Farmers and runners have a lot in common. There is the drive to struggle in tough conditions. There is the ability to do hard labor, outside in any condition. There is also the restlessness, which, however, might be unique to Elle Purrier St. Pierre, a farmer and a professional runner, who admits she has a tough time sitting still, as a result of her growing up on a dairy(奶制品)farm, where she developed a working attitude that is hard to change. "Cows need to be fed; they need to be milked. And if something breaks, you have to figure out a way to fix it, and you have your responsibilities no matter what," she says. "That attitude really helps me in my career now."
Purrier St. Pierre will run for Team USA in the Olympic Games in Tokyo this year, where she’ll compete in the 1,500-meter run. In February 2020, she broke the American record for fastest indoor mile, with a time of 4:16.85. A year later, she broke the American record for the indoor two-mile, at 9:10.28. And sure, she trains hard, and is diligent and naturally athletic. But according to Purrier St. Pierre, farming is what initially set her up for success on the track.
"Runners and farmers are similar in their lifestyle. It’s just something that they do every single day. They’re kind of addicted," says Furrier St. Pierre. "It’s just who you are."
While farming is a central part of who Furrier St. Pierre is, running is a more recent addition. She started running in high school, despite the school not actually having a track. Instead, she trained on the dirt roads near her farm or the mountain biking trails that surround the hilly town. They proved to be good training grounds. It was in college that she started to identify as a runner and pursue it as a career. Now, running is what she’s known for, and there are high hopes for her to bring home a medal from Tokyo.
Whatever happens at the games, Furrier St. Pierre is excited to come home to the support of her husband, who is unsurprisingly, also a dairy farmer. As much as running is her life and career at this moment, Furrier St. Pierre keeps one eye on her future, and that’s on the farm.
"I am such a homebody and very true to my roots. I’ll always be a farmer. I’m pursuing this career right now, as a runner, but I’m still very much a farmer."
4．What does Elk Purrier really mean by what she says in the first paragraph?
A．Life on the dairy farm is boring. B．Farming is actually too much work.
C．Her time spent on running is limited. D．It’s hard for her to stop moving around.
5．Which of the following is what Elle Furrier has achieved?
A．Winning the 1,500-meter run in America.
B．Setting two American records in running.
C．Winning the 1,500-meter run at the Olympics.
D．Setting a record for the indoor two-mile in Tokyo.
6．What does the author think of the surroundings for Elle Furrier’s running when she was a high school student?
A．Beneficial. B．Unsatisfactory. C．Beautiful. D．Unique.
7．What kind of person is Elle Furrier mainly described as in the text?
A．An athlete who devotes herself to sports.
B．An athlete who has made great achievements.
C．An athlete who combines running with farming.
D．An athlete who prefers to be an ordinary farmer.

We’ve been hearing for decades about the complex intelligence of plants; but a new study, conducted by researchers at the University of Missouri, managed to figure out one new important element: plants can tell when they’re being eaten, and they don’t like it.
The word “intelligence”, when applied to any non-human animal or plant, is imprecise and sort of meaningless: research done to determine “intelligence” mostly just aims to learn how similar the inner workings of another organism is to a human thought process. But these studies do give us insight into how other organisms think and behave, whatever “think” might mean.
The researchers were seeking to answer an unusual question: does a plant know when it’s being eaten? To do that, the researchers had to first make a precise version of the vibrations (振动) that a caterpillar (毛虫) makes as it cats leaves. The theory is that it’s these vibrations that the plant can somehow feel or hear. In addition, the researchers also came up with other vibrations the plant might experience, like wind noise.
This particular study was on the thale cress. It actually produces some mustard oils (芥子油), which are mildly poisonous when eaten, and sends them through the leaves to stop caterpillars. And the study showed that when the plants felt or heard the vibrations made by caterpillars, they sent out extra mustard oils into the leaves. When they felt or heard other vibrations? Nothing. It’s a far more dynamic defense than scientists had realized: the plant is more aware of its surroundings and able to respond than expected.
There’s more research to be done; nobody’s quite sure by what mechanism the plant can actually feel or hear these vibrations. But it’s really promising research; there’s even talk of using sound waves to encourage crops to, say, grow faster, or send out specific defenses against attacks. Imagine knowing that a frost is coming, and being able to encourage plants to fruit faster by simply blasting them with music. That’s the kind of crazy sci-fi future this indicates.
8．What does the underlined part “other organisms” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Intelligence of plants. B．Non-human living things.
C．Human thought processes. D．The inner workings of plants.
9．What is the role of mustard oils produced by the thale cress?
A．Keeping the plant’s surroundings safe. B．Acting as defenses to stop caterpillars.
C．Making the plant aware of the vibrations. D．Sending warnings against caterpillars’ coming.
10．What does the underlined word “Nothing” in Paragraph 4 indicate?
A．The plants failed to identify other vibrations.
B．The plants sent out more mustard oils into the leaves.
C．The plants could identify vibrations from caterpillars.
D．The plants prevented caterpillars from eating the leaves.
11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The plans for the study. B．The problems with the study.
C．The significance of the study. D．The achievements of the study.

When children complain "It’s not fair!" they’re not just doing it to be annoying—their brains prefer equality in the doling out of everything from candy to money.
Researchers at California Institute of Technology used an MRI to look at how the brain processes rewards. They were looking at how the brain reacts to "inequality aversion", or not liking it when things aren’t fair.
What they found was that the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and ventral striatum-both associated with reward in the brain-reacted strongly to inequality even when the inequality was in their favor.
"It could have worked out in the opposite way, such that these reward processing regions might only have responded in a self-interested way and the reason that people showed inequality aversion in the lab is because they wanted to appear fair but in reality they only cared about themselves," says Tricomi, a professor of psychology.
The researchers gave some participants $50 while others began with nothing. Then, while they were in the MRI, they were presented with a series of possible money transfers. Sometimes they would be given more money; sometimes another person would get more. As the subjects thought about this money transfer, the researchers looked to see how their brains reacted.
As they’d expected, people who started out "poor" in the experiment had the strongest brain reaction when they were given money, and didn’t really react when money went to the "rich" person.
But in a surprise finding, the "rich" participants reacted just as strongly to the "poor" person getting money as they did when they themselves got money.
"Their brains weren’t simply wired for self-interest, but for fairness all around," says Tricomi.
12．How do people with inequality aversion react?
A．They dislike rewards. B．They prefer equality.
C．They prefer inequality. D．They hope to get rewards.
13．What was the purpose of the money transfers in the experiment?
A．To increase inequality. B．To reduce inequality.
C．To create a fair situation. D．To create an unfair situation.
14．What do we know about the people who started out "poor" in the experiment?
A．They were given no money at first. B．They were given little money at first.
C．They were given no money all the time. D．They were given little money all the time.
15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Our Brains Dislike Inequality B．Our Brains Prefer Having Less
C．Our Brains Respond Strongly to Money D．Our Brains Respond Differently to Money


二、七选五
Many weight loss programs seem attractive to people who are just trying to lose weight.16．For most people who are overweight, the results are so minimal(微小的)that they will give up long before achieving any realistic results. You lose weight for a while, only to gain back more weight when you stop your weight loss program. This is because such programs are not natural, and that’s why the "failure rate" is over 98%. Isn’t there a natural weight loss solution? Well, the only way to lose weight naturally is the good old-fashioned way.17．
18．By reducing portion(一份)sizes, we can lose weight without changing the foods we eat. Try using a smaller plate, which will make portions look larger. When dining out, ask for a to-go(外卖)box before you start eating, and pack away half of your meal for later.
You can lose weight naturally by making sensible substitutions in your cooking and meal choices.19．For example, try substituting low-fat salad dressings; many taste just as good, if not better, than their hi-calorie cousins. When cooking, use fat-free cooking spray on your pans instead of butter or fat.
A sure way of achieving natural weight loss is to increase the amount of exercise you get every day. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean spending hours at the gym or in front of a weight loss video. Increase your exercise levels naturally by walking or biking short distances instead of driving, by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or by washing your car by hand instead of running it through the automat. There are even exercises that you can do while sitting at your desk.20．
Actually only natural weight loss can be permanent. It may help to improve your overall fitness, and decrease your risk of falling victim to diseases caused by overweight.
A.It includes proper diet and frequent exercise.
B.Often times, we eat far more than we’d actually need.
C.However, they usually turn out to be practically useless.
D.Meanwhile, you can preserve flavor while enjoying weight loss.
E.As a result, you don’t need much exercise while trying to lose weight.
F.Eating too much unhealthy food is a common cause of gaining weight.
G.These activities can burn extra calories without taking up too much time.

【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国退休教师埃斯特·斯纳德，总是挑选一些她认为对学生有好处的书，并把它们寄到她所执教的中国大学，退休时，她捐献英文出版读物约有1200多本。
41．
考查形式主语。句意：美国退休教师埃斯特·斯纳德说，离开这所她执教了19年多的中国大学很难，但把1200多本书留给学生是一个很容易的决定。分析句子可知，空处需要填入代词it作句子的形式主语，真正的主语是to leave the Chinese university she had taught at for more than 19 years。故填it。
42．
考查名词。句意：美国退休教师埃斯特·斯纳德说，离开这所她执教了19年多的中国大学很难，但把1200多本书留给学生是一个很容易的决定。分析句子可知，空处需要填入decide的名词形式decision作表语，由形容词easy修饰。故填decision。
43．
考查时态。句意：当她向学生们挥手告别时，她不禁感到悲伤。学生们不仅花了大量的时间学习她教的课程，还在她的客厅里阅读。分析句子可知，空处需要填入spend的谓语动词形式，且根据句意，空处动作“much of their time not only studying the courses she taught, but also in her living room reading.”发生在“as she waved goodbye to the students”之前，为“过去的过去”，用过去完成时，即had spent。故填had spent。
44．
考查非谓语动词。句意：当她向学生们挥手告别时，她不禁感到悲伤。学生们不仅花了大量的时间学习她教的课程，还在她的客厅里阅读。not only……but also……表示递进关系，因此空处需要用reading，与前面的studying保持一致，且涉及固定搭配spend time in doing，表示“花时间做”。故填reading。
45．
考查名词性物主代词。句意：当她开始在大学工作时，她发现学生们没有多少英语书可以读，她每周三下午在她大学提供的公寓的客厅里给他们看她的书。分析句意可知，空处表示“她自己的书”，因此空处需要填she的名词性物主代词hers作made的宾语。故填hers。
46．
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：当她开始在大学工作时，她发现学生们没有多少英语书可以读，她每周三下午在她大学提供的公寓的客厅里给他们看她的书。此句涉及which引导的非限制性定语从句，which代替apartment充当从句主语，根据句意，时态为一般过去时，空处与主语之间是被动关系，因此空处需要填一般过去时的被动语态，且与主语the apartment保持主谓一致，用单数。综上，填was provided。故填was provided。
47．
考查连词。句意：每次暑假回美国，她总是挑选一些她认为对学生有好处的书，并把它们寄到她的中国地址。分析句意可知，she always chose some more books that she thought would be good for her students和shipped them to her Chinese address为并列关系，所以空处需要填连词and。故填and。
48．
考查副词。句意：她的藏书逐年增加，令人惊讶的是，在她离开之前，她的藏书已经超过1200本英文出版物。分析句子可知，空处需要填入amaze的副词形式amazingly作状语，表示“令人惊讶的是”，修饰it had over 1,200 English publications before she left。故填amazingly。
49．
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：“埃斯特图书馆”一直在斯奈德的公寓里，直到她教书的最后一年，令人惊讶的是它被搬到了英语系，从那时起由学生志愿维护。分析句子可知，此句涉及非限制性定语从句，先行词为her last year，表时间，从句缺时间状语，所以空处需要填入关系副词when。故填when。
50．
考查不定式。句意：“埃斯特图书馆”一直在斯奈德的公寓里，直到她教书的最后一年，令人惊讶的是它被搬到了英语系，从那时起由学生志愿维护。分析句子可知，空处为固定搭配volunteer to do，表示“自愿做”。所以空处要填入maintain的不定式形式to maintain，作volunteering的宾语。故填to maintain。

【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。主要说明了作者和父亲都喜欢音乐，音乐能让父亲在一天的工作后放松。而作者也被认为是学校最好的小提琴手之一，作者还曾经邀请过父亲去学校音乐节听自己演奏。
【详解】
1.考查代词。句意：我父亲和我有一个共同点：我们都是音乐爱好者。此处指作者和父亲两个人“都”，应用代词both；all用于三者或三者以上。故all改为both。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意：我父亲喜欢唱歌，也喜欢听音乐。短语love doing sth.，表示“喜欢做某事”。故sing改为singing。
3.考查代词。句意：每天早上，他都会去附近的公园练习唱歌。此处指作者的父亲，应用代词he。故they改为he。
4.考查句子结构。句意：晚上，他通常和我妈妈一起享受音乐。此处“he usually enjoys music with my mother”为主谓宾结构，不需要when。故去掉when。
5.考查代词。句意：他说音乐使他在一天的工作后放松。此处作宾语，表示“他”应用him。故himself改为him。
6.考查冠词。句意：不像我父亲，我喜欢拉小提琴。表示“拉小提琴”短语为play the violin。故a改为the。
7.考查名词的数。句意：我被认为是我们学校最好的小提琴手之一。violinist为可数名词，此处为“one of+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”结构。故violinist改为violinists。
8.考查时态。句意：我还记得我曾经邀请我的父亲去我学校的音乐节，我在那里演奏了一曲美丽的音乐。根据上文once可知，描述过去发生的动作，invite应用一般过去时。故invite改为invited。
9.考查介词。句意：我还记得我曾经邀请我的父亲去我学校的音乐节，我演奏了一曲美丽的音乐。结合句意表示“一曲”短语为a piece of。故piece后添加of。
10.考查形容词。句意：当我在弹奏的时候，我可以看到他是多么的骄傲。此处感叹表语，应用形容词proud。故proudly改为proud。
52． My Favorite Chinese Idiom
My favorite Chinese idiom is shu neng sheng qiao, which means if you want to master a skill, you need to exercise a lot to achieve it. It equals the English proverb: Practice makes perfect.
The idiom is of paramount significance to me as it has been inspiring me to achieve great success. I used to get poor marks in math exams. It was my math teacher who told me “Practice makes perfect!” So I did a lot of practice and my math is getting better and better. Later I have always kept the proverb in mind and put it to use.
Such is my favorite Chinese idiom, a simple but powerful one.
