35、n writes letters lots of letters. One day last spring, she even wrote to Doug, her mail carrier. “I want to thank you for taking my letters and delivering them,” she said. “You are very important to me.”In no time at all, Emersons simple thank-you note was shared around the United States Postal Serv
36、ice (USPS). Many of the workers who read it wrote her back. Her father was so moved by the response that he took to Twitter to share his appreciation for the outpouring of love.“Emerson, my 11-year-old, is on a bit of a wild ride with the USPS and our local mail carrier, Doug.” The next day after Em
37、erson gave Doug the letter, a package arrived with two letters. Doug had shared Emersons letter with his supervisor, Sara, and they both wanted to share how touched they were.The next week, they got a letter addressed to “Mr. and Mrs. Weber”. It seemed that Sara had shared Emersons note as a “Token
38、of Thanks” in the internal USPS newsletter, and there were postal folks that wanted to thank her.That day, the family saw Doug getting out of the truck with two BOXES of letters from around the country. These letters were so deeply human. They were filled with family, pets, hobbies, community, and a
39、n overwhelming sense of kindness.But there was something more in these letters. People felt seen some for the first time in a long time. “I work alone in a small rural post office .” “My kids all live far away .” “Not a lot of people think about how hard we work .”One wrote, “I cant tell you how muc
40、h it means to read your letter .”With dozens of new pen pals, Emerson did what she does best.She wrote.She acknowledged that there WERE a lot of letters, but she read them all.“Im not sharing this because Im a proud dad,” her father wrote on Twitter. “Im sharing it because it is relatively easy, if
41、we take the time, to give others the one thing they need to be well human connection. Emerson does this boldly. Her lesson to me was simple: Its the small things that matter most.”Send a letter.

Loving and grateful.【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在流感大流行期间，许多人都感到孤独害怕的时候，Emerson Weber用写信的方式给人们传递温暖和力量。【24题详解】细节理解题
44、。根据第二段中“Her father was so moved by the response that he took to Twitter to share his appreciation for the outpouring of love.(她的父亲被这些回复深深打动，他在推特上分享了他对这份爱的感激之情)”可知，Mr. Weber在推特上分享Emerson的故事是因为被读者的回复打动了。故选A项。【25题详解】推理判断题。根据本文第一句“Many people have felt isolated and afraid during the pandemic this year,
45、and the Weber family is no different. (在今年的流感大流行期间，许多人感到孤立和害怕，Weber一家也不例外)”以及后文Emerson的行动可知，Emerson用写信的方式让人们在流感的孤立害怕时期感到了人与人之间的温暖，再根据最后一段Emerson的父亲在推特上所说“Im sharing it because it is relatively easy, if we take the time, to give others the one thing they need to be well human connection. (我分享它是因为，如果我
46、们花时间，给别人他们所需要的东西是相对容易的那就是良好的人际关系)”可推知，这些信就是人与人之间的联系纽带。故选C项。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中Emerson 信中所说的“I want to thank you for taking my letters and delivering them(我想感谢你收下我的信并把它们寄出去)”和后文所说他的感谢信被广泛分享，以及他写的那么多信给人们送去关心和温暖可知，Emerson是个充满爱心和感恩心的孩子。故选D项。CWhat does it mean to live a good life? This question has been
47、debated for centuries. In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice. But what if these arent the only options?In recent years a long-neglected version o
48、f the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life. It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences. Sometimes they are neither pleasant nor meaningful. However, they are r
49、arely boring or monotonous.After all, both happy and meaningful lives can become monotonous and repetitive. A person with a steady office job, married with children, may be satisfied and find his or her life meaningful and still be bored. Also, the psychologically rich life doesnt necessarily involv
50、e economic richness. For instance, consider Hesses character Goldmund, who has no money but pursues the life of a free spirit.Research has found psychological richness is related to, but partially distinct from, both happy and meaningful lives. Psychological richness is related with openness to expe
51、rience and experiencing both positive and negative emotions more intensely. But is the psychologically rich life one that people actually want?In a new study, Oishi and his colleagues asked people in nine countries the degree to which they value a psychologically rich life, a happy life and a meanin
52、gful life. They found many peoples self-described ideal lives involve psychological richness. When forced to choose a life, however, the majority chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.
53、8% in Germany.These numbers went up when the desire for a psychologically rich life was measured indirectly. To understand what a person wishes their lives might have been, it is important to explore what people wish they had avoided in their lives. When asked what they regret most and whether undoi
54、ng this event would have made their lives happier, more meaningful or psychologically richer, about 28% of Americans said undoing the regrettable event would have made their lives psychologically richer.These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in their lives,
55、 a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence.As Oishi and his colleagues conclude “We believe that taking the psychologically rich life seriously will deepen and enrich our understanding of well-being.” At the end of the day, there is no one singularly accep
56、table path to the good life. You have to find a path that works best for you.27. According to the passage, the psychologically rich life _.A. means living a luxurious lifeB. involves various intense emotionsC. combines pleasure with purposeD. emphasizes openness and repetition28. What does Oishis re
57、search indicate?A. The Germans prefer psychological richness to a happy life.B. Undoing regrettable events has enriched many peoples lives.C. A hidden desire for psychological richness exists among some people.D. People with psychological richness tend to describe their lives as ideal.29. We can lea
58、rn from the passage that _.A. purpose outweighs pleasure in terms of significanceB. the choice of a good life differs from person to personC. a positive mindset helps us understand our well-beingD. we should never be content and always strive for the best30. What is the main purpose of the article?A
59、. To compare different concepts of a good life.B. To explain how to live a psychologically rich life.C. To persuade people to attain psychological richness.D. To draw attention to a less familiar version of a good life.【答案】27. B 28. C 29. B 30. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章提出除了传统观念的好的生活之外，另一种好生活心理丰富的生活应该得到关注。
60、【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It is full of complex mental engagement, a wide range of intense and deep emotions, and diverse, novel, surprising and interesting experiences.”（它充满了复杂的心理参与，广泛的强烈和深刻的情感，以及多样的、新奇的、惊奇的和有趣的体验。）可知，心理丰富的生活包含了各种强烈的情感。故选B。2.细节理解题。根据倒第二段“These findings suggest that while most people str
61、ive to be happy and have meaning in their lives, a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence.”（这些发现表明，虽然大多数人努力让自己快乐，让自己的生活有意义，但仍有相当数量的人仅仅满足于心理上丰富的生活。）可知，Oishi的调查显示在一些人当中，隐藏着一种对心理丰富的渴望。故选C。3.推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句“When forced to choose a life, however, the majority
62、chose a happy life and a meaningful life. Even so, a minority of people still favored the psychologically rich life, ranging from 6.7% in Singapore to 16.8% in Germany.”（然而，当被迫选择一种生活时，大多数人选择了幸福的生活和有意义的生活。即便如此，仍有一小部分人青睐心理富裕的生活，从新加坡的6.7%到德国的16.8%不等。）可知，对于好的生活的选择因人而异。故选B。4.推理判断题。文章第一段中提出问题“What does it
63、 mean to live a good life? ”（过好生活意味着什么?）并指出“In the field of psychology, two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular: A happy life full of pleasure and positive emotions, and a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice.”（在心理学领域，关于美好生活的两个主要概念一直很流行：一个是充满快乐和积极情绪的幸福生活，一个是充满目标和牺牲的有意义的生活
64、。）然后提出问题“But what if these arent the only options?”（但如果这些不是唯一的选择呢?）所以文章的目的是想提出一种不与传统概念相同的另一种好的生活的选择，并在第二段中提出“In recent years, a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention: the psychologically rich life.”（近年来，一个长期被忽视的美好生活的版本越来越受到关注：心理丰富的生活。）可知这篇文章的主要目的是让人们注意到不太熟悉的美好生
65、活。故选D。DOn August 28th, at a presentation over the Internet, Mr. Musk showed off the progress of his firm, Neuralink. The highlight was the appearance of Gertrude, a pig with a chip implanted (植入) into her brain.Reading the brains electrical signals, a technique called electroencephalography (EEG), s
66、tarted over 100 years ago and is now routine. It generally involves placing non-invasive electrodes (非侵入式电极) on the scalp (头皮), though it sometimes requires the invasive insertion of wires into the scalp or the brain. Non-invasive EEG provides useful information, and can even be used to do things li
67、ke playing computer games. Invasive EEG offers more accurate readings from the nerve cells in the brain, though at greater risk because of the surgery involved. The device Gertrude carries, known technically as a brain-computer interface (接口), carries invasiveness one stage further by making the EEG
68、 recorder a potentially permanent implant.Along with this improved interface, Neuralink has built a robot that will implant it. To do so, the robot first takes a high-resolution scan of the recipients brain. Using this, it is able to sew the electrode threads into place with a precision that avoids
69、any blood tubes in the area, which reduces the risk of damage during surgery. The robot can put the interface in place in less than an hour. General anesthesia (麻醉) is not needed for the procedure.One challenge the firm wants to tackle is sending electrical signals into the brain. Mr. Musk says this
70、 will require a range of inputs including delicate stimulation and large amounts of currents. The point of doing so will be to establish two-way communications. This could allow entirely new areas of treatment to be explored. Besides epilepsy (癫痫) prevention, such brain stimulation might also work t
71、o treat depression. More important in the long run, it is also essential to Musks vision of widespread engagement between people and machines. This, he hopes, will result in a future where memories can be downloaded and stored elsewhere, and humans can form a relationship with AI that is mutually de
72、pendent and beneficial.Not everyone is impressed. Critics worry that Neuralink is too secretive, and that Mr. Musks vision promises more than he can deliver. He does, though, have a record of doing what he says he is going to, despite the fact that sometimes not as rapidly as he says he will. He mor
73、e or less single-handedly introduced battery-electric cars to the market and he built a successful space-rocket business out of nothing. Brains are a lot more complicated than cars, and even than rocket science. But do not bet against the coming into being at some point of the Musk vision of brains
74、and computers working together directly.31. What can we learn about EEG?A. EEG requires the insertion of electrodes.B. Non-invasive EEG is superior in safety and speed.C. Invasive EEG functions better in reading nerve cells.D. EEG can be updated by using the brain-computer interface.32. In Paragraph
75、 3, the author describes the implantation to show _.A. the advantages of using the robotB. the simplicity of the procedureC. the improvement of the interfaceD. the possible risks of the surgery33. According to the text, _.A. Musk achieves more in brain study than in rocket scienceB. brain stimulatio
76、n is crucial for people-machine interactionC. new methods of treatment have been researched and createdD. the firm has difficulty finding the right kind of input for brains34. Whats the authors attitude towards Musks vision?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Doubtful.D. Neutral.【答案】31. C 32. A 33. B 34. A【解
77、析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了马斯克的公司正在利用脑电图（EEG）的技术向大脑发送电子信号，他希望人类可以与人工智能建立一种相互依赖和有益的关系。但这一愿景想要实现很困难。【31题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段第四句“Invasive EEG offers more accurate readings from the nerve cells in the brain, though at greater risk because of the surgery involved.(侵入性脑电图可以从大脑中的神经细胞获得更精确的数据，但由于涉及到手术，风险更大)”可知，EEG侵入性脑电图
78、在读取神经细胞时功能更好。故选C项。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后三句“Using this, it is able to sew the electrode threads into place with a precision that avoids any blood tubes in the area, which reduces the risk of damage during surgery. The robot can put the interface in place in less than an hour. General anesthesia (麻醉)
79、is not needed for the procedure. (使用这种技术，它能够精确地将电极线缝合到合适的位置，避免任何血管进入该区域，从而降低了手术中损伤的风险。这个机器人可以在不到一小时的时间内安装好接口。手术过程中不需要全身麻醉)”可推知，作者描述了植入是为了描述使用机器人的好处。故选A项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段五六两句“Besides epilepsy (癫痫) prevention, such brain stimulation might also work to treat depression. More important in the long
80、 run, it is also essential to Musks vision of widespread engagement between people and machines.

92、【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对失眠和孤独之间的联系进行了研究，并且提出了如何解决此问题的建议。【详解】1.根据前文“It is not quite the same as the amount of social contact you have. ”（这和你拥有的社会联系的数量是不一样的。）可知，下文应分别陈述不同的人对社交量的需求。根据前文“Some people dont engage that often with others, but they are perfectly fine with that, and so they dont feel alone.”（有些人并不
93、经常与他人交往，但他们对此完全没有问题，所以他们并不感到孤独。）可推知，设空处应陈述与之相反的情况。选项C（有些人可能花很多时间与他人在一起，但仍然渴望更多）切合文意，选项中的other people对应上文的some people。故选C。2.根据第二段第一句“One area of research has focused specifically on the relationship between loneliness and sleep”（其中一个研究领域专门关注孤独和睡眠之间的关系）可知，第二段主要是讲孤独和睡眠的关系，对应选项C中的poor sleep can affect p
94、sychological health。所以选项C（这些问题很重要，因为睡眠不好会影响心理健康。）切合文意，且选项中的These issues对应前文中提到的三个问题。故选D。3.根据前文“They analyzed the data of previous studies relating sleep quality to feelings of loneliness. ”（他们分析了之前有关睡眠质量与孤独感的研究数据。）可推知，设空处应陈述他们分析数据得出的结果，所以选项G（研究结果表明，人们表现出的睡眠问题越多，他们就会感到越孤独。）切合文意，选项中的The results对应上文的an

96、“If you are someone who has trouble sleeping, be aware that poor sleep lowers your resilience (复原力) overall. Among other things, it may make it harder for you to appreciate the social contacts you have.”（如果你有睡眠问题，要注意睡眠会降低你的复原力。此外，它会让你很难享受你所拥有的社会联系）和下文“ That added social engagement just might have a
97、positive impact on your future sleep.”（增加社交活动可能会对你未来的睡眠产生积极影响。）可推知，设空处应陈述解决这种问题的方法。所以选项F（如果你有睡眠问题，试着花更多的时间联系朋友和爱人。）切合文意，下文的that对应选项中的try spending more time reaching out to friends and loved ones.。故选F。第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）第一节 阅读表达（共4小题；第40、41小题各2分，第42小题3分，第43小题5分，共12分）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。“One persons tras
