Have you ever seen a bee fly busily Do you think the bee is just flying around Actually, the bee is hard at work.
Bees spend a lot of time looking for food. But not all the bees in the hive(蜂巢) have this work. Bees can be divided into three kinds—a queen bee, drones(雄蜂), and worker bees. The queen bee is very important. She is the mother of all the bees that live in the hive. Worker bees do all the other work in the hive. Besides looking for food, they make and clean the hive. They also take care of the queen and protect her.
Bees make dance-like movements inside the hive to send messages about food. They use different movements to give different kinds of information. They tell where food can be found and how far away it is from the hive. Bees can even share how much food there is and how good it is.
And surprisingly, a new research has found that a group of bees could generate an amazing amount of electricity by beating their wings more than 200 times per second. And the amount of electricity could reach 100 to 1,000 V(伏). That’s eight times greater than the electricity a storm cloud can produce.
Scientists found that the denser(密集的) the cloud of bees is, the bigger the electrical field is. Based on these findings, the team recorded that bees—which group in huge, dense clouds—could have an influence similar to that of a storm. Further research is needed to find out how electricity influences the bees and their environment.

Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn their names and think to yourself, “Wow! They really look just like their names!” What does this mean exactly Scientists are suggesting that humans like to connect people’s names with their appearances, and can even guess someone’s name according to how they look.
Researchers at Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They marked each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers（志愿者）to guess which of the four names was correct. They were able to guess the right name 38% of the time. It seems that humans are able to know certain characteristics（特点）of faces that can give them something about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.
However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. Besides, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames（昵称）more often than their real names. This shows that a person’s appearance is influenced by their name only if they use it often.
“This kind of face—name matching happens because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy（自我实现预言）, as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert.
Studies have shown that gender and race stereotypes（性别和种族刻板印象）can influence a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people usually think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate（娇弱的）and female, just like the flower they are named for.
56．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．It’s not polite to ask strangers about their names.
B．There are several ways to guess a stranger’s name.
C．A person’s appearance can be influenced in three ways.
D．People can guess others’ names according to their appearances.
57．What can we know from this research
A．Nicknames have a bigger influence on people s appearances.
B．Gender and race have no influence on a person’s appearance.
C．The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten.
D．People are good at guessing the different characteristics of faces.
58．Why does Dr. Ruth thinks some people look like their names
A．racial stereotypes B．their living environment
C．their special culture D．a self-fulfilling prophecy
59．According to the passage, men named Bob are expected to _______.
A．have big eyes B．look strong
C．have round faces D．wear glasses
60．How is this passage developed
A．By doing a test. B．By giving examples.
C．By asking questions. D．By comparing different ways.
【答案】56．D 57．C 58．D 59．C 60．D
【导语】本文讲述人们可以根据外表猜测出别人的名字。一个人的外表会受名字的影响。
56．主旨大意题。根据“Scientists are suggesting that humans like to connect people’s names with their appearances, and can even guess someone’s name according to how they look.”可知，人类倾向于把人的名字和他们的外表联系起来，甚至可以根据他们的外表猜别人的名字。所以这篇文章告诉我们人们可以通过外表猜测别人的名字，故选D。
57．推理判断题。根据“Then, they asked volunteers（志愿者）to guess which of the four names was correct. They were able to guess the right name 38% of the time.”可知志愿者们有40%的正确率，故选C。
58．细节理解题。根据“This kind of face—name matching happens because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy（自我实现预言）, as we become what other people expect us to become,”可知，这种面孔和名字的匹配是因为自我实现预言的过程，因为我们会成为别人期望我们成为的人。所以他认为是因为自我实现的预言，故选D。
59．细节理解题。根据“ For example, people usually think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round.”可知，人们倾向于认为叫鲍勃的男人应该有更圆的脸。故选C。
60．推理判断题。第二段介绍了一个实验，第三段和第五段分别介绍了昵称、自我实现语言和性别和种族刻板印象等方面。故选D。
V.阅读还原（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
It’s not unusual for us to change friends, change schools or change the way we dress as we’re growing up. 61 That’s the life of Meilin Lee, the perfectly imperfect main character of Disney-Pixar’s new film Turning Red.
62 Set in Toronto, Canada in the year 2002, Meilin is a confident 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian girl who is going through puberty(青春) troubles. However, one morning, after a frightening dream, she discovers that she has turned into a giant red panda, later learning that her ancestors have a shared history with the species. Whenever she gets too excited or stressed, she turns into the red panda.
Actress Rosalie Chiang, 16, lends her voice to Meilin. “ 63 The panda represents her insecurity(不安全感) and fear,” Rosalie says. “The movie gives a new view on Asian family life.” Rosalie says Asians in films before have often been shown as examples of success. 64 Turning Red is hoped to have a good influence on other movies focusing on Asian characters.
Accept your insecurities. For Rosalie, that’s the message to take away from Meilin’s adventures. “All these insecurities and these differences are what make people who they are,” Rosalie adds. “ 65 ”
Turning Red was released on March 11, 2022.
A．But what about changing into a giant red panda
B．The film tells a coming-of-age story like no other.
C．This movie presents Meilin as an imperfect person.
D．But do you know the film which is about changing colors
E．Find out who you are, not what other people want you to be.
F．This movie can put pressure on local audiences to live up to high expectations.
【答案】61．A 62．B 63．C 64．F 65．E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了电影《青春变形记》（Turning Red）的主要内容。
61．根据上文“It’s not unusual for us to change friends, change schools or change the way we dress as we’re growing up.”可知这里提到了改变, 据此判断问句询问的是“但是变成一只巨大的红色熊猫呢”。故选A。
62．根据下文“Set in Toronto, Canada in the year 2002, Meilin is a confident 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian girl who is going through puberty(青春期) troubles.”可知，下文开始介绍电影的主要内容，则空格处要表达的含义为“这部电影讲述了一个与众不同的成长故事”。故选B。
63．根据下文“The panda represents her insecurity(不安全感) and fear.”可知，这句话表达了梅林的不安全感与恐惧，则空格处要表达的含义为“这部电影把梅林塑造成一个不完美的人”。故选C。
64．根据下文“Turning Red is hoped to have a good influence on other movies focusing on Asian characters.”可知，空格处要表达的含义为“这部电影可能会给当地观众带来压力, 要求他们达到更高的期望”。故选F。
65．根据上文““All these insecurities and these differences are what make people who they are,”Rosalie adds.”可知，空格处要表达的含义为“弄清你是谁, 而不是别人想让你成为什么”。故选E。

【导语】本文讲述了胡丹村已成为农村环境管理的典范，许多人也开始学习其经验。
66．句意：垃圾分类对国家和人民都有好处。be good for…意为“对……有好处”，是固定短语。故填for。
67．句意：听到喇叭声，村民们带着一大袋已分类的垃圾跑了出去。根据“the loudspeaker”可知听到喇叭声；hear“听”，为动词，这里用hearing作状语，位于句首，首字母需要大写。故填Hearing。
68．句意：垃圾是个好东西，我们现在已经习惯了。be used to sth意为“习惯某物”，是固定短语。故填used。
69．句意：80岁的云天宏自愿成为一名环境检查员。根据“an environmental inspector”可知自愿成为一名环境检查员，动词become意为“成为”，volunteer to do sth意为“志愿做某事”，应填动词原形。故填become。
70．句意：每天，他都会四处走动，并在村里的微信群上发布他发现的清洁问题。根据题干可知本句为定语从句，先行词为“problems”，指物，从句缺少宾语，故用that指代“problems”。故填that。

72．句意：当地村民云翠兰表示，即使是孩子们也知道需要整理他们的垃圾。根据“the kids”可知这里指孩子们也知道需要整理他们的垃圾；their意为“他们的”，为形容词性物主代词，后跟名词。故填their。

74．句意：如今，胡丹村已成为农村环境管理的典范，许多人也开始学习其经验。learn from意为“从……中学习”。故填from。
75．句意：这就是我们能成功的原因。根据前句“We put trash sorting into practice.”（我们将垃圾分类付诸实践。）可知这就是我们为什么能成功，why意为“为什么”。故填why。

Have you ever seen a bee fly busily Do you think the bee is just flying around Actually, the bee is hard at work.
Bees spend a lot of time looking for food. But not all the bees in the hive(蜂巢) have this work. Bees can be divided into three kinds—a queen bee, drones(雄蜂), and worker bees. The queen bee is very important. She is the mother of all the bees that live in the hive. Worker bees do all the other work in the hive. Besides looking for food, they make and clean the hive. They also take care of the queen and protect her.
Bees make dance-like movements inside the hive to send messages about food. They use different movements to give different kinds of information. They tell where food can be found and how far away it is from the hive. Bees can even share how much food there is and how good it is.
And surprisingly, a new research has found that a group of bees could generate an amazing amount of electricity by beating their wings more than 200 times per second. And the amount of electricity could reach 100 to 1,000 V(伏). That’s eight times greater than the electricity a storm cloud can produce.
Scientists found that the denser(密集的) the cloud of bees is, the bigger the electrical field is. Based on these findings, the team recorded that bees—which group in huge, dense clouds—could have an influence similar to that of a storm. Further research is needed to find out how electricity influences the bees and their environment.

They really look just like their names!” What does this mean exactly Scientists are suggesting that humans like to connect people’s names with their appearances, and can even guess someone’s name according to how they look.
Researchers at Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They marked each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers（志愿者）to guess which of the four names was correct. They were able to guess the right name 38% of the time. It seems that humans are able to know certain characteristics（特点）of faces that can give them something about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.
However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. Besides, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames（昵称）more often than their real names. This shows that a person’s appearance is influenced by their name only if they use it often.
“This kind of face—name matching happens because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy（自我实现预言）, as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert.
Studies have shown that gender and race stereotypes（性别和种族刻板印象）can influence a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people usually think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate（娇弱的）and female, just like the flower they are named for.
56．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．It’s not polite to ask strangers about their names.
B．There are several ways to guess a stranger’s name.
C．A person’s appearance can be influenced in three ways.
D．People can guess others’ names according to their appearances.
57．What can we know from this research
A．Nicknames have a bigger influence on people s appearances.
B．Gender and race have no influence on a person’s appearance.
C．The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten.
D．People are good at guessing the different characteristics of faces.
58．Why does Dr. Ruth thinks some people look like their names
A．racial stereotypes B．their living environment
C．their special culture D．a self-fulfilling prophecy
59．According to the passage, men named Bob are expected to _______.
A．have big eyes B．look strong
C．have round faces D．wear glasses
60．How is this passage developed
A．By doing a test. B．By giving examples.
C．By asking questions. D．By comparing different ways.

It’s not unusual for us to change friends, change schools or change the way we dress as we’re growing up. 61 That’s the life of Meilin Lee, the perfectly imperfect main character of Disney-Pixar’s new film Turning Red.
62 Set in Toronto, Canada in the year 2002, Meilin is a confident 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian girl who is going through puberty(青春) troubles. However, one morning, after a frightening dream, she discovers that she has turned into a giant red panda, later learning that her ancestors have a shared history with the species. Whenever she gets too excited or stressed, she turns into the red panda.
Actress Rosalie Chiang, 16, lends her voice to Meilin. “ 63 The panda represents her insecurity(不安全感) and fear,” Rosalie says. “The movie gives a new view on Asian family life.” Rosalie says Asians in films before have often been shown as examples of success. 64 Turning Red is hoped to have a good influence on other movies focusing on Asian characters.
Accept your insecurities. For Rosalie, that’s the message to take away from Meilin’s adventures. “All these insecurities and these differences are what make people who they are,” Rosalie adds. “ 65 ”
Turning Red was released on March 11, 2022.
A．But what about changing into a giant red panda
B．The film tells a coming-of-age story like no other.
C．This movie presents Meilin as an imperfect person.
D．But do you know the film which is about changing colors
E．Find out who you are, not what other people want you to be.
F．This movie can put pressure on local audiences to live up to high expectations.

Dear Danny,
I’m glad to hear you will visit Henan this summer vacation. It’s indeed a great place to explore the roots of Chinese civilization. I highly recommend you visit the city of Luoyang.
Luoyang is famous for its historical and cultural sites. One must-visit attraction is the Longmen Grottoes, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. When it comes to food, Luoyang offers a wide variety of delicious dishes. Don’t miss out on the famous Luoyang Water Banquet, which consists of 24 courses of various dishes cooked in different ways using water. Besides, Luoyang is known for its traditional peony culture. The city holds an annual Peony Festival, where you can admire the beautiful peony flowers in full bloom. Lastly, Luoyang has a rich history. It was once the capital of multiple dynasties, including the Eastern Zhou and Tang Dynasty.
I hope this recommendation helps you have a fantastic vacation in Henan. Enjoy your trip!
