四、用单词的适当形式完成短文
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Ever got to grips with a problem? Picked up a new skill? Grasped a difficult concept? The language of learning is full of references to parts of the body outside the brain. Perhaps that’s because these phrases hint at ____21____ deeper. Since the beginning of this century, researchers have been working on the mechanism of learning. They are discovering that learning is easier, quicker with the body movements ____22____(involve). According to many, the effect could be huge ____23____ it’s gesturing with the arms or moving around a room. Can these insights enhance teaching and learning? And should it inform the way technology ____24____(employ) in the classroom?
In some ways, the idea that the body can aid learning should come ____25____ no surprise. Consider that many of us probably began to understand basic arithmetic by counting on our fingers ____26____ we learned to count in our head.
A theory called embodied cognition suggests that what goes on in our minds comes from our actions and interactions with the world around us. It means that ____27____(encourage) children to think and learn in a purely abstract way might actually make lessons harder for them to understand and remember.
Science backs up the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom. Even at the subconscious level, we appreciate the communicative value of our body language. There is evidence that teachers, ____28____ in various cases use arms and hand movements in lessons, achieve better teaching results.
In light of this, it’s tempting to conclude that teachers, and their students, had better jump up and down, or wave their arms about like windmills during lessons. Professor Manches, however, advises caution. The concern is that science has not quite worked out ____29____ the relationship between body and mind works. “We _____30_____ not jump into the intervention stage too early,” says Manches.


五、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A．disadvantage B．notably   C． energetic  D．insufficient  E. alternateF. evolved   G. contribution  H. periodic  I. withdrawal  J. coexist   K. adjusted
The degree to which seasonal changes affect mood, energy, sleep, appetite, food preference, or the wish to socialize with other people has been called seasonality. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a condition where depressions in fall and winter ____31____ with non-depression periods in spring and summer, is the most marked form of seasonality.The typical symptoms of ____32____ winter depression include lowered mood, social ____33____, increased appetite and weight gain. Mild or no symptoms often occur in spring and summer. It is argued that such pattern of depression occurrence forms an adaptive mechanism which enhances the likelihood of reproductive success, most ____34____ for females, among populations living at temperate latitudes(纬度). Women are more likely to become pregnant in the summer and thus to give birth at a time of year when their babies have a higher chance of survival. Low chance of summer depression also indicates ____35____ individuals and promotes healthier pregnancies, which increase the survival chances of both mothers and babies. In the modern era, it is probable that repeated winter depression is becoming a reproductive ____36____.
Several lines of evidence also suggest that genetic factors play an important role in the seasonality and SAD．Millions of years of evolution had ____37____ human biochemical systems for survival under equatorial(赤道的) environmental conditions. Modern humans began to move out of Africa only about 150,000 years ago. Little change in our ‘equatorial’systems might have been expected over this relatively short evolutionary span. And a genetic defenselessness against seasonal changes in mood and behavior is out of ____38____ adaptation to the new living conditions.
Today, more studies of SAD and seasonality are receiving considerable attention. Studies on relatives of patients with SAD also suggested a familial ____39____ to the development of SAD．Researchers are trying to find out whether SAD and seasonality are acquired at birth as a composite entity(实体) or whether the two are separate acquired traits that happen to ____40____ in certain individuals.


六、完形填空
In a letter he wrote in 1884, Mark Twain complained that “Telephones, telegraphs and words are too slow for this age; we must get something that is faster.” “We should communicate by thought only, and say in a couple of minutes what should have ballooned into ____41____ in an hour and a half,” said him.
Despite the progress the previous century brought for our understanding of both language and the brain, we are no closer to telepathy(心灵感应), communication from one mind to another by ____42____ means, than we were in Twain’s time. The reason is that the telepathy we’ve been promised, the sort imagined by Twain, and ____43____ in countless movies and TV shows, is, for the time being, groundless.
“Good old-fashioned telepathy” (GOFT) involves a direct transfer of ____44____ from one mind to another. It has fascinated people for good reasons. It removes the ____45____ of language. With GOFT, we no longer need to put each concept into words or to ____46____ someone’s language. You know instantly what one means as the former channel of communication, language, is not at all necessary. The ____47____ of language is the central feature of GOFT. It is what enables science-fiction writers to imagine humans and aliens from other planets communicating telepathically despite not sharing a language. But can it really come true with current science and technology?
Besides, GOFT promises genuine communication. However, ____48____ is universal. We all have experiences of saying one thing, only to be understood as saying something else. Because language is so flexible, it is also easy to lie or ____49____ oneself.  We aren’t even certain if Bob’s expression could be in line with what he believes in a year’s time.
These weaknesses have driven people to look for alternatives and finally inspired inventions of artificial languages trying to remove misunderstanding. Of course, one day when technology allows, a direct thought-to-thought transfer seems the ____50____ solution.
Many of us have the confidence that we can think faster than we can speak or write. Having to rely ____51____ on language to communicate, however, is depressing. Therefore, the ____52____ of adding new direct brain-to-brain communication channels is exciting. By channels of this kind, our brains can be “____53____ ” and allowed to be committed to other ____54____ practices instead of conveying messages.  New brain-to-brain channels have the potential to increase ____55____, turning us into super-actors, handling so many tasks in a short period of time as we cannot yet imagine.

七、阅读理解
I was in Chicago for a job training when I knew a nearby theatre was releasing a film about saving dogs. I love animals and this fundraising event sounded right up my alley. However, none of my co-workers could squeeze time for me. I got cold feet for anxiety about navigating the streets by myself at night alone.
But in my hotel room I felt restless and bored. The theatre was only about five blocks away from the hotel. How could I stray? Hence, I decided to brave it. I gathered my room key and set off.
I managed to find the street of the theatre but when I turned the corner I stopped in shock. The street in front of the theatre was full of bikers-lots of very big, tough-looking bikers.
Now I was a woman all alone at night. There were many large men, all wearing insignia suggesting they were in some sort of club or gang. Warning bells began to sound and my heart jumped in my throat. Was I at the right theatre? Had I misread the date of the event?
I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theatre where there was, presumably, a crowd of people. I scurried into the theatre. As I sat there, heart racing, waiting for the film to start, I muttered a prayer to contain my anxieties. A local blues-rock band was the opening act and their performance drew my attention. Enthusiasm for the band’s performance soon took away all my worries from my mind and I began to relax.
After the band, the film began and I understood the presence of the bikers after a conversation with the staff. Being part of an animal rescue group, they had escorted dogs from New Jersey to Chicago. At that moment. I was struck by the bond that had drawn so many disparate folks to the theatre. Singers, sportsmen, ordinary workers-had all been brought together by our shared love of animals. I made new friends. I discovered a new band and supported an important cause. I stayed till the very end and made it to my hotel without any incident, overjoyed that I broke out of the boundary I used to set for myself and ventured into the unknown. To my amazement, the reward was one of the best nights of my life.
56．The author didn’t go to the theatre at first because ________.
A．the theatre was far right up the alley
B．she couldn’t spare time from the training
C．she was afraid of getting lost on the way
D．she was concerned that she would catch cold at night

D．The opening act was successful in calming her down.
58．The underlined word disparate in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.
A．respectable B．diverse C．restless D．common
59．The woman returned back to the hotel very happy because ________.
A．she discovered a band she loved
B．she successfully went back to the hotel safe
C．she knew the reason for the presence of all the bikers
D．she stepped out of comfort zone and got good results

C．Attracting readers through the style of telling stories.
D．Providing simple book cover but quality content.

One of the curious things about social networks is the way that some messages, pictures, or ideas can spread like wildfire while others that seem just as catchy or interesting barely register at all.
Before you go deep into the puzzle, consider this: If you measure the height of your male friends, for example, the average is about 170 centimeters. You are 172 and your friends are all about the same height as you are. Indeed, the mathematical concept of “average” is a good way to capture the nature of this data set.
But imagine that one of your friends was much taller than you. This person would dramatically skew the average, which would make your friends taller than you, on average. In this case, the “average” is a poor way to capture this data set.
Exactly this situation occurs on social networks. On average, your coauthors will be cited more often than you, and the people you follow will post more frequently than you, and so on.
Now Lerman from University of Southern California has discovered a related paradox, which they call the majority illusion. They illustrate this illusion with an example. They take 14 nodes linked up to form a small network. They then color three of these nodes and count how many of the remaining nodes link to them in a single step.
In one situation, the uncolored nodes see more than half of their neighbors as colored. This is the majority illusion — the local impression that a specific feature is common when the global truth is entirely different.
So how popular is it in the real world? It’s found out that the majority illusion occurs in almost all network scenarios. “The effect is largest in the political blogs network, where 60% of nodes will have majority active neighbours, even when only 20% of the nodes are truly active,” says Lerman.
It immediately explains many interesting phenomena. For a start, it shows how some content can spread globally while other similar content does not — the key is to start with a small number of well-connected early adopters fooling the rest of the network into thinking it is common. The affected nodes then find it natural to follow the trend. A real spread finally comes into being.
But it is not yet a marketer’s charter. For that, marketers must first identify the popular nodes that can create the majority illusion for the target audience. These influencers must then be persuaded to adopt the desired behavior or product, which is essential to the prospect of the marketing plan.
63．The phrase skew the average in the passage most probably refers to the action of ________.
A．hiding the real average to be unrecognizable to others
B．producing an average against the general feature of data
C．working out the common feature suggested by the average
D．ignoring the average because of the frequency by which it is reviewed
64．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Majority illusion rarely has impacts except in political blogs field.
B．The majority illusion on social networks relies on that people you follow post more than you.
C．The essence of successful opinion spread is to initiate the trend with well-connected sharers.
D．The spread scale of ideas on networks mainly depends on the quality of content.
65．To guarantee the success of marketing promotion, it’s vital to ________.
A．thoroughly understand the concept of majority illusion
B．accurately figure out who is the powerful person to affect others
C．definitely decide who are the target audience for the promotion
D．successfully convince the influencers to practice certain action
66．What is most probably the title of the passage?
A．The social network vision that tricks your mind.
B．Who is stealing your network identity?
C．Minority network opinion spread, curse or blessing?
D．Have you been misled during the last political voting?


八、六选四
Tipping, customers paying service workers, usually at restaurants, for services they receive, has been a regular part of American culture for well over a century, but the emergence of new technology and shifting expectations have shaken long-standing norms around the practice. That uncertainty, together with the pressure it can often create, has left some consumers feeling exhausted by the frequency with which they’re forced to decide which workers to tip and how much.
A big reason for the growth of what is being called “tip tiredness” is the increasing presence of digital payment systems, which have replaced traditional cash registers at most businesses. Suddenly, rather than being given the chance to drop a dollar in a tip jar, customers are confronted with a tablet. ____67____ They have to tip for services they’d never considered tipping for in the past.
Tipping also makes labor laws more complicated. In all but a handful of states, employers are allowed to pay tipped workers below minimum wage. In some cases, the standard is as low as $2.13 per hour, as long as workers make enough in tips to earn the equivalent of minimum wage. ____68____ Many people are debating over whether tipping system need a repair — or even should be cancelled altogether. They say tipping needs to be eliminated and replaced by a fair wage for all service workers. The tipping practice increases the possibility that employees can’t get what they deserve. ____69____ In many cases, customers’ tip amounts are largely guided by factors other than quality of the service they receive, which makes the situation even worse.
However, defenders of the current arrangement say it’s still the best option. ____70____ It provides a chance for workers to have more control over their financial welfare. If a restaurant is doing well because it’s safely operated, properly managed and delivers great food, customers will usually tip. And when that happens, everyone — from the wait staff to the dishwashers — can share in the business’s success.
A．The frustration about such shifting wage payment has added new wrinkles to the controversy.
B．The diversity of tipping channels somewhat eases the conflicts in deciding the amount of tips.
C．No workers should have their livelihood depend on their customers’ mercy.
D．The popularity of digital point-of-sale systems has also meant consumers are being asked to tip more frequently.
E．Tipping, against many people’s wills, establishes a new customer-server relationship.
F．It’s believed that tipping is the ultimate profit-sharing plan.


九、概要写作
71．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Second-hand fashion stages a comeback
Few followers of fashion will forget the moment when a super model arrived at a New York fashion week dinner, wearing a 1950s dress. The next day, a hunt for something similar began. That was 2003. Fast forward to the 2020s and second-hand fashion is renewing a new round of craze, and this time, arguably, it’s back for good.
When super models and designers were buying things at second-hand markets and matching them with expensive pieces, the act was more related to the old ideal of what fashion was — very trend-based and very season-based. Today, ordinary people always want to have new looks but they’re becoming more aware of the impact of their choices on the environment, and the best thing we can do in this climate crisis is to limit the resources we take out of the planet. Second-hand fashion speaks to what’s happening right now. And the world is speaking back. It’s estimated that the total resale clothes market is expected to rise in value from $96 billion in 2021 to $141 billion by 2023. More than ‘back for good’, second-hand fashion looks set to become the new norm.
The increased crafts of repair and upcycling offer another contemporary dimension to the trend. There’s a rise in young people looking at things that already exist, not only to take inspiration from, but also to use as material for next-stage creation. Current repair and upcycling skills make their wish a reality.
Even social media platforms are on board. “Once you start finding heat at the second-hand fashion shop, it quickly turns into an ever-growing addiction. Each piece has history behind it,” said an online celebrity with 1.7 million followers. He, along with other celebrities posting visits to shops of this kind, has pushed up sales. Their power in the field can’t be neglected.

【原文】A Scottish illustrator has become surprisingly successful because of her “coloring-in” books for grown-ups. Johanna Basford’s books of crafted fill-in drawings have caused a huge demand from those seeking to switch off from laptops and computer games.Today, people like coloring-in because they are fed up with digital life. There is something nice about picking up a pencil and drawing. You are not going to get interrupted by social media. Besides, there is also an element of childhood memory involved. Every time you do a bit of coloring in, you probably won’t be thinking about house mortgage or job troubles. And like other middle-class crazes such as hiking or baking, coloring-in appeals to people looking for a simpler and quieter life.Now, having already topped the best-seller book lists, Basford’s books are also giving a huge push to global sales for pencils, as most coloring-in fans believe that producing coloring-in masterpieces largely depends on high-quality pencils.Far from being victims of the digital age, pencil manufacturers are now struggling to deal with growing demand. Faber Castell, the world’s largest wood pencil manufacturer, reveals that in order to meet with the huge demand, it is now having to run extra shifts at its factories.
Questions
1. What is not mentioned as one reason of the popularity of coloring-in books?
2. Why are sales of pencils rising?
3. How does Faber Castell deal with the rising demand?

【原文】
Most parents know it’s difficult to send a child to school for the first time. But for Deb, it felt so painful to part with her daughter that she started to do research and found out about home schooling. “Before then, I had no idea it existed or that it was even legal,“ she tells TV WEEK.
And 12 years later, single mum Deb has home-schooled all six of her kids. “Home-school parenting offers many benefits, the low expenses, the flexible lesson plans and so on,” she says. “But most importantly, it prepares kids for life in the real world because children are not stuck in a classroom with only kids their own age.”
Deb says her approach is very different from other home-schooling parents. “The key difference is that for me, home schooling is a way of life,” she says. “Some parents view life and home schooling as two separate things while I’ve worked my whole life home learning with my kids together, rather than seeing them differently.”
Of course, Deb also has some difficulties to deal with. At her home, kids aren’t allowed to use their phones or computers for 24 hours a day. The ban harms her relationship with some bigger kids. She admitted that she gradually understood the bad effect of having no access to modern technology. She is now talking with her kids about the mobile phone use time at home.
Questions
1. Why did Deb decide to home school her daughter?
2. What does Deb think is the major advantage of home-schooling?
3. What is the difference between Deb’s home-schooling style and that of other parents?

【原文】W: Jack, you look upset. What’s up?
M: Well, I am checking my bill. I just can’t believe that I have spent a fortune on food but much of the food I bought ended up in the trash.
W: Shame on you.
M: But there’s nothing I can do about it.
W: Of course you can do a lot about it. For one thing, you should plan ahead. Before heading to the supermarket, take stock of what you already have at home and plan your menu for the week. It’s the key solution to food waste problem.
M: It takes time.
W: It also saves food and money.
M: I agree. I dine out a lot. Maybe that’s the reason why I spend so much on food.
W: When dining out, whether in a fancy restaurant or a humble café, you could request to take your leftovers home. You need a reusable food container, of course.
M: I see. And I find many foods have short shelf life. It gives me a headache.
W：You should remember that “best by” dates don’t address food safety. They’re only there to indicate peak quality.
M: Really? So I can still eat the food.
W: I think so. But if a “use by” date has passed, you should be careful and better throw it away.
M: It’s complicated.
W: And how do you treat the fruits and vegetables that don’t look fresh?
M: Throw them away.
W: Actually you can process them with salt or freeze them in the fridge. Both ways will give them another lease on life.
M: Gosh. I’ve wasted a lot.
W: No wonder you have spent so much on food.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个多世纪以来，小费一直是美国文化的一个常规组成部分，但新技术的出现和人们期望的转变已经动摇了围绕这一做法的长期规范。

The popularity of digital point-of-sale systems has also meant consumers are being asked to tip more frequently.(数字销售点系统的普及也意味着消费者被要求更频繁地给小费)能够承接上文，符合语境。故选D。
68．根据上文“Tipping also makes labor laws more complicated. In all but a handful of states, employers are allowed to pay tipped workers below minimum wage. In some cases, the standard is as low as $2.13 per hour, as long as workers make enough in tips to earn the equivalent of minimum wage.(给小费也让劳动法变得更加复杂。除了少数几个州外，大多数州都允许雇主支付给有小费的员工低于最低工资。在某些情况下，标准低至每小时2.13美元，只要员工的小费收入足以达到最低工资水平)”可知，此处提到了一种工资支付方式。由此可知，A.

69．根据上文“They say tipping needs to be eliminated and replaced by a fair wage for all service workers. The tipping practice increases the possibility that employees can’t get what they deserve.(他们说，应该取消给小费，代之以对所有服务业工作者的公平工资)”可知，此处指应该取消给小费，代之以对所有服务业工作者的公平工资。由此可知，C. No workers should have their livelihood depend on their customers’ mercy.(任何工人的生计都不应该依赖于顾客的怜悯)能够承接上文，符合语境。故选C。
70．根据下文“It provides a chance for workers to have more control over their financial welfare. If a restaurant is doing well because it’s safely operated, properly managed and delivers great food, customers will usually tip. And when that happens, everyone — from the wait staff to the dishwashers — can share in the business’s success.(它为工人提供了一个对自己的财务福利有更多控制权的机会。如果一家餐馆经营得很好，因为它经营安全，管理得当，提供美味的食物，顾客通常会给小费。当这种情况发生时，从服务员到洗碗工，每个人都可以分享生意的成功)”可知，小费成为一种利润分享方案。由此可知，F. It’s believed that tipping is the ultimate profit-sharing plan.(小费被认为是最终的利润分享方案)能够开启下文，符合语境。故选F。
71．One possible version:
Unlike former heat, today second-hand fashion is back permanently. Compared with fashion-oriented professionals, ordinary people turn to second-hand fashion out of consideration for environment protection. The huge market rise demonstrates its popularity. The upgraded repair and upcycling crafts make further creation possible. Social media also step in, with online celebrities influencing sales to add to the craze.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，与过去不同的是，如今二手时尚永久回归。相比于以时尚为导向的专业人士，普通人出于环保的考虑而选择二手时尚。巨大的市场上涨表明了它的受欢迎程度。升级的维修和升级回收工艺使进一步的创造成为可能。社交媒体也参与进来，网红影响销量，助长了这股热潮。
【详解】1.要点摘录
①Fast forward to the 2020s and second-hand fashion is renewing a new round of craze, and this time, arguably, it’s back for good.
②When super models and designers were buying things at second-hand markets and matching them with expensive pieces, the act was more related to the old ideal of what fashion was — very trend-based and very season-based. Today, ordinary people always want to have new looks but they’re becoming more aware of the impact of their choices on the environment, and the best thing we can do in this climate crisis is to limit the resources we take out of the planet. Second-hand fashion speaks to what’s happening right now.
③The increased crafts of repair and upcycling offer another contemporary dimension to the trend.
④Even social media platforms are on board. “Once you start finding heat at the second-hand fashion shop, it quickly turns into an ever-growing addiction. Each piece has history behind it,” said an online celebrity with 1.7 million followers. He, along with other celebrities posting visits to shops of this kind, has pushed up sales. Their power in the field can’t be neglected.
2.缜密构思 将第1个要点进行总说，将第2、3、4三个要点进行分说。
3.遣词造句
