考查冠词辨析。a/an不定冠词，表泛指，a用于辅音音素开头的单词前，an用于元音音素开头的单词前；the定冠词，表特指。根据“important holiday”可知，空处表示泛指，“important”以元音音素开头，所以填an。故选B。

— It’s about four hours’ drive.
A. How soon B. How long C. How far
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——从福州到厦门有多远？——大概四个小时的车程。

考查时态和被动语态。句子陈述事实，要用一般现在时态。句子的主语“Beijing Roast Duck”是单数第三人称，和谓语动词serve“提供，端上”之间是被动关系，所以推知句子要用一般现在时态的被动语态，其构成是am/is/are done，此处主语是第三人称单数，故用is served。故选C。

A team of elderly women in Chongqing, serving as “shared-grandmas” to help working parents pick up their children from school and stay with the kids, has received a lot of likes online recently.
The team of “shared-grandmas” from the Shipingcun Community in Chongqing’s Jiulongpo District includes nine retired (退休的) women, mostly empty-nesters (空巢老人). They volunteer to take care of 25 kids in the community.
Working parents of the children who aren’t able to pick up their kids from school are in need of a temporary guardian (临时监护人). The volunteers can spare the time and energy for the family and ease (缓解) their loneliness by doing the job.
Deng Lihong, 66, is a member of the team. Every weekday, she picks up the children from school, and accompanies them while they do their homework and play in the community room until their parents pick them up.
“I feel young with the kids and my retired life is meaningful,” she said.
“The program started in April and the number of the team members is still growing,” Cao Yidan, the chairman of Chongqing Amber Social Work Service Center, said.
“The program is great and worth promoting (提倡) in other places in the country,” an Internet user said.
“We encourage the retired women in the community to take part in this public service. It’s a win-win situation for the families in need and ‘shared-grandmas’. The feeling of achievement and happiness means a lot to them,” Peng Mei, the secretary of the Party Committee of Shipingcun Community, said.

Thanks to modern travel, even though faraway countries may now seem closer, they may still be different from your home country. Following are some tips that will make your trip more enjoyable.
Never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood. If you do not know the word for something in the local language, try to draw a picture or point to an object. If you have to point something out, do so by gesturing towards the object, with the palm (掌心) of your hand flat, facing upward, and your fingers straight.
Consider the main religion of the country you plan to visit and read about any taboo related to clothing, especially if you plan to visit places that are considered sacred (神圣的). You’d better wear T-shirts that cover your shoulders, and long trousers. What’s more, avoid topics of conversation that you think may be sensitive (敏感的). If a topic is sensitive in your own culture, it will more than likely be the same in other cultures.
If you plan to stay with a host family, and you wish to take a gift, do some research. One of the easiest ways to upset somebody is to give the wrong gift. In China, you mustn’t give fans as gifts. The Chinese word for “fan” has a similar sound to the word for “separation”.
Wherever you go in the world, always show respect for the values of the country you are in.
56. Which picture shows the right gesture “pointing something out” in paragraph 2 ________
A. B. C. D.
57. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text ________
A. Thanks to modern travel, faraway countries may seem closer now.
B. If you do not know the word for something in the local language, try to raise your voice.
C. You can not talk about sensitive topics of conversation when you make a trip.
D. The easiest ways to make somebody sad is to give the wrong gift.
58. What would be the best structure of the passage ________
A. B. C. D.
59. What can be given as a present in China according to Paragraph 4 ________
A. A fan. B. A clock. C. A fish. D. A pear.
60. What can we learn from the text ________
A. To see is to believe. B. Experience is the mother of wisdom.
C. East or west, home is the best. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
【答案】56. D 57. B 58. D 59. C 60. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要是为了提供一些旅行时的小建议， 以使旅行更加愉快。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据“If you have to point something out, do so by gesturing towards the object, with the palm (掌心) of your hand flat, facing upward, and your fingers straight.”可知，如果你必须指出某样东西，就对着它做手势，手掌平，面朝上，手指伸直，D选项符合，故选D。
【57题详解】

D
Are you a procrastinator (拖延者) Are you putting off going to the gym Have you seldom cleaned your rooms in time Are you waiting just one more day to study for that test Procrastination is putting off to later what you know you should be doing now. But all those tasks you push to tomorrow can make their way into your mind. And that could harm your health.
In one study, scientists connected procrastination to many problems. These included depression (沮丧), nervousness and even arm pain. “I was surprised when I saw that one,” says Fred Johansson. The psychologist (心理学家) and his team reported the results in a newspaper.
The study is one of the largest so far to deal with procrastination’s ties to health. For years, scientists didn’t seem to view procrastination as something serious. This new study could change that.
The study followed about 2,500 students over nine months. They found that procrastinators perform worse over time than those who did things without delay (延迟). For instance, they were more worried, depressed and sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的).
From this type of study, the team can’t say for sure that putting things off causes poor health. But results from other research teams seem to point in the same direction. One 2021 study tied procrastinating at bedtime to depression. And a 2015 study connected procrastinating to poor heart health. According to Fuschia Sirois, a scientist at Durham University in England, the harmful effects of procrastination could build up over time. Procrastination alone may not cause disease, however it could be “one factor that can tip the scales (扭转局势).”

Go to museums or libraries

Why not have a try What you need to do is to choose themes that you are interested in, make an online appointment in advance and then enjoy your weekend.
____69____ For some young people, the easy access and the discounts of online shopping make it really attractive. Sometimes what you buy online is not what you really need and the demands are created by the producers. For example, many young people buy new clothing that they don’t wear. ____70____ Money is not the only thing that can drive your quality of living, but your optimistic attitude towards life and self-disciplined way of life are.
A. Stop over-spending online
B. So, how can we save some money and improve quality of life

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you for listening!
【答案】例文：
Good afternoon, my dear classmates. It’s my great pleasure to share with you my ideas on important life skills for teenagers. These can help our abilities and learning.
First of all, we are expected to stay healthy, because health is the guarantee of everything. Secondly, it is also necessary for us to learn to solve problems independently. This means we can depend on ourselves instead of others. What’s more, cooking is another essential skill which allows us to enjoy the food we love and help us release some pressure at the same time. Last but not least, good communication skills enable us to get along well with others and share our thoughts.
Personally, I would like to further develop my cooking skills, since usually I order food online when I’m alone. Videos about cooking can be easily found on the Internet. I am sure I can learn something from them. Hopefully, all of us will find our weak points and work on them to improve ourselves.
Thank you for listening!

A team of elderly women in Chongqing, serving as “shared-grandmas” to help working parents pick up their children from school and stay with the kids, has received a lot of likes online recently.
The team of “shared-grandmas” from the Shipingcun Community in Chongqing’s Jiulongpo District includes nine retired (退休的) women, mostly empty-nesters (空巢老人). They volunteer to take care of 25 kids in the community.
Working parents of the children who aren’t able to pick up their kids from school are in need of a temporary guardian (临时监护人). The volunteers can spare the time and energy for the family and ease (缓解) their loneliness by doing the job.
Deng Lihong, 66, is a member of the team. Every weekday, she picks up the children from school, and accompanies them while they do their homework and play in the community room until their parents pick them up.
“I feel young with the kids and my retired life is meaningful,” she said.
“The program started in April and the number of the team members is still growing,” Cao Yidan, the chairman of Chongqing Amber Social Work Service Center, said.
“The program is great and worth promoting (提倡) in other places in the country,” an Internet user said.
“We encourage the retired women in the community to take part in this public service. It’s a win-win situation for the families in need and ‘shared-grandmas’. The feeling of achievement and happiness means a lot to them,” Peng Mei, the secretary of the Party Committee of Shipingcun Community, said.

Thanks to modern travel, even though faraway countries may now seem closer, they may still be different from your home country. Following are some tips that will make your trip more enjoyable.
Never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood. If you do not know the word for something in the local language, try to draw a picture or point to an object. If you have to point something out, do so by gesturing towards the object, with the palm (掌心) of your hand flat, facing upward, and your fingers straight.
Consider the main religion of the country you plan to visit and read about any taboo related to clothing, especially if you plan to visit places that are considered sacred (神圣的). You’d better wear T-shirts that cover your shoulders, and long trousers. What’s more, avoid topics of conversation that you think may be sensitive (敏感的). If a topic is sensitive in your own culture, it will more than likely be the same in other cultures.
If you plan to stay with a host family, and you wish to take a gift, do some research. One of the easiest ways to upset somebody is to give the wrong gift. In China, you mustn’t give fans as gifts. The Chinese word for “fan” has a similar sound to the word for “separation”.
Wherever you go in the world, always show respect for the values of the country you are in.
56. Which picture shows the right gesture “pointing something out” in paragraph 2 ________
A. B. C. D.
57. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text ________
A. Thanks to modern travel, faraway countries may seem closer now.
B. If you do not know the word for something in the local language, try to raise your voice.
C. You can not talk about sensitive topics of conversation when you make a trip.
D. The easiest ways to make somebody sad is to give the wrong gift.
58. What would be the best structure of the passage ________
A. B. C. D.
59 What can be given as a present in China according to Paragraph 4 ________
A. A fan. B. A clock. C. A fish. D. A pear.
60. What can we learn from the text ________
A. To see is to believe. B. Experience is the mother of wisdom.
C. East or west, home is the best. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D
Are you a procrastinator (拖延者) Are you putting off going to the gym Have you seldom cleaned your rooms in time Are you waiting just one more day to study for that test Procrastination is putting off to later what you know you should be doing now. But all those tasks you push to tomorrow can make their way into your mind. And that could harm your health.
In one study, scientists connected procrastination to many problems. These included depression (沮丧), nervousness and even arm pain. “I was surprised when I saw that one,” says Fred Johansson. The psychologist (心理学家) and his team reported the results in a newspaper.
The study is one of the largest so far to deal with procrastination’s ties to health. For years, scientists didn’t seem to view procrastination as something serious. This new study could change that.
The study followed about 2,500 students over nine months. They found that procrastinators perform worse over time than those who did things without delay (延迟). For instance, they were more worried, depressed and sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的).
From this type of study, the team can’t say for sure that putting things off causes poor health. But results from other research teams seem to point in the same direction. One 2021 study tied procrastinating at bedtime to depression. And a 2015 study connected procrastinating to poor heart health. According to Fuschia Sirois, a scientist at Durham University in England, the harmful effects of procrastination could build up over time. Procrastination alone may not cause disease, however it could be “one factor that can tip the scales (扭转局势).”
61. How did the writer lead to the topic
A. By comparing facts. B. By telling stories.
C. By asking questions. D. By giving examples.
62. The underlined word “These” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. procrastinators B. tasks C. scientists D. problems
63. How many students took part in the study of Fred Johansson
A. 2500. B. 2015. C. 2000. D. 1500.
64. What is the same conclusion of studies in 2021 and 2015
A. Delaying makes poor heart health.
B. Procrastination is a kind of disease.
C. Delaying at bedtime makes depression.
D. Procrastination leads to many problems.
65. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this text
A. To make the readers know about the procrastinators.
B. To advise the readers to keep away from procrastination.
C. To tell about the different result of studies.
D. To show the reasons for procrastination.
