If you’re chained to your phone and unhappy about it, you might consider receiving smartphone notifications (通知) at set intervals throughout the day 21 ________ as they come. Researchers at Duke University and Georgetown University found that study participants who received notifications set 22 (arrive) only three times a day reported better moods, higher productivity, and greater feelings of control over their phones. In comparison with participants who received notifications as usual and another group of participants who received no notifications at all, study participants also unlocked their phones 23 (often). In total, 237 smartphone owners living in India participated in the study. Participants downloaded an Android app developed by the researchers that regulated 24 delivery of phone notifications. Respondents also were asked to report in a daily diary various measures including: “concentration, distraction, stress, anxiety, mood, productivity, social connectedness, and work enjoyment — as well as phone-specific outcomes: feeling of being interrupted by notifications, sense of missing out on notifications, sense of control over phone, social pressure to respond to others, phone overuse, and intentional phone checking.” Participants 25 (inform) that they could always access their notifications by opening individual apps. And the authors give their further explanation, “In other words, we only controlled the delivery of notifications (e.g., to the lock screen), rather than preventing messages from being accessed at all.” “Compared to those in the control condition (notifications as usual), participants 26 notifications were set three-times-a-day felt more attentive, productive, in a better mood, and in greater control of their phones,” the researchers write, 27 (note) that this group also reported lower stress levels. “In contrast, participants who did not receive notifications at all harvested few of those benefits, but experienced higher levels of anxiety and ‘fear of missing out’ (FoMO).” They’ve released the app, called Daywise, for personal use through Google Play. But Daywise 28 (be only) available on the Android platform so far. “ 29 the Android app, iOS (short for Internetwork Operating System) doesn’t allow third party developers to control notifications to a degree we’d like for setting to work in a nuanced (细微的) manner,” Daywise creator Ranjan Jagannathan told us. “ 30 we’re able to do this flexibly enough, we will not be able to build a powerful version of Daywise for iOS. We are working for it.” Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．drowned   B．carefully     C． tissue    D．captured     E. release     F. steadily     G. present       H. block    I. extremely      J. course    K. slightly The Villain in the Atmosphere The villain in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide. It does not seem to be a villain. It is not very poisonous and it is 31 in the atmosphere in so small a quantity — only 0.034 percent — that it does us no harm. What’s more, that small quantity of carbon dioxide in the air is essential to life. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into their own 32 , which serves as the basic food supply for all of animal life (including human beings, of course). In the process they 33 oxygen, which is also necessary for all animal life. But here is what this apparently harmless and certainly essential gas is doing to us: The sea level is rising very slowly from year to year. In all likelihood, it will continue to rise and do so at a greater rate in the 34 of the next hundred years. Eventually the sea will reach two hundred feet above its present level, and will be splashing against the windows along the twentieth floors of Manhattan’s skyscrapers. Naturally the Manhattan streets will be deep under water. Florida, too, will be gone, as will much of the British Isles, the crowded Nile valley, and the low-lying areas of China, India, and Russia. Many cities will be 35 , and much of the most productive farming land of the world will be lost. As the food supply drops, starvation will be widespread. And all because of carbon dioxide. But how does that come about? What is the connection? It begins with sunlight. Sunlight travels through miles of atmosphere to reach the earth’s surface, where it is   36 . In this way, the earth is warmed. At night, the earth cools by radiating heat into space in the form of infrared radiation. As the earth gains heat by day and loses it at night, it maintains a balance. However, carbon dioxide tends to 37 such radiation. This is called the “greenhouse effect” of carbon dioxide. We can be thankful that carbon dioxide is keeping us comfortably warm, but the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is going up 38 and that is where the villainy comes in. In 1958, when the carbon dioxide of the atmosphere first began to be measured 39 , it made up only 0.0316 percent of the atmosphere. Each year since, the concentration has moved upwards and it now stands at 0.0340 percent. It is estimated that by 2020 the concentration will be about 0.0660 percent. This means that in the coming decades, the earth’s average temperature will go up 40 . Winters will grow a bit milder on the average and summers a bit hotter. Little by little, the glaciers will retreat, and the polar ice caps will begin to melt. It is the melting of the ice caps that is the worst change and it is this that demonstrates the villainy of carbon dioxide. Something like 90 percent of the ice in the world is to be found in the huge Antarctica ice cap, and another 8 percent is in the Greenland ice cap. If these ice caps begin to melt, the sea level will rise, with the result that I have already described. III.Reading Comprehension Section A 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. Why saving older animals is vital to species’ survival It’s not just humans who get wiser as they age — animals do too, according to a growing body of research. And 41 is not just a number: as animals get older they behave differently 42 their life experiences, gain richer knowledge of their environment, and often pass it on to younger members of their group, researchers say. The problem is, we are killing off these older creatures. “Earth’s old animals are 43 ,” researchers warned in a paper published in Science last month, which analyzed more than 9,000 peer-reviewed papers. Few make it to old age, and the ones that do are 44 to being hunted or harvested by humans, because they are the biggest or have, for example, the largest antlers, horns, or tusks. 45 the largest and most experienced animals can have significant consequences for group culture and social structures, researchers warn, as they argue for a new approach called “longevity conservation.” Much research on ageing has focused on negative health aspects, says the lead researcher, Keller Kopf. “That 46 idea about old individuals not being important for populations or for environments is really not the full story,” he says. The more he examined different groups of animals, the more he stumbled on remarkable instances demonstrating the 47 of older creatures. Primates, whales, elephants, and pack-hunting animals all have old individuals who carry vital 48 knowledge and maintain social structures, according to the paper. Older female elephants, for example, have a “social memory” of who is a friend or 49 , and are more sensitive to 50 dangers such as listening out for lions. The research shows that removing older individuals results in populations becoming more unstable over time, sometimes eventually 51 . Older birds can provide better food and care for their offspring, and deep-sea corals that can grow for thousands of years can provide shelter for marine mammals. Although older mammals may produce fewer offspring themselves, they help look after young ones. This is called the “ 52 hypothesis” of healthy populations, which was first studied in humans but has also been explored in elephants and orcas. “Older individuals are likely to 53 important cultural knowledge, so if our fishing practices are aimed at catching these individuals then the culture collapses,” says Kopf. “The trouble is once culture is lost it is very hard to regain. This would explain,” he adds, “why many fish populations have not 54 , even after fishing moratoriums (暂停).” Kopf’s paper refers to the importance of “cultural transmission” that not only recognises that animals have culture but that these individuals transmit their social learning to other individuals. The loss of old individuals can be a 55 factor for many species threatened with extinction, he continues. “It’s not currently recognized widely but the literature itself has shown that the loss of these old individuals can be a major contributor to the decline of those species.” 41．A．time B．success C．age D．happiness 42．A．depending on B．sticking to C．worrying about D．resulting in 43．A．on the rise B．in decline C．in demand D．out of control 44．A．vulnerable B．beneficial C．accustomed D．obliged 45．A．Trapping B．Protecting C．Taming D．Eliminating 46．A．abstract B．accurate C．simple D．faint 47．A．danger B．value C．mystery D．trace 48．A．cultural B．academic C．adequate D．basic 49．A．superior B．colleague C．enemy D．peer 50．A．potential B．immediate C．obvious D．permanent 51．A．thriving B．stabilizing C．spreading D．collapsing 52．A．species B．memory C．grandmother D．communication 53．A．absorb B．harbor C．advance D．digest 54．A．analyzed B．estimated C．managed D．recovered 55．A．balancing B．driving C．complicating D．limiting Section B 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 It was a cold night in Washington, D．C．, and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I’d read the signs: “Don’t give money to beggars as most of them are swindlers.” So I shook my head and kept walking.   I wasn’t prepared for a reply, but with no hesitation, he followed me and said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking.   The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn’t been a real beggar. On a freezing cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being. Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn’t help thinking of him. I tried to reason my failure to help by supposing government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you’re not supposed to give money to beggars.   Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean’s Cafe, a local charity service kitchen, feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens for Bean’s?  Plant a row for Bean’s. It’s clean and simple.   We didn’t keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they took something in. It’s food for the spirit and comfort for my conscience.   In April 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program, Plant a Row for Bean’s became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry, which brought the program to national attention. As more and more people participated, new variations cropped up. Many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo for the program. Donations poured in. It was then that I could really stop feeling guilty. 56．The underlined word “swindlers” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______. A．policemen B．writers C．cheaters D．beggars 57．Why did the author think he assumed the worst of a fellow human being? A．Because he didn’t show fair respect to a beggar treating him badly. B．Because he could have helped a hungry man but he passed by. C．Because he believed that no people begged because of real hunger. D．Because he thought that charity work was the government’s duty. 58．How did the author make up for what he had done? A．He set up a local kitchen to help the poor. B．He planted a row of vegetables for charity. C．He called on people to donate money to the Bean’s. D．He initiated the idea of Plant a row for Bean’s. 59．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．The beggar gave up the first time he was turned down by the author. B．The author invented the program inspired by the Anchorage Daily News. C．GWAA expanded the program concept and made it nationwide in 1995. D．The program was later taken over by some seeding companies. B Best Electronic Dictionaries Bottom line Perfect for Students: This pen is perfect for students who are learning other languages.

Reams of papers have been published on the cognitive advantages of multilingualism. Beyond the conversational doors it can open, multilingualism is supposed to improve “executive function” — a loose concept including the ability to ignore distractions, plan complex tasks and update beliefs with new information. Most striking, numerous studies show that bilinguals experience a later onset of dementia, by around four years on average. But some of these studies have failed to replicate, leaving experts questioning whether the effect is real, and if so, what exactly it involves. The good news is that it is never too late to start learning a new language for brain benefits. A 2019 study showed that while moderate language learning in adults does not boost executive function, it does mitigate age-related cognitive decline. The biggest benefits seem to come to those who master a second language fully — usually because they speak two languages natively, or at least on a near-daily basis for a long time. A bit of university French, unfortunately, does not convey the same advantages as deep knowledge and long experience. Frequent language switching may be particularly important: studies of interpreters and translators provide some of the strongest evidence for a bilingual advantage, with them faster at repeatedly switching between math problems like simple addition and subtraction than monolinguals, suggesting better cognitive control. But there is “a forest of complex variables”, says Mark Antoniou of Western Sydney University. Bilinguals differ from monolinguals in many ways: a diplomat’s child raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to bilingualism. Yet in poorer regions, studies find multilingual people show the strongest benefits, with researchers suspecting that bilingualism exercises children’s brains where schooling is insufficient. Age also plays a role: the brain effects of bilingualism are stronger for young children and the elderly than for young adults. Bilingual kids outperform monolinguals in early cognitive development, though monolingual classmates may later catch up. One meta-analysis found 25 of 45 studies showed a bilingual advantage in children under 6, while only 17 did in those aged 6-12. At life’s other end, Ellen Bialystok of York University, a pioneer in the field, compares bilingualism’s cognitive protection to a slice of holey Swiss cheese: other brain - healthy habits like exercise are similar to piling slices, whose holes align differently, offering greater collective protection. All these studies, however, take for granted the undeniable mental superpower of language study: talking to people you could not otherwise understand. Even if you cannot be fluent from infancy, that alone is reason enough to learn a new language. 63．What does the word “mitigate” most probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Accelerate. B．Relieve. C．Ignore. D．Cause. 64．What can we infer about the bilingual advantage? A．Basic second language learning can bring obvious cognitive benefits. B．Monolinguals are slower in solving simple math problems than bilinguals. C．Interpreters’ better cognitive control lies in frequent language shifting. D．Only with native-like fluency can people gain the bilingual advantage. 65．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Bilinguals always have cognitive advantages over monolinguals in all respects. B．Bilingualism can make up for the insufficiency of schooling in poor areas. C．Bilingual kids under 12 show a consistent cognitive advantage over monolinguals. D．Complex variables make it hard to confirm the real cause of bilingual advantages. 66．What does Ellen Bialystok intend to explain by comparing bilingualism to “holey Swiss cheese”? A．Different brain-healthy habits have completely different protective effects on the brain. B．The cognitive protection from bilingualism is far less than that from physical exercise. C．Bilingualism alone cannot provide complete cognitive protection for the brain. D．Bilingualism is the most effective way to protect the brain from cognitive decline. Section C Directions: Read the following passages. 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. How to Live a Happy Life Happiness is what we need most with the increase of pressure in modern life. However, sometimes it seems far away from us. Fortunately, this is not the case. Everyone has the ability. to hang on to happiness with his own efforts. The following methods may lead you to long- lasting happiness. ·Take exercise. Other than health benefits that are too numerous to mention, exercise makes you smarter, happier, improves sleep, and makes you feel better about your body. 67 Keeping in touch with nature can help you reduce stress, make you more creative, improve your memory and may even make you a better person. · 68 Relationships are worth more than you think. Not feeling socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke (中风) and diabetes (肥胖症) . On the other hand, studies have shown that the longest lived people on the planet all place a strong cmphas is on social engagement. ·Challenge yourself. 69 Music lessons increase intelligence. Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind. Increasing willpower just takes a little effort each day and it's more responsible for your success than IQ. Not getting an education or taking advantage of opportunities are two of the things people look back on their lives and regret the most. ·Laugh. Laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and the feet. It can even reduce the effect of pain on the body. Humor is a good way to cause laughter. 70 A．Life is always full of hope. B．Do something kind for the people you care about. C．Learning another language can keep your mind sharp. D．It would be better if you take exercise in nature. E．Spend time with friends and family. F．Just thinking about funny moments or things can help a lot. IV. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. As a child, I was regularly told off for swinging on my chair, and fidgeting through story time. Eventually, I learned to resist the desire to fidget. Today, I can sit still for hours with barely a shuffle. It turns out, however, that I may have been better-off before. Let s dig a bit more into the science. Fidgeting is defined as moving or acting impatiently or nervously. However, James Levine, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, says it is better defined as a neurologically programmed rhythmic-movement of a body part. In other words, the fidget factor is an outward sign of a natural desire to move. While no evidence shows that fidgeting directly leads to a longer life, studies have shown fidgeting can help. For one, fidgeting may help us cope with stress. In one study, volunteers were put in a stressful situation, a simulated job interview followed by a mental arithmetic (算术) task. Researchers found those who fidgeted by displaying “displacement behavior,” such as scratching, biting their lips or touching their face, found the experience less stressful. Meanwhile, fidgeting may also help lower some of the other risks that come with a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle. Feet tapping while sitting, for example, can protect the arteries (动脉) in-legs-and potentially help prevent related diseases. “If you’re sedentary, that’s not good for you. But if you’re sedentary and fidget, it reduces your risk of long-term ill health,” says Janet Cade at the University of Leeds. The findings raise questions about whether the way we perceive people who fidget should change. Fidgeting is often seen as rude or an indication that someone is not paying attention. But if these simple movements are good for our health, maybe they should be indulged. 71.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Defined as restless movement, fidgeting actually reflects our natural urge to move. Fidgeting may relieve stress and promote longevity as simple movement mitigates the diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, we should shift our attitude and recognize its hidden health value in these actions. 汉译英 【72】Nothing is more harmful to the body than staying up late and going on a diet. 【73】We should stick to the rules in the nature reserve so as to avoid getting into danger. 【74】Integrating/Combining traditional customs and modern technology, the exhibition pioneers the digital reproduction of traditional folk art. 【75】It suddenly occurs to me that it has been years since we gathered wild honey and fruits in the suburbs last time. 写作 【参考范文】 76．Dear Librarians, I’m Li Ming, a Grade Two student from Mingqi High School. Hearing that our school library plans to purchase new books and collect suggestions from teachers and students, I’m writing to recommend The Little Prince. This book tells a warm story about a little prince traveling across different planets. During his journey, he meets various strange adults and finally lands on Earth, where he makes friends with a pilot and learns the true meaning of love and responsibility from his rose. I strongly recommend it for two reasons. First, its simple but profound language helps us improve our English reading skills easily. Besides, it teaches teenagers to cherish the people around them and keep a pure heart, which brings us valuable spiritual inspiration. I believe it will be popular among students. Thank you for taking my advice into consideration. Yours sincerely, Li Ming 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Section a short conversations directions.

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. If you’re chained to your phone and unhappy about it, you might consider receiving smartphone notifications (通知) at set intervals throughout the day 21 ________ as they come. Researchers at Duke University and Georgetown University found that study participants who received notifications set 22 (arrive) only three times a day reported better moods, higher productivity, and greater feelings of control over their phones. In comparison with participants who received notifications as usual and another group of participants who received no notifications at all, study participants also unlocked their phones 23 (often). In total, 237 smartphone owners living in India participated in the study. Participants downloaded an Android app developed by the researchers that regulated 24 delivery of phone notifications. Respondents also were asked to report in a daily diary various measures including: “concentration, distraction, stress, anxiety, mood, productivity, social connectedness, and work enjoyment — as well as phone-specific outcomes: feeling of being interrupted by notifications, sense of missing out on notifications, sense of control over phone, social pressure to respond to others, phone overuse, and intentional phone checking.” Participants 25 (inform) that they could always access their notifications by opening individual apps. And the authors give their further explanation, “In other words, we only controlled the delivery of notifications (e.g., to the lock screen), rather than preventing messages from being accessed at all.” “Compared to those in the control condition (notifications as usual), participants 26 notifications were set three-times-a-day felt more attentive, productive, in a better mood, and in greater control of their phones,” the researchers write, 27 (note) that this group also reported lower stress levels. “In contrast, participants who did not receive notifications at all harvested few of those benefits, but experienced higher levels of anxiety and ‘fear of missing out’ (FoMO).” They’ve released the app, called Daywise, for personal use through Google Play. But Daywise 28 (be only) available on the Android platform so far. “ 29 the Android app, iOS (short for Internetwork Operating System) doesn’t allow third party developers to control notifications to a degree we’d like for setting to work in a nuanced (细微的) manner,” Daywise creator Ranjan Jagannathan told us. “ 30 we’re able to do this flexibly enough, we will not be able to build a powerful version of Daywise for iOS. We are working for it.” Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．drowned   B．carefully     C． tissue    D．captured     E. release     F. steadily     G. present       H. block    I. extremely      J. course    K. slightly The Villain in the Atmosphere The villain in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide. It does not seem to be a villain. It is not very poisonous and it is 31 in the atmosphere in so small a quantity — only 0.034 percent — that it does us no harm. What’s more, that small quantity of carbon dioxide in the air is essential to life. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into their own 32 , which serves as the basic food supply for all of animal life (including human beings, of course). In the process they 33 oxygen, which is also necessary for all animal life. But here is what this apparently harmless and certainly essential gas is doing to us: The sea level is rising very slowly from year to year. In all likelihood, it will continue to rise and do so at a greater rate in the 34 of the next hundred years. Eventually the sea will reach two hundred feet above its present level, and will be splashing against the windows along the twentieth floors of Manhattan’s skyscrapers. Naturally the Manhattan streets will be deep under water. Florida, too, will be gone, as will much of the British Isles, the crowded Nile valley, and the low-lying areas of China, India, and Russia. Many cities will be 35 , and much of the most productive farming land of the world will be lost. As the food supply drops, starvation will be widespread. And all because of carbon dioxide. But how does that come about? What is the connection? It begins with sunlight. Sunlight travels through miles of atmosphere to reach the earth’s surface, where it is   36 . In this way, the earth is warmed. At night, the earth cools by radiating heat into space in the form of infrared radiation. As the earth gains heat by day and loses it at night, it maintains a balance. However, carbon dioxide tends to 37 such radiation. This is called the “greenhouse effect” of carbon dioxide. We can be thankful that carbon dioxide is keeping us comfortably warm, but the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is going up 38 and that is where the villainy comes in. In 1958, when the carbon dioxide of the atmosphere first began to be measured 39 , it made up only 0.0316 percent of the atmosphere. Each year since, the concentration has moved upwards and it now stands at 0.0340 percent. It is estimated that by 2020 the concentration will be about 0.0660 percent. This means that in the coming decades, the earth’s average temperature will go up 40 . Winters will grow a bit milder on the average and summers a bit hotter. Little by little, the glaciers will retreat, and the polar ice caps will begin to melt. It is the melting of the ice caps that is the worst change and it is this that demonstrates the villainy of carbon dioxide. Something like 90 percent of the ice in the world is to be found in the huge Antarctica ice cap, and another 8 percent is in the Greenland ice cap. If these ice caps begin to melt, the sea level will rise, with the result that I have already described. III.Reading Comprehension Section A 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. Why saving older animals is vital to species’ survival It’s not just humans who get wiser as they age — animals do too, according to a growing body of research. And 41 is not just a number: as animals get older they behave differently 42 their life experiences, gain richer knowledge of their environment, and often pass it on to younger members of their group, researchers say. The problem is, we are killing off these older creatures. “Earth’s old animals are 43 ,” researchers warned in a paper published in Science last month, which analyzed more than 9,000 peer-reviewed papers. Few make it to old age, and the ones that do are 44 to being hunted or harvested by humans, because they are the biggest or have, for example, the largest antlers, horns, or tusks. 45 the largest and most experienced animals can have significant consequences for group culture and social structures, researchers warn, as they argue for a new approach called “longevity conservation.” Much research on ageing has focused on negative health aspects, says the lead researcher, Keller Kopf. “That 46 idea about old individuals not being important for populations or for environments is really not the full story,” he says. The more he examined different groups of animals, the more he stumbled on remarkable instances demonstrating the 47 of older creatures. Primates, whales, elephants, and pack-hunting animals all have old individuals who carry vital 48 knowledge and maintain social structures, according to the paper. Older female elephants, for example, have a “social memory” of who is a friend or 49 , and are more sensitive to 50 dangers such as listening out for lions. The research shows that removing older individuals results in populations becoming more unstable over time, sometimes eventually 51 . Older birds can provide better food and care for their offspring, and deep-sea corals that can grow for thousands of years can provide shelter for marine mammals. Although older mammals may produce fewer offspring themselves, they help look after young ones. This is called the “ 52 hypothesis” of healthy populations, which was first studied in humans but has also been explored in elephants and orcas. “Older individuals are likely to 53 important cultural knowledge, so if our fishing practices are aimed at catching these individuals then the culture collapses,” says Kopf. “The trouble is once culture is lost it is very hard to regain. This would explain,” he adds, “why many fish populations have not 54 , even after fishing moratoriums (暂停).” Kopf’s paper refers to the importance of “cultural transmission” that not only recognises that animals have culture but that these individuals transmit their social learning to other individuals. The loss of old individuals can be a 55 factor for many species threatened with extinction, he continues. “It’s not currently recognized widely but the literature itself has shown that the loss of these old individuals can be a major contributor to the decline of those species.” 41．A．time B．success C．age D．happiness 42．A．depending on B．sticking to C．worrying about D．resulting in 43．A．on the rise B．in decline C．in demand D．out of control 44．A．vulnerable B．beneficial C．accustomed D．obliged 45．A．Trapping B．Protecting C．Taming D．Eliminating 46．A．abstract B．accurate C．simple D．faint 47．A．danger B．value C．mystery D．trace 48．A．cultural B．academic C．adequate D．basic 49．A．superior B．colleague C．enemy D．peer 50．A．potential B．immediate C．obvious D．permanent 51．A．thriving B．stabilizing C．spreading D．collapsing 52．A．species B．memory C．grandmother D．communication 53．A．absorb B．harbor C．advance D．digest 54．A．analyzed B．estimated C．managed D．recovered 55．A．balancing B．driving C．complicating D．limiting Section B 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 It was a cold night in Washington, D．C．, and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I’d read the signs: “Don’t give money to beggars as most of them are swindlers.” So I shook my head and kept walking.   I wasn’t prepared for a reply, but with no hesitation, he followed me and said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking.   The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn’t been a real beggar. On a freezing cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being. Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn’t help thinking of him. I tried to reason my failure to help by supposing government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you’re not supposed to give money to beggars.   Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean’s Cafe, a local charity service kitchen, feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens for Bean’s?  Plant a row for Bean’s. It’s clean and simple.   We didn’t keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they took something in. It’s food for the spirit and comfort for my conscience.   In April 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program, Plant a Row for Bean’s became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry, which brought the program to national attention. As more and more people participated, new variations cropped up. Many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo for the program. Donations poured in. It was then that I could really stop feeling guilty. 56．The underlined word “swindlers” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______. A．policemen B．writers C．cheaters D．beggars 57．Why did the author think he assumed the worst of a fellow human being? A．Because he didn’t show fair respect to a beggar treating him badly. B．Because he could have helped a hungry man but he passed by. C．Because he believed that no people begged because of real hunger. D．Because he thought that charity work was the government’s duty. 58．How did the author make up for what he had done? A．He set up a local kitchen to help the poor. B．He planted a row of vegetables for charity. C．He called on people to donate money to the Bean’s. D．He initiated the idea of Plant a row for Bean’s. 59．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．The beggar gave up the first time he was turned down by the author. B．The author invented the program inspired by the Anchorage Daily News. C．GWAA expanded the program concept and made it nationwide in 1995. D．The program was later taken over by some seeding companies. B Best Electronic Dictionaries Bottom line Perfect for Students: This pen is perfect for students who are learning other languages.

Reams of papers have been published on the cognitive advantages of multilingualism. Beyond the conversational doors it can open, multilingualism is supposed to improve “executive function” — a loose concept including the ability to ignore distractions, plan complex tasks and update beliefs with new information. Most striking, numerous studies show that bilinguals experience a later onset of dementia, by around four years on average. But some of these studies have failed to replicate, leaving experts questioning whether the effect is real, and if so, what exactly it involves. The good news is that it is never too late to start learning a new language for brain benefits. A 2019 study showed that while moderate language learning in adults does not boost executive function, it does mitigate age-related cognitive decline. The biggest benefits seem to come to those who master a second language fully — usually because they speak two languages natively, or at least on a near-daily basis for a long time. A bit of university French, unfortunately, does not convey the same advantages as deep knowledge and long experience. Frequent language switching may be particularly important: studies of interpreters and translators provide some of the strongest evidence for a bilingual advantage, with them faster at repeatedly switching between math problems like simple addition and subtraction than monolinguals, suggesting better cognitive control. But there is “a forest of complex variables”, says Mark Antoniou of Western Sydney University. Bilinguals differ from monolinguals in many ways: a diplomat’s child raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to bilingualism. Yet in poorer regions, studies find multilingual people show the strongest benefits, with researchers suspecting that bilingualism exercises children’s brains where schooling is insufficient. Age also plays a role: the brain effects of bilingualism are stronger for young children and the elderly than for young adults. Bilingual kids outperform monolinguals in early cognitive development, though monolingual classmates may later catch up. One meta-analysis found 25 of 45 studies showed a bilingual advantage in children under 6, while only 17 did in those aged 6-12. At life’s other end, Ellen Bialystok of York University, a pioneer in the field, compares bilingualism’s cognitive protection to a slice of holey Swiss cheese: other brain - healthy habits like exercise are similar to piling slices, whose holes align differently, offering greater collective protection. All these studies, however, take for granted the undeniable mental superpower of language study: talking to people you could not otherwise understand. Even if you cannot be fluent from infancy, that alone is reason enough to learn a new language. 63．What does the word “mitigate” most probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Accelerate. B．Relieve. C．Ignore. D．Cause. 64．What can we infer about the bilingual advantage? A．Basic second language learning can bring obvious cognitive benefits. B．Monolinguals are slower in solving simple math problems than bilinguals. C．Interpreters’ better cognitive control lies in frequent language shifting. D．Only with native-like fluency can people gain the bilingual advantage. 65．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Bilinguals always have cognitive advantages over monolinguals in all respects. B．Bilingualism can make up for the insufficiency of schooling in poor areas. C．Bilingual kids under 12 show a consistent cognitive advantage over monolinguals. D．Complex variables make it hard to confirm the real cause of bilingual advantages. 66．What does Ellen Bialystok intend to explain by comparing bilingualism to “holey Swiss cheese”? A．Different brain-healthy habits have completely different protective effects on the brain. B．The cognitive protection from bilingualism is far less than that from physical exercise. C．Bilingualism alone cannot provide complete cognitive protection for the brain. D．Bilingualism is the most effective way to protect the brain from cognitive decline. Section C Directions: Read the following passages. 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. How to Live a Happy Life Happiness is what we need most with the increase of pressure in modern life. However, sometimes it seems far away from us. Fortunately, this is not the case. Everyone has the ability. to hang on to happiness with his own efforts. The following methods may lead you to long- lasting happiness. ·Take exercise. Other than health benefits that are too numerous to mention, exercise makes you smarter, happier, improves sleep, and makes you feel better about your body. 67 Keeping in touch with nature can help you reduce stress, make you more creative, improve your memory and may even make you a better person. · 68 Relationships are worth more than you think. Not feeling socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke (中风) and diabetes (肥胖症) . On the other hand, studies have shown that the longest lived people on the planet all place a strong cmphas is on social engagement. ·Challenge yourself. 69 Music lessons increase intelligence. Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind. Increasing willpower just takes a little effort each day and it's more responsible for your success than IQ. Not getting an education or taking advantage of opportunities are two of the things people look back on their lives and regret the most. ·Laugh. Laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and the feet. It can even reduce the effect of pain on the body. Humor is a good way to cause laughter. 70 A．Life is always full of hope. B．Do something kind for the people you care about. C．Learning another language can keep your mind sharp. D．It would be better if you take exercise in nature. E．Spend time with friends and family. F．Just thinking about funny moments or things can help a lot. IV. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. As a child, I was regularly told off for swinging on my chair, and fidgeting through story time. Eventually, I learned to resist the desire to fidget. Today, I can sit still for hours with barely a shuffle. It turns out, however, that I may have been better-off before. Let s dig a bit more into the science. Fidgeting is defined as moving or acting impatiently or nervously. However, James Levine, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, says it is better defined as a neurologically programmed rhythmic-movement of a body part. In other words, the fidget factor is an outward sign of a natural desire to move. While no evidence shows that fidgeting directly leads to a longer life, studies have shown fidgeting can help. For one, fidgeting may help us cope with stress. In one study, volunteers were put in a stressful situation, a simulated job interview followed by a mental arithmetic (算术) task. Researchers found those who fidgeted by displaying “displacement behavior,” such as scratching, biting their lips or touching their face, found the experience less stressful. Meanwhile, fidgeting may also help lower some of the other risks that come with a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle. Feet tapping while sitting, for example, can protect the arteries (动脉) in-legs-and potentially help prevent related diseases. “If you’re sedentary, that’s not good for you. But if you’re sedentary and fidget, it reduces your risk of long-term ill health,” says Janet Cade at the University of Leeds. The findings raise questions about whether the way we perceive people who fidget should change. Fidgeting is often seen as rude or an indication that someone is not paying attention. But if these simple movements are good for our health, maybe they should be indulged. 71._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

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. If you’re chained to your phone and unhappy about it, you might consider receiving smartphone notifications (通知) at set intervals throughout the day 21 ________ as they come. Researchers at Duke University and Georgetown University found that study participants who received notifications set 22 (arrive) only three times a day reported better moods, higher productivity, and greater feelings of control over their phones. In comparison with participants who received notifications as usual and another group of participants who received no notifications at all, study participants also unlocked their phones 23 (often). In total, 237 smartphone owners living in India participated in the study. Participants downloaded an Android app developed by the researchers that regulated 24 delivery of phone notifications. Respondents also were asked to report in a daily diary various measures including: “concentration, distraction, stress, anxiety, mood, productivity, social connectedness, and work enjoyment — as well as phone-specific outcomes: feeling of being interrupted by notifications, sense of missing out on notifications, sense of control over phone, social pressure to respond to others, phone overuse, and intentional phone checking.” Participants 25 (inform) that they could always access their notifications by opening individual apps. And the authors give their further explanation, “In other words, we only controlled the delivery of notifications (e.g., to the lock screen), rather than preventing messages from being accessed at all.” “Compared to those in the control condition (notifications as usual), participants 26 notifications were set three-times-a-day felt more attentive, productive, in a better mood, and in greater control of their phones,” the researchers write, 27 (note) that this group also reported lower stress levels. “In contrast, participants who did not receive notifications at all harvested few of those benefits, but experienced higher levels of anxiety and ‘fear of missing out’ (FoMO).” They’ve released the app, called Daywise, for personal use through Google Play. But Daywise 28 (be only) available on the Android platform so far. “ 29 the Android app, iOS (short for Internetwork Operating System) doesn’t allow third party developers to control notifications to a degree we’d like for setting to work in a nuanced (细微的) manner,” Daywise creator Ranjan Jagannathan told us. “ 30 we’re able to do this flexibly enough, we will not be able to build a powerful version of Daywise for iOS. We are working for it.” 【答案】 21．rather than 22．to arrive 23．less often 24．the 25．were informed 26．whose 27．noting 28．has only been 29．Unlike 30．Until/Unless 【导语】本文介绍一项心理学研究，该研究探究了限制手机通知推送频率对用户情绪、工作效率及手机使用体验的影响，结果表明每日仅分三次接收通知能带来诸多积极益处，同时介绍了对应控制通知推送的应用Daywise的开发现状。 【详解】21．考查介词短语。句意：如果你被手机束缚并且为此感到不开心，你可以考虑一整天按固定的间隔接收智能手机通知，而不是让它们一来就接收。空格前说明“按固定间隔接收通知”，空格后说明“它们一来就接收”，二者是对比选择关系，rather than表示“而不是”，连接前后部分。 22．考查非谓语动词。句意：杜克大学和乔治敦大学的研究人员发现，那些将通知设置为一天只推送三次的研究参与者报告称自己情绪更好、工作效率更高，对手机的掌控感更强。此处为固定搭配set sth. to do sth.，意为“设置某物做某事”，本句中set to arrive only three times a day为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰notifications。 23．考查副词比较级。句意：和正常接收通知的参与者，以及另一组完全不接收通知的参与者相比，（按日三次接收通知的）研究参与者解锁手机的频率也更低。上文“study participants who received notifications set _____ (arrive) only three times a day reported better moods, higher productivity, and greater feelings of control over their phones”提到每日三次接收通知的参与者情绪更好、工作效率更高、对手机掌控感更强，因此他们解锁手机的频率比另外两组更低，要用比较级less修饰副词often，表示“频率更低”，故填less often。 24．考查定冠词。句意：参与者下载了由研究人员开发的一款安卓应用，这款应用可以控制手机通知的推送。此处特指这项研究中针对手机通知的推送管控，表特指要用定冠词the。 25．考查动词的时态和语态。句意：参与者被告知，他们始终可以通过打开单个应用来查看通知。主语Participants和动词inform之间是被动关系，且这项研究发生在过去，要用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是复数，故填were informed。 26．考查定语从句。句意：研究人员写道：“和正常接收通知的控制组参与者相比，那些设置为每日仅接收三次通知的参与者感到注意力更集中、工作效率更高、情绪更好，也更能掌控自己的手机”，同时指出该组参与者报告的压力水平也更低。空处引导定语从句，此处先行词为participants，在定语从句中作notifications的定语，表示“参与者的通知”，要用关系代词whose。 27．考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。句子主语the researchers和动词note之间是主动关系，要用现在分词作伴随状语。 28．考查动词时态。句意：但到目前为止，Daywise仅支持安卓平台。时间状语so far意为“到目前为止”，是现在完成时的标志词，主语是单数Daywise，故填has only been。 29．考查介词。句意：Daywise创造者Ranjan Jagannathan告诉我们：“和安卓上的这款应用不同，iOS系统（Internetwork Operating System的简称）不允许第三方开发者对通知进行我们所需要的、足够细微灵活的设置管控。”后文说明iOS和安卓系统权限不同，此处表示“和……不同”，用介词unlike，位于句首首字母大写。 30．考查状语从句。句意：我们只有能够足够灵活地实现这一点，才能打造功能强大的iOS版Daywise。结合后文“we will not be able to build a powerful version of Daywise for iOS”可知，此处构成not...until...(直到……才……)结构，引导时间状语从句，也可表达“除非”的否定条件，相当于if not，用连词unless。位于句首首字母大写。 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

It does not seem to be a villain. It is not very poisonous and it is 31 in the atmosphere in so small a quantity — only 0.034 percent — that it does us no harm. What’s more, that small quantity of carbon dioxide in the air is essential to life. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into their own 32 , which serves as the basic food supply for all of animal life (including human beings, of course). In the process they 33 oxygen, which is also necessary for all animal life. But here is what this apparently harmless and certainly essential gas is doing to us: The sea level is rising very slowly from year to year. In all likelihood, it will continue to rise and do so at a greater rate in the 34 of the next hundred years. Eventually the sea will reach two hundred feet above its present level, and will be splashing against the windows along the twentieth floors of Manhattan’s skyscrapers. Naturally the Manhattan streets will be deep under water. Florida, too, will be gone, as will much of the British Isles, the crowded Nile valley, and the low-lying areas of China, India, and Russia. Many cities will be 35 , and much of the most productive farming land of the world will be lost. As the food supply drops, starvation will be widespread. And all because of carbon dioxide. But how does that come about? What is the connection? It begins with sunlight. Sunlight travels through miles of atmosphere to reach the earth’s surface, where it is   36 . In this way, the earth is warmed. At night, the earth cools by radiating heat into space in the form of infrared radiation. As the earth gains heat by day and loses it at night, it maintains a balance. However, carbon dioxide tends to 37 such radiation. This is called the “greenhouse effect” of carbon dioxide. We can be thankful that carbon dioxide is keeping us comfortably warm, but the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is going up 38 and that is where the villainy comes in. In 1958, when the carbon dioxide of the atmosphere first began to be measured 39 , it made up only 0.0316 percent of the atmosphere. Each year since, the concentration has moved upwards and it now stands at 0.0340 percent. It is estimated that by 2020 the concentration will be about 0.0660 percent. This means that in the coming decades, the earth’s average temperature will go up 40 . Winters will grow a bit milder on the average and summers a bit hotter. Little by little, the glaciers will retreat, and the polar ice caps will begin to melt. It is the melting of the ice caps that is the worst change and it is this that demonstrates the villainy of carbon dioxide. Something like 90 percent of the ice in the world is to be found in the huge Antarctica ice cap, and another 8 percent is in the Greenland ice cap. If these ice caps begin to melt, the sea level will rise, with the result that I have already described. 【答案】 31．G 32．C 33．E 34．J 35．A 36．D 37．H 38．F 39．B 40．K 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了二氧化碳如何引发温室效应，导致海平面上升和潜在的环境灾难。 31．考查形容词。句意：它毒性不强，而且在大气中存在的量非常小——只有0.034%——因此对我们无害。空处作表语，需填形容词，根据句意“存在的”可知，此处是形容词present。故选G。 32．考查名词。句意：植物吸收二氧化碳，并将其转化为自身的组织，这是所有动物生命（当然也包括人类）最基本的食物来源。空处作宾语，需填名词，根据句意“组织”可知，此处为名词tissue。故选C。 33．考查动词。句意：在这个过程中，植物释放氧气，而氧气也是所有动物生命所必需的。空处作谓语，根据句意“释放”可知，此处为动词release，陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语为they，谓语动词用原形。故选E。 34．考查名词。句意：很有可能，它将继续上升，而且在未来100年里上升的速度会更快。空处作宾语，需填名词，根据句意“过程”可知，此处为名词course，固定搭配in the course of意为“在……过程中”。故选J。 35．考查动词。句意：许多城市将会被淹没，世界上大部分最肥沃的农田也将消失。空处作谓语，根据句意“被淹没”可知，此处为动词drawn，结合will be可知，需填过去分词，构成一般将来时的被动语态。故选A。 36．考查动词。句意：阳光穿过数英里的大气层到达地球表面，并被捕获。空处作谓语，根据句意“被捕获”可知，此处为动词capture，结合is可知，空处需填过去分词，构成一般现在时的被动语态。故选D。 37．考查动词。句意：然而，二氧化碳会阻挡这种辐射。空处需填动词原形和to构成动词不定式，根据句意“阻挡”可知，此处为动词block。故选H。 38．考查副词。句意：我们应该庆幸二氧化碳让我们保持舒适的温暖，但大气中二氧化碳的浓度正在稳步上升，这就是它“作恶”的开始。空处修饰动词短语going up，根据句意“稳步地”可知，此处为副词steadily。故选F。 39．考查副词。句意：1958年，当人们首次开始仔细测量大气中的二氧化碳时，它只占大气的0.0316%。空处修饰动词measured，需填副词，根据句意“仔细地”可知，此处为副词carefully。故选B。 40．考查副词。句意：这意味着在未来几十年里，地球的平均温度将略微上升。空处修饰动词短语go up，需用副词作状语，根据句意“轻微地”可知，此处为副词slightly。故选K。 III.Reading Comprehension Section A 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. Why saving older animals is vital to species’ survival It’s not just humans who get wiser as they age — animals do too, according to a growing body of research. And 41 is not just a number: as animals get older they behave differently 42 their life experiences, gain richer knowledge of their environment, and often pass it on to younger members of their group, researchers say. The problem is, we are killing off these older creatures. “Earth’s old animals are 43 ,” researchers warned in a paper published in Science last month, which analyzed more than 9,000 peer-reviewed papers. Few make it to old age, and the ones that do are 44 to being hunted or harvested by humans, because they are the biggest or have, for example, the largest antlers, horns, or tusks. 45 the largest and most experienced animals can have significant consequences for group culture and social structures, researchers warn, as they argue for a new approach called “longevity conservation.” Much research on ageing has focused on negative health aspects, says the lead researcher, Keller Kopf. “That 46 idea about old individuals not being important for populations or for environments is really not the full story,” he says. The more he examined different groups of animals, the more he stumbled on remarkable instances demonstrating the 47 of older creatures. Primates, whales, elephants, and pack-hunting animals all have old individuals who carry vital 48 knowledge and maintain social structures, according to the paper. Older female elephants, for example, have a “social memory” of who is a friend or 49 , and are more sensitive to 50 dangers such as listening out for lions. The research shows that removing older individuals results in populations becoming more unstable over time, sometimes eventually 51 . Older birds can provide better food and care for their offspring, and deep-sea corals that can grow for thousands of years can provide shelter for marine mammals. Although older mammals may produce fewer offspring themselves, they help look after young ones. This is called the “ 52 hypothesis” of healthy populations, which was first studied in humans but has also been explored in elephants and orcas. “Older individuals are likely to 53 important cultural knowledge, so if our fishing practices are aimed at catching these individuals then the culture collapses,” says Kopf. “The trouble is once culture is lost it is very hard to regain. This would explain,” he adds, “why many fish populations have not 54 , even after fishing moratoriums (暂停).” Kopf’s paper refers to the importance of “cultural transmission” that not only recognises that animals have culture but that these individuals transmit their social learning to other individuals. The loss of old individuals can be a 55 factor for many species threatened with extinction, he continues. “It’s not currently recognized widely but the literature itself has shown that the loss of these old individuals can be a major contributor to the decline of those species.” 41．A．time B．success C．age D．happiness 42．A．depending on B．sticking to C．worrying about D．resulting in 43．A．on the rise B．in decline C．in demand D．out of control 44．A．vulnerable B．beneficial C．accustomed D．obliged 45．A．Trapping B．Protecting C．Taming D．Eliminating 46．A．abstract B．accurate C．simple D．faint 47．A．danger B．value C．mystery D．trace 48．A．cultural B．academic C．adequate D．basic 49．A．superior B．colleague C．enemy D．peer 50．A．potential B．immediate C．obvious D．permanent 51．A．thriving B．stabilizing C．spreading D．collapsing 52．A．species B．memory C．grandmother D．communication 53．A．absorb B．harbor C．advance D．digest 54．A．analyzed B．estimated C．managed D．recovered 55．A．balancing B．driving C．complicating D．limiting 【答案】 41．C 42．A 43．B 44．A 45．B 46．C 47．B 48．A 49．C 50．A 51．D 52．C 53．B 54．D 55．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述年长动物对物种生存至关重要，它们承载文化知识、维持社会结构，而人类活动导致其数量减少，呼吁保护年长动物。 41．考查名词词义辨析。句意：研究人员说，年龄不仅仅是一个数字：随着动物年龄的增长，它们的行为会因生活经历而有所不同，对环境有更丰富的了解，并常常将其传递给群体中较年轻的成员。A. time时间；B. success成功；C. age年龄；D. happiness幸福。根据前文“It’s not just humans who get wiser as they age — animals do too”可知，此处围绕“年龄”展开，强调年龄不只是数字，符合语境。故选C。 42．考查动词短语辨析。句意：研究人员说，年龄不仅仅是一个数字：随着动物年龄的增长，它们的行为会因生活经历而有所不同，对环境有更丰富的了解，并常常将其传递给群体中较年轻的成员。A. depending on取决于、由于；B. sticking to坚持；C. worrying about担心；D. resulting in导致。结合下文“their life experiences, gain richer knowledge of their environment, and often pass it on to younger members of their group,”可知，动物行为的不同取决于它们的生活经历。故选A。 43．考查介词短语辨析。句意：“地球上的年长动物正在减少，”研究人员在上个月发表在《科学》杂志上的一篇论文中警告说，该论文分析了9000多篇同行评审论文。A. on the rise在增加；B. in decline在减少、在衰退；C. in demand有需求；D. out of control失控。根据前文“The problem is, we are killing off these older creatures.”可知，人类正在杀害年长动物，因此它们的数量在减少。故选B。 44．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：很少有动物能活到老年，而那些活到老年的动物容易被人类猎杀或捕获，因为它们体型最大，或者例如有最大的鹿角、牛角或象牙。A. vulnerable易受伤害的、易受影响的；B. beneficial有益的；C. accustomed习惯的；D. obliged感激的，有义务的。根据后文“because they are the biggest or have, for example, the largest antlers, horns, or tusks”可知，年长动物因自身特点，更容易成为人类猎杀的目标。故选A。 45．考查动词词义辨析。句意：研究人员警告说，保护体型最大、经验最丰富的动物可能会对群体文化和社会结构产生重大影响，他们主张采用一种名为“长寿保护”的新方法。A. Trapping捕捉；B. Protecting保护；C. Taming驯服；D. Eliminating清除，消除。根据后文“removing older individuals results in populations becoming more unstable”可知，要保护年长的动物。故选B。 46．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“那种认为年长个体对种群或环境不重要的简单想法真的不是全部事实，”他说。A. abstract抽象的；B. accurate准确的；C. simple简单的，片面的；D. faint微弱的。结合前文“Much research on ageing has focused on negative health aspects”和后文“is really not the full story”可知，人们以往对年长动物的认知是片面、简单的，没有看到其重要性。故选C。 47．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他研究的动物群体越多，就越能发现更多显著的例子，证明年长动物的价值。A. danger危险；B. value价值；C. mystery神秘；D. trace痕迹。根据后文“Primates, whales, elephants, and pack-hunting animals all have old individuals who carry vital ____ knowledge and maintain social structures, according to the paper. ”可知，年长动物是有价值的。故选B。 48．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：论文称，灵长类动物、鲸鱼、大象和群体捕猎动物都有年长个体，它们承载着重要的文化知识并维持社会结构。A. cultural文化的；B. academic学术的；C. adequate足够的；D. basic基础的。根据后文“cultural transmission”、“culture collapses”可知，此处指年长动物承载文化知识。故选A。 49．考查名词词义辨析。句意：例如，年长的雌性大象对谁是朋友或敌人有“社会记忆”，并且对潜在的危险更敏感，比如倾听狮子的动静。A. superior上级；B. colleague同事；C. enemy敌人；D. peer同龄人。根据前文“friend or”可知，此处应是与friend相对的enemy（敌人），体现大象的社会记忆。故选C。 50．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：例如，年长的雌性大象对谁是朋友或敌人有“社会记忆”，并且对潜在的危险更敏感，比如倾听狮子的动静。A. potential潜在的；B. immediate立即的；C. obvious明显的；D. permanent永久的。根据后文“such as listening out for lions”可知，狮子的危险尚未发生，属于潜在的危险。故选A。 51．考查动词词义辨析。句意：研究表明，清除年长个体导致种群随着时间的推移变得更加不稳定，有时最终会崩溃。A. thriving繁荣；B. stabilizing稳定；C. spreading传播；D. collapsing崩溃。根据前文“populations becoming more unstable”和后文“culture collapses”可知，种群不稳定最终会崩溃。故选D。 52．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这被称为健康种群的“祖母假说”，最初是在人类中研究的，但在大象和虎鲸中也进行了探索。A. species物种；B. memory记忆；C. grandmother祖母；D. communication交流。根据前文“Although older mammals may produce fewer offspring themselves, they help look after young ones.”可知，年长雌性动物帮助照顾幼崽，这符合“祖母假说”的定义，即年长雌性对种群的贡献。故选C。 53．考查动词词义辨析。句意：“年长个体可能承载着重要的文化知识，所以如果我们的捕鱼行为以捕捉这些个体为目标，那么文化就会崩溃，”科普夫说。A. absorb吸收；B. harbor持有，承载；C. advance推进；D. digest消化。结合前文“carry vital cultural knowledge”可知，此处指年长个体“承载”重要的文化知识。故选B。 54．考查动词词义辨析。句意：“这也可以解释为什么许多鱼类种群即使在暂停捕鱼后也没有恢复，”他补充道。A. analyzed分析；B. estimated估计；C. managed管理；D. recovered恢复。根据前文“even after fishing moratoriums”可知，暂停捕鱼的目的是让鱼类种群恢复，但由于年长个体被捕获、文化消失，种群难以恢复。故选D。 55．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他继续说，年长个体的消失可能是许多濒临灭绝物种的驱动因素。A. balancing平衡的；B. driving驱动的，主要的；C. complicating复杂的；D. limiting限制的。根据后文“the loss of these old individuals can be a major contributor to the decline of those species”可知，年长个体的消失是物种衰退的“主要驱动因素”。故选B。 Section B 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 It was a cold night in Washington, D．C．, and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I’d read the signs: “Don’t give money to beggars as most of them are swindlers.” So I shook my head and kept walking.   I wasn’t prepared for a reply, but with no hesitation, he followed me and said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking.   The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn’t been a real beggar. On a freezing cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being. Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn’t help thinking of him. I tried to reason my failure to help by supposing government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you’re not supposed to give money to beggars.   Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean’s Cafe, a local charity service kitchen, feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens for Bean’s?  Plant a row for Bean’s. It’s clean and simple.   We didn’t keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they took something in. It’s food for the spirit and comfort for my conscience.   In April 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program, Plant a Row for Bean’s became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry, which brought the program to national attention. As more and more people participated, new variations cropped up. Many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo for the program. Donations poured in. It was then that I could really stop feeling guilty. 56．The underlined word “swindlers” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______. A．policemen B．writers C．cheaters D．beggars 57．Why did the author think he assumed the worst of a fellow human being? A．Because he didn’t show fair respect to a beggar treating him badly. B．Because he could have helped a hungry man but he passed by. C．Because he believed that no people begged because of real hunger. D．Because he thought that charity work was the government’s duty. 58．How did the author make up for what he had done? A．He set up a local kitchen to help the poor. B．He planted a row of vegetables for charity. C．He called on people to donate money to the Bean’s. D．He initiated the idea of Plant a row for Bean’s. 59．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．The beggar gave up the first time he was turned down by the author. B．The author invented the program inspired by the Anchorage Daily News. C．GWAA expanded the program concept and made it nationwide in 1995. D．The program was later taken over by some seeding companies. 【答案】56．C 57．B 58．D 59．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在一次拒绝一个乞讨者的请求后，内心难安，非常愧疚。利用自己在报社的工作，写了一篇专栏鼓励所有读者在自家花园里种植一排豆子，去帮助那些挨饿的邻居。 【详解】56．词义猜测题。根据第一段“I’d read the signs: “Don’t give money to beggars as most of them are swindlers（我看到标语上写着:“不要给乞丐钱，因为他们大多数都是swindlers）”可知，作者径直走开没有帮助那个乞讨者，因为认为他们是骗子。cheaters是近义词。故选C。 57．推理判断题。根据第一段“So I shook my head and kept walking.（于是我摇了摇头，继续往前走。）”以及第三段“The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn’t been a real beggar. On a freezing cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being.（这个星期剩下的时间里，这件事一直困扰着我。我口袋里有钱，即使他不是一个真正的乞丐，给他一两美元也不会要我的命。在一个寒冷的夜晚，我把一个人往最坏的方面想。）”可知，作者认为他假设了一个人类同伴最坏的一面是因为他本可以帮助一个饥饿的人，但他却走开了。故选B。 58．推理判断题。根据第五段“Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean’s Cafe, a local charity service kitchen, feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens for Bean’s?   Plant a row for Bean’s. It’s clean and simple.   （突然间，我想到了一个主意。Bean ’s Cafe是当地一家慈善服务厨房，每天为数百名饥饿的当地人提供食物。为什么不试着让我所有的读者在他们的花园里为Bean种植一排蔬菜或鲜花呢?种一排豆子。它干净而简单。）”可知，作者提出了“为豆子种植一排”的想法来弥补他所做的事。故选D。 59．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In April 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program, Plant a Row for Bean’s became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry, which brought the program to national attention.（1995年4月，美国园艺作家协会(GWAA)在安克雷奇召开了年度会议，在学习了我们的项目后，“为豆子种一排”变成了“为饥饿者种一排”。当时的想法是让每个成员都写或谈论为饥饿的人种植一排，这使该计划引起了全国的关注。）”可知，1995年，GWAA扩大了该计划的概念，并将其推广到全国。故选C。 B Best Electronic Dictionaries Bottom line Perfect for Students: This pen is perfect for students who are learning other languages.

Reams of papers have been published on the cognitive advantages of multilingualism. Beyond the conversational doors it can open, multilingualism is supposed to improve “executive function” — a loose concept including the ability to ignore distractions, plan complex tasks and update beliefs with new information. Most striking, numerous studies show that bilinguals experience a later onset of dementia, by around four years on average. But some of these studies have failed to replicate, leaving experts questioning whether the effect is real, and if so, what exactly it involves. The good news is that it is never too late to start learning a new language for brain benefits. A 2019 study showed that while moderate language learning in adults does not boost executive function, it does mitigate age-related cognitive decline. The biggest benefits seem to come to those who master a second language fully — usually because they speak two languages natively, or at least on a near-daily basis for a long time. A bit of university French, unfortunately, does not convey the same advantages as deep knowledge and long experience. Frequent language switching may be particularly important: studies of interpreters and translators provide some of the strongest evidence for a bilingual advantage, with them faster at repeatedly switching between math problems like simple addition and subtraction than monolinguals, suggesting better cognitive control. But there is “a forest of complex variables”, says Mark Antoniou of Western Sydney University. Bilinguals differ from monolinguals in many ways: a diplomat’s child raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to bilingualism. Yet in poorer regions, studies find multilingual people show the strongest benefits, with researchers suspecting that bilingualism exercises children’s brains where schooling is insufficient. Age also plays a role: the brain effects of bilingualism are stronger for young children and the elderly than for young adults. Bilingual kids outperform monolinguals in early cognitive development, though monolingual classmates may later catch up. One meta-analysis found 25 of 45 studies showed a bilingual advantage in children under 6, while only 17 did in those aged 6-12. At life’s other end, Ellen Bialystok of York University, a pioneer in the field, compares bilingualism’s cognitive protection to a slice of holey Swiss cheese: other brain - healthy habits like exercise are similar to piling slices, whose holes align differently, offering greater collective protection. All these studies, however, take for granted the undeniable mental superpower of language study: talking to people you could not otherwise understand. Even if you cannot be fluent from infancy, that alone is reason enough to learn a new language. 63．What does the word “mitigate” most probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Accelerate. B．Relieve. C．Ignore. D．Cause. 64．What can we infer about the bilingual advantage? A．Basic second language learning can bring obvious cognitive benefits. B．Monolinguals are slower in solving simple math problems than bilinguals. C．Interpreters’ better cognitive control lies in frequent language shifting. D．Only with native-like fluency can people gain the bilingual advantage. 65．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Bilinguals always have cognitive advantages over monolinguals in all respects. B．Bilingualism can make up for the insufficiency of schooling in poor areas. C．Bilingual kids under 12 show a consistent cognitive advantage over monolinguals. D．Complex variables make it hard to confirm the real cause of bilingual advantages. 66．What does Ellen Bialystok intend to explain by comparing bilingualism to “holey Swiss cheese”? A．Different brain-healthy habits have completely different protective effects on the brain. B．The cognitive protection from bilingualism is far less than that from physical exercise. C．Bilingualism alone cannot provide complete cognitive protection for the brain. D．Bilingualism is the most effective way to protect the brain from cognitive decline. 【答案】63．B 64．C 65．D 66．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨双语能力对大脑是否有益，介绍其认知优势、影响因素及相关研究争议。 63．词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“A 2019 study showed that while moderate language learning in adults does not boost executive function, it does mitigate age-related cognitive decline.(2019年的一项研究表明，虽然成年人适度的语言学习不会提高执行功能，但它确实能mitigate与年龄相关的认知衰退)”可知，前后句为转折关系，前文说不会提高执行功能，转折后应是表达积极作用，即缓解认知衰退，由此猜测mitigate意为”缓解“，与relieve同义。故选B项。 64．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Frequent language switching may be particularly important: studies of interpreters and translators provide some of the strongest evidence for a bilingual advantage, with them faster at repeatedly switching between math problems like simple addition and subtraction than monolinguals, suggesting better cognitive control.(频繁的语言切换可能尤为重要：对口译员和笔译员的研究为双语优势提供了一些最有力的证据，他们在简单加减法等数学问题之间反复切换的速度比单语者更快，这表明他们的认知控制能力更好)”可推断，口译员更好的认知控制能力源于频繁的语言切换。故选C项。 65．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But there is ”a forest of complex variables“, says Mark Antoniou of Western Sydney University. Bilinguals differ from monolinguals in many ways: a diplomat’s child raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to bilingualism.(西悉尼大学的马克・安东尼奥说，这里存在“大量复杂的变量”。双语者与单语者在很多方面都不同：在国外长大的外交官子女可能拥有与双语能力无关的认知优势)”可知，复杂的变量使得很难确定双语优势的真正原因。故选D项。 66．推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Ellen Bialystok of York University, a pioneer in the field, compares bilingualism’s cognitive protection to a slice of holey Swiss cheese: other brain-healthy habits like exercise are similar to piling slices, whose holes align differently, offering greater collective protection.(该领域的先驱、约克大学的艾伦・比亚利斯托克将双语能力的认知保护比作一片有洞的瑞士奶酪：其他有益大脑健康的习惯，如锻炼，就像叠放奶酪片，它们的洞排列不同，能提供更强的集体保护)”可推断，艾伦・比亚利斯托克想通过这个比喻说明，仅靠双语能力无法为大脑提供完全的认知保护，需要结合其他有益大脑的习惯。故选C项。 Section C Directions: Read the following passages.

Not feeling socially connected can make you stupider and kill you. Loneliness can lead to heart attack, stroke (中风) and diabetes (肥胖症) .

Challenging your beliefs strengthens your mind. (音乐课程增加智慧。挑战你的信念会增强你的心智。)”可知，此处以上音乐课为例说明要挑战自己，挑战自己能给自己带来好处，C项Learning another language can keep your mind sharp.(学习另一种语言能让你思维敏捷。)符合语境，因为这也是挑战自己的一种方式。故选C项。 70．根据上文“Humor is a good way to cause laughter.(幽默是引起笑声的一种好方式。)”可知，设空处与上一句为并列关系，所以F选项Just thinking about funny moments or things can help a lot.(想想有趣的时刻或事情也会引起笑声)，符合句意，其中funny moments和上文 laughter对应。故选F项。 IV. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. As a child, I was regularly told off for swinging on my chair, and fidgeting through story time. Eventually, I learned to resist the desire to fidget. Today, I can sit still for hours with barely a shuffle. It turns out, however, that I may have been better-off before. Let s dig a bit more into the science. Fidgeting is defined as moving or acting impatiently or nervously. However, James Levine, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, says it is better defined as a neurologically programmed rhythmic-movement of a body part. In other words, the fidget factor is an outward sign of a natural desire to move. While no evidence shows that fidgeting directly leads to a longer life, studies have shown fidgeting can help. For one, fidgeting may help us cope with stress. In one study, volunteers were put in a stressful situation, a simulated job interview followed by a mental arithmetic (算术) task. Researchers found those who fidgeted by displaying “displacement behavior,” such as scratching, biting their lips or touching their face, found the experience less stressful. Meanwhile, fidgeting may also help lower some of the other risks that come with a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle. Feet tapping while sitting, for example, can protect the arteries (动脉) in-legs-and potentially help prevent related diseases. “If you’re sedentary, that’s not good for you. But if you’re sedentary and fidget, it reduces your risk of long-term ill health,” says Janet Cade at the University of Leeds. The findings raise questions about whether the way we perceive people who fidget should change. Fidgeting is often seen as rude or an indication that someone is not paying attention. But if these simple movements are good for our health, maybe they should be indulged. 71.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 I was told not to fidget in my childhood, but these small movements carry benefits. Defined as restless movement, fidgeting actually reflects our natural urge to move. Fidgeting may relieve stress and promote longevity as simple movement mitigates the diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, we should shift our attitude and recognize its hidden health value in these actions. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说小时候作者被告知不要动来动去，但这些细微的动作其实有益健康。所谓“小动作”，即不安的肢体活动，实际上反映了我们天生的运动欲望。适度的小动作有助于缓解压力，并延长寿命，因为简单的活动可以减轻久坐生活方式带来的各种疾病。因此，我们应该转变观念，认识到这些行为背后隐藏的健康价值。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①As a child, I was regularly told off for swinging on my chair, and fidgeting through story time.

Q: What can we infer from the conversation? 11-13【答案】 DCB 【听力材料】 What makes a person famous? This is a mystery that many people have carefully thought about. All kinds of myths surround the lives of well-known people. Most people are familiar with the works of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest English writers of the 16th and 17th centuries. Yet how many know Shakespeare, the person, the man behind the works? After centuries of research, scholars are still trying to discover Shakespeare’s personal history. It is not easily found in his writings. Authors of the time could not protect their works. An acting company, for example, could change a play if they wanted to. Nowadays, writers have copyrights that protect their work. Many myths arose about Shakespeare. Some said he had no formal education. Others believed that he began his career by tending the horses of wealthy men. All of these myths are interesting, but are they true? Probably not. Shakespeare’s father was a respected man in Stratford-on-Avon, a member of the town council. He sent young William to grammar school. Most people of Elizabethan times did not continue beyond grammar school; so, Shakespeare did have, at least, an average education. Some parts of Shakespeare’s life will always remain unknown. The Great London Fire of 1666 burned many important documents that could have been a source of clues. We will always be left with many questions and few facts. Questions: 11.What does the speaker say about William Shakespeare? 12.What do we learn about Shakespeare’s father? 13.Why does the speaker say parts of Shakespeare’s life will remain a mystery? 14-16【答案】ABB 【听力材料】 Wherever you go and for whatever reason, it is important to be safe. While the majority of people you will meet when travelling are sure to be friendly and welcoming, there are dangers. Theft being the most common. Just as in your home country, do not expect everyone you meet to be friendly and helpful. It’s important to prepare for your trip in advance and to take precautions while you are travelling. As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork. You don’t want to get to your destination, only to find you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport isn’t valid anymore. Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travels, you will be able to get treatment. If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure you have an international driver’s license. When you get to your destination, use official transport. Always go to bus and taxi stands. Don’t accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift. If there is no meter in the taxi, agree on a price before you get in. If you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while travelling, make sure you can lock the door of your room from the inside. Finally, remember to smile. It’s the friendliest and most sincere form of communication, and is sure to be understood in any part of the world! Questions: 14. What is mentioned as a most common danger when people go travelling abroad? 15. What is the most important thing to do when you prepare for your trip abroad? 16. What does the speaker suggest you do when you arrive at your destination? 17-20【答案】CBDC 【听力材料】 M: Hello. Yes? W: Hello. Is that the sales department? M: Yes, it is. W: Oh, well.

W: Ah, I don’t know. What’s the difference? M: Well, the 45 costs 15 pounds more. W: Mm, so what’s the total price then? M: It’s 387 pounds. W: Does that include value-added tax? M: Oh, I’m not sure. Most of the prices do. Yes, I think it does. W: Mm, what are the boards actually made of? M: Oh, I don’t know. I think it’s a sort of plastic stuff these days. It’s white anyway. W: Mm, and how long does it take to deliver? M: Oh, I couldn’t really say. It depends on how much work we’ve got and how many other orders there are to send out, you know. W: OK, now we also want some drawing pens, ink and rulers, and some drawing paper. M: Oh dear. The girl who takes all those supplies isn’t here this morning. So I can’t take those orders for you. I only do the equipment you see. W: OK, well, perhaps I’ll ring back tomorrow. M: So do you want the drawing board then? W: Oh, I have to think about it. Thanks very much. I’ll let you know. Goodbye. M: Thank you. Goodbye. Questions: 17. What is the woman’s purpose in making the phone call? 18. What do we learn about the man from the conversation? 19. What does the man say about delivery? 20.
