What inspires(鼓舞) you to work hard? Having your own goals is important. Good sleep also helps. But as it turns out, having a plant on your desk can improve your work as well.
Mike Robinson, an engineer from Canada, owns his own small company. One day, his wife suggested picking out some plants and putting them on his workers’ desks.
Robinsondoubtedthe idea at first. What good would plants do? He thought they might even be distracting(让人分心的). But he decided to try out the idea.
First, Robinson bought 20 plants for his workers. He asked each worker to make a small sign that said “My nameis ______” and write their own names on the sign. Then, each worker put the sign on the plant he chose and took it back to his own desk.
To his surprise,Robinson found that his workers were working much harder and getting along much better than before.
It could be because his workers formed “friendship” with their plants. They would take good care of them, and in turn, take good care of their work. Plants can help to create a relaxing atmosphere(氛围) as well.
What about you? Does your classroom have any plants? If not, you might want to ask your teacher about this. You and your classmates could take turns to take care of some plants in your classroom. It could be a nice way to make your classroom more lively and get to know your classmates even better.

Recently, short videos have got millions of views online. Many people make and share short videos on popular video apps like Tik Tok and Kuaishou. You can even add music and special effects(特效)to your videos. The videos are a few seconds or minutes long. They show people who are doing activities like cooking, exercising and singing.
Teenagers especially enjoy these videos. More than 50% of high school students say they enjoy watching these short videos. About 47% have posted(发布)their own videos, according to a report by China National Youth Palace Association.
The videos let young people see funny and exciting things they can’t usually see. Many young people like to share the fun things they do with others.
However, the videos can also cause trouble. Some students spend too much time watching them, so they don’t have enough time to study. Some videos have a bad effect on young people. So Tik Tok added a new function(功能)in April. It may lock the app if someone uses the app for over two hours a day. In the same month, the government also did something to stop young people using this app too much.
66. What can young people add to their short videos with these apps?

二. 单项填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：不仅你而且这里的每个人都喜欢看足球比赛。
考查动词时态和就近原则。not only…but also…意为“不仅……而且……”，连接两个主语时，谓语动词实行就近原则；句子是一般现在时，就近主语“everyone”是第三人称单数形式，故动词应用单三式。故选A。
22. My cousin dances ________ , if not better than, my aunt.
A. as beautiful as B. as beautifully as C. so beautifully as D. not so beautiful as
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：我表妹的舞即使不比我姑姑跳得好，至少也和她跳得一样美。
考查副词原级比较。as...as和……一样……；not so...as...不如……那样……；beautiful美丽的，形容词；beautifully美好地，副词。根据“if not better than, my aunt”可知，这里表示让步关系，所以空处指和她跳得一样好，修饰动词dances用副词，故选B。
23. Shanghai is bigger than ________ in Jiangsu and bigger than ________ in China.
A. any city; any other city B. any cities; any cities
C. any other city; the other cities D. any other city; any city
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：上海比江苏的任何城市都大，比中国的任何其他城市都大。
考查不定代词和比较级。any“任何的”，用于不同范围的比较；any other“任何其他的”，用于相同范围的比较；两者后都跟单数名词。the other+名词复数=the others“其余的（表示在一个范围内的其他全部）”。第一空因为上海不在江苏范围内，填any city；第二空因为上海在中国范围内，要排除自己，填any other city。故选A。
24. — Shall we join the Singing Club together, Cindy?
—I’d like to, but I just have no ________ of music.
A. interest B. voice C. sense D. luck
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：——辛迪，我们一起去参加唱歌俱乐部好吗？——我很想去，但我没有音乐感。
考查名词词义辨析。interest兴趣；voice嗓音；sense感觉；luck运气。辛迪很想去参加唱歌俱乐部，但是她的乐感不好。“没有乐感”可以用“have no sense of music”来表示。故选C。
25. — Isn’t that film so boring? I nearly fell asleep.
— ________. You can learn many useful skills from it.
A. Yes, you are right B. I’m afraid so C. Not at all D. Of course
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：——那部电影不是很无聊吗？我几乎睡着了。——根本不是。你可以从中学到很多有用的技能。
考查情景交际。Yes, you are right是的，你是对的；I’m afraid so恐怕如此；Not at all根本不是；Of course当然。根据说话人的回答“You can learn many useful skills from it.”可知，两人观点不一致。故选C。
三. 完型填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
A businessman was deep in debt (负债) and could see no way out. He sat under a tree in the park and didn’t know ___26___ to do.

everything一切；something某物；anything任何东西；nothing没什么。根据文中“he decided to put the check in a special place. Just knowing it was there would be great, he thought.”可知，此处把钱放到保险箱，开始白手起家，故选D。
【32题详解】
句意：一年后，他带着支票回到公园。
hospital医院；park公园；bank银行；company公司。根据“He sat under a tree in the park and didn’t know…to do.”可知，他回到公园，去见那位给他支票的老人。故选B。
【33题详解】
句意：一个护士走了过来，把那个人带走。
businessman商人；doctor医生；woman女人；man男人。根据“The old man was there. But just as the businessman was about to hand over the check”可知，此处是护士把那位老人带走了，故选D。
【34题详解】
句意：商人只是站在那里，大吃一惊。
surprising令人惊讶的；surprised吃惊的；worried担心的；interested感兴趣的。根据文中“The nurse said the old man was ill and was always telling people he was John D. Rockefeller.”可知，商人很吃惊。故选B。
【35题详解】
