As 17-year-old Norwood drove through St. Peters-burg, Florida, last February, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached a crossing, another car T-boned them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.
As smoke rose from the other car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” Shaken, but otherwise OK, she crawled (爬行) out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back to the car and found Simmons passed out in the back seat. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out, avoiding the broken glass as best she could. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.” Nothing. “I put my head against her chest.” No sign of life. “That’s when I started CPR (心肺复苏术).”
Had the accident happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do. But Norwood, who wants to pursue a career in medicine, had earned her CPR certificate just the day before. Kneeling on the lawn and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she’d learned. She started pumping Simmons’s chest and breathing into her friend’s mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response. And then, after the 30th try, Simmons began coughing and gasping for air. The CPR had worked! Soon, the ambulance arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital, where she received treatment for a cut in her forehead. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I wasn’t shocked,” Simmons told CNN. “She will always help any way she can.”
24. What happened to Norwood’s car in Florida last February?
A. It lost its way at a crossing.
B. It crashed into a nearby building.
C. It was hit by another car from the side.
D. It stopped in St. Peters- burg as planned.
25. Why did Norwood go back to the car?
A. To call for help. B. To check the car.
C. To put out the fire. D. To rescue her friend.
26. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Norwood was a certificated on- the- job doctor.
B. Simmons didn’t came to herself after the CPR.
C. Norwood learned how to perform CPR recently.
D. Simmons was surprised to be saved by Norwood.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Norwood?
A. Calm and dependable. B. Friendly and selfless.
C. Honest and responsible. D. Helpful and sympathetic.
Generation Z is different. As a whole, Americans born between the late 1990s and early 2000s are less likely to have work or look for it: their labour-force-participation rate is 71%, compared with 75% for millennials (born between 1980 and the late 1990s) and 78% for Generation X (born in the decade or so to 1980) when each came of age. As a result, they make up a smaller share of the workforce. With graduation ceremonies behind them, the latest group of diploma-holders are entering the job market. What they want from employers is also not quite the same as in generations past.
Although Gen-Z employees felt more lonely and isolated than their older colleagues at the start of the pandemic, the ability to work remotely has brought new possibilities. The benefits go beyond working in your pyjamas. Many are taking calls from beach chairs and hammocks (吊床) in more comfortable places or fleeing big cities in search for cheaper or larger homes.
This has big implications. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are falling out of favour with recent graduates. A study by ManpowerGroup, an employment company, suggests an inverse relationship (反比关系) between talent shortages and flexible working policies. The sectors which are either less able to offer remote work or have been slower to embrace it- including construction, finance and manufacturing-have faced some of the biggest skills gaps for all types of job.
That in turn has accelerated a pre-existing trend of young employees trading Wall Street for Silicon Valley. Now technology bosses are more willing than their opposite numbers in finance to let employees work from home (or anywhere else). Annual rankings of employer desirability by Universum, a graduate-staffing consultancy, bear this out. In 2008 the list of best employers graded by American graduates was dominated by big banks and the Big Four consulting firms. By 2021 seven of the ten highest spots were occupied by tech and media giants.
28. What does the underlined word “diploma-holders” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Employees. B. Students.
C. Graduates. D. Shareholders.
29. Why do Gen-Z employees prefer work remotely?
A. They want more holidays on the beach.
B. They love wearing pyjamas while working.
C. They want to work in a more flexible way.
D. They can’t afford the residents in big cities.
30. What does the study by ManpowerGroup suggest?
A. All walks of life are facing some of the biggest skills gaps.
B. Construction, finance and manufacturing can’t offer remote work.
C. Industries with flexible working policies may suffer talent shortages.
D. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are less popular.
31. Why does the author mention Wall Street and Silicon Valley?
A. To weigh up the pros and cons of the two industries.
B. To prove industries in technology are more appealing.
C. To predict the change of preference among employees.
D. To show Silicon Valley is a better place to settle down.
Have you ever had the urge to open a book and stick your nose straight into the pages? The smell of old books can refresh any book lovers. We don’t know why, but it is just pleasant to us.
Describing the smell can be a challenge. And mere adjectives will likely be of little use to future generations of historians trying to document, understand or reproduce the scent of slowly decaying books. Now, that task may have just gotten easier thanks to the Historic Book Odor Wheel.
In one experiment, researchers asked visitors at the historic library to characterize the scents they smelled. All the visitors selected words like “woody”, “smoky” and “earthy” from the list, and described the smell’s intensity and perceived pleasantness. In another experiment, the study authors presented visitors to the Birmingham Museum with eight smells-one of which was an unlabeled historic book scent and seven were non-bookish, such as coffee, chocolate, fish market and dirty clothes. The researchers then had those museumgoers describe the historic book smell. The top two responses? Chocolate and coffee.“You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are unlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.
The team even analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the book and the library. Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors’ smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to document the “historic library smell”. Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/ cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the smelly source, like furfural, fill the outer circle. The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untrained noses” can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservators’ concerns about material composition and historic paper conservation. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to reconstruct a past we can no longer smell.
32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Addiction to reading books. B. Fascination for smells of books.
C. An odd reading habit. D. A dislike for smelling books.
33. How do people usually describe unlabeled smells?
A. By referring to familiar items. B. By using adjectives to label them.
C. By linking them with food smells. D. By analyzing chemical components.
34. What is the function of the “Historic Book Odor Wheel”?
A. To store book smells. B. To characterize smells.
C. To collect history books. D. To test different scents.
35. What is the potential future application of the study?
A. Creating a whole new scent.
B. Sharpening sensory perceptions.
C. Restoring smells of historic documents.
D. Extracting components of “old book smell”.
第三部分 七选五
Why do women always feel cold?
The “correct” temperature to be set often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men. Between the sexes, there are always more similarities than differences. ____36____ Is there any science backing up the widespread belief that women “feel the cold” more than men?
Biological differences between men and women
At around the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to generate heat. ____37____Thus, the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels(血管).
Women also tend to have a lower metabolic rate than men, which reduces heat production capacity during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops.
Hormonal differences
The hormones oestrogen(雌激素) and progesterone(黄体素) are found in large quantities in women. ___38___ Oestrogen enlarges blood vessels at the extremities, meaning more heat can be lost to the surrounding air. And progestcrone can cause the vessels in the skin to tighten, meaning less blood will flow to keep the internal organs warmer, leaving women feeling cooler.
Is it just humans?
____39____ Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and offspring stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight, as the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature during some stages. Therefore, the difference between heat-sensing mechanisms may provide an evolutionary advantage.
So how do we agree on the ideal temperature?
In the workplace, personal comfort systems are thermal systems that heat or cool and can be locally positioned in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs. ____40____ These systems provide individualized thermal comfort to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space.
A. The skin is the first line of defence.
B. They contribute to the core body and skin temperatures.
C. Animals have the same system to regulate body temperature.
D. They also have more fat between the skin and the muscles.
E. The preference for warmer temperatures isn’t unique to humans.
F. Examples include desk fans, heated chairs or foot warmers.
G. Researches show women prefer a higher temperature to men, however.

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。
The Red Tool Box
It was early in 1981 when I first met George. I was in my early 30s, seeking a creative outlet unrelated to the boredom of housework and raising little ones. My children, then aged three and five, were just entering kindergarten and school life. At 65, George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, painting was ‘it’ and we met at a local TAFE painting class.
George was a man who lived life to the full; he worked hard, played hard, and had an opinion about everything. He adored his wife, his family, his friends, and was loyal and outspoken to an equal degree. George took pride in his fitness and walked three kilometers every day.
And as the only male in a painting class full of women, George was in his element. He took to painting with an awe-inspiring level of passion and devotion, even transforming the spare bedroom of his home into a studio. His painting equipment was comprehensive an easel (画架), quality paints, linseed oil, turpentine, brushes, 8 palette, canvases, charcoal pencils, fixative, palette knives — even a rolling pin for removing air bubbles when gluing. Ever practical, George housed many of these items in a red metal tool box purchased from a local hardware store. Not fancy, but shiny and very red-the sports car of conveyance for painting equipment.
For about six years George and I studied together through various units until the completion of the course and other commitments drew us apart, though we always maintained personal contact as we lived within a couple of kilometers of each other. I’d sometimes see him on his daily walk or at the local shops and occasionally we’d touch base with a ‘proper’ afternoon tea, sharing a cuppa and a chinwag (聊天).
Let’s fast-forward some years and George was about 80 years old.
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。
George rang one day and asked me to go to his house, saying he needed to ask me something.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And so it was that George left all his painting equipment to me.

【解析】Text 1
W: I forgot my toothpaste at home. Can we find a store on the way to the hotel?
M: Why not just use the toothpaste that the hotel provides?
W: Theirs always have bad flavor and it makes me feel unclean. I just use a certain brand.
Text 2
W: I need to find a good place to read. I thought the library would be better than a café, but it’s too noisy here.
M: Try the computer room. There are some comfortable chairs, and no one talks because they’re working on projects.
Text 3
M: Old Peter next door fell on the last step of the stair yesterday. You should go over and ask if we can get his groceries every week.
W: I’ll call after I pack up this soup for him. It will help him get better.
Text 4
W: Tom has been feeling down lately because his hair has started to become thinner.
M: I know. I saw him yesterday and he couldn’t stop trying to style it during the dinner.
W: I think he just needs to relax...
Text 5
M: Did you call a taxi? You have to order them in advance. The last time I tried to get one, it took 30 minutes.
W: I just did. It will pick us up in 10 minutes. So, hurry up and get ready!
Text 6
W: What do you think of my new clothes? Everything was on sale at the store yesterday, so I got a great deal.
M: You look really good. Did you pay a lot for them?
W: They were about $300 in total. It was worth it.
M: That’s too much money for just a top and some shorts. Did the hat and shoes add to that price as well?
W: No. I bought the hat and shoes a long time ago.
M: I never spend that much on clothes. My most expensive piece of clothing is a jacket that I got on sale.
Text 7
W: My laptop is causing trouble for me, Mark. I think I need a new one.
M: Are you still using that Microsoft Surface? I’m surprised it has lasted for three years! At least you didn’t buy an Apple. So, have you finally broken the screen?
W: No. I don’t drop it anymore. I always use it on a table.
M: Well, is the screen losing its brightness? I heard that could be a problem with those thin computers.
W: No. The keyboard doesn’t work half of the time. I think it’s a software problem, but I don’t know how to fix it. I can’t take it to be repaired for free, either.
M: You can use my laptop. I hardly touch it, and the keyboard doesn’t come apart from the screen like yours does. Besides, IBM makes better computers, in my experience.
Text 8
M: Hey, Laura. What do you think I should do over summer holiday? I have so many choices. I could work for my uncle, make a study tour to improve my Spanish, or practice the guitar for hours a day.
W: I heard you playing the other day. You do need more practice. But how do you feel about each of those?
M: I don’t know. They all have their good points and bad points. The work is boring, but helping family and gaining work experience are important. The study tour would take me to places I haven’t been. Maybe I’ll figure out if I want to study abroad later. As for guitar, well, you said it all already.
W: When I have many choices, I usually imagine what would happen if I said yes to each one. Start with one, and really imagine how you would feel if you did that. Then take a few deep breaths, and repeat that for the other choices.
M: OK, I’ll try that right after I play the guitar tonight.
Text 9
M: What have you been so busy with lately, Maria? I never see you anymore.
W: My publisher just gave me a huge assignment. I have to have this new work finished by the end of this month.
M: I didn’t know you were a writer. What kind of book are you writing?
W: I don’t technically write it. I just review the written material and make changes to it so there aren’t any errors.
M: I see. That sounds like it takes a long time.
W: Sometimes. This one is hard because it is non-fiction. It is the life story of an eastern emperor that lived hundreds of years ago. The fact checking is what takes up all the time.
M: I can imagine.
W: Not only that, but there are different histories about the man from European and North American scholars. It isn’t easy to figure out what is true, and what is just someone’s opinion.
M: How long has it already taken you?
W: I can usually finish books like these in four months, but this one has taken me twice as long. There is a lot of information in it, and it is a very important work, so I want to do a good job.
M: Well, let me know when you are done. I’d love to read it.

There are plenty of mysteries of this planet. One of them that have been explained, however, is the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle is an area between three points in the Atlantic Ocean that create a triangle. It has been said that throughout history, many ships and boats have gone missing there, never to be found again. It was first mentioned by a famous explorer in the 1400s, who said he saw a “great ball of fire” in the ocean. It was again referred to by the famous writer Shakespeare in the 1600s, in one of his books. But it didn’t become a popular story until 1918, when an American ship disappeared in the area with 300 men on board. So why have there been all these reports of missing planes and ships? Luckily, today we know the real answer. First, the area is well-known for stormy waters and bad weather. Second, many inexperienced sailors have gotten lost because of poor sailing equipment and the lack of fuel. And finally, accidents are common in the sea. In fact, there are just as many accidents in other parts of the ocean as there are in the Bermuda Triangle. So, if you are planning to take a boat ride through the area, just make sure to be safe!

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Z世代（也称为“互联网世代”，通常是指1995年至2009年出生的一代人）毕业生对就业需求的变化，他们更青睐能够让他们在家灵活办公的科技公司。
1. 词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词前半句“With graduation ceremonies behind them, (随着毕业典礼的结束，)”可知，随着毕业典礼的结束，最新一批文凭持有者正在进入就业市场。可以推出，diploma-holders指的是那些参加完毕业典礼，准备进入就业市场的毕业生。这与diploma-holder“毕业文凭持有者”的字面意思也相符。故选C。
2. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Although Gen-Z employees felt more lonely and isolated than their older colleagues at the start of the pandemic, the ability to work remotely has brought new possibilities. The benefits go beyond working in your pyjamas. Many are taking calls from beach chairs and hammocks (吊床) in more comfortable places or fleeing big cities in search for cheaper or larger homes.(尽管在疫情开始时，Z世代的员工比年长的同事更感到孤独和孤立，但远程工作的能力带来了新的可能性。这样做的好处不仅仅是穿着睡衣工作。许多人在更舒适的地方坐在沙滩椅和吊床上接听电话，或者逃离大城市，寻找更便宜或更大的房子。)”可知，远程办公带来了很多新的可能性。其中的好处不仅仅是可以居家工作，许多人还可以在更闲适的地方处理工作电话，或者在大城市以外的地方找到更便宜或更宽敞的房子。这些都是一种更为灵活的工作方式。故选C。
3. 推理判断题。根据第三段“A study by ManpowerGroup, an employment company, suggests an inverse relationship (反比关系) between talent shortages and flexible working policies.(招聘公司ManpowerGroup的研究表明，人才短缺程度和就业政策的灵活性之间成反比关系。)”可推断，很难实现远程办公或者对远程办公接受较慢的行业，其各种岗位都或多或少存在着重大技能人才短缺的问题。故选D。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“That in turn has accelerated a pre-existing trend of young employees trading Wall Street for Silicon Valley. (这反过来又加速了年轻员工从华尔街转投硅谷的趋势。)”可知，上一段提到的人才短缺问题，反过来又加速了年轻求职者从美国金融中心华尔街转投高科技事业云集的硅谷的既有倾向。可见科技产业更加受欢迎。故选B。
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种用于记录旧书气味的“气味轮”的诞生。研究人员通过在博物馆和图书馆组织游客进行气味感官描述，并开展化学分析，创建了历史书籍气味轮来记录“历史图书馆的气味”。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Have you ever had the urge to open a book and stick your nose straight into the pages? The smell of old books can refresh any book lovers. We don’t know why, but it is just pleasant to us.(你是否曾经有过一种冲动，想打开一本书，把鼻子直接贴在书页上？旧书的味道能使任何书迷精神焕发。我们不知道为什么，但它只是让我们愉快)”可知，第一段描述了我们对书籍气味的迷恋。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话““You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are unlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.(“当没有标签的气味时，你倾向于使用熟悉的联想来描述它们，”研究作者Cecilia Bembibre说)”及第三段全段对于实验过程的描述可知，人们在描述未知气味时，倾向于使用熟悉的事物来展开联想。故选A。
3. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors’ smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to document the “historic library smell”. Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/ cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the smelly source, like furfural, fill the outer circle.(利用来自化学分析和游客气味描述的数据，研究人员创建了“历史图书气味轮”来记录“历史图书馆的气味”。主要类别，如“甜/辣”，填满了轮子的内圆；描述词，如“巧克力/奶油”，填满了中间；而可能是气味来源的化合物，如糠醛，则填满了外层)”可知，“历史图书气味轮”的功能应是描述气味。故选B。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untrained noses” can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservators’ concerns about material composition and historic paper conservation. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to reconstruct a past we can no longer smell. (研究人员希望书的气味轮能成为一种工具，“未经训练的鼻子”可以用来识别气味和引起气味的化合物，这可以解决文物保护人员对材料组成和历史文献保护的担忧。希望有一天，过去的气味可以在实验室里重现，博物馆和历史学家可以用它来重建我们再也闻不到的过去)”可知，研究者们未来有望利用气味轮来保护历史材料文献、重现过去的气味。故选C。
【答案】36. G 37. D 38. B 39. E 40. F
【解析】这是一篇说明文，文章解释了女性比男性更能“感受到寒冷”的原因，这种现象也存在于动物界，最后文章也提到了解决办法。
1. 根据上文“Between the sexes, there are always more similarities than differences.(两性之间的相似点总是多于不同点)”可知，两性之间的相似处点多于差异，下文“Is there any science backing up the widespread belief that women ‘feel the cold’ more than men?(人们普遍认为女性比男性更能‘感受到寒冷’，这一观点有科学依据吗？)”提到两性对温度的感知差异，故G项“然而，研究表明，女性比男性更喜欢更高的温度”符合语境，说明女性确实在室温的喜好上与男性有差异，与上文形成转折关系，且开启下文。故选G项。
2. 根据本段主题句“Biological differences between men and women(男女之间的生理差异)”可知，此段分析女性的生理机制与男性的差异性而导致她们更怕冷，根据上文“At around the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to generate heat.(在体重大致相同的情况下，女性产生热量的肌肉往往较少)”及下文“Thus, the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels(血管).(因此，皮肤感觉更冷，因为它离血管略远)”推知，空处内容也和皮肤及肌肉有关，D项“她们的皮肤和肌肉之间也有更多的脂肪”最恰当，选项中的they指代上文提到的women。故选D项。
3. 通过后文“Oestrogen enlarges blood vessels at the extremities, meaning more heat can be lost to the surrounding air. And progestcrone can cause the vessels in the skin to tighten, meaning less blood will flow to keep the internal organs warmer, leaving women feeling cooler.(雌激素会使四肢的血管扩张，这意味着更多的热量会流失到周围的空气中。黄体素会导致皮肤中的血管紧致，这意味着更少的血液流动来保持内部器官的温度，让女性感觉更凉爽)”对这两种物质“The hormones oestrogen (雌激素) and progesterone (黄体素)”的作用进行的分析可知，这两种物质主要是调节身体器官和皮肤的温度，B项“它们有助于提高身体核心和皮肤的温度”符合文意，引起下文，B项中的代词They指代上文的“The hormones oestrogen(雌激素) and progesterone(黄体素)”，故选B项。
4. 通过下一句“Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and offspring stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight, as the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature during some stages.(对许多种类的鸟类和哺乳动物的研究报告称，雄性通常聚集在阴凉的凉爽地区，而雌性和后代则呆在阳光充足的温暖环境中，因为幼雏在某些阶段无法调节自己的体温)”提到动物界雄性喜欢更凉爽的地方而雌性喜欢更温暖的地方可知，两性之间对温度偏好的差异性不仅仅局限于人类身上，动物界也有相似的例子，E项“对温暖温度的偏好并非人类所独有”符合语境。故选E项。
5. 通过上一句“In the workplace, personal comfort systems are thermal systems that heat or cool and can be locally positioned in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs.(在工作场所，个人舒适系统是加热或冷却的热系统，可以局部放置在单独的工作站上，如桌面、椅子或脚和腿附近)”提到在办公场所可以根据个人需要放置取暖设备可知，空处接着举例说明可以用哪些设备，F项“例如桌扇、加热椅或暖脚器”符合语境，且呼应下一句中的“These systems”。故选F项。
【答案】41. C 42. A 43. B 44. B 45. D 46. A 47. A 48. D 49. B 50. D 51. C 52. A 53. D 54. C 55. C

【答案】
George rang one day and asked me to go to his house, saying he needed to ask me something. While his dear wife Dorothy served tea and cake, George explained that he was giving up painting and giving away all his ‘stuff’. Everything — paints, boards, canvases, completed works, the rolling pin and even the precious red tool box! “I can’t paint, Bella. I don’t know why I ever thought I could,” he declared. He was mistaken about his painting ability because he had turned out some unique and wonderful works. However, George had decided he was through with painting, and no amount of talking could persuade him otherwise.
And so it was that George left all his painting equipment to me. “You have the best talent and are most likely to use it well,” he said. After considerable persuasion, I accepted this precious gift, insisting that he could reclaim it at any time. He never did, of course, and I still use much of his equipment today, more than 20 years later. As I paint, I often remember George, his sunny personality, generous spirit and unfailing encouragement. The red tool box witnessed a friendship that lasted for 25 years — until the day he passed away.

As 17-year-old Norwood drove through St. Peters-burg, Florida, last February, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached a crossing, another car T-boned them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.
As smoke rose from the other car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” Shaken, but otherwise OK, she crawled (爬行) out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back to the car and found Simmons passed out in the back seat. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out, avoiding the broken glass as best she could. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.” Nothing. “I put my head against her chest.” No sign of life. “That’s when I started CPR (心肺复苏术).”
Had the accident happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do. But Norwood, who wants to pursue a career in medicine, had earned her CPR certificate just the day before. Kneeling on the lawn and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she’d learned. She started pumping Simmons’s chest and breathing into her friend’s mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response. And then, after the 30th try, Simmons began coughing and gasping for air. The CPR had worked! Soon, the ambulance arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital, where she received treatment for a cut in her forehead. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I wasn’t shocked,” Simmons told CNN. “She will always help any way she can.”
24. What happened to Norwood’s car in Florida last February?
A. It lost its way at a crossing.
B. It crashed into a nearby building.
C. It was hit by another car from the side.
D. It stopped in St. Peters- burg as planned.
25. Why did Norwood go back to the car?
A. To call for help. B. To check the car.
C. To put out the fire. D. To rescue her friend.
26. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Norwood was a certificated on- the- job doctor.
B. Simmons didn’t came to herself after the CPR.
C. Norwood learned how to perform CPR recently.
D. Simmons was surprised to be saved by Norwood.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Norwood?
A. Calm and dependable. B. Friendly and selfless.
C. Honest and responsible. D. Helpful and sympathetic.
Generation Z is different. As a whole, Americans born between the late 1990s and early 2000s are less likely to have work or look for it: their labour-force-participation rate is 71%, compared with 75% for millennials (born between 1980 and the late 1990s) and 78% for Generation X (born in the decade or so to 1980) when each came of age. As a result, they make up a smaller share of the workforce. With graduation ceremonies behind them, the latest group of diploma-holders are entering the job market. What they want from employers is also not quite the same as in generations past.
Although Gen-Z employees felt more lonely and isolated than their older colleagues at the start of the pandemic, the ability to work remotely has brought new possibilities. The benefits go beyond working in your pyjamas. Many are taking calls from beach chairs and hammocks (吊床) in more comfortable places or fleeing big cities in search for cheaper or larger homes.
This has big implications. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are falling out of favour with recent graduates. A study by ManpowerGroup, an employment company, suggests an inverse relationship (反比关系) between talent shortages and flexible working policies. The sectors which are either less able to offer remote work or have been slower to embrace it- including construction, finance and manufacturing-have faced some of the biggest skills gaps for all types of job.
That in turn has accelerated a pre-existing trend of young employees trading Wall Street for Silicon Valley. Now technology bosses are more willing than their opposite numbers in finance to let employees work from home (or anywhere else). Annual rankings of employer desirability by Universum, a graduate-staffing consultancy, bear this out. In 2008 the list of best employers graded by American graduates was dominated by big banks and the Big Four consulting firms. By 2021 seven of the ten highest spots were occupied by tech and media giants.

A. They want more holidays on the beach.
B. They love wearing pyjamas while working.
C. They want to work in a more flexible way.
D. They can’t afford the residents in big cities.
30. What does the study by ManpowerGroup suggest?
A. All walks of life are facing some of the biggest skills gaps.
B. Construction, finance and manufacturing can’t offer remote work.
C. Industries with flexible working policies may suffer talent shortages.
D. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are less popular.
31. Why does the author mention Wall Street and Silicon Valley?
A. To weigh up the pros and cons of the two industries.
B. To prove industries in technology are more appealing.
C. To predict the change of preference among employees.
D. To show Silicon Valley is a better place to settle down.
Have you ever had the urge to open a book and stick your nose straight into the pages? The smell of old books can refresh any book lovers. We don’t know why, but it is just pleasant to us.
Describing the smell can be a challenge. And mere adjectives will likely be of little use to future generations of historians trying to document, understand or reproduce the scent of slowly decaying books. Now, that task may have just gotten easier thanks to the Historic Book Odor Wheel.
In one experiment, researchers asked visitors at the historic library to characterize the scents they smelled. All the visitors selected words like “woody”, “smoky” and “earthy” from the list, and described the smell’s intensity and perceived pleasantness. In another experiment, the study authors presented visitors to the Birmingham Museum with eight smells-one of which was an unlabeled historic book scent and seven were non-bookish, such as coffee, chocolate, fish market and dirty clothes. The researchers then had those museumgoers describe the historic book smell. The top two responses? Chocolate and coffee.“You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are unlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.
The team even analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the book and the library. Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors’ smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to document the “historic library smell”. Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/ cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the smelly source, like furfural, fill the outer circle. The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untrained noses” can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservators’ concerns about material composition and historic paper conservation. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to reconstruct a past we can no longer smell.
32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Addiction to reading books. B. Fascination for smells of books.
C. An odd reading habit. D. A dislike for smelling books.
33. How do people usually describe unlabeled smells?
A. By referring to familiar items. B. By using adjectives to label them.
C. By linking them with food smells. D. By analyzing chemical components.
34. What is the function of the “Historic Book Odor Wheel”?
A. To store book smells. B. To characterize smells.
C. To collect history books. D. To test different scents.
35. What is the potential future application of the study?
A. Creating a whole new scent.
B. Sharpening sensory perceptions.
C. Restoring smells of historic documents.
D. Extracting components of “old book smell”.
第三部分 七选五
Why do women always feel cold?
The “correct” temperature to be set often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men. Between the sexes, there are always more similarities than differences. ____36____ Is there any science backing up the widespread belief that women “feel the cold” more than men?
Biological differences between men and women
At around the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to generate heat. ____37____Thus, the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels(血管).
Women also tend to have a lower metabolic rate than men, which reduces heat production capacity during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops.
Hormonal differences
The hormones oestrogen(雌激素) and progesterone(黄体素) are found in large quantities in women. ___38___ Oestrogen enlarges blood vessels at the extremities, meaning more heat can be lost to the surrounding air. And progestcrone can cause the vessels in the skin to tighten, meaning less blood will flow to keep the internal organs warmer, leaving women feeling cooler.
Is it just humans?
____39____ Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and offspring stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight, as the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature during some stages. Therefore, the difference between heat-sensing mechanisms may provide an evolutionary advantage.
So how do we agree on the ideal temperature?
In the workplace, personal comfort systems are thermal systems that heat or cool and can be locally positioned in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs. ____40____ These systems provide individualized thermal comfort to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space.
A. The skin is the first line of defence.
B. They contribute to the core body and skin temperatures.
C. Animals have the same system to regulate body temperature.
D. They also have more fat between the skin and the muscles.
E. The preference for warmer temperatures isn’t unique to humans.
F. Examples include desk fans, heated chairs or foot warmers.
G. Researches show women prefer a higher temperature to men, however.

The Red Tool Box
It was early in 1981 when I first met George. I was in my early 30s, seeking a creative outlet unrelated to the boredom of housework and raising little ones. My children, then aged three and five, were just entering kindergarten and school life. At 65, George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, painting was ‘it’ and we met at a local TAFE painting class.
George was a man who lived life to the full; he worked hard, played hard, and had an opinion about everything. He adored his wife, his family, his friends, and was loyal and outspoken to an equal degree. George took pride in his fitness and walked three kilometers every day.
And as the only male in a painting class full of women, George was in his element. He took to painting with an awe-inspiring level of passion and devotion, even transforming the spare bedroom of his home into a studio. His painting equipment was comprehensive an easel (画架), quality paints, linseed oil, turpentine, brushes, 8 palette, canvases, charcoal pencils, fixative, palette knives — even a rolling pin for removing air bubbles when gluing. Ever practical, George housed many of these items in a red metal tool box purchased from a local hardware store. Not fancy, but shiny and very red-the sports car of conveyance for painting equipment.
For about six years George and I studied together through various units until the completion of the course and other commitments drew us apart, though we always maintained personal contact as we lived within a couple of kilometers of each other. I’d sometimes see him on his daily walk or at the local shops and occasionally we’d touch base with a ‘proper’ afternoon tea, sharing a cuppa and a chinwag (聊天).
Let’s fast-forward some years and George was about 80 years old.
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。
George rang one day and asked me to go to his house, saying he needed to ask me something.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And so it was that George left all his painting equipment to me.

M: Why not just use the toothpaste that the hotel provides?
W: Theirs always have bad flavor and it makes me feel unclean. I just use a certain brand.
Text 2
W: I need to find a good place to read. I thought the library would be better than a café, but it’s too noisy here.
M: Try the computer room. There are some comfortable chairs, and no one talks because they’re working on projects.
Text 3
M: Old Peter next door fell on the last step of the stair yesterday. You should go over and ask if we can get his groceries every week.
W: I’ll call after I pack up this soup for him. It will help him get better.
Text 4
W: Tom has been feeling down lately because his hair has started to become thinner.
M: I know. I saw him yesterday and he couldn’t stop trying to style it during the dinner.
W: I think he just needs to relax...
Text 5
M: Did you call a taxi? You have to order them in advance. The last time I tried to get one, it took 30 minutes.
W: I just did. It will pick us up in 10 minutes. So, hurry up and get ready!
Text 6
W: What do you think of my new clothes? Everything was on sale at the store yesterday, so I got a great deal.
M: You look really good. Did you pay a lot for them?
W: They were about $300 in total. It was worth it.
M: That’s too much money for just a top and some shorts. Did the hat and shoes add to that price as well?
W: No. I bought the hat and shoes a long time ago.
M: I never spend that much on clothes. My most expensive piece of clothing is a jacket that I got on sale.
Text 7
W: My laptop is causing trouble for me, Mark. I think I need a new one.
M: Are you still using that Microsoft Surface? I’m surprised it has lasted for three years! At least you didn’t buy an Apple. So, have you finally broken the screen?
W: No. I don’t drop it anymore. I always use it on a table.
M: Well, is the screen losing its brightness? I heard that could be a problem with those thin computers.
W: No. The keyboard doesn’t work half of the time. I think it’s a software problem, but I don’t know how to fix it. I can’t take it to be repaired for free, either.
M: You can use my laptop. I hardly touch it, and the keyboard doesn’t come apart from the screen like yours does. Besides, IBM makes better computers, in my experience.
Text 8
M: Hey, Laura. What do you think I should do over summer holiday? I have so many choices. I could work for my uncle, make a study tour to improve my Spanish, or practice the guitar for hours a day.
W: I heard you playing the other day. You do need more practice. But how do you feel about each of those?
M: I don’t know. They all have their good points and bad points. The work is boring, but helping family and gaining work experience are important. The study tour would take me to places I haven’t been. Maybe I’ll figure out if I want to study abroad later. As for guitar, well, you said it all already.
W: When I have many choices, I usually imagine what would happen if I said yes to each one. Start with one, and really imagine how you would feel if you did that. Then take a few deep breaths, and repeat that for the other choices.
M: OK, I’ll try that right after I play the guitar tonight.
Text 9
M: What have you been so busy with lately, Maria? I never see you anymore.
W: My publisher just gave me a huge assignment. I have to have this new work finished by the end of this month.
M: I didn’t know you were a writer. What kind of book are you writing?
W: I don’t technically write it. I just review the written material and make changes to it so there aren’t any errors.
M: I see. That sounds like it takes a long time.
W: Sometimes. This one is hard because it is non-fiction. It is the life story of an eastern emperor that lived hundreds of years ago. The fact checking is what takes up all the time.
M: I can imagine.
W: Not only that, but there are different histories about the man from European and North American scholars. It isn’t easy to figure out what is true, and what is just someone’s opinion.
M: How long has it already taken you?
W: I can usually finish books like these in four months, but this one has taken me twice as long. There is a lot of information in it, and it is a very important work, so I want to do a good job.
M: Well, let me know when you are done. I’d love to read it.

There are plenty of mysteries of this planet. One of them that have been explained, however, is the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle is an area between three points in the Atlantic Ocean that create a triangle. It has been said that throughout history, many ships and boats have gone missing there, never to be found again. It was first mentioned by a famous explorer in the 1400s, who said he saw a “great ball of fire” in the ocean. It was again referred to by the famous writer Shakespeare in the 1600s, in one of his books. But it didn’t become a popular story until 1918, when an American ship disappeared in the area with 300 men on board. So why have there been all these reports of missing planes and ships? Luckily, today we know the real answer. First, the area is well-known for stormy waters and bad weather. Second, many inexperienced sailors have gotten lost because of poor sailing equipment and the lack of fuel. And finally, accidents are common in the sea. In fact, there are just as many accidents in other parts of the ocean as there are in the Bermuda Triangle. So, if you are planning to take a boat ride through the area, just make sure to be safe!

【答案】36. G 37. D 38. B 39. E 40. F
【解析】这是一篇说明文，文章解释了女性比男性更能“感受到寒冷”的原因，这种现象也存在于动物界，最后文章也提到了解决办法。
1. 根据上文“Between the sexes, there are always more similarities than differences.(两性之间的相似点总是多于不同点)”可知，两性之间的相似处点多于差异，下文“Is there any science backing up the widespread belief that women ‘feel the cold’ more than men?(人们普遍认为女性比男性更能‘感受到寒冷’，这一观点有科学依据吗？)”提到两性对温度的感知差异，故G项“然而，研究表明，女性比男性更喜欢更高的温度”符合语境，说明女性确实在室温的喜好上与男性有差异，与上文形成转折关系，且开启下文。故选G项。
2. 根据本段主题句“Biological differences between men and women(男女之间的生理差异)”可知，此段分析女性的生理机制与男性的差异性而导致她们更怕冷，根据上文“At around the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to generate heat.(在体重大致相同的情况下，女性产生热量的肌肉往往较少)”及下文“Thus, the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels(血管).(因此，皮肤感觉更冷，因为它离血管略远)”推知，空处内容也和皮肤及肌肉有关，D项“她们的皮肤和肌肉之间也有更多的脂肪”最恰当，选项中的they指代上文提到的women。故选D项。
3. 通过后文“Oestrogen enlarges blood vessels at the extremities, meaning more heat can be lost to the surrounding air. And progestcrone can cause the vessels in the skin to tighten, meaning less blood will flow to keep the internal organs warmer, leaving women feeling cooler.(雌激素会使四肢的血管扩张，这意味着更多的热量会流失到周围的空气中。黄体素会导致皮肤中的血管紧致，这意味着更少的血液流动来保持内部器官的温度，让女性感觉更凉爽)”对这两种物质“The hormones oestrogen (雌激素) and progesterone (黄体素)”的作用进行的分析可知，这两种物质主要是调节身体器官和皮肤的温度，B项“它们有助于提高身体核心和皮肤的温度”符合文意，引起下文，B项中的代词They指代上文的“The hormones oestrogen(雌激素) and progesterone(黄体素)”，故选B项。
4. 通过下一句“Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and offspring stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight, as the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature during some stages.(对许多种类的鸟类和哺乳动物的研究报告称，雄性通常聚集在阴凉的凉爽地区，而雌性和后代则呆在阳光充足的温暖环境中，因为幼雏在某些阶段无法调节自己的体温)”提到动物界雄性喜欢更凉爽的地方而雌性喜欢更温暖的地方可知，两性之间对温度偏好的差异性不仅仅局限于人类身上，动物界也有相似的例子，E项“对温暖温度的偏好并非人类所独有”符合语境。故选E项。
5. 通过上一句“In the workplace, personal comfort systems are thermal systems that heat or cool and can be locally positioned in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs.(在工作场所，个人舒适系统是加热或冷却的热系统，可以局部放置在单独的工作站上，如桌面、椅子或脚和腿附近)”提到在办公场所可以根据个人需要放置取暖设备可知，空处接着举例说明可以用哪些设备，F项“例如桌扇、加热椅或暖脚器”符合语境，且呼应下一句中的“These systems”。故选F项。
【答案】41. C 42. A 43. B 44. B 45. D 46. A 47. A 48. D 49. B 50. D 51. C 52. A 53. D 54. C 55. C

【答案】Dear Jim,
Hearing your upset about your English handwriting which has posed an influence on your writing scores, I feel deeply concerned. Don’t be too worried, for it is common among your peers.
I have a deep understanding of your trouble. From my point of view, the situation might be caused by inadequate practice and incorrect methods of practice. Here are my suggestions. Initially, it is essential that you practise strokes and letters while watching a demo video or with a copybook. Then, you can arrange a fixed period every day for further practice. Finally, put it into practice in the tests and make adjustments when necessary.
Take action now and I believe I will witness your gradual progress and final success.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】
George rang one day and asked me to go to his house, saying he needed to ask me something. While his dear wife Dorothy served tea and cake, George explained that he was giving up painting and giving away all his ‘stuff’. Everything — paints, boards, canvases, completed works, the rolling pin and even the precious red tool box! “I can’t paint, Bella. I don’t know why I ever thought I could,” he declared. He was mistaken about his painting ability because he had turned out some unique and wonderful works. However, George had decided he was through with painting, and no amount of talking could persuade him otherwise.
And so it was that George left all his painting equipment to me. “You have the best talent and are most likely to use it well,” he said. After considerable persuasion, I accepted this precious gift, insisting that he could reclaim it at any time. He never did, of course, and I still use much of his equipment today, more than 20 years later. As I paint, I often remember George, his sunny personality, generous spirit and unfailing encouragement. The red tool box witnessed a friendship that lasted for 25 years — until the day he passed away.
