Here are some of the places that almost every person wants to see in their life. Santorini This is one of the most amazing places in the world. It is said to have been destroyed in the 16th century. It has been rebuilt and its beauty increases with every passing day. There are a lot of islands in Greece and time permitting, sunbathing on any of these would be an unforgettable experience. The Capilano Suspension Bridge An amazing place to visit in the world is the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This bridge is located in Vancouver in British Columbia, a province of Canada. It’s almost 140 meters long and 70 meters above the river. Surrounded by lush rainforest, it offers visitors breathtaking views of the canyon and the river below. The bridge sways (摇晃) gently in the wind, adding an exciting element to the experience. Rome Another beautiful place to visit is the ancient city of Rome in Italy. It is also known as the center of Western civilization. This city was founded in 753 BC. The Colosseum, one of the world’s most historical sites, is also in Rome. The Taj Mahal It is also a good choice to visit the Taj Mahal in India. It is called the monument (纪念碑) of love and built to show Mughal Emperor Shah Jeha’s love for his wife. It is located on the south bank of the Yamuna River. Its ivory-white (象牙白) color is also attractive and it is one of the miracles of the Mughal art of building. 21. What can visitors do in Santorini? A. Enjoy themselves in the sun. B. Witness a symbol of love. C. Climb a famous bridge. D. Pay a visit to the Colosseum. 22. What do we know about the Taj Mahal from the text? A. Its roof is made of ivory. B. It is a Mughal-style building. C. It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah as his grave. D. It is located on the north bank of the Yamuna River. 23. What do these tourist destinations have in common? A. They are all natural wonders. B. They are the most visited places in the world. C. They are all known for their ancient buildings. D. They each have unique features that attract tourists. B A 23-year-old man can do weightlifting in many ways as hard as any other gym-goer, but he only has one leg. Nathan Seawood doesn’t let his disability keep him from the weight room. Instead, he’s learning to bear a different load. “This isn’t just a physical battle in the gym,” Seawood said. “It’s a mental battle for myself.” Refusing to be weighed down by his disability, Seawood draws strength from his mind, as he fights to make it through each step. “That takes a lot out of me. I push my body so hard that I’m tired,” said Seawood, who once thought he might have to give up the weights forever. Seawood ended up in a hospital bed with one leg after falling off a boat in Long Lake near Traverse City in June,2019. His left leg got caught in the propeller and had to be cut. “I didn’t want people to see me,” Seawood said. “I couldn’t accept what had happened to me because it’s a lifestyle change. And that was hard. I was down bad.” Seawood said a therapist helped lift his spirits. “I wanted to be able to walk and that was difficult because I’m using muscles that never really get noticed as much,”. Seawood said. Now he’s using those muscles to train hard at Grand Rapids City Gym, inspiring those around him to keep pushing, “He faces difficulties most of us don’t have to,” Jeff Phillips, who owns the gym, said. “I mean, he’s in here and he only has one leg, but he’s doing a lot of the same lifts everybody with two legs are doing. It’s surely encouraging to see him doing that.” Despite life’s best attempt to knock him down, Seawood is still standing, and while he may exercise differently from others, he’s thankful to still be moving. “I might have a disability, but I’m not disabled,” Seawood said. 24. What plays the key role in Seawood’s weightlifting? A. His right leg. B. The others’ encouragement. C. His strong will. D. His family. 25. What led to Nathan Seawood’s disability? A. An accident. B. An early birth. C. A serious disease. D. A medical mistake. 26. Which of the following words can best describe Nathan Seawood? A. Confident and honest. B. Smart and hardworking. C. Calm and modest. D. Determined and positive. 27. Why is Jeff Phillips mentioned in paragraph 6? A. To tell Seawood’s sad story. B. To draw attention to weightlifting. C. To speak highly of Seawood. D. To show sympathy for Seawood. C If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality device. Rikke Wahl, an actress. model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. “As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner’s pants,” she said. “That’s the picture I remember best.” The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it. To get used to seeing another person’s body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised (同步的) movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person’s body. Using such technology promises to alter people’s behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias (偏见) that humans have against those who don’t look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people’s associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants’ bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you’ve “put yourself in another’s shoes” you’re less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person. The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. “At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms.”, says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. “It’s a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone.” 28. The word “swapping” (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to ______. A. building B. exchanging C. controlling D. transplanting. 29. We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that ______. A. our feelings are related to our bodily experience B. we can learn to take control of other people’s bodies C. participants will live more passionately after the experiment D. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes 30. In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned digital character, ______. A. they fought strongly against racism B. they scored lower on the test for racism C. they changed their behaviour dramatically D. they were more biased against those unlike them 31. It can be concluded from the passage that ______. A. technology helps people realize their dreams B. our biases could be eliminated through experiments C. virtual reality helps promote understanding among people D. our points of view about others need changing constantly D Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories. “The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.” Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication. e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations — found that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others. Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused (激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.” 32. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to? A. News reports. B. Research papers. C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations. 33. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer? A. They’re socially inactive. B. They’re good at telling stories. C. They’re inconsiderate of others. D. They’re careful with their words. 34. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research? A. Sports news. B. Science articles. C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide B. Online News Attracts More People C. Reading Habits Change with the Times D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks 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。 Interruptions (打扰) are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done 36 , there are several ways to handle things.

He was one of the last two students left in Room Five’s Geography Bee (地理知识竞赛). His opponent (对手) had missed the last question, so now it was Hector’s turn. If he answered his question right, he would be the Room Five champion. “Where did I put that second sheet of questions?” Mr. Adler whispered. He was looking through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler was a great teacher, but everyone knew he was disorganized (没有条理的). He often lost things. “Well, sorry for keeping you waiting,” Mr. Adler said after a long time. “Hector, please tell us the capital of Brazil.” When Hector heard the question, he smiled — and then he gave the right answer. Later that day, Hector was in the school courtyard. Many of his classmates came to congratulate him. He wore a proud smile, greeted them all, and thanked each one. Victory felt really sweet. He was so looking forward to the final contest the next day. It was getting late, and the courtyard was almost empty. But Hector still didn’t want to leave. Then he saw Mr. Adler walking across the courtyard. The teacher was holding a half-open bag full of papers. As he hurried by, an envelope fell out. Mr. Adler didn’t notice. He turned a corner and was gone. Hector picked up the envelope. On it were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers.” Hector’s eyes opened wide as he looked at it. He didn’t have time to think about the results before he opened it and read the questions. As soon as he finished, Hector knew he had made a wrong choice. He had cheated, and no matter what he did now, he couldn’t change that. “What if Mr. Adler thinks I stole the questions for this morning’s bee too?” Hector thought. “He will definitely take away my Room Five champion title.” He never expected that one of the best days of his life would turn so bad so fast. Hector was worried about what he did and didn’t know what to do. Paragraph 1: Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
