I often find myself drawn to books that explore rural settings. Here are a few books that I’ve read and loved.
Rush Oh!
(by Shirley Barrett)
Rush 0h! is one of the most touching books I’ve read. It follows the Davidsons, a whaling family from Wales. After the death of her mother, Mary Davidson has many worries: her five siblings(兄弟姐妹) and caring for her father. The author Barrett’s exploration of this world and her characters are bittersweet and humorous.
Questions of Travel
(by Michelle de Kretser)
Questions of Travel is a portrait of Ravi, a Sri Lankan refugee(难民) who flees to Australia after his wife and son’s death, and Laura, a young woman who moves to London and back again. The writing is beautiful and touching. Never before have I read Sydney brought so vividly to life.

Retired couple May Proctor, 71, and her husband Rod, 73, have transformed their garden into a fairyland(仙境) themed light show for local kids to enjoy. May and Rod came up with the concept last year but this time is to be the biggest display yet. The mystical (神秘的) garden is open for children to walk through and upon entry they will find a “fairy world” filled with pizza shops, very small shops and a magical forest. This year the home itself has been transformed according to Alice in Wonderland.
May says she is a fairy fan and that the huge amount of decoration is worth it for the magic. “I’ve always liked to make a bit of a magical garden, but this year I’ve just been excited.” she said.“Especially it’s just magic at night, absolutely amazing.”
An ex-dinner lady, May Proctor, the native, said she and her husband never planned on doing the light display this year. Then as autumn approached, the couple felt that they had to show something. So they decided again to go on to create a light display.
The topic for this year’s fairy display—Fairy Lane in Wonderland—is inspired by the mystical world of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.
Throughout the house and garden, visitors will go down a rabbit hole into a fantastic kingdom. “Last year it was just outside, but this year it’s inside, and it’s just amazing,” May explained.
“Outside, I’ve made my own fairies and they were hung with the flowers, so it looks like a real Christmas fairyland. But inside, we’ve got some stage properties—so we’ve got a mirror with all Alice in Wonderland features around it. The kids absolutely love it, but I only let ten to twelve inside at a time due to the pandemic (流行病), where they can sit down and have their pictures taken.”
4. What can we know about May Proctor from Paragraph 1?
A. She lives in a fairy land.
B. She is familiar with Alice in Wonderland.
C. She has many small shops in the town.
D. She has many children and grandchildren.
5. How did May Proctor feel about the light display this year?

C. Going down a rabbit hole. D. Going through a magic mirror.
7. Why did May only allow several kids to get inside at a time?
A. The garden was really small.
B. She was concerned about their health.
C. The hole is too narrow to get into.
D. There were not many kids enjoying the display.
C
A new study, published in The Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.
In the study, researchers used various experiments to gauge (测量) connectedness. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people predicted that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better. However, people who participated in the experiment reported that they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connected by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio(声音). They found that both forms of voice communication — whether video or audio only — made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can express thoughts without being disturbed.
Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message. In face-to-face communication, people are able to gauge the meaning behind the content more easily without thinking the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.
8. What is the purpose of the study?
A. To encourage people to let their fingers do the talking.
B. To introduce the effects of verbal and non-verbal communications.
C. To show the strengths and weaknesses of making phone calls.
D. To compare connectedness of communication through voice and typing.
9. Which way will make you feel more connected if you miss a friend far away?
A. Typing a letter. B. Sending an email.
C. Texting a message. D. Having a video chat.
10. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It’s easy to express the true meaning of a conversation by texting.
B. A phone call can convey information more exactly than texting.
C. It’s not a good way to communicate face to face.
D. Texting is more convenient than calling.
11. What is the advantage of making phone calls over texting?
A. Being more formal. B. Being less awkward.
C. Being more straightforward. D. Being less expensive.
D
A herd of 15 Asian elephants has been making its way North across China since March 2020, and nobody is quite sure why.
The herd has covered more than 500 kilometers since they wandered out of their home in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, located in southwestern China along its border with Laos and Myanmar. Authorities in China have tried to keep the animals away from populated areas with piles of fruit and vegetables and physical barriers. The herd was spotted last week on the suburb of Kunming.
“One potential explanation for the elephant migration(迁徙) is overcrowding in the nature reserve these animals once called home,” says George, an elephant specialist at Colorado State University. Asian elephants are endangered, only around 300 surviving in China, but the population living in the reserves of the Xishuangbanna region has been growing in recent years. George says this wayward (任性的) group might have set out to find a new home with less competition for resources.
“We’ve seen elephants expanding their range for decades now, as their populations increase, and they search for more food for the growing herd,” says Becky Chen, a conservation scientist at the Zoological Society of London who has studied elephant-human interactions. Other experts wonder if this is an example of a herd being misled by an inexperienced leader, or if the decision to roam was an almost random choice.
Authorities have instructed residents along the route to stay inside if the elephants are nearby and avoid disturbing the herd. If the animals can’t be turned back to their former forested home, scientists and land managers may need to make preparations for the elephants to live permanently in Kunming.
Chen says she hopes the situation will raise awareness of human-elephant conflict and elephant conservation. “What we have to learn is not how to solve the problem, but how to increase tolerance(包容),” she says. “How can we use this event to let everybody pay attention to coexistence between people and animals?”
12. Which is the possible reason for elephant migration?
A. The population of people. B. Inhabitant loss.
C. An act of a misleading head. D. Annual migration.
13. What does the underlined word “roam” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Settle. B. Wander. C. Leave. D. Accompany.
14. What may Chen agree with?
A. It takes long to live in harmony with animals.
B. It is important to reflect on how to live with animals.
C. The increasing elephants threaten human’s settlement.
D. The endangered elephants migrate due to human development.
15. Which section does the story most likely come from in a newspaper?
A. Nature. B. Health. C. Entertainment. D. Life.

Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well, let me give you advice on how to have a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.
Be an honest person with them. 16 . Don’t be afraid to say things that aren’t very flattering (讨人喜欢的) about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If there’s no trust，there’s nothing there. So please be honest and they’ll learn to open up to you.
Make sure you give them respect. Now respect isn’t just simply treating them nicely. There’s a lot more to it. You have to learn to get used to their liking. Basically, learn to study your partners’ moods, wants and needs. 17
Make sure you are encouraging your partner. 18 . Make them feel you are someone they can really depend on and build a future with. This is an important step in a relationship. Your partner has to be able to depend on you when needed.
Make sure you have a good sense of humor with them. 19 . Laugh a lot with them, and joke with them. Laughter may seem silly, but it’s the secret to a lot in life. It will keep the sparks alive. Laughter keeps the relationship strong and lasting.
20 . This usually goes along with trust, so always communicate how you feel even if it’s something that upsets you instead of screaming, talk to them. If they did something that made you unhappy, tell them about it in a respectful manner. It’s important to communicate this to them, not to keep it bottled up(闷在肚子里).
A. Do not hide things from them, and do not lie.
B. Show them your personality.
C. Laughter is the key to happiness.
D. Always be willing to help and encourage them.

47. 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。
It was my twelfth birthday, and what I really wanted was a new bicycle. But I knew my family couldn’t afford one.
A new bike was just a dream, so I wanted a nightstand (床头柜). I figured that at least I would have a safe place to keep my private things. So I asked my parents for a nightstand with lockable drawers (抽屉).
We went to the secondhand furniture store and found an old, dark brown nightstand. It didn’t look too cool, but at least it had drawers that I could keep locked. I decided that I would paint it to make it look better.
After we took it home, I was getting ready to paint it. When I pulled the drawers out, I felt something stuck (卡住) at the back of the bottom drawer. I reached in all the way to the back and was surprised to find a bag.
When opening the bag, I realized that there were some papers in it which were some kind of official-looking documents (文件). And beneath were a bunch of dollar bills! Talk about finding a treasure! And on my birthday!
I went ahead and read the papers, which turned out to be a will (遗嘱). Some old lady was leaving her savings to her son and grandchildren. The old lady must have died and nobody knew the money. Her family donated the nightstand to the secondhand furniture store and it was now in my hands.
I counted the money, over 1,000 dollars in total. I was going crazy. With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. I could even buy bicycles for my younger brothers. Maybe I could also get my parents a car.
What a dilemma! I could keep it and get all kinds of things for myself and my family. Or I could give it all back. “Somebody helps me with this!” I begged. But I really didn’t need anyone else to give me the answer. I already knew right from wrong. I decided not to fail this test. It was a test of honor - my honor.
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。
Paragraph 1:
I called my family into my bedroom and showed them what I had found.
Paragraph 2:
Several days later, the old lady’s son and his wife came to my house.

第一节（满分15分）
Possible version:
Small Act, Big Difference
Last Sunday, I took part in a voluntary activity in our neighborhood with many other volunteers, which was aimed at protecting our environment.
We gathered at our neighborhood committee at 8:30 am and started our voluntary work. Some volunteers swept the streets and picked up rubbish from the grass. What I did was to hand out some brochures to remind people of reducing pollution by getting around on foot or by bike, using reusable bags when go shopping. Every volunteer spared no effort to make our environment cleaner and greener.
The activity not only raised people’s awareness of environmental protection but also strengthened our sense of social responsibility. Only with our joint efforts can we live in a better neighborhood. I believe our small act can make a big difference.
第二节（满分25分）
Possible version:
I called my family into my bedroom and showed them what I had found. Eyes caught by the incredible bunch of dollar bills at once, they held their breath uncontrollably, frozen with shock. I told them I wanted to give them all back, and undoubtedly, I got their support. So we tuned to the secondhand furniture store owner for help. Looking through the donation records, the owner found the son’s telephone number. We got in touch with him right away, told him about the will and the money and made an appointment with him.
Several days later, the old lady’s son and his wife came to my house. Tears welled up in the man’s eyes when he saw the money and the papers, which apparently brought back his memories about his dead mother. Then the couple expressed their sincere gratitude to us. They said they were in big financial trouble now and my act of honesty was a timely help, not only giving them hope but also strengthening their faith. I had never felt better. No new bicycle could make me feel as good about myself as I felt that day. I passed an extremely important test of my honor.

Retired couple May Proctor, 71, and her husband Rod, 73, have transformed their garden into a fairyland(仙境) themed light show for local kids to enjoy. May and Rod came up with the concept last year but this time is to be the biggest display yet. The mystical (神秘的) garden is open for children to walk through and upon entry they will find a “fairy world” filled with pizza shops, very small shops and a magical forest. This year the home itself has been transformed according to Alice in Wonderland.
May says she is a fairy fan and that the huge amount of decoration is worth it for the magic. “I’ve always liked to make a bit of a magical garden, but this year I’ve just been excited.” she said.“Especially it’s just magic at night, absolutely amazing.”
An ex-dinner lady, May Proctor, the native, said she and her husband never planned on doing the light display this year. Then as autumn approached, the couple felt that they had to show something. So they decided again to go on to create a light display.
The topic for this year’s fairy display—Fairy Lane in Wonderland—is inspired by the mystical world of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.
Throughout the house and garden, visitors will go down a rabbit hole into a fantastic kingdom. “Last year it was just outside, but this year it’s inside, and it’s just amazing,” May explained.
“Outside, I’ve made my own fairies and they were hung with the flowers, so it looks like a real Christmas fairyland. But inside, we’ve got some stage properties—so we’ve got a mirror with all Alice in Wonderland features around it. The kids absolutely love it, but I only let ten to twelve inside at a time due to the pandemic (流行病), where they can sit down and have their pictures taken.”

A new study, published in The Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.
In the study, researchers used various experiments to gauge (测量) connectedness. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people predicted that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better. However, people who participated in the experiment reported that they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward.
In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connected by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio(声音). They found that both forms of voice communication — whether video or audio only — made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text.
Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can express thoughts without being disturbed.
Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message. In face-to-face communication, people are able to gauge the meaning behind the content more easily without thinking the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.
8. What is the purpose of the study?
A. To encourage people to let their fingers do the talking.
B. To introduce the effects of verbal and non-verbal communications.
C. To show the strengths and weaknesses of making phone calls.
D. To compare connectedness of communication through voice and typing.
9. Which way will make you feel more connected if you miss a friend far away?
A. Typing a letter. B. Sending an email.
C. Texting a message. D. Having a video chat.
10. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It’s easy to express the true meaning of a conversation by texting.
B. A phone call can convey information more exactly than texting.
C. It’s not a good way to communicate face to face.
D. Texting is more convenient than calling.
11. What is the advantage of making phone calls over texting?
A. Being more formal. B. Being less awkward.
C. Being more straightforward. D. Being less expensive.
D
A herd of 15 Asian elephants has been making its way North across China since March 2020, and nobody is quite sure why.
The herd has covered more than 500 kilometers since they wandered out of their home in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, located in southwestern China along its border with Laos and Myanmar. Authorities in China have tried to keep the animals away from populated areas with piles of fruit and vegetables and physical barriers. The herd was spotted last week on the suburb of Kunming.
“One potential explanation for the elephant migration(迁徙) is overcrowding in the nature reserve these animals once called home,” says George, an elephant specialist at Colorado State University. Asian elephants are endangered, only around 300 surviving in China, but the population living in the reserves of the Xishuangbanna region has been growing in recent years. George says this wayward (任性的) group might have set out to find a new home with less competition for resources.
“We’ve seen elephants expanding their range for decades now, as their populations increase, and they search for more food for the growing herd,” says Becky Chen, a conservation scientist at the Zoological Society of London who has studied elephant-human interactions. Other experts wonder if this is an example of a herd being misled by an inexperienced leader, or if the decision to roam was an almost random choice.
Authorities have instructed residents along the route to stay inside if the elephants are nearby and avoid disturbing the herd. If the animals can’t be turned back to their former forested home, scientists and land managers may need to make preparations for the elephants to live permanently in Kunming.
Chen says she hopes the situation will raise awareness of human-elephant conflict and elephant conservation. “What we have to learn is not how to solve the problem, but how to increase tolerance(包容),” she says. “How can we use this event to let everybody pay attention to coexistence between people and animals?”
12. Which is the possible reason for elephant migration?
A. The population of people. B. Inhabitant loss.
C. An act of a misleading head. D. Annual migration.
13. What does the underlined word “roam” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Settle. B. Wander. C. Leave. D. Accompany.
14. What may Chen agree with?
A. It takes long to live in harmony with animals.
B. It is important to reflect on how to live with animals.
C. The increasing elephants threaten human’s settlement.
D. The endangered elephants migrate due to human development.
15. Which section does the story most likely come from in a newspaper?
A. Nature. B. Health. C. Entertainment. D. Life.

It was my twelfth birthday, and what I really wanted was a new bicycle. But I knew my family couldn’t afford one.
A new bike was just a dream, so I wanted a nightstand (床头柜). I figured that at least I would have a safe place to keep my private things. So I asked my parents for a nightstand with lockable drawers (抽屉).
We went to the secondhand furniture store and found an old, dark brown nightstand. It didn’t look too cool, but at least it had drawers that I could keep locked. I decided that I would paint it to make it look better.
After we took it home, I was getting ready to paint it. When I pulled the drawers out, I felt something stuck (卡住) at the back of the bottom drawer. I reached in all the way to the back and was surprised to find a bag.
When opening the bag, I realized that there were some papers in it which were some kind of official-looking documents (文件). And beneath were a bunch of dollar bills! Talk about finding a treasure! And on my birthday!
I went ahead and read the papers, which turned out to be a will (遗嘱). Some old lady was leaving her savings to her son and grandchildren. The old lady must have died and nobody knew the money. Her family donated the nightstand to the secondhand furniture store and it was now in my hands.
I counted the money, over 1,000 dollars in total. I was going crazy. With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. I could even buy bicycles for my younger brothers. Maybe I could also get my parents a car.
What a dilemma! I could keep it and get all kinds of things for myself and my family. Or I could give it all back. “Somebody helps me with this!” I begged. But I really didn’t need anyone else to give me the answer. I already knew right from wrong. I decided not to fail this test. It was a test of honor - my honor.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Possible version:
Small Act, Big Difference
Last Sunday, I took part in a voluntary activity in our neighborhood with many other volunteers, which was aimed at protecting our environment.
We gathered at our neighborhood committee at 8:30 am and started our voluntary work. Some volunteers swept the streets and picked up rubbish from the grass. What I did was to hand out some brochures to remind people of reducing pollution by getting around on foot or by bike, using reusable bags when go shopping. Every volunteer spared no effort to make our environment cleaner and greener.
The activity not only raised people’s awareness of environmental protection but also strengthened our sense of social responsibility. Only with our joint efforts can we live in a better neighborhood. I believe our small act can make a big difference.
第二节（满分25分）
Possible version:
I called my family into my bedroom and showed them what I had found. Eyes caught by the incredible bunch of dollar bills at once, they held their breath uncontrollably, frozen with shock. I told them I wanted to give them all back, and undoubtedly, I got their support. So we tuned to the secondhand furniture store owner for help. Looking through the donation records, the owner found the son’s telephone number. We got in touch with him right away, told him about the will and the money and made an appointment with him.
Several days later, the old lady’s son and his wife came to my house. Tears welled up in the man’s eyes when he saw the money and the papers, which apparently brought back his memories about his dead mother. Then the couple expressed their sincere gratitude to us. They said they were in big financial trouble now and my act of honesty was a timely help, not only giving them hope but also strengthening their faith. I had never felt better. No new bicycle could make me feel as good about myself as I felt that day. I passed an extremely important test of my honor.
