I know I wouldnt make for a very good mother. Its not that Id drop them or forget them at the grocery store or anything like that but theyre not a good fit for me and the life Ive created for myself. Id rather be in Cambodia kissing elephants or cage diving with sharks in Cape Town, or wandering the streets of Paris, a city that has become my second home, than trapped at home doing the mom thing.The itch to become a mother isnt in me but the itch to travel, and travel far and often, is.If the urge isnt there, I dont think its fair to live a life I dont want and have a baby because someone else thinks I should. That would be awful.I like children. To say I love them wouldnt be completely accurate. Its not because Im a monster the same monster people who feel women should have children will call me but I simply dont love them because Im not around them much. Very few of my friends have children, and the ones who do I dont see much because, well, they have children.I have two nephews in Colorado whom I love to pieces, but I dont see them very often. I dont go out there as often as I probably should because Id rather be traveling. Some people may call this selfish, but I call it “living my best life.”When I talk to my sister about my nephews, everything they do and say is exciting to her. The joy my sister feels by just playing with them in the yard is the same joy I feel every time I get off a plane in a new country. Id rather be on the beaches of Spain every summer while she prefers to spend her days at home with them, climbing trees and such. Im fulfilled one way, while shes fulfilled another way.Im very much certain that at this point in my life my greatest fulfillment comes in the form of traveling and being free of kids. I can go anywhere at anytime; I dont have to put my life on hold for someone else. Its complete and total freedom.25. What does the underlined word “itch” in Paragraph Two mean?A. tradition B. competence C. plan D. desire26. Why is the author regarded as a monster?A. Because she doesnt like kids. B. Because she doesnt want children.C. Because shes different from her friends. D. Because she rarely stays with children.27. Which is “living my best life” according to the author?A. To stay with her family. B. To see her nephews often.C. To visit a new country. D. To talk with her sister.28. What is the authors purpose of writing the passage?A. To explain her choice of life. B. To persuade people to travel.C. To share her happiness in life. D. To introduce a unique lifestyle.CAt this years Technology Forum, speakers include world-famous people, such as Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, and lesser-known individuals with great ideas to change the world. One of the latter is Jonny Cohen, a high school senior, green businessman and creator of GreenShields.Since Cohen was a child, he has been innovating and inventing. When he was 12 and took science classes at Northwestern University, he saw a school bus and had an idea: what if the shape of school bus was improved to make it more fuel efficient? This would greatly reduce the amount of pollution it produced. He set about making a wind tunnel in his parents garage and placed small metal plates or shields on toy school buses to test them. The result: his shields redirected the airflow over and around the bus, decreased wing drag, and produced better fuel economy and less pollution.Cohen went through various experiments to improve his GreenShields invention. With the help of MIT and Cook-Illinois Bus Company, which donated a full-sized bus for Cohens experiments, he now has a shield model that is inexpensive and easy to attach, enabling widespread adoption.How much of an impact can these shields have on climate change? Fuel consumption for the average US school bus is seven miles per gallon. GreenShields increases fuel efficiency by 10-20%, saving about $600 per bus per year, and costs only $30 to attach. Cohen and his partners are now trying to persuade the government to put GreenShields on all school buses.With almost half-a-million school buses in America using nearly $2.5 billion of fuel per year, a consumption reduction of 10-20% would make a big difference in pollution. Not to mention the roughly $285 million in annual savings on fuel.29. What can we learn about Jonny Cohen from the text?A. He has produced GreenShields independently.B. He has been employed to improve school buses.C. He is a world-famous businessman and inventor.D. He has a talent for finding and solving problems.30. Where did Cohen begin testing his shields?A. At Northwestern University.B. In his parents garage.C. At a local bus company.D. In an MIT lab.31. Whats the intended benefit of Cohens invention?A. To provide school buses with cheaper fuel.B. To reduce the cost of producing school buses.C. To increase the profits of the school bus industry.D. To make school buses more environmentally-friendly.DWe all know the feeling: looking at the computer screen, pretending to be interested in our homework, even though we really feel bored. But such feelings may soon be at an end, says Dr. Harry Witchel, head of the Essex Medical School. He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it.Before you get concerned, the machine wont be reading your mind. It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer. Its not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine 一 like moving a mouse or touching a screen but small, barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes，moving in your seat or rubbing your face. Witchel calls these “boredom movements and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching. The higher the interest level, the less movement!To test his theory, Witchel invited 27 people to perform various computer-based tasks. The activities ranged from playing online games (an interesting task) to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring.A special video camera followed the participants movements as they completed each task. Just as the researcher expected, the “boredom movements greatly decreased, by as much as 42%，when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing.Fortunately, DrWitchel isnt planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school. Instead, he wants “movement sensing” technology to be built into future computers in order to improve students computer-based learning experience.The scientist says that by measuring the students interest level as they work, educators will be able to adjust their materials in real-time to keep students focused. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future, help to develop more intelligent robots.32. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Homework. B. A computer. C. Boredom. D. The future.33. Why did DrWitchel carry out his research?A. To discover how bored people move.B. To find out what makes people bored.C. To see if interested people are more active.D. To test the link between boredom and movement.34. Which movement would Witchels technology most likely pay attention to?A. Turning off the machine.B. Typing words on a keyboard.C. Surfing quickly between webpages.D. Moving ones head from side to side.35. How will the new technology help education, according to Witchel?A. By reducing teachers workload.B. By maintaining students learning interest.C. By reporting students misbehavior in class.D. By making learning more like a computer game.第二节（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。Real-life Room Escape GamesReal-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles，find clues（线索），and escape the room within a set time limitThe games are based off Escape the Room video games，such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot，created by TAKAGISM Incby Toshimitsu Takagi in 2020，in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape（36） _ Other inspirations include adventure board games and moviesReal-life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States，Japan，and China（37） _ For example，some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations（38） _ Soon，they were exported to North America，Asia and AustraliaExamples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure RoomsThe games were so successful that new locations began opening up across China，in cities big and small，according to Want China TimesIn the southern city of Shenzhen，for example，the first escape game location opened last August（39） _ These real-life escape games can help those who stay at home on their computers and iPads all day to experience real social circles，Tian Xiaochuan，who owns two room escape game stores in Jinan，told Want China TimesEarlier this year，The South China Morning Post said the real-life escape games are a hit amonghighly stressed students and overworked young professionals（40） _ Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside theirprisons，as Zhu Yumeng，chief operating officer of Beijing room escape game store Taoquan told China DailyAEach game adds local themes to settingsBAnd seven new game locations quickly followedCThey should also be brave enough to face their fearsDSometimes the excitement becomes a bit much，thoughEWeekend or day event escape games have been held in some storesFPermanent real life escape games in a fixed location were first opened in EuropeGPlayers must be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room .第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。It goes without saying that everybody will feel surprised in his life.
