第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
What a year, it’s been for music! Although the industry is still influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, so many talented artists were able to put out hit songs, and music videos this year. Here are some of the best ones!
“Kiss Me More (feat. SZA)”— Doja Cat
It has taken Doja Cat many years to become an artist capable of critical respect. Planet Her is one of her most breathtaking albums released, and among so many standout tracks (歌曲), “Kiss Me More (feat. SZA)” takes the lead. With a tasty hook, soft and comforting disco atmosphere, the song deserves all the recognition it has gotten.
“Easy On Me”—Adele
Adele made her long-awaited return this year. Her track “Easy On Me” broke the world record for the most streamed song in 24 hours, with 24 million streams. Adele is the queen of ballads, and we. love “Easy On Me” for its subtle soul sounds, daring vocals, and heartfelt message about asking for forgiveness from our loved ones.
“Happier Than Ever”—Billie Eilish
Talented artists like Billie Eilish only come once in a generation. We believe “Happier Than Ever” is to Eilish what “Bohemian Rhapsody” is to Queen. Sure, maybe the former song isn’t as rock-heavy or revolutionary as the latter, but it is similarly emotional, vocally impressive, and a song we think will remain as a “classic” in years to come.
“Butter”—BTS
If the Beatles brought the “British Invasion” to the U. S. in the 60s, BTS is bringing the Korean Wave in the 2020s. This year, the beloved K-pop group’s “Butter” broke so-many records, and it’s hard to keep track. What makes the song so tasty is its sweet and playful atmosphere, amusing lyrics, and ability to show each group member’s unique personality. Because of that, it easily became a smooth summer anthem, which gives us a reason to smile, dance, and sing for a change.
21. Which of the following songs contains disco elements?
A. Kiss Me More (feat. SZA). B. Easy On Me. C. Happier Than Ever. D. Butter.
22. What do Adele and Billie Eilish have in common?
A. They are good at playing ballad and rock music.
B. They are considered as queens of music.
C. They have produced high-quality music.
D. They have broken the world record.
23. Where is the text most likely to be found?
A. In a fashion magazine. B. In a biography.
C. In a local newspaper. D. On a music website.
B
We were 3,000 miles away from home on a Volunteerism Road Trip. Our funds were running low, so we had two goals: to try out our new “Smile!” signs and see how much joy we could spread, and to raise $80, enough for gas to Portland.
I nervously raised our signs and shouted “Hi there!” to a young couple. They read my sign and broke into smiles. Before long, our signs were wildly popular. Strangers took photos with us and asked us about our signs. Some even asked if they could have a “Smile!” sign to carry around. We posed for pictures and sang with street performers. We got so wrapped up in our “Smile!” project that we forgot the other goal. Before we knew it, the sun was setting.
We sat down to think about how we’d raise the money we needed. A blind man had just finished playing the guitar. He was packing up when a passing crowd kicked over his coin jar. Coins scattered(四散) around and he felt his way to collect them. We rushed to help him, but before we could get there, another man “stole” our good deed.
Once the musician had his money returned, we went to meet the “thief”. “We just wanted to compliment you on your good deed,” I said.
He smiled and asked about our signs. After learning about our road trip, he said sincerely, “I’d like to contribute. It’ll make me feel like I’m part of this adventure.” Then this complete stranger opened his wallet and handed us four twenty-dollar bills, exactly what we had intended to raise that day.
Several years later, this man, whose name is Jared, went on his own road trip. He visited our city and volunteered with the non-profit organization we co-founded. So often we never get to see the ripple effect(连锁反应) of our kindness. But we are so glad he did.
24. Why did the author fail to raise money for gas before the sun was setting?
A. She didn’t know how to raise money. B. She was fully focused on the first goal.
C. She was too busy to raise money. D. She spent much time helping the blind man.
25. Who helped the blind man collect the scattered coins?
A. The author. B. A musician.
C. The author’s friend. D. A man named Jared.
26. How did Jared help the author in the road trip?
A. By driving the author together to Portland. B. By donating money for this trip.
C. By co-founding a non-profit organization. D. By joining this road trip to Portland.
27. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. The second goal has been achieved. B. My adventure with Jared ends.
C. Road trip has lasting effects. D. Jared continues his road trip.
C
Sharks are now at the edge of extinction. Numbers of oceanic sharks have declined by an alarming 71 percent over the past 50 years according to research published in Nature on Jan 27.
“Such steep declines are shocking even to experts, especially when compared to land animal statistics,” Sonja Fordham at Shark Advocates International, a US-based nonprofit, told New Scientist magazine. This alarming data may be an underestimate of reality due to unreported fish catches, Nathan Pacoureau, the study researcher, noted.
The study analyzed 31 species; 24 now risk extinction, and three shark species are now classified as critically endangered, including the oceanic white-tip shark (远洋白鳍鲨) and great hammerhead (锤头鲨). The study found the decline hit the largest species first before impacting smaller ones over time, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It also revealed that shark finning and fishing worldwide have driven the decline. “The Indian Ocean is the worst. There is almost no (fisheries) management at all,” said Pacoureau.
“Overfishing of sharks and rays endangers the health of entire ocean ecosystems as well as food security for some countries,” said Nicholas Dulvy, a professor of Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. The researchers are calling on immediate action to secure a brighter future for these “extraordinary, irreplaceable animals”, according to the BBC.
Although the situation looks gloomy, the future of sharks is not doomed (劫数难逃的) yet. Twenty-five species have recovered, due to long-term conservation campaigns in the past decades. A couple of shark species, including the great white, have started to recover through science-based fishing limits, Fordham said. These examples “provide living proof that the world can set, and meet, ambitious biodiversity targets”, Jane Smart, global director of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, said in a statement.
28. What can we know from paragraph 1?
A. Sharks are raised for their meat.
B. Sharks are nearly going extinct.
C. Sharks were well protected 50 years ago.
D. Human activities will make them extinct quickly.
29. What causes sharks to become fewer mostly?
A. Climate change. B. Water pollution. C. Ocean accidents. D. Fishing pressure.
30. What attitude does the author hold to the sharks’ future?
A. Optimistic. B. Unconcerned. C. Worried. D. Pessimistic.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Threat to the Survival of Sharks B. Effect of Human Activities on Sharks
C. Research on Extinction of Sharks D. Measures to Protect Sharks
D
The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
32.What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship.
C. It is culture-specific. D. It is content-based.
33.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A. The Chinese. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.
34.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases. B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.
35.What may be the best title for the text?
A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold

One possible version: Be smart online learners
Online learning is an important way to study recently. And being smart online learners plays a significant role here. Therefore, I’d like to share my opinions regarding of its advantages and disadvantages.
Undoubtedly, the Internet is like an endless ocean of knowledge, which could broaden our horizon. Besides, we can study online anytime and anywhere. However, its disadvantages cannot be ignored, one of which is easy to distract those who lacks self-control to things like computer games, TV shows and so on.
To be smart online learners, studying online must be a great choice for us. It’s a great choice for us to study online if we are smart online learners. And the key is to make strict plans and reasonable schedules. Most importantly, balance the time of studying and entertaining.
