The hotel is around 12 feet wide and 35 feet long. It plans to welcome its first guests in 2022.It will fly 320 kilometers above Earth. It can hold six people at a time. Two of them will be workers. They may be former NASA astronauts. Each trip aboard the station will last for 12 days. Guests there will be able to do many interesting things. For example, they will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours. They can take part in research experiments such as growing food in space. Later, they can bring the food back to earth as a souvenir. These are the same things as astronauts usually do. Guests can also share what they see and hear with others on Earth. They can have a video chat using a high-speed Internet connection. But each guest will have to pay at least $9.5 million. That's really a large amount of money.
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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
All of us spend a large part of our lives at home — eating, sleeping, relaxing and communicating with our family members. Our home is a shelter for us, away from the noisy, busy, and polluted world outside — a place where we can let down our hair and dress casually. Eco friendliness (环保) is a hot word today and we all know we should make our environment as eco friendly as possible. This is not only good for our health, but also good for the outward environment. Here are some easy and helpful tips to make your home eco friendly.
Kitchen
Plan the kitchen to be bright and airy so that you don't have to turn on the lights at daytime. Don't make wasteful use of the gas. Keep all ingredients for cooking ready before lighting the gas. Turn it to low when not required — always using it on "high" burns a lot of gas.
Indoor plants
Plants are extremely eco friendly and can be used to make your home look lively. Apart from adding life to home, they give out O2, thus making the air inside fresh. You can keep plants in your home, but be sure to show them some sunlight regularly. Also, if they are kept outside, clean their leaves with a wet cloth, as dust may be added to them. A home decorated with plants looks attractive. Plants are a natural home decorating gift that shows concern about the environment. A green plant is a wonderful gift which will protect the earth and is sure to be appreciated.
Saving water
Most of the time, we take water for granted — we keep water running while brushing our teeth or washing clothes. Needless to say, this is a huge waste of natural resources. Try to recycle water. For example, the water used for washing vegetables can be used for watering plants; the soapy water used for washing clothes can be used to clean the bathroom and kitchen.
21. Why is the importance of our home discussed in Paragraph 1
A. To advise us to communicate more with our family members.
B. To show the outside world is noisy and polluted.
C. To advise us to spend more time staying at home.
D. To show it's necessary to make our home eco friendly.
22. What is advised to be done in the kitchen
A. To open the window. B. To save energy.
C. To prepare simple meals. D. To turn down lights.
23. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean
A. We don't use water frequently.
B. We try our best not to waste water.
C. We don't realize the importance of water.
D. We make full use of water.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了三种让家庭生态友好的方式。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段关键句“Our home is a shelter for us, away from the noisy, busy, and polluted world outside — a place where we can let down our hair and dress casually. Eco friendliness is a hot word today and we all know we should make our environment as eco friendly as possible. ”（我们的家是我们的温馨港湾，远离喧嚣、忙碌和被污染的外面的世界，一个我们可以随意不管头发和穿着的地方。 生态友好是今天的一个热词，我们都知道我们应该使我们的环境尽可能的生态友好。）可知，第一段谈论家的重要性是为了表明我们的家园环保是必要的。故选D项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Kitchen整段内容“Plan the kitchen to be bright and airy so that you don't have to turn on the lights at daytime. Don't make wasteful use of the gas. Keep all ingredients for cooking ready before lighting the gas. Turn it to low when not required—always using it on "high" burns a lot of gas.”（把厨房规划得明亮通风，这样白天就不用开灯了。 不要浪费汽油。 在点燃煤气灯之前，要把所有做饭用的材料都准备好。 当不需要的时候把它调低——总是在“高”的时候使用它会燃烧很多气体。）可知，在厨房里，我们应该节约能源。故选B项。
【23题详解】
句意猜测题。根据Saving water部分的破折号后的解释“we keep water running while brushing our teeth or washing clothes”（我们在刷牙或洗衣服的时候让水一直流着）可知，大多数时候，我们不能意识到水的重要性而节约用水。因此，“we take water for granted”表示我们认为水的存在和使用是理所当然的，即，没有意识到水的重要性。故选C项。
B
British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work---The Underwater Museum of Cannes.
“The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen. “Ocean ecologies have been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”
The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.
Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.
“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”
24. What are the underwater museums intended to do
A. To make huge profits. B. To raise awareness of protecting the ocean.
C. To show Jason Taylor’s talent. D. To draw attention to endangered sea animals.
25. Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask
A. To popularize the features of the locals.
B. To remind people to protect themselves.
C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.
D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.
26. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. How the project was started. B. How the seagrass was restored.
C. What recovery effort the project made. D. Why the surroundings were improved.
27. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph
A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.
B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.
C Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.
D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Taylor创建水下博物馆的初衷以及该项目所造成的积极影响。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen.”（Taylor告诉Dezeen记者:“我们的主要目标是让人们注意到我们的海洋需要我们的帮助。” ）可知水下博物馆旨在提高人们保护海洋的意识。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.”（这些脸有6英尺高，重达10吨，被分成两部分，外部部分像一个面具。 这幅面具表明，从表面上看，世界上的海洋似乎强大而不可战胜，但它的生态系统对于粗心大意的人类活动来说极其脆弱）可知雕塑的外部看起来像一个面具是为了强调生态系统的敏感性。故选D。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.”（虽然雕塑周围的水域现在呈现出一种纯净的蓝色，但当该项目大约四年前开始时，海底充满了旧的船只引擎、管道和其他人造垃圾。 除了清理垃圾，泰勒还恢复了该地区的海草。 仅仅一平方米的海草每天就能产生多达10升的氧气。 海草还有助于防止海岸侵蚀，并为许多海洋生物提供栖息地）可知第四段主要讲了项目做出了哪些恢复努力。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.””（Taylor告诉Dezeen的记者:“创建水下博物馆的想法是为了吸引更多的人在水下，并培养一种关心和保护的意识。” “如果我们在森林附近扔垃圾，会引起公众的强烈抗议。 但这种情况每天都在我们周围的水域发生，而且很大程度上被忽视了。” ）可推断出海洋的情况很容易被忽视。故选A。
C
An amount of the best research on daily experience, according to some experts, is based on rates of positive and negative interactions, which has proved that being blindly positive or negative can cause others to be frustrated or annoyed or to simply tune out.
Over the last two decades, scientists have made remarkable predictions simply by watching people interact with one another and then scoring the conversations based on the rate of positive and negative interactions. Researchers have used the findings to predict everything from the likelihood that a couple will divorce to the chances of a work team with high customer satisfaction and productivity levels.
More recent research helps explain why these brief exchanges matter so much. When you experience negative emotions as a result of disapproval or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking and activates conflict and defense mechanisms. You assume that situations are worse than they actually are.
When you experience a positive interaction, it activates a very different response. Positive exchanges increase your body’s production of oxytocin, a feel-good thing that increases your ability to communicate with, cooperate with and trust others. But the effects of a positive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than how they are for a negative one.
We need at least 3 to 5 positive interactions to outweigh one negative exchange. Bad moments simply outweigh good ones. Whether you’re having a conversation* keep this simple short cut in mind: At least 80 percent of your conversations should be focused on what’s going right.
Workplaces, for example, often see this. During performance reviews, managers routinely spend 80 percent of their time on weaknesses and “areas for improvement”. They spend roughly 20 percent of the time on strengths and positive aspects. Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address weaknesses.
28. What does the underlined phrase “tune out” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Stop listening. B. Change one’s mind.
C. Sing aloud. D. Be crazy.
29. What will happen if we experience negative emotions
A. The situations are sure to become worse.
B. Much of our thinking will be prevented.
C. We will feel an urge to improve and become better.
D. We’ll be motivated to settle conflicts with people.
30. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A. We need a positive feeling to beat one negative feeling.
B. Positive interactions have greater effects than negative ones.
C. Our conversation should center on what needs improvement.
D. The effect of negative feelings lasts longer than that of positive ones.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Harmful Negative Interactions
B. More Positive Interactions
C. How to Promote Workplace Productivity
D. Less Time on Strengths and Positive Aspects
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文，文章建议更积极的互动。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“which has proved that being blindly positive or negative can cause others to be frustrated or annoyed or to simply tune out.” 这已经证明，盲目的积极或消极会让别人感到沮丧、恼怒，或者“tune out”。根据句中的感到沮丧、恼怒，可知此处表示消极的词，A项符合句意，故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When you experience negative emotions as a result of disapproval or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking and activates conflict and defense mechanisms.” 例如，当你因为不赞同或拒绝而经历负面情绪时，你的身体会产生更高水平的压力荷尔蒙，它会关闭你的大部分思考，激活冲突和防御机制。可知，当人们陷入负面情绪时会停止思考。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“But the effects of a positive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than how they are for a negative one.” 但正面事件的影响没有负面事件的影响那么显著和持久。可知消极情绪的影响比积极情绪的影响持续时间更长。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address weaknesses.” 当你与一个人或一个小组进行讨论时，把大部分时间花在讨论什么是有效的，并利用剩余的时间来解决缺点。结合最后一段的建议和前文对于积极情绪和消极情绪的对比，可知文章主要在谈论更积极的互动。“更积极的互动”最适合作文章标题。故选B项。
D
Shining just 12 light-years from Earth, the star Tau Ceti so resembles the sun that it has appeared in numerous science- fiction stories and was the first star astronomers ever searched for signs of intelligent life, half a century ago. In 2012 Tau Ceti grew still more interesting when astronomers reported five possible planets somewhat larger than Earth circling closer to the star than Mars orbits (围绕……运动) the sun—one of which is in the star’s habitable zone. Newly released images taken by the Herschel Space Observatory provide even more insight about Tau Ceti’s solar system: greater detail about its dust belt.
Dust arises when asteroids and comets (小行星和彗星) crash into one another, so its location reveals where these dust- creating objects—which are too small to be seen directly—orbit a star. In Tau Ceti’s case, “it’s quite a wide dust belt,” says Samantha Lawler of the University of Victoria in British Columbia. As her team reported in November, the belt’s inner edge is roughly two to three astronomical units (AUs) from the star, which is the position of our own sun’s asteroid belt. (An AU is the distance from Earth to the sun.) Tau Ceti’s dust belt extends out to 55 AU, which would be just beyond our system’s main Edgeworth-Kuiper belt, the zone of small bodies whose largest member is probably Pluto. Presumably full of asteroids and comets, Tau Ceti’s dust belt most likely lacks a planet as large as Jupiter, Lawler says. The gravity of such a massive planet would have driven away most small space rocks.
Within a year a new series of radio telescopes in Chile called ALMA should provide a sharper view of the disk, especially of its inner edge. The ALMA images will help astronomers confirm whether the star’s five proposed planets are indeed real. If the disk overlaps the planets’ hypothesized (假设的) orbits, then they probably do not exist; they would have kept away most asteroids near the star, removing the source of dust.
If those planets do exist, however, Lawler’s team suggests that Tau Ceti’s planetary system may resemble what our solar system would have looked like had the four giant planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune- never formed: small planets orbiting close to the star, and nothing but asteroids, comets and dust beyond.
32. According to astronomers, the five possible planets of Tau Ceti________.
A. resembled Earth in size
B. functioned like a solar system
C. were located in Tau Ceti’s habitable zone
D. were nearer to Tau Ceti than Mars to the sun
33. Which of the following is true of Tau Ceti’s dust belt
A. It is narrower than the asteroid belt in our system.
B. The bodies inside it are all smaller than Jupiter.
C. The gravity of Tau Ceti makes it get denser.
D. It is over 55 astronomical units in width.
34. According to the passage, the five planets are most likely to exist if________.
A. they don’t move into the dust belt while orbiting Tau Ceti
B. they have kept away most asteroids and comets
C. they don’t crash into any asteroid or comet
D. they can be seen clearly by ALMA
35. It can be inferred from the passage that Tau Ceti’s dust belt________.
A. is useful because it stops asteroids or comets crashing into the star
B. makes Tau Ceti different from the sun because it extends farther
C. is interesting because it keeps other planets away from Tau Ceti
D. plays a role in helping decide whether the five planets are real
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了恒星天仓五的尘埃带的一些情况，以及在决定天仓五的五颗可能的行星是否真实存在方面的作用。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 2012 Tau Ceti grew still more interesting when astronomers reported five possible planets somewhat larger than Earth circling closer to the star than Mars orbits (围绕……运动) the sun—one of which is in the star’s habitable zone. (2012年，天文学家们报道了五颗可能比地球大一些的行星，它们围绕着恒星天仓五运行，比火星绕太阳运行的距离更近，其中一颗位于恒星的可居住区，这使得天仓五变得更加有趣)”可知，天仓五的五颗可能的行星离天仓五的距离比火星离太阳的距离更近，故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Tau Ceti’s dust belt extends out to 55 AU, which would be just beyond our system’s main Edgeworth-Kuiper belt, the zone of small bodies whose largest member is probably Pluto. (天仓五的尘埃带延伸到55个天文单位，刚好在我们系统的主要埃奇沃斯-柯伊伯带之外，这个小天体带的最大成员可能是冥王星。) ”可知，天仓五的尘埃带延伸到55个天文单位，也就是说天仓五的尘埃带的宽度超过55个天文单位。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“If the disk overlaps the planets’ hypothesized (假设的) orbits, then they probably do not exist; they would have kept away most asteroids near the star, removing the source of dust. (如果尘埃盘与假设的行星轨道重叠，那么它们很可能不存在；它们会将大多数靠近恒星的小行星拒之门外，从而消除尘埃的来源) ”可知，如果尘埃盘与假设的行星轨道重叠，那么这五颗行星很可能不存在，也就意味着如果它们在绕天仓五运行时轨道没有和尘埃盘重叠，也就是没有进入尘埃带，那么它们可能是存在的，故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Within a year a new series of radio telescopes in Chile called ALMA should provide a sharper view of the disk, especially of its inner edge. The ALMA images will help astronomers confirm whether the star’s five proposed planets are indeed real. If the disk overlaps the planets’ hypothesized (假设的) orbits, then they probably do not exist; they would have kept away most asteroids near the star, removing the source of dust. (一年内，位于智利的一系列名为ALMA的新射电望远镜将提供更清晰的圆盘图像，特别是其内缘。ALMA的图像将帮助天文学家确认这颗恒星的五颗行星是否真的存在。如果圆盘与假设的行星轨道重叠，那么它们很可能不存在；它们会将大多数靠近恒星的小行星拒之门外，从而消除尘埃的来源) ”可知，根据天仓五尘埃带是否和假设的行星轨道重叠，能帮助天文学家确认这颗恒星的五颗行星是否真的存在，所以天仓五的尘埃带在决定五颗行星是否真实存在方面起着重要作用，故选D。

According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.

If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living ”, you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to. ___37___, it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation.
___38___ If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox （讲台）. If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.___39___.
And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment（赞扬）. ___40___.

【答案】36. B 37. C 38. F 39. E 40. G
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在晚宴上让自己表现得有趣的一些方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party (在晚宴上让自己变得有趣并不难)”可知，下文应主要讲述如何在晚宴上让自己变得有趣。下文“So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers. (所以最主要的事情就是去尝试，去冒险，尝试不同的食物，和陌生人交谈)”可推知，本段主要说明想在晚宴上让自己变得有趣，就要勇于冒险，勇于探索。由此可知，B项“The first step is to go exploring(第一步是去探索)”承上启下，符合题意。故选B项。
【37题详解】
根据下文“it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation. (它可以带入“我有这辆破旧的车”或“我和那些在后面嘲笑愚蠢笑话的疯子一起乘坐公共汽车。”它只是打开了对话)”可知，设空处应该是提了一个不太好的问题，只是开始交流，但并不会给人留下有趣的印象。由此可知，C项“If you ask the question “How did you get here ”(如果你问“你是怎么到这里来的？”这个问题)”能够承接下文，符合题意。故选C项。
【38题详解】
根据下文“If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox. If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. (如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该让他们离开讲话的地方。如果你是主人，你可以让他们到厨房帮你做点什么，只是为了让他们摆脱那种情景)”可知，此处指出了一个问题的解决办法。由此推知，设空处提到了一个棘手的问题。F项“What about the person who has had too much to drink or won’t stop talking(喝太多酒或一直说个不停的人怎么办)”正是提出的问题，引出下文的解决办法，符合题意。故选F项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲台). If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. (如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该让他们离开讲话的地方。如果你是主人，你可以让他们到厨房帮你做点什么，只是为了让他们摆脱那种情景)”可知，本段主要是为解决“喝太多酒或一直说个不停”这个问题提供方法。由此可知，E项“Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say(或者把谈话变成他们没什么可说的话题)”是提出的另一个解决办法，承接上文，符合题意。故选E项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment.(如果你在晚宴上遭遇了尴尬的沉默，唯一能让大家再次交谈的方法就是赞美主人)”可知，此处指出赞美主人可以缓解尴尬的沉默，设空处承上启下，下文“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.(这蛋糕特别好吃，你得告诉我它的一切)”对主人进行了赞美。由此可知，宴会上出现尴尬的沉默时，最尴尬的就是主人，所以需要赞美主人来缓解尴尬。G项“He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most(他或她是最能感受到那种尴尬的人)”承上启下，符合题意。故选G项

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了城市是多种多样的生态系统，大量物种共享我们的城市区域。随着城市的扩张，我们需要思考其他物种与人类为邻是什么感觉。
【56题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：随着城市的扩张，我们需要思考其他物种与人类为邻是什么感觉。空处引导宾语从句，从句缺少宾语，需用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态、语态及主谓一致。句意：因为城市是为人类而建的，所以它们并不总是为野生动物提供合适的栖息地。该句中没有时间状语，根据上下文语境可知全文都有一般现在时，此处使用一般现在时；主语cities与动词build之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以要用被动语态；主语为复数名词，谓语动词使用复数形式。故填are built。
【58题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：例如，大多数城市公园都保持整洁，这样人们会发现它们比以前更漂亮。空处作宾补，需用形容词形式；再根据后面有连接比较对象的连接词than，所以空处需用形容词比较级。故填prettier。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：当德克萨斯州奥斯汀市的一座桥被修复时，工程师们在它的底部增加了一些小缺口，这为蝙蝠提供了一个很好的家，很快这座桥就成了成千上万只蝙蝠的家。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为逗号前面一整句话内容在从句中做主语，需用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意：起初，人们害怕蝙蝠。be afraid of...为固定短语，意为“害怕……”。故填of。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意：现在，他们开始重视他们有翅膀的邻居了。空处作定语修饰neighbors，需用形容词形式；再根据所给提示词为代词they，所以空处需用they的形容词性物主代词来做neighbors的定语。故填their。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意：蝙蝠是一个旅游景点，它们每天晚上吃很多虫子。空处作表语，需用名词形式；根据所给提示词为attract，所以空处需用其名词形式attraction；又因空处前有不定冠词a修饰，所以用单数形式。故填attraction。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：还有一些建筑的目的是将野生动物带入城市。分析句子结构，空处需填动名词作介词of的宾语。故填bringing。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：该公园使用本地植物，为野生动物创造了开放的自然空间。该句中没有时间状语，根据下文并列谓语created用了一般过去时可知此处需用一般过去时；主语The park与动词use之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，所以要用主动语态。故填used。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意：结果是有了一个超过160种鸟类可以自由活动的区域。空处修饰动词短语move about，需用副词形式。故填freely。

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。
On the way back from work every evening, there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway. He looked to be in his late 40's but was probably a lot younger. His eyes were what struck me the most about him, they were brown and they had a sparkle. People say they can tell a lot from a person’s eyes. It was certainly true in his case. He always waved at every car, he was always happy and smiling and sometimes almost dancing.
Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change and quickly roll down my window and give him the coins. Occasionally the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”. I knew what his answer was going to be every time, yet I would still ask. It amazed me that even in his situation of being homeless he was so positive, and his answer would remind me of how blessed I was. A single mother of four amazing kids, with a place to call home and with a job to provide for my kids.
Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off due to the economy. For the rest of that day, a feeling of worry engulfed(淹没）me. Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. But there he was as always, as I turned the ramp（斜坡）. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others.

What he gave me was more than a dollar bill.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I’d hoped to catch the green light, but I missed it. While I was waiting for the red light to turn, all I could think of was “How can I provide for my kids How can I pay rent What am I going to do ” Just then he strolled over to my car. He had a big smile and looked me straight in the eyes and said “today I will give you a dollar”. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill. I was blown away, bursting into tears.
What he gave me was more than a dollar bill. He taught me a valuable lesson. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. My ride home was smooth sailing. I had lost my job and had no savings, but I knew I was blessed! Every time I’m faced with challenges, I always think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed. Then, I can get up courage to overcome the difficulties and misfortunes.

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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
All of us spend a large part of our lives at home — eating, sleeping, relaxing and communicating with our family members. Our home is a shelter for us, away from the noisy, busy, and polluted world outside — a place where we can let down our hair and dress casually. Eco friendliness (环保) is a hot word today and we all know we should make our environment as eco friendly as possible. This is not only good for our health, but also good for the outward environment. Here are some easy and helpful tips to make your home eco friendly.
Kitchen
Plan the kitchen to be bright and airy so that you don't have to turn on the lights at daytime. Don't make wasteful use of the gas. Keep all ingredients for cooking ready before lighting the gas. Turn it to low when not required — always using it on "high" burns a lot of gas.
Indoor plants
Plants are extremely eco friendly and can be used to make your home look lively. Apart from adding life to home, they give out O2, thus making the air inside fresh. You can keep plants in your home, but be sure to show them some sunlight regularly. Also, if they are kept outside, clean their leaves with a wet cloth, as dust may be added to them. A home decorated with plants looks attractive. Plants are a natural home decorating gift that shows concern about the environment. A green plant is a wonderful gift which will protect the earth and is sure to be appreciated.
Saving water
Most of the time, we take water for granted — we keep water running while brushing our teeth or washing clothes. Needless to say, this is a huge waste of natural resources. Try to recycle water. For example, the water used for washing vegetables can be used for watering plants; the soapy water used for washing clothes can be used to clean the bathroom and kitchen.

A. To advise us to communicate more with our family members.
B. To show the outside world is noisy and polluted.
C. To advise us to spend more time staying at home.
D. To show it's necessary to make our home eco friendly.
22. What is advised to be done in the kitchen
A. To open the window. B. To save energy.
C. To prepare simple meals. D. To turn down lights.
23. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean
A. We don't use water frequently.
B. We try our best not to waste water.
C. We don't realize the importance of water.
D. We make full use of water.

British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work---The Underwater Museum of Cannes.
“The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen. “Ocean ecologies have been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”
The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.
Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.
“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”
24. What are the underwater museums intended to do
A. To make huge profits. B. To raise awareness of protecting the ocean.
C. To show Jason Taylor’s talent. D. To draw attention to endangered sea animals.
25. Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask
A. To popularize the features of the locals.
B. To remind people to protect themselves.
C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.
D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.
26. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. How the project was started. B. How the seagrass was restored.
C. What recovery effort the project made. D. Why the surroundings were improved.
27. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph
A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.
B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.
C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.
D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.
C
An amount of the best research on daily experience, according to some experts, is based on rates of positive and negative interactions, which has proved that being blindly positive or negative can cause others to be frustrated or annoyed or to simply tune out.
Over the last two decades, scientists have made remarkable predictions simply by watching people interact with one another and then scoring the conversations based on the rate of positive and negative interactions. Researchers have used the findings to predict everything from the likelihood that a couple will divorce to the chances of a work team with high customer satisfaction and productivity levels.
More recent research helps explain why these brief exchanges matter so much. When you experience negative emotions as a result of disapproval or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking and activates conflict and defense mechanisms. You assume that situations are worse than they actually are.
When you experience a positive interaction, it activates a very different response. Positive exchanges increase your body’s production of oxytocin, a feel-good thing that increases your ability to communicate with, cooperate with and trust others. But the effects of a positive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than how they are for a negative one.
We need at least 3 to 5 positive interactions to outweigh one negative exchange Bad moments simply outweigh good ones. Whether you’re having a conversation* keep this simple short cut in mind: At least 80 percent of your conversations should be focused on what’s going right.
Workplaces, for example, often see this. During performance reviews, managers routinely spend 80 percent of their time on weaknesses and “areas for improvement”. They spend roughly 20 percent of the time on strengths and positive aspects. Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address weaknesses.
28. What does the underlined phrase “tune out” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Stop listening. B. Change one’s mind.
C. Sing aloud. D. Be crazy.
29. What will happen if we experience negative emotions
A. The situations are sure to become worse.
B. Much of our thinking will be prevented.
C. We will feel an urge to improve and become better.
D. We’ll be motivated to settle conflicts with people.
30. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A. We need a positive feeling to beat one negative feeling.
B. Positive interactions have greater effects than negative ones.
C. Our conversation should center on what needs improvement.
D. The effect of negative feelings lasts longer than that of positive ones.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Harmful Negative Interactions
B. More Positive Interactions
C. How to Promote Workplace Productivity
D. Less Time on Strengths and Positive Aspects
D
Shining just 12 light-years from Earth, the star Tau Ceti so resembles the sun that it has appeared in numerous science- fiction stories and was the first star astronomers ever searched for signs of intelligent life, half a century ago. In 2012 Tau Ceti grew still more interesting when astronomers reported five possible planets somewhat larger than Earth circling closer to the star than Mars orbits (围绕……运动) the sun—one of which is in the star’s habitable zone. Newly released images taken by the Herschel Space Observatory provide even more insight about Tau Ceti’s solar system: greater detail about its dust belt.
Dust arises when asteroids and comets (小行星和彗星) crash into one another, so its location reveals where these dust- creating objects—which are too small to be seen directly—orbit a star. In Tau Ceti’s case, “it’s quite a wide dust belt,” says Samantha Lawler of the University of Victoria in British Columbia. As her team reported in November, the belt’s inner edge is roughly two to three astronomical units (AUs) from the star, which is the position of our own sun’s asteroid belt. (An AU is the distance from Earth to the sun.) Tau Ceti’s dust belt extends out to 55 AU, which would be just beyond our system’s main Edgeworth-Kuiper belt, the zone of small bodies whose largest member is probably Pluto. Presumably full of asteroids and comets, Tau Ceti’s dust belt most likely lacks a planet as large as Jupiter, Lawler says. The gravity of such a massive planet would have driven away most small space rocks.
Within a year a new series of radio telescopes in Chile called ALMA should provide a sharper view of the disk, especially of its inner edge. The ALMA images will help astronomers confirm whether the star’s five proposed planets are indeed real. If the disk overlaps the planets’ hypothesized (假设的) orbits, then they probably do not exist; they would have kept away most asteroids near the star, removing the source of dust.
If those planets do exist, however, Lawler’s team suggests that Tau Ceti’s planetary system may resemble what our solar system would have looked like had the four giant planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune- never formed: small planets orbiting close to the star, and nothing but asteroids, comets and dust beyond.
32. According to astronomers, the five possible planets of Tau Ceti________.
A. resembled Earth in size
B. functioned like a solar system
C. were located in Tau Ceti’s habitable zone
D. were nearer to Tau Ceti than Mars to the sun
33. Which of the following is true of Tau Ceti’s dust belt
A. It is narrower than the asteroid belt in our system.
B. The bodies inside it are all smaller than Jupiter.
C. The gravity of Tau Ceti makes it get denser.
D. It is over 55 astronomical units in width.
34. According to the passage, the five planets are most likely to exist if________.
A. they don’t move into the dust belt while orbiting Tau Ceti
B. they have kept away most asteroids and comets
C. they don’t crash into any asteroid or comet
D. they can be seen clearly by ALMA
35. It can be inferred from the passage that Tau Ceti’s dust belt________.
A. is useful because it stops asteroids or comets crashing into the star
B. makes Tau Ceti different from the sun because it extends farther
C. is interesting because it keeps other planets away from Tau Ceti
D. plays a role in helping decide whether the five planets are real

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。
On the way back from work every evening, there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway. He looked to be in his late 40's but was probably a lot younger. His eyes were what struck me the most about him, they were brown and they had a sparkle. People say they can tell a lot from a person’s eyes. It was certainly true in his case. He always waved at every car, he was always happy and smiling and sometimes almost dancing.
Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change and quickly roll down my window and give him the coins. Occasionally the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”. I knew what his answer was going to be every time, yet I would still ask. It amazed me that even in his situation of being homeless he was so positive, and his answer would remind me of how blessed I was. A single mother of four amazing kids, with a place to call home and with a job to provide for my kids.
Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off due to the economy. For the rest of that day, a feeling of worry engulfed(淹没）me. Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. But there he was as always, as I turned the ramp（斜坡）. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
