22、 On New Year’s Eves, I would reflect on my best days of the year. Sometimes they were the days I expected. Parties, vacations, weddings. But more often, the real best days weren’t the obvious ones. They were marked by the ordinary: a long conversation with a friend or an unexpected visitor.
The problem with these best days was that they went by without me realizing how special they were. Could I find a way to know when the best days were coming and really feel them as they happened?
So I tried to declare a best day in advance. Even if it felt ridiculous, this effort to make what seemed to be common feel extraordinary usually worked. Staying up chatting until late at night or going for a weekend run through a park in the sunshine felt as wonderful as I had hoped it would. Mundane experiences felt different when I marked them as such.
Marking experiences this way is one key to happiness, said Dr. Robert Waldinger, a psychiatrist, the director of the Harvard Happiness Study. “Often we’ll remember the things that more emotionally loaded as opposed to the neutral, the flat, the boring. That’s why you probably can’t remember what you had for dinner last Monday — unless it was something.”
Looking back at 2021, I realized that I was too busy following the news and wishing my would go back to normal. But lately I’ve found the unhappiness during the pandemic made unhappy before, too. The loneliness that I worried at times might become a permanent area of adulthood. They were excuses I made as I waited for something to change.
We can’t wait anymore. The stress we feel now isn’t going to magically disappear, just as it never would have before the pandemic. There’s only one thing we can control: How are we going to live in it? Why not try to have a best day right now, maybe even tonight? So I’m going to go back to my practice of declaring a best day in advance. I’ll start by declaring today or tomorrow or next Monday one of the best days of 2022. I’ll decide to do something I enjoy — it could be as simple as having some friends over or going for a walk.

A．specific
B．ordinary
C．occasional
D．special
【2】Why does the author mention the words from Dr. Robert Waldinger?
A．To prove what the author tried to do was right.
B．To spread the knowledge about the happiness study.
C．To prove we can’t remember the boring and flat information.
D．To convince readers of the importance of the happiness study.
【3】According to the passage, what attitude should the author have towards negative emotions during the pandemic?
A．Believe these emotions will disappear in the future.
B．Realize these emotions are special in this period.
C．Believe these emotions will not influence his life.
D．Realize these emotions exist in other periods too.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A．You Can Wait For the Best Day.
B．You Can Make Any Day the Best Day.
C．You Can Own the Emotionally Best Day.
D．You Can Recall the Best Day.
23、As global climate change becomes more serious, growing crops will be a major challenge. Massive heat waves and droughts (干旱) are already doing harm to farmers: Over the next three decades, California’s San Joaquin Valley alone could lose up to 535, 000 acres of farming land as a result of the shortage of water supplies.
Jennifer Brophy wants to help solve that problem. She’s an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford, and works on methods that she hopes will be used to change crop species so that they can survive severe conditions. At present, Brophy is developing new genetic(基因的) engineering techniques that can help crops survive droughts.
In order to promote plants to respond to extreme climate, Brophy is building what she calls “genetic circuits”. Besides changing the genes within plant cells, this method also changes how and when those genes are activated. If the plant senses a specific sugar, it can express one protein (蛋白质); if it senses another signal, it’ll express a different protein, kicking off an entirely separate chain of events. If both signals are there, the plant may be able to express something else entirely. “Using circuits, you can have plants respond in new ways to all these different inputs,” she says.
“Normally, a plant doesn’t necessarily know what’s coming. It just knows if it’s hot or temperate right now,” says Brophy. This can lead to problems when weather becomes unstable: A plant that usually flowers in spring may flower in winter if there’re a few unseasonably warm days. When temperatures fall quickly again, the flowers die and ruin a year of crops. “It’d be great to be able to communicate with plants to tell them, ‘Hey, you should wait on that flowering, ’” she adds.
Controlling plants’ growth at this level is exciting, but actually putting it into practice is not an easy task. At the moment, Brophy is testing the method in the lab using a small weedy plant called Arabidopsis. She’s still in the process of figuring out how to activate certain genes on command.
【1】Why is California’s San Joaquin Valley mentioned?
A．To prove the significance of growing more crops.
B．To point out the barrier to increasing water supplies.
C．To show the harmful effect of climate change on farming.
D．To tell the root cause of more severe global climate change.
【2】What is the expected function of genetic circuits?
A．Creating warmer living conditions.
B．Increasing plants’ exposure to nature.
C．Controlling plants’ growth on demand.
D．Monitoring the protein in the plants.
【3】What does the text say about Jennifer Brophy’s research？
A．It still has a long way to go.
B．It is actually an easy task.
C．It has proved successful.
D．It turns out meaningless.
【4】What is the text mainly about？
A．A victorious battle against global warming.
B．A way to help crops survive climate change.
C．A scientific breakthrough in bioengineering.
D．A new type of crops resistant to heat waves.
24、People with satisfying relationships and positive emotions live healthier and longer. 【1】 Emotion regulation improves with age. We see improvement for most people, but not for everyone.
Why some people do not experience these improvements?
Most of the people in these studies are people from Western rich societies. 【2】 And most of them are middle-class people who are employed. Compared to younger people of comparable status, the older people looked a lot better. But if they are in bad situations, you may not see these benefits.
Are these the kinds of things that weigh on young people’s minds?
What’s really important for emotional well-being is to know that your future is secure. Younger people are healthy and expect to have a long life ahead of them. 【3】 As people get older, there is less time left and they start valuing emotional goals more. Older people will spend time with family and friends.
Is there a risk of becoming too emotionally comfortable?
You can be so comfortable that you no longer meet any challenges and you really need to stay engaged in cognitive challenges. In a recent study, we asked over 2, 500 people about the relatively minor stressors they had experienced. About 10 percent of the people reported never having experienced even one. They also reported being happier than those who reported at least one. 【4】 They also reported having received or given less help to others and that they had spent more time watching TV.
【5】
People need to know themselves and make decisions that create lives where they are active and engaged in a way that makes them feel a sense of belonging. They need activities that are challenging for them, where they learn new information and remember this information. They need to engage in physical activities that maintain or even strengthen their physical health. They need to engage in behaviors that ensure their physical health and emotional well-being.
A．A lot of them have financial security.
B．What should people do to achieve balance?
C．Young people are faced with constant stressors.
D．What should people do to stay happy and healthy?
E．They value hard work and enjoy planning for the future.
F．What we also found was that they performed worse on cognitive tests.
G．Psychological well-being is related to lower levels of stress and better health.

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。
Erie was a little boy who was raised in an orphanage (孤儿院). He had always wished that he could fly like a bird. It was very difficult for him to understand why he could not fly. There were birds at the 200 that were much bigger than him, and they could fly.
“Why can’t I?” he thought. “Is there something wrong with me?” he wondered.
Jerry was another little boy who was crippled (瘸). He had always wished that he could walk and run like other kids.
“Why can’t I be like them?” he thought.
One afternoon Eric ran away from the orphanage. He came upon a park where he saw Jerry playing in the sandbox. Eric noticed that Jerry was crippled. He ran over to Jerry and asked him if he had ever wanted to fly like a bird.
“No,“ said Jerry, ” But I have wondered what it would be like to walk and nun like other kids.”
“That is very sad,” said Erie, “But do you think we could be friends?”
“Sure.” Jerry said excitedly.
The two little boys played for hours. They made sand castles and made really funny sounds with their mouths. Sounds made them laugh really hard. Then Jerry’s father came with a wheelchair to pick him up. Eric instantly ran over to Jerry’s father and whispered something into his ear.
“That would be OK,” said Jerry’s father.
