A
“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man,” Ernest Hemingway once wrote, “then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” Here are some places Hemingway frequented in Paris.
Harry’s New York Bar
One of the bars Hemingway frequented was Harry’s New York Bar. Sitting on Paris’ Right Bank near the Paris Opera, the bar opened in 1911 and served as a meeting place for foreigners in the city. The bar was originally in New York. Its owner, Tod Sloan, had it shipped across the Atlantic to Paris. The “Harry’s” in the name came from a waiter who bought it from Sloan in 1923. Harry’s is the birthplace of a number of famous drinks, from Paris 75 to Sidecar.
Address: 5 rue Daunou, 75002
Les Deux Magot
It was once the meeting place for famous writers in Paris, including Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre. Hemingway also frequented the café, and even used it as a setting for his novel The Sun Also Rises.
Address: 6 Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 75006
La Closerie des Lilas
Hemingway wrote most of The Sun Also Rises here. La Closerie des Lilas was also the first place where Hemingway read F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby.
Address: 171 Boulevard du Montparnasse, 75015
Jardin du Luxembourg
When his family ran out of money, Hemingway would sometimes hunt pigeons (鸽子) in Jardin du Luxembourg. Having broken their necks, he would hide them in his son’s clothes. You don’t have to hunt pigeons to explore and experience the natural beauty of the second largest park in Paris, however.
Address: 6 Arrondissement, 75006
21．What can we know about Harry’s New York Bar?
A．It is in New York City. B．It is on Paris’ Left Bank.
C．It was opened in 1923. D．It is the birthplace of Sidecar.
22．Which place is used as a background for The Sun Also Rises?
A．5 rue Daunou, 75002. B．6 Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 75006.
C．6 Arrondissement, 75006. D．171 Boulevard du Montparnasse, 75015.
23．Why did Hemingway hunt pigeons in Jardin du Luxembourg?
A．He could not afford to buy meat. B．He gave them to his son as pets.
C．He really enjoyed illegal hunting. D．He particularly loved pigeon meat.
B

Pretending sickness may get harder. Slipping a day off work by nervously coughing down the phone to your boss might not work. Very soon your company might be able to tell whether your symptoms are real, just from your voice.
An Indian research team tried to tell a “cold voice” from a healthy voice. Their research makes use of the fact that human speech, like any musical instrument, does not produce single frequencies of sounds. Even the best trained singers cannot hit pure notes like those from tuning forks. The dominant notes in the human voice are instead accompanied by a series of higher pitch (音高) tones.
Together these sets of notes fit into mathematical patterns called harmonics (和声), with tones having frequencies that are multiples of the original note. For example, the pitch of the second harmonic note is twice the frequency of the main note and so on. The loudness of these harmonics in speech tends to fade as they proceed up the frequency scale. The team reasoned that infection with a cold might change how this decline happened.
To find out, the scientists made use of an unusual resource: recordings of the voices of 630 people in Germany, 111 of whom were suffering from a cold. Each was asked to count from one to 40 and describe what they did at the weekend. They also read aloud a fable The North Wind and the Sun, which has been a popular text for speech research since 1949. By breaking down each person’s speech into its spectrum (声谱) of component wavelengths, the researchers could identify the dominant frequency and the harmonics in each case. They then used machine-learning to analyse the relationships between the loudness of these harmonics and found patterns that could distinguish the cold voices from the healthy voices.
The team’s diagnosis of cold voice shows a 70% accuracy. Faced with another dull Monday at the office, would you take the risk?
28．On what basis is the research performed?
A．Human speeches vary in frequencies. B．Training has no effect on human notes.
C．Humans speak like musical instruments. D．Higher pitch notes dominate human voices.
29．What may reduce the volume of human harmonics?
A．The pitch of harmonics. B．A pretended cold voice.
C．The sets of human notes. D．Higher sound frequencies.
30．Why are the participants required to read the fable?
A．It is easy to understand. B．It is valuable in literature.
C．It is popular with speakers. D．It is suitable for the research.
31．What does the author want to tell us?
A．Human speech reflects health B．Pretending sickness is a trend.
C．Voice changes with conditions. D．Changing voice is of great risk.
D
In the late 1970s, archaeologists (考古学家) uncovered the remains of a woman and a young dog, her hand resting on the puppy’s chest in a 12,000-year-old village.
The find is some of the earliest evidence of the bond between humans and dogs. But even after years of study researchers are divided on how this bond began. Did it arise over thousands of years, as early dogs became tamer (驯服的) and more accustomed to human behaviors? Or was this fire already burning in the ancestors of dogs: the gray wolf?
Christina Hansen Wheat, a behavioral ecologist at Stockholm University, and workmates hand-raised 10 gray wolves from the time they were 10 days old. When the animals were 23 weeks old, a caregiver led them one at a time into a mostly empty room. Over the course of several minutes, the caregiver exited and entered the room, sometimes leaving the wolf alone, sometimes leaving it with a complete stranger. The team repeated the experiment with 12 23-week-old Alaskan huskies (哈士奇), which they’d raised similarly since puppyhood.
For the most part, the scientists saw few differences between the wolves and the dogs. When their caregiver entered the room, both species scored 4.6 on a five-point scale of “greeting behavior”—a desire to be around the human. When the stranger entered, dog greeting behavior dropped to 4.2 and wolf to 3.5, on average, suggesting both animals made a distinction between the person they knew and the one they didn’t. It’s this distinction that the team counts as a sign of attachment.
In addition, dogs barely paced—a sign of stress—during the test, while wolves paced at least part of the time. However, the wolves stopped pacing almost entirely when a stranger left the room and their caretaker returned. Hansen Wheat says that’s never been seen before in wolves. It could be a sign, she says, that the animals view the humans who raised them as a “social buffer”.
For her, that’s the most interesting part of the study. “If this is true, this sort of attachment is not what separates dogs from wolves,” she says. In other words, it didn’t have to be bred into them by humans, but could have been the seed we selected for, and then strengthened over thousands of years.
32．What’s the purpose of Hansen Wheat’s experiment?
A．To find out what makes gray wolves and dogs different.
B．To explain the reasons why humans raised dogs from ancient times.
C．To argue gray wolves after being tamed are easier to keep than dogs.
D．To prove whether gray wolves can make doglike attachment to people.
33．What do we know about Hansen Wheat’s experiment from paragraph 3 and 4?
A．Researchers began to raise gray wolves from their birth.
B．Researchers used equal numbers of gray wolves and dogs.
C．Gray wolves felt more stressful than dogs when a stranger came.
D．“Greeting behavior” of the two animals was significantly different.
34．What do the underlined words “social buffer” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．A reminder of feeding. B．A sign of social attachment.
C．A source of comfort and support. D．A warning of stopping pace.
35．What will Hansen Wheat probably agree with according to the last paragraph?
A．Dogs are more attached to humans than gray wolves.
B．It is the attachment to humans that sets gray wolves apart from dogs.
C．The attachment between dogs and humans is the result of being tamed.
D．The attachment to humans plays a role in the choice of dogs or gray wolves.

Beating Burnout and Compassion Fatigue in the New Year
This year has continued to bring many of us closer to the pain, suffering and exhaustion of those experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue (疲倦). There is no doubt that 2021 has been filled with additional challenges. 36
The data is clearly showing that our workforce shares feelings of burnout. A recent Gallup report indicated that 67% of us feel burned out either some or most of the time. At an organizational level, Hogan reports that burned out employees are 18% less productive and 2.6 times more likely to be actively seeking a different job.
Fatigue and burnout arise not when we fail to get sufficient rest but when we fail to appreciate the moments of purpose and joy in our lives.
There are a few myths around burnout and compassion fatigue:
Myth 1: Burnout is an individual's problem.
Many people believe that burnout is about an individual who needs to “figure it out”. 37 Team structure offers critical support and leaders should create environment where team burnout is addressed.
Myth 2: 38
Surprisingly, the individuals most likely to experience burnout are committed employees and leaders who love their job and are highly engaged. These top performers are the people you are most likely to lose.
Myth 3: People who experience burnout are just less resilient.
Research shows a correlation between higher levels of resilience (复原力) and lower levels of burnout. 39 But resilience looks very different now from five years ago, and my guess is that it will continue to shift.
If 2021 has taught us anything, it is that we cannot separate burnout from our emotions, whether they may be fear, anger, shame or guilt. 40
A．While fatigue is more sudden and results from carrying the pain and suffering of others, what we experience is similar.
B．Burnout results from lack of responsibility.
C．Burnout hurts individuals' enthusiasm and passion.
D．At this point, burnout and compassion fatigue has expanded into many aspects of our lives.
E．But burnout occurs at different levels and is the result from challenges to individuals, teams and organizations.
F．At one point, people believed resilience was established by “sucking it up”, or “just staying positive”.
G．And the path forward requires us to deepen the relationship with feelings of joy, passion, pride and fulfillment.

Scientific discovery is popularly believed to result from the sheer genius of such intellectual stars as naturalist Charles Darwin and theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. Our view of such unique contributions to science often 41 the person’s prior experience and the efforts of their lesser-known predecessors (前任者).
42 such greats as Darwin and Einstein—whose remarkable contributions are duly celebrated — we suggest that innovation is more a process of trial and error, where two steps forward may sometimes come with one step back, as well as one or more steps to the right or left. This evolutionary view of human innovation weakens the idea of 43 genius and recognizes the accumulative nature of scientific progress.
Consider one 44 scientist: John Nicholson, a mathematical physicist working in the 1910s who assumed the existence of ‘proto-elements’ in outer space. By combining different numbers of weights of these proto-elements’ atoms, Nicholson could recover the weights of all the elements in the then-known periodic table. These successes are all the more noteworthy given the fact that Nicholson was 45 about the presence of proto-elements: they do not actually exist. Yet, amid his often fanciful theories and wild guesses, Nicholson also 46 a new theory about the structure of atoms. Niels Bohr, the Nobel prize-winning father of modern atomic theory, 47 this interesting idea to come up with his now-famous model of the atom.
What are we to make of this story? We propose that science is constantly 48 , much as species of animals do. In biological systems, organisms may display new characteristics that 49 random genetic mutations (变异). In the same way, random or accidental mutations of ideas may help pave the way for 50 in science. 51 mutations prove beneficial, the animal or the scientific theory will continue to thrive and perhaps reproduce.
52 for this evolutionary view of behavioral innovation comes from many domains. Consider one example of an influential innovation in US horseracing. The so-called ‘acey-deucy’ stirrup (马镫) placement, in which the rider’s foot in his left stirrup is placed as much as 25 centimeters lower than the right, is believed to give important speed advantages when turning on egg-shaped tracks. It was developed by a relatively unknown jockey named Jackie Westrope. Had he 53 the speed advantage that would be provided by riding acey-deucy? No. He suffered a leg injury, which left him unable to fully bend his left knee. His 54 just happened to coincide with enhanced left-hand turning performance.
Plenty of other stories show that fresh advances can arise from error, misadventure, and also pure serendipity — a happy 55 . The time seems right for abandoning the naive notions of intelligent design and genius, and for scientifically exploring the true origins of creative behavior.

A road trip
Out of all possible road trips, the best one is by car. You finish packing, put everything inside the car, sit inside it, buckle up, look at your friend 56 (sit) next to you, smile and ... go! And then begins the most wonderful part of the road trip. It is not the place you are heading to but what you see from the opened window of the car 57 matters. The best part is when you leave your home before the dawn. Personally, 58 I look in the direction of the east, I am always amazed by how the sun informs the world about its arrival.
I love to meet the sun while driving a road trip in a car. 59 (bring) alive in the new sunlight, everything looks promising. It always seems as if it was the first time in your life that you had seen a green leaflet, the trees, 60 grew right next to your car window, and a light smiling over the nature.
Spring and autumn are two seasons of the year that are perfect for a road trip. In my opinion, spring is the most inspiring time of the year, 61 when you open the car windows, you can actually feel that the world is clean and ready for a new life. The green grass is so fresh that you can’t wait 62 (take) a deep breath. The air is filled with a fragrant smell of the plants.
A road trip in autumn is beautiful, too. The golden brush touches 63 around the gardens, the fields, the groves, the woods. In deep autumn, the whole earth 64 (cover) by colorful plants as if you were driving through a fine carpet. The air is sharp, cool and fresh. You simply put on a warmer sweater but never put the window up!
A road trip for me is the moment of communication with nature. It is a dialogue 65 the nature and me. The beauty that you observe during a car road trip purifies you, refreshing your soul and your mind!

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。
A Chair for My Mother
My mother works as a waitress in the Blue Tile Diner. After school sometimes I go to meet her there. Then her boss Josephine gives me a job too. When I finish, Josephine says, “Good work, honey,” and pays me. And every time, I put half of my money into the jar (罐子).
It takes a long time to fill a jar this big. Every day when my mother comes home from work, I take down the jar. My mama empties all her change from tips for me to count. Then we push all of the coins into the jar.
Sometimes my mama is laughing when she comes home from work. Sometimes she’s so tired she falls asleep while I count the money. Some days she has lots of tips. Some days she has only a few. Then she looks worried. But each evening every single shiny coin goes into the jar.
We sit in the kitchen to count the tips. Usually Grandma sits with us too. Often she has money in her old wallet for us. Whenever she gets a good bargain (划算的交易) on tomatoes or bananas or something she buys, she puts by the savings and they go into the jar.
When we can’t get a single other coin into the jar, we are going to take out all the money and go and buy a chair. Yes, a chair. A wonderful, beautiful, fat, soft armchair for Mama and Grandma. When Mama comes home, her feet hurt. “There’s no good place for me to rest my feet,” she says. When Grandma wants to sit back and cut up potatoes, she has to get as comfortable as she can on a hard kitchen chair.
So that is how come Mama brought home the biggest jar she could find and all the coins started to go into the jar.
Paragraph 1:
Now the jar is too heavy for me to lift down.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally we find the chair we are all dreaming of.

M:I would imagine so! It has been such a bad winter and we’ve missed too many classes. We really need to make them up.
W:I know, I know. I was just really looking forward to this vacation. The idea of the sun and the beach!
M:Oh, look, there’s Professor Hampton right now!
W:Come on, let’s go and talk to him.

【原文】W: What an interesting presentation, Daniel! Your classmates and I really enjoyed it. What inspired you to study this topic?
M: Well, my mom gave me a book called Dragons Around the World. It was a collection of dragon stories from different cultures.
W: And that gave you the idea to compare Western-style dragons with Eastern-style ones?
M: That’s right.The first thing I noticed was that, in Western stories, the dragon is often “the bad guy”. They breathe fire, steal treasures and must usually be killed by the hero.
W: Right, yes.
M: However, in the stories from most Eastern cultures, the dragon itself is a hero.
W: Exactly! They help solve problems and protect humans from natural disasters.
M: Right! They also control water, not fire.
W: That is interesting. Do you think you’ll write your end-of-term report on the same subject?
M: Yes, I think so. There’s still a lot to learn. In fact, I’m going to do some more research at the library now.
W: Great!

【原文】W: Do you still want to buy a bag for your camera?
M: Well, I’ll have to come back tomorrow. They’re having an opening sale. Is there anything in particular you are looking for?
W: Well, next week is Uncle Harold’s sixty-fifth birthday. Remember? And Aunt Grace is giving him a surprise party.
M: Oh, right. We should get him something special. Say, let’s get him a fishing pole.
W: That’s a great idea. He used to go fishing all the time. I’m sure he still does.
M: Is there a sporting goods store in the shopping center?
W: It’s upstairs. But the stores don’t open until 10:00 and it’s only 9:45, so let’s walk around for a while.
M: Sounds good. And maybe we can get a cup of coffee somewhere.

25．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“When you run with WWF’s Panda Nation, you’ll solve the biggest, toughest challenges facing the planet—things like illegal wildlife trade, deforestation, climate change and water scarcity. (当你与WWF’s Panda Nation合作时，你将解决地球面临的最大、最棘手的挑战——比如非法野生动物贸易、森林砍伐、气候变化和水资源scarcity)”中的“toughest challenges facing the planet—things like illegal wildlife trade, deforestation, climate change ”可知，此处也是地球面临的问题之一，由此猜测water scarcity指“水资源短缺”，scarcity意为“短缺”，与shortage同义。故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“We’re always looking for people who are ready to lead an environmental movement today, and who might just be leading the country tomorrow. If you think you’ve got what it takes, apply today.(我们一直在寻找那些今天准备好领导环保运动的人，以及那些明天可能领导国家的人。如果你认为你已经具备了所需的条件，今天就申请吧)”推知，本文的主要目的是邀请读者报名参加The Panda Ambassador Program项目，并尽自己的一份力量做出贡献。故选B。

28．A 29．D 30．D 31．C

30．推理判断题。由文章第四段“By breaking down each person’s speech into its spectrum (声谱) of component wavelengths, the researchers could identify the dominant frequency and the harmonics in each case. They then used machine-learning to analyse the relationships between the loudness of these harmonics and found patterns that could distinguish the cold voices from the healthy voices.(通过将每个人的语音分解为其分量波长谱，研究人员可以识别出每种情况下的主频和和声。然后，他们使用机器学习来分析这些和声的响度之间的关系，并找到了可以区分感冒声音和健康声音的模式)”可知，测试者被要求读寓言是因为可用他们的声音来分析。由此推知，这样做是为了配合该研究。故选D项。
31．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The loudness of these harmonics in speech tends to fade as they proceed up the frequency scale. The team reasoned that infection with a cold might change how this decline happened.(这些和声在语音中的响度往往会随着它们在频率范围内的上升而减弱。研究小组推断，感染感冒可能会改变这种下降的发生方式)”以及联系上下文可推知，作者想告诉我们声音随着环境的变化而变化。故选C项。

32．D 33．C 34．C 35．D

33．推理判断题。第四段提到“When the stranger entered, dog greeting behavior dropped to 4.2 and wolf to 3.5, on average, suggesting both animals made a distinction between the person they knew and the one they didn’t.”（当陌生人进来时，狗的问候行为平均下降到4.2分，狼的问候行为平均下降到3.5分，这表明这两种动物都区分了它们认识的人和不认识的人。）由此判断，当狼和狗遇到陌生人的时候，他们的分数都有所下降，尤其是狼的分数更低，说明狼会在陌生人面前会更加有压力。故选C。
34．词义猜测题。第五段提到“In addition, dogs barely paced—a sign of stress—during the test, while wolves paced at least part of the time. However, the wolves stopped pacing almost entirely when a stranger left the room and their caretaker returned.”（此外，狗在测试中几乎没有踱步——这是压力的一种表现，而狼至少在部分时间里踱步。然而，当一个陌生人离开房间，它们的管理员回来时，狼几乎完全停止了踱步。）由此判断，狼在陌生的环境和面对陌生人的时候会更加感觉到压力，但是当它熟悉的人回来之后，它就停止了踱步，说明熟悉的人的缓解了它的压力，而这个熟悉的人是带给它支持和安慰的人。故选C。


36．D 37．E 38．B 39．F 40．G

37．根据第五段“Many people believe that burnout is about an individual who needs to “figure it out”.(许多人认为，职业倦怠个体的问题，需要自己解决)”以及下句“Team structure offers critical support and leaders should create environment where team burnout is addressed. (团队结构提供了关键的支持，领导者应该创造解决团队倦怠的环境。)”可知，此处是承上启下的过渡句，过渡句是衔接了上句的“individual以及下句的leader和team”，选项E“But burnout occurs at different levels and is the result from challenges to individuals, teams and organizations.( 但是，职业倦怠会在不同的层次上发生，它是个体、团队和组织面临挑战的结果)”符合语义，故选E。
39．根据上句“Research shows a correlation between higher levels of resilience (复原力) and lower levels of burnout.(研究表明较高的复原力与低水平的倦怠有相关性)”，以及下句“But resilience looks very different now from five years ago, and my guess is that it will continue to shift.( 但如今的韧性与五年前相比已大不相同，我猜它将继续转变。)”通过转折表明复原力发生变化，那么与之相关的倦怠也会相应变化，结合本段标题“People who experience burnout are just less resilient.( 经历过职业倦怠的人韧性较差。)”可知设空处论述职业倦怠与韧性的误解。选项F“At one point, people believed resilience was established by "sucking it up", or “just staying positive"(人们一度认为，韧性是通过“忍受”或“保持积极”建立起来的。)”符合语义，故选F。
40．根据上句“If 2021 has taught us anything, it is that we cannot separate burnout from our emotions, whether they may be fear, anger, shame or guilt.( 如果说2021年教会了我们什么，那就是我们不能将倦怠与我们的情绪分开，无论是恐惧、愤怒、羞耻还是内疚。)”可知，过往的经历教会了我们倦怠与我们的恐惧，愤怒，羞耻，内疚等消极情绪紧密相关，那未来的日子，作者会鼓励我们建立积极的情绪，以此面对倦怠。选项G“And the path forward requires us to deepen the relationship with feelings of joy, passion, pride and fulfillment.(前进的道路要求我们加深与喜悦、激情、自豪和成就感的关系。)”符合语义，故选G。

41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们对这种独一无二的科学贡献的看法往往忽视了这个人之前的经验和鲜为人知的前辈们的努力。A. overlooks忽视；B. enriches丰富；C. questions质疑；D. reflects反应。由上文“Our view of such unique contributions to science often”和下文“the person’s prior experience and the efforts of their lesser-known predecessors”可知，我们认为科学贡献只属于某个或某几个人的看法往往忽视了一个人之前的经验和鲜为人知的前辈的努力，故选A。
42．考查动词短语辨析。句意：撇开达尔文和爱因斯坦这样的伟人不谈，他们的杰出贡献受到了应有的赞扬，我们认为创新更多的是一个试错的过程，前进两步有时会后退一步，也可能会向右或向左走一步或多步。A. Aiming at旨在；B. Longing for渴望；C. Holding back阻止；D. Setting aside把……放一旁。由下文“we suggest that innovation is more a process of trial and error, where two steps forward may sometimes come with one step back, as well as one or more steps to the right or left.”和上文提到的人们认为科学发现是博物学家查尔斯·达尔文和理论物理学家阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦等智力明星的天才结晶可知，作者认同达尔文和爱因斯坦的贡献得到了应有的赞扬，但是作者还认为创新需要试错，也就是说除了达尔文和爱因斯坦的成就外，还有之前前辈的经验和努力也值得赞扬，所以此处指撇开达尔文和爱因斯坦这样的伟人不谈，故选D。
43．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这种对人类创新的进化观削弱了创造性天才的观念，并承认了科学进步的累积性。A. native本地的；B. creative有创意的；C. subjective主观的；D. sensitive敏感的。由上文“This evolutionary view of human innovation”和上文提到的“the sheer genius of such intellectual stars as naturalist Charles Darwin and theoretical physicist Albert Einstein”可知，对达尔文和爱因斯坦这种天才，应该赞扬他们的贡献，但是也应该肯定前辈的经验和努力，由此可知，这种创新的进化观削弱了创造性天才的观念，故选B。

48．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们认为科学在不断发展，就像动物物种进化一样。A. struggling挣扎；B. reversing修正；C. evolving进化；发展；D. shrinking缩水。由下文“much as species of animals do”和“In biological systems, organisms may display new characteristics”可知，此处指就像动物物种进化一样，科学在不断发展，故选C。
50．考查名词词义辨析。句意：同样，思想的随机或偶然突变可能有助于为科学进步铺平道路。A. priorities优先权；B. trials实验；C. advances进步；D. obstacles障碍。由上文“In the same way, random or accidental mutations of ideas may help pave the way for”可知，思想的随机或偶然突变可能有助于为科学进步铺平道路，故选C。
53．考查动词词义辨析。句意：他是否已经预见了骑“acey-deucy”马镫位置能有速度优势？A. doubted怀疑；B. neglected忽视；C. foreseen预见；D. exceeded超过。由上文“The so-called ‘acey-deucy’ stirrup (马镫) placement, in which the rider’s foot in his left stirrup is placed as much as 25 centimeters lower than the right, is believed to give important speed advantages when turning on egg-shaped tracks. It was developed by a relatively unknown jockey named Jackie Westrope(所谓的“acey-deucy”马镫位置，即骑手的脚放在左马镫中，比右马镫低25厘米，被认为在蛋形赛道上转弯时具有重要的速度优势。它是由一位相对不知名的骑师Jackie Westrope发明的)”和下文“No. He suffered a leg injury, which left him unable to fully bend his left knee.”可知，骑师Jackie Westrope发现了这种“acey-deucy”马镫位置，但这是偶然发现的，并不是他提前能预测到的，此处提出问题：他是否已经预见了骑“acey-deucy”马镫位置有速度优势？下文对此做出否定回答，即证明了他没有预测到“acey-deucy”马镫位置有速度优势，故选C。
54．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他的动机恰好与左手转弯表现的增强相吻合。A. motivation动机；B. modification修正；C. dedication奉献；D. publication出版。由下文“just happened to coincide with enhanced left-hand turning performance.”和上文提到他因为腿部受伤，导致左膝无法完全弯曲。这使他碰巧发现了有速度优势的“acey-deucy”马镫位置，由此可知，他发明“acey-deucy”马镫位置的动机和左手转弯表现的增强相吻合，故选A。

67．Paragraph 1:
Now the jar is too heavy for me to lift down. After supper Mama, Grandma and I stand in front of the jar. “Well, I never would have believed it, but I guess it’s full,” Mama says excitedly. On my mother’s day off, we take all the coins to the bank. The bank exchanges them for ten-dollar bills. Then we take the bus downtown to shop for our chair. We shop through four stores. We try out big chairs and smaller ones, high chairs and low chairs, soft chairs and harder ones.
Paragraph 2:
Finally we find the chair we are all dreaming of. And the money in the jar is enough to pay for it. We set the chair right beside the window. Now Grandma sits in it and talks happily with people going by in the daytime. Mama sits down and watches the news on TV when she comes home from her job. After supper, I sit with her and she can reach right up and turn out the light if I fall asleep in her lap.
