Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think
4. Compared with ten years ago, what is worse for the author now
A. His job. B. His pay.

A. He got higher pay.
B. His working hours weren’t long.
C. He found it very stressful.
D. He had little free time at weekends.
6. After the author had a heart attack, the doctor advised him .

D. not to eat out any more
7. What can we learn about the author
A. The author is not sure what he should do now.
B. The author has taken the doctor’s advice.
C. The author has got another new job.
D The author feels much better now.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中的Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer.可知，然后，大约八年前，作者找到了一份更好的工作，工资更高了，但工作时间更长了。由此可知，“作者的工作时间不长”与原文不符。故选B。

A team of researchers conducted the first study to figure out how the time of nightly sleep early in the semester affects freshmen end-of-semester grade point average (GPA绩点). Using Fitbit sleep trackers, they found that students on average sleep 6.5 hours a night, but bad outcomes accumulate (增多) when students received less than 6 hours of sleep a night. The results can be found in the Feb. 13 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Sleep guidelines recommend teenagers get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. Many college students, however, experience irregular sleep.
David Creswell Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, led a team of researchers to evaluate the relationship between sleep and GPA. “Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory,” said Creswell. “Here we show how this work translates to humans. The less nightly sleep a first-year-university-student gets at the beginning of the school term predicts lower GPA at the end of the term. Lack of sleep may be hurting students’ ability to learn in their college classrooms.”
The study evaluated more than 600 first-year students across five studies at three universities. The students wore wrist Fitbit devices to track and record their sleep patterns. The researchers found that students in the study sleep on average 6.5 hours a night. More surprisingly, the researchers found that students who receive less than six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance. In addition, each hour of sleep lost would cause a 0.07 decrease in end-of-term GPA.
“Once you start sleeping below six hours, you are starting to accumulate more and more sleep debt that can do harms to a student’s health and study habits, hurting the whole system,” said Creswell. “Most surprising to me was that no matter what we did to make the effect go away, it still remained.”
“A popular belief among college students is value studying more or partying more over nightly sleep,” said Creswell. “Our work here suggests that reducing nighttime sleep has potential costs for your ability to learn and achieve in college. All in all, there’s real value in paying greater attention to the importance of nightly sleep.”
8. How many hours of sleep received by students a night will cause increasing negative outcomes
A. 6.4 hours B. 5.9 hours C. 8 hours D. 6.5 hours
9. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. practical B. particular C. obvious D. unknown
10. What can we infer from Creswell’s saying in the last paragraph
A. Students should sleep more than 6.5 hours at night to get good grades.
B. To get more achievements, students should reduce nightly sleep as much as possible.
C. Aiming to achieve success, students should focus on nightly sleep greatly.
D. Have more parties at night does good for students’ ability to learn and achieve.
11. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage
A. The Ways To Improve GPA B. How Does Nightly Sleep Affect Students
C. More Sleeping, More Success D. Nightly Sleep Is Key To Student Success
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于夜间睡眠时间对学生成绩的影响的研究，表明熬夜对大学生学业成就有不良影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Using Fitbit sleep trackers, they found that students on average sleep 6.5 hours a night, but bad outcomes accumulate (增多) when students received less than 6 hours of sleep a night.(他们使用Fitbit睡眠追踪器后发现：学生平均每晚睡眠6.5小时，但每晚睡眠时间少于6小时时，不良后果就会累积)”可知，学生平均每晚睡眠时间少于6小时时，就会有负面影响。由此可知，学生每晚睡5.9小时会导致越来越多的负面结果。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词所在句中“More surprisingly, the researchers found that students who receive less than six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance.(更令人惊讶的是，研究人员发现，睡眠时间少于6小时的学生学习成绩pronounced下降)”的“More surprisingly”彰显了意料之外，因此“decline”的趋势应是“剧烈的，明显的”，由此推知，划线词pronounced为“明显的”。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our work here suggests that reducing nighttime sleep has potential costs for your ability to learn and achieve in college. All in all, there’s real value in paying greater attention to the importance of nightly sleep.(我们的研究表明，减少夜间睡眠对你在大学的学习能力和成就有潜在的影响。总而言之，更多地关注夜间睡眠的重要性是有实际价值的)”可推知，为提高大学生在校的学习能力和成就，Creswell建议多关注夜间睡眠，少熬夜。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A team of researchers conducted the first study to figure out how the time of nightly sleep early in the semester affects freshmen end-of-semester grade point average (GPA绩点).(一组研究人员开展一项研究，以弄清楚学期早期的夜间睡眠时间如何影响新生学期末的平均成绩)”以及最后一段“Our work here suggests that reducing nighttime sleep has potential costs for your ability to learn and achieve in college.(我们的研究表明，减少夜间睡眠对你在大学的学习能力和成就有潜在的影响)”可知，文章主要讲述了一项关于夜间睡眠时间对学生成绩的影响的研究，夜间睡眠对学生的影响不仅局限于成绩，而应该涉及整体成就。由此可知，D项“夜间睡眠是学生成功的关键”为最佳标题。故选D。
D
“Red tourism”, a new form of tourism in which people visit locations and memorials(纪念碑)of historical significance to the Communist Party of China, has given a much-needed shot in the arm of the domestic(国内的)tourism industry in summer. And red tourism will be more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.
Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform, increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.
Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and taking in the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and worked for the wellbeing of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution and its heroes to the next generations, people can uplift their spirit.
Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural(农村的)areas because most of the revolutionary bases and red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes of local people, Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it can develop local development.
Data show that in the first half of 2022, more than 30 percent of all tourists visited red tourism sites in rural areas, which was 10 percent more than the last year. Yet red tourism faces certain developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.
12. What can we know about red tourism
A. It has brought life to tourism. B. It is not popular with the young.
C. It is a traditional form of tourism. D. It is about visiting beautiful scenery.
13. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2
A. To describe a scene. B. To prove his idea.
C. To illustrate the story. D. To introduce a platform.
14. What is the benefit of red tourism for rural areas
A. It can help improve farming facilities.
B. Local people can make more money.
C. It can offer job opportunities to visitors.
D. Local people can receive much help from society.
15. What will be mentioned in the following paragraphs
A. More and more people will choose red tourism.
B. Many travel companies will benefit from red tourism.
C. Some measures should be taken to solve problems.
D. More red tourism sites should be open to the public.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是当代旅游业的一剂强气剂的红色旅游的基本情况及存在的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段““Red tourism”, a new form of tourism in which people visit locations and memorials(纪念碑)of historical significance to the Communist Party of China, has given a much-needed shot in the arm of the domestic(国内的)tourism industry in summer.(“红色旅游”是一种新的旅游形式，人们参观对中国共产党有历史意义的地点和纪念馆，在夏季给国内旅游业注入了急需的一剂强气剂。)”可知红色旅游给旅游业带来了新的生机。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform, increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.( 6月份，红色旅游景点的订票量增长了5倍，其中约88%的游客选择了当地和短途的红色旅游景点。在中国旅游服务和社交网络平台蚂蜂窝上，“红色旅游”一词的搜索量在暑假期间增加了300%。)”可知暑假期间红色旅游景点的订票量飙升，而“红色旅游”一词也成为了网络高频搜索词，由此可以推断作者列举数字是为了进一步证明自己在第一段提出的观点——红色旅游给旅游业带来了新的生机。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural(农村的)areas because most of the revolutionary bases and red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes of local people, Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it can develop local development.(红色旅游也可以作为发展农村的机会，因为大多数革命根据地和红色旅游景点都在农村。它可以提高当地人的收入，因为红色旅游创造就业机会，帮助增加农民的收入，它可以促进当地的发展。)”可知因为大多数革命根据地和红色旅游景点都在农村，所以当地农民可以赚更多的钱。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet red tourism faces certain developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.(然而，红色旅游面临着一定的发展问题，主要是因为一些地方政府官员没有充分利用红色旅游资源，促进地方发展。)”可知虽然红色旅游会促进当地经济的发展，但是因为一些地方政府官员没有充分利用红色旅游资源，导致红色旅游发展存在一些问题，所以接下来要讲的应该是要采取一定的措施来解决这些问题，以促进红色旅游的进一步发展。故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述甘肃本地人王天昌及家人为防治荒漠化作出的努力，成为中国防治荒漠化运动的象征。
【36题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：从那时起，他们就一直在与沙漠作斗争，成为中国防治荒漠化运动的象征。分析句子可知，此空应填非谓语结构，且动词become的逻辑主语是前面整句内容，两者之间为主谓关系，根据句意可知这里应用现在分词作结果状语。故填becoming。
【37题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：王天昌，甘肃本地人，从小在戈壁沙漠长大。native本地人，是可数名词，此处指“王天昌是一个甘肃本地人”，泛指，应用不定冠词修饰，又因native音标以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a修饰。故填 a。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：为了资助他们的努力，他们卖掉了大部分农场动物，只剩下6只羊来养活自己。分析句子可知，这里考查非谓语，且sheep和leave为被动关系，再根据句意可知，这里应用过去分词作后置定语。故填left。
【39题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：更糟糕的是，因为他们不熟悉环境，他们在头两年种的树被强风吹走了。根据上一句“To fund their efforts, they sold most of their farm animals and were left with only 6 sheep to support themselves.(为了给他们的工作提供资金，他们卖掉了大部分农场动物，只剩下6只羊来养活自己。)”可知，他们卖掉了大部分家畜，只剩下 6 只羊来养活自己，此处承接上文，表示递进关系，表示“更糟糕的是”，由于不熟悉环境，他们的工作开始并不成功，所以空处应用比较级。故填worse。
【40题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：更糟糕的是，因为他们不熟悉环境，他们在头两年种的树被强风吹走了。分析句子可知，此空应填谓语动词，本句主语是the trees，与动词blow之间是被动关系，且本句动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是可数名词复数形式。故填 were blown。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：一种被称为甜野豌豆的灌木，即使在恶劣的沙漠条件下也有80%的存活率，这已经成为王努力的关键部分。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词A bush，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：现在，尽管有严重的健康问题，而且已经快70岁了，王没有放弃他的使命的计划。problem是可数名词，此处表示“尽管他有严重的健康问题”，应用名词复数形式表示泛指。故填problems。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：现在，尽管有严重的健康问题，而且已经快70岁了，王没有放弃他的使命的计划。表示“没有计划去做某事”，应用不定式作定语，构成固定用法 have no plans to do。故填 to quit。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：2015年，中国政府不仅任命天昌父子为森林牧场主，还开始资助他们的工作。结合句意可知，此处表示“任命……为……”，应用固定搭配appoint…as，故填as。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这个家庭的房子被美丽的菜园包围着，这证明土地实际上可以从沙漠改造过来。空处作定语修饰名词garden，应用形容词，beautiful表“美丽的”。故填beautiful。

Although Lora Hudgens was already 71 years old, she bravely took a course at a driving school. During her first day, her classmates, aged 16 to 24, wondered what an old lady like her would be doing there. “She won’t even pass the written test,” one of her classmates said very quietly to another. “I couldn’t agree more!” the other man added. They laughed as they said this.
“She’s wasting her time and money on this course.” another boy said. Lora didn’t care and just listened to the instructor (教练) carefully. Lora got great grades in her first exam, and her classmates were surprised that she made it. She was going to join the rest of them in taking their driving tests at the Department of Motor Vehicles (车管局).
While waiting for their turn at the DMV, one of Lora’s classmates approached her. “I know you’ve probably heard all the talk about you, madam.” he told her. “But why do you want a driver’s license (驾照) at your age ” Lora smiled as if she had been waiting for someone to ask her all this time. She said that she was doing it for her sick grandson.
Her grandson Jack had one wish — he wanted to go camping for a week in a nearby state. Lora promised that she would take him there, but she didn’t have a driver’s license. “That’s why I have to get one.” she explained. The man felt terrible at once. He regretted making fun of Lora. “You’re such an admirable woman.” he replied. “Your grandson is lucky to have you as his grandmother.”
Lora continued to explain that when Jack’s parents left him, she promised to give him a good life. She hoped taking him out for a camping trip could make him happy and get well soon. “His birthday is coming up in two weeks, so I need to pass the test today.” she told the man determinedly.
Paragraph 1: Later, the man told the rest of his classmates why Lora took the course.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：Finally, Lora completed her test without error.

Later, the man told the rest of his classmates why Lora took the course. Everybody felt sorry for making fun of her and decided to help her pass the test. They crowded around her and gave her some tips on how she could easily pass. When it was Lora’s turn to take the driving test, they wished her good luck and cheered her on. “We’ll be here waiting for your good news, Lora!” They told her hopefully. With so many of her classmates supporting her, Lora took the test with much more confidence.
Paragraph 2: (74 words)
Finally, Lora completed her test without error. She took a deep breath and walked back to the waiting room. Her classmates held her excitedly and felt happy for her. Then the instructor informed her that she would get her driver’s license. Upon hearing this, Lora couldn’t help but cry. On her grandson’s birthday, Lora surprised him by driving him to a beautiful nature park in another state. They had so much fun there. Her grandson gradually recovered after the wonderful trip.

Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think

A team of researchers conducted the first study to figure out how the time of nightly sleep early in the semester affects freshmen end-of-semester grade point average (GPA绩点). Using Fitbit sleep trackers, they found that students on average sleep 6.5 hours a night, but bad outcomes accumulate (增多) when students received less than 6 hours of sleep a night. The results can be found in the Feb. 13 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Sleep guidelines recommend teenagers get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. Many college students, however, experience irregular sleep.
David Creswell, Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, led a team of researchers to evaluate the relationship between sleep and GPA. “Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory,” said Creswell. “Here we show how this work translates to humans. The less nightly sleep a first-year-university-student gets at the beginning of the school term predicts lower GPA at the end of the term. Lack of sleep may be hurting students’ ability to learn in their college classrooms.”
The study evaluated more than 600 first-year students across five studies at three universities. The students wore wrist Fitbit devices to track and record their sleep patterns. The researchers found that students in the study sleep on average 6.5 hours a night. More surprisingly, the researchers found that students who receive less than six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance. In addition, each hour of sleep lost would cause a 0.07 decrease in end-of-term GPA.
“Once you start sleeping below six hours, you are starting to accumulate more and more sleep debt that can do harms to a student’s health and study habits, hurting the whole system,” said Creswell. “Most surprising to me was that no matter what we did to make the effect go away, it still remained.”
“A popular belief among college students is value studying more or partying more over nightly sleep,” said Creswell. “Our work here suggests that reducing nighttime sleep has potential costs for your ability to learn and achieve in college. All in all, there’s real value in paying greater attention to the importance of nightly sleep.”
8. How many hours of sleep received by students a night will cause increasing negative outcomes
A. 6.4 hours B. 5.9 hours C. 8 hours D. 6.5 hours
9. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. practical B. particular C. obvious D. unknown
10. What can we infer from Creswell’s saying in the last paragraph
A. Students should sleep more than 6.5 hours at night to get good grades.
B. To get more achievements, students should reduce nightly sleep as much as possible.
C. Aiming to achieve success, students should focus on nightly sleep greatly.
D. Have more parties at night does good for students’ ability to learn and achieve.
11. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage
A. The Ways To Improve GPA B. How Does Nightly Sleep Affect Students

“Red tourism”, a new form of tourism in which people visit locations and memorials(纪念碑)of historical significance to the Communist Party of China, has given a much-needed shot in the arm of the domestic(国内的)tourism industry in summer. And red tourism will be more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.
Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform, increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.
Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and taking in the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and worked for the wellbeing of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution and its heroes to the next generations, people can uplift their spirit.
Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural(农村的)areas because most of the revolutionary bases and red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes of local people, Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it can develop local development.
Data show that in the first half of 2022, more than 30 percent of all tourists visited red tourism sites in rural areas, which was 10 percent more than the last year. Yet red tourism faces certain developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.

57. 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。
Although Lora Hudgens was already 71 years old, she bravely took a course at a driving school. During her first day, her classmates, aged 16 to 24, wondered what an old lady like her would be doing there. “She won’t even pass the written test,” one of her classmates said very quietly to another. “I couldn’t agree more!” the other man added. They laughed as they said this.
“She’s wasting her time and money on this course.” another boy said. Lora didn’t care and just listened to the instructor (教练) carefully. Lora got great grades in her first exam, and her classmates were surprised that she made it. She was going to join the rest of them in taking their driving tests at the Department of Motor Vehicles (车管局).
While waiting for their turn at the DMV, one of Lora’s classmates approached her. “I know you’ve probably heard all the talk about you, madam.” he told her. “But why do you want a driver’s license (驾照) at your age ” Lora smiled as if she had been waiting for someone to ask her all this time. She said that she was doing it for her sick grandson.
Her grandson Jack had one wish — he wanted to go camping for a week in a nearby state. Lora promised that she would take him there, but she didn’t have a driver’s license. “That’s why I have to get one.” she explained. The man felt terrible at once. He regretted making fun of Lora. “You’re such an admirable woman.” he replied. “Your grandson is lucky to have you as his grandmother.”
Lora continued to explain that when Jack’s parents left him, she promised to give him a good life. She hoped taking him out for a camping trip could make him happy and get well soon. “His birthday is coming up in two weeks, so I need to pass the test today.” she told the man determinedly.
Paragraph 1: Later, the man told the rest of his classmates why Lora took the course.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：Finally, Lora completed her test without error.
