【答案】11. A 12. A 13. C
【解析】
【原文】W: How do you advise people to stay fit and healthy, Rashmi
M: Well, I was reading a scientific journal just this morning saying that working out at the gym is actually less effective than going for a walk regularly in the park.
W: Really Why did it say that
M: I think the idea is that if you do really intensive exercise, then you’re more likely to reward yourself with a bigger snack at the end of the session. But if you just stretch your legs often or take regular gentle exercise, it doesn’t have the same effect.
W: So what do you do You’re in pretty good shape.
M: Well, I try not to pay too much attention to my weight. I’ve never been a fan of the gym and I never go for a run — I find it boring. But recently I’ve got into road cycling. Every couple of weeks a few of us go out for a ride in the countryside — 40 or 50 kilometers. The scenery’s beautiful and it’s a great way to enjoy nature and stay fit at the same time.

【解析】
【原文】W: OK, Jack, so tell me about yourself.
M: OK. I’m 24 years old and I’m a very active person. I don’t just mean that I play a lot of sports — although I do run and go to the gym several times a week. What I mean is that … I’m a person who likes to get involved in things. I’ve organized a lot of social events in my life. A recent one was against the building of a new car park in the center of my hometown. And that was successful actually; we got it stopped or at least delayed. So, as I was saying, I’m a firm believer in taking action.
W: And your current situation
M: Well, I graduated from university two years ago with a degree in journalism, but I haven’t been able to find a job that really suited me. To be honest, newspapers aren’t an easy world to break into, unless you have the right contacts. So instead, I decided on a fresh approach, which was to seek out companies I admire, basically any company or organization that’s working for some positive good in society. And that’s how I found you. And my hope is that when I find the right company, they’ll see that I have the right attitude and the right skills, so that we can both benefit from working together, um, yeah …

19. What did the speaker’s father suggest he do
A. Try to change Giles.
B. Accept differences.
C. Pay attention to details.
20. What is the speaker’s attitude towards Giles now
A. Appreciative. B. Impatient. C. Critical.
【答案】18. C 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】M: I think the most valuable lesson anyone has ever taught me was when I was about 25. I was getting really frustrated with a guy I was working with. We’d set up our own web design business and Giles — that was the name of my business partner — would always get lost in little details and take ages making a first design to show the customer. And my dad said, “Look, you can’t change other people; you can only change the way you behave towards them.” So I accepted that was just Giles’s way — that he loved the little details — and I tried to think of it as a positive thing, and we’ve got on so much better ever since and worked much more effectively. So that’s become a sort of guiding principle for me in life — not to try to change others — and I have to say, it’s been very helpful to me.

For many travelers these days, finding a way to make travel more meaningful has become a top priority. They are increasingly pursuing journeys that include time to volunteer, work on a conservation project, protect endangered animals or to do other activities that allow for giving back while exploring a new part of the world. Here are some opportunities that combine travel with doing good deeds.
The Azores
The trips offer the opportunity to work on carefully selected projects alongside famous scientists while also enjoying encounters with some of the world’s most fascinating sea creatures in water. It allows participants to join a research team in the Azores that is studying the animals to support future conservation of the species. Advanced diving experience is required.
Red Sea, Egypt
Combining an opportunity for world-class diving with being part of an important research effort conducted by Hurghada Environmental Protection and Conservation Association, the seven-night trip includes learning how to gather water data with state-of-the-art scientific equipment and conducting onboard and underwater experiments.
Australia
Explore Queensland, Australia, while also supporting a registered charity that rescues farm animals from abuse (虐待), neglect, and situations where they’re in danger. Participants help with daily cleaning of barns (牲口圈) and cages, feeding, health checks, light repair, monitoring animals’ movements, and intensive care of ill, old and baby animals. The experience includes free accommodations with Wi Fi and a swimming pool.
Romania
Work with bears at Romania’s largest bear sanctuary (庇护所), a place that was created as a heaven for bears that have been abused. Located in the Carpathian Mountains, the sanctuary needs volunteers to help with preparing food, monitoring animal well-being and leading conservation tours. The sanctuary is home to 84 bears, with 20 more due to be rescued.

B
Standing in my office 25 years ago was a young astronomer. She had an incredible request that my team revise our software to do something beyond our design, and risk breaking it. All to carry out a seemingly impossible experiment — to prove that a massive black hole existed in our Milky Way. My initial “no way” gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but unshakable determination. It was my first encounter with Andrea Ghez, one of the winners of Nobel Prize in Physics 2020.
For 25 years Andrea has been searching for evidence of a black hole at the heart of our galaxy. But the work has been defined by technology. Scientific equipment was never designed to meet Andrea's need — analyzing the image data at superspeed. But she was not to give in and our team just made the changes. And it worked! It was extremely hard and time-consuming, but Andrea persisted. Out of that effort came the first evidence of stars orbiting a black hole.
Andrea is fond of owing her success to the interaction between astronomers and engineers responding to the challenge. Science questions generate new technology and new technology generates new science. Andrea has always pioneered in this virtuous cycle (良性循环). She created UCLA Galactic Centre to promote research and technical developments.
Today, Andrea received the highest scientific recognition. But as she would be the very first to knowledge, this success represents the combined efforts of so many. From the theoretical prediction Albert Einstein, through the amazing telescopes and observatory locations, to the technical workers it is the product of thousands.
But in my eyes, it was just one person that had the persistence and focus to make the idea happen that person is my friend and longtime colleague the one who refused to take "no" for an answer Andrea Ghez.
24. Why did Andrea Ghez pay the first visit to the author
A. To appreciate a software design. B. To demand a software revision.
C. To conduct an astronomy research. D. To promote a high-tech product.
25. What has Andrea Ghez been persisting in
A. Carrying out outer space experiment. B. Developing superspeed equipment.
C. Looking for evidence of a black hole. D. Searching for new stars in the galaxy.
26. Which of the following best describes Andrea Ghezi
A. Pioneering and appreciative. B. Artistic and reserved.
C. Determined and disciplined. D. Innovative and controlling.
27. What does the author think of Andrea Ghez
A. Average B. Fashionable.
C. Troublesome. D. Admirable.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述获得2020年诺贝尔物理学奖的Andrea Ghez在研究道路上孜孜不倦和坚持不懈的精神。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“Standing in my office 25 years ago was a young astronomer. She had an incredible request that my team revise our software to do something beyond our design, and risk breaking it. ”(25年前,站在我办公室的是一位年轻的天文学家。她提出了一个令人难以置信的要求,要求我的团队修改我们的软件,以完成我们设计之外的事情,并冒着破坏它的风险。)可知,第一次Andrea Ghez拜访作者是要求作者修改软件。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“For 25 years Andrea has been searching for evidence of a black hole at the heart of our galaxy. ”(Andrea Ghez在25年来一直在寻找银河系中心存在黑洞的证据。)可知,Andrea Ghez坚信银河系有黑洞并在找证据。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My initial "no way" gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but unshakable determination.”(面对她欢快但不可动摇的决心,我最初的“不可能”渐渐让步了。);第二段“ But she was not to give in and our team just made the changes. ”(但她并没有屈服,我们的团队只是做出了改变。)可知她是一个有决心,意志坚定的人。且由文章第二段“Scientific equipment was never designed to meet Andrea's need—analyzing the image data at superspeed. But she was not to give in and our team just made the changes. And it worked! It was extremely hard and time-consuming, but Andrea persisted.”(科学设备的设计从来没有满足安德里亚以超高速分析图像数据的需要。但她并没有屈服,我们的团队只是做出了改变。成功了!这是非常困难和耗时的,但Andrea坚持下去。)可知,她升级科学设备来证明她的理论,是严格遵守科研纪律的人。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“But in my eyes, it was just one person that had the persistence and focus to make the idea happen that person is my friend and longtime colleague the one who refused to take "no" for an answer Andrea Ghez.”(但在我看来,只有一个人有毅力和专注力让这个想法成为现实,这个人就是我的朋友和老同事,就是那个拒绝接受“不”回答的人Andrea Ghez。)可知,作者把Andrea Ghez当做朋友,言语中透露出对她的敬佩之情。故选D项。
C
It’s known that reading is good for a child’s vocabulary and literacy skills, teaching them math or science concepts and helping them learn history. Apart from those, reading has another benefit. Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering If so, that is because you have empathy (共鸣) for the character — and empathy can be learned through various fictions. “It’s a magic eye that sees into other people’s hearts,” explains author Cressida Cowell.
Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. “Many more areas of your brain light up when you’re enjoying a story,” explains Miranda McKearney from EmpathyLab, an organization that builds empathy through reading. “Your brain thinks you are in the story… This means you experience the characters’ thoughts as if they are real.”
Empathy helps you to read people’s emotions and work out the best way to respond. This skill, called emotional intelligence, can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. Research has shown that building empathy can lead to greater kindness and tolerance. One study found that children who read the Harry Potter novels — which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil — were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民).
This theory has been put into practice by St Michael’s Primary School. After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class — a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war — students in that school were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization Refugee Action. Their empathy also spurred them to raise 1,000 for people who were forced to leave their homes because of war.
Reading encourages children to empathise with others, which could potentially lead to several beneficial learning outcomes, new research suggests. For society to develop, creative, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter.
28. Why do readers cry about a character’s experience
A. They have magic eyes. B. They want to show empathy.
C. They understand his feelings D. They have the same experience.
29. What does the author show by referring to the Harry Potter novels
A. The process of building empathy.
B. The benefits of developing empathy.
C. The definition of emotional intelligence.
D. The results of the school’s activity.
30. What does the underlined word “spurred” mean in paragraph 4
A. Reminded. B. Permitted. C. Persuaded. D. Encouraged.
31. What might the author advise children to do
A. Read to learn empathy.
B. Become empathetic to others.
C. Put themselves in others’ shoes.
D. Read as many books as possible.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明阅读可以帮助孩子培养同理心,这对于儿童发展有很多好处。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering If so, that is because you have empathy (共鸣) for the character — and empathy can be learned through various fictions. (你是否读过一个故事,因为一个角色的痛苦而热泪盈眶?如果是这样,那是因为你对角色有同理心——同理心可以通过各种小说来学到)”可知,读者因为角色的经历而流泪是因为他们对他有同理心,能理解角色的感受。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Research has shown that building empathy can lead to greater kindness and tolerance. One study found that children who read the Harry Potter novels — which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil — were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民). (研究表明,建立同理心可以带来更大的善良和宽容。一项研究发现,读过《哈利波特》小说的孩子不太可能对包括难民在内的弱势群体做出不公平的行为,小说讲述了人类与邪恶作斗争的故事)”可知,此处在讨论建立同理心的好处,因此提到《哈利波特》小说是以阅读过它的孩子们的实例来佐证这些好处。故选B项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class — a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war — students in that school were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization Refugee Action. (在读完《坐在教室最后一排的男孩》——一个关于逃离战争的男孩的故事后,学校的学生受到激励,为非营利组织“难民行动”进行了10英里的步行活动)”可知,此处讲述阅读《坐在教室最后一排的男孩》对学生们激励作用起到的积极效果,再结合下文“to raise 1,000 for people who were forced to leave their homes because of war (为那些因战争而被迫离开家园的人们筹集1000英镑)”可推知,学生们筹集善款也是因为被这本书激励了,spurred意思应该与上文的inspired呼应,是“激励”的意思,与选项中的encouraged意思一致。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Reading encourages children to empathise with others, which could potentially lead to several beneficial learning outcomes, new research suggests. For society to develop, creative, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter. (新的研究表明,阅读可以鼓励孩子们同情他人,这可能会带来一些有益的学习成果。对于社会的发展来说,有创造力、善于沟通和善解人意的个人真的很重要)”可知,阅读有益于孩子们培养同理心,促进他们个人的发展,从而促进社会的发展。由此推知,作者会建议孩子们通过阅读来培养同理心。故选A项。
D
Since the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was passed in 1973, it has helped hundreds of species avoid extinction in the United States. The strong conservation policy has been used as a model in other countries. But it’s not as successful as it could be, a new study finds.
Researchers have discovered most species are not being protected until their numbers have become so low that their chance of recovery is slim.
“The ESA is an incredibly powerful, ambitious law for protecting our endangered wildlife. Yet, for decades, the agency primarily responsible for operating the ESA — the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) — has been starved of resources,” lead author Erich Eberhard says.
“As a result, we are very slow to give species the protection that they deserve. We typically wait until species are extremely rare and thus at extreme risk of extinction, and then, when a species is finally listed, the USFWS is straining its resources to try to recover it.”
In 1993, a study found that few species received protection under the ESA until their populations became very small. For the new study, researchers repeated the methods used in the earlier research to see whether protections have become better since the problem was first noted. They also looked at trends in “wait times” — the amount of time between when a species is identified as potentially needing protection and when it actually receives protection under the ESA.
“Our analysis suggests that, in the nearly 30 years since attention was first brought to this problem, we have not become more active in protecting endangered species,” says Eberhard.
The researchers found that the population sizes of species when they first became protected under the ESA are not statistically different from those in the 1993 study. They also discovered that there are long wait times between when a species is identified as likely needing protection and when they actually receive them.
“I can say that our study paints the current state of the ESA as a bit of cautionary (告诫的) tale for the strong conservation policy,” says Eberhard.
32. What problem does the USFWS have protecting endangered species
A. It takes ineffective measures. B. It is lacking in resources.
C. It can’t get timely information. D. It is an irresponsible organization.
33. What is the purpose of the new study
A. To try out new ways to protect endangered species.
B. To find out the exact number of endangered species.
C. To check the time needed to save endangered species.
D. To see if endangered species have been better protected.
34. How can the study help with animal conservation
A. It found out many more endangered species.
B. It pointed out the direction for the USFWS to act on.
C. It proved the role of the public in conservation.
D. It showed some effective ways to protect animals.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. The USFWS Needs Stronger Laws
B. The ESA Has Achieved Great Success
C. New Conversation Laws Are on the Way
D. Endangered Species Act Isn’t Working Well
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发现《濒危物种法》效果不佳的表现。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中““The ESA is an incredibly powerful, ambitious law for protecting our endangered wildlife. Yet, for decades, the agency primarily responsible for operating the ESA — the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) — has been starved of resources,” lead author Erich Eberhard says. (“ESA是一项非常强大、雄心勃勃的法律,旨在保护我们濒危的野生动物。然而,几十年来,主要负责运营欧空局的机构——美国鱼类和野生动物管理局(USFWS)——一直缺乏资源,”主要作者埃里希·埃伯哈德说。)”可知,美国鱼类和野生动物局在保护濒危物种方面问题是缺乏资源。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段中“For the new study, researchers repeated the methods used in the earlier research to see whether protections have become better since the problem was first noted. (在这项新研究中,研究人员重复了早期研究中使用的方法,以观察自首次发现问题以来,保护措施是否有所改善。)”可知,这项新研究的目的是看看濒危物种是否得到了更好的保护。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段““I can say that our study paints the current state of the ESA as a bit of cautionary (告诫的) tale for the strong conservation policy,” says Eberhard. (埃伯哈德说:“我可以说,我们的研究将濒危物种法案的现状描绘成一个强有力的保护政策的警示故事。”)”可知,这项研究为美国鱼类和野生动物管理局的行动指明了方向。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是文章第一段“Since the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was passed in 1973, it has helped hundreds of species avoid extinction in the United States. The strong conservation policy has been used as a model in other countries. But it’s not as successful as it could be, a new study finds. (自从1973年《濒危物种法案》(ESA)通过以来,它已经帮助美国数百种物种避免了灭绝。强保护政策已被其他国家作为典范。但一项新的研究发现,它并没有达到预期的效果。)”可知,文章主要介绍了研究人员发现《濒危物种法》效果不佳的表现。故选D。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空自处的最佳选项。下面选项中有两项为多余选项。
For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to make a beeline for (直奔) tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery (食品杂货店) shopping on holiday.
As a vegetarian (素食主义者) , finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. ____36____ The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me.
The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new.

Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores.
____38____ Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania.

B. The challenge of finding food is interesting, too.
C. So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen.
D. Grocery shopping was a vital part of the holiday experience.

【36题详解】
根据前文“As a vegetarian(素食主义者) , finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. (作为一名素食主义者,在国外找到满足我需求的餐馆并不总是那么容易。)”可知,作者是一名素食主义者,因此在旅游时找到满足自己需求的餐馆并不容易,因此设空处应该指出作者在旅游时如何解决该问题。C选项“So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen.(所以我总是确保预定一个带厨房的地方。)”承接前文,指出为解决在外旅游饮食问题,作者总是确保预定一个带厨房的地方,符合语境。故选C。

根据前文“In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, a product I would struggle to find even in the UK. (在马耳他,我找到了最美味的巧克力夹心蛋糕,这种产品即使在英国也很难找到。)”可知,作者遇到了一个美味的巧克力夹心蛋糕。A选项“I ended up eating these every day for breakfast.(后来我每天早餐都吃这个。)”中的these指代前文的chocolate-filled cakes,形成呼应,指出作者每天早餐都吃夹心巧克力蛋糕,符合语境。故选A。

【40题详解】
根据前文“But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. (但它意味着参与一个国家公民的日常生活。)”以及“I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night.(我可以看到孩子们向父母乞讨糖果,这是一种不需要语言的国际体验,也可以看到情侣们为周五晚上的派对挑选零食和饮料。)”可知,前文强调通过购物可以体验当地市民的日常生活即作者通过购物能够参与一个国家公民的日常生活。E选项“It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.(这是一种理解他人的行为,就像购买食物一样。)”承接前文,指出通过购物可以让自己像当地人一样融入当地文化的做法。故选E。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During the summer before Patty entered fifth grade, she decided to try a new sport. Swim training was nearly over and Patty was the fastest swimmer in her age group. She had always been the best. The neighborhood was offering a one-week tennis training course. Patty and her friend Darla got permission from their parents to join.
On Saturday morning, Darla’s mom took the girls to a store and bought them each a good, used tennis racket. “If you girls stick to tennis, then we’ll talk about a new racket. These will do for now.” The girls were excited about their new purchases. On Monday morning, at 7:00 a.m., Patty’s mom woke her up. “It’s time for tennis!” Patty covered her face. “Mom, it’s too early!” She made great effort to get out of bed and down to the breakfast table. Patty finished breakfast and ran to Darla’s house, then they walked to the court.
Mrs. Cane, the tennis coach, lined everyone up and started with the basics. After that, Mrs. Cane tirelessly taught them to practice their forehand and backhand. By the end of the week, Patty had made impressive progress. Mrs. Cane commented that Patty had lots of potential. Darla, on the other hand, was struggling. The other teenagers were having a tough time of it, too. Patty was the only one who seemed to get somewhere.
Since then, Darla had always been out in the August heat, practicing her serves or hitting the ball. Patty wasn’t really interested. She felt she was such a “natural” for tennis that she really didn’t need to practice. By the end of the summer, Darla began to get the hang of it. She joined a neighborhood junior tennis team. There would be matches every Thursday. Patty wanted to join as well, but she didn’t want to miss her favorite TV show. She told herself that she would join it when she got some free time. If Darla had fun, she would join the team in the spring.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The week before school started, Mrs. Cane held another training course.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】【参考范文】
The week before school started, Mrs. Cane held another training course. Darla and Patty signed up immediately. In a class, Mrs. Cane asked the teenagers to play in turn. Darla came first, impressing others with her excellent performance. Mrs. Cane was pleased with Darla’s progress. “Well, I can tell who’s been practicing!” she smiled. Soon it was Patty’s turn. Everyone looked at the “talent” expectantly. Yet, Patty had not practiced and was far behind the rest, which was a shock for all. Patty was upset and absent until the class was over.
Patty couldn’t stop thinking of her poor performance on the way home. She realized she needed change if she still wanted to continue with tennis. The next day Patty came to Darla’s team when they practiced to ask whether she could join. Warmly welcomed, she became a member of the team that day. Weak though she was, Patty enjoyed herself and worked hard at practice. She finally found that “natural talent” got her nowhere without diligence and she was able to join in the fun. That was one of the best lessons of her life.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了在暑假期间,Patty和她的朋友Darla一起加入了Mrs. Cane的网球培训课。Mrs. Cane不知疲倦地教他们练习正手和反手,起初,Patty进步很快,被教练称赞具有天赋,Darla和课上其他同学却学得艰难,所以Darla一直勤加练习,练习发球或击球,Patty并不是很感兴趣,她觉得自己打网球是天生的,根本不需要练习。夏末的时候,Darla开始掌握了窍门,她加入了附近的青少年网球队,Patty也想加入,但是又想看电视。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“开学前一周,Mrs. Cane又举办了一次培训课程。”可知,第一段可描写Patty和Darla在培训课程上的表现。
②由第二段首句内容“在回家的路上,帕蒂一直在想她糟糕的表现。”可知,第二段可描写Patty加入了Darla的队伍,并且醒悟了,知道了勤奋练习的重要性。
2.续写线索:Darla得第一名——Mrs.Cane高兴——Patty表现不好——Patty反省——Patty加入Darla的队伍——Patty努力练习——Patty感悟
3.词汇激活

For many travelers these days, finding a way to make travel more meaningful has become a top priority. They are increasingly pursuing journeys that include time to volunteer, work on a conservation project, protect endangered animals or to do other activities that allow for giving back while exploring a new part of the world. Here are some opportunities that combine travel with doing good deeds.
The Azores
The trips offer the opportunity to work on carefully selected projects alongside famous scientists while also enjoying encounters with some of the world’s most fascinating sea creatures in water. It allows participants to join a research team in the Azores that is studying the animals to support future conservation of the species. Advanced diving experience is required.
Red Sea, Egypt
Combining an opportunity for world-class diving with being part of an important research effort conducted by Hurghada Environmental Protection and Conservation Association, the seven-night trip includes learning how to gather water data with state-of-the-art scientific equipment and conducting onboard and underwater experiments.
Australia
Explore Queensland, Australia, while also supporting a registered charity that rescues farm animals from abuse (虐待), neglect, and situations where they’re in danger. Participants help with daily cleaning of barns (牲口圈) and cages, feeding, health checks, light repair, monitoring animals’ movements, and intensive care of ill, old and baby animals. The experience includes free accommodations with Wi Fi and a swimming pool.
Romania
Work with bears at Romania’s largest bear sanctuary (庇护所), a place that was created as a heaven for bears that have been abused. Located in the Carpathian Mountains, the sanctuary needs volunteers to help with preparing food, monitoring animal well-being and leading conservation tours. The sanctuary is home to 84 bears, with 20 more due to be rescued.
21. What do the last two trips have in common
A. Both include conducting experiments.
B. Both provide free accommodations.
C. Both require advanced diving experience.
D. Both involve protecting animals from abuse.
22. Which place best suits a girl who likes sea creatures
A. The Azores. B. Red Sea.
C. Australia. D. Romania.
23. What do volunteers need to do in the sanctuary in Romania
A. They conduct experiments. B. They gather water data.
C. They monitor animal well-being. D. They need to clean barns and cages.
B
Standing in my office 25 years ago was a young astronomer. She had an incredible request that my team revise our software to do something beyond our design, and risk breaking it. All to carry out a seemingly impossible experiment — to prove that a massive black hole existed in our Milky Way. My initial “no way” gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but unshakable determination. It was my first encounter with Andrea Ghez, one of the winners of Nobel Prize in Physics 2020.
For 25 years Andrea has been searching for evidence of a black hole at the heart of our galaxy. But the work has been defined by technology. Scientific equipment was never designed to meet Andrea's need — analyzing the image data at superspeed. But she was not to give in and our team just made the changes. And it worked! It was extremely hard and time-consuming, but Andrea persisted. Out of that effort came the first evidence of stars orbiting a black hole.
Andrea is fond of owing her success to the interaction between astronomers and engineers responding to the challenge. Science questions generate new technology and new technology generates new science. Andrea has always pioneered in this virtuous cycle (良性循环). She created UCLA Galactic Centre to promote research and technical developments.
Today, Andrea received the highest scientific recognition. But as she would be the very first to knowledge, this success represents the combined efforts of so many. From the theoretical prediction Albert Einstein, through the amazing telescopes and observatory locations, to the technical workers it is the product of thousands.
But in my eyes, it was just one person that had the persistence and focus to make the idea happen that person is my friend and longtime colleague the one who refused to take "no" for an answer Andrea Ghez.
24. Why did Andrea Ghez pay the first visit to the author
A. To appreciate a software design. B. To demand a software revision.
C. To conduct an astronomy research. D. To promote a high-tech product.
25. What has Andrea Ghez been persisting in
A. Carrying out outer space experiment. B. Developing superspeed equipment.
C. Looking for evidence of a black hole. D. Searching for new stars in the galaxy.
26. Which of the following best describes Andrea Ghezi
A. Pioneering and appreciative. B. Artistic and reserved.
C. Determined and disciplined. D. Innovative and controlling.
27. What does the author think of Andrea Ghez
A. Average B. Fashionable.
C. Troublesome. D. Admirable.
C
It’s known that reading is good for a child’s vocabulary and literacy skills, teaching them math or science concepts and helping them learn history. Apart from those, reading has another benefit. Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering If so, that is because you have empathy (共鸣) for the character — and empathy can be learned through various fictions. “It’s a magic eye that sees into other people’s hearts,” explains author Cressida Cowell.
Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. “Many more areas of your brain light up when you’re enjoying a story,” explains Miranda McKearney from EmpathyLab, an organization that builds empathy through reading. “Your brain thinks you are in the story… This means you experience the characters’ thoughts as if they are real.”
Empathy helps you to read people’s emotions and work out the best way to respond. This skill, called emotional intelligence, can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. Research has shown that building empathy can lead to greater kindness and tolerance. One study found that children who read the Harry Potter novels — which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil — were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民).
This theory has been put into practice by St Michael’s Primary School. After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class — a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war — students in that school were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization Refugee Action. Their empathy also spurred them to raise 1,000 for people who were forced to leave their homes because of war.
Reading encourages children to empathise with others, which could potentially lead to several beneficial learning outcomes, new research suggests. For society to develop, creative, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter.
28. Why do readers cry about a character’s experience
A. They have magic eyes. B. They want to show empathy.
C. They understand his feelings D. They have the same experience.
29. What does the author show by referring to the Harry Potter novels
A. The process of building empathy.
B. The benefits of developing empathy.
C. The definition of emotional intelligence.
D. The results of the school’s activity.
30. What does the underlined word “spurred” mean in paragraph 4
A. Reminded. B. Permitted. C. Persuaded. D. Encouraged.
31. What might the author advise children to do
A. Read to learn empathy.
B. Become empathetic to others.
C. Put themselves in others’ shoes.
D. Read as many books as possible.
D
Since the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was passed in 1973, it has helped hundreds of species avoid extinction in the United States. The strong conservation policy has been used as a model in other countries. But it’s not as successful as it could be, a new study finds.
Researchers have discovered most species are not being protected until their numbers have become so low that their chance of recovery is slim.
“The ESA is an incredibly powerful, ambitious law for protecting our endangered wildlife. Yet, for decades, the agency primarily responsible for operating the ESA — the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) — has been starved of resources,” lead author Erich Eberhard says.
“As a result, we are very slow to give species the protection that they deserve. We typically wait until species are extremely rare and thus at extreme risk of extinction, and then, when a species is finally listed, the USFWS is straining its resources to try to recover it.”
In 1993, a study found that few species received protection under the ESA until their populations became very small. For the new study, researchers repeated the methods used in the earlier research to see whether protections have become better since the problem was first noted. They also looked at trends in “wait times” — the amount of time between when a species is identified as potentially needing protection and when it actually receives protection under the ESA.
“Our analysis suggests that, in the nearly 30 years since attention was first brought to this problem, we have not become more active in protecting endangered species,” says Eberhard.
The researchers found that the population sizes of species when they first became protected under the ESA are not statistically different from those in the 1993 study. They also discovered that there are long wait times between when a species is identified as likely needing protection and when they actually receive them.
“I can say that our study paints the current state of the ESA as a bit of cautionary (告诫的) tale for the strong conservation policy,” says Eberhard.
32. What problem does the USFWS have protecting endangered species
A. It takes ineffective measures. B. It is lacking in resources.
C. It can’t get timely information. D. It is an irresponsible organization.
33. What is the purpose of the new study
A. To try out new ways to protect endangered species.
B. To find out the exact number of endangered species.
C. To check the time needed to save endangered species.
D. To see if endangered species have been better protected.
34. How can the study help with animal conservation
A. It found out many more endangered species.
B. It pointed out the direction for the USFWS to act on.
C. It proved the role of the public in conservation.
D. It showed some effective ways to protect animals.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. The USFWS Needs Stronger Laws
B. The ESA Has Achieved Great Success
C. New Conversation Laws Are on the Way
D. Endangered Species Act Isn’t Working Well

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空自处的最佳选项。下面选项中有两项为多余选项。
For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to make a beeline for (直奔) tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery (食品杂货店) shopping on holiday.
As a vegetarian (素食主义者) , finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. ____36____ The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me.
The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, a product I would struggle to find even in the UK. ____37____ I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores.
____38____ Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. ____39____ That is because they are never available at the smaller ones.
Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. ____40____

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During the summer before Patty entered fifth grade, she decided to try a new sport. Swim training was nearly over and Patty was the fastest swimmer in her age group. She had always been the best. The neighborhood was offering a one-week tennis training course. Patty and her friend Darla got permission from their parents to join.
On Saturday morning, Darla’s mom took the girls to a store and bought them each a good, used tennis racket. “If you girls stick to tennis, then we’ll talk about a new racket. These will do for now.” The girls were excited about their new purchases. On Monday morning, at 7:00 a.m., Patty’s mom woke her up. “It’s time for tennis!” Patty covered her face. “Mom, it’s too early!” She made great effort to get out of bed and down to the breakfast table. Patty finished breakfast and ran to Darla’s house, then they walked to the court.
Mrs. Cane, the tennis coach, lined everyone up and started with the basics. After that, Mrs. Cane tirelessly taught them to practice their forehand and backhand. By the end of the week, Patty had made impressive progress. Mrs. Cane commented that Patty had lots of potential. Darla, on the other hand, was struggling. The other teenagers were having a tough time of it, too. Patty was the only one who seemed to get somewhere.
Since then, Darla had always been out in the August heat, practicing her serves or hitting the ball. Patty wasn’t really interested. She felt she was such a “natural” for tennis that she really didn’t need to practice. By the end of the summer, Darla began to get the hang of it. She joined a neighborhood junior tennis team. There would be matches every Thursday. Patty wanted to join as well, but she didn’t want to miss her favorite TV show. She told herself that she would join it when she got some free time. If Darla had fun, she would join the team in the spring.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The week before school started, Mrs. Cane held another training course.
