AI’ve been taking time this week to smell the roses. Literally. I bend over in my neighbors’ front yard, check that nobody is watching, then bury my head in the flowers.I’ve also been walking into bakeries and walking around without buying anything.After having surgery on my broken nose 18 months ago, I haven’t been able to smell or taste things.This week, however, my nose is back in business.I’ve been overwhelmed by smells, and it’s given me a new way of thinking. Scent is just one of thelittle bits and pieces that make life enjoyable, but which we often ignore. I remember once, when my son was five months old, I was carrying him down the street. Wind swept through and almost tipped us over. He threw his little head back and giggled. He’d never felt the wind on his face. When is the last time I laughed at the weather?The first time I ate bacon, I rushed home to my parents, determined that we ate this deliciousness at every meal. My father smiled and agreed.Do you recall when you learned that the voice actors of Mickey and Minnie Mouse were married in real life? Do you enjoy sleeping in new clean bedsheets? Is there someone on the radio whose voice is as smooth as velvet (天鹅绒)?We don’t write postcards about the small things. We don’t frame them in photographs. They aren’t that great or grand, but without them, life is altogether too loud. These quiet experiences give us a chance to enjoy the simple fact of being alive.As my sense of smell returns to me, it’s like I’m smelling things for the first time. They’re full of memories and magic. Food tastes better, and the air is indeed sweet. I know what the poets mean now. It almost makes my broken nose worthwhile. Now, I am waiting for this bandage to come off. There’s an itch (痒) I can’t reach!21. With the first two paragraphs, the writer mainly tries to ______.A. discuss new ways on how to enjoy leisure timeB. show that she loves doing secret thingsC. give examples of how she kills timeD. get readers to wonder about her behavior22. By “a new way of thinking”, the author means ______.A. the ability to discover the joy of small thingsB. the habit of overcoming ignoranceC. the ability to fully use our limited attentionD. the habit of making personal reflections23. One small thing mentioned in the last paragraph is ______.A. a joyful memoryB. a quiet experienceC. the sense of smellD. the simple fact of being alive24. The tone of the story is ______.A. sadB. livelyC. seriousD. lonelyBWhat is a family? Why does it matter? What does it teach us that we can’t learn on our own? These questions seem especially relevant in the holiday season when it is often our tradition to gather as families and celebrate together.My mother was one of twelve children. As they grew up, married and had children of their own, most of them lived near enough to gather for holidays at my grandparents’ home in a small town in the mountains of North Carolina.I don’t recall getting many gifts from them. I remember the sense of belonging, of being part of something that assured me I was loved and not alone.I delighted in the laughing, playing and fighting with my crazy cousins.I watched my granddad and uncles sit on the porch (门廊), rain or shine, smoking and joking, arguing about politics and trying to solve the problems of the world.I listened to my grandmother, mother and aunts stir pots on the stove and talk about their lives, hopes, dreams and disappointments, and gossip about any sister who failed to show up.The food was always plentiful and delicious – country ham, sweet potatoes, green beans, biscuits and my grandmother’s banana pudding. But for me, the food was never the highlight. The highlig ht was simply being together. A family.However, they’re all gone now. My parents and grandparents, my aunts and uncles have leftthis world for the next. My cousins are scattered (分散) here and there. And yet the memories linger, along with the love that we shared.I treasure those memories and the things they taught me. They told me that families aren’t perfect, but they prepare us to find our way in an imperfect world. They made me realize that all families are crazy in their own particular ways.My husband and I are growing a new family, while keeping close to the surviving members of the families. It’s a beautiful mixture of kindness, traditions, nurturing and friendships, which grows year after year.I hope this holiday season will fill you with lovely memories of the family that raised you, and surround you with all the people who mean “family” to you now.25.

Concluding on Jan 29, Brazilian cities, including Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, hosted over 7 million visitors.The week-long celebration is a top spectacle (盛大的演出) featuring dazzling floats, skilled dancers and giant parades. Think of the ceremony on a similar scale to China’s National Day parade and you’re on the right lines.The epicenter (中心) of the event is the Sambadrome. It is a 700-meter-long stadium built specially for the carnival. Similar to a catwalk runway, the arena can seat 70,000 people. The parade is made up of the most elite (优秀的) samba (桑巴) schools in the region, who compete against each other to create the best costumes, well-designed dance routines and floats.These schools fight to be crowned carnival champions, by the judges on the final day of celebrations. This year the Gold Eagle samba school won the title for their 20-meter-high eagle float. Their dance routine and costumes also focused on the themes of power and community bonding.As well as the main parade, smaller street parties are often held all around Brazil’s other cities. Though not the main event, they are meant to be an open celebration for everyone and anyone to dress up, dance and listen to music into the early hours of the morning. But don’t think they’re small villagegatherings, as even these lesser celebrations can attract thousands.There is a significant history behind Brazil’s carnival. Carnival was origi nally an Ancient Egyptian festival to welcome spring and was later adopted by the Romans. They gave it a religious meaning, using it as a final celebration before the fasting (斋戒) for Lent – a Christian belief.Today, the carnival period is used to celebrate the cultural heritage of Brazil and other former European colonies. These include many Caribbean islands like Trinidad, as well as Quebec, Canada, certain Indian regions, and the US, where it is known as Mardi Gras. From small beginnings, the carnival has become an almost global celebration of culture and diversity.29. What do we know about Brazil’s carnival?A. It is a very large-scale festival.B. It is celebrated for two weeks.C. It originated in ancient Rome.D. It attracted over 10 million visitors this year.30. The Sambadrome is used for _______ during the carnival.A. parade participants to have a restB. sports eventsC. samba competitionsD. costume exhibitions31. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 5?A. To tell the historical story behind the carnival.B. To describe what the carnival’s street parties are like.C. To explain why street parties became the main event for the carnival.D. To point out how villages are different in celebrating the carnival.32. Why do people celebrate the carnival now?A. To welcome the start of spring.B. To promote Brazil’s cultural heritage.C. To strengthen Brazilians’ religious belief.D. To unite with countries around the world.DFever, coughing, sore throat ... most of us at one time or another have had these symptoms. What causes them?In fact, many diseases are caused by viruses, including some deadly ones like AIDS, SARS and COVID-19, also known as the novel coronavirus pneumonia, outbreak in China.What are viruses? How can viruses cause so much trouble? Viruses are very small particles (颗粒) which are about one millionth of an inch long. Unlike human cells or bacteria, viruses aren’t living organisms –they can’t reproduce on their own. Instead, they invade the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.Virus can infect every living thing – from plants and animal down to the smallest bacteria. For this reason, they are always a potential danger to humans.Viruses lie around our environment all of the time, waiting for a host cell to come along. They can enter our bodies by the nose, mouth, eyes or breaks in the skin. Once inside, they try to find a host cell to infect. For example, HIV, which causes AIDS, attacks the T-cells of the immune system.But the basic question is, where did viruses first come from? Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists. “Tracing the origins of viruses is difficult,” Ed Rybicki, a scientist at the university of Cape Town in South Africa, told Scientific American, “because viruses don’t leave fossils and because of the tricks they use to make copies of themselves within the cells they’ve invaded.”However, there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses. First, viruses started as independent organisms, then became parasites (寄生者). Second, viruses evolved from pieces of DNA (脱氧核糖核酸) or RNA (核糖核酸) that “escaped” from larger organisms. Third, viruses co-evolved with their host cells, which means they existed alongside these cells.For the time being, these are only theories. The technology and evidence we have today cannot be used to test these theories and identify the most plausible (看似合理的) explanation. Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers. Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.33. What can we learn about viruses from the text?A. Viruses have nothing to do with the common cold.B. Viruses are really small living organisms.C. Viruses can’t reproduce unless they find a host cell.D. Viruses enter our bodies mainly through our mouths, noses and hair.34. Which of the following might explain the origin of viruses?A. They evolved from the fossils of large organisms.B. They evolved from parasites to independent organisms.C. They evolved from the DNA of animals.D. They evolved along with their host cells.35. What can we conclude from the text?A. Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals’.B. Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.C. It may take a long time to understand the origin of viruses.D. The author is confident about future virus research.第二节（共5题；媒体2.5分，满分12.5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。
