Ask someone else what they think.20You can ask two or three or four more people if two isn't enough.21If you mislead or lie to people about your opinions,then it's not surprising that you have a hard time trusting that people's compliments are genuine.Be more honest with people around you,and you'll find it much easier to believe what people say about you.A．They will be the tie breaker.B．You can check with someone else instead.C．The causes are complicated but the path to accepting compliments is simpler.D．How honest are you with your friends and family when they ask for your opinion? E．When someone is trying to pay you a compliment,they are speaking subjectively. F．When someone pays you a compliment,they are speaking about something that is observable. G．Similarly,when I call you smart or funny,I'm commenting based on my definition of smart or funny,that's how I see you.Have you considered contributing your skills and expertise virtually towards achieving sustainable human development efforts?Through the Online Volunteering service of the United Nations Volunteers(UNV)programme,you can connect with UN agencies,governments,public institutions and civil society organizations—from any device,anywhere in the world.While extending your network,you can also get first-hand practical experience.Requirements:·To sign up on the Unified Volunteering Platform and apply for Online Volunteer assignments,you must be at least18years of age.·There is no particular background required to become an Online Volunteer.Each Online Volunteer assignment is different and has its own requirements,set by the host organization.·As an Online Volunteer,you can only support organizations remotely in assignments up to20 hours per week for a maximum of12weeks for each assignment.Criteria and service rules:·Online Volunteers are not under contract with the UNV programme or the engaging organization.·Online Volunteers do not receive any kind of financial benefits.·For each Online Volunteering assignment,a maximum of25Online Volunteers can be engaged. Procedures:·Volunteers find assignments of their interest and apply.·Organizations select the volunteers they want to engage.·Volunteers and organizations work together online.·Volunteers and organizations provide feedback on their cooperation.·Organizations issue an electronic certificate of appreciation to their volunteers. 22．Through the UNV programme,one can______.A．travel around the world B．improve their network skillsC．set up civil society organizations D．work on sustainable development23．Which is a requirement for the applicants?A．Being no less than18years.B．Finishing25online assignments.C．Working at least20hours a week.D．Having some practical experience.24．When working in the UNV programme,volunteers will______.A．sign a contract with an organizationB．find tasks of their interest and applyC．get a paper certificate of appreciationD．receive some kind of financial benefitsYou may not get enough physical activity throughout the day,especially since sitting still is required or encouraged in many jobs,at school,and in social situations.But there’s something you should know.Being physically inactive or sedentary(久坐不动的)can increase health risks.25What counts as being physically inactive?While there is no strict definition of what can be considered a sedentary lifestyle, researchers have a few different measures to assess what a sedentary lifestyle is.One measure is the time an individual spends seated or reclining(向后倚靠)during waking hours.26 Some other researchers label people inactive or sedentary if they take fewer than5,000pedometer (计步器)steps per day.27In the short term,being inactive can increase depression or anxiety.It can also affect the way the body processes fats and sugars in the diet and lead to some weight gain if you aren’t burning enough calories.Over the long term,sedentary lifestyles increase the risk of death from cardiovascular(心血管的)disease,diabetes,and cancer.How can you prevent being inactive?Health authorities recommend exercise at a medium level for either30minutes a day for five days a week or a total of2hours and30minutes per week.Walking is an easy activity to add to your day.28A pedometer or fitness band can show you whether you are getting enough steps.Many people aim to take10,000steps per day,which indicates that you have met your daily physical activity goal.29but the value of being more physically active is worth it for its many benefits.A．How harmful is it?B．What’s the drawback of sedentary lifestyle?C．Fixing a sedentary lifestyle takes some conscious effort at first,D．Now let’s learn about whether you might be classified as inactive or sedentary. E．Simply walking more or doing household chores positively impacts health,F．It can work to break up sitting time and add steps hourly throughout the day. G．Spending four to six waking hours sitting or lying down is considered sedentary.TikTok has many clever tips and tricks to make life a little easier.From creative advice to practical skills,there is something for everyone on the video sharing App.Many of these methods have left viewers open-mouthed at their simplicity or scratching their heads as why they hadn’t thought of them first.But to save you some boring scrolling(滚屏),we have made a list of the best TikTok life tips in2021.Ready to be impressed?Chop onionsChopping onions is an emotional experience or,at least,it looks it.The vegetable can make us tear up,and salty liquid flowing down your cheeks is never a stylish look.However,a woman created a makeshift protective gear out of a hooded sweatshirt(连帽运动衫)and a pan cover. Next step,New York Fashion Week.Clean car headlightsIt is vital that your cars headlights stay in good working order so as to keep you safe.If yours are fogged up,just use a lemon and some baking soda.Many netizens have claimed that this method can save them some serious cash.Bathe your dogIf your dog hates having a bath,why not try peanut butter?While this one may seem ridiculous,one TikTok video has shown it is effective.In the clip the pet can be seen licking it off the side of the tub,as the owner cleans his fur.“I don’t even know I am having a bath.All I know is peanut butter,”the caption(字幕)reads.30．What can we infer from the first TikTok life tip?A．Chopping onions can make you upset.B．You can find the protective gear in New York.C．The makeshift protective gear is creative.D．It’s stylish to have tears flowing down your cheeks.31．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The tips and tricks sound easy but are difficult to apply.B．You can use a lemon and some baking soda to bathe your dog.C．Cleaning car headlights with a lemon and some baking soda is economical.D．The author finds bathing a dog with the help of peanut butter ridiculous. 32．What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To analyze the reasons why people like TikTok.B．To share some clever tips and tricks found on TikTok.C．To come up with some practical suggestions on TikTok.D．To call on people to share more tips and tricks on TikTok.What motivates you to work or study harder?Is it the thought of success and all the amazing things that you can achieve,or is it the fear of failure and worry about all the things that can go wrong for you?Leaders,managers,and teachers have often used one of these ideas to inspire people to work harder and achieve more.33A recent study looked at the effect of fear-based strategies on British secondary school students.They found that if a test is seen as important,and students are optimistic that they can succeed,then the fear of failure can be used successfully by teachers to motivate these learners. However,if students are not confident,fear-based approaches could cause feelings of anxiety. 34The study also found that if students don’t care about the test,then,unsurprisingly,the fear of failure is not likely to motivate them.35It’s a fact that most new companies will fail.But does this motivate or prevent business people?Again,it’s not straightforward.The personal consequences of failure can be significant,and so founders may be motivated to work harder to avoid them.A study carried out on British and Canadian businessmen found that fear of failure can improve problem solving,as people are motivated to anticipate and resolve potential issues.36So it will help their business in the long run.37It can drive confident people to do better,but it can also increase our doubtsand turn them into barriers.A．It may motivate them more.B．But is one better than the other?C．Fear-based motivation is complicated.D．Then it can in turn lead them to do worse.E．Businessmen often run the risk of failure.F．They may also be inspired to learn new things.G．Is this idea beneficial for you to succeed?四、语法填空38．Beijing Olympic Park,also(know)as the Olympic Green,is located in Chaoyang District,Beijing,with a total land area of11.59square kilometers.（所给词的适当形式填空）五、书信写作39．假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你和你校交换生Jim准备联合参加学校组织的校园文创设计大赛(Campus Cultural and Creative Design Competition),请给Jim发邮件，内容包括：1.分享你的创意;2.询问Jim的建议。

Is it because they are lazy? Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster(1758 — 1843). He was a teacher who reformed (改革) English to make American identity (特征) stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.After the Revolutionary War (1775 — 1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British dictionaries. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded. He used “subway” instead of British word “underground”. Some other examples are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”.Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous(unreasonable), he wrote: “A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.” Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828. He also added local words.His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity (统一) and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.“He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.”4．Which is NOT true about Webster’s dictionary?A．It has local words in it.B．It is a 70,000-word dictionary.C．All the words are spelled without “u”.D．Its words are in American-style spelling.5．What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Depend on.B．Trust in.C．Put up with.D．Give up. 6．What do people think of Webster’s dictionary?A．It is the only dictionary that Americans still use today.B．It helped to bring Americans together besides its cultural influence.C．It has no influence on the development of American English.D．It helped to make American English more useful than British English.7．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．The development of the British English.B．American English is better than British English.C．Noah Webster added local words to the dictionary.D．Noah Webster wrote an American English dictionary and reformed English.COne August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp (黄蜂) nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—— to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him.Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know what that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike (话筒), trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock (休克). Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.8．It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when _______.A．there are huge noisesB．strangers are approachingC．the air is filled with food smellD．the hottest season comes around9．Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______.A．have no after-effectsB．suffer from sharper painC．surely lose his lifeD．become more sensitive10．Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _______.A．he was unable to speak clearlyB．his radio equipment was poorC．he was in a state of shockD．no one was on duty11．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Allen, A Helpless DriverB．Wasps, Bloody KillersC．A Race Against DeathD．War Against WaspsDArmy ants are mainly distributed in South America and Africa and mostly live in the Amazon River basin. They like to live in groups and generally one or two million in a group. They are migratory, have no fixed on the move. When encountering obstacles such as gaps, army ants are able to connect their bodies to each other and build a bridge for large groups of ants to pass through, saving crawling distance. The bridge can be built and removed very quickly, in seconds.Christopher Reid of the University of Sydney’s Insect Behaviour and Ecology Laboratory, said that when studying the ant bridge, he initially assumed that once the ant bridge was built the two end positions of the bridge would be fixed, and the bridge itself would be relatively stationary (不动的).However, after observation, it was found that the ant bridge would constantly change according to the army ants’ knowledge of the outside world. The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using the ant bridge instead of taking other routes. In this way, it can continuously compress the distance to the target area.Meanwhile, the researchers have also found that the changing ant bridge does not always achieve the shortest distance. When the bridge is extended to a certain extent, the number of ants involved in the construction of the ant bridge will not continue to increase, and the length of the bridge will stop growing.Researchers believe that army ants use the best methods in the construction of bridges. Since the ants involved in building the bridge are unable to participate in other work, the colony stops putting in more ants as soon as it finds that the number of ants put into extending the bridge is out of balance with the number of ants needed for other jobs.12．What is mainly introduced about army ants in paragraph 1?A．Their migration.B．Their distribution.C．Their living habits.D．Their hunting targets.13．What did the research find about the bridge built by army ants ?A．It becomes longer constantly.B．It keeps unchanged once built.C．It achieves the shortest distance.D．It is adjusted according to the needs.14．What does the underlined word “compress” mean in paragraph 3?A．Reduce.B．Calculate.C．Neglect.D．Judge.15．What is the writing purpose of the text ?A．To stress the importance of cooperation.B．To explain army ants’ incredible strength.C．To show army ants’ collective intelligence.D．To indicate the harmony between nature and human.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

If I am going to be a punchline(笑柄), I'd rather be the author of the joke.There was a lot of name-calling. Some cruel, some not. I have blocked out much of the cruel In junior high, a well-meaning acquaintance called me Stretch. In university, I was Shortly brought on myself when a friend said,"I'll see you shortly,"to which I replied,"Sounds good, and don't call me Shortly.Jokes and nicknames aside, there were some real challenges as a short person. Studies have shown short men tend to make less money on average. This is why I hated in-person job interviews.I always feared my height would cost me an opportunity. I always felt judged, real or not.As I get older, and obviously wiser, it doesn't get to me as much. There are some benefits of being short. I find airplane seats spacious. I am good at hide and seek. I rarely bump my head.Would I still want to be taller? Of course. But I wouldn't be me. I am me because I'm short. And Ilike who I am.It's such a part of me that I cheer on fellow short people.

They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievements.A study on "slash youth"published in the China Youth Research magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon: with part of modern society's structured organization and stability norms are broken, flexible labor markets and structural unemployment has emerged, eliminating the sense of job security of the young people in employment. Young people also face the dilemma of self-actualization, including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in the profession.. which forces them to re-find the meaning of work."The‘slash life'shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive,and it welcomes everyone's self fulfillment," said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher fromTianjin Academy of Social Sciences. The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the"slash life"of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation culture affected the market.8．Which is true about the. slash youth?A．Tending to pursue meaningful achievements.B．Enjoying posting themselves on social media.C．Adjusting themselves to challenges in life.D．Refusing to undertake multiple careers.9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The significance of flexible labor markets.B．Reasons for the appearance of slash youth.C．Young people's interest in their profession.D．Causes of losing power among the youth.10．What does Shi Yanrong think of the slash life?A．It can gain people's independence.B．It inspires young people's creativity.C．It can pick up an economic growth.D．It enables young people to earn high.11．What is the purpose of the text?A．To provide latest career guidance.B．To introduce a social phenomenon.C．To analyze a new cultural difference.D．To highlight a unique life experience.阅读理解A study published in the journal Nature Geoscience last week revealed soil samples collected by China's Chang'e-5 lunar probe contained impact glass beads(珠子) that held water in the form of hydroxyl(氢), a molecule consisting of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom. Hydroxyl ion is one of the most common ions found in water.These glass beads are created when meteoroids(流星体) hit the moon's surface, throwing up hot molten droplets which then cool and turn solid. They function like a sponge, soaking up hydrogen atoms carried by the solar wind to form hydroxyl, thus playing a key role in the water cycle of the lunar surface.While each be ad only holds a tiny amount of water, these glass balls are so ubiquitous on the moon researchers estimated lunar soils could store as much as 270 billion metric tons of water. For decades, scientists thought the moon was bone dry until discoveries in recent years revealed its soil could hold water."The moon potentially holding 270 billion metric tons of water is quite substantial, though it pales in comparison to the amount of water in the Earth's oceans," said Hu Sen, a researcher from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.These findings not only provide insight on the origins, storage, and transportation of water on celestial(天空的)bodies without atmospheres, but they also may prove helpful for planning and building a sustainable human habitat on these planets, he added.12．What do glass beads on the moon's surface function?A．As a sponge taking in hydrogen atoms.B．As meteoroids hitting the moon's surface.C．As hydroxyl beneath the lunar surface.D．As a source of energy for water cycle.13．What does the underlined word"ubiquitous"mean in paragraph.3?A．Rare.B．Common.C．Obvious.D．Energetic.14．What could be the potential sources of water on the lunar surface?A．Water from Earth.B．Water from the sun.C．Water from the stars.D．Water from meteoroids.15．What's the best title of this passage?A．The Key Role of Hydroxyl in LunarB．New Discoveries based on Moon'sC．Glass Beads Found on Moon's SurfaceD．Scientists Discover Water Reservoir二、第一部分阅读理解，第二节任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
