Text 2
M: Does the chicken taste all right I learnt from a cook yesterday.
W: It’s wonderful, but a little dry. To tell the truth, I can cook chicken too.
Text 3
W: What a beautiful sunny day today! Let’s go to the beach.
M: Okay, I’ll get my beach towel. You can lie down on the sand while I am swimming.
Text 4
M: Can I see your ticket, madam
W: Oh, I was so busy looking at the paintings in this hall that I must have forgotten to buy one.

W: I’m wondering what kind of clothes to wear for our visit. What’s the weather usually like in your country in September

Text 6
W: What are you reading
M: It is a book written by a guy who was born without arms or legs.
W: What So, how does he get around
M: He can actually walk pretty well, but he can’t move that fast. He also has an assistant who helps him. He is actually quite successful.
W: He must have worked pretty hard.
M: Yeah. He travels around the world and gives speeches to young people. He’s changed many people’s lives. Even when nothing seemed possible, he stayed positive and put in even more effort.
Text 7
M: Will you visit your grandpa this weekend
W: Yes, I will. Will you go along with me
M: Maybe. I will see my schedule first. I’m interested in going to your village. I seldom go to a village.
W: OK. I’ll be glad if you go with me. I can show you the beautiful scenery—the clean river, and the rice field.
M: It’s great! What does your grandpa do
W: My grandpa was a soldier before, but he is retired. He does farming like the other people in the village.
M: What about your grandma
W: She passed away a few years ago.
M: Is your grandpa alone there
W: Yes, he is. That’s why I often visit him.
M: Why don’t you stay there
W: I plan to stay there after I graduate from university.

M: Hello, welcome to this week’s Meeting Artists. Our guest today is Mildred Howard. She will talk about her story with gardens. Welcome, Mrs Howard.
W: Thank you. To begin with, I’d like to share my childhood memories. Well, my parents had gardens. So I could always pick fresh tomatoes, pull out carrots and taste sweet melons.
M: Interesting! Many kids don’t know where food comes from.
W: That’s why I started the Alice Waters Garden Project.
M: Can you tell us something about it For example, how does it work
W: We design and build a 5-acre garden first. The kids, mainly aged from 7 to 12, work in the garden with their hands in the dirt. Then they take what they’ve grown to the kitchen and spend time cooking and developing recipes. This is the way they learn something about teamwork, creativity, and most importantly, where the food they eat every day comes from.
Text 9
W: Good afternoon! Welcome to the Service Centre. What can I do for you
M: Good afternoon. I’d like to rent a two-bedroom apartment.
W: OK, do you have a specific location in mind
M: Well, I’d like to live near the elementary school, or at least within 2 miles.
W: Do you teach at the school
M: No. I teach at the university, but my son goes to school there.
W: OK. What price range can you afford
M: $500 to $580 a month.
W: Would you prefer an apartment with furniture or an empty one
M: With furniture, and we’d like to be able to cook at home.
W: Okay. Here are the photos of two apartments that I think will fit your needs. You can choose between them.
M: Thank you. Ah. The one on the Broadway Avenue looks nicer than the one on Main Street. When can I have a look
W: You can look around now if you’d like. Let me get the key for you. If you are satisfied, we can sign an agreement today.
M: Great! Thanks. How much do you charge for the service
W: $100.
M: All right.
Text 10
M: Hello, everyone. My name is John. Today I want to say something mainly about my daily life. First I want to say my life has changed a lot. When I was a child, I had a lot of time to play. But now I have to study all day. I used to play baseball and basketball with my classmates, but now I just stay at home and do my homework. I seldom watch TV these days, but I’m often busy preparing for my tests. Books were my good friends. I used to read a lot of cartoon books and storybooks instead of reading textbooks all day like now. I enjoy doing homework with my friends. But my parents don’t allow me to do that, because they think we will talk instead of studying. I disagree. We can learn a lot from each other. My mother is a doctor, and my father is an engineer. They expect me to be a doctor when I grow up, but I want to be a writer. Maybe I’ll be a doctor anyway, but I don’t think I could be a happy doctor.

第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些既省时又可以准备出美味的、令人满意的饭菜的用餐计划应用程序。
21.C　细节理解题。根据LaLa Lunchbox部分中“This adorable app takes the stress out of packing lunches by getting kids involved in choosing their meals.”可知,LaLa Lunchbox可以消除帮孩子准备午餐的压力,所以是最适合给孩子准备午餐的应用程序。故选C项。
22.D　细节理解题。根据BigOven Recipes & Meal Planner部分中“Our favourite feature of BigOven The Use Up Leftovers tool, which suggests a recipe you can make with the three ingredients you enter.”可知,BigOven Recipes & Meal Planner的特别之处在于它可以根据特定食材提供菜谱。故选D项。
23.D　推理判断题。根据第二段“…sometimes meal planning comes down to simply getting a delicious and satisfying meal on the table.”可知,本文推荐的应用程序针对的是人们在厨房花较少时间做好饭菜的需求。由此推知,这些应用程序都可以在不同方面简化烹饪。故选D项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的个人经历以及成就。
24.C　推理判断题。 根据第一段中的“Sometimes his mum walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, ‘You’re going to burn your eyes out!’”以及第二段“Spielberg’s mum, like all the other 50s mums who said the same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must have been thinking: Who is this child ”可推知,当斯皮尔伯格的妈妈看到儿子在电视机前的行为时,她感到担心和困惑。故选C。
25.B　细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“Movies have been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg’s career has covered more than a third of that.”和最后一段中的“Yet his career is extraordinary in any context. He’s made some box-office disappointments, but naming a badly-made Spielberg film is hard, probably because there isn’t one. No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.”可知,B选项“他很小的时候就对电影摄制表现出了极大的兴趣。”不是斯皮尔伯格的事业被认为非凡的原因。故选B。
26.B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And when you see his new film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that’s drawn from his own family’s story, you’ll know even more.”可推知,斯皮尔伯格的新片《造梦之家》与他成长经历的一部分有关。故选B。
27.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.”并结合文章主要介绍了导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的个人经历以及成就可知,文章的写作目的是介绍电影制作界的一位巨人。故选A。
C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现在保存和使用语言的能力方面,“非用即失”的说法似乎并不正确。
28.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The research team tasked almost 500 British people who had taken French GCSE or A-level between 1970 and 2020 with completing a French vocabulary and grammar test.”可知,研究团队要求参与者完成一个法语词汇和语法测试。故选A项。
29.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Vocabulary knowledge, on the other hand, exists in a highly connected network, which means that we need only be reminded of a word that sounds similar to a foreign language word for our brain to recall it.”可知,我们只需要被提醒一个听起来与外语单词相似的单词,我们的大脑就能回忆起它。故选C项。
30.D　推理判断题。根据尾段“We hope that it might encourage more people to pick foreign languages back up if they know it would only take a short amount of time in refresher lessons to go back to their original level…”可知,施密德指出,如果人们知道只需要很短的复习时间就能回到原来的水平,这也许能鼓励更多的人重新学习外语,由此可知,一个人只需要很短的复习时间就能够重新学会一门外语。故选D项。
31.C　主旨大意题。根据首段中的“The old saying ‘Use it or lose it.’ doesn’t seem to be true when it comes to someone’s ability to preserve and use a foreign language, a new study has showed.”可知,本文介绍的是一项研究表明,“非用即失”这种说法在一个人保存和使用语言的能力方面似乎不正确,结合下文中对该研究过程的介绍以及对研究结果的分析以及第四段中的“The knowledge of language is surprisingly stable over long periods of time, compared to other subjects such as maths, history or science. This is likely because of the way language is stored in memory.”可知,即使人们很多年不使用以前学过的语言,其语言知识在很长一段时间内也能有相当的稳定性,所以“外语知识受用一生”与本文的内容一致,且概括了本文的主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。
D
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明人类情绪的大脑回路与动物的大脑回路有很多共同之处,并介绍了研究开展的过程以及意义。
32.B　细节理解题。根据第一段“But those terms are of little use to scientists like David Anderson who studies the brain circuits (脑回路) involved in emotional behaviours.”以及第二段“We have to do more than just project our own emotions onto other animals…”可知,安德森认为人们对动物情感的常见描述对动物情感行为的研究来讲太主观了,不能被视为科学证据。故选B。
33.B　推理判断题。根据第三段“For example, Anderson’s lab has investigated fruit flies that become much more active when they see a moving shadow looking like their natural enemies. ‘We see that the more times we deliver the shadow, the jumpier the flies become,’ he says. And the flies keep jumping long after the shadow is gone. Anderson would behave much the same if he saw a snake.”可推知,第三段提到例子是为了显示人类和动物情感的相似之处。故选B。
34.C　词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“…that circuit to reduce the fear response of people with certain diseases like PTSD.”可知,要减少患有某些疾病(如创伤后应激障碍)的人的恐惧反应,科学家们需要调整这些回路。故画线词的意思是“调整”。故选C。
35.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘We now understand specific parts of the circuit that increase fear and other parts of the circuit that decrease fear,’ Anderson says. ‘The next step,’ he says, ‘is to figure out how to tweak that circuit to reduce the fear response of people with certain diseases like PTSD.’”可推知,下一步的研究重点是了解更多的人类大脑状态。故选B。
第二节
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了培养积极思维模式的几种方法。
36.G　根据本段主题句“Get a positive mood as soon as possible with a fun morning routine.”及本段内容可知,本段主要列举了一些早起的习惯,G项中的eat a tasty and nutritious breakfast与主题句对应。由此可知,G项(吃一顿美味又营养的早餐,开始一项让你微笑的任务。)符合语境。故选G。
37.C　根据上文“Build a network of people who approach life with lots of positivity.”可知,本段主要介绍的应该是你和什么样的人建立联系,C项(少花时间和那些让你沮丧的人在一起。)与上文形成对比关系,符合语境。故选C。
38.E　根据上文“This activity proves you’ve made a strong impact on your community.”可知,写下自己帮助别人的方法会证明你对社区产生了很大影响,这会让你对自己的能力持积极态度,E项(因此,你会对自己的能力持积极态度。)与上文形成因果关系,符合语境。故选E。
39.A　根据下文“To combat stress, fatigue or frustration, you should set aside moments to unwind. Try out activities that calm you, like reading a book, watching a show, or chatting with a friend. Use mindfulness routines, like yoga or deep breathing, to take care of your body and regulate your mood.”可知,本段主要介绍了一些让自己放松的方法。A项(花点时间放松一下,提升心情。)概括下文,符合语境。故选A。
40.D　根据上文“Join a social group to feel valued and included.”可知,本段的关键词是a social group,D项中的belonging to a social group和上文的join a social group呼应。D项(加入一个社会团体有助于建立积极的人生观。)说明加入团队的益处,符合语境。故选D。

第四部分
第一节
One possible version:
　　Helping my parents do housework
During the summer vacation, our school held an activity called “Helping my parents do housework”, aiming to improve students’ sense of responsibility and gratitude.
The activity involved various chores such as cleaning, cooking and laundry. Not only did the activity help us acquire some skills, but also it brought us happiness created by our labour work. Furthermore, it strengthened our relationship with our parents.
Personally, I find this activity both educational and rewarding. It has taught me the importance of contributing to the family and has deepened my appreciation for my parents’ daily efforts. More activities like this are highly expected.
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者曾经目睹了父亲帮助因车没油而被困在路上的女士,但作者感到不高兴,因为他们花了很多时间。但是作者在冬天的某一天开车时,车陷入了雪里,多亏了好心人的帮助她才得以脱困,作者也因此才理解了父亲的做法。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我高高兴兴地离开家,开车去学校。”可知,第一段可描写作者开车时车陷在雪里了,一个陌生人过来要帮助作者。
②由第二段首句内容“‘我来推,你加油门,’陌生人看着我陷在雪地里的车指示道。”可知,第二段可描写陌生人成功帮助了作者并拒绝了作者的钱,作者也明白了帮人就是帮自己的道理。
2.续写线索:开车去学校—车陷在雪里—陌生人帮忙—拿钱感谢—对方拒绝—作者感悟
One possible version:
I just gladly left home and drove to school. During the day, it snowed like crazy unexpectedly. By the end of school there was four inches of snow. As I drove home(时间状语从句), making my way through the streets(现在分词作状语), I found myself stuck at a crossroads(形容词作宾补). A big guy saw me anxiously struggling to rock my car free(重要搭配:see sb doing sth看见某人正在做某事). He came up and tapped the window, asking, “Miss, do you need help ” I rolled the window down just enough to keep the cold air from rushing in on me(重要搭配:keep…from doing sth阻止……做某事). “Yeah,” I answered.
“I’ll push while you give it a little gas,” the stranger instructed, looking at my car stuck in the snow. “Okay,” I said and heard him yell behind the car, “Good.” He pushed some more, saying, “A little more gas.” The car finally was free. “Thanks, sir,” I said, pulling five dollars from my purse(现在分词作状语). The man shook his head and said, “Just pass it on by helping somebody else.” Thinking about Dad’s previous talk about helping others and now the man’s words(现在分词作状语), I realized that we should help others whenever we can(that引导的宾语从句;whenever引导让步状语从句). Helping others(动名词作主语) often means helping ourselves.模块素养测评卷

When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the 1950s in Arizona, watching westerns on his family’s 20-inch black-and-white TV, he would climb right up to the screen, as if to surround himself with the image. He also wished he could see these moving pictures in colour. So he searched through his family’s collection of slides quickly, having learned that by holding one film or another up to the television screen he could turn greyed-out western skies blue, or the ground to a realistic-looking green. Sometimes his mum walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, “You’re going to burn your eyes out!”
Spielberg’s mum, like all the other 50s mums who said the same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must have been thinking: Who is this child
If you’ve seen even just one Steven Spielberg movie in the past 50 years or so—Jaws, Schindler’s List, E.T.the Extra-Terrestrial—you have some sense of who this child grew up to be. And when you see his new film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that’s drawn from his own family’s story, you’ll know even more. Movies have been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg’s career has covered more than a third of that. Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a late-career movie. It’s a bridge for a new beginning.
Not every 75-year-old filmmaker makes a movie like this. Of the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early 1970s, Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a consistent (连续的) clip. Yet his career is extraordinary in any context. He’s made some box-office disappointments, but naming a badly-made Spielberg film is hard, probably because there isn’t one. No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship, to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.
(　)24.How did Spielberg’s mum feel when she saw her son’s behaviour in front of the TV set
A.Proud but upset.
B.Surprised but supportive.
C.Worried and confused.
D.Annoyed and desperate.

The old saying “Use it or lose it.” doesn’t seem to be true when it comes to someone’s ability to preserve and use a foreign language, a new study has showed.
The research team tasked almost 500 British people who had taken French GCSE or A-level between 1970 and 2020 with completing a French vocabulary and grammar test. They included a survey of whether participants had used their French knowledge over the years since their exams, and excluded (排除) anyone who had studied a language later on in life.
They found that participants who had taken their exam 50 years ago and not used French ever since performed as well as recent school-leavers and those who occasionally used French.
The lead researcher Monika Schmid said: “The knowledge of language is surprisingly stable over long periods of time, compared to other subjects such as maths, history or science. This is likely because of the way language is stored in memory. Vocabulary is memorized in the same way that facts, dates and names are, while this memory may become weaker over time, and grammar is learned in a similar way to riding a bike, a kind of muscle memory, which is much more stable. Vocabulary knowledge, on the other hand, exists in a highly connected network, which means that we need only be reminded of a word that sounds similar to a foreign language word for our brain to recall it.”
“Many people are not willing to revisit languages they once learnt as they fear they will be forced to relive some of the more ‘boring’ elements of the courses, such as grammar, but our work suggests that this would not be necessary. We hope that it might encourage more people to pick foreign languages back up if they know it would only take a short amount of time in refresher lessons to go back to their original level,” Schmid added.
(　)28.What did the researchers ask the participants to do
A.Take an exam.
B.Conduct a survey in French.
C.Learn French from recent school-leavers.
D.Talk about their French GCSE experience.
(　)29.What can help us recall a foreign word
A.A fact related to it.
B.Our muscle memory.
C.A similar-sounding word.
D.The grammar of the language.
(　)30.What can we infer from Schmid’s words in the last paragraph
A.One is able to quickly and easily learn a new language.
B.Years of use promises fluency in a foreign language.
C.The boring elements of a language course are important.
D.It is easier than one thinks to pick a foreign language back up.
(　)31.What is the best title for the text
A.Language tests taken at school matter
B.If you don’t use a language, you lose it
C.Knowledge of foreign languages lasts a lifetime
D.When you grasp the grammar, you learn the language

We humans often say that a growling dog is “angry” or a purring cat is “happy”. But those terms are of little use to scientists like David Anderson who studies the brain circuits (脑回路) involved in emotional behaviours.
“We have to do more than just project our own emotions onto other animals,” he says. Yet Anderson describes research from his lab that suggests the brain circuits underlying human emotions have a lot in common with circuits found in animals’. “What lies beneath feelings,” he says, “is brain states that produce certain behaviours. And that’s the part of emotions we share in common with animals and that scientists can study.”
For example, Anderson’s lab has investigated fruit flies that become much more active when they see a moving shadow looking like their natural enemies. “We see that the more times we deliver the shadow, the jumpier the flies become,” he says. And the flies keep jumping long after the shadow is gone. Anderson would behave much the same if he saw a snake. “I’d jump into the air,” he says. “Even for minutes after the snake had slipped away into the bushes, my heart would be pounding, and I’d probably jump every time I saw a snakelike object—even if it was a stick.”
That sort of behaviour is typical of an ongoing brain state called defensive arousal(防御性唤醒). Its presence in both fruit flies and people is why Anderson believes studying fear in an insect or a mouse is meaningful as it can reveal a lot about human emotions. “We can try to figure out how the brain is generating that state and what makes the animal finally calm down,” Anderson says. “We now understand specific parts of the circuit that increase fear and other parts of the circuit that decrease fear,” Anderson says. “The next step,” he says, “is to figure out how to tweak that circuit to reduce the fear response of people with certain diseases like PTSD.”
(　)32.What does Anderson think about people’s common description of animals’ emotions
A.It is limited by people’s knowledge of brain functions.
B.It is too subjective to be regarded as scientific evidence.
C.It is actually some misunderstanding of animals’ behaviour.
D.It is meaningless to the study of animals’ emotional behaviour.
(　)33.Why are the examples mentioned in Paragraph 3
A.To prove the effect of natural enemies on flies’ behaviour.
B.To show similarities between human and animal emotions.
C.To mention the great influence of Anderson’s bad experience.
D.To stress the effects of negative emotions on people and animals.
(　)34.What does the underlined word “tweak” in the last paragraph mean
A.Replace.　　　　　　B.Predict.
C.Adjust. D.Observe.
(　)35.What will the further research mainly focus on
A.Looking beyond human feelings.
B.Figuring out more human brain states.
C.Finding a cure for certain mental diseases.
D.Changing traditional ways of treating animals.

Helping my parents do housework



第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a Friday. Once the school bus dropped me off at my home, I ran quickly into the house. “Dad, I’m here. I’m ready!” I called out. He would drive me to the supermarket and then I would continue taking my driving courses. On the way to the supermarket, I told my dad I needed to get two pairs of shoes. “One pair is enough,” Dad replied.
Unhappy, I felt our car slow down, as he pulled up. “Dad, why are we stopping ” I asked. Dad said, “The lady back there looks like she’s in trouble.” I turned around, seeing a little, old truck pulled to the side of the highway. Dad told me there was a lady inside and that she was having trouble with the truck and needed some help. “Dad, why do we have to stop and help her Let somebody else do it,” I said, wanting to reach the supermarket quickly.
“Look, girl. Don’t be selfish (自私的),” he said seriously. “By helping this lady, there’s a great possibility that if you ever get stuck or need help, someone just might stop and help you. Sit here. I’ll be right back!”
Then, he walked through the rain back towards the woman’s truck. Minutes later he was back, saying she had run out of gas. Then, he drove to a gas station and bought gas for the lady without asking her to pay. I felt unhappy because helping her took us much time.
Days later, I had my learner’s permit (许可证) and then my driver’s licence (驾照). I drove everywhere during the summer, and I was excited when school started because I drove myself to school: no more bus for me. Autumn turned quickly into winter, and I still loved the freedom my second-hand car gave me.
But my first winter of driving in the snow was a challenge. Not knowing it would have an unexpected snowstorm that day and that I would have a big problem, I started my car on that clear winter morning.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
I just gladly left home and drove to school.


Paragraph 2:
“I’ll push while you give it a little gas,” the stranger instructed, looking at my car stuck in the snow.
