12．（8分）Devon Gallagher，a college graduate from Philadelphia，wants the world to know exactly where she's been during her worldwide vacation in aspecial way．

The traveler，who was born with a bone disease，had her right leg amputated（截肢） at the age of four.Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on，she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life．

To spread that message，Gallagher has taken to social media，where she shares photos of her travels across the globe，but instead of simply using a geotag，she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture．

Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent，which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam，relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona，posing with a waffle in Brussels，taking spectacular pictures in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest，all with the wellknown locations written on her artificial leg．

"I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it.One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard，" Gallagher said."My mum and grandmother weren't too keen on the idea，but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it，so I did．"

Gallagher said people often stare when she's writing on her leg，but once she shares the photos，she receives only positive feedback."My leg hasn't stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do，" she said."I don't know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it，but regardless，I've been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life．"

13．（8分）Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals.The more we come into contact with wild animals，the more we risk a so﹣called disease "spillover" from animals to humans．

"As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment，humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly，" said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.Fair argues that by shifting  animal habitats，climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent."Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change，" Fair said．

Scientists，including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair's team at Los Alamos，are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases.It's early days for this kind of research，but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak.Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards（果园）in Malaysia to find food.Those bats，a common disease reservoir，then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s．

"We're going by the past data to really predict what's going to happen in the future，" Fair said，"And so，anytime you increase that wildlife﹣human interface，that's sort of an emerging disease hot spot.And so，that's just increasing as we go forward．"

Jeffrey Shaman，head of the climate and health program at Columbia University's public health school，argues we don't yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally.For example，mosquitoes carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year.As their habitats expand in some parts of the world，they might contract diseases elsewhere.Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up．

（1）How does climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair？　   　

A.By breaking animals' habits．

B.By increasing animals' varieties．

C.By promoting animals' breeding．

D.By changing animals' living environment．

（2）What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3？　   　

A.Explaining the influence of Nipah virus．

B.Proving the harm of bats to human beings．

C.Showing the effects of climate change on disease．

D.Presenting scientists' early study about the cause of disease．

（3）What can we infer from Fair's words in paragraph 4？　   　

A.Humans should give up studying animals．

B.Past data can solve the problems in the future．

C.Disease hot spots will disappear if animals die out．

D.Frequent contact with animals can cause disease outbreaks．

（4）What could be the best title for the text？　   　

A.Climate Change and Disease Spillover

B.Animals' Interaction with Humans

D.Early Studies about Extreme Weather

C.Scientists' Prediction for Disease Outbreaks

New App Helps People Remember Faces

Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming.Pressure to learn people's names only adds to the stress.A new facial﹣recognition app could come to the rescue，but privacy experts  recommend proceeding with caution．

The app，called SocialRecall，connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition，potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions."It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody，" says Barry Sandrew，who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1，000 people．

After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer，the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media.At the event，the app is active within a previously defined geographical area.When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face，the app identifies the individual，displays the person's name，and links to his or her social media profile.To protect privacy，it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate.And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users' data after an event．

Ann Cavoukian，a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app's creators for these protective measures.She cautions，however，that when people choose to share their personal information with the app，they should know that "there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you．"

The start﹣up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia，or "face blindness，" a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met.To use this app，a person first acquires an image of someone's face，from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph，and then tags it with a name.When the camera spots that same face in real life，the previously entered information is displayed.The collected data are stored only on a user's phone，according to the team behind the app．

（1）SocialRecall is used to　   　．

A.take photos

B.identify people

C.organize events

D.make friends

（2）Paragraph 3 is mainly about　   　．

A.how the app works

B.how the app was created

C.what makes the app popular

D.what people can do with the app

（3）SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by　   　．

A.giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones

B.collecting information previously entered in the phone

C.providing the information of a person when they first meet

D.showing the person's information when it spots a stored face

（4）What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage？　   　

A.It may put people's privacy at risk．

B.It has caused unintended consequences．

C.It can prevent some communication disorders．

D.It is praised by users for its protective measures．

第二节（共1小题，每小题10分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．

15．（10分）Studies show that people who are happy﹣truly happy﹣have deep connections with those around them.（1）　   　 They actively try hard to improve these relationships and build quality relationships with others．

Those connections and relationships that we build and that we attempt to develop，create experiences in our lives.Some experiences will be poor，but it is possible for us to create meaningful experiences﹣ experiences that allow us to just be.Studies show that when we create meaningful experiences，we allow ourselves time to relax，to build connections，and to become our best selves.（2）　   　

If we want to create meaningful experiences，we need to learn how to create these moments in our lives.Instead of taking many classes and workshops to teach us how to build connections with others，we should experience be SHOPs，which means we learn by being，by observing，and by becoming．

（3）　   　 It helps define us and motivates us to do good，to step outside of our comfort zone，and to be better.A few of these values that we need to create meaningful experiences include：

● Compassion（同情）： Compassion has been thoroughly studied and proven to be a natural human response．（4）　   　 When you are compassionate，you don't have to think twice about helping others．

● Gratitude： Showing sincere appreciation to others helps establish strong feelings of gratitude，and build strong connections.You should express appreciation for all the things in your life and make gratefulness just a part of who you are．

● Willingness to learn： （5）　   　 Many individuals will find themselves stuck in their own world and never take a step outside of their comfort zones.When we have that desire to learn，to explore，and our curiosity is continually peaked，then we are more likely to have these meaningful experiences．

Remember，true happiness，and meaningful experiences are not things you can learn from a series of worksheets and lectures.It is about being．

A.There is so much in the world around us．

B."To be" requires key values that shape us．

C.It means service，kindness and love for others．

D.Within the communities，you can work on developing these values．

E.Working with others will help you experience many aspects of life．

F.Creating these experiences is a vital step in the process to achieve full happiness．

G.They lay stress on the relationships with their family，friends ，colleagues and even strangers．

16．（30分）When I was a kid，my parents sent me to a summer camp in New Hampshire.At the camp we did tons of great things like swimming，sports and archery（射箭），but for me，the most memorable （1）　   　 was an overnight trip of mountain climbing.If you've ever （2）　   　 a mountain，you know it's a physical challenge，（3）　   　when you're carrying your food and shelter on your back.When campers got （4）　   　，they certainly started complaining．

"How much farther is it？"

"I can't go any further．"

"My（5）　   　 is too heavy.Can you carry it for me？"

The reply of the （6）　   　was，"Suck it up（不要再抱怨了）．" The truth is that the complaining campers were （7）　   　 near the point of （8）　   　.If they had been，the teachers would have noticed the（9）　   　 and given them care.The kids simply weren't used to the physical challenge.Once they realized they weren't getting any sympathy they （10）　   　 the discomfort，and in most cases （11）　   　 having a great time.In my camp days，I don't （12）　   　 a single camper complaining at the （13）　   　 of the mountain．

There are two ways to deal with an （14）　   　 situation.You can complain，or you can make the best of it.If you complain，you might feel like you're getting that （15）　   　 energy out，but you are probably not going to cause a positive change.It's much more likely that your complaining will cause the （16）　   　 of those around you.No one likes a complainer.They're （17）　   　 and they hurt the group.Complaining makes life （18）　   　 for everyone.Instead，if you determine to master your own （19）　   　，to move past it and focus on a （20）　   　，it's my experience that you'll realize it wasn't bad in the first place．

Decoding respirator cultures

As the global pandemic speeds up，many are wondering about the （1）　   　（effective） of masks and when it's appropriate to wear them.Most people from the East believe that （2）　   　（wear）a mask is essential to control the spread of the novel coronavirus pneumonia （NCP）.But people in the West generally would argue that，unless one is already ill，wearing a mask is simply （3）　   　（necessary）．

In Eastern countries like China，mask﹣wearing is engrained in their cultures.In fact，people in the East wear masks not just to protect （4）　   　（they） from illness but also for a variety of other reasons．

In many Asian countries，masks are worn in many scenarios in daily life，such as doing housework（5）　   　 visiting patients in the hospital.They can give people the comfort of being protected．

In recent years，they are worn simply for cosmetic reasons.Young people in Japan，for example，wear masks as a fashion statement，expressing their personal style through unique designs and patterns．

In Asia，wearing a face mask is also （6）　   　 outward expression of group﹣oriented values．

（7）　   　one's face partially covered，one becomes part of a giant collectivist whole."People communicated their responsibilities to the social group of （8）　   　they were members，" wrote Peter Baehr，a research professor in social theory at Lingnan University，Hong Kong."By disguising an individual's face，it gave greater salience to collective identity．"

In Western countries，however，individual values are the most important．

As a citizen，it is one's duty to prevent the spread of illness by following proper hygienic procedures，such as washing one's hands and limiting one's contact with others.A face mask（9）　   　 （reserve）only for those showing symptoms of illness．

Whether from the East or the West，social culture and peer pressure have played an important role in one's decision about whether or not to wear a mask.That's because human beings are social creatures who take into consideration what other members of society think of us.The most important thing is to respect others' opinions，no matter how （10）　   　（differ） they are．

第四部分书面表达（满分25分）

19．Dear Peter，

I'm glad to have received your letter asking about how we put the theory "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets．" into practice． Here is something about it．

Several years ago， a couple of economic zones were built to attract investors． Unfortunately， all the efforts were in vain due to the poor natural environment． Only then did the government realize the importance of green hills and clear waters． Therefore， concrete measures were taken to beautify the environment such as preventing pollution， planting trees and so on， which contributed to a new natural environment with birds singing in the forest and fish swimming in clear water． Owing to the attractive environment， more and more people come to visit and invest which in turn led to a boom of our economy．

I am sure you will like it． Looking forward to seeing you again in my hometown．

Yours sincerely，

Li Hua；
