The number of passengers varies among airports, with some airports serving tens of millions of passengers. Interestingly, some of the busiest airports in the country are not necessarily the biggest by surface area.

Atlanta Airport has been the world's busiest airport since 1998. Approximately 104 million people traveled through it in 2019, 20 million passengers more than the second busiest airport. ATL is located 11 kilometers away from Atlanta and named after Maynard Jackson and William Hartsfield, Atlanta's two former mayors.

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)

DFW Airport is located between Dallas and Fort Worth, covering 69.63 square kilometers. In 2019, the airport served 75 million passengers, the most in its 45 years of existence. It has service to over 250 destinations, the majority being domestic destinations within the country. The airport has its fire protection unit, zip code, police, and emergency services.

McCarran International Airport (LAS)

Located approximately 8 kilometers south of Las Vegas, it occupies 11.3 square kilometers. It was constructed in 1942 and opened to flights in 1948. LAS is now the 9th busiest airport in the US, serving over 51 million passengers in 2019. Initially, the runways were made of asphalt(沥青), but are now made of concrete.

    If someone had told me five years ago that I would be living happily ever after on a small farm in western Oklahoma, I would have immediately denied the possibility. Back then, I was a confirmed city girl. I enjoyed the city life.

    Then one day, while we were checking my mother's farm for her, I looked around, liked what I saw and asked my husband, “Why don't we build a house here on the farm?”

    To my surprise, he said, “Yes!”

    And so we began a new and very different chapter in our life story. My husband and I set out to deal with the land. We took down dead trees, knocked down the outbuildings and planted vegetable and flower gardens. We learned new skills as we worked and provided the locals with humorous moments as they answered our questions. We built a home to welcome family and friends, to share the beauty and bounty of the land.

    We soon realized the land had played a joke on us: it had changed and transformed us in our efforts to change it. We lost weight and gained muscles.

    We've learned to recognize and honor nature's cycles and timing instead of clocks, calendars, schedules and to-do lists. With only two clocks in the house, we enjoy the flow of days into nights. Our timeless life allows us to appreciate sunrises and sunsets—each a unique event that camera and words only partially capture.

    Living a simple life in the country has led us back to common sense. We've learned to be resourceful in solving problems and can think of many unique ways. I become better at handling a situation with fewer resources and conveniences.

    In the quietness of the land, we hear and appreciate nature's music. We also listen to the silence. Walking through the grasses, gazing at the century-old trees and wondering about all the changes and history they have witnessed are relaxing pastimes. I have to be truthful: caring for the land is a joyful job.

5、How did the author benefit from the country life?

A. She enjoyed better health.

B. She made much money by working.

B. Country life is better than city life.

C. Getting close to nature can be joyful.

D. Living in the country is everyone's dream.

If you are a perfectionist, you are probably familiar with the feeling of wanting to get everything just right. You may struggle with handing in papers, agonize over projects at work, and even worry about small errors from the past. High standards are one thing, but perfectionism is quite another. And as some researchers have discovered, pursuing perfection can have serious consequences to both mental and physical well­being.

According to researchers, perfectionists hold themselves to unrealistically high standards and become self­critical if they believe they haven't met these standards. Perfectionists are also likely to feel guilt and shame if they experience failures, which often leads them to avoid situations where they are worried they might fail.

In one study, researchers looked at a total of 284 studies (with over 57, 000 participants) and found that perfectionism was associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessive­compulsive disorder, and eating disorders. They also found that people higher in perfectionism (i.e. participants who more strongly identified with perfectionist traits) also reported higher levels of overall psychological distress.

In an article published in 2016, researchers looked at how perfectionism and depression were related over time. They found that people higher in perfectionism tended to have increases in depression symptoms, which suggests that perfectionism may be a risk factor for developing depression. In other words, although people may think of their perfectionism as something that helps them succeed, it appears that their perfectionism may actually be harmful for their mental health.

Since perfectionism is associated with negative outcomes, what can someone with perfectionist tendencies do to change their behavior? Although people are sometimes hesitant to give up their perfectionist tendencies, psychologists point out that giving up on perfection doesn't mean being less successful. In fact, because mistakes are an important part of learning and growing, embracing imperfection can actually help us in the long run.

8、Why does the author describe the scene in the first paragraph？

A. To introduce the topic. B. To make comparisons.

C. To support the author's argument. D. To define a concept.

9、Who can be defined as a perfectionist？

A. A person who is determined to achieve high goals.

B. A person who tends to feel sorry for what he has done.

C. A person who blames himself for not being that successful.

D. A person who holds high standards for themselves.

10、How can perfectionism be harmful？

A. It may lower one's mental health.

B. It reflects one's psychological level.

C. It results in depression immediately.

D. It stops one from recovering from depression.

11、What will be discussed in the following paragraph？

A. A call for not being a perfectionist. B. Another side­effect of perfectionism.

C. Why perfectionism is harmful. D. How to avoid perfectionism.

Some issues like climate change or the ongoing pandemic(大流行病)are increasingly complex and dynamic. Yet solving problems like these requires new approaches that extend beyond traditional ways of thinking. A study led by Yale Professor of Psychology, Paul O'Keefe, found that having a growth mindset(思维模式) of interest may activate this type of innovation.

Professor O'Keefe established in earlier studies that people hold different beliefs about the nature of interest. Those with a growth mindset of interest tend to believe that interests can be developed and cultivated, while those with a fixed mindset of interest tend to believe that interests are inborn and simply need to be “found”.

For example, in one task, research participants were instructed to create new college majors by combining two or more existing academic Arts or Science programs at their university. After coding and analyzing the ideas they generated, the team found that people with a growth mindset of interest were more likely to bridge programs across the arts and sciences to create new majors like computational economics rather than creating majors that drew from only one of those areas, like computational chemistry.

As Professor O'Keefe pointed out, “This research provides a useful direction for organizations whose products and services call for creative solutions. Take smartphones for example. You need not only computer science and engineering knowledge, but also an understanding of psychology and visual design to create a better product. Employees with a growth mindset may be more likely to frame innovative ideas that bridge multiple areas of knowledge to achieve better solutions.”

The benefits of a growth mindset of interest may also extend to those seeking employment. This is a pressing issue because many people are becoming unemployed due to the COVID­19 pandemic. Having a growth mindset of interest can help job seekers expand their interests and become more adaptable to different fields, and tend to learn new skills.

12、What's the author's opinion about the world today？

A. It is witnessing various types of innovations.

B. It is undergoing great and profound changes.

C. It faces more varied and complicated problems.

D. It has removed many traditional ways of thinking.

13、What can best replace the underlined the word “bridge”？

A. Study.  B. Plan. C. Choose.  D. Connect.

14、What does the author want to illustrate with the example of smartphones？

A. Hi­tech products can boost people's general thinking.

B. Hi­tech products are needed in multi­subject research.

C. Improved technology gives birth to highly popular products.

D. Making innovative products needs knowledge of many fields.

15、What is the author's suggestion to those who are seeking employment？

A. Learning practical skills. B. Broadening their interests.

C. Staying safe in the pandemic. D. Knowing their pressing issues.

37、答案：①with②meaning③found④traditional⑤to slow⑥goals⑦who⑧Actually⑨created⑩a

解析：①考查介词。句意为:加利福尼亚的一个博物馆的新展览为游客提供了中国古代艺术风格—"山水画"(在英语中意为mountain-water painting)的现代版本。provide sb. with sth.意为“为某人提供某物”,为固定短语。故填with。

②考查非谓语动词。句意见上一题解析。分析句子结构可知,本句中谓语动词为provides,故设空处应为非谓语动词形式;且mean与其逻辑主语"shan shui hua"之间为主动关系,应用现在分词作定语。故填meaning。

③考查动词的时态。句意为:艺术家董承濂和吴季璁在几年前找到了将新数字技术与这种传统艺术相结合的方法。根据时间状语several years ago可知,此处应用一般过去时,故填found。

④考查词性转换。句意见上一题解析。设空处修饰名词短语kind of art,应用形容词。故填traditional。

⑥考查名词单复数。句意为:这也是很久以前山水画艺术家的创作目的之一。"one of +可数名词复数"为固定用法,意为"……之一",故填goals。

⑦考查定语从句。句意为:生于中国台湾,现居住在加利福尼亚北部的董说:"事实上,这个展览是为所有这些艺术家们创造一个他们想要隐居其中的'桃花源'。" 分析句子结构可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Dong,指人,从句中缺少主语,故填who。

⑧考查词性转换。句意见上一题解析。此处用于修饰整个句子,在句中作状语,故填副词Actually,表示"事实上,实际上"。

⑨考查非谓语动词。句意为:这件由吴创作的作品被命名为《水晶城市》。此处作后置定语,修饰The piece,且The piece与create之间为逻辑上的被动关系,应用过去分词形式,故填created。

⑩考查冠词。句意为:吴说:"如果我们通过光,通过不同的视角来看待这幅作品,我们可以看到一个隐藏在作品后面的新世界。"此处修饰可数名词,表示泛指,且new的发音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。

38、答案：    My father often took me to his hospital when I was off school. He showed me how his medical instruments used. I felt so to him. However, after I went to high school, somehow I distant from him. I was unwilling talk with him and often disobeyed his rule of not out with my friends too late. The disagreement was sharp that neither he nor I knew to settle it. One day, he talked with me hoped to mend our relations. With the efforts made by sides, we began to understand each other better.

解析：第一处: 删除my off school是固定表达, 意为"不上学"。

第二处: was→were 根据instruments可知用were。

第三处: closely→close 系动词之后应用形容词。

第四处: become→became 陈述发生在过去的事情应用一般过去时。

第五处: unwilling后加to be unwilling to do sth.是固定用法。

第六处: stay→staying 此处位于介词of后, 应用v.-ing形式。

第七处: too→so 此处考查so...that...结构, 表示"如此......以至于......"。

第八处: what→how 此处表示"如何解决", 应用how。

第九处: or→and 此处为顺承关系, 应用and。

第十处: all→both 此处指"父子二人", 应用both。
