In the past, we just had the Internet while now we have the Internet of Things (IoT), which aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of sensors. Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020. Specific Benefits The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours. Some Fears Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having Twitter feeds on refrigerator doors may sound cool at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last year’s smartphone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to the software that’s outdated. A Positive Example Early this year owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car’s touchscreen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required! Perhaps Tesla’s remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon people’s lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT. 38. How do researchers get everything and everyone talking? A. By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors. B. By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data. C. By communicating with them all the time through the IoT. D. By connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses. 39. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. IoT can help people do preventive maintenance and save money. B. IoT can help people monitor energy usage and observe price changes timely. C. IoT can help people adjust their habits and use electrical appliances more wisely. D. IoT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data. 40. Besides its probably ending up being a fashion, what else do critics worry about the IoT? A. People will lose interest in it as quckly as the thrill over last year’s smartphone. B. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not. C. Refrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years. D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly. 41. According to the passage, when owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice, they ___. A. just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update B. were required to go to the nearest 4S store to make some adjustments or repairs C. could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixed D. had to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the company 42. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Craze is disappearing! B. It’s time to change! C. It’s all connected! D. The Internet is coming! B Our teacher, Miss Chevalier was a small woman, with a moon face, fatty fingers and curls that sprang straight up from her head, hence the funny name “Poodle (卷毛狗)”. She taught in our reading club. Sometimes she would look in and ask what we were reading — not to check but to know. That’s what happened the day my club was reading aloud a poem by Henry Longfellow. I guess I was better than the others, for Miss Chevalier asked a while later, “Addie, I was wondering if you would recite the whole poem to the Saturday evening’s club.” She said a famous professor was going to give a lecture about the poet, and a presentation of that poem would be a fresh way to start. She asked me to memorize it. “But that shouldn’t be a problem for a child of your ability,” she added. I’m telling you, my happy feet barely touched the ground all the way home. To me, that was the biggest thing ever and I soon learned the whole poem by heart, well prepared for our first rehearsal. I was desperately nervous when I went to her office the next day. But the good thing was she always had the smile that would make you feel like you just did something right. Halfway through the poem, Miss Chevalier stopped me and asked if I knew what “impetuous” meant. Despite her encouraging smile, I wanted to sink through the floor because I was unsure about its pronunciation as well as its meaning. Miss Chevalier pretended not to have noticed my red face and handed me a dictionary, asking me to read its definition aloud. “Impetuous has two definitions: rushing with great force or violence; acting suddenly, with little thought. ” She asked me which one fitted the poem. I read both definitions over again, trying to figure it out, but Miss Chevalier must have read my mind. “There is no wrong answer,” she said, “I want to know your opinion, Addie.” Hesitantly, I said, “Maybe… both.” She liked that. “One has to be impetuous both ways or they wouldn’t dare to face up to any challenge. Would you call yourself impetuous?” I knew she was asking for an opinion. “My mother thinks being impetuous for girls is improper, anyway.” She said my mom was somewhat right about that. “But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl.” After that, I would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again. 43. Why was Addie asked to recite Longfellow’s poem to the Saturday evening’s club? A. To help with her performance. B. To get the attention of her classmates. C. To set an example for the rest of the class. D. To try a new way to warm up the coming lecture. 44. Why did Addie feel happy on her way home? A. An event was going to happen. B. She was fully ready for her first rehearsal. C. She gained recognition for her performance. D. She memorized the poem sooner than others. 45. What can be learned about Miss Chevalier’s personality from the way she treated Addie? A. Caring and considerate. B. Easygoing and carefree. C. Curious and open-minded. D. Disciplined and strong-willed. 46. How did Miss Chevalier succeed in making Addie truly understand the word “impetuous”? A. By asking Addie to define it in her own way. B. By interpreting the two definitions separately. C. By consulting the dictionary for its definitions. D. By linking its definitions to Addie’s situations. 47. What is the probable reason that Addie would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again? A. She followed her mother’s advice. B. She made up her mind to be a polite girl. C. She was touched by Miss Chevalier’s trust. D. She felt Miss Chevalier’s teaching funny. C Research sometimes proves, with data, what we more or less already know（e. g. Exercise is good for you, and polluted air isn’t）. Still, sometimes our assumptions are incorrect, and scientific findings surprise researchers, along with the rest of us. A recent example is the phenomenon of disappearing lakes in parts of the frozen treeless Arctic（北极的） region. You might think these lakes would be expanding, not disappearing. As climate change warms the region — melting（融化）surface snow and ice as well as the permafrost（永冻层）— there should be more surface water, forming larger lakes and even new ones. Recently, however, scientists have observed not just shrinking（缩小的） lakes but lakes that have completely gone away. Many scientists shared the commonsense expectation that as permafrost melted, lakes would at first expand with meltwater flowing into them. Eventually, researchers made a prediction that progressive warming during the 21st and 22nd centuries would dry out the Arctic, and lakes would begin to shrink. But now it looks as if Arctic lakes are disappearing a century sooner than predicted. A case in point is that some large, age-old lakes shrank dramatically in what appears to have been a matter of months. Scientists have labeled this phenomenon “disastrous lake loss” What caused this? The frozen solid ground actually contains bits of rock, mineral and organic matter, leaving spaces in between. And because these spaces are filled with solid ice, liquid water cannot readily get inside, but it can when the permafrost melts, allowing more water to get through. Soon after that, around 192 lakes in northwestern Alaska are gone from sight. Why did scientists miss this? One probable reason is that most climate models assume that the melting of permafrost is driven only by warming air. New evidence suggests, however, that rainfall — particularly increasing autumn rain — is now contributing significantly to permafrost loss. The rainfall carries heat into the ground. Yet none of the existing models includes such processes. That is a good example of why — no matter how complex our models are or may one day be — we need direct observation of the natural world. 48. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. General knowledge can at times turn out to be true. B. Commonsense assumptions can sometimes prove wrong. C. Research findings should be built on popular assumptions. D. Scientific research is inspired by an unknown phenomenon. 49. Contrary to the general expectation, climate change has caused ________. A. a rapid rise of water surface B. the permafrost to melt faster C. many Arctic lakes to grow larger D. the disappearance of many Arctic lakes 50. The disastrous climatic impacts on the Arctic region have been ________. A. proved with emerging lakes B. underestimated by scientists C. well predicted by researchers D. shown elsewhere in the world 51. Why is the frozen Arctic ground hard for water to get through? A. Because of the solid ice within it. B. Because of its unique composition. C. Because it is far away from the waters. D. Because snow rarely melts on frozen ground. 52. What lesson can we learn from the passage? A. Direct observation is a must for scientific research. B. Scientific research is guaranteed by sufficient lab facilities. C. New evidence should be found to back up research findings. D. Scientific predictions should be mostly based on research models. D Staring at the bookcases in my study, packed with so many great books that had remained unread, I heard a loud voice in my head — “Shame on you! How can you leave these masterpieces unread?” The first book I picked up was Montaigne's Essays. To my surprise I discovered in the margins (页边空白) what clearly was my own faded hand-writing. So I was actually reading it again, but what I was rereading seemed entirely new. I also found sentences underlined. Only this time I wondered: Why did I underline this sentence? It's the next one that is important! Clearly, my way of reading the text had shifted, and I myself had changed over the years. This raised the larger question of rereading. It comes in many forms. There’s voluntary rereading, the result of a willful decision to revisit a book one has admired, or a book that has left one with some unanswered questions. This kind of planned revisit could also be for confirming certain details in the text, or for checking on the moves of a given character. A devoted teacher might also wish to refresh his closeness to a work, and thus avoid teaching through the same old written notes with soporific (让人瞌睡的) effects. Contrarily, there’s involuntary rereading. The original reading was either forgotten or so totally absorbed that the new chance encounter with the text produced surprise and astonishment. My reaction to the renewed reading no longer corresponded to the original experience, and I was no longer sure that I recognized myself as the same reader. Then there are what one might call subconscious (潜意识的) rereadings, those that occur without the specific act of reading, much as the memory of a tune can keep coming back to the mind without its actually being heard again. This form of remembered contact with a book can accompany us during a lifetime and continue to strengthen and shape us. Much in the same manner, we may over the years recite to ourselves poems learnt by heart long ago, which have become part of our self-recognition. All of these ways of reading are valuable. Renewed contact with a novel or a poem can activate the search for a better knowledge of the self. The new reading, a form of revision, uncovers the change in us. The newness is not in the text. It is we who have evolved. In the process of rereading, our outlook has also been significantly changed. Rereading makes it possible for us to see the world around us, ourselves included, in a new light. 53. What did the author find when reading Montaigne’s Essays? A. He still couldn't understand it. B. He had made notes in it. C. It was a brand new copy. D. It was his favorite work. 54. According to the author, what could be a purpose of voluntary rereading? A. To improve the quality of teaching. B. To learn from admirable characters. C. To collect details for writing novels. D. To help making important decisions. 55. According to Paragraph 4, involuntary rereading can bring about? A. Unexpected reading experience. B. Total concentration on new books. C. Changed preferences for books. D. Enhanced reading skills. 56. What can be learnt about subconscious rereading? A. It prevents memory from fading. B. It helps make who we are. C. It involves actual reading. D. It works best with poetry and music. 57. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Accessing Masterpieces through Rereading B. Rereading: Voluntary or Involuntary? C. Rereading: Pursuit of Truth D. Transformative Power of Rereading 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题； 每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 Studies show teaching children how to cook at an early age helps with reading comprehension and fine motor ability, in addition to learning about nutrition and food safety. In 2015 Stephanie Drewry was looking for a cooking summer camp for her three children. To her dismay, she quickly realized such a camp didn’t exist. “I have my degree in education, but I had been staying home with my kids, ” Drewry says. “I love working with kids, so I just decided to take a spare bedroom and turn it into a one-room cooking school called Sprouts Cooking School. ” The school grew in popularity so quickly that Drewry realized she would need more space outside her home for the classes. In 2017 she moved Sprouts into a 1,400-square-foot storefront (临街店面) in Carmel, Indiana. As demand grew, Drewry opened another Sprouts in the same area in 2022. “Our classrooms are built with kids in mind. The worktops (操作台) in the classrooms are slightly lower than normal to fit in with their height,” Drewry says. “All of the cooking facilities are domestic ones. I wanted to have them feel like cooking in their own home.” The school offers activities targeted at kids aged 3 to 13. Younger kids might make cookies while older ones are cooking soup and meatballs. There are birthday parties and summer camps as well. The fun part of the activities is that the kids can eat or take home whatever they make. They can also enjoy themselves in the themed classes like Harry Potter or Winter Wonder-land Baking. With all these activities, the school is extremely popular. Teaching kids, especially those picky eaters, to cook helps a lot because they’re more willing to eat something made by themselves. More importantly, it is also about releasing children into the world with a life skill they’ll need as an adult when they’re no longer in their parents’ care. 58.

In the past, we just had the Internet while now we have the Internet of Things (IoT), which aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of sensors. Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020. Specific Benefits The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours. Some Fears Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having Twitter feeds on refrigerator doors may sound cool at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last year’s smartphone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to the software that’s outdated. A Positive Example Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car’s touchscreen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required! Perhaps Tesla’s remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, people’s lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT. 38. How do researchers get everything and everyone talking? A. By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors. B. By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data. C. By communicating with them all the time through the IoT. D. By connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses. 39. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. IoT can help people do preventive maintenance and save money. B. IoT can help people monitor energy usage and observe price changes timely. C. IoT can help people adjust their habits and use electrical appliances more wisely. D. IoT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data. 40. Besides its probably ending up being a fashion, what else do critics worry about the IoT? A. People will lose interest in it as quckly as the thrill over last year’s smartphone. B. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not. C. Refrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years. D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly. 41. According to the passage, when owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice, they ___. A. just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update B. were required to go to the nearest 4S store to make some adjustments or repairs C. could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixed D. had to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the company 42. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Craze is disappearing! B. It’s time to change! C It’s all connected! D. The Internet is coming! 【答案】38. D 39. D 40. B 41. A 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。随着计算机科学的快速发展，互联网的变化超出了我们的预期。本文主要介绍了物联网及其好处，同时也介绍了批评者们的担心。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. (将传感器连接到“事物”上，如奶牛、汽车和冰箱，然后为它们分配唯一的IP地址，使它们能够与互联网“对话”。)”可知，研究人员过将传感器与事物连接，并为它们指定唯一的IP地址，从而让它们说话。故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据Specific Benefits部分中的“Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours. (飞机制造商将能够持续跟踪飞机零件的状况，从而进行预防性维护，避免昂贵的停机时间。消费者可以在家中安装智能电表，实时监测能源使用情况和观察能源价格变化。这将使人们能够调整自己的习惯，在价格较低的时间使用电器。)”可知，物联网可以帮助人们进行预防性维护并节省资金，可以帮助人们监控能源使用情况，及时观察价格变化，可以帮助人们调整习惯，更明智地使用电器。D项“IoT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data. (物联网可以帮助人们调查事物并更新许多重要数据。)”说法不对。故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据Some Fears部分中的“Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. (其他批评人士怀疑，生产互联网连接电器的公司是否会提供长期的软件更新。)”可知，批评人士们还担心生产互联网连接电器的公司是否会提供长期的软件更新。故选B。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据A Positive Example部分中的“Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air” wireless update. (今年年初，特斯拉Model S电动汽车的车主收到了召回通知，提醒他们需要修理充电插头。令人惊讶的是，当该公司进行“空中”无线更新时，Model S的车主们都在一旁歇着。)”可知，当特斯拉Model S电动汽车正在通过无线更新进行维护时，车主们只是在车内等待。故选A。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的首尾句“With the rapid development of computer science, the Internet is changing quickly out of our expectations. In the past, we just had the Internet while now we have the Internet of Things (IoT), which aims to get everything and everyone talking.…Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020. (随着计算机科学的快速发展，互联网的变化超出了我们的预期。过去，我们只有互联网，而现在我们有物联网（IoT），它旨在让一切和每个人都能说话……到2020年，将有500亿互联网连接设备和对象通过数据发送。)”可知，本文主要讲的是计算机科学快速发展，人们用传感器将事物连接起来，使它们能够“对话”。C项“It’s all connected! (万物都是相连的！)”最能概括本文主旨。故选C。 B Our teacher, Miss Chevalier was a small woman, with a moon face, fatty fingers and curls that sprang straight up from her head, hence the funny name “Poodle (卷毛狗)”. She taught in our reading club. Sometimes she would look in and ask what we were reading — not to check but to know. That’s what happened the day my club was reading aloud a poem by Henry Longfellow. I guess I was better than the others, for Miss Chevalier asked a while later, “Addie, I was wondering if you would recite the whole poem to the Saturday evening’s club.” She said a famous professor was going to give a lecture about the poet, and a presentation of that poem would be a fresh way to start. She asked me to memorize it. “But that shouldn’t be a problem for a child of your ability,” she added. I’m telling you, my happy feet barely touched the ground all the way home. To me, that was the biggest thing ever and I soon learned the whole poem by heart, well prepared for our first rehearsal. I was desperately nervous when I went to her office the next day. But the good thing was she always had the smile that would make you feel like you just did something right. Halfway through the poem, Miss Chevalier stopped me and asked if I knew what “impetuous” meant. Despite her encouraging smile, I wanted to sink through the floor because I was unsure about its pronunciation as well as its meaning. Miss Chevalier pretended not to have noticed my red face and handed me a dictionary, asking me to read its definition aloud. “Impetuous has two definitions: rushing with great force or violence; acting suddenly, with little thought. ” She asked me which one fitted the poem. I read both definitions over again, trying to figure it out, but Miss Chevalier must have read my mind. “There is no wrong answer,” she said, “I want to know your opinion, Addie.” Hesitantly, I said, “Maybe… both.” She liked that. “One has to be impetuous both ways or they wouldn’t dare to face up to any challenge. Would you call yourself impetuous?” I knew she was asking for an opinion. “My mother thinks being impetuous for girls is improper, anyway.” She said my mom was somewhat right about that. “But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl.” After that, I would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again. 43. Why was Addie asked to recite Longfellow’s poem to the Saturday evening’s club? A. To help with her performance. B. To get the attention of her classmates. C. To set an example for the rest of the class. D. To try a new way to warm up the coming lecture. 44. Why did Addie feel happy on her way home? A. An event was going to happen. B. She was fully ready for her first rehearsal. C. She gained recognition for her performance. D. She memorized the poem sooner than others. 45. What can be learned about Miss Chevalier’s personality from the way she treated Addie? A. Caring and considerate. B. Easygoing and carefree. C. Curious and open-minded. D. Disciplined and strong-willed. 46. How did Miss Chevalier succeed in making Addie truly understand the word “impetuous”? A. By asking Addie to define it in her own way. B. By interpreting the two definitions separately. C. By consulting the dictionary for its definitions. D. By linking its definitions to Addie’s situations. 47. What is the probable reason that Addie would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again? A. She followed her mother’s advice. B. She made up her mind to be a polite girl. C. She was touched by Miss Chevalier’s trust. D. She felt Miss Chevalier’s teaching funny. 【答案】43. D 44. C 45. A 46. D 47. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了老师希望作者以诗歌朗诵的形式为周六晚上的演讲活动来暖场，排练时作者有一个词不懂，老师耐心引导作者理解，使作者逐渐领悟该词词义，作者很感动。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中“She said a famous professor was going to give a lecture about the poet, and a presentation of that poem would be a fresh way to start. (她说一位著名的教授要给这位诗人做讲座，而这首诗的演讲将是一个新的开始)”可知，老师谢瓦利埃小姐希望作者以诗歌朗诵的形式为周六晚上的演讲活动来暖场，D项“尝试一种新的方式来为即将到来的讲座热身”符合题意。故选D项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段中““But that shouldn’t be a problem for a child of your ability,” she added. (“但对于你这种能力的孩子来说，这应该不是问题，”她补充道)”可知，老师信任作者的朗诵能力，她感到非常高兴，C项“她的表现获得了认可”符合题意。故选C项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中“But the good thing was she always had the smile that would make you feel like you just did something right. (但好的是，她总是面带微笑，让你觉得你做得对)”和第五段中“Despite her encouraging smile, I wanted to sink through the floor because I was unsure about its pronunciation as well as its meaning. Miss Chevalier pretended not to have noticed my red face and handed me a dictionary, asking me to read its definition aloud. (尽管她微笑着鼓励我，但我还是想沉下去，因为我不确定它的发音和含义。谢瓦利埃小姐假装没有注意到我的脸红，递给我一本词典，让我大声朗读它的定义)”可知，老师对作者很关爱和耐心指导。由此推知，老师是一个关心人和体贴的人。故选A项。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。由第六段中““There is no wrong answer,” she said, “I want to know your opinion, Addie.”(“没有错误的答案，”她说，“我想知道你的意见，艾迪)”，第七段中“One has to be impetuous both ways or they wouldn’t dare to face up to any challenge. Would you call yourself impetuous? (一个人必须左右都冲动，否则他们不敢面对任何挑战。你会说自己冲动吗？)”， 第八段中“My mother thinks being impetuous for girls is improper, anyway. (不管怎样，我妈妈认为对女孩冲动是不合适的)” 和第九段“She said my mom was somewhat right about that. “But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl.”(她说我妈妈说得对。“但女孩们也应该明智地在需要时接受挑战。我相信你就是这样一个女孩。”)”可知，通过教师与作者对话的叙述，教师通过一系列问题把作者的成长背景和“impetuous”词义联系起来，使作者逐渐领悟该词词义，D项“把它的定义与艾迪的情况联系起来”符合题意。故选D项。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。由第九段中“But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl. (但女孩们也应该明智地在需要时接受挑战。我相信你就是这样一个女孩)”可推知，老师的信任令作者感动，所以作者再也不会称谢瓦利埃小姐为“卷毛狗”。故选C项。 C Research sometimes proves, with data, what we more or less already know（e. g. Exercise is good for you, and polluted air isn’t）. Still, sometimes our assumptions are incorrect, and scientific findings surprise researchers, along with the rest of us. A recent example is the phenomenon of disappearing lakes in parts of the frozen treeless Arctic（北极的） region. You might think these lakes would be expanding, not disappearing. As climate change warms the region — melting（融化）surface snow and ice as well as the permafrost（永冻层）— there should be more surface water, forming larger lakes and even new ones. Recently, however, scientists have observed not just shrinking（缩小的） lakes but lakes that have completely gone away. Many scientists shared the commonsense expectation that as permafrost melted, lakes would at first expand with meltwater flowing into them. Eventually, researchers made a prediction that progressive warming during the 21st and 22nd centuries would dry out the Arctic, and lakes would begin to shrink. But now it looks as if Arctic lakes are disappearing a century sooner than predicted. A case in point is that some large, age-old lakes shrank dramatically in what appears to have been a matter of months. Scientists have labeled this phenomenon “disastrous lake loss” What caused this? The frozen solid ground actually contains bits of rock, mineral and organic matter, leaving spaces in between. And because these spaces are filled with solid ice, liquid water cannot readily get inside, but it can when the permafrost melts, allowing more water to get through. Soon after that, around 192 lakes in northwestern Alaska are gone from sight. Why did scientists miss this? One probable reason is that most climate models assume that the melting of permafrost is driven only by warming air. New evidence suggests, however, that rainfall — particularly increasing autumn rain — is now contributing significantly to permafrost loss. The rainfall carries heat into the ground. Yet none of the existing models includes such processes. That is a good example of why — no matter how complex our models are or may one day be — we need direct observation of the natural world. 48. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. General knowledge can at times turn out to be true. B. Commonsense assumptions can sometimes prove wrong. C. Research findings should be built on popular assumptions. D. Scientific research is inspired by an unknown phenomenon. 49. Contrary to the general expectation, climate change has caused ________. A. a rapid rise of water surface B. the permafrost to melt faster C. many Arctic lakes to grow larger D. the disappearance of many Arctic lakes 50. The disastrous climatic impacts on the Arctic region have been ________. A. proved with emerging lakes B. underestimated by scientists C. well predicted by researchers D. shown elsewhere in the world 51. Why is the frozen Arctic ground hard for water to get through? A. Because of the solid ice within it. B. Because of its unique composition. C. Because it is far away from the waters. D. Because snow rarely melts on frozen ground. 52. What lesson can we learn from the passage? A. Direct observation is a must for scientific research. B. Scientific research is guaranteed by sufficient lab facilities. C. New evidence should be found to back up research findings. D. Scientific predictions should be mostly based on research models. 【答案】48. B 49. D 50. B 51. A 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章通过对在冰冻无树的北极地区部分湖泊消失的现象这一实例的分析，表明了直接观察自然世界对科学研究是必要的。 【48题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Research sometimes proves, with data, what we more or less already know.(研究有时会用数据证明我们或多或少已经知道的事情。)”和“Still, sometimes our assumptions are incorrect, and scientific findings surprise researchers, along with the rest of us.(尽管如此，有时我们的假设是不正确的，科学发现让研究人员和我们其他人感到惊讶。)”可知，该段表明有时一些常识性的假设可能被证明是错误的。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“You might think these lakes would be expanding, not disappearing.(你可能会认为这些湖泊会扩大，而不是消失。)”和“Recently, however, scientists have observed not just shrinking（缩小的） lakes but lakes that have completely gone away.(然而，最近科学家们不仅观察到湖泊在萎缩，而且还观察到湖泊已经完全消失。)”可知，与人们的普遍预期相反，气候变化已经引起了许多北极湖泊的消失。故选D。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But now it looks as if Arctic lakes are disappearing a century sooner than predicted.(但现在看来，北极湖泊的消失似乎比预测的要早一个世纪。)”可知，对比之前科学家的预测，一些北极湖泊似乎消失得要快很多，可见灾难性的气候对北极地区的影响一直被科学家低估了。故选B。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“And because these spaces are filled with solid ice, liquid water cannot readily get inside,(因为这些空间充满了固体冰，液态水不容易进入，)”可知，因为冻土层中的空间里充满了坚实的冰，导致液体水无法进入。故选A。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“That is a good example of why — no matter how complex our models are or may one day be — we need direct observation of the natural world.(这是一个很好的例子——说明为什么不管我们的例子有多复杂，或者有一天可能会复杂——我们都需要直接观察自然世界。)”可知，文章通过对在冰冻无树的北极地区部分湖泊消失的现象这一实例的分析，让我们学到了直接观察自然世界对科学研究是必要的。故选A。 D Staring at the bookcases in my study, packed with so many great books that had remained unread, I heard a loud voice in my head — “Shame on you! How can you leave these masterpieces unread?” The first book I picked up was Montaigne's Essays. To my surprise I discovered in the margins (页边空白) what clearly was my own faded hand-writing. So I was actually reading it again, but what I was rereading seemed entirely new. I also found sentences underlined. Only this time I wondered: Why did I underline this sentence? It's the next one that is important! Clearly, my way of reading the text had shifted, and I myself had changed over the years. This raised the larger question of rereading. It comes in many forms. There’s voluntary rereading, the result of a willful decision to revisit a book one has admired, or a book that has left one with some unanswered questions. This kind of planned revisit could also be for confirming certain details in the text, or for checking on the moves of a given character. A devoted teacher might also wish to refresh his closeness to a work, and thus avoid teaching through the same old written notes with soporific (让人瞌睡的) effects. Contrarily, there’s involuntary rereading. The original reading was either forgotten or so totally absorbed that the new chance encounter with the text produced surprise and astonishment. My reaction to the renewed reading no longer corresponded to the original experience, and I was no longer sure that I recognized myself as the same reader. Then there are what one might call subconscious (潜意识的) rereadings, those that occur without the specific act of reading, much as the memory of a tune can keep coming back to the mind without its actually being heard again. This form of remembered contact with a book can accompany us during a lifetime and continue to strengthen and shape us. Much in the same manner, we may over the years recite to ourselves poems learnt by heart long ago, which have become part of our self-recognition. All of these ways of reading are valuable. Renewed contact with a novel or a poem can activate the search for a better knowledge of the self. The new reading, a form of revision, uncovers the change in us. The newness is not in the text. It is we who have evolved. In the process of rereading, our outlook has also been significantly changed. Rereading makes it possible for us to see the world around us, ourselves included, in a new light. 53. What did the author find when reading Montaigne’s Essays? A. He still couldn't understand it. B. He had made notes in it. C. It was a brand new copy. D. It was his favorite work. 54. According to the author, what could be a purpose of voluntary rereading? A. To improve the quality of teaching. B. To learn from admirable characters. C. To collect details for writing novels. D. To help making important decisions. 55. According to Paragraph 4, involuntary rereading can bring about? A. Unexpected reading experience. B. Total concentration on new books. C. Changed preferences for books. D. Enhanced reading skills. 56. What can be learnt about subconscious rereading? A. It prevents memory from fading. B. It helps make who we are. C. It involves actual reading. D. It works best with poetry and music. 57. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Accessing Masterpieces through Rereading B. Rereading: Voluntary or Involuntary? C. Rereading: Pursuit of Truth D. Transformative Power of Rereading 【答案】53. B 54. A 55. A 56. B 57. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自己对重新阅读的感悟和想法，认为重新阅读能更好地了解自我，能让我们以新的眼光来看待周围的世界，包括自己。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The first book I picked up was Montaigne's Essays. To my surprise I discovered in the margins (页边空白) what clearly was my own faded hand-writing.(我拿起的第一本书就是Montaigne的散文。令我惊讶的是，我在页边空白处发现了明显是我自己褪色的笔记。)”可知，作者惊讶地发现书的空白处是自己之前的笔记，故选B。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A devoted teacher might also wish to refresh his closeness to a work, and thus avoid teaching through the same old written notes with soporific (让人瞌睡的) effects.(一位敬业的教师可能也希望重新建立与工作的亲密关系，因此避免通过具有催眠效果的相同的旧笔记来进行教学。)”可知，教师通过主动再读更新内容，提高教学质量是主动再读的目的之一，故选A。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Contrarily, there’s involuntary rereading. The original reading was either forgotten or so totally absorbed that the new chance encounter with the text produced surprise and astonishment. My reaction to the renewed reading no longer corresponded to the original experience, and I was no longer sure that I recognized myself as the same reader. (相反，有一种非主动再读。原来的阅读要么被遗忘，要么完全被吸收，以至于与文本的新的偶遇产生了惊讶和震惊。我对重新阅读的反应不再符合最初的体验，我也不再确定我是否认出自己是同一个读者。)”可知，非主动再读能让读者感到与最初体验不符合的反应，因此能带来意料之外的阅读体验，故选A。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“This form of remembered contact with a book can accompany us during a lifetime and continue to strengthen and shape us. Much in the same manner, we may over the years recite to ourselves poems learnt by heart long ago, which have become part of our self-recognition.(这种与书的记忆联系可以伴随我们一生，并继续加强和塑造我们。同样地，多年来，我们可能会背诵很久以前背下来的诗，这些诗已经成为我们认知的一部分。)”可知，潜意识再读有助于进一步塑造自我，是我们认知的一部分，故选B。 【57题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Rereading makes it possible for us to see the world around us, ourselves included, in a new light.(重新阅读使我们能够以新的眼光看待周围的世界，包括我们自己。)”和后文对重新阅读的介绍可知，文章主要论述了重新阅读的重要意义，即再读具有提升读者对作品、自我及世界认知的力量，故D项 “Transformative Power of Rereading(重新阅读的变革力量)” 符合文章标题，故选D。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题； 每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 Studies show teaching children how to cook at an early age helps with reading comprehension and fine motor ability, in addition to learning about nutrition and food safety. In 2015 Stephanie Drewry was looking for a cooking summer camp for her three children. To her dismay, she quickly realized such a camp didn’t exist. “I have my degree in education, but I had been staying home with my kids, ” Drewry says. “I love working with kids, so I just decided to take a spare bedroom and turn it into a one-room cooking school called Sprouts Cooking School. ” The school grew in popularity so quickly that Drewry realized she would need more space outside her home for the classes. In 2017 she moved Sprouts into a 1,400-square-foot storefront (临街店面) in Carmel, Indiana. As demand grew, Drewry opened another Sprouts in the same area in 2022. “Our classrooms are built with kids in mind. The worktops (操作台) in the classrooms are slightly lower than normal to fit in with their height,” Drewry says. “All of the cooking facilities are domestic ones. I wanted to have them feel like cooking in their own home.” The school offers activities targeted at kids aged 3 to 13. Younger kids might make cookies while older ones are cooking soup and meatballs. There are birthday parties and summer camps as well. The fun part of the activities is that the kids can eat or take home whatever they make. They can also enjoy themselves in the themed classes like Harry Potter or Winter Wonder-land Baking. With all these activities, the school is extremely popular. Teaching kids, especially those picky eaters, to cook helps a lot because they’re more willing to eat something made by themselves. More importantly, it is also about releasing children into the world with a life skill they’ll need as an adult when they’re no longer in their parents’ care. 58. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 1? (1 word) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 59.
