Ross Griffiths woke up one morning only to find himself unable to speak. This five-year-old boy was only two weeks ago diagnosed (诊断) with a condition so unusual that it hasn’t been named and is instead known as 15q11.2.
Ross Griffiths has struggled to get back his communication skills, but has always been too shy to use his sign language away from home and school. But after seeing a video of Middlesbrough’s Cleveland Centre Father Christmas signing with three-year-old Mali Williams, Ross told his mum that he wanted to sign with Father Christmas, too.
Ross and his family went to see Father Christmas yesterday, along with Mali, who was invited back for a second visit. Father Christmas set up the special second meeting with Mali where he gave her a lovely doll.
As crowds of children and parents awaited the arrival of the big man at the shopping centre, Father Christmas took some time out before his duties to meet again with Mali and with Ross before going on to see all the other children.
Ross’s mum Becky Lane hoped that a visit to the special Father Christmas would help Ross get over his shyness. The Father Christmas everyone believes in even learned Makaton specially for his meeting with Ross, as this is the communication method the young boy uses.
“He was too frightened to use his sign language outside the house, but when he saw the video of the girl signing with Father Christmas, it showed him he didn’t have to be shy. He did really well. And he got a PacMan game as a gift. Now he’s not a shy boy any more,” Becky said.
24.According to the text, we can learn that Ross Griffiths ________.
A.caught a deadly disease
B.was afraid of communicating with strangers
C.found it hard to learn sign language
D.dreamed of becoming a Father Christmas
25.Seeing the video, Ross might feel ________.
A.proud B.angry C.calm D.excited
26.What does the underlined word “Makaton” most probably refer to?
A.A form of signing. B.A foreign language.
C.A Christmas song. D.A kind of dance.
27.After meeting Father Christmas, we can learn that Ross ________.
A.knew how to shop wisely B.wanted to go to school again
C.rebuilt confidence in himself D.could speak like normal people

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method of storing and handling valuable biological materials that removes the limitations of refrigerated storage. The novel method has potential applications in healthcare and scientific research.
Biological materials that come from human cells, like enzymes, proteins, and antibodies, are crucial to developing new medicines and diagnostic tests. And they’re fragile. Extremely temperature-sensitive, they require a constant temperature during storage, handling, and transportation. If not stored or handled correctly, these materials will be inactive, which can be costly.
Most biological materials are stored as liquids or freeze-dried powders and kept at low temperatures for the duration of their shelf life. This is achieved through a complex integrated system of refrigerators and freezers known as the cold chain. This requires a significant investment in equipment and infrastructure, making it expensive to maintain, and makes the cold chain prone to shipping delays, power outages, equipment failure and human error.
Inspired from the home medicine cabinet (储藏柜), where medications are stored in the form of liquids, powder-filled capsules, and tablets, researchers at California Polytechnic State University have developed a new storage platform based on the humble tablet that would enable biological materials to be compressed (压缩) into a solid state.
Tablets provide advantages to the storage and handling of biomaterials that the cold chain doesn’t. For one thing, they can be stored at room temperature. And, when they’re required, the tablet can be dissolved in water. “Our innovation makes storing and using biomaterials as straightforward as an effervescent tablet (泡腾片). Just drop it into water, mix, and it’s ready to go,” said the researcher of the study.
The researchers say their new tablet-based storage and handling method is easy to use and doesn’t require special training, making it suitable for many applications. They also see potential uses beyond just improving the storage and handling of biological materials. By modifying (修改) the tablet coatings, this solid-state storage platform could withstand extreme conditions like heat, humidity, and chemicals. These changes might eventually allow injectable medications, such as insulin, to be taken orally.
28.What is a special requirement to store biological materials?
A.Constant temperature maintenance.
B.Exposure to various temperatures.
C.Periodically freezing and melting.
D.Direct contact with air.
29.What is the researchers’ attitude to their storage method?
A.Favorable. B.Skeptical. C.Disappointed. D.Grateful.
30.Which word can replace the underlined word “withstand” in the last paragraph?
A.Demonstrate. B.Stand. C.Adopt. D.Distinguish.
31.What is the text mainly about?
A.Challenges of storing biological materials.
B.The making process of effervescent tablets.
C.Healthcare applications of biological materials.
D.A new tablet storage method of biological materials.

AI is a keyword in our time. Can artificial intelligence uncover a liar? It sounds like science fiction, but such an AI system is possible. Rada Mihalcea, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Michigan, has worked on deceit (欺骗) detection for about a decade.
The first thing that researchers working on artificial intelligence and machine learning need is data. In the case of the work that Mihalcea did, they began with videos from actual court cases. For example, a defendant speaking in a trial in which he is found to have committed a crime could provide an example of deceit; they also employed words from witnesses as either example of truthful or deceitful statements. Altogether, they analyzed 121 videos — about half represented dishonest statements, and half truthful. It was this data that they used to build machine learning deceit detectors that ultimately (最终) had between a 60 to 75 percent accuracy rate.
One thing the system noticed is the use of pronouns—people who are lying would tend to less often use the word “I” or “we”, Mihalcea explains. “Instead, people who are lying would more often use ‘you,’ ‘yours’.” Besides, someone telling a lie would use “stronger words” such as “absolutely,” and “very,” that reflect certainty, while interestingly, people telling the truth were more likely to use words such as “maybe” or “probably.” As for gestures, she points out that someone being deceitful would be more likely to look directly into the eyes of the person questioning them. They also tended to use both hands when gesturing.
However, Mihalcea’s work is “far from perfection,” she admits. “As a researcher, we are content that we were able to get to 75 percent accuracy. But looked at another way, that’s an error rate of one in four.” Ultimately, she sees technology like this as being assistive for people — it could indicate that it noticed something “unusual” in a speaker’s statement, and then perhaps have a person “investigate more.”
32.How did researchers create the deceit detection using artificial intelligence?
A.They interviewed criminals in court cases.
B.They involved AI system in a virtual trial.
C.They employed witnesses to identify dishonest criminals.
D.They fed the system with both truthful and deceitful statements.
33.What is a liar likely to do according to paragraph 3?
A.Gesture with one hand. B.Question others directly.
C.Use pronouns repeatedly. D.Speak with strong certainty.
34.How does Mihalcea feel about her work?
A.It completely lives up to her expectation.
B.It can be used as an aid for human beings.
C.It can replace human beings to uncover a lie.
D.It successfully lowers the error rate of detection.
35.Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.The use of pronouns and gestures in lie
B.Rada Mihalcea’s research on lie detection by using AI
C.The limitations of current lie detection technology
D.Accuracy rate of machine learning deceit detectors

If you struggle to meet new people or join in a conversation at social events, it might be that your body language is sending the message to others to stay away. 36 ? Below are some tips to get you started.
Smile. Although it is possible to overdo smiling, generally it is better to smile than frown (皱眉). Try to find things that really make you happy or laugh and your smile will come across as natural rather than forced.
37 . Make sure that you aren’t using objects to shield (遮住) yourself from others. At a party, hold your drink at your side instead of close to your chest (胸膛). Keeping objects between you and others makes you appear guarded and closed.
Use eye contact. When you do end up talking with someone, be sure to maintain eye contact. Avoiding eye contact makes you appear untrustworthy or disinterested. If direct eye contact feels hard, try looking at only one eye at a time, or at a part between a person’s eyes. 38
Avoid nervous habits. Even though you might be nervous, avoid the habits that go with it. 39 . Don’t play with your pen or the change in your pocket. Keep your hands relaxed at your sides or use them to gesture (做手势) when making conversation.
40 . Say nice things about other people instead of mean things. Approach others and include those who seem to be left out. Be a positive person and you will attract other positive people to you.
Although it may feel unnatural at first, with time you should start to feel more open and confident as a result of changing your body language.
A.Avoid blocks
B.Use objects on hand
C.They won’t be able to tell the difference
D.Apart from body language, always be positive
E.Stop touching your face or playing with your hair
F.How can you read different types of body language properly
G.How can you improve your body language to appear more approachable

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Scientists first discovered the two species in the Wolong National Nature Reserve in 2021. They later 56 (establish) that they were new orchid (兰花) and primrose (报春花) species. And then, the tiny orchid, Gastrochilus heminii, 57 (add) to the list as a data-absent species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, meaning more information to assess its risk of 58 (extinct).
The primrose species, another data-absent flora, grows on cliffs at an altitude of 3,400 meters. So far, scientists have only found one patch of this flower in the wild, making it 59 (exceptional) rare.
China owns some of the richest biodiversity in the world and has a relatively fine flora protection system, according to a white paper on China’s biodiversity protection.
The reasons for the wealth of many 60 (discovery) are new transportation infrastructure and technology enabling scientists to go deep into unmapped regions. The second reason is that as scientists’ understanding of taxonomy (分类学) deepens, some plants species 61 were found in the past were later reclassified as new species. The third reason is that China’s massive ecological restoration programs have helped a number of endangered species to reappear, which has 62 profound effect on ecology in China.
As of 2021, China had around 200 conservation botanical gardens, 63 (create) some protective places for more than 23,000 species of flora. Rare native plants hold research value and they are referred to 64 the models for conservation efforts and get the public 65 (interest) in science and nature.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When school was over, the day was fading and it started to drizzle(毛毛雨). I stood at the school gate, with a loaded backpack on my shoulders. It was Friday again: a weekend of joy with unlimited sleeping hours and dinner courses specially made to my taste, a weekend at home. I waved goodbye to my friends as they jumped into their fathers’ warm and comfortable cars. Curiously, this gave rise to a disturbing feeling in me. It was not exactly what they called jealousy, but something like dismay(沮丧). I knew all I could expect was an old bike Mom would ride along on, with the badly-oiled chain creaking(嘎吱作响) against the wheel to announce her arrival.
Every Friday when Mom came to pick me up for the weekend, it was a moment full of great expectation and great unease. I always felt my face burning as we rode our way in and out of the numerous cars and saw my friends’ faces sticking out of the car windows. It was like stepping into a ballroom with beautifully dressed ladies and finding yourself in a smelly T-shirt.
To tell you the truth, Mom is quite a headache once in a while. She just looks a homely middle-aged housewife. Being a practitioner of DIY, she knits most of my sweaters, chiefly in old styles. Whenever caught by some curious classmates asking what brand my sweaters are, I’d force a smile and reply in a half joking manner: homemade.
I couldn’t remember when I started to find her such an embarrassment. As a little boy, I relied on her so much. She had been working at home, cooking in the kitchen, knitting by the lamp or riding across town to buy me a book I badly needed. It had always been much fun riding with mom. But just now there seemed to be something standing between us, something that made her so strange to me and me to her.
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。
Today she showed up in a raincoat.

Mom tried to cover me with the back of the raincoat again as a storm set in.

【答案】17.B 18.A 19.C 20.B
【原文】My mum has always told me to help others. One day last week I was walking back to my home and I passed like an old lady who seemed to be in trouble. I turned back and asked if she was okay. She explained that she was sick and had to struggle to walk with her shopping bags. I offered to carry her things and walked her back home but she refused because she didn’t want to give me any trouble. I told her it didn’t matter and her home was on my way home.
It was a white lie. As I walked with her, she talked with me and introduced herself. I in turn told her my name. She asked if I knew Ray Robert. I was shocked and said yes, that was my dad. It turned out this lady was my dad’s neighbor, who had looked after my dad when my grandmother died thirty years ago. My dad had often spoken of her, but I had never met her as she had moved away with her family.
It was a lovely moment for both of us. When I got home and told my dad about the incident it made him cry. I was so moved. I am glad that my small, active kindness ended in a chance meeting that meant so much to the two people.

Ross Griffiths woke up one morning only to find himself unable to speak. This five-year-old boy was only two weeks ago diagnosed (诊断) with a condition so unusual that it hasn’t been named and is instead known as 15q11.2.
Ross Griffiths has struggled to get back his communication skills, but has always been too shy to use his sign language away from home and school. But after seeing a video of Middlesbrough’s Cleveland Centre Father Christmas signing with three-year-old Mali Williams, Ross told his mum that he wanted to sign with Father Christmas, too.
Ross and his family went to see Father Christmas yesterday, along with Mali, who was invited back for a second visit. Father Christmas set up the special second meeting with Mali where he gave her a lovely doll.
As crowds of children and parents awaited the arrival of the big man at the shopping centre, Father Christmas took some time out before his duties to meet again with Mali and with Ross before going on to see all the other children.
Ross’s mum Becky Lane hoped that a visit to the special Father Christmas would help Ross get over his shyness. The Father Christmas everyone believes in even learned Makaton specially for his meeting with Ross, as this is the communication method the young boy uses.
“He was too frightened to use his sign language outside the house, but when he saw the video of the girl signing with Father Christmas, it showed him he didn’t have to be shy. He did really well. And he got a PacMan game as a gift. Now he’s not a shy boy any more,” Becky said.

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method of storing and handling valuable biological materials that removes the limitations of refrigerated storage. The novel method has potential applications in healthcare and scientific research.
Biological materials that come from human cells, like enzymes, proteins, and antibodies, are crucial to developing new medicines and diagnostic tests. And they’re fragile. Extremely temperature-sensitive, they require a constant temperature during storage, handling, and transportation. If not stored or handled correctly, these materials will be inactive, which can be costly.
Most biological materials are stored as liquids or freeze-dried powders and kept at low temperatures for the duration of their shelf life. This is achieved through a complex integrated system of refrigerators and freezers known as the cold chain. This requires a significant investment in equipment and infrastructure, making it expensive to maintain, and makes the cold chain prone to shipping delays, power outages, equipment failure and human error.
Inspired from the home medicine cabinet (储藏柜), where medications are stored in the form of liquids, powder-filled capsules, and tablets, researchers at California Polytechnic State University have developed a new storage platform based on the humble tablet that would enable biological materials to be compressed (压缩) into a solid state.
Tablets provide advantages to the storage and handling of biomaterials that the cold chain doesn’t. For one thing, they can be stored at room temperature. And, when they’re required, the tablet can be dissolved in water. “Our innovation makes storing and using biomaterials as straightforward as an effervescent tablet (泡腾片). Just drop it into water, mix, and it’s ready to go,” said the researcher of the study.
The researchers say their new tablet-based storage and handling method is easy to use and doesn’t require special training, making it suitable for many applications. They also see potential uses beyond just improving the storage and handling of biological materials. By modifying (修改) the tablet coatings, this solid-state storage platform could withstand extreme conditions like heat, humidity, and chemicals. These changes might eventually allow injectable medications, such as insulin, to be taken orally.
28.What is a special requirement to store biological materials?
A.Constant temperature maintenance.
B.Exposure to various temperatures.
C.Periodically freezing and melting.
D.Direct contact with air.
29.What is the researchers’ attitude to their storage method?
A.Favorable. B.Skeptical. C.Disappointed. D.Grateful.
30.Which word can replace the underlined word “withstand” in the last paragraph?
A.Demonstrate. B.Stand. C.Adopt. D.Distinguish.
31.What is the text mainly about?
A.Challenges of storing biological materials.
B.The making process of effervescent tablets.
C.Healthcare applications of biological materials.
D.A new tablet storage method of biological materials.
【答案】28.A 29.A 30.B 31.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了加州州立理工大学的研究人员通过研究,找到了可以在常温下存储和处理生物材料的方法。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段“And they’re fragile. Extremely temperature-sensitive, they require a constant temperature during storage, handling, and transportation. If not stored or handled correctly, these materials will be inactive, which can be costly.(而且它们很脆弱。它们对温度极为敏感,在储存、搬运和运输过程中需要恒温。如果储存或处理不当,这些材料将处于非活性状态,这可能会带来高昂的成本)”可知,生物材料对温度极其敏感,在储存、处理和运输过程中需要恒定的环境温度。故选A。
29.推理判断题。根据第五段““Our innovation makes storing and using biomaterials as straightforward as an effervescent tablet (泡腾片). Just drop it into water, mix, and it’s ready to go,” said the researcher of the study.(该研究的研究人员说:“我们的创新使生物材料的储存和使用变得像泡腾片一样简单。只需将其放入水中,混合,即可使用。”)”以及最后一段“The researchers say their new tablet-based storage and handling method is easy to use and doesn’t require special training, making it suitable for many applications. They also see potential uses beyond just improving the storage and handling of biological materials.(研究人员表示,他们新的基于平板电脑的存储和处理方法易于使用,不需要特殊培训,因此适用于许多应用。他们还看到了除了改善生物材料的储存和处理之外的潜在用途)”可知,研究人员认为储存方法很简单,并易于使用,由此可知,研究人员对他们的储存方法持赞成的态度。故选A。
30.词句猜测题。根据最后一段“By modifying (修改) the tablet coatings, this solid-state storage platform could withstand extreme conditions like heat, humidity, and chemicals.(通过修改平板电脑的涂层,这种固态存储平台可以withstand高温、潮湿和化学物质等极端条件)”可推知,此处表示经过涂层修改后,固态存储平台可以承受极端条件,划线单词表示“承受”,与Stand意义相近。故选B。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文以及第一段“Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method of storing and handling valuable biological materials that removes the limitations of refrigerated storage. The novel method has potential applications in healthcare and scientific research.(研究人员开发了一种突破性的储存和处理有价值生物材料的方法,消除了冷藏的局限性。这种新方法在医疗保健和科学研究方面具有潜在的应用前景)”可知,本文主要介绍了加州州立理工大学的研究人员通过研究,找到的一种可以在常温下存储和处理生物材料的方法。故选D。

AI is a keyword in our time. Can artificial intelligence uncover a liar? It sounds like science fiction, but such an AI system is possible. Rada Mihalcea, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Michigan, has worked on deceit (欺骗) detection for about a decade.
The first thing that researchers working on artificial intelligence and machine learning need is data. In the case of the work that Mihalcea did, they began with videos from actual court cases. For example, a defendant speaking in a trial in which he is found to have committed a crime could provide an example of deceit; they also employed words from witnesses as either example of truthful or deceitful statements. Altogether, they analyzed 121 videos — about half represented dishonest statements, and half truthful. It was this data that they used to build machine learning deceit detectors that ultimately (最终) had between a 60 to 75 percent accuracy rate.
One thing the system noticed is the use of pronouns—people who are lying would tend to less often use the word “I” or “we”, Mihalcea explains. “Instead, people who are lying would more often use ‘you,’ ‘yours’.” Besides, someone telling a lie would use “stronger words” such as “absolutely,” and “very,” that reflect certainty, while interestingly, people telling the truth were more likely to use words such as “maybe” or “probably.” As for gestures, she points out that someone being deceitful would be more likely to look directly into the eyes of the person questioning them. They also tended to use both hands when gesturing.
However, Mihalcea’s work is “far from perfection,” she admits. “As a researcher, we are content that we were able to get to 75 percent accuracy. But looked at another way, that’s an error rate of one in four.” Ultimately, she sees technology like this as being assistive for people — it could indicate that it noticed something “unusual” in a speaker’s statement, and then perhaps have a person “investigate more.”
32.How did researchers create the deceit detection using artificial intelligence?
A.They interviewed criminals in court cases.
B.They involved AI system in a virtual trial.
C.They employed witnesses to identify dishonest criminals.
D.They fed the system with both truthful and deceitful statements.
33.What is a liar likely to do according to paragraph 3?
A.Gesture with one hand. B.Question others directly.
C.Use pronouns repeatedly. D.Speak with strong certainty.
34.How does Mihalcea feel about her work?
A.It completely lives up to her expectation.
B.It can be used as an aid for human beings.
C.It can replace human beings to uncover a lie.
D.It successfully lowers the error rate of detection.
35.Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.The use of pronouns and gestures in lie
B.Rada Mihalcea’s research on lie detection by using AI
C.The limitations of current lie detection technology
D.Accuracy rate of machine learning deceit detectors
【答案】32.D 33.D 34.B 35.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能欺骗探测器以及它是如何工作的,同时人工智能技术可以作为人类的辅助手段。
32.细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“In the case of the work that Mihalcea did, they began with videos from actual court cases. For example, a defendant speaking in a trial in which he is found to have committed a crime could provide an example of deceit; they also employed words from witnesses as either example of truthful or deceitful statements. Altogether, they analyzed 121 videos — about half represented dishonest statements, and half truthful. It was this data that they used to build machine learning deceit detectors that ultimately (最终) had between a 60 to 75 percent accuracy rate. (在Mihalcea所做的工作中,他们从实际法庭案件的视频开始。例如,一名被告在他被认定犯罪的审判中发言,可以作为欺骗的例子;他们还使用证人的话作为真实或欺骗性陈述的例子。他们总共分析了121个视频,其中一半是不诚实的,一半是真实的。他们利用这些数据建立了机器学习欺骗探测器,最终的准确率在60%到75%之间。)”可知,研究人员向系统输入法庭上的真话和谎言进行学习,以此训练他们的测谎能力。故选D。
33.推理判断题。 根据文章第三段中的“Besides, someone telling a lie would use ‘stronger words’ such as ‘absolutely,’ and “very,” that reflect certainty, while interestingly, people telling the truth were more likely to use words such as ‘maybe’ or “probably.” (此外,说谎的人会使用‘绝对’和‘非常’等‘更强烈的词’来反映确定性,而有趣的是,说实话的人更有可能使用“也许”或“可能”等词。)”可知,撒谎者说话时措辞比较强硬,会使用“绝对、非常”等体现很强确定性词语。故选D。
34.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Ultimately, she sees technology like this as being assistive for people — it could indicate that it noticed something ‘unusual’ in a speaker’s statement, and then perhaps have a person “investigate more.” (最终,她认为这样的技术对人们是有帮助的——例如,它可以表明它注意到说话者的陈述中有一些‘不寻常’的地方,然后可能让一个人“进一步调查”)”可知,人工智能技术可以作为人类的辅助手段。故选B。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据文章第一段中的“Can artificial intelligence uncover a liar? It sounds like science fiction, but such an AI system is possible. Rada Mihalcea, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Michigan, has worked on deceit (欺骗) detection for about a decade. (人工智能能发现骗子吗?这听起来像科幻小说,但这样的人工智能系统是可能的。密歇根大学计算机科学与工程教授Rada Mihalcea研究欺骗检测已有十年左右的时间)”可知,本文主要介绍了 Rada Mihalcea 研究人工智能欺骗探测器的开发原理、当前的发现,以及对其评价。由此可知,选项B“Rada Mihalcea’s research on lie detection by using AI (Rada Mihalcea利用人工智能进行测谎的研究)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。
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。
If you struggle to meet new people or join in a conversation at social events, it might be that your body language is sending the message to others to stay away. 36 ? Below are some tips to get you started.
Smile. Although it is possible to overdo smiling, generally it is better to smile than frown (皱眉). Try to find things that really make you happy or laugh and your smile will come across as natural rather than forced.
37 . Make sure that you aren’t using objects to shield (遮住) yourself from others. At a party, hold your drink at your side instead of close to your chest (胸膛). Keeping objects between you and others makes you appear guarded and closed.
Use eye contact. When you do end up talking with someone, be sure to maintain eye contact. Avoiding eye contact makes you appear untrustworthy or disinterested. If direct eye contact feels hard, try looking at only one eye at a time, or at a part between a person’s eyes. 38
Avoid nervous habits. Even though you might be nervous, avoid the habits that go with it. 39 . Don’t play with your pen or the change in your pocket. Keep your hands relaxed at your sides or use them to gesture (做手势) when making conversation.
40 . Say nice things about other people instead of mean things. Approach others and include those who seem to be left out. Be a positive person and you will attract other positive people to you.
Although it may feel unnatural at first, with time you should start to feel more open and confident as a result of changing your body language.
A.Avoid blocks
B.Use objects on hand
C.They won’t be able to tell the difference
D.Apart from body language, always be positive
E.Stop touching your face or playing with your hair
F.How can you read different types of body language properly
G.How can you improve your body language to appear more approachable

37.根据下文“Make sure that you aren’t using objects to shield (遮住) yourself from others. At a party, hold your drink at your side instead of close to your chest (胸膛). Keeping objects between you and others makes you appear guarded and closed.(确保你没有用物品来遮住自己不被他人看到。在聚会上,把你的饮料放在你身边,而不是靠近你的胸部。在你和其他人之间放东西会让你显得有戒心和封闭)”可知下文说明在社交场合中要避免用物品隔开自己和他人,要保持开放的姿态。A 选项“Avoid blocks (避免阻隔)”位于段首,对下文起总结概括的作用,且与后文的“shield(遮住)”和“guarded and closed”相呼应。故选A。
38.根据上文“If direct eye contact feels hard, try looking at only one eye at a time, or at a part between a person’s eyes.(如果直接的眼神交流感觉很难,试着一次只看一只眼睛,或者看一个人的眼睛之间的部分)”可知,上文建议在与人交谈时,如果感觉直接的眼神交流困难,可以采取的方式。C 选项“They won’t be able to tell the difference (他们不会看出区别的)”则说明即使没有直接的眼神交流,别人也不会察觉,与上文构成因果关系。故选C。
39.根据上文“Even though you might be nervous, avoid the habits that go with it.(尽管你可能会紧张,但要避免随之而来的习惯)”可知上文提到要避免紧张时的习惯。E 选项“Stop touching your face or playing with your hair (停止触摸你的脸或玩弄你的头发)”是具体的紧张时的习惯,对上文起举例说明的作用。故选E。
40.根据下文“Say nice things about other people instead of mean things. Approach others and include those who seem to be left out. Be a positive person and you will attract other positive people to you.(说别人的好话而不是刻薄的话。接近他人,包括那些似乎被忽视的人。做一个积极的人,你会吸引其他积极的人)”可知下文建议要做一个积极的人,多说别人的好话。D 选项“Apart from body language, always be positive (除了肢体语言,永远要积极)”位于段首,对下文起总结概括的作用,且positive与后文的nice和positive相呼应。故选D。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Scientists first discovered the two species in the Wolong National Nature Reserve in 2021. They later 56 (establish) that they were new orchid (兰花) and primrose (报春花) species. And then, the tiny orchid, Gastrochilus heminii, 57 (add) to the list as a data-absent species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, meaning more information to assess its risk of 58 (extinct).
The primrose species, another data-absent flora, grows on cliffs at an altitude of 3,400 meters. So far, scientists have only found one patch of this flower in the wild, making it 59 (exceptional) rare.
China owns some of the richest biodiversity in the world and has a relatively fine flora protection system, according to a white paper on China’s biodiversity protection.
The reasons for the wealth of many 60 (discovery) are new transportation infrastructure and technology enabling scientists to go deep into unmapped regions. The second reason is that as scientists’ understanding of taxonomy (分类学) deepens, some plants species 61 were found in the past were later reclassified as new species. The third reason is that China’s massive ecological restoration programs have helped a number of endangered species to reappear, which has 62 profound effect on ecology in China.
As of 2021, China had around 200 conservation botanical gardens, 63 (create) some protective places for more than 23,000 species of flora. Rare native plants hold research value and they are referred to 64 the models for conservation efforts and get the public 65 (interest) in science and nature.
【答案】
56.established 57.was added 58.extinction 59.exceptionally 60.discoveries 61.that/which 62.a 63.creating 64.as 65.interested
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学家们于2021年首次发现了两个新的植物品种。这两个新的植物品种的出现的背后不仅有国家政策的大力支持而且还得益于经济的发展使科学家能够深入未知地区。
56.考查时态。句意:他们后来确定,它们是新的兰花和报春花品种。分析句子成分可知,空处应为谓语动词。照应句意以及“later”可知,应为一般过去时。故填established。
57.考查时态和语态。句意:然后,国际自然保护联盟将微小的兰花作为数据缺失的物种添加到名单中,这意味着需要更多信息来评估其灭绝风险。根据时间状语“then”可知,应为一般过去时,且用单数,逻辑主语Gastrochilus heminii与list之间为被动关系。故填was added。
58.考查名词。句意:然后,国际自然保护联盟将微小的兰花作为数据缺失的物种添加到名单中,这意味着需要更多信息来评估其灭绝风险。根据空前的介词of可知,空处应为名词extinction作宾语,为不可数名词。故填extinction。
59.考查副词。句意:到目前为止,科学家们在野外只发现了这种花的一片,因此非常罕见。空处应为副词修饰空后形容词rare,故填exceptionally。
60.考查名词复数。句意:许多发现的财富的原因是新的交通基础设施和技术,使科学家能够深入到未测绘的地区。根据空前many可知空处应为可数名词复数形式,故填discoveries。
61.考查定语从句。句意:第二个原因是,随着科学家对分类学(分类学)理解的深入,一些过去发现的植物物种后来被重新分类为新物种。some plants species为先行词,为物,且在从句中充当主语,故填that/which。
62.考查冠词。句意:第三个原因是,中国大规模的生态修复项目帮助了一批濒危物种重新出现,对中国生态产生了深远的影响。have a profound effect on为固定短语,表示“对……产生深远影响”,故填a。
63.考查现在分词。句意:截至2021年,中国共有约200个保护植物园,为23,000多种植物创造了一些保护场所。句中已有谓语动词had,空处应为非谓语动词,表示自然而然地结果,动词create与上文内容之间是主动关系,空处应为现在分词作状语。故填creating。
64.考查介词。句意:稀有的本土植物具有研究价值,它们被称为保护工作的模型,并使公众对科学和自然产生兴趣。固定搭配serve as“作为;充当”。故填as。
65.考查形容词。句意:稀有的本土植物具有研究价值,它们被称为保护工作的模型,并使公众对科学和自然产生兴趣。空处应为形容词作宾语补足语,说明宾语“the public”的状态。故填interested。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When school was over, the day was fading and it started to drizzle(毛毛雨). I stood at the school gate, with a loaded backpack on my shoulders. It was Friday again: a weekend of joy with unlimited sleeping hours and dinner courses specially made to my taste, a weekend at home. I waved goodbye to my friends as they jumped into their fathers’ warm and comfortable cars. Curiously, this gave rise to a disturbing feeling in me. It was not exactly what they called jealousy, but something like dismay(沮丧). I knew all I could expect was an old bike Mom would ride along on, with the badly-oiled chain creaking(嘎吱作响) against the wheel to announce her arrival.
Every Friday when Mom came to pick me up for the weekend, it was a moment full of great expectation and great unease. I always felt my face burning as we rode our way in and out of the numerous cars and saw my friends’ faces sticking out of the car windows. It was like stepping into a ballroom with beautifully dressed ladies and finding yourself in a smelly T-shirt.
To tell you the truth, Mom is quite a headache once in a while. She just looks a homely middle-aged housewife. Being a practitioner of DIY, she knits most of my sweaters, chiefly in old styles. Whenever caught by some curious classmates asking what brand my sweaters are, I’d force a smile and reply in a half joking manner: homemade.
I couldn’t remember when I started to find her such an embarrassment. As a little boy, I relied on her so much. She had been working at home, cooking in the kitchen, knitting by the lamp or riding across town to buy me a book I badly needed. It had always been much fun riding with mom. But just now there seemed to be something standing between us, something that made her so strange to me and me to her.
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。
Today she showed up in a raincoat.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mom tried to cover me with the back of the raincoat again as a storm set in.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Today she showed up in a raincoat. Seeing her standing in the heavy rain with all the body wet, I finally could not control myself and shouted at her, “Why do you look so flustered? I don’t need you to take me home. I feel ashamed to have a mother like you!” Suddenly, Mom was shocked and silent. Maybe, she had never thought that I would have that feeling of her appearance and our home condition. She said nothing and just covered the raincoat on me. I pushed it away wildly.
Mom tried to cover me with the back of the raincoat again as a storm set in. With a smile, she said, “Dear son, I’m trying my best to earn our living, and I’m sure that if we work harder, we will get whatever we want in the future.” Hearing her words, I felt embarrassed. I thought of the time when she knitted in the deep night and cooked for me in the early morning. Yes, she had always been doing whatever she could to make me live well. But I was still unsatisfied. I had known that if I wanted to get what others had, I should spare no efforts to study hard and get it by myself.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述作者在同学们都是被爸爸们的汽车接回家的时候,他的妈妈却是骑着破旧自行车来接他,这让他感到很丢人,但一个大雨天的经历让作者认识到了自己的错误。

①由第一段首句内容“今天,她穿着雨衣出现了。”可知,第一段可描写作者在看到他的妈妈穿着雨衣出现在学校门口的时候的反应。
②由第二段首句内容“暴风雨来临时,妈妈又试图用雨衣背面盖住我。”可知,第二段可描写作者在和妈妈交流之后,终于认识到了妈妈的辛苦,并且下定决心要通过自己的努力获得他想要的生活。
