M: Sure. In Iran, people emphasize greetings. Even at a distance where hugs and kisses are not possible, people will make a gesture to say hello.
W: Speaking of that, when Maori meet, they rub each other’s noses at least two or three times in New Zealand. The more they do this, the better their relationship is. Anything else
M: Well, in Nigeria, it’s rude to give a thumbs-up sign.
W: While in Britain, Australia and New Zealand, travelers use it to ask for a ride. And in my motherland China, it’s used to praise someone. It looks like we need to be careful to use body language.
M: Yeah, you’d better search for more information online.
W: OK. The abstract of my paper is almost finished.
M: You also need to pay more attention to the body and the conclusion. And remember the conclusion should reflect your deeper understanding, which shouldn’t be shallow.
W: OK.
M: I hope you can publish your paper one day.

B. To do research on plants.
C. To fight climate change.

A. Around 160. B. Over 500. C. More than 3, 000.
【答案】18. C 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】M: One of the last unspoiled areas of Amazon rain forest lies in a remote region of northeastern Peru called Yaguas. Amazon rain forests are so massive that they affect rain patterns across the globe. Keeping the rain forests intact is one of the best ways to fight climate change. This is why the Peruvian government created Yaguas National Park, in January. “It’s a triumph to protect this particular corner of Peru because it is biologically really special,” NigelPitman said. Pitman works for the Field Museum, in Chicago, Illinois. He helped record the region’s biodiversity. Rain forests are vital to the health of the planet. Their trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and replace it with oxygen. Dense cloud cover keeps the forests moist and warm, making them perfect for a variety of life. Yaguas is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. The park is home to more than 3,000 species of plants, 500 species of birds, and 160 species of mammals. Scientists have discovered more new fish species here than in any other place. There are about 550 kinds. Pitman said half of Peru’s freshwater fish might live in one little river in Yaguas.

For the past 15 years, Denise has taught at a community school where students face significant economic and language challenges. In 2016, Denise met Dr. Jane Goodall at an event in the Bronx. Like Dr. Jane, Denise, who has a background in forestry, is always connected with nature and animals. Soon after, she started a Roots &Shoots program at her school. “I love to inspire that same connection in my students, ”said Denise.
To kick off their project, Denise introduced her group (19 first graders and 8 fifth-graders) to community mapping. “Where do you live What’s the name of your county What’s the name of your state ”she asked. “So it starts in your own backyard, ”she explains, “and it progresses across the street to the park, where you see urban wildlife, and finally you start to look at the bigger picture. ”Students then observed homeless cats outside their school, and together, they took action to return them to where they were found.
The students led the entire project. “I was just a guide, "says Denise. “But that’s the point:They are going to love science and animals. They know they are the future and that they are the people who are the keepers of this planet. ”She also notes that students come to understand what positive choices can have: They discover their own strengths and even weaknesses. They identify partners’ efforts and they form friendships and bonds.
But ultimately, says Denise, “my goal was to try to teach compassion, namely sympathy. That’s the biggest payoff she tries to convey to her students.” For other educators with a willing heart, she offers a few words of advice: Get students outside—even just to walk around the school grounds, guide them to build trust and put themselves in other’s shoes, and never give up!
24. What does the underlined phrase “that same connection” probably refer to
A. Love for nature and animals.
B. Desire for a higher social status.
C Denise and Goodall’s relationship.
D. Courage to explore the unknown.
25. Which of the following might Denise agree with
A. There are many homeless cats to handle.
B. A bigger picture is built on urban wildlife.
C. Change may start from small things around.
D. Every kid should know their own county.
26. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Ways to brave hardships in life.
B. The project’s impact on students.
C. Links between human and nature.
D. Challenges to face in the future.
27. What does Denise most highlight in teaching

【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Like Dr. Jane, Denise, who has a background in forestry, is always connected with nature and animals. Soon after, she started a Roots &Shoots program at her school.”（和简博士一样，拥有林业背景的丹尼斯总是与自然和动物联系在一起。不久之后，她在学校发起了“根与芽”项目。）由此可知，下划线的短语“that same connection”可能指的是“热爱自然和动物”，故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中““So it starts in your own backyard, ”she explains, “and it progresses across the street to the park, where you see urban wildlife, and finally you start to look at the bigger picture. ””（“所以它从你自己的后院开始，”她解释说，“然后发展到街对面的公园，在那里你可以看到城市野生动物，最后你开始看到更大的画面。”）可推知，丹尼斯可能同意的观点是改变可能从身边的小事开始。故选C项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The students led the entire project. “I was just a guide, "says Denise. “But that’s the point: They are going to love science and animals. They know they are the future and that they are the people who are the keepers of this planet. ”She also notes that students come to understand what positive choices can have: They discover their own strengths and even weaknesses. They identify partners’ efforts and they form friendships and bonds.”（学生们主导了整个项目。“我只是个向导，”丹尼斯说。“但这就是重点：他们会喜欢科学和动物。他们知道他们是未来，他们是这个星球的守护者。”她还指出，学生们开始明白积极的选择可以带来什么：他们发现了自己的长处，甚至弱点。他们确定合作伙伴的努力，他们形成友谊和纽带。）可知，第三段主要讲的是项目对学生的影响。故选B项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But ultimately, says Denise, “my goal was to try to teach compassion, namely sympathy. That’s the biggest payoff she tries to convey to her students.””（但最终，丹尼斯说，“我的目标是试图教会同情。这是她试图向学生传达的最大回报。）可知，丹尼斯在教学中最强调的是富有同情心。故选A项。
C
In our human-centric view, the ability to shoot ink or change colors may seem odd, but you know what’s really odd Menopause (更年期). You can count species other than humans known to experience and outlive menopause on one hand. Only Oracs (虎鲸) and some whale populations have females that live long past their reproductive years to become grandmothers. But a new, landmark study confirms that at least one population of chimpanzees can now be added to the list.
The discovery comes as the result of 21 years’ worth of observing the Ngogo community of wild chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Studying urine from 66 Ngogo females, aged 14 to 67, showed that their hormone levels changed after approaching 50, confirming they were in menopause. Interestingly, 50 is also the age when many people begin to experience menopause. “It’s really cool to finally have that piece of the puzzle come into place,” says Catherine Hobaiter, a primatologist who was not part of the new study.
But Catherine points out that the Ngogo community lives in a chimp paradise: the resource-rich, well-protected Kibale National Park that also lacks leopards, their main predator. And because the Noggo community is found in the heart of the park, its only neighbors are other chimps — not humans who can expose chimpanzees to viruses that have devastated other communities. “The Ngogo population may be an outlier (局外人) when it comes to the rest of the species,” she cautions.
And there is a question concerning “the grandmother effect”, according to which a grandmother has a decidedly beneficial effect on her children and grandchildren. Chimpanzees do not form long-term pair-bonds and females leave in search of new communities when they reach maturity, which means grandmother chimpanzees likely don’t know who their grandchildren are in the same way humans or even orcas do. What they do after the menopause remains a question of interest. “And that’s all future work to be done.” said Catherine.
28. What can be learned about menopause
A. It is rare among animals. B. It is unique to human beings.
C. It just occurs at the age of 50. D. It is experienced only by females.
29. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Scientist have found the solution to menopause.
B. What happens to the 66 Ngogo females remains a puzzle.
C. There is a puzzle whether chimpanzee females experience menopause.
D. The latest discovery casts new light on the puzzle of animal menopause.
30. Why does Catherine mention the living situation of the Ngogo community
A. To stress the importance of protecting chimpanzees from viruses.
B. To remind researchers of the potential limitation of the new study.
C To prove that Ngogo chimpanzees are perfect subjects of the study.
D. To argue that the discovery of the new study is completely groundless.
31. How is the last paragraph developed
A. By offering a definition. B. By drawing a conclusion.
C. By presenting relevant facts. D. By giving examples and opinions.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，乌干达基巴莱国家公园的Ngogo黑猩猩群体中的一些雌性在经历更年期后仍然活着，这进一步证明了人类不是唯一经历更年期的物种。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“You can count species other than humans known to experience and outlive menopause on one hand. (除了人类之外，你可以用一只手来计算经历并度过更年期的物种)”可知，更年期在动物是很少见的。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“Studying urine from 66 Ngogo females, aged 14 to 67, showed that their hormone levels changed after approaching 50, confirming they were in menopause. Interestingly, 50 is also the age when many people begin to experience menopause.( 研究了66名年龄在14岁至67岁之间的Ngogo女性黑猩猩的尿液，发现它们的激素水平在接近50岁时发生了变化，证实它们已进入更年期。有趣的是，50岁也是许多人开始经历更年期的年龄)”可知，经过了多年的研究，如今已经证实的是乌干达的Ngogo野生黑猩猩也经历着更年期即确定了该研究的发现结果。由此可知，划线句与D选项“The latest discovery casts new light on the puzzle of animal menopause.(这一最新发现为解开动物更年期之谜提供了新的线索)”意思相近，符合题意。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But Catherine points out that the Ngogo community lives in a chimp paradise: the resource-rich, well-protected Kibale National Park that also lacks leopards, their main predator. (但凯瑟琳指出，Ngogo社区生活在黑猩猩的天堂：资源丰富、保护良好的基巴莱国家公园，那里也没有豹子，豹子是它们的主要捕食者)”以及本段中““The Ngogo population may be an outlier (局外人) when it comes to the rest of the species,” she cautions.( 她警告说：“与其他物种相比，Ngogo种群可能是一个例外。”)”可推知，Catherine提及了黑猩猩们的生活环境说明了它们与其他动物的不同，是为了提醒研究人员这项新研究的潜在局限性。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And there is a question concerning “the grandmother effect”, according to which a grandmother has a decidedly beneficial effect on her children and grandchildren. Chimpanzees do not form long-term pair-bonds and females leave in search of new communities when they reach maturity, which means grandmother chimpanzees likely don’t know who their grandchildren are in the same way humans or even orcas do. (研究中还有一个有关“祖母效应”的问题，即祖母对她的子女和孙子女有明显的积极影响。黑猩猩没有人类或虎鲸那样形成长期夫妻关系，母猩猩在成熟后就离开原来的社区寻找新的社区，这意味着祖母黑猩猩可能并不知道谁是她们的孙子女，与人类或甚至虎鲸不同)”可知，最后一段通过提到相关的事实即黑猩猩与人类在“祖母效应”问题上的不同，阐述了对当前研究结论的质疑。由此推知，最后一段是通过提出相关事实来开展的。故选C。
D
I spoke to my parents last night and for a moment I forgot I wasn’t really speaking to them, but to their digital replicas (复制品). They live inside an app as voice assistants constructed by the company HereAfter AI.
In fact, my parents are still alive and well; their virtual versions were made to help me understand the technology. Grief tech, which lets you “talk” with the people you’ve loved and lost, has been appearing in science fiction. But now it’s becoming a reality. Although the thought of it makes some frightened, it’s not hard to see the appeal that people might turn to digital replicas for comfort.
However, there is one major limitation. These replicas may sound like someone you love, but they know nothing about you. Anyone can talk to them, and get the same reply in the same tone. “The biggest issue with the technology is the idea that you can generate a single universal person,” says Justin Harrison, founder of a technological service.
Creating a virtual avatar you can have more conversation with contributes to your feeling connected to someone you loved and lost, says Erin Thompson, a clinical psychologist. But a grieving person needs to know that these bots can only capture a small part of someone rather than replace healthy, functional human relationships.
And there are other risks. Any service that allows you to create a digital replica of someone without that person’s participation raises complex moral issues. While some might argue that permission is less important with someone who is dead, can’t you also argue that the person who generated the other side of the conversation should have a say too And what if that person is not, in fact, dead
If digital replicas become mainstream, there will inevitably need to be new regulations around what we leave behind online. And we’ll be better off if we cope with the possibility of these replicas’ misuse before, not after, they reach mass adoption.
Anyway, I feel lucky to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with my parents, face to face, no technology involved.
32. Which of the following is not a drawback of digital replicas
A. They can’t vary their response accordingly.
B. They can’t mirror every aspect of a person.
C. They may pose threat to the interests of people alive.
D. It’s hard to gain permission from someone who is not alive.
33. What’s the author’s attitude towards grief tech
A. Favorable. B. Reasonable. C. Critical. D. Indifferent.
34. According to the last two paragraphs, what inspiration did the author draw from his experience
A. Technology is advancing faster than imagined.
B. Safety risks can be surely avoided by regulations.
C. Replicas will not be misused before widely adopted.
D. Cherish the beloved ones when they are still around.
35. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Reflections on grief tech. B. Ways to overcome our grief.
C. Technology to change our life. D. Controversy over digital replicas.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了“悼念科技”（grief tech）这一新兴技术，可以让人与死去的亲人进行对话。虽然这种技术可以在某种程度上带来安慰和联系感，但是也存在很多限制和风险。作者感到庆幸的是，她还有机会和父母面对面地交流，不需要依赖科技。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“These replicas may sound like someone you love, but they know nothing about you. Anyone can talk to them, and get the same reply in the same tone. “The biggest issue with the technology is the idea that you can generate a single universal person,” says Justin Harrison, founder of a technological service.(这些复制品可能听起来像你爱的人，但他们对你一无所知。任何人都可以和他们交谈，并以同样的语气得到同样的答复。一家技术服务公司的创始人贾斯汀 哈里森(Justin Harrison)表示：“这项技术最大的问题在于，你可以创造出一个通用的人。”)”可知，这些数字复制品听起来像你爱的人，但是对你去一无所知，即它们不能反映一个人的方方面面，该信息与B选项相符；同时任何人都可以和他们交谈，并以同样的语气得到同样的答复，即他们不能相应地改变自己的回应，该信息与A选项是一致的；同时根据第五段“While some might argue that permission is less important with someone who is dead, can’t you also argue that the person who generated the other side of the conversation should have a say too And what if that person is not, in fact, dead (虽然有些人可能会说，对一个已经死了的人来说，允许不那么重要，但你难道不能说，发起另一方对话的人也应该有发言权吗？如果那个人实际上并没有死呢？)”可知，复制一个已经了死了的人，并且得到这个人的允许去复制它这是很难的，该信息与D选项相符。C选项“They may pose threat to the interests of people alive.(它们可能对活着的人的利益构成威胁。)”文中并未提及。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Creating a virtual avatar you can have more conversation with contributes to your feeling connected to someone you loved and lost, says Erin Thompson, a clinical psychologist. (临床心理学家艾琳·汤普森(Erin Thompson)说，创建一个可以与你进行更多对话的虚拟化身，有助于让你感觉与你爱过但失去的人有联系。)”以及第三段中“However, there is one major limitation. (然而，有一个主要的限制。)”以及第五段中“And there are other risks.(还有其他风险。)”可知，作者并没有对悼念科技本身提出批判或者赞同的态度，而是从不同的角度来讨论了该技术的优缺点和可能存在的问题。因此，作者对悼念科技的态度是合理的，B选项“reasonable(合理的)”与其相符。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“If digital replicas become mainstream, there will inevitably need to be new regulations around what we leave behind online. (如果数字复制品成为主流，将不可避免地需要对我们在网上留下的东西制定新的规定。)”以及最后一段“Anyway, I feel lucky to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with my parents, face to face, no technology involved.(无论如何，我感到很幸运，我仍然有宝贵的机会和我的父母花更多的时间，面对面，不涉及技术。)”可知，如果数字复制品成为主流，则需要制定和出台大量的新规，因此从作者的角度看，作者是很幸运的因为有很多的宝贵机会和父母面对面的交流，因此面对数字复制品，作者建议当所爱的人还在身边的时候，珍惜他们，把握当下的点点滴滴。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Grief tech, which lets you “talk” with the people you’ve loved and lost, has been appearing in science fiction. But now it’s becoming a reality. Although the thought of it makes some frightened, it’s not hard to see the appeal that people might turn to digital replicas for comfort.(悼念技术，可以让你与你爱过和失去的人“交谈”，已经出现在科幻小说中。但现在它正在成为现实。尽管这种想法让一些人感到害怕，但不难看出人们可能会转向数字复制品寻求安慰的吸引力。)以及下文的讲述可知，文章讨论了“悼念科技”（grief tech）这一新兴技术，可以让人与死去的亲人进行对话。虽然这种技术可以在某种程度上带来安慰和联系感，但是也存在很多限制和风险，比如这些数字复制品没有个性，不会了解你的情况，而且对于没有同意生成数字复制品的人而言也存在道德问题。如果数字复制品得到大规模的应用，我们需要制定相关规定和管理措施。作者感到庆幸的是，她还有机会和父母面对面地交流，不需要依赖科技。A选项“Reflections on grief tech.(关于悼念科技的思考。)”概括文章主题，符合主旨。故选A。

With big features around the corner like 5G, it may be quickly approaching the time to upgrade your device. ____36____
Price is important — The newest devices are all starting to cross the four-digit price range, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend big to get quality. ____37____ Non-flagship devices for the current year can also offer all of the features you’re looking for and make some savings too.
What will you be using your device for — You need to identify your needs to understand if the price is worth paying.

____39____ — With rising prices, many of us are holding on to our devices for a longer period of time, but months of updates and file storage can slow devices down, and internal hardware could fall behind in times too. Make a list of must-haves and do a little research to see if something new is coming.
It can be no small task to find a suitable replacement. ____40____ After all, this is a type of device you’ll be stuck with every day.

【答案】36. F 37. G 38. D 39. A 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在更换设备时需要考虑的事情。
【36题详解】
根据空处所在位置，空处应承上启下。前文“With big features around the corner like 5G, it may be quickly approaching the time to upgrade your device.(随着5G等大功能的出现，设备更新换代的时间可能很快就会到来。)”讲述了有更换设备的必要性，再结合下文讲述的更换设备时要考虑的内容可知，空处应是说挑选新设备时需要考虑哪些问题，F项“那么，在挑选新设备时，你应该考虑什么呢？”符合题意。故选F。
【37题详解】
前文“The newest devices are all starting to cross the four-digit price range, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend big to get quality.(最新的设备都开始突破四位数的价格范围，但这并不意味着你需要花大价钱才能获得质量。)”讲述了不需要为了获得高质量而花费大价钱，后文“Non-flagship devices for the current year can also offer all of the features you’re looking for and make some savings too.(今年的非旗舰设备也可以提供你想要的所有功能，并节省一些费用。)”讲述了可以选择非旗舰店设备这种省钱的方式，其中的also说明空处讲述的是选择物美价廉设备的一种方法，G项“一两年前的二手设备可以提供你需要的所有功能。”符合题意，选项中的can provide all the features you need和后文的can also offer all of the features you’re looking for想照应。故选G。
【38题详解】
前文“So be clear about what you’ll be using your device for.(所以，要清楚你将使用你的设备做什么。)”讲述了要明白自己的具体需求，后文“That will certainly help cut costs down, especially the big-ticket items that are only aimed towards a certain audience.(这肯定有助于降低成本，尤其是那些只针对特定受众的高价商品。)”讲述了这么做有利于降低购买成本，由此可知，空处应承接上文，讲述确定需求后接下来应该做什么，D项“然后寻找没有某些无用功能的设备。”符合题意，选项中的Then说明这里与前文是顺承关系。故选D。
【39题详解】
根据空处所在位置可知，空处是选设备时应该考虑的内容。根据后文“With rising prices, many of us are holding on to our devices for a longer period of time, but months of updates and file storage can slow devices down, and internal hardware could fall behind in times too.(随着价格的上涨，我们中的许多人都会保留我们的设备更久，但几个月的更新和文件存储可能会减慢设备的速度，内部硬件也可能会落后。)”可知，这里应是讲述选设备时要考虑它的持久性，A项“也要考虑持久性。”符合题意。故选A。
【40题详解】
前文“It can be no small task to find a suitable replacement.(找到一个合适的替代者绝非易事。)”讲述了选择合适的设备并不容易，再结合后文“After all, this is a type of device you’ll be stuck with every day.(毕竟，这是一种你每天都摆脱不掉的设备。)”可知，空处应是说花这些努力是值得的，B项“尽管如此，你的努力还是值得的。”符合题意。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国非同寻常的2021年。
【56题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：11月，中国共产党第十九届中央委员会第六次全体会议召开。根据时间状语in November可知，用一般过去时。主语The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee与hold之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填was held。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：大会回顾了党百年奋斗历程，要求全体党员在人民追求美好生活的过程中发挥主导作用。call on sb. to do sth.号召某人做某事。故填to play。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：2021年对人类来说是伟大的一年，人类广泛开展了外太空探索，取得了新的进展：中国的“天问一号”火星探测器成功登陆火星。定冠词the 后，介词of前用名词形式，表抽象意义，不可数，故填exploration。
【59题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：中国的月球探测器嫦娥四号继续揭示月球背面的真相，中国航天员已经在自己的天宫空间站生活和工作。本句为宾语从句，从句缺少主语，且指物，所以用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【60题详解】
考查代词。句意：中国的月球探测器嫦娥四号继续揭示月球背面的真相，中国航天员已经在自己的天宫空间站生活和工作。名词Tiangong space station前用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：2021年也是非同寻常的一年，抗击新冠肺炎疫情仍是全球关注的焦点。这里特指“fight against COVID-19”，所以用定冠词the。故填the。
【62题详解】
考查独立主格。句意：人类被迫应对一个又一个病毒变种，从德尔塔到奥密克戎，所有这些变种都对公众健康造成了损害。在此背景下，中国仍然实现了稳定的经济增长，为全球供应链的稳定做出了巨大贡献。分析句子结构可知，这里为独立主格结构。all与damage之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词形式。故填damaging。
【63题详解】
考查固定短语。句意同上。contribute to对……作贡献。故填to。
【64题详解】
考查时态。句意：截至目前，中国已向全球100多个国家提供了近20亿剂新冠病毒疫苗。根据时间状语up to now可知，用现在完成时。主语为It，助动词用has。故填has provided。
【65题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：和平、合作、发展、互助将是中国未来12个月的关键词。名词month为可数名词，根据前面数词12可知，用名词的复数形式。故填months。

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。
Some people are just doomed (注定) to be failures. That’s the way some adults look at troubled kids. A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high. David was made to feel this way almost every day in school.
David was the most famous troublemaker in high school. He wasn’t confident and didn’t answer questions. From time to time he skipped classes and got into lots of fights. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. However, things gradually changed during a weekend leadership meeting. All the students at school had been invited to sign up for ACE training, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities.
At the start of the meeting, David was literally standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall, with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. He didn’t readily join the discussion groups. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in the discussion. David started to join them and he really had great ideas. The other students in David’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden David felt like a part of the group.
The next day, David was very active in all the sessions. By the end of the meeting, he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. They elected David co-chairman of the team.
The very first community service project organized by the Homeless Project team was to collect food for the homeless in the charge of David. But a group of teachers doubted whether this crucial beginning should be in the hands of David. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the ACE program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and reinforce (加强) its practice until true change can take place.
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。
Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless. In the whole process, David was active and creative. His behavior and attitude also influenced other students in the team. They collected more than 2,000 cans of food in just two hours, which set a new school record. They all felt happy. After that, David led a second project, collecting 300 blankets and 1,000 pairs of shoes for the homeless, and then, a third one. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article, in which David’s picture was up for doing something greater.
After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him. He fully demonstrated his ability. All the teachers were surprised. They found that great changes were taking place on David. After he graduated from college, he opened his own company, where most workers were local people from his community. He proved his ability by his actions. From David’s story, we firmly believe that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending and once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest.

For the past 15 years, Denise has taught at a community school where students face significant economic and language challenges. In 2016, Denise met Dr. Jane Goodall at an event in the Bronx. Like Dr. Jane, Denise, who has a background in forestry, is always connected with nature and animals. Soon after, she started a Roots &Shoots program at her school. “I love to inspire that same connection in my students, ”said Denise.
To kick off their project, Denise introduced her group (19 first graders and 8 fifth-graders) to community mapping. “Where do you live What’s the name of your county What’s the name of your state ”she asked. “So it starts in your own backyard, ”she explains, “and it progresses across the street to the park, where you see urban wildlife, and finally you start to look at the bigger picture. ”Students then observed homeless cats outside their school, and together, they took action to return them to where they were found.
The students led the entire project. “I was just a guide, "says Denise. “But that’s the point:They are going to love science and animals. They know they are the future and that they are the people who are the keepers of this planet. ”She also notes that students come to understand what positive choices can have: They discover their own strengths and even weaknesses. They identify partners’ efforts and they form friendships and bonds.
But ultimately, says Denise, “my goal was to try to teach compassion, namely sympathy. That’s the biggest payoff she tries to convey to her students.” For other educators with a willing heart, she offers a few words of advice: Get students outside—even just to walk around the school grounds, guide them to build trust and put themselves in other’s shoes, and never give up!
24. What does the underlined phrase “that same connection” probably refer to
A. Love for nature and animals.
B. Desire for a higher social status.
C. Denise and Goodall’s relationship.
D. Courage to explore the unknown.
25. Which of the following might Denise agree with
A. There are many homeless cats to handle.
B. A bigger picture is built on urban wildlife.
C. Change may start from small things around.
D. Every kid should know their own county.
26. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Ways to brave hardships in life.
B. The project’s impact on students.
C. Links between human and nature.
D. Challenges to face in the future.
27 What does Denise most highlight in teaching
A. Being sympathetic. B. Remaining responsible.
C. Staying determined. D. Keeping sharp-minded.
C
In our human-centric view, the ability to shoot ink or change colors may seem odd, but you know what’s really odd Menopause (更年期). You can count species other than humans known to experience and outlive menopause on one hand. Only Oracs (虎鲸) and some whale populations have females that live long past their reproductive years to become grandmothers. But a new, landmark study confirms that at least one population of chimpanzees can now be added to the list.
The discovery comes as the result of 21 years’ worth of observing the Ngogo community of wild chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Studying urine from 66 Ngogo females, aged 14 to 67, showed that their hormone levels changed after approaching 50, confirming they were in menopause. Interestingly, 50 is also the age when many people begin to experience menopause. “It’s really cool to finally have that piece of the puzzle come into place,” says Catherine Hobaiter, a primatologist who was not part of the new study.
But Catherine points out that the Ngogo community lives in a chimp paradise: the resource-rich, well-protected Kibale National Park that also lacks leopards, their main predator. And because the Noggo community is found in the heart of the park, its only neighbors are other chimps — not humans who can expose chimpanzees to viruses that have devastated other communities. “The Ngogo population may be an outlier (局外人) when it comes to the rest of the species,” she cautions.
And there is a question concerning “the grandmother effect”, according to which a grandmother has a decidedly beneficial effect on her children and grandchildren. Chimpanzees do not form long-term pair-bonds and females leave in search of new communities when they reach maturity, which means grandmother chimpanzees likely don’t know who their grandchildren are in the same way humans or even orcas do. What they do after the menopause remains a question of interest. “And that’s all future work to be done.” said Catherine.
28. What can be learned about menopause
A. It is rare among animals. B. It is unique to human beings.
C. It just occurs at the age of 50. D. It is experienced only by females.
29. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Scientist have found the solution to menopause.
B. What happens to the 66 Ngogo females remains a puzzle.
C. There is a puzzle whether chimpanzee females experience menopause.
D. The latest discovery casts new light on the puzzle of animal menopause.
30. Why does Catherine mention the living situation of the Ngogo community
A. To stress the importance of protecting chimpanzees from viruses.
B. To remind researchers of the potential limitation of the new study.
C. To prove that Ngogo chimpanzees are perfect subjects of the study.
D. To argue that the discovery of the new study is completely groundless.
31. How is the last paragraph developed
A. By offering a definition. B. By drawing a conclusion.
C. By presenting relevant facts. D. By giving examples and opinions.
D
I spoke to my parents last night and for a moment I forgot I wasn’t really speaking to them, but to their digital replicas (复制品). They live inside an app as voice assistants constructed by the company HereAfter AI.
In fact, my parents are still alive and well; their virtual versions were made to help me understand the technology. Grief tech, which lets you “talk” with the people you’ve loved and lost, has been appearing in science fiction. But now it’s becoming a reality. Although the thought of it makes some frightened, it’s not hard to see the appeal that people might turn to digital replicas for comfort.
However, there is one major limitation. These replicas may sound like someone you love, but they know nothing about you. Anyone can talk to them, and get the same reply in the same tone. “The biggest issue with the technology is the idea that you can generate a single universal person,” says Justin Harrison, founder of a technological service.
Creating a virtual avatar you can have more conversation with contributes to your feeling connected to someone you loved and lost, says Erin Thompson, a clinical psychologist. But a grieving person needs to know that these bots can only capture a small part of someone rather than replace healthy, functional human relationships.
And there are other risks. Any service that allows you to create a digital replica of someone without that person’s participation raises complex moral issues. While some might argue that permission is less important with someone who is dead, can’t you also argue that the person who generated the other side of the conversation should have a say too And what if that person is not, in fact, dead
If digital replicas become mainstream, there will inevitably need to be new regulations around what we leave behind online. And we’ll be better off if we cope with the possibility of these replicas’ misuse before, not after, they reach mass adoption.
Anyway, I feel lucky to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with my parents, face to face, no technology involved.
32. Which of the following is not a drawback of digital replicas
A. They can’t vary their response accordingly.
B. They can’t mirror every aspect of a person.
C. They may pose threat to the interests of people alive.
D. It’s hard to gain permission from someone who is not alive.
33. What’s the author’s attitude towards grief tech
A. Favorable. B. Reasonable. C. Critical. D. Indifferent.
34. According to the last two paragraphs, what inspiration did the author draw from his experience
A. Technology is advancing faster than imagined.
B. Safety risks can be surely avoided by regulations.
C. Replicas will not be misused before widely adopted.
D. Cherish the beloved ones when they are still around.
35. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Reflections on grief tech. B. Ways to overcome our grief.
C. Technology to change our life. D. Controversy over digital replicas.

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。
Some people are just doomed (注定) to be failures. That’s the way some adults look at troubled kids. A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high. David was made to feel this way almost every day in school.
David was the most famous troublemaker in high school. He wasn’t confident and didn’t answer questions. From time to time he skipped classes and got into lots of fights. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. However, things gradually changed during a weekend leadership meeting. All the students at school had been invited to sign up for ACE training, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities.
At the start of the meeting, David was literally standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall, with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. He didn’t readily join the discussion groups. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in the discussion. David started to join them and he really had great ideas. The other students in David’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden David felt like a part of the group.
The next day, David was very active in all the sessions. By the end of the meeting, he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. They elected David co-chairman of the team.
The very first community service project organized by the Homeless Project team was to collect food for the homeless in the charge of David. But a group of teachers doubted whether this crucial beginning should be in the hands of David. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the ACE program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and reinforce (加强) its practice until true change can take place.
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。
Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him.
