21、A while back I caught a news report on something called ―couch surfing and the network of trusting souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into one’s home for one or two nights? Give me a break.

However, I was intrigued. I decided to find it out. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I’ve always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there.

If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved (寡言少语的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me a warm welcome and walking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.

If this was what couch surfing was all about—trust and friendship—then I had gotten off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. What encouraged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives.

Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, it’s this: Most people are good and generous. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I can’t wait to find out.

【1】Which of the following best explains the underlined word in the second paragraph?

A．relaxed.

B．bored.

C．interested.

D．pleased.

【2】What can we know about Ari?

A．He was reserved like most Finns.

B．He talked less but he was friendly.

C．He treated the author as a friend.

D．He saw off the author at the train station.

【3】Why did people offer couch surfing to strangers?

A．To take an adventure with strangers.

B．To exchange houses for a short time.

C．To learn more about others’ family lives.

D．To enrich their own lives by helping others.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Travel on Trust and Couches

B．A Free Travel in Finland

C．Experiences in Strangers’ Houses

D．A Plan for Couch Surfing

22、Crop circles are patterns(图案) that appear in fields. The pattern is created when certain areas of the crops are pressed down firmly, but others are left as before. The edge is so clean that it looks like it was created with a machine. Even though the stalks(茎) are bent, they are not damaged. Most of the time, the crops continue to grow as normal. Sometimes, the patterns are simple circles. In other instances, they are complex designs consisting of several interconnecting geometric(几何的）shapes.

Most circles are concentrated(集中) in the south of England, primarily in the counties of Hampshire and Wiltshire. But crop circles are not limited to England. They have been discovered in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, India and other parts of the world. The season for crop circles runs from April to September, which coincides(同时发生) with the growing season.

Crop circles were mentioned occasionally(偶然地) before the 20th century, but the phenomenon didn't gain attention until 1980, when a farmer in Wiltshire County, England, discovered three circles, each about 18 meters across, in his oat crop. Researchers and the media went to the farm, and the world first began to learn about crop circles. By the 1990s, crop circles had become something of a tourist attraction. Visitors came from around the world to see them. Some farmers even charged for admission to their mysterious attractions.

Researchers have been thinking about the question of crop circles for several decades, but they still haven't come up with a real answer----they don't know why they exist. Possibly the most controversial(有争议的） theory is that crop circles are the work of visitors from other planets. The most scientific theory says crop circles are created by small currents of swirling winds called vortices(旋风). The easiest explanation for crop circles is that they are man-made tricks , created either for fun or to challenge scientists.

【1】What do you know about crop circles?

A．The only appear in April.

B．They were first discovered in 1980.

C．The production of the crops falls as result.

D．The crops still grow well though pressed down

【2】Crops circles began to gain public attention due to ________.

A．the visits of tourists

B．a farmer' s creation

【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．How crop circles might be created.

B．When crop circles were created.

C．The relationship between crop circles and aliens.

D．The influence of the earth' s energy on crop circles.

【4】What ' s the main purpose of the passage?

A．To attract visitors.

B．To introduce crop circles.

C．To explain who created crop circles.

D．To ask people to protect crop circles.

23、I came home one day recently and, for reasons I don’t quite understand, my living room smelled like my grandmother’s house. Suddenly I felt as if I were 12 years old, happy and relaxed, sitting in her kitchen. I can remember what her house looked like, though it was sold 20 years ago – her three-level plant stand, the plates lining the walls, the window over her sink – but these visual memories don’t have the power that smell does. The funny thing is, I can’t even begin to describe the odor(气味) that was so distinctively hers. The best I can do is this: “It smelled like my grandmother’s house.”

It’s a common experience, and a common linguistic( 语言学的) problem. In cultures worldwide, people have powerful olfactory memories. This odor-memory link is also called “the Proust phenomenon,” after Marcel Proust’s famous description of the feelings aroused by a cake dipped in tea in “Remembrance of Things Past.”

Olfactory memories seem to be more closely bound up with emotions than are visual or auditory ones.

Not all these memories are pleasant, of course, and smells can also trigger feelings of pain.

It is surprisingly hard for English-speakers to describe the odors that occasion such strong emotions, however. English possesses almost no abstract smell words that pick out links or themes among unrelated aromas(芳香).

We have plenty of these in the visual field. “Yellow,” for example, identifies a characteristic that bananas, lemons, some cars, some flowers, old book pages, and the sun all share.

But for odors, we don’t have many more than the vague “musty” (smells old and stale) and “musky” (smells perfumey). We usually have no choice but to say that one thing smells like another – like a banana, like garlic, like diesel fuel.

A few languages, though, do have a rich odor vocabulary. Linguist Asifa Majid has found that the Jahai, the Semaq Beri, and the Maniq, hunter-gatherer groups in Malaysia and Thailand, employ a wide range of abstract smell words and can identify aromas as easily as we can colors. The Jahai have a word, for example, that describes “the seemingly dissimilar smell of petrol, smoke, bat poop, root of wild ginger and wood of wild mango.”

Last year my cat got sprayed by a skunk(臭鼬), and the vet told me to wash its face with coffee to cover the bad smell. Until then, I had never realized that coffee, which I find delicious, smells remarkably like skunk spray, which I do not.

Science has identified the chemicals that both share. They are called mercaptans (硫醇). But in oral English, we have no word for the underlying note that connects these two odors. If the Jahai drank coffee and encountered skunks, I bet they would.

【1】The opening paragraph is mainly intended to .

A．express the writer’s affection for his grandmother

B．direct the readers’ attention to a linguistic problem

C．tell us the odor of the grandmother’s house stayed the same

D．prove smell has a greater power than visual memories

【2】Which of the following is related to olfactory memories?

A．Forming an image in mind after seeing the word “injury”.

B．Feeling sympathetic when seeing a sick cat.

C．Dancing to the music upon hearing it played.

D．Missing fried eggs with garlic cooked by mum.

【3】The example of the Jahai suggests that .

A．the Jahai don’t have many words in the visual field

B．English possesses many vague words like “musty” and “musky”

C．the Jahai has more abstract smell words than English

D．skunk and coffee have the same smell, but different functions

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The author feels pity about the limitation of his language.

B．English has a wide range of visual and odor vocabulary.

C．Olfactory memories can bring nothing but pleasant feelings.

D．Cultures worldwide always collide with each other.

24、21 Spoons is a restaurant aimed at bringing back the appeal of intimate (亲密的) dining. “This restaurant kind of fell into my lap,” says chef and owner Ann Butler, “I own the cooking school next door to it, and this space was empty for quite some time, and it seemed to be saying, ‘Do you want me?’”

After working in Fairfax and Chesterfield public schools, Butler started her cooking school, Edible Education, 12 years ago, hoping to change the dietary habits of kids.

The occurrence of the pandemic halted Butler’s cooking classes, as students were unable to attend in person. “We didn’t have any kids taking classes,” she says. “I didn’t know how long it’d be before we saw students again, so I thought, we got to do something.” So, Butler opened 21 Spoons in March of 2021, focused on small plates and shared bites from ratatouille flatbread to deep-fried deviled eggs.

“I took it over at a time when everyone was closing their restaurants in Richmond,” Butler says. This allowed her to start her new business in a way that made people feel more at ease during such a stressful time. Butler says the service and size of the restaurant-24 seats are what make people feel more comfortable and what allow them to open during the pandemic. “We opened during a time when everyone was scared, so we wanted to build a space where you could come and rest, back to old-school, old-fashioned service.”

Butler says the architectural plat (建筑区) for the space was unit 20. “I saw somewhere that a chef has 39 spoons,” she says, “and it was unit 20, so I thought, ‘How about 21Spoons?’ since we opened in 2021.”

While Butler says there’ll be no 22 Spoons, she describes 21 Spoons as a “creative gift”, allowing her to combine passions and build something beautiful for the community.

【1】What does the underlined word “halted” mean in paragraph 3?

A．Stopped.

B．Improved.

C．Added.

D．Reduced.

【2】Which word best describes the atmosphere of eating in 21 Spoons?

A．Amazing.

B．Inspiring.

C．Relaxing.

D．Touching.

【3】Why is unit 20 mentioned in the text?

A．It is where the restaurant is currently located.

B．It started Butler’s passion for the food industry.

C．It is associated with the menu of the restaurant.

D．It offered inspiration for naming the restaurant.

【4】In which section of a website can we probably read the text?

A．History and education.

B．Food and drink.

C．Art and music.

D．Shopping and style.

25、   From all the research I’ve done,a good learner possesses some key attributes(特质). I’ve actually found some quotes(引文)that _________ these attributes.

The first quote is_________ an ancient Chinese proverb:A teacher can only open the door.You must walk through.

Every school in the world should make this amazing quote its _________.When a teacher teaches you new information,she is opening the door in your brain to that new knowledge.However,that door doesn’t stay open.Like most doors,it’s_________ to close within a short period of time. If you don’t pass through _______ it closes,then your teacher will have to open it for you again.

But there’s a twist:You can keep the door open longer,even without your teacher.Good learners review new material while it’s still_________ in their brain.If you don’t review,then it’s like asking a teacher to open the door and then standing _________while it shuts in your face.You and the teacher will both feel pretty _________.

Just like becoming fit is 10%working out and 90%eating right,learning English is 10% learning new information and 90% repetition.You’ll never get _________if you don’t review.

Our second quote,which is an__________ powerful one,comes from Peter Drucker,the founder of modern business management theory.He said,”What gets measured gets managed.”

Drucker is saying that if you want to manage the progress of something,you must __________ progress. For example,”I want to learn English”is untrackable,uninspiring,and unrealistic.As a result,we should __________ setting such goals.Instead,we should __________ Drucker’s wisdom and make our goals trackable,such as”I want to master all of the English vowels(元音)”or”I want to learn and be able to use 1000 English words.”

________,you should set a period for achieving it.Don’t make it too long,or you’ll lose motivation. 4 weeks-3 months is usually a good choice.Imagine learning to use 1000 English words in conversation in 2 months!That sounds __________.
