B
Everyone who knew anything about animals warned me against getting a rabbit in my early 20s, but I ignored them, and ended up with three. It turns out that all the people who are against rabbits have a point: Rabbits get sick all the time, and there are very few vets (兽医) who specialize in their care. My years with rabbits have been full of feeding, hurried trips to the vet, sleepless nights and begging for advice on the Internet.
Now that my animals are old and weak now, I clear their waste and clean their legs with a rabbit-friendly shampoo. I spend a lot of time on the floor, because although my rabbits are hard to satisfy socially, they also hate to be picked up.
I am often asked the question: Why rabbits? Why not a dog, or a cat? I try to describe what it’s like to be with them. I had never felt a real duty towards anything until I had my rabbits.
My answers never satisfy anyone. I’m not sure about the question, either it so often implies instrumental value, as if the correct reply might be “They make good companions” or “They’re nice to look at”. I don’t have the right kind of reason. I don’t believe in the use value of any living thing. Like humans, animals just are—that’s it. Usually, we do not look at other people and think about how to make them work for us. Yet so much of our way of seeing the world is founded on the assumption that animals are meant to serve a purpose. This seems wrong.
After all these years with my rabbits, the only thing I know is that there is no lesson to be learned or value to be acquired. There’s just an effort to be made, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s what life is.
24．Why do people oppose keeping rabbits?
A．It’s very boring. B．It costs a fortune.
C．It makes the house messy. D．It’s rather demanding.
25．Which word can be used to describe the author?
A．Sociable. B．Knowledgeable. C．Considerate. D．Humorous.
26．What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A．Animals shouldn’t be judged on some purpose.
B．Animals should be treated differently.
C．The value of animals shouldn’t be ignored.
D．Humans should live in harmony with animals.
27．What effect does raising rabbits have on the author?
A．He keeps being true to himself. B．He realizes the meaning of life.
C．He learns to value others’ opinions. D．He reflects on his life more deeply.

C
It is an unpleasant extinction that will change the world and how people communicate: within 20 years, two thirds of all the planet’s languages will be dead.
Experts agree that nothing can stop it happening but one academic is trying her hardest to slow it down. Professor Antonella Sorace is one of a growing number who believe learning a second language has enormous untapped benefits for the human brain. This is true not only for young children but also for adults and people at risk from dementia (痴呆), where research consistently shows that learning a new language could delay the start of the disease for four to five years—a better result than with any medication to date.
It is those benefits of bilingualism (双语) that should encourage us to preserve and protect Europe’s minority languages—Gaelic, Manx, Cornish and Ulster Scots, she says.
Already her work and the project she founded three years ago in Edinburgh, Bilingualism Matters—now expanding across Europe and in the US—have convinced the Scottish government to introduce languages to primary schools. From 2023 all Scottish children will be learning a language other than English in their first year at school, with two other languages to be introduced later.
Bilingualism Matters is also working to encourage businesses to consider the benefits of their staff learning languages. In business, people always hold the belief that English is the language of business, and there is no need to learn another language. Sorace says, “Maybe bilingualism would mean you could do better business.”
Just as disappearing forests take the secrets of undiscovered medicines with them, disappearing languages can take the key to a longer and better quality of life. The first battle is to unpick the popular assumption that bilingualism might damage children’s brains. There were even suggestions it could encourage schizophrenia (精神分裂症).
Study after study has shown the opposite to be true, says Sorace. “These prejudices are deeply rooted, but we are perhaps halfway to persuading people that the brain can cope. Then we have to persuade people that it is actually of benefit.”
28．What will happen to the majority of the world’s languages?
A．They will be learnt by more academics. B．They will become extinct in decades.
C．They will prevent the risk of dementia. D．They will help people better communicate.
29．What’s Bilingualism Matters intended to do?
A．Find a replacement for English. B．Teach businesses marketing skills.
C．Promote minority language learning. D．Influence governments’ policy making.
30．What’s the top priority in preserving minority languages?
A．Correcting the misconception about bilingualism.
B．Finding the key to promoting people’s welfare.
C．Unlocking the secrets of undiscovered medicines.
D．Getting rid of people’s fear for mental illnesses.
31．Which can be the best title for the text?
A．The Benefits of Bilingualism
B．The Founding of Bilingualism Matters
C．A New Challenge Facing Language Teaching
D．A Professor Fighting to Save Minority Languages

D
The term “social distancing” has been at the center of public conversation for a while. But it’s not “social” distance we are trying to promote. It’s physical separation. In fact, preserving social ties—even at a distance—is essential for both mental and physical health. The results of an analytic review published in 2020 indicate that a lack of social support is on a par (与……同等) with smoking cigarettes as a risk factor for health.
Given this fact, how might we best stay connected to others while maintaining physical distance? Would we be better off e-mailing a friend? Making a phone call? Setting up a video chat? In our study, Nick Epley and I tested whether the media through which people interact affects their sense of connection—and how expectations about certain technologies impact the communication media they choose to use.
In our experiment, we asked participants to reconnect with someone that they hadn’t interacted with recently, either through e-mail or over the phone. Participants first made predictions about what it would be like to get in touch if they reached out in these two ways. They generally believed that they’d feel more connected when interacting via the phone than over e-mail. But they also predicted that talking on the phone could be more uncomfortable than sending an e-mail. Although these participants believed that talking encouraged stronger bonds, most of them said they’d rather send an e-mail than call the person up. Fears about awkwardness, it seems, push individuals toward text-based methods for communicating.
In the next part of the experiment, we had participants actually reconnect using one randomly determined mode of communication and then followed up with them after they had done so. We found that people do form meaningfully stronger bonds when interacting over the phone than over e-mail. Importantly, though, there was no difference in the amount of discomfort when reconnecting on the phone.
The next time you think about how best to connect, consider calling or setting up a video chat. Feelings of social connection are preferably facilitated by voice rather than a keyboard.
32．How does the author support his view on the importance of maintaining social ties?
A．By stating a deep-rooted tradition. B．By sharing public opinions.
C．By citing a published report. D．By presenting official documents.
33．What did the author and Epley’s study focus on?
A．How technologies impact means of communication.
B．How social media choices affect feelings of connection.
C．Why maintaining social separation is bad for mental health.
D．Why reconnecting with friends over the phone brings awkwardness.
34．What can we infer from the study results?
A．They changed the research objectives. B．They provided insights for future studies.
C．They confirmed researchers’ expectations. D．They contradicted participants’ predictions partly.
35．What can be concluded from the text?
A．Think before you consider contacting an old friend.
B．Keeping in touch is key to a lasting friendship.
C．For stronger bonds, talk instead of typing.
D．Text-based methods for communication cause discomfort.

Tips on Preventing a Sports-Related Injury
Playing sports is a great way to exercise, and that doesn’t have to stop once you’re an adult. 36 But when we’re active, we also increase the chance of getting injuries.
These injuries are painful and often require missing games and practices to give your body the proper rest and care needed to recover. Unfortunately, a previous injury is one of the most significant predictors of a future injury. 37
Here are some injury prevention tips:
38 Talk with your doctor about any past sports injuries during your next checkup or before the next season starts. Your doctor can recommend corrective exercises to help you be more resistant to a future injury.
Be aware of the environment and field conditions. Environment doesn’t just mean the weather, although that is important, but also how safely teammates and the opponents are playing. 39 Ice or wet spots or holes can set the stage for a fall and result in an injury.
Watch for athletic sportsmanship. When athletes don’t play by the rules or play too aggressively, an injury is more likely to occur. Watch to ensure officials and members of the other team demonstrate a good understanding of fair play.
Recognize an injury. Despite our best efforts, an injury can happen. 40 Take yourself out of the game and have the injury assessed so it doesn’t get worse. Before going back into the game, give yourself time to heal completely and develop a strategy to prevent the injury from happening again.
By taking these smart steps to avoid (and if necessary, address) injuries, you can set the stage for a life-long, healthy love of sports.
A．Assess potential injuries.
B．Arrange for an athletic checkup.
C．Sports is an ideal way to socialize and maintain fitness.
D．Sporting activities may result in any type of injury.
E．If it does, it’s very important to address it immediately.
F．Also, check out the field or court where you’re playing.
G．That’s why injury prevention—not just treatment or recovery—is key.

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。
Alice worked busily on her spelling test. Mr. Brown sat at the desk, ensuring students were taking the test by themselves. Her palms sweating, her heart racing, Alice double-checked the words on her paper. Should her words be all correct, she would win the competition and plus a brand new tennis racket (球拍).
Two more words to go. L-o-v-e-l-y. D-r-y-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly. With her hand trembling, she wrote the correct form of “honest”. Then she handed in the paper with brimming confidence.
The next day, Mr. Brown marched into the classroom, stack of papers in hand. Seeing this, Alice sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. She felt her heart would bounce out of her mouth. Mr. Brown planted himself in the front of the classroom, cleared his throat and announced: “Way to go, Alice! You made it!” Amid loud bursts of applause, Mr. Brown presented Alice with the prize. Holding the box containing the tennis racket, Alice was walking on air.
When school was dismissed, Alice hurried home, dying to tell her mother the good news. “What’s up?” Mom sensed something unusual and asked after Alice seated herself. “Mom, guess what! I won the spelling test!” Alice said proudly. Mom hugged her, asking her to show the test paper to Dad when he got home. Instinctively, Alice took another look at the test paper, but was horrified to find “H-O-N-E-S-L-Y”. She suddenly felt dizzy and her face was burning.
Mom smelled a rat and asked what was wrong. “I am just...too excited,” Alice stammered (结巴), hurriedly stuffing the test paper into her backpack. Mom brought her some tea. Yes, a “t” was exactly what she needed.

作文一：
Dear friends,
I’m Li Hua, president of the Students’ Union. It’s my great privilege to be here to welcome our fellow friends from Singapore.
Next week, we’ll exchange our ideas on learning, sports and cultures. First of all, our studying in the same classroom and living in the same dormitory will lead to a fabulous recognition. The playground will witness a fierce match of basketball or football, and a sports meeting is scheduled to be held in our school where we’ll compete with each other. In the end, we are going to hold a Chinese speech contest to arouse our interest in Chinese.
After the precious exchange activity, I firmly believe we’ll have a better understanding of each other on a whole new level. Wish you all the best. Thank you!
作文二：
About one hour later, Dad came home. Hardly had he put down the briefcase when Mom eagerly announced the good news. Hearing this, Dad walked to Alice’s room, great delight sparkling in his eyes. “I am so proud of you, girl!” Dad said, giving a gentle pat on her back. But Alice didn’t dare to meet her father’s gaze. Guilt swallowed her. Finally, summoning up her courage, Alice said in a low voice: “I don’t deserve the prize. I misspelled ‘honestly’.” Then tears streamed down. Seeing this, her father uttered that honesty matters more than prize. He suggested Alice should tell the teacher the truth.
The next morning, Alice went to school earlier than usual. She made her way to Mr. Brown’s office. When he saw Alice, a surprised look crossed his face, for Alice came to school extra early today. But instantly he knew with his experience that Alice had a story to tell. “I can’t keep these. I spelled ‘honestly’ wrong and you didn’t catch it,” Alice said clearly, giving Mr. Brown the spelling paper and the tennis racket. For a moment, Mr. Brown just stood rooted to the ground. Then picking up his pen, he crossed out “perfect” and wrote “honest” on the paper. “Please keep the tennis racket. But for honesty”.
答案详解
【阅读理解】
A篇
【答案】21．B    22．C    23．D
【导语】这是一篇应用文。向读者推荐几种适合青少年的礼物。
21．细节理解题。根据Girls’ Life 部分 “She’ll find tips for dealing with stress, navigating high school, achieving academic success, and beauty and fashion advice. (她会找到应对压力、在高中生活中导航、取得学业成功以及美容和时尚建议的建议)”可知，Girls’ Life 提供了学习方面的建议。故选B项。
22．推理判断题。根据文章开头“We have a list of the best teen magazines. Give the gift of reading to your teens today!(今天就把阅读作为礼物送给你十几岁的孩子吧!)”可知，这篇文章在向父母们推荐几种杂志，可以作为礼物送给自己的孩子，所以受众读者应该是父母。故选C项。
23．细节理解题。根据National Geographic Kids部分“While designed for kids aged 6 and up, this magazine features a lot of important, fun information about the world around us.(虽然这本杂志是为6岁以上的孩子设计的，但它有很多关于我们周围世界的重要而有趣的信息)”可知，该杂志适合六岁及以上孩子，而对比其他几个：Muse适合14岁以上孩子；Sports Illustrated Kids适合8至14岁孩子；Girls’ Life 为10至15岁孩子而设计可知，National Geographic Kids有年龄最小的读者。故选D项。
B篇
【答案】24．D    25．C    26．A    27．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述作者养兔子的经历，明白了生活的真谛：生活是需要不断努力的。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“It tuns out that all the people who are against rabbits have a point: Rabbits get sick all the time, and there are very few vets who specialize in their care. My years with rabbits have been full of feeding, hurried trips to the vet, sleepless nights and begging for advice on the Internet.(事实证明，所有反对兔子的人都有一个道理：兔子总是会生病，而且很少有兽医专门照顾它们。我和兔子相处的这些年充满了喂食、匆忙去看兽医、失眠的夜晚以及在网上寻求建议。)”可知，周围的人反对作者养兔子是因为兔子总是会生病，是比较难养的即要求苛刻。故选D项。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Now that my animals are old and weak now, I clear their waste and clean their legs with a rabbit-friendly shampoo. I spend a lot of time on the floor, because although my rabbits are hard to satisfy socially, they also hate to be picked up.(因为我的动物现在又老又弱了，我用兔子专用洗发水清理它们的粪便，清洁它们的腿。因为虽然我的兔子不愿意社交，它们也讨厌被抱起来，所以我花了很多时间在地板上陪它们玩耍。)”可知，兔子不喜欢被别人抱，故作者花很多时间来陪伴它们，同时作者有细心地去清理兔子们的腿，由此推断出作者是体贴的人。故选C项。
26．词义猜测题。根据前文“I’m not sure about the question, either it so often implies instrumental value, as if the correct reply might be “They make good companions” or “They’re nice to look at”. I don’t have the right kind of reason. I don’t believe in the use value of any living thing.(我对这个问题不太确定，要么它经常暗示着工具价值，好像正确的回答可能是“它们是很好的伴侣”或“它们看起来很漂亮”。我找不到合适的理由。我不相信任何生物是因为某种使用价值而存在的。)”可知，别人总会问道作者为什么养兔子，作者对这个问题的答案是不确定的，因为作者并不是因为养兔子并不是一种工具利益性行为，即“它们是很好的伴侣”或“它们看起来很漂亮”，因为作者并不是因为养兔子给作者带来了价值才养的，人是这样，动物也是这样即他不相信任何生物是因为某种使用价值而存在的。故划线词的意思为“动物不应该因为某种目的而被评判。”符合题意。故选A项。
27．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There’s just an effort to be made, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s what life is.(只要努力，就我而言，这就是生活。)”可知，作者在多年的养兔子经历中明白的是生活是要努力的，这就是生活即作者明白了生活的真谛。故选B项。

C篇
【答案】28．B    29．C    30．A    31．D

【语法填空】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国和尼泊尔两国对于珠穆朗玛峰的最高峰高度的探索历程。
56. 考查语态和时态。句意：周二公布的结果显示，珠穆朗玛峰的最高峰高度为8848.86米，高于此前预计的高度。分析句子结构及提示“announce”可知，announce与the result为动宾关系，用被动语态，句中时间为过去的“周二”，因此用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was announced。
57. 考查形容词比较级。句意：周二公布的结果显示，珠穆朗玛峰的最高峰高度为8848.86米，高于此前预计的高度。分析句子及提示“high”可知，than 前通常只能用形容词或副词的比较级。故填higher。
58. 考查非谓语动词。句意：这是在中国和尼泊尔外交部长领导的网络视频活动中报道的。分析句子结构及提示“lead”可知，lead与an online video event为动宾关系，因此用过去分词作后置定语修饰。故填led。

60. 考查副词。句意：最被广泛接受的高度是由1954年印度调查决定的8848米。分析句子结构及提示“wide”可知，空处应填副词修饰accepted。故填widely。
61. 考查固定搭配。句意：尼泊尔以前从未自行测量过珠穆朗玛峰的高度。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定搭配on one's own“独自”。故填on。
62. 考查名词。句意：尼泊尔政府的一个登山队和测量人员于2019年5月登顶珠峰，使用GPS和卫星设备测量峰顶。根据句意及提示“equip”可知，此处应填名词equipment表示“设备”，在句中作宾语，不可数。故填equipment。
63. 考查冠词。句意：那年晚些时候，两国领导人决定就官方高度达成一致。height表示某一特定的高度，可与不定冠词连用，句中泛指“官方高度”，official发音以元音音素开头，需用不定冠词an。故填an。
64. 考查定语从句。句意：然后，中国的一个调查小组在2020年春天进行了测量，在此期间，由于冠状病毒危机，所有其他登山活动都停止了。分析句子结构可知，此处应填which引导非限制性定语从句，during which time 指时间，表示“在……期间”。故填which。
65. 考查连词。句意：珠穆朗玛峰的高度不会是一个冲突的数字，而是双方都同意的数字。根据句意可知，此处应该填连词，连接两个并列成分，表示“而是”，not...but...“不是......而是......”。故填but。
