11．For months now，our routines have been interrupted and we've been forced to adapt.Reportedly，one major consequence is a state of mental tiredness.It feels as if we're all in a state of constant distraction.
"It felt like I had a mental block preventing me from focusing on the page，" says Sophie Vershbow，who recognized the mood early in the pandemic （流行?。?when her tweet about "not being able to concentrate enough to read a book" was liked more than 2，000 times.
For many people，especially working parents，the sudden switch to home working has meant a conflict between work and life.It's tricky to focus on a document as your kids wrestle for the TV remote control.But even when work is finished for the day and the kids are in bed，it's hard to find any focus to escape into a novel or box-set.
A psychological theory called Cognitive Load Theory （CLT） might help explain why living in the age of COVID-19 may have turned our minds to soup.Put simply，CLT characterizes our minds as information processing systems.When we're working on a problem，especially an unfamiliar one，we depend on our "working memory"，which is very limited both in its capacity and the length of time it holds information.The less familiar you are with a task，the more you depend on your working memory to help deal with the relevant information；in contrast，when you're an expert，most of what you need to know is stored in long-term memory and you can complete the task automatically.
So COVID-19 has robbed you of the ability to do things on auto.Take a work meeting for example，before，you would just have turned up and joined in the discussion，but now if you're working remotely you have to fire up your video-conferencing software，worry about your Wi-Fi and so on.The same applies to domestic challenges too，like ordering your groceries online instead of shopping in person.These adaptations force you out of auto-pilot and draw on your limited working memory capacity.
（1）What is the result of COVID-19 mentioned in the text？
A．Being worn out mentally.
B．Drawing online attention.
C．Lack of interest in reading
D．Sticking to the old routines.
（2）What can we know about the parents in Paragraph 3？
A．They wrestle with children for the TV remote control.
B．They can strike a balance between work and life.
C．They enjoy no form of entertainment.
D．They find it hard to concentrate.
（3）What turns our minds to soup while living in the COVID-19 age？
A．Being interrupted by our kids.
B．The decline of our memory capacity.
C．Being occupied with new daily routines.
D．The independence of our working memory.
（4）Which is the best title for the text？
A．New situation，new solution
B．CLT accounts for new challenges
C．New life in the age of COVID-19
D．Adjust yourself to working online組卷：4引用：3難度：0.5 -
12．When Armstrong set foot on the moon in 1969，children saw stars in their eyes and dreamed of a never-before-imagined career：astronaut.
Becoming an astronaut is a difficult task.They must have a master's degree and at least two years of relevant professional experience.Alternatively，they must complete at least 1，000 hours under the pilot's command in a jet plane.The tricky part begins now.Astronauts must pass a long-term flight physical exam.You are unlucky if you are shorter than 5 feet 2 inches or taller than 6 feet 3 inches.Candidates must have 20/20 vision，even if they wear corrective lenses.Even while sitting，your blood pressure should not exceed 140/90.Additionally，make sure that your resume is concise and error-free.Astronauts must pay attention to minor details，which is a necessary skill for scientists.
It is not an easy road to become an astronaut.For example，in 2021，despite the fact that 18，300 people applied，only 12 were accepted by NASA，representing a 1‰ acceptance rate.Whether your application is accepted or not，it will be some time before you leave Earth.
First，you're to finish a two-year military training course.Physical tests are also required.They must first obtain a scuba diving license and then swim three laps in a pool while wearing a flight suit.Finally，students should practice driving the typical high and low atmospheric pressures in simulations （模擬）.
Astronauts must complete two years of compulsory military training in addition to six years of education and two years of professional experience.This all adds up to decades of planning.After that，astronauts must complete extensive mission training before leaving Earth.
Becoming an astronaut is challenging，but if you have a passion for space exploration，don't let challenges hold you back.
（1）According to para.2，who is most qualified to apply for astronauts？
A．A bachelor who passed normal physical exams.
B．A master with perfect resume and low blood pressure.
C．A pilot 6 feet in height with 1100-hours' flight experience.
D．A doctor with one-year relevant experience and 20/20 vision.
（2）Why does the author use statistics in paragraph 3？
A．To explain it takes some time to leave Earth.
B．To imply people's passion for space exploration.
C．To show the difficulty to be accepted as an astronaut.
D．To persuade people to give up the dream of astronaut.
（3）What's the right order of astronauts' training before leaving Earth？
①Scuba diving and swimming training
②Extreme atmospheric pressures driving training
③Extensive mission training
④A two-year military training
A．④①③②
B．①④②③
C．①②④③
D．④①②③
（4）Which can be the best title for the text？
A．The Pursuit of Space Dream.
B．How to Become an Astronaut？
C．The Hardship of Space Exploration.
D．What are the Tasks of Astronauts？組卷：5引用：1難度：0.3 -
13．The forest of today will not be the forests of tomorrow.Rising temperatures，trees being cut down，development and climate-change-caused disasters are changing the very makeup of the Earth's forests，new research published in Science finds.
Older，bigger trees are being lost at an alarming rate，making the planet's forests shorter and younger.The change is being driven at different rates by different causes in different places，the study's authors say，but the consequences will be global.
Old growth forests absorb and store massive amounts of climate-warming CO2.They provide habitats for rare and endangered species and promote rich biodiversity.Researchers found that the world lost roughly one-third of its old growth forests between 1900 and 2015.In North America and Europe，they found that tree mortality（死亡率） has doubled in the past 40 years.
"Warming temperatures，wildfires，logging and insect outbreaks were among the many causes of the decline，" says Nate McDowell，the study's lead author. "What's perhaps more concerning is that the trajectory（發(fā)展軌跡） of all these disturbances is generally increasing over time and is expected to continue increasing in the future." he says.
McDowell's focus is on how trees are affected by rising temperatures，arguably the biggest driver of forest change.To get a broader understanding of how forests are changing globally，he brought in more than 20 other researchers in different fields.Together，they examined more than 160 previous studies about tree mortality and its global causes，applying current satellite data and modeling to create a look at the Earth's changing forests to date.
"It's not a shock，but it's very sad，" says Kristina，an ecologist and leader of the ForestGEO Ecosystems &Climate Program who helped with the research. "We as a human society are hitting these forests so rapidly with so many different changes that they can't keep up." she says.
（1）What can we know from the figures in the paragraph 3？
A．More trees should be planted in no time.
B．We are losing old growth forests quickly.
C．Forests are important habitats for wildlife.
D．Different trees can absorb CO2 differently.
（2）What can we say about McDowell's research？
A．Timely and long-standing.
B．All-sided and careful.
C．Time-limited and regional.
D．Traditional and extensive.
（3）What's Kristina's attitude towards the findings of the research？
A．Worried.
B．Optimistic.
C．Supportive.
D．Indifferent.
（4）What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage？
A．To call on people to plant more trees.
B．To discuss the influence of climate change.
C．To warn against the loss of old growth forests.
D．To compare forests of today with those of the future.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6 -

15．Over the next 50 years，we are going to send more and better robots to Mars. （1）
There is a limit to what robots can tell us，though，so eventually we will have to send people to study the planet.
Before people can visit Mars，we need to invent a spaceship that can take us there. （2）Depending on where Mars and Earth are in their orbits around the sun，it could take between six months and a year to get there.
The moon is much closer，and we were there many years ago.Over the next 10 years，we are going to work on building a new spacecraft. （3）
Once we return to the moon，we are going to build a station so that people can live and work on the moon for months at a time.This is important so that we have a place to start from when we want to visit Mars. （4）
By the time you are old enough to be an astronaut，we will have people spending months on the moon.By the time you are old enough to be a commander of a space mission，we will be taking trips to Mars.By the time your kids are old enough to be astronauts，we may have people living on Mars.Wouldn't it be cool to get a postcard from someone who was building a house on Mars？ （5）
A．Mars is very faraway.
B．People will go to live on Mars one day.
C．Wouldn't it be cooler if it was you who sent the postcard？
D．Using this craft，we will practice the skills we need to go to Mars.
E．Those robots will send back better pictures，maps，and weather reports.
F．It would be possible for us to go to Mars in a spacecraft in the near future.

A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day.As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank，he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car.He tried again and again but couldn't get the car moving.Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried.Arthur stopped and asked， "It looks like you've got a problem."
"I'm afraid so.I'm in a big hurry and I can't start my car."
"Is there something I can do to help？" Arthur asked.The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said， "Thanks.If you're sure it wouldn't be too much trouble，you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi."
"No trouble at all.I'd be glad to help."
The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat.After placing it on the ground，he turned to get the other one.Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking，he heard the loud noise of an alarm.
It was from the bank.There had been a robbery!
Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before.Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions.Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank.People asked each other， "What happened？" But everyone had a different answer.
Arthur，still carrying the suitcase，turned to look at the bank and walked right into the young woman in front of him.
She looked at the suitcase and then at him.Arthur was surprised. "Why is she looking at me like that？" He thought."The suitcase!She thinks I'm the bank thief！"
Arthur looked around at the crowd of people.He became frightened，and without another thought，he started to run.
Paragraph 1：
As he was running，Arthur heard the young man shouting behind， "Stop，stop！"____________________
