They say it is the world’s most detailed map of the moon’s surface to date. The mapping project took more than a hundred researchers 10 years to complete. The mapping work used data (数据) from the Chang’e missions as the main source. It also used high-quality data from international exploration programs. China started the Change’e program in 2004. Since then, the country has sent various landers and rovers (探测器) to the moon in order to collect data. The new map was drawn on a scale (比例尺) of 1:2,500,000. On this map, we can see 12,341 impact craters, 81 impact basins, 17 different rock types and 14 unique types of structures. The map also shows the locations of the landing sites (着陆地点) of the Chang’e missions. The most detailed map provides a lot of information about the geology of the moon and its evolution (进化). It is expected to make a great contribution to scientific research. It can also help choose the landing sites on the moon for future exploration missions. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has made a number of regional maps of the moon with data from the Apollo missions. However, those maps were completed at different times with different levels of quality. So they were not able to be directly used together. (The Apollo program succeeded in preparing and landing the first humans on the moon between the years of 1961 and 1972.) The USGS did put its regional maps together to complete a 1:5 million-scale map in 2020, said researchers. That map, however, is less detailed in comparison to China’s 1:2.5 million-scale map. 44. The main source of the data for the new map is from________. A. the Apollo missions B. future exploration programs C. the Chang’e missions D. international exploration programs 45. How long has the Chinese researchers collected data of the moon’s surface? A. Since 1968. B. Since 2004. C. Since 2020. D. Since 1972. 46. Why is the map from the USGS less detailed? A. Because it was drawn on a scale of 1:2.5 million. B. Because it only collected data from the Apollo program in 1972. C. Because it is made up with regional maps with different levels of quality. D. Because it is expected to provide more information for scientific research. C Nowadays, most people seldom write by hand. However, some studies showed that writing by hand had many advantages. A survey showed writing by hand was better for learning and memory than using a keyboard. “When you write your shopping list or English notes by hand, you can remember these better and more quickly,” said Audrey, a researcher of the survey. The result showed that brains of young adults were much more active when they wrote by hand than when they used a keyboard. According to Audrey, lots of senses were activated (激活) when writing something by hand. These senses built the relation of different parts of the brain, which was helpful for learning. Audrey did a second survey with her teammates and they invited 12 young adults and 12 children to take part in it. The survey was different from what Audrey had done before because this was the first time that children had taken part in such a survey. The result also showed the importance to children in learning to draw or write by hand at early ages. “Learning to write by hand is a slow process, but it’s important for children,” Audrey said. “When children write something by hand, the hand movements can form the shapes of words and put these children in a condition of learning. It also helps them form good learning habits.” Therefore, people had better write things by hand as often as possible. 47. How many people were invited to take part in Audrey’s second survey? A. 24 young adults. B. 12 young adults and 12 children. C. 24 children. D. 12 old adults and 12 children. 48. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To tell us how to improve our writing. B. To explain why people seldom write by hand. C. To encourage people to write by hand. D. To introduce how students practice writing by hand. 49. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Let’s write by hand B. A survey about the brain C. How to improve memory D. Get to know more about students D Hou Yifan born on February 27, 1994 in Jiangsu, China, is a world-famous Chinese chess player. She was the Women’s World Chess champion (冠军), the youngest ever to win the title (头衔). Hou started playing chess when she was 5 years old in 1999. At that time, her parents took Hou to try different brain games at a training center. “It was so interesting that I was attracted (吸引) by the chess and decided to take up the hobby,” said Hou. “Chess is a brain game full of uncertainties(不确定性). Even when there are only five or six pieces left on the board, you cannot predict all the results,” said Hou. “So instead of focusing too much on theories, we should depend on practice and skills more.” Learning methods from the past matches and practicing chess became her daily activities. It needed a lot of hard work, but it was worth it. She became the youngest chess champion in the world at the age of 16. Although she became a famous chess star known all over the world, Hou wasn’t proud of it. “I’m happy to win these titles, but I know this is a coin with two sides,” Hou added. “As I gain public attention, my faults will become larger. So I should keep improving.” Having focused on international chess for a long time Hou then decided to study in college. In 2012, she studied International Relations at Peking University and then she went to the University of Oxford in 2018. In 2020, she became a teacher at Shenzhen University. She wanted to connect the methods she learned in China and the West and teach more young Chinese people. 50. Why did Hou Yifan decide to learn chess? A. Because her parents were good at playing chess. B. Because she thought it was interesting. C. Because she had a good chess teacher. D. Because she had no other choice. 51. What do we know about Hou Yifan? A. She is a hard-working chess learner. B. She is teaching at Peking University. C. She likes to bring herself to public attention. D. She’s the oldest chess champion in the world. 52. What is the best title of the text? A. Hou Yifan’s hobbies B. Hou Yifan’s exciting trip C. Hou Yifan’s favorite sport D. Hou Yifan’s life experience E Words! Words! Words! So many words! We use them to express feelings and ideas. But where do those words come from? And how do they end up in a dictionary? The answer is through wide reading of published materials by dictionary researchers. The editors (编辑) of Merriam-Webster Dictionary spend an hour or two reading every day. What do they read? They read online articles, books, magazines and newspapers. They pay special attention to new words, new usages and differences in spellings. They also find out which words are being used the most. And they pay attention to the way they are being used. The Oxford English Dictionary’s (OED’s) Reading Program uses paid and volunteer readers to help. If these people have new findings in their reading, they provide examples and explain their usages. The history of a word’s usage and current (当前的) usage are also pointed out. Millions of historical and current words are kept in the databases (数据库) of these and other dictionaries. Many recently added words may come from electronic files (文件), pop culture and politics. The OED has added many new English words from Republic of Korea recently. Korea, first spelled Corea, has been used as the country’s name since the 17th century. In 1999, “K-pop” appeared in Billboard Magazine and was added to the OED in 2016. From Merriam-Webster we have 455 recently added words including “dad bod”—a typical middle-aged dad’s body shape. “Digital nomad” was also added, meaning someone who does his job over the Internet from anywhere. There are so many words in the world. With the great effort of the dictionary researchers, there will be more on the way! 53. What can we know about OED’s Reading Program? A. It provides the changes of Chinese. B. It creates the history of words. C. It uses paid and volunteer readers to help. D. It encourages readers to do more reading. 54. Who can be called a “digital nomad”? A. A well-paid person. B. A digital expert. C. A person who finds words for dictionaries. D. A person working online from anywhere. 55. What is the purpose of writing the text? A. To show how words get into dictionaries. B To explain where editors find new words. C. To show what new words mean to dictionaries. D. To explain why new words are needed in dictionaries. 第二节 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并将答案写在答题卡相应位置。(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) It seems that self-help books are on the best-seller lists these days.

They say it is the world’s most detailed map of the moon’s surface to date. The mapping project took more than a hundred researchers 10 years to complete. The mapping work used data (数据) from the Chang’e missions as the main source. It also used high-quality data from international exploration programs. China started the Change’e program in 2004. Since then, the country has sent various landers and rovers (探测器) to the moon in order to collect data. The new map was drawn on a scale (比例尺) of 1:2,500,000. On this map, we can see 12,341 impact craters, 81 impact basins, 17 different rock types and 14 unique types of structures. The map also shows the locations of the landing sites (着陆地点) of the Chang’e missions. The most detailed map provides a lot of information about the geology of the moon and its evolution (进化). It is expected to make a great contribution to scientific research. It can also help choose the landing sites on the moon for future exploration missions. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has made a number of regional maps of the moon with data from the Apollo missions. However, those maps were completed at different times with different levels of quality. So they were not able to be directly used together. (The Apollo program succeeded in preparing and landing the first humans on the moon between the years of 1961 and 1972.) The USGS did put its regional maps together to complete a 1:5 million-scale map in 2020, said researchers. That map, however, is less detailed in comparison to China’s 1:2.5 million-scale map. 44. The main source of the data for the new map is from________. A. the Apollo missions B. future exploration programs C. the Chang’e missions D. international exploration programs 45. How long has the Chinese researchers collected data of the moon’s surface? A. Since 1968. B. Since 2004. C. Since 2020. D. Since 1972. 46. Why is the map from the USGS less detailed? A. Because it was drawn on a scale of 1:2.5 million. B. Because it only collected data from the Apollo program in 1972. C. Because it is made up with regional maps with different levels of quality. D. Because it is expected to provide more information for scientific research. 【答案】44. C 45. B 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁是新闻报道。文章主要报道了中国科学家发布了一份新的、迄今为止最详细的月球地质图，并介绍了该地图的绘制过程、数据来源、比例尺以及其在科学研究和未来探索中的应用。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The mapping work used data (数据) from the Chang’e missions as the main source. (测绘工作使用了嫦娥任务的数据作为主要来源。)”可知，新地图的数据主要来源于嫦娥任务。故选C。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“China started the Change’e program in 2004. Since then, the country has sent various landers and rovers ( 探测器 ) to the moon in order to collect data. (中国于2004年启动了“嫦娥计划”。此后，为了收集数据，向月球发射了各种着陆器和探测器)”可知，中国从2004年开始收集月球表面数据。故选B。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has made a number of regional maps of the moon with data from the Apollo missions. However, those maps were completed at different times with different levels of quality. So they were not able to be directly used together. (美国地质调查局（USGS）利用阿波罗任务的数据绘制了许多月球区域地图。然而，这些地图是在不同的时间以不同的质量水平完成的。所以它们不能直接一起使用。)”和最后一段中的“That map, however, is less detailed in comparison to China’s 1:2.5 million-scale map. (然而，与中国的1:25万比例尺地图相比，这张地图的细节要少得多。)”可知，美国地质调查局的地图是由不同时间、不同质量的区域地图组成的，因此不够详细。故选C。 C Nowadays, most people seldom write by hand. However, some studies showed that writing by hand had many advantages. A survey showed writing by hand was better for learning and memory than using a keyboard. “When you write your shopping list or English notes by hand, you can remember these better and more quickly,” said Audrey, a researcher of the survey. The result showed that brains of young adults were much more active when they wrote by hand than when they used a keyboard. According to Audrey, lots of senses were activated (激活) when writing something by hand. These senses built the relation of different parts of the brain, which was helpful for learning. Audrey did a second survey with her teammates and they invited 12 young adults and 12 children to take part in it. The survey was different from what Audrey had done before because this was the first time that children had taken part in such a survey. The result also showed the importance to children in learning to draw or write by hand at early ages. “Learning to write by hand is a slow process, but it’s important for children,” Audrey said. “When children write something by hand, the hand movements can form the shapes of words and put these children in a condition of learning. It also helps them form good learning habits.” Therefore, people had better write things by hand as often as possible. 47. How many people were invited to take part in Audrey’s second survey? A. 24 young adults. B. 12 young adults and 12 children. C. 24 children. D. 12 old adults and 12 children. 48. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To tell us how to improve our writing. B. To explain why people seldom write by hand. C. To encourage people to write by hand. D. To introduce how students practice writing by hand. 49. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Let’s write by hand B. A survey about the brain C. How to improve memory D. Get to know more about students 【答案】47. B 48. C 49. A 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁属于说明文。文章介绍了手写优于键盘输入，有助学习记忆，激活大脑，尤其对儿童早期学习有益，应多用手写。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Audrey did a second survey with her teammates and they invited 12 young adults and 12children to take part in it. (Audrey和她的队友做了第二次调查，他们邀请了12个年轻人和12个孩子参加。)”可知，Audrey的第二次调查邀请了12名年轻人和12名儿童参加。故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Therefore, people had better write things by hand as often as possible. (因此，人们最好尽可能经常用手写东西。)”可知，文章的主要目的是鼓励人们尽可能多地用手写东西。故选C。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“However, some studies showed that writing by hand had many advantages.(然而，一些研究表明手写有很多优点。)”和最后一段中的“Therefore, people had better write things by hand as often as possible. (因此，人们最好尽可能经常用手写东西。)”可知，文章主要讲述了手写的好处，鼓励人们尽可能多地用手写东西，最好的标题是“Let’s write by hand (让我们手写吧)”。故选A。 D Hou Yifan, born on February 27, 1994 in Jiangsu, China, is a world-famous Chinese chess player. She was the Women’s World Chess champion (冠军), the youngest ever to win the title (头衔). Hou started playing chess when she was 5 years old in 1999. At that time, her parents took Hou to try different brain games at a training center. “It was so interesting that I was attracted (吸引) by the chess and decided to take up the hobby,” said Hou. “Chess is a brain game full of uncertainties(不确定性). Even when there are only five or six pieces left on the board, you cannot predict all the results,” said Hou. “So instead of focusing too much on theories, we should depend on practice and skills more.” Learning methods from the past matches and practicing chess became her daily activities. It needed a lot of hard work, but it was worth it. She became the youngest chess champion in the world at the age of 16. Although she became a famous chess star known all over the world, Hou wasn’t proud of it. “I’m happy to win these titles, but I know this is a coin with two sides,” Hou added. “As I gain public attention, my faults will become larger. So I should keep improving.” Having focused on international chess for a long time, Hou then decided to study in college. In 2012, she studied International Relations at Peking University and then she went to the University of Oxford in 2018. In 2020, she became a teacher at Shenzhen University. She wanted to connect the methods she learned in China and the West and teach more young Chinese people. 50. Why did Hou Yifan decide to learn chess? A. Because her parents were good at playing chess. B. Because she thought it was interesting. C. Because she had a good chess teacher. D. Because she had no other choice. 51. What do we know about Hou Yifan? A. She is a hard-working chess learner. B. She is teaching at Peking University. C. She likes to bring herself to public attention. D She’s the oldest chess champion in the world. 52. What is the best title of the text? A. Hou Yifan’s hobbies B. Hou Yifan’s exciting trip C. Hou Yifan’s favorite sport D. Hou Yifan’s life experience 【答案】50. B 51. A 52. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了国际象棋大师侯逸凡。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““It was so interesting that I was attracted (吸引) by the chess and decided to take up the hobby,”(“这太有趣了，我被国际象棋吸引了，并决定把这个爱好培养起来。”)”可知侯逸凡决定学习象棋是因为她认为象棋很有趣。故选B项。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“She was the Women’s World Chess champion (冠军), the youngest ever to win the title (头衔).(她是女子国际象棋世界冠军，是有史以来最年轻的冠军。)”以及第三段“She became the youngest chess champion in the world at the age of 16.(她在16岁时成为世界上最年轻的国际象棋冠军。)”可知她是有史以来最年轻的世界冠军，所以D项不对，根据文章最后一段“In 2020, she became a teacher at Shenzhen University.(2020年，她成为深圳大学的一名教师。)”以及“Although she became a famous chess star known all over the world, Hou wasn’t proud of it.(虽然她成了举世闻名的国际象棋明星，但她并不为此感到骄傲。)”可知她是深圳大学而不是北京大学的一名教师，而且她也并不喜欢引起公众的注意，所以B和C项都不对，根据第二最后“Learning methods from the past matches and practicing chess became her daily activities.(从过去的比赛中学习方法和练习象棋成为了她的日常活动。)”以及第三段“It needed a lot of hard work, but it was worth it.(这需要很多艰苦的工作，但这是值得的。)”可知,她是一个勤奋的国际象棋学习者。故选A项。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Hou Yifan, born on February 27, 1994 in Jiangsu, China, is a world-famous Chinese chess player. She was the Women’s World Chess champion (冠军), the youngest ever to win the title (头衔).(侯逸凡，1994年2月27日出生于中国江苏，是世界著名的中国棋手。她是女子国际象棋世界冠军，是有史以来最年轻的冠军。)”以及第二、三段主要讲述侯逸凡学习国际象棋的始末以及她取得的成就，文章最后一段“Having focused on international chess for a long time, Hou then decided to study in college. In 2012, she studied International Relations at Peking University and then she went to the University of Oxford in 2018. In 2020, she became a teacher at Shenzhen University. She wanted to connect the methods she learned in China and the West and teach more young Chinese people.(在长期专注于国际象棋之后，侯决定进入大学学习。2012年就读于北京大学国际关系专业，2018年赴牛津大学学习。2020年，她成为深圳大学的一名教师。她想把自己在中国和西方学到的方法结合起来，教给更多的中国年轻人。)”主要讲的是侯逸凡的求学经历、工作经历以及对于未来的计划，纵观全文，文章主要围绕着国际象棋大师侯逸凡的人生经历展开，故D项Hou Yifan’s life experience(侯逸凡的人生经历)作为文章标题最为合适。故选D项。 E Words! Words! Words! So many words! We use them to express feelings and ideas. But where do those words come from? And how do they end up in a dictionary? The answer is through wide reading of published materials by dictionary researchers. The editors (编辑) of Merriam-Webster Dictionary spend an hour or two reading every day. What do they read? They read online articles, books, magazines and newspapers. They pay special attention to new words, new usages and differences in spellings. They also find out which words are being used the most. And they pay attention to the way they are being used. The Oxford English Dictionary’s (OED’s) Reading Program uses paid and volunteer readers to help. If these people have new findings in their reading, they provide examples and explain their usages. The history of a word’s usage and current (当前的) usage are also pointed out. Millions of historical and current words are kept in the databases (数据库) of these and other dictionaries. Many recently added words may come from electronic files (文件), pop culture and politics. The OED has added many new English words from Republic of Korea recently. Korea, first spelled Corea, has been used as the country’s name since the 17th century. In 1999, “K-pop” appeared in Billboard Magazine and was added to the OED in 2016. From Merriam-Webster we have 455 recently added words including “dad bod”—a typical middle-aged dad’s body shape. “Digital nomad” was also added, meaning someone who does his job over the Internet from anywhere. There are so many words in the world. With the great effort of the dictionary researchers, there will be more on the way! 53. What can we know about OED’s Reading Program? A. It provides the changes of Chinese. B. It creates the history of words. C. It uses paid and volunteer readers to help. D. It encourages readers to do more reading. 54. Who can be called a “digital nomad”? A. A well-paid person. B. A digital expert. C. A person who finds words for dictionaries. D. A person working online from anywhere. 55. What is the purpose of writing the text? A. To show how words get into dictionaries. B. To explain where editors find new words. C. To show what new words mean to dictionaries. D. To explain why new words are needed in dictionaries. 【答案】53. C 54. D 55.

They found that people in the first group were more stressed out and upset.(研究人员调查了两组人，其中一组读过很多自助类书籍，而另一组则没有。他们发现第一组的人压力更大，更心烦意乱。)”提到了和她不同的观点，所以此处上下文之间是转折关系，选项G中not agree是关键词，与上文构成转折关系，所以G选项“然而，加拿大蒙特利尔大学最近的一项研究可能不同意这种说法。”符合语境。故选G项。 【60题详解】 上文“There is no single quick fix that can improve our lives.(没有单一的快速解决办法可以改善我们的生活。)”提到了没有快速解决办法，选项D“然而，当我们需要帮助的时候，知道帮助就在身边总是好的。”与上文构成转折关系，符合语境。故选D项。 第四部分 补全对话(10分) 请阅读下面对话，根据对话内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个填入空白处，使对话通顺、合理，意思完整，并将答案写在答题卡相应位置。一空一句。(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 补全对话 (Bob and Kate meet at the bus station.
