My memories of my father are divided into parts and shares.Alive,and then dead.Healthy,and then helpless.And further back in time,the first and most division:Present and then absent;loving,and then indifferent(漠不关心的).
He used to be a good writer and loving father.When I was a 16-year-old girl,he was fired from his company,a public,gossip-based dismissal that he would spend decades refusing responsibility for.This was the first crack that divided my relationship with him into poles of before and after.To escape his shame,he pushed away those who reminded him of it,first divorcing my mother,then alienating(疏远)my sister and I.
As an adult,my relationship with my father was one of low expectations and high boundaries.He spent most of his time travelling.But when he died of heart failure in August,I was knocked off balance by the weight of the blow.I thought,after years of setting up delicate fences around our relationship,that I had already begun letting go.His death delivered a realization:despite
years of analyzing his complicated love for me,there were pieces of my father I never understood—until I found my father's notebooks in his cupboard.
In the notebooks,he often collected documentation:train tickets from Rome or a photograph of San Francisco’s Prescott Hotel.But what he was also doing was offering fatherly guidance,the kind I could only receive after he died.His life,in which what he had was never quite enough,was eventually exposed.In his final decade,he realized he had built a castle for himself upon sand and regret.Now in his entries,I hear his voice.“Debaleh,”I hear him say,using his pet name for me,“learn from my mistakes.”
I read these pages among my dad’s clothes,and wept.I hadn’t known that my father,too,lived with that familiar ache for new horizons in his heart,the one that can only be comforted by traveling.
24.Why did the author's father keep away from his family? A.They weren’t responsible members. B.He didn’t get on well with his wife. C.Their presence recalled his sad experience. D.They talked behind others’backs everywhere.
25.How did the author feel when hearing of her father’s death? A.She was in tears. C.She got lost in thought.
B.She was in a panic. D.She lost her inner peace.
26.What advice did the author's father give her? A.Write a journal carefully. B.Travet more for relaxation. C.Avoid following in his footsteps. D.Obey father’s guidance thoroughly. 27.What made the author end up crying? A.Finding her father’s clothes. B.Getting to know her late father. C.Failing to look for new horizons. D.Knowing her father's heart disease.

The creativity TikTok stimulates allows for a broad range of content that encourages users to participate in trends that integrate their passions and hobbies.Specifically,content related to literature on TikTok has generated its own domain.Commonly referred to as“BookTok,”this side of the platform focuses on all things about books:book recommendations,tips for pleasing bookshelves and edits related to literature-based fandoms(粉丝圈).
With heightened demand for new media to comfort themselves during the pandemic period of severe challenges,many young adults have regarded literature as a form of escape.Restarting former literary passions,BookTok users have turned their attention to the app to praise the novels that have helped serve as a brief getaway to worlds within bound pages.
Through a revival of novels that shaped the childhoods of many who are now young adults,even younger generations on the app have been exposed to foundational novels in young adult literature.Along with this emphasis on nostalgic(怀旧的)fandoms,BookTok takes advantage
of TikTok trends in order to attract those who may not be familiar with literature to read.The popularity of BookTok and the novels that are recommended to young adults on the app have had a direct effect on bookstores and book sales,with both independent bookstores and chains such as Barnes&Noble taking notice of the broader range of readers that are influenced by TikTok and updating their stock to appeal to users.
As of March 2021.BookTok has over 6 billion views and will only continue to grow larger.Though the popularity of BookTok brought many significant questions regarding the future of the book industry and the books that receive mass attention on social media,the importance of the BookTok phenomenon perhaps lies mainly with the readers who claim their love for books and the creative channels through which they express this admiration.TikTok has demonstrated,at least through BookTok,that brilliant literature is written for a broad audience—the perfect book for you is waiting somewhere on a shelf and,through BookTok,you will surely discover it. 28.What can users do on BookTok? A.Share favorable books. B.Buy pretty bookshelives. C.Make profits from editing. D.Create their own platforms. 29.What influence does BookTok have A.TikTok has lost quantities of users. B.The elderly take up children’s books. C.The bookstores change their books accordingly. D.Youths start treasuring their memories of childhood. 30.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about BookTok? A.Its bright future. C.Its amazing function.
B.Its big challenges. D.Its minor disadvantages.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.Why BookTok had an effect on bookstores B.How BookTok expanded its range of audience C.Why BookTok gained popularity among elderly D.How BookTok repopularized young adult fiction
D
People with fewer friends are more likely to attract new friends than people who already have a wide social circle—but they think the opposite is true,a January study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found.
The study demonstrated what the authors call“the friend number paradox(悖论),”or the concept that we think we’11 magnetize more friends if we’re more popular,but at the same time are more interested in befriending others if we know their circle is small.
The study author Xianchi Dai and colleagues conducted three studies that presented participants with scenes to assess the difference between what they predicted others would want in somebody as a friend,and what they wanted in a friend.The researchers found people want high-quality relationships-harder to get from someone with lots of friends—but forget that when
guessing what others want in them.They also found they could help correct this difference by reminding participants that,in fact,social butterflies may have less to give.
The researchers say people’s natural self-centered viewpoint contributes to the“friend number paradox.”That is,we’re more likely to put our(in this case,false)predictions about ourselves onto others than to put ourselves in other people’s shoes and apply those insights to us.We also tend to see the positive aspects of having more friends,like signaling a good personality or possessing“precious resources that others seek,”in ourselves.We see the negatives,like not having enough time or energy to sustain a friendship,in others,Dai said.It’s possible that other factors explain this difference,the researchers say.Maybe we prefer less popular people because we’re worried about rejection from queen bees.We might also think choosing someone whose circle is smaller than ours boosts our social influence.
No matter the potential causes.Dai said the findings suggest people shouldn’t“show off”a large friend number when seeking new connections.
32.What does the underlined word“magnetize”mean in paragraph 2? A.Ignore.
B.Attract.
C.Lose.
D.Expect.
33.What’s the finding of the three studies? A.High-quality friendships are hard to get. B.Social butterflies appeal to more friends. C.Most people care about the needs of others. D.People can’t give what they expect from others.
34.What leads to the phenomenon of“the friend number paradox”among people? A.Selfish personality.
B.Concern about being rejected. C.Ambition for social influence. D.Preference for larger friend circles.
35.What is a common misunderstanding of making new friends? A.A wider social circle helps. B.A smaller social circle helps.
C.The more friends you have,the better. D.The fewer friends you have,the better. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

For years,research has linked Skipping breakfast with increased BMI(body mass index), but few studies have been carried out into the effect of the other meals of the day.
However,a study conducted at Osaka University concluded that not eating dinner is a significant predictor of weight gain and obesity.36 As part of their annual check-ups,the students were asked how often they ate breakfast,lunch,and dinner.Rese,archers also took into consideration the time of eating,whether participants’meal habits changed over the course of the study,and lifestyle factors.
37 But the researchers found that those who did so all the time were more likely
to be older,more overweight,a smoker or drinker,to sleep for a shorter period of time,and skip other meals more frequently.
These results suggest that skipping dinner,which was much less popular than skipping breakfast,could result in weight gain and a higher likelihood of being overweight than skipping breakfast.It was significantly associated with weight gain of 10%or more,and having a BMI over 25,which is classed as overweight or obese. 38 The researchers suggested that the reason why skipping dinner could lead to weight gain is that it makes people hungrier so they end up eating more over the course of the day. 39 That’s because dinner is typically a meal that lends itself to nutritious foods like lean(少脂的) proteins and vegetables.
The researchers note that their study had drawbacks: 40 Additionally,they didn’t take into account factors like exercise or depression.
A.BMI has its limitations after a11.
B.Besides,skipping dinner may mean a lower quality diet. C.It should be repeated to assess a wider group of people.
D.Skipping lunch was more likely to bring about the same outcomes.
E.It followed 20,000 subjects overall above 18 over an average of three years. F.The number of students who said they sometimes skipped dinner was small. G.Students skipping dinner has a stronger association with weight gain and obesity. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15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。 There was an elderly lady standing in the bone-chilling cold outside the back of the supermarket.She was holding a basket with bunches of flowers.
“Would you like the flowers.they are $3 ?”she asked me as I was walking past.I politely responded“No,thank you”,as I walked away and went inside the supermarket.
I was walking around the supermarket searching for the thing that I was needing to buy and thinking of that lady,standing in the cold holding her basket of flowers.Visualizing the beautiful flowers I had admired,her polite quiet voice and lonely figure,I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket.Maybe her family was in urgent need of money;maybe she was a lone soul to earn a living with her own hands....
I had my own personal struggles,I had to budget for everything and I appreciated that $3 was a lot for me,like many of us all and probably for her too.But it wasn’t my first thought when she had asked me about buying her flowers.My first thought was I didn’t have the cash but this couldn’t be used as an excuse for not buying those flowers.I had not carried cash with me for a few years and I thought many of us did the same.
When I went to the register to pay with my card I asked for $3 cash out.The staff member questioned me about the $3.I felt anxious about it quickly and tried to remember the money I had in my account.And at the same time she pressed the button to process it.I had mentioned that I wanted to buy flowers from the lady who was selling them outside.Sigh of relief.I was glad to see it all had been accepted by the machine and the staff member handed me the $3. 注意:
