Geography. B. Architecture. C. Travel. D. History. . B “The queuing delays are a tiny part of your total hours of life, so dont let them be a major source of anxiety, says Richard Larson, who has studied queuing for 40 years. Larson came up with mathematical methods for predicting what he calls slips and skips, where a newcomer arrives after you but gets the service first. Such cutting doesnt need to be intentional to feel unjust. “If you are the victim, you suffer a psychological cost, Larson says. “You can get angry or even violent Just relax instead. Larson has noticed more and more queues that allow people to buy their way into a faster lane. Hes unsure whether that could change the culture of how Americans line up, but it might. A well- designed line makes cheating nearly impossible. If you find yourself in a long line, a queue to get hundreds of millions of people vaccinated (接种疫苗) for Covid-19, be patient. Dont try to cut ahead of others just because no one is standing behind you to see it. While you wait, let yourself be distracted (分心 ) by a book, music or whatever occupies your mind. Sometimes, distraction is built in by designers. If you find yourself growing disappointed in a line, look behind you. The more people you see, the more likely you are to stay in line and maybe even be pleased with your position. Sometimes great human experiences are shared while waiting in line. Larson recently got his Covid-19 vaccination. Normally, he tends to avoid queues, but he relished this one. Many around him were elderly, some in wheelchairs, some with helpers. There was excitement on their faces as they waited together, a lightness that only comes when fear begins to lift. 24. According to Richard Larson, if faced with slips and skips, you should, A. be overcome with unfairness B. solve the problem with violence C. cut in line without being noticed D. have a calm and peaceful mind 25. We can conclude from the passage that A. the way that Americans queue up will be changed B. people never jump the queue in a well- designed line C. it is unnecessary to stay in line when you get vaccinated D. distraction can relieve anxiety of people in a long line 26. The underlined word “relished in the last paragraph probably means A. teased B. enjoyed C. reserved D. opposed 27. The passage is intended to answer the question“ A. Why should you queue up in public places? B. What are the reasons for jumping the queue? C. What can you do while waiting in line? D. How can queuing up be avoided? C Outside an art museum in Topeka, Kansas, some kids are playing happily in what looks like a large Hobbit House while others are walking through the houses woven (编织) archway into a twisted twig (嫩枝) tower. The tower, made entirely of sticks, is a sculpture built by Dougherty. Dougherty has created more than 200 stick sculptures all over the world. “I design my sculptures to look like theyve always been there, he says. And he likes people to get involved in his work. If they arrive during the three weeks he takes to build a sculpture, he lets them build, too. “I want my work to help people enjoy nature. As a child, Dougherty learned to love nature while traveling through the woods. He would spend hours bending sticks into shelters for his brothers and sisters. When he grew up, he majored in art and learnt to make sculptures with clay. But it was too heavy to make the lines and shapes he imagined. One day, he watched thin, young trees waving in the wind. They reminded him of the sticks he built shelters with as a boy. Soon after, he began his first creation made out of sticks. To begin a sculpture, Dougherty digs holes and buries tall young trees in the ground for support. Then he weaves (编织) smaller sticks around them. He uses strings to hold and bend the twigs while hes weaving. When he removes the string, the sticks stay in place. It usually takes four tons of sticks to build a sculpture, and Dougherty chooses materials that would otherwise be wasted. Doughertys sculptures last two to four years. But even after that, they serve a purpose. The wood is cut up into tiny pieces called mulch (覆盖料), which makes soil rich and helps new plants grow after it breaks down. 28. The description of kids playing in Paragraph 1 functions as _ A. a brief introduction to the museum B. a vivid lead. in to the sculptor C. a lively advertisement of artistic work D. a clear display of the architecture 29. What can we infer about Dougherty from the passage? A. He would like to invite visitors to build sculptures with him. B. He likes using twigs to change the sticks before weaving them. C. He is likely to waste tons of sticks and other materials. D. He is devoted to the construction of all kinds of sculptures. 30. What does the underlined pronoun “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Sculpture. . B. Wood, C. Soil. D. Mulch. 31. What can be the suitable title for the passage? A. Bending sticks into sculptures B. A friendly companion C. Protecting the environment D. A natural art museum D Nowadays, we neednt look far to find something new to watch. So why do so many of us choose to watch films weve already seen, even knowing every line of the script? A survey revealed rewatching films weve already seen countless times is common. Some titles were mentioned repeatedly - Back To The Future, Top Gun, and musicals like The Rain. In 2016,a website surveyed 1,169 people to list the 25 most rewatched films一with Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz and The sound of Music taking the top spots. Finding which movies we watch again and again is easy. Exactly why we do it is less clear. Obviously we love them and think they deserve our attention. One said,“ Some films are what I Think complete and are so familiar that you can stop and start at any point. They are deeply satisfying and you can lose yourself in them.” While that might explain the second, third, or fourth viewing, what keeps us coming back to a movie when we already know every detail, and there are so many other new films to choose from? One explanation is that watching something familiar takes up less mental energy. We dont have to concentrate to work out whats going on. Instead, we just sit back and relax. When faced with diverse choices, its easier to return to an old film that we believe won t disappoint us. A psychological phenomenon, “the mere exposure effect- in which we develop a preference for something familiar一could also be a good explanation. So the more we watch, the more we want to watch. A 2012 study on cultural “re-consumption found that rewatching movies can also make us reflect on how weve grown一a measuring stick for how much our lives have changed. Perhaps thats one of the biggest reasons why we return to films, to recall not only for a time in history but for a time in our lives. 32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. There are few good movies people can choose from. B. People often watch movies many times to memorize lines. C. People like to enjoy some movies once and again. D. Star Wars, Top Gun and The sound of Music are top hits. 33. The reasons why people rewatch films are as follows except that A. it makes viewers much more comfortable to rewatch the films B. familiar movies can remind people of impressive experiences C. viewers find it hard to select a better film than familiar ones D. it is those well-produced movies that always appeal to viewers 34. What will be discussed in the flowing paragraph A. The connection between rewatched films and personal experiences B. The special emotional stales when people rewatch movies. C. The recently-released films that have been revisited several times D. The high quality the most popular movies usually offer. 35. Whats the authors attitude to0 the phenomenon of ppls rewatching films? A. Negative. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious. 第二节七选五(共5小题:每小题2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。.
