Ancient Chinese paintings are always in a vivid state for the world to appreciate, interpret and pass on. Each signature has the echo of history and the breathing of time.
When a scroll （卷轴） is opened, the art of painting is transformed into a living story, and the hidden history wakes up from the painting. The Night Revels of Han Xizai is described as the earliest human “movie” with the last emperor of Southern Tang as the “producer”, the painter Gu Hongzhong as the “cameraman", and Han Xizai as the
“leading actor”. It is said that Han Xizai understood the suspicion of the emperor and the intention of the painter＇s visit, so he staged a banquet （宴会） with songs, dances and drinks to protect himself. Future generations would be able to feel the undeclared battles and historical suspicions of the ruler and ministers of that era through this painting.
Then there is The Emperor Taizong Receiving the Tibetan Envoy, which gives you the opportunity to step into Zhenguan Period and watch the scene of Li Shimin, Emperor Tang Taizong, receiving Lu Dongzan in the palace.
The paintings are used as brushes to record history and have been passed down for thousands of years. They are ancient paintings, as well as historical documents that can be read at any time. Each one of them is a parallel universe, allowing us to have a glimpse of those historical ups and downs.
People of later generations want to use advanced technology and innovative ideas to make history and its stories come alive. Thus, at the 2022 Spring Festival gala, Only This Green, based on the painting A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, became a hit. We realize that pictures can not only be vivid on paper, but also can be alive in 3D.
Ancient paintings have been appreciated for over a thousand years, and the beauty of China is more than landscapes. You can enjoy China in ancient paintings with a magnifying （放大） glass. Let＇s enjoy the whispering of ancient paintings and the sweetness of traditional culture in ancient scrolls.
24. Why is The Night Revels of Han Xizai mentioned?
A. To demonstrate a painting involves a true story.
B. To tell us the painting is the earliest movie in history.
C. To reveal the reason why Han Xizai held a banquet.
D. To show the relationship between rulers and ministers.
25. What does The Emperor Taizong Receiving the Tibetan Envoy describe?
A. A palace party.
B. A festival celebration.
C. A political event.
D. A scene in daily life.
26. Why did “Only This Green" become a big hit?
A. It was based on an ancient Chinese painting.
B. It was a combination of technology and trend.
C. It was shown at the 2022 Spring Festival gala.
D. It made what is in the painting come to life.
27. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. A practical tool is a must when appreciating ancient paintings.
B. Ancient paintings are not well preserved due to too long a time.
C. The landscapes in ancient paintings prove to be from China.
D. A lot about Chinese culture can be learnt from ancient paintings.
C
It is certainly true that pure fear doesn't feel good, but that is the whole meaning of the emotion. Fear evolved over millions of years to protect us from danger. So, yes, fear is a feel-bad emotion, but also the engine in a whole range of pleasurable activities and behaviors, which inspire what we can call recreational fear.
Recreational fear can be found everywhere. From a very early age, humans love being jump scared by caregivers. They get older and take great pleasure in chase-play and hide-and-seek. They are drawn to scary stories about monsters, witches and ghosts. As they grow a little older, they get together for horror movie nights, stand patiently in line for roller coasters, and play horror video games. Indeed, most of us never quite lose our peculiar attraction to recreational fear.
It is believed that recreational fear is a form of play behavior, widespread in the animal kingdom and humans. When an organism plays, it learns important skills and develops strategies for survival. Playfighting cats train their ability to defend themselves in an unfriendly encounter, but with little risk and low cost, compared to the real thing. It's the same with humans. When we engage in recreational fear activities specifically, we play with fear, challenge our limits, and learn about our own physiological and psychological responses to stress.
Any other benefits? In the studies of engagement with recreational fear, we've seen it improve people's ability to cope with stress and anxiety. For instance, it was found that people who watch many horror movies exhibited better psychological resilience（承受力） during the first COVID-19 lockdown than people who stay away from scary movies.
With these in mind, we should maybe think twice about protecting kids and young people too zealously（热衷地）from playful forms of fear. They＇ll end up in the real world sooner or later, and they will be better equipped if they've at least pretended to be there before.
28. Which of the following belongs to recreational fear?
A. Watching a parade.
B. Having a scary dream.
C. Riding a pirate ship.
D. Falling into the river.
29. How does recreational fear benefit us?
A. By leading us to true happiness.
B. By improving our survival skills.
C. By ridding us of trouble in real life.
D. By helping us build up confidence.
30. Why is the example mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To imply COVID-19 is like a scene in horror movies.
B. To prove lockdown is an effective measure to stop COVID-19.
C. To show recreational fear can make us mentally strong.
D. To recommend us a proper way to reduce stress and anxiety.
31. What is the author's attitude towards recreational fear?
A. Positive.
B. Critical.
C. Worried.
D. Skeptical.
D
A quarter of the world's population eat peppers every day, notes Joshua Tewksbury. He is a biologist who spent 10 years studying peppers.
Peppers do much more than burn people's mouths. Scientists have discovered many uses for the thing. Called capsaicin（辣椒素）, it＇s the main ingredient in pepper spray. Some people use this weapon for self-defense. In smaller quantities, capsaicin can relieve pain, help with weight loss and possibly affect microbes（微生物）in the gut（肠道）to keep people healthier. Now how cool is that?
Capsaicin triggers a rush of stress hormones. These will make the skin redden and sweat. It can also make someone feel energized. Some people enjoy this feeling. But there is another reason why peppers show up on dinner plates around the world. When food sits out in warm weather, microbes on the food start to multiply. If people eat food with too many of these germs, they risk getting very sick. The cold temperature inside a refrigerator stops most microbes from growing. That's why most people today rely on refrigerators to keep their food fresh. But long ago, those appliances weren't available. Peppers were. Their capsaicin and other chemicals, it turns out, can slow or stop microbial growth. Before refrigerators, people living in most hot parts of the world developed a taste for spicy foods.
Peppers also may help people lose weight. However, a person can't simply eat hot, spicy food and expect to lose pounds. “It's not a magic remedy, ” warns Baskaran Thyagarajan. As a pharmacologist, he studies the effects of medicines. His team is now working to create a drug to make the body burn through fat more quickly than usual. A primary ingredient: Capsaicin. In a 2015 study, his group showed that mice that ate a high-fat diet containing capsaicin did not gain extra weight. But a group of mice that ate only the high-fat diet became obese.
As scientists continue to uncover the secret powers of peppers, people will keep spicing up their soups, stews, stir-fries and other favorite dishes. Next time you see a pepper on a plate, take a deep breath, and then take a bite.
32. What can peppers be used to do according to Paragraph 2?
A. Keep people's mouths clean.
B. Defend a country from invasion.
C. Make people feel less painful.
D. Prevent people from getting sick.
33. Before refrigerators, how did people eat safer?
A. Placing food in the open air.
B. Only eating fresh food.
C. Storing food in other appliances.
D. Adding peppers to food.
34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4?
A. Healthy.
B. Bad-tempered.
C. Skinny.
D. Overweight.
35. Which can be the suitable title for the text?
A. The Cool Science of Hot Peppers
B. A Great Way To Preserve Food
C. Magical Peppers To Lose Weight
D. A Hot Trend of Enjoying Peppers

Being productive is not working every day 15 hours without any break. 36 If you can become more productive, you will be able to save the most valuable things you have: your time! Here are some tips that I usually use to improve my productivity level.

38 Personally, I like working on different things during my day. Working in a field should not be an excuse to just work in that specific field. There are so many fields to discover on this earth. For example, I work in computer science. If I'm only doing programming during my day, I get bored. So I write articles about things that I like. 39
Moreover, don't force yourself to do something if you have spent more than 30 minutes trying to start it. It's okay to postpone, you will do it another time. You just have to be conscious of the reason why you postponed it. If you are feeling overwhelmed, it's a good way to do something to relax you. 40 Then go back to what you have postponed and you could be more productive.
A. That's the same idea with your desktop.
B. They could be about computer but not necessarily.
C. Diversifying your fields is another action you can take.
D. You can't be fully productive if you don't have energy.
E. It is just being able to spend less time by being efficient.
F. Clean your desk and sort out your folders on your desktop.
G. Just take a nap, do sport or do whatever makes you feel good.

Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in celebration of Labor Day, the family would do some labour work. Kayla couldn't believe it. This was a holiday! A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let's get a move on, ” said Kayla's mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today? Isn't Labor Day a holiday?”
“Yes, Kayla. It is, ” replied her dad. “But we thought working hard today would make you understand why Labor Day was observed initially. " Though feeling disappointed and even a little annoyed, Kayla had no choice.

From the chart, we can see how often the students in our school skip their meals. What delights us is that 50％ of the students surveyed only skip meals once a week and 37％ never. But 8％ skip meals several times a week. The remaining 5％ give no definite answer.
What contributes to the result? Nowadays most students are aware of the importance of health, so they seldom or never skip meals. However, facing heavy study load, some students skip meals to save some time for study. Undoubtedly, there are a few students doing so to lose weight.
Personally, we shouldn＇t skip meals. After all, health is a guarantee to make life better.

Paragraph 1:
She was assigned to tidy and clean her own room. Seeing the clothes and school supplies scattered here and there, she murmured, “How come my room is so messy?” She picked up the clothes and hung them in the cupboard as mom usually does. Then she began to sort out her school supplies. The last step was wiping the desk and mopping the floor. Before she realized it, two hours had passed and she sweated heavily. Surprisingly, now, Kayla didn't feel any unhappy. Rather, she felt a sense of achievement and delight.
Paragraph 2:
Somehow, Kayla wanted to do more work. Just then, she noticed the pet dog's white fur was a little blackened. Why not give him a bath? Kayla carefully placed the dog into warm water, applied some shampoo onto him, and gently washed. The little creature grunted happily and even kissed Kayla on the cheek. Dad gave her a thumbs-up, asking “Do you enjoy the holiday?” Kayla laughed, “I've understood why Labor Day was observed initially. " She realized holidays were not necessarily for fun and that doing some work could also bring pleasure.

And I have to sit for hours in the afternoon. I even don't want to walk my dog in the neighborhood after a long tiring day, let alone exercise at a gym.
M: Jennifer, it can be challenging to ft physical activity into your busy workday, but it doesn't mean you can't move for a little at times. You should get up from your chair and move around at least once an hour.
W:You're right. So do you have any other tips? M: Well, you can stand when you are talking on the phone, take the stairs instead of the elevator, ⑫ use your break or part of your lunch hour to walk around the building, and walk to a colleague's office instead of sending an email.
W:Do you often do those things?
M: Yes. ⑬ And lucky for me, my boss has bought a treadmill for us. I usually run on it
for about twenty minutes every day. Most of my colleagues love using it.
W:That's really great!

W: Roger, I just watched some news about a pilot in Australia.
M:Is there anything interesting about the pilot?
W:Yeah. The pilot fell asleep flying from Cairns to Redcliffe in Queensland. When air traffic controllers on the ground tried to contact him, they got no response.
M:They must have been concerned.
W: Certainly. ⑭They believed the pilot might have fallen asleep, and asked other nearby planes to help. The pilots of other planes tried to wake the pilot up, but they couldn't do it.
M: I hope nothing bad happened.
W:40 minutes later, the pilot woke up. He had traveled 69 miles past te place where he was supposed to land. ⑮Luckily, he landed safely at a nearby airport.
M:That's unbelievable! So how could the pilot fall asleep?
W: He hadn't been sleeping well and was exhausted. ⑯ Also, the plane had climbed higher than expected because of icy conditions, so the air held less oxygen than normal. That made the pilot even sleepier.
M: It seems having a good night's sleep is very important.
W:⑰ You said it, Roger, and that's what I want you to know. It's almost eleven o'clock, but you're still burning the midnight oil to play on the cellphone.
M: Oh, I'm dealing with some work.

W:Good evening, everyone! I'd like to tell you an organization called Love for the Elderly. The elderly have paved the pathway of success for my generation. They deserve to be shown appreciation and kindness but are often neglected. The idea of appreciating the elderly kept inside my head. Finally, I decided it was time to step up and make a difference.
⑱My passion for writing led me to create an organization where people from all across the globe send letters filled with kindness and joy. I then send these letters to senior centers, nursing homes, and retirement communities across the country. To this date, I have collected over 1, 000 letters, and the response I have received has been truly unbelievable.
This past month, I had the opportunity to receive $100 from KindSpring through their monthly kindness contest to help my organization. This money has been of great help. ⑲9We do not receive much funding, so it helped to pay for many costs, including postage and envelopes. This gesture of kindness has been very beneficial to my organization, and I could not be more appreciative.
⑳Last but not least, if any of you would like to get involved in my organization, please visit lovefortheelderly. org. com.

第三部分 语言运用（共两节, 满分30分）
第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分）
本文为记叙文。作者讲述了自己83岁的父亲成为作者儿子学校摔跤队助理教练的故事。
41. A考查名词。“我省略了他的年纪”, 即作者没有告诉教练爸爸的年纪。42空所在的句子是对该题的提示。
42. C 考查名词。作者的爸爸是作者儿子的外祖父。43. D 考查形容词。从后一句可以看出作者此刻的心情是紧张的。
44. B 考查动词。make the team“加入摔跤队”, 47空前有原词复现。
45. C 考查形容词。句意为：我还指出, 他的助听器已经五年没用过了。此句中的sit意思为“处于（某状况）”。下句为该答案的提示。
46. B 考查动词。句意为：第一次训练时, 爸爸见到并告诉教练, 他愿意做任何需要他做的事, 甚至擦垫子。擦垫子是清理训练场地的一项工作, 其他词都与该语境不符。
47. A 考查动词。句意为：天啊, 我真希望能听见教练所说的话啊！上文提到爸爸不喜欢戴助听器, 已经被闲置五年了, 因此, 在第一次作为助理教练参与训练中, 他听不到教练所说的话。下文提到有一天他忘带助听器了, 特意返回家里去取。所以可以判断出, 此处表示爸爸希望能听到教练的话, 也正因为这个原因, 从今以后他每次去参加训练都会带着助听器。
48. D 考查副词。句意为：有一天, 我送他和儿子去训练, 当我正要让他俩下车时, 他发现自己忘了带助听器。所以我们返回家去取。drop out:辍学、中途退出；drop back:退后；drop in:顺便拜访；drop off:让. . . . . . . 下车。

51. D 考查名词。句意为：现在摔跤的动作和得分系统与我在大学时代有很大的不同。因此, 我要重新学习和了解这方面的知识。文章第一段中提到爸爸在大学时学过摔跤。52. B 考查形容词。由该句中的 and 可知, 所选词与kind同向。由后面的句子可知, 其中一个摔跤手每次训练完都会走向他, 对他表示感谢。因此, 选择polite。
53. A考查名词。下文提到, 由于新冠疫情作者不被允许到训练场地, 因此可以推断在训练场地的人只可能有教练及参加训练的摔跤手, 因此C、D排除。从上文看, 训练中只有一个教练, 因此也不能是B项。
54. C 考查名词。句意为：由于新冠疫情作者不被允许到训练场观看儿子的训练。上文多次提到。
55. A 考查动词。句意为：我依靠爸爸详细地告诉我摔跤室里所发生的事情。
