A. attention B. explanation C. situation D. influence 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为什么你写作如此好？——我读了很多东西，小时候欧内斯特·海明威的作品对我影响很大。 考查名词。attention注意力；explanation解释，说明；situation情况；influence影响。句子用短语“have a strong influence on sb.”表达“对某人有巨大的影响”。故选D。 3. —To go abroad or not to go after graduation, it’s a question. —You may take ________ of the roads.

A. neither B. either C. both D. none 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——毕业后出国还是不出国，这是个问题。——你可以走这两条路中的任何一条。但最终能回家还是很重要的。 考查代词辨析。neither两者都不；either两者中的任何一个；both两者都；none三者或三者以上都不。根据“But being home in the end matters.”可知，此处是指走哪条路都可以，用either表示“两者中的任何一个”。故选B。 4. —The paper cutting is pretty lively, who made it? —It ________ be Amy. None of us except her is able to do it. A. would B. need C. must D. can 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——剪纸很生动，谁做的？——一定是艾米。 除了她，我们谁也做不到。 考查情态动词表推测。would将要；need需要；must一定，必须；can能够。根据“None of us except her is able to do it”可知，除了艾米都做不到，所以此处是指一定是艾米做的，表肯定推测用must。故选C。 5. — What are they doing? — They are discussing what to ________ to the school in the village. A. give away B. throw away C. clean up D. cut up 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——他们在做什么？——他们在讨论捐献给村里学校什么。 考查动词短语。give away捐献；throw away扔掉；clean up清理；cut up切碎。根据“...to the school in the village.”可知此处指捐献给村里的物品。故选A。 6. — The Law on Family Education Promotion (家庭教育促进法) _________ on Oct. 23, 2021. — Yeah!

A. passes B. was passed C. passed D. pass 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——2021年10月23日通过《家庭教育促进法》。——是的！它于2022年1月1日生效。 考查动词时态和语态。根据“on Oct. 23, 2021.”可知，本句是一般过去时，可排除AD选项；且主语“The Law on Family Education Promotion”和动词“pass”之间是被动关系，需用被动语态(be done)。故选B。 7. —You are not _________ dressed for the weather. —But I feel comfortable. A. properly B. heavily C. directly D. hardly 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你的穿着不适合这个天气。——但我觉得很舒服。 考查副词辨析。properly合适地；heavily重地；directly直接地；hardly几乎不。根据“But I feel comfortable.”可知，是转折关系，穿着舒适但是不合适，故选A。 8.

A. in the 1970; in their fifties B. in 1970s; in the fiftieth C. in the 1970s; in fiftieth D. in the 1970s; in their fifties 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：这家医院的医生大多出生于20世纪70年代，现在已经五十多岁了。 考查数词。in the+四位数的整数复数形式，表示“在……世纪……年代”；in one’s+两位数的整数复数形式，表示“在某人多大岁数时”。故选D。 9. —This is so difficult that I want to give up. —Take it easy. ______, it takes time to learn something new.

Our teachers will do what they can ________ us get through all the difficulties. A. help B. to help C. helping D. helped 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的老师会尽他们所能帮助我们度过所有的困难。 考查动词不定式作目的状语。do what they can实际上应是do what they can (do)，为了避免重复，省略了can后面的do，后面应接to help作目的状语。故选B。 11 —Keven has made up his mind to continue with his dream job. —________ and ________. A. So he has; so have I B. So has he; so have I C. So he has; so I have D. So has he; so I have 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——凯文已经下定决心继续做他梦想中的工作。——他确实是这样，我也是。 考查部分倒装。so+助动词/情态动词/be动词+主语，表示“上文的情况同样适用于另外一个人”；so+主语++助动词/情态动词/be动词，表示“确实是这样”。第一空是指凯文确实下定决心继续做他梦想中的工作，应填So he has；第二空表示“我”也是这样，所以应填so have I。故选A。 12. Junk food isn’t healthy ________ it tastes good. A. as long as B. unless C. if D. although 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：垃圾食品虽然味道很好，但并不健康。 考查连词辨析。as long as只要；unless除非；if如果；although尽管。“Junk food isn’t healthy”与“it tastes good”是让步关系，用although引导让步状语从句，故选D。 13. The hero in my heart is the one ______ spreads ideas to encourage the people in need. A. where B. that C. which D. whom 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我心中的英雄是传播思想以鼓励有需要的人的人。 考查定语从句。根据“The hero in my heart is the one ... spreads ideas”可知，本句是定语从句，先行词是the one，指人，且在从句中作主语，用that引导定语从句。故选B。 14. —Hi, Bruce. Here’s a letter for you. —Thanks. I wonder ___________. A who that letter was from B. why that letter was from C. whom was that letter from D. where was that letter from 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——喂，布鲁斯，这里有你的一封信。——谢谢，我想知道这封信是谁寄来的。 考查宾语从句。wonder后为宾语从句，宾语从句使用陈述句语序，排除C和D；选项A询问的是“信是谁写的”；选项B的表达不正确，介词“from”缺宾语。因此本题正确答案是A。故选A。 15. —I’ve made little progress in English this term. —Don’t worry. ________ A. All roads lead to Rome B. Rome wasn’t built in a day C. Well begun is half done D. The early bird catches the worm 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这学期我的英语进步不大。——别担心。罗马不是一天建成的。 考查习语辨析。All roads lead to Rome条条大路通罗马；Rome wasn’t built in a day罗马不是一天建成的，伟业非一日之功；Well begun is half done好的开端是成功的一半；The early bird catches the worm早起的鸟儿有虫吃。根据“I have made little progress in English during this term”可知，这学期我的英语进步不大，所以后文应该是在安慰，“罗马不是一天建成的”符合语境。故选B。 五、完形填空（共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分） 阅读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A man walked in the desert（沙漠）for two days.

Gene editing (基因编辑) is one way in which we could do this. But this method has also created some discussion. In an online video posted on Nov. 26, 2018, He Jiankui, a researcher at the Southern University of Science and Technology, said that he had helped to make the world’s first genetically edited babies. The babies are twin girls who were born in November. Their father had HIV. The twins’ genes were edited in order to prevent them from suffering from the HIV virus. He said he chose to do this because HIV is widespread in China. “I feel such a strong duty not only to be the first to do this, but also to set an example,” he told AP. But his actions caused many questions. Although gene editing may help to prevent disease, many people are wondering if it is safe and ethical to use it on humans. Some believe that gene editing could be useful to HIV patients. HIV is “a large and growing public health problem”, according to Harvard Medical School genetic professor George Church. Using gene editing for HIV is “a good idea”, Church told AP. However, others think that gene editing is still in its experimental periods and could result in terrible changes. “It could cause genetic problems later in life, including the development of cancer,” Julian Savulescu from the University of Oxford told BBC News. Others fear that people might use gene editing technology to make “designer (设计的) babies”. It would give parents the ability to choose everything from their baby’s eye colour to their IQ. “You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ for their children, leading to even greater unfairness than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics told BBC News. 36. What do we know about He Jiankui? A. He was the first person to edit genes. B. He made the twins suffer from HIV when he edited their genes. C. He made the world’s first genetically edited babies. D. He was the first person whose genes were edited. 37. Who agreed that gene editing could be helpful to HIV patients? A. George Church. B. Julian Savulescu. C. Marcy Darnovsky. D. Chinese researchers. 38. The underlined word “ethical” in the passage probably means “________”. A. 合乎常情的 B. 道德的 C. 有价值的 D. 有效的 39. According to the story, we know that gene editing ________. A. is supported by the writer B. is good for wealthy people C. causes some heated argument D. has been used widely in the UK 40. What does “designer babies” mean in the passage? A. Parents can change their baby’s eye colour. B. Parents are able to choose their baby’s height. C. Parents can give their baby everything that he or she likes. D. Parents have a chance to prevent their baby from suffering from the virus. 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. B 39. C 40. C 【解析】 【分析】本文讲述了通过基因编辑可以决定从眼睛颜色到智力的一切东西。南方科技大学的研究员贺建奎制造了世界上第一批基因编辑婴儿，目前这项技术的合理性引起了强烈的争论。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In an online video posted on Nov. 26, 2018, He Jiankui, a researcher at the Southern University of Science and Technology, said that he had helped to make the world’s first genetically edited babies.”可知，在2018年11月26日发布的一段网络视频中，南方科技大学研究员贺建奎表示，他帮助制造了世界上第一批基因编辑婴儿。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Using gene editing for HIV is ‘a good idea’, Church told AP.”可知，George Church同意基因编辑对艾滋病患者有帮助，故选A。 【38题详解】 词义猜测题。分析“Although gene editing may help to prevent disease, many people are wondering if it is safe and ethical to use it on humans.”可知，虽然基因编辑可能有助于预防疾病，但许多人都想知道，在人类身上使用基因编辑是否安全和道德。所以ethical的意思是“道德的”，故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But this method has also created some discussion.”以及后文人们对于基因编辑的不同看法可知，根据这篇报道，我们知道基因编辑引发了一些激烈的争论。故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Others fear that people might use gene editing technology to make “designer (设计的) babies”. It would give parents the ability to choose everything from their baby’s eye colour to their IQ.”可知，其他人则担心人们可能会使用基因编辑技术制造“设计婴儿”，这将使父母有能力选择一切，从孩子的眼睛颜色到智商。故选C。 C In the cave, I saw gold coins in a corner. They were Flint’s treasure! We had come so far to find this. Already it had cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And how many others? How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea? How many brave men had been killed for this? Perhaps no man alive could tell. Next morning, we moved all the gold to the beach. Then we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men. Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port (港口) in Spanish America. Before afternoon, Treasure Island had disappeared from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind. The sun was going down when we sailed into the port, and the doctor and Mr Trelawney took me to the beach. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us. “Silver has gone,” he told us, “but not empty-handed. He’s taken one of the bags of coins perhaps worth three or four hundred guineas.” I think we were all pleased to lose the bad man at so small a price. We found some sailors for the ship at the port, and then had a good journey home. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispaniola returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure. Some used it wisely, but some did not. Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job as a gatekeeper. Of Silver we have heard no more. That scary seaman with one leg has gone out of my life. I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I still hear the sharp, high cries of Captain Flint the parrot, “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!” —Adapted from Treasure Island 41. What do you know from Paragraph 1? A. Seventeen people left the island on the ship. B. There were so many gold coins in the ships. C. Many people lost their lives for the treasure. D. Only the writer found gold coins in the cave. 42. Which is the right order of the story? a. We sailed into the port. b. We sailed out of North Inlet. c.

Sixty-five works will be put on both in theaters and online. “The festival is all about imagination connecting drama with the latest technology,” says Liu Chang, manager of the festival, who is also a drama director. Technology has improved design, performances and so on. Artists like Liu aren’t sure if the new technology can take drama to the future. A Chinese play directed by Meng Jinghui, inspired (赋予灵感) by the two-part drama Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, will be on as the opening play of the festival. In the first half of the play, Meng introduces the story to 400 real audiences (观众) sitting in the Fengchao Theater in Beijing. The second half of the play will have more audiences, who use their cellphones, computers and headsets to be part of the play online. Zhang Zhouxiang is a director full of imagination. His work, inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights, will be shown from June 30 to July 2. Supported by AI, audiences can explore the fictitious scene, similar to the feeling in the real world, as the painting describes. “The stage (舞台) design is done by AI, which is like an assistant realizing the ideas of me and my team,” says Liu, “Now I try to use the latest technology, such as ChatGPT, to write the script, and I am still working on it because the language model is difficult to understand.” Now technology is playing a more and more important role. Many artists want to use it to improve drama. They are very interested in the relationship between people and the latest technology, especially when connected in drama—a scene to dream. 46. Which of the following is true according to this passage? A. Liu doubts whether technology can greatly improve drama. B. Meng’s two-part drama Faust will be on at the opening. C. Audiences can explore the scene of Liu’s work by AI. D. Liu has managed to write the script by ChatGPT. 47. What does the underlined word “fictitious” mean in Paragraph 3? A. colorful B. unreal C. fantastic D. boring 48. What is the structure of this passage? (1=Paragraph 1, 2-Paragraph 2…) A. B. C. D. 49. What is the best title of this passage? A. A drama festival B. Human imagination C. Drama of the future D. AI-assisted technology 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. A 49. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍AI在戏剧节中的运用。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Artists like Liu aren’t sure if the new technology can take drama to the future.”可知刘不确定科技是否能把戏剧带向未来。故选A。 【47题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Supported by AI, audiences can explore the fictitious scene, similar to the feeling in the real world, as the painting describes.”可知描述的场景与真实世界的感受类似，说明“fictitious scene”表示并非真实的场景。故选B。 【48题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段引出文章话题戏剧节中AI的运用；第二，三，四段介绍Meng Jinghui，Zhang Zhouxiang和Liu Chang介绍AI在此次作品和戏剧节中的运用；第五段总结全文。故文章结构是总分总的结构。故选A。 【49题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍AI在戏剧节中的运用。D项“AI辅助的科技”符合题意。故选D。 E 50. 阅读短文，根据文章内容，完成下列表格，每空一词。 The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms.

B It’s long been a scientific dream: to give people a special vaccine before birth to prevent them from getting terrible illnesses. Gene editing (基因编辑) is one way in which we could do this. But this method has also created some discussion. In an online video posted on Nov. 26, 2018, He Jiankui, a researcher at the Southern University of Science and Technology, said that he had helped to make the world’s first genetically edited babies. The babies are twin girls who were born in November. Their father had HIV. The twins’ genes were edited in order to prevent them from suffering from the HIV virus. He said he chose to do this because HIV is widespread in China. “I feel such a strong duty not only to be the first to do this, but also to set an example,” he told AP. But his actions caused many questions. Although gene editing may help to prevent disease, many people are wondering if it is safe and ethical to use it on humans. Some believe that gene editing could be useful to HIV patients. HIV is “a large and growing public health problem”, according to Harvard Medical School genetic professor George Church. Using gene editing for HIV is “a good idea”, Church told AP. However, others think that gene editing is still in its experimental periods and could result in terrible changes. “It could cause genetic problems later in life, including the development of cancer,” Julian Savulescu from the University of Oxford told BBC News. Others fear that people might use gene editing technology to make “designer (设计的) babies”. It would give parents the ability to choose everything from their baby’s eye colour to their IQ. “You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ for their children, leading to even greater unfairness than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics told BBC News. 36. What do we know about He Jiankui? A. He was the first person to edit genes. B. He made the twins suffer from HIV when he edited their genes. C. He made the world’s first genetically edited babies. D. He was the first person whose genes were edited. 37. Who agreed that gene editing could be helpful to HIV patients? A. George Church. B. Julian Savulescu. C. Marcy Darnovsky. D. Chinese researchers. 38. The underlined word “ethical” in the passage probably means “________”. A. 合乎常情的 B. 道德的 C. 有价值的 D. 有效的 39. According to the story, we know that gene editing ________. A. is supported by the writer B. is good for wealthy people C. causes some heated argument D. has been used widely in the UK 40. What does “designer babies” mean in the passage? A. Parents can change their baby’s eye colour. B. Parents are able to choose their baby’s height. C. Parents can give their baby everything that he or she likes. D. Parents have a chance to prevent their baby from suffering from the virus. C In the cave, I saw gold coins in a corner. They were Flint’s treasure! We had come so far to find this. Already it had cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And how many others? How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea? How many brave men had been killed for this? Perhaps no man alive could tell. Next morning, we moved all the gold to the beach. Then we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men. Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port (港口) in Spanish America. Before afternoon, Treasure Island had disappeared from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind. The sun was going down when we sailed into the port, and the doctor and Mr Trelawney took me to the beach. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us. “Silver has gone,” he told us, “but not empty-handed. He’s taken one of the bags of coins perhaps worth three or four hundred guineas.” I think we were all pleased to lose the bad man at so small a price. We found some sailors for the ship at the port, and then had a good journey home. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispaniola returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure. Some used it wisely, but some did not. Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job as a gatekeeper. Of Silver we have heard no more. That scary seaman with one leg has gone out of my life. I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I still hear the sharp, high cries of Captain Flint the parrot, “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!” —Adapted from Treasure Island 41.

Sixty-five works will be put on both in theaters and online. “The festival is all about imagination connecting drama with the latest technology,” says Liu Chang, manager of the festival, who is also a drama director. Technology has improved design, performances and so on. Artists like Liu aren’t sure if the new technology can take drama to the future. A Chinese play directed by Meng Jinghui, inspired (赋予灵感) by the two-part drama Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, will be on as the opening play of the festival. In the first half of the play, Meng introduces the story to 400 real audiences (观众) sitting in the Fengchao Theater in Beijing. The second half of the play will have more audiences, who use their cellphones, computers and headsets to be part of the play online. Zhang Zhouxiang is a director full of imagination. His work, inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights, will be shown from June 30 to July 2. Supported by AI, audiences can explore the fictitious scene, similar to the feeling in the real world, as the painting describes. “The stage (舞台) design is done by AI, which is like an assistant realizing the ideas of me and my team,” says Liu, “Now I try to use the latest technology, such as ChatGPT, to write the script, and I am still working on it because the language model is difficult to understand.” Now technology is playing a more and more important role. Many artists want to use it to improve drama. They are very interested in the relationship between people and the latest technology, especially when connected in drama—a scene to dream. 46.
