新高考英语试题的命题以考查学生核心素养为中心，以语篇话题为引领，不断创设命题的新情境，避免学生形成定式思维，屏蔽教师让学生背模板的死板应试思维和方法。
培养创新型人才是教育的重要任务，选拔创新人才也是高考重要的目的。“创新”将成为新高考命题的重要方向。阅读理解A篇，以“为全球问题制定富有想象力的解决方案的项目”为命题情境，潜移默化地培养学生的创新能力和思想，体现了高考选拔创新人才的命题思路。摒弃了阅读A必须考查生活应用文的固化思想。
新高考反对“固化的命题模式”，将以灵活的命题素材和情境，体现高考灵活性。阅读填空“7选5”常以说明文进行命题，但为避免“新八股”的教条模式，记叙文出现的可能性也比较大。例如本卷中的阅读七选五。
科学技术的发展是创新的具体体现，也是增强民族自豪感的事实依据。因此，科技发展的成果有可能出现在语法填空中。例如本卷中的语法填空。
学业水平考试的是高中生的毕业考试，高考是国家选拔创新人才的考试。学考和高考分开考的目的很明确。高考就是选拔性考试，通过高考英语试题，考查学生的推理判断能力和逻辑思维能力及品质是重要导向。
通过阅读理解中，预测后文发展的推理判断题是最具挑战性的推理题，在新高考命题中很可能会出现。判断依据是：我们中学课本中每个单元都有这样的阅读预测Predict what the text will be about。因此，预测文章走势的推理判断题，有可能出现在高考中。例如，本卷中的阅读理解B中的27．What would be probably the content of the paragraph that follows
2023年高考命题中“弘扬优秀传统文化，用英语讲好中国故事”依然是很重要的话题，预测2023年新高考地区将以语法填空和应用文写作的形式进行考查，语法填空的可能性较大，难度中等偏下，例如中的应用文写作。

Good morning, students. We have an important announcement to make this morning. Mr. Jenkins, your physical education teacher, will be leaving us after 25 years at Evergreen High School. Together, we have shared many great memories here, and he is a big part of our school’s history. He led the boys’ basketball team to a championship the last two years and has also helped out with other sports programs. Although we are sad to see him go, we are happy for him, too. He has been a fantastic coach, a teacher, and more importantly, a good friend. He has told us that this decision has been very hard for him. However, his mother has become ill, and it is the right decision for his family. Unfortunately, Mr. Jenkins will not be able to end the year with us, as he is traveling back to his hometown this Friday. This means we won’t have time for a proper goodbye celebration, but we hope you will all visit him before he leaves. And finally, to show respect for our good friend, we will be naming the gymnasium “Jenkins’ Gym” at the end of the month. Taking over his duties until summer vacation will be our math teacher, Mr. Ryan. We also have a goodbye card you can sign at the office. Thank you for your attention and have a good day.

One September night a family had gathered round their fireplace. Up the chimney roared the fire, and brightened the room with its broad flames. The faces of the father and mother had a sober gladness; the children laughed; and the aged grandmother sat knitting in the warmest place. This family of mountaineers was situated in the Notch of the White Hills, where the wind was sharp throughout the year, and pitilessly cold in the winter. Not just that, but a mountain towered above their heads, so steep, that the stones would often roll down its sides and wake the whole house at midnight.
Though they lived in such a remote place, these people held daily conversation with the world. Some travelers, would pause here and pay only for food and accommodation, but meet with a homely kindness beyond all price. When the footsteps were heard, therefore, between the outer door and the inner one, the whole family rose up, grandmother, children, and all, as if about to welcome someone who belonged to them, and whose fate was linked with theirs.
The door was opened by a young man. His face at first wore the sad expression, almost hopelessness, but soon brightened up when he saw the kindly warmth of his reception. He felt his heart spring forward to meet them all, from the old woman, who wiped a chair with her apron, to the little child that held out its arms to him.
“Ah, this fire is the right thing!” cried he, “The biting wind almost froze me. But when I saw this good fire, and all your cheerful faces, I felt as if you were waiting for my arrival. So I shall sit down, and make myself at home.”
After supper, the young man talked freely, feeling himself a member of the family. He was of a proud, yet lonely spirit, so trusting others was not easy for him. However, that night, the educated youth poured out his heart before the simple mountaineers.
24．What can we learn about the family from the passage
A．They charged travelers lot for food.
B．They were poor but hardworking.
C．They lived in a cold and dangerous spot.
D．They remained cut off from the world.
25．What might be the young man’s purpose to drop by the family
A．To talk to the family. B．To seek shelter from cold.
C．To keep company with the family. D．To know about the mountain.
26．What was the main reason why the young man felt at ease
A．The welcoming fire. B．The comfortable chair.
C．The delicious supper. D．The warmth of the family.
27．What would be probably the content of the paragraph that follows
A．The mountain’s condition. B．The family’s life.
C．Mountaineers’ characters. D．The young man’s story.
【答案】24．C 25．B 26．D 27．D

How are you feeling today Often when we ask people that question, they reply ‘not bad’, or ‘could be worse’. But what would make us feel ‘perfect’ Maybe we could live better by being healthier, less stressed, more motivated—but how
Of course there are many ways of improving our mental health, but sometimes there are small and simple solutions to helping improve our wellbeing. It’s something the TV programme Easy Ways to Live Well has been looking at. It suggested several ‘health hacks’ which the programme’s presenters tried and gave their ‘seal of approval’. And maybe they could help us too.
Firstly, to deal with putting on weight and to cut the calories, the programme found sniffing (嗅) peppermint (薄荷) stops our longing for a snack. Presenter, chef and writer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says “a scientific theory called ‘mutual competition’ shows that a strong smell can distract our brain from the food we’re thinking about.”
If your addiction to your smartphone is getting you down, it’s suggested that turning your phone screen grey helps you reduce screen time because a black and white screen becomes less attractive to look at. With recent studies showing our phones can make us 26% less productive and increase our stress, it seems like a no-brainer to try this ‘dim’ idea.
Fancy a swim in ice-cold water Well, the TV programme found a daily dip in freezing water gets you used to the stress of doing it and therefore prepares you for other life stresses. And another way to ‘chill out’ is to leave your smartphone at home, immerse yourself in a forest, and breathe in the fresh air. Forest bathing is the perfect tonic for the stresses of urban life.
Other life-improving ideas included things such as singing to reduce pain and walking around more to get away from our sedentary (久坐不动) lives. But whatever way we choose to adopt, it seems any change to our lifestyle can help improve our body and mind.
28．What’s the function of a series of questions in the first paragraph
A．To provide more background information. B．To provoke thinking and bring out the topic.
C．To expect readers can give specific answers. D．To attract readers to focus on physical health.
29．What’s the author’s attitude towards the TV programme Easy Ways to Live Well
A．Favorable. B．Unclear. C．Negative. D．Critical.
30．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage
A．The strong smell of peppermint is bound to cut the calories.
B．To remove life stresses, you must have a swim in freezing water.
C．Making the phone screen colorful makes us more focused and efficient.
D．An ice-water swim and forest bathing have the similar effect on stresses.
31．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To tell readers how to be perfect. B．To introduce a popular TV programme.
C．To offer some ways to better well-being. D．To get rid of some bad habits in daily life.
【答案】28．B 29．A 30．D 31．C
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些可以提高幸福感的方法。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段“How are you feeling today Often when we ask people that question, they reply ‘not bad’, or ‘could be worse’. But what would make us feel ‘perfect’ Maybe we could live better by being healthier, less stressed, more motivated—but how (你今天感觉怎么样？通常当我们问别人这个问题时，他们的回答是“还行”，或者“可能更糟”。但是什么会让我们感觉“完美”呢？也许我们可以通过更健康、更少压力、更有动力来生活得更好——但怎么做呢？)”可推知，第一段一连串问题的作用是激发思考，引出话题。故选B。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段“Of course there are many ways of improving our mental health, but sometimes there are small and simple solutions to helping improve our wellbeing. It’s something the TV programme Easy Ways to Live Well has been looking at. It suggested several ‘health hacks’ which the programme’s presenters tried and gave their ‘seal of approval’. And maybe they could help us too.(当然，有很多方法可以改善我们的心理健康，但有时也有一些小而简单的解决方案来帮助改善我们的幸福。这是电视节目《轻松生活之道》一直在研究的问题。它提出了几个“健康小妙招”，该节目的主持人尝试了一下，并得到了他们的“认可”。也许他们也能帮到我们)”可推知，作者认为电视节目《轻松生活之道》的健康小妙招可以帮助我们改善心理健康，因此推断作者持支持态度。故选A。
30．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Fancy a swim in ice-cold water Well, the TV programme found a daily dip in freezing water gets you used to the stress of doing it and therefore prepares you for other life stresses. And another way to ‘chill out’ is to leave your smartphone at home, immerse yourself in a forest, and breathe in the fresh air. Forest bathing is the perfect tonic for the stresses of urban life.(想在冰冷的水中游泳吗？这个电视节目发现，每天泡在冰冷的水中会让你习惯这样做的压力，从而为你应对其他生活压力做好准备。另一种“放松”的方法是把智能手机留在家里，让自己沉浸在森林里，呼吸新鲜空气。森林浴是缓解城市生活压力的最佳良药)”可推知，冰水游泳和森林浴都能够缓解压力，对解决压力问题有相似的效果。故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段“How are you feeling today Often when we ask people that question, they reply ‘not bad’, or ‘could be worse’. But what would make us feel ‘perfect’ Maybe we could live better by being healthier, less stressed, more motivated—but how (你今天感觉怎么样？通常当我们问别人这个问题时，他们的回答是“还行”，或者“可能更糟”。但是什么会让我们感觉“完美”呢？也许我们可以通过更健康、更少压力、更有动力来生活得更好——但怎么做呢？)”以及第二段“Of course there are many ways of improving our mental health, but sometimes there are small and simple solutions to helping improve our wellbeing.(当然，有很多方法可以改善我们的心理健康，但有时也有一些小而简单的解决方案来帮助改善我们的幸福)”可推知，这篇文章的目的是提供一些提高幸福感的方法。故选C。

People often call music a universal language, but do certain songs really cause the same mental images in our minds Scientists at Princeton find that while music absolutely can stimulate(激发)similar mental experiences, the results also strongly suggest culture is a major factor.
A total of 622 people took part in the study. All of the volunteers came from one of three locations: two suburban college towns in the US (one in Arkansas and the other in Michigan), or the rural Chinese village of Dimen. It’s worth noting that the main language in Dimen is Dong, a tonal language unrelated to the official language of China. Locals there have little contact with Western media or culture at all. All participants listened to the exact same 32 “musical stimuli”— which were 60-second cuts of instrumental music. Half of these pieces came from Western music while the rest came from Chinese music.
After hearing, researchers asked the groups about the images they saw in their heads while listening. Incredibly, people from Arkansas and Michigan often described very similar stories, even using the exact same words frequently. Dimen listeners, on the other hand, envisioned stories that were similar to each other but quite different from the American listeners. More specifically, one track led t o Americans seeing a cowboy in the hot desert surveying an empty town. Meanwhile, Chinese participants imagined a man in ancient times reflecting on the loss of a loved one.
“There’s something about the results that’s really surprising, especially because people encounter music in 2022 often in a solitary way, over headphones. But it turns out, it’s still a shared experience, almost like a shred dream, although not universally shared, ”says Elizabeth Margulis, the study author.
The results paint a more complex picture of music’s power. Music can generate remarkably similar stories in listeners’ minds, but it depends on a common set of cultural experiences. So while we imagine music can bring people together, the opposite can also be true-it can distinguish between sets of people with a different background or culture.
32．What is the probable reason for Dimen being selected for the study
A．Its unique cultural background. B．Its close contact with US.
C．Its complex language system. D．Its long tradition of music.
33．What were the participants required to do after listening to music
A．Exchange their comments on the scene.
B．Imagine musicians’ original inspiration.
C．Describe the picture forming in mind.
D．Recall personal music-related stories.
34．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 4
A．Strange. B．Individual. C．Outdated. D．Polite.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Unbelievable Music’s Effects Go beyond Cultures
B．Problem Solved! How Music Brings Us All Together
C．Amazing! Cultures Determine Our Preference for Music
D．Universal Language Culture Matters When We Hear Music
【答案】32．A 33．C 34．B 35．D
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了普林斯顿大学的科学家们发现，虽然音乐绝对可以刺激类似的心理体验，但研究结果也强烈表明，文化是一个主要因素。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段中“It’s worth noting that the main language in Dimen is Dong, a tonal language unrelated to the official language of China. (值得注意的是，Dimen的主要语言是侗语，一种与中国官方语言无关的声调语言)”可推知，Dimen被选中参加这项研究的可能原因是它具有独特的文化背景，故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“After hearing, researchers asked the groups about the images they saw in their heads while listening.(听完之后，研究人员询问这些小组在听的时候在他们的脑海中看到的图像)”可知，在听完音乐后，参与者被要求描述脑海中形成的画面。故选C。
34．词句猜测题。由划线单词下文“over headphones.(通过耳机)”和划线单词所在句子“There’s something about the results that’s really surprising, especially because people encounter music in 2022 often in a solitary way(这个结果真的很令人惊讶尤其是因为人们在2022年经常以一种solitary方式接触音乐)”可知，人们只是通过耳机来接触音乐，这是一种单独接触音乐的方式。由此可知，划线单词solitary意为“单独的”，与B项“Individual(单独的)”意思一样。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“People often call music a universal language, but do certain songs really cause the same mental images in our minds Scientists at Princeton find that while music absolutely can stimulate (激发) similar mental experiences, the results also strongly suggest culture is a major factor.(人们常说音乐是一种通用的语言，但是某些歌曲真的会在我们的脑海中产生同样的意象吗？普林斯顿大学的科学家们发现，虽然音乐绝对可以刺激类似的心理体验，但研究结果也强烈表明，文化是一个主要因素)”可知，文章主要介绍了人们常说音乐是一种通用的语言，但是普林斯顿大学的科学家们发现，虽然音乐绝对可以刺激类似的心理体验，但研究结果也强烈表明，文化是一个主要因素。由此可知，D项“通用语言？当我们听到音乐时，文化很重要”适合做文章标题。故选D。

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国过去十年在月球探索的成就。
56．考查名词。句意：探索月球是我们中国人多年来追求的梦想，我们为过去十年取得的成就感到自豪。分析句子结构可知，空前是冠词the，所以空处应填名词，通读全文可知，此处指下文三个阶段分别取得的成就，用复数形式。故填achievements。
57．考查冠词。句意：2013年12月2日，作为三期探月工程第二阶段的关键部分，中国启动了嫦娥三号探月任务。分析句子结构可知，嫦娥3号，作为探月工程三个阶段中第二阶段的“一个”关键部分。表示泛指，用不定冠词，空后key为辅音音素开头，应该用a。故填a。
58．考查副词。句意：经过约12天的战斗，嫦娥三号探测器成功在月球土壤上软着陆，成为中国首个登月航天器。分析句子结构可知，此处修饰后面的谓语动词soft-landed，所以空处应填副词，success的副词形式是successfully。故填successfully。
59．考查非谓语动词。句意：中国是近40年来第一个实现这一目标的国家。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词is，所以reach应该用非谓语形式，the first country后面用通常动词不定式to reach作后置定语，也可以强调已经达成这样的目标，用动词不定式的完成式to have reached。故填to reach或者to have reached。
60．考查定语从句关系词。句意：2018年12月8日，中国向月球背面发射了第四枚月球探测器“嫦娥四号”，该探测器始终背对着地球。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是非限制性定语从句，后面谓语动词faces缺少主语，即上文的the far side of the moon，因此用关系代词which。故填which。
61．考查非谓语动词。句意：在26天的旅程中，无人飞船在月球南部盆地软着陆，开始了人类对月球鲜为人知的背面的首次近距离观察。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词made，所以start应该用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是the unmanned spacecraft，两者间是主动关系，所以用现在分词，作结果状语。故填starting。
62．考查动词时态。句意：该任务的核心部件“玉兔二号”月球车到目前为止已经在月球上工作了近1400天，比任何其他月球车都要长。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以work作本句谓语，根据后面的时间状语so far可知，谓语动词应该用现在完成时，主语是core component为第三人称单数。故填has worked。
63．考查形容词比较级。句意：该任务的核心部件“玉兔二号”月球车到目前为止已经在月球上工作了近1400天，比任何其他月球车都要长。根据空后的than可知，空处应该用形容词的比较级。故填longer。
64．考查动词时态语态。句意：2020年11月24日，嫦娥五号机器人探测器从文昌发射升空，并于12月1日登陆月球。根据前面的时间状语及后面并列的谓语动词时态可知，本题应该用一般过去时，并且嫦娥5号是“被发射”，因此用一般过去时的被动语态，主语the Chang’e 5 robotic mission为第三人称单数。故填was launched
65．考查介词。句意：该任务于12月17日将1731克月球岩石和土壤带回地球。固定搭配bring...(back) to...“把……带回……”。故填to。

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait – and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother – we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order.
More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.
One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard.
参考范文1
Paragraph 1: One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.
At first, Squirt was hesitant, but he soon realized that they were friendly and he started to play with them. The girls and I watched in amazement as he chased them up and down the tree trunks and branches. Kaytlin was thrilled to see Squirt making friends and becoming more confident. We knew that this was a great sign and that he was ready to be on his own.
Paragraph 2: One night, Squirt didn't come back to our house and it rained hard.
We were worried about him and thought that he might have gotten lost again, but the next morning he appeared at the door, soaking wet and shivering. Kaytlin took him in and dried him off, and we all breathed a sigh of relief. Over the next few days, Squirt started coming back to visit us less and less, until finally he stopped coming altogether. Although we missed him, we knew that this was a good thing and that he was finally able to live his life in the wild, where he belonged. We will always remember the time we spent with Squirt and the lessons we learned about the importance of taking care of our wildlife.
参考范文2
Paragraph 1: One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.
The family of gray squirrels was very curious about Squirt, and soon they were playing together. The girls were overjoyed to see him interacting with other squirrels. They realized that Squirt was finally ready to be on his own. They had done their job of taking care of him and now it was time to let him go. They knew that it would be hard to say goodbye to Squirt, but they also knew that it was the right thing to do.
Paragraph 2: One night, Squirt didn't come back to our house and it rained hard.
The girls were worried about Squirt when he didn't come back that night, especially since it had rained hard. But the next day he appeared on the branch of a tree near our house. He seemed to be saying goodbye to us before he disappeared into the forest. The girls were so happy to see him again, but they knew that they would never see him again. They felt a mix of sadness and joy. They were sad to see Squirt go, but they were also happy that he was finally back where he belonged - in the wild.绝密★启用前

新高考英语试题的命题以考查学生核心素养为中心，以语篇话题为引领，不断创设命题的新情境，避免学生形成定式思维，屏蔽教师让学生背模板的死板应试思维和方法。
培养创新型人才是教育的重要任务，选拔创新人才也是高考重要的目的。“创新”将成为新高考命题的重要方向。阅读理解A篇，以“为全球问题制定富有想象力的解决方案的项目”为命题情境，潜移默化地培养学生的创新能力和思想，体现了高考选拔创新人才的命题思路。摒弃了阅读A必须考查生活应用文的固化思想。
新高考反对“固化的命题模式”，将以灵活的命题素材和情境，体现高考灵活性。阅读填空“7选5”常以说明文进行命题，但为避免“新八股”的教条模式，记叙文出现的可能性也比较大。例如本卷中的阅读七选五。
科学技术的发展是创新的具体体现，也是增强民族自豪感的事实依据。因此，科技发展的成果有可能出现在语法填空中。例如本卷中的语法填空。
学业水平考试的是高中生的毕业考试，高考是国家选拔创新人才的考试。学考和高考分开考的目的很明确。高考就是选拔性考试，通过高考英语试题，考查学生的推理判断能力和逻辑思维能力及品质是重要导向。
通过阅读理解中，预测后文发展的推理判断题是最具挑战性的推理题，在新高考命题中很可能会出现。判断依据是：我们中学课本中每个单元都有这样的阅读预测Predict what the text will be about。因此，预测文章走势的推理判断题，有可能出现在高考中。例如，本卷中的阅读理解B中的27．What would be probably the content of the paragraph that follows
2023年高考命题中“弘扬优秀传统文化，用英语讲好中国故事”依然是很重要的话题，预测2023年新高考地区将以语法填空和应用文写作的形式进行考查，语法填空的可能性较大，难度中等偏下，例如中的应用文写作。

One September night a family had gathered round their fireplace. Up the chimney roared the fire, and brightened the room with its broad flames. The faces of the father and mother had a sober gladness; the children laughed; and the aged grandmother sat knitting in the warmest place. This family of mountaineers was situated in the Notch of the White Hills, where the wind was sharp throughout the year, and pitilessly cold in the winter. Not just that, but a mountain towered above their heads, so steep, that the stones would often roll down its sides and wake the whole house at midnight.
Though they lived in such a remote place, these people held daily conversation with the world. Some travelers, would pause here and pay only for food and accommodation, but meet with a homely kindness beyond all price. When the footsteps were heard, therefore, between the outer door and the inner one, the whole family rose up, grandmother, children, and all, as if about to welcome someone who belonged to them, and whose fate was linked with theirs.
The door was opened by a young man. His face at first wore the sad expression, almost hopelessness, but soon brightened up when he saw the kindly warmth of his reception. He felt his heart spring forward to meet them all, from the old woman, who wiped a chair with her apron, to the little child that held out its arms to him.
“Ah, this fire is the right thing!” cried he, “The biting wind almost froze me. But when I saw this good fire, and all your cheerful faces, I felt as if you were waiting for my arrival. So I shall sit down, and make myself at home.”
After supper, the young man talked freely, feeling himself a member of the family. He was of a proud, yet lonely spirit, so trusting others was not easy for him. However, that night, the educated youth poured out his heart before the simple mountaineers.
24．What can we learn about the family from the passage
A．They charged travelers lot for food.
B．They were poor but hardworking.
C．They lived in a cold and dangerous spot.
D．They remained cut off from the world.
25．What might be the young man’s purpose to drop by the family
A．To talk to the family. B．To seek shelter from cold.
C．To keep company with the family. D．To know about the mountain.
26．What was the main reason why the young man felt at ease
A．The welcoming fire. B．The comfortable chair.
C．The delicious supper. D．The warmth of the family.
27．What would be probably the content of the paragraph that follows
A．The mountain’s condition. B．The family’s life.
C．Mountaineers’ characters. D．The young man’s story.

How are you feeling today Often when we ask people that question, they reply ‘not bad’, or ‘could be worse’. But what would make us feel ‘perfect’ Maybe we could live better by being healthier, less stressed, more motivated—but how
Of course there are many ways of improving our mental health, but sometimes there are small and simple solutions to helping improve our wellbeing. It’s something the TV programme Easy Ways to Live Well has been looking at. It suggested several ‘health hacks’ which the programme’s presenters tried and gave their ‘seal of approval’. And maybe they could help us too.
Firstly, to deal with putting on weight and to cut the calories, the programme found sniffing (嗅) peppermint (薄荷) stops our longing for a snack. Presenter, chef and writer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says “a scientific theory called ‘mutual competition’ shows that a strong smell can distract our brain from the food we’re thinking about.”
If your addiction to your smartphone is getting you down, it’s suggested that turning your phone screen grey helps you reduce screen time because a black and white screen becomes less attractive to look at. With recent studies showing our phones can make us 26% less productive and increase our stress, it seems like a no-brainer to try this ‘dim’ idea.
Fancy a swim in ice-cold water Well, the TV programme found a daily dip in freezing water gets you used to the stress of doing it and therefore prepares you for other life stresses. And another way to ‘chill out’ is to leave your smartphone at home, immerse yourself in a forest, and breathe in the fresh air. Forest bathing is the perfect tonic for the stresses of urban life.
Other life-improving ideas included things such as singing to reduce pain and walking around more to get away from our sedentary (久坐不动) lives. But whatever way we choose to adopt, it seems any change to our lifestyle can help improve our body and mind.
28．What’s the function of a series of questions in the first paragraph
A．To provide more background information. B．To provoke thinking and bring out the topic.
C．To expect readers can give specific answers. D．To attract readers to focus on physical health.
29．What’s the author’s attitude towards the TV programme Easy Ways to Live Well
A．Favorable. B．Unclear. C．Negative. D．Critical.
30．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage
A．The strong smell of peppermint is bound to cut the calories.
B．To remove life stresses, you must have a swim in freezing water.
C．Making the phone screen colorful makes us more focused and efficient.
D．An ice-water swim and forest bathing have the similar effect on stresses.
31．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To tell readers how to be perfect. B．To introduce a popular TV programme.
C．To offer some ways to better well-being. D．To get rid of some bad habits in daily life.
D
People often call music a universal language, but do certain songs really cause the same mental images in our minds Scientists at Princeton find that while music absolutely can stimulate(激发)similar mental experiences, the results also strongly suggest culture is a major factor.
A total of 622 people took part in the study. All of the volunteers came from one of three locations: two suburban college towns in the US (one in Arkansas and the other in Michigan), or the rural Chinese village of Dimen. It’s worth noting that the main language in Dimen is Dong, a tonal language unrelated to the official language of China. Locals there have little contact with Western media or culture at all. All participants listened to the exact same 32 “musical stimuli”— which were 60-second cuts of instrumental music. Half of these pieces came from Western music while the rest came from Chinese music.
After hearing, researchers asked the groups about the images they saw in their heads while listening. Incredibly, people from Arkansas and Michigan often described very similar stories, even using the exact same words frequently. Dimen listeners, on the other hand, envisioned stories that were similar to each other but quite different from the American listeners. More specifically, one track led t o Americans seeing a cowboy in the hot desert surveying an empty town. Meanwhile, Chinese participants imagined a man in ancient times reflecting on the loss of a loved one.
“There’s something about the results that’s really surprising, especially because people encounter music in 2022 often in a solitary way, over headphones. But it turns out, it’s still a shared experience, almost like a shred dream, although not universally shared, ”says Elizabeth Margulis, the study author.
The results paint a more complex picture of music’s power. Music can generate remarkably similar stories in listeners’ minds, but it depends on a common set of cultural experiences. So while we imagine music can bring people together, the opposite can also be true-it can distinguish between sets of people with a different background or culture.
32．What is the probable reason for Dimen being selected for the study
A．Its unique cultural background. B．Its close contact with US.
C．Its complex language system. D．Its long tradition of music.
33．What were the participants required to do after listening to music
A．Exchange their comments on the scene.
B．Imagine musicians’ original inspiration.
C．Describe the picture forming in mind.
D．Recall personal music-related stories.
34．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 4
A．Strange. B．Individual. C．Outdated. D．Polite.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Unbelievable Music’s Effects Go beyond Cultures
B．Problem Solved! How Music Brings Us All Together
C．Amazing! Cultures Determine Our Preference for Music
D．Universal Language Culture Matters When We Hear Music

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait – and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother – we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order.
More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.
One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard.
