And bit by bit, with hard work and cooperation, Rosa and her mom find the perfect chair.1．Whose book is written according to a real story?A．Barbara Cooney. B．Audrey Wood and Don Wood.C．Cori Doerrfeld. D．Vera B．Williams.2．What is special about The Rabbit Listened?A．It’s affordable for readers. B．It’s easy to understand.C．It’s about real friendship. D．It has many pictures.3．What does Rosa save money for?A．New furniture. B．A chair. C．An apartment. D．A restaurant.BThe old shed (棚屋) in Mitchell’s backyard was seen as run­down and depressing, but the self­described DIY enthusiast saw a relaxing pleasure. Unfortunately, as she set about transforming the forgotten shed into a stylish “she shed”， a private vacation home, Mitchell was disappointed that social distancing rules meant she couldn’t invite her friends over. So she decided to share the progress with her 34 followers, mostly close friends on TikTok.Over the next 10 days, Mitchell began to empty the contents of the shed so that it could be cleaned. After that, she gave the shed fresh white paint. Once the paint had dried, she hung fairy lights, filled the space with plants and added a television and refrigerator donated by neighbors. She even built herself a daybed.Happy to be out in the sun, putting her DIY skills to good use and sharing the adventure with her friends, Mitchell could never have predicted what happened next. Known as “she shed girl” ,  Mitchell now has an astonishing 2.7 million followers on TikTok, where she shares DIY tips and snippets (片段) of her life as a freshman at Aquinas College in Michigan, US. Encouraged by the success of her first project, Mitchell turned her attention to the family’s pool house, imagining it was a charming pub shed.Commenting on Mitchell’s impressive shed renovation (翻修), the experts at My Tool Shed DIY said, “Stress levels have risen in the last year due to the effects of the COVID ­19 pandemic. Now people need time to do something they love. Having a dedicated (专门用途的) space like a  ‘she shed’ can be perfect for this.”4．Why did Mitchell transform the shed?A．To drive away boredom. B．To share it with her family.C．To avoid social distancing. D．To change people’s view of it.5．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．What the shed would be used for. B．How Mitchell decorated the shed.C．How Mitchell shared snippets on TikTok. D．What Mitchell did during the pandemic.6．What was unexpected for Mitchell in the third paragraph?A．People’s love for DIY. B．The comments on TikTok.C．The popularity of her video. D．The pool house renovation plan.7．What is the opinion of the experts in the text?A．DIY is a perfect activity for people.B．The pandemic gives people time for their hobbies.C．People should create a space to prevent disturbance.D．People can do something they like to reduce pressure.CPeople who give, live longer, studies have shown. Now, a new study by University of Michigan researchers shows that why people volunteer—not whether they volunteer—is what really counts. For the study, Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3,376 people. Overall, they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died, compared to 4.3 percent of non-volunteers. They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well—only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died, compared with 2.5 percent of occasional volunteers. But what really made a difference were people’s motives for volunteering. The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need, the more likely they were to be alive. Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were more likely to have died, and just as likely to die as those who didn’t volunteer at all. These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact, to escape their own problems, or to explore their own strengths. Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them. “Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizations. Some groups say that it’s okay to want benefits for yourself, and encourage people to think of volunteering as an exchange for personal interests. Some groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering.” Konrath added, “Of course, it’s reasonable for volunteers to expect benefits for themselves. But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person’s main motive”.8．What does the new study mainly find?A．How we volunteer makes sense to others.B．How often we volunteer makes a difference.C．Whether we volunteer decides our well-being.D．Why we volunteer has an impact on our health.9．How did the researchers do the research?A．By doing experiments. B．Through field research.C．By analyzing statistics. D．Through group discussion.10．Which of the following motives will probably contribute to a longer life?A．To develop abilities. B．To help the poor peopleC．To make more friends. D．To solve personal problems.11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Practical suggestions on the further studies.B．A further explanation of the current findings.C．A reasonable doubt about the research results.D．Potential applications of the research methods.DA new and exciting innovation will enable people with hearing loss to see conversations in real time. Using augmented reality(AR)glasses and a smartphone, hearing-impaired (有听力障碍的) people will soon be able to participate and engage in conversations.XRAI glasses were developed by Dan Scarfe after he spent a Christmas dinner with his family. Scarfe saw his 97-year-old hearing-impaired grandfather sitting alone in silence while the rest of the family members were animated in conversation. His light bulb moment came when he remembered his grandfather watching closed-caption TV and realized that AR glasses could be used for subtitles (字幕).Scarfe got to work, partnering with Nreal, an AR glasses manufacturer. Six months later, the team unveiled XRAI glasses. The glasses are connected to a smartphone that receives the audio (音频) from a microphone, processes it, and then uses software technology to transform it into closed captions.The company is now testing the glasses in the UJK and hopes to complete their pilot by the end of this month. The UK was selected as a testing ground as over 13 million adults in Britain have hearing loss. However, when the product goes global, it may transform the lives of some 430 million people. This represents 5 percent of the world’s population and includes 70 million people with total hearing loss.This is a game changer for the deaf and is applauded by hearing loss charity RNID and Deaf Kidz International. Mark Atkinson of the charity wore them, saying, “As a deaf person myself, I was blown away by this technology. When I tried on the glasses, I was astonished that real-time subtitles enabled me to engage and participate as never before."For Scarfe and his startup, this is only the beginning. After the testing, XRAI will work with users’ feedback, hoping to make the product available to the public soon. He also imagines using smart glasses to translate languages, understand accents and voice tones.12．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．How Scarfe helped his grandfather out. B．Scarfe’s grandfather’s hearing problem.C．Scarfe’s special care for his grandfather. D．How Scarfe got the idea for his invention.13．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．The audio. B．A smartphone.C．A microphone. D．Software technology.14．What can be inferred about XRAI glasses?A．They have passed strict testing. B．They have great market potential.C．They have been rejected in the UK. D．They are well accepted worldwide.15．Why does the author mention Mark Atkinson?A．To tell XRAI users’ high expectations. B．To speak highly of the new innovation.C．To doubt the possibility of Scarfe’s plans. D．To show the availability of XRAI glasses.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Every New Year, thousands decide they’re going to change their lives.

Of course, anyone would go and grab something to eat. And then, what determines the ___21___ of food you take in? You may not be right if your answer is the degree of hunger. The conventional concept that ____22____ is the key factor is open to challenge. In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake (摄入) are influenced by a large number of factors besides our ____23____ need for energy. Some of the factors include our eating ____24____ and our perception of the food in front of us.Studies have shown that ____25____ eating, for instance, eating while watching TV, or a similar distraction, can increase both hunger and food consumption. Even simple ____26____ clues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect consumption.A new study suggested that our short-term ____27____ also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people’s hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they’d seen in front of them — ____28____ , how much they remembered eating.This difference suggests that the recall of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our ___29___ than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol.These findings agree with the earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes ______30______  our body’s response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two ______31______ occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones (荷尔蒙), depending on whether the shake’s ______32______  said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling ______33______ when they thought they’d consumed a higher-calories shake.What does this mean to our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to cheat ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benifit of focusing on our food, avoiding TV and multitasking while eating. The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight against ______34______ while we are eating. By ______35______ mindful eating techniques, you have the opportunity to change your current eating habits by becoming more self-aware and in tune to your body’s hunger cues.21．A．quality B．amount C．nutrient D．variety22．A．deliciousness B．hunger C．nutrition D．flavor23．A．occasional B．potential C．external D．biological24．A．environment B．content C．time D．ability25．A．habitual B．purposeful C．unfocused D．absorbed26．A．optional B．visual C．hidden D．flexible27．A．vacancy B．hunger C．supply D．memory28．A．in other words B．as a whole C．by all means D．all in all29．A．motive B．growth C．appetite D．health30．A．advocate B．trick C．justify D．enhance31．A．identical B．alternative C．dependent D．separate32．A．label B．function C．usage D．material33．A．wiser B．healthier C．happier D．fuller34．A．distress B．waste C．distraction D．fullness35．A．employing B．perceiving C．clarifying D．assuming第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。What is culture?

Over the years Chelsea had always struggled, both academically and with self-confidence. Additionally, her mother had died after a heroic battle with a terminal illness when Chelsea was a fifth grader. As she began her sixth grade, Chelsea was still hurting. Ms. Johnson worried about her with good reason. Each fall, Ms. Johnson takes the students for a five-day adventure at Wolf Ridge, an environmental learning center in the woods of Northern Minnesota overlooking Lake Superior. The week is filled with learning, team building, and overcoming seemingly impossible challenges. They go in October, and the turning leaves of trees come to symbolize the changes happening to the students over the week. The steps and growth students make at Wolf Ridge become a metaphor Ms. Johnson uses throughout the year as her students face challenges in the classroom. The most difficult activity is the High Adventure Ropes Course, which stretches from tower to tower high amongest the treetops forty feet above the ground. Ms. Johnson knew this experience would be particularly difficult for Chelsea. When it was time for her to fasten the harness (安全带), Chelsea was already trembling. The harness offers physical protection, but not much mental comfort when nothing but a slippery board or an unsteady wire is between your feet and the ground far below. Chelsea stepped hesitantly onto the Swinging Wood Bridge, and only after the instructor’s encouragement, slowly made her way across its shaky boards up to the first tower. With the support of a chaperone (监护人) stationed there, she began her way across the Burma Bridge, made of merely three wires and straps. Her trembling body added to its shaking. From down below, her ground partners shouted up supportively, “Come on, Chelsea, you’re doing great!” Chelsea finally reached the second tower and eventually stepped out onto the next challenge and slowly inched her way across. 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。Now she faced what for many is the most difficult activity: the Single Wire.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The final challenge is a zip line (滑索), which requires leaping off the last tower and sliding to the ground.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
