Travelling as a father and daughter is more than sightseeing — it’s about seeing the world from each other’s point of view.
Colorado Springs, Colorado
If you and your dad are the outdoorsy types, Colorado Springs is ideal for dusting off those hiking shoes and hitting some of the most beautiful part of the Front Range. Explore the iconic Garden of the Gods, where red sandstone is sharpened into striking towers. Head to the famous Pike’s Peak to test your courage and take in some of the best views in Colorado.
After the adventure, visit a pub to celebrate your successful trip as a perfect complement to a long day outdoors.
Las Vegas, Nevada
Whatever you fancy on a vacation, Las Vegas has it, making it a perfect destination for fathers and daughters looking for a place that will keep them busy until they board their flight home. Just visit the big-name casinos (赌场) like the Venetian and Caesar’s Palace, or pop into one of the many A-list shows for world-class entertainment options.
Museum-goers will be spoiled for choice, to dive into the history of organized crime at the Mob Museum, or walk among historic signs at the Neon Museum.
Austin, Texas
With arich culture, Austin is great for a barbecue-appreciating, eclectic-music-loving father-daughter duo (搭档). The “Live Music Capital of the World” has more than 250 music venues featuring everything from country and rock to electronica (电子乐). If you have wide-ranging music tastes, make your way to the Red River Cultural District, where institutions invite cutting-edge indie, rock, and hip-hop artists to the stage.
You’re bound to have an appetite after rocking out so hard, so get a protein boost there. Smoking beef, tasty sausages and snacks are anything but ordinary.

After spending almost a year and a half in near-total isolation some 230 feet underground, Beatriz Flamini emerged from a cave in southern Spain and asked: Who’s buying the beer?
The climber and mountaineer had entered the cave in Granada on Nov. 21, 2021, determined to spend 500 days alone-monitored from afar by a group of scientists-to explore the effects of isolation on the human body and mind.
Flamini was 48 years old when she went down, and 50 when she officially completed the challenge on Friday.
After resurfacig, Flamini embraced supporters, met with her doctors and spent nearly an hour talking to the reporters who had gathered outside. She told them she was ready for a drink and a shower but could have stayed in the cave longer.
Flamini’s team says she spent her days reading, drawing, exercising, knitting wooly hats and recording herself with two GoPros. Spanish production company Dokumalia plans to turn her experience into a documentary, NBC reports.
Flamini said she’d lost track of time after about two months in the cave, and thought she had only been in there for some 160 or 170 days. She described the experience as “superb, matchless”, telling reporters that she never even considered hitting the panic button. “In fact, I didn’t want to come out,” she said.
Flamini’s months in the cave were spent in silence and solitude but not without remote supervision. Before going underground, she told her team not to contact her under any circumstances, even a family member’s death.
“If it’s no communication, it’s no communication regardless of the circumstances,” she said according to NBC News. “The people who know me knew and respected that.”
A technical problem forced Flamini to briefly pause the challenge around Day 300, the Associated Press reports. She spent eight days in a tent, without making contact with anyone, before returning to the cave.
4. Why did Flamini decide to live in the cave?
A. To experience a new life style in a cave.
B. To test the limit on human living in caves.
C. To investigate how isolation affects human.
D. To break the record of living underground.
5. What did Flamini do in the cave?
A. She made a documentary.
B. She knitted wooly sweater.
C. She worked out on her own.
D. She used GoPros to track time.
6. What did Flamini think of her stay in the cave?
A. It was panic but fulfilling.
B. It was long but rewarding.
C. It was unbearable but valuable.
D. It was awesome and unbeatable.
7. What does the underlined word “solitude” probably mean?
A. Being alone.
B. Being excited.
C. Being independent.
D. Being self-disciplined.
C
During the last few years we have lived through a series of worrying global events, from the COVID pandemic to devastating wildfires.Instead of feeling informed after watching the news, many people feel anxious, upset and sick. A new study published in Journal of Health Communication investigated into this problem.
According to the study, stress, anxiety, and poor health follow people who have a constant urge to check the news. For these individuals, a vicious (恶性的) cycle can develop in which, rather than tuning out, they become drawn further in, checking for updates around the clock to relieve their emotional stress. But it doesn’t help, and the more they check the news, the more it begins to interfere (干扰) with other aspects of their lives.
Of the 1,100 people surveyed for the study, 16.5 percent became so absorbed in the news that it dominated their thoughts, limited the time they spent with family and friends and made it difficult to focus on school or work, Those are the very things-purposeful engagement and social connection-that help us cope with stress and mental health challenges.
According to Bryan MeLaughlin,one of the authors,the findings show that people should develop a healthier relationship with the news.“For example,previous research has shown that individuals who became concerned about the bad effects that their constant attention to COVID-19 was having on their mental health reported making the conscious decision to tune out.This comes at the expense of an individual’s access to important information for their health and safety. This is why a healthy relationship with news consumption is an ideal situation,” he said.
In addition, the study also calls out the need for a wider discussion about how the news industry may be fueling the problem. Journalists often focus on selecting “newsworthy” stories that would grab news consumers’ attention because of the economic pressures. “However, for certain types of people, news stories not only grab their attention and draw them in, but also can be harmful to individuals’ health,”McLaughlin said.
8. What does the underlined phrase “this problem” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. That news addiction may bring negative effects.
B. That COVID-19 affects people’s mental health.
C. That people are exposed to too much information.
D. That journalists focus on terrifying stories to impress readers.
9. Who may be easier to be affected by the news?
A. People with difficulty in socializing.
B. People with a burning thirst for news.
C. People who have trouble focusing on school or work.
D. People who love to share their feelings on the Internet.
10. What might Bryan McLaughlin agree with?
A. The press is regarded as a booming industry.
B. People should avoid being engaged in the news.
C. Journalists should focus on newsworthy stories.
D. People should find balance between staying informed and maintaining health.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Healthy News Consumption Is Crucial
B. News Addiction Links to Poor Well-being
C. How News Industry Fuels News Addiction
D Highly Informed Readers Suffer From Anxiety
D
The Earth’s ozone (臭氧) layer is on its way to recovering, thanks to decades of work to get rid of ozone-damaging chemicals, a panel of international experts backed by the United Nations has found.
The ozone layer serves an important function for living things on Earth. This shield in the stratosphere (平流层) protects humans and the environment from harmful levels of the sun’s radiation.
The international community was alarmed after experts discovered a hole in the ozone layer in May 1985. Scientists had previously discovered that chemicals, used in manufacturing certain sprays and used as refrigerants (制冷剂), could destroy ozone. Two years after the discovery of the dreadful state of the ozone layer, international bodies adopted a global agreement called the Montreal Protocol. This established the phaseout (逐步淘汰) of almost 100 man-made chemicals that were tied to the destruction of the all-important ozone.
In the latest report on the progress of the Montreal Protocol, the UN-backed panel confirmed that nearly 99% of banned ozone-eating substances have been phased out. If current policies stay in place, the ozone layer is expected to recover to 1980 values by 2040, the United Nations announced. In some places, it may take longer. Experts said that 1980-level recovery over Antarctica is expected by around 2066 and by 2045 over the Arctic.
The destruction of the ozone layer is not a major cause of climate change. But research is showing that these efforts to save the ozone layer are proving beneficial in the fight against climate change. “Ozone action is a pioneer for climate action,” said World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General Petteri Taalas. “Our success in phasing out ozone-eating chemicals shows us that what can and must be done-as a matter of urgency-to shift away from fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse gases and so limit temperature increase.”
12. Why did the international community start to protect the ozone layer?
A. Because the Montreal Protocol was signed.
B. Because chemicals could destroy the ozone layer.
C. Because a hole in the ozone layer was discovered.
D. Because the stratosphere is harmful to human health.
13. Which of the following can NOT help protect the ozone layer?
A. Using less hair-setting spray.
B. Increasing refrigerant production.
C. Minimizing the use of cold air-conditioner.
D. Phasing out ozone-consuming substances.
14. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The Montreal Protocol is taking effect.
B. The ozone layer will fully recover by 2040.
C. The Montreal Protocol needs to be improved.
D. The ozone layer protection has a long way to go.
15. What can be inferred from Petteri Taalas’ words?
A. Climate protection has led to the ozone protection.
B. The destruction of ozone layer didn’t cause climate change.
C. It’s an urgency to reduce the use of ozone-eating chemicals.
D. Ozone protection guides our future efforts in climate action.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Accept Tricky Feelings
Imagine that you only felt so-called positive feelings, like excitement, joy and safety. ____16____. Being human means we experience various emotions, even painful or uncomfortable ones. Accepting them is important and can improve your well-being.
Do you notice uncomfortable feelings?
When you accept that difficult emotions are normal and temporary, you’re often able to cope with them. Psychologists have found that people who allow themselves to feel a range of emotions, including painful ones, are often more at peace than people who try to avoid or push uncomfortable feelings away._____17_____
Does that mean all behaviour is OK?
If you allow yourself to feel angry, for example, that doesn’t mean you can throw things around or behave unkindly. Anita Garai, a well-being teacher and author of Being With Our Feelings, says that if we allow ourselves to feel painful emotions,including anger, it’s less likely these feelings will boil over and result in unpleasant actions. “____18____,” she says. “By listening to them, you can learn more about your needs and choose the best way to respond.”
____19____?
Garai suggeststhe first step is to notice and examine the uncomfortable feeling in your body. “Where in your body can you feel it? Is it still or moving? Can you describe the movement?” she says. It may be that the feeling reminds you of a colour, shape, sound or texture. “By paying attention to the feeling in this way, it’s less likely that you’ll ignore it,” explains Garai. ____20____. Many people find it comforting and inspiring to read about characters who accept, manage and overcome tricky emotions.
A. Another tool is to read
B. You may feel it’s like a wonderland
C. It might sound great but it’s unrealistic
D. Do you examine the tricky feelings in your body
E. How can you learn to accept uncomfortable feelings

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。
Ken Scott kicked of the covers and leapt out of bed at his home in the Rocky Mountain town of Mullan,Idaho.It was 6 a.m.on January 7, 2020, and he was on a mission: He’d just heard on the radio that the nearby Silver Mountain Resort had been blessed with nearly a foot and a half of new snow. As a ski addict who’d worked in the industry for the past 30 years as a ski patroller (滑雪巡逻员)and equipment salesperson, he didn’t want to miss this perfect skiing chance. These conditions are what skiers live for-even experienced and skilled as Scott, who, at 55, still skied 100 days a year.
When Scott reached Silver Mountain’s locker room, he ran into his friend Warren, 58, a former ski instructor who had also been a regular on these slopes for more than two decades.
“Can you believe it?” he said as they changed into their boots. “Sixteen inches! Are you ready?”
For the next hour, the pair skied on various runs under a lightly gloomy sky, making fresh tracks. They were both in a playful mood. Finally, they reached 16-to-1, an expert-level trail, which was now open. It had been closed all season over concerns that skiers might cause an avalanche (雪崩). But that morning, patrollers had cleared loose snow on the peak, reducing the chance of a snowslide.
“What do you think?” asked Warren.
“Let’s go for it!” Scott replied.
When they reached the top of 16-to-1, Warren excitedly looked back at Scott. The huge, toothy grin on his bearded face was what he needed. He pointed his skis downhill and took off. So thrilled were they that they isolated everything around them. Flying on the trail, despite the biting wind, their hearts burnt with passion for this great skiing. Whoomph! A sudden roar from behind nearly deafened them.
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。
In a second, they realized what was happening.

After spending almost a year and a half in near-total isolation some 230 feet underground, Beatriz Flamini emerged from a cave in southern Spain and asked: Who’s buying the beer?
The climber and mountaineer had entered the cave in Granada on Nov. 21, 2021, determined to spend 500 days alone-monitored from afar by a group of scientists-to explore the effects of isolation on the human body and mind.
Flamini was 48 years old when she went down, and 50 when she officially completed the challenge on Friday.
After resurfacig, Flamini embraced supporters, met with her doctors and spent nearly an hour talking to the reporters who had gathered outside. She told them she was ready for a drink and a shower but could have stayed in the cave longer.
Flamini’s team says she spent her days reading, drawing, exercising, knitting wooly hats and recording herself with two GoPros. Spanish production company Dokumalia plans to turn her experience into a documentary, NBC reports.
Flamini said she’d lost track of time after about two months in the cave, and thought she had only been in there for some 160 or 170 days. She described the experience as “superb, matchless”, telling reporters that she never even considered hitting the panic button. “In fact, I didn’t want to come out,” she said.
Flamini’s months in the cave were spent in silence and solitude but not without remote supervision. Before going underground, she told her team not to contact her under any circumstances, even a family member’s death.
“If it’s no communication, it’s no communication regardless of the circumstances,” she said according to NBC News. “The people who know me knew and respected that.”
A technical problem forced Flamini to briefly pause the challenge around Day 300, the Associated Press reports. She spent eight days in a tent, without making contact with anyone, before returning to the cave.
4. Why did Flamini decide to live in the cave?
A. To experience a new life style in a cave.
B. To test the limit on human living in caves.
C. To investigate how isolation affects human.
D. To break the record of living underground.
5. What did Flamini do in the cave?
A. She made a documentary.
B. She knitted wooly sweater.
C. She worked out on her own.
D. She used GoPros to track time.
6. What did Flamini think of her stay in the cave?
A. It was panic but fulfilling.
B. It was long but rewarding.
C. It was unbearable but valuable.
D. It was awesome and unbeatable.
7. What does the underlined word “solitude” probably mean?
A. Being alone.
B. Being excited.
C. Being independent.
D. Being self-disciplined.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了48岁的Flamini与世隔绝，独自进入山洞500天的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The climber and mountaineer had entered the cave in Granada on Nov. 21, 2021, determined to spend 500 days alone-monitored from afar by a group of scientists-to explore the effects of isolation on the human body and mind.(这位登山者于2021年11月21日进入格拉纳达的洞穴，决心独自度过500天，由一群科学家从远处监测，以探索隔离对人体身心的影响)”可知，Flamini决定住在洞穴是为了探索与世隔绝对人身心的影响。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的“Flamini’s team says she spent her days reading, drawing, exercising, knitting wooly hats and recording herself with two GoPros.(Flamini团队表示，她每天都在阅读、画画、锻炼、编织羊毛帽，并用两个GoPros录制自己的录音)”可知，Flamini在洞穴中自己锻炼。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“She described the experience as “superb, matchless”, telling reporters that she never even considered hitting the panic button. “In fact, I didn’t want to come out,” she said.(她形容这次经历“棒极了，无与伦比”，并告诉记者，她甚至从未考虑过按下紧急按钮。“事实上，我不想出来，”她说)”推知，Flamini认为她在洞穴里的经历是非常好的，无与伦比。故选D。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Before going underground, she told her team not to contact her under any circumstances, even a family member’s death.(在转入地下之前，她告诉她的团队在任何情况下都不要联系她，即使是家人去世)”可知，Flamini进入洞穴前让团队成员不要联系她。由此可知，她在洞穴里处于独居无交流的状态。由此猜测solitude意为“独自一人”。故选A。
C
During the last few years we have lived through a series of worrying global events, from the COVID pandemic to devastating wildfires.Instead of feeling informed after watching the news, many people feel anxious, upset and sick. A new study published in Journal of Health Communication investigated into this problem.
According to the study, stress, anxiety, and poor health follow people who have a constant urge to check the news. For these individuals, a vicious (恶性的) cycle can develop in which, rather than tuning out, they become drawn further in, checking for updates around the clock to relieve their emotional stress. But it doesn’t help, and the more they check the news, the more it begins to interfere (干扰) with other aspects of their lives.
Of the 1,100 people surveyed for the study, 16.5 percent became so absorbed in the news that it dominated their thoughts, limited the time they spent with family and friends and made it difficult to focus on school or work, Those are the very things-purposeful engagement and social connection-that help us cope with stress and mental health challenges.
According to Bryan MeLaughlin,one of the authors,the findings show that people should develop a healthier relationship with the news.“For example,previous research has shown that individuals who became concerned about the bad effects that their constant attention to COVID-19 was having on their mental health reported making the conscious decision to tune out.This comes at the expense of an individual’s access to important information for their health and safety. This is why a healthy relationship with news consumption is an ideal situation,” he said.
In addition, the study also calls out the need for a wider discussion about how the news industry may be fueling the problem. Journalists often focus on selecting “newsworthy” stories that would grab news consumers’ attention because of the economic pressures. “However, for certain types of people, news stories not only grab their attention and draw them in, but also can be harmful to individuals’ health,”McLaughlin said.
8. What does the underlined phrase “this problem” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. That news addiction may bring negative effects.
B. That COVID-19 affects people’s mental health.
C. That people are exposed to too much information.
D. That journalists focus on terrifying stories to impress readers.
9. Who may be easier to be affected by the news?
A. People with difficulty in socializing.
B. People with a burning thirst for news.
C. People who have trouble focusing on school or work.
D. People who love to share their feelings on the Internet.
10. What might Bryan McLaughlin agree with?
A. The press is regarded as a booming industry.
B. People should avoid being engaged in the news.
C. Journalists should focus on newsworthy stories.
D. People should find balance between staying informed and maintaining health.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Healthy News Consumption Is Crucial
B. News Addiction Links to Poor Well-being
C. How News Industry Fuels News Addiction
D. Highly Informed Readers Suffer From Anxiety
【答案】8 A 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍一项关于许多人在看完新闻后非但没有感到知情，反而感到焦虑、不安和恶心的一项研究，告诉人们应该与新闻建立更健康的关系。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Instead of feeling informed after watching the news, many people feel anxious, upset and sick.(很多人在看完新闻后并没有得到足够的信息，而是感到焦虑、不安和恶心)”可知，下文的划线词this problem指代“新闻成瘾可能会带来负面影响”这一问题。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“According to the study, stress, anxiety, and poor health follow people who have a constant urge to check the news.(根据这项研究，压力、焦虑和健康状况不佳都伴随着不断想要查看新闻的人。)”可知，对新闻有强烈渴望的人可能更容易受到新闻的影响。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, for certain types of people, news stories not only grab their attention and draw them in, but also can be harmful to individuals’ health(然而，对于某些类型的人来说，新闻报道不仅抓住了他们的注意力，吸引了他们，而且可能对个人的健康有害)”可推知，人们应该在了解情况和保持健康之间找到平衡这一观点可能是布莱恩·麦克劳克林所同意的。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章通过介绍一项关于许多人在看完新闻后非但没有感到知情，反而感到焦虑、不安和恶心的一项研究，告诉人们应该与新闻建立更健康的关系。由此可知，A选项“健康的新闻消费至关重要”能概括全文内容，适合用作文章标题。故选A项。

The Earth’s ozone (臭氧) layer is on its way to recovering, thanks to decades of work to get rid of ozone-damaging chemicals, a panel of international experts backed by the United Nations has found.
The ozone layer serves an important function for living things on Earth. This shield in the stratosphere (平流层) protects humans and the environment from harmful levels of the sun’s radiation.
The international community was alarmed after experts discovered a hole in the ozone layer in May 1985. Scientists had previously discovered that chemicals, used in manufacturing certain sprays and used as refrigerants (制冷剂), could destroy ozone. Two years after the discovery of the dreadful state of the ozone layer, international bodies adopted a global agreement called the Montreal Protocol. This established the phaseout (逐步淘汰) of almost 100 man-made chemicals that were tied to the destruction of the all-important ozone.
In the latest report on the progress of the Montreal Protocol the UN-backed panel confirmed that nearly 99% of banned ozone-eating substances have been phased out. If current policies stay in place, the ozone layer is expected to recover to 1980 values by 2040, the United Nations announced. In some places, it may take longer. Experts said that 1980-level recovery over Antarctica is expected by around 2066 and by 2045 over the Arctic.
The destruction of the ozone layer is not a major cause of climate change. But research is showing that these efforts to save the ozone layer are proving beneficial in the fight against climate change. “Ozone action is a pioneer for climate action,” said World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General Petteri Taalas. “Our success in phasing out ozone-eating chemicals shows us that what can and must be done-as a matter of urgency-to shift away from fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse gases and so limit temperature increase.”
12. Why did the international community start to protect the ozone layer?
A. Because the Montreal Protocol was signed.
B. Because chemicals could destroy the ozone layer.
C. Because a hole in the ozone layer was discovered.
D. Because the stratosphere is harmful to human health.
13. Which of the following can NOT help protect the ozone layer?
A. Using less hair-setting spray.
B. Increasing refrigerant production.
C. Minimizing the use of cold air-conditioner.
D. Phasing out ozone-consuming substances.
14. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The Montreal Protocol is taking effect.
B. The ozone layer will fully recover by 2040.
C. The Montreal Protocol needs to be improved.
D. The ozone layer protection has a long way to go.
15 What can be inferred from Petteri Taalas’ words?
A. Climate protection has led to the ozone protection.
B. The destruction of ozone layer didn’t cause climate change.
C. It’s an urgency to reduce the use of ozone-eating chemicals.
D. Ozone protection guides our future efforts in climate action.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。臭氧层作为地球的“保护伞”，通过吸收紫外线,极大地降低了我们患皮肤疾病的可能性。可早在1985年，就有专家发现臭氧层存在一个“大洞”。这直接威胁到了人类的健康与安危，国际社会也一度陷入恐慌。但近来联合国专家的最新研究表明，由于近几十年来各国应对得当，臭氧层即将迎来“自我康复”。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The international community was alarmed after experts discovered a hole in the ozone layer in May 1985...Two years after the discovery of the dreadful state of the ozone layer, international bodies adopted a global agreement called the Montreal Protocol. (1985年5月，专家们在臭氧层发现一个洞后，国际社会感到震惊。在发现臭氧层的可怕状态两年后，国际组织通过了一项全球协议，称为《蒙特利尔议定书》。)”可知，国际社会开始保护臭氧层是因为专家在臭氧层发现了一个洞。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Scientists had previously discovered that chemicals, used in manufacturing certain sprays and used as refrigerants (制冷剂), could destroy ozone.(科学家此前发现，用于制造某些喷雾剂并用作制冷剂的化学物质，可能会破坏臭氧层)”可知，用作制冷剂的化学物质对臭氧层有害。由此可知，增加冰箱的产量不能保护臭氧层。故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“In the latest report on the progress of the Montreal Protocol, the UN-backed panel confirmed that nearly 99% of banned ozone-eating substances have been phased out. If current policies stay in place, the ozone layer is expected to recover to 1980 values by 2040, the United Nations announced. In some places, it may take longer. Experts said that 1980-level recovery over Antarctica is expected by around 2066 and by 2045 over the Arctic.(在关于《蒙特利尔议定书》进展的最新报告中，联合国支持的小组证实，近99%的禁用臭氧消耗物质已被逐步淘汰。联合国宣布，如果目前的政策保持不变，预计到2040年，臭氧层将恢复到1980年的水平。在某些地方，这可能需要更长的时间。专家表示，预计到2066年左右，南极上空将恢复到1980年的水平，到2045年，北极上空将恢复)”可知，本段主要介绍保护臭氧层的《蒙特利尔议定书》正在起作用。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的““Ozone action is a pioneer for climate action,” said World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.(世界气象组织秘书长佩特里·塔拉斯表示：“臭氧行动是气候行动的先驱。”)”推知，保护臭氧是我们未来气候行动的指导方针。故选D。
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Accept Tricky Feelings
Imagine that you only felt so-called positive feelings, like excitement, joy and safety. ____16____. Being human means we experience various emotions, even painful or uncomfortable ones. Accepting them is important and can improve your well-being.
Do you notice uncomfortable feelings?
When you accept that difficult emotions are normal and temporary, you’re often able to cope with them. Psychologists have found that people who allow themselves to feel a range of emotions, including painful ones, are often more at peace than people who try to avoid or push uncomfortable feelings away._____17_____
Does that mean all behaviour is OK?
If you allow yourself to feel angry, for example, that doesn’t mean you can throw things around or behave unkindly. Anita Garai, a well-being teacher and author of Being With Our Feelings, says that if we allow ourselves to feel painful emotions,including anger, it’s less likely these feelings will boil over and result in unpleasant actions. “____18____,” she says. “By listening to them, you can learn more about your needs and choose the best way to respond.”
____19____?
Garai suggeststhe first step is to notice and examine the uncomfortable feeling in your body. “Where in your body can you feel it? Is it still or moving? Can you describe the movement?” she says. It may be that the feeling reminds you of a colour, shape, sound or texture. “By paying attention to the feeling in this way, it’s less likely that you’ll ignore it,” explains Garai. ____20____. Many people find it comforting and inspiring to read about characters who accept, manage and overcome tricky emotions.
A. Another tool is to read
B. You may feel it’s like a wonderland
C. It might sound great but it’s unrealistic
D. Do you examine the tricky feelings in your body
E. How can you learn to accept uncomfortable feelings
F. Uncomfortable feelings actually help to keep us well
G. By noticing tricky feelings and allowing them to exist, you are being kind to yourself
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. F 19. E 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。生而为人总是会有各种感受，积极的、消极的都有。我们要学会接受和正确处理消极的感受。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Imagine that you only felt so-called positive feelings, like excitement, joy and safety.(想象一下，你只感受到所谓的积极情绪，比如兴奋、喜悦和安全)”并结合本文让我们接受不好的情绪推知，空处内容与上文为转折关系，指出只感受到积极情绪是不现实的。C项“It might sound great but it’s unrealistic(这听起来可能很棒，但不现实)”符合语境，it指代上文提到的内容。故选C。
【17题详解】
空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“Psychologists have found that people who allow themselves to feel a range of emotions, including painful ones, are often more at peace than people who try to avoid or push uncomfortable feelings away.(心理学家发现，那些允许自己感受一系列情绪，包括痛苦情绪的人，往往比那些试图避免或消除不舒服情绪的人更平静)”推知，空处应继续陈述让自己感受痛苦情绪的好处。G项“By noticing tricky feelings and allowing them to exist, you are being kind to yourself(注意到不好的感觉并允许它们存在，你就是在善待自己)”符合语境，承接上文。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据下文“By listening to them, you can learn more about your needs and choose the best way to respond.(通过倾听它们，你可以了解更多关于你的需求，并选择最佳的回应方式)”中的them并结合上文提到的anger是消极情绪推知，空处提到了一些消极情绪，通过倾听这些情绪我们可以更多地了解自己的需求。F项“Uncomfortable feelings actually help to keep us well(让人不舒服的情绪实际上有助于让我们保持健康)”符合语境，下文them指代选项中的Uncomfortable feelings。故选F。
【19题详解】
空处为本段小标题，结合上文几个小标题都是问句推知，空处也是一个高度概括的问句。根据下文“Garai suggeststhe first step is to notice and examine the uncomfortable feeling in your body. “Where in your body can you feel it? Is it still or moving? Can you describe the movement?” she says. It may be that the feeling reminds you of a colour, shape, sound or texture. “By paying attention to the feeling in this way, it’s less likely that you’ll ignore it,” explains Garai.(Garai建议，第一步是注意并检查你身体的不适感。她说：“你在身体的什么地方能感觉到它？它是静止的还是运动的？你能描述一下运动吗？”。这种感觉可能会让你想起某种颜色、形状、声音或质地。Garai解释道：“通过这种方式关注这种感觉，你就不太可能忽视它。”)”可知，本段主要主要介绍如何接受不舒服的感觉。E项“How can you learn to accept uncomfortable feelings(你如何才能学会接受不舒服的感觉)”符合本段主旨，可以作为小标题。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Garai suggeststhe first step is to notice and examine the uncomfortable feeling in your body.(Garai建议，第一步是注意并检查你身体的不适感)”推知，空处应介绍第二步或第二个方法应该做什么。A项“Another tool is to read(另一个方法是阅读)”符合题意，且引出下文“Many people find it comforting and inspiring to read about characters who accept, manage and overcome tricky emotions.(许多人读到那些接受、管理和克服棘手情绪的人物，会感到安慰和鼓舞)”。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种模仿章鱼皮肤工作方式的体温调节材料。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：现在，加州大学欧文分校的Alon Gorodetsky教授揭示了一项新发明：一种模仿章鱼皮肤工作方式的体温调节材料。空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是a thermoregulatory (温度调节的) material，指物，从句缺少主语，应用关系代词which/that引导。故填which/that。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：Gorodetsky在看到一段章鱼藏在岩石中的视频的那一刻就爱上了章鱼，这让他创作了受章鱼皮肤启发的材料。空处为主句谓语动词，根据从句谓语动词saw可知，此处也陈述过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故填fell。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。定语从句中已有谓语动词led，空处应填非谓语动词，inspire和逻辑主语material之间为被动关系，应用过去分词。故填inspired。
【39题详解】
考查代词。句意：章鱼有一种神奇的能力，可以将自己隐藏在环境中，它们皮肤上独特的器官可以在几秒钟内收缩和扩张。当宾语和主语所指相同时，宾语应用反身代词；此处指“章鱼自己”应用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
【40题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：因此，章鱼的皮肤可以反射不同波长的颜色。wavelength“波长”是可数名词，被different修饰，应用其复数形式。故填wavelengths。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：正是章鱼生物学的这一方面启发了这种新材料的开发。空处应填名词构成名词所有格，development“开发”是不可数名词，the development of the new matrial“这种新材料的开发”。故填development。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这种新材料可以用来制造紧急加热毯，它甚至可以帮助防止你的电脑过热。be used to do“被用来做……”，不定式作目的状语。故填to create。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。keep...from...“使……免受……（的伤害）”是固定短语。故填from。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：最棒的是，这种新型温度调节材料生产成本低廉，而且非常环保，因为它耐用且易于重复使用。此处特指上文提到的那种新型温度调节材料，应用定冠词修饰。故填the。

【答案】 Voluntary Work Really Counts
Last weekend our school carried out a questionnaire survey. Its purpose is to know whether students often do volunteer work and what kind of volunteer work they prefer.
The results show that only 16 percent of students do volunteer work regularly. Among all kinds of volunteer work, community welfare work is the most popular, accounting for 47 percent. Fundraising accounts for 32 percent. Tutoring and training accounts for 11 percent. Environmental work accounts for 10 percent, which is the least popular.
In my opinion, all volunteer work should be developed in a balanced way. Schools should guide students in the choice of volunteer work.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Ken Scott kicked of the covers and leapt out of bed at his home in the Rocky Mountain town of Mullan,Idaho.It was 6 a.m.on January 7, 2020, and he was on a mission: He’d just heard on the radio that the nearby Silver Mountain Resort had been blessed with nearly a foot and a half of new snow. As a ski addict who’d worked in the industry for the past 30 years as a ski patroller (滑雪巡逻员)and equipment salesperson, he didn’t want to miss this perfect skiing chance. These conditions are what skiers live for-even experienced and skilled as Scott, who, at 55, still skied 100 days a year.
When Scott reached Silver Mountain’s locker room, he ran into his friend Warren, 58, a former ski instructor who had also been a regular on these slopes for more than two decades.
“Can you believe it?” he said as they changed into their boots. “Sixteen inches! Are you ready?”
For the next hour, the pair skied on various runs under a lightly gloomy sky, making fresh tracks. They were both in a playful mood. Finally, they reached 16-to-1, an expert-level trail, which was now open. It had been closed all season over concerns that skiers might cause an avalanche (雪崩). But that morning, patrollers had cleared loose snow on the peak, reducing the chance of a snowslide.
“What do you think?” asked Warren.
“Let’s go for it!” Scott replied.
When they reached the top of 16-to-1, Warren excitedly looked back at Scott. The huge, toothy grin on his bearded face was what he needed. He pointed his skis downhill and took off. So thrilled were they that they isolated everything around them. Flying on the trail, despite the biting wind, their hearts burnt with passion for this great skiing. Whoomph! A sudden roar from behind nearly deafened them.

“Bring help! Ken was missing,” Warren said anxiously on the phone.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
In a second, they realized what was happening. “Avalanche!” crying out, they saw terror in each other’s eyes. Instantly, both were hit by heavy slabs of snow. Warren felt it enclosing him, moving quickly up his back and over his shoulders, then heavy against his neck. Snow filled the space in front of him and piled up around his body. He was almost buried. Struggling out of the snowbank, he looked around, trying to find Ken. “KEN!” Warren shouted anxiously, but no reply. Warren knew he had to reach Scott quickly because of the 30-minute survival window. He pulled out his phone and called for help.
“Bring help! Ken was missing,” Warren said anxiously on the phone. Word spread quickly, and soon Silver Mountain’s patrols and skiers arrived at the avalanche site with shovels and ten-foot poles with which they could probe for Scott. Rescuers formed a horizontal line along the slope, each standing just two feet apart, and inserted their probes down into the deep, chunky snow, hoping to hit and locate the buried skier. Twenty minutes into the search, a rescuer shouted, “A strike!” Tears streaming down his face, Warren knew they opened the life window for Scott.
【解析】
【导语】文章以滑雪的进展为线索展开，讲述滑雪爱好者Ken Scott去Silver Mountain Resort滑雪时遇到了好友Warren，两人在天气不好的情况下尽情地滑雪。当达到16-to-1这个专家级线路时，他们决定去尝试，因为巡逻人员早上清除了松散了雪，因此雪崩的几率不大。正当两人在赛道上飞驰时，听到身后震耳欲聋的轰鸣声。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①根据第一段首句“一秒钟后，他们意识到发生了什么。”结合上文提到雪崩可知，下文可描写雪崩发生时的场景，以及两人的遭遇——Warren幸存，Ken Scott不知去向。于是，Warren打电话求助。
②根据第二段首句“‘救命！肯不见了，’沃伦在电话里焦急地说。”可知，下文可描写滑雪基地的滑雪者和管理人员闻讯赶来救助的画面，以及Ken Scott最终得救。
2.续写线索：雪崩发生——两人的遭遇——Warren幸存并求助——打电话——众人闻讯赶来——努力寻找——找到Ken Scott
