W: Wow, thank you for telling me. Anything else I should know?
M: Remember to report work to the manager every month.

【原文】When most of us think about taking a language course, we’re picturing a classroom full of shaky desks and chalkboard dust, plus a high school fee. But if you are not sure about stepping back into the classroom or paying high fees, why not try a language learning app — FluentU.
Some features set FluentU apart from the others. The first is the wide range of available contents: movies, news, documentaries, cartoons, music videos or whatever else you like to watch.
The second is that it uses real-world videos. Instead of producing some slowly-spoken and clearly-pronounced videos for learners, FluentU directs you to video content in real-world circumstances — the way that native speakers actually use them.
The best feature is that the app allows users to get some of the specific numbers of lessons for free, so beginners can learn a basic language using this app for free.
FluentU is sure to leave you with nothing but effective and efficient learning. It’s already hand-picked the best videos for you and organized them by level and topic. All you have to do is choose any video that interests you to get started!

If a president, a philosopher, and one of the best-selling writers credited the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too? What if the secret was something you already knew how to do? In fact, you probably do it every day. Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: "It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth." Thomas Jefferson: "Walking is the best possible exercise." Charles Dickens: "If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and die."
Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside-compared with on a treadmill（跑步机）-produces the most novel and highest-quality ideas.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. Our creative thinking is triggered（触发）by physical movement, which is exactly why walking-with your dog, a friend, or alone-feeds creative thinking.
The scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Breaking your routine with a walk can be a catalyst for fresh understanding of problems or projects. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing. Being inside, you're more likely to be lifeless, which means you don't have enough energy to wonder or create.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking? Involve yourself more closely in your surroundings. Tum off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in puddle（小水坑）.
24. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By providing background. B. By borrowing phrases from great minds.
C. By giving definition. D. By presenting well-known examples.
25. The underlined word in paragraph 4 means something ________.
A. causing a change B. stopping progress
C. catching eyes D. interrupting creativity
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Nature exploration improves fitness.
B. Walking on a treadmill brings more energy.
C. Working indoors makes people less creative.
D. Familiar surroundings encourage novel ideas.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Exercise in Nature. B. Train Your Brain.
C. Develop Your Creativity. D. Walk for Wonder.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了走路对于创造力的的激发与思维的发散所具有的重大意义。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: "It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth." Thomas Jefferson: "Walking is the best possible exercise." Charles Dickens: "If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and die."”（弗里德里希·尼采写道： “只有从散步中获得的想法才有价值。”托马斯·杰弗逊说: “散步是最好的运动。”查尔斯 · 狄更斯: “如果我不能走得又快又远，我想我会爆炸然后死掉 ”）通过引用一些名人的话，所以可推知作者是通过列举名人名言介绍了主题。选项B.“By borrowing phrases from great minds.”（借用伟大人物的话。）与文意一致，故选B。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing. Being inside, you're more likely to be lifeless, which means you don't have enough energy to wonder or create.”（只要走出去，你就走出了你熟悉的环境和你的舒适区，如果你想打开你的头脑，接受新的可能性，这是必要的。你可以走过一个绿树成荫的街区。你可以走过公园，看到人们开玩笑或鸟儿歌唱。身处其中，你更有可能毫无生气，也就是说你没有足够的精力去探索和创造。）讲到了散步带来的好处，所以划线词所在句的含义为 :散步对于你获得对新问题的新认识是推进剂，是催化剂。选项A.“ causing a change”(带来改变)，符合题意，故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“ Being inside, you're more likely to be lifeless, which means you don't have enough energy to wonder or create.”（身处其中，你更有可能毫无生气，也就是说你没有足够的精力去探索和创造。）可知，当你身处室内时，会使你没有精力去探索和创造。选项C.“Working indoors makes people less creative.”（在室内工作会降低人们的创造力。）与文意相符，故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: "It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth." Thomas Jefferson: "Walking is the best possible exercise." Charles Dickens: "If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and die."”（弗里德里希·尼采写道： “只有从散步中获得的想法才有价值。”托马斯·杰弗逊说: “散步是最好的运动。”查尔斯 · 狄更斯: “如果我不能走得又快又远，我想我会爆炸然后死掉”）可知，作者引用了名人的话来说明散步的好处。进而在下文围绕在大自然中散步的好处，散步是你获得对新问题的新认识是推进剂，是催化剂。由此可推断，本文主要讲述了走路对于创造力的的激发与思维的发散的好处。即散步可以带来奇迹。选项D.“Walk for Wonder.”（散步寻找奇迹。）符合题意，故选D。
C
The Tokyo Olympics have been postponed until 2021. That delay offers a chance for reflection. The International Olympic Committee wants to make the games more popular with young people. To that end, it is introducing new events, such as skateboarding, surfing and climbing. Why not go further and let national teams compete at video games? Electronic sports such as "Fortnite", are vastly more popular than strange Olympic sports like curling（冰壶）. In fact, they are more appealing than most mainstream sports. Only 28% of British boys aged 16-19 watch any traditional live sports; 57% play video games.
Some may complain that e-sports are not proper sports. Many parents, observing their teenagers sitting on the sofa all day shouting "Quick, pass me the shotgun!" at a screen, would agree. Yet video games are highly competitive, with professional teams that play to packed stadiums. There are perhaps only 200 tennis stars in the world who can make a living from playing in major competitions. By contrast, "League of Legends", a fantasy game played by teams of five, supports over 1,000 on good wages. Its World Championship final last year was watched by 44 million people.
Those against e-sports offer moral objections, too. They are addictive. Prince Harry has called for "Fortnite" to be banned for this reason. They are violent. At a time of global disharmony, it is bad idea to make virtual（虚拟的）killing an Olympic sport. The Olympics aim to promote peace.
Neither of these arguments is convincing. The idea that an activity, rather than material, can be addictive is controversial among doctors, as is the existence of a causal（因果的）link between gaming and violence. And the belief that warlike sports have no place in the Olympics is hard to agree with history. Wrestling was introduced in 708 BC. It is still there.
28. Why is the International Olympic Committee bringing in new events?
A. To replace mainstream sports. B. To attract more young people.
C. To make up for the delay. D. To show innovations.
29. What are the figures in Paragraph 2 intended to show?
A. E-sports are proper games. B. Tennis has declined greatly.
C. Tennis players' salary is lower. D. E-sport players have achieved a lot.
30. How does the author feel towards the causal link between gaming and violence?
A. Positive. B. Skeptical.
C. Unconcerned. D. Discouraged.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce how e-sports develop.
B. To show what benefits e-sports can bring.
C. To explain why young people like playing e-sports.
D. To argue e-sports can be included in the Olympics.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章解释了一些人们对电子竞技的质疑与偏见，告诉人们电子竞技是可以作为奥运项目的。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第三、四句“ The International Olympic Committee wants to make the games more popular with young people. To that end, it is introducing new events, such as skateboarding, surfing and climbing. ”（国际奥委会想让奥运会更受年轻人的欢迎。为了达到这个目的，它引入了一些新的活动，比如滑板、冲浪和攀岩。）可知，为了想让奥运会更受年轻人的欢迎，国际奥委会引入了一些新的活动。选项B与文意一致，故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Some may complain that e-sports are not proper sports.”可知，有些人可能会抱怨电子竞技不是正规的运动，紧接着就用数据证明这种观点是错误的，即：电子竞技是正规的竞技项目。选项A符合文意，故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The idea that an activity, rather than material, can be addictive is controversial among doctors, as is the existence of a causal（因果的）link between gaming and violence. And the belief that warlike sports have no place in the Olympics is hard to agree with history. ”（一种活动，而不是物质，会使人上瘾的观点在医生中引起了争议，就像游戏和暴力之间存在因果关系一样。认为好战的体育运动在奥运会上没有位置的观点，很难与历史相一致。）此处“controversial”，意为“有争议的”可知，作者对此是持怀疑的态度。选项B符合题意，故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“ Why not go further and let national teams compete at video games?”（为什么不更进一步，让国家队参加电子游戏比赛？）、第二段第一句“Some may complain that e-sports are not proper sports.”（有些人可能会抱怨电子竞技不是正规的运动。）、第三段“Those against e-sports offer moral objections, too. ”（那些反对电子竞技的人也提出了道德上的反对。）以及最后一段中“Neither of these arguments is convincing. ”（这两个论点都不能令人信服。）可知，文章解释了一些人们对电子竞技的质疑与偏见，告诉人们电子竞技是可以作为奥运项目的。选项D.“To argue e-sports can be included in the Olympics.”（论证电子竞技能否被纳入奥运会。）与文意相符，故选D。
D
A 293-million-mile journey of the NASA Perseverance rover（探测器）to Mars: ended successfully on February 18, 2021, with a picture-perfect landing inside the Jezero Crater. The car-sized, six-wheeled rover, nicknamed Percy is the US space agency's biggest and most advanced explorer to date. Its primary mission is to search for signs of ancient microbial（微生物的）life on Mars.
Landing on Mars is extremely tricky. The Red Planet's gravitational pull causes approaching spacecraft to go faster to high speeds, while its thin atmosphere-just 1 percent that of Earth's-does little to help slow it down as it approaches the surface.
The scientists had to reduce Percy's 12,000 mph speed to a safe landing speed of less than five mph-in just six and a half minutes. The target entry angle also had to be a precise 12 degrees-any steeper, and the spacecraft would burn up; any flatter, and it would get lost in space. It is no wonder that the final approach is often referred to as the "seven minutes of terror."
Upon attaining a manageable speed, Percy briefly flew over the Martian surface to seek out the perfect landing spot. Its complex map-reading system rapidly scanned the area and matched it with maps in its database to find the best location.
The NASA scientists will spend the next two months testing Percy's scientific instruments. Once ready, the rover will begin to carry out its mission.
"Perseverance is the smartest robot ever made but confirming that microbial life once existed carries an unusually large burden of proof," said Lori Glaze, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division. "While we'll learn a lot with the great instruments we have aboard the rover, it may very well require the far more well-equipped laboratories and delicate instruments back here on Earth to tell us whether our samples（样本）carry evidence that Mars once harbored life."
32. What is the extraordinary challenge for the rover to land on Mars?
A. The speed reduction. B. The atmosphere analysis.
C. The location search. D. The time management.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Ways to find the precise entry angle.
B. Consequences of wrong entry degree.
C. Factors to survive "the seven minutes".
D. Reasons for the necessity of speed reducing.
34. What does "it" refer to in paragraph 4?
A. The spot. B. The area. C. The system. D. The surface.
35. What can be inferred from Lori Glaze's words?
A. Instruments aboard the rover are not quite reliable.
B. Perseverance is able to collect enough evidence needed.
C. Man still has long way to go to prove life was on Mars.
D. Samples of Mars will be returned soon to our labs on the earth.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国航天局“毅力号”火星探测器成功登陆火星。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Red Planet's gravitational pull causes approaching spacecraft to go faster to high speeds while its thin atmosphere-just 1 percent that of Earth's-does little to help slow it down as it approaches the surface.”（这颗红色行星的引力使接近的宇宙飞船以更快的速度高速飞行，而它稀薄的大气层——只有地球大气层的1%——在它接近表面时几乎无助于减缓它的速度。）可知，宇宙飞船在火星上着陆时，减缓它的速度是非常重要的。选项A.“The speed reduction.”（减速）与文意一致，故选A。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The scientists had to reduce Percy's 12,000 mph speed to a safe landing speed of less than five mph-in just six and a half minutes.The target entry angle also had to be a precise 12 degrees-any steeper, and the spacecraft would burn up; any flatter, and it would get lost in space. ”（科学家们不得不将毅力号的12000英里每小时的安全着陆速度降低到5英里每小时以下——仅仅需要6.5分钟。目标进入角度也必须精确到12度，再陡一点，飞船就会燃烧，再平一点，飞船就会在太空中迷失。）最后一句“It is no wonder that the final approach is often referred to as the "seven minutes of terror."”（难怪最后的接近通常被称为”恐怖七分钟”）可以推知，本段主要描述的是影响“恐怖七分钟”的因素。选项C.“Factors to survive "the seven minutes".”（7分钟内存活下来的因素。）与文意相符，故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。结合it前的“scanned the area and matched”及之后的“with maps in its database to find the best location”可知，it 此处指代的为“the area”，意为“扫描该地区，并与其数据库中的地图进行匹配来找到最佳着陆点”，选项B符合题意，故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Perseverance is the smartest robot ever made, but confirming that microbial life once existed carries an unusually large burden of proof,”（“毅力号”是有史以来最聪明的机器人，但是要证实微生物曾经存在过却需要大量的证据。）及“While we'll learn a lot with the great instruments we have aboard the rover, it may very well require the far more well-equipped laboratories and delicate instruments back here on Earth to tell us whether our samples（样本）carry evidence that Mars once harbored life”（虽然我们可以从火星车上的仪器上学到很多东西，但是这很可能需要地球上装备更好的实验室和精密仪器来告诉我们，我们的样本是否携带火星曾经孕育过生命的证据。）可以推知，要证明火星上是否曾经孕育过生命，我们需要大量的证据、更好的实验室装备和精密仪器。选项C.“Man still has long way to go to prove life was on Mars.”（要证明火星上有生命，人类还有很长的路要走。）与文意相符，故选C。

Unhealthy perfectionists, however, are never satisfied with what they achieve. ____37____ They may experience fear of failure, anxiety and other painful emotions.
____38____ According to a 2011 research, perfectionism is linked to health issues such as eating disorders and depression. Perfectionism can also seriously impact your creativity. This is because perfectionism can prevent you from leaving your comfort zone and taking risks. ____39____ You may avoid starting a new project until you've found the best way to approach it. You might also get caught up in minor details or repeat tasks that have already been completed. As a result, this wastes time that could have been spent on more important tasks.
If you think that you have a problem with perfectionism, start by setting realistic goals. Think about your most important life and career goals. ____40____ Not only will this make it easier to reach your objectives, but you'll also experience the thrill of achieving these smaller goals.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了过度完美主义的一些危害以及克服完美主义的办法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Have you ever been labeled "perfectionist"? Or do you consider yourself to be one? It's inviting to see perfectionism as a desirable or positive quality.(你是否曾被贴上“完美主义者”的标签？还是你认为自己就是一名完美主义者？这很容易让人把完美主义视为一种可取的或积极的品质)”结合后文主要论述了严重完美主义的弊端，故E选项“事实上，严重的完美主义可能弊大于利”符合语境，故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Healthy perfectionists want to develop their skills continually. Their standards are always rising, and they approach work with optimism, pleasure and a desire to improve. Unhealthy perfectionists, however, are never satisfied with what they achieve.(健康的完美主义者希望不断发展他们的技能。他们的标准一直在提高，他们以乐观、快乐和提高的愿望来对待工作。然而，不健康的完美主义者从不满足于自己的成就)”以及后文“They may experience fear of failure, anxiety and other painful emotions.(他们可能会经历对失败的恐惧、焦虑和其他痛苦的情绪)”可知，上文提到了不健康的完美主义者的表现，故本句应为承接上文，进一步列举不健康完美主义者的表现，A选项中they对应上文中Unhealthy perfectionists。故A选项“如果有不完美的东西，他们会拒绝”符合语境，故选A。
【38题详解】
根据后文“According to a 2011 research, perfectionism is linked to health issues such as eating disorders and depression. Perfectionism can also seriously impact your creativity. This is because perfectionism can prevent you from leaving your comfort zone and taking risks.(根据2011年的一项研究，完美主义与饮食失调和抑郁症等健康问题有关。完美主义也会严重影响你的创造力。这是因为完美主义会阻止你离开你的舒适区和冒险)”可知，后文列举了一些完美主义在饮食、创造力等方面的问题，可推测本句在总结：完美主义会在很多方面伤害你。故G选项“当完美主义失控时，它会在很多方面伤害你”符合语境，故选G。
【39题详解】
根据后文“You may avoid starting a new project until you've found the best way to approach it. You might also get caught up in minor details or repeat tasks that have already been completed. As a result, this wastes time that could have been spent on more important tasks.(你可能会避免开始一个新项目，直到你找到了最好的方法。你也可能会陷入一些小细节或重复已经完成的任务中。结果，这浪费了本可以花在更重要任务上的时间)”可知，后文主要论述了完美主义因为过于追求完美，浪费本可以花在更重要任务上的时间，即在说明完美主义会损害效率的问题。故C选项“完美主义也会损害你的效率”符合语境，故选C。
【40题详解】
根据上文“If you think that you have a problem with perfectionism, start by setting realistic goals. Think about your most important life and career goals.(如果你认为你有完美主义的问题，那就从设定现实的目标开始。想想你最重要的生活和职业目标)”以及后文“Not only will this make it easier to reach your objectives, but you'll also experience the thrill of achieving these smaller goals.(这不仅会让你更容易达成目标，而且你也会体验到实现这些小目标时的兴奋)”可知，本段主要是关于设定现实目标的问题，且后文提到了小目标，可推测本句是在建议把目标进行分解，D选项中them指代上文goals。故D选项“然后，把它们分解成每月或每年的步骤”符合语境，故选D。

According to a research on the impacts of reading on memory, people consistently remember words and texts ____59____（well）if reading them aloud than if reading them silently.

63. generally
64. response/responding

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了大声朗读的好处。
【56题详解】
考查省略句。句意：然而，今天，我们大多数人都像坐在图书馆里一样把这些话装在脑子里。as if引导的状语从句主语和主句主语一致，省略了从句的主语和be动词，完整的从句是“as if we were sitting in a library.”，此处省略了we were。故填sitting。
【57题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意：最近的研究提供了充足的证据证明，古老的朗读艺术有很多好处，从帮助我们改善记忆到加强人与人之间的情感纽带。空处引导同位语从句，作名词evidence的同位语，从句不缺成分，需用连接词that引导。故填that。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。from…to…为固定短语，意为“从……到……”。故填to。
【59题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意：一项关于阅读对记忆影响的研究表明，大声朗读比默读能更好地记住单词和文本。修饰动词remember需用副词，结合than可知，此处需用副词比较级。故填better。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这种现象被称为“产生效应”，意思是产生书面文字——也就是大声读出它们——可以提高我们对它们的记忆。修饰名词words需用形容词作定语，written意为“书面的”。故填written。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意：即使只是默默地说出这些话，也会让它们更令人难忘。空处缺少宾语，指代上文的“the spoken words”，需用代词them。故填them。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意：人们之所以能更好地记住说出来的单词，原因之一是它为我们的记忆提供了额外的基础。Basis为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且additional以元音音素开头，需用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意：我们通常更善于回忆那些需要积极参与的事件。空处需填副词作状语。故填generally。
【64题详解】
考查固定短语或者非谓语动词。句意：例如，在回答一个问题时使用一个单词会使它更容易记忆。in response to为固定短语，意为“对……作出反应”，或者in为介词，后面需填动名词形式responding。故填response/responding。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：当我们与他人的互动和我们接收到的大量信息都太过短暂时，也许值得花更多的时间大声阅读。此处陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语为interactions and information，谓语动词使用复数形式。故填are。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden. One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market. The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was snowing hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.
On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.
The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked, “Are these yours?” “Yes, sir,” the farmer answered timidly. “Have you killed the man?” “No, no, sir,” the farmer said in a hurry. “When did you see the dead man?” “About seven last evening.” “Did you see who killed the man?” “No, sir.” The officer brought out a knife and asked, “Have you seen it before?” “No, sir.” The officer became angry and told the policeman to beat him up and sent him into prison. He wanted to trap the farmer into the confession, but the farmer didn't admit he was the murderer.
Paragraph 1:
The officer was so angry that he asked the policeman to beat him up again.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
The officer was so angry that he asked the policeman to beat him up again. The farmer was very afraid, and he thought he would be sentenced to death by killing people, although he was innocent. He must tell people the truth, but no one could hear his voice. He hoped that someone could come and save him.
Paragraph 2:
The farmer was lucky. A few days later, a young man came to the police station with a lot of journalists, saying that he saw the murderer. It was the police officer who killed the man on the snow! He saw the police officer killing the man with a knife late in the evening. He was so frightened and ran away. But the young man thought the farmer was innocent. So he took the great courage to expose the real criminal. After the investigation, the young man was right. The police officer was sent into prison and the policeman who beat up the farmer was fired, and the brave young man was regarded as the hero by the villagers.
