B
“You should get a cat,” my doctor said. “A cat?” I couldn’t even look after myself! I took a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline (猫科的) friend into my life.
Adopting an animal during the height of the pandemic was far from easy. When my partner and I found Cinnamon, her adoption information made her out as the perfect kitten. We filled out the paperwork and had a few weeks to prepare for her arrival.
When she came home, it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didn’t understand “no”, “stop it” or “don’t do that”. She was the worst cat I’ve ever owned. I was beginning to doubt my doctor’s advice. We decided to start taking her for walks. I could hardly leave the house before, but my heart couldn’t say no to Cinnamon. Cinnamon showed me what bravery looked like. If there was a dog at a park, she would run toward it. She jumped without knowing where she would land. She loved adventure. I found myself mirroring her behavior after a while, jumping out of bed without a second thought. I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident, leaving a cat-sized hole in my heart the day she left us at only six months old. I’m no stranger to sadness or grief, but losing my pet so suddenly was the most confusing emotional experience I’ve ever had. She was supposed to help me through more of my life than the three short months we had her. She no longer wakes me up at 5 a.m. begging for breakfast, but she is still the reason I get up every morning.
Our time is often cut unpredictably, unmistakably short. It would be a shame to live life being anything less than brave and adventurous.
4. How did the author feel originally when advised to adopt a cat?
A. Thrilled. B. Ashamed. C. Shocked. D. Relieved.
5. Why did the author doubt the doctor’s advice in the beginning?
A. Because the author was too ill to look after the cat.
B. Because the pandemic made it impossible to keep a cat at home.
C. Because the author’s family didn’t approve of the plan.
D. Because raising the cat was challenging for the author.
6. Which of the following best describes the cat Cinnamon?
A. Stupid but adorable. B. Naughty and adventurous.
C. Inactive but courageous. D. Fierce and aggressive.
7. What message does the story convey?
A. Friendship with pets is short. B. The short life is predictable.
C. The loss of a pet is painful. D. The courage to take risks is beneficial.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者接受医生的建议，养了一只猫，感受到了猫带来的积极影响，并了解到人们应该拥有冒险的勇气。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“I couldn’t even look after myself! I took a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline (猫科的) friend into my life.(我甚至不能照顾自己！我深吸了一口气，仔细考虑是否要让一只猫朋友进入我的生活)”可知，作者认为甚至都照顾不好自己，所以听到医生建议自己养猫时感到很震惊，故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When she came home, it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didn’t understand ‘no’, ‘stop it’ or ‘don’t do that’. She was the worst cat I’ve ever owned. I was beginning to doubt my doctor’s advice. (当她回到家时，越来越明显的是，Cinnamon不懂‘不’、‘住手’或‘不要那样做’。她是我养过的最糟糕的猫。我开始怀疑医生的建议了)”可知，Cinnamon不懂指令，作者认为她是作者养过的最糟糕的猫，即养猫对作者来说是个挑战，因此作者开始怀疑医生的建议。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Cinnamon showed me what bravery looked like. If there was a dog at a park, she would run toward it. She jumped without knowing where she would land. She loved adventure.(Cinnamon让我见识了什么是勇敢。如果公园里有只狗，她就会跑过去。她在不知道会落在哪里的情况下也会跳下去。她喜欢冒险)”可推断，Cinnamon很顽皮并且喜欢冒险。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It would be a shame to live life being anything less than brave and adventurous.(如果生活中没有勇气和冒险精神，那将是一种遗憾)”以及文章内容可推断，本文主要告诉读者冒险的勇气是有益的。故选D。
C
You might see loneliness as someone (usually an old person) sits alone, staring into the distance or out of a window. Such images are deceptive. Researchers have actually found that those who report experiencing loneliness the most are young people, and such images of solitude (孤独) don’t match the experience of loneliness during youth. Those years are typically spent surrounded by other people, at school or at work.
Loneliness during youth can be defined as a negative feeling about a difference between the relationships we have and those we want. This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we don’t feel they understand us or share common interests with us. Although loneliness is often a difficult experience, it can help us to reconnect and to rethink our relationships so that we can build (or seek out) the ones that mean the most to us.
There are certain features of youth that tend to give rise to loneliness. In youth, our friendships are increasingly important in providing us with emotional support. Research shows that young people have higher expectations of their friendships than adults do; they show a preference for larger friend groups, more companionship and higher frequency of contact with friends. When we consider that loneliness serves the function of keeping us safe within our social world, it makes sense that the feeling like we do not “fit in”, as so many young people feel, gives rise to loneliness. Another reason is our developing sense of self-discovering who we are. That often means changes to values or beliefs. It can be challenging when your friends are going through the same process, but might not follow the same path as you. Young people often report feeling lonely at school, while home is a comfortable space. But when there are difficulties at home — such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive family members — these can make the feeling of loneliness worse.
If you find yourself feeling lonely and it seems like nothing is helping, do not give up hope. It is likely that you have not yet found the strategy that works for you. Here are some practical steps you can try, starting with what you can do on your own and moving on to ways to connect with others.
8. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deceptive” in paragraph 1?
A. irrelevant B. disgraceful C. misleading D. unfortunate
9. What does loneliness of young people usually refer to?
A. Not having a preference for dealing with tough things alone.
B. Not having friends or family for company when in trouble.
C. Not having interest in others’ school life within the social world.
D. Not having positive attitude to the present relationships with others.
10. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason of young people’s loneliness?
A. Discovery of self-identity. B. Desire for more friends.
C. Difficulties at home. D. Unfamiliar environments.
11. What will the text probably talk about next?
A. Suggestions on how to beat loneliness.
B. More reasons that cause the feeling of loneliness.
C. Strategies to deal with the arguments or tension in family.
D. Ways to face the departure of supportive family members.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是什么是青年时期的孤独及导致它的原因。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Researchers have actually found that those who report experiencing loneliness the most are young people, and such images of solitude (孤独) don’t match the experience of loneliness during youth. Those years are typically spent surrounded by other people, at school or at work.(研究人员实际上发现，那些报告孤独感最多的人是年轻人，而这种孤独的形象与青年时期的孤独感并不相符。那些年通常是在学校或工作中被其他人包围的)”可知，第一段开头所描绘的“You might see loneliness as someone (usually an old person) sits alone, staring into the distance or out of a window.(当一个人（通常是老人）独自坐着，凝视远方或窗外时，你可能会看到孤独)”的画面是假的，是有欺骗性的，因此deceptive的意思是“有欺骗性的，具有误导性的”，和misleading意思相近，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Loneliness during youth can be defined as a negative feeling about a difference between the relationships we have and those we want. This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we don’t feel they understand us or share common interests with us.(青年时期的孤独可以被定义为一种对我们现有的关系和我们想要的关系之间的差异的消极感觉。这意味着如果我们觉得别人不理解我们或与我们有共同的兴趣，我们可能会感到孤独)”可知，年轻人的孤独通常指的是对目前与他人的关系没有积极的态度。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Research shows that young people have higher expectations of their friendships than adults do; they show a preference for larger friend groups, more companionship and higher frequency of contact with friends. When we consider that loneliness serves the function of keeping us safe within our social world, it makes sense that the feeling like we do not “fit in”, as so many young people feel, gives rise to loneliness.(研究表明，年轻人对友谊的期望高于成年人；他们倾向于更大的朋友群体，更多的陪伴和更高频率的与朋友联系。虽然我们认为孤独在我们的社会世界中起着保证我们安全的作用，但不“融入”的感觉导致孤独是有道理，正如许多年轻人所感受到的那样)”，“Another reason is our developing sense of self-discovering who we are.(另一个原因是我们不断发展的自我发现意识)”和“But when there are difficulties at home — such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive family members — these can make the feeling of loneliness worse.(但是，当家里出现困难时——比如与家庭成员的争吵或紧张关系，以及支持你的家庭成员的离开——这些都会使孤独感恶化)”可知，年轻人孤独的原因包括自我认同的发现，渴望更多的朋友和家里的困难。D选项“不熟悉的环境”文章没有提到，故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Here are some practical steps you can try, starting with what you can do on your own and moving on to ways to connect with others.(这里有一些你可以尝试的实际步骤，从你自己能做的开始，然后再到与他人联系的方法)”推知，接下来可能会讲战胜孤独的建议，故选A。
D
About one-third of adults globally have high blood pressure, which increases the risk of having a heart attack or stroke (中风). Physical activity is known to lower blood pressure. However, many people have trouble keeping to exercise plans.
Yoga tends to be more sustainable (可持续的) than other forms of exercise because it is gentle, can be done with others and helps to relax the mind. Several experiments have found that yoga lowers blood pressure. However, these experiments have typically involved several sessions a week, which may not be achievable for many people.
To find out if yoga helps to reduce blood pressure in the real world, some researchers conducted a new study and analysed the electronic health records of 1,355 people aged 18 to 79 who practised yoga at least once a week. They compared each of these people with at least three other individuals. They had similar characteristics in terms of things like age, gender, and body mass index (BMI), but had no mention of practising yoga in their records. On average, the people who practised yoga had systolic blood pressure (收缩压) that was 2.8 mmHg lower and diastolic blood pressure (舒张压) that was 1.5 mmHg lower than those who didn’t.
This blood pressure reduction probably wouldn’t make a huge difference to most people in the study, since they tended to be young and healthy. They already had normal blood pressure. But at a population level, if average blood pressure declined by this much, it would prevent a significant number of heart attacks and strokes. For example, a 2018 study found that a population-wide average systolic blood pressure reduction of 2 mmHg among middle-aged adults in the US would prevent more than 12,000 heart attacks and 7,000 strokes each year.
Based on the new study, we can’t say for sure that yoga lowers blood pressure, because there may be other explanations for the findings. People who do yoga may have lower blood pressure because they tend to have better diets, not because of the yoga itself. And yoga shouldn’t be seen as the replacement for blood pressure lowering medicines. Nevertheless, yoga is likely to assist in lowering blood pressure if it encourages sedentary (久坐的) people to exercise. “The greatest benefit is getting the exercise-shy to do something rather than increasing exercise in someone who does it regularly,” an expert says.
12. Which advantage does yoga have over other kinds of exercise?
A. It is easier for beginners to learn. B. It is more effective in keeping fit.
C. People are more likely to stick to it. D. People can find partners more easily.
13. Which of the following can be inferred from the new study?
A. The study took the relevant factors in reality into consideration.
B. All these participants were of the same age and gender.
C. The study analysed different kinds of exercise.
D The researchers studied the participants’ daily routine.
14 What does the author want to show by the example in paragraph 4?
A. The results are far from satisfactory.
B. Lowering blood pressure is quite easy.
C. Blood pressure reduction is beneficial.
D. Doing yoga once a week is meaningful.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Other reasons have been found to explain the blood pressure reduction for certain.
B. Encouraging inactive people to do yoga possibly contributes to lowering blood pressure.
C. Having better diets is more important than practising yoga regularly for sedentary people.
D. The benefits of practising yoga are equal to taking blood pressure lowering medicines.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明练习瑜伽可能有助于降低血压，从而有可能减少心脏病和中风危险。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Yoga tends to be more sustainable (可持续的) than other forms of exercise because it is gentle, can be done with others and helps to relax the mind. Several experiments have found that yoga lowers blood pressure.(瑜伽往往比其他形式的运动更可持续，因为它是温和的，可以和别人一起做，有助于放松思想。一些实验发现，瑜伽可以降低血压)”可知，瑜伽比其它形式的锻炼更容易坚持因为它是温和的，可以和别人一起做，有助于放松思想。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“To find out if yoga helps to reduce blood pressure in the real world, some researchers conducted a new study and analysed the electronic health records of 1,355 people aged 18 to 79 who practised yoga at least once a week. They compared each of these people with at least three other individuals. They had similar characteristics in terms of things like age, gender, and body mass index(BMI),but had no mention of practising yoga in their records. On average, the people who practised yoga had systolic blood pressure (收缩压) that was 2.8 mmHg lower and diastolic blood pressure(舒张压)that was 1.5 mmHg lower than those who didn’t.(为了找出瑜伽在现实世界中是否有助于降低血压，一些研究人员进行了一项新的研究，分析了1355名年龄在18岁至79岁之间、每周至少练习一次瑜伽的人的电子健康记录。他们将这些人中的每一个人与至少另外三个人进行了比较。他们在年龄、性别和身体质量指数(BMI)等方面具有相似的特征，但在他们的记录中没有提到练习瑜伽。平均而言，练习瑜伽的人的收缩压比不练习瑜伽的人低2.8毫米汞柱，舒张压比不练习瑜伽的人低1.5毫米汞柱)” 可知，这项研究分析了不同年龄，性别和身体指数的人。由此推知，研究考虑了现实中的相关因素。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。倒数第二段的“This blood pressure reduction probably wouldn’t make a huge difference to most people in the study, since they tended to be young and healthy. They already had normal blood pressure. But at a population level, if average blood pressure declined by this much, it would prevent a significant number of heart attacks and strokes.( 这种血压降低对研究中的大多数人来说可能不会有太大的影响，因为他们往往是年轻健康的。他们的血压已经正常了。但在人口水平上，如果平均血压下降这么多，就能预防大量心脏病发作和中风)”讲述了血压下降相对于个体可能没有太大影响，但是在人口水平上，却能够预防大量心脏病和中风，接下来讲述了例子“For example, a 2018 study found that a population-wide average systolic blood pressure reduction of 2 mmHg among middle-aged adults in the US would prevent more than 12,000 heart attacks and 7,000 strokes each year.(例如，2018年的一项研究发现，在美国中年人中，平均收缩压降低2毫米汞柱，每年可以预防12,000多次心脏病发作和7,000多次中风)”，由此推知，这个例子是用来说明血压降低的益处的。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Nevertheless, yoga is likely to assist in lowering blood pressure if it encourages sedentary (久坐的) people to exercise.(然而，如果瑜伽鼓励久坐不动的人运动，它可能有助于降低血压)”可知，鼓励不爱运动的人做瑜伽可能有助于降低血压。故选B。
第二节： (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The idea that red means stop and green means go affects more than just traffic light colors. We have been taught from a young age that red means danger, while green means safety. ___16___For something we have to look at every day, why couldn’t they have been prettier colors? You’re about to find out.
Before there were traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railroad companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go and green to mean caution. But train conductors ran into a problem with the color white meaning go — bright white could easily be mistaken for stars at night. ___17___ It has been that way ever since.
___18___ That means that as it travels through the air, it gets diffused (分散) less than other colors, so it can be seen from a greater distance. For example, think about how the light turns red as the sun sets. Even though the human eye is most sensitive to a yellowish-green highlighter color, it can see red from further away. But this could happen by chance. It’s not clear whether that was chosen based on wavelength, contrast against green nature or natural connection of red with things like blood. ___19___
Yellow has a shorter wavelength than red but a longer wavelength than green. This means that red is noticeable the furthest away, yellow in the middle and green the least distance away — a helpful advanced warning for needing to slow or stop.
However, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. ___20___ Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school areas, some traffic signs and school buses continue to be painted the color. Keep these safe driving tips in the back of your mind whenever you see a yellow light.
A. Railway companies eventually moved to the color green for go.
B. It could be a mix of all three!
C. But why were those particular colors chosen for traffic lights?
D. Employ these driving rules and know that traffic lights have certainly come a long way.
E. Red is the color with the longest wavelength.
F. When you’re impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don’t get mad.
G. Eventually, highly reflective materials were developed, and red stop signs were born.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. E 19. B 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是为什么要用红色表示停止，绿色表示通行。
【16题详解】
空前说“We have been taught from a young age that red means danger, while green means safety.(我们从小就被教导红色代表危险，绿色代表安全。)”，空后说“For something we have to look at every day, why couldn’t they have been prettier colors? You’re about to find out.(对于我们每天都要看的东西来说，为什么它们不能有更漂亮的颜色呢？你马上就知道了。)”，因此空格处应该提出疑问，为什么非要用这红色代表危险，绿色代表安全，C选项“But why were those particular colors chosen for traffic lights?(但是为什么选择这些特定的颜色作为交通灯呢？)”引出下文的解释，因此C选项承上启下，符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
空前说“But train conductors ran into a problem with the color white meaning go — bright white could easily be mistaken for stars at night.(但是火车售票员遇到了一个问题，白色的意思是“走”——明亮的白色很容易被误认为是夜晚的星星。)”，空后说“It has been that way ever since.(从那以后就一直是这样。)”，根据常识可知，现在是用绿色表示通行，因此空格处应该说铁路公司改为用绿色代表通行，A选项“Railway companies eventually moved to the color green for go.(铁路公司最终改用绿色代表通行。)”符合语境，故选A。
【18题详解】
空后说“That means that as it travels through the air, it gets diffused (分散) less than other colors, so it can be seen from a greater distance. For example, think about how the light turns red as the sun sets. Even though the human eye is most sensitive to a yellowish-green highlighter color, it can see red from further away.(这意味着当它在空气中传播时，它比其他颜色扩散得更少，所以它可以从更远的地方看到。例如，想想太阳下山时光线是如何变红的。尽管人类的眼睛对黄绿色荧光最敏感，但它可以在更远的地方看到红色。)”，说明本段主要介绍的是红色，E选项“Red is the color with the longest wavelength.(红色是波长最长的颜色。)”描述的是红色，因此符合语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
空前说“It’s not clear whether that was chosen based on wavelength, contrast against green nature or natural connection of red with things like blood.(目前尚不清楚这种选择是基于波长、与绿色的对比还是与血液等物质的自然联系。)”，既然尚不清楚，那就说明可能这几种都有，B选项“It could be a mix of all three!(它可能是三者的混合！)”说明了空前描述的这几种情况可能都有，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选B。
【20题详解】
空前说“However, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area.(然而，信不信由你，黄色曾经被用来表示停止。早在20世纪初，一些停车标志是黄色的，因为在光线不足的地区很难看到红色标志。)”，空格处应该解释后来为什么又出现了红色标志，G选项“Eventually, highly reflective materials were developed, and red stop signs were born.(最终，高反射材料被开发出来，红色停车标志诞生了。)”说明了红色停车标志是如何诞生的，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The photograph of Mrs. Mueller that I took with my camera captures her seated on the sofa in our living room, smiling shyly. Mrs. Mueller was our next-door neighbor. My sister Laurel and I got to know her after her husband died. She didn’t have children of her own and no relatives that we knew of. She was gentle and kind, and we considered her our special friend.
Early one December, Mrs. Mueller went into the hospital. Laurel and I were busy making Christmas presents, and we pondered (琢磨) what to make for Mrs. Mueller. It dawned on us that she would be coming home a few days before Christmas to an empty house with no holiday decorations. We lit upon the idea of decorating a small tree that would greet her with lights and cheer. We were wondering how to carry out our plan when the answer appeared.
I was in Miss O’Keefe’s sixth grade class that year, and we had decorated a small tree with paper-link chains and ornaments (装饰品). It was beautiful. Best of all, it had to be removed from the classroom before Christmas vacation. Miss O’Keefe said there would be a drawing (抽签) for the tree. We would each write our name on a piece of paper and put it in the shoebox she had decorated. On the last day of school before vacation, she would draw a name, and that student could take home the tree.
After I put my folded piece of paper into the box, I closed my eyes and clasped my hands, praying quietly. Miss O’Keefe noticed me and asked, “Holly, why were you praying just now?“ I told her Mrs. Mueller’s story and our wish to make her happy. “Good luck!” Miss O’Keefe said with a smile. After school, I was beside myself with excitement! My mother pointed out there were 30 children who might win the tree, but I was certain I would get it because God would definitely hear my sincere prayer.
The day before vacation finally arrived. Laurel and I usually walked to and from school, but I was so sure I would win the tree that I persuaded Mom to pick us up in the car that day.
注意 ：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Late that afternoon, Miss O’Keefe announced it was time for the drawing.

The next day, when Mrs. Mueller’s car turned into her driveway, we hurried over to welcome her back.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】读后续写范文一：
Late that afternoon, Miss O’Keefe announced it was time for the drawing. My heart pounded. I held my breath as she took the lid off the shoebox, closed her eyes, swirled her hand around in the box of folded pieces of paper, and drew one out. She opened her eyes, unfolded the paper, looked at it, and proclaimed, “Holly has won the tree.” I was ecstatic! After school, some of my classmates carried it to our car and put it into the trunk carefully so the ornaments wouldn’t get knocked off. Mom had a key to Mrs. Mueller’s house. That evening, we carried the tree next door and set it up on a table in the living room.
The next day, when Mrs. Mueller’s car turned into her driveway, we hurried over to welcome her back. We followed as she slowly made her way into the house and turned on the lights. The moment she saw the tree, she wore a look of surprise. Then, a sweet smile appeared, tears filling her eyes. She turned to us and softly said, “Thank you.” My parents had told us that making others happy would bring us more true joy than a pile of presents under the tree ever could. One of the happiest Christmases I recall is the one when we got a tree for Mrs. Mueller.

Many years later it dawned on me that we might have had more help with our scheme than we realized. While Miss O’Keefe had announced my name, she never showed anyone what was written on that piece of paper. I was blessed with kindness when trying to offer.

“You should get a cat,” my doctor said. “A cat?” I couldn’t even look after myself! I took a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline (猫科的) friend into my life.
Adopting an animal during the height of the pandemic was far from easy. When my partner and I found Cinnamon, her adoption information made her out as the perfect kitten. We filled out the paperwork and had a few weeks to prepare for her arrival.
When she came home, it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didn’t understand “no”, “stop it” or “don’t do that”. She was the worst cat I’ve ever owned. I was beginning to doubt my doctor’s advice. We decided to start taking her for walks. I could hardly leave the house before, but my heart couldn’t say no to Cinnamon. Cinnamon showed me what bravery looked like. If there was a dog at a park, she would run toward it. She jumped without knowing where she would land. She loved adventure. I found myself mirroring her behavior after a while, jumping out of bed without a second thought. I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident, leaving a cat-sized hole in my heart the day she left us at only six months old. I’m no stranger to sadness or grief, but losing my pet so suddenly was the most confusing emotional experience I’ve ever had. She was supposed to help me through more of my life than the three short months we had her. She no longer wakes me up at 5 a.m. begging for breakfast, but she is still the reason I get up every morning.
Our time is often cut unpredictably, unmistakably short. It would be a shame to live life being anything less than brave and adventurous.
4. How did the author feel originally when advised to adopt a cat?
A. Thrilled. B. Ashamed. C. Shocked. D. Relieved.
5. Why did the author doubt the doctor’s advice in the beginning?
A. Because the author was too ill to look after the cat.
B. Because the pandemic made it impossible to keep a cat at home.
C. Because the author’s family didn’t approve of the plan.
D. Because raising the cat was challenging for the author.
6. Which of the following best describes the cat Cinnamon?
A. Stupid but adorable. B. Naughty and adventurous.
C. Inactive but courageous. D. Fierce and aggressive.
7. What message does the story convey?
A. Friendship with pets is short. B. The short life is predictable.
C. The loss of a pet is painful. D. The courage to take risks is beneficial.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D

You might see loneliness as someone (usually an old person) sits alone, staring into the distance or out of a window. Such images are deceptive. Researchers have actually found that those who report experiencing loneliness the most are young people, and such images of solitude (孤独) don’t match the experience of loneliness during youth. Those years are typically spent surrounded by other people, at school or at work.
Loneliness during youth can be defined as a negative feeling about a difference between the relationships we have and those we want. This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we don’t feel they understand us or share common interests with us. Although loneliness is often a difficult experience, it can help us to reconnect and to rethink our relationships so that we can build (or seek out) the ones that mean the most to us.
There are certain features of youth that tend to give rise to loneliness. In youth, our friendships are increasingly important in providing us with emotional support. Research shows that young people have higher expectations of their friendships than adults do; they show a preference for larger friend groups, more companionship and higher frequency of contact with friends. When we consider that loneliness serves the function of keeping us safe within our social world, it makes sense that the feeling like we do not “fit in”, as so many young people feel, gives rise to loneliness. Another reason is our developing sense of self-discovering who we are. That often means changes to values or beliefs. It can be challenging when your friends are going through the same process, but might not follow the same path as you. Young people often report feeling lonely at school, while home is a comfortable space. But when there are difficulties at home — such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive family members — these can make the feeling of loneliness worse.
If you find yourself feeling lonely and it seems like nothing is helping, do not give up hope. It is likely that you have not yet found the strategy that works for you. Here are some practical steps you can try, starting with what you can do on your own and moving on to ways to connect with others.
8. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deceptive” in paragraph 1?
A. irrelevant B. disgraceful C. misleading D. unfortunate
9. What does loneliness of young people usually refer to?
A. Not having a preference for dealing with tough things alone.
B. Not having friends or family for company when in trouble.
C. Not having interest in others’ school life within the social world.
D. Not having positive attitude to the present relationships with others.
10. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason of young people’s loneliness?
A. Discovery of self-identity. B. Desire for more friends.
C. Difficulties at home. D. Unfamiliar environments.
11. What will the text probably talk about next?
A. Suggestions on how to beat loneliness.
B. More reasons that cause the feeling of loneliness.
C. Strategies to deal with the arguments or tension in family.
D. Ways to face the departure of supportive family members.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是什么是青年时期的孤独及导致它的原因。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Researchers have actually found that those who report experiencing loneliness the most are young people, and such images of solitude (孤独) don’t match the experience of loneliness during youth. Those years are typically spent surrounded by other people, at school or at work.(研究人员实际上发现，那些报告孤独感最多的人是年轻人，而这种孤独的形象与青年时期的孤独感并不相符。那些年通常是在学校或工作中被其他人包围的)”可知，第一段开头所描绘的“You might see loneliness as someone (usually an old person) sits alone, staring into the distance or out of a window.(当一个人（通常是老人）独自坐着，凝视远方或窗外时，你可能会看到孤独)”的画面是假的，是有欺骗性的，因此deceptive的意思是“有欺骗性的，具有误导性的”，和misleading意思相近，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Loneliness during youth can be defined as a negative feeling about a difference between the relationships we have and those we want. This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we don’t feel they understand us or share common interests with us.(青年时期的孤独可以被定义为一种对我们现有的关系和我们想要的关系之间的差异的消极感觉。这意味着如果我们觉得别人不理解我们或与我们有共同的兴趣，我们可能会感到孤独)”可知，年轻人的孤独通常指的是对目前与他人的关系没有积极的态度。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Research shows that young people have higher expectations of their friendships than adults do; they show a preference for larger friend groups, more companionship and higher frequency of contact with friends. When we consider that loneliness serves the function of keeping us safe within our social world, it makes sense that the feeling like we do not “fit in”, as so many young people feel, gives rise to loneliness.(研究表明，年轻人对友谊的期望高于成年人；他们倾向于更大的朋友群体，更多的陪伴和更高频率的与朋友联系。虽然我们认为孤独在我们的社会世界中起着保证我们安全的作用，但不“融入”的感觉导致孤独是有道理，正如许多年轻人所感受到的那样)”，“Another reason is our developing sense of self-discovering who we are.(另一个原因是我们不断发展的自我发现意识)”和“But when there are difficulties at home — such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive family members — these can make the feeling of loneliness worse.(但是，当家里出现困难时——比如与家庭成员的争吵或紧张关系，以及支持你的家庭成员的离开——这些都会使孤独感恶化)”可知，年轻人孤独的原因包括自我认同的发现，渴望更多的朋友和家里的困难。D选项“不熟悉的环境”文章没有提到，故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Here are some practical steps you can try, starting with what you can do on your own and moving on to ways to connect with others.(这里有一些你可以尝试的实际步骤，从你自己能做的开始，然后再到与他人联系的方法)”推知，接下来可能会讲战胜孤独的建议，故选A。
D
About one-third of adults globally have high blood pressure, which increases the risk of having a heart attack or stroke (中风). Physical activity is known to lower blood pressure. However, many people have trouble keeping to exercise plans.
Yoga tends to be more sustainable (可持续的) than other forms of exercise because it is gentle, can be done with others and helps to relax the mind. Several experiments have found that yoga lowers blood pressure. However, these experiments have typically involved several sessions a week, which may not be achievable for many people.
To find out if yoga helps to reduce blood pressure in the real world, some researchers conducted a new study and analysed the electronic health records of 1,355 people aged 18 to 79 who practised yoga at least once a week. They compared each of these people with at least three other individuals. They had similar characteristics in terms of things like age, gender, and body mass index (BMI), but had no mention of practising yoga in their records. On average, the people who practised yoga had systolic blood pressure (收缩压) that was 2.8 mmHg lower and diastolic blood pressure (舒张压) that was 1.5 mmHg lower than those who didn’t.
This blood pressure reduction probably wouldn’t make a huge difference to most people in the study, since they tended to be young and healthy. They already had normal blood pressure. But at a population level, if average blood pressure declined by this much, it would prevent a significant number of heart attacks and strokes. For example, a 2018 study found that a population-wide average systolic blood pressure reduction of 2 mmHg among middle-aged adults in the US would prevent more than 12,000 heart attacks and 7,000 strokes each year.
Based on the new study, we can’t say for sure that yoga lowers blood pressure, because there may be other explanations for the findings. People who do yoga may have lower blood pressure because they tend to have better diets, not because of the yoga itself. And yoga shouldn’t be seen as the replacement for blood pressure lowering medicines. Nevertheless, yoga is likely to assist in lowering blood pressure if it encourages sedentary (久坐的) people to exercise. “The greatest benefit is getting the exercise-shy to do something rather than increasing exercise in someone who does it regularly,” an expert says.
12. Which advantage does yoga have over other kinds of exercise?
A. It is easier for beginners to learn. B. It is more effective in keeping fit.
C. People are more likely to stick to it. D. People can find partners more easily.
13. Which of the following can be inferred from the new study?
A. The study took the relevant factors in reality into consideration.
B. All these participants were of the same age and gender.
C. The study analysed different kinds of exercise.
D The researchers studied the participants’ daily routine.
14 What does the author want to show by the example in paragraph 4?
A. The results are far from satisfactory.
B. Lowering blood pressure is quite easy.
C. Blood pressure reduction is beneficial.
D. Doing yoga once a week is meaningful.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Other reasons have been found to explain the blood pressure reduction for certain.
B. Encouraging inactive people to do yoga possibly contributes to lowering blood pressure.
C. Having better diets is more important than practising yoga regularly for sedentary people.
D. The benefits of practising yoga are equal to taking blood pressure lowering medicines.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明练习瑜伽可能有助于降低血压，从而有可能减少心脏病和中风危险。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Yoga tends to be more sustainable (可持续的) than other forms of exercise because it is gentle, can be done with others and helps to relax the mind. Several experiments have found that yoga lowers blood pressure.(瑜伽往往比其他形式的运动更可持续，因为它是温和的，可以和别人一起做，有助于放松思想。一些实验发现，瑜伽可以降低血压)”可知，瑜伽比其它形式的锻炼更容易坚持因为它是温和的，可以和别人一起做，有助于放松思想。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“To find out if yoga helps to reduce blood pressure in the real world, some researchers conducted a new study and analysed the electronic health records of 1,355 people aged 18 to 79 who practised yoga at least once a week.

【14题详解】
推理判断题。倒数第二段的“This blood pressure reduction probably wouldn’t make a huge difference to most people in the study, since they tended to be young and healthy. They already had normal blood pressure. But at a population level, if average blood pressure declined by this much, it would prevent a significant number of heart attacks and strokes.( 这种血压降低对研究中的大多数人来说可能不会有太大的影响，因为他们往往是年轻健康的。他们的血压已经正常了。但在人口水平上，如果平均血压下降这么多，就能预防大量心脏病发作和中风)”讲述了血压下降相对于个体可能没有太大影响，但是在人口水平上，却能够预防大量心脏病和中风，接下来讲述了例子“For example, a 2018 study found that a population-wide average systolic blood pressure reduction of 2 mmHg among middle-aged adults in the US would prevent more than 12,000 heart attacks and 7,000 strokes each year.(例如，2018年的一项研究发现，在美国中年人中，平均收缩压降低2毫米汞柱，每年可以预防12,000多次心脏病发作和7,000多次中风)”，由此推知，这个例子是用来说明血压降低的益处的。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Nevertheless, yoga is likely to assist in lowering blood pressure if it encourages sedentary (久坐的) people to exercise.(然而，如果瑜伽鼓励久坐不动的人运动，它可能有助于降低血压)”可知，鼓励不爱运动的人做瑜伽可能有助于降低血压。故选B。
第二节： (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The idea that red means stop and green means go affects more than just traffic light colors. We have been taught from a young age that red means danger, while green means safety. ___16___For something we have to look at every day, why couldn’t they have been prettier colors? You’re about to find out.
Before there were traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railroad companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go and green to mean caution. But train conductors ran into a problem with the color white meaning go — bright white could easily be mistaken for stars at night. ___17___ It has been that way ever since.
___18___ That means that as it travels through the air, it gets diffused (分散) less than other colors, so it can be seen from a greater distance. For example, think about how the light turns red as the sun sets. Even though the human eye is most sensitive to a yellowish-green highlighter color, it can see red from further away. But this could happen by chance. It’s not clear whether that was chosen based on wavelength, contrast against green nature or natural connection of red with things like blood. ___19___
Yellow has a shorter wavelength than red but a longer wavelength than green. This means that red is noticeable the furthest away, yellow in the middle and green the least distance away — a helpful advanced warning for needing to slow or stop.
However, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. ___20___ Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school areas, some traffic signs and school buses continue to be painted the color. Keep these safe driving tips in the back of your mind whenever you see a yellow light.
A. Railway companies eventually moved to the color green for go.
B. It could be a mix of all three!
C. But why were those particular colors chosen for traffic lights?
D. Employ these driving rules and know that traffic lights have certainly come a long way.
E. Red is the color with the longest wavelength.
F. When you’re impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don’t get mad.
G. Eventually, highly reflective materials were developed, and red stop signs were born.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. E 19. B 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是为什么要用红色表示停止，绿色表示通行。
【16题详解】
空前说“We have been taught from a young age that red means danger, while green means safety.(我们从小就被教导红色代表危险，绿色代表安全。)”，空后说“For something we have to look at every day, why couldn’t they have been prettier colors? You’re about to find out.(对于我们每天都要看的东西来说，为什么它们不能有更漂亮的颜色呢？你马上就知道了。)”，因此空格处应该提出疑问，为什么非要用这红色代表危险，绿色代表安全，C选项“But why were those particular colors chosen for traffic lights?(但是为什么选择这些特定的颜色作为交通灯呢？)”引出下文的解释，因此C选项承上启下，符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
空前说“But train conductors ran into a problem with the color white meaning go — bright white could easily be mistaken for stars at night.(但是火车售票员遇到了一个问题，白色的意思是“走”——明亮的白色很容易被误认为是夜晚的星星。)”，空后说“It has been that way ever since.(从那以后就一直是这样。)”，根据常识可知，现在是用绿色表示通行，因此空格处应该说铁路公司改为用绿色代表通行，A选项“Railway companies eventually moved to the color green for go.(铁路公司最终改用绿色代表通行。)”符合语境，故选A。
【18题详解】
空后说“That means that as it travels through the air, it gets diffused (分散) less than other colors, so it can be seen from a greater distance. For example, think about how the light turns red as the sun sets. Even though the human eye is most sensitive to a yellowish-green highlighter color, it can see red from further away.(这意味着当它在空气中传播时，它比其他颜色扩散得更少，所以它可以从更远的地方看到。例如，想想太阳下山时光线是如何变红的。尽管人类的眼睛对黄绿色荧光最敏感，但它可以在更远的地方看到红色。)”，说明本段主要介绍的是红色，E选项“Red is the color with the longest wavelength.(红色是波长最长的颜色。)”描述的是红色，因此符合语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
空前说“It’s not clear whether that was chosen based on wavelength, contrast against green nature or natural connection of red with things like blood.(目前尚不清楚这种选择是基于波长、与绿色的对比还是与血液等物质的自然联系。)”，既然尚不清楚，那就说明可能这几种都有，B选项“It could be a mix of all three!(它可能是三者的混合！)”说明了空前描述的这几种情况可能都有，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选B。
【20题详解】
空前说“However, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area.(然而，信不信由你，黄色曾经被用来表示停止。早在20世纪初，一些停车标志是黄色的，因为在光线不足的地区很难看到红色标志。)”，空格处应该解释后来为什么又出现了红色标志，G选项“Eventually, highly reflective materials were developed, and red stop signs were born.(最终，高反射材料被开发出来，红色停车标志诞生了。)”说明了红色停车标志是如何诞生的，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述中国科幻电影探索道路正在令人兴奋地越走越远。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：三年前，中国科幻电影产业经历了一段艰难时期。根据空后“a hard time”可知，此处考查固定短语go through，意为“经历”。故填through。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：最终，它以46.86亿的票房排名中国票房历史第五，这使得它成为中国科幻电影的分水岭，中国观众对中国科幻电影的期望再次高涨。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面主句的内容，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意同上。结合空前的audiences’可知，空处应填名词作主语，expectation期望，可数名词，由were可知应用名词复数作主语。故填expectations。
【39题详解】
考查代词。句意：科幻片的拍摄不同于其他电影类型，成百上千人的团队不可能在多个区域反复移动拍摄。根据句意及空后的“of other film types”可知，此处指“其他类型电影的拍摄”，指上文提到的同类异物，且指代不可数名词，应用代词that。故填that。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。空处修饰动词短语move around，应用副词形式。故填repeatedly。
【41题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：以电影Moon Man为例，其95%的镜头涉及特效，剧组在东方电影城使用了15个摄影棚，总面积超过4万平方米，整个团队花了半年多的时间来建造。此处是“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构，动词take和宾语the entire team之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填taking。
【42题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：为了制造真实效果，剧组人员甚至在工作室里铺设了200吨沙子和砾石来模拟月球尘埃，并建造了一个“真正的”月球基地。结合上文可知，此处是描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填laid。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意同上。结合句意可知，此处表示目的，应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to imitate。
【44题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：不难发现，中国科幻电影探索的道路正在令人兴奋地越走越远。根据“of Chinese sci-fi film exploration”可知，此处特指“中国科幻电影探索的道路”，应用定冠词。故填the。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：但我们可以相信，在中国电影人的不断努力下，未来中国科幻电影的萌芽时代是值得期待的。空处应填形容词作定语，修饰名词efforts，continuous/continual/continuing“连续的，持续的”，形容词，均符合题意。故填continuous/continual/continuing。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The photograph of Mrs. Mueller that I took with my camera captures her seated on the sofa in our living room, smiling shyly. Mrs. Mueller was our next-door neighbor. My sister Laurel and I got to know her after her husband died. She didn’t have children of her own and no relatives that we knew of. She was gentle and kind, and we considered her our special friend.
Early one December, Mrs. Mueller went into the hospital. Laurel and I were busy making Christmas presents, and we pondered (琢磨) what to make for Mrs. Mueller. It dawned on us that she would be coming home a few days before Christmas to an empty house with no holiday decorations. We lit upon the idea of decorating a small tree that would greet her with lights and cheer. We were wondering how to carry out our plan when the answer appeared.
I was in Miss O’Keefe’s sixth grade class that year, and we had decorated a small tree with paper-link chains and ornaments (装饰品). It was beautiful. Best of all, it had to be removed from the classroom before Christmas vacation. Miss O’Keefe said there would be a drawing (抽签) for the tree. We would each write our name on a piece of paper and put it in the shoebox she had decorated. On the last day of school before vacation, she would draw a name, and that student could take home the tree.
After I put my folded piece of paper into the box, I closed my eyes and clasped my hands, praying quietly. Miss O’Keefe noticed me and asked, “Holly, why were you praying just now?“ I told her Mrs. Mueller’s story and our wish to make her happy. “Good luck!” Miss O’Keefe said with a smile. After school, I was beside myself with excitement! My mother pointed out there were 30 children who might win the tree, but I was certain I would get it because God would definitely hear my sincere prayer.
The day before vacation finally arrived. Laurel and I usually walked to and from school, but I was so sure I would win the tree that I persuaded Mom to pick us up in the car that day.
注意 ：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Late that afternoon, Miss O’Keefe announced it was time for the drawing.

The next day, when Mrs. Mueller’s car turned into her driveway, we hurried over to welcome her back.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】读后续写范文一：
Late that afternoon, Miss O’Keefe announced it was time for the drawing. My heart pounded. I held my breath as she took the lid off the shoebox, closed her eyes, swirled her hand around in the box of folded pieces of paper, and drew one out. She opened her eyes, unfolded the paper, looked at it, and proclaimed, “Holly has won the tree.” I was ecstatic! After school, some of my classmates carried it to our car and put it into the trunk carefully so the ornaments wouldn’t get knocked off. Mom had a key to Mrs. Mueller’s house. That evening, we carried the tree next door and set it up on a table in the living room.
The next day, when Mrs. Mueller’s car turned into her driveway, we hurried over to welcome her back. We followed as she slowly made her way into the house and turned on the lights. The moment she saw the tree, she wore a look of surprise. Then, a sweet smile appeared, tears filling her eyes. She turned to us and softly said, “Thank you.” My parents had told us that making others happy would bring us more true joy than a pile of presents under the tree ever could. One of the happiest Christmases I recall is the one when we got a tree for Mrs. Mueller.

Many years later it dawned on me that we might have had more help with our scheme than we realized. While Miss O’Keefe had announced my name, she never showed anyone what was written on that piece of paper. I was blessed with kindness when trying to offer.
