When I think f fall, I autmatically picture Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal walking thrugh a leaf-strewn Central Park and talk abut Sally's ultimate sexual fantasy.

Autumn in New Yrk (2000)

The Ryal Tenenhaums (2001)
There's simply n film character wh represents the cncept f autumn quite like Margt Tenenbaum. Her seasnally apprpriate clipped hair, charming eyes, and wardrbe f primarily brwns all but scream ut the reasn fr the seasn; and while signature fur cat might seem mre winter near, her fndness fr pairing it with Lacste pl dresses is fall all the way. In what ther seasn can yu wear a cat with a dress, lgically speaking?
Mna Lisa Smile(2003)
I'm actually an enthusiastic advcate f watching this Julia Rberts/Julia Stiles/Kirsten Dunst trifecta(三强联袂) in any seasn, but watching it in fall will make yu desire a well-knitted sweater and a therms f tea t take alng with yu while yu cheer fr the bys at the Harvard-Yale game.

It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cld and snw which surrunded us. My husband was the first t shift his cnsciusness. He dressed accrdingly and annunced that he was ging utside t build a giant snwman.
At first he std alne, piling massive amunts f snw. Sn after a neighbr jined in my husband's pursuit t embrace the pprtunity the winter presented. Maintaining less than desirable attitude, we unwillingly put n ur snw equipment and headed utside. It wasn't lng befre we were smiling and enjying the snw that Mther Nature had prvided. Others came t ur yard ne by ne t give a hand in the making f ur giant snwman.
In the end we all std back, amazed at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet arund at the base and decrated with many husehld items supplied by varius families. There he std, ur glrius, enrmus snwman.
Peple drve by and smiled. Sme even stpped t enjy his existence. The spirit that went int creating him seemed t catch n and we all enjyed it while the cld temperatures permitted.
With the passing f time, the spring made its way back int ur yard and the snwman changed frm cnsiderably. In a final effrt t save what we created fr just a little bit lnger, smebdy stpped by and changed the snwman's remains t lk like a rabbit.
As I prepared fr the start f anther week, I decided t check my email befre ging t bed. I fund a curius message that cntained the subject line: enjy the snwman. I decided t read the message even thugh I did nt recgnize wh sent it. The wrds it cntained melted my heart.
The email said: …yur neighbr lk sn in disbelief! I am sure yu peple are enjying the sunds and smells, alng with sights f spring. The energy displayed in Mr. Snwman r Ms, is filled with jyus energy. Yu and yur family keep it up, as this is what the wrld needs nw. Lve sweet lve. Mre pwer t yu and yur lved nes, keep sharing with the wrld arund.
Perhaps it was mre than snwman we built that day. I'd like t agree that it was. The message seems clear. Our circumstances will turn ut t be what we make f them. The pssibilities are endless and the chice is urs.

In a respnse t the threat psed by rising sea levels, Suth Krea shwed the wrld's first mdel f sustainable flating city in Busan.
“Sea level rise pses a threat fr sme small islands and sme lw-lying casts,” says a recent reprt. The glbal sea level has risen by eight t nine inches since 1880. What's mre frightening is that ne-third f the rise in sea level happened in the last 25 years.
The flating city aims t prvide technlgy fr castal cities facing severe land shrtages that are cmbined by climatic threats. The city will serve as the “wrld’s first mdel sustainable flating city” aiming t be “a structure that rises with the sea” supplying its wn fd, energy and water.
The flating city has six cmbined systems: zer waste and circular systems, clsed-lp water systems, fd, net-zer energy, innvative mvement, and castal habitat regeneratin. These intercnnected systems will generate 100 percent f the required energy thrugh flating and rftp phtvltaic panels(光伏板).
Each neighbrhd will treat and refill its wn water, prcess and recycle resurces, and prvide innvative urban agriculture. The flating city is the wrld's first mdel f a sustainable flating cmmunity. The intercnnected neighbrhds spread acrss 6.3 hectares that can hld a cmmunity f12,000 peple. Starting frm a cmmunity f 3 platfrms with 12,000 residents and visitrs, it has the ptential t expand t mre than 20 platfrms. The flating platfrms have dzens f prductive statins with phtvltaic panels and greenhuses that can expand and cntract(收缩) ver time based n the city's needs.
“I take seriusly ur cmmitment ‘ The First t the Future’. Our cmmn future is at risk in the face f sea level rise and its impact n castal cities,” said Busan Mayr Park Heng-jn, wh has set a schedule, including turning Busan int a green smart city and cmpete fr Wrld Exp 2030.
This is as frightening as it is exciting t reach such an achievement, but living in a city that is like the cmmunities where peple try t survive in the mvie Water Wrld is kind f unhappy.
32．Why des Suth Krea build the flating city?
A. T deal with the sea level rise.B. T develp the sustainable energy.
C. T increase the land t grw plants.D. T help reduce the glbal temperature.
33．What can we knw abut the flating city?
A. It desn't need agriculture.B. It has six separate systems.
C. It prduces energy by rftp.D. It can prvide almst everything by itself.
34．What is Paragraph 5 mainly abut?
A. Hw the flating city will perate in its way.
B. Hw many peple the flating city will hld.
C. Hw the flating city will prduce its energy.
D. Hw the flating city will recycle its resurces.
35．What might be the best title fr the passage?
A. Busan witnesses sea level rise.B. Rising sea level threatens Busan.
C. Living in a flating city is exciting.D. The first flating city is n the way.

Eight ’clck n a May mrning, and Mary, my 17-year-ld daughter, was in ur study upstairs. It had served as her classrm ever since schls mved t remte learning due t the COVID-19.
Frm the kitchen, I listened t the sund f her tapping n the laptp r her cmmunicating in their Ggle Meet sessin s with her friends and teachers. I resisted the desire t check n her. Way t ften, I wuld find Mary texting friends and cmmenting n their Snapchat and Instagram psts abut the fun they were having tgether. I felt it safer nt t care. After all, we'd barely left the huse fr 10 weeks straight.
“Mm, everyne is hanging ut tday!” Mary's vice came frm upstairs. “Why can't I?”I went up the stairs. Mary was lying n the flr, her laptp, schl iPad and cell phne in frnt f her. “It's unfair,” she said. “I have n ne I can be with. I can't wait until I'm 18. and can d what I want.”
We'd had this cnversatin befre. Still, I culdn't help but feel srry fr her. I was sick f islating(隔离) t. Even thugh Mary and I were at hme tgether mre than we had been in years, we might as well have been living in separate wrlds.
“Wanna watch Netflix later?” I asked. “Bake sme ckies?” “N, thanks.” Mary shk her head, as if the idea f ding smething tgether was quite beynd her. I was used t Mary's rejectin, but it still hurt. Teenage independence is healthy, but I wrried that if I didn't find a way t bnd with my girl sn, I might never be clse with her again. She'd be 18 in the fall and had already cnvinced herself she didn't need me anymre. Maybe she was right. N matter what I did, I culdn't seem t reach her. That evening, I lgged nt Facebk and saw a friend's family playing with their new kitten tgether. My mind went back t the difficult perid when I was in high schl and ur family mved t the new city. It was a gray tabby(虎斑猫) with which Mm surprised me that brightened my days and gt me thrugh that difficult, lnely time.

36．答案：DFGAE
解析：本文讲述了我们人类大脑对身体的感知和了解基于我们触觉，但可能不像自己想象的那么了解。
①本选项承接上文，回答了“hw well d we actually knw ur hands?”；通过第2段中“Hw did they d? Nt that well.”及后文的实验得知，我们人类对我们的手并非了如指掌。
②本题所在的第 2 段主要介绍 Lng 的实验发现：人们对自己手（包括手指）的不甚了解。该空后句 “（实验中）当找大拇指时人们最准确，然而找其它手指时不是很准确” 正好对选项 A“他们认为手指比实际长度要短” 及该空前句“自己的手比实际的要宽” 做了解释。
③第 3 段进一步解释我们对身体感知与触觉有关。本题与下文形成因果关系。“我们的大脑通过其形成的地图可以知道我们身体的大小和形状，因此实验的目的就是要找到这些地图。” 且下文中的“thse maps”与 G 项中的 maps 是同词复现。
④最后一段解释大脑地图的构建基于触觉，且与身体部位的神经多少有关。本题位于段首，是本段中心句。“身体部位的神经越多，该部位在大脑地图中就显得越大。”
⑤选 E。本题承上启下，通过举例说明身体部位神经越多，大脑地图构建的图像越大。

52．答案：①t g②absence③published④t⑤unavidably⑥living⑦what⑧have adapted⑨a⑩unless
解析：①考察非谓语动词做补语， frce sb t d。
②考察名词变形 absent- absence。
③考察非谓语动词做后置定语， 与 study 之间产生动宾关系， 因此使用过去分词做定语。
④考察动词搭配，apply ... t...。
⑤考察形容词变副词， 修饰动词 threaten。
⑥考察非谓语动词做后置定语， 与被修饰词 bears 之间是主动关系， 因此使用现在分词 living。
⑦考察名词性从句的用法， 动词 use 后面的宾语从句缺少主语， 用连接代词 what 引导。
⑧考察谓语动词的时态， 后面的时间状语是 ver the past years, 所以应该使用现在完成时。
⑨考察冠词的用法， 此处的 a scientist in...作为 Steve Armstrup 的同位语， 没有特指， 所以要使用不定冠词。
⑩考察状语从句的连词，和前文的逻辑关系相反，所以需要使用 unless 表“除非，如果不”的意思。
