Its death rate of 1.3 is far below the rate of 2.1 required to maintain a stable population, in the___15___of immigration. The country also has one of the highest life expectancies in the world ; in 2020, nearly one in 1,500 people in Japan were aged 100 or older. These concerning trends resulted in a warning from Prime minister that Japan is “on the edge of not being able to maintain social___16___” and Japan “simply cannot wait any longer” in solving the problem of its low birth rate.

Performance ___22___ when about 70% of the players were considered top talent. Above that level, the team’s performance began to decline. Interestingly, this trend was not evident in baseball, where additional ___23___ talent continued to enhance the team’s performance. (Figure 1 and 2) 第 5 页 共 15 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) In looking for an explanation for the different results for different sports, the researchers ___24___one important factor — the extent to which a good performance by a team required its members to coordinate (协调) their actions. This task ___25___ distinguishes baseball from basketball and soccer. In baseball, the performance of individual players is ___26___ teammates than in soccer and basketball.

One explanation for this phenomenon is not so far from the pecking order (等级排序) situation among chickens. If a basketball star is pursuing his own personal goals,___29___ trying to gather a high personal point total, he may be less ____30____ than team player. He may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a team mate, thus making the team’s overall performance suffer. “There is no____31____in TEAM,” young children learning to play team sports are often told. Apparently stars ____32____ follow this basic principle of sportsman ship. Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may begin to____33____ This is referred to as the Ringelmann effect. Ringelmann conducted an experiment in which he asked two, three, four, and up to 28 people to participate in a game of tug-of-war. He measured how much force each person used to pull the rope. He found that whenever he added a person to the team, everyone else pulled with less force. ____34____ the ideal team — for sports, business, science, or entertainment — is more complicated than simply hiring the best talent.

For each of them there are four choice 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) It was a winter afternoon when, rushing to attend the final show of my art school degree, I caught the heel of my boot on the edge of a pavement. Suddenly, I was flying through the air. If the past two years studying photography had taught me anything, it was an appreciation of how things can change in a thousandth of a second. Light, shadow, 的 colours, all are in a constant state of flux (不断 变动) — as is life. And since crash-landing onto my left shoulder, I have been living through the truth of this wisdom. That day, doctors diagnosed a cracked bone. It was only the next morning when, instinctively, I tried to capture some spectacular sunlight streaming into my kitchen, that I had to face the harsh reality: I could no longer lift my camera, let alone us it. Latch that week, a hospital appointment confirmed my worst scar — the arm needed total rest. Soon, I became cantankerous and impatient. I couldn’t travel, I could’t go anywhere much. Surfing online, I came across the concept of gratitude inter vent ions and their role in boosting mood and well being. A Californian psychologist, Sonja Lyubomirsky, has pioneered research into using a daily photography practice as a tool for enhanced gratitude. Her instructions are simple, but not necessarily cask. Take photographs throughout the day of things that are central to who you are. Take at least five photos a day. Initially, it felt like a demanding task. But reading how participants assigned to the gratitude interventions had experienced enhanced positive emotions, I decided to persevere. 第 7 页 共 15 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) Pain forced me to slow down, because capturing a single iPhone photo was painful. And, yet, the struggle to find anything to feel grateful about, and then to record it, started to dramatically improve both my mood and my images. I began to photograph the most boring details of my days, from my breakfast cup to a red pepper reflected in the window. Despite everything, I found I could find magic in the ordinary. “Life seems repetitive and boring when you don’t notice the uniqueness of each moment and the constant subtle changes that are going on all around you,” write Andy Karr in a wonderful book on photography. I agree, but don’t just take my word for it — experience it for yourself. 36. What happened to the writer on the winter afternoon ? A. She went to her classmate’s degree show in a hurry. B. She tripped over and broke her shoulder bone. C. She was taught an unforgettable lesson on photography. D. She took a photo of a tragic crash-landing to be on show. 37. The underlined word “cantankerous”in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. A. suspicious of the hospital diagnosis B. desperate to have my injury treated C. enthusiastic about boosting wellbeing D. bad-tempered and always complaining 38. The writer photographed the boring life routine because______. A. underlying magic consisted in daily affairs B. gratitude fuelled a struggle against boredom C. it was central to the essence of photography D. she felt like being assigned demanding tasks 39. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage ? A. Express Gratitude to Winter B. Become a Master of Photography C. Witness Re birth out of Injury D. Picture this beauty in the Ordinary (B) 第 8 页 共 15 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) ENTERTAINMENT|RESTAURANTS|THEATRE|FILM|MUSIC|EXHIBITIONS A notable highlight of the show was the real confidence of the singing. Sam Hall was a joy to watch, with perfect comic timing, as was Emma Williams, thoroughly believable and convincing in her role. These two young talents stole the show, in my opinion. The only disadvantage is appointments were the dancing, which showed a lack of originality, and the opening scene, which fell a little flat. Despite the occasional technical flaws, this was a highly enjoyable and greatly impressive production, which the company should be proud of. I was really looking forward to Jonathan Baker’s latest, which is set in an imagined, but realistic, London of the scar future. But I found this new effort was act down by the slightly one-dimensional characterization, and the writing is below standard for the most part : some of the early scents between Martha and her husband are slightly boring. The superb characterization and ambition that baker demonstrated in his previous novels seem to be missing here. Baker’ commitment to describing the lives of ordinary people is admirable, but the whole thing is lacking in energy. This is episode number three in the nearly twenty- year-old series, delivering a very attractive and interesting story and loads of comedy. There is some strong writing and voice acting, but the new episode chooses to go for a linear (线性的) narrative, with some puzzle included along the way, which is less involving than the theme of exploration and conversation which previous episode have depended on. Besides, the puzzle are not particularly engaging, and many of them have been seen before in other adventure games. The visuals are extremely impressive, of course, as we have come to expect, this time featuring venues in Catalonia. But overall, a slight disappointment. 40. The underlined phrase “ stole the show ” most probably means______. A. disappointed the producer B. ruined the whole performance C. attracted the most attention D. exhibited excessive confidence 41. Which of the following statements about Jonathan Baker is TRUE ? A. He excels in one-dimensional characterization. B. His novels center around ordinary people’s lives. C. His novels show consistent super characterization and ambition. . D He is passionate about presenting realistic images of future London. 42. The puzzle in episode number three______. A. are integrated in the narrative B. arc appealing to the audience 第 9 页 共 15 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) C. deal with the theme of exploration D. are absent in other adventure games (C) Plugs across America The United States has around 150,000 fuel stations to re till fossil-fuel-burning vehicles. Despite the rapid growth of all-electric vehicle in America — 400,000 of them were sold in 2021, up from barely la, 000 in 2012 — the country has only 6,000 fast electric charging stations, the kind that can rapidly charge a battery-powered car. A glance at America’s charging map reveals a lot of charging deserts. This makes sense, as EVs (electric vehicle) still represent less than 3% of new car sales. Large cities have a growing number of fast charges, but not nearly enough to accommodate so many EVs. Away from cities, these charters are along interstate highways closely enough to allow electric cars safe passage. Otherwise, they are nearly nonexistent in rural America. And EV stations have a problem that gas stations don’t: “Even the fastest Tesla supercharger is still going to take 15 minutes to put a couple hundred miles on the vehicle,” says Jeremy Michalek, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Michalek says American charging facilities fall far behind what’ needed for the whole country to transition to electric driving. On the bright side, there is time to catch up, because not all Americans will embrace at once. Most early adopters were those with access to a charge at home in their garage or parking space. Those owners can wake up with a full battery and only need to rely on public charters when they leave town on an extended trip. But as the country gets to higher levels of EV adoption, the current facilities won’t be enough. That is why Michalek says the US needs to prioritize increasing the number of charges at rest stops along well-traveled highways, especially as more people use electric cars for summer-time road trips. “As we act to higher levels of EV adoption, if we don’t have enough chargers for peak demand, the wait times are going to be unlike what we see with gas stations,” he says. Charging dead bones will be larger as more Americans consider an EV. Renters who do not have the option to install a home charges will be hesitant to go fully electric until they can feel confident a public plug will be there when they need it. And as more households drive only electric vehicles, it will be crucial that people can get to all the places they want to go. In the best case, Michalek envisions public-private cooperation to build a national charging network. The US government has promised to install plugs throughout rural areas, while companies constructing charging stations across America will have a strong motivation to fill in the country’s biggest cities. After all, companies like Electrify America, EV go, and Charge Point charge customers of energy they use. 43. It can be learned from the 2nd paragraph that ______. A. there is a shortage of charging stations in the rural areas of America B. it takes about 15 minutes for an average charge to charge a battery-powered car 第 10 页 共 15 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) C. more electric vehicles are sold than fossil-fuel burning cars in large cities in America D. there are enough charges in America considering the limited sales of new electric vehicles 44. Which of the following statements would Michalek most probably agree with ? A. Companies setting up charging stations are hesitant to go electric. B. Those who already have a home charge don’t have to find a public plug. C. Top priority needs to be given to adding more charging stations across the country. D. There is enough time to establish a charging network, because not many EVs are uscd. 45. What can be inferred about the renters ? A. Some renters don’t have the intention to go electric. B. Some renters might not be authorized to install a home charge. C. As more renters are unwilling to use public plugs, the charging dead bones are growing. D. Some renters might not have enough confidence in the public plugs for the safety reasons. 46. Who does Michalek expect to work together to establish the charging network nationwide? A. The government and some companies. B. The local government and every household. C. The charging facility providers and every family. . D The federal government and the local rural government. Section C Directions: road the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentenced than you need. As a botanists who studies our cultural relationship with plants, I am forever fascinated with what draws people to gardening. Admittedly, connecting with the natural world might seem like an obvious motivation, and undoubtedly it is a key part of the attraction.___47___ If they were, we’d abandon any attempts at design, planting or care and watch how walls of weeds slowly gave way to the mass of bushes. But that wouldn’t be gardening, of course, because for all their diversity, the one thing that all gardens have in common is how unnatural they are.___48___ Dazzling plants, watch features and glorious blooms is all interconnected well beyond what would naturally occur. Whether it is green lawns created in the driest deserts or a tropical paradise on a stormy North Atlantic island, they are all about shaping the natural world to fit our idea of what it “ should” be.

Summary Writing 51. Directions: road 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. A plan to restore green spaces The UK government has revealed a plan to protect and restore England’s wild life. It focuses on at-risk species by making canals, rivers and streams cleaner and expanding green spaces. The new Environmental Improvement Plan sets goals to create or restore more than 5,000 square kilometres of wildlife habitats across England and restore 400 miles of rivers. It will create or expand 25 national nature reserves. New woodland will also be planted alongside rivers. At the moment, access to green spaces is not equal across the UK. Around 4% of people live more than 10 minutes away from their nearest park. The Environmental Improvement Plan aims to make sure households in England are within a 15-minute walk to a green space. As well as helping more people to act close to nature, the plan should increase England’s biodiversity. A species Survival Fund will be set up to help some of England’s most endangered animals, such as red squirrels (松鼠) and watch rats. The Government has set targets to boost these species by 2030. There are also targets to reduce food 第 12 页 共 15 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) waste, glass, metal, paper and plastic by 2028, and to improve the quality of water in rivers. New rules mean that the Government will have to consider the environmental effects of any policy it puts forward. These goals are part of a 25- year plan that was launched in 2018. The aim of the plan is to improve the environment “within a generation ” which is roughly 25 years. Although lots of people have welcomed the plan, not everyone is impressed. Pail de Zylva, from the charity Friends of the Earth, said it wasn’t clear enough how the goals would be met and that many of them were like promises the Government had already made but not yet delivered. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅴ.
