Western Australia On April 20, a total solar eclipse (月全食) will be visible over the northwestern edge of Australia. For an event that will likely last about one minute, the town of Exmouth and the greater Ningaloo Peninsula on which it sits have been planning for more than a year. There will be outdoor viewing platforms where spectators (观看者) can safely watch the solar miracle (with protective eyewear, of, course) as well as musical performances, educational opportunities to learn about science and astronomy, and a three-day Dark Sky Festival. FIJI Brilliant, blue waters, expansive coral reefs and hundreds of peaceful islands. While the country is spoiled for underwater beauty, take an opportunity to explore its above-ground treasures, too. To learn about the local Indigenous communities, travelers can take part in a kava welcoming ceremony or enjoy a lovo, a meal cooked by hot coals in an underground pit covered with banana leaves. Fiji Airways now has direct flights from Los. Angeles and San Francisco, making it relatively easy to get to the islands. As the Fijians say, bulal Uganda There’s considerable change brewing (酝酿) in Uganda’s travel offerings at the moment with the East’ African country looking beyond the traditional staples of safari and wildlife spotting to appeal to both regional and international visitors. From the expansive shores of Lake Victoria to the snowy Rwenzori Mountains, Uganda is a beautiful wilderness playground, with opportunities for adventure including hikes through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or up to the craters (火山口) of the Virunga volcano chain or whitewater rafting along the Victoria Nile. Thessaloniki, Greece Throw in a popular waterfront and approach to beautiful beaches and inland mountains, Thessaloniki is surely a contender (竞争者) for one of Europe’s best city-break destinations. What could make it even better? How about a gleaming (闪现) new metro system? All being well, November should see the opening of the main line of an infrastructure megaproject that will eventually connect the city’s downtown to its international airport. Driverless trains will whisk passengers through tunnels whose excavation (挖掘) has added to Thesșaloniki’s already rich catalog of archeological discoveries, many of which will be on display in specially created museum stations. 31. Which of the following is the appropriate match between tourists and destinations? A. Deep diving lovers-Uganda. B. Astronomy enthusiasts-Western Australia. C. Archaeologists-Fiji. D. Exploration fanatics-Thessaloniki. 32. What can we learn from the passage? A. Traditional wildlife spotting has been eliminated from the tourism in Uganda. B. Visitors departing from Los Angeles have to transfer in San Francisco to fly to Fiji. C. New archaeological findings for display were discovered during the tunnel excavation. D. Outdoor viewing platforms make it possible to watch the total solar eclipse without tools. 33. What do these four destinations have in common? A. They all feature local cultural activities to appeal to visitors. B They are all located next to the sea and have beautiful landscapes. C. They all make a lot of effort to improve the quality of traveling. D. They all focus on offering an adventurous but educational holiday experience. B Like many young women, Joan Molinsky dreamed of a career on stage, entertaining the masses. However, her parents were skeptical; despite their daughter’s success in a number of local talent contests. Eager to see her perform in a club setting, Dr. Molinsky had his comedian-wanna-be daughter booked at the family’s beach club, which is Joan’s first dinner engagement. Miss Molinsky started her act with a funny song, but the audiences’ attention span lasted only as long as it took the dessert carts to visit their tables. In a matter of no time, the 300 people in attendance had resumed any and all conversations they’d had prior to the pretty’s introduction on stage. Heartbroken and ignored, Joan grounded her way through and uttered a polite “thank you” at the end of her final song. She burst into the nearby kitchen, teary-eyed with embarrassment. Her parents were also embarrassed and reinforced their belief that Joan had no future in entertainment. Dr. Molinsky told Joan to give up her dream of comedy and pursue a more realistic career choice. His daughter went ballistic. “I don’t care what you say!” She screamed at her father. “I do have talent. It’s my life. It’s my choice how I live it.” The fight eventually resulted in Joan moving out of her family’s home and taking up a temporary work, while pursuing her dreams with a variety of troupes (剧团) and shows. Her dedication eventually led to a job in California as a writer and on-air “bait girl” for Candid Camera (隐蔽摄像机). Despite her growing role on the show, host Allen Funt never could remember her first name, calling her everything from Jeri to Jeannie to Jackie. It was during her time with Candid Camera that Joan received a call from The Tonight Show, whom she had longed for over a year for a guest shot. They wanted her to appear with Johnny Carson. Once on stage, Joan and Carson hit it off immediately. In the end, Carson wiped tears of laughter from his eyes and said aloud to his millions of viewers, “God, you’re funny. You’re going to be a star.” The next day, dozens of appearance offers flooded in from all over the country, putting. Joan on comedy’s A-list. She also resigned from Candid Camera that day, much to the regret of an angry Funt. From that point on, no one would ever misidentify or underestimate Joan Rivers again. 34. What was Joan’s first dinner engagement like? A. It made her famous overnight. B. She was constantly interrupted by the audience. C. The audience gave her a lasting encouragement. D. Few paid much attention to what she performed. 35. What does the underlined word “ballistic” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Confident. B. Excited. C. Angry. D. Compassionate. 36. How did Joan’s performance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson change her career? A. She received negative review s from the audience. B. She decided to quit comedy altogether. C. She became a star and received many offers. D. She was criticized for her lack of talent. 37. What can we learn from Joan’s story? A. One should listen to parents’ advice. B. Don’t give up on your dreams easily. C. Success comes quickly if you do have talents. D No one can achieve his dream without family support. C Many people are told that certain activities are out of the question for them, but a new invention proves that where there is a will, there is a way. Dr. Zacharias Vamvakousis has come up with a creative way to improve the quality of life for countless people through the power of music. His invention is called EyeHarp, which enables individuals to make music using their gaze (注视) instead of their hands. “EyeHarp is the first musical application that allows people with disabilities to play music with eyes or head movements,” Zacharias explains. “Using an eye tracker, you can make melodies by looking at the notes on the screen.” EyeHarp uses the same type of digital eye-tracking technology used in some computer games. But instead of using it to aim weapons at digital opponents, EyeHarp uses it to track your eyes as they stay on different musical notes on a colorful circle on your computer screen. The application allows you to play three to four notes every second. However, users have to be careful not to move their eyes too quickly from one musical note to the next. So, much like any other instrument, playing a tune takes practice and concentration. Zacharias was inspired to create the magical application after a musician friend was badly hurt in a motorcycle accident. His friend was worried he’d never be able to play his guitar again, so Zacharias decided to find a new way to make music available to him. While his friend didn’t end up needing EyeHarp, Zacharias was on a mission to help others who thought music was forever lost to them. These are people who are so disabled that they don’t have the opportunity to do many things and learning music through EyeHarp gives them happiness, the purpose and the opportunity to play music. Zacharias agreed, saying that music builds social connections and raises self-esteem. He’s currently training music teachers to use EyeHarp so they can reach even more people with disabilities. This invention has the potential for changing so many lives. Hundreds of people with disabilities have used EyeHarp. “There wasn’t any instrument they could play. But now, they’re able to make their own music,” says Zacharias. “I hope it will light up the lives of more people like them.” 38. What is EyeHarp? A. A musical instrument played with disabled minds. B. A device that helps people play music with their eyes. C. A musical game using eye-tracking technology. D. A medical tool for improving ones’eyesight. 39. For what reason did Zacharias create the appliance? A. His love for music and technology. B. A need for a new form of musical therapy. C. A desire to help his musician friend. D. A sympathy towards people with disabilities. 40. How does EyeHarp work according to the passage? A. By tracking the movement of players’ hands. B. By detecting the sound of a music note. C. By following the stay of the gaze on the screen. D. By recognizing the face of a disabled user. 41. What can we infer about EyeHarp from the passage? A. It is very difficult to play. B. It can be used by anyone easily. C. It has limited musical notes. D. It brings hope to many disabled people. D Animals and people have been living together for thousands of years, but the past 100 years have been extraordinary in the amount of change in those relationships. In the last 100 years, people have markedly changed their perceptions (认知), their relationships, and their uses of animals and animal products. Many of these changes have occurred in our lifetimes. Some of us grew up on farms and had considerable contact with livestock and wildlife. We knew that dairy cows were kept to provide milk and meat. Beef cattle and pigs were slaughtered (屠宰) to provide food, and chickens provided eggs as well as meat. Wildlife, living on the farm or nearby, was often hunted by farm families to provide meat and skins. Even though we understood, or perhaps because we understood the primary role of animals in our lives, we were often in a close relationship that gave us a perspective of our interdependence and the nature of life and death in our ecosystem. Today, less than 1% of families in the US are engaged in raising livestock; few children have seen or experienced the cycle of life and death of livestock or plants; few know first-hand where their milk, cheese, eggs, meat, vegetables and fruit actually come from. One hundred years ago, nearly all dogs were kept for herding, pulling power, hunting, tracking, or protection and were seldom allowed in the house, almost never in the bedroom. Today most dogs in the US are kept in the house for companionship and only occasionally kept for work. Current studies also show that 60 to 80% of dogs sleep with their owners at night in the bedroom, either in or on the bed. This indicates the closeness of a relationship and is a major change in our attitudes towards treating pets as family. Today the media and most people consider pets as part of their families. Today we have multinational and multicultural ‘recognition of the mutual benefits of the human-animal bond to health and spirit. Animals offer companionship—someone to talk to who will not criticize. They are living responding beings to touch or hug with emotion. Animals keep us alert and help fulfill our need to nurture and comfort others. 42. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor contributing to the changes in people’s attitude towards animals? A. The decline in the number of farming families. B. The increased use of technology in animal breeding. C. The lack of children’s exposure to animal life cycles. D. The changes in the use of animals in daily lives. 43. According to paragraph 3, what can be learned about dogs? A. In the past, dogs can be kept as a companion. B. Dogs are good helpers to hunt for small animals. C. Dogs can be trained to work as a safety guard. D. Nowadays dogs are not as helpful as before. 44. Based on the passage, what benefits do animals provide to humans nowadays? A. Animals provide food and clothing for human beings. B. Animals offer companionship and emotional support. C. Animals are primarily used for entertainment purposes. D. Animals help fulfill human desires for power and control. 45. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. The Changing Status of human-animal Bond. B. Hunting for Food: the nature of life and death. C. The process of domesticating dogs as pets. D. Livestock farming: a thing of the past. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共25分） 注意事项： 1.请用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2.本卷共16小题，共35分。 第一部分 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Eradajere Oleita Thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from. Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than toss (抛，扔) your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless. Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding (填料) and liners from old coats to line the insides. It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita, whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life—and her fellow volunteers. “We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says. And, of course, there’s the symbolism of salvaging (废物利用) bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com: “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.” 46. According to paragraph 1, what is the Chip Bag Project about? (no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 47. The underlined word “sanitize” can be replaced by _________. (no more than I word) 48. What do Oleita’s sleeping bags feature like?

What is the significance of the Chip Bag Project beyond just providing sleeping bags for the homeless?

However, her parents were skeptical; despite their daughter’s success in a number of local talent contests. Eager to see her perform in a club setting, Dr. Molinsky had his comedian-wanna-be daughter booked at the family’s beach club, which is Joan’s first dinner engagement. Miss Molinsky started her act with a funny song, but the audiences’ attention span lasted only as long as it took the dessert carts to visit their tables. In a matter of no time, the 300 people in attendance had resumed any and all conversations they’d had prior to the pretty’s introduction on stage. Heartbroken and ignored, Joan grounded her way through and uttered a polite “thank you” at the end of her final song. She burst into the nearby kitchen, teary-eyed with embarrassment. Her parents were also embarrassed and reinforced their belief that Joan had no future in entertainment. Dr. Molinsky told Joan to give up her dream of comedy and pursue a more realistic career choice. His daughter went ballistic. “I don’t care what you say!” She screamed at her father. “I do have talent. It’s my life. It’s my choice how I live it.” The fight eventually resulted in Joan moving out of her family’s home and taking up a temporary work, while pursuing her dreams with a variety of troupes (剧团) and shows. Her dedication eventually led to a job in California as a writer and on-air “bait girl” for Candid Camera (隐蔽摄像机). Despite her growing role on the show, host Allen Funt never could remember her first name, calling her everything from Jeri to Jeannie to Jackie. It was during her time with Candid Camera that Joan received a call from The Tonight Show, whom she had longed for over a year for a guest shot. They wanted her to appear with Johnny Carson. Once on stage, Joan and Carson hit it off immediately. In the end, Carson wiped tears of laughter from his eyes and said aloud to his millions of viewers, “God, you’re funny. You’re going to be a star.” The next day, dozens of appearance offers flooded in from all over the country, putting. Joan on comedy’s A-list. She also resigned from Candid Camera that day, much to the regret of an angry Funt. From that point on, no one would ever misidentify or underestimate Joan Rivers again. 34. What was Joan’s first dinner engagement like? A. It made her famous overnight. B. She was constantly interrupted by the audience. C. The audience gave her a lasting encouragement. D. Few paid much attention to what she performed. 35. What does the underlined word “ballistic” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Confident. B. Excited. C. Angry. D. Compassionate. 36.

Dr. Zacharias Vamvakousis has come up with a creative way to improve the quality of life for countless people through the power of music. His invention is called EyeHarp, which enables individuals to make music using their gaze (注视) instead of their hands. “EyeHarp is the first musical application that allows people with disabilities to play music with eyes or head movements,” Zacharias explains. “Using an eye tracker, you can make melodies by looking at the notes on the screen.” EyeHarp uses the same type of digital eye-tracking technology used in some computer games. But instead of using it to aim weapons at digital opponents, EyeHarp uses it to track your eyes as they stay on different musical notes on a colorful circle on your computer screen. The application allows you to play three to four notes every second. However, users have to be careful not to move their eyes too quickly from one musical note to the next. So, much like any other instrument, playing a tune takes practice and concentration. Zacharias was inspired to create the magical application after a musician friend was badly hurt in a motorcycle accident. His friend was worried he’d never be able to play his guitar again, so Zacharias decided to find a new way to make music available to him. While his friend didn’t end up needing EyeHarp, Zacharias was on a mission to help others who thought music was forever lost to them. These are people who are so disabled that they don’t have the opportunity to do many things and learning music through EyeHarp gives them happiness, the purpose and the opportunity to play music. Zacharias agreed, saying that music builds social connections and raises self-esteem. He’s currently training music teachers to use EyeHarp so they can reach even more people with disabilities. This invention has the potential for changing so many lives. Hundreds of people with disabilities have used EyeHarp. “There wasn’t any instrument they could play. But now, they’re able to make their own music,” says Zacharias. “I hope it will light up the lives of more people like them.” 38. What is EyeHarp? A. A musical instrument played with disabled minds. B. A device that helps people play music with their eyes. C. A musical game using eye-tracking technology. D A medical tool for improving ones’eyesight. 39. For what reason did Zacharias create the appliance? A. His love for music and technology. B. A need for a new form of musical therapy. C. A desire to help his musician friend. D. A sympathy towards people with disabilities. 40. How does EyeHarp work according to the passage? A. By tracking the movement of players’ hands. B. By detecting the sound of a music note. C. By following the stay of the gaze on the screen. D. By recognizing the face of a disabled user. 41. What can we infer about EyeHarp from the passage? A. It is very difficult to play. B. It can be used by anyone easily. C. It has limited musical notes. D. It brings hope to many disabled people. 【答案】38. B 39. C 40. C 41. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Zacharias Vamvakousis博士发明了“EyeHarp”这款应用程序，这使人能够用他们的目光而不是他们的手来制作音乐，尤其是残疾人。他希望通过自己制作的音乐能够点亮这些人的生活。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“His invention is called EyeHarp, which enables individuals to make music using their gaze instead of their hands.

(EyeHarp使用了一些电脑游戏中使用的相同类型的数字眼球追踪技术。)”以及“…EyeHarp uses it to track your eyes as they stay on different musical notes on a colorful circle on your computer screen (当你的眼睛停留在电脑屏幕上一个彩色圆圈上的不同音符上时，EyeHarp就用追踪技术来跟踪你眼睛的停留)”可知，EyeHarp使用了数字眼球追踪技术，当眼睛停留在电脑屏幕上的彩色圆圈上的不同音符上，追踪就发生了，即，它是通过跟随使用者在屏幕上的注视来完成音乐创作的。故选C项。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第七段内容“This invention has the potential for changing so many lives. Hundreds of people with disabilities have used EyeHarp. (这项发明有可能改变很多人的生活。数百名残疾人使用了EyeHarp。)”以及末尾段内容“‘There wasn’t any instrument they could play. But now, they’re able to make their own music,’says Zacharias. ‘I hope it will light up the lives of more people like them.’ (Zacharias说：“以前没有任何他们能演奏的乐器。但现在，他们能够制作自己的音乐了。”“我希望它能照亮更多像他们这样的人的生活。”)”可知，已经有数百名残疾人使用了EyeHarp，这款程序可以使他们创作自己的音乐，可以照亮他们的生活。由此可推知，这款程序给残疾人带来了希望。故选D项。 D Animals and people have been living together for thousands of years, but the past 100 years have been extraordinary in the amount of change in those relationships. In the last 100 years, people have markedly changed their perceptions (认知), their relationships, and their uses of animals and animal products. Many of these changes have occurred in our lifetimes. Some of us grew up on farms and had considerable contact with livestock and wildlife. We knew that dairy cows were kept to provide milk and meat. Beef cattle and pigs were slaughtered (屠宰) to provide food, and chickens provided eggs as well as meat. Wildlife, living on the farm or nearby, was often hunted by farm families to provide meat and skins. Even though we understood, or perhaps because we understood the primary role of animals in our lives, we were often in a close relationship that gave us a perspective of our interdependence and the nature of life and death in our ecosystem. Today, less than 1% of families in the US are engaged in raising livestock; few children have seen or experienced the cycle of life and death of livestock or plants; few know first-hand where their milk, cheese, eggs, meat, vegetables and fruit actually come from. One hundred years ago, nearly all dogs were kept for herding, pulling power, hunting, tracking, or protection and were seldom allowed in the house, almost never in the bedroom. Today most dogs in the US are kept in the house for companionship and only occasionally kept for work. Current studies also show that 60 to 80% of dogs sleep with their owners at night in the bedroom, either in or on the bed. This indicates the closeness of a relationship and is a major change in our attitudes towards treating pets as family. Today the media and most people consider pets as part of their families. Today we have multinational and multicultural ‘recognition of the mutual benefits of the human-animal bond to health and spirit. Animals offer companionship—someone to talk to who will not criticize. They are living responding beings to touch or hug with emotion. Animals keep us alert and help fulfill our need to nurture and comfort others. 42. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor contributing to the changes in people’s attitude towards animals? A. The decline in the number of farming families. B. The increased use of technology in animal breeding. C. The lack of children’s exposure to animal life cycles. D. The changes in the use of animals in daily lives. 43. According to paragraph 3, what can be learned about dogs? A. In the past, dogs can be kept as a companion. B. Dogs are good helpers to hunt for small animals. C. Dogs can be trained to work as a safety guard. D. Nowadays dogs are not as helpful as before. 44. Based on the passage, what benefits do animals provide to humans nowadays? A. Animals provide food and clothing for human beings. B. Animals offer companionship and emotional support. C Animals are primarily used for entertainment purposes. D. Animals help fulfill human desires for power and control. 45. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. The Changing Status of human-animal Bond. B. Hunting for Food: the nature of life and death. C. The process of domesticating dogs as pets. D. Livestock farming: a thing of the past. 【答案】42. B 43. C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁属于说明文。作者描述了人类与动物之间关系的历史变迁，以及这种变化如何影响了人们对于动物的认知和使用。文章提供了关于过去和现在人类与动物互动的具体例子，以及这些变化背后的一些社会和文化因素。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Some of us grew up on farms and had considerable contact with livestock and wildlife. We knew that dairy cows were kept to provide milk and meat. Beef cattle and pigs were slaughtered (屠宰) to provide food, and chickens provided eggs as well as meat. Wildlife, living on the farm or nearby, was often hunted by farm families to provide meat and skins.

(我们中的一些人在农场长大，与牲畜和野生动物有相当多的接触。我们知道人们饲养奶牛是为了提供牛奶和肉。屠宰肉牛和猪(屠宰)提供食物，鸡提供鸡蛋和肉。生活在农场或附近的野生动物经常被农场家庭猎杀，以提供肉和皮。即使我们了解，或者可能是因为我们了解动物在我们生活中的主要作用，我们经常处于一种亲密的关系中，这让我们看到了我们相互依存的角度，以及生态系统中生死的本质。如今，美国只有不到1%的家庭从事畜牧业；很少有儿童看到或经历过牲畜或植物的生死循环；很少有人直接知道他们的牛奶、奶酪、鸡蛋、肉类、蔬菜和水果究竟来自哪里)”可知，农业家庭数量的减少和儿童缺乏对动物生命周期的接触是导致人们对动物态度变化的因素。据文章第三段“One hundred years ago, nearly all dogs were kept for herding, pulling power, hunting, tracking, or protection and were seldom allowed in the house, almost never in the bedroom. Today most dogs in the US are kept in the house for companionship and only occasionally kept for work.

(一百年前，几乎所有的狗都是用来放牧、拉扯、打猎、追踪或保护的，很少被允许进入房子，几乎从不进入卧室。今天，在美国，大多数狗都是被养在家里作伴的，只是偶尔为了工作而被养。目前的研究还表明，60%到80%的狗晚上会和主人一起睡在卧室里，要么在床上，要么在床上。这表明了一种亲密的关系，是我们对待宠物的态度的一个重大变化。今天，媒体和大多数人都把宠物视为家庭的一部分)”可知，动物在日常生活使用中的变化，是导致人们对动物态度变化的因素。只有选项B未被提及。故选B。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。据文章第三段“One hundred years ago, nearly all dogs were kept for herding, pulling power, hunting, tracking, or protection and were seldom allowed in the house, almost never in the bedroom.

(今天，媒体和大多数人都把宠物视为家庭的一部分)”可知，动物给人类提供的是陪伴和情感支持。故选B。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Animals and people have been living together for thousands of years, but the past 100 years have been extraordinary in the amount of change in those relationships. In the last 100 years, people have markedly changed their perceptions (认知), their relationships, and their uses of animals and animal products. Many of these changes have occurred in our lifetimes. (动物和人类已经共同生活了数千年，但在过去的100年里，这些关系发生了巨大的变化。在过去的100年里，人们已经显著改变了他们的观念(认知)，他们的关系，以及他们对动物和动物产品的使用。许多这样的变化都发生在我们的有生之年。)”可知，整篇文章讨论了人与动物关系的变化，特别是在过去100年间的变化，包括人们对动物的态度、动物在人们生活中的角色以及动物为人类提供的福利等方面。因此，最合适的标题是选项A“The Changing Status of human-animal Bond. (人与动物关系的变化状态)”。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共25分） 注意事项： 1.请用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2.本卷共16小题，共35分。 第一部分 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Eradajere Oleita Thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from. Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than toss (抛，扔) your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless. Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding (填料) and liners from old coats to line the insides. It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita, whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life—and her fellow volunteers. “We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says. And, of course, there’s the symbolism of salvaging (废物利用) bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com: “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.” 46. According to paragraph 1, what is the Chip Bag Project about? (no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 47. The underlined word “sanitize” can be replaced by _________. (no more than I word) 48. What do Oleita’s sleeping bags feature like? (no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 49. What is the significance of the Chip Bag Project beyond just providing sleeping bags for the homeless? (no more than 20 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 50. Which word would you use to best describe Eradajere Oleita? And why? (no more than 20 words) _____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. The project is to turn empty chip bags into sleeping bags for the homeless. 47. Clean 48. They are featured with their waterproof, lightweight, and easy-to-carry design. 49. To make an impact not only socially but also environmentally by reminding that environmental injustice and poverty often go together. 50. Innovative, because she found a creative solution to address garbage and poverty. 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁属于新闻报道。文章围绕一个名为“薯片袋项目”的环保和社会公益活动进行了详细报道，介绍了该项目的发起人Eradajere Oleita如何通过回收和利用废弃的薯片袋来制作睡袋，帮助无家可归者，并强调了环保与消除贫困之间的紧密联系。 【46题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from. Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than toss (抛，扔) your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless. (它被称为薯片袋计划。这位26岁的学生和环保主义者来自。底特律正在请求当地小吃爱好者帮个忙:与其把你的空薯片袋扔进垃圾桶，不如把它们捐给她，让她把它们变成无家可归者的睡袋。)”可知，Chip Bag Project 是一个项目，旨在收集空的薯片袋，将它们制成睡袋供无家可归者使用。故答案为：The project is to turn empty chip bags into sleeping bags for the homeless. 【47题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第二段中的“the chip bags in soapy hot water (在含肥皂的热水中)”可知，sanitize在这里指的是清洗薯片袋的过程，确保它们干净卫生。一个合适的替换词是clean“使……干净”。故答案为：Clean。 【48题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News. (Oleita在接受《底特律新闻报》采访时表示，这种睡袋“防水、轻便、便于携带”。)”可知，Oleita 制作的睡袋的特点是防水、轻便、易于携带。故答案为：They are featured with their waterproof, lightweight, and easy-to-carry design. 【49题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的““We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.(她说：“我们致力于不仅对社会，而且对环境产生影响。”)”和最后一段中的“It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. (它有力地提醒我们，环境不公正和贫困往往是密切相关的。)”可知，除了提供睡袋之外，该项目还具有环保和社会影响力的意义，提醒人们环境不公与贫困之间的联系。故答案为：To make an impact not only socially but also environmentally by reminding that environmental injustice and poverty often go together. 【50题详解】 开放性问题。根据全文内容，可以使用innovative“创新的”这个词来形容 Oleita，因为她想出了一个创新的方法来解决两个问题。故答案为： Innovative, because she found a creative solution to address garbage and poverty. 第二部分 书面表达（满分15分） 51. 假设你是晨光中学的李津。在你校学访交流的外国学生Chris看到学校通知栏公示的体质监测的数据，了解到同学们的体质变化，很感兴趣，也略有不解；特意写信向你询问，请你给他写一封回信，内容要点应包括： 1. 描述数据变化，并分析相关现象的成因； 2. 回应不解，并提出解决措施； 3. 展望未来。 晨光中学2020-2022年体质监测数据公示 2020 2021 2022 近视率 80.1% 81.4% 86.7% 长跑优良率 46.8% 45.2% 41.2% 注意： 1.词数100左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 参考词汇：近视：nearsightedness；体质监测数据：physical fitness data Dear Chris, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I hope this letter finds you well. I was delighted to learn of your interest in our school’s physical fitness data, as displayed on the notice board. Let me share some insights into the trends and their possible explanations. Firstly, the notice reveals a concerning upward trend in nearsightedness rates, increasing from 80.1% in 2020 to 86.7% in 2022. This can be attributed to several factors, primarily the increased screen time due to online learning and entertainment during the pandemic, coupled with less outdoor activities and insufficient eye breaks. The decline in long-distance running excellence rates, from 46.8% to 41.2% over the same period, further underscores the decline in overall physical fitness among our students. This might stem from reduced physical education classes, busy schedules, and perhaps a lack of motivation to engage in regular exercise. In this case, I believe a multi-faceted approach is necessary. Firstly, we should encourage students to adopt healthier digital habits. Secondly, promoting outdoor activities and sports clubs can significantly contribute to improving both vision and physical fitness. Looking ahead, we aim to integrate more physical activities into our curriculum and create a supportive environment that fosters a love for sports and healthy living.
