As 17-year-old Norwood drove through St. Peters-burg, Florida, last February, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached a crossing, another car T-boned them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.
As smoke rose from the other car, a bystander shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” Shaken, but otherwise OK, she crawled (爬行) out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back to the car and found Simmons passed out in the back seat. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out, avoiding the broken glass as best she could. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.” Nothing.“I put my head against her chest.” No sign of life. “That’s when I started CPR (心肺复苏术).”
Had the accident happened a few weeks earlier, she might not have known what to do. But Norwood, who wants to pursue a career in medicine, had earned her CPR certificate just the day before. Kneeling on the lawn and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she’d learned. She started pumping Simmons’s chest and breathing into her friend’s mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response. And then, after the 30th try, Simmons began coughing and gasping for air. The CPR had worked! Soon, the ambulance arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital, where she received treatment for a cut in her forehead. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I wasn’t shocked,” Simmons told CNN. “She will always help any way she can.”
4、What happened to Norwood’s car in Florida last February?
A. It lost its way at a crossing.
B. It crashed into a nearby building.
C. It was hit by another car from the side.
D. It stopped in St. Peters- burg as planned.
5、Why did Norwood go back to the car?
A. To call for help. B. To check the car.
C. To put out the fire. D. To rescue her friend.
6、What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Norwood was a certificated on- the- job doctor.
B. Simmons didn’t came to herself after the CPR.
C. Norwood learned how to perform CPR recently.
D. Simmons was surprised to be saved by Norwood.
7、Which of the following words can best describe Norwood?
A. Calm and dependable. B. Friendly and selfless.
C. Honest and responsible. D. Helpful and sympathetic.
Generation Z is different. As a whole, Americans born between the late 1990s and early 2000s are less likely to have work or look for it: their labour- force-participation rate is 71%, compared with 75% for millennials (born between 1980 and the late 1990s) and 78% for Generation X (born in the decade or so to 1980) when each came of age. As a result, they make up a smaller share of the workforce. With graduation ceremonies behind them, the latest group of diploma-holders are entering the job market. What they want from employers is also not quite the same as in generations past.
Although Gen-Z employees felt more lonely and isolated than their older colleagues at the start of the pandemic, the ability to work remotely has brought new possibilities. The benefits go beyond working in your pyjamas. Many are taking calls from beach chairs and hammocks (吊床) in more comfortable places or fleeing big cities in search for cheaper or larger homes.
This has big implications. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are falling out of favour with recent graduates. A study by ManpowerGroup, an employment company, suggests an inverse relationship (反比关系) between talent shortages and flexible working policies. The sectors which are either less able to offer remote work or have been slower to embrace it- including construction, finance and manufacturing-have faced some of the biggest skills gaps for all types of job.
That in turn has accelerated a pre-existing trend of young employees trading Wall Street for Silicon Valley. Now technology bosses are more willing than their opposite numbers in finance to let employees work from home (or anywhere else). Annual rankings of employer desirability by Universum, a graduate-staffing consultancy, bear this out. In 2008 the list of best employers graded by American graduates was dominated by big banks and the Big Four consulting firms. By 2021 seven of the ten highest spots were occupied by tech and media giants.
8、What does the underlined word “diploma-holders" in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Employees. B. Students. C. Graduates. D. Shareholders.
9、Why do Gen-Z employees prefer work remotely?
A. They want more holidays on the beach.
B. They love wearing pyjamas while working.
C. They want to work in a more flexible way.
D. They can’t afford the residents in big cities.
10、What does the study by ManpowerGroup suggest?
A. All walks of life are facing some of the biggest skills gaps.
B. Construction, finance and manufacturing can’t offer remote work.
C. Industries with flexible working policies may suffer talent shortages.
D. Industries with jobs that cannot be done from home are less popular.
11、Why does the author mention Wall Street and Silicon Valley?
A. To weigh up the pros and cons of the two industries.
B. To prove industries in technology are more appealing.
C. To predict the change of preference among employees.
D. To show Silicon Valley is a better place to settle down.
Have you ever had the urge to open a book and stick your nose straight into the pages? The smell of old books can refresh any book lovers. We don’t know why, but it is just pleasant to us.
Describing the smell can be a challenge. And mere adjectives will likely be of little use to future generations of historians trying to document, understand or reproduce the scent of slowly decaying books. Now, that task may have just gotten easier thanks to the Historic Book Odor Wheel.
In one experiment, researchers asked visitors at the historic library to characterize the scents they smelled. All the visitors selected words like “woody”, “smoky” and “earthy” from the list, and described the smell’s intensity and perceived pleasantness. In another experiment, the study authors presented visitors to the Birmingham Museum with eight smells-one of which was an unlabeled historic book scent and seven were non-bookish, such as coffee, chocolate, fish market and dirty clothes. The researchers then had those museumgoers describe the historic book smell. The top two responses? Chocolate and coffee.“You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are unlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.
The team even analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the book and the library. Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors’ smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to document the “historic library smell”. Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/ cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the smelly source, like furfural, fill the outer circle. The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untrained noses” can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservators’ concerns about material composition and historic paper conservation. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to reconstruct a past we can no longer smell.
12、What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Addiction to reading books. B. Fascination for smells of books.
C. An odd reading habit. D. A dislike for smelling books.
13、How do people usually describe unlabeled smells?
A. By referring to familiar items. B. By using adjectives to label them.
C. By linking them with food smells. D. By analyzing chemical components.
14、What is the function of the “Historic Book Odor Wheel”?
A. To store book smells. B. To characterize smells.
C. To collect history books. D. To test different scents.
15、What is the potential future application of the study?
A. Creating a whole new scent.
B. Sharpening sensory perceptions.
C. Restoring smells of historic documents.
D. Extracting components of “old book smell”.

16、This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy. ①_______ They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things. But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. ②_______ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. ③_______ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings. It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concerntrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. ④_______ Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. ⑤_______ Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.
G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone.

The Red Tool Box
It was early in 1981 when I first met George. I was in my early 30s, seeking a creative outlet unrelated to the boredom of housework and raising little ones. My children, then aged three and five, were just entering kindergarten and school life. At 65, George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, painting was 'it' and we met at a local TAFE painting class.
George was a man who lived life to the full; he worked hard, played hard, and had an opinion about everything. He adored his wife, his family, his friends, and was loyal and outspoken to an equal degree. George took pride in his fitness and walked three kilometers every day.
And as the only male in a painting class full of women, George was in his element. He took to painting with an awe-inspiring level of passion and devotion, even transforming the spare bedroom of his home into a studio. His painting equipment was comprehensive an easel(画架), quality paints, linseed oil, turpentine, brushes, 8 palette, canvases, charcoal pencils, fixative, palette knives — even a rolling pin for removing air bubbles when gluing. Ever practical, George housed many of these items in a red metal tool box purchased from a local hardware store. Not fancy, but shiny and very red-the sports car of conveyance for painting equipment.
For about six years George and I studied together through various units until the completion of the course and other commitments drew us apart, though we always maintained personal contact as we lived within a couple of kilometers of each other. I'd sometimes see him on his daily walk or at the local shops and occasionally we'd touch base with a 'proper' afternoon tea, sharing a cuppa and a chinwag(聊天).
Let's fast-forward some years and George was about 80 years old.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
George rang one day and asked me to go to his house, saying he needed to ask me something.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And so it was that George left all his painting equipment to me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

32、答案：was invented ; development ; greater ; advanced ; increasing ; which; an ; gradually ; to; requires
解析：①考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:算盘是在小棍子的基础上发明的。空处作谓语,invent与主语The abacus之间是被动关系,且动作发生在过去,所以要用一般过去时的被动语态。The abacus为第三人称单数,故填was invented。
②考查名词。句意:后来,随着生产力的发展,计算量变得更大了。空处作介词with的宾语,由空前的the和空后的of可知,此处要用名词。
③考查形容词比较级。句意同上一题。此处指计算量比以前大了,所以要用形容词的比较级。
④考查形容词。句意:因此,人们发明了一种更先进的计算器-算盘。空处作定语修饰后面的名词counter,所以要用形容词形式,表示“先进的”。
⑤考查非谓语动词。句意:随着算盘的应用,人们总结了许多珠算口诀,提高了计算速度。increasing the calculating speed为现在分词短语作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。
⑥考查关系词。句意:到了明代,人们可以用算盘做加法、减法、乘法、除法,这些算法被广泛用于计算重量、数量、空间和体积。"⑥_________ were widely used for calculating the weight,  amount,  space and volume"是非限制性定语从句,先行词为"addition, subtraction, multiplication and division",空处要用关系代词which在从句中作主语。注意:that不能引导非限制性定语从句。
⑦考查冠词。句意:因为算盘很容易制作或购买,珠算口诀也很容易记住,所以算盘在中国古代被广泛使用。空后的abacus是可数名词单数,此处表示泛指,且abacus以元音音素开头,所以要用不定冠词an。
⑧考查副词。句意:后来算盘逐渐传入日本、朝鲜以及东南亚的一些国家和地区。处作状语修饰谓语动词was spread,所以要用副词。
⑨考查介词。句意:人们发现使用算盘除了可以提供方便的运算外,还可以提高思维和实践能力。in addition to是固定短语,意为“除……之外(还)”。
⑩考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:因为它需要心、眼、手的配合,所以它是提高综合反应能力的好方法。此处陈述的是关于珠算的常识,所以要用一般现在时;主语是it,所以谓语动词要用单数形式。

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