II. Grammar and Vocabulary (每题1分，共20分) Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. When the Going Gets Rough Does change frighten you? There are many ways (21)________(handle) the little surprises life throws at us. Stuff happens. There's nothing we can do to change that. But the problem is that our bodies and brains are programmed to be suspicious of change--to be anxious about it. After all, change means uncertainty and, in our evolutionary past, that meant a greater risk of meeting up with a hungry lion or (22)________(annoy) elephant. Therefore, when you are uncertain, the brain releases stress hormones, the fight-or-flight chemicals (23)________, when we lived on the savannah, helped our ancestors avoid these hungry lions or face them down. The problem is that the uncertainties we (24)________(face) with today aren't generally as life-or-death, and don't usually resolve to a quick getaway. So we have to deal with those excess stress hormones in a different way, which is where mindfulness can really help. Here are some top tips for dealing with change so the next time something new and challenging arises, you'll know exactly what to do. Control What You Can Even in the most difficult of situations, there are some things that you can control. Make a list of these things, (25)________small they seem, and then start doing them. You will find that ticking them off the list will make the (26)________(controllable) problems appear much more manageable. Opportunity, Not Disaster Suppose you don't get the grades you need for university, or you don't get your dream job. One natural response is to think of it as a disaster and that your life is over. This will achieve nothing and make you miserable. (27)________ is to think of it as an opportunity to do something else entirely: go travelling, apply for an apprenticeship, etc. Studies have shown that people who train themselves to see change as an opportunity (28)________ a challenge cope with it far better. Time It Uncertainty, rather than change itself, is the biggest cause of stress. One way of coping with it is to work out (29)________ the uncertainty will last for. (30)________(know) when things will change for the better gives your mind an end point that allows it to cope with the uncertain present. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. accounts B. credibility C. declaring D. filtered E. pays F. particularly G. enduring H. principle I. ignoring J. reputation K. revolutionized The Serious Business of Being a Social Influencer China promised a tax-evasion punishment on social-media influencers, who are paid by brands to promote products online to their followers. Viya, known as the live-streaming queen, has already been fined $210m for not (31)________ her income. The size of that tax shows the large scale of the industry, which (32)________ for 12% of online sales in China. Outside China, influencers are also likely to have a(n) (33)________ role in e-commerce. For all firms with brands, it is time to realize that influencing is more than just a hobby. The use of personal endorsements (宣传, 代言) used to be about taking advantage of existing celebrity power. For example, Michael Jordan's deal in 1984 with Nike (34)________ both basketball and branding. Influencers turn the logic on its head: selling things helps make them more famous. Through clipped videos and (35)________ photos they offer recommendations to consumers, together with glimpses into their daily lives to increase the (36)________ Total spending on influencers by brands could reach $16bn this year. The number of wannabe influencers outside China is in the millions. However, only under 100,000 of them get most profit. Their staying power suggests that they add value in several ways. Influencers' networks reach new audiences, (37)________ younger shoppers. And influencers are skilled in a way that old-style brand ambassadors (品牌大使) never were. They can quickly adapt to and employ newer platforms like TikTok. Yet one-third of brands do not use influencers. They worry about their (38)________. Despite the risk, (39)________ influencers is a mistake. Their share of digital advertising budgets is still low at 3%, but it is rising fast. The borderline between entertainment and e-commerce is becoming unclear. The most most popular marketing strategy of the 2010s--ads targeted through Google and Facebook--is under threat as new privacy standards make it harder to spy on potential customers. To make full use of influencers, brands should set a clear strategy. They should expect more regulation on consumer protection. The guiding (40)________ should be to use only influencers who disclose to their audiences that their posts are paid. III. Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A (每题1分，共15分) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. More than half the world's population live in cities, and by 2050 the UN expects that proportion to reach 68%. This means more homes, roads and other infrastructure. Such a construction (41)________ does harm to tackling climate change, though, because making steel and concrete generates around 8% of the world's carbon-dioxide emissions. If cities are to (42)________ and become greener at the same time, they will have to be made from something else. As it happens, Chicago might become part of the (43)________. In recent years, as architects have become increasingly interested in modern timber (木材)-construction methods, wooden buildings have been getting steadily (44)________. The current record is held by the 85-metre-tall Mjostarnet building in Norway, completed in 2019. But this would be (45)________ by the River Beech Tower, a 228-metre building proposed for a site beside the Chicago river. As the AAAs meeting heard this week, wood is one of the most (46)________ sustainable alternatives to steel and concrete. It is not, however, everyday wood but a material called engineered timber, composed of different layers for specific purposes. Besides engineering the shape of a component, designers can arrange the grains (纹理) in the layers to provide levels of (47)________ that equal steel, in a product that is up to 80% lighter. Engineered timber is, (48)________, usually assembled into large sections of a building in a factory. That cuts down on the number of (49)________ that have to be made to a construction site. All this (50)________ to carbon-dioxide emissions. Michael Ramage of the University of Cambridge told the meeting of a 300-square-metre four-storey wooden building that generated 126 tonnes of CO2. Had it been made with (51)________, emissions would have risen to 310 tonnes. If steel had been used, they would have topped 498 tonnes. Indeed, from one point of view, this building might actually be viewed as “carbon (52)________”. When trees grow, they lock carbon up in their wood--in this case the equivalent of 540 tonnes of CO2, representing a long-term reduction of CO2 from the atmosphere. If building with wood takes off, it does raise concern about there being enough trees to (53)________. But with sustainably managed forests that should not be a problem, says Dr Ramage. A family-sized apartment requires about 30 cubic metres of timber, and he estimates Europe's sustainable (54)________ alone grow that amount every seven seconds. Nor is fire a risk, for engineered timber does not burn easily, because the inner cores of large (55)________ timbers are protected by a charring (炭化) layer if burnt. 41.

A. advocates B. strategies C. forests D. farmers 55. A. imposing B. visible C. universal D. structural Section B (每题2分，共22分) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When was the last time you did something that gave you a genuine sense of achievement? For me it was last week, when I hung a picture on the wall. I know, it sounds a little crazy. But it was an easy project that I'd put off for too long. As accomplishments go, this wasn't up there with achieving world peace, curing the incurable or running a marathon. Yet that feeling of genuine accomplishment is something that I fear we're beginning to lose today. Now more than ever, we live in a world of instant gratitude, aided by ever-present digital devices that only feed the desire. News headlines, sports scores and the latest gossip are all a finger-swipe away on our smartphones. In this digital parallel universe, our sense of achievement has become defined by the number of positive reactions we get from posting a cool picture or making a brief comment. Just to be clear, I don't have a problem with digital devices, apps or social media; I use them every day. Together they've helped us connect with others, solve problems and get things done in ways almost no one could have ever imagined. But the problem is: they aren't very personally fulfilling. So how do we arrive at that genuine sense of achievement, whether it's at work or our personal life? Daniel Pink, a noted author on work, management and behavioral science, has an interesting theory. When it comes to anything but the most basic tasks, we aren't very motivated by the “traditional” motivators of fear, money or rewards. Instead, the factors include autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Autonomy represents our desire to be self-directed--to do what we want to do, when and how we want to do it; mastery refers to an essential urge to better our skills and derive satisfaction from doing so; and purpose is our desire to do something that is important and has true meaning, either to ourselves or to others. By tapping into these internal motivators, even unconsciously, we can accomplish great things, like exploring new hobbies or dreams; becoming passionate about our work; and deriving satisfaction from what we do and wanting to do more. We don't need to achieve world peace or run a marathon to feel a sense of personal achievement. Anything will do--even hanging a few pictures on the wall. But it needs to start by putting our devices aside, at least for a little while. 56. According to the passage, the reason why we are beginning to lose the sense of accomplishment is that ________. A. it's easy for the masses to make a quick and positive comment B. most people fear they can hardly make any accomplishment C. people tend to express their instant and artificial gratitude through the Internet D. the digital age has influenced our definition of the sense of achievement 57. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The author is used to putting off a project for too long. B. Though not personally satisfactory, digital devices are somewhat helpful. C. The author objected to addressing issues with digital devices, apps or social media. D. Achieving world peace or curing the incurable goes beyond what we call achievement. 58. The “internal motivators” in paragraph 6 refer to ________. A. fear, money and rewards B. hobbies, dreams and passion C. autonomy, mastery and purpose D. work, management and behavioral science 59. What's the author's opinion on the sense of personal achievement? A. With digital devices, it is easy to obtain the sense of personal achievement. B. Without social media, it is impossible to obtain the sense of personal achievement. C. With Internet, personal achievement can only be obtained through great success. D. Without digital devices, the sense of personal achievement can be obtained in daily tasks. (B) Unlock the Power of Computer Programming Learning a new language opens a wealth of opportunities.

(C) “Moby-Dick” was, for me, one of those books classified of “things you should have read a long time ago.” And as I am a mathematician, despite my interest in literature, my intellectual priorities did not include a 400-page novel about whales. That all changed one day when I overheard a mathematician friend mention that “Moby-Dick” contains a reference to cycloids. Cycloids are among the most beautiful mathematical curves in existence—the French mathematician Blaise Pascal found them so distractingly fascinating that he claimed merely thinking about them could relieve the pain of a bad toothache—but applications to whaling are not usually listed on their resume. Curious, I finally read “Moby-Dick,” and was delighted to find that it is full of mathematical metaphors. I realized further it's not just Herman Melville; Leo Tolstoy writes about calculus (微积分), James Joyce about geometry. Regretfully, the connections between mathematics and literature have not received the attention they deserve. In fact, they are often considered to be against each other. I recall that at the end of my very last English class at school, in 1991, the teacher gave me a lovely handwritten note with a long list of books she thought I might like, saying, “Sorry to lose you to the lab.” The idea that one would have to choose between mathematics and literature is, I think, something of a tragedy—not only because the two fields are fundamentally linked, but also because understanding these links can enhance your enjoyment of both. The perceived boundary between math and literature is actually a very recent idea. For most of recorded history, mathematics was part of every educated person's cultural awareness. The 11th-century Persian scholar Omar Khayyam, to whom the poetry collection known as the Rubaiyat is credited, was also a mathematician, and created beautiful geometric solutions to mathematical problems. In the 14th century, Chaucer wrote both “The Canterbury Tales” and a paper on the astrolabe (星盘，用于测量天体的距离). There are countless such examples, not least that of Lewis Carroll, who, of course, was a mathematician first and an author second. There is a deeper reason we find mathematics at the heart of literature. The universe is full of underlying structure, pattern and regularity, and mathematics is the best tool we have for understanding it—that's why mathematics is often called the language of the universe, and why it is so vital to science. Since we humans are part of the universe, it is only natural that our forms of creative expression, literature among them, will also reveal a tendency for pattern and structure. 63. What inspired the author to read “Moby-Dick”? A. The topic of the book. B. His friend's recommendation. C. His long-time interest in literature. D. There being some maths in the book. 64. The author's English teacher's words are mentioned in paragraph 4 in order to ________. A. show that maths and literature are regarded as distinctive subjects B. imply that mathematics and literature haven't received proper attention C. protest against the unfair treatment he once received while young D. form a sharp contrast with the attainment he later made 65. What do Omar Khayyam, Chaucer and Lewis Carroll have in common? A. All of them were famous novelists. B. All of them were in favour of reading widely. C. All of them were masters in both maths and literature. D. All of them were aware of the boundary between maths and literature. 66. Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with? A. Taking on maths and giving up literature was not a wise choice for him. B. Both maths and literature are part of the pursuit to understand the universe. C. There is enough research on the connections between maths and literature. D. Mathematicians may find it hard to understand ideas embedded in literature. Section C (每题2分，共8分) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. But getting dirty could have a powerful effect on their wellbeing. B. With the rise of urbanism, contact with nature is much rarer than in the past. C. Many of the psychological benefits of outdoor play are already well established. D. However, these behaviors allow children to gradually understand their bodily signals. E. A child may find it easier to build up strength and energy in a large open space, resulting in a reduced risk of obesity. F. Those who grow up on farms are less likely to develop auto-immune disorders thanks, apparently, to their childhood exposure to a more diverse range of organisms. How Mud Boosts Your Immune System Children love getting dirty. They are drawn to puddles like muddy magnets, with no regard for footwear or the color of their clothing. (67) ________. “Don't get dirty!” was once a constant family refrain, as parents despairingly watched their children spoil their best clothes. Whether they were running through farmers' fields, climbing trees or catching tadpoles (蝌蚪), it was inevitable that children's whites would turn brown before the day was over. Today, many parents may secretly wish their children had the chance to pick up a bit of dirt. (68) ________ For many, there is simply no opportunity to get muddy. What is gained in laundry bills may be lost in children's wellbeing. According to recent research, the dirt outside is packed with friendly microorganisms that can train the immune system and build resilience (恢复力) to a range of illnesses, including allergies and even depression. (69) ________ Our brains evolved in natural landscapes, and our perceptual systems are particularly well suited to wild outdoor spaces. This means that natural scenes provide the perfect level of stimulation, which is thought to help recharge the brain when it is tired and easily distractable. Besides the restorative effects, outdoor play can offer valuable learning experiences. For example, the act of molding and kneading materials like mud or sand can help children develop the way their senses and movement interact. When it comes to the child's physical health, the most obvious advantage of outdoor play may be the exercise. (70) ________ The latest findings suggest there could be a host of other advantages to playing in natural environments and the secret may be alive and twisting around in the mud itself. IV. Summary Writing (10分) Directions: Read the passage carefully. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Feeling Competent and Purposeful Helps Adolescents A Lot The University of Cambridge study, involving over 600 teenagers from seven English schools, examined two separate aspects of their well-being: life satisfaction and ‘eudaimonia'. While life satisfaction roughly equates to how happy a person is, eudaimonia refers to how well that person feels they are functioning. It involves feelings of competence, motivation and self-esteem. The study involved 607 adolescents, aged 14-15. Participants completed an established psychological assessment called ‘How I feel about myself and school', which measures both life satisfaction and eudaimonia. Researchers found that students with high levels of eudaimonia consistently outperformed their peers in GCSE-level assessments, especially Maths. On average, those achieving top Maths grades had eudaimonic wellbeing levels 1.5 times higher than those with the lowest grades. No such link was found between academic performance and life satisfaction. Despite this, child well-being policy in England tends to focus on life satisfaction. The Government has, for example, recently added ‘happiness' to national curricula as part of its Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) guidance, emphasizing teaching adolescents how to feel happy and resilient while managing negative emotions. Previous research has pointed to the importance of fostering adolescents' eudaimonic well-being by nurturing their personal values, goals and sense of self-worth. The new study appears to strengthen that case by demonstrating a positive link between eudaimonia and academic performance. The study also found that growth mindset did not predict good academic results, although students with high eudaimonic well-being did tend to exhibit such a mindset. Other research has similarly struggled to draw a clear link between growth mindset and academic progress, but does link it more generally to positive mental health. This implies that eudaimonia may also support important aspects of self-belief, leading to broader mental health benefits. V.
