阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
My memries f my father are divided int parts and shares. Alive, and then dead. Healthy, and then helpless. And further back in time, the first and mst divisin: Present and then absent; lving, and then indifferent.
He used t be a gd writer and lving father. When I was a 16-year-ld girl, he was fired frm his cmpany, a public, gssip-based dismissal that he wuld spend decades refusing respnsibility fr. This was the first crack that divided my relatinship with him int ples f befre and after. T escape his shame, he pushed away thse wh reminded him f it, first divrcing my mther, then alienating my sister and I.
As an adult, my relatinship with my father was ne f lw expectatins and high bundaries. He spent mst f his time travelling. But when he died f heart failure in August, I was kncked ff balance by the weight f the blw. I thught, after years f setting up delicate fences arund ur relatinship, that I had already begun letting g. His death delivered a realizatin: despite years f analyzing his cmplicated lve fr me, there were pieces f my father I never understd—until I fund my father’s ntebks in his cupbard.
In the ntebks, he ften cllected dcumentatin: train tickets frm Rme r a phtgraph f San Francisc’s Presctt Htel. But what he was als ding was ffering fatherly guidance, the kind I culd nly receive after he died. His life, in which what he had was never quite enugh, was eventually expsed. In his final decade, he realized he had built a castle fr himself upn sand and regret. Nw in his entries, I hear his vice. “Debaleh,” I hear him say, using his pet name fr me, “learn frm my mistakes.”
I read these pages amng my dad’s clthes, and wept. I hadn’t knwn that my father, t, lived with that familiar ache fr new hrizns in his heart, the ne that can nly be cmfrted by traveling.
34. Why did the authr’s father keep away frm his family?
A. They weren’t respnsible members.
B. He didn’t get n well with his wife.
C. Their presence recalled his sad experience.
D. They talked behind thers’ backs everywhere.
35. What advice did the authr’s father give her?
A. Writing a jurnal carefully.
B. Travelling mre fr relaxatin.
C. Aviding fllwing in his ftsteps.
D. Obeying father’s guidance thrughly.
36. What made the authr end up crying?
A. Finding her father’s clthes.
B. Getting t knw her late father.
C. Failing t lk fr new hrizns.
D. Knwing her father’s heart disease.

Living in a city is a well-knwn risk factr fr develping a mental disrder, while living clse t nature is largely beneficial fr mental health and the brain. A central brain regin, the amygdala （大脑杏仁核）invlved in stress prcessing, has been shwn t be less activated during stress in peple living in rural areas, cmpared t thse wh live in cities, hinting at the ptential benefits f nature. “But s far the hen-and-egg prblem culd nt be reslved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain r whether the particular individuals chse t live in rural r urban regins,” says Snja Sudimac.
T achieve causal evidence, the researchers frm the grup examined brain activity in regins invlved in stress prcessing in 63 healthy vlunteers befre and after a ne-hur walk in Grunewald frest r a shpping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature elicits beneficial effects n brain regins related t stress.
“The results supprt the previusly assumed psitive relatinship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study t prve the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regins remained stable and shwed n increases, which argues against a cmmnly held view that urban expsure causes additinal stress,” explains Simne Kühn, head f the grup.
The authrs shw that nature has a psitive impact n brain regins invlved in stress prcessing and that it can already be bserved after a ne-hur walk. This cntributes t the understanding f hw ur physical living envirnment affects brain and mental health. Even a shrt expsure t nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature culd serve as a preventive measure against develping mental health prblems and reducing the ptentially disadvantageus impact f the city n the brain.
In rder t investigate beneficial effects f nature in different ppulatins and age grups, the researchers are currently wrking n a study examining hw a ne-hur walk in natural versus urban envirnments impacts stress in mthers and their babies.
37. What des the hen-and-egg prblem mean by Snja Sudimac?
A. Living in rural areas actually affects brain activity.
B. Peple in cities tend t have a higher risk f mental prblems.
C. It’s unnecessary t wrk ut the cmplex issue f stress and health.
D. It’s hard t clarify the impact f living envirnment n mental health.
38. Hw did researchers cllect evidence fr the study?
A. By quting authritative experts.
B. By interviewing healthy vlunteers.
C. By researching n a previus thery.
D. By cmparing vlunteers’ amygdala activities.
39. What des the last paragraph mainly talk abut?
A. Benefits f a regular walk in nature.
B. The fcus f the fllw-up research.
C. An appeal fr living in urban regins.
D. Nature’s psitive effects n wmen and children.

In general, the sciety is becming ne f giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic（官僚主义的）management in which man becmes a small, well-iled cg in the machinery. The iling is dne with higher wages, well-equipped factries and piped music, and by psychlgists and “human-relatins” experts; yet all this iling des nt change the fact that man has becme pwerless, that he des nt whleheartedly participate in his wrk and he is bred with it. In fact, the blue-cllar and the white-cllar wrkers have becme ecnmic puppets wh dance t the tune f autmated machines and bureaucratic management.
The wrker and emplyee are anxius, seemingly because they might find themselves ut f a jb r they wuld say that they are unable t acquire any real satisfactin r interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die withut ever having cnfrnted the fundamental realities f human existence as emtinally and intellectually independent and prductive human beings.
Thse higher up n the scial ladder are n less anxius. Their lives are n less empty than thse f their subrdinates. They are even mre insecure in sme respects. They are in a highly cmpetitive race. T be prmted r t fall behind is nt a matter f salary but even mre a matter f self-respect. When they apply fr their first jb, they are tested fr intelligence as well as fr the right mixture f submissiveness and independence. Frm the mment n they are tested again and again by the psychlgists, fr whm testing is a big business, and by their superirs, wh judge their behavir, sciability, capacity t get alng, etc. This cnstant need t prve that ne is as gd as r better than ne’s fellw-cmpetitr creates cnstant anxiety and stress, the very causes f unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting a return t the pre-industrial mde f prductin r t nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly nt. Prblems are never slved by returning t a stage which ne has already utgrwn. I suggest transfrming the scial system frm a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal prductin and cnsumptin are ends in themselves int a humanist industrialism in which man and full develpment f his ptentialities -thse f all lve and f reasn- are the aims f scial arrangements. Prductin and cnsumptin shuld serve as means t this end, and shuld be prevented frm ruling man.
40. By “a small, well-iled cg in the machinery”, the authr expresses the idea that man is _________.
A. an essential part f sciety with irreplaceable functins
B. expected t wrk in reasnable harmny with the rest f sciety
C. an unimprtant cmpnent f sciety, thugh functining smthly
D. respnsible fr the smth running f sciety and business peratins
41. The real cause f the anxiety f the wrkers and emplyees is that _________.
A. they are filled with an verwhelming fear f being unemplyed
B. they dn’t have any genuine satisfactin r interest
C. they have t face the fundamental realities f human existence
D. they lack a sense f independence and prductivity
42. Which f the fllwing is clsest in meaning t the underlined wrd “submissiveness”?
A. cautin B. bedience C. cmmitment D. ptimism
43. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T intrduce the prductin mde f ur ancestrs.
B. T shw the prblematic situatin in sciety.
C. T argue fr full develpment f human ptentials.
D. T help peple escape prductin and cnsumptin.

There’s nthing like family. The peple we’re related t by bld and marriage are expected t be ur greatest surces f lve and supprt. T ften, hwever, ur interactins with family are filled with misunderstanding and resentment. Thse we shuld knw and be knwn by best, end up feeling like adversaries r strangers.
Family is where ur first and strngest emtinal memries are made, and that’s where they keep appearing. And this is why emtinal intelligence（EQ）succeeds where ther effrts at family harmny fail. 44 The suggestins ffered belw are transfrmed frm familiar reasnable advice, t highly effective methds fr bringing yur family ever clser.
Lk t yurself first. A family is a system made up f interdependent individuals, but that desn’t mean yu can blame yur family f rigin fr the way yu are tday 45 When yu act n the belief that yu have a right and bligatin t assert yur wn emtinal needs, yur family will ntice that yur emtinal independence benefits nt nly yu, but the whle family, and they may quickly fllw yur lead.
Recgnize that being clse desn’t mean being clnes. Smetimes family ties blind us t the uniqueness f thse we lve. Pride in the family cntinuum can make it easy t frget that. Yu can’t be expected t have the same talents as yur siblings, even thugh yu may lk a lt alike. 46
Cherish every stage f life in each family member. N matter hw well we understand that it can’t happen, we desperately want Mm and Dad t stay the way they are, and fr the kids t stay hme frever. 47 Accept the natural fear that yur parents’ aging evkes but use yur emtinal awareness and empathy t figure ut hw yu can cherish this mment fr its unique qualities. What can yu and yur parents share nw that wasn’t pssible in the past? Can yu keep having fun and make sure everyne still feels useful and wrthy in the family supprt system?
48 Fully accepting yur fear f change can make it easier t ask questins that yu may have cnsidered awkward in the past. Maybe yur parents are just waiting fr yur cue. Feel them ut. In a flexible, healthy family dynamic, change is just ne f the many pprtunities yu have t enrich ne anther.
A. Yur best hpe fr fixing any family prblem is t attend yur wn emtinal health.
B. Yu wn’t necessarily chse t fllw in parent’s ftsteps.
C. It’s als imprtant t keep yur awareness active with family.
D. The best t accept that fact emtinally, is t embrace change.
E. Peple all change, and yet many seem t nly see change in themselves.
F. If yu’re nt sure what will wrk, ask.
G. Active awareness and empathy tell us hw t respnd t ne anther’s needs.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域内作答。
If yu listen t the stream f articles and pdcasts telling us hw t becme a billinaire in 10 easy steps, yu might hld the belief that squeezing urselves dry each secnd f the day will bring happiness and success.
But this bsessin with prductivity is csting us. Even a car desn’t stay in the same gear the whle time. “We are nt machines,” says psychlgist Prfessr Drew Dawsn. “Perfrmance declines as a functin f time, f task and time f day.”
Instead f mments f bredm, where we might let ur minds wander and cme up with nvel slutins t prblems and nvel ways f thinking, we seek cnstant stimulatin - and have a lwered tlerance fr bredm as a result.
“It leads peple t a false assumptin that the wrld’s mst successful peple are literally making gd use f every single minute,” Dawsn says. “That’s a myth. We’re nt hardwired t act that way as humans, and it’s a gd recipe fr burnut.”
COVID-19, fr a variety f reasns, has led peple t questin and even pt ut f this myth. “Wh wants t lie n their deathbed ging, ‘I wish I’d been mre prductive’?” Dawsn says. “Pst-COVID, peple are starting t say, ‘what am I lsing cmpared t what am I gaining?’”
S, if nt mre prductivity, what shuld we be aiming fr?
·Get ur pririties straight.
A life spent chasing the state f being able t d everything is less meaningful than a life f fcusing n a few things that cunt. We can reflect n five things that matter mst t us and lead a life arund them. Once clear n them, we als becme clear n where t direct ur attentin and what t say “n” t.
·Enjy dwntime（停工期）fr its wn sake
Glrifying prductivity can blind us t the value f ther parts f ur lives, including bredm, cnnectin, creativity and play. But activities in ur lives dn’t need t always be prductive r wrthwhile--enjying an activity is reasn enugh t spend time n it.
We weren’t meant t be prductive all the time, s stp cnstantly struggling, and start chilling.
49. What des “bsessin with prductivity” refer t in the passage?
50. Hw has COVID-19 changed the situatin accrding t the passage?
51. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
It is mre meaningful t fcus n a few things that cunt in life, s we can reflect n five things in ur life t say “n” t.
52. D yu agree with the statement “enjying an activity is reasn enugh t spend time n it”? Why r why nt?（In abut 40 wrds）

But when he died f heart failure in August, I was kncked ff balance by the weight f the blw. I thught, after years f setting up delicate fences arund ur relatinship, that I had already begun letting g. His death delivered a realizatin: despite years f analyzing his cmplicated lve fr me, there were pieces f my father I never understd—until I fund my father’s ntebks in his cupbard.
In the ntebks, he ften cllected dcumentatin: train tickets frm Rme r a phtgraph f San Francisc’s Presctt Htel. But what he was als ding was ffering fatherly guidance, the kind I culd nly receive after he died. His life, in which what he had was never quite enugh, was eventually expsed. In his final decade, he realized he had built a castle fr himself upn sand and regret. Nw in his entries, I hear his vice. “Debaleh,” I hear him say, using his pet name fr me, “learn frm my mistakes.”
I read these pages amng my dad’s clthes, and wept. I hadn’t knwn that my father, t, lived with that familiar ache fr new hrizns in his heart, the ne that can nly be cmfrted by traveling.

Living in a city is a well-knwn risk factr fr develping a mental disrder, while living clse t nature is largely beneficial fr mental health and the brain. A central brain regin, the amygdala （大脑杏仁核）invlved in stress prcessing, has been shwn t be less activated during stress in peple living in rural areas, cmpared t thse wh live in cities, hinting at the ptential benefits f nature. “But s far the hen-and-egg prblem culd nt be reslved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain r whether the particular individuals chse t live in rural r urban regins,” says Snja Sudimac.
T achieve causal evidence, the researchers frm the grup examined brain activity in regins invlved in stress prcessing in 63 healthy vlunteers befre and after a ne-hur walk in Grunewald frest r a shpping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature elicits beneficial effects n brain regins related t stress.
“The results supprt the previusly assumed psitive relatinship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study t prve the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regins remained stable and shwed n increases, which argues against a cmmnly held view that urban expsure causes additinal stress,” explains Simne Kühn, head f the grup.
The authrs shw that nature has a psitive impact n brain regins invlved in stress prcessing and that it can already be bserved after a ne-hur walk. This cntributes t the understanding f hw ur physical living envirnment affects brain and mental health. Even a shrt expsure t nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature culd serve as a preventive measure against develping mental health prblems and reducing the ptentially disadvantageus impact f the city n the brain.
In rder t investigate beneficial effects f nature in different ppulatins and age grups, the researchers are currently wrking n a study examining hw a ne-hur walk in natural versus urban envirnments impacts stress in mthers and their babies.
37. What des the hen-and-egg prblem mean by Snja Sudimac?
A. Living in rural areas actually affects brain activity.
B. Peple in cities tend t have a higher risk f mental prblems.
C. It’s unnecessary t wrk ut the cmplex issue f stress and health.
D. It’s hard t clarify the impact f living envirnment n mental health.
38. Hw did researchers cllect evidence fr the study?
A. By quting authritative experts.
B. By interviewing healthy vlunteers.
C. By researching n a previus thery.
D. By cmparing vlunteers’ amygdala activities.
39. What des the last paragraph mainly talk abut?
A. Benefits f a regular walk in nature.
B. The fcus f the fllw-up research.
C. An appeal fr living in urban regins.
D. Nature’s psitive effects n wmen and children.

In general, the sciety is becming ne f giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic（官僚主义的）management in which man becmes a small, well-iled cg in the machinery. The iling is dne with higher wages, well-equipped factries and piped music, and by psychlgists and “human-relatins” experts; yet all this iling des nt change the fact that man has becme pwerless, that he des nt whleheartedly participate in his wrk and he is bred with it. In fact, the blue-cllar and the white-cllar wrkers have becme ecnmic puppets wh dance t the tune f autmated machines and bureaucratic management.
The wrker and emplyee are anxius, seemingly because they might find themselves ut f a jb r they wuld say that they are unable t acquire any real satisfactin r interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die withut ever having cnfrnted the fundamental realities f human existence as emtinally and intellectually independent and prductive human beings.
Thse higher up n the scial ladder are n less anxius. Their lives are n less empty than thse f their subrdinates. They are even mre insecure in sme respects. They are in a highly cmpetitive race. T be prmted r t fall behind is nt a matter f salary but even mre a matter f self-respect. When they apply fr their first jb, they are tested fr intelligence as well as fr the right mixture f submissiveness and independence. Frm the mment n they are tested again and again by the psychlgists, fr whm testing is a big business, and by their superirs, wh judge their behavir, sciability, capacity t get alng, etc. This cnstant need t prve that ne is as gd as r better than ne’s fellw-cmpetitr creates cnstant anxiety and stress, the very causes f unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting a return t the pre-industrial mde f prductin r t nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly nt. Prblems are never slved by returning t a stage which ne has already utgrwn. I suggest transfrming the scial system frm a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal prductin and cnsumptin are ends in themselves int a humanist industrialism in which man and full develpment f his ptentialities -thse f all lve and f reasn- are the aims f scial arrangements. Prductin and cnsumptin shuld serve as means t this end, and shuld be prevented frm ruling man.
40. By “a small, well-iled cg in the machinery”, the authr expresses the idea that man is _________.
A. an essential part f sciety with irreplaceable functins
B. expected t wrk in reasnable harmny with the rest f sciety
C. an unimprtant cmpnent f sciety, thugh functining smthly
D. respnsible fr the smth running f sciety and business peratins
41. The real cause f the anxiety f the wrkers and emplyees is that _________.
A. they are filled with an verwhelming fear f being unemplyed
B. they dn’t have any genuine satisfactin r interest
C. they have t face the fundamental realities f human existence
D. they lack a sense f independence and prductivity
42. Which f the fllwing is clsest in meaning t the underlined wrd “submissiveness”?
A. cautin B. bedience C. cmmitment D. ptimism
43. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T intrduce the prductin mde f ur ancestrs.
B. T shw the prblematic situatin in sciety.
C. T argue fr full develpment f human ptentials.
D. T help peple escape prductin and cnsumptin.

There’s nthing like family. The peple we’re related t by bld and marriage are expected t be ur greatest surces f lve and supprt. T ften, hwever, ur interactins with family are filled with misunderstanding and resentment. Thse we shuld knw and be knwn by best, end up feeling like adversaries r strangers.
Family is where ur first and strngest emtinal memries are made, and that’s where they keep appearing. And this is why emtinal intelligence（EQ）succeeds where ther effrts at family harmny fail. 44 The suggestins ffered belw are transfrmed frm familiar reasnable advice, t highly effective methds fr bringing yur family ever clser.
Lk t yurself first. A family is a system made up f interdependent individuals, but that desn’t mean yu can blame yur family f rigin fr the way yu are tday 45 When yu act n the belief that yu have a right and bligatin t assert yur wn emtinal needs, yur family will ntice that yur emtinal independence benefits nt nly yu, but the whle family, and they may quickly fllw yur lead.
Recgnize that being clse desn’t mean being clnes. Smetimes family ties blind us t the uniqueness f thse we lve. Pride in the family cntinuum can make it easy t frget that. Yu can’t be expected t have the same talents as yur siblings, even thugh yu may lk a lt alike. 46
Cherish every stage f life in each family member. N matter hw well we understand that it can’t happen, we desperately want Mm and Dad t stay the way they are, and fr the kids t stay hme frever. 47 Accept the natural fear that yur parents’ aging evkes but use yur emtinal awareness and empathy t figure ut hw yu can cherish this mment fr its unique qualities. What can yu and yur parents share nw that wasn’t pssible in the past? Can yu keep having fun and make sure everyne still feels useful and wrthy in the family supprt system?
48 Fully accepting yur fear f change can make it easier t ask questins that yu may have cnsidered awkward in the past. Maybe yur parents are just waiting fr yur cue. Feel them ut. In a flexible, healthy family dynamic, change is just ne f the many pprtunities yu have t enrich ne anther.
A. Yur best hpe fr fixing any family prblem is t attend yur wn emtinal health.
B. Yu wn’t necessarily chse t fllw in parent’s ftsteps.
C. It’s als imprtant t keep yur awareness active with family.
D. The best t accept that fact emtinally, is t embrace change.
E. Peple all change, and yet many seem t nly see change in themselves.
F. If yu’re nt sure what will wrk, ask.
G. Active awareness and empathy tell us hw t respnd t ne anther’s needs.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域内作答。
If yu listen t the stream f articles and pdcasts telling us hw t becme a billinaire in 10 easy steps, yu might hld the belief that squeezing urselves dry each secnd f the day will bring happiness and success.
But this bsessin with prductivity is csting us. Even a car desn’t stay in the same gear the whle time. “We are nt machines,” says psychlgist Prfessr Drew Dawsn. “Perfrmance declines as a functin f time, f task and time f day.”
Instead f mments f bredm, where we might let ur minds wander and cme up with nvel slutins t prblems and nvel ways f thinking, we seek cnstant stimulatin - and have a lwered tlerance fr bredm as a result.
“It leads peple t a false assumptin that the wrld’s mst successful peple are literally making gd use f every single minute,” Dawsn says. “That’s a myth. We’re nt hardwired t act that way as humans, and it’s a gd recipe fr burnut.”
COVID-19, fr a variety f reasns, has led peple t questin and even pt ut f this myth. “Wh wants t lie n their deathbed ging, ‘I wish I’d been mre prductive’?” Dawsn says. “Pst-COVID, peple are starting t say, ‘what am I lsing cmpared t what am I gaining?’”
S, if nt mre prductivity, what shuld we be aiming fr?
·Get ur pririties straight.
A life spent chasing the state f being able t d everything is less meaningful than a life f fcusing n a few things that cunt. We can reflect n five things that matter mst t us and lead a life arund them. Once clear n them, we als becme clear n where t direct ur attentin and what t say “n” t.
·Enjy dwntime（停工期）fr its wn sake
Glrifying prductivity can blind us t the value f ther parts f ur lives, including bredm, cnnectin, creativity and play. But activities in ur lives dn’t need t always be prductive r wrthwhile--enjying an activity is reasn enugh t spend time n it.
We weren’t meant t be prductive all the time, s stp cnstantly struggling, and start chilling.
49. What des “bsessin with prductivity” refer t in the passage?
50. Hw has COVID-19 changed the situatin accrding t the passage?
51. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
It is mre meaningful t fcus n a few things that cunt in life, s we can reflect n five things in ur life t say “n” t.
52. D yu agree with the statement “enjying an activity is reasn enugh t spend time n it”? Why r why nt?（In abut 40 wrds）
