Instead, he is his mentor through an education program called “Big Brothers Big Sisters”. Paul and Peter have been Big Brother and Little Brother for 1 year. Previously, they met constantly. They would go to Starbucks, walk through different districts of the city or play games. When COVID-19 started spreading, the relationship had to go completely virtual to ensure their health and security. Now things get better and they meet more. When school is frustrating (令人沮丧的), Peter texts Paul and gets motivated. When he doesn’t understand a math problem, he asks Paul for help. Paul even gave Peter advice on avoiding being distracted while having lessons online at home, where he lives with four brothers and they talk, play and fight all in one space. Older than Peter, Paul has had more life experiences. He helps Peter see things positively from different points of view, but he never makes decisions for Peter. Peter said, “Paul makes such a far-reaching difference to my life, in my education outside school in particular.” Paul said Peter had an effect on him likewise, saying that his life was enriched. “If you want self-improvement, join in this program. Really, it’s in practice a job worth doing. I’d like to be a lifelong Big. Brother of Peter, and more kids.” Asked how it started, Paul said when he returned from abroad seven years ago, he started looking for ways to help his community. Then he accidentally found the program. The program makes the most appropriate matches. Kids from ages 6 to 18 can continue to get help until they turn 21. At present, Big Brothers Big Sisters has about 1 300 kids paired with mentors locally. 4. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “mentor” in Paragraph 1? A. Instructor. B. Researcher. C. Learner. D. Expert. 5. What troubled Peter most when he studied at home? A. It was difficult for him to stay focused. B. His brothers wanted to use his computer. C. He wanted to talk and play with his brothers. D. He always had trouble with his math homework. 6. What can we know from the passage? A. Paul will leave Peter when he is 20. B. Peter and Paul were carefully matched. C. Paul makes Peter’s life even more difficult. D. Peter depends on Paul’s advice to make decisions. 7. What can be the best title for this passage? A. Peter and his big brother B. How to make a great match. C. Big Brothers Big Sisters program D. New ways to help your community 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了共同参与“Big Brothers Big Sisters”教育项目的Peter和Paul被匹配在一起的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“When he doesn’t understand a math problem, he asks Paul for help.(当他不懂一道数学题时，他就向Paul求助。)”和文章第四段“Older than Peter, Paul has had more life experiences. He helps Peter see things positively from different points of view, but he never makes decisions for Peter.(Paul比彼得年长，有更多的人生经历。他帮助Peter从不同的角度积极地看待问题，但他从不替Peter做决定。)”可知，划线词所在句子表示相反，Paul通过一个名为“Big Brothers Big Sisters”的教育项目成为Peter的导师。由此可知，mentor意为“导师”。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Paul even gave Peter advice on avoiding being distracted while having lessons online at home, where he lives with four brothers and they talk, play and fight all in one space.(Paul甚至给了Peter建议，让他不要在家里上网上课时分心。他和四个兄弟住在一起，他们在一个空间里聊天、玩耍和打架。)”可推知，Peter在家学习时最大的困扰是他难以集中注意力。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The program makes the most appropriate matches.(该项目会做最合适的匹配。)”可知，Peter和Paul是被精心匹配的。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了共同参与“Big Brothers Big Sisters”教育项目的Peter和Paul被匹配在一起的故事。A项：Peter and his big brother(Peter和他的大哥哥)是最佳标题。故选A。 C If you’ve seen the film Finding Nemo, you might remember the character Dory and her attempts to speak “whale”. Now a team of scientists say they could be one step closer to doing that. They used computer technology to analyze whale sounds and think they have translated their first whale word. Sperm whales don’t speak a “language” in the same way as humans do, but they communicate by using a series of clicks. Scientists from Project CETI, an organization dedicated to translating sperm whale language, have spent years listening to the creatures. They have placed microphones on whales and planted underwater microphones off the coast of the Caribbean island of Dominica to overhear the animals’conversations. Now the team is using artificial intelligence(AI, computer technology that allows a machine to imitate human intelligence by learning as it goes along) to find patterns in the whales’ sounds. The scientists have been trying to match the sound patterns with the whales’ behavior to see if certain “words” match certain actions. This could reveal the meaning of each individual sound or set of sounds. So far, the scientists think they understand the signal for “dive”. They have also mapped out a kind of sperm whale phonetic alphabet (phonetic means turning sounds into symbols). However, like Dory, they have a long way to go before they can truly speak “whale”. Unlocking the language of sperm whales could help to protect them. Whales are an important part of marine (海洋) ecosystems all over the world. Their bodies also store large amounts of carbon, which helps to reduce pollution in the atmosphere. If humans spoke “whale”, it could be possible to warn them away from dangerous objects and areas, such as fishing nets they can become tangled in or shallow shorelines where they can get stranded. 8. How do sperm whales interact with each other? A. By making sounds. B. By using microphones. C. By tail movements. D. By eye contact. 9. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Giving an example to show that whales don't speak a language. B. Presenting new evidence on the interaction methods of whales. C. Introducing a scientific way to locate the position of the whales. D. Employing a novel approach to interpret the whale’s language. 10. What could be a possible benefit of speaking “whale”? A. To imitate the sounds made by whales. B. To understand the behavior of fishers. C. To tell whales about potential danger. D. To reduce pollution in the atmosphere. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the project? A. Unclear. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家正在使用计算机技术分析鲸鱼的声音，并认为他们已经翻译了第一个鲸鱼单词。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Sperm whales don’t speak a “language” in the same way as humans do, but they communicate by using a series of clicks.(抹香鲸说“语言”的方式与人类不同，但它们通过一系列的点击来交流。)”可知，抹香鲸是通过发出声音来交谈的。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Now the team is using artificial intelligence(AI, computer technology that allows a machine to imitate human intelligence by learning as it goes along) to find patterns in the whales’ sounds. The scientists have been trying to match the sound patterns with the whales’ behavior to see if certain “words” match certain actions. This could reveal the meaning of each individual sound or set of sounds.(现在，该团队正在使用人工智能（人工智能，计算机技术，允许机器通过学习来模仿人类智能）来寻找鲸鱼声音的模式。科学家们一直试图将声音模式与鲸鱼的行为相匹配，看看某些“单词”是否与某些动作相匹配。这可以揭示每个单独的声音或一组声音的含义。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了科学家正在采用一种新颖的方法来解释鲸鱼的语言。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If humans spoke “whale”, it could be possible to warn them away from dangerous objects and areas, such as fishing nets they can become tangled in or shallow shorelines where they can get stranded.(如果人类说“鲸鱼话”，就可以警告它们远离危险的物体和区域，例如可能缠住它们的渔网或可能困住它们的浅海岸线)”可知，如果人类说“鲸鱼语”，就可以告诉鲸鱼它们潜在的危险。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Unlocking the language of sperm whales could help to protect them. Whales are an important part of marine (海洋) ecosystems all over the world. Their bodies also store large amounts of carbon, which helps to reduce pollution in the atmosphere. If humans spoke “whale”, it could be possible to warn them away from dangerous objects and areas, such as fishing nets they can become tangled in or shallow shorelines where they can get stranded.(解锁抹香鲸语言有助于保护它们。鲸鱼是世界各地海洋生态系统的重要组成部分。它们的身体还储存大量的碳，这有助于减少大气污染。如果人类说“鲸鱼话”，就可以警告它们远离危险的物体和区域，例如可能缠住它们的渔网或可能困住它们的浅海岸线。)”可推知，作者认为这个项目有助于保护鲸鱼，由此可推知，作者对该项目的态度是满怀希望的，故选B。 D People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac. Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (活动梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. The chair is operated by remote control. When the person is ready to get out of the water, the Seatrac system brings the chair back to the top of the ramp. It’s even possible to take a shower in the Seatrac chair after going for a swim. Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a “sack of potatoes”. Mr. Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to enjoy the water. He worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system. In time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell the systems. The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar powered and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Scatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when swimming season ends. This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy, and Latvia. Thanks to Seatrac, people who use wheelchairs now have the chance to cool down with a dip in the sea. 12. Which of the following can best describe Scatrac? A. Practical and user-friendly. B. Automatic and life-saving. C. Flexible and energy-efficient. D. Stylish and smooth-running. 13. Why did Mr. Fotiou design Seatrac? A. He desired to make a profit from it. B. He longed to form a wheelchair company. C. He wanted to help his friend have fun in the sea. D. He hoped to save his friend from others’ ridiculing. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The advantages of the Seatrac system. B. The success of the TOBEA company. C. The efforts of the TOBEA company. D. The application of the Seatrac system. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To encourage care for disabled people. B. To explain the principle of the Seatrac system. C. To provide strategies for building a wheelchair. D. To introduce a new invention for wheelchair users. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了希腊发明的一种名为Seatrac的系统，该系统能够帮助使用轮椅的人士更轻松地进入海水中享受游泳。文章介绍了Seatrac系统的原理和功能，系统的应用范围和优势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (活动梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. The chair is operated by remote control. (Seatrac基本上是活动梯上的一把椅子，可以平稳地将残疾人带入大海。一旦进入海中，这个人可以留在椅子上，享受水，或者去游泳。椅子由遥控器操作)”可知，Seatrac是实用且方便的，故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a “sack of potatoes”. (发明者之一Ignatios Fotiou在与一位使用轮椅的朋友交谈时产生了这个想法。这位朋友说他喜欢大海，但不喜欢像一袋土豆一样被带进大海)”可知，Mr. Fotiou设计Seatrac是因为他想帮助他的朋友在海里玩得开心。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar powered and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Scatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when swimming season ends. (该公司努力使该系统易于安装和运行。木制人行道允许轮椅使用者到达Seatrac。该系统由太阳能供电，即使停电也可以继续运行。Scatrac系统可以在游泳季节结束时轻松打包和存放)”可知，本段主要讲述了Scatrac系统的优势，故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第一段“But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.(但希腊数百个海滩现在为坐轮椅的人自己下水提供了一种新方式。它叫做Seatrac)”可知，整篇文章围绕着Seatrac系统展开，介绍了它的功能、设计理念、应用场景、制造公司等等。因此，文章的主要目的是介绍这个新的发明。故选D项。 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。 Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior.

She stood near Ms. Robins and looked around shyly. “This is Eva,” said Ms. Robins. “Will someone volunteer to show her around today? “Chase raised his hand since he liked showing the new kids around and helping them feel welcome. “Thanks, Chase, “Ms. Robins said. “Now let’s get down to our work.” That’s when Chase realized he didn’t have a new year gift for Eva. No one else would have one either. Chase pictured his classmates’ desks covered with gifts while Eva’s desk was empty. He felt sad about that. At a break, he was careful not to mention the party as he showed Eva around the playground. At lunchtime, he walked Eva to the lunchroom, still worried about what would happen at the party. Eva had brought a packed lunch. so Chase showed her where she was supposed to sit and introduced her to some of the kids at her table. While eating, Chase suddenly remembered that kids often included candy hearts with the new year gifts they exchanged. This won’t be a New Year’s Day for Eva with no gifts. But as he sat down at his table, an idea flooded into his head. He whispered it to the kids around him. Soon everyone at the table was nodding and whispering. When they were back in the classroom after lunch, Chase told Ms. Robins about their plan. Ms. Robins smiled. “That’s very thoughtful, “she said. “Let’s go for it.” It was math time, so Chase invited Eva to study with him. He made sure Eva sat with her back to the room so she wouldn’t notice. 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登作答。 Meanwhile, her new classmates were busying working on something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Here’s your new year gift, Eva.

They were going to give Eva their “hearts”. Quickly but quietly, Ms. Robins, with an exquisite paper bag she fetched from her office, was walking around the classroom to collect the candy hearts. Growing heavy with the paper bag was the students’ welcome for their new classmate. Sitting beside Eva, Chase felt his heart racing and palms sweating. In order not to ruin the new year surprise for Eva, he pretended to be discussing math problems with her to occupy her attention. The stone in his heart finally dropped when Ms Robins tiptoed towards him and placed the paper bag on his hands. “Here’s your new year gift, Eva. It’s from everyone.” said Chase. Surprise written on Eva’s face, she turned around and was greeted by the sunny smiles on her classmates’ faces. “Open it,” I encouraged. No sooner had she opened the paper bag than everybody cheered, “Happy New Year”. The candies which were made in the shape of hearts blurred her eyes. If only she had been able to express how much this precious gift meant to her. Springing from her seat, she stepped forward and bowed to her new but considerate classmates, who not only erased her anxiety but also planted the seed of hope in her heart.

B Fourteen-year-old Peter often gets helpful tips from his Big Brother, Paul, a 32-year-old computer programmer, is not Peter’s brother. Instead, he is his mentor through an education program called “Big Brothers Big Sisters”. Paul and Peter have been Big Brother and Little Brother for 1 year. Previously, they met constantly. They would go to Starbucks, walk through different districts of the city or play games. When COVID-19 started spreading, the relationship had to go completely virtual to ensure their health and security. Now things get better and they meet more. When school is frustrating (令人沮丧的), Peter texts Paul and gets motivated. When he doesn’t understand a math problem, he asks Paul for help. Paul even gave Peter advice on avoiding being distracted while having lessons online at home, where he lives with four brothers and they talk, play and fight all in one space. Older than Peter, Paul has had more life experiences. He helps Peter see things positively from different points of view, but he never makes decisions for Peter. Peter said, “Paul makes such a far-reaching difference to my life, in my education outside school in particular.” Paul said Peter had an effect on him likewise, saying that his life was enriched. “If you want self-improvement, join in this program. Really, it’s in practice a job worth doing. I’d like to be a lifelong Big. Brother of Peter, and more kids.” Asked how it started, Paul said when he returned from abroad seven years ago, he started looking for ways to help his community. Then he accidentally found the program. The program makes the most appropriate matches. Kids from ages 6 to 18 can continue to get help until they turn 21. At present, Big Brothers Big Sisters has about 1 300 kids paired with mentors locally. 4. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “mentor” in Paragraph 1? A. Instructor. B. Researcher.

Peter and his big brother B. How to make a great match. C. Big Brothers Big Sisters program D. New ways to help your community C If you’ve seen the film Finding Nemo, you might remember the character Dory and her attempts to speak “whale”. Now a team of scientists say they could be one step closer to doing that. They used computer technology to analyze whale sounds and think they have translated their first whale word. Sperm whales don’t speak a “language” in the same way as humans do, but they communicate by using a series of clicks. Scientists from Project CETI, an organization dedicated to translating sperm whale language, have spent years listening to the creatures. They have placed microphones on whales and planted underwater microphones off the coast of the Caribbean island of Dominica to overhear the animals’conversations. Now the team is using artificial intelligence(AI, computer technology that allows a machine to imitate human intelligence by learning as it goes along) to find patterns in the whales’ sounds. The scientists have been trying to match the sound patterns with the whales’ behavior to see if certain “words” match certain actions. This could reveal the meaning of each individual sound or set of sounds. So far the scientists think they understand the signal for “dive”. They have also mapped out a kind of sperm whale phonetic alphabet (phonetic means turning sounds into symbols). However, like Dory, they have a long way to go before they can truly speak “whale”. Unlocking the language of sperm whales could help to protect them. Whales are an important part of marine (海洋) ecosystems all over the world. Their bodies also store large amounts of carbon, which helps to reduce pollution in the atmosphere. If humans spoke “whale”, it could be possible to warn them away from dangerous objects and areas, such as fishing nets they can become tangled in or shallow shorelines where they can get stranded. 8. How do sperm whales interact with each other? A. By making sounds. B. By using microphones. C. By tail movements. D. By eye contact. 9. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Giving an example to show that whales don't speak a language. B. Presenting new evidence on the interaction methods of whales. C. Introducing a scientific way to locate the position of the whales. D. Employing a novel approach to interpret the whale’s language. 10 What could be a possible benefit of speaking “whale”? A. To imitate the sounds made by whales. B. To understand the behavior of fishers. C. To tell whales about potential danger. D To reduce pollution in the atmosphere. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the project? A. Unclear. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. D People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac. Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (活动梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. The chair is operated by remote control. When the person is ready to get out of the water, the Seatrac system brings the chair back to the top of the ramp. It’s even possible to take a shower in the Seatrac chair after going for a swim. Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a “sack of potatoes”. Mr. Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to enjoy the water. He worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system. In time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell the systems. The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar powered and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Scatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when swimming season ends. This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy, and Latvia. Thanks to Seatrac, people who use wheelchairs now have the chance to cool down with a dip in the sea. 12. Which of the following can best describe Scatrac? A. Practical and user-friendly. B. Automatic and life-saving. C. Flexible and energy-efficient. D. Stylish and smooth-running. 13. Why did Mr. Fotiou design Seatrac? A. He desired to make a profit from it. B. He longed to form a wheelchair company. C. He wanted to help his friend have fun in the sea. D. He hoped to save his friend from others’ ridiculing. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The advantages of the Seatrac system. B. The success of the TOBEA company. C. The efforts of the TOBEA company. D. The application of the Seatrac system. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To encourage care for disabled people. B. To explain the principle of the Seatrac system. C. To provide strategies for building a wheelchair. D. To introduce a new invention for wheelchair users. 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。 Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior.
