Text 2

Text 3
M: What about eating out tonight
W: Great idea! I know some new restaurants in the city, such as The Parlor, Mary’s, and Napa Valley.

Text 4

W: Hi, I know Dr Wilson won’t be back till next week. I wonder if you could check in her computer records and find out how I did on her mid-term exam
M: I’m sorry. I have no right to give out that kind of information.
Text 6
M: I’m too tired now. I’ve already been working for 12 hours without a rest!
W: God! Don’t you think the boss should get someone to help you
M: Yes, but so far nobody’s turned up, and I have to do the work alone.

M: I’m afraid I can’t before I finish this project.

M: Penny, a group of us in the office are thinking of organizing badminton games every Saturday morning. Do you want to join us
W: Yes, that’s a great idea. I really need to get fit.
M: We all feel the same. Sitting here in an office all day isn’t healthy.
W: Who else will be playing
M: Colin, Alice, Jerry…I think Alice might bring one of her friends.
W: Sounds good. Where will we play
M: We can either go to the town sports centre or one of the local schools. I believe they hire out badminton courts.

M: That would be great.
Text 8
M: Are you looking for something special
W: Yes. I want to buy my dad a nice gift for Father’s Day. I usually couldn’t get him things that he likes, so I want to get it right this time.
M: Well, we have many items that men usually like. Does he use computers much We sell a screen cover that protects the eyes.
W: No, he’s not much interested in technology.
M: How about clothes, then Our shirts and ties are some of our most popular Father’s Day products.
W: That’s what I bought him last year—a nice jacket. He never wore it. But he liked my brother’s gift, which was a camera. He uses it to take many pictures from different parts of the world.
M: Your father probably likes to travel, right
W: That’s true.
M: Then I have a perfect gift for him: a foldable travel bag. It can carry a lot of things, and it’s comfortable to hold. When you aren’t using it, the bag can be folded into a carrying bag that is as small as a wallet.
Text 9
W: Mr White, could you spare me a few minutes to go over the letter I’ve just finished
M: OK. Please sit down. Why did you write a letter in German
W: I made a pen pal, who is a German girl. She always writes to me in English and asks me about college life. But in fact, her English isn’t very good. So I decided to write to her in German. My main purpose of writing the letter is to invite her to come here so that I can show her around.
M: OK, let me have a look.
W: I find it difficult to write letters in German. I started to write the letter yesterday afternoon, but didn’t finish it until this morning. I’m not sure if it’s OK.
M: Oh, your letter is wonderful. Actually, writing letters in German isn’t that difficult. With more practice, you will find it easy.
W: It seems that I should write to my pen pal more often.
M: That’s a good idea.
Text 10
W:I’m here to announce that we will operate a new flight from London Heathrow to the Maldives. We couldn’t be more excited to add this new route to our airline route map. I think many of you know our slogan “See the World Differently”, so the Maldives will surely leave you with unforgettable memories when you take a trip there. Our history began in 1984, when Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Atlantic, couldn’t leave Puerto Rico because his flight was cancelled, and a great idea of establishing a new company appeared in his mind. Shortly afterward, we were able to open 600-plus flights. This is the result we couldn’t have imagined. We fly to and from North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Our company is dedicated to the comfort of the passengers. We currently have three different types of cabins: upper class, premium and economy. Recently I received some inside information that the company is going to introduce a new type of cabin: business economy, which will be sold at more affordable prices, compared to the former three. However, its seating capacity is only half of them, so you will have to get the tickets as quickly as you can.

第一节
A
【文章大意】 这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四名撰稿人。
21.A　细节理解题。根据Sarah Gagliano部分后两句“While exploring the various national parks in the Montreal area,she makes sure to bring her camera along and keeps her eyes for amazing wildlife photo opportunities. Check out her awesome photo album about the nearby Boucherville National Park in ‘Wild about Hiking’ on page 8.”可知,如果你对野生动物感兴趣,你可能更喜欢《酷爱徒步旅行》。故选A。
22.C　细节理解题。根据Sarah Gagliano第一句“Sarah enjoys various outdoor activities in all seasons,including cycling and hiking.”、Nate Tiemer第二句“At 67 she retired and started writing, a hobby to pursue.”、Brent Hendrick第一句“As a documentary film-maker,photographer and adventurer, Brent, for the past 30 years, has sought out and explored abandoned, forgotten, but simply fascinating sites around the country.”和Jackie第一句“For more than 30 years, Jackie has enjoyed touring the world’s seven continents.”可知,文中提到的四个人都有自己的爱好。故选C。
23.B　推理判断题。通读全文,并结合文中四个人的作品可知,这篇文章是为了介绍四名撰稿人。故选B。
B
【文章大意】 本文是记叙文。文章讲述介绍了 13 岁的 Ava Dorsey 创立了一家销售有机狗粮和猫粮的企业 Ava’s Pet Palace。她看好宠物零食行业的未来,同时也希望更多的青少年加入这个行业。
24.C　细节理解题。根据文章第一段“13-year-old Ava Dorsey is the founder of Ava’s Pet Palace, a business that sells organic dog and cat treats.”和第二段“Unlike most dog treats that you find in stores, dog treats sold by Ava’s Pet Palace are 100% organic, and are non-GMO(非转基因).”可知,Ava’s Pet Palace 致力于生产有机的宠物食品。故选C。
25.C　词义猜测题。根据文章第三段第二句“When asked how she defines(定义) success, Ava says,‘When you hit a bump in the road, you shouldn’t give up and you keep trying.’”和第四句话“Some more things Ava has learned from her years in business: hard work eventually pays off and there is nothing wrong with asking for help.”可知,Ava Dorsey 认为成功意味着面对困难时不放弃,并且学到了努力终会有回报,以及寻求帮助很正常。所以这个短语指的是面对有挑战的情况。故选C。
26.D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段前两句话“As far as the future of the pet treats industry goes, Ava is optimistic—but she’d also like to be an inspiration for change.‘There’s not much diversity(多样性) right now, so that’s something I would love to see in the future,’says Ava.”可得知,Ava Dorsey 看好宠物零食行业的未来,希望自己能给行业变化带来灵感与启示,期待行业内更多的多样性。由此可推断她希望在宠物零食行业开辟新领域来使该行业呈现多样性。 故选D。
27.B　推理判断题。根据第一段“‘I actually had the idea when I was six with a picture I drew of a palace,’she says.It was a detailed design for dogs and cats and she had serious plans to build it one day.”、第二段“Unlike most dog treats that you find in stores, dog treats sold by Ava’s Pet Palace are 100%organic, and are non-GMO(非转基因).”以及第三段“When asked how she defines(定义) success, Ava says,‘When you hit a bump in the road, you shouldn’t give up and you keep trying.’”可知,Ava Dorsey 在 6 岁时便萌生了创业的想法,与普通宠物零食不同的是,Ava’s Pet Palace所售卖的零食是百分之百有机而且非转基因的,作为一名年轻的企业家,Ava Dorsey 面临很多挑战,尤其是她因年龄小而不被人看好,但她坚持不放弃并最终获得成功。由此可得知她坚决且富有创造力。故选B。
C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了生物学家Slobodchikoff想利用人工智能来帮助人们更好地了解宠物,以便达到更好地交流这一目的。
28.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中“He watched as the owner walked over to the dog, towered over the pet and then said, ‘Good dog!’ in a low-pitched(低声的) voice.”以及“Slobodchikoff recommended that the man should do the opposite.”可知,男人使用很高的语调才能让狗平静下来。故选D。
29.A　细节理解题。根据第三段“This would record video and audio(音频) of a dog’s behaviour and then upload it. An artificial intelligence(AI) system would later analyse it.”可知,人工智能应该被用来分析视频和音频,即分析数据。故选A。
30.B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In 2021, its creators reported that the AI model achieved 90 percent accuracy at identifying nine different emotional states in meows.”可知,这款软件能够识别出猫的情绪。故选B。
31.C　主旨大意题。根据第一段“Slobodchikoff, a biologist who has spent years working to better understand the calls of dogs, used that knowledge to help people who were having trouble with their pets.”并结合文章介绍了生物学家Slobodchikoff想设计宠物语言翻译器的想法以及提到了不断在尝试的智能猫语翻译器可知,这篇文章主要讨论了动物语言翻译技术试验。故选C。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了排行中间的孩子的特点和感受,以及形成这种现象的原因。
32.B　推理判断题。由文章第一段中“The middle child, I think, is now an ‘endangered species’. According to a study, in 1976,65 percent of mothers between aged 40 and 44 had three or more children. Today, nearly two-thirds of women with children have only one or two. Middle children will soon be the tiniest.”可知,作者在第一段中提到这项研究是为了引出本文的主题,即介绍排行中间的孩子的特点和感受,以及形成这种现象的原因。故选B。
33.B　推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Being a middle child is not something you are eager for. As one middle child said to me, ‘There is a thing called middle-child syndrome (综合征). I certainly was always aware that the middle was not a position to be admired, even as I came to see typical middle-child features in myself. Middle children are natural mediators (和事佬); I avoid disagreements and habitually act as the family peace maker. Middle children tend to be private but also long for love; I keep to myself but do not exactly hate attention.’”(成为中间的孩子并不是你所渴望的。正如一个排行中间的孩子对我说的,“有一个事情被叫作中间孩子综合征。我当然总是能意识到,中间的位置不值得羡慕,即使当我在自己身上看到典型的中间孩子的特征。中间的孩子是天生的调解人;我避免分歧,并习惯性地充当家庭和平缔造者。排行中间的孩子往往不爱张扬,但也渴望爱;我独来独往,但并不讨厌别人的关注。”)可知,“中间孩子综合征”清楚地显示了中庸的典型特征。故选B。
34.C　推理判断题。由文章第五段中“More importantly, middles may be many things and they were the only birth order with which no one connected the term ‘overindulged’. It is true: their parents couldn’t allow them to do or have whatever they want, especially when they are old enough, and they don’t ask for everything either even if they are eager to own it occasionally.” (更重要的是,中间可能是很多东西,它们是唯一一个没有和“过度溺爱”这个词联系在一起的出生顺序。这是真的:他们的父母不允许他们做任何他们想做的事情或拥有任何他们想要的东西,尤其是当他们足够大的时候,他们也不会要求任何东西,即使他们偶尔渴望拥有它。)可知,中间的孩子不被溺爱,父母不允许他们做任何他们想要做的事情,他们不会要求任何东西,因此推断12岁的不愿意自己吃早饭的保罗是一个被过度溺爱的孩子。故选C。
35.C　推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Middle children tend to be private but also long for love; I keep to myself but do not exactly hate attention.” (排行中间的孩子往往不爱张扬,但也渴望爱;我独来独往,但并不讨厌别人的关注。)和第四段中“According to studies, middles traditionally receive less economic and emotional support from their parents. They also typically have less close relationships with their mothers and fathers compared with other brothers or sisters, so they tend to have more friends to fill the feeling gap.” (根据研究,传统上,中间的孩子从父母那里得到的经济和情感支持较少。与其他兄弟姐妹相比,他们与父母的关系通常也不那么亲密,所以他们往往有更多的朋友来填补感情上的空白。)可知,作者认为中间的孩子往往被忽视但独立。故选C。
第二节
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何清楚表达观点提出了一些建议。
36.C　根据上文“Say many things, and people will remember none. Say some things, and people will remember some. Say ONE thing, and people will remember ALL. Want to express clear viewpoints ”并结合后文主要就如何清楚表达观点提出了建议可知,此处应承上启下,故C选项(这四条建议不容错过)符合语境,故选C。
37.E　根据上文“Express more, explain less.”(多表达,少解释。)以及后文“We think the audience doesn’t understand something, so we explain it. But in that case, explaining serves to correct a failed expression.”可知,本句主要在解释这种行为,结合后文可知,观众不理解一些东西,所以我们解释它,说明解释是一种理解行为。故E选项(解释通常是一种理解行为)符合语境,故选E。
38.A　根据后文“Wherever you see a list of words or concepts (概念), ask yourself: Do I need all these words or concepts to attract my audience’s attention or are some of them not needed When you remove less important ideas, your audience will gain more.”可知,本段的主旨是删除不太重要的想法,故A选项(去掉不必要的想法)符合语境,故选A。
39.F　根据上文“Limit paragraphs to three sentences. If you’re writing your idea in a document or e-mail, try to make paragraphs to three sentences or less. This makes it easier for readers to understand your points because they have less contents to process. And because you’re writing in short, direct points compared with long pieces of text, you may find yourself writing less overall.”可知,本段的建议是“把段落限制在三句话以内”,这是一种写作规则,本句为本段最后一句,应说明这种写作规则的好处。故F选项(每个人都能从应用这个写作规则中受益)符合语境,故选F。
40.G　根据上文“Hear your own words. No matter how much you review your own writing, hearing it will always identify places to cut.”可知,上文提到了通过听自己的文章找出需要删减的地方。故G选项(你可以自己大声朗读来找出单词)符合语境,故选G。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Tom,
I’m thrilled to receive your e-mail asking for recommendations on summer tourist attractions and local food in China. Tom, you will undoubtedly have a wonderful time during your visit.
Firstly, I would recommend you to visit the Great Wall, a symbol of China, to enjoy its magnificent view and feel the history of this country. Secondly, the Forbidden City, which is a large ancient wooden building complex in the centre of Beijing, is also a must-visit place. As for the local food, I suggest you try Beijing Duck, a famous dish in Beijing, and Chinese dumplings, traditional Chinese food.
I hope you will have a great time during your visit to China. I’m sure you will be fascinated by the beauty of China and have a wonderful experience.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为中心展开,主要讲述了作者一家搬到新家之后邀请邻居参加“了解你们”聚会。他们挨家挨户送完了邀请函,可是过了约定的时间,却还没有人来。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“又过了十分钟,我睁大了眼睛。”可知,第一段可描写作者睁大眼睛是因为有邻居来了。
②由第二段首句内容“我们在院子里和老两口聊天,发现来了更多的邻居。”可知,第二段可描写作者他们和邻居们相处得很愉快。
2.续写线索:客人到来—送花—放松—更多客人到来—欢乐—感悟
One possible version:
Another ten minutes dragged by and then my eyes widened. In the distance, across the road, a couple walked in our direction. The woman was holding a bunch of flowers. “Someone’s coming!” Holly and Olivia called out, jumping up and down (现在分词作状语). With a racing heart, I watched as they headed our way (时间状语从句). I sprang out of my seat, ran to them and reached out my hand. “Hi! I’m Tim. Thank you for coming!” “I’m Kyle Willson,” the husband said, shaking my hand firmly(现在分词作状语). “And I’m Emily,” his wife said. Smiling gently (现在分词作状语), Sarah took the bunch of flowers from her, hugged her and then led them to the yard. I was less anxious at that time.
Chatting with the old couple in the yard, we found more neighbours coming. Sally with the lovely kids, the Parkers, and Mr Davis all made it here. We introduced each other and talked over refreshing cold drinks, bursting into laughter from time to time (现在分词作状语). “This is such a great idea and thank you for offering us the opportunity to bond with everybody on Whitney Drive,” Sally said. Olivia and Holly ran around with the kids, laughing out loud (现在分词作状语). From that day on, we often spend time together and help each other. I’ve learned that it’s not a place that builds a community but the people (第一个that引导的是宾语从句,第二个that引导的是定语从句;重要搭配:not…but…“不是……而是……”).单元素养测评卷(三)

13-year-old Ava Dorsey is the founder of Ava’s Pet Palace, a business that sells organic dog and cat treats.“I actually had the idea when I was six with a picture I drew of a palace,”she says.It was a detailed design for dogs and cats and she had serious plans to build it one day.
Unlike most dog treats that you find in stores, dog treats sold by Ava’s Pet Palace are 100% organic, and are non-GMO (非转基因). Ava has set a goal for herself with these dog treats, and she wants every treat to be healthy, tasty and top-quality. Seriously, some of her treats sound delicious enough for people to eat! “All of my bags now have the USDA organic stamp, and we’re very excited to have gotten it because it’s something I’ve wanted for a long time,”she says.“A lot of stores like to see organic products because customers like it, so that was really exciting.”
Ava says the biggest challenge of being a kid in business is when people don’t take her seriously, but undoubtedly Ava has proved that her doubters are wrong! When asked how she defines(定义) success, Ava says, “When you hit a bump in the road, you shouldn’t give up and you keep trying.”She learned that from her mum, who sounds like a smart lady! Some more things Ava has learned from her years in business: hard work eventually pays off and there is nothing wrong with asking for help.
As far as the future of the pet treats industry goes, Ava is optimistic—but she’d also like to be an inspiration for change.“There’s not much diversity (多样性) right now, so that’s something I would love to see in the future,”says Ava.“I would also love to see more kids in this industry.There aren’t many other teenagers around, and I hope that I can be an inspiration to others who hope to lead the pet industry.”

Slobodchikoff, a biologist who has spent years working to better understand the calls of dogs, used that knowledge to help people who were having trouble with their pets.
A man reported his dog wanted to bite him. So Slobodchikoff went to the man’s house. He watched as the owner walked over to the dog, towered over the pet and then said, “Good dog!” in a low-pitched(低声的) voice. “The dog ran into a corner,” Slobodchikoff recalled. The owner had scared the dog. Slobodchikoff recommended that the man should do the opposite. The owner took that advice—and ended up developing a great relationship with his pet.
Not everyone has the time to study dog communication or the money to bring in an expert. Slobodchikoff thinks tech could help. He thinks a cellphone app or device that you could point at a dog. This would record video and audio(音频) of a dog’s behaviour and then upload it.An artificial intelligence(AI)system would later analyse it.
“The AI would translate this for you into English or any other language,” says Slobodchikoff. The result, he explains, may be something like “I’m hungry.” or “I need to go outside to pee.” or “I want to go for a walk.”
To train the AI system, Slobodchikoff planned to get data directly from pet dogs, but for some reason, he hasn’t yet restarted the project to date, but hopes to soon.
Search an app store for a pet translator and you’ll find plenty. Some are completely unscientific and silly. MeowTalk, however, is a cat-translation app based on an AI model. In 2021, its creators reported that the AI model achieved 90 percent accuracy at identifying nine different emotional states in meows. These included anger, happiness, hunting, pain and rest. The app picks conversational phrases based on these emotions, like “Nice to see you.” or “Let me rest.”
People who have tried the app say it doesn’t always work well. But better translations of barks and meows may be just around the corner.
(　)28.What might the man do to calm the dog
A.Tower over the dog.
B.Follow the dog to the corner.
C.Give the dog delicious food.
D.Speak in a high-pitched voice.
(　)29.What is the function of the AI system in Slobodchikoff’s view
A.To analyse data.
B.To train a dog.
C.To record a dog’s behaviour.
D.To collect data from a dog.

The middle child, I think, is now an “endangered species”. According to a study, in 1976, 65 percent of mothers between aged 40 and 44 had three or more children. Today, nearly two-thirds of women with children have only one or two. Middle children will soon be the tiniest.
As a middle child, I am disappointed at the potential disappearance of middle children. I’m the middle of three—two boys, one girl—so I’m what’s sometimes regarded as a “classic middle child”.
Being a middle child is not something you are eager for. As one middle child said to me, “There is a thing called middle-child syndrome (综合征). I certainly was always aware that the middle was not a position to be admired, even as I came to see typical middle-child features in myself. Middle children are natural mediators (和事佬); I avoid disagreements and habitually act as the family peace maker. Middle children tend to be private but also long for love; I keep to myself but do not exactly hate attention.”
According to studies, middles traditionally receive less economic and emotional support from their parents. They also typically have less close relationships with their mothers and fathers compared with other brothers or sisters, so they tend to have more friends to fill the feeling gap.
In a study conducted by the City College of New York in which participants were asked to choose words they associate with the first, last, and middle kids, positive words such as caring and ambitious were cited concerning all three birth orders. Only middles, however, were described with such negative terms as overlooked and confused. More importantly, middles may be many things and they were the only birth order with which no one connected the term “overindulged”. It is true: their parents couldn’t allow them to do or have whatever they want, especially when they are old enough, and they don’t ask for everything either even if they are eager to own it occasionally.
(　)32.Why does the author mention the study in Paragraph 1
A.To inform a definition.　　　B.To introduce the topic.
C.To make a comparison. D.To support his opinion.
(　)33.What can we learn about “middle-child syndrome”
A.It is dangerous for middles to suffer from it.
B.It clearly shows the typical features of middles.
C.It is what non-middle kids admire and wish for.
D.It is the result of the unsuccessful parenting style.
(　)34.Who is an overindulged kid according to Paragraph 5
A.John, 3, asking his mother for dressing him.
B.Mary, 8, busy in focusing on her preference.
C.Paul, 12, unwilling to have breakfast by himself.
D.Nancy, 17, afraid to challenge the maths problems.
(　)35.What’s the author’s opinion about middles according to the passage
A.They are always in low spirits.
B.They stress the protection of privacy.
C.They are ignored but independent.
D.They support the family economically.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Say many things, and people will remember none. Say some things, and people will remember some. Say ONE thing, and people will remember ALL. Want to express clear viewpoints 36.　　　　.
Express more, explain less. 37.　　　　. We think the audience doesn’t understand something, so we explain it. But in that case, explaining serves to correct a failed expression. When you focus on expressing points instead of explaining ideas, you’ll communicate more precisely (精确地). Expressing and delivering are more important about what your audience hears and receives.
38.　　　　. Wherever you see a list of words or concepts (概念), ask yourself: Do I need all these words or concepts to attract my audience’s attention or are some of them not needed When you remove less important ideas, your audience will gain more.
Limit paragraphs to three sentences. If you’re writing your idea in a document or e-mail, try to make paragraphs to three sentences or less. This makes it easier for readers to understand your points because they have less contents to process. And because you’re writing in short, direct points compared with long pieces of text, you may find yourself writing less overall. 39. 　　　　.
Hear your own words. No matter how much you review your own writing, hearing it will always identify places to cut. 40.　　　　. When you say even one word more than you need to, you make your point one word harder for your audience to receive.
A.Remove unnecessary ideas
B.Know your “need-to-know”
C.These four tips shouldn’t be missed
D.You can’t change the style of your writing

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。
“Let’s invite the neighbours to a get-to-know-you party!” I announced to my wife, Sarah, and our 11-year-old twins, Olivia and Holly, as we pulled into the driveway of our new house.
The idea had come to me the day we moved in a month earlier. Every time we passed each basketball field and garden, my excitement grew. Families! I could picture us all hanging out together.
Now, here I was at the end of that driveway, sitting in my camp chair, having serious second thoughts. What if we wait a couple more months to hold a get-together What if we get to know a few folks first Anyway, I made the final decision.
Sarah rearranged bags of chips and popcorn in a basket she’d set out. “I hope we have enough,” she said. Olivia and Holly threw the beanbags to each other to pass the time. A week earlier, Sarah had designed the invitations, “Hello! We’re the Miller Family and new to the neighbourhood. We’d love to meet you on Monday, July 5, anytime between 6 pm and 8 pm. It would be great fun!”
Sarah and the girls had gone house to house, putting an invitation in their mailboxes on Whitney Drive, namely the Parkers, a single mother Sally with two kids and Mr ing home, the kids excitedly talked about the Willsons, an elderly couple they met in the neighbourhood, who seemed to be quite interested when they told them about the party.
However, we hadn’t heard a word since. I checked my watch, 6:10. Maybe I’d misjudged. Sarah also had her doubts obviously. “Would we look silly sitting all alone in our front yard ” she said. “What if no one shows up ” I put my arm around her and drew her close. “We have to have faith,” I said. Then I took two bottles from the cooler I’d stored with juice boxes and cold drinks. Sarah and I clinked (碰杯) them together. “To our new neighbourhood,” I said.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Another ten minutes dragged by and then my eyes widened.


Paragraph 2:
Chatting with the old couple in the yard, we found more neighbours coming.
