Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲)to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. ''Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,'' she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful.
24. What did Jennifer do after high school?
A. She helped her dad with his work.
B. She ran the family farm on her own.
C. She supported herself through college.
D. She taught her sisters and brothers at home.
25. Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield?
A. To take care of her kids easily. B. To learn from the best nurses.
C. To save money for her parents. D. To find a well-paid job there.
26. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?
A. Her health. B. Her time with family.
C. Her reputation. D. Her chance of promotion.
27. What can we learn from Jenifer's story?
A. Time is money. B. Love breaks down barriers.
C. Hard work pays off. D. Education is the key to success.
C
In my everyday life, I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet. A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate change. It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our daily lives. Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices than, let's say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods?
After doing some research, I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used. Let me try to explain.
A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions(排放)of carbon dioxide(CO2)from the burning of fuels, including household energy consumption and transportation. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use-those related to their production and breakdown.
Based on this understanding, we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production. However, for the car and the other appliances(设备)that we need we can go with new, energy-saving models. I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.
28. What is the text mainly about?
A. What appliances to buy to save energy.
B. What a carbon footprint means in our life.
C. How to identify different carbon footprints.
D. How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices.
29. What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?
A. It is related to our consumption of fuels.
B. It is made when we are buying the products.
C. It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.
D. It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.
30. Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author?
A. Using second-hand textbooks. B. Using old and expensive cars.
C. Buying new but cheap clothes. D. Buying new wooden furniture.
31. “the footprint” underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in ____.
A. using the product B. recycling the product
C. making the product D. transporting the product
D
During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction (干扰) in his open office, he said, “That’s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street — so I can focus”. His comment struck me as strange. After all, coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout (布局). But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.
The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total silence to 50 decibels (分贝), 70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however, the participants in the 70 decibels group — those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop — significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that the right level of background noise — not too loud and not total silence — may actually improve one’s creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander, without making it impossible to focus. This kind of “distracted focus” appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that, in our offices, we can’t stop ourselves from getting drawn into others’ conversations while we’re trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process, and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.
32. Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?
A. It helps him concentrate. B. It blocks out background noise.
C. It has a pleasant atmosphere. D. It encourages face-to-face interactions.
33. Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?
A. Total silence. B. 50 decibels C. 70 decibels. D. 85 decibels.
34. What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?
A. Personal privacy unprotected. B. Limited working space.
C. Restrictions on group discussion. D. Constant interruptions.
35. What can we infer about the author from the text?
A. He’s a news reporter. B. He’s an office manager.
C. He’s a professional designer. D. He’s a published writer.

Life can be challenging for teens. They must deal with schoolwork, family life and friends at the same time to fit. Feelings of sadness, frustration and irritability are common. ____36____ Their negative feelings don't come and go. Instead, those intense feelings can point to a disease called depression—one that may require treatment.
It's easy to think that depressed people simply feel sad or hopeless. For many teens that may be true. ____37____ Some kids withdraw from friends and family. Others respond with angry outbursts.

Even depressed teens may not realize they have this problem. ____38____ More than three million Americans between the ages of 12 and 17 experienced depression in 2019.

And only one in three will have been diagnosed by their doctor.
____39____ “I can only work with what you give me,” Dee says, the mental-health professional in Lincoln, Neb.
Dee says, peers should also seek for signs of depression. Keep an eye on your friends, she recommends. Watch for symptoms of isolation (孤立) or hopelessness. ____40____ Any of these behaviors could be a symptom of depression.

第二节（满分25 分）
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。
Boys like to be considered to be brave, but what kind of things can be considered to be brave? It is not a question that can be answered by words, but by the actual deed. A boy with the name Henry gave us a good example. Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school, they saw some people fighting in the street corner. Ronny said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s go and have a look!” But Henry refused, “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Ronny, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. Henry had to go home alone and didn't think about it anymore.
But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behavior, because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well. However, Ronny didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had lots of fun.
注意：
1. 所续写的短文词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为二段，每段的开头语已经为你写好；

【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。作者一直努力减少生活中的碳足迹，但是新型环保产品和使用过的传统生产的产品，哪一种更能减少碳足迹呢？作者通过研究和对比给我们找到了答案：他们各有千秋。
28. 主旨大意题。文章第一段中“Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices(幸运的是，现在更容易选择环保的生活方式)”以及困扰作者的一个问题“is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced ones?(新型环保产品，使用过的传统生产的产品，选择哪一种更好？)”再根据第二段一整段的内容，作者通过研究得出答案，有些时候是新型环保产品好，有时候是另一种更好。文章接下来的段落就是分析了作者这个答案是怎样找到的。由此可知，文章主要是关于怎样选择更环保的生活方式的。故选D。
29. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use-those related to their production and breakdown.(第二种足迹是表示我们使用的产品在整个生命周期中间接排放的二氧化碳，这些是和他们的生产和排放有关的)”可知，第二种碳足迹虽然不是我们直接产生的，但是也是我们使用的产品释放出来的，也是要归结到我们身上的。故选D。
30. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production.”可知，像盘子，衣服和家具这样的物品是属于“第二类型的足迹”，所以是越少越好，我们应该注重寻找用过的物品来避免额外的生产。二手书是属于和衣服等可以二次使用的物品，符合题意。故选A。
31. 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you. (主要的问题是这些投入在制造新产品时的能源以及这种额外的碳是否值得它到你手里以后，所产生的碳足迹)”可知，footprint在其后定语从句the product will make once it gets to you充当make的宾语，意思是“这种碳足迹就是产品到你手里之后，你使用中所产生的”。由此推知，划线词组the footprint指的是“产品使用过程中产生的二氧化碳”。故选A。
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文。作者通过自身经历讲述人们为什么不喜欢开放性办公室以及有关多少分贝的噪音最有利于人们的创造性思维的研究。
32. 细节理解题。根据第一段“That’s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street — so I can focus(这就是为什么我在街对面的联合办公空间办了会员，这样我就能专心工作了)”可知，采访者喜欢共享办公空间的原因是那里可以帮助他集中精力。故选A。
33. 细节理解题。根据第二段“The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant; however, the participants in the 70 decibels group — those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop — significantly outperformed the other groups.(大多数组之间的差异在统计学上是不显著的；然而，70分贝组的参与者——那些暴露在类似于咖啡店背景噪音水平的人——的表现明显优于其他组。)”和第三段“But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that the right level of background noise — not too loud and not total silence — may actually improve one’s creative thinking ability.(但由于70分贝的结果是显著的，该研究还表明，适当水平的背景噪音——不要太大，也不要完全安静——实际上可能会提高一个人的创造性思维能力。)”可知，70分贝的那组参与者表现好于其他组，所以70分贝的噪音背景环境更有可能促进创造性思维能力。故选C。
34. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that, in our offices, we can’t stop ourselves from getting drawn into others’ conversations while we’re trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process, and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.(那么，为什么我们这么多人讨厌开放式办公室呢？问题可能在于，在我们的办公室里，当我们试图集中注意力时，我们无法阻止自己卷入他人的谈话中。事实上，研究人员发现，面对面的交流和交谈会影响创作过程，而联合办公空间或咖啡店在提供一定程度的噪音的同时，也提供了免受干扰的自由。)”可知，开放式办公室不受人们欢迎的原因是让我们不断地卷入别人的谈话中，受到很多干扰。故选D。
35. 推理判断题。根据第一段“During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often.(在我的一本书的采访中，我的采访者说了一些话，我至今仍时常想起。)”可知，作者提到有人采访自己，所以可以推断，作者是一位作家。故选D。

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了每天用一份红肉代替鱼或坚果可以将早死的风险降低。
56. 考查介词。句意：但《每日电讯报》提供了一个好消息，每天用一份红肉代替鱼或坚果可以将早死的风险降低近五分之一。Exchange...for...是固定搭配，意为“交换”。故填for。
57. 考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：这两个标题都是由一项关于饮食和健康结果的重大新研究提出的。此处陈述过去发生的事情，使用一般过去时，主语Both headlines与谓语为被动关系。可知，此处应该用一般过去时的被动语态。主语为headlines，谓语动词使用复数形式。故填were put。
58. 考查名词。句意：这两个标题都是由一项关于饮食和健康结果的重大新研究提出的。outcome是可数名词，再根据前面的diet and health可知，这里是指两方面的结果，所以用复数形式。故填outcomes。
59. 考查定语从句。句意：他们发现，在研究期间，那些改变了饮食习惯、摄入更多红肉的人死亡的可能性要高出10%左右。空处引导定语从句，先行词those指代人，且在定语从句中充当主语，需用关系代词who/that引导。故填who/that。
60. 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：他们发现，在研究期间，那些改变了饮食习惯、摄入更多红肉的人死亡的可能性要高出10%左右。分析句子结构可知，that引导的宾语从句缺少谓语，再根据前面的had可知，此处应该用一般过去时。主语为those，谓语动词用复数形式。故填were。
61. 考查副词。句意：虽然减少红肉本身并不能降低死亡风险，但吃鱼或坚果等其他食物确实能略微降低死亡风险。此处用slight的副词形式来修饰谓语动词did reduce。故填slightly。
62. 考查形容词。句意：我们仍然需要对这些发现保持谨慎。be为系动词，后面需加形容词作表语，be careful about为固定结构，意为“注意”。故填careful。
63. 考查名词。句意：这项研究不能确定地告诉我们红肉或红肉消耗的变化是寿命变化的直接原因。meat为名词作定语，修饰名词。consumption是consume的名词形式，meat consumption意为“肉类消耗”。故填consumption。
64. 考查冠词。句意：但研究结果支持了现有的健康饮食建议，即限制红肉和加工肉类，多吃蔬菜、水果和其他蛋白质来源，如坚果和豆类。这里的the results特指这次实验的结果，需用定冠词the修饰。故填the。
65. 考查非谓语动词。句意：但研究结果支持了现有的健康饮食建议，即限制红肉和加工肉类，多吃蔬菜、水果和其他蛋白质来源，如坚果和豆类。and前后为并列成分，根据本句后面的to eat可知，此处应该用动词不定式作定语。故填to limit。

【答案】
A few days later, something terrible happened to Ronny. That afternoon after school, Ronny was bathing with some of his new friends in the river happily. Suddenly, he was stuck in the mud and couldn’t get out. He struggled hard but he was still trapped. He screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could. They were so scared and did not even try to help him.
At that moment, Henry happened to pass by. He heard the screams and ran to the river as soon as possible. Seeing Ronny was almost drowned, Henry took off his clothes immediately and jumped into the water without any hesitation. He reached Ronny just as he was sinking the last time. With great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Ronny to the shore in time. Henry was happy to help his friend, though he was extremely tired.
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章中的男孩亨利因为没有和朋友罗尼一起去凑热闹看别人打架，而被罗尼叫做懦夫并且受到了排挤，但亨利知道真正的勇气体现在容忍不该容忍的误解，罗尼的新朋友们也都觉得亨利是个懦夫。几天后，罗尼和新朋友们在河里洗澡时，不小心陷在泥里，他的新朋友们没有帮助他，而亨利在路过时听到了求救声后用尽他的力气帮助了罗尼。
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“几天后，在罗尼身上发生了可怕的事情”可知，第一段可描写罗尼遇到的可怕事情，同时承接上文中罗尼交往了一些新朋友的剧情，描写罗尼的新朋友在他遇到可怕事情时候的反应，如新朋友们看到罗尼陷入困境时一个个都赶紧离开。
②由第二段首句内容“就在那时，亨利碰巧经过。”可知，第二段可描写亨利在看到罗尼遭到不好事情时的反应。前文提到罗尼嘲笑亨利是个懦夫，但在这一段可描写亨利的勇敢救人的行为，以形成情节上的转折。
2.续写线索：罗尼陷入困境——朋友逃离现场——亨利及时出手相助——帮助罗尼非常高兴
3.词汇激活
