2．Loneliness is significant mental health concern and can raise risk of death by 45% and contact with nature in cities significantly reduces feelings of loneliness，according to a team of scientists.
The study is the first to assess how the environment can affect loneliness.It used real-time data，collected via a smartphone app，rather than relying on people's memory of how they were feeling.
The research found that feelings of overcrowding increased loneliness by an average of 30%.But when people were able to see trees or hear birds，feelings of loneliness fell by 28%.Feelings of social inclusion also cut loneliness by 21% and when these feelings coincided（巧合）with contact with nature，the beneficial effect was boosted by a further 18%．
The findings pointed to interventions to reduce loneliness.The researchers said，"Specific measures that increase social inclusion -and contact with nature should be taken，especially in thickly populated cities." Time spent in nature is known to boost well-being，with woodland walks estimated to save the UK at least f 185 m a year in mental health costs，for example.
The research collected data from urban citizens across the world using the Urban Mind search app.More than 750 people provided 16，600 of these assessments.The participants were self-selecting and so it did not provide a representative sample of the wider populations.But when the researchers took age，education，and occupation into account，the benefits of nature contact and feelings of social inclusion on loneliness remained strongly statistically significant.Johanna Gibbons，part of the research team，said，"Cities are probably the only habitat that is increasing at a high rate.So we should be creating urban habitats where people can thrive（兴旺）."
（1）How was the research conducted？
A．By relying on people's memory.
B．By surveying 750 participants.
C．By collecting data through a smart phido app.
D．By checking a worldwide representative ample.
（2）What can we learn from Paragraph 4？
A．Many big cities take the lead in the research.
B．Time spent indoors improves people's well-being.
C．Woodland walks greatly reduce social contact with people.
D．Interventions to reduce loneliness benefit the UK financially.
（3）What can be inferred about the research？
A．The findings are statistically markable.
B．It offers a wide range of samples globally.
C．The carefully selected participants are definable.
D．Many factors are considered except education.
（4）What's the text mainly about？

D．Research on how to get rid of loneliness in nature.组卷：18引用：4难度：0.5 -
3．The COVID-19 pandemic has been a frequent topic of conversation for most of us over the past year.As we dreamt of indoor dining，vacations，and hugging our friends again，my friend Ana texted that her mother，living in Brazil，had been infected by the coronavirus.I won't go into details here，but the disruption to life in Brazil have been especially upsetting considering their social and cultural norms（规范）.
Ana is Brazilian，and I'm from the US.While living in New York City，we became fast friends despite the few awkward cultural differences I learned to deal with.She was comfortable with intimacy；I preferred to keep my distance.She liked the company of many；I liked the friendship of few.It was awkward for me to lean in for a quick hug，only to be embraced then kissed on the cheeks.To this day，I'm not an excellent cheek kisser，but I try.She is one of many people over the years who have educated me，in a way，about delighting in cultural difference.
I called Ana to check on her mother and I was primarily curious about how social and cultural norms have been affected.It's difficult，said Ana，because the necessary health regulations are opposite to "what we believe and everything we know about living in a community and displaying feelings of love"，but she hasn't given up hope.I asked if the shifts made during the pandemic will change cultural norms. "Absolutely not，" said Ana.This is who Brazilians are in nature and change doesn't happen overnight.They spend a lot of time and energy investing in relationships，and the deeply rooted social conventions won't change quickly.
Over the years，Ana has shared many stories that emphasize the differences in our upbringing.I delight in our differences，even if kissing on the cheek makes me uncomfortable.We find our commonalities，like talking with our hands，being expressive，and valuing community.And we learn from our differences.COVID disrupted many things，but through all of this，Ana said，we must constantly be adjusting，understanding，and doing what's best for our communities and the people we love.
（1）Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 1？
A．Adjustment.
B．Disturbance.
C．Commitment.
D．Preference.
（2）What can we learn about Ann from Paragraph 2？
A．She is good at educating other people.
B．She prefers to stay alone in her own comfort zone.
C．She enjoys the close contact with others.
D．It took a long time for her to make friends with me.
（3）Why doesn't Ana think the pandemic will change social and cultural norms？
A．Because the Brazilians are born to be sociable.
B．Because the social conventions are easy to change.
C．Because the health regulations consist with her beliefs.
D．Because Brazilians rarely value investment in relationships.
（4）What would be the best title for the passage？
A．My Attitude towards Friendship
B．Social and Cultural norms in the Pandemic
C．The Influence of COVID-19 on Life
D．My Acceptance of Cultural Differences组卷：43引用：8难度：0.5

9．On Friday evening，Emmett and I went to a movie as scheduled.After purchasing the tickets and drinks，we entered the cinema with delight beforehand，waiting for the beginning of the movie.
When I got up in the middle of the movie，Emmett whispered，" Carter，where are you going？""I forgot to call my mom to tell her what time to pick us up."I whispered back，leaving my jacket on the seat.
I squeezed past the people in my row，trying not to step on any feet while still watching the screen.I didn't want to miss a thing.Balfour，the good guy in the movie，was trapped in an underground cave.
When I came back，Balfour's flashlight almost went out.An enormous snake was moving toward him，twisting its body.Balfour struggled to loosen the chains around his hands and feet o reach his magic cape.With the cape around him，he could completely disappear.
I crawled back across eight people （I counted on the way out），never taking my eyes off the screen.I sat down in my seat slowly，then picked up my drink，and swallowed it quickly.But suddenly my brain said， " That's not coke.That's lemonade."I looked down at the cup，just as the girl next to me shouted，"He drank my lemonade!"
"Shhhh!" the people around us said，making quiet complaints.
"Where's Emmett？"I asked，as if the girl had hidden him under her seat.
"Carter，down here，"Emmett answered in a low voice.He was two rows ahead of me.I was the wrong row!Everyone was turning around to look at me.
"Here，"I said，handing the girl her drink.
"Eww，" she said."You have had a drink of it，so you owe me a lemonade."
"Shhhh!"everyone said again complaining as I inched out.
