Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated-her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard， none of them received proper homeschooling.(在她的书《Educated》中，Tara在爱达荷州的农村长大。她的父亲认为世界末日即将来临，家庭应该尽可能少地与卫生和教育系统互动。重大的医疗危机没有得到治疗——她的母亲从未从脑部损伤中恢复过来。因为Tara和她的六个兄弟姐妹在他们父亲的垃圾场工作，他们没有一个人接受过适当的家庭教育。)”以及第三段“Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her worldview was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as fact. (在17岁踏入教室之前，她的世界观完全是由父亲塑造的。直到她上了杨百翰大学，她才意识到，对于她父亲所说的事实，还有其他的看法。)”可知，Tara的成长环境限制了她接受教育和拥有批判性思维的机会。故选B。 17．推理判断题。根据第三段“Eventually, she earned her doctorate in history from Cambridge. Of the seven Westover siblings, three earned Ph. D.s. I think their childhood experience made them tough and helped them persevere. When you meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentioning her childhood traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by how she talks so openly about how ignorant she once was.(最终，她在剑桥大学获得了历史学博士学位。在Westover的七个兄弟姐妹中，有三个获得了博士学位。我认为他们的童年经历让他们变得坚强，并帮助他们坚持下去。当你见到Tara时，即使提到她童年的创伤，包括她遭受的身体虐待，她也从不残忍。她如此坦率地谈论自己曾经多么无知，这给我留下了深刻的印象。)”可推测，Tara是个有毅力、诚实的人。故选A。 18．推理判断题。根据文章第四段““I worry that education is becoming a stick that some people use to beat other people into submission or becoming something that people feel arrogant (傲慢的) about,” she said. “I think education is really just a process of self-discovery-of developing a sense of self and what you think. I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.”(她说：“我担心教育正在成为一些人用来迫使别人屈服的大棒，或者成为人们感到傲慢的东西。我认为教育实际上只是一个自我发现的过程——培养自我意识和你的想法。我认为这是一种连接和平衡的伟大机制。”)”可知，Tara认为教育应该是一个自我发现的过程，应该培养自我意识和自己的想法。故选A。 19．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last.( Tara自我发现的过程在《Educated》中被完美地捕捉到了。她是个有才华的作家，我想这本书不会是最后一本。)”以及全文内容可知，文章介绍了Tara Westover的自传体图书《Educated》，讨论了这本书的主题、信息和影响，以及作者对它的个人反思。并介绍了作者的成长经历，她的教育经历，以及她对教育的看法，因此这篇文章是一篇书评。故选D。 B 【答案】20．B 21．D 22．B 23．A 【解析】20．推理判断题。由第一段中“After Rice’s chance encounter with tiling, family members often saw her in the kitchen constantly drawing shapes. (Rice偶然接触瓷砖后，家人经常看到她在厨房里不停地画形状)”和第三段中“She also wrote in an essay, “My interest was engaged by the subject and I wanted to understand every detail of it. (她还在一篇文章中写道，“我对这个主题很感兴趣，我想了解它的每一个细节)”可知，Rice对瓷砖这个主题很感兴趣，想了解它的每一个细节，可得出因为想探索瓷砖的秘密，所以Rice经常在厨房里画形状。故选B项。 21．细节理解题。由第三段中“Lacking a mathematical background, I developed my own symbol system and in a few months discovered a new type. (由于缺乏数学背景，我开发了自己的符号系统，并在几个月内发现了一种新的类型)”可知，Rice成功地开发了一个系统。故选D项。 22．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，1975年，圣地亚哥一位名叫马乔里·赖斯（Marjorie Rice ）的家庭主妇在《科学美国人》杂志上偶然看到一篇关于瓷砖的专栏文章，因为想探索瓷砖的秘密，Rice经常在厨房里画形状，虽缺乏数学背景（高中只学了一年数学），但她凭借自己对数学的热情潜心研究，开发了自己的符号系统，坚持不懈，发现了以前从未见过的图案，B项“赖斯的努力”符合文意。故选B项。 23．推理判断题。通读全文可知，1975年，圣地亚哥一位名叫马乔里·赖斯（Marjorie Rice ）的家庭主妇在《科学美国人》杂志上偶然看到一篇关于瓷砖的专栏文章，因为想探索瓷砖的秘密，Rice经常在厨房里画形状，虽缺乏数学背景（高中只学了一年数学），但她凭借自己对数学的热情潜心研究，开发了自己的符号系统，坚持不懈，发现了以前从未见过的图案，文章告诉我们“世上无难事，只怕有心人（Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.）”。故选A项。 C 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．A 27．D 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍如何选择适当的出行方式来降低运输过程中的碳足迹。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段“How can you stop using a car? Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike.(你怎么能停止开车？试着坐火车、公共汽车，或者骑自行车)”和第三段“But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year.(但让我们现实一点。今年你可能需要用车)”可知，作者认为不使用汽车是不切实际的。故选C。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段“Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control (定速巡航) on long drives-in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip.(轮胎气压过低会影响你的燃油经济性。空调和频繁的城市驾驶会使排放上升，所以尽可能减少这些排放。在长途驾驶中使用巡航控制——在大多数情况下，这可以帮助节省汽油。不要给你的车添置旅途中不需要的额外物品)”可知，适当的保养汽车可以节省汽车的燃油，故选A。 26．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable products, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally.(如果你不能避免坐飞机，你可以通过向可持续产品捐款来offset这些影响，比如向农村家庭提供高效炉灶，或者帮助农民环保处理作物废弃物的项目)”可知，这里是在建议用高效节能的方法来抵消因坐飞机而产生的碳足迹，故划线词offset的意思应该是“抵消，弥补”。故选A。 27．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel.(交通运输产生的二氧化碳排放现在被认为是温室气体的首要来源。减少碳足迹的最有效方法之一是重新考虑你旅行的次数和频率)”以及文章主要讲述如何选择适当的出行方式来降低运输过程中的碳足迹。因此推断D项“降低交通运输中的碳足迹”为最佳标题。故选D。 D 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．D 31．A 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着信息技术的发展，社交媒体越来越普及，一些短视频平台受到了人们的欢迎，直播行业也得以迅速发展。然而社交媒体极具多变性，我们必须正视其利弊，思考其对我们的影响。 28．词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句“Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. (趋势此起彼伏，消失的速度几乎和出现的速度一样快)”可知，这里描述潮流就像是昙花一现，其出现和消失的速度一样快。由此可推知，社交媒体是易变的。所以volatility意为“易变”。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据第六段“Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musical, who has over 2 million followers, said, “The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature.”(拥有200多万粉丝的美国应用Musical的用户Liza Koshy说：“短视频应用程序用户获得的社区感是另一个吸引人的功能。”)”可知，莉莎·科希认为短视频应用程序非常受欢迎是因为它能让用户拥有社区意识。故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the quick development of social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it causes. Materials shared on these platforms are often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can mislead users one way or another.  (然而，社交媒体的快速发展也可能产生副作用。假新闻是它造成的一个严重问题。在这些平台上共享的材料通常不会进行准确性检查。最基本的内容可能是虚假的，并可能以某种方式误导用户。)”可知，社交媒体的快速发展也可能产生副作用，所以，它还有很大的改进空间。故选D。 31．推理判断题。根据第六段“Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musical, who has over 2 million followers, said, “The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature.”(拥有200多万粉丝的美国应用Musical的用户Liza Koshy说：“短视频应用程序用户获得的社区感是另一个吸引人的功能。”)”可知，作者引用别人的观点来说明社交媒体的益处。再根据最后一段“However, the quick development of social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it causes. Materials shared on these platforms are often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can mislead users one way or another. We use social media all the time, which doesn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds. (然而，社交媒体的快速发展也可能产生副作用。假新闻是它造成的一个严重问题。在这些平台上共享的材料通常不会进行准确性检查。最基本的内容可能是虚假的，并可能以某种方式误导用户。我们一直在使用社交媒体，这并不意味着我们理解它对我们的影响。我们应该注意我们在社交媒体上花费的时间及其对我们思想的影响。)”可知，作者又介绍了社交媒体的弊端，并详细介绍了其可能产生的负面影响。由此可推知，作者对社交媒体的快速发展持客观态度。故选A。 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，共8分） 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。 【答案】32．In China. 33．When people watched birds fly. 34．The farmer’s flying hat. 35．By people’s experiences or observations of the natural world. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了关于第一只风筝是如何诞生的的三个故事。 32．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“The first kites were created in China. ”（第一只风筝是在中国制造的。）可知，第一只风筝是在中国制造的。故答案为：In China. 33．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Many people believe that the kite was created when people watched birds fly. They then attempted to make a light object shaped like a bird that could fly high in the wind.”（许多人相信风筝是人们看着鸟儿飞翔时创造出来的。然后，他们试图制造一个形状像鸟的轻物体，可以在风中高飞。）可知，在第一个故事中，人们创造风筝是因为人们看到鸟的飞翔，即鸟的飞翔给了人们创造风筝的启发。 故答案为：When people watched birds fly. 34．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“A sudden and strong wind swept the hat off his head and carried it high into the sky. But the farmer no longer needed to run after his hat. At that time, he got the idea of making a kite.”（一阵突如其来的大风把他的帽子从头上吹下来，带到了高高的天空。但是农夫不再需要追逐他的帽子了。那时，他萌生了做风筝的念头。）可知，让农夫萌生造风筝的念头源于风把他的帽子吹起的事件。故答案为：The farmer’s flying hat. 35．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“Like the roots of many inventions, these stories are each inspired by people’s experiences or observations of the natural world.”（就像许多发明的根源一样，这些故事都是受到人们对自然世界的经历或观察的启发。）可知，由于人们对自然世界的经历或观察的启发，促使人们创造出发明。故答案为：By people’s experiences or observations of the natural world. 四、书面表达（共1小题，20分） 36．【答案】Dear Chris, How’s everything going?

It’s hard to understand these words until I read Tara Westover’s memoir Educated. In her book Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idaho. Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated-her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard， none of them received proper homeschooling. Educated is an amazing story. I found it fascinating how it took studying philosophy and history in school for Tara to trust her own perception of the world. Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her worldview was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as fact. Eventually, she earned her doctorate in history from Cambridge. Of the seven Westover siblings, three earned Ph. D．s. I think their childhood experience made them tough and helped them persevere. When you meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentioning her childhood traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by how she talks so openly about how ignorant she once was. Educated touches on the divides in our country: rural versus urban, college-educated versus not. Since she’s spent her whole life moving between these two worlds, I asked Tara what she thought. “I worry that education is becoming a stick that some people use to beat other people into submission or becoming something that people feel arrogant (傲慢的) about,” she said. “I think education is really just a process of self-discovery-of developing a sense of self and what you think. I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.” Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last. 16．How did Tara’s upbringing shape her worldview? A．It prepared her for a successful academic career. B．It limited her access to education and critical thinking. C．It encouraged her to embrace different perspectives and ideas. D．It instilled in her a strong sense of independence and resilience. 17．Which could best describe Tara according to the text? A．Perseverant and honest. B．Talented and weak. C．Cruel and accomplished. D．Romantic and determined. 18．According to Tara, what should education primarily involve? A．Exploring more of oneself and individual thoughts. B．Following established social rules and regulations C．Strengthening divisions and in equalities among people. D．Obtaining certain rights and privileges to defeat others. 19．What is the text type of this passage? A．Autobiography. B．News report. C．Persuasive essays. D．Book review. 【答案】16．B 17．A 18．A 19．D 【解析】 16．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In her book Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idaho. Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated-her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard， none of them received proper homeschooling.(在她的书《Educated》中，Tara在爱达荷州的农村长大。她的父亲认为世界末日即将来临，家庭应该尽可能少地与卫生和教育系统互动。重大的医疗危机没有得到治疗——她的母亲从未从脑部损伤中恢复过来。因为Tara和她的六个兄弟姐妹在他们父亲的垃圾场工作，他们没有一个人接受过适当的家庭教育。)”以及第三段“Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her worldview was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as fact. (在17岁踏入教室之前，她的世界观完全是由父亲塑造的。直到她上了杨百翰大学，她才意识到，对于她父亲所说的事实，还有其他的看法。)”可知，Tara的成长环境限制了她接受教育和拥有批判性思维的机会。故选B。 17．推理判断题。根据第三段“Eventually, she earned her doctorate in history from Cambridge. Of the seven Westover siblings, three earned Ph. D.s. I think their childhood experience made them tough and helped them persevere. When you meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentioning her childhood traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by how she talks so openly about how ignorant she once was.(最终，她在剑桥大学获得了历史学博士学位。在Westover的七个兄弟姐妹中，有三个获得了博士学位。我认为他们的童年经历让他们变得坚强，并帮助他们坚持下去。当你见到Tara时，即使提到她童年的创伤，包括她遭受的身体虐待，她也从不残忍。她如此坦率地谈论自己曾经多么无知，这给我留下了深刻的印象。)”可推测，Tara是个有毅力、诚实的人。故选A。 18．推理判断题。根据文章第四段““I worry that education is becoming a stick that some people use to beat other people into submission or becoming something that people feel arrogant (傲慢的) about,” she said. “I think education is really just a process of self-discovery-of developing a sense of self and what you think. I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.”(她说：“我担心教育正在成为一些人用来迫使别人屈服的大棒，或者成为人们感到傲慢的东西。我认为教育实际上只是一个自我发现的过程——培养自我意识和你的想法。我认为这是一种连接和平衡的伟大机制。”)”可知，Tara认为教育应该是一个自我发现的过程，应该培养自我意识和自己的想法。故选A。 19．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last.( Tara自我发现的过程在《Educated》中被完美地捕捉到了。她是个有才华的作家，我想这本书不会是最后一本。)”以及全文内容可知，文章介绍了Tara Westover的自传体图书《Educated》，讨论了这本书的主题、信息和影响，以及作者对它的个人反思。并介绍了作者的成长经历，她的教育经历，以及她对教育的看法，因此这篇文章是一篇书评。故选D。 B In 1975, a San Diego homemaker named Marjorie Rice came across a column in Scientific American about tiling (瓷砖). There is a problem which has interested mathematicians since ancient Greek times. After Rice’s chance encounter with tiling, family members often saw her in the kitchen constantly drawing shapes. “I thought she was just drawing casually (随意),” her daughter Kathy said. But Rice who took only one year of math in high school, was actually discovering never-before-seen patterns. Born in Florida, she loved learning and particularly her brief exposure to math, but tight budget and social culture prevented her family from even considering that she might attend college. “For Rice, math was a pleasure,” her son David once said. Rice gave one of her sons a subscription to Scientific American partly because she could read it carefully while the children were at school. When she read Gardner’s column about tiling as she later recalled in an interview: “I thought it must be wonderful that someone could discover these beautiful patterns which no one had seen before.” She also wrote in an essay, “My interest was engaged by the subject and I wanted to understand every detail of it. Lacking a mathematical background, I developed my own symbol system and in a few months discovered a new type.” Astonished and delighted, she sent her work to Gardner, who sent it to Doris, a tiling expert at Moravian College. Doris confirmed that Rice’s finding was correct. Later, Rice declined to lecture on her discoveries, citing shyness, but at Doris’s invitation, she attended a university mathematics meeting, where she was introduced to the audience. Rice still said nothing of her achievements to her children, but they eventually found out as the awards mounted. 20．Why did Rice often draw shapes in the kitchen? A．To become a mathematician. B．To explore the secret of tiling. C．To fill her leisure time. D．To show her passion for drawing. 21．What can we learn about Rice from Paragraphs 2 and 3? A．She longed to start a column. B．She was rejected from a college. C．She was good at designing patterns. D．She succeeded in developing a system. 22．What is the text mainly about? A．The magic of math. B．The efforts of Rice. C．The humility of Rice. D．The patterns of tiling. 23．What can we learn from the Rice’s experience? A．Nothing is impossible to a willing mind. B．Actions speak louder than words. C．Every cloud has a silver lining. D．Practice makes perfect. 【答案】20．B 21．D 22．B 23．A 【解析】20．推理判断题。由第一段中“After Rice’s chance encounter with tiling, family members often saw her in the kitchen constantly drawing shapes. (Rice偶然接触瓷砖后，家人经常看到她在厨房里不停地画形状)”和第三段中“She also wrote in an essay, “My interest was engaged by the subject and I wanted to understand every detail of it. (她还在一篇文章中写道，“我对这个主题很感兴趣，我想了解它的每一个细节)”可知，Rice对瓷砖这个主题很感兴趣，想了解它的每一个细节，可得出因为想探索瓷砖的秘密，所以Rice经常在厨房里画形状。故选B项。 21．细节理解题。由第三段中“Lacking a mathematical background, I developed my own symbol system and in a few months discovered a new type. (由于缺乏数学背景，我开发了自己的符号系统，并在几个月内发现了一种新的类型)”可知，Rice成功地开发了一个系统。故选D项。 22．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，1975年，圣地亚哥一位名叫马乔里·赖斯（Marjorie Rice ）的家庭主妇在《科学美国人》杂志上偶然看到一篇关于瓷砖的专栏文章，因为想探索瓷砖的秘密，Rice经常在厨房里画形状，虽缺乏数学背景（高中只学了一年数学），但她凭借自己对数学的热情潜心研究，开发了自己的符号系统，坚持不懈，发现了以前从未见过的图案，B项“赖斯的努力”符合文意。故选B项。 23．推理判断题。通读全文可知，1975年，圣地亚哥一位名叫马乔里·赖斯（Marjorie Rice ）的家庭主妇在《科学美国人》杂志上偶然看到一篇关于瓷砖的专栏文章，因为想探索瓷砖的秘密，Rice经常在厨房里画形状，虽缺乏数学背景（高中只学了一年数学），但她凭借自己对数学的热情潜心研究，开发了自己的符号系统，坚持不懈，发现了以前从未见过的图案，文章告诉我们“世上无难事，只怕有心人（Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.）”。故选A项。 C Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel. Going car free for a year could save about 2. 6 tons of carbon dioxide, according to a study from the University of British Columbia. How can you stop using a car? Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike. But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year. So, when you do, here are some tips to make your trip more climate-friendly. Driving efficiently can help to reduce emissions. Go easy on the gas and brakes and drive like you have an egg under your foot. Regularly service your car to keep it more efficient. Keeping your tires pumped correctly can re-duce emissions. Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control (定速巡航) on long drives-in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip. Fly often? Taking one fewer long round-trip flight could reduce your personal carbon footprint significantly. If you use public transportation often and fly less, your carbon foot-print might still be relatively sustainable, but if you drive and fly a lot, your emissions will be sigher. If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable proacts, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally. 24．What does the author think of going car free? A．Efficient. B．Costly. C．Impractical. D．Reliable. 25．Which can be adopted to save fuel of your car? A．Maintaining your car properly. B．Using cruise control in the city. C．Stepping hard on the gas and brakes. D．Geiting rid of all the necessary loads. 26．What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Make up for. B．Team up with. C．Set foot in. D．Put up with. 27．Which is the best title for the text? A．How to save fuel when driving cars B．How to reduce your carbon footprint C．Reduce carbon footprint by all means D．Lower carbon footprint in transportation 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．A 27．D 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍如何选择适当的出行方式来降低运输过程中的碳足迹。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段“How can you stop using a car? Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike.(你怎么能停止开车？试着坐火车、公共汽车，或者骑自行车)”和第三段“But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year.(但让我们现实一点。今年你可能需要用车)”可知，作者认为不使用汽车是不切实际的。故选C。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段“Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control (定速巡航) on long drives-in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip.(轮胎气压过低会影响你的燃油经济性。空调和频繁的城市驾驶会使排放上升，所以尽可能减少这些排放。在长途驾驶中使用巡航控制——在大多数情况下，这可以帮助节省汽油。不要给你的车添置旅途中不需要的额外物品)”可知，适当的保养汽车可以节省汽车的燃油，故选A。 26．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable products, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally.(如果你不能避免坐飞机，你可以通过向可持续产品捐款来offset这些影响，比如向农村家庭提供高效炉灶，或者帮助农民环保处理作物废弃物的项目)”可知，这里是在建议用高效节能的方法来抵消因坐飞机而产生的碳足迹，故划线词offset的意思应该是“抵消，弥补”。故选A。 27．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel.(交通运输产生的二氧化碳排放现在被认为是温室气体的首要来源。减少碳足迹的最有效方法之一是重新考虑你旅行的次数和频率)”以及文章主要讲述如何选择适当的出行方式来降低运输过程中的碳足迹。因此推断D项“降低交通运输中的碳足迹”为最佳标题。故选D。 D In the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities and turned the famous into the infamous, overnight. A key feature of social media, however, is its volatility. Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. Short video apps such as TikTok and its Chinese equivalent (等同物) Douyin, took the world by storm. The Telegraph reported that TikTok was ranked 8th on Apple’s App Store in April. And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June, CNBC said. Why are these short videos — which are rarely longer than a few minutes — so popular? Jiang Yige, Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a theory. “Short videos are just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules,” he told CNBC． These videos — apart from being very convenient — are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves, according to Teen Vogue. Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musical, who has over 2 million followers, said, “The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature.” Live streaming (直播) is a feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise. It’s a pretty neat idea: You can watch anyone, anywhere, live. However, China has taken live streaming to a whole new level. In China, more than 100 million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video. Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of the live streaming. Among them is viewers’ ability to interact with unknown names. However, the quick development of social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it causes. Materials shared on these platforms are often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can mislead users one way or another. We use social media all the time, which doesn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds. 28．What does the underlined word “volatility” in Paragraph 2 possibly mean? A．Being changeable. B．Being steady. C．Being promising. D．Being violent. 29．According to Liza Koshy, why are short video apps very popular? A．They are very convenient. B．They help people kill time. C．They provide a sense of community. D．They allow people to express themselves. 30．What do we know about social media? A．The information from social media is totally reliable. B．When it comes to social media, people only know short videos. C．People can’t communicate with each other without social media. D．There is still much room for social media to make improvement. 31．What is the author’s attitude to the quick development of social media? A．Objective. B．Subjective. C．Favourable. D．Disapproving. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．D 31．A 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着信息技术的发展，社交媒体越来越普及，一些短视频平台受到了人们的欢迎，直播行业也得以迅速发展。然而社交媒体极具多变性，我们必须正视其利弊，思考其对我们的影响。 28．词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句“Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. (趋势此起彼伏，消失的速度几乎和出现的速度一样快)”可知，这里描述潮流就像是昙花一现，其出现和消失的速度一样快。由此可推知，社交媒体是易变的。所以volatility意为“易变”。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据第六段“Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musical, who has over 2 million followers, said, “The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature.”(拥有200多万粉丝的美国应用Musical的用户Liza Koshy说：“短视频应用程序用户获得的社区感是另一个吸引人的功能。”)”可知，莉莎·科希认为短视频应用程序非常受欢迎是因为它能让用户拥有社区意识。故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the quick development of social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it causes. Materials shared on these platforms are often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can mislead users one way or another.  (然而，社交媒体的快速发展也可能产生副作用。假新闻是它造成的一个严重问题。在这些平台上共享的材料通常不会进行准确性检查。最基本的内容可能是虚假的，并可能以某种方式误导用户。)”可知，社交媒体的快速发展也可能产生副作用，所以，它还有很大的改进空间。故选D。 31．推理判断题。根据第六段“Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musical, who has over 2 million followers, said, “The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature.”(拥有200多万粉丝的美国应用Musical的用户Liza Koshy说：“短视频应用程序用户获得的社区感是另一个吸引人的功能。”)”可知，作者引用别人的观点来说明社交媒体的益处。再根据最后一段“However, the quick development of social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it causes. Materials shared on these platforms are often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can mislead users one way or another. We use social media all the time, which doesn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds. (然而，社交媒体的快速发展也可能产生副作用。假新闻是它造成的一个严重问题。在这些平台上共享的材料通常不会进行准确性检查。最基本的内容可能是虚假的，并可能以某种方式误导用户。我们一直在使用社交媒体，这并不意味着我们理解它对我们的影响。我们应该注意我们在社交媒体上花费的时间及其对我们思想的影响。)”可知，作者又介绍了社交媒体的弊端，并详细介绍了其可能产生的负面影响。由此可推知，作者对社交媒体的快速发展持客观态度。故选A。 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，共8分） 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。 The First Kite Kites have been around for thousands of years. The first kites were created in China. There are three stories about how the first kite was born. Many people believe that the kite was created when people watched birds fly. They then attempted to make a light object shaped like a bird that could fly high in the wind. The second story goes like this. The kite was born as Chinese children sat below a catalpa tree (梓树). A catalpa tree is known for large leaves and seed pods (荚), which can be over 10 inches long. The catalpa tree’s seed pods have two “wings” that help the seeds move far from the base of the tree. As the leaves and seed pods sailed on an upward wind, the children became inspired to create their own kites. There is a Chinese legend (传说) telling a different story. When a farmer was working in his field one morning, the wind blew his hat off many times. He had to stop to run after his hat. When the farmer went in for lunch, he had an idea that he could tie one end of a thin rope to his hat and the other end around his wrist (手腕). That afternoon, he went to work again. A sudden and strong wind swept the hat off his head and carried it high into the sky. But the farmer no longer needed to run after his hat. At that time, he got the idea of making a kite. The idea for a kite could have been born as people watched birds fly, sat below a catalpa tree or found a way to get back a hat. Like the roots of many inventions, these stories are each inspired by people’s experiences or observations of the natural world. 32．Where were the first kites created? (不多于两个单词) 33．In the first story, what inspired people to make kites? (不多于五个单词) 34．What gave the farmer the idea of making kites? (不多于四个单词) 35．How do people get the ideas for inventions? (不多于九个单词) 【答案】32．In China. 33．When people watched birds fly. 34．The farmer’s flying hat. 35．By people’s experiences or observations of the natural world. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了关于第一只风筝是如何诞生的的三个故事。 32．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“The first kites were created in China. ”（第一只风筝是在中国制造的。）可知，第一只风筝是在中国制造的。故答案为：In China. 33．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Many people believe that the kite was created when people watched birds fly. They then attempted to make a light object shaped like a bird that could fly high in the wind.”（许多人相信风筝是人们看着鸟儿飞翔时创造出来的。然后，他们试图制造一个形状像鸟的轻物体，可以在风中高飞。）可知，在第一个故事中，人们创造风筝是因为人们看到鸟的飞翔，即鸟的飞翔给了人们创造风筝的启发。 故答案为：When people watched birds fly. 34．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“A sudden and strong wind swept the hat off his head and carried it high into the sky. But the farmer no longer needed to run after his hat. At that time, he got the idea of making a kite.”（一阵突如其来的大风把他的帽子从头上吹下来，带到了高高的天空。但是农夫不再需要追逐他的帽子了。那时，他萌生了做风筝的念头。）可知，让农夫萌生造风筝的念头源于风把他的帽子吹起的事件。故答案为：The farmer’s flying hat. 35．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“Like the roots of many inventions, these stories are each inspired by people’s experiences or observations of the natural world.”（就像许多发明的根源一样，这些故事都是受到人们对自然世界的经历或观察的启发。）可知，由于人们对自然世界的经历或观察的启发，促使人们创造出发明。故答案为：By people’s experiences or observations of the natural world. 四、书面表达（共1小题，20分） 36．根据题目所提出的具体要求，在答题卡上写出一篇连贯完整的短文。词数不少于60。 假如你是李华，你们学校将组织学生参观首都博物馆（the Capital Museum）。请参考下面提供的信息，给来自英国的交换生Chris写一封邮件，告诉他活动安排。 邮件的开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Time July 12 Activities listen to a lecture on Chinese history try on traditional Chinese clothes and do a role-play      learn to make a teapot and take it home … Dear Chris,How’s everything going? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris, How’s everything going?

It’s hard to understand these words until I read Tara Westover’s memoir Educated. In her book Educated, Tara was raised in rural Idaho. Her dad believed the world was coming to an end, and that the family should interact with the health and education systems as little as possible. Major medical crises went untreated-her mother never recovered from her brain injury. Because Tara and her six siblings worked at their father’s junkyard， none of them received proper homeschooling. Educated is an amazing story. I found it fascinating how it took studying philosophy and history in school for Tara to trust her own perception of the world. Before stepping foot in a classroom until she was 17, her worldview was entirely shaped by her dad. It wasn’t until she went to Brigham Young University that she realized there were other perspectives on things her dad had presented as fact. Eventually, she earned her doctorate in history from Cambridge. Of the seven Westover siblings, three earned Ph. D．s. I think their childhood experience made them tough and helped them persevere. When you meet Tara, she is never cruel even when mentioning her childhood traumas, including the physical abuse she suffered. I was impressed by how she talks so openly about how ignorant she once was. Educated touches on the divides in our country: rural versus urban, college-educated versus not. Since she’s spent her whole life moving between these two worlds, I asked Tara what she thought. “I worry that education is becoming a stick that some people use to beat other people into submission or becoming something that people feel arrogant (傲慢的) about,” she said. “I think education is really just a process of self-discovery-of developing a sense of self and what you think. I think of it as this great mechanism of connecting and equalizing.” Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated. She’s a talented writer, and I suspect this book isn’t the last. 16．How did Tara’s upbringing shape her worldview? A．It prepared her for a successful academic career. B．It limited her access to education and critical thinking. C．It encouraged her to embrace different perspectives and ideas. D．It instilled in her a strong sense of independence and resilience. 17．Which could best describe Tara according to the text? A．Perseverant and honest. B．Talented and weak. C．Cruel and accomplished. D．Romantic and determined. 18．According to Tara, what should education primarily involve? A．Exploring more of oneself and individual thoughts. B．Following established social rules and regulations C．Strengthening divisions and in equalities among people. D．Obtaining certain rights and privileges to defeat others. 19．What is the text type of this passage? A．Autobiography. B．News report. C．Persuasive essays. D．Book review. B In 1975, a San Diego homemaker named Marjorie Rice came across a column in Scientific American about tiling (瓷砖). There is a problem which has interested mathematicians since ancient Greek times. After Rice’s chance encounter with tiling, family members often saw her in the kitchen constantly drawing shapes. “I thought she was just drawing casually (随意),” her daughter Kathy said. But Rice who took only one year of math in high school, was actually discovering never-before-seen patterns. Born in Florida, she loved learning and particularly her brief exposure to math, but tight budget and social culture prevented her family from even considering that she might attend college. “For Rice, math was a pleasure,” her son David once said. Rice gave one of her sons a subscription to Scientific American partly because she could read it carefully while the children were at school. When she read Gardner’s column about tiling as she later recalled in an interview: “I thought it must be wonderful that someone could discover these beautiful patterns which no one had seen before.” She also wrote in an essay, “My interest was engaged by the subject and I wanted to understand every detail of it. Lacking a mathematical background, I developed my own symbol system and in a few months discovered a new type.” Astonished and delighted, she sent her work to Gardner, who sent it to Doris, a tiling expert at Moravian College. Doris confirmed that Rice’s finding was correct. Later, Rice declined to lecture on her discoveries, citing shyness, but at Doris’s invitation, she attended a university mathematics meeting, where she was introduced to the audience. Rice still said nothing of her achievements to her children, but they eventually found out as the awards mounted. 20．Why did Rice often draw shapes in the kitchen? A．To become a mathematician. B．To explore the secret of tiling. C．To fill her leisure time. D．To show her passion for drawing. 21．What can we learn about Rice from Paragraphs 2 and 3? A．She longed to start a column. B．She was rejected from a college. C．She was good at designing patterns. D．She succeeded in developing a system. 22．What is the text mainly about? A．The magic of math. B．The efforts of Rice. C．The humility of Rice. D．The patterns of tiling. 23．What can we learn from the Rice’s experience? A．Nothing is impossible to a willing mind. B．Actions speak louder than words. C．Every cloud has a silver lining. D．Practice makes perfect. C Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much, and how often, you travel. Going car free for a year could save about 2. 6 tons of carbon dioxide, according to a study from the University of British Columbia. How can you stop using a car? Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike. But let’s be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year. So, when you do, here are some tips to make your trip more climate-friendly. Driving efficiently can help to reduce emissions. Go easy on the gas and brakes and drive like you have an egg under your foot. Regularly service your car to keep it more efficient. Keeping your tires pumped correctly can re-duce emissions. Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control (定速巡航) on long drives-in most cases, this can help to save gas. Don’t weigh your car down with extra things that you don’t need on your trip. Fly often? Taking one fewer long round-trip flight could reduce your personal carbon footprint significantly. If you use public transportation often and fly less, your carbon foot-print might still be relatively sustainable, but if you drive and fly a lot, your emissions will be sigher. If you can’t avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable proacts, such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally. 24．What does the author think of going car free? A．Efficient. B．Costly. C．Impractical. D．Reliable. 25．Which can be adopted to save fuel of your car? A．Maintaining your car properly. B．Using cruise control in the city. C．Stepping hard on the gas and brakes. D．Geiting rid of all the necessary loads. 26．What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Make up for. B．Team up with. C．Set foot in. D．Put up with. 27．Which is the best title for the text? A．How to save fuel when driving cars B．How to reduce your carbon footprint C．Reduce carbon footprint by all means D．Lower carbon footprint in transportation D In the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities and turned the famous into the infamous, overnight. A key feature of social media, however, is its volatility. Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. Short video apps such as TikTok and its Chinese equivalent (等同物) Douyin, took the world by storm. The Telegraph reported that TikTok was ranked 8th on Apple’s App Store in April. And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June, CNBC said. Why are these short videos — which are rarely longer than a few minutes — so popular? Jiang Yige, Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a theory. “Short videos are just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules,” he told CNBC． These videos — apart from being very convenient — are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves, according to Teen Vogue. Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musical, who has over 2 million followers, said, “The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature.” Live streaming (直播) is a feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise. It’s a pretty neat idea: You can watch anyone, anywhere, live. However, China has taken live streaming to a whole new level. In China, more than 100 million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video. Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of the live streaming. Among them is viewers’ ability to interact with unknown names. However, the quick development of social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it causes. Materials shared on these platforms are often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can mislead users one way or another. We use social media all the time, which doesn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds. 28．What does the underlined word “volatility” in Paragraph 2 possibly mean? A．Being changeable. B．Being steady. C．Being promising. D．Being violent. 29．According to Liza Koshy, why are short video apps very popular? A．They are very convenient. B．They help people kill time. C．They provide a sense of community. D．They allow people to express themselves. 30．What do we know about social media? A．The information from social media is totally reliable. B．When it comes to social media, people only know short videos. C．People can’t communicate with each other without social media. D．There is still much room for social media to make improvement. 31．What is the author’s attitude to the quick development of social media? A．Objective. B．Subjective. C．Favourable. D．Disapproving. 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，共8分） 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。 The First Kite Kites have been around for thousands of years. The first kites were created in China.
