20. What does the speaker mainly talk about in the end?
A. Clean energy. B. Garbage sorting. C. Waste recycling.
【答案】17. A 18. B 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: Last week, the United Nations released the most complete report ever created on the global problems of food waste. Firstly, it turned out that by far, most food waste, about sixty one percent happened at homes. Restaurant were responsible for about twenty six percent of the food wasted. The rest was thrown away by stores. Secondly, food was wasted at about the same rate in all but the poorest countries. Many people thought rich countries were more likely to waste food, and countries that were less rich that turned out not to be true. In fact, some richer countries wasted far less food than the average. But people in richer countries may waste less food at homes, because they are eating out at restaurants more often. That certainly seems to be the case in the US, which has low waste number for homes but quite high numbers for restaurants. Thirdly, “in some cases, labels might cause food waste”, the report said. People might be throwing away food even though it’s still good to eat simply because the containers best buy or sell by date has passed. In poorer countries, food may be wasted because not all homes have a refrigerator. Finally, the reports said that it’s important for countries to study food ways more carefully in order to figure out ways to solve the problem. Some possible uses for food waste include making food for animals, creating compost to help crops grow, or burning leftovers to create energy. The important thing is to keep food from simply going into the garbage.

If you have time for just one attraction in Singapore, then this should be it.”(滨海湾花园是猫途鹰上最受欢迎的景点,原因不难理解。这个地方令人兴奋,和我们见过的任何地方都不一样。如果你有时间去新加坡的一个景点,那就去这里吧。)滨海花园是最受欢迎的一个景点,由此判断,如果只能选一个地方的话就可以去滨海公园。故选A。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。Singapore Flyer部分提到“The Singapore Flyer is one of the city’s most iconic attractions. It offers fantastic views of the city from Asia’s largest observation wheel.”(新加坡摩天观景轮是这座城市最具标志性的景点之一。从亚洲最大的观景轮上可以看到这座城市的美景。)以及Marina Bay Sands Skypark部分提到“If you aren’t checked in at Marina Bay Sands, then the next best thing would be to head up to the Skypark observation deck on the 57th level to get some of the most breathtaking views of Singapore.”(如果你没有在滨海湾金沙酒店登记入住,那么下一个最好的选择就是前往57层的天空公园观景台,欣赏新加坡最令人叹为观止的景色。)由此判断,这两个景点的共同点就是可以欣赏新加坡的城市美景。故选C。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。第二段提到“You can buy tickets at the gate but you can get a discount if you purchase them in advance through Klook or Get Your Guide.”(你可以在入口处买票,但如果你通过Klook或get Your Guide提前购买,你可以享受折扣。)以及“You can buy tickets to the Singapore Flyer at the gate or in advance through Klook.”(你可以在入口处购买新加坡摩天观景轮的票,也可以通过Klook提前购买。)倒数第二段提到“You can buy tickets at the gate but you may get a discount if you purchase them in advance through Klook.”(您可以在入口处购买门票,但如果通过Klook提前购买,可能会有折扣。)这些景点的门票都可以通过Klook提前购买,由此判断,Klook有可能是一个购票网站。故选A。
B
Herman Rawi from Malaysia uploads TikTok videos of him tasting all kinds of food. But the video of him eating snow on Jan.28 is the only one that comes with a cautionary warning.
Having to battle hot weathers on the equator for most time of the year, almost all of Malaysians love cold dessert. Perhaps this is why Herman tends to lack self-control when he sees snow. During his recent trip to Yamagata, Japan, he filmed himself eating a ball of snow. “A reason — I had terrible fever, cough, runny nose and body aches for eight days,” he wrote in the video’s description.
Herman claimed, “I used to eat snow during the winter when I studied in the UK years ago. I would often go for the freshest snow at an undisturbed place and never fell sick.”
While you may assume snow that’s freshly fallen and collected in an undisturbed area is free of any harmful substances, don’t be so sure. According to meteorologist Mary Scarzello Fairbanks, snow isn’t all that pure. “It’s formed when water-drops freeze around some dust in the air, forming an ice crystal that continues to collect water vapor and form a snowflake. When the snowflake falls, it will also collect things hanging in the air, including dirt and even bacterial particles. If it’s windy, snow could even mix with dirt kicked up from the soil before settling,” he said.
A 2015 study published in the journal Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts even demonstrated how snow could mix with gasoline exhaust 2. This all means that, theoretically, your snow ice cream could have some pretty disgusting “flavorings”.
Eating snow in an emergency is another matter. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns against snow snacking for anyone who is trapped, such as hikers, because it can lower one’s body temperature. In cases where there is a water supply issue, the CDC says it’s safe to take collected snow and boil it to kill some harmful bacteria.
24. Why did Herman Rawi dare to eat snow in Japan?
A. Because his fans encouraged him to do so.
B. Because many Malaysians have done it before.
C. Because the snow in Japan is cleaner than elsewhere.
D. Because he had a lot of experiences eating snow before.
25. What’s Mary Scarzello Fairbanks’ attitude towards eating snow?
A. Casual. B. Doubtful. C. Opposed. D. Appreciative.
26. What can we infer from CDC’s release?
A. In any case you can’t eat snow snacks.
B. Boiling can kill all the bacteria in the snow.
C. It’s acceptable to eat snow directly in an emergency.
D. In some cases you can drink boiled snow water.
27. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To warn the readers against eating snow at will.
B. To share an interesting story with readers.
C. To prove snow is not fit to be consumed by people.
D. To explain why eating Japanese snow can make people sick.
【答案】24 D 25. C 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了来自马来西亚的Herman Rawi在TikTok上分享的一个吃雪的视频附带了警告,建议人们不要随意吃雪。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Herman claimed, “I used to eat snow during the winter when I studied in the UK years ago. I would often go for the freshest snow at an undisturbed place and never fell sick.”(赫尔曼声称:“几年前我在英国留学时,冬天常常吃雪。我经常去一个不受干扰的地方享受新鲜的雪,从来没有生病过。”)”可知,赫尔曼·拉维敢在日本吃雪是因为他以前有很多吃雪的经验。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“According to meteorologist Mary Scarzello Fairbanks, snow isn’t all that pure. “It’s formed when water-drops freeze around some dust in the air, forming an ice crystal that continues to collect water vapor and form a snowflake. When the snowflake falls, it will also collect things hanging in the air, including dirt and even bacterial particles. If it’s windy, snow could even mix with dirt kicked up from the soil before settling,” he said.( 根据气象学家Mary Scarzello Fairbanks的说法,雪并不是那么纯净。“它是当水滴在空气中的一些灰尘周围冻结时形成的,形成冰晶,继续收集水蒸气并形成雪花。当雪花落下时,它也会收集空气中悬挂的东西,包括污垢甚至细菌颗粒。如果刮风的话,雪在沉降之前甚至会和泥土混在一起。”)”可推知,Mary Scarzello Fairbanks对于吃雪的态度是反对的。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In cases where there is a water supply issue, the CDC says it’s safe to take collected snow and boil it to kill some harmful bacteria.(美国疾病控制与预防中心表示,在供水出现问题的情况下,将收集的雪煮沸以杀死一些有害细菌是安全的)”可知,我们能从疾控中心的发布中推断出在某些情况下,你可以喝煮沸的雪水。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But the video of him eating snow on Jan.28 is the only one that comes with a cautionary warning.(但他在1月28日吃雪的视频是唯一一个带有警告的视频)”可推知,这篇文章的写作目的是警告读者不要随意吃雪。故选A。
C
Museums have been around for centuries, with the first known museum founded in the 3rd century BC. For a long time, they were used to showcase traditional artworks like paintings, sculptures and drawings.
In recent times, however, digital art has started to gain popularity as an art form. This has raised the question of whether or not museums should accept digital art into their collections.
Digital art can be defined as an artwork created using digital technology and tools like computers, tablets and smartphones. It includes a variety of mediums such as animation, 3D modelling, virtual reality and video game design. Digital art is increasingly being used by artists to create unique pieces that are unlike anything else seen before.
The debate over whether museums should accept digital art into their collections has been ongoing for some time. On one hand, many believe that digital art is not “real” art and does not deserve to be given the same recognition as traditional artworks. On the other hand, supporters of digital art hold the view that museums should embrace this new form of expression and give it the same respect as any other type of artworks.
The truth is that many museums have already begun to accept digital art into their collections. In fact, some museums have even dedicated entire exhibitions to showcasing digital artworks from around the world. This shows that there is a growing appreciation for this type of expression and that it is slowly becoming more accepted by mainstream audiences.
In general, while there may still be some debate over whether or not digital art deserves to be accepted into museum collections, it is clear that many museums are beginning to welcome this new form of expression. As more people realize the digital art and its potential as an artistic medium, it will likely become even more popular in years to come.
28. What do we know about the digital art from the first three paragraphs?
A. It dates back to the 3rd century BC.
B. Its uniqueness leads to its high market value.
C. Its creation cannot be separated from digital technology.
D. It should be placed in museums according to most people.
29. What does the underlined word “embrace” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. increase. B. describe. C. refuse. D. accept.
30. What is the current situation of the digital art?
A. It is getting more and more recognition.
B. It has been accepted by the mainstream audiences.
C. Most museums have accepted it as their collection.
D. This kind of exhibition can be seen all over the world.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of the digital art?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Worried. D. Casual.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述的是数字艺术是一种新兴的艺术形式,它将科技与艺术融为一体,通过数字媒体创作和展示艺术作品。近些年随着数字技术的崛起,关于“博物馆是否应该收藏数字艺术作品” 的话题被大家广泛讨论。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Digital art can be defined as an artwork created using digital technology and tools like computers, tablets and smartphones. (数字艺术可以定义为使用计算机、平板电脑和智能手机等数字技术和工具创作的艺术品。)”可知,数字艺术可以定义为使用计算机、平板电脑和智能手机等数字技术和数字工具创作的艺术品。因此,数字艺术的创作离不开数字技术和数字工具。故选C。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句上文“On one hand, many believe that digital art is not “real” art and does not deserve to be given the same recognition as traditional artworks.(一方面,许多人认为数字艺术不是“真正的”艺术,不应该得到与传统艺术同样的认可)”可知,一方面人们认为数字艺术不是真正的艺术,不应该被认可;同时根据划线词所在的句子“On the other hand, supporters of digital art hold the view that museums should embrace this new form of expression and give it the same respect as any other type of artworks.(另一方面,数字艺术的支持者持这样的观点:博物馆应该embrace这种新的表现形式,并给予它与任何其他类型的艺术品同样的尊重。)”可知,从另一方面来说数字艺术的支持者认为数字艺术应该被认可,被接受。故划线词表示“接受, 欢迎”,与D选项“accept(接受,认可)”意思一致。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The truth is that many museums have already begun to accept digital art into their collections. In fact, some museums have even dedicated entire exhibitions to showcasing digital artworks from around the world. This shows that there is a growing appreciation for this type of expression and that it is slowly becoming more accepted by mainstream audiences.(事实上,许多博物馆已经开始接受数字艺术的收藏。事实上,一些博物馆甚至专门举办了整个展览来展示来自世界各地的数字艺术品。这表明人们越来越欣赏这种表达方式,并逐渐被主流观众所接受。)”可知,许多博物馆已经开始接受数字艺术的收藏,人们越来越欣赏这种表达方式,数字艺术正逐渐被主流观众所接受。也就是说,数字艺术目前正在获得越来越多的认可。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As more people realize the digital art and its potential as an artistic medium, it will likely become even more popular in years to come.(随着越来越多的人意识到数字艺术及其作为艺术媒介的潜力,它可能会在未来几年变得更加流行。)”可知,作者对数字艺术的未来持乐观态度。故选B。
D
When it comes to thriving under pressure, microbes (微生物) have us solidly beat. New research reveals that Carno-bacterium, a genus often associated with spoiled meat, can successfully divide and reproduce across an enormous range of external pressures — from the equivalent of a very thin atmosphere to crushing ocean depths. This adaptability is unknown for any other life-forms on Earth, researchers report in Astrobiology. Such hardiness suggests a single organism could survive in totally different environments throughout the solar system.
Based on previous findings of various Carno-bacterium strains (菌群) growing well at high and low pressures, University of Florida microbiologist Wayne Nicholson and his colleagues systematically examined 14 strains’ responses to a wide span of pressure conditions. The team focused on strains isolated not only from meat (including seafood, chicken, etc.) but also from Siberian permafrost, an Antarctic lake and deep within the North Pacific’s Aleutian Trench.
In the laboratory, Nicholson and his team exposed each strain to pressures ranging from 0.01 to 100 times Earth’s atmospheric pressure at sea level―corresponding to the pressures on the surface of Mars and inside the liquid water ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa, respectively. The researchers found that 11 strains grew measurably at every pressure tested. Very few past studies focused on how well microbes tolerate a range of pressures, Nicholson says, but these results are nonetheless surprising given that most other organisms seem to be far more pressure-sensitive. “Humans have trouble breathing on Mount Everest,” he notes, “and that’s about 30 percent of sea-level atmospheric pressure.“
Other bacteria have been shown to do well at comparably high pressures, says Felipe Gómez Gómez, an astrobiologist at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology in Madrid, who was not involved in the study. But these results are novel because they show that the same Carno-bacterium strains can endure so much pressure variation, he says: “What’s really challenging is the whole range.” These microbes’ ability means they could, for instance, theoretically survive at various depths in an alien ocean, Gómez Gómez adds.“ This has far-reaching astro-biological implications.”
32. How did Wayne Nicholson and his colleagues carry out their research?
A. Doing a survey. B. Listing examples.
C. Making a model. D. Doing tests.
33. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. The results were not surprising at all.
B Researchers found that many strains could change during pressures.
C. Researchers hardly knew the organism’s toleration on pressure in old days.
D. The research showed why man can’t take a breath smoothly on Mount Everest.
34. What’s Felipe Gómez Gómez’s attitude towards the research?
A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Bacteria Can Survive at Different Depths.
B. Microbes Withstand the Solar System’s Pressure.
C. All Life-forms’ Adaptations in Pressure Are Proved.
D. Carno-bacterium Strains Have Thrived at Great Pressures.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文的体裁是说明文,文章介绍了一种名为Carno-bacterium的微生物可以在极其广泛的外部压力下成功分裂和繁殖,这种适应性在地球上的其他生物中是未知的。研究人员在《天体生物学》杂志上报告说,这种坚韧性表明单个生物体可以在太阳系的不同环境中生存。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Based on previous findings of various Carno-bacterium strains (菌群) growing well at high and low pressures, University of Florida microbiologist Wayne Nicholson and his colleagues systematically examined 14 strains’ responses to a wide span of pressure conditions.(佛罗里达大学的微生物学家 Wayne Nicholson 和他的同事们基于先前对各种在高、低压力下生长良好的肉杆菌菌株的研究发现,系统地检查了 14 种菌株对广泛压力条件的反应。)”可知,Wayne Nicholson 和他的同事通过测试压力条件下细菌的反应来进行他们的研究。选项 D 与文意相符,故选 D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Very few past studies focused on how well microbes tolerate a range of pressures, Nicholson says, but these results are nonetheless surprising given that most other organisms seem to be far more pressure-sensitive.(尼科尔森说,过去很少有研究关注微生物对一系列压力的耐受性,但考虑到大多数其他生物似乎对压力更为敏感,这些结果仍然令人惊讶。)”可知,过去很少有研究关注微生物对压力的耐受性,所以研究人员对微生物对压力的耐受性知之甚少。选项 C 与文意相符,故选 C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Other bacteria have been shown to do well at comparably high pressures, says Felipe Gómez Gómez, an astrobiologist at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology in Madrid, who was not involved in the study. But these results are novel because they show that the same Carno-bacterium strains can endure so much pressure variation, he says: “What’s really challenging is the whole range.” These microbes’ ability means they could, for instance, theoretically survive at various depths in an alien ocean, Gómez Gómez adds. “This has far-reaching astrobiological implications.”(马德里国家航空航天技术研究所的天体生物学家 Felipe Gómez Gómez 说,其他细菌已经被证明在相当高的压力下表现良好,他没有参与这项研究。但这些结果是新颖的,因为它们表明,相同的肉杆菌菌株可以承受如此大的压力变化,他说:“真正具有挑战性的是整个范围。”这些微生物的能力意味着它们理论上可以在外星海洋的不同深度生存,Gómez Gómez 补充说。“这具有深远的天体生物学意义。”)”中的“novel”及“challenging”等词可知,Felipe Gómez Gómez 对这项研究持积极的态度。选项 B 与文意相符,故选 B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“New research reveals that Carno-bacterium, a genus often associated with spoiled meat, can successfully divide and reproduce across an enormous range of external pressures——from the equivalent of a very thin atmosphere to crushing ocean depths. This adaptability is unknown for any other life-forms on Earth, researchers report in Astrobiology.(新的研究表明,通常与腐肉有关的肉杆菌属可以在巨大的外部压力下成功分裂和繁殖——从相当于非常薄的大气层到 crushing ocean depths。研究人员在《天体生物学》杂志上报告说,这种适应性在地球上的任何其他生命形式中都是未知的。)”及最后一段“These microbes’ ability means they could, for instance, theoretically survive at various depths in an alien ocean, Gómez Gómez adds. “This has far-reaching astrobiological implications.”(这些微生物的能力意味着它们理论上可以在外星海洋的不同深度生存,Gómez Gómez 补充说。“这具有深远的天体生物学意义。”)”及全文可知,文章主要讲述了肉杆菌属可以在巨大的外部压力下成功分裂和繁殖,这种适应性在地球上的任何其他生命形式中都是未知的。选项 B 与文意相符,故选 B。

“Article 20” is a blockbuster in this Spring Festival. At the beginning of the film, there is a plot of bullying on campus. In the bathroom of a middle school, several boys pushed a thin boy to the ground, took off his clothes and beat and scolded him and took pictures.
It is never easy to cope with all the unwanted bullying even when you have done nothing wrong. ____36____ There are some solutions that you have to keep in mind when it comes to bullying.
Ask Them To Stop
Asking the bully to stop is sometimes an effective measure to deal with them. Sometimes when we do not speak up for ourselves, the bullies continue with their behavior thinking of us as easy targets. In this thought, they assume that we will never speak up to them. ____37____ Telling them to stop in a firm and confident voice can make them reconsider their actions.
Be Accompanied
Bullies usually hunt for people who are alone or have isolated themselves from their surroundings. If you are with your friends, or if you are in the company of someone, it is least likely that the bully will disturb you. ____38____ Sometimes, all it takes is one loyal friend who will stay by you no matter what.
Ignore Them
____39____ When you do not react to what they say or do no matter how hurtful it may be for you, they start to lose interest in you. They think of it as a game, and when they get an emotional response from you it satisfies themselves.
Turn The Situation Into A Joke
Some of us are born comedians and we can turn almost anything into a joke. If you are one of these people, try to take advantage of your gift. Turn the situation the bully has created into a joke or just say something funny. ____40____
A. But we are not asking you to make a huge circle of friends.
B. When we do defend for ourselves, it takes them by surprise.
C. Another effective measure to stop a bully is by ignoring them.
D. This will break the bully’s confidence and make them back-off.
E. But doing nothing in return will only result in more intense bullying.
F. It is important to bear in mind that you are trying to stop the situation.
G. Besides, your parents, your friends or even strangers who come with you can protect you from bullying.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了中国龙与西方龙的区别,强调中国文化中龙象征权力、卓越和好运,而西方文化中的龙常代表邪恶。两种观念的差异源自不同的文化价值观。关键在于全球应欣赏中国象征如龙所蕴含的文化价值,而非纠结名称翻译。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这是一个在中国一直存在争议的问题,因为有人说这两者在中国和西方神话中是有区别的。此处泛指“一个问题”,且subject以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:他们说,龙通常被视为混沌的象征,在西方神话和文学中被描述为敌人。本空用副词typically“通常”,修饰动词seen,作状语。故填typically。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们说,龙通常被视为混沌的象征,在西方神话和文学中被描述为敌人。本句谓语为are seen as,此处为非谓语动词,且describe“描述”与逻辑主语Dragons构成被动关系,用过去分词,作后置定语,修饰Dragons。故填described。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:在中国文化中,龙被视为权力、卓越和好运的象征。本空用excellence“卓越”,与power和good luck并列,作介词of的宾语。故填excellence。
【60题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:几千年以来,龙一直是中国文化中的一个中心概念,其起源可以追溯到中国早期文明的神话和宗教信仰。根据时间状语for thousands of years可知,本句使用现在完成时,主语The Loong是第三人称单数,因此助动词用has。故填has been。
【61题详解】
考查原因状语从句。句意:由于龙被认为可以控制雨水和水等自然现象,并与土地的生产力有关,龙成为力量和好运的象征。本空用since/because/as“因为”,引导原因状语从句,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Since/Because/As。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:由于龙被认为可以控制雨水和水等自然现象,并与土地的生产力有关,龙成为力量和好运的象征。be believed to do sth.“被认为做某事”。本句谓语为were believed ,此处为非谓语动词,本空用have“有”的不定式。故填to have。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:中西方神话生物信仰的差异源于文化价值的不同。本空用介词in,表示“在……方面”。故填in。
【64题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:中国和西方对这种神话生物信仰的差异根植于他们的不同文化价值观中。本句陈述事实,用一般现在时,主语differences与动词root“(使)生根”构成被动关系,因此使用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用are。故填are rooted。
【65题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:重要的是,随着我们进入一个新的农历年,全球人民都能欣赏到龙这样的中国象征所体现的文化价值。本空引导表语从句,从句不缺少任何成分,也不缺少含义,用that引导。故填that。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
My dad was more than a father to me; he was my friend and confidant (知己) and one of the most amazing people in my life. So when he passed away suddenly from a stroke at the age of 51, my world fell apart. I was lost, along with my mother who had been with my father since age 16, two brothers, and everyone who knew him. We were thrown into a thick fog of anger, sadness, and shock.
I cried every night and tried to hold onto all my memories of him. I replayed every moment I could remember — writing down thoughts, printing out old e-mails, reading old birthday cards — anything I could hang on to because I didn’t want to forget. As I was going through all these old memories, I began to wonder about all the things I had missed. My dad was a quiet man who was known for his listening skills, his patience, his humor, and his smile. He was often the one listening instead of telling stories. I wanted to know what stories I had missed by losing him so soon. So I decided to compile (编纂) a memory book as a surprise Christmas gift for my mom and brothers.
I started my project in November, contacting everyone I knew who was close to my dad or had been in the past. I sent e-mails and letters asking for friends and family of Gary Force to send me their thoughts and memories of him. I asked them specifically to share funny stories about my dad and the stories that maybe no one had ever heard or had long forgotten. I told them to respond no later than one week before Christmas. I waited and waited and got very few responses by December. I began to wonder if this was a horrible idea or if anyone even cared.
注意: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。
And then the responses started pouring in.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I gave it to my family as the last gift on Christmas Day.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 And then the responses started pouring in. About one week before Christmas, I began to receive handwritten letters, old photographs, and e-mails by the dozens. Almost all the stories and memories were new to me. They were stories about my dad playing poker until 4 a.m. in high school, about pranks he pulled with his college roommates, about his first job after college, about how he met my mom and their life together, and stories involving his love for his family and friends. Every story was a precious gift.
I gave it to my family as the last gift on Christmas Day. My mom was speechless, bawling her eyes out while looking at the thickness of the book. My brothers just stood up and hugged me without saying a word. My mom and brothers were both moved beyond words and it took them hours to go through the book. This book was more than just a book of memories. It was a healing process. I felt happier knowing that he had led a great life and touched so many people. I am so proud to have him as my father. Now whenever I am sad or missing him, I pick up the book. I know that he is looking down, reading it too, and hopefully laughing and smiling along with me.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者父亲的去世对家庭带来的巨大冲击。作者因为无法忘记父亲,决定整理父亲生前的记忆,并编纂成一本记忆册作为圣诞礼物送给母亲和兄弟。然而,在联系父亲的朋友和家人收集回忆的过程中,作者收到的回应并不多,这让作者开始怀疑自己的决定是否明智,以及是否有人真正关心这件事。

Gardens by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay is the most popular attraction on TripAdvisor and it isn’t hard to understand why. This place is mind-blowing and unlike anything we’ve ever seen. If you have time for just one attraction in Singapore, then this should be it.
You can buy tickets at the gate but you can get a discount if you purchase them in advance through Klook or Get Your Guide.
Admission: SGD 30 (adults) SGD 18 (kids)
Singapore Flyer
The Singapore Flyer is one of the city’s most iconic attractions. It offers fantastic views of the city from Asia’s largest observation wheel.
You can go on a standard flight but if you want something a little more memorable, then how about going on one that offers drinks like Singapore Slings or champagne?
You can buy tickets to the Singapore Flyer at the gate or in advance through Klook.
Cost: SGD 40 (adults), SGD 25 (kids)
Singapore Botanic Gardens
Gardens by the Bay is a fantastic place to appreciate Singapore’s greenery, but if you want to enjoy it in a more natural setting, then head on over to Singapore Botanic Gardens. It’s a 158-year-old tropical garden and the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Singapore.
Entrance to the gardens is free but you’ll need to pay SGD 15 fee to enter the National Orchid Garden. It’s a must so don’t miss it.
Admission: FREE
Marina Bay Sands Skypark
Marina Bay Sands is the most iconic hotel in Singapore. I’m sure you’ve seen pictures of its infinity pool on social media.
If you aren’t checked in at Marina Bay Sands, then the next best thing would be to head up to the Skypark observation deck on the 57th level to get some of the most breathtaking views of Singapore.
You can buy tickets at the gate but you may get a discount if you purchase them in advance through Klook.
Admission: SGD 26

Herman Rawi from Malaysia uploads TikTok videos of him tasting all kinds of food. But the video of him eating snow on Jan.28 is the only one that comes with a cautionary warning.
Having to battle hot weathers on the equator for most time of the year, almost all of Malaysians love cold dessert. Perhaps this is why Herman tends to lack self-control when he sees snow. During his recent trip to Yamagata, Japan, he filmed himself eating a ball of snow. “A reason — I had terrible fever, cough, runny nose and body aches for eight days,” he wrote in the video’s description.
Herman claimed, “I used to eat snow during the winter when I studied in the UK years ago. I would often go for the freshest snow at an undisturbed place and never fell sick.”
While you may assume snow that’s freshly fallen and collected in an undisturbed area is free of any harmful substances don’t be so sure. According to meteorologist Mary Scarzello Fairbanks, snow isn’t all that pure. “It’s formed when water-drops freeze around some dust in the air, forming an ice crystal that continues to collect water vapor and form a snowflake. When the snowflake falls, it will also collect things hanging in the air, including dirt and even bacterial particles. If it’s windy, snow could even mix with dirt kicked up from the soil before settling,” he said.
A 2015 study published in the journal Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts even demonstrated how snow could mix with gasoline exhaust 2. This all means that, theoretically, your snow ice cream could have some pretty disgusting “flavorings”.
Eating snow in an emergency is another matter. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns against snow snacking for anyone who is trapped, such as hikers, because it can lower one’s body temperature. In cases where there is a water supply issue, the CDC says it’s safe to take collected snow and boil it to kill some harmful bacteria.
24. Why did Herman Rawi dare to eat snow in Japan?
A. Because his fans encouraged him to do so.
B. Because many Malaysians have done it before.
C. Because the snow in Japan is cleaner than elsewhere.
D. Because he had a lot of experiences eating snow before.
25. What’s Mary Scarzello Fairbanks’ attitude towards eating snow?
A. Casual. B. Doubtful. C. Opposed. D. Appreciative.
26. What can we infer from CDC’s release?
A. In any case you can’t eat snow snacks.
B. Boiling can kill all the bacteria in the snow.
C. It’s acceptable to eat snow directly in an emergency.
D. In some cases you can drink boiled snow water.
27. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To warn the readers against eating snow at will.
B. To share an interesting story with readers.
C. To prove snow is not fit to be consumed by people.
D. To explain why eating Japanese snow can make people sick.
C
Museums have been around for centuries, with the first known museum founded in the 3rd century BC. For a long time, they were used to showcase traditional artworks like paintings, sculptures and drawings.
In recent times, however, digital art has started to gain popularity as an art form. This has raised the question of whether or not museums should accept digital art into their collections.
Digital art can be defined as an artwork created using digital technology and tools like computers, tablets and smartphones. It includes a variety of mediums such as animation, 3D modelling, virtual reality and video game design. Digital art is increasingly being used by artists to create unique pieces that are unlike anything else seen before.
The debate over whether museums should accept digital art into their collections has been ongoing for some time. On one hand, many believe that digital art is not “real” art and does not deserve to be given the same recognition as traditional artworks. On the other hand, supporters of digital art hold the view that museums should embrace this new form of expression and give it the same respect as any other type of artworks.
The truth is that many museums have already begun to accept digital art into their collections. In fact, some museums have even dedicated entire exhibitions to showcasing digital artworks from around the world. This shows that there is a growing appreciation for this type of expression and that it is slowly becoming more accepted by mainstream audiences.
In general, while there may still be some debate over whether or not digital art deserves to be accepted into museum collections, it is clear that many museums are beginning to welcome this new form of expression. As more people realize the digital art and its potential as an artistic medium, it will likely become even more popular in years to come.
28. What do we know about the digital art from the first three paragraphs?
A. It dates back to the 3rd century BC.
B. Its uniqueness leads to its high market value.
C. Its creation cannot be separated from digital technology.
D. It should be placed in museums according to most people.
29. What does the underlined word “embrace” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. increase. B. describe. C. refuse. D. accept.
30. What is the current situation of the digital art?
A. It is getting more and more recognition.
B. It has been accepted by the mainstream audiences.
C. Most museums have accepted it as their collection.
D. This kind of exhibition can be seen all over the world.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of the digital art?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Worried. D. Casual.
D
When it comes to thriving under pressure, microbes (微生物) have us solidly beat. New research reveals that Carno-bacterium, a genus often associated with spoiled meat, can successfully divide and reproduce across an enormous range of external pressures — from the equivalent of a very thin atmosphere to crushing ocean depths. This adaptability is unknown for any other life-forms on Earth, researchers report in Astrobiology. Such hardiness suggests a single organism could survive in totally different environments throughout the solar system.
Based on previous findings of various Carno-bacterium strains (菌群) growing well at high and low pressures, University of Florida microbiologist Wayne Nicholson and his colleagues systematically examined 14 strains’ responses to a wide span of pressure conditions. The team focused on strains isolated not only from meat (including seafood, chicken, etc.) but also from Siberian permafrost, an Antarctic lake and deep within the North Pacific’s Aleutian Trench.
In the laboratory, Nicholson and his team exposed each strain to pressures ranging from 0.01 to 100 times Earth’s atmospheric pressure at sea level―corresponding to the pressures on the surface of Mars and inside the liquid water ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa, respectively. The researchers found that 11 strains grew measurably at every pressure tested. Very few past studies focused on how well microbes tolerate a range of pressures, Nicholson says, but these results are nonetheless surprising given that most other organisms seem to be far more pressure-sensitive. “Humans have trouble breathing on Mount Everest,” he notes, “and that’s about 30 percent of sea-level atmospheric pressure.“
Other bacteria have been shown to do well at comparably high pressures, says Felipe Gómez Gómez, an astrobiologist at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology in Madrid, who was not involved in the study. But these results are novel because they show that the same Carno-bacterium strains can endure so much pressure variation, he says: “What’s really challenging is the whole range.” These microbes’ ability means they could, for instance, theoretically survive at various depths in an alien ocean, Gómez Gómez adds.“ This has far-reaching astro-biological implications.”
32. How did Wayne Nicholson and his colleagues carry out their research?
A. Doing a survey. B. Listing examples.
C. Making a model. D. Doing tests.
33. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. The results were not surprising at all.
B. Researchers found that many strains could change during pressures.
C. Researchers hardly knew the organism’s toleration on pressure in old days.
D. The research showed why man can’t take a breath smoothly on Mount Everest.
34. What’s Felipe Gómez Gómez’s attitude towards the research?
A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Bacteria Can Survive at Different Depths.
B. Microbes Withstand the Solar System’s Pressure.
C. All Life-forms’ Adaptations in Pressure Are Proved.
D. Carno-bacterium Strains Have Thrived at Great Pressures.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
My dad was more than a father to me; he was my friend and confidant (知己) and one of the most amazing people in my life. So when he passed away suddenly from a stroke at the age of 51, my world fell apart. I was lost, along with my mother who had been with my father since age 16, two brothers, and everyone who knew him. We were thrown into a thick fog of anger, sadness, and shock.
I cried every night and tried to hold onto all my memories of him. I replayed every moment I could remember — writing down thoughts, printing out old e-mails, reading old birthday cards — anything I could hang on to because I didn’t want to forget. As I was going through all these old memories, I began to wonder about all the things I had missed. My dad was a quiet man who was known for his listening skills, his patience, his humor, and his smile. He was often the one listening instead of telling stories. I wanted to know what stories I had missed by losing him so soon. So I decided to compile (编纂) a memory book as a surprise Christmas gift for my mom and brothers.
I started my project in November, contacting everyone I knew who was close to my dad or had been in the past. I sent e-mails and letters asking for friends and family of Gary Force to send me their thoughts and memories of him. I asked them specifically to share funny stories about my dad and the stories that maybe no one had ever heard or had long forgotten. I told them to respond no later than one week before Christmas. I waited and waited and got very few responses by December. I began to wonder if this was a horrible idea or if anyone even cared.
注意: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。
And then the responses started pouring in.

I gave it to my family as the last gift on Christmas Day.
