There is an element of surprise as the food comes in a lucky “magic bag”, each costing a third of the sale price. Olio Founded in 2015, Olio claims to be the world’s biggest food-sharing network.

Neighbors receive customized messages and can request anything they fancy, with pick-up arranged through private messaging. Kitche Kitche handled food waste in the home by helping users to keep track of what they have bought and plan meals accordingly. Users scan receipts or upload online receipts stored on their phones. The app will then tap into its recipe bank to plan meals based on the food you have, reminding you of items nearing use-by dates.

With the press of a button, his latest rap track fills the room. “I didn’t know spaces like this existed,” says Mylo, who grew up in the low-income neighborhood of Dorchester. He is one of the youngest musicians who, thanks to The Record Co. , has turned his music into a full-time occupation. Founded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Record Co. aims to give musicians more affordable access to the creative workspace and introduce the world of music to those who may have never considered their place in it. McArthur understands this challenge firsthand. As a music technology student at Berklee College of Music he was frustrated by the high costs of renting time in production studios. On average, a recording studio in Boston costs more than $100 per hour to rent. He saw a recording studio not as a private office for a man of means but as a community center available to all. So he took out loans, collected donations and opened a studio in a tiny basement in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Slowly but steadily, McArthur expanded it and eventually rented a new property to include spaces for practice and production. Today, The Record Co., with a full-time staff of more than 20 people, is a state-of-the art, 12,000-foot facility that can be rented for as little as $10 per hour. Each month, it receives about 1,000 reservations, and around 3,500 musicians pass through its doors. At The Record Co., the principle is clear: Music should be affordable for everyone, and so should the space for creating it. The building has been shaped not only with an ear to acoustics(音响效果)but also with an eye to ensure it is as welcoming to a musician in a wheelchair as to one who walks in with a guitar over the shoulder. 4. Why did McArthur found The Record Co.? A. To make musicians well-known. B. To make a fortune through music. C. To persuade people to pursue music. D. To make music production affordable. 5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Provide some advice for musicians. B. Add some background information. C. Summarize the previous paragraphs. D. Launch an appeal for musical creation. 6. What does the underlined word “means” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Wealth. B. Method. C. Vision. D. Determination 7 Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Bring Boston’s music to the world B. Turn music into a full-time occupation C. A recording studio has advanced facilities D. Music belongs to everyone at The Record Co. C Every year, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22, and people all around the world celebrate this day by taking part in environmental awareness activities and working towards raising awareness about important issues that our planet Earth is currently facing, like global warming and pollution. Before the 1970s, there were almost no environmental laws and industries were allowed to dump their industrial waste and fumes anywhere in the world. A US Senator by the name of Gaylord Nelson was concerned about the growing levels of pollution. So in the spring of 1970, Senator Nelson created Earth Day as a way to promote awareness about these issues in the US. His plan was successful, as 20 million Americans started a demonstration (示威游行) for Earth Day around the world. As a result, the US government started an agency called the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Over the next few years, the movement spread across the world and Earth Day became internationally recognized. The theme of Earth Day 2021 is “restore our Earth”. The focus of this year’s theme is restoring Earth’s natural processes and ecosystems. Apart from that, the goal of this year’s Earth Day is to focus on taking green technologies and innovative (创新的) actions to restore the Earth’s natural ecosystem. More than stopping pollution and global warming, this year’s Earth Day focuses on reversing the damage caused to the Earth. Despite strict environmental laws in many countries across the world, problems such as global warming, air pollution and climate change continue to threaten our planet. Many scientists around the world are warning us about the already irreversible problems that have been created by microplastics, oil spills and depletion (消耗) of the ozone layer. If the human race continues on the same path as before, the extinction of the human race is not too far off in the future. Earth Day seeks to help raise people’s awareness around the world about these issues and bring positive changes, so future generations stand a chance of living a safer life. 8. Which activity is suitable to celebrate Earth Day? A. Plastic waste collection. B. A long-distance bicycle race. C. A lecture about human rights. D. Medical research on cancers. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The history of Earth Day. B. The success of Gaylord Nelson. C. Environmental changes in the 1970s. D. The establishment of environmental laws. 10. What is special about Earth Day of 2021? A. It helps to slow down global warming. B. It aims to bring the Earth back to normal. C. It focuses on reducing individuals’ carbon footprint. D. It promotes the development of emerging industries. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To predict the future of the Earth. B. To describe our terrible living environment. C. To state the progress in protecting the Earth. D. To increase people’s awareness of Earth Day. D Manta rays (魔鬼鱼) are some of the creatures in the ocean who allow divers to swim right up to and interact (与……互动) with them. Unfortunately, these gentle animals are in big trouble. Since 2011, manta rays have been listed as a threatened species worldwide. Peru, a country in South America, recently took a big step to protect giant manta rays: It banned fishing for them. Although 12 other countries have passed laws to protect rays, Peru’s may be the most important one yet. That’s because there are more manta rays in the Pacific Ocean near Peru than in any other place in the world. Giant manta rays are unusual-looking creatures. The giant, flat rays are typically about 4. 5 meters wide and can grow up to 8 meters wide! “They’re sort of like giant flying carpets underwater, ” says Joshua Stewart of the Manta Trust, an organization that researches manta rays. People catch rays for their meat. Overfishing is bad for any sea creature, but it’s even worse for manta rays. Female manta rays usually have only one baby, every two to five years. So every ray that’s caught hurts the population in a big way. People who break Peru’s new law can be fined or have their fishing licenses taken away. Even rays caught accidentally in fishing nets must be set free. Earlier this year, the Manta Trust attached video cameras, called Crittercams, to manta rays off the west coast of Mexico. The footage (连续镜头) the cameras collect could help researchers predict where rays swim and when. The scientists could use the information to warn fishing boats to avoid these areas, helping reduce the number of accidentally caught rays. Stewart says it’s important to protect these unique creatures. “There’s really no other animal that compares in size that you can have interactions with in the wild.” 12. What’s a characteristic of manta rays? A. They are very friendly to people. B. They are usually of small size. C. They can fly like a bird. D. They like swimming up and down. 13. What’s the current situation of manta rays? A. Their habitats are badly damaged. B. They only live in the Pacific Ocean. C. Fewer and fewer female rays give birth. D. Their number has dropped greatly. 14. What’s the Manta Trust also trying to do besides doing research on manta rays? A. Look for more rays. B. Protect them. C. Make films about them. D. Reduce their population. 15. How does Stewart feel about Peru’s new law? A. It makes no sense. B. It is hard to follow. C It is really essential. D. It needs improvement. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The 24 solar terms are part of the traditional Chinese calendar.

Since Jennifer couldn’t afford a nanny (保姆), her neighbors always gladly stepped in to care for the brother and sister in her absence. Mia and Max were absolute sweethearts. They would help the neighbors in the garden, walk their dogs, and carry groceries from their cars to their homes. “Mom says we should always help others in need!” Mia would say, and Max would agree with her with a broad smile. “Because a little help goes a long way!” he would add. The two lovely children warmed the entire neighborhood with their sweet smiles and kind hearts. Everything was all right until one day Max fell down on the playground and was rushed to hospital. Sadly, it turned out he was very sick and needed some specific medicines to keep him going. “That’s going to cost a lot of money!” Jennifer sighed. But she didn’t tell anyone that she was in trouble. She began setting aside money each month for Max’s treatment. Obviously, with her poor pay as a waitress in a bar, she couldn’t save enough. She began cutting down on money for gas and even food. She would walk miles every day to and from work and go to the grocery stores as less often as possible. One night, Jennifer came home and opened the fridge, only to find they had just one can of tomato soup left. “I’m a total failure as a mother,” she cried, blaming (责备) herself. “I can’t even feed my children!” Finally, Jennifer added extra water to the soup and served it to her children, who enjoyed their dinner as happily as usual.

He is one of the youngest musicians who, thanks to The Record Co. , has turned his music into a full-time occupation. Founded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Record Co. aims to give musicians more affordable access to the creative workspace and introduce the world of music to those who may have never considered their place in it. McArthur understands this challenge firsthand. As a music technology student at Berklee College of Music, he was frustrated by the high costs of renting time in production studios. On average, a recording studio in Boston costs more than $100 per hour to rent. He saw a recording studio not as a private office for a man of means but as a community center available to all. So he took out loans, collected donations and opened a studio in a tiny basement in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Slowly but steadily, McArthur expanded it and eventually rented a new property to include spaces for practice and production. Today, The Record Co., with a full-time staff of more than 20 people, is a state-of-the art, 12,000-foot facility that can be rented for as little as $10 per hour. Each month, it receives about 1,000 reservations, and around 3,500 musicians pass through its doors. At The Record Co., the principle is clear: Music should be affordable for everyone, and so should the space for creating it. The building has been shaped not only with an ear to acoustics(音响效果)but also with an eye to ensure it is as welcoming to a musician in a wheelchair as to one who walks in with a guitar over the shoulder. 4. Why did McArthur found The Record Co.? A. To make musicians well-known. B. To make a fortune through music. C. To persuade people to pursue music. D. To make music production affordable. 5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Provide some advice for musicians. B. Add some background information. C. Summarize the previous paragraphs. D. Launch an appeal for musical creation. 6. What does the underlined word “means” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Wealth. B. Method. C. Vision. D. Determination 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Bring Boston’s music to the world B. Turn music into a full-time occupation C. A recording studio has advanced facilities D. Music belongs to everyone at The Record Co. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了McArthur创建所有人都负担得起的录音室TheRecord Co.的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Founded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Record Co. aims to give musicians more affordable access to the creative workspace and introduce the world of music to those who may have never considered their place in it.(The Record Co.由马特·麦克阿瑟（Matt McArthur）于2010年创立，旨在让音乐家更实惠地进入创意工作区，并将音乐世界介绍给那些可能从未考虑过自己在其中的地位的人。)”可知，McArthur创建The Record Co.是为了给音乐家提供更实惠的创作场所。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。通读第三段“McArthur understands this challenge firsthand. As a music technology student at Berklee College of Music, he was frustrated by the high costs of renting time in production studios. On average, a recording studio in Boston costs more than $100 per hour to rent.(麦克阿瑟亲身体会到了这一挑战。作为伯克利音乐学院音乐技术专业的学生，他对在制作工作室租用时间的高昂成本感到沮丧。波士顿的录音棚平均每小时租金超过100美元。)”可知，该段介绍了一些背景信息：McArthur创建录音室面临着挑战。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“He saw a recording studio not as a private office for a man of means but as a community center available to all. (他认为录音室不是有 人的私人办公室，而是所有人都可以使用的社区中心。)”可知，画线词means应该意为“财富”，与A项wealth意义一致。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Founded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Record Co. aims to give musicians more affordable access to the creative workspace and introduce the world of music to those who may have never considered their place in it.(The Record Co.由马特·麦克阿瑟（Matt McArthur）于2010年创立，旨在让音乐家更实惠地进入创意工作区，并将音乐世界介绍给那些可能从未考虑过自己在其中的地位的人。)”以及上下文可知，本文讲述了McArthur创建所有人都负担得起的录音室The Record Co.的故事。故D项Music belongs to everyone at The Record Co.(音乐属于唱片公司的每一个人。)适合作为本文标题。故选D项。 C Every year, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22, and people all around the world celebrate this day by taking part in environmental awareness activities and working towards raising awareness about important issues that our planet Earth is currently facing, like global warming and pollution. Before the 1970s, there were almost no environmental laws and industries were allowed to dump their industrial waste and fumes anywhere in the world. A US Senator by the name of Gaylord Nelson was concerned about the growing levels of pollution. So in the spring of 1970, Senator Nelson created Earth Day as a way to promote awareness about these issues in the US. His plan was successful, as 20 million Americans started a demonstration (示威游行) for Earth Day around the world. As a result, the US government started an agency called the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Over the next few years, the movement spread across the world and Earth Day became internationally recognized. The theme of Earth Day 2021 is “restore our Earth”. The focus of this year’s theme is restoring Earth’s natural processes and ecosystems. Apart from that, the goal of this year’s Earth Day is to focus on taking green technologies and innovative (创新的) actions to restore the Earth’s natural ecosystem. More than stopping pollution and global warming, this year’s Earth Day focuses on reversing the damage caused to the Earth. Despite strict environmental laws in many countries across the world, problems such as global warming, air pollution and climate change continue to threaten our planet. Many scientists around the world are warning us about the already irreversible problems that have been created by microplastics, oil spills and depletion (消耗) of the ozone layer. If the human race continues on the same path as before, the extinction of the human race is not too far off in the future. Earth Day seeks to help raise people’s awareness around the world about these issues and bring positive changes, so future generations stand a chance of living a safer life. 8. Which activity is suitable to celebrate Earth Day? A. Plastic waste collection. B. A long-distance bicycle race. C. A lecture about human rights. D. Medical research on cancers. 9 What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The history of Earth Day. B. The success of Gaylord Nelson. C. Environmental changes in the 1970s. D. The establishment of environmental laws. 10. What is special about Earth Day of 2021? A. It helps to slow down global warming. B. It aims to bring the Earth back to normal. C. It focuses on reducing individuals’ carbon footprint. D. It promotes the development of emerging industries. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To predict the future of the Earth. B. To describe our terrible living environment. C. To state the progress in protecting the Earth. D. To increase people’s awareness of Earth Day. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11.

Unfortunately, these gentle animals are in big trouble. Since 2011, manta rays have been listed as a threatened species worldwide. Peru, a country in South America, recently took a big step to protect giant manta rays: It banned fishing for them. Although 12 other countries have passed laws to protect rays, Peru’s may be the most important one yet. That’s because there are more manta rays in the Pacific Ocean near Peru than in any other place in the world. Giant manta rays are unusual-looking creatures. The giant, flat rays are typically about 4. 5 meters wide and can grow up to 8 meters wide! “They’re sort of like giant flying carpets underwater, ” says Joshua Stewart of the Manta Trust, an organization that researches manta rays. People catch rays for their meat. Overfishing is bad for any sea creature, but it’s even worse for manta rays. Female manta rays usually have only one baby, every two to five years. So every ray that’s caught hurts the population in a big way. People who break Peru’s new law can be fined or have their fishing licenses taken away. Even rays caught accidentally in fishing nets must be set free. Earlier this year, the Manta Trust attached video cameras, called Crittercams, to manta rays off the west coast of Mexico. The footage (连续镜头) the cameras collect could help researchers predict where rays swim and when. The scientists could use the information to warn fishing boats to avoid these areas, helping reduce the number of accidentally caught rays. Stewart says it’s important to protect these unique creatures. “There’s really no other animal that compares in size that you can have interactions with in the wild.” 12. What’s a characteristic of manta rays? A. They are very friendly to people. B. They are usually of small size. C. They can fly like a bird. D. They like swimming up and down. 13. What’s the current situation of manta rays? A. Their habitats are badly damaged. B. They only live in the Pacific Ocean. C. Fewer and fewer female rays give birth. D. Their number has dropped greatly. 14. What’s the Manta Trust also trying to do besides doing research on manta rays? A. Look for more rays. B. Protect them. C. Make films about them. D. Reduce their population. 15. How does Stewart feel about Peru’s new law? A. It makes no sense. B. It is hard to follow. C. It is really essential. D. It needs improvement. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了秘鲁最新颁布的一项关于禁止捕捞魔鬼鱼（蝠鲼）的法律。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Manta rays (魔鬼鱼) are some of the creatures in the ocean who allow divers to swim right up to and interact (与……互动) with them. Unfortunately, these gentle animals are in big trouble. (魔鬼鱼是海洋中的一些生物，它们可以让潜水员直接游到自己身边并与之互动。不幸的是，这些温和的动物遇到了大麻烦。)”可知，魔鬼鱼是一种性情温和的海洋生物。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Since 2011, manta rays have been listed as a threatened species worldwide. (自2011年以来，魔鬼鱼已被列为全球濒危物种。)”和第四段“Overfishing is bad for any sea creature, but it’s even worse for manta rays. Female manta rays usually have only one baby, every two to five years. So every ray that’s caught hurts the population in a big way. (过度捕捞对任何海洋生物都不好，但对魔鬼鱼来说更糟。雌性魔鬼鱼通常每两到五年只有一个孩子。因此，捕捉到的每一条魔鬼鱼都在很大程度上伤害了它们的种群。)”可知，由于过度捕捞和低繁殖率，魔鬼鱼的数量已急剧减少。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Earlier this year, the Manta Trust attached video cameras, called Crittercams, to manta rays off the west coast of Mexico. The footage (连续镜头) the cameras collect could help researchers predict where rays swim and when.

(今年早些时候，曼塔信托基金会在墨西哥西海岸为魔鬼鱼安装了名为Crittercams的摄像机。摄像机收集的镜头可以帮助研究人员预测魔鬼鱼在哪里以及何时游动。科学家们可以利用这些信息警告渔船避开这些区域，帮助减少意外捕获的魔鬼鱼数量。)”可知，该组织通过追踪魔鬼鱼的行踪来提醒附近的渔民，以减少被意外捕捞的魔鬼鱼的数量，这也是对魔鬼鱼的一种保护。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Stewart says it’s important to protect these unique creatures. “There’s really no other animal that compares in size that you can have interactions with in the wild.”(斯图尔特说，保护这些独特的生物很重要。“在野外，真的没有其他动物的体型可以与之相比。”)”可知，斯图尔特认为，秘鲁颁布这项关于禁止捕捞魔鬼鱼的法律来保护这些独特的生物很重要。故选C。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The 24 solar terms are part of the traditional Chinese calendar.

Since Jennifer couldn’t afford a nanny (保姆), her neighbors always gladly stepped in to care for the brother and sister in her absence. Mia and Max were absolute sweethearts. They would help the neighbors in the garden, walk their dogs, and carry groceries from their cars to their homes. “Mom says we should always help others in need!” Mia would say, and Max would agree with her with a broad smile. “Because a little help goes a long way!” he would add. The two lovely children warmed the entire neighborhood with their sweet smiles and kind hearts. Everything was all right until one day Max fell down on the playground and was rushed to hospital. Sadly, it turned out he was very sick and needed some specific medicines to keep him going. “That’s going to cost a lot of money!” Jennifer sighed. But she didn’t tell anyone that she was in trouble. She began setting aside money each month for Max’s treatment. Obviously, with her poor pay as a waitress in a bar, she couldn’t save enough. She began cutting down on money for gas and even food. She would walk miles every day to and from work and go to the grocery stores as less often as possible. One night, Jennifer came home and opened the fridge, only to find they had just one can of tomato soup left. “I’m a total failure as a mother,” she cried, blaming (责备) herself. “I can’t even feed my children!” Finally, Jennifer added extra water to the soup and served it to her children, who enjoyed their dinner as happily as usual. As soon as her children left the table, Jennifer burst into tears again, little knowing a pleasant surprise was waving at her and her kids. 注意： 1.续写词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Jennifer checked her mailbox the next day, she found an envelope. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 When Jennifer checked her mailbox the next day, she found an envelope.
