Why not B. Why bother C. What’s up D. What if 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我已经尝试好几次修理这台旧打印机了，但它依旧无法正常运转。——何必费心？它已经不值得再费力了，我们直接买台新的吧。A. Why not为什么不呢（表示同意或建议）；B. Why bother何必费心（表示某事不值得做或不必要）；C. What’s up怎么了/发生什么事了（用于询问情况）；D. What if 如果……会怎样（用于提出假设）。根据答句中“It’s not worth the effort anymore.”可知，说话者认为继续修理旧打印机是没必要的，建议放弃并买新的。因此“Why bother”符合语境。 2. ________ in the footsteps of his own teacher, Mr Wang has now passed down his skills to the new members, ________ will take on many of the future repairs. A. Following; who B. Followed; which C. To follow; whom D. Having followed; they 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：王老师追随自己老师的脚步，现在已将自己的技艺传授给了新成员，他们将承担未来的许多维修工作。第一空：已有谓语动词has passed down，空处作状语，Mr Wang和follow为主动关系，且和谓语动作同时发生，需用现在分词following；第二空：空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词the new members，指人，关系词在定语从句中作主语，需用关系代词who引导。 3.

A. come; is B. comes; is C. come; are D. comes; are 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：来这个风景名胜区的游客数量正以每年约15%的速度增长。第1空处come(来)是定语从句中谓语动词，描述客观事实用一般现在时态，主语that(即先行词tourists)是复数，谓语动词用复数形式come；第2空处是主句谓语动词，“The number of +”作主语，谓语动词用单数形式is rising。 4. ________ can solve this complex math problem deserves ________ special recognition from the school. A. Whoever; to give B. Whomever; giving C. Whoever; to be given D. Whomever; given 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：任何能解出这道复杂数学题的人，都值得学校给予特别表彰。第一空，空处引导主语从句且在从句中作主语，表“无论谁、任何人”，应用Whoever；Whomever只能作宾语，故排除。第二空，固定搭配deserve to do sth.（值得做某事），主语anyone与recognize为被动关系，需用不定式被动式to be given。 5. The museum has collections ________ from Europe, most of ________ were donated by a local businessman in the 1950s. A. originated; them B. originating; which C. originated; whom D. originating; them 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这家博物馆有源自欧洲的藏品，其中大部分是一位当地商人在20世纪50年代捐赠的。第一空，名词collections与动词originate为主动关系，应用现在分词originating作后置定语；第二空，逗号后为most of+关系代词引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为指物的collections，关系代词用which。 6.

A. that; because B. why; that C. which; that D. why; because 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他解释的开会迟到的原因是他遇到了交通堵塞。第一空：空处引导定语从句，先行词为reason，关系词在从句中作explained的宾语，需用关系代词that/which/不填引导；第二空：空处引导表语从句，从句不缺成分，需用连接词that引导。 8.

A. have been recycled B. was recycled C. has been recycled D. were recycled 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：在过去三年里，当地环保组织回收了大量塑料瓶、餐盒等废弃物。Over the past three years搭配现在完成时，waste与recycle为被动关系，所以此处使用现在完成时的被动语态，huge quantities of+名词作主语，谓语用复数，所以谓语动词用have been recycled。 9. The government has announced an ________ plan to build 20 new hospitals and 50 schools within the next three years. A. uncomplicated B. fierce C. mysterious D. ambitious 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：政府宣布了一项宏伟计划，在未来三年内建造20所新医院和50所新学校。A. uncomplicated 不复杂的，简单的；B. fierce 激烈的，凶猛的；C. mysterious 神秘的；D. ambitious 雄心勃勃的，规模宏大的。根据句中“建造20所新医院和50所新学校”这一大规模建设目标可知，该计划需要巨大的资源和努力，体现了政府的宏大愿景。因此“ambitious”符合语境。 10.

A. which B. when C. what D. that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查表语从句。句意：对我来说，最激动人心的时刻是当我被告知我在英语比赛中获得了第一名的时候。空格处引导的是表语从句，由“I was informed that I won the first prize in the English contest”可知，句子表示“最激动人心的时刻是当我被告知我在英语比赛中获得了第一名的时候”，空格处意为“……的时候”，因此空格处用when引导表语从句，故选B。 14.

She grew up in a difficult family situation. Her father was violent and drunken every day. In 1778, she was tired of such a life and decided to take a job as a lady’s companion to Sarah Dawson. This proved a difficult experience as she didn’t get on well with the old lady. However, around this time, she made friends with Fanny Blood, who played an important role in helping her overcome the challenges. The two became very close and Fanny Blood’s death in 1785 was quite a shock to Mary. For a while, Mary worked as a tutor in a large Irish family. She had a talent for teaching but took a dislike to Lady Kingsborough. To Mary, Kingsborough was not an ideal woman. In Lady Kingsborough, she saw a woman with no real independence, but just concerned about appearances and pleasing men. Mary later developed her thoughts on the concept of a good wife. Mary had a desire to become a writer. Mary returned to London where she met with famous men such as Thomas Paine, William Godwin and Joseph Johnson. In London, she became more aware of new political and philosophical ideas. The late eighteenth century was an age of change. The old “divine rights (王权神授)” of kings was being replaced with greater faith in human reason and liberty. In 1790, she wrote the Vindication of the Rights of Men. This sought to defend the principles of the French Revolution against Edmund Burke’s conservative critique (批评). Shortly after the Vindication of the Rights of Men, Mary wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Women. This was a ground-breaking book, as it proposed women were the equal of men. 41. What can be inferred about Mary’s family background from the first paragraph? A. Her family was poor but well-educated. B. Her father’s behavior made home life unbearable. C. Her mother encouraged her to leave home. D. She was forced by heavy economic pressure. 42. What can be inferred about Fanny Blood from the passage? A. She introduced Mary to famous writers. B. She was Mary’s first employer. C. She helped Mary get through difficult times. D. She encouraged Mary to leave her family. 43. Why did Mary disapprove of Lady Kingsborough? A. Because she was too independent. B. Because she cared too much about men’s opinions. C. Because she was not beautiful enough. D. Because she treated Mary poorly. 44. The word “ground-breaking” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _____. A. traditional B. ordinary C. innovative D. confusing 45. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce Mary’s famous books. B. To describe Mary’s views on women’s rights. C. To compare Mary with other female writers. D. To give an account of Mary’s life and ideas. 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. B 44. C 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是著名作家玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特（Mary Wollstonecraft）的生平经历与思想发展。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Her father was violent and drunken every day. In 1778, she was tired of such a life and decided to take a job as a lady’s companion to Sarah Dawson.(她的父亲每天都酗酒且脾气暴躁。1778 年，她厌倦了这样的生活，决定去为萨拉·道森当女伴。)”可知，从第一段中可以推断出玛丽的父亲的行为让家庭生活难以忍受。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, around this time, she made friends with Fanny Blood, who played an important role in helping her overcome the challenges.(然而，在这段时间里，她与Fanny Blood结为了朋友，Fanny在帮助她克服重重困难方面发挥了重要作用。)”可知，Fanny Blood帮助玛丽度过了艰难时期。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To Mary, Kingsborough was not an ideal woman. In Lady Kingsborough, she saw a woman with no real independence, but just concerned about appearances and pleasing men.(在玛丽看来，金斯伯勒夫人并非理想的女性。从金斯伯勒夫人身上，她看到的是一个毫无真正独立意识，只关心外表、一心取悦男人的女性。)”可知，玛丽不赞成金斯伯勒夫人是因为她她过于在意男人的看法。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“In London, she became more aware of new political and philosophical ideas.(在伦敦，她更加深入地接触到了新的政治和哲学思想。)”和最后一段“as it proposed women were the equal of men(因为它主张女性与男性是平等的)”可知，她主张的女性与男性是平等的是新的思想，因此ground-breaking的意思是“创新的”，和innovative意思相近。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是文中的时间、倒数第二段“In London, she became more aware of new political and philosophical ideas.(在伦敦，她更加深入地接触到了新的政治和哲学思想。)”和最后一段“In 1790, she wrote the Vindication of the Rights of Men. This sought to defend the principles of the French Revolution against Edmund Burke’s conservative critique (批评). Shortly after the Vindication of the Rights of Men, Mary wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Women. This was a ground-breaking book, as it proposed women were the equal of men.(1790年，她撰写了《人权辩护》。该书旨在针对埃德蒙·伯克的保守批评，捍卫法国大革命的原则。在《人权辩护》出版后不久，玛丽又撰写了《为女权辩护》。这是一本具有开创性的著作，因为它提出女性与男性是平等的。)”可知，本文主要讲的是著名作家玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特（Mary Wollstonecraft）的生平经历与思想发展，因此目的是讲述玛丽的生平及思想。 C After work, you go back home, open an app, place your order, and wait for your food to be delivered to your home. This is how many young people eat in China these days. According to the latest report from the China Internet Network Information Center, 421 million Chinese people use online food delivery services. That's equal to half of the total number of Internet users in China. Which group of people is ordering food online the most? For sure, it is mainly young people. A recent report that was published by the China Hospitality Association and Meituan, a food delivery service, showed that 86.3 percent of the service’s users are between 20 and 34 years old. These people are the main force driving the development of the food delivery industry. Small families rely largely on food delivery services. According to the National Bureau Statistics, Chinese families have changed in size over the past ten years. In 2002, only 7.7 percent of families had only one person. But this number increased to 15.6 percent in 2017. The percentage of two-person families rose from 18.4 in 2002 to 27.2 in 2017. For small families, cooking always takes a lot of time and energy, so ordering food online has become more popular. The improvement of China's food delivery services has also made more customers interested. According to Meituan’s report, the average time it takes to make a food delivery dropped from 38 minutes in 2016 to 29 minutes in 2020. Many delivery platforms are also offering more services, delivering products such as fruit, vegetables, medicine and even flowers. As their services continue to improve, it’s certain that the food delivery industry will keep growing in the future. 46. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A.

Why Small Families Prefer Ordering Food Online D. The Future of China’s Internet Users 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. C 49. A 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国外卖行业的发展现状，说明其主要用户群体、小型家庭需求及服务升级等推动行业持续发展的多重原因。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“After work, you go back home, open an app, place your order, and wait for your food to be delivered to your home. This is how many young people eat in China these days.(下班后回到家、点开软件下单、等待送餐上门，这是如今许多中国年轻人的日常就餐方式。)”可知，作者通过描绘日常场景引出话题。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A recent report that was published by the China Hospitality Association and Meituan, a food delivery service, showed that 86.3 percent of the service’s users are between 20 and 34 years old. These people are the main force driving the development of the food delivery industry.(中国酒店协会和美团最近发布的一份报告显示，该服务86.3%的用户年龄在20至34岁之间。这些人是推动食品配送行业发展的主力军。)”可知，外卖用户是推动该行业发展的主要力量。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For small families, cooking always takes a lot of time and energy, so ordering food online has become more popular.(对于小型家庭来说，做饭耗费大量时间和精力，因此线上点餐变得更加普遍。)”可知，小型家庭认为做饭费时费力。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“According to Meituan’s report, the average time it takes to make a food delivery dropped from 38 minutes in 2016 to 29 minutes in 2020. (根据美团的报告，外卖平均配送时长从2016年的38分钟缩短至2020年的29分钟。)”以及“Many delivery platforms are also offering more services, delivering products such as fruit, vegetables, medicine and even flowers.(许多外卖平台拓展更多业务，可配送水果、蔬菜、药品、鲜花等各类商品。)”可知，配送时长缩短、配送品类增多是人们更多地点外卖的原因，对应①③。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to the latest report from the China Internet Network Information Center, 421 million Chinese people use online food delivery services.(根据中国互联网信息中心的最新报告，4.21亿中国人使用在线送餐服务)”以及文章内容可知，全文围绕外卖行业的用户群体、发展诱因、服务升级与未来趋势展开，整体讲述中国外卖行业的发展，所以“中国外卖行业的发展”适合作为文章标题。 D Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders. Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same “fight-or-flight” reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict (“fight”), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (“flight”). However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend”. That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (“tend”), and by looking for social contact and support from others — especially other females (“befriend”). Scientists have known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones (激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr. Shelley E. Taylor, explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious”. While men also secrete (分泌) oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones. In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost. The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs. The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory (调节的) system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men. 51. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress, men are more likely than women to ______. A. turn to friends for help B. solve a conflict calmly C. find an escape from reality D. seek comfort from children 52. Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage? A. Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do. B. Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women. C. Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin. D. Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men. 53. What can be learned from the passage? A. Male hormones can help build up the body's resistance to stress. B. In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does. C. Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress. D. The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings. 54. The underlined words in the Paragraph 5 may mean ______. A. managing B. enduring C. claiming D. ignoring 55. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. How men and women get over stress B. How men and women suffer from stress C. How researchers overcome stress problems D. How researchers handle stress-related disorders 【答案】51. C 52. D 53. C 54. A 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了加州大学研究发现男女应对压力的生理与行为反应不同，男性多战或逃，女性多照料与交友，该差异影响健康与寿命。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend”. (然而，加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究小组发现，男性和女性对压力的生物和行为反应截然不同。虽然男性通常以战或逃的方式应对压力，但女性通常会有另一种反应，可以称为“照顾和交友”。)”可知，面对压力，与女性相比，男性有可能逃避现实。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“While men also secrete (分泌) oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones. (男性也会分泌催产素，但雄性激素会减弱其作用。)”可知，男性也会分泌催产素，但催产素对女性的影响更大。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. (然而，加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究小组发现，男性和女性对压力的生物和行为反应截然不同。)”以及第三段“Scientists have known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones (激素) released by the body.(科学家们已经知道，在对压力的战斗或逃跑反应中，身体释放的某些激素起着重要作用)”可知，生理差异导致了不同的压力行为反应。 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs. (典型的父亲希望独处，享受一些平静。对于一个典型的母亲来说，coping with糟糕的一天工作意味着要把注意力集中在孩子和他们的需求上。)”可知，此处表示母亲应对糟糕的一天的方式，coping with意为“应对，设法解决”。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress.(加州大学洛杉矶分校心理学系的研究人员发现，男性和女性对压力的反应方式存在重大差异)”以及文章内容可知，全文围绕男女面对压力的不同反应方式、生理原因以及带来的影响展开，核心是男女如何应对压力，所以“男女如何克服压力”适合作为文章标题。 IV.阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分,满分 10 分） Grandparents’ Day is a warm holiday that allows children and adults an opportunity to show their appreciation for their Grandparents. Grandparents’ Day and the weeks just before it are the time when children all over the country start thinking about what to get their Grandmothers and Grandfathers as presents for Grandparents’ Day. Of course, giving presents is just one way of celebrating Grandparents’ Day, but how to give gifts requires planning. Choosing presents for Grandparents’ Day can be a very difficult task. Because Grandparents’ Day and holidays of its kind are meant to honor some of the most important people in our lives, the task of choosing presents that will be appropriate can be challenging. You don’t know what they like and what can show how much you love and care for them. Especially for those children who do not have much money, finding the suitable Grandparents’ Day present at the right price is a very difficult task. One solution to the difficulty is not to buy anything at all. Rather than buying a material item that is almost sure to be short of expressing the depth and sincerity (诚心诚意) of your feelings for your Grandmother or Grandfather, consider another kind of choice entirely. One way that you can show a Grandparent that you really care is to make them something. A handmade card or flower or a written poem can go a long way towards expressing your love on Grandparents’ Day. Of course, there are also a lot more other ways to celebrate Grandparents’ Day than by just giving presents to your parents. 56. What is the main purpose of Grandparents’ Day according to the passage? (No more than 12 words) ________________________________________________ 57. Why is it challenging for children to choose appropriate gifts for their grandparents? (No more than 20 words) ________________________________________________ 58. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “appropriate”? (1 word) ________________________________________________ 59. What does the author suggest as a better way to express love on Grandparent’ Day instead of buying gifts? (No more than 12 words) ________________________________________________ 60. Do you agree with the author that handmade gifts are better than bought ones for Grandparents’ Day? Why or why not? (No more than 25 words) ________________________________________________ 【答案】56. To allow people to show appreciation for their grandparents. 57. Because they don’t know grandparents’ preferences and may have little money. 58. Suitable. 59. Making handmade gifts for grandparents. 60. Yes. Because handmade gifts can better show sincere love and care for grandparents. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了祖父母节的意义，孩子为祖父母挑选合适礼物的困难，以及提出制作手工礼物等更好的表达爱意的方式。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“Grandparents’ Day is a warm holiday that allows children and adults an opportunity to show their appreciation for their Grandparents. (祖父母节是一个温馨的节日，它让孩子们和成年人有机会向他们的祖父母表达感激之情。)”可知，祖父母节的主要目的是让人们向祖父母表达感激之情。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“You don’t know what they like and what can show how much you love and care for them. Especially for those children who do not have much money, finding the suitable Grandparents’ Day present at the right price is a very difficult task. (你不知道他们喜欢什么，也不知道什么能表达你对他们的爱和关心。尤其是对于那些没有多少钱的孩子来说，以合适的价格找到合适的祖父母节礼物是一项非常困难的任务。)”可知，孩子们为祖父母选择合适的礼物具有挑战性是因为他们不知道祖父母的喜好，并且可能没有多少钱。 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第二段“Because Grandparents’ Day and holidays of its kind are meant to honor some of the most important people in our lives, the task of choosing presents that will be appropriate can be challenging. (因为祖父母节和类似的节日是为了纪念我们生活中一些最重要的人，所以选择appropriate礼物的任务可能具有挑战性。)”以及后文提到孩子们不知道祖父母的喜好，很难选择到合适的礼物，可推测出“appropriate”意为“合适的”，与“Suitable”同义。 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“One way that you can show a Grandparent that you really care is to make them something. A handmade card or flower or a written poem can go a long way towards expressing your love on Grandparents’ Day. (向祖父母表达你真正关心他们的一种方式是给他们做点什么。一张手工制作的卡片、一朵花或一首写好的诗，都能在祖父母节表达你的爱意。)”可知，作者建议，在祖父母节，除了买礼物，制作手工礼物是更好的表达爱意的方式。 【60题详解】 考查观点表达。这是一个开放性问题，同意或不同意作者的观点均可，只要给出合理的理由即可。如果同意作者的观点，可以说手工制作的礼物能更好地表达对祖父母的真诚的爱和关心；如果不同意作者的观点，可以说买来的礼物也可能很精美，能表达对祖父母的爱意。以下给出的是同意作者观点的答案及解析。根据第三段中“Rather than buying a material item that is almost sure to be short of expressing the depth and sincerity (诚心诚意) of your feelings for your Grandmother or Grandfather, consider another kind of choice entirely. One way that you can show a Grandparent that you really care is to make them something. A handmade card or flower or a written poem can go a long way towards expressing your love on Grandparents’ Day. (与其买一件几乎肯定无法表达你对祖父母感情深度与诚心诚意的物质物品，不如完全考虑另一种选择。向祖父母表达你真正关心他们的一种方式是为他们做些东西。一张手工卡片、一朵花或一首写好的诗，在祖父母节表达你的爱意方面大有帮助)”可知，手工礼物能更好地表达真诚的爱与关心，故可给出肯定回答及理由（因为手工制作的礼物更能充分体现出对祖父母真挚的爱与关怀）。 Ⅴ.书面表达（满分 25 分） 61. 假设你是李津，你的英国笔友 Jade 相貌普通，自恋，因沉迷修图和追求点赞而困扰。她却觉得没伤害别人，不在乎。请给她写一封回信，内容包括： 1. 表示理解； 2. 分析过度依赖修图和点赞的危害； 3. 给出具体建议，帮助她建立健康自我认知。 注意： 1.词数不少于 100； 2.可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； 3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jade, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours faithfully, LiJin 【答案】Dear Jade, Your desire to present a perfect image on social media is completely normal today, but overdependence on retouching apps can be harmful.

She grew up in a difficult family situation. Her father was violent and drunken every day. In 1778, she was tired of such a life and decided to take a job as a lady’s companion to Sarah Dawson. This proved a difficult experience as she didn’t get on well with the old lady. However, around this time, she made friends with Fanny Blood, who played an important role in helping her overcome the challenges. The two became very close and Fanny Blood’s death in 1785 was quite a shock to Mary. For a while, Mary worked as a tutor in a large Irish family. She had a talent for teaching but took a dislike to Lady Kingsborough. To Mary, Kingsborough was not an ideal woman. In Lady Kingsborough, she saw a woman with no real independence, but just concerned about appearances and pleasing men. Mary later developed her thoughts on the concept of a good wife. Mary had a desire to become a writer. Mary returned to London where she met with famous men such as Thomas Paine, William Godwin and Joseph Johnson. In London, she became more aware of new political and philosophical ideas. The late eighteenth century was an age of change. The old “divine rights (王权神授)” of kings was being replaced with greater faith in human reason and liberty. In 1790, she wrote the Vindication of the Rights of Men. This sought to defend the principles of the French Revolution against Edmund Burke’s conservative critique (批评). Shortly after the Vindication of the Rights of Men, Mary wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Women. This was a ground-breaking book, as it proposed women were the equal of men. 41. What can be inferred about Mary’s family background from the first paragraph? A. Her family was poor but well-educated. B. Her father’s behavior made home life unbearable. C. Her mother encouraged her to leave home. D. She was forced by heavy economic pressure. 42. What can be inferred about Fanny Blood from the passage? A. She introduced Mary to famous writers. B. She was Mary’s first employer. C. She helped Mary get through difficult times. D. She encouraged Mary to leave her family. 43. Why did Mary disapprove of Lady Kingsborough? A. Because she was too independent. B. Because she cared too much about men’s opinions. C. Because she was not beautiful enough. D. Because she treated Mary poorly. 44. The word “ground-breaking” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _____. A. traditional B. ordinary C. innovative D. confusing 45. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce Mary’s famous books. B. To describe Mary’s views on women’s rights. C. To compare Mary with other female writers. D. To give an account of Mary’s life and ideas. C After work, you go back home, open an app, place your order, and wait for your food to be delivered to your home. This is how many young people eat in China these days. According to the latest report from the China Internet Network Information Center, 421 million Chinese people use online food delivery services. That's equal to half of the total number of Internet users in China. Which group of people is ordering food online the most? For sure, it is mainly young people. A recent report that was published by the China Hospitality Association and Meituan, a food delivery service, showed that 86.3 percent of the service’s users are between 20 and 34 years old. These people are the main force driving the development of the food delivery industry. Small families rely largely on food delivery services. According to the National Bureau Statistics, Chinese families have changed in size over the past ten years. In 2002, only 7.7 percent of families had only one person. But this number increased to 15.6 percent in 2017. The percentage of two-person families rose from 18.4 in 2002 to 27.2 in 2017. For small families, cooking always takes a lot of time and energy, so ordering food online has become more popular. The improvement of China's food delivery services has also made more customers interested. According to Meituan’s report, the average time it takes to make a food delivery dropped from 38 minutes in 2016 to 29 minutes in 2020. Many delivery platforms are also offering more services, delivering products such as fruit, vegetables, medicine and even flowers. As their services continue to improve, it’s certain that the food delivery industry will keep growing in the future. 46. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A.

The Future of China’s Internet Users D Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders. Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same “fight-or-flight” reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict (“fight”), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (“flight”). However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend”. That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (“tend”), and by looking for social contact and support from others — especially other females (“befriend”). Scientists have known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones (激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr. Shelley E. Taylor, explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious”. While men also secrete (分泌) oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones. In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost. The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs. The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory (调节的) system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men. 51. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress, men are more likely than women to ______. A. turn to friends for help B. solve a conflict calmly C. find an escape from reality D. seek comfort from children 52. Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage? A. Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do. B. Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women. C. Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin. D.

In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does. C. Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress. D. The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings. 54. The underlined words in the Paragraph 5 may mean ______. A. managing B. enduring C. claiming D. ignoring 55. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. How men and women get over stress B. How men and women suffer from stress C. How researchers overcome stress problems D.

Grandparents’ Day and the weeks just before it are the time when children all over the country start thinking about what to get their Grandmothers and Grandfathers as presents for Grandparents’ Day. Of course, giving presents is just one way of celebrating Grandparents’ Day, but how to give gifts requires planning. Choosing presents for Grandparents’ Day can be a very difficult task. Because Grandparents’ Day and holidays of its kind are meant to honor some of the most important people in our lives, the task of choosing presents that will be appropriate can be challenging. You don’t know what they like and what can show how much you love and care for them. Especially for those children who do not have much money, finding the suitable Grandparents’ Day present at the right price is a very difficult task. One solution to the difficulty is not to buy anything at all. Rather than buying a material item that is almost sure to be short of expressing the depth and sincerity (诚心诚意) of your feelings for your Grandmother or Grandfather, consider another kind of choice entirely. One way that you can show a Grandparent that you really care is to make them something. A handmade card or flower or a written poem can go a long way towards expressing your love on Grandparents’ Day. Of course, there are also a lot more other ways to celebrate Grandparents’ Day than by just giving presents to your parents. 56.
