The social media trap of comparing yourself to others can lead to feelings of confusion and jealousy. That was certainly true for Lizzie Velasquez. “I will look at everyone’s photos and feel horrible about myself,” Velasquez says. “So I have made a rule for myself. If I’m on social media, when I start feeling like I’m falling down the rabbit hole of comparison, I have to stop.”
Feeling pressure from the Internet is nothing new for Velasquez. When she was just 17, a video calling her “The World’s Ugliest Woman” became popular on YouTube. It was a difficult period for her. “I suffered from a rare disease which doesn’t allow me to gain weight and also affects my eyes, my bones and my heart,” explains Velasquez.
Growing up, Velasquez said she lived in two different worlds. At home, her family treated her just like everyone else. Her parents raised her to appreciate herself. But that got harder when she started school. “I didn’t become aware of it until I started kindergarten, because I was entering this other world where I had to face the reality,” says Velasquez.
As Velasquez got into high school, she started to gain more understanding about her condition. But then came the YouTube video, which threatened her already-shaky foundation. Though it was difficult, that moment of bullying(霸凌)inspired Velasquez to use her newfound platform for good. She wanted to stop this behavior. Then she gave a talk about her story, reaching millions with her uplifting messages about beauty. And she gave interviews on national talk shows and was featured in the documentary film A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story. “I want to remind people that no matter how different you are and no matter what people say about you, you are meant to be in this world and being different is unique,” says Velasquez.
24．Where did Velasquez’s teenage pressure mainly come from
A．Her tense relationships with her parents. B．Others’ criticism of her appearance.
C．Others’ concern about her disease. D．Her popularity on social media.
25．How can we describe Lizzie Velasquez
A．Brave and inspiring. B．Talented and confident.
C．Sociable and popular. D．Caring and warm-hearted.
26．What did Velasquez do to fight online bullying
A．Avoid using social media for a while.
B．Call on people to talk directly with the bullies.
C．Encourage the young to improve their taste in beauty.
D．Speak out against the behavior by sharing her experiences.
27．What does the author mainly tell us in the text
A．The negative effects of online bullying.
B．A girl’s message about beauty and happiness.
C．The public’s attitude to online bullying among teenagers.
D．A story of turning pain into power against online bullying.

After a day’s labor, Andreas Fichtner and his colleagues have spliced (绞接) together three segments of fibers, creating a 12.5-kilometer-long fiber-optic (光学的) cable. It will stay buried in the snow to spy on the activity of Grfmsvotn, a dangerous, glacier-covered volcano.
Fichtner, a geophysicist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich, is one of the researchers using fiber optics to take the pulse of our planet. Much of their work is done in remote places, from the tops of volcanoes to the bottoms of seas, where traditional monitoring is too costly or difficult.
The technique used by Fichtner’s team is called distributed acoustic sensing, or DAS. “It’s almost like radar in the fiber,” says the physicist Giuseppe Marra of the United Kingdom’s National Physical Laboratory, in Teddington. While radar uses reflected radio waves to locate objects, DAS uses reflected light to detect events as varied as earthquake activity and moving traffic, and to determine where they occurred. Inside the cables are optical fibers. DAS involves shooting quick pulses of laser light down the fiber and detecting bits of light that scatter back to the laser source due to disturbances in the environment. When the earth’s surface vibrates and shifts, it pulls the cables, so a detector can identify these small changes.
The New York Times points out that although wireless and satellite technology are booming, good old-fashioned cables are still the most efficient way to send information across oceans. Repurposing cables could give scientists the ability to monitor high-risk zones that were previously hard to reach. They could help detect earthquakes and tsunamis a few seconds earlier than traditional warning systems.
In addition, fiber-optic cables could also help solve some of the biggest challenges for humans. In the recent years, scientists have started to use them to measure ocean waves and access fault (断层) information. It is believed that fiber-optic cables will serve to benefit us greatly in the future.
28．What is the purpose of the work of Fichtner’s team
A．To track volcanic activities. B．To strike oil under the sea.
C．To lengthen fiber-optic cables. D．To keep fibers covered in the snow.
29．What can we learn about the technique of DAS
A．It determines when and where disasters occurs.
B．It uses radio waves to locate moving objects.
C．It improves the efficiency of transmitting light.
D．It detects tiny variation of the earth’s surface.
30．What does the underlined expression “Repurposing cables” probably mean
A．Recycling cables in new fields. B．Adapting cables for a new function.
C．Installing cables beneath volcanoes. D．Promoting cables into massive production.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．DAS Is Feeling the Heartbeat of Volcanoes
B．Satellite Technology Is Booming in Our Times
C．Underground Cables Are Taking the Planet’s Pulse
D．Fiber-optic Cables Are Giving Us Insights into Earthquakes
D
Along Route 1, in Thomas-tomatines a store filled with handicrafts—birdhouses and dollhouses, salad bowls and sailing ships — all made in Maine state prisons. Ted and Barbara Waylayer have been shopping here for decades. “We found the quality to be excellent,” said Ted.
Prisoners have been making things in Maine since the 1800s. Charlie Jones came here when he was 20, sentenced to 75 years in a state where there is no parole(假释). In the workshops, he discovered he had a talent for carving. One of Jones’ earlier projects was a golden eagle, which he learned to carve from a book.
“It’s amazing to see the amount of talent that the residents have here,”said Randall Liberty, commissioner(局长)of Maine’s Department of Corrections.“We have more than 100 residents working here daily. They do about US $1.6 million worth of work. “One of Maine’s programs allows residents to earn a college degree. The money for it was donated by Doris Buffet, who lived in Dockland, Maine. “She gave us an initial US $2 million donation,” said Liberty. “And that’s the best money I’ve ever seen invested in anyone.”
Charlie Jones is one of the graduates. “The college program is incredible,” Jones laughed. “When we used to walk to dinner, we could hear people talking about their former crimes. But now when going to dinner, you’ll hear somebody talking about their philosophy class or their history class.”
Liberty said, “The individuals that graduate have about a 5% recidivism(再犯) rate, as opposed to a 60-65% nationally. That means 95% of the people who go through this program don’t go back.”
When Doris Buffet died in 2020, Charlie Jones made a table, with legs made of books, to honor her. It’s also carved with the names of courses open to prison residents, and the professors who teach them. On the table was a book telling Daris Buffet’s story, and a thank you note.
32．What does paragraph 2 tell us about Charlie Jones
A．He has a gift for carving. B．He has earned a master degree.
C．He is only expert in carving eagles. D．He has been in prison for about 20 years.
33．Why did Charlie Jones say those words in paragraph 4
A．To show how the prisoners tried to reform.
B．To reveal what led those like Charlie Jones to prison.
C．To list some courses included in the college program.
D．To highlight the positive effect of the college program.
34．What can we learn from paragraph 5
A．Prisoners in Maine create little value.
B．Few prisoners in Maine are hardworking.
C．The handicrafts made in Maine state prisons are of high quality.
D．Prisoners graduating from college have a lower recidivism rate.
35．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A．How Doris Buffet died in 2020.
B．What the table made by Charlie Jones is like.
C．Charlie Jones’ sorrow over the death of Doris Buffet.
D．Why there was a book telling Doris Buffet’s story on the table.

How to Build a Better Breakfast
We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that may actually be true. A study found that breakfast eaters were more likely to lose weight than those who didn't eat a morning meal. ___36___ But it's not just when you eat; it's what you eat. These tips will help you really rise and shine:
1. Eat even if you're not hungry.
Although you might not feel like eating first thing in the morning, it's a good idea to get something into your system. Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump-start your metabolism（新陈代谢）and keep you from getting hungry later. ___37___
2. Be boring.
Changing what you eat is a good idea in theory, but if you are watching your weight, you might want to stick with the same old menu. People who allowed their breakfast calories to change have larger waists（腰围）and a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome（代谢综合征）than folks who keep their morning calorie intake constant, no matter how much they eat the rest of the day. ___38___
3. Add peanuts or peanut butter.
By eating peanuts or peanut butter, the carbohydrates(碳水化合物）are taken in more slowly and blood sugar does not rise as high. ___39___ So they are less likely to snack later.
4. ___40___
There's an old saying that advises ''Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. " It's worth following. Those who eat a balanced 700-calorie breakfast over a 12-week period lower their blood sugar and blood pressure twice more than people who eat a 200-calorie meal. They also lose an average of 19.2 pounds and have lower levels of ghrelin, the "hunger hormone（激素）.
A．Go big.
B．Pile on the produce.
C．Other studies link skipping breakfast with a higher risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）.
D．So it's worth making the effort to hold it steady.
E．It could set you up for overeating throughout the day.
F．Just a banana will do the trick.
G．Plus women feel fuller for up to 12 hours after eating the peanut butter or peanuts.

It was a fantastic and cheery early summer day. The sun was shining brilliantly, with clouds dancing in the blue sky. The birds were singing merrily and the colourful flowers were in full bloom. There was a warm gentle breeze. Bright green leaves swung in the wind, occasionally falling to the ground, cast off from the trees they trusted.
It was a lovely morning to be outdoors, to enjoy oneself in the splendid beauty of nature. There’s nothing quite as curative as being out in nature. Little Bear hated being locked at home. He wanted to go out to relieve his boredom. While his mother was busy with the daily domestic tasks, Little Bear slipped out through the backdoor. He was so eager for independence that he ignored his parents’ words and raced off into the woods near his home on his own.
As he jogged along the winding path from his home, Little Bear felt like an adventurer. Soon, the stone path ended and he found himself in the forest. He had never been so far from home all by himself. As Little Bear explored the plants of different colors in the abundant green forest, the fear of being alone in the great outdoors began to wear off. He immediately began to regret his careless decision to escape from his parents.
By afternoon, the sun was burning hot. Little Bear was weak from hunger and thirst. He felt tired and hungry. He longed for his mother’s cooking. He longed for his nice cosy bed. He longed to go home. Little Bear scanned the surroundings. Everything looked unfamiliar to him. He was lost! There was not a soul in sight from whom he could ask for directions. Little Bear sat on a rock, alone and depressed. Looking down, all he could see were his little paw prints imprinted in the mud.
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。
An idea suddenly came into Little Bear’s mind.

Before long, he saw his familiar wooden cottage.

They can do many difficult jobs like analyzing data and translating documents. They make fewer mistakes than humans and they don’t get tired.
W: What dangerous jobs can robots do
M: Robots can work in the areas that cannot be reached by humans. For example, in Japan, robots have already been used in rescue work. Robots can even go in space to do scientific work.
W: What if we are completely replaced by robots
M: I don’t think that’s very likely. Some jobs will never be completely taken over by robots, such as teaching and acting. I think we should take the opportunity to learn new skills and view robots as partners.
W: I agree.

C．By awarding those who ride bikes.
【答案】17．C 18．C 19．A 20．B
【原文】W: Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo “Nice Ride” —the name of the city's bike-share program. Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota's largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city's many bike paths. The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Increasing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to travel by bike. Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program with 70.000 bikes is in Wuhan, China. To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the US Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes called green ways.

The social media trap of comparing yourself to others can lead to feelings of confusion and jealousy. That was certainly true for Lizzie Velasquez. “I will look at everyone’s photos and feel horrible about myself,” Velasquez says. “So I have made a rule for myself. If I’m on social media, when I start feeling like I’m falling down the rabbit hole of comparison, I have to stop.”
Feeling pressure from the Internet is nothing new for Velasquez. When she was just 17, a video calling her “The World’s Ugliest Woman” became popular on YouTube. It was a difficult period for her. “I suffered from a rare disease which doesn’t allow me to gain weight and also affects my eyes, my bones and my heart,” explains Velasquez.
Growing up, Velasquez said she lived in two different worlds. At home, her family treated her just like everyone else. Her parents raised her to appreciate herself. But that got harder when she started school. “I didn’t become aware of it until I started kindergarten, because I was entering this other world where I had to face the reality,” says Velasquez.
As Velasquez got into high school, she started to gain more understanding about her condition. But then came the YouTube video, which threatened her already-shaky foundation. Though it was difficult, that moment of bullying(霸凌)inspired Velasquez to use her newfound platform for good. She wanted to stop this behavior. Then she gave a talk about her story, reaching millions with her uplifting messages about beauty. And she gave interviews on national talk shows and was featured in the documentary film A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story. “I want to remind people that no matter how different you are and no matter what people say about you, you are meant to be in this world and being different is unique,” says Velasquez.
24．Where did Velasquez’s teenage pressure mainly come from
A．Her tense relationships with her parents. B．Others’ criticism of her appearance.
C．Others’ concern about her disease. D．Her popularity on social media.
25．How can we describe Lizzie Velasquez
A．Brave and inspiring. B．Talented and confident.
C．Sociable and popular. D．Caring and warm-hearted.
26．What did Velasquez do to fight online bullying
A．Avoid using social media for a while.
B．Call on people to talk directly with the bullies.
C．Encourage the young to improve their taste in beauty.
D．Speak out against the behavior by sharing her experiences.
27．What does the author mainly tell us in the text
A．The negative effects of online bullying.
B．A girl’s message about beauty and happiness.
C．The public’s attitude to online bullying among teenagers.
D．A story of turning pain into power against online bullying.
【答案】24．B 25．A 26．D 27．D

24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Feeling pressure from the Internet is nothing new for Velasquez. When she was just 17, a video calling her “The World’s Ugliest Woman” became popular on YouTube. It was a difficult period for her. (感受到来自互联网的压力对Velasquez来说并不是什么新鲜事。当她只有17岁时，一段称她为‘世界上最丑陋的女人’的视频在YouTube上流行起来。对她来说，这是一个艰难的时期。)”和第四段第一、二句“As Velasquez got into high school, she started to gain more understanding about her condition. But then came the YouTube video, which threatened her already-shaky foundation. (随着Velasquez进入高中，她开始对自己的状况有了更多的了解。但随后出现了YouTube视频，这威胁到她已经摇摇欲坠的根基。)”可知，别人对Velasquez外貌的批评是她青少年时期主要的压力来源。故选B。
25．推理判断题。根据第四段第三句一直到段末“Though it was difficult, that moment of bullying(霸凌)inspired Velasquez to use her newfound platform for good. She wanted to stop this behavior. Then she gave a talk about her story, reaching millions with her uplifting messages about beauty. And she gave interviews on national talk shows and was featured in the documentary film A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story. “I want to remind people that no matter how different you are and no matter what people say about you, you are meant to be in this world and being different is unique,” says Velasquez.(虽然这很困难，但霸凌的那一刻激发了Velasquez利用她新发现的平台做好的事情。她想阻止这种行为。然后，她发表了一个关于她的故事的演讲，用她关于美的令人振奋的信息吸引了数百万人。她在全国脱口秀节目中接受了采访，并在纪录片《勇敢的心：Velasquez的故事》中亮相。‘我想提醒人们，无论你多么不同，无论人们对你怎么说，你注定要在这个世界上，与众不同是独一无二的，’Velasquez说。)”可知，Velasquez勇敢面对生活的挑战，并激励他人接受自己的不同，积极地去生活。故选A。

(虽然这很困难，但霸凌的那一刻激发了Velasquez要把新发现的平台用于好的方面。)”可知Velasquez经历了网络霸凌，但是她勇敢地面对。再结合文章第四段提到的她为了呼吁反对网络霸凌所做的努力可知，全文介绍了Velasquez由于经历网络霸凌继而倡导反对网络霸凌的故事。故选D。
C
After a day’s labor, Andreas Fichtner and his colleagues have spliced (绞接) together three segments of fibers, creating a 12.5-kilometer-long fiber-optic (光学的) cable. It will stay buried in the snow to spy on the activity of Grfmsvotn, a dangerous, glacier-covered volcano.
Fichtner, a geophysicist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich, is one of the researchers using fiber optics to take the pulse of our planet. Much of their work is done in remote places, from the tops of volcanoes to the bottoms of seas, where traditional monitoring is too costly or difficult.
The technique used by Fichtner’s team is called distributed acoustic sensing, or DAS. “It’s almost like radar in the fiber,” says the physicist Giuseppe Marra of the United Kingdom’s National Physical Laboratory, in Teddington. While radar uses reflected radio waves to locate objects, DAS uses reflected light to detect events as varied as earthquake activity and moving traffic, and to determine where they occurred. Inside the cables are optical fibers. DAS involves shooting quick pulses of laser light down the fiber and detecting bits of light that scatter back to the laser source due to disturbances in the environment. When the earth’s surface vibrates and shifts, it pulls the cables, so a detector can identify these small changes.
The New York Times points out that although wireless and satellite technology are booming, good old-fashioned cables are still the most efficient way to send information across oceans. Repurposing cables could give scientists the ability to monitor high-risk zones that were previously hard to reach. They could help detect earthquakes and tsunamis a few seconds earlier than traditional warning systems.
In addition, fiber-optic cables could also help solve some of the biggest challenges for humans. In the recent years, scientists have started to use them to measure ocean waves and access fault (断层) information. It is believed that fiber-optic cables will serve to benefit us greatly in the future.
28．What is the purpose of the work of Fichtner’s team
A．To track volcanic activities. B．To strike oil under the sea.
C．To lengthen fiber-optic cables. D．To keep fibers covered in the snow.
29．What can we learn about the technique of DAS
A．It determines when and where disasters occurs.
B．It uses radio waves to locate moving objects.
C．It improves the efficiency of transmitting light.
D．It detects tiny variation of the earth’s surface.
30．What does the underlined expression “Repurposing cables” probably mean
A．Recycling cables in new fields. B．Adapting cables for a new function.
C．Installing cables beneath volcanoes. D．Promoting cables into massive production.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．DAS Is Feeling the Heartbeat of Volcanoes
B．Satellite Technology Is Booming in Our Times
C．Underground Cables Are Taking the Planet’s Pulse
D．Fiber-optic Cables Are Giving Us Insights into Earthquakes
【答案】28．A 29．D 30．B 31．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲的是地下电缆正在测量地球的脉搏以及光纤电缆在将来会给我们带来很大的好处。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“After a day’s labor, Andreas Fichtner and his colleagues have spliced (绞接) together three segments of fibers, creating a 12.5-kilometer-long fiber-optic (光学的)cable. It will stay buried in the snow to spy on the activity of Grfmsvotn, a dangerous, glacier-covered volcano.”（经过一天的劳动，Andreas Fichtner和他的同事们将三段纤维拼接在一起，形成了一根12.5公里长的光纤电缆。它将被埋在雪中，监视Grfmsvotn火山的活动，这是一座危险的冰川覆盖的火山。）可知，Fichtner团队工作的目的是追踪火山活动。故选A项。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“DAS involves shooting quick pulses of laser light down the fiber and detecting bits of light that scatter back to the laser source due to disturbances in the environment. When the earth’s surface vibrates and shifts, it pulls the cables, so a detector can identify these small changes.”（DAS包括沿光纤发射快速激光脉冲，并检测由于环境干扰而散射回激光源的光位。当地球表面振动和移动时，它会拉动电缆，所以探测器可以识别这些微小的变化。）可知，我们可以从DAS技术中了解到它能探测到地球表面的微小变化。故选D项。
30．词义猜测题。根据第四段中“The New York Times points out that although wireless and satellite technology are booming, good old-fashioned cables are still the most efficient way to send information across oceans.”（《纽约时报》指出，尽管无线和卫星技术正在蓬勃发展，但老式的电缆仍然是跨越海洋发送信息的最有效方式。）提出老式的电缆仍然是跨越海洋发送信息的最有效方式，以及划线单词句中的“…could give scientists the ability to monitor high-risk zones that were previously hard to reach.”（可以使科学家能够监测以前难以到达的高风险地区。）可猜测，划线单词Repurposing cables为“重新调整电缆用途”，结合选项B项Adapting cables for a new function“为新功能改造电缆”意思一致。故选B项。
31．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“Fichtner, a geophysicist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich, is one of the researchers using fiber optics to take the pulse of our planet. Much of their work is done in remote places, from the tops of volcanoes to the bottoms of seas, where traditional monitoring is too costly or difficult.”（Fichtner是苏黎世瑞士联邦理工学院的地球物理学家，他是使用光纤测量地球脉动的研究人员之一。他们的大部分工作是在偏远的地方完成的，从火山顶部到海底，传统的监测太昂贵或太困难。）和最后一段“In addition, fiber-optic cables could also help solve some of the biggest challenges for humans. In the recent years, scientists have started to use them to measure ocean waves and access fault information. It is believed that fiber-optic cables will serve to benefit us greatly in the future.”（此外，光纤电缆还可以帮助解决人类面临的一些最大挑战。近年来，科学家们已经开始使用它们来测量海浪和获取故障信息。人们相信光纤电缆在将来会给我们带来很大的好处。）可知，文章主要讲的是地下电缆正在测量地球的脉搏以及光纤电缆在将来会给我们带来很大的好处。故文章最好的标题是“地下电缆正在测量地球的脉搏”。故选C项。
D
Along Route 1, in Thomas-tomatines a store filled with handicrafts—birdhouses and dollhouses, salad bowls and sailing ships — all made in Maine state prisons. Ted and Barbara Waylayer have been shopping here for decades. “We found the quality to be excellent,” said Ted.
Prisoners have been making things in Maine since the 1800s. Charlie Jones came here when he was 20, sentenced to 75 years in a state where there is no parole(假释). In the workshops, he discovered he had a talent for carving. One of Jones’ earlier projects was a golden eagle, which he learned to carve from a book.
“It’s amazing to see the amount of talent that the residents have here,”said Randall Liberty, commissioner(局长)of Maine’s Department of Corrections.“We have more than 100 residents working here daily. They do about US $1.6 million worth of work. “One of Maine’s programs allows residents to earn a college degree. The money for it was donated by Doris Buffet, who lived in Dockland, Maine. “She gave us an initial US $2 million donation,” said Liberty. “And that’s the best money I’ve ever seen invested in anyone.”
Charlie Jones is one of the graduates. “The college program is incredible,” Jones laughed. “When we used to walk to dinner, we could hear people talking about their former crimes. But now when going to dinner, you’ll hear somebody talking about their philosophy class or their history class.”
Liberty said, “The individuals that graduate have about a 5% recidivism(再犯) rate, as opposed to a 60-65% nationally. That means 95% of the people who go through this program don’t go back.”
When Doris Buffet died in 2020, Charlie Jones made a table, with legs made of books, to honor her. It’s also carved with the names of courses open to prison residents, and the professors who teach them. On the table was a book telling Daris Buffet’s story, and a thank you note.
32．What does paragraph 2 tell us about Charlie Jones
A．He has a gift for carving. B．He has earned a master degree.
C．He is only expert in carving eagles. D．He has been in prison for about 20 years.
33．Why did Charlie Jones say those words in paragraph 4
A．To show how the prisoners tried to reform.
B．To reveal what led those like Charlie Jones to prison.
C．To list some courses included in the college program.
D．To highlight the positive effect of the college program.
34．What can we learn from paragraph 5
A．Prisoners in Maine create little value.
B．Few prisoners in Maine are hardworking.
C．The handicrafts made in Maine state prisons are of high quality.
D．Prisoners graduating from college have a lower recidivism rate.
35．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A．How Doris Buffet died in 2020.
B．What the table made by Charlie Jones is like.
C．Charlie Jones’ sorrow over the death of Doris Buffet.
D．Why there was a book telling Doris Buffet’s story on the table.
【答案】32．A 33．D 34．D 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是在缅因州（Maine）监狱的一项计划，允许囚犯接受教育，在这所监狱中很多有才华的人制造出各种各样的手工艺品，这一计划使得该监狱受过教育的囚犯再犯的几率下降。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the workshops, he discovered he had a talent for carving.(在工作坊里， 他发现自己有雕刻的天赋。)”可知，Jones发现了自己在雕刻方面的天赋。故选A项。
33．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The college program is incredible.(大学计划令人难以置信。)”和“When we used to walk to dinner, we could hear people talking about their former crimes. But now when going to dinner, you’ll hear somebody talking about their philosophy class or their history class.(当我们过去步行去吃饭时，我们可以听到人们谈论他们以前的罪行。但是现在去吃饭时，你会听到有人谈论他们的哲学课或历史课。)”可知，监狱的囚犯谈论的是学习方面的话题，对这一教育计划很满意，由此可推断，Charlie Jones所说的话强调了这一计划对人们的积极影响。故选D项。
34．细节理解题。根据第五段中“The individuals that graduate have about a 5% recidivism(再犯)rate, as opposed to a 60-65% nationally. That means 95% of the people who go through this program don’t go back.(毕业的个人有大约5%的累犯率，而全国为60-65%。这意味着95%参加该计划的人不会犯罪。)”可知，经历过这一教育计划的囚犯大部分不再会进入犯罪的行列，也就是再犯率降低。故选D项。
35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“It’s also carved with the names of courses open to prison residents, and the professors who teach them. On the table was a book telling Doris Buffett’s story, and a thank-you note.(它还刻有向监狱居民开放的课程名称，以及教授这些课程的教授。桌子上放着一本讲述多丽丝·巴菲特故事的书，还有一封感谢信。)”可知，此处是对Charlie Jones所雕刻的桌子进行的描写，所以该段主要告诉我们Charlie Jones所雕刻的桌子是什么样的。故选B项。

How to Build a Better Breakfast
We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that may actually be true. A study found that breakfast eaters were more likely to lose weight than those who didn't eat a morning meal. ___36___ But it's not just when you eat; it's what you eat. These tips will help you really rise and shine:
1. Eat even if you're not hungry.
Although you might not feel like eating first thing in the morning, it's a good idea to get something into your system. Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump-start your metabolism（新陈代谢）and keep you from getting hungry later. ___37___
2. Be boring.
Changing what you eat is a good idea in theory, but if you are watching your weight, you might want to stick with the same old menu. People who allowed their breakfast calories to change have larger waists（腰围）and a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome（代谢综合征）than folks who keep their morning calorie intake constant, no matter how much they eat the rest of the day. ___38___
3. Add peanuts or peanut butter.
By eating peanuts or peanut butter, the carbohydrates(碳水化合物）are taken in more slowly and blood sugar does not rise as high. ___39___ So they are less likely to snack later.
4. ___40___
There's an old saying that advises ''Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. " It's worth following. Those who eat a balanced 700-calorie breakfast over a 12-week period lower their blood sugar and blood pressure twice more than people who eat a 200-calorie meal. They also lose an average of 19.2 pounds and have lower levels of ghrelin, the "hunger hormone（激素）.
A．Go big.
B．Pile on the produce.
C．Other studies link skipping breakfast with a higher risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）.
D．So it's worth making the effort to hold it steady.
E．It could set you up for overeating throughout the day.
F．Just a banana will do the trick.
G．Plus women feel fuller for up to 12 hours after eating the peanut butter or peanuts.
【答案】36．C 37．F 38．D 39．G 40．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何吃一顿更好的早餐的几点建议。
36．根据空前的“A study found that breakfast eaters were more likely to lose weight than those who didn't eat a morning meal.可知，一项研究发现，吃早餐的人比不吃早餐的人更容易减肥，此处承接上文，讲的是不吃早餐的其他危害，故C项（其他研究表明，不吃早餐会增加患高血压、心脏病和2型糖尿病的风险）符合语境。
37．根据空前的“Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump-start your metabolism（新陈代谢）and keep you from getting hungry later.”可知，起床后90分钟内吃东西会加速你的新陈代谢，让你不会感到饿，此处补充说明，说的是关于吃的东西，故F项（一根香蕉就可以了）符合语境。
38．根据空前的“People who allowed their breakfast calories to change have larger waists（腰围）and a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome（代谢综合征）than folks who keep their morning calorie intake constant, no matter how much they eat the rest of the day.”可知，与那些保持早晨卡路里摄入量不变的人相比，那些不改变早餐卡路里摄入量的人腰围更大，患代谢综合征的几率也更高，不管他们接下来一天吃了多少，此处总结上文，故D项（所以努力保持稳定是值得的）符合语境。
39．根据空后的“So they are less likely to snack later.”可知，所以她们以后不太可能吃零食，此处解释原因，故G项（此外，女性在食用花生酱或花生后，会感到长达12小时的饱腹感）符合语境。
40．根据本段内容，特别是第一句“There's an old saying that advises ''Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. "”可知，早餐要像国王一样吃，午餐要像王子一样吃，晚餐要像乞丐一样吃”，再结合后面的对比可知，本段讲的是早餐要吃就吃好，故A项（做大点）符合语境。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。短文介绍了22岁的比利时选手卢卡斯·德克斯（Lucas Deckers）上个月在第19届“汉语桥”外国大学生中文能力竞赛中获胜。自2002年启动以来，该比赛已成功举办19次，吸引了来自150多个国家的140多万名参赛者，展示他们的汉语技能和对中国文化和历史的了解。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：由于COVID-19的大流行，今年由教育部组织的年度比赛在网上进行。此处competition与organize之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语。故填organized。
57．考查名词。句意：然而，据主办方介绍，这些变化并没有影响外国学生学习汉语的热情，今年的比赛有数十万学生报名参加。空前“学生的”( students’)提示此空应为名词形式。故填 enthusiasm。
58．考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，据主办方介绍，这些变化并没有影响外国学生学习汉语的热情，今年的比赛有数十万学生报名参加。此空处于with复合结构中，动词使用非谓语形式，同时“学生”与“报名”( sign up)又是主动关系，所以用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填signing。
59．考查代词。句意：自2002年启动以来，该比赛已成功举办19次，吸引了来自150多个国家的140多万名参赛者，展示他们的汉语技能和对中国文化和历史的了解。空后的“启动”( (launch)为名词，提示此处应用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
60．考查副词。句意：自2002年启动以来，该比赛已成功举办19次，吸引了来自150多个国家的140多万名参赛者，展示他们的汉语技能和对中国文化和历史的了解。此处用副词修饰的是空后的动词“举办” (held)。故填successfully。
61．考查非谓语动词。句意：自2002年启动以来，该比赛已成功举办19次，吸引了来自150多个国家的140多万名参赛者，展示他们的汉语技能和对中国文化和历史的了解。用不定式作目的状语。故填to demonstrate。
62．考查介词。句意：德克斯说，赢得比赛不仅极大地增强了他的自信心，也给他进一步提高中文水平带来了压力。空前“压力"( pressure)应与介词on指配，表示“对……的压力”。故使用on。
63．考查定语从句关系代词。句意：德克斯还会说荷兰语、法语和英语，他18岁进入比利时鲁汶大学攻读汉学学位时就开始学习中文。此处为定语从句，修饰前面的Deckers，且非限制性定语从句缺少主语，所以使用关系代词who。故填who。
64．考查动词时态。句意：这就是吸引我来这里学习中文的原因。此句中的“一开始”( in the first place表明此处谈论的过去的动作，所以用一般过去时。故填 attracted。
65．考查冠词。句意：这就是吸引我来这里学习中文的原因。in the first place表示“一开始”，固定词组。故填the。

第二节 读后续写（共1小题，满分25分）
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。
It was a fantastic and cheery early summer day. The sun was shining brilliantly, with clouds dancing in the blue sky. The birds were singing merrily and the colourful flowers were in full bloom. There was a warm gentle breeze. Bright green leaves swung in the wind, occasionally falling to the ground, cast off from the trees they trusted.
It was a lovely morning to be outdoors, to enjoy oneself in the splendid beauty of nature. There’s nothing quite as curative as being out in nature. Little Bear hated being locked at home. He wanted to go out to relieve his boredom. While his mother was busy with the daily domestic tasks, Little Bear slipped out through the backdoor. He was so eager for independence that he ignored his parents’ words and raced off into the woods near his home on his own.
As he jogged along the winding path from his home, Little Bear felt like an adventurer. Soon, the stone path ended and he found himself in the forest. He had never been so far from home all by himself. As Little Bear explored the plants of different colors in the abundant green forest, the fear of being alone in the great outdoors began to wear off. He immediately began to regret his careless decision to escape from his parents.
By afternoon, the sun was burning hot. Little Bear was weak from hunger and thirst. He felt tired and hungry. He longed for his mother’s cooking. He longed for his nice cosy bed. He longed to go home. Little Bear scanned the surroundings. Everything looked unfamiliar to him. He was lost! There was not a soul in sight from whom he could ask for directions. Little Bear sat on a rock, alone and depressed. Looking down, all he could see were his little paw prints imprinted in the mud.
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。
An idea suddenly came into Little Bear’s mind.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before long, he saw his familiar wooden cottage.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
One possible version
An idea suddenly came into Little Bear’s mind. He jumped up and followed his trail of paw prints, knowing that they would lead him out of the forest. Although the walk was long and he was feeling weary, Little Bear forced himself to go on. Finally, he found himself back on the winding footpath. Little Bear knew that this meant he was close to home. He made a final rush, eager to get home quickly.
Before long, he saw his familiar wooden cottage. His mother was waiting outside with an anxious look on her face. Little Bear ran into the arms of his mother and hugged her tightly. He apologized for leaving the house without permission. Overwhelmed with relief that her son had returned safe and sound, his mother did not punish him. After the dangerous experience of getting lost in the forest, Little Bear knew that he would not dare to venture out alone again.
