As a work-from-home mother of three, I’ve spent my life avoiding uncomfortable situations. One fall morning, I was on a routine walk with a friend, when I mentioned that I felt trapped by my commitment to familiarity but didn’t know how to be brave and branch out.
“Starting today, do something small every day that terrifies you,” she suggested. Knowing that something in my life needed to shift, I gave myself perm ii on to explore new and frightening chances.
My profession as a heath coach centered on work with individual clients in my home office. When asked to do a presentation on healthy eating for the school board, I recognized that as a signal not to shy away from growth, learning and overcoming my limitations. My wise friend’s advice became my life guideline. I felt confident and capable for the first time in my life.
This newfound bravery was challenged one day when my husband presented me with the possibility of working in Turkey. For years, he’d dreamed of moving our family overseas to pursue a different career. Held back by fear, never before would I have considered taking this giant leap of faith. But I was capable of anything.
I knew the moment I said it that we’d move to Turkey. Every day leading up to the arriving trucks was filled with opportunities to practice hugging fear. Six months later, we unpacked our bags in our small city apartment and showed our children the view from their new bedroom window. One year into our life abroad, in a country where I don’t speak the language, I get to try and fail, feel fear and be brave every day.
Accepting and seeking opportunities that scare me has taught me that, regardless of the comfort of my surroundings, I’ll be okay. Without fear, I’d still be at my regular drive-through asking for the sandwich instead of sitting in a café telling the waiter to “surprise me”.
24. What was the cause of the fear the author felt?
A. She lived a hard and unpredictable life.
B. Her days were packed with small worries.
C. Everything was familiar and safe for her.
D. She suffered when pursuing her career.
25. What had the author’s husband dreamed of doing?
A. Starting a different career abroad.
B. Helping the author out of her fear.
C. Having his children study abroad.
D. Doing remote work as a health coach.
26. How did the author react to her husband’s suggestion?
A. She turned to her friend for some advice.
B. She felt capable of living alone at home.
C. She refused the offer for fear of a change.
D She took it as a way of self-improvement.
27. What lesson does the author draw from her experience?
A. Comfort zone is a block to one’s progress.
B. It’s beneficial to step into the world of fear.
C. It takes great skills to overcome one’s fear.
D. Knowing the language is a must living abroad.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是夾敘夾議文。作為居家辦公的女性,作者覺得自己的生活太安逸,但是又害怕生活的變化。后來,作者逐漸戰(zhàn)勝恐懼,迎來生活的一個個變化。
【24題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“As a work-from-home mother of three, I’ve spent my life avoiding uncomfortable situations. One fall morning, I was on a routine walk with a friend, when I mentioned that I felt trapped by my commitment to familiarity but didn’t know how to be brave and branch out. (作為一個在家工作的三個孩子的母親,我一生都在避免不舒服的情況。一個秋天的早晨,我和一個朋友例行散步,我提到我被自己對熟悉的東西的奉獻所束縛,但不知道如何勇敢和開拓。)”可知,作者一直避免待在會令自己感到不舒服的處境下,但同時她又覺得熟悉感把她困住了,讓她不敢勇敢地涉足新事物。故選C。
【25題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“For years, he’d dreamed of moving our family overseas to pursue a different career. (多年來,他一直夢想著把我們?nèi)野岬胶M?,從事不同的職業(yè)。)”可知,作者的丈夫一直夢想去國外開拓新的職場生涯。故選A。
【26題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段“I knew the moment I said it that we’d move to Turkey. Every day leading up to the arriving trucks was filled with opportunities to practice hugging fear. Six months later, we unpacked our bags in our small city apartment and showed our children the view from their new bedroom window. One year into our life abroad, in a country where I don’t speak the language, I get to try and fail, feel fear and be brave every day. (我一開口就知道我們要搬到土耳其了。在卡車抵達之前的每一天都充滿了練習(xí)擁抱恐懼的機會。六個月后,我們在小城市的公寓里打開行李,向孩子們展示了他們新臥室窗戶的景色。我們在國外生活一年后,在一個我不會說這種語言的國家,我每天都在嘗試失敗,感到恐懼和勇敢。)”可知,作者同意了丈夫的建議,全家搬去另外一個國家生活和工作。她把新生活帶來的恐懼和挑戰(zhàn)當(dāng)成走出舒適區(qū)、自我提升的一種方式。故選D。
【27題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Accepting and seeking opportunities that scare me has taught me that, regardless of the comfort of my surroundings, I’ll be okay. Without fear, I’d still be at my regular drive-through asking for the sandwich instead of sitting in a café telling the waiter to “surprise me”. (接受和尋找讓我害怕的機會教會了我,無論周圍環(huán)境多么舒適,我都會沒事的。不用擔(dān)心,我仍然會在常規(guī)的免下車餐廳要三明治,而不是坐在咖啡館里告訴服務(wù)員“給我一個驚喜”。)”可知,如果沒有恐懼和害怕,作者就不會走出自己的安樂窩去尋找機會,所以踏入恐懼的世界對作者來說是有益的。故選B。
C
The painting “Portrait(肖像) of Omai” was finished in 1774 and was sold to John Magnier in 2001. When he wants to take the painting out of the country, the government believes it’s important for Britain and stops him doing so. Yet British buyers can’t raise the money needed to get it from Mr. Magnier before the deadline of a ban one exporting it. A solution may now involve Getty Museum in Los Angeles; it could be a model for her treasured artworks too expensive for the nation to buy.
Most countries have export restrictions on their cultural treasures. Many European counts a low the government to step in and buy any work offered for sale. Britain operates a system called Waverley standards, balancing the aims of keeping important pieces and protecting the rights of their owners. Valuable pieces are evaluated at monthly meetings of a committee of owners, dealers and art historians. The most important works are kept in Britain temporarily while institutions at home try to raise the funds to buy them.
Mr. Magnier paid £10.3 million for “Portrait of Omai”. Now he wants £50 million for it, a fair value. The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) in London has been trying to raise the cash, but only half the money had been raised. The NPG’s answer is to buy the painting together with the Getty Museum, spending half its time in London and the other half in California. In 2015 a similar arrangement was agreed between France and the Netherlands to share ownership of a pair of important portraits by Rembrandt.
The Waverley standards were meant to keep Brit in’s cultural treasures at home. But protecting an artwork for the nation for some time maybe all that can be achieved. Closed for three years for repair, the NPG hopes it will open its doors again with “Portrait of Omai” as its glory.
28. What can we learn about Magnier from Para. 1?
A. He painted a portrait of an Englishman. B. He wanted to take the painting abroad.
C. He illegally took hold of the paining. D. He solved the problem with a portrait.
29. What do the Waverley standards do to keep cultural treasures at home?
A. They set aside time for home purchase.
B. They checkout annual export licences.
C. They decide a ban on the rare treasures.
D. They advertise the sales of the treasures.
30. What will be the final solution to “Portrait of Omai”?
A. Britain takes it for permanent ownership.
B. Mr. Magnier takes it abroad after the deadline.
C Britain works with France to share its ownership.
D. NPG and the Getty Museum share its ownership.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Cooperation of World’s Galleries B. The Protection of Galleries’ Paintings
C. A New Way to Save Art for the Nation D. A Clever Way to Stop Loss of Paintings
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】

Scientists are working to understand how and where so many birds make annual migrations(遷徙). In some cases, what they have uncovered is more surprising than they could have predicted.
Assessing the progress and its effects is the task of science writer Rebecca Heisman’s first book Flight Paths, providing a look into the drama behind some biggest discoveries in migration research.
In its nine chapters, Flight Paths soars through the history of migration research, from counting passing birds against the moon in the 1950s to the recent use of wearable trackers.
Most people are now familiar with the idea that some birds travel thousands of kilometres seasonally for climate, food or mates, but the scientists first explaining the phenomenon were often laughed at. Advances in technology are finally allowing research to confirm or debunk those early words.
In the 1960s, scientist Ian Nisbet proposed that blackpoll warblers(黑頂白頰林鶯) were taking a far more impressive autumn journey than anyone had thought. As Heisman reports, Nisbet believed they were making the long fight from eastern Canada to South American countries such as Colombia and Brazil. Some thought it strange: how could a bird weighing just 12 grams fly so far over the Atlantic Ocean in days of nonstop flying? Five decades later, researchers confirmed Nisbet’s opinion with a device that uses sunlight to work out a bird’s place at a given time.
Understanding how, why and where birds migrate is more than solving a mystery. It’s critical for future conservation efforts. Migratory species are especially at risk because they rely on a network of healthy, connected habitats. In 2019, a study found that North America alone had lost around a quarter of its birdlife since 1970 when they were migrating, which amounts to around 3 billion individual birds. “If we know where birds are going, we’ll have the information we need to save them,” says Heisman.
Flight Paths is a vital wake-up call to birders, ornithological(鳥類學(xué)的) societies and governments.

A. It has some wrong predictions about bird migrations.
B. It contains findings that may surprise bird scientists.

【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一本由科學(xué)作家瑞貝卡·海思曼創(chuàng)作的小說《翱翔之路》,這本書匯集了科學(xué)家對遷徙的候鳥的研究及成果。
【32題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“Assessing the progress and its effects is the task of science writer Rebecca Heisman’s first book Flight Paths, providing a look into the drama behind some biggest discoveries in migration research.(科學(xué)作家麗貝卡·海斯曼的第一本書《飛行之路》的任務(wù)是評估這一進展及其影響,該書讓我們得以一窺遷徙研究中一些重大發(fā)現(xiàn)背后的戲劇性故事。)”可知,瑞貝卡·海思曼的小說《翱翔之路》描寫的是鳥類遷徙研究中的一些重大發(fā)現(xiàn)。故選C項。
【33題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第四段“Advances in technology are finally allowing research to confirm or debunk those early words.(技術(shù)的進步最終使研究能夠證實或debunk這些早期的話。)”可知,畫線詞的含義與前面的confirm相反,指人們能利用科技的發(fā)展來證明先前的說法是對的,或者證明那些是錯誤的,即揭露虛假陳述。故選D項。
【34題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段“In the 1960s, scientist Ian Nisbet proposed that blackpoll warblers(黑頂白頰林鶯) were taking a far more impressive autumn journey than anyone had thought.As Heisman reports, Nisbet believed they were making the long fight from eastern Canada to South American countries such as Colombia and Brazil.Some thought it strange: how could a bird weighing just 12 grams fly so far over the Atlantic Ocean in days of nonstop flying? (在20世紀60年代,科學(xué)家伊恩·尼斯貝特提出,黑尾鶯的秋季之旅比任何人想象的都要令人印象深刻得多。正如海斯曼所報道的那樣,尼斯貝特認為他們正在從加拿大東部向哥倫比亞和巴西等南美國家進行漫長的戰(zhàn)斗。有些人覺得很奇怪:一只體重只有12克的鳥怎么能在幾天不間斷的飛行中飛越大西洋這么遠?)”可知,在二十世紀六十年代,科學(xué)家伊恩·尼斯貝特認為,黑頂白頰林鶯這種鳥的遷徙之路比人類想象的更壯觀。他認為這些鳥從加拿大東部飛到南美國家,即沿著遷徙路線前進。故選A項。
【35題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第六段“In 2019, a study found that North America alone had lost around a quarter of its birdlife since 1970 when they were migrating, which amounts to around 3 billion individual birds. “If we know where birds are going, we’ll have the information we need to save them,” says Heisman.(2019年,一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn),自1970年鳥類遷徙以來,僅北美就失去了約四分之一的鳥類,相當(dāng)于約30億只鳥。海斯曼說:“如果我們知道鳥類的去向,我們就有了拯救它們所需的信息?!?”可知,遷徙的鳥類會面臨很多風(fēng)險,而2019年的一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn),北美地區(qū)從1970年開始就失去了約四分之一的鳥類。很多鳥兒在遷徙的路上死于各種風(fēng)險。故選B項。
第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)
閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
I believe in the power of old-fashioned letters.

____37____It’s a pleasant surprise to receive a letter from a friend or relative, knowing that someone cares about you, thus enriching a relationship to grow healthily.
When I was 12, my mum made me write letters to a few randomly selected relatives. One of them was my uncle who I’d only met a few times. I wrote along letter detailing my life and interests. Then I forgot about this until I suddenly got a reply from him. “How lovely to hear from you,” he said, and went on to tell me all about his life.____38____
He turned out to be the most fascinating man. When he died, my mum was sad, as they had not been in touch for years.____39____The last one was written a few days before he had died. My mum comforted herself read ng them. Although they hadn’t been in touch, I had grown closet to him by writing to him.____40____It’s something I keep up to this day.
So, I’d encourage you to put pen to paper and see where it leads. What have you got to lose?
A. I went upstairs and took out a box of letters.

C. There’s something unique and special about texts or emails.

【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者與叔叔互相寫信的經(jīng)歷并呼吁大家多和親人、朋友寫信來保持聯(lián)系。
【36題詳解】
根據(jù)后文“It forces you to concentrate and think of interesting and positive things that have happened in your life.(它迫使你集中精力,思考生活中發(fā)生的有趣和積極的事情)”下文提到手寫書信的好處:這能讓寫信人集中思想去想生活中發(fā)生的有趣和正能量的事情。本句作為引出這個觀點的過渡句,故B選項“手寫信件是一種真正的力量”符合語境,故選B。
【37題詳解】
根據(jù)后文“It’s a pleasant surprise to receive a letter from a friend or relative, knowing that someone cares about you, thus enriching a relationship to grow healthily.(收到朋友或親戚的來信是一個驚喜,知道有人關(guān)心你,從而豐富了關(guān)系健康發(fā)展)”可知,本空位于段首,后文說的是收到書信一方的快樂。故E選項“另一方面,收到一封信是一件令人驚喜的事”符合語境,故選E。
【38題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“When I was 12, my mum made me write letters to a few randomly selected relatives. One of them was my uncle who I’d only met a few times. I wrote along letter detailing my life and interests. Then I forgot about this until I suddenly got a reply from him. “How lovely to hear from you,” he said, and went on to tell me all about his life.(當(dāng)我12歲的時候,我媽媽讓我給幾個隨機挑選的親戚寫信。其中一個是我的舅舅,我們只見過幾次面。我寫了一封詳細介紹我的生活和興趣的信。然后我忘記了這件事,直到我突然收到他的回復(fù)。“很高興收到你的來信,”他說,然后繼續(xù)告訴我他的生活)”可知,前文說作者給舅舅寫了信,后來收到舅舅的來信,因此F項符合故事情節(jié)的發(fā)展順序:我們的書信往來持續(xù)了好多年。故F選項“于是我們開始互相寫信,持續(xù)了好幾年”符合語境,故選F。
【39題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“He turned out to be the most fascinating man. When he died, my mum was sad, as they had not been in touch for years.(他原來是最有魅力的人。他去世的時候,我媽媽很傷心,因為他們已經(jīng)很多年沒有聯(lián)系了)”以及后文“The last one was written a few days before he had died. My mum comforted herself read ng them.(最后一封是在他去世前幾天寫的。我媽媽讀著它們來安慰自己)”可知,前文說舅舅去世了,媽媽很傷心,因為媽媽已經(jīng)很久沒有和舅舅聯(lián)系過;下文說媽媽打開這些書信,可知本句是在說明作者拿出自己保存的舅舅的來信。故A選項“我上樓拿出一箱信”符合語境,故選A。
【40題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“Although they hadn’t been in touch, I had grown closet to him by writing to him. (雖然他們沒有聯(lián)系,但我通過給他寫信,對他更親近了)”以及后文“It’s something I keep up to this day.(我一直堅持到今天)”可知,后文提到作者把這個習(xí)慣一直保持到現(xiàn)在,說明一直在堅持寫信。故G選項“從那時起,它鼓勵我給很多其他人寫信”符合語境,故選G。

67. 閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Public places have been difficult for my family since Myles was diagnosed with autism(自閉癥) at two. He had quickly turned into a silent child frozen in a world completely inaccessible to us. One time, I got up the courage to take Myles out to Golden Corral without my husband. Lots of people and noise caused overload for him. First came the screaming, and then more noises. With my nerves stretched thin, I noticed a sweet old lady coming my way.
“Can you keep him quiet?” she snapped. “I’m trying to eat!”
I held my tongue out of respect for my elders. I apologized and left with as much dignity as I could. I had to escape the weight of the eyes around. After that, I built a wall around my heart to protect my heart from other people’s opinions about my family. I still had the great privilege of raising this very special child. It didn’t matter what anyone thought, but I had lost something. I stopped looking for the opportunity to help them understand. I assumed the worst about them.
So when I was back at Golden Corral with my son, who started shouting and hitting the table again, I looked up at the middle-aged woman approaching. Her face was calm as she assessed the situation. If she complained about my son’s behavior, I was prepared to fight back.
“I hope you don’t mind me asking,” she said. “But does your son have autism?”
“Yeah,” I replied to the lady, who was waiting patiently.
“Well, I raised a child with autism. My name is Pam,” she said. “If you ever need any help, please call me. I have connection with a lot of people like you and me.” I looked at the hands she extended, holding a slip of paper with her name and number on it.
“Thank you,” I managed to whisper.
“Call me,” she said, smiling at me, and saving a special, knowing smile for Myles before walking away.

【答案】 Later I called her, and she became as close as family. The moment we met at her home, she greeted me with a sweet smile on her face. I was struck by her patience when dealing with Myles and her kid, who was also suffering from autism. Together we sat in the kitchen, sometimes out in the open, talking and laughing happily. On sunny days, the four of us would hike or go camping in the open. Meanwhile, the two kids seemed to enjoy the company of each other, and things began to improve for them.
Of course, there are moments when we simply felt hopeless. Usually at this time, we would hug each other, saying encouraging words to each other. Pam managed to contact some doctors and experts on autism, and we shared experiences and our vision of the future, believing that things would be all right as long as we stayed positive. Luckily, with our common efforts, the two kids are improving significantly. And I begin to look forward to each day filled with hope.
