9、 First of all, I respected his _22_ to teaching. Because his lectures were always well-prepared and clearly _23_, students crowded into his classroom. His followers liked the fact that he believed in what he taught. Furthermore, he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an _24_ way, introducing

10、 such aids to understanding as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers. Once he _25_ sang a song in class in order to make a point clear. Secondly, I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them _26_ the telephone. Drinking coffee in the cafe, he would ea

11、sily make friends with students. Sometimes he would _27_ a student to a game of chess. Other times, he would join students groups to discuss a variety of _28_: agriculture, diving and mathematics. Many young people visited him in his office for _29_ on their studies; others came to his home for soci

12、al evenings. Finally, I was attracted by his lively sense of humor. He believed that no lesson is a success _30_, during it, the students and the professor _31_ at least one loud laugh. Through his sense of humor, he made learning more _32_ and more lasting. If it is true that life makes a wise man

15、节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1分, 共10分）阅读下列短文。根据短文内容填空，在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。AGaining knowledge is a part of the learning process and how _33_ (put) knowledge gained every day into reality has interested many people. As a proverb goes, “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to

16、it.” Obviously, this saying tries to deliver the message that we ought not to stop _34_ (practice) it if we truly want to master the knowledge we learn. There are several reasons accounting for the statement. For one thing, human beings are forgetful beings, and for another, knowledge has become mor

17、e and more complicated and it cant be understood if we do not practice _35_ we have learned repeatedly.BMost of us assume that we communicate _36_ (good) with our friends and loved ones than we do with strangers. However, _37_ is often the case that the closer we are to somebody, the less likely we

18、are to listen carefully to them. The reason _38_ many people unconsciously “tune out” their family members or close friends is that they think they already know what the other person is going to say. It is similar _39_ the way in which you might not notice signs, landmarks, or scenery on a path you

19、have travelled down numerous times.CLike many major events, a marathon can generate a massive carbon footprint. Thousands travel - some by plane - to the location. Waste from food packaging and goody bags gets _40_ (leave) behind by spectators and runners. For example, during the London Marathon in

20、2018, 47,000 plastic bottles _41_ (collect), although some were recycled. This is becoming a big issue for cities how to host a worthwhile event, encouraging people to exercise and help charities, whilst protecting the environment? Over the last few years, several cities _42_ (develop) formal plans

21、to reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable ideas. One event in Wales, for example, introduced recycling for old running kit and ethically sourced the race T-shirts.第三部分：阅读理解（共三节，共42分）第一节（共11小题；每小题2分，共22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。AEvery year, Earth Day is celebrated on April

22、 22, and people all around the world celebrate this day by taking part in environmental awareness activities and working towards raising awareness about important issues that our planet Earth is currently facing, like global warming and pollution.Before the 1970s, there were almost no environmental

23、laws and industries were allowed to dump their industrial waste and fumes anywhere in the world. A US Senator by the name of Gaylord Nelson was concerned by the growing levels of pollution. So in the spring of 1970, Senator Nelson created Earth Day as a way to promote awareness about these issues in

24、 the US. His plan was successful, as 20 million Americans started a march for Earth Day around the world. As a result, the US government started an agency called the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Over the next few years, the movement spread across the world and Earth Day became international

25、ly recognised.The theme of Earth Day 2021 is “restore our Earth”. The focus of this years theme is restoring Earths natural processes and ecosystems. Apart from that, the goal of this years Earth Day is to focus on taking green technologies and creative actions to restore the Earths natural ecosyste

26、m. More than stopping pollution and global warming, this years Earth Day focuses on reversing the damage caused to the Earth.Despite strict environmental laws in many countries across the world, problems such as global warming, air pollution and climate change continue to threaten our planet. Many s

27、cientists around the world are warning us about the already irreversible(不可逆的) problems that have been created by microplastics, oil spills and depletion(消耗) of the ozone layer. If the human race continues on the same path as before, the extinction of the human race is not too far off in the future.

28、 Earth Day seeks to help raise peoples awareness around the world about these issues and bring positive changes, so future generations stand a chance of living a safer life.43. What is the theme of this years Earth Day? A. To slow down global warming.B. To reduce individuals carbon footprint.C. To p

29、romote the development of emerging industries.D. To restore the Earths natural processes and ecosystems.44. Which activity is suitable to celebrate Earth Day? A. Running long-distance races.B. Starting a movement on recycling.C. Attending a lecture about human rights.D. Participating in medical rese

30、arch on cancers.45. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Establishing a Day for the EarthB. Efforts to Bring the Earth back to NormalC. A Day for Promoting Environmental AwarenessD. A Fight against Severe Environmental ProblemsBRole-Playing in Child DevelopmentPlaying is a k

31、ey component in the learning process for virtually all of the children. There are various ways in which children play, but one of the most important is role-playing. This involves a child engaging in an activity during which he or she pretends to be another person. Experts on child development belie

32、ve that role-playing can increase the connections in childrens brains that help them learn. Language skills are some of the most important aspects of learning. When children role-play, they must work out steps that need to be taken to complete a task, and create plans to act out a story. These activ

33、ities enable children to develop their oral language skills. They become able to organize others and to give directions. Childrens social skills can also be developed. When engaged in group activities, children have different roles. Some are leaders while others are followers. At times, the children

34、 will disagree, so they must learn to negotiate and compromise with one another, and they must learn to apologize when they have strong arguments or disagreements as well. Children further learn about cooperation and sharing and, hopefully, begin to understand things from another persons point of vi

35、ew. Besides helping children learn some kinds of skills, role-playing fosters childrens imaginations and can therefore assume a number of forms. For example, boys may pretend to shave like their fathers or perform various tasks around their homes. Girls, meanwhile, often pretend to be mothers to do

36、some daily tasks, particularly if it involves caring for young babies. Sometimes children may imagine belonging to a group of superheroes or imitate (模仿) real-life situations. They might dress up and assume different roles. Another example is the performing of stories they read in books, which is al

37、so very common when they role-play. Another beneficial aspect of role-playing is that it can help children deal with certain actions that may cause them emotional pain, such as the fear they face when going to school for the first time or making a visit to the doctor. If children role-play situation

38、s like these beforehand, the fear that they experience when doing these actions in reality frequently lessens. For this reason, experts encourage parents to allow their children to role-play and even to take part in these activities to help their children master their fears.Role-playing can benefit

39、children in many ways. There is no activity for which young children are better prepared than fantasy play. Nothing is more dependable and risk-free, and the dangers are only pretend.46. From the authors description in Paragraph 4, we learn that children often _. A. involve daily-life activities in

40、groupsB. act out the activities that their parents doC. perform daily tasks instead of their parents D. change real-life situations when role-playing47. The author believes that role-playing may help children _. A. develop a better awareness of grammarB. receive benefits from their emotional painC.

41、improve creativity by using their imaginationsD. understand how to be both leaders and followers 48. The underlined word “master” in Paragraph 5 probably means _.A. ignore B. confirm C. overcome D. predict49. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?A. B. C. D. I: Introduction P:

42、 Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion CI watch documentaries, not movies. I read history books, not fiction. I use every free moment to accomplish one of the tasks on my never-ending checklist, and I am completely filled with thoughts of productivity. An hour sleeping is an hour wasted. And like

43、the rest of 21st century America, I like it. But this fixation on productivity is increasingly destroying character and transforming men into robots.New York Times columnist David Brooks warned American University students of this cultural decline in a speech. “We cut off all things spiritual and em

44、otional in a competitive urge to stand out”, he said, “The pressure to succeed professionally, to acquire skills, to do the things you need to do to succeed in an information age economy really became the overwhelming（难以应付的）pressures, and it sort of weakens the thinking about character and morality.

45、”Many students happily go to college, viewing it as a next step on their rise to professional achievement. Forcing as many success-building activities into their schedules as they can, they enjoy keeping busy with little sleep. “Todays outstanding kids are likely to spend their afternoons and weeken

46、ds shuttling from one skill-improving activity to the next,” Brooks wrote in an article, “We fear failure more than we desire success.”A century ago, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline. We are experts on economics, material things and professional skills. We f

47、ail to discuss and understand relationships, emotions and all things spiritual. Philosopher Karl Popper divided the world into two categories: Clocks and Clouds. Clock problems are those that can be taken apart, examined and solved through deductive reasoning（演绎推理）. Clouds cannot be taken apart. Clo

48、ud problems represent whole systems that need to be understood in a different way.“When we have a Cloud problem, we try to turn it into a Clock problem,” Brooks said. And in a reason-centered culture, adding titles to ones resume becomes a trend. At American University, 85 percent of seniors (and 89

49、 percent of business majors) graduate with at least one practical experience which is often helpful to a students future career, but can sometimes draw focus away from academics.To prevent the death of mans character, Brooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love

50、he means love for a task, job, or another person. “Synchronicity is key to happiness,” he said. Rather than crazily increasing our long lists of accomplishments, we need to lose ourselves in what we do, and success will come on its own.50. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that people _.A. are controll

51、ed by time B. are eager to achieve C. are changing their characters D. are keen on reading books more 51. What is the authors attitude towards colleges that existed a century ago?A. Tolerant. B. Uncertain. C. Approving. D. Curious.52. The last paragraph mainly tells us that _. A. success comes from

52、devotion to workB. the focus on human natures countsC. more work contributes to happinessD. love is more important than focus 53. The purpose of this passage is to _.A. criticize students desire for achievements B. stress the importance of productivityC. warn about the pressure to seek success D. br

People who do well on IQ tests tend to be more successful in the classroom and the workplace. They also tend to live longer, heal

54、thier lives, and are less likely to experience negative life events. 54 In a study, Ruth Karpinski and her colleagues carried out a study on the members of Mensa, a high IQ society. The study covered mood disorders and anxiety disorders. Respondents were asked to report whether they had ever suffere

55、d from each disorder. The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensas highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders.To explain their findings, Karpinski and his team bring up the hyper brai

56、n and hyper body theory. This theory holds that, for all of its advantages, being highly intelligent is associated with psychological and physiological “overexcitabilities”, or OE. 55 This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person. According to the theory, OEs ar

57、e more common in highly intelligent people. A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining negative outcomes that simply wouldnt occur to someone less intelligent. 56 The results of this study must be interpreted cautiously. Showing that a disorder is mo

58、re common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesnt prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder. 57 All the same, the findings set the stage for research that promises to cast new light on the link between intelligence and health. One possibility is that

59、 associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy (基因多效性), which occurs when a gene (基因) influences seemingly unrelated characteristics. 58 In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by ge

60、netic factors. From a practical standpoint, this research may lead to insights about how to improve peoples psychological and physical well-being.A. Now theres some bad news for those smart people.B. There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case. C. It is an unusually strong reacti

61、on to an environmental threat or abuse.D. Scientists did many researches to understand the reasons behind the advantages.E. That may cause the bodys stress response, which may make the person even more anxious.F. Its also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other tha

They found that the differences between the respondents were seen for mood and anxiety disorders.第三节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）阅读短文，回答问题。Cleaning the ocean of plasticThese days, were all well aware of the plastic problem the worlds facing. Although we all realize what a serious issue plastic poll

63、ution is, its different when you actually see the overwhelming results of it for yourself.A team of researchers recently published a study on the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch in the journal Scientific Reports. According to the study, the patch, which is located off the coast of California i

64、n the US, is made up of 79,000 tons of plastic waste. At 1.6 million square kilometers, its over four times the size of Japan, or almost 100 times the size of Beijing.“Ive been doing this research for a while, but it was depressing to see the patch in person,” Laurent Lebreton, lead author of the st

65、udy, told The Guardian. “There were things you just wondered how they made it into the ocean. Theres clearly an increasing influx of plastic into the garbage patch.”Its believed that eight million tons of plastic ends up in the sea each year, and a lot of it ends up collecting near large ocean curre

66、nts around the world, forming “islands” of plastic. This causes problems not only for sea creatures, but also for humans. The swirling ocean currents eventually break down some of the plastic, with a lot of it ending up in the stomachs of fish and birds. As a result, its believed that plastic has wo

67、rked its way up the food chain directly onto our plates - not to mention the countless creatures that choke on plastic waste, or are poisoned by the chemicals in it.So what can we do about this? Lebreton is a member of the Ocean Cleanup Foundation, a group thats developed technology to collect plast

68、ic waste from the ocean. This is a huge project. The group claims it will take around five years just to clean up half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone. But rather than discourage people from using plastic altogether, Lebreton believes that we should simply be more careful of how we use it.

69、“In my opinion, plastic is very useful . But I think we must change the way we use plastic, particularly in terms of single-use plastic and those objects that have a very short service lifespan,” he told the BBC.1. What is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch made up of? 2. Why does plastic also cause pr

70、oblems for humans? 3. Please paraphrase the following sentence.Its believed that the eight million tons of plastic ends up in the sea each year, and a lot of it ends up collecting near large ocean currents around world, forming “islands” of plastic.4. Please decide which part is false in the followi

Please provide at least two suggestions on what we can do to change the way we use plastic. (about 20 words)第四部分：课文知识（共15分）第一节 单
