21、Reading minds may not be simple, but it might be possible actually. What if a brain scan could reveal your memories? A team of British scientists recently just did that—they used brain scans to look at spatial （空间的） memory in four people. Spatial memory is the kind of memory you use to remember where you are. You use spatial memory to remember how to get from your house to school. People build spatial memory as they explore a new city or a new building and take in information about their surroundings.
The scientists asked each participant to sit down at a computer and wander through 3D rooms. These virtual rooms contained images of objects, like clocks and doors, so that the people could know where they were. Each person was encouraged to explore the virtual space.
As the people became familiar with these rooms, their brains were taking notes of where things were, and how to get from one point to another. After observing these rooms, the participants were instructed to go to a specific location within the rooms. At this point, the scientists took pictures of the people's brains using an instrument called FMRI （核磁共振成像） .
As participants stared at the floor, the scientists took FMRI scans to measure brain activity. They repeated this process many times. After a few repetitions, the scientists recognized the patterns in the participants' brains. By looking at patterns on the brain scans, the scientists were able to read the spatial memory of the test subjects.
This experiment shows that it is possible to use FMRI to gather some kinds of memories from people. However, your secret thoughts and personal memories are safe—for now. “It is not the case that we can put someone in a brain scanner and simply read his private thoughts,” said one of the scientists who worked on the project.
【1】What can we learn about spatial memory from the first paragraph?
A．It contributes to exploring a new subject.
B．It lets you remember what has been done.
C．It helps you memorize places where you are.
D．It takes in information about new knowledge.
【2】Which of the following is the right order of the study?
a. The scientists took photos of the brains with the FMRI.
b. The scientists read the spatial memory of the participants.
c. The participants were asked to explore virtual rooms.
d. The scientists repeated the process a few times.
A．a, b, c, d
B．c, a, d, b
C．b, c, d, a
D．c, d, a, b
【3】Why are our secret mind and private memories safe?
A．Because FMRIs can’t gather any memory from people.
B．Because scientists can't understand all pictures taken by FMRIs.
C．Because FMRIs can't be completely reliable now.
D．Because scientists can't read people's thoughts directly.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Spatial memory and FMRIs.
B．A very important research.
C．How scientists can read people's memories.
D．A new kind of camera—FMRIs.
22、For everyone who hates setting their alarm an hour earlier to hit the gym, scientists may have some good news.
Afternoon workouts lead to better outcomes for some people, according to a study published this year. The study, which looked at men who are at risk for or have Type2 diabetes (糖尿病) found that participants who exercised in the afternoon experienced more metabolic (新陈代谢的) benefits as well as more positive effects on their exercise performance and fat mass compared to participants who exercised in the morning.
“Our body has a biological clock and this regulates many processes in the body and these processes have a rhythm,” said Patrick Schrauwen, a professor of metabolic aspects of Type 2 diabetes at Maastricht University in the Netherlands.
“Some of these are well known, like your body temperature and your blood pressure.” Schrauwen said. “Our biological clocks also influence our metabolism and whether our bodies burn fat or carbohydrates at certain times,” he added. And for study participants who were fat or at risk for Type 2 diabetes, those fat-burning processes were more efficient in the afternoon hours. Higher body temperatures in the afternoon may also help improve corporal performance, almost like a built-in daily warm-up.
“When you start to realize how strong this biological clock can be and then if you do the things like food intake on the wrong time of the day, or being active on the wrong time of the day or being inactive at times when you should be active, this can have a major influence.” Schrauwen added. “The good news is that you can also use it for your benefit.”
It can be especially helpful for competitive athletes or people training for a race to exercise in the afternoon of a day. For example, Schrauwen said he worked with a football team that was able to improve their performance by moving practice to the afternoon.
【1】What is the good news mentioned in the text?
A．People do not need to set their alarm earlier any more.
B．Exercise in the afternoon is good for all human beings.
C．The men with Type 2 diabetes can be treated by exercising in the afternoon.
D．Some people get more benefits when they exercise in the afternoon.
【2】What is the scientific basis of Patrick Schrauwen’s study?
A．Our bodies have a regular system.
B．Our bodies can adjust to a new habit.
C．The patients with diabetes burn fat faster.
D．People can do warm-up inside their bodies.
【3】What does the underlined word “corporal” mean in paragraph 4?
A．Memorial.
B．Physical.
C．Natural.
D．Mental.
【4】How did Schrauwen prove his research?
A．By working with other scientists.
B．By comparing the results from different people.
C．By trying it with specific groups.
D．By helping participants at risk for diabetes.
23、“I’m sorry,” the bank teller said. “Your check has bounced (拒付).” Her words took a moment to sink in. This year had brought so much pain. A divorce (离婚), losing my house, then the loss of my job right before the holidays… and now the check for my car insurance had bounced!
Leaving the bank, I wondered what I would do. My unemployment (失业) checks were delayed, and everything seemed to be piling up. How long could I last without money? How I missed my parents in the faraway Los Angeles.
December in Michigan meant it was not only dark, but cold and snowy. Despite (尽管) that, I had an urge to take a walk on my favorite trail. Being cold and dark also meant there was a good chance no one else would be out, so I decided to go.
On the trail, I was grateful for sounds of rushing water coming from the little river. They covered my soft sobs while I walked. Tonight, it all felt like too much to bear.
Eventually, when my tears dried up, I headed home. Approaching my apartment (公寓) door, I noticed something bulky hanging on it. Probably another bill, I thought. While I struggled with my boots, I could see a card with my name on it through the clear plastic bag. Reaching in, I took out a very small, white envelope. Inside the envelope was a beautiful card with no name written on it, but it was stuffed with gift cards --- hundreds of dollars of gift cards that could meet my urgent needs!
I was in shock and awe. The timing of this amazing anonymous (匿名的) gift, arriving at exactly the right moment, was almost too much to comprehend. Again, I began crying, but now they were tears of joy. I felt so loved.
I would go to Los Angeles tomorrow!

24、School life can be hard for any child, but if you add severe learning difficulties into the mix, it can be unbearable. This was the case for William Carter, who really struggled throughout his primary education. To make things worse, he was laughed at by classmates for his learning difficulties.
At 13, he was still unable to read. However, when he was properly diagnosed with severe dyslexia and dyspraxia (诵读困难), his education turned around.
Carter managed to eventually gain a first-class degree in politics and international relations at Bristol University in England. After receiving a scholarship, he is now studying for a PhD in political geography at the University of California, Berkeley.
Carter spent so long without being properly diagnosed, which makes it even more difficult for him to study.
Yet as soon as the diagnosis is made, life becomes more bearable for the child, with lessons and materials adapted to give the kids like him a chance to grasp what they are trying to learn. The fact that Carter's achievements are so impressive demonstrates how capable kids with special needs truly are.
Carter seems almost grateful for his learning disabilities. He believes “fundamentally, dyslexia made me who I am today.” The Londoner's goal is to become a professor of political theory and Black geographies and then follow a career in politics. He aims to correct a system that he feels is lacking: "The fact that I, through luck and the support of others, ‘made it’ in spite of social-economic barriers, shouldn't justify our system and society.”
In appreciating the opportunities he was given, Carter will no doubt be a brilliant advocate for other children facing inequality at school and an inspiration for other youngsters and their parents.
【1】What is the author's attitude toward Carter?
A．Sympathetic.
B．Admiring.
C．Indifferent.
D．Skeptical.
【2】What brought about change in Carter's study?
A．The routine he sticks to.
B．The treatment of his disease.
C．Special help from the university.
D．Adaptation of learning materials.
【3】What might Carter be in the future?
A．A speaker.
B．A designer.
C．A politician.
D．An engineer.
【4】Which part of the website does this text probably come from?
A．Inspiring story.
B．Medical knowledge.
C．Political news.
D．Campus life.

25、When I was in high school, I didn’t know anything about engineering. At that time, when the car I drove needed repairing, I was afraid to take it to the . Because honestly, the mechanic could have me an electric can opener and said, “This is part of your car and it’s -----pay me to fix it.” Then I wouldn’t have known any better.
At the end of my junior year of high school, I heard about a summer program to interest girls in engineering. The six-week program was free, and students were college credits and a dorm room at the University of Maryland. I applied to the program, not because I wanted to be an engineer, but because I was looking forward to and wanted to stay away from my parents for six weeks.
I was accepted to the program and I earned six engineering credits. The next year I entered the university as an engineering student. Five years later I had a degree and three good job offers.
I can’t help shaking I hear about studies that show women are when it comes to math. They imply that I am a little stupid. I’m not, but I know that if I hadn’t met with that summer program, I wouldn’t be an engineer.
When I was growing up, I was told, as many students were, to do what I was best at. But I didn’t know what that was. Most people think that when you are something, it comes easily to you. But this is what I discovered: just because a subject is to learn, it does not mean you are not good at it. You just have to grit your teeth and work hard to get good at it. Once you do, there’s good that you will enjoy it more than anything else.
【1】A. engineer B. salesman C. factory D. mechanic
【2】A. shown B. given C. brought D. taken
【3】A. old B. broken C. fixed D. dirtied
【4】A. designed B. performed C. controlled D. described

【5】A. sent B. afforded C. offered D. awarded
【6】A. independence B. success C. happiness D. beauty
【7】A. until B. when C. since D. before
【8】A. at a disadvantageB. at a loss C. in a trap D. in a shock
【9】A. never B. do C. hardly D. nearly
【10】A. good at B. bad at C. interested in D. devoted to
【11】A. easy B. funny C. difficult D. interesting
【12】A. will B. feeling C. desire D. chance

26、阅读下面材料，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。
In gift shops, it is likely that many tourists would pass by what may be a symbol of Portugal: swallows made of glass. In Portugal, people gift the birds for weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings and going-away gatherings.
Farewells were on my mind when I met Apolinario in February 2020. At the time I was well aware of my oldest child’s upcoming graduation and departure for university in a city far from home.
Ethan, my oldest child, has been away from me before. There have been camps and school trips, but each time I have rested easy in the knowledge that he would come home. He always comes home.
But this time I feel less certain.
The feeling was at its peak when I entered Apolinario’s gift shop that specialized in Portuguese souvenirs. I was aimlessly walking among the shelves when I noticed the abundance of glass swallows.
“The swallow is connected to a lot of things that are dear to us,’’ explained Apolinario who stood behind me. The birds’ qualities —they mate for life and raise their babies together—make it a nostalgic (怀旧的) symbol. “They don’t leave the nest until all of the babies do and they always return.”
Apolinario also told me that the swallow also marked an important time in the country’s history when the Portuguese sailed around the world. A lot of people missed their homeland and wanted to come back. The swallow represented that there was a nest somewhere in Portugal, although people were living all over the world.
“The concept is best described as the feeling of connection you get when you taste your grandmother’s cooking or a familiar smell that takes you back to your childhood. The swallow is thought to be the embodiment (体现) of that feeling. When you have one in or on your home, it carries those good memories with it,” he added. “When you’re giving this as a gift, you’re basically giving a part of yourself that stays there. You’re creating a connection.”
注意：1.写作词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Apolinario told me about the bird, I knew I needed one.
