correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other
blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Going Hungry in the Land of the Rich
The United States is one of the world’s wealthiest countries. Despite this, many Americans struggle just to put
healthy food, or any food at all, on the table every day. One might think that a food shortage ____ 2 1____ (happen)
in America, but this is not the case. There is more than sufficient food for everyone, 40% of ____ 2 2____ is
unfortunately, wasted every day. There are many different ways food ____ 2 3____ (waste): farmers only pick the
best-looking crops, deliveries aren’t made on time, supermarkets throw out extra products, customers buy more
than they need, and so on. The highest level of wastage tends to happen in the richest communities.
Meanwhile, people who live in poor or rural areas often have little or no access to food. These areas are called
“food deserts.” They have fewer supermarkets, and the only food options that they ____ 2 4____ afford are often
unhealthy ones. Healthy foods ____ 2 5____ fresh fruits and vegetables may be impossible to find. Sadly, 12.8% of
the American population live in food deserts.
What can we do to help ____ 2 6____ who don’t have enough food? Shirley and Annie Zhu came up with a
solution. In 2017, when Hurricane Harvey destroyed over 100,000 homes in their city, Houston, the sisters got
involved. ___ 2 7___ helping to clear water from a flooded supermarket, they saw a huge amount of food being
wasted. At the same time, thousands of people in the city didn’t have enough ____ 2 8____ (eat).
The girls set up Fresh Hub with 10 of their classmates, ____ 2 9____ (hope) to do something to help. Theycreated an app which could be used by residents to find out ____ 3 0____ fresh food was available. Then they
contacted local farmers and supermarkets to ask for their extra food. To date, Fresh Hub has delivered more than
15,000 pounds of food to people in need.
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once.
Note that there is one word more than you need.
A. objected B. choices C. inequality D. combination E. paid F. respond
G. personality H. fade I. reduce J. inherited K. environmental
What makes us happy?
You probably know the type of personality in some people: they seem to be hopeful in almost everything. Are
they simply born happy? Is it the product of their environment? Or does it come from their life decisions?
If you are familiar with genetics research, you will have guessed that it is a ____ 31 ____ of all three. A 2018
study of 1516 Norwegian twins suggests that around 30% of the differences in people’s life satisfaction is
____ 32 ____ . Much of this seems to be related to personality traits.
To put this in context, the heritability of IQ is thought to be around 80%, so ____ 33 ____ factors clearly play
a role in our happiness. These include our physical health, the size and strength of our social network, job
opportunities and income. It seems that the absolute value of our salary matters less than whether we feel richer
than those around us, which may explain why the level of ____ 34 ____ predicts happiness better than GDP.
Interestingly, many important life ____ 3 5____ have only a little influence on our happiness. Consider
marriage. A 2019 study found that, on average, life satisfaction does rise after the wedding, but the feeling of
happiness tends to ____ 3 6____ over middle age.
Parenthood is even more complex. For decades, social scientists have found that people with children at home
are significantly less happy than those without. More recent research, however, suggests that there are important
regional differences.
Analyses show that these differences can be almost completely explained by variations in ____ 3 7____
parental leave, flexible working hours, affordable childcare and holiday leave, which together ____ 3 8____ the
potential for work-family conflict. The effects of these policies may play out across generations. In addition to the
legacy of their genes, parents’ own emotional well-being will influence the family vigour, which will, in turn, shape
the ____ 3 9____ of their children.Our life satisfaction, then, is shaped by our genes, health, economic prospects, relationships and the culture
around us. While many of these things may be beyond your control, there is now good evidence that certain
psychological strategies will help you to ____ 4 0____ to your circumstances in the happiest way possible.
III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D.
Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
Mathematics has an image problem: far too many people are put off by it and conclude that the subject just
isn’t for them. But one of the biggest problems is how maths is ____41____, as cold and dry.
I have a different approach which is to relate abstract maths to questions of politics and social justice. I have
taught fairly maths-phobic (恐惧) art students in this way and have seen their attitudes ____42____. They now
believe maths is ____43____ them and can genuinely help them.
At a basic level, maths is founded on logic, so when I am teaching logic, I use examples from ____44____
events rather than the old-fashioned type of problem. Instead of studying the logic of a statement like “all dogs
have four legs”, I might discuss the statement “all immigrants are illegal”.
,
But I do this with specific mathematical structures too. ____45____, I teach a type of structure called an
ordered set, which is subject to an order relation such as “is less than”. We then study and ask which functions are
“order-preserving”. A typical example might be the function that takes a(n) ____46____ number and maps it to the
number obtained from multiplying by 2. We would then say that if x < y then also 2x < 2y, so the function is order-
preserving.
____47____, rather than sticking to this type of dry mathematical example, I introduce issues like privilege
and wealth. If we think of one ordered set with people ordered by status, we can make a function to another set
where the people are now ordered by ____48____ instead. If someone has a higher status, are they automatically
wealthier? We can also ask about working hours and ____49____: if someone works more hours, do they
____50____ earn more? The answer there is clearly not.
My approach is controversial because, traditionally, maths is supposed to be ____51____ and apolitical (与
政治无关的). I have been ____52____ by people who think my approach will be off-putting (令人烦恼的) to
those who don’t care about social justice. However, the dry approach is off-putting to those who do care. In fact, I
believe that all academic disciplines should address our most important issues. Abstract maths is about making
thorough logical arguments, which is linked to everything. I don’t ____53____ that students agree with me aboutpolitics, but I do ask that they construct thorough arguments to back up their thoughts and develop the crucial
ability to analyze the logic of people they ____54____.
Maths isn’t just about numbers and equations (方程式); it is about studying different ____55____ systems.
We can apply it to balls rolling down different hills, but we can also apply it to pressing social issues. I think we
should do both, for the sake of society and to be more inclusive towards different types of students in maths
education.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
I write this on a spring morning, in the van I have called home for two years now.
From one small window, I have a view of joggers pounding the sunny path by the Oxford Canal, and the other
looks onto the busy railway line along which trains travel from Southampton Docks to Birmingham.
The woods where I’ve parked my van have grown up between them. This ancient van, a vehicle designed for
freedom and the open road, has proved a stable solution for surviving the current housing crisis.I became a travel writer after my studies ended, committing to brief “residencies” with museums and art
centres—where temporary accommodation is often provided in exchange for producing new work about a
community. Over the years that followed, living and working on location in the polar regions or Scandinavia or the
Alps, not settling down for very long, meant wherever I landed was always “home”.
During the pandemic it was necessary to adopt a more permanent engagement with locality. Oxford had often
drawn me back. It’s a crossroads of reality and the imagination, the perfect city for a writer.
It takes a surprising amount of work to keep a tiny home in order: buying a used van online; ensuring the
smooth running of a gas cooker and car batteries; fetching water and emptying the mobile toilet. I began to enjoy
taking care of my immediate surroundings. Over the summer, I worked to turn waste-ground into a wild garden,
replacing weeds with wild plants.
I made friends with the self-sufficient boaters living nearby, always ready to share knowledge on the low-
carbon simplicity of life without electricity. I’ve learnt that comfort can be found away from the bright
infrastructure of urban life: in watching the birds that nest in the tree and the foxes playing in the woods at dawn, in
making a cup of coffee on a spring morning.
My step away from conventional housing has been a necessary act of personal economy, but the benefits
include taking nothing for granted, and unexpected delight.
56. Why did the writer make the van his home?
A. Because the feature of the van and that of his occupation are matching.
B. Because the van is equivalent to a crossroads of reality and the imagination.
C. Because the views of joggers and trains outside the van can relieve his pressure.
D. Because living and working on location in the polar regions are appealing to him.
57. What does “immediate surroundings” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. a used van B. a gas cooker C. a wild garden D. a mobile toilet
58. Which of the following is the benefit of unconventional housing?
A. Joining joggers to do exercise. B. Keeping a tiny home in order easily.
C. Improving the economy of Oxford. D. Embracing delightful surprises.
59. What’s the writer’s attitude towards living in the van?
A. Cautious. B. Ironical. C. Favorable. D. Neutral.
(B)
What’s UP? Here, let’s take a look at some excellent book reviews for this month.Dead Good Detectives
Jenny McLachlan
This is the story of a 12-year-old girl called Sid who loves playing horror games with her
friends. But when she accidentally releases the ancient ghost pirate, Bones, Sid is launched into
an adventure! However, there is someone hiding in the shadows, intended to send Bones back
into the mysterious inn that he came from. This is a funny, exciting book that l would
recommend to people who love lots of laughs.
Totty
Shirley Galligan
To find his home, Totty the turtle goes on an impressive adventure with the help of his
friends, and has different obstacles to overcome. He wakes up with a plastic bag stuck around
his neck, swims through an oil spill and gets caught in a fishing net. My favourite part was when
his friend, the whale, helped him out of the garbage mountain, and he was rescued by the Sea
Turtle Rescue Centre. If you like sea animals and care for the environment then this is a good
book for you!

(C)
The United Nations Food Systems Summit(峰会)held last September was overshadowed by a powerful
counter-moblilization effort led by farmers and scientists and small-scale food producers across the world.
Opposition to the summit had been mounting since July, when hundreds of grassroots organizationschallenged the organizers for framing the problem of food systems in narrow, technocratic ways and offering “false
solutions” such as biotechnological interventions(干预)instead of promoting more sustainable, just and people-first
ways of farming. Also in July the Philippines approved commercial cultivation of Bt eggplant, a genetically
modified (GM) food that produces a protein that kills eggplant fruit and “Golden Rice” changed to produce beta-
carotene, the forerunner of vitamin A. The Philippines thus became the first country in South and Southeast Asia of
approve GM rice.
Advocates of GM crops praised the Philippines’ move as a victory of science. Since the U. N.’s food summit
was announced two years ago, different groups have steadily reduced applications of science to global problems to
a limited set of investor-oriented innovations. Within this orbit, agricultural biotechnology and digitalization are
boasted as vital to achieving the U. N.’s sustainable development goals. As governments now debate the way
forward from the summit, it is critical to recognize that a narrow focus on technology to address the complex
structural problems of farming and food has an astonishingly poor track record.
At its base, GM crops are rooted in a colonial-capitalist model of agriculture based on theft of local land and
on exploiting farmers’ and food workers’ labor, native knowledge and the web of lift itself. Today this agricultural
model is responsible not only for increasing farm debt, depleted soils, and threats to native seeds and biodiversity
but also the destruction of farmers’ knowledge and skills. For the world to achieve sustainability, this colonial
model of agriculture must be dismissed, and promising agroecological approaches based on working with
biodiversity and farmers’ knowledge and skills should be brought to center stage.
Most GM crops are engineered with resistance to herbicides(除草剂)and insects, which has not only
contributed to the emergence of “super-weeds” and increasing pesticide use but has driven the global growth of
seed and chemical industries. These kinds of crops have principally benefited large-scale farmers, grain traders and
multinational corporations involved in selling seeds and pesticides.
Multinational agribusinesses have understood Golden Rice and Bt eggplant as pro-poor technologies to win
over smallholder farmers and consumers in the Global South. The International Rice Research Institute has led
Golden Rice’s development with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and in partnership with
Syngenta (which owns rights to the rice) to address vitamin A deficiency (VAD) among the poor, especially
children and pregnant women.
63. The recent Food Systems Summit was greeted with distrust because the organizers ________.
A. didn’t take the interests of people concerned into account
B. didn’t attach importance to the blossoming of agricultureC. failed to come up with the effective initiatives with joint efforts
D. employed the inappropriate approaches to farming
64. What is the purpose of mentioning the Philippines’ case?
A. To prove the victory for the supporters of GM food.
B. To illustrate the Philippines’ opposition to the summit.
C. To argue it is a waste of money in the GM food.
D. To introduce how many nutrients GM food may contain.
65. ________ is advocated for the development of agriculture in the long run.
A. Exploiting farmers’ and food workers’ labor
B. Developing crops resistant to insects
C. Removing the colonial-capitalist model
D. Establishing partnership to address VAD
66. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The Philippines is a country with cutting-edge technologies.
B. The application of GM food will solve the problem of environment.
C. Governments have initiated into the complex structural farming problems.
D. The booming pesticide industry is credited to the cultivation of GM food.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used
once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A. There’ll still be times when old thoughts cause sadness, or you’re anxious about what’s next.
B. The usefulness of nostalgia seems to vary with age.
C. Today we have a much more positive attitude to nostalgia.
D. You’ll get faster at finding it, and add extra layers of detail each time.
E. The answer lies in connecting with your past and future selves.
F. But there’s also a growing body of research into time travel “the other way”.
How to Travel in Time
The term “NOSTALGIA”(怀旧)used to describe a mental disease. The “algia” bit means “pain”, and the word
was coined by a 17th-century doctor treating homesick soldiers, whose symptoms included hallucinations(幻
觉)and depression. ____ 6 7____ And it’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory — choosing to
recapture moments from the past to enjoy them all over again.
As evidence, a recent report highlighted the increase in old songs being streamed on Spotify during lockdown.
It seems that we found strength in musical memories of happier times. ____ 6 8____ Because memory skills can takeyou into the future, too — bringing a whole new set of rewards.
In another pandemic experiment, people wrote letters to their future selves, and found that they improved their
mood by imagining themselves safely on the other side of COVID-19. Here are my tips for becoming a confident
time traveller yourself:
*To reawaken happy feelings, use all your senses—not just sight. Smell, taste, touch and sound will also help
you to recreate the past in rich clarity. If you find a memory that’s particularly helpful — for reassurance, say —
keep using it！ ____ 6 9____
* When you’re procrastinating(拖延), visualise an end result. Flash forward to see the floor swept or the
essay finished, and use that positive image to spur you into action.
* Ahead of major challenges, imagine the full impact of success. Don’t just picture yourself getting that great
job: fill your mind with the really big ways it’s going to change your life.
____ 7 0____ But the more you learn to control your memory, the better you’ll be at mining your past, and
shaping your future, to be your best self now.
IV.Summary Writing (共10分）
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more
than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Benefits of Green Spaces
We all know the value of taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allows your mind to relax and forget
about the problems in everyday life. Studies have commonly shown the benefits of being around green spaces,
including gardens, urban parks and forests.
But did you know that being in contact with these natural surroundings during childhood could positively
impact your mental health as an adult? A study by the Institute for Global Health surveyed 3,600 people from all
over Europe.
The all-adult study gave participants a questionnaire (问卷) on how frequently they used natural spaces
during childhood — for example, playing in a garden or riding a bike at the park. They were also asked about the
importance they put on using such places. Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a varietyof questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a
four-week period. The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had
higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure — as did those who attached higher
importance to using green spaces. The study’s assistant, Wilma Smith, wrote that the results “show the importance
of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy
psychological state in adulthood”. She also stressed the importance of “recognizing the implications of growing up
in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”.
According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited access to natural spaces. So we call
on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children.
While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So remember to
make time to expose yourself to nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.
