In early 2018, I was training fr the Lndn Marathn—the first and nly marathn I wuld ever run in my life. I had treated myself t an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits.
At the end f my final training run—an exhausting 21 miles (34km) —I threw myself dwn n the flr the mment I gt hme nly t see my watch had failed me. Twenty-ne miles briefly flashed n the screen befre it went blank and disappeared fr ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image f me crying n my living rm flr pretty much sums up my relatinship with exercise tracking technlgy.
It can be a ttal jy t watch yur data change n running apps as yu get strnger and faster. I nce gt a kick ut f it, but at sme pint it became a stick I used t punish myself. I wuld watch my pace, cmpare it with ther peple’s r criticize myself fr nt ding it 30 secnds faster. I never really recgnized exercise tracking as a prblem. It seemed t me that tracking was the rute t self-imprvement, and the pint was t imprve, wasn’t it? The pint was t be better.
In the past year, the cncept f “being better” has taken n a different meaning. My mental health drpped, and things that were nce easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stpped meaning getting faster r strnger. It meant taking care f myself and feeling sme jy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected n what in my life made me happy and what did nt. S, I stpped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ wrth f data that was nce very imprtant t me and nw meant nthing.
What has becme very clear t me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely lve ding them. I run arund my lcal park with a silly little smile n my face. I lve it s much. But I d nt lve running quickly. I d nt like races. I d nt want t be pushed t be faster. Things I ntice abut my runs nw include: hw my legs feel and hw my mind feels afterwards-clear and fcused. I ntice dgs, the smell f the wild plants alng the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) n my face.
I am better. Or smetimes I am wrse. But either way I’m slwly pldding alng, and that’s gd enugh.
24. The authr cried after the final training run because she ________.

A. a fun hbby fr enjymentB. a strng need fr recgnitin

A. Getting pleasure ut f winning races.B. Being mre fcused n her life gal.
C. Freeing herself frm demanding tasks.D. Imprving her verall well-being.

The peple wh happen t be in a city center at any given mment may seem like a randm cllectin f individuals. But new research featuring a simple mathematical law shws that urban travel patterns wrldwide are, in fact, predictable despite lcatin.
Researchers discvered what is knwn as an inverse square relatin (平方反比关系) between the number f peple in a given urban lcatin and the distance they traveled t get there, as well as hw frequently they made the trip. It may seem intuitive (直觉的) that peple visit nearby lcatins frequently and distant nes less s, but the newly discvered relatin accurately predicts, fr instance, that the number f peple cming frm tw kilmeters away five times per week will be the same as the number cming frm five kilmeters twice a week.
The researchers analyzed data frm abut eight millin peple between 2006 and 2013 in six urban lcatins. This study fcused n lcatins and examined hw many peple were visiting, frm hw far and hw frequently. The researchers fund that all the unique chices peple make—frm drpping kids at schl t shpping-bey this inverse square law.
One explanatin fr this strng statistical patter is that traveling requires time and energy, and peple have limited resurces fr it. At the cre is the effrt that peple are willing t invest cllectively t travel t certain lcatins, trying t ptimize their days.
Understanding these patterns is imprtant nt nly fr planning the placement f new shpping centers r public transprtatin but als fr mdeling disease transmissin within cities, says Kathleen Stewart, a gegrapher and mbility researcher.
Many researchers estimate travel with “gravity mdels”, which assume that mvement between cities is prprtinal (成比例的) t their ppulatin sizes. But these mdels d nt accunt fr travel patters within cites—infrmatin that is particularly critical in dealing with disease transmissin Epidemilgist (流行病学家) Sam Scarpin says mdels based n this new finding might better track that flw.
“Thse rganizatinal patterns have really prfund (深远的) implicatins n hw COVID will spread,” Scarpin says. In a smaller rural lcatin, where many peple regularly g t the same grcery stre, the entire twn will experience sharp peaks f infectins as the virus sweeps thrugh the cmmunity. But in a bigger city, the spread takes lnger he explains, because mini epidemics can ccur in each neighbrhd smewhat separately.
28. What des the underlined wrd “ptimize” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Slw dwn.B. Keep a recrd f.
C. Think back n.D. Make the mst f.
29. Why des the authr mentin “gravity mdels” in Paragraph 6?
A. T intrduce the travel patterns within cities.
B. T stress the imprtance f tracking diseases.
C. T cmpare the urban and rural infectin rates.
D. T shw the advantage f the inverse square law.
30. Which f the fllwing can be supprted by the newly discvered law?
A. Diseases spread faster in rural areas than big cities.
B. Trip distance seldm influences peple’s travel chices.
C. Epidemics are harder t discver in big cities than in rural areas,
D. City residents are likely t make frequent trips t a distant place.

Earlier this week the nline UK supermarket Ocad tld its custmers that it had “limited ability” t deliver ice ream. Why? Because the price f natural gas has increased greatly which has hit the supply f CO2 in the UK. And that has led t a cut in the supply f dry ice that supermarkets use t keep fd cl in their delivery vans (小型货车). S n ice cream.
This mini crisis has been fairly quickly reslve, fr nw at least. Hwever, that desn’t mean yu shuldn’t wrry. This incident serves as a timely reminder f just hw reliant we are n fssil fuels. Despite ur ptimistic enthusiasm fr wind and slar pwer, ne way r anther il and gas use is sht thrugh every part f ur ecnmic and scial lives. That will be the case fr many decades t cme.
In his recently updated bk There is N Planet B, Mike Berners-Lee lays ut the challenge. When we talk abut shifting frm fssil fuels t clean energy f ne kind r anther, we aren’t discussing taking the amunt f energy we use nw and prducing that amunt in a different way. Instead, ur target is always n the mve. The mre energy we can get ur hands n, the mre we use—even if ur use f it becmes mre efficient.
Energy usage is ging t keep rising, while energy transitins (转变) tend t bth take a very lng time and never actually end. We just pile new surces n tp f ld. The wrld still uses much the same amunt f traditinal bimass (wd etc) as it did 100 years ag. We are running t stand still. This will change. But nt as fast as yu might like t think. In 2019, 33 percent f ur new pwer generatin needs were met by renewable energy. That’s a start. But 40 percent were met by natural gas.
There’s urgency here f curse—which might speed things up. But there is smething else that might slw us dwn. It didn’t take much t mve peple t fssil fuels—they are relatively easy t extract, relatively easy t transprt, hugely energy dense and efficient and, f curse, cheap. Until their externalities were understd, wh culd pssibly have bjected? Our current transitin is different: peple and cmpanies will switch nt because the new surces are easier t access, cheaper r mre energy dense but because regulatin mandates that they must.
Either way, the truth is that whether we like it r nt ur energy transitin invlves lng term reliance n fssil fuels. That means we shuld stp demlishing them. Instead, we shuld fcus n making their extractin cleaner and mre efficient while we wait fr the engineering challenges arund a renewables-led future t be slved.
If we dn’t d this—if we allw urselves t be beguiled by the idea that slar is s advanced that we n lnger need filthy fuels t have ice cream, we, will find the future held back by needlessly expensive energy—and almst certainly ice-cream free.
31. What d the first tw paragraphs mainly shw?
A. The necessity fr traditinal fuels.
B Our enthusiasm fr clean energy.
C. The seriusness f energy crisis.
D. UK’s dependence n dry ice.
32. Accrding t Mike Berners-Lee, ______.
A. we have mre types f energy n hand
B. the use f energy becmes mre efficient
C. energy transitin is far frm being realized
D. we are clser t the aim f replacing fssil fuels
33. The underlined wrd “demlising” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by ______.
A. wastingB. devaluing
C. distributingD. justifying
34. What is the writer’s attitude tward the transitin t the renewable energy?
A. Indifferent.B. Defensive.
C. Disapprving.D. Cautius.

We humans are cmparisn creatures. ____35____ This quality may have evlved as a means f helping us fit int the scial hierarchy (等级) f the cultures we inhabited. Regardless f the reasns, scial cmparisn plays a significant rle in hw we view and evaluate urselves, and hw we interact with ur wrld.
It used t be that ur primary reference f cmparisn was ur lcal cmmunities, primarily neighbrs and c-wrkers. Because we tend t gather arund thse similar t urselves in terms f educatinal level, wrk incme, and shared interests, the range f differences when we cmpared urselves t thers was fairly small. Unfrtunately, with the emergence f the Internet, we can nw cmpare urselves t literally anyne in the wrld. ____36____ What had in previus generatins been a small gap in ur cmparisns has nw becme s large and unattainable.
____37____ When s many peple that are easily discverable n the Internet seem t be s successful. famus, influential and beautiful, given ur preference t cmpare, it is difficult nt t have it influence hw we view urselves. Sadly, these cmparisns usually result in ur feeling inadequate and “less than”.
These harmful cmparisns als damage ur emtinal lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety f unpleasant and unhealthy emtins. We feel jealusy and envy fr what thers have and what we lack. ____38____
It’s ne thing t realize that yu cmpare yurself t thers. It’s anther thing t recgnize that scial cmparisn is ften crrsive (逐步侵蚀的) t yu in s many ways psychlgically and emtinally. It’s an entirely ther thing t stp yurself frm cmparing yurself t thers. ____39____
A. We are cnstantly measuring urselves against ther peple.
B. Yet it is pssible, and it is wrth the effrt fr yur mental health.
C. Thus, we are nw expsed t grups that are quite different frm us.
D. We believe that there is smething wrng with us cmpared t thers.
E. We can even feel bitterness and anger at thers fr the unfairness f it all.
F. Cmparing urselves t thers has the ptential t increase ur life experience.
G. This new level f cmparisn has huge implicatins fr ur psychlgical lives.

第一节、阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。（40、41题各2分，42题3分，43题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文, 根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Egcentrism is the inability t accurately understand any perspective ther than ne’s wn. T thse wh are egcentric, there are tw types f pinins: “mine and the wrng nes”.
Egcentrism is very unpleasant. Suffering frm it peple ften find themselves in a situatin f cnflict r lneliness because they d nt recgnize the rights f thers t their persnal feelings, desires, and interests. They als fail t lk at circumstances frm the ther persn’s side.
Humanity must vercme it t see a hlistic (全面的) picture f the wrld and bjectively assess situatins. It is essential t be a fair-minded individual since egcentrism is a quality that is nt easy t live with, making it hard fr us t interact with peple and mve frward.
Actually, vercming this disturbing quality has always been my pursuit. The main gal in my life is based n the search fr inner balance, harmny, psitivity, and the right attitude t life cases. Thus, I will be able t imprve my life and help ther peple in the practice f this aspect. Mrever, I ften remind myself t accept differences and remember that a crrect attitude t different persnalities, their preferences, and interests leads t success in any tasks.
The frmatin and develpment f a fair mind can be practiced almst everywhere. Fr example, in a grcery stre, we need t put urselves in the place f the seller’s and shuld nt immediately take ffense and argue when we are given an unripe banana r burnt bread. It is imprtant t remember that a seller is nt bliged t play alng at all; this is the same persn with his unique nature.
Nt everyne agrees with everyne else, but if yu abslutely refuse t cnsider anther persn’s perspective, that’s when egcentrism becmes a serius cncern. S why nt try t crrect this behavir and be mre fair-minded?
40. What is egcentrism?
________________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why des egcentrism ften lead t cnflicts?
________________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
Egcentrism becmes a prblem when smene desn’t agree with thers.

43. Please share ne f yur wn experiences abut yur practicing being fair-minded. (In abut 40 wrds)

I wuld watch my pace, cmpare it with ther peple’s r criticize myself fr nt ding it 30 secnds faster. I never really recgnized exercise tracking as a prblem. It seemed t me that tracking was the rute t self-imprvement, and the pint was t imprve, wasn’t it? The pint was t be better.
In the past year, the cncept f “being better” has taken n a different meaning. My mental health drpped, and things that were nce easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stpped meaning getting faster r strnger. It meant taking care f myself and feeling sme jy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected n what in my life made me happy and what did nt. S, I stpped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ wrth f data that was nce very imprtant t me and nw meant nthing.
What has becme very clear t me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely lve ding them. I run arund my lcal park with a silly little smile n my face. I lve it s much. But I d nt lve running quickly. I d nt like races. I d nt want t be pushed t be faster. Things I ntice abut my runs nw include: hw my legs feel and hw my mind feels afterwards-clear and fcused. I ntice dgs, the smell f the wild plants alng the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) n my face.
I am better. Or smetimes I am wrse. But either way I’m slwly pldding alng, and that’s gd enugh.

The peple wh happen t be in a city center at any given mment may seem like a randm cllectin f individuals. But new research featuring a simple mathematical law shws that urban travel patterns wrldwide are, in fact, predictable despite lcatin.
Researchers discvered what is knwn as an inverse square relatin (平方反比关系) between the number f peple in a given urban lcatin and the distance they traveled t get there, as well as hw frequently they made the trip. It may seem intuitive (直觉的) that peple visit nearby lcatins frequently and distant nes less s, but the newly discvered relatin accurately predicts, fr instance, that the number f peple cming frm tw kilmeters away five times per week will be the same as the number cming frm five kilmeters twice a week.
The researchers analyzed data frm abut eight millin peple between 2006 and 2013 in six urban lcatins. This study fcused n lcatins and examined hw many peple were visiting, frm hw far and hw frequently. The researchers fund that all the unique chices peple make—frm drpping kids at schl t shpping-bey this inverse square law.
One explanatin fr this strng statistical patter is that traveling requires time and energy, and peple have limited resurces fr it. At the cre is the effrt that peple are willing t invest cllectively t travel t certain lcatins, trying t ptimize their days.
Understanding these patterns is imprtant nt nly fr planning the placement f new shpping centers r public transprtatin but als fr mdeling disease transmissin within cities, says Kathleen Stewart, a gegrapher and mbility researcher.
Many researchers estimate travel with “gravity mdels”, which assume that mvement between cities is prprtinal (成比例的) t their ppulatin sizes. But these mdels d nt accunt fr travel patters within cites—infrmatin that is particularly critical in dealing with disease transmissin Epidemilgist (流行病学家) Sam Scarpin says mdels based n this new finding might better track that flw.
“Thse rganizatinal patterns have really prfund (深远的) implicatins n hw COVID will spread,” Scarpin says. In a smaller rural lcatin, where many peple regularly g t the same grcery stre, the entire twn will experience sharp peaks f infectins as the virus sweeps thrugh the cmmunity. But in a bigger city, the spread takes lnger he explains, because mini epidemics can ccur in each neighbrhd smewhat separately.
28. What des the underlined wrd “ptimize” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Slw dwn.B. Keep a recrd f.
C. Think back n.D. Make the mst f.
29. Why des the authr mentin “gravity mdels” in Paragraph 6?
A. T intrduce the travel patterns within cities.
B. T stress the imprtance f tracking diseases.
C. T cmpare the urban and rural infectin rates.
D. T shw the advantage f the inverse square law.
30. Which f the fllwing can be supprted by the newly discvered law?
A. Diseases spread faster in rural areas than big cities.
B. Trip distance seldm influences peple’s travel chices.
C. Epidemics are harder t discver in big cities than in rural areas,
D. City residents are likely t make frequent trips t a distant place.

Earlier this week the nline UK supermarket Ocad tld its custmers that it had “limited ability” t deliver ice ream. Why? Because the price f natural gas has increased greatly which has hit the supply f CO2 in the UK. And that has led t a cut in the supply f dry ice that supermarkets use t keep fd cl in their delivery vans (小型货车). S n ice cream.
This mini crisis has been fairly quickly reslve, fr nw at least. Hwever, that desn’t mean yu shuldn’t wrry. This incident serves as a timely reminder f just hw reliant we are n fssil fuels. Despite ur ptimistic enthusiasm fr wind and slar pwer, ne way r anther il and gas use is sht thrugh every part f ur ecnmic and scial lives. That will be the case fr many decades t cme.
In his recently updated bk There is N Planet B, Mike Berners-Lee lays ut the challenge. When we talk abut shifting frm fssil fuels t clean energy f ne kind r anther, we aren’t discussing taking the amunt f energy we use nw and prducing that amunt in a different way. Instead, ur target is always n the mve. The mre energy we can get ur hands n, the mre we use—even if ur use f it becmes mre efficient.
Energy usage is ging t keep rising, while energy transitins (转变) tend t bth take a very lng time and never actually end. We just pile new surces n tp f ld. The wrld still uses much the same amunt f traditinal bimass (wd etc) as it did 100 years ag. We are running t stand still. This will change. But nt as fast as yu might like t think. In 2019, 33 percent f ur new pwer generatin needs were met by renewable energy. That’s a start. But 40 percent were met by natural gas.
There’s urgency here f curse—which might speed things up. But there is smething else that might slw us dwn. It didn’t take much t mve peple t fssil fuels—they are relatively easy t extract, relatively easy t transprt, hugely energy dense and efficient and, f curse, cheap. Until their externalities were understd, wh culd pssibly have bjected? Our current transitin is different: peple and cmpanies will switch nt because the new surces are easier t access, cheaper r mre energy dense but because regulatin mandates that they must.
Either way, the truth is that whether we like it r nt ur energy transitin invlves lng term reliance n fssil fuels. That means we shuld stp demlishing them. Instead, we shuld fcus n making their extractin cleaner and mre efficient while we wait fr the engineering challenges arund a renewables-led future t be slved.
If we dn’t d this—if we allw urselves t be beguiled by the idea that slar is s advanced that we n lnger need filthy fuels t have ice cream, we, will find the future held back by needlessly expensive energy—and almst certainly ice-cream free.
31. What d the first tw paragraphs mainly shw?
A. The necessity fr traditinal fuels.
B Our enthusiasm fr clean energy.
C. The seriusness f energy crisis.
D. UK’s dependence n dry ice.
32. Accrding t Mike Berners-Lee, ______.
A. we have mre types f energy n hand
B. the use f energy becmes mre efficient
C. energy transitin is far frm being realized
D. we are clser t the aim f replacing fssil fuels
33. The underlined wrd “demlising” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by ______.
A. wastingB. devaluing
C. distributingD. justifying
34. What is the writer’s attitude tward the transitin t the renewable energy?
A. Indifferent.B. Defensive.
C. Disapprving.D. Cautius.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We humans are cmparisn creatures. ____35____ This quality may have evlved as a means f helping us fit int the scial hierarchy (等级) f the cultures we inhabited. Regardless f the reasns, scial cmparisn plays a significant rle in hw we view and evaluate urselves, and hw we interact with ur wrld.
It used t be that ur primary reference f cmparisn was ur lcal cmmunities, primarily neighbrs and c-wrkers. Because we tend t gather arund thse similar t urselves in terms f educatinal level, wrk incme, and shared interests, the range f differences when we cmpared urselves t thers was fairly small. Unfrtunately, with the emergence f the Internet, we can nw cmpare urselves t literally anyne in the wrld. ____36____ What had in previus generatins been a small gap in ur cmparisns has nw becme s large and unattainable.
____37____ When s many peple that are easily discverable n the Internet seem t be s successful. famus, influential and beautiful, given ur preference t cmpare, it is difficult nt t have it influence hw we view urselves. Sadly, these cmparisns usually result in ur feeling inadequate and “less than”.
These harmful cmparisns als damage ur emtinal lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety f unpleasant and unhealthy emtins. We feel jealusy and envy fr what thers have and what we lack. ____38____
It’s ne thing t realize that yu cmpare yurself t thers. It’s anther thing t recgnize that scial cmparisn is ften crrsive (逐步侵蚀的) t yu in s many ways psychlgically and emtinally. It’s an entirely ther thing t stp yurself frm cmparing yurself t thers. ____39____
A. We are cnstantly measuring urselves against ther peple.
B. Yet it is pssible, and it is wrth the effrt fr yur mental health.
C. Thus, we are nw expsed t grups that are quite different frm us.
D. We believe that there is smething wrng with us cmpared t thers.
E. We can even feel bitterness and anger at thers fr the unfairness f it all.
F. Cmparing urselves t thers has the ptential t increase ur life experience.
G. This new level f cmparisn has huge implicatins fr ur psychlgical lives.

阅读下面短文, 根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Egcentrism is the inability t accurately understand any perspective ther than ne’s wn. T thse wh are egcentric, there are tw types f pinins: “mine and the wrng nes”.
Egcentrism is very unpleasant. Suffering frm it peple ften find themselves in a situatin f cnflict r lneliness because they d nt recgnize the rights f thers t their persnal feelings, desires, and interests. They als fail t lk at circumstances frm the ther persn’s side.
Humanity must vercme it t see a hlistic (全面的) picture f the wrld and bjectively assess situatins. It is essential t be a fair-minded individual since egcentrism is a quality that is nt easy t live with, making it hard fr us t interact with peple and mve frward.
Actually, vercming this disturbing quality has always been my pursuit. The main gal in my life is based n the search fr inner balance, harmny, psitivity, and the right attitude t life cases. Thus, I will be able t imprve my life and help ther peple in the practice f this aspect. Mrever, I ften remind myself t accept differences and remember that a crrect attitude t different persnalities, their preferences, and interests leads t success in any tasks.
The frmatin and develpment f a fair mind can be practiced almst everywhere. Fr example, in a grcery stre, we need t put urselves in the place f the seller’s and shuld nt immediately take ffense and argue when we are given an unripe banana r burnt bread. It is imprtant t remember that a seller is nt bliged t play alng at all; this is the same persn with his unique nature.
Nt everyne agrees with everyne else, but if yu abslutely refuse t cnsider anther persn’s perspective, that’s when egcentrism becmes a serius cncern. S why nt try t crrect this behavir and be mre fair-minded?
40. What is egcentrism?
