（2022·江苏苏州·校考二模）“We said no to the invitation to the birthday party because my child says they’re not even friends.”
When I read the above words, I felt heartache.
I know birthday parties can be like a trouble, but let’s believe the parents who sent that invitation weren’t trying to get more gifts for their kids or make things more complicated.
For some kids, managing school and friends is easy. Maybe you have a child who’s outgoing, self-confident or maybe you have a child who doesn’t have any problems. However, for some kids, school and friends can be very difficult.
A birthday party is a fun, exciting and good opportunity. It is a chance for the kid on the sidelines to play with other kids who don’t play with him/her at school or who don’t call him/her a friend.
Sometimes even when the birthday party and the theme have been decided on and the difficult decision about whom to invite has been made, there can still be doubts. Those invitations can stay untouched in the bottom of the child’s backpack for days, because he/she is too scared to hand them out.
I don’t know your child, and I don’t know you. I do know there are parents who lie awake at night wondering if their child will have the courage to hand out the invitations in the morning; I do know there are parents who hope they can depend on other parents to teach their children to be kind enough to show up. Maybe you’ll never have to be one of the parents who find it hard. I know what that’s like, because I have children who find it easy. But I also have a child who doesn’t. And because of that, we’ve become a family that says yes to every invitation we receive.
Sometimes a birthday party invitation is not just a birthday party invitation; it’s also an invitation to be a friend.

（2022·江苏苏州·校考二模）What do you want to be when you grow up? My answer has always been a vet.
We didn’t have pets growing up because my mother was scared of animals. She transferred (转移) some of this fear to me. It’s not common you find someone who’s scared of animals but wants to be a vet. Still, I knew this is what I wanted.
Vet school was nothing like I had imagined. Within the first few weeks, any fears I had about being a vet vanished. In the fourth year, we were introduced to surgery. I loved it. Stitching (缝) wounds was like a satisfying game of Tetris (俄罗斯方块), where all the pieces fit beautifully together to make something broken whole again. It solidified (使坚固) my belief that this was the right fit for me.
These were the most challenging and rewarding two years of my life, and before I knew it, they were over. I was officially a veterinary surgeon (兽医). Surprisingly, I felt empty after I finished. Why wasn’t I excited to move on? I had completely forgotten to think about what comes next. I felt as if I had spent the last decade of my life writing exams and working crazy hours only to come out on the other side, completely clueless.
There were so many options to choose from. I could start a clinic, work at another practice or even pursue further studies. It was my father who suggested I travel to gain some perspective. I hesitantly decided to spend some time in New Zealand with my aunt who also happens to be a vet.
New Zealand was beautiful! I finally had a chance to think about what I wanted. One of the vets there allowed me to observe their practice. Working with vet nurses really stood out for me. We don’t have vet nurses in India! It is a blessing to have such experienced and dedicated individuals as a part of your support system. After a whole year of what felt like aimless wandering, this experience helped me decide I wanted to work overseas.
So, to all the other confused vets out there who haven’t figured things out: It’s completely okay to feel confused! Most people feel the same way at some point in their careers. Don’t be afraid to try new things even if you feel difficult or impossible.

（2022·江苏苏州·校考二模）On a freezing cold day, a couple had to move into a small apartment because of their failure in business. The husband worked day and night to support the family but paid no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn’t love me any more. He just cares about his business…not me”.
One day, she was about to take a shower when he stopped her at the door, “Let me take it first, okay?” “Why not me first?” she asked. “I am tired, honey, you take it later, okay?” She was entirely unhappy.

It was so cold to take a shower in such a cold winter. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer. So every day I rushed to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, even if it was only 1℃.

（2022·江苏泰州·统考二模）One of my grandchildren sent me a self-portrait(自画像)she created for her art class. The top half of the portrait shows her hair parted in the middle with her big brown eyes looking through her glasses.
The bottom half of the self-portrait is a bright blue facemask with colourful flowers. It is a clever art project with the facemask as a cover. The mask is removable(可去掉的), but we received her picture with the mask on.
Her eyes looked a bit confused. Who hasn’t looked confused in recent months? Luckily, I think I know what the problem is. The child needs to work on her smize.
Fashion model Tyra Banks created the term “smize” several years ago. A smize is a combination of smile and eyes, meaning to smile with your eyes. Models can make their eyes smile without moving their mouths.
Smizing is big right now. It’s hard to show friendliness when the smiling half of your face is covered. Restaurants are even teaching wait staff to perfect the smize behind facemasks.
You can smize by scrunching(使收缩)up your eyes and using your cheeks to push your eyes up to create a smiling effect. It’s hard to do, but you can learn how to do it by practicing in front of a mirror.
Like most people, I can wear my mask and smile at the same time, but my eyes can’t smile without my mouth. They have an unbreakable bond.
Too bad we often can’t see one another smiling these days because smiling is like yawning-highly contagious(传染的). Smiling and kindly acknowledging on another as fellow human beings wouldn’t be the worst thing to sweep the nation. Go ahead, smize or smile, whatever you can do. Spread it around.
17．Why did the author mention her grandchild’s self-portrait?
A．To show how COVID-19 has affected people’s lives.
B．To explain how people communicate during the pandemic.
C．To raise public awareness of wearing masks.
D．To lead up to the main topic of a special way of smiling.
18．Why do we need to smize, according to the author?
A．To exercise our eye muscles. B．To show friendliness.
C．To calm down. D．To follow a popular trend.
19．What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A．The origin of the smize. B．The benefits of smizing.
C．How to smize. D．The different types of smizes.
20．What might the author agree with?
A．Smizing is similar to yawning.
B．Her cheek fat makes it easier for her to smize.
C．It is important for us to spread smize or smiles.
D．Smizing will become increasingly popular across the nation.

（2022·江苏泰州·统考二模）Pacheco is a senior at Cathedral Catholic High School in California, US. When she was a little girl, her parents let her choose an American Girl doll. She picked one with a hair color and style that matched her own. “She looked like me, and I felt there was a piece of me in her,” said Pacheco. “You see yourself in a doll, and it’s really special to have that connection.”
But what about children with medical condition who don’t like anyone else? Pacheco wanted to give these children the same gift she got as a child. Over the past several months, she has made dolls for kids who have unique facial appearances. “Each of these kids is so special. I hope through these dolls they can see themselves in a new light and really appreciate their beauty.”
Pacheco got the idea for the doll project after remembering a magazine story about “A Doll Like Me”. This is a project that makes custom dolls for children with disabilities. Pacheco reached out to Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, an organization that provides free operations and other medical treatment for children. She asked if she could create similar dolls for some of its clients (顾客).
For this project, Pacheco watched doll-making course, then designed her own patterns and figured out how to make dolls that looked like her clients. It was important to her that the children could see themselves in the dolls, but that their differences would not be the most noticeable feature (特征).
Zulema Gillett got one of Pacheco’s dolls. She said she loved the idea. “Who doesn’t want a doll that looks like them and that they could relate to (产生联系)?” Gillett said.
Michelle Pius, chief development officer for Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, was impressed by Pacheco’s dolls. “It is a very kind and warm-hearted gesture to make dolls that will help a child feel like they’re not alone,” Pius said.

（2022·江苏泰州·统考二模）I’m a procrastinator (有拖延症的人). In university, I should spend a year on my 90-page senior thesis (论文). I didn’t write a word until three days before the deadline. Finally, I wrote 90 pages over 72 hours, pulling not one but two all-nighters to finish just before the deadline. Of course, it was a very bad thesis.
I think that the brain of procrastinators and non-procrastinators are actually different. Both brains have a Rational (理性的) Decision-Maker in them who makes us take action right now. But the procrastinator’s brain also has an Instant Gratification (及时行乐) Monkey who doesn’t like that plan and only cares about two things: easy and fun.
For the procrastinators, it is the Monkey that actually takes the wheel. But how can they start working when really important things happen? It turns out the procrastinator also has a Panic (恐慌的) Monster. He is not active most of the time, but he suddenly wakes up anytime a deadline gets too close. He’s the only thing the Instant Gratification Monkey is afraid of.
Seeing the Panic Monster, the Instant Gratification Monkey goes up a tree and hides! The Rational Decision-Maker can then take the wheel and the procrastinator can start working.
This explains how the procrastinator’s system works. But if it works, why bother?
Well, it’s because there are situations in our lives that don’t have deadlines, like seeing your family or exercising. In all of these non-deadline situations, the Panic Monster doesn’t show up. So the procrastinator’s system actually doesn’t start work.
So what should we do? Maybe we can make something called a Life Calendar. We need to take a long, hard look at that calendar and think about what we’re really procrastinating on.
26．Why does the writer mention his university experience in the first paragraph?
A．To show that we all have limitless talent.
B．To give an example of procrastination.
C．To explain that procrastination is quite common.
D．To prove that procrastinators are able to finish their tasks.
27．What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “take the wheel” in Paragraph 3?
A．Drive a car. B．Be hot active. C．Make a decision. D．Hide quietly.
28．In the writer’s opinion, which of the following goes with the procrastinator’s system?
A．The Rational Decision-Maker doesn’t work.
B．The Instant Gratification Monkey hides for a long time.
C．The Panic Monster never appears before the deadline.
D．The Instant Gratification Monkey is on the right side.
29．The procrastinator’s system sometimes doesn’t start work because ________.
A．there is no Panic Monster in reality B．not everything in life has a deadline
C．the Panic Monster is too lazy to work D．situations in real life are hard to control
30．What is the writer’s suggestion for procrastination?
A．Buy a calendar and use it often. B．Live a long enough life to put things off.
C．Think about what we need. D．Make a plan and work out what’s really important.

Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes. Tian Lishan, 14, at No. High School, thinks online interaction (互动) isn’t enough. “The online teachers don’t really get to know me. When I don’t hand in homework, all I get is a short message instead of real concern,” she said.

（2022·江苏扬州·统考二模）Mistakes are a part of life. I have made a lot of mistakes during my life and learned a lot from them.
I remember several years ago a mistake I made. I planned to fill up my truck with gas for the week. As I drove to the gas station about 18 miles away from my home, I thought of something I needed to pick up at Publix, which was on the way. So I stopped and bought the thing I wanted.
As I turned the key to start the engine, it did not start again. I tried my best to start it but failed. Then, I looked at the fuel tank gauge and saw that it had passed empty, the truck was out of gas. That was a big misatke.
So I called my wife to get a can of gas and bring it to me. I heard silence on the other end, and then I heard chuckling (轻笑). I said sarcastically (挖苦地), “I just want know if you can bring me a can of gas to Publix.” I think she could feel the frustration (沮丧) in my voice. That certainly was another mistake added onto the first mistake. “Oh,” she said, “I might be able to get over there in about three hours.” I did hear her chuckling over the phone. I pretended I did not hear her chuckling, which was another mistake.
On my fourth deep sigh, I saw my wife driving her van slowly and park right next to my truck. I saw her through the window with the biggest smile I’ve ever seen her wear. She got a can of gas out of her van. Then I emptied it into my truck’s gas tank. When finishing, I took my time going to the gas station and filling up my truck. Because I knew I would experience the next stage of my wife’s laugh about my mistake as soon as I got home.
My biggest lessons have come from mistakes I’ve made. But the lessons only come when I deal with the error and make it right. It’s one thing to deal with the mistakes at hand, but it’s another thing to be wiser from secret faults.
49．Why didn’t the truck start again?
A．Because it was broken.
B．Because it ran out of gas.
C．Because it crashed against Publix.
D．Because it was out of control.
50．What was the second mistake the writer made in this passage?
A．Buying something in Publix.
B．Calling his wife for help.
C．Speaking to his wife sarcastically.
D．Pretending not to hear his wife’s chuckling.
51．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A．the fuel tank gauge
B．a can of gas
C．the truck’s gas tank
D．the gas station
52．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

（2022·江苏扬州·统考二模）Lee put the body of a 2-year-old cat on a small bed surrounded by flowers. Then he let the cat’s owner say a last goodbye. Lee, 26, is a pet undertaker.“We send off 400 to 500 pets each year, and there’s a great need of pet funerals (葬礼), ” he told China News.
Keeping pets has become a fashion for young people in China and people are more than willing to pay for whatever their pets need. A report says, from 2019 to 2021, China’s pet market grew by almost 18 percent and hit 348.8 billion yuan in value in 2021.
In addition to basic services, pet owners are increasingly paying for many new services, such as training, pet funerals, insurance, photography and entertainment. The growing pet market has also given birth to a large number of new pet-related jobs.
Liu Wei, 33, is a famous pet detective in Shanghai. He and his team work on finding families’ lost pets. “We have successfully helped find more than 1,000 pets. Besides cats and dogs, there are other pets like birds, lizards and hamsters.” Liu said.
According to Liu, being a pet detective requires a sense of responsibility (责任), kindness and love for animals. Pet detectives also need to be clear-eyed. They also make good use of high-tech products, such as infrared thermal imaging devices (红外热成像仪).
“Searching for pets needs lots of technical knowledge, for example, when we look for cats, knowing their habits is a must” said Liu. “In many big cities, cats and dogs have become an important part of many families and are taken good care of. What we look for are not just pets, but family members. ”
Apart from pet undertakers and detectives, some people work as pet food testers, pet sitters and pet trainers.A study says that the booming (繁荣的) pet market shows people’s improved living standards.

Now it’s clear that we all need to act on climate change, however, will people really be prepared to make changes in their lives? Can we really remake society to be much greener than it is now?
My answer is YES. I’m feeling optimistic, especially compared to if you’d asked me a few years ago. And that’s mostly because of one factor:Batteries. As we watched, over the past ten years, our computers get faster and screens get thinner; batteries have greatly improved too.
According to the European Patent (专利) Office, the number of battery patents grew by an average of 14 percent every year between 2005 and 2018. ▲ the amount of power that can be stored in the same sized battery has tripled (三倍增长) in the last ten years. For example, back in 2012 a new Nissan Leaf Battery could support only around 70-80 miles. Today, Leaf can support over 230 miles without needing to recharge. And the costs will continue to fall.
Because of better batteries, last September, 15 percent of all new vehicle registrations (登记) were pure electric vehicles. So the change is starting to happen.
Storing energy has always been a problem for the grid (电网). For a long period, only a bit of electricity is stored for later use, which leads to lots of power waste. But better batteries make it possible to store large amounts of energy from the grid.
Perhaps, in the near future, in our homes we might also have a big battery in the garage. This world take power from the grid (or maybe even solar panels on the roof), and power the appliances and lights in our homes.
57．What does the underlined word ‘‘optimistic’’ in Paragraph 2 mean? .
A．困惑的 B．失望的 C．乐观的 D．满足的
58．Which of the following is the most suitable for ▲ in Paragraph 3? .
A．Moreover B．Otherwise C．However D．While
59．The writer wants to show that ________ with the example of Nissan Leaf.
A．people need to pay more to own a better car
B．more power can be stored in bigger batteries
C．the new Nissan cars can run faster than before
D．the technology of batteries has greatly improved
60．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．Better batteries can well reduce the power waste.
B．The costs of the batteries will be higher and higher.
C．Fewer and fewer people will use pure electric vehicles.
D．More families need batteries to offer power to the grid.

（2022·江苏苏州·苏州市振华中学校校考二模）Fiona McIntyre is a taxi driver in London. She tells us about her work and some of her experiences.
Q: When did you start?
I’ve been a taxi driver for about five years. Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I enjoyed it, but I wanted more freedom so I changed and started driving my taxi.
Q: Have you ever had any famous passengers?
Oh yes. I’ve had film stars, politicians, you know, lots of famous people. About a year ago, a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. We were stuck on the way and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane and failed to meet his fans. It wasn’t my mistake but when he got out of the taxi, he shouted at me angrily! I said to him, ‘Next time, take a bus!”
Q: Have passengers ever left anything in your taxi?
Oh yes! People have left all kinds of things—a suitcase, a hat, mobile phones, of course, even a dog once! Years ago, a woman left a pair of shoes on the seat. And one time a passenger let his teeth here! Not real teeth, of course—false teeth.
And people have asked me to do some strange jobs. Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton to another hospital. Professors usually use skeletons to teach medical students, you know. And I did. But I asked him to pay first—the skeleton couldn’t pay after all!
Q: What do you think is the worst part of your job?
Good question. I’ve always enjoyed being a taxi driver and I don’t want to change. But of course, sometimes, it’s not great. I don’t like driving around without a passenger, but it’s better than just waiting at the airport or at a railway station. I think that’s the worst part—waiting.
63．The famous actor missed his plane because ________.
A．Fiona didn’t drive well B．Fiona wasn’t very polite
C．there were too many fans D．there was too much traffic
64．The underlined (划线的) word “him” in Fiona’s answer to the third question refers to ________.

（2022·江苏苏州·苏州市振华中学校校考二模）If you feel sad or upset, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie may be more suitable for you.
Some scientists at Ohio State University, the U.S., have found that sad movies can make people happier. They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.
Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, including sadness.
According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships. Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie, their lives were full of hope.
“I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot,” one student wrote.
Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the leader of the study, explained that bad moods would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about problems in your life,” she said. “But bad emotions, like sadness, make you feel terrible about your situation. Therefore, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more.”
66．The scientists asked the college students to watch Atonement________.
A．to help them make more friends
B．to make them feel better about themselves
C．to find out how they felt after watching it
D．to encourage them to share their feeling
67．How many times did the students answer questions from the scientists?
A．Six times. B．Five times. C．Four times. D．Three times.
68．What is the best title for this passage?
A．Feeling Sad? Watch a Sad Movie
B．Feeling Lonely? Find True Love
C．Feeling Bad? See a Happy Film
D．Feeling Down? Think about Others

（2022·江苏苏州·苏州市振华中学校校考二模）Since 2011, the Shanghai Peking Opera Company has held two seasons of “Youth Runway”, a long-term opera development project, hoping to find young opera talents. 118 young performers have successfully showed 200 plays and classical pieces. Most of them were born between 1995 and 2000, making them the company’s newest power. They will show both classical and new plays in many different styles.
① “The Butterfly Lovers”, one of the plays in this spring, is changed from a sad love story between a young poor man, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the daughter of a wealthy family. They return as butterflies after their death. Another one, “Twelve Roles”, which will be presented in the summer, largely gets its idea from an American film “12 Angry Men”. The 12 members, all from different backgrounds, must decide a child’s fate in a murder.
Yueju opera, which developed around 1906 in Shengzhou, Zhejiang Province, is one of China’s most famous operas. In the old days, people loved it because of its styles of singing and melodies（旋律）.

（2022·江苏镇江·统考二模）What is the Chinese people’s impression of Russia? The answer you are most likely going to get is the “warrior nation”, or zhandou minzu in Chinese. This general impression comes from how Russian people are usually presented on social media. They are tough and brave.
Most Russians seem resistant to cold weather. Russia has long cold winters. Even in extremely cold weather, Russians love eating ice cream during the season. They also like going to Russian banyas（俄罗斯蒸汽浴）. It is very hot with temperatures around 60 ℃to 90 ℃. After that, they roll in the snow to cool down. Even young children need to learn to harden themselves against the tough weather. In fact, in a village called Oymyakom, which is one of the coldest places on Earth, classes are only cancelled if the temperature drops below —52℃.
Russian pilots are often thought powerful. When in bad weather, many airlines choose to cancel their flights, but Russian airlines tend to continue their flights. A lot of Russian pilots used to be in the air force.
Russians are quite straight-forward. This may seem a bit unpleasant, but “making small talks” or “breaking the ice” isn’t part of their culture.
“Many Chinese people admire Russian character, power and will,” said Wang Zongnan from Tsinghua University, “maybe because we share the same memory of our countries as allies（盟友） in World War II.”

“Benny!” she cried. “What are you doing?” Then she began to laugh.
“Oh, Violet, come and see!” she called. “Watch looks so funny.”
Jessie laughed and laughed until she almost cried. Violet laughed until she did cry.
Then she could not stop crying. She cried and cried. At last Jessie made up her mind that Violet was really sick.
“You must go to bed, Violet,” she said. She helped her carefully into the boxcar and put pine needles (松叶) all around her and under her. Then she wet a handkerchief in the cold water of the brook and laid it on her little sister’s hot head.
“I wish Henry would come home!” said Jessie. “What shall we do?”
“When Henry came at last, he looked at Violet and said that maybe she had a cold. Maybe she sat too long by the brook,” he said.
“If Violet is very sick, she ought to go to the hospital,” said Jessie.
“Yes, I know that,” said Henry. “And we don’t want her to go to a hospital if we can help it.”
“We should have to tell her name.”
“Yes,” said Jessie. “Then Grandfather could find us.”
The two older children sat up with Violet. They put cold water on her head. But after dark Violet shook all over, and Jessie was frightened. She covered Violet all over with pine needles, but still she shook. They could not get her warm.
“I’m going to get Dr. Moore,” said Henry. “I’m afraid Violet is very sick.”
Then Henry started to run. He ran even faster than he had run in the race. Down the hill into the town he ran, until he came to Dr. Moore’s house.
“Please come!” he cried. “Violet is very sick!”
The doctor said, “Come and get into my car.”
He did not ask Henry which way to go, but the car went up the right road. When they came to the woods, he said to Henry, “Stay here in the car.”

（2022·江苏常州·校考二模）Fresh green grass, hundreds of colorful wild flowers, water running into little pools, birds making their homes in boxes, the 9,500-square-meter Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park, but there’s a difference. It lies on the roofs (屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.
Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that’s why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.
Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the “urban heat-island effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. Rooftops covered with plants help keep buildings cool. Green roofs take in rain water and protect the city drainage (排水) system. They can reduce water runoff into streets and storm water systems. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.
Also, _______. Small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it. Though they won’t directly replace ground environments, they’re perfect for attracting birds and other wildlife to create a eco-friendly habitat (栖息地).
A green roof helps to improve the overall air quality, too. According to a study, green roofs help reduce (减少) up to:
37% of sulfur dioxide
21% of nitrous acid
0.2kg of dust particles / square meter each year
While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city’s noise and traffic, whether you’re at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block?
86．With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ________.
A．how wildlife is protected B．what a green roof is like
C．how to organize a good park D．what to do with a spare roof
87．The word “moderate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A．raise B．check C．record D．control

（2022·江苏常州·校考二模）A new study by researchers at the University of Oxford has suggested catching COVID-19 may lead to changes to the brain.
It is as yet unclear if the changes are lasting, but Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans have shown that even in mild（轻症）cases of infection（感染）, patients’ brains have become a little smaller. The lost tissues（组织）have influenced areas of the brain connected to memory and the sense of smell.
“We were looking at small infection, so to see that we could really see some differences in their brain and how much their brain had changed,” Gwenaelle Douaud, a professor the University of Oxford,told the BBC．
The findings of the team’s study are published in the Journal Nature. It got help from the findings of an early long-term research project looking at the health of half a million people that the UK Biobank has been carrying out for more than ten years.
This allowed researchers to compare people’s health before and after infection. It looked at 401 participants（参与者）who had been infected, about four and a half months after their infection, which in 96 percent of cases were seen as mild, and compared their overall health with 384 people who had not been infected.
Among the differences noted were brain shrinkage（脑萎缩）of up to 2 percent. Another part of the study reported that people who had tested positive（阳性）needed more time to complete many different cognitive tests, with researchers explaining “an important, harmful influence connected to COVID-19” .
It may also shine some light on the topic of long COVID, which some patients have experienced long after early infection.
89．What’s NOT the possible change after catching COVID-19 in the passage?
A．Patients’ brains will become a little smaller.
B．Patients will lose their tissues gradually.
C．Patients will have a worse memory.
D．Patients will have a better sense of smell.

A．The present findings got help from the early one.
B．Most of the cases in the study were regarded as serious ones.
C．People tested positive needed less time to complete cognitive tests.
D．The lasting changes brought by COVID-19 were proved clearly.

（2022·江苏常州·校考二模）As we walked down the shore, Ben Gunn told his story.“I was alone here for years,” he said. “One day, I found the skeleton(骷髅). I saw it was pointing to a tree. I dug around that tree and found the treasure. I was living in a cave, so I took the treasure to the cave. This morning, when Long John Silver and his men came to look for the treasure, I showed myself to one of them. He thought I was a ghost.” Ben laughed. “He ran off, and this gave me time to get back to the squire(乡绅) and the doctor. They were waiting at the cave.”
“Now I know,” I said to the doctor, “why you gave the map to Silver.”
“It was useless by then,” the doctor said. “There was no buried treasure. Ben Gunn had it. My plan was to get Long John Silver and his men away from the stockade(木寨). We could then get some stores from it.”
When we got back to the cave, the squire was waiting for us.
“Three of the mutineers(反叛者) got away,” the doctor told him. “But if we hurry, we can get to the boat before them. They ran back to the stockade on the other side of the island. We are nearer to the boat than they are.”
I went into the cave. The captain was lying inside it next to the treasure—a pile of gold coins.
“Hello, Jim,” he said. “I am pleased to see you. But I don’t think you or I will be going to see again.”
That night, the captain died. We carried the treasure down to the boat. We lit a fire on the shore and had a fine meal together. We were not afraid of the three mutineers. We had pistols(手枪). They had none. There were more of us than of them.
The next morning, we went in the boat towards the Hispaniola. We didn’t care about the three men. We left them on the island.
I will not tell you about the journey home. Nothing important happened.But as soon as we got to Bristol, Long John Silver ran away. He took some of the gold with him. None of us cared. We were pleased to see the back of him. We each shared the treasure and used it in a different way.

（2022·江苏扬州·校考二模）When I was growing up, my mother had a ring she never took off. It was the only ring I ever saw her wear during my childhood. She didn’t really have any other jewelry, and, in fact, I remember my father saying that he didn’t even buy her a ring when they were married.
The years passed. My father, who had come from Mexico in the 1920s to try to earn a living, worked long, long hours at the service station he ran. And my mother worked at home, keeping house for her husband and eight children. With his hard work and her thriftiness (节俭), they sent their first son off to college, then another child and then another. The older children helped with the school fees of the younger ones.
Just as the last two children were graduating from college, my father died suddenly of a heart attack, but my mother lived on for another twenty-three years. Their children had become lawyers, businessmen and teachers. In the last years of her life my mother was finally able to buy some jewelry that she really loved.
A few years before she died, she told me that she wanted her jewelry to go to her granddaughters. And when she died, it was done. A diamond ring to this one, a pearl ring to that one, and so it went.
Then I discovered it: her first ring. It had been worn so long that it became so thin and would probably break at any minute. I took the ring, polished it with a cloth and carried it to the bank to place in a safety box. To me, it was a treasure that showed the devotion my mother had made for us and the values that she lived.
The rest of my family doesn’t quite understand this, but when I look at that ring, I see the priceless jewel of my mother’s strength and the deep love that she showed us every day of her life.
100．Why did the mother only have a ring in her early years?
A．She didn’t want anything else.
B．She saved money for her children.
C．Her husband refused to buy her other jewels.
D．Her husband was too poor to afford other jewels.
101．What do we know about the children?
A．They worked hard to earn their own school fees.
B．They lived a poor and hard life when they grew up.
C．The first son helped support his younger brothers and sisters.
D．The last two children failed to finish college because of the father’s death.
102．Why did the author place the ring in the bank?
A．The ring was worth large amounts of money.
B．The rest of her family didn’t want to see the ring.
C．She was afraid the ring might be broken by her kids.
D．She hoped to remember her mother’s selflessness forever.
103．According to the passage, what does the ring stand for?
A．he mother’s devotion to kids.     B．The mother’s difficulties in life.
C．The kids’ deep love for the mother. D．The kids’ memories of the hard life.

（2022·江苏扬州·校考二模）My father and I were both angry. “Never set foot in this house again!” shouted my father. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out to the street.
I walked aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I seemed to see my childhood from another space: happy.
But now... I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because my dad is getting old. We have different ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions on me. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I walked in the streets. My heart was cold on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people in the streets, until I had only the street lights with me. When I finally reached the building where I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: “Is my father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, my dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except my father’s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret. However, after an argument he has the habit of tucking me underneath the covers (掖被子) while I am sleeping.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe ... With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that there wasn’t the iron door that I had imagined between us at all. Love — it’s second to none.

A．The father didn’t like his son’s stamp collecting.

（2022·江苏扬州·校考二模）For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles(皱纹) and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.
According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain is the best between our 40s and 60s.
Besides, rather than losing many brain cells(细胞) as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been believed that brain, much like the body, declines(衰退) with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests different findings.
This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, people performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, and problem solving. They were weaker in number ability and perceptual speed — how fast you can push a button when you are ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers prove that we get wiser with age.
Scientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the unhappy things of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.
108．Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ______.
A．the young are better at dealing with important things
B．wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of aging
C．aging leads to the decline of the function of the brain
D．people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s
109．The continuing research has found older people perform better on ______.
A．vocabulary tests B．number ability
C．perceptual speed D．body balance
110．People are happier with aging because ______.
A．they know how to share feelings B．they learn to value the time left
C．they cannot focus on unhappy things D．they do not realize the possible dangers
111．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．People get weaker with age. B．People get more forgetful with age.
C．People get wiser with age. D．People get more confident with age.
