Grain Buds (小满) the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 21 this year, and ends on June 5. It means that the seeds from the grain are becoming full but are not ripe. Let’s see what we can do during the “Grain Buds” period. Eating herb of common sow thistle Grain Buds is a season for eating the herb of the common sow thistle, which is one of the earliest edible potherbs in China. It tastes a little bitter, but also sweet. People in Ningxia Hui autonomous region like to eat it mixed with salt, vinegar, peppers or garlic. It tastes delicious and helps people feel refreshed. Some people boil the herb with water and then squeeze out the juice, which can be used to make soup. Key period for flower management This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers. It is also a season when plant diseases and pests are at an all-time high, which makes caring for your garden even more critical. Flowers need a lot of water and extra care to stay healthy. Weeding should be done as they grow quickly and have to be extirpated in order to keep the soil loose and from competing with the flowers for nutrients. Celebrating silkworm deity birthday Silkworm rearing is a traditional byproduct for people in regions south of the Yangtze River. People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces regard this season as the birthday of the silkworm deity. Those who engage in the silk industry thank the deity by offering sacrifices and staging performances. They pray to the deity for blessings and a boom season for the silk business. 21. Which of the following is true about Grain Buds? A. It is seen as the birthday of the flower deity. B. It is an essential period to tend to the garden. C. It means that the seeds from the grain are mature. D. It begins on May 21 this year and ends on July 5. 22. People in the silk industry tend to ______ during the Grain Buds. A offer sacrifices to ancestors B. pray for a close season C. learn to count their blessings D. give shows to thank the deity 23. In which column of a newspaper can we read the article? A. Entertainment. B. Economics. C. Politics. D. Culture. B Unlike most of her peers who left their rural hometowns, 34-year-old Ning Fenfang left her job in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province in 2017 and worked as a village official in her hometown— a mountainous village in Cili county in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province. Now she farms over 66.7 hectares of land. Seeing much of the farmland had been deserted, Ning resigned from her post in 2020 and became a full-time farmer, renting the farmland and hiring villagers to work it. She founded a centre for housewives in the village to work her farmland during busy hours. “It’s never easy,” said Ning. It is very rare for young people to become farmers in rural areas, as farming is labor-intensive and requires constant work in the mud. What’s more, farming is often seen as a job “unsuitable” for both the post-90s generation and women in general. Her decision to become a farmer confused many of her fellow villagers and farming was much more difficult than she had imagined. She experienced tremendous pain due to the intensive labour. At first, she didn’t farm much through lack of farming knowledge, so she didn’t feel pressured to succeed. Later, she decided to expand the scale and spent millions of yuan. “Most of the money is borrowed from banks, families and relatives, so there is no turning back,” she said. Weighing up the pros and cons, her husband ultimately gave up his business to work with her. She has tried to turn farming into a “trendy” job. Instead of traditional farming methods which rely on human labor, Ning promotes mechanized farming, such as using harvesters, cultivators and drones. She also plans to explore the agricultural tourism resources in Zhangjiajie for children living in urban areas to experience farming. Being elected to the 14th National People’s Congress has motivated Ning to feel responsible for fellow farmers. “NPC deputies from the grassroots need to consider rural farmers’ needs and bring their voices to the two sessions,” Ning said. 24. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Ning facilitated the development of local agriculture. B. Ning was once elected to the 14th National People’s Congress. C. Ning was pessimistic about her work and her future in Hangzhou. D. The locals found her decision to become a farmer realistic at first. 25. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Ning gradually expanded the scale of her business. B. Ning lacked adequate knowledge about agriculture. C. Ning did what it took to invest heavily in her business. D. Ning faced more challenges in farming than she had figured. 26. What sets Ning’s farming apart from traditional farming? A. The expansion of agricultural dimensions. B. The restriction of agricultural implements. C. The employment of agricultural machinery. D. The exploration of agricultural tourism resources. 27 Which of the following can best describe Ning Fenfang? A. Desperate and considerate. B. Humble and dynamic. C. Persevering and innovative. D. Sensitive and aggressive. C You’ll boost your brainpower if you brave the unknown, says our memory expert, Jonathan Hancock. There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university, and the academic work is just the start. There are new friends to meet, new opportunities to choose between, new responsibilities to accept... and, for most students, a completely new city to explore. We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone navigate the maze of corridors that led to her room. Before we left that evening, we’d taken her to the local supermarket, and we knew that she had flatmates and phone apps to get her orientated. But the scale of the challenge ahead was clear — to find her way in an unfamiliar world. The good news for Evie — and learners everywhere is that exploring new habitats is hugely beneficial to memory. In a recent study, volunteers walked around a simulated forest environment. Then some of them took the same walk again, while others explored a different forest. And that second group performed significantly better in memory tests straight after. According to the researchers, that was because navigating the new environment stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺) systems-setting up their brains for learning. So leaving home to study for a degree makes perfect sense. What’s more, young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings. But we may all be able to gain some of the benefits, even if it’s just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here are three things to try: (1) Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task—like memorizing a speech in the library or revising for an exam on a park bench — and take an unfamiliar route to get there. (2) Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes. Then see whether it improves your success with other learning tasks, like practising a dance or mastering phrases for a foreign trip. (3) Get lost in your imagination! To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine you’re stranded in a part of it that you’ve never visited. Then try to fancy exactly how you’ll get out. 28. What happened when they sent their daughter to her school according to Paragraph 3? A. They found a park for all their efforts. B. They were new to the surroundings. C. They got lost in the maze of corridors. D. They had no phone apps to rely on. 29. According to the passage, which is not a good way to boost your brain power? A Taking an unfamiliar route to go home. B. Playing some video games that help you explore new surroundings. C. Getting addicted to playing video games before revising for the exam. D. Imagining yourself getting out of a new city before memorizing a speech. 30. Why did the second group in the study perform better in memory tests? A. Because their dopamine systems were activated. B. Because they entered the same environment twice. C. Because they had flatmates and phone apps to help them. D. Because they walked around a simulated forest environment. 31. What is the main idea of the article? A. The need for finding parking spaces in unfamiliar cities. B. The impact of exploring a new environment on our minds. C. The benefits of playing video games for improving learning tasks. D. The significance of picturing familiar cities for memory enhancement. D Growers are finding new ways to extend the British asparagus (芦笋) season and meet demand for this tasty and healthy crop. Asparagus is believed to have been enjoyed as long ago as the ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman empires. It promotes healthy bacteria in the large intestine (肠) and can help reduce bloating (胀气). A source of vitamins K and C, it also has numerous benefits to the immune system generally. Fans of asparagus will be delighted to know that nowadays there’s more opportunity than ever to get hold of homegrow n product. One of the country’s leading asparagus growers and pioneers of extending the British season is the Chinn family. The family grows Wye Valley-branded asparagus and sells into supermarkets, local restaurants, wholesale markets and processors. The company has been growing asparagus since 2004 and has developed a reputation for innovation, using modern production and packing techniques to lock in the freshness immediately after harvesting. The traditional British asparagus season runs from 23 April to 21 June, but Chris Chinn says by using new varieties and polytunnels to protect the crop, his farm has massively extended that from February to late June. Called “the Usain Bolt of vegetables”, British asparagus can actually grow up to 10cm in a single day. It thrives in free-draining sandy soils, and, as Chris puts it, “does not like wet feet”. That has made the past few months a big challenge for growers with the amount of rain that’s fallen so far this year. In spite of that, this season, the Chinns pushed the envelope once again, harvesting the first commercial volumes for sale in a local Food store in early February — the earliest it’s ever been available. “This especially early crop is the product of innovative methods, and environmental sustainability is a key concern with us using only the sun’s heat, and on-farm compost,” says Chris. “We are absolutely delighted to be first to market with British asparagus once again.” Chris says that with all asparagus spears picked and packed by hand, getting enough seasonal labour onto the farm is a constant headache for growers. There is hope, though, that technology will ultimately be able to help. 32. According to the passage, what can we know about the British asparagus? A. It is a forgiving plant in low-lying areas. B. It grows fast and can’t tolerate light shade. C. It is good for immunity and physical well-being. D. It grows in winter and likes growing in wet fields. 33. What does the underlined phrase “pushed the envelope” most likely mean? A. Boosted the volume. B. Unfolded the letter. C. Reduced the pollution. D. Stretched the boundaries. 34. What might be talked about in the paragraph that follows? A. How to extend the asparagus season. B. The reason for seasonal labor shortage. C. Some technology to solve the labor shortage. D. The constant headache for asparagus growers. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. New Ways to Harvest the Asparagus B. Asparagus, the Usain Bolt of Vegetables C. Innovations to Extend the Asparagus Season D. The Chinns, the Innovator of Growing Asparagus 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Once you get close enough to someone, it’s easy to assume they’ll be a friend for life — but friendships take work, too, and it’s important that you make time to cultivate these relationships as well. ____36____.

I wanted to be just like him. So when Allen asked me to join him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I said yes! After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies and then set off on our adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest by early evening. On the way to our campsite, Allen pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the foresters worked. A jeep stopped beside the small ranger station. Allen told me that our campsite was in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. Only when we made it to our campsite, did I realize that we were really in the middle of nowhere. Somehow I was a bit worried. Luckily, Allen appeared to know all the tricks of an experienced camper. Soon after we gathered enough wood from the forest floor, he started the campfire using only stone and steel, no matches. After a day of travelling, we were very hungry. We ate beef and rice and some soup as well. Exhausted, we crawled into our sleeping bags early. Allen was still talking about his past camping adventures when a sudden wind picked up from the north. The temperature dropped and it began to snow. Allen knew of a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the woods, wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log and then placed it near the campfire. The heat from the fire reflected into the tent. Soon the tent was warm again and thoughts of lake fish filled my dreams. 续写要求：1、续写词数应为150左右;2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: “Wake up! Jim!

This is one of London’s most famous landmarks. Interestingly, Big Ben isn’t the huge clock-face and tower you see in front of you, but in fact it’s the name of the bell inside. It was completed in 1859 and forms a part of the UK’s government buildings. We are now turning onto Tower Bridge which goes over the Thames. The Thames is the river that flows through London. It helped make London one of the biggest and most successful cities in the world through trade. Tower Bridge first opened back in 1894. By then, London had been the capital of England for many years. It was one of the first bridges in the world whose roadway split in two and lifted so that tall ships could sail through underneath. Up until 1976, steam was used to power Tower Bridge, but now it uses oil and electricity. We are now passing the Tower of London, which dates back to 1066. It has been used for many things down the years, and now it guards many of the royal family’s valuable treasures. Our next stop is the London Eye, and then the royal palace! 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Buds (小满), the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 21 this year, and ends on June 5. It means that the seeds from the grain are becoming full but are not ripe. Let’s see what we can do during the “Grain Buds” period. Eating herb of common sow thistle Grain Buds is a season for eating the herb of the common sow thistle, which is one of the earliest edible potherbs in China. It tastes a little bitter, but also sweet. People in Ningxia Hui autonomous region like to eat it mixed with salt, vinegar, peppers or garlic. It tastes delicious and helps people feel refreshed. Some people boil the herb with water and then squeeze out the juice, which can be used to make soup. Key period for flower management This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers. It is also a season when plant diseases and pests are at an all-time high, which makes caring for your garden even more critical. Flowers need a lot of water and extra care to stay healthy. Weeding should be done as they grow quickly and have to be extirpated in order to keep the soil loose and from competing with the flowers for nutrients. Celebrating silkworm deity birthday Silkworm rearing is a traditional byproduct for people in regions south of the Yangtze River. People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces regard this season as the birthday of the silkworm deity. Those who engage in the silk industry thank the deity by offering sacrifices and staging performances. They pray to the deity for blessings and a boom season for the silk business. 21. Which of the following is true about Grain Buds? A. It is seen as the birthday of the flower deity. B. It is an essential period to tend to the garden. C. It means that the seeds from the grain are mature. D. It begins on May 21 this year, and ends on July 5. 22. People in the silk industry tend to ______ during the Grain Buds. A. offer sacrifices to ancestors B. pray for a close season C. learn to count their blessings D. give shows to thank the deity 23. In which column of a newspaper can we read the article? A. Entertainment. B. Economics. C. Politics. D. Culture. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了二十四节气中的小满时节值得我们注意的一些传统和建议。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This time is a good period of the quick growth of flowers. It is also a season when plant diseases and pests are at an all-time high, which makes caring for your garden even more critical.(此时正是鲜花快速生长的好时期，也是植物病虫害高发的季节，因此花园的护理就显得更加重要。)”可知，小满是照料花园的重要时期。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Those who engage in the silk industry thank the deity by offering sacrifices and staging performances. (从事丝绸业人们则以祭祀、表演等方式感谢神灵。)”可知，在小满时期，丝绸行业的人们往往会举办表演来感谢神灵。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Buds(小满), the 8th solar term of a year, begins on May 21 this year, and ends on June 5. It means that the seeds from the grain are becoming full but are not ripe. Let’s see what we can do during the “Grain Buds” period.(中国传统阳历将一年分为二十四个节气。小满是一年中的第八个节气，今年从5月21日开始，到6月5日结束。这意味着谷粒正在饱满但尚未成熟。让我们看看在“小满”期间我们可以做些什么。)”可知，文章介绍了二十四节气中的小满时节，本文可以在报纸的文化栏目看到。故选D。 B Unlike most of her peers who left their rural hometowns, 34-year-old Ning Fenfang left her job in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province in 2017 and worked as a village official in her hometown— a mountainous village in Cili county in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province. Now she farms over 66.7 hectares of land. Seeing much of the farmland had been deserted, Ning resigned from her post in 2020 and became a full-time farmer, renting the farmland and hiring villagers to work it. She founded a centre for housewives in the village to work her farmland during busy hours. “It’s never easy,” said Ning. It is very rare for young people to become farmers in rural areas, as farming is labor-intensive and requires constant work in the mud. What’s more, farming is often seen as a job “unsuitable” for both the post-90s generation and women in general. Her decision to become a farmer confused many of her fellow villagers and farming was much more difficult than she had imagined. She experienced tremendous pain due to the intensive labour. At first, she didn’t farm much through lack of farming knowledge, so she didn’t feel pressured to succeed. Later, she decided to expand the scale and spent millions of yuan. “Most of the money is borrowed from banks, families and relatives, so there is no turning back,” she said. Weighing up the pros and cons, her husband ultimately gave up his business to work with her. She has tried to turn farming into a “trendy” job. Instead of traditional farming methods which rely on human labor, Ning promotes mechanized farming, such as using harvesters, cultivators and drones. She also plans to explore the agricultural tourism resources in Zhangjiajie for children living in urban areas to experience farming. Being elected to the 14th National People’s Congress has motivated Ning to feel responsible for fellow farmers. “NPC deputies from the grassroots need to consider rural farmers’ needs and bring their voices to the two sessions,” Ning said. 24. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Ning facilitated the development of local agriculture. B. Ning was once elected to the 14th National People’s Congress. C. Ning was pessimistic about her work and her future in Hangzhou. D. The locals found her decision to become a farmer realistic at first. 25. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A Ning gradually expanded the scale of her business. B Ning lacked adequate knowledge about agriculture. C. Ning did what it took to invest heavily in her business. D. Ning faced more challenges in farming than she had figured. 26. What sets Ning’s farming apart from traditional farming? A. The expansion of agricultural dimensions. B. The restriction of agricultural implements. C. The employment of agricultural machinery. D. The exploration of agricultural tourism resources. 27. Which of the following can best describe Ning Fenfang? A. Desperate and considerate. B. Humble and dynamic. C. Persevering and innovative. D. Sensitive and aggressive. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了宁芬芳从城市回到农村，成为一名农民的故事，她通过创新的方式改变了农业的传统模式，使农业变得更加现代化。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段 “Seeing much of the farmland had been deserted, Ning resigned from her post in 2020 and became a full-time farmer, renting the farmland and hiring villagers to work it.”（看到许多农田被荒废，宁在2020年辞去职务，成为全职农民，租用农田，雇佣村民来耕种。）”第四段“Instead of traditional farming methods which rely on human labor, Ning promotes mechanized farming, such as using harvesters, cultivators and drones. She also plans to explore the agricultural tourism resources in Zhangjiajie for children living in urban areas to experience farming.”（宁提倡使用收割机、耕耘机和无人机等机械化耕作方式，而不是依靠人力的传统耕作方式。她还计划开发张家界的农业旅游资源，让生活在城市的孩子们体验农业。）可推知，宁芬芳推动了当地农业的发展。故选A。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““It’s never easy,” said Ning. It is very rare for young people to become farmers in rural areas, as farming is labor-intensive and requires constant work in the mud. What’s more, farming is often seen as a job “unsuitable” for both the post-90s generation and women in general.

Weighing up the pros and cons, her husband ultimately gave up his business to work with her.”（“这从来都不容易，”宁说。在农村，年轻人成为农民是非常罕见的，因为农业是劳动密集型的，需要经常在泥泞中工作。更重要的是，务农通常被视为“不适合”90后和一般女性的工作。她要当农民的决定让许多村民感到困惑，务农比她想象的要困难得多。由于高强度的劳动，她经历了巨大的痛苦。起初，由于缺乏农业知识，她不怎么种地，所以她没有感到要成功的压力。后来，她决定扩大规模，花了几百万元。她说:“大部分钱都是从银行、家人和亲戚那里借来的，所以没有回头路。”权衡利弊，她的丈夫最终放弃了自己的生意，和她一起工作。）可知，第三段主要是关于宁在农业上面临的挑战比她想象的要多。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Instead of traditional farming methods which rely on human labor, Ning promotes mechanized farming, such as using harvesters, cultivators and drones.”（宁芬芳提倡机械化农业，如使用收割机、耕种机和无人机，而不是依赖人力的传统农业方法。）可推知，宁芬芳的农业与传统农业的不同之处在于她采用了农业机械。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“It’s never easy,” said Ning.

There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university and the academic work is just the start. There are new friends to meet, new opportunities to choose between, new responsibilities to accept... and, for most students, a completely new city to explore. We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone navigate the maze of corridors that led to her room. Before we left that evening, we’d taken her to the local supermarket, and we knew that she had flatmates and phone apps to get her orientated. But the scale of the challenge ahead was clear — to find her way in an unfamiliar world. The good news for Evie — and learners everywhere is that exploring new habitats is hugely beneficial to memory. In a recent study, volunteers walked around a simulated forest environment. Then some of them took the same walk again, while others explored a different forest. And that second group performed significantly better in memory tests straight after. According to the researchers, that was because navigating the new environment stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺) systems-setting up their brains for learning. So leaving home to study for a degree makes perfect sense. What’s more, young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings. But we may all be able to gain some of the benefits, even if it’s just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here are three things to try: (1) Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task—like memorizing a speech in the library or revising for an exam on a park bench — and take an unfamiliar route to get there. (2) Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes. Then see whether it improves your success with other learning tasks, like practising a dance or mastering phrases for a foreign trip. (3) Get lost in your imagination! To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine you’re stranded in a part of it that you’ve never visited. Then try to fancy exactly how you’ll get out. 28. What happened when they sent their daughter to her school according to Paragraph 3? A. They found a park for all their efforts. B. They were new to the surroundings. C. They got lost in the maze of corridors. D. They had no phone apps to rely on. 29. According to the passage, which is not a good way to boost your brain power? A. Taking an unfamiliar route to go home. B Playing some video games that help you explore new surroundings. C. Getting addicted to playing video games before revising for the exam. D. Imagining yourself getting out of a new city before memorizing a speech. 30. Why did the second group in the study perform better in memory tests? A. Because their dopamine systems were activated. B. Because they entered the same environment twice. C. Because they had flatmates and phone apps to help them. D. Because they walked around a simulated forest environment. 31. What is the main idea of the article? A. The need for finding parking spaces in unfamiliar cities. B. The impact of exploring a new environment on our minds. C. The benefits of playing video games for improving learning tasks. D. The significance of picturing familiar cities for memory enhancement. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了探索未知环境能显著提升脑力，新环境刺激多巴胺系统有助学习，建议通过不同路径学习、玩探索类游戏、想象脱困新城市等方式锻炼大脑。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone navigate the maze of corridors that led to her room.(很难找到停车场，更不用说在通往她房间的迷宫般的走廊里穿行了)”可知，他们对周围环境很不熟悉。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“So leaving home to study for a degree makes perfect sense. What’s more, young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings. But we may all be able to gain some of the benefits, even if it’s just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills.(因此，离开家去攻读学位是完全合理的。更重要的是，年轻人似乎从陌生的环境中获益最多。但我们都可能获得一些好处，即使只是通过刺激我们的感官和挑战我们的思维技能）以及接下来给出的三点建议可知，作者觉得变换学习场景与路线，利用视频游戏探索，想象力冒险都可以提高思维技能。由此可知，在考试复习前沉迷于玩电子游戏并不是一个提升脑力的好方法。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“According to the researchers, that was because navigating the new environment stimulated their dopamine (多巴胺) systems-setting up their brains for learning.(根据研究人员的说法，这是因为在新环境中导航会刺激他们的多巴胺系统，从而建立大脑进行学习)”可知，第二组在记忆测试中表现更好的原因是他们的多巴胺系统被激活了。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“You’ll boost your brainpower if you brave the unknown, says our memory expert, Jonathan Hancock.(我们的记忆专家乔纳森·汉考克说，如果你勇敢面对未知，你会提高你的脑力)”以及全文可知，文章的主旨围绕探索新环境对我们心智的影响展开，特别是如何通过这种方式提升记忆力和学习能力。所以“探索新环境对我们思维的影响。”是文章的主题。故选B。 D Growers are finding new ways to extend the British asparagus (芦笋) season and meet demand for this tasty and healthy crop. Asparagus is believed to have been enjoyed as long ago as the ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman empires. It promotes healthy bacteria in the large intestine (肠) and can help reduce bloating (胀气). A source of vitamins K and C, it also has numerous benefits to the immune system generally. Fans of asparagus will be delighted to know that nowadays there’s more opportunity than ever to get hold of homegrow n product. One of the country’s leading asparagus growers and pioneers of extending the British season is the Chinn family. The family grows Wye Valley-branded asparagus and sells into supermarkets, local restaurants, wholesale markets and processors. The company has been growing asparagus since 2004 and has developed a reputation for innovation, using modern production and packing techniques to lock in the freshness immediately after harvesting. The traditional British asparagus season runs from 23 April to 21 June, but Chris Chinn says by using new varieties and polytunnels to protect the crop, his farm has massively extended that from February to late June. Called “the Usain Bolt of vegetables”, British asparagus can actually grow up to 10cm in a single day. It thrives in free-draining sandy soils, and, as Chris puts it, “does not like wet feet”. That has made the past few months a big challenge for growers with the amount of rain that’s fallen so far this year. In spite of that, this season, the Chinns pushed the envelope once again, harvesting the first commercial volumes for sale in a local Food store in early February — the earliest it’s ever been available. “This especially early crop is the product of innovative methods, and environmental sustainability is a key concern with us using only the sun’s heat, and on-farm compost,” says Chris. “We are absolutely delighted to be first to market with British asparagus once again.” Chris says that with all asparagus spears picked and packed by hand, getting enough seasonal labour onto the farm is a constant headache for growers. There is hope, though, that technology will ultimately be able to help. 32. According to the passage, what can we know about the British asparagus? A. It is a forgiving plant in low-lying areas. B. It grows fast and can’t tolerate light shade. C. It is good for immunity and physical well-being. D. It grows in winter and likes growing in wet fields. 33. What does the underlined phrase “pushed the envelope” most likely mean? A. Boosted the volume. B. Unfolded the letter. C. Reduced the pollution. D. Stretched the boundaries. 34. What might be talked about in the paragraph that follows? A. How to extend the asparagus season. B. The reason for seasonal labor shortage. C. Some technology to solve the labor shortage. D. The constant headache for asparagus growers. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. New Ways to Harvest the Asparagus B. Asparagus, the Usain Bolt of Vegetables C. Innovations to Extend the Asparagus Season D. The Chinns, the Innovator of Growing Asparagus 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了英国芦笋种植者如何通过新品种和创新技术来延长芦笋季节，满足市场需求。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中提到的“Asparagus is believed to have been enjoyed as long ago as the ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman empires. It promotes healthy bacteria in the large intestine and can help reduce bloating. A source of vitamins K and C, it also has numerous benefits to the immune system generally. (芦笋被认为早在古埃及、希腊和罗马帝国时期就被人们享用。它有助于促进大肠中健康细菌的生长，并可以帮助减少胀气。作为维生素K和C的来源，它对整个免疫系统也有众多益处。)”可知芦笋对健康有益，可以促进大肠中的健康细菌，减少胀气，并且是维生素K和C的来源，对免疫系统有多种益处。故选C项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章中提到的“In spite of that, this season, the Chinns pushed the envelope once again, harvesting the first commercial volumes for sale in a local Food store in early February — the earliest it’s ever been available. (尽管如此，这个季节，the Chinns再次pushed the envelope，于2月初在当地食品店收割了首批用于销售的商品量——这是它有史以来最早上市的时间。)”可知，短语“pushed the envelope”最可能意味着“Stretched the boundaries”，即通过创新方法将英国芦笋季节的开始时间提前到了2月份，这是前所未有的，也就是突破了新的边界。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段提到的“Chris says that with all asparagus spears picked and packed by hand, getting enough seasonal labour onto the farm is a constant headache for growers. There is hope, though, that technology will ultimately be able to help. (克里斯表示，由于所有的芦笋尖都是手工采摘和包装，因此为农场招募足够的季节性劳动力对于种植者来说一直是一个持续的难题。不过，有希望的是，技术最终将能够提供帮助。)”可知，接下来的段落可能会讨论一些技术解决方案，以帮助解决种植者面临的劳动力短缺问题。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Growers are finding new ways to extend the British asparagus (芦笋) season and meet demand for this tasty and healthy crop. (种植者正在寻找新的方法来延长英国芦笋的季节，并满足人们对这种美味且健康作物的需求。)”及全文可知，文章主要讲述了英国芦笋种植者通过新品种和创新技术来延长芦笋季节，满足市场需求，因此最佳标题为“Innovations to Extend the Asparagus Season (延长芦笋季节的创新)”。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Once you get close enough to someone, it’s easy to assume they’ll be a friend for life — but friendships take work, too, and it’s important that you make time to cultivate these relationships as well. ____36____. Read on to discover some questions you should ask your close friends. 1. “How do you think we’ve both changed since we became friends?” There’s a good chance that you’ve been friends with those closest to you for some time, which means you’ve both changed in certain ways over the years. Shari, founder of Imperfectly Perfect Life, says it’s important to reflect on that change. “____37____,” she shares. 2. “____38____” “You don’t have to just focus on your own friendship. People vary greatly in what makes them feel most connected to others — for some it’s sharing something exciting together, while for others, it’s doing daily tasks together,” Julia, a clinical psychologist, notes. 3. “What is the best advice you’ve ever received?” Another way you can “gain a deeper understanding of your friend’s values, beliefs, and the lessons they’ve learned along their journey” is by asking them about the best advice they’ve ever received. “This provides an opportunity to share wisdom that has had a significant impact on their personal growth,” Natalie shares. “____39____, fostering mutual understanding within your friendship.” 4.“What are your biggest dreams for your life?” ____40____, if you are truly committed to being friends for life. “Many friendships keep the friends locked in to their current reality,” Moore cautions. “But knowing your friend’s goals can create the space for your friendship to grow.” A. What life experience has shaped you the most? B. Acknowledging your growth can enhance your friendship C. When do you feel most connected to the people in your life? D. It’s also good to acknowledge that even the closest friendships are not perfect E. You should know what your friend actually envisions for themselves in the future F. Additionally, it opens the door for meaningful conversations about life’s challenges G. We’ve talked to different experts to get their best advice on how to create stronger bonds 【答案】36. G 37. B 38. C 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。本文提供了四个问题，通过提出这些深入且意义深远的问题，可以促进与朋友之间更深层次的交流和理解，从而培养出更加坚固和有意义的友谊。 【36题详解】 下文“ Read on to discover some questions you should ask your close friends.”（继续阅读，找出一些你应该问亲密朋友的问题。）所以空白处需要一个过渡句引出下文的专家建议，选项G“We’ve talked to different experts to get their best advice on how to create stronger bonds.”(我们已经与不同的专家进行了交谈，以获得他们关于如何建立更牢固的关系的最佳建议。)符合。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据前文Shari的言论“Shari, founder of Imperfectly Perfect Life, says it’s important to reflect on that change.”（“不完美生活”的创始人沙里说，反思这种变化很重要。）此处应填入关于承认彼此成长对于加深友谊的作用，选项B“Acknowledging your growth can enhance your friendship.”（承认你的成长可以增进你的友谊。）符合。故选B。 【38题详解】 根据下文““You don’t have to just focus on your own friendship. People vary greatly in what makes them feel most connected to others—for some it’s sharing something exciting together, while for others, it’s doing daily tasks together,” Julia, a clinical psychologist, notes.”（临床心理学家Julia指出：“你不必只关注自己的友谊。人们在与他人最有联系的方面差异很大——对一些人来说，这是一起分享一些令人兴奋的事情，而对另一些人来说是一起做日常任务。”）这里是说什么时候与生活中的人联系最紧密，选项C“When do you feel most connected to the people in your life?”（你觉得什么时候和你生活中的人联系最紧密？）与其他并列为其中一个问题，符合。故选C。 【39题详解】 上文“This provides an opportunity to share wisdom that has had a significant impact on their personal growth”（这为他们提供了一个分享对个人成长有重大影响的智慧的机会）说出了询问朋友收到最佳建议的好处，又根据下文“fostering mutual understanding within your friendship.”（在友谊中增进相互理解），缺失的部分应是对这种交流带来的正面效果的描述，选项F“Additionally, it opens the door for meaningful conversations about life’s challenges”（此外，它还为关于生活挑战的有意义的对话打开了大门），承接下文。故选F。 【40题详解】 此处的问题是“What are your biggest dreams for your life?”（你人生最大的梦想是什么？），并在后面“But knowing your friend’s goals can create the space for your friendship to grow.”（但是知道你朋友的目标可以为你们的友谊创造空间。）解释了为什么了解朋友的未来梦想对于维持长久友谊的重要性，E选项“ You should know what your friend actually envisions for themselves in the future”（你应该知道你的朋友对自己未来的实际设想）符合问题的主旨。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When my mom passed away only a few years after we’d lost Dad, the wound of my grief was ____41____ and deep.

I wanted to be just like him. So when Allen asked me to join him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I said yes! After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies and then set off on our adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest by early evening. On the way to our campsite, Allen pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the foresters worked. A jeep stopped beside the small ranger station. Allen told me that our campsite was in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. Only when we made it to our campsite, did I realize that we were really in the middle of nowhere. Somehow I was a bit worried. Luckily, Allen appeared to know all the tricks of an experienced camper. Soon after we gathered enough wood from the forest floor, he started the campfire using only stone and steel, no matches. After a day of travelling, we were very hungry. We ate beef and rice and some soup as well. Exhausted, we crawled into our sleeping bags early. Allen was still talking about his past camping adventures when a sudden wind picked up from the north. The temperature dropped and it began to snow. Allen knew of a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the woods, wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log and then placed it near the campfire. The heat from the fire reflected into the tent. Soon the tent was warm again and thoughts of lake fish filled my dreams. 续写要求：1、续写词数应为150左右;2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: “Wake up! Jim! Our tent is on fire!” Allen awoke me in panic. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: A jeep appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Wake up! Jim! Our tent is on fire!” Allen awoke me in panic. Frightened, I ran out of the tent without any hesitation. The snow had stopped outside, but the wind fanned the flames of the fire towards our tent. The tent collapsed. We checked each other to make sure neither of us was hurt. As we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, both of us had no idea what to do next. Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxious, we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared. A forester spotted the light from the fire and came to have a check. We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents. Allen and I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Allen began to treat me more like a friend rather than a younger cousin. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和堂兄Allen 去明尼苏达州北部的苏必利尔国家森林营地里露营，准备第二天去钓鱼。但是由于夜里刮起了大风，导致帐篷着火了。幸运的是，最后两个人都没有受伤，并由护林人安全护送到安全的地方。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““醒醒！吉姆！我们的帐篷着火了！”艾伦惊慌地叫醒了我。”可知，第一段可描写作者和Allen的帐篷着火了，他们跑出帐篷，作者和Allen当时的处境。 ②由第二段首句内容“一辆吉普车出现了。”可知，第二段可描写有人来搭救，作者和Allen获救以及之后Allen对待作者的态度的转变。 2. 续写线索：帐篷着火——跑出帐篷——在森林里等待——护林员检查——跳进吉普车离开——进行更多的野营——关系加深 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①确保：make sure/ensure ②保持：keep/maintain ③发现：spot/find/discover 情绪类 ①害怕的：frightened/scared/terrified ②焦急的：anxious/worried/concerned 【点睛】[高分句型1]As we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, both of us had no idea what to do next.(as引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents.(where引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
