Every holiday season, I get nostalgic (怀旧的) and take a trip down Christmas tree lane. I think about how hard my mom worked to make the holidays special. I remember how she said and proudly displayed all of the gifts she received from us. She acted as if her plastic beaded bracelet (手镯) was made of priceless stones. Year after year, whatever we gave her, she would treasure the gifts as though she was the luckiest woman on earth.
Through the years, friends come and go, but my mom is a constant, my true best friend and biggest fan. She’s by my side not only for the good moments cheering me on with pride, but holding my hand and letting me use her shoulder to cry on through the bad. She refuses to give up on me even when I want to. She is always there to encourage me in the midst of life’s challenges and eager to celebrate life’s joys.
So as much as the salt dough ornament (装饰品) pleased her, which is in a noticeable place on her tree every year, I’ve increased its amount now to surprise her at Christmas. I ask myself. What hasn’t she done before What is something that she would like, but would never, in a million years, buy herself
Gifts mom will treasure. So for the one who knows you best and still loves you, find a great gift that will show how much you really care and value her support. Select a thoughtful gift based on what brings her the greatest enjoyment.
However, the best gifts, I suppose, cannot be wrapped. Set aside time to spend alone with mom. It can simply be a day together doing what she enjoys most or plan a weekend getaway to a place she has always wanted to see. It will mean more to her than you may ever know. Together you will create lasting memories she will treasure for the rest of her life.
What are your most memorable moments with your mom For your mom, what would you value most in the holiday season

C．The author feels ashamed of having kept her mother working too hard.

The most hated day of the week is misunderstood. When the Boomtown Rats, an Irish band, released. I Don’t Like Mondays” in 1979, the song became an instant hit.
What many do recognise all too well is the difficulty of gathering the energy to get out of bed on Monday mornings in order to face the week ahead. Many bosses argue that starting off the week in person in the office creates good energy. However, plenty of employees beg to differ.
A paper published by the Journal of Applied Psychology, found that people tend to be more ill-mannered on Mondays, and grow more polite as the week unfolds. The authors have diagnosed a new condition, Mondayitis, which is defined. as “a systemic illness with collections of symptoms including tiredness, light-headedness, dry mouth and headache”. These symptoms typically appear on the first working day after a period off work, which could be a weekend or a longer holiday. They can lead sufferers to call in sick, decide to work from home or, if they do show up in the office, come across as detached (冷漠的) and unavailable. Mondayitis appears to be infecting other days of the week.
However, the covid-19 pandemic has led many people to re-evaluate their work-life balance. A lawyer in London who spends weekends working on cases likes to ease into the formal workweek with an elegant breakfast in a fancy restaurant. A broader movement is promoting the idea of a four-day work week, one arrangement of which would make Monday part of the weekend. Less ambitiously, and more realistically, asocial-media campaign for “bare-minimum Mondays” argues for a gentle start to the week.
You may have prepared or merely enjoyed a more elaborate meal than a sandwich. You may have gone for a walk in the park or simply lay in bed. Either way, you almost certainly cleared your head. When revived and spirited, you will have a fresh start.
28．What does the underlined part “beg to differ” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Approve. B．Object. C．Submit. D．Complain.
29．What can we know about employees on Mondays in Paragraph 3
A．They are ill-mannered but ready to help others.
B．They may suffer from tiredness or light-headedness.
C．They tend to infect others with their bad performance.
D．They want to come to the office rather than work from home.
30．What can we do to refresh ourselves on Mondays according to the author
A．Start to work early. B．Grab a quick meal.
C．Take a walk in the park. D．Have a tight schedule.
31．What is the author’s purpose in writing the last two paragraphs
A．To tell us ways to tackle Mondayitis. B．To explain how to gain work-life balance.
C．To offer tips on how to keep fit on weekdays. D．To persuade us not to work too hard on Mondays.
D
There’s a long line of research showing that when we make contact with people who’re socially different from us, we tend to feel less prejudice towards them. According to the contact theory, contact seems to work best for reducing prejudice when the contact is generally positive. But what happens when the conditions for interpersonal contact may not be ideal For example, what if you feel threatened in some way by a group of people you see as “the other”
Researchers from Ghent University in Belgium analyzed the results of 34 studies surveying nearly 64,000 people from 19 countries to see how intergroup contact affected their viewpoints about “outgroups” under conflict situations. For example, people were asked to report on how they viewed other groups. The researchers also had data from the surveys that measured attitudes towards outgroup members, such as how positive people felt towards them and how much they could trust them.
After analyzing the data, the researchers found strong feelings of threat were associated with more negative views of outgroup members. But having contact with outgroup members still reduced prejudice just as much under those unfavorable conditions. To Jasper Van Assche, the lead author of the paper, this suggests contact theory holds even under conflict situations.
Van Assche says that contact is so powerful probably because just being around people from an outgroup affects how we think and feel about them. As we become accustomed to even the me re presence of people from other groups, that can reduce our anxiety, especially if the encounters are positive—and that can lead to warmer feelings. Also, contact can enhance our knowledge about others’ customs and practices, so that they don’t seem so foreign or “other” to us.
Van Assche hopes his research can lead people to see the benefits of integrating the spaces where they live. This could be done through top-down methods, such as the government requiring school integration, but also from the bottom up. For example, suggests Van Assche, communities could create low-cost, low-key events that bring people together, helping to promote tolerance.
32．Why are the questions raised in paragraph 1
A．To inspire readers’ imagination. B．To argue against the contact theory.
C．To show the author’s curiosity. D．To offer the purpose of the study.
33．Why can interpersonal contact reduce prejudice
A．It improves people’s adaptive capacity. B．It increases people’s desire to socialize.
C．It promotes each other’s understanding. D．It makes people emotionally stable.
34．What might be Van Assche’s advice according to the text
A．Expanding communities on the whole.
B．Increasing chances of positive contact.
C．Strengthening interactions between schools.
D．Offering equal education opportunities to diverse groups.
35．What can be the best title of the text
A．People involved in equal contact are generally positive
B．Opportunities for intergroup contact are on the rise
C．The interventions based on contact are unhealthy
D．Interpersonal contact can help people connect

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people’s living rooms, and on the sides of buildings. So, why is art important
It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication. 36 It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.
37 . When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define. Some examples include a person’s ability to adapt to change, think creatively, or collaborate with team members.
It provides historical context. 38 . This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take the time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it. 39 .
In therapy (疗法) settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss. 40 . In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.
A．These are its major benefits.
B．Children love to draw, sing, and dance.
C．Art and human history go hand-in-hand
D．How does it have an impact on our life
E．It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.
F．It can help people handle both their past and present problems.
G．Similarly, future generations will learn about our current events by the art we leave behind.

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. My husband was taking care of our baby girl so that my six-year-old and I could do some yard work, just the two of us. It was sure to be 41 . But soon, the clouds of mosquitos seemed 42 to our bug spray (喷雾). I was sweating, itchy (痒的), and arguing with my son about how to 43 weeds. I had told him the “right” way—getting those weeds out from the bottom, by the roots, 44 them entirely.
However, my son went about things in his own way. He pulled the 45 of the weeds off, moving quickly down the line as he left the remaining part still in the soil. Somehow, I found this to be incredibly 46 . Why couldn’t he do it in my way and save me the time of having to 47 his share Why did he do it at all if he wasn’t going to do it properly
“If you would do as told, we’d be done earlier and promised a longer period 48 we would have to return and pull weeds next time,” I said, trying to keep my tone 49 .
“But people do things… 50 , Mom,” he said innocently.
My fire soon faded, replaced by the 51 realization that I’d just received a valuable 52 from the person that I was supposed to be teaching. While trying to 53 my baby girl, my kindergartener, and the yard work, 54 was a lifeline for me. But my way was, perhaps, not the best way after all. His time shouldn’t be 55 . His job was to be a kid and take his time, for as long as he was able.

Jiangsu, known for its unique blend of innovation and preservation, is a true treasure. I was 56 (incredible) fortunate to journey through the cities of Suzhou and Nanjing, both of which left me fascinated with their true impressiveness and eagerly 57 (long) to explore further.
My first stop was Suzhou. 58 (engage) myself in the local industrial atmosphere, I chose a hotel in the “industrial park”, 59 the coexistence of advanced manufacturing and natural beauty was most evident, as it was situated on the edge of a scenic lake, embraced by a vibrant landscape. As I adventured into the heart of the city, the Old Town’s ancient waterways led me on an 60 (explore) of history, and the classical gardens offered a glimpse into a 61 (story) past. However, what truly amazed me was the “energy of Suzhou” represented by its people who have enormous respect for their city’s time-honored history as well as 62 innovative eye on the future.
Actually, the mindset of modernization with deep respect for the past isn’t only unique to Suzhou 63 an indicative factor of Nanjing. High-rises decorate the city’s skyline, creating a distinct contrast 64 the ancient neighborhoods, temples, and buildings that 65 (occupy) previously by people. I never anticipated my expectations would be blown out of the water by “A tale of two cities”.

In a summer holiday, some of my friends planned to take a hike in a jungle, including Jake and Liam. They asked me if I would like to go with them. I loved outdoor activities, so I immediately said yes.
It was sunny the following morning. I was in a very good mood. I was so excited about hiking since it was the first time that I had hiked with them. I ate a light breakfast. After that, I hurriedly ran out of my house to meet them. At that time, I didn’t expect there was a horrible experience ahead.
The jungle where we were going was far from our area. Its name is Salymbia Jungle. It took about three hours to get there by bus, but it wasn’t a boring journey as we were all eager to hike. After we got off the bus, we found a local guide to ensure our safety. The guide, whose name is Thomas, said that he had hiked in the Salymbia Jungle lots of times and that he was familiar with the route. When we arrived, Thomas told us never to leave the group. He warned us that we would easily get lost in the jungle if we walked alone. Then we began to hike.
There were a wide variety of plants which we had never seen before. All of us were amazed at the beauty of the scenery and the sounds of the creatures. After a while, we were walking and then I looked at my wrist to check the time, but then I realized that my watch fell off. Then I walked back without informing anyone. I did not worry about getting lost since there were other people behind and I thought I would have been able to keep up with the crowd. I went back to search through the pathway so attentively that I lost track of the time and sight of my friends. I immediately realized that I was alone.

听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。
18．When can most children learn how to use the computer
A．At the age of 2. B．At the age of 3.5. C．In Grade3 or 4.
19．How did Judy’s son know the classification
A．On his own. B．Under Judy’s guidance. C．With the help of the software.
20．Why is it necessary for children to learn the computer at home
A．They can avoid being at a disadvantage.
B．They can get online help from the teachers.
C．They’ll leave good impressions on their teachers.
【答案】18．B 19．A 20．A
【原文】W: It’s easy for parents to get worried about their kids being left behind. But the truth is, two-year-olds don’t need a computer. Early-childhood experts agree that two-year-olds need experience in the real first. At about three and a half, most children can learn to handle the mouse. At this age, kids may not need a computer, but they’ll enjoy it. And they’ll learn from it, often in unforeseen ways. Judy Salpeter, San Francisco, California, editor of Technology and Learning, remembers that when her son was three, he loved a paint-box program that allowed him to position stamps of little figures on the screen. One day, she overheard him saying, “I’ll put all these here because they’re food, and all these here because they’re animals.” Although the softwarehadn’t been designed to teach classification, it allowed him to experiment with that idea himself. If you don’t have a computer by the time your child goes to school, he’ll form his first impressions of computers in the classroom. It’s OK for them to learn the computer at school. But if they had used it at home, they’ll feel smarter and it’s easier for them to succeed in their studies. By third or fourth grade, however, students may be at a definite disadvantage in both writing and research if they don’t have at-home access toword processing programs.

Every holiday season, I get nostalgic (怀旧的) and take a trip down Christmas tree lane. I think about how hard my mom worked to make the holidays special. I remember how she said and proudly displayed all of the gifts she received from us. She acted as if her plastic beaded bracelet (手镯) was made of priceless stones. Year after year, whatever we gave her, she would treasure the gifts as though she was the luckiest woman on earth.
Through the years, friends come and go, but my mom is a constant, my true best friend and biggest fan. She’s by my side not only for the good moments cheering me on with pride, but holding my hand and letting me use her shoulder to cry on through the bad. She refuses to give up on me even when I want to. She is always there to encourage me in the midst of life’s challenges and eager to celebrate life’s joys.
So as much as the salt dough ornament (装饰品) pleased her, which is in a noticeable place on her tree every year, I’ve increased its amount now to surprise her at Christmas. I ask myself. What hasn’t she done before What is something that she would like, but would never, in a million years, buy herself
Gifts mom will treasure. So for the one who knows you best and still loves you, find a great gift that will show how much you really care and value her support. Select a thoughtful gift based on what brings her the greatest enjoyment.
However, the best gifts, I suppose, cannot be wrapped. Set aside time to spend alone with mom. It can simply be a day together doing what she enjoys most or plan a weekend getaway to a place she has always wanted to see. It will mean more to her than you may ever know. Together you will create lasting memories she will treasure for the rest of her life.
What are your most memorable moments with your mom For your mom, what would you value most in the holiday season
24．Why does the author regard her mother as her best friend

B．Because she always receives encouragement from her mother.
C．Because her mother gives her a big surprise at every Christmas.
D．Because they are pleased with whatever gifts they give each other.

【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章作者通过给妈妈送礼物这件事讨论了妈妈会珍惜的礼物是什么。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She’s by my side not only for the good moments cheering me on with pride, but holding my hand and letting me use her shoulder to cry on through the bad. She refuses to give up on me even when I want to. She is always there to encourage me in the midst of life’s challenges and eager to celebrate life’s joys.(她在我身边，不仅是在美好的时刻为我骄傲地加油，而且在困难的时候握着我的手，让我靠着她的肩膀哭泣。即使我想放弃，她也不肯放弃我。在生活的挑战中，她总是在那里鼓励我，渴望庆祝生活的快乐。)”可知，作者认为她的母亲是她最好的朋友，因为她总是从母亲那里得到鼓励。故选B。
25．推理判断题。根据划线部分句子“What hasn’t she done before What is something that she would like, but would never, in a million years, buy herself (她以前没做过什么？什么东西是她想要的，但永远也不会给自己买的？)”可推知，作者的母亲总是给予而不是索取。故选B。
26．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“However, the best gifts, I suppose, cannot be wrapped. Set aside time to spend alone with mom.(然而，我想最好的礼物是无法包装的。留出时间和妈妈独处。)”可知，作者认为对于妈妈来说最好的礼物是和孩子在一起的时间。故选C。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Year after year, whatever we gave her, she would treasure the gifts as though she was the luckiest woman on earth.(年复一年，无论我们送她什么，她都会珍惜这些礼物，仿佛她是世界上最幸运的女人。)”、文章第四段“Gifts mom will treasure. So for the one who knows you best and still loves you, find a great gift that will show how much you really care and value her support. Select a thoughtful gift based on what brings her the greatest enjoyment.(妈妈会珍惜的礼物。所以，对于那个最了解你，仍然爱你的人，找一份能显示你有多关心和珍惜她支持的礼物吧。选择一份能给她带来最大快乐的礼物。)”和文章第五段“However, the best gifts, I suppose, cannot be wrapped. Set aside time to spend alone with mom.(然而，我想最好的礼物是无法包装的。留出时间和妈妈独处。)”可知，文章主要讨论了妈妈会珍惜的礼物是什么。所以用A项“Gifts Your Mom Will Treasure”作为文章的题目与文章主题项符合。故选A。

The most hated day of the week is misunderstood. When the Boomtown Rats, an Irish band, released. I Don’t Like Mondays” in 1979, the song became an instant hit.
What many do recognise all too well is the difficulty of gathering the energy to get out of bed on Monday mornings in order to face the week ahead. Many bosses argue that starting off the week in person in the office creates good energy. However, plenty of employees beg to differ.
A paper published by the Journal of Applied Psychology, found that people tend to be more ill-mannered on Mondays, and grow more polite as the week unfolds. The authors have diagnosed a new condition, Mondayitis, which is defined. as “a systemic illness with collections of symptoms including tiredness, light-headedness, dry mouth and headache”. These symptoms typically appear on the first working day after a period off work, which could be a weekend or a longer holiday. They can lead sufferers to call in sick, decide to work from home or, if they do show up in the office, come across as detached (冷漠的) and unavailable. Mondayitis appears to be infecting other days of the week.
However, the covid-19 pandemic has led many people to re-evaluate their work-life balance. A lawyer in London who spends weekends working on cases likes to ease into the formal workweek with an elegant breakfast in a fancy restaurant. A broader movement is promoting the idea of a four-day work week, one arrangement of which would make Monday part of the weekend. Less ambitiously, and more realistically, asocial-media campaign for “bare-minimum Mondays” argues for a gentle start to the week.
You may have prepared or merely enjoyed a more elaborate meal than a sandwich. You may have gone for a walk in the park or simply lay in bed. Either way, you almost certainly cleared your head. When revived and spirited, you will have a fresh start.
28．What does the underlined part “beg to differ” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Approve. B．Object. C．Submit. D．Complain.
29．What can we know about employees on Mondays in Paragraph 3
A．They are ill-mannered but ready to help others.
B．They may suffer from tiredness or light-headedness.
C．They tend to infect others with their bad performance.
D．They want to come to the office rather than work from home.
30．What can we do to refresh ourselves on Mondays according to the author
A．Start to work early. B．Grab a quick meal.
C．Take a walk in the park. D．Have a tight schedule.
31．What is the author’s purpose in writing the last two paragraphs
A．To tell us ways to tackle Mondayitis. B．To explain how to gain work-life balance.
C．To offer tips on how to keep fit on weekdays. D．To persuade us not to work too hard on Mondays.
【答案】28．B 29．B 30．C 31．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是“周一综合征”以及解决方法。
28．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Many bosses argue that starting off the week in person in the office creates good energy.( 许多老板认为，在办公室亲自开始新的一周会产生良好的活力)”以及however表示转折，可知，许多老板认为，在办公室亲自开始新的一周会产生良好的活力。然而，很多员工却对此表示反对。故划线词意思是“反对”。故选B。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“The authors have diagnosed a new condition, Mondayitis, which is defined as “a systemic illness with collections of symptoms including tiredness, light-headedness, dry mouth and headache”. (作者诊断出了一种新的疾病——周一综合征，它被定义为“一种全身性疾病，症状包括疲劳、头晕、口干和头痛”)”可知，周一的员工可能会感到疲劳或头晕。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“You may have gone for a walk in the park or simply lay in bed.(你可能会去公园散步，或者只是躺在床上)”可知，我们周一可以在公园散步来提神。故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“However, the covid-19 pandemic has led many people to re-evaluate their work-life balance. A lawyer in London who spends weekends working on cases likes to ease into the formal workweek with an elegant breakfast in a fancy restaurant. A broader movement is promoting the idea of a four-day work week, one arrangement of which would make Monday part of the weekend. Less ambitiously, and more realistically, asocial-media campaign for “bare-minimum Mondays” argues for a gentle start to the week.(然而，2019冠状病毒病大流行导致许多人重新评估他们的工作与生活平衡。一位伦敦的律师在周末处理案件，他喜欢在一家高档餐厅吃一顿优雅的早餐，轻松地进入正式的工作日。一项更广泛的运动正在推动一周工作四天的想法，其中一项安排是将周一变成周末的一部分。不那么雄心勃勃，但更现实的是，社交媒体上发起的“最少周一”运动主张一周的开始要温和一些)”以及最后一段“You may have prepared or merely enjoyed a more elaborate meal than a sandwich. You may have gone for a walk in the park or simply lay in bed. Either way, you almost certainly cleared your head. When revived and spirited, you will have a fresh start.(你可能准备了或者只是享受了一顿比三明治更精致的大餐。你可能会去公园散步，或者只是躺在床上。不管怎样，你几乎肯定清空了头脑。当你重新振作起来的时候，你会有一个全新的开始)”可知，作者写最后两段的目的是告诉我们解决“周一综合症”的方法。故选A。
D
There’s a long line of research showing that when we make contact with people who’re socially different from us, we tend to feel less prejudice towards them. According to the contact theory, contact seems to work best for reducing prejudice when the contact is generally positive. But what happens when the conditions for interpersonal contact may not be ideal For example, what if you feel threatened in some way by a group of people you see as “the other”
Researchers from Ghent University in Belgium analyzed the results of 34 studies surveying nearly 64,000 people from 19 countries to see how intergroup contact affected their viewpoints about “outgroups” under conflict situations. For example, people were asked to report on how they viewed other groups. The researchers also had data from the surveys that measured attitudes towards outgroup members, such as how positive people felt towards them and how much they could trust them.
After analyzing the data, the researchers found strong feelings of threat were associated with more negative views of outgroup members. But having contact with outgroup members still reduced prejudice just as much under those unfavorable conditions. To Jasper Van Assche, the lead author of the paper, this suggests contact theory holds even under conflict situations.
Van Assche says that contact is so powerful probably because just being around people from an outgroup affects how we think and feel about them. As we become accustomed to even the me re presence of people from other groups, that can reduce our anxiety, especially if the encounters are positive—and that can lead to warmer feelings. Also, contact can enhance our knowledge about others’ customs and practices, so that they don’t seem so foreign or “other” to us.
Van Assche hopes his research can lead people to see the benefits of integrating the spaces where they live. This could be done through top-down methods, such as the government requiring school integration, but also from the bottom up. For example, suggests Van Assche, communities could create low-cost, low-key events that bring people together, helping to promote tolerance.
32．Why are the questions raised in paragraph 1
A．To inspire readers’ imagination. B．To argue against the contact theory.
C．To show the author’s curiosity. D．To offer the purpose of the study.
33．Why can interpersonal contact reduce prejudice
A．It improves people’s adaptive capacity. B．It increases people’s desire to socialize.
C．It promotes each other’s understanding. D．It makes people emotionally stable.
34．What might be Van Assche’s advice according to the text
A．Expanding communities on the whole.
B．Increasing chances of positive contact.
C．Strengthening interactions between schools.
D．Offering equal education opportunities to diverse groups.
35．What can be the best title of the text
A．People involved in equal contact are generally positive B．Opportunities for intergroup contact are on the rise
C．The interventions based on contact are unhealthy D．Interpersonal contact can help people connect
【答案】32．D 33．C 34．B 35．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现与来自不同群体的人接触可以减少人与人之间的偏见，从而帮助人们建立联系。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段“According to the contact theory, contact seems to work best for reducing prejudice when the contact is generally positive. But what happens when the conditions for interpersonal contact may not be ideal For example, what if you feel threatened in some way by a group of people you see as “the other” (根据接触理论，当接触通常是积极的时，接触似乎对减少偏见最有效。但是，当人际交往的条件可能不理想时会发生什么呢？例如，如果你在某种程度上受到一群你认为是“其他群体”的人的威胁，你该怎么办)”结合下文的研究发现可推断，第一段提问是为了给出研究的目的。故选D。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段“As we become accustomed to even the me re presence of people from other groups, that can reduce our anxiety, especially if the encounters are positive—and that can lead to warmer feelings. Also, contact can enhance our knowledge about others’ customs and practices, so that they don’t seem so foreign or “other” to us.(当我们甚至习惯了来自其他群体的人的存在时，这可以减少我们的焦虑，特别是如果遇到的是积极的，这可以导致更温暖的感觉。此外，接触可以增强我们对他人习俗和做法的了解，这样他们对我们来说就不会那么陌生或“其他”了)”可知，人际接触可以增进人与人之间的了解，减少彼此的偏见。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段“For example, suggests Van Assche, communities could create low-cost, low-key events that bring people together, helping to promote tolerance.(例如，Van Assche建议，社区可以举办低成本、低调的活动，将人们聚集在一起，帮助促进宽容)”可知，Van Assche建议增加不同群体之间积极接触的机会。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“There’s a long line of research showing that when we make contact with people who’re socially different from us, we tend to feel less prejudice towards them.(有一长串的研究表明，当在社会上和与我们不同的人接触时，我们倾向于减少对他们的偏见)”并结合文章可知，文章主要说明了研究发现与来自不同群体的人接触可以减少人与人之间的偏见，从而帮助人们建立联系。故D选项“人际交往可以帮助人们建立联系”最符合文章标题。故选D。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people’s living rooms, and on the sides of buildings. So, why is art important
It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication. 36 It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.
37 . When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define. Some examples include a person’s ability to adapt to change, think creatively, or collaborate with team members.
It provides historical context. 38 . This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take the time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it. 39 .
In therapy (疗法) settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss. 40 . In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.
A．These are its major benefits.
B．Children love to draw, sing, and dance.
C．Art and human history go hand-in-hand
D．How does it have an impact on our life
E．It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.
F．It can help people handle both their past and present problems.
G．Similarly, future generations will learn about our current events by the art we leave behind.
【答案】36．B 37．E 38．C 39．G 40．F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章向人们解释了艺术的重要性，并通过举例说明了艺术对于人的积极作用。艺术具有可以提高人的表达能力和创造力的作用，又可以帮助我们了解前人所处的时代，还可以帮助孩子调节情绪。
36．上文“It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication.”说明艺术能促进表达和创造力。作为人类，艺术作为一种表达和交流的形式，自然会吸引我们。下文“It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.”（ 这是在他们能够说话之前，让他们表达自己的一种方式。事实上，参与艺术活动甚至可以帮助孩子在语言、运动技能和视觉学习方面的发展。）可知，空处应该是儿童用艺术表达自己的具体方式，而B项Children love to draw, sing, and dance.意为（孩子们喜欢画画、唱歌和跳舞）为儿童表达自己的具体方式。符合题意，故选B项。
37．下文“When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping.”（当有人申请一份工作时，他们需要具备某些技能，比如数据分析或记账。）可知，此段主旨是讲艺术对于这些技能的作用，E项It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.（它帮助我们所有人发展必要的软技能。）是介绍艺术对于人的技能发展的作用，符合题意，故选E项。
38．上文“It provides historical context.”（它提供了历史背景。）以及下文“This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more.”（这就是为什么人们致力于研究洞穴艺术、莎士比亚戏剧等等）可知，空处应该是讲艺术对于人类历史的作用。C项Art and human history go hand-in-hand（艺术和人类历史是携手并进的。）符合题意，故选C项。
39．上文“We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it.”（我们可以通过研究艺术作品来了解我们的祖先们曾面临过什么，以及他们是如何克服的）可知，艺术具有让人预知未来的作用。G项Similarly, future generations will learn about our current events by the art we leave behind.（同样，我们的后代也将通过我们留下的艺术来了解当前的事件。）与上文意思相互承接，符合题意，故选G项。
40．上文“In therapy(疗法) settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss.”（在治疗中，艺术也提供了一个更深层次挖掘和表达难以讨论的情感的机会。）下文“In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.”（ 在一项重要的研究中，在6到12岁的孩子思考一些不快的事情后，他们被要求画一座房子作为消遣。与那些被要求画出消极事件或简单地复制另一幅画的孩子相比，这组孩子能够改善他们的情绪。）可知，该段讲的是艺术对于情感的调节作用。F项It can help people handle both their past and present problems.（它可以帮助人们处理他们过去和现在的问题。）符合题意，故选F项。

阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. My husband was taking care of our baby girl so that my six-year-old and I could do some yard work, just the two of us. It was sure to be 41 . But soon, the clouds of mosquitos seemed 42 to our bug spray (喷雾). I was sweating, itchy (痒的), and arguing with my son about how to 43 weeds. I had told him the “right” way—getting those weeds out from the bottom, by the roots, 44 them entirely.
However, my son went about things in his own way. He pulled the 45 of the weeds off, moving quickly down the line as he left the remaining part still in the soil. Somehow, I found this to be incredibly 46 . Why couldn’t he do it in my way and save me the time of having to 47 his share Why did he do it at all if he wasn’t going to do it properly
“If you would do as told, we’d be done earlier and promised a longer period 48 we would have to return and pull weeds next time,” I said, trying to keep my tone 49 .

As I adventured into the heart of the city, the Old Town’s ancient waterways led me on an 60 (explore) of history, and the classical gardens offered a glimpse into a 61 (story) past.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章描述了作者在江苏省苏州和南京这两座城市的旅行体验，展示了这两座城市如何在创新与保护传统之间找到独特的平衡。

57．考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。动词left后接复合宾语，动词long和宾语me之间是主动关系，应用其现在分词作宾语补足语。故填longing。
58．考查非谓语动词。句意：为了融入当地的工业氛围，我选择了一家位于“工业园区”的酒店，在这里，先进的制造业与自然美景的共存最为明显，因为它坐落在风景秀丽的湖边，周围环绕着充满活力的景观。根据句意可知，此处应用动词不定式作目的状语，表示“为了”。句首字母大写，故填To engage。

62．考查冠词。句意：然而，真正让我惊讶的是苏州人所代表的“苏州活力”，他们对这座城市悠久的历史有着极大的尊重，对未来有着创新的眼光。后文名词eye为单数可数名词，泛指概念，应用不定冠词限定。所连接单词innovative发音以元音开头，故填an。
63．考查连词。句意：事实上，这种对过去的深深尊重的现代化思维不仅是苏州独有的，也是南京的一个指示性因素。not…but“不仅……还”是固定搭配。故填but。
64．考查介词。句意：高层建筑装饰着城市的天际线，与以前被人类占据的古老社区、寺庙和建筑形成鲜明的对比。contrast to/with“与……形成鲜明对比”是固定搭配，故填to/with。
65．考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：同上。动词occupy和主语之间是被动关系，根据句意可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时的被动语态。定语从句中主语that指代先行词the ancient neighborhoods, temples, and buildings，是复数，主谓一致，故填were occupied。

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。
In a summer holiday, some of my friends planned to take a hike in a jungle, including Jake and Liam. They asked me if I would like to go with them. I loved outdoor activities, so I immediately said yes.
It was sunny the following morning. I was in a very good mood. I was so excited about hiking since it was the first time that I had hiked with them. I ate a light breakfast. After that, I hurriedly ran out of my house to meet them. At that time, I didn’t expect there was a horrible experience ahead.
The jungle where we were going was far from our area. Its name is Salymbia Jungle. It took about three hours to get there by bus, but it wasn’t a boring journey as we were all eager to hike. After we got off the bus, we found a local guide to ensure our safety. The guide, whose name is Thomas, said that he had hiked in the Salymbia Jungle lots of times and that he was familiar with the route. When we arrived, Thomas told us never to leave the group. He warned us that we would easily get lost in the jungle if we walked alone. Then we began to hike.
There were a wide variety of plants which we had never seen before. All of us were amazed at the beauty of the scenery and the sounds of the creatures. After a while, we were walking and then I looked at my wrist to check the time, but then I realized that my watch fell off. Then I walked back without informing anyone. I did not worry about getting lost since there were other people behind and I thought I would have been able to keep up with the crowd. I went back to search through the pathway so attentively that I lost track of the time and sight of my friends. I immediately realized that I was alone.

The sky started to become darker and I was very terrified.

Actually, they were rescuers searching for me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The sky started to become darker and I was very terrified. I didn’t know what to do. I called out to my friends, but there was no reply. I tried to look for a way but none of the scenes seemed familiar. I walked for a few more minutes and I got tired and hungry. I was horrified and longed for this nightmare to finish. Finally, I gave up and leaned on a tree to rest. I fell asleep quickly and suddenly I heard a human voice. I doubted my ears but then I was convinced. I screamed, “Help!”
Actually, they were rescuers searching for me. My friends Jake and Liam told Thomas that they found I was lost, and some rescuers were called to help at once. They led me back to the bus. Seeing me, my friends told me they were really worried. I apologized to them for leaving the group without telling them. Instead of scolding me, they comforted me and helped me calm down. And I truly learned a good lesson from it — safety comes first.
【导语】本文以故事情节为线索展开，讲述了作者和几个朋友在暑假徒步旅行，他们去的地方叫做Salymbia Jungle，离居住的地区很远，到了当地后，找了一位叫做Thomas导游来确保安全，到达丛林后，Thomas告诉作者他们不要单独行走，很容易迷路，而在作者他们欣赏着沿途的美景的时候，作者意识到手表掉了，没有告诉任何人就单独离开，一路上寻找着丢失的手表，忘记了时间，也见不到朋友们，作者意识到掉队而最终被救的故事。
