9、st.第二部分阅读理解(共两节，共34分)第一节(共12小题;每小题2分，共24分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AIm a talker. Im into debating, gossiping and teasing. I solve problems by talking them through. This works perfectly well when I have people to talk to. Under lockdown, however, Ive only had my partner, Peter.
10、We not only lived, worked and traveled together, we socialized together, too. Under the first UK lockdown, our constant closeness began to feel uncomfortable.For the first time in our 10 years together, we needed to be alone. I tried to manufacture this by going on walks on my own, but a short walk
11、in the local park wasnt doing the job. I considered my options and hit upon an idea: the semi-solo hike. Could we do a circular hike but walk in different directions? This would give us the space and peace of a solo hike. It felt like a promising compromise, so I told him about it. He thought it was
12、 thoroughly silly but agreed to give it a try.We started with a four-mile loop(环形)from Reeth. At the start, we parted ways. At first, I was aware of how close we were, which lessened the appeal. Walking alone offers freedom and alone time, but here I was with my boyfriend nearby. As I gained ground,
13、 however, I found myself very much alone. I set my own pace, and I decided to take my time.I sat on a rock and breathed out. That moment-with the weak sun through the clouds and the breeze blowing across makeshift(临时的)pools-felt extraordinary to me. I was born and raised in London and had never imag
14、ined leaving until I met an outdoorsman(野外活动爱好者). Now, my former life as a city girl felt crazy. Realizing what I had gained, I felt the tension leave me. There, in the chilly air, I no longer needed to talk. The semi-solo hike gave us a shared experience with added room to breathe. I didnt see Pete
15、r en route(在途中)but reunited back where we started, both of us sheepish(难为情的)but pleased. The semi-solo hike is admittedly silly in theory, but for me it has been a lifeline. It has given me the gift of time alone and, in a year of constant closeness, the joy of reuniting.1. Why did the author decide
16、 to do a semi-solo hike?A. To get rid of the lockdown.B. To find some individual space.C. To meet more people to socialize.D. To seek the pleasure of reuniting2. How did the author feel at the beginning of the hike?A. Curious.B. Thrilled.C. Unsatisfied.D. Relaxed.3. What can be inferred from the las
17、t paragraph?A. Interest is the best teacher.B. Exercise helps increase confidence.C. Living in the city limits our imagination.D. An appropriate distance creates happiness.4. What is the best title for the text?A. Hiking togetherB. Spending time apartC. Taking exercise aloneD. Reuniting with my part
18、nerBJeremy from America cannot understand why a lady he met outside the Hyde Park in London said, “Ooh, isnt it cold?”, and he thinks of this behaviour as a distinctively English concern about the weather. In fact, the female was just trying to strike up a conversation with Jeremy. Not necessarily a
19、 long conversation just an exchange of greetings. It is not always quite that obvious, but all English weather conversations have a distinctive structure conducted according to unwritten but accepted rules.The unpredictable nature of our weather ensures that there is always something new to comment
20、on, or perhaps most importantly, agree about. We have already established that weather-speak greetings like “Cold, isnt it?” require the response expressing agreement, as in “Yes, isnt it?” .It would be very rude to respond with “No, actually its quite mild.” or “Its pretty hot to me.” If you delibe
21、rately break the rule, you will find that the atmosphere becomes rather tense and awkward. There may be an uncomfortable silence. Most likely, they will either change the subject or continue talking about the weather among themselves politely, if coldly, ignoring your faux pas.There is, however, one
22、 situation in which English weather-speakers are not required to observe the agreement rule at all and that is the male-bonding argument, particularly the pub-argument. In the special environment of the pub, constant disagreement not just on the weather, but on everything else as well is a means of
23、expressing friendship.While we may spend much of our time complaining about our weather, foreigners are not allowed to criticize it. Indeed, this brings us to the weather as family rule. In this respect, we treat the English weather like a member of our family: one can complain about the behavior of
24、 ones own children or parents, but any blame from an outsider is unacceptable. The weather may be one of the few things about which the English are still unconsciously and unashamedly patriotic （爱国的）.5. Why did the lady comment on the weather to Jeremy?A. To build up friendship.B. To begin a casual
25、chat.C. To send seasonal greetings.D. To express dissatisfaction.6. What does the underlined phrase “faux pas” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Improper response.B. Careless attitude.C. Rude interruption.D. Frequent complaint.7. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Male bonding in pubs.B. Argument abo
26、ut weather.C. Exception to the agreement rule.D. Making friends by disagreement.8. What is the best title for this text?A. Politeness Tips for ForeignersB. Accepted Rules in Social LifeC. English Politeness in Weather ConversationD. Hidden Rules of English Weather ConversationCLast year scientists r
27、eported using a neural implant (神经植入物) in a mans brain to restore his ability to communicate. The man has been partially paralyzed and unable to produce comprehensible speech since suffering a severe stroke. It is the latest advance in the exploding field of brain-computer interfaces (接口), or BCIs,
28、which allow computers to read information out of a living brain.Brain-computer interfaces are possible because of two facts. The first is that your brain contains hundreds of tiny maps. Each represents specific features of your physical feelings and intended actions. And crucially, the basic set of
29、brain maps and their locations within the brain are very similar across individuals.Thanks to their specialized functions and universal locations, brain maps are ideal entry points for BCI technologies. Picking up signals from a brain map is only the first step in making a useful BCI. Although the l
30、ocation of a brain map is the same across individuals, the details what patterns of activity within the map mean differ from person to person. In a sense, the unique features of your specific brain maps serve as a kind of encryption (加密), safeguarding your specific thoughts and feelings from would-b
31、e spies.That brings us to the second fact that makes BCIs possible. Thanks to advances in machine learning, scientists have developed programs that can learn to recognize key patterns in a vast sea of numbers. They train these programs to decode (解码) brain signals by feeding them tons of examples. R
32、esearchers developing BCIs often create such examples by instructing an individual to think specific thoughts at specific times, creating a neural curriculum for the program to learn from.While the universal features and locations of brain maps make them obvious entrances for BCIs, the unique featur
33、es of your brain maps tend to protect them from spying eyes. In cases where BCIs have successfully read specific thoughts or intentions from a brain, it has been with the permission of the individual whose brain was being read. But there are surreptitious ways to train decoders on your brain without
34、 your knowledge. This can happen if your neural data falls into the hands of companies with detailed information about your activities.Like all technologies, brain-computer interfaces are not necessarily good or bad. Yet while harvesting the benefits of BCIs, we need to ensure that we have the means
35、 to protect ourselves from corporations with every motive to take advantage of this technology for their financial gain.9. What can we learn about brain maps?A. They carry unique messages.B. They can process encrypted signals.C. Their functions vary from person to person.DTheir locations reveal huma
36、n thinking patterns.10. What can we infer from the passage?A. BCIs can boost brain signals dramatically.B. BCIs could help recover from brain injuries.C. Machine learning enables BCIs to read mind.D. The decoding of brain may be affected by BCIs.11. What does the underlined word “surreptitious” in P
37、aragraph 5 probably mean?A. Secure.B. Stable.C. Standard.D. Secret.12. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The future trend of BCIs.B. The potential risks of BCIs.C. The working principle of BCIs.D. The general applications of BCIs.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10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。
38、Poetry has healing powers. To get more joy and peace, we dont have to be a professional poet but we can develop a poetic mindset (心态). _13_Be in awe(敬畏)of everything.The poetic mindset starts with the idea that nothing is an accident. Everything is interrelated and plays a part in a greater whole. _
39、14_ Close your eyes. Now open them. What is the first thing you see? Look closer. Ask yourself: What does it look like? What does it remind you of? Does it bring happy thoughts or sad ones? Why? I bet your randomly selected object is full of meaning._15_A poem is a place where you can pour out your
40、hard feelings. Dont be afraid. You can always throw the page into the fireplace once youve filled it. _16_ Poetry can be a storeroom for everything difficult in your life. But theres more, I find when I write about something Im struggling with, my negative feeling begins to become weaker.Seek what i
41、nspires youLife isnt perfect, but you can live with love and trust anyway. _17_ There is always goodness to be found once you train yourself to look for it. Poetry to me is a form of praise. I build poems from things I see, people I meet and thoughts and feelings found deep inside. As I present thos
42、e treasures in poetic language, I am appreciating what is good in them.A. Your pain is your teacher.B. How can we manage it in an easy way?C. What are the steps of writing a good poem?D. Or seal it in an envelope and come back to it later.E. Poetry helps us remember this important place of wisdom.F.
43、 Therefore, everything deserves notice and even appreciation.G. Writing a poem is about describing your inner world vividly.第三部分完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，共15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I was taking a nap when a loud noise woke me. Outside the window in a parking lot, a car had
44、 just _18_ into a chain-link fence. The fence bent out in exactly the _19_ of the cars back end. A short man wearing a shirt unbuttoned to _20_ his chest got out of the car, with a shaven head. I disliked him on sight. After a few seconds of _21_ the damage, the man tried to repair that. He first at
45、tempted to pull the _22_ fence back into place, but it wouldnt move. I took a drink from the glass, silently cheering. Then he pulled against the fences support pole, which bent _23_ and was more likely to recover. But the pole suddenly broke. I laughed out loud this time. This was _24_. He went bac
46、k to his car. He must be going to leave all the chaos behind for someone else to tidy up. That, I thought, would be the _25_. But he reappeared a few minutes later with some _26_ and got to work using them. He fixed the fence, and even _27_ it using a support bar bought from a nearby grocery. Now it
47、 would be extra _28_, stronger than before. This man was actually a _29_ for me, and I was the lazy one. My shallow assumptions were all about myself. I wouldnt fix that fence and would _30_. Years later, I still look out of my window at that _31_. It still looks new. And it makes me _32_ what else
