At the age of 17 years 64 days, Mack Rutherford has become the youngest person to fly around the world alone! Mack’s journey around the world lasted five months and he flew across 52 countries in total. His record-breaking flight began in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 23 March, 2022. He was 16 years old when he took off and celebrated his 17th birthday by himself in his plane.
Mack faced many challenges during his adventure. Because of his small-sized aircraft, he had to land whenever the weather got too rough. However, at some points he literally couldn’t land, such as when flying non-stop for 10 hours over an ocean. At other points, he faced extremely hot weather, such as in Dubai. In Sudan, a country in Africa, Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going. Mack battled strong winds and pouring rain during his flight, but he never stopped smiling, joking and updating his flowers on his social media account along the way, and managed to expertly pilot his plane to safety.
And if Mack’s surname “Rutherford” sounds familiar, it’s because his elder sister Zara also flew around the world earlier this year, and still holds the female version of the record! The Rutherford siblings were inspired by their parents to become pilots. “I have known for certain I wanted to fly since I was eleven,” Mack said, “My dad Sam is a professional ferry pilot, my mum Beatrice is a recreational private pilot.”
Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals, “No matter what background you have, I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and you shouldn’t limit yourself by others’ expectations.” With both feet firmly back on the ground now, it’s time for Mack to turn his attention towards catching up on his schoolwork!
56. What can we know about Mack’s flight
A. It began when he was 17 years 64 days old.
B. It made him the youngest person to fly alone.
C. It was a successful record-breaking attempt.
D. It took off in the capital of his home country.
57. What challenges did Mack face
A. Limitation of flight hours. B. Darkness and safety issues.
C. Loneliness of flying alone. D. Bad weather and long distance.
58. Why did Mack and his sister want to be pilots
A. Because they were inspired by their parents.
B. Because they were encouraging each other to dream big.
C. Because they wanted to set examples for their siblings.
D. Because they would live up to their parents’ expectations.
59. What does Mack hope to do with his attempt
A. To encourage young people to become pilots.
B. To inspire young people to fight for their dreams.
C. To warn young people of the dangers of flying.
D. To free young people of worries about school work.
60. What does Mack will do next

D. He will focus on his schoolwork.

Animals might not be able to speak or master advanced language techniques, but they certainly have other ways of communicating. Whale song, wolf howls, frog cries - even the fast dance of the honeybee or the friendly waves of a dog’s tail— are among so many ways animals pass on information to each other and to other living things of the animal kingdom.
When it comes to hearing communication, not every member of a species is just alike. Animals in different places have often been sounding off in different dialects. For example, one study shows that blue whales produce different types of sounds depending on where they are from. Some bird species are the same way. And what about those birds that live on the border between territories (领地) of different songbirds They are often able to communicate in a way accepted by each of their groups of neighbors.
Communication between different species can play important roles as well. One study shows that iguanas (鬣蜥蜴) do not communicate by making sound, but their well-developed ears help them hear well the warning calls of the flycatcher (a type of small bird). The two species have nothing in common except for the fact that they share a general habitat and enemies. So when an iguana hears a bird make a signal of danger for other birds, it probably knows to be watchful for arriving enemies, too.
However, as noise pollution has become a serious problem all across the globe, many animals are now under fire. Increased shipping traffic over the last century has greatly affected the spread of whale song around the ocean basin. Studies have found that songbirds, too, suffer from noisy city surroundings. Some species have had to change their singing styles, producing songs that sound louder, in order to be heard above the noise. Their new voices usually lead to stranger and somewhat worse styles of singing that female birds find decidedly less sexy.
61. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2
A. Various dialects can also happen to the same animals.
B. Animals communicate with each other in different ways.
C. Whales from different regions must produce different sounds.
D. Songbirds use different dialects to defend their territories.
62. What can we learn about iguanas
A. They communicate by singing. B. They are born with poor hearing.
C. They often bring bad luck to humans. D. They get along well with flycatchers.
63. By saying “many animals are now under fire”, the author means ______.
A. they refuse to communicate with others
B. they cannot communicate effectively
C. they are now in danger of extinction
D. they don’t make a sound any more
64. Due to noise pollution, songbirds ______.
A. find it hard to attract the opposite sex B. produce more songs that sound sad
C. begin to communicate by dancing D. cannot find food easily any more
65. The author develops the passage mainly ______.
A. by raising questions B. by following time order
C. by providing examples D. by analyzing the data
D
If you seek happiness, then you need to know what happiness is for you. I don’t believe there is one universal definition of happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emotion, according to me. Put two people in identical situation: same amount of money, life experiences, etc. and you can be pretty sure that they both wouldn’t feel equally happy or equally sad. I believe this is so because there are two kinds of happiness. There is one kind of happiness, which is kind of universal and then there is the other kind, which is very individual to each one of us. It is this kind of happiness that I find more interesting.
The second kind of happiness that I talk about comes from our expectations out of our lives, which vary from person to person. For example, a person who expects a lot out of his or her life may find that happiness is hard to find. They are constantly in search of these things in life, which always seem to elude (逃避) them. Those things may be money or fame or power or any of the other pursuits that humans have, but it would be likely that such people are less likely to be happy, if their goals are not met. In most cases even after their goals are met, they don’t find happiness, because they seek more-new goals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending process for them!
On the other hand, a person who takes life as it comes along and makes the best of each day is more likely to be happy every day. They have no pressure or goals to occupy their minds and they can achieve happiness from the simple pleasures of everyday life, finding love, making time for the family and kids, seeing their kids grow, etc. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any expectations at all. You should keep those expectations reasonable and manageable.
66. Which of the following is the author’s opinion according to Paragraph 1
A. Happiness has one universal definition.
B. Every individual has his own happiness.
C. There are no people who are really happy.
D. Happiness means having money and power.
67. What does the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to
A. Daily demands. B. Life experiences.
C. Ideas about happiness. D. Expectations out of life.
68. Even if their goals are met, some people still don’t feel happy because ______.
A. they gave too much for their goals
B. they don’t know what happiness is
C. they have new goals that need achieving
D. they think sadness is a never-ending process
69. What kind of person is likely to be happy in the author’s opinion
A. He who has few expectations. B. He who has no pressure or goals.
C. He who has a great ambition or dream. D. He who can find fun from his daily life.
70. The author writes this passage mainly to tell readers _______.
A. the definition of happiness B. the importance of happiness
C. to enjoy every day to the fullest D. to give up their dreams and be practical

第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself. I did not care about helping others, but only about my look, clothes, money and grades.
One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then. I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had.
I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered. I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients, talked to them while sharing snacks, and played games like chess and checkers with them. Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help.
By volunteering at the nursing home, I changed a lot. I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well. I had learned many life lessons through volunteering. By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it enhance my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it.
Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society. So if you ever have the chance, volunteer! It’s something you won’t regret!
71. What kind of person was the author before volunteering (no more than 5 words)
72. Why did the author want to volunteer one day (no more than 10 words)
73. What did the author do when the elderly patients had difficulty in communicating with the workers (no more than 10 words)
74. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 4 (one word)
75. What do you think of volunteering after reading the text Please explain. (no more than 25words)
