第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Montreal has a unique culture with its mixture of French and English. If you want to visit one of the best cities in North America, this is the place for you.
The French
Most places in Canada are English-speaking, but Montreal is different. It is a city run by the French and for the French. If you want to work there, you have to speak French. The French and the English generally stay apart from each other. Most of the English can’t speak French and don’t want to learn; most of the French don’t like to speak English. However, it is this “conflict” of cultures that makes Montreal interesting.
Food
The best and unique Canadian food comes from the French. For example, you can find “poutine” - a tasty quick snack. This French invention is my personal favorite, although I must warn you that it isn’t for everyone. The best way to experience poutine is to go north of Montreal to one of the ski resorts. Spend all day skiing. Then, when your body aches all over, go to a mountain bar with friends and have a hot chocolate and a plate of poutine. You will understand why it’s the best food in the world.
Music & Cinema
Montreal is also great for music. There’s a famous jazz festival in the summer. You need a pass for most of the shows, which are usually performed outdoors during the day and night. But wherever you are in Montreal, you can hear the music while you are walking in the streets.
1. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A travel plan.
B. A travel brochure.
C. An encyclopedia.
D. A travel journal.
2. When will you enjoy poutine the most
A. After a day-long sightseeing.
B. After a tiring skiing experience.
C. When your body aches all over.
D. When you have a hot chocolate.
3. What is necessary if you intend to makea living in Montreal
A. Mastering skiing skills.
B. Favoring different cultures.
C. Understanding jazz music.
D. Communicating in French.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章推荐了适合旅游的城市——加拿大的蒙特利尔。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Montreal has a unique culture, with its mixture of French and English. If you want to visit one of the best cities in North America, this is the place for you.(蒙特利尔有着独特的文化，它融合了法语和英语。如果你想参观北美最好的城市之一，这是你的地方。)”以及文章黑体字“The French”，“Food”和“Music & Cinema”可知，文章取自于一本旅游手册。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的第三、四句“The best way to experience poutine is to go north of Montreal to one of the ski resorts. Spend all day skiing. Then, when your body aches all over, go to a mountain bar with friends and have a hot chocolate and a plate of poutine. (品尝poutine最好的方法是去蒙特利尔北部的一个滑雪胜地。整天滑雪。然后，当你全身疼痛时，和朋友一起去山上的酒吧，喝一杯热巧克力和一盘poutine。)”可知，你最享受poutine的时间是在一次疲惫的滑雪经历之后。故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的第二、三句“It is a city run by the French and for the French. If you want to work there, you have to speak French. (这是一座由法国人管理、为法国人服务的城市。如果你想在那里工作，你必须会说法语。)” 可知，想要在蒙特利尔谋生，就必须学会用法语交流。故选D项。
B
The white rhinoceros (犀牛) is near-threatened due to massive illegal hunting; the mountain gorilla (大猩猩) is classed as endangered due to great habitat destruction. If no action is taken, these amazing creatures will undoubtedly be extinct before the end of the century. But scientists are working hard to stop this with some pretty cool drone tech (无人机技术).
One of the biggest dangers to endangered animals in the modern day comes from illegal hunting, which claims the lives of hundreds of white rhinos every year. While regular patrols (巡逻队) can drive hunters away from certain areas, hunters are often well-armed and unafraid to fire upon those hoping to protect the rhinos. This is where drones come in. If researchers work in these areas, there would be a real danger of coming into contact with the hunters. By having drones collect data, movement patterns and numbers of animals, researchers can get away from such dangers.
Drones can also be sent into the skies above difficult-to-reach areas to get data that would otherwise be tough to collect. For example, mountain gorillas are usually found in deep jungle, and organising an exploration can be expensive and demanding. Researchers can send drones over the forest to gather data about the habitat of the animals, and even take high quality images. This information can be priceless when it comes to an on-foot exploration, as researchers can get up-to-date information. In this situation, human-led surveys will still offer better results, but drones can play a huge part.
The downside presently is the cost, which can run into tens, if not thousands, of dollars. However, drone tech is still becoming a more favorable choice in the fight against wildlife extinction.
4. What does the underlined word “claims”mean in Paragraph 2
A. Ends. B. Saves. C. Changes. D. Shortens.
5. How can the drone tech contribute to wildlife protection
A. It can gather useful information.
B. It can process important data.
C. It can drive away illegal hunters.
D. It can replace human-led surveys.
6. What might be the author’s attitude towards the drone tech
A. Critical. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. An application of drone tech.
B. An introduction to drone tech.
C. The terrible situation of wildlife.
D. The importance of wildlife protection.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。科学家利用无人机收集信息，帮助减缓濒危动物（如山地大猩猩和白犀牛）的减少。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段划线单词前的句子“One of the biggest dangers to endangered animals in the modern day comes from illegal hunting(现代濒危动物面临的最大威胁之一来自非法狩猎)”及划线单词后面的“the lives of hundreds of white rhinos(数百头白犀牛的生命)”可知，捕猎导致白犀牛的死亡，即结束他们的生命。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Drones can also be sent into the skies above difficult-to-reach areas to get data that would otherwise be tough to collect. (无人机还可以被派到难以到达的地区上空，以获取原本难以收集的数据。)”可知，无人机是通过收集数据来帮助保护野生动物的。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“However, drone tech is still becoming a more favorable choice in the fight against wildlife extinction.(然而，无人机技术仍然成为对抗野生动物灭绝的一个更有利的选择。)”可知，作者对无人机技术的态度是支持的。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的第二、三句“If no action is taken, these amazing creatures will undoubtedly be extinct before the end of the century. But scientists are working hard to stop this with some pretty cool drone tech.(如果不采取行动，这些神奇的生物无疑将在本世纪末灭绝。但科学家们正在努力用一些非常酷的无人机技术来阻止这种情况)”可知，文章主要介绍了无人机技术应用于野生动物的保护。故选A项。
C
During the COP27 climate conference (会议) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, an important deal on “loss and damage” was reached. This was a big step forward because at COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, there were no talks on loss and damage at all. The plan is that richer countries will pay money into a special fund that will be used to help poor countries.
Loss and damage means the damaging impact of climate change on developing countries. For nearly 30 years poorer countries have been asking richer countries for money to help to protect communities from the effects of climate change. Richer countries have produced the most greenhouse gases, but poorer countries are often the worst affected by extreme weather conditions because they are less well equipped to face extreme climate events.
Brazil’s newly elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made a speech about preserving the largest rainforest on Earth, the Amazon. During the last 50 years, more than 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed to make way for farms and towns. However, in his speech, Lula promised that there would be zero deforestation (伐树) in the Amazon by 2030. The conference didn’t just focus on world leaders. It brought together more than 45,000 people to discuss how climate change is affecting their lives. Climate refugees (难民) also had their voices heard. Tshilombo from the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya said, “Refugees don’t only flee because of war or conflict. It’s also about drought, the effects of climate change.”
Some countries weren’t happy with the overall outcome of COP27 because decisions weren’t made on cutting the use of fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and oil, etc. The UK Government’s Alok Sharma said, “I’m incredibly disappointed.”
However, this deal was a great achievement for developing countries. Sherry Rehman, the climate minister for Pakistan, said, “I am confident we have tuned a comer in how we work together to achieve climate goals.”
8. What is a successful outcome of the COP27 climate conference
A. The deal on loss and damage.
B. The deal on using fossil fuels.
C. The deal on rainforest preservation.
D. The deal on helping climate refugees.
9. What has made it difficult for developing countries to fight against climate change
A. More greenhouse gases.
B. Massive deforestation.
C. Shortage of money and supplies.
D. Terrible weather conditions.
10. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. Climate change is influencing people’s lives.
B. 17% of the Amazon rainforest was destroyed.
C. Many factors lead to the appearance of refugees.
D. There will be less deforestation in the Amazon by 2030.
11. What would Sherry Rehman probably agree with
A. Never put off till tomorrow.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Knowledge starts with practice.
D. No way is impossible to courage.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了在埃及沙姆沙伊赫举行的COP27气候大会就“损失和损害”达成了一项重要协议，该协议标志着在如何共同努力实现气候目标方面，我们已经迎来了一个转折点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“During the COP27 climate conference (会议) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, an important deal on ‘loss and damage’ was reached. This was a big step forward because at COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, there were no talks on loss and damage at all.(在埃及沙姆沙伊赫举行的COP27气候大会上，就“损失和损害”达成了一项重要协议。这是向前迈出的一大步，因为在苏格兰格拉斯哥举行的COP26会议上，根本没有关于损失和损害的讨论)”可知，COP27气候大会的成果是关于损失和损害的协议。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Loss and damage means the damaging impact of climate change on developing countries. For nearly 30 years, poorer countries have been asking richer countries for money to help to protect communities from the effects of climate change.(损失和损害是指气候变化对发展中国家的破坏性影响。近30年来，较贫穷的国家一直要求较富裕的国家提供资金，帮助保护社区免受气候变化的影响)”可知，较贫穷的发展中国家需要较富裕的国家提供资金来保护社区免受气候变化的影响，说明是资金和物资短缺让发展中国家难以应对气候变化。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Climate refugees (难民) also had their voices heard. Tshilombo from the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya said, “Refugees don’t only flee because of war or conflict. It’s also about drought, the effects of climate change.”(气候难民的声音也被听到了。肯尼亚卡库马难民营的奇伦博说：“难民不仅仅是因为战争或冲突而逃离。还有干旱，气候变化的影响”)”可推知，许多因素导致难民的出现。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Sherry Rehman的话“I am confident we have tuned a comer in how we work together to achieve climate goals.(我相信，在如何共同努力实现气候目标方面，我们已经取得了进展)”可知，Sherry Rehman认为通过共同努力，在实现气候目标方面已经取得了进展。由此推知Sherry Rehman会赞同“Many hands make light work.(众人拾柴火焰高 )”这一说法。故选B项。
D
When living or travelling internationally, we notice the differences between cultures before seeing the similarities. At first, some differences are easy to spot. Over time, however, there are some curious similarities between how people in the UK and China communicate. Indeed, international residents in both countries often complain about having to read what local people really mean, because it often differs from what is said.
In the UK, outsiders often get confused when they realise that a person making rude comments was actually showing love. In situations like this, context is everything. Likewise, in China, outsiders must infer most meaning from context and from what is not said, rather than from what is. Otherwise, misunderstandings happen.
The UK and China contexts share further cultural features, which greatly influence how people communicate, including the cultural trait (特点) of non-conflict. The British will do everything to avoid conflict. They wil probably tell the waiter it was lovely even when served with poor quality food. This cultural trait can cause major misunderstandings. For example, a British business partner who is deeply unhappy with your proposal will probably say “there are just a couple of small concerns,” rather than telling you that the entire proposal is unsatisfactory.
Chinese communication shows a very similar conflict prevention. Often challenges, errors, mistakes, or problems remain completely taboos (禁忌) as topics of discussion, even though everyone knows of their existence. Instead, people talk about working towards further goals or objectives, rather than directly admit that the current situation is far from satisfactory. Likewise, Chinese people like to keep a sense of harmony within all environments, and so avoid open criticism of each other. This is very similar to the way that a British person might tell you a colleague “is very confident” rather than that they are rude. In this sense, the British and Chinese can appreciate each other for harmony.
12. What does the author suggest in Paragraph 2
A. Polite comments are encouraged.
B. Learning what is not said is difficult.
C. Context is important in communication.
D. Misunderstandings often happen among outsiders.
13. What will the British and the Chinese probably both agree with
A. Talking over taboos in discussions.
B. Preventing misunderstandings in work.
C. Avoiding discussing one’s mistakes in public.
D. Making use of cultural traits in communication.
14. How does the author develop this passage
A. By using figures.
B. By making comparison.
C. By listing reasons.
D. By making classifications.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the passage
A. Cultural Context
B. Conflict Prevention
C. Cultural Differences
D. Communication Puzzles
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者通过比较具体的情境，认为中英两国容易出现交流难题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“In situations like this, context is everything. (在这种情况下，语境决定一切。)”可知，在交流中语境是非常重要的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Chinese communication shows a very similar conflict prevention. ( 中国的沟通也表现出非常相似的冲突预防。)”可知，中国人和英国人一致的观点是避免在公共场合讨论自己的错误。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段第三句“Over time, however, there are some curious similarities between how people in the UK and China communicate. (然而，随着时间的推移，英国人和中国人的交流方式有一些奇怪的相似之处。)”可知，作者通过比较中国人和英国人交流的方式来论证自己的观点，即作比较。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段最后一句“Indeed, international residents in both countries often complain about having to read what local people really mean, because it often differs from what is said.(事实上，居住在这两个国家的国际居民经常抱怨，他们必须理解当地人的真正意思，因为他们说的话往往不同。)”和第二段最后一句“ Otherwise, misunderstandings happen.(否则，误解就会发生。)”可知，本文讲了在中英两国中容易出现交流上的误解。D项“Communication Puzzles(沟通难题)”作为标题，可以概括全文主旨。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者通过联合国成功帮助埃及保护文化遗产之一的一些古老寺庙免遭洪水破坏的例子，说明如果一个问题对一个国家来说太具有挑战性时，国际社会可以发挥巨大作用。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：随着经济的发展，如何在进步和文化遗产保护之间取得平衡是一个很大的挑战。根据空前空后的名词“development”以及语境可知，空处用形容词修饰名词。with the economic development是常用表达，意为“随着经济的发展”。故填economic。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，伟大的解决方案往往来自挑战。根据空前 “solutions”和空后“arise from the challenges”可知，本句与上一句语意转折，用副词however“然而”。故填however。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在20世纪50年代，为了控制洪水并从尼罗河的水流中获得电力，埃及政府提出了一个横跨尼罗河的新大坝的建议。分析句子可知，本句有谓语made，故填非谓语动词， “a proposal to do sth.”是固定用法，意为“做某事的建议”，故用不定式作后置定语。故填to build。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这将导致水位上升到足以淹没埃及文化遗产之一的一些古老寺庙。分析句子可知，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a number of ancient temples，从句缺主语，先行词指物，该从句由关系代词which引导。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：因此，政府向联合国求助。结合句意，考查短语turn to sb. for help“向某人求助”。故填to。
【41题详解】
考查谓语动词时态语态。句意：后来，为了帮助埃及找到解决办法，一个国际委员被成立了。分析句子可知，本句缺谓语，结合语境，动作发生在过去，且establish与主语 an international committee之间是被动关系，因此谓语时态采用一般过去时的被动语态，主谓保持一致。故填was established。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：在国际社会的努力下，政府成功地将寺庙和其他文化遗址搬到了更高的地方。分析句子可知，空白处应用副词修饰动词moved。故填successfully。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：在国际社会的努力下，政府成功地将寺庙和其他文化遗址搬到了更高的地方。根据空前“a new”可知，空处填名词单数location“地点，位置”。故填location。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：该项目被联合国教科文组织认为是防止世界遗产消失的一个非常成功的例子。结合句意可知，考查短语prevent … from doing sth.“阻止……做某事”，故填动名词作宾语。故填disappearing。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：更重要的是，它的成功表明，如果一个问题似乎对一个国家来说太具有挑战性，国际社会可以发挥巨大作用。结合句意可知，考查短语make a difference“有影响，起作用”。故填a。

Kindness of Strangers
We depend upon a community where helping others is highly thought of. This helps form a web that holds us together in times of need.
Years ago, I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready when my fourteen-year-old daughter, Cassandra, called me from her room. “Mom, can you help me get downstairs ” She had lung disease and depended on oxygen twenty-four hours a day, so it was impossible for her to move up and down the stairs without help. I turned down the stove and ran upstairs to her room. Cassandra let out a sigh and closed her eyes. “Mom, I wish it wasn’t so hard for me to climb the stairs.”
“I know, honey. We’ll try to work something out.”
A month earlier, a company introduced an electric stairlift (座椅电梯) to us. It sounded wonderful. It would greatly improve my daughter’s life. Unluckily, we couldn’t afford it along with the medical bills although John, my husband, even took two jobs to support the family.
I asked the local organization for help once again. They had lent us a wheelchair and a shower chair; maybe they could help with a stairlift, too. I held my breath while the phone rang. “Do you have a stairlift I could borrow ” But they hadn’t.
A few weeks later, we bought a shower chair. Then we could return the borrowed one. I loaded it into my car and drove to the organization. As I got close to the gate of its building, I saw something looking like metal rails, and one of them had a chair attached.
I thought I was seeing things. I parked my car and got out to confirm it was real. I touched the cool metal of the rails and the soft cushion of the attached seat. There was even a remote control taped to a rail. It was a stairlift! I ran in to ask about it. A volunteer told me that someone left it here during the night. He added that a note was left on the stairlift, saying “For anyone who may need it.”
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。
“Can I take it away today ” I asked hopefully.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After John fixed the stairlift on our stairs, we shouted at Cassandra to try it out!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Can I take it away today ” I asked hopefully. “Of course, I mean if you really need it.” the volunteer replied. “Yes, yes. You know my daughter’s condition doesn’t allow her to move up and down stairs freely, which causes us great trouble. We really need this.” I said eagerly. After filling in an application and going through some other simple procedures, the stairlift was loaded in my car and waiting to go home. I was so excited that almost forgot to ask about who the donator was. The volunteer said, “Strangers.”, smiling.
After John fixed the stairlift on our stairs, we shouted at Cassandra to try it out! With a big smile on her face, Cassandra sat on the chair and switched it on. Slowly but steadily, the stairlift slid down, landing on the first floor safe and sound. Cassandra was more than happy, so did John and I. “Thanks mom and dad.” “It is the strangers who we are supposed to give our gratitude to, my dear.” I knelt down to hold her hands, “I don’t know who send this gift to us, but I’m sure they are really kind strangers”. “Yes, mon. I will never forget!”.
【解析】

第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Montreal has a unique culture, with its mixture of French and English. If you want to visit one of the best cities in North America, this is the place for you.
The French
Most places in Canada are English-speaking but Montreal is different. It is a city run by the French and for the French. If you want to work there, you have to speak French. The French and the English generally stay apart from each other. Most of the English can’t speak French and don’t want to learn; most of the French don’t like to speak English. However, it is this “conflict” of cultures that makes Montreal interesting.
Food
The best and unique Canadian food comes from the French. For example, you can find “poutine” - a tasty quick snack. This French invention is my personal favorite, although I must warn you that it isn’t for everyone. The best way to experience poutine is to go north of Montreal to one of the ski resorts. Spend all day skiing. Then, when your body aches all over, go to a mountain bar with friends and have a hot chocolate and a plate of poutine. You will understand why it’s the best food in the world.
Music & Cinema
Montreal is also great for music. There’s a famous jazz festival in the summer. You need a pass for most of the shows which are usually performed outdoors during the day and night. But wherever you are in Montreal, you can hear the music while you are walking in the streets.
1. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A travel plan.
B. A travel brochure.
C. An encyclopedia.
D. A travel journal.
2. When will you enjoy poutine the most
A. After a day-long sightseeing.
B. After a tiring skiing experience.
C. When your body aches all over.
D. When you have a hot chocolate.
3. What is necessary if you intend to makea living in Montreal
A. Mastering skiing skills.
B. Favoring different cultures.
C. Understanding jazz music.
D. Communicating in French.
B
The white rhinoceros (犀牛) is near-threatened due to massive illegal hunting; the mountain gorilla (大猩猩) is classed as endangered due to great habitat destruction. If no action is taken, these amazing creatures will undoubtedly be extinct before the end of the century. But scientists are working hard to stop this with some pretty cool drone tech (无人机技术).
One of the biggest dangers to endangered animals in the modern day comes from illegal hunting, which claims the lives of hundreds of white rhinos every year. While regular patrols (巡逻队) can drive hunters away from certain areas, hunters are often well-armed and unafraid to fire upon those hoping to protect the rhinos. This is where drones come in. If researchers work in these areas, there would be a real danger of coming into contact with the hunters. By having drones collect data, movement patterns and numbers of animals, researchers can get away from such dangers.
Drones can also be sent into the skies above difficult-to-reach areas to get data that would otherwise be tough to collect. For example, mountain gorillas are usually found in deep jungle, and organising an exploration can be expensive and demanding. Researchers can send drones over the forest to gather data about the habitat of the animals, and even take high quality images. This information can be priceless when it comes to an on-foot exploration, as researchers can get up-to-date information. In this situation, human-led surveys will still offer better results, but drones can play a huge part.
The downside presently is the cost, which can run into tens, if not thousands, of dollars. However, drone tech is still becoming a more favorable choice in the fight against wildlife extinction.
4. What does the underlined word “claims”mean in Paragraph 2
A. Ends. B. Saves. C. Changes. D. Shortens.
5. How can the drone tech contribute to wildlife protection
A. It can gather useful information.
B. It can process important data.
C. It can drive away illegal hunters.
D. It can replace human-led surveys.
6. What might be the author’s attitude towards the drone tech
A. Critical. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. An application of drone tech.
B. An introduction to drone tech.
C. The terrible situation of wildlife.
D The importance of wildlife protection.
C
During the COP27 climate conference (会议) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, an important deal on “loss and damage” was reached. This was a big step forward because at COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, there were no talks on loss and damage at all. The plan is that richer countries will pay money into a special fund that will be used to help poor countries.
Loss and damage means the damaging impact of climate change on developing countries. For nearly 30 years, poorer countries have been asking richer countries for money to help to protect communities from the effects of climate change. Richer countries have produced the most greenhouse gases, but poorer countries are often the worst affected by extreme weather conditions because they are less well equipped to face extreme climate events.
Brazil’s newly elected President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made a speech about preserving the largest rainforest on Earth, the Amazon. During the last 50 years, more than 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed to make way for farms and towns. However, in his speech, Lula promised that there would be zero deforestation (伐树) in the Amazon by 2030. The conference didn’t just focus on world leaders. It brought together more than 45,000 people to discuss how climate change is affecting their lives. Climate refugees (难民) also had their voices heard. Tshilombo from the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya said, “Refugees don’t only flee because of war or conflict. It’s also about drought, the effects of climate change.”
Some countries weren’t happy with the overall outcome of COP27 because decisions weren’t made on cutting the use of fossil fuels, such as coal, gas and oil, etc. The UK Government’s Alok Sharma said, “I’m incredibly disappointed.”
However, this deal was a great achievement for developing countries. Sherry Rehman, the climate minister for Pakistan, said, “I am confident we have tuned a comer in how we work together to achieve climate goals.”
8. What is a successful outcome of the COP27 climate conference
A. The deal on loss and damage.
B. The deal on using fossil fuels.
C. The deal on rainforest preservation.
D. The deal on helping climate refugees.
9. What has made it difficult for developing countries to fight against climate change
A. More greenhouse gases.
B. Massive deforestation.
C. Shortage of money and supplies.
D. Terrible weather conditions.
10. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. Climate change is influencing people’s lives.
B. 17% of the Amazon rainforest was destroyed.
C. Many factors lead to the appearance of refugees.
D. There will be less deforestation in the Amazon by 2030.
11. What would Sherry Rehman probably agree with
A. Never put off till tomorrow.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Knowledge starts with practice.
D. No way is impossible to courage.
D
When living or travelling internationally, we notice the differences between cultures before seeing the similarities. At first, some differences are easy to spot. Over time, however, there are some curious similarities between how people in the UK and China communicate. Indeed, international residents in both countries often complain about having to read what local people really mean, because it often differs from what is said.
In the UK, outsiders often get confused when they realise that a person making rude comments was actually showing love. In situations like this, context is everything. Likewise, in China, outsiders must infer most meaning from context and from what is not said, rather than from what is. Otherwise, misunderstandings happen.
The UK and China contexts share further cultural features, which greatly influence how people communicate, including the cultural trait (特点) of non-conflict. The British will do everything to avoid conflict. They wil probably tell the waiter it was lovely even when served with poor quality food. This cultural trait can cause major misunderstandings. For example, a British business partner who is deeply unhappy with your proposal will probably say “there are just a couple of small concerns,” rather than telling you that the entire proposal is unsatisfactory.
Chinese communication shows a very similar conflict prevention. Often challenges, errors, mistakes, or problems remain completely taboos (禁忌) as topics of discussion, even though everyone knows of their existence. Instead, people talk about working towards further goals or objectives, rather than directly admit that the current situation is far from satisfactory. Likewise, Chinese people like to keep a sense of harmony within all environments, and so avoid open criticism of each other. This is very similar to the way that a British person might tell you a colleague “is very confident” rather than that they are rude. In this sense, the British and Chinese can appreciate each other for harmony.
12. What does the author suggest in Paragraph 2
A. Polite comments are encouraged.
B. Learning what is not said is difficult.
C. Context is important in communication.
D. Misunderstandings often happen among outsiders.
13. What will the British and the Chinese probably both agree with
A. Talking over taboos in discussions.
B. Preventing misunderstandings in work.
C. Avoiding discussing one’s mistakes in public.
D. Making use of cultural traits in communication.
14. How does the author develop this passage
A. By using figures.
B. By making comparison.
C. By listing reasons.
D. By making classifications.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the passage
A. Cultural Context
B. Conflict Prevention
C. Cultural Differences
D. Communication Puzzles

47. 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。
Kindness of Strangers
We depend upon a community where helping others is highly thought of. This helps form a web that holds us together in times of need.
Years ago, I was in the kitchen getting dinner ready when my fourteen-year-old daughter, Cassandra, called me from her room. “Mom, can you help me get downstairs ” She had lung disease and depended on oxygen twenty-four hours a day, so it was impossible for her to move up and down the stairs without help. I turned down the stove and ran upstairs to her room. Cassandra let out a sigh and closed her eyes. “Mom, I wish it wasn’t so hard for me to climb the stairs.”
“I know, honey. We’ll try to work something out.”
A month earlier, a company introduced an electric stairlift (座椅电梯) to us. It sounded wonderful. It would greatly improve my daughter’s life. Unluckily, we couldn’t afford it along with the medical bills although John, my husband, even took two jobs to support the family.
I asked the local organization for help once again. They had lent us a wheelchair and a shower chair; maybe they could help with a stairlift, too. I held my breath while the phone rang. “Do you have a stairlift I could borrow ” But they hadn’t.
A few weeks later, we bought a shower chair. Then we could return the borrowed one. I loaded it into my car and drove to the organization. As I got close to the gate of its building, I saw something looking like metal rails, and one of them had a chair attached.
I thought I was seeing things. I parked my car and got out to confirm it was real. I touched the cool metal of the rails and the soft cushion of the attached seat. There was even a remote control taped to a rail. It was a stairlift! I ran in to ask about it. A volunteer told me that someone left it here during the night. He added that a note was left on the stairlift, saying “For anyone who may need it.”
注意：
1.续写词数应150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Can I take it away today ” I asked hopefully.

After John fixed the stairlift on our stairs, we shouted at Cassandra to try it out!
