7、g experience of working with animals.CApplying for the program in advance.DBeing at least 18 years old.My philosophy professor was a typical eccentric philosopher, whose behavior was somewhat strange. His disheveled (蓬乱的) appearance was highlighted by a well-worn tweed (粗花呢) sport coat and poor-fitt
8、ing thick glasses, which often rested on the tip of his nose. Every now and then, as most philosophy professors do, he would go off on one of those existential “whats the meaning of life” discussions. Many of those discussions went nowhere, but there were a few that really hit home. This was one of
9、them:“Respond to the following questions by a show of hands, ” my professor instructed.“How many of you can tell me something about your parents?” Everyones hand went up.“How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents?” About three-fourths of the class raised their hands.“How many of
10、you can tell me something about your great-grandparents?” Two out of sixty students raised their hands.“Look around the room, ” he said. “In just two short generations hardly any of us even know who our own great-grandparents were. Oh sure, maybe we have an old photograph tucked (收藏) away in a musty
11、 cigar box or know the classic family story about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot. But how many of us really know who they were, what they thought, what they were proud of, what they were afraid of, or what they dreamed about? Think about that. Within three generations our ances
12、tors are all but forgotten. Will this happen to you?”“Heres a better question. Look ahead three generations. You are long gone. Instead of you sitting in this room, now its your great-grandchildren. What will they have to say about you? Will they know about you? Or will you be forgotten, too?”“Is yo
13、ur life going to be a warning or an example? What legacy will you leave? The choice is yours. Class dismissed.”Nobody rose from their seats for a good five minutes.4Which of the following can best describe the professor?AUntidy but considerate.BOdd but thoughtful.CFashionable and helpful.DNeat and r

16、memorable ancestors.DA gap among three generations.Few would have expected that viewers at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics would include animals. And yet, coverage of the event featured several sightings of wildlife, particularly leopard cats apparently seeking to get in on the action.On Jan 31, on
17、 the alpine ski slopes (高山滑雪坡) in Yanqing district, 90 kilometers northwest of Beijing, a leopard cat was spotted wandering through an award-ceremony rehearsal. The event caught the attention of volunteers and staff, with many snapping photos. Three days later, a Chinese photographer captured anothe
18、r leopard cat in the woods near the Olympic ski slopes. The creature ran past him, jumped over a fence and looked back.Leopard cats are wild felids, slightly larger than house cats, and they mostly keep clear of human activity. However, according to Luo Shujin, a passionate skier and a conservation
19、biologist at Peking University, the frequent appearance of the animals close to the ski runs indicates that the species has persisted in this human-dominated landscape, which is relatively close to Beijing, Strangely, their calm manner suggests they are not frightened by human activity.In the absenc
20、e of any research data, it is too early to draw any conclusions that the creation of the Olympic skiing venue has not affected the surrounding forests and wildlife. However, its possible that the wild cats have to some extent already adapted to coexistence with humans, likely because people at the v
21、enue have not shown an aggressive attitude toward the animals since its construction.According to Luo, wild cats are rarely seen so close to big cities, especially metropolitan cities. “I think this is a little-known side of Beijing, ”says Luo, who is proud that such wildlife can be found so close t
22、o the capital city. “Such an event causes me to hope that we can try our best to ensure continued coexistence between wilderness and human settlements. ”8Which of the following best describes the presence of leopard cats around the venue?AEmbarrassing.BCommon.CAlarming.DUnexpected.9What is the natur
23、al characteristic of a leopard cat?AFriendly to humans.BSensitive to camera light.CEnthusiastic about sports.DAfraid of human activity.10Which of the following may Professor Luo agree with?AWildlife should not be disturbed by humans.BWildlife need to be kept away from big cities.CHumans should live
24、in harmony with wildlife.DHumans need to adapt to the lifestyles of wildlife.11What is the text type of the passage?AA news report.BA sport review.CAn official announcement.DAn animal encyclopedia.The term “social distancing” has been at the center of public conversation for a while. But its not “so
25、cial” distance we are trying to promote. Its physical separation. In fact, preserving social ties even at a distance is essential for both mental and physical health. The results of an analytic review done in 2017 indicate that a lack of social support is on a par with smoking cigarettes as a risk f
26、actor for health.Given this fact, how might we best stay connected to others while maintaining physical distance? Would we be better off e-mailing a friend? Making a phone call? Setting up a video chat? In our study, Nick Epley and I tested whether the media through which people interact affects the
27、ir sense of connection and how expectations about certain technologies impact the communication media they choose to use.In our experiment, we asked participants to reconnect with someone that they hadnt interacted with recently, either through e-mail or over the phone. Participants first made predi
28、ctions about what it would be like to get in touch if they reached out in these two ways. They generally believed that theyd feel more connected when interacting via the phone than over e-mail. But they also predicted that talking on the phone could be more uncomfortable than sending an e-mail. Alth
29、ough these participants believed that talking encouraged stronger bonds, most of them said theyd rather send an e-mail than call the person up. Fears about awkwardness, it seems, push individuals toward text-based methods for communicating.In the next part of the experiment, we had participants actu
30、ally reconnect using one randomly determined mode of communication and then followed up with them after they had done so. We found that people do form meaningfully stronger bonds when interacting over the phone than over e-mail. Importantly, though, there was no difference in the amount of discomfor
31、t when reconnecting on the phone.The next time you think about how best to connect, consider calling or setting up a video chat. Feelings of social connection are preferably facilitated by voice rather than a keyboard.12How does the author support his view on the importance of maintaining social tie
32、s?ABy stating a deep-rooted tradition.BBy citing a published report.CBy sharing public opinions.DBy presenting official documents.13What did the author and Epleys study focus on?AHow technologies impact means of communication.BHow social media choices affect feelings of connection.CWhy maintaining s
33、ocial separation is bad for mental health.DWhy reconnecting with friends over the phone brings awkwardness.14What can we infer from the study results?AThey changed the research objectives.BThey provided insights for future studies.CThey confirmed researchers expectations.DThey contradicted participa
34、nts predictions partly.15What can be concluded from the text?AFor stronger bonds, talk instead of typing.BKeeping in touch is key to a lasting friendship.CThink before you consider contacting an old friend.DText-based methods for communication cause discomfort.二、七选五True beauty is not found in looks.
35、 _16_ Changing the way you think about beauty will give you life-long confidence.Place your beauty in your identity but not your identity in your beauty. If you hold onto youthful beauty as a narrow definition of yourself, you wont enjoy your looks as you age. _17_ Mirrors tell us only a part of wha
36、t we show to the outer world. Go past your reflection and see the real self!The fountain of youth doesnt exist. Despite many anti-aging products, there is no magic solution to stopping the effects of aging. You should stop devaluing (贬低) yourself just because you are getting older. Aim for a healthy
37、 life and keep yourself strong and fit. Eat healthy diet and be committed to a daily exercise routine. Lots of efforts are needed. _18_Beauty relates to physical and psychological aspects. _19_ However, Serena Williams never hides her unusual muscular physique. Instead, her showing her muscles enhan
38、ces her appeal. Many fans think she is beautiful. This proves that looking beautiful and attractive goes beyond our looks. _20_ Beauty matters to all women, but to those who age beautifully, it matters neither too much nor too little.

39、 yourself. It is also about feeling good about yourself.AEveryone does it.BIt comes from the inside.CGo beyond your mirror image.DYou will feel better over a long term.EIts human nature to believe beauty is everything.FPeople generally think beauty is only a skin-deep issue.GBe less scared of aging
40、and you will look more beautiful.三、完形填空In order to control kitchen waste, I started composting (制作堆肥).
