On one hike,I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten logs, suspended high above rushing rapids.I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words.Fixing my eyes on her boots,I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow,I made it across,flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief. Later,after spotting bear tracks,we were told to make loud noises,which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly,time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered,"There's a bear."I looked up in disbelief and saw not one,but two,about ten meters above us-the brown mother in front,her cub behind. Though scared speechless,I couldn't help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting.I wondered if it would be my last memory.As they started towards us,we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles.Taken aback,they stopped,and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning,after a quiet,thoughtful walk through the forest,we were asked to bring back ameaningful"stick,rock,and leaf to share what would"stick"with us,what rocked,"and what we wouldleaf behind.The bond of friendship would stick with me.Women supporting one another truly rocked.And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration,praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude,and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years.Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being "over the hill."Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal-even if just for participation. 21.How did the author cross the bridge? A.By taking mindful steps. B.By rushing across it bravely. C.By using her sense of direction. D.By having the guide drag her over. 22.Why did the bears leave? A.They were attracted by the natural setting B.They were afraid of the noise of the rapids C.They were surprised at the group's actions.D.They were threatened by the guide's rocks. 23.What does the underlined phrase"over the hill"in the last paragraph mean? A.Beyond physical limits. B.Past the peak of youth. C.Out of place in society. D.Too high to go down. 第3页/共11页 B Know how much to tip New rules of gratuities The pandemic severely affected tip-dependent workers-some lost jobs entirely,others changed customer interactions.Tips dropped,causing widespread hardship.Many customers, however,gave more due to the sudden risks and challenges faced by essential service staff.

As for specific situations,here's what the experts recommend: FOOD AND DRINKS Restaurant workers Old rule:Leave a tip only when you dine in. New rule:Always tip,even for takeout. Tip:15 to 20 percent when you dine in,and 10 to 15 percent on takeout or delivery orders. HOME DELIVERIES Package delivery drivers Old rule:Don't tip. New rule:Show appreciation if you get deliveries more than once a week. Tip:Drinks,snacks,or $5 to $20 if a package is particularly heavy or large.UPS tells drivers to decline tips unless a customer insists.And FedEx prohibits employees from accepting cash or cash equivalents. Flower delivery drivers Old rule:The person who places the order tips those who deliver flowers(and other specialty items). New rule:You can't assume the gift giver already tipped,so if you're lucky enough to get such a delivery,pass the goodwill along in the form of a tip. 第4页/共11页 Tip:$5 to $10 PERSONAL SERVICES Ride-share drivers Old rule:Tip in cash New rule:Ask your driver.The Lyft and Uber apps let you add gratuities,but some drivers prefer cash. Tip:15 to 20 percent. 24.New rules of tipping are recommended because_ A.some old tipping standards can't help some service workers out now B.customers dismiss the old standards as unfair to themselves C.the pandemic has driven many businesses to financial ruin D.some people have to work from home without interaction 25.Which of the following is TRUE? A.The more you tip,the better service you will receive. B.Writing a review online is highly recommended to express gratitude C.Tip every worker fairly in case some may keep the money to himself.

Low-frequency sound waves called infrasound that travel great distances through the atmosphere are already used to monitor active volcanoes from afar.Now some researchers in this field have switched focus from fire to ice:dangerous blocks snapping off glaciers.Previous work has analyzed 第5页/共11页 infrasound from snow avalanches but never ice,says Boise State University geophysicist Jeffrey Johnson,who was not involved with the new study but collaborated with the lead author on previous work."This was different,"Johnson says."A signature of a new material has been detected with infrasound." Usually glaciers move far too slowly to generate an infrasound signal,which researchers pick up using detectors that track slight changes in air pressure.But a collapse-a sudden,rapid breaking of ice from the glacier's main body-is a prolific infrasound producer.Glacial collapses drive ice avalanches,which pose an increasing threat to people in mountainous regions as rising temperatures weaken large fields of ice.A glacier"can become detached from the ground due to melting,causing bigger break-offs,"says University of Florence geologist Emanuele Marchetti,lead author of the new study.As the threat grows,scientists seek new ways to monitor and detect such collapses Researchers often use radar to track ice avalanches,which is precise but expensive and can monitor only one specific location and neighboring avalanche paths.Infrasound,Marchetti says,is cheaper and can detect break-off events around a much broader area as well as multiple avalanches across a mountain.It is challenging,however,to separate a signal into its components (such as traffic noises,individual avalanches and nearby earthquakes)without additional measurements,says ETH Zurich glaciologist Malgorzata Chmiel."The model used by Marchetti is a first approximation for this," she says.Isolating the relevant signal helps the researchers monitor an ice avalanche's speed,path and volume from afar using infrasound. Marchetti and his colleagues are now working to improve their detectors to pick up more signals across at-risk regions in Europe,and they have set up collaborations around the continent to better understand signals that collapsing glaciers produce.They are also refining their mathematical analysis to figure out each ice cascade's physical details 27.What can we learn from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3? A.Infrasound has a major role to play in discovering new materials B.Glaciers themselves usually produce detectable infrasound signals. C.Researchers are trying to use infrasound in detecting ice avalanches. D.The use of infrasound in monitoring snow avalanches is a new method. 28.Which is an advantage of infrasound over radar? A.The combination with other relevant signals. B.The accuracy in locating a certain avalanche. C.The sensitivity in tracking air pressure changes D.The ability in picking up signals in wider areas. 29.The underlined word "this"in Paragraph 4 refers to A.distinguishing different components of a signal 第6页/共11页 B.detecting multiple avalanches at the same time C.calculating the speed and path ofice avalanches D.monitoring the specific location of ice break-offs 30.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.From Fire to Ice B.Glacier Whispers C.Secret of Ice Avalanches D.Silent Cracks from a Distance D That everyone's too busy these days is a cliche.But one specific complaint is made especially bitterly:There's never any time to read.A professional reader,the novelist and critic Tim Parks,wrote in a New York Review ofBooks essay:"Every moment of serious reading has to be fought for,planned for.” What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don't seem sufficient.The web's full of articles offering tips on making time to read:"Give up TV"or"Carry a book with you at all times."But in my experience,using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn't work.Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning-or else you're so exhausted that a challenging book's the last thing you need.The modern mind,Tim Parks writes,"is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication...It is not simply that one is interrupted, it is that one is actually inclined to interruption."Deep reading requires not just time,but a special kind of time which can't be obtained merely by becoming more efficient. In fact,"becoming more efficient"is part of the problem.Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally,judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal.Immersive reading,by contrast,depends on being willing to risk inefficiency,goallessness,even time-wasting.Try to slot it in as a to-do list item and you'll manage only goal-focused reading-useful,sometimes,but not the most fulfilling kind."The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,"writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time,and"we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles(days,hours, minutes)as they pass,for if they get by without being filled,we will have wasted them."No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book. So what does work?Perhaps surprisingly,scheduling regular times for reading.You'd think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set,but in fact,Eberle notes,such ritualistic()behaviour helps us"step outside time's flow"into "soul time."You could limit distractions by reading only physical books,or on single-purpose e-readers."Carry a book with you at all times"can actually work,too- providing you dip in often enough,so that reading becomes the habitual state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business,before dropping back down.On a really good day,it no longer feels as if you're"making time to read,"but just reading,and making time for everything else. 第7页/共11页 31.The usual time-management techniques don't work because A.what they overlook is the mind's tendency to communicate B.what challenging books demand is time free from work C.what they can offer does not ease the modern mind D.what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed 32.The "empty bottles"metaphor illustrates that people feel a pressure to A.expand their to-do lists B.justify each moment C.carry their plans through D.pursue carefree reading 33.“Carry a book with you at all times'”can work if A.reading becomes your primary business of the day B.all the daily business has been promptly dealt with C.you are able to drop back to business after reading D.each reading session lasts a sufficiently long time 34.What would the author probably agree with? A.Deep reading is a reward for prior productivity. B.Regular reading improves efficiency and leads to soul time. C.Instrumental attitude can get in the way of immersive reading. D.Full absorption in books requires rejecting any mind-set. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The illusion of explanatory depth (IOED)refers to people's tendency to believe they understand something far better than they actually do.35 Imagine an alien asks you to describe how a zipper (functions.You've used zippers countless times,on jackets,bags,or shoes.Confidently,you start:"You pull the slider up,and the teeth interlock!"But as the alien goes deeper-How do the teeth match?What stops them from separating sideways?Why does the slider move smoothly?"you get stuck.To think that a zipper is such a simple everyday item,and yet you actually know much less than you've predicted.This puzzles you greatly. 36 This gap is known as explanatory shallowness. On the whole,IOED leads to overestimated understanding of complex issues and emotion-driven decisions.37 Studies reveal that individuals with stronger opinions on topics like genetically modified foods frequently possess the least knowledge about them.Similarly,it can also make people less receptive to other political opinions.One study at MIT looked at whether getting people to explain 第8页/共11页 a political policy in detail-thus exposing the illusion of explanatory depth-would make them more open to changing their bias when later presented with a persuasive argument.They found while participants did rate their understanding lower,they were actually less likely to shift their position, even more committed to their original stand. 38 Such misleading content is often fueled by overconfidence in shallow knowledge To avoid it,practice explanatory self-testing:explain ideas clearly before forming strong opinions, identify knowledge gaps,and admit intellectual shortage by acknowledging uncertainty.Prioritize depth over strong beliefs,seek diverse perspectives,avoid jumping to conclusions,and confirm claims. 39 A.Recognizing IOED is critical to fighting against the spread of misinformation. B.In reality,trying to unpack details reveals our knowledge is shallower than we think. C.Such overconfidence in shallow understanding often leads to one-sided judgments in daily life. D.Most people fail to notice this bias until they encounter situations that require professional skills E.They often come face to face with their limited understanding only when asked to explain further F.This encourages informed decisions and replaces performative expertise with collaborative learning G.This cognitive bias fuels misplaced confidence in certain causes,often with minimal factual grounding. 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 We all love to criticize,but unfortunately,we also hate being criticized.We freely post and comment on others,but feel annoyed at the way others assess us,both online and in person.The world seems unlikely to change anytime soon.Fortunately,though,each of us can change how we give and take criticism,which will make us less likely to harm others,more resistant to being angry,and better able to benefit from feedback-even when it is negative. Criticism is defined as judgment of the merits()and faults of something or someone in written or spoken form.Technically,criticism can include praise,but that isn't what concerns us here.What annoys us is criticism of the negative variety,even when well-intentioned-so-called constructive criticism,which means to provide guidance so we can improve.Worst of all is destructive criticism, which aims to cause hurt or damage. The culture of criticism isn't going away.The only way to flourish (in it,and despite it,is to adopt new habits of getting and giving critical feedback.One rule is to assume that criticism,even 第9页/共11页 when it seems personal,is not actually about you personally.When we receive criticism,we make it personal in two ways.First,we may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism.Second,we tend to consider the criticism a judgment on our natural abilities,rather than on our performance. Interestingly,even among young children,research shows that viewing criticism as a judgment on one's abilities can lead to lower self-worth,lower positive mood,and less persistence at tasks. If taking criticism is particularly hard for you,you are not alone.However,taking criticism badly is more embarrassing,ultimately,than the criticism itself.If we do the work to learn to accept negative feedback,we will be much better off. 40.What will be the results of changing the way we give and take criticism? 41.What is the difference between constructive and destructive criticism? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. Children who receive criticism have lower self-worth because they take criticism as a judgment on their performance. 43.What benefit(s)would you gain from learning to accept negative feedback?(In about 40 words) 第二节（20分) 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的英国笔友J在你们学校的网站看到你们学校组织了 c我的高三主题词(My Word of Senior Three)”的学生活动，发来邮件询问你的高三主题词。请你 用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1.你的主题词是什么； 2.你选该词的理由。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours, LiHua (请务必将作文写在答题卡指定区域内) 第10页/共11页 参考答案 第一部分知识运用（共两节，30分） 第一节完形（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） CACBA BDCDB 第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） falling Determined which have turmned was riding for had become soared to restore what 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，38分) A:ACB B:ABD C:CDAB D:DBAC E:EBGAF 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 40.We will be less likely to harm others,more resistant to being angry,and better able to benefit from feedback-even when it is negative. 41.Constructive criticism means to provide guidance so we can improve,while destructive criticism aims to cause hurt or damage. 42.Children who receive criticism have lower self-worth beccuse they take criticism as a judgment on their performance.
