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
I played on the high school basketball team. I played the ball before the game started, and then sat on the bench (长凳) cheering for guys who were actually going to play in the game. When we won, I hugged (拥抱) my teammates.
I enjoyed that. But I didn’t know how my dad felt about my role. I imagined it was hard for him. Dad was a gifted athlete. And my older brothers were sports stars at college. I was not sure how he felt about going to games to watch his son SIT. Still, Dad was always there in his suit and tie. After the game, he’d come up to me, smile, shake my hand and say “Good game!”, even though I did nothing to make the game good. It changed until the last game of the season.
It was a great day for our team — we were up by about 20 with two minutes left. The coach suddenly looked towards me and said, “Walker! You’re in!” The next two minutes seemed not real to me. I remember running up and down the field a few times. When someone started counting down the last seconds, my teammate passed the ball to me. I heard guys on the bench shouting “Shoot (投篮)!” as I faced the basket and shot. We won. But then I didn’t know what to do. I was unprepared for a time when I had hit a last second shot. Naturally, I looked for Dad. He was there, smiling at me as he always did.
Whether good times or bad, Dad was always there to smile, to support and to love. Now I’m in my 50s with a teenage basketball player in my family. I keep trying to be there, no matter what, because I know what it can mean.
21. What was the author’s role
A. He was a green hand.
B. He gave players suggestions.
C. He was a fan of the basketball team.
D. He replaced those who couldn’t play.

A. Lost. B. Tired. C. Calm. D. Encouraged.
23. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Sports-Loving Family
B. A Successful Basketball Match
C. Dad Always Being There
D. Dad Helping Me Succeed

I went to South Africa for the first time as a lone travelling female with a love for wildlife when I just graduated from high school.
During my six-month stay there, I spent the last 4 weeks at GVI Karongwe. The GVI members were so helpful and were so kind and lovely too when I was there. It was one of the easiest and best-organised programs I spent my time on.
Every day we collected information on a variety of animals for research. I have to say it changed my life in so many ways and actually guided me on my path to the job I am doing now.
The first week was pretty busy with training to prepare us for our job in the bush (灌木) and teach us about mammals (哺乳动物), birds and other animals, tracks and signs as well as how to use the equipment (设备), take care of the cars and clean and cook for a house of more than 20 people. The training made a world of difference to anyone who was nervous about being new to the South African wilderness and wanted to do the job well. I also made friends with people from all over the world and they were of all ages and backgrounds, united by the common goal to contribute to wildlife protection in South Africa, which was so amazing!
GVI programs provide a fantastic way to learn and contribute to the community and wildlife in a hands-on way. It has put me on the path of wildlife research for the rest of my life!
24. Why did the author go to South Africa at first
A. To do a voluntary job there.
B. To visit the wild animals there.
C. To join in the GVI program there.
D. To carry out research there.
25. What did the author think of the training provided at the first week
A. It was necessary and important.
B. It was relaxing and creative.
C. It was difficult.
D. It was too long.
26. What can we learn about the GVI program in South Africa
A. It offers free training and accommodation.
B. It helped the author choose her career.
C. Its members all have rich knowledge of wildlife.
D. Its purpose is to encourage visits to South Africa.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To give a positive review of the GVI program.
B. To tell us the importance of animal protection.
C. To tell us what she learned in South Africa.
D. To share her experiences in South Africa.

Professor Paul Hughes says the way we talk to ourselves and about ourselves to other people can affect our life in many ways, from our career to our family life. He saw this firsthand while teaching at a community college.
He noticed that some students who studied hard and came to class every day still did poorly in exams. They are filled with angst about taking a test. Hughes used one of his students as an example. Lindsay was a good student. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all of her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hughes asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She wondered why she had trouble remembering what she had learned. She said she did not trust that she knew the right answers.
Hughes took Lindsay’s negative statements and turned them into positive questions. Before a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why am I so relaxed when I take an exam Why am I so focused during my exam Why do I remember everything I study for an exam Why do I trust my answers
Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam and scored 15 points higher than she had in an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she got a “B” in the final exam.
After Lindsay left the community college and went to a four-year university, she continued to use the method of positive self-talk. She got straight A’s in all of her exams. Hughes saw student after student succeed with his method. They got more than just good test scores. They got their self-confidence back.
Hughes does not just help his students. He also uses his positive self-talk method to help his friends and neighbors. In a television interview, he summed it up this way, “We can program ourselves for failure in class or in life, but we can also program ourselves for success.”
28. What does the underlined word “angst” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Tiredness. B. Concern. C. Dislike. D. Dissatisfaction.
29. What did Hughes advise Lindsay to do before exams
A. Review her lessons carefully.
B. Join in more group discussions.
C. Encourage herself by thinking positively.
D. Write her thoughts down to remove stress.
30. What can we learn about Hughes’ self-talk method
A. It helps students get smarter during the exam.
B. It can’t lead to success until used for a long period.
C. It is designed for students who do poorly in school.
D. It can help increase students’ scores and confidence.
31. Which of the following best describes Hughes’ idea
A. Thoughts influence actions.
B. Sometimes hard work doesn’t work.
C. It’s easy to improve self-confidence.
D. All things are hard before they are easy.
D
In July 2021, kids from around the world watched the first appearance of skateboarding at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. The four medal events for men and women in park and street boarding showed the gifts of 80 athletes from all over the world.
Bryce Wettstein is one of the top competitors from the United States in park skateboarding, which requires athletes to show skills that combine (使结合) art and athleticism in a bowl that looks like an empty swimming pool. At 17, Bryce shows her skills in a way that celebrates the skateboarding community.
Skateboarding began in the late 1940s and early 1950s in small Southern California beach towns. Born into this community, Bryce has won a place at the center of the sport. “Skateboarding just seems like it can be everything and anything all washed together in some washing machine of color,” she said.
Bryce shares her California hometown with international skateboard pioneer Tony Hawk. He was chosen by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as an ambassador (大使) in its “Stronger Together” competitive sport, which celebrates this year’s athletes. In an IOC video, Hawk summarized the unlikely rise of skateboarding. “We used to see ourselves as a family of misfits (不合群),” he said. “But now the world calls us Olympians.”
Skateboarders celebrate each other’s natural abilities and achievements, while working to help the sport develop. This is shown in the friendship between Bryce and top Australian competitor Poppy Starr Olsen. Both athletes have dreamed of acting for their own countries at the Olympic Games since they skateboarded together as kids.
“I think skateboarding is going to be really different from all the other sports,” Poppy said. “We’re all kind of like a family.”
Bryce agreed. “That’s what makes skateboarding such a great sport,” she said.
32. Which of the following best describes Bryce Wettstein
A. A skateboarder who likes everything colourful.
B. An excellent skateboarder easy to get on with.
C. An excellent skateboarder from the birthplace of skateboarding.
D. A skateboarder having a special understanding of skateboarding.
33. Why was Tony Hawk chosen as an ambassador in the competitive sport
A. He does much to celebrate the athletes.
B. He made skateboarding rise in the world.
C. He is a skateboard pioneer all over the world.
D. He made an important speech in an IOC video.
34. What do Bryce and Poppy most probably think of skateboarding
A. It gets family members together.
B. It is the dream of many children.
C. It is a means to celebrate success.
D. It can bring people close together.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Top athletes at the Olympics.
B. A new Olympic sports event.
C. Some skateboarders’ success.
D. Opinions on an Olympic sports event.
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A heart-to-heart talk refers to an honest conversation between two people. When sharing a heart-to-heart talk, people will generally share innermost (内心最深处的) thoughts and feelings. This talk usually takes place without other people being present. ___36 Some people also refer to this type of conversation as a heartfelt talk, or speaking from the heart. Here are tips on having a heart-to-heart talk.
Share personal stories. 37 When you share a personal story with someone, you put yourself out there in a brave way. Hopefully, the person will follow suit and be receptive to your sharing. Make sure that your disclosure (披露) is proper for the level of relationship you have with the other person. And remember not to push yourself too hard. 38
Listen to understand. Being an active listener is important during a heartto-heart talk. When you actively listen to what another person is saying, he is more likely to open up. 39___ Instead, try to listen to really understand what the other is trying to communicate.
___40 When you’re trying to get someone to open up and go deeper in conversation with you, you are expected to avoid questions that close off the discussion. For example, you might immediately start trying to learn the person’s likes and dislikes by asking “What’s your favorite color/food/season ” The problem with such a question is that it doesn’t promote (促进) a more detailed answer because it can be answered with only one word (e.g. “Purple. Pizza. Summer.”).
A. Raise questions actively.
B. Avoid close-ended questions.
C. Many times, you may listen to prepare an answer.
D. So it’s considered that the talk will be kept secret.
E. You should share what you feel comfortable sharing.
F. Self-disclosure opens the door to a deep conversation.
G. People find comfort in expressing unhappiness with others.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
About ten years ago, my wife and I took a trip to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. I didn’t like to carry all my keys in my pocket during a hike, so I took away the key to the car and left the rest in the car. When we came back, I put the key somewhere in the car without reattaching it to the key ring. Then we made a fire, cooked some food, and went to sleep in the back of the SUV.
The next morning, we were cleaning up our campsite when I saw a bird inside my car. I walked over, and it flew away. When we got in the car to go home, I couldn’t find the key. We searched and searched even emptying out the car completely, but it was gone.
Then it hit me that the bird must have taken it. After all, those birds are known for stealing shiny (闪亮的) things and decorating their nests (巢) with them. Keys are shiny. The bird was the thief ! It made perfect sense to me. So I decided to find its nest.
But there is a problem: As everyone knows, the Grand Canyon is a little large in area, so I didn’t like my chances of actually finding a certain nest belonging to a certain bird in a certain tree in all that space. But what other choice did I have
My wife was not encouraging me. She said, “Are you crazy You’ll never find it! The Grand Canyon is the biggest hole on Earth!” I didn’t answer and walked steadily forward until her laughter died away.
I tried to keep hope as I searched dozens of trees and tracked every singing bird. It was like searching a needle in the sea. But, oh, how great my victory would be when I held the missing key from the bird’s nest.

Dear schoolmates,
The earth is the only home for us human beings. However, it’s now facing a severe problem — environmental pollution. Therefore, It’s our duty to protect it.
First of all, we must reduce environmental pollution, or the earth will be unfit for human beings to live on. Secondly, we must save water, electricity and other resources. In addition, protecting creatures is an effective way of protecting the earth as well.
With the World Earth Day approaching, let’s act now and make our earth a better home.

2. 续写部分分为两段：第一段可以写作者在大峡谷没有找到钥匙，返回到露营地后偶遇了另外一个家庭，并向他们求助；第二段可以写作者和妻子回家途中，在服务中心偶然找到了丢失的钥匙。
3. 文章讲述过去的事，通篇使用一般过去时。
One possible version:
After two hours of searching, I finally gave up and returned to the car. Then I found my wife relaxing in a chair, drinking a cup of coffee. She was really smart. The next challenge was to get a new key. Luckily, another family came through the campsite, so I asked them to send out a locksmith. They promised they would. Five hours later, the locksmith showed up and he charged me twice the normal amount for making a new key.
The next day, we stopped at a service center for lunch. I pulled out the cup holder and the missing key was sitting right there. Imagine my embarrassment. It was the only place we didn’t look. And guess who put it there My wife! We actually both made mistakes because I had pushed the cup holder back without noticing the key. I got out of the car, looked up at the sky and said, “Bird, I was wrong about you. I’m sorry.”

W: Hundreds of huge wildfires have broken out all across the Arctic Circle. Areas in the Arctic are warming twice as fast as anywhere else on the planet. There are so many fires and they are so big that the smoke from them can be seen from space. Meteorologists report that the Arctic is having its hottest June ever and is suffering its worst wildfire season on record. There are huge blazes covering large areas of Greenland, Siberia, Scandinavia and Alaska. In Alaska, there are as many as 400 fires burning out of control. In Greenland, melting on the vast Greenland ice sheet has started a month earlier than usual. The World Meteorological Organization has said the Arctic fires are "unprecedented".
Scientists say the fires and suffocating smoke could have an effect on global warming. Meteorologist Mark Parrington explained what caused the wildfires. He said, ''Temperatures in the Arctic have been increasing at a much faster rate than the global average, and warmer conditions encourage fires to grow and persist once they have been started." Dry ground,more lightning strikes and strong winds have caused the fires to spread very quickly.A lot of ice has melted and the flames have set fire to methane—filled earth below the ice. This is releasing huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.The fires have also caused serious habitat loss and have killed uncountable numbers of animals.
