These tips can help make the season merry and bright for everyone. Whats Different This Year Hot Ticket Items May Be Extra Hot: Some companies have scaled back their holiday ordering this year to trim inventory, so popular products might sell out fast in stores and online. So if you see a good price for an item on your list, be sure to grab it. And plan to ship gifts at least two weeks before Christmas Eve. Online Sales Will Start Early This year, it maybe more like Cyber Season, with online promotions and sales starting right after Halloween. With concerns about crowds, retailers will likely save a lot of their inventory for online sales. To avoid parking lot chaos, try to pick up your purchases first thing in the morning or later in the evening, when wait times should be shorter. Outlets Are Online Too If one of your holiday shopping traditions is a trip to the outlets, you can still experience the thrill of the bargain huntfrom home. S is the virtual version of the countrys largest outlet company. In someways, its even better than an in-person trip because you can shop by item or category and immediately see what different retailers have in stock, rather than going store to store . When to Shop Not on Thanksgiving: Many stores that opened their doors on the holiday last year have announced that they will be closed this year. One upside for shoppers is rock-bottom prices as some stores liquidate (清仓). The downsides: They might not be around if you need to return something or use a gift card. In other words: Bankruptcy buyers beware. 21. Which is the best time to send gifts? A. October 30. B. December 9. C. December 15. D. December 24. 22. What can we learn about holiday shopping this year? A. Shoppers can only buy items online. B. Shopping on Thanksgiving is the best choice. C. Popular products might sell out fast only in stores. D. Shoppers may see a good price for an item right after Halloween. 23. Who will be most interested in this passage? A. People who are money-less. B. People who like shopping at home. C. People who are retailers. D. People who are fond of bargains. B During the first half of the year 2020, Australia experienced an extreme drought followed by disastrous bushfires and heavy rainfall that brought massive flooding. Next came the pandemic（流行病）. With people not coming in to the lab or staying only long enough to conduct their experiments, we lost our sense of interpersonal connection. Then, in July, our director shared that she had been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer. In the wake of that shocking announcement, one of the centers group leaders suggested we send our director weekly good news to keep her informed and to try to lift her spirits. One week later, we sent the first email. The effect of this simple newsletter which went to our director and all the group members as well as leaders was significant. “I love good news time,” a colleague wrote, “It really is uplifting.” These days, we solicit good news every Wednesday and send out an email every Friday. The process and format are simple and no-frills, making the newsletter sustainable. Good news includes securing grants and fellowships, much- needed new computers arriving, a student submitting their thesis, publishing papers, becoming parents, turning 40, and of course growing roses on ones balcony. Last month, one group leaders good news was that, after breaking his arm, he finally had his cast（石膏） removed. The next week, he reported that his daughter broke her arm, saying that the number of broken bones in his family is a conserved quantity. It wasnt exactly good news, but it did make me laugh quietly. Equally important, sharing it helps us stay connected in these difficult times. Regardless of what the future holds, we plan to continue to share our good news. 24. In which respect do the author and his members benefit from the news in the text? A. Improving working efficiency.B. Creating a competitive atmosphere. C. Strengthening each others bond. D. Being reminded of positive things. 25. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1? A. To lay the foundation for academic research. B. To describe how unlucky they were in 2020. C. To provide background for sharing good news. D. To stress the necessity of cheering up the unfortunate. 26. How can we find the news listed in paragraph 4? A. No good news is too small to share.B. Good news helps sweep away tragedies. C. News making you laugh is good news.D. Never ignore the positive side in bad news. 27. Which word can best describe the the group leader mentioned in paragraph5? A. Humorous.B. Easy-going.C. Sympathetic. D. Open-minded. C Every woman dreams of receiving a huge, sparkling and priceless diamond. Now scientists have discovered the largest diamond in the universe. But its well beyond the reach of the most lovestruck men 50 light years to be precise. Space scientists revealed that they had discovered a ten billion trillion trillion carat gem. Measuring 2,500 miles across and weighing five million trillion trillion pounds, the rock was found on Valentines Day buried in the core of a white dwarf star (白矮星）in the constellation Centaurus（人马座）. “Its the mother of all diamonds,” said Travis Metcalfe, who led the team of researchers at the Harvard- Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in America. “You would need a jewellers loupe (放大镜) the size of the Sun to grade this diamond.” Named Lucy, after the Beatles song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the rock has sent a ripple of excitement through the scientific world. The largest diamond found on earth was the 3,106-carat (克拉) Cullinan. It was cut into nine major stones, including the 530-carat Star of Africa, now a part of the Crown Jewels. Diamonds were first discovered in India more than 2,800 years ago. The Ancient Romans believed that the stones were splinters of stars that had tumbled to earth. In Ancient Egypt, diamonds were symbols of eternity and were used in funeral rites. In the Middle Ages, men wore them to symbolize their courage and virility. The tradition of giving them as love tokens dates from 1477, when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy. 28.

C. an official document. D. a magazine. D Ever wonder how your brain works when making decisions bigger than medium versus (与.相对）spicy salsa, like buying a car or accepting a job offer? Researchers from the University of Dundee in Scotland conducted a study that clarifies why you may want to have a small bite before making that big decision. Benjamin Vincent from the University of Dundees Psychology department and his co-author Jordan Skyrnka tested 50 people two times: once when they followed their normal eating patterns and once when they did not eat anything during the day. Using three different types of rewards (food, money, and song downloads), the team discovered when presented with the choice of receiving the reward now versus double the award at some point in the future, participants would usually volunteer to wait for 35 days to earn a larger bounty, but when they were hungry, they said they would only wait three days. “We wanted to know whether being in a state of hunger had a specific effect on how you make decisions only relating to food or if it had broader effects, and this research suggests decision-making gets more present-focused when people are hungry,” Vincent said in a story about the study on the universitys website. “You would predict that hunger would impact peoples preferences relating to food, but it is not yet clear why people get more present-focused for completely unrelated rewardsHunger is so common that it is important to understand the non-obvious ways in which our preferences and decisions may be affected by it,” he said. In an earlier study of the subject by a team at Cambridge University in England, the researchers noted that serotonin (血清素) plays a major role in the decision-making process. “Since the raw material for making serotonin an amino acid called tryptophan（色氨酸） only comes from diet, levels of the chemical decline between meals,” reports a piece in the Telegraph about the study. “This can lead to aggressiveness and impulsiveness,” say the team. 32. How did Benjamin Vincent and Jordan Skyrnka carry out their research? A. By analyzing reasons.B. By making comparison. C. By giving examples.D. By filling questionnaires. 33. The underlined word “bounty” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by _____. A. bonus.B. quantity.C. income.D. fortune. 34. What conclusion can we draw from Vincent study? A. Its common to make a wrong decision if you are hungry. B. Make sure you are not hungry before making a big decision. C. The more hungry you are, the quicker you will make a decision. D. Being hungry drives you to make a decision connected with food. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. What should be eaten to make a wise man. B. How can we get enough serotonin from our diet. C. What other factors will influence ones decision-making. D. How does a chemical function in the course of making a decision. 第二节第二节 （共（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 分，满分分，满分 10 分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Bake Absolutely Anything If youve never baked before, this guide will explain the basic foundations of baking, offer tips for baking specific food groups, and suggest a few recipes to get you started baking. 36 Read the whole recipe before you start. Weve all gotten half-way through a recipe only to find we dont have any buttermilk. Plus, a quick read can help you prepare for whats ahead, particularly if there are any techniques with which youre not familiar. Use butter at the right temperature. 37 It is the right consistency（粘稠度）for creaming with sugar. Biscuit and pie pastry recipes call for ice- cold butter in order to create the flakiest layers. If your butter isnt the correct temperature, your bakes wont mix up the way they should. 38 When it comes to baking, its always preferable to measure your ingredients by weight rather than volume. This ensures you get exactly the right proportions. It may not be critical for something simple like a pan of cake, but its important with picky baked items, such as macarons. Freeze cookie dough(面团面团). We know how tempting it is to get your cookies in the oven the second youre done mixing up your dough. 39 And it prevents cookies from spreading too much. Do not skip this step! Cool cakes completely before frosting. Always let your cakes, cupcakes, and cookies cool completely before frosting them. If they are too warm, the frosting will slide right off the top of your cake or melt and dip in. 40 If you dont have one, take the cover off your ironing board and use the board as a cooling shelf. A. Use the right butter. B. Weigh all your ingredients. C. If they are cool, it will be great. D. Cooling shelves speed up the process. E. Most cake and cookie recipes call for softened butte
