Here’s my list of the best places to stay in town. The Alfond Inn The Alfond Inn is a modern, 112-room hotel in the super-walkable heart of Winter Park. It’s a quiet, art-filled space that I think couldn’t be more suitable for honeymooners. The hotel also has a heated outdoor pool and a great restaurant, Hamilton’s Kitchen, with a focus on local food. The Ritz-Carlton For luxury (奢华) and an escape from the noisy city, treat yourself to a stay at The Ritz-Carlton. Located on a peaceful 500-acre land with three indoor pools, a championship-level golf course, a 40,000-square-foot spa, a tennis club, and award-winning dining choices, I think this hotel has a true getaway experience. The Park Plaza Hotel Built in 1922, this 28-room hotel is on the walkable shop-and-restaurant-lined Park Avenue in Winter Park, just north of Orlando. Having an elegant lobby with European-inspired decorations and nice rooms with balconies (阳台), the Park Plaza Hotel is a popular honeymoon spot and a favorite for writers and other creative professionals like myself seeking peaceful working vacations. The Wellborn Near the Thornton Park neighborhood, The Wellborn, a 20-room hotel, is in Orlando’s oldest house which was built in 1883. Just a short walk from downtown’s Lake Eola, The Wellborn is near many local bars and restaurants, and it has a romantic environment with gardens and tree-lined brick streets. 1. Where is Hamilton’s Kitchen? A. At The Wellborn. B. At The Ritz-Carlton. C. At the Alfond Inn. D. At the Park Plaza Hotel. 2. What can people do at The Ritz-Carlton? A. Swim outdoors. B. Play ball games. C. Enjoy bar drinks. D. Do some shopping. 3. What do the Park Plaza Hotel and The Wellborn have in common? A. Restaurants are within reach. B. They were built in 19th century. C. Romantic gardens can be visited. D. They have a peaceful environment. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是奥兰多几个旅游的好住处。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Alfond Inn部分中的“The hotel also has a heated outdoor pool and a great restaurant, Hamilton’s Kitchen, with a focus on local food.(酒店还设有室外温水游泳池和一流的餐厅Hamilton’s Kitchen，供应当地美食。)”可知，Hamilton’s Kitchen在The Alfond Inn中。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Ritz-Carlton部分中的“Located on a peaceful 500-acre land with three indoor pools, a championship-level golf course, a 40,000-square-foot spa, a tennis club, and award-winning dining choices, I think this hotel has a true getaway experience.(酒店坐落在占地 500 英亩的宁静土地上，拥有三个室内游泳池、一个锦标赛级高尔夫球场、一个 40，000 平方英尺的水疗中心、一个网球俱乐部和屡获殊荣的餐饮选择，我认为这家酒店拥有真正的度假体验。)”可知，该地有高尔夫球场，网球俱乐部，所以可以在这里打球。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据the Park Plaza Hotel中的“Built in 1922, this 28-room hotel is on the walkable shop-and-restaurant-lined Park Avenue in Winter Park, just north of Orlando.(这家酒店建于 1922 年，拥有 28 间客房，位于奥兰多北部温特帕克的步行商店和餐厅林立的公园大道上。)”以及The Wellborn部分中的“Just a short walk from downtown’s Lake Eola, The Wellborn is near many local bars and restaurants, and it has a romantic environment with gardens and tree-lined brick streets.(The Wellborn酒店距离市中心的Lake Eola仅几步之遥，靠近许多当地的酒吧和餐馆，拥有浪漫的环境，设有花园和绿树成荫的砖砌街道。)”可知，这两个住处距离餐厅都很近。故选A项。 B When I was about twelve, I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family. It was winter, and on that night, the wind was really blowing hard. As my mom and I headed to the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age and her mother came up to us. They asked if we had any spare change. My mom right away asked where they lived. They pointed to an old car in a parking lot across the street. The girl said there were six of them living in that car. My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars. She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings (兄弟姐妹). But she didn’t come. Later, I found out she had gone home and put all the food in our cupboards into a few bags. Then, she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family. I wasn’t there when that happened, but I can only imagine the joy it brought to those people. A few days later, when I actually found out about what she had done, I asked her why she helped those people. She told me that they were not lucky. I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change. She was the same age as me, yet we looked so different. Here I stood, dressed in almost new clothes, headed to eat in a restaurant and then back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister. I remember thinking that the other girl didn’t have any food to eat and she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people. After painting this picture in my mind, I understood why my mom had done what she did. I will never forget what she did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned. 4.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一家人去饭店吃饭路上遇见一对母女，作者的母亲帮助她们的故事，作者也感受到了助人为乐的意义，鼓励大家做一个有爱心的人。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars. ”（我妈妈给了人们几美元后说她有事情要做。）和“Later, I found out she had gone home and put all the food in our cupboards into a few bags. Then, she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family.”（之后，我发现她回家了，把我们橱柜里所有的食物都装进了几个袋子里。然后，她把食物拿到车里，把袋子递给家人。）可以推断，作者的妈妈是一个体贴、周到而又热心的人。A.humorous幽默的；B.determined下定决心的；C.kind-hearted善良的，热心的；D.selfish自私的。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As my mom and I headed to the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age and her mother came up to us.

Kaavan, a 36-year-old, 9,000-pound elephant, was given the nickname after he suffered from emotional and physical problems while living in a zoo in Pakistan for 35 years. During that time, Kaavan was mostly tied in his enclosure (圈用地), and when his partner died in 2012, her body lay next to him for several days before it was removed. Doctors said Kaavan was overweight, malnourished (营养不良的) and suffering from behavioral problems due to loneliness. Cher, who has been advocating Kaavan’s resettlement, met with Pakistani Prime Minister on Friday and later visited Kaavan in the zoo. Kaavan was tested for COVID-19 before his seven-hour journey, during which 440 pounds of food were prepared. A doctor took care of him on the flight and worked with Four Paws, the animal rescue group that organized the move. He said Kaavan did not seem stressed and even slept during the flight. Very few elephants have been relocated by plane, according to Four Paws. On Monday, Kaavan arrived in Cambodia and made his way north by truck to his new home. Once he feels settled, he will be set free from his enclosure and allowed to wander around the reserve, which houses about 600 Asian elephants. Experts say Kaavan will get a long term of psychological and physical treatment. Years of living in an enclosure with poor flooring has caused his nail to crack and overgrow and he has developed a habit of shaking his head back and forth for hours, which is believed to be out of boredom. The elephant has lost half a ton since his diet was changed to fruit and vegetables. The zoo where he spent much of his life has been ordered to shut down. 8. What do we know about the elephant? A. It had a weight problem. B. It was kept free in the zoo. C. It was all alone in his enclosure. D. It lived in a reserve for 35 years. 9. According to the text, which of the following can best describe the move? A. Dangerous. B. Uncomfortable. C. Well-organized. D. Wide-spread. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The introduction to his new home. B. The further arrangements for Kaavan. C. The cause of Kaavan’s health problems. D. The medical treatment Kaavan will receive. 11. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A short story of an elephant. C A research article. D. An advertisement to a nature reserve. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道的是36岁的大象Kaavan被安置在一处新的自然保护区的相关情况及其现状。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Doctors said Kaavan was overweight, malnourished (营养不良的) and suffering from behavioral problems due to loneliness.(医生说，Kaavan超重，营养不良，并且由于孤独而患有行为问题。)”可知，医生说，该大象超重，且营养不良。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Cher, who has been advocating Kaavan’s resettlement, met with Pakistani Prime Minister on Friday and later visited Kaavan in the zoo. Kaavan was tested for COVID-19 before his seven-hour journey, during which 440 pounds of food were prepared. A doctor took care of him on the flight and worked with Four Paws, the animal rescue group that organized the move.(一直主张重新安置卡万的雪儿周五会见了巴基斯坦总理，后来在动物园参观了卡万。卡万在 7 小时的旅程之前接受了 COVID-19 检测，在此期间准备了 440 磅的食物。一名医生在飞行中照顾他，并与组织这次行动的动物救援组织Four Paws合作。)”可知，对于对大象Kaavan的重新安置，从时间上，人员配备上以及其旅途中的照顾方面都有了充分的安排，由此判断，这次迁移大象是组织有序的。故选C项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Once he feels settled, he will be set free from his enclosure and allowed to wander around the reserve, which houses about 600 Asian elephants. Experts say Kaavan will get a long term of psychological and physical treatment.(一旦他感到安定下来，他将被从他的围栏中解放出来，并被允许在拥有约600头亚洲象的保护区周围徘徊。专家表示，Kaavan将得到长期的心理和身体治疗。)”可知，Kaavan到达新家后，会将其从封闭的环境中释放出来，并将对其进行心理和景深方面的治疗，由此可知，该段的主题是Kaavan到达新居住地后的安排。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“CAMBODIA—The “world’s loneliest elephant” has been resettled at a nature reserve (保护区) in the Oddar Meanchey Province after receiving some help from singer Cher recently.(柬埔寨——“世界上最孤独的大象”在最近得到歌手Cher的一些帮助后，被重新安置在Oddar Meanchey省的一个自然保护区。)”可知，该段介绍了本文的主题为世界上最孤独的大象已经被重新安置到一个自然保护区，下文开始讲述安置这头大象的具体工作，符合新闻报导类的文章的文体特征。且新闻报道类的文章，开篇通常会有新闻发生地或者新闻媒体的名称，本文开篇的CAMBODIA(柬埔寨)为故事发生地。故选A项。 D Research shows that in the United States a great number of teenagers who once enjoyed sports no longer participate in middle or high school sports team. These teenagers say it’s just not worth it. Why do promising athletes walk away from middle school or high school sports, and what should you do if your athlete decides not to play team sports? Take Madeline for example. When she was living with her family in Texas a couple of years ago, Madeline joined her middle school’s track team. She was new to the sport, but she was fast. She worked hard, and she won medals. Then one day, Madeline fell and cracked a bone in her wrist. Her track season was over. Her coaches were upset, but probably not in the way you’d expect. Rather than comforting their promising athlete suffering from a disappointing sports injury or encouraging her to return next season, they turned their back on her. “They shunned me for the rest of the year,” recalls Madeline, who has since moved to the East Coast. “I guess because I would no longer be winning them any medals.” “Sports lost their appeal for me,” says Madeline. “I did end up trying out for the track team last year, but I actually found myself overwhelmed with memories and emotions from my experience the previous year and ended up dropping out.” Talk to coaches, parents and teenagers about the downside of sports, and you’ll hear the same answer: by middle school and certainly by high school, it has more often than not become a game of medals. Not the plain old fun of playing. Not the extra benefits that sports offer. But winning. 12. What happened to Madeline? A. She got injured in the leg. B. She missed the track season. C. She dropped out of the track team. D. She fell behind others in her studies. 13. What does the word “shunned” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Stayed away from. B. Got on with. C. Made an apology to. D. Put up with. 14. Which of the following can best describe her coaches’ reaction? A. Discouraging. B. Comforting. C. Understandable. D. Reasonable. 15. Why do many athletes quit team sports in middle or high school? A. Medals no longer attract them. B. Team sports are not exciting. C. Injuries are more likely to happen. D. Sports are more about winning. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要以运动员玛德琳受伤退出田径队为例，说明许多运动员放弃团队运动的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I did end up trying out for the track team last year, but I actually found myself overwhelmed with memories and emotions from my experience the previous year and ended up dropping out.”（去年我确实参加了田径队的比赛，但我发现自己被前一年经历中的记忆和情绪淹没，最终退出了田径队。）可知，玛德琳退出了田径队。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Rather than comforting their promising athlete suffering from a disappointing sports injury or encouraging her to return next season, they turned their back on her.”（他们没有安慰那个因运动损伤而备受打击的有前途的运动员，也没有鼓励她下赛季重返赛场，而是背弃了她。）可知，教练放弃了玛德琳，在剩余的时间里避开玛德琳，推测划线单词表示“回避”，与stayed away from同义。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Her coaches were upset, but probably not in the way you’d expect. Rather than comforting their promising athlete suffering from a disappointing sports injury or encouraging her to return next season, they turned their back on her.”（她教练很不高兴，但可能不是你想象的那样。他们没有安慰那个因运动损伤而备受打击的有前途的运动员，也没有鼓励她下赛季重返赛场，而是背弃了她。）可知，她的教练没有安慰她、也没有鼓励她，而是背弃了她，所以教练的反应是令人沮丧的。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“by middle school and certainly by high school, it has more often than not become a game of medals. Not the plain old fun of playing. Not the extra benefits that sports offer. But winning.”（到了中学，当然还有高中，它往往已经成为一场奖牌游戏。而不是单纯的玩游戏的乐趣。不是体育运动带来的额外好处。只是胜利。）可知，到了中学或者高中，团队运动不再是单纯的乐趣或者带来好处，往往会变成奖牌游戏，只是关于胜利，所以许多运动员会在中学或者高中放弃团队运动。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，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。 How to Make Sure You Enjoy Your Trip A trip is a planned destination where one arranges in advance in which the main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment. ___16___ • Plan it well.

D 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文，文章介绍了如何确保你旅途愉快的几个步骤。 【16题详解】 根据文章结构可知，空处是一个过渡句，承上启下，根据空前“A trip is a planned destination where one arranges in advance in which the main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment. (旅行是一个事先安排好的目的地，主要目的是寻找冒险和创造一个难忘的时刻。)”和下文黑体小标题可知，空处表示讲述如何让假期愉快；结合选项可知，选项E. Here are the steps on how to make sure your trip is enjoyable.( 以下是如何确保你的旅行愉快的步骤。)符合题意，此处the steps引出下文的建议。故选E。 【17题详解】 该段首句提到“Plan it well.（好好做计划）”，是该段的主题句。选项G意思为：先花一天或一周的时间为你的旅行做一个计划。选项G中“make a plan ”和该段的主题句中的“plan”是同义词汇复现。选项G符合该段的主题。故选G。 【18题详解】 空前一句提到“Pack only the things you need.只带你需要的东西”；选项F意思为：如果你的包裹里装的东西太多，很容易累。选项F是顺承空前一句的话题，其中“too many things”和空前一句的“only the things you need”相呼应。故选F。 【19题详解】 分析文章结构文章，第2、3、4段的首句都是每一段的主题，且都是祈使句句式。该空位于第5段的段首，应该是该段的主题句，是祈使句句式。下文“You may see delays, a different culture, lifestyle, food, and even a shortage of cash sometimes”提到旅行中可能会遇到各种问题，由“experiencing things with a new perspective. Once you expect to experience new things, you’ll be a happy traveler and free from stress. ” 可知，作者建议用新的视角去体验，你就会成为一个快乐的、没有压力的旅行者。因此推断本段主要讲述“带着开放的心态去旅行。”相符。故选A。 【20题详解】 该段首句提到“Save the memory.（保存记忆）”，是该段的主题句。选项D意思为：通过拍照抓住这些时刻。选项D中是对主题句的补充说明，其中“seize the moment”与空后一句中“save the moment”是词汇复现。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节， 满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Many years ago, when we first went to Canada, we were driving through Montana to Colorado with our two children, then aged 8 and 11.

Here’s my list of the best places to stay in town. The Alfond Inn The Alfond Inn is a modern, 112-room hotel in the super-walkable heart of Winter Park. It’s a quiet, art-filled space that I think couldn’t be more suitable for honeymooners. The hotel also has a heated outdoor pool and a great restaurant, Hamilton’s Kitchen, with a focus on local food. The Ritz-Carlton For luxury (奢华) and an escape from the noisy city, treat yourself to a stay at The Ritz-Carlton. Located on a peaceful 500-acre land with three indoor pools, a championship-level golf course, a 40,000-square-foot spa, a tennis club, and award-winning dining choices, I think this hotel has a true getaway experience. The Park Plaza Hotel Built in 1922, this 28-room hotel is on the walkable shop-and-restaurant-lined Park Avenue in Winter Park, just north of Orlando. Having an elegant lobby with European-inspired decorations and nice rooms with balconies (阳台), the Park Plaza Hotel is a popular honeymoon spot and a favorite for writers and other creative professionals like myself seeking peaceful working vacations. The Wellborn Near the Thornton Park neighborhood, The Wellborn, a 20-room hotel, is in Orlando’s oldest house which was built in 1883. Just a short walk from downtown’s Lake Eola, The Wellborn is near many local bars and restaurants, and it has a romantic environment with gardens and tree-lined brick streets. 1. Where is Hamilton’s Kitchen? A. At The Wellborn. B. At The Ritz-Carlton. C. At the Alfond Inn. D. At the Park Plaza Hotel. 2. What can people do at The Ritz-Carlton? A. Swim outdoors. B. Play ball games. C. Enjoy bar drinks. D. Do some shopping. 3. What do the Park Plaza Hotel and The Wellborn have in common? A. Restaurants are within reach. B. They were built in 19th century. C. Romantic gardens can be visited. D. They have a peaceful environment. B When I was about twelve, I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family. It was winter, and on that night, the wind was really blowing hard. As my mom and I headed to the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age and her mother came up to us. They asked if we had any spare change. My mom right away asked where they lived. They pointed to an old car in a parking lot across the street. The girl said there were six of them living in that car. My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars. She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings (兄弟姐妹). But she didn’t come. Later, I found out she had gone home and put all the food in our cupboards into a few bags. Then, she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family. I wasn’t there when that happened, but I can only imagine the joy it brought to those people. A few days later when I actually found out about what she had done, I asked her why she helped those people. She told me that they were not lucky. I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change. She was the same age as me, yet we looked so different. Here I stood, dressed in almost new clothes, headed to eat in a restaurant and then back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister. I remember thinking that the other girl didn’t have any food to eat and she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people. After painting this picture in my mind, I understood why my mom had done what she did. I will never forget what she did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned. 4.

C CAMBODIA—The “world’s loneliest elephant” has been resettled at a nature reserve (保护区) in the Oddar Meanchey Province after receiving some help from singer Cher recently. Kaavan, a 36-year-old, 9,000-pound elephant, was given the nickname after he suffered from emotional and physical problems while living in a zoo in Pakistan for 35 years. During that time, Kaavan was mostly tied in his enclosure (圈用地), and when his partner died in 2012, her body lay next to him for several days before it was removed. Doctors said Kaavan was overweight, malnourished (营养不良的) and suffering from behavioral problems due to loneliness. Cher, who has been advocating Kaavan’s resettlement, met with Pakistani Prime Minister on Friday and later visited Kaavan in the zoo. Kaavan was tested for COVID-19 before his seven-hour journey, during which 440 pounds of food were prepared. A doctor took care of him on the flight and worked with Four Paws, the animal rescue group that organized the move. He said Kaavan did not seem stressed and even slept during the flight. Very few elephants have been relocated by plane, according to Four Paws. On Monday Kaavan arrived in Cambodia and made his way north by truck to his new home. Once he feels settled, he will be set free from his enclosure and allowed to wander around the reserve, which houses about 600 Asian elephants. Experts say Kaavan will get a long term of psychological and physical treatment. Years of living in an enclosure with poor flooring has caused his nail to crack and overgrow and he has developed a habit of shaking his head back and forth for hours, which is believed to be out of boredom. The elephant has lost half a ton since his diet was changed to fruit and vegetables. The zoo where he spent much of his life has been ordered to shut down. 8. What do we know about the elephant? A. It had a weight problem. B. It was kept free in the zoo. C It was all alone in his enclosure. D. It lived in a reserve for 35 years. 9. According to the text, which of the following can best describe the move? A. Dangerous. B. Uncomfortable. C. Well-organized. D. Wide-spread. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The introduction to his new home. B. The further arrangements for Kaavan. C. The cause of Kaavan’s health problems. D. The medical treatment Kaavan will receive. 11. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A short story of an elephant. C A research article. D. An advertisement to a nature reserve. D Research shows that in the United States a great number of teenagers who once enjoyed sports no longer participate in middle or high school sports team. These teenagers say it’s just not worth it. Why do promising athletes walk away from middle school or high school sports, and what should you do if your athlete decides not to play team sports? Take Madeline for example. When she was living with her family in Texas a couple of years ago, Madeline joined her middle school’s track team. She was new to the sport, but she was fast. She worked hard, and she won medals. Then one day, Madeline fell and cracked a bone in her wrist. Her track season was over. Her coaches were upset but probably not in the way you’d expect. Rather than comforting their promising athlete suffering from a disappointing sports injury or encouraging her to return next season, they turned their back on her. “They shunned me for the rest of the year,” recalls Madeline, who has since moved to the East Coast. “I guess because I would no longer be winning them any medals.” “Sports lost their appeal for me,” says Madeline. “I did end up trying out for the track team last year, but I actually found myself overwhelmed with memories and emotions from my experience the previous year and ended up dropping out.” Talk to coaches, parents and teenagers about the downside of sports, and you’ll hear the same answer: by middle school and certainly by high school, it has more often than not become a game of medals. Not the plain old fun of playing. Not the extra benefits that sports offer. But winning. 12. What happened to Madeline? A. She got injured in the leg. B. She missed the track season. C. She dropped out of the track team. D. She fell behind others in her studies. 13. What does the word “shunned” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Stayed away from. B. Got on with. C. Made an apology to. D. Put up with. 14. Which of the following can best describe her coaches’ reaction? A. Discouraging. B. Comforting. C. Understandable. D. Reasonable. 15. Why do many athletes quit team sports in middle or high school? A. Medals no longer attract them. B. Team sports are not exciting. C. Injuries are more likely to happen. D. Sports are more about winning. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，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。 How to Make Sure You Enjoy Your Trip A trip is a planned destination where one arranges in advance in which the main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment. ___16___ • Plan it well.
