21、   Charvi Goyal is a high school student from Dallas, Texas, who helps out other classmates by tutoring them between classes. A tutor is someone who teaches one person or a very small group of students.

When Goyal's high school moved online last spring because of COVID-19, she decided to also take her teaching online. The 17-year-old junior and three of her fellow students created TutorScope, a program that offers free tutoring services to other children, including younger ones. It started with a small number of tutors who helped young people in their city. But it has grown into a group of 22 tutors from Texas, Arizona and Ohio. They have helped more than 300 students, some from as far away as South Korea.

TutorScope aims to give the one-on-one help that teachers have traditionally given while walking around their classrooms. But now, many teachers cannot provide that one-on-one support because they lack time or have issues with technology.

Sarah Newman said her children, 7-year-old twins, have had helpful TutorScope experiences. The service has freed up her and her 17-year-old son in pay attention to their work. "With these tutors, I realize they have time,“ she said, “I think they are very patient with these younger kids， which I do not even have as a mother. I have patience in other things, but I don't have patience for teaching.

What makes the TutorScope effort special is the connection between the teenage volunteers and the other students they are helping. Although the pandemic（疫情）has forced many students to look inward, Goyal said that working with others on a big project has permitted her to look outward. "My confidence level has increased," Goyal said. She added that she has made friends with other students from her school. She said one of the best things about running a growing non-profit is that it does help with the boredom of being stuck at home.

【1】What did Goyal do last spring?

A.She helped her classmates at school. B.She got active in fighting COVID-19.

C.She offered online classes to students. D.She went to South Korea for help.

【2】What's the purpose of TutorScope?

A.To give online help. B.To make profits. C.To make friends. D.To choose volunteers.

【3】What's Sarah Newman's attitude towards the program?

A.Favorable. B.Tolerant. C.Skeptical. D.Critical.

【4】What can we learn from Goyal's success?

A.Putting the cart before the horse. B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.

C.No man can do two things at once. D.Helping others will benefit oneself.

22、If you’ve ever felt a rush of intense emotion, then you’ve probably also experienced the crash that comes when those emotions gradually become less strong. Although we usually think of exhaustion (精疲力竭) in physical terms, it can also be mental. One of the contributors to mental exhaustion is high-intensity emotions. Too many of these high-intensity emotions, whether they are positive or negative, can lead to burnout.

Psychologists divide emotions into two dimensions, which includes high and low intensity, as well as positive and negative. High-intensity positive emotions include excitement or elation, while low-intensity positive emotions include calmness, or contentment. When it comes to negative emotions, high-intensity emotions include anger, anxiety, and fear, while low-intensity emotions include sadness, boredom, and tiredness.

It’s easy to see how high-intensity negative emotions like anger can be exhausting. What we don’t think about as much is the fact that high intensity positive emotions are also exhausting, although in a way that feels very different.

Excitement, even when it is fun, involves what psychologists call “physiological arousal”-- activation of our sympathetic system. High-intensity positive emotions involve the same physiological arousal as high-intensity negative emotions. Our heart rate increases, and our sweat glands (腺) activate. Because it activates the body’s stress response, excitement can deplete our system when sustained over longer periods. In other words, high intensity -- whether it’s from negative states or positive states- exhausts the body.

About 15-20% of people are thought to be highly sensitive. As they cycle through the highs and lows of life, the increased amount of intensity leaves them more exhausted than others.

This isn’t to say that we should never feel intense emotions. Emotional variety is an essential aspect of life, one that adds a depth and richness that we need. However, what we need to be mindful of is balance. There will be the exciting days, as well as the days when stress and anxiety are what push you through the tough times, but there are other, lower-intensity emotions that will serve us well in many other situations.

【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A．The functions of emotions.

B．The definition of emotions.

C．The categories of emotions.

D．The expression of emotions.

【2】What does the underlined word “deplete” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Set off.

B．Build up.

C．Stand for.

D．Burn out.

【3】How can we manage the stress of high-intensity emotions?

A．Enrich our daily lives.

B．Avoid intense emotions.

C．Create emotional balance.

D．Detect the cause of anxiety.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Why psychologists are more exhausted

B．How high-intensity emotions wear us out

C．Why high-intensity negative emotions are tiring

D．How psychologists explain the effects of emotions

23、If you're looking to maximize the amount of fat burned in your next workout, think about having a coffee half an hour before you get started. 【1】

Researchers found that 3 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight can raise the rate of fat burning during aerobic exercise.【2】The coffee dose was shown to increase maximal fat oxidation rate (MFO，脂肪氧化率) by an average of 10.7percent in the morning and 29 percent in the afternoon.

The recommendation to exercise on an empty stomach in the morning to increase fat oxidation is common.【3】 It is still unknown whether this increase is due to exercising in the morning or due to going without food for a longer period of time.

【4】Caffeine is often associated with improved athletic performance, though the science behind this link isn't as comprehensive as it could be. In later cycling tests after the caffeine had been given, the fat-burning capability of the body was measured, showing the impact that caffeine had made on MFO.Maximum oxygen uptake was also raised,as was the intensity of exercise.

The results of the study showed that acute caffeine intake 30 minutes before performing an aerobic exercise test increased MFO during exercise regardless of the time of day.【5】 Overall,these results suggest that a combination of acute caffeine intake and exercise at moderate intensity in the afternoon provides the best scenario(方案) for individuals seeking to increase whole-body fat oxidation during aerobic exercise.

A．It is based on results gathered from 15 male volunteers.

B．However, this recommendation may lack a scientific basis.

C．Evidence is mounting that morning exercise is good for your health。

D．A new study suggests it can make a significant difference to fat burning.

E．They are clear enough to suggest that there is some kind of association there.

F．Researchers have found that if cyclists take more caffeine, they will ride much faster.

G．Researchers were keen to look in detail at the relationship between caffeine and exercise.

24、Exams can be very stressful and it’s not surprising that people who feel anxious about them tend to perform worse compared to those who don’t experience such anxiety. What is surprising, according to the research published in Psychological Science by Maria Theobald at the Leibniz Institute and her colleagues, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall that leads to the problem; it is the pressure of revision.

Dr. Theobald launched a study which involved 309 German medical students who used a digital-learning platform to prepare for their final state exam. To assess their levels of anxiety, the students were asked to rate them on a five-point scale for 40 days leading up to the exam, as well as on the day of the exam and the mock exam (模拟考) taken 40 days prior.

What Dr. Theobald found was not what she expected. Anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What did predict it was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the earlier digital-learning activities. High levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place actually hampered students, leaving them with less material to recall during the exam itself.

And this is a positive discovery, for it suggests a change of approach to revision by the anxious might help improve their results. Dr. Theobald notes that test-anxiety is at its worst when students have low expectations of success and meanwhile know that passing the exam is extremely important. To reduce this anxiety, she proposes a two-fold strategy for students to consider as they revise. First, they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second, they can attach less importance to the test by reminding themselves that, while it is important, it is not a life-or-death situation. It really isn’t. Really…

【1】What is a cause of poor exam performance according to the research?

A．Pressure from peers.

B．Inexperience in tests.

C．Atmosphere in exam halls.

D．Tension during revision.

【2】How did Dr. Theobald conduct the research?

A．By grading participants’ levels of knowledge.

B．By comparing participants’ approaches to revision.

C．By analyzing participants’ anxiety levels and exam performance.

D．By collecting participants’ previous data from a learning platform.

【3】What does the underlined word “hampered” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Restricted.

B．Assisted.

C．Misled.

D．Motivated.

【4】What strategy does Dr. Theobald recommend to reduce test anxiety?

A．Setting ambitious goals.

B．Boosting self-confidence.

C．Ignoring the significance of a test.

D．Lowering the expectations of success.
