第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
There are very few countries in the world that don’t have some sort of legend (传说) or connect ion with dragons. Here are some great destinations to get a fi x on dragon.
France
Calais in France has a dragon standing 33 feet tall, 82 feet long, with a wingspan of more than 55 feet. It walks and moves as you would imagine a dragon does, and you can take it for a ride. The Calais dragon is a mechanical wonder, which is nearly too real to be called a fairground creature.
Wales
In the UK, you will find a proud dragon country, Wales. Here there is the legend of two dragons: one white and one red. Wales’ tale describes the two dragons fighting and the red one winning, so you will find it difficult to hurry about the country without coming across a red dragon. Dragons are sold in souvenir shops, sit by ancient castles, hang around in King Arthur’s Labyrinth, and are featured on the national flag.
Norway
The Vikings knew a thing or two about dragons. In the lovely film How to Train Your Dragon, they even flew them. But seriously, when you dig into Norway’s Viking history and legends, you will find dragons mentioned everywhere, though not as cute as those in the film. From the figurehead in the Viking Ship Museum to jewelry, and decorations on buildings, be on the lookout for them when visiting Norway.
Bhutan
The Druk or Thunder Dragon, is the national symbol and appears everywhere. The country is called Land of the Thunder Dragon, or Kingdom of Druk, and it’s part of the national anthem (国歌) and its flag. Despite its fearful name, it’s actually rather cute. The legend has it that the sound of thunder through the mountain s is actually the dragon roaring.
21．What can we learn about the Calais dragon
A．It’s a character from a popular film. B．It’s a creation designed for entertainment.
C．It’s a real creature trained for rides. D．It’s a sculpture displayed in a museum.
22．What do Wales and Bhutan have in common on dragons
A．They feature dragons on their flags. B．They include dragons in their anthems.
C．They have a legend of two dragons. D．They describe dragons as cute images.
23．Which country associates dragons with a natural phenomenon
A．France. B．Wales. C．Norway. D．Bhutan.

We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder.
Toward the end of my high school year, our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia. My classmates and I egged one another on ironically (讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show The performers’ clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange. But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wancara drums around the stage and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound—new to us.
We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening. Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared. I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.
I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America. But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country has been alive longer than that. Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination. Why do I remember it so clearly decades later
In his recent book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do.” Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier. “Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.”
Moving forward, let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum (课程). So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.
24．How did the students initially react to the Andean band’s performance
A．They showed respect for it. B．They approached it with doubt.
C．They left in disappointment. D．They felt joyful to appreciate it.
25．What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．A deep understanding of music. B．A strong enthusiasm for exploration.
C．A negative attitude to the world. D．A sense of connection with society.
26．What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A．The importance of finding happiness in life.
B．The lasting impact of a memorable experience.
C．The benefits of understanding different cultures.
D．The positive role of awe in improving one’s life.
27．Who is the text intended for
A．Teachers. B．High school graduates.
C．Parents. D．Psychology researchers.

Humans are not the animal kingdom’s only fashionistas (时尚达人). Tits (山雀) can be fashion-victims, too. A study published, by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin of the Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Biology shows that, given the chance, they decorate their nests with this season’s must-have color.
Dr Wild and Dr Aplin were following up work published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams, an American naturalist. He noticed that when he put various colored balls of yarn (纱线) out in his garden, almost always one and only one became popular that season for incorporation into local birds’ nests. But which particular color was favored varied from season to season. This suggested that the color chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others.
The birds chosen by Dr Wild and Dr Aplin were part of a well-monitored population of blue, great and marsh tits in a wood near the institute. Most birds in this wood carry transponders (发射机应答器) fitted to them after their capture in mist nets. That allows the institute’s researchers to keep track of a vast number of individuals by logging their arrival at food dispensers (投放器) placed throughout the wood.
One day in March 2021 Dr Wild, Dr Aplin and their collaborators employed five dispensers loaded with wool rather than food. Each contained threads of two colors — either orange and pink or blue and purple — but all were set to dispense only one of these. This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser. At that moment, the other color was made available, too.
Of 68 tits’ nests built that season in the experimental areas, 26 included wool from a dispenser. Of these, 18 were constructed after both colors had become available from all dispensers. Even so, 10 of that 18 included only the color of wool first chosen by a nest builder.
Tits, then, do seem to be “on trend” when it comes to nest-building materials. Why that should happen remains unknown. Dr Wild and Dr Aplin suspect the trendsetters are older birds, and that evolution favors younger ones copying their elders since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit.
28．What can we learn from Williams’ work published in 1934
A．Local birds like to make their nests colorful.
B．Local birds can adapt well to seasonal changes.
C．Bright colors are always favored by local birds.
D．Early birds can lead the way in their color choices.
29．What is special about the birds studied by Dr Wild and Dr Aplin
A．They are well equipped to be tracked. B．Their nests come in a variety of colors.
C．Their population is gradually declining. D．They are good at finding foods in woods.
30．What were the five dispensers used to do in the experiment
A．To provide two colors at different times.
B．To attract more birds by offering different colors.
C．To mix different colors for the birds to choose from.
D．To test the effect of different colors on the feeding of tits.
31．What is Dr Wild and Dr Aplin’s assumption according to the last paragraph
A．Younger birds have a good sense of fashion.
B．Older birds have an appeal in setting the fashion.
C．Older birds force younger ones to follow in their steps.
D．Younger birds can influence older birds’ choice of color.
D
“Sorry, I’m just now seeing your email!” (You sent it 15 minutes ago.)
“Sorry that you completely misinterpreted that thing I said.”
“Sorry you just rammed into me with your grocery-store cart.”
“Sorry” has become commonplace in daily conversations and communications. We drop it indiscriminately for all manner of things we really shouldn’t be sorry for. Is it time to stop
“I wasn’t really that sorry,” admits Louise Julig, a freelance writer in Encinitas, Calif., who found she was constantly apologizing for the “delay” when replying to notes, even when there wasn’t much of a delay at all. “Sorry has lost its meaning, no longer a heartfelt declaration of remorse (悔恨) but just a subconscious response,” said Louise Julig. Now, faced with a blank email, Ms. Julig asks herself, did I miss something, or mess someone else up If the answer is no, she’s not sorry.
I understand very well how she feels. When I searched my sent emails for the phrase, “Sorry for the delay,” the result was too many hits for Gmail to give me an exact count. I tried, in the course of reporting this column, to cut back on my apologies. Mostly I failed, catching myself exclaiming sorry! I apologized to the person I contacted for this piece when I called three minutes later than I was supposed to; then I apologized for only being able to meet him on the day I suggested, not the other; I even apologized in advance for any offence I might cause to him during the conversation.
While apologizing too much in daily life may not have serious consequences, doing so in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble—you’re giving away your power, says Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Exhibiting vulnerability (脆弱) only makes you look weak. Standing your ground comes with risks. You might not be liked. But he thinks it’s worth it. “You can either give in to what people want you to be, or you can decide that you are going to risk offending people. Life is about trade-offs (权衡),” he says.
32．What did Louise Julig realize at last
A．She couldn’t help but delay replying to others’ notes.
B．She had a misunderstanding of the meaning of “sorry”.
C．She didn’t have to say “sorry” under many circumstances.
D．She often got people into trouble by delaying answering emails.
33．What does the author find difficult
A．Apologizing by making a phone call. B．Reducing the frequency of apologies.
C．Stopping someone from apologizing. D．Finding out why people often apologize.
34．What does Jeffrey Pfeffer advise businessmen to do
A．To take others’ apologies seriously. B．To avoid offending people on purpose.
C．To maintain power by avoiding apologizing. D．To make sincere apologies whenever necessary.
35．What does the text mainly talk about
A．Why we can gain benefits by apologizing. B．Why apologies are unnecessary in society.
C．Why apologizing too much is not favored. D．Why apologizing can offend people sometimes.

Every winter is the peak season for pneumonia (肺炎). Since the beginning of this winter, children in the northern regions, in particular, have faced an unprecedented rise in this situation. 36
Overview
Pneumonia makes your lungs sick. It happens when germs like bacteria or viruses go into your lungs, making them full of yucky stuff like pus. Going to the doctor quickly is extremely important to get the right treatment. 37
Recognizing Symptoms (症状)
38 If you keep coughing a lot, have a high fever, or find it hard to breathe, see a doctor as soon as possible. Finding out early helps the doctor treat you faster. It also makes it less likely for bad things to happen.
39
When you have pneumonia caused by bacteria, the doctor might give you medicine called antibiotics (抗生素). It’s really important to finish all the medicine the doctor gives you, even if you feel better. Using it the wrong way can make them not work well in the future.
Supportive Care
Taking care of yourself is of equal importance. Drink enough water, and use medicine you can buy without a prescription (处方) for things like fever and pain. 40 In fact, getting plenty of rest can also speed up the recovery process.
A．Proper Treatment
B．Or it could be deadly.
C．But, it could be expensive.
D．Make sure not to overwork yourself.
E．That is why there has seen a large number of severe cases this year.
F．When signs similar to the flu appear, you should be especially cautious.
G．So, it is essential for everyone to have some knowledge about pneumonia.

67．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。
Snowed In
Waiting and praying were a daily routine for Barbara Schmitt, but today the prayers were more intense. Her three-year-old granddaughter, Michelle, had been showing danger signs that made an immediate liver transplant critical, but the telephone was as silent as the snowy scene outside.
Then at nine in the morning, the phone rang. A hospital in Omaha had located the right liver donor, they were sure it was a match for Michelle, and they needed her there within 12 hours. Barbara couldn’t tell what to do first — rejoice or despair, as they were snowbound (被雪困住的), 600 miles away. “We’re snowed in,” Barbara told the medical coordinator on the line, “and the airport is 17 miles away and there’s no way we’re going to get there.” “Don’t give up,” the woman told Barbara. “You have 12 hours to reach Omaha!”
Fortunately, the phone lines were still working, so she started calling Sharon Stevens, who runs Hair Angels, a fund for children with special needs. Sharon had already lined up a Lear jet (医疗飞机) and two pilots to fly the Schmitts to Omaha when transplant time came. How to get from the Schmitts’ house to the jet was the big question.
Sharon called for help through the local radio station, wanting to invite listeners to call in with ideas and suggestions. Teresa Amshoff heard the story and suggested that the church parking lot next to her house, only a mile from the Schmitts, would make a perfect helicopter landing pad. As precious minutes ticked away, the Amshoffs rushed from door to door, begging for help to clear the lot. Neighbors came without hesitation.
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。
Within half an hour, 50 volunteers were working in winds to clear the area in snow.

Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music(我们在社会研究课上讨论印加文化的时间太少了，但那天晚上，印加的传统对我们来说变得生动起来。一旦精彩的表演点亮了舞台，大厅里充满了音乐，)”以及“I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.(我从椅子上站起来，高兴得跳起舞来。)”可知，在那天晚上，印加的传统对作者来说变得生动起来，精彩的表演和音乐让作者流露出欣赏和喜欢的态度，因此消失不见的是消极的情绪。C选项“A negative attitude to the world.(对世界持消极态度。)”与划线词为同义词。故选C。
26．主旨大意题。根据第五段中“…psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do.” Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier. (心理学教授达彻·凯尔特纳解释说：“短暂的敬畏时刻对你的身心和你所做的任何事情都有好处。”敬畏不仅是一种令人难忘的情感，还能激发好奇心，培养谦逊，有助于批判性思维，让人们感觉更紧密。它甚至让我们更快乐。)”可知，本段主要论述的是敬畏在改善一个人的生活中的积极作用。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Moving forward, let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum(展望未来，让我们尽最大努力在我们的课程中建立敬畏的实例)”以及“Moving forward, let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum. So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.(展望未来，让我们尽最大努力在我们的课程中建立敬畏的实例。因此，多年后，当我们以前的学生在地铁上走近我们时，他们会回忆起在我们课堂上度过的神奇时刻。)”可知，文章建议教师在课程中建立敬畏的实例；同时通读全文可知，文章主要围绕学生的学习和老师如何通过创造“敬畏”的体验来提升教学质量展开，因此面向的对象是教师。故选A。
28．D 29．A 30．A 31．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍山雀也可能成为时尚的追求者。Sonja Wild和Lucy Aplin在《行为生态学与社会生物学》上发表的一项研究表明，如果有机会，它们会用本季必备的颜色装饰巢穴。
28．推理判断题。根据第二段“Dr Wild and Dr Aplin were following up work published in 1934 by Henry Smith Williams, an American naturalist. He noticed that when he put various colored balls of yarn (纱线) out in his garden, almost always one and only one became popular that season for incorporation into local birds’ nests. But which particular color was favored varied from season to season. This suggested that the color chosen by one of the early birds was spotted and copied by others. (怀尔德博士和阿普林博士是在跟进美国博物学家亨利·史密斯·威廉姆斯在1934年发表的研究成果。他注意到，当他在花园里摆放各种颜色的纱线球时，那个季节几乎总是只有一种纱线球成为当地鸟巢的流行材料。但人们喜欢哪种颜色会随着季节的变化而变化。这表明，其中一只早起的鸟儿选择的颜色被其他鸟儿发现并模仿。)”可知，威廉姆斯1934年出版的作品告诉我们，早起的鸟儿在颜色的选择上更胜一筹。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“The birds chosen by Dr Wild and Dr Aplin were part of a well-monitored population of blue, great and marsh tits in a wood near the institute. Most birds in this wood carry transponders (发射机应答器) fitted to them after their capture in mist nets. That allows the institute’s researchers to keep track of a vast number of individuals by logging their arrival at food dispensers (投放器) placed throughout the wood. (怀尔德博士和阿普林博士选择的鸟类是研究所附近森林中受到良好监测的蓝山雀、大山雀和沼泽山雀种群的一部分。这片树林里的大多数鸟在被雾网捕获后，身上都装有应答器。这使得该研究所的研究人员可以通过记录它们到达放置在森林各处的食物分配器来跟踪大量的个体。)”可知，怀尔德博士和阿普林博士研究的鸟类的特别之处是配备了可以被追踪的设备。故选A。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段“ One day in March 2021 Dr Wild, Dr Aplin and their collaborators employed five dispensers loaded with wool rather than food. Each contained threads of two colors — either orange and pink or blue and purple — but all were set to dispense only one of these. This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser. At that moment, the other color was made available, too. (2021年3月的一天，怀尔德博士、阿普林博士和他们的合作者雇佣了5个装羊毛而不是食物的分配器。每条线都包含两种颜色的线——橙色和粉色或蓝色和紫色——但它们都被设置为只分发其中一种。这种情况一直持续到至少有一个当地的巢穴被发现包括来自分配器的羊毛。在那一刻，另一种颜色也可用)”可推知，这五个分配器在实验中被用来在不同的时间提供两种颜色的羊毛。故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr Wild and Dr Aplin suspect the trendsetters are older birds, and that evolution favors younger ones copying their elders since those elders have evidently survived what fortune has to throw at a tit. (怀尔德博士和阿普林博士怀疑，引领潮流的是年龄较大的鸟类，进化倾向于年轻的鸟类模仿它们的长辈，因为这些长辈显然在命运的眷顾下幸存了下来。)”可知，根据最后一段，Wild博士和Aplin博士的假设是年长的鸟儿在引领时尚方面有吸引力。故选B。
32．C 33．B 34．D 35．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今人们道歉太多，形成了一种习惯的问题，作者结合路易丝·朱丽和自身的经历说明了这一问题，指出道歉应当适当运用。
32．细节理解题。根据第五段““I wasn’t really that sorry,” admits Louise Julig, a freelance writer in Encinitas, Calif., who found she was constantly apologizing for the “delay” when replying to notes, even when there wasn’t much of a delay at all. “Sorry has lost its meaning, no longer a heartfelt declaration of remorse (悔恨) but just a subconscious response,” said Louise Julig. (加州恩西尼塔斯的自由撰稿人路易丝 朱丽承认：“我其实并没有那么抱歉。”她发现自己在回复邮件时总是因为“迟到”而道歉，即使根本没有什么延迟。“对不起已经失去了它的意义，不再是发自内心的忏悔，而只是一种潜意识的反应，”路易丝·朱丽说。)”可知，路易丝·朱丽最后意识到她在很多情况下都不必说“对不起”。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“I tried, in the course of reporting this column, to cut back on my apologies. Mostly I failed, catching myself exclaiming sorry! (在撰写这篇专栏文章的过程中，我试图减少道歉。大多数情况下，我都失败了，因为我发觉自己在喊对不起！)”可知，作者认为减少道歉的频率很困难。故选B。
34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“While apologizing too much in daily life may not have serious consequences, doing so in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble—you’re giving away your power, says Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business. (斯坦福大学商学院组织行为学教授杰弗里 普费弗说，虽然在日常生活中道歉太多可能不会产生严重后果，但在商业中道歉，尤其是当你确实做错了事情的时候，只是在自找麻烦——你在放弃自己的权力。)”可知，杰弗里·普费弗建议商人必要时真诚道歉。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。根据第四段““Sorry” has become commonplace in daily conversations and communications. We drop it indiscriminately for all manner of things we really shouldn’t be sorry for. Is it time to stop (“对不起”在日常对话和交流中已经司空见惯。我们不加选择地把它丢在各种各样的事情上，我们真的不应该为此感到抱歉。是时候停止了吗？)”结合文章主要说明了如今人们道歉太多，形成了一种习惯的问题，作者结合路易丝·朱丽和自身的经历说明了这一问题，指出道歉应当适当运用。可知，这篇文章主要讲了为什么道歉太多不受欢迎。故选C。

66．Dear Tom,
I’m Li Hua. Exceedingly thrilled about our upcoming virtual lesson entitled “Traditional Arts”, I’m writing to propose some ideas and confirm relevant details on behalf of my class.
The lesson will serve as a platform, where students can realize traditional arts are not only the essential elements of a culture, but also the pride of a country. So, for our part, several typical folk arts will be introduced, including Paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on. To achieve the best effect, interactive forms, such as live shows and presentations, will be adopted. As for the time, we’d like to have the lesson scheduled between March 4 and March 7, lasting 4 hours.
Does our proposal work well on your side Any suggestions or questions, feel free to contact me.
Yours,
Li Hua

67．范文
Within half an hour, 50 volunteers were working in winds to clear the area in snow. They braved the freezing temperatures and battled against the mounting snow. With shovels and brooms in hand, they labored tirelessly, their determination fueled by the belief that their efforts could save a young girl’s life. Sharon also sent a four-wheel vehicle to transport the Schmitts to the church. The crowd cheered as the jet descended onto the makeshift landing pad and waved as the Schmitts flew off into the snowy night.
Hours later, they reached the hospital in Omaha. A team of medical professionals anxiously awaited Michelle’s arrival. The transplant was a success, and the Schmitts were grateful to all the people who had helped make this miracle possible. The act of clearing the parking lot had not only cleared a path for the jet, but it had also cleared a path for hope to enter their lives again. The snowstorm that once threatened to separate the Schmitt family from the life-saving medical care they desperately needed had ultimately brought them closer to their community. It had shown them the true power of unity.

①由第一段首句内容“不到半小时，50名志愿者冒着大风清理了积雪。”可知，第一段可描写志愿者们如何克服困难把停机坪的雪全部清理掉，并成功把Schmitt一家人送上飞机。
②由第二段首句内容“几个小时后，他们到达了奥马哈的医院。” 可知，第二段可描写Michelle的手术非常成功，她的家人对志愿者们表达感谢。
2.续写线索：志愿者清理积雪——帮助他们一家人坐上飞机——及时到达医院完成手术——Schmitt一家人表示感谢——感悟
3.词汇激活

①对抗：battle against/fight against
②拯救：save/rescue
③等待：await/wait for
