Archan Chan recalls her first experience working in a Chinese restaurant more than 14 years ago. Employed as an apprentice (学徒) chef, she was one of just two women in the kitchen — the other’s only job was to beat eggs. “She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess for a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchen back then, you had to be the best in something,” she says.
Today, Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook, one of Hong Kong’s most popular restaurants. After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapore, she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top of a high-end Chinese restaurant. That’s an impressive achievement, given how unbelievably challenging it has been for women to show in high-end Chinese kitchens.
Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world. But the situation is even severer in Chinese kitchens. There’s no denying the work is physically demanding — an empty pot weighs about 2.2 kilograms. In the past, few chefs would risk employing a female trainee into that tough environment.
Given all of these barriers, not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs of a shift in mindset — the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.
“Even if it’s a kitchen almost full of men, all everyone cares about is food — the cooking. They don’t care if you’re a male or female. Gender shouldn’t matter,” Chan says.
“Yes, there is a physical barrier but I think the mental barrier may be more of a barrier to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens,”Chan adds. “It isn’t just about how much you want it but how much hard work you’re willing to put into it. There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can’t move them anymore, but the next day, you’re stronger and may be able to work a heavier work.”
4. What can we learn about Archan Chan
A. She got a rapid promotion.
B. She does best in beating eggs.
C. She is the best female chef in China.
D. She made a great achievement in her career.
5. What’s a cause of very few female chefs in professional kitchens
A. Kitchen is a tough place for women.
B. Women are afraid of physical work.
C. Customers care about the gender of the chef.
D. Women face both mental and physical barriers.
6. Which of the following can best describe Archan Chan
A. Strong-willed. B. Open-minded.
C. Cool-headed. D. Kind-hearted.
7. What would be the best title for the text
A. Female chefs have risen to the top.
B. Female chefs have long been a minority.
C. Female chefs are proving doubters wrong.
D. Female chefs are replacing male chefs gradually.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】

C
Ever been hungry enough to eat a house Now, you actually could.
Food waste is a big problem in Japan and globally. Japan produced around 5.7 million tons of food waste in 2019. The government plans to reduce that by around 2.7 million tons by 2030. Tokyo University researchers Kota Machida and Yuya Sakai have developed a way to transform food waste into cement (水泥) for construction use and more. This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste. The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature — it’s also eatable.
Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming. As expected, something this unique took years to develop. It took a few attempts to find just the right process. Kota and Yuya created the unique technology while researching possible environment-friendly materials to replace cement-based concrete. Cement production accounts for 8% of the world’s carbon dioxide release.
After a few failures, they realized they could get the cement to bind (黏合) by adjusting the temperatures. “The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures,” Yuya said. So the researchers had to observe them and respond in time. In the experiments, Kota and Yuya have successfully made cement using tea leaves, coffee grounds, cabbage and even lunchbox leftovers.
Fabula Inc. is currently working to make tea cups and furniture, but Yuya is thinking a little bit bigger. Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. “For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement,” he said. To eat the material, a person needs to break it apart and boil it.
8. What’s mainly talked about in paragraph 1 and 2
A. The functions of this particular cement.
B. The effects of food waste in the whole world.
C. The characteristics of the newly made cement.
D. The process of transforming food waste to cement.
9. Which is one of Kota and Yuya’s purposes in making use of food waste
A. To handle global climate change.
B. To extend concrete’s service life.
C. To offer Fabula Inc. more cement.
D. To warn how serious food waste is.
10. What made the experiment of making cement out of food waste harder
A. Making sure to make cement tasty.
B. Selecting correct food waste timely.
C. Getting cement broken apart easily.
D. Adjusting the temperatures constantly.
11. What does the underlined word “makeshift” in the last paragraph mean
A. bendable. B. commercial. C. recyclable. D. temporary.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种用粮食垃圾制造的一种新型可以食用的水泥。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste. The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature — it’s also eatable. (这是第一个完全从食物垃圾中制造水泥的过程。研究人员表示，他们的产品的强度是传统混凝土的四倍。这种特殊的水泥也可以用来制作茶杯或椅子之类的东西。然而，它还有一个额外的特点——它也是可以吃的。)”可知，这两段主要讨论了新制水泥的特点。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming. (Kota和Yuya是Fabula公司成立背后的智慧，这家公司的宗旨是减少食物浪费，帮助对抗全球变暖。)”可知，Kota和Yuya利用食物垃圾是为了应对全球气候变化。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures. (最具挑战性的部分是每种食物垃圾需要不同的温度。)”可知，需要不断调节温度让从食物垃圾中制造水泥的实验变得更加困难。故选D项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. (他们的产品可以在灾难中以可食用的紧急避难所的形式提供救济。)”说明他们的产品可以用作临时紧急避难所，从而推知划线词句“For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement. (例如，如果食物不能送到人们手中，他们可以吃用食品水泥做成的makeshift床。)”其中划线词汇意思为“临时的，暂时的”，即：如果赈灾食品不能及时到位，被困人员可以吃食品水泥做成的临时床救急，故选D项。
D
Advanced technology brings with it a lot of benefits to us. You can now prevent the speech of a single target person from being recorded by using a device called voice jammer.
Voice jammers work much like noise-canceling headphones, which effectively remove unwanted background sound waves out of existence by playing back a copy of the unwanted sound with its wave pattern inverted (反向的).
Such voice jammers generally stop electronic eavesdropping (窃听) on conversations by broadcasting inverse sound waves that affect all microphones within earshot.
This can prevent nearby people’s phones from picking up their voices if they try to make a call, and can stop them interacting with smart assistants, warning that something strange is going on.
Now Qiben Yan at Michigan State University and his colleagues have created a voice jammer that can target a specific voice without causing interruption to anyone else. They did this by training an artificial intelligence called a neural network to isolate (隔断) a speaker’s voice, allowing the jammer to create an inverse sound matched to their speech.
Rather than sending an audible sound, their tool, called Neural Enhanced Cancellation (NEC), makes use of a bug found in all but the most expensive microphones. This bug introduces sounds at set distances above and below the microphone’s recording frequencies. NEC is able to play its inverse speech in the ultrasonic (超声波) range, so that humans can’t hear it. Doing this at the point of recording provides the necessary frequencies to secretly block an audible voice.
The team found that NEC blocked voices on a range of smartphones from Apple, Xiaomi and Samsung at a distance of up to 3.6 metres. And this technology could be useful.
12. How do voice jammers prevent a speech from being recorded
A. By playing inverse sound waves. B. By interacting with smart assistants.
C. By keeping wave pattern unchanged. D. By broadcasting different sound waves.
13. What does Paragraph 6 focus on
A. Stressing the importance of NEC. B. Showing the steps of using NEC.
C. Describing the disadvantages of NEC. D. Explaining the working theory of NEC.
14. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The NEC blocking voices. B. A device against eavesdropping.
C A bug playing inverse sound waves. D. The technology changing the speech.
15. What might be discussed in the following paragraph
A. Disadvantages of voice jammers. B. Public opinions on voice jammers.
C Further development of voice jammers. D. Potential applications of voice jammers.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是一项叫NEC的声音干扰器的相关信息。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Voice jammers work much like noise-canceling headphones, which effectively remove unwanted background sound waves out of existence by playing back a copy of the unwanted sound with its wave pattern inverted (反向的).(语音干扰器的工作原理很像降噪耳机，通过反向播放不需要的声音的副本，有效地消除了不需要的背景声波。)”可知，语音干扰器是通过播放反向声波来防止讲话被录音，故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第六段的“Rather than sending an audible sound, their tool, called Neural Enhanced Cancellation (NEC), makes use of a bug found in all but the most expensive microphones. This bug introduces sounds at set distances above and below the microphone’s recording frequencies. NEC is able to play its inverse speech in the ultrasonic (超声波) range, so that humans can’t hear it. Doing this at the point of recording provides the necessary frequencies to secretly block an audible voice.(他们的工具叫做NEC，并不是发送可听到的声音，而是利用了除了最昂贵的麦克风之外所有麦克风都存在的一个漏洞。此错误在麦克风的录音频率上下设定的距离引入声音。NEC能够在超声波范围内播放逆语音，这样人类就听不到了。在录音时这样做可以提供必要的频率来秘密地屏蔽声音。)”可知，第6段主要阐述了NEC的工作原理。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第五段的“Now Qiben Yan at Michigan State University and his colleagues have created a voice jammer that can target a specific voice without causing interruption to anyone else.(现在，密歇根州立大学的严启本和他的同事们发明了一种声音干扰器，可以针对特定的声音，而不会打断其他人。)”和第六段的“Rather than sending an audible sound, their tool, called Neural Enhanced Cancellation (NEC), makes use of a bug found in all but the most expensive microphones.(他们的工具叫做NEC，并不是发送可听到的声音，而是利用了除了最昂贵的麦克风之外所有麦克风都存在的一个漏洞。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项叫NEC的声音干扰器的相关信息，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The team found that NEC blocked voices on a range of smartphones from Apple, Xiaomi and Samsung at a distance of up to 3.6 metres. And this technology could be useful.(研究小组发现，NEC在苹果、小米和三星的一系列智能手机上屏蔽了高达3.6米的声音。这项技术可能很有用。)”可知，接下来的一段可能会介绍语音干扰器的潜在应用。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
To hug or not to hug That’s the question right now. ____16____ Depending on where you live, many of us are vaccinated (打疫苗). But it’s hard to know for sure before you hug whether or not the person you’re leaning into has got vaccinated. Meanwhile, many of us are longing for the warmth of a hug after long stretches of social isolation. Humans biologically need touch, and a good long hug is one of the best ways to get it.
Degge White, a professor at Northern Illinois University, says that our need for a hug goes all the way back to the survival of our species. When we’re born, we can’t care for ourselves and we need to be comfortable with being held in order to survive. ____17____ “When we hug, our brains release oxytocin, the bonding hormone (荷尔蒙), as well as serotonin and endorphins.”
____18____ Because for humans, the security of our small groups and later communities was very important to survival. Close contact helped build civilization. As a result, our brains need each other—and when we miss out, it can have psychological repercussions (心理影响). “When we can’t hug, we don’t get that feeling of good hormones.”
We may not know what we’re getting from greeting our friends and family with a hug; we just enjoy it. ____19____ An air greeting is not enough. Research published in the journal Psychological Science has shown that hugging has a “stress buffering (缓冲)” effect that may even protect us from illness and infections.
Some people grow up in more formal households where hugging isn’t common. Others may experience abuse that makes hugging unpleasant. In both cases, when children don’t experience healthy touch, it can impact their development. Kids who didn’t grow up being held miss out on that sense of safety and protection. They may act out or isolate from those around them. ____20____ Some children may show too much affection, desiring any form of positive attention that they didn’t get at home.
A. In some cases, the opposite may also be true.
B. This bond and sense of community has an important role.
C. We’re in an uncertain place in the world of greetings manner.
D. It isn’t until those experiences are taken away that we feel pain and sadness.
E. When friends reach out in preparation for a hug, they feel hormones increasing.
F. We’re rewarded with a rush of feel-good chemicals that come from a comfortable hug.
G. The lack of touching might imply cold attitudes in interpersonal relationships.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. B 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是我们为什么需要拥抱。
【16题详解】
空前说“To hug or not to hug That’s the question right now.(拥抱还是不拥抱？这就是现在的问题。)”，空后说“Depending on where you live, many of us are vaccinated (打疫苗). But it’s hard to know for sure before you hug whether or not the person you’re leaning into has got vaccinated.(取决于你生活的地方，我们中的许多人都接种了疫苗，但在你拥抱之前，很难确定你要拥抱的人是否接种了疫苗。)”，因此空格处应该说我们现在对于要不要采用拥抱这种问候方式是不确定的，C选项“We’re in an uncertain place in the world of greetings manner.(在问候方式的世界里，我们处在一个不确定的位置。)”说明了我们处在不确定的位置，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
空前说“When we’re born, we can’t care for ourselves and we need to be comfortable with being held in order to survive.(当我们出生时，我们不能照顾自己，为了生存，我们需要舒服地被抱着。)”，空格处应该说我们被抱着时会有什么感觉，F选项“We’re rewarded with a rush of feel-good chemicals that come from a comfortable hug.(一个舒适的拥抱会给我们带来一种感觉良好的化学物质。)”说明了我们被抱着会有什么感觉，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。
【18题详解】
空后说“Because for humans, the security of our small groups and later communities was very important to survival. Close contact helped build civilization.(因为对于人类来说，我们的小群体和后来的社区的安全对生存非常重要。)”，空格处应该说人们之间的联系很重要，B选项“This bond and sense of community has an important role.(这种纽带和社区意识有着重要的作用。)”引起下文人们之间的联系很重要，因此符合语境，故选B。
【19题详解】
空前说“We may not know what we’re getting from greeting our friends and family with a hug; we just enjoy it.(我们可能不知道用拥抱问候我们的朋友和家人会得到什么；我们只是享受它。)”，空格处应该说明如果我们有一天没有了拥抱会怎么样，D选项“It isn’t until those experiences are taken away that we feel pain and sadness.(直到这些经历消失，我们才会感到痛苦和悲伤。)”说明了我们没有了拥抱会觉得痛苦，“痛苦”和前面的“享受”相对应，故选D。
【20题详解】
空前“Some people grow up in more formal households where hugging isn’t common. Others may experience abuse that makes hugging unpleasant.(有些人在比较正式的家庭中长大，拥抱并不常见。其他人可能会经历虐待，让拥抱变得不愉快。)”，空后说“Some children may show too much affection, desiring any form of positive attention that they didn’t get at home.(有些孩子可能会表现出太多的爱，渴望他们在家里没有得到的任何形式的积极关注。)”，空格处应该是引起转折的，A选项“In some cases, the opposite may also be true.(在某些情况下，反过来也可能是真的。)”引出了和空前内容相反的下文，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选A。

第二节 读后续写(满分20分)
57. 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 heart pounded as I stared at the screen. I re-read the message from my friend, Noelle. Someone had upset her by sharing her personal news, a recent development Noelle had shared with only a few close friends, including me. She didn’t know who let the word out, but she was hurt and disappointed.
I felt so guilty. I knew how the news had got out because I had been the one to tell someone else. Honestly, I hadn’t realized she meant to keep it so close to home, but at the same time I’d known it wasn’t a good idea when I started to tell it to someone else.
Did she really not know it was me It would have been easy to come clean and apologize if her note was an accusation. But it read as though it had been copied and pasted to several people. So I chose the coward’s way out.
“I’m so sorry that happened to you,” I typed. “How awful that your confidence was broken.”
I hoped that would do. Her reply came back within seconds: “Thank you.”
Surely, that would be good enough. I didn’t take responsibility for my actions, but I’d sympathized with her pain. It would be okay for me to remain anonymous (不公开姓名的) as long as I was sorry, wouldn’t it
But deep down, I knew I’d been the one to break faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only of my original action, but because I’d put wrong upon wrong by covering it up.
I felt miserable at church on Sunday. I tried to avoid communication. Watching others take part while I sat in silence was a painful experience-one I never wanted to repeat.
Later, the speaker in the church challenged us to examine ourselves and see if anything stood in the way to being the best of ourselves, and if so, we should not to let it stop us and we needed to clear it away.
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。
I knew what stood between me and doing the right thing:my reputation.

I went straight to Noelle after the church.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I knew what stood between me and doing the right thing:my reputation. That’s what I feared losing if I told Noelle the truth. Of course, she would be disappointed at me, but deep down I dreaded the possibility she’d tell others, thinking of which, I was more than hesitant to confess. Yet I was troubled by my conscience: what was my reputation, compared to doing the right thing To remain silent would make that reputation a lie anyway. To confess or not I was almost torn in the dilemma. After what seemed like ages, with a deep breath, I made the decision.
I went straight to Noelle after the church. I first confessed my act of gossip and then how bad I had felt about not confessing my mistake. With all poured out, I felt a great sense of relief. A flicker of disbelief and shock crossed her face but luckily for me, Noelle showed grace and forgave me eventually. We parted that day on good terms and are still friends. I never heard if she told my wrongdoing to anyone else, but even if she did, I know that telling the truth and asking for forgiveness cleared me of shame and set my heart free. (After all, right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.

Archan Chan recalls her first experience working in a Chinese restaurant more than 14 years ago. Employed as an apprentice (学徒) chef, she was one of just two women in the kitchen — the other’s only job was to beat eggs. “She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess for a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchen back then, you had to be the best in something,” she says.
Today, Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook, one of Hong Kong’s most popular restaurants. After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapore, she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top of a high-end Chinese restaurant. That’s an impressive achievement, given how unbelievably challenging it has been for women to show in high-end Chinese kitchens.
Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world. But the situation is even severer in Chinese kitchens. There’s no denying the work is physically demanding — an empty pot weighs about 2.2 kilograms. In the past, few chefs would risk employing a female trainee into that tough environment.
Given all of these barriers, not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs of a shift in mindset — the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.
“Even if it’s a kitchen almost full of men, all everyone cares about is food — the cooking. They don’t care if you’re a male or female. Gender shouldn’t matter,” Chan says.
“Yes, there is a physical barrier but I think the mental barrier may be more of a barrier to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens,”Chan adds. “It isn’t just about how much you want it but how much hard work you’re willing to put into it. There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can’t move them anymore, but the next day, you’re stronger and may be able to work a heavier work.”

Food waste is a big problem in Japan and globally. Japan produced around 5.7 million tons of food waste in 2019. The government plans to reduce that by around 2.7 million tons by 2030. Tokyo University researchers Kota Machida and Yuya Sakai have developed a way to transform food waste into cement (水泥) for construction use and more. This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste. The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature — it’s also eatable.
Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming. As expected, something this unique took years to develop. It took a few attempts to find just the right process. Kota and Yuya created the unique technology while researching possible environment-friendly materials to replace cement-based concrete. Cement production accounts for 8% of the world’s carbon dioxide release.
After a few failures, they realized they could get the cement to bind (黏合) by adjusting the temperatures. “The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures,” Yuya said. So the researchers had to observe them and respond in time. In the experiments, Kota and Yuya have successfully made cement using tea leaves, coffee grounds, cabbage and even lunchbox leftovers.
Fabula Inc. is currently working to make tea cups and furniture, but Yuya is thinking a little bit bigger. Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. “For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement,” he said. To eat the material, a person needs to break it apart and boil it.
8. What’s mainly talked about in paragraph 1 and 2
A. The functions of this particular cement.
B. The effects of food waste in the whole world.
C. The characteristics of the newly made cement.
D. The process of transforming food waste to cement.
9. Which is one of Kota and Yuya’s purposes in making use of food waste
A. To handle global climate change.
B. To extend concrete’s service life.
C. To offer Fabula Inc. more cement.
D. To warn how serious food waste is.
10. What made the experiment of making cement out of food waste harder
A. Making sure to make cement tasty.
B. Selecting correct food waste timely.
C. Getting cement broken apart easily.
D. Adjusting the temperatures constantly.
11. What does the underlined word “makeshift” in the last paragraph mean
A. bendable. B. commercial. C. recyclable. D. temporary.
D
Advanced technology brings with it a lot of benefits to us. You can now prevent the speech of a single target person from being recorded by using a device called voice jammer.
Voice jammers work much like noise-canceling headphones, which effectively remove unwanted background sound waves out of existence by playing back a copy of the unwanted sound with its wave pattern inverted (反向的).
Such voice jammers generally stop electronic eavesdropping (窃听) on conversations by broadcasting inverse sound waves that affect all microphones within earshot.
This can prevent nearby people’s phones from picking up their voices if they try to make a call, and can stop them interacting with smart assistants, warning that something strange is going on.
Now Qiben Yan at Michigan State University and his colleagues have created a voice jammer that can target a specific voice without causing interruption to anyone else. They did this by training an artificial intelligence called a neural network to isolate (隔断) a speaker’s voice, allowing the jammer to create an inverse sound matched to their speech.
Rather than sending an audible sound their tool, called Neural Enhanced Cancellation (NEC), makes use of a bug found in all but the most expensive microphones. This bug introduces sounds at set distances above and below the microphone’s recording frequencies. NEC is able to play its inverse speech in the ultrasonic (超声波) range, so that humans can’t hear it. Doing this at the point of recording provides the necessary frequencies to secretly block an audible voice.
The team found that NEC blocked voices on a range of smartphones from Apple, Xiaomi and Samsung at a distance of up to 3.6 metres. And this technology could be useful.
12. How do voice jammers prevent a speech from being recorded
A. By playing inverse sound waves. B. By interacting with smart assistants.
C. By keeping wave pattern unchanged. D. By broadcasting different sound waves.
13. What does Paragraph 6 focus on
A. Stressing the importance of NEC. B. Showing the steps of using NEC.
C. Describing the disadvantages of NEC. D. Explaining the working theory of NEC.
14. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The NEC blocking voices. B. A device against eavesdropping.
C. A bug playing inverse sound waves. D. The technology changing the speech.
15. What might be discussed in the following paragraph
A. Disadvantages of voice jammers. B. Public opinions on voice jammers.
C. Further development of voice jammers. D. Potential applications of voice jammers.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
To hug or not to hug That’s the question right now. ____16____ Depending on where you live, many of us are vaccinated (打疫苗). But it’s hard to know for sure before you hug whether or not the person you’re leaning into has got vaccinated. Meanwhile, many of us are longing for the warmth of a hug after long stretches of social isolation. Humans biologically need touch, and a good long hug is one of the best ways to get it.
Degge White, a professor at Northern Illinois University, says that our need for a hug goes all the way back to the survival of our species. When we’re born, we can’t care for ourselves and we need to be comfortable with being held in order to survive. ____17____ “When we hug, our brains release oxytocin, the bonding hormone (荷尔蒙), as well as serotonin and endorphins.”
____18____ Because for humans, the security of our small groups and later communities was very important to survival. Close contact helped build civilization. As a result, our brains need each other—and when we miss out, it can have psychological repercussions (心理影响). “When we can’t hug, we don’t get that feeling of good hormones.”
We may not know what we’re getting from greeting our friends and family with a hug; we just enjoy it. ____19____ An air greeting is not enough. Research published in the journal Psychological Science has shown that hugging has a “stress buffering (缓冲)” effect that may even protect us from illness and infections.
Some people grow up in more formal households where hugging isn’t common. Others may experience abuse that makes hugging unpleasant. In both cases, when children don’t experience healthy touch, it can impact their development. Kids who didn’t grow up being held miss out on that sense of safety and protection. They may act out or isolate from those around them. ____20____ Some children may show too much affection, desiring any form of positive attention that they didn’t get at home.
A. In some cases, the opposite may also be true.
B. This bond and sense of community has an important role.
C. We’re in an uncertain place in the world of greetings manner.
D. It isn’t until those experiences are taken away that we feel pain and sadness.
E. When friends reach out in preparation for a hug, they feel hormones increasing.
F. We’re rewarded with a rush of feel-good chemicals that come from a comfortable hug.
G. The lack of touching might imply cold attitudes in interpersonal relationships.

57. 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 heart pounded as I stared at the screen. I re-read the message from my friend, Noelle. Someone had upset her by sharing her personal news, a recent development Noelle had shared with only a few close friends, including me. She didn’t know who let the word out, but she was hurt and disappointed.
I felt so guilty. I knew how the news had got out because I had been the one to tell someone else. Honestly, I hadn’t realized she meant to keep it so close to home, but at the same time I’d known it wasn’t a good idea when I started to tell it to someone else.
Did she really not know it was me It would have been easy to come clean and apologize if her note was an accusation. But it read as though it had been copied and pasted to several people. So I chose the coward’s way out.
“I’m so sorry that happened to you,” I typed. “How awful that your confidence was broken.”
I hoped that would do. Her reply came back within seconds: “Thank you.”
Surely, that would be good enough. I didn’t take responsibility for my actions, but I’d sympathized with her pain. It would be okay for me to remain anonymous (不公开姓名的) as long as I was sorry, wouldn’t it
But, deep down, I knew I’d been the one to break faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only of my original action, but because I’d put wrong upon wrong by covering it up.
I felt miserable at church on Sunday. I tried to avoid communication. Watching others take part while I sat in silence was a painful experience-one I never wanted to repeat.
Later, the speaker in the church challenged us to examine ourselves and see if anything stood in the way to being the best of ourselves, and if so, we should not to let it stop us and we needed to clear it away.
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。
I knew what stood between me and doing the right thing:my reputation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I went straight to Noelle after the church.
