Plants and exposure to greenery have been found to have mental health benefits and like any new skill or hobby, taking care of houseplants comes with difficulty. Anyone starting to care for plants should be patient and allow themselves time to learn the basics. Here are several plants recommended for giving mental health benefits:
Snake Plant
These popular indoor plants have a striking appearance, with dark green sword-shaped leaves that have yellow or white stripes. It is a great first plant, and is very easy to care for. It grows in spaces with low sunlight, has visual appeal and cleans the air.
Lavender
Well known for its relaxing smell, Lavender has a calming effect, aids in reducing stress, promotes sleep and specially has anti-inflammatory (抗炎的) effects when used as a medicine for skin. You can cut it off and dry the leaves or even put them into your bath.
Pothos
If you want to go bright green, try Pothos. The plants grow long stems that can hang from a pot and grow downward, or the stems can climb and grow upward. They clean the air and look beautiful hanging down a bookcase or shelf.
Lemon Balm
This fragrant green herb is part of the mint family and is simple to plant. Known for its calming properties, it has a light lemony smell and has been used to improve sleep, reduce stress and anxiety.
Basil
The experience of growing, picking and using herbs you’ve grown yourself has a positive impact on your mental health, creating a sense of accomplishment. Eating Basil has health benefits too. It has properties that help to relieve stress and anxiety, and eating it can clear your mind.
1. What do Snake Plant and Pothos have in common?

If Christmas is our nation’s biggest official holiday, certainly Super Bowl Sunday is our biggest unofficial holiday. It’s also a time for friends and family to gather for food, chatter and arguments while watching football games. Meir Kalmanson thought the homeless people, too, should get to celebrate the big day. So, on a cold February Sunday in 2017, as he headed to a Super Bowl party at a New York City club a friend owned, he invited six homeless men he met on the streets to join him.
Over burgers and wine, Kalmanson and his homeless guests watched the Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons. He described the scene as “warm, exciting energy”. But the game played just a small role in the night’s success. More important was the men’s interaction with others. “If you walked in, you couldn’t tell who was homeless and who wasn’t,” says Kalmanson, “As a result, the men felt that they were part of something. They had their dignity restored.”
Then, the following year, when friends and YouTube fans asked about the next party, he knew that the event had already taken on a life of its own. And so began the charitable organization Super Soul Parties. Kalmanson worked with volunteers and homeless shelters in cities to organize the gatherings and transport guests on game day. Last year, more than 2,000 homeless people in 36 cities watched the Los Angeles Rams compete with the Cincinnati Bengals. Kalmanson’s next goal is to spread the celebrations to every state.
4. What inspired Kalmanson to invite the homeless to join in the party?
A. The arrival of Super Bowl Sunday. B. The invitation from YouTube fans.
C. The thought of getting them involved. D. The request from the six homeless men.
5. What do the underlined words “had already taken on a life of its own” mean in paragraph 3?
A The event showed its own power. B. The event reflected its own life.
C. The event itself went on a wrong way. D. The event surprised many people.
6. Which of the following best describes Kalmanson?
A. Wealthy and grateful. B. Careful and determined.
C. Humorous and helpful. D. Sympathetic and ambitious.
7. What’s the text mainly about?
A. How Super Bowl Sunday comes into being.
B. How Kalmanson organizes Super Bowl Sunday.
C. How the homeless celebrate Super Bowl Sunday.
D. How Kalmanson helps the homeless on Super Bowl Sunday.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Meir Kalmanson邀请无家可归的人参加派对，活动有了好的影响，相关的慈善组织被建立。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Meir Kalmanson thought the homeless people, too, should get to celebrate the big day. So, on a cold February Sunday in 2017, as he headed to a Super Bowl party at a New York City club a friend owned, he invited six homeless men he met on the streets to join him.( Meir Kalmanson t认为无家可归的人也应该庆祝这个重要的日子。因此，在2017年2月一个寒冷的周日，当他前往一个朋友开的纽约俱乐部参加超级碗派对时，他邀请了六个在街上遇到的无家可归的人加入他的行列)”可知，让无家可归者参与的想法激发了Kalmanson邀请无家可归者参加派对。故选C。
【5题详解】
句意猜测题。根据画线词后文“And so began the charitable organization Super Soul Parties. Kalmanson worked with volunteers and homeless shelters in cities to organize the gatherings and transport guests on game day.”可知，慈善组织“超级灵魂派对”应运而生。卡曼森与城市里志愿者和无家可归者收容所合作，在比赛日组织聚会和接送客人，说明这个事件显示了它自己的力量，导致了后面的行动。故画线部分意思是“事件显示了它自己的力量”。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s also a time for friends and family to gather for food, chatter and arguments while watching football games. Meir Kalmanson thought the homeless people, too, should get to celebrate the big day.(这也是朋友和家人聚在一起吃饭、聊天、争论、看足球比赛的时候。Meir Kalmanson认为无家可归的人也应该庆祝这个重要的日子)”以及最后一段“Kalmanson’s next goal is to spread the celebrations to every state.( Kalmanson的下一个目标是将庆祝活动传播到每个州)”可推知，Kalmanson富有同情心和雄心勃勃。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“If Christmas is our nation’s biggest official holiday, certainly Super Bowl Sunday is our biggest unofficial holiday. It’s also a time for friends and family to gather for food, chatter and arguments while watching football games. Meir Kalmanson thought the homeless people, too, should get to celebrate the big day. So, on a cold February Sunday in 2017, as he headed to a Super Bowl party at a New York City club a friend owned, he invited six homeless men he met on the streets to join him.(如果圣诞节是我们国家最大的官方节日，那么超级碗星期天当然是我们最大的非官方节日。这也是朋友和家人聚在一起吃饭、聊天、争论、看足球比赛的时候。Meir Kalmanson认为无家可归的人也应该庆祝这个重要的日子。因此，在2017年2月一个寒冷的周日，当他前往一个朋友开的纽约俱乐部参加超级碗派对时，他邀请了六个在街上遇到的无家可归的人加入他的行列)”结合文章主要讲述了Meir Kalmanson邀请无家可归的人参加派对，活动有了好的影响，相关的慈善组织被建立。可知，这篇文章主要讲了Kalmanson如何在超级碗星期天帮助无家可归者。故选D。

A new study of older adults finds too much daytime napping (小睡) may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Investigators from Brigham report a relationship between daytime napping and cognitive (认知的) aging: too much daytime napping predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimer’s, and Alzheimer’s speeds up the increase in daytime napping during aging.
“Daytime sleep behaviors of older adults are often ignored, and an agreement for daytime napping in clinical practice and health care is still lacking,” said Peng Li of the Medical Program in Brigham, “Our team calls for a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patterns — not only nighttime sleep but also daytime sleep—for tracking the health of older adults.”
Researchers at the Brigham recognized that all previous studies on Alzheimer’s disease assessed napping within a participant only once, and most of the studies were subjective and questionnaire-based. In the new study, more individuals, with an average age of 81, were involved. They were provided with Actical, a watch-like device, to wear on their wrist for up to 14 days. After napping periods were identified, the nap duration and frequency were calculated.
The results suggested that too much daytime napping may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s, and that faster yearly increase in daytime napping may be a worsening sign of the disease.
Researchers acknowledge that although the method of the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that Polysomnography (多导睡眠记录仪) is the gold standard for sleep scoring. Moreover, the participants studied are older, and therefore, the findings may not be easily translated to younger people. In addition, future studies should test whether a direct intervention in daytime napping can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s or cognitive decline.
“We hope to draw more attention to daytime sleep patterns,” said co-senior author Kun Hu of the Medical Program. “Sleep changes are critical in shaping the internal changes in the brain.”
8. What is the possible relationship between daytime napping and Alzheimer’s disease?
A. More daytime napping causes Alzheimer’s disease.
B. Alzheimer’s disease can be prevented by more daytime napping.
C. Alzheimer’s disease decreases the time spent on daytime napping.
D. More daytime napping indicates a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
9. What can we learn about the new study according to the passage?
A. The sample size was larger.
B. It only recorded the daytime napping.
C. The study was based on questionnaires.
D. Its findings can be applied to younger generations.
10. What will interest the researchers in future studies?
A. The patterns of nighttime sleep.
B. The symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
C. The application of the new study method.
D. The effect of an intervention in daytime napping.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Alzheimer’s: a Sign of Aging
B. Actical: a Device of Recording Napping
C. Closely Linked: Daytime Napping and Alzheimer’s
D. Slightly Different: Daytime Sleep and Nighttime Sleep
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】

Seagrass meadows (海草床) are wonder plants growing beneath the sea. They feed and shelter sea life and are masterful at storing carbon. Thanks to the assistance of tiger sharks, a huge seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks has been discovered, offering the world a tool to fight climate change.
Seagrass has usually been detected by Earth-orbiting satellites that identify darker spots in the blue water. In a recent study, tiger sharks were selected as research tools due to their highly consistent associations with seagrass ecosystems. They spent 70% of their time in seagrass meadows. The team equipped eight tiger sharks with satellite labels, seven sharks with camera labels, and used a 360-degree camera on a shark for the first time ever.
The data researchers collected was astonishing. The world’s largest seagrass ecosystem, measuring at least 66,900 square kilometers, has been discovered. This reflects a 41% increase from previous estimates of global seagrass. Seagrass can capture (捕获) huge quantities of carbon by photosynthesis (光合作用) and stores it on the seafloor. In terms of climate change, this is excellent news; seagrass is 35 times faster at removing carbon than tropical rainforests. When referring to global seagrass carbon stock estimates, the study indicates that seagrass in the Bahamas may contain 19.2% to 26.3% of all the carbon stored in seagrass meadows on Earth.
Yet seagrass meadows are rapidly disappearing with over 92% of meadows in the UK gone, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Scientists are collecting seeds and trying to grow new seagrass meadows through restoration projects. This new discovery offers optimism and proves the importance of the ocean for healing.
The sharks led us to the seagrass ecosystem in the Bahamas, which we now know is likely the most significant blue carbon sink on the planet. What this discovery shows us is that ocean exploration and research are essential for a healthy future. The undeveloped potential of the ocean is limitless. These meadows can be protected and can be copied, offering hope for climate change around the globe.
12. How was the seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks discovered?
A. By analyzing satellites images.
B. By keeping track of tiger sharks.
C. By using a 360-degree camera.
D. By carrying out restoration projects.
13. What is the benefit of seagrass in terms of climate change?
A. Seagrass provides food for tiger sharks.
B. Seagrass stores large amounts of carbon.
C. Seagrass absorbs wastes from the ocean.
D. Seagrass supplies a habitat to sea animals.
14. What is the main message conveyed in the passage?
A. Tiger sharks are a tool to detect seagrass meadows.
B. Seagrass meadows are disappearing at an alarming rate.
C. Scientists are making progress in restoring seagrass meadows.
D. Seagrass meadows have a great potential to fight climate change.
15. What is the writer’s attitude towards the discovery of seagrass meadows?
A. Concerned. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，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。
Digital technologies are taking up too much of our time and attention. Many of us will spend a significant part of our lives staring at screens, missing out on satisfying relationships and feeling more emotional pain. For many years, we’ve been taught that the solution to this potential harm is some form of digital detox (脱瘾), which mainly shows us what not to do after our digital addiction. ____16____ Try the following three steps to achieve balance in your and your family’s digital life:
Determine your problem times
Identify the times and situations when being on screens is making your life worse. It could be when you are streaming a TV series right before bed, feeling depressed afterward and losing hours of sleep. Or you could be getting stuck on your device at the dinner table and end up getting distracted. ____17____ Identify your top two or three problem situations.
____18____
Once you identify the pain points, for example, scrolling (滚动浏览) on TikTok for hours keeps you from sleeping and makes you feel depressed afterward), ask yourself: What is screen time replacing and what goals is it serving? In other words, what are you actually hungry for? You might be endlessly scrolling because you want to feel uplifted at the end of the day. Write down the things you really want.
Try a substitute
____19____ It’s crucial to pick something that consistently makes you feel good. For example, if your goal is social connection, make plans for a nice meal with a friend or take that weekly meeting in person rather than via Zoom. If your goal is inspiration, schedule time for oil painting, reading historical fiction or whatever it is that uplifts you. ____20____ And at last, you will become empowered, healthy and wise digital citizens.
A. Identify your true desire.
B. Determine your pain points.
C. Pretty soon, these replacements will make you feel more satisfied.
D. But the only way to truly gain control is to take positive steps in advance.
E. Or maybe you are inefficient at work because you’re doing too much online shopping.
F. Ask yourself how you can meet those needs through something other than screen time.
G. If your digital life is out of balance, reducing time on devices is an important first step.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。数字技术占用了我们太多的时间和注意力，针对这个问题，作者介绍了三个具体的步骤解决。
【16题详解】
后文“Try the following three steps to achieve balance in your and your family’s digital life: (尝试以下三个步骤来平衡你和你家人的数字生活:)”作者提出三个具体的步骤解决问题。结合选项，D项“But the only way to truly gain control is to take positive steps in advance. (但真正获得控制的唯一方法是提前采取积极的步骤。)”语意顺承。且同词复现“steps”。故选D。
【17题详解】
前文“Or you could be getting stuck on your device at the dinner table and end up getting distracted. (或者你可能会在餐桌上沉迷于你的电子设备，最终分心。)”介绍沉迷电子设备的可能场景或者原因。结合选项，E项“Or maybe you are inefficient at work because you’re doing too much online shopping. (或者你工作效率低下，因为你在网上购物太多了。)”同为介绍介绍沉迷电子设备的可能场景或者原因，语意一致。故选E。
【18题详解】
本句应为小标题。下文“In other words, what are you actually hungry for? (换句话说，你到底在渴望什么?)”作者建议找到真正的愿望。结合选项，A项“Identify your true desire. (确定你真正的愿望。)”为中心句，总领下文。故选A。
【19题详解】
小标题“Try a substitute (试一试替代品)”作者建议找替代品来减少屏幕时间。结合选项，F项“Ask yourself how you can meet those needs through something other than screen time. (问问你自己，如何通过屏幕时间以外的东西来满足这些需求。)”照应小标题，反思自己如何通过屏幕时间以外的东西来满足这些需求。故选F。
【20题详解】
前文“If your goal is inspiration, schedule time for oil painting, reading historical fiction or whatever it is that uplifts you. (如果你的目标是灵感，那就安排时间画油画、读历史小说或任何能让你振奋的东西。)”是作者给出的具体建议。结合选项，C项“Pretty soon, these replacements will make you feel more satisfied. (很快，这些替代品会让你感到更满意。)”承接上文，符合逻辑关系。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是中国24节气之一——惊蛰。
【36题详解】

【37题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：作为太阳年的第三个节气，它的名字是指在冬天睡觉的动物被春雷唤醒，地球开始恢复生机。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据其后面句子“that the earth begins to come back to life.”中的谓语动词begins可知，此处应使用一般现在时态，且wake与句子主语之间为被动关系，句子中主语为animals为复数名词。故填are woken。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：惊蛰对农民来说是一个极其重要的日子，人们普遍认为这是农业工作最繁忙时期的开始。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰形容词important，extreme的副词为extremely意为“极其地”符合句意。故填extremely。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：惊蛰对农民来说是一个极其重要的日子，人们普遍认为这是农业工作最繁忙时期的开始。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作定语，修饰time，结合句意以及定冠词the可知，此处应使用形容词最高级形式。故填busiest。
【40题详解】

【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：根据中国古代民间故事，白虎是带来争吵的动物。分析句子结构可知，story为可数名词单数，其前需要有限定词，结合句意，此处表示泛指，所以使用不定冠词，空后的ancient的首个音素为元音。故填an。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：据说被白虎咬过的人一生中会遇到坏人，带来厄运。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语，bite与所修饰词those之间为被动关系，所以使用过去分词形式。故填bitten。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：因此，人们会在惊蛰期间向白虎供奉食物和水果，以保护自己。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语offer … to ...意为“给……提供……”符合句意。故填to。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：因此，人们会在惊蛰期间向白虎供奉食物和水果，以保护自己。分析句子结构可知，此处为protect的宾语，且句子主语和宾语指的是同一人，所以应使用反身代词，people为名词复数，所以指代people用they，其反身代词为themselves。故填themselves。

47. 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。
I live with my husband, Tyrone, in San Luis Obispo, California, about three miles from the beach. Every few years, the humpback whales come into the bay for a few days while migrating. November 2020 was one of those times, so we took out our yellow double kayak (皮艇) to watch the wildlife. We paddled (用桨划船) out the sea and saw seals, dolphins, and about 20 whales feeding on silverfish. We were in amazement watching these graceful giant creatures — each one about 50 feet long—spray through their blowholes.
At the time, my friend Liz was staying with us. The next day, I asked her if she wanted to go out on the water to see them. With no such experience, she refused. “There’s nothing to worry about,” I assured her. “The boat is stable, and we can turn back anytime.” Finally, she agreed to join me. I didn’t want her to miss this great experience and regret it later.
At 8:30 the following morning when we got out on the water, there were already about 15 other kayakers and surfers in the bay. After a half-hour, we had our first whale sighting: two humpbacks swimming toward us. How amazing to be that close to a creature that size, I thought, as the whales dipped under the waterline.
When the whales went down, they left what looked like oil on the water. I figured if we paddled toward that spot, we’d be safe from the whales, since they’d just left. We followed them at a distance—or what I thought was a distance. Suddenly, a tightly packed group of silverfish started jumping out of the water into our kayak. Oh no! We were being attacked.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

Paragraph 2: Meanwhile, a kayaker paddled over.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
What should have been a joyful moment was actually terrifying. In a split of second, our kayak was lifted out of the water about six feet by the massive jaws. Liz and I slipped out of the kayak into the whale’s mouth. My body was engulfed except for my right arm and paddle. So was Liz. As the whale’s mouth closed, Liz thrust her arm up to block it from crushing her. Feeling the creature begin to dive, I had to do everything possible to stop it. Suddenly, the paddle beside caught my eyes. Without hesitation, I seized the paddle, raised it to keep its mouth open. After a deep breath, I caught Liz by the arm and jumped out into the water.
Paragraph 2:
Meanwhile, a kayaker paddled over. Upon getting close to us, he immediately stretched out his paddle, pulled us out of water and into his kayak, heading to the beach. It was until that moment that I recovered from the terror. Never was I so much more aware of the power of nature and the ocean than I was before. Liz was shaken up, likening the horrific experience to a near-death one, and she said her whale-watching days were over. But even she had to laugh when she got home that afternoon and realized she'd brought back a souvenir. When she pulled off her shirt, six silverfish flopped out.
【解析】

Plants and exposure to greenery have been found to have mental health benefits and like any new skill or hobby, taking care of houseplants comes with difficulty. Anyone starting to care for plants should be patient and allow themselves time to learn the basics. Here are several plants recommended for giving mental health benefits:
Snake Plant
These popular indoor plants have a striking appearance, with dark green sword-shaped leaves that have yellow or white stripes. It is a great first plant, and is very easy to care for. It grows in spaces with low sunlight, has visual appeal and cleans the air.
Lavender
Well known for its relaxing smell, Lavender has a calming effect, aids in reducing stress, promotes sleep and specially has anti-inflammatory (抗炎的) effects when used as a medicine for skin. You can cut it off and dry the leaves or even put them into your bath.
Pothos
If you want to go bright green, try Pothos. The plants grow long stems that can hang from a pot and grow downward, or the stems can climb and grow upward. They clean the air and look beautiful hanging down a bookcase or shelf.
Lemon Balm
This fragrant green herb is part of the mint family and is simple to plant. Known for its calming properties, it has a light lemony smell and has been used to improve sleep, reduce stress and anxiety.
Basil
The experience of growing, picking and using herbs you’ve grown yourself has a positive impact on your mental health, creating a sense of accomplishment. Eating Basil has health benefits too. It has properties that help to relieve stress and anxiety, and eating it can clear your mind.
1. What do Snake Plant and Pothos have in common?

【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种有益于心理健康的植物。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Snake Plant部分中的“It grows in spaces with low sunlight, has visual appeal and cleans the air. (它生长在低阳光的空间，具有视觉吸引力和清洁的空气。)”和Pothos部分中的“They clean the air and look beautiful hanging down a bookcase or shelf. (它们能净化空气，挂在书架上看起来很漂亮。)”可知，Snake Plant和Pothos的共同之处是它们都能净化空气，故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Lavender部分中的“Well known for its relaxing smell, Lavender has a calming effect, aids in reducing stress, promotes sleep and specially has anti-inflammatory (抗炎的) effects when used as a medicine for skin. (Lavender以其令人放松的气味而闻名，它具有镇静作用，帮助减轻压力，促进睡眠，特别是当用作皮肤药物时具有抗炎作用。)”可知，Lavender的特别之处是抗炎症。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Basil部分中的“Eating Basil has health benefits too. It has properties that help to relieve stress and anxiety, and eating it can clear your mind. (吃Basil也有益健康。它有帮助缓解压力和焦虑的特性，吃它可以使你的头脑清醒。)”可知，Basil是能吃的，且对身体有益，所以如果你是个厨师，Basil可能出现在你的菜单上，故选A。
B
If Christmas is our nation’s biggest official holiday, certainly Super Bowl Sunday is our biggest unofficial holiday. It’s also a time for friends and family to gather for food, chatter and arguments while watching football games. Meir Kalmanson thought the homeless people, too, should get to celebrate the big day. So, on a cold February Sunday in 2017, as he headed to a Super Bowl party at a New York City club a friend owned, he invited six homeless men he met on the streets to join him.
Over burgers and wine, Kalmanson and his homeless guests watched the Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons. He described the scene as “warm, exciting energy”. But the game played just a small role in the night’s success. More important was the men’s interaction with others. “If you walked in, you couldn’t tell who was homeless and who wasn’t,” says Kalmanson, “As a result, the men felt that they were part of something. They had their dignity restored.”
Then, the following year, when friends and YouTube fans asked about the next party, he knew that the event had already taken on a life of its own. And so began the charitable organization Super Soul Parties. Kalmanson worked with volunteers and homeless shelters in cities to organize the gatherings and transport guests on game day. Last year, more than 2,000 homeless people in 36 cities watched the Los Angeles Rams compete with the Cincinnati Bengals. Kalmanson’s next goal is to spread the celebrations to every state.
4. What inspired Kalmanson to invite the homeless to join in the party?
A. The arrival of Super Bowl Sunday. B. The invitation from YouTube fans.
C. The thought of getting them involved. D. The request from the six homeless men.
5. What do the underlined words “had already taken on a life of its own” mean in paragraph 3?
A The event showed its own power. B. The event reflected its own life.
C. The event itself went on a wrong way. D. The event surprised many people.
6. Which of the following best describes Kalmanson?
A. Wealthy and grateful. B. Careful and determined.
C. Humorous and helpful. D. Sympathetic and ambitious.
7. What’s the text mainly about?
A. How Super Bowl Sunday comes into being.
B. How Kalmanson organizes Super Bowl Sunday.
C. How the homeless celebrate Super Bowl Sunday.
D. How Kalmanson helps the homeless on Super Bowl Sunday.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Meir Kalmanson邀请无家可归的人参加派对，活动有了好的影响，相关的慈善组织被建立。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Meir Kalmanson thought the homeless people, too, should get to celebrate the big day. So, on a cold February Sunday in 2017, as he headed to a Super Bowl party at a New York City club a friend owned, he invited six homeless men he met on the streets to join him.( Meir Kalmanson t认为无家可归的人也应该庆祝这个重要的日子。因此，在2017年2月一个寒冷的周日，当他前往一个朋友开的纽约俱乐部参加超级碗派对时，他邀请了六个在街上遇到的无家可归的人加入他的行列)”可知，让无家可归者参与的想法激发了Kalmanson邀请无家可归者参加派对。故选C。
【5题详解】
句意猜测题。根据画线词后文“And so began the charitable organization Super Soul Parties. Kalmanson worked with volunteers and homeless shelters in cities to organize the gatherings and transport guests on game day.”可知，慈善组织“超级灵魂派对”应运而生。卡曼森与城市里志愿者和无家可归者收容所合作，在比赛日组织聚会和接送客人，说明这个事件显示了它自己的力量，导致了后面的行动。故画线部分意思是“事件显示了它自己的力量”。故选A。

A new study of older adults finds too much daytime napping (小睡) may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Investigators from Brigham report a relationship between daytime napping and cognitive (认知的) aging: too much daytime napping predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimer’s, and Alzheimer’s speeds up the increase in daytime napping during aging.
“Daytime sleep behaviors of older adults are often ignored, and an agreement for daytime napping in clinical practice and health care is still lacking,” said Peng Li of the Medical Program in Brigham, “Our team calls for a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patterns — not only nighttime sleep but also daytime sleep—for tracking the health of older adults.”
Researchers at the Brigham recognized that all previous studies on Alzheimer’s disease assessed napping within a participant only once, and most of the studies were subjective and questionnaire-based. In the new study, more individuals, with an average age of 81, were involved. They were provided with Actical, a watch-like device, to wear on their wrist for up to 14 days. After napping periods were identified, the nap duration and frequency were calculated.
The results suggested that too much daytime napping may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s, and that faster yearly increase in daytime napping may be a worsening sign of the disease.
Researchers acknowledge that although the method of the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that Polysomnography (多导睡眠记录仪) is the gold standard for sleep scoring. Moreover, the participants studied are older, and therefore, the findings may not be easily translated to younger people. In addition, future studies should test whether a direct intervention in daytime napping can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s or cognitive decline.
“We hope to draw more attention to daytime sleep patterns,” said co-senior author Kun Hu of the Medical Program. “Sleep changes are critical in shaping the internal changes in the brain.”
8. What is the possible relationship between daytime napping and Alzheimer’s disease?
A. More daytime napping causes Alzheimer’s disease.
B. Alzheimer’s disease can be prevented by more daytime napping.
C. Alzheimer’s disease decreases the time spent on daytime napping.
D. More daytime napping indicates a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
9. What can we learn about the new study according to the passage?
A. The sample size was larger.
B. It only recorded the daytime napping.
C. The study was based on questionnaires.
D. Its findings can be applied to younger generations.
10. What will interest the researchers in future studies?
A. The patterns of nighttime sleep.
B. The symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
C. The application of the new study method.
D. The effect of an intervention in daytime napping.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Alzheimer’s: a Sign of Aging
B. Actical: a Device of Recording Napping
C. Closely Linked: Daytime Napping and Alzheimer’s
D. Slightly Different: Daytime Sleep and Nighttime Sleep

Seagrass meadows (海草床) are wonder plants growing beneath the sea. They feed and shelter sea life and are masterful at storing carbon. Thanks to the assistance of tiger sharks, a huge seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks has been discovered, offering the world a tool to fight climate change.
Seagrass has usually been detected by Earth-orbiting satellites that identify darker spots in the blue water. In a recent study, tiger sharks were selected as research tools due to their highly consistent associations with seagrass ecosystems. They spent 70% of their time in seagrass meadows. The team equipped eight tiger sharks with satellite labels, seven sharks with camera labels, and used a 360-degree camera on a shark for the first time ever.
The data researchers collected was astonishing. The world’s largest seagrass ecosystem, measuring at least 66,900 square kilometers, has been discovered. This reflects a 41% increase from previous estimates of global seagrass. Seagrass can capture (捕获) huge quantities of carbon by photosynthesis (光合作用) and stores it on the seafloor. In terms of climate change, this is excellent news; seagrass is 35 times faster at removing carbon than tropical rainforests. When referring to global seagrass carbon stock estimates, the study indicates that seagrass in the Bahamas may contain 19.2% to 26.3% of all the carbon stored in seagrass meadows on Earth.
Yet seagrass meadows are rapidly disappearing with over 92% of meadows in the UK gone, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Scientists are collecting seeds and trying to grow new seagrass meadows through restoration projects. This new discovery offers optimism and proves the importance of the ocean for healing.
The sharks led us to the seagrass ecosystem in the Bahamas, which we now know is likely the most significant blue carbon sink on the planet. What this discovery shows us is that ocean exploration and research are essential for a healthy future. The undeveloped potential of the ocean is limitless. These meadows can be protected and can be copied, offering hope for climate change around the globe.
12. How was the seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks discovered?
A. By analyzing satellites images.
B. By keeping track of tiger sharks.
C. By using a 360-degree camera.
D. By carrying out restoration projects.
13. What is the benefit of seagrass in terms of climate change?
A. Seagrass provides food for tiger sharks.
B. Seagrass stores large amounts of carbon.
C. Seagrass absorbs wastes from the ocean.
D. Seagrass supplies a habitat to sea animals.
14. What is the main message conveyed in the passage?
A. Tiger sharks are a tool to detect seagrass meadows.
B. Seagrass meadows are disappearing at an alarming rate.
C. Scientists are making progress in restoring seagrass meadows.
D. Seagrass meadows have a great potential to fight climate change.
15. What is the writer’s attitude towards the discovery of seagrass meadows?
A. Concerned. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. B

阅读下面短文，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。
Digital technologies are taking up too much of our time and attention. Many of us will spend a significant part of our lives staring at screens, missing out on satisfying relationships and feeling more emotional pain. For many years, we’ve been taught that the solution to this potential harm is some form of digital detox (脱瘾), which mainly shows us what not to do after our digital addiction. ____16____ Try the following three steps to achieve balance in your and your family’s digital life:
Determine your problem times
Identify the times and situations when being on screens is making your life worse. It could be when you are streaming a TV series right before bed, feeling depressed afterward and losing hours of sleep. Or you could be getting stuck on your device at the dinner table and end up getting distracted. ____17____ Identify your top two or three problem situations.
____18____
Once you identify the pain points, for example, scrolling (滚动浏览) on TikTok for hours keeps you from sleeping and makes you feel depressed afterward), ask yourself: What is screen time replacing and what goals is it serving? In other words, what are you actually hungry for? You might be endlessly scrolling because you want to feel uplifted at the end of the day. Write down the things you really want.
Try a substitute
____19____ It’s crucial to pick something that consistently makes you feel good. For example, if your goal is social connection, make plans for a nice meal with a friend or take that weekly meeting in person rather than via Zoom. If your goal is inspiration, schedule time for oil painting, reading historical fiction or whatever it is that uplifts you. ____20____ And at last, you will become empowered, healthy and wise digital citizens.
A. Identify your true desire.
B. Determine your pain points.
C. Pretty soon, these replacements will make you feel more satisfied.
D. But the only way to truly gain control is to take positive steps in advance.
E. Or maybe you are inefficient at work because you’re doing too much online shopping.
F. Ask yourself how you can meet those needs through something other than screen time.
G. If your digital life is out of balance, reducing time on devices is an important first step.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. C

【答案】Dear fellow students,
With the approach of the Asian Games, The National Fitness Program is proceeding with full vigor(正在如火如荼地进行). Here, on behalf of the Student Union, I strongly advocate that every student should take an active part in it.

47. 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。
I live with my husband, Tyrone, in San Luis Obispo, California, about three miles from the beach. Every few years, the humpback whales come into the bay for a few days while migrating. November 2020 was one of those times, so we took out our yellow double kayak (皮艇) to watch the wildlife. We paddled (用桨划船) out the sea and saw seals, dolphins, and about 20 whales feeding on silverfish. We were in amazement watching these graceful giant creatures — each one about 50 feet long—spray through their blowholes.
At the time, my friend Liz was staying with us. The next day, I asked her if she wanted to go out on the water to see them. With no such experience, she refused. “There’s nothing to worry about,” I assured her. “The boat is stable, and we can turn back anytime.” Finally, she agreed to join me. I didn’t want her to miss this great experience and regret it later.
At 8:30 the following morning when we got out on the water, there were already about 15 other kayakers and surfers in the bay. After a half-hour, we had our first whale sighting: two humpbacks swimming toward us. How amazing to be that close to a creature that size, I thought, as the whales dipped under the waterline.
When the whales went down, they left what looked like oil on the water. I figured if we paddled toward that spot, we’d be safe from the whales, since they’d just left. We followed them at a distance—or what I thought was a distance. Suddenly, a tightly packed group of silverfish started jumping out of the water into our kayak. Oh no! We were being attacked.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
What should have been a joyful moment was actually terrifying. In a split of second, our kayak was lifted out of the water about six feet by the massive jaws. Liz and I slipped out of the kayak into the whale’s mouth. My body was engulfed except for my right arm and paddle. So was Liz. As the whale’s mouth closed, Liz thrust her arm up to block it from crushing her. Feeling the creature begin to dive, I had to do everything possible to stop it. Suddenly, the paddle beside caught my eyes. Without hesitation, I seized the paddle, raised it to keep its mouth open. After a deep breath, I caught Liz by the arm and jumped out into the water.
Paragraph 2:
Meanwhile, a kayaker paddled over. Upon getting close to us, he immediately stretched out his paddle, pulled us out of water and into his kayak, heading to the beach. It was until that moment that I recovered from the terror. Never was I so much more aware of the power of nature and the ocean than I was before. Liz was shaken up, likening the horrific experience to a near-death one, and she said her whale-watching days were over. But even she had to laugh when she got home that afternoon and realized she'd brought back a souvenir. When she pulled off her shirt, six silverfish flopped out.
