【原文】On this graduation ceremony I’d like to offer my sincere congratulations to you all. Well done, everyone. I’ve got three tips to share with you, hoping to make a direction for the future life after your graduation from college.
Tip one: There are few things that get you over your own crop more than working hard. Do you want to know how to work hard? It’s not difficult. All you have to do is to listen. Listen to what’s going on around you. Learn how the project you are working on fits into the big picture. Learn how you fit in. When you truly understand how the big picture works, you start being able to expect changes and change your behavior.
Tip two: Be kind to everyone. I can’t stress this enough, but it remains true. Kindness will pay back invaluable rewards. Don’t you believe me? I’m sure that at some point you’ll have the opportunity to work for someone who used to be your assistant, or hire someone who used to be your boss.
Tip three: Stay interested. Is there anything you can’t stop thinking about? Keep doing it. Interest is the better part of success. You will be great at the things that you are willing to do.
Remember that you have time to figure out what you want to do. You have time to try again. Just have courage to do it so long as you’re willing to work hard.
Questions:
1. Whom is the speech aimed at?
2. Why does the speaker give the speech?
3. Which of the following is NOT a tip the speaker share?

14.
A. The benefits of walking. B. The importance of keeping fit.
C. The way of forming a habit. D. The possibility of excising regularly.
15.
A. Because it needs much thinking.
B. Because people can improve their memory.
C. Because it is suitable for everyone.
D. Because people needn’t concentrate on it.
16.
A. It is the easiest way to lose weight. B. It can be made part of people’s life.
C. It can make people’s hearts stronger. D. It prevents people suffering from cancers.
【答案】14. A 15. D 16. D
【解析】
【原文】Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot … you can travel fast or slow. The movement of your feet gets you where you need to go. But it also gets you so much more! Walking is a basic, simple exercise that’s suitable for almost everyone.
Walking helps you in many ways. First it makes you heart stronger. Studies show regular walking reduces your chance of heart disease. Walking quickly for 30 minutes a day also helps control high blood pressure. It can reduce your chance of developing some cancers, too.
Want to lose weight? You need to burn 600 more calories each day than you eat. Walking is the easiest way. As people age, their brains don’t work as well. One in 14 people over 65 suffers from memory loss. Older people who walk six miles or more per week keep their brains in better shape.
Walking helps your mental health, too. Putting one foot in front of the other isn’t difficult. You don’t have to think about it, so you can concentrate on other things.
You can make walking part of your day. Instead of parking near your house, park a distance away and walk. Instead of taking the elevator, walk. Make walking a habit, and see how it makes you feel.
Questions:
1. What’s the topic of the passage?
2. Why is walking good for people’s mental health?
3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about walking in the passage?

【原文】W: Hi, Bryan. How are you doing? You look tired.
M: Oh, I’m a little burned out. I’ve been surfing the Net for the last few hours.
W: Were you doing schoolwork, or was it just for pleasure?
M: Well, I wanted to get some information on South America for a project I have, but I found a really interesting chat site with people from there and started chatting.
W: Well, did you get the information you needed?
M: Yes, but then we spent lots of time chatting about other interests.
W: I see. The Internet is a wonderful place. There is so much information available. Sometimes I find myself looking for one piece of information, but by the time I have finished, I have lot of more than I started off looking for.
M: I know. One thing I really don’t like about it, though, it takes so much longer to find things, because many sites are useless.
W: Yes, there is that, and also, I often find the same site over and over again in a search. That definitely wastes lots of my time.
M: And of course, there are sites that offer little to no relative information on the topic you are searching for. In my search today, I found quite a few sites that were nothing more than old event calendars.
W: Well, I’m sure they were useful to someone at some time, but they should be removed when they’re no longer of use to anyone.
M: I agree. With all the time I spend on it, I still find it to be the best source of information available. And speaking of information, I really should read though what I got on the Internet and start working on my subjects.
W: Okay. Good luck. It’s funny we had this chat, as I was just on my way home to surf the Net myself.
M: Well, it was nice talking to you, and maybe I’ll meet you in a chat room later tonight.
Questions:
1. Why does the man look tired?
2. Why did the man surf the Internet?

4. What does the man NOT like about the Internet?

Inflation (通货膨胀) ruins Broadway’s romance with the Phantom
The stage chandelier (水晶吊灯) will fall for the last time when “The Phantom of the Opera,” the longest running musical on Broadway, shuts in February after 35 years.
Musical theatre has been the mainstay of Broadway since the 19th century, but the business of running grand musicals ____21____ require huge audiences to pay high ticket prices is quite a gamble.
“Phantom” ____22____ (see) by almost 20 million people on Broadway by earlier this month, grossing $1.3 billion. It ____23____ not match classical operas as a work of art, but you cannot argue with a cash machine. However, the machine can suddenly break down, as Phantom has found on Broadway ____24____ it returned post-pandemic last year.
The biggest difficulty is not the initial investment in a new production, enormous ____25____ this can be; it is that musicals are very costly to keep going. Cameron Mackintosh, joint producer of “Phantom,” compares them with yachts. “It is like owning a boat: the happiest days are buying and selling it. It is extremely expensive to run.”
The drag has become greater with high inflation. Mackintosh estimates that so far, the weekly cost of putting on “Phantom” on Broadway ____26____ (rise) by $100,000, with further rises in energy and other expenses to come.
This is reinforced by the fact, as is often the case in London and New York, ____27____ long-running musicals tend to become increasingly dependent on tourists, with locals attracted ____28____ limited runs of new shows and revivals. Fewer have been visiting New York than before Covid hit, particularly from Asia. As demand falls, tickets get ____29____ (discount) and the economics of the older musical sag (萧条、下挫).
This will probably not be the last New York has seen of the lovestruck masked man; “Phantom” may be revived in the future, perhaps in a more viable form. It will carry on touring the world for limited runs. If the tourists will not come to “Phantom,” it will come to ____30____(they) .
【答案】21. that##which
22. had been seen
23. may##might
24. since 25. though##as
26. has risen
27. that 28. to
29. discounted
30. them
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是百老汇上演35年之久的音乐剧《歌剧魅影》（The Phantom of The Opera）将于今年2月停演。
【21题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：自19世纪以来，音乐剧一直是百老汇的主流，但演出大型音乐剧需要大量观众支付高昂的票价，这是一场赌博。空格处引导的是定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词musicals是物，因此空格处用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【22题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：截至本月初，《魅影》在百老汇已有近2000万人观看，总收入13亿美元。由“by earlier this month”可知，句子时态用过去完成时，且《魅影》是被观看，因此空格处用过去完成时的被动语态had been seen，故填had been seen。
【23题详解】
考查情态动词。句意：作为一种艺术作品，它也许不能与古典歌剧相比，但你不能与自动提款机争辩。空后是动词原形，空格处是情态动词，根据语境可知，句子表示“作为一种艺术作品，它也许不能与古典歌剧相比”，空格处意为“也许”，情态动词用may/might。故填may/might。
【24题详解】
考查连词。句意：然而，就像去年疫情后重返百老汇的《魅影》一样，这台机器可能会突然故障。由has found是现在完成时可知，空格处用since，表示“自从”，故填since。
【25题详解】
考查连词。句意：最大的困难不是新产品的初始投资，尽管这可能是巨大的。根据语境可知，句子表示“最大的困难不是新产品的初始投资，尽管这可能是巨大的”，空格处意为“尽管”，空前是形容词，空格处用though/as。故填though/as。
【26题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：Mackintosh估计，到目前为止，在百老汇上演《魅影》的每周费用已经上涨了10万美元，能源和其他费用还会进一步上涨。由so far可知，句子时态用现在完成时，主语cost是不可数名词，因此空格处是has risen。故填has risen。
【27题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意：正如在伦敦和纽约经常发生的那样，长期演出的音乐剧往往越来越依赖游客，当地人被有限的新演出和复播所吸引，这一事实进一步强化了这一点。分析可知，空格处引导的是同位语从句，先行词是fact，从句中不缺成分，且句子意思完整，因此空格处用that引导同位语从句，故填that。
【28题详解】
考查介词。句意：正如在伦敦和纽约经常发生的那样，长期演出的音乐剧往往越来越依赖游客，当地人被有限的新演出和复播所吸引，这一事实进一步强化了这一点。根据语境可知，此处表示“当地人被有限的新演出和复播所吸引”，也就是当地人被吸引到有限的新演出和复播，空格处意为“到”，用介词to，故填to。
【29题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：随着需求下降，门票打折，老音乐的经济下滑。票是被打折，空格处用过去分词表被动，故填discounted。
【30题详解】
考查。句意：如果游客不来看《魅影》，它会来找他们。根据语境可知，句子表示“如果游客不来看《魅影》，它会来找他们”，空格处用宾格them作宾语，故填them。

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
When educators think of literacy — the ability to read and write — they often place more importance on a student’s ability to read and fully comprehend a piece of writing. But experts say critical and creative writing skills are equally important. And, they are too often ____41____ in the classroom.
Compared to reading, writing is more ____42____. It helps students be independent thinkers, take ____43____ of their stories and ideas and communicate them clearly to others. Unless we want an education system just focused on making people ____44____ and not focused on helping them to be producers, this ____45____ on reading only — which does happen in so many places — is very short-sighted.
Students’ writing work now usually ____46____ on examining a text, instead of presenting a new idea. Writing should be the central thing you’re learning, rather than writing in response to a text on a test or writing to demonstrate you’ve learned what someone has taught you.
Writing improves reading skills
Teaching reading together with writing improves both skills, says Rebecca Wallace-Segall, who ____47____ a New York City writing center, Writopia Lab. She said writing affects a person’s ability to read. More than 90 percent of young people in the Writopia program do not ____48____ their writing abilities when they start, Wallace-Segall said. But she said they learn to enjoy the writing process and become more effective ____49____, too.
Employers today seek workers all the time who can write well. Digital tools _____50_____ mean that people are interacting with the internet through writing. Young people are _____51_____ writing all the time — through text messages, emails and on social media. Every young person today is a writer if they are connected to the internet.
Working through _____52_____ by writing
Supporters of writing-centered teaching add that writing _____53_____ young people. When students own their _____54_____ and tell their stories, they become not only stronger and more confident writers, but also stronger and more confident individuals.
Writing also helps students work through difficulties they face in life. They’re not writing a story about a difficult father or directly about a bully in class, but they are creating a _____55_____ scenario that might feel distant enough for them to explore some of these problems at a deeper level. Thus, teaching students to write well can have an effect on the larger world. Those adults can see that the stories they’re telling themselves about those young people are often wrong and doing a lot of harm in the world.

【41题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：而且，他们在课堂上经常被忽视。A. emphasized强调，重视；B. overlooked 忽视；C. concealed 隐藏，掩饰；D. exhibited 陈列，展览。根据上文“they often place more importance on a student’s ability to read and fully comprehend a piece of writing. But experts say critical and creative writing skills are equally important. (他们通常更重视学生阅读和全面理解一篇文章的能力。但专家表示，批判性和创造性写作技巧同样重要)”可知，设空所在句中的“they”指代上文的“critical and creative writing skills”；根据此处语境可推断，设空处意为批判性和创造性写作技巧经常在教学中被“忽视”。故选B项。

【43题详解】

Section B
Direction：Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
At first, I didn’t recognize the symptoms that we all had in common. Friends mentioned that they were having trouble concentrating. It wasn’t burnout — we still had energy. It wasn’t depression — we didn’t feel hopeless. We just felt somewhat joyless and aimless.
It turns out there’s a name for that: languishing.
Languishing is a sense of inactivity and emptiness. It feels as if you’re muddling (应付) through your days, looking at your life through a foggy windshield.
In psychology, we think about mental health on a spectrum (范围) from depression to flourishing. Flourishing is the peak of well-being. Depression is the valley of ill-being. Languishing is the neglected middle child of mental health. It’s the emptiness between depression and flourishing – the absence of well-being. You’re not functioning at full capacity. Languishing dulls your motivation, disrupts your ability to focus, and greatly increases the possibility that you’ll cut back on work.
Part of the danger is that when you’re languishing, you might not notice the lessening of delight or the decreasing of drive. You don’t catch yourself slipping slowly into aloneness; you’re indifferent to your indifference. When you can’t see your own suffering, you don’t seek help or even do much to help yourself.
So what can we do about it? People who became more focused on their work managed to avoid languishing. Interrupted attention is an enemy of engagement and excellence. To go beyond languishing, give yourself some uninterrupted time. It clears out constant distractions and gives us the freedom to focus. And try starting with small wins by focusing on a challenge that matters to you – an interesting project, a worthwhile goal, or a meaningful conversation.
We still have a lot to learn about what causes languishing and how to cure it, but naming it might be a first step. It could help to defog our vision, giving us a clearer window into what had been an unclear experience. It could remind us that we weren’t alone: languishing is common and shared.
By acknowledging that so many of us are languishing, we can start giving voice to quiet despair and lighting a path out of the emptiness.
56. According to the passage, which definition best suits the word “languishing”?
A. Staying in one’s comfort zone.
B. Having a vague view of one’s future.
C. Becoming weaker or failing to improve.
D. Feeling exhausted and without hope.
57. For those who are languishing, they are likely to ________.
A. seek help when they feel they’re suffering
B. deny that they cannot work at full capacity
C. give themselves some uninterrupted time
D. be indifferent to their lack of enthusiasm
58. Which of the following is a potential solution to languishing?
A. Removing it from the spectrum of mental health.
B. Recognizing the reduction of delight and motivation.
C. Improving attention span and eliminating distraction.
D. Having a clearer idea about its cause and effect.
59. Why is it significant to know that languishing is common and shared?
A. We can continue to learn more about languishing.
B. We can let the silent despair speak up and find a way out.
C. We can see it as basically the same as depression.
D. We can study it as the complete opposite of flourishing.
【答案】56. C 57. D 58. C 59. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种萎靡不振的精神状态——languishing，以及可以做些什么去改变这种精神状态。
【56题详解】
词句猜测题。通过文章第三段“Languishing is a sense of inactivity and emptiness. (Languishing是一种无所作为和空虚的感觉)”以及第五段“you might not notice the dulling of delight or the decreasing of drive (你可能没有注意到愉悦感的减弱或干劲的减少)”和“you don’t seek help or even do much to help yourself (你不寻求帮助，甚至不做很多事来帮助自己)”可推知，C项“变弱或不上进”最适合定义“languishing”。故选C项。
【57题详解】
推理判断题。通过文章第五段“You don’t catch yourself slipping slowly into aloneness; you’re indifferent to your indifference. (你不会发现自己慢慢陷入孤独；你对自己的冷漠毫不关心)”可推知，对自己缺乏热情，漠不关心就可以被描述为languishing。故选D项。
【58题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“Languishing dulls your motivation, disrupts your ability to focus, and greatly increases the possibility that you’ll cut back on work.(languishing会削弱你的动力，扰乱你的专注能力，大大增加你减少工作的可能性)”可知，我们应改善提高专注力，减少分心来解决languishing。故选C项。
【59题详解】
细节理解题。通过文章最后一段“By acknowledging that so many of us are languishing, we can start giving voice to quiet despair and lighting a path out of the emptiness. (通过了解我们中的许多人都患有languishing，我们就能开始说出内心的平静的绝望，照亮并走出空虚的道路)”可知，知道languishing是普遍的和共同的是重要的，这样我们就可以将沉默的绝望大声说出来，并找到出路。故选B项。
(B)
What is a TEDx event?

TEDx brings the spirit of TED’s mission of “ideas worth spreading” to local communities around the globe. A TEDx event is a local gathering where live TED-like talks and videos previously recorded at TED conferences are shared with a community. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. All TEDx events present multiple issues and a diversity of voices from many disciplines. After all, what’s the fun without a little variety?
If you want to organize a TEDx event, you’ll need to apply for a TEDx license. No one is qualified to organize an event without being granted a license by TED.
So you want to organize a TEDx event?
Before you start, you should know the TEDx rules, which are non-negotiable and mandatory.
General rules
※ We value and welcome young organizers. However, if you’re under 18, you must be supervised by an adult.
※ TED allocates one location-based license series per application. Your TEDx event must happen in the city for which you received the license.
※ Your event must maintain the spirit of TED itself: focused on the power of ideas to change attitudes or lives. Your event may not exceed one day in length.
※ Up to 100 individuals may attend your event. Only those who have attended an official TED conference may organize an event with more than 100 attendees. Even those who have attended one or multiple TEDx events or TEDWomen are not qualified.
※ TEDx events are named after locations, such as cities, neighborhoods, streets etc., and aim to serve that named community. Event names must comply with the guideline for naming your event.
Special attentions
※ A TEDx event is not a platform for professional speakers. Its purpose is to give a platform to those who don’t often have one.
※ A TEDx event cannot be used to raise money, not even for a charity.
※ A TEDx event can’t be co-branded with an institution except under specific license types – for a college or university, or for internal events (for corporations and organizations).
※ TEDx events may not be used to promote spiritual or religious beliefs, commercial products or any kind of political agenda.
※ Every TEDx event either shows only TED Talk videos to its audience or shows both TED Talk videos and live speakers from the community. For events less than half a day in length, two TED Talks videos are required to be shown. For longer events, 25% of the total number of talks must be official TED Talk videos.
60. What do we know from the first part of the passage?
A. TEDx speeches should follow a single topic principle.
B. TED organization is not responsible for TEDx events.
C. TEDx is TED-like but it is operated independently.
D. TEDx is based upon prerecorded TED talks.
61. According to the General rules, a TEDx event organizer should ________.
A. name the event after locations
B. host the event in different cities
C. extend the event to one day
D. hold a TED event first
62. Which of the following people may be allowed to make a TEDx speech?
A. A professional speaker who wants to motivate people with success stories.
B. A college student who wants to advocate the use of green and renewable energy.
C. A member of a volunteer group who wants to collect money for the war victims.
D. A CEO in a high-tech industry who wants to popularize its newest product.
【答案】60. C 61. A 62. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文章主要叙述了什么是TEDx，以及如何组织一个TEDx活动的规则及注意事项等。
【60题详解】
细节理解题。第一部分中的“TEDX x=independently organized TED event(TEDX =独立组织的TED活动)”可知，TEDx与TED类似，但它是独立运行的，故选C。
【61题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二部分So you want to organize a TEDx event?的最后一段的第5小点“TEDx events are named after locations, such as cities, neighborhoods, streets etc(TEDx活动以地点命名，如城市、社区、街道等)”可知，根据一般规则，TEDx活动组织者应该以地点命名活动，故选A。
【62题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Special attentions”部分中第2小点“A TEDx event cannot be used to raise money, not even for a charity.(TEDX活动不能用于筹款，甚至不能用于慈善活动)”可知A是错误的。第4小点“TEDx events may not be used to promote spiritual or religious beliefs, commercial products or any kind of political agenda.(TEDx活动不得用于宣传精神或宗教信仰、商业产品或任何形式的政治议程)”，可知C和D是错误的。根据第3小点“A TEDx event can’t be co-branded with an institution except under specific license types – for a college or university(TEDx活动不能与任何机构合作，除非有特定的许可类型——学院或大学)”可知，“有特定的授权类型——如学院或大学”是可以的，以及第一部分中的“TEDx brings the spirit of TED’s mission of “ideas worth spreading” to local communities around the globe.(TEDx将TED的使命精神——“值得传播的思想”带到全球各地的地方社区)”可知，TEDx将TED的使命精神传播出去，因此B项中的“A college student who wants to advocate the use of green and renewable energy.(一个希望提倡使用绿色和可再生能源的大学生)”是可以做演讲的，故选B。
(C)
Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious” both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changed people’s natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to kins and neighbors, and substituted in their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the “obvious” is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.
Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation, a feeling of not belonging, than are residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and this leads them to a distrust of strangers.
These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference. If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young troublemakers. Moreover, as Wirth suggested, there may be a link between a community’s population size and its social heterogeneity (多样性). For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc. Large-city urbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan (见多识广的) outlook, to display less responsibility to traditional kinship roles, to vote for leftist political candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, and so-called undesirables. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes of large population size.
63. According to paragraph 1, it was once a common belief that people in modern society ________.
A. tended to acquaint themselves with people passing by
B. usually had more friends than small-town residents
C. bore great responsibilities to neighbors and relatives
D. could not develop very close relationships with others
64. One of the consequences of urbanism is that the city residents ________.
A. lower the quality of relationships
B. show little concern for strangers
C. suffer from the lack of friendship
D. become suspicious of each other
65. We can learn from the passage that the bigger a community is ________.
A. the more likely it is to display stress
B. the more open-minded people are
C. the more similar its interests are
D. the better its quality of life is
66. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Minor differences in the interpersonal relations between cities and towns
B. The positive role that urbanism has been playing in our modern society
C. Advantages and disadvantages of living in big cities or small towns
D. The strong feeling of alienation that city inhabitants are suffering
【答案】63. D 64. B 65. B 66. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲的是城市与小镇人际关系的微小区别。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious” both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changed people’s natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to kins and neighbors, and substituted in their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. (几十年前，在大众和社会学家看来，现代社会已经改变了人们的自然关系，放松了他们对亲戚和邻居的责任，用过路的熟人代替了表面的关系，这似乎是“显而易见的”。)”可知，一般大众与社会学家都认为亲人、邻居之间的关系变得淡薄，只与一些普通的熟人打交道，故选D。
【64题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents.( 小城镇的居民比大城市的居民亲属关系更紧密。)”和第三段中“If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young troublemakers.( 如果邻居之间互不相识，他们就不太可能为住在隔壁的老夫妇清扫人行道，也不太可能留意年轻的捣乱分子。)”可知，城市居民相对小镇居民不够关心他人，故选B。
【65题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Large-city urbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan (见多识广) outlook, to display less responsibility to traditional kinship roles, to vote for leftist political candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, and so-called undesirables. (大城市的都市人也比小城镇的都市人更有可能具有世界主义的观点，对传统的亲属角色表现出较少的责任感，投票给左翼政治候选人，对非传统宗教团体、不受欢迎的政治团体和所谓的不受欢迎的人更宽容。)”可知，城市居民比小镇居民更见多识广，更支持左翼政治候选人，更能宽容非传统的宗教团体等，这说明他们思想更开放，故选B。
【66题详解】
主旨大意题。本文第一段是中心段“However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the “obvious” is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.( 然而，近年来，越来越多的研究表明，“显而易见”的事实并非如此。似乎如果你是一个城市居民，你认识的邻居比例通常比你是一个小社区的居民要小。但在大多数情况下，这一事实几乎没有什么重大后果。这并不是说如果你不认识你的邻居，你就不认识其他人。)”可知，本文讲的是城市与小镇人际关系的微小区别，故选A。

IV. Summary Writing
71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.
Are you a textaholic?
Do you spend over an hour each day texting your friends? Do you frequently neglect work, study and leisure activities to check your phone for text message? Are you moody and emotional if you are separated from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs from texting too much?
If you answered 'Yes' to any of the above questions, then the chances are that you are a textaholic.A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving text messages.The main symptoms are strong will to text which takes precedence over (优先于) everything else, and withdrawal symptoms (戒断症状)if messages fail to come in, leading to anger, depression and a lack of self-respect.Other problems include sleeplessness, eye strain, and repetitive strain injury due to constant messaging, not to mention expensive phone bills.The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems.Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.
So what can you do if you think you may be textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance.Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out.Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re — learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages.Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.
【答案】Textaholics are those who can't live without text messages, without which health problems may arise physically and mentally. （要点1）The problem is caused by mental trouble a person has in life.（要点2）To solve it, one should try to live a balanced life, getting isolated from the mobile phone and having more personal communication with family and friends.（要点3）

【答案】Dear Sir/Madam,
I know that my hometown is planning an online tourism festival, and is collecting promotional video plans from the city’s young people, aiming to explore the city’s tourism resources and urban culture, and carry out innovative practice of telling good Chinese stories and spreading good Chinese voices. I’m writing to talk about my ideas for the video.
I think the attractions that should be included in this video are Xintiandi, the Bund and Yu Garden. The producers should use cameras to record a day of people in these three places, so that visitors can enjoy the harmonious combination of Shanghai’s tradition and modernity, feel the life of Shanghai people, thus making it possible to spread Chinese culture.
The innovation of this design is that by showing people’s daily life and work, visitors will be interested in the life in Shanghai and can’t wait to experience the life in Shanghai in person.
I hope my idea can be adopted.
Yours,
Li Ming
