The text from my son said it all: “Dad, there’s an article you were born to write that the world is finally ready
for: Bring Back the Handkerchief!” As my son knows, there’s no “bring back” for me. For me, the handkerchief
never left.
My mother raised me with several fixed rules. One was that a gentleman always has a clean handkerchief in
his right rear pocket, a piece of simple cotton, roughly 15 inches square and less than four inches when folded. I
was a dutiful son, but as a child, I had been wondering what it was there for. After 60 years, my body weight now
3
{#{QQABAYaAgggIAJJAAAhCEQHQCgEQkBACAAoOhAAAIAAAyRNABAA=}#}
feels wrong if I’m heading out of the house with an empty back pocket.
I am sure this habit has sometimes struck friends but in polite company nobody comments on somebody
else’s business. Children like my kids think of my hankie ridiculously old-fashioned and they have their
arguments. If you have to be prepared every day for allergies or a cold, why not choose a little packet of tissues,
which saves you from that disgusting business of blowing your nose in the thing and then stuffing it back in your
pants?
Point taken. But a handkerchief is more durable and has a far wider variety of uses. Can you grab the handle
of a pot that’s boiling over with a Kleenex? Or do you recall the cases of skinned knees and drippy noses that
hankie wiped? In fact, my wife gave me several new handkerchiefs as gifts. Neither of us can count the number of
times her eyes have welled up at a movie, or, as happens, she’s needed to blow her nose.
Yet not even my mother could have anticipated the hankie’s new role as an Essential Public Health Appliance.
All of us have learnt how hard it is to follow advice from medical experts about not touching your face. Here is an
answer. Use your hankie. In case of emergency, your handkerchief can become a makeshift DIY mask that can be
pulled over your lower face like a robber entering a bank.
And it will certainly give me the chance to lift my chin and look at my adult children through one eye, asking
in her good-hearted way, “What do you have to say now, smarty-pants?”
24. What kind of person is the author in the eye of his son?
A. His father is a born writer.
B. His father lost his handkerchief long ago.
C. His father will bring back the handkerchief.
D. His father has a habit of using handkerchief.
25. How do the younger generation like the handkerchief?
A. They adore it very much.
B. They regard it as fashionable.
C. They consider it inconvenient.
D. They desire to have their own someday.
26. What can be learned from the passage?
A. The function of handkerchiefs has been updated.
B. Handkerchiefs will be taken over by tissues sooner or later.
C. The author’s wife feels embarrassed to give him a handkerchief.
D. The author was ridiculed by his friends for his use of handkerchiefs.
27. What’s the tone of the author in the passage?
A. Bossy B. Humorous C. Pessimistic D. Critical
C
“THE ANT AND THE ZEBRA” sounds like the title of a Aesop’s fable. Like all good fables, this one has a
moral, which is that tinkering with nature has unpredictable consequences. Unlike the Greek originals, though,
this fable is real.
The story plays out in Laikipia county, Kenya. The characters include big-headed ants, an invasive (入侵)
species, the native acacia ants these invasive ants have gradually been replacing, the whistling-thorn trees where
both sorts of ants live, a cast of elephants, lions, zebras and buffalo, and Douglas Kamaru, a Kenyan biologist in
4
{#{QQABAYaAgggIAJJAAAhCEQHQCgEQkBACAAoOhAAAIAAAyRNABAA=}#}
the University of Wyoming. As Mr Kamaru reports this week in Science, the ant invasion has set off a complicated
chain of consequences which has helped zebras at the expense of buffalo—thus illustrating a phenomenon called
“trophic cascade”.
It works like this. Whistling-thorns have co-evolved with the local ants. The trees provide the ants with
shelter and food, in the form of large, hollow (空心的) thorns into which they produce nutritious nectar (蜜汁) .
The ants, meanwhile, protect the trees by seeing off the chief threat to them, the local elephants, which are not
keen to feed on trees crawling with biting insects.
Acacia ants’ habitat are thickly carpeted with whistling-thorns. Big-headed ants, however, are not good at
keeping the elephants at bay. The elephants move in and bite the trees, removing much of the area’s cover. That
upsets the local lions, which often use this cover to hide when hunting zebra. To compensate, the lions switch to
hunting buffalo, which are more dangerous, but less fleet of foot.
Mr Kamaru has put numbers to the process, too. In invaded areas, elephants break trees five to seven times as
often as in uninvaded ones. And in those uninvaded places, zebra kills are almost three times as frequent as in the
invaded ones. Indeed, between 2003 and 2020, as the big-headed ants have spread, the percentage of local lion
kills where the victims was a zebra fell from 67% to 42%. Over the same period, the percentage of kills that were
buffalo rose from zero to 42%. Whether the buffalo blame the ants for their misfortune, no one knows.
28. What does the underlined phrase “tinkering with” probably mean in the 1st paragraph?
A. making changes to B. paying attention to
C. finding fault with D. showing respect for
29. The “trophic cascade” in the passage happened when _________.
A. animal habitat in a specific area was preserved
B. an invasive species suffered a lack of food supply
C. certain plants were affected by human activities
D. a particular species in the food chain was replaced
30. Why did the lions change their targets of attack when hunting?
A. Because it becomes less risky to hunt the buffalo.
B. Because greater visibility makes it hard to hunt zebra.
C. Because they are not good at keeping the elephants away.
D. Because they are upset by the presence of big-headed ants.
31. Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?
A. How ants and buffalo defeated lions. B. How elephants landed zebra in trouble.
C. How trees changed lions’ dinner menu. D. How ants persuaded lions to eat buffalo.
D
With the fast development of astronomy, astronomers are eager to find a hint of the familiar: planets that
resemble Earth. By pushing technology to the limits, astronomers are rapidly approaching the day when they can
find another Earth.
The most direct approach is to take a picture of it with a telescope. However, a more effective way is to use
“the Doppler technique”. This involves analyzing starlight for evidence that the star’s movement is affected by the
5
{#{QQABAYaAgggIAJJAAAhCEQHQCgEQkBACAAoOhAAAIAAAyRNABAA=}#}
gravitational pull of a planet. Nowadays, astronomers can tell when a planet is pulling its star by only one meter a
second—about human walking speed. That’s enough to detect a giant planet in a big orbit, or a small planet if it’s
close to its star.
Another approach is to watch a star for a slight dip in its brightness. This occurs when an orbiting planet
passes in front of the star and blocks part of its light. At most, a tenth of all planetary systems are oriented so that
these mini-eclipses (日食，月食)—called transits (凌日)—are visible from Earth. So, astronomers have to monitor
a lot of stars to capture just a few transits.
The dream of astronomers is to discover a rocky planet roughly the size of Earth orbiting in a habitable zone,
one that is neither too hot nor too cold to support life. If they succeed, they will have found what biologists
believe could be a promising residence for life.
The best places to look may be dwarf stars. Smaller than the sun, dwarf stars are plentiful; seven of the ten
stars nearest to Earth are dwarf stars. They also provide a steady supply of sunlight to any life-bearing planets
within their habitable zone. Additionally, dwarf stars are dim, so the habitable zone lies closer in. If the planet is
closer to the star, it’s easier for astronomers to detect a transit observation. A close-in planet also has a stronger
pull on its star. That makes it easier to detect with the Doppler method.
32. According to paragraph two, astronomers analyze starlight with the aim of finding ________.
A. where we can detect a giant orbit
B. why a small planet is close to its stars
C. whether the motion of the stars is changed
D. how strong the power of the gravitational pull is
33. Why do astronomers have to monitor a lot of stars to capture transits?
A. Transits last a very short period of time.
B. Most planetary systems don’t have transits.
C. Transits only occur for a small number of stars.
D. No more than 10% planetary systems have visible transits from Earth.
34. Dwarf stars may be good places to spot Earth-like planets because _______.
A. dwarf stars are limited in number
B. their planets are close to the Earth
C. the closeness of the habitable zone to dwarf stars aids detection
D. the brightness of dwarf stars to Earth improves their visibility
35. What is the author’s attitude to the discovery of Earth-like planets?
6
{#{QQABAYaAgggIAJJAAAhCEQHQCgEQkBACAAoOhAAAIAAAyRNABAA=}#}
A. Confident. B. Suspicious. C. Ambiguous. D. Unconcerned.

If you want to make a good first impression in that important business meeting, it is no longer about wearing
the sharpest suit or the firmest handshake but about making sure that the little Zoom window with your face in it
projects professionalism. But this isn’t always easy. 36 Here are some tips.
Don’t hold your phone.
If you absolutely must join the meeting on your phone, then don’t hold it in your hand. 37 Your
colleagues won’t see your picture swinging about wildly. And the camera won’t suddenly look up your nose when
you naturally pull your phone closer to your face.
38
How the light falls on our faces counts. So make sure that you don’t have a big, direct source of light behind
you, because all it will do is make your face dark and hard to see—and that’s the most important part!
A professional microphone makes up for bad video.
The built-in microphones inside our computers can be pretty good, but they’re never truly great. 39
What matters is that people should be able to hear what you’re saying.
Don’t rely on the default (默认) camera.
40 This could help create the illusion of eye contact. However, this isn’t always easy, especially if you’re
using a laptop and are sitting at a desk, towering above it. It might be worth getting an external camera you can
put on top of a monitor.
A. Lighting makes the difference.
B. Do put on make-up on your face.
C. Instead, obtain a phone stand to hold it.
D. The ideal position for your camera is at your eye-level.
E. What can you do to ensure a successful business meeting?
F. So it’s worth spending the money on a dedicated external microphone.
G. So what can you do to make sure your video calls project the right image?

Self-Portrait
Alia was disappointed to find herself in the drawing studio. She had been sick with the flu during the week
when everyone else got to pick their classes. She had hoped for Astronomy or Marine Biology, but they were full
by the time she got to choose. She loved everything about science, from the way it used facts and formulas to how
it revealed the basic nature of things. But art was so … un-scientific.
The first class project was self-portraits. Some students were drawing self-portraits using mirrors. Others
were working from photographs. Alia glanced at the incomplete sketches, feeling like a cat in a dog show. But she
had no choice. Hesitantly, she lifted a pencil, only to pause before the canvas. Confusion and reluctance were
9
{#{QQABAYaAgggIAJJAAAhCEQHQCgEQkBACAAoOhAAAIAAAyRNABAA=}#}
evidently written on her face; she had no idea how to proceed with her strokes.
The teacher came up to Alia’s easel（画架）. Seemingly having noticed her trouble, he sat next to her.
“Every portrait begins with a circle,” he said. “Then you create a series of lines.”
To demonstrate, he drew a group of small, quick portraits. He began each one with a circle, some straight
lines, and a triangle to determine where the eyes, nose, and chin should go. To Alia’s amazement, each portrait on
the paper took form. Alia had never thought about it, but the features of everyone’s face were in the same spots.
“Go ahead and give it a try.” The teacher handed the pencil back to her.
Taking a deep breath, Alia began her own self-portrait. She drew the basic form of a head, the way she had
been shown. From there, she used lines to plot the features of her face. She had to take note of each detail, with
each stroke, line and curve demanding her close attention. One wrong measurement could throw off the whole
portrait.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The process took patience and precision.
Admiring her work, Alia suddenly realized drawing was just what she had hoped for.
