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
In this most unusual year, the gift of giving will feel especially good. These tips can help make the season merry
and bright for everyone.
What’s Different This Year
Hot Ticket Items May Be Extra Hot: Some companies have scaled back their holiday ordering this year to trim
inventory, so popular products might sell out fast — in stores and online. So if you see a good price for an item on
your list, be sure to grab it. And plan to ship gifts at least two weeks before Christmas Eve.
Online Sales Will Start Early
This year, it maybe more like Cyber Season, with online promotions and sales starting right after Halloween. With
concerns about crowds, retailers will likely save a lot of their inventory for online sales. To avoid parking lot chaos, try
to pick up your purchases first thing in the morning or later in the evening, when wait times should be shorter.
Outlets Are Online Too
If one of your holiday shopping traditions is a trip to the outlets, you can still experience the thrill of the bargain
hunt—from home. Shoppremiumoutlets.com is the virtual version of the country’s largest outlet company. In someways,
it’s even better than an in-person trip because you can shop by item or category and immediately see what different
retailers have in stock, rather than going store to store .
When to Shop
Not on Thanksgiving: Many stores that opened their doors on the holiday last year have announced that they will
be closed this year. One upside for shoppers is rock-bottom prices as some stores liquidate (清仓). The downsides:
They might not be around if you need to return something or use a gift card. In other words: Bankruptcy buyers
beware.
21. Which is the best time to send gifts?
A. October 30. B. December 9. C. December 15. D. December 24.
22. What can we learn about holiday shopping this year?
A. Shoppers can only buy items online.
B. Shopping on Thanksgiving is the best choice.
C. Popular products might sell out fast only in stores.
D. Shoppers may see a good price for an item right after Halloween.
23. Who will be most interested in this passage?
A. People who are money-less. B. People who like shopping at home.
C. People who are retailers. D. People who are fond of bargains.
B
During the first half of the year 2020, Australia experienced an extreme drought followed by disastrous bushfires
and heavy rainfall that brought massive flooding. Next came the pandemic（流行病）. With people not coming in to the
lab or staying only long enough to conduct their experiments, we lost our sense of interpersonal connection. Then, in
July, our director shared that she had been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer.
In the wake of that shocking announcement, one of the center’s group leaders suggested we send our director
weekly good news to keep her informed and to try to lift her spirits. One week later, we sent the first email.
The effect of this simple newsletter — which went to our director and all the group members as well as leaders —
was significant. “I love good news time,” a colleague wrote, “It really is uplifting.”
These days, we solicit good news every Wednesday and send out an email every Friday. The process and format
are simple and no-frills, making the newsletter sustainable. Good news includes securing grants and fellowships,
much-needed new computers arriving, a student submitting their thesis, publishing papers, becoming parents, turning
40, and — of course — growing roses on one’s balcony.
Last month, one group leader’s good news was that, after breaking his arm, he finally had his cast（石膏）removed.
The next week, he reported that his daughter broke her arm, saying that the number of broken bones in his family is a
conserved quantity. It wasn’t exactly good news, but it did make me laugh quietly. Equally important, sharing it helps
us stay connected in these difficult times.
Regardless of what the future holds, we plan to continue to share our good news.
24. In which respect do the author and his members benefit from the news in the text?
A. Improving working efficiency. B. Creating a competitive atmosphere.
C. Strengthening each other’s bond. D. Being reminded of positive things.
25. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To lay the foundation for academic research.
B. To describe how unlucky they were in 2020.
C. To provide background for sharing good news.
D. To stress the necessity of cheering up the unfortunate.
26. How can we find the news listed in paragraph 4?
A. No good news is too small to share. B. Good news helps sweep away tragedies.
C. News making you laugh is good news. D. Never ignore the positive side in bad news.
27. Which word can best describe the the group leader mentioned in paragraph5?
A. Humorous. B. Easy-going. C. Sympathetic. D. Open-minded.
C
Every woman dreams of receiving a huge, sparkling and priceless diamond. Now scientists have discovered the
largest diamond in the universe.
But it’s well beyond the reach of the most lovestruck men — 50 light years to be precise. Space scientists revealed
that they had discovered a ten billion trillion trillion carat gem. Measuring 2,500 miles across and weighing five million
trillion trillion pounds, the rock was found on Valentine's Day buried in the core of a white dwarf star (白矮星）in the
constellation Centaurus（人马座）.
“It’s the mother of all diamonds,” said Travis Metcalfe, who led the team of researchers at the
Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in America.
“You would need a jeweller’s loupe (放大镜) the size of the Sun to grade this diamond.” Named Lucy, after the
Beatles' song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the rock has sent a ripple of excitement through the scientific world.
The largest diamond found on earth was the 3,106-carat ( 克 拉 ) Cullinan. It was cut into nine major stones,
including the 530-carat Star of Africa, now a part of the Crown Jewels. Diamonds were first discovered in India more
than 2,800 years ago. The Ancient Romans believed that the stones were splinters of stars that had tumbled to earth.
In Ancient Egypt, diamonds were symbols of eternity and were used in funeral rites. In the Middle Ages, men
wore them to symbolize their courage and virility. The tradition of giving them as love tokens dates from 1477, when
Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy.

B. The largest diamond on earth was found 2,800 years ago.
C. The Crown Jewels was totally made of the 530-carat Star of Africa.

C. Discovery — the largest diamond in the world D. Diamond — the dream of women
31. You can probably read the passage in _____.

Ever wonder how your brain works when making decisions bigger than medium versus (与...相对）spicy salsa,
like buying a car or accepting a job offer? Researchers from the University of Dundee in Scotland conducted a study
that clarifies why you may want to have a small bite before making that big decision.
Benjamin Vincent from the University of Dundee’s Psychology department and his co-author Jordan Skyrnka
tested 50 people two times: once when they followed their normal eating patterns and once when they did not eat
anything during the day. Using three different types of rewards (food, money, and song downloads), the team
discovered when presented with the choice of receiving the reward now versus double the award at some point in the
future, participants would usually volunteer to wait for 35 days to earn a larger bounty, but when they were hungry,
they said they would only wait three days.
“We wanted to know whether being in a state of hunger had a specific effect on how you make decisions only
relating to food or if it had broader effects, and this research suggests decision-making gets more present-focused when
people are hungry,” Vincent said in a story about the study on the university’s website. “You would predict that hunger
would impact people’s preferences relating to food, but it is not yet clear why people get more present-focused for
completely unrelated rewards…Hunger is so common that it is important to understand the non-obvious ways in which
our preferences and decisions may be affected by it,” he said.
In an earlier study of the subject by a team at Cambridge University in England, the researchers noted that
serotonin ( 血 清 素 ) plays a major role in the decision-making process. “Since the raw material for making
serotonin—an amino acid called tryptophan（色氨酸）— only comes from diet, levels of the chemical decline between
meals,” reports a piece in the Telegraph about the study. “This can lead to aggressiveness and impulsiveness,” say the
team.
32. How did Benjamin Vincent and Jordan Skyrnka carry out their research?
A. By analyzing reasons. B. By making comparison.
C. By giving examples. D. By filling questionnaires.
33. The underlined word “bounty” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by _____.
A. bonus. B. quantity. C. income. D. fortune.
34. What conclusion can we draw from Vincent’ study?
A. It’s common to make a wrong decision if you are hungry.
B. Make sure you are not hungry before making a big decision.
C. The more hungry you are, the quicker you will make a decision.
D. Being hungry drives you to make a decision connected with food.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. What should be eaten to make a wise man.
B. How can we get enough serotonin from our diet.
C. What other factors will influence one’s decision-making.
D. How does a chemical function in the course of making a decision.

How to Bake Absolutely Anything
If you’ve never baked before, this guide will explain the basic foundations of baking, offer tips for baking specific
food groups, and suggest a few recipes to get you started baking. 36
Read the whole recipe before you start.
We’ve all gotten half-way through a recipe only to find we don’t have any buttermilk. Plus, a quick read can help
you prepare for what’s ahead, particularly if there are any techniques with which you’re not familiar.
Use butter at the right temperature.
37 It is the right consistency（粘稠度）for creaming with sugar. Biscuit and pie pastry recipes call for ice-cold
butter in order to create the flakiest layers. If your butter isn’t the correct temperature, your bakes won’t mix up the way
they should.
38
When it comes to baking, it’s always preferable to measure your ingredients by weight rather than volume. This
ensures you get exactly the right proportions. It may not be critical for something simple like a pan of cake, but it’s
important with picky baked items, such as macarons.
Freeze cookie dough(面团).
We know how tempting it is to get your cookies in the oven the second you’re done mixing up your dough. 39
And it prevents cookies from spreading too much. Do not skip this step!
Cool cakes completely before frosting.
Always let your cakes, cupcakes, and cookies cool completely before frosting them. If they are too warm, the
frosting will slide right off the top of your cake or melt and dip in. 40 If you don’t have one, take the cover off your
ironing board and use the board as a cooling shelf.
A. Use the right butter.
B. Weigh all your ingredients.
C. If they are cool, it will be great.
D. Cooling shelves speed up the process.
E. Most cake and cookie recipes call for softened butter.
F. However, cooling the dough can help develop flavors.
G. Don't worry — if the ancient Egyptians could do it, so can you!

M: I see. And the studio ? That was $2,000 a month, right?
W: Yes, but I seem to remember you saying you were worried about the noise at night, due to all the bars close by.
M: True. Well, I have a lot to think about. Thank you for your time.

W: Welcome to Haybridge Hall. First, we’ll introduce the general history of the house. Haybridge Hall was constructed at the end
of the 15th century and was originally called Hawken Hall when the first family owned it. Jack Hawken was a local
businessman who had become wealthy thanks to success with wool exports. The house changed very little in the last 500
years with the exception of the Dawson Conservatory which can be found behind the ticket office. This was added in 1941
when the British Amy was using Haybridge Hall as a head office for the 8th Army. The Hawken family only managed to
hold onto this fine property for around a decade before they had to sell up and the name Haybridge was used by the
Yardley family who bought. The Yardley family was not from this area but from the north of England. They owned Haybridge
for some 200 years and turned the surrounding area into productive farmland where various crops were grown.
