Originally it was meant to be the garden of the local police station. When she was 15, during her summer holidays, Joshi decided to do something about it. “I walked into the police station and was like, ‘Can I please clean your garden?’” recalls Joshi. “It took three or four weeks to eventually convince them that I was not going to give up halfway and leave them with more work.”The plot of land covers an area of 60 square meters, about a quarter of a tennis court. But, over the course of four Sundays in the summer, with help of local residents, Joshi did more than clear it. She replanted it with native Indian plants and trees. Joshi said, “The first day that we cleaned up I made the mistake of not wearing gloves and I was sick for two weeks.”The idea for native planting came from Joshi’s reading on the Miyawaki method of afforestation (植树造林) and the work of University of Delaware ecologist Douglas Tallamy. These both argue that planting the right trees can have a significant impact on restoring insect and animal biodiversity. The results in Mumbai were instantaneous: monkeys now hang out at the police station, and butterflies and birds have made the garden their home.After creating the garden, Joshi developed a database of 2,000 plants unique to the Indian subcontinent and last year was awarded the annual Children’s Climate prize, founded by Swedish energy company Telge Energi. Her advice for others looking to follow in her footsteps: “If you bite off more than you can chew in the beginning, you will be stuck and lose motivation,” she says. “But something small, like your neighbourhood police station, it’s very manageable.”4、What can we learn from Joshi’s words in the second paragraph?A. The work was enjoyable and rewarding.B. The garden was too large to clean.C. The cleaning was hard and dangerous.D. Joshi was sick of the cleaning work.5、What does the underlined word “instantaneous” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Dangerous. B. Profitable. C. Costly. D. Immediate.6、What can we learn from Joshi’s advice in the last paragraph?A. All roads lead to Rome.B. Time and tide wait for no man.C. The longest journey starts from the first step.D. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.7、What is the purpose of the text?A. To demonstrate the environment problems.B. To call on attention to India’s young people.C. To persuade readers to donate to a environment program.D. To advocate a teenager’s efforts in caring about the world.In a series of studies, researchers found highly trained dogs may be more successful than untrained pets in independently solving newly-presented problems.Researchers have discovered that one of the factors underlying this process may be persistence (坚持). It involves reinforcement, the principle that behaviors that are rewarded become stronger and more frequent. The other side of this is extinction, which refers to the fact that behaviors that are not rewarded grow weaker and become less likely to appear. When extinction sets in, the animal will simply quit before the problem is solved. It is possible that highly trained dogs have learned to persist and thus have developed resistance to extinction, which would make them better problem solvers.In this recent study, the researchers looked at 26 adult dogs divided into two groups, “trained dogs” and “pet dogs”. There were two tasks that the dogs were tested on. One was a social learning task where the dog had to learn to look directly into the experimenter’s eyes. Every time the dog stared at the experimenter’s face, they received a treat (reinforcement). Once the dogs were performing this task, the extinction stage began, and the staring behavior was no longer rewarded in order to see how persistent the newly learned behavior was.The second task focused on problem-solving. It involved a flat disk that had bone-shaped plastic bones. The dogs had to learn to remove the plastic bones to obtain the treat hiding under each one. After the series of rewarded trials, the extinction stage began, and no more reinforcements were provided for removing the bones.In the social learning task, the trained dogs gazed at the experimenters more than the pet dogs during extinction. While in the problem-solving task, the trained dogs picked up a larger number of bones during extinction. In other words, for dogs who had been trained, their newly learned behaviors persisted longer and were stronger than the behaviors of the pet dogs who received no training in any area.8、How does the author introduce the topic?A. By stating a fact. B. By raising a doubt.C. By making an assumption. D. By presenting a conclusion.9、Which of the following can be seen as “reinforcement”?A. Chaining a dog up while walking it every day.B. Giving a goat some grass every time it stands up.C. Putting a fish back into the pool every time it jumps out.D. Yelling at a cat every time it fails to catch a mouse.10、How can dogs benefit from training in the experiment?A. Their newly learned behaviors last longer.B. They can grow stronger than untrained dogs.C. They are more likely to live longer.D. They are better at helping their friends.11、Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. How researchers carry out animal experimentsB. Why trained dogs don’t give up easilyC. Why persistent dogs make better petsD. How to pick out a suitable pet dogSomething strange is happening to the millennial workers of America. After a year spent with their computers, they are turning over the carefully arranged chessboards of their lives and deciding to risk it all. Some are giving stable jobs up to start a new business, while others giving up the career altogether.If this movement has a battle cry, it’s “YOLO” — “you only live once”. The term is used when people are making irresponsible bets that sometimes pay off anyway. More broadly, it has come to characterize the attitude that has captured a certain type of bored office worker in recent months.“It feels like we’ve been so locked into careers for the past decade, and this is our opportunity to switch it up,” said Nate Moseley, 29, a buyer at a major clothing retailer. Mr Moseley recently decided to leave his US$130,000-a-year job. He created an Excel spreadsheet called “Late 20s Crisis”, which he filled with potential options for his next move: Take a coding class, start mining Ethereum, join a 2022 political campaign and open a tourism business. “The idea of going right back to the pre-Covid set-up sounds so unappealing after this past year,” he noted. “If not now, when will I ever do this?”It’s possible that some of these YOLOers will end up back in stable jobs if they spend through their savings, or their new jobs fail. But an adventurous spirit seems to be infecting even the kinds of risk-averse overachievers who typically hold on to the career ladder.One executive at a major tech company said she and her husband had both been discussing quitting their jobs. The pandemic, she said, had taught them that they’d been playing it too safe with their life choices, and missing out on valuable family time. The executive then sent me a quote from the Buddha about impermanence, and the value of realizing that nothing lasts forever. Or, to put it in slightly earthier terms: YOLO.12、What strange things are US millennial workers doing?A. They prefer doing work online. B. They are taking more risks.C. They enjoy playing chess more. D. They are making extra money.13、What is the purpose of inventing the term “YOLO”?A. To encourage people to take brave moves.B. To stop people making silly decisions.C. To cover up a person’s past failure.D. To gain trust from other people.14、Why did Nate Moseley leave his previous job?A. It didn’t pay well enough. B. The business was in a crisis.C. He missed the pre-Covid set-up. D. He was eager for new changes.15、What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?A. The bad effect of the pandemic.B. The significant influence of YOLO.C. The potential danger of changing jobs.D. The future development of different careers.二、七选五16、Listening to music perhaps is not the most obvious choice of relaxation. ①_________ The songs with 50 to 80 beats per minute allow the brain to learn and remember new facts more easily. Dr Emma Gray at the British CBT&Counselling Service in London said emotive pop and rock songs can produce a heightened state of excitement. The state is likely to improve creative performance in subjects such as English, Drama and Art. She believes students, who listen to classical music while they study, do better in math exams. ②_________Dr Gray’s research to examine the effect music has on studying found it important to choose the right music for the topic a person is studying. She said students, who listen to classical music with 60 to 70 beats per minute while they study, score on average 12 percent more in their math exams. ③_________ Dr Gray explained the left side of the brain is used to process information and solve problems. ④_________ The research found songs like We Can’t Stop by Miley Cyrus or Mirrors by Justin Timberlake develop logical thoughts and help students to learn and recall new facts.Dr Gray said, “Music has a positive effect on the mind and listening to the right type of music can actually improve studying and learning. ⑤_________ Indeed, students who listen to music can actually do better than those who don’t.”A. Music can put you in a better state of mind to learn.B. Definitely music can not give you an edge over others.C. In fact, music plays an important role in medical treatment.D. Those are key skills in Science, Humanities and Languages.E. Moreover, listening to music while revising makes students smarter.F. Nevertheless, one clinical (临床的) psychologist believes pop songs do help us in learning.G. This is because the rhythm in classical music helps students study longer and keep more information.三、完形填空（15空）Wills was a gardener. He was always active and never lazy. 1 he was honest.

Although Harry always did his best, he was not able to afford a car. He used his motorbike to deliver orders and usually it was convenient except for severe weather conditions.One day, he was trying to get off the highway when he saw an old beggar trying to cross the road. He was weak and looked cold in his dirty jacket. The honks (鸣笛) of cars echoed as they passed him, and the man backed away with fear. If that kept going, someone would run over the man, so Harry stopped to help him cross.Harry grabbed the man’s arm to guide him and started leading him through it. Luckily, they reached the other side after a few minutes, and the old beggar smiled brightly at him. “Thank you so much, young man. I can’t believe I finally crossed. Can you tell me your address? I want to send a thank-you gift.” the older man said, reaching for Harry.“Oh, that’s not necessary.” Harry said and straightened his motorbike to get back on it. “Please. I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t repay this kind gesture,” he insisted, and Harry nodded, telling him his address. Still, he didn’t expect anything from this poor older man. “Thank you again!” the senior beggar waved as Harry rolled away to continue working.Harry lived in a nice neighborhood but because the pandemic cost him his job, and now food delivery was his entire livelihood. Some days he had to work 18 hours to make ends meet. He was his children’s only parent because his wife had abandoned them long ago, and Harry was determined to build a promising future for them, even if he didn’t have a car to make those deliveries properly.

(几个世纪前，古玛雅文明就是在这里繁荣起来的)”可知，古玛雅文明曾在这里繁荣，因此如果游客对玛雅历史感兴趣，可以去这个国家公园。故选A项。2、答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据本文关于Guatemala City的介绍段最后一句“Here you will be able to spend a couple of hours appreciating the incredible and comprehensive collection of Mayan as well as colonial art. (在这里，你可以花几个小时欣赏玛雅人和殖民地艺术的难以置信而全面综合的收藏品)”可知，这个地方有很多艺术作品，因此对热爱艺术的人，这是旅游绝佳目的地。故选B项。3、答案：C解析：推理判断题。根据本文关于Acatenango Volcano的介绍段第二句“The hike to the summit of this volcano is one of the toughest, yet most popular, in Guatemala. (攀登这座火山的顶峰是Guatemala最艰难但也是最受欢迎的徒步旅行之一)”可知，攀登该火山顶峰是最艰难，也是最受欢迎的徒步旅行，因此可推测这也是该火山最特殊的地方。故选C项。4、答案：C解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“Joshi said, “The first day that we cleaned up I made the mistake of not wearing gloves and I was sick for two weeks.”(乔希说：“我们打扫的第一天，我犯了一个错误，没有戴手套，我病了两个星期。”)”可推断，清洁工作既辛苦又危险。故选C。5、答案：D解析：词句猜测题。根据划线词前句“These both argue that planting the right trees can have a significant impact on restoring insect and animal biodiversity. (他们都认为，种植合适的树木可以对恢复昆虫和动物的生物多样性产生重大影响。)”和后半句“monkeys now hang out at the police station, and butterflies and birds have made the garden their home.(现在猴子在警察局闲逛，蝴蝶和鸟类把花园当成了家。)”可知，种植合适的树木可以对恢复昆虫和动物的生物多样性产生重大影响的效果是立竿见影的。所以instantaneous为“瞬间的；即刻的”之意。故选D。6、答案：C解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Her advice for others looking to follow in her footsteps: “If you bite off more than you can chew in the beginning, you will be stuck and lose motivation,” she says.   “But something small, like your neighbourhood police station, it’s very manageable.”(她对那些想要追随她脚步的人的建议是：“如果一开始你贪多嚼不烂，你就会被困住，失去动力。但一些小事情，比如你的社区警察局，是很容易处理的。”)”可知，乔希认为改善环境要从小事做起。所以“The longest journey starts from the first step.(千里之行始于足下。)”最能概括乔希的建议。故选C。7、答案：D解析：推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了阿迪亚·乔希为改善环境所作的努力。从而推断，本篇文章的目的是提倡青少年努力关心世界。故选D。8、答案：D解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“In a series of studies, researchers found highly trained dogs may be more successful than untrained pets in independently solving newly-presented problems.(在一系列研究中，研究人员发现，在独立解决新出现的问题方面，训练有素的狗可能比未经训练的宠物更成功)”可知，第一段陈述一项研究结果，即在独立解决新出现的问题方面，训练有素的狗可能比未经训练的宠物更成功，接着文章开始解释这一现象的原因。由此推知，作者通过提出一个实验结论来引起文章主题的。故选D。9、答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“It involves reinforcement, the principle that behaviors that are rewarded become stronger and more frequent.(它包括强化，原则是得到奖励的行为变得更强大和更频繁)”可知，“强化”是指在得到奖励后，行为会变得更强大和更频繁。由此推知，B项“每次山羊站起来的时候给它一些草。”属于强化，故选B。10、答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While in the problem-solving task, the trained dogs picked up a larger number of bones during extinction. In other words, for dogs who had been trained, their newly learned behaviors persisted longer and were stronger than the behaviors of the pet dogs who received no training in any area.(在解决问题的过程中，受过训练的狗在灭绝的过程中捡起了更多的骨头。换句话说，对于经过训练的狗来说，它们新学会的行为比那些没有接受任何领域训练的狗持续时间更长，行为也更强烈)”可知，实验中接受过训练的狗们新学会的行为持续的时间更长。故选A。11、答案：B解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In a series of studies, researchers found highly trained dogs may be more successful than untrained pets in independently solving newly-presented problems.(在一系列研究中，研究人员发现，在独立解决新出现的问题方面，训练有素的狗可能比未经训练的宠物更成功)”和第二段中“Researchers have discovered that one of the factors underlying this process may be persistence (坚持)... It is possible that highly trained dogs have learned to persist and thus have developed resistance to extinction, which would make them better problem solvers.(研究人员发现，这个过程背后的因素之一可能是持久性……训练有素的狗可能已经学会了坚持，从而产生了对灭绝的抵抗力，这将使它们成为更好的问题解决者)”和下文描述的实验过程可知，研究人员发现，在独立解决新出现的问题方面，训练有素的狗可能比未经训练的宠物更成功。这是因为训练有素的狗可能已经学会了坚持。文章主要分析了其原因——为什么训练有素的狗不会轻易放弃。由此可知，B项“为什么训练有素的狗不会轻易放弃”适合做文章标题。故选B。12、答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Something strange is happening to the millennial workers of America. After a year spent with their computers, they are turning over the carefully arranged chessboards of their lives and deciding to risk it all. Some are giving stable jobs up to start a new business, while others giving up the career altogether.(奇怪的事情正在发生在美国千禧一代的工人身上。在与电脑相处了一年之后，他们正在审视自己精心安排的人生棋盘，并决定冒险一试。一些人放弃稳定的工作去创业，而另一些人则干脆放弃职业)”可知，美国千禧一代所做的奇怪的事情是他们正在冒更大的风险。故选B。13、答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“If this movement has a battle cry, it’s “YOLO” — “you only live once”. The term is used when people are making irresponsible bets that sometimes pay off anyway.(如果这个运动有一个口号，那就是“YOLO”——“你只活一次”。这个术语用于人们不负责任的押注，有时无论如何都会得到回报)”可知，发明“YOLO”这个词的目的是鼓励人们勇敢行动。故选A。14、答案：D解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中““It feels like we’ve been so locked into careers for the past decade, and this is our opportunity to switch it up,” said Nate Moseley, 29, a buyer at a major clothing retailer.( 29岁的内特·莫斯利是一家大型服装零售商的采购员，他说，“感觉我们在过去十年里一直被职业束缚着，现在是我们改变职业的机会。”)”以及““The idea of going right back to the pre-Covid set-up sounds so unappealing after this past year,” he noted. “If not now, when will I ever do this?”(他指出：“在过去的一年里，直接回到covid - 19之前的想法听起来太没有吸引力了。如果不是现在，我什么时候会这么做?”)”可知，内特·莫斯利辞职是因为他渴望新的变化。故选D。15、答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“One executive at a major tech company said she and her husband had both been discussing quitting their jobs. The pandemic, she said, had taught them that they’d been playing it too safe with their life choices, and missing out on valuable family time. The executive then sent me a quote from the Buddha about impermanence, and the value of realizing that nothing lasts forever. Or, to put it in slightly earthier terms: YOLO.(一家大型科技公司的高管表示，她和丈夫都在讨论辞职。她说，疫情告诉他们，他们在生活选择上太过谨慎，错过了宝贵的家庭时间。这位高管随后寄给我一段佛祖的话，说的是无常，以及认识到没有什么是永恒的价值。或者，用更接地气的术语来说：YOLO)”可推知，作者在最后一段想表达YOLO的重大影响。故选B。16、答案：①-⑤FAGDE解析：本文是篇议论文。文章主要谈论了听音乐对大脑有积极的影响，对学生的学习也有促进和提高作用。①上一句“Listening to music perhaps is not the most obvious choice of relaxation.”提到了“听音乐可能不是最明显的放松方式”，而下一句“The songs with 50 to 80 beats per minute allow the brain to learn and remember new facts more easily.（每分钟50到80拍的歌曲能让大脑更容易学习和记忆新知识。）指出了音乐的功效，因此空处应为转折关系的语句；选项F中的“Nevertheless”(然而）符合语意，同时F指出“一个临床心理学家相信流行歌曲确实有助于我们学习”，与下一句衔接合理。故选F。②由前文“can produce a heightened state of excitement. ”（可以产生一种高度兴奋的状态）和“The state is likely to improve creative performance in subjects ”（这个状态可能会提高在一些学科上创造性表现）可知，音乐能够产生一种高度兴奋的状态，而这种状态可能会有助于提高某些学科的成绩；上一句“She believes students, who listen to classical music while they study, do better in math exams.”（她相信那些边学习边听古典音乐的学生会在数学考试中取得更好的成绩。）以数学为例，提出学习时听古典音乐的学生数学考试成绩会更好，那么原因应该就是音乐能够让人处于一个更好的、利于学习的状态中；选项A（音乐可以让你在一个更好的心态去学习。）符合语意，衔接合理。故选A。③上一句“She said students, who listen to classical music with 60 to 70 beats per minute while they study, score on average 12 percent more in their math exams.”（她说，那些在学习时听每分钟60到70拍的古典音乐的学生，在数学考试中平均要高出12%。）提到了听着古典音乐节拍学习的学生，数学成绩要更好一些，选项G（这是因为古典音乐的节奏有助于学生学习更长时间，记住更多的信息。）中就指出了原因就是古典音乐的节拍有助于学生的学习，衔接合理。故选G。④上一句“Dr Gray explained the left side of the brain is used to process information and solve problems. ”（格雷博士解释说，左脑用于处理信息和解决问题。）提到了“process information and solve problems”，因此空处应承接前文，讲述处理信息和解决问题的能力的作用。选项D.“这些都是科学，人文和语言的关键技能。”选项D中的“Those”指前文的“process information and solve problems”符合语境，与上一句衔接合理。故选D。⑤上一句“Music has a positive effect on the mind and listening to the right type of music can actually improve studying and learning. ”（音乐对心灵有积极的影响并且听正确类型的音乐事实上可以改善学习和理解。）提到了“音乐对大脑有积极的影响，听正确类型的音乐能够促进学习”，而下一句“Indeed, students who listen to music can actually do better than those who don’t.”（实际上，听音乐的学生比不听音乐的学生做得更好。”）又强调了“听音乐的学生事实上比不听音乐的表现的更好”，所以空处应该还是在讲述听音乐对学生学习的好处，因此选项E.“此外，复习时听音乐能让学生更聪明。”进一步表达了听音乐对学生学习的好处，符合语境。故选E。17、答案：A解析：考查短语词义辨析。句意：最重要的是，他很诚实。A.

Why?” Harry stumbled through questions as he approached the old man. The old man explained that his wife had left him with their only son when his company went bankrupt.

Please, accept it!”, the old man insisted. Paragraph 2:The sincerity in the old man’s face couldn’t be denied. Harry swallowed thickly at the moisture gathering in the old man’s eyes and finally nodded. “Thank you,” he said gratefully and hugged the old beggar. “How about some dinner?”, Harry offered, brightening the mood. They had dinner and a wonderful time. The next day, Harry delivered everything in the new car and got home early to spend more time with his kids and actually enjoyed himself. He invited the old man to come every Friday for a special dinner, and he became like a member of their family — a family who valued each other after anything money could buy.
