Mack’s journey around the world lasted five months and he flew across 52 countries in total. His record-breaking flight began in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 23 March, 2022. He was 16 years old when he took off and celebrated his 17th birthday by himself in his plane. Mack faced many challenges during his adventure. Because of his small-sized aircraft, he had to land whenever the weather got too rough. However, at some points he literally (确实地) couldn’t land, such as when flying non-stop for 10 hours over an ocean. At other points, he faced extremely hot weather, such as in Dubai. In Sudan, a country in Africa, Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going. Mack battled strong winds and pouring rain during his flight, but he never stopped smiling, joking and updating his flowers on his social media account along the way, and managed to expertly pilot his plane to safety. And if Mack’s surname “Rutherford” sounds familiar, it’s because his elder sister Zara also flew around the world earlier this year, and still holds the female version of the record! The Rutherford siblings (兄弟姐妹) were inspired by their parents to become pilots. “I have known for certain I wanted to fly since I was eleven,” Mack said, “My dad Sam is a professional ferry pilot, my mum Beatrice is a recreational private pilot.” Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals, “No matter what background you have, I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and you shouldn’t limit yourself by others’ expectations.” With both feet firmly back on the ground now, it’s time for Mack to turn his attention towards catching up on his schoolwork! 4. What can we know about Mack’s flight? A. It began when he was 17 years 64 days old. B. It made him the youngest person to fly alone. C. It was a successful record-breaking attempt. D. It took off in the capital of his home country. 5. What challenges did Mack face? A. Limitation of flight hours. B. Darkness and safety issues. C. Loneliness of flying alone. D. Bad weather and long distance. 6. Why did Mack and his sister want to be pilots? A. To model themselves on their parents. B. To encourage each other to dream big. C. To serve as examples for their siblings. D. To live up to their parents’ expectations. 7. What does Mack hope to do with his attempt? A. To encourage young people to become pilots. B. To inspire young people to fight for their dreams. C. To warn young people of the dangers of flying. D. To free young people of worries about school work. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述意为17岁的飞行员创造了独自环球飞行的记录，这足以说明其勇气和技艺。他的事迹值得其他追寻自己梦想的孩子学习。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“His record-breaking flight began in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 23 March, 2022.(他的破纪录飞行于2022年3月23日在保加利亚首都索非亚开始)”可知，Mack的飞行是一个成功的破纪录的尝试。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Mack faced many challenges during his adventure. Because of his small-sized aircraft, he had to land whenever the weather got too rough. However, at some points he literally (确实地) couldn’t land, such as when flying non-stop for 10 hours over an ocean. At other points, he faced extremely hot weather, such as in Dubai. In Sudan, a country in Africa, Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going. Mack battled strong winds and pouring rain during his flight(麦克在冒险过程中遇到了许多挑战。由于他的飞机很小，每当天气太恶劣时，他就不得不降落。然而，在某些时候，他真的无法降落，比如在海洋上空连续飞行10个小时。在其他地方，他还遇到了极端炎热的天气，比如在迪拜。在非洲的苏丹，麦克还遇到了沙尘暴，这让他很难看清自己要去的地方。麦克在飞行过程中与强风和倾盆大雨作斗争)”可知，Mack在飞行中要面对的挑战是糟糕的天气和长距离飞行。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The Rutherford siblings (兄弟姐妹) were inspired by their parents to become pilots. (卢瑟福兄弟姐妹受到父母的启发成为飞行员)”可推知，Mack和他的兄弟姐妹想成为飞行员是因为父母是他们的榜样。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals, “No matter what background you have, I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and you shouldn’t limit yourself by others’ expectations.”(麦克希望激励年轻人开始为自己的目标而努力，“无论你有什么背景，我相信为自己的梦想而努力永远不会太早，你不应该被别人的期望所限制。”)”可知，Mack想通过自己的尝试来鼓励年轻人追他们的梦想，并为之努力奋斗。故选B。 C It’s time to put down the phone and look away from Instagram (一款照片分享应用程序): Researchers found that people who look at pictures of food are less likely to enjoy the next meal they eat. Ryan Elder and Jeff Larson of Brigham Young University asked 232 people to look at photos of food and rate them. The researchers divided the participants into two groups-one group looked at 60 photos of desserts, while the other examined 60 photos of sally foods. Participants (参加者) ranked each photo based on how attractive the food looked. Afterward both groups enjoyed a snack of salted peanuts. The group that looked at pictures of salty foods liked the peanuts less than the group who looked at desserts, even though no one saw photos of peanuts. “If you want to enjoy your meal, avoid looking at too many pictures of food,” Larson said. “Even I felt a little sick to my stomach during the study after looking at all the sweet pictures we had.” The researchers believe that food doesn’t taste as good after viewing all those photos because looking at many photos makes people feel as if they have already experienced the sensation (感觉) of eating. Whatever someone eats after looking at photos doesn’t seem as good as what she saw. “In a way, you’re becoming tired of that taste without even eating the food,” said Elder. “It’s sensory boredom-you’ve kind of moved on. You don’t want that taste experience anymore.” But there is some good news: People need to look at a lot of food photos to experience sensory boredom. So if you want to enjoy your next brunch, play it safe and stay away from your foodie friend’s photo albums. 8. What did the researchers do in the experiment? A. They showed peanut pictures to participants. B. They chose 232 participants who enjoy eating. C. They reminded participants to avoid sweet food. D. They asked participants to eat some salted peanuts. 9. What happened to the participants in the salty group? A. They were afraid of rating food pictures. B. They found salted peanuts less enjoyable. C. They enjoyed their meals a lot more. D. They compared their food with others’. 10. which of the following shows “sensory boredom”? A. You lose your sense of taste when you feel extremely tired. B. You are bored with your meal after taking pictures of food. C. You find food less delicious after seeing many food pictures. D. You eat more than before when the food tastes delicious. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. How we can stay away from Instagram. B. What causes people to enjoy salty foods. C. Why Instagram is reducing your appetite. D. Which food tastes less delicious. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究人员发现，盯着食物照片的人不太可能享受他们吃的下一餐并解释了Instagram影响人们食欲的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Afterward both groups enjoyed a snack of salted peanuts.(之后，两组人都享用了咸花生点心。)”可知，研究者要求参与者吃一些咸花生。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The group that looked at pictures of salty foods liked the peanuts less than the group who looked at desserts, even though no one saw photos of peanuts.(看咸食物图片的那组人比看甜点的那组人更不喜欢花生，尽管没有人看到花生的照片。)”可知，他们觉得咸花生不那么美味。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The researchers believe that food doesn’t taste as good after viewing all those photos because looking at many photos makes people feel as if they have already experienced the sensation (感觉) of eating. Whatever someone eats after looking at photos doesn’t seem as good as what she saw.(研究人员认为，看了这么多照片后，食物的味道就没那么好了，因为看了这么多照片会让人感觉好像已经体验过进食的感觉了。人们看完照片后吃的东西似乎没有她看到的那么好。)”和文章第五段““In a way, you’re becoming tired of that taste without even eating the food,” said Elder. “It’s sensory boredom-you’ve kind of moved on. You don’t want that taste experience anymore.”(埃尔德说：“在某种程度上，你甚至不吃食物就会厌倦那种味道。”“这是一种感官上的无聊——你已经有所改变了。你再也不想要那种味觉体验了。”)”可知，看了很多食物图片后，你会觉得食物不好吃了，这是一种感官上的无聊。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“It’s time to put down the phone and look away from Instagram (一款照片分享应用程序): Researchers found that people who look at pictures of food are less likely to enjoy the next meal they eat.(是时候放下手机，把目光从Instagram上移开了：研究人员发现，盯着食物照片的人不太可能享受他们吃的下一餐。)”可知，文章主要解释了为什么Instagram影响人们食欲。故选C。 D Children may not be putting coins in piggy banks for much longer. With the move towards a cashless society, pocket money is going digital. To reflect “the change”, many mobile budgeting (预算) apps for children have appeared worldwide, such as GoHenry, Osper and Gimi. These apps offer a simple money management service to children, often for a monthly fee paid by the parents. Parents can add money to children’s accounts, set limits and monitor transactions (交易). Children can choose to save their money or spend it using a prepaid card. These apps aim to teach young children financial concepts (概念), such as budgeting, interest rates and income. For example, the Swedish app Gimi — 1.2 million users globally — has virtual savings jars where children can deposit money. Parents can pay children interest as they save. There is also a prepaid card that is currently available in Sweden only, but is expected to be launched elsewhere in Europe. Philip Haglund, CEO of Gimi, believes the app can teach children responsible spending habits. “You don’t become better at money management just because you have a degree in economics. It’s more about the attitude and the relationship you have with parents’ money when you’re 6 to 12 years old,” he says. But Catherine Winter, Managing Director of Financial Capability at The London Institute of Banking &Finance, warns people that while digital tools can help, there needs to be a more organized approach to financial education. The area should “have regular, designed classroom time and ideally should be taught as an independent subject”, she says. “Children would then have the right understanding to get the most out of both the apps and their money.” 12. What do we know about Gimi? A. It provides a prepaid card for free. B. It can teach children concepts of money. C. It pays children interest as they save. D. It can be used only in Sweden now. 13. What does the underlined word “launched” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. recommended B. contributed C. conquered D. introduced 14. What do Catherine Winter’s words mean? A. Digital tools can help a lot with finance. B. Money management requires financial ability. C. A regular classroom-based financial education is needed. D. Children can get the most out of their money with the apps. 15. What’s the text mainly about? A. The rise of the digital piggy bank. B. The future of a cashless society. C. The importance of financial education. D. The popularity of money management. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了数字存钱罐的兴起。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To reflect “the change”, many mobile budgeting (预算) apps for children have appeared worldwide, such as GoHenry, Osper and Gimi.”（为了反映“变化”，世界各地出现了许多儿童移动预算应用程序，如GoHenry、Osper和Gimi。）和第三段中的“These apps aim to teach young children financial concepts (概念), such as budgeting, interest rates and income.”（这类应用（比如Gimi）的目的是教孩子金融概念，比如预算，利率，收入等。）可知，Gimi可以教会孩子金钱的概念。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“There is also a prepaid card that is currently available in Sweden only, but is expected to be launched elsewhere in Europe.”（还有一种预付卡，目前仅在瑞典使用，但预计将在欧洲其他地方launched。）可知，预付卡目前只在瑞典使用，but表示转折关系，说明预付卡在欧洲其他地方并未使用，也就有待推广，推断出launch在这里意为“推出，发行”，introduce意为“推行”符合句意。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But Catherine Winter, Managing Director of Financial Capability at The London Institute of Banking &Finance, warns people that while digital tools can help, there needs to be a more organized approach to financial education. The area should “have regular, designed classroom time and ideally should be taught as an independent subject”, she says.”（但是伦敦银行与金融学院的金融能力总经理凯瑟琳·温特，警告人们虽然数字工具可以有所帮助，但需要一个更有组织的金融教育方法。她说，该领域应该“有规律的、设计好的课堂时间，理想情况下应该作为一门独立的学科来教授”。）可知，如果要让孩子真正了解金融理财，数字工具是不够的，还需要接受定期的在课堂时间开展的金融教育。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“With the move towards a cashless society, pocket money is going digital.”（随着走向无现金社会，零花钱正走向数字化。）可知，本文介绍了数字存钱罐兴起。故选A项。 第二部分：七选五（共5题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分） Learning a language doesn’t happen in a day. ____16____ To get to the point when you can communicate with native speakers, you should pay attention to the following top tips given by successful language learners. •Study a little bit every day but efficiently When you organize to learn a lot of vocabulary or study several grammar patterns that are pretty challenging, your mind can’t take all of them simultaneously (同时地). Therefore, it is better to start with little steps and learn a little bit every day. It is often more efficient to learn 10 new words every day instead of learning 100 new words in a day. ____17____ •Don’t be afraid of making mistakes No one likes making mistakes. It affects your confidence and you are embarrassed (尴尬的) especially if there are more people around you. But when you learn a foreign language, making mistakes is something quite normal and expected. If you make mistakes, it isn’t the end of the world. Try to learn from your mistakes. ____18____ Look at them as a learning tool that helps you never make those mistakes again. • Track Your Progress Checking weekly or monthly progress against your language goals is highly-recommended. You might track the sentence structures learned, the phrases memorized, or the lectures followed. Being aware of your progress can help you see how much your efforts pay off. ____19____ This strategy will keep you motivated (受到激励的) to continue learning. ____20____ You, just like them, one day can be proud of yourself and your achievements in language learning. A. Make them useful experience. B. Try hard, and you will finally succeed. C. It takes a lot of time, organization, and effort. D. You won’t remember all the 100 words, after all. E. It is not only challenging, but also full of fun when you enjoy it. F. You can also treat yourself with a small gift when you reach a new level. G. The previous tips are from successful language learners who gladly shared them with you. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些语言学习策略。 【16题详解】 上文“Learning a language doesn’t happen in a day. (学会一门语言不是一天就能完成的)”可知，作者认为语言一天是学不好的，反言之，学习语言需要付出很多时间精力。选项C“It takes a lot of time, organization, and effort. (这需要大量的时间、安排和努力)”承接上文，指出学习语言需要大量时间，安排和努力。故选C项。 【17题详解】 上文“It is often more efficient to learn 10 new words every day instead of learning 100 new words in a day. (每天学习10个新词通常比一天学习100个新词更有效)”可知，作者认为坚持每天学习，可以少量，这样会比较有效。选项D“You won’t remember all the 100 words, after all. (毕竟，你不会记住所有的100个单词)”承接上文，指出，即使一天安排特别多得学习，但是可能根本就不会掌握好。故选D项。 【18题详解】 上文“If you make mistakes, it isn’t the end of the world. Try to learn from your mistakes. (如果你犯了错误，那不是世界末日。试着从错误中吸取教训)”可知，作者认为语言学习者要善于从错误中吸取教训。选项A“Make them useful experience. (使它们成为有用的经验)”承接上文，指出别被错误打倒，要把错误当成经验教训，符合语境。故选A项。 【19题详解】 下文“This strategy will keep you motivated (受到激励的) to continue learning. (这一策略将激励你继续学习)”可知，this strategy“这一策略”能激励人学习，但究竟为何策略，需要去上文找寻。选项F“You can also treat yourself with a small gift when you reach a new level. (当你达到一个新的水平时，你也可以给自己一份小礼物)”指出了一个激励自己的小策略，即购买礼物，下文是对这句话的延续。故选F项。 【20题详解】 下文“You, just like them, one day can be proud of yourself and your achievements in language learning. (你，就像他们一样，有一天可以为自己和你在语言学习方面的成就感到骄傲)”可知，作者在本章结尾处，鼓励读者学习上文提及的学习策略，那读者有朝一日也能成为成功的语言学习者，但此处“成功的语言学习者”是通过代词them“他们”指代的，故前文肯定会提到them指代的名词。选项G“The previous tips are from successful language learners who gladly shared them with you. (前面的提示来自成功的语言学习者，他们很乐意与你分享)”指出前文的提示建议来自成功的语言学习者，即下文them指代的对象，因此下文是对这句话的延续。故选G项。 三、完形填空（共15题，每题1分，满分15分） An ordinary trip turned dramatic (激动人心的) for 18-year-old Justin Gavin, and extremely fortunate for a young family.

B At the age of 17 years 64 days, Mack Rutherford has become the youngest person to fly around the world alone! Mack’s journey around the world lasted five months and he flew across 52 countries in total. His record-breaking flight began in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 23 March, 2022. He was 16 years old when he took off and celebrated his 17th birthday by himself in his plane. Mack faced many challenges during his adventure. Because of his small-sized aircraft, he had to land whenever the weather got too rough. However, at some points he literally (确实地) couldn’t land, such as when flying non-stop for 10 hours over an ocean. At other points, he faced extremely hot weather, such as in Dubai. In Sudan, a country in Africa, Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going. Mack battled strong winds and pouring rain during his flight, but he never stopped smiling, joking and updating his flowers on his social media account along the way, and managed to expertly pilot his plane to safety. And if Mack’s surname “Rutherford” sounds familiar, it’s because his elder sister Zara also flew around the world earlier this year, and still holds the female version of the record! The Rutherford siblings (兄弟姐妹) were inspired by their parents to become pilots. “I have known for certain I wanted to fly since I was eleven,” Mack said, “My dad Sam is a professional ferry pilot, my mum Beatrice is a recreational private pilot.” Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals, “No matter what background you have, I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and you shouldn’t limit yourself by others’ expectations.” With both feet firmly back on the ground now, it’s time for Mack to turn his attention towards catching up on his schoolwork! 4.

C It’s time to put down the phone and look away from Instagram (一款照片分享应用程序): Researchers found that people who look at pictures of food are less likely to enjoy the next meal they eat Ryan Elder and Jeff Larson of Brigham Young University asked 232 people to look at photos of food and rate them. The researchers divided the participants into two groups-one group looked at 60 photos of desserts, while the other examined 60 photos of sally foods. Participants (参加者) ranked each photo based on how attractive the food looked. Afterward both groups enjoyed a snack of salted peanuts. The group that looked at pictures of salty foods liked the peanuts less than the group who looked at desserts, even though no one saw photos of peanuts. “If you want to enjoy your meal, avoid looking at too many pictures of food,” Larson said. “Even I felt a little sick to my stomach during the study after looking at all the sweet pictures we had.” The researchers believe that food doesn’t taste as good after viewing all those photos because looking at many photos makes people feel as if they have already experienced the sensation (感觉) of eating. Whatever someone eats after looking at photos doesn’t seem as good as what she saw. “In a way, you’re becoming tired of that taste without even eating the food,” said Elder. “It’s sensory boredom-you’ve kind of moved on. You don’t want that taste experience anymore.” But there is some good news: People need to look at a lot of food photos to experience sensory boredom. So if you want to enjoy your next brunch, play it safe and stay away from your foodie friend’s photo albums. 8. What did the researchers do in the experiment? A. They showed peanut pictures to participants. B. They chose 232 participants who enjoy eating. C. They reminded participants to avoid sweet food. D. They asked participants to eat some salted peanuts. 9. What happened to the participants in the salty group? A. They were afraid of rating food pictures. B. They found salted peanuts less enjoyable. C. They enjoyed their meals a lot more. D. They compared their food with others’. 10. which of the following shows “sensory boredom”? A. You lose your sense of taste when you feel extremely tired. B. You are bored with your meal after taking pictures of food. C. You find food less delicious after seeing many food pictures. D. You eat more than before when the food tastes delicious. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. How we can stay away from Instagram. B. What causes people to enjoy salty foods. C. Why Instagram is reducing your appetite. D. Which food tastes less delicious. D Children may not be putting coins in piggy banks for much longer. With the move towards a cashless society, pocket money is going digital. To reflect “the change”, many mobile budgeting (预算) apps for children have appeared worldwide, such as GoHenry, Osper and Gimi. These apps offer a simple money management service to children, often for a monthly fee paid by the parents. Parents can add money to children’s accounts, set limits and monitor transactions (交易). Children can choose to save their money or spend it using a prepaid card. These apps aim to teach young children financial concepts (概念), such as budgeting, interest rates and income. For example, the Swedish app Gimi — 1.2 million users globally — has virtual savings jars where children can deposit money. Parents can pay children interest as they save. There is also a prepaid card that is currently available in Sweden only, but is expected to be launched elsewhere in Europe. Philip Haglund, CEO of Gimi, believes the app can teach children responsible spending habits. “You don’t become better at money management just because you have a degree in economics. It’s more about the attitude and the relationship you have with parents’ money when you’re 6 to 12 years old,” he says. But Catherine Winter Managing Director of Financial Capability at The London Institute of Banking &Finance, warns people that while digital tools can help, there needs to be a more organized approach to financial education. The area should “have regular, designed classroom time and ideally should be taught as an independent subject”, she says. “Children would then have the right understanding to get the most out of both the apps and their money.” 12. What do we know about Gimi? A It provides a prepaid card for free. B. It can teach children concepts of money. C. It pays children interest as they save. D. It can be used only in Sweden now. 13. What does the underlined word “launched” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. recommended B. contributed C. conquered D. introduced 14. What do Catherine Winter’s words mean? A. Digital tools can help a lot with finance. B. Money management requires financial ability. C. A regular classroom-based financial education is needed. D. Children can get the most out of their money with the apps. 15. What’s the text mainly about? A. The rise of the digital piggy bank. B. The future of a cashless society. C. The importance of financial education. D. The popularity of money management. 第二部分：七选五（共5题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分） Learning a language doesn’t happen in a day. ____16____ To get to the point when you can communicate with native speakers, you should pay attention to the following top tips given by successful language learners. •Study a little bit every day but efficiently When you organize to learn a lot of vocabulary or study several grammar patterns that are pretty challenging, your mind can’t take all of them simultaneously (同时地).
