Tyra Peralte thought keeping a diary during the pandemic (流行病) might help her sort out her messy feelings. In April 2020, the mother of two in Montclair, NewJersey, started writing frankly about the challenges of work, marriage and motherhood during a global crisis.
Peralte wanted to know how other women were doing. So she made an unusual offer. She invited women from near and far to fill the remaining lined pages of her black -and-white marbled composition notebook with their own pandemic tales. She named the project The Travelling Diary.
“I wanted an interaction that felt human,” Peralte says, “and it feels very human to read someone else’s writing.” She found her first contributor during a conference for entrepreneurs. When she mentioned the diary, a woman in North Carolina immediately said she would like to write in it.
From there, Peralte posted an article about her idea on Medium in an effort to get more women involved. So many wanted to participate that Peralte decided to create a website for people to add their names to the queue. She came up with a system: Each person gets to keep the diary for three days and fill as many pages as she wishes. Then she is responsible for mailing it to the next person, whose address Peralte provides. Each participant fills the pages with her own handwriting, and sometimes her own artwork, sharing her stories.
So far, more than 2,000 women from 30 countries have participated, some as far away as South Africa and Australia. Of course, not all those entries could fit in just one journal. More than 50 of these notebooks are currently in circulation (流通), and about 20 completed ones are back in Peralte’s possession, including the original diary with her first entry, about navigating pandemic life and reconnecting with family.
“It is beautiful to have it again and to read it,” she says. “I carry these stories with me on a daily basis.”
24．Why did Peralte set up The Travelling Diary?
A．To help those in need. B．To figure out her feelings.
C．To offer job opportunities. D．To interact with other women.
25．How did Peralte invite women to take part in the project?
A．By offering a website to sign up. B．By holding business meetings.
C．By writing letters of invitation. D．By building up a system to follow.
26．Who will keep the notebook after it is finished?
A．The one who filled in the last page.
B．The one whose story is the most attractive.
C．The one who originally set up this project.
D．The one whose handwriting is the most impressive.
27．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A．Women’s Diaries B．The Travelling Diary
C．Women, Story-tellers D．Peralte, a Creative Woman

According to Dr. John Swaddle, a professor at the Institute for Integrative Conservation at William & Mary, hundreds of millions of birds die every year from window collisions(碰撞).
However, if you put decals(贴花纸) or colorful stickers outside of your windows, the birds are more likely to see the barrier and therefore avoid it. Remember: never inside your window; always outside of your window.
“Double-glazed(双层的) windows reflect a lot of light, especially when you view them from a slight angle, as a flying bird would do,” Swaddle told Salon. He is the corresponding author of a recent study which tries to figure out how this basic reality of physics impacts on a bird’s experience as it flies near a standard window. For their experiment, researchers had birds perform repeated and controlled flight trials near windows with film(薄膜) products, BirdShades film and Haverkamp film, respectively.
“In our collision avoidance trials, BirdShades increased window avoidance by 47% and the Haverkamp increased avoidance by 39%. But neither product was effective when the films were applied to the internal surface of windows,” the authors concluded.
When breaking down the problem of avoiding window collisions from a bird’s point of view, Swaddle explained, “The light and reflected imagery from the external surface of the glass is sufficient to obscure a film or decal that is stuck to the inner surface from being seen clearly.”
If you want to protect birds from easily avoidable deaths without buying window film products, there are other solutions. Swaddle recommended “pleasing fritted glass that could be used in new construction and which is also bird-friendly”. Besides, he notes that screens can be helpful as well, not only by limiting reflectiveness but by providing birds with a cushion if they make impact. It is also possible to use everyday household objects to signal to birds that there are barriers — netting, bits of string, colorful stickers, and paint. These can all be used to this effect.
28．Which of the following can work to reduce bird window collisions?
A．Choosing double-glazed windows.
B．Avoiding opening windows at night.
C．Covering the inner windows with decals.
D．Sticking decals to the outer side of windows.
29．What did the researchers want to find in the experiment?
A．The bird-friendly film products and glass.
B．The efficient measures of collision avoidance.
C．The bird behaviors when hitting the bright window.
D．The link between light reflection and bird window collisions.
30．What does the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Protect. B．Use. C．Shade. D．Find.
31．What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A．Solutions to reducing the window cost.
B．Other ways to avoid bird collisions.
C．Bird-friendly objects to attract birds.
D．Environmentally friendly glass products.

An international team of researchers has revealed new evidence for the possible existence of liquid water beneath the south polar ice cap of Mars.
The researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, used spacecraft laser-altimeter (激光高度计) to measure the shape of the upper surface of the ice cap to identify its patterns in height. They then showed that these patterns match computer model predictions for how a body of water beneath the ice cap would affect the surface.
Their results agree with earlier ice-penetrating radar (穿冰雷达) measurements that were originally interpreted to show a potential area of liquid water beneath the ice. There has been debate among scientists over the liquid water interpretation from the radar data alone, with some studies suggesting the radar signal is not due to liquid water.
The results provide the first independent line of evidence, using data other than radar, that there is liquid water beneath Mars’ south polar ice cap.
“The combination of the new evidence, our computer model results, and the radar data makes it much more likely that at least one area of liquid water beneath the ice cap exists on Mars today, and that Mars must still be geothermally (地热) active in order to keep the water beneath the ice cap liquid.” said Professor Neil Arnold, who led the research.
Like Earth. Mars has thick water ice caps at both poles, roughly equivalent in combined volume to the Greenland Ice Sheet. Unlike Earth’s ice sheets, however, which are underlain by water-filled channels and even large lakes beneath the ice cap, the polar ice caps on Mars have until recently been thought to be frozen solid all the way to their beds due to the cold Martian climate.
The analysis revealed a 10~15 kilometre long, wave shaped surface comprising a depression and a corresponding raised area. This is similar in scale to surface areas over the lakes beneath the ice cap on Earth.
32．What is spacecraft laser-altimeter aimed to do?
A．To test chemicals in water. B．To adjust the computer model.
C．To map the surface of the ice cap. D．To measure the size of Mars.
33．How did scientists respond to the liquid water interpretation based on radar data?
A．They firmly believed it. B．They held different views.
C．They reached a conclusion. D．They ignored the practice.
34．What can we know about the ice caps on Mars from the new study?
A．They are only found at the south pole. B．They are frozen solid to their beds.
C．They are shaped by ground lakes. D．They are similar to those on Earth.
35．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．An Unexpected Field in Space Studies B．An Advanced Technique to Explore Mars
C．New Evidence for Liquid Water on Mars D．Human Optional Home in the Near Future


五、七选五
For some people, holiday travel includes more than simply getting to their destination. 36 Whether is a way to save money, or spend more time with loved ones—it’s important to keep in mind that you’re a guest in someone’s home. Even if your host in vied you to say and said that it was no trouble at all”, know that accommodating you does take time, energy and possibly money, and the least you can do is not make things harder for them. 37
Showing up un announced
This really should go without saying—and applies to any type of visit to someone’s home, any me of the year-but don’t show up at someone’s door unannounced, or assume you can stay with them without asking first. 38 But if that’s not motivation enough, consider the possibility that they may not be home, or have made other pans, and may not be able to put you up.
Ignoring house rules
39 Or perhaps they requested that you say something in a low voice after 9 p.m.? Unless you have an excuse—which you should discuss with your host—you need to follow their house rules. If they didn’t mention any when you first arrived, start that conversation yourself.
Acting like you’re staying in a hotel
When you’re an overnight guest in a friend or relative’s home, you cannot expect the service of a hotel. 40 So don’t expect someone to make your bed or cleanup after you, meals prepared for you, or to have the run of the place.
If you can follow some guest rules, you will be more popular when visiting and staying at the homes of relatives and friends.
A．Here are some things you can do for them.
B．Have you ever been asked to follow some rules?
C．It also means overnight stays with family or friends.
D．Did your host ask you to leave your outside shoes at the door?
E．Your host is doing you a favor by letting you stay in their home for free.
F．Here are a few mistakes to avoid when you’re staying in someone’s home.
G．There are many reasons not to do this out of respect for your potent l host.

The part of the environmental movement that draws my firm’s attention is the design of buildings. Today, thousands of people come to 41 building conferences, and the idea that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly 42 in years to come. Back in 1984 we discovered that most manufactured products for decoration weren’t designed for 43 use. The “energy-efficient” sealed commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s energy crisis 44 indoor air quality problems caused by materials such as paint, wall covering and carpet. So for 20 years, we’ve been looking for ways to make these materials 45   for people and the planet.
Home builders can now use materials, such as green paints, that release significantly 46   amounts of chemical compounds, which people believe don’t 47 the quality of the air.   48 , our basic design strategy is focused not simply on being “less bad” but on creating 49 healthful materials that can be either safely returned to the soil or 50 by industry again and again. For example, the world’s largest carpet manufacturer has already 51 a carpet that is fully and safely recyclable.
Look at it this way: no one 52 to create a building that destroy the planet. But our current industrial systems are basically causing these conditions, whether we like it or not. So   53 of simply trying to reduce the damage, we are 54 a positive approach. We’re giving people high-quality, healthful products and an opportunity to make choices that have a 55   effect on the world. It is not just the building industry, either. Entire cities are taking these environmentally positive approaches to design, planning and building.

九、读后续写
67．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。
Pat was the new kid in town. Her dad got a new job, so they had to move from their old home, school, friends and everything in South America to this new city. Now they were total strangers here.
Summer vacation went by while they unpacked, arranged furniture and adjusted to the new city. School was approaching. Pat dreaded it. She was not an outgoing person, so making friends was not easy for this shy and quiet girl. She was filled with fears and worries. She thought, “Would I make friends? Would I fit in? Would I survive at all in this strange new world?” But there she was, preparing for a new school full of strangers.
Here came her first day in the new school. She arrived at school on time, found her classroom and seated herself. Everything was going well until the first class when Pat’s teacher asked her to introduce herself in front of the whole class. She had prepared for it the day before, so she should have done it well. But when she uttered the first sentence, the whole class burst out laughing and began to whisper. It was then that Pat realized she talked with a very strange accent which was different from the locals. Blushing with embarrassment, she finished her introduction quickly and sat there all day long without talking with others.
After school, Pat came home crying, “It’s an awful day. All of them are disagreeable. I hate them.” After knowing what had happened in the school, Pat’s mother gently hugged her and comforted her, “Hatred is a double-edged sword that can hurt both others and yourself. Honey, try to be happy.” In order to cheer her up, Pat’s mother suggested, “How about having a party this Saturday? We haven’t had any party since we arrived here.” Party is such an appealing event for kids like Pat. Right away, she stopped crying and looked at her mother excitedly, “Oh yes! Ice cream! Cake! Red, red balloons!”
“And friends?” mom asked gently.
Hearing this, Pat sobbed again, “I haven’t got any friends here. Nothing but enemies.”
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。
“If so, let’s have an enemy party. I think it would be interesting.” Pat’s mom smiled.

On Saturday, it was sunny and all of Pat’s classmates came to the party.

【原文】
M：Hi, everyone, my name is Gray. I am the health coach of MLK health center. Here I want to talk about fitness trackers, which have been popular in some fitness community in the last few years. But now the idea of not wearing running watches is gaining popularity. Why?
If people forgot to wear the device, they were less likely to exercise, because they wouldn’t receive credit for their efforts. Another potential concern is that some people feel controlled or pressured by the devices if they didn’t achieve their goals.
Running watch-free can also be beneficial. Olympic marathoner Trevor Hofbauer made headlines for winning the 2019 Canadian Marathon Championships. He stopped tracking his pace years ago and only trains based on his overall running time.
So if you have a fitness watch, I am not saying that it is all bad. But if you find yourself being a little addictive and caring too much about what the watch says, then you may check yourself and take it off a few days a week.

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项实验，实验表明在玻璃外面贴薄膜或者贴花纸可以避免鸟撞玻璃，同时还介绍了其他几种避免鸟撞上玻璃的方法。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“However, if you put decals(贴花纸) or colorful stickers outside of your windows, the birds are more likely to see the barrier and therefore avoid it. (然而，如果你在窗外贴上贴纸或彩色贴纸，鸟类更有可能看到障碍物，从而避开障碍物。)”可知，在窗外贴上贴纸或彩色贴纸，鸟类更有可能看到障碍物，从而避开障碍物。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“He is the corresponding author of a recent study which tries to figure out how this basic reality of physics impacts on a bird’s experience as it flies near a standard window. (他是最近一项研究的通讯作者，该研究试图弄清楚这一基本物理现实如何影响鸟类在标准窗口附近飞行时的体验。)”可知，实验的目的是弄清物理现象是如何影响鸟类在靠近标准窗户时的体验的，也就是光的反射和鸟类撞窗之间的联系。故选D。
30．词句猜测题。根据第五段“When breaking down the problem of avoiding window collisions from a bird’s point of view, Swaddle explained, “The light and reflected imagery from the external surface of the glass is sufficient to obscure a film or decal that is stuck to the inner surface from being seen clearly.”(当从鸟的角度分析避免窗户碰撞的问题时，Swaddle解释道，“玻璃外表面的光线和反射图像足以obscure粘在内表面的薄膜或贴花，使其看不清。”)”可知，玻璃外表面的光线和反射图像使得看不清粘在内表面的薄膜或贴花了，所以应该是遮挡住了粘在内表面的薄膜或贴花，所以obscure的意思应该是“遮挡”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。
31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“If you want to protect birds from easily avoidable deaths without buying window film products, there are other solutions. Swaddle recommended “pleasing fritted glass that could be used in new construction and which is also bird-friendly”. Besides, he notes that screens can be helpful as well, not only by limiting reflectiveness but by providing birds with a cushion if they make impact. It is also possible to use everyday household objects to signal to birds that there are barriers — netting, bits of string, colorful stickers, and paint. These can all be used to this effect. (如果你想在不购买窗膜产品的情况下保护鸟类免受容易避免的死亡，还有其他解决方案。Swaddle推荐“令人愉悦的玻璃料，可以用于新建筑，也对鸟类友好”。此外，他指出，屏幕也很有帮助，不仅可以限制反射性，还可以在鸟类产生影响时为其提供缓冲。也可以用日常生活用品向鸟类发出有障碍物的信号——网、绳子、彩色贴纸和油漆。这些都可以用来达到这个效果。)”可知，最后一段中Swaddle推荐了避免鸟类撞窗死亡的其他几种有效方法，比如使用家里的日常物品向鸟发出信号等。故选B。

33．细节理解题。根据第三段“There has been debate among scientists over the liquid water interpretation from the radar data alone, with some studies suggesting the radar signal is not due to liquid water.(科学家们对仅从雷达数据解读液态水一直存在争议，一些研究表明雷达信号不是由液态水引起的。)”可知，仅根据雷达数据来解释火星上存在液态水一直存在争议。故选B项。
34．细节理解题。 根据第六段“Like Earth, Mars has thick water ice caps at both poles, roughly equivalent in combined volume to the Greenland Ice Sheet.(和地球一样，火星的两极也有厚厚的水冰帽，其体积总和大致相当于格陵兰冰盖。)”及最后一段“The analysis revealed a 10~15 kilometre long, wave shaped surface comprising a depression and a corresponding raised area. This is similar in scale to surface areas over the lakes beneath the ice cap on Earth.（分析显示，这是一个10~15公里长的波浪状表面，包括一个凹陷和相应的凸起区域。这与地球上冰盖下的湖泊表面面积的规模相似）”可知，火星两极的冰盖与地球上的冰盖类似。故选D项。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“An international team of researchers has revealed new evidence for the possible existence of liquid water beneath the south polar ice cap of Mars.(一个国际研究小组发现了火星南极冰盖下可能存在液态水的新证据。)”可知，本文主要介绍科学家们通过最新研究找到新证据显示火星上可能存在液态水。所以，用C项“New Evidence for Liquid Water on Mars.”作为本文的标题与文章主题相符合。故选C项。

67．One possible version:
“If so, let’s have an enemy party. I think it would be interesting,” Pat’s mom smiled. Pat looked at her mother in confusion, wondering how an enemy party could possibly be fun. But her mother continued, “Invite your classmates, including those who laughed at you today. Maybe they just need a chance to get to know you better and realize that you can be friends. It’s an opportunity to break down the walls and build bridges.” Pat pondered over her mother’s words, realizing that maybe there was a different way to approach her situation, one that involved understanding and forgiveness.
On Saturday, it was sunny, and all of Pat’s classmates came to the party. The backyard was adorned with colorful decorations, and the air was filled with laughter and excitement. As the day progressed, Pat observed her classmates interacting with one another, slowly realizing that they were not as disagreeable as she had initially thought. Conversations sparked, smiles were exchanged, and barriers began to crumble. Pat’s mom’s idea of an “enemy party” turned out to be a turning point, where enemies became acquaintances, acquaintances turned into friends, and the seeds of understanding were sown.
