When I was ten years old, I went to the US to visit some family friends. We travelled all the way from California to Las Vegas. I noticed something funny about the way everyone spoke English. I was thinking, “This is the way they speak in films!”
At the beginning of the holiday, one of my friends asked me if I wanted to order “French fries.” I couldn’t imagine what French fries were. What was fried and French?! Snails? Cheese? She was amazed that I had never tried them and she ordered a portion for us to share. When the waiter brought us some chips, I asked her where the French fries were. She pointed to the plate of chips! Later that week she said she was going to buy some “chips” from the supermarket. She came out with a packet of crisps!
During that holiday we were also offered “biscuits and gravy” with our lunch. This was a very strange idea to me, because in England biscuits are sweet. Gravy is a salty, meat-based sauce. I later realized that “biscuits” in America are savoury snacks. What we call “biscuits,” they call “cookies.”
One day, I saw an “eggplant” pizza on the menu in a restaurant! Eggs do not grow on plants, I thought. What on earth could an “eggplant” be? Something eggy and leafy? My dad ordered this pizza and it was covered in aubergines. I asked him where the “eggplant” was. He laughed and pointed to the aubergines. He told me, “They call this ‘eggplant’ in America!”
Although the same “language” may be spoken in different countries, there are likely to be many differences, not just in vocabulary but also in spelling, grammar and pronunciation! I think part of the excitement of learning a language is discovering the differences in how it is spoken in different places.
4. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Holiday is a good time to relax. B. French fries are popular worldwide.
C. The waiter provided poor service. D. Chips and crisps are the same food.
5. Where does the author most probably come from?
A. America. B. France. C. England. D. Italy.
6. How did the author feel when seeing an “eggplant” pizza on the menu?
A. Excited. B. Regretful. C. Anxious. D. Confused.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. Advantages of travelling. B. High-end restaurants.
C. Food and tradition. D. Cross-cultural misunderstanding.
C
In the west of the Greek capital Athens, the fish market of Keratsini is busy early in the morning, with trucks waiting nearby to be loaded with fishes. But on his fishing boat, Arapakis sorts out something different—bottles, boots, plastic pipes and fishing nets, all dragged from the bed of the Aegean Sea.
“We are swimming in plastic” said Arapakis, whose family has fished for five generations. “By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea,” he said, as recent reports noted.
That morning’s plastic catch weighed “about 100 kilograms,” said the founder of Enaleia, a nonprofit that encourages fishermen to collect marine (海洋的) waste caught in their nets. Since its establishment in 2018, it has worked with more than 1,200 fishermen in Greece to raise concern over the degradation of the marine environment.
Active in 42 ports throughout Greece, Enaleia provides fishermen with large bags for marine waste that they can put in garbage cans once back at port. For every kilogram of plastic they deliver, they receive a small amount of money, which is enough for a drink. Since October, fishing crews have dragged out 20 metric tons of plastic and old fishing equipment each month. Nearly 600 tons have been collected over the last five years. The collected plastic is transported to a recycling plant in the industrial area of Megara near Keratsini, to make new products such as socks, swimwear or furniture.
Arapakis said he went about the cleanup project after a trip to Greece’s Cyclades islands, where he saw fishermen throwing the waste gathered by their nets back into the sea.
Arapakis is convinced there has been a “mentality change” among Greece’s fishermen. “Previously we caught large quantities of plastic, but we only kept the fish. All waste was thrown into the sea,” said Mokharam, team leader on the Arapakis family’s boat. “The project brings practical benefits for fishing boats. In the past, the anchor was often caught by waste, especially nets, and the engine would go out. But now things have changed,” he added.
8. What can we learn about Arapakis from the first 2 paragraphs?
A. He was a successful fish trader. B. He collected waste from the sea.
C. He liked swimming in the sea. D. He had a large family to support.
9. What does the underlined word “degradation” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Impact. B. Worsening. C. Improvement. D. Research.
10. What will most probably happen to the collected waste in the end?
A. It will be sold at a high price. B. It will be exchanged for food.
C. It will be thrown back into the sea. D. It will be well dealt with for reuse.
11. What can we infer from Mokharam’s words?
A. Fishing is a tough job for fishermen. B. The sea in Greece is seriously polluted.
C. He thinks highly of the cleanup project. D. He still feels ashamed for fishermen’s behavior.
D
Anyone who’s lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging. Some researches show youths across the U.S. are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well-documented. Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co-authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.
The study involved more than 1,200 students, ages 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors while raising their heart rate and just having fun. The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health.
“We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers,” said Wilson.
“Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity,” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well-being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students,” Wilson said. And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well-being, he said.
12. What does the new study mainly focus on?
A. Challenges in middle school. B. Youths in America.
C. Physical benefits of cycling. D. Mental effects of bike riding.
13. What did the students do in the program?
A. Attend the cycling class for a week.
B. Learn how to keep safe while cycling.
C. Raise their heart rate by cycling indoors.
D. Design questions to measure their health.
14. What is Reiss’s attitude to the result of the study?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Application of the research results.
B. Doubts about the research methods.
C. Further explanation of the research findings.
D. Supporting evidence from previous research.

When I was a child, we lived next door to the Schonfield Home. People who got too old to take care of themselves lived there. I was a regular visitor and enjoyed spending time with the old people there.
One day, a very old lady named Mrs. Kurtz moved to the Schonfield Home. She seemed sad all the time. For days, I had never seen her smile or laugh. My parents learned that she had no family or friends.
Weeks later, I was visiting the home again. And I saw her sitting alone, looking unusually depressed (消沉的). Mrs. Smith, one of the old people told me that Mrs. Kurtz had turned eighty-nine, and that she was upset to be celebrating another birthday all alone without any cards or gifts. She truly believed there was no one in the world who loved her.
This moved me deeply and I started to create a plan in my mind. I ran home and raced to my room. I took out my piggy bank that I always valued. And I poured out all the money that I had received on birthdays and other special occasions. I had been saving money for a new bike. Although the money wasn’t enough to buy a bike, it was enough for what I wanted to do then.
I raced down the stairs. My mother was cleaning the house. I walked to her and explained what I was about to do. And she smiled at me proudly. She planted a kiss on my cheek and said, “I must be the luckiest mother in the world to have such a caring daughter.” My mother stopped what she was doing.

When I was ten years old, I went to the US to visit some family friends. We travelled all the way from California to Las Vegas. I noticed something funny about the way everyone spoke English. I was thinking, “This is the way they speak in films!”
At the beginning of the holiday, one of my friends asked me if I wanted to order “French fries.” I couldn’t imagine what French fries were. What was fried and French?! Snails? Cheese? She was amazed that I had never tried them and she ordered a portion for us to share. When the waiter brought us some chips, I asked her where the French fries were. She pointed to the plate of chips! Later that week she said she was going to buy some “chips” from the supermarket. She came out with a packet of crisps!
During that holiday we were also offered “biscuits and gravy” with our lunch. This was a very strange idea to me, because in England biscuits are sweet. Gravy is a salty, meat-based sauce. I later realized that “biscuits” in America are savoury snacks. What we call “biscuits,” they call “cookies.”
One day, I saw an “eggplant” pizza on the menu in a restaurant! Eggs do not grow on plants, I thought. What on earth could an “eggplant” be? Something eggy and leafy? My dad ordered this pizza and it was covered in aubergines. I asked him where the “eggplant” was. He laughed and pointed to the aubergines. He told me, “They call this ‘eggplant’ in America!”
Although the same “language” may be spoken in different countries, there are likely to be many differences, not just in vocabulary but also in spelling, grammar and pronunciation! I think part of the excitement of learning a language is discovering the differences in how it is spoken in different places.
4. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Holiday is a good time to relax. B. French fries are popular worldwide.
C. The waiter provided poor service. D. Chips and crisps are the same food.
5. Where does the author most probably come from?
A. America. B. France. C. England. D. Italy.
6. How did the author feel when seeing an “eggplant” pizza on the menu?
A. Excited. B. Regretful. C. Anxious. D. Confused.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. Advantages of travelling. B. High-end restaurants.
C. Food and tradition. D. Cross-cultural misunderstanding.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】

In the west of the Greek capital Athens, the fish market of Keratsini is busy early in the morning, with trucks waiting nearby to be loaded with fishes. But on his fishing boat, Arapakis sorts out something different—bottles, boots, plastic pipes and fishing nets, all dragged from the bed of the Aegean Sea.
“We are swimming in plastic,” said Arapakis, whose family has fished for five generations. “By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea,” he said, as recent reports noted.
That morning’s plastic catch weighed “about 100 kilograms,” said the founder of Enaleia, a nonprofit that encourages fishermen to collect marine (海洋的) waste caught in their nets. Since its establishment in 2018, it has worked with more than 1,200 fishermen in Greece to raise concern over the degradation of the marine environment.
Active in 42 ports throughout Greece, Enaleia provides fishermen with large bags for marine waste that they can put in garbage cans once back at port. For every kilogram of plastic they deliver, they receive a small amount of money, which is enough for a drink. Since October, fishing crews have dragged out 20 metric tons of plastic and old fishing equipment each month. Nearly 600 tons have been collected over the last five years. The collected plastic is transported to a recycling plant in the industrial area of Megara near Keratsini, to make new products such as socks, swimwear or furniture.
Arapakis said he went about the cleanup project after a trip to Greece’s Cyclades islands, where he saw fishermen throwing the waste gathered by their nets back into the sea.
Arapakis is convinced there has been a “mentality change” among Greece’s fishermen. “Previously we caught large quantities of plastic, but we only kept the fish. All waste was thrown into the sea,” said Mokharam, team leader on the Arapakis family’s boat. “The project brings practical benefits for fishing boats. In the past, the anchor was often caught by waste, especially nets, and the engine would go out. But now things have changed,” he added.
8. What can we learn about Arapakis from the first 2 paragraphs?
A. He was a successful fish trader. B. He collected waste from the sea.
C. He liked swimming in the sea. D. He had a large family to support.
9. What does the underlined word “degradation” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Impact. B. Worsening. C. Improvement. D. Research.
10. What will most probably happen to the collected waste in the end?
A. It will be sold at a high price. B. It will be exchanged for food.
C. It will be thrown back into the sea. D. It will be well dealt with for reuse.
11. What can we infer from Mokharam’s words?
A. Fishing is a tough job for fishermen. B. The sea in Greece is seriously polluted.
C. He thinks highly of the cleanup project. D. He still feels ashamed for fishermen’s behavior.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。介绍了希腊首都雅典西部的一个渔市场,以及该地区渔民们在捕捞过程中遇到的海洋垃圾问题。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“But on his fishing boat, Arapakis sorts out something different—bottles, boots, plastic pipes and fishing nets, all dragged from the bed of the Aegean Sea.(但是在他的渔船上,Arapakis整理了一些不同的东西——瓶子、靴子、塑料管和渔网,都是从爱琴海的海床上拖出来的)”以及第二段““We are swimming in plastic,” said Arapakis, whose family has fished for five generations. “By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea,” he said, as recent reports noted.(“我们在塑料中游泳,”Arapakis说,他的家族已经有五代人在捕鱼。正如最近的报道所指出的那样,他说:“到2050年,海洋中的塑料将比鱼还多。”)”可知,这两段主要讲述了Arapakis从海里收集废物。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“That morning’s plastic catch weighed “about 100 kilograms,” said the founder of Enaleia, a nonprofit that encourages fishermen to collect marine (海洋的)waste caught in their nets.(Enaleia是一家鼓励渔民收集渔网捕获的海洋垃圾的非营利组织,该组织的创始人说,那天早上捕获的塑料重“约100公斤”)”可知,海洋中的垃圾很多,所以海洋环境现在是在恶化,推知degradation意为“恶化”,和B项意思相近。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The collected plastic is transported to a recycling plant in the industrial area of Megara near Keratsini, to make new products such as socks, swimwear or furniture.(收集到的塑料被运送到位于Keratsini附近的Megara工业区的一家回收厂,用于制造袜子、泳衣或家具等新产品)”可知,收集的废物最终将被很好地处理以重用。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Arapakis is convinced there has been a “mentality change” among Greece’s fishermen. “Previously we caught large quantities of plastic, but we only kept the fish. All waste was thrown into the sea,” said Mokharam, team leader on the Arapakis family’s boat. “The project brings practical benefits for fishing boats. In the past, the anchor was often caught by waste, especially nets, and the engine would go out. But now things have changed,” he added.(Arapakis确信,希腊渔民的“心态发生了变化”。“以前我们捕获了大量的塑料,但我们只保留了鱼。所有的垃圾都被扔进了海里,”Arapakis船上的领队Mokharam说。“该项目为渔船带来了实际利益。在过去,锚经常被废物,特别是网缠住,引擎会熄火。但现在情况变了。”)”可知,Mokharam认为该项目为渔船带来了实际利益,所以他对清理工程评价很高。故选C项。
D
Anyone who’s lived through middle school knows those years can be particularly challenging. Some researches show youths across the U.S. are struggling with mental health. The physical health benefits of bike riding have been well-documented. Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co-authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers.
The study involved more than 1,200 students, ages 11 to 14. Students participated in a cycling class for at least three days a week, for a period of 6 weeks. They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors while raising their heart rate and just having fun. The students completed standardized questionnaires before and after the program designed to measure their health.
“We know cycling can benefit the body. Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. Bike riding can be an ideal activity for adolescents because of the benefits it offers,” said Wilson.
“Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity,” said Allan Reiss, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. For example, previous research has shown that teenage girls are at higher risk of mental health problems like depression and anxiety than boys. The current study found that, while middle school girls reported increased well-being after participating in the cycling program, that increase “may just reach the kind of baseline level for male students,” Wilson said. And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. The study found that teenagers who didn’t limit screen time to a maximum of two hours a day, or who got less than the recommended 8.5 hours of sleep, saw less improvement in their well-being, he said.
12. What does the new study mainly focus on?
A. Challenges in middle school. B. Youths in America.
C. Physical benefits of cycling. D. Mental effects of bike riding.
13. What did the students do in the program?
A. Attend the cycling class for a week.
B. Learn how to keep safe while cycling.
C. Raise their heart rate by cycling indoors.
D. Design questions to measure their health.
14. What is Reiss’s attitude to the result of the study?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Negative.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Application of the research results.
B. Doubts about the research methods.
C. Further explanation of the research findings.
D. Supporting evidence from previous research.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现,骑自行车除了可以锻炼身体,还对青少年的大脑和社会关系有好处,且这种好处会有性别差异,也受到其他健康因素的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Wilson, a researcher at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, and his co-authors carried out a new study to see if taking part in a cycling program could result in measurable changes in mind for teenagers. (洛马林达大学医学院的研究人员Wilson和他的合著者进行了一项新的研究,看看参加自行车项目是否会给青少年的思想带来可衡量的变化。)”可知,这项新研究关注骑自行车对青少年精神的影响。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They learned cycling safety and practicing skills outdoors while raising their heart rate and just having fun. (在提高心率和享受乐趣的同时,他们学习了骑自行车的安全,在户外练习技巧。)”可知,在该项目中学生学习如何在骑自行车时保持安全。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Wilson所说的话“Our research shows how it benefits the mind and social relationships as well. (我们的研究表明,它对大脑和社会关系也有好处)”可知,该研究发现骑自行车也有益于大脑和社会关系;再结合第四段中Reiss所说的话“Cycling engages several parts of brain function. You are looking at your hearing, you’re balancing, you’re navigating and turning. Oftentimes, you’re doing it with someone else, so there’s the positive effect of company or group activity (骑自行车涉及大脑的几个部分的功能。你在留心你听到的东西,你在平衡,你在操纵和转弯。通常,你是和别人一起做的,所以陪伴或团体活动有积极的影响)”可知,Reiss也认为骑自行车可以锻炼大脑的多个功能,且其过程中的陪伴或团体活动有积极意义。由此推知,Reiss对研究发现持支持的态度。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容,尤其是其中的“While exercise has powerful mental health benefits, it’s not universal. (虽然运动对精神健康有很大的好处,但并不是普遍的)”和“And other aspects of healthy living are also important, noted Wilson. (Wilson指出,健康生活的其他方面也很重要)”可知,本段从两个方面对研究结果做出进一步的解释,一是骑自行车对精神健康的好处存在性别差异,女孩少于男孩,二是其他有关健康生活的因素也会影响这种好处的大小,例如屏幕时间和睡眠时间的长短。故选C项。

The good apps are designed to help you fit your studies around your timetable.(你是想在几周内流利地说英语,还是想参加大脑训练?好的应用程序是设计来帮助你适应你的学习时间表)”以及后文“These apps encourage habit building, because the successful formation of a habit ensures your safe and regular return.(这些应用程序鼓励养成习惯,因为成功养成习惯可以确保你的安全定期回归)”可知,上文提到好的应用程序是设计来帮助你适应你的学习时间表,即好的应用程序可以自我调整,来适应使用者的习惯,F选项中the best apps对应后文中These apps。故F选项“最好的应用程序会根据你的行为进行自我调整”符合语境,故选F。
【19题详解】
空处为本段小标题。根据下文“I don’t mean posting your progress online. I mean social for real. I owe the speed of progress I made in Italian to the support of Jim, my partner in study time. Find a friend to accompany you. Take an evening class. Borrow a book. Buy a book. Book a week away and attend a language school.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a child, we lived next door to the Schonfield Home. People who got too old to take care of themselves lived there. I was a regular visitor and enjoyed spending time with the old people there.
One day, a very old lady named Mrs. Kurtz moved to the Schonfield Home. She seemed sad all the time. For days, I had never seen her smile or laugh. My parents learned that she had no family or friends.
Weeks later, I was visiting the home again. And I saw her sitting alone, looking unusually depressed (消沉的). Mrs. Smith, one of the old people told me that Mrs. Kurtz had turned eighty-nine, and that she was upset to be celebrating another birthday all alone without any cards or gifts. She truly believed there was no one in the world who loved her.
This moved me deeply, and I started to create a plan in my mind. I ran home and raced to my room. I took out my piggy bank that I always valued. And I poured out all the money that I had received on birthdays and other special occasions. I had been saving money for a new bike. Although the money wasn’t enough to buy a bike, it was enough for what I wanted to do then.
I raced down the stairs. My mother was cleaning the house. I walked to her and explained what I was about to do. And she smiled at me proudly. She planted a kiss on my cheek and said, “I must be the luckiest mother in the world to have such a caring daughter.” My mother stopped what she was doing.

【答案】And we went to a gift shop together. There we bought a lovely heart-shaped musical jewelry box. Then we bought a birthday card and a beautiful bouquet of red roses. I wrote the following words on the card: “To the best lady at the Schonfield Home, Happy birthday and all the best! From your neighbor who loves you very much, Mimi”. With all our gifts, we headed for the Schonfield Home. And as expected, we found Mrs. Kurtz sitting alone on a chair. We went up to Mrs. Kurtz and gave her our gifts. I saw her eyes widen in surprise when she received our gifts. As she finished reading my message on the card, she looked up and flashed a beautiful smile, which I had never seen on her face before. When I said goodbye to her a while later, Mrs. Kurtz was still smiling, and at that moment, I noticed that my heart was smiling along with hers. At that moment, I understood a kind act is often its own reward.
