第二部分 阅读理解（共两节, 满分 40 分）
第一节 （共 11小题；每小题 2.5 分, 满分 27.5分）
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和 D）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
As a long-time resident of Beijing, I had always wanted to travel around and see more of China. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, I never found the right opportunity to go traveling. But, in May 2021, I finally found my big chance.
During the week-long Labor Day holiday, there happened to be few restrictions(限制)on travel, so I took this as my chance to go to Shanghai. What made this trip special was that not only was it my first time traveling by rail, but high-speed rail. Many Americans are unused to taking public transportation, instead mainly relying on cars to get around.
For me, riding to Shanghai by train was especially fascinating since I could get a good look through the spacious windows at the different kinds of beautiful scenery and towns as they rushed past me. In particular, I have always been a fan of the uniquely-shaped mountains of China, enjoying their elegant rolling lines as they make up the peaceful beauty. Another benefit of riding on trains was the spacious legroom which allowed me to relax more easily during my trip.
After arriving in Shanghai, I could not help but wonder why the US could not build a similarly useful and convenient railway system. Considering how cities are so spread out in the US, it is almost a no-brainer to see how the US would benefit from this kind of public investment. This could lead to less reliance on car ownership and have a positive impact on both the economy and environment.
21. How did the author usually travel in America
A. By bike. B. By car. C. By plane. D. By train.
22. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Why the author loves the mountains in China.
B. Why the author chose the seat by the window.
C. What the author thinks is important when traveling.
D. What the author likes most about traveling by train.
23. What if the US builds a high-speed railway system
A. It would be convenient, but expensive.
B. It would be beneficial in many aspects.
C. It’s unnecessary given its geography.
D.It is an unprofitable investment.
B
Scientists say the plant enset, an Ethiopian staple(主食), could be a new superfood and a lifesaver in the face of climate change. The banana-like crop has the potential to feed more than 100 million people in a warming world, according to a new study.
Enset or “false banana”, almost unknown outside of Ethiopia, is a close relative of the banana ,but is consumed only in one part of this country. The banana-like fruit of the plant is inedible, but the starchy stems(茎) and roots can be used to make porridge and bread. Research suggests the crop can be grown over a much larger range in Africa. “This is a crop that can play a really important role in addressing food security and sustainable development,” said a university professor in Awasa, Ethiopia.
Using agricultural surveys and modelling work, scientists predicted the potential range of enset over the next four decades. They found the crop could potentially feed more than 100 million people and boost food security in Ethiopia and other African countries, including Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.
Study researcher Dr James Borrell, of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, said planting enset, as an alternative for lean times, could help boost food security. “It’s got some really unusual features that make it absolutely unique as a crop,” he said. “You plant it at any time, you harvest it at any time. That’s why they call it the tree against hunger.”
There is growing interest in seeking new plants to feed the world, given our reliance on a few staple crops. Nearly half of all the calories we eat come from three species—rice, wheat, and maize. “We need to diversify the plants we use globally as a species because all our eggs are in a very small basket at the moment,” said Dr Borrell.
24. What does the underlined word “inedible” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Not secure enough. B. Not diverse enough.
C. Not fit to be planted. D. Not suitable to be eaten.
25. What do we know about Ethiopia’s enset from the text
A. It is a special species of banana.
B. It can help with solving food shortage.
C. It has fed more than 100 million people .
D. It can be grown at anytime and anywhere.
26. What is Dr Borrell’s attitude towards seeking new staple plants
A. Negative. B. Objective. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
27. What is the main purpose of the text？
A. To provide a solution to food problems.
B. To advertise a unique banana-like staple.
C. To recommend a magic crop against hunger.
D. To introduce a wonder crop for climate change.
C
Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala (大脑杏仁核) involved in stress processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, indicating the potential benefits of nature. “But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be solved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,” says Sonja Sudimac.
To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature has beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.
“The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress,” explains Simone Kühn, head of the group.
The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk. This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health. Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain.
In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their babies.
28. What does the hen-and-egg problem refer to
A. A problem hard to clarify.
B. A problem easy to deal with.
C. A problem common to be seen .
D. A problem unnecessary to solve.
29. How did researchers collect evidence for the study
A. By quoting authoritative experts.
B. By interviewing healthy volunteers.
C. By researching on a previous theory.
D. By comparing volunteers’ amygdala activities.
30. What contribution did Simone’s team mainly make
A. Confirming nature’s benefits to brain health.
B. Supporting a commonview of urban exposure.
C. Revealing the link between age and mental health.
D. Identifying the causes of mental health problems.
31. What may the follow-up research focus on
A. Benefits of a regular walk in nature.
B. An appeal for living in urban regions.
C. Nature’s positive effects on different groups.
D. Relationship between nature and brain health.

How to Listen Actively
In the course of the last 20 years, I was a taker. Everything was all about me. But that has changed for me. I consistently look for ways to help others—personally and professionally.I now focus on what the other person needs before my own needs as a way to build stronger relationships.
32
What is active listening Active listening is an analytical exercise. 33 To make active listening more effective, you can also add complementary(互补的) skill sets. Mirroring what people have just said in your own words helps them feel heard and helps ensure your understanding is accurate. That is why active listening, not listening while doing, is essential for building better relationships with your team.
34 Learning to become an active listener requires you to slow down, have patience, and learn to ignore distractions (especially emails and texts). Techniques like reflective listening can help. If you are regularly repeating what has been said, you won’t miss any part of the conversation. 35 This helps build trust, making the speakers like you more and therefore more likely work on what you both agree on.
What will active listening do for you and your career Active listening isn’t just about managing a team member or a conflict. Do leaders respond to the concerns and issues they hear from the staff Do you have the skill set to actively listen and address them 36 If you do it, you might just find your team or your organization is more adaptive than most ones.
A. I am able to do that when I stop talking and start listening.
B. You also show that the speaker has your full attention.
C. These are the questions employees are asking.
D. What should you do to benefit your speaker
E. How do you become a better active listener
F. It requires concentration on what is said.
G. Why do you want to be a listener

It is hard to give a precise definition of Western art. Perhaps the best way 52 　(understand) Western art is to look at the development of Western painting over the centuries. During the Middle Ages, the purpose 53 Western art was to teach people about Christianity. Thus, artists were not interested inpainting realistic 54 (scene). This began to change in the 13th century with Giotto di Bondone, 55 paintingsshowed real people in a real environment. Next came the Renaissance, when old ideas and values 56 (replace) gradually by new ones from the Middle Ages. Painters adopted a more humanistic attitude to life, 57 (use) perspective and oil paints. The emphasis 58 (increasing) shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us. After the invention ofphotography, paintings were no longer needed to preserve 59 people and the world looked like. As a result, Impressionism emerged in France. The name of this new movement came from 60 painting by Claude Monet called Impression, Sunrise. In this work, Monet’s aim was to convey the light and movement in the scene. After impressionism, Picasso, one of the painters of Modern Art, used Cubism, a new way, to analyse the shapes which 61 (exist) in the natural world. What modern artists attempted to do was no longer show reality, but instead to ask the question, “What is art ”

It was four weeks before New Year, and our youth group wanted to do something together as a New Year project for our community. The concept was great, but none of us seventeen-year-olds had any idea what to do.
“Maybe we could have a food drive to help the homeless,” John suggested at our Sunday night meeting. “But we have done that many times,” answered Brian with a frown.
Ten minutes passed without any proposal good enough to win our hearts. Finally, I decided to speak, “Why don’t we think about our project for a few days and then come back with three or four suggestions we can vote on ” Everyone agreed to wait a week before deciding.
I knew time was running out to get something going before New Year, but I had no clue what we should do. During the following week, one idea after another ran through my mind, but I was still indecisive.
Thursday after school, I wandered into the kitchen as my dad prepared for dinner. Sensing my uneasiness, he asked what troubled me without even looking up. “Well... it...” I let out a long breath, “Our youth group wants to do something for New Year, but we don’t know what to do...”
“Hmm.” my dad thought out loud, “There’s a seniors’ home(敬老院) I’ve worked with close to St. Joseph’s Hospital. The residents don’t get out much around New Year with the snow and ice. It might be an idea to take them out to see the New Year lights around here.”
I stood still for a few moments thinking of all the spectacularNew Year light displays in our neighborhood. To be honest, I never thought about that, but it might just work.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
