In my whole life I was frightened by doctors. So when I recently launched a series of writing and publishing
courses, I was shocked to find among my students several physicians, the same profession as my father. And they all
wanted to be writers. Whenever someone mentioned their medical background, I’d think: I have to call Dad to tell
him, but I couldn’t.
Raised up in a big Michigan family with three brilliant loud science brain brothers, I’d always felt left out by
their Disease Game at dinner, where Dad threw out cases for them to diagnose. Our house was their laboratory. I was
frequently scared by bees in jars in the refrigerator and pet rats.
Getting to study medicine was always Dad’s dream, so he encouraged the boys to follow in his footsteps. But I
never truly settled down, chasing my dream for literary here and there. My father opposed my liberalism. I was
overjoyed when Random House published my humorous memoirs (回忆录) about my past addictions. My father
wasn’t so joyful. “You’re bringing disgrace on our family,” he snapped.
At 87, when my father was admitted to hospital with heart and kidney failure, we had a rare afternoon alone.
Sitting by his bed, I apologized for taking so long to figure out my life.
“I have a lot of regrets,” he said, “It took me too long to make a decent living, screwing up jobs because of my
bullheadedness and big mouth.”
I was nervous when his physician Olaf emailed me, but it wasn’t bad news. “Your dad says you’re a professor
who helps people publish. Could you help me?” he asked.
“What did you tell Olaf about me?” I questioned Dad that night, still surprised.
“That you stuck to your guns and became a success,” he said.
“Why didn’t you ever tell me that?”
“I’m telling you now,” he said. He was pleased when I helped Olaf publish his first magazine piece.
I wish Dad were here so I could share the latest stories by my physician students. But I lost him four years ago.
In a way, he still is, as I channel everything he taught me about hard work, and never giving up doing what you love.
24. What do we know about the author’s brothers?
A. They used to make loud noise. B. They were addicted to playing games.
C. They were interested in medicine. D. They distanced the author on purpose.
25. What do the underlined words “screwing up” probably mean?
A. Taking over. B. Focusing on. C. Contributing to. D. Messing up.
26. Why did Dad recommend the author to Olaf?
A. To help Olaf publish articles. B. To discuss his physical condition.
C. To promote the author’s courses. D. To share the author’s memoirs.
27. Which of the following can best describe the author’s dad?
A. Enthusiastic but dishonest. B. Modest but demanding.
C. Conservative but loving. D. Helpful but selfish.
C
Parrots consistently top the charts of the world’s smartest animals. A new discovery published by the Royal
Society Open Science reveals to us what sets the intelligent individual monk parakeet (和尚鹦鹉) apart in a group.
Previously, it was thought that these birds introduced themselves to others with a sort of “catchphrase” that
distinguished their identity. However, after running the vocalizations (发声)collected in this study through a machine
learning program, a team led by Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at Aarhus University in Denmark, found that the
birds actually had “voiceprints” like humans that identify themselves in the group.
The researchers studied thousands of monk parakeet vocalizations from hundreds of birds in Barcelona across
two years and ran these recordings through the program that identifies small differences in their calls.
“The voiceprint is the underlying quality of a voice that you can recognize in humans, and this is the first time
that has been shown in another vocal learner,” Smeele said. For example, the voiceprint of your father is how you
know it’s his voice, even if he isn’t present. “This is what I think could explain how they recognize each other,
because it can be stable over very long periods of time.” he added.
“This shows that these birds also have that sort of information that they might be using in their complicated
social interactions,” said Emily Du Val, Ph. D., a behavioral ecologist at Florida State University. “Research into
animal communication has the potential to motivate the public into action to conserve animals. Recognizing who each
other is and understanding how they interact with one another are important for human life,” she said.
This model can potentially be applied to other animals with vocal recognition like bottlenose dolphins, bat s and
elephants. Future research will look into whether these voiceprints are recognized by all parakeets in the community
or only a circle of close relatives.
28. What helps the monk parakeets recognize each other?
A. The catchphrase. B. The intelligence. C. The voiceprint. D. The communication.
29. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By combining “catchphrase” with “voiceprints”.
B. By keeping track of the monk parakeets’ relatives.
C. By collecting vocalizations and identifying their differences.
D. By comparing humans’ voiceprints with monk parakeets’.
30. What will the future study focus on?
A. The information that voiceprints can express.
B. The potential influence that voiceprints can bring.
C. The animals among which voiceprints are identified.
D. The range where parakeets’ voiceprints are recognized.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Mon k Parakeets Are Great Vocal Learners
B. Mon k Parakeets Resemble Humans in Communication
C. “Voiceprints” Are Found in Animals’ Social Interactions
D. “Voiceprints” Help Monk Parakeets Identify Themselves
D
Two new community initiatives offering the opportunity to borrow everything from sewing machines to party
supplies are aiming to reduce waste and consumption.
Tools n Things Library in Leederville, Perth is a community library designed to allow community members to
get access to the things they might need around the house instead of buying them in a hardware (五金店) store.
“That’s our philosophy — don’t buy, borrow. Many people buy things just for a small task at home, and then
they won’t use them for a couple of years,” library volunteer Rex Breheny said.
The project is run by volunteers who founded it in 2019, and after an interruption in 2020 because of the
pandemic (大流行病), it has now grow n to several hundred members who can come and borrow things twice a week.
In a way it is a return to an old tradition of neighbors borrowing each other’s tools and forming connections in the
process.
Tools n Things Library is the first of its kind in Perth, and another called Share Shed has just started in
Bassendean. Its co-founder Renee McLennan said they wanted to expand beyond tools to all sorts of things that
people might use rarely, like camping equipment or entertaining needs.
“We’re doing the kind of equipment you’d use for a party. Instead of everybody buying disposable plates, and
cups and things like that, we’ve got quality glasses and cutlery (餐具), as well as decorations that people can use for
those events that they might have once a year,” she said.
The Share Shed is being considered as a way to tackle consumer culture. The world cannot continue to support
our current level of resource consumption — at present overconsumption means that each year we consume 75 per
cent more than the planet can regenerate.
“Borrowing items and shifting our thinking from an ownership to an access model helps to reduce the number of
things that are produced and limits waste. At the same time, sharing the things that we use every now and then is a
great way of connecting with people who live locally,” Bod Anderson, an officer in Perth said.
32. Why were the initiatives launched?
A. To introduce two new communities. B. To advocate consuming fewer resources.
C. To call on people to fight against pandemic. D. To encourage people to borrow daily necessities.
33. What do we know about the project of Tools n Things Library?
A. It is out of use. B. It is well received. C. It is out of fashion. D. It is often interrupted.
34. What’s an advantage of Share Shed over Tools n Things Library?
A. Wider options. B. Better quality. C. Longer duration. D. Newer equipment.
35. What’s Bob Anderson’s attitude to the initiatives?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Objective.

When it comes to studying, most of us bank on being able to focus on our subject like a shooter on his mission
target. It is when we actually sit down to study that our minds begin to slip away. This is because focus is like a
muscle. Unless you build it, you’ll be distracted by every thing! 36 .
Make a to-do list
Sometimes the simple act of writing down everything that’s on your p late makes it more manageable. You get it
out of your working memory, so it’s no longer part of the free-floating anxiety cloud around you. 37 . Once it’s
out of your head, it won’t distract you.
Meditate(冥想)
38 . Just breathe in, breathe out. Try this for five to fifteen minutes each day. As you get into this practice,
most find their minds are in fact an incredibly noisy and distracting place. Loads of ideas are always popping up. This
is normal, though. The real value is in noticing every time your mind wanders, you bring your attention back.
Listen
Focused listening is a life skill, one that can be applied in many areas. 39 . When you do this, you’ll
discover that deep listening is HARD WORK and requires brain power.
Read difficult works
Read long-form pieces of work at a slow, deliberate pace. Reading difficult material successfully requires real
concentration and determination, and your willpower will grow accordingly.
Focus is a skill you can nurture in yourself. 40 . The more you work on it, the more focused you will stay.
A. You can cross things out, one by one
B. Doing it isn’t supposed to be necessary
C. It takes effort, but the results are well worth it
D. One simple practice is to focus on your breathing
E. Let’s see what you can do to build your focus power
F. You’ll be physically strong if you can power up your focus
G. It’s important to do your listening actively and single-mindedly

While enjoying my fresh lunch in a restaurant in Amsterdam, I noticed something odd. Customers coming in for
something to eat ignored the person standing behind the counter(柜台),preferring to 41 through a smart phone.
What was the crazy thing about this? They were just several 42 apart! In fact, they were so close that the
staff member took a quick 43 at his screen to get a head start on picking the right vegetables—all without any
words 44 . Now, I get it: Modern technology allows us to be more 45 , but I might be witnessing
something deeper: we prefer not to talk to each other anymore.
Think about it for a moment. When was the last time you naturally 46 a conversation with somebody you
didn’t know? The chances are that you don’t even 47 ! Likely either you or the other person was “busy” with
other things like 48 with a smartphone. Now, with the 49 of digital technologies, one can’t help but pay
the 50 for modern efficiency: our ability to talk to strangers.
We shop, 51 a hotel, or order a taxi, all via an app. 52 with random strangers is becoming rarer and
rarer. Yet there are surprising 53 of having even a short and simple conversation with strangers. You might
learn something 54 , and beyond doubt, it has the power to enrich your understanding of others and 55 a
special bond in our modern world.
41. A. talk B. call C. order D. deliver

My Favorite Saying
第二节（满分 25分）
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。
The moment my son Joe knew I was going to have another baby, he tried his best to stay out of our lives. By the
time our daughter Molly was due to be born, I had grown accustomed to his embarrassment and animosity (敌意). I
had grown accustomed to a lot of things, not the least of which was having an unexpected child at the age of
thirty-nine. My husband, to his eternal credit, was delighted. Throughout it all, Joe rarely spoke to me, except to say,
“You don’t have to come to my school,” and — after a marathon baby naming conference—“Call her Molly, the name
of my friend’s dog.”
When Molly finally arrived, tiny, quiet and perfect, four family arms were there to draw her close. But Joe’s
remained tightly crossed over his chest, on the far side of the hospital room I signed to him to come closer but he
shook his head slightly. I could see him standing there, arms still folded, staring straight ahead.
Joe stayed away at a friend’s cottage when Molly and I came home from the hospital. He was still gone ten days
later when I took our daughter for her first check-up. He arrived home just as I was coming back, tears streaming
down my face. “The doctor thinks she might have a hearing problem,” I sobbed. “She’s too quiet she’s not responding
like she should. We have to have her tested.”
As my husband comforted me, downplaying my worry, I noticed that Joe had stopped beside the baby, sound
asleep in her car seat. He reached out to her, shifting her slightly away from a bump (隆起) in the carpet. “She’s okay,”
he said, looking down at her. “There’s nothing wrong with her. She’s just little.”
Three months later as I walked the floor at 4:00 A. M. with a crying and inconsolable (难以安抚的) (and
otherwise perfectly healthy) baby in my arms, I dragged myself into Joe’s room and woke him up “Joe, could you take
her? Just for a few minutes? I can’t settle her down, Dad’ son business, and I just really need a break.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Saying nothing, Joe took his little sister from me.
Seeing Molly sleeping peacefully in Joe’s bed, I walked out, followed by Joe.
