According to the study posted onScienceDirect, gardening just two to three times a week increase the benefits of better well-being as much as possible and lower stress levels.

The research explored why residents engaged with gardening and the extent to which they recognized any health benefits from the activity.

A questionnaire was handed out electronically within theUK, with 5,766 gardeners and 249 non-gardeners responding. Data was collected on factors including garden typology（类型学）, frequency of gardening and individual awareness of health and well-being.

\"This is the first time the dose response（剂量效应）to gardening has been tested and the evidence from the survey strongly suggests that the more frequently you garden, the greaterthe health benefits,\" said Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) lead author Dr Lauriane Chalmin-Pui. In fact, gardening every day has the same positive impact on well-being than undertaking regular and powerful exercise like cycling or running.

When gardening, our brains are pleasantly entertained by nature around us. Gardening takes our attention away from ourselves and our stresses, therefore, it helps restore our minds and reduce unfavorable feelings.

Improving health, however, was not the main motive power to garden, but rather the direct pleasure gardening brought to the participants.

\"Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn't feel as exhausting and hard as going to the gym, for example, but we canexpendsimilar amounts of energy,\" Chalmin-Pui added.

Most people say they garden for pleasure and enjoyment, so people who like gardening may be easy to be

addicted to it. However, this sometimes may become a piece of good news, from the aspect of mental health. \"We hope all the millions of new gardeners will be getting their daily gardening and feeling all the better for it. \" Chalmin-Pui said in the interview.

4. What can be inferred about gardening from the survey? A. Improving health is the aim of the participants. BGardening makes no difference to health. C. Health benefits from frequent gardening. D. Too much gardening always does harm to health.

5. What does the underlined word \"expend\" mean in paragraph 7?

A. Consume. B. Make use of. C. Increase. D. Save. 6. Why do so many participantslike gardening?

A. It isn't exhausting. B. It is good for health. C. It brings pleasure. D. It is like going to the gym. 7. What is Chalmin-Pui's attitude to the new gardeners' gardening?

A. Carefree. B. Supportive C. Tolerant. D. Indifferent.

C

It was very cold and I had been watching a homeless man make himself comfortable in a “shelter” on the river bank. His “shelter” was a tarpaulin (油布)tied to rocks to keep the wind from blowing it away. He had been living there for over a month. I never saw him with warm clothing or food. I knew what I wanted to do.

When I told my parents what I wanted to do they werealarmed. They said I could be putting myself at risk, taking a box to a homeless person at night! But I knew, in my deep heart, that I would be safe.

I got a box. My parents watched as I added warm gloves, a heavy blanket ... into the box until it was full! Then, I put a Christmas card on top. It said, “Even though we hardly know each other, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!” I put ten one-dollar bills inside it as well.

My father insisted he went there with me as it was 10 pm on Christmas Eve. I said he could drive me but he had to stay in the car. He agreed.

I took the box and walked towards his “house”. I called, “Sir, I have a Christmas box for you!” “Go away!” he shouted. “Sir,” I repeated. “Go away!” he shouted.

“Why?” I asked him.

He walked over and I expected to see an angry face. Instead I saw two of the most beautiful, gentle, blue eyes I have ever seen.

“Merry Christmas!” I said.

“Why are you doing this?” he asked.

“Because you matter to me,” I said. With that I gave him the box.

Tears came to his eyes and he thanked me. I got back to the car and watched him carry the box like it was filled with gold. I didn’t want to embarrass (使困窘) him by watching him any more so Dad and I left. 8. The underlined word “alarmed” can best be replaced by _____. A. pleased B. worried C. disappointed D. surprised

9. Why did the author ask his father to stay in the car? A. Because he wanted to prove he was brave. B. Because he believed the homeless man was bad. C. Because he wanted to protect his father from being hurt. D. Because he didn’t want the homeless man to feel bad. 10. When the homeless man saw the author first, he was _____. A. quite angry B. very excited C. quite puzzled D. very curious

11. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to tell readers that _____. A. it is easier said than done B. poverty is the mother of health C. where there is a will, there is a way

D. a willing helper doesnot wait until he is asked

D

“Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water, the French writer Antoine de Rivarol wrote. This love letter to the cleansing beauty of a good cry is a comforting thought at atime when the continuing stress of the COVID-19 has added heaviness to each of our lives.

Scientifically, de Rivarol's poetic image doesn't, if you'll forgive the words used in the poem, hold water. There's limited research on crying, partly because of the difficulty of copying the behavior of real crying in a lab.

But even within the previous studies, there's little evidence to suggest that crying provides a physiological cleansing of poisons in people's body.

Psychologists believe the relief of a good cry connects with a different emotional process. “It seems that crying occurs just after the peak of the emotional experience, and crying is associated with this return to homeostasis: the process of maintaining a stable psychological state,” said Lauren Bylsma. He also said holding back tears can have negative physical consequences, including headaches and muscle tension. Such restriction can also limit our experiences of joy, gratitude and other positive emotions if we avoid acknowledging our feelings.

For me crying has been easier said than done during the COVID-19. Psychologists say it's normal to feel stopped up by the stresses of the past year. We should find opportunities to release and process our emotions.

Watching a tear-jerking movie, having an emotional conversation with a close friend, and writing in a journal are healthy ways toelicita cry. Physical activity like light-footed walking or even dancing can also signal our bodies to release some emotional tightness. We can then open up to the flow of feelings that leave us feeling lighter and refreshed—like a clear sky after a soaking rain. 12. What is the weakness of the studies ever clone on crying? A. They were clone in a laboratory setting. B. They cared little about different forms of crying. C. They were always concentrated on people's daily life. D. They showed little about the positive physical effect of crying. 13. What is the function of crying according to Lauren Bylsma?

A. Curing people of their diseases. B. Keeping emotionally balanced. C. Producing negative mental results. D. Expanding people's experience of joy. 14. What does the underlined word “elicit” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Produce. B. Postpone. C. Control. D. Repeat. 15. What are people advised to do according to the text? A. Learn to hold back their tears wisely. B. Share their emotion with their colleagues. C. Have a good cry when necessary. D. Try to avoid admitting our feelings.

Nowadays, it’s a common phenomena that parents drive their children to school, what I think is not proper. First, our parents’ driving us to school without doubt can increase their burden physical and financially. It’s waste of time and energy as well. What’s worst, it’s very likely to cause traffic jams if all parents drive their children to school. On the other hand, it can have some of us depend on parents all the time, which was not good for us to learn to be independence.

To conclude, I strongly advocate that our students go to school on foot or by bike, benefiting from our health and growth. Only in this way can we improve our abilities to overcoming problems on our own. 第二节书面表达（满分25分）

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I love parties. I love planning for them, making the invitations, planning the games and decorating my own cake. The only thing that I don't like is deciding on the guest list. When 1 was in grade school my mom would tell

me the maximum number of friends that I could invite and it was always a number too small for my list.

I also liked all different kinds of people. I never quite fit into one of the many little groups at my school, so I just kind of floated around, accumulating friends from various backgrounds. There was an “in\" crowd made up of the cool kids who had the power to rule the school-if a cool kid wore two different color1 ed socks to school one day, everyone thought it was great. But if an uncool kid did the same thing, the other kids would turn away in disgust（厌恶）.It made getting dressed in the morning a very scary thing.

Shannon was one of my friends who seemed to unknowingly break the rules of uncoolness\" all the time. I don't know why she was targeted, but people found it acceptable to make fun of her. Shannon was a nice girl and wore pretty clothes, but was somewhat overweight and didn't talk much. She was picked on a lot. Whenever there was an strange noise or smell in the classroom the kids would giggle（咯咯笑）and point at her. Shannon never said anything, but it made me feel sick inside. Shannon was innocent, I thought.

One year to celebrate my birthday, my mom told me I could have a party at our house. I struggled for days deciding on which girls to invite. Once I had chosen all the names, I made the invitations and handed them out to my friends at school.

“Why did you invite her?” asked one of my cool friends when it was discovered that I had invited Shannon. She pressured me to tell her not to come. There were other people I could add in her place who would be more acceptable.

注意:1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1：

Unsure what to do, I was put in a, difficult situation.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2：

Weeks later, Shannon suddenly called to thank me for inviting her to the party.
