January is the month recognized as the time to diet. This year a health expert told me to get serious. I have to take away half of every meal and put a carrot in its place. Every meal? She was serious. “We’re dealing with sick fat. There’s no hip and all I see is a piece of big bread on your dog’s legs.”
However, it wasn’t my mistake. When we go out, people just keep feeding Eric snacks because he looks so cute. He looks at me when I’m eating my fish so I give him some.
He wasn’t always this way. When he came to us after a short but successful time on the show dog circuit, he was, as you would expect a dog like him to be, well within his healthy weight. But then he came to us and got comfortable knowing this was his “forever home”. His appearance no longer mattered.
He ate everything he could get. Whole blocks of cheese and fresh banana cakes before we pushed everything out of his tongue’s reach. We placed schoolbags high up on the wall. Sometimes, Eric managed to open the schoolbags and carry the lunchboxes in his mouth out through the dog door and into the garden where he happily ate my lovingly prepared offerings.
It’s time for Eric to clean up his act. He’s not to be given pigs’ ears or fish from my dish anymore. I’ve asked my husband to bring a “Nil Orally” sign home from the hospital where he works. I’m going to hang it around Eric’s neck to show everybody that he’s on a diet.
4. What did the health expert say about Eric?
A. He was out of shape. B. He had too much bread.
C. He had short and strong legs. D. He needed a couple of pieces of bread.
5. What was Eric like before coming to the author’s home?
A. Inactive. B. Heavy. C. Fit. D. Carefree.
6. What did Eric do with the schoolbags?
A He took them off the kitchen table. B. He played with them in the garden.
C. He hid some food inside them. D. He opened them on his own.
7. What does “Nil Orally” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Clean up. B. Help me.
C. Everything is fine. D. Nothing by mouth.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者的狗Eric身材走形，专家要求Eric节食。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“We’re dealing with sick fat. There’s no hip and all I see is a piece of big bread on your dog’s legs.(我们面对的是病态的脂肪。没有臀部，我只看到狗的腿像一块大面包)”可知，健康专家说Eric身材走样了。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When he came to us after a short but successful time on the show dog circuit, he was, as you would expect a dog like him to be, well within his healthy weight.(当他在短暂但成功的狗狗巡回表演后来到我们这里时，他就像你所期望的那样，在他健康的体重范围内)”可知，Eric在来作者家之前很健康。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Sometimes, Eric managed to open the schoolbags and carry the lunchboxes in his mouth out through the dog door and into the garden where he happily ate my lovingly prepared offerings.(有时，Eric设法打开书包，叼着午餐盒穿过狗门，进入花园，在那里他愉快地吃着我精心准备的食物)”可知，Eric自己打开了书包。故选D。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“I’m going to hang it around Eric’s neck to show everybody that he’s on a diet.(我要把它挂在埃里克的脖子上，让大家知道他在节食)”结合上文提到Eric身材走形，要节食。由此推知，Nil Orally意思是“禁食”。故选D。
C
No doubt there are ups and downs in life. Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life. Life is for a limited time only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally (无条件地).
You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain. In 2016 I suffered a sudden heart attack. My colleagues called an ambulance (救护车) and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest. Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions. Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands.” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe. At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and we must see the bright side and enjoy pain.
You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure. Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success. We all make mistakes in life, but only the courageous (勇敢的) people laugh at their mistakes and then they reach success without any spiritual burden (负担). A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor (有利条件) is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life.
8. What does the author mainly tell us in the first paragraph?
A. Life is full of ups and downs.
B. People’s lives only last a limited period.
C. We should enjoy our life unconditionally.
D. Bad situations can be changed into good ones.
9. Why did the author still feel happy when experiencing much pain?
A. His colleagues were always with him.
B. He could be looked after by his parents.
C. He planned to enjoy the last days in life.
D. His doctor made him realize the value of being alive.
10. The underlined word “morale” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. talent B. confidence
C. pleasure D. inspiration
11. The author thinks that the wisest person ______.
A. never laughs at others B. has strong determination
C. is ready to do others a favor D. is good at learning from mistakes
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。人生短暂，我们要珍惜宝贵的时间，即使在困境中也要无条件地享受生活。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段内容，结合最后一句“Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally (无条件地).(要快乐，无条件地享受你的生活)”可知，作者在第一段里说生活总会有起伏，但人生短暂，我们没必要为不可控制的事情担忧，不要失去生活的乐趣，应该无条件地享受生活。无条件地享受生活是作者在本文提出的论点。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe.(他的话带走了我所有的痛苦，因为我开始意识到没有时间去担心痛苦，而是应该为我的活着而感到高兴)”可知，医生的话使作者意识到，他不应该为疼痛而担忧，而应该为仍然活着而高兴。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“make you more powerful and determined to achieve success(让你更强大，更有决心取得成功)”可知，作者是说庆祝失败可以增加你的“信心”，使你更有力量，更有决心去取得胜利。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor (有利条件) is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life.(一个从错误中学习并知道如何将糟糕的情况转化为有利条件的人是最聪明的人，他/她真正享受他/她的生活)”可知，作者认为善于从错误中学习，懂得将不好的境况转变为自己的优势的人是最聪明的人，也是真正会享受生活的人。故选D。

While the benefits of Zoom and other videoconferencing tools made them absolutely essential in the pandemic (疫情), the research suggests that heavy reliance on the technology comes at a cost to creative thinking.
Brucks at Columbia University and her team started their investigation when managers reported having trouble innovating with remote workers. Brucks doubted whether videoconferencing was a factor, suspecting that difficulties coordinating (协调) large, global teams online might be to blame instead.
To find out, the researchers analysed ideas for new products generated by 1,490 engineers for a multinational company. The engineers, who were in Finland, Hungary, India, Israel and Portugal, were randomly paired up and given an hour or so to brainstorm products either in person or over videoconferencing. They then selected their best idea.
Writing in Nature the researchers report that the engineers produced more ideas, and more innovative ideas, when working face to face. “They are not only generating a larger number of creative ideas, but their best idea is better,” Brucks said. Virtual teams were just as good at selecting the best ideas from a bunch as those that met in person.
“Visual focus is a huge component of cognitive (认知) focus. When you’re focused on the screen and ignoring the rest of the environment, that affects how you approach the task,” said Brucks. “It’s uniquely bad for creativity because it’s inhibiting broader exploration.”
Brucks said the impact on the real world “could be huge”, leading to a division of labour between face-to-face and virtual meetings that could “permanently reshape the office and work schedules”. But she urged businesses to be cautious, because if virtual meetings are cheaper than in-person ones, they may still be more cost-effective.
Asked for tips, Brucks said people could save more creative tasks for in-person meetings, or turn off their camera when coming up with ideas. “I think it unlocks more creative thinking,” she said.
12. Why did Brucks conduct the research?
A. To prove her assumption. B. To clarify a new concept. C. To make a comparison. D. To explain a rule.
13. What is the finding of the research?
A. Face-to-face gatherings promote cross-culture ties. B. Workers think less creatively in virtual meetings.
C. Individual work generates more innovative ideas. D. Videoconferencing has an irreplaceable role.
14. What does the underlined word “inhibiting” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Encouraging. B. Requiring. C. Beginning. D. Preventing.
15. What does Brucks say about virtual meetings?
A. They should be used accordingly. B. They’ll make office workers divided.
C. They’ll give way to in-person meetings. D. They help businesses run more efficiently.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇议论文。文章通过研究者的调查研究，阐述了虽然在疫情期间视频会议起到了至关重要的作用，但是过度依赖会削弱创造性思维的观点。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Brucks doubted whether videoconferencing was a factor, suspecting that difficulties coordinating (协调) large, global teams online might be to blame instead.”（Brucks怀疑视频会议是否是一个因素，他怀疑在线协调大型全球团队的困难反而应负主要责任。）和第三段的“To find out, the researchers analysed ideas for new products generated by 1,490 engineers for a multinational company. ”（为了找到答案，研究人员分析了一家跨国公司1490名工程师提出的新产品创意。）可知，Brucks进行研究是为了证明自己的怀疑和假设。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Writing in Nature, the researchers report that the engineers produced more ideas, and more innovative ideas, when working face to face. ”（研究人员在《自然》杂志上撰文称，当工程师面对面工作时，他们会产生更多的想法，更有创新性的想法。）可知，工程师面对面工作时比虚拟会议中有更多的创新思维。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“When you’re focused on the screen and ignoring the rest of the environment, that affects how you approach the task,”（当你专注于屏幕而忽略环境的其他部分时，这会影响你完成任务的方式，）可知，人们在虚拟会议中，注意力都集中在屏幕上，就会对创新思维产生影响，阻止人们进行更广泛的探索和思考；结合划线词所在句“It’s uniquely bad for creativity because it’s inhibiting broader exploration.”（这对创造力特别不利，因为它抑制了更广泛的探索。），划线词应该指“阻止、抑制”。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Brucks said the impact on the real world “could be huge”, leading to a division of labour between face-to-face and virtual meetings that could “permanently reshape the office and work schedules”.”（Brucks表示，这对现实世界的影响“可能是巨大的”，导致面对面会议和虚拟会议之间的分工，可能“永久性地重塑办公室和工作时间表”。）和“But she urged businesses to be cautious, because if virtual meetings are cheaper than in-person ones, they may still be more cost-effective.”（但她敦促企业保持谨慎，因为如果虚拟会议比面对面会议便宜，它们可能仍然更具成本效益。）可知，Brucks提到了面对面会议和虚拟会议会因为各自的优缺点而造成相应的分工，人们应该根据各自的需求而使用虚拟会议。故选A。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Do you feel like an outsider, like you don’t belong anywhere or that you just don’t fit in? Here are some tips for you to deal with these feelings.
____16____ Often it’s really only your own mind and emotions that tell you that you don’t fit in. Actually, you may fit in fine. Feeling like you don’t belong isn’t always a bad thing either. Remember, it’s the people that are unique in this world that make the biggest impact. You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people. ____17____ They end up wanting to gain approval from others and end up losing themselves in the process.
Let go of past anger. We’re so angry at people that we can’t relate to anyone or only expect the worst from others. Once I figured out how to let go of my past, I became much more comfortable being me. ____18____ Maybe because I didn’t care as much what they thought of me but more likely just because I think people are more affected by the “aura” you give off.
Focus on your wants and desires. Instead of focusing on the problem that you don’t feel like you fit in, try turning it around. What do you want to explore, what goals do you have, or what do you want to learn? ____19____ There are so many incredible and inspiring things in this world to explore. Focus on the positive and the beauty of the world rather than getting caught up in a negative situation.
The key to handling the situation of “I feel like an outsider” is really all in how you react to that feeling. ____20____ As those who have gone through the same feelings show there can definitely be an advantage to being unique. You truly are special and there is no one else quite like you. You just need to be willing to share the real you with the world.
A. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
B. Appreciate what makes you so unique.
C. That’s where a number of people go wrong.
D. Ask yourself these questions and then go and do it.
E. I found it was easier to get along with other people.
F. You have so much more to offer by being true to yourself.
G. You can beat yourself up over it or you can become stronger for it.
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. E 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。有些人总想自己是个局外人，不能融入其中。文章对如何应对这种感觉给出了几条建议。
【16题详解】
根据后文“Often it’s really only your own mind and emotions that tell you that you don’t fit in. Actually, you may fit in fine. Feeling like you don’t belong isn’t always a bad thing either. Remember, it’s the people that are unique in this world that make the biggest impact. You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people.(通常只有你自己的思想和情绪告诉你，你不适合这里。事实上，你可能很适合。感觉自己不属于这里也不总是坏事。记住，在这个世界上，只有独一无二的人才能产生最大的影响。你不想为了迎合某一群人而改变自己)”可知，本段讲述的是经常是你自己的兴智和情感认为自己不合群，实际上你融入的很好。你不用总想着改变自己去融入一组人群中。不能融入其中未必是件坏事。所以你没必要对自己太苛刻。故A选项“别对自己太苛刻了”符合语境，故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people.(你不想改变自己去融入一组人群中)”以及后文“They end up wanting to gain approval from others and end up losing themselves in the process.(他们想要得到别人的赞同最后在这个过程中失去了自我)”可知，本句是在否定上文改变自己去融入人群的做法。故C选项“这就是很多人犯错的地方”符合语境，故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Let go of past anger. We’re so angry at people that we can’t relate to anyone or only expect the worst from others. Once I figured out how to let go of my past, I became much more comfortable being me.(放下过去的愤怒。我们对别人太生气了，以至于我们无法与任何人相处，或者只对别人抱最坏的期望。一旦我明白如何放开我的过去，我变得更自在地做我自己)”可知，本段内容讲的是放手过去的愤怒。空前说一旦我弄清楚了怎样释放过去，我对自己就感觉更舒服一些，可知本句为过渡句，指出上文放开过去对作者的影响。故E选项“我发现和其他人相处更容易了”符合语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据上文“What do you want to explore, what goals do you have, or what do you want to learn?(你想探索什么，你有什么目标，或者你想学习什么？)”可知，本句承接上文说明这些问题的作用和做法。故D选项“问自己这些问题，然后去做”符合语境，故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文“The key to handling the situation of “I feel like an outsider” is really all in how you react to that feeling.(处理“我觉得自己像个局外人”这种情况的关键在于你如何应对这种感觉)”可知，本句具体说明“我觉得自己像个局外人”的感觉，故G选项“你可以为此自责，也可以因此变得更坚强”符合语境，故选G。

【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：计划旅行——思考它，谈论它，想象它——实际上可能是你能做的保持乐观的最好的事情。这里为定语从句的关系代词，先行词为the best thing of all，在定语从句中担当宾语，由于先行词前有最高级修饰，所以用关系代词that引导。故填that。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数为150词左右。
Mary has always been by my side since my earliest age I could remember. The time I spent with her on our way to school was always the happiest memory for me. However, after the hospital told her that she had a serious cancer, we could no longer go to school together. I started the second semester of tenth grade on my own. Day by day, she became weaker and I felt like she was going away leaving me alone.
One day, when I woke up to go to school, Mary didn't. She had passed away in her sleep during the night. After she was laid to rest, I went back to school, but I didn't care much to be there at all. Then there came my darkest days when I felt like doing nothing and talking to nobody but floating（漂浮）in the ocean of sadness of losing her.
Since it was a new semester, my teacher didn't know me very well. My English teacher, Miss Jones, however, noticed that something was unusual. One day she asked me to meet her after class. “You always seem lost,” she said. "Your mind is always someplace else during class.”
I told her the reason I came to school every day. It was because I could be with Mary. Now she wasn't there. I didn't really feel I need to come anymore. Then she said, "well, could you please just do me a favor. I want you to meet me in my office today during the free period." So I met her, just to talk. Afterwards, she said, "Meet me tomorrow, the same time." And I did so the next day. She had me meet her during her after-class time, I helped her mark papers, check homework and we talked.
Paragraph 1:
This went on without missing a single day, which gradually took brightness to my life.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
It took me years before I realized what Miss Jones had done.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】This went on without missing a single day, which gradually took brightness to my life. At the very beginning, Miss Jones shared a lot about her experiences including her classes, her formal students, even her teenage and so on and I just listened for most of time. One day she asked about my opinion of a movie which I liked very much. And on that day, it felt like that I spilt out every words swallowed in my stomach since Mary's leaving. From that day on, every time I meet with something I wish to share ideas on, I would go for her. Sometimes she also helped me with my study. Going to school became meaningful to me again, because I knew someone is waiting for me at the end of the way to school.
It took me years before I realized what Miss Jones had done. I graduated from high school in the top 15 percent of my class. I was always academically capable of that, but at 15, having lost my best friend and not really seeing that value of education, I was in line to be a high school dropout. I realized that the reason I showed up to school every single day was that somebody there was expecting to see me. That somebody was Miss Jones.
