一、完形填空
One person can change the world starting with a single blade of grass When Brian Schwartz decided he wanted to make a 1 in people’s lives, he set out by mowing lawns (修剪草坪) in New Jersey for free. Today, Schwartz runs the nonprofit organization I Want to Mow Your lawn, and is helping people in 27 states across the US.
When Schwartz lost his job at a digital advertising agency, he made up his mind to stay active and busy. He wanted to help those having a 2 time, and because of his warm affection for grandparents, he first chose to help 3 citizens. As lawn care can be tiring for the old, Schwartz’s idea was welcomed. Using his own lawnmower and minivan, Schwartz started with one 4 in the summer of 2020. This soon expanded to two, and then to ten. Within a month, Schwartz opened his non-profit organization and also started offering 5 to veterans, the disabled and single working moms.
One of his former co-workers posted what he did on the Internet. Schwartz explains on the website. “It just feels good to help out, to do something 6 that people need done and can’t quite do themselves, something straight-forward and clean-cut as newly mowed grass.” The Internet helped to increase 7 for the non-profit, and many people offered to help. In fact, the organization recently attracted 50 more 8 in just one week, including professional landscapers
This grassroots “mowment” has brought people together, 9 many others to be involved, and is continuing to grow. Schwartz, who is now fully employed again, is still 10 to do good and now has plans to offer a snow plow service in the winter.

It all started this morning just before noon, Mrs. White was returning from the supermarket with her daughter and a friend, their neighbor. They stopped on the stairway of their building at their fifth-floor apartment. The neighbor opened her door first, and little Lily ran past her. She knew the apartment well, since she had visited it many times. The friend put down her keys and shopping bags, and turned back a moment to Mrs. White.
At that moment, there was a sudden gust of wind and the door to the apartment was closed. Lily was inside, alone.
Then the friend remembered that she had left her kitchen window open. She and Mrs. White rushed to Mrs. White’s apartment and telephoned the police. But there was no time to get help in opening the neighboring apartment. They could see that Lily was already leaning out of the kitchen window. She had climbed onto a chair, and soon she was climbing out onto the window sill (窗台).
Mrs. White called to Lily to go back inside. But the little girl did not understand the danger and did not want to go back. She only waved to her mother,
Then she lost her balance and her feet slipped off the window sill. She managed to hold on for a while with her hands, but then she became weak and she began to be afraid. Her mother screamed for help, and now Lily was crying loudly.
And then she could hold on no longer, Fortunately, several people had run out into the street on hearing all the screaming. They saw the child hanging onto the window sill and got ready to catch her. Down she fell, five long stories and landed safe and sound in the arms of three strong men. They were Luis, Augusto, and Alfonso Nunes, father and sons, who live in the next building in her community. When they heard the screams, they rushed out of their home.
“I never thought we’d do it,” said Alfonso afterwards, “But I kept thinking: if we don’t catch her, she’ll die and I’ll feel sad and guilty all my life.”
Lily’s parents cannot believe how close they came to losing their daughter. And how lucky they are to live in such a good community.
29.Who saved Lily eventually

The complexities of human relations are difficult enough for adults to handle and they have at least some idea of the rules. Children have yet to learn those rules. Infants are, nevertheless, able quickly to identify close relationships between other people. How do they manage to do this In a paper just published in Science, Ashley Thomas of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology proposes a partial answer: saliva (唾液).
Two groups of children were recruited to test whether children interpret saliva sharing as indicating a “thick” relationship, one consisting of babies aged between eight and ten months, and the other comprising toddlers aged between 16 and 18 months. The tests were conducted over video link.
Each child was shown a clip (片段) of an adult interacting with a puppet (木偶), followed by a clip of that puppet in sadness while the same adult, and also a stranger looked on. When the interaction in the first clip appeared to involve the sharing of saliva with puppet and adult taking successive bites from an orange — both groups of children looked mainly at that same adult in the second clip, and not the stranger. This indicated their belief that the adult would offer comfort to the puppet. However, when the interaction in the first clip was friendly but less thick, such as passing a ball back and forth, the children had equal expectations of both adults when shown the second clip, Saliva sharing seems, then, indicative of closeness.
That conclusion was reinforced by subsequently replacing the puppet with a different one and repeating the second test. In this case the children showed no consistent expectation about which adult would intervene to relieve the puppet’s sadness. It thus seems to have been the act of sharing an orange with a specific puppet that generated an expectation of future behavior, rather than any inborn characteristics of the adults involved.
The research was conducted in the United States. It is hoped that future runs will reach beyond that country’s borders. The ethnographic (人种志的) literature suggests saliva sharing is a widespread phenomenon. But seeing how practice varies from place to place might reveal some fascinating details.
33.What is the purpose of studying saliva sharing in the research
A.To analyze its effects on adult-infant relationships.
B.To explore how children perceive relationship closeness.
C.To understand its significance in social interactions.
D.To demonstrate how the rules of human relations work.
34.What did the children expect when the first clip involved saliva sharing
A.The puppet would seek comfort from the adult.
B.The stranger would relieve the puppet’s sadness.
C.The same adult would show care to the puppet.
D.The puppet would interact more with the adult.
35.What does the underlined word “reinforced” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Strengthened. B.Changed. C.Affected. D.Challenged.
36.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.A major limitation of the study. B.An explanation of the research method.
C.A possible reason for the study findings. D.An expectation for future studies.
None of us like to think we’d walk on by when someone needed our help. But sometimes we behave in ways we wouldn’t expect when encountering a situation we are unsure about. Research from the British Heart Foundation has suggested that a third of people would not perform first aid if they saw someone collapse on the street, with some even admitting they wouldn’t call an ambulance. This can sometimes mean that no one helps when someone desperately needs it. However, a lot of tragic events urge us to take immediate action.
One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed (刺、捅) in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964. Follow-up investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene. This has been termed the “bystander effect”—a well-known psychological phenomenon that individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present. The more people there are, the less likely they are to help.
There are various factors contributing to this effect — people think that others will get involved or intervene. Afterwards people often say they did not feel qualified or senior or important enough to be the one to intervene. It is also partly down to “pluralistic ignorance” — since everyone is not reacting to the emergency, they don’t need to either; it’s not serious because no one else is doing anything.
Self-awareness is the best antidote to it. When encountering an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own. Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your instinct (直觉) —if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own then that’s probably the right course of action.
37.According to the first paragraph, what would some people do when someone needs help
A.To behave in proper ways. B.To rush to give a hand.
C.To give immediate first aid. D.To hesitate to intervene.
38.Which of the following statements about “bystander effect” is correct
A.It is a rare psychological phenomenon.
B.People are unwilling to help for lack of qualification.
C.Someone will step in when more people are gathering.
D.It results from “pluralistic ignorance” to some degree.
39.What does the underlined word “antidote” in the last paragraph mean
A.Devotion. B.Introduction. C.Solution. D.Resistance.
40.What is the best title for the text
A.Don’t Be a Bystander B.Stay away from Emergencies
C.Raise Awareness of First Aid D.Don’t Intervene in “Bystander Effect”
Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. 41 And this positive emotion can be good for our health — our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships.
Let’s start by looking at the mental health benefits of expressing gratitude. There have been many studies showing that writing a gratitude letter to another person improves mental health. One reason for this is that gratitude stops us from thinking about negative emotions over and over again. 42
But even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. 43 As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the posit ve, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive (直觉的). And so, the more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel.
44 There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced inflammation (炎症) in people who have had heart problems.
So gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives
The simple answer is yes. Gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. 45 And that’s on top of all the other ways — be it with family, partners, friends or even colleges. Maybe we should all stop counting sheep or counting calories and start counting our blessings instead.
A.And this gets better with time.
B.Gratitude appears to have a lasting effect.
C.Gratitude can also make us feel good in our bodies.
D.Feeling valued can help build stronger relationships.
E.People who regularly express gratitude are more patient.
F.It redirects our attention so that we focus on positive emotions.
G.It is a deeper appreciation for someone or something that makes us feel a positive emotion.
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Why Do We Get Our Best Ideas in the Shower
Creativity sometimes requires taking a step back. Activities like showering or walking can help. When you’re struggling with a problem that feels unsolvable and then somewhere between shampoo and conditioner, you find the answer in the shower. Doing something mindless like showering, we can find a creative solution. Researchers at the University of Virginia call it “the shower effect”.
They have found that mildly engaging tasks like showering or walking can boost the most creativity. Creative idea generation requires that one should strike a balance between focused thinking which limits originality and random associations which are often irrelevant to our creative problems.
People in the study weren’t actually showering. Instead, researchers tried to imitate (模仿) the engagement level of a shower or walking through videos that required a certain level of engagement. Participants either saw a video that was considered boring—two men folding laundry—or a video of the famous scene in a familiar movie. After that, participants had 45 seconds before researchers asked them to list creative uses for a brick or a paperclip.
This research highlights the importance of stepping away from a problem to solve it, says Alice Flaherty, at Harvard Medical School. She says her students could learn a thing or two from the research because time away from a task is what helps us focus afterwards. “Some of my graduate students are so dedicated that they won’t get up from their desks until they have a creative idea, which is counterproductive because they don’t ever let their brains step back and take a rest”.
But Flaherty also holds that researchers need to control physical arousal (唤起). “They say that when you’re out walking or showering it’s mildly engaging to the brain, but it might just be that it’s physically arousing,” she says. “An activity increases your heart rate, which might make you think you have the best idea. While showering might promote creativity, it might not be for the reasons they state.” But whatever the reason, Flaherty agrees that when you’re stuck and can’t seem to come up with a creative solution, stepping away to do something completely unrelated could get your juices flowing.
46.What is “the shower effect”
47.What does creative idea generation require
48.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, and then underline it and explain why.
Alice Flaherty holds that her dedicated graduate students need to sit in front of the desks all day to come up with a creative idea.
49.In addition to showering or walking, what other activities may help you find a creative solution in your daily life Why (In about 40 words)

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了名为Lily的女孩因为没有意识到危险,爬出了厨房的窗台,失去了平衡,脚从窗台上滑了下来,幸亏社区的三个邻居及时接住了她,Lily才得以获救的故事。
29.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“They saw the child hanging onto the window sill and got ready to catch her. Down she fell five long stories and landed safe and sound in the arms of three strong men. They were Luis, Augusto and Alfonso Nunes, father and sons, who live in the next building in her community.(他们看见那个孩子吊在窗台上,就准备去接她。她从五层楼高的地方摔了下来,安然无恙地落在三个壮汉的臂弯里。他们是路易斯、奥古斯托和阿方索·努内斯,这父子就住在她所在社区的隔壁)”可知,是社区里的邻居救了Lily。故选A。
30.细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中“She managed to hold on for a while with her hands, but then she became weak and she began to be afraid.(她设法用手坚持了一会儿,但随后她变得虚弱,开始害怕)”可知,Lily又害怕又虚弱,无法抓住窗台。故选B。
31.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中““I never thought we’d do it” said Alfonso afterwards. “But I kept thinking, if we don’t catch her, she’ll die and I’ll feel sad and guilty all my life.”(“我从没想过我们会这么做,”Alfonso后来说。“但我一直在想,如果我们抓不到她,她会死的,我这一生都会感到悲伤和内疚。”)”可知,Alfonso是个负责的人。故选C。
32.主旨大意题。根据文章主要讲述了名为Lily的女孩因为没有意识到危险,爬出了厨房的窗台,失去了平衡,脚从窗台上滑了下来,幸亏社区的三个邻居及时接住了她,Lily才得以获救的故事。可知,B选项“一次了不起的救援”最符合文章标题。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一项研究探讨了婴儿如何通过观察唾液分享来判断人际关系的亲近程度,揭示了儿童对关系亲密度的感知机制,并提出了对未来研究的展望。
33.细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Children have yet to learn those rules. Infants are, nevertheless, able quickly to identify close relationships between other people. How do they manage to do this In a paper just published in Science, Ashley Thomas of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology proposes a partial answer: saliva (唾液).( 孩子们尚未掌握这些规则。然而,婴儿却能够迅速辨别出他人之间的密切关系。他们是如何做到这一点的呢?在刚刚发表于《科学》杂志的一篇论文中,麻省理工学院的阿什利·托马斯提出了一个部分答案:唾液。)”可知,研究唾液分享的目的是探索婴儿如何感知人际关系中的亲近程度。选项B“To explore how children perceive relationship closeness.(探索儿童如何感知关系的亲近程度)”与原文意思一致。故选B。
34.细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“When the interaction in the first clip appeared to involve the sharing of saliva-with puppet and adult taking successive bites from an orange—both groups of children looked mainly at that same adult in the second clip, and not the stranger. This indicated their belief that the adult would offer comfort to the puppet.(在第一段视频中,互动内容似乎是唾液的传递——小木偶和成年人依次从一个橙子上咬下一口——在第二段视频中,两组儿童主要都看向了同一个成年人,而不是那个陌生人。)”以及“This indicated their belief that the adult would offer comfort to the puppet. (这表明他们相信,成年人会为这个木偶提供安慰。)”可知,当第一个片段涉及唾液分享时,儿童期望相同的成年人会安慰木偶。故选C。
35.词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“That conclusion was reinforced by subsequently replacing the puppet with a different one and repeating the second test.(这一结论得到了进一步的……,因为随后又换上了一个不同的木偶,并再次进行了第二次测试。)”以及后文的“In this case the children showed no consistent expectation about which adult would intervene to relieve the puppet’s sadness. It thus seems to have been the act of sharing an orange with a specific puppet that generated an expectation of future behavior, rather than any inborn characteristics of the adults involved.( 在这种情况下,孩子们对于哪位成年人会出来干预以缓解木偶的悲伤并没有形成一致的看法。因此,似乎正是与特定木偶分享橙子这一行为引发了对未来行为的预期,而非参与其中的成年人所具有的任何先天特质所致。)”可知,通过替换木偶并重复测试,孩子们依旧期待与特定木偶分享橙子成年人来安慰和缓解木偶的悲伤,即之前的结论得以加强。故划线词与选项A“Strengthened.(加强)”意思一致。故选A。
36.主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中的“It is hoped that future runs will reach beyond that country’s borders. The ethnographic (人种志的)literature suggests saliva sharing is a widespread phenomenon. But seeing how practice varies from place to place might reveal some fascinating details.(人们希望未来的研究能够拓展到该国以外的地区。人种志方面的文献表明,唾液交换是一种普遍存在的现象。但观察不同地方的实践差异或许能揭示一些有趣的内容。)”可知,最后一段主要讨论了对未来研究的期望。选项D“An expectation for future studies.(对未来研究的期望)”与原文意思一致。故选D。
37.D 38.D 39.C 40.A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章开篇提出人们在面对他人需要帮助时存在的一些不作为现象这一问题,接着通过Kitty Genovese的事例引入“旁观者效应”这一概念并对其进行分析阐述,包括产生该效应的多种因素,最后提出自我意识是应对“旁观者效应”的解决办法。
37.细节理解题。根据第一段中“But sometimes we behave in ways we wouldn’t expect when encountering a situation we are unsure about. Research from the British Heart Foundation has suggested that a third of people would not perform first aid if they saw someone collapse on the street, with some even admitting they wouldn’t call an ambulance. (但有时,当我们遇到不确定的情况时,我们的行为方式会出乎我们的意料。英国心脏基金会的研究表明,如果看到有人在街上晕倒,三分之一的人不会进行急救,有些人甚至承认他们不会叫救护车。)”可知,有些人在他人需要帮助时会表现出犹豫,不确定是否要采取帮助行动,比如进行急救或叫救护车等,即,有些人会犹豫是否干预。故选D项。
38.细节理解题。根据第三段“There are various factors contributing to this effect — people think that others will get involved or intervene. Afterwards people often say they did not feel qualified or senior or important enough to be the one to intervene. It is also partly down to “pluralistic ignorance” — since everyone is not reacting to the emergency, they don’t need to either; it’s not serious because no one else is doing anything. (造成这种效应有多种因素——人们认为其他人会介入或干预。之后人们常说他们觉得自己不够格、不够资深或不够重要,不足以成为介入的那个人。这在一定程度上也归因于“多元无知”——既然每个人都对紧急情况没有反应,他们也觉得自己没必要反应;因为其他人都没做什么,所以就觉得情况不严重。)”可知,多个因素导致了旁观者效应,其中包括“多元无知”,即因所有人不反应所以认为不严重,故选D项。
39.词句猜题题。根据最后一段“Self-awareness is the best antidote to it. When encountering an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own. Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your instinct (直觉) —if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own then that’s probably the right course of action. (自我意识是应对它的最佳……。当遇到紧急情况时,想想如果你独自面对会怎么做。忽略其他人以及他们的行为,听从你的直觉—— 如果你会叫救护车,那就叫。如果你会跑去求助,那就去。如果这是你独自面对时会采取的行为方式,那么这可能就是正确的行动方案。)”可知,自我意识是应对“旁观者效应”的最佳解决方案,段落阐述了通过自我意识按照自己本能行动的具体做法,由此可推断antidote在这里是指应对、解决“旁观者效应”的办法,故选C项。
40.主旨大意题。根据第二段中“This has been termed the “bystander effect”—a well-known psychological phenomenon that individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present. The more people there are, the less likely they are to help. (这被称为“旁观者效应”——一种众所周知的心理现象,当其他人在场时,个人不太可能向某人提供帮助。人越多,他们提供帮助的可能性就越小。)”及最后一段中“If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own then that’s probably the right course of action. (如果你愿意寻求帮助,那就去做吧。如果这就是你独自一人时的行为方式,那么这可能是正确的做法。)”可知,文章主要围绕“旁观者效应”展开,讲述了人们在他人需要帮助时由于该效应而不施救的现象及原因,最后又提出通过自我意识避免成为旁观者的解决办法,整体都是在强调不要在他人有需要时只做旁观者,而要采取行动去帮助,A项“.Don’t Be a Bystander (不要成为旁观者)”最能概括全文,故选A项。
41.G 42.F 43.A 44.C 45.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了练习感激给我们带来的好处。
41.根据上文“Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. (感激不仅仅是对帮助过我们或给过我们礼物的人说“谢谢”)”可知,上文告诉我们什么是感激,G项“这是对某人或某事的更深层次的欣赏,让我们感受到积极的情绪。”能够承接上文,补充说明了什么是感激,感激让我们感受到积极的情绪。故选G。
42.根据上文“One reason for this is that gratitude stops us from thinking about negative emotions over and over again. (其中一个原因是,感激会阻止我们一遍又一遍地思考负面情绪)”可知,上文告诉我们感激会阻止我们思考负面情绪,F项“它重新引导我们的注意力,使我们专注于积极的情绪。”能够承接上文,感激会阻止我们思考负面情绪,专注于积极的情绪。故选F。
43.根据上文“But even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. (但即使我们不与任何人分享我们的写作,独自完成练习的行为也会让我们更快乐,对生活更满意)”可知,上文告诉我们独自完成练习一封感谢信也会让我们更快乐,A项“随着时间的推移,情况会越来越好。”能够承接上文,写感谢信的效果随着时间的推移会越来越好,且与下文“after several weeks or months (几周或几个月后)”相呼应。故选A。
44.根据下文“There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced inflammation (炎症) in people who have had heart problems. (有研究将感激练习与更好的睡眠质量、更好的饮食习惯和减少心脏病患者的炎症联系起来)”可知,上文告诉我们练习感激对身体有好处,例如减少心脏病患者的炎症,C项“感激也能让我们的身体感觉良好。”能够引起下文,下文具体介绍了对身体哪些方面有益。故选C。
45.根据上文“The simple answer is yes. Gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. (简单的答案是肯定的。感激意味着感到被重视,并帮助他人也感到被重视)”可知,上文告诉我们感激意味着感到被重视,D项意为“感受到被重视有助于建立更牢固的关系。”能够承接上文,介绍了感受到被重视的好处,且与下文“be it with family, partners, friends or even colleges (无论是与家人、伴侣、朋友还是大学)”相呼应。故选D。
46.“The shower effect” is the idea that when you’re struggling with a problem that feels unsolvable, you may find the answer in doing something mindless like showering.
47.It requires that one should strike a balance between focused thinking which limits originality and random associations which are often irrelevant to our creative problems. 48.Alice Flaherty holds that her dedicated graduate students need to sit in front of the desks all day to come up with a creative idea. Because she agrees that stepping away from a problem can help solve a problem. 49.Watching a boring video or a famous movie clip can help me relax my mind. So can some cardio-exercise. Because they allow me to have creative ideas.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了为什么我们在洗澡的时候总能想出好点子。
46.考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“When you’re struggling with a problem that feels unsolvable and then somewhere between shampoo and conditioner, you find the answer in the shower. Doing something mindless like showering, we can find a creative solution. Researchers at the University of Virginia call it “the shower effect”.(当你纠结于一个感觉无法解决的问题时,在洗发水和护发素之间,你会在淋浴中找到答案。做一些不需要动脑的事情,比如洗澡,我们可以找到一个创造性的解决方案。弗吉尼亚大学的研究人员称之为“淋浴效应”。)”可知,“淋浴效应”指的是,当我们遇到了一个无法解决的问题的时候,我们可以做一些不需要动脑的事情放松一下,随后自然能找到解决问题的方法。故答案为“The shower effect” is the idea that when you’re struggling with a problem that feels unsolvable, you may find the answer in doing something mindless like showering.
47.考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“Creative idea generation requires that one should strike a balance between focused thinking which limits originality and random associations which are often irrelevant to our creative problems.(创造性想法的产生要求人们在限制原创性的集中思考和通常与创造性问题无关的随机联想之间取得平衡。)”可找到答案。故答案为It requires that one should strike a balance between focused thinking which limits originality and random associations which are often irrelevant to our creative problems.
48.考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第二段““Some of my graduate students are so dedicated that they won’t get up from their desks until they have a creative idea, which is counterproductive because they don’t ever let their brains step back and take a rest”.(“我的一些研究生太专注了,直到他们有了一个有创意的想法,他们才会离开办公桌,这是适得其反的,因为他们从来没有让自己的大脑停下来休息一下。”)”可知,Flaherty认为她的研究生不应该每天坐在桌子前相处一个有创意的点子,故应将题干中的“hold(认为)”划线,因为上文“This research highlights the importance of stepping away from a problem to solve it, says Alice Flaherty, at Harvard Medical School.(哈佛医学院的Alice Flaherty说,这项研究强调了远离问题去解决问题的重要性。)”Flaherty表示,远离问题反而能够帮助解决问题。故答案为:Alice Flaherty holds that her dedicated graduate students need to sit in front of the desks all day to come up with a creative idea. Because she agrees that stepping away from a problem can help solve a problem.
49.开放性问题。答案符合逻辑即可,注意字数。故参考答案为Watching a boring video or a famous movie clip can help me relax my mind. So can some cardio-exercise. Because they allow me to have creative ideas.
