BThe idea to transform a mini treehouse into a school office didnt come to Williams at the start of COVID-19 pandemic. At first, l
17、ike thousands of other school teachers, she tried to work from home. She has two daughters and her husband at home, and they have a cat and two quite large dogs. There are four of them in the house all doing jobs and distance learning. Surrounded by her own family, she had a hard time concentrating.
18、 It was Williamss friend who drew her attention to the cozy treehouse, where Nelles daughters once played when they were smaller. Their friend Corey Hannah looked up and said, “you know, I think that should be your classroom for the year.” And so they thought about it and it sounded silly at first,
19、but the next day they decided to go to Home Depot and Lowes and look around, and then they said “Okay. Lets do it!”The first thing to go through a transformation was a rope ladder. Williams needed something strong enough for her new office. The porch needed to be redone, so she went to pick out her
20、favourite colors to paint it. Inside the treehouse, the ceiling and walls needed to be properly insulated (隔热). The floor was fully changed as well. Most importantly, Williams made sure there was Internet access. Her husband and his friend Alex dug a 150-foot trench to bury the cable, and drilled a
21、hole into their house and its it. They worked all summer and finished just in time for the new school year. Williams often has company in her treehouse office: her cat and dogs pop by. Her students love the space and often say “Oh I want one, I want one.” And since most of them chose distant learnin
22、g in the spring semester as well, Williams will spend at least the next six months hard at work up in a tree. 24. What finally made Williams start her treehouse project?A. The advice from Corey Hannah. B. The inspiration from her daughter. C. The visit to Home Depot and Lowes. D. The encouragement f
23、rom her husband. 25. What is essential for the treehouse as an office?A. The colour of the porch.B. The ladder into the house. C. The repair of the floor.D. The access to the Internet. 26. How did the students feel when seeing their teachers treehouse office?A. Amazed.B. Doubtful.C. Proud.D. Distrac

The decoration of a treehouse office. CHave you ever had such an experience? When chatting on WeChat, you sent someone a voice mes
25、sage where you thought your voice was clear and moving, but when you heard your own recorded voice, you couldnt help wondering: Is this really my voice? Why is it so ugly?Its not your fault. The discomfort we have over hearing our voices in audio recordings is probably due to a mix of physiology (生理
26、学) and psychology. For one, the sound from an audio recording is transmitted differently to your brain compared with the sound made when you speak. When listening to a recording of your voice, the sound travels through the air and into your earswhats referred to as “air conduction”. However, while s
27、ome of the sound is transmitted through air conduction, much of the sound is internally conducted directly through your head when you speak. Thus, people generally learn their voice as deeper and richer. The recorded voice, in comparison, can sound thinner and higher, which many find annoying. Anoth
28、er reason why hearing a recording of your voice can be so discomforting is that it really is a new voiceone that exposes a difference between your self-perception and reality. Dr Silke Paulmann, a psychologist at the University of Essex, says, “we sound more high-pitched than what we think we should
29、, which makes us uneasy as it doesnt meet our internal expectations; our voice plays a massive role in forming our identity and I guess no one likes to realize that youre not really who you think you are.”So if the voice in your head criticizes the voice coming out of a recording device, its probabl
30、y your inner critic overreactingand youre judging yourself a bit too harshly. 28. What does the author think of the fact that people dislike their recorded voices?A. Instructive.B. Ridiculous.C. Reasonable.D. Confusing. 29. What does the underlined word “transmitted” mean in paragraph 3?A. declaredB
31、. passedC. guidedD. admitted30. What would the author agree about the recorded voice?A. Scientists can make it meet our expectation. B. People dont have to care about its difference. C. It travels in the air faster than our own sound. D. It narrows the gap between self-expectation and reality. 31. W
32、hat problem does the author focus on in the text?A. How do people chat politely on WeChat?B. What do the recorded messages contain?C. How do people change their recorded voice?D. Why do you hate your own recorded voice?DExtreme heat often brings extreme wildfires, and this year is no exception, with
33、 heat waves fueling giant outbreaks of fires in the western United States and Canada, as well as across the Mediterranean and in Siberia. However, the wildfires can have the opposite effect on temperatures, cooling Earths surface regionally and globally. Thick wildfire smoke can temporarily block su
34、nlight near the ground, causing regional temperatures to drop by several degrees. Wildfire smoke can also have global cooling effects by making clouds in the lower atmosphere more reflective or blocking sunlight in the upper atmosphere, similar to what a volcanic eruption does. Scientists have only
35、recently begun studying these effects, with Australias record 2019-2020 bushfire season marking the first time researchers detected wildfire smoke-caused global cooling. The effect is far too small to balance human-caused global warming, but beyond that, researchers say its too early to predict what
36、 it means for the broader climate system. But with fire seasons growing severer around the world and this summer witnessing much extreme fire weather in North America and elsewhere, the search for answers is growing increasingly urgent. Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research repo
37、rted that those Australian fires poured so much smoke into the Southern Hemispheres (南半球) atmosphere which caused a “strong and rapid” global cooling effect of about 0.06 (0.01F). According to the lead study author John Fasullo, this was largely due to how smoke particles (颗粒) interact with clouds i
38、n the lower atmosphere. While Fasullos research highlights the cooling effects of smoke in the lower atmosphere, on occasion, wildfire smoke rushes into the higher atmosphere. There, it can have additional effects on the climate, which is something that is poorly known. “We might still be in the ini
39、tial stage of understanding how large and how important the effects of these wildfires are,” says Sergey Khaykin, a fire weather expert at Sorbonne University in France. 32. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A. Wildfire breaks out more often now. B. Wildfire smoke cools Earths surface
40、. C. Regional temperatures increase due to wildfire. D. Volcanic eruption affects the upper atmosphere. 33. What can we infer about the effects mentiond in panagraph 3?A. They are too small to be noticed.B. They can be accurately predictedC. They deserve an in-depth study.D. They can improve the glo
41、bal climate. 34. How does the author prove the global cooling effect in paragraph 4?A. By giving an example.B. By listing figures. C. By making comparisons.D. By doing an experiment. 35. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A. Climate change is in need of a global soluti
42、on. B. The higher wildfire smoke rushes, the cooler it gets. C. Weather experts are satisfied with Fasullos research.D. The influence of wildfires needs to be explored further. 第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Procrastination (拖延症) is often seen as the enemy of productivity
43、. Images of lazy people with feet up on desks or wasting time to avoid work spring to mind at the very mention of the word. And there are many things indicating that procrastination is a problem which needs addressing. 36 We live in a fast-paced world, racing from one task to another. And at times,
44、duties, be it work or personal, seem endless. Sometimes we just need to switch off and relax ourselves. 37 According to psychotherapist F Diane Barth, watching TV, taking a long bath or listening to music can help us to ease off. And its possible that procrastination has become more common during th
45、e pandemic. 38 We dont have the hours of commutes or options of social activities we once took for granted. Being at home, we have found that extra relaxation can help us to be more productive or creative in the long run, allowing us to clear our minds and focus better. 39 And we almost develop a se
46、nse of guilt related to not making the most of every moment. German sociologist Max Weber says that weve almost got to the point of believing that the busier we are, the better, and that there is a sense of morality connected with time usage. It seems important to remember that taking a little time
47、away from yourself doesnt mean being lazy. While being productive is important, it seems that some amount of downtime and procrastination can help us to relax and become more focused 40 You might just like itA. Then how can we handle the problem?B. But could there be some benefits too?C. So the next
48、 time you feel stressed, just waste a little time. D. The time we spend watching TV or drinking coffee is wasted. E. The issue is that many of us see that time not working as lost time. F. As a result of the lockdowns, we have found ourselves with more time.G. A little procrastination can help relie
49、ve us of the pressures of modem life. 第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Growing up in Kolkata, I longed for a hike in the Himalayas, the glacial source of the Ganges River.
