For those who have never been to Harbin, there's almost an endless list of things to do. Here are several activities that have to be included.

Turning water into instant ice

One can't go to the Ice­Snow World without stopping by the Sun Island Snow Expo. After all, the former is for appreciating illuminated(照亮的) ice at night, and the latter is for checking out snow in the daytime. Tourists from the south might be astonished by the bright sunshine reflected in the snow, so don't forget the sunscreen.

This is also a good place to toss water and watch it turn into ice instantly. Find a safe place with no one nearby, and enjoy the unique phenomenon.

Snow tubing(雪地滑轮胎) on the Songhua River

In winter, the Songhua River turns into “thousands of miles of ice” and becomes a natural ice­skating rink. The frozen river offers opportunities for many different winter activities. But make sure the ice is solid before going stomping(跺脚) in the snow.

Speeding down Yabuli Ski Resort

One place you shouldn't miss when visiting Harbin is Yabuli Ski Resort, where you can ski down splendid snow­covered mountains. The snow is thick and moderately hard. There are junior, middle and senior ski runs. Professional staff are available to improve your skiing ability.

(　　)21. Which is a good place to enjoy a night scene?

A. The Songhua River.    B. The Ice­Snow World.

C. Yabuli Ski Resort.    D. The Sun Island Snow Expo.

(　　)22. What can visitors do in Harbin?

A. Get professional guidance for free while skating.

B. Choose different routes based on their skiing ability.

C. Go down the world's longest ice slide on Songhua River.

D. Toss water and watch it turn into ice wherever you want.

(　　)23. In which column of a magazine can we find this article?

A. Travel.    B. Health.    C. Entertainment    D. Business.

B

Dry eye—a condition that occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears, the tears don't work correctly, or they evaporate(蒸发) too quickly—is much more than a bother. “The burning can feel like sand is in your eyes, and this can cause eye tiredness, light sensitivity, and blurry vision，” says Angela Bevels, a doctor in Tucson, Arizona.

Nearly 16 million Americans may have dry eye, according to the National Eye Institute. Anyone can develop the problem, but it's more common in women and people over 50.

Sometimes dry eye is a temporary condition caused by a variety of irritants(刺激物). But it can be constant, too, when caused by immune system diseases. Skin issues on or around the eyelids and diseases of the glands(腺) in the eyelids are also common contributors. People who wear contact lenses(隐形眼镜) or have had eye surgeries are also at a higher risk.

Some lifestyle changes can minimize the discomfort. First, take frequent breaks from staring at computer and phone screens, which may cause tears to work overtime, according to Aditya Kanesa­thasan, MD, an eye doctor at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia.

Turn off fans or other direct air to your face, as this can increase the evaporative loss of tears as well, he says. Eight to ten glasses of water every day can also play a role in keeping your eyes lubricated(润滑的).

Over­the­counter eye drops can help ease symptoms. But when these solutions don't provide relief or you find you're using drops more than six times a day, it's time to see an eye doctor for treatments.

(　　)24. What do we know about dry eye according to passage?

A. It is a temporary condition.

B. It is caused by eye weakness.

C. It will make you unable to sense light.

D. It may be caused by immune system diseases.

(　　)25. Which group of people are more likely to have dry eye?

A. People under 50.    B. People with skin issues.

C. People wearing glasses.    D. People having done eye surgeries.

(　　)26. What should people with dry eye do?

A. Use eye drops more often.    B. Avoid using phones or computers.

C. Drink enough water every day.    D. Go to the doctor for eye surgeries.

(　　)27. What's the best title for the passage?

A. Coping with Dry Eye    B. Tips for Eye Health

C. Caring for Your Eyes    D. Causes of Dry Eye

C

As Covid­19 spread through the United States in the spring of 2020, previously busy cities fell silent. A new study shows that the dip in noise in the early months of the pandemic(大流行病) led to an increased abundance of birds in cities.

The flock to cities ranged “from birds like hawks and eagles all the way down to small songbirds and even hummingbirds，” says Michael Schrimpf, study co­author and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Manitoba's Natural Resources Institute.

To see if and how birds were using now­quiet cities differently, the team of researchers analyzed more than 4.3 million bird observations of more than 80 bird species recorded on the community science app eBird. They looked at more than three years of observations taken by experienced birders before and through the first few months of the pandemic.

Scientists found significant changes in birds' migration patterns and use of urban habitats(栖息地), like bravely getting closer to usually­noisy areas like roads and airports. It was also revealed that white­crowned sparrows adapted their tune when San Francisco streets fell quiet. Bird abundance increased in cities overall, especially during spring and fall migration.

North America has lost almost a third of its birds in recent decades due to a combination of factors, including climate change, predation(捕食) by stray cats, and habitat loss, so any information scientists can obtain about how to make urban environments more bird­friendly is significant. The study's authors note that one of the most remarkable findings is that many different birds benefited from a reduction in noise, which doesn't have to be limited to pandemic lockdowns.

“There is an opportunity to adjust how we live, to slow down，” says Schrimpf. “We hope that it might be a lesson for us that we can take away in a post­pandemic world.”

(　　)28. What does the underlined word “dip” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Decrease.    B. Increase.    C. Effect.    D. Change.

(　　)29. How did the researchers conduct the research?

A. By observing varieties of birds in nature.

B. By doing an experiment on different kinds of birds.

C. By analyzing bird observations recorded by birders.

D. By studying past researches on bird behavior.

(　　)30. What do the findings of the study indicate?

A. All birds benefited from the reduction in noise.

B. Some birds sang differently in a quieter environment.

C. Birds would often go to noisy areas like roads and airport.

D. The overall bird population increased worldwide during the pandemic.

(　　)31. What message does the author want to convey in this article?

A. People should slow down to appreciate birds in nature.

B. People should be banned from any activities harmful to nature.

C. People should adjust their lifestyle to stay safe during the pandemic.

D. People should reduce noise to create a better environment for birds.

D

Mariam was five years old the first time she heard the word harami.

It happened on a Thursday. It must have, because Mariam remembered that she had been restless(坐立不安的) that day, the way she was only on Thursdays, the day when Jalil visited her.

To pass the time until the moment that she would see him at last, Mariam had climbed a chair and taken down her mother's Chinese tea set. It was the only thing that Mariam's mother, Nana, had of her own mother, who had died when Nana was two. It was this last piece that slipped from Mariam's fingers, that fell to the ground and shattered.

When Nana saw the bowl, her face flushed red, her upper lip shivered, and her eyes settled on Mariam unblinkingly. Nana grabbed Mariam by the wrists, pulled her close, and, through gritted teeth, said, “You are a clumsy little harami.”

At the time, Mariam didn't know what this word meant. Nor was she old enough to appreciate the injustice, to see that it is the creators of the harami who are guilty, not the harami, whose only sin(罪过) is being born.

It was the way Nana uttered the word—not so much saying it as spitting it at her—that made Mariam feel the full sting of it. She understood then that a harami was an unwanted thing.

Jalil never called Mariam this name.

Jalil had three wives and nine children, all of whom were strangers to Mariam. He was one of Herat's wealthiest and best­connected men. He had a cook, a driver, and three housekeepers. Nana had been one of the housekeepers. Until her belly began to swell.

When Nana said something bad about Jalil, Mariam never dared tell her how much she disliked it. But the truth was that around Jalil, Mariam didn't feel at all like a harami. When Jalil came to see her, all smiles and gifts, Mariam felt deserving of all the beauty and bounty that life had to give. For this, Mariam loved Jalil.

EVEN IF SHE had to share him.

(　　)32. Why did Nana call Mariam a harami?

A. Because she met Jalil.

B. Because she broke the bowl.

C. Because she stole the Chinese tea set from Nana.

D. Because she climbed a chair and fell to the ground.

(　　)33. What can we know about Mariam according to the passage?

A. She liked her mother's Chinese tea set very much.

B. She didn't dare to tell Jalil she actually liked him.

C. She said something really bad to her mother in her face.

D. She was hurt by the way her mother called her harami.

(　　)34. How did Nana feel when calling Mariam harami?

A. Scared and dissatisfied.    B. Embarrassed and hurt.

C. Anxious and heartbroken.    D. Angry and frustrated.

(　　)35. What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?

A. Jalil actually loved Nana more than Mariam.

B. Mariam felt loved and content in Jalil's presence.

C. Mariam often hung out with her brothers and sisters.

D. Jalil was the wealthiest and best­connected man in Herat.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

I stood with my friends in a line. My heart was hammering like anything, my hands cold and wet, my head buzzing with excitement and nervousness at the same time. I earnestly listened to the names of the house captains(社长) being announced, but in my heart, I wanted it to end because then the head girl would be announced. I so wanted it to be me.

I had made countless posters, badges and bracelets for the campaigning. Instead of having lunch during the lunch time, I had gone from person to person, asking them to vote for me. I had shouted at the top of my lungs the slogan, “East or West, Maryam is the best! Vote for her and your year will be best.”

I had tried my hardest to convince people to vote for me, now all I had left was hope.

“Guess who the head girl for the year is？” teased the announcer.

A heavy silence fell, one that was full of hope and expectation, of fear and of nervousness.

The announcer teased for a minute or two before finally announcing the name of the head girl.

I felt confused as my friends pushed me out of the line. As I looked at the huge crowd clapping for me, I could not believe that I was the head girl of the school. The head of the council body. The student that was respected and liked by everybody.

From then on, I enjoyed the respect I got in and out of school. At home, my family members praised me and at school everyone looked up to me. They thought I was an inspiration as well as someone they could get motivated by. I had power. I could talk to the school principal and convince her to do anything. I could order around other council members and ask them to do anything.

But as days passed, I realized that with power comes responsibility.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

I was given countless responsibilities along with my studies.  ________________________________________________________________________

The principal listened attentively, her concern clearly written on her face. ________________________________________________________________________

第一节

One possible version：

Dear Sam，

I'm so sorry to hear you've met with some difficulties in learning Chinese. I can totally understand your feelings.

In my experience, firstly, you should develop an interest in learning Chinese, for interest is the best teacher. So I strongly recommend that you should watch Chinese TV programs. Besides, a language partner is of equal importance, with whom you can improve your Chinese through daily communication.

Cheer up! I'm sure you'll deal with all the challenges if you find proper ways.

Best wishes!

Yours，

Li Hua

第二节

One possible version：

Iwasgivencountlessresponsibilitiesalongwithmystudies. I had to check students' uniform, keep an alert mind for bullies, and maintain order when students queue up for meals. My energy and the excitement drained out of me as I realized that with a position comes burden. As a result, my marks dropped dramatically and I eventually broke down. One day, I found myself in the principal's office, telling her with deep sorrow that I could no longer be the head girl.

Theprincipallistenedattentively, herconcernclearlywrittenonherface.  She put her hand on my shoulder and expressed her understanding. She suggested I turn to the former head girl and find some assistants. I was doubtful at first, but my doubts vanished as the suggestions proved very helpful. Now I felt I would be able to do this and at the same time ace at my studies. When you ask for power, you should be prepared to accept the responsibilities that come with it too.
