【原文】
W: White T-shirts are very common in our daily life. But do you know the history of the white T-shirts Well, white cotton T-shirts were first worn by the US Navy and by 1948, every American soldier was wearing one too. But it was Hollywood films that made the T-shirt really popular: actors Marlon Brando and James Dean wore classic white T-shirts in On the Waterfront and Rebel Without a Cause. After these films, every young man wanted to wear one. Women didn’t begin to wear T-shirts until the end of the 1950s. In the 1959 French film Breathless, American actress Jean Seberg wore a T-shirt advertising an English language newspaper. This started a new fashion for T-shirts for women. Later, the T-shirt became a way of saying something important. For example, soon after the black American leader Angela Devis went to prison in 1970, people all around the world were wearing T-shirts with the message “Free Angela”. In the 1970s, French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent designed a famous blue T-shirt with his name in white letters.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
BEST OF THE WORLD
Our annual list highlights travel destinations that inspire connections and wonder. Here are four starting points to launch your own travel plan.
Dodecanese Islands, Greece
Waves of conquerors-Romans, Ottomans, Italians-left their fingerprints on everything from the architecture to the food on these Greek islands. Today’s invaders come not for fortune but for selfies(自拍).Now less visited parts of the isles,like Karpathos,hope to balance the economic need for tourism with the environmental stresses caused by it.
Tuli Block, Botswana
Travelers to Botswana have become more interested in seeing more craft-based tours and village homestays since COVID.A National Geographic explorer, Mookod, is establishing an education program in 10 remote villages, which shows the village teachers how to weave the environment and local culture into their lessons.
Louangphabang, Laos
The pandemic closed the borders of many tourism-dependent countries like Laos. But the Southeast Asian nation hopes the Chinese-constructed bullet train will boost domestic travel. Its 260-mile route within Laos starts at the border town of Boten, crosses more than 70 tunnels and 160 bridges, runs through Louangphabang, and ends in the capital, Vientiane.
Choquequirao, Peru
Choquequirao is one of the most remote Inca sites in the Peruvian Andes. Numerous temples, terraces(梯田),and squares are yet to be fully unearthed. But new infrastructure plans are expected to boost visits to Machu Picchu’s sister city.
21.What would travelers like to do most on Dodecanese Islands
A.Admire ancient buildings. B.Enjoy tasty food.
C.Make a fortune. D.Take beautiful photos.
22.Which travel destination best suits people who prefer railway journeys

【答案】21.D 22.C 23.C
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个登上了年度榜单的旅游目的地。
21.细节理解题。根据“Dodecanese Islands, Greece”部分的“Today’s invaders come not for fortune but for selfies(今天来的旅游者不是为了财富,而是为了自拍)”可知,游客到多德卡尼斯群岛最喜欢的是拍照,故选D项。
22.细节理解题。根据“Louangphabang, Laos”部分的“But the Southeast Asian nation hopes the Chinese-constructed bullet train will boost domestic travel Its 260-mile route within Laos starts at the border town of Boten, crosses more than 70 tunnels and 160 bridges, runs through Louangphabang, and ends in the capital,Vientiane.( 但这个东南亚国家希望中国建造的子弹头列车能促进国内旅行。其在老挝境内的260英里路线始于边境城镇磨丁,穿过70多条隧道和160多座桥梁,穿过琅勃拉邦,终点为首都万象。)”可知,琅勃拉邦省最适合乘坐火车旅行的人,故选C项。
23.细节理解题。根据“Tuli Block”部分的“A National Geographic explorer, Mookod, is establishing an education program in 10 remote villages, which shows the village teachers how to weave the environment and local culture into their lessons.( 国家地理探险家穆科德正在10个偏远村庄建立一个教育项目,向乡村教师展示如何将环境和当地文化融入他们的课程中)”以及“Choquequirao”部分的“Choquequirao is one of the most remote Inca sites in the Peruvian Andes.(乔奎拉奥是秘鲁安第斯山脉中最偏远的印加遗址之一)”可知,Tuli Block 和Choquequirao两个地区的共同之处是能给游客提供乡村旅行的体验,故选C项。
B
Reading a dog’s body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, weighs in on how to explain dog’ behaviour.
If your dog licks its mouth...
They’re stressed. Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. One found that it was a dog response to seeing an angry human face on a computer screen, the other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat. If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels.
If there are fireworks and your dog is shaking…
The noises are frightening. This is a common reaction, but a surprising number of people don’t realize that shaking and trembling are signs of fear. Whereas only a quarter of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises, half report these behavioral signs, according to research published in Applied Animal Behaviour Science. If you think your pup would be comforted, pet them and remain nearby.
If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down…
They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed signs range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. If your dog gets bored at appointments, many vets now use food to make the experience more fun.
If your dog leans into you during a petting session…
They like it! If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then judge their reaction. This is called an approval test. If they choose to wander off, the session is over. Other signs of discomfort include sniffing the floor, looking away and panting(喘息). However, if they lean on you or paw at you to get more permission, continue!
24.According to Zazie’s view, we can understand a dog’s feeling by ______.
A.its pose B.its eye contact
C.its communication D.its behavioral signs
25.What behaviour does your dog have when it feels pressure
A.It leans on you. B.It licks its mouth.
C.It is shaking. D.Its tail is down.
26.What can we learn from the text
A.When dogs pant, they like you very much.
B.Half of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises.
C.When dogs lean on you or paw at you, they try to get more approval.
D.Hiding or trying to leave the exam room means that dogs feel excited.
【答案】24.D 25.B 26.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍狗的不同肢体语言所代表的含义。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段“Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, weighs in on how to explain dog’ behaviour. If your dog licks its mouth...They’re stressed.(Zazie Todd是一名驯狗师,也是“伴侣动物心理学”博客的创始人,她对如何解释狗的行为发表了看法。如果你的狗舔它的嘴……它们会很紧张。)”可知,根据Zazie的观点,我们可以通过狗的行为特征来了解狗的感受。故选D。
25.细节理解题。根据If your dog licks its mouth...中的“One found that it was a dog response to seeing an angry human face on a computer screen, the other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat. If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels. (一项研究发现,这是狗在电脑屏幕上看到愤怒的人脸时的反应,另一项研究发现,狗在面对轻微威胁时,会舔自己的嘴,还会看向别处。如果你发现了这个迹象,试着减少你的狗的压力水平。)”可知,当你的狗感到压力时会舔它的嘴。故选B。
26.细节理解题。根据If your dog leans into you during a petting session…中的“However, if they lean on you or paw at you to get more permission, continue! (然而,如果他们靠在你身上或用爪子抓你来获得更多的许可,继续!)”可知,当狗靠在你身上或用爪子抓你时,它们试图得到更多的认可。故选C。
C
Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala (大脑杏仁核) involved in stress processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, hinting at the potential benefits of nature. “But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,” says Sonja Sudimac.
To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature elicits beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.
“The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress,” explains Simone Kühn, head of the group.
The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk. This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health. Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain.
In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their babies.
27.What does the hen-and-egg problem mean by Sonja Sudimac
A.Living in rural areas actually affects brain activity.
B.People in cities tend to have a higher risk of mental problems.
C.It’s unnecessary to work out the complex issue of stress and health.
D.It’s hard to clarify the impact of living environment on mental health.
28.How did researchers collect evidence for the study
A.By quoting authoritative experts.
B.By interviewing healthy volunteers.
C.By researching on a previous theory.
D.By comparing volunteers’ amygdala activities.
29.What contribution did Simone Kühn and his team mainly make
A.Confirming the assumption of nature’s benefits to brain health.
B.Supporting a commonly held view of urban exposure.
C.Revealing the link between age and mental health.
D.Identifying the causes of mental health problems.
30.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A.Benefits of a regular walk in nature.
B.The focus of the follow-up research.
C.An appeal for living in urban regions.
D.Nature’s positive effects on women and children.
【答案】27.D 28.D 29.A 30.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自然对人大脑产生的影响。
27.细节理解题。根据第一段的“But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions(但是到目前为止,母鸡和蛋的问题还没有得到解决,也就是说,到底是大自然对大脑产生了影响,还是特定的个体选择生活在农村还是城市地区)”可知,Sonja Sudimac的“母鸡和鸡蛋的问题”意味着生活环境对精神健康的影响很难说清楚。故选D。
28.推理判断题。根据第二段的“To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin.(为了获得因果证据,该小组的研究人员对63名健康志愿者在格鲁内瓦尔德森林或柏林交通繁忙的购物街散步一小时前后的大脑活动进行了检查)”可知,研究人员通过比较志愿者的杏仁核活动来为这项研究收集证据。故选D。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段的“The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link.(研究结果支持了之前假设的自然和大脑健康之间的正相关关系,但这是首次证明因果关系的研究)”可知,Simone Kühn和他的团队的主要贡献是证实了自然对大脑健康有益的假设。故选A。
30.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their babies.(为了调查自然对不同人群和年龄组的有益影响,研究人员目前正在进行一项研究,研究在自然环境和城市环境中散步一小时对母亲和婴儿的压力有何影响)”可知,最后一段主要讲的是后续研究的重点。故选B。
第二节(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。
There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes(人群的蜂拥), the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there’s little you can do to survive a stampede. ____31____ But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:
The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. ____32____ It’s a piece of common sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.
If there’s a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct (本能) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. ____33____ If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.
As you move forward with the crowd, it’s best to move in a diagonal (对角线的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it’s less likely that you’ll end up stuck at a choke-point, like a doorway.
____34____ Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck; behind a car or even a lamp post.
In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can’t breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room—literally. ____35____
A.Another potential way is to shelter yourself.
B.But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns.
C.In this case, you don’t necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.
D.Namely, he advises people to take note of where the nearest exits are.
E.It’s a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.
F.Other events, such as a Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.
G.Indeed, it’s a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.
【答案】31.G 32.D 33.B 34.A 35.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了防止拥挤踩踏的一些方法。
31.根据空前一句“This may leave some people thinking there’s little you can do to survive a stampede(这可能会让一些人认为你几乎无法在踩踏事件中幸存下来)”可知,设空处应承接上句说明这种局面所导致的结果,G项:Indeed, it’s a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape(的确,这种局面很骇人,形势有可能让人难以逃脱)符合语境。故选G。
32.根据空前一句“The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location(在人群中保持安全的关键是从你到达地点开始的)”可知,设空处应为最关键是留意最近的出口在哪里。D项:Namely, he advises people to take note of where the nearest exits are(也就是说,他建议人们留意最近的出口在哪里)中“he”与上一句的“Randy Atlas”相呼应。故选D。
33.根据空前一句“your instinct may be to fight back and push the opposite way(你的本能可能是反击并向相反的方向推进)”以及后句“If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down(如果你逆潮流而动,你被绊倒和撞倒的几率就会增加)”可知,你本能做出的行为可能是错的,所以B项:But that could be a big mistake,Atlas warns(Atlas警告说这样做可能是错误的)符合语境。故选B。
34.设空处为本段的主题句。根据空后“Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck; behind a car or even a lamp post(找一个坚实的结构站在后面,如柱子或墙。其他地方可以躲避;躲在汽车后面,甚至是灯柱后面)”可知,空出提出应该保护自己。A项:Another potential way is to shelter yourself(另一种可能的方法是保护自己)概括本段内容。故选A。
35.空处位于段末,应承接上文。根据空前“But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room—literally(但有一种可能的方法可以避免这种情况,那就是将手臂放在身前,几乎像拳击手一样。这可能会给你一些非常宝贵的喘息空间)”可知,空处应陈述这种行为看似简单,却非常有效。E项:It’s a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.(这是一个简单的姿势,但却出奇地有效,而且可能挽救生命)符合题意,pose呼应上文position,故选E。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在加州卡斯泰克湖举办的中国传统的龙舟比赛。
56.考查非谓语动词。句意:闪亮的白色帐篷排列在码头,为聚集在卡斯泰克湖周围来自加州各地的参加节日比赛的龙舟桨手提供了阴凉处和点心。分析句子可知,句中有谓语动词lined,故空格处应用非谓语动词,provide意为“提供”,tents和provide为逻辑上的主谓关系,故应用provide的现在分词providing,作状语。故填providing。
57.考查定语从句。句意:同上。分析句子可知,句子为非限制性定语从句,先行词为paddlers,指人,在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词who引导从句。故填who。
58.考查介词。句意:咯咯笑的孩子们欢快地沿着湖边的海滩奔跑,他们的父母在岸边的树下享受着阴凉的野餐区。分析句子可知,句中“_____ their parents enjoying the shady picnic areas”为with的复合结构,即with sb doing意为“随着某人做某事”,with复合结构在句中作状语,故空格处应用with,介词词性。故填with。
59.考查副词。句意:龙舟竞赛在中国已有数千年的历史,最初是为了纪念中国的水龙神,目的是为了求雨,避免不幸和灾难。分析句子可知,in honor of意为“为了纪念……”,应用副词修饰,在句中作状语,initial意为“最初的”,形容词词性,对应的副词为initially,意为“最初地”。故填initially。
60.考查名词。句意:同上。分析句子,设空处应该填写名词作宾语,与后文的disaster构成并列结构。fortune为名词,意为“运气,财富”,此处表示“厄运,不幸”,应用misfortune,其为不可数名词。故填misfortune。
61.考查动词。句意:在比赛中,鼓手使用一个传统的大木鼓来保持桨手的节奏,而后面的舵手则让他们保持在自己的航道上。分析句子可知,句子陈述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,use意为“使用”,drummer为可数名词单数,故应用use的三单形式uses。故填uses。
62.考查非谓语动词。句意:林说,十多年前,一位朋友让他参与了龙舟比赛。分析句子可知,句中有谓语动词got,故空格处应用非谓语动词,involve意为“参加”,him和involve为逻辑上的动宾关系,故应用involve的过去分词involved,作宾语补足语。故填involved。
63.考查代词。句意:他说:“从我们的龙舟口号‘一船一拍’中,我们可以学到一些特别的东西。”分析句子,设空处应该使用代词作表语。根据句意,此处表示“一些特别的事”用something special。故填something。
64.考查名词。句意:桨手来自各行各业,这种与人的亲密关系在其他任何地方都看不到。分析句子可知,介词of后应用名词,在句中作主语,close意为“亲密的”,形容词词性,对应的名词为closeness,意为“亲密”,为不可数名词。故填closeness。
65.考查冠词。句意:我们希望有一天它会成为一项奥林匹克运动。分析句子可知,句中泛指一项奥林匹克运动,空格处应用不定冠词,Olympic音标的第一个音素为元音音素,故应用不定冠词an。故填an。

67.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。
April Fools’ Day
Nat woke early and jumped out of bed. Today was the best day of the year for him. Nat loved to play tricks, and today was April Fools’ Day.
Some of Nat’s tricks were big hits. Last year, he short-sheeted his sister’s bed. She couldn’t understand what was going on and started to think that her legs must have grown much longer during the day. When she realized what had happened, she laughed her head off.
Some of Nat’s tricks were not so successful. Mom didn’t think finding a furry toy mouse in the fridge was humorous at all. After she calmed down a bit, she said, “That’s it! There’s a ban on Nat tricks for two weeks.”
Nat was also the class clown. He was always making jokes in class. He liked it when he made the other kids laugh. Since it was April Fools’ Day, he felt like he had to come up with something really good to provide his classmates with some really good entertainment.
For that, Nat thought long and hard before he came up with his brilliant idea. He bought two toy frogs which were made out of green plastic and looked very realistic. Nat knew just the trick he would play on his classmates.
Nat arrived at school early. To succeed in his plan, he needed to get into the classroom before anyone else. Nat’s class had a rainforest terrarium (饲养皿). It had plants, insects, and three frogs in it. Nat’s idea was to pretend that the frogs had escaped. He knew that Ms. Lopez, his teacher, wasn’t afraid of frogs but several of his classmates, including himself, were.
Nat slipped into the classroom. Good! There was nobody here. He put one of the toy frogs on the floor, near the terrarium and the other on his friend Stacey’s desk. Nat knew that Stacey really didn’t not like frogs. Also, she played a great trick on him last April Fools’ Day. To make his trick more convincing, Nat pushed the lid of the terrarium open. Then he rushed off to morning gathering.
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。
When the students got back to class, no one noticed the toy frogs at first.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Nat realized that he had opened the lid of the terrarium.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】one possible version
When the students got back to class, no one noticed the frogs at first. Then Stacey, who finally noticed the frog, screamed and pointed at her desk. The whole class exploded. A couple of other kids leapt out of their seats and shrieked while the rest were laughing and banging their desks. Nat was feeling very pleased with himself. His trick was definitely a success. But he knew he had to hide his glee. He pretended that he was working and reached out for a piece of paper. It was then that something cold and wet slithered past his fingers. It was a frog-a real one!
Nat realized that he had opened the terrarium. Suddenly, there came a loud croak from under his chair. Nat almost jumped out of his skin with fright. Now he became the laughingstock of the class. What scared him even more was the only person who remained serious-Ms. Lopez. She calmly walked down the aisle, scooped up the frog and put it back into the terrarium. Then she came to Nat’s side, seemingly waiting for his confession. Nat felt his face burning and apologized to Ms Lopez. He also promised to be considerate from then on.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
BEST OF THE WORLD
Our annual list highlights travel destinations that inspire connections and wonder. Here are four starting points to launch your own travel plan.
Dodecanese Islands, Greece
Waves of conquerors-Romans, Ottomans, Italians-left their fingerprints on everything from the architecture to the food on these Greek islands. Today’s invaders come not for fortune but for selfies(自拍).Now less visited parts of the isles,like Karpathos,hope to balance the economic need for tourism with the environmental stresses caused by it.
Tuli Block, Botswana
Travelers to Botswana have become more interested in seeing more craft-based tours and village homestays since COVID.A National Geographic explorer, Mookod, is establishing an education program in 10 remote villages, which shows the village teachers how to weave the environment and local culture into their lessons.
Louangphabang, Laos
The pandemic closed the borders of many tourism-dependent countries like Laos. But the Southeast Asian nation hopes the Chinese-constructed bullet train will boost domestic travel. Its 260-mile route within Laos starts at the border town of Boten, crosses more than 70 tunnels and 160 bridges, runs through Louangphabang, and ends in the capital, Vientiane.
Choquequirao, Peru
Choquequirao is one of the most remote Inca sites in the Peruvian Andes. Numerous temples, terraces(梯田),and squares are yet to be fully unearthed. But new infrastructure plans are expected to boost visits to Machu Picchu’s sister city.
21.What would travelers like to do most on Dodecanese Islands
A.Admire ancient buildings. B.Enjoy tasty food.
C.Make a fortune. D.Take beautiful photos.
22.Which travel destination best suits people who prefer railway journeys

C.Louangphabang. D.Choquequirao.
23.What do Tuli Block and Choquequirao have in common

Reading a dog’s body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, weighs in on how to explain dog’ behaviour.
If your dog licks its mouth...
They’re stressed. Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. One found that it was a dog response to seeing an angry human face on a computer screen, the other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat. If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels.
If there are fireworks and your dog is shaking…
The noises are frightening. This is a common reaction, but a surprising number of people don’t realize that shaking and trembling are signs of fear. Whereas only a quarter of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises, half report these behavioral signs, according to research published in Applied Animal Behaviour Science. If you think your pup would be comforted, pet them and remain nearby.
If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down…
They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed signs range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. If your dog gets bored at appointments, many vets now use food to make the experience more fun.
If your dog leans into you during a petting session…
They like it! If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then judge their reaction. This is called an approval test. If they choose to wander off, the session is over. Other signs of discomfort include sniffing the floor, looking away and panting(喘息). However, if they lean on you or paw at you to get more permission, continue!
24.According to Zazie’s view, we can understand a dog’s feeling by ______.
A.its pose B.its eye contact
C.its communication D.its behavioral signs
25.What behaviour does your dog have when it feels pressure
A.It leans on you. B.It licks its mouth.
C.It is shaking. D.Its tail is down.
26.What can we learn from the text
A.When dogs pant, they like you very much.
B.Half of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises.
C.When dogs lean on you or paw at you, they try to get more approval.
D.Hiding or trying to leave the exam room means that dogs feel excited.
C
Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala (大脑杏仁核) involved in stress processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, hinting at the potential benefits of nature. “But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,” says Sonja Sudimac.
To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature elicits beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.
“The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress,” explains Simone Kühn, head of the group.
The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk. This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health. Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain.
In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their babies.

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。
There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes(人群的蜂拥), the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there’s little you can do to survive a stampede. ____31____ But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:
The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. ____32____ It’s a piece of common sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.
If there’s a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct (本能) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. ____33____ If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.
As you move forward with the crowd, it’s best to move in a diagonal (对角线的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it’s less likely that you’ll end up stuck at a choke-point, like a doorway.
____34____ Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck; behind a car or even a lamp post.
In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can’t breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room—literally. ____35____
A.Another potential way is to shelter yourself.
B.But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns.
C.In this case, you don’t necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.
D.Namely, he advises people to take note of where the nearest exits are.
E.It’s a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.
F.Other events, such as a Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.
G.Indeed, it’s a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.

April Fools’ Day
Nat woke early and jumped out of bed. Today was the best day of the year for him. Nat loved to play tricks, and today was April Fools’ Day.
Some of Nat’s tricks were big hits. Last year, he short-sheeted his sister’s bed. She couldn’t understand what was going on and started to think that her legs must have grown much longer during the day. When she realized what had happened, she laughed her head off.
Some of Nat’s tricks were not so successful. Mom didn’t think finding a furry toy mouse in the fridge was humorous at all. After she calmed down a bit, she said, “That’s it! There’s a ban on Nat tricks for two weeks.”
Nat was also the class clown. He was always making jokes in class. He liked it when he made the other kids laugh. Since it was April Fools’ Day, he felt like he had to come up with something really good to provide his classmates with some really good entertainment.
For that, Nat thought long and hard before he came up with his brilliant idea. He bought two toy frogs which were made out of green plastic and looked very realistic. Nat knew just the trick he would play on his classmates.
Nat arrived at school early. To succeed in his plan, he needed to get into the classroom before anyone else. Nat’s class had a rainforest terrarium (饲养皿). It had plants, insects, and three frogs in it. Nat’s idea was to pretend that the frogs had escaped. He knew that Ms. Lopez, his teacher, wasn’t afraid of frogs but several of his classmates, including himself, were.
Nat slipped into the classroom. Good! There was nobody here. He put one of the toy frogs on the floor, near the terrarium and the other on his friend Stacey’s desk. Nat knew that Stacey really didn’t not like frogs. Also, she played a great trick on him last April Fools’ Day. To make his trick more convincing, Nat pushed the lid of the terrarium open. Then he rushed off to morning gathering.
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。
When the students got back to class, no one noticed the toy frogs at first.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Nat realized that he had opened the lid of the terrarium.
