Kindness is seen as a true strength, and the success of civilizations relies on kindness. As parents and teachers, we also teach children from a young age to "be kind to one another" and "treat others the way you want to be treated."
In addition to being helpful to our interpersonal relationships, research has shown that kindness can even contribute to our well-being. According to the Mayo Clinic, when we perform acts of kindness, the pleasure center in our brain is activated, releasing the stress-reducing hormone (激素) Individuals who volunteer on a regular basis report greater life satisfaction. And what is even greater is that kindness rarely stops with just one person. There can be a positive contagion (扩散) effect, where other people are motivated to be nice if they receive a random act of kindness. The question then arises: Could kindness be harmful to us when it has such clear benefits Let's think about this in the workplace or in an organization.
You are the new person on the team and you want to be well-liked and respected by your colleagues. You are a kind person and tell your team, "Let me know how I can help you; I'm always available to help. "Though you may truly mean this, there are unfortunately people in this world who can see your kindness as a weakness. This can lead to you being taken advantage of by others.
Let's fast forward a year. You have been in your position now for one year, and you are working with the same team. You are noticing that your colleagues continue asking for your help over and over again. In fact, the only time they communicate with you is when they need something. You have been so helpful to your colleagues and there has rarely been any return from them.
In a very broad sense, it is advantageous to be kind to others, and your kind acts will be appreciated and, perhaps, paid forward. However, you need to be willing to say "no". Recognize when your plate is already too full. When people ask you a favor, assess if you have the time, energy, and attention to give to them. To truly be kind, sometimes you need to be more comfortable saying "no" to others and saying "yes" to yourself.

Protected areas have mixed success in protecting wildlife, according to the largest study on the effects of reserves(保护区).
A team led by researchers from the U. K. examined water bird data from 1,506 protected areas and analyzed more than 27, 000 bird populations across the world. The authors write that their study, published in Nature, is the first robust(强有力的), global assessment of protected area influence on bird populations. The scientists found that protected areas with management of water birds and their habitats were more likely to benefit those populations.
"Our study shows that, while many protected areas are working well, many others are failing to have positive effect," lead author Hannah Wauchope of the University of Exeter says in a statement. Rather than focusing only on the total global area protected, we need more focus on ensuring areas are well-managed to benefit biodiversity(生物多样性) . "The study compared water bird populations before and after the establishment of protected areas and also compared trends of similar populations within and outside of protected areas. Water birds respond quickly to changes in site quality, making them a good group to look at when studying the impact of protected areas.
"In the majority of places we looked at, wildlife populations were still stable or were increasing, but they weren't doing any better than in unprotected areas," Wauchope says. "That's disappointing, but not surprising. There seems to be this disconnect between people talking about how much land is protected and whether those areas are actually doing anything positive. "
This research comes ahead of a United Nations meeting in China to discuss biodiversity goals for the next decade. Several countries have already devoted to protecting 30 percent of the planet by 2030, yet researchers say protection alone does not necessarily ensure positive outcomes for species.
"Efforts to reach a certain area-based goal such as 30 percent by 2030--without a focus on improving the condition of existing protected areas will achieve little," says co-author Julia Jones from Bangor University. "When world leaders gather in China later this year to set goals for the next decade, I really hope to see a focus on effectiveness of protected areas, rather than simply how much surface area is devoted to them. "
"We are not saying protected areas don't work," Wauchope concludes in the statement. "The key point is that their effects vary hugely, and the biggest thing this depends on is whether they are managed with species in mind-we can't just expect protected areas to work without effective management."
8．What is the purpose of the UK's study
A．To see whether bird populations have increased in protected areas.
B．To test whether water birds can adapt to new environments.
C．To record the changes of water birds worldwide.
D．To help water birds survive in hard conditions.
9．Why are water birds chosen as the study subject
A．They are an endangered species
B．They can sense environmental changes.
C．They can help change the quality of waters.
D．They can hardly be found outside protected areas.
10．What fact makes Wauchope feel disappointed
A．Protected areas are not attractive to water birds.
B．There is a decline in the number of protected areas.
C．There is not enough protected land around the world.
D．Protected areas fail to work better than unprotected areas.
11．What is Hannah Wauchope's advice about protected areas
A．They should occupy a large area.
B．They should host various animals.
C．They should be under good management.

In 1823, a young woman noticed a strange fossil (化石) on a beach near Lyme Regis, England. She dug out the bones and had them carried to her home. She carefully arranged the skeleton(骨架) on a table. Then she saw something extraordinary. The creature's neck was a meter long-more than half the length of its body. It was unlike any animal living on Earth.
Even at a young age, Mary Anning had a talent for spotting unusual fossils. Her father died in 1810, leaving her family in. debt, so Mary began selling her fossils to collectors. At 12, she made her first major discovery—a crocodile-like skull(头骨) with a long skeleton. It turned out to be a sea creature that lived long ago. Named ichthyosaur, or "fish-lizard", it was the first extinct animal known to science.
Fossil hunting brought in money, but it was a dangerous job. One day, a rock fall killed her dog and almost buried Mary. Despite the dangers, she continued to look for mew finds The long-necked fossil she unearthed in 1823 was another long-dead sea reptile(爬行动物). Known as a plesiosaur, it would inspire legends—including that of the Loch Ness Monster.
Mary was not only a skilled fossil hunter; she also carefully examined and recorded her finds. However, she wasn't widely recognized in the scientific community. Only one of her scientific writings got published in her lifetime, in 1839. She was also not allowed to join London's Geological Society, as membership was only available to men.
Mary Anning died in 1847, but her contributions have not been forgotten. Her finds are now displayed in museums in London and Paris. The beach near her home is a UNFSCO World Heritage Site, known as the Jurassic Coast. Her life continues to inspire visitors hoping to find their own fossil wonders. According to Britain's Natural History Museum, Mary Anning was "tho greatest fossil hunter the world has ever known".

Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10, 000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12, 000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200
Languages: the Americas about 1, 000, Africa 2, 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3, 200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6, 000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150). Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
19．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times
A．They developed very fast. B．They were large in number.
C．They had similar patters. D．They were closely connected
20．Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？
A．Complex. B．Advanced. C．Powerful. D．Modern.
21．How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present
A．About 6, 800. B．About 3, 400.
C．About 2, 400. D．About 1, 200.
22．What is the main idea of the text
A．New languages will be created.
B．Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.

Have you ever walked through a door and thought to yourself, "What was I going to do " If you have, you are not alone. Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a "mental block" in the brain. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect.
In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with many sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and find that box of memory.
Beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex than that. Psychological studies suggest that our memories are episodic(情节性的)in general. If you think back on anything, you'll probably quickly realize our memories don't function as clear narratives. Instead, they're more episodic and divided into parts.
A new research led by psychologist Oliver Baumann from Bond University in Australia suggests that it's not so much the doorways that cause a memory wipe, as moving from one location to a significantly different one—it's the abrupt change of scene that prepares our minds for something new. "A good example is moving around in a department store, " says Baumann. He also points out that a busy and perhaps overloaded brain does seem to play some part in this phenomenon. In other words, walking through open doors is thought to reset memory to make room for a new episode.
The good news is that experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory and intelligence. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer's disease is creeping up on you!
23．Which of the following would most probably be "doorway effect"
A．You missed a call and forgot to ring back.
B．You read a book and forget what it is about.
C．You entered the office and forgot what to get.
D．You can remember what you did yesterday.
24．What can we learn from the passage
A．All memories are linked in the brain.
B．Memories are clearly separated in the brain.
C．Not all the memories can be found in the brain.
D．Memories are stored forever.
25．What can we infer from Baumann's research
A．Taking an elevator stimulates new memory.
B．Walking through open doors results in memory loss.
C．A sudden change boosts intelligence development.
D．An overloaded brain increases the possibility of doorway effect.
26．What does the author think of "doorway effect"
A．Insignificant. B．Beneficial. C．Influential. D．Damaging.

There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not, Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has treated them unfairly, and some of the1% feel life hasn't treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness Is life fair Should life be fair
We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life. The majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society-it's largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people who chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint. I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don't create fairness, but people's desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
It doesn't matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us-they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.

There's that old saying: How you do one thing is how you do everything. Therefore, as you become more kind and caring, it shows in everything that you do, even when playing music.
I recently went to a jam session (即兴演奏)with some other musicians in town, many of whom I was meeting for the first time. When I used to jam with other musicians, I spent more time in my head thinking about my drumming instead of actually paying attention to what was going on. This time, though, I found that I was more attentive and was able to support the other musicians more through my playing.
Because of this, our music was better than ever before, and I could feel the audience was enjoying the music more too, because the music was no longer about me, it was about all of us connecting through the universal language of music.
Afterwards, the musicians I played with told me they felt like our hearts were connected while playing, and that we were able to achieve a new level of playing together thanks to our collected approach. When playing, there was no self. There was just us sharing ourselves with our open hearts.
I believe that the best musicians in the world have this in common: to see past their own selves and to listen to or connect with their audience and fellow musicians. I've realized all of this thanks to my practice of being a more kind and caring person.
So, I would like to thank everyone on this website for opening your hearts and showing me about how to be a more caring person. As I grow into a more kind and caring person, I can now not only bring joy to those in my daily life, but also to those who listen, through my music.

Nearly two years after the COVID-19 outbreak, China has granted approval to its first antibody combination treatment for COVID-19.
A team from Brii Biosciences, Tsinghua University, and the People's Hospital of Shenzhen has accomplished the task in 20 months. It would usually takes 10 years. "It can reduce the rate of hospitalization and death by 80 percent, " said Zhang Linqi, leader of the research team.
The new antibody drug is immediately effective when conducted intravenously （静脉注射）. Moreover, the treatment can protect people, especially those whose physical condition doesn't allow vaccination, from becoming infected by COVID-19 for around nine to 12 months, said Zhang. How does it work When a virus infects a cell, it relies on an important type of protein: the spike proteins on its surface. The spike proteins serve as a key to unlocking a cell. If a virus cannot enter a cell, it will be destroyed immediately. The job of our antibodies is to block the virus from entering cells. So its target is very precise. In addition, thanks to the coordination between the two antibodies, it is highly efficient and durable in controlling the virus, according to Zhang.
Lab tests suggest that the antibody combination can be effective against common COVID-19 variants, including the Alpha, Beta, Delta, Lambda and Mu. Testing with the newer Omicron strain is ongoing. The qualities of the new drug make it especially useful for high-risk groups, such as frontline medical workers and people who are not suitable for vaccination due to various possible health problems.
The new drug is expected to come to the market soon, but it's not cheap. That's because of limited production. Also, it typically must be administered intravenously in a hospital setting.
Noting that China has used science and technology to fight COVID-19 since the beginning of the outbreak, Zhang said: "Science is the core to solving the issue. Science has shown its power in all sectors, from medical treatment, medicine and vaccine development to prevention and control measures. "
42．What do we know about the new drug
A．It can remain active in human bodies for 20 months.
B．It's unsuitable for people with underlying health problems.
C．It proves to be effective against COVID-19 variants alone.
D．It promises an 80 percent reduced risk of death.
43．How does the drug work
A．By getting rid of cells infected with the virus.
B．By preventing the virus from attacking cells.
C．By assisting the spike proteins in unlocking cells.
D．By targeting spike proteins on the surface of cells.
44．What is a disadvantage of the drug
A．It has some side effects.
B．Its ingredients are still in limited supply.
C．Not everyone can afford it.
D．Only high-risk groups can have access to it.
45．What is the Zhang Linqi's attitude towards science and technology in fighting COVID-19
A．Supportive. B．Ambiguous. C．Indifferent. D．Negative.

Climate change has been a long-standing issue that continuously drives scientists to find green, sustainable fuels. The universe's most abundant element, hydrogen （氢）, has drawn their attention and is now on its way to becoming the future of green fuel.
More than $150 billion worth of green hydrogen projects were announced globally in 2020, according to Reuters. Airbus, a European multinational aerospace corporation, has taken the lead in the new sustainable fuel industry. It has designed self-contained hydrogen fuel cell pods that can be attached to the underside of airplane wings, promoting the use of hydrogen fuel for long-distance flights, which aim to achieve zero emissions. The company plans to launch hydrogen-powered aircraft in 2035, according to Daily Mail.
Compared to fossil fuels, hydrogen is a much more eco-friendly fuel. When hydrogen burns, the only by-product is water. However, the traditional way to get hydrogen from natural gas or coal generates considerable carbon emissions. The greenest way is to obtain hydrogen from water using electrolysis（电解） powered by renewable energy, although this process requires so much electricity that it is quite expensive. The key to making hydrogen competitive with fossil fuels is to lower the production cost to under $1. 50. This would require lowering around 50 percent of renewable power costs and 75 percent of electrolyzer costs, according to Australia's renewable energy agency.
Also, shipping liquid hydrogen is challenging, given that needs to be chilled to -253 C to do so. Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries is set to complete the construction of the world's first liquefied hydrogen carrier by early 2021. According to Reuters, most of the world's big hydrogen export projects are looking to ship hydrogen in the form of liquid ammonia（氨）, which can be changed to hydrogen and needs to be chilled to only -33 C.
With more and more countries aiming to cut down carbon emissions to solve the issue of global warming, green hydrogen will help decarbonizing industries that can't be electrified hit the targets.
"We could use these circumstances, where loads of public money are going to be needed into the energy system, to jump forward towards a hydrogen economy, " said Diederik Samsom, who heads the European Commission's climate cabinet.
46．What is the strength of the hydrogen fuel
A．It works very efficiently. B．It is convenient to store.
C．It is environmentally friendly. D．It produces no by-product.
47．What is the challenge when shipping liquid hydrogen
A．The expensive cost of shipping.
B．The required temperature.
C．The construction of liquefied carriers.
D．Changing it to the form of liquid ammonia.
48．In which industries does green hydrogen benefit for
A．Those powered by fossil fuels. B．Those generating electricity.
C．Those funded by public money. D．Those making hydrogen.
49．What is the most suitable title for the passage
A．Fueling a Green Future B．Living a Green Life
C．Shipping Liquid Hydrogen D．Making Hydrogen Competitive

Kindness is seen as a true strength, and the success of civilizations relies on kindness. As parents and teachers, we also teach children from a young age to "be kind to one another" and "treat others the way you want to be treated."
In addition to being helpful to our interpersonal relationships, research has shown that kindness can even contribute to our well-being. According to the Mayo Clinic, when we perform acts of kindness, the pleasure center in our brain is activated, releasing the stress-reducing hormone (激素) Individuals who volunteer on a regular basis report greater life satisfaction. And what is even greater is that kindness rarely stops with just one person. There can be a positive contagion (扩散) effect, where other people are motivated to be nice if they receive a random act of kindness. The question then arises: Could kindness be harmful to us when it has such clear benefits Let's think about this in the workplace or in an organization.
You are the new person on the team and you want to be well-liked and respected by your colleagues. You are a kind person and tell your team, "Let me know how I can help you; I'm always available to help. "Though you may truly mean this, there are unfortunately people in this world who can see your kindness as a weakness. This can lead to you being taken advantage of by others.
Let's fast forward a year. You have been in your position now for one year, and you are working with the same team. You are noticing that your colleagues continue asking for your help over and over again. In fact, the only time they communicate with you is when they need something. You have been so helpful to your colleagues and there has rarely been any return from them.
In a very broad sense, it is advantageous to be kind to others, and your kind acts will be appreciated and, perhaps, paid forward. However, you need to be willing to say "no". Recognize when your plate is already too full. When people ask you a favor, assess if you have the time, energy, and attention to give to them. To truly be kind, sometimes you need to be more comfortable saying "no" to others and saying "yes" to yourself.
1．What has the Mayo Clinic found concerning kindness
A．It does good to our mind.
B．It reduces hormone levels.
C．It adds years to people's life.
D．It leads to the success of civilizations.
2．What might the new person feel one year later
A．Grateful. B．Bored. C．Disappointed. D．Energetic.
3．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean
A．When you're too full to eat anything.
B．When your kind acts get appreciated.
C．When you should ask others a favor.
D．When you're physically and mentally tired.
4．What can be the best title for the text

B．Are we tiring ourselves with kindness
C．Why are random acts of kindness important
D．Never underestimate the power of kindness at work!

Protected areas have mixed success in protecting wildlife, according to the largest study on the effects of reserves(保护区).
A team led by researchers from the U. K. examined water bird data from 1,506 protected areas and analyzed more than 27, 000 bird populations across the world. The authors write that their study, published in Nature, is the first robust(强有力的), global assessment of protected area influence on bird populations. The scientists found that protected areas with management of water birds and their habitats were more likely to benefit those populations.
"Our study shows that, while many protected areas are working well, many others are failing to have positive effect," lead author Hannah Wauchope of the University of Exeter says in a statement. Rather than focusing only on the total global area protected, we need more focus on ensuring areas are well-managed to benefit biodiversity(生物多样性) . "The study compared water bird populations before and after the establishment of protected areas and also compared trends of similar populations within and outside of protected areas. Water birds respond quickly to changes in site quality, making them a good group to look at when studying the impact of protected areas.
"In the majority of places we looked at, wildlife populations were still stable or were increasing, but they weren't doing any better than in unprotected areas," Wauchope says. "That's disappointing, but not surprising. There seems to be this disconnect between people talking about how much land is protected and whether those areas are actually doing anything positive. "
This research comes ahead of a United Nations meeting in China to discuss biodiversity goals for the next decade. Several countries have already devoted to protecting 30 percent of the planet by 2030, yet researchers say protection alone does not necessarily ensure positive outcomes for species.
"Efforts to reach a certain area-based goal such as 30 percent by 2030--without a focus on improving the condition of existing protected areas will achieve little," says co-author Julia Jones from Bangor University. "When world leaders gather in China later this year to set goals for the next decade, I really hope to see a focus on effectiveness of protected areas, rather than simply how much surface area is devoted to them. "
"We are not saying protected areas don't work," Wauchope concludes in the statement. "The key point is that their effects vary hugely, and the biggest thing this depends on is whether they are managed with species in mind-we can't just expect protected areas to work without effective management."
8．What is the purpose of the UK's study
A．To see whether bird populations have increased in protected areas.
B．To test whether water birds can adapt to new environments.
C．To record the changes of water birds worldwide.
D．To help water birds survive in hard conditions.
9．Why are water birds chosen as the study subject
A．They are an endangered species
B．They can sense environmental changes.
C．They can help change the quality of waters.
D．They can hardly be found outside protected areas.
10．What fact makes Wauchope feel disappointed
A．Protected areas are not attractive to water birds.
B．There is a decline in the number of protected areas.
C．There is not enough protected land around the world.
D．Protected areas fail to work better than unprotected areas.
11．What is Hannah Wauchope's advice about protected areas
A．They should occupy a large area.
B．They should host various animals.
C．They should be under good management.
D．They should give water birds more freedom.
【答案】8．A

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，研究表明：保护区在保护野生动物方面成效参差不齐。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
8．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“The authors write that their study, published in Nature, is the first robust(强有力的), global assessment of protected area influence on bird populations. ”作者在他们的研究中写道，发表在《自然》杂志上，这是第一个关于保护区对鸟类种群影响的强有力的全球评估。可知，这次研究的目的是为了发现保护区对鸟类种群的数量影响进行评估。故选A。
9．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The study compared water bird populations before and after the establishment of protected areas and also compared trends of similar populations within and outside of protected areas. Water birds respond quickly to changes in site quality, making them a good group to look at when studying the impact of protected areas.”这项研究比较了建立保护区前后的水鸟种群，并比较了保护区内外相似种群的趋势。水鸟对场地质量的变化反应迅速，使它们成为研究保护区影响的一个很好的群体。可知，由于水鸟对场地质量的变化反应迅速，使它们成为研究保护区影响的一个很好的群体。故选B。
10．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“‘In the majority of places we looked at, wildlife populations were still stable or were increasing, but they weren't doing any better than in unprotected areas, ’ Wauchope says. ‘That's disappointing, but not surprising.’”Wauchope说：“在我们观察的大多数地方，野生动物的数量仍然稳定或者在增加，但是野生动物的数量并没有比未受保护的地区更好。这很令人失望，但并不令人惊讶。可知，让Wauchope失望的是，和未受保护的地区相比，保护区的作用并没有得到很好的展现。故选D。
11．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“‘We are not saying protected areas don’t work, ’Wauchope concludes in the statement. ‘The key point is that their effects vary hugely, and the biggest thing this depends on is whether they are managed with species in mind-we can’t just expect protected areas to work without effective management. ’”“我们并不是说保护区不起作用,”Wauchope在声明中总结出关键的一点是，它们的影响差别很大，最大的问题是，这取决于它们的管理是否考虑到物种——我们不能指望保护区在没有有效管理的情况下发挥作用。”可知，在Wauchope看来，保护区的作用取决于它们的管理是否考虑到物种，所以对于保护区，Wauchope的建议是保护区要在有效管理的情况下发挥作用。故选C。

In 1823, a young woman noticed a strange fossil (化石) on a beach near Lyme Regis, England. She dug out the bones and had them carried to her home. She carefully arranged the skeleton(骨架) on a table. Then she saw something extraordinary. The creature's neck was a meter long-more than half the length of its body. It was unlike any animal living on Earth.
Even at a young age, Mary Anning had a talent for spotting unusual fossils. Her father died in 1810, leaving her family in. debt, so Mary began selling her fossils to collectors. At 12, she made her first major discovery—a crocodile-like skull(头骨) with a long skeleton. It turned out to be a sea creature that lived long ago. Named ichthyosaur, or "fish-lizard", it was the first extinct animal known to science.
Fossil hunting brought in money, but it was a dangerous job. One day, a rock fall killed her dog and almost buried Mary. Despite the dangers, she continued to look for mew finds The long-necked fossil she unearthed in 1823 was another long-dead sea reptile(爬行动物). Known as a plesiosaur, it would inspire legends—including that of the Loch Ness Monster.
Mary was not only a skilled fossil hunter; she also carefully examined and recorded her finds. However, she wasn't widely recognized in the scientific community. Only one of her scientific writings got published in her lifetime, in 1839. She was also not allowed to join London's Geological Society, as membership was only available to men.
Mary Anning died in 1847, but her contributions have not been forgotten. Her finds are now displayed in museums in London and Paris. The beach near her home is a UNFSCO World Heritage Site, known as the Jurassic Coast. Her life continues to inspire visitors hoping to find their own fossil wonders. According to Britain's Natural History Museum, Mary Anning was "tho greatest fossil hunter the world has ever known".

A．stress the hard work Mary Anning carried out
B．prove the uniqueness of Mary Anning; s finds

A．Her main purpose was to make scientific contributions.
B．She found it hard to make ends meet as a fossil hunter.
C．She made her first major discovery in 1823.
D．She had a narrow escape from a rock fall.

Then she saw something extraordinary. ”1823年，一位年轻女子在英格兰莱姆里吉斯附近的海滩上发现了一块奇怪的化石。她把骨头挖出来，让人抬回家。她仔细地把骷髅放在桌子上。然后她看到了一些不寻常的事情。可知，本段点出时间、地点和人物，并介绍了事件的起因、经过和结果，所以本段是为了向读者介绍玛丽·安宁的故事。故选C。
16．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Fossil hunting brought in money, but it was a dangerous job. One day, a rock fall killed her dog and almost buried Mary. ”化石采集带来了收入，但这是一项危险的工作。一天，一场落石砸死了她的狗，差点把玛丽埋了。可知，在化石搜寻经历中，她从岩崩中死里逃生。故选D。

Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10, 000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12, 000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200
Languages: the Americas about 1, 000, Africa 2, 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3, 200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6, 000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150). Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
19．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times
A．They developed very fast. B．They were large in number.
C．They had similar patters. D．They were closely connected
20．Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？
A．Complex. B．Advanced. C．Powerful. D．Modern.
21．How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present
A．About 6, 800. B．About 3, 400.
C．About 2, 400. D．About 1, 200.
22．What is the main idea of the text
A．New languages will be created.
B．Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C．Human development results in fewer languages.
D．Geography determines language evolution.

19．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other... when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.”当世界以依靠狩猎为生的人组成的时候，小而联系紧密的群落形成了他们彼此之间独立的讲话模式……当世界上的人口数量不到一千万时，语言种类达到了12,000种。可推知，当时的语言种类很多。故选B。
20．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.”可知，英语、西班牙语和汉语正在快速替代其他语言。可推知dominant languages意为“强有力的语言”。故选C。
21．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“At present, the world has about 6,800 languages.”目前，世界上大约有6800种语言；以及第三段中的“The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that. ”讲语言的人数中位数仅为6000人，这意味着世界上一半的语言使用者少于这个数字。可知，目前世界上大约有6800种语言，但是讲的人数少于6000人的占一半即3400。故选B。
22．考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.”几千年来，语言一直在来来往往，但最近来的更少，去的更多。可知，语言的产生和消失进行了几千年，但最近语言产生的少，消失的太多。故选C。

Have you ever walked through a door and thought to yourself, "What was I going to do " If you have, you are not alone. Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a "mental block" in the brain. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect.
In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with many sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and find that box of memory.
Beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex than that. Psychological studies suggest that our memories are episodic(情节性的)in general. If you think back on anything, you'll probably quickly realize our memories don't function as clear narratives. Instead, they're more episodic and divided into parts.
A new research led by psychologist Oliver Baumann from Bond University in Australia suggests that it's not so much the doorways that cause a memory wipe, as moving from one location to a significantly different one—it's the abrupt change of scene that prepares our minds for something new. "A good example is moving around in a department store, " says Baumann. He also points out that a busy and perhaps overloaded brain does seem to play some part in this phenomenon. In other words, walking through open doors is thought to reset memory to make room for a new episode.
The good news is that experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory and intelligence. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer's disease is creeping up on you!
23．Which of the following would most probably be "doorway effect"
A．You missed a call and forgot to ring back.
B．You read a book and forget what it is about.
C．You entered the office and forgot what to get.
D．You can remember what you did yesterday.
24．What can we learn from the passage
A．All memories are linked in the brain.
B．Memories are clearly separated in the brain.
C．Not all the memories can be found in the brain.
D．Memories are stored forever.
25．What can we infer from Baumann's research
A．Taking an elevator stimulates new memory.
B．Walking through open doors results in memory loss.
C．A sudden change boosts intelligence development.
D．An overloaded brain increases the possibility of doorway effect.
26．What does the author think of "doorway effect"
A．Insignificant. B．Beneficial. C．Influential. D．Damaging.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了门口效应以及其产生的原因。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
23．考查细节理解。根据第一段“Have you ever walked through a door and thought to yourself, ‘What was I going to do ’ If you have, you are not alone. Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a ‘mental block’ in the brain. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect.”你有没有穿过一扇门，心中在想：“我是要去干什么？”如果你有，你并不孤单。心理学家认为，穿过一扇门进入另一个房间会在大脑中造成“精神障碍”。这通常被称为门口效应。可知，进入一个房间忘记自己要做的事情被称作门口效应。故选C。
24．考查推理判断。根据第二段“In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with many sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and find that box of memory.”在早期的大脑研究中，科学家们认为人类的记忆就像一个壁橱，有很多区域，我们可以在其中存储我们生活中的经历。盒子会永远留在那里，每当我们需要查看它们的时候，我们就可以去那个特定的区域，找到那个记忆盒子；以及第三段“Beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex than that. Psychological studies suggest that our memories are episodic(情节性的)in general. If you think back on anything, you’ll probably quickly realize our memories don’t function as clear narratives. Instead, they’re more episodic and divided into parts.”这个关于人类记忆形成的描述听起来很美，但它是不真实的。我们的大脑比这复杂的多。心理学研究表明，我们的记忆通常是情节性的。如果你回想什么事情，你可能很快就会意识到我们的记忆并不是清晰的叙事。相反，它们更有情节性，被分成了多个部分。可知，并不是所有的记忆都是可以在大脑中找到的。故选C。
25．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的" He also points out that a busy and perhaps overloaded brain does seem to play some part in this phenomenon. ” 他还指出，一个忙碌且可能超负荷的大脑似乎确实在这种现象中发挥了一些作用，可知，超负荷的大脑会增加门口效应的可能性。故选D。
26．考查推理判断。根据最后一段“The good news is that experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory and intelligence. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer's disease is creeping up on you!”好消息是，在进入另一个房间后经历这种遗忘的插曲不会告诉你任何关于你的记忆力和智力的事情。所以，当你走进一个房间，突然忘记了自己为什么在那里时，你不应该认为阿尔茨海默病正在悄悄靠近你！可知出现门口效应并不表示记忆力或智力出现问题，没有什么影响。故选A。

There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not, Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has treated them unfairly, and some of the1% feel life hasn't treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness Is life fair Should life be fair
We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life. The majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society-it's largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people who chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint. I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don't create fairness, but people's desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
It doesn't matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us-they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.
30．What does the underlined word "abound" in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Change fully. B．Remain the same.
C．Exist in great numbers. D．Disappear completely.
31．What opinion does the writer agree with
A．Most of us can influence the results we achieve.
B．Our background determines our choices.
C．People's desire creates unfairness.
D．We should depend on others to solve all problems.
32．What is the primary purpose of the text
A．To promote efforts over complaint.
B．To stress the importance of fairness.
C．To share an inspiring story of a friend.
D．To prove that fairness is a state of mind.
33．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Fairness Is Justice.
B．Life Is Not Fair--Deal With It.
C．Fairness Comes First.
D．Fairness Creates Chances.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者讨论了生活是否公平以及是否应该公平的问题。作者认为，无论生活中遇到什么样的挑战，我们都应该勇敢面对，而不是一味指望公平来解决所有问题。

30．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“We have little choice early in life. ”我们在人生的初期几乎没有选择。说明人生的初期没有选择，相对而言，人生的后期就有了选择，从而推知“But as we grow older, choices abound.”的意思是：但随着年龄的增长，我们的选择有很多。可推知abound应为“有了（选择），有更多（的选择）”的意思，故选C。
31．考查推理判断。根据第二段中中的“I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain.”我一直相信，虽然我们无法控制生命的开始，但我们大多数人都有能力影响我们所取得的结果。可知，作者认为我们大多数人都能影响我们所取得的结果。故选A。
32．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.”不管他们面临的挑战是什么，他们都有选择贡献而不是抱怨的品格。可知，文章的主要目的是要告诉人们要努力进取而不是抱怨。故选A。
33．考查主旨大意。根据最后一段中的“It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. ”无论你是含着银汤匙，塑料汤匙，还是根本没有汤匙出生的都没关系；以及“Stories such as this are all around us-they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.”这样的故事在我们身边随处可见——它们不是奇迹，也不是罕见的例外。然而，他们却确实证明了他们对公平思维模式的无视。可知，本文用身边的事例阐述了人生中没有绝对的公平，但我们要勇敢面对不公平的道理。故选B。

We turn onto a farm track. The last part of our journey is a roller coaster, jumping out of potholes(路面坑洼)and turning to avoid falling off the sinking road. We pass huts on stilts(木桩)，skinny cows and farm yards where children jump and scream upon seeing us. The stream along the side of the road is almost dry and no crops or trees are across the fields.
Finally we arrive at our destination: the oasis(令人快慰的地方) is Samrong Farm. By the gates, a group of 10-year-old children compete in the area of marbles.

There's that old saying: How you do one thing is how you do everything. Therefore, as you become more kind and caring, it shows in everything that you do, even when playing music.
I recently went to a jam session (即兴演奏)with some other musicians in town, many of whom I was meeting for the first time. When I used to jam with other musicians, I spent more time in my head thinking about my drumming instead of actually paying attention to what was going on. This time, though, I found that I was more attentive and was able to support the other musicians more through my playing.
Because of this, our music was better than ever before, and I could feel the audience was enjoying the music more too, because the music was no longer about me, it was about all of us connecting through the universal language of music.
Afterwards, the musicians I played with told me they felt like our hearts were connected while playing, and that we were able to achieve a new level of playing together thanks to our collected approach. When playing, there was no self. There was just us sharing ourselves with our open hearts.
I believe that the best musicians in the world have this in common: to see past their own selves and to listen to or connect with their audience and fellow musicians. I've realized all of this thanks to my practice of being a more kind and caring person.
So, I would like to thank everyone on this website for opening your hearts and showing me about how to be a more caring person. As I grow into a more kind and caring person, I can now not only bring joy to those in my daily life, but also to those who listen, through my music.
38．What does the author think contributed to their better music than ever
A．He was more attentive and supportive.
B．He played more attentively than before.

A．The way you do everything remains the same.
B．A good beginning is sure to bring about success.
C．Nothing is too difficult if it is dealt with one step after another.

A．being able to see beyond themselves
B．being good at listening to their audience
C．being expert at showing the best self
D．being willing to communicate with others
41．What's the last paragraph mainly about

Nearly two years after the COVID-19 outbreak, China has granted approval to its first antibody combination treatment for COVID-19.
A team from Brii Biosciences, Tsinghua University, and the People's Hospital of Shenzhen has accomplished the task in 20 months. It would usually takes 10 years. "It can reduce the rate of hospitalization and death by 80 percent, " said Zhang Linqi, leader of the research team.
The new antibody drug is immediately effective when conducted intravenously （静脉注射）. Moreover, the treatment can protect people, especially those whose physical condition doesn't allow vaccination, from becoming infected by COVID-19 for around nine to 12 months, said Zhang. How does it work When a virus infects a cell, it relies on an important type of protein: the spike proteins on its surface. The spike proteins serve as a key to unlocking a cell. If a virus cannot enter a cell, it will be destroyed immediately. The job of our antibodies is to block the virus from entering cells. So its target is very precise. In addition, thanks to the coordination between the two antibodies, it is highly efficient and durable in controlling the virus, according to Zhang.
Lab tests suggest that the antibody combination can be effective against common COVID-19 variants, including the Alpha, Beta, Delta, Lambda and Mu. Testing with the newer Omicron strain is ongoing. The qualities of the new drug make it especially useful for high-risk groups, such as frontline medical workers and people who are not suitable for vaccination due to various possible health problems.
The new drug is expected to come to the market soon, but it's not cheap. That's because of limited production. Also, it typically must be administered intravenously in a hospital setting.
Noting that China has used science and technology to fight COVID-19 since the beginning of the outbreak, Zhang said: "Science is the core to solving the issue. Science has shown its power in all sectors, from medical treatment, medicine and vaccine development to prevention and control measures. "

13.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Climate change has been a long-standing issue that continuously drives scientists to find green, sustainable fuels. The universe's most abundant element, hydrogen （氢）, has drawn their attention and is now on its way to becoming the future of green fuel.
More than $150 billion worth of green hydrogen projects were announced globally in 2020, according to Reuters. Airbus, a European multinational aerospace corporation, has taken the lead in the new sustainable fuel industry. It has designed self-contained hydrogen fuel cell pods that can be attached to the underside of airplane wings, promoting the use of hydrogen fuel for long-distance flights, which aim to achieve zero emissions. The company plans to launch hydrogen-powered aircraft in 2035, according to Daily Mail.
Compared to fossil fuels, hydrogen is a much more eco-friendly fuel. When hydrogen burns, the only by-product is water. However, the traditional way to get hydrogen from natural gas or coal generates considerable carbon emissions. The greenest way is to obtain hydrogen from water using electrolysis（电解） powered by renewable energy, although this process requires so much electricity that it is quite expensive. The key to making hydrogen competitive with fossil fuels is to lower the production cost to under $1. 50. This would require lowering around 50 percent of renewable power costs and 75 percent of electrolyzer costs, according to Australia's renewable energy agency.
Also, shipping liquid hydrogen is challenging, given that needs to be chilled to -253 C to do so. Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries is set to complete the construction of the world's first liquefied hydrogen carrier by early 2021. According to Reuters, most of the world's big hydrogen export projects are looking to ship hydrogen in the form of liquid ammonia（氨）, which can be changed to hydrogen and needs to be chilled to only -33 C.
With more and more countries aiming to cut down carbon emissions to solve the issue of global warming, green hydrogen will help decarbonizing industries that can't be electrified hit the targets.
"We could use these circumstances, where loads of public money are going to be needed into the energy system, to jump forward towards a hydrogen economy, " said Diederik Samsom, who heads the European Commission's climate cabinet.
46．What is the strength of the hydrogen fuel
A．It works very efficiently. B．It is convenient to store.
C．It is environmentally friendly. D．It produces no by-product.
