If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better. It’s been years since they were dusty little rooms with books. They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business. Check out a book. While libraries still loan out(出借)books, you’ll find it easier to get a copy of whatever you’re looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries. Via such networks, libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles. Once the book you’ve requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you by e-mail, so you can pick it up. Check out other items. The library is now a multimedia zone, loaded with information in many formats(载体形式). You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. If a popular magazine you want isn’t offered and the library keeps a list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown. Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted to various age groups. Perhaps you’d like to learn a language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a language group you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to accommodate you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book. Start a business using the help of your local library. If you want to have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce(商会)and government agencies, and they will offer printing, faxing and database services you need. 36. Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by______. A. sharing their books on the Internet B. giving access to online reading at a library branch C. sending a needed book to a library branch nearby D. making the checkout procedures diverse 37. According to Paragraph 3, what items may be checked out from a public library? A. A magazine and an e-book. B. A game and an oil painting. C. A music CD and a kid’s toy. D. A DVD and a video player 38. As is described in Paragraph 4, taking a small kid to a half-hour Story Time allows ______. A. the kid to learn a new language B. the parent to enjoy quiet reading C. the kid to overcome reading difficulties D. the parent to meet their program sponsor 39. Your local library can help you start a business by ______. A. providing relevant information and supporting services B. offering professional advice on business management C. supplying useful information of your potential buyers D. arranging meetings with government officials 40. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To point out the importance of public libraries. B. To encourage people to work in public libraries. C. To introduce the improved services of public libraries. D. To call for the modernization of public library systems. 【答案】36. C 37. C 38. B 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何使用改造升级后现代公共图书馆。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Check out a book中“Via such networks, libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles. Once the book you've requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you by e-mail, so you can pick it up.( 通过这样的网络，图书馆通过运载车辆的使用彼此分享图书。一旦你要的书送到最近的书店，他们会通过电子邮件通知你，你就可以去取了。)”可知，合作网络连接的公共图书馆通过向附近的图书馆分支机构发送所需的书籍，使读者受益。故选C项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. ( 你可以借DVD电影、CD音乐和流行杂志。一些图书馆甚至借出玩具和游戏。)”可知，从公共图书馆可以外借DVD电影、CD音乐、流行杂志、玩具和游戏等物品。故选C项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book. (你可能会发现带着你的孩子去半个小时的“故事时间”是一种放松，那时你安静地坐在角落里看一本好书，)”可知，带孩子去半小时的“故事时间”，可以让父母享受安静的阅读。故选B项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce（商会）and government agencies, and they will offer printing and database services you need. (许多图书馆会通过商会和政府机构分享本地提供的商业管理信息，并提供你需要的打印和数据库服务。)”可知，你当地的图书馆可以通过提供相关信息和支持服务来帮助你创业。故选A项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章标题How to Use a Modern Public Library（如何使用一个现代公共图书馆）和第一段中的“you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better. They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business.（你可能会惊讶地发现图书馆已经变得更好了。他们已经把自己变成了一个地方，在那里你可以发展你对知识的热爱，遇见有趣的人，或者发现如何创业）”。再结合几个小标题：Check out a book（借一本书）； Check out other items（借其他物品）；Join targeted reading groups（加入有针对性的阅读小组）；Start a business using the help of your local library（在当地图书馆的帮助下创业）可知，本文主要介绍了在经过改善后的图书馆里，人们可以做些什么，即：经过改善后的图书馆可以给人们提供什么服务。故选C。 B Once there was a poor lady who lived on a hill near the seashore. Her husband died. She had no children and lived by herself. She was so poor that she had to work hard every day. But one night as she sat at the table, the lady said to herself, “I wish I could be of some use to the world. Why can't I do good to someone else besides myself?” At last, she came up with an idea. She decided that she would keep a lighted lamp at the window for the sailors every night. She found that ships sometimes hit the rocks in the sea, since there was no lighthouse to warn them of the danger at night. Maybe her lamp would warn them when their ships came near the rocks on the coast. The lady felt glad when the thought came into her mind. She found that, if she worked an hour longer each night, she could make enough money to pay for the oil for the lamp. So she worked late and made money to buy the oil and then she placed the lamp at the window each night. In this way she saved many lives. She did this for five years without any reward, or the hope of reward. However, good deeds are often found out. The sailors whose lives had been saved began to send gifts to her from faraway countries. They sent her tea from China, cloth from India, silk from France and grapes from Spain. But the poor lady did not need these gifts to make her happy. She gave many of them to the poor and the sick. She was happy with the thought that she was doing something good. So, as long as she lived, she would light her lamp each night and place it at the window. 41. How might sailors feel when they saw the lamp at the window? A. Nervous. B. Thankful. C. Sorry. D. Proud. 42. How did the lady get the money to pay for the oil? A. She sold tea and grapes to others. B. She raised money from the sailors. C. She got money from the government. D. She worked one more hour each night. 43. What can we know about the lady? A She knew the sailors. B. She worked on a ship. C. She was kind-hearted. D. She lived alone on the sea. 44. Why was the lady happy? A. Because more and more people knew her. B. Because she became much richer than before. C. Because she received great reward from others. D. Because she helped many people in her own way. 45. What's the best title for the text? A. The Lady's Lamp B. Ships in the Sea C. Gifts from Sailors D. Love for the Poor 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位独自生活的女士每天晚上在窗户上放一盏灯为船员指明靠岸的方向，而油费是她每晚多工作一个小时赚来的，她为自己能够帮助很多人感到很快乐。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段的“The sailors whose lives had been saved began to send gifts to her from faraway countries. They sent her tea from China, cloth from India, silk from France and grapes from Spain.”可知，获救的水手们开始从遥远的国度给她送去礼物。他们送她来自中国的茶，来自印度的布料，来自法国的丝绸，来自西班牙的葡萄。由此推知，当水手们看到窗户上的灯时，他们对这个女人很是感谢。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“She found that, if she worked an hour longer each night, she could make enough money to pay for the oil for the lamp.”可知，她发现，如果她每晚多工作一个小时，她就能赚到足够的钱来支付灯的油费。即那位女士每晚多工作一个小时来赚取油费。故选D。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第2题的分析可知，那位女士每晚多工作一个小时赚取油费为船员指明靠岸的方向。根据倒数第二段的“But the poor lady did not need these gifts to make her happy. She gave many of them to the poor and the sick.”可知，但是这位贫穷的女士不需要这些礼物来让她开心。她将许多礼物捐给了穷人和病人。由此推知，她心地善良。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“She was happy with the thought that she was doing something good. ”可知，想到自己在做一件好事，她就很高兴。根据第三段的“She decided that she would keep a lighted lamp at the window for the sailors every night. ”可知，她决定每天晚上在窗户上为水手们放一盏灯。由此推知，她高兴是因为她用自己的方式帮助了很多人。故选D。 【45题详解】 标题判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第三段的“She decided that she would keep a lighted lamp at the window for the sailors every night. （她决定每天晚上在窗户上为水手们放一盏灯）”和最后一段的“So, as long as she lived, she would light her lamp each night and place it at the window.（因此，只要她活着，她就为每晚点亮放在窗口的灯）”可知，文章主要讲述了一位独自生活的女士每天晚上在窗户上放一盏灯为船员指明靠岸的方向，很多船员的生命因此得救，女士为自己能帮助别人而感到开心。lamp（灯）是全文的一个关键词，因此A项“女士的灯”作为标题合适。故选A。 C As summer comes near, many children are really happy to forget about school for a few months. However, studies have found that children typically forget between one and three months’ worth of school learning during the summer months. Spelling and math abilities suffer the most, while reading is not really influenced by the time off. The most probable reason for this is that most children read at least occasionally outside of the classroom, whether newspapers, magazines, books, or video game guides. However, their math and spelling skills only get exercised in the school setting. The original purpose of summer vacations was to let farm children have time off to help work in the fields in the high growing season, but this reason is no longer valid since fewer kids actually work on farms today. Some cities in the United States, such as Los Angeles, have moved to a year-round school calendar, which may help reduce the academic decline that occurs during the long summer vacation. Most cities still use the normal nine and a half-month calendars. To improve skills and to maintain a good level of preparation, experts recommend trips to museums, summer camps, and visits to libraries to keep kids mentally active and interested throughout the summer. There are other educational systems that provide vacations while still keeping students’ skills sharp. For example, in Japan students attend class for seven weeks continuously, followed by two weeks of vacation. This continues throughout the year. In Italy, students attend class six days per week, but finish at 1:30 PM each day, so that school does not dominate their life the way that it does in America. Educational specialists fear that the three-month summer vacation stops the continuity of learning. Just as students become accustomed to new concepts in reading, writing, or critical thinking skills, they “shut down” for an extended period. When they go back to school after the long summer vacation, they take up to two months to return to their previous level of understanding. And so the debate continues: whether to continue the present vacations or to seek changes. 46. Spelling and math abilities suffer the most during the summer months because children _______. A. take the summer vacation too seriously B. do little work of math or spelling C. don’t like spelling and math D. have to help work in the fields 47. What can be learned from the passage? A. Students read in summer vacations. B. Nowadays no children work on farm in summer vacations. C. The United States has cancelled summer vacations. D. The nine and a half-month calendars help improve skills. 48. What is one of the advantages of Japan and Italy’s educational systems? A. They provide students with shorter vacations every year. B. The students have more free time of their own to play. C. They offer vacations without affecting students’ skills. D. The students attend classes for longer time every week. 49. What does the underlined phrase “shut down” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Stop learning. B. Get sick. C. Go on vacation. D. Concentrate on their studies. 50. What is the best title for the passage? A. How to Spend Summer Vacations B. No More Summer Vacations C. Summer Vacations: Change or Not D. New Educational Systems Needed 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. C 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究发现，暑假几个月里，孩子们通常会忘记一到三个月的学习内容，学生的学术水平受到一定影响，所以是否要对目前的假期做出改变仍在讨论。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Spelling and math abilities suffer the most, while reading is not really influenced by the time off. The most probable reason for this is that most children read at least occasionally outside of the classroom, whether newspapers, magazines, books, or video game guides. However, their math and spelling skills only get exercised in the school setting. (拼写和数学能力受到的影响最大，而阅读能力并没有受到休假时间的影响。最可能的原因是，大多数孩子至少偶尔会在课堂外阅读，无论是报纸、杂志、书籍还是电子游戏指南。然而，他们的数学和拼写技能只有在学校才能得到锻炼。)”可知拼写和数学能力在夏季受到的影响最大，是因为孩子在假期很少做数学或拼写作业，故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Spelling and math abilities suffer the most, while reading is not really influenced by the time off. The most probable reason for this is that most children read at least occasionally outside of the classroom, whether newspapers, magazines, books, or video game guides. However, their math and spelling skills only get exercised in the school setting. (拼写和数学能力受到的影响最大，而阅读能力并没有受到休假时间的影响。最可能的原因是，大多数孩子至少偶尔会在课堂外阅读，无论是报纸、杂志、书籍还是电子游戏指南。然而，他们的数学和拼写技能只有在学校才能得到锻炼。)”可知大多数学生在暑假会读一些东西。故选A。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“There are other educational systems that provide vacations while still keeping students’ skills sharp. For example, in Japan students attend class for seven weeks continuously, followed by two weeks of vacation. This continues throughout the year. In Italy, students attend class six days per week, but finish at 1:30 PM each day, so that school does not dominate their life the way that it does in America. (还有其他的教育系统，在提供假期的同时，仍然保持学生的技能敏锐。例如，在日本，学生连续七周上课，然后有两周的假期。这种情况全年都在继续。在意大利，学生每周上六天课，但每天下午1:30下课，所以学校不会像在美国那样主宰他们的生活。)”可知日本和意大利都是在提供假期的同时还保持学生的技能，所以他们的优势就是在不影响学生技能的情况下提供假期。故选C。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Educational specialists fear that the three-month summer vacation stops the continuity of learning. Just as students become accustomed to new concepts in reading, writing, or critical thinking skills, they “shut down” for an extended period. (教育专家担心三个月的暑假会中断学习的连续性。就在学生们习惯于阅读、写作或批判性思维技能方面的新概念时，他们shut down了很长一段时间)”由此可知,学生们会中断几个月的学习，所以shut down意思就是“停止学习”，故选A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“Educational specialists fear that the three-month summer vacation stops the continuity of learning. Just as students become accustomed to new concepts in reading, writing, or critical thinking skills, they “shut down” for an extended period. When they go back to school after the long summer vacation, they take up to two months to return to their previous level of understanding. And so the debate continues: whether to continue the present vacations or to seek changes. (教育专家担心三个月的暑假会中断学习的连续性。就在学生们习惯于阅读、写作或批判性思维技能方面的新概念时，他们会“关闭”很长一段时间。当他们在漫长的暑假后回到学校时，他们需要两个月的时间才能恢复到以前的理解水平。因此，争论仍在继续：是继续目前的假期，还是寻求改变。)”可知文章主要介绍一项研究发现，暑假几个月里，孩子们通常会忘记一到三个月的学习内容，学生的学术水平受到一定影响，所以是否要对目前的假期做出改变仍在讨论，所以C选项“暑假：改变还是不改变”符合主旨大意，适合做标题，故选C。 D A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields, collecting information about how plants are growing. The project aims to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment. The Mineral project is run by a company called X, which is created by Alphabet — the same company that owns Google. X often focuses on projects with big goals that seem almost impossible at first. With the number of people on earth getting bigger each year, more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. As weather patterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task is becoming even more difficult. Some experts say that to feed everyone, more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10,000 years. In the past, farmers tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, using methods that were not always healthy for the environment — more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides. Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms to produce more by improving conditions for each plant. Elliot Grant, who leads the project, says the goal is to “manage the plant instead of the plot.” Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having and how these problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies”. At first, the buggies were very simple. They were built on bicycles and took pictures with cell phones. Over time, they’ve been improved repeatedly. The plant buggies roll on four wheels and are high enough to glide (滑行) over rows of plants without hurting them. They’re covered in solar panels and have strong wheels, allowing them to roll through muddy fields. The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size. Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldn’t track every plant. Now, with Mineral’s robots, they can. By collecting lots of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will grow. Studying each individual plant could end up saving time and money. For example, if robots can spot which plants have diseases, farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entire crop, allowing farmers to only fertilize and water the plants that truly need it. 51. What’s the Mineral project’s goal? A. To replace farmers with robots. B. To design and sell farming robots. C. To better handle environmental pollution. D. To improve food production in a green way. 52. Which word can best describe the company X? A. Ambitious B. Productive C. Potential D. Profitable 53. What contributes to the need for more food? A. The increasing population. B. The constant disasters. C. People’s bigger appetite. D. The development of industry. 54. What does the underlined part “the plot” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The series of events. B. A secret plan. C. The mark on a map. D. A piece of farmland. 55. What is special about plant buggies? A. They can collect soil information. B. They can make weather predictions. C. They can monitor each plant’s condition. D. They can help fertilize and water the crops. 【答案】51. D 52. A 53. A 54. D 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了一项名为“Mineral”的研究项目创造了在农田里移动的机器人，收集关于植物如何生长的信息。该项目旨在以环保的方式来帮助农民提高农作物产量。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields, collecting information about how plants are growing. The project aims to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment.(一个名为Mineral的研究项目创造了在农田里移动的机器人，收集植物生长的信息。该项目旨在利用计算机帮助农民以对环境有益的方式种植更多粮食。) ”可知，Mineral项目的目标是以绿色方式提高粮食生产。故选D项。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The Mineral project is run by a company called X, which is created by Alphabet — the same company that owns Google. X often focuses on projects with big goals that seem almost impossible at first.(Mineral项目由一家名为X的公司运营，该公司由拥有谷歌的Alphabet公司创建。X经常关注那些一开始看起来几乎不可能实现的大目标项目。)”可知，X公司经常关注那些一开始看起来几乎不可能实现的大目标项目，故推断X公司是有野心的，故选A项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“With the number of people on earth getting bigger each year, more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. As weather patterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task is becoming even more difficult. Some experts say that to feed everyone, more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10,000 years.(随着地球上的人口逐年增加，为了养活每个人，需要种植更多的粮食。由于气候危机导致天气模式不断变化，这项任务变得更加困难。一些专家说，为了养活所有人，未来50年需要种植的粮食比过去1万年还要多。)可知，不断增长的人口导致了对更多食物的需求。故选A项。 54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“In the past, farmers tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, using methods that were not always healthy for the environment — more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides.”(过去，农民们试图快速增加产量，但采用的方法并不总是对环境有益——扩大耕地、使用化肥和杀虫剂。）以及第四段中“Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms to produce more by improving conditions for each plant.”(相反，该Mineral项目的重点是通过改善每颗作物的条件来提高农场产量。)可知，在过去，农民试图增加更多田地来快速增加产量，但是现在通过改善每颗作物的条件来提高农场产量。故可猜测plot为“一地块”的意思，结合选项D项A piece of farmland“一块农田”意思一致。故选D项。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The plant buggies roll on four wheels and are high enough to glide (滑行) over rows of plants without hurting them. They’re covered in solar panels and have strong wheels, allowing them to roll through muddy fields. The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size.”(这种植物小车有四个轮子，高度足够高，可以在一排排植物上滑行而不伤害它们。它们覆盖着太阳能电池板，有坚固的轮子，可以在泥泞的田野里滚动。机器人可以拍摄植物的详细照片，跟踪每颗作物的位置，并测量植物的大小。)可知，植物小车可以监控每株作物的状况。故选C项。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共35分) 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 A major source of teen stress is school exams and test anxiety is not uncommon.

If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better. It’s been years since they were dusty little rooms with books. They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge meet interesting people, or find out how to start a business. Check out a book. While libraries still loan out(出借)books, you’ll find it easier to get a copy of whatever you’re looking for, thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries. Via such networks, libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles. Once the book you’ve requested is delivered to the nearest branch, they will inform you by e-mail, so you can pick it up. Check out other items. The library is now a multimedia zone, loaded with information in many formats(载体形式). You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. Some libraries even loan out toys and games. If a popular magazine you want isn’t offered and the library keeps a list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown. Join targeted reading groups. Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted to various age groups. Perhaps you’d like to learn a language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a language group you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to accommodate you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book. Start a business using the help of your local library. If you want to have a business of your own, your local library can become a launch space for it. In library books and computers, you can find information on starting a business. Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce(商会)and government agencies, and they will offer printing, faxing and database services you need. 36. Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by______. A. sharing their books on the Internet B. giving access to online reading at a library branch C. sending a needed book to a library branch nearby D. making the checkout procedures diverse 37. According to Paragraph 3, what items may be checked out from a public library? A. A magazine and an e-book. B. A game and an oil painting. C. A music CD and a kid’s toy. D. A DVD and a video player 38. As is described in Paragraph 4, taking a small kid to a half-hour Story Time allows ______. A. the kid to learn a new language B. the parent to enjoy quiet reading C. the kid to overcome reading difficulties D. the parent to meet their program sponsor 39. Your local library can help you start a business by ______. A. providing relevant information and supporting services B. offering professional advice on business management C. supplying useful information of your potential buyers D. arranging meetings with government officials 40. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To point out the importance of public libraries. B. To encourage people to work in public libraries. C. To introduce the improved services of public libraries. D. To call for the modernization of public library systems. B Once there was a poor lady who lived on a hill near the seashore. Her husband died. She had no children and lived by herself. She was so poor that she had to work hard every day. But one night as she sat at the table, the lady said to herself, “I wish I could be of some use to the world. Why can't I do good to someone else besides myself?” At last, she came up with an idea. She decided that she would keep a lighted lamp at the window for the sailors every night. She found that ships sometimes hit the rocks in the sea, since there was no lighthouse to warn them of the danger at night. Maybe her lamp would warn them when their ships came near the rocks on the coast. The lady felt glad when the thought came into her mind. She found that, if she worked an hour longer each night, she could make enough money to pay for the oil for the lamp. So she worked late and made money to buy the oil and then she placed the lamp at the window each night. In this way she saved many lives. She did this for five years without any reward, or the hope of reward. However, good deeds are often found out. The sailors whose lives had been saved began to send gifts to her from faraway countries. They sent her tea from China, cloth from India, silk from France and grapes from Spain. But the poor lady did not need these gifts to make her happy. She gave many of them to the poor and the sick. She was happy with the thought that she was doing something good. So, as long as she lived, she would light her lamp each night and place it at the window. 41. How might sailors feel when they saw the lamp at the window? A. Nervous. B. Thankful. C. Sorry. D. Proud. 42. How did the lady get the money to pay for the oil? A. She sold tea and grapes to others. B. She raised money from the sailors. C. She got money from the government. D She worked one more hour each night. 43. What can we know about the lady? A. She knew the sailors. B. She worked on a ship. C. She was kind-hearted. D. She lived alone on the sea. 44. Why was the lady happy? A. Because more and more people knew her. B. Because she became much richer than before. C. Because she received great reward from others. D. Because she helped many people in her own way. 45. What's the best title for the text? A. The Lady's Lamp B. Ships in the Sea C. Gifts from Sailors D. Love for the Poor C As summer comes near, many children are really happy to forget about school for a few months. However, studies have found that children typically forget between one and three months’ worth of school learning during the summer months. Spelling and math abilities suffer the most, while reading is not really influenced by the time off. The most probable reason for this is that most children read at least occasionally outside of the classroom, whether newspapers, magazines, books, or video game guides. However, their math and spelling skills only get exercised in the school setting. The original purpose of summer vacations was to let farm children have time off to help work in the fields in the high growing season, but this reason is no longer valid since fewer kids actually work on farms today. Some cities in the United States, such as Los Angeles, have moved to a year-round school calendar, which may help reduce the academic decline that occurs during the long summer vacation. Most cities still use the normal nine and a half-month calendars. To improve skills and to maintain a good level of preparation, experts recommend trips to museums, summer camps, and visits to libraries to keep kids mentally active and interested throughout the summer. There are other educational systems that provide vacations while still keeping students’ skills sharp. For example, in Japan students attend class for seven weeks continuously, followed by two weeks of vacation. This continues throughout the year. In Italy, students attend class six days per week, but finish at 1:30 PM each day, so that school does not dominate their life the way that it does in America. Educational specialists fear that the three-month summer vacation stops the continuity of learning. Just as students become accustomed to new concepts in reading, writing, or critical thinking skills, they “shut down” for an extended period. When they go back to school after the long summer vacation, they take up to two months to return to their previous level of understanding. And so the debate continues: whether to continue the present vacations or to seek changes. 46. Spelling and math abilities suffer the most during the summer months because children _______. A. take the summer vacation too seriously B. do little work of math or spelling C. don’t like spelling and math D. have to help work in the fields 47. What can be learned from the passage? A. Students read in summer vacations. B. Nowadays no children work on farm in summer vacations. C The United States has cancelled summer vacations. D. The nine and a half-month calendars help improve skills. 48. What is one of the advantages of Japan and Italy’s educational systems? A. They provide students with shorter vacations every year. B. The students have more free time of their own to play. C. They offer vacations without affecting students’ skills. D. The students attend classes for longer time every week. 49. What does the underlined phrase “shut down” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Stop learning. B. Get sick. C. Go on vacation. D. Concentrate on their studies. 50. What is the best title for the passage? A. How to Spend Summer Vacations B. No More Summer Vacations C. Summer Vacations: Change or Not D. New Educational Systems Needed D A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields, collecting information about how plants are growing. The project aims to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment. The Mineral project is run by a company called X, which is created by Alphabet — the same company that owns Google. X often focuses on projects with big goals that seem almost impossible at first. With the number of people on earth getting bigger each year, more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. As weather patterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task is becoming even more difficult. Some experts say that to feed everyone, more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10,000 years. In the past, farmers tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, using methods that were not always healthy for the environment — more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides. Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms to produce more by improving conditions for each plant. Elliot Grant, who leads the project, says the goal is to “manage the plant instead of the plot.” Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having and how these problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies”. At first, the buggies were very simple. They were built on bicycles and took pictures with cell phones. Over time, they’ve been improved repeatedly. The plant buggies roll on four wheels and are high enough to glide (滑行) over rows of plants without hurting them. They’re covered in solar panels and have strong wheels, allowing them to roll through muddy fields. The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size. Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldn’t track every plant. Now, with Mineral’s robots, they can. By collecting lots of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will grow. Studying each individual plant could end up saving time and money. For example, if robots can spot which plants have diseases, farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entire crop, allowing farmers to only fertilize and water the plants that truly need it. 51. What’s the Mineral project’s goal? A. To replace farmers with robots. B. To design and sell farming robots. C. To better handle environmental pollution. D. To improve food production in a green way. 52. Which word can best describe the company X? A. Ambitious B. Productive C. Potential D. Profitable 53. What contributes to the need for more food? A. The increasing population. B. The constant disasters. C. People’s bigger appetite. D. The development of industry. 54. What does the underlined part “the plot” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The series of events. B. A secret plan. C. The mark on a map. D. A piece of farmland. 55. What is special about plant buggies? A. They can collect soil information. B. They can make weather predictions. C. They can monitor each plant’s condition. D. They can help fertilize and water the crops. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共35分) 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.
