As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. "I just decided I wanted to go," she says. "I had no idea about what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way."
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she'd never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. "From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has," Ginni says. "I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater."
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
11.Which of the following best explains "take the plunge" underlined in paragraph 2
A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree.
C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise.
12.What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica
A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery.
C. A discount fare. D. A friend's invitation.
13.What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey
A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible.
C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.
14.What is the text mainly about
A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience.
C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.
四、七选五
Plants are intelligent. It sounds like a fable. However, science is beginning to think so. In 2013, The New Yorker published an article that set the plant science world on fire, forever changing the way both the public and researchers looking at and studying the plant kingdom. The "Intelligent Plant" was previously unheard of. ①_____ But fast forward to 2022, there are now dozens of research papers and hours of video prepared and published by plant biologists discussing so many facts of plant intelligence. ②_____
Communication; A lot of evidence suggests that plants, trees in particular, can communicate with one another. ③_____ It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. The idea of plants forming such a relationship to interact is considered as an evolutionary outcome.
Learning: ④_____ What if plants can learn from experiences like the dogs The scientists designed experiments, whose goal was to prove whether plants could learn, an idea that seemed impossible. Ultimately, they succeeded in not only their experiments, but also in proving that plants can actually learn.
Memory: As research and experiments continue into the plant memory, people can't help but ask the question "how can something without a brain have memories " Studies have determined that plants can indeed learn and create memories. ⑤_____

A.Can plants be taught
B.The plant biology community launched a campaign.
C.This communication occurs through underground networks.
D.It makes no sense to research plant communication methods.
E. They can display their memory recall through learned response.

答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案：to get
解析：句意为：在我们去那座房子的路上，雨下得很大，我们不禁想知道要花多长时间才能到那里。"it takes+一段时间+to do sth"为固定句型，意为"做某事需要多长时间"，it作形式主语，不定式短语为真正的主语。故填to get。
2.答案：reflecting
解析：句意为： 城市是人类的双手和思想的产物， 反映了人类的智慧和创造力。分析句子结构可知，句中已有系动词 is, 设空处前无连词连接， 因此， 设空处应用非谓语形式； reflect 与主语 A city 之间是逻辑上的主动关系， 所以应用现在分词。故填 reflecting。
3.答案：resulting
解析：考查现在分词作结果状语。句意：从2000年至2019年，全球共发生7,348起重大自然灾害，造成经济损失29,700亿美元。本句已有谓语动词were，设空处应用非谓语动词形式。7,348 major natural disasters与result之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。
4.答案：thinking
解析：考查现在分词作原因状语。句意：得知许多海洋动物以为塑料垃圾是食物而吃它时，我很难过。分析句子结构可知，learn后是that引导的宾语从句，作learn的宾语。该宾语从句的谓语动词是eat，设空处应用非谓语动词形式；宾语从句的主语sea animals与think之间是逻辑上的主动关系，需用现在分词作原因状语。
5.答案：puzzling; puzzled
解析：考查形容词。句意：那真是一个令人困惑的问题，难怪建筑师看上去很困惑。第一空作定语，修饰名词problem，表示"令人困惑的"，故填puzzling；第二空表示"感到困惑的"，故填puzzled。
二、翻译题
6.答案：① rather than sit
② rather take; than
③ rather than
解析： ② would do... rather than do... =would rather do... than do… =prefer to do... rather than do…宁愿做……而不愿做……
7.答案：① accessible to
② have access to

8.答案：① Even if/though
② Though/Although
③ Surprised as/though
解析：① even if/though意为"即使，尽管"，表达的情感比 though/ although强烈。
② though/although意为"虽然，即使", 二者不能与but连用，但可以与yet连用。
③as引导让步状语从句时，只能用倒装句式，通常可换成 thought(但不能是although)。常用于以下句式：名词/形容词/副词/动词等+as/ though+ 主语+其他。，如果名词前有冠词，冠词须省略。
9.答案：① determined to be
② determined that
③ determine to be

13.答案：C
解析：理解观点、态度。根据文章最后一段"The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni"可知， 南极洲之旅后， Ginni意识到了那是一片净土， 应该受到人类的尊重和保护， 这让她深受触动。A项"南极洲可以成为她的家"; B项"南极洲理应易达"; D项"南极洲需要全面介绍"。故选C项。
14.答案：B
解析：理解文章主旨要义。文章提及Ginni喜欢旅行， 着重介绍了Ginni难忘的南极洲奇遇。A项"一个童年梦想", 与全文主题不符； C项"环游世界", 范畴超过了本文内容； D项"遇见南极洲的动物", 以偏概全。故选B项。

④根据空前的"Learning(学习)"和下文中的"learn from experiences"以及"whether plants could learn"可知A项(植物可以被训练吗？)符合本段主旨，与下句衔接紧密，由两个问句引出本段话题。A项中的"plants be taught"与下文中的"plants can actually learn"对应。故选A。
⑤本段讲的是植物有记忆，分析选项可知E项与记忆有关，且E项中的"memory(记忆)"与上句的"memories"是原词复现，"They"指代上句中的"plants"。故选E。
