No matter how successful—or lately, unsuccessful—Manchester United has been on the court, which has always prided itself on an incredible ability to generate the game’s brightest young stars. The latest breakthrough talent, it seems, is 18-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
The teenager’s emergence from the youth academy (学院) has been one of the few satisfying points in an otherwise difficult season for the team, and the highlight of his fledgling (刚刚起步的) career came during United’s 4—3 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday.
After the host had seemingly got a draw in the 95th minute of the match, Mainoo showed his considerable potential by scoring a winner in the dying moment. The English youngster received the ball under pressure outside of the opposition’s box before rushing his way towards the goal, hitting against a Wolves defender on the way. Then, when other players might have panicked, Mainoo was composed and guided a perfect shot into the far corner of the net.
While his teammates celebrated wildly, Mainoo knelt down and slid towards the crowd after scoring his first Premier League goal. It was a sensational moment and a goal which might change the teenager’s life forever.
“I’ve still not come down from it. I still feel like I’m dreaming, to be honest,” Mainoo told TNT Sports after the match. “To start playing in the Premier League for my boyhood club has been amazing. Now I am just trying to play more games and win more games.”
There have been moments this season, though, where his inexperience has shown, but the future looks bright for the young midfielder who seems to have his feet firmly on the ground. “He is making incredible progress. He has great abilities as a modern midfield player,” Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag told reporters after the game. “He can defend and attack but also he has the physicality to do both ways.”
Manchester United is currently ranked seventh in the Premier League and they are working hard to secure the top four, which will ensure qualification for next season’s Champions League.
4. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Kobbie Mainoo
A. His goals. B. His education.
C. His teammates. D. His performance.
5. What does the underlined word “sensational” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Boring. B. Dramatic. C. Suitable. D. Possible.
6. Which word can best describe Kobbie Mainoo
A. Ambitious. B. Humorous. C. Experienced. D. Shy.
7. What is the aim of Manchester United now
A. To bring out more young stars.
B. To qualify for the next Premier League.
C. To play in the Champions League next season.
D. To finish in the top seven of the Premier League.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了曼联最新的突破天才——18岁的中场科比·迈努。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“After the host had seemingly got a draw in the 95th minute of the match, Mainoo showed his considerable potential by scoring a winner in the dying moment. The English youngster received the ball under pressure outside of the opposition’s box before rushing his way towards the goal, hitting against a Wolves defender on the way. Then, when other players might have panicked, Mainoo was composed and guided a perfect shot into the far corner of the net. (在比赛进行到第95分钟的时候,东道主似乎取得了平局,迈努在最后时刻打进了一球,显示了他的巨大潜力。这名英格兰小将在对方禁区外的压力下接球,然后冲向球门,途中击中了狼队的一名后卫。然后,当其他球员可能会惊慌失措时,迈努镇定自若,将一记完美的射门射进了远角。)”可知,本段主要介绍了Kobbie Mainoo在赛场上的表现。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词前“While his teammates celebrated wildly, Mainoo knelt down and slid towards the crowd after scoring his first Premier League goal. (当他的队友们疯狂地庆祝时,迈努在打进他的第一个英超进球后,跪下向人群滑去。)”及画线词后“a goal which might change the teenager’s life forever. (这个目标可能会永远改变这个少年的生活。)”可推断,这是一个轰动性的时刻,画线词sensational意为“轰动性的”,和Dramatic最接近。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段““I’ve still not come down from it. I still feel like I’m dreaming, to be honest,” Mainoo told TNT Sports after the match. “To start playing in the Premier League for my boyhood club has been amazing. Now I am just trying to play more games and win more games.” (“我到现在还没有从那里下来。说实话,我仍然觉得我在做梦,”马努在赛后告诉TNT体育。“开始为我儿时的俱乐部在英超踢球真是太棒了。现在我只想打更多的比赛,赢得更多的比赛。”)”和第六段“He is making incredible progress. (他正在取得令人难以置信的进步。)” 可推断,Kobbie Mainoo是一个有抱负的人。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Manchester United is currently ranked seventh in the Premier League and they are working hard to secure the top four, which will ensure qualification for next season’s Champions League. (曼联目前在英超排名第七,他们正在努力确保前四,这将确保下赛季的欧冠资格。)”可知,曼联队现在的目标是参加下一个赛季的欧洲冠军联赛。故选C。

Retired Army Col. Farrell Patrick taught computer science at West Point during the 1970s and then at two private universities through the 1990s, so he isn’t surprised by the progress technology has made over the decades. But when the 91-year-old got his first virtual reality (VR) experience recently, he was amazed.
Sitting in a conference room at John Knox Village, Patrick sat up straight as his eyes and ears experienced what it would be like to be in a Navy fighter jet flying off the Florida coast. John Knox Village was one of 17 senior communities around the country that participated in a recently published Stanford University study.
During the study, the seniors were picked from seven-minute virtual experiences such as riding in a tank, watching stage performances, playing with dogs and cats or visiting places like Paris or Egypt. The participants wore headsets that gave them 360-degree views and sounds, making it seem like they had been all but dropped into the actual experience.
The study, working with the company Mynd Immersive, found that almost 80% of the seniors reported having a more positive attitude after their VR session and almost 60% said they felt less isolated socially. The enjoyment lessened somewhat for older respondents whose sight and hearing had deteriorated (恶化). Those who found VR less enjoyable were also more likely to dislike technology in general.
The company has worked on the biggest complaints the seniors in the study had about VR—the headsets were too heavy and the heat they generated made the seniors’ foreheads sweat. The new headsets weigh about six ounces (189 grams) instead of a pound (454 grams). Besides, they have a built-in fan for cooling, and the videos aren’t as jumpy.
Patrick says he hopes to live to 100 because he believes the next five years will see momentous changes in VR. Still a technology enthusiast, he believes the cost of systems will drop dramatically and become part of everyday living, even for seniors.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the topic. B. To reach a conclusion.
C. To present an argument. D. To make a definition.
9 Why does the author mention “Paris or Egypt” in paragraph 3
A. To illustrate the two cities’ support for VR.
B. To explain why seniors are crazy about traveling.
C. To compare the differences between the two cities.
D. To show the VR experiences the seniors can choose from.
10. What did the study find
A. Most seniors enjoyed VR. B. Old people preferred socializing.
C. Seniors’ sight and hearing became worse. D. Most retired people disliked high-tech products.
11. What do the figures in paragraph 5 indicate about Mynd Immersive
A. Its products hardly appeal to seniors. B. Its goal is to produce high-quality videos.
C. It has made improvements on the headsets. D. It has got a lot of complaints from teenagers.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了斯坦福大学发布的研究,研究主要介绍了老年人体验VR的活动,以及老年人对VR的评价。作为代表的Patrick认为VR的未来是可期的。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But when the 91-year-old got his first virtual reality (VR) experience recently, he was amazed.(但是当这个91岁的老人第一次经历虚拟现实体验时,他感到十分惊讶。)”以及后文对这次体验的详细介绍可知,第一段介绍Patrick这个人的背景和体验感受是为了引入主题,故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“During the study, the seniors picked from seven-minute virtual experiences such as riding in a tank, watching stage performances, playing with dogs and cats or visiting places like Paris or Egypt.(在这项研究中,老年人可从七分钟的虚拟体验中挑选活动,比如说乘坐坦克、观看舞台表演、与猫狗玩耍或参观巴黎或埃及等地。)”可知,本段提到巴黎和埃及是因为巴黎和埃及是七分钟的虚拟体验的活动之一,也就是老年人可以选择的体验,故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The study, working with the company Mynd Immersive, found that almost 80% of the seniors reported having a more positive attitude after their VR session and almost 60% said they felt less isolated socially.(这项与Mynd Immersive公司合作的研究发现,80%的老年人报道说在虚拟现实课堂后表现出积极的态度,近60%的人表示他们在社交上感到不那么孤立。)”可知,80%和60%的老年人在参加虚拟课堂后表现积极,他们表示很喜欢虚拟现实,故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The new headsets weigh about six ounces (189 grams) instead of a pound (454 grams).(新的耳机大概重6盎司(189克),而不是1磅(454克)。)”可知,参加研究的老年人抱怨耳机太重了,因此新的耳机的重量大大减少,故此数据表明Mynd Immersive公司在耳机上做出的改进,故选C。
D
For generations, Nafisa Bayniyazova and her family have made a living growing melons, pumpkins and tomatoes on farms around the Aral Sea. Bayniyazova, 50, has spent most of her life near Muynak, in northwestern Uzbekistan, tending the land. Farm life was sometimes difficult but generally reliable and productive.
Now, Bayniyazova and other residents say they’re facing a disaster they can’t beat: climate change, which is speeding up the decades-long disappearance of the Aral, once the lifeblood for the thousands living around it.
Decades ago, deep blue and filled with fish, the Aral was one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water. Thousands of migrants from across Asia and Europe moved to the Aral’s shores for jobs popping up everywhere from canning factories to luxury vacation resorts. Today, the few remaining towns sit quiet along the former seabed of the Aral—technically classified as a lake, due to its lack of a direct outlet to the ocean, though residents and officials call it a sea.
Much of its early disappearance is due to human engineering and agricultural projects gone wrong, now paired with climate change. Summers are hotter and longer; winters, shorter and bitterly cold.
Without the moderating influence of a large body of water to regulate the climate, dust storms began to blow through towns. Strong winds caused dunes (沙丘) to swallow entire towns, and abandoned buildings were filled with sand. A dozen fish species went extinct, and businesses closed down. “The fish factories closed, the ships were stuck in the harbor, and the workers all left,” said Madi Zhasekenov, former director of the Aral Sea Fisherman Museum in Aralsk, Kazakhstan. “It became only us locals.”
On her Uzbekistan farm, Bayniyazova’s family has dug an earthen well, hoping to hold on to the precious little water that’s left. “If there is no water, it will be very difficult for people to live,” Bayniyazova said. “Now people are barely surviving.” She doesn’t plan to leave her farm but yet knows more hardships are likely ahead.
12. How is paragraph 3 developed
A. By reasoning. B. By making comparison.
C. By experimenting. D. By analyzing data.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. The number of fish in the Aral Sea is increasing.
B. Madi Zhasekenov feels hopeful about his future.
C. Local people around the Aral have lost their livelihoods.
D. Madi Zhasekenov has adapted to the changing climate.
14. How does Bayniyazova feel now
A. Ashamed. B. Worried. C. Relieved. D. Embarrassed.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Importance of the Aral Sea
B. How to Deal With the Aral Sea Disaster
C. We Will Face the Challenge of Adapting to Climate Change
D. Climate Change Is Quickening the Disappearance of the Aral Sea
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲的是气候变化正在加速咸海的消失。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Decades ago, deep blue and filled with fish, the Aral was one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water... Today, the few remaining towns sit quiet along the former seabed of the Aral... (几十年前,深蓝色的咸海是世界上最大的内陆水体之一,到处都是鱼。成千上万来自亚洲和欧洲的移民来到咸海沿岸,从罐头工厂到豪华度假胜地,到处都是工作机会。如今,仅存的几个城镇安静地坐落在咸海的前海床上)”可知,本段主要是通过作比较展开的。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“A dozen fish species went extinct, and businesses closed down. “The fish factories closed, the ships were stuck in the harbor, and the workers all left,” said Madi Zhasekenov, former director of the Aral Sea Fisherman Museum in Aralsk, Kazakhstan. “It became only us locals.” (十几种鱼类灭绝,企业倒闭。哈萨克斯坦阿拉尔斯克咸海渔民博物馆前馆长马迪·扎塞克诺夫(Madi Zhasekenov)说:“渔业工厂关闭了,船只被困在港口,工人们都离开了。”“它变成了只有我们当地人。”)”可推断,咸海周围的当地人失去了生计。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““If there is no water, it will be very difficult for people to live,” Bayniyazova said. “Now people are barely surviving.” She doesn’t plan to leave her farm but yet knows more hardships are likely ahead. (她说:“如果没有水,人们将很难生存。“现在人们几乎无法生存。”她不打算离开她的农场,但她知道前方可能会有更多的困难。)” 可推断,Bayniyazova感到很担心。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“Now, Bayniyazova and other residents say they’re facing a disaster they can’t beat:climate change, which is speeding up the decades-long disappearance of the Aral, once the lifeblood for the thousands living around it. (现在,拜尼亚佐娃和其他居民说,他们正面临着一场无法战胜的灾难:气候变化,它正在加速咸海长达数十年的消失,而咸海曾经是周围数千人的命脉。)”可知,本文主要讲的是气候变化正在加速咸海的消失。故选D。

47. 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。
A woman remarried a man from Mexico. She already had a 16-year-old daughter named Bethany, while her husband had a 14-year-old daughter named Maria. Maria and Bethany had been in each other’s lives since they were children. Their relationship as stepsisters was good until recently.
The entire family was busy planning Maria’s Quinceanera (成人礼). The woman’s husband and his ex-wife joined forces to get her a beautiful dress to celebrate the occasion. In total, the dress cost $3,000.
Bethany made it clear that she was jealous (嫉妒的) of the party. Her mom had to make her understand that in Mexican culture, a Quinceanera was a great deal, just like how she had a sweet sixteen party. However, Bethany kept comparing her party to that of Maria’s. It was a massive issue for her, and it reflected in the way she behaved around everyone at home.
Knowing how it made Bethany feel, the mom tried to spend more time with her daughter to assure her that she wasn’t being disregarded. They even got her a lovely dress for the Quinceanera, but much cheaper than Maria’s dress.
Two weeks before the big day, Maria and Bethany got into an argument regarding the TV. Bethany retaliated (报复) against her stepsister by tearing off the back part of her Quinceanera dress. After finding out what Bethany did, everyone was angry. The mom couldn’t believe what her daughter did and quickly gave her husband and his ex-wife money to get a new dress.
The mom told Bethany that she needed to get a job to pay back the total price of the dress. It was her punishment for such an unreasonable act against her stepsister. However, Bethany claimed her mom was unfair by choosing Maria over her. This made the mom question whether she was in the wrong for giving her daughter no choice but to find a job. She wrote about the story online, hoping to get opinions from others on whether what she did was wrong.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To her surprise, she got everybody’s support.

Finally, the mom was determined to teach her 16-year-old a lesson.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】To her surprise, she got everybody’s support. “Bethany did a very wrong thing, and I agree she needs to make up for the dress,” one user confirmed. “Her behavior is absolutely terrible, and she should pay back the dress. Any money you give her for fun should be kept for now, in addition to getting a job,” one voiced out. “What she’s done is legally called malicious damage to property. Does she understand that charges could be laid against her if she did this to a non-family member ” another pointed out.
Finally, the mom was determined to teach her 16-year-old a lesson. Angry as she was, Bethany had no choice but to obey her mom whose attitude seemed very firm this time. She worked hard day and night. Through the hard work, she came to understand what she had done to her sister was irresponsible. So she expressed her heartfelt apology to her sister on the day of her sister’s Quinceanera. The mom felt very relieved the relationship between her two daughters became as close as before!

No matter how successful—or lately, unsuccessful—Manchester United has been on the court, which has always prided itself on an incredible ability to generate the game’s brightest young stars. The latest breakthrough talent, it seems, is 18-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
The teenager’s emergence from the youth academy (学院) has been one of the few satisfying points in an otherwise difficult season for the team, and the highlight of his fledgling (刚刚起步) career came during United’s 4—3 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday.
After the host had seemingly got a draw in the 95th minute of the match, Mainoo showed his considerable potential by scoring a winner in the dying moment. The English youngster received the ball under pressure outside of the opposition’s box before rushing his way towards the goal, hitting against a Wolves defender on the way. Then, when other players might have panicked, Mainoo was composed and guided a perfect shot into the far corner of the net.
While his teammates celebrated wildly, Mainoo knelt down and slid towards the crowd after scoring his first Premier League goal. It was a sensational moment and a goal which might change the teenager’s life forever.
“I’ve still not come down from it. I still feel like I’m dreaming, to be honest,” Mainoo told TNT Sports after the match. “To start playing in the Premier League for my boyhood club has been amazing. Now I am just trying to play more games and win more games.”
There have been moments this season, though, where his inexperience has shown, but the future looks bright for the young midfielder who seems to have his feet firmly on the ground. “He is making incredible progress. He has great abilities as a modern midfield player,” Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag told reporters after the game. “He can defend and attack but also he has the physicality to do both ways.”
Manchester United is currently ranked seventh in the Premier League and they are working hard to secure the top four, which will ensure qualification for next season’s Champions League.
4. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Kobbie Mainoo
A. His goals. B. His education.
C. His teammates. D. His performance.
5. What does the underlined word “sensational” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Boring. B. Dramatic. C. Suitable. D. Possible.
6. Which word can best describe Kobbie Mainoo
A. Ambitious. B. Humorous. C. Experienced. D. Shy.
7. What is the aim of Manchester United now
A To bring out more young stars.
B. To qualify for the next Premier League.
C. To play in the Champions League next season.
D. To finish in the top seven of the Premier League.
C
Retired Army Col. Farrell Patrick taught computer science at West Point during the 1970s and then at two private universities through the 1990s, so he isn’t surprised by the progress technology has made over the decades. But when the 91-year-old got his first virtual reality (VR) experience recently, he was amazed.
Sitting in a conference room at John Knox Village, Patrick sat up straight as his eyes and ears experienced what it would be like to be in a Navy fighter jet flying off the Florida coast. John Knox Village was one of 17 senior communities around the country that participated in a recently published Stanford University study.
During the study, the seniors were picked from seven-minute virtual experiences such as riding in a tank, watching stage performances, playing with dogs and cats or visiting places like Paris or Egypt. The participants wore headsets that gave them 360-degree views and sounds, making it seem like they had been all but dropped into the actual experience.
The study, working with the company Mynd Immersive, found that almost 80% of the seniors reported having a more positive attitude after their VR session and almost 60% said they felt less isolated socially. The enjoyment lessened somewhat for older respondents whose sight and hearing had deteriorated (恶化). Those who found VR less enjoyable were also more likely to dislike technology in general.
The company has worked on the biggest complaints the seniors in the study had about VR—the headsets were too heavy and the heat they generated made the seniors’ foreheads sweat. The new headsets weigh about six ounces (189 grams) instead of a pound (454 grams). Besides, they have a built-in fan for cooling, and the videos aren’t as jumpy.
Patrick says he hopes to live to 100 because he believes the next five years will see momentous changes in VR. Still a technology enthusiast, he believes the cost of systems will drop dramatically and become part of everyday living, even for seniors.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the topic. B. To reach a conclusion.
C. To present an argument. D. To make a definition.
9. Why does the author mention “Paris or Egypt” in paragraph 3
A. To illustrate the two cities’ support for VR.
B. To explain why seniors are crazy about traveling.
C. To compare the differences between the two cities.
D. To show the VR experiences the seniors can choose from.
10. What did the study find
A. Most seniors enjoyed VR. B. Old people preferred socializing.
C. Seniors’ sight and hearing became worse. D. Most retired people disliked high-tech products.
11. What do the figures in paragraph 5 indicate about Mynd Immersive
A. Its products hardly appeal to seniors. B. Its goal is to produce high-quality videos.
C. It has made improvements on the headsets. D. It has got a lot of complaints from teenagers.
D
For generations, Nafisa Bayniyazova and her family have made a living growing melons, pumpkins and tomatoes on farms around the Aral Sea. Bayniyazova, 50, has spent most of her life near Muynak, in northwestern Uzbekistan, tending the land. Farm life was sometimes difficult but generally reliable and productive.
Now, Bayniyazova and other residents say they’re facing a disaster they can’t beat: climate change, which is speeding up the decades-long disappearance of the Aral, once the lifeblood for the thousands living around it.
Decades ago, deep blue and filled with fish, the Aral was one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water. Thousands of migrants from across Asia and Europe moved to the Aral’s shores for jobs popping up everywhere from canning factories to luxury vacation resorts. Today, the few remaining towns sit quiet along the former seabed of the Aral—technically classified as a lake, due to its lack of a direct outlet to the ocean, though residents and officials call it a sea.
Much of its early disappearance is due to human engineering and agricultural projects gone wrong, now paired with climate change. Summers are hotter and longer; winters, shorter and bitterly cold.
Without the moderating influence of a large body of water to regulate the climate, dust storms began to blow through towns. Strong winds caused dunes (沙丘) to swallow entire towns, and abandoned buildings were filled with sand. A dozen fish species went extinct, and businesses closed down. “The fish factories closed, the ships were stuck in the harbor, and the workers all left,” said Madi Zhasekenov, former director of the Aral Sea Fisherman Museum in Aralsk, Kazakhstan. “It became only us locals.”
On her Uzbekistan farm, Bayniyazova’s family has dug an earthen well, hoping to hold on to the precious little water that’s left. “If there is no water, it will be very difficult for people to live,” Bayniyazova said. “Now people are barely surviving.” She doesn’t plan to leave her farm but yet knows more hardships are likely ahead.

47. 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。
A woman remarried a man from Mexico. She already had a 16-year-old daughter named Bethany, while her husband had a 14-year-old daughter named Maria. Maria and Bethany had been in each other’s lives since they were children. Their relationship as stepsisters was good until recently.
The entire family was busy planning Maria’s Quinceanera (成人礼). The woman’s husband and his ex-wife joined forces to get her a beautiful dress to celebrate the occasion. In total, the dress cost $3,000.
Bethany made it clear that she was jealous (嫉妒的) of the party. Her mom had to make her understand that in Mexican culture, a Quinceanera was a great deal, just like how she had a sweet sixteen party. However, Bethany kept comparing her party to that of Maria’s. It was a massive issue for her, and it reflected in the way she behaved around everyone at home.
Knowing how it made Bethany feel, the mom tried to spend more time with her daughter to assure her that she wasn’t being disregarded. They even got her a lovely dress for the Quinceanera, but much cheaper than Maria’s dress.
Two weeks before the big day, Maria and Bethany got into an argument regarding the TV. Bethany retaliated (报复) against her stepsister by tearing off the back part of her Quinceanera dress. After finding out what Bethany did, everyone was angry. The mom couldn’t believe what her daughter did and quickly gave her husband and his ex-wife money to get a new dress.
The mom told Bethany that she needed to get a job to pay back the total price of the dress. It was her punishment for such an unreasonable act against her stepsister. However, Bethany claimed her mom was unfair by choosing Maria over her. This made the mom question whether she was in the wrong for giving her daughter no choice but to find a job. She wrote about the story online, hoping to get opinions from others on whether what she did was wrong.
