Not only was Gene Stratton-Porter one of Indiana's most well-known authors, but she was also an environmentalist, photographer, and artist. Gene shared her passion for the environment and wildlife in her writing and used her influence to fight for the preservation of nature and alert others to the importance of their natural surroundings.
Born in 1863 in Indiana, she grew up with a love of nature and spent most of her innocent childhood wandering through farms and forests, catching butterflies and observing birds like doves and small animals like geese. In 1886, Gene married Charles Porter. Although she expressed happiness with her family life, Gene lived a more independent life traditionally unavailable to women in the late nineteenth century. Gene insisted on writing and photographing wildlife around her cabin near Limberlost Swamp. There she expressed her passionate feelings towards nature and its preservation. She spent much time in Limberlost, and later the cabin became the site where she conducted field studies on Indiana's natural environment.
Early in her life, Gene studied nature in the Limberlost Swamp and recorded her thorough observations through photographs and detailed writings. Gene published dozens of books—novels, nature studies, poetry collections and children's books. Her books mainly connect readers to natural settings and earn her a high reputation. One of her best-known novels A Girl of the Limberlost is about a lonely girl who lives on a farm and escapes from her sufferings in Limberlost.
Gene's legacy（遗留物）is visible not only within her books, photography and films but also within the Limberlost Swamp, which eventually faded away to the farmland. Fortunately, through her hard work and dedication, the land is slowly being restored to its natural state, with over 400 acres preserved for nature study today.
24. Which of the following can best describe Gene?
A. Considerate. B. Mysterious. C. Productive. D. Generous.
25. What can we learn about Gene in the 1880s?
A. She conveyed her passion for natural conservation.
B. She was absorbed in her happy family life totally.
C. She spent an unforgettable childhood on the farm.
D. She moved to Limberlost to enjoy independence.
26. What made Gene obtain a wide recognition?
A. Publishing many books of different types. B. Teaching herself to learn photography.
C. Taking various pictures of surroundings. D. Getting her readers more access to nature.
27. What is Limberlost Swamp like now?
A. It centers on preserving the wildlife. B. It is turning into its original condition.
C. It offers cabins for scientific research. D. It has transferred to farmland forever.
C
Apples have always played a significant yet diverse role in history. Today apples continue to astonish in medicine, with headlines reporting that an apple a day really does have health benefits. In 2013, researchers in Oxford suggested that either an apple a day or a statin（a kind of drug）seemed to be equally successful at preventing heart attacks and strokes in people over the age of 50.
EPIC study, one of the biggest studies of its kind, involves half a million people and looks at the effects of eating fruit and vegetables on disease. Participants consuming at least eight portions a day had an astonishing 22% lower risk of heart disease, and risks of some cancers were slightly reduced. However, other cancers were unaffected, and there was no real effect on diabetes.
How might the humble apple be declaring war on heart disease and cancer, two of our biggest killers? The answer might lie in polyphenols（多酚）in apples, which is useful for protecting the fruit from disease and also giving it color and flavor. They have the potential to protect our body by reducing blood stickiness and cholesterol（胆固醇）levels.
Several studies also show a reduction in blood pressure when more fruit and vegetables are eaten. Furthermore, apples contain a fibre called pectin（果胶）which sticks to cholesterol in the body, slowing their absorption. What is clear is that the apple is a complex mix of components, working together for the good of our health.
But can we eat enough apples a day to keep the doctor away? Eating too many may not be a good idea, especially with a risk of lasting exposure to low levels of pesticide. Some people are even allergic to apples, and they can wear away outer layer of tooth. The Department of Health's advice to consume "5-a-day"（including both fruit and vegetables）might be a realistic starting point.
28. Which of the following do the researchers agree with?
A. An apple a day can successfully cure heart diseases.
B. Eating fruit and vegetables can reduce diabetes greatly.
C. Apples and medicine have similar effect in some cases.
D. Those eating apples have a lower risk of all cancers.
29. Why are polyphenols and pectin mentioned in the text?
A. To make a comparison. B. To give advice on health.
C. To tell what apples contain. D. To clarify how apples work.
30. What does the underlined phrase "5-a-day" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. An apple and five vegetables per day. B. Five apples in different times every day.
C. Two apples and three vegetables every day. D. Five portions of fruit and vegetables per day.
31. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A biology textbook. B. A health magazine.
C. A travel brochure. D. A nursing report.
D
Emerging economies struggled to grow through the 2010s and pessimism covers them now. People wonder how they will pay debts during the COVID-19 and how they can grow rapidly as they did in the past in an era of deglobalisation（去全球化）.
The freshest of many answers to this issue is the fast—spreading digital revolution. The digital revolution is already as progressive in emerging economies as developed ones. Among the top 30 nations by income from digital services as a share of gross domestic product（GDP）, 16are in the emerging world. Indonesia, for example, is further advanced by this measure than France or Canada. And since 2017, digital income has been growing in emerging countries at an average annual pace of 26 percent, compared with 11 percent in the developed ones.
How can it be that poorer nations are adopting common digital technologies faster than the rich? One explanation is habit and its absence. In societies filled with physical stores and services, customers are often comfortable with them and slow to abandon the providers. In countries where people have difficulty even finding a bank or a doctor, they will jump at the first digital option that comes along. Outsiders have a hard time grasping the impact digital services can have on underserved（服务不足的）populations. Nations lacking in schools, hospitals and banks can quickly bridge these gaps by establishing online services. Though only 5 percent of Kenyans carry credit cards, more than 70 percent have access to digital banking.
It's early days, too. As economist Carlota Perez has shown, tech revolutions last a long time. Innovations like the car and the steam engine were still transforming economies half a century later. Now, the fading era of globalisation will limit the number of emerging markets, but the era of rapid digitisation has only just begun. This offers many developing economies a revolutionary new path to catch up with the living standards of the developed world.
32. What can we know about the digital revolution?
A. It increases people's debts in deglobalisation.
B. It prevents emerging economy from developing.
C. It advances in emerging and developed economies.
D. It develops most rapidly in Indonesia in terms of GDP.
33. Where are people more willing to accept digital services?
A. In economies lacking in online services.
B. In countries short of basic physical facilities.
C. In nations with adequate stores and services.
D. In societies easy to access doctors and banks.
34. What does the author think of the future of digitisation?
A. Stable. B. Hopeful. C. Depressing. D. Challenging.
35. What's the main idea of the text?
A. Digital technology saves emerging economies.
B. Deglobalisation limits technology revolutions.
C. Emerging economies struggle in the pandemic.
D. Digital revolution grows better in globalisation.

For making contact and communicating with a person, effective eye contact is essential to our everyday interaction with people, and also to those who want to be effective communicators in public places. 36 .
Generally in Western societies and many other cultures, eye contact with a person is expected to be regular but not overly persistent. 37 , causing the person who's the object of a person's stare to feel overly studied and uncomfortable.
38 . The New Zealand Medical Journal reported that one reason so many young children fall victim to attacks by pet dogs is their overly-lasting eye contact with pets, which causes them to feel threatened and defensive.
Overly lasting eye contact is also a sign of a person's over-awareness of the messages they are giving. In the case of people who try to lie to someone, they may distort（扭曲）their eye contact so that they're not avoiding it. 39 . But on the contrary, evasive（逃避的）eye contact is a sign of discomfort. Why do we avoid looking at a person? It may be because we feel ashamed to be looking at them if we're being dishonest of trying to take them in. Evasive eye contact may also a sign of dishonesty.
However, Scotland's University of Stirling found that, in a question-and-answer study among children, those who maintained eye contact were less likely to come up with the correct answer to a question than those who looked away to consider their response. 40 , when this energy could be spent on deep thinking.
A. This is a widely recognized indicator of lying
B. Constant eye contact is often considered to be rude
C. Eye contact is the act of looking into someone's eyes
D. But there's something you may not know about eye contact
E. Overpowering eye contact can make the other person excited
F. Even between humans and non-humans, lasting eye contact is sometimes unadvisable
G. Eye contact, as a socializing device, can take a surprising amount of effort to maintain

第二节（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。
After graduating from college, I worked as a salesman for a piano company. We advertised our pianos in small town newspapers and then, when we received many replies, we would load our little trucks, drive into the area and sell the pianos to those who had replied.
Every time we advertised, we would receive a reply on a postcard which said, “Please bring me a new piano for my little granddaughter. It must be red mahogany（红木）. I can pay $10a month with my egg money.” Of course, we could not sell a new piano for $10 a month. No finance company would carry a contract with payments that small, so we ignored her postcards.
One day, however, I happened to be in that area calling on other replies, and out of curiosity I decided to meet the old lady. I found pretty much what I expected: The old lady lived in a one-room cabin in the middle of a cotton field. The cabin had a dirt floor and there were chickens in the house. Obviously, she could not have qualified to purchase anything on credit—no car, no phone, no real job, nothing but a roof over her head. I could see daylight through the roof in several places.
Her little granddaughter was about 10, barefoot and wearing a feed sack（麻布袋）dress. I explained to the old lady that we could not sell a new piano for $10 a month and that she should stop writing to us every time she saw our advertisement. I drove away heartsick, but my advice had no effect—she still sent us the same postcard every six weeks. Always wanting a new piano, red mahogany, she swore she would never miss a $10 payment. It was sad.
Several years later, I owned my own piano company, and when I advertised in that area, the postcards started coming to me. For months, I ignored them—what else could I do?
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But then, one day when I was in that area, I made a big decision.


Twenty years later, while sitting at a bar, I heard the most beautiful piano music behind me.

M: Does it have a swimming pool?

M: Tatyana is a Russian, and now lives in Canada. She and her husband, who is a businessman, and their two sons moved to Canada in 1998. She was appointed to a position in a science laboratory. And now Tatyana is an assistant professor at the University of Alberta.
At first, her greatest problem was her poor English. Not being able to understand or express herself fully made it difficult for her to take her children to register at school, and she couldn't give them the support they needed with their homework. All that soon changed, however. She learned to speak English in a quite unusual way, by joining Toastmasters International and paying close attention to the speeches that people made.

But then, one day when I was in that area, I made a big decision. Despite knowing that it was a terrible business decision, I loaded a red mahogany piano onto my little truck. I delivered the piano to the old lady. I placed the new piano in the house, advised her and the little girl to keep the chickens off it and left. I was sure that I had just thrown away a new piano. To my surprise, the payments came in on time with a thank-you note every month.
Twenty years later, while sitting at a bar, I heard the most beautiful piano music behind me. Looking around, I saw a lovely young woman playing a very nice grand piano. Shocked by her great performance, I moved to a table beside her. She stopped and smiled at me politely, "Aren't you the man who sold my grandma a piano a long time ago?" It didn't ring a bell, so she started to explain. And I suddenly remembered it was her, the little barefoot girl in the feed sack dress! I was so glad that my kindness did make a real difference.
