阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Exercising regularly not only helps you keep slim, but also improves your overall health and well-being. Different exercises produce different results, as they focus on alternate parts of the body.There are four broad exercise categories: endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance. Many people often only focus on one exercise type, but including all four in your workout will produce better results and reduce your risk of injury.
Endurance
Endurance exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. By doing endurance exercises, you are working to keep your heart, lungs, and blood-flow system healthy while improving your total fitness.Over time these activities will make everyday activities seem easier.
Strength
If you want to build up your muscles, then strength exercises, which are also known as "resistance training", are right for you. Even the slightest increase in strength can make a huge difference in your ability to carry out daily tasks. Developing strong muscles also reduces your risk of weak bones.
Flexibility
Flexibility exercises help stretch your body's muscles. This allows for more freedom of movement for other exercises and can also improve your range of motion, posture,ability to breathe deeply, and blood flow. Also, it reduces the muscle tension caused by stress.
Balance
Balance exercises help prevent falls and are especially important to older adults, helping them stay independent. Most good balance exercises are ones that keep you constantly moving with your feet on the ground. Heel-to-toe walking and standing on one foot are simple ways to improve balance.
21. How can a person benefit most from their exercise routine?
A. By combining different exercise types together.
B. By having sufficient rest between their workouts
C. By concentrating on one training aspect at a time.
D. By increasing the frequency of their training gradually.
22. Which exercise types are most useful to improve a person's breathing function?
A. Strength and Balance. B. Flexibility and Balance.
C. Endurance and Strength. D. Endurance and Flexibility.
23. Which part of the body plays the most important role in balance-related exercises?
A. Arms. B. Legs. C. Waist. D. Neck.
B
On Nov. 7, 2020, Chris Nikic did something incredible. He became the first person with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) to complete one of the toughest athletic competitions in the world—the Ironman triathlon.
Nikic started the triathlon just before 6 a, m. on Nov. 7, entering the water in Panama City, Florida, for his swim. During the biking section his bike crashed and he skinned his knee. And during a water break, he was bitten by fire ants. But he never gave up. He finished the triathlon in 16 hours, 46 minutes and 9 seconds with just 14 minutes to spare before the cut-off time.
For two years, Nikic trained for the event, using a strategy he developed with his father which they call the “1% better each day principle.” Every day, Nikic and his father would strive to become one percent better. Nikic’s father said it works well for “a young man with Down syndrome.” On his website, Nikic outlines six strategies that helped him achieve his goal of completing the Ironman triathlon: Health (body), health (mind), friends (soul), focus on the positive, help someone else and pass it on.
Nikic originally started exercising in order to recover from ear surgery and get in shape. Now he has other goals: to live independently and one day have a big house and a nice car and to get married.
Training for the Ironman triathlon has helped make his dream come true. In fact, he recently bought a white Chevy and has been offered speaking gigs that may enable him to save up enough money to buy a house.
His next goals are to learn how to drive and he has been invited to compete in the US Special Olympics in 2022.
24. How did Chris Nikic perform in the triathlon?
A. He won the first place. B. He had to give up halfway.
C. He held on to the last. D. He finished at the cut-off time.
25. How did “1% better each day principle” affect Nikic?
A. He could live a normal life. B. He made progress day by day.
C. He recovered from ear surgery. D. He got in shape eventually.
26. Which word can best describe Nikic?
A. Unfortunate. B. Lucky. C. Strong willed. D. Talkative.
27. What can we learn from Nikic’s story?
A. Life has ups and downs. B. All is well that ends well.
C. Hardship is the best training. D. It is never too late to change.
C
Called “America’s wolf”, the red wolf is the only large predator whose historic range is found entirely within the United States, stretching from Texas to New England. But hunting gradually reduced its range, and it was declared extinct in the wild in 1980.
Recovery efforts in the wild began in 1987 on the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. In a ground-breaking successful experiment, eight captive(圈养的) wolves were released this year into North Carolina, eventually growing into a population over 100, reaching a peak of around 120 wolves in 2012. But illegal hunting and management changes by the Fish and Wildlife Service resulted in their numbers plummeting.
In the spring, conservationists celebrated a small bit of good news when four captive-born pups(幼兽) were placed into a cave and successfully adopted by a wild red wolf mother. Meanwhile, another four adults were released into the wild. The pups are thought to be still alive and healthy. But the adults didn’t go well. In the months after release, three were struck by cars and killed, and the fourth was fatally shot on private land.
To boost the population after these deaths, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced in November that it planned to release nine adult red wolves into their recovery area this winter, land within and surrounding two wildlife reserves.
The Service also recently announced it would withdraw a2O18 proposal to shrink(缩小) the red wolves’ protected area in North Carolina by 90 percent, after a lawsuit accused the agency of going against the Endangered Species Act. Ron Sutherland of the Wildlands Network says it’s crucial that the agency has abandoned this wrong-headed proposal. And yet the situation now is even more urgent than it was in 2018—this should launch the conservation community in the U. S. into crisis mode to save this species and bring it back from the extinction.
28. What does the underlined word “plummeting” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Promising. B. Declining. C. Multiplying. D. Increasing.
29. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. The released wolves lived well.
B. The population boosted after the release.
C. The red wolf faced greater threat than before.
D. The released red wolves still needed protection.
30. What would the Service do to save red wolves?
A. Shrink the red wolves’ reserves.
B. Make a proposal to protect the red wolves.
C. Put some red wolves in some specific places.
D. Force the protected area into the state of emergency.
31. What does the text focus on?
A. The protection of red wolves.
B. Challenges faced by red wolves.
C. Reasons for red wolves extinction.
D. The relationship between red wolves and humans.
D
If job seekers knew companies were using AI to fill open positions, would it stop them from applying for the job? The answer, according to a recent study, is yes — sometimes.
The researchers found that in certain instances, like the screening (筛选) of applications, participants usually accepted some degree of automation. But in other instances, like interviews, automation could stop job seekers from applying for a position.
Companies facing recent labor shortages are increasingly turning to AI as a way to facilitate and speed up the hiring process. AI can be used in tasks such as screening job candidates, checking professional licenses, and interviewing candidates.
The new research suggests that using AI in hiring could be quite opposite. For instance, in one part of the study, participants were shown fictional job postings and then asked if they intended to apply for the position. The researchers found that if the job posting said that AI was used both to screen applicants and to conduct interviews, participants’ intention to apply for the position averaged 2.77 on a six-point scale. If AI was used only for the screening process, participants’ intention to apply averaged 3.73.
In another experiment, the researchers also found that study participants saw pros and cons in the use of AI in interviewing. When told the hiring would be fully automated, some participants expected the whole hiring process to be more consistent (始终如一的) in its judgments. But others tended to believe that they had less voice in the final outcome. Overall, the study results suggest this concern tends to outweigh the appreciation of AI’s lack of bias (偏见) at the interviewing stage.
A mixed approach may be a way to get the best of both worlds. Participants may have been more open to automation earlier in the hiring process because they could see some benefits from using AI — such as less-biased decisions. But during the later stages applicants expect personal interaction, to give them an opportunity to sell themselves and to learn more about the company.
32. Why do companies increasingly turn to AI in hiring?
A. To attract more applicants. B. To boost hiring process.
C. To pick out top candidates. D. To solve labor shortages.
33. In which part do participants prefer automation?
A. Screening job candidates. B. Interviewing candidates.
C. Grading professional licenses. D. Predicting final outcomes.
34. What does the underlined part refer to in Paragraph 5?
A. Less AI involvement. B. Lack of consistent judgments.
C. Less-biased decisions. D. Lack of personal interaction.
35. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Hi-tech is a two-edged sword.
B. AI finds its way to hiring process.
C. Automation may discourage job seekers.
D A mixed approach should be adopted in hiring.
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts. However, the hard reality is that only a select few will make it. ____36____Not necessarily.
In fact, some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just as cool. One of the most interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is “chief sniffer(嗅探员)”. NASA has already hired a chief sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spacecrafts.
____37____A spacecraft is of limited size and relatively high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it. “Once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts have no way of escaping unpleasant smells,”Aldrich told The Telegraph. More importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals that could threaten astronauts' health.
Another job, the “space tour guide” , may seem a little ahead of its time - after all,what's the point of hiring a tour guide when there aren't any tourists there? But now, many private companies are starting to provide space trips, and wealthy space enthusiasts such as Justin Bieber and Sarah Brightman have already signed up for tours. ____38____
Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge of astronomy, astrophysics, geography and history to help passengers get the most out of their journey.____39____
Astronauts often spend weeks or even months in a small capsule with the same group of people,which is why a “space psychologist” is also needed to help astronauts overcome mental challenges, like feeling bored and lonely.
Rohit Talwar, chief executive of US company Fast Future Research, said, “___40___Things we've seen in the past in movies are now becoming real career opportunities. ”
A. But does that mean you'll never get the chance to work in space?
B. Modern astronauts feel less helpless when working as a group.
C. It is impossible that normal people will be able to be a space travel.
D. It may not be long before space becomes a top travel destination.
E. Tour guides also need to be good storytellers to help space travel.
F. We're crossing the boundaries between science fiction and reality.
G. Using your nose at work sounds a little strange, but the job is very important.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast(烤面包,吐司)and chicken porridge(粥). They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices(片)into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan(煎锅). Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink(水池)and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid(盖子)starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

Dear David,
How is everything going? The Listening Test is scheduled to(定于,被安排) be held twice on January 8th, 2023. With its approach, I was under growing pressure, so I'm writing to turn to you for help.
Currently, we are occupied in(=be busy in) preparing for the big test. However, the more I practice, the more mistakes I am likely to make, which bothers me a lot. Much as I practice it, it doesn't work well. Moreover, there is limited time left. Would you put forward some proposals to promote my listening? Thank you in advance.
Looking forward to your earliest response.
Yours,

【续写答案】
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. Father’s appearing was like a savior(救星)to the two children. Under the guidance of their father, they took positive actions and started all over again. They made the bread and then went on cooking porridge. Father helped them adjust the fire, which was the key to success. It was all right this time. Delicious breakfast was ready. How happy they were!
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. When their mother saw the delicious and perfect breakfast in front of her, she was very surprised. It was not only the gift, but the love of the children for her that moved her very much. The two children could finish cooking a breakfast, which she didn’t expect. The children said loudly, “Happy Mother’s Day!” Mother hugged them tightly and kissed them again and again.

W: At 9 o'clock, you have a meeting. And then you should have lunch with your business partner. Oh, you said you will buy a gift for your son today.
【原文4】W: John, pick up the package downstairs, OK? I must go to work now.
M: Oh, Mum, you know I have to do my homework now. Why not ask Lisa?
W: You are always looking for excuses. Lisa is going out for her piano class.
【原文5】M: How much are the toys?
W: We are having a sale today. The original price is 10 dollars each, but now it only costs half the price.
M: All right, I’ll take three.
【原文6】M: The traffic was really terrible this morning.
W: Why? Did anything in particular happen?
M: The car in front of me wanted to turn left. But the driver didn’t use his turn signal and stopped suddenly at the crossing. He almost caused an accident.
W: I'm glad there was no accident.
M: Me too. People should pay attention to their driving behavior on the road.
W: What do you mean?
M: Some people never use their turn signals, so others don't know what they plan to do. And some cars cut in at will.
W: Yes, these are very irresponsible acts. Some people like to drive close behind my car, which really makes me nervous.
M: They need to learn to respect other drivers and make sure of safety on the road.
【原文9】M: What's your plan for the summer holiday, Amanda?
W: I want to spend a month on my uncle's farm in New York. But my mother wishes me to go to Beijing, China.
M: Why does she want you to go to Beijing? Does she want to travel round the city with you?
W: No. My mother is from China. She wants to send me to Beijing to live with my grandmother, hoping the holiday will teach me a lot about Chinese culture.
M: Well, do you want to go there?
W: No. It's usually very hot in summer there. I just want to spend a relaxing summer at my uncle’s.
M: So what will you do?
W: I guess I'll tell my mother that I'll go to Beijing in the fall. It's usually very comfortable in Beijing then.
M: That sounds like a good idea!
W: So what's your plan for the summer?
M: I planned to go to London with some friends. But they’re not available. So I’ll just stay in Los Angeles and do some part-time work.
【原文10】What is it like to travel in space? If you have ever watched space movies, you may know something about it. Aurora Station is the world’s first space hotel. US company Orion Span built the hotel. The hotel is around 12 feet wide and 35 feet long. It plans to welcome its first guests in 2022.It will fly 320 kilometers above Earth. It can hold six people at a time. Two of them will be workers. They may be former NASA astronauts. Each trip aboard the station will last for 12 days. Guests there will be able to do many interesting things. For example, they will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours. They can take part in research experiments such as growing food in space. Later, they can bring the food back to earth as a souvenir. These are the same things as astronauts usually do. Guests can also share what they see and hear with others on Earth. They can have a video chat using a high-speed Internet connection. But each guest will have to pay at least $9.5 million. That's really a large amount of money.
