【2022年6月全国甲卷 D篇】
Sometime in the ea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rly 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discovered its harbor. Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there — broad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city.
Andrew Reynolds, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cheerful fellow in his early 30s, pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living. I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor. After our third run Andrew shut down the engine, and we went our separate ways — he for a lunch break, I to explore the city.
“I’ll miss these old boats,” he said as we parted.
“How do you mean ” I asked.
“Oh, they’re replacing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they’re not so elegant, and they’re not fun to pilot. But that’s progress, I guess.”
Everywhere i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Sydney these days, change and progress are the watchwords (口号), and traditions are increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city’s official historian, told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much of its past, including many of its finest buildings. “Sydney is confused about itself,” she said. “We can’t seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one. It’s a conflict that we aren’t getting any better at resolving (解决).”
On the other hand, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) being young and old at the same time has its attractions. I considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony. “Many people say that we lack culture in this country,” he told me. “What people forget is that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2000 years of their culture, the Greeks some 3000 years, and the Chinese more still. We’ve got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country. It’s a pretty hard combination to beat.”
He is right, but I c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an’t help wishing they would keep those old ferries.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Sydney’s strikin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g architecture. B. The cultural diversity of Sydney.
C. The key to Sydney ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’s development. D. Sydney’s tourist attractions in the 1960s.
33. What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds
A. He goes to work by boat. B. He looks forward to a new life.
C. He pilots catamarans well. D. He is attached to the old ferries.
34. What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney
A. It is losing its traditions. B. It should speed up its progress.
C. It should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )expand its population. D. It is becoming more international.
35. Which statement will the author probably agree with www-2-1-cnjy-com
A. A city can be young and old at the same time.
B. A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.
C. Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
D. Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

【2022年1月浙江卷 A篇】
For nearly a de ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cade now,Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist. Her pet transport job was born of the financial crisis（危机）in the late 2000s．The downturn hit the real estate（房地产）firm where she had worked for ten years as an office manager.The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job.One day,while driving near her home,she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly lost. She took it home,and her sister in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving home for sure,but 1,600 miles away.It didn’t take long for Merebeth to decide to drive the dog there herself. It was her first road trip to her new job.
Merebeth's p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )et delivery service satisfies her wanderlust. It has taken her to every state in the US except Montana,Washington and Oregon,she says proudly.If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with transport needs there.She travels in all weathers.She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming , heavy flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas.
This wanderlu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st is inherited from her father,she says.He moved their family from Canada to California when she was one year old,because he wanted them to explore a new place together. As soon as she graduated from high school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast,away from her parents,where she enjoyed a life of sailing and off-road biking.
It turns out ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30,000 per year before tax.She doesn't work in summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning.As autumn comes,she gets restless the same old wanderlust returning. It's a call she must handle alone,though.Merebeth says,"When I'm on the road, I'm just in my own world. I've always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I must help animals."

B.She works hard throughout the year.
C.She relies on herself the whole time.

第21题 细节事实题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据文章第一段第三、四句--The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job.可知原先公司破厂导致要找份新工作。与D 选项意思一致。故答案选D。

【2021年6月浙江卷】
Leslie Nielsen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )'s childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life-his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career（职业）in acting. Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then, wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at he had wasn't quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasn't until1980-32 years into his career-that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane! That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
Did Nielsen the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n feel content in his career Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might he just around the comer. He never stopped working, never retired.
Leslie Nielsen's dev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )otion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life.
21. Why did Nielsen want to be an actor
A. He enjoyed watchin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g movies. B. He was eager to earn money.
C. He wanted to be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )like his uncle. D. He felt he was good at acting.
22. What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career 2·1·c·n·j·y
A. He directed some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) high quality movies. B. He avoided taking on new challenges.
C. He focused on p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )laying dramatic roles. D. He became a successful comedy actor.
23. What does Nielsen's career story tell us
A. Art is long, life ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is short. B. He who laughs last laughs longest.
C. It's never t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oo late to learn. D. Where there's a will there's a way.
答案与解析：
21.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career in acting”可知，尼尔森的叔叔所受到的赞赏和尊敬激励着尼尔森他想在表演上干出一番事业。由此可知，尼尔森想成为一名演员是因为他有想成为像他叔叔一样的人的思想所致。故选C。
22.D 细节理解题。题干定位:根据题干中的 in the second half of his career可将本题题眼锁
定在第二段。根据第二段中的“That mov ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when ...”可知，尼尔森在其事业的后半段因为电影Airplane而成为一名成功的喜剧演员。故选D项。
23.D 推理判断题。本文 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )主要介绍了尼尔森受叔叔的影响在进入演艺圈，并且32年后因一部电影让其喜剧天分发挥到极致而一举成名，从而实现了他想成为喜剧演员的梦想。由此可知，有志者事竟成。故选D。
【2021年6月浙江卷】
We live in a town ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes' walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen-any screen -and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ew years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself "marketing director for Nature". He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
"Just five more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )minutes outdoors can make a difference," David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life." His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."
Summer is upon u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
24. What is the problem with the author's children
A. They often an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )noy the neighbours. B. They are tired of doing their homework.
C. They have no friend ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s to play with D. They stay in front of screens for too long.
25. How did David Bond advocate his idea
A. By making ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a documentary film. B. By organizing outdoor activities.
C. By advertisin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g in London media. D. By creating a network of friends.
26. Which of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing can replace the underlined word "charts" in paragraph 2
A. records B. predicts C. delays D. confirms21教育名师原创作品
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Let Children Hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Fun B. Young Children Need More Free Tire
C. Market Nature t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o Children D. David Bond: A Role Model for Children
答案与解析：
24.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours.”可知，作者的孩子们放学后想做的第一件事就是拿起一个屏幕---任何一个屏幕---—盯着它看上几个小时。说明作者的孩子的问题是花在屏幕上的时间太多。故选D。
25.A 细节理解题。根据第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )二段中的“...being a London media type, appointed himself..., a film which charts the birth of the wild Network, a group of organizations with the common goal of petting children out into nature”可知，David是一个电影导演，利用媒体来向孩子们推销大自然，记录了自己的活动，并且拍成了一部电影Project wild Thing，由此可知他是通过制作纪录片的形式来倡导自己的想法的。故选A。
26.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段划线词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )前面的句子“He documented his journey as he set about treating
nature a brand ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to be marketed to young people”可知其中的“documented”意为“记录”。因此，结合划线词后面的“the birth of the Wild Network ”可知，他的纪录片记录了一个组织的诞生，顾“charts”意为“记录”，故选A。
27.C 主旨大意题。作者 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )通过回忆自己小时候在外面玩，以及现在自己的孩子花费在屏幕上时间太多，而不再出去玩了，过渡并叙述了很多人们意识到了这个问题，并且以电影导演 David Bond为例，拍摄纪录片，倡导让孩子们到户外，到大自然中去等，因此C项符合题意。
【2021年全国甲卷】
When I was 9, we p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )acked up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
8. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London
A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby.
C. He liked the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eather there. D. He had disagreements with his family.【版权所有：21教育】
9. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean
A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don't worry!
10. Why did the aut ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hor like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London
A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends.
C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days
11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. Children should learn a second language.
B Sport is necessary for children's health.
C. Children need a sense of belonging
D. Seeing the world is a must for children.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文属于记叙文。本文讲述作者自己 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的经历，起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Every ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )one in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue -sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措)”可知，作者刚到伦敦的时候因为没有喜爱的沙滩，不能很好的融入到新的城市，感到很沮丧，故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后文 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. (那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家)”可知，作者掌握了滑板落地技巧，因此他的朋友大声欢呼，因此可以推出本句的Safe是赞美的含义，结合选项，故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I was a local here 20 years ago," I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.””(我告诉他：“我20年前经常在这里玩滑板，”他缓慢地开始向我点头：“嗨，你好！”)”可推知，作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆，故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文可知，作者 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。但是搬去华盛顿，因为没有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友，几年之后就不再玩滑板，作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在于一个孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的回忆。通过作者的经历，作者要表达的是，归属感对于孩子是很重要的，故选C。
【2021年新高考全国卷Ⅰ】
By day, Robert Titter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”21cnjy.com
Mr Titterton is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ls are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all perfor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
25. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
26. What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
27. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”
A He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了为钢琴演奏者做翻页工作的Robert Titterton和他的工作情况。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.(我不是受过训练的音乐家，但我学会了识谱，这样我就可以在Maria的表演中帮助她)”可知，Titterton因为识谱，所以可以在Maria的钢琴表演中为她翻页。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A lot o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.(这项工作需要很多技能。你必须确保你不会一次翻两页并且必要的时候确保你回到前面找到音乐重复的部分)”可知，为钢琴家翻页这项工作很需要技巧。由此推知，Titterton的工作要求是很高的。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Silent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.(无声的舞台交流是关键，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来表示翻页，他们需要和翻页者进行练习)”可知，Titterton需要和钢琴演奏者练习识别他们的“点头”示意来翻页。故选B项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“H ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’(他对音乐很感兴趣，感受着每一个音符，所以我不得不说：“翻页，翻页！”)”可知，Ms Raspopova的丈夫因为对音乐感兴趣，所以帮她翻页的时候总是沉浸在音乐中而忘掉自己的工作，她不得不去提醒。故选D项。

More than 25 yea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural (农村) India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him — so he got on.
That train too ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage (孤儿院). There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
As he writes in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.
Then he found ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station” — and there it was. “And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain” — and there it was. Everything just started to match.

I have a special plac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew olde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read ,using ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .
Now, I see my chi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ldren taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.
As a novelist, I’ve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
32. Which word be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st describes the author’s relationship with books as a child
A. Cooperative. B. Uneasy. C. Inseparable. D. Casual.

Jenifer Mauer has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, W ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )isconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition（学费）, because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing.

Through it all, s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed（牺牲）to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful.

In the mid-1990s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit, however, en ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ded up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers. 【出处：21教育名师】
This is a quick look ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral（葬礼）followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.
8. What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan （ ）【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
A. His friends' invi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tation. B. His interest in the country.

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的”A f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ew years later, still attracted to the country. he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Ara Sea”可知，几年后，Bissell仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章。因此推断出对这个国家的兴趣让Bissell先生再次返回乌兹别克斯坦。故选B。2-1-c-n-j-y
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。划线句是第二段首句，th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at用来指代上文提的事情，因此推断that指代第一段的内容，根据第一段最后一句”A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea(几年后，仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章)”可知，that指代写了一篇关于死海消失的文章这件事，故选D。21·世纪*教育网

推理判断题。根据第三段”This is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.”可知，在乌兹别克斯坦的旅途中，Mr Bissell既体会到了友善和温暖，也看到了社会的黑暗面。在撒马尔罕，Mr Bissell欣赏到了的建筑奇观。在前往布哈拉的路上，他因为被怀疑进行毒品交易，他尝到了警察的伎俩。在费尔干纳，他参加了一个山区葬礼，然后参加了一个奇怪的酒会。在卡拉卡尔帕克斯坦，他为沙尘暴、疾病和被困在数英里外的渔船而难过。由此可知，在旅途中，他经历了很多事情。结合选项，B选项(充满事件的，多事的)可以表达此意。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段提到书的作者的乌兹 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )别克斯坦之行，引出他写的书，接下来三段讲述了他的书《追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵》的故事内容，是乌兹别克斯坦生活的一个快速观察。因此推断本文的写作目的是介绍一本书。故选A。
9.【2020年1月浙江卷】
I never knew ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )anyone who’d grown up in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs. Calloway, our librarian. She ran Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere. If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read.
My mother was not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )afraid of Mrs. Calloway. She wished me to have my own library card to check out books for myself. She took me in to introduce me. “Eudora is nine years old and has my permission to read any book she wants from the shelves, children or adults,” Mother said.
Mrs. Calloway ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )de her own rules about books. You could not take back a book to the library on the same day you’d taken it out; it made no difference to her that you’d read every word in it and needed another to start. You could take out two books at a time and two only. So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute I reached our house, I started to read. I knew this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time.
My mother sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ared this feeling of mine. Now, I think of her as reading so much of the time while doing something else. I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a game of “Little Red Riding Hood” with my brother’s two daughters. She’d just look up at the right time, long enough to answer — in character — “The better to eat you with, my dear,” and go back to her place in the magazine article.
21. Which of the following best describes Mrs. Calloway
A. Quiet. B. Strict. C. Humorous. D. Considerate.
22. What do the under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined words “this feeling” refer to in the last paragraph
A. Desire to read. B. Love for Mrs. Calloway.
C. Interest in games. D. Fear of the library rules.
23. Where is the text probably from
A. A guidebook. B. An autobiography.
C. A news report. D. A book review.
答案与解析
21. B 推理判断题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据第一段中的If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. 可知Mrs. Calloway对衣着严格要求以及第三段中她对图书借阅严格规定可知，Mrs. Calloway是一位严格的图书管理员。
22. A 推理判断题 根据第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )三段最后I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home … I knew this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time. 可知，作者那时候如饥似渴地阅读；根据本段Now, I think of her as reading so much …，可知作者的母亲也很渴望阅读。
23. B推理判断题 通读全文可知，作者是在回忆自己童年时代的阅读经历，最可能出自自传。
10.【2020年北京卷】
For the past five ye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript（手稿）consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ion remains as mysterious（神秘）as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.
Though Smith did get ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus. 21世纪教育网版权所有
The work has also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when sci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ence—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering（修补）, as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
38. How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript （ ）
A. Confused about the technical terms.
B. Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C. Discouraged by its complex structure.
D. Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
39. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________. （ ）
A. restore old workshops B. understand the craftsmen
C. improve visual effects D. inspire the philosophers21教育网
40. Why does the author mention museums （ ）
A. To reveal the beauty of ancient objects.
B. To present the findings of old science.
C. To highlight the importance of antiques.
D. To emphasise the values of hand skills.
41. Which would be the best title for this passage （ ）
A. Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists
B. Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists
D. Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science
本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述科学家Pau ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )la Smith致力于对古代手工技能的研究，认为科学家如果能够把古代的手工技能和现代的科学方法结合起来，就能够创造更大成就。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But Sm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.” 让史密斯震惊的主要是，她并没有真正掌握作者所描述的任何技能。她说:“你根本无法通过阅读来了解这些手工作品。” 由此可知读完这份法国手稿，这种手工技能让史密斯感到震惊，故选D。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Recons ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, ” 重建几个世纪前工匠的作品，可以揭示他们如何看待世界，他们的家里有什么物件。由此可知，重建工作主要是为了了解工匠。故选B。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down.” 史密斯说，这项工作也给博物馆带来了深刻的见解。为了保存它，一个人必须知道一件物品是如何制成的。更重要的是，重建可能是唯一的方法，以了解宝藏磨损之前的样子。因此可知，博物馆要想很好保存物品，必须要知道这件物品是如何制成的，也是在强调手工技能的价值，故选D。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors. ”史密斯说，如果我们能重新发现实践经验和工艺的价值，我们就能将现代的最好见解与我们祖先的灵巧结合起来。由此可知本文的中心思想就在于如果科学家能把古代的手工技巧同现代的理论结合起来，就能够获得更多的成就。C选项Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists工艺造就了更好的科学家，符合文章主题，适合做标题，故选C。
Passage 1（2022·湖南·周南中学模拟预测）
It was the fe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stive season. Mom had baked some delicious cookies. Jam tarts were always my favorite and I had enjoyed myself to excess. Moreover, the refrigerator was well-stocked with chocolates and ice-cream so I helped myself to all the goodies. That night I woke up with an unbearable toothache. No amount of aspirin could stop the pain.
When morning ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arrived, I had to do the unavoidable - make an appointment with the dentist. My dental appointment was at 2 pm that afternoon, which was just another four hours away. The thought was enough to kill my interest in everything else. I had butterflies in my stomach. I arrived at the dental clinic an hour before the appointment.
After regist ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ering, I walked unenthusiastically towards a chair. I did not even bother to look at the other patients. Picking up a few magazines, I tried to read to get rid of my fear and pain, but I could not concentrate. All I was aware of was a terrible pain. The sight of patients coming out from the treatment room, with large pieces of gauze sticking out from their mouths, only seemed to worsen my pain.
One of my New Year ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) resolutions was made while I was shifting restlessly in my seat. I vowed never to taste another jam tart or take a chunky bite of chocolate in the future.
When my name was fin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ally called, I staggered into the treatment room. I heard the dentist greeting me, but I could not bring myself to respond to his greeting. The sight of the drilling equipment and the hypodermic syringes (皮下注射器) only increased my feelings of sickness. When the dentist asked me to take my seat and then open my mouth, I felt my heart pounding very fast. I was sure that I was going to get a heart attack.
The dentist i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nformed me that it was best to extract the tooth. I nodded and opened my mouth and tried to think of other things. The next minute or so was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I grabbed the dentist’s hands more than once. At first, he was quite taken aback and eyed me suspiciously. Then he warned me that he would have my hands tied if I were to repeat my antics. I did not think that he was joking!
Soon the pain gave ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )way to a soothing sensation. When the dentist told me that the pain was all over, I could hardly believe my ears.

Passage 2（2022·天津·二模）
My husband is m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore a kid at heart than I am, so he says we need to find souvenirs for the grandkids while on a trip to Savannah.
I can be a kid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) at heart, too, but I also can be a mathematician — and even cheap, ugly souvenirs add up quickly when you have 11 grandkids.
Children are of o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne mind on the subject — they like souvenirs and they want them. So we are digging through piles of (成堆的) cheap key fobs (钥匙链), plastic sun hats, chocolate treats that will melt in the heat, and ridiculous T-shirts, finding nothing.
We go with two h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ats for the boys but are still empty-handed for the nine girls. Then I spot small bracelets (手链) in a rainbow of colors.
“What about these ” I ask the husband.
He turns one over a couple of times and says, “Nice.”
The bracelets are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )made of small beads (珠子) shaped like starfish and turtles. They all look like rock candy, which can be eaten and was a popular souvenir when we were kids. We buy nine and make a mental note: tell the girls not to eat them.
As the clerk r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ings up the bracelets, I remember a souvenir I had as a girl. We had gone to the east coast and could choose one thing in a shop to remember our trip by. My sister and I chose what we liked. Mine was a blue plastic soapbox with the lid (盖子) covered in silver glitter (小闪光物) and topped with a pink flamingo (火烈鸟). It was cheap and tacky (俗气的) and I believed it was the loveliest thing a girl could own. It was too beautiful to put soap inside, so it sat in a dresser drawer year after year, slowly aging, yellowing, the glitter fling off. But it is still a reminder of a family trip long ago.
The girls ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e married and have families of their own, and those souvenirs are still in the dresser drawers in their old bedrooms.
I have been won ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) over to the idea that even cheap and tacky souvenirs may have worth and value. Tiny trinkets (小饰品) say I was thinking of you even though we were apart. That’s always a good investment (投资).
5．What did t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he author think about his husband, when he wanted to buy souvenirs
A．He wanted to remember the trip. B．He missed their grandkids.
C．He wanted to share the joy. D．He was a little childish.
6．Why did the author say she was a mathematician
A．Because she found it expensive to buy 11 souvenirs.
B．Because she was good at choosing souvenirs for kids.
C．Because she ever studied mathematics in university.
D．Because their family was not rich enough to buy souvenirs.
7．What souvenirs did they buy for the grandkids
A．Some cheap and ord ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inary souvenirs. B．Some small bracelets made of beads.
C．Some rock ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ndy which can be eate D．A blue plastic soapbox with a beautiful lid.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和丈夫给孙子孙女挑选纪念品时的感悟——廉价和俗气的纪念品也有价值。
5．细节理解题。根据第一段“My husba ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd is more a kid at heart than I am, so he says we need to find souvenirs for the grandkids while on a trip to Savannah. (我丈夫的内心比我更像个孩子，所以他说我们需要在去萨凡纳旅行的时候给孙子孙女们买纪念品)”可知，当丈夫说要给孙子孙女们纪念品时，作者觉得他有点孩子气。故选D。
6．【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的“but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I also can be a mathematician — and even cheap, ugly souvenirs add up quickly when you have 11 grandkids. (当你有11个孙子时，即使是廉价的、丑陋的纪念品（钱）也会积少成多)”推知，作者认为自己更像一个数学家是因为即使买11个廉价的纪念品加起来也很贵了。故选A。
7．【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段的“We g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o with two hats for the boys (我们给男孩买了两顶帽子)”和第七段“The bracelets are made of small beads (珠子) shaped like starfish and turtles. They all look like rock candy, which can be eaten and was a popular souvenir when we were kids. We buy nine and make a mental note: tell the girls not to eat them.

It was cheap and tacky (俗气的) and I believed it was the loveliest thing a girl could own. (当店员按铃把手镯扣上时，我想起了儿时的一件纪念品。我们去了东海岸，可以在商店里选择一样东西来纪念我们的旅行。我姐姐和我选择了我们喜欢的。我的是一个蓝色的塑料肥皂盒，盖子覆盖着银色的闪光，上面有一只粉红色的火烈鸟。它又便宜又俗气，我相信这是一个女孩能拥有的最可爱的东西)”可知，女孩儿们的纪念品让作者想起了自己小时候一个便宜但最可爱的纪念品。故选C。
9．【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )But it is still a reminder of a family trip long ago. (但它仍然让人想起很久以前的一次家庭旅行)”和最后一段“I have been won over to the idea that even cheap and tacky souvenirs may have worth and value. Tiny trinkets (小饰品) say I was thinking of you even though we were apart. That’s always a good investment (投资). (我已经被说服了，即使是廉价和俗气的纪念品也可能有价值。一些小饰品表明，虽然我们分开了，我仍在想你。这总是一项不错的投资)”推知，作者认为即使便宜、小的纪念品也会让人想起和家人的旅行。故选A。

1.【2022年6月全国甲卷 D篇】
Sometime in the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discovered its harbor. Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there — broad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city.
Andrew Reynolds, a c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )heerful fellow in his early 30s, pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living. I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor. After our third run Andrew shut down the engine, and we went our separate ways — he for a lunch break, I to explore the city.
“I’ll miss these old boats,” he said as we parted.
“How do you mean ” I asked.
“Oh, they’re r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eplacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they’re not so elegant, and they’re not fun to pilot. But that’s progress, I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )these days, change and progress are the watchwords (口号), and traditions are increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city’s official historian, told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much of its past, including many of its finest buildings. “Sydney is confused about itself,” she said. “We can’t seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one. It’s a conflict that we aren’t getting any better at resolving (解决).”
On the other h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and, being young and old at the same time has its attractions. I considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony. “Many people say that we lack culture in this country,” he told me. “What people forget is that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2000 years of their culture, the Greeks some 3000 years, and the Chinese more still. We’ve got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country. It’s a pretty hard combination to beat.”
He is right, but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I can’t help wishing they would keep those old ferries.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Sydney’s striking ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) architecture. B. The cultural diversity of Sydney.
C. The key to Sydne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y’s development. D. Sydney’s tourist attractions in the 1960s.
33. What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds
A. He goes to work by boat. B. He looks forward to a new life.
C. He pilots catamarans well. D. He is attached to the old ferries.
34. What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney
A. It is losing its traditions. B. It should speed up its progress.
C. It should expand it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s population. D. It is becoming more international.
35. Which statement will the author probably agree with
A. A city can be young and old at the same time.
B. A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.
C. Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
D. Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

Leslie Niels ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en's childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life-his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career（职业）in acting. Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )what he had wasn't quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasn't until1980-32 years into his career-that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane! That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
Did Nielsen the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n feel content in his career Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might he just around the comer. He never stopped working, never retired.
Leslie Nielsen's de ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )votion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life.
21. Why did Nielsen want to be an actor
A. He enjoyed watching ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) movies. B. He was eager to earn money.
C. He wanted to be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) like his uncle. D. He felt he was good at acting.
22. What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career 21教育名师原创作品
A. He directed some hi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gh quality movies. B. He avoided taking on new challenges.
C. He focused on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )playing dramatic roles. D. He became a successful comedy actor.
23. What does Nielsen's career story tell us
A. Art is long, life i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s short. B. He who laughs last laughs longest.
C. It's never ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) too late to learn. D. Where there's a will there's a way.

We live in a tow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes' walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen-any screen -and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ew years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself "marketing director for Nature". He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
"Just five m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore minutes outdoors can make a difference," David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life." His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."
Summer is upon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
24. What is the problem with the author's children
A. They often annoy th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e neighbours. B. They are tired of doing their homework.
C. They have n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o friends to play with D. They stay in front of screens for too long.
25. How did David Bond advocate his idea
A. By making a docume ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntary film. B. By organizing outdoor activities.
C. By advertising i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n London media. D. By creating a network of friends.
26. Which of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the following can replace the underlined word "charts" in paragraph 2
A. records B. predicts C. delays D. confirms

A. Let Children ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Have Fun B. Young Children Need More Free Tire
C. Market Nature to C ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hildren D. David Bond: A Role Model for Children

When I was 9, we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an ea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )amily moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned to Lon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )don in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”

By day, Robert Titter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.2·1·c·n·j·y
“A lot of skills ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all perf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ormances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
25. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
26. What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
27. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”
A He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.

More than 25 years ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural (农村) India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him — so he got on.
That train t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ook him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage (孤儿院). There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
As he writes i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.
Then he found a digita ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station” — and there it was. “And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain” — and there it was. Everything just started to match.
When he stood in fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. “There’s something about me,” he thought — and it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.
In an interview Bri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erley says, “My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear fusion (核聚变). I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.”
21. Why was Brierley separated from his family about 25 years ago
A. He got on a train by mistake.
B. He got lost while playing in the street.
C. He was taken away by a foreigner.
D. He was adopted by an Australian family.
22. How did Brierley find his hometown
A. By analyzing old pictures.
B. By travelling all around India.
C. By studying digital maps.
D. By spreading his story via his book.
23. What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview 2-1-c-n-j-y
A. His love for his mother. B. His reunion with his mother.
C. His long way back home. D. His memory of his hometown.

I have a spec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ial place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orking at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )came a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read ,usin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .
Now, I see m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.
As a novelist, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.

Jenifer Mauer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer, of Edgar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition（学费）, because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is marri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to car her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed（牺牲）to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful.

In the mid-1990s, T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit, however ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers. 21cnjy.com
This is a quick loo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral（葬礼）followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.
Mr Bissell ski ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions. 21·cn·jy·com
8. What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan （ ）
A. His friends ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )' invitation. B. His interest in the country.

I never knew anyone wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o’d grown up in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs. Calloway, our librarian. She ran Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere. If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. I was willing; I would do anything to read.
My mother was not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )afraid of Mrs. Calloway. She wished me to have my own library card to check out books for myself. She took me in to introduce me. “Eudora is nine years old and has my permission to read any book she wants from the shelves, children or adults,” Mother said.
Mrs. Calloway made her ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) own rules about books. You could not take back a book to the library on the same day you’d taken it out; it made no difference to her that you’d read every word in it and needed another to start. You could take out two books at a time and two only. So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute I reached our house, I started to read. I knew this was extreme happiness, knew it at the time.
My mother shared t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )his feeling of mine. Now, I think of her as reading so much of the time while doing something else. I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a game of “Little Red Riding Hood” with my brother’s two daughters. She’d just look up at the right time, long enough to answer — in character — “The better to eat you with, my dear,” and go back to her place in the magazine article.
21. Which of the following best describes Mrs. Calloway
A. Quiet. B. Strict. C. Humorous. D. Considerate.
22. What do the under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined words “this feeling” refer to in the last paragraph
A. Desire to read. B. Love for Mrs. Calloway.
C. Interest in games. D. Fear of the library rules.
23. Where is the text probably from
A. A guidebook. B. An autobiography.
C. A news report. D. A book review.

For the past five ye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript（手稿）consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )intention remains as mysterious（神秘）as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.
Though Smith did g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )et her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.
The work has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when sc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ience—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering（修补）, as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
38. How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript （ ）
A. Confused about the technical terms.
B. Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C. Discouraged by its complex structure.
D. Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
39. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________. （ ）
A. restore old workshops B. understand the craftsmen
C. improve visual effects D. inspire the philosophers
40. Why does the author mention museums （ ）
A. To reveal the beauty of ancient objects.
B. To present the findings of old science.
C. To highlight the importance of antiques.
D. To emphasise the values of hand skills.
41. Which would be the best title for this passage （ ）
A. Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists
B. Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists
D. Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science
Passage 1（2022·湖南·周南中学模拟预测）
It was the fes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tive season. Mom had baked some delicious cookies. Jam tarts were always my favorite and I had enjoyed myself to excess. Moreover, the refrigerator was well-stocked with chocolates and ice-cream so I helped myself to all the goodies. That night I woke up with an unbearable toothache. No amount of aspirin could stop the pain.www-2-1-cnjy-com
When morning arriv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed, I had to do the unavoidable - make an appointment with the dentist. My dental appointment was at 2 pm that afternoon, which was just another four hours away. The thought was enough to kill my interest in everything else. I had butterflies in my stomach. I arrived at the dental clinic an hour before the appointment.
After registering, I w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alked unenthusiastically towards a chair. I did not even bother to look at the other patients. Picking up a few magazines, I tried to read to get rid of my fear and pain, but I could not concentrate. All I was aware of was a terrible pain. The sight of patients coming out from the treatment room, with large pieces of gauze sticking out from their mouths, only seemed to worsen my pain.
One of my New Year re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )solutions was made while I was shifting restlessly in my seat. I vowed never to taste another jam tart or take a chunky bite of chocolate in the future.
When my name was fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nally called, I staggered into the treatment room. I heard the dentist greeting me, but I could not bring myself to respond to his greeting. The sight of the drilling equipment and the hypodermic syringes (皮下注射器) only increased my feelings of sickness. When the dentist asked me to take my seat and then open my mouth, I felt my heart pounding very fast. I was sure that I was going to get a heart attack.
The dentist i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nformed me that it was best to extract the tooth. I nodded and opened my mouth and tried to think of other things. The next minute or so was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I grabbed the dentist’s hands more than once. At first, he was quite taken aback and eyed me suspiciously. Then he warned me that he would have my hands tied if I were to repeat my antics. I did not think that he was joking!
Soon the pain gave wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y to a soothing sensation. When the dentist told me that the pain was all over, I could hardly believe my ears. After paying for the extraction, I walked out of the clinic confidently and headed for the nearest bus stop. I swore that this would be the first and the last time I stepped into a dental clinic.
1．What might be the reason for my not feeling well that night
A．Too much fun during the day. B．An upset stomach.
C．Unrestrained eating of goodies. D．Overuse of aspirin.

A．After a storm comes a calm. B．Diet cures more than doctors.

Passage 2（2022·天津·二模）
My husband is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) more a kid at heart than I am, so he says we need to find souvenirs for the grandkids while on a trip to Savannah.
I can be a kid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at heart, too, but I also can be a mathematician — and even cheap, ugly souvenirs add up quickly when you have 11 grandkids.
Children are of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )one mind on the subject — they like souvenirs and they want them. So we are digging through piles of (成堆的) cheap key fobs (钥匙链), plastic sun hats, chocolate treats that will melt in the heat, and ridiculous T-shirts, finding nothing.
We go with tw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o hats for the boys but are still empty-handed for the nine girls. Then I spot small bracelets (手链) in a rainbow of colors.
“What about these ” I ask the husband.
He turns one over a couple of times and says, “Nice.”
The bracelets a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re made of small beads (珠子) shaped like starfish and turtles. They all look like rock candy, which can be eaten and was a popular souvenir when we were kids. We buy nine and make a mental note: tell the girls not to eat them.
As the clerk rings up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the bracelets, I remember a souvenir I had as a girl. We had gone to the east coast and could choose one thing in a shop to remember our trip by. My sister and I chose what we liked. Mine was a blue plastic soapbox with the lid (盖子) covered in silver glitter (小闪光物) and topped with a pink flamingo (火烈鸟). It was cheap and tacky (俗气的) and I believed it was the loveliest thing a girl could own. It was too beautiful to put soap inside, so it sat in a dresser drawer year after year, slowly aging, yellowing, the glitter fling off. But it is still a reminder of a family trip long ago.
The girls are marrie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d and have families of their own, and those souvenirs are still in the dresser drawers in their old bedrooms.
I have been won over ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to the idea that even cheap and tacky souvenirs may have worth and value. Tiny trinkets (小饰品) say I was thinking of you even though we were apart. That’s always a good investment (投资).
5．What did the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) author think about his husband, when he wanted to buy souvenirs
A．He wanted to remember the trip. B．He missed their grandkids.
C．He wanted to share the joy. D．He was a little childish.
6．Why did the author say she was a mathematician
A．Because she found it expensive to buy 11 souvenirs.
B．Because she was good at choosing souvenirs for kids.
C．Because she ever studied mathematics in university.
D．Because their family was not rich enough to buy souvenirs.
7．What souvenirs did they buy for the grandkids
A．Some cheap ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and ordinary souvenirs. B．Some small bracelets made of beads.
C．Some rock candy w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hich can be eate D．A blue plastic soapbox with a beautiful lid.
8．What did the souvenirs for the girls remind the author of
A．A trip she ever had with her family.
B．A blue plastic soapbox bought by her mother.
C．A cheap but the loveliest souvenir she ever had.
D．A trip when she met her husband and fell in love.
9．What did the author think of the souvenir
A．Even cheap and small souvenirs can be reminders of our family trip.
B．Children are all crazy about buying and collecting souvenirs.
C．Collecting souvenirs may bring in a big sum of money.
D．Buying souvenirs can help you be a kid forever.
Passage 3（2022·上海·复旦附中模拟预测）
In 2004, Pen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Hadow became the first person to trek (跋涉) to the North Pole alone, without being resupplied on the way. That meant swimming through unimaginably cold waters, and risking encounters with polar bears. Just eight months later, he made a similar trip to the South Pole. Now he is back in the Arctic again, preparing for an expedition (远征) he says is even more ambitious. Explorers are confident, driven individuals. They have to be. This time, however, more significance is attached. Pen and two colleagues will set out on a three-month, 1000-kilometre trek to the North Pole, taking detailed measurements of the thickness and density of the ice. Nobody has ever done this before, and he knows the results will be of vital significance to the scientific community. This will be the truest picture yet of what global warming is doing to the ice that covers the polar region.
Pen and his wife, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Mary, live in the country with their two children. “It’s much harder to be away from them this time,” he admits. They were one and five when I last went, and I made a mistake in the way I said goodbye. I thought it would be a good idea to say to my son, “You’re the man of the house now, look after your mum and your sister.” He absolutely took it to heart, asking his mum how she was all the time, but the stress eventually became too much. While it was well intentioned, it was an unfair thing to do.
He is spendin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g these last days before departure preparing his things. “Out on the ice, one is virtually unable to mend things or do anything that isn’t absolutely straightforward,” he says. With him will be Ann Daniels, one of the world’s leading polar explorers, and the photographer, Martin Hartley. They will be supported by a crew of six, flying in supplies. Being part of a team is actually more stressful to someone with his mentality, says Pen, and something else is on his mind too. “I’m going to be 47 on Thursday. I’ve done far less training than I’m comfortable with.” Why “Organisational things always seem more urgent. So I’m almost fearful of what I’m going to ask of myself.”
Pen believes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )his mission reconnects exploration with the search for knowledge that drove previous generations into the unknown. “Making it to the North Pole was a personal ambition,’”he admits, “and of limited value to anyone beyond the polar adventuring community. This time, scientists will profit from the data, and we’re creating a platform in which to engage as many people as possible in what’s happening in the Arctic Ocean. This is important work, and nobody can do it but us,” he says. “Our skills, which are otherwise not that necessary, have become really relevant. Suddenly, we’re socially useful again.”
10．In the first ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )paragraph, what do we learn about Pen Hadow’s opinion of the new expedition
A．He feels certain that it will be stressful.
B．He is aware of the huge importance of its aims.
C．He thinks it may be harder than his previous journeys.
D．He is less than confident of the scientific work it involves.
11．What does “took it to heart” (in paragraph 2) mean
A．He started to feel unwell. B．He memorised his father’s words.
C．He was afraid o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f the responsibility. D．He carried out his father’s words carefully.
12．What is worrying Pen about the new expedition
A．Whether he will be mentally prepared
B．Whether he will still be fit enough to take part.
C．Whether the arrangements he has made will turn out well.
D．Whether the equipment will work properly in icy conditions.
13．When he compares th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e new expedition to his previous ones, Pen feels ________.
A．uncertain if it will collect information.
B．doubtful about its long-term usefulness
C．pleased that more people will benefit from it
D．relieved that the general public will be more supportive
Passage 4（2022·北京通州·模拟预测）
My home is in Dem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onton near a river valley. It is a beautiful area that has been made into a park with meters of hiking trails (小路) along the river.
One day I discov ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ered a trail I had never seen before. It was extremely steep and very slippery as it was covered with ice. I was alone at the time and even though I was terrified, I still wanted to go for a walk. Just this thought made my heart beat faster. I shook, not from the cold, although it was probably around -15℃, but from the fear. I knew I had to do it.
I moved forward ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )slowly and put one foot on the trail, then the other. Thus I continued, one foot in front of the other I went very slowly down the trail, shaking with every step. I was sweating despite my cold. I had no idea how long it would take me to travel along the trail, but I didn’t care. I just wanted to conquer my fear.
At last, I succeeded! ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )At least that’s how I felt. I nearly ran down the trail. Well, not exactly ran, but it felt like that compare with my extremely slow speed in the beginning.
Maybe you do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n’t think this is much of a story, but I just want to tell you that we never know what’s around the corner. If you compare this story to life, you’ll see that we have no idea where life is going to take us, or how many easy or difficult trails there are to choose from until we make a choice!

One year before, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at age 18, Leszyeski had aged out of foster care(寄养中心), having been in the system since she was four when her single mother was no longer able to care for her. Leszyeski was now enrolled in college hoping to become a doctor. And the only furniture she had in her apartment was an air mattress with a hole in it.21*cnjy*com
Then she learned abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut an organization Chairity. The organization provides furniture and household goods for young adults who have left foster care. Leszyeski reached out to Charity, a nonprofit formed by 23-year-old Maria Paparella.
Paparella first b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecame aware of foster care in elementary school when her parents were considering adopting a child. The plan didn't work out, but Paparella often found herself thinking about that child. “I'm really close with my family, and I just couldn't imagine being completely on my own at 18,” she says.
At 16, Paparella v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )isited Summit County Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to understand what aging out looked like. One of her questions was “What's not being met for these young people ” Near the top of the list was furniture. “That struck home,” says Paparella. The idea of “moving into an apartment without a bed to sleep on or a sofa to sit on” pulled at her heartstrings.
Paparella contacted ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) her parents' friends, asking if they had spare furniture to donate. A local furniture store offered free ware-house space and its delivery truck. Watching the recipients' faces when they received a bed, a couch—whatever—was amazing. Paparella remembers delivering a gold lamp to a woman and watching her polish it lovingly, getting rid of dirt and fingerprints.
Today, Chairity has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )given furniture to nearly 200 young adults in homes across six Ohio counties. Paparella is convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and confidence. Leszyeski agrees.“It makes me feel like I'm not different from other people. My whole life, I've felt abnormal,”she says,“Now, I feel normal.”
18．Which can b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )est describe Leszyeski's life after leaving foster care
A．Tough but hopeful. B．Poor and aimless.
C．Wealthy but boring. D．Independent and carefree.

A．To get some finan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cial benefits from it. B．To help those aging out of foster care.
C．To aid the n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eedy couple adopt a child. D．To ask people to donate some couches.
20．When was Paparella most touched at the age of 16
A．Living without parents. B．Moving into a new house.
C．Getting free truck delivery. D．Visiting a foster care center.
21．What does Leszyeski think of Chairity
A．It changes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) young adults' whole life. B．It brings confidence to the recipients.
C．It has helped ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) lots of homeless people. D．It makes people different from others.
Passage 6（2022·江苏省泰州市教育局模拟预测）
Mitchel Wu creates ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )interesting stories using toy photography, a relatively new art form. He’s taken photos for an impressive list of clients, including Disney, Marvel, Hot Wheels, and Hasbro. There’s no limit to creativity, and Mitchel proves it through his unique work, providing a one-of-a-kind experience for clients worldwide.
While toy photography ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dates back to the 1800s, it didn’t gain popularity until the 1970s. Around this time, a man by the name of David Levinthal became the father of miniature（微型画）photography.
Over time, it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )evolved into a global phenomenon mostly involving action figures and pop culture imagery. It’s a diverse art form containing many themes and story ideas. Many artists draw inspiration from popular sources such as Disney movies, Star Wars, and Pokemon characters. With toy photography, the viewers, completely immersed in the story, feel like they’re actually there, in a different land.
“For me, toy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )photography is really all about storytelling,” Mitchel says. “Storytelling is what makes an image impactful, so my goal is to have my image just stop you in your tracks and make you think ‘Wow, what’s going on here ’”
Mitchel was a wedding ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) photographer in the beginning. In 2015, he realized that he needed to find something else. Right around the same time, his nephew who photographed toys as a hobby said, “Uncle Mitch, why don’t you bring your camera and shoot some toys ”
Once he tried it o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut, he got hooked immediately. His nephew lent him a couple of Stormtrooper action figures, and from the very first click of the shutter（快门）, he found it was something incredible.
What began as a h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )obby quickly became a new-found career for Mitchel. It’s yet another story that motivates us to pursue our dreams because you never know where they’ll take you.
It seems the onl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y limits are the ones you create for yourself. Mitchel tries to keep breaking those limits and learn new techniques in his exciting career path. His story shows that you can create your path in life by following your heart and using your imagination.
22．Which of the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ollowing is true according to the first three paragraphs
A．David Levinthal founded toy photography.
B．Toy photography is by all means a new art form.
C．Mitchel helps promote toy photography around the world.
D．Toy photography was widely recognized more than 200 years ago.
23．What does the underlined word “immersed” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Involved. B．Applied. C．Located. D．Stuck.
24．What does toy photography mean to Mitchel
A．It brings him a great fortune.
B．It only serves to limit his creativity.
C．It is a way of telling his own stories.
D．It enables him to follow his new passion.
25．What message does Mitchel’s story convey
A．Great hopes make great men.
B．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C．The longest journey begins with the first step.
D．Behind one minute on stage is ten years of practice.21*cnjy*com
Passage 7 （2022·福建省福州第一中学三模）
It was a cold Saturda ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y night in February. Some 200 New Yorkers carefully made their way to the reservoir (水库) in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the magical snowy owl, who had touched down in the park the week before in what was reported as the first visit there by the species in more than 130 years.
Except for a few ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cited screams from children, people were quiet—patiently awaiting the owl’s arrival at the reservoir’s north gatehouse. The snowy owl did not disappoint. She flew down from the darkness and surveyed the water and the people holding phones and cameras before taking off into the night to the applause of her many fans. They simply wanted to see this lovely creature whose improbable appearance seemed to signify hope after the lockdown
New Yorkers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )who had long taken Central Park for granted felt a renewed love for this rectangle of green in the heart of the big city and, of course, its amazing wildlife. That the park is a beautiful and essential refuge is something that humans have only come to fully appreciate during these recent times of uncertainty.
Central Park was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )originally planned and constructed during another difficult time in the nation’s history—in the years before and during the American Civil War. Unlike many European parks that had originally been built for the aristocracy (贵族), Central Park was designed as a public space. In its chief architect Frederick Law Olmsted’s words, the poor and rich alike could “easily go there after their day’s work is done” and “stroll for an hour, seeing, hearing, and feeling nothing of the noise of the streets.”
As spring turns into s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ummer, we see people sitting on the grass or benches—catching some sun, having family picnics, or tapping away on their laptops and iPads. Just being in proximity to other people in Central Park gave us a sense of community—the sense that we would somehow persevere.
26．What did people do in Central Park on that Saturday night 【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
A．They cheered for each other B．They paid their first visit
C．They came for a rare sight D．They appreciated a water event
27．What does the author mainly intend to do in Paragraph 4
A．Give some examples. B．Make a comparison
C．Introduce a new opinion. D．Add background information
28．What do the underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned words “in proximity to” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．close to B．free from
C．at a distance from D in comparison with【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
29．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Find Refuge in Central Park
B．Take Your Breath by Snow Owl
C．Trace Central Park to difficult times
D．Meet an improbable “visitor” in person
Passage 8（2022·河北唐山·三模）
From the age of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )6, Samirah Horton was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates for the things that made her different — her size and her sharp voice. Rather than giving up, Horton decided to pick up a microphone and make sure other children knew they weren’t alone. “I didn’t want other kids to go through that experience,” says Horton, “especially at a very young age.” Now, alongside attending eighth grade classes, she’s also building an anti-bullying platform to reach students across the country.
For as long as Horton ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )remembers, she's felt a special connection to music. She remembers her mother always having the radio on, and her father teaching her how to deejay (主持) . Music gives her unlimited power to do the duty. “It’s music that fuels my mission, allowing me to spread this important message,”she says. Now as the Kid DJ for her hometown team, you can hear anything from the hip-hop classics to songs of her own, including the anti-bullying song “No You Won’t Bully Me”.
Her message has reache ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d beyond the DJ set. At 8. Horton turned one of her songs into a 26-page picture book, which has reached thousands of people across America. In the book, she references the over 160,000 students who miss school daily for fear of being bullied.
Horton isn’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sure exactly what the future holds, but for now, she’s positive about leading her school’s student government. “I don’t know exactly what I’ll be doing, but I know I’ll be making a positive influence on the world,” she says. She’s already on her way, but her biggest achievement in her own eyes is persuading others not to doubt themselves along the way. “Don’t care what anybody tells you,” she says. “You are never too young to make a change.”
30．Why was Horton bullied
A．Because of her age. B．Because of her weight.
C．Because of her grades. D．Because of her hobby.

32．What can we learn from Horton’s story
A．Fear invites danger. B．No voice is too small.
C．Success is peace of mind. D．Imperfections are beauty.

D．An Anti-Bullying Advocate
Passage 9（2022·福建厦门·模拟预测）
“You need a guide, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )” says Mike May, 68, who was blinded at the age of 3. May started skiing at 27, on a beginner track, holding onto a guide’s poles — in what he calls “horse and buggy style.” Within days, he was unattached and following his guide’s voice down the hill. “It was extremely liberating.” says May, who went on to win multiple medals in the world competitions now known as the Paralympics, and hit 65 miles per hour to set the world record for speed skiing by a completely blind skier.
May suggests using on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly guides who lead rather than follow you. You want a skilled skier with a loud voice. Once on the track, keep 4 to 15 feet between you and your guide. A good guide will use rhythm to indicate spatial directions; a long turn might sound like “Tuuuuurn left. Gooo, gooo.” Listen for other noises too: A blip (哔哔声) in you guide’s voice might mean a bump ahead; if their skis start scraping (刮擦), prepare for ice; sudden quiet indicates powder.
Always wear a bright ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly colored vest that identifies you as a blind skier clearly. Still, don’t assume others will take in its meaning; May thinks that fewer than 50 percent do. The biggest barrier for blind skiers is often transportation to the mountain. In college, May sometimes hitchhiked (搭便车) to the Sierra Nevads, hours away. He doesn’t recommend it. “Hitch-hiking with a seeing-eye dog and your ski equipment is not a simple task,” he says.
Ski lifts can be t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ricky, but you can always ask the operator to slow the lift down if you feel nervous. At the top of the run, ask your guide to give you a play-by-play so you know what’s coming. “I always like to take the same run over and over again,” May says. “That way I get a mental picture and can start to relax and really open up to the experience.”
34．What do we know about Mike May from paragraph 1
A．He trained alone. B．He was born blind.
C．He fell in love with horse riding. D．He broke world record.
35．What kind of sound might indicate an icy track
A．The sound of sudden silence. B．The sound of scraping.
C．A blip in the guide’s voice. D．A dragging sound like “gooo”.
36．What troubles blind skiers most according to May
A．The colorful dressing.
B．The ignorance of others.
C．The identification of blind skiers.
D．The transportation to the skiing spot.
37．What can we learn from May’s story
A．Out of sight, out of mind.
B．Storms make trees take deeper roots.
C．An honest man’s word is as good as his bond.
D．From the father comes honour, from the mother, comfort.【版权所有：21教育】
