According to the market research company Mintel, sales have almost tripled over the past five years. While ebikes have become increasingly commonplace, they are still undeniably expensive. You can pick up a perfectly adequate push bike for 300, but most ebikes cost nearly 2,000.Now, Cycling Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.Best folding bikeCarbo Model XPrice: 2,799| Weight: 13.3kgRange: up to 34 milesThis is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is the perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain. This makes it lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more traditional, oily chain.Most stylishTemple Cycles ClassicPrice: from 2,995 | Weight: 19kgRange: up to 74 milesThis Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant pushbikes, which are hand-built in the city. This is its electric version. It's a very sleek and functional commuter option and not too heavy. Temples have fewer proprietary（品牌专卖的）parts and so are serviceable in any bike shop. Stylish as they may be, the VanMoofs and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.The money-no-object optionRiese & Mller Nevo4 GT Vario GXPrice: 5,380|Weight: 28.4kgRange: up to 93 milesThis is a prime example of the attention to detail delivering a high-quality experience in functionality, comfort and practicality-if you can afford it. It has the capacity to handle 25kg of luggage in a pannier, powerful road lights and a beautifully smooth motor.21. What is the advantage of the Temples over other stylish ebike brands?A. They are more lightweight. B. They have easier access to service.C. They have more functions. D. They are more comfortable.22. Which ebike will a consumer probably choose, who cares most about an excellent experience?A. Carbo Model X. B. The VanMoofs and the Cowboys. C. Riese & Mller Nevo4 GT Vario GX. D. Temple Cycles Classic.23. Where is the text probably taken from?A. An online post. B. An official document.C.A market research report. D. A magazine column. B Four years ago, Rome Leykin was on his way to work when he accidentally fell onto the tracks of Brooklyn's L train as a subway was approaching. The incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs. But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. “When I saw it, I was like, 'Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.' he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.” Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38. “I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself.” he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym. And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics. For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. “There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good,” he said. “'And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.” 24. What can we learn about Rome Leykin from paragraph 2? A. He made hand cycling more popular among the disabled.B. He considered hand cycling difficult in the beginning. C. He once was an excellent basketball player. D. He showed an interest in hand cycling the moment he saw it. 25. How did Rome Leykin feel about the coming marathon?A. Nervous. B. Worried. C. Confident. D. Curious.26. Which of the following can best describe Rome Leykin? A. Open-minded and creative. B. Kind-hearted and helpful.C. Easy-going and reliable. D. Strong-willed and ambitious. 27. What message does Rome Leykin convey in the last paragraph? A. Focus on your strengths. B. Break down your goals.C Achieve success at all costs D. Stick to your dreams. C The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the U. S. and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a far-reaching impact on agriculture, forestry, and conservation.By analyzing data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species' chance of success in a changing climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether it flies, climbs or runs.We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate, said Tong Qiu, who led the study. That means you're going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems. But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas.We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they're largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we're showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems, said Qiu.The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation's National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and from 11 previously published studies to measure and map the beetles' distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gap s in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON's imaging instruments to create detailed three-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate (模拟) climate changes to study how the insects would respond.28. What does the new study in North America show?A. The survival of ground beetles only depends on its habitat.B. Some ground beetles will not survive a climate change.C. Pests could destroy crops.D. Some ground beetles will destroy crops in a warmer climate.29. What does Tong Qiu intend to convey in paragraphs 3 and 4?A. Ground beetles will become less mobile in a warmer climate.B. There is no way to stop the decline of ground beetles.C. Critical pests are more adaptable in a warmer, drier climate.D. The importance of ground beetles should be widely recognized.30. How did the research team carry out the study? A. By analyzing data. B. By performing experiments.C. By studying documents. D. By doing field research. 31. What can be the best title for the text?A. New Breakthrough in Biodiversity ResearchB. A Catastrophic Climate Change on the WayC. Crop-saving Beetles under Climate ThreatD. North American Agriculture Crops at Risk DAutomation was a hot topic. Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computers and other kinds of automatic machinery became widespread. For optimists, this was a promise of liberation: At last humanity would be freed from constant toil, and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits. But others saw a threat: Millions of people would be thrown out of work, and desperate masses would roam the streets. Looking back from 50 years hence, the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode. The dispute was never resolved. A. J. Hayes, a leader （and no relation to me）, wrote in 1964: Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order. Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient--and thus more valuable--automation threatens to make them superfluous（过剩的）--and thus without value. The opinions I have cited here represent extreme positions, and there were also many milder views. But I think it's fair to say that most early students of automation, including both critics and enthusiasts, believed the new technology would lead us into a world where people worked much less. As for economic consequences, worries about unemployment have certainly not gone away--not with job losses in the current recession approaching 2 million workers in our country alone. But recent job losses are commonly attributed to causes other than automation, such as competition from overseas or a roller-coaster financial system. In any case, the vision of a world where machines do all the work and people stand idly by has simply not come to pass. The spread of automation outside of the factory has altered its social and economic impact in some curious ways. In many cases, the net effect of automation is not that machines are doing work that people used to do. Instead we've dispensed with the people who used to be paid to run the machines, and we've learned to run them ourselves. These trends contradict almost all the expectations of early writers on automation, both optimists and pessimists. So far, automation has neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived us of the opportunity to work. Instead, we're working more than ever. What about trades closer to my own vital interests? Will science be automated? Technology already has a central role in many areas of research; for example, genome sequences could not be read by traditional lab-bench methods. Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than replacing the lab technician, but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity, I think we'll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research. And if the scientist is elbowed aside by an automaton, then surely the science writer can't hold out either. I'm ready for my 15-hour workweek. 32. In Paragraph 1, the writer mainly wants to convey that ____.A. automation brings in much convenience in life B. automation results in unemployment onC. the issue of automation is still in discussionD. automation does more harm than good33. According to A. J. Hayes, we can infer ____.A. the disadvantages of automation far outweigh the advantages B. automation is a revolutionary force to better developmentC. the new technology would lead people into working much lessD. automation is more valuable than what we imagine34. What does the underlined word possibly mean?A. Set. . . free from. B. Bring. . . into. C. Put. . . down for. D. Take. . . away from. 35. What can we conclude from this passage?A. Traditional labor force will be replaced in the near future. B. Automation results in more job losses in the writer's country. C. Automation should be accepted reasonably in development. D. People needn't work so hard due to automation. 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。One of the primary goals of cognitive behavioral therapy (疗法) is finding effective ways to channel your anxiety into productive action. The best possible one is under the care of an experienced mental health care provider. Still, if you are hoping to stop being paralyzed (麻痹) by anxiety and use this energy to fuel and improve your life, you can. 36 Set a goal. Goal-setting is one way to use your anxiety as fuel. Take notice of your anxious thoughts and worries. What are you most concerned about? 37 Instead of shaking in your boots, get to work developing a plan that allows you to overcome these fears.Challenge yourself regularly to build resilience. Think of your resilience to anxiety as a muscle. 38 Rather than avoiding those situations that cause anxiety, gradually expose yourself to them more often. When you do this, you will find that, over time, they lose their power. For instance, if you hate public speaking, you might benefit from signing up for a local Toastmasters club. Doing so will allow you to practice speaking in front of a group more often, which will reduce your anxiety. 39 Anxiety can feel like a live wire in your body. You can’t sit still or focus. Exercise is a great activity to make use of this spare energy. Exercise offers a host of benefits like fighting off illness and helping you manage weight. One of the benefits most helpful to you, however, is its ability to neutralize anxiety and improve your mood.Perform reality testing. You don’t have to become a slave to your anxious thoughts, giving them permission to get you all worked up. 40 Reality testing involves assessing a situation for errors in thinking. To assess the reality of this situation, you want to ask what evidence is there that says this is true. Did your friends actually call you lame? Are they avoiding you?A. Put them to the test instead.B. What are your biggest fears?C. Burn off nervous energy with physical activity.D. When you find yourself becoming anxious, check your thought patternsE. Just transform anxiety into action by using positive strategies.F. How can you deal with getting fired if it does happen?G. The more you use the muscle, the stronger it becomes.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的ABC和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school.
