第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分 60分)

A
What a year, it’s been for music! Although the industry is still influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, so many talented artists were able to put out hit songs, and music videos this year. Here are some of the best ones!
“Kiss Me More (feat. SZA)”— Doja Cat
It has taken Doja Cat many years to become an artist capable of critical respect. Planet Her is one of her most breathtaking albums released, and among so many standout tracks (歌曲), “Kiss Me More (feat. SZA)” takes the lead. With a tasty hook, soft and comforting disco atmosphere, the song deserves all the recognition it has gotten.
“Easy On Me”—Adele
Adele made her long-awaited return this year. Her track “Easy On Me” broke the world record for the most streamed song in 24 hours, with 24 million streams. Adele is the queen of ballads, and we. love “Easy On Me” for its subtle soul sounds, daring vocals, and heartfelt message about asking for forgiveness from our loved ones.
“Happier Than Ever”—Billie Eilish
Talented artists like Billie Eilish only come once in a generation. We believe “Happier Than Ever” is to Eilish what “Bohemian Rhapsody” is to Queen. Sure, maybe the former song isn’t as rock-heavy or revolutionary as the latter, but it is similarly emotional, vocally impressive, and a song we think will remain as a “classic” in years to come.
“Butter”—BTS
If the Beatles brought the “British Invasion” to the U. S. in the 60s, BTS is bringing the Korean Wave in the 2020s. This year, the beloved K-pop group’s “Butter” broke so-many records, and it’s hard to keep track. What makes the song so tasty is its sweet and playful atmosphere, amusing lyrics, and ability to show each group member’s unique personality. Because of that, it easily became a smooth summer anthem, which gives us a reason to smile, dance, and sing for a change.
21. Which of the following songs contains disco elements
A. Kiss Me More (feat. SZA). B. Easy On Me. C. Happier Than Ever. D. Butter.
22. What do Adele and Billie Eilish have in common
A. They are good at playing ballad and rock music. B. They are considered as queens of music.
C. They have produced high-quality music. D. They have broken the world record.
23. Where is the text most likely to be found
A. In a fashion magazine. B. In a biography.
C. In a local newspaper. D. On a music website.
B
Just two months before his senior year in high school, Foster Andersen was riding a motorcycle in his hometown of Henrietta, N.Y., when he crashed. The accident left him in a coma. He remained in a hospital for seven months.
In the nearly 40 years that have followed, Andersen has to use a wheelchair. He can write when a pen is intertwined in his fingers, but he needs an assistant to help him with everyday needs. However, a quick survey of his achievements shows not one, but two college degrees and a huge network of people who call him friend. And probably the best example of Andersen’s spirit is his nonprofit group Shared Adventures. Last summer the organization celebrated 21 years of bringing recreational and social activities to people with disabilities.
“It’s founded on the belief that recreation, fun, challenge and opportunity to the outdoors are necessary parts of a healthy life,” Andersen said. “We are the only year-round program that offers such a wide range of activities to people with physical challenges and special needs.”
Cycling is on today’s schedule. A group of about 50 people gather at the campus of California State University for a 25-mile ride along the California coast.
Besides cycling, Shared Adventures offers year-round classes in yoga, gardening and art. It also hosts many social events, such as a winter holiday party.
The most well-known event is called Day on the Beach. Last year, nearly 1,200 volunteers and participants gathered on the Cowell Beach in Santa Cruz to give participants a rare opportunity to surf in the Pacific Ocean.
Wendy Bell, a disabled yoga teacher and Day on the Beach participant, said the event is the best example of the great experience the organization offers. And Shared Adventures helps her in another way. “More than half of the people I meet are through Shared Adventures, so it provides something that can be hard to find elsewhere,” she said.
24. What can we know about Foster Andersen
A. He has spent most of his life writing. B. He built a big charity organization online.
C. He made a survey on people with disabilities. D. He has lived a rich and full life despite his disability.
25. What’s the purpose of Shared Adventures
A. It offers the disabled year-around indoor activities.
B It aims to improve the quality of disabled people’s life.
C. It helps the disabled face challenges and problems in life.
D It encourages people to hold a positive attitude towards life.
26. How does Shared Adventures benefit Wendy Bell
A. It helps her to show her yoga skills. B. It allows her to forget her disabilities.
C. It enables her to study the Pacific Ocean. D. It gives her a chance to set up her social network.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A Foster Anderson: try bravely without fear of failure
B. Foster Anderson: take action for extraordinary changes
C. Shared Adventures: save Foster Anderson
D. Shared Adventures: meet the recreational and social needs
C
Scientists say the plant enset, an Ethiopian staple (主食), could be a new superfood and a lifesaver in the face of climate change. The banana-like crop has the potential to feed more than 100 million people in a warming world, according to a new study.
Enset or “false banana”, almost unknown outside of Ethiopia, is a close relative of the banana, but is consumed only in one part of this country. The banana-like fruit of the plant is inedible, but the starchy stems (茎) and roots can be used to make porridge and bread. Research suggests the crop can be grown over a much larger range in Africa. “This is a crop that can play a really important role in addressing food security and sustainable development,” said a university professor in Awasa, Ethiopia.
Using agricultural surveys and modelling work, scientists predicted the potential range of enset over the next four decades. They found the crop could potentially feed more than 100 million people and boost food security in Ethiopia and other African countries, including Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.
Study researcher Dr James Borrell, of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, said planting enset, as an alternative for lean times, could help boost food security. “It’s got some really unusual features that make it absolutely unique as a crop,” he said. “You plant it at any time, you harvest it at any time. That’s why they call it the tree against hunger.”
There is growing interest in seeking new plants to feed the world, given our reliance on a few staple crops. Nearly half of all the calories we eat come from three species — rice, wheat, and maize. “We need to diversify the plants we use globally as a species because all our eggs are in a very small basket at the moment,” said Dr Borrell.
28. What does the underlined word “inedible” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Not secure enough. B. Not diverse enough.
C. Not fit to be planted. D. Not suitable to be eaten.
29. What do we know about Ethiopia’s enset from the text
A. It is a special species of banana.
B. It can help with solving food shortage.
C. It has fed more than 100 million people.
D. It can be grown at anytime and anywhere.
30. What is Dr Borrell’s attitude towards seeking new staple plants
A. Negative. B. Objective. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
31. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To provide a solution to food problems.
B. To advertise a unique banana-like staple.
C. To recommend a magic crop against hunger.
D. To introduce a wonder crop for climate change.
D
Have you ever had the urge to open a book and stick your nose straight into the pages The smell of old books can refresh any book lovers. We don’t know why, but it is just pleasant to us.
Describing the smell can be a challenge. And mere adjectives will likely be of little use to future generations of historians trying to document, understand or reproduce the scent (气味) of slowly decaying (腐朽) books. Now, that task may have just gotten easier thanks to the Historic Book Odor Wheel.
In one experiment, researchers asked visitors at the historic library to characterize the scents they smelled. All the visitors selected words like “woody”, “smoky” and “earthy” from the list, and described the smell’s intensity and perceived pleasantness. In another experiment, the study authors presented visitors to the Birmingham Museum with eight smells — one of which was an unlabeled historic book scent and seven were non-bookish, such as coffee, chocolate, fish market and dirty clothes. The researchers then had those museumgoers describe the historic book smell. The top two responses Chocolate and coffee. “You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are unlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.
The team even analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the book and the library. Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors’ smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to document the “historic library smell”. Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the smelly source, like furfural, fill the outer circle.
The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untrained noses” can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservators’ concerns about material composition and historic paper conservation. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to reconstruct a past we can no longer smell.
32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. A strange reading habit. B. Addiction to reading books.
C. A dislike for smelling books. D. Fascination for smells of books.
33. How do people usually describe unlabeled smells
A. By referring to familiar items. B. By using adjectives to label them.
C. By linking them with food smells. D. By analyzing chemical components.
34. What is the function of the “Historic Book Odor Wheel”
A. To characterize smells. B. To store book smells.
C. To collect history books. D. To test different scents.
35. What is the potential future application of the study
A. Creating a whole new scent.
B. Sharpening sensory perceptions.
C. Restoring smells of historic documents.
D. Extracting components of “old book smell”.

However, Scotland’s University of Stirling found that, in a question-and-answer study among children, those who maintained eye contact were less likely to come up with the correct answer to a question than those who looked away to consider their response. ____40____, when this energy could be spent on deep thinking.

67. 根据下面材料，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。
The icy wind howled across the empty street and it was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December 25th. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses’ station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day, for people were supposed to be spending time with their families, exchanging gifts and wishes.
I was guiding nurse that day and had just done clean-up in the waiting room. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I returned to the nurses’ station for a cup of hot coffee that someone had brought in for Christmas. Just then, a colleague came back and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated.
I was surprised, “Five, how did I get five; I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room.”
“Well, there are five signed in.”
So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my guiding desk, a pale short woman and four small children in untidy clothing.
“Are you all sick ” I asked suspiciously.
“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.
“Okay,” I replied, unconvinced, “Who’s first ” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual beginning questions. When it came to the descriptions of their symptoms, things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong with the picture. Our hospital policy, however, was not to turn away any patient, so we would see them. When I explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her because there were several more critical patients. She responded, “Take your time; it’s warm in here and there is a Christmas tree.”
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。
Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.

My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family.

【答案】17. B 18. A 19. A 20. A
【解析】
【原文】M: Hi, I’m Rick Steves. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, you’ll know that we began our tour in Amsterdam, walked our way through Germany and Austria, down into Italy, back up through Switzerland and this week we are in Paris. We won’t spend much time at the big attractions. In a tourist destination like Paris, even a new traveler knows to see the famous art museums of Paris and no one misses the Eiffel Tower. But we’re going to some of the places the average tourist misses. For instance, the best view in town may not be from the top of the Eiffe l Tower, but from the top of the Montparnasse Tower. The view includes the Eiffel Tower as well as everything else. It’s cheaper and easier to get up here. We can join a ride on a public bus. I like the views from Line 63. Or we can cruise through Paris in one of their river tour boats. To cover more territory, traffic and streets for you, I ride the subway. Many European cities have subway systems, the one in Paris is really amazing. You can go anywhere in town for a reasonable price. And don’t worry, getting lost is cheap. In fact, you could stay underground all day long on one ticket about the cost of a cup of coffee.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分 60分)
第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
What a year, it’s been for music! Although the industry is still influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, so many talented artists were able to put out hit songs, and music videos this year. Here are some of the best ones!
“Kiss Me More (feat. SZA)”— Doja Cat
It has taken Doja Cat many years to become an artist capable of critical respect. Planet Her is one of her most breathtaking albums released, and among so many standout tracks (歌曲), “Kiss Me More (feat. SZA)” takes the lead. With a tasty hook, soft and comforting disco atmosphere, the song deserves all the recognition it has gotten.
“Easy On Me”—Adele
Adele made her long-awaited return this year. Her track “Easy On Me” broke the world record for the most streamed song in 24 hours, with 24 million streams. Adele is the queen of ballads, and we. love “Easy On Me” for its subtle soul sounds, daring vocals, and heartfelt message about asking for forgiveness from our loved ones.
“Happier Than Ever”—Billie Eilish
Talented artists like Billie Eilish only come once in a generation. We believe “Happier Than Ever” is to Eilish what “Bohemian Rhapsody” is to Queen. Sure, maybe the former song isn’t as rock-heavy or revolutionary as the latter, but it is similarly emotional, vocally impressive, and a song we think will remain as a “classic” in years to come.
“Butter”—BTS
If the Beatles brought the “British Invasion” to the U. S. in the 60s, BTS is bringing the Korean Wave in the 2020s. This year, the beloved K-pop group’s “Butter” broke so-many records, and it’s hard to keep track. What makes the song so tasty is its sweet and playful atmosphere, amusing lyrics, and ability to show each group member’s unique personality. Because of that, it easily became a smooth summer anthem, which gives us a reason to smile, dance, and sing for a change.
21. Which of the following songs contains disco elements
A. Kiss Me More (feat. SZA). B. Easy On Me. C. Happier Than Ever. D. Butter.
22. What do Adele and Billie Eilish have in common
A. They are good at playing ballad and rock music. B. They are considered as queens of music.
C. They have produced high-quality music. D. They have broken the world record.
23. Where is the text most likely to be found

Just two months before his senior year in high school, Foster Andersen was riding a motorcycle in his hometown of Henrietta, N.Y., when he crashed. The accident left him in a coma. He remained in a hospital for seven months.
In the nearly 40 years that have followed, Andersen has to use a wheelchair. He can write when a pen is intertwined in his fingers, but he needs an assistant to help him with everyday needs. However, a quick survey of his achievements shows not one, but two college degrees and a huge network of people who call him friend. And probably the best example of Andersen’s spirit is his nonprofit group Shared Adventures. Last summer the organization celebrated 21 years of bringing recreational and social activities to people with disabilities.
“It’s founded on the belief that recreation, fun, challenge and opportunity to the outdoors are necessary parts of a healthy life,” Andersen said. “We are the only year-round program that offers such a wide range of activities to people with physical challenges and special needs.”
Cycling is on today’s schedule. A group of about 50 people gather at the campus of California State University for a 25-mile ride along the California coast.
Besides cycling, Shared Adventures offers year-round classes in yoga, gardening and art. It also hosts many social events, such as a winter holiday party.
The most well-known event is called Day on the Beach. Last year, nearly 1,200 volunteers and participants gathered on the Cowell Beach in Santa Cruz to give participants a rare opportunity to surf in the Pacific Ocean.
Wendy Bell, a disabled yoga teacher and Day on the Beach participant, said the event is the best example of the great experience the organization offers. And Shared Adventures helps her in another way. “More than half of the people I meet are through Shared Adventures, so it provides something that can be hard to find elsewhere,” she said.
24. What can we know about Foster Andersen
A. He has spent most of his life writing. B. He built a big charity organization online.
C. He made a survey on people with disabilities. D. He has lived a rich and full life despite his disability.
25. What’s the purpose of Shared Adventures
A. It offers the disabled year-around indoor activities.
B. It aims to improve the quality of disabled people’s life.
C. It helps the disabled face challenges and problems in life.
D. It encourages people to hold a positive attitude towards life.
26. How does Shared Adventures benefit Wendy Bell
A. It helps her to show her yoga skills. B. It allows her to forget her disabilities.
C. It enables her to study the Pacific Ocean. D. It gives her a chance to set up her social network.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Foster Anderson: try bravely without fear of failure

Scientists say the plant enset, an Ethiopian staple (主食), could be a new superfood and a lifesaver in the face of climate change. The banana-like crop has the potential to feed more than 100 million people in a warming world, according to a new study.
Enset or “false banana”, almost unknown outside of Ethiopia, is a close relative of the banana, but is consumed only in one part of this country. The banana-like fruit of the plant is inedible, but the starchy stems (茎) and roots can be used to make porridge and bread. Research suggests the crop can be grown over a much larger range in Africa. “This is a crop that can play a really important role in addressing food security and sustainable development,” said a university professor in Awasa, Ethiopia.
Using agricultural surveys and modelling work, scientists predicted the potential range of enset over the next four decades. They found the crop could potentially feed more than 100 million people and boost food security in Ethiopia and other African countries, including Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.
Study researcher Dr James Borrell, of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, said planting enset, as an alternative for lean times, could help boost food security. “It’s got some really unusual features that make it absolutely unique as a crop,” he said. “You plant it at any time, you harvest it at any time. That’s why they call it the tree against hunger.”
There is growing interest in seeking new plants to feed the world, given our reliance on a few staple crops. Nearly half of all the calories we eat come from three species — rice, wheat, and maize. “We need to diversify the plants we use globally as a species because all our eggs are in a very small basket at the moment,” said Dr Borrell.
28. What does the underlined word “inedible” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Not secure enough. B. Not diverse enough.
C. Not fit to be planted. D. Not suitable to be eaten.
29. What do we know about Ethiopia’s enset from the text
A. It is a special species of banana.
B. It can help with solving food shortage.
C. It has fed more than 100 million people.
D. It can be grown at anytime and anywhere.
30. What is Dr Borrell’s attitude towards seeking new staple plants
A. Negative. B. Objective. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
31. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To provide a solution to food problems.
B. To advertise a unique banana-like staple.
C. To recommend a magic crop against hunger.
D. To introduce a wonder crop for climate change.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了埃塞俄比亚的的一种可以帮助应对气候变化的神奇作物——enset，该作物的茎和根富含淀粉，有可能养活超过1亿人。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“The banana-like fruit of the plant is inedible, but the starchy stems and roots can be fermented and used to make porridge and bread. (这种植物的香蕉状果实是inedible，但富含淀粉的茎和根可以发酵并用来制作粥和面包。)”可知，这种植物的茎和根部可被食用，连接词but表示转折关系，推测划线单词表示“不宜食用的”，即not suitable to be eaten。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They found the crop could potentially feed more than 100 million people and boost food security in Ethiopia and other African countries, including Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. (他们发现，这种作物有可能养活一亿多人，并提高埃塞俄比亚和其他包括肯尼亚、乌干达和卢旺达在内的非洲国家的粮食保障。)”可知，enset可以提高非洲国家的粮食保障，在解决粮食短缺方面发挥重要作用。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘We need to diversify the plants we use globally as a species because all our eggs are in a very small basket at the moment,’ said Dr Borrell. (博雷尔博士说：‘我们作为一个物种，需要在全球范围内让植物更多样化，因为目前我们所有的鸡蛋都放在一个非常小的篮子里。’)”可知，博雷尔博士认为需要使我们使用的植物多样化，所以对于寻找新的主食植物持有支持态度。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Scientists say the plant enset, an Ethiopian staple, could be a new superfood and a lifesaver in the face of climate change. (科学家说，埃塞俄比亚的主要作物enset或将成为一种新的‘超级食物’，一种可以应对气候变化的救星。)”可知，本文的主要目的是介绍一种可以帮助应对气候变化的神奇作物——enset。故选D项。
D
Have you ever had the urge to open a book and stick your nose straight into the pages The smell of old books can refresh any book lovers. We don’t know why, but it is just pleasant to us.
Describing the smell can be a challenge. And mere adjectives will likely be of little use to future generations of historians trying to document, understand or reproduce the scent (气味) of slowly decaying (腐朽) books. Now, that task may have just gotten easier thanks to the Historic Book Odor Wheel.
In one experiment, researchers asked visitors at the historic library to characterize the scents they smelled. All the visitors selected words like “woody”, “smoky” and “earthy” from the list, and described the smell’s intensity and perceived pleasantness. In another experiment, the study authors presented visitors to the Birmingham Museum with eight smells — one of which was an unlabeled historic book scent and seven were non-bookish, such as coffee, chocolate, fish market and dirty clothes. The researchers then had those museumgoers describe the historic book smell. The top two responses Chocolate and coffee. “You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are unlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.
The team even analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the book and the library. Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors’ smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to document the “historic library smell”. Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the smelly source, like furfural, fill the outer circle.
The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untrained noses” can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservators’ concerns about material composition and historic paper conservation. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to reconstruct a past we can no longer smell.
32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. A strange reading habit. B. Addiction to reading books.
C. A dislike for smelling books. D. Fascination for smells of books.
33. How do people usually describe unlabeled smells
A. By referring to familiar items. B. By using adjectives to label them.
C. By linking them with food smells. D. By analyzing chemical components.
34. What is the function of the “Historic Book Odor Wheel”
A. To characterize smells. B. To store book smells.
C. To collect history books. D. To test different scents.
35. What is the potential future application of the study
A. Creating a whole new scent.
B. Sharpening sensory perceptions.
C. Restoring smells of historic documents.
D. Extracting components of “old book smell”.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种用于记录旧书气味的“气味轮”的诞生。研究人员通过在博物馆和图书馆组织游客进行气味感官描述，并开展化学分析，创建了历史书籍气味轮来记录“历史图书馆的气味”。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Have you ever had the urge to open a book and stick your nose straight into the pages The smell of old books can refresh any book lovers. We don’t know why, but it is just pleasant to us.(你是否曾经有过一种冲动，打开一本书，把鼻子直接伸进书页里？旧书的味道能让任何一个书迷焕然一新。我们不知道为什么，但这对我们来说很愉快。)”可知，第一段描述了我们对书籍气味的迷恋。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话““You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are unlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.(“当没有标签的气味时，你倾向于使用熟悉的联想来描述它们，”研究作者Cecilia Bembibre说)”及第三段全段对于实验过程的描述可知，人们在描述未知气味时，倾向于使用熟悉的事物来展开联想。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors’ smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to document the “historic library smell”. Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the smelly source, like furfural, fill the outer circle.(利用化学分析的数据和游客对气味的描述，研究人员创建了“历史图书气味轮”来记录“历史图书馆气味”。主要类别，如“甜/辣”，填满了轮子的内圈；描述符，如“巧克力/奶油”，填充在中间；而气味来源的化合物，如糠醛，则填满了外层。)”可知，“历史图书气味轮”的功能应是描述气味。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untrained noses” can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservators’ concerns about material composition and historic paper conservation. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to reconstruct a past we can no longer smell.(研究人员希望这本书的气味轮能成为一种工具，“未经训练的鼻子”可以用来识别气味和导致气味的化合物，这可以解决文物保护人员对材料组成和历史纸张保护的担忧。希望有一天，过去的气味可以在实验室里重现，博物馆和历史学家可以用它来重建我们再也闻不到的过去。)”可知，研究者们未来有望利用气味轮来保护历史材料文献、重现过去的气味。故选C。

67. 根据下面材料，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。
The icy wind howled across the empty street and it was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December 25th. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses’ station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day, for people were supposed to be spending time with their families, exchanging gifts and wishes.
I was guiding nurse that day and had just done clean-up in the waiting room. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I returned to the nurses’ station for a cup of hot coffee that someone had brought in for Christmas. Just then, a colleague came back and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated.
I was surprised, “Five, how did I get five; I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room.”
“Well, there are five signed in.”
So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my guiding desk, a pale short woman and four small children in untidy clothing.
“Are you all sick ” I asked suspiciously.
“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.
“Okay,” I replied, unconvinced, “Who’s first ” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual beginning questions. When it came to the descriptions of their symptoms, things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong with the picture. Our hospital policy, however, was not to turn away any patient, so we would see them. When I explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her because there were several more critical patients. She responded, “Take your time; it’s warm in here and there is a Christmas tree.”
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。
Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room. Though warm, it was uncomfortable for children, who nestled closely by the Christmas tree. The youngest kid was staring at gifts on the tree, exclaiming something to her mother. Unfortunately, she was met with refusal, which failed her to hold back tears. Guilty and upset, great sorrow clouded the mother. The rest froze, with eyes falling on their little sister. Realizing they were homeless, I went back and told my colleagues what had happened.
My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family. Soon we were busy preparing presents for our unexpected guests, who just wanted to stay warm on Christmas Day. With gifts in hand, the kids were wild with joy. A flush of happiness filled the waiting room and we were able to locate a shelter that would take the family in. As they were leaving, the mother hugged each us and whispered, “You’re our angels and it’s your love warms us up! As they disappeared into the far distance gradually, a strong sense of satisfaction poured into my mind. While I didn’t celebrate the festival with my loved ones, I extended warmth to the homeless family. Sometimes, only a little kindness can light something shining, making the world more beautiful and harmonious.
