4 Most walkable cities in Europe
Seville, Spain
Seville in Spain takes the top spot as Europe’s most walkable city, offering the shortest walking route between the top four tourist attractions.Visitors can explore the impressive Plaza de Espana public square, before wandering over to the UNESCO-listed palace of Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral. After that, it’s only a short trip on foot to visit the beautiful Barrio Santa Cruz neighbourhood.
Venice, Italy
Venice is well-known as a heaven for pedestrians (行人), so it’s no surprise it ranks as the second best location for walkable city breaks. There are endless alleyways to explore, as well as plenty of beautiful bridges over the crisscrossing canals that the city is famous for. Just under half an hour of walking here will take you on a tour of the impressive Grand Canal, Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s Square, Basilica and bell tower, all in only 1.3 miles.
Porto, Portugal
Nestled along Portugal’s picturesque coast, Porto comes in third with its top attractions all covered by a 30-minute walking route. Meander along the Dom Luís I Bridge over the Douro River, head to the Clérigos Church Bell Tower and enjoy a riverfront walking place along the Cais da Ribeira. The Stock Exchange Palace is also just a short walk away.
Florence, Italy
Florence, Italy, secures its place as the fourth most walkable city in Europe thanks to its stunning attractions that can be seamlessly explored on foot. A 1.6 mile route covers the awe-inspiring Piazzale Michelangelo; the famous Uffizi Gallery; the Piazza del Duomo where you will be amazed at the magnificent Florence Cathedral; and the Galleria dell’Accademia, home to Michelangelo’s masterpiece, the statue of David.
1. How long is probably the walking route in Seville
A. 1.1 miles. B. 1.3 meters. C. 1.6 meters. D. 1.8 meters.

【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个欧洲最适合步行的城市。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Seville, Spain部分提到的“Seville in Spain takes the top spot as Europe’s most walkable city, offering the shortest walking route between the top four tourist attractions.(西班牙的塞维利亚被评为欧洲最适合步行的城市，在四大旅游景点之间的步行路线最短)”，Venice, Italy部分提到“Just under half an hour of walking here will take you on a tour of the impressive Grand Canal, Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s Square, Basilica and bell tower, all in only 1.3 miles.(在这里步行不到半小时，你就可以参观令人印象深刻的大运河、总督府、圣马可广场、大教堂和钟楼，所有这些都只有1.3英里)”，Porto, Portugal部分提到“Nestled along Portugal’s picturesque coast, Porto comes in third with its top attractions all covered by a 30-minute walking route.(坐落在葡萄牙风景如画的海岸上，波尔图排名第三，其顶级景点都是30分钟的步行路线)”以及Florence, Italy部分提到“A 1.6 mile route covers the awe-inspiring Piazzale Michelangelo; the famous Uffizi Gallery; the Piazza del Duomo where you will be amazed at the magnificent Florence Cathedral; and the Galleria dell’Accademia, home to Michelangelo’s masterpiece, the statue of David.(1.6英里长的路线包括令人敬畏的米开朗基罗广场；著名的乌菲齐美术馆；大教堂广场，宏伟的佛罗伦萨大教堂令您惊叹不已;还有学院美术馆，这里收藏着米开朗基罗的杰作——大卫雕像)”可知，文章提到塞尔维亚适合步行的路线是这四个景点中最短的。结合选项可知，塞维利亚的步行路线大概有1.1英里。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Porto, Portugal部分提到的“Meander along the Dom Luís I Bridge over the Douro River, head to the Clérigos Church Bell Tower and enjoy a riverfront walking place along the Cais da Ribeira.(沿着杜罗河上的Dom Luís I桥蜿蜒而行，前往Clérigos教堂钟楼，沿着Cais da Ribeira享受河边散步)”可知，在波尔图可以沿着河边散步，而河流最终流入大海，波尔图可能也位于海边。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章标题“4 Most walkable cities in Europe(四个欧洲最适合步行的城市)”可知，文章主要介绍了四个欧洲最适合步行的城市。由此推知，本文是为了吸引更多的游客来这些城市徒步旅游。故选D。
B
Having worked for more than a decade in finance in the oil industry in Canada, Tori Fahey found herself wanting more from life. But it wasn't through desperation that her circumstances changed: “I didn't get fed up and storm off, nothing like that; it was curiosity about other interests and wanting to experience something new.”
Fahey left her job and completed an MBA before setting up a move to New York to begin a degree. However, the opportunity of an open year between the MBA and the degree came up, and as a keen touring cyclist, Fahey realised that a much dreamed-about adventure was now becoming a possibility: "The ride in Africa had been on my fantasy list. It was a moment when I realised that I could do anything, so I should."
Fahey rode across Africa, a 7,500-mile trip that took four months. The whole experience had a life-changing impact. Fahey said: “Bicycles provide a literal freedom. You don't allow yourself to feel like that in everyday life because there are so many distractions. But when you' re out on the bike and there's nothing else, you' re really free to experience what life is.”
Post-degree, Fahey worked on projects with the UNDP(United Nations Development Project) in Montenegro with the aim of bringing investment to rural communities.
It was while working on these projects that the seeds were sown for the next new investment. “It was through my trip across Africa that I discovered pannier and rack systems inconvenient and I was never going to use them again.” Little did she know this would lead her to start up her own company.
In 2013, Apidura was born, producing storage solutions for people looking to travel the world by bike, race across continents and carry all they need to do so. It's now a successful global brand, but Fahey remains reflective about what else the company can do for people.
4. Why did Fahey leave her job in Canada
A. She was bored with the job. B. She was disappointed with life.
C. She wanted to add new dimensions to her life. D. She found it hard to adjust to the circumstances.
5. Which can best describe Fahey's ride experience in Africa
A. Demanding. B. Liberating. C. Eventful. D. Dangerous.
6. Why did Fahey launch Apidura
A. To encourage bicycle traveling. B. To make her investment profitable.
C. To help cyclists carry traveling stuff. D. To increase the pleasure of riding bikes.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. A tough path to fame. B. An adventure across Africa.
C. The benefits of green travelling. D. The story behind the birth of Apidura.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了渴望体验新事物的Tori Fahey辞掉了工作，在接受MBA学位教育期间去非洲进行了自行车旅行，在旅途中感到很自由，还因此创办了自己的公司Apidura。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Having worked for more than a decade in finance in the oil industry in Canada, Tori Fahey found herself wanting more from life. But it wasn't through desperation that her circumstances changed: “I didn't get fed up and storm off, nothing like that it was curiosity about other interests and wanting to experience something new.”(Tori Fahey在加拿大石油行业金融业工作了十多年，发现自己想从生活中得到更多。但她的情况并不是在绝望中改变的:“我并不是因为受够了而愤然离开，而是对其他兴趣的好奇，想要体验新事物。”)”可知，Fahey辞掉她在加拿大的工作是因为她想给她的生活增加新的维度。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Fahey said: “Bicycles provide a literal freedom. You don't allow yourself to feel like that in everyday life because there are so many distractions. But when you' re out on the bike and there's nothing else, you' re really free to experience what life is.”(Fahey说：“自行车提供了一种真正的自由。在日常生活中你不会有这样的感觉，因为有太多的干扰。但当你骑着自行车外出时，没有别的干扰，你就可以真正自由地体验生活。”)”可推知，Fahey在非洲的骑行经历很自由。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““It was through my trip across Africa that I discovered pannier and rack systems inconvenient and I was never going to use them again.” Little did she know this would lead her to start up her own company.(“在我穿越非洲的旅途中，我发现pannier和rack系统很不方便，我再也不会使用它们了。”她当时根本不知道这会促使她创办自己的公司)”以及最后一段中“In 2013, Apidura was born, producing storage solutions for people looking to travel the world by bike, race across continents and carry all they need to do so.(2013年，Apidura诞生了，为那些想要骑自行车环游世界、跨大洲比赛并携带所需物品的人提供存储解决方案)”可知，Fahey创办Apidura是为了帮助骑自行车的人携带旅行物品。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In 2013, Apidura was born, producing storage solutions for people looking to travel the world by bike, race across continents and carry all they need to do so. It's now a successful global brand, but Fahey remains reflective about what else the company can do for people.(2013年，Apidura诞生了，为那些想要骑自行车环游世界、跨大洲比赛并携带所需物品的人提供存储解决方案。它现在是一个成功的全球品牌，但Fahey仍然在思考公司还能为人们做些什么)”结合文章主要讲述了渴望体验新事物的Tori Fahey辞掉了工作，在接受MBA学位教育期间去非洲进行了自行车旅行，在旅途中感到很自由，还因此创办了自己的公司Apidura，可知，这篇文章主要讲了Apidura诞生背后的故事。故选D。
C
Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知) What about our body Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our brain Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.
If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.
Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.
Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.
For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.
Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.
8. According to the author, what is the significance of EC
A. It brings us closer to the truth in human cognition.
B. It offers a clearer picture of the shape of human brain.
C. It reveals the major role of the mind in human cognition.
D. It facilitates our understanding of the origin of psychology.
9. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from
A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs.
C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings.
10. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5
A. Human speech is alive with metaphors.
B. Human senses have effects on thinking.
C. Human language is shaped by visual images.
D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To deepen the readers’ understanding of EC.
B. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice.
C. To guide the reader onto the path to career success.
D. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了心理学家的一项EC理论表明，我们不是只有大脑负责人类的认知，我们的身体也负责思考或者解决问题。更准确的说思想塑造身体，身体同等程度地塑造思想。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段第五句话“The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.(EC理论表明，我们的身体也负责思考或解决问题。更准确地说，思维塑造身体，身体同等程度地塑造思维。)”可推知，EC理论让我们更接近人类认知的真相。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第四句话“They don’t have emotions so much as need — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world，they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.(他们没有如同需要那么多的情感——他们不会感到悲伤，他们只是饿，需要食物。即使是未出生的婴儿也能感觉到母亲的心跳，这具有镇静作用。在现实世界中，他们冷了就哭，然后被拥抱。这样，他们开始将温暖与被爱联系起来)”可推知，新生儿对周围环境的理解依靠的是身体感觉。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第一句话“For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking.(为了进一步证明，我们可以看看我们不假思索就使用的比喻)”和第四段第一句话“Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction.(更多的研究支持了身心互动)”可知，两个自然段都是为了证明上文第三段EC的观点“Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.(年长的西方哲学家和主流语言研究人员认为这是事实，而EC理论认为大脑和身体作为一台有机的超级计算机协同工作，处理一切并形成反应)”。所以，作者想要印证的是人类的感官对思维有影响。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it (既然您已经掌握了身心互动的知识，为什么不使用它呢 )”以及下文中列举的两种现实生活中的情况“If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. (如果你今天过得很糟糕，一杯温暖的茶会给你带来一瞬间的快乐。如果你知道自己身体很冷，在做出任何人际关系决定之前先热身。)”可推知，最后一段作者鼓励读者把 EC 理论运用于现实生活中。故选B。
D
Asteroids (小行星) are believed to have formed early in our solar system’s history — about 4.5 billion years ago — when a cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula (太阳星云) collapsed and formed our sun and the planets. By visiting these near Earth objects to study the material that came from the solar nebula, we can look for answers to some of humankind’s most arresting questions, such as: How did the solar system form and where did the Earth’s water and other organic materials such as carbon come from In addition to unlocking clues about our solar system, asteroids may provide clues about our Earth. By understanding more about asteroids, we may learn more about past Earth impacts and possibly find ways to reduce the threat of future impacts.
If we don’t want to go the way of the dinosaurs someday we need to protect ourselves against the threat of being hit by a big asteroid. According to NASA, typically about once every 10,000 years, a rock y or iron asteroid the size of a football field could crash into our planet and possibly cause tidal waves big enough to flood coastal areas.
But what we really have to fear is asteroids about 328 feet across or bigger. Such an impact would cause a firestorm and fill the atmosphere with sun-blocking dust, which would wipe out forests and farm fields and starve the human and animal life that it didn’t immediately kill.
That’s why it’s vital to develop a way to neutralize such a threat to Earth. NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test, launched in late November 2021, was the first mission to demonstrate a technology called asteroid redirection by manmade impactor. A robotic spacecraft will be crashed into an asteroid named Didymos, in an effort to show that it’s possible to slightly change the path of an asteroid. That would enable NASA to redirect potential threats to miss Earth.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. How solar system came into being.
B. How long asteroids have existed.
C. Why asteroids are to be explored.
D. When asteroids will impact Earth.
13. Why does the author mention dinosaurs in paragraph 2
A. To make the text more interesting.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To grab readers’ attention to asteroids.
D. To show the disaster from an asteroid impact.
14 Which can best replace “neutralize” underlined in paragraph 4
A. strengthen B. avoid C. beautify D. realize
15. What can we know about asteroids
A. Dinosaurs may live on some of them.
B. They were formed earlier than Earth.
C. Exploring them helps us know Earth.
D. NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test failed.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了了解小行星的好处，但也需谨防其对地球的危险，介绍了美国国家航空航天局的人造撞击器小行星重定向技术及其演示。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段中的“By visiting these near Earth objects to study the material that came from the solar nebula, we can look for answers to some of humankind’s most arresting questions, such as: How did the solar system form and where did the Earth’s water and other organic materials such as carbon come from In addition to unlocking clues about our solar system, asteroids may provide clues about our Earth. By understanding more about asteroids, we may learn more about past Earth impacts and possibly find ways to reduce the threat of future impacts. (通过访问这些近地天体来研究来自太阳星云的物质，我们可以寻找一些人类最引人注目的问题的答案，例如：太阳系是如何形成的，地球的水和碳等其他有机物质来自哪里？除了解开关于我们太阳系的线索外，小行星还可能提供关于我们地球的线索。通过更多地了解小行星，我们可能会更多地了解过去对地球的撞击，并可能找到减少未来撞击威胁的方法)”可知，第一段主要讲了为什么要探索小行星。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“If we don’t want to go the way of the dinosaurs someday, we need to protect ourselves against the threat of being hit by a big asteroid. According to NASA, typically about once every 10,000 years, a rock y or iron asteroid the size of a football field could crash into our planet and possibly cause tidal waves big enough to flood coastal areas. (如果有一天我们不想走恐龙的路，我们需要保护自己免受被大小行星撞击的威胁。据美国国家航空航天局称，通常每10000年就会有一颗足球场大小的岩石或铁小行星撞击我们的星球，并可能引发足以淹没沿海地区的潮汐)”可知，通常每10000年就会有一颗足球场大小的岩石或铁块大小的小行星撞击我们的星球，并可能引发灾难，恐龙已灭绝，作者在第二段中提到恐龙是为了展示小行星撞击造成的灾难。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。由第四段中的“That’s why it’s vital to develop a way to neutralize such a threat to Earth.

第二节 七选五 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项为多余选项。
When you’re meeting someone new, concentrate your full attention on him. ___16___ Instead, look the person in the eye, shake hands, and listen carefully to his whole name as it’s said.
Ask
Speak the name back to the person in the form of a question. “Hi, I’m Katherine. I’m sorry, did you say Don or Dom ” Or “Robert, is it Nice to meet you. I’m Katherine.” ___17___ Thus, by repeating the name this way, you’re increasing your chances of remembering it. To up the odds even more, try working in another question if possible: “Are you Stephen with a ‘ph’ or a ‘v’ ” “Ty...Is that short for Tyler ”
Associate
___18___ If your new acquaintance goes by Bill, make quick mental associations with famous people named Bill, relatives named Bill, or any other kind of bill. Creating mental connections and supporting them with a statement said aloud further cements the name in your memory.
Employ
After repeating the name and then commenting on it, use it once or twice more in conversation. Do this either by addressing the person directly or referring to him while speaking to someone else (“Hey, Jim! Bill and I were just talking about that new Brad Pitt movie!”) ___19___ Be careful not to overuse the name, though, since that can come off as awkward or insincere.
Using a person’s name is a key to opening doors for you and to maintaining an initial rapport(和谐的关系) that could make this person a new friend for life or a lifelong business partner. ___20___
A. You can write down the name when it is necessary.
B. When the conversation ends, use the person’s name again.
C. The brain responds more actively when a question is answered.
D. Whenever you are introduced to someone, keep your mind on it.
E. Don’t race ahead in your mind to come up with something to say.
F. Next, tell yourself something about the name to ensure that it sticks.
G. Make the decision to start remembering people’s names from today!

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了动画电影《长安三万里》所取得的成就、电影故事简介及文化意义。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：动画电影《长安三万里》出人意料地大受欢迎，上映仅10天就在中国大陆获得了令人印象深刻的6亿元票房。空后的名词hit表示“很受欢迎的人（或事物），成功”，此处泛指这部电影是一个“令人意想不到的成功”，所以填不定冠词。surprise发音以辅音音素开头，所以填a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：它吸引了各个年龄段的观众，他们热情地与屏幕上的角色一起朗诵诗歌，带他们踏上了一段奇妙的旅程。空后是谓语动词recite，所以此处要用副词形式，作状语修饰动词，enthusiastic的副词形式是enthusiastically，表示“热情地”。故填enthusiastically。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这部电影不仅认同中国人，而且让世界探索唐诗的丰富传统和“中国诗歌宇宙”。此处考查allow sb to do sth，表示“允许某人做某事”，所以填to explore作宾补。故填to explore。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：故事围绕诗人高适和浪漫主义诗人李白之间的深厚友谊展开，简要介绍了以经济繁荣和文化进步而闻名的唐朝的辉煌历史。分析句子结构，“___5___ is known for its economic prosperity and cultural advancement”是定语从句，主句谓语动词是centers，所以offer要用其非谓语形式。动词offer与逻辑主语The story之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词offering作状语。故填offering。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：故事围绕诗人高适和浪漫主义诗人李白之间的深厚友谊展开，简要介绍了以经济繁荣和文化进步而闻名的唐朝的辉煌历史。分析句子结构，“___5___ is known for its economic prosperity and cultural advancement”是非限制定语从句，修饰 the glorious history of the Tang era，在从句中作主语，所以填关系代词which。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：这些诗将观众从沙漠地带带到长江沿岸雾气弥漫的地区。根据句意和空后介词to可知，此处填介词from，构成短语from…to…表示“从……到……”。故填from。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：《长安三万里》无疑是一部向世界展示中国文化特色的杰作。空前是形容词unique，所以该空填名词，中国文化不仅仅是一个特色，所以要用其复数形式，即characteristics，作宾语。故填characteristics。
【43题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：在中国，诗人和他们的诗被认为是国宝。分析句子成分，该空在句中作谓语动词。由句意可知，此处表示客观事实，用一般现在时，主语poets and their poems和谓语动词consider之间是被动关系，表示“被视为”，所以要用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数，be动词用are。故填are considered。
【44题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意：这些诗不仅描绘了一个朝代历史变迁，也描绘了人们对世界的认识。空后是名词understanding，所以该空要填名词所有格形式，即people’s作定语。故填people’s。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：这部电影提高了观众的意识，增强了他们对中国文化的热爱和信仰。空前是名词所有格audiences’，所以该空填名词作动词 has raised的宾语。aware的名词形式是awareness，表示“意识”，是不可数名词。故填awareness。

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。
A shop owner placed a sign above his door that said: “Puppies For Sale.”
Signs like this always have a way of attracting young children, and to no surprise, a boy saw the sign and approached the owner, “How much are you going to sell the puppies for ” he asked. The store owner replied, “Anywhere from $30 to $50.” The little boy pulled out some change from his pocket. “I have $2.37,” he said. “Can I please look at them ”
The shop owner smiled and whistled. Out came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his shop followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur. One puppy was lagging (走得慢) considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog ”
The shop owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didn’t have a hip socket. It would always be lame (瘸的). The little boy became excited. “That is the puppy that I want to buy.” The shop owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.”
The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store owner’s eyes, pointing his finger, and said, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. In fact, I’ll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for.” The shop owner said, “You really don’t want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“Well, I don’t walk so well myself.” said the little boy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The little boy took the little lame dog home happily.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Well, I don’t walk so well myself.” said the little boy. He reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the shop owner and softly replied, “The little puppy will need someone who understands!” The manager was compassionate. He insisted that he take the puppy free of cost. But the boy did not agree. He strongly argued, “The lame puppy is not worthless. We will pay for it the same price which you charge for the healthy ones.” Finally, the shop owner compromised and instructed the boy how to take good care of the little puppy.
The little boy took the little lame dog home happily. Ever since, they played together; they ate together; sometimes they even slept together. The little lame boy and the little lame puppy became best friends. Naturally, everybody deserves to be recognized, respected and loved. Every person has his own value and should never be judged by his outward appearance. Persons with disabilities need our special care, attention, consideration and encouragement. With our sincere support, they can achieve wonderful things in life and become an inspiration to all.

Having worked for more than a decade in finance in the oil industry in Canada, Tori Fahey found herself wanting more from life. But it wasn't through desperation that her circumstances changed: “I didn't get fed up and storm off, nothing like that; it was curiosity about other interests and wanting to experience something new.”
Fahey left her job and completed an MBA before setting up a move to New York to begin a degree. However, the opportunity of an open year between the MBA and the degree came up, and as a keen touring cyclist, Fahey realised that a much dreamed-about adventure was now becoming a possibility: "The ride in Africa had been on my fantasy list. It was a moment when I realised that I could do anything, so I should."
Fahey rode across Africa, a 7,500-mile trip that took four months. The whole experience had a life-changing impact. Fahey said: “Bicycles provide a literal freedom. You don't allow yourself to feel like that in everyday life because there are so many distractions. But when you' re out on the bike and there's nothing else, you' re really free to experience what life is.”
Post-degree, Fahey worked on projects with the UNDP(United Nations Development Project) in Montenegro with the aim of bringing investment to rural communities.
It was while working on these projects that the seeds were sown for the next new investment. “It was through my trip across Africa that I discovered pannier and rack systems inconvenient and I was never going to use them again.” Little did she know this would lead her to start up her own company.
In 2013, Apidura was born, producing storage solutions for people looking to travel the world by bike, race across continents and carry all they need to do so. It's now a successful global brand, but Fahey remains reflective about what else the company can do for people.
4. Why did Fahey leave her job in Canada
A. She was bored with the job. B. She was disappointed with life.
C. She wanted to add new dimensions to her life. D. She found it hard to adjust to the circumstances.
5. Which can best describe Fahey's ride experience in Africa
A. Demanding. B. Liberating. C. Eventful. D. Dangerous.
6. Why did Fahey launch Apidura
A. To encourage bicycle traveling. B. To make her investment profitable.
C. To help cyclists carry traveling stuff. D. To increase the pleasure of riding bikes.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. A tough path to fame. B. An adventure across Africa.
C. The benefits of green travelling. D. The story behind the birth of Apidura.
C
Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知) What about our body Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our brain Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.
If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.
Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.
Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.
For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.
Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.

Asteroids (小行星) are believed to have formed early in our solar system’s history — about 4.5 billion years ago — when a cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula (太阳星云) collapsed and formed our sun and the planets. By visiting these near Earth objects to study the material that came from the solar nebula, we can look for answers to some of humankind’s most arresting questions, such as: How did the solar system form and where did the Earth’s water and other organic materials such as carbon come from In addition to unlocking clues about our solar system, asteroids may provide clues about our Earth. By understanding more about asteroids, we may learn more about past Earth impacts and possibly find ways to reduce the threat of future impacts.
If we don’t want to go the way of the dinosaurs someday, we need to protect ourselves against the threat of being hit by a big asteroid. According to NASA, typically about once every 10,000 years, a rock y or iron asteroid the size of a football field could crash into our planet and possibly cause tidal waves big enough to flood coastal areas.
But what we really have to fear is asteroids about 328 feet across or bigger. Such an impact would cause a firestorm and fill the atmosphere with sun-blocking dust, which would wipe out forests and farm fields and starve the human and animal life that it didn’t immediately kill.
That’s why it’s vital to develop a way to neutralize such a threat to Earth. NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test, launched in late November 2021, was the first mission to demonstrate a technology called asteroid redirection by manmade impactor. A robotic spacecraft will be crashed into an asteroid named Didymos, in an effort to show that it’s possible to slightly change the path of an asteroid. That would enable NASA to redirect potential threats to miss Earth.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. How solar system came into being.
B. How long asteroids have existed.
C. Why asteroids are to be explored.
D. When asteroids will impact Earth.
13. Why does the author mention dinosaurs in paragraph 2

B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C To grab readers’ attention to asteroids.
D. To show the disaster from an asteroid impact.
14. Which can best replace “neutralize” underlined in paragraph 4
A. strengthen B. avoid C. beautify D. realize
15. What can we know about asteroids
A. Dinosaurs may live on some of them.
B. They were formed earlier than Earth.
C. Exploring them helps us know Earth.
D. NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test failed.

When you’re meeting someone new, concentrate your full attention on him. ___16___ Instead, look the person in the eye, shake hands, and listen carefully to his whole name as it’s said.

The store owner replied, “Anywhere from $30 to $50.” The little boy pulled out some change from his pocket. “I have $2.37,” he said. “Can I please look at them ”
The shop owner smiled and whistled. Out came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his shop followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur. One puppy was lagging (走得慢) considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog ”
The shop owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didn’t have a hip socket. It would always be lame (瘸的).

That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. In fact, I’ll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for.” The shop owner said, “You really don’t want to buy this little dog.
