1、全卷卷满分120分 考试时间90分钟第一部分 听力：略第二部分 阅读理解（共两小节，满分50分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）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。AYou are about to hear a strange but true story. Legend has it that, Harry Houdini, the master magician, once claimed that he could break out of any jail cell in the world. All he had to do wa
2、s walk into that jail cell with his streets clothes on. “I will be out of there in one hour. No problem!” He said. A very old jail down South hear about Houdinis claims and they accepted the challenge. On the day of the event, many people gathered outside. Very confidently, Houdini walked into the j
3、ail and into the cell and they shut the metal door behind him.The first thing Houdini did was to take off his coat. Then, very strangely, he took off his belt. Secretly hidden in Houdinis belt, was a ten-inch piece of steel; very tough and very flexible and Houdini started working.In about 30 minute
4、s, that confident expression Houdini had when he walked in disappeared. In one hour, he was bathed in sweat. And at the end of two hours, Houdini in defeat, collapsed against the door, which then opened. It opened because you you see, that door had never been locked. But thats not entirely true is i
5、t? That door was locked. It was firmly and thoroughly locked in Houdinis mind, which meant it was locked as if the best locksmith in the world had put his lock on it.The mind is powerful. How many doors in your life do you think are locked but arent? How many times have you been stuck in the mental
6、prison of over thinking something that really had a simple solution. There is an ancient African proverb that says when there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm.Your mind is the most powerful force you will ever face. It will tell you lies. It will tell you cant do that. Youre n
7、ot meant for that. Youre not good enough for that. You cant go on anymore. You dont have the energy. You must thank it for its opinion and carry on. Because as Houdini showed us the only locked doors that exist are in your own mind. The doors in reality are open and all you have to do is walk throug
8、h.21. Why couldnt Harry Houdini open the door within two hours?A. Because he didnt open the door with his mind.B. Because the door was locked by the best locksmith.C. Because he had thought the door was locked.D. Because he overestimated his own ability to open the door.22. Which of the following st
9、ory shows the “locked door” in our mind?A. Bring the painted dragon to life by putting in the pupils of its eyes.B. One tends to stand still and refuse to make progress.C. The donkey has exhausted its skill against the tiger.D. Lock the stable door after the horsed has been stolen.23. We can conclud
10、e from the passage EXCEPT _A. The biggest enemy in your life is in fact the enemy in your mind.B. If you walk through the door in mind, your potential will be unlimited.C. Unless you defeat the enemy outside, you will not defeat your enemy inside.D. Life is really simple, but we insist on making it
11、rigid and complicated.BPeople are more willing to change their mind about people they initially hold. Common wisdom holds that negative first impressions are hard to shakeand some research backs this up. But such studies often unfairly compare impressions based on immoral deeds that are extreme and
12、relatively rare with impressions based on kindnesses that are more common. A new set of studies involving precisely balanced behaviors finds that people are more willing to change their mind about individuals who initially come off as selfish than about those they think selfless.In three of the expe
13、riments, 336 laboratory and online participants read about two people who each made a series of 50 decisions regarding how many electric shocks to give someone in exchange for money. One fictional subject required more money per shock than the average person did to inflict (施加) pain on others. The o
14、thers price-per-shock threshold (界限) was comparably lower than the average persons. Study participants read about each subjects decisions one at a time. Before seeing each decision, they predicted what it would be. After every three decisions the fictional subject made, participants rated the indivi
15、dual on a scale from “nasty” to “nice,” and then specified their confidence in the rating.As expected, participants rated the person who gave shocks for a lower price as nastier than the higher-price shocker. But they expressed less confidence in the “nasty” ratings, and their predictions of how man
16、y shocks that person would give fluctuated (波动) more. In other words, their beliefs about the “bad” subject were more changeable. “A well-designed brain system would not write someone off completely at the first sign of trouble,” says Molly Crockett, a psychologist at Yale University.The test scenar
17、ios (情况) are a far cry from real-world interactions. Still, the experiment offers “a really elegant pattern that drills down on a question thats so central to our everyday human life,” says Peter Mende-Siedlecki, a psychologist at the University of Delaware.24. According to the passage, what does th
18、e new set of studies find?A. Bad first impressions may be lasting.B. Bad first impressions are not set in stone.C. People often judge others by first impressions.D. People are reluctant to change first impressions.25. What are the researchers findings based on?A. The number of electric shocks someon
19、e was given.B. Some specific laboratory and online questionnaires.C. Comparisons between decisions made by two subjects.D. An analysis of information collected from participants.26. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 means “_”.A. very secure B. much different C. completely hidden D. almost withdra
20、wnCFor many, scientific innovations tend to be welcome advancements that improve our lives. For some, however, new technologies bring risk of uselessness, in turn leading to great resistance. With the climate crisis unfolding before our eyes, the race is on to find alternatives that will help humani
21、ty leave a smaller footprint on our planet. Because of animal agricultures leading role as a greenhouse gas emitter, the search for more sustainable protein sources could be one such alternative. As food tech companies use science to unlock the potential of plant proteins, theyre producing increasin
22、gly better plant-based meats and milks that look and taste like the real thing, but with a much lower carbon footprint. Some in the meat industry are supporting the new and investing in these alt-protein companies. For some lawmakers, however, these innovative products dont deserve support; they des
23、erve restriction. Missouri State, for example, recently passed a bill making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for companies to call their products meat if they dont come from an animal. So why the mania (狂热) over meat and milk all of a sudden? Was there a consumer who brought home some pies lab
24、eled plant-based meat only to realize he was tricked? Did confused milk-drinkers file complaints with the Department of Agriculture when they found out their soymilk didnt contain actual milk? There really are some consumers who are truly confused. Surveys show, however, that number is remarkably sm
25、all. If anything, consumers are choosing these plant-based products specifically because they think theyre better for them than the original products. And they have good reason to believe that plant-based milks and meats usually have less fat and more fiber than comparable animal-based foods. So, co
26、nsumers arent confusing veggie bacon for real bacon; and if they dont think chicken nuggets have the same nutritional value as chicken-free nuggets, then why do some meat and milk groups want a monopoly (垄断) over the M-words? Could it have to do with the fact that the increasing popularity of these
27、foods, which are more sustainable and better for you, is threatening the profits of their constituents? And with the future of our civilization hanging in the balance as climate change becomes more severe, its time for policy makers to stop trying to prevent innovation, and instead to celebrate all
28、the ways science can save us, including with sustainable proteins that can and do produce new kinds of meat. 27. What can be learned about the M-word applied to plant-based substitutes? A. They are environmentally friendly. B. They are innovative and widely accepted. C. They have been restricted acr
29、oss America. D. They have been produced in large quantities. 28. From the passage we can learn that consumers _. A. have sufficient faith in new science and technology B. prefer the original products to the plant-based products C. buy the plant-based products for their great benefit to health D. oft
30、en get confused by the composition of the new kind of meat 29. According to the author, some people resist the new kind of food probably because _. A. it contains no real meat B. it brings risks to society C. it plays a trick on customers D. it poses a threat to their profits 30.Whats the authors at
31、titude towards the plant-based products? A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Ambiguous. D.

I opene

Should I tell her I didnt cry when someone posted my picture and commented, “Im sorry, but arent authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?”Does she

Its possible shell remember what I say forever, and I have no idea what to say. So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true. I say to
38、my daughter, “I love you, and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you. But Im disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isnt one of them. ”Lucy nods, tears on her cheeks. “I wont say that again,” she tells me, and I pull
