C. After they have rich social experience.
【答案】17．C
18．A
19．B
20．A
【解析】
【原文】
M: I started my own company, CyberEdit, when I was a freshman. Most students have to write essays, and I aimed to provide computer editing services for them. During one summer vacation, I worked for an Internet company and in the evening, I spent another four hours working on my website. It’s not easy to develop a business. If you hope to be financially independent, you must do something while you are young and you can work long hours. For a long time, I was editing nearly ten documents a night. I spent fifty hours a week doing this. It was hard. Then I hired my first four employees, and I never edited a single document again. The next year, I turned down my summer job at a big investment bank and spent the vacation expanding CyberEdit. In December, Wired magazine contacted me and asked me to write an article about my life. After the article appeared in March, interested investors began to contact me. In June, one of them decided to invest a large sum of money in the company. So the Wired article brought me over a million dollars in funding! More than anything else, good publicity helps a new business attract investors and customers. Investors came to me, not because I was making money and employing fifty college students, but because they read about it in Wired magazine, and saw it on ABC World News Tonight. My advice to young people who consider starting a company is: Do it now! Don’t delay starting it until you’ve finished school or had some “real-world experience”.
四、阅读理解
The 14th National Games held in Xi’an has triggered great interest — not only in sports and fitness, but also in the host city itself. If you are planning a tour of Xi’an taking less than 3 days, you’ll want to hit all the following highlights.
The Terracotta Army
The Terracotta Army is not just China’s premier historical attraction but one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century, which was constructed by China’s First Emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-207 BC). It is a collection of thousands of life-size terracotta soldiers, horses, and chariots (战车) in battle formation, showing the emperor’s armies in full splendor.
Ancient City Wall
Xi’an City Wall was built in the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best-preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas.
Giant Wild Goose Pagoda
One of China’s most famous Buddhist pagodas, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) for the study of Buddhist scriptures. One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store sutras (经文) brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang. It was built with layers of bricks and has a grand structure and appearance. It is exemplary of traditional Chinese architecture.
Shaanxi History Museum
The Shaanxi History Museum is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years. Its collections range from bronze wares to pottery figures, gold and silver wares and wall paintings from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) tombs. Among its precious collections, 18 pieces have been listed as national treasures.

Several years ago, I read about William Helmreich walking every street in New York City. I thought, “I can do that for Montreal.” With little hesitation, I devoted the next five years of my life to the project.
I’m a keen walker, but I did little preparation for this undertaking. All I did was to buy a map. It didn’t even show all of Montreal. So, when I say I walked every street in Montreal, I actually walked the full length of every street on my map.
I never walked through any shabby neighborhoods. From one end of my map to the other, all houses were well looked after. People went to great lengths to decorate their homes, and with this came one of the great pleasures of my walks: the different measures they took to decorate their frontage(正面).
I discovered that pigs are a popular decorative element throughout the city. The type that is dressed up as humans, I mean. I saw pigs wearing dresses, shirts, and even swimming costumes. They weren’t the only animals around either. One garden’s giant moose was particularly eye-catching.
Every outing has its wonders. Never assume a neighborhood has little of interest to offer. You must be trained to seek out strange things. Otherwise, you might never spot the clothes on the sidewalks. If I stopped to collect everything I saw lying around abandoned, I could fit out a small country. Where did they come from? How did people lose their shoes while out walking? A puzzle.
There was enough fun in my walks that I’d have a few laughs and come home lighter-hearted than when I left.
As my project progressed, I felt like I owned the city. I could get off at any subway station and my feet remembered the route to the best shops. They also conveniently recalled the location of the closest washrooms.
Anyone can get in on this walking game. I admit with some shame, I used to feel completely fulfilled huddled(蜷缩) in my part of town but walking its streets has truly opened my eyes to Montreal’s full menu. So just head to a neighborhood to nose around. I can assure you that you’ll feel like a pioneer with the discoveries you bring back.
24. Why did the author decided to walk the streets of Montreal?
A. Her friends told her to do so.
B. She wanted to do some research.
C. She wanted to get some exercise.
D. She was inspired by someone’s experience.
25. What do we know about houses in Montreal?
A. Many houses are abandoned.
B. All houses are decorated with pigs.
C. People enjoy decorating their houses.
D. Most people keep pets in their houses.
26. What amazed the author during her trips?

B. The decoration of subway stations.
C. The clothes deserted on sidewalks.
D. Animals walking on the streets.
27. How did the author feel on her walk?

Loneliness is significant mental health concern and can raise risk of death by 45% and contact with nature in cities significantly reduces feelings of loneliness, according to a team of scientists.
The study is the first to assess how the environment can affect loneliness. It used real-time data, collected via a smartphone app, rather than relying on people’s memory of how they were feeling.
The research found that feelings of overcrowding increased loneliness by an average of 30%. But when people were able to see trees or hear birds, feelings of loneliness fell by 28%. Feelings of social inclusion also cut loneliness by 21% and when these feelings coincided (巧合) with contact with nature, the beneficial effect was boosted by a further 18%.
The findings pointed to interventions to reduce loneliness. The researchers said, “Specific measures that increase social inclusion and contact with nature should be taken, especially in thickly populated cities.” Time spent in nature is known to boost well-being, with woodland walks estimated to save the UK at least ₤185m a year in mental health costs, for example.
The research collected data from urban citizens across the world using the Urban Mind research app. More than 750 people provided 16,600 of these assessments. The participants were self-selecting and so it did not provide a representative sample of the wider populations. But when the researchers took age, education, and occupation into account, the benefits of nature contact and feelings of social inclusion on loneliness remained strongly statistically significant. Johanna Gibbons, part of the research team, said, “Cities are probably the only habitat that is increasing at a high rate. So we should be creating urban habitats where people can thrive (兴旺).”
28. How was the research conducted?
A. By relying on people’s memory.
B. By surveying 750 urban participants.
C. By collecting data through a smartphone app.
D. By checking a worldwide representative sample.
29. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Many big cities take the lead in the research.
B. Time spent indoors improves people’s well-being.
C. Woodland walks greatly reduce social contact with people.
D. Interventions to reduce loneliness benefit the UK financially.
30. What can be inferred about the research?
A. It offers a wide range of samples globally.
B. The findings are statistically remarkable.
C. The carefully selected participants are reliable.
D. Many factors are considered except education.
31. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The mental problems of living in big cities.
B. Developing urban habitats at a high speed.
C. Research on how to get rid of loneliness in nature.
D. Reducing loneliness in cities via contact with nature.
【答案】28．C

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是研究表明可以通过与大自然接触来减少城市里的孤独感。
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段的“It used real-time data, collected via a smartphone app, rather than relying on people’s memory of how they were feeling.(它使用通过智能手机应用程序收集的实时数据，而不是依靠人们对自己感觉的记忆)”可知，研究是通过智能手机应用收集数据。故选C。
29. 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Time spent in nature is known to boost well-being, with woodland walks estimated to save the UK at least ₤185m a year in mental health costs, for example.(众所周知，花时间在大自然中可以提高幸福感，例如，在林地里散步估计每年节省给英国至少节省₤185心理健康成本)”可知，减少孤独感的干预措施在经济上对英国有利。故选D。
30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But when the researchers took age, education, and occupation into account, the benefits of nature contact and feelings of social inclusion on loneliness remained strongly statistically significant.(但当研究人员将年龄、教育和职业考虑在内时，与自然接触和社会包容的感觉对孤独的好处在统计上仍然非常显著)”可知，这项研究把除了教育之外的很多因素都考虑在内。故选D。
31. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Loneliness is significant mental health concern and can raise risk of death by 45% and contact with nature in cities significantly reduces feelings of loneliness, according to a team of scientists.(一组科学家表示，孤独是一种严重的心理健康问题，可能会使死亡风险提高45%，而在城市中接触大自然可以显著减少孤独感)”可知，本文主要讲的是研究表明可以通过与大自然接触来减少城市里的孤独感。故选D。
On New Year’s Eves, I would reflect on my best days of the year. Sometimes they were the days I expected. Parties, vacations, weddings. But more often, the real best days weren’t the obvious ones. They were marked by the ordinary: a long conversation with a friend or an unexpected visitor.
The problem with these best days was that they went by without me realizing how special they were. Could I find a way to know when the best days were coming and really feel them as they happened?
So I tried to declare a best day in advance. Even if it felt ridiculous, this effort to make what seemed to be common feel extraordinary usually worked. Staying up chatting until late at night or going for a weekend run through a park in the sunshine felt as wonderful as I had hoped it would. Mundane experiences felt different when I marked them as such.
Marking experiences this way is one key to happiness, said Dr. Robert Waldinger, a psychiatrist, the director of the Harvard Happiness Study. “Often we’ll remember the things that more emotionally loaded as opposed to the neutral, the flat, the boring. That’s why you probably can’t remember what you had for dinner last Monday — unless it was something.”
Looking back at 2021, I realized that I was too busy following the news and wishing my would go back to normal. But lately I’ve found the unhappiness during the pandemic made unhappy before, too. The loneliness that I worried at times might become a permanent area of adulthood. They were excuses I made as I waited for something to change.
We can’t wait anymore. The stress we feel now isn’t going to magically disappear, just as it never would have before the pandemic. There’s only one thing we can control: How are we going to live in it? Why not try to have a best day right now, maybe even tonight? So I’m going to go back to my practice of declaring a best day in advance. I’ll start by declaring today or tomorrow or next Monday one of the best days of 2022. I’ll decide to do something I enjoy — it could be as simple as having some friends over or going for a walk.
32. What does the underlined word “Mundane” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. specific. B. ordinary. C. occasional. D. special.
33. Why does the author mention the words from Dr. Robert Waldinger?
A. To prove what the author tried to do was right.
B. To spread the knowledge about the happiness study.
C. To prove we can’t remember the boring and flat information.
D. To convince readers of the importance of the happiness study.
34. According to the passage, what attitude should the author have towards negative emotions during the pandemic?
A. Believe these emotions will disappear in the future.
B. Realize these emotions are special in this period.
C. Believe these emotions will not influence his life.
D. Realize these emotions exist in other periods too.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. You Can Wait For the Best Day.
B. You Can Make Any Day the Best Day.
C. You Can Own the Emotionally Best Day.
D. You Can Recall the Best Day.
【答案】32．B
33．A
34．D
35．B
【解析】
【导语】
这是一篇记叙文，作者通过自己的经历说明刻意地制造一年中“最棒的日子”，确实能让那一天感觉大不相同，能帮我们创造积极的情绪价值。
32. 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Even if it felt ridiculous, this effort to make what seemed to be common feel extraordinary usually worked.(即使这感觉很荒谬，但这种把看似普通的事情变得非同寻常的努力通常是有效的)”可知，作者把平凡的某一天标记为最棒的日子，这种做法通常是有效的，结合划线词所在句中的“when I marked them as such(当我像这样去标记时)”可推知，本句意为：当我像这样去标记时，平凡的经历也感觉大不相同，Mundane意为“平凡的”。故选B项。
33. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“So I tried to declare a best day in advance.(于是，我试着提前指定一个最棒的日子)”及“Mundane experiences felt different when I marked them as such.(当我像这样去标记时，平凡的经历也感觉大不相同)”可知，作者提前去指定某一天为“一年中最棒的日子”，结合第三段中“Marking experiences this way is one key to happiness, said Dr. Robert Waldinger, a psychiatrist, the director of the Harvard Happiness Study.(哈佛大学幸福研究主任、精神科医师Robert Waldinger博士说，以这种方式标记经历是幸福的关键之一。)”可知，作者引用Robert Waldinger的话是为了证明自己的做法是正确的。故选A项。
34. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“But lately I’ve found the unhappiness during the pandemic made unhappy before, too. The loneliness that I worried at times might become a permanent area of adulthood.(但最近我发现，疫情期间的不开心也让以前不开心。我有时担心的孤独可能会成为成年的永久区域)”可知，对待疫情期间的消极情绪，作者应该意识到这些情绪在其他时期也存在。故选D项。
35. 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，结合最后一段中“So I’m going to go back to my practice of declaring a best day in advance. I’ll start by declaring today or tomorrow or next Monday one of the best days of 2022.(所以我要回到我的习惯做法，提前指定一个最棒的日子。首先，我要宣布今天、明天或下周一是2022年最棒的日子之一)”可知，作者通过自己的经历说明刻意地制造一年中“最棒的日子”，确实能让那一天感觉大不相同，能帮我们创造积极的情绪价值，B项“你可以让任何一天成为最棒的日子”适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

36. 上文“A study shows that finding unusual ways to interact with familiar people, places and things can make everyday experiences feel exciting. (一项研究表明，找到不同寻常的方式与熟悉的人、地方和事物互动可以让日常体验变得令人兴奋)”说明在日常体验中要找到不同的方式，选项E“换句话说，有时候你需要改变一下”承接上文，对上文作进一步解释，日常生活中需要改变一下。选项中shake things up和上文中finding unusual ways语义相关。故选E项。

40. 上文“Simply observing one’s surroundings may seem boring. (简单地观察周围的环境似乎很无聊)”说明简单不变的看周围环境很无聊，选项G“然而，如果用心去做，它会变得有趣，甚至更有意义”和上文发生转折关系，说明如果用心以不同的角度去观察，就会变得有趣，更有意义。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】
这是一篇记叙文。介绍了中国航天事业背后的英雄Deng Qingming。
56. 考查形容词派生词。句意：当许多中国人庆祝国家最新的太空行走时，他们也想到了中国航天事业取得伟大成就背后的英雄。根据句意可知，此处应用late的派生形容词latest，意为“最近的，最新的”，作定语。故填latest。
57. 考查名词复数。句意：当许多中国人庆祝国家最新的太空行走时，他们也想到了中国航天事业取得伟大成就背后的英雄。根据“those great achievements China’s space industry has made”可知，完成中国航天事业成就的人不是一个，所以此处应用hero的复数形式。故填heroes。
58. 考查时态。句意：在新浪微博和微信朋友圈，自从中国最新的载人飞船“神舟十三号”进入天宫空间站以来，关于55岁的中国人民解放军航天员Deng Qingming的帖子急剧增加。根据连词since引导的时间状语从句可知，此处应用现在完成时。主语posts为复数，主谓一致，故填have increased。
59. 考查非谓语动词。句意：中央电视台还在各大媒体平台上发布了一段短视频，向Deng致敬，称他是坚持和奉献的典范。根据句意可知，此处应用动词不定式，作状语，表目的。故填to honor。
60. 考查冠词。句意：1984年6月，Deng加入中国人民解放军空军，并开始在河北省一所飞行学院接受飞行员训练。后文单数可数名词pilot为泛指概念，应用不定冠词限定，其发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
61. 考查形容词（不定代词）。句意：毕业后，他开始参加中国人民解放军空军的航天员选拔工作，最终与另外13名男性航天员一起入选。根据句意和后文“13 male ayiators”可知，此处应用形容词another修饰名词，表示“另外13名男性航天员”。故填another。
62. 考查让步状语从句。句意：在接下来的几年里，尽管Deng一直致力于训练，努力争取进入太空的机会，但他总是与好运近在咫尺，至今仍未实现。后文“he has always been inches away from good luck and has yet to make it”和前文之间存在转折关系，因位于句子开头部分，故此处可用从属连词while或although或though引导让步状语从句。故填while/although/though。
63. 考查介词。句意：在接下来的几年里，尽管Deng一直致力于训练，努力争取进入太空的机会，但他总是与好运近在咫尺，至今仍未实现。struggle for“为……而奋斗”是固定搭配，符合句意。故填for。
64. 考查副词。句意：然而，正如Deng所预料的那样，他的女儿Deng Manqi毕业后成功入选中国载人航天工程。修饰动词selected应用副词。故填successfully。
65. 考查让步状语从句。句意：你必须坚持下去，不管等待你的是什么。根据句意和no matter可知，此处引导让步状语从句，no matter what“无论什么……”，连接代词what在从句中作主语，指代事物。故填what。

九、读后续写
67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
On Friday evening, Emmett and I went to a movie as scheduled. After purchasing the tickets and drinks, we entered the cinema with delight beforehand, waiting for the beginning of the movie.
When I got up in the middle of the movie, Emmett whispered, “Carter, where are you going?” “I forgot to call my mom to tell her what time to pick us up.” I whispered back, leaving my jacket on the seat.
I squeezed past the people in my row, trying not to step on any feet while still watching the screen. I didn’t want to miss a thing. Balfour, the good guy in the movie, was trapped in an underground cave.
When I came back, Balfour’s flashlight almost went out. An enormous snake was moving toward him, twisting its body. Balfour struggled to loosen the chains around his hands and feet to reach his magic cape. With the cape around him, he could completely disappear.
I crawled back across eight people (I counted on the way out), never taking my eyes off the screen. I sat down in my seat slowly, then picked up my drink, and swallowed it quickly. But suddenly my brain said, “That’s not coke. That’s lemonade.” I looked down at the cup, just as the girl next to me shouted, “He drank my lemonade!”
“ Shhhh!” the people around us said, making quiet complaints.
“ Where’s Emmett?” I asked, as if the girl had hidden him under her seat.
“ Carter, down here,” Emmett answered in a low voice. He was two rows ahead of me. I was in the wrong row! Everyone was turning around to look at me.
“ Here,” I said, handing the girl her drink.
“Eww,” she said. “You have had a drink of it, so you owe me a lemonade.”
“Shhhh!” everyone said again.
“OK, OK,” I said, starting my crawl across eight sets of feet again. Everybody were complaining as I inched out.
“Don’t come back,” the boy on the end said.

I thought about crawling out of this row and back into Emmett’s row, but I couldn’t.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
But the problem was that I had to come back to bring this girl a new lemonade. I bought a lemonade, took a deep breath, and went back. This time, I bent low, looking at every person on the end of each row. When I saw the same boy, I moved through fast to get back to that girl. Unfortunately, I stepped on a boy’s feet and banged my knee. After apologizing to him, I quickly fell into the seat next to the girl and handed her the lemonade. Everyone around us all turned to stare at me again with some complaints.
Paragraph 2
I thought about crawling out of this row and back into Emmett’s row, but I couldn’t. Maybe I would just stay there until the movie ended. Thanking me for the lemonade, the girl talked about the plots I missed. I whispered back, “Thanks.” When the lights of the cinema came on, I grabbed my jacket on the seat and hurried out. Emmett caught up with me, “Do you know that girl? “No.” I answered. “Then why do you have her jacket?” I looked down and found a bright pink jacket. “Here I go again,” I said with embarrassment, spotting the girl in the crowd.

20．A
【解析】
【原文】
M: I started my own company, CyberEdit, when I was a freshman. Most students have to write essays, and I aimed to provide computer editing services for them. During one summer vacation, I worked for an Internet company and in the evening, I spent another four hours working on my website. It’s not easy to develop a business. If you hope to be financially independent, you must do something while you are young and you can work long hours. For a long time, I was editing nearly ten documents a night. I spent fifty hours a week doing this. It was hard. Then I hired my first four employees, and I never edited a single document again. The next year, I turned down my summer job at a big investment bank and spent the vacation expanding CyberEdit. In December, Wired magazine contacted me and asked me to write an article about my life. After the article appeared in March, interested investors began to contact me. In June, one of them decided to invest a large sum of money in the company. So the Wired article brought me over a million dollars in funding! More than anything else, good publicity helps a new business attract investors and customers. Investors came to me, not because I was making money and employing fifty college students, but because they read about it in Wired magazine, and saw it on ABC World News Tonight. My advice to young people who consider starting a company is: Do it now! Don’t delay starting it until you’ve finished school or had some “real-world experience”.
四、阅读理解
The 14th National Games held in Xi’an has triggered great interest — not only in sports and fitness, but also in the host city itself. If you are planning a tour of Xi’an taking less than 3 days, you’ll want to hit all the following highlights.
The Terracotta Army
The Terracotta Army is not just China’s premier historical attraction but one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century, which was constructed by China’s First Emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-207 BC). It is a collection of thousands of life-size terracotta soldiers, horses, and chariots (战车) in battle formation, showing the emperor’s armies in full splendor.
Ancient City Wall
Xi’an City Wall was built in the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best-preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas.
Giant Wild Goose Pagoda
One of China’s most famous Buddhist pagodas, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) for the study of Buddhist scriptures. One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store sutras (经文) brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang. It was built with layers of bricks and has a grand structure and appearance. It is exemplary of traditional Chinese architecture.
Shaanxi History Museum
The Shaanxi History Museum is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years. Its collections range from bronze wares to pottery figures, gold and silver wares and wall paintings from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) tombs. Among its precious collections, 18 pieces have been listed as national treasures.

Several years ago, I read about William Helmreich walking every street in New York City. I thought, “I can do that for Montreal.” With little hesitation, I devoted the next five years of my life to the project.
I’m a keen walker, but I did little preparation for this undertaking. All I did was to buy a map. It didn’t even show all of Montreal. So, when I say I walked every street in Montreal, I actually walked the full length of every street on my map.
I never walked through any shabby neighborhoods. From one end of my map to the other, all houses were well looked after. People went to great lengths to decorate their homes, and with this came one of the great pleasures of my walks: the different measures they took to decorate their frontage(正面).
I discovered that pigs are a popular decorative element throughout the city. The type that is dressed up as humans, I mean. I saw pigs wearing dresses, shirts, and even swimming costumes. They weren’t the only animals around either. One garden’s giant moose was particularly eye-catching.
Every outing has its wonders. Never assume a neighborhood has little of interest to offer. You must be trained to seek out strange things. Otherwise, you might never spot the clothes on the sidewalks. If I stopped to collect everything I saw lying around abandoned, I could fit out a small country. Where did they come from? How did people lose their shoes while out walking? A puzzle.
There was enough fun in my walks that I’d have a few laughs and come home lighter-hearted than when I left.
As my project progressed, I felt like I owned the city. I could get off at any subway station and my feet remembered the route to the best shops. They also conveniently recalled the location of the closest washrooms.
Anyone can get in on this walking game. I admit with some shame, I used to feel completely fulfilled huddled(蜷缩) in my part of town but walking its streets has truly opened my eyes to Montreal’s full menu. So just head to a neighborhood to nose around. I can assure you that you’ll feel like a pioneer with the discoveries you bring back.
24. Why did the author decided to walk the streets of Montreal?
A. Her friends told her to do so.
B. She wanted to do some research.
C. She wanted to get some exercise.
D. She was inspired by someone’s experience.
25. What do we know about houses in Montreal?

Loneliness is significant mental health concern and can raise risk of death by 45% and contact with nature in cities significantly reduces feelings of loneliness, according to a team of scientists.
The study is the first to assess how the environment can affect loneliness. It used real-time data, collected via a smartphone app, rather than relying on people’s memory of how they were feeling.
The research found that feelings of overcrowding increased loneliness by an average of 30%. But when people were able to see trees or hear birds, feelings of loneliness fell by 28%. Feelings of social inclusion also cut loneliness by 21% and when these feelings coincided (巧合) with contact with nature, the beneficial effect was boosted by a further 18%.
The findings pointed to interventions to reduce loneliness. The researchers said, “Specific measures that increase social inclusion and contact with nature should be taken, especially in thickly populated cities.” Time spent in nature is known to boost well-being, with woodland walks estimated to save the UK at least ₤185m a year in mental health costs, for example.
The research collected data from urban citizens across the world using the Urban Mind research app. More than 750 people provided 16,600 of these assessments. The participants were self-selecting and so it did not provide a representative sample of the wider populations. But when the researchers took age, education, and occupation into account, the benefits of nature contact and feelings of social inclusion on loneliness remained strongly statistically significant. Johanna Gibbons, part of the research team, said, “Cities are probably the only habitat that is increasing at a high rate. So we should be creating urban habitats where people can thrive (兴旺).”
28. How was the research conducted?
A. By relying on people’s memory.
B. By surveying 750 urban participants.
C. By collecting data through a smartphone app.
D. By checking a worldwide representative sample.
29. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Many big cities take the lead in the research.
B. Time spent indoors improves people’s well-being.
C. Woodland walks greatly reduce social contact with people.
D. Interventions to reduce loneliness benefit the UK financially.
30. What can be inferred about the research?
A. It offers a wide range of samples globally.
B. The findings are statistically remarkable.
C. The carefully selected participants are reliable.
D. Many factors are considered except education.
31. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The mental problems of living in big cities.
B. Developing urban habitats at a high speed.
C. Research on how to get rid of loneliness in nature.
D. Reducing loneliness in cities via contact with nature.

On New Year’s Eves, I would reflect on my best days of the year. Sometimes they were the days I expected. Parties, vacations, weddings. But more often, the real best days weren’t the obvious ones. They were marked by the ordinary: a long conversation with a friend or an unexpected visitor.
The problem with these best days was that they went by without me realizing how special they were. Could I find a way to know when the best days were coming and really feel them as they happened?
So I tried to declare a best day in advance. Even if it felt ridiculous, this effort to make what seemed to be common feel extraordinary usually worked. Staying up chatting until late at night or going for a weekend run through a park in the sunshine felt as wonderful as I had hoped it would. Mundane experiences felt different when I marked them as such.
Marking experiences this way is one key to happiness, said Dr. Robert Waldinger, a psychiatrist, the director of the Harvard Happiness Study. “Often we’ll remember the things that more emotionally loaded as opposed to the neutral, the flat, the boring. That’s why you probably can’t remember what you had for dinner last Monday — unless it was something.”
Looking back at 2021, I realized that I was too busy following the news and wishing my would go back to normal. But lately I’ve found the unhappiness during the pandemic made unhappy before, too. The loneliness that I worried at times might become a permanent area of adulthood. They were excuses I made as I waited for something to change.
We can’t wait anymore. The stress we feel now isn’t going to magically disappear, just as it never would have before the pandemic. There’s only one thing we can control: How are we going to live in it? Why not try to have a best day right now, maybe even tonight? So I’m going to go back to my practice of declaring a best day in advance. I’ll start by declaring today or tomorrow or next Monday one of the best days of 2022. I’ll decide to do something I enjoy — it could be as simple as having some friends over or going for a walk.
32. What does the underlined word “Mundane” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. specific. B. ordinary. C. occasional. D. special.
33. Why does the author mention the words from Dr. Robert Waldinger?
A. To prove what the author tried to do was right.
B. To spread the knowledge about the happiness study.
C. To prove we can’t remember the boring and flat information.
D. To convince readers of the importance of the happiness study.
34. According to the passage, what attitude should the author have towards negative emotions during the pandemic?
A. Believe these emotions will disappear in the future.
B. Realize these emotions are special in this period.
C. Believe these emotions will not influence his life.
D. Realize these emotions exist in other periods too.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. You Can Wait For the Best Day.
B. You Can Make Any Day the Best Day.
C. You Can Own the Emotionally Best Day.
D. You Can Recall the Best Day.

这是一篇记叙文，作者通过自己的经历说明刻意地制造一年中“最棒的日子”，确实能让那一天感觉大不相同，能帮我们创造积极的情绪价值。
32. 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Even if it felt ridiculous, this effort to make what seemed to be common feel extraordinary usually worked.(即使这感觉很荒谬，但这种把看似普通的事情变得非同寻常的努力通常是有效的)”可知，作者把平凡的某一天标记为最棒的日子，这种做法通常是有效的，结合划线词所在句中的“when I marked them as such(当我像这样去标记时)”可推知，本句意为：当我像这样去标记时，平凡的经历也感觉大不相同，Mundane意为“平凡的”。故选B项。
33. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“So I tried to declare a best day in advance.(于是，我试着提前指定一个最棒的日子)”及“Mundane experiences felt different when I marked them as such.(当我像这样去标记时，平凡的经历也感觉大不相同)”可知，作者提前去指定某一天为“一年中最棒的日子”，结合第三段中“Marking experiences this way is one key to happiness, said Dr. Robert Waldinger, a psychiatrist, the director of the Harvard Happiness Study.(哈佛大学幸福研究主任、精神科医师Robert Waldinger博士说，以这种方式标记经历是幸福的关键之一。)”可知，作者引用Robert Waldinger的话是为了证明自己的做法是正确的。故选A项。
34. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“But lately I’ve found the unhappiness during the pandemic made unhappy before, too. The loneliness that I worried at times might become a permanent area of adulthood.(但最近我发现，疫情期间的不开心也让以前不开心。我有时担心的孤独可能会成为成年的永久区域)”可知，对待疫情期间的消极情绪，作者应该意识到这些情绪在其他时期也存在。故选D项。
35. 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，结合最后一段中“So I’m going to go back to my practice of declaring a best day in advance. I’ll start by declaring today or tomorrow or next Monday one of the best days of 2022.(所以我要回到我的习惯做法，提前指定一个最棒的日子。首先，我要宣布今天、明天或下周一是2022年最棒的日子之一)”可知，作者通过自己的经历说明刻意地制造一年中“最棒的日子”，确实能让那一天感觉大不相同，能帮我们创造积极的情绪价值，B项“你可以让任何一天成为最棒的日子”适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】
这是一篇记叙文。介绍了中国航天事业背后的英雄Deng Qingming。
56. 考查形容词派生词。句意：当许多中国人庆祝国家最新的太空行走时，他们也想到了中国航天事业取得伟大成就背后的英雄。根据句意可知，此处应用late的派生形容词latest，意为“最近的，最新的”，作定语。故填latest。
57. 考查名词复数。句意：当许多中国人庆祝国家最新的太空行走时，他们也想到了中国航天事业取得伟大成就背后的英雄。根据“those great achievements China’s space industry has made”可知，完成中国航天事业成就的人不是一个，所以此处应用hero的复数形式。故填heroes。
58. 考查时态。句意：在新浪微博和微信朋友圈，自从中国最新的载人飞船“神舟十三号”进入天宫空间站以来，关于55岁的中国人民解放军航天员Deng Qingming的帖子急剧增加。根据连词since引导的时间状语从句可知，此处应用现在完成时。主语posts为复数，主谓一致，故填have increased。
59. 考查非谓语动词。句意：中央电视台还在各大媒体平台上发布了一段短视频，向Deng致敬，称他是坚持和奉献的典范。根据句意可知，此处应用动词不定式，作状语，表目的。故填to honor。
60. 考查冠词。句意：1984年6月，Deng加入中国人民解放军空军，并开始在河北省一所飞行学院接受飞行员训练。后文单数可数名词pilot为泛指概念，应用不定冠词限定，其发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
61. 考查形容词（不定代词）。句意：毕业后，他开始参加中国人民解放军空军的航天员选拔工作，最终与另外13名男性航天员一起入选。根据句意和后文“13 male ayiators”可知，此处应用形容词another修饰名词，表示“另外13名男性航天员”。故填another。
62. 考查让步状语从句。句意：在接下来的几年里，尽管Deng一直致力于训练，努力争取进入太空的机会，但他总是与好运近在咫尺，至今仍未实现。后文“he has always been inches away from good luck and has yet to make it”和前文之间存在转折关系，因位于句子开头部分，故此处可用从属连词while或although或though引导让步状语从句。故填while/although/though。
63. 考查介词。句意：在接下来的几年里，尽管Deng一直致力于训练，努力争取进入太空的机会，但他总是与好运近在咫尺，至今仍未实现。struggle for“为……而奋斗”是固定搭配，符合句意。故填for。
64. 考查副词。句意：然而，正如Deng所预料的那样，他的女儿Deng Manqi毕业后成功入选中国载人航天工程。修饰动词selected应用副词。故填successfully。
65. 考查让步状语从句。句意：你必须坚持下去，不管等待你的是什么。根据句意和no matter可知，此处引导让步状语从句，no matter what“无论什么……”，连接代词what在从句中作主语，指代事物。故填what。

九、读后续写
67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
On Friday evening, Emmett and I went to a movie as scheduled. After purchasing the tickets and drinks, we entered the cinema with delight beforehand, waiting for the beginning of the movie.
When I got up in the middle of the movie, Emmett whispered, “Carter, where are you going?” “I forgot to call my mom to tell her what time to pick us up.” I whispered back, leaving my jacket on the seat.
I squeezed past the people in my row, trying not to step on any feet while still watching the screen. I didn’t want to miss a thing. Balfour, the good guy in the movie, was trapped in an underground cave.
When I came back, Balfour’s flashlight almost went out. An enormous snake was moving toward him, twisting its body. Balfour struggled to loosen the chains around his hands and feet to reach his magic cape. With the cape around him, he could completely disappear.
I crawled back across eight people (I counted on the way out), never taking my eyes off the screen. I sat down in my seat slowly, then picked up my drink, and swallowed it quickly. But suddenly my brain said, “That’s not coke. That’s lemonade.” I looked down at the cup, just as the girl next to me shouted, “He drank my lemonade!”
“ Shhhh!” the people around us said, making quiet complaints.
“ Where’s Emmett?” I asked, as if the girl had hidden him under her seat.
“ Carter, down here,” Emmett answered in a low voice. He was two rows ahead of me. I was in the wrong row! Everyone was turning around to look at me.
“ Here,” I said, handing the girl her drink.
“Eww,” she said. “You have had a drink of it, so you owe me a lemonade.”
“Shhhh!” everyone said again.
“OK, OK,” I said, starting my crawl across eight sets of feet again. Everybody were complaining as I inched out.
“Don’t come back,” the boy on the end said.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
But the problem was that I had to come back to bring this girl a new lemonade.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I thought about crawling out of this row and back into Emmett’s row, but I couldn’t.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
But the problem was that I had to come back to bring this girl a new lemonade. I bought a lemonade, took a deep breath, and went back. This time, I bent low, looking at every person on the end of each row. When I saw the same boy, I moved through fast to get back to that girl. Unfortunately, I stepped on a boy’s feet and banged my knee. After apologizing to him, I quickly fell into the seat next to the girl and handed her the lemonade. Everyone around us all turned to stare at me again with some complaints.
Paragraph 2
I thought about crawling out of this row and back into Emmett’s row, but I couldn’t. Maybe I would just stay there until the movie ended. Thanking me for the lemonade, the girl talked about the plots I missed. I whispered back, “Thanks.” When the lights of the cinema came on, I grabbed my jacket on the seat and hurried out. Emmett caught up with me, “Do you know that girl? “No.” I answered. “Then why do you have her jacket?” I looked down and found a bright pink jacket. “Here I go again,” I said with embarrassment, spotting the girl in the crowd.
