21、Do you experience worries that get stuck in your head? Do these thoughts come with physical symptoms such as restlessness, muscle tension, or a racing heart? 【1】

Your parents may help you move past anxiety by telling you “You don’t feel safe, but you are safe” and giving you space to experience discomfort and coming out the other side of it. 【2】 Many of these are the ones that you can apply in the moment without them being obvious to others.

● Practise mindful noticing. Mindfulness is the exercise of being aware in the moment and noticing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Practising mindfulness can help shift your focus away from anxious thoughts and toward self-regulation. Try focusing on an object in the environment and giving it all your attention. 【3】 The more details you point out, the more your brain will focus on that object instead of the anxious thoughts.

● 【4】 More demanding than simply counting in order, randomly picking numbers requires more attention. Again, this shifts attention away from anxiety-related thoughts and onto the task of reciting random numbers, which, though boring, do not cause anxiety.

● “Silence, Bruno!” 【5】 Recognizing an anxious thought for what it is can help put things in perspective and give one the chance to challenge the unhelpful thoughts. Disney’s 2021 film Luca delightfully demonstrates this skill. The character, Alberto, tells his friend Luca to quiet the doubt and fight against thoughts (Bruno) in his head by shouting, “Silence, Bruno!”

A．Recite numbers in order.

B．Count numbers randomly.

C．The best way is to talk back to anxiety.

D．If so, you may be suffering from anxiety.

E．The response is to look away from your anxiety.

F．And there are other techniques that can be helpful.

G．Do this by describing all the details of some object within your view.

22、Have you ever been into a cave? If not, please follow us and explore some of the most beautiful caves from around the world!

Marble Caves

Located in the center of Lake General Carrera, the Marble Caves in Chico, Chile, are only accessible by boat. The surrounding crystal clear waters allow visitors to see the rock formations beneath them while the rock ceilings above change color(depending on the writer levels and the season). The best time to visit: during sunrise and sunset, when the sun’s rays light up the cave walls, making it an experience to remember.

Reed Flute Cave

Reed F1ute Cave known as “the Palace of Natural Arts” is located in the northwest of Guilin in southern China.The limestone cave offers a grand fairyland of stalactites(钟乳石), stone pillars, stone curtains, birds, plants and animals in fantastic shapes and colors.

Fingal’s Cave

This incredible sea cave is located on the uninhabited island of Staffa in Scotland. The cave’s size, shape, and naturally—arched(拱形的) roof combine with the waves to create strange sounds that enhance its cathedral—like atmosphere.

The Blue Grotto

The Blue Grotto is the symbol of Capri. It is a sea cave found on the coast of the island and is a well-known spot to all who visit the area. This cave is unique for its brilliant blue light which comes from two sources: the entrance to the cave and a bigger hole beneath the entrance. When viewed from inside the cave, the entrance appears as a brilliant white light just above the waterline, while the underwater hole, which is the larger source of light, provides a blue light.

【1】Why is sunset the best time to visit Marble Caves?

A．Because it has enough light in it.

B．Because it has the most beautiful scenery.

C．Because it is surrounded by clear waters.

23、   During a visit to the United Arab Emirates, I was invited to speak to college students to learn more about how the country is preparing the next generation for the future. I met with students who were required to present their final projects in a three-minute presentation to members of the ruling family. Now, that is pressure. But learning the art of public speaking is no longer an option to succeed in the 21st century; it is fundamental.

Educators who I have met across the Middle East, Europe and Asia say that they are elevating the art of public speaking to a core requirement along with math and science. Chris Anderson, the curator (负责人) of TED, encourages schools in the United States to make “presentation literacy” a requirement in elementary schools. There is a wrinkle, however. According to an article in The Atlantic, some American middle-school and high-school students are advocating for the elimination (取消) of mandatory (强制的) in-class, presentations.

Their anxiety is real. Psychology professor Matthew Lieberman writes in book, “Our brains crave the positive evaluation of others almost to an embarrassing degree.” That’s why most of us get anxious about public speaking. Anxiety can turn into full-blown panic attacks or create lifelong fears.

As an author whose books are used in public speaking classes around the world, I will explain why public speaking skills are more important than ever. Persuasion — one person convincing another to change their mind — is now responsible for 25 percent of Americas total income, according to Deirdre McCloskey at the University of Illinois. The percentage will rise to 40 percent soon, she assured me. It is a terrible idea to reduce public speaking opportunities in class at a time when students need the skills it can give them to succeed. Today anyone who is better at presenting their ideas can see a sudden, massive increase in wealth that is unprecedented in human history.

In the age of ideas, public speaking is one of the greatest skills that students need in order to learn, grow, and inspire the rest of us to dream bigger. If students enjoy the process of building the necessary skill set, they will learn to love public speaking.

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A．Public speaking is essential in preparing for the future.

B．Students don’t have to choose the course of public speaking.

C．The ruling family plays a key role in judging the presentation.

D．College students are under pressure in preparing the introduction.

【2】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Simple case.

B．New idea.

C．Small problem.

D．Strong belief.

【3】Matthew Lieberman is telling us that ________.

A．we long for the positive judgment terribly

B．good public speaking skills can promote our confidence

C．we feel embarrassed when expecting positive evaluation

D．public speaking can make us feel scared rather than anxious

【4】Which of the following is the benefit of public speaking?

A．It can help persuade others to change their mind.

B．Good speakers can see huge rise in their income.

C．It will offer students skills to make a great success.

D．It encourages students to live a wealthy life in the future.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A．It scares students to make a speech publicly.

B．Presentations is a steppingstone for student’s future.

C．We can improve speaking skills in many effective ways.

D．Confidence in presentation increases if one is well prepared.

24、A 2,000-year-old fast-food stall (摊位) unearthed from the ashes of Pompeii has given researchers new clues about the snacking habits of the ancient Romans. The snack bar counter, decorated with multicolored patterns and frozen by volcanic ash, was partially unearthed last year but archaeologists extended work on the site to reveal it in its full glory.

Pompeii was buried in a sea of boiling lava when the volcano on nearby Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, killing between 2,000 and 15,000 people. Archaeologists continued to make discoveries there.

The team found duck bone pieces as well as the remains of pigs, goats, fish and snails in earthenware pots. Some of the ingredients had been cooked together like a Roman-era paella(什锦饭). Crushed fava beans(碎蚕豆), used to improve the taste of wine, were found at the bottom of one jar.

“The counter appears to have been closed in a hurry and abandoned by its owners, perhaps as the first noises of the eruption were felt,” said Massimo Osanna, director general at the Archaeological Park of Pompeii.

“A water tower and a fountain were found alongside human remains, including those of a man   believed to have been aged about 50 and discovered near a child’s bed. The remains of another person were also found and could be those of an opportunist thief or someone fleeing the eruption who was surprised by the burning steam just as he opened the pot,” Osanna said.

In the latest stage of their work, archaeologists uncovered a number of still-life scenes, including details about animals believed to have been on the menu, notably wild ducks and a chicken, for serving up with wine or hot drinks.

“As well as bearing witness to daily life in Pompeii, the possibilities to analyze that afforded by this stall are predictable because for the first time we have uncovered a site in its entirety,” Osanna said.

【1】What was found to be used by ancient Romans to make the wine tastier?

A．Steamed pork.

B．Duck bone pieces.

C．A Roman-era paella.

D．Crushed fava beans.

【2】What probably happened to the snack bar counter according to Massimo Osanna?

A．It was burnt by a little kid.

B．It was ruined by a flood.

C．It was shut down hurriedly.

D．It was broken into by animals.

【3】What does Massimo Osanna mainly stress at last?

A．The significance of discovering the stall.

B．The regret for the loss of the ancient city.

C．The barrier to bringing the site back to life.

D．The potential of recovering the hidden stall.

【4】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A Lost City Finds Its Way With the Help of a Stall

B．An Old Fast-food Stall Was Reopened to Customers

C．A Snack Bar Counter Was Destroyed by Volcanic Ash

D．An Unearthed Stall Throws Light on Roman Snacking Habits
