The child hero Super Chico is back in action against the enemy. The boy, who has several serious diseases, caught COVID-19 for the second time and once again defeated the disease. It started in November 2021 with the signs we all know; coughing and difficulty breathing. The 5-year-old had to be hospitalized. “This time it was worse, because the other time (in July 2020, when Chico first caught the virus) he had progressive improvement. Every day there was good news. This time it wasn’t like that,” Chico’s mother said. But Chico is a fighter. He began to improve after 15 days on special treatment. The nurse who stayed with him in the ICU told touching details of that moment. “When he was waking up, his mother said, ‘Come back, Chico, get your backpack and let’s go.’ He laughed, and tried to wake up. It’s a moment you can’t forget.” The little boy left the hospital wearing superhero clothes, receiving much applause (掌声) from the healthcare team. On Instagram, his mother gave the good news of his leaving the hospital and thanked everyone for their prayers for the little Brazilian who has attracted everyone with his example of strength and hope. Super Chico was born prematurely (早产), and spent six months in the ICU for newborns. It was there that he earned his heroic nickname (外号).

In 2020, he caught the coronavirus for the first time, spending four months in the children’s sickroom and 13 days in the ICU of a hospital in Bauru, in the state of Sto Paulo, where he lives. His example of strength has inspired many parents. For this reason, the little fighter became a phenomenon on the Internet.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了少年英雄Chico以惊人的力量战胜了另一个挑战。这个患有多种严重疾病的小男孩第二次感染了新冠病毒，并再次战胜了它。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““When he was waking up, his mother said, ‘Come back, Chico, get your backpack and let’s go.’ He laughed, and tried to wake up. It’s a moment you can’t forget.””(“当他正在醒来的时候，他的妈妈说：‘回来吧，Chico，背起你的背包，让我们走吧。’他笑了起来，努力地醒来。这是一个你不能忘记的时刻。”)可知，根据护士说的这些话，Chico的母亲看到儿子正要醒来，就大声呼唤儿子和她一起走，可以推断出她对她儿子的身体状况是充满信心的。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“The little boy left the hospital wearing superhero clothes, receiving much applause (掌声) from the healthcare team.(这个小男孩穿着超级英雄的衣服离开了医院，得到了医疗团队的热烈掌声。)”可知，当小男孩离开医院时，得到了医疗团队的热烈掌声。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段的“Super Chico was born prematurely (早产), and spent six months in the ICU for newborns.

Officials in Utah say the state needs to take serious measures to prevent further drops in lake levels. The current state of the Great Salt Lake follows serious dry conditions affecting Utah and other western states. Water has also been taken from the lake to supply homes and crops in Utah, one of the nation’s fastest growing states. Utah is also one of the driest American states, but has high water usage rates. The serious drop in lake levels has raised concerns in the state about harmful dust, environmental damage and economic problems. Further water loss is expected to present serious risks to millions of migrating (迁徙) birds. It could also hurt a lake-based economy expected to be worth$1.3 billion. Economic activities include the production of minerals and brine shrimp (虾) and tourism. Health experts also fear that a dry lakebed could send poisonous dust into the air that millions of people breathe. One proposal would seek to limit water use in homes and businesses. Another would pay farmers for sharing their water. A third would direct money from mineral production activities to programs aimed at improving the lake. Zach Frankel is director of the nonprofit Utah Rivers Council. He says he thinks major action is needed in order to save the Great Salt Lake. “It’s not going to do it with baby steps. These are tiny baby steps that should have been taken 20 years ago,” Frankel said. If the water levels continue to drop, the lake could get too salty for the microorganisms to survive. This has already happened in the bright pink waters of the lake’s northern arm. Vanden Berg is still hopeful about the southern arm, where a part of the microorganisms did survive last year’s lake drop.” It’s bad but not hopeless yet,” he said, “There is still time to fix and improve the situation.” 8. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The harm the lake water loss could do to wildlife. B. The reason for the lake water loss. C. The bad effects the lake water loss could bring. D. The measures to prevent water loss. 9. What does Zach Frankel mean by his words about lake protection? A. It is too late to protect the lake. B. Small actions are not enough. C. Action should be taken bit by bit. D. The government hasn’t realized its importance. 10. Which of the following can best describe Vanden Beg’s opinion? A. Better late than never. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. No pain, no gain. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Drought Has Reduced Lake Water in the U.S. B. Climate Change Affects People Living Round Lakes C. Protecting the Great Salt Lake Is Necessary for Neighborhood D. Officials Consider Measures to Save the Great Salt Lake 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述美国密西西比河以西最大的天然湖泊大盐湖已经达到了有记录以来的最低水位。以及该州需要采取严肃措施，防止湖泊水位进一步下降。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。由第三段“The serious drop in lake levels has raised concerns in the state about harmful dust, environmental damage and economic problems. Further water loss is expected to present serious risks to millions of migrating (迁徙) birds. It could also hurt a lake-based economy expected to be worth$1.3 billion. Economic activities include the production of minerals and brine shrimp (虾) and tourism.(湖泊水位的严重下降引起了该州对有害粉尘、环境破坏和经济问题的担忧。预计进一步的失水将给数百万候鸟带来严重风险。这也可能损害预计价值13亿美元的湖区经济。经济活动包括矿产和盐水虾的生产以及旅游业。)”可知，本段主要讲述湖水水位的严重下降引起了该州对有害粉尘、环境破坏和经济问题的关注以及其它问题。即湖水减少带来的不良影响。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“He says he thinks major action is needed in order to save the Great Salt Lake. “It’s not going to do it with baby steps. These are tiny baby steps that should have been taken 20 years ago,” Frankel said.(他说，他认为需要采取重大行动来拯救大盐湖。弗兰克尔说：“这不是婴儿步。这些是20年前应该采取的婴儿步。”。)”可知，Zach Frankel认为需要采取重大行动来拯救大盐湖。这不是一小步一小步就能做到的。即小的行动不足以拯救大盐湖。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“‘It’s bad but not hopeless yet,’ he said. ‘There is still time to fix and improve the situation.’(“情况很糟糕，但还没有绝望，”他说还有时间来解决和改善这种情况。”)”可知，情况很糟糕，但还不是没有希望，即亡羊补牢为时未晚（迟做总比不做好）。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“The Great Salt Lake, America’s largest natural lake west of the Mississippi River, has reached its lowest levels in recorded history. Officials in Utah say the state needs to take serious measures to prevent further drops in lake levels.(大盐湖是美国密西西比河以西最大的天然湖泊，已达到有记录以来的最低水平。犹他州官员表示，该州需要采取认真措施，防止湖面水位进一步下降。)”以及下文可知，本文主要讲大盐湖已达到有记录以来的最低水平。犹他州的官员说该州需要采取严厉措施，防止湖泊水位进一步下降。故选D项。 D A restaurant in northeast Thailand has become a center for traders of cryptocurrency.

The older children were at school, and the baby was sleeping. There was no reason why Mother could not go to bed. But first she had a few things to do: prepare the bean and beef for dinner, leave a note for the cleaners, do the washing and carry out the rubbish. At last, she sank (瘫倒) into... bed. Ah-h-h-h-! Her aching legs enjoyed comfort from the cool sheets. Her burning eyes closed. She was asleep! Then, suddenly, the children threw open the front door as they burst home from school. “Mum! Mum! Where ARE you?” Mother tried to answer but their cries rose over her weak calls. Soon they found her—in bed. “Didn’t you even get up yet?” cried the younger girl. “How am I going to get to Bills?” asked the boy. “What about dinner? We’ve got to eat,” said the older girl. Mother understood. She knew that the children weren’t used to a mother in bed. “I’m sick,” she said. “I can’t do anything. I’ll just have to leave it all to you. Cook the potatoes… take care of the baby... set the table.” The children stormed out like soldiers going into battle. For a time Mother was left to the quiet of her room and the ache in her head. Then Father arrived home. He stepped into the bedroom and reached for her hand. He looked tired. Mother started worrying about him. “It’s nothing, darling,” she said. “I can get up and do dinner and…” Father shook his head, “The kids and I will take over. We’ll get along fine without you.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 (请在答题卡作答上，此处作答无效) Mother lay still in the quiet room, listening for family sounds. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, the children appeared with sweet smiles, proud of what they brought. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mother lay still in the quiet room, listening for family sounds.

The younger girl rushed in with news. “They dropped your plate and the dog ate all your dinner.” The girl ran off. There was more noise. Suddenly, the children appeared with sweet smiles, proud of what they brought. There is a glass of water, three beans, a cold boiled potato and a small piece of burned meat. Immediately, Mother felt great. As the children watched carefully, she ate her cold dinner. “Everything tastes so good,” Mom smiled, showing her appreciation. “Thank you for acting positively, my kids. I feel better now.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了母亲生病无法起床做家务，但是担心孩子们不能照顾自己，意外发现孩子们在噼里啪啦的响声中给全家准备了一顿美餐的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“母亲静静地躺在安静的房间里，听着家人的声音。”可知，第一段可描写母亲担忧孩子们噼里啪啦做家务的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，孩子们带着甜蜜的微笑出现了，他们为自己带来的东西感到自豪。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈为孩子准备的晚餐感动。 2.续写线索：生病——难受——担忧——晚餐——吃饭——感动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊： shout/yell/bawl ②冲入： rush in/ burst in/pour in/break in ③吃东西：eat sth./have one’s meals 情绪类 ①微笑：smile/beam ②感谢：show her appreciation/show her gratitude/be grateful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

The child hero Super Chico is back in action against the enemy. The boy, who has several serious diseases, caught COVID-19 for the second time and once again defeated the disease. It started in November 2021 with the signs we all know; coughing and difficulty breathing. The 5-year-old had to be hospitalized. “This time it was worse, because the other time (in July 2020, when Chico first caught the virus) he had progressive improvement. Every day there was good news. This time it wasn’t like that,” Chico’s mother said. But Chico is a fighter. He began to improve after 15 days on special treatment. The nurse who stayed with him in the ICU told touching details of that moment. “When he was waking up, his mother said, ‘Come back, Chico, get your backpack and let’s go.’ He laughed, and tried to wake up. It’s a moment you can’t forget.” The little boy left the hospital wearing superhero clothes, receiving much applause (掌声) from the healthcare team. On Instagram, his mother gave the good news of his leaving the hospital and thanked everyone for their prayers for the little Brazilian who has attracted everyone with his example of strength and hope. Super Chico was born prematurely (早产), and spent six months in the ICU for newborns. It was there that he earned his heroic nickname (外号). After that, he faced seven operations to treat several problems. He was hospitalized more than 10 times and underwent several blood transfusions. In 2020, he caught the coronavirus for the first time, spending four months in the children’s sickroom and 13 days in the ICU of a hospital in Bauru, in the state of Sto Paulo, where he lives. His example of strength has inspired many parents. For this reason, the little fighter became a phenomenon on the Internet. Today, the website managed by his mother has more than 240,000 followers on Instagram. 4. How did the mother feel about her son’s medical condition according to the nurse’s words? A. Hopeless. B.

C The Great Salt Lake, America’s largest natural lake west of the Mississippi River, has reached its lowest levels in recorded history. Officials in Utah say the state needs to take serious measures to prevent further drops in lake levels. The current state of the Great Salt Lake follows serious dry conditions affecting Utah and other western states. Water has also been taken from the lake to supply homes and crops in Utah, one of the nation’s fastest growing states. Utah is also one of the driest American states, but has high water usage rates. The serious drop in lake levels has raised concerns in the state about harmful dust, environmental damage and economic problems. Further water loss is expected to present serious risks to millions of migrating (迁徙) birds. It could also hurt a lake-based economy expected to be worth$1.3 billion. Economic activities include the production of minerals and brine shrimp (虾) and tourism. Health experts also fear that a dry lakebed could send poisonous dust into the air that millions of people breathe. One proposal would seek to limit water use in homes and businesses. Another would pay farmers for sharing their water. A third would direct money from mineral production activities to programs aimed at improving the lake. Zach Frankel is director of the nonprofit Utah Rivers Council. He says he thinks major action is needed in order to save the Great Salt Lake. “It’s not going to do it with baby steps. These are tiny baby steps that should have been taken 20 years ago,” Frankel said. If the water levels continue to drop, the lake could get too salty for the microorganisms to survive. This has already happened in the bright pink waters of the lake’s northern arm. Vanden Berg is still hopeful about the southern arm, where a part of the microorganisms did survive last year’s lake drop.” It’s bad but not hopeless yet,” he said, “There is still time to fix and improve the situation.” 8. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The harm the lake water loss could do to wildlife. B. The reason for the lake water loss. C. The bad effects the lake water loss could bring. D. The measures to prevent water loss. 9. What does Zach Frankel mean by his words about lake protection? A. It is too late to protect the lake. B Small actions are not enough. C. Action should be taken bit by bit. D. The government hasn’t realized its importance. 10. Which of the following can best describe Vanden Beg’s opinion? A. Better late than never. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. No pain, no gain. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Drought Has Reduced Lake Water in the U.S. B. Climate Change Affects People Living Round Lakes C. Protecting the Great Salt Lake Is Necessary for Neighborhood D. Officials Consider Measures to Save the Great Salt Lake D A restaurant in northeast Thailand has become a center for traders of cryptocurrency. A cryptocurrency is a form of digital or virtual money that is not regulated by any central bank as it is based on a network and is independent of them. HIP Coffee & Restaurant is a café that serves coffee and food. But it has set up screens showing the latest price information on cyptocurrency markets for its customers. The café also offers investment (投资) advice to go along with its coffee and cake. Detnarong Satianphut is a 35-year-old cryptocurrency trader and a customer at the café. He said, “It’s exciting for me to be here because I get to meet people who share the same interests. We (traders) get to exchange information because in the trading world we are coming up against millions of people.” Cryptocurrencies have started becoming more popular in Thailand. The latest official data suggests that as much as $7.62 billion in digital currency (货币) was traded in November. In January, Thailand said it would start to watch over the use of digital currencies as payments. Officials warned of threats to the country’s economic system. HIP café has been in business since 2013. The café began setting up its cryptocurrency information screens in 2020. Since then, workers said the number of customers has doubled. HIP café’s boss is Okkhara Yongsakuljinda. He said the café provides a chance for people in the surrounding Nakhon Ratchssima province to invest. The café offers free investment advice and is planning on starting its own cryptocurrency coin. Customers say trading in the café gives them the best chance of success in an uncertain market.

And as new technologies are becoming much more accessible, they bring with them new ways to learn important creative skills. ___16___ Here are just some of the reasons why drawing is important for children's development. Drawing makes children more expressive. Children can't always express themselves using words and actions. And drawing is another important form of communication. You can understand your child's thoughts and feelings better through their drawings. ___17___ Drawing develops your kid's problem solving skills. When drawing, a child is faced with several decisions — whether it's “What colour should I use here?” or “How do I draw an animal and connect one part of its body to another?” ___18___ Try asking them why they used certain colours or why they drew certain parts the way they did. Then see what solutions they came to. ___19___ Each time they draw they access their imagination and make physical representations (再呈现) of what's in their mind. People's imaginations have allowed them to create all of the things that we use and are surrounded by every day. Drawing gets your kids ready for school. ___20___Whether your child is still at home with you or at school already, drawing helps them prepare for understanding more difficult ideas. Learning these creative ways of thinking at an early age readies a child for future education. A. Drawing makes your kids active physically. B. Drawing lets your kids' imagination run wild. C. Drawing is one of the early basics of thinking. D. Being happy can increase problem solving skills. E. All these questions require them to solve problems. F. We see drawing as one of the most basic of these skills. G. Being able to express what they feel also develops a child's EQ. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后务题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One afternoon in 1960, 12-year-old Bill Wilson stood on a Florida street corner where his mother had left him. ___21___, alone and hungry, he stood there for three days waiting for her to return.
