W: I spend about the same amount of time exercising as I did before. However, instead of doing it between work and dinner, I get up at 5 am and exercise then.

There’s an outdoor pool in town and you can swim and watch films there—we’re going to try that soon. M: Do you have any time-saving advice? W: There are things people do like checking emails or messages on the bus to work or school and making a list of things to do the next day.

But five years ago, once he picked up running by accident, he immediately developed a thirst for taking on greater challenges. A 5-kilometer run led to a half marathon, which led to a full marathon, and after discovering trail running (山径越野跑), he completed his first 100-mile race in April 2021. Along the way, Gandhi discovered that his running could be more meaningful when it became a vehicle for change. When in college at California State University, Gandhi began volunteering at the Richstone Family Center — a nonprofit devoted to treating and preventing child abuse and family violence. Gandhi soon grew passionate about the cause and began fundraising for the organization in combination with his races. “I grew up in a similar environment in the Los Angeles area and experienced things such as abuse, being around domestic violence, and seeing the damage of generational pain,” he says, “I saw how passionate their volunteers are and I just see myself in those kids.” The athlete uses his social media platform to ask for donations, and at each race, he attaches the Richstone logo to the back of his shirt to spread people’s awareness on the trails. “To me, as long as that money and that awareness is going toward goodwill, good stuff is going to happen in the world,” he says. For the next year, Gandhi has his eyes set on the Triple Crown of 200 Miles. He’ll have to complete all 654 miles of the series in a calendar year, and he plans to continue upping his fundraising goals — even if that means being overly ambitious. “I’ve always had the mindset of failing big instead of winning small,” he says. 24. What do we know about Aum Gandhi in paragraph 1? A. He is a popular runner. B. He is under great stress. C. He has a passion for running. D. He has gained fame from running. 25. How does Gandhi help with fundraising? A. By stop ping violence. B. By spreading goodwill. C. By winning running races. D. By setting bigger running goals. 26. Which of the following best describes Aum Gandhi as a volunteer? A. Modest. B. Committed. C. Intelligent. D. Adventurous. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Fundraising: A Key to Success. B. Failing Big: To Run happily. C. Volunteering: To Prevent Child Abuse. D. Trail Running: A Path to Transformation. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Aum Gandhi在开始跑步后，他的生活发生了显著的转变。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But five years ago, once he picked up running by accident, he immediately developed a t hirst for taking on greater challenges. A 5-kilometer run led to a half marathon, which led to a full marathon, and after discovering trail running ( 山径越野跑 ), he completed his first 100-mile race in April 2021.(但五年前，当他偶然学会跑步后，他立刻萌生了接受更大挑战的愿望。从5公里跑到半程马拉松，再到全程马拉松，在发现越野跑后，他于2021年4月完成了自己的第一次100英里比赛。)”可知，Gandhi对跑步充满激情。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The athlete uses his social media platform to ask for donations, and at each race, he attaches the Richstone logo to the back of his shirt to spread people’s awareness on the trails.(这位运动员利用他的社交媒体平台寻求捐款，在每场比赛中，他都会在衬衫后面贴上里奇斯通的标志，以传播人们对赛道的认识)”以及“To me, as long as that money and that awareness is going toward goodwill, good stuff is going to happen in the world(对我来说，只要这些钱和这种意识是善意的，世界上就会发生好事)”可知，Gandhi通过传播善意来帮助筹款。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The athlete uses his social media platform to ask for donations, and at each race, he attaches the Richstone logo to the back of his shirt to spread people’s awareness on the trails. “To me, as long as that money and that awareness is going toward goodwill, good stuff is going to happen in the world,” he says.(这位运动员利用他的社交媒体平台寻求捐款，在每场比赛中，他都会在衬衫后面贴上里奇斯通的标志，以传播人们对赛道的认识。他说:“对我来说，只要这些钱和人们对慈善事业的关注是善意的，世界上就会有好事发生。”)”以及最后一段“He’ll have to complete all 654 miles of the series in a calendar year, and he plans to continue upping his fundraising goals—even if that means being overly ambitious. “I’ve always had the mindset of failing big instead of winning small,” he says.(他必须在一个日历年内完成所有654英里的系列赛，他计划继续提高他的筹款目标——即使这意味着过于雄心勃勃。他说：“我一直有这样一种心态:宁可大失败，也不要小成功。”)”可知，Gandhi对自己的志愿者工作尽心尽力，十分投入。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Along the way, Gandhi discovered that his running could be more meaningful when it became a vehicle for change.(一路上，Gandhi发现，当他的跑步成为一种变革的工具时，他的跑步会更有意义)”结合文章讲述了Aum Gandhi在开始跑步后，他的生活发生了显著的转变。文章按照“开始跑步→热爱跑步→意识提升”来刻画他通过跑步完成目标转变的历程——通过跑步实现个人成长。故D项“山径越野跑：通往转变之路”最能恰当地概括本文，适合作为本文标题。故选D。 C Birds do it. Bees do it. People do it, though often less than they would like to. Owls do it in the daytime. Sleep is an ancient, universal experience. But partly because it is the order of the day, for a long time sleep was a subject that scientists had not woken up to. It is only in the past half-century or so that it has attracted the attention of dedicated researchers. A new book from Kenneth Miller, a science journalist, sets out to record the field’s short but fascinating history. Its contents range from the discovery of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) — the biological clocks that govern humanity’s days — to the effects of sleep deprivation(which can be deadly, at least in lab animals). It also explores the purpose, if any, of dreams. Sleep is a state of lowered consciousness and reduced metabolism (新陈代谢) which takes up about one third of a person’s life. Two distinct types of sleep have been recognized: REM (rapid eye movement) and NREM(non-rapid eye movement). The latter, which accounts for the major part of sleep, starts with drowsiness (困倦); brain waves become increasingly deeper and slower until brain activity and metabolism fall to their lowest level. In REM sleep, the brain suddenly becomes more electrically active, its blood flow increases, the eyes move rapidly and dreaming occurs. Discoveries often lead to new questions in turn. That is why neat tidy endings are hard to achieve in most science books; this one is no different. Despite all the progress of the past 50 years, scientists are still unsure what sleep is for. The fact that it is so widespread suggests it is vital. But why evolution would see fit to produce animals that must spend large amounts of their time unconscious and unable to respond to threats is still a mystery researchers are trying to solve. For anyone curious about asking the right questions, however, Mr Miller’s book is a good place to start. 28. Part of why scientists failed to explore sleep was because ______. A. it was so commonplace as to be taken for granted. B. ancient people had done thorough research into it. C. there was no high-tech research facility. D. they regarded sleep as too complicated a phenomenon to explain. 29. How long does the text show a person should sleep every day? A. About 12 hours. B. About 10 hours. C. About 8 hours. D. About 6 hours. 30. What does the author think of Miller’s book? A It is well received by readers. B. It presents a better ending than most science books. C. It has little to recommend it. D. It is instructive despite its limitation. 31. In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Culture. C. Finance. D. Sports. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过Miller的书介绍了睡眠的研究进展。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But partly because it is the order of the day, for a long time sleep was a subject that scientists had not woken up to.(但部分地是因为睡眠是日常事务，很长一段时间以来，睡眠一直是科学家们未曾意识到的课题)”可知，科学家们未能探索睡眠的部分原因是，睡眠太常见了，以至于被认为是理所当然的。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Sleep is a state of lowered consciousness and reduced metabolism (新陈代谢) which takes up about one third of a person’s life.(睡眠是一种意识降低和新陈代谢减少的状态，约占一个人生命的三分之一)”可知，人每天的睡眠时间应在八小时左右，故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“That is why neat, tidy endings are hard to achieve in most science books; this one is no different.(这就是为什么在大多数科学书籍中很难有整洁的结尾；这次也不例外)”以及最后一段“For anyone curious about asking the right questions, however, Mr Miller’s book is a good place to start.(然而，对于那些想要问出正确问题的人来说，米勒先生的书是一个很好的起点)”可知，作者认为米勒的书尽管有其局限性，它还是有教育意义的。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A new book from Kenneth Miller, a science journalist, sets out to record the field’s short but fascinating history.(科学记者肯尼斯·米勒的新书记录了这一领域短暂而迷人的历史)”结合本文对米勒的新书作了介绍，该书记录了睡眠领域短暂但迷人的历史。新书介绍与“文化”相关，故选B。 D Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. Amazing numbers of people with year of schooling are in effect illiterate (不识字的). Admittedly, some people have been complaining about new media since 1492, but today’s complaints have an evidential basis, Ljubljana Reading Manifesto says, “The digital area may lead to more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many attractions to read in a shallow and scattered (碎片化的) manner — or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.” Digital literacy has changed reading. When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorbing hundreds of pages to capture the world’s complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from Wikipedia. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation. And they seldom, absorb nuanced (微妙的) ideas. In the white paper that underlies the Ljubljana Reading Manifesto, experts catalogue the passive parts of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of... critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” In the 2021 international PISA survey, 49 percent of students agreed that “I read only if I have to”, 13 percentage points higher than in 2000. As professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英的) “reading class” consumes long texts — despite more people spending longer in education and book sales remaining robust. People who lose higher-level reading skills also lose thinking skills. That’s horrible, because “higher-level reading” has been essential to civilization. It enabled the Enlightenment, and an international rise in sympathy for people who aren’t like us. 32. What is the advantage of the digital reading? A. It makes more people start to read widely. B. It makes more people begin to think deeper. C. It helps the young to make use of the Internet. D. It helps people take advantage of their spare time. 33. What is Maryanne Wolf’s attitude towards digital reading? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. 34. What can be inferred about the teens now according to paragraph 3? A. Teens should change the critical and conscious reading. B. Nearly half of the teens never read at all. C. They don’t believe what the experts indicate. D. The trend of reading books is increasingly declining. 35. Which statement is fit for the underlined word in paragraph 4? A. More and more books are purchased. B. It’s unnecessary for people to buy books. C. More and more people like to visit the bookstores. D. The sales of books keep still for a really long time. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了数字阅读对深度阅读习惯的破坏性影响，以及深度阅读在文明和人类发展中的重要性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Admittedly, some people have been complaining about new media since 1492, but today’s complaints have an evidential basis, Ljubljana Reading Manifesto says, “The digital area may lead to more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many attractions to read in a shallow and scattered (碎片化的) manner— or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.” (诚然，自1492年以来，有些人一直在抱怨新媒体，但今天的抱怨是有根据的，《卢布尔雅那阅读宣言》说，“数字领域可能会带来比历史上任何时候都多的阅读，但它也提供了许多吸引人的肤浅和分散的阅读方式——甚至根本不阅读。这越来越危及更高水平的阅读。”)”可知，数字领域可能会带来比历史上任何时候都多的阅读，即数字阅读让人们开始广泛阅读。故答案为A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorbing hundreds of pages to capture the world’s complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. (当你阅读一本纸质书时，你可以完全沉浸在其中，吸收数百页的内容来捕捉世界的复杂性。UCLA的玛丽安·沃尔夫说，在网上，我们“略读、浏览、滚动”。媒介就是信息：在手机上进行深度阅读就像用手机打网球一样困难。)”可知，玛丽安·沃尔夫对于数字化阅读持反对态度，她并不看好数字化阅读。故答案为B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In the white paper that underlies the Ljubljana Reading Manifesto, experts catalogue the passive parts of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of... critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” In the 2021 international PISA survey, 49 percent of students agreed that “I read only if I have to”, 13 percentage points higher than in 2000. (在《卢布尔雅那阅读宣言》的白皮书中，专家们列举了数字阅读的被动部分:“最近的各种研究表明……批判性和有意识的阅读，慢速阅读，非战略性阅读和长篇阅读。”在2021年的国际学生评估项目调查中，49%的学生同意“我只在必要的时候阅读”，比2000年高出13个百分点。)”可知，学生们阅读纸质书籍的趋势逐年下滑。故答案为D。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“As professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英的) “reading class” consumes long texts —despite more people spending longer in education and book sales remaining (正如西北大学的教授们在2005年所预见的那样，我们正在回到只有精英“阅读阶层”才会阅读长篇文章的时代——尽管越来越多的人在教育上花费的时间更长，图书销售也保持……)”可知，越来越多的人在教育上花费的时间更长，所以图书销售也保持强劲，即图书的销售呈现上升的趋势，划线词的含义为“购买的书越来越多”。A. More and more books are purchased购买的书越来越多；B. It’s unnecessary for people to buy books人们没有必要买书；C. More and more people like to visit the bookstores越来越多的人喜欢去书店；D. The sales of books keep still for a really long time书籍的销售量在很长一段时间内保持稳定。故答案为A。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you believe that a baby can only have one parent? It is widely understood that animals have two parents, each contributing essential DNA. However, a female shark became pregnant and gave birth to a baby shark at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, US, ___36___, a new study documented. This is a phenomenon called parthenogenesis (孤雌生殖), which means “virgin creation” in Greek. For most animals, an egg cell and a sperm (精子) cell are essential to create offspring (后代). ___37___. However, in cases of parthenogenesis, the body finds a way to make up for the genetic material usually provided by sperm. As the female generates an egg cell, small cells called polar bodies are produced in the process. In the case of parthenogenesis, an egg merges with one of its polar bodies, which replaces a sperm cell. ___38___. So, the baby is similar to the mother but not a cloned version of her. ___39___. In 2018, a female crocodile who had been living alone for 16 years at a zoo in Costa Rica laid 14 eggs. Scientists found a fully-formed baby crocodile inside one of these eggs. In 2012, scientists incubated (培育) six snake eggs without fertilization (受精), and these eggs developed into healthy baby snakes. Parthenogenesis may occur in “lower animals” like some species of insects, fish, reptiles and even birds. ___40___. So, it is currently impossible for female mammals to reproduce without a male. A. It is not the best way to reproduce B. without the involvement of a male C. with the application of a new technology D. They each provide one-half of the genetic information for the new life E. During this process, the mother’s genes get shuffled (打乱顺序) slightly F. Although seemingly magical, parthenogenesis is not as rare as you might think G. However, for mammals, including human beings, an egg can not provide all the genes required to form a viable (可存活的) offspring 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. E 39. F 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过介绍孤雌生殖这一生物学现象，解释了某些动物在无雄性参与的情况下也能繁殖后代的科学原理，并列举了多个实例加以说明。同时，文章也指出了这一现象在不同动物类别中的适用性差异，特别是提到哺乳动物 (包括人类) 目前无法通过孤雌生殖方式繁衍存活的后代。 【36题详解】 上文“Do you believe that a baby can only have one parent? It is widely understood that animals have two parents, each contributing essential DNA. However, a female shark became pregnant and gave birth to a baby shark at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, US, (你相信一个婴儿只能有一个父母吗？人们普遍认为，动物有两个父母，每个父母都贡献了重要的DNA。然而，在美国伊利诺伊州的布鲁克菲尔德动物园，一条雌性鲨鱼怀孕并产下了一条幼鲨)”先表明通常繁殖需要雄性和雌性的结合，however表示转折，文中提到的一只雌性鲨鱼生出了一只鲨鱼宝宝，B项“没有雄性的参与”承接了上文的事件，符合语境。故选B项。 【37题详解】 上文“For most animals, an egg cell and a sperm cell are essential to create offspring.(对于大多数动物来说，卵细胞和精子细胞是产生后代的关键)”指出卵细胞和精子细胞是创造后代所必需的，D项“它们各自为新生命提供一半的遗传信息”介绍精细胞和卵细胞的作用，与上文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选D项。 【38题详解】 上文“As the female generates an egg cell, small cells called polar bodies are produced in the process. In the case of parthenogenesis, an egg merges with one of its polar bodies, which replaces a sperm cell.(当雌性产生卵细胞时，在这个过程中会产生称为极体的小细胞。在孤雌生殖的情况下，卵子与其中一个极体融合，从而取代精子细胞)”介绍了孤雌繁殖的过程，下文“So, the baby is similar to the mother but not a cloned version of her.(因此，幼体与母亲相似，但不是她的克隆版本)”总结了这一过程的结果，即产生的后代虽源于单一亲本，但并非完全的克隆体，E项“在这个过程中，母亲的基因会被稍微打乱顺序”承上启下，符合语境。故选E项。 【39题详解】 下文“In 2018, a female crocodile who had been living alone for 16 years at a zoo in Costa Rica laid 14 eggs. Scientists found a fully-formed baby crocodile inside one of these eggs. In 2012, scientists incubated six snake eggs without fertilization, and these eggs developed into healthy baby snakes.(2018年，哥斯达黎加一家动物园里，一只独自生活了16年的雌性鳄鱼产下了14个蛋。科学家在其中一个蛋里发现了一只完全成型的鳄鱼宝宝。2012年，科学家在没有受精的情况下培育了六个蛇蛋，这些蛇蛋发育成了健康的小蛇)”引出其他动物中孤雌生殖的例子，F项“虽然看起来神奇，但孤雌生殖并不像你想象的那么罕见”承接下文，符合语境。故选F项。 【40题详解】 上文“Parthenogenesis may occur in “lower animals” like some species of insects, fish, reptiles and even birds.(孤雌生殖可能发生在“低等动物”身上，如某些昆虫、鱼类、爬行动物甚至鸟类)”提到了低等动物中可能会出现孤雌生殖，下文“So, it is currently impossible for female mammals to reproduce without a male.(因此，目前雌性哺乳动物不可能在没有雄性的情况下繁殖)”提到目前对于哺乳动物来说还是不可能的，G项“然而，对于包括人类在内的哺乳动物来说，单独一个卵子无法提供形成一个可存活后代所需的所有基因”解释了哺乳动物无法通过孤雌生殖繁殖的原因，承上启下，符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共 15小题；每小题1分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Around 2000 years ago, ancient Chinese divided the sun’s annual circular motion into 24 equal segments, each segment was called a ‘Solar Term’.

Three men got into the boat with him. They were the ship’s captain, the cook and a sailor named Billie. For three days, the men steered the small boat through high waves along the coast of Florida. At last, they saw land. A long stretch of coast lay before the eyes of the men. Slowly, the land rose up out of the mountainous sea. The men could see a small house against the sky. To the south, they could see a lighthouse. Tide, wind and waves were pushing the lifeboat northward. The men thought someone on land would have seen the boat by now. The men waited and waited but nothing happened. The waves grew stronger. They seemed always just about to break and roll over the little boat. The coast was still far away. The sailor said: “Boys, the boat won’t live three minutes more, and we’re too far out to swim. Shall I take her to sea again, captain?” “Yes! Go ahead!” said the captain. The sailor turned the boat and took her safely out to sea again. “It’s funny those life-saving people haven’t seen us,” one of the men said. “Maybe they think we’re out here for sport! Maybe they think we’re fishing. Maybe they think we’re fools.” The coast was still far away. The sun began to go down. It got dark and cold. Billie rowed, and then Crane took his turn. They rowed and rowed through the long night. The land had disappeared but they could hear the low sound of the waves hitting the shore. This was surely a quiet night. A night on the sea in an open boat is a long night. The sailor continued to row until his head fell forward and sleep overpowered him. Then he asked Crane to row for a while. They exchanged places so the sailor could sleep in the bottom of the boat with the cook and the captain. Crane thought that he was the one man afloat on all the oceans in the world. The wind had a sad voice as it came over the waves. 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。 Para.1: Suddenly, there was a long, loud swishing(嗖嗖声) sound behind the boat and a shining trail of silvery blue. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2: When day came, the four men saw land again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Suddenly, there was a long, loud swishing sound behind the boat and a shining trail of silver y blue. It might have been made by a huge knife. Then there was another swish and another long flash of bluish light, this time alongside the boat. Crane saw a huge fin speed like a shadow through the water, leaving a long glowing trail. The thing kept swimming near the boat. He noted its speed and power. Crane woke up the men. They knew that only they could keep the boat from sinking. And so they rowed, hour after hour, tirelessly, through the night. When day came, the four men saw land again. They began to turn the boat toward the beach. As the boat came closer to land, the waves got bigger and more violent. At last, a large wave climbed into the air and fell on the small boat with great force. The boat turned over as the men jumped into the sea. The water was like ice. Fortunately, the life-saving people rescued them in time. People welcomed the men from the sea to the land. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Crane和其他三个人在海上漂流并奋力求生的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由续写第一段首句“突然，船后面传来一阵长长的、响亮的嗖嗖声，还有一条银蓝色的闪光痕迹。”可以预测续写第一段主要内容：蓝色的光促使他们不停地轮流划动着救生船。 ②由第二段首句“天一亮，四个人又看到了陆地。”可以预测续写第二段主要内容：他们开始把船转向海滩，最总获救。 2.续写线索：船后出现蓝色的闪光——轮流划船——再次看到陆地——朝海滩划去——最终获救 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.看见：see/spot/catch the sight of ②.注意到：note /notice/take notice of ③.拯救：rescue/save 描述形容词类 ①.巨大的： huge/giant/enormous ②.猛烈的：violent/fierce 【点睛】[高分句型1].Crane saw a huge fin speed like a shadow through the water, leaving a long glowing trail. （运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2].They knew that only they could keep the boat from sinking. （运用了that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型3].

B Aum Gandhi, a runner from California, experienced weight changes and mental health issues due to the high stress of his job. But five years ago, once he picked up running by accident, he immediately developed a thirst for taking on greater challenges. A 5-kilometer run led to a half marathon, which led to a full marathon, and after discovering trail running (山径越野跑), he completed his first 100-mile race in April 2021. Along the way, Gandhi discovered that his running could be more meaningful when it became a vehicle for change. When in college at California State University, Gandhi began volunteering at the Richstone Family Center — a nonprofit devoted to treating and preventing child abuse and family violence. Gandhi soon grew passionate about the cause and began fundraising for the organization in combination with his races. “I grew up in a similar environment in the Los Angeles area and experienced things such as abuse, being around domestic violence, and seeing the damage of generational pain,” he says, “I saw how passionate their volunteers are and I just see myself in those kids.” The athlete uses his social media platform to ask for donations, and at each race, he attaches the Richstone logo to the back of his shirt to spread people’s awareness on the trails. “To me, as long as that money and that awareness is going toward goodwill, good stuff is going to happen in the world,” he says. For the next year, Gandhi has his eyes set on the Triple Crown of 200 Miles. He’ll have to complete all 654 miles of the series in a calendar year, and he plans to continue upping his fundraising goals — even if that means being overly ambitious. “I’ve always had the mindset of failing big instead of winning small,” he says. 24. What do we know about Aum Gandhi in paragraph 1? A. He is a popular runner. B. He is under great stress. C. He has a passion for running. D. He has gained fame from running. 25. How does Gandhi help with fundraising? A. By stop ping violence. B. By spreading goodwill. C. By winning running races. D. By setting bigger running goals. 26. Which of the following best describes Aum Gandhi as a volunteer? A. Modest. B. Committed. C. Intelligent. D. Adventurous. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Fundraising: A Key to Success. B. Failing Big: To Run happily. C. Volunteering: To Prevent Child Abuse. D. Trail Running: A Path to Transformation. C Birds do it. Bees do it. People do it, though often less than they would like to. Owls do it in the daytime. Sleep is an ancient, universal experience. But partly because it is the order of the day, for a long time sleep was a subject that scientists had not woken up to. It is only in the past half-century or so that it has attracted the attention of dedicated researchers. A new book from Kenneth Miller, a science journalist, sets out to record the field’s short but fascinating history. Its contents range from the discovery of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) — the biological clocks that govern humanity’s days — to the effects of sleep deprivation(which can be deadly, at least in lab animals). It also explores the purpose, if any, of dreams. Sleep is a state of lowered consciousness and reduced metabolism (新陈代谢) which takes up about one third of a person’s life. Two distinct types of sleep have been recognized: REM (rapid eye movement) and NREM(non-rapid eye movement). The latter, which accounts for the major part of sleep, starts with drowsiness (困倦); brain waves become increasingly deeper and slower until brain activity and metabolism fall to their lowest level. In REM sleep, the brain suddenly becomes more electrically active, its blood flow increases, the eyes move rapidly and dreaming occurs. Discoveries often lead to new questions in turn. That is why neat, tidy endings are hard to achieve in most science books; this one is no different. Despite all the progress of the past 50 years, scientists are still unsure what sleep is for. The fact that it is so widespread suggests it is vital. But why evolution would see fit to produce animals that must spend large amounts of their time unconscious and unable to respond to threats is still a mystery researchers are trying to solve. For anyone curious about asking the right questions, however, Mr Miller’s book is a good place to start. 28. Part of why scientists failed to explore sleep was because ______. A. it was so commonplace as to be taken for granted. B. ancient people had done thorough research into it. C. there was no high-tech research facility. D. they regarded sleep as too complicated a phenomenon to explain. 29. How long does the text show a person should sleep every day? A. About 12 hours. B. About 10 hours. C. About 8 hours. D. About 6 hours. 30. What does the author think of Miller’s book? A. It is well received by readers. B. It presents a better ending than most science books. C. It has little to recommend it. D. It is instructive despite its limitation. 31. In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Culture. C. Finance. D. Sports. D Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. Amazing numbers of people with year of schooling are in effect illiterate (不识字的). Admittedly, some people have been complaining about new media since 1492, but today’s complaints have an evidential basis, Ljubljana Reading Manifesto says, “The digital area may lead to more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many attractions to read in a shallow and scattered (碎片化的) manner — or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.” Digital literacy has changed reading. When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorbing hundreds of pages to capture the world’s complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from Wikipedia. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation. And they seldom, absorb nuanced (微妙的) ideas. In the white paper that underlies the Ljubljana Reading Manifesto, experts catalogue the passive parts of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of... critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” In the 2021 international PISA survey, 49 percent of students agreed that “I read only if I have to”, 13 percentage points higher than in 2000. As professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英的) “reading class” consumes long texts — despite more people spending longer in education and book sales remaining robust. People who lose higher-level reading skills also lose thinking skills. That’s horrible, because “higher-level reading” has been essential to civilization. It enabled the Enlightenment, and an international rise in sympathy for people who aren’t like us. 32. What is the advantage of the digital reading? A. It makes more people start to read widely. B. It makes more people begin to think deeper. C. It helps the young to make use of the Internet. D. It helps people take advantage of their spare time. 33. What is Maryanne Wolf’s attitude towards digital reading? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. 34. What can be inferred about the teens now according to paragraph 3? A. Teens should change the critical and conscious reading. B. Nearly half of the teens never read at all. C. They don’t believe what the experts indicate. D. The trend of reading books is increasingly declining. 35. Which statement is fit for the underlined word in paragraph 4? A. More and more books are purchased. B. It’s unnecessary for people to buy books. C. More and more people like to visit the bookstores. D. The sales of books keep still for a really long time. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you believe that a baby can only have one parent? It is widely understood that animals have two parents, each contributing essential DNA. However, a female shark became pregnant and gave birth to a baby shark at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, US, ___36___, a new study documented. This is a phenomenon called parthenogenesis (孤雌生殖), which means “virgin creation” in Greek. For most animals, an egg cell and a sperm (精子) cell are essential to create offspring (后代). ___37___. However, in cases of parthenogenesis, the body finds a way to make up for the genetic material usually provided by sperm. As the female generates an egg cell, small cells called polar bodies are produced in the process. In the case of parthenogenesis, an egg merges with one of its polar bodies, which replaces a sperm cell. ___38___. So, the baby is similar to the mother but not a cloned version of her. ___39___. In 2018, a female crocodile who had been living alone for 16 years at a zoo in Costa Rica laid 14 eggs. Scientists found a fully-formed baby crocodile inside one of these eggs. In 2012, scientists incubated (培育) six snake eggs without fertilization (受精), and these eggs developed into healthy baby snakes. Parthenogenesis may occur in “lower animals” like some species of insects, fish, reptiles and even birds. ___40___. So, it is currently impossible for female mammals to reproduce without a male. A. It is not the best way to reproduce B. without the involvement of a male C. with the application of a new technology D. They each provide one-half of the genetic information for the new life E. During this process, the mother’s genes get shuffled (打乱顺序) slightly F. Although seemingly magical, parthenogenesis is not as rare as you might think G. However, for mammals, including human beings, an egg can not provide all the genes required to form a viable (可存活的) offspring 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共 15小题；每小题1分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Around 2000 years ago, ancient Chinese divided the sun’s annual circular motion into 24 equal segments, each segment was called a ‘Solar Term’.

Three men got into the boat with him. They were the ship’s captain, the cook and a sailor named Billie. For three days, the men steered the small boat through high waves along the coast of Florida. At last, they saw land. A long stretch of coast lay before the eyes of the men. Slowly, the land rose up out of the mountainous sea. The men could see a small house against the sky. To the south, they could see a lighthouse. Tide, wind and waves were pushing the lifeboat northward. The men thought someone on land would have seen the boat by now. The men waited and waited but nothing happened. The waves grew stronger. They seemed always just about to break and roll over the little boat. The coast was still far away. The sailor said: “Boys, the boat won’t live three minutes more, and we’re too far out to swim. Shall I take her to sea again, captain?” “Yes! Go ahead!” said the captain. The sailor turned the boat and took her safely out to sea again. “It’s funny those life-saving people haven’t seen us,” one of the men said. “Maybe they think we’re out here for sport! Maybe they think we’re fishing. Maybe they think we’re fools.” The coast was still far away. The sun began to go down. It got dark and cold. Billie rowed, and then Crane took his turn. They rowed and rowed through the long night. The land had disappeared but they could hear the low sound of the waves hitting the shore. This was surely a quiet night. A night on the sea in an open boat is a long night. The sailor continued to row until his head fell forward and sleep overpowered him. Then he asked Crane to row for a while. They exchanged places so the sailor could sleep in the bottom of the boat with the cook and the captain. Crane thought that he was the one man afloat on all the oceans in the world. The wind had a sad voice as it came over the waves. 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。 Para.1: Suddenly, there was a long, loud swishing(嗖嗖声) sound behind the boat and a shining trail of silvery blue. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2: When day came, the four men saw land again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
