Major cities in China and abroad have introduced many measures to promote the night-time economy.For instance,Beijing and Shanghai have issued several policies,and cities such as Hangzhou and Nanjing have introduced various activities to boost night-time consumption. Now that the consumer market is firmly on the recovery path in China,the night-time 第2页共10页 economy can meet people's social and recreational needs and increase domestic demand.As the situation normalizes in China,the night-time economy can help increase market supply, promote the integrated development of business,travel,culture,sports and other service industries.The night-time economy fits well with the post-industrial urbanization trend and enhances a city's charm while facilitating the flow of goods,capital and information. To ensure the sustainable development of the night-time economy,the government and enterprises have to make joint efforts to optimize the consumption environment and use innovative means to increase consumption.First,to meet the diversified consumption needs, services such as catering and shopping should go along with night life.Second,night-time economy brands should be developed by learning from the experience of cities around the world. Third,the authority could consider extending the opening hours of museums,libraries and concert halls to draw more visitors for the development of the night-time economy.And fourth, it is important that consumers exhibit civilized behavior,and the authority promotes a simple, moderate,green and low-carbon lifestyle in order to ensure the sustainable development of the night-time economy. 21.Which is one of the reasons for the rise of the night-time economy? A.Working hours are extended. B.People need to relieve stress. C.Government policies favor it. D.Summer offers more recreational options. 22.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Positive impacts of the night-time economy. B.Opportunities brought by the night-time economy. C.Views on the rapid growth of the night-time economy. D.Reasons for the development of the night-time economy. 23.What does "optimize"most likely mean in paragraph 4? A.Maintain. B.Purify. C.Simplify D.Enhance. 24.How should the government sustain the night-time economy? A.Promote our night-time business globally B.Lower museum ticket prices at night. C.Consider people's nightlife needs. D.Ensure sellers operate in a low-carbon manner. B Why do life's challenges make some people stronger and others weaker?The answer may lie in how our minds and genes interact.A new research project is now investigating the cognitive and genetic mechanisms that cause some people to flourish and others to struggle. Until now,research into cognitive biases and genetics has been entirely separate,so bringing them together in this research is really exciting.Previous research clearly tells us that certain sets of genes may lead people to develop anxiety or depression when they experience negative life events.But the new research finds that,in certain situations,those genes can also 第3页共10页 be a real benefit to people when they're in supportive environments.If a child with so-called risky genes is in a good school and has much support,he or she can really flourish.We're beginning to realize that we shouldn't call them risky genes,but sensitivity genes.This means that some people at risk of mental health problems could,in the right conditions,be really happy. The other side of the research looks at cognitive biases.People always say:"Why is the media full of negative news stories?"This negativity can result in a society where people feel very anxious all the time.All of our brains are naturally tuned into negativity for evolutionary reasons-it's more important to spot a predator(than food-but this is especially true for anxious or depressed people.They are even more sensitive to the effects of negative information, making it more likely that they will adopt a pessimistic habit of mind.Crucially,these same people who are more affected by negativity are also more likely to be responsive to positive situations and,potentially,to psychological interventions. Right now,the researchers are on a five-year project and only halfway through.One of the exciting things is the possibility of developing much more personalized treatment options for psychological disorders.Once we know this,we will be in a better position to tailor treatments for individuals,rather than applying the one-size-fits-all approach used now. 25.What's the focus of the new research? A.Attitudes to different life choices. B.Responsive mechanisms to challenges. C.The influence of negative experiences. D.The relationship between environment and genes. 26.How do the researchers arrive at the realization about"risky genes"? A.By clarifying an assumption. B.By adjusting research procedures. C.By comparing different situations. D.By analyzing effects of different genes. 27.What makes people sensitive to negativity according to paragraph 3? A.Built-in survival mode. B.Pressure from modern life C.Exposure to negative reports. D.Drive for food resources. 28.Who might benefit more from the research? A.People with genetic disorders. B.People having high-risk lifestyles. C.People with mental health condition. D.People unwilling to accept challenges. 0 Nearly half of all known animals are parasites().One study suggests that a tenth of them might disappear forever because of climate change,loss of their hosts,and deliberate attempts to kill them all.Though it seems few people care-or even notice. Actually,if you don't think about how "disgusting"they might look,you may find parasites'way of living strangely charming.They've evolved smart means of survival from becoming a fish's tongue to controlling the minds of ants. 第4页共10页 While the death of parasites might seem like no big deal,the potential consequences of parasite extinction extend far beyond what most people realize.Ecologists caution that wiping them out could end up destroying the planet.Medically,certain species are still employed for surgeries.Ecologically,parasites help control animal populations by keeping some species from growing too large.They also help feed predators in an interesting way.Many parasites have learned to change their host's behavior,making infected animals more likely to be caught and eaten by predators.When this happens,the parasite moves to its next host,and the predator gets food. Even human health wouldn't necessarily benefit from wiping out parasites.The human immune system evolved alongside a group of parasites,and if we were to kill them off,our immune systems would then begin attacking ourselves. If anyone would want to get rid of all parasites,you'd think it would be Bobbi Pritt.As medical director for the Mayo Clinic's human parasitology lab,Pritt identifies harmful parasites found all over the country and in every body part.Yet even Pritt has a soft spot for parasites.As a physician,she favors wiping out parasites that cause disease and suffering."But as a biologist," she says,"purposefully trying to make something extinct just doesn't feel right to me." Ultimately,we do not want a war against all of them,because there's still so much we don't understand. 29.What may people find"charming"about parasites? A.Their clever adaptations. B.Their strange actions C.Their attractive appearances. D.Their harmless characteristics 30.What ecological role do parasites play? A.Protecting infected animals. B.Limiting predators'growth. C.Boosting immune system. D.Balancing host numbers. 31.Why is Bobbi Pritt mentioned in Paragraph 5? A.To show scientific progress. B.To raise ethical concerns. C.To reveal institutional conflicts D.To emphasize clinical responsibilities. 32.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A.The War Against Parasites. B.What If We Spare All Parasites? C.Removing Parasites?Think Twice. D.How Parasites Evolved Wisely? 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。 Trees play a crucial role in urban areas by providing shade and helping to purify the air. 33Therefore,we can say a city with trees is a much more livable place. Many cities do not have enough greenery and the trees that are there are competing for space with underground utilities(公用事业)and paved streets.__34__That's because construction projects require dense compaction (of the soil,which does not give tree roots 第5页共10页 a chance to grow.However,an Israeli start-up based in Ramat Gan is aiming to change this with a system that allows trees to grow in urban areas. TreeTube,founded in 2019,has developed a unique patented system that supports tree growth.This takes into account the needs of utility companies as well as trees."You need to have a space for electricity,gas,water,and so on,"TreeTube co-founder Jonathan Antebi said. “35” Urban trees often damage the man-made environment to give their roots room to grow.As a result,more than 30 percent of trees in cities will stop growing within three to five years,and many die within ten years.36 This TreeTube system allows trees to grow with their roots firmly underground.The tubes can be placed in any place where the pavement has been removed for repairs or upgrades. 37 More than 1,000 new trees have been planted and are growing thanks to TreeTube.The tubes have been used in Israel,the Netherlands,and Estonia.TreeTube can play a large role in helping to fight global warming,one tree at a time. A.Sadly,the trees are disappearing. B.There also needs to be a place for trees. C.Planting more trees can slow down global warming. D.Some cities don't need to build underground utilities. E.That's why the start-up developed a root structure system. F.Once the tubes are in place,it's easy and efficient to plant trees. G.In fact,trees can help cool a city and reduce the need for air-conditioning. 第三部分·语言运用（共三节，满分375分) 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was 14,I met Mrs.Korthaus,a warm English teacher,who gave me the best 38 in my life.

Within seconds,the rapids had lifted the little white car into the river.It happened so quickly that they were too shocked to scream.Finally,the car caught an object in the middle of the river. Muddy flood water was pouring into the car and rising quickly.Jane knew they had to get out quickly before the water rose too high in the car.Forcing the door open,Charlie jumped into the flood from the back row.Meanwhile,Jane grabbed the front door handle and tried to open it but in vain."Try it again!"her husband shouted anxiously.
