At the World Cup,China played a total of eight matches,winning six of them.They entered the final of a major international competition for the first time in almost three decades,before losing to defending champions the United States to finish runners-up for the second time in history.

Although losing the game,the team was met with praise and encouragement from Chinese netizens as people have walked away from a"medal-oriented"mentality,and started to accept more the spirit of sportsmanship and "perform your best"spirit.Many Chinese netizens said they were proud of the players for trying their best and fighting until the last minute,which showed the true sportsmanship.The mental strength and quality of the Chinese women's basketball team are even more valuable than being the runner-up in the World Cup,they said.The Chinese women's basketball team is already the champion in our hearts,commented an Internet user.

There are no caregivers in sight.Instead,the residents look after one another at the self-service nursing facility,which was rebuilt from a deserted primary school in Madongchuan township.The younger ones grow vegetables in a small path of land nearby.They cook outdoors using a shared kitchen,and the food is delivered to those with mobility issues.After meals,many play chess or chat at their leisure.Local authorities also hired a retired village doctor to oversee the facility so that the residents no longer have to go to the hospital for less severe health problems such as cold and fever. "They were enjoying themselves in the moment,and leading rather independent lives,"Zhao Liwen,secretary-general of Taikang Yicai Foundation,said of her first impression about the residents during a visit in 2019.The Beijing-based charity offered help by donating 1 million yuan to the nursing home.When she arrived,the seniors,all empty-nesters who are either childless or have children working in big cities,were wrapping dumplings together. The scene was a sharp contrast from life in the area more than a decade ago.Village elders used to live lonely lives,scattered (among the remote area and unable to access hospitals and other public services.Then in 2013,a flood washed their homes away,forcing them to move into the nursing facility. The nursing home in Yan'an is one of the best examples of China's increasing efforts to take advantage of the strength of"relationship-based communities"in rural (areas to ensure fast-graying residents are cared for.Compared with a more commercial or rule-based society in cities, rural communities in China are known to operate through personal connections and mutual trust.The self-sufficient,interdependent culture displayed by the nursing home is being supported by authorities to deal with aging in the countryside. 28.What do the elderly residents do in the nursing facility?

B.Following strict regulations. C.Conducting commercial strategies. D.Promoting individual independence. 30.What is the author's attitude to the self-service nursing home? A.Objective. B.Indifferent.C.Favorable. D.Disapproving. 31.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A.Rural Revival:China's Approach to Aging Population B.Promoting traditional values:A Tale of Aging in Rural China C.Bridging Generation Gaps:The Story of Yan'an's Nursing Home 5 D.Relationship-Based Community:A Nursing Home in Rural China D Researchers have discovered that limiting a certain enzyme ()can have a dramatic impact on protecting against the effects of Alzheimer's disease(阿尔a兹海默症).The finding could lead to a new class of drugs that fight the disease. Much of the historical research into Alzheimer's disease (AD)has focused on plaques that form in the brain,which recently,though,have been found not likely to be the direct cause of it.In seeking another way forward,a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer's. With the intention of investigating how PDE4B might affect the brain,the UK team genetically modified (mice with Alzheimer's to reduce PDE4B activity.The results are astonishing. First,the mice with Alzheimer's and normal PDE4B expression showed memory loss in the sense of direction,a distinctive characteristic of AD.But those who had the genetic modification to have less PDE4B activity showed no damage at all.The team also observed that inflammation () another hallmark of AD,decreased to some extent in the brains of mice with less PDE4B activity, compared to those with more of the enzyme. Because all of these effects were found in the mice that already had Alzheimer's but had significant improvement in symptoms,the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways. "These results offer real hope for the development of new treatments that will benefit patients with Alzheimer's disease in the future,"said Neil Dawson,a co-author of the study."The next stage is to test whether PDE4B-limiting drugs have similar beneficial effects in the AD mouse model,to test their potential effectiveness in human Alzheimer's disease." 32.How did the British researchers get the inspiration? A.By figuring out the direct cause of AD. B.By going over much historical research. C.By referring to a previous Australian study. D.By breaking down PDE4B in the AD mouse. 33.What can be learnt about PDE4B? A.Its activity promotes the sense of direction. B.It might bring about the development of AD C.It is processed by a certain enzyme in the brain. D.It will be investigated to reduce mice brain activity 34.What does the underlined word"hallmark"in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Cause. B.Feature. C.Principle D.Finding. 35.What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about? A.The future research focus. 6 B.The existing research background. C.The probable research limitation. D.The practical research application 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。 Stop Comparing Yourself to Others Theodore Roosevelt once said,"Comparison is the thief of joy."But how can we stop playing the comparison game?Here are my tips. 36 Besides social media,are there any other situations that cause you to play the comparison game? Is there a certain person who is constantly showing off about this or that?Are there certain activities, like strolling (through a high-end shopping mall,that make you envious?37 Write how each negatively affects you.Try to stop yourself next time. ●Remind yourself that other people's“outsides'”can't be compared to your“insides. Usually,you can't use their outward appearance to judge the reality of their life.38 You may have had the experience of being shocked when a couple that appeared to be happy and solid announce their divorce.Continue to wish others well,of course,but remind yourself that you don't actually know what goes on behind closed doors. Repeat whenever necessary:"Money doesn't buy happiness." It's well established that wealth isn't associated with increased happiness.I used to dance flamenco at a fancy resort where very rich people go,and a manager there once told me she'd never seen so many unhappy people in her life.39 Their inability to provide lasting contentment is usually more disappointing than anything else. Be grateful for the good in your life. If you commit yourself to being deeply grateful for what's good in your life and remind yourself of it daily,you'll be far less defenseless to comparison and envy.If someone or something triggers (that ugly feeling of negative comparison,stop and remind yourself of what's good in your life, right now.40 A.There is so much. B.Identify the causes and control your envy. C.Use comparison to make yourself a better person. D.Money and things provide temporary boosts of joy. E.Make a list of who and what you frequently compare yourself to. F.Being envious of another person's money may be a waste of time. G.People carefully select and share the social media versions of their lives. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30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。 On a Saturday afternoon,my friend Jenny and I wandered in the park and arrived at the section I had always feared:roller coasters.I hoped this monster would 41 Jenny the same way and we could walk past it fast.But I was wrong.She stared at the ride,her eyes 42,and asked,"Will you go on this ride with me?"

"Wouldn't it be amazing if I could pay someone to exercise for me,and the fat would magically disappear from my body?"I said."Thus,I wouldn't have to suffer the hard work of doing it myself." My husband looked at me as if I were a nut().To me,running was the worst thing in the world.Running was for athletes or people who liked to hurt themselves.Running was for anyone but me. "Come on,Mary,"my husband said."No one can exercise for you!You must do it yourself to lose weight and be healthy!"I nodded,trying to wear the armband again and attach my phone to it.I needed the phone to listen to music to draw my attention from how much running would hurt.I also needed it so that I could hear the computer voice of my mile tracker()telling me my physical condition with every passing mile. I wasn't getting any younger.Pushing myself to the limit had never before crossed my mind. But the pounds weren't exactly disappearing though I improved my eating habits and hoped for the best.The annoying weight was slowly creeping(慢慢移动)to my legs and backside.Actually,it was creeping everywhere.As my doctor put it,"It's time to put some exercise into your schedule."My only hope for fighting against heavy weight and age would be through exercise.So here I was about to start the very thing I disliked. "If you don't hear from me in 30 minutes,come look for me.I could be lying on the side of the road...weak or dead,"I said to my husband. Without even looking at me,my husband said,"Mary,it really won't be so bad.You just have to get started.Believe me!You'll do great!" "Right,"I smiled as he continued preparing for his shift.Hesitating,I walked out alone.It was dark and cold outside. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Gathering my courage,I fired up the music and my mile tracker.
