阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Four beautiful trips combining bikes and trains
Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail (小径)
The trail is an 87-mile pathway from Cleveland to Bolivar in Northeast Ohio. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic
Railroad (CVSR) stretches out separately along the trail from Akron to Thornburg Station, a 31-mile stretch that
passes through Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The trail hugs the outline of the original Ohio and Erie Canal.
Today, the trail passes many landmarks, including bridges, museums, and villages.
Danube Cycle Path
It is a path that follows the Danube River for about 745 miles, from Donaueschingen, Germanny to Budapest,
Hungary. The path is most popular in Austria featuring 245 scenic miles serviced by local and long-distance trains.
Most cyclists choose to ride from west to cast with the flow of the river, to take advantage of the natural slope (斜
坡) of bicycle traffic.
Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail
The tail extends for 25 miles through woodlands next to the Lehigh Rive. A historic tourist railway called the
Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway follows the trail, allowing cyclists to create a one- way ride rather than backtracking.
The rail trail is mostly flat and passes through Lehigh Gorge State Park. While the train operates most days, the
bike service is only offered one weekend a month from May to November.
Cinder Track
The Cinder Track is a 21-mile broken-stone pathway along the coast of Yorkshire, England: The towns of
Scarborough and Whitby, where the trail begins and ends, both have train stations near the trail. The train journey is
not a direct pathway between the two towns—in fact, the tracks of the original direct pathway were removed tocreate the trail. The trail, meanwhile, hugs the Yorkshire coast, with views of seaside bluffs (峭壁), fishing villages,
etc.
21．What is special about the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail?
A．It offers a chance to visit museums.
B．It goes past many cities and villages.
C．It shares most of its trail with CVSR.
D．It provides cyclists with a view of the sea.
22．What’s the disadvantage of the Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail for cyclists?
A．The numerous sharp slope. B．The extremely rough path.
C．The connection with a railway. D．The time limit of bike service.
23．Which of the following covers the longest distance?
A．The Cinder Track.
B．The Danube Cycle Path.
C．The Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail.
D．The Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail.
B
Is future you…you? It might seem like a strange philosophical question. But the answer to how you think
about your future self could make the difference between decisions you ultimately find satisfying and ones you
might eventually regret.
The brain patterns that emerge on an MRI (核磁共振) when people think about their future selves most
resemble the brain patterns that arise when they think about strangers. This finding suggests that, in the mind’s eye,
our future selves look like other people. If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat
healthier or exercise more regularly to benefit that stranger?
However, if you see the interests of your distant self as more like those of your present self, you are
considerably more likely to do things today that benefit you tomorrow. A paper in the journal PLOS One revealed
that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more
likely to achieve academic success. Relationships with our future selves also matter for general psychological well-
being. In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5,000 adults age 20 to 75, he found that those who perceived
a great overlap (重叠) in traits between their current and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives
10 years after filling out the initial survey.
So how can we better befriend our future selves and feel more connected to their fates? The psychologicalmindset with what we call “vividness interventions” works. We have found, for instance, that showing people
images of their older, grayer selves increases intentions to save for the long term. Besides, you might try writing a
letter to—and then from—your future self. As demonstrated by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study
in the journal Self and Identity, when high-school students engaged in this type of “send-and-reply” exercise, they
experienced elevated levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves.
Letter-writing and visualization exercises are just a couple of ways we can connect with our future selves and
beyond, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our distant selves as if they are people we love, care about
and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives—both today and tomorrow.
24．What’s the function of paragraph 2?
A．Generating further discussion. B．Introducing a research result.
C．Showing the effect of the finding. D．Concluding various viewpoints.
25．How does the author prove his statements?
A．By offering relevant statistics. B．By using quotations.
C．By referring to previous findings. D．By making comparisons.
26．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Benefits of befriending our future selves.B．Ways of connecting with our future selves.
C．Methods of changing psychological mindsets.D．Possibilities of us becoming our future selves.
27．What does the article want to tell us?
A．Making future plans makes a difference.B．Our future selves look like other people.
C．Getting to know your future self benefits. D．Your choice determines future happiness.

When humans are feeling lonely, we can call or video chat with friends and family who live far away. But,
scientists asked, what about pet parrots? New research suggests that these chatty creatures may also benefit from
virtually connecting with their peers.
The idea for this study was not random: In the wild, parrots tend to live in large groups. But when kept in as
pets, these social birds are often on their own. Feeling bored and lonely, they may develop psychological issues and
can even turn to self-harming behaviours like pulling out their feathers.
In the study, researchers wanted to see whether 18 pet parrots could learn to make and receive video calls
when they needed to help reduce loneliness. In the initial stage, the birds learnt to ring a bell and then touch a photo
of another bird on a tablet screen to start a call to that bird. Calls would only work when caregivers were able to
assist at both ends. In the second stage, the parrots could choose to call other birds at their own will by ringing thebell then selecting the bird they wanted to call. During a two-month study period, owners said they recorded 147
deliberate calls between birds.
“We saw some really encouraging results from the study,” said researchers. The parrots seemed to grasp that
they were truly engaging with other birds onscreen and their behaviour often mirrored what we would expect from
real-life interactions between these types of birds. “She came alive during the calls,” one pet owner said about her
bird, according to a Northeastern University statement.
The team has previously designed similar technology such as DogPhone, which allowed pet dogs to shake a
ball to communicate with their owner. “The animal Internet is already here—there are hundreds of products on the
market that let pet owners interact with their animals remotely over the net, but their design is primarily focused on
what humans want, not what their pets need,” Hirskyj-Douglas from the University of Glasgow added.
28．Why did researchers want to teach parrots to make video calls?
A．To assess the effects of video calls on animals.
B．To train parrots’ communication skills.
C．To help get pet parrots out of bad moods.
D．To improve the relationships between parrots.
29．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．The subjects of the experiment.
B．The procedures of the experiment.
C．Caregivers’ role in the experiment.
D．The significance of the experiment.
30．Why is a pet owner’s statement mentioned in the passage?
A．To indicate video calls saved his parrot’s life.
B．To show pet parrots like video calls very much.
C．To show pet owners are satisfied with the study.
D．To illustrate the study produced positive results.
31．What is the difference between this study and previous ones?
A．It uses the Internet technology. B．It enhances human-animal interaction.
C．It satisfies pet owners’ needs. D．It focuses on animals’ needs.

A comment from Zadie Smith caught my attention this week. Asked whether she had ever considered
recording an album, the novelist responded, “I have a dream of having a Café Carlyle residency in New York in my80s.” Here she is at the height of her success dreaming of a career Plan B just like the rest of us!
Weird Plan Bs fascinate me because for years I had one of my own. Despite being perfectly happy in my
chosen profession, I had long harboured the fantasy of becoming a photographer and I took a lockdown leap and
applied to art school to acquire some actual skills.
Has it brought me fame and riches? Not as yet. Like many people who dream of having a go at something
different, I was focusing on creative fulfilment rather than my future finances. By the time I graduated in 2022, my
dream of running a portrait photography business was looking a lot less practicable—in part thanks to AI head-shot
generators.
If only I had had a little more Fobo, also known as the fear of becoming out-of-date. This workplace trend is
an updated version of Fomo—the fear of missing out, which now feels like a poignant (辛酸的) throwback to more
optimistic times. 22% of workers are worried that technology will put them out of a job. And who can blame them?
There is another reason that nurturing an alterative career might be risky. Research indicates that having a
back-up plan can work against you. Having a Plan B as a safety net can cause people to make less effort at their day
job and — unhelpfully — run a greater risk of losing it.
So, do I regret pursuing my Plan B? Not at all — hopefully I’ve got a few years before robot photographers
take over the world, and I currently spend a day a week on photography. My only sorrow is something unexpected.
For so many years. I had the fantasy of trying something new. My “someday” ambition sustained me through dull
and boring days. But now I’m actually spending some of my week doing it, which has caused empty space in my
life. It made me realize that having an alternative career to dream about is in itself sustaining and comforting. You
might never do it, and that might not even matter. So, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go and start working on my
Plan C．..
32．Why did Zadie Smith want to have a Cafe Carlyle residency?
A．She was not satisfied with her writing career.
B．She was eager to take up a second career.
C．She was depressed by recording an album.
D．She was unable to reach the height of success.
33．What do you know about the author’s plan B?
A．She was a skilled photographer who graduated from an art school.
B．She gave up her chosen occupation because of lockdown.
C．She gained a sense of creative satisfaction instead of income.
D．She ran a photography business with the assistance of AI.34．Why did the author mention the concepts of Fobo and Fomo in paragraph 4?
A．To explain why workers are eager to do plan
B．To introduce one of the disadvantages to do plan B．
C．To advocate the society’s acceptance of plan B．
D．To display the future of trend of the workforce.
35．What’s the author’s “only sorrow” according to the last paragraph?
A．She will be replaced by robot photographer in the future.
B．She can’t spare time to do photography professionally.
C．She hates the dull and boring days in doing photography.
D．She lost something new to excite some enthusiasm for life.

The degree to which you leave traces (or data) of your online activities is referred to as your digital footprint.
36 What you usually leave behind include the remains of a campfire, your dinner scraps, and the path you
carved in the woods while hiking.
In some cases, there’s a legal use for your digital footprint, such as website owners and advertisers collecting
information about your online habits and purchasing preferences to better accommodate your needs. 37
Perhaps the biggest risk people face online is having their identity stolen. Besides identity theft, criminals can
gather enough information about a person to target him for fraud (欺诈).
38 Here are some steps you can take to minimize it.
Don’t use your primary email address when creating online accounts. You can create one-off email addresses
to make it harder for someone to develop a picture of all the sites and services you use. Another step for you is not
to over-share. 39 So you can restrict your social media posts to friends or close contacts only. Finally,
don’t let websites sell your data. Increasingly, websites are adding privacy tools that prevent you from having your
personal information sold to advertisers or shared with partners. 40
A．You’re leaving an “active” digital footprint or a “passive” one.
B．You’ll need to look for these controls right now, if they exist at all.
C．You probably don’t need your personal life to be completely public.
D．It’s similar to the evidence you might leave behind after going camping.
E．In the case of your digital footprint, the evidence you leave behind is data.F．It’s inescapable to leave some sort of digital footprint after your online activity.
G．But the data can also be used by hackers, criminals and other immoral actors.

The day I met Hani Irmawati, she was a shy, 17-year-old girl standing alone in the parking lot of the
international school in Indonesia, where I teach English. She asked if I could help her improve her English. I could
41 it took immense courage for the young Indonesian girl to 42 me and ask for help.
“I want to go to a US university,” she said with confidence. I was surprised.
I agreed to work with her 43 a volunteer basis. For several months, Hani woke each morning at five
and caught the city bus to her public high school. During the one-hour 44 , she studied for her regular
classes and finished the English 45 I had given her. At four o’clock in the afternoon, she arrived at my
classroom, 46 but ready to work.
When I met Hani’s family at their 47 little house, I realized they would never be able to afford the
expenses of a US university. Hani’s enthusiasm was 48 with her language ability, but I was becoming more
and more discouraged.
One day I received the announcement of a(n) 49 opportunity for a major US university. After reading
the requirements, I knew Hani couldn’t meet the qualifications. I told her that there was only a 50 chance of
her getting the scholarship and encouraged her to be more “realistic” about her dream. But she remained 51
.
“Will you send in my name?” she asked.
I couldn’t 52 her down. I completed the application, with the painful truth about her academic life, but
also with my 53 of her courage and perseverance.
Three weeks later, just before Hani went to Jakarta to take the Test of English Fluency, she received a letter
from the scholarship association. She had been 54 .
I leaped around the room, overjoyed and shocked. Hani stood by, smiling. I realized that it was I who had
learned something Hani had known from the beginning: It is not intelligence alone that brings success, but also the
55 to succeed, the commitment to work hard and the courage to believe in yourself.

67. 阅读下而材料，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。
Growing up, I was always around my grandma Meredith. She was the one who originally inspired my love for
cooking and my dream of becoming a chef. Yet, one day I received a text that would turn my whole life around,
“Grandma is seriously ill,” the text read, “and we need your help in assisting with her care.”
Without a second of hesitation, I agreed to travel back home. Thankfully, my boss at the restaurant let me take
unpaid leave for the next several months so I could come home to help out with Gran. After driving across several
states, I finally got back to our family home in West Virginia. Yet, what I saw was really bard for me to bear. The
Meredith I saw then was not the lively, joyful Meredith I had seen while I was growing up.
“Tony!” she called to me from her bed, “It’s so good to see you! "
“Gran,” I sighed, “I’m not Tony. That’s dad, your son. I’m Hank.”
This was the start of a months-long journey of helping out around the house-cooking, cleaning, and, most of
all, keeping Gran in good health and good spirits.
Every day, I cooked delicious food to keep everyone’s spirits high. But, secretly, I hoped that cooking somedishes that we had made together in my childhood would somehow help get Gran’s memory of me back, if not just
for a moment.
Stews (炖菜), chops (排骨), roasts—I served all of these to Gran and my parents around the clock. When I
wasn’t taking Gran out for strolls (散步) in her wheelchair or changing her bed sheets, I was cooking. I had cooked
for dignitaries (显要人物) and rock stars while at the restaurant in New York City, but never had I poured my heart
out into my meals than I did then for Grandma Meredith.
Paragraph 1:
When I was almost at my breaking point, I decided to make something simple.

After taking a few bites, Gran finally called out my name—my actual name.
