I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water(停滞不前), just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start—there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent(代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同) of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding.
24. Why did the author decide to write a novel
A. Because she hated her previous jobs.
B Because her parents and friends had encouraged her to do so.
C. Because she wanted to pursue her own dream of writing a novel.
D. Because she graduated from university with a good degree in English Literature.
25. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean
A. She became less stubborn.
B. She became more stubborn.
C. She suddenly lost confidence.
D. She gradually gained confidence.
26. Who agreed to publish the author’s first novel
A. An agent who she signed with.
B. A rights assistant she once worked with.
C. An agent who advised her to send her novel out to agents.
D. A publisher who she once worked for as a rights assistant.
27. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experience as a writer
A. Tough but rewarding. B. Interesting and smooth.
C. Difficult but thrilling. D. Complicated and fruitless.
C
Feeling extremely stressed by your to-do list can make you unhappy, but a new study suggests that more free time might not be the magic way most of us dream it could be.
The researchers analyzed data from 35,000 subjects about how Americans spend their free time. They found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective happiness — but only up to a pared to those with less time, people with up to two hours of free time a day generally felt better. However, people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally felt worse. So the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day.
Part of finding this “sweet spot” is connected with how people spend their free time. In an online experiment, the subjects were asked to imagine having four to seven free hours per day and spending that time doing “productive” or “unproductive” activities. Most of them believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions, which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow (心流状态) can benefit people’s mental health.
Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are “productive”. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.
“In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,” Sharif said, “our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purposes.”
28. How much free time one day do people have that can generally make them feel better
A. About 60 minutes. B. About 90 minutes.
C. From 120 to 180 minutes. D. From 180 to 210 minutes.
29. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. How being in a state of flow can benefit people’s mental health.
B. How the researchers analyzed data from the 35,000 subjects.
C. How “productive” activities are different from “unproductive” ones.
D. How people make use of their free time influences their happiness.
30. How can we understand the “productive” activities in paragraph 4
A They must be fun and easy.
B. They are mostly traditional ones.
C. They depend on one’s own sense.
D. They generally rely on one’s own physical condition.
31. What did Sharif say to people who have a lot of free time
A. People should spend their time with aims.
B. It is not easy for people to have newfound time.
C. People can benefit from large amounts of free time.
D. Retired and unemployed people can’t deal with free time well.
D
A Dutch collector who says he bought the Zhang Gong Patriarch—an ancient Buddha statue(佛像)containing the mummified(木乃伊化的)remains of a famous monk—has been ordered to return the stolen relic to its original owners, two villages in Fujian province. The Fujian Provincial High People’s Court announced the order on Wednesday, upholding the original ruling(裁决)made by a lower court about two years ago.
In a ruling in late 2020, the Sanming Intermediate People’s Court demanded that Oscar van Overeem, the Dutch architect and collector who bought the statue, return it to Yangchun and Dongpu villages. For local villagers, the statue is a significant cultural relic that had been at the Puzhao Temple in Sanming, Fujian province, where they could honor and worship it before it was stolen in December 1995, according to the high court. The lawyer for Van Overeem did not comment or give a statement over the ruling.
After further investigation and trial, the high court said on Wednesday that although Van Overeem has said he bought the statue in Amsterdam in 1996, he could not provide a receipt. In March 2015, he allowed the statue to be exhibited at the Hungarian Natural HIistory Museum in Budapest, the high court said.
The high court upheld the lower court’s ruling that the statue was stolen and is an illegally exported cultural relic. The high court added the statue reflects the traditional customs of southern Fujian and has a special meaning for the villagers, and, therefore, should be returned. Lawyers from both sides were present when the ruling was announced on Tuesday. A number of legislators(立法者), political advisers and journalists were also on hand for the ruling.
Lin Kaian, a villager from Yangchun who was present at the court when the ruling was announced on Tuesday, said,“I’m glad to hear the high court ruled in favor of us demanding the return of the statue. We respect the ruling, and we hope the statue will be back with us as soon as possible.”
32. What does the underlined word“upholding”in paragraph 1 mean
A. Doubting. B. Supporting. C. Reviewing. D. Changing.
33. How did he get the Buddha statue according to Oscar van Overeem himself
A. He paid for it in Amsterdam.
B. He asked someone else to steal it.
C. He got it from a villager in Sanming.
D. He took it from the Puzhao Temple.
34. What do we know about the statue according to the text
A. The statue is a significant cultural relic that had been at the villager’s house.
B. The lawyer for Van Overeem expressed his disagreement with the ruling in 2020.
C. In March 2015, Van Overeem allowed the statue to be exhibited in Amsterdam.
D. The lower court announced it is an illegally exported cultural relic.
35. Which can serve as the best title for the news report
A. Buddha statue reflects traditional customs of southern Fujian
B. Villagers look for Buddha statue ever since its disappearance
C. Dutch collector warned to provide receipt for Buddha statue
D. Dutch collector ordered to return Buddha statue

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Last week, I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Rush Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, who was an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t a long time to live, but incredibly he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.
“Frank!” I cried in surprise. ___56___ response to my cry he couldn’t answer, as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back to more than thirty years ago—to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which about a hundred people slept every night. The aim to stay there was to guarantee ___57___ (we) safety. Among them were Mrs. West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Why Frank interested me was ___58___ he was not normal. He had never been normal ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby had. Mrs. West, then 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank relied on her completely. She had to watch ___59___ her disabled son carefully. ___60___ (raise) her disabled son was no easy job. She was often stressed out. She was a ___61___ (represent) of a kind and devoted mother, who was ___62___ (worth) of people’s praise.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her house ___63___ (destroy) already. That wasn’t quite true. Though ___64___ (damage) badly, their house could still be used because the Wests went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.
Before we separated that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running-and placed his right foot against mine ____65____ (repeated). After that, he always greeted me in the same way.

Strange Footprints in the Snow
Tom woke up and looked around. For a moment, he wasn’t sure where he was. Then he remembered. He and his sister, Lucy, were visiting Aunt Gwen. Yesterday they spent seven hours helping Aunt Gwen clean her basement. Today they would have time to play.
He looked out of the window. Fresh snow covered the ground. He could hardly wait to go outside. Tom got dressed and hurried downstairs to the kitchen.
“Hi, sleepyhead(贪睡者),” said Aunt Gwen. “Lucy has already eaten her breakfast. She’s outside.”
“That’s where I’m going as soon as I finish breakfast,” Tom said.
A short time later, he zipped up(拉上拉链)his coat, put on his boots, and walked out of the front door. The sun made the snow sparkle. He looked around. He didn’t see his sister, but he saw something else. There were strange footprints left in the snow across Aunt Gwen’s yard.
“They’re far too big to be Lucy’s. They look like they belong to a dinosaur,” Tom said. Then he added, “But that’s silly. Dinosaurs are not around anymore.”
He looked closer: The footprints were the shape of a very large oval(椭圆)with a stem. “Maybe they belong to an elephant or a hippo that escaped from the zoo,” he thought. He held his breath and listened. He didn’t hear anything.
He remembered a book he’d seen earlier on Aunt Gwen’s shelf. It was a book about animal tracks. He dashed inside to get it. The book had pictures of animals and the tracks they made. He turned the pages one by one, but none of the photos looked like the footprints in Aunt Gwen’s yard.
He stared at those footprints again. An animal that made such big tracks would have to be heavy. Its tracks should sink far down into the snow. Yet these footprints seemed to skim across(掠过)the top.
How can that be He wondered.
Tom noticed something else. The tracks never left Aunt Gwen’s yard. Instead, they turned and went around the house. “Maybe the animal is still here,” he whispered.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Though a little scared, Tom made up his mind to find the animal.

【答案】One possible version：
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply to be a little envoy of cultural exchange to promote the communication with foreign schools.
Above all, I have travelled to Europe twice for summer camps before, which helps me experience foreign cultures and look at things from different perspectives. Actually, I am chairman of our school student union, so I will be the right person to share Chinese school culture with foreigners such as student clubs and school activities
If you need to contact me, please call 68124566. I believe the chance can broaden my horizon and make me grow in many ways and that I can make a contribution to introducing Chinese campus culture as well as Chinese people and Chinese cultures and customs to other countries. Thus foreigners can have a better understanding of China and Chinese schools.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

【67题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
Though a little scared, Tom made up his mind to find the animal. Quietly, he began following the footprints. He sneaked forward so that the animal wasn’t scared away. There was nothing in sight except the strange footprints. Suddenly, there seemed to be some strange sounds ahead. Tom stopped and listened carefully. It came from the backyard, Thrilled, mixed with a feeling of a little fright, he quickened his pace! The sounds became clearer and clearer. Holding his breath, Tom peeked around the corner of the house.
It turned out that his sister was making the sounds. She had something worn on both feet. She was walking on the snow back and forth happily. Noticing her brother, Lucy waved excitedly, “See what I found in Aunt Gwen’s basement They are old-fashioned snow shoes. Aunt Gwen said the shape helped walk steadily on the snow. And that is true!” Tom then laughed, “No wonder I couldn’t find those footprints in Aunt Gwen’s book.” There was no page for a snowshoeing sister.
