What do a student in China, an office worker in the UK and an astronaut in space all have in common They all eat instant noodles. And they’re not alone — over 100 billion servings of instant noodles _____13_____ (consume) globally each year, making them one of the world’s most successful industrial foods. But how did this happen
_____14_____ (put)simply, they’re cheap to produce and cheap to buy, which was exactly what their creator intended. Momofuku Ando, a Japanese entrepreneur, spent roughly a year _____15_____ (perfect) the recipe just after the Second World War. He wanted to make something similar to traditional Japanese ramen noodles, while using the wheat flour given to Japan as food aid by the US government. His creation was instantly popular, _____16_____ (play) a part in Japan’s post-war economic rise. Even in the year 2000-according to a poll by the Fuji Research Institute-instant noodles were voted Japan’s most successful invention, ahead of high-speed trains, laptops and karaoke.

According to the World’s Instant Noodles Association, China, Indonesia, Vietnam and India-in that order-all consumed more instant noodles than Japan in 2021. Instant noodles’ popularity abroad is in part due to how easy they are _____18_____ (adapt) to local tastes. In Thailand, for example, you can get green curry flavor, while in Mexico the noodles are garnished with lime and salsa. And _____19_____ seems that consumers have grown to expect innovation. Nissin, the food company founded by Ando, launches over 300 products yearly, just in Japan.
Instant noodles have their critics, too. Their rise in popularity has come at an environmental cost—they’re made with palm oil, contributing to deforestation, and their packaging is plastic. And _____20_____ they are a hot, tasty and filling meal, instant noodles don’t have much nutritional value, and include high levels of salt and fat. Nevertheless, instant noodles are undoubtedly lifesavers in emergency or extreme situations.

China decided it could not afford to repeat such an incident. Even though China had a ____27____ agreement with Russia to use GLONASS for basic navigation, China persisted with its plan to develop BeiDou.

Section B
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Every April I am troubled by the same concern -- that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing gray. My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snowfall when I first came to Maine 15 years ago. "Just wait," a neighbor advised. "You’ll wake up one morning and spring will just be here."
And look, on May 3 that year I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of flipping a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green. Leaves had unfolded and daffodils were fighting their way heavenward.
Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree’s dark twisted branches stretch out in unpruned（未经修剪的） abandon. Each spring it blossoms so freely that the air becomes filled with the scent of apple.
Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out with pruner to remove a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches(门廊). These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke to, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens.
My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. "You’re not cutting it down, are you " she asked anxiously. Another neighbor frowned as I cut off a branch. "Don’t kill it, now," he warned. Soon half the neighborhood had joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people’s names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder. I couldn’t help recalling Robert Frost’s words:
The trees that have it in their pent-up buds To darken nature and be summer woods One thaw led to another. Just the other day I saw one of my neighbors at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then, he looked at me and said, "We need to prune that apple tree again."
46. By saying that “my spirits ebb” (Para. 1), the author means that _____.
A. he feels relieved B. he feels blue
C. he is surprised D. he is tired
47. The apple tree mentioned in the passage is most likely to _____.
A. be regarded as a delight in the neighborhood
B. have been abandoned by its original owner
C. have been neglected by everyone in the community
D. be appealing only to the author
48. According to Para. 4, why did the neighbors open their windows and step onto their porches
A. They were surprised that someone unknown was pruning the tree.
B. They wanted to prevent the author from pruning the tree
C. They were concerned about the safety of the tree
D. They wanted to get to know the author
49. It can be inferred that the author’s neighbor mentioned in the last paragraph most cared about _____.
A. when spring would arrive B. how to pass the long winter
C. the neighborhood gathering D. the pruning of the apple tree
B
As we traveled around the U.S. reporting on the development of towns and cities, we always made the local library an early stop. The traditional impression of libraries as places for quiet reading, research, and borrowing books is outdated. There are three areas where libraries work as energetic centers of America’s towns: technology, education, and community.
Technology
Many people rely on libraries for their computer and Internet use. According to a 2015 Pew Research Center report, more than a quarter of Americans who had visited a public library in the past year had used a computer, the Internet, or a WiFi connection there.
More ambitiously, libraries have also begun offering “makerspaces” shared workspaces that provide technological tools and are designed to facilitate teamwork. I recently toured the makerspace at Washington, D.C.’s flagship Martin Luther King Jr. Library. A group of hobbyists, businesspeople, and a mom with her homeschooled preteens were learning about tools like 3-D printers, laser cutters, and wire benders. Miguel Figueroa, who directs the Center for the Future of Libraries at the American Library Association, says makerspaces are part of libraries’ expanded mission to be places where people can not only consume knowledge, but create new knowledge.
Education
In my conversations with librarians around the country, the most urgent topic was the education of America’s youngest children. Patrick Losinski, the CEO of the Columbus, Ohio, metropolitan library system, told me that when a 5-year-old walks into kindergarten, takes a book, and holds it upside down, “you know there is no reading readiness there.” I heard of many projects like Books for Babies, which is run by Friends of the Library in tiny Winters, California: Volunteers offer new babies a box with a T-shirt, a cap, two books, and an application to join the library.
In Charleston, West Virginia, despite recent funding losses that severely cut library staff, librarians still provide materials to teachers all across the 900-square-mile county. In Columbus, Mississippi, the library gives high-school students access to Civic War-era documents slave sale records, court cases, and secrets of the community making real the history of their state.
Community
The library in West Hartford, Connecticut, offers conversational-English classes for immigrants. The library in Seattle provides citizenship classes. The library in Duluth, Minnesota, has a seed-lending program for local gardeners. In libraries, I have practiced yoga, drunk in coffee shops, and watched youngsters with laptops arrangetheir virtual start-up offices at long reading-room tables.
50. What is the passage mainly about
A. How libraries are designed. B. How libraries have developed.
C. How libraries function in new ways. D. How libraries become a popular spot.
51. According to the passage, what can people do in libraries now
A. Make T-shirts. B. Work together.
C. Visit exhibitions. D. Publish books.
52. What can be learned about libraries in Columbus
A. They run short of funds. B. They help children learn history.
C. They provide children with 3-D printers. D. They offer readers sports facilities.
C
A modern masterpiece from one of Italy’s most acclaimed authors, My Brilliant Friend is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted story about two friends, Elena and Lila. Elena Ferrante’s unique style lends itself perfectly to a detailed portrait of these two women that is also the story of a nation and a touching thinking on the nature of friendship. The story begins in the 1950s, in a poor but exciting neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples. Growing up on these tough streets the two girls learn to rely on each other ahead of anyone or anything else. As they grow, as their paths repeatedly split apart and meet again, Elena and Lila remain best friends whose respective destinies are reflected in the other. They are likewise the mirror of a nation undergoing momentous change.
Ferrante is the author of three previous works of critically acclaimed fiction: The Days of Abandonment, Troubling Love, and The Lost Daughter. With this novel, the first in a quartet, she proves herself to be one of Italy’s great storytellers. She has given her readers a masterfully plotted page-turner, abundant and generous in its narrative details and characterizations, that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight her many fans and win new readers to her fiction.
As “Ferrante Fever” swept the English-speaking literary world, you might have mistaken it for a phenomenon exclusive to women readers. Elena Ferrante’s four Neapolitan Novels, translated from the Italian, arrived on our shores in covers of light pinks and blues, with introduction that promised a fascinating narration of female friendship, ideally marketed for moms and their daughters alike. So well-received was this focus on the sisterhood of the books-perhaps because we often limit women to writing about “women’s issues” — that the series’ historical sweep, its intense criticism of capitalism and its cruel violence, did not always get their due.
This is likely to change as the Ferrante craze reaches its natural peak: an acclaimed HBO series that doesn’t steer away from her socialist themes. No doubt quite a few men are on the bandwagon already. While they are indeed thrilled by the societal scope of Ferrante’s narrative, they are also learning something about the vitality of feminine closeness and identity.
53. In My Brilliant Friend, Elena and Lila ________.
A. represent the country’s spirit B. are interdependent on each other
C. stay together throughout their life D. are coming from different background
54. The writing focus on girls’ relationship may overshadow the description of ________.
A. motherhood B. capitalistic cruelty
C. male friendship D. domestic violence
55 What is likely to change as the Ferrante craze intensifies
A. That the book switches to socialist theme.
B That the readership is mainly limited to women.
C. People’s view towards girls’ closeness and identity.
D. That the bandwagons are increasingly popular among boys.
56. What can be inferred from this article
A. The book comes with a book turning device to help reading easily.
B. HBO changed the book’s theme in the adaptation of the screenplay.
C. Elena Ferrante’s quartet gain wide appeal both in women and in men.
D. The character Elena in the book is a self-portrait of the author Elena Ferrante.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
How good are you at maths Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal, to calculating your household bills. _____57_____ It can seem daunting, but this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability. _____58_____ Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be more likely to be affected.
The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is critical, especially at a young age”. _____59_____
Writing for BBC Future David Robson says “It’s not clear why maths arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer — there’s no room for bluffing (吓唬) — might make you more worried about underperforming. _____60_____ Psychologists have been trying to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their hold on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
A. The problem really starts in childhood, at school.
B. She thinks the key is to get people, especially women, who love teaching maths to children.
C. Since math is a subject of fixed answers, children are often scared of giving the wrong answer.
D. And once we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
E. More often than not, children aren’t aware of how they can practice basic math outside of school and homework.
F. But many dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and feel a sense of worry and confusion.

And _____20_____ they are a hot, tasty and filling meal, instant noodles don’t have much nutritional value, and include high levels of salt and fat. Nevertheless, instant noodles are undoubtedly lifesavers in emergency or extreme situations.
【答案】13. are consumed

A
Every April I am troubled by the same concern -- that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing gray. My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snowfall when I first came to Maine 15 years ago. "Just wait," a neighbor advised. "You’ll wake up one morning and spring will just be here."
And look, on May 3 that year I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of flipping a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green. Leaves had unfolded and daffodils were fighting their way heavenward.
Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree’s dark twisted branches stretch out in unpruned（未经修剪的） abandon. Each spring it blossoms so freely that the air becomes filled with the scent of apple.
Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out with pruner to remove a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches(门廊). These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke to, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens.
My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. "You’re not cutting it down, are you " she asked anxiously. Another neighbor frowned as I cut off a branch. "Don’t kill it, now," he warned. Soon half the neighborhood had joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people’s names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder. I couldn’t help recalling Robert Frost’s words:
The trees that have it in their pent-up buds To darken nature and be summer woods One thaw led to another. Just the other day I saw one of my neighbors at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then, he looked at me and said, "We need to prune that apple tree again."
46. By saying that “my spirits ebb” (Para. 1), the author means that _____.
A. he feels relieved B. he feels blue
C. he is surprised D. he is tired
47. The apple tree mentioned in the passage is most likely to _____.
A. be regarded as a delight in the neighborhood
B. have been abandoned by its original owner
C. have been neglected by everyone in the community
D be appealing only to the author
48. According to Para. 4, why did the neighbors open their windows and step onto their porches
A. They were surprised that someone unknown was pruning the tree.
B. They wanted to prevent the author from pruning the tree
C. They were concerned about the safety of the tree
D. They wanted to get to know the author
49. It can be inferred that the author’s neighbor mentioned in the last paragraph most cared about _____.
A. when spring would arrive B. how to pass the long winter
C. the neighborhood gathering D. the pruning of the apple tree
【答案】46. B 47. A 48. C 49. C

As we traveled around the U.S. reporting on the development of towns and cities, we always made the local library an early stop. The traditional impression of libraries as places for quiet reading, research, and borrowing books is outdated. There are three areas where libraries work as energetic centers of America’s towns: technology, education, and community.
Technology
Many people rely on libraries for their computer and Internet use. According to a 2015 Pew Research Center report, more than a quarter of Americans who had visited a public library in the past year had used a computer, the Internet, or a WiFi connection there.
More ambitiously, libraries have also begun offering “makerspaces” shared workspaces that provide technological tools and are designed to facilitate teamwork. I recently toured the makerspace at Washington, D.C.’s flagship Martin Luther King Jr. Library. A group of hobbyists, businesspeople, and a mom with her homeschooled preteens were learning about tools like 3-D printers, laser cutters, and wire benders. Miguel Figueroa, who directs the Center for the Future of Libraries at the American Library Association, says makerspaces are part of libraries’ expanded mission to be places where people can not only consume knowledge, but create new knowledge.
Education
In my conversations with librarians around the country, the most urgent topic was the education of America’s youngest children. Patrick Losinski, the CEO of the Columbus, Ohio, metropolitan library system, told me that when a 5-year-old walks into kindergarten, takes a book, and holds it upside down, “you know there is no reading readiness there.” I heard of many projects like Books for Babies, which is run by Friends of the Library in tiny Winters, California: Volunteers offer new babies a box with a T-shirt, a cap, two books, and an application to join the library.
In Charleston, West Virginia, despite recent funding losses that severely cut library staff, librarians still provide materials to teachers all across the 900-square-mile county. In Columbus, Mississippi, the library gives high-school students access to Civic War-era documents slave sale records, court cases, and secrets of the community making real the history of their state.
Community
The library in West Hartford, Connecticut, offers conversational-English classes for immigrants. The library in Seattle provides citizenship classes. The library in Duluth, Minnesota, has a seed-lending program for local gardeners. In libraries, I have practiced yoga, drunk in coffee shops, and watched youngsters with laptops arrangetheir virtual start-up offices at long reading-room tables.
50. What is the passage mainly about
A. How libraries are designed. B. How libraries have developed.
C. How libraries function in new ways. D. How libraries become a popular spot.
51. According to the passage, what can people do in libraries now
A. Make T-shirts. B. Work together.
C. Visit exhibitions. D. Publish books.
52. What can be learned about libraries in Columbus
A. They run short of funds. B. They help children learn history.
C. They provide children with 3-D printers. D. They offer readers sports facilities.
【答案】50. C 51. B 52. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了图书馆在技术、教育和社区三个领域发挥的作用。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段末句“There are three areas where libraries work as energetic centers of America’s towns: technology, education, and community. (图书馆作为美国城镇的活力中心在三个领域发挥着作用：技术、教育和社区。)”可知，这篇文章主要是介绍图书馆在技术、教育和社区三个领域发挥的作用。故选C。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段首句“More ambitiously, libraries have also begun offering “makerspaces” shared workspaces that provide technological tools and are designed to facilitate teamwork. (更有野心的是，图书馆也开始提供“创客空间”共享工作空间，提供技术工具，旨在促进团队合作。)”可知，人们在图书馆可以团队合作。故选B。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段末句“In Columbus, Mississippi, the library gives high-school students access to Civic War-era documents slave sale records, court cases, and secrets of the community making real the history of their state. (在密西西比州的哥伦布市，图书馆为高中生提供了访问内战时期的文件，奴隶买卖记录，法庭案件和社区秘密，使他们的州的历史成为现实。)”可知，在哥伦布市的图书馆，可以帮助学生们了解他们州的历史。故选B。

A modern masterpiece from one of Italy’s most acclaimed authors, My Brilliant Friend is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted story about two friends, Elena and Lila. Elena Ferrante’s unique style lends itself perfectly to a detailed portrait of these two women that is also the story of a nation and a touching thinking on the nature of friendship. The story begins in the 1950s, in a poor but exciting neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples. Growing up on these tough streets the two girls learn to rely on each other ahead of anyone or anything else. As they grow, as their paths repeatedly split apart and meet again, Elena and Lila remain best friends whose respective destinies are reflected in the other. They are likewise the mirror of a nation undergoing momentous change.
Ferrante is the author of three previous works of critically acclaimed fiction: The Days of Abandonment, Troubling Love, and The Lost Daughter. With this novel, the first in a quartet, she proves herself to be one of Italy’s great storytellers. She has given her readers a masterfully plotted page-turner, abundant and generous in its narrative details and characterizations, that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight her many fans and win new readers to her fiction.
As “Ferrante Fever” swept the English-speaking literary world, you might have mistaken it for a phenomenon exclusive to women readers. Elena Ferrante’s four Neapolitan Novels, translated from the Italian, arrived on our shores in covers of light pinks and blues, with introduction that promised a fascinating narration of female friendship, ideally marketed for moms and their daughters alike. So well-received was this focus on the sisterhood of the books-perhaps because we often limit women to writing about “women’s issues” — that the series’ historical sweep, its intense criticism of capitalism and its cruel violence, did not always get their due.
This is likely to change as the Ferrante craze reaches its natural peak: an acclaimed HBO series that doesn’t steer away from her socialist themes. No doubt quite a few men are on the bandwagon already. While they are indeed thrilled by the societal scope of Ferrante’s narrative, they are also learning something about the vitality of feminine closeness and identity.
53. In My Brilliant Friend, Elena and Lila ________.
A. represent the country’s spirit B. are interdependent on each other
C. stay together throughout their life D. are coming from different background
54. The writing focus on girls’ relationship may overshadow the description of ________.
A. motherhood B. capitalistic cruelty
C. male friendship D. domestic violence
55. What is likely to change as the Ferrante craze intensifies
A. That the book switches to socialist theme.
B. That the readership is mainly limited to women.
C. People’s view towards girls’ closeness and identity.
D. That the bandwagons are increasingly popular among boys.
56. What can be inferred from this article
A. The book comes with a book turning device to help reading easily.
B. HBO changed the book’s theme in the adaptation of the screenplay.
C. Elena Ferrante’s quartet gain wide appeal both in women and in men.
D. The character Elena in the book is a self-portrait of the author Elena Ferrante.
【答案】53. B 54. B 55. C 56. C

【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This is likely to change as the Ferrante craze reaches its natural peak: an acclaimed HBO series that doesn’t steer away from her socialist themes.

Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
How good are you at maths Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal, to calculating your household bills. _____57_____ It can seem daunting, but this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability. _____58_____ Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be more likely to be affected.
The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is critical, especially at a young age”. _____59_____
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear why maths arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer — there’s no room for bluffing (吓唬) — might make you more worried about underperforming. _____60_____ Psychologists have been trying to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their hold on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
A. The problem really starts in childhood, at school.
B. She thinks the key is to get people, especially women, who love teaching maths to children.
C. Since math is a subject of fixed answers, children are often scared of giving the wrong answer.
D. And once we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
E. More often than not, children aren’t aware of how they can practice basic math outside of school and homework.
F. But many dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and feel a sense of worry and confusion.
