My parents took me camping to the Chilean Lake District every summer while growing up. Back then, before the internet, we had to 1 maps and guidebooks. So through the endless hours of our road trips, I kept myself 2 glancing at a map and reading about the small towns we passed. It was great fun.
During one trip, my dad 3 me about the Travelers Century Club(TCC), a group for people who have 4 100 or more of the world's countries. My eyes shone with the thought of being a member, and I made it my 5 .
It was not long before I started 6 to travel to another country. My parents laughed and offered a(n) 7 they'd take me to our neighbor Argentina, my first trip abroad, 8 I had to see more parts of my own country before I visited another 9 . I happily accepted.
What I immediately 10 is that—as much as I wanted to be part of the TCC—the main 11 for travel should center on what I'll get out of a trip, whether that's meeting locals, 12 the typical cuisine, or exploring nature. It shouldn't be just to 13 countries. Ticking countries off a list only because you put your feet there feels 14 to me. What inspires me the most to hit the road is 15 , which can feed my adventurous soul.

2、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。
The feeling like there's no point trying anything since nothing feels good anymore has a name: anhedonia. While anhedonia appears similar to boredom, it's distinct in that it's usually coupled with a loss of motivation to even give things a try. So what can be done to deal with it? Here's how you can bounce back from this joyless state of mind.
Keep a thought worksheet to investigate negative thinking. They might have negative views of themselves, combined with negative views of the world and of the future. Keeping a thought worksheet can help restructure the beliefs. Write about a situation that happened, the moods you felt, and the automatic thoughts you had. Then write down evidence that supports the automatic thought driving the moods, and evidence that does not support it. You're looking not only at the negative aspects, but the neutral(中立的)and positive aspects.
Keep a daily record of things you're grateful for. Listing simple things you're grateful for brings the forgotten positive aspects of our lives to the front of our mind. You may be grateful for having food on your plate, or having a pillow to rest your head on every night.
Try doing something you used to enjoy. It can be really discouraging to do things you usually love to do and find you no longer enjoy them. Take it easy. Instead of seeking enjoyment, focus on leaving the activity with a more neutral perspective, such as, 'I've done something to improve the way I feel.' Start with small, manageable bursts of time, such as spending 15 minutes watching a TV show or walking outside.
A. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones.
B. Sometimes, this state of mind becomes problematic.
C. Try approaching these activities with a different purpose.
D. Try to do this every day, even if you only write down one or two things.
E. People experiencing anhedonia often hold beliefs across three categories.
F. Engage in important social connections even if you don't feel like socializing.
G. In doing so, you are positioning yourself to review all the information your brain is receiving.

3、 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
For many in America, food waste is a way of life: a discarded(丢弃)apple here, a half-eaten dinner plate there. But just how much food do Americans waste, and why? A new research casts light on the dirty little habit that squanders over 30 percent of the country's food supply and costs $161. 6 billion a year, a habit driven in part by fear of food poisoning and a desire to eat only the freshest foods.
When public health researchers from Johns Hopkins University surveyed Americans about their feelings on food waste, they found that "Americans are pretty picky about what gets to stay in their fridges." The survey, which was conducted online and covered a nationally representative sample of 1,010 adults, asked questions about the things that motivate people to keep and throw out food from their fridges.
65 percent of respondents said they threw food out due to worries about food poisoning, while 60 percent said they only wanted to eat the freshest foods. A smaller amount(41 percent)reported that they composted(制堆肥)food, "so it doesn't bother me." Only 15 percent of respondents said they didn't have time to prevent food waste.
On the other hand, respondents seemed relatively motivated to waste less food—but not for the reasons you might think. People were most motivated to reduce food waste due to desires to save money. and manage their households efficiently. But regardless of the fact that food waste causes a significant environmental impact and only a small part of food waste is composted, less than half of respondents thought it was important to reduce food waste for environmental reasons.
Roni Neff, who leads the research, hopes the results will help educators, policymakers and businesses make changes—like highlighting the economic costs of food waste—that are actually likely to reduce waste. But perhaps the most effective strategy, writes Neff, could be clarifying messages about food safety and freshness so that Americans get less alarmed by the potential of food poisoning to begin with.
(1)、What does the underlined word "squanders" mean in the first paragraph?A、Wastes. B、Distributes. C、Maintains. D、Produces.(2)、What does the survey mainly focus on?A、Functions of fridges. B、Different eating habits. C、Reasons for food waste. D、Public health conditions.(3)、What motivated respondents most to cut down food waste?A、Enormous food waste. B、The desire to save money. C、Environmental awareness. D、The need to compost food.(4)、What does Neff suggest in the last paragraph?A、Pay more attention to food waste. B、Ignore the potential of food poisoning. C、Reduce the economic costs of food waste. D、Correct misconceptions about food safety and freshness. -
4、 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
Imagine living in a modern city. On any given morning, you might expect to look out your window and see a stream of cars and people on their way to work. In recent days, however, residents in Kunming. China—a city of some 6 million people—were preparing themselves for a more unusual sighting: a herd(群)of wild elephants.
Since March 2020, a group of 15 elephants has traveled more than 300 miles within Yunnan Province in China. They reportedly came within two miles of Kunming before turning around a few days ago. No one knows the reason why they left their home in Xishuangbanna Nature Reserve, but this long journey has brought much-needed public attention to the challenge facing Asian elephants.
Asian elephants range across 13 countries in South and Southeast Asia. And, sadly, they are endangered, with fewer than 50,000 left in the wild. And yet they are underrepresented on the global stage when their conservation needs are so urgent.
Living on the most thickly populated continent on the planet means that space is rare. It also means that habitat loss is the most significant threat facing Asian elephants. While illegal hunting also threatens these populations, human-elephant conflict resulting from habitat loss is a leading cause of elephant death in Asia. Elephants have significant space and resource needs and have been known to travel many miles a day in search of food and water. Today, on average, 70% of the Asian elephant population is found outside protected areas. This means they often travel through human-dominated landscapes and come into regular contact with people.
These interactions, or human-elephant conflicts, can result in crop and property damage. Most recently, the damage along the movement path of the elephant herd in China has amounted to losses of an estimated $
1.1 million. While these animals have been closely watched and protected by local authorities who have been successful to date at preventing injury or death to either people or the elephant herd, human-elephant conflict can result in human death and injury and cause retaliatory(报复性的)action that further reduces wild elephant populations.
(1)、What do we know about the 15 elephants?A、They attacked residents in Kunming. B、They draw public attention to their problem. C、They prefer a modern city to a nature reserve. D、They traveled more than 300 miles within Kunming.(2)、What is a major cause of the extinction of Asian elephants?A、Illegal hunting. B、Loss of habitat. C、Lack of protected areas. D、Ignored conservation needs.(3)、What have the local authorities been trying to do according to the last paragraph?A、Avoid human-elephant conflicts. B、Move the elephants to another region. C、Predict the results of human-elephant conflicts. D、Make up for the losses caused by the elephants.(4)、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A、Asian Elephants: An Endangered Species Rescued B、Urban Adventures of Elephants: A Taste of the City Life C、Wandering Elephants: A Conservation Challenge in Asia D、Elephant Sightings in Kunming: A City's Unusual Morning -
