The trip took me through a beautiful desert. I was quite excited. I shared a car with four other people. At one point, I was sitting in the front seat and it was getting really hot in the car. Our driver only spoke Spanish, and I spoke wonderful Spanish, too—or at least I thought I did. “Estoy caliente!” I said, looking right at the driver. To my surprise, instead of opening the window, he only looked at me in surprise. I thought perhaps my New York accent (口音) made him confused (迷惑的). “Estoy caliente!” I said again, this time in a more local-sounding accent. He looked even more confused. Suddenly, a native Spanish speaker in the back seat spoke up in English, “Umm, I guess you want to tell the driver you’re beautiful, right?” I was so embarrassed. My face turned bright red. I explained what I meant to him in English. He laughed loudly. He talked with the driver in Spanish, and everyone else in the car laughed. Of course, the driver opened the window in the end. After the journey, I shared my story with my daughter Helen. She laughed, “Mom, I must study hard in order not to make mistakes like yours! How embarrassing!” 21. The writer meant “________” by saying “Estoy caliente!” A. I feel hot! B. I’m beautiful! C. I feel embarrassed! D. I’m angry! 22. The driver didn’t do as the writer said because ________.

My face turned bright red. I explained what I meant to him in English.”及上文可知，作者意识到自己语言错误后的脸变得通红，因此“embarrassed”是指“尴尬的”。故选A。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The trip took me through a beautiful desert. I was quite excited.”、第四段中“To my surprise, instead of opening the window, he only looked at me in surprise.”和第六段中“I was so embarrassed.”可知，刚开始旅行让作者感到兴奋，当司机不明白作者的意思时，这让作者感到很惊讶，最后当作者得知自己错误的表达时，这让作者感到很尴尬。故选C。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者一次在秘鲁旅行时的尴尬经历。故选D。 C Since humans sent the first satellite (卫星) to space in the 1950s, scientists have been studying an important topic: how to grow food in space if humans will one day live there. A recent experiment at the Tiangong space station makes a big step forward. Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) during the Shenzhou XIV mission. “The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since the rice experiment began on July 29, the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety (高杆水稻品种) have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the dwarf rice variety (矮秆水稻品种) have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on Aug 30. While there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant—it begins with a seed and ends with a mature (成熟的) plant producing new seeds. Such food-growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can create special seeds, thanks to microgravity (微重力), lack of air and cosmic rays (宇宙射线). The seeds can then produce higher yields (产量) on Earth. For more than 30 years, China has developed over 260 new types of seeds in space. According to Yao Tong, an engineer from Hainan Aerospace Engineering Breeding Research Center (海南航天工程育种研发中心), 30 percent of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”, which are as big as eggs. The center has also produced “space tomatoes” with yields increased by 30 percent, and “space bananas” with a growth cycle (生长周期) shortened from 13 months to 9 months. 26. How high did the tall shoot rice variety grow for the first month? A. 5cm. B. 25cm. C. 30cm. D. 35cm. 27. What does “this one” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The dwarf rice variety. B. The tall shoot rice variety. C. The last rice experiment in space. D. The rice experiment on Shenzhou XIV. 28. How is the present rice experiment different from other experiments? A. Its seedlings have successfully come up. B. It uses completely new rice varieties. C Its seedlings are growing very well. D. It goes through a complete life cycle. 29. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Rice has grown successfully at Tiangong space station. B. Sending seeds to space can solve all the food problems. C. People can eat space food from space seeds all over the world now. D. Space plants with a grown time are shortened to thirteen months. 30. Where is the passage most probably taken from? A. A diary. B. A novel. C. A fashion magazine. D. A news report. 【答案】26. C 27. D 28. D 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国宇航员在神舟十四号任务中成功种植水稻幼苗。在天宫空间站种植食物不仅是为了养活宇航员，还可以增加地球上的产量。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety (高杆水稻品种) have reached a height of 30 centimeters.”可知，高秆水稻品种幼苗在实验的第一个月达到30厘米高度。故选C。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上下文“While there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind”可知，“this one”指代的是“the rice experiment on Shenzhou XIV”。故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant”可知，这项实验的区别在于它经历了植物的完整生命周期。故选D。 【29题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述在天宫空间站成功种植水稻幼苗的实验，因此选项A最符合文章主题。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的结构和内容，通篇围绕太空实验报道，语言正式，应属于新闻报道。故选D。 第三节：阅读填空 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从方框中的六个句子中选出五个句子还原到短文中，使短文通顺、完整。 When I was a kid, I was a little fat.

For example, several months ago, an old man in Dalian was not allowed to travel by subway. At the station, he was asked to show his health QR code (健康码) on the smartphone. He didn’t have a smartphone. In the end, he had to leave the station. Many old people worked hard for the world when they were young, but now it seems that the world has left them behind. What can be done to make a difference? Some volunteers are trying to help. They teach the elderly to use smartphones. However, it only helps to solve part of the problems. Many old people have physical problems. They can’t see small screens clearly, and their fingers make it hard for them to touch screens. To solve the problems, perhaps smartphone makers should make screens of the smartphones better so that the old can use them easily.

I shared a car with four other people. At one point, I was sitting in the front seat and it was getting really hot in the car. Our driver only spoke Spanish, and I spoke wonderful Spanish, too—or at least I thought I did. “Estoy caliente!” I said, looking right at the driver. To my surprise, instead of opening the window, he only looked at me in surprise. I thought perhaps my New York accent (口音) made him confused (迷惑的). “Estoy caliente!” I said again, this time in a more local-sounding accent. He looked even more confused. Suddenly, a native Spanish speaker in the back seat spoke up in English, “Umm, I guess you want to tell the driver you’re beautiful, right?” I was so embarrassed. My face turned bright red. I explained what I meant to him in English. He laughed loudly. He talked with the driver in Spanish, and everyone else in the car laughed. Of course, the driver opened the window in the end. After the journey, I shared my story with my daughter Helen. She laughed, “Mom, I must study hard in order not to make mistakes like yours! How embarrassing!” 21. The writer meant “________” by saying “Estoy caliente!” A. I feel hot! B. I’m beautiful! C. I feel embarrassed! D. I’m angry! 22. The driver didn’t do as the writer said because ________. A. he was stopped by the person in the back seat B. he didn’t understand the writer’s words C. he had something more important to do D. he didn’t agree with her 23.

A. how to learn Spanish B. when to travel to Peru C. the difference between English and Spanish D. an embarrassing travel experience C Since humans sent the first satellite (卫星) to space in the 1950s, scientists have been studying an important topic: how to grow food in space if humans will one day live there. A recent experiment at the Tiangong space station makes a big step forward. Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) during the Shenzhou XIV mission. “The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since the rice experiment began on July 29, the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety (高杆水稻品种) have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the dwarf rice variety (矮秆水稻品种) have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on Aug 30. While there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant—it begins with a seed and ends with a mature (成熟的) plant producing new seeds. Such food-growing experiments are not just for astronauts. They can also solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can create special seeds, thanks to microgravity (微重力), lack of air and cosmic rays (宇宙射线). The seeds can then produce higher yields (产量) on Earth. For more than 30 years, China has developed over 260 new types of seeds in space. According to Yao Tong, an engineer from Hainan Aerospace Engineering Breeding Research Center (海南航天工程育种研发中心), 30 percent of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”, which are as big as eggs. The center has also produced “space tomatoes” with yields increased by 30 percent, and “space bananas” with a growth cycle (生长周期) shortened from 13 months to 9 months. 26. How high did the tall shoot rice variety grow for the first month? A. 5cm. B. 25cm. C. 30cm. D. 35cm. 27. What does “this one” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The dwarf rice variety. B. The tall shoot rice variety. C. The last rice experiment in space. D. The rice experiment on Shenzhou XIV. 28. How is the present rice experiment different from other experiments? A. Its seedlings have successfully come up. B. It uses completely new rice varieties. C. Its seedlings are growing very well. D. It goes through a complete life cycle. 29. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Rice has grown successfully at Tiangong space station. B. Sending seeds to space can solve all the food problems. C. People can eat space food from space seeds all over the world now. D. Space plants with a grown time are shortened to thirteen months. 30. Where is the passage most probably taken from? A. A diary. B. A novel. C. A fashion magazine. D. A news report. 第三节：阅读填空 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从方框中的六个句子中选出五个句子还原到短文中，使短文通顺、完整。 When I was a kid, I was a little fat. And I was always tired because of that.

Now it can be done with a smartphone. Although the fast development of science and technology is making our life easier, it is creating problems for old people. For example, several months ago, an old man in Dalian was not allowed to travel by subway. At the station, he was asked to show his health QR code (健康码) on the smartphone. He didn’t have a smartphone. In the end, he had to leave the station. Many old people worked hard for the world when they were young, but now it seems that the world has left them behind. What can be done to make a difference? Some volunteers are trying to help. They teach the elderly to use smartphones. However, it only helps to solve part of the problems.
