For simple tasks, such as running web-based apps, browsing the Internet, or sending an email, a low-powered, low-priced laptop fits the bill. That’s where budget laptops come in. You get what you pay for. Budget laptops often come with small drive space, low memory, and slow processors. You won’t be able to use them to run the latest graphics-heavy computer games, but for giving your kids access to the web, sending a teen off to college with a computer for their studies or for you to stay up-to-date with Facebook, a budget laptop could be an ideal purchase. Our top pick is the HP Envy x360 15z (available at HP), a 2-in-1 laptop with high quality and smart performance that can be found for under $700 and competes with laptops that cost twice as much. Many of our picks are even more affordable, so there’s sure to be a laptop for anybody. These are the best budget laptops we tested, ranked in order: HP Envy x360 15z Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 HP Stream 14 Acer Chromebook Spin 514 Asus Zenbook 14 Acer Aspire 5 Google Pixelbook Go HP Chromebook x360 Lenovo Ideapad 3 Lenovo Chromebook Duet Recommendations are independently chosen by Reviewer’s editors and you can complete your purchases through our links. 21. In what case couldn’t a budget laptop be a good choice? A. Browsing the Internet. B. Sending Emails. C. Running complicated games. D. Editing school work. 22. What makes HP Envy x360 15z stand out? A. High processing performance. B. High quality with good price. C. Thinner and smart shape. D. Competitive price with lower power. 23. What is the purpose of this text? A. To introduce the functions of laptops. B. To contrast the prices of some laptops. C. To rank the best budget laptops. D. To recommend some budget laptops. B When you see someone take that first sip of freshly made milk tea, their faces look like pure joy. Across the world, customers flock to their favorite spots to meet with friends and savor sips of these tasty drinks. In the early 2000s, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that earned a foothold in the industry were concerned: Would milk tea just be another fad (一时风尚) food? And with so much new excitement for this product, would, people be able to distinguish milk tea companies? These were the questions that Serenitea, a Manila-based milk-tea company, faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog. Unsure of what consumers truly felt towards the drink, they offered as many flavors as possible. They also had no clear definition of how they were distinct — their brand promise, product line, and product packaging all seemed nearly identical to their competitors. How could they define themselves, in a way that would deeply resonate? Like Airbnb, Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila, which specializes in drilling down to the deep consumer “why”. The agency conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically, they probed the consumer’s deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. Their research revealed that milk tea triggered three consistent psychological responses. People connected to milk through the concept of nurturing; they fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing properties; respondents would recall receiving tea when they had indigestion problems or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered the three psychological cornerstones of the milk tea experience: nurturing, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was crucial. By including them into the core of their brand strategy, they charted an entirely new path. 24. What do the underlined words “earned a foothold” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Made an adjustment. B. Won a position. C. Lost the initiative. D. Achieved a breakthrough. 25. What was Serenitea’s main concern in 2014? A. Being confused with other brands. B. The rapid growth of milk tea brands. C. The possibility of milk tea catching on. D. Falling behind the changing consumer tastes. 26. What did CIA Bootleg Manila specialize in? A. Product packaging design. B. Market expansion strategies. C. Analysis of customer psychology. D. Flavor innovation and development. 27. What was among the findings of the research? A. Milk tea was popular among teenagers. B. Customers found all milk tea identical. C. Customers associated milk tea with health. D. Milk tea brands ignored consumers’ feelings. C An ancient chemical process enabled Earth to become a fertile place packed with life. Now researchers are imitating this process in an attempt to slow global warming. Every plant, animal, and person owes their life to a series of chemical reactions: photosynthesis, which turns water and carbon dioxide into food using sunlight. As benefit receivers of photosynthesis, humans depend on plants in a sort of carbon seesaw (跷跷板). Plants take in CO₂ and release O₂. We do the opposite, taking in O₂ and releasing CO₂. This seesaw is part of the much broader carbon cycle that has affected the radiation balance of our planet. Cutting down plenty of forests and the burning of carbon-based fossil (化石) fuels cause the levels of CO₂, a major greenhouse gas, to rise. And plants on Earth along with other natural parts of the carbon cycle can’t restore the balance on their own. But what if we could copy what plants do to seize some of that extra CO₂ to make fuels constantly, instead of relying so heavily on fossilized carbon?“ Artificial photosynthesis is a really attractive approach,” says Jillian Dempsey, a chemist at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. “You’re able to store the energy of the sun in the bonds of molecules (分子).” A hydrogen device with 12.6% efficiency that Agbo recently built was less than one inch across. For artificial photosynthesis to become practical, it needs to produce enough fuels to compete with the world’s existing energy supply of relatively inexpensive and abundant fossil fuels. It will take a lot of time and money before artificial photosynthesis can compete with fossil fuels. But the needed expenses won’t come close to the social cost of climate change. A recent survey of more than 2,000 economists projected the economic damages from climate change will reach $1.7 trillion per year by 2025 and roughly $30 trillion per year by 2075. Artificial photosynthesis could inch us back toward a better balance on the planet’s carbon seesaw. 28. What is researchers’ purpose to copy photosynthesis? A. To release some of the extra CO₂. B. To reduce the cost of using fossil fuels. C. To reduce the speed of global warming. D. To turn water and carbon dioxide into artificial sunlight. 29. What can we infer from paragraph 2? A. Plants can turn carbon dioxide into food using sunlight. B. Carbon seesaw is part of the less broader carbon cycle. C. Avoiding the burning of fossil fuels can help protect the environment. D Carbon seesaw makes a difference to the radiation balance of the earth. 30. What is one disadvantage of the artificial photosynthesis? A. Lack of mass production. B. Its negative effect on the environment. C. Disturbing the balance of the planet’s carbon seesaw. D. Inability to store the energy of the sun in the bonds of molecules. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. How Does the Artificial Device Works? B. Wide Application of Artificial Device Is a Long Way to Run C. Copying Nature to Fight Climate Change D. Copying Photosynthesis to Change Society D There’ve been plenty of Tokyo 2020 headlines about Hend Zaza, the Syrian table tennis genius who, at 12 years old, is one of the youngest Olympians of all time. But there are some striking personal stories on the other side of the age spectrum (年龄谱), too. Oksana Chusovitina, a 46-year-old gymnast from Uzbekistan, impressively competed in her eighth Olympic Games this summer. Chusovitina, who competed in a sport dominated by teenage athletes, received a standing ovation (鼓掌欢呼) after performing in what she said would be her last Olympics. “I feel very good to be here. But this will for sure be my last Olympics, she told reporters. “I’m 46 years old. Nothing is going to change that. I’m alive, I’m happy, I’m here without any injuries, and I can stand on my own,” she added with a laugh. Then there’s Australian equestrian (马术师) Mary Hanna, who at age 66 is the second-oldest female athlete in Olympic history and the oldest Olympian competing in Tokyo. “Through their efforts, Hanna and Chusovitina are changing the conversation around age and agility. They’re proof that you can compete or put yourself up to a physical challenge way past what is considered your peak,” said Michael Stones, a professor at Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada, who researches healthy aging and physical performance. “It’s great that this year’s Olympics include so many younger and older athletes,” he told HuffPost. “They show that age alone is not an insurmountable (不可克服的) barrier to excellence in physical activities.” These Olympians also lend the games some experience and maturity, especially in team sports, said Sandra Hunter, a professor of exercise science at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “These older athletes can help guide the younger ones, particularly with all the mental and psychological challenges that we’ve seen,” she said. “They bring a level of maturity to the teams and surrounding athletes that allows the younger athletes to learn.” “If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.” The quote from American writer Robert Fritz is highly consistent with the Olympic spirit as well as enlightening us on our way to success. 32. Who is Oksana Chusovitina? A. A 12-year-old table tennis player. B A 46-year-old gymnast from Syria. C. A 66-year-old Australian equestrian. D. An eight-time Olympian from Uzbekistan. 33. The first paragraph is intended to________. A. lead in the topic of the passage B. stress the importance of being a genius C. tell the difference between younger and older athletes D. introduce a research on performances of younger athletes 34. What’s professor Michael Stones’s attitude to those younger and older Olympians? A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent. 35. What can be inferred from the passage? A Olympic athletes should try their best to be uninjured. B. Olympic athletes prove success is not related to age. C. Olympians show that age alone is not an insurmountable barrier. D. Older athletes are changing the conversation around age and agility. 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。 Throughout my childhood, I listened to adults repeatedly describe children as self- centered. They only focused on themselves. ___36___ I’d like to speak from my personal experience. I founded the non-profit Colorbreak in 2019 when I was in 8th grade with the mission of kids helping kids. I came up with the idea when my little brother Jason, who was 11 years old, got a serious disease. He was treated at SickKids hospital and they took such good care of him that I wanted to help other kids who were suffering, the way SickKids helped my brother. Colorbreak is an organization entirely run by youth —from its leadership to its volunteers. ___37___ There are so many reasons why students should volunteer. Volunteering creates a brighter future because it provides vital assistance to worthy causes and people in need. ___38___ For example, volunteering helps kids build empathy (共情), as they give their time and care to help someone who is in need of help. And while volunteering, you may meet new people and talking with a stranger who shares your interests and is working for the same cause may turn into a pleasant experience. Bringing existing friends along on a project can be a fun way to bond with them. ___39___ Volunteering fosters the development of young people all over the world by encouraging them to connect, communicate, and make plans to help their communities. Getting involved early and often can show firsthand just how much volunteering matters. ___40___ You can volunteer at your local library, an animal shelter, a community center, and more! A. Well, I disagree with that. B. The possibilities are endless. C. What are the causes of the phenomenon? D. There are also many benefits to the volunteers themselves. E. Thus committing to a shared activity increases your sense of happiness. F. Volunteering also helps to form a friendship between volunteers and those in need. G.

The majority of them didn’t have working experience for they had spent most of their time at school studying academic subjects. It was not until they graduated from college that they realized it was a challenge for them to land jobs. Jimmy, one of these job hunters, was a young academically excellent person. One day, after making good preparations, he went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. In spite of fierce competition, he managed to pass the first interview. What a lucky dog! Jimmy was informed to come for the next round in a few days — the last interview for the company to make the final decision. The big day finally came. He dressed neatly, the grey tie matching perfectly the decent suit. Blood rushing to his face and heart pounding heavily, he tried to calm down, and then took a few deep breaths. It was his turn. The interviewer, an elegant lady, discovered from the CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research. After several rounds of questions related to the position, she asked, “Have you ever done any part-time jobs?” “None.” After a while, the interviewer asked who paid for Jimmy’s school fees. The youth answered in a low voice, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was my mother who paid for all my school fees.” She continued, “What did your mother do?” “My mother worked as a clothes cleaner.” The lady requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The interviewer paused for a second, leaning against the chair, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” Ashamed, Jimmy replied, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.” She nodded, adding, “I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me back here tomorrow morning.” 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Back home, Jimmy requested his mother to let him clean her hands. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jimmy went to the interviewer’s office. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高2022级高三上学期开学考试 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上,写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is Tony usually like?

I’m sure you’ve all noticed the snowstorm has become worse since we arrived here at 8 a.m. The school staff and I apologize for not realizing how heavy this storm would be. It was reported that there would be 5 cm of snow. But indeed, we currently have double that amount, and it’s expected to become over 20 cm by three o’clock. So, what does that mean? It will require classes to end now, at 11 o’clock. Lunch will still be served in the cafeteria; you may have it now. For senior students who have driven to school, you’re welcome to drive home, but please be careful. For everyone else, the school buses are coming at noon. You are advised to wait in the cafeteria until then. But please, for everyone in the school, call your parents to tell them what you’re doing. It’s quite a dangerous situation out there right now. And by this evening, we’ll have almost a meter of snow on the ground. Next, wait for an announcement from our school bus driver, Jamie Johnson. He will tell you more information about bus schedules and safety advice. Thanks, everyone—and please, stay safe out there. 第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Not everyone needs or can afford the latest, most powerful laptop out there. For simple tasks, such as running web-based apps, browsing the Internet, or sending an email, a low-powered, low-priced laptop fits the bill. That’s where budget laptops come in. You get what you pay for. Budget laptops often come with small drive space, low memory, and slow processors. You won’t be able to use them to run the latest graphics-heavy computer games, but for giving your kids access to the web, sending a teen off to college with a computer for their studies or for you to stay up-to-date with Facebook, a budget laptop could be an ideal purchase. Our top pick is the HP Envy x360 15z (available at HP), a 2-in-1 laptop with high quality and smart performance that can be found for under $700 and competes with laptops that cost twice as much. Many of our picks are even more affordable, so there’s sure to be a laptop for anybody. These are the best budget laptops we tested, ranked in order: HP Envy x360 15z Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 HP Stream 14 Acer Chromebook Spin 514 Asus Zenbook 14 Acer Aspire 5 Google Pixelbook Go HP Chromebook x360 Lenovo Ideapad 3 Lenovo Chromebook Duet Recommendations are independently chosen by Reviewer’s editors and you can complete your purchases through our links. 21. In what case couldn’t a budget laptop be a good choice? A. Browsing the Internet. B. Sending Emails. C. Running complicated games. D. Editing school work. 22. What makes HP Envy x360 15z stand out? A. High processing performance. B. High quality with good price. C. Thinner and smart shape. D. Competitive price with lower power. 23. What is the purpose of this text? A. To introduce the functions of laptops. B. To contrast the prices of some laptops. C. To rank the best budget laptops. D. To recommend some budget laptops. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了一些经济型笔记本电脑。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Budget laptops often come with small drive space, low memory, and slow processors.”（经济型笔记本电脑的驱动器空间小，内存低，处理器速度慢。）和第三句“You won’t be able to use them to run the latest graphics-heavy computer games”（你不能用它们来运行最新的图形化的电脑游戏）可知，经济型笔记本电脑由于自身的局限性，无法运行复杂的电脑游戏。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“Our top pick is the HP Envy x360 15z (available at HP), a 2-in-1 laptop with high quality and smart performance that can be found for under $700 and competes with laptops that cost twice as much.”（我们的首选是惠普Envy x360 15z(在惠普有售)，这是一款高品质、智能性能的二合一笔记本电脑，售价不到700美元，可以与售价两倍于惠普的笔记本电脑竞争。）可知，该款电脑物美价廉。故选B项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“That’s where budget laptops come in.”（这就是廉价笔记本电脑的用武之地。）及第二段最后一句“These are the best budget laptops we tested, ranked in order”（以下是我们测试过的性价比最高的笔记本电脑）及最后一段“Recommendations are independently chosen by Reviewer’s editors and you can complete your purchases through our links.”（推荐是由Reviewer的编辑独立选择的，您可以通过我们的链接完成购买。）可推知，本文的目的在于介绍一些经济型笔记本电脑。故选D项。 B When you see someone take that first sip of freshly made milk tea, their faces look like pure joy. Across the world, customers flock to their favorite spots to meet with friends and savor sips of these tasty drinks. In the early 2000s, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that earned a foothold in the industry were concerned: Would milk tea just be another fad (一时风尚) food? And with so much new excitement for this product, would, people be able to distinguish milk tea companies? These were the questions that Serenitea, a Manila-based milk-tea company, faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog. Unsure of what consumers truly felt towards the drink, they offered as many flavors as possible. They also had no clear definition of how they were distinct — their brand promise, product line, and product packaging all seemed nearly identical to their competitors. How could they define themselves, in a way that would deeply resonate? Like Airbnb, Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila, which specializes in drilling down to the deep consumer “why”. The agency conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically, they probed the consumer’s deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. Their research revealed that milk tea triggered three consistent psychological responses. People connected to milk through the concept of nurturing; they fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing properties; respondents would recall receiving tea when they had indigestion problems or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered the three psychological cornerstones of the milk tea experience: nurturing, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was crucial. By including them into the core of their brand strategy, they charted an entirely new path. 24. What do the underlined words “earned a foothold” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Made an adjustment. B. Won a position. C. Lost the initiative. D. Achieved a breakthrough. 25 What was Serenitea’s main concern in 2014? A. Being confused with other brands. B. The rapid growth of milk tea brands. C. The possibility of milk tea catching on. D. Falling behind the changing consumer tastes. 26. What did CIA Bootleg Manila specialize in? A. Product packaging design. B. Market expansion strategies. C. Analysis of customer psychology. D. Flavor innovation and development. 27. What was among the findings of the research? A. Milk tea was popular among teenagers. B. Customers found all milk tea identical. C. Customers associated milk tea with health. D. Milk tea brands ignored consumers’ feelings. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Serenitea这个奶茶品牌在发展过程中遇到的挑战，以及他们如何通过深入研究消费者心理，找到了品牌的独特定位，从而开辟了一条全新的发展道路。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“These were the questions that Serenitea, a Manila- based milk- tea company, faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog.”（这些都是马尼拉奶茶公司Serenitea在2014年面临的问题。虽然成功地开了60家店，但他们发现自己陷入了战略迷雾。）可知，马尼拉奶茶公司Serenitea虽然已经开了60家店，在奶茶行业成功立足，但它仍然充满担忧。由此推知，“马尼拉奶茶公司Serenitea”是对划线词所在句中“The few brands that earned a foothold in the industry”的举例说明，其意为“为数不多的在这个行业站稳脚跟的品牌”，后置定语从句“that earned a foothold in the industry”中“earned a foothold”的意思是“赢得了一席之地；站稳脚跟”，即“Won a position”。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“And with so much new excitement for this product, would, people be able to distinguish milk tea companies? These were the questions that Serenitea, a Manila-based milk-tea company, faced in 2014. ”（伴随着这款产品带来的如此多的新兴奋点，人们能否区分开奶茶公司呢？这些是马尼拉一家奶茶公司Serenitea在2014年所面临的问题。）和第三段中“They also had no clear definition of how they were distinct — their brand promise, product line, and product packaging all seemed nearly identical to their competitors. How could they define themselves, in a way that would deeply resonate?”（他们也不清楚自己究竟有何独特之处——他们的品牌承诺、产品线和产品包装似乎都与竞争对手几乎一模一样。他们究竟该如何界定自身，才能引起消费者的强烈共鸣呢？）可推知，Serenitea在2014年的主要担忧是自身品牌与其他奶茶品牌没有区分度，容易混淆。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Like Airbnb, Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila, which specializes in drilling down to the deep consumer ‘why’. The agency conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically, they probed the consumer’s deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea.”（像Airbnb一样，Serenitea与一家名为CIA Bootleg Manila的机构合作，该机构专门研究深入探究消费者的‘为什么’。该机构进行了一系列以心理为基础的市场调查。具体来说，他们探究了消费者与奶茶更深层次的情感联系，包括他们童年对牛奶和茶的最早记忆。）可知，CIA Bootleg Manila进行了一系列以心理为基础的市场调查，专门深入探究消费者的心理。故选C项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Next, consumers connected tea to its healing properties; respondents would recall receiving tea when they had indigestion problems or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons.”（其次，消费者将奶茶与其治愈特性联系起来；受访者会回忆起当他们消化不良时收到茶，或者看到他们的父母为了健康原因喝草药茶。）可知，研究发现消费者把奶茶与健康联系起来。故选C项。 C An ancient chemical process enabled Earth to become a fertile place packed with life. Now researchers are imitating this process in an attempt to slow global warming. Every plant, animal, and person owes their life to a series of chemical reactions: photosynthesis, which turns water and carbon dioxide into food using sunlight. As benefit receivers of photosynthesis, humans depend on plants in a sort of carbon seesaw (跷跷板). Plants take in CO₂ and release O₂. We do the opposite, taking in O₂ and releasing CO₂. This seesaw is part of the much broader carbon cycle that has affected the radiation balance of our planet. Cutting down plenty of forests and the burning of carbon-based fossil (化石) fuels cause the levels of CO₂, a major greenhouse gas, to rise. And plants on Earth along with other natural parts of the carbon cycle can’t restore the balance on their own. But what if we could copy what plants do to seize some of that extra CO₂ to make fuels constantly, instead of relying so heavily on fossilized carbon?“ Artificial photosynthesis is a really attractive approach,” says Jillian Dempsey, a chemist at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. “You’re able to store the energy of the sun in the bonds of molecules (分子).” A hydrogen device with 12.6% efficiency that Agbo recently built was less than one inch across. For artificial photosynthesis to become practical, it needs to produce enough fuels to compete with the world’s existing energy supply of relatively inexpensive and abundant fossil fuels. It will take a lot of time and money before artificial photosynthesis can compete with fossil fuels. But the needed expenses won’t come close to the social cost of climate change. A recent survey of more than 2,000 economists projected the economic damages from climate change will reach $1.7 trillion per year by 2025 and roughly $30 trillion per year by 2075. Artificial photosynthesis could inch us back toward a better balance on the planet’s carbon seesaw. 28. What is researchers’ purpose to copy photosynthesis? A. To release some of the extra CO₂. B. To reduce the cost of using fossil fuels. C. To reduce the speed of global warming. D. To turn water and carbon dioxide into artificial sunlight. 29. What can we infer from paragraph 2? A. Plants can turn carbon dioxide into food using sunlight. B. Carbon seesaw is part of the less broader carbon cycle. C. Avoiding the burning of fossil fuels can help protect the environment. D. Carbon seesaw makes a difference to the radiation balance of the earth. 30. What is one disadvantage of the artificial photosynthesis? A. Lack of mass production. B. Its negative effect on the environment. C. Disturbing the balance of the planet’s carbon seesaw. D. Inability to store the energy of the sun in the bonds of molecules. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. How Does the Artificial Device Works? B. Wide Application of Artificial Device Is a Long Way to Run C. Copying Nature to Fight Climate Change D. Copying Photosynthesis to Change Society 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们正在模仿植物进行光合作用的过程，试图减缓全球变暖。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Now researchers are imitating this process in an attempt to slow global warming.(现在，研究人员正在模仿这一过程，试图减缓全球变暖)”可知，研究人员模仿光合作用的目的是试图减缓全球变暖的速度。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“This seesaw is part of the much broader carbon cycle that has affected the radiation balance of our planet.(这种碳跷跷板是更广泛的碳循环的一部分，碳循环影响地球辐射平衡)”可推知，碳跷跷板对地球的辐射平衡有影响。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“For artificial photosynthesis to become practical, it needs to produce enough fuels to compete with the world’s existing energy supply of relatively inexpensive and abundant fossil fuels. It will take a lot of time and money before artificial photosynthesis can compete with fossil fuels.(为了使人工光合作用变得实用，它需要生产足够的燃料来与世界上现有的相对便宜和丰富的化石燃料能源供应竞争。人工光合作用要想与化石燃料竞争，还需要大量的时间和金钱)”可知，人工光合作用需要大量的时间和金钱。由此推知，它的一个缺点是不能大批量生产。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“An ancient chemical process enabled Earth to become a fertile place packed with life. Now researchers are imitating this process in an attempt to slow global warming. Every plant, animal, and person owes their life to a series of chemical reactions: photosynthesis, which turns water and carbon dioxide into food using sunlight. (一个古老的化学过程使地球成为一个充满生命的肥沃之地。现在，研究人员正在模仿这一过程，试图减缓全球变暖。每一种植物、动物和人的生命都归功于一系列化学反应：光合作用，它利用阳光将水和二氧化碳转化为食物)”可知，全文主要讲的是科学家们正在模仿植物进行光合作用的过程，试图减缓全球变暖。由此可知，“模仿自然对抗气候变化”适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。 D There’ve been plenty of Tokyo 2020 headlines about Hend Zaza, the Syrian table tennis genius who, at 12 years old, is one of the youngest Olympians of all time. But there are some striking personal stories on the other side of the age spectrum (年龄谱), too. Oksana Chusovitina, a 46-year-old gymnast from Uzbekistan, impressively competed in her eighth Olympic Games this summer. Chusovitina, who competed in a sport dominated by teenage athletes, received a standing ovation (鼓掌欢呼) after performing in what she said would be her last Olympics. “I feel very good to be here. But this will for sure be my last Olympics, she told reporters. “I’m 46 years old. Nothing is going to change that. I’m alive, I’m happy, I’m here without any injuries, and I can stand on my own,” she added with a laugh. Then there’s Australian equestrian (马术师) Mary Hanna, who at age 66 is the second-oldest female athlete in Olympic history and the oldest Olympian competing in Tokyo. “Through their efforts, Hanna and Chusovitina are changing the conversation around age and agility. They’re proof that you can compete or put yourself up to a physical challenge way past what is considered your peak,” said Michael Stones, a professor at Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada, who researches healthy aging and physical performance. “It’s great that this year’s Olympics include so many younger and older athletes,” he told HuffPost. “They show that age alone is not an insurmountable (不可克服的) barrier to excellence in physical activities.” These Olympians also lend the games some experience and maturity, especially in team sports, said Sandra Hunter, a professor of exercise science at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “These older athletes can help guide the younger ones, particularly with all the mental and psychological challenges that we’ve seen,” she said. “They bring a level of maturity to the teams and surrounding athletes that allows the younger athletes to learn.” “If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.” The quote from American writer Robert Fritz is highly consistent with the Olympic spirit as well as enlightening us on our way to success. 32. Who is Oksana Chusovitina? A. A 12-year-old table tennis player. B. A 46-year-old gymnast from Syria. C. A 66-year-old Australian equestrian. D. An eight-time Olympian from Uzbekistan. 33. The first paragraph is intended to________. A. lead in the topic of the passage B. stress the importance of being a genius C. tell the difference between younger and older athletes D. introduce a research on performances of younger athletes 34. What’s professor Michael Stones’s attitude to those younger and older Olympians? A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent. 35. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Olympic athletes should try their best to be uninjured. B. Olympic athletes prove success is not related to age. C. Olympians show that age alone is not an insurmountable barrier. D. Older athletes are changing the conversation around age and agility. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了两位在奥运赛场上全力挑战自我的大龄运动员，她们展现了真正的奥运精神。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Oksana Chusovitina, a 46-year-old gymnast from Uzbekistan, impressively competed in her eighth Olympic Games this summer.(来自乌兹别克斯坦的46岁体操运动员Oksana Chusovitina在今年夏天参加了她的第八个奥运会，令人印象深刻。)”可知，Oksana Chusovitin是参加了八次夏季奥运会的乌兹别克斯坦体操运动员。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There’ve been plenty of Tokyo 2020 headlines about Hend Zaza, the Syrian table tennis genius who, at 12 years old, is one of the youngest Olympians of all time.(2020年东京奥运会上有很多关于叙利亚乒乓球天才Hend Zaza的头条新闻，他12岁，是有史以来最年轻的奥运选手之一。)”以及第二段“But there are some striking personal stories on the other side of the age spectrum (年龄谱), too.(但是，在年龄谱的另一边也有一些引人注目的个人故事。)”可知，开篇文章介绍介绍2020年东京奥运会上一名奥运历史上最年轻运动员入手，从而引出下文出现的大龄运动员的事迹。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的““It’s great that this year’s Olympics include so many younger and older athletes,” he told HuffPost. “ They show that age alone is not an insurmountable (不可克服的)barrier to excellence in physical activities.”(“今年的奥运会包括这么多年轻和年长的运动员，这真是太好了，”他告诉赫芬顿邮报。“他们表明，年龄本身并不是体育活动卓越的不可逾越的障碍。”)”可知，professor Michael Stones认为有这么多如此年轻的和年龄大的运动员很不错，由此可以推断，他对这些年轻和年纪大的运动员参加比赛表示支持。故选 C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的““ They show that age alone is not an insurmountable (不可克服的)barrier to excellence in physical activities.”(“他们表明，年龄本身并不是体育活动卓越的不可逾越障碍。”)”以及尾段中的““If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.”(“如果你把你的选择限制在看似可能或合理的事情上，你就会把自己与你真正想要的东西脱节，剩下的就是妥协。”)”可知，在体育活动方面，年龄问题是可以逾越的，我们不能把选择限制在看似合理的事情上，并结合全文介绍奥运史上年龄最大和最小运动员的事迹，我们可以推断出运动员的成功与否跟年龄无关。故选B项。 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。 Throughout my childhood, I listened to adults repeatedly describe children as self- centered. They only focused on themselves. ___36___ I’d like to speak from my personal experience. I founded the non-profit Colorbreak in 2019 when I was in 8th grade with the mission of kids helping kids. I came up with the idea when my little brother Jason, who was 11 years old, got a serious disease. He was treated at SickKids hospital and they took such good care of him that I wanted to help other kids who were suffering, the way SickKids helped my brother. Colorbreak is an organization entirely run by youth —from its leadership to its volunteers. ___37___ There are so many reasons why students should volunteer. Volunteering creates a brighter future because it provides vital assistance to worthy causes and people in need. ___38___ For example, volunteering helps kids build empathy (共情), as they give their time and care to help someone who is in need of help. And while volunteering, you may meet new people and talking with a stranger who shares your interests and is working for the same cause may turn into a pleasant experience. Bringing existing friends along on a project can be a fun way to bond with them. ___39___ Volunteering fosters the development of young people all over the world by encouraging them to connect, communicate, and make plans to help their communities. Getting involved early and often can show firsthand just how much volunteering matters. ___40___ You can volunteer at your local library, an animal shelter, a community center, and more! A. Well, I disagree with that. B. The possibilities are endless. C. What are the causes of the phenomenon? D. There are also many benefits to the volunteers themselves. E. Thus committing to a shared activity increases your sense of happiness. F. Volunteering also helps to form a friendship between volunteers and those in need. G I’m amazed by the students I work with who feel passionate about making a difference. 【答案】36. A 37. G 38. D 39. E 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了志愿活动的原因，好处以及重要意义。 【36题详解】 上文“Throughout my childhood, I listened to adults repeatedly describe children as self- centered. They only focused on themselves.(在我整个童年时期，我听到成年人反复描述孩子是以自我为中心的，他们只关注自己。)”指出一个观点：大多数人认为孩子是以自我为中心，只关注自己，下文“I’d like to speak from my personal experience. I founded the non-profit Colorbreak in 2019 when I was in 8th grade with the mission of kids helping kids.(我想从我个人的经验谈谈。我在2019年创立了非营利组织Colorbreak，当时我还在上八年级，其使命是帮助孩子们。)”用事实表明作者认为孩子并不是只以自我为中心，只关注自己，A项“我不同意。”符合，that代指上文，同时该选项引起下文，故选A。 【37题详解】 上文“Colorbreak is an organization entirely run by youth —from its leadership to its volunteers.(Colorbreak是一个完全由年轻人经营的组织——从它的领导层到它的志愿者。)”介绍Colorbreak这一组织，空处承接上文，也应是介绍这一组织，G项“和我一起工作的学生对改变世界充满热情，这让我很惊讶。”介绍了这一组织的成员，故选G。 【38题详解】 本段首句“There are so many reasons why students should volunteer.(学生应该做志愿者的原因有很多。)”为段落主题句，指出学生做志愿者的原因有很多，下文“Volunteering creates a brighter future because it provides vital assistance to worthy causes and people in need.(志愿工作创造了一个更光明的未来，因为它为有价值的事业和有需要的人提供了至关重要的援助。)”介绍了其中一个原因，空后“For example, volunteering helps kids build empathy(共情),as they give their time and care to help someone who is in need of help. And while volunteering, you may meet new people and talking with a stranger who shares your interests and is working for the same cause may turn into a pleasant experience. Bringing existing friends along on a project can be a fun way to bond with them.(例如，志愿服务可以帮助孩子建立同理心，因为他们会花时间和精力去帮助那些需要帮助的人。当你做志愿者的时候，你可能会遇到一些新朋友，和一个和你志同道合的陌生人聊天，这些都可能会成为一种愉快的经历。在一个项目中带上现有的朋友可以是一种与他们建立联系的有趣方式。)”具体解释了做志愿者的另一个好处——对志愿者自己有好处，D项“志愿者本身也有很多好处。”符合，统领空后内容，故选D。 【39题详解】 上文“And while volunteering, you may meet new people and talking with a stranger who shares your interests and is working for the same cause may turn into a pleasant experience. Bringing existing friends along on a project can be a fun way to bond with them.(当你做志愿者的时候，你可能会遇到一些新朋友，和一个和你志同道合的陌生人聊天，这些都可能会成为一种愉快的经历。在一个项目中带上现有的朋友可以是一种与他们建立联系的有趣方式。)”指出做志愿者对志愿者有好处，空处承接上文，对上文进行总结，E项“因此，承诺一个共同的活动会增加你的幸福感”符合，故选E。 40题详解】 上文“Volunteering fosters the development of young people all over the world by encouraging them to connect, communicate, and make plans to help their communities.

The majority of them didn’t have working experience for they had spent most of their time at school studying academic subjects. It was not until they graduated from college that they realized it was a challenge for them to land jobs. Jimmy, one of these job hunters, was a young academically excellent person. One day, after making good preparations, he went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. In spite of fierce competition, he managed to pass the first interview. What a lucky dog! Jimmy was informed to come for the next round in a few days — the last interview for the company to make the final decision. The big day finally came. He dressed neatly, the grey tie matching perfectly the decent suit. Blood rushing to his face and heart pounding heavily, he tried to calm down, and then took a few deep breaths. It was his turn. The interviewer, an elegant lady, discovered from the CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research. After several rounds of questions related to the position, she asked, “Have you ever done any part-time jobs?” “None.” After a while, the interviewer asked who paid for Jimmy’s school fees. The youth answered in a low voice, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was my mother who paid for all my school fees.” She continued, “What did your mother do?” “My mother worked as a clothes cleaner.” The lady requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The interviewer paused for a second, leaning against the chair, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” Ashamed, Jimmy replied, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.” She nodded, adding, “I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me back here tomorrow morning.” 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Back home, Jimmy requested his mother to let him clean her hands. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jimmy went to the interviewer’s office. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Back home, Jimmy requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid. It was the first time he had noticed that there were so many bruises in her hands. His tears fell as he cleaned her hands. This was also the first time he had realized that it was the bruises in the mother’s hands that were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future. After cleaning his mother’s hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a very long time. The next morning, Jimmy went to the interviewer’s office. “What have you done and learned, young man?” Jimmy answered with tears in his eyes, “I cleaned my mother’s hands and all the remaining clothes.” The lady nodded, “Please share something with me.” The youth said, “Firstly, I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, there would not be the successful me today. Additionally, by working together and helping my mother, I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Ultimately, I have learned to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.” The interviewer smiled, “This is what I am looking for to be my manager. You are hired. Congratulations!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了学业优秀的吉米去参加招聘面试，他从中学到研究生的学习成绩一直都很优秀。在面试官得知，从小失去父亲的吉米，一直由做洗衣工的母亲独自抚养，既没有做过兼职工作，也没有帮助母亲洗过衣服后，面试官让吉米回家给母亲洗手的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回到家，吉米请求他的母亲让他给她洗手。”可知，第一段可描写吉米请求给母亲洗手，第一次看清母亲双手的样子及他的感触。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，吉米来到面试官的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写吉米见到面试官后，跟面试官讲述自己做了什么和内心的感悟。 2.续写线索：母亲感到很奇怪——吉米给母亲洗手——发现母亲沧桑的双手——感动落泪——帮母亲洗衣服和母亲交流——跟面试官讲述自己做了什么——分享自己的感悟——被录取 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①谈话：talk /chat ②注意：notice/ pay attention to ③回答：answer/ reply 情绪类 ①感激：appreciation / gratitude ②奇怪的：strange / odd 【点睛】[高分句型1] His tears fell as he cleaned her hands.
