Here are some top travel apps for you to use. Yelp When you are in a new location and need a quick recommendation, Yelp comes in handy. It gives insights into the quality of businesses and services, from restaurants to the way in which they work, based on user reviews. The users can certainly make unfair judgments for personal reasons at times, but Yelp often at least lets you get a sense of what to expect. Zomato In China, there is a good chance you have never heard of Zomato. In some countries, however, it is more popular than Yelp, and it covers the same ground. Zomato is a remarkable crowd-sourced review website, mostly for restaurants. In some regions, you can order food delivery through Zomato, too. Happy Cow If you are a person who doesn’t eat meat or fish, or even doesn’t use animal products such as meat, milk or eggs or if you are only looking for a healthy meal option after eating not-so-healthy meals for several days in a row, you are sure to appreciate Happy Cow. The app and website help you find restaurants, cafes, health food stores, and other places to get a meat-free meal. Tripadvisor You can read different reviews of hotels, restaurants and even activities, written by members of the Tripadvisor community, as well as see photos they have uploaded so you know what to expect before you arrive. TripAdvisor has relationships with various booking sites, too, which means once you finish researching hotels or restaurants, you can usually reserve them with just a few extra clicks. 21. What do Yelp and Zomato have in common? A. They provide delivery services quickly. B. They expect users to promote their services. C. They only recommend hotels and restaurants. D. They base their recommendations on user reviews. 22. Which app suits the person who doesn’t eat meat? A. Yelp. B. Happy Cow. C. Tripadvisor. D. Zomato. 23. What sets Tripadvisor apart from other travel apps? A. It is offered free of charge. B. It is linked to booking platforms. C. It recommends nearby attractions. D. It gives correct hotel rating information. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了几款在外出旅行时非常实用的手机应用程序及其各自的特点。 【21题详解】 Yelp部分中的“It gives insights into the quality of businesses and services…based on user reviews.”以及Zomato部分中的“Zomato is a remarkable crowd-sourced review website…”表明，Yelp的推荐基于用户评论，而Zomato也是一个众包评论网站（即依赖大众用户的评论），因此两者的共同点是它们的推荐都基于用户评论。 【22题详解】 Happy Cow部分中的“If you are a person who doesn’t eat meat or fish…you are sure to appreciate Happy Cow.”指出如果你是一个不吃肉或鱼的人，你一定会喜欢Happy Cow这款应用。 【23题详解】 Tripadvisor部分中的“Tripadvisor has relationships with various booking sites, too, which means…you can usually reserve them with just a few extra clicks.”指出Tripadvisor与各种预订网站有合作关系，这意味着用户在研究完酒店或餐厅后可以直接进行预订，这是它的一大特色。 B Although growing up in a poor family in post-war 1950s, Gloria Stewart remembers her poor but kindhearted parents always had an extra setting at their table, especially at Christmas. The warmth of her mum and dad’s welcome for poor guests at the coldest time of the year inspired the 69-year-old grandmother to spread her own seasonal joy. “Mum and dad hadn’t even got a penny,” recalls Gloria. “But it didn’t matter. They’d never turn down any homeless one who knocked on the door.” “When I became a mum, I tried to make the festive season as special as possible. However, I once met an old lady who was spending Christmas alone in bed. It broke my heart.” In December 2007, Gloria hosted the first Home Alone lunch after advertising to the public and receiving donations. It took a special person with a big heart and an even bigger table to invite 87 lonely old people for Christmas. Her Home Alone event has lasted up to now. Every Christmas, Gloria wears her most sparkly dress to serve the traditional roast to every table of her smiling, grateful guests, making time to speak to as many of them as possible. After her first lunch, Gloria was nicknamed Mrs. Christmas. And now she has written a book about her extraordinary life helping bring joy to the elderly who would normally spend Christmas alone. She wrote in her book, “When I was a child, I had few friends and I was laughed at for being so poor. So I was determined no one else should bear the loneliness and hardship I had suffered.” Having battled cancer three times, Gloria became even more determined to make sure Christmas was not clouded by sadness. Now the Home Alone event has grown to serving turkey lunch to over 500 happy guests. The kind lady received an award from Sheffield City Council for her efforts and was praised by former Prime Minister David Cameron. But for Gloria, the real prize comes as she watches the smiles light up the faces of her lunch guests. She says, “There really is no greater reward. Just for a few hours they escape their loneliness and are surrounded by love.” 24. The first two paragraphs intend to tell us ________. A. that Gloria was inspired by her parents’ kind act B. how Gloria’s parents celebrated Christmas C. what memories Gloria had about her parents D. why Gloria had a suffering childhood 25. What made Gloria so determined? A. Her desire for success. B. Her tough life experiences. C. Her parents’ will. D. Her friends’ encouragement. 26. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. A Home Alone Event B. A Shared Christmas Dinner C. A Special Memory of Christmas D. A Big-hearted Grandmother 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了格洛丽亚·斯图尔特受父母善举的启发以及自身坎坷经历的影响，长期坚持在圣诞节为孤独老人举办午餐会并传播温暖的故事。 【24题详解】 根据第二段中“The warmth of her mum and dad’s welcome…inspired the 69-year-old grandmother to spread her own seasonal joy.”可知，前两段通过描述格洛丽亚父母在贫困中依然欢迎穷苦客人的行为，旨在告诉我们格洛丽亚受到了父母善举的启发。 【25题详解】 根据第六段中“…I was laughed at for being so poor. So I was determined no one else should bear the loneliness and hardship I had suffered.”以及“Having battled cancer three times, Gloria became even more determined…”可知，格洛丽亚童年因贫穷受到的嘲笑和苦难，以及后来三次患癌的打击，让她更加坚定地去帮助他人。这些都属于她艰难的生活经历。 【26题详解】 通读全文可知，文章核心围绕着格洛丽亚这位充满爱心的祖母展开，详细叙述了她举办“独处在家”午餐会的初衷、过程以及她无私奉献的精神。选项D“一位大爱无私的祖母”高度概括了文章的主题人物及其核心品质。 C Do the endless stream of messages and the thought of replying to unopened texts give you anxiety? Can the group chat feel so overwhelming that you want to throw your phone out of the window? Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think. In the last 25 years, texting has changed the way we communicate greatly. And many would argue, not for the better. The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, not everyone will be understanding. Leah Aguirre, a psychotherapist explains that text conversations are usually a source of anxiety as they come with a lot of uncertainty. “We can’t predict how someone will respond, if they will respond, or how quickly they will respond. We can’t control other people’s actions or behavior or how they think and interpret (解读) things, and for people that are already prone to anxiety this can be hard to cope with.” Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. You also may feel a little more on edge or short with others, compulsively check your phone or have obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the text conversation. Simply hearing a notification (通知), if our phone is out of reach, causes the brain chemicals associated with stress to spike. As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. A 2018 study found that romantic partnerships and friendships are far more successful when you and the other person have a similar texting style. If both parties are quick responders, the relationship is less likely to hit the rocks. Similarly, if all parties are happy to go hours, days, even weeks between responses, then everyone is happy. Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles. Aguirre suggests limiting the amount of time you are on your phone also helps with the anxiety. “By cancelling or reducing how much contact you have with the source of anxiety, you’ll feel some relief,” she says. “You can give yourself a pep talk, tell yourself that you are okay and that you have no control over another person’s response or behavior. Remind yourself that this is just a phone or a text message and that, big picture, you are okay and will be okay.” 27. The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to____________. A. analyze the cause of troubled relationships B. stress the importance of communication C. demonstrate the level of texting anxiety D. introduce the increasing use of cell phones 28. What does the underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Frightened. B. Interested. C. Excited. D. Nervous. 29. What can we infer from the passage? A. Creating a texting plan with others helps reduce text anxiety. B. Putting phones on “silence” mode increases anxiety. C. We should ask our partners to change their texting styles. D. Texting anxiety is often caused by the time taken to answer the texts. 30. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A texting schedule: The final way out. B. Text conversations: Strengths and weaknesses. C. Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions. D. A new perspective: How much texting is too much. 【答案】27. C 28. D 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要说明了手机带来的信息焦虑的危害及如何缓解这种焦虑。 【27题详解】 根据第二段中的“The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends.”可知，人们对手机的依赖程度越来越高，导致更大程度的焦虑，并选择开始无视手机信息。由此推知，第二段的目的是为了更具体的说明手机信息焦虑的程度。 【28题详解】 根据划线词组上文“Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate.”说明这种焦虑会导致紧张的情绪。由此推知，划线词组on edge是“紧张的”意思，对应D项。 【29题详解】 根据倒数第二段中的“Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles.”可知，制定一个消息时间表有助于减轻压力。 【30题详解】 根据第四段第一句“Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. ”及第五段第一句“As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones.”可知，信息焦虑有很多弊端；最后两段中的“Establishing a texting schedule”，“limiting the amount of time(限制时间)”和“You can give yourself a pep talk”等则给出了具体的解决方法。由此可知，本篇主要说明的是信息焦虑带来的问题及解决办法。Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions适合作本文最佳标题。 D Have you ever bought a new car and started noticing the exact color and model of car everywhere? Has that type of car just become popular in your city? Were they there before? Or are you just going crazy? You’re not going crazy. The reason you are now just noticing them is what psychologists call “priming”. Basically, the cars were always there. You just didn’t recognize them consciously (有意识地). However, when that certain model of car becomes part of your conscious thinking, you start “automatically” recognizing all of the other cars that are the same, because you are already “primed” to do so. The priming effect takes many forms. In one study, students were asked to walk around a room for 5 minutes at a rate of 30 steps per minute, which was about one-third their normal pace (步速). After this brief experience, the participants were much quicker to recognize words related to old age, such as forgetful, old, and lonely. Reciprocal priming effects tend to produce a coherent reaction: if you are primed to think of old age, you would tend to act old, and acting old would strengthen the thought of old age. This research shows that the way we think influences the way we act, and the way we act influences the way we think. A similar conclusion was reached by the American psychologist William James a century ago, but he emphasized (强调) the effect on feeling. “Actions seem to follow feeling, but really actions and feeling go together; and by regulating (管理) the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not. Thus the path to cheerfulness, should our cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there.” So, that’s it. If you want to be happy, just sit up and act happy. Based on these scientific findings, we can take certain priming effects to help make ourselves continuously happier. One thing we have in common is our ability to think, and thus feel. Pleasant thoughts have been proven to produce the chemicals that make us feel happy, particularly thoughts and feelings of gratitude. When we purposefully (有目的地) go through and think about the things we’re grateful for and purposely feel as much gratitude as we can, we are flooding our mind with the “happy chemicals”. Furthermore, by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, we will be “primed” to recognize the things in our life to appreciate. Each time this happens, the “happy chemicals” will be produced. Do this every day and we will become continuously happier. This makes up for the short-term happiness we get from eating chocolate or buying new clothes. More than that, combining thoughts of gratitude with happy acts like smiling and laughing will have a supplementary (补偿性地) positive effect on our state of mind. 31. Which of the following is an example of the priming effect? A. Walking much faster after attending a lecture about old age. B. Giving money to the poor after seeing pictures of cute cats. C. Learning about different types of cars after buying the first car. D. Completing SO P as SOUP rather than SOAP after seeing the word EAT. 32. What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Related. B. Two-way. C. Well-rounded. D. Opposite. 33. What will the author probably agree with? A. Eating or shopping leads to continuous feelings of happiness. B. Our will has greater control over emotions than over actions. C. Happy chemicals make us think about the things we’re grateful for. D. Practicing gratitude frequently prepares us for long-term happiness. 34. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Prime Yourself to Be Happier B. Share Happiness to Enhance Wellbeing C. Why Gratitude Is Important in Psychology D. How Happy Chemicals Affect People’s Thoughts 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. D 34. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了心理学中的“启动效应”，通过有意识地思考、感受和表达感恩，我们能让自己更快乐。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“when that certain model of car becomes part of your conscious thinking, you start ‘automatically’ recognizing all of the other cars that are the same, because you are already ‘primed’ to do so”可知，启动效应指的是当某个事物成为有意识思维的一部分时，你会自动识别与之相关的其他事物。选项D“看到‘EAT’一词后，将‘SO P’填写成‘SOUP’而非‘SOAP’ ”是因为“EAT”引发了对食物相关事物的联想，影响了认知，符合启动效应。故选D。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“if you are primed to think of old age, you would tend to act old, and acting old would strengthen the thought of old age”可知，思维和行为相互影响，是双向的。Two-way意为“双向的”。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, we will be ‘primed’ to recognize the things in our life to appreciate. Each time this happens, the ‘happy chemicals’ will be produced. Do this every day and we will become continuously happier”可知，通过有意识地思考、感受和表达感恩，我们不仅能在当下更快乐，还会被“启动”，从而发现生活中值得感激的事物，每当这种情况发生时，就会产生“快乐化学物质”，每天都这样做，我们会越来越快乐。选项D“经常练习感恩能带来长期的幸福”与之相符。故选D。 【34题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了心理学中的“启动效应”，通过有意识地思考、感受和表达感恩，我们能让自己更快乐。选项A“启动自我，让自己更快乐”与之相符。故选A。 第二节 七选五(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，共 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Forget privacy, young internet users want to be tracked On every smartphone there sits a tracker’s paradise (乐园) of location data ready to be shared. ____35____ And this tech is marketed as convenient, not frightening. What is an acceptable level of online surveillance (监视)? I had assumed we all agreed that the ideal was none. ____36____ A quick enquiry on my friends found that those who were, like me, in their 40s and older either had no idea they could use their phone in this way or had relatively little interest in doing so. But friends a decade or so younger all seem to be tracking one another at will. They don’t find the idea of monitoring or being monitored in this way upsetting. They say it makes them feel safer. ____37____ It is just that they are realistic about the privacy that is available. They know that if you own a smartphone and don’t want to disable useful things like maps, then your location is already being watched. If app creators, smartphone makers and ad companies are already tracking your location, then why not share the information with people you know? If you want to start tracking the people you know, then there are some rules involved. It’s fine to use tracking to check that a friend has got home safely at the end of a night out, for example, but not to surprise them on the street. And think carefully about whom you share data with. ____38____ Location tracking as a safety measure, particularly for elderly parents and children, is appealing. ____39____ Once you grow comfortable sharing your location with your family and friends, perhaps one day you’ll be happy to share it with your employer or even government agencies. A. It is for family and close friends only, not new dates. B. But the truth is how popular it is depends on your age. C. Location sharing has been around for more than a decade. D. The risk is that if you do it too often, it will be hard to turn around. E. After all, no one will find it comfortable to be watched all the time. F. This is not because they are blind to the importance of online privacy. G. Smartphones today have much larger storage space for location data. 【答案】35. C 36. B 37. F 38. A 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了年轻人相比年长者更愿意与家人和朋友分享手机位置数据这一现象，分析了其背后的原因，并指出了相关的规则与潜在风险。 【35题详解】 根据上文“On every smartphone there sits a tracker’s paradise of location data ready to be shared.”引出手机位置数据分享这一话题，以及空后连词“And”与下文“this tech is marketed as convenient…”构成的顺承逻辑可知，此处应继续围绕该技术的背景进行客观介绍。选项C“Location sharing has been around for more than a decade.”符合语境，补充了技术的发展背景，且与下文自然递进。 【36题详解】 根据上文“I had assumed we all agreed that the ideal was none.”指出作者原以为大家都希望完全没有网络监视，而下文“A quick enquiry on my friends found that those who were, like me, in their 40s and older…But friends a decade or so younger all seem to be tracking one another at will.”通过调查对比了40多岁的人和年轻人在位置跟踪上的不同态度。选项B“But the truth is how popular it is depends on your age.”恰好起到了承上启下及转折的作用，引出下文关于年龄差异的描述。 【37题详解】 根据下文“It is just that they are realistic about the privacy that is available.”可知，下文解释了年轻人这样做的真正原因是因为他们对现有的隐私状况很现实。选项F“This is not because they are blind to the importance of online privacy.”与下文形成“不是因为……只是因为……”的逻辑呼应，解释了年轻人的真实想法。 【38题详解】 根据上文“And think carefully about whom you share data with.”可知，此处强调在分享数据时要仔细考虑分享的对象是谁。选项A“It is for family and close friends only, not new dates.”紧承上文，具体举例说明了应该与谁分享、不该与谁分享。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Location tracking as a safety measure…is appealing.”指出位置跟踪作为一种安全措施很有吸引力，而下文“Once you grow comfortable sharing your location…perhaps one day you’ll be happy to share it with your employer or even government agencies.”暗示了这种习惯一旦养成，可能会不可控地扩大到雇主或政府机构。选项D“The risk is that if you do it too often, it will be hard to turn around.”指出了这种行为逐渐常态化所带来的潜在风险，在上下文中起到了极好的过渡作用。 第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节 阅读表达(共4小题;40-41题每小题2分，42小题3分，43小题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 How do our food choices affect the environment? Producing the foods we eat has massive environmental impacts: it requires vast tracts of land and huge quantities of water. In addition to using land and water, food production results in greenhouse gas emissions—from the fossil fuels burned to run tractors and harvesters, for example, and from the gases released when cow manure decomposes (粪便分解) and from when cows burp and fart (打嗝和放屁). These emissions add up: scientists estimate that food production around the world contributes up to 30% of all the greenhouse gases people release to the atmosphere each year. Raising cows and sheep for meat has an especially large environmental footprint with regards to land use, water use, and greenhouse gas emissions. Because of this, we wanted to find out: Would changing people’s diets have a significant environmental effect? And if so, which diets are likely to be healthiest for ourselves and for the planet? We identified 14 diets that scientists have proposed as being more environmentally sustainable: these included vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian (鱼素者，吃鱼不吃肉的半素食主义者), and replacing red meat with pork and chicken, to name a few. Overall, our review found that reducing meat intake generally resulted in less greenhouse gas emissions, less land use, and less water use. The environmental impact from switching to alternative diets varied greatly across the studies—some found changes of 70% less greenhouse gas emissions and land use, while others found only slight reductions or even increases. The more sustainable diets were generally considered slightly healthier due to increased vegetable and fruit and reduced red and processed meat consumption. Being conscious about both the environmental impacts and the healthiness of the foods we eat is an important start. For most of us, following healthy guidelines for a balanced diet would go a long way to improving health and environmental sustainability. 40. What impacts does food production have on the environment? ___________________________________________________________________________ 41. In terms of our daily diet, what can we do to reduce environmental impacts? ___________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Diets like vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian and the like are considered more environmentally sustainable and healthier due to the absence of red meat. ___________________________________________________________________________ 43. Apart from what has been mentioned in the passage, what can we do to make our life more eco-friendly? (In about 40 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Using land and water and resulting in greenhouse gas emissions./ Food production uses land and water and results in greenhouse emission. 41. Reducing meat intake./We can reduce meat intake. / Reducing meat intake is what we can do. 42. Diets like vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and the like are considered more environmentally sustainable and healthier due to the absence of red meat.  The more sustainable diets are due to increased vegetable and fruit and reduced red and processed meat consumption. 43. We should have energy-saving awareness and do something that we can, for instance using the bus rather than the car when you go out, reusing the things that can be recycled, reducing the use of plastic bags and so on. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了食品生产对环境的影响，并分析了减少肉类摄入、增加蔬果摄入对环境可持续发展和身体健康的积极作用。 【40题详解】 根据第一段中“it requires vast tracts of land and huge quantities of water…food production results in greenhouse gas emissions…”可知，粮食生产会消耗大量的土地和水资源，并产生温室气体排放。 【41题详解】 根据第四段中“Overall, our review found that reducing meat intake generally resulted in less greenhouse gas emissions…”可知，在日常饮食中，我们可以通过减少肉类摄入来降低对环境的影响。 【42题详解】 划线部分：due to the absence of red meat。根据第五段中“The more sustainable diets were generally considered slightly healthier due to increased vegetable and fruit and reduced red and processed meat consumption.”可知，更可持续的饮食被认为更健康，是因为增加了蔬菜和水果的摄入，并且减少了红肉和加工肉类的消费，而不是因为完全没有红肉。 【43题详解】 本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一。我们可以通过增强节能意识并付诸行动来保护环境，例如：We should have energy-saving awareness and do something that we can, for instance using the bus rather than the car when you go out, reusing the things that can be recycled, reducing the use of plastic bags and so on. 第二节 应用文写作(20分) 44. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。你的英国好友 Jim发来邮件就学生借助应用程序完成作业的现象与你交流。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1.你的使用情况; 2.你的看法。 注意：1.词数100左右; 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】例文 Dear Jim, How’s everything going?

Here are some top travel apps for you to use. Yelp When you are in a new location and need a quick recommendation, Yelp comes in handy. It gives insights into the quality of businesses and services, from restaurants to the way in which they work, based on user reviews. The users can certainly make unfair judgments for personal reasons at times, but Yelp often at least lets you get a sense of what to expect. Zomato In China, there is a good chance you have never heard of Zomato. In some countries, however, it is more popular than Yelp, and it covers the same ground. Zomato is a remarkable crowd-sourced review website, mostly for restaurants. In some regions, you can order food delivery through Zomato, too. Happy Cow If you are a person who doesn’t eat meat or fish, or even doesn’t use animal products such as meat, milk or eggs or if you are only looking for a healthy meal option after eating not-so-healthy meals for several days in a row, you are sure to appreciate Happy Cow. The app and website help you find restaurants, cafes, health food stores, and other places to get a meat-free meal. Tripadvisor You can read different reviews of hotels, restaurants and even activities, written by members of the Tripadvisor community, as well as see photos they have uploaded so you know what to expect before you arrive. TripAdvisor has relationships with various booking sites, too, which means once you finish researching hotels or restaurants, you can usually reserve them with just a few extra clicks. 21. What do Yelp and Zomato have in common? A. They provide delivery services quickly. B. They expect users to promote their services. C. They only recommend hotels and restaurants. D. They base their recommendations on user reviews. 22. Which app suits the person who doesn’t eat meat? A. Yelp. B. Happy Cow. C. Tripadvisor. D. Zomato. 23. What sets Tripadvisor apart from other travel apps? A. It is offered free of charge. B. It is linked to booking platforms. C. It recommends nearby attractions. D. It gives correct hotel rating information. B Although growing up in a poor family in post-war 1950s, Gloria Stewart remembers her poor but kindhearted parents always had an extra setting at their table, especially at Christmas. The warmth of her mum and dad’s welcome for poor guests at the coldest time of the year inspired the 69-year-old grandmother to spread her own seasonal joy. “Mum and dad hadn’t even got a penny,” recalls Gloria. “But it didn’t matter. They’d never turn down any homeless one who knocked on the door.” “When I became a mum, I tried to make the festive season as special as possible. However, I once met an old lady who was spending Christmas alone in bed. It broke my heart.” In December 2007, Gloria hosted the first Home Alone lunch after advertising to the public and receiving donations. It took a special person with a big heart and an even bigger table to invite 87 lonely old people for Christmas. Her Home Alone event has lasted up to now. Every Christmas, Gloria wears her most sparkly dress to serve the traditional roast to every table of her smiling, grateful guests, making time to speak to as many of them as possible. After her first lunch, Gloria was nicknamed Mrs. Christmas. And now she has written a book about her extraordinary life helping bring joy to the elderly who would normally spend Christmas alone. She wrote in her book, “When I was a child, I had few friends and I was laughed at for being so poor. So I was determined no one else should bear the loneliness and hardship I had suffered.” Having battled cancer three times, Gloria became even more determined to make sure Christmas was not clouded by sadness. Now the Home Alone event has grown to serving turkey lunch to over 500 happy guests. The kind lady received an award from Sheffield City Council for her efforts and was praised by former Prime Minister David Cameron. But for Gloria, the real prize comes as she watches the smiles light up the faces of her lunch guests. She says, “There really is no greater reward. Just for a few hours they escape their loneliness and are surrounded by love.” 24. The first two paragraphs intend to tell us ________. A. that Gloria was inspired by her parents’ kind act B. how Gloria’s parents celebrated Christmas C. what memories Gloria had about her parents D. why Gloria had a suffering childhood 25. What made Gloria so determined? A. Her desire for success. B. Her tough life experiences. C. Her parents’ will. D. Her friends’ encouragement. 26. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. A Home Alone Event B. A Shared Christmas Dinner C. A Special Memory of Christmas D. A Big-hearted Grandmother C Do the endless stream of messages and the thought of replying to unopened texts give you anxiety? Can the group chat feel so overwhelming that you want to throw your phone out of the window? Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think. In the last 25 years, texting has changed the way we communicate greatly. And many would argue, not for the better. The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, not everyone will be understanding. Leah Aguirre, a psychotherapist explains that text conversations are usually a source of anxiety as they come with a lot of uncertainty. “We can’t predict how someone will respond, if they will respond, or how quickly they will respond. We can’t control other people’s actions or behavior or how they think and interpret (解读) things, and for people that are already prone to anxiety this can be hard to cope with.” Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. You also may feel a little more on edge or short with others, compulsively check your phone or have obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the text conversation. Simply hearing a notification (通知), if our phone is out of reach, causes the brain chemicals associated with stress to spike. As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. A 2018 study found that romantic partnerships and friendships are far more successful when you and the other person have a similar texting style. If both parties are quick responders, the relationship is less likely to hit the rocks. Similarly, if all parties are happy to go hours, days, even weeks between responses, then everyone is happy. Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles. Aguirre suggests limiting the amount of time you are on your phone also helps with the anxiety. “By cancelling or reducing how much contact you have with the source of anxiety, you’ll feel some relief,” she says. “You can give yourself a pep talk, tell yourself that you are okay and that you have no control over another person’s response or behavior. Remind yourself that this is just a phone or a text message and that, big picture, you are okay and will be okay.” 27. The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to____________. A. analyze the cause of troubled relationships B. stress the importance of communication C. demonstrate the level of texting anxiety D. introduce the increasing use of cell phones 28. What does the underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Frightened. B. Interested. C. Excited. D. Nervous. 29. What can we infer from the passage? A. Creating a texting plan with others helps reduce text anxiety. B. Putting phones on “silence” mode increases anxiety. C. We should ask our partners to change their texting styles. D. Texting anxiety is often caused by the time taken to answer the texts. 30. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A texting schedule: The final way out. B. Text conversations: Strengths and weaknesses. C. Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions. D. A new perspective: How much texting is too much. D Have you ever bought a new car and started noticing the exact color and model of car everywhere? Has that type of car just become popular in your city? Were they there before? Or are you just going crazy? You’re not going crazy. The reason you are now just noticing them is what psychologists call “priming”. Basically, the cars were always there. You just didn’t recognize them consciously (有意识地). However, when that certain model of car becomes part of your conscious thinking, you start “automatically” recognizing all of the other cars that are the same, because you are already “primed” to do so. The priming effect takes many forms. In one study, students were asked to walk around a room for 5 minutes at a rate of 30 steps per minute, which was about one-third their normal pace (步速). After this brief experience, the participants were much quicker to recognize words related to old age, such as forgetful, old, and lonely. Reciprocal priming effects tend to produce a coherent reaction: if you are primed to think of old age, you would tend to act old, and acting old would strengthen the thought of old age. This research shows that the way we think influences the way we act, and the way we act influences the way we think. A similar conclusion was reached by the American psychologist William James a century ago, but he emphasized (强调) the effect on feeling. “Actions seem to follow feeling, but really actions and feeling go together; and by regulating (管理) the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not. Thus the path to cheerfulness, should our cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there.” So, that’s it. If you want to be happy, just sit up and act happy. Based on these scientific findings, we can take certain priming effects to help make ourselves continuously happier. One thing we have in common is our ability to think, and thus feel. Pleasant thoughts have been proven to produce the chemicals that make us feel happy, particularly thoughts and feelings of gratitude. When we purposefully (有目的地) go through and think about the things we’re grateful for and purposely feel as much gratitude as we can, we are flooding our mind with the “happy chemicals”. Furthermore, by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, we will be “primed” to recognize the things in our life to appreciate. Each time this happens, the “happy chemicals” will be produced. Do this every day and we will become continuously happier. This makes up for the short-term happiness we get from eating chocolate or buying new clothes. More than that, combining thoughts of gratitude with happy acts like smiling and laughing will have a supplementary (补偿性地) positive effect on our state of mind. 31. Which of the following is an example of the priming effect? A. Walking much faster after attending a lecture about old age. B. Giving money to the poor after seeing pictures of cute cats. C. Learning about different types of cars after buying the first car. D. Completing SO P as SOUP rather than SOAP after seeing the word EAT. 32. What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Related. B. Two-way. C. Well-rounded. D. Opposite. 33. What will the author probably agree with? A. Eating or shopping leads to continuous feelings of happiness. B. Our will has greater control over emotions than over actions. C. Happy chemicals make us think about the things we’re grateful for. D. Practicing gratitude frequently prepares us for long-term happiness. 34. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Prime Yourself to Be Happier B. Share Happiness to Enhance Wellbeing C. Why Gratitude Is Important in Psychology D. How Happy Chemicals Affect People’s Thoughts 第二节 七选五(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，共 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Forget privacy, young internet users want to be tracked On every smartphone there sits a tracker’s paradise (乐园) of location data ready to be shared. ____35____ And this tech is marketed as convenient, not frightening. What is an acceptable level of online surveillance (监视)? I had assumed we all agreed that the ideal was none. ____36____ A quick enquiry on my friends found that those who were, like me, in their 40s and older either had no idea they could use their phone in this way or had relatively little interest in doing so. But friends a decade or so younger all seem to be tracking one another at will. They don’t find the idea of monitoring or being monitored in this way upsetting. They say it makes them feel safer. ____37____ It is just that they are realistic about the privacy that is available. They know that if you own a smartphone and don’t want to disable useful things like maps, then your location is already being watched. If app creators, smartphone makers and ad companies are already tracking your location, then why not share the information with people you know? If you want to start tracking the people you know, then there are some rules involved. It’s fine to use tracking to check that a friend has got home safely at the end of a night out, for example, but not to surprise them on the street. And think carefully about whom you share data with. ____38____ Location tracking as a safety measure, particularly for elderly parents and children, is appealing. ____39____ Once you grow comfortable sharing your location with your family and friends, perhaps one day you’ll be happy to share it with your employer or even government agencies. A. It is for family and close friends only, not new dates. B. But the truth is how popular it is depends on your age. C. Location sharing has been around for more than a decade. D. The risk is that if you do it too often, it will be hard to turn around. E. After all, no one will find it comfortable to be watched all the time. F. This is not because they are blind to the importance of online privacy. G. Smartphones today have much larger storage space for location data. 第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节 阅读表达(共4小题;40-41题每小题2分，42小题3分，43小题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 How do our food choices affect the environment?
