21、It is not uncommon for people to say they have no sense of direction. The sense of direction represents the ability to find one’s way. In other words, it is about getting from point A to point B without a hitch. The journey begins with determining the initial position using landmarks in the environment. It’s really about choosing a route and following it. It is also a question of testing that this same route is the correct one, with the mental representation of space or the help of tools such as maps. Finally, the ability to identify the point of arrival is obviously very important.

In a study published in 2009, scientist Giuseppe Iaria, a scientist of the University of Calgary (Canada), who specializes cognitive neural (认知神经) networks indicated that people lacking a sense of direction have a special condition: Developmental Topographical Disorientation (DTD).

The sense of direction requires large neural networks for proper functioning, according to the expert. However, the fact is that a majority of people are unable to put a map in their head while on the move. In her book Mind in Motion (2019), Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University (USA) Barbara Tversky explains how most people do it.

She introduces a combination of methods. It’s a mix of turn-by-turn directions, bird’s-eye views and general information in the form of maps. However, it should be noted that most medium-complexity navigation (导航) directions depend in part on the ability of people to understand the perspective of a map. In other words, people without a sense of direction follow a route in pieces. Thus, they have no expanded understanding for space and navigate their environment without any mental map of their destinations.

However, there is a solution, namely to guide the person through a series of short routes.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “without a hitch” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．With ease.

B．By oneself.

C．In a short time.

D．Without hesitation.

【2】What is the cause of going short of a sense of direction?

A．Being unable to put a map at hand.

B．Expanded understanding for space.

C．Lack of guiding through short routes.

D．Neural networks’ improper functioning.

【3】What could be a challenge for someone without a sense of direction?

A．Reading a map.

B．Forming a map in mind.

C．Following a route in pieces.

D．Finishing a series of short routes.

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A．Mental map contributes to the sense of direction.

B．Having no sense of direction is merely an excuse.

C．Most people have long routes in their mind.

D．People with a sense of direction don’t need a map.

22、About seven years ago, Kristin and Josh Mohagen were honeymooning in Napa Valley in California, when they smelled something surprising in their glasses of wine； green pepper. It was explained that the grapes in that bottle had ripened on a hillside alongside a field of green peppers. “That was my first experience with terroir,” Josh Mohagen says.

It made an impression. Inspired by their time in Napa, the Mohagens returned home and launched a chocolate business based on the principle of terroir , often defined as “sense of place”.

The definition of terroir is somewhat fluid. Wine enthusiasts use the French term to describe the environmental conditions in which a grape is grown that give a wine its unique taste and smell. The soil, climate and even the orientation (朝向) of a hillside or the company of neighboring plants, and insects play a role. Some experts expand terroir to include specific cultural practices for growing and processing grapes that could also influence taste.

The idea of terroir is quite old. In the Middle Ages, the wine-makers in Burgundy, France, divided the countryside into different climate areas, according to differences in the landscape that seemed to translate into unique wine characteristics. Wines produced around the village of Gearey-Chambertin, for example, “are famous for being fuller-bodied, powerful arid more tannic than most,” says Joe Quinn, wine director of The Red Hen, a restaurant in Washington, D. C. “In contrast, the wines from the village of Chambolle- Musigny, just a few miles south, are widely considered to be more fine, delicate and light- bodied.”

A recent wave of scientific research suggests that the environment and production practices can, in fact, produce a chemical or microbial (微生物的) signature so distinctive that scientists can use the signature to trace food back to its origin. And in some cases, these techniques are beginning to offer clues on how terroir can shape the smell and taste of food and drinks.

【1】What impressed the Mohagens most during their stay in Napa?

A．The smell from the wine.

B．The field of green peppers.

C．The scenery of Napa Valley.

D．The ripe grapes on a hillside.

【2】What does the underlined word “fluid” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Impractical.

B．Specific.

C．Uncertain.

D．Conventional.

【3】Why did the author quote a wine director in Paragraph 4?

A．To demonstrate the effect of terroir.

B．To introduce two types of grape wine.

C．To prove the long history of terroir.

D．To get a restaurant known to the public.

【4】What can be learned about terroir from the text?

A．Its research is of little benefit.

B．It gives food its unique features.

C．Its value needs to be further tested.

D．It is a newly-acknowledged concept.

23、Hundreds of thousands of adolescents in China have benefited from a mental health service project co-initiated by the United Nations Children’s Fund and the National Health Commission of China.

The project focuses on preventive intervention(防御性干预)to build awareness, knowledge and skills among adolescents for better mental health and to provide information on how they can access mental health services, which are expected to reach over half a million adolescents from more than 430 schools around China.

Under this project, a service package has been delivered to trained counselors and teachers, to better guide them on how to tackle adolescent mental health issues.

More than 13 percent of adolescents aged 10 to 19 around the world are afflicted with a mental disorder as defined by the World Health Organization, according to The State of the World’s Children 2021 released by UNICEF.

Compared to adults, adolescents tend not to seek help for mental health problems due to fears about confidentiality and public stigma(耻辱), as well as a lack of relevant knowledge about mental health services, according to UNICEF.

The service package involves positive psychology in devising multiple measures, including group sessions, mindfulness-based stress reduction and attention exercises, screening and referral for mental health disorders in health facilities, as well as social media and hotline communication.

The five-year project is just the first step to address people’s awareness and reduce related social stigma, according to Cynthia McCaffrey, UNICEF representative to China. “Stigma is preventing children and young people from seeking treatment and limiting their opportunities to grow, learn and thrive,” she says. “Parents, other caregivers, teachers and public figures need to create an environment where young people feel that it’s safe to talk about their mental health.”

“We absorbed the advanced experience of the project into our own service model. As well as the current two pilots in this project, we will spread the service model to more counties and districts,” says Zhang Haiyan, an associate chief physician from the Maternal and Child Care Service Center in Chongqing.

“We have delivered more than 100 lectures across the city and carried out more than 200 mobile clinic services in schools,” says Zhang. “In the future, we will develop a more suitable service model for key groups, such as “left-behind” children whose parents work in big cities.”

【1】What can we learn about the mental health service project?

A．It was started by the National Health Commission of China.

B．It aims to build awareness, knowledge and skills among people.

C．It can offer information on how to gain mental health services.

D．It has benefited over half a million adolescents.

【2】What is the purpose of the delivery of the service package?

A．To help adults solve public stigma.

B．To train counselors and teachers about the project.

C．To help adolescents aged 10 to 19 all around the world.

D．To teach counselors and teachers to solve adolescent mental health problems.

【3】What does Zhang expect of the mental health service project?

A．It needs to create a safe environment for young people.

B．It will spread the service model to more districts in China.

C．It will deliver lectures and mobile clinic services in schools.

D．It will build a better service model for special children.

【4】Where is the text most likely from?

A．A diary.

B．A magazine.

C．A science fiction.

D．A guidebook.

24、Harvest

Tabby walked on her way to school. She felt a sense of anticipation because this year she would be one of the graduates being honored at the town festival.

These days, she was waiting to hear back about an admission application she sent to her top- choice college. It had the program that she was most excited about. Today she stayed late at school to get feedback on another college essay from Ms. Mueller, her high school teacher. Ms. Mueller told Tabby that her essay was very moving and that she knew Tabby would miss her hometown, but her degree would be worth it. Tabby responded gratefully.

On the way home, the sight of the festival decorations made her feel guilty. She knew that most of her classmates could happily enjoy the festival knowing that they would be going on to do exactly what was expected of them-carrying on the town’s traditions by staying close to family and farm. Spending many years at a large university in a city somewhere far from home wasn’t supposed to be part of their plan.

When Tabby got home, her family was preparing packages with homemade cookies to sell at the festival.

“Let’s make an assembly line(流水线), ”said Tabby.

“Always trying to improve the process, aren’t you?” her brother laughed. Tabby knew what he was referring to. Last summer, Tabby discovered a technique for improving grain storage without costly equipment, which was adopted by local farmers.

After completing packing, Tabby went to her room. On her bed, she saw a large envelope from the college she was waiting to hear from. She had been accepted into the famous college-the one with the world-renowned agricultural science program!

The first person Tabby shared the news with was her grandfather. He gave her a big hug. “I guess my scientist girl still has farming in the blood, ” he said. “Yes! And I will come back and do some research right here in a few years, ” she said. “Well, this old farm could certainly use some improvements! I’m proud of you, Tabby!” he said.

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。

Ms Hart stood in front of her class on the very first day of school and told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students, saying that she loved them all the same, treating them all alike. And that was impossible because there in front of her, right on the third row, was a little boy named George.

Ms Hart had watched George the year before and noticed he was seldom engaged in school games, that he always wore torn dusty clothes and that he constantly needed a bath. As a whole, George was unpleasant.

When Ms Hart was required to review each child’s records, she put George’s off until last. But his file turned out a surprise. His first-grade teacher wrote, “George is a bright child with a ready augh. He is a joy to be around.”

Another teacher wrote, “George is an excellent student well-liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a serious illness and life at home must be a struggle.” The next wrote. “George continues to work hard but his mother’s death has been hard on him. Since his father doesn’t show much interest, his home life will soon, affect him if some steps aren’t taken.”

The last record wrote, “George is silent and doesn’t show much interest in school. He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class. He could become a problem.”

By now Ms Hart realized the problem and Christmas was coming fast. Her children brought her presents, all in beautiful ribbon and bright paper, except for George’s, which was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper of a scissored grocery bag. Ms Hart took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a toy bracelet with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume. She stopped the children’s laughter when she declared how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and wearing some of the perfume behind the other wrist.

George stayed behind just long enough to say, “Ms Hart, today you smelled just like my mom used to.”

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。

After George left, Ms Hart decided to care for him like a mother.
