My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it. By chance, a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.

We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options. There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world, but we tried our luck, sent a request, and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada, so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.

Inspired by a Canadian couple, we decided to start our own travel blog. We began by writing about The Virgin Islands, highlighting the beautiful beaches. However, for every photo album of a beautiful beach, there were 10 photos of trash (垃圾). It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue, especially on such primitive and remote beaches. So, we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.

The more we looked into plastic pollution, the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution. From that point, we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free. We changed our daily routines, our way of living, and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.

It’s been over three years now and we continue to do what we can. This journey has led us to some amazing places, working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.

Our aim now is to keep on going. We love connecting with like-minded people. It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting. Who would have guessed?

4．Why did the author do pet sitting?

A．To raise fund. B．To protect the environment.

C．To cover travel expenses. D．To shoot beautiful beaches.

5．What does the author intend to convey through her story?

A．Pet sitting is a new type of occupation.

B．The Caribbean is an ideal travel destination.

C．Travel blog is a superb way to gain popularity.

D．Action should be taken to fight plastic pollution.

6．How did the author find her experience in the Caribbean?

A．Significant. B．Challenging.

C．Adventurous. D．Dreadful.

7．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Changing Lifestyles by Pet Sitting

B．Unexpected Gains from Pet Sitting Travel

C．Dealing with Global Environment Pollution

D．The Availability of Pet Sitting in the Caribbean

People often call music a universal language, but do certain songs really cause the same mental images in our minds? Scientists at Princeton find that while music absolutely can stimulate(激发)similar mental experiences, the results also strongly suggest culture is a major factor.

A total of 622 people took part in the study. All of the volunteers came from one of three locations: two suburban college towns in the US (one in Arkansas and the other in Michigan), or the rural Chinese village of Dimen. It’s worth noting that the main language in Dimen is Dong, a tonal language unrelated to the official language of China. Locals there have little contact with Western media or culture at all. All participants listened to the exact same 32 “musical stimuli”— which were 60-second cuts of instrumental music. Half of these pieces came from Western music while the rest came from Chinese music.

After hearing, researchers asked the groups about the images they saw in their heads while listening. Incredibly, people from Arkansas and Michigan often described very similar stories, even using the exact same words frequently. Dimen listeners, on the other hand, envisioned stories that were similar to each other but quite different from the American listeners. More specifically, one track led t o Americans seeing a cowboy in the hot desert surveying an empty town. Meanwhile, Chinese participants imagined a man in ancient times reflecting on the loss of a loved one.

“There’s something about the results that’s really surprising, especially because people encounter music in 2022 often in a solitary way, over headphones. But it turns out, it’s still a shared experience, almost like a shred dream, although not universally shared, ”says Elizabeth Margulis, the study author.

The results paint a more complex picture of music’s power. Music can generate remarkably similar stories in listeners’ minds, but it depends on a common set of cultural experiences. So while we imagine music can bring people together, the opposite can also be true-it can distinguish between sets of people with a different background or culture.

8．What is the probable reason for Dimen being selected for the study?

A．Its unique cultural background. B．Its close contact with US.

C．Its complex language system. D．Its long tradition of music.

9．What were the participants required to do after listening to music?

A．Exchange their comments on the scene.

B．Imagine musicians’ original inspiration.

C．Describe the picture forming in mind.

D．Recall personal music-related stories.

10．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 4?

A．Strange. B．Individual. C．Outdated. D．Polite.

11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Unbelievable? Music’s Effects Go beyond Cultures

B．Problem Solved! How Music Brings Us All Together

C．Amazing! Cultures Determine Our Preference for Music

D．Universal Language? Culture Matters When We Hear Music

D

Research shows students learn better when they’re well nourished. Healthy eating has been linked to higher grades, better memory, faster information processing and improved health leading to better school attendance, according to registered dietitian Elisa Zied, author of Feed Your Family Right. On the contrary, unhealthy eating habits can negatively affect learning. Researchers have studied many areas related to eating and learning.

Skipping breakfast can have a negative impact on learning. A higher percentage of breakfast eaters passed a biology exam in one study of college students. It’s also important to eat a high-quality breakfast. In a study of students between the ages of twelve and thirteen, the average mark increased as breakfast quality improved.

Even with breakfast, the brain can run out of fuel before lunch. In one study of students between the ages of seven and nine, having a mid-morning snack improved memory. The children who ate a smaller breakfast and lunch but consumed a mid-morning snack experienced a smaller decline in immediate and delayed memory. Attention wasn’t affected, however. Zied recommends yogurt with blueberries; this fruit has been proven to be linked to better memory in studies. A hard-boiled egg is also a good snack choice.

Kids who eat healthily are more likely to attend school. Without proper nutrition and adequate calories, students often don’t have enough energy to power the brain, resulting in tiredness and learning problems. In fact, alertness (机敏) improved significantly in students eating breakfast in one study of high school students published in the journal Pediatrics.

A study of public school students published in the Journal of School Health linked high intake of sweetened drinks, such as sugary sodas, to lower scores in math tests. A diet high in junk food and sugary sodas is also linked to childhood obesity, which could result in lower cognitive (认知的) functioning, according to the Yale University research. On the other hand, students with healthy eating habits are less likely to be overweight and more likely to learn well.

12．What is an effective way for students to improve their memory?

A．Eating a big lunch on a regular basis. B．Staying away from junk food in daily life.

C．Eating something healthy at about 10: 00 am. D．Adding yogurt with strawberries to their daily diet.

13．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A．Students will have better attendance at school after eating healthily.

B．Students will have a good performance as long as they are well fed.

C．A high-quality breakfast will make a difference to students’ learning.

D．Every student has a strong awareness of eating breakfast.

14．What would happen to students who eat much junk food?

A．They would become less confident at school. B．They would grow too overweight to work out.

C．They would become unwilling to attend school. D．They would fall behind other students at school.

15．What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The advantages of healthy eating habits. B．The impacts of eating habits on students’ learning.

C．Some suggestions on how to learn better. D．The link between diets and health.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Weighing yourself regularly is a wonderful way to stay aware of any significant weight changes. ____16____

As for me, weighing myself every day caused me to shift my focus from being generally healthy and physically active, to focusing only on the scale. The original training program is beneficial for me to develop muscle. ____17____  However, thinking only of lowering the number on the scale, I changed my training program.

I found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate description of the hard work and progress I was making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice significant changes in your weight due to changing your training program. The most immediate changes will be observed in skill level, strength and inches lost. ____18____ Instead, I switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule. Weighing every other month allows me to observe and account for any significant weight changes. ____19____ I use my bimonthly weigh-in results to get information about my nutrition as well. If my training intensity remains the same, but I’m constantly hungry and dropping weight, this is a sign that I need to increase my daily caloric intake.

____20____ I’m experiencing increased passion for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a disappointing morning weigh-in. I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, because I’m training according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale.

Rather than obsessing over the scale, turn your focus to how you look, feel, how your clothes fit and your overall energy level.

A．That was bad to my overall fitness goals.

B．Muscles rely on more than just activity to grow.

C．I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass before.

D．For these reasons, I stopped weighing myself every day.

E．That tells me whether I need to adjust my training program.

F．The decision to stop weighing myself every day has done a lot of wonders.

G．However, when done too often, this habit can sometimes hurt more than it helps.

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）

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 e-mail request came in to Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore on a Thursday in March: tempura broccoli (天妇罗西兰花) topped with fresh herbs, diced onion, and fermented cucumber vinegar (醋腌黄瓜)- with a twist. The man who sent the e-mail didn’t actually want the food itself. He was writing on behalf of his mother-in-law, who adored the dish. He explained that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.

Steve Chu, one of Ekiben restaurant’s co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied with an alternative suggestion. “Thanks for reaching out,” he wrote. “We’d like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you.”

Brandon Jones, the son-in-law, was shocked. “I e-mailed back, saying, ‘You do know that this is Vermont we’re talking about, right? It is an eight-hour drive,’” says Brandon. “But Chu responded, ‘No problem. You tell us the date, time, and location and we’ll be there.’”

For the past six years, every time Brandon’s mother-in-law visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could order that one dish. As for Chu, he also kept his loyal customer in memory. “She always stood out,” he says. “She loves the food and made sure to tell us. She’s an amazing, sweet lady.”

“She had always told us, ‘When I’m on my deathbed, I want to have that broccoli,’” recalls Brandon’s wife, Rina Jones.

That Friday after work, a day after receiving Brandon’s e-mail, Chu and his business partner, Abebe, loaded his truck with a hot plate and a cooler filled with ingredients (材料).

注意：

1. 写作词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

And then they headed for Vermont.

As soon as Rina opened the door, her mother recognized the smell.
