For the 70 percent of the world's population without any chance of using electric washing machines, keeping up with laundry takes up a lot of time. And it is often a painful physical task. The task falls unreasonably to women and girls, who can spend 20 hours a week washing clothes, often without electricity or running water. London engineer Navjot Sawhney, however, has come up with an idea: a portable and lightweight washing machine that is similar to a plastic drum. It also does double duty as a dryer, and costs around $60.
31-year-old Sawhney calls it the Divya, after the woman who inspired the project—his former next-door neighbour in South India, where he spent a year volunteering after leaving his job as an engineer at high-end vacuum（真空吸尘器） maker Dyson. "When I got to know Divya, I was so sad about all the unpaid work she needed to do—cleaning clothes," says Sawhney. In 2018, he returned to the United Kingdom to found "The Washing Machine Project", which is developing a washing solution that will be affordable, portable and accessible for everyone, everywhere. After a few months of developing a model, he received some money from Oxfam's Iraq Response Innovation Lab.
Since March 2019, more than 150 Divyas have been given out to refugees（难民） in Iraq through non-profit partners. "The response was great," Sawhney says. His goal is to deliver 8,000 machines in 10 countries over the next three years. By saving 75 percent of the time and 50 percent of the water required to wash clothes, he says, women and girls will be freer to accept education.
Aside from the Divya, Sawhney has also worked on making fuel-efficient cookstoves, and plans to develop refrigerators, conditioners, and lighting. Sawhney sees the world's growing refugee crisis as a call for innovation: "There is a huge need for appliances that make life better for people."
24. What did Navjot Sawhney do to help the women in India
A. He provided them with free access to education.
B. He volunteered to wash clothes for them.
C. He worked out a solution by inventing a washing machine.
D. He called on people in his community to donate clothes.
25. What inspired Navjot Sawhney to found the project
A. His previous work in Dyson. B. His neighbour's experience.
C. The request of refugees in Iraq. D. The support of a science lab.
26. What can we infer about the project in Paragraph 3
A. It focuses on education. B. It is highly praised.
C. It has earned a lot of money. D. It has created many jobs.
27. Which of the following can best describe Navjot Sawhney
A. Helpful and serious. B. Selfless and honest.
C. Thoughtful and strict. D. Caring and creative.
C
Our brains have an "auto-correct" feature that we use when re-interpreting ambiguous（含混不清的） sounds, according to new research. The study sheds light on how the brain uses information gathered after the discovering of an initial sound to aid speech comprehension. The findings point to new ways we use information and context to aid in speech comprehension.
"What a person thinks they hear does not always match the actual signals that reach the ear," explains lead author Laura Gwilliams. "This is because the brain re-evaluates the interpretation of a speech sound at the moment each following speech sound is heard in order to update interpretations as necessary," Gwilliams says.
It's well known that the perception（解释） of a speech sound is determined by its surrounding context—in the form of words, sentences and other speech sounds. This plays out in everyday life—when we talk, the actual speech we produce is often ambiguous. For example, when a friend says she has a "dent（凹痕）" in her car, you may hear "tent". Although this kind of ambiguity happens regularly, we, as listeners, are hardly aware of it. "This is because the brain automatically resolves the ambiguity for us—it picks an interpretation and that's what we perceive to hear," explains Gwilliams. "The way the brain does this is by using the surrounding context to narrow down the possibilities of what the speaker may mean."
In the study, the researchers sought to understand how the brain uses this following information to adjust our perception of what we initially heard. To do this, they conducted a series of experiments in which the subjects listened to isolated syllables and similarly sounding words. Their results produced three primary findings: The brain's primary auditory cortex（听觉皮层） is sensitive to how ambiguous a speech sound is at just 50 milliseconds after the sound's appearance. The brain "replays" previous speech sounds while interpreting the following ones, suggesting re-evaluation as the rest of the word unfolds. The brain makes commitments to its "best guess" of how to interpret the signal after about half a second.
28. What is the study mainly about
A. How brains understand unclear words.
B. Why people make unclear sounds.
C. Why some people process information faster.
D. How brains tell apart useful information.
29. What does the author want to show by giving the example in Paragraph 3
A. People are more likely to mishear their friends.
B. It is normal for people to make unclear sounds.
C. People are likely to mistake a word for something familiar.
D. People can understand others even if they mishear a word.
30. What do we know about the unclear words in the experiments
A. They were noticed instantly.
B. They seemed to be useless.
C. They stopped us thinking further.
D. They led to misunderstanding.
31. What does the underlined part "the signal" in the last paragraph refer to
A. The similarly sounding word. B. The isolated syllable.
C. The following speech sound. D. The unclearly sounding word.
D
On Inaccessible Island, you hear the sound of the Inaccessible Island rails（秧鸡）everywhere. The small flightless birds move around, feeding on worms and berries. During a trip in 2011, it took days for Stervander, then a doctoral student, to spot one. "Even then, you see something little and dark, running for a second, and that's about it," he says. Catching one, though, proved easy. When scientists played a recording of the bird's call, a male and female ran into the net a few minutes later.
Inaccessible Island rails live only on Inaccessible Island. "No one knew the history," says Stervander, now a research fellow at the University of Oregon. He aimed to answer the question about these birds: How did they get to Inaccessible Island to begin with
The first scientist to describe the rail was Percy Lowe. He thought the bird was from Africa and had always been flightless. In his view, it had arrived at the island by walking over land bridges. But now the science of plate tectonics（板块构造论） suggests that's not the case. In a recent paper, Stervander and his colleagues give evidence for a different version.
After studying the genome（基因组） of the rails, scientists found the Inaccessible Island rail's closest relative—the crake in Uruguay. Both birds are related to the black rail in America. The finding suggests the ancestors of these birds could fly. That means Inaccessible Island rails flew to their present home, and like many birds living on islands with no predators （捕食者）, they gradually lost the ability to fly. Flying takes energy, so if there's no reason to fly, it's more practical not to.
On this island, there's a growing population of rails, but they're fragile. Should a predator reach the island, it could make quick work of the birds. People on nearby islands are careful to avoid introducing any predators to Inaccessible Island, and the risk is low, given how hard it is to get there. For now, the rails live peacefully in a place where few humans are eager to go.
32. What can we learn about the Inaccessible Island rails
A. They are hard to trap. B. They can be seen everywhere.
C. They move around quickly. D. They are not afraid of humans.
33. What caused the Inaccessible Island rails to become flightless
A. Their lack of energy. B. Their living environment.
C. Their way to search for food. D. Their connection with their ancestors.
34. Which best describes the present situation of the Inaccessible Island rails
A. Safe. B. Tough. C. Unexpected. D. Dangerous.
35. What's the best title for the text
A. The Development of Rails on Inaccessible Island
B. The Need to Protect Flightless Inaccessible Island Rails
C. How Did the Flightless Bird Get to Inaccessible Island
D. Why are Inaccessible Island Rails Limited on the Island
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分 10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。
We've all been there—staring at a pile of books, desperately hoping that what we study will stick in our mind. Many of us have probably asked if there's any way that we can get better at remembering things. 36
Every student who has made flashcards knows that it can be helpful to go back over what they've studied before. The Learning Scientists, a group of cognitive scientists, have made a new discovery. 37 They say that trying to retrieve（找回） something from your memory after you have had some time to forget it will make it easier to remember in future.
38 The Learning Scientists say this can help you build links between different ideas. Now, linking ideas and relating them to each other or to images are often suggested as good ways to memorise something. Former world memory champion Jonathan Hancock highlights how picturing pieces of information in different physical locations or linking them to memorable images makes them easier to remember. Linking new information to things that are easier to remember is a technique that many people use. 39
There are also more general things that we can do to improve our memory. Hancock says that being generally organised makes things easier for your brain, while many other experts also recommend avoiding stress, alcohol and smoking, and that we should get a lot of rest and exercise. 40
A. We don't know exactly why this happens.
B. It's important to the long-term memory.
C. So, why don't we look at what memory experts say about this
D. Another study tip is to change between different topics as you study.
E. It could be making letter patterns into words, or by sorting things into categories.
F. According to them, we can learn things better if we wait for some time before trying to study them again.
G. So, while it may be hard, improving our memory is something we can control.

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了桌山空中索道公司（TMACC）在2021年向当地游客免费发放了3万张生日的月门票，让每个游客都能从云层上面感受到开普敦的迷人景色。
61.allowing 考查非谓语动词。因为句中已经有谓语动词，句中又无必要的连接词语，所以此处需要用非谓语动词。allow有自己的宾语，逗号后若用不定式表示意想不到的结果，不合逻辑，因此此处需要用现在分词作状语。
62. excited 考查形容词，此处excited 用作形容词，作表语，意为“感到兴奋的”。
63. normally 考查副词。副词作状语，修饰谓语部分 be charged at R390。
64. to travel 考查非谓语动词。allow sb. to do sth.允许某人做某事。
65. and 考查连词。local 与international并列，共同作定语，修饰中心词tourists，因此用 and连接。
66. which 考查定语从句。此处需要用 which 引导非限制性定语从句， which 在从句中作主语，指代逗号前面整个句子的内容。
67. visits 考查名词。根据that 从句中的谓语动词extend可知，此处需要用复数名词作主语。
68. to 考查介词。belong to意为“属于”。
69. be given 考查时态和语态。should 后面接动词原形。be given an opportunity意为“被给予机会”。
70. recovery 考查名词。根据空前的定冠词the可知，此处需要用名词作 aid 的宾语。

Through the three months' study, not only did I to know the cultural differences, but also learned how to cooperate（合作） with others.

书面表达
One possible version:
Dear Bob.
I am glad to hear the news of the upcoming addition of Special English. This not only increases the opportunities for our students to practise English listening, but also enriches our campus cultural atmosphere.
Given the limited time, I think the content should not only be novel but also short, including campus news, student interviews, English knowledge and other forms. At the same time, we should constantly listen to the opinions of our schoolmates and stimulate their enthusiasm for learning English.
I believe that under your guidance, this programme will become better and better.
Yours,
Li Hua

M: Many years ago, I taught a student named Tom who was from a very poor family. He was very smart and never late with his homework. Every day at lunch I would see him go to the library instead of eating with everyone else. When I asked him about it, he said that he would rather study than eat. At first, I thought this was very good, but then I found out that he only did this because he could not afford to pay for lunch. I did not want to upset him by telling him what I learned, so I brought extra food with me every day and told him that my wife always packed me too much lunch because she was a chef at a restaurant and got food very cheap. He took the extra food, and ate lunch with me even though he seemed embarrassed. Years later, I received a letter from Tom and it was full of thanks. He became a doctor and now travels to poor hospitals around the world to help those in need.
