Last year, I raced the Acura Ten Miler in Toronto. With 1-2 miles left, I noticed a female runner ahead of me who was weaving (穿行) in and out of a group of people, looking pale. Realizing something was wrong, I found a police officer and told him about it, and waited until she was close enough that I could point her out. He immediately called for an ambulance. I ran off and wondered how many people passed me, but I knew I did the right thing.
This Saturday, I raced the Canada Day 5K in Burlington. I’ve raced the course many times. My friend Monica and I went together with a goal to run competitively. I wanted to finish faster than I did in June, when my 5K time was 21:57. I felt it realistic to beat that time.
When the starting gun sounded, I went out fast and happened to run shoulder to shoulder with Monica’s daughter, but I soon pulled ahead. Shortly after, though, I heard “Please help me” from behind. Monica’s daughter is athletic, but she’s learning to run faster with her asthma (哮喘). Knowing that she had trouble, I stopped.
We finished the last 2K together. It troubled me when some runners passed me, and I had to stop to walk with her for a bit. But I thought making sure she was okay was more important, so I talked to her through the rest of the race. We finished together and cheered for her mom as she crossed the finishing line.
At last, my time was a bit longer than I wanted, but I was okay with that. If I had based my time on my age group’s winning time, I would have met my goal time. But I thought I made the right decision to help this girl get to the finishing line safely. For me, that was what mattered on Sunday morning. There will always be another race.

In the first half of 2022, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some dogs connect objects with words at a similar level to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs
Saho Takagi, a researcher at Azabu University, doubted cats’ seeming unconcern. “Cats don’t appear to listen to people’s conversations, but in fact, they do.” According to a past research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and attentional states, according to a 2021 study. However, cats can do more than that.
Another study showed that cats can discriminate their human-given name from the names of their cat friends (those that live in the same house) The researchers believed that cats learned to connect names with other cats by observing communication between their owners and their cat friends.
In a recently published study, Takagi and her colleagues compared two groups of cats: one group was made up of house cats and lived with at least two other cats; the other was made up of cats that lived in “cat cafés”, which had up to 30 cats. They used a simple, two-phase(阶段) test. During the name phase, the study participant(参与者) was softly placed in front of a laptop computer. Then the researcher played a recording of its owner saying the name of its cat companions(同伴).
Immediately after the name phase came the face phase. A cat’s face appeared on the monitor. Sometimes, the cat that appeared on the screen matched the name spoken; other times the name and the picture did not match. If cats knew the names of their cat friends, they would investigate by staring doubtfully at the monitor when the name and the picture did not match. House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that house cats generally expected an exact cat’s face upon hearing the cat’s name.
“This is the first to show that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences,” the researchers wrote, “However, we could not recognize the mechanism(机制) for learning. But with more and more scientists becoming interested in cats who are much smarter than we praise them, this question is sure to be solved.”
46. What’s people’s common understanding of cats
A. They have their own language.
B. They show no interest in human things.
C. They can connect objects with words.
D. They can use human instructions to find food.
47. By comparing cats and dogs in Paragraph 2, the author wants to stress ______.
A. cats and dogs get along well with humans
B. cats’ ability to learn is stronger than dogs’
C. cats’ ability goes beyond body language recognition
D. cats and dogs are all clever animals in people’s eyes
48. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “discriminate” in Paragraph 3
A. Tell. B. Protect. C. Excuse. D. Learn.
49. What did the researchers conclude about house cats from the study
A. They are curious about cat names.
B. They know the names of their cat friends.
C. They are dependent on their owners.
D They like communicating with each other.
50. What is the unsettled question of the study
A. How cats can recognize other cats’ face.
B. Whether cats are much smarter than expected.
C. Whether cats can understand human communication.
D. How cats link human words and their social companions.
【答案】46. B 47. C 48. A 49. B 50. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一项研究,该研究发现,家猫能够理解人类的语言,识别人类的面部表情。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In the first half of 2022, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some dogs connect objects with words at a similar level to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs ”(在2022年上半年,研究动物交流的科学家发现,一些狗与婴儿的语言水平相似。那么,人们普遍认为不关心人类事务的猫又是如何的呢 )可知,人们普遍认为猫对人类不感兴趣。故选B项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后三句“Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and attentional states, according to a 2016 study. However, cats can do more than that. ”(像狗一样,它们可以使用人类的指点和凝视来寻找食物。根据2016年的一项研究,他们甚至可以区分人类的面部表情和注意力状态。然而,猫可以做的不止于此。)可知,猫可以跟狗做一样辨别人的肢体语言,但是猫能做的可能会更多,所以通过对比,是为了强调猫能做的已经突破了对肢体语言的识别。故选C项。
【48题详解】
词义猜测题。 根据第三段第一句“Another study showed that cats can discriminate their human-given name from the names of their cat friends (those that live in the same household).” (另一项研究表明,猫可以……它们的人类名字和住在同一家庭的猫朋友的名字。)及最后一句“The researchers believed that cats learned to associate names with other cats by observing interactions between their owners and their cat friends.”(研究人员认为,猫通过观察主人和猫朋友之间的互动,学会了将名字与其他猫联系起来。)可知,猫可以学会把名字和其他的猫联系起来,那它们就可以把人类给的名字与他的猫朋友的名字区别开,故推知discriminate意为“区别,辨别”。故选A项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中最后一句“House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that household cats generally expected a specific cat’s face upon hearing the cat’s name.”(家猫的凝视时间明显长于猫咖的猫,这表明家猫在听到猫的名字时通常会期待特定的猫的脸出现。)可知,家猫听到猫的名字就会期待着看到特定的猫脸出现,由此可推断,家猫能够知道他们猫朋友的名字。故选B项。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中第一句“This is the first to show that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences”(这是第一次表明家猫通过日常经历将人类的语言和它们的社会伙伴联系起来。)及第二句“However, we could not recognize the mechanism for learning.”(但是,我们无法识别猫学习的机制。)可知,研究已经证实家猫能够通过日常经历将人类语言和他们的社交伙伴联系起来,但是却不知道他们学习的机制是什么,也就是不知道猫是如何把人类语言和其社交伙伴联系起来的。故选D项。
D
According to scientists, some tomatoes grown indoors are now just as flavorful as the ones grown outdoors in perfect summer conditions. There has been a lot of research and investment (投资) in hydroponic (水栽的) greenhouses, which allow farmers to grow tomatoes without soil, in recent years as consumers have needed more and better fresh vegetables year-round. “There’s a lot of techniques you can use to grow tomatoes off-season,” says Neil Mattson, co-director of Cornell University’s Controlled Environment Agriculture program. In the past five years, greenhouse tomato production has doubled.
That doesn’t mean all the tomatoes currently being grown in greenhouses are very flavorful. Flavor sometimes gets sacrificed for high yields (产量), just as it does in the production of commercial field-grown tomatoes. “The greenhouse is such an expensive structure that we’re paying a lot to heat and light,” Mattson says. Therefore, farmers often need to grow a lot of tomatoes to make up for it. “And just like the field-grown varieties, much greenhouse-grown fruit is harvested before its peak (顶峰) and travels long distances before it ends up in a supermarket,” he says.
But that’s all changing with the new hydroponic system. Researchers are now trying their best to save some ripening (成熟的) time by growing produce locally. Gotham Greens, based in New York City, grows hydroponic tomatoes year-round and sells them to local restaurants and supermarkets. And Backyard Farms, based in Maine, supplies its hydroponically grown crop to nearby markets in the Northeast.
“It’s becoming increasingly important now that global warming is making outdoor farming less predictable (可预料的) , but greenhouse growers don’t have to worry about a heavy rain or a cold day destroying their fruit,” says Gene Giacomelli, who directs the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center at the University of Arizona. The advantages of a greenhouse are that growers can control the amount of heat and light their crops get. Many are equipped with man-made lights that growers can turn on when sunlight is not enough. And the hydroponic system allows them to control pretty much everything else.
“That’s not to say we’ll value the summer harvest any less. In the end, I still love growing my own tomatoes in my backyard in the summer,” Mattson says. “It’s psychological (心理的) ,but I think they taste best.”
51. What benefited the doubling of greenhouse tomato production
A. Improving the taste of tomatoes.
B. Developing high-yielding tomatoes.
C. Growing tomatoes all year round outdoors now.
D. Using technology for tomatoes’ growth off-season.
52. What does the underlined word “sacrificed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Settled for. B. Turned up. C. Given up. D. Looked down.
53. By mentioning Gotham Greens and Backyard Farms, the author wants to stress ______.
A. farmers’ expectation to ensure tomatoes’ high yield
B. researchers’ efforts to make tomatoes more flavorful
C. the need for locally grow n high-quality tomatoes
D. the important change in produce transportation systems
54. How does the hydroponic system help farmers fight global warming
A. By making the soil richer for planting.
B. By improving crop’s adaptability to climate change.
C. By providing better conditions for crops’ growth.
D. By giving much more correct and timely weather predictions.
55. What’s Mattson’s attitude towards outdoor farming
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】51. D 52. C 53. B 54. C 55. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了室内种植番茄如何通过水培温室技术变得与户外生长的番茄一样美味。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句话““There’s a lot of techniques you can use to grow tomatoes off-season,” says Neil Mattson, co-director of Cornell University’s Controlled Environment Agriculture program. In the past five years, greenhouse tomato production has doubled.(康奈尔大学受控环境农业项目联合主任Neil Mattson说:“有很多技术可以在淡季种植西红柿。”。在过去的五年里,温室番茄产量翻了一番)”可知,利用技术使番茄在淡季的生长使温室番茄的产量翻了一翻。故选D。
【52题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句话“That doesn’t mean all the tomatoes currently being grown in greenhouses are very flavorful. (这并不意味着目前在温室里种植的所有番茄都很美味)”可知,温室种植的西红柿可能不是很美味,因为有时候为了提高产量而牺牲了味道。所以划线单词的意思为“牺牲”,此处指放弃了西红柿的美味。故选C。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But that’s all changing with the new hydroponic system. Researchers are now trying their best to save some ripening(成熟的) time by growing produce locally. Gotham Greens, based in New York City, grows hydroponic tomatoes year-round and sells them to local restaurants and supermarkets. And Backyard Farms, based in Maine, supplies its hydroponically grown crop to nearby markets in the Northeast.(但这一切都随着新的水培系统而改变。研究人员现在正尽力通过在当地种植农产品来节省一些成熟时间。总部位于纽约市的哥谭格林公司全年种植水培番茄,并将其出售给当地餐馆和超市。总部位于缅因州的后院农场向东北部附近的市场供应水培作物)”可推知,第二段提到Gotham Greens和Backyard Farms是为了突出指出研究人员正在努力改变西红柿的成熟时间,从而让它们尝起来更美味。故选B。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后三句话“The advantages of a greenhouse are that growers can control the amount of heat and light their crops get. Many are equipped with man-made lights that growers can turn on when sunlight is not enough. And the hydroponic system allows them to control pretty much everything else.(温室的优点是种植者可以控制作物的热量和光照。许多都配备了人造灯,当阳光不足时,种植者可以打开这些灯。水培系统使他们几乎可以控制其他一切)”可知,水培系统通过为作物生长提供更好的条件来帮助农民对抗全球变暖。故选C。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““That’s not to say we’ll value the summer harvest any less. In the end, I still love growing my own tomatoes in my backyard in the summer,” Mattson says. “It’s psychological(心理的),but I think they taste best.”(马特森说:“这并不是说我们会低估夏季的收成。最终,我仍然喜欢在夏天在后院种植自己的西红柿。”。“这是心理上的(心理的),但我觉得味道最好。”)”可知,Mattson认为户外种植的西红柿味道是最好的。由此可推知,他对户外种植西红柿持肯定和支持的态度。故选A。

阅读表达
When I was ten years old, on a family vacation to Las Vegas, I felt very uncomfortable. I was immediately taken to the hospital. It turned out that I had a big stroke(中风). It made me no longer able to talk, read, write and understand what anyone was saying to me. The entire right side of my body had no feeling.
I stayed in the hospital for months. There I met my favorite doctor. Her last visit was the most important visit of all. She sent me a box as a gift. Inside was a little toy figure of a soldier. She said, “He’s a fighter. You should be like him, David. As long as you try to be him, you can triumph over your illness at last.” She moved her arms as she was fighting to help me understand.
The next few years’ fighting was really hard. I went to lots of speech and physical treatments. I did learn to walk again, but my right arm remained unable to feel anything. Slowly, I learned to talk again. I started with one syllable(音节)-then more. It allowed me to go to a special school. But I couldn’t even spell my own name. Everything was about language and letters. Talking was hard. So was reading. I was sad. But I was still intelligent. Eventually, I decided to let life move on and do something for other stroke survivors.
To help them, I founded a nonprofit organization. I wrote a book on stroke recovery, which has become a guide for stroke survivors and their family members. To help people like me, I also keep speaking at national conferences and hospitals about how to better recover from the disease. Recently, I was invited to speak at a stroke conference to doctors and patients and tell my story.
Today, I can walk, run, and drive. But I still can’t use my right arm. However, there are so many things I can do. The fight to recover is hard. I’ll never, ever give up.

Last year, I raced the Acura Ten Miler in Toronto. With 1-2 miles left, I noticed a female runner ahead of me who was weaving (穿行) in and out of a group of people, looking pale. Realizing something was wrong, I found a police officer and told him about it, and waited until she was close enough that I could point her out. He immediately called for an ambulance. I ran off and wondered how many people passed me, but I knew I did the right thing.
This Saturday, I raced the Canada Day 5K in Burlington. I’ve raced the course many times. My friend Monica and I went together with a goal to run competitively. I wanted to finish faster than I did in June, when my 5K time was 21:57. I felt it realistic to beat that time.
When the starting gun sounded, I went out fast and happened to run shoulder to shoulder with Monica’s daughter, but I soon pulled ahead. Shortly after, though, I heard “Please help me” from behind. Monica’s daughter is athletic, but she’s learning to run faster with her asthma (哮喘). Knowing that she had trouble, I stopped.
We finished the last 2K together. It troubled me when some runners passed me, and I had to stop to walk with her for a bit. But I thought making sure she was okay was more important, so I talked to her through the rest of the race. We finished together and cheered for her mom as she crossed the finishing line.
At last, my time was a bit longer than I wanted, but I was okay with that. If I had based my time on my age group’s winning time, I would have met my goal time. But I thought I made the right decision to help this girl get to the finishing line safely. For me, that was what mattered on Sunday morning. There will always be another race.
41. What did the author do during the Acura Ten Miler race

A. Cautious. B. Nervous. C. Bored. D. Confident.
43 How did the author help Monica’s daughter

A. Honest and dependable. B. Amazing and hard-working.
C. Helpful and kind. D. Talkative and cheerful.
45. What can be the theme for the text
A. Learn to walk before you run. B. Actions speak louder than words.

In the first half of 2022, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some dogs connect objects with words at a similar level to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs
Saho Takagi, a researcher at Azabu University, doubted cats’ seeming unconcern. “Cats don’t appear to listen to people’s conversations, but in fact, they do.” According to a past research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and attentional states, according to a 2021 study. However, cats can do more than that.
Another study showed that cats can discriminate their human-given name from the names of their cat friends (those that live in the same house). The researchers believed that cats learned to connect names with other cats by observing communication between their owners and their cat friends.
In a recently published study, Takagi and her colleagues compared two groups of cats: one group was made up of house cats and lived with at least two other cats; the other was made up of cats that lived in “cat cafés”, which had up to 30 cats. They used a simple, two-phase(阶段) test. During the name phase, the study participant(参与者) was softly placed in front of a laptop computer. Then the researcher played a recording of its owner saying the name of its cat companions(同伴).
Immediately after the name phase came the face phase. A cat’s face appeared on the monitor. Sometimes, the cat that appeared on the screen matched the name spoken; other times the name and the picture did not match. If cats knew the names of their cat friends, they would investigate by staring doubtfully at the monitor when the name and the picture did not match. House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that house cats generally expected an exact cat’s face upon hearing the cat’s name.
“This is the first to show that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences,” the researchers wrote, “However, we could not recognize the mechanism(机制) for learning. But with more and more scientists becoming interested in cats who are much smarter than we praise them, this question is sure to be solved.”
46. What’s people’s common understanding of cats
A. They have their own language.
B. They show no interest in human things.
C. They can connect objects with words.
D. They can use human instructions to find food.
47. By comparing cats and dogs in Paragraph 2, the author wants to stress ______.
A. cats and dogs get along well with humans
B. cats’ ability to learn is stronger than dogs’
C. cats’ ability goes beyond body language recognition
D. cats and dogs are all clever animals in people’s eyes
48. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “discriminate” in Paragraph 3
A. Tell. B. Protect. C. Excuse. D. Learn.
49. What did the researchers conclude about house cats from the study
A. They are curious about cat names.
B. They know the names of their cat friends.
C. They are dependent on their owners.
D. They like communicating with each other.
50. What is the unsettled question of the study
A. How cats can recognize other cats’ face.
B. Whether cats are much smarter than expected.
C. Whether cats can understand human communication.
D. How cats link human words and their social companions.
D
According to scientists, some tomatoes grown indoors are now just as flavorful as the ones grown outdoors in perfect summer conditions. There has been a lot of research and investment (投资) in hydroponic (水栽的) greenhouses, which allow farmers to grow tomatoes without soil, in recent years as consumers have needed more and better fresh vegetables year-round. “There’s a lot of techniques you can use to grow tomatoes off-season,” says Neil Mattson, co-director of Cornell University’s Controlled Environment Agriculture program. In the past five years, greenhouse tomato production has doubled.
That doesn’t mean all the tomatoes currently being grown in greenhouses are very flavorful. Flavor sometimes gets sacrificed for high yields (产量), just as it does in the production of commercial field-grown tomatoes. “The greenhouse is such an expensive structure that we’re paying a lot to heat and light,” Mattson says. Therefore, farmers often need to grow a lot of tomatoes to make up for it. “And just like the field-grown varieties, much greenhouse-grown fruit is harvested before its peak (顶峰) and travels long distances before it ends up in a supermarket,” he says.
But that’s all changing with the new hydroponic system. Researchers are now trying their best to save some ripening (成熟的) time by growing produce locally. Gotham Greens, based in New York City, grows hydroponic tomatoes year-round and sells them to local restaurants and supermarkets. And Backyard Farms, based in Maine, supplies its hydroponically grown crop to nearby markets in the Northeast.
“It’s becoming increasingly important now that global warming is making outdoor farming less predictable (可预料的) , but greenhouse growers don’t have to worry about a heavy rain or a cold day destroying their fruit,” says Gene Giacomelli, who directs the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center at the University of Arizona. The advantages of a greenhouse are that growers can control the amount of heat and light their crops get. Many are equipped with man-made lights that growers can turn on when sunlight is not enough. And the hydroponic system allows them to control pretty much everything else.
“That’s not to say we’ll value the summer harvest any less. In the end, I still love growing my own tomatoes in my backyard in the summer,” Mattson says. “It’s psychological (心理的) ,but I think they taste best.”
51. What benefited the doubling of greenhouse tomato production
A. Improving the taste of tomatoes.
B. Developing high-yielding tomatoes.
C. Growing tomatoes all year round outdoors now.
D. Using technology for tomatoes’ growth off-season.
52. What does the underlined word “sacrificed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Settled for. B. Turned up. C. Given up. D. Looked down.
53. By mentioning Gotham Greens and Backyard Farms, the author wants to stress ______.
A. farmers’ expectation to ensure tomatoes’ high yield
B. researchers’ efforts to make tomatoes more flavorful
C. the need for locally grow n high-quality tomatoes
D. the important change in produce transportation systems
54. How does the hydroponic system help farmers fight global warming
A. By making the soil richer for planting.
B. By improving crop’s adaptability to climate change.
C. By providing better conditions for crops’ growth.
D. By giving much more correct and timely weather predictions.
55. What’s Mattson’s attitude towards outdoor farming
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.

When I was ten years old, on a family vacation to Las Vegas, I felt very uncomfortable. I was immediately taken to the hospital. It turned out that I had a big stroke(中风). It made me no longer able to talk, read, write and understand what anyone was saying to me. The entire right side of my body had no feeling.
I stayed in the hospital for months. There I met my favorite doctor. Her last visit was the most important visit of all. She sent me a box as a gift. Inside was a little toy figure of a soldier. She said, “He’s a fighter. You should be like him, David. As long as you try to be him, you can triumph over your illness at last.” She moved her arms as she was fighting to help me understand.
The next few years’ fighting was really hard. I went to lots of speech and physical treatments. I did learn to walk again, but my right arm remained unable to feel anything. Slowly, I learned to talk again. I started with one syllable(音节)-then more. It allowed me to go to a special school. But I couldn’t even spell my own name. Everything was about language and letters. Talking was hard. So was reading. I was sad. But I was still intelligent. Eventually, I decided to let life move on and do something for other stroke survivors.
To help them, I founded a nonprofit organization. I wrote a book on stroke recovery, which has become a guide for stroke survivors and their family members. To help people like me, I also keep speaking at national conferences and hospitals about how to better recover from the disease. Recently, I was invited to speak at a stroke conference to doctors and patients and tell my story.
Today, I can walk, run, and drive. But I still can’t use my right arm. However, there are so many things I can do. The fight to recover is hard. I’ll never, ever give up.
