A
If yu really want a taste f Dutch life, a bike tur thrugh Amsterdam is the way t g.
What is included in an Amsterdam bike tur
The bicycle is f curse prvided and included in the price f the tur. Sme turs ffer cffee and tea after the tur finishes. Every tur especially has its wn theme and rute (路线). Yu can cmpare them by visiting webpages abut a particular tur.
Amsterdam bicycle tur basics
These turs are usually between ne and tw hurs lng. They are guided by friendly and knwledgeable tur guides wh are well capable in human interactins and Amsterdam infrmatin. What’s mre, the tur guides usually knw many languages and are used t dealing with cmmunicatin barriers (障碍).
If it rains, n wrries, yu can chse t cancel yur tur free f charge. This applies f curse als in case f (万一) ther bad weather r in case yu simply dn’t feel like taking the tur. The cancellatin is easy, withut questin, and free.
Imprtant during the bicycle tur f Amsterdam
Please dn’t becme s Dutch that yu disregard the traffic laws. It is a fact that sme Amsterdammers ften crss a street r a bridge when they feel like ding it. That is why staying alert (警惕的) and a little bit f biking experience can help yu t crss the small city streets during an Amsterdam bike tur. Als, unless yu are 100% sure that the weather will be plenty sunny, yu’d better bring a jacket. When yu start mving n the bike, the Amsterdam’s air can get quite cld.
21．What is special abut an Amsterdam bike tur?
A．It prvides a free bike.B．It ffers cffee and tea.
C．It includes a free lunch.D．It has its theme and rute.
22．Which f the fllwing is suggested in the last paragraph?
A．Taking n ntice f the traffic rules.B．Bringing warm clthing.
C．Ding as the Dutch d.D．Getting away frm bad weather.
23．Where can the text be fund?

Is future yu? It might seem like a strange philsphical questin. But the answer t hw yu think abut yur future self culd make the difference between decisins yu ultimately find satisfying and nes yu might eventually regret.
The brain patterns that emerge n an MRI (核磁共振成像) when peple think abut their future selves mst like the brain patterns that arise when they think abut strangers. This finding suggests that, in the mind’s eye, ur future selves lk like ther peple. If yu see future yu as a different persn, why shuld yu save mney, eat healthier r exercise mre regularly t benefit that stranger?
Hwever, if yu see the interests f yur distant self as mre like thse f yur present self, yu are cnsiderably mre likely t d things tday that benefit yu tmrrw. A paper in the jurnal PLS One revealed that cllege students wh experienced a greater sense f cnnectin and similarity t their future selves were mre likely t achieve academic success. Relatinships with ur future selves als matter fr general psychlgical well-being. In a prject led by Jseph Reiff, which includes 5, 000 adults aged 20 t 75, he fund that thse wh perceived a great verlap (重叠) in qualities between their current and future selves ended up being mre satisfied with their lives 10 years after filling ut the initial survey.
S hw can we better befriend ur future selves and feel mre cnnected t their fates? The psychlgical mindset with what we call ”vividness interventins“ wrks. We have fund, fr instance, that shwing peple images f their lder, grayer selves increases intentins t save fr the lng term. Besides, yu might try writing a letter t-and then frm-yur future self. As demnstrated by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilsn in their 2020 study in the jurnal Self and Identity, when high-schl students engaged in this type f ”send-and-reply“ exercise, they experienced elevated (升高的) levels f feelings f similarity with their future selves.
Letter-writing and visualizatin exercises are just a cuple f ways we can cnnect with ur future selves and beynd, but the larger lessn here is clear: If we can treat ur distant selves as if they are peple we lve, care abut and want t supprt, we can start making chices fr them that imprve ur lives-bth tday and tmrrw.
24．What’s the functin f paragraph 2?
A．Generating further discussin.B．Intrducing a research result.
C．Shwing the effect f the finding.D．Cncluding varius viewpints.
25．Hw des the authr prve his statements?
A．By ffering relevant statistics.B．By using qutatins.
C．By referring t previus findings.D．By making cmparisns.
26．What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A．Benefits f befriending ur future selves.
B．Ways f cnnecting with ur future selves.
C．Methds f changing psychlgical mindsets.
D．Pssibilities f us becming ur future selves.
27．What des the article want t tell us?
A．Making future plans makes a difference.
B．Our future selves lk like ther peple.
C．Getting t knw yur future self benefits.
D．Yur chice affects the fates f strangers.

We may weep fr the dd, but culd and shuld we bring this lvely bird back frm the dead? De-extinctin is the science f restring lst species and it has been in the news fr decades.
The stry in mdern times began in 1990 when Michael Crichtn published his science fictin nvel Jurassic Park, in which he imagined a wrld where scientists were able t bring dinsaurs back t life. Crichtn imagined that plymerase chain reactin (PCR) technlgy culd be a way t amplify (放大) tiny quantities f dinsaur DNA and thus build a living embry.
Sadly, bilgists sn realized that DNA in fact breaks dwn super-fast; even after 100 years, DNA frm museum skins f dds was decayed (腐烂) beynd repair. They culd be sequenced (测定序列) using massive cmputatinal pwer, but then nly with cnsiderable uncertainty. And even if yu capture a DNA sequence, there’s still the prblem f hw yu get living cells t read that sequence and express prteins that make the dinsaur r the dd.
But why wuld anyne want t see mammths, r smething like them, raming (漫游) present-day Siberia? Well, they were undubtedly amazing beasts. As well as hunting them, ur distant ancestrs painted their likenesses in caves acrss Eurpe. Fascinating as they may be, there's sme eclgical justificatin fr the prject t.
It was this diversity f land surface, brken up by heavy limbs and randmly fertilised by faeces (排泄物), that supprted s much flra (植物群). Withut the mammths, that diversity disappeared. Return them and landscapes wuld nce again be with a variety f species, including flwers and bushes.
True, it’s nt de-extinctin in the sense f bringing a lng-dead species back t life. Instead it’s mre like making a “dd” by engineering a mdern pigen, its clsest relative, t becme huge and flightless. The result wuld be a big, fatty pigen that, whether it lked like a dd r nt, wuld prbably fulfil sme f its eclgical rles.
As a palaentlgist, I wuld f curse lve t see living dinsaurs, mammths and dds. In sme ways, thugh, I am relieved that the ptimistic claims fr clning and genetic technlgies have nt been brne ut. The slwdwn gives us time t cnsider the utcmes—and hpefully avid sme f Michael Crichtn’s mre fevered imaginings.
28．What is paragraph 2 f the text mainly abut?
A．A science fictin review.B．The develpment f DNA．
C．An inspired guess f de-extinctin.D．The applicatin f PCR technlgy.
29．What’s the barrier t clning a living embry?
A．DNA is hard t keep fr lng.B．Cmputatinal pwer is limited.
C．Bilgists are ppsed t it.D．Living cells can?t be sequenced.
30．Why are peple interested in clning extinct species?
A．They expect t seek hunt fun.B．They lack surces f mdern art.
C．They need them fr research.D．They want t see bidiversity.
31．What’s the authr’s attitude tward clning extinct species?
A．Cautius.B．Unclear.C．Dismissive.D．Apprving.

Sme ants have figured ut hw t avid getting lst: build taller anthills, accrding t a recent study.
Desert ants living in the ht, flat salt pans f Tunisia spend their days lking fr fd and reach as far as 1.1 kilmeters frm their nests. T find their way hme, desert ants use a navigatin system, relying n the sun’s psitin and cunting their steps t track their lcatin relative t their nest.
But this system becmes increasingly unreliable as the distance frm the nest increases. “We realized that, whenever the ants in salt pans came clser t their nest, they suddenly pinpinted the nest hill frm several meters distance,” says Markus Knaden, a researcher at Max Planck Institute fr Chemical Eclgy. “This made us think that the hill serves as a nest-defining landmark.”
S Knaden and clleagues captured ants frm nests in the middle f salt pans and frm alng their shrelines. Only salt-pan nests had distinct hills, up t 40 centimeters tall, whereas the hills n shreline nests were lwer r barely nticeable. Next, the team remved any hills and placed the captured insects sme distance away frm their nests. Salt-pan ants struggled mre than shre ants t find hmes. Shre ants relied n the shreline fr guidance and weren’t affected by the hill remval, the researchers cncluded.
The team further cnducted anther study t see if desert ants were deliberately building a taller hill when their surrundings lacked any visible landmarks. S, the researchers remved the hills f 16 salt-pan nests and installed (安装) tw 50-centimeter-tall blcks near eight f them. The ther eight nests were left withut any artificial visual aid. After three days, the researchers fund that seven ants frm the unaided nests had rebuilt their hills. But nly tw ants frm the nests with man-made blcks nearby had bthered t rebuild.
“It implies that ants regularly assess the cmplexity f their envirnment and change their decisins based n their cnclusin,” says eclgist Judith Brnstein f the University f Arizna.
32．What aspect f ants is the recent study mainly abut?
A．Challenges f survival.B．Landmarks f habitats.
C．Intelligence f navigatin.D．Cmparisn f varieties.
33．What des the underlined wrd “pinpinted” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Explred.B．Recgnized.C．Climbed.D．Crssed.
34．Why did researchers set shreline ants in the experiment?
A．T bserve different ants’ reactins.B．T prve impacts f varius habitats.
C．T disturb desert ants’ navigatin system.D．T test anthills’ functins and significance.
35．What cnclusin abut desert ants can be drawn frm the fllw-up study?
A．Evaluate and make changes.B．Visual aid is a must.
C．Cperatin brings victry.D．N man-made blcks are used.

As the cncept f emtinal intelligence (EI) has gne glbal, we’ve watched prfessinals fail as they try t imprve their emtinal intelligence because they either dn’t knw where t fcus their effrts r they haven’t understd hw t imprve these skills n a practical level. In ur wrk cnsulting with cmpanies and caching leaders, we have fund that if yu’re lking t develp particular EI strengths, it helps t cnsider areas fr imprvement thers have identified alng with the gals yu want t achieve, and then t actively build habits in thse areas rather than simply relying n understanding them cnceptually.
The first step is t get a sense f hw yur self-perceptin (hw yu see yurself) differs frm yur reputatin (hw thers see yu); 36 . Fr example, mst f us think that we’re gd listeners, but very ften that’s really nt the case. Withut this external reality check, it will be difficult fr yu t identify the ways that yur actins affect yur perfrmance. Getting feedback frm thers can als prvide prf f the necessity f shifting ur behaviur and mtivatin t d s.
T give yu the best sense f where the differences lie between yur self-perceptin and reputatin, yu shuld use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes int accunt the multiple facets f EI; 37 . Secndly, when yu get yur feedback frm an assessment, let that infrm what yu want t imprve. But als cnsider what yur gals are. When it cmes t cultivating strengths in emtinal intelligence, 38 . Yur emtinal intelligence is s tied up in yur sense f self that being intrinsically mtivated t make the effrt matters mre when changing lng-standing habits than it des when simply learning a skill.
That means the areas that yu chse t actively wrk n shuld lie at the crssrads f the feedback yu’ve gtten and the areas that are mst imprtant t yur wn aspiratins; 39 as yu d the wrk f strengthening yur emtinal intelligence.
Once yu’ve determined which EI skills yu want t fcus n, identify specific actins that yu’ll take. If yu’re wrking n becming a better listener, fr example, yu might decide that when yu’re cnversing with smene yu’ll take the time t pause, listen t what they have t say, and check that yu understand befre yu reply. Keep it specific: 40 .
By starting t change yur rutine reactins, yu’ll be well n yur way t figuring ut the ld habits that aren’t serving yu well and transfrming them int new, imprved nes that d.
A．yu’re at a huge disadvantage if yu’re nly interested because thers said yu shuld be
B．bearing yur gals in mind is s helpful t imprve the psitive impact f yur current EI habits
C．yu shuld als take every pprtunity t practice the skill yu are develping, n matter hw small
D．understanding the impacts f yur EI habits relative t yur gals will keep yu ging ver the lng run
E．the key is t find ne that guarantees n persnal infrmatin f thse giving yu feedback will be leaked
F．hw thers see yu will t sme extent decide hw yu see thers and help yu becme a gd listener
G．this is true because we can be blind t hw we express and read the emtinal cmpnents f ur interactins

The expressin, “Everybdy’s ding it,” is very much at the center f the cncept f peer pressure. It is a scial influence applied n an individual in rder t get that persn t act r believe in a(n) 41 way as a larger grup. This influence can be negative r psitive, and can exist in bth large and small grups.
Peple are scial creatures by nature, and s it is hardly 42 that sme part f their self-respect cmes frm the apprval f thers. This instinct explains why the apprval f peers, and the fear f 43 , is such a pwerful frce in many peple’s lives. This instinct drives peple t dress ne way at hme and anther way at wrk, r t answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “Hw are yu?” even if it is nt necessarily true. There is a(n) 44 aspect t this: It helps sciety t functin efficiently, and encurages a general level f self-discipline that 45 day-t-day interactin between peple.
Fr certain individuals, seeking scial acceptance is s imprtant that it becmes a(n) 46 : in rder t satisfy the desire, they may g s far as t 47 their sense f right and wrng. Teens and yung adults may feel frced t use drugs, r jin gangs that 48 criminal behavir. Mature adults may smetimes feel 49 t cver up illegal activity at the cmpany where they wrk, r end up in debt because they are unable t hld back the desire t buy a huse r car that they can’t affrd in an effrt t 50 the peers.
Hwever, peer pressure is nt always negative. A student whse friends are gd at cntests may be 51 t wrk harder and get gd grades. Players n a sprts team may feel driven t play harder in rder t help the team win. This type f 52 can als get a friend ff drugs, r t help an adult take up a gd habit r drp a bad ne.
Althugh peer pressure is smetimes quite bvius, it can als be s 53 that a persn may nt even ntice that it is affecting his r her behavir. Fr this reasn, when making imprtant decisins, simply ging with a(n) 54 is risky. Instead, peple shuld seriusly cnsider why they feel drawn t taking a particular actin, and whether the real 55 is simply that everyne else is ding the same thing.

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。
Imagine fr a mment that yur unbrn child has a rare genetic disrder. Nt 56 at least vaguely familiar, such as sickle-cell anaemia r cystic fibrsis, but rather a cnditin 57 (bury) deep within the medical dictinary. Adrenleukdys trphy, maybe. Or Ehlers-Danls syndrme.
Wuld yu, when yur child is brn, want t knw abut it? If effective treatments were available, yu prbably wuld. But if nt? If the utcme were fatal, wuld yur interest in knwing abut it depend n whether yur newbrn had five years f life 58 (lk) frward t, r ten? Or 30?
Tday these questins are mstly hypthetical. Precisely because they are rare, such disrders are seldm nticed at birth. They manifest (显现) themselves nly gradually, and ften with unpredictable severity. But that may sn change. Twenty years after the first human genme 59 (map), the price f whle-genme sequencing has fallen t a pint 60 it culd, in rich cuntries at least, be ffered rutinely t newbrns. Parents will then have t decide exactly hw much they want t knw.
Early diagnsis brings with it the pssibility f early treatment. Mrever, sequencing the genmes f newbrns culd ffer a lifetime f returns. A patient’s genme may reveal 61 drugs will wrk best in his r her particular case fr cnditins such as ADHD, depressin and cancer. Cmbined with infrmatin abut smene’s way f life, it culd highlight easily neglected health risks such as cancers and cardivascular disease, leading t better preventive measures. A database f genmes, 62 (match) t living peple, wuld be a benefit t medical research. The fruits f that research, in turn, wuld make thse genmes mre useful t their wners as time ges n.
Such a pwerful new technlgy create new dangers. Widespread screening fr thusands f ptentially harmful genes may be cunterprductive: sme results may wrry parents unnecessarily, because sme genetic variatins, 63 ccasinally indicative f disease, are nt strngly s. Parents may nt want t unlck all the secrets that their newbrn’s genme might reveal. Sme may indeed prefer nt t knw abut cnditins that cannt be treated. Adult-nset illnesses pse a different dilemma — a reasnable psitin is that it 64 be up t the children themselves, nce grwn, t decide whether they want t lk at their genmic infrmatin. A further cncern is that data will nt be kept secure, and may be leaked r therwise misused 65 sme pint in the future.

A Little By
A little by selling magazines fr schl walked up t a huse that peple rarely visited. The huse was very ld and shabby and the wner hardly ever came ut. When he did cme ut, he wuld nt say hell t his neighbrs r passers-by but simply just glared at them.
The by kncked n the dr and waited, sweating frm fear f the ld man. The by’s parents tld him t stay away frm the huse, and a lt f ther neighbrhd children were tld the same thing frm their parents.
Dusk fund the by lingering n and hesitating what t d. As he was ready t walk away, the dr slwly pened. “What d yu want?” the ld man said impatiently. The little by was very afraid but he had a quta (定额) t meet fr schl with selling the magazines. S he gt up the curage and said, “Uh, Sir, I am selling these magazines and, uh, I was wndering if yu wuld like t buy ne frm me.”
The ld man just stared at the by withut a wrd. The by culd see inside the ld man’s huse and saw that he had dg figurines (小雕像) n the fireplace mantle. “D yu cllect dgs?” The little by asked. “Yes, I have many cllectins in my huse. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The by then felt srry fr the man, as it seemed that he was a very lnely sul.
“Well, I d have a magazine here fr cllectrs. It is perfect fr yu. I als have ne abut dgs since yu like dgs s much.” The ld man was ready t clse the dr n the by and said, “N, by. I dn’t need any magazines f any kind, nw gdbye.”
The little by was sad that he was nt ging t make his quta with the sale. He was als sad fr the ld man being s alne in the huse that he wned. The by went hme and then had an idea. He had a little dg figurine that he gt sme years ag frm an aunt. The figurine did nt mean nearly as much t him since he had a real live dg and a large family.
