Grammar and vocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passa

17、ge coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Its OK Not to Be OKEvery now and then, you are probably told not to give up when things get difficult. But

18、at what point can we feel that its OK to give up? Sometimes, giving up can be a thoughtful and brave decision. If you feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders and it is holding _21_ down, find a way to take a break._22_ (remember) that you can always give up when you hit your lim

19、it and start over when you feel ready again.Simone Biles, with a _23_ (combine) total of 32 Olympic and World Championship medals, got a case of the “twisties” at the Olympics in Tokyo last year. This means that when doing flips (空翻) or twists, the worlds greatest gymnast had a hard time figuring ou

20、t _24_ the ground was. So, she told the world she wasnt going to compete _25_ she knew her limits. If she had pushed herself at all costs, she might have ended up with a lifelong injury. Instead, she knew when _26_ (tell) people she wasnt OK.As a four-time Grand Slam winner at the age of 23 the Japa

21、nese tennis player Naomi Osaka _27_ (drop) out of the 2021 French Open. She announced that she needed a break _28_ the spotlight to work on her mental health. In a TIME magazine interview before the Olympics, she said, “I do hope that people _29_ relate and understand its OK to not be OK, and its OK

22、 to talk about it. There are people _30_ experiences are inspiring, and there is usually light at the end of any tunnel.”Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. justify B. trend

23、 C. theory D. restricted E. diversifying F. obviously G. termed H. climate I. suddenly J. seeking K. evidentThe Lipstick EffectIn 2020, the world was plunged into an economic downturn as the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread closures to businesses. Under these circumstances, millions of people _31

24、_ found themselves facing financial insecurity. During such times of economic hardship, one may naturally expect that consumer markets will see a decline in expenditure, as people everywhere feel _32_ to making only “essential” purchases. However, a curious phenomenon known as the “lipstick effect”

25、can often be observed.The lipstick effect refers to the phenomenon of consumers spending on small luxury goods even when an economic depression occurs. This phenomenon was _33_ the “lipstick effect” in 2001 by Leonard Lauder, chairman of luxury cosmetic company Este Lauder. He had not only witnessed

26、 the phenomenon at work but also realized that it was especially _34_ in the case of lipstick and other cosmetic products.So, how exactly do consumers who are short of cash _35_ making such purchases? First and perhaps most _36_, consumers may simply wish to give themselves treats now and again to p

27、rovide distractions from their financial insecurity. Another _37_ has to do with labour markets. Specifically, during the economic depression, job seeking tends to become more competitive. Thus, people _38_ employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical a

28、ppearance. By using products such as lipstick, they may feel more confident during job interviews.Whatever the causes of the lipstick effect, this phenomenon is no short-lived _39_. During the global depression of 2007-2009, sales of cosmetic in the United States increased by around 5%. Based on suc

29、h data, it seems that even in the current insecure economic _40_, the luxury cosmetics industry is one that will be sticking around.III.Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the

30、 word or phrase that best fits the context.The human memory is phenomenally strong. It also has a habit of getting things badly wrong. According to Jonathan Hancock our memory expert, faulty memories can be _41_ revealing.Just last week,_42_, my wife and I were discussing how wed chosen our youngest

31、 sons name. I had a _43_ memory of us writing out a list of possible names, but stopping after just a few because wed spotted one we both loved.My wife _44_. In her memory, wed had a much longer list, and gone back and chosen one from the middle of the list.So we dug out the piece of paper wed used-

32、and found that wed actually done something completely _45_ to choose Nates name.Memory mistakes happen on a larger scale, too. The “Mandela Effect” is when lots of people have confident recollections that turn out to be _46_. It was named by researchers who were discussing their strong memories of N

33、elson Mandelas death in prison-when he actually lived for 23 years after his _47_.There are plenty of other examples of this phenomenon. If youre sure that you remember seeing the Monopoly Man wearing a spyglass, for instance, or hearing a wicked queen say “Mirror, mirror on the wall,” youve _48_ it

34、 yourself (he doesnt, and she says, “Magic mirror on the wall”_49_).So whats going on? Well, for starters, memory often works by _50_, and similar bits of information can overlap in our brains. Were also good at “filling in the blanks” with details that are logical but untrue. Whats more, whenever w

35、e run through a memory, we make it stronger_51_ any bits that were wrong.But theres plenty of good news here, too.Everyone misremembers. We shouldnt be too hard on ourselves when we make mistakes. The mental associations that sometimes lead to _52_ can also help us to find information otherwise diff

36、icult to locate.If youre _53_ with someones name, try thinking of things you associate with them, and see if your brain gets the push it needs.Discussing your memories is great mental exercise. It highlights strengths and weaknesses, and lets you learn tips from others. _54_ memories often builds a

37、much more accurate picture. That was certainly true for my wife and me.Make sure to remember that remembering is a creative _55_: mind-blowingly powerful, and also likely to make mistakes.41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information

41、given in the passage you have just read.(A)A rare 765-year-old gold coin found on farm land in Devon in south-west England is expected to sell for up to half a million pounds at auction. It is believed that the coin was made more than 750 years ago, during the rule of the English King Henry III. It

42、is one of only eight known to exist.Featuring a picture of King Henry III on one side and a cross and roses on the other, the coin is around 2.5 centimetres across. It was made with gold that came from north Africa. It was found in September last year by a detectorist (someone who looks for items bu

43、ried underground using a metal detector) in Hemyock village. The detectorist had no idea how rare the coin was until he posted a photo of it on social media, where it was spotted by a history expert.The finder, who doesnt want to be named, was told to take the coin to the British Museum, where it wa

44、s confirmed that the coin was very rare. According to the law, the finder is allowed to keep it because its a single coin and not part of a bigger haul but he has decided to sell it. He told the BBC, “The coin was found in an unappealing field and could quite easily have never been recovered. Now it

45、 is protected for future generations to enjoy.”The coin is especially valuable because it was one of Englands first gold coins. The countrys coins were made of silver until King Henry III, who ruled from 1216 until his death in 1272, introduced gold ones with his picture on them.Professor David Carp

46、enter at Kings College London, has traced the coin back to a man called John de Hidon, who was the lord of Hemyock Manor. Carpenter thinks the coin may have fallen out of someones pocketeither de Hidon himself or one of his staff.56. The correct order of the events that happened is .The value of the

47、 coin was confirmed. A coin was unearthed in the field.The coin was on display at the British Museum. The coin was intended for sale.The coin caught the attention of a history expert.A. B. C. D. 57. Which of the following aspects is mentioned about the coin?A. Its exhibition.B. Its significance.C. I

48、ts preservation.D. Its distribution.58. The underlined word “haul” in the third paragraph probably means .A. stolen or illegal thingsB. imported goodsC. patented cultural itemsD. hidden mineral resources59. Which of the following may be the best title for the news story?A. How to Discover Hidden Tre

49、asureB. A Coin Sold for MillionsC. History Miraculously Repeats ItselfD. Treasure Hunter Strikes Gold(B)60. What can be learned about the Medical Research Foundation?A. It is a UK-based medical center for rare diseases.B. It is breaking ground in tackling antimicrobial resistance.C. It is famous for

50、 training next generations of scientists.D. It is a section of the Medical Research Council.61. If Jenny would like to be kept informed of the work of the Medical Research Foundation via email, she should_.A. fill in the form at the bottomB. scan the QR code on the rightC. click the provided website

51、 linkD. send an email to the foundation62. The whole page is devoted to_.A. advocating one charitable agencyB. introducing some brilliant scientistsC. launching an appeal for donationsD. raising awareness of global health challenges(C)Children often learn new languages more easily than adults do, bu

52、t its unclear why. Some theorize that grasping a language requires absorbing subtle patterns unconsciously and that adults superior conscious reasoning is to blame. New research suggests that, indeed, grown-ups might just be too smart for their own good.For a recent study in the Journal of Experimen

53、tal Psychology: General, a group of Belgian adults at the same time read and heard strings of four made-up words (such as “kieng nief siet hiem”).Specific consonants (辅音) always appeared at the beginning or end of a word if the word contained a certain vowel (元音). Participants next read the sequence

54、s aloud quickly. Their ability to avoid mistakes doing so indicated how well they absorbed the consonant-vowel patterns.But before exposure to the new words, the participants had carried out a separate test: pressing keys to react to letters and numbers. Some got a much faster, more mentally drainin

55、g version of this test.Those who did the difficult version claimed greater mental exhaustion afterward-but performed better on the following language task The researchers assume that tired learners used less conscious analysis on the word rules: they were free to learn like a child.For a related pap

56、er in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, the research team had English-speaking adults listen to streams of syllables (音节) secretly grouped into three-syllable “words.” Later, they played pairs of three-syllable units; one word in the pair came from the stream, and one was a ne

57、w combination. The participants guessed which word was familiar, then rated their confidence.In one participant group, some had first done the original mentally draining test. In another, some had received magnetic pulses to interrupt activity in a brain area that previous research has linked to exe

58、cutive control. In both groups, these measures improved participants performance on the syllable task when they were unsure about their answers, indicating unconscious analysis of speech. Neuroscientist Michael Ullman, who was not involved in either paper, likes that both the studies added to mental

59、 burden differently and measured different skills. Thats really good in science because youve got evidences pointing to the same direction,” he says, adding that he would like to see higher language skills such as grammar studied this way.63. The reason why some Belgians were given a more difficult

60、test before the language task was that .A. they would have no time to prepare for the upcoming taskB. they would be too tired mentally to consciously analyze the rulesC. they could have something to refer to in the following taskD. they might compare the difficulty level of the two tasks64. How did

61、the participants who had received magnetic pulses do in the syllable task, compared with those who hadnt?A. They relied more upon conscious analysis.B. They identified more familiar combinations.C. They performed the task less confidently.D. They were less able to control emotions.65. What can be in

62、ferred from Michael Ullmans remark?A. The research result is not solid until grammar is included.B. Subconscious mind remains to be explored in science.C. The outcomes of the two researches back each other upD. More evidence is needed to back the claim of the two papers.66. Which of the following co

63、nclusions will the research team agree with?A. Human brain processes languages in multiple ways.B. Conscious analysis is the key to mastering a language.C. Increasing mental health improves ones language.D. Reducing reasoning may help to learn a language.Section CDirections: Read the passage careful

64、ly. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Touching Emoji(表情符号)Distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic has made both physical and social connections a touch more difficult to maintain. For St

65、anford University graduate student Millie Salvato, being apart from her mother on the opposite coast has proved challenging._67_ In a new study, she and her colleagues demonstrated a wearable sleeve that can simulate (模拟) human touch and convey abstract social messages sent electronically. Salvato a

66、nd her team measured how 37 participants expressed social information in different situations. In each test, one person wore a pressure-sensing device on an arm, and another touched it to respond to situations involving six intended meanings: attention seeking, gratitude, happiness, calming, love an

67、d sadnessAfter collecting 661 touch movements-squeezes, strokes, shakes, pokes, and the like-Salvato and her colleagues mapped the location and pressure of each. _68_ Finally, they programmed a wearable sleeve to simulate these movements using eight embedded disks that shake when electronically sign

68、aled.“It doesnt feel like an actual human hand . but it doesnt feel like these separate motions either,” Salvato says, as one might expect from large moving disks. “It feels nice, honestly.” _69_ For comparison, a previous study from Gerlings laboratory found participants could match situations for

69、touches from real human hands 57 percent of the time.In the new study, “I think its interesting that participants can reliably understand what touch has been delivered to them at a pretty high rate, given the scarce amount of information that they have available to them,” Gerling says.Previous resea

70、rch has found that social touch is important for physical and mental health. _70_A. One cant help but wonder when new tech will convey emotion through a virtual touch.B. Even with no training, 30 new study participants correctly matched the simulated touches to the six situations 45 percent of the t

71、ime.C. Sometimes a text or video call is not enough, and people in Salvatos situation often long for a way to send a loving touch or comforting squeeze from afar.D. In the future, instead of just sending a 3 to a loved one by phone or computer, adding a “touch emoji” might help us feel just a little

72、 bit closer.E. Next, they used a machine-learning software to select the movements that were most reliably part of each response.F. “Its a unique work that looks at how our social touch is delivered and then. how to reproduce it,” says Gerling, a touch researcher not involved in the study.IV. Summar

73、y Writing71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Should Hand Feeding Dolphins Be Encouraged?Some tourist centers train Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins to approach beachsi

74、de public sighting areas or boats by hand-feeding them small amounts of fish every day. Because hand-fed males aggressively attack each other over the food, putting themselves and nearby humans in danger, tourist centers focus their hand feeding only on female dolphins, says Valerie Senigaglia at Mu

75、rdoch University in Perth, AustraliaBut recent studies have shown that only 38% of the calves (崽) of hand-fed wild dolphins survive to three years of age, which is much lower than the average 77% survival rate for wild calves in general. To better understand why, Senigaglia and her colleagues evalua

76、ted the social behavior of dolphins around the Bunbury coast in Western Australia. In particular, they observed the individual behavior and movement of 35 dolphins, including 13 that had been hand-fed using a small boat. They regularly followed each dolphin for periods lasting from 20 minutes to 3 h

77、ours for two years in a row for a total of 180 hours.They found that hand-fed dolphins swam in relatively large groups, but more readily broke away from them to join different ones. In general, they created weak ties with other group members. “You can feel lonely in a room full of people and its the

78、 same thing for dolphins,” says Senigaglia. Free-swimming dolphins that are fed by hand become less socially involved with their peers. As a result, their calves may grow up lacking vital social skills-which could explain, at least in part, why they are twice as likely to die before reaching adultho

79、od as wild calves generally.No wonder animal right activists are calling on the practice of hand-feeding dolphins to be stopped._V.
