Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry, keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being. A recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relational diversity.”
Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization, the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits, schedules and interactions. They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction.
Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness. Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. “The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are. And we find this in a large sample across many countries,” Collins said. Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories. Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers, that’s going to be more even across these categories,” Collins explained.
Ultimately, Collins says, the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart. Having a support system is important, but it goes beyond your inner circle. “It’s about this mix. It’s about connecting with people who are close to you, who are maybe less close to you, who connect you with other people, who provide different kinds of support,” she said. “Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio, the happier you are and the higher your well-being.”

Animal populations across the world have been reduced by 69% in less than 50 years, according to a new scientific report. The report’s authors are calling for urgent action to restore the natural world.
The Living Planet Report (LPR) is produced every two years by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Zoological Society of London. The most recent report, released on October 13, 2022, shows that almost 70% of the world’s monitored wildlife was lost between 1970 and 2018. The report is based on research from 195 countries around the world. Data was collected from almost 32,000 populations of 5,230 species.
Although the average global loss of wildlife is 69%, the rate is greater in the global south. Latin America and the Caribbean in particular have seen the sharpest fall, having lost 94% of their wildlife since 1970. Across the world, the biggest drop was in freshwater populations of wildlife — including almost 1,400 species of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles — which have decreased by 83%.
The report identifies several causes for wildlife loss, including hunting, farming, the loss of forests, pollution and climate change. However, the report also promotes solutions, such as designing less destructive food production systems, urgently protecting the Amazon rainforest, limiting the use of fossil fuels, and creating new laws to protect our natural environment.
Commenting on the report, Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF International, called the figures “terrifying”, and said “we need to restore nature and not simply halt its loss.” In December 2022, world leaders are meeting in Montreal for the 15th UN Biodiversity Conference, also known as COP 15. The authors of the LPR say that this is an opportunity for a global plan to deal with wildlife loss and restore nature. “Government leaders must step up at COP 15,” said Lambertini. “The world is watching.”
8．What does the author mainly want to show by listing the numbers in the first three paragraphs?
A．The causes of the urgent situation.
B．The detailed process of the research.
C．The severity of wildlife loss worldwide.
D．The drop in freshwater populations of wildlife?
9．According to the report, what is a possible solution to population decline of wildlife?
A．Stop hunting and farming.
B．Ban the production of wildlife food.
C．Offer legal protection of natural environment.
D．Replace the fossil fuels with renewable energy
10．What does the underlined word “halt” mean in the last paragraph?
A．Accept. B．Stop. C．Fear. D．Suffer.
11．What is Lambertini’s attitude towards wildlife loss?
A．Objective. B．Indifferent.
C．Ambiguous. D．Concerned.

After decades of development and many trials and frustrations along the way, the James Webb Telescope has finally started to deliver what it came for. On July 12, NASA released the first science observations made by the suite of instruments carried on board the mission, marking what we eagerly anticipate will be the beginning of a new era in astronomy.
After the nail-biting launch on Christmas Day, a series of critical deployments followed to open up the telescope and its sunshade. If any of these operations had failed, James Webb would have been an unusable disaster. But the programme was perfectly executed, as the amazing observatory it has been planned to be.
It was very exciting to see the new images selected by an international committee of representatives from NASA．Scientists were not prepared for the level of crispness and fine detail that can be seen. It’s a joy to finally have such high-quality data.
Unveiled by US president Joe Biden, the stunning images of SMACS 0723, a cluster of thousands of galaxies, were released on July 11. The massive foreground galaxy groups magnify and twist the light of objects behind them, helping us to have a closer look at very faint objects in time.
The image shows the galaxy cluster as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. Images such as this will help us understand how the first stars and galaxies formed. Some of these may be among the most distant objects known, from the beginning of the universe.
The size of a telescope-its aperture (孔径) -is the key thing that decides the ultimate quality of the images and the detail that can be observed. Bigger is better. With its six-metre aperture, James Webb is the largest telescope ever launched into space and from its vantage point a million mile from Earth, free from the Earth’s atmosphere, it is expected to deliver the best, most detailed views of the universe we have ever seen. There is no doubt that it will revolutionize our understanding of the universe, just as its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, once did.
12．What marked the beginning of a new era in astronomy?
A．The successful launch of the James Webb Telescope.
B．The perfect operation of the James Webb Telescope.
C．The first scientific exploration mission carried out by the James Webb Telescope.
D．The new images about the galaxy cluster unveiled by US president Joe Biden.
13．What made scientists surprised?
A．How the first stars and galaxies formed 4.6 billion years ago.
B．The clear and detailed images observed by the James Webb Telescope.
C．The programme of the James Webb Telescope was perfectly performed.
D．The James Webb Telescope went through decades of development and tests.
14．What does the underlined word “faint” mean in paragraph 4?
A．Unclear. B．Tiny. C．Weak. D．Blank.
15．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The James Webb Telescope is larger than the Hubble Space Telescope.
B．The Hubble Space Telescope covers a distance of six metres.
C．Our understanding of the universe has been completely changed by the James Webb Telescope.
D．A million miles from Earth is the best location for astronomy observation.

For several years, “fly on the wall” was Esther Ruth Mbabazi’s approach to photography. Be invisible. Don’t influence the scene. Then,in 2019, the 28-year-old Ugandan had an opportunity to do just the opposite.
That’s when Mbabazi learned of the Gulu for Women With Disabilities Union (GUWODU), a professional and social center in a small city in Uganda’s north. There, she partnered with seven women on a portrait series that was a celebration of individuality and personal expression. “I was tired of the images I was seeing out there, especially here in Uganda, where people with disabilities are robbed of their personalities,” said Mbabazi. “They’re photographed as people who can’t do anything. I didn’t want my images to look like that.”
Over one year, she made four trips to Gulu and photographed women she met, including a land mine survivor missing a leg, a deaf mother of four, and a blind musician. They posed in custom dresses, created by a Kampala-based designer, against backdrops (背景幕布) of art and handiwork they had made. When Mbabazi asked the women how they wanted to be seen, they told her: as capable, equal, Intelligent. In other words,the dignity that Ugandans with special needs often are denied.
Joyce Auma, 25, who uses wheelchair, chose a blue patterned top and skirt that contrasted beautifully with the vibrant green and blue backdrop. Another, Laker Irene Odwar, who lost her leg in a land mine at age 16, chose a pale blue blazer and a shirt with a smart silk scarf.
On her last trip to Gulu, Mbabazi delivered large, framed copies of the portraits to those who posed for them. As Mbabazi explains, “They said, ‘This shows me as I am in my full existence, my full body, as I am.’” Mbabazi hopes the photos will be exhibited publicly, to help change how the women are seen, and treated, by others.

Have you ever noticed the birdsong you used to wake up to as a child has been thinning? Such has been the case in Australia for the endangered eastern bristlebird, with its numbers declining dramatically in the past 40 years.
At first glance, there is nothing too unique about the eastern bristlebird. Its song, while beautiful, doesn’t stand out in a typical Australian forest. Since the 1980s, researchers have been trying to understand why the eastern bristlebird has seen such rapid decline. Time an again, fires taking place unexpectedly come up as the main factor — along with the increase in fire frequency, climate change and habitat loss.
Fire can be deadly for many wild animals, but there is something special about the bristlebird that makes it particularly vulnerable (脆弱的) to large, frequent fires. Eastern bristle-birds, despite being able to fly, appear not to appreciate the view of a top story. They don’t choose to live in the treetops, or even on lower branches of trees. They preferred low, dense vegetation (植被).
This habitat structure is important for many small animals even less noticeable than the bristlebird, such as spiders, beetles and worms. This means the bristlebird can act like an indicator how the entire understory ecosystem is doing. Unfortunately, low, dense vegetation is often the first to burn and disappear during a fire. Worse still, it takes years for an understory to recover fully.
The eastern bristlebird may only be one fire away from extinction,signaling a possible collapse of their ground-level ecosystem. However, all hope was not lost as this knowledge had led to emergency rescues of bristlebirds. And translocation programs, which has been an important strategy for saving almost every vulnerable native Australian species, are in place for this little unremarkable bird.
23．What do we know about the eastern bristlebird from the passage?
A．It can not fly high.
B．It has unique appearance.
C．Its song is highly appreciated.
D．Its situation has attracted great attention.
24．Which is the main reason for bristlebirds’ decline?
A．Unexpected fires. B．Frequent fires.
C．Lack of habitat. D．Global warming.
25．What makes bristlebirds vulnerable to fires?
A．Its importance in ecosystem.
B．Its appreciation for top story.
C．Its preference for low habitat.
D．Its influence on small animals.
26．What can we expect of bristlebirds in the future?
A．Their decline is likely to slow down.
B．Their numbers will increase rapidly.
C．They may save the entire ecosystem.
D．They will disappear with one more fire.

My friend never did well in school but always had a sharp eye for beauty. One day I was busy arranging some flowers in a vase but just couldn’t get them to look right. She came along, and with a few skillful waves of her hand, transformed them into a stunning bouquet. When praised for having this amazing ability, she shrugged off the compliment. She simply didn’t view her creativity as anything special.
Too often we underestimate our own talents in this way. Maybe it’s because we’ve become used to believing that only abilities like a high I.Q., a gift for mathematics or a large vocabulary have cognitive (认知的) value. I was fortunate to learn otherwise at a young age.
When I entered high school, a guidance counselor told my mother I wasn’t college material because I had performed miserably on the spelling section of a standardized test. Thankfully my mother recognized my other intellectual (智力的) gifts and stood up for me, insisting I be put into the college-track curriculum. This experience literally defined the course of my life. It showed me how important it is not to accept a label someone else put on me and it allowed me to realize my full potential.
In the early 1980’s, Howard Gardner, a prominent Harvard researcher, pioneered a concept of “multiple intelligences”. In his book, Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, he suggested that intelligence is not limited to a traditional interpretation but instead includes a wide range of cognitive abilities.
What I love about the multiple intelligences theory is that it allows you to reframe your own abilities and talents, especially those that don’t necessarily fit into neat academic boxes. While it’s true one must meet a basic level of intelligence for achievement, the analytical skills measured by I.Q. do not tell the whole story. This is why we should celebrate all of our talents and abilities. They’re part of what makes your individual brain so wonderful and unique.
27．Whose ability is probably underestimated according to the author?
A．A child who has a large vocabulary.
B．A child who is good at building Lego blocks.
C．A child who has an easy time learning how to multiply.
D．A child who quickly fits into academic learning process.
28．What does “otherwise” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．It suited me well to take college-track courses.
B．Intelligence can be interpreted by various abilities.
C．Spelling ability in a standardized test is of great value.
D．A high I. Q. makes no sense in realizing my full potential.
29．Why did the author mention Howard Gardner’s book?
A．To introduce a new topic. B．To clarify a concept.
C．To recommend the book. D．To support his opinion.
30．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Change Your Cognitive Value.
B．Develop Your Academic Ability.
C．Appreciate Your Multiple Intelligences.
D．Explore the Theory of Multiple Intelligences.

The Voice Magazine recently had a chance to chat with Miss Patel, a 21-year-old university student currently living in Edmonton, Alberta. “Honestly, I am not happy with Edmonton because it’s too dead. No one socializes. Everybody likes to stay as it is. Personally, I haven’t found one person who likes to grow in their life. People in Edmonton seem to settle for whatever they get.”
When asked how she best studies, Miss Patel stated, “I was a kid who always took studies for granted. Till one day I realized it’s the most important thing. What keeps me motivated is my goal and the promises I have made to myself. I am completely focused on my career and studies, because believe it or not, hanging out with friends is a distraction.”
And her advice for new students? “Online universities and studies can be very overwhelming. You know, there is too much stuff out there. You may miss out on 90 percent of stuff you really need. But join online groups, call the student center and ask tons of questions. Go through every detail provided in the course. Make a schedule by what time you will finish the course.”
When not studying, Miss Patel is interested in “spirituality-gaining knowledge of nature, how to be the best version of yourself.” She continued, “I hit the gym quite often as well.”
When asked which famous person she would like to have lunch with and why, Miss Patel did not have any famous person in mind. She explained, “The respectful famous leads today were once a common man or woman. I would in fact love to just go on a special elite (精英) lunch with myself. I sit with myself and feel every emotion, making a list of my flaws and my positive characteristics. That way I am just getting a step forward of being a better human being. And who knows my betterment can lead me into being famous just like others!”
31．What can we infer about Miss Patel from the first paragraph?
A．She is honest and brave.
B．She is intelligent and proud.
C．She is outgoing and active.
D．She is unconfident and content.
32．Why does Miss Patel have the motivation in her studies?
A．She takes studies for granted.
B．She has an aim and commitment.
C．She hangs around with her friends.
D．She settles for whatever she can get.
33．Why may an online learner miss most of the things?
A．There are too many groups to join.
B．The learner has to ask tons of questions.
C．It is difficult to make a schedule of the course.
D．The information online is too much to deal with.
34．Why would Miss Patel have lunch with herself rather than a famous person?

B．Famous leads are common men or women.
C．She can reflect on herself and make improvement.
D．She can list the flaws and positive part of famous people.

The human brain is the most complex and poorly understood biological structure known to man. Our human brain is relatively large for our body size and wrinkled in comparison to other animals’ brains. Across species, brain size and wrinkle number is related to intelligence.
University of Copenhagen researchers have made an incredible discovery seeking to learn more about the mammalian (哺乳动物的) brain. A vital enzyme, a special material, allows brain signals to be transmitted or transported. The enzyme is randomly turning on and off, even taking hours-long “breaks from work.” These discoveries could have a significant impact on our understanding of the brain and the development of medicines. The discovery is featured on the cover of Nature.
Millions of neurons (神经元) are constantly communicating with one another, shaping thoughts and memories and allowing us to move our bodies at will. Neurotransmitters are transported from one neuron to another by a unique enzyme when two neurons meet to exchange a message.
This process is necessary for neuronal communication as well as the survival of all complex organisms (extremely small living things). Until now, researchers all over the world assumed that these enzymes were constantly active, transmitting vital signals. However, this is not the case.
It is almost impossible to understand that the extremely critical process of loading neurotransmitters in containers is carried out by only one cell per container. Especially when we find that 40% of the time these cells are switched off.
Using a new method, researchers from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen closely examined the enzyme and discovered that its activity switches on and off at random periods of time, contradicting our previous understanding.
“Contrary to popular belief, and unlike many other proteins, these enzymes could stop working for minutes to hours. Still, the brains of humans and other mammals are miraculously able to function,” says Professor Dimitrios Stamou, who led the study from the research center at the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Chemistry.
35．What is implied in the second paragraph?
A．The enzyme is continuously turning on and off.
B．Enzyme does not affect the transmission of brain signals.
C．No enzyme has been found in the mammalian brain so far.
D．Scientists used to think the special enzyme does not take a break.
36．How could we move our bodies as we like?
A．The communication between neurons happens without stop.
B．We shape our thoughts though we may not have good memories.
C．The newly found unique enzyme is at the most time switched off.
D．Neurotransmitters transport a unique enzyme from one neuron to another.
37．Why do the scientists think the discovery unbelievable?
A．There is enzyme in mammalian brains.
B．Mammalian brains function as human’s.
C．One cell can have such an important function.
D．40% of the critical cells are actually switched off.
38．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．A Surprising Significant Finding about Mammalian Brains
B．A Very Important Research Led by Professor Dimittrios Stamou
C．Researches on Brains of Animals Being Carried out By Scientists
D．A Completely New Method Employed by the Department of Chemistry

CAMBODIA—The “world’s loneliest elephant” has been resettled at a nature reserve (保护区) in the Oddar Meanchey Province after receiving some help from singer Cher recently.
Kaavan, a 36-year-old, 9,000-pound elephant, was given the nickname after he suffered from emotional and physical problems while living in a zoo in Pakistan for 35 years. During that time, Kaavan was mostly tied in his enclosure (圈用地), and when his partner died in 2012, her body lay next to him for several days before it was removed. Doctors said Kaavan was overweight, malnourished (营养不良的) and suffering from behavioral problems due to loneliness.
Cher, who has been advocating Kaavan’s resettlement, met with Pakistani Prime Minister on Friday and later visited Kaavan in the zoo. Kaavan was tested for COVID-19 before his seven-hour journey, during which 440 pounds of food were prepared. A doctor took care of him on the flight and worked with Four Paws, the animal rescue group that organized the move. He said Kaavan did not seem stressed and even slept during the flight. Very few elephants have been relocated by plane, according to Four Paws.
On Monday, Kaavan arrived in Cambodia and made his way north by truck to his new home. Once he feels settled, he will be set free from his enclosure and allowed to wander around the reserve, which houses about 600 Asian elephants. Experts say Kaavan will get a long term of psychological and physical treatment. Years of living in an enclosure with poor flooring has caused his nail to crack and overgrow and he has developed a habit of shaking his head back and forth for hours, which is believed to be out of boredom.
The elephant has lost half a ton since his diet was changed to fruit and vegetables. The zoo where he spent much of his life has been ordered to shut down.
39．What do we know about the elephant?
A．It had a weight problem.
B．It was kept free in the zoo.
C．It was all alone in his enclosure.
D．It lived in a reserve for 35 years.
40．According to the text, which of the following can best describe the move?
A．Dangerous. B．Uncomfortable. C．Well-organized. D．Wide-spread.
41．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The introduction to his new home.
B．The further arrangements for Kaavan.
C．The cause of Kaavan’s health problems.
D．The medical treatment Kaavan will receive.
42．What is the text?
A．A news report.
B．A short story of an elephant.
C．A research article.
D．An advertisement to a nature reserve.

In recent times, the sales of self-help books have soared in popularity. Here are our picks of the best, and most highly rated self-help books to help tackle that new year anxiety.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
Nowadays people spend so much time planning, journaling, and writing in our diaries, rather than taking action towards actually achieving our goals. This book is a step-by-step guide to fixing up your routine. It digs into the psychology behind habits — how to form good ones and break the bad ones. If you’re a victim of procrastination (拖延症), this may be the push you need.
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
This book is all about improving the relationships you have with others in your life, making you a better listener, and overall a better friend. With simple tips such as including the person’s name in conversation and making sure you’re genuinely interested in what they’re saying, you can ensure they will remember you. The core idea is that you can change other people’s behaviour by changing your own, therefore building stronger relationships.
Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living by Glennon Doyle
Part autobiographical and part self-help, it’s the perfect book to kickstart your year and start living for yourself. Although this book could be enjoyed by anyone, the prime audience is women, as Doyle talks a lot about doubts during motherhood, and the overwhelming need women feel to put everyone before themselves. Doyle shows us our lives in a new light that without even realising it, we may be working hard to please everyone around us, forgetting the most important person — ourselves.
The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss
“Escape the 9-5, live anywhere and join the new rich”. This best seller proposes the idea that you don’t need to wait for retirement and delay your life plan. Instead, you can trade a long career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”. Ferris says that people don’t want to be millionaires. They want to experience what they think only millionaires can buy.
43．What can we learn from Atomic Habits?
A．How to keep a diary.
B．How to learn psychology.
C．How to arrange your routine.
D．How to satisfy your needs.

The 67-year-old Shangdong Province native, Ge Yuxiu, has lived in Qinghai for 51 years. For almost half that time, he has been on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(高原), where he has devoted(投入)his life to photographing and conserving wild animals.
Despite serious heart trouble, Ge is determined to stay on the high-altitude plateau and continue to do something to help protect wildlife in the area.
Ge’s love for photography grew after his photo of soldiers reading news written on a black-board was published in Oinghai Daily in 1979. He probably would have never turned to photographing wild animals without a visit to Bird Island in Qinghai Lake in 1995 after he had retired (退休)from the army and had begun working in the financial sector(财政部门).
Covering less than half a square kilometer, the island is home to over 100, 000 migratory birds(候鸟). “I became addicted to the bird kingdom,” Ge said, adding that he has so far visited the island more than 200 times to take photos.
He never expected that his attraction to the island would tie his destiny (命运)with Przewalski’s gazelle(普氏原羚), a relatively small, slender antelope unique to China. Ge went to the island in late 1997 to take photos of swans (天鹅)when he saw seven yellowish-brown animals running across the grasslands, in a line. On hearing one of his companions shouting “Przewalski’s gazelle”, he took out his camera and took photos of them. He was later told by wildlife conservation experts that he had captured (捕捉)the world’s first image of this kind of antelope.
“I was so excited to hear that,” he said. He excitement, however, soon gave way to anxiety after he learned that the animals were endangered. Only found around Qinghai Lake, there were just 300 of them surviving in the wild at the time. The incident became a turning point in Ge’s photography career, as he decided to devote his efforts to saving the gazelle and other endangered animals. He often spent time in the wild observing the gazelle and occasionally visited local herdsmen (牧人)to learn what they knew about the animal.
Thanks to joint efforts, the population of Przewalski’s gazelle has now increased to about 2, 700.

When it comes to US middle school science and engineering, girls rule. Girls took the top five prizes at the 2019 Broadcom MASTERS, a competition for middle school students across the country.
The winners were announced (宣布)last month. They were honored for their STEM successes as well as for showing skills in critical thinking, communication, creativity and team-work. In first place was 14-year-old Alaina Gassler. She designed a system to make driving safer by reducing blind spots-the areas that drivers cannot see outside their vehicle (车辆)Gassler developed the technology while in eighth grade.
“She, along with the entire Class of 2019, is already leaders in their fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM),” said Paula Golden, president of the Broadcom Foundation. “These young inventors give every one of us hope for the future.”
The Broadcom MASTERS competition is a project of the Society for Science & the Public. It was set up to encourage young people to attend college and take up jobs in STEM fields. It was open to students in grades 6, 7 and 8 across the country.
This year, all the major awards in the competition went to girls. The top prize winner, Alaina Gassler, says she got the idea for her project after seeing her mother struggle with blind spots in her family’s car. Blind spots lead to many accidents—about 840, 000 accidents a year nationwide.
Gassler’s system helps drivers see “through” the A-frame pillar (A柱)—the part of the vehicle, in the front, that joins the top and front window. The A-frame pillar is important for safety, and cannot be removed. Gassler used a camera to help drivers look “through” the structure (结构)to see what is blocked. The camera sends video to a device (设备)that shows images on the other side of the pillar. The driver then can “see” what’s in the blind spot.
The young inventor won a $ 25, 000 prize for her invention. She told Popular Mechanics she can make improvements on her device with that money. Gassler said she wants to improve the picture—making it easy to see in any weather, or any time of the day. She also told the magazine she hopes to sell her idea.
50．Why was Gassler honored?
A．For her interest in science.
B．For her great concern.
C．For her vehicle knowledge.
D．For her STEM success.
51．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 actually suggest?
A．The reasons why the mother struggled.
B．The great need of STEM education.
C．The great value of Gassler’s invention.
D．The poor quality of family vehicles.
52．What is paragraph 6 mainly about?
A．How Gassler’s system works.
B．Why the A-frame pillar is important.
C．When Gassler’s system helps.
D．What are included in her inventions.
53．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Young students’ great inventions
B．US students compete in science
C．Middle School STEM education
D．US girls take top science prizes

Every day people all over the world celebrate their cultural heritage, simply by living their lives in a way that stands for who they are and where they come from.

When it comes to learning abroad, you may feel uncertain and nervous. Then a supportive host family can be hugely significant in making you feel comfortable in a new country and a new culture. Here are some reasons.
Imagine if you could find a warm greeting upon arrival at your chosen destination. Your homesickness will be cured by the quality time you spend with your host family. Sharing conversations, trying each other’s hobbies or enjoying a movie evening together can create bonds and friendships that last a lifetime.
While you live with a local family, you can make the most out of everyday conversations in a relaxing environment, which will encourage you to learn new words in new ways that you cannot always pick up in the classroom. You will make much faster progress in your learning as you’ll be putting your skills to use outside the classroom as well as with native speakers.
While you live with your host family, you will eat the local cuisine and get to know the true character of the local food culture. Although each family does it differently, this will give you invaluable insights into local life. You may even learn some delicious family recipes and should also share yours.
While exploring unknown pathways can be exciting, sometimes you just have to be somewhere on time. Living with a host family will teach you how to travel like a local and navigate the London Underground like a pro (老手) and read a train schedule with so much confidence that a native speaker asks you for direction.
Daily life with your host family will teach you so much about the culture and traditions of the country you are living in. It will also teach you to embrace cultural differences. Not only will you return home with new language skills, but you will hopefully also come home with a second family abroad—a true home away from home.

A US company, Mighty Buildings, can 3D-print a house and stick it in your backyard for just £75,000. Mighty Buildings uses a 20ft-high printer stored in a California warehouse(仓库)to make you a small cottage and ships it to your property on a truck.
“All you need to do is sit back and relax as we deliver and install(安装)your unit for you,” Mighty Buildings says on its website.
Compared to new houses of a similar size in California, Mighty Buildings says its 3D-printed sheds costs 45% less to build. The firm apparently takes just 24 hours to build a 350-square-foot house, using 95% less labour than traditional methods. The technique is also said to be more eco-friendly, producing 90% less waste than a typical build.
It’s not the first company to offer 3D-printed buildings: An entire street of the high-tech houses is being built in Mexico. However, Mighty Buildings’ technology is different as it prints more elements of the house—the houses in Mexico, for instance, only feature 3D-printed walls and floors.
As much as 80% of Mighty Buildings’ building process is now automated(自动化), according to the company. The rest, including the windows, plumbing and electrics, is done separately on site.
According to the firm’s website, prices start around $100,000(£75,000)for an environmentally friendly, studio-sized apartment. Mighty Buildings has already delivered two fully-functioning units in San Ramon and San Diego and is now working on multiple other orders.
3D printing is a process of layering up a material to build complex structures. It works just like regular house printers—but instead of ink, a 3D printer will use materials like plastic and metal. Using giant 3D printers, it’s been proven possible to quickly and cheaply build houses. Sadly the tech is far from mainstream for now. A recent report suggested 3D-printed houses built in less than 24 hours will form a key part of the UK’s housing market by 2025.
65．What does the passage focus on?
A．Mighty Buildings. B．3D-printed houses.
C．3D printing tech. D．Building styles.
66．What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A．The exceptional size of printed houses.
B．The multiple functions of the house.

A．It is simply hopeless. B．It is far from optimistic.
C．It just remains stable. D．It cannot be any better.
68．What does the ”report“ mentioned in the last paragraph suggest?
A．3D printed houses are promising.
B．The tech needs to be improved.
C．The houses are rather easy to build.
D．The housing market will boom.

The stars were always within reach of Katherine Johnson. Using her mathematics skills, she helped NASA(美国国家航空航天局)send astronauts to the moon and return them safely home. She also overcame racial(种族的)and gender barriers to help make giant leaps for humankind.
Johnson was born in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, on August 26, 1918. Math came easily to her, but she worked hard to master geometry(几何)and algebra(代数). To realize her math potential, her father drove his family 120 miles to Institute, West Virginia, where blacks could continue high school education. Katherine’s excellent performance proved her father’s decision was the right one: Teachers allowed Katherine to skip several grades to graduate from high school at 14 and from college at 18, majoring in mathematics, as the top student of the historically black West Virginia State College in Institute.
In 1953, after years as a teacher and later as a stay-at-home mom, she began working for NASA, which began hiring women to measure and calculate(计算)the results of wind tunnel tests in 1935. In a time before the electronic computers, these women were called ”computer“. Even after NASA began using electronic computers, the astronaut John Glenn requested that she should personally recheck the calculations made by the new electronic computers before his flight.
She continued to work at NASA until her retirement in 1986. Her calculations proved important to the success of the Apollo lunar landing program and the United States journey into space. It wasn’t until the 2016 release of the movie Hidden Figures that these women received widespread recognition.
Johnson passed away on February 24, 2020, at the age of 101. In her honor, NASA had dedicated the Katherine G. Johnson Computational Research Facility at the Langley Research Center to commemorate the hard work she did to help take them to the stars.
69．What can we learn about Katherine Johnson from paragraph 2?
A．She made all decisions herself.
B．She failed to develop her potential.
C．She was gifted in mathematics.
D．She didn’t receive regular education.
70．What does John Glenn’s”request“ mentioned in paragraph 3 indicate?
A．The poor function of the electronic computers.
B．Katherine’s extraordinary calculation power.
C．The demanding job Katherine was hired to do.
D．The risks astronauts had to take in their flights.
71．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?
A．Honor. B．Confirm. C．Advocate. D．Transform.
72．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To demonstrate the role women play.
B．To reveal the key to great success.
C．To emphasize the importance of maths.
D．To tell us a woman of achievement.

It is said that our body language exhibits much more information about our thoughts and feelings than is possible to express verbally. But the implied meaning of these common signals we use every day can mean something wildly different in another culture. Here’s an introduction to the most unusual examples across the globe, so you can know how to integrate, and what to avoid.
Greetings
In various parts of India, it’s common to greet one another by touching feet. Handshakes and hugs are common in Western societies, like the US and UK, but in parts of Europe such as France and Italy, handshakes are a slightly more personal greeting.
Hand and arm gestures
As standard, Italians use their arms and hands to gesture constantly while talking, but in Japan, this is considered impolite. If you’re in Belgium or Northern Italy, be sure to avoid brushing your hand under your chin when speaking—it’s a vivid way to tell someone to go away! Do you think the thumbs-up sign is a universal hand gesture for “great”? Well, hopefully you haven’t visited Greece or Sardinia yet, where it’s considered to be as rude as a middle finger signal in the West. In the US, a “V” sign means victory. In the UK and Australia, however, it’s an offensive (冒犯).
Head movements
In many parts of Eastern European, the standard nodding and shaking indicating yes and no are switched, which can, of course, get very confusing. In Japan, staring too long is considered rude. Our special gesture, though, has to be this traditional signal from Tibet, China. If someone is sticking their tongue out at you in the street, all may not be as it seems! In fact, it’s a way of demonstrating respect, rather than being playful, silly or even bad-mannered like it is in Western culture.
All in all, body language plays an important role in communicating with people from other cultures. It can send signals stronger than words.
73．In which country is the thumbs—up sign considered bad mannered?
A．America. B．Japan. C．Greece. D．China.
74．What does it probably imply when people in Eastern Europe shake their head?
A．Agreement. B．Confusion. C．Disapproval. D．Respect.
75．Why does the author introduce us to all these examples?
A．To appeal to more people to engage in communication.
B．To give some practical suggestions to avoid culture shock.
C．To amuse us by telling us some interesting body language.
D．To help us avoid conflicts in cross-cultural communication.

1．A 2．A 3．D 4．D

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍你和不同的陌生人群交流，就会有幸福感。
1．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization, the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits, schedules and interactions. They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction. (研究人员利用劳工统计局和世界卫生组织等来源的公共数据，分析了分享过日常习惯、日程安排和互动的人的数据集和调查结果。他们注意到关系多样性和总体满意度之间的明显关系。)”可知，这一段主要讲述对研究数据进行分析的研究方法。故选A。
2．推理判断题。根据第三段“Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness. Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. “The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are. And we find this in a large sample across many countries,” Collins said. Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories. Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers, that’s going to be more even across these categories,” Collins explained. (这项研究的合著者、哈佛商学院博士生汉恩·柯林斯（Hanne Collins）表示，关系多样性由两个要素组成：丰富性和均匀性。财富衡量的是关系类别，或者你一天中与多少类型的人互动。那可能是你的浪漫伴侣、家人、邻居或陌生人。柯林斯说：“他们在一天中交谈的关系类别越多，甚至他们在这些类别中的对话越多，他们就越快乐。我们在许多国家的一个大样本中发现了这一点。”均匀性与这些不同关系类别之间的对话分布有关。有些人可能会发现自己在工作中与同事的互动比与家人的互动更多。柯林斯解释道：“如果你和同事聊了几次，和朋友聊了几句，和一个浪漫的伴侣聊了几段，或者和陌生人聊了几回，那么这类人的情况会更好。”)”可知，柯林斯主要通过丰富性和均匀性这两个概念来解释他的发现。故选A。
3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio, the happier you are and the higher your well-being. (本质上，这个想法是，你的社交组合越多样化，你就越快乐，你的幸福感就越高。)”可知，柯林斯建议人们尽可能多的和不同的人进行社交。故选D。
4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry, keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being. “（下次你考虑在杂货店排队或在洗衣店等待时与陌生人交谈时，请记住这可能对你的健康有益。）根据第一段“A recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relational diversity.” (一组研究人员最近的一项研究发现，幸福与研究人员创造的“关系多样性”这一术语之间存在联系。)”和最后一段“Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social portfolio, the happier you are and the higher your well-being. (本质上，这个想法是，你的社交组合越多样化，你就越快乐，你的幸福感就越高。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述一个人的幸福感和社交多样化有联系，和不同的陌生人群交流，就会有幸福感。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了全球野生动物损失的严重性，因此需要全球共同努力，关注并解决该问题。
8．推理判断题。根据第一段“Animal populations across the world have been reduced by 69% in less than 50 years, according to a new scientific report. The report’s authors are calling for urgent action to restore the natural world.(根据一份新的科学报告，在不到50年的时间里，世界各地的动物数量减少了69%。该报告的作者呼吁采取紧急行动来恢复自然世界)”以及第二段中“The most recent report, released on October 13, 2022, shows that almost 70% of the world’s monitored wildlife was lost between 1970 and 2018. The report is based on research from 195 countries around the world. Data was collected from almost 32,000 populations of 5,230 species.(2022年10月13日发布的最新报告显示，1970年至2018年期间，全球近70%的受监测野生动物消失。该报告基于全球195个国家的研究。数据来自5230个物种的近32000个种群)”以及第三段中“Latin America and the Caribbean in particular have seen the sharpest fall, having lost 94% of their wildlife since 1970. (拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的野生动物数量下降尤其严重，自1970年以来已经失去了94%的野生动物)”可知，作者主要想通过列举前三段的数字来展示世界范围内野生动物损失的严重性。故选C。
9．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“However, the report also promotes solutions, such as designing less destructive food production systems, urgently protecting the Amazon rainforest, limiting the use of fossil fuels, and creating new laws to protect our natural environment.(然而，该报告也提出了解决方案，例如设计破坏性较小的粮食生产系统，紧急保护亚马逊雨林，限制化石燃料的使用，以及制定新的法律来保护我们的自然环境)”可知，根据该报告，为自然环境提供法律保护是解决野生动物数量下降的一个可能的解决方案。故选C。
10．词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“Commenting on the report, Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF International, called the figures “terrifying”,( 在评论该报告时，世界自然基金会国际总干事马可·兰伯蒂尼称这些数字“令人恐惧”)”以及“we need to restore nature(我们需要恢复自然)”可知，面临野生动物数量急剧下降的情况，我们不仅仅是停止当前的损失，更需要做的是需要去恢复自然。由此可知，划线词halt与stop(停止)意思接近。故选B。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The authors of the LPR say that this is an opportunity for a global plan to deal with wildlife loss and restore nature. “Government leaders must step up at COP 15,” said Lambertini. “The world is watching.”(LPR的作者说，这是一个应对野生动物损失和恢复自然的全球计划的机会。兰伯蒂尼说：“政府领导人必须在第15届缔约方会议上采取行动。“全世界都在看着。”)”可知，兰伯蒂尼认为领导人必须在第15届缔约方会议上采取行动。由此推知，他对野生动物数量减少的态度是担心的。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了乌干达摄影师Mbabazi改变以前的拍摄方式对乌干达残疾女性进行拍摄，以帮助改变其他人对这些女性的看法和对待方式。
19．词义猜测题。根据划线短语所在句“‘fly on the wall’ was Esther Ruth Mbabazi’s approach to photography. Be invisible. Don’t influence the scene.(“fly on the wall”是Esther Ruth Mbabazi的摄影方法。隐形。不影响场景。)”可知，“fly on the wall”这是一种拍摄方式，是隐形的，不会影响场景。由此推知，“fly on the wall”的意思是在不被注意的情况下拍照。故选A项。
20．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Over one year, she made four trips to Gulu and photographed women she met, including a land mine survivor missing a leg, a deaf mother of four, and a blind musician.(在一年多的时间里，她四次前往古卢，拍摄了她遇到的女性，包括一名失去一条腿的地雷幸存者、一位四个孩子的聋哑母亲和一位盲人音乐家。)”可知，Mbabazi选择的拍摄的对象都有不同程度的残疾。故选C项。
21．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“‘I was tired of the images I was seeing out there, especially here in Uganda, where people with disabilities are robbed of their personalities,’ said Mbabazi. ‘They’re photographed as people who can’t do anything. I didn’t want my images to look like that.’(“我厌倦了我在那里看到的画面，特别是在乌干达，残疾人的个性被剥夺了，” Mbabazi说。“他们被拍成什么都做不了的人。我不希望我的图像看起来像那样。”)”可知，原来拍摄的女性残疾人被剥夺了个性，把她们拍摄成为一无是处的人，结合第四段中的“Joyce Auma, 25, who uses wheelchair, chose a blue patterned top and skirt that contrasted beautifully with the vibrant green and blue backdrop. Another, Laker Irene Odwar, who lost her leg in a land mine at age 16,chose a pale blue blazer and a shirt with a smart silk scarf.(25岁的Joyce Auma使用轮椅，她选择了蓝色图案的上衣和裙子，与充满活力的绿色和蓝色背景形成鲜明对比。另一位是湖人Irene Odwar，她在16岁时在地雷中失去了一条腿，她选择了一件淡蓝色的西装外套和一件带有智能丝巾的衬衫。)”可知，Mbabazi拍摄的残疾人照片彰显他们的个性，色彩鲜明，较以前完全不同，富有表现力。故选B项。
22．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As Mbabazi explains, “They said, ‘This shows me as I am in my full existence, my full body, as I am.’” Mbabazi hopes the photos will be exhibited publicly, to help change how the women are seen, and treated, by others.(正如Mbabazi所解释的那样，“他们说，‘这显示了我在我的完整存在中，我的整个身体，就像我一样。’姆巴巴齐希望这些照片能够公开展出，以帮助改变其他人看待和对待这些女性的方式。”)”可知，Mbabazi拍摄的照片帮助改变人们看待和对待残疾女性的方式，由此可知，她的照片的目的是挑战世人看待残疾女性的方式。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了东刺莺鸟的数量迅速下降的原因以及准备拯救它的计划。
23．推理判断题。根据第二段中“At first glance,there is nothing too unique about the eastern bristlebird. Its song,while beautiful, doesn’t stand out in a typical Australian forest. Since the 1980s,researchers have been trying to understand why the eastern bristlebird has seen such rapid decline.(乍一看，东刺莺鸟并没有什么特别之处。它的歌声虽然优美，但在典型的澳大利亚森林中并不突出。自20世纪80年代以来，研究人员一直试图弄清楚为什么东刺莺鸟数量如此迅速地下降)”可知，东刺莺鸟数量迅速下降的情况引起了关注。故选D项。
24．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Time an again, fires taking place unexpectedly come up as the main factor — along with the increase in fire frequency, climate change and habitat loss.(一次又一次，意外发生的火灾成为主要因素，此外还有火灾频率的增加、气候变化和栖息地的丧失)”可知，刺莺鸟数量下降的主要原因是频繁的火灾。故选B项。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段“Fire can be deadly for many wild animals, but there is something special about the bristlebird that makes it particularly vulnerable (脆弱的) to large, frequent fires. Eastern bristle-birds, despite being able to fly, appear not to appreciate the view of a top story. They don’t choose to live in the treetops, or even on lower branches of trees. They preferred low, dense vegetation (植被).(对于许多野生动物来说，火灾是致命的，但bristlebird有一些特殊的地方，使它特别容易受到频繁的大火的影响。尽管会飞，但刺莺鸟似乎不喜欢顶层的景色。它们不选择住在树顶，甚至不选择住在树的低树枝上。它们喜欢低矮茂密的植被)”可知，刺莺鸟偏爱低地栖息地使它容易受到火灾的伤害。故选C项。
26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The eastern bristlebird may only be one fire away from extinction,signaling a possible collapse of their ground-level ecosystem. However, all hope was not lost as this knowledge had led to emergency rescues of bristlebirds. And translocation programs, which has been an important strategy for saving almost every vulnerable native Australian species, are in place for this little unremarkable bird.(刺莺鸟可能离灭绝只有一场大火了，这表明它们的地面生态系统可能崩溃了。然而，所有的希望并没有失去，因为这一知识导致了对刺莺鸟的紧急救援。迁移计划一直是拯救几乎所有脆弱的澳大利亚本土物种的重要策略，为这种不起眼的小鸟准备就绪)”可知，救援迁移计划已为刺莺鸟准备就绪。由此推知，它的下降趋势可能会放缓。故选A项。

【导语】本文是篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己的亲身经历，表达了自己的观点：虽然一个人智力水平和学术成绩很重要，但这并不能说明一切，我们应该欣赏和赞美我们所拥有的各种天赋和能力，它们是让我们的大脑如此美妙和独特的原因之一。
27．推理判断题。根据第二段“Maybe it’s because we’ve become used to believing that only abilities like a high I.Q., a gift for mathematics or a large vocabulary have cognitive (认知的) value.”（也许这是因为我们已经习惯于相信，只有高智商、数学天赋或大词汇量等能力才具有认知价值。）和第一段的“She simply didn’t view her creativity as anything special.”（她只是不认为自己的创造力有什么特别的。）可知，一个擅长搭乐高积木的孩子并不是我们习惯上认知的在学习方面很有才能的孩子，他有着自己独特的创造力，他的能力很可能被人们低估了。故选B。

29．推理判断题。根据第四段“In the early 1980’s, Howard Gardner, a prominent Harvard researcher, pioneered a concept of “multiple intelligences”. ”（20世纪80年代初，哈佛大学著名研究员Howard Gardner率先提出了“多元智能”的概念。）及在书中阐述的“In his book, Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, he suggested that intelligence is not limited to a traditional interpretation but instead includes a wide range of cognitive abilities.”（在他的《思维框架：多元智能理论》一书中，他提出，智能不局限于传统的解释，而是包括广泛的认知能力。）可知，作者提到Howard Gardener的书是为了阐明“多元智能”的概念。故选B。
30．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“What I love about the multiple intelligences theory is that it allows you to reframe your own abilities and talents, especially those that don’t necessarily fit into neat academic boxes. ”（我喜欢多元智能理论的原因是，它可以让你重新构建自己的能力和天赋，尤其是那些不一定符合整齐的学术框架的能力和天赋。）及“This is why we should celebrate all of our talents and abilities. They’re part of what makes your individual brain so wonderful and unique.”（这就是为什么我们应该赞美我们所有的天赋和能力，它们是让你的大脑如此美妙和独特的原因之一。）以及全文内容可知，本文主要表达了我们应该欣赏和赞美所拥有的各种天赋和能力的观点，C项“欣赏你的多元智能”符合文意。故选C。

34．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“I would in fact love to just go on a special elite(精英) lunch with myself. I sit with myself and feel every emotion, making a list of my flaws and my positive characteristics.(事实上，我很想和自己去吃一顿特殊的精英午餐。我和自己坐在一起，感受每一种情绪，列出自己的缺点和积极的特点)”可知，Patel实际上更想和自己吃午餐，因为这样可以感受自己的每一种情绪，列出自己的缺点和优点。故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了对哺乳动物大脑的令人难以置信的发现——一种重要的酶，一种特殊的物质，允许大脑信号被传输。这种酶是随机开启和关闭的，甚至需要几个小时的“休息时间”。
35．推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“University of Copenhagen researchers have made an incredible discovery seeking to learn more about the mammalian brain. A vital enzyme, a special material, allows brain signals to be transmitted or transported. The enzyme is randomly turning on and off, even taking hours-long ‘breaks from work.’(哥本哈根大学的研究人员在寻求更多了解哺乳动物大脑的过程中取得了令人难以置信的发现。一种重要的酶，一种特殊的物质，允许大脑信号被传输。这种酶是随机开启和关闭的，甚至需要几个小时的“休息时间”。)”可知，这种允许大脑信号被传递或运输的酶的开启和关闭是随机的，甚至会休眠几个小时，而这个发现是令人难以置信的，由此可推知，科学家们以前应是认为负责大脑信号传送的这种特殊的酶是不会休息的。故选D项。
36．细节理解题。根据文章第三内容“Millions of neurons are constantly communicating with one another, shaping thoughts and memories and allowing us to move our bodies at will.(数以百万计的神经元不断地相互交流，塑造思想和记忆，并允许我们随意移动身体。)”可知，神经元之间的不间断交流，形成了思想和记忆，以允许我们随着意志移动身体。故选A项。

【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了著名数学家凯瑟琳·约翰逊的一生，以及她的成就。
69．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Math came easily to her, but she worked hard to master geometry and algebra.  To realize her math potential, her father drove his family 120 miles to Institute, West Virginia, where blacks could continue high school education.  Katherine’s excellent performance proved her father’s decision was the right one: Teachers allowed Katherine to skip several grades to graduate from high school at 14 and from college at 18, majoring in mathematics, as the top student of the historically black West Virginia State College in Institute.(数学对她来说很容易，但她仍努力学习去掌握几何和代数。为了实现她的数学潜力，她的父亲开车带着家人120英里来到西弗吉尼亚州的研究所，在那里黑人可以继续接受高中教育。凯瑟琳的优异表现证明了她父亲的决定是正确的：老师允许凯瑟琳跳过几个年级，14岁高中毕业，18岁大学毕业，主修数学，是历史上黑人西弗吉尼亚州立学院的优等生)”可知，凯瑟琳·约翰逊有数学天赋。故选C项。
70．推理判断题。根据第三段中“In 1953, after years as a teacher and later as a stay-at-home mom, she began working for NASA, which began hiring women to measure and calculate the results of wind tunnel tests in 1935.  In a time before the electronic computers, these women were called ”computer“.  Even after NASA began using electronic computers, the astronaut John Glenn requested that she should personally recheck the calculations made by the new electronic computers before his flight.(1953年，在做了多年教师和全职妈妈之后，她开始为美国宇航局工作。1935年，美国宇航局开始雇佣女性来测量和计算风洞测试的结果。在电子计算机出现之前，这些女性被称为“计算机”。即使在美国国家航空航天局开始使用电子计算机之后，宇航员约翰·格伦(John Glenn)也要求她在飞行前亲自检查新电子计算机所做的计算)”可知，即使使用电子计算机之后，宇航员约翰·格伦也要求她在飞行前亲自检查新电子计算机所做的计算，这是为了说明凯瑟琳非凡的计算能力。故选B项。
71．词句猜测题。根据前文“In her honor, NASA had dedicated the Katherine G. Johnson Computational Research Facility at the Langley Research Center(为了纪念她，美国国家航空航天局在兰利研究中心设立了凯瑟琳·G·约翰逊计算研究设施)”可知，最后一段中是在讲述NASA如何纪念凯瑟琳·约翰逊，所以可以推知commemorate应是“纪念”之意，和A项“Honor”意思相近。故选A项。
72．推理判断题。根据第一段中“The stars were always within reach of Katherine Johnson.  Using her mathematics skills, she helped NASA send astronauts to the moon and return them safely home.  She also overcame racial and gender barriers to help make giant leaps for humankind.(凯瑟琳·约翰逊总是能拿到星星。利用她的数学技能，她帮助美国宇航局将宇航员送上月球，并让他们安全返回家园。她还克服了种族和性别障碍，帮助人类实现了巨大的飞跃)”以及后文可知，本文主要介绍了凯瑟琳·约翰逊的一生，以及获得的成就，所以本文的目的是告诉我们一个有成就的女人。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。我们的肢体语言展示了比口头表达更多的思想和感情信息。但是，我们每天使用的肢体语言的含义，在另一种文化中可能意味着截然不同的意思。文章主要列举了全球范围内的一些例子来对此进行说明，目的是为了帮助我们避免跨文化交流冲突。
73．细节理解题。根据Hand and arm gestures部分下的“Do you think the thumbs-up sign is a universal hand gesture for “great”? Well, hopefully you haven’t visited Greece or Sardinia yet, where it’s considered to be as rude as a middle finger signal in the West. (你认为竖起大拇指是表示“伟大”的通用手势吗？好吧，希望你还没有去过希腊或撒丁岛，在那里，这被像在西方竖中指一样被认为是粗鲁的。)”可知，在希腊竖起大拇指被认为是粗鲁的，不礼貌的行为，故选C。
74．细节理解题。根据Head movements部分下的“In many parts of Eastern European, the standard nodding and shaking indicating yes and no are switched, which can, of course, get very confusing. (标准的点头和摇头表示“是”和“不是”，在东欧的许多地方，这是互换的，当然，这可能会变得非常混乱。) ”可知，在东欧摇头是表示“是”，即同意的意思，故选A。
75．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Here’s an introduction to the most unusual examples across the globe, so you can know how to integrate, and what to avoid. ( 下面是全球范围内最不寻常的例子的介绍，这样您就可以知道如何融入进去，以及知道应该避免什么。)”可知，作者介绍给我们这些例子是为了帮助我们避免跨文化交流冲突。故选D。
