This quaint village gives visitors an accurate impression of Dutch living in the 17th and 18th centuries. From cheese and dairy factories to traditional windmills and historical museums, you’ll live, breathe, and experience the old Zaan style of living. Classic! Travel time by car: 21 minutes Transport fees: €4 for adults, €1.5 for children Marken: a former island in the Zuiderzee Residents of the town built wooden houses on artificial hills to prevent more flooding damage. To this day, these picturesque homes remain a popular cultural attraction. On your walk, you can visit the cosy town harbour or enjoy the scenic route of fields, forests, and the lakeshore. Travel time by car: 27minutes Transport fees: €4.5 for adults, €1.5 for children Dordrecht: a historic trading port Dordrecht is the oldest city in Holland (we mean the old province of Holland and not the so-called “country”!). There are plenty of cultural spots, including seven churches and several historical monuments-turned-museums. Travel time by car; l hour and 5 minutes Transport fees: €9.5 for adults, €2 for children (2-6 years old) Schiedam; home to the world’s tallest windmill While there are windmills all around the Netherlands,Schiedam has the tallest traditional windmills of all, standing at 26.6 metres. Schiedam is also known for being the Netherlands’ gin (杜松子酒) capital, with the city producing the most jenever (also known as Dutch gin) in the country. There are multiple bars museums where you can check out the production process. Travel time by car: 55 minutes Transport fees: €9 for adults, €3 for children 1. How much should a couple pay for a trip at least? A. €3. B. €8. C. €9. D. €9.5. 2. Which trip leads to the oldest city in Holland? A. Zaanse Schans. B. Marken. C. Schiedam. D. Dordrecht. 3. What do Zaanse Schans and Schiedam have in common? A. They’re both islands. B. They both produce Dutch gin. C. They’re both featured in windmills. D. They’re famous for wooden houses. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了阿姆斯特丹出发的四个最佳一日游。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Zaanse Schans: a picture-perfect town of windmills下的“Transport fees: €4 for adults, €1.5 for children(交通费：成人4欧元，儿童1.5欧元)”，Marken: a former island in the Zuiderzee下的“Transport fees: €4.5 for adults, €1.5 for children(交通费：成人4.5欧元，儿童1.5欧元)”，Dordrecht: a historic trading port下的“Transport fees: €9.5 for adults, €2 for children (2-6 years old)(交通费用：成人€9.5，儿童€2(2-6岁))”以及Schiedam; home to the world’s tallest windmill下的“Transport fees: €9 for adults, €3 for children(交通费：成人9欧元，儿童3欧元)”可知，一对夫妇参加Zaanse Schans: a picture-perfect town of windmills路线，花费4x2=8，花费最少。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dordrecht: a historic trading port下的“Dordrecht is the oldest city in Holland (we mean the old province of Holland and not the so-called “country”!).(Dordrecht是荷兰最古老的城市(我们指的是荷兰古老的省份，而不是所谓的“国家”!))”可知，Dordrecht通向荷兰最古老的城市。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Zaanse Schans: a picture-perfect town of windmills下的“A trip to the Netherlands would be incomplete without seeing windmills-and there’s no better way to see them than in the historical town of Zaanse Schans.(没有风车的荷兰之旅是不完整的——没有比在历史小镇Zaanse Schans更好的观赏风车的方式了)”以及Schiedam; home to the world’s tallest windmill下的“While there are windmills all around the Netherlands,Schiedam has the tallest traditional windmills of all, standing at 26.6 metres.(虽然荷兰到处都是风车，但Schiedam拥有最高的传统风车，高达26.6米)”可知，Zaanse Schans和Schiedam的共同之处是它们都以风车为特色。故选C项。 B It’s January and time to go back to school. For some, that might be a gloomy prospect after the joys of the post Christmas festive period. For me, though, it’s as exciting as a trip to Antarctica, also as scary as starting a job for which I’m not sure whether I’m qualified. To be embarking on a master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regent’s University at 71 is perhaps an unlikely route for someone who dropped out of school at 17. But now I’ve come full circle to the conclusion that nothing, for me, feels more stimulating at this point in my life than learning new things. That studying, far from being the bore and the chore it used to be, is a treat. Turning 70 came as something of a shock. I started to feel I was drifting (飘). Without a big project, and without any major family responsibilities, I was starting to feel I was lying on a bed of thorns. Friends of similar age were lapping up their lives, socializing and travelling. However, I longed for something more. Or perhaps not more, but different. As the gloom grew, I thought perhaps I needed to see a therapist. A friend, a psychotherapist, suggested that while therapy might be useful, doing a course on the basics of psychotherapy and counselling might be more up my street. Without too much thinking, I decided to give it a shot. So that’s how every weekday I beep (发出哔哔声) myself through the gate with my student pass, which makes me smile every time. I felt privileged to be exposed to a group of my fellow students who were willing to be open to me. While ageing is an inevitable process, we can get rid of a lot of the rules about what’s age-appropriate. Studying for a master’s degree in old age is a challenge, but it has provided me with a new perspective on life. Hence, ageing should never limit your ambitions. 4. How did the author feel when going back to school? A. Unrealistic. B. Resistant. C. Awkward. D. Expectant. 5. Why did turning 70 come as a shock to the author? A. She achieved nothing before. B. She lived without a purpose. C. She had to support her family. D. She was separated by her fellows. 6. What is the author’s suggestion when facing ageing? A. Keeping your passions alive. B. Seeking support if needed. C. Behaving age-appropriately. D. Socializing with young students. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Returning To School — My Dream Since Childhood B. My Efforts To Learn At An unlikely Age Paying Off C. Learning — My Way To Overcome The Ageing Crisis D. My Tough Journey To Pursuing A Master’s Degree 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者七十岁退休以后，因生活没有了目标而有危机感。于是，在朋友的建议下，作者决定攻读硕士学位，这让作者有了新的奋斗目标和人生感悟。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s January and time to go back to school. For some, that might be a gloomy prospect after the joys of the post Christmas festive period. For me, though, it’s as exciting as a trip to Antarctica, also as scary as starting a job for which I’m not sure whether I’m qualified. (现在是一月份，是时候回学校了。对一些人来说，在圣诞节后的欢乐过后，这可能是一个令人沮丧的前景。然而，对我来说，这就像去南极洲旅行一样令人兴奋，也像开始一份我不确定自己是否胜任的工作一样令人恐惧。)”和第二段“To be embarking on a master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regent’s University at 71 is perhaps an unlikely route for someone who dropped out of school at 17. But now I’ve come full circle to the conclusion that nothing, for me, feels more stimulating at this point in my life than learning new things. That studying, far from being the bore and the chore it used to be, is a treat. (对于一个17岁就辍学的人来说，71岁开始在摄政大学攻读心理治疗和咨询专业的硕士学位可能是一条不太可能的道路。但现在，我绕了一圈，得出了一个结论：对我来说，在我生命的这个阶段，没有什么比学习新事物更令人兴奋的了。学习不再像以前那样枯燥乏味，而是一种享受。)”可知，返校的时间到了，作者感到十分兴奋，她觉得学习不再是苦差事，而是一种享受，所以她满怀期待，故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Without a big project, and without any major family responsibilities, I was starting to feel I was lying on a bed of thorns. Friends of similar age were lapping up their lives, socializing and travelling. However, I longed for something more. Or perhaps not more, but different. (没有一个大项目，没有任何主要的家庭责任，我开始觉得自己躺在荆棘的床上。同龄的朋友们享受着他们的生活、社交和旅行。然而，我渴望更多的东西。或许不会更多，但会有所不同。)”可知，由于没有事情可做，也没有家庭负担，即生活没有目标，作者开始如坐针毡。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While ageing is an inevitable process, we can get rid of a lot of the rules about what’s age-appropriate. Studying for a master’s degree in old age is a challenge, but it has provided me with a new perspective on life. Hence, ageing should never limit your ambitions. (虽然衰老是一个不可避免的过程，但我们可以摆脱许多关于什么是适合年龄的规则。在年老时攻读硕士学位是一个挑战，但它让我对生活有了新的看法。因此，年龄不应该限制你的抱负。)”可知，面对衰老，作者的建议是人不能因为年老而没有追求，即仍要对生活满怀激情，故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读文章，尤其是由文章第三段“Turning 70 came as something of a shock. I started to feel I was drifting (飘). Without a big project, and without any major family responsibilities, I was starting to feel I was lying on a bed of thorns. Friends of similar age were lapping up their lives, socializing and travelling. However, I longed for something more. Or perhaps not more, but different. (70岁生日的到来让我有些震惊。我开始觉得自己在漂流。没有一个大项目，没有任何主要的家庭责任，我开始觉得自己躺在荆棘的床上。同龄的朋友们享受着他们的生活、社交和旅行。然而，我渴望更多的东西。或许不会更多，但会有所不同。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者七十岁退休以后，因生活没有目标而有危机感。于是，在朋友的建议下，作者决定攻读硕士学位，这对作者克服危机感产生了很大的帮助。选项C“Learning—My Way To Overcome The Ageing Crisis (学习——我克服老龄化危机的方法)”符合题意。故选C。 C Is there any such thing as a salt tooth? We are familiar with a sweet tooth, along with the negative effects of sugar. We are broadly aware of the disadvantages of too much salt, including high blood pressure, which puts pressure on the blood vessels (血管), the heart and the kidneys. It can also lead to water retention (水肿). But we don’t tend to police how much salt we eat — at least, not as rigorously as with sugar — or question whether we are just paying attention to our bodies, which require some salt for muscles to work properly, or we are being controlled by a strong urge. A salt tooth is quite unlike a sweet tooth. It doesn’t create an appetite for itself at the hormone level. But salt does make our taste buds (味蕾) get used to it, so that the more you eat, the more you need to get the same salty hit. This is why chefs can get heavy-handed with it. As Sam Bloom, a nutritional therapist, explains, “What is generally more concerning is the fat that is used together with salt, like salty crisps, fries and fast food. Ready meals are often the worst for hidden salts. Anything that adds flavor that isn’t a spice or herb will probably have salt added to it and can make you want to eat more because it tastes good. The salt and fat combination in these foods is what causes problems with cholesterol (胆固醇). The salt that people add to a meal is much less concerning.” Nutritionists’ suggestion is convincing: When the desire for salt hits, avoid going straight for salty snack foods such as crisps and instead ensure you are well hydrated. Seek out whole foods, such as olives and leafy greens. These foods will help you alleviate the desire for salt, which may often be due to a desire for nutrient-rich food. 8. What does the underlined word “rigorously” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Generally. B. Strictly. C. Largely. D. Pleasantly. 9. Why is salt different from sugar according to paragraph 2? A. Salt attracts chefs. B. Salt gets people adapted. C. Salt can change hormone level. D. Salt generates a special appetite. 10. What is Sam Bloom’s attitude towards ready meals? A. Objective. B. Approving. C. Negative. D. Ambiguous. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Ways of seeking out whole food. B. Reasons for getting the desire for salt. C. Attitudes towards seeking for nutrient food. D. Approaches to relieving the eagerness for salt. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。人们通常不会注意到摄入过量盐的危害。文章对此进行了介绍，并提供了缓解对盐的渴望的方法。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段第五句中的“we don’t tend to police how much salt we eat(我们不太在意自己吃了多少盐)”和“at least(至少)”以及“as with sugar(就像对糖一样)”可知，此处是指不像严格限制糖的摄入一样限制盐，所以rigorously意为“严格地”。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句和第三句“It doesn’t create an appetite for itself at the hormone level. But salt does make our taste buds (味蕾) get used to it, so that the more you eat, the more you need to get the same salty hit.(在激素水平上，盐本身不会产生食欲。但盐确实会让我们的味蕾适应它，所以你吃得越多，你就越需要得到同样的咸味)”可知，盐和糖不同是因为盐能让人适应。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Ready meals are often the worst for hidden salts. Anything that adds flavor that isn’t a spice or herb will probably have salt added to it and can make you want to eat more because it tastes good. The salt and fat combination in these foods is what causes problems with cholesterol (胆固醇).(即食食品通常是含隐性盐最多的食物。任何不是香料或草药的调味料都可能会添加盐，这会让你想吃得更多，因为它尝起来很好吃。这些食物中的盐和脂肪组合是导致胆固醇问题的原因)”可知，山姆·布鲁姆对即食食品的态度是消极的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Nutritionists’ suggestion is convincing: When the desire for salt hits, avoid going straight for salty snack foods such as crisps and instead ensure you are well hydrated. Seek out whole foods, such as olives and leafy greens. These foods will help you alleviate the desire for salt, which may often be due to a desire for nutrient-rich food.(营养学家的建议很有说服力：当你想吃盐的时候，不要直接吃含盐的零食，比如薯片，而是要保证你的水分充足。选择天然食物，比如橄榄和绿叶蔬菜。这些食物将帮助你减轻对盐的渴望，这可能通常是由于对营养丰富的食物的渴望)”可知，最后一段主要是讲缓解对盐的渴望的方法。故选D。 D Italian diver and gardener Sergio Gamberini decided to see if he could grow vegetables in a plastic balloon underwater. The experiment was a success—so he decided to dive deeper into the world of underwater agriculture. Today, Gamberini is the founder of a company using “biospheres” off the coast of Italy to grow a variety of plants, introducing the world to a new type of agriculture. The company’s six “biospheres” are air-filled plastic balloons about two meters wide. Each is fixed to the seabed by chains so that it sits between 15and 36 feet below sea level. The biospheres are equipped with cameras and sensors that allow researchers in the company to monitor CO2 levels, humidity, temperature, and more from a control tower on the shoreline. There’s also a device to communicate with divers in the biospheres. Solar panels (太阳能电池板) on the roof of the control tower power the fans that create airflow inside the biospheres, and because the temperature inside and outside the biospheres is consistent, there’s no need to expend energy on the heating or cooling systems needed for traditional greenhouses. The underwater garden doesn’t require pesticides (杀虫剂) since bugs can’t reach the plants, and though more research is needed, the company notes on its website that the higher-pressure conditions underwater appear to help plants grow more quickly. The company is now ready to shift from the research phase of development to optimizing (优化) its biospheres for industrialization, with the goal of expanding them off coastlines around the world. To achieve the aim, the startup is now taking advantage of “digital twin” technology to precisely simulate (模仿) every aspect of its underwater garden. Even with all the optimization potential offered by technology, Gamberini admits it’s hard to imagine the produce grown in his startup’s biospheres ever competing financially with traditionally grown crops. Still, he hopes the system’s sustainability will be enough to draw customers. 12. What does Gamberini’s company use “biospheres” mainly for? A. Doing scientific research on marine life. B. Creating a habitat for underwater animals. C. Monitoring climate change effects on coastal regions. D. Growing different types of plants through underwater agriculture. 13. How is the temperature maintained inside the biospheres? A. By temperature regulation by divers. B. By advanced heating and cooling systems. C. By solar panels on the roof of the control tower. D. By natural climate conditions of underwater environment. 14. What can we infer about Gamberini’s company? A. It has little negative influence on the environment. B. It negatively affects ocean biodiversity. C. It leads to much use of pesticides. D. It contributes to climate change. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Grow Plants Under the Sea B. The Creative World of Keeping Animals C. Explore the Depths of Underwater Farming D. The Challenge of Growing Greens Underwater 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一家公司的创始人利用意大利海岸的“生物圈”种植各种植物，向世界介绍一种新型农业,并介绍了这种农业所采取的技术以及优势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Today, Gamberini is the founder of a company using “biospheres” off the coast of Italy to grow a variety of plants, introducing the world to a new type of agriculture.(如今，甘贝里尼是一家公司的创始人，利用意大利海岸的“生物圈”种植各种植物，向世界介绍一种新型农业。)”可知，甘贝里尼的公司使用“生物圈”主要是为了通过水下农业种植不同种类的植物。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Solar panels (太阳能电池板) on the roof of the control tower power the fans that create airflow inside the biospheres, and because the temperature inside and outside the biospheres is consistent, there’s no need to expend energy on the heating or cooling systems needed for traditional greenhouses.(控制塔屋顶上的太阳能电池板为在生物圈内产生气流的风扇提供动力，而且由于生物圈内外的温度是一致的，因此不需要在传统温室所需的加热或冷却系统上花费能源。)”可知，生物圈内通过控制塔屋顶的太阳能电池板来维持温度。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“The underwater garden doesn’t require pesticides (杀虫剂) since bugs can’t reach the plants, and though more research is needed, the company notes on its website that the higher-pressure conditions underwater appear to help plants grow more quickly.(水下花园不需要杀虫剂，因为虫子无法接近植物，尽管还需要更多的研究，但该公司在其网站上指出，水下的高压环境似乎有助于植物生长得更快。)”以及最后一段“Still, he hopes the system’s sustainability will be enough to draw customers.(不过，他希望该系统的可持续性足以吸引顾客。)”可推知，甘贝里尼的公司具有可持续性，对气候变化有帮助。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Italian diver and gardener Sergio Gamberini decided to see if he could grow vegetables in a plastic balloon underwater. The experiment was a success—so he decided to dive deeper into the world of underwater agriculture.(意大利潜水员兼园丁塞尔吉奥·甘贝里尼决定试试能否在水下的塑料气球里种蔬菜。实验取得了成功，于是他决定更深入地研究水下农业。)”结合文章内容，主要说明了一家公司的创始人利用意大利海岸的“生物圈”种植各种植物，向世界介绍一种新型农业，并介绍了这种农业所采取的技术以及优势可知，C选项“探索水下养殖的深度”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Holidays abroad are officially back, with millions set to book a trip away this summer, To guarantee a stress-free break, use these practical tips.

Alex’s parents got the bad news from the Internet. His mother. Sofia, came up to him and showed a video of the horrible scene to him. When Alex saw the condition of the victims, his heart sank. Some had minor or serious injuries. Others lost homes and had to live in shelters temporarily. Although the government was providing relief, food couldn’t reach all the victims for a short time. “Turn it off, Mom. The video makes me too sad,” Alex said. Sofia realized that her son, sympathetic and caring, was really concerned. They needed tq reach out. But what could they do? She felt lost, “Why not put up a lemonade stand (柠檬水摊)?”Alex suggested. He told his parents that he wanted to have one stand supplying lemonade and other food for free. His parents thought it was time to teach him how to help others and a good chance to provide some support for the place they loved. Finally, Alex put up the lemonade stand with the help of his family in the disaster area. The family offered a range of items, including rice, fruit, candies, sandwiches, lemonade, fresh water and even Alex’s snacks to the stand, which the victims could help themselves to. The great support quickly went beyond the physical lemonade stand. Alex’s good behavior soon attracted the attention of others. Neighbors first rushed to donate to the stand, making sure that there was always enough food and drink for everyone in need. The stand soon turned into a center of charitable activities and a symbol of teamwork and hope,with donations pouring in from all directions. People from all walks of life came together, united by a common goal: to help those affected by the wildfires and bring hope to their lives. Most amazingly, as word about Alex’s selfless actions further spread, more and more children were inspired to join and support the cause (事业), including his friends and their parents. 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。 Alex’s friends admired him very much and tried their best to help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, the children’s parents also joined the cause. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文: Alex’s friends admired him very much and tried their best to help. They divided themselves into several groups and helped Alex run the stand. They also brought snacks and other things from their homes and even donated their pocket money. Finally, with their parents’ help, the stand managed to collect the first donated food and money to the government relief center, making sure that the support reached those who were suffering most from the wildfires. The parents were extremely happy to see their children doing good deeds and proud of them, Later, the children’s parents also joined the cause. Moved by their children’s kindness, they decided to enlarge their kindness. They not only gave away more food and money but also tried to make the purpose of the cause better known to as many people as possible, in order to encourage them to donate. Through their collective efforts, the stand made a real difference to the lives of the wildfire victims. At present, the disaster area has been restored to its original appearance, and the residents call Alex and his supporters as “a group of lovely friends”. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物Alex为线索展开，讲述了一位富有同情心的青少年Alex，在暑假期间遭遇附近野火灾害的故事。深受触动的Alex提出设立免费供应柠檬水和食物的柠檬水摊，以此来帮助受灾人群。他的善举得到了家人的支持，并很快吸引了社区的关注。柠檬水摊不仅成为了慈善活动的中心，还激发了社区内的团结与希望。随着Alex无私行为的传播，越来越多的孩子和他们的家庭也加入到这一慈善事业中。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Alex的朋友们都很钦佩他，并尽力帮助他”可知，第一段可描写朋友们如何帮助Alex。 ②由第二段首句内容“后来，孩子们的父母也加入了这项事业”可知，第二段可描写孩子们的父母如何帮助野火受害者。 2. 续写线索：朋友加入——父母看到孩子们的行为感到骄傲——父母们加入——灾区已经恢复了原貌。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②确保：make sure/ensure ③决定：decide/determine 情绪类 ①开心：happy/delighted ②感动：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1]Finally, with their parents’ help, the stand managed to collect the first donated food and money to the government relief center, making sure that the support reached those who were suffering most from the wildfires.(who引导的定语从句) [高分句型2]They not only gave away more food and money but also tried to make the purpose of the cause better known to as many people as possible, in order to encourage them to donate.(not only...but also...句型) 听力答案：1-5CBBCA 6-10 CAACB 11-15ABACC 16-20 ABABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 河北省秦皇岛市高二年级4月份联考英语 注意事项: 1.答题前,考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分) 做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例:How much is the shirt?

This quaint village gives visitors an accurate impression of Dutch living in the 17th and 18th centuries. From cheese and dairy factories to traditional windmills and historical museums, you’ll live, breathe, and experience the old Zaan style of living. Classic!

B It’s January and time to go back to school. For some, that might be a gloomy prospect after the joys of the post Christmas festive period. For me, though, it’s as exciting as a trip to Antarctica, also as scary as starting a job for which I’m not sure whether I’m qualified. To be embarking on a master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regent’s University at 71 is perhaps an unlikely route for someone who dropped out of school at 17. But now I’ve come full circle to the conclusion that nothing, for me, feels more stimulating at this point in my life than learning new things. That studying, far from being the bore and the chore it used to be, is a treat. Turning 70 came as something of a shock. I started to feel I was drifting (飘). Without a big project, and without any major family responsibilities, I was starting to feel I was lying on a bed of thorns. Friends of similar age were lapping up their lives, socializing and travelling. However, I longed for something more. Or perhaps not more, but different. As the gloom grew, I thought perhaps I needed to see a therapist. A friend, a psychotherapist, suggested that while therapy might be useful, doing a course on the basics of psychotherapy and counselling might be more up my street. Without too much thinking, I decided to give it a shot. So that’s how every weekday I beep (发出哔哔声) myself through the gate with my student pass, which makes me smile every time. I felt privileged to be exposed to a group of my fellow students who were willing to be open to me. While ageing is an inevitable process, we can get rid of a lot of the rules about what’s age-appropriate. Studying for a master’s degree in old age is a challenge, but it has provided me with a new perspective on life. Hence, ageing should never limit your ambitions. 4. How did the author feel when going back to school? A Unrealistic. B. Resistant. C. Awkward. D. Expectant. 5. Why did turning 70 come as a shock to the author? A. She achieved nothing before. B. She lived without a purpose. C. She had to support her family. D. She was separated by her fellows. 6. What is the author’s suggestion when facing ageing? A. Keeping your passions alive. B. Seeking support if needed. C. Behaving age-appropriately. D. Socializing with young students. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Returning To School — My Dream Since Childhood B. My Efforts To Learn At An unlikely Age Paying Off C. Learning — My Way To Overcome The Ageing Crisis D. My Tough Journey To Pursuing A Master’s Degree C Is there any such thing as a salt tooth? We are familiar with a sweet tooth, along with the negative effects of sugar. We are broadly aware of the disadvantages of too much salt, including high blood pressure, which puts pressure on the blood vessels (血管), the heart and the kidneys. It can also lead to water retention (水肿). But we don’t tend to police how much salt we eat — at least, not as rigorously as with sugar — or question whether we are just paying attention to our bodies, which require some salt for muscles to work properly, or we are being controlled by a strong urge. A salt tooth is quite unlike a sweet tooth. It doesn’t create an appetite for itself at the hormone level. But salt does make our taste buds (味蕾) get used to it, so that the more you eat, the more you need to get the same salty hit. This is why chefs can get heavy-handed with it. As Sam Bloom, a nutritional therapist, explains, “What is generally more concerning is the fat that is used together with salt, like salty crisps, fries and fast food. Ready meals are often the worst for hidden salts. Anything that adds flavor that isn’t a spice or herb will probably have salt added to it and can make you want to eat more because it tastes good. The salt and fat combination in these foods is what causes problems with cholesterol (胆固醇). The salt that people add to a meal is much less concerning.” Nutritionists’ suggestion is convincing: When the desire for salt hits, avoid going straight for salty snack foods such as crisps and instead ensure you are well hydrated. Seek out whole foods, such as olives and leafy greens. These foods will help you alleviate the desire for salt, which may often be due to a desire for nutrient-rich food. 8. What does the underlined word “rigorously” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Generally. B. Strictly. C. Largely. D. Pleasantly. 9. Why is salt different from sugar according to paragraph 2? A. Salt attracts chefs. B. Salt gets people adapted. C. Salt can change hormone level. D. Salt generates a special appetite. 10. What is Sam Bloom’s attitude towards ready meals? A. Objective. B. Approving. C. Negative. D. Ambiguous. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Ways of seeking out whole food. B. Reasons for getting the desire for salt. C. Attitudes towards seeking for nutrient food. D. Approaches to relieving the eagerness for salt. D Italian diver and gardener Sergio Gamberini decided to see if he could grow vegetables in a plastic balloon underwater. The experiment was a success—so he decided to dive deeper into the world of underwater agriculture. Today, Gamberini is the founder of a company using “biospheres” off the coast of Italy to grow a variety of plants, introducing the world to a new type of agriculture. The company’s six “biospheres” are air-filled plastic balloons about two meters wide. Each is fixed to the seabed by chains so that it sits between 15and 36 feet below sea level. The biospheres are equipped with cameras and sensors that allow researchers in the company to monitor CO2 levels, humidity, temperature, and more from a control tower on the shoreline. There’s also a device to communicate with divers in the biospheres. Solar panels (太阳能电池板) on the roof of the control tower power the fans that create airflow inside the biospheres, and because the temperature inside and outside the biospheres is consistent, there’s no need to expend energy on the heating or cooling systems needed for traditional greenhouses. The underwater garden doesn’t require pesticides (杀虫剂) since bugs can’t reach the plants, and though more research is needed, the company notes on its website that the higher-pressure conditions underwater appear to help plants grow more quickly. The company is now ready to shift from the research phase of development to optimizing (优化) its biospheres for industrialization, with the goal of expanding them off coastlines around the world. To achieve the aim, the startup is now taking advantage of “digital twin” technology to precisely simulate (模仿) every aspect of its underwater garden. Even with all the optimization potential offered by technology, Gamberini admits it’s hard to imagine the produce grown in his startup’s biospheres ever competing financially with traditionally grown crops.

Alex’s parents got the bad news from the Internet. His mother. Sofia, came up to him and showed a video of the horrible scene to him. When Alex saw the condition of the victims, his heart sank. Some had minor or serious injuries. Others lost homes and had to live in shelters temporarily. Although the government was providing relief, food couldn’t reach all the victims for a short time. “Turn it off, Mom. The video makes me too sad,” Alex said. Sofia realized that her son, sympathetic and caring, was really concerned. They needed tq reach out. But what could they do? She felt lost, “Why not put up a lemonade stand (柠檬水摊)?”Alex suggested. He told his parents that he wanted to have one stand, supplying lemonade and other food for free. His parents thought it was time to teach him how to help others and a good chance to provide some support for the place they loved. Finally, Alex put up the lemonade stand with the help of his family in the disaster area. The family offered a range of items, including rice, fruit, candies, sandwiches, lemonade, fresh water and even Alex’s snacks to the stand, which the victims could help themselves to. The great support quickly went beyond the physical lemonade stand. Alex’s good behavior soon attracted the attention of others. Neighbors first rushed to donate to the stand, making sure that there was always enough food and drink for everyone in need. The stand soon turned into a center of charitable activities and a symbol of teamwork and hope,with donations pouring in from all directions. People from all walks of life came together, united by a common goal: to help those affected by the wildfires and bring hope to their lives. Most amazingly, as word about Alex’s selfless actions further spread, more and more children were inspired to join and support the cause (事业), including his friends and their parents. 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。 Alex’s friends admired him very much and tried their best to help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, the children’s parents also joined the cause. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5CBBCA 6-10 CAACB 11-15ABACC 16-20 ABABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
