The traditional Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. In China, the 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production. But solar term culture is still useful today to guide people’s lives through cultural activities.
Great Heat, the 12th solar term of the year, begins this year on July 23 and ends on August 6. During Great Heat, most parts of China enter the hottest season of the year. Here is something you should know about Great Heat.
Great Heat is a season of harvesting. During this time, the sunshine, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall are good for the plants. But many natural disasters also happen. So, it’s important to harvest and plant in time.
Sending the Great Heat ship is a tradition in Taizhou. The ship is full of all kinds of meat. More than 50 fishermen take turns carrying the ship as they walk through the streets. The ship will finally be pulled out of the port and burned at sea. People believe that is a symbol of good harvests and health.
Great Heat is a season with most crickets (蟋蟀) in the countryside. Cricket fighting is a popular game for some people in China during this period. The custom dates back over 1,000 years ago.
People in different places enjoy different food. For example, in southern Shandong, people would like to drink mutton soup. Grass jelly is very popular in Guangdong because there is a saying “Eating grass jelly in Great Heat will make you stay young”.

（2022·江苏泰州·统考二模）Have you gotten vaccinated? This question has been a common way to greet others in China since the country produced a number of COVID-19 vaccines (疫苗) in December 2020.
China vaccinated 40 percent of its population by June, 2021. At the same time, China was also providing vaccines for other countries. It is exporting (出口) COVID-19 vaccines to 28 countries and giving help to 69 countries in need, Xinhua reported. Most of these countries were developing nations, such as Pakistan, Mongolia and Mexico. The leaders of these countries were taking the lead in receiving vaccine shots in January last year. They included Indonesian President Joko Widodo and Chilean President Sebastian Pinera.
According to the World Bank, to vaccinate (接种) their citizens, small and medium-sized developing nations could have ended up a year behind larger developing nations and developed countries. Some wealthier nations have already stored many vaccine doses (剂) for their own citizens. Some of them have ordered enough vaccines to vaccinate their people two or three times, The Washington Post reported.
For countries that have not yet developed or gotten a vaccine, China may be the only answer, AP noted China is one of the few nations that can produce vaccines on a large scale (大批量).
China joined COVAX in October 2020, a mechanism (机制) organized by the World Health Organization, to make sure that all members can get the vaccines in the future. China has decided to offer 10 million vaccines to COVAX, Xinhua reported.

Have you ever imagined going inside of a video game? That dream may soon become real. It’s called the “metaverse”.
The metaverse is a shared virtual (虚拟的) 3D world, or worlds. The word is a combination of “meta”, which means beyond, and “verse”, which refers to “universe”. The word first appeared in a 1992 science fiction book called Snow Crash. In this story, people wear virtual reality (VR) headsets to see and join the metaverse.
Now, what happens in the book is becoming a reality. Wearing a VR headset, you can meet other people wherever they are. You can work and play with them. It will feel real because the technology can simulate our senses: vision, hearing, touch, and even smell.
“We’re talking about creating another reality, another world, that’s as rich as the real world,” said Rev Lebaredian, vice president of simulation technology at NVIDIA, a US tech company.
So, what can you do inside of the metaverse? Your location will no longer matter, says VOA News. In the metaverse, “people ... would be connected at all times…” You can meet friends from other countries and go on a virtual beach vacation together. But forget Thailand—you can go to the beach on the moon, or anywhere else you can imagine. Can’t find a friend to play basketball with? Jump into the metaverse and find some friends to play with or go to a concert!
Cathy Hackl, an expert in metaverse technology, said her son’s first concert was inside of a video game. “Just because it happened in a video game, it didn’t make it less real for him,” she said.
Perhaps the metaverse will change our idea of what is real.
14．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A．How you can join the metaverse.
B．People’s imagination of the metaverse.
C．An introduction to the game company.
D．Where the word “metaverse” comes from.
15．Wearing a VR headset, you can ________.
A．feel what you can touch B．meet anyone you want to see
C．create your own virtual world D．design your own video games
16．The underlined word “simulate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A．change B．develop C．copy D．create
17．What do we know from VOA News?
A．
B．
C．The location is of great importance.
D．Scenes in the metaverse are all connected.
E．You can visit any place you like in the metaverse.
F．The metaverse will replace traditional video games.
G．

18．What is Cathy Hackl’s attitude toward the metaverse?

（2022·江苏淮安·统考二模）On that Saturday afternoon, the Harpers and Aunt Polly’s family went into mourning（哀悼）. The village was unusually quiet. The villagers talked little but sighed（叹息）often. Children had no heart in sports and gave them up. People were sad to know that Tom, Joe and Huck were drowned（淹死）.
In the afternoon, Becky found herself walking around the yard and feeling very sad. She said to herself, “I haven’t got anything to remember Tom by. He’s gone now. I’ll never, never see him any more.”
Then there was an argument about who saw the dead boys last in life. Many said they did and offered evidence. When it was finally decided who saw the dead boys last, the lucky ones took upon themselves some self-importance.
The next morning, when the bell began to toll（鸣钟）, the villagers got together in the church. No one could remember when the little church had been so full before. Aunt Polly entered. She was followed by Sid and Mary and by the Harper family. They were all in deep black. As the funeral（葬礼）continued, people felt sorry that they didn’t treat the boys well before. They only saw faults（缺点）in them. People gave way to their feelings and cried.
A moment later, the church door opened slowly. People raised their eyes above handkerchiefs（手帕）and they were surprised. They saw Tom, Joe and Huck——the three dead boys—walk into the church! They had been hiding and listening to their own funeral.
Aunt Polly, Mary and the Harpers threw themselves upon their children and kissed them again and again. Tom got hundreds of kisses that day. Before this, he didn’t know he was loved by so many people.

（2022·江苏淮安·统考二模）The average worldwide commute（通勤）is around 40 minutes. But UK workers are travelling 54 minutes and Londoners commute about 80 minutes by car and over two hours by train every day. What can these commuters in the UK teach us about how best to behave during all that time spent in cars, trains and buses?
First of all, travel manners are important. A recent article asked its readers to describe which of the commuters’ actions are bad manners. Top answers included making too much noise, eating badly-smelt food and putting feet up on the seats. Several readers even mentioned a passenger who clipped their toenails（修指甲）on the train.
But a long commute isn’t just about unhappy experiences. Many UK commuters can make use of their time on transport creatively. 37-year-old Ben Yallop used his daily three-hour trip to write and publish two novels. 24-year-old Amy Dickett uses her 90-minute trip to take pictures of other commuters for her Commute Blog. She takes a picture and asks them to tell her something surprising about themselves. “Usually they are surprised but glad to have some fun on an otherwise boring journey. Often the people around us join in and will ask their own questions,” she said.
So, no matter where or how your journey is, learn from the UK commuters. _________.
27．Which of the following is NOT included in the top answers about commuters’ bad manners?
A．Making too much noise. B．Eating badly-smelt food.
C．Putting feet up on the seats. D．Clipping their toenails

30．Which of the following sentences is the most suitable for the part “________”?
A．Then you will find time spent on the train passes quickly

D．Commuters of other countries may not agree with British people

（2022·江苏淮安·统考二模）Seeing blood in a horror movie might make you scream or cover your eyes, but real blood isn’t scary at all. Blood keeps us alive. That’s why blood donors are considered lifesavers.
Blood donors are people who give blood—usually about 200 ml at a time—to blood banks or blood donation centres. The blood is then available for people who have lost blood in accidents, need operations, or have a serious illness that requires their blood to be replaced.
Hospitals and blood banks store the blood and try to keep enough on hand for major emergencies (紧急情况), such as typhoons and earthquakes, in which many people are injured.
Donating blood is easy. Medical workers ask donors several questions about their health, as well as test their blood, to make sure the blood is safe to use. Then the donors relax, often reading a magazine or talking as their blood is drawn. Afterward, the donors may receive some juice or water and maybe fruit or cookies to give them energy before leaving the donation centre. The whole process is simple and quick, not scary. After blood donation, the donors had better rest and not overwork. Most people are able to donate blood again in about two months if they wish.
To give blood, a person must be at least 18 years old and must meet certain other requirements. Students of all ages, though, can learn more about the donation process by visiting a local blood donation centre. Donating blood is one of the easiest ways to save lives and help a community.
31．What does the underlined phrase mean in Chinese?
A．献血者 B．献血证 C．采血员 D．血液检测
32．What question does the second paragraph answer?
A．Where does the blood go?
B．Who needs the blood most?
C．Is all donors’ blood safe to use?
D．Why would medical workers ask questions?
33．What would happen to a ninth grader who wants to donate blood?
A．He would have to rest at first. B．He would receive extra cookies.
C．He would not be allowed to donate. D．He would be allowed to donate only 200 ml.

（2022·江苏连云港·统考二模）Do you like to eat out and treat yourself to delicious food? Many people are used to choosing hearty (丰盛的), fat-filled dishes and high-sugar desserts, which are not easily cooked at home, though they may be unhealthy.
According to Economic Daily, low-fat and high-fiber meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms. The recent rise of light meals gives diners a smarter choice. Restaurants serving light meals have increased from just 600 in 2017 to more than 3, 500 in 2018. According to a report by Meituan, a major online food platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 percent from last year.
Having a light meal, however, doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a light meal avoids oily, salty and spicy food. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients (营养成分) are the theme of the light meal. These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That’s probably why so many people, especially millennials (千禧一代), are into them. Diners see it as “a great way to avoid getting fat”.
Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan, shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef, eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. She told China Daily, “After eating several light meals, I felt my appetite (胃口) has shrunk. I now prefer light meals.”
These changes in eating behavior are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food. People are more interested in diet quality, not numbers, which is important for both weight control and health. So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs, but maybe your hearts.
37．From Paragraph 2, we can know that ________.
A．all the restaurants are serving light meals because they are popular
B．few people eat out at restaurants because of the unhealthy food
C．the number of restaurants serving light meals is getting larger
D．according to Meituan, fewer people prefer ordering light meals
38．What is the meaning of the underlined word “shrunk” in Paragraph 4?
A．Got bigger. B．Got better. C．Got worse. D．Got smaller.
39．The writer used the example of Zou Jing just to tell us that ________.
A．light meals can help us avoid getting fat
B．light meals are almost similar to non-meat food
C．she prefers only vegetables instead of oily, salty and spicy food
D．millennials hate light meals because they enjoying eating meat
40．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Avoiding meat is a healthy lifestyle.
B．Light meals are becoming more and more popular.
C．People like going into restaurants for dinners.
D．Eating out is unhealthy.

There’s an unwritten rule among documentary film-makers—to watch, but not intervene（干涉）. But a BBC documentary worker in Antarctica made a hard decision to intervene when several emperor penguin mothers and their babies became trapped in a ravine（深沟）.
In one of the Dynasties series, mother penguins can be seen leaving babies behind when they can’t get out from the ravine. Some babies died from the freezing low temperatures.
After a storm, the workers returned to the area and decided to do something. In the beginning, they are not sure about the proper way to help with the least intervene. Finally, they built a ramp to help the remaining penguins climb to safety.
“We chose to intervene with the least influence,” said the shows director, Will Lawson. “Once we’d dug that little ramp, which took very little time, we left it to the birds. We were excited when they decided to use it.”
The show’s creator, Sir David Attenborough, is known for his strong support to let nature take its course. But in this case.he said he would have intervened.
“It’s very rare for the film workers to intervene,” he said. “But they realize that they might be able to save some of these birds simply by digging a few steps in the ice.”
“It’s such an unusual condition to do this,” he added. “It wasn’t dangerous. You weren’t touching the animals and by doing this, they had the chance to get out of the trouble.”
Although different people hold different views, the workers have received more praise from the public for what they did.

Based on this observation, they believed that the sun travels around the earth. Going directly from observation to conclusion is called non-scientific thinking.
Here is an example of non-scientific thinking. Maybe you had a sick stomach, and ate a candy bar. An hour later, you found that you felt much better. You might conclude that it was the candy bar that made you feel better. But there are other possible reasons for the observation. Maybe you had taken some medicine an hour earlier, and it took a while to work. Maybe enough time had passed, and you would have felt better without eating the candy bar. Non-scientific thinking happens all the time.
The scientific method is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid making incorrect conclusions. It helps you to avoid non-scientific thinking. It reminds you to treat your first conclusion as one of several possible conclusions. It reminds you to gather evidence（证据）to support your conclusion. The four steps in the scientific method begin by questioning an observation, and end with a conclusion that is based on evidence. First, you can ask a question about your observation, such as, “What makes a sick stomach feel better?” Second, state a possible answer to the question, such as, “A candy bar makes a sick stomach feel better.” Third, test your guess, this can be done in many different ways. You could wait until you have a sick stomach again, eat a candy bar, and see what happens. Finally, think and conclude—think about what happened when you tested and you can make a conclusion.

（2022·江苏南京·校联考二模）Dennis didn’t feel like sleeping. He had gone to bed at the same time every night for as long as he could remember. He was tired of going to bed when his parents told him to. So one night, when fall seemed over, but it wasn’t yet winter, he decided he would stay up!
What Dennis didn’t realize is that staying awake at night is hard when your body needs to sleep. He tried everything he could think of to stop himself from falling asleep. He tried counting wolves（if counting sheep makes you sleepy, then counting wolves must surely do the opposite）, but unfortunately it made him even more tired. He started to suspect that it was the counting, and not the choice of animal, that made people sleepy.
Dennis was just about ready to give up when he heard a squeak（吱吱叫）from his hamster（仓鼠）Charlie. He went over to Charlie’s cage, but it was empty. Dennis followed the sounds of squeaking until he found Charlie on the floor, looking behind the door. Dennis noticed that something back there was throwing things at Charlie! Coins, balls of paper, and even some stones were flying in Charlie’s direction, as he squeaked.
“What’s there, Charlie?” Dennis asked as he picked up the hamster and walked towards the door.
What he saw made him wonder if he had actually fallen asleep and not realized it.
“It’s a…it’s a rabbit!” he said. No bigger than Charlie（and no smaller）, the rabbit wore a yellow shirt, a tiny pair of green pants, and a hat.
“Why are you throwing things at my hamster, rabbit?” asked Dennis.
“Why do you keep a vicious（凶猛的）hamster as a pet, human?” asked the rabbit. “Charlie is not vicious! More importantly, why are you in my room, rabbit?” asked Dennis. “That is an interesting question, human.”
“My name is not ‘human’, it’s Dennis.” Dennis said angrily. “I already know your name. And rabbits have names too!”
Dennis didn’t say anything for a moment, and neither did the rabbit. It was an awkward（尴尬的）silence for everyone except Charlie who, as usual, had fallen asleep shortly after Dennis picked him up.
“Well, what is your name then?” asked Dennis.
59．When did the story take place?
A．One night in late auturnn. B．One late afternoon in summer.

“Who is it?” she asked. “Your brother Ben,” he replied.

（2022·江苏宿迁·统考二模）    Kudzu is a fast-growing vine (蔓生植物) that covers a large area in the southern United States. It is so common that one might think it is a native plant, but it is not. Kudzu was brought to the United States from Japan in 1876. Many Americans thought it was beautiful, and they began to plant it. They didn’t know it could grow up to a foot a day during the summer months. Nor did they know it would grow up and over anything in its path (路径).
    In Japan, kudzu experienced cold winters and a short growing season. But in the United States, it has a very long growing season with warm and wet southern weather. It is fine weather for the vine to grow fast.
    In the 1920s, people used the vine to feed farm animals. Ten years later, the government supported to plant kudzu because it kept soil (土壤) from washing away. However, by the 1950s, the government no longer wanted people to plant the vine. Twenty years after that, the government said it was a harmful plant.
    The vine grows up trees and buildings, making some beautiful shapes. However, trees die after kudzu covers them because they can not get enough light. Scientists are looking for ways to kill the vine. They used poisons (毒药) to kill the vine. However, some of the poisons made it grow even better. Scientists also find it difficult to dig up Kudzu. The plant is really tough.
    Because kudzu is so hard to kill, some people are making the best of it. So they try to find different uses for the vine. They find the vine can be used to make paper and baskets, it can be used to feed the goats, and it can even be eaten by people. Scientists are studying it in the hope that the vine can be used as a medicine. At the very least, kudzu serves as an example of the unexpected results that can come from non-native plants.
71．We can learn from the passage that ______.
A．kudzu mostly grows in the northern America
B．kudzu was brought to Japan from America
C．kudzu grows very fast in warm and wet weather
D．American government has never supported to plant kudzu
72．The underlined word “tough” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.
A．not easily broken
B．widely used
C．hard to grow
D．important to one’s health
73．The last paragraph is mostly about ______.
A．how quickly the vine grows
B．how people use the vine
C．why people want to kill the vine
D．why people eat the vine
74．The writer uses the title “The Vine That Ate the South” most probably to ______.
A．let readers know kudzu is a vine
B．interest readers in a way
C．tell readers the vine is a kind of food
D．get readers to realize the passage is serious

Megan
He couldn't believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read:
…after all these years, but I've just found your letters to me from Canada. Believe me, this was the first time I'd read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years I found them in a box of my father's papers. They were never opened.
Huw, I never knew that you'd written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me.
Now I realize（明白）that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said “_____________, my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.
But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyway, he's dead now, so I can't ask him. All I can say is I'm sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for…everything.
I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I'll understand if you don't want to write back to me, but if you do. I am still Megan Jenkins, and I still live at the same address.
Best wishes,
Megan

（2022·江苏盐城·统考二模）According to a report, over 750 million people around the world have no clean water to drink. According to experts, women and girls in poor areas have to walk as much as 3.7 miles every day, to get water from the communal taps (公共水龙头) set up by government. What’s even worse is that those who usually go to get water are girls. They have to miss 240 school days a year on this boring and hard activity.
The pipes that carry the water to the communal water taps often lie right under the village grounds. The sadness of the whole situation is that if they could pay for the pipes, the villagers could have the water run directly to their houses.
To help the villagers, Damon and White came up with a good idea. Why not provide the poor people with a “Water Credit” — the lending of money that can be paid over two years? Since the program began three years ago, over 1.5 million people have asked for the $180-$200 to bring pipes to their houses.
What’s even more exciting about the program is that it has freed up not only the women to spend more time on real jobs and make money, but also the children to do what they have been looking forward to for years — go to school regularly!

（2022·江苏盐城·统考二模）Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly (蝴蝶) trying to get out of its chrysalis (蛹) difficultly. Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle (挣扎) to leave the chrysalis, it can’t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

（2022·江苏南通·统考二模）①A sister and a brother are walking in the woods. She hears a bird singing and sees raspberries(山莓) on long thorny stems. She avoids the thorns while picking one. It feels hard. She throws it into her mouth and says it tastes sweet. Her brother hears a whisper in the bushes and sees a snake slither out, so he moves away.
②Our bodies have sense organs (器官) that collect outside information. Our brains use this information to decide how we should react (反应). The five basic senses are sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch.
③Our eyes are sight organs. The dark center of the eye is the pupil (瞳孔). In bright light, the pupil grows smaller so that less light can get in. In the dark, the pupil grows bigger to let in more light. Behind the pupil is the lens (透镜), which bends the light and focuses it on the retina (视网膜). There, special cells (细胞) send the image to the brain.
④Odors (气味) come from tiny particles (颗粒) that travel through the air, Nerve (神经) endings in our noses sense these particles, and the olfactory (嗅觉的) nerves send the information to the brain. This is how we smell a plate of freshly baked cookies.
⑤We taste things with our tongues (舌头). Our tongues have special groups of cells called taste buds (味酱). The front of the tongue tastes sweet things, and the sides taste salty and sour things. The back of the tongue tastes bitter things. Our taste buds need saliva (唾液) to work. The more we chew and mix saliva with the food, the better we taste it.
⑥Our ears are shaped like cups to pick up sound waves (波). Inside the ear, a canal (管、道) directs the sound to the eardrum (耳膜). The sound waves vibrate the eardrum. Three small bones behind the eardrum pass the vibrations on to the inner ear. There, they are picked by the auditory, or hearing nerve and carried to the brain.
⑦We use our sense of touch to feel our surroundings. Nerve endings in the skin send signals to the brain. We can feel temperature, roughness and wetness. We can feel different shapes and we can feel pain.
⑧Besides the five basic senses, there are as many as fifteen other senses. We have sense organs deep inside our bodies that sense things such as our weight and body position. We have a sense of balance. We sense when we are hungry, thirsty or tired.
97．Why does the first paragraph introduce the two children?
A．To lead to the topic. B．To share a story. C．To provide life skills. D．To tell an experience.

（2022·江苏南通·统考二模）Can you cook? If so, what are your specialty dishes?
For middle and primary school students, being able to cook will become a must in the near future.They will also need to learn how to plant vegetables, raise poultry（家禽）and repair home appliances（家电）under new requirements for labor（劳动）education.
The Ministry of Education（MOE）recently published a new curriculum standard（课程标准）for labor education. Starting from the 2022 fall semester（学期） , students in primary and middle schools will take courses on labor skills at least once a week.

Liu Fang, a mother of 6-year-old twins in Beijing, is a strong supporter of labor education. For the past year, she has trained her daughters to do household chores and make simple dishes for the family.
“The main idea is to let them share responsibility（责任） as family members and become independent as early as they can,” said Liu. “Through doing housework, their hand-eye coordination（协调）, time management and organization skills can be trained and it’s also good to help them relax.” Through such education, Liu said her twins have found fun in doing chores and are more independent.

（2022·江苏南通·统考二模）I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010.We were in the economic crisis（经济危机）. She said a polite “no”.
That didn’t stop me. I googled the measurements（量度） for a keyboard, drew the keys on piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and play them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn’t afford lessons again. He passed grade three, and then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper.
One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in shock.
My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. But I had to pass a difficult test. Some of the questions involved an evaluation of the composer or when some piece was written. I felt stressed. To my amazement I was offered a place.
At Purcell, I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano. When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. I feel proud: it’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools.
Surprisingly I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano—what we mental practice. The paper piano helped arouse my curiosity about how music works.

（2022·江苏泰州·统考二模）During the COVID-19, many people under lockdown feel lonely and bored. “There is a loneliness epidemic,” said John Dattilo from PennsyIvania State University, US.
So he, together with an international team of researchers, studied how to reduce loneliness and increase positive feelings during the COVID-19.
According to their new study, reducing loneliness has something to do with doing enjoyable activities that require both concentration（注意力）and skill.
“When people pay attention to what they are doing, they enter a state called ‘flow’,” Dattilo explained. To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the challenge of the task and your skill level. For example, if you’re trying to create a complex computer program but your skill level is low, then you’re likely to feel stressed instead of achieving “flow”. Instead, if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and “flow” will not appear, either.
If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you are.
“When we enter a state of flow, we become concentrated, and we experience momentary enjoyment,” Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often surprised by how much time has passed.”
However, watching television usually doesn’t help people enter flow, according to Dattilo, because there aren’t any challenges.
“People are going to thrive（茁壮成长）on healthy activities and challenge,” said Dattilo. “We hope this research will help people live fuller, happier, healthier lives.”
117．What can we do to reduce loneliness during lockdown according to the study?
A．Follow a healthy lifestyle. B．Learn as many skill as possible.
C．Do some enjoyable and challenging tasks. D．Complete impossible challenges.
118．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “complex”?
A．Simple. B．Latest. C．Difficult. D．Personal.
119．What activity is possible to help people achieve flow?
A．Watching TV. B．Writing. C．Eating nuts. D．Chatting.
120．How do people feel when they enter the “flow” state?
A．They are concentrated and happy. B．They feel time passes too quickly.
C．They feel stressed and tired. D．They are lonely and bored.
121．In which part of a newspaper may this passage appear?

（2022·江苏泰州·统考二模）
Mastering a foreign language is probably a skill that’s in high need. Whether you’re doing international business, social work, or just on holiday abroad, the ability to communicate with anyone in their own language is of great help and importance.
Using AI technology, two famous Japanese inventors have developed a more high-tech language translation device (设备) a timely translator called MUAMA．The translator makes it easier for people to communicate with each other and is widely used in different areas.
Learning a new language takes months, or even years of hard work and practice, while MUAMA can easily translate what you are saying into over 40 languages in quite a short time, using only a few touches of fingers. An experienced human translator is more expensive and must be paid for more than once. But MUAMA requires only a single payment for widely chosen languages, which cost you much less to use. MUAMA is more convenient and simpler because of its lightweight design and small size, and it is also easy to carry around in a pocket or a bag, as well as being there when one needs it. It works well even in noisy and crowded places since it has a perfect sound quality, which is powerful enough to be heard clearly. And text translation service can be used as well.
MUAMA was first created for travelers. With a MUAMA translator abroad you can ask for directions, order a meal, or just have a friendly conversation in 40 different languages! Take your next foreign trip to a whole new level you’ve never experienced before. Language problems should no longer trouble you.
Moreover, it has become popular even among people in other areas. What has amazed us is that more and more international social workers and aid workers, as well as volunteers, choose MUAMA to make their work easier. After using the translator, people greatly raised the quality of work.
122．What ability does the writer think is important in the beginning?
A．Making a plan for a holiday.
B．Starting international business.
C．Doing important social work.
D．Communicating with foreigners.
123．What do we know about MUAMA according to paragraph 3?
