They donated over 35,000 volunteer hours, serving 40,000 adults and more than 5,200 children.”（这里的园丁们做了大量的捐赠工作。他们捐赠了超过35000个志愿者小时，服务了40000名成年人和5200多名儿童。）再根据“They did this through about 35 plant clinics, 6 demonstration gardens, 4 youth gardens, as well as a classroom program and dozens of workshops.”（他们通过大约35个植物诊所、6个示范花园、4个青年花园、以及一个课堂项目和几十个讲习班做到了这一点。）由此可知，划线词this指代的是“donation work”。选项C符合题意，故选C。 2.细节理解题。根据“The Master Gardener Program”中“It is a highly successful example of cooperation between a foundation and volunteers.”“（这是一个基金会和志愿者合作的非常成功的例子。）由此可知，Master Gardener Program是基金会和志愿者之间的桥梁。选项D与文意一致，故选D。 3.推理判断题。根据“Waiting for Your Donations”中“Please consider a donation to the Master Gardener Foundation and help keep our environment green!”（请考虑捐款给the Master Gardener Foundation，让我们的环境更环保！）由此判断出，这篇文章的目的是“鼓励捐赠。”选项A与文意一致，故选A。 B David Rush of Idaho set out to break one Guinness World Record every week of 2022. The challenge was no small achievement and at the same time, nothing out of the ordinary for Rush, who is a writer, speaker and entertainer. He describes himself on his website as “one of the most productive Guinness World Records title holders on the planet.” Rush has been promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) for more than a decade through talks with students, educators and corporations. “STEM is hard and when a student struggles with science or fails at math they may say they can never be an engineer,” he wrote. “In 2015 I broke my first Guinness World Record to create a vivid example for folks to show that if you set your mind to a goal, believe in yourself, and pursue it with a passion, you can accomplish nearly anything. Going on to break an average of one record a week is an extension of that to encourage kids to pursue hard subjects and anyone to pursue anything that’s hard,” he said. Rush started the year off on Jan. 4 by piling up wet bars of soap with his neighbor. From there, his missions included bouncing ping pong balls, catching fruit in his mouth and doing various tasks very quickly. He crossed the 200-Guinness-World-Records-broken milestone for the most kiwis sliced in one minute using a sword while standing on a ball. Holding one Guinness World Record is impressive enough, but David Rush of Idaho set a new record each week for the year of 2022 — 52 weeks, 52 records. Could that be a record number of records? Anyway, his message is engaging and inspiring. 14. What can we learn about Rush from Paragraph 1 and 2? A. He is extremely productive in publishing books. B. He considers STEM to be a vital part in education. C. He has broken the most Guinness World Records. D. He considers himself to be nothing but ordinary. 15. Why did Rush start the record-a-week mission? A. To show that anyone can be a record-breaker. B. To inspire those struggling in pursuit of goals. C. To overcome the hardship in learning STEM. D. To encourage students to become engineers. 16. What is the author’s attitude towards Rush’s record-breaking challenge? A. Objective. B. Skeptical. C. Approving. D. Unclear. 【答案】14. B 15. B 16. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了David Rush计划在2022年每周打破一项吉尼斯世界纪录以及他所取得的成就。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Rush has been promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) for more than a decade through talks with students, educators and corporations. “STEM is hard and when a student struggles with science or fails at math they may say they can never be an engineer,” he wrote. (十多年来，Rush一直通过与学生、教育工作者和企业的对话来推广STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）。他写道：“STEM很难，当一个学生在科学上遇到困难或在数学上不及格时，他们可能会说自己永远无法成为一名工程师。”)”可知，Rush写道当一个学生在科学上遇到困难或在数学上不及格时，他会认为自己永远无法成为工程师，由此可知，Rush认为STEM是教育的重要组成部分。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Going on to break an average of one record a week is an extension of that to encourage kids to pursue hard subjects and anyone to pursue anything that’s hard, (平均每周打破一项纪录是为了鼓励孩子们追求高难度的科目，鼓励任何人追求任何高难度的事情)”可知，Rush开始了每周创纪录的任务，是为了鼓励那些为追求目标而奋斗的人。故选B。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Holding one Guinness World Record is impressive enough, but David Rush of Idaho set a new record each week for the year of 2022—52 weeks, 52 records. Could that be a record number of records? Anyway, his message is engaging and inspiring. (保持一项吉尼斯世界纪录已经足够令人印象深刻了，但爱达荷州的David Rush在2022年每周都创造了一项新纪录——52周，52项纪录。这可能是创纪录的记录数吗？不管怎样，他的信息是吸引人和鼓舞人心)”可推断，作者对于David Rush挑战吉尼斯世界纪录持有赞许的态度。故选C。 C A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer. The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of NASA’s Perseverance rover (漫游者) mission. Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. It’s also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen. “This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” said Jeff Hoffinan, a retired astronaut and professor at MIT. NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie, as they hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars. “We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said. The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800℃and processed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind. Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges. It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably. Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. They say they just want to set everything as high as they dare and make as much oxygen as they can. 17. What can we learn about Moxie? A. It works well in a series of tests. B. It is stopped by extreme conditions. C. It aims to purify breathable oxygen. D. It produces oxygen enough for a team. 18. What is the author’s purpose by quoting Hoffinan’s words in Paragraph 5? A. To present a plan to further explore Mars. B. To demonstrate Nasa’s ambition to win the game. C. To show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars. D. To highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars. 19. Which of the following best describes the team according to the last paragraph? A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Practical and independent. C. Confident and intelligent. D. Courageous and imaginative. 20. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Nasa Mars rover landed successfully. B. Challenges for a human mission to Mars. C. A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward. D. Human beings survive with oxygen made on Mars. 【答案】17. A 18. D 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了是这个Moxie设备，它能让人类在登录火星后产生大量的氧气，这使人类在火星上生存的机会更近了一步。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. (Moxie在着陆后在各种天气和大气条件下进行了7个小时的测试，产生了可呼吸的氧气。在每次测试中，该设备产生了6克氧气，大约相当于一棵小树，足以维持一名宇航员15分钟的生命)”可知，Moxie在一系列实验中起着良好的作用。故选A。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said.(“我们必须从地球上带很多东西来支持人类的任务，但氧气是个大问题。如果你能做到，那就努力去做，你已经走在了探索的前面。”Hoffinan说)”可知，氧气可以支持人类在火星的任务，如果有了氧气就走在了探索的前面。由此推知，本段引用Hoffinan的话是为了强调在火星上制造氧气的重要性。故选D。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably.(它需要连续运行400天，远远超过1小时的测试，其内部温度需要稳定控制)”可知，研究团队需要花费大量时间进行测试，保证内部温度稳定，体现出研究团队的严谨性，同时根据本段中“Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. (Moxie已经被证明能忍受火星上的极端条件，研究小组计划在未来几个月评估机器的极限，那时大气很厚，二氧化碳含量很高)”可知，Moxie已经被证明能忍受火星上的极端条件但是研究小组继续坚持突破极限，这是有抱负的体现。综上，故选A。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. (Moxie在着陆后在各种天气和大气条件下进行了7个小时的测试，产生了可呼吸的氧气)”以及第一段中“A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.( 一个比烤面包机大不了多少的小装置在火星表面产生了氧气，这使在这颗红色星球上生存的机会更近了一步)”可知，本文主要介绍了是这个Moxie设备，它能让人类在登录火星后产生大量的氧气，这使人类在火星上生存的机会更近了一步。C选项“A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward.(火星上有一点氧气，这是一个巨大的飞跃)”可以概括全文。故选C。 第二节 阅读下面短文，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。 Career coaches provide a series of services, from helping you figure out what you want to do to exploring chances for career growth. ____21____ To make it all worthwhile, some helpful tips are offered here to help you choose a right coach.

This year, however, her parents announced a new rule: no phones for the entire week. “But my friends will be expecting updates about the trip, "Kathy complained. Kathy's mom gave her a serious look. Unwillingly, Kathy handed her phone over and her mom locked it away. The drive to the beach house took most of the day. As they turned off the highway onto country back roads, the clouds darkened. Rain started to pour. "Even more beautiful in the rain," her mother said. " What do you think, Kathy?" Kathy glared at her mom. "Beautiful, "she muttered. That night after dinner, Kathy wandered into the kitchen, where her father was washing dishes. She gave her father a loving look and said in her sweetest voice, "Couldn’t I have my phone back, just for one second? Just so I can tell everyone what an amazing time I'm having?” “Can't, "he said. "It's not here. Remember?" Kathy was very annoyed. Having nothing better to do, she examined the dusty bookcase in the living room. The books looked as dull as the weather. On the top shelf, however, she spotted a puzzle. She took it, emptied the pieces on the table, and began to sort them. After what seemed like a few minutes, she looked up. It was past ten o'clock. She had been working for almost two hours! She yawned. The puzzle was less than half done, but she was exhausted. So, she went to bed. When Kathy awoke the next morning, she jumped out of bed and threw open the curtains. A blazing sun was rising over the blue ocean. The sky was cloudless. The scene reminded Kathy of a photo that her friend betty had recently sent her. This view was even better. It would leave everyone speechless. Kathy dashed to her bedside table and reached for her phone. But there was nothing there. She sighed. Still, she wandered in front of the window, admiring the sunrise. 注意: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置作答。 After a quick breakfast, Kathy headed to the beach. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Appreciating the finished puzzle, she realized she hadn't thought of her cellphone for hours. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】After a quick breakfast, Kathy headed to the beach. Under no circumstances had Kathy expected the scenery to be so spectacular! With the sea wind blowing against her face, Kathy totally lost herself in the stunning views. After half an hour's leisure walk along the beach, Kathy returned to the house. “How do I spend the rest of the day?” Kathy murmured to herself. Suddenly, the unfinished puzzle caught her attention. She felt a little excited and buried herself in it once again. Every time the shapes met, Kathy was overwhelmed with happiness. Soon, all that were left were a few gaps. She quickly put the remaining pieces into place. The puzzle was completed! Appreciating the finished puzzle, she realized she hadn’t thought of her cellphone for hours. Trying to preserve the image in her mind, she quietly started taking it apart rather than taking pictures to update about the trip. That, she thought, was just for me. Without the distractions from her cellphone, she found herself engaged in story sharing session with mom and daddy willingly. They spent a high-quality family time together. On arriving home, mom gave her cellphone back. This time, however, she had no intention to share but to keep all the great memories in her mind.

The challenge was no small achievement and at the same time, nothing out of the ordinary for Rush, who is a writer, speaker and entertainer. He describes himself on his website as “one of the most productive Guinness World Records title holders on the planet.” Rush has been promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) for more than a decade through talks with students, educators and corporations. “STEM is hard and when a student struggles with science or fails at math they may say they can never be an engineer,” he wrote. “In 2015 I broke my first Guinness World Record to create a vivid example for folks to show that if you set your mind to a goal, believe in yourself, and pursue it with a passion, you can accomplish nearly anything. Going on to break an average of one record a week is an extension of that to encourage kids to pursue hard subjects and anyone to pursue anything that’s hard,” he said. Rush started the year off on Jan. 4 by piling up wet bars of soap with his neighbor. From there, his missions included bouncing ping pong balls, catching fruit in his mouth and doing various tasks very quickly. He crossed the 200-Guinness-World-Records-broken milestone for the most kiwis sliced in one minute using a sword while standing on a ball. Holding one Guinness World Record is impressive enough, but David Rush of Idaho set a new record each week for the year of 2022 — 52 weeks, 52 records. Could that be a record number of records? Anyway, his message is engaging and inspiring. 14. What can we learn about Rush from Paragraph 1 and 2? A. He is extremely productive in publishing books. B. He considers STEM to be a vital part in education. C. He has broken the most Guinness World Records. D. He considers himself to be nothing but ordinary. 15. Why did Rush start the record-a-week mission? A. To show that anyone can be a record-breaker. B. To inspire those struggling in pursuit of goals. C. To overcome the hardship in learning STEM. D. To encourage students to become engineers. 16. What is the author’s attitude towards Rush’s record-breaking challenge? A. Objective. B. Skeptical. C. Approving. D. Unclear. C A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer. The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of NASA’s Perseverance rover (漫游者) mission. Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. It’s also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen. “This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” said Jeff Hoffinan, a retired astronaut and professor at MIT. NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie, as they hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars. “We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said. The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800℃and processed to separate the carbon and oxygen Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind. Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges. It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably. Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. They say they just want to set everything as high as they dare and make as much oxygen as they can. 17. What can we learn about Moxie? A. It works well in a series of tests. B. It is stopped by extreme conditions. C. It aims to purify breathable oxygen. D. It produces oxygen enough for a team. 18. What is the author’s purpose by quoting Hoffinan’s words in Paragraph 5? A. To present a plan to further explore Mars. B. To demonstrate Nasa’s ambition to win the game. C. To show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars. D. To highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars. 19. Which of the following best describes the team according to the last paragraph? A Cautious and ambitious. B. Practical and independent. C. Confident and intelligent. D. Courageous and imaginative. 20. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Nasa Mars rover landed successfully. B. Challenges for a human mission to Mars. C. A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward. D. Human beings survive with oxygen made on Mars. 第二节 阅读下面短文，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。 Career coaches provide a series of services, from helping you figure out what you want to do to exploring chances for career growth. ____21____ To make it all worthwhile, some helpful tips are offered here to help you choose a right coach.

This year, however, her parents announced a new rule: no phones for the entire week. “But my friends will be expecting updates about the trip, "Kathy complained. Kathy's mom gave her a serious look. Unwillingly, Kathy handed her phone over and her mom locked it away. The drive to the beach house took most of the day. As they turned off the highway onto country back roads, the clouds darkened. Rain started to pour. "Even more beautiful in the rain," her mother said. " What do you think, Kathy?" Kathy glared at her mom. "Beautiful, "she muttered. That night after dinner, Kathy wandered into the kitchen, where her father was washing dishes. She gave her father a loving look and said in her sweetest voice, "Couldn’t I have my phone back, just for one second? Just so I can tell everyone what an amazing time I'm having?” “Can't, "he said. "It's not here. Remember?" Kathy was very annoyed. Having nothing better to do, she examined the dusty bookcase in the living room. The books looked as dull as the weather. On the top shelf, however, she spotted a puzzle. She took it, emptied the pieces on the table, and began to sort them. After what seemed like a few minutes, she looked up. It was past ten o'clock. She had been working for almost two hours! She yawned. The puzzle was less than half done, but she was exhausted. So, she went to bed. When Kathy awoke the next morning, she jumped out of bed and threw open the curtains. A blazing sun was rising over the blue ocean. The sky was cloudless. The scene reminded Kathy of a photo that her friend betty had recently sent her. This view was even better. It would leave everyone speechless. Kathy dashed to her bedside table and reached for her phone. But there was nothing there. She sighed. Still, she wandered in front of the window, admiring the sunrise. 注意: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置作答。 After a quick breakfast, Kathy headed to the beach. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Appreciating the finished puzzle, she realized she hadn't thought of her cellphone for hours. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
