nonprofit devoted to treating and preventing child abuse and family violence.Gandhi soon grew passionate about the
cause and began fundraising for the organization in combination with his races.
"I grew up in a similar environment in the Los Angeles area and experienced things such as abuse,being
around domestic violence,and seeing the damage of generational pain,"he says,"I saw how passionate their
volunteers are and I just see myself in those kids."
The athlete uses his social media platform to ask for donations,and at each race,he attaches the
Richstone logo to the back of his shirt to spread people's awareness on the trails."To me,as long as that
money and that awareness is going toward goodwill,good stuff is going to happen in the world,"he says.
For the next year,Gandhi has his eyes set on the Triple Crown of 200 Miles.He'll have to complete all 654 miles
of the series in a calendar year,and he plans to continue upping his fundraising goals-even ifthat means being overly
ambitious."Ive always had the mindset of failing big instead of winning small,"he says.

Birds do it.Bees do it.People do it,though often less than they would like to.Owls do it in the daytime.Sleep is
an ancient,universal experience.
But partly because it is the order ofthe day,for a long time sleep was a subject that scientists had not woken upto.
It is only in the past half-century or so that it has attracted the attention of dedicated researchers.A new book from
Kenneth Miller,a science joumalist,sets out to record the field's short but fascinating history.
Its contents range from the discovery of rapid-eye-movement(REM)sleep and circadian rhythms
)-the biological clocks that govern humanity's days-to the effects of sleep deprivation (which can be
deadly,at least in lab animals).It also explores the purpose,ifany,of dreams.
Sleep is a state of lowered consciousness and reduced metabolism()which takes up about one
third of a person's life.Two distinct types of sleep have been recognized:REM(rapid eye movement)and
NREM(non-rapid eye movement).The latter,which accounts for the major part of sleep,starts with
drowsiness ();brain waves become increasingly deeper and sower ntil brain activity and metabolism
fall to their lowest level.In REM sp,the brain suddenly becomes more erically active,its blood flow
increases,the eyes move rapidly and dreaming occurs.
Discoveries often lead to new questions in turn.That is why neat,tidy endings are hard to achieve in
most sc books;thiseisnodifferent.Despite ll the progress of the past 50 years,scientistsare still
unsure what sleepisfor.The fact that it isso widespread suggests it is vital.
But why evolution would see fit to produce animals that must spend large amounts of their time
unconsious and unable to respond to threats is still a mystery researchers are trying to soveFor anyone
curious about asking the right questions,however,Mr Miller's book is a good place to start.

【书面表达】在促进学生德智体美劳全面发展的情况下，我们也很需要关注学生的体育教育。本篇书面表达是关于李华要邀请国际班好友Tom一起参加学校开展主题为“快乐远足”活动。
Possible Version
Dear Tom,
Hope my email finds you well. An upcoming event called “ Happy Hiking” is scheduled to be held by the Sunshine Club of our school , and I think you may be willing to join us.
The event will be held on April 24th and students attached to hiking are welcome to participate. We’ll gather at the school gate at 9 a.m., with the activity starting at 9:10 a.m. The route will finish at Green Farm, covering a total distance of approximately 10 kilometers. If it appeals to you, please remember to dress appropriately and wear your suitable shoes. It will be good to bring some necessary snacks in case you become hungry during the hike.
Let me know if you can make it and it would be great to have you with us. Looking forward to your early reply.
【读后续写】读后续写讲述的是四个人在海上的漂流和奋力求生。续写第一段主要让学生发挥想象：漆黑的夜晚在大海上的孤舟可能会碰到的事情，内容要和第二段首句衔接。第二段是四人最终获救，皆大欢喜的结局。主要表达的是在逆境中永不放弃的执着精神。
Suddenly, there was a long, loud swishing sound behind the boat and a shining trail of silvery blue. It might have been made by a huge knife. Then there was another swish and another long flash of bluish light, this time alongside the boat. Crane saw a huge fin speed like a shadow through the water, leaving a long glowing trail. The thing kept swimming near the boat. He noted its speed and power. Crane woke up the men. They knew that only they could keep the boat from sinking. And so they rowed, hour after hour, tirelessly, through the night.
When day came, the four men saw land again. They began to turn the boat toward the beach. As the boat came closer to land, the waves got bigger and more violent. At last, a large wave climbed into the air and fell on the small boat with great force.The boat turned over as the men jumped into the sea. The water was like ice. Fortunately, the life-saving people rescued them in time. People welcomed the men from the sea to the land.
【阅读理解A篇】
21. A 【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【解题思路】根据题目中的关键信息 a street carnival 可查找到“St Patrick's Day, Ireland”部分的“Wrap up the party on St Patrick's Day with a massive street carnival on 17th March.”。由此可知，人们在爱尔兰可以参加街头狂欢节。故选A.
22.D 【命题意图】考查推理判断。
【解题思路】根据文中每个节日的时间可以看出，Cape Town Jazz Festival 是这四个节日中持续时间最长的（10天），其余的分别是：Pasifika Festival（2天），SXSW Festival（9天）, St Patrick's Day（4天）。故选D.
23.B 【命题意图】考查推理判断。
【解题思路】根据文中每个节日的活动内容可以看出，这四个节日都提到了music,也就是说在每个节日期间，人们都可以欣赏到美妙的音乐。故选B.
【阅读理解B篇】
24.C 【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【解题思路】根据文章第一段中的“But five years ago, once he picked up running by accident, he immediately developed a thirst for taking on greater challenges. ”可知，Gandhi在五年前偶然开始跑步时就立即渴望接受更大的挑战。随后又从5公里跑到半程马拉松，再到全程马拉松和100英里比赛。这些表明了他对跑步充满激情。
25. B 【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【解题思路】根据文章第四段中的“The athlete uses his social media platform to ask for donations,and at each race, he attaches the Richstone logo to the back of his shirt to spread people's awareness on the trails. ”以及that money and that awareness is going toward goodwill可知，Gandhi在社交媒体上筹款，并且在每场比赛中都把Richstone的标志贴在衣服后面以在赛道上宣传。这些行为都是Gandhi传播善意并筹款以支持慈善事业的方式。故Gandhi通过传播善意来帮助筹款。
26.B 【命题意图】考查推理判断。
【解题思路】根据文章第二段中的“Gandhi soon grew passionate about the cause and began fundraising for the organization in combination with his races. ”以及第四段的内容可知，Gandhi是一名有奉献精神的志愿者，他对慈善事业充满热情，并通过参加比赛的方式为慈善组织筹款；根据文章最后一段中的“…he plans to continue upping his fundraising goals—even if that means being overly ambitious.”可知，Gandhi对下一步的筹款目标雄心勃勃。综上可知，Gandhi对自己的志愿者工作尽心尽力，十分投入。故committed(投入的）这个词可以最好地描述作为志愿者的Gandhi.
27. D【命题意图】考查主旨大意。
Aum Gandhi在开始跑步后，他的生活发生了显著的转变。文章按照“开始跑步→热爱跑步→意识提升”来刻画他通过跑步完成目标转变的历程——通过跑步实现个人成长。D项“山径越野跑：通往转变之路”最能恰当地概括本文，适合作为本文标题。它突出了跑步（特别是山径越野跑）作为一种转变手段（指超越“身体健康”这个范畴）的作用，涵盖了个人发展、有目的的行动和积极的社会影响。
【阅读理解C篇】
28.A 细节理解题。第二段第一句提到，很长一段时间里，科学家们并未对睡眠这个课题产生兴趣，部分原因在于睡眠是司空见惯的事。“commonplace”是“the order of the day”的同义表达，故答案为A。受最后一段倒数第二句影响，本题易误选D项，该项符合原文，但并未作为科学家没有研究睡眠的原因被提及。
29.C 细节理解题。第四段第一句提到，睡眠是一种意识低下和新陈代谢减慢的状态，它大约占据人一生的三分之一。换句话说，本文表明，人每天的睡眠时间应在八小时左右，故答案为C.
30.D 推理判断题。第五段第二句提到，大多数科普书籍很难有简便易行、有条理的结尾，这本书也不例外，由此可知，米勒的书在结尾方面同样存在这个局限；最后一段最后一句提到，对于任何想提出正确问题的人来说，米勒的书是个很好的起点，由此可知，该书是富有教益的，故答案为D.本题易误选A项，该书的好评来自本文作者，然而，作者是无法代表评论家们这个群体的。
31.B 推理判断题。本文对米勒的新书作了介绍，该书记录了睡眠领域短暂但迷人的历史。既然是新书介绍，那就应该与“文化”相关，故答案为B.
【阅读理解D篇】
32.A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第四句可知，数字领域可能会带来比历史上任何时候都多的阅读，即数字阅读让人们开始广泛阅读，选项C意为“数字化阅读帮助年轻人利用了网络”，属于无中生有应排除，故答案为 A。
33.B 情感态度题。根据文章第二段第、三句可知，加州大学洛杉矶分校的玛丽安·沃尔夫说，在网上，我们“略读浏览、滚动(屏幕)”，媒介就是信息:在手机上进行深度阅读就像用手机打网球一样困难，即她对于数字化阅读持反对态度，她并不看好数字化阅读。C选项表示“客观的”，通常会出现在呈现正反两方面内容的文章中，应排除故答案为 B。
34.D推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句可知，在2021年国际学生评估项目的调查中，只有49%的学生表示“只会在必要时才进行阅读”，比2000年高了13个百分点，即学生们阅读纸质书籍的趋势逐年下滑，而选项A提到学生们应该改变他们的批判性和有意识阅读，改变的方向可以是向好的方向发展，也可以是向坏的方向发展，该选项扩大了范围，应排除，故答案为 D。
35.A 词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句可知，越来越多的人在教育上花费的时间更长，图书销售也保持强劲，即图书的销售呈现上升的趋势，与人们在教育上的花费时长形成并列关系，而C选项只是说越来越多的人喜欢去书店，但去书店不一定是购买书籍，该选项为断章取义，应排除，故答案为 A。
【七选五】该语篇围绕孤雌生殖展开，是一篇人与自然为主题的文章。常见的繁殖是要由卵细胞和精细胞的结合，文章让我们了解了孤雌生殖的相关知识。目前，这种方式还不适应于哺乳动物。
B 根据文章开头说，通常繁殖需要雄性和雌性的结合，however 后面的句子表示转折的含义，文中提到的一只雌性鲨鱼生出了一只鲨鱼宝宝，可见，36空需要包含没有雄性的参与的信息，故B符合。
D 第二段的开头就说明了孤雌生殖需要精细胞和卵细胞，接下来的空就可以介绍精细胞和卵细胞的作用。故选D。
E该段介绍了孤雌繁殖的过程。在这个过程中，母体的基因会被稍稍打乱吮吸，所以会出现similar to the mother but not a cloned version of the mother的现象。故E 符合。
F 该空为段首句，后面的内容主要围绕两个孤雌生殖的例子，说明它并不是那么稀少罕见的。故选F。
G 空白处的前面提到了lower animals中可能会出现孤雌生殖，但后面提到目前对于哺乳动物来说还是不可能的。因此空白处需要提到但哺乳动物中不能进行的相关内容。故选G。
完形填空：本文从24节气引出了中国南方一气候现象——回南天。
48. 题选approach (movement nearer to sb/sth in distance or time: the approach of spring), 春天的到来
52. 题选cycle （the fact of a series of events being repeated many times, always in the same order: the cycle of the seasons）, 考查名词辨析，尊重自然循环
两题均考查熟词生义。
【语法填空】解析：本文介绍了一项新兴运动：匹克球，讲述了它的比赛形式、受欢迎度及它未来可能的趋势。
with 本题考察句型“It's got nothing to do with sth.”表示“这与......无关。”
combination 本题考察词性转化，根据“as a ... of”结构应填名词，即动词转化为名词。
that/which/不填 本题考察定语从句，先行词为a small plastic ball，指物，在从句中作bat的宾语，即填that/which。
picking 本题考察并列谓语，此句中由and 连接are listening 和picking 两谓语。
currently本题考察词性转化，用副词修饰整个句子。
aims 本题考察长难句分析，aim作谓语，根据句意用一般现在时表将来。
or 本题考察选择连词，根据后文singles or doubles的提示可知。
be batted 本题考察情态动词的被动语态。
the 本题考察固定搭配“on the first...”意为“在最开始的......”
65. To win本题考察不定式作目的状语。

M: Do you spend more time with family now
W: Yes, particularly my sisters. We used to go to the cinema every week. That isn’t always possible now, so we have film nights at my house instead. There’s an outdoor pool in town and you can swim and watch films there — we’re going to try that soon.
M: Do you have any time-saving advice
W: There are things people do like checking emails or messages on the bus to work or school and making a list of things to do the next day. (16) But the thing that works well for me is having lots of clothes which are the same, so you don’t have to think about what to put on in the morning!
