第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
On many travelers' lists of things to do before they die, you'll find “See the northern lights” written down. Rightfully so-these lights are one of nature's most jaw-dropping views.
In Sweden, the northern lights usually appear from late March or early April. Your best chance of catching a glimpse of them is on cold winter nights when the sky is clear, dark with little to no moonlight, and cloudless. You need to be away from city lights and go to the countryside. For those willing to brave the cold on winter nights, here are some of the best locations.
Abisko National Park
Abisko National Park is a main location. The scientifically confirmed “blue hole”-a piece of sky over the Tornetrask lake that usually remains clear despite cloudy weather nearby一 gives Abisko its own microclimate（局部地区气候），which is suitable for catching the lights.
Jukkasjarvi
The village of Jukkasjarvi only has about 550 people. But don't let the small population size fool you: Jukkasjarvi owns the world's first ice hotel and is one of the best places to view the northern lights. The ice hotel organizes guided tours for guests to the Esrange Space Center. There you can eat at a camp outside and see the Arctic winter sky for aurora borealis（北极光）.Or why not try to get closer to the northern lights and watch them through an aeroplane window? The ice hotel arranges flights for the amazing northern lights experience.
Gallivare
You can drive a snowmobile to the mountain top in Gallivare for a private light show, or head a few kilometers to nearby villages to watch those lights shining across the dark winter sky. But remember-if you do get the chance to see the northern lights in person,never whistle to them. According to ancient Sumi fairy, it brings you bad luck.
21. When are you likely to best enjoy the northern lights in Sweden?
A. On cold winter nights with clear sky and a little moonlight.
B.On chilly winter nights in the rural area without moonlight or cloud.
C. On freezing winter nights in the city center with few lights and little could.
D. On winter nights when the sky is dark with little moonlight and no cloud.
22What do you know about the Jukkasjarvi?
A.It has up to 550 people.
B.It owns the world's first hotel.
C.It is among the best places to view the northern lights.
D.You can eat at a camp inside and see the aurora borealis.
23.Where can the text be found?
A.A science report. B. An art magazine.
C.A trarel guide. D.A history book.
B

A hundred days out from the opening ceremony, Beijing,which previously hosted the Summer Paralympics in 2008, is to stage another Games with even higher standards of inclu-siveness, accessibility and equality when the Winter Paralympics open on March 4.
Preparatory work for the 10-day Paralympics has shifted from facility readiness to operational tests. After hostingaseries of international test events, organizers are now busy fine-tuning（微调）operational details and services to
offer Paralympians better experiences based on feedback from the trials.
The aquatics center, nicknamed the “water cube”, has been repurposed into an “ice cube” for curling after the completion of an innovative project to fill the pool with removable steel structures topped with sheets of ice.
The transformed venue（地点）withstood intensive tests on the stability of the ice surface， delicate control of
temperature and humidity， accessibility and COVID-19 protocols（协 议）during the wheelchair curling event to
make sure it was up to international standards， the team operating the venue said.
“The test event went quite successfully and shed light on the improvements that we need to make in the next step,” said Yang Qiyong, general manager of the venue. World Curling Federation president Kate Caithness heaped praise on the venue's readiness after an inspection visit for the test event last month.
With preparations for the Paralympics gaining momentum as they enter the final stretch, Chinese organizers and sports promoters have set their sights on maximizing the event's im-pact on leveling the playing field so that more disabled sports lovers get involved in exercise on ice and snow, while raising awareness of the need for equal access to training facilities, especially in winter sports, beyond 2022.
28.What do you know about the preparatory work?
A.The construction work is under way.
B.The facility has been in place waiting to be tested.

People who rise early feel happier and more satisfied with life overall, compared to night owls. The good news for stroppy（易怒的） teenagers is that most people become earlier risers as they age, and this change is also associated with greater feelings of happiness.
Experts at the University of Toronto carried out a study. They asked more than 700 people about their preferred time of day and how healthy and happy they generally feel.They then compared the responses of the group of younger adults aged 17 to 38 with older people aged 59 to 79. Only about seven per cent of young adults were morning larks, while by age 60 most people preferred to be up with the dawn. Just seven per cent of the oldest people in the study described themselves as night owls. The researchers found that older adults reported greater positive emotion than younger adults, and older adults were more likely to be morning-type people than younger adults. The “morningness” was associated with greater happiness emotions in both age groups.
Morning types also tended to report that they felt healthier than the late risers. The researchers said that this apparent health benefit could come from the extra sleep they would enjoy,as their sleeping schedule would fit with society's expectations of rising early for work. This extra sleep could not only make them alert, but may also boost their immune system.
“An evening person may go through their week feeling unhappy because they have to get up earlier than they would like to,” But Ms Biss said there was hope for night owls as it was possible for them to turn themselves into morning people.“One way to do it is to increase your natural light exposure early in the morning, and to wake up earlier and go to bed earlier,”she said. “It's easiest if you have a consistent schedule, to make sure you are waking up at the same time every day.”
32.How did the author get the result of the study?
A.By listing statistics. B.By offering examples.
C.By doing an experiment. D. By making comparisons.
33.Why didi the morning larks feel healthier than night owls according to the report?
A.Because the extra sleep would make them excited.
B.Because their sleep time fit with society’s expectations of rising early for work.
C.Because they didn't need enough sleep to keep them alert.
D.Because the extra sleep improved their immune system.
34.Which of the following way help right owls become morning people?
A.Exposing them to more light in the morning.
B.Getting up early and stay up late.
C.Having a healthy and consistent schedule.
D. Making friends with earlier risers.
35.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Morning people tend to be happier than night owls.
B. It is advisable to get up early.
C. We should avoid getting up late.
D. It is a bad idea to be night owls.

第二节 故事续写(满分25分)
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。
I took a trip to visit New York with my dad after graduating from high school. One of the places on his list for us to visit was a “rare violin shop” since I played the violin all four years and participated in the honor orchestra as well. We made our way down the crowded streets and eventually stopped in front of a tall building
This building was not what I pictured when I heard “rare violin shop”. I'd been imagining a street-level shop, open to the public, with some interesting and old violins on display, may-be with a luthier(拨弦乐器制作匠)in the back. As we walked inside,took the elevator to the sixth floor， and stood in front of what appeared to be a private condo(公寓的套房)，Iknew something felt off. I voiced my concern to my dad as he rang the doorbell but was ignored. My dad had never been great at interpreting(解读)social standards.
We were greeted by a receptionist who asked if we had an appointment, since they were by appointment only. I wanted the ground to swallow me whole and I was instantly aware of the sweaty, summer tourist clothes we had on. My dad eagerly told them that no, we didn't but, “my daughter plays the violin with her high school orchestra and isn't that great? And we would love to just go inside and browse! Don't mind us!”
The receptionist gave him a strange look but took it in stride(泰然处之)and excused herself to talk to someone behind a door. She came back with the owner, a well-dressed man, who told us that since he had no other appointments right now, he would love to give us a tour!
The starting price for a violin here, we found out,was 10k.He showed us around a veryprivate-feeling and swanky(时髦且豪华的)-looking condo,pointed out a room where he casually mentionedhe would chat with Joshua Bell when he came by, and opened the most interesting two-person safe I've ever seen to show me several multi-million-dollar violins.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右
He asked me questions about my orchestra and what pieces I liked to play as well.
I don't remember his name at this point, but I am very grateful to him.

In Sweden, the northern lights usually appear from late March or early April. Your best chance of catching a glimpse of them is on cold winter nights when the sky is clear, dark with little to no moonlight, and cloudless. You need to be away from city lights and go to the countryside. For those willing to brave the cold on winter nights, here are some of the best locations.
Abisko National Park
Abisko National Park is a main location. The scientifically confirmed “blue hole”-a piece of sky over the Tornetrask lake that usually remains clear despite cloudy weather nearby一 gives Abisko its own microclimate（局部地区气候），which is suitable for catching the lights.
Jukkasjarvi
The village of Jukkasjarvi only has about 550 people. But don't let the small population size fool you: Jukkasjarvi owns the world's first ice hotel and is one of the best places to view the northern lights. The ice hotel organizes guided tours for guests to the Esrange Space Center. There you can eat at a camp outside and see the Arctic winter sky for aurora borealis（北极光）.Or why not try to get closer to the northern lights and watch them through an aeroplane window? The ice hotel arranges flights for the amazing northern lights experience.
Gallivare
You can drive a snowmobile to the mountain top in Gallivare for a private light show, or head a few kilometers to nearby villages to watch those lights shining across the dark winter sky. But remember-if you do get the chance to see the northern lights in person,never whistle to them. According to ancient Sumi fairy, it brings you bad luck.
21. When are you likely to best enjoy the northern lights in Sweden?
A. On cold winter nights with clear sky and a little moonlight.
B.On chilly winter nights in the rural area without moonlight or cloud.
C. On freezing winter nights in the city center with few lights and little could.
D. On winter nights when the sky is dark with little moonlight and no cloud.

A.It has up to 550 people.
B.It owns the world's first hotel.
C.It is among the best places to view the northern lights.
D.You can eat at a camp inside and see the aurora borealis.

People who rise early feel happier and more satisfied with life overall, compared to night owls. The good news for stroppy（易怒的） teenagers is that most people become earlier risers as they age, and this change is also associated with greater feelings of happiness.
Experts at the University of Toronto carried out a study. They asked more than 700 people about their preferred time of day and how healthy and happy they generally feel.They then compared the responses of the group of younger adults aged 17 to 38 with older people aged 59 to 79. Only about seven per cent of young adults were morning larks, while by age 60 most people preferred to be up with the dawn. Just seven per cent of the oldest people in the study described themselves as night owls. The researchers found that older adults reported greater positive emotion than younger adults, and older adults were more likely to be morning-type people than younger adults. The “morningness” was associated with greater happiness emotions in both age groups.
Morning types also tended to report that they felt healthier than the late risers. The researchers said that this apparent health benefit could come from the extra sleep they would enjoy,as their sleeping schedule would fit with society's expectations of rising early for work. This extra sleep could not only make them alert, but may also boost their immune system.
“An evening person may go through their week feeling unhappy because they have to get up earlier than they would like to,” But Ms Biss said there was hope for night owls as it was possible for them to turn themselves into morning people.“One way to do it is to increase your natural light exposure early in the morning, and to wake up earlier and go to bed earlier,”she said. “It's easiest if you have a consistent schedule, to make sure you are waking up at the same time every day.”
32.How did the author get the result of the study?
A.By listing statistics. B.By offering examples.
C.By doing an experiment. D. By making comparisons.
33.Why didi the morning larks feel healthier than night owls according to the report?
A.Because the extra sleep would make them excited.
B.Because their sleep time fit with society’s expectations of rising early for work.
C.Because they didn't need enough sleep to keep them alert.
D.Because the extra sleep improved their immune system.
34.Which of the following way help right owls become morning people?
A.Exposing them to more light in the morning.
B.Getting up early and stay up late.
C.Having a healthy and consistent schedule.
D. Making friends with earlier risers.
35.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Morning people tend to be happier than night owls.
B. It is advisable to get up early.
C. We should avoid getting up late.
D. It is a bad idea to be night owls.

第二节 故事续写(满分25分)
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。
I took a trip to visit New York with my dad after graduating from high school. One of the places on his list for us to visit was a “rare violin shop” since I played the violin all four years and participated in the honor orchestra as well. We made our way down the crowded streets and eventually stopped in front of a tall building
This building was not what I pictured when I heard “rare violin shop”. I'd been imagining a street-level shop, open to the public, with some interesting and old violins on display, may-be with a luthier(拨弦乐器制作匠)in the back. As we walked inside,took the elevator to the sixth floor， and stood in front of what appeared to be a private condo(公寓的套房)，Iknew something felt off. I voiced my concern to my dad as he rang the doorbell but was ignored. My dad had never been great at interpreting(解读)social standards.
We were greeted by a receptionist who asked if we had an appointment, since they were by appointment only. I wanted the ground to swallow me whole and I was instantly aware of the sweaty, summer tourist clothes we had on. My dad eagerly told them that no, we didn't but, “my daughter plays the violin with her high school orchestra and isn't that great? And we would love to just go inside and browse! Don't mind us!”
The receptionist gave him a strange look but took it in stride(泰然处之)and excused herself to talk to someone behind a door. She came back with the owner, a well-dressed man, who told us that since he had no other appointments right now, he would love to give us a tour!
The starting price for a violin here, we found out,was 10k.He showed us around a veryprivate-feeling and swanky(时髦且豪华的)-looking condo,pointed out a room where he casually mentionedhe would chat with Joshua Bell when he came by, and opened the most interesting two-person safe I've ever seen to show me several multi-million-dollar violins.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右
He asked me questions about my orchestra and what pieces I liked to play as well.
I don't remember his name at this point, but I am very grateful to him.
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
