A couple in their 60s has travelled 12,000 miles across 16 countries from Britain to China — riding their bikes the entire way.Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”.They travelled across cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia.The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.
Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”.At the end of their journey, the special pair didn't fly home but instead choose to book a cabin inside a 400m-long container ship.The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.
“You never know what the day is going to bring.All you know is that you are going to get on your bike and cycle.Every day is an adventure and every day is new.Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable,” Peter said.
Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home.They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg.After even months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain.They finally arrived in China in November 2018.
Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire trip was coming across the friendship of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.Chris, 64, said, “It was a wonderful experience, particularly wonderful because of the amazing people we met along the way.”

The British may be made fun of for their weather-related small talk, but a recent study suggests that just four minutes of chatting can reveal aspects of our personality and influence subsequent social interactions.
Researchers divided 338 participants into two groups before meeting in person and asked each participant to complete a personality and IQ test. Within each group, participants were paired and either conversed by text for 4 minutes or had no contact with their partner. Participants were then required to infer aspects of their partner's personality and predict whether they would act cooperatively or selfishly in two money-based strategy games.
The results showed that those who chatted scored higher in predicting their partners' IQ and personality test responses, but were also more likely to project their own personality characteristics onto their partners. “Our research suggests that in just a few minutes of small talk, we begin to form a mental model of the person we're talking to,” says Professor Sgroi.
Participants then met and played with their conversation partner or, in the case of the no-contact group, met and played with strangers.
The researchers then gave each participant £20 and asked them to contribute to a joint pot (罐) shared with their partners, an experiment called the Public Goods Game.
The team says people who have chatted with their partners are more likely to correctly predict their contributions to the pot. In addition, those who chatted beforehand (事先) contributed 30% more than those who did not. The results also depended on the relationships they established through small talk.
Georgie Nightingall, founder of Trigger Conversations, says that small talk is a great way to encourage cooperation in the workplace. “People are bad at small talk because it feels like there is no end to it. It can feel awkward and pointless once you have all the information you need. While asking questions helps build relationships with people, people will be happy to have a chat if you show that you care about others. My advice is to be sincere and considerate.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明,仅仅四分钟的闲聊就可以揭示我们的性格,并影响随后的社交互动,专家因此建议我们在谈话中表现出真诚和体贴的特质。
8.What does the underlined word “reveal” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Contribute to. B.Give away.
C.Limit. D.Change.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“The results showed that those ... partners' IQ and personality test responses”和“Our research suggests that in just a few minutes of ... the person we're talking to”可知,一项研究结果表明,通过四分钟的闲聊,我们的性格就会透露出来,被交谈的另一方知晓。因此reveal意为“透露,揭示”,与B项意思相近。
9.What helps conversation partners predict their contributions correctly?
A.Their common interests and hobbies.
B.The differences of their personalities.
C.The accurate judgments of each other's IQ.
D.Their previous impressions and connections.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句和倒数第二段中的“The results also depended on the relationships they established through small talk.”可知,通过闲聊,我们得以了解对方的性格等心理特质,并建立了一定的联系,从而可以比较准确地预测对方的行为。由此推断,对话中建立的印象和联系帮助预测得更为准确。
10.What does Nightingall suggest we do to inspire others to communicate with us?
A.Avoid asking them questions.
B.Share our personal privacy.
C.Show genuine concern for them.
D.Start with our strengths and virtues.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“While asking questions helps ...My advice is to be sincere and considerate.”可知,Nightingall建议通过做到真诚和体贴来激励他人与我们进行交谈。
11.What's the purpose of this text?
A.To present a research outcome.
B.To describe a cultural phenomenon.
C.To assess British people's social skills.
D.To motivate people to interact by texting.
解析:选A 写作目的题。通读全文可知,一项研究表明,仅仅四分钟的闲聊就可以揭示我们的性格,并影响随后的社交互动,文章具体陈述了研究的对象、过程和数据来解释这一研究结果。因此,本文的写作目的是呈现一项研究结果。
D
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it is of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the most patient and cheerful companion. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them. The best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time has been to sift (筛选) out the bad products, for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them and grieve with them. The great and good do not die, even in this world. Recorded in books, people's spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了好书的益处,建议读者珍惜书籍,就像珍惜朋友一样。
12.According to the author, what is the difference between our books and our friends?
A.Books remain patient and cheerful for a longer time.
B.Books provide comfort in old age, unlike our friends.
C.Friends can sometimes disappoint us, similar to our books.
D.Books reflect a person's character more than their friends do.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It is the most patient and cheerful companion.”可知,书和我们的朋友的不同在于书能在更长的时间里保持耐心和快乐。
13.Why are temples and statues mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To prove the value of time.
B.To highlight the longevity of books.
C.To show people's preference for literature.
D.To emphasize the importance of ancient architecture.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive.”可知,第四段提到寺庙和雕像是为了强调书籍的寿命很长。
14.What does the author advise readers to do?
A.Become a wise man by reading.
B.Read as many classic books as we can.
C.Cherish the company of our books just like our friends.
D.Sympathize with your friends through your favorite author.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Books introduce us into the best society ... intellect to which one still listens.”可知,作者建议读者珍惜书籍,就像珍惜朋友一样。
15.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Companionship of Books
B.Long Live Books
C.Our Best Friends
D.Love Me, Love My Book
解析:选A 标题归纳题。根据第一段并结合文章主要论述了一本好书可能是最好的朋友之一,说明了好书带来的益处,建议读者珍惜书籍,就像珍惜朋友一样。故A项“书的陪伴”适合作文章标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Collaboration (协作) happens more often than we realize. __16__. This may seem easy in theory but being an effective collaborator can sometimes be a challenge. Below are the tips on how to improve your collaboration skills.
·Listening
__17__. During collaboration, it can be easy to get so wrapped up in your own ideas that you're not giving your full attention and consideration to everyone else's. If everyone in the room falls victim to this, there wouldn't really be any collaboration happening. Take time to really listen and process the ideas of others.
·Giving and receiving honest feedback
It's important that everyone is able to be straightforward when giving and receiving feedback. When you share your opinion and someone else disagrees with it, try not to take it personally. __18__. It's not necessarily for your ideas to be right. On the other hand, you should also feel comfortable with giving open and honest feedback to others so long as you're being polite.
·__19__
This could be someone who works in a different position at your job, someone with a different background from you, or someone who's an expert in the topic you're seeking information about. This can help to start more dynamic conversations and introduce new ideas you may not have come up with if you were working on your own or with a group of like-minded people.
Collaboration may not always be easy. __20__.
A.Appreciating ideas from different fields
B.Seeking collaborators outside your field
C.It's important to not let your self-importance take hold
D.Without collaboration, we may not be able to complete most of our work
E.If you do feel annoyed, remind yourself the goal is to find an ideal solution
F.It can be defined as working together with others to achieve a common goal
G.But if you apply these ideas, you may find the experience productive and positive
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何成为一个有效的合作者提供了切实可行的建议。
16.解析:选F 上文谈到协作发生的频率比我们意识到的要高。再结合下文的“in theory”可知,空处应该是在理论上对协作进行解释。故F项“它可以被定义为与他人一起努力来实现共同目标”承上启下,符合语境。
17.解析:选C 本段建议“倾听”。下文谈到在合作过程中,你很容易完全沉浸在自己的想法中,以至于没有全神贯注地考虑别人的想法。故C项“重要的是不要让你的自负占据上风”衔接下文,符合语境。
18.解析:选E 本段建议“给予并接受诚实的反馈意见”。上文谈到当你分享你的意见而其他人不同意时,尽量不要生气。下文谈到了你的想法不一定是正确的,故E项“如果你确实感到生气,提醒自己目标是找到理想的解决方案”承上启下,符合语境。
19.解析:选B 本空是段落小标题。根据其他小标题的句式可知,本空应在A项与B项中选择。根据下文的“这可能是在你的工作中担任不同职位的人,与你背景不同的人,或者是你正在寻找的信息的主题方面的专家”可知,本段应讲述寻找什么样的人来合作。故B项“寻找你所在领域以外的合作者”符合语境。
20.解析:选G 根据第一段最后一句以及本文的每个小标题所阐述的内容可知,本文是在建议如何成为一个有效的合作者。空前谈到“协作可能并不总是那么容易”,故G项“但是,如果你应用这些建议,你可能会发现这种体验是富有成效并积极的”符合语境。选项中的“But”表转折,同时“these ideas”与本文的建议相吻合。
第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“动物园漫步”这一新兴活动在中国年轻人中的流行及其背后所体现的对自然和野生动物保护的关注。
36.closer 考查形容词比较级。根据空前的“much”以及语境可知,此处是与以往单纯为了好玩去动物园相比,现在想要建立更紧密的联系,故用比较级closer。
37.Located 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,locate与其逻辑主语Hongshan Forest Zoo之间是动宾关系,应用过去分词作状语,且设空处位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Located。
38.to 考查介词。be similar to是固定搭配,意为“与……相似”。故填to。

41.an 考查冠词。play a(n) ... role in 是固定短语,意为“在……中起……作用”,且important以元音音素开头,故用不定冠词 an。
42.were held 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语“In 2023”可知,句子用一般过去时;主语many educational exhibits和谓语动词hold之间是被动关系,且主语是复数,故填were held。

A Friendly Football Match Between Sister Schools
Last Friday, a friendly football match was held between our school and the British sister school. The stands around the football field were packed to full by a large group of fans!
At the beginning, the captain of our school team kicked off the match and he soon inspired his players greatly with an early goal. The British team then followed, giving a shot about twenty minutes later. The audience kept cheering for both sides, especially when two of our players stopped to tend a British player who fell suddenly. It was a very close match, and our school narrowly won by 3-2.
This activity serves as a window for us to have a glimpse of each other's extra-curricular life. Both sides hope that more exchange activities like this will be held in the future to promote cultural communication.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My great-grandmother Eileen is fierce, loyal and strong and a bit of a legend in her own lifetime, which now stretches to 92 years.I should add that we're not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.
That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless.One day, I paid a visit to her.She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table.“There you go,” she said.“You do know what you're doing with these things, don't you?”
It was a new phone.Her current mobile was pretty ancient.I was amazed it was still going.
“Yes,” I said.
“Good.That's why I ask you.You young people know more about such things than us oldies.You can take it home with you and get it all set up,” she went on.“Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending emails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her.
I grabbed the box and stood up.Setting up the phone would be easy.It was teaching her how to use it that may prove challenging.
The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother's with the phone.“Here's your phone.It's all ready to use.”
For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe (滑动屏幕).“What do you mean, swipe?” she asked.She was 92, I reminded myself.This had been tiring for her.
She pressed at the up arrow and got angry when nothing happened.When I finally got her to swipe, she didn't put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away.After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa.“Take it away!” she howled.“I want my old phone back!”
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn't want to go home when she was angry and upset.

“Come on, Eileen.One more try.” I said.“This time I'll hold your finger and show you how much pressure to use.Guess what, it took me a while to get the hang of swiping,” added I.I held her finger gently and her face lit up when the menu appeared.“I want a selfie with you.Show me how to use the camera!” My heart sank a bit, but she didn't need a lot of help and we sent her friend Emily a photo of us both laughing.“I can't wait to show everyone my new phone,” she said happily.“Thank you for your patience, Tom.”
I was not feeling so hopeless any more now.Great-grandma's spirit inspired me greatly.It occurred to me that if a 92-year-old lady could learn new skills, then so could I.I had no doubt that I would find something I liked even more.There must be a job out there for me somewhere and I was sure to find it.I headed for home with a smile on my face and a whole lot of love for my amazing great-grandmother.My great-grandmother would always be a role model for me to learn from.
