Shawn Triplett，who now works as a volunteer at a local elementary school，was recently helping out at a shelter when he witnessed a damaging interaction between a mom and her young child after they had been displaced by the tornadoes.
"I saw a child crying in his mother's arms.She was crying too，but you could tell she was doing her best to look strong，"he recalls."The boy told his mom，'I've lost my Christmas.'It was at that moment that I broke down and had to walk outside."

While the toys were fully covered by the donors，Triplett said he had been footing the bill for wrapping paper.He planned to deliver the gifts in person in a Santa costume closer to Christmas."We chose to wrap them so that the kids get the full experience of what Christmas should be，"he said."We're doing everything we can to normalize a traumatic（创伤的）experience for them，even if just for a few hours."

Horseback riding might not seem like a typical New York City activity，but one program has several horse farms throughout the city's busy districts.GallopNYC provides lessons to veterans（老兵）and people with disabilities—horseback riding is their therapy（疗法）.
Olivia Diver visits the GallopNYC location in the Howard Beach neighborhood in Queens.Diver has only been riding horses for a few months，but says she's already felt the benefits."It helped me come out of my comfort zone and be less shy and less in my shell，"she said.Trying something new shows her she can accomplish other things as well.
James Wilson，executive director at GallopNYC，says there are many ways horses can be therapeutic."The horse sees the world in the way somebody with post-traumatic stress disorder（PTSD）might see the world，in a really guarded，sort of anxious way，"he explained."So，somebody with PTSD and a horse can sort of partner together and see the world in the same way and kind of take care of each other."Horses can also help with physical disabilities.After two years of therapeutic riding，a teenager，who had so little core strength that his mother had to be in the bathtub with him，had enough core strength that he could be in the shower by himself.Wilson said，"The movement of the horse will loosen up muscles that might be really tight.And the movement helps stimulate other body parts and other
muscles that you might not use."
"GallopNYC has about1，000people on its waitlist for lessons，but prioritizes people with disabilities and veterans.We believe that everybody benefits from the time on a horse，so if you want to ride a horse，come on，let's go，"Wilson said.Lessons are＄55，but the non-profit fundraises to help cover or lower the cost for customers who may need support.
8.Why does GallopNYC offer the lessons？______
A.To make horse riding typical in NYC.

C.Profit James Wilson has got.
D.Ways of guarding people's anxiety.
11.What does Wilson think of the program according to the last paragraph______

Science reporting on climate change does lead Americans to adopt more accurate beliefs and support government action on the issue，but these gains are fragile，a new study suggests.Researchers found that these accurate beliefs fade quickly when people are exposed to coverage skeptical of climate change.
"It is not the case that the American public does not respond to scientifically informed reporting when they are exposed to it，"said Thomas Wood，associate professor of political science at the Ohio State
University."But even truly accurate science reporting recedes from people's frame of reference very quickly."
Results showed that accurate science reporting didn't persuade only politicians and people who initially rejected human-caused climate change also had their opinions shifted by reading accurate articles.The study involved2，898online participants who participated in four waves of the experiment during the fall of2020.
In the first wave，they all read authentic articles in the popular media that provided information reflecting the seientifie views on climate change.In the second and third waves，they read either another scientific article，an opinion article that was skeptical of climate science，or an article on an unrelated subjeet.In the fourth wave，the participants simply were asked their beliefs about the science of climate change and their policy attitudes.
To rate participants'scientific understanding.the researchers asked after each wave if they believed that climate change is happening and has a human cause.To measure their attitudes，researchers asked participants if they favored government action on climate change and if they favored renewable energy. "What we found suggests that people need to hear the same accurate messages about climate change again and again.If they only hear it once，it recedes very quickly，"Wood said.It was significant that accurate reporting had positive effects on all groups，including those who originally rejected climate change.But it was even more encouraging that it affected attitudes.
12.What does the underlined word"recedes"in paragraph2mean？______
A.Increases.
B.Graduates.
C.Disappears.
D.Strikes.
13.What does paragraph4mainly tell us______
A.The research object.
B.The research result.
C.The research purpose.
D.The research procedure.
14.Why did researchers ask participants the second question？______
A.To survey the government's satisfaction rate.
B.To make an assessment on their attitudes.
C.To teach them scientific understanding.
D.To measure action on climate change.
15.What can be the best title for the text？______
A.Science Report Of Climate Change Can Affect Minds
B.Online Participants Joined In A Four-Wave Experiment
C.Accurate Science Reporting Don't Persuade Only Politicians
D.People Should Hear Accurate Messages About Climate Change

38.I was driving home from school one hot summer day when I realized that my car was not working right.I kept driving and prayed that it would hold out the3hours that I still had to
go.Seconds later，everything in my car died and I barely made it off to the shoulder.
Knowing absolutely nothing about cars，I pulled off to check the oil because that was the only thing I knew how to do.As I was doing this，an older man in a truck pulled behind me and asked if I needed help.Of course，I couldn't turn him down since I was so far from home.He could see that I
was shaken up and told me to get back in the car and he would take a look to see what was wrong. After some investigating，he informed me that it was my transmission（变速器）and he could jump my car enough to make it to the service station which was just a mile up the road.After charging my car，he led me to the station and went in to tell the mechanic what was wrong.He came back out seconds later to tell me the mechanic was out on a break and probably wouldn't be back.However，there was a shop with auto parts and he would see if they had the right part.He went ahead and purchased the transmission for me and said he could again jump my car enough to drive it up the road to his place where he had a shop where he
worked on tractors.
I again followed him up the highway to his shop and he began working on my car while I sat in the driver's seat.After working for about an hour，trying to get the old transmission out and the new one in，he realized that he had gotten the wrong transmission and would go back into town and get the right one.While doing that，he sent me into the house where his wife had a little hair salon.
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。

She offered me something to eat and drink while I waited.______

因此
C.They both have a2nd-century building.（两者都有一座2世纪的建筑）符合题意。

故选C。

（2）细节理解题。

（3）细节理解题。

故选D。

这是一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍了四个欧洲最值得一去的地方。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。

阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。

其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。

此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。

要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。

推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。

它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。

我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

4~7.【答案】B、C、D、C
【解析】（1）细节理解题。

故选C。

（3）细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段中He also partnered with the local supermarket，which provided a 25%discount on all purchases for him.（他还与当地的超市合作，超市为他购买所有商品提供25%的折扣）可知，当地超市给Triplett打折。
