11．I'm a talker.I'm into debating，gossiping and teasing.I solve problems by talking them through.This works perfectly well when I have people to talk to.Under lockdown，however，I've only had my partner，Peter.We not only lived，worked and traveled together，we socialized together，too.Under the first UK lockdown，our constant closeness began to feel uncomfortable.
For the first time in our 10 years together，we needed to be alone.I tried to manufacture this by going on walks on my own，but a short walk in the local park wasn't doing the job.I considered my options and hit upon an idea：the semi-solo hike.Could we do a circular hike but walk in different directions？This would give us the space and peace of a solo hike.It felt like a promising compromise，so I told him about it.He thought it was thoroughly silly but agreed to give it a try.
We started with a four-mile loop（環(huán)形）from Reeth.At the start，we parted ways.At first，I was aware of how close we were，which lessened the appeal.Walking alone offers freedom and alone time，but here I was with my boyfriend nearby.As I gained ground，however，I found myself very much alone.I set my own pace，and I decided to take my time.
I sat on a rock and breathed out.That moment-with the weak sun through the clouds and the breeze blowing across makeshift（臨時的）pools-felt extraordinary to me.I was born and raised in London and had never imagined leaving until I met an outdoorsman（野外活動愛好者）.Now，my former life as a city girl felt crazy.Realizing what I had gained，I felt the tension leave me.There，in the chilly air，I no longer needed to talk.The semi-solo hike gave us a shared experience with added room to breathe.I didn't see Peter en route（在途中）but reunited back where we started，both of us sheepish（難為情的）but pleased.The semi-solo hike is admittedly silly in theory，but for me it has been a lifeline.It has given me the gift of time alone and，in a year of constant closeness，the joy of reuniting.
（1）Why did the author decide to do a semi-solo hike？
A．To get rid of the lockdown.
B．To find some individual space.
C．To meet more people to socialize.
D．To seek the pleasure of reuniting
（2）How did the author feel at the beginning of the hike？
A．Curious.
B．Thrilled.
C．Unsatisfied.
D．Relaxed.
（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A．Interest is the best teacher.
B．Exercise helps increase confidence.
C．Living in the city limits our imagination.
D．An appropriate distance creates happiness.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Hiking together
B．Spending time apart
C．Taking exercise alone
D．Reuniting with my partner組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5 -
12．Jeremy from America cannot understand why a lady he met outside the Hyde Park in London said， "Ooh，isn't it cold？"，and he thinks of this behaviour as a distinctively English concern about the weather．In fact，the female was just trying to strike up a conversation with Jeremy．Not necessarily a long conversation - just an exchange of greetings．It is not always quite that obvious，but all English weather conversations have a distinctive structure conducted according to unwritten but accepted rules．
The unpredictable nature of our weather ensures that there is always something new to comment on，or perhaps most importantly，agree about．We have already established that weather-speak greetings like "Cold，isn't it？" require the response expressing agreement，as in "Yes，isn't it？"．It would be very rude to respond with "No，actually it's quite mild．" or "It's pretty hot to me．" If you deliberately break the rule，you will find that the atmosphere becomes rather tense and awkward．There may be an uncomfortable silence．Most likely，they will either change the subject or continue talking about the weather among themselves politely，if coldly，ignoring your faux pas．
There is，however，one situation in which English weather-speakers are not required to observe the agreement rule at all and that is the male-bonding argument，particularly the pub-argument．In the special environment of the pub，constant disagreement - not just on the weather，but on everything else as well - is a means of expressing friendship．
While we may spend much of our time complaining about our weather，foreigners are not allowed to criticize it．Indeed，this brings us to the weather - as - family rule．In this respect，we treat the English weather like a member of our family：one can complain about the behaviour of one's own children or parents，but any blame from an outsider is unacceptable．The weather may be one of the few things about which the English are still unconsciously and unashamedly patriotic （愛國的）．
（1）Why did the lady comment on the weather to Jeremy？
A．To build up friendship．
B．To begin a casual chat．
C．To send seasonal greetings．
D．To express dissatisfaction．
（2）What does the underlined phrase "faux pas" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．Improper response．
B．Careless attitude．
C．Rude interruption．
D．Frequent complaint．
（3）What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？
A．Male bonding in pubs．
B．Argument about weather．
C．Exception to the agreement rule．
D．Making friends by disagreement．
（4）What is the best title for this text？
A．Politeness Tips for Foreigners
B．Accepted Rules in Social Life
C．English Politeness in Weather Conversation
D．Hidden Rules of English Weather Conversation組卷：11引用：3難度：0.5 -
13．Last year scientists reported using a neural implant（神經(jīng)植入物）in a man's brain to restore his ability to communicate.The man has been partially paralyzed and unable to produce comprehensible speech since suffering a severe stroke.It is the latest advance in the exploding field of brain-computer interfaces （接口） or BCIs，which allow computers to read information out of a living brain.
Brain-computer interfaces are possible because of two facts.The first is that your brain contains hundreds of tiny maps.Each represents specific features of your physical feelings and intended actions.And crucially，the basic set of brain maps and their locations within the brain are very similar across individuals.
Thanks to their specialized functions and universal locations，brain maps are ideal entry points for BCI technologies.Picking up signals from a brain map is only the first step in making a useful BCI.Although the location of a brain map is the same across individuals，the details what patterns of activity within the map mean-differ from person to person.In a sense，the unique features of your specific brain maps serve as a kind of encryption （加密），safeguarding your specific thoughts and feelings from would-be spies.
That brings us to the second fact that makes BCIs possible.Thanks to advances in machine learning，scientists have developed programs that can learn to recognize key patterns in a vast sea of numbers.They train these programs to decode（解碼）brain signals by feeding them tons of examples.Researchers developing BCIs often create such examples by instructing an individual to think specific thoughts at specific times，creating a neural curriculum for the program to learn from.
While the universal features and locations of brain maps make them obvious entrances for BCIs，the unique features of your brain maps tend to protect them from spying eyes.In cases where BCIs have successfully read specific thoughts or intentions from a brain，it has been with the permission of the individual whose brain was being read.But there are surreptitious ways to train decoders on your brain without your knowledge.This can happen if your neural data falls into the hands of companies with detailed information about your activities.
Like all technologies，brain-computer interfaces are not necessarily good or bad.Yet while harvesting the benefits of BCIs，we need to ensure that we have the means to protect ourselves from corporations with every motive to take advantage of this technology for their financial gain.
（1）What can we learn about brain maps？
A．They carry unique messages.
B．They can process encrypted signals.
C．Their functions vary from person to person.
D．Their locations reveal human thinking patterns.
（2）What can we infer from the passage？
A．BCIs can boost brain signals dramatically.
B．BCIs could help recover from brain injuries.
C．Machine learning enables BCIs to read mind.
D．The decoding of brain may be affected by BCIs.
（3）What does the underlined word "surreptitious" in Paragraph 5 probably mean？
A．Secure.
B．Stable.
C．Standard.
D．Secret.
（4）What does the passage mainly talk about？
A．The future trend of BCIs.
B．The potential risks of BCIs.
C．The working principle of BCIs.
D．The general applications of BCIs.組卷：9引用：2難度：0.4

40．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
On a hot September afternoon，Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library.When they passed by Tubman Park，Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library.As they entered the park，the sight of the swings （秋千） and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there.But now everything looked so old，sad，and dirty.Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin.There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground.A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library，the two high school students wrinkled their forehead.In the library，they encountered Mrs.Evans，their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher，retired yet still passionate.Mrs.Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they'd seen.Finally，she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns.
The next day，Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer.They were informed that the city couldn't help with their problem due to a tight budget.Discouraged，they left and turned to Mrs.Evans for help.
Under her guidance，they decided to ask Go Green，a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment，for help. "This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours，" said Mrs.Evans.She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green.Hearing this，their face lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead：researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation.As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking，they cooperated quite well.Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash sin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often，which saves time，money，and energy.Based on this，Peter practiced his presentation over and over again.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右：
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作符。
Para 1：A week later，Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting.
