 You may study differently from your friends，but your study habits are not wrong!

 Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common．They love doing things together，such as going to movies and concerts，shopping，or just sitting at a s mall cafe．Since they take a lot of the same school subjects，they would love to study together，but they find this impossible．Their working styles are completely different so that they can't be in the same room while they are studying!

 Kelly would like to study in a clean，open space，while Maria works best with books，paper and other things around her．Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room，but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on．Kelly can sit for hours without moving，and often gets all her homework done in one go．Maria，however，is always getting up，and says that she thinks best when she's on the move．

 You might be asking yourself：which way of studying gets better results？Many people believe that a silent，tidy environment is the way to go，but that doesn't seem necessarily true．Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus their attention，because it makes them form a "wall" in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus．

 So，if you're a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center，don't worry about it．If you work in total silence，that's OK，too．Judging from Kelly's and Maria's study habits，the best way to study is the way that works for you．In their very different ways，both of them do well in school，and both finish their work in time as well．

26．_______ together is hard for Kelly and  Maria．

 A．Hanging out B．Watching movies C．Studying

27．Paragraph 3 mainly tells us _______．

 A．Kelly studies much better than Maria

 B．Kelly and Maria have the different study habits

 C．Kelly and Maria have a lot of things in common

28．Outside noise and untidiness _______．

 A．have a bad influence on people's focus

 B．help some people pay more attention to their work

 C．make people build a wall to stay away from others

29．Which of the following is TRUE based on Paragraph 5？

 A．Friends can do better by studying together．

 B．Students who study in silence will be more successful．

 C．Both study habits can help students do well in school．

30．What can be the best title for the passage？

 A．Are you studying the “right” way？

 B．How can you improve your study habits？

 C．Is it possible for friends to study well together？

D

 Modern cities seem to just get bigger and bigger．People have to drive or take long subway rides to work，exercise or have fun．The COVID-19 pandemic（疫情）has made many people rethink what our cities should be like．

 Recently，a group of architects（建筑师）from South Korea have planned a“10-minute city” in Seoul．They will design（设计）a city with many functional（功能性的）areas，including living areas，study rooms，offices and areas for amusement and pleasure．With only a 10-minute walk，people can reach all these places．

 The idea of such a city is not new．In 2016，French-Colombian researcher Carlos Moreno put forward the “15-minute city” idea．Moreno noticed that cities are still driven by petrol-powered transport（使用汽油的交通工具）．People spend too much time getting around．He said his 15-minute city would change our relationship with time and offer “quality of life within short distances（距离）”．

 The COVID-19 pandemic has seen growing interest in the idea because many people were forced to spend most of their time at home，with less chance to go outside of their communities．But within their communities，they can't always get what they need．

 “If our way of life is no longer making sense，perhaps it's time to consider other choices，” French professor Roxana Bobulescu told the website Business Because．Fifteen-minute cities may be one choice．

 But not everyone agrees with the idea．Some people worry that such cities will further gather wealth in the most convenient areas，resulting in high house prices．What do you think？

31．“10-minute city” means _______．

 A．People can travel across a city within 10 minutes

 B．People can find what they need within a 10-minute walk

 C．People in the city can meet each other within a 10-minute walk

32．According to the text，what might Carlos Moreno agree with？

 A．People should have a more convenient city life．

 B．People need to use more petrol-powered transport．

 C．People living in cities should develop good relationships with others．

33．Which of the following can replace（代替）“making sense” in Paragraph 5？

 A．practical B．historical C．magical

34．Some people don't support 10-minute cities because _______．

 A．they enjoy traveling and walking around

 B．they don't want to gather in a certain area

 C．they think houses there will be more expensive

35．What is the purpose of this text？

 A．To introduce what cities could be like in the future．

 B．To show people the advantages of “10-minute” city．

 C．To call on people to use environmental-friendly transport．

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

 阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。

 Gifts are a perfect way of showing how much you care about someone，especially during some important events such as graduation，birthday or wedding．36．_______ You can gift someone at any time if the gift is really fit．To pick the right gift，you'd better keep the following three tips in mind．

 When you prepare a gift for somebody，you'd better not choose the gift he dislikes or hates．

He may feel hurt even though you meant well．37．_______ You can make a list of what he likes the most and then try to find gifts that reflect his interests．

 Gifts don't have to be flashy（华而不实）things．38．_______ Since presents should be a surprise，don't ask the person what they need．Instead，listen carefully during a conversation，as they may mention a problem that might be facing．

 Gifts can be an experience instead of objects．39．_______ Studies have even shown that a person remembers an experience more than objects．For example，if the friends love a particular band，you can take them to the concerts．It will be a surprise that they will never forget．

 40．_______ You can make the right choice by knowing a person's interest．You can also consider giving something that solves the person's problem or gift him an experience instead of objects．

第三节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

With the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games behind us，the 19-year-old skier（滑雪运动员）Eileen Gu bagged two gold medals（金牌）and one silver（银牌），which made her one of the most shining superstars this year．

Born to an American father and a Chinese mother，Gu decided to compete for China in Beijing Winter Olympics and she took pride in it．Just two months later in August，2019，she won her first gold medal for China at the Australia New Zealand Cup．Her power continued to grow in World Championships in March 2021．

 People say she is talented．But Gu says that talent takes up just a little of her wins．It is her hard work that truly matters．While going to school in San Francisco，Gu could only practice on weekends．She spent eight hours going to the ski hill and back，doing her homework on the way and making full use of her time at the hill to practice skiing．

 She said she was crazy about skiing because it gives her freedom．It also gives her a strong feeling of satisfaction，especially when she perfectly controls her body and does tricks that others cannot do．

 “Of course I want to win medals and even golds in the game，” Gu said．“But what's more important is to bring out the best in me，enjoy the game and love the sport．”

 Gu hopes that her action can be an inspiration to young girls，saying “I wanted to introduce snow sports and free skiing to Chinese people，especially to the youth and girls．．．If I can just change one young girl's life and help her break her boundary（界限），then the decision was worth it．”

41．How many medals did Gu get in the 2022 Winter Olympics？

42．When did Gu decide to compete for China in the 2022 Winter Olympics？

43．How does Gu feel when she does tricks others can't do？
