【点睛】本题考查学生对主语从句的掌握情况。主语从句是在句子中担当主语的是一个从句,这个从句就叫做主语从句。主语从句是在复合句中充当主语的从句，通常放在主句谓语动词之前或由形式主语it代替，而本身放在句子末尾。what 引导主语从句时在句时在从句中充当句子成分，如主语．宾语．表语。所以做此类题时看题中是否缺少成分，在选择连接词。

A. that B. who C. when D. which
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句的连接词。句意：几年后但我回到家乡，我看到了一个美丽的公园，公园已经是一个湿地了。根据句子分析可知，此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为a beautiful park，指物，从句中缺少主语，故应用which引导，故选D。

第二部分：阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分，满分50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。
A
Choosing a major is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make while you’re in college. It’s important that you make your choice confidently and after some consideration.
There’s Nothing Wrong With Being “Undecided”.
Between 20% and 50% of college freshmen enter school without a declared major. Keep in mind that there’s nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few years of your college career. You can use this time to decide what you’re interested in. Also, keep in mind that even if you do declare a major your freshman year, you can always change your mind. About one-third of first-time college students change their major within three years. Even more, over 60% of college graduates say they would go back and change their major if they could, primarily to pursue their passion areas and expand their job opportunities.
Explore Your Passions and Abilities.
Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities. With an undeclared major to start, you can take time to really develop into what interests you. Join clubs around campus to connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience. For example, when else might you be able to take a poetry course or an art history seminar? College is the perfect time to step out of your box and expand your horizons. As a student with an undeclared major, you’re uniquely positioned to do just that.
Consider Employment Opportunities.
While it’s important to choose a major that interests you, it’s also critical to choose a college major that will provide you with future employment opportunities. Statistically, the college majors that tend to have the most earning power are in STEM. These majors might include health sciences or computer engineering. Business majors can also expect a higher than average earning potential. That being said, employers frequently recognize that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills, too, including strong communication, written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities. The key is to pick a major that will be marketable for the career you’re interested in pursuing.
Talk to an Academic Advisor.
If you need a little guidance, set up an appointment with an academic advisor or career counselors. Career development counselors and academic advisors can help you narrow down your options. If you have an idea of what classes you’ve most enjoyed and what career paths are most appealing to you, working with one of these professionals might be the final push you need to pick a major.
Still have some doubts now? You can submit your questions Here.
36. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Most graduates went back to college and changed their majors for a brighter future.
B. Most students frequently change their majors throughout their college years.
C. It is all right to remain undecided on majors for only the freshman year.
D. You don’t necessarily need to declare your majors upon entering college.
37. You are advised to take electives as described in the third paragraph because ______.
A. the courses and seminars are popular with college students
B. it helps you fully explore where your interest lies
C. you can share your common interest with your fellow students
D. your major lies in the areas, you can’t miss them

A. you express yourself well in a controversial business discussion
B. you fix the technical problems of computers in your office easily
C. you quickly figure out why the communication equipment doesn’t work
D. you never delegate but shoulder more of the workload at work

C. An academic advisor or career counselors will decide the major for you.

【36题详解】

Keep in mind that there’s nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few years of your college career. You can use this time to decide what you’re interested in.( 20%到50%的大学新生入学时没有指定专业。请记住，在大学生涯的前几年保持“犹豫不决”或“未定”并没有什么错。你可以利用这段时间来决定你感兴趣的专业)”可知，你不必在进入大学时就决定你的专业。故选D项。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities. With an undeclared major to start, you can take time to really develop into what interests you. Join clubs around campus to connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience.( 留出一些时间来真正探索你的激情，评估你的独特能力。有了一个未公开的专业开始，你可以花时间去真正深入研究你感兴趣的东西。加入校园俱乐部，与志同道合的同学建立联系。参加一些你可能没有机会体验的选修课.)”可知，建议你参加选修课，因为它能帮助你充分探索自己的兴趣所在。故选B项。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“That being said, employers frequently recognize that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills, too, including strong communication, written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities.(话虽如此，雇主们通常都认为文科专业的毕业生也有宝贵的软技能，包括良好的沟通能力、书面和口头表达能力以及领导能力.) ”可知，软技能是指良好的沟通能力、书面和口头表达以及领导能力。因此推知，你在有争议的商业讨论中很好地表达自己是一种良好的软技能。故选A项。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If you need a little guidance, set up an appointment with an academic advisor or career counselors. Career development counselors and academic advisors can help you narrow down your options. (如果你需要一些指导，和学术顾问或职业顾问约个时间。职业发展顾问和学术顾问可以帮助你缩小选择范围.)”可知，学术顾问或职业顾问会会帮助我们缩小选择范围。故C选项“学术顾问或职业顾问会为你决定专业”错误。故选C项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still have some doubts now? You can submit your questions Here.( 现在还有些疑惑吗?你可以在这里提交问题.)”可推知，本文来自网页。故选B项。
B
Pandas are not only a national treasure, but are loved around the world.
Recently, a giant panda cub born in April at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, US, was given the name Xiao Qi Ji, which is translated into English as “little miracle”. The choice was the result of a five-day online vote that drew nearly 135,000 voters in the US. Interestingly, National Public Radio said that in a nod to Chinese tradition, the name was not chosen until 100 days after the birth.
This cub’s birth proved to be quite inspiring, and at a time when inspiration was truly needed. “Xiao Qi Ji’s birth is a true miracle that has been so uplifting to all of us during the pandemic,” Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said in a video congratulatory message. “We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador, and in our shared joy and friendship.”
The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy, known as “panda diplomacy”.
According to the Japanese Royal Annual, the practice dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor.
China revived panda diplomacy in the 1950s when China sent two pandas to the Moscow Zoo. By 1982, China had given 23 pandas to nine different countries. However, most of them have died. China stopped giving away pandas in the early 1980s. Instead, the animals are loaned to other countries. In general, they are to be returned to China after 10 years.
But why do these cute “diplomats” find it hard to survive in other countries? According to Xinhua, their dietary habit is one significant reason. Their nutrition mostly comes from bamboo shoots. Adult giant pandas consume about 40 kilograms of bamboo daily. Pandas can also be quite picky. They refuse to eat bamboo shoots after they have blossomed.
It takes ten years for a new crop of bamboo to mature, and many countries do not have an environment suitable for bamboo growth. This means that food has to be imported. In March, Calgary Zoo in Canada announced that due to pandemic-related changes in its import laws and quarantine methods, they couldn’t provide enough fresh bamboo for pandas. This meant that they had to send two giant pandas back to China. But countries are still trying their best to facilitate this special type of diplomacy, “We don’t own the pandas, but the whole world wants to help save the panda, and we do that through our knowledge exchange.” Steven Monfort, director of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, told China Daily.
41. The expression “in a nod to” in Para.2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. in praise for B. in response to
C. in favor of D. in order to observe
42. Why did China decide that pandas are only loaned to other countries?
A. Because the pandas’ dietary habit was significantly changed abroad.
B. Because the pandas couldn’t have bamboo to cat in other countries.
C. Because most of the pandas could not be adapted to the climate abroad.
D. Because most of the pandas sent to other countries couldn’t survive.

【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段和第五段“The furry black-and-white animals have played an important role in the country’s diplomacy, known as “panda diplomacy”. According to the Japanese Royal Annual, the practice dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Empress Wu Zetian sent a pair of pandas to the Japanese emperor. (这种毛茸茸的黑白相间的动物在国家外交中发挥了重要作用，被称为“熊猫外交”。根据日本皇家年历，这一做法可以追溯到唐朝，当时武则天给日本天皇送了一对大熊猫。)”可知，“熊猫外交”的做法可以追溯到唐朝。故选B。

One person’s happiness causes a chain reaction that benefits not only their friends, but their friends’ friends, and their friends’ friends’ friends. The effect lasts for up to one year. The opposite, interestingly, is not the case: Sadness does not spread through social networks as strongly as happiness. Happiness appears to love company more so than misery.
Focusing on 4,739 individuals, Christakis and Fowler, who co-authored this study, observed more than 50,000 social and family ties and analyzed the spread of happiness throughout this group. The researchers found that when an individual becomes happy, a friend living within a mile experiences a 25 percent increased chance of becoming happy. A co-resident spouse (配偶) experiences an 8 percent increased chance, siblings (兄弟姐妹) living within one mile have a 14 percent increased chance, and for next-door neighbors, 34 percent. But the real surprise came with indirect relationships. Again, while an individual becoming happy increases his friend’s chances, a friend of that friend experiences a nearly 10 percent chance of increased happiness, and a friend of that friend has a 5.6 percent increased chance.
The researchers also found that, contrary to what your parents taught you, popularity does lead to happiness. People in the center of their network groups are the most likely people to become happy, and then there are chances that increase to the extent that the people surrounding them also have lots of friends. However, becoming happy does not help migrate a person from the network fringe (外围) to the center. Happiness spreads through the network without changing its structure.
“Imagine a bird’s eye view of a backyard party,” Fowler explains. “You’ll see people in groups at the center, and others on the fringe. The happiest people tend to be the ones in the center. But someone on the fringe who suddenly becomes happy, say through a particular exchange, doesn’t suddenly move into the center of the group. He simply stays where he is—only now he has a far more satisfying sense of well-being.”
Next time, if you’re happy and you know it, thank your friends—and their friends. And while you’re at it, their friends’ friends. But if you’re sad, hold the blame.
47. Who will be more likely to become happy as a man is happy according to the research?
A. His wife. B. His next-door neighbors.
C. His brothers and sisters. D. A friend of his friend.
48. Why does Fowler mention a backyard party in Paragraph 4?
A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To describe a fact. D. To make a prediction.
49. What does the research aim to tell us?
A. Happiness changes social structures.
B. A social network is a double-edged sword.
C. Happiness goes hand in hand with sadness.
D. Happiness spreads through social networks.
50. What do we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. Friends’ friends may bring you happiness.
B. Your friends are to blame for your sadness.
C. Your friends decide whether you are happy.
D. The happiest friends at party are on the fringe.
【答案】47. B 48. B 49. D 50. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了一个观点：一个人的幸福通过社交网络传播，因此一个人的幸福和朋友，以及朋友的朋友有关。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段二三句“The researchers found that when an individual becomes happy, a friend living within a mile experiences a 25 percent increased chance of becoming happy. A co-resident spouse (配偶) experiences an 8 percent increased chance, siblings (兄弟姐妹) living within one mile have a 14 percent increased chance, and for next-door neighbors, 34 percent. (研究人员发现，当一个人变得快乐时，住在一英里以内的朋友变得快乐的几率会增加25%。同居配偶的几率增加了8%，住在一英里以内的兄弟姐妹的几率增加14%，而隔壁邻居的几率增加34%。)”可知，一个人开心的时候，最有可能因此变得开心的是他的邻居。故选B项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句““Imagine a bird’s eye view of a backyard party,” Fowler explains. “You’ll see people in groups at the center, and others on the fringe. The happiest people tend to be the ones in the center…” (福勒解释道：“想象一下后院聚会的鸟瞰图，你会看到一群人在中心，其他人在边缘。最快乐的人往往是中心的人…”)”可知，福勒提出这个聚会的目的是为了解释某个和一个网络中最开心的人的位置相关的概念，上文第三段最后两句“However, becoming happy does not help migrate a person from the network fringe (外围) to the center. Happiness spreads through the network without changing its structure. (然而，变得快乐并不能帮助一个人从网络边缘迁移到中心。幸福通过网络传播而不改变其结构。)”提出了需要解释的观点：因为幸福通过网络传播，不改变网络的结构，因此一个人变得快乐并不会使他从网络的边缘迁移到中心。故选B项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段后两句“However, becoming happy does not help migrate a person from the network fringe (外围) to the center. Happiness spreads through the network without changing its structure. (然而，变得快乐并不能帮助一个人从网络边缘迁移到中心。幸福通过网络传播而不改变其结构。)”可知，本研究旨在告诉读者幸福通过网络传播，即社交网络。故选D项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Next time, if you’re happy and you know it, thank your friends—and their friends. (下一次，如果你很开心，并且你知道这一点，那就感谢你的朋友和他们的朋友。)”可知，作者建议读者如果开心，那就得感谢朋友和朋友的朋友，可推测这是因为一个人的快乐可能是朋友或者朋友的朋友带来的。故选A项。
D
Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once. Nor is electronic multitasking entirely new! We’ve been driving while listening to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s. But there is no doubt that multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers, when it has become routine to conduct several IM (即时通讯) conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once.
But what’s the impact of this media consumption? And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another? Social scientists and educators are just beginning to deal with these questions, but the researchers already have some strong opinions.
Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’s fast-paced work placed, many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend. Kids that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching TV, aren’t going to do well in the long run. On the positive side, multitasking students tend to be extraordinarily good at finding and using information. And probably because modern childhood centers around visual (视觉的) rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing visual data and images.
Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively insure that their teenagers break free of uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings — a growing challenge not just because technology offers such a handy option but because many teenagers and college students say over-committed (任务过量的) schedules drives much of their multitasking.
Just as important is for parents and educator to teach kids that it’s valuable, even essential, to occasionally slow down, unplugs and take time to enjoy life beyond the screen.
51. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How is multitasking defined in the information age?
B. How do people see new technology and the social change it brings about?
C. How does technology change modern family life?
D. What’s the impact of multitasking on young people?
52. The expression “warp speed” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. low speed B. high speed
C. steady speed D. too much time alone
53. According to some teenagers and college students, what causes their multitasking?
A. Too much tasks and arrangements. B. Too much time alone.
C. Inability to focus. D. Fear of being neglected.
54. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?
A Humans have begun to engage in the multitasking behaviors since the information age.
B. Multitasking is a critical skill that students are required to learn at school.
C. Only parents can help their kids to get rid of the multitasking habits.
D. Multitasking may prepare students for the reality of today’s fast-paced work environment.
55. What do educators and psychologist advise parents to do about their multitasking kids?
A. To cut off home internet connection.
B. To seek medical treatment.
C. To encourage their kids to have some social life.
D. To help their kids to set personal goals.
【答案】51. D 52. B 53. A 54. D 55. C
【解析】

【51题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“But what’s the impact of this media consumption? And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another?(但是这种媒体消费影响是什么呢？这些多重任务设备如何改变孩子的学习、推理和交流方式呢？)”可知，本文主要讲述的是多重任务对孩子的影响，故选D。
【52题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语“warp speed”的后文内容“when it has become routine to conduct several IM (即时通讯) conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once.(同时进行几次即时通讯对话、看电视和使用电脑已成为惯例)”可知，多重任务处理已经成为了惯例，故此处的“warp speed”与B项“高速发展”意思相近，故选B。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“a growing challenge not just because technology offers such a handy option but because many teenagers and college students say over-committed (任务过量的) schedules drives much of their multitasking.(这是一个越来越大的挑战，不仅仅因为科技提供了如此方便的选择，还因为许多青少年和大学生表示过度任务的日程安排在很大程度上推动了他们的多任务处理)”可知，导致青少年和大学生多重任务处理是因为他们每天太多的任务和安排，故选A。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’s fast-paced work placed, many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend.(尽管在谋学方面，多任务处理的孩子可能会为当今快节奏的工作做好更好的准备，但许多科学家对这一趋势感到震惊)”可知，D项“多重任务处理的孩子可以为当今快节奏的工作环境做好准备。”是正确的。故选D。
【55题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively insure that their teenagers break free of uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings (许多教育工作者和心理学家表示，父母需要积极确保他们的青少年摆脱对屏幕的无法控制的接触，花时间与人在一起接触)”可知，教育工作者和心理学家建议父母应该鼓励孩子摆脱屏幕，多与人接触，有一些社交生活。故选C。

【答案】Hello, everyone!
I’m Li Jin, a senior three student from Chenguang high school. I’m more than delighted to communicate with the classmates from the sister school in Britain online about campus life. Looking back, I find the past days have witnessed plenty of memorable activities. And the one that impressed me most is the coming-of-age ceremony.
The meaningful event was held on May 4th to honor the students who had turned 18. We gathered at the stadium, wearing traditional dresses. First, our principal sincerely extended his congratulations on us becoming grown-ups. And we reviewed our high school life together, which was full of happiness. Then followed the Confucian-style coming-of-age ceremonies —Ji Li (for girls) and Guan Li (for boys). Finally, we made a solemn vow to shoulder the responsibilities of an adult.
Personally, this activity not only exposed us to traditional Chinese culture, but also motivated us to embrace the new identity and live up to our promise. We, 18-year-olds, should cherish our youth.
That’s all. Thank you.
