The American Psychological Association points out that naps can improve memory,learning capacity and mood. Sara Med nick,PhD,a neuroscience at the University of California explains that when you fall asleep, your body moves through stages that each play a role in health. Ideal napping times are based around this four-stage cycle. Stage 1the“dozing off”(打瞌睡)periodStage 2muscles,heart rate and brain activity slow downStage 3deep, restorative sleepStage 4REM(rapid eye movement)sleep,when brain activity increases and you’re most likely to dreamThe 20-minute napBetween 20 and 30 minutes is one napping sweet spot, according to Mednick, who explains that you get enough Stage 2 sleep to switch your body and mind into full relaxation mode,aiding with memory. The 60-minute napStage 3 sleep is a time for your body to repair tissue,strengthen the immune(免疫)system and recharge energy stores. But waking up during this phase can make you feel uncomfortable and sleepy,Med nick says. Most people start to move out of Stage 3 after around 60 minutes, which makes it a good time to set your alarm. The 90-minute napA complete sleep cycle is about an hour and a half, and napping for a full cycle can have big benefits. But naps longer than 90 minutes can disturb nighttime sleep and might even weaken memory. Not a regular napper? That’s OK. “Everyone needs to rest, but not everyone necessarily needs to nap,” says Med nick.21．During which phase may you have a dream?A．Stage1. B．Stage2. C．Stage3. D．Stage 4. 22．How long may the first 3 stages last?A．A quarter. B．One hour. C．Half an hour. D．One and a half hours.23．Which section is the text probably taken from in a newspaper?A．News B．Education. C．Lifestyle. D．Health.BElito Circa is a Filipino artist who rose to fame for using his own blood to create canvas (油画布) paintings, which has attracted both praise and criticism over the years.Born in a poor family that couldn’t afford to buy proper art supplies, Elito Circa experimented with a variety of unusual mediums as a child, including tomatoes, but it was when he accidentally scraped (刮破) his hand that he discovered the art medium that would mark his artistic career—his own blood. He quickly realized that the blood was not only harder to erase from the canvas, but it also made his artworks his own in a way that he had never imagined before.Every time he scraped his body, young Elito used the blood as paint, but as he grew older he realized that his “paint” needed to be supplied stably, so he started visiting a clinic in Manila to have it drawn periodically. Nowadays, he stops by the clinic about once every three months. He then stores his blood in a freezer in his studio.Although Elito has been criticized for his use of blood as paint in the past few years, the Filipino artist has always made it clear that he wants to change people’s view of blood through his art. “People are afraid of blood, because in their minds, blood means death,” Elito said in an interview. “But I want to twist that belief. That’s why I’m addressing its use because I want people to think that it’s not death, but love and life.”It’s unclear how much of his own blood Elito Circa has stored in his art studio, but it must be a lot, because he has announced a plan to create the largest ever “blood painting” on a 100-meter canvas next year, expecting to set a new world record.24．Why did Elito Circa become well-known?A．Great details were reflected in his artworks.B．He used a special art medium in his artworks.C．He showed extraordinary skills in his artworks.D．Unique thoughts were expressed in his artworks.25．What made Elito Circa paint with blood?A．His family’s economic conditions. B．His great interest in experiments.C．His strong desire to stand out. D．His rich artistic imaginations.26．How did Elito achieve a stable supply of “paint”?A．By keeping himself in shape. B．By scraping his body periodically.C．By having his blood drawn regularly. D．By collecting blood from a local clinic.27．Which of the following proverbs can best describe Elito Circa’s story?A．Practice makes perfect.B．He who laughs last laughs best.C．God helps those who help themselves.D．Go your own way regardless of what people say.CThe Beijing 2022 Olympics earns high marks for sustainable artificial snow. Kit McConnell, sports director of the International Olympic Committee, said the participants believe the artificial snow is outstanding. “The focus is on doing this in a sustainable way, and also ensuring the athletes have an outstanding field of play on which to compete at the Olympic level,” McConnell said.Artificial snow gives the courses a better and more stable quality. Different from natural snow, certain qualities including particle size, the proportion of water content, and the hardness can be easily changed in creating the artificial snow, to meet the qualities and needs of different competition venues. Natural snow with a very low density cannot be used for competitions as it falls off more easily and brings safety risks.Though the artificial snow has been used for the Beijing 2022 Olympics, a few years ago China had barely any experience in making artificial snow for the Games. Wang Feiteng, a member of the snow-making team of experts for Beijing 2022, developed a localized snow production and service technology that is suitable to China’s climate with other team members after three years of experiments. The success breaks the key snow-making technology blockade.Following the Winter Games, artificial snow technology can also be useful. Regulating the temperature within a specific range can maintain the growth of crops in the areas where global warming has had an impact. In high-altitude areas, the application of artificial snow can not only reduce the melting process of snow, but also control water flow, preventing floods and droughts from happening.28．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?A．Producing man-made snow. B．Designing ski race tracks.C．Ensuring participants get enough training. D．Helping athletes adapt to China’s climate.29．Natural snow is not the best for the Beijing 2022 Olympics because ________.A．it is too heavy B．it is hard to storeC．it cannot keep courses safe D．it cannot be recycled after the Games30．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The introduction to the snow-making expert team.B．The key experiments made on the man-made snow.C．Background information about Chinese making artificial snow.D．Demand for qualities of artificial snow used in competitions.31．What do we know about the artificial snow from the last paragraph?A．It can be used as agricultural water. B．It can relieve environmental pollution.C．It can shorten the growing cycle of crops. D．It can be applied to deal with climate issues. DAn exhibition of vivid photographs and a restored documentary give fresh insight into the Antarctic explorer, who died a century ago. One hundred years ago, the leader of the last great expedition of the heroic age of polar exploration died from a heart attack as his ship, Quest, headed for Antarctica. The announcement of the death of Ernest Shackleton on 30 January 1922 was greeted with an outpouring of national grief. This was the man, after all, who had saved the entire crew of his ship Endurance — which had been crushed and sunk by ice in 1915 — by making a daring trip in a tiny open boat over 750 miles of polar sea to raise the alarm at a whaling station in South Georgia. It remains one of the greatest rescue stories of modern history and led to the idolising of Shackleton in the United Kingdom, a reputation that survived undamaged for the rest of the century. As his contemporary Raymond Priestley, the geologist and Antarctic explorer, later put it: “When disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton.” And here and now in 2022, his death is being marked with an elaborately illustrated exhibition — Shackleton’s legacy and the power of early Antarctic photography — which opens at the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), and which includes a range of images and artefacts from his expeditions. Additionally, a digitally remade version of South, a documentary film of Shackleton’s 1914-16 Endurance expedition, is being screened at the British Film Institute. The film and most of the exhibition’s finest images are the handiwork of Frank Hurley, who sailed with Shackleton and who was one of the 20th century’s greatest photographers and film-makers. Both film and exhibition feature striking camera work and provide vivid accounts of the hardships that Shackleton and his men endured as they headed off to explore Antarctica.Even after he survived the great expedition, he still longed for another trip to Antarctica, and after long negotiations set sail in Quest, from England, with the aim of circumnavigating (环航) Antarctica, Shackleton was by now very ill and had suffered at least one heart attack. On 2 January 1922, he wrote in his diary: “I grow old and tired but must always lead on.” Three days later he had a major heart attack and died a few hours later. He is buried on South Georgia, scene of his greatest triumph. “Shackleton was an inspirational leader. He had an innate sense of what was possible and achievable. He also had a huge personality but led by example. At the same time, he was sensitive to the needs of the individuals he was leading. For example, after Endurance broke up, his men had lost their protection and shelter. Their social fabric had been destroyed. There would have been disagreement. Yet Shackleton succeeded in keeping them together and made sure they survived.”32．People were overcome with grief when Ernest Shackleton died because .A．it was a huge pity that such a brave explorer should have died from a heart attackB．he was the man that wrote about one of the greatest rescue stories of modern historyC．he came to his entire crew’s rescue and symbolised hope in extreme circumstancesD．there was no one to pray to anymore when disaster came and there was no hope33．What can we learn about the exhibition?A．It presents Shackleton’s 1914-16 Endurance expedition with powerful Antarctic photos.B．It celebrates the 100th anniversary of the great explorer Ernest Shackleton’s birth.C．It consists of vivid photographs, artefacts, and documentaries of Ernest Shackleton.D．It is created by Frank Hurley, who witnessed Shackleton’s heroic acts with his own eyes.34．Which of the following is NOT true about Ernest Shackleton according to the passage?A．He was the leader of a heroic exploration to the South pole, who died from a heart attack off shore.B．He saved the crew members of the sunken Endurance by travelling to raise the alarm in a tiny boat.C．He is universally recognized as the greatest Antarctic explorer who has enjoyed enduring fame.D．He was inspirational, practical, responsible, sensitive towards his men, but had a strong character.35．What does “Their social fabric had been destroyed. ” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A．What they wore would not be accepted by others upon returning.B．They could no longer socialize with others even if they went back.C．The ship could not keep them together even if they survived.D．They could not function socially as they had when there was shelter.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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A daily multivitamin (复合维生素) may give your wellbeing an extra benefit, but if you’ve ever swallowed one and felt sick right after, you know it’s hardly a pleasant experience.___36___·You’re taking vitamins on an empty stomach.Vitamins that are more acid in nature, like vitamin C, may cause nausea (恶心) if they’re consumed on an empty stomach.

I’d learned to fish from my dad. He’d taught me everything I knew about fishing. Then, he passed away.“Why do I have to be so quiet?” asked Isaiah.“All those birds are making way more noise than I ever could!”I ignored him. Pulling back on my rod(杆),I remembered my dad’s words.“Jacob,gently bring your rod back. Keep the line up high.”Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a few great northern loons(潜鸟)gathering together not far from the shoreline.What were they doing there? Maybe it was a family? One loon, making terrible sounds, swam away from the group, towards me.My dad had been a fish and wildlife officer. He travelled all over the province, working away from home for days on end, especially in the spring and fall. When he returned, we sat on the couch together, and he told me stories of life on the road. My dad loved his job, especially the part where he protected nature from humans.“Isaiah! Come here!”“Now who’s shouting?”“Just get over here. Now!”The loon stopped in the shallow water near shore. It was so close, and we could see its bright red eyes. Strangely, the bird’s wings were held tight against its body.“Look at that beak(鸟喙)!” said Isaiah.“It could easily stab(刺)us to death with that thing!”Walking into the water,getting closer to the loon, we both saw thin wire wrapped around its neck. Reaching down, I touched its head, my heart racing. I could see there was a shiny red hook in its body, and fishing line was wrapped tightly around its neck. Left like this, the loon couldn’t fly or fish or survive. It was asking us to help!“Go to grab the scissors. I’ll pick it up, and you cut away the line,”I said to Isaiah, who ran away and came back with the tiny pair of scissors.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。Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes for a second to calm myself. “Hurry and cut the line!”I said.

Now I am writing to appeal to everyone to make their own contribution to the protection of animals.The key reason for animal extinction is that we humans hunt too much and destroy animal habitats. Then there is the damage caused by warming. In order to save the world’s animals, we should do our part to publicize not to destroy the habitat of animals, not to indiscriminately kill rare animals.Here, I sincerely advocate that we all love animals and protect the environment.Yours,Li Hua67．One possible version:Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes for a second to calm myself. Somehow I felt my dad’s presence, like he was standing shoulder to shoulder with me in the shallow water.“Jacob, the bird won’t hurt you. It needs your help. I am here and will guide you through this.”My hands were shaking, but I bent down to pick up the loon. Taking it carefully under its wings, I held it out at arm’s length, afraid that it might stab me with its beak.“Hurry and cut the line!”I said. Isaiah shuffled closer. Using the scissors, he cut away the fishing line from around the loon’s neck. Finally, he set the loon free. I patted the loon’s head, a gesture of gratitude that it hadn’t used its beak as a weapon. As I set it down on the water, it flapped its wings and flew away. Back onshore, Uncle Rick had been watching,“Boys, I’m awfully proud of you both. That was spectacular. You worked together, helped each other out,and kept that loon alive.”
