21、第一节 阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中 ，选出最佳选项,并在题卡上将该项涂黑。(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)
A.
A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite -- telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups. And then you began eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."
God brews the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!
"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything."
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.
【1】What did a group of graduates talk about when they visited their old professor?

A. It makes the coffee taste better.

D. It shows people’s status.
【3】The purpose of this writing is ____________.
A. about how to complain about stress in work and life
B. to enjoy the present life and get happiness from it
C. to enjoy the coffee with expensive cups
D. to prove the power of the God
【4】What’s the best title of this passage?

22、When Andre too the stand in a courtroom on a fall afternoon in 2022, he testified (作证) to the financial worth of an old-growth redwood.
Andre is a registered professional forester in California. Before his testification, foresters from Redwood National and State Parks in northern California were deep into a months-long investigation of burl poaching (树瘤偷猎). Burls, the bark covered growths that can stick out from a tree’s trunk, produce a wood that’s valued for its unique grain and smooth workability. Because of their beauty and relative rarity, old-growth burls fetch very high prices and are eventually turned into tables and bowls, or carved into statues.
Burl poaching is an ongoing concern in northern California’s parks. It affects the stability of some of the only old-growth coastal redwoods: Only 4% of the coastal redwoods remain, and 45% of those are conserved in park boundaries. When someone poaches a burl from one of these ancient trees, it leaves the tree with structural damage that can kill it, and makes it more subject to disease.
When poaching cases are brought to trial, judges are tasked with arguing for a punishment that takes a tree’s worth into account. The reliance on a purely market-based fine is gradually falling from favor. Judges have started arguing more forcefully for valuation that considers the forest as a complex ecosystem, within which old-growth is just a single, yet crucial, element. It’s a shift from the easily quantifiable toward a multi-aspect consideration of worth. The gravity of poaching is most felt, not simply the loss of a marketable resource. The new strategy is partly due to the surprisingly low fines for poachers, usually based on that week’s wood market data.
Finally, the judges handed down two years’ probation (缓刑), community service hours and a $1,200 fine to the poacher. Although judges and foresters continue to argue for expanding definitions of “worth”", poaching from American forests still remains worth the risk.
【1】What drives poachers to steal old growth redwood burls?
A．The absence of a forest law.
B．The burls’ medicinal properties.
C．The commercial profits from burls.
D．The burls’ fast reproduction ability.
【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A．Where redwoods are distributed.
B．How many varieties of redwoods exist.
C．What threat burl poaching poses to redwoods.
D．Why California’s parks are home to redwoods.
【3】On what basis should the punishment for poachers be determined?
A．Overall value of the tree.
B．Previous poaching cases.
C．Average wood market prices.
D．Environmental impacts of the tree.
【4】What can be inferred about the new way to judge poaching cases?
A．It fails to reach desired effects.
B．It causes panic among poachers.
C．It discourages people from poaching.
D．It guarantees reasonable sentences to poachers.
23、Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was living the life-just not the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important.
Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. When she returned to New York, her life was with a new purpose and a variety of new skills to make her dreams a reality.
“One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says. “And I just thought, ‘Why aren’t we doing that here?’”“The Adamah program opened Sacks’ eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2017, she began what she calls “trash walking”.
During tours around her community, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her “trash walking” expanded to include corporate trash along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff-like clothing, decorations, and food-all of which she documents on TikTok.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her videos that highlight the problems with consumerism. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says.
The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says. Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded. If they give away goods, they can claim only a small amount as a charitable reduction on their taxes.
Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says.
【1】Anna Sacks packed up her life and left New York to________.
A．lead a healthy lifestyle
B．observe how to grow food
C．pursue a meaningful life
D．volunteer to work in a bank
【2】What impressed Anna Sacks most about the Adamah program?
A．The importance of trash walking.
B．The sustainable food people produced.
C．The hard truth about consumer culture.
D．The way people there dealt with the waste.
【3】What makes companies prefer to throw out goods as trash?
A．The tax reduction.
B．The quality of goods.
C．The tax refund.
D．The overproduction.
【4】What can we learn from Anna Sacks’ story?
A．Consumer culture accounts for wasting.
B．Corporate trash outweighs residential trash.
C．Trash walking is the key to becoming wealthy.
D．Turning to farming leads to sustainable living.
24、Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone cant make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
【1】What surprised the scientists a few years ago?
A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.
B. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work.
C. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.
D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.
【2】 According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?
A. Challenging mental work. B. Unpleasant emotions.
C. Endless tasks. D. Physical labor.
【3】 What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea?
A. He agrees with them. B. He doubts them.
C. He argues against them. D. He hesitates to accept them.
【4】We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to ___________.
A. have some good food B. enjoy their work
C. exercise regularly D. discover fatigue toxins
25、 Brittany was having one of those days when things just kept going wrong. She was tired and stressed as she left football practice with all three of her kids. With everyone worn out from the busy day, Brittany decided to _______ dinner from the McDonald’s on their way home. Wyatt was the teenager working there who took her _______ that day.
As Brittany pulled up to the drive-through window to pay, all her kids were crying for one reason or another. And that’s when it _______ Brittany: She’d left her purse at home.
She looked at the young man with tears in eyes just from being _______ and annoyed and said, “I am so sorry but I have to cancel that order. I left my purse at home when we went to football tonight.”
Before Brittany could say anything, Wyatt pulled out his wallet, swiped his card, and paid for the meal. As a teenager working at McDonald’s, Wyatt probably doesn’t _______ much. Yet, he firmly declined all of Brittany’s _______ to return and pay him back.
While Wyatt _______ shrugged off what he did, Brittany knew this is just the kind of hope our world needs right now. So, she snapped a quick photo and shared her story on social media.
“I just want his parents to know how KIND & COMPASSIONATE their son was tonight! He made me realize this is exactly what we parents are trying to do—_______ great humans,” she wrote.
After connecting with Wyatt’s mom, Brittany discovered Wyatt was saving up for a vehicle. So she started a fundraising campaign online to help the teen realize his dream. Strangers from all over the country loved Brittany’s story. The humble teenager _______ and encouraged them. Before long, Brittany collected over $40,000 from the fundraiser!
“I don’t know how to put it into words because of just how crazy it was,” Wyatt said. “It’s just a small act of ________ and everything blew up and it’s just amazing to think that something like that can get you this far.”
