Paris, best-known as the city of love, is also the city of book lovers! Here are four literary landmarks you should not miss.
Brasserie Lipp
151 Boulevard Saint-Germain
This brasserie has long been a popular bar for creatives. In its early days it was popular among actors from a nearby theatre group called Vieux-Colombier. Later, writers came in droves. Marcellin Cazes, who took over ownership in 1918, created the literary prize Prix Cazes to reward authors not successful in literary competitions before. It has been staged annually since it began in 1935.
Boquinistes
Right Bank and Left Bank of the River Seine
The boquinistes are riverside booksellers who have been around since the 16th century. These booksellers began as somewhat lawless figures, disliked by the authorities as they were able to get around the censorship (审查) rules. In the mid-19th century they were granted licenses to sell books, and now they are a major sight along the Seine. They feature on France’s list of intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage.
Père Lachaise
8 Boulevard de Menilmontant
When it first opened, this cemetery was not a popular burial spot. It was some way away from the city centre and it had not been blessed by the church. In a marketing ploy, the cemetery acquired the remains of some notable literary figures. In decades, the cemetery had become the final resting place of many writers, including Balzac and Gertrude Stein.
Le Procope
13 Rue de l’Ancienne Comédie
Le Procope was opened in 1686 by Sicilian chef Francesco and is still on business. Located across the road from a theatre, it became a hotspot for actors, playwrights and poets. Voltaire was said to drink 40 cups of coffee a day while he worked at a table at the cafe.
21. Who was the prize Prix Cazes intended for?
A. Notable literary figures. B. Actors from Vieux-Colombier.
C. Booksellers on the Seine. D. Losers in literary competition.
22. What makes Boquinistes distinctive?
A. Their popularity among creatives. B. A perfect option for book shoppers.
C. Being intangible cultural heritage. D. Playwrights and poets’ favour.
23. Of the four literary landmarks, which can not be a consumption spot for visitors?
A. Brasserie Lipp B. Boquinistes
C. Père Lachaise D. Le Procope
B
Paul O’Sullivan lounged around his Baltimore apartment one evening in 2014, feeling bored. So, like many others, he logged on to Facebook to find out just how many others on the social network shared his name. Moments later, dozens of name twins from around the world filled his screen. On a whim, he decided to send friend requests to them all.
Many of his fellow Paul O’Sullivans ignored him, but a few felt too curious to pass up his invitation. As Baltimore Paul scrolled through the other Paul O’Sullivans’ profiles, he noticed something four of them had in common: They were all musicians. Like Baltimore Paul, Rotterdam Paul sang and played guitar. Another Paul in Manchester, England, played bass. And Paul from Pennsylvania was a drummer. Baltimore Paul had an idea. Wouldn’t it be funny, he asked the other musical Pauls, if they formed a band called The Paul O’Sullivans? Yes, they all agreed,
Starting a band across multiple time zones proved to be tricky. Shaky Wi-Fi and other technical difficulties meant they were often out of sync. And being even half a second off from one another wrecked their sound. To fix this, they created a sort of musical assembly line. Baltimore Paul and Rotterdam Paul wrote and recorded a basic track, then e-mailed it to Manchester Paul.
“I listen to the song over a few days,” says Manchester Paul, to get a feel for what bass arrangement seems most appropriate.“ Once he recorded a bass track, he e-mailed it back to Baltimore Paul, who then built it into the main song. Later, Pennsylvania Paul added the drumbeat. Round and round the track went, with each member adding on his own layer until they achieved the sound they want.
The Paul O’Sullivan Band released its first original song, “Namesake”, in March2016, which was about long-distance relationships. And when COVID-19 slowly shutdown the world, the Pauls didn’t miss a beat. After all, the band had already got the hang of remote work. They used their time during the pandemic to record their first EP.
Titled Internet Famous: A Retrospective, it was released last April.
“What are the odds,” says Baltimore Paul, “that a random Facebook request would lead not only to new music but to lasting friendships as well?” “Some things are just meant to be.”
24. How can the four Paul O’Sullivans be distinguished?
A．By the musical instruments they play.
B．By their e-mail addresses.
C．By the musical styles they like.
D．By the place they come from.
25. What does “this” refer to in paragraph three?
A．The inaccessibility of Wi-Fi.
B．The existence of technical barriers.
C．Their being in different time zones.
D．Their lack of experience.
26. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph five?
A．The band had to pause because of the pandemic.
B．They got inspired and composed original songs.
C．The whole world was badly destroyed by COVID-19.
D．The band continued to work in spite of the pandemic.
27. What can be the best title for the article?
A．Banding Together B．A Random Facebook Request
C．Long-distance Friendships D．A Pure Coincidence
C
Though researchers have long known that adults build unconscious (无意识的) preferences over a lifetime of making choices between things that are essentially the same, the new finding that even babies engage in this phenomenon demonstrates that this way of justifying choice is intuitive (凭直觉的) and somehow fundamental to the human experience.
“The act of making a choice changes how we feel about our options,” said Alex Silver, a Johns Hopkins researcher. “Even infants who are really just at the start of making choices for themselves have this preference.”
The findings are published today in the journal Psychological Science. People assume they choose things that they like. But research suggests that’s sometimes backwards: we like things because we choose them. And, we dislike things that we don’t choose. “Adults make these inferences unconsciously,” said co-author Lisa Feigenson, a Johns Hopkins scientist in child development. “We justify our choice after the fact.”
This makes sense for adults in a consumer culture who must make random choices every day, between everything from toothpaste brands to styles of jeans. The question was when exactly people start doing this. So they turned to babies, who don’t get many choices so, as Feigenson puts it, are “a perfect window into the origin of this tendency.”
The team brought 10-to 20-month-old babies into the lab and gave them a choice of objects to play with; two equally bright and colorful soft blocks. They set them far apart, so the babies had to crawl to one or the other — a random choice. After the baby chose one of the toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick from the toy they didn’t play with the first time, or a brand new toy. Their choices showed they “dis-prefer the unchosen object.”
To continue studying the evolution of choice in babies, the lab will next look at the idea of “choice overload.” For adults, choice is good, but too many choices can be a problem, so the lab will try to determine if that is also true for babies.
28. What is people’s assumption about the act of making choices?
A. They like what they choose. B. They choose what they like.
C. They base choices on the fact. D. They make choices thoughtfully.
29. Why were babies selected as subjects for the study?
A. To help them make better choices.
B. To guide them to perceive the world.
C. To track the root of making random choices.
D. To deepen the understanding of a consumer culture.
30. What does the study on the babies show?
A. They like novel objects.
B. Their choices are mostly based on colors.
C. Their random choices become preferences.
D. They are unable to make choices for themselves.
31. What will the following study focus on?
A. The law of “choice overload”.
B. The problem of adults’ many choices.
C. Why too many choices can influence adults.
D. Whether babies are troubled with many choices.
D
A moment occurs in the exchange between professor and student when each of us adopts a look. My look says, “What, you don’t understand?” Theirs says, “We don’t. And we think you’re making it up.” We are having a problem. Basically, we’ve all read the same story, but we haven’t used the same analytical approaches. It may seem at times as if the professor is inventing interpretations out of thin air.
Actually, the truth is that as the slightly more experienced reader, the professor has acquired over the years the use of a certain “language reading”. Besides, he has grasped three professional tools-memory, symbol and pattern. These items separate the professional readers from the ordinary ones.
English professors are cursed with memory. When reading a new book, I constantly seek out connections and inferences, recalling faces and themes from past readings. I can’t not do it, although there are plenty of times when that ability is not something I want to exercise. This does not necessarily improve the experience of popular entertainment.
Professors also read and think symbolically. Everything is a symbol of something, it seems, until proven otherwise. We ask: What does the thing over there represent? The kind of mind that works its way through undergraduate and then graduatees in literature and criticism tends to see things as existing in themselves while also representing something else. This tendency to understand the world in symbolic terms is enhanced by years of training and rewards the symbolic imagination.
A related phenomenon in professorial reading is pattern recognition. Most professional students of literature learn to take in the specific detail while seeing the patterns that the detail reveals. Experience has proved to them that life and books fall into similar patterns. Literature is full of patterns, and your reading experience will be much more rewarding when you can step back from the work, even while you are reading it, and look for those patterns.
32. How does the author introduce the topic?
A．By describing a real-life scene. B．By using popular quotes.
C．By presenting conflicting ideas. D．By raising an interesting question.
33. Why do the students think the professor is making up interpretations?
A．They have limited life experience.
B．They lack chances for sufficient reading.
C．They are unable to analyze the text thoroughly.
D．They do not trust the professor’s teaching abilities.
34. What does paragraph 3 say about English professors?
A．They have a strong desire to not have their good memory.
B．Their reading habit doesn’t always guarantee desirable effects.
C．Their memory adds to their reading pleasure of popular works.
D．They keep making connections with their own life while reading.
35. Which is the author’s suggestion on reading literature?
A．Identify the hidden text modes.
B．Perceive many things at the same time.
C．Look for details and language patterns.
D．Memorize patterns of symbolic meanings.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What is heritage? The word can be difficult to define. Heritage is always something that is passed down by families or other groups for many years. __36__ It can also be the customs, traditions, and values shared by groups of people. One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups. These are the tangible (有形的) cultural heritage, the natural heritage, and the intangible cultural heritage.
__37__ They can include many human-made objects that hold cultural value. Some examples are national monuments and works of art. Many ancient sites are also part of this group. On a smaller scale, a family home can be part of an individual’s heritage.
Many parts of the natural world are also important to heritage. They can include bodies of water, plant life, land forms and more. One example is the Nile River. __38__ Efforts to protect natural heritage are key in many cultures.
The intangible group includes any part of cultural heritage that you can’t feel through touch. Maybe you’ve read about forms of dance, like flamenco. You might know about the music of mariachi bands. These are all examples of intangible cultural heritage. __39__
Exploring your own heritage can be fun. It can help you learn about yourself, your family, and your ancestors. But it’s also important to learn about the heritage of others. __40__ It can also lead you to find things you may have in common with others!
A. They are treasures that can be touched.
B. What tangible items can be part of heritage?
C. However, heritage isn’t limited to concrete objects.
D. Languages, holidays and customs also make the list.
E. Therefore, it’s difficult to protect them from fading away.
F. Doing so can help you build a stronger understanding of other cultures.
G. It has been part of heritage in many African nations for centuries.

Yesterday, after arriving in Madrid, I knocked on a stranger’s door. “I searched on the website. Will you give me 41 ?” I asked. This was the reason I’d come to Spain, because I once believed I 42 be a female flamenco (弗拉门戈) guitarist and I have a mission now.
Forty-five years ago, when I was two, my father also came to Madrid and knocked on strangers’ doors. As a well-knownical guitarist, he admired flamenco a lot, and in Spain he learned from anyone willing to teach him. He 43 performers in bars, made friends with street 44 and managed to study with Paco de Lucia, the greatest flamenco guitarist of our time.
I started playingical guitar when I was five. My father s hands 45 across the strings like fireworks. I practiced while he 46 and criticized. I played till I had 47 pain in my fingertips. By age seven, I was called a child genius.
Then, at 11, I quit. Heartbroken, my father 48 himself. Guiltily, I followed suit. Soon we spoke only when necessary. Our relationship didn’t 49 until, in my early 20s, I found myself pulled back to guitar.
When I was in my early 30s, he died. I couldn’t bear to play his guitar. He’d spent so much time with his arms around that instrument, and it seemed a(n) 50 of his own body. Holding it gave my grief an unbearable tangibility (有形性). So for 13 years it sat mostly untouched, coming out only when my son Ellis begged to see it. He was 51 his grandfather’s instrument in a way that made me want to pass it down to him- both the guitar and the music. Problem was, I couldn’t really play anymore.
Now, Antonia is sitting with me in her living room, teaching me 52 . I have been here for only two days, and already my fingers 53 . It’s a sharp pain, like when a fallen-asleep limb (肢体) returns to 54 . The feeling 55 me. It means I’m doing something right.

67．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。
One of my teachers once asked my what our favourite memory was. She was asking for the moment in which "you felt the best, you felt that you had the world in the palm of your hand. "Some described grand awards; others described winning a tournament. But I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn't mind mymate's stares and snickering, because I knew there was more to the story.
My brother and I shared a typical brotherly relationship: we couldn't stand each other. Or, to be honest, he couldn't stand me. I hero-worshipped him. My clothes mysteriously looked like his, and even my words tended to mimic those I heard from him. Many times, I even wanted to literally follow my brother, sobbing every time I was prevented from hanging around with him. Needless to say, I was an annoyance to him. Any sort of conversation we had usually degraded to fighting, and try as I might, my brother usually won.
After a while, I stopped trying to impress him and learned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern—I avoided him, he ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. Indifferent or hostile, he was only a brother in name. So that's how it was between us. I believed we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received it that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom was too busy and had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me. I decided to teach myself to ride, a little bit each day, but in vain. On that fateful day, it was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture, and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para. 1. I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside.
