Every April, I find myself troubled by the same concern—that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing gray. On May 3, 1 awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of pressing a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green.
Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree's dark branches stretch out in unpruned（未经修剪的）abandon.
Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out to prune（修剪）a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches（门廊）.
These were people I barely knew, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens. My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. "You're not going to cut it down, are you " she asked anxiously.
Soon, half the neighborhood joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people's names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder.
Just the other day, I saw one neighbor at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then, he looked at me and said, "We need to prune that apple tree again. "
24．How did the author feel about the sudden change of the view
A．Frightened. B．Astonished. C．Frustrated. D．Annoyed.
25．Why did the neighbors open their windows and step out
A．They wondered what might happen to the tree.
B．They felt astonished to notice a stranger.
C．They meant to protect their personal gardens.
D．They intended to greet the author.
26．What can be inferred about the apple tree in the neighborhood
A．It stayed in a poor shape.
B．It was not attended.
C．It connected people.
D．It proved to be not attractive.
27．What did the neighbor value most according to the last paragraph
A．The arrival of spring.
B．Entertainment in the long winter.
C．The pruning of the apple tree.
D．The neighborhood gathering.
C
There was a time, Wang Fuchun remembered, when all the people on Chinese trains looked more or less the same. In the late 1970s, when he started taking his photographs, everyone seemed to wear green suits and caps. The "green-skinned" trains crept between China's main towns and cities. On board, all was chaos（混乱）. Life seemed to explode on the train as if it were a stage. He did not care what seat he had, for he was on the move.
China, too, was on the move. China was rushing to the modern world, and the trains, showed it. Steam was fading; the green-skinned trains acquired fans, then air-conditioning. Then came express trains, then high-speed rail. And the passengers, too, changed. They began to wear jeans; by the 1980s they let their hair grow. The 1990s brought in a fashion for T-shirts with favourite stars. People wanted a look that was unique; they became individuals. His book Chinese on the Train, published in 2001, caught the brief span when old and new crashed.
Many slow trains had been replaced by high-speed models, as comfortable and quiet as hotels. The aisles(过道) were clear, the windows sealed. In the ordinary seats, everyone's nose was buried in their tablets and their phones.
Over 40 years he reckoned he had ridden on 1,000 trains and covered more than 100,000 kilometres, on every line in China. He found he could not sleep properly without the clank of rails beneath him. He took about 200,000 pictures. He liked to place two of his photographs side by side. One was of a green-skinned train in 1998, with a merry line of passengers grinning out of the window. The second picture showed a pair of newly-weds (新婚夫妇) in 2015 in front of a Harmony high-speed train, holding the character for "double happiness". He liked the message of hope. He was proud of what China had achieved.
28．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A．The development of trains in China.
B．The changes that took place in China.
C．The publication of an influential book.
D．Chinese people's habits of dressing in the past.
29．What can we learn about Wang Fuchun according to the text
A．He set about photographing in 1970.
B．His book featured green-skinned trains.
C．His photos focused on ordinary people.
D．He suffered from sleep disorder on the train.
30．What did Wang Fuchun want to show by mentioning "double happiness"
A．The great changes of trains.
B．The pride in rapid development.
C．The happy life of train passengers.
D．The breakthrough in his photographing
31．Which of the following best describes Wang Fuchun as a photographer
A．Ambitious. B．Outgoing. C．Determined. D．Talented.
D
Long pieces from the outer shell of the coconut (椰子), known as coir (椰子壳粗纤维), are often used with other materials to build barriers. The barriers are used to protect beaches from getting washed away by the force of waves. The coconut material is widely available and costs a lot less than barriers made of other materials, such as wood, steel or concrete. And it is designed to biodegrade (生物降解) or break down, over time.
Some projects create "living shorelines" made from natural elements rather than hard materials. One is being built along part of an eroded (被侵蚀的) riverbank in Neptune, New Jersey. The effort has already greatly improved areas that suffered major erosion damage. "We're always trying to reduce wave energy while protecting the shoreline, " said Tim Dillingham, the group's director. "And whenever we can, we like to employ nature-based solutions."
Another project is happening in Boston. That is where Julia Hopkins, an assistant pro-fessor at Northeastern University, is using coir, wood chips and other materials to create floating barriers to slow the force of waves. Hopkins is pleased with the results. She says the coconut material is not costly and is actually being recycled rather than being thrown away.
Two projects in East Providence, Rhode Island, used coconut material in 2020. The next year, 731 meters of damaged shoreline in New York's Jamaica Bay were treated through a project that also included coconut coir material. Similar projects have been carried out in the states of Delaware and Texas.
The method doesn't always work, however. In 2016, the Felix Neck Wildlife Refuge in Edgartown, Massachusetts, built barriers around a salt marsh that had eroded in the past. While the effort did help reduce erosion for a while, the material did not last long because of strong waves.
Suzan Bellincampi is the refuge's director. "The project is really interesting in terms of what we want to do and how we adapt it," she said. "It's not for every site. It works in some places; it doesn't work in all places."
32．What can be known about the coconut material
A．It can last longer.
B．It is eco-friendly.
C．It is harder and stronger.
D．It can reduce production time.
33．Which project failed to function for a long time
A．The one in Boston. B．The one in Neptune.
C．The one in Edgartown. D．The one in East Providence.
34．What's Suzan Bellincampi's attitude to the coconut-based project
A．Objective. B．Doubtful. C．Unconcerned. D．Disapproving.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．A new material—coir
B．A new threat—beach erosion
C．Shorelines are taking on a new look
D．Material from coconuts helps protect coastal areas
三、任务型阅读
七选五
Left-handed people make up around 12% of the global population. One really interesting fact that I picked up was from a scientist who believed that left-handed people tended to be more independent as a result of having to adapt to a world that is largely built for right-handed individuals. 　36． 　!
More likely to have allergies and sleep disorders
A study found that left-handed people were 11 times more likely to suffer from allergies than right-handed folk. 　37． 　.
Left-handed people use the right side of the brain the most
　38． 　, meaning that the right side controls the left side of the body and the other way around. Hence there is a well-known saying "only left-handed people are in their right minds". The right-hand side of the brain is thought to control the left side of the body and tasks to do with the arts and creativity.
Are left-handed people smarter
　39． 　! One 2007 study "Effect of handedness on intelligence level of students"shows that lefties are more likely to have higher IQ. However, another 2010 study "The relationship between hand preference, hand performance, and general cognitive ability" suggests the exact opposite!
　40． 　
Experiments showed that when given two tasks to complete simultaneously (同时), lefties performed best. This is because right-handed people tend to solve problems by breaking them down into parts and analyzing each piece one at a time. While left-handed people tend to look at the problem as a whole and use pattern-matching to try and solve it.
A. Better at multi-tasking
B. Smarter than the right-handed
C. As we know, the brain is cross-wired
D. This one varies depending on how dated your source is
E. Here are a few more fascinating left-handed people facts
F. Mixed-handed children are more likely to experience language issues
G. And lefties were two and a half times more likely to suffer from sleep disorders

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。
"Hey, honey!" I said, hugging my seven-year-old, Jean Prince, as she got off the bus. "How was school " I asked her as I always did.
"Well, not so real good," she replied, looking sad. "Everyone has their pictures on the Reading Bulletin Board (布告栏) but me. I never get my picture up, not for math or reading or anything." Her shoulders fell suddenly, and her chin began to shake clearly.
I'd like to believe that, with enough educational treatment, visits to the doctor, experimenting with different medicines for ADHD (多动症), and drill, practice, and patience at home, I can turn my Jean into a teacher's "dream child, " the skilled and intelligent kid who gets everything right and never colors outside the lines.
But I can't. And every failure is yet another blow to me, as well as to Jean. Taking a deep breath, I turned on the "building self-esteem (自尊)" mode. "Well, honey, I'm sorry. But I'll bet something good happened to you today, didn't it What was the best thing that you did today " Jean took her own sweet time, thinking things through. To my relief, she wasn't, however, on the edge of tears anymore.
Finally, she brightened a bit and said slowly, "Yes, when I passed the gate of the park, I saw a little girl who was walking with her mother and she fell down and cried because her knee bled, I hurried home and took my Barbie doll and gave it to her. She loved it and stopped crying, her mother said thanks to me and I felt good."
"Sweetie, that's great!" I said excitedly.
"It is you who have told me that I should be kind and learn to share good things with others," Jean replied.
I learned that Jean had saved from her allowance (零花钱) for the past month to get that doll, which was her favorite, so I thought to myself, "I will tell all these to Mrs Doe, Jean's teacher."
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。
Later that night, after driving Jean home, I hurried to Mrs Doe's.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At 4:30 the next afternoon, Jean rushed to me happily at the school gate.

Every April, I find myself troubled by the same concern—that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing gray. On May 3, 1 awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of pressing a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green.
Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree's dark branches stretch out in unpruned（未经修剪的）abandon.
Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out to prune（修剪）a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches（门廊）.
These were people I barely knew, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens. My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. "You're not going to cut it down, are you " she asked anxiously.
Soon, half the neighborhood joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people's names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder.
Just the other day, I saw one neighbor at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then, he looked at me and said, "We need to prune that apple tree again. "

B．They felt astonished to notice a stranger.
C．They meant to protect their personal gardens.
D．They intended to greet the author.
26．What can be inferred about the apple tree in the neighborhood

B．It was not attended.
C．It connected people.
D．It proved to be not attractive.
27．What did the neighbor value most according to the last paragraph

There was a time, Wang Fuchun remembered, when all the people on Chinese trains looked more or less the same. In the late 1970s, when he started taking his photographs, everyone seemed to wear green suits and caps. The "green-skinned" trains crept between China's main towns and cities. On board, all was chaos（混乱）. Life seemed to explode on the train as if it were a stage. He did not care what seat he had, for he was on the move.
China, too, was on the move. China was rushing to the modern world, and the trains, showed it. Steam was fading; the green-skinned trains acquired fans, then air-conditioning. Then came express trains, then high-speed rail. And the passengers, too, changed. They began to wear jeans; by the 1980s they let their hair grow. The 1990s brought in a fashion for T-shirts with favourite stars. People wanted a look that was unique; they became individuals. His book Chinese on the Train, published in 2001, caught the brief span when old and new crashed.
Many slow trains had been replaced by high-speed models, as comfortable and quiet as hotels. The aisles(过道) were clear, the windows sealed. In the ordinary seats, everyone's nose was buried in their tablets and their phones.
Over 40 years he reckoned he had ridden on 1,000 trains and covered more than 100,000 kilometres, on every line in China. He found he could not sleep properly without the clank of rails beneath him. He took about 200,000 pictures. He liked to place two of his photographs side by side. One was of a green-skinned train in 1998, with a merry line of passengers grinning out of the window. The second picture showed a pair of newly-weds (新婚夫妇) in 2015 in front of a Harmony high-speed train, holding the character for "double happiness". He liked the message of hope. He was proud of what China had achieved.
28．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A．The development of trains in China.
B．The changes that took place in China.
C．The publication of an influential book.
D．Chinese people's habits of dressing in the past.
29．What can we learn about Wang Fuchun according to the text
A．He set about photographing in 1970.
B．His book featured green-skinned trains.
C．His photos focused on ordinary people.
D．He suffered from sleep disorder on the train.
30．What did Wang Fuchun want to show by mentioning "double happiness"
A．The great changes of trains.
B．The pride in rapid development.
C．The happy life of train passengers.
D．The breakthrough in his photographing
31．Which of the following best describes Wang Fuchun as a photographer

【答案】28．B
29．C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，报道了摄影师Wang Fuchun用照片记录中国火车的发展。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和段落大意三个题型的考查，是一篇新闻报道，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
28．考查段落大意。根据第二段中的"China, too, was on the move. China was rushing to the modern world, and the trains, showed it. Steam was fading; the green-skinned trains acquired fans, then air-conditioning. Then came express trains, then high-speed rail. And the passengers, too, changed. They began to wear jeans; by the 1980s they let their hair grow. The 1990s brought in a fashion for T-shirts with favourite stars. People wanted a look that was unique; they became individuals."中国也在行动。中国正迅速向现代世界迈进，火车就是明证。蒸汽正在消退；绿皮列车安装了风扇，然后是空调。然后是特快列车，然后是高铁。乘客们也变了。他们开始穿牛仔裤；到了20世纪80年代，他们让头发长起来。20世纪90年代，流行印有喜爱明星的t恤。人们想要独一无二的造型；他们变成了独立的个体。可知，第二段主要讲了发生在中国的变化。故选B。
29．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"He took about 200,000 pictures. He liked to place two of his photographs side by side. One was of a green-skinned train in 1998, with a merry line of passengers grinning out of the window.

30．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"The second picture showed a pair of newly-weds (新婚夫妇) in 2015 in front of a Harmony high-speed train, holding the character for ‘double happiness'. He liked the message of hope. He was proud of what China had achieved. "第二张照片是2015年一对新婚夫妇站在和谐号高铁前，手举"双喜"字。他喜欢希望的信息。他为中国取得的成就感到骄傲。可知，Wang Fuchun提到"双喜临门"，想表达他以快速发展为荣。故选B。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Over 40 years he reckoned he had ridden on 1,000 trains and covered more than 100,000 kilometres, on every line in China. He found he could not sleep properly without the clank of rails beneath him. He took about 200,000 pictures. "在过去的40年里，他估计自己坐过1000列火车，在中国的每条铁路线上行驶了超过10万公里。他发现没有身下铁轨的叮当声，他就睡不着觉。他拍了大约20万张照片。可知，他坚持用照片记录中国铁路的发展，因此他是坚决的，故选C。

Long pieces from the outer shell of the coconut (椰子), known as coir (椰子壳粗纤维), are often used with other materials to build barriers. The barriers are used to protect beaches from getting washed away by the force of waves. The coconut material is widely available and costs a lot less than barriers made of other materials, such as wood, steel or concrete. And it is designed to biodegrade (生物降解) or break down, over time.
Some projects create "living shorelines" made from natural elements rather than hard materials. One is being built along part of an eroded (被侵蚀的) riverbank in Neptune, New Jersey. The effort has already greatly improved areas that suffered major erosion damage. "We're always trying to reduce wave energy while protecting the shoreline, " said Tim Dillingham, the group's director. "And whenever we can, we like to employ nature-based solutions."
Another project is happening in Boston. That is where Julia Hopkins, an assistant pro-fessor at Northeastern University, is using coir, wood chips and other materials to create floating barriers to slow the force of waves. Hopkins is pleased with the results. She says the coconut material is not costly and is actually being recycled rather than being thrown away.
Two projects in East Providence, Rhode Island, used coconut material in 2020. The next year, 731 meters of damaged shoreline in New York's Jamaica Bay were treated through a project that also included coconut coir material. Similar projects have been carried out in the states of Delaware and Texas.
The method doesn't always work, however. In 2016, the Felix Neck Wildlife Refuge in Edgartown, Massachusetts, built barriers around a salt marsh that had eroded in the past. While the effort did help reduce erosion for a while, the material did not last long because of strong waves.
Suzan Bellincampi is the refuge's director. "The project is really interesting in terms of what we want to do and how we adapt it," she said. "It's not for every site. It works in some places; it doesn't work in all places."
32．What can be known about the coconut material
A．It can last longer.
B．It is eco-friendly.
C．It is harder and stronger.
D．It can reduce production time.
33．Which project failed to function for a long time
A．The one in Boston. B．The one in Neptune.
C．The one in Edgartown. D．The one in East Providence.
34．What's Suzan Bellincampi's attitude to the coconut-based project
A．Objective. B．Doubtful. C．Unconcerned. D．Disapproving.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．A new material—coir
B．A new threat—beach erosion
C．Shorelines are taking on a new look
D．Material from coconuts helps protect coastal areas
【答案】32．B
33．C
34．A
35．D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究人员利用椰壳和其他材料一起建造保护海滩不被海浪侵蚀的屏障。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇环保类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
32．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"And it is designed to biodegrade(生物降解) or break down, over time. "随着时间的推移，它被设计成生物降解或分解；以及第二段中的"Some projects create ‘living shorelines' made from natural elements rather than hard materials. One is being built along part of an eroded(被侵蚀的) riverbank in Neptune, New Jersey. The effort has already greatly improved areas that suffered major erosion damage."一些项目用自然元素而不是硬材料创造了"活海岸线"。其中一个是在新泽西州尼普顿被侵蚀的河岸上建造的。这一努力已经极大地改善了遭受严重侵蚀破坏的地区。可知，这种材料是环保的。故选B。
33．考查细节理解。根据第五段中的"In 2016, the Felix Neck Wildlife Refuge in Edgartown, Massachusetts, built barriers around a salt marsh that had eroded in the past. While the effort did help reduce erosion for a while, the material did not last long because of strong waves."2016年，马萨诸塞州埃德加敦的费利克斯颈部野生动物保护区在过去受到侵蚀的盐沼周围建造了屏障。虽然这种努力确实在一段时间内帮助减少了侵蚀，但由于强烈的海浪，这种材料并没有持续很长时间。可知， 马萨诸塞州埃德加敦的屏障没有维持很长的时间。故选C。
34．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Suzan Bellincampi is the refuge's director. ‘The project is really interesting in terms of what we want to do and how we adapt it,' she said. ‘It's not for every site. It works in some places; it doesn't work in all places.'"Suzan Bellincampi是该保护区的负责人。她说："就我们想做什么以及如何适应它而言，这个项目真的很有趣。这并不适用于每个网站。它在某些地方有效；它并不是在所有地方都有效。"可推断, Suzan Bellincampi对这个项目持客观的态度。故选A。
35．考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的"Long pieces from the outer shell of the coconut(椰子), known as coir(椰子壳粗纤维),are often used with other materials to build barriers. The barriers are used to protect beaches from getting washed away by the force of waves. "椰子外壳上的长片，被称为椰子壳粗纤维，通常与其他材料一起用来建造屏障。这些障碍物是用来保护海滩不被海浪冲走的；及全文可知，文章介绍了研究人员利用椰壳和其他材料一起建造保护海滩不被海浪侵蚀的屏障。"椰子中的物质有助于保护沿海地区"适合作文章标题，故选D。

Left-handed people make up around 12% of the global population. One really interesting fact that I picked up was from a scientist who believed that left-handed people tended to be more independent as a result of having to adapt to a world that is largely built for right-handed individuals. 　36． 　!
More likely to have allergies and sleep disorders
A study found that left-handed people were 11 times more likely to suffer from allergies than right-handed folk. 　37． 　.
Left-handed people use the right side of the brain the most
　38． 　, meaning that the right side controls the left side of the body and the other way around. Hence there is a well-known saying "only left-handed people are in their right minds". The right-hand side of the brain is thought to control the left side of the body and tasks to do with the arts and creativity.
Are left-handed people smarter
　39． 　! One 2007 study "Effect of handedness on intelligence level of students"shows that lefties are more likely to have higher IQ. However, another 2010 study "The relationship between hand preference, hand performance, and general cognitive ability" suggests the exact opposite!
　40． 　
Experiments showed that when given two tasks to complete simultaneously (同时), lefties performed best. This is because right-handed people tend to solve problems by breaking them down into parts and analyzing each piece one at a time. While left-handed people tend to look at the problem as a whole and use pattern-matching to try and solve it.
A. Better at multi-tasking
B. Smarter than the right-handed
C. As we know, the brain is cross-wired
D. This one varies depending on how dated your source is
E. Here are a few more fascinating left-handed people facts
F. Mixed-handed children are more likely to experience language issues

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于左撇子的一些有趣的事情。
【点评】考查七选五，本文是一篇生活类阅读，要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。
36．根据空前"Left-handed people make up around 12% of the global population. One really interesting fact that I picked up was from a scientist who believed that left-handed people tended to be more independent as a result of having to adapt to a world that is largely built for right-handed individuals."左撇子约占全球人口的12%。我从一位科学家那里发现了一个非常有趣的事实，他认为左撇子往往更独立，因为他们必须适应一个主要为右撇子建立的世界。可知研究发现左撇子更独立；以及空后"More likely to have allergies and sleep disorders"更容易有过敏和睡眠障碍。可知接下来文章主要讲的是左撇子的一些有趣的事情，全文是总——分的结构，由此推知，空处承上启下，所以应该讲的是和左撇子有关的一些有趣的事情， E. Here are a few more fascinating left-handed people facts "这里有一些关于左撇子的有趣事实"承接上文，引出下文，符合语境。故选E。
37．根据本段小标题"More likely to have allergies and sleep disorders"更容易有过敏和睡眠障碍，可知本段主要讲的是左撇子更容易有过敏和睡眠障碍；以及空前"A study found that left-handed people were 11 times more likely to suffer from allergies than right-handed folk."一项研究发现，左撇子患过敏症的可能性是右撇子的11倍。可知此处讲的是左撇子更容易患过敏症，可推断接下来应该讲的是睡眠障碍问题，G. And lefties were two and a half times more likely to suffer from sleep disorders"左撇子患睡眠障碍的可能性是左撇子的2.5倍"指出了左撇子更容易患有睡眠障碍，符合语境。故选G。
38．根据本段小标题"Left-handed people use the right side of the brain the most"左撇子使用右脑最多。可知本段主要讲的是左撇子更容易使用右脑；以及空后"meaning that the right side controls the left side of the body and the other way around."也就是说，大脑的右侧控制着身体的左侧，反之亦然。可知此处是在对左右脑的交叉控制这一事实进行解释，所以空处应该指出大脑是交叉控制的这一事实，C. As we know, the brain is cross-wired"正如我们所知，大脑是交叉的"符合语境。故选C。
39．根据本段小标题"Are left-handed people smarter "左撇子更聪明吗？可知本段主要围绕着左撇子的是不是更聪明来展开；以及空后"One 2007 study ‘Effect of handedness on intelligence level of students' shows that lefties are more likely to have higher IQ. However, another 2010 study ‘The relationship between hand preference,hand performance, and general cognitive ability' suggests the exact opposite!" 2007年一项名为"用手习惯对学生智力水平的影响"的研究表明，左撇子更有可能拥有更高的智商。然而，另一项2010年的研究"用手偏好、用手表现和一般认知能力之间的关系"得出了完全相反的结论！可知关于左撇子的智商问题不同日期的研究结果是不一样的。空处位于段首，应是对全段的概括，所以空处应该讲关于左撇子是不是更聪明这个问题的答案与消息来源的日期有关，D. This one varies depending on how dated your source is"这取决于你的资料来源的年代"明确指出关于左撇子是不是更聪明这个问题的答案与消息来源的日期有关，既回答了小标题的提问，同时也概括了全段，符合语境。故选D。
40．根据空后"Experiments showed that when given two tasks to complete simultaneously (同时), lefties performed best. This is because right-handed people tend to solve problems by breaking them down into parts and analyzing each piece one at a time. While left-handed people tend to look at the problem as a whole and use pattern-matching to try and solve it."实验表明，当同时完成两项任务时，左撇子的表现最好。这是因为右撇子倾向于把问题分解成几个部分，并一次分析一个部分来解决问题。而左撇子倾向于把问题看作一个整体，并使用模式匹配来尝试解决它)"可知左撇子在解决问题时更倾向于整体解决问题。空处为本段标题，所以空处应该讲的是左撇子的另外一个有趣的事实——更善于把问题看作一个整体来解决， A. Better at multi-tasking "更善于同时处理多项任务"指出左撇子的另一个有趣的事实即善于处理多项任务，符合语境。故选A。
四、完形填空

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了当今社会正以快速增长的速度变化着。这种变化的速度被认为对我们生活中的精神和身体健康产生了直接影响。
【点评】考查语法填空，本题考点涉及时态语态，形容词，名词，非谓语动词，冠词，同位语从句，介词以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
56．句意：这种变化的速度被认为对我们生活中的精神和身体健康产生了直接影响。此处是谓语动词，主语This speed of change抽象概念和谓语动词believe为被动关系，结合上下文时态可知，此处为一般现在时，所以此处动词为一般现在时的被动语态结构。故填is believed。
57．句意：社会遵循自然和法律的规则，并正在变得比以前更好。由空后than可知，此处为形容词的比较级形式。故填better。
58．句意：例如，在一家公司工作的一名员工无法处理加班，而他的其他同事不仅准备好了，而且非常兴奋地工作，并获得新的技能和能力，那么这是一个值得关注的问题，因为他将在进步的比赛中落后。根据句意以及空前不定冠词an可知，此处为单数名词employee"员工"，满足句意要求。故填employee。
59．句意：例如，在一家公司工作的一名员工无法处理加班，而他的其他同事不仅准备好了，而且非常兴奋地工作，并获得新的技能和能力，那么这是一个值得关注的问题，因为他将在进步的比赛中落后。be unable to do sth.固定短语，"无法做某事"，故填to deal。
60．句意：例如，在一家公司工作的一名员工无法处理加班，而他的其他同事不仅准备好了，而且非常兴奋地工作，并获得新的技能和能力，那么这是一个值得关注的问题，因为他将在进步的比赛中落后。分析句子可知，该空形容词作表语，结合前面fellow workers可知，为修饰人的形容词-ed形式。故填excited。
61．句意：这个例子清楚地说明了跟上社会的快速发展是多么重要。根据句意以及空后clear picture为单数名词可知，此处为表示泛指"一张清楚的照片"为泛指概念，结合clear为首音节辅音单词可知，所以为不定冠词a，故填a。
62．句意：尽管快速变化带来职业满足感，但认为它能带来其他满足感的想法是错误的。 it brings any otherkind of satisfaction is false.是同位语从句，不缺成分且意义完整，此处为从属连词that引导的同位语从句，对前面的名词idea补充说明解释。故填that。
63．句意：一些统计数据显示，由于工作压力和持续变化而生病的人的比例已经从1995年的5%上升到2020年的50%。due to固定短语，"由于"，故填to。
64．句意：总之，有必要在跟上社会发展的步伐和保持健康的生活方式之间保持良好的平衡。分析句子可知，此处为固定句型it is adj. to do sth."做某事是怎样的"，满足句意要求，形容词necessary作表语。故填necessary。
65．句意：总之，有必要在跟上社会发展的步伐和保持健康的生活方式之间保持良好的平衡。分析句子可知，此处为between…and…连接的并列结构，由between后的catching为动名词可知，此处也应为动名词形式。故填maintaining。

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。
"Hey, honey!" I said, hugging my seven-year-old, Jean Prince, as she got off the bus. "How was school " I asked her as I always did.
"Well, not so real good," she replied, looking sad. "Everyone has their pictures on the Reading Bulletin Board (布告栏) but me. I never get my picture up, not for math or reading or anything." Her shoulders fell suddenly, and her chin began to shake clearly.
I'd like to believe that, with enough educational treatment, visits to the doctor, experimenting with different medicines for ADHD (多动症), and drill, practice, and patience at home, I can turn my Jean into a teacher's "dream child, " the skilled and intelligent kid who gets everything right and never colors outside the lines.
But I can't. And every failure is yet another blow to me, as well as to Jean. Taking a deep breath, I turned on the "building self-esteem (自尊)" mode. "Well, honey, I'm sorry. But I'll bet something good happened to you today, didn't it What was the best thing that you did today " Jean took her own sweet time, thinking things through. To my relief, she wasn't, however, on the edge of tears anymore.
Finally, she brightened a bit and said slowly, "Yes, when I passed the gate of the park, I saw a little girl who was walking with her mother and she fell down and cried because her knee bled, I hurried home and took my Barbie doll and gave it to her. She loved it and stopped crying, her mother said thanks to me and I felt good."
"Sweetie, that's great!" I said excitedly.
"It is you who have told me that I should be kind and learn to share good things with others," Jean replied.
I learned that Jean had saved from her allowance (零花钱) for the past month to get that doll, which was her favorite, so I thought to myself, "I will tell all these to Mrs Doe, Jean's teacher."
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。
Later that night, after driving Jean home, I hurried to Mrs Doe's.
……
At 4:30 the next afternoon, Jean rushed to me happily at the school gate.
【答案】Later that night, after driving Jean home, I hurried to Mrs Doe's. I took a deep breath and knocked at the door. When the door was open and came out Mrs Doe, I said nervously that I was sorry to disturb her, but I wanted to discuss with her something about my daughter. Without waiting for my finishing my words, Mrs Doe invited me in. I sat down and explained everything to her. She promised to praise Jean the next day, then we said goodbye.
At 4:30 the next afternoon, Jean rushed to me happily at the school gate. When she hugged me, I pretended to be confused, asking why she was so cheerful. "Guess what Mum, " Jean made a face. I shook my head, then she said that she saw her picture on the Reading Bulletin Board for her kindness and sharing good things with others. I patted Jean on the shoulder, saying that sharing is good and it is worth taking even a small action to show kindness.
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，讲述了作者的女儿Jean故事患有多动症，在学校里没能受到表扬而感到沮丧，作者使用她们的"自尊建立模式"找了Jean这一天中的值得高兴的事情：Jean把自己心爱的玩具送给了摔倒的小朋友，作者为她的善良感到骄傲。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容"那天晚上晚些时候，在开车送Jean回家后，我赶紧去了多伊夫人家。"可知，第一段可描写作者开车到老师家要交流的事情， 把的善举告诉了老师。②由第二段首句内容"第二天下午4点半，Jean在学校门口高兴地向我冲过来。"可知，第二段可描写受到表扬，作者假装不知原因，肯定了女儿的善举。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如：When the door was open and came out Mrs Doe, I said nervously that I was sorry to disturb her, but I wanted to discuss with her something about my daughter.运用了时间状语从句，倒装句，宾语从句，转折并列句； She promised to praise Jean the next day, then we said goodbye.运用了并列句；When she hugged me, I pretended to be confused, asking why she was so cheerful.运用了时间状语从句，现在分词作状语，宾语从句； I shook my head, then she said that she saw her picture on the Reading Bulletin Board for her kindness and sharing good things with others. 运用了并列句，宾语从句；I patted Jean on the shoulder, saying that sharing is good and it is worth taking even a small action to show kindness.运用了现在分词作状语，宾语从句。并列句。
