This year’s favorite books offer a mixture of advice on how to create a happier and more compassionate society through shifting our worldview and improving our social interactions.
Bittersweet
Writer Susan Cain describes bittersweet feelings as “a tendency to states of longing and sorrow and a curious joy at the beauty of the world”. Embracing these emotions can make our lives more meaningful. Such feelings can create motivation to reach a renewed sense of purpose. While sometimes unpleasant, they can spur spiritual growth and foster our connection with others.
Platonic
“Friendships are wrongly undervalued in our society,” writes psychologist Marisa Franco. It’s friendships that provide us with a great sense of belonging and happiness. Her book shows us how to go about it—by reaching out, offering affection and generosity. Franco gives practical guidance on how to manage psychological blocks to friendship, paving the way to deeper relationships.
Happier Hour
Many people feel they don’t have enough hours to do everything they’d like to do. But researcher Cassie Holmes shows why this attitude is wrong-headed. She encourages us to evaluate our current use of free time and how much pleasure we get from our activities. Then, she offers evidence-based tips on how to use time more wisely—by lessening technology use, developing relationships and experiencing gratitude.
The Secret Life of Secrets
Is keeping a secret a bad thing? In professor Michael Slepian’s book, “People don’t like to be alone with their thoughts, and having a secret can cause feelings of isolation and uncertainty.” Therefore, it’s probably good to find a different way to cope, like telling your trusting friends. Slepian offers tips on how to decide whether to keep or reveal a secret to avoid harming relationships.
1. What does Susan Cain try to convince us in her book?
A. Bitter feelings can change into sweet ones.
B. Unpleasant emotion blocks our mental growth.
C. Accepting sorrow and happiness makes us whole.
D. A sense of longing makes the beauty of the world.
2. Which book interests those who have trouble managing time?
A. Bittersweet. B. Platonic.
C. Happier Hour. D. The Secret Life of Secrets.
3. What aspect do Platonic and The Secret Life of Secrets both involve?
A. Pursuing wealth and health.
B. Reading to stop isolation of life.
C. Revealing a secret for stable friendship.
D. Developing interpersonal relationships.
B
Mercy Baggs is reflecting on her future. “Should I live to 95, I would do another parachute jump, ”she says. She first jumped when she was 77 in honor of her achievements as mayor of the Wiltshire town of Calne. Then she jumped again last March, a day before her 90th birthday, to raise funds for Wiltshire air ambulance.
“This is the thrill of it, ”she says. “You go up, and then that door opens and the wind starts to come through. You free-fall for a long time. ”She has always enjoyed risks since she was a child, when people used to look down on her. But nobody does now.
As a child, she lived in poverty and also went through ups and downs, “I am very sensitive to people who are more unfortunate, ”Baggs says. As a young adult, she joined the British Transport Commission police, but dealing with children who couldn’t find their parents was too much to bear. “I knew what they were going through. I like kids. I really do. ”Later she left the police and worked in Wiltshire council. But no doubt her childhood fed into her actions as a councillor, and later mayor in Calne, where she helped to set up a drop-in centre for young people. The drop-in was one of the causes she raised money for with that first leap out of the plane.
But why a parachute jump? At the time, her late husband, John, was ill with bowel cancer. He said, “I do wish you wouldn’t do it. ”She said, “John, it’s life. I’ve got to do something. ”
Baggs has never been fazed by ageing. She says that she wanted to show that you don’t have to sit on your backside knitting or watching television all the time. There’s a world out there. There’s a life out there. She hopes for at least one more skydive, maybe a go on a 100mph zip wire and “a peaceful end” .
4. Why did Mercy Baggs make her first parachute jump?
A. To celebrate her 90h birthday.
B. To make others look up to her.
C. To raise funds for an air ambulance.
D. To mark her term of office as mayor.
5. What impact did her childhood experiences make on her career?
A. She did parachute jumps as a part-time job.
B. She showed great concern for unlucky children.
C. She found it very tough to work with young people.
D. She left the drop-in centre and prepared a run for mayor.
6. What does the underlined word“fazed”mean in the last paragraph?
A Disturbed. B. Abandoned.
C. Witnessed. D. Embarrassed.
7. What does Baggs intend to convey with one more jump?
A. It is never too old to learn. B. Enjoy life with her family.
C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Be brave to face challenges in life.
C
An increasingly popular way of eating called reducetarianism may sound like a new weight loss trend. But that’s not the goal; instead, reducetarianism is about cutting down the amount of meat you eat and making small changes that are healthy for you and the planet. “But the vast majority don’t want to go vegan”, says Brian Kateman, co-founder of the Reducetarian Foundation. So he has a simple message for us: “Don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good.” Compared with a vegetarian, reducetarians take a more flexible approach that acknowledges challenges of giving up meat entirely but still limits meat when possible.
The opposite side of eating less meat is eating more plant foods. Animal products often replace fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, leading to lack of nutrients from them. A more plant-based diet can help lower the risk of health problems including heart disease, colon cancer, and obesity. And research shows the climate toll from raising plant-based foods is less than that caused by animal-based foods. This is largely because it takes much more land, water, and other resources to produce a pound of meat than plant protein, says Dana Ellis, a dietitian.
The type of meat you buy matters too. Grass-fed meat—from animals raised without antibiotics (抗生素)—tend to be the more sustainable options. By grazing, cows encourage grass growth and nutrient turnover in the soil, which may help offset cattle’s climate impact, according to a study published in 2021.
Looking for local produce that requires no air transport and cutting down the food waste are also significant aspects of being a reducetarian. The message of reducetarianism is that you don’t have to be perfect to help yourself and the planet by making small changes in how you eat and shop for food. And that’s something we all can accomplish.
8. What does reducetarianism refer to?
A. A novel weight loss trend. B. A healthy diet with little meat.
C. An idea of accepting imperfection. D. An approach to being a vegetarian.
9. Why should eating more plant foods be encouraged?
A. It helps to free people from diseases.
B. It guarantees all the nutrients needed.
C. It allows people to obtain more protein.
D. It causes less damage to the environment.
10. Who is more likely to be a reducetarian according to the passage?
A. A meat lover B. A cow raiser.
C. A keen environmentalist. D. A devoted vegetarian.
11. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?
A. Local produce can offer more nutrition.
B. Reducetarianism is something imperfect.
C. Any amount of food waste should be avoided.
D. Small changes in diet better man and the earth.
D
Here in the middle of London, something extraordinary is going on. You can hear a loud and unmistakable sound of bees doing what they do best: making honey.
What’s more, they’re performing their magic, not in the leafy acres of nearby park, but up on the balcony of St Ermin’s Hotel. Whereas most urban residences would do their best to keep sting-bearing insects as far away from guests as possible, this hotel opens its doors to the capital’s bees. The person who tends this “Bee Hotel” is Camilla Goddard. “In the long run, bees are amazing creatures to work with. You can’t help admiring the way they operate. They really do put the good of the community first,” she says.
As well as providing an enjoyable pastime, modern beekeeping is becoming increasingly critical. According to the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA), 70 different UK crops depend on bees for pollination (授粉). Without bees to provide pollination, one-third of all our food wouldn’t survive. During the Second World War, Winston Churchill was a firm supporter of bees and made sure they got extra supplies to carry on with their pollination work, even as the German army dropped their bombs.
“Bees are in danger of disappearing from our environment,” warns Tim Lovett of the BBKA. Today, bee numbers are down by 50 per cent. Using more and more land, agricultural industry reduces spots where bees can live. Crop-protecting pesticides have also led to high death rate of bees. Another blow was an Asian species that first arrived in Devon and then spread across the country. It settled on the bees and not only weakened their immune system but caused their wings to deform (变畸形) so that flying became impossible.
Anxious about the decline of beekeeping, the BBKA has produced a school information pack entitled “Bees in the Curriculum”. Once the children have been around bees for a while, they understand the service that bees provide for us, rather than seeing them as the source of stings.
12. What do we know about Camilla Goddard?
A. She has never got bee stings herself.
B. She tries to make her guests bee-free.
C. She admires the way in which bees live.
D. She owns a bee hotel in a London suburb.
13. Why is Winston Churchill mentioned in paragraph 3?
A To criticize the cruelty of war.
B. To change the role of bees in the war.
C. To highlight the value of bee pollination.
D. To awaken the consciousness of saving crops.
14. Which is a direct cause of the reduction of bee habitats?
A Modern agriculture. B. Foreign species invasion.
C. Hunting from humans. D. Crop-protecting pesticides.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The number of bees is decreasing sharply
B. Modern beekeeping is ensuring our future
C. Bee Hotel is changing bees’ fate in the UK
D. Children are educated about the value of bees

It was the worst day ever. In fact, that’s what we named it, all caps:WORST DAY EVER. The exact date was March 19, 2007, and I’ll never forget it.
The day began as usual. My husband, Alan, a manager working for a national restaurant chain, entered his office in our home to participate in conference calls. From my spot in the kitchen, I could overhear his conversation with his boss. It turned out that my fears were confirmed. Alan’s position had been dismissed. I hugged my husband as my heart sank. What were we going to do? Would we lose our house if we couldn’t afford to pay our mortgage(按揭贷款)?“We’ll be fine, ”he said . “I know, ”I responded . But, frankly, neither of us was very convincing.
I wanted to crawl back in bed and pull the covers over my head, but I had to go to work. So, I quickly showered, dressed, and made my way to work. It was a few hours into my shift when I received a call from the doctor’s office. “You have cancer, ”he stated. “What?”It sounded like something completely ridiculous, since I was a positive and healthy runner. That day I forgot how I arrived home.
I thought about how wonderful things had been up until this day. Alan and I had enjoyed a happy life in our lovely suburban home. We loved our jobs, traveling and fancy dinners. It was all too good to last, I thought. Now it’s time to pay back for all those amazing years. I imagined hospital beds, my bald head and worse. I prepared myself for a future of coping(应对), or no future at all .
I cried and Alan held me in his arms. “Someday in the future, we’re going to write about today, ”he whispered in my ear, “and we’ll call it Worst Day Ever. ”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“This is the thrill of it, ”she says. “You go up, and then that door opens and the wind starts to come through. You free-fall for a long time. ”She has always enjoyed risks since she was a child, when people used to look down on her. But nobody does now.

But why a parachute jump? At the time, her late husband, John, was ill with bowel cancer. He said, “I do wish you wouldn’t do it. ”She said, “John, it’s life. I’ve got to do something. ”
Baggs has never been fazed by ageing. She says that she wanted to show that you don’t have to sit on your backside knitting or watching television all the time. There’s a world out there. There’s a life out there. She hopes for at least one more skydive, maybe a go on a 100mph zip wire and “a peaceful end” .

Looking for local produce that requires no air transport and cutting down the food waste are also significant aspects of being a reducetarian. The message of reducetarianism is that you don’t have to be perfect to help yourself and the planet by making small changes in how you eat and shop for food. And that’s something we all can accomplish.
8. What does reducetarianism refer to?
A. A novel weight loss trend. B. A healthy diet with little meat.
C. An idea of accepting imperfection. D. An approach to being a vegetarian.
9. Why should eating more plant foods be encouraged?
A. It helps to free people from diseases.
B. It guarantees all the nutrients needed.
C. It allows people to obtain more protein.
D. It causes less damage to the environment.
10. Who is more likely to be a reducetarian according to the passage?
A. A meat lover B. A cow raiser.
C. A keen environmentalist. D. A devoted vegetarian.
11. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?
A. Local produce can offer more nutrition.
B. Reducetarianism is something imperfect.
C. Any amount of food waste should be avoided.
D. Small changes in diet better man and the earth.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“But that’s not the goal; instead, reducetarianism is about cutting down the amount of meat you eat and making small changes that are healthy for you and the planet.”（但这不是目标；相反，减肉主义是减少你吃的肉的数量，并做出对你和地球有益的小改变。）可知，减肉主义指的是减少你吃的肉的数量，这对你的健康和地球都有益，由此可知，减肉主义指的是一种少吃肉的健康饮食方式。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“And research shows the climate toll from raising plant-based foods is less than that caused by animal-based foods.”（研究表明，种植植物性食物所造成的气候损失比动物性食物所造成的气候损失小。）可知，种植植物性食物对气候的危害更小，更环保，由此可知，应该鼓励多吃植物性食物，因为它对环境的破坏较小。故选D项。

And that’s something we all can accomplish.”（减肉主义的信息是，你不必为了帮助自己和地球而完美，只需在饮食和购买食物的方式上做出微小的改变。这是我们都能做到的。）可知，我们只需在饮食和购买食物的方式上做出微小的改变，就可以帮助人类和地球，由此可知，从最后一段可以得知饮食上的小变化使人类和地球变得更好。故选D项。
D
Here in the middle of London, something extraordinary is going on. You can hear a loud and unmistakable sound of bees doing what they do best: making honey.
What’s more, they’re performing their magic, not in the leafy acres of nearby park, but up on the balcony of St Ermin’s Hotel. Whereas most urban residences would do their best to keep sting-bearing insects as far away from guests as possible, this hotel opens its doors to the capital’s bees. The person who tends this “Bee Hotel” is Camilla Goddard. “In the long run, bees are amazing creatures to work with. You can’t help admiring the way they operate. They really do put the good of the community first,” she says.
As well as providing an enjoyable pastime, modern beekeeping is becoming increasingly critical. According to the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA), 70 different UK crops depend on bees for pollination (授粉). Without bees to provide pollination, one-third of all our food wouldn’t survive. During the Second World War, Winston Churchill was a firm supporter of bees and made sure they got extra supplies to carry on with their pollination work, even as the German army dropped their bombs.
“Bees are in danger of disappearing from our environment,” warns Tim Lovett of the BBKA. Today, bee numbers are down by 50 per cent. Using more and more land, agricultural industry reduces spots where bees can live. Crop-protecting pesticides have also led to high death rate of bees. Another blow was an Asian species that first arrived in Devon and then spread across the country. It settled on the bees and not only weakened their immune system but caused their wings to deform (变畸形) so that flying became impossible.
Anxious about the decline of beekeeping, the BBKA has produced a school information pack entitled “Bees in the Curriculum”. Once the children have been around bees for a while, they understand the service that bees provide for us, rather than seeing them as the source of stings.
12. What do we know about Camilla Goddard?
A. She has never got bee stings herself.
B. She tries to make her guests bee-free.
C. She admires the way in which bees live.
D. She owns a bee hotel in a London suburb.
13. Why is Winston Churchill mentioned in paragraph 3?
A To criticize the cruelty of war.
B. To change the role of bees in the war.
C. To highlight the value of bee pollination.
D. To awaken the consciousness of saving crops.
14. Which is a direct cause of the reduction of bee habitats?
A Modern agriculture. B. Foreign species invasion.
C. Hunting from humans. D. Crop-protecting pesticides.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The number of bees is decreasing sharply
B. Modern beekeeping is ensuring our future
C. Bee Hotel is changing bees’ fate in the UK
D. Children are educated about the value of bees
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. C
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“In the long run, bees are amazing creatures to work with. You can’t help admiring the way they operate. They really do put the good of the community first,” she says. (从长远来看，蜜蜂是一种令人惊叹的生物。你不禁钦佩它们的运作方式。它们确实把团体的利益放在第一位，”她说。)”可知，Camilla Goddard 很钦佩蜜蜂过活的方式。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“During the Second World War, Winston Churchill was a firm supporter of bees and made sure they got extra supplies to carry on with their pollination work, even as the German army dropped their bombs. (第二次世界大战期间，温斯顿·丘吉尔是蜜蜂的坚定支持者，即使德国军队投下了炸弹，他还确保蜜蜂获得额外的补给，以继续授粉工作。)”可以看出，丘吉尔很看重蜜蜂授粉，肯定是因为蜜蜂授粉价值重大，因此这强调了蜜蜂授粉的价值。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后二句“Using more and more land, agricultural industry reduces spots where bees can live. (农业产业使用越来越多的土地，减少了蜜蜂的栖息地。)”可知，蜜蜂栖息地减少的直接原因是现代农业的发展。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Here in the middle of London, something extraordinary is going on. You can hear a loud and unmistakable sound of bees doing what they do best: making honey. (在伦敦市中心，有一件非同寻常的事情正在发生。你可以听到蜜蜂在做他们最擅长的事：酿蜜时发出的响亮而明确的声音。)”可知，这一段描述的场景是Bee Hotel里蜜蜂的活动，本文通过这个场景，介绍了蜂蜜的重要性，以及该酒店的行为改变了人们对蜜蜂的看法，不再仅仅是蜇人的源头，因此Bee Hotel is changing bees’ fate in the UK“Bee Hotel正在改变蜜蜂在英国的命运”。故选C项。

【19题详解】
根据后文“In addition to being able to grow food without soil and in small spaces, hydroponic gardening can contribute to solving social and environmental issues. In regions where people don’t have access to fresh vegetables, a hydroponic garden can be part of the solution. Hydroponic plants can grow 40% to 50% faster and produce 30% more than the plants growing in soil.(除了能够在无土壤和小空间种植食物外，水培园艺还有助于解决社会和环境问题。在人们无法获得新鲜蔬菜的地区，水培花园可以成为解决方案的一部分。水培植物比在土壤中生长的植物生长速度快40%到50%，产量多30%)”可知，本段主要介绍了水培花园的好处。故C选项“水培花园的好处是什么？”符合语境，故选C。
【20题详解】

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：其中一道菜用的是府邸里的银杏果作为食材。根据句意，表示用银杏果“作为”食材，应用介词as，其意为“作为，当”。故填as。
【37题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：府邸内的两棵银杏树，虽然是一千多年前种下的，但依然郁郁葱葱，高大挺拔。在when, while, if, as if, though(或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等连接的状语从句中，常省略跟主句相同的主语和从句中的be动词。分析句子可知，“though　2　 (plant) more than one thousand years ago”是让步状语从句，完整的表达是“though Two ginkgo trees were planted more than one thousand years ago”，符合状语从句的省略条件，省略“Two ginkgo trees were”后，保留过去分词planted。故填planted。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：果实大而饱满，散发着香味。分析句子可知，“(emit) scents”作伴随状语，emit是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语The fruits之间是主动关系，应用现在分词，表示主动和同时发生。故填emitting。
【39题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：厨师们只是把银杏果实从树上摘下来，在果实还新鲜的时候去皮。根据句意可知，“the fruits are still fresh”是时间状语从句，用从属连词while或when引导该从句，表示“当……的时候”。故填while或when。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然后，他们把坚果放入沸水中煮一会儿，以去除异味。根据句意可知，“(remove) the off-smell”是把坚果放入沸水中煮的目的，应用不定式，作目的状语。故填to remove。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：当坚果变得又脆又嫩的时候，他们就把它们放进一种由糖和蜂蜜制成的特殊果汁里，这样就做成了一道菜，吃起来软软的，特别甜。分析句子可知，空格处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a dish，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：这道菜最初被命名为“蜂蜜银杏坚果”，人们认为这个名字不好看，也不能接受。提示词修饰谓语动词was named，应用副词initially，作状语，意为“最初”。故填initially。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这道菜最初被命名为“蜂蜜银杏坚果”，人们认为这个名字不好看，也不能接受。提示词与形容词presentable是并列关系，作宾语补足语，应用形容词acceptable，意为“可接受的”。故填acceptable。
【44题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：由于银杏果实来自“诗礼府邸”，这道菜被改名为“诗礼银杏果”，寓意深刻，既缅怀祖先的“诗礼家训”，又表达了对孔氏家业兴旺的期待。分析句子可知，rename(重新命名，改名)是主句中谓语动词，与主语this dish之间是被动关系，根据上下文可知，讲述过去的事情，应使用一般过去时态，又因主语是单数名词，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。故填was renamed。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：由于银杏果实来自“诗礼府邸”，这道菜被改名为“诗礼银杏果”，寓意深刻，既缅怀祖先的“诗礼家训”，又表达了对孔氏家业兴旺的期待。根据句意和空前冠词the可知，应用名词expectation，作宾语，意为“期待”。故填expectation。

It was the worst day ever. In fact, that’s what we named it, all caps:WORST DAY EVER. The exact date was March 19, 2007, and I’ll never forget it.
The day began as usual. My husband, Alan, a manager working for a national restaurant chain, entered his office in our home to participate in conference calls. From my spot in the kitchen, I could overhear his conversation with his boss. It turned out that my fears were confirmed. Alan’s position had been dismissed. I hugged my husband as my heart sank. What were we going to do? Would we lose our house if we couldn’t afford to pay our mortgage(按揭贷款)?“We’ll be fine, ”he said . “I know, ”I responded . But, frankly, neither of us was very convincing.
I wanted to crawl back in bed and pull the covers over my head, but I had to go to work. So, I quickly showered, dressed, and made my way to work. It was a few hours into my shift when I received a call from the doctor’s office. “You have cancer, ”he stated. “What?”It sounded like something completely ridiculous, since I was a positive and healthy runner. That day I forgot how I arrived home.
I thought about how wonderful things had been up until this day. Alan and I had enjoyed a happy life in our lovely suburban home. We loved our jobs, traveling and fancy dinners. It was all too good to last, I thought. Now it’s time to pay back for all those amazing years. I imagined hospital beds, my bald head and worse. I prepared myself for a future of coping(应对), or no future at all .
I cried and Alan held me in his arms. “Someday in the future, we’re going to write about today, ”he whispered in my ear, “and we’ll call it Worst Day Ever. ”

【答案】 In the following days, we both got right to work. Alan began calling everyone he could think of with possible connections in the restaurant industry. He tirelessly applied and interviewed for dozens of positions. We were able to find a brilliant oncologist who immediately began to perform intensive scans and other tests to determine the stage and severity of my cancer. Time dragged on. Our anxiety was high, but we kept our heads up and always looked forward.
After several months, our hard work eventually paid off. Within several months, Alan was offered a new position at a thriving restaurant chain, with excellent pay and terrific benefits. My oncologist completed her tests, and the results were more than encouraging. Worst Day Ever itself stripped away all the trivial stuff and shone a bright spotlight on all the important things, like faith, family, perseverance, love, and health. Alan and I were blessed with an abundance of these things. We’ll never, ever take them for granted again. Worst Day Ever taught us how to cherish each one, on a much deeper, more profound level.
