Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the Earth! The Earth has warmed by about 1°F (氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the Earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things to make the Earth warmer. First, greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the Earth. People give out too much energy (热能) into the air every year. It makes the Earth warmer. The weather change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the weather makes the Earth warmer. And the Earth getting warmer changes the weather, too. When the Earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. On some islands, people have to move to higher places because the sea is rising. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100. So we can do many things to protect and save the Earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the Earth. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 57. Why do people set April 22 as Earth Day? A. To make people learn more about the Earth. B. To make people know the Earth is getting warmer. C. To make people take better care of the Earth. 58. What are the reasons for the Earth to become warmer? A. They are not very clear. B. They are completely secret. C. They are well known. 59. What may greenhouse effect come from? A. Sea rising. B. People’s activities. C. Natural disasters. 60. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The weather change makes the Earth warmer. B. The Earth getting warmer can change the weather. C. The seas can rise by nearly one metre in ten years. 61. What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A. There is more rain now. B. We should protect the Earth. C. The sea is rising higher. 【答案】57. C 58. A 59. B 60. C 61. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要分析了地球变暖的原因，告诉我们应该保护地球。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据“April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the Earth!”可知，人们把四月22日设为地球日是为了让人们更加关爱地球。故选C。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Well, scientists are not quite sure.”可知，地球变暖的原因还不是很清楚。故选A。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据“People give out too much energy into the air every year.”可知，温室效应来自人类活动。故选B。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100.”可推测，海平面七十多年上升大约一米，故选项C“大海可以在10年内上升一米。”是错误的。故选C。 【61题详解】 主旨大意题。这篇短文中主要分析了地球变暖的原因，告诉我们应该保护地球。故选B。 C Recently, a girl with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) acted out Sichuan Opera and changed her face to surprise the whole network.

The findings, published in the magazine Nature Communications, found rare variants (罕见变异) of a gene called TUBB4B were happening more often in left-handed people. The scientists studied the genetic data of 350,000 adults from Britain. Among them about 11 percent were left-handed people. They found TUBB4B variants were in less than 1 percent of people, but they may appear in the left-handed 2.7 times more than in the right-handed. The scientists said TUBB4B could lead to someone using either the left or the right side of their brains for learning language. Those who mostly use the left side of the brain when learning language tend to (倾向于) write with their right hand, but those who mostly use the right side of their brain become left-handed. Around 90 percent of people are right-handed, and 10 percent are left-handed. The number of left-handed people is different across the world. There are fewer left-handed people in Africa, Asia and the Middle East than in Europe and North America, Prof Francks said. Over the centuries, many cultures have looked down upon (看不起) the left-handed and tried to force them to become right-handed. In English, the word “right” also means “correct” or “proper”. The word “sinister (邪恶的)” came from a Latin word meaning “on the left side”. In many countries like Arab countries, naturally left-handed kids are still made to use their right hands to write and draw, while kids in Europe, North America and Australia are no longer made to do so. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 67. What is the reason of people’s using left hands? A. The changing of TUBB4B happens more in them. B. They have less TUBB4B gene. C. They like to use left hands. 68. How many left-handed people’s genetic data did scientists study? A. 350,000. B. 38,500. C. 3,500. 69. Which side of the brain do left-handed people use when learning language? A The left side. B. The right side. C. Both sides. 70. Which place has the largest number of left-handed people? A. Africa. B. Asia. C. Europe. 71. Where do people try to make left-handed children use their right hands? A. In Arab countries. B. In North America. C. In Australia. 【答案】67. A 68. B 69. B 70. C 71. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了左撇子的相关内容。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据“rare variants (罕见变异) of a gene called TUBB4B were happening more often in left-handed people”可知，一种名为TUBB4B的罕见基因变异在左撇子中更常见。故选A。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The scientists studied the genetic data of 350,000 adults from Britain. Among them about 11 percent were left-handed people.”可知，科学家们研究了来自英国的35万名成年人的基因数据，其中约11%的人是左撇子，即这些人当中，约有38,500人是左撇子。故选B。 【69题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Those who mostly use the left side of the brain when learning language tend to (倾向于) write with their right hand, but those who mostly use the right side of their brain become left-handed.”可知，那些在学习语言时主要使用左脑的人倾向于用右手写字，而那些主要使用右脑的人则成为左撇子。故选B。 【70题详解】 细节理解题。根据“There are fewer left-handed people in Africa, Asia and the Middle East than in Europe and North America, Prof Francks said.”可知，非洲、亚洲和中东的左撇子比欧洲和北美少。故选C。 【71题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In many countries like Arab countries, naturally left-handed kids are still made to use their right hands to write and draw,”可知，在阿拉伯国家，天生左撇子的孩子仍然被要求用右手写字和画画。故选A。 六、选词填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1. 5分，共15分。） 根据语篇内容，从方框中选择恰当的单词，并用其正确形式填空。每个单词只能用一次。 now also at pick safe catch mostly they other reason I am Li Ming.

The Earth has warmed by about 1°F (氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the Earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things to make the Earth warmer. First, greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the Earth. People give out too much energy (热能) into the air every year. It makes the Earth warmer. The weather change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the weather makes the Earth warmer. And the Earth getting warmer changes the weather, too. When the Earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. On some islands, people have to move to higher places because the sea is rising. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one metre by 2100. So we can do many things to protect and save the Earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the Earth. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 57. Why do people set April 22 as Earth Day? A. To make people learn more about the Earth. B. To make people know the Earth is getting warmer. C. To make people take better care of the Earth. 58. What are the reasons for the Earth to become warmer? A. They are not very clear. B. They are completely secret. C. They are well known. 59. What may greenhouse effect come from? A. Sea rising. B. People’s activities. C. Natural disasters. 60. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The weather change makes the Earth warmer. B. The Earth getting warmer can change the weather. C. The seas can rise by nearly one metre in ten years. 61. What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A. There is more rain now. B. We should protect the Earth. C. The sea is rising higher. C Recently, a girl with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) acted out Sichuan Opera and changed her face to surprise the whole network. The 19-year-old girl is called Yin Qiuhua, from Nanchong, Sichuan. She was found to have Down syndrome at 6 months old. At the age of 1, she could not sit still; by the age of 7, she could not walk or eat… Other children can learn some skills quickly, but Qiuhua has to spend a long time learning them. However, Qiuhua’s mother took good care of her. Now Qiuhua can cook simple meals and wash clothes. Her mother also wanted Qiuhua to learn a skill to support herself. Then in 2021, by chance, they met Lin Chun, a Sichuan Opera teacher. Lin was touched by this special child. So she decided to teach Qiuhua face-changing skill in Sichuan Opera. Because Qiuhua understands slowly and can’t communicate in words, her mother studied with her during the day. After returning home, she taught Qiuhua little by little. Every morning at 6 o’clock Qiuhua began to practice basic skills, opening shoulders, walking steps... A practice takes a few hours. Although the learning was full of difficulties and challenges, Qiuhua never gave up. After a year and a half of training, Qiuhua acted out in public for the first time. It was successful. Now, Qiuhua can change eight Sichuan Opera faces in a row (连续). Her mother is very pleased and Ms Lin is very proud. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 62. How old was Yin Qiuhua when she had Down syndrome? A. At 6 months old. B. At the age of 1. C. At the age of 7. 63. When did Yin Qiuhua begin to learn face-changing skill? A. In 2011. B. In 2012. C. In 2021. 64. Which of the following couldn’t Yin Qiuhua do? A. Cook simple meals. B. Wash clothes. C. Communicate in words. 65. How long did it take Yin Qiuhua to learn to change eight Sichuan Opera faces in a row? A. A few hours. B. One and a half years. C. Three years. 66. What is Yin Qiuhua like? A Hard-working. B. Smart. C. Brave. D Scientists have found that the qualities, shared by left handed people, could have something to do with their genes (基因). The findings, published in the magazine Nature Communications, found rare variants (罕见变异) of a gene called TUBB4B were happening more often in left-handed people. The scientists studied the genetic data of 350,000 adults from Britain. Among them about 11 percent were left-handed people. They found TUBB4B variants were in less than 1 percent of people, but they may appear in the left-handed 2.7 times more than in the right-handed. The scientists said TUBB4B could lead to someone using either the left or the right side of their brains for learning language. Those who mostly use the left side of the brain when learning language tend to (倾向于) write with their right hand, but those who mostly use the right side of their brain become left-handed. Around 90 percent of people are right-handed, and 10 percent are left-handed. The number of left-handed people is different across the world. There are fewer left-handed people in Africa, Asia and the Middle East than in Europe and North America, Prof Francks said. Over the centuries, many cultures have looked down upon (看不起) the left-handed and tried to force them to become right-handed. In English, the word “right” also means “correct” or “proper”. The word “sinister (邪恶的)” came from a Latin word meaning “on the left side”. In many countries like Arab countries, naturally left-handed kids are still made to use their right hands to write and draw, while kids in Europe, North America and Australia are no longer made to do so. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 67. What is the reason of people’s using left hands? A. The changing of TUBB4B happens more in them. B. They have less TUBB4B gene. C. They like to use left hands. 68. How many left-handed people’s genetic data did scientists study? A. 350,000. B. 38,500. C. 3,500. 69. Which side of the brain do left-handed people use when learning language? A. The left side. B. The right side. C. Both sides. 70. Which place has the largest number of left-handed people? A. Africa. B. Asia. C. Europe. 71. Where do people try to make left-handed children use their right hands? A. In Arab countries. B. In North America. C. In Australia. 六、选词填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1. 5分，共15分。） 根据语篇内容，从方框中选择恰当的单词，并用其正确形式填空。每个单词只能用一次。 now also at pick safe catch mostly they other reason I am Li Ming.
