Recently, a new kind of tourism has sprung up in China. Called “special forces style tourism”, this new kind of tourism features visiting multiple scenic interests in a short, intense period, most often on weekends. It is popular among college students, reported China Youth Daily.
Yu Yinghua in Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance is one of them. The 22-year-old started the “special forces style tourism” in March after she was attracted by such experiences of Xiaohongshu travel bloggers. “Confined (限制) to the school for almost three years due to the pandemic, I’m hungry to take trips in my spare time,” said Yu.
Her most recent trip was to Shanghai. Starting at 7 am, the 22-year-old visited nine local attractions. “That day, I walked almost 30,000 steps,” Yu said, “Though it’s a bit tiring, I enjoy the trip as much as day-long trips. It still lets me have a better understanding of the cities I go to.”
Unlike Yu who traveled in nearby cities, Chen Junjun, a doctoral student at Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, CAS, likes to travel far to rid herself of academic stress. In April, the 24-year-old took a two-day trip to Xi’an, Shaanxi. During her trip, she visited all the scenic sites in the city. “Juggling (同时应付) many academic responsibilities, such a trip can bring a splash of color (一抹亮色) to my stressful life!” said Chen.
Even so, the 24-year-old added that such tourism is not suitable for everyone. Chen said that it’s labor-consuming as visitors have to see as many sites as possible in an intensive (集中的) period. To some extent, such trips are not flexible as long-day trips in which you can change your plan as you like. “Thus, abundant energy and a calm mind are necessary for special forces style tourism,” said Chen.
4. What can we infer about special forces style tourism from the text
A. It is exhausting but rewarding.
B. It is popular with all people in China.
C. It features visiting multiple scenic interests in a relaxing way.
D. It is flexible as long-day trips in which you can change your plan as you like.
5. Which of the following is NOT the reason why people take to this new kind of tourism
A. It can bring relief to our stressful life.
B. It can contribute to learning more about the sites.
C. It can help save time and money while enjoying the sites better.
D. Confined for almost three years due to the pandemic, people long to take trips.
6. If you want to try special forces style tourism, you will probably _______.
A. visit eight places in Beijing within one day
B. communicate with local people in Chengdu
C. stay in a comfortable hotel in Dali for three days
D. visit two famous places in Chongqing within one week
7. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. A new kind of tourism has sprung up.
B. Special forces style tourism is well-received worldwide.
C. College students like visiting scenic interests on weekends.
D. College students challenge themselves by traveling on a tight schedule.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了在中国兴起的一种新型旅游方式:特种兵式旅游。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It is popular among college students, reported China Youth Daily. (据《中国青年报》报道,这在大学生中很受欢迎)”可知B项错误,这种旅游方式并不是受所有的中国人欢迎。根据第一段“Called “special forces style tourism”, this new kind of tourism features visiting multiple scenic interests in a short, intense period, most often on weekends. (这种新型旅游被称为“特种兵式旅游”,其特点是在短时间内密集游览多个景点,最常见的是在周末)”可知这种新型旅游耗时短且强度大,故CD项错误。根据第三段中于滢华所说的“Though it’s a bit tiring, I enjoy the trip as much as day-long trips. It still lets me have a better understanding of the cities I go to. (虽然有点累,但我喜欢这次旅行,就像一整天的旅行一样。它仍然让我更好地了解我去的城市)”和第四段陈俊俊所说的“Juggling (同时应付) many academic responsibilities, such a trip can bring a splash of color (一抹亮色) to my stressful life! (同时承担许多学术责任,这样的旅行可以给我紧张的生活带来一抹色彩!)”可知,特种兵式旅游耗费体力,但很有回报。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段于滢华所说的“Confined (限制) to the school for almost three years due to the pandemic, I’m hungry to take trips in my spare time. (由于疫情,我在学校呆了将近三年,我渴望在业余时间去旅行)”可知D选项“Confined for almost three years due to the pandemic, people long to take trips. (由于疫情人们被限制了近三年,大家都渴望旅行)”是原因之一。根据第三段“It still lets me have a better understanding of the cities I go to. (它仍然让我更好地了解我去的城市)”可知B选项“It can contribute to learning more about the sites. (它有助于更多地了解这些景色)”符合原因。根据第四段陈俊俊所说的“Juggling (同时应付) many academic responsibilities, such a trip can bring a splash of color (一抹亮色) to my stressful life! (同时承担许多学术责任,这样的旅行可以给我紧张的生活带来一抹色彩!)”可知这种旅游可以缓解压力,所以A项也是理由。所以C选项不是人们选择特种兵式旅游的原因,且“save money”未提及。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“Called “special forces style tourism”, this new kind of tourism features visiting multiple scenic interests in a short, intense period, most often on weekends. (这种新型旅游被称为“特种兵式旅游”,其特点是在短时间内密集游览多个景点,最常见的是在周末)”这种新型旅游是耗时短且强度大,所以A选项“visit eight places in Beijing within one day. (在一天内游览北京的八个地方)”符合这种新型旅游方式。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Recently, a new kind of tourism has sprung up in China. Called “special forces style tourism”, this new kind of tourism features visiting multiple scenic interests in a short, intense period, most often on weekends. It is popular among college students, reported China Youth Daily.(最近,一种新的旅游业在中国兴起。这种新型旅游被称为“特种兵式旅游”,其特点是在短时间内密集游览多个景点,最常见的是在周末。据《中国青年报》报道,它在大学生中很受欢迎)”可知,全篇都在介绍一种很受大学生欢迎的新型的旅游方式:特种兵式旅游,这种新型旅游是耗时短且强度大,但很有回报,D“大学生们在紧张的行程中挑战自己”符合文意。故选D。
C
Heavy traffic doesn’t stop big mammals like bears from crossing highways — nor does it keep smaller creatures from being squished (压扁) by cars. In just two years along one highway in Utah more than 100 animals were killed in traffic accidents. In the United States, there are 21 endangered species whose survival is threatened by traffic accidents.
However, there’s one way to reduce crashes between cars and animals crossing the road: wildlife under and overpasses. Looking much like a regular overpass for cars, but decorated with native plants, they aren’t particularly noticeable unless you know what you’re looking for. The drivers may not be able to see the under crossings. But they’re helping countless species to pass the highways, from gold monkeys in Brazil to water voles in London.
Washington State is one of the latest to join in. Building its first wildlife bridge began in 2015 over Interstate 90 (I-90), which runs from Seattle to Boston. Though it’s just a bare set of arches now, with native plants to be planted next year, deer and wolves are already using it. Along with six underpasses built since 2013, these crossings are the first in a set of 20 along a 15-mile stretch of highway on I-90. These passes will allow black bears and mountain lions to pass through what was once an impenetrable road.
These wildlife crossings aren’t just about saving individual animals — they’re about species survival, too. I-90 is an economically important east-west lifeline in the state. But many of the animals mostly want to move from north to south. Those animals on the south of the highway got trapped in an island. Inbreeding (近亲繁殖) became a potential problem. Localized extinction happens if they don’t have genetic variability. The Snoqualmie overpass helps reconnect these isolated (隔绝的) populations. I-90’s underpasses are important in connecting waterways and species.
8. Why does the author talk about the heavy traffic in Paragraph 1
A. To show the results of wildlife protection.
B. To indicate its serious threat of over speeding.
C. To raise people’s awareness of the behavior of wildlife.
D. To introduce the following way to protect wild animals.
9. In order to save wildlife, what is suggested to do according to Paragraph 2
A. Letting drivers see highways. B. Building highway crossing for animals.
C. Decorating busy roads with native plants. D. Noticing under and overpasses while driving.
10. Why are wildlife crossings over I-90 important for species to survive
A. Because they can protect native plants for animals.
B. Because they are economically important for the country.
C. Because they can help animals trapped in the island on the north.
D. Because they will prevent species from dying out for lacking genetic variety.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Isolated Wildlife: A Potential Problem
B. Highway Accidents: A Killer of Wild Animals
C. Wildlife Bridges: A Solution to Wildlife Protection
D. Wildlife Crossing: A Regular Overpass for Wildlife
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人们为了保护动物而修建的野生动物通道,有效保护了动物免于交通事故的死亡。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Heavy traffic doesn’t stop big mammals like bears from crossing highways — nor does it keep smaller creatures from being squished (压扁) by cars. (繁忙的交通并不能阻止像熊这样的大型哺乳动物穿越高速公路——也不能阻止较小的动物被汽车碾压)”可知,交通繁忙依旧会对动物产生生命威胁。第二段“However, there’s one way to reduce crashes between cars and animals crossing the road: wildlife under and overpasses. (然而,有一种方法可以减少汽车和过马路的动物之间的碰撞:野生动物通道)”用转折,介绍可以保护动物的方法。由此推知,第一段提及到交通拥挤的目的是为了引出后文所介绍的保护动物的方法。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, there’s one way to reduce crashes between cars and animals crossing the road: wildlife under and overpasses. Looking much like a regular overpass for cars, but decorated with native plants, they aren’t particularly noticeable unless you know what you’re looking for. (然而,有一种方法可以减少过马路的汽车和动物之间的碰撞:野生动物通道。它们看起来很像一座普通的汽车立交桥,但用当地植物装饰,除非你知道自己在找什么,否则不会特别引人注目)”可知,冒号后的内容就是具体方式,即建立“野生动物通道”。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Inbreeding (近亲繁殖) became a potential problem. Localized extinction happens if they don’t have genetic variability. The Snoqualmie overpass helps reconnect these isolated (隔绝) populations. I-90’s underpasses are important in connecting waterways and species. (近亲繁殖成为一个潜在的问题。如果它们没有遗传变异,局部灭绝就会发生。斯诺夸尔米立交桥帮助这些孤立的种群重新联系起来。I-90的地下通道在连接水路和物种方面很重要)”可知,野生动物穿越I-90野生动物通道对于种族存活是非常重要的因为它们将防止物种因缺乏遗传多样性而灭绝。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了一种保护野生动物免于交通事故的方式:建立专属野生动物通道。由此可知,选项“Wildlife Bridges: A Solution to Wildlife Protection (野生动物桥梁:野生动物保护的解决方案)”符合本篇文章的标题。故选C。
D
There’s no doubt that positive thinking impacts one’s life. However, in recent years, I’ve come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic (有毒的) positivity, which has negative consequences. What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation (确认).
Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate. “It often comes at the risk of denying our own real feelings or the feelings of others,” says Nina Vasan, MD. While positive thinking in general is a great thing, toxic positivity isn’t. It’s the act of denying anything negative that’s actually happening, and it can involve making people feel bad for having normal human emotions. Someone practicing toxic positivity might say things like “everything happens for a reason” or “just look on the bright side” when a friend shares something difficult in his/her life.
Vasan tells us that with toxic positivity, emotions like sorrow and anger are pushed aside. However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important. That doesn’t mean it promotes and encourages negative thinking endlessly, though.
Toxic positivity encourages us to focus only on the positive, which can stop us from dealing with the feelings we need to work through. Practicing emotional validation is a healthier option for you and the ones you love. “This can be as simple as saying ‘I understand you’re really sad’.” explains Vasan. Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings. Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.
Toxic positivity has become prevalent, and you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “You’re too sensitive”. Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.
12. What is emotional validation
A. Permitting emotional ups and downs. B. Denying people’s negative feelings.
C. Maintaining positive in hard times. D. Avoiding risks in terrible situations.
13. What may the author recommend you to say to a sad person
A. Perhaps something fortunate is still waiting for you.
B. I’m sure there’s a good reason for what has happened.
C. I understand your sadness but being sensitive is no good.
D. You have every right to feel upset and I am here for you.
14. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Complicated. B. Widespread. C. Instructive. D. Essential.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Promoting positivity is worthwhile. B. Admitting negativity is reasonable.
C. Sticking to positivity is significant. D. Expressing negativity is inappropriate.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者认为积极的思维方式有可能会带来有害的积极,引发负面的结果。文章具体说明了有害的积极的内涵,它可能引发负面结果的原因,建议我们去追求情感认可,正视自己的、他人的负面情感。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important.(然而,情感认可允许你有自己的感受。确切地说,情感认可就是允许人体验他们的感受,承认负面感受是真实的,而且往往很重要。)”可知,情感认可不否定人的负面感受,承认其真实的存在和重要性,也就是承认情感的起伏变动。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.(现在你可以说:你感觉到的一切都是暂时的,允许自己去感受它,这会帮助你度过它。)”可知,对于有负面感受的人,我们应该允许他有这样的感受。再结合倒数第二段中“Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.(此外,不要告诉别人往好的方面看,你应该用语言和思想来支持他们。)”可知,对于有负面感受的人,我们还应该表明我们对他的支持。由此推断,对于一个伤心的人,作者可能会建议我们说:你有权感到难过,而我会支持你。故选D。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “You’re too sensitive”(你可能认识很多这样的人,他们用“你太敏感了”这样的话来驳斥你的负面经历)”可知,像这样否认他人负面感受的人很多,所以有害的积极应该是变得普遍了。因此,prevalent的词义和widespread相近。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation (确认).(相反,我们应该追求情感认可。)”以及全文内容可知,作者认为积极的思维方式有可能会带来有害的积极,引发负面的结果,建议我们去追求情感认可,正视自己的、他人的负面情感。因此,B项“承认负面情感是合理的”符合文章大意。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
English family names or surnames as we know today weren’t widely used until the Norman conquest (征服)of 1066. Before that time there weren’t enough people to make it necessary to use anything other than a single name. ____16____people began adding descriptions such as “John the Baker” to tell between people of the same name. These descriptive names eventually became associated with a family, passed down from one generation to the next.
Occupational(职业性的)Surnames. ____17____ Two common English surname, Smith and Wright, are excellent examples of this. A name ending in “-man” usually suggests a trade name, as in Chapman (shopkeeper).

Most refer to an individual’s appearance, like size, color or physical shape, for example, Little or Armstrong. ____18____ Goodchild or Wise are good examples of this.
Geographical Surnames. These are names coming from the location of the land in which the first bearer and his family lived, and are generally the most common origin of English surnames. They were first introduced into England by the Normans, many of whom were known by the name of their personal lands. ____19____ County names in Great Britain, such as Kent and Devon, have been commonly adopted as surnames.
Other local surnames are from descriptive landscape features such as hills and woods which describe the land where the bearer lives. ____20____
A. As the country’s population grew,
B. As a person entered under one surname,
C. A rare name can tell you the family’s origin.
D. This is the origin of surnames such as Hill and Bush.

【答案】16. A 17. F 18. E 19. G 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国姓氏的由来,我们今天所知道的英国姓氏直到1066年诺曼征服才被广泛使用。
【16题详解】
根据空前“Before that time there weren’t enough people to make it necessary to use anything other than a single name.(在那之前,没有足够多的人需要使用单一的名字以外的任何东西。)”可知,在诺曼征服之前人口不多。再根据空后“people began adding descriptions such as “John the Baker” to tell between people of the same name. (人们开始添加诸如“面包师约翰”这样的描述来区分同名的人。)”可知,人们开始添加一些描述来区分同名的人。选项A“As the country’s population grew,(随着国家人口的增长,)”不仅从形式上符合下文,从内容上也承上启下,使得上下文符合逻辑。正因为人口增加,人们才开始添加描述来区分同名的人。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据段首“Occupational(职业性的)Surnames.(职业性的姓氏)”可知,本段主要讲述的是姓氏和职业相关。选项F“Many English surnames developed from a person’s job or trade.(许多英语姓氏是由一个人的工作或贸易发展而来的。)”和本段内容相符。同时与下文所举例子“Two common English surname, Smith and Wright, are excellent examples of this. (两个常见的英国姓氏,史密斯和赖特,就是很好的例子。)”保持一致。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Most refer to an individual’s appearance, like size, color or physical shape, for example, Little or Armstrong.(大多数是指一个人的外表,如大小、颜色或身体形状,例如,Little或 Armstrong。)”可知,本段主要讲述的是有些姓氏用来描述一个人。再根据空后“Goodchild or Wise are good examples of this.( Goodchild或Wise就是很好的例子。)”可知,Goodchild或Wise是描述了一个人的性格。选项E“They may also refer to an individual’s personal character.(它们也可以指一个人的性格。)”是下文内容的总结,符合本段内容。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据下文“County names in Great Britain, such as Kent and Devon, have been commonly adopted as surnames.(英国的郡名,如肯特郡和德文郡,已被普遍采纳为姓氏。)”可知,一些地名已经成为了姓氏。选项G“Thus, many English surnames developed from the name of an actual town or county.(因此,许多英文姓氏是从一个实际的城镇或郡的名字发展而来的。)”与下文所举例子相一致,指的都是一些城镇或郡的名字已经成为了正式的姓氏。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Other local surnames are from descriptive landscape features such as hills and woods which describe the land where the bearer lives.(其他当地姓氏来自描述性的景观特征,如山丘和森林,描述了持有者居住的土地。)”可知,有些景观特征也成为了姓氏。选项D“This is the origin of surnames such as Hill and Bush.(这是Hill和Bush等姓氏的起源。)”与上文内容一致,是上文所指的景观特征的具体例子。故选D。

47. 阅读下而材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 One day however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I... ” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself.
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.

Recently, a new kind of tourism has sprung up in China. Called “special forces style tourism”, this new kind of tourism features visiting multiple scenic interests in a short, intense period, most often on weekends. It is popular among college students, reported China Youth Daily.
Yu Yinghua in Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance is one of them. The 22-year-old started the “special forces style tourism” in March after she was attracted by such experiences of Xiaohongshu travel bloggers. “Confined (限制) to the school for almost three years due to the pandemic, I’m hungry to take trips in my spare time,” said Yu.
Her most recent trip was to Shanghai. Starting at 7 am, the 22-year-old visited nine local attractions. “That day, I walked almost 30,000 steps,” Yu said, “Though it’s a bit tiring, I enjoy the trip as much as day-long trips. It still lets me have a better understanding of the cities I go to.”
Unlike Yu who traveled in nearby cities, Chen Junjun, a doctoral student at Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, CAS, likes to travel far to rid herself of academic stress. In April, the 24-year-old took a two-day trip to Xi’an, Shaanxi. During her trip, she visited all the scenic sites in the city. “Juggling (同时应付) many academic responsibilities, such a trip can bring a splash of color (一抹亮色) to my stressful life!” said Chen.
Even so, the 24-year-old added that such tourism is not suitable for everyone. Chen said that it’s labor-consuming as visitors have to see as many sites as possible in an intensive (集中的) period. To some extent, such trips are not flexible as long-day trips in which you can change your plan as you like. “Thus, abundant energy and a calm mind are necessary for special forces style tourism,” said Chen.
4. What can we infer about special forces style tourism from the text
A. It is exhausting but rewarding.
B. It is popular with all people in China.
C. It features visiting multiple scenic interests in a relaxing way.
D. It is flexible as long-day trips in which you can change your plan as you like.
5. Which of the following is NOT the reason why people take to this new kind of tourism
A. It can bring relief to our stressful life.
B. It can contribute to learning more about the sites.
C. It can help save time and money while enjoying the sites better.
D. Confined for almost three years due to the pandemic, people long to take trips.
6. If you want to try special forces style tourism, you will probably _______.
A. visit eight places in Beijing within one day
B. communicate with local people in Chengdu
C. stay in a comfortable hotel in Dali for three days
D. visit two famous places in Chongqing within one week
7. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. A new kind of tourism has sprung up.
B. Special forces style tourism is well-received worldwide.
C. College students like visiting scenic interests on weekends.
D. College students challenge themselves by traveling on a tight schedule.
C
Heavy traffic doesn’t stop big mammals like bears from crossing highways — nor does it keep smaller creatures from being squished (压扁) by cars. In just two years along one highway in Utah, more than 100 animals were killed in traffic accidents. In the United States, there are 21 endangered species whose survival is threatened by traffic accidents.
However, there’s one way to reduce crashes between cars and animals crossing the road: wildlife under and overpasses. Looking much like a regular overpass for cars, but decorated with native plants, they aren’t particularly noticeable unless you know what you’re looking for. The drivers may not be able to see the under crossings. But they’re helping countless species to pass the highways, from gold monkeys in Brazil to water voles in London.
Washington State is one of the latest to join in. Building its first wildlife bridge began in 2015 over Interstate 90 (I-90), which runs from Seattle to Boston. Though it’s just a bare set of arches now, with native plants to be planted next year, deer and wolves are already using it. Along with six underpasses built since 2013, these crossings are the first in a set of 20 along a 15-mile stretch of highway on I-90. These passes will allow black bears and mountain lions to pass through what was once an impenetrable road.
These wildlife crossings aren’t just about saving individual animals — they’re about species survival, too. I-90 is an economically important east-west lifeline in the state. But many of the animals mostly want to move from north to south. Those animals on the south of the highway got trapped in an island. Inbreeding (近亲繁殖) became a potential problem. Localized extinction happens if they don’t have genetic variability. The Snoqualmie overpass helps reconnect these isolated (隔绝的) populations. I-90’s underpasses are important in connecting waterways and species.
8. Why does the author talk about the heavy traffic in Paragraph 1
A. To show the results of wildlife protection.
B. To indicate its serious threat of over speeding.
C. To raise people’s awareness of the behavior of wildlife.
D. To introduce the following way to protect wild animals.
9. In order to save wildlife, what is suggested to do according to Paragraph 2
A. Letting drivers see highways. B. Building highway crossing for animals.
C. Decorating busy roads with native plants. D. Noticing under and overpasses while driving.
10. Why are wildlife crossings over I-90 important for species to survive
A. Because they can protect native plants for animals.
B. Because they are economically important for the country.
C. Because they can help animals trapped in the island on the north.
D. Because they will prevent species from dying out for lacking genetic variety.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Isolated Wildlife: A Potential Problem
B. Highway Accidents: A Killer of Wild Animals
C. Wildlife Bridges: A Solution to Wildlife Protection
D. Wildlife Crossing: A Regular Overpass for Wildlife
D
There’s no doubt that positive thinking impacts one’s life. However, in recent years, I’ve come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic (有毒的) positivity, which has negative consequences. What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation (确认).
Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate. “It often comes at the risk of denying our own real feelings or the feelings of others,” says Nina Vasan, MD. While positive thinking in general is a great thing, toxic positivity isn’t. It’s the act of denying anything negative that’s actually happening, and it can involve making people feel bad for having normal human emotions. Someone practicing toxic positivity might say things like “everything happens for a reason” or “just look on the bright side” when a friend shares something difficult in his/her life.
Vasan tells us that with toxic positivity, emotions like sorrow and anger are pushed aside. However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important. That doesn’t mean it promotes and encourages negative thinking endlessly, though.
Toxic positivity encourages us to focus only on the positive, which can stop us from dealing with the feelings we need to work through. Practicing emotional validation is a healthier option for you and the ones you love. “This can be as simple as saying ‘I understand you’re really sad’.” explains Vasan. Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings. Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.
Toxic positivity has become prevalent, and you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “You’re too sensitive”. Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.
12. What is emotional validation
A. Permitting emotional ups and downs. B. Denying people’s negative feelings.
C. Maintaining positive in hard times. D. Avoiding risks in terrible situations.
13. What may the author recommend you to say to a sad person
A. Perhaps something fortunate is still waiting for you.
B. I’m sure there’s a good reason for what has happened.
C. I understand your sadness but being sensitive is no good.
D. You have every right to feel upset and I am here for you.
14. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Complicated. B. Widespread. C. Instructive. D. Essential.

As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.
