Future Matters Program
It is an 8-week paid summer research experience for high school students. This is a hands-on program for students interested in going after a career in medical research. Students will attend seminars led by faculty and participate in discussions with peers.
Research Science Institute
It is the first cost-free summer program of its kind. During this six-week program, students will dive deeper into the world of science and engineering by experiencing the entire research cycle. In this program students attend classes conducted by famous professors and prepare written and oral presentations to present their research.
21 What’s special in Program in Math for Young Scientists?

Sewing is frequently seen as an enjoyable and artistic activity. However, have you ever taken a moment to consider that for countless individuals worldwide, a sewing machine goes beyond its role as merely a tool, instead frequently serving as their crucial source of income?
When Margaret Jankowski discovered this, she chose to establish The Sewing Machine Project, an organization dedicated to collecting donated sewing machines and distributing them in remote areas such as Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Guam, and Kosovo. Additionally, the organization seeks to assist communities in Detroit and New Orleans.
After a tsunami struck Sri Lanka, Margaret was profoundly affected by the tale of a specific woman. The disaster ruined the woman’s village, resulting in her losing everything, including her sewing machine, which had been her primary means of earning a living. Moved by this story, Margaret made the decision to gather used sewing machines and ship them to Sri Lanka. After she announced her idea on a local news program, donations of sewing machines began pouring in from the community.
The Sewing Machine Project covers a basic yet necessary need of many impoverished people around the world. For them, sewing can be a tool for survival. Whether in a factory or at home, a sewing machine can be the door to brighter financial opportunities. A sewing machine can also enable many to preserve their cultural identity. After Hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005, a community of New Orleans that wears skillfully-made suits for their own traditional festival lost many of their sewing machines. Since then, the non-profit organization has distributed hundreds of machines among the creators of the costumes, helping them maintain their tradition as well as their income.
24. What is the purpose of including a question in the first paragraph?
A. To question the importance of sewing.
B. To emphasize the role of sewing.
C. To introduce the sewing project.
D. To provide background information about sewing.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Inspiration for the project. B. The experience of Margaret in 2004.
C. The story of a woman in Sri Lanka. D. Destruction of the 2004 tsunami.
26. What does the underlined word “impoverished” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. uneducated. B. badly-off. C. exhausted. D. pessimistic.
27. Why is the community in New Orleans mentioned in the end?
A. To highlight its cultural identity.
B. To prove the importance of keeping traditions.
C. To explain how organizations can provide immediate disaster relief.
D. To show another function of sewing machines.
C
US and Canadian researchers recently calculated the total amount of the worlds groundwater and estimated that it is equal to a lake 180 metres deep covering the entire Earth. This makes groundwater the largest active freshwater resource on the planet. The team also investigated its age. How did they do this?
Humans introduced a convenient time signature on the Earth when we started testing atomic (原子的) weapons. This leaves a time stamp which can be found in water, rocks and living organisms. By seeing if radioactivity (放射性) from atomic bomb testing was present in the groundwater, the researchers could estimate that about 6% of this groundwater is younger than 50 years old. If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then there is just three metres depth of modern groundwater spread equally over the continents.
It could be argued that if we use only this modern groundwater, then this is sustainable, as we know that it has been replaced or recharged (被补充) by natural processes over the last 50 years. But how quickly groundwater recharges changes over time.
Water has to reach the inside of rocks, either now or in the past. This means that the amount of rainfall has to be more than the amount of water evaporating (蒸发) from the land surface, and more than the amount of water used by all the plants. When this occurs, fresh water can recharge the groundwater from either water “leaking” from the beds of rivers or from rainwater that passes through the soil.
In many parts of the world we know that groundwater recharge varies due to natural climate variability such as El Nino. Groundwater recharge will also change with global warming.
28. How did the researchers estimate the age of the groundwater?
A. By analyzing its chemical composition. B. By testing atomic bomb.
C. By examining its freshness. D. By finding its time stamp.
29. What do people think of the supply of “modern” groundwater?
A. It’s limited. B. It’s fresh. C. It’s vital. D. It’s abundant.
30. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Water evaporating. B. Water leaking from river beds.
C. Water getting into rocks. D. Water being used by all the plants.
31. What are the last three paragraphs mainly talking about?
A. Groundwater sustainability. B. Climate variability.
C. Groundwater exploration. D. Global warming.
D
You may never know why. The email will arrive and reasons offered for your rejection might be the real ones—or not. Bosses have always spied on their employees, then judged them. Now the rise of the online self means the employer’s eye can travel still farther.
Even before the pandemic, research found that 28% of large companies had turned down applicants after carrying out such checks. And it is becoming more popular: Reed Screening, a large agency, was asked to run over a third more social-media checks in December 2021 than a year earlier. This month the government gave the practice approval when the Department for Education said schools and colleges “should consider carrying out an online search as part of their due diligence (尽职调查)”.
The way screening works is simple: Any “problematic” behaviours will be marked with a red flag. There are laws governing such online screening. David Erdos head of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law, says that companies are supposed to warn candidates before screening their social media and tell them that they have the right to hold back permission. Some companies follow these rules, but others may not. As for the right to refuse, it is hardly practicable. “Who on earth is going to be that person who says: ‘Hang on a minute, I’m not happy about that?’” asks Mr. Erdos. “That itself is likely to be a red flag.”
All agree that the spread of online screening is alarming, as it is so unforgiving. “People may be unable ever to be free of their online past,” says Mr. Erdos. As indeed some footballers, recently punished for comments made almost a decade ago when they were but teenagers, have found to their cost.
Those within the industry think laws should be tightened, with punishment for illegal act. In the meantime, being very careful is advisable. In talks to university students, Mr. Erdos warns them what companies will do to their social media when they apply for jobs. They are “universally terrified ”, he says. And rightly so.
32. What can we infer about online screening from paragraph 2?
A. It is discouraged by large companies.
B It is becoming increasingly acceptable in applicants.
C. It is more widely applied.
D. It highlights the wisdom of employers.
33. How do applicants usually respond to online screening?
A. They become indifferent to the red flags.
B. They have to give in to it.
C. They reject the screening.
D. They ignore their online profiles.
34. What is Mr Erdos’ opinion on posting comments online?
A. It is a fair way to evaluate employee. B. University students are free to do it.
C. It should be under strict laws. D. Its effect is hard to remove.
35. What could be a suitable title for the text?
A. Fix Your Eyes on Online Screening
B. Your Employer Is Watching You Remotely
C. Social-media Checks Are Around the Corner
D. Checks Online Are to Blame for Unemployment

One Saturday morning, Allen woke up to find the house unusually quiet. Typically, his mom would be up making breakfast and tidying up, but not this time. Hearing her cough, Allen knocked on her door and asked anxiously, “Mom, are you alright?” “Sweetheart,” she replied weakly. “I’ve got a bad cold. You can have cereal for breakfast and watch cartoons while I rest in bed.”
Allen poured some cereal into a bowl and ate the pieces dry. Mom must feel very bad if she was staying in bed all day. How could Allen help? First, he wiped up the crumbs of cereal he left on the kitchen counter. He also put away the cereal box neatly, so the kitchen looked just as it did when he woke up. But what else could he do? Allen thought. Saturday was the day when mom did laundry. Allen loved to watch the clothes spinning in the machine. That should be fun! He ran to his room to get the laundry basket, inside which there was his mother’s favorite white dress, among other clothes and a pair of red socks.
Allen opened the door to the washer and put the clothing inside. He had watched Mom do laundry lots of times, so he knew where to find the washing powder and how to pour it into the machine. Finally, he closed the door and pressed the big button that said “START.” Allen looked through the round glass window. Water was pouring in, and the machine was starting to spin, making his clothing tumble (滚动) around. That was easy!
Allen was watching cartoons when he heard the washing machine beep, indicating that the laundry was finished. He opened the door, took out the damp clothes, moved them into the dryer. Everything looked clean, and he felt a sense of pride. Then he pulled out a pink dress among the clothes.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1
But he remembered there was no pink dress in the laundry basket.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
Holding the neatly folded pink dress, Allen nervously knocked at his mom’s bedroom door again.

【22题详解】
细节理解题。由文章Future Matters Program部分中“This is a hands-on program for students interested in going after a career in medical research. (这是一个为有兴趣从事医学研究的学生提供的实践课程)”可知,对于想成为医生的学生来说,Future Matters Program是最合适的。故选C。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。由文章Simons Summer Research部分中“Students will have the opportunity to participate in special workshops, tours and events free of charge. (学生将有机会免费参加特别的研讨会、参观和活动)”和最后一段中“It is the first cost-free summer program of its kind. (这是同类项目中第一个免费的暑期项目)”可知,这两个项目都是免费的,所以费用相同。故选B。
B
Sewing is frequently seen as an enjoyable and artistic activity. However, have you ever taken a moment to consider that for countless individuals worldwide, a sewing machine goes beyond its role as merely a tool, instead frequently serving as their crucial source of income?
When Margaret Jankowski discovered this, she chose to establish The Sewing Machine Project, an organization dedicated to collecting donated sewing machines and distributing them in remote areas such as Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Guam, and Kosovo. Additionally, the organization seeks to assist communities in Detroit and New Orleans.
After a tsunami struck Sri Lanka, Margaret was profoundly affected by the tale of a specific woman. The disaster ruined the woman’s village, resulting in her losing everything, including her sewing machine, which had been her primary means of earning a living. Moved by this story, Margaret made the decision to gather used sewing machines and ship them to Sri Lanka. After she announced her idea on a local news program, donations of sewing machines began pouring in from the community.
The Sewing Machine Project covers a basic yet necessary need of many impoverished people around the world. For them, sewing can be a tool for survival. Whether in a factory or at home, a sewing machine can be the door to brighter financial opportunities. A sewing machine can also enable many to preserve their cultural identity. After Hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005, a community of New Orleans that wears skillfully-made suits for their own traditional festival lost many of their sewing machines. Since then, the non-profit organization has distributed hundreds of machines among the creators of the costumes, helping them maintain their tradition as well as their income.
24. What is the purpose of including a question in the first paragraph?
A. To question the importance of sewing.
B. To emphasize the role of sewing.
C. To introduce the sewing project.
D To provide background information about sewing.
25 What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Inspiration for the project. B. The experience of Margaret in 2004.
C. The story of a woman in Sri Lanka. D. Destruction of the 2004 tsunami.
26. What does the underlined word “impoverished” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. uneducated. B. badly-off. C. exhausted. D. pessimistic.
27. Why is the community in New Orleans mentioned in the end?
A. To highlight its cultural identity.
B. To prove the importance of keeping traditions.
C. To explain how organizations can provide immediate disaster relief.
D. To show another function of sewing machines.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了玛格丽特·扬科夫斯基创立了一个公益组织,募集旧缝纫机并重新分配给有需要的人们,帮他们维持生计,同时也使人们能够保留他们的文化认同的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Sewing is frequently seen as an enjoyable and artistic activity. However, have you ever taken a moment to consider that for countless individuals worldwide, a sewing machine goes beyond its role as merely a tool, instead frequently serving as their crucial source of income? (缝纫经常被视为一种令人愉快的艺术活动。然而,你有没有想过,对于世界上无数的人来说,缝纫机不仅仅是一种工具,而是他们重要的收入来源?)”和第二段中“When Margaret Jankowski discovered this, she chose to establish The Sewing Machine Project, an organization dedicated to collecting donated sewing machines and distributing them in remote areas such as Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Guam, and Kosovo. Additionally, the organization seeks to assist communities in Detroit and New Orleans. (当玛格丽特·扬科夫斯基发现这一点时,她决定建立“缝纫机项目”,一个致力于收集捐赠缝纫机并将其分发到斯里兰卡、危地马拉、关岛和科索沃等偏远地区的组织。此外,该组织还寻求帮助底特律和新奥尔良的社区。)”可知,设问是为了引出缝纫机项目的内容,解释其重要性。故选C。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“After a tsunami struck Sri Lanka, Margaret was profoundly affected by the tale of a specific woman. The disaster ruined the woman’s village, resulting in her losing everything, including her sewing machine, which had been her primary means of earning a living. Moved by this story, Margaret made the decision to gather used sewing machines and ship them to Sri Lanka. After she announced her idea on a local news program, donations of sewing machines began pouring in from the community. (海啸袭击斯里兰卡后,玛格丽特被一个女人的故事深深打动了。这场灾难摧毁了这个女人的村庄,导致她失去了一切,包括她的缝纫机,这是她主要的谋生手段。玛格丽特被这个故事感动了,她决定收集二手缝纫机并把它们运到斯里兰卡。在她在当地的一个新闻节目上宣布了她的想法后,社区开始大量捐赠缝纫机。)”可知,本段主要讲述了Margaret成立The Sewing Machine Project的灵感。故选A。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The Sewing Machine Project covers a basic yet necessary need of many impoverished people around the world. (缝纫机项目满足了世界各地许多impoverished人的基本需求。)”和“For them, sewing can be a tool for survival. Whether in a factory or at home, a sewing machine can be the door to brighter financial opportunities. (对他们来说,缝纫是一种生存的工具。无论是在工厂还是在家里,一台缝纫机都可以是通往更光明的财务机会的大门。)”可知,缝纫机是他们的生存工具,是通往更光明的财务机会的大门,由此可知句中的“them”是穷人,them指代impoverrished people。因此,impoverished意为“贫困的”。A. uneducated没受过教育的;B. badly-off穷的,生活拮据的;C. exhausted精疲力尽的;D. pessimistic悲观的。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“A sewing machine can also enable many to preserve their cultural identity. After Hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005, a community of New Orleans that wears skillfully-made suits for their own traditional festival lost many of their sewing machines. Since then, the non-profit organization has distributed hundreds of machines among the creators of the costumes, helping them maintain their tradition as well as their income. (一台缝纫机也可以使许多人保持他们的文化身份。2005年卡特里娜飓风发生后,新奥尔良的一个社区在他们自己的传统节日里穿着手工制作的西装,他们失去了许多缝纫机。从那时起,这家非营利组织向服装创作者分发了数百台机器,帮助他们保持传统和收入。)”可知,缝纫机也能让更多人保持他们的文化。由此推知,最后一段提到新奥尔良是为了突出它的让更多人保持他们的文化的功能,即展示缝纫机的另一个功能。故选D。
C
US and Canadian researchers recently calculated the total amount of the worlds groundwater and estimated that it is equal to a lake 180 metres deep covering the entire Earth. This makes groundwater the largest active freshwater resource on the planet. The team also investigated its age. How did they do this?
Humans introduced a convenient time signature on the Earth when we started testing atomic (原子的) weapons. This leaves a time stamp which can be found in water, rocks and living organisms. By seeing if radioactivity (放射性) from atomic bomb testing was present in the groundwater, the researchers could estimate that about 6% of this groundwater is younger than 50 years old. If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then there is just three metres depth of modern groundwater spread equally over the continents.
It could be argued that if we use only this modern groundwater, then this is sustainable, as we know that it has been replaced or recharged (被补充) by natural processes over the last 50 years. But how quickly groundwater recharges changes over time.
Water has to reach the inside of rocks, either now or in the past. This means that the amount of rainfall has to be more than the amount of water evaporating (蒸发) from the land surface, and more than the amount of water used by all the plants. When this occurs, fresh water can recharge the groundwater from either water “leaking” from the beds of rivers or from rainwater that passes through the soil.
In many parts of the world we know that groundwater recharge varies due to natural climate variability such as El Nino. Groundwater recharge will also change with global warming.
28. How did the researchers estimate the age of the groundwater?
A. By analyzing its chemical composition. B. By testing atomic bomb.
C. By examining its freshness. D. By finding its time stamp.
29. What do people think of the supply of “modern” groundwater?
A. It’s limited. B. It’s fresh. C. It’s vital. D. It’s abundant.
30 What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Water evaporating. B. Water leaking from river beds.
C. Water getting into rocks. D. Water being used by all the plants.
31. What are the last three paragraphs mainly talking about?
A. Groundwater sustainability. B. Climate variability.
C. Groundwater exploration. D. Global warming.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地下水成为地球上最大的活跃淡水资源的现象以及地下水的可持续性。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Humans introduced a convenient time signature on the Earth when we started testing atomic (原子的) weapons. This leaves a time stamp which can be found in water, rocks and living organisms. By seeing if radioactivity (放射性) from atomic bomb testing was present in the groundwater, the researchers could estimate that about 6% of this groundwater is younger than 50 years old. (人类在开始测试原子武器时,在地球上引入了一个方便的时间标记。这一时间戳可以在水、岩石和生物体中找到。通过检测地下水中是否存在来自核试验的放射性物质,研究人员可以估计大约6%的地下水年龄小于50岁)”可知,研究人员通过找出核弹测试所留下的时间戳来估算地下水的年龄。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then there is just three metres depth of "modern" groundwater spread equally over the continents. (如果这些水平均分布在各大洲,那么只有3米深的“现代”地下水平均分布在各大洲)”可知,人们认为这种“现代”地下水是有限的。故选A项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Water has to reach the inside of rocks, either now or in the past. This means that the amount of rainfall has to be more than the amount of water evaporating (蒸发) from the land surface, and more than the amount of water used by all the plants. When this occurs, fresh water can recharge the groundwater from either water “leaking” from the beds of rivers or from rainwater that passes through the soil. (无论是现在还是过去,水都必须进入岩石内部。这意味着降雨量必须大于从陆地表面蒸发的水量,并且大于所有植物使用的水量。当这种情况发生时,淡水可以从河床“泄漏”的水或通过土壤的雨水中补充地下水)”可知,this指代上文提到的水进入岩石。A. Water evaporating水蒸发;B. Water leaking from river beds河床漏水;C. Water getting into rocks水渗入岩石;D. Water being used by all the plants水被所有植物使用。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读最后三段,尤其是根据倒数第三段中“It could be argued that if we use only this modern groundwater, then this is sustainable, as we know that it has been replaced or recharged (被补充) by natural processes over the last 50 years. (有人可能会说,如果我们只使用这种现代地下水,那么这是可持续的,因为我们知道,在过去的50年里,它已经被自然过程所取代或补充)”和倒数第二段中“When this occurs, fresh water can recharge the groundwater from either water “leaking” from the beds of rivers or from rainwater that passes through the soil. (当这种情况发生时,淡水可以从河床“泄漏”的水或通过土壤的雨水中补充地下水)”以及最后一段中“Groundwater recharge will also change with global warming. (地下水补给也将随着全球变暖而改变)”可知,最后三段主要讲地下水的可持续性。故选A项。
D
You may never know why. The email will arrive and reasons offered for your rejection might be the real ones—or not. Bosses have always spied on their employees, then judged them. Now the rise of the online self means the employer’s eye can travel still farther.
Even before the pandemic, research found that 28% of large companies had turned down applicants after carrying out such checks. And it is becoming more popular: Reed Screening, a large agency, was asked to run over a third more social-media checks in December 2021 than a year earlier. This month the government gave the practice approval when the Department for Education said schools and colleges “should consider carrying out an online search as part of their due diligence (尽职调查)”.
The way screening works is simple: Any “problematic” behaviours will be marked with a red flag. There are laws governing such online screening. David Erdos head of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law, says that companies are supposed to warn candidates before screening their social media and tell them that they have the right to hold back permission. Some companies follow these rules, but others may not. As for the right to refuse, it is hardly practicable. “Who on earth is going to be that person who says: ‘Hang on a minute, I’m not happy about that?’” asks Mr. Erdos. “That itself is likely to be a red flag.”
All agree that the spread of online screening is alarming, as it is so unforgiving. “People may be unable ever to be free of their online past,” says Mr. Erdos. As indeed some footballers, recently punished for comments made almost a decade ago when they were but teenagers, have found to their cost.
Those within the industry think laws should be tightened, with punishment for illegal act. In the meantime, being very careful is advisable. In talks to university students, Mr. Erdos warns them what companies will do to their social media when they apply for jobs. They are “universally terrified ”, he says. And rightly so.
32. What can we infer about online screening from paragraph 2?
A. It is discouraged by large companies.
B. It is becoming increasingly acceptable in applicants.
C. It is more widely applied.
D. It highlights the wisdom of employers.
33. How do applicants usually respond to online screening?
A. They become indifferent to the red flags.
B. They have to give in to it.
C. They reject the screening.
D. They ignore their online profiles.
34. What is Mr Erdos’ opinion on posting comments online?
A. It is a fair way to evaluate employee. B. University students are free to do it.
C. It should be under strict laws. D. Its effect is hard to remove.
35. What could be a suitable title for the text?
A. Fix Your Eyes on Online Screening
B. Your Employer Is Watching You Remotely
C. Social-media Checks Are Around the Corner
D. Checks Online Are to Blame for Unemployment
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是在网络的帮助下,雇主可以更为广泛地监控和评价申请者。

(而且它正变得越来越受欢迎:2021年12月,大型机构Reed Screening被要求比一年前多检查三分之一以上的社交媒体。本月,英国政府批准了这一做法,教育部表示,学校和大学“应该考虑开展在线搜索,作为其尽职调查的一部分”。)”可推断,网上筛选已经越来越被接受。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As for the right to refuse, it is hardly practicable. “Who on earth is going to be that person who says: ‘Hang on a minute, I’m not happy about that?’” asks Mr Erdos. “That itself is likely to be a red flag.” (至于拒绝的权利,这几乎是不切实际的。“到底是谁会说:‘等一下,我对此不高兴?’”Mr. Erdos问道。“这本身可能就是一个危险信号。””)”可知,申请者面对在线筛查最后只有服从。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““People may be unable ever to be free of their online past,” says Mr Erdos. As indeed some footballers, recently punished for comments made almost a decade ago when they were but teenagers, have found to their cost. (Mr. Erdos表示:“人们可能永远无法摆脱他们在网上的过去。”事实上,一些足球运动员最近因为十年前十几岁时发表的言论而受到惩罚,他们发现自己付出了代价。)”可推断,网上的言论带来的影响力很难消除。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“You may never know why. The email will arrive and reasons offered for your rejection might be the real ones—or not. Bosses have always spied on their employees, then judged them. Now the rise of the online self means the employer’s eye can travel still farther. (你可能永远不知道为什么。邮件总会收到,你拒绝的理由可能是真的,也可能不是。老板们总是暗中监视他们的员工,然后评判他们。现在,网络自我的兴起意味着雇主的目光可以走得更远。)”及全文可知,文章主要介绍的是在网络的帮助下,雇主可以更为广泛地监控和评价申请者。所以B选项“Your Employer Is Watching You Remotely (你的雇主正在远程监视你)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。

(接下来,你必须引起那些忙着为顾客服务的服务员的注意。当他们经过时,你通常会听到有人喊“热水”,即使他们没有拿任何这样的东西!)”可知,本空应说明成功找到座位的人需要继续等待,F选项“However, finding a seat doesn’t mean the end of waiting. (然而,找到座位并不意味着等待的结束)”描述了成功找到座位的人接下来的服务等待问题,能承上启下,符合题意。故选F。

The waiters often yell the orders to the cooks in the back. (当服务员来为你点菜时,他通常是不耐烦的。如果顾客无法做出决定,服务员可能会直接走开,这样他们就很难再次得到顾客的关注。服务员经常大声向后面的厨师点菜)”可知,上文描述了服务员不耐烦的态度和大声喊订单的行为。接下来应该说明这种行为的效果。G选项“This behavior makes the place feel very busy. (这种行为让这个地方感觉非常繁忙)”能承接上文,符合语境。故选G。

由下文“The exhausted waiters can finally take a moment to sit down, enjoying a chat or a cigarette. The activity at the eating place winds down, ready to recover before the next day of madness arrives. (疲惫不堪的服务员终于可以坐下来,聊聊天或抽根烟。吃饭的地方的活动逐渐结束,准备在第二天的疯狂到来之前恢复过来)”可知,下文描述了疲惫不堪的服务员终于能放松一点,吃饭的地方的活动逐渐结束。本空说明随着时间的推移,餐厅的人减少了。D选项“By the midnight the crowd begins to thin and the noise dies down (到了午夜,人群开始减少,噪音也逐渐消失)”能引起下文,符合语境,描述了午夜后餐厅的变化。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了鸣沙山的月牙泉的存在原因,及其自身的美吸引了海内外游客,成为游客的浪漫天堂。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:鸣沙山位于中国西部敦煌市,以风吹过沙丘时发出的独特声音而闻名。句子谓语动词是 is renowned for,空格处使用非谓语动词, the unique sounds与produce为被动关系,此空应用过去分词作后置定语。故填produced。
【57题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:当你漫步在流沙中时,有时你会听到脚下传来的巨大声响。foot“脚”为可数名词,其复数形式为feet,根据设空前your可知,此处指双脚,所以用复数形式。故填feet。
【58题详解】
考查时态。句意:这个看起来像新月的泉水,已经存在了几千年,从未干涸过。设空处为句子谓语,根据for thousands of years 可知,其时态可用现在完成时表示过去的动作持续到现在,也可用现在完成进行时强调动作的持续性,结合主语The spring,所以助动词用has。故填has existed/has been existing。
【59题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:月牙泉的形成和连续存在都与其地理位置有关。设空处在句中作谓语;结合下一句谓语动词joins,可知陈述事实,句子时态用一般现在时。主语The formation and continuous existence of the Crescent Spring(月牙泉的形成和连续存在),为复数,所以be用are。故填are。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:平均来说,那里的蒸发量是年降雨量的60倍。这里考查on an average,表“平均而言”,为固定短语,设空处处于句首,所以首字母应大写。故填On。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意同上。根据句意可知,上文“the evaporation (蒸发) there”指该地的蒸发量(水),空白处在句中指月牙泉所在地的降水量(水),表示同一含义,但内容为不同物,为了避免重复,所以用代词that,表特指,指代同类异物。故填that。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:尽管这里非常干燥,但稳定的水源保证了泉水的持续供应。根据设空后的名词water supply可知,空白处要填形容词。continue,动词,意为“持续”,其形容词形式为continuous“可持续的”或者continual“不间断的”,均符合句意。故填continuous/continual。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意:只要有沙尘暴,就会在周围的沙山之间形成向上的气流。设空后upward air flow为名词短语,可数,此处表示“一股向上的气流”,用不定冠词表泛指,upward的首个音素为元音音素。故填an。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:气流把脚下的沙子送回了沙山的山顶,使月牙泉免遭流沙的破坏。句子谓语动词是pushes,设空处在句中作状语,应用非谓语动词,动词save与其逻辑主语The air flow为主谓关系,所以save用现在分词形式。故填saving。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:月牙泉吸引了海内外游客,成为游客的浪漫天堂。空白处及之后内容为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词The Crescent Spring,在从句中作beauty的定语,指“月牙泉的美”,所以用关系代词whose。故填whose。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One Saturday morning, Allen woke up to find the house unusually quiet. Typically, his mom would be up making breakfast and tidying up, but not this time. Hearing her cough, Allen knocked on her door and asked anxiously, “Mom, are you alright?” “Sweetheart,” she replied weakly. “I’ve got a bad cold. You can have cereal for breakfast and watch cartoons while I rest in bed.”
Allen poured some cereal into a bowl and ate the pieces dry. Mom must feel very bad if she was staying in bed all day. How could Allen help? First, he wiped up the crumbs of cereal he left on the kitchen counter. He also put away the cereal box neatly, so the kitchen looked just as it did when he woke up. But what else could he do? Allen thought. Saturday was the day when mom did laundry. Allen loved to watch the clothes spinning in the machine. That should be fun! He ran to his room to get the laundry basket, inside which there was his mother’s favorite white dress, among other clothes and a pair of red socks.
Allen opened the door to the washer and put the clothing inside. He had watched Mom do laundry lots of times, so he knew where to find the washing powder and how to pour it into the machine. Finally, he closed the door and pressed the big button that said “START.” Allen looked through the round glass window. Water was pouring in, and the machine was starting to spin, making his clothing tumble (滚动) around. That was easy!
Allen was watching cartoons when he heard the washing machine beep, indicating that the laundry was finished. He opened the door, took out the damp clothes, moved them into the dryer. Everything looked clean, and he felt a sense of pride. Then he pulled out a pink dress among the clothes.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1
But he remembered there was no pink dress in the laundry basket.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
Holding the neatly folded pink dress, Allen nervously knocked at his mom’s bedroom door again.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
But he remembered there was no pink dress in the laundry basket. “Where did it come from?” Allen wondered, reaching into the washer to take out more clothes. Then much to his astonishment, he pulled out two T-shirts, both in light pink. Realizing there was something wrong, Allen stood frozen, his heart sinking. Suddenly, he caught sight of the red socks. He knew the reason for the accident. With no means of handling the situation, Allen was in such a panic that he even thought of hiding the dress from his mom. “That is not a positive approach to the problem,” he reminded himself. Finally, he decided to dry and fold the laundry before telling his mom everything.
Paragraph 2
Holding the neatly folded pink dress, Allen nervously knocked at his mom’s bedroom door again. He came to the bedside with his head drooping. Sensing her son’s unease, the mother inquired with concern what was wrong. Realizing what’s going on, mom smiled understandingly at Allen, “Never mind, dear. I know you meant to help.” Then mom held the dress up before her and said in an approving tone, “You know what? I think it looks nicer.” At this, Allen beamed with relief, making a silent vow to be more careful in helping his mom out next time.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述的是一个周六的早上,Allen发现妈妈生病了,决定帮妈妈分担家务,却在洗衣服时不小心把衣服混色了的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“但他记得洗衣篮里没有粉红色的连衣裙。”可知,第一段可描写Allen发现衣服变色并找到变色的原因。
②由第二段首句内容“Allen拿着那件叠得整整齐齐的粉红色连衣裙,紧张地再次敲了敲妈妈的卧室门。”可知,第二段可描写Allen向妈妈承认错误的过程。
2.续写线索:发现衣服变色——找到变色原因——决定向妈妈承认错误——获得原谅
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.拿出,取出:pull out/ take out
②.发现,看见:catch sight of/ see/notice
③.决定做某事:decide to do/determine to do
情绪类
①.惊讶: astonishment/surprise
②.不安:unease/uneasiness/discomfort

[高分句型2]With no means of handling the situation, Allen was in such a panic that he even thought of hiding the dress from his mom.(运用了such...that...引导的结果状语从句)
