【原文】
When I was in college, I spent a term studying in London. Even though we speak the same language, English people and Americans are very different. They think that we Americans are loud and that we speak our minds too much. So I tried to listen a bit more and not be so self-centered. I love the lifestyle there. Going out for afternoon tea was fun, and I always did that with my friends. And I really loved the old buildings. We don't have anything that old in the United States, so it was pretty amazing! By the way, I also went to Australia once. The buildings there weren't so attractive either. The British also have a different sense of humor. Their comedy shows on TV are really funny. I'd like to say my experience was a positive one. In fact, I'm saving up money so I can go back there again.

When Amanda Lemay heard the story about a baker and her husband who were traveling around the United States in a van (厢式货车), learning from expert bakers, she wanted to do something similar. So she got rid of most of her possessions and made an old ambulance with her dad into a lovely home on wheels.
Lemay’s ambulance is actually a former emergency response vehicle for the US Navy, built on a 2006 Ford E350 Cutaway. Renovations (改装) were done by her and her dad. Now the dark blue vehicle has a lot of built-in cabinets on all sides, offering a lot of storage space, while the rooftop has 400-watts of solar power panels and a small roof deck where Lemay practices Yoga. The inside is tastefully done to suit Lemay’s work and hobbies.
As Lemay mentions, not only did her father help, but also the rest of her family. Lemay’s mother helped sew the decorations on the removable cushions, and her sister crafted the leather pulls. It was truly a family affair.
Her current nomadic (流浪式的) lifestyle fits well with her work doing audiobooks, voiceovers ,and publishing work. In the end, this unexpected path has Lemay rethinking what it means to be truly sustainable, now that van life has gotten her to become minutely aware of the water, electricity, and other daily resources that she uses. But all these day-to-day concerns are balanced with a greater sense of freedom.
“It’s almost mind-blowing, it feels like a completely different life because I’m doing the work online, and I can do things on my own schedule. Most of my days are mine— so by living in the van, I can be where I want to be, and do the things I want to do, and spend time outside.”

B. To make the best of what she has.
C. To keep a balance between work and life.
D. To be aware of the real meaning of family.
27. What does Lemay like about living in a van?

Researchers say a new electrical device placed in three paralyzed patients has helped them walk again. The lower bodies of the three patients were left paralyzed after they suffered spinal(脊柱的) cord injuries. But a device implanted in the spinal cord was able to send electrical signals to the muscles to permit them to stand, walk and exercise.
Scientists have discovered that neurons- -which receive and send signals for muscle movements-- often still work in injured patients with serious spinal cord injuries. However, past research into spinal cord injuries has centered on the stimulation of neurons. Now in the latest experiment led by Gregoire Courtine and Jocelyne Bloch of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, three paralyzed men were implanted a new electrical device designed to copy an action of the brain, in which it sends signals to the spinal cord that result in muscle movement. When the spinal cord receives the brain signals, it stimulates a collection of nerve cells that can activate different muscles.
The researchers reported that all three patients who got the spinal cord implants were able to take their first steps within an hour after receiving them. Over the next six months, the patients regained the ability to take part in more advanced walking activities, the study found. They were also able to ride bicycles and swim in community settings.
Unlike other attempts to help paralyzed patients walk by stimulating nerves through the back of the spine, Courtine said that his team redesigned the devices so signals would enter the spine from the sides. This method permits more direct targeting and activation of spinal cord areas, he said.
The team then developed artificial intelligence (AI) systems linked to the device. The AI controls electrodes on the device to send signals to stimulate individual nerves that control muscles needed for walking and other activities. However, because the patients' muscles were weak from not being used, they needed help with supporting their weight, the researchers said. It also took some time for them to learn to work with the technology. Still, Bloch said, “The more they train, the more they start lifting their muscles, the more fluid it becomes.”
32. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Courtine and Bloch have found that neurons in paralyzed patients still work.
B. The new electrical device can imitate the brain to send signals to the spinal cord.
C. Three paralyzed men recovered with the help of a new electrical device.
D. Stimulating the neurons is the focus of the latest research into spinal .cord injuries.
33. How does the new device stimulate the spinal cord areas more directly?
A. By stimulating nerves through the back of the spine.
B. By using the AI system.
C. By making signals enter the spine from the sides.
D. By sending the signals to the brain.
34. Which can best describe Bloch's idea in the last paragraph?
A. Every garden has its weeds.
B. Put the cart(运货马车) before the horse.
C. It's hard to please all.
D. Practice makes perfect.
35. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To report the consequence of spinal cord injuries.
B. To introduce the findings of a recent research.
C. To compare a recent research with other previous researches.
D. To recommend a treatment for paralyzed patients.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B
32. B。推理判断题。从第二段中的“three paralyzed men were implanted a new electrical device designed to copy an action of the brain'这句话可以得出答案。
33. C。细节理解题。从第四段中的“Courtine said that his team redesigned the devices so signals would enter the spine from the sides. ”这句话可以得出答案。
34. D。推理判断题。从最后一段中的“The more they train, the more they start lifting their muscles, the more fluid it becomes.”这句可以得出,越训练就越熟练,可以得出熟能生巧这个观点。谚语翻译如下: A.“Every garden has its weeds.”人无完人;B.“Put the cart before the horse.”本末倒置;C.“It's hard to please all. ”众口难调; D.“Practice makes perfect.”熟能生巧。
35.B。主旨大意题。这篇文章报道了最近一项研究所取得的成果,人造骨髓植入物有望使瘫痪者恢复行走。

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。
Do you have an important or favorite memory from the past? Perhaps it was clapping for goals, or seeing rainbow picture in the window. Shared memories can connect you to others. 36
How does memory work?
Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. One is short-term or working memory, which stays in our brain for only seconds. The other level is long-term or permanent memory, which can be stored for days, or even years.
Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike; factual memories help you to remember faces. 37 Emotional memories recall how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. Remembering the sadness of missing your friends during lockdown, and being happy and excited to see them again afterwards, are emotional memories. They are long term and can sometimes last a lifetime.
Why are memories important?
38 Information such as which school you go to and who your friends are is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it. Memories can also help you manage feelings. Heidi, 12, told The Week, "If I miss seeing my granny and granddad. I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy, like when I was there."
"When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with close others, such as friends or family, and talking with them," Erica Boothby, a social-psychologist, said. By telling a funny or embarrassing story we share feelings of joy or recognition of difficulties overcome. By sharing similar or not-so-similar experiences, we empathize (产生共鸣) with and understand one another better.
39
Kim Roberts, a professor who runs the Child Memory Lab in Canada, believes focusing on happy memories will help you feel more positive. 40 Roberts says it's also helpful to remember that if you missed out on your last term at school, or birthday celebrations, then your friends did too. One day you will look back on this year as an important memory that you all share.
A. When do memories fade?
B. Can memories help wellbeing?
C. Memories tell you the story of yourself.
D. Emotional memories are usually sad ones.
E. These types of memories can be short or long term.
F. If you have difficult memories, though, it is important to talk about them.
G. By sharing our memories, we can feel closer to other people and more positive.
【答案】36--40 GECBF
36.G 本文总一分结构,G项本文讨论的主题句,统领全文。
37. E前一句讨论motor skill 和factual memories这两种记忆,后一句继续讨论“emotional memories”及其strong and powerful的特征,形成记忆类别的对比。后者是长时记忆,那么前者或长长短,逻辑上吻合。
38. C选项中“the story of yourself"与下文“Information such as which school you go to and who your friends are is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it.”信息吻合。
39.B 下文中“help you feel more positive”及倾吐后的伤心记忆也将成为友人之间珍贵的财富,这些都是对wellbeing的详述,该选项内容和疑问句的形式均与下文信息匹配,属于本小节的小标题。
40. F 下一句“missed out on your last term at school, or birthday celebrations”均为difficult memories的举例。

Meanwhile, I was 47 to just remember everybody’s name.
One of my aunts looked at me with tearful eyes. She mentioned how 48 she was for my father to have a daughter, saying, “He’s always dreaming of having a daughter.” However, she then expressed her anger towards my father for keeping the family in the 49 about my existence. From this experience, I have learned more about what it means to be biracial(代表两种人种的). Can I still 50 myself Jamaican even though my first time trying curry goat, a traditional dish, was not until my teenage years?
I’ve become aware that no matter how much DNA you might 51 with a particular race, you won’t feel truly connected if you did not 52 with that culture’s customs. I believe this event has 53 me into becoming a more understanding person. I have realized that I am far from a 54 I am determined to prove that I’m here for a reason.

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。
I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands. I felt the string of the package softly and then, unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I tore it open. It was a bright, brand new laptop. I had scored straight as for my O level examination and this was my reward. I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about ‘chat rooms’, ‘instant messaging’ and ‘e-mailing’, all of which I knew nothing about. Now I was going to find out.
It started out simply enough. I was searching for some information online when I came across a social networking site. Soon I became attracted to my new-found electronic friend. I began to spend more and more time on YouTube and became addicted to Facebook and Twitter. I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be controlled entirely by the glowing screen before me. Whenever I was not glued to these social networking sites, I would be going through gossip or fashion websites.
As time passed I realized that I was addicted to the Internet. During weekends, when I had more time on my hands, I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop. It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room, refusing to come out and take part in family discussions. I preferred to stay connected to the people I made friends with on the Internet although I had never met them. Soon I was spending the whole hours of the morning surfing on the Internet. Sleep was reduced to small naps and my grades at school also began getting from bad to worse.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

It was about this time that my parents noticed my change.
Then one day, my father took away my laptop.
【参考答案】
It was about this time that my parents noticed my change. They voiced their disapproval. It became obvious to them that I was spending too much time on the Internet. I was asked to slow down my usage of the Internet. Yet, however hard I tried, I was unable to pull myself away, unable to end my chat sessions, and unable to concentrate on my lessons. I was desperate for just another click, just another look at my e-mail or message board.
Then one day, my father took away my laptop. I cried and objected but in vain. Dad had made up his mind. Over time, I realized that Dad and Mum had always wanted the best for me. That was when I decided to take the big step—to conquer my internet addiction. Quitting was harder than I had expected. But with dogged determination, I knew that I would be able to do it. I promised my parents that I would turn over a new leaf.
