W: It sounds like a good idea. But what about the workers here?
M: That’s what I’m worried about. We won’t need them anymore.

【原文】I’ve been sharing flats in the past four years. I had to admit my first experience was a disaster. My first roommate seemed really nice, but I changed my mind about her a few days after I moved in. One day I came home and threw my books and jacket onto the sofa. She shouted at me, “I hope you’re not going to leave those there!” It was then that I realized we could never get along, as I’m definitely not the world’s tidiest person. So I moved out soon. Then I shared a big house with three other foreign girls. It was great because the house was always full of young people and we had lots of parties. But it was almost impossible to do any work because the house was so noisy. The biggest arguments we had were always the day when the electricity bill arrived!
After a year the foreign girls went home, and I decided to share a flat with a good friend. We’ve been getting on really well. It’s great to have someone else help pay the rent and share dinner with you when you’re too exhausted to cook. And best of all, when you have a bad day you know there’s always someone to talk to.

Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and into the bright sunshine. Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying palm trees, they couldn’t wait to start their holiday.
A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat. “Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly. “Certainly, sir,” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar-in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can’t be.”
Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor. "Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers. “So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver!”
Derek and Shirley held each other’s hands more tightly. “Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent. I’m equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”
Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes. “And another thing,” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate in computer technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore, you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go wrong… could possibly go wrong… go wrong… go wrong…”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是Derek和Shirley到达旅游目的地,从机场大楼出来后乘坐的出租车是机器人司机,通过描述他们之间的对话,文章介绍了机器人司机的一些优点。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar-in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can’t be.(对不起,呃,你的脸看起来很面熟——事实上,你让我们想起了那个著名的电影明星Rocky Overton……当然,你不可能是。)”可知,Derek和Shirley钻进出租车时感到困惑是因为司机看起来像一个著名的演员。故选C。

C
A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life; needed, at least one time, to become more fully adult. But no question, the experience can be painful, even destructive.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy(同理心) and the desire to connect with others — both roads through the prison of heartache and despair.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.
A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy, compassion(同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from the prison with yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” enhanced their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously embraced their awareness of the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show embracing your sad situation emotionally — accepting reality as it is — activates healing and growth beyond it. In short, acknowledging your full experience arouses hope — another seeming paradox. For example, research from Cornell University, described here and published in Psychological Science, found that embracing discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, create motivation to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
28. Which is NOT the benefit of listening to sad music?
A. Making you full of sadness.
B. Activating your feelings of empathy.
C. Healing your broken heart.
D. Giving you a desire to connect with others
29. How does the author mainly develop this passage?
A. By giving examples.
B. By telling experiences.
C. By presenting research findings.
D. By quoting a famous saying.
30. Who are most likely to be helped by the “beautiful but sad” music?
A. People who have a broken heart.
B. People who are suffering great pain.
C. People who accept their sadness.
D. People who like beautiful music.
31. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Listening to Music Brightening Your Life
B. Listening to Sad Music Healing Your Broken Heart
C. The Power and Beauty of Sad Music
D. A Study on Listening to Sad Music
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明悲伤的音乐可以振奋精神,帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望,激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.(悲伤的音乐可以帮助你从破碎的心灵中治愈和振作起来)”及第四段中“A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy, compassion (同情), and a desire for positive connection with others.(德国最近的一项研究发现,听悲伤的音乐对情绪的影响是激发同理心、同情心,以及与他人建立积极联系的愿望)”可知,悲伤的音乐可以激发同理心、治愈受伤的心灵且让人渴望与他人联系,A项“让你充满悲伤”不是其好处。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache.(但研究表明,心痛是有途径的)”、第四段中“A recent study from Germany found...(德国最近的一项研究发现……)”、第五段中“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that…(肯特大学的另一项实验发现……)”以及最后一段中“These findings link with other studies that show embracing your sad situation emotionally—accepting reality as it is—activates healing and growth beyond it.(这些发现与其他研究相联系,其他研究表明,情感上接受你的悲伤处境——接受现实——可以激活治愈和成长)”可知,本文是通过呈现研究结果来展开的。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In fact, it did so when the person first consciously embraced their awareness of the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.(事实上,当一个人第一次有意识地面对导致自己悲伤处境,然后开始听悲伤的音乐时,就会这样。也就是说,当他们想着听悲伤的音乐或许有帮助时,他们发现确实有帮助)”可知,当一个人有意识地去面对自己的悲伤,打算靠悲伤的音乐疗伤时,他们发现确实可以被治愈,所以“美丽但悲伤”的音乐可能最有可能帮助那些接受自己的悲伤的人。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第三段“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.(悲伤的音乐可以帮助你从破碎的心灵中治愈和振作起来)”可知,本文主要讲述了研究表明,悲伤的音乐可以治愈受伤的心。故选B。
D
Yang Le Ge Yang, which roughly translates to “Sheep A Sheep” is a new game available on WeChat’s mini program and has gained national popularity in the past few
This sheep-based passthrough mini-game was developed by a Chinese start-up, Beijing Jianyou Technology, which boasts that “no more than 0.1% of players can get through all levels” in the game’s introduction, with the second level being the most difficult to pass, according to eager players who have already taken the challenge. This has aroused the desire to win among many other young users, resulting in this Internet fever.
The game allows those who turn into a sheep to change their skin covers after a successful match, and its comic-like art design coupled with earworm background music has become another appeal to China’s Gen Z users.
The game creates a strong sense of belonging by categorizing players based on the provinces they are from, motivate individuals to win and bring honor to their regions. In addition, game tools are another traffic driver as users are encouraged to share the game on social media in exchange for desired tools to aid their play, which has furthered its digital reach.
Although the game is free to play, game equipment plays a crucial role in bringing profit for the developer through its close ties to advertising. Users also have to watch in-app advertisements to win more powerful tools to get rid of obstacles in the matching process.
“The popularity of Sheep A Sheep indicates a consumer appetite for Hard Fun, (difficult to win) style content in China,” said Liao Xuhua, cultural consumption analyst at the industry research institute Analysis.
However, concerns have also arisen around the sustainability of this hyped(炒作的) game, due mainly to its low bar entry and low development cost. This allows copycats to soon follow, which has been proven by many similar mini-games.
32. What do we know about the users of the game Sheep A Sheep?
A. They are unlikely to get through all levels.
B. They can change their skin covers at any time.
C. They are deeply attracted by the background music.
D. They will design their own comic-like art in the game.
33. How does the developer of the game make profit according to the article?
A. By charging the users for playing the game.
B. By adding advertisements to the game.
C. By selling more powerful tools to the users.
D. By calling for more people to participate in the game.
34. What conclusion can we draw from the last but one paragraph?
A. Sheep A Sheep spoils the appetite of consumers.
B. The harder the game, the more fun it is.
C. The desire to win results in the popularity of the game.
D. Consumers become addicted to the game due to its style.
35. Which word can best describe the future of the game?
A. Promising. B. Definite. C. Hopeless. D. Uncertain.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了爆火的微信小游戏“羊了个羊”。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“This sheep-based passthrough mini -game was developed by a Chinese start-up, Beijing Jianyou Technology, which boasts that ‘no more than 0.1% of players can get through all levels’ in the game’s introduction, with the second level being the most difficult to pass, according to eager players who have already taken the challenge.(这款以绵羊为基础的穿越小游戏是由中国初创企业北京建友科技开发的,据已经接受挑战的热切玩家称,该公司在游戏介绍中吹嘘说‘通过所有关卡的玩家不超过0.1%’,其中第二级最难通过)”可知,游戏用户不可能通过所有关卡。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Although the game is free to play, game equipment plays a crucial role in bringing profit for the developer through its close ties to advertising.(虽然这款游戏是免费的,但游戏设备通过与广告的密切联系,在为开发商带来利润方面发挥着至关重要的作用)”可知,游戏开发商通过加入广告来获取利润。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“‘The popularity of Sheep A Sheep indicates a consumer appetite for Hard Fun, (difficult to win) style content in China,’ said Liao Xuhua, cultural consumption analyst at the industry research institute Analysis.(行业研究机构易观国际的文化消费分析师廖旭华表示:‘羊了个羊的流行表明,中国消费者对Hard Fun(难赢)风格的内容有兴趣。’)”可知,“羊了个羊”需要用户花费大量时间、经历和金钱等去完善技能,从中获得挑战的乐趣,由此可推知,对赢的渴望导致了这款游戏的流行,故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, concerns have also arisen around the sustainability of this hyped(炒作的) game, due mainly to its low bar entry and low development cost.(然而,这款被大肆炒作的游戏的可持续性也引起了人们的担忧,主要原因是它的门槛较低,开发成本较低)”可知,这款游戏门槛低,开发成本低,其未来如何尚不确定。故选D。

How the 2022 World Cup Works
The World Cup is nearly here. The schedule is complete. The leagues have stopped. The players have arrived. Yet even as the teams know where they are meant to be and who they are meant to play, there are still plenty of questions about how things will unfold as soccer moves center stage over the month in Qatar. ____36____
Where is it being held?
This year’s host is Qatar, which in 2010 beat the United States and Japan to win the right to hold the tournament. Whether that was an honest competition remains in dispute. ____37____ The World Cup has never been held on the Arabian Peninsula before.
When is it?
The tournament will open on Nov.20, when Qatar plays Ecuador. That counts as a slow day; over the two weeks that follow, four games will be played on most days. ____38____ when the winner gets a very heavy (and surprisingly small) gold trophy.
____39____

【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章解答了一些关于卡塔尔世界杯的问题。
【36题详解】
上文“there are still plenty of questions about how things will unfold as soccer moves center stage over the month in Qatar(随着足球在卡塔尔这个月成为焦点,事情将如何发展仍有很多问题)”提到还有很多问题,结合下文对几个问题进行解释推知,空处指出有可以提供帮助的东西。故B项“这里有入门指南”承上启下,符合题意。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Whether that was an honest competition remains in dispute.(这是否是一场诚实的竞争仍存在争议)”及下文“The World Cup has never been held on the Arabian Peninsula before.(世界杯从未在阿拉伯半岛举行过)”可知,卡塔尔赢得世界杯的举办权存在争议,世界杯从未在阿拉伯半岛举行过,所以这应是很不寻常,A项“这很不寻常”符合语境。故选A。
【38题详解】
根据本段小标题“When is it?(什么时候?)”可知,本段主要讲述卡塔尔世界杯的时间,上文“The tournament will open on Nov.20, when Qatar plays Ecuador.(世界杯将于11月20日开幕,届时卡塔尔将对阵厄瓜多尔)”讲述了世界杯的开始时间,此处应是讲述结束的时间,F项“决赛将于12月18日举行”符合语境。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据“No. The World Cup usually takes place in July or it did, until Qatar won the right to host it.(不。世界杯通常在7月举行,或者说确实在7月举行,直到卡塔尔赢得举办权)”可知,空处应是一个一般疑问句,且是谈论世界杯的季节,E项“冬季举行世界杯正常吗?”符合语境。故选E。
【40题详解】
根据空后“At 4,416 square miles, it is 0.12 percent of the size of the United States and by far the smallest nation ever to host the World Cup.(它的面积是4416平方英里,只有美国面积的0.12%,是迄今为止举办世界杯的最小国家)”可知,卡塔尔是个小国家,C项“的确,卡塔尔非常小”符合语境。故选C。

So, you are interested in becoming a good journalist but don’t know where to start? Well, there are ____56____ couple of things you should put on your list of priority.

Secondly you must have a natural curiosity ____59____ things that are happening, even though they may appear to be minor matters. When something newsworthy comes about, it may escape the attention of ordinary people ____60____, good journalists are sensitive enough to notice the event and draw public attention to it.
Finally, good journalists ____61____ (commit) to revealing the truth. According to Noam Chomsky, “The duty of journalists is to tell the truth. Journalism means you go back to the actual ____62____ (fact), you look at the documents, you discover ____63____ the record is, and you report it that way.” To do this, journalists need to investigate an event thoroughly.
____64____ (sum) up, being a good journalist requires writing skills, curiosity and commitment to finding the ____65____ (true). Good luck!

58. clearly
59. about 60. however
61. are committed
62. facts 63. what
64. To sum 65. truth
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了成为一名优秀的记者所需要具备的一些条件。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:好吧,有几件事你应该放在你的优先事项清单上。a couple of是固定短语,意为“一些,几个”,故填a。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一个复杂的故事所涉及的信息可能来自几十个来源。句中谓语是may come,空格处是非谓语动词,information和involve之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填involved。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:优秀的记者需要清楚地组织所有这些信息,以准确地描述正在发生的事情。空格处用副词修饰动词organize,clear的副词是clearly,意为“清楚地”,故填clearly。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:其次,你必须对正在发生的事情有一种天生的好奇心,即使它们看起来是小事。have a curiosity about sth.是固定短语,意为“对某事有好奇心”,因此空格处是介词about。故填about。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:当有新闻价值的事情发生时,它可能逃避了普通人的注意,然而,优秀的记者足够敏感,能够注意到事件并引起公众的注意。由上文“it may escape the attention of ordinary people”和下文“good journalists are sensitive enough to notice the event and draw public attention to it”可知,上下文之间是转折关系,空格处用表转折的however,故填however。
【61题详解】
考查固定短语,时态和主谓一致。句意:最后,优秀的记者致力于揭露真相。be committed to是固定短语,意为“致力于”,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语journalists是复数,因此空格处用are committed。故填are committed。
【62题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:新闻意味着你要回到事实,你要看文件,你要发现记录是什么,然后你就这样报道。fact是可数名词,不止一个事实,因此空格处用复数,故填facts。
【63题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:新闻意味着你要回到事实,你要看文件,你要发现记录是什么,然后你就这样报道。空格处引导的是宾语从句,从句中缺少表语,句子表示“新闻意味着你要回到事实,你要看文件,你要发现记录是什么”,因此空格处用what引导宾语从句,故填what。
【64题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:总之,成为一名优秀的记者需要写作技巧,好奇心和寻找真相的决心。to sum up是固定短语,意为“总之”,位于句首的单词首字母要大写,故填To sum。
65题详解】
考查名词。句意:总之,成为一名优秀的记者需要写作技巧,好奇心和寻找真相的决心。空格处用名词作宾语,true的名词是truth,是不可数名词,意为“真相”,故填truth。

Anybody passing by the school’s football grounds wouldn’t miss noticing Jake Harvey and his teammates talking about soccer. They always made sure they only selected skilled players to join their team. One day, Jake was talking with his friends about choosing a new goalkeeper as the previous one had moved to another city with his parents. At that moment, a newcomer in their class Sam Thompson, walked over with a big smile on his face, saying he was ready to play. Jake’s team paused and turned in disbelief, staring at the boy’s artificial leg.
“We only need the best of the best... you get what I mean?” Jake said.
Sam’s smile faded away (逐渐消失) while his eyes filled with tears, but he didn’t want his tears to weaken him in front of the boys. “It’s your team, and you know who fits... I respect your decision.” Sam turned around and left, wiping away his tears.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jones, the school, s physical trainer, saw what happened from his office window.
After the practice session, he walked over to Jake and took him aside. “Well, I saw what happened, and if I’m not wrong, you sent away that newcomer, right?” Mr. Jones asked Jake. “Do you have any idea who he is?” Jake was shocked as Mr. Jones revealed Sam’s background.
As it turned out, Sam was captain of the soccer team in his previous school. He was also an excellent goalkeeper who had won several gold medals for his team. Unfortunately, one day, Sam’s family met with a car accident on their way home from a vacation. The car was set ablaze (着火), and though Sam got out safely, he realized his little sister was still in the car. He risked his own life and rushed to save her. As a result, his left leg was severely injured and had to be cut off later. Jack was shocked by Sam’s bravery.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Mr. Jones said it was wrong to judge someone’s talents just from their appearance. Hearing this, Jake felt guilty for what he had said to Sam. He told Mr. Jones that he would make up for it. Realizing what he should do next, he immediately gathered his teammates round, telling them something must be done to correct their mistake. Moved by what Sam had done, they soon reached an agreement. When learning their decision, Mr. Jones spoke highly of them and promised he would keep it a secret to give Sam a big surprise.
The next morning, Jake came into the class and made an announcement. He walked over to the front with a big smile. “Meet our new goalkeeper, Sam Thompson!” Jake announced. The class cheered loudly when hearing the news. Jake came up to Sam and said, “Welcome, you’re our new goalkeeper!” Sam could hardly believe his ears and he just cried and laughed, saying “Thank you, Jake.” Jake hugged the boy while the team gathered in front of the class for a group hug. Meanwhile, Mr. Jones watched the class from outside and was happy for Sam.

【答案】18. C 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】I’ve been sharing flats in the past four years. I had to admit my first experience was a disaster. My first roommate seemed really nice, but I changed my mind about her a few days after I moved in. One day I came home and threw my books and jacket onto the sofa. She shouted at me, “I hope you’re not going to leave those there!” It was then that I realized we could never get along, as I’m definitely not the world’s tidiest person. So I moved out soon. Then I shared a big house with three other foreign girls. It was great because the house was always full of young people and we had lots of parties. But it was almost impossible to do any work because the house was so noisy. The biggest arguments we had were always the day when the electricity bill arrived!
After a year the foreign girls went home, and I decided to share a flat with a good friend. We’ve been getting on really well. It’s great to have someone else help pay the rent and share dinner with you when you’re too exhausted to cook. And best of all, when you have a bad day you know there’s always someone to talk to.

Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and into the bright sunshine. Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying palm trees, they couldn’t wait to start their holiday.
A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat. “Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly. “Certainly, sir,” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar-in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can’t be.”
Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor. "Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers. “So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver!”
Derek and Shirley held each other’s hands more tightly. “Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent. I’m equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”
Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes. “And another thing,” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate in computer technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore, you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go wrong… could possibly go wrong… go wrong… go wrong…”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是Derek和Shirley到达旅游目的地,从机场大楼出来后乘坐的出租车是机器人司机,通过描述他们之间的对话,文章介绍了机器人司机的一些优点。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar-in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can’t be.(对不起,呃,你的脸看起来很面熟——事实上,你让我们想起了那个著名的电影明星Rocky Overton……当然,你不可能是。)”可知,Derek和Shirley钻进出租车时感到困惑是因为司机看起来像一个著名的演员。故选C。

C
A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life; needed, at least one time, to become more fully adult. But no question, the experience can be painful, even destructive.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy(同理心) and the desire to connect with others — both roads through the prison of heartache and despair.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.
A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy, compassion(同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from the prison with yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” enhanced their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously embraced their awareness of the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show embracing your sad situation emotionally — accepting reality as it is — activates healing and growth beyond it. In short, acknowledging your full experience arouses hope — another seeming paradox. For example, research from Cornell University, described here and published in Psychological Science, found that embracing discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, create motivation to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
28. Which is NOT the benefit of listening to sad music?
A. Making you full of sadness.
B. Activating your feelings of empathy.
C. Healing your broken heart.
D. Giving you a desire to connect with others
29. How does the author mainly develop this passage?
A. By giving examples.
B. By telling experiences.
C. By presenting research findings.
D. By quoting a famous saying.
30. Who are most likely to be helped by the “beautiful but sad” music?
A. People who have a broken heart.
B. People who are suffering great pain.
C. People who accept their sadness.
D. People who like beautiful music.
31. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Listening to Music Brightening Your Life
B. Listening to Sad Music Healing Your Broken Heart
C. The Power and Beauty of Sad Music
D. A Study on Listening to Sad Music
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明悲伤的音乐可以振奋精神,帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望,激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.(悲伤的音乐可以帮助你从破碎的心灵中治愈和振作起来)”及第四段中“A recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy, compassion (同情), and a desire for positive connection with others.(德国最近的一项研究发现,听悲伤的音乐对情绪的影响是激发同理心、同情心,以及与他人建立积极联系的愿望)”可知,悲伤的音乐可以激发同理心、治愈受伤的心灵且让人渴望与他人联系,A项“让你充满悲伤”不是其好处。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache.(但研究表明,心痛是有途径的)”、第四段中“A recent study from Germany found...(德国最近的一项研究发现……)”、第五段中“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that…(肯特大学的另一项实验发现……)”以及最后一段中“These findings link with other studies that show embracing your sad situation emotionally—accepting reality as it is—activates healing and growth beyond it.(这些发现与其他研究相联系,其他研究表明,情感上接受你的悲伤处境——接受现实——可以激活治愈和成长)”可知,本文是通过呈现研究结果来展开的。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In fact, it did so when the person first consciously embraced their awareness of the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.(事实上,当一个人第一次有意识地面对导致自己悲伤处境,然后开始听悲伤的音乐时,就会这样。也就是说,当他们想着听悲伤的音乐或许有帮助时,他们发现确实有帮助)”可知,当一个人有意识地去面对自己的悲伤,打算靠悲伤的音乐疗伤时,他们发现确实可以被治愈,所以“美丽但悲伤”的音乐可能最有可能帮助那些接受自己的悲伤的人。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第三段“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.(悲伤的音乐可以帮助你从破碎的心灵中治愈和振作起来)”可知,本文主要讲述了研究表明,悲伤的音乐可以治愈受伤的心。故选B。
D
Yang Le Ge Yang, which roughly translates to “Sheep A Sheep” is a new game available on WeChat’s mini program and has gained national popularity in the past few
This sheep-based passthrough mini-game was developed by a Chinese start-up, Beijing Jianyou Technology, which boasts that “no more than 0.1% of players can get through all levels” in the game’s introduction, with the second level being the most difficult to pass, according to eager players who have already taken the challenge. This has aroused the desire to win among many other young users, resulting in this Internet fever.
The game allows those who turn into a sheep to change their skin covers after a successful match, and its comic-like art design coupled with earworm background music has become another appeal to China’s Gen Z users.
The game creates a strong sense of belonging by categorizing players based on the provinces they are from, motivate individuals to win and bring honor to their regions. In addition, game tools are another traffic driver as users are encouraged to share the game on social media in exchange for desired tools to aid their play, which has furthered its digital reach.
Although the game is free to play, game equipment plays a crucial role in bringing profit for the developer through its close ties to advertising. Users also have to watch in-app advertisements to win more powerful tools to get rid of obstacles in the matching process.
“The popularity of Sheep A Sheep indicates a consumer appetite for Hard Fun, (difficult to win) style content in China,” said Liao Xuhua, cultural consumption analyst at the industry research institute Analysis.
However, concerns have also arisen around the sustainability of this hyped(炒作的) game, due mainly to its low bar entry and low development cost. This allows copycats to soon follow, which has been proven by many similar mini-games.
32. What do we know about the users of the game Sheep A Sheep?
A. They are unlikely to get through all levels.
B. They can change their skin covers at any time.
C. They are deeply attracted by the background music.
D. They will design their own comic-like art in the game.
33. How does the developer of the game make profit according to the article?
A. By charging the users for playing the game.
B. By adding advertisements to the game.
C. By selling more powerful tools to the users.
D. By calling for more people to participate in the game.
34. What conclusion can we draw from the last but one paragraph?
A. Sheep A Sheep spoils the appetite of consumers.
B. The harder the game, the more fun it is.
C. The desire to win results in the popularity of the game.
D. Consumers become addicted to the game due to its style.
35. Which word can best describe the future of the game?
A. Promising. B. Definite. C. Hopeless. D. Uncertain.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了爆火的微信小游戏“羊了个羊”。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“This sheep-based passthrough mini -game was developed by a Chinese start-up, Beijing Jianyou Technology, which boasts that ‘no more than 0.1% of players can get through all levels’ in the game’s introduction, with the second level being the most difficult to pass, according to eager players who have already taken the challenge.(这款以绵羊为基础的穿越小游戏是由中国初创企业北京建友科技开发的,据已经接受挑战的热切玩家称,该公司在游戏介绍中吹嘘说‘通过所有关卡的玩家不超过0.1%’,其中第二级最难通过)”可知,游戏用户不可能通过所有关卡。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Although the game is free to play, game equipment plays a crucial role in bringing profit for the developer through its close ties to advertising.(虽然这款游戏是免费的,但游戏设备通过与广告的密切联系,在为开发商带来利润方面发挥着至关重要的作用)”可知,游戏开发商通过加入广告来获取利润。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“‘The popularity of Sheep A Sheep indicates a consumer appetite for Hard Fun, (difficult to win) style content in China,’ said Liao Xuhua, cultural consumption analyst at the industry research institute Analysis.(行业研究机构易观国际的文化消费分析师廖旭华表示:‘羊了个羊的流行表明,中国消费者对Hard Fun(难赢)风格的内容有兴趣。’)”可知,“羊了个羊”需要用户花费大量时间、经历和金钱等去完善技能,从中获得挑战的乐趣,由此可推知,对赢的渴望导致了这款游戏的流行,故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, concerns have also arisen around the sustainability of this hyped(炒作的) game, due mainly to its low bar entry and low development cost.(然而,这款被大肆炒作的游戏的可持续性也引起了人们的担忧,主要原因是它的门槛较低,开发成本较低)”可知,这款游戏门槛低,开发成本低,其未来如何尚不确定。故选D。

How the 2022 World Cup Works
The World Cup is nearly here. The schedule is complete. The leagues have stopped. The players have arrived. Yet even as the teams know where they are meant to be and who they are meant to play, there are still plenty of questions about how things will unfold as soccer moves center stage over the month in Qatar. ____36____
Where is it being held?
This year’s host is Qatar, which in 2010 beat the United States and Japan to win the right to hold the tournament. Whether that was an honest competition remains in dispute. ____37____ The World Cup has never been held on the Arabian Peninsula before.
When is it?
The tournament will open on Nov.20, when Qatar plays Ecuador. That counts as a slow day; over the two weeks that follow, four games will be played on most days. ____38____ when the winner gets a very heavy (and surprisingly small) gold trophy.
____39____
No. The World Cup usually takes place in July or it did, until Qatar won the right to host it. Considering the fact that its temperatures can reach 120 degrees (48.8℃), FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, agreed to move the tournament to the relatively bearable months of November and December.
Qatar is so small. How can it accommodate all these matches?
____40____ At 4,416 square miles, it is 0.12 percent of the size of the United States and by far the smallest nation ever to host the World Cup. All the games will take place in a tight circle of eight stadiums in and around the capital, Doha, making it the smallest-sized World Cup in history.
A. That is unusual.
B. Here’s a primer (入门指南).
C. It is true that Qatar is tiny.
D. Why is it being held in winter?
E. Is a winter World Cup normal?
F. The tournament ends with the final on Dec.18,
G. It can accommodate 31 teams and an audience of 60,000.

上文“there are still plenty of questions about how things will unfold as soccer moves center stage over the month in Qatar(随着足球在卡塔尔这个月成为焦点,事情将如何发展仍有很多问题)”提到还有很多问题,结合下文对几个问题进行解释推知,空处指出有可以提供帮助的东西。故B项“这里有入门指南”承上启下,符合题意。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Whether that was an honest competition remains in dispute.(这是否是一场诚实的竞争仍存在争议)”及下文“The World Cup has never been held on the Arabian Peninsula before.(世界杯从未在阿拉伯半岛举行过)”可知,卡塔尔赢得世界杯的举办权存在争议,世界杯从未在阿拉伯半岛举行过,所以这应是很不寻常,A项“这很不寻常”符合语境。故选A。
【38题详解】
根据本段小标题“When is it?(什么时候?)”可知,本段主要讲述卡塔尔世界杯的时间,上文“The tournament will open on Nov.20, when Qatar plays Ecuador.(世界杯将于11月20日开幕,届时卡塔尔将对阵厄瓜多尔)”讲述了世界杯的开始时间,此处应是讲述结束的时间,F项“决赛将于12月18日举行”符合语境。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据“No. The World Cup usually takes place in July or it did, until Qatar won the right to host it.(不。世界杯通常在7月举行,或者说确实在7月举行,直到卡塔尔赢得举办权)”可知,空处应是一个一般疑问句,且是谈论世界杯的季节,E项“冬季举行世界杯正常吗?”符合语境。故选E。
【40题详解】
根据空后“At 4,416 square miles, it is 0.12 percent of the size of the United States and by far the smallest nation ever to host the World Cup.(它的面积是4416平方英里,只有美国面积的0.12%,是迄今为止举办世界杯的最小国家)”可知,卡塔尔是个小国家,C项“的确,卡塔尔非常小”符合语境。故选C。

考查冠词。句意:好吧,有几件事你应该放在你的优先事项清单上。a couple of是固定短语,意为“一些,几个”,故填a。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一个复杂的故事所涉及的信息可能来自几十个来源。句中谓语是may come,空格处是非谓语动词,information和involve之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填involved。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:优秀的记者需要清楚地组织所有这些信息,以准确地描述正在发生的事情。空格处用副词修饰动词organize,clear的副词是clearly,意为“清楚地”,故填clearly。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:其次,你必须对正在发生的事情有一种天生的好奇心,即使它们看起来是小事。have a curiosity about sth.是固定短语,意为“对某事有好奇心”,因此空格处是介词about。故填about。

【62题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:新闻意味着你要回到事实,你要看文件,你要发现记录是什么,然后你就这样报道。fact是可数名词,不止一个事实,因此空格处用复数,故填facts。
【63题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:新闻意味着你要回到事实,你要看文件,你要发现记录是什么,然后你就这样报道。空格处引导的是宾语从句,从句中缺少表语,句子表示“新闻意味着你要回到事实,你要看文件,你要发现记录是什么”,因此空格处用what引导宾语从句,故填what。

Anybody passing by the school’s football grounds wouldn’t miss noticing Jake Harvey and his teammates talking about soccer. They always made sure they only selected skilled players to join their team. One day, Jake was talking with his friends about choosing a new goalkeeper as the previous one had moved to another city with his parents. At that moment, a newcomer in their class Sam Thompson, walked over with a big smile on his face, saying he was ready to play. Jake’s team paused and turned in disbelief, staring at the boy’s artificial leg.
“We only need the best of the best... you get what I mean?” Jake said.
Sam’s smile faded away (逐渐消失) while his eyes filled with tears, but he didn’t want his tears to weaken him in front of the boys. “It’s your team, and you know who fits... I respect your decision.” Sam turned around and left, wiping away his tears.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jones, the school, s physical trainer, saw what happened from his office window.
After the practice session, he walked over to Jake and took him aside. “Well, I saw what happened, and if I’m not wrong, you sent away that newcomer, right?” Mr. Jones asked Jake. “Do you have any idea who he is?” Jake was shocked as Mr. Jones revealed Sam’s background.
As it turned out, Sam was captain of the soccer team in his previous school. He was also an excellent goalkeeper who had won several gold medals for his team. Unfortunately, one day, Sam’s family met with a car accident on their way home from a vacation. The car was set ablaze (着火), and though Sam got out safely, he realized his little sister was still in the car. He risked his own life and rushed to save her. As a result, his left leg was severely injured and had to be cut off later. Jack was shocked by Sam’s bravery.
