第一节(共15小题,每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Grassroots evening
We want you to show your families all the pathways in your area, so let’s invite your local providers to attend an open evening at your school. Each will set up a small stall (摊位) in your playground or school field with a taster activity of the activities they offer. This evening will be an opportunity to get more of your children moving more often.
After-school activities
Things are getting back to normal and the easing of the lockdown restrictions has seen our after-school clubs coming back online. We are now running 10 clubs a week and it’s clear to see how much the children have missed it. We’ll be back to have around 40 clubs a week and we’re in conversation with schools across the region.
Active days
Since September many of our partner schools have asked children to come in PE kit on their PE days. It reduces the time spent getting changed and means the pupils can stay in their PE kits after all day, which gives schools a great opportunity to create “Active Days”. PE lessons and Outdoor and Adventurous can be all in an action packed.
Spiral PE
Our partner schools have access to tools which are there to help them maximise their impact. We suggest getting the most out of the PE Rewards section — award PE star of the Week and PE Class of the week certificates and run these as competitions throughout the school. The class which wins the PE Class of the week most often wins an active prize.
We’re here to help, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch to find out more.

A. Grassroots evening. B. After-school activities.
C. Active days. D. Spiral PE.
22. What is special about Spiral PE?

C. To analyze the importance of PE lessons.
D. To introduce ways of selecting PE courses.
“Life is a practice of flexible performances,” said a Canadian college senior who won a competition for her feeling on the theme “How COVID-19 changed your senior year”. The competition, sponsored by a nonprofit organization, invited high school and college seniors to record a video that answers the question. Participants included 379 students in 49 countries, but it was the words of a 19-year-old film student that stole judges’ hearts in the competition.
A student at John Abbott College, April Judd used humor and creative words to describe what life was like moving back in with her family and missing the chance to say goodbye to all her friends at the arts college. Her inspiring message details how students can use this experience to their advantage and “shape the universe into the future they want to see”. The terrible disease actually drove April to find the good aspects in what our world is going through. “In the chaos that our world is experiencing right now, it’s really easy to get caught up in the negative,” the senior said. “We are all truly in this together and are all able to change and mature so as to make this world a better place.”
Patricia Cogley, host of the competition, said, “For many college and high school seniors in the graduating class, the disease has obviously changed their final year. But, true to our mission, the competition gave the young around the world the opportunity to showcase their creativity and ideas for a better future, despite this challenging and unprecedented (前所未有的) time.”
Not just seniors, anyone can draw inspiration from April’s uplifting message, which won hers $1,000. Especially take note of her conclusion, which was delivered with a smile; “We got this — or, at least we will — eventually!”
24. What does the author say about April?
A. She majored in performing art in college.
B. She was worried about the future.
C. She lived with her parents in her senior year.
D. She said goodbye to friends before graduation.
25. Why did April win the competition?
A. She was very humorous.
B. She saw beauty in the tough time.
C. She expressed feelings honestly.
D. She answered the question smartly.
26. What do we know about the competition?
A. It required a video entry.
B. It attracted juniors worldwide.
C. It was held in Canada.
D. It was sponsored by Patricia.
27. What message does the author want to convey in the text?
A. People should be united in the crisis.
B. The disease affected people severely.
C. The young must show their creativity.
D. People will surely overcome the difficulty.
Buying furniture is easier than ever. You can even order a new table and chairs online without ever leaving home. But did you ever think about how furniture is made? The process begins with trees but now researchers have found a better way: growing it in a lab instead of a forest. Instead of cutting down trees and adding to deforestation, Velasquez-Garcia said, “If you want a table, then you should just grow a table.”
The research group found a way to actually grow plant tissue (组织) — wood and fiber — in a lab that is similar to the way cultured meat is grown. While there is still a long way to go to actually grow a table, the team was able to grow structures from cells from zinnia leaves.
Making furniture and other items from biomaterials could eliminate cutting down trees in forests. “The way we get these materials hasn’t changed in centuries and is very inefficient,” said Velasquez-Garcia. “This is a real chance to avoid all that inefficiency.”
There are other benefits to using lab wood too. Lab grown wood can be handled to take on any shape — like 3 D printing — so it may be possible to build a table without glue or screwing parts together.
Beckwith, a mechanical engineering PhD student, was inspired by a visit to a farm to try to make land-use more efficient and environmentally sound. “That got me thinking: Can we be more strategic (战略上的) about what we’re getting out of our process? Can we get more yield for our inputs?” she told MIT News. “I wanted to find a more efficient way to use land and resources so that we could let more farmlands remain wild, or to remain lower production but allow for greater biodiversity.”
Today, the two largest uses of trees are to make wood products and paper. When new biomaterials become readily available, forests will lose their economic value and will be preserved for their environmental, health, and recreational value. These researchers, like Velasquez-Garcia, are speaking for the trees.
28. What does the author think of growing furniture according to Paragraph 1?
A. It turns out to be convenient.
B. It’ll cut down daily expense.
C. It might have a bright future.
D. It’s as important as making furniture.
29. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Risk. B. Fancy. C. Remove. D. Delay.
30. What is the purpose of Beckwith’s growing furniture?
A. To make large profits.
B. To keep biodiversity.
C. To increase production.
D. To use wild resources.
31. What’s the key to protecting forests?
A. Wide use of new biomaterials.
B. Less use of wood products and paper.
C. Making effective forest laws.
D. Caring more for the environment.
“I think therefore I am” — mind over matter. What you expect from yourself and the world makes a big impact on the results of your efforts.
From a neuroscience perspective, the brain will believe anything you tell it, right and wrong. Research has shown that this phenomenon can have huge benefits when we approach a significant or difficult task. “We do know there’s the mind-body connection, which isn’t kind of mysterious or magical, and that this is in itself changing our physiology,” said David Robson, a science writer. “Think that you could catch up in a race or that your public speaking anxiety could help you perform better.”
Expectations, even negative ones, are meant to help our brains navigate (理解) a complicated world by simplifying our predictions of the wide range of outcomes to any situation. Those negative expectations can help us anticipate and avoid danger, but they aren’t always up to date with the context that surrounds us. And when you’re in the face of a challenge, inaccurate information can create obstacles of its own. Pessimistic thoughts really just put you in a position where you’re more vulnerable to actually experiencing that unpleasant or negative outcome.
Setting more positive expectations and hopefully acquiring the rewards starts with how you talk to yourself. When baseball players step up to the plate, they tell themselves they will knock it out of the park. Being aware of your thoughts and how you talk to yourself about a challenge can make a big impact.
We tend to see ourselves and our obstacles in two ways. Either our abilities are fixed or can grow, and our obstacles are a threat or a challenge. Shifting focus to believe that we can see difficulties as a challenge to be met rather than a threat to be avoided has been shown to result in more success. If you interpret that situation as a challenge, your physiological response will empower and equip you to be more creative and effective.
Having realistically optimistic expectations does better equip each of us to take up a challenge with our best resources, experts said.
32. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The outcome of pessimistic thoughts.
B. The connection between the mind and body.
C. The advantages of positive expectations.
D. The pros and cons of negative expectations.
33. What will make baseball players more positive when games begin?
A. Thinking out loud.
B. Stepping up to the plate.
C. Challenging themselves.
D. Improving their abilities.
34. According to the text, what can promote greater success?
A. Avoiding threats and troubles.
B. Removing our obstacles in the way.
C. Shifting our focus to something else.
D. Regarding difficulties as challenges.
35. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A history book.
B. A fantasy novel.
C. A science & wellness paper.
D. A sports & health report.

It was eight o’clock on a May morning, and Micah, my 17-year-old daughter, was already in our spare room upstairs. It had been her temporary eleventh-grade classroom ever since schools had moved to remote learning due to the pandemic.
From the kitchen, I listened for the sound of her tapping on her laptop or her talking with her classmates in their discussion sessions. We’d barely left the house for 10 weeks straight.
“Mom, everyone is hanging out today!” Micah’s voice echoed from upstairs. “Why can’t I?” I stepped up the stairs. Micah was lying on the floor wearing her pajamas, her laptop, school iPad and cellphone in front of her.
“It’s not fair,” she said.“ I have no one I can be with. I can’t wait until I’m 18 and can do what I want.”
We’d had this conversation before. Still, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. I was sick of being alone too. Even though Micah and I were home together more than we had been in years, we might as well have been living in separate worlds.
“Wanna watch videos later?” I asked. “Bake some cookies?”
“No, thanks.” Micah shook her head, as if the idea of doing something together was impossible.
I closed the door. I was used to Micah’s rejection, but it still made me upset. Teenage independence is healthy, but I worried if I didn’t find a way to bond with my girl soon, I might never be close to her again. She’d be 18 in the fall and had already convinced herself she didn’t need me anymore. Maybe she was right. No matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to reach her.
That evening, I logged onto a social app and saw a friend’s children playing with their new kitten. My mind went back to when I was in high school and our family moved. It was hard making friends. Mom surprised me with an eight-week-old gray kitten that I named Miss Muffet. Having a kitten to love and train brightened my days and got me through that difficult, lonely time. Maybe Micah would like a kitten.
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。
I asked if she wanted a kitten.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the car, Micah put the kitten under her chin.

3. 细节理解题。根据第一段“The competition, sponsored by a nonprofit organization, invited high school and college seniors to record a video that answers the question.(该比赛由一个非营利组织赞助,邀请高中生和大学四年级学生录制一段视频来回答这个问题)”可知,比赛要求参与者提交一个视频参赛作品。故选A。

【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家发现在实验室中培育植物组织、木材和纤维的方法和这一发现可能产生的影响。
1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“The process begins with trees but now researchers have found a better way: growing it in a lab instead of a forest. Instead of cutting down trees and adding to deforestation, Velasquez-Garcia said, ‘If you want a table, then you should just grow a table.’(这个过程从树木开始,但现在研究人员发现了一个更好的方法:在实验室里而不是在森林里生长。Velasquez-Garcia说:“如果你想要一张桌子,那么应该自己种一张桌子。”)”可推知,作者认为种植家具更环保,是更好的选择,所以可能会有一个光明的未来。故选C。
2. 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“The research group found a way to actually grow plant tissue (组织) — wood and fiber — in a lab that is similar to the way cultured meat is grown. (该研究小组发现了一种在实验室中培育植物组织、木材和纤维的方法,这与培育肉类的方法类似)”和第三段中“Making furniture and other items from biomaterials could eliminate cutting down trees in forests.(用生物材料制作家具和其他物品可以eliminate砍伐森林中的树木)”可知,科学家发现在实验室中培育植物组织、木材和纤维的方法。由此可知,用这种方法来制作家具和其他物品可以减少对森林的砍伐。由此推知,划线词eliminate与remove意思相近,指“去除,排除”。故选C。
3. 细节理解题。根据第五段中Beckwith的话“I wanted to find a more efficient way to use land and resources so that we could let more farmlands remain wild, or to remain lower production but allow for greater biodiversity.(我想找到一种更有效的方式来利用土地和资源,这样我们就可以让更多的农田保持野生状态,或者保持低产量,但同时允许更大的生物多样性。)”可知,Beckwith种植家具的目的是保持生物多样性。故选B。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When new biomaterials become readily available, forests will lose their economic value and will be preserved for their environmental, health, and recreational value.(当新的生物材料变得唾手可得时,森林将失去其经济价值,并将因其环境、健康和娱乐价值而得到保护)”可推知,保护森林的关键是新型生物材料的广泛应用。故选A。
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人的思想可以对人产生巨大影响。
1. 概括大意题。根据第三段“Those negative expectations can help us anticipate and avoid danger, but they aren’t always up to date with the context that surrounds us. And when you’re in the face of a challenge, inaccurate information can create obstacles of its own. Pessimistic thoughts really just put you in a position where you’re more vulnerable to actually experiencing that unpleasant or negative outcome.(这些消极的期望可以帮助我们预测和避免危险,但它们并不总是与我们周围的环境相适应。当你面临挑战时,不准确的信息会自己制造障碍。悲观的想法实际上只是让你处于一种更容易经历不愉快或消极结果的境地)”可知,本段主要介绍了消极期望的利与弊。故选D。
2. 细节理解题。根据第四段“When baseball players step up to the plate, they tell themselves they will knock it out of the park. Being aware of your thoughts and how you talk to yourself about a challenge can make a big impact.(当棒球运动员走到垒板前,他们告诉自己他们会把它击出场地。意识到自己的想法以及如何与自己谈论挑战会产生很大的影响)”可知,比赛开始前,棒球运动员意识到自己的想法并跟自己交谈,可以变得更积极。所以A项“边想边说”符合语境,故选A。
3. 细节理解题。根据第五段“Shifting focus to believe that we can see difficulties as a challenge to be met rather than a threat to be avoided has been shown to result in more success.(事实证明,将重点转移到相信我们可以将困难视为需要应对的挑战,而不是需要避免的威胁,可以取得更大的成功)”可知,将困难视为需要应对的挑战,可以促进更大的成功。故选D。
4. 文章来源题。根据第二段“From a neuroscience perspective, the brain will believe anything you tell it, right and wrong. Research has shown that this phenomenon can have huge benefits when we approach a significant or difficult task.(从神经科学的角度来看,大脑会相信你说的任何事情,对的和错的。研究表明,当我们处理重要或困难的任务时,这种现象可以产生巨大的好处)”可知,本文主要介绍了人的思想可以对人产生巨大影响,推测文章可能来自科学与健康论文。故选C。
【答案】36. D 37. F 38. A 39. C 40. G
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了实现健康老龄化的一个新的方式是提升创造力。文章提出了几个关于如何提升创造力方法。
1. 根据前文“If you’re interested in staying healthy as you age — and living longer — you might want to add a different set of muscles to your workout routine; your creative ones.(如果你想随着年龄的增长保持健康 —— 活得更长 —— 你可能想在你的锻炼计划中增加一组不同的肌肉:那些涉及创造力的肌肉。)”可知,后文要强调的是创造力的重要性,即解释为什么增加创造力可以保持健康。D项“Research suggests creativity may be the key to healthy aging.(研究表明,创造力可能是健康老龄化的关键。)”承接上文,指出创造力是实现老龄化健康的关键。故选D。
2. 根据前文“Some studies show that travelers have more creative success, and that people who enjoy unfamiliar experiences perform better on open-ended questions calling for many ideas.(一些研究表明,旅行者更有创造性的成功,喜欢陌生经历的人在回答需要很多想法的开放式问题时表现得更好。)”可知,在一些开放性问题的测试中,一些喜欢陌生经历的人即具有创造力经验的人是表现的更好的。由此推知,后文陈述这些测试的重要意义。F项“Performance on these tests may predict aspects of real-world creativity.(在这些测试中的表现可以预测现实世界创造力的某些方面。)”符合题意,故选F。
3. 根据句子结构,设空处为段落小标题,应该是祈使句结构。故可从A和B项来选择。根据后文“Generating ideas is one part of the creativity, but knowledge is required to identify the ones that will work. Even if mental speed declines, a person’s base of knowledge is well-preserved as it expands over time.(产生想法是创造力的一部分,但需要知识来识别那些可行的想法。即使思维速度下降,随着时间的推移,一个人的知识基础会得到很好的保存。)”可知,虽然思维能力会下降,如果坚持应用所学的知识,那么知识基础会得到很好的保护。故A项“Apply knowledge(应用知识)”符合本段主旨,且适合作为小标题。故选A。
4. 根据后文的“New Yorker Tobi Zausner discovered her mature painting style only after a severe drug poisoning. (纽约人Tobi Zausner在一次严重的药物中毒后发现了自己成熟的绘画风格。)”可知,逆境是可以帮助人塑造和激发创造力的。C项“Facing up to challenges can inspire creativity.(面对挑战可以激发创造力。)”符合语境。故选C。
5. 根据前文“Following a battle against cancer, she became a psychologist and wrote a book about adversity followed by creative breakthroughs, When Walls Become Doorways.(在与癌症抗争后,她成为了一名心理学家,并写了一本关于逆境和创造性突破的书——《当墙变成门》。)”推知,下文应该阐述该书中的内容。G项“An example in the book is a study of artists who had experienced illnesses(书中的一个例子是对经历过疾病的艺术家的研究。)”承接前文,the book指上文的When Walls Become Doorways这本书。故选G。
【答案】41. B 42. D 43. A 44. C 45. A 46. B 47. D 48. A 49. C 50. B 51. D 52. C 53. B 54. C 55. A

【答案】I asked if she wanted a kitten. She replied excitedly, “Oh, yes! I want an orange kitten.” Much to my delight, she didn’t refuse me this time, which made me think this was an opportunity to improve our relationship. So I tried asking for help online. Fortunately, a friend read it and said she happened to have four one-month-old kittens. We drove to her home and Micah focused her eyes on one orange kitten and picked it up. “This is the one I want,” she said, smiling.
In the car, Micah put the kitten under her chin. And then she said, “Thank you, Mom!” Immediately, a warm feeling came over me. I’d never seen such a tender look in her eyes. When we got home, we played with the kitten together and gave it the name Ron after a character from Harry Potter. Normally Micah would feel embarrassed to shop with me, but while shopping for her kitten, she walked by my side pleasantly. It was this kitten that brought me closer to my daughter.
