They planned to work through the winter, then go home in May 2020. But their ship could not come because of COVID-19 shutdowns. For fourteen months, they lived in a small cabin on an icy island near the North Poles. Sometimes, hurricane-force winds forced freezing air through the cabin’s slats. Once, wind ripped the door open. Sunniva and Hilde couldn’t close it until the storm ended! Between storms, silence settled on the cabin. Then, they could hear the crunch-crunch-crunch of polar bears walking in the snow. Their days started at 7 am and ended after midnight. Each morning, they wore down-stuffed jackets and pants as they waited for the wood-burning stove to heat the cabin. They cut pieces of freshwater ice to melt for drinking, cooking and bathing. For the stove, they gathered driftwood. They cooked their meals, including pizza! These tasks used up large stretches of each day. They also kept in touch with schools and other groups. They wrote blog entries and answered e-mails. For fun, they danced to music, exercised, practiced yoga and read. “We are efficient here,” Sunniva wrote. “We have a routine, habits, and systems. We have time for what matters most living safely while making a contribution to our understanding of a changing world.” They conducted lots of experiments. They gathered data on climate change, using a drone (无人机) to measure sea-ice temperatures. They observed wildlife and tested new technologies, including an electric snowmobile. To stay four extra months, they had to eat smaller amounts of food so they wouldn’t run out. “It was difficult being here, so far away from everything,” Sunniva wrote. “Food, shelter, and warmth are often taken for granted until you are on your own.” But, they wrote, “We have packed our patience, our smiles, and good spirits.” And they enjoyed the adventure, finding ordinary miracles every day. 4. What can we learn about the two scientists on Spitsbergen? A. They lived a boring life there. B. They could always keep the door closed. C. They brought drinking water with them. D. They stayed in contact with other groups. 5. What did Sunniva and Hilde do according to Paragraph 3? A. They watched the wildlife carefully. B. They invented an electric snowmobile. C. They conducted experiments on drones. D. They collected data of new technologies. 6. Which of the following best describes these two scientists? A. Generous. B. Optimistic. C. Sensitive. D. Honest. 7. What does the author want to convey through the two scientists’ story? A. Well begun, half done. B. It’s easier said than done. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。2019年8月，两位公民科学家Sunniva Sorby和Hilde FalunStrom登上了挪威斯瓦尔巴群岛的斯匹次卑尔根岛。他们计划整个冬天都在工作，然后在2020年5月回家。但由于COVID-19的关闭，他们的船不能来。文章描述了两位科学家在岛上的生活以及他们面对困难的良好心态。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They also kept in touch with schools and other groups.(他们还与学校和其他团体保持联系)”可知，斯匹次卑尔根岛上的两位科学家与其他团体保持联系。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They observed wildlife and tested new technologies, including an electric snowmobile.(他们观察野生动物，测试新技术，包括电动雪地车)”可知，Sunniva和Hilde仔细观察野生动物。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But, they wrote, “We have packed our patience, our smiles, and good spirits.” And they enjoyed the adventure, finding ordinary miracles every day.(但是，他们写道：“我们已经带上了耐心、微笑和良好的精神。”他们喜欢冒险，每天都能发现平凡的奇迹)”可推知，两位科学家非常乐观。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段“But, they wrote, “We have packed our patience, our smiles, and good spirits.” And they enjoyed the adventure, finding ordinary miracles every day.(但是，他们写道：“我们已经带上了耐心、微笑和良好的精神。”他们喜欢冒险，每天都能发现平凡的奇迹)”结合全文讲述了两位科学家在北极科考的时候经历了重重困难，但他们始终保持了良好的心态最终守得云开见月明。故作者想通过这两位科学家的故事传达黑暗中总有光明。故选C。 C Favored by many internet influencers, the city of Zibo, once a sleepy industrial city, has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms. The topic Zibo “barbecue” on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, was played 4.96 billion times since the city stormed the Internet for over a month. On 29 April, Zibo Railway Station saw a record 87,000 train trips to and from the station, according to Chinese news website Caixin. Local authorities in Zibo have been quick to respond to the sudden flow of visitors. A barbecue zone that can accommodate 10,000 people, featuring live band performances, was built overnight. Volunteers have been dispatched to the railway station to offer advice and recommendations to tourists. Designated (指定的) buses and trains bring tourists to and from the hottest barbecue spots. The government has even threatened to punish profiteering hotels who raise prices by more than 50% . What makes Zibo barbecue so special is that it does offer a distinctive (独特的) dining experience. The skewers (烤串) are 70-80 percent cooked before they are brought to the table, where diners can finish cooking them on their own stoves, offering an immersive dining experience. Zibo’s low prices are also appealing. Many college students in Shandong have made concrete plans to enjoy Zibo barbecue at the least cost, and traveling back and forth by train for only 200 yuan ($29.1). So what better way to attract adventurous, hungry college students with a tight budget other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full for only 50 yuan!” The locals seem happy enough about the arrival of visitors and shy away from hot spots to make space for outsiders, saying they are proud that their hometown has gained nationwide fame. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The history of Zibo. B. The influence of social media. C. The newfound popularity of Zibo. D. The crowdedness of Zibo Railway Station. 9. What makes Zibo barbecue attractive to college students? A. Unique dining experience. B. Convenient transportation. C. Wonderful performances. D. Affordable prices. 10. What is the local people’s attitude to the arrival of tourists? A. Favorable. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote an industrial city. B. To introduce barbecue in Zibo. C. To explain how to attract tourists. D. To show the popularity of barbecue. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要报道了淄博烧烤在网上走红的事情。 【详解】1.主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Favored by many internet influencers, the city of Zibo, once a sleepy industrial city, has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms. (淄博市曾经是一座沉睡的工业城市，受到许多网红的青睐，现已在中国社交媒体平台上走红。)”可知，第一段主要介绍了淄博最近在网上走红，变得有名了，故选C。 2.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Zibo’s low prices are also appealing. Many college students in Shandong have made concrete plans to enjoy Zibo barbecue at the least cost, and traveling back and forth by train for only 200 yuan ($29.1).(淄博的低价格也颇具吸引力。山东的许多大学生都制定了具体的计划，以最低的成本享受淄博烧烤，坐火车来回只需200元（29.1美元）。)”可知，淄博烧烤对于大学生有吸引力主要是因为其价格低，故选D。 3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The locals seem happy enough about the arrival of visitors and shy away from hot spots to make space for outsiders, saying they are proud that their hometown has gained nationwide fame.(当地人似乎对游客的到来感到很高兴，并避开热门景点，为外来者腾出空间，并表示他们为自己的家乡赢得全国声誉感到自豪。)”可推知，淄博当地人对游客的到来持赞成态度，故选A。 4.推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Favored by many internet influencers, the city of Zibo, once a sleepy industrial city, has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms. The topic Zibo “barbecue” on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, was played 4.96 billion times since the city stormed the Internet for over a month. On 29 April, Zibo Railway Station saw a record 87,000 train trips to and from the station, according to Chinese news website Caixin.(曾经是一座沉睡的工业城市的淄博，受到许多网红的青睐，在中国的社交媒体平台上迅速走红。自从淄博在互联网上狂轰滥炸一个多月以来，抖音上的“烧烤”这个话题已经被播放了49.6亿次。据中国新闻网站财新网报道，4月29日，淄博高铁往返火车站的次数达到创纪录的8.7万次。)”可知，文章主要介绍了淄博烧烤在网上走红的事情，由此可推知，文章的写作目的是介绍淄博的烧烤，故选B。 D People are motivated to try a vegetarian (素食的) diet for different reasons — from ethical and religious, to potential health and environmental benefits. But many people have a hard time sticking to it. In fact studies show many self-reported vegetarians actually do consume some animal products. “A lot of people who want to be vegetarian are perhaps not able to,” says Dr. Nabeel Yaseen, of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “We wanted to know if genetics (遗传学) is part of the reason,” he says. Yaseen and his team members compared the DNA of about 330,000 people. They found 34 genes that may play a role in sticking to a strict vegetarian diet. And they identified 3 genes that are more tightly linked to the feature. “What we can say is that these genes (基因) have something to do with vegetarianism,” Yaseen says. “Perhaps vegetarians have different variants of these genes that make them able to choose a strict vegetarian diet,” he explains. The study is published in PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed science journal. Interpreting the genetic role is not exactly an easy task to finish. Humans have thousands of genes and there are millions of tiny variations (变异) in DNA building blocks, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), where you can see differences between individuals. To identify SNPs that are connected with the particular feature of sticking to a vegetarian diet, Yaseen and his workmates did a genome-wide connection study. When they found a SNP connected with vegetarianism, they looked to see the genes around it in the same area. Of the three genes most strongly connected with vegetarianism, the authors say two of them (known as NPC1 and RMC1) have important functions in lipid- or fat- metabolism. The study can’t answer exactly how genetic differences could shape or influence vegetarians, but Dr. Yaseen has some ideas. His research has disclosed many unknown aspects of genetics. 12. Why did Dr. Nabeel Yaseen research vegetarians? A. To understand health benefits of vegetarianism. B. To investigate genetics in vegetarian devotion. C. To study environmental impact of vegetarianism. D. To explore the cultural aspects of vegetarianism. 13. What can we learn about genes from Yaseen’s study? A. They have the same variations. B. They determine vegetarian fat. C. They may influence vegetarianism. D. They play no role in dietary choices. 14. What is the author’s attitude to Yaseen’s findings? A. Critical. B. Appreciative. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful. 15. What is the best title for the text? A The Benefits of Vegetarianism B The Diet Research on Vegetarians C. Challenges in Maintaining a Vegetarian Diet D. The Role of Genetics in Vegetarian Devotion 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有些人想尝试素食主义，但是往往无法坚持，一项研究显示，有些基因可能与能否坚持严格素食饮食有关，虽然该研究目前无法准确解释基因与素食者之间的关联，但是它揭示了遗传学的未知面。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Nabeel Yaseen博士所说的话“A lot of people who want to be vegetarian are perhaps not able to (很多想成为素食主义者的人可能做不到)”和“We wanted to know if genetics (遗传学) is part of the reason (我们想知道遗传学是否是部分原因)”可知，Nabeel Yaseen博士研究素食主义者是为了调查基因是否对人们可以忠诚地吃素食有影响。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“They found 34 genes that may play a role in sticking to a strict vegetarian diet. And they identified 3 genes that are more tightly linked to the feature. (他们发现34个基因可能在坚持严格素食饮食方面发挥作用。他们确定了3个与这一特征联系更紧密的基因)”可知，根据Yaseen博士的研究，有些基因与坚持严格素食饮食有关。由此可知，基因可能影响素食主义。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The study can’t answer exactly how genetic differences could shape or influence vegetarians, but Dr. Yaseen has some ideas. His research has disclosed many unknown aspects of genetics. (这项研究无法准确回答基因差异是如何塑造或影响素食者的，但Yaseen博士有一些想法。他的研究揭示了遗传学的许多未知方面)”可知，虽然研究目前无法准确解释基因与素食者之间的关联，但是作者肯定了Yaseen博士的研究揭示了遗传学的未知面。由此推知，作者对其研究发现持欣赏赞许的态度。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“We wanted to know if genetics (遗传学) is part of the reason (我们想知道遗传学是否是部分原因)”可知，文章围绕为什么有些人无法坚持素食主义展开，介绍了一项研究显示，有些基因可能与能否坚持严格素食饮食有关。因此，D项“基因在素食忠诚中的作用”契合文章大意，最适合作为标题。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Research shows making art or even viewing the work of other people reduces levels of the stress.

Panicked, he quickly hid the duck behind a pile of old wood in the yard. He was afraid to tell his grandmother the truth, worried about being punished. However, what he didn’t know was that his sister Marie had seen the entire event. The next day, when Grandma asked Marie to wash the dishes, Marie seized the opportunity to shift the responsibility onto Sammy. She said, “Sammy told me he wanted to help in the kitchen today, Grandma.” Sammy was shocked and confused because he had not said such a thing. Marie approached him and whispered threateningly, “Remember the duck?” It was then that Sammy realized Marie had seen his secret and was now using it to make him do the housework she didn’t want to do. This situation continued for several days. Whenever there were household chores to be done Marie would threaten Sammy with “Remember the duck?”.

B In August 2019, two citizen scientists, Sunniva Sorby and Hilde FalunStrom landed on Spitsbergen, in Norway’s Svalbard island group. They planned to work through the winter, then go home in May 2020. But their ship could not come because of COVID-19 shutdowns. For fourteen months, they lived in a small cabin on an icy island near the North Poles. Sometimes, hurricane-force winds forced freezing air through the cabin’s slats. Once, wind ripped the door open. Sunniva and Hilde couldn’t close it until the storm ended! Between storms, silence settled on the cabin. Then, they could hear the crunch-crunch-crunch of polar bears walking in the snow. Their days started at 7 am and ended after midnight. Each morning, they wore down-stuffed jackets and pants as they waited for the wood-burning stove to heat the cabin. They cut pieces of freshwater ice to melt for drinking, cooking and bathing. For the stove, they gathered driftwood. They cooked their meals, including pizza! These tasks used up large stretches of each day. They also kept in touch with schools and other groups. They wrote blog entries and answered e-mails. For fun, they danced to music, exercised, practiced yoga and read. “We are efficient here,” Sunniva wrote. “We have a routine, habits, and systems. We have time for what matters most living safely while making a contribution to our understanding of a changing world.” They conducted lots of experiments. They gathered data on climate change, using a drone (无人机) to measure sea-ice temperatures. They observed wildlife and tested new technologies, including an electric snowmobile. To stay four extra months, they had to eat smaller amounts of food so they wouldn’t run out. “It was difficult being here, so far away from everything,” Sunniva wrote. “Food, shelter, and warmth are often taken for granted until you are on your own.” But, they wrote, “We have packed our patience, our smiles, and good spirits.” And they enjoyed the adventure, finding ordinary miracles every day. 4. What can we learn about the two scientists on Spitsbergen? A. They lived a boring life there. B. They could always keep the door closed. C. They brought drinking water with them. D. They stayed in contact with other groups. 5. What did Sunniva and Hilde do according to Paragraph 3? A. They watched the wildlife carefully. B. They invented an electric snowmobile. C. They conducted experiments on drones. D. They collected data of new technologies. 6. Which of the following best describes these two scientists? A. Generous. B. Optimistic. C. Sensitive. D. Honest. 7. What does the author want to convey through the two scientists’ story? A. Well begun, half done. B. It’s easier said than done. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C Favored by many internet influencers, the city of Zibo, once a sleepy industrial city, has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms. The topic Zibo “barbecue” on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, was played 4.96 billion times since the city stormed the Internet for over a month. On 29 April, Zibo Railway Station saw a record 87,000 train trips to and from the station, according to Chinese news website Caixin. Local authorities in Zibo have been quick to respond to the sudden flow of visitors. A barbecue zone that can accommodate 10,000 people, featuring live band performances, was built overnight. Volunteers have been dispatched to the railway station to offer advice and recommendations to tourists. Designated (指定的) buses and trains bring tourists to and from the hottest barbecue spots. The government has even threatened to punish profiteering hotels who raise prices by more than 50% . What makes Zibo barbecue so special is that it does offer a distinctive (独特的) dining experience. The skewers (烤串) are 70-80 percent cooked before they are brought to the table, where diners can finish cooking them on their own stoves, offering an immersive dining experience. Zibo’s low prices are also appealing. Many college students in Shandong have made concrete plans to enjoy Zibo barbecue at the least cost, and traveling back and forth by train for only 200 yuan ($29.1). So what better way to attract adventurous, hungry college students with a tight budget other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full for only 50 yuan!” The locals seem happy enough about the arrival of visitors and shy away from hot spots to make space for outsiders, saying they are proud that their hometown has gained nationwide fame. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The history of Zibo. B. The influence of social media. C. The newfound popularity of Zibo. D. The crowdedness of Zibo Railway Station. 9. What makes Zibo barbecue attractive to college students? A. Unique dining experience. B. Convenient transportation. C Wonderful performances. D. Affordable prices. 10. What is the local people’s attitude to the arrival of tourists? A. Favorable. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote an industrial city. B. To introduce barbecue in Zibo. C. To explain how to attract tourists. D. To show the popularity of barbecue. D People are motivated to try a vegetarian (素食的) diet for different reasons — from ethical and religious, to potential health and environmental benefits. But many people have a hard time sticking to it. In fact studies show many self-reported vegetarians actually do consume some animal products. “A lot of people who want to be vegetarian are perhaps not able to,” says Dr. Nabeel Yaseen, of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “We wanted to know if genetics (遗传学) is part of the reason,” he says. Yaseen and his team members compared the DNA of about 330,000 people. They found 34 genes that may play a role in sticking to a strict vegetarian diet. And they identified 3 genes that are more tightly linked to the feature. “What we can say is that these genes (基因) have something to do with vegetarianism,” Yaseen says. “Perhaps vegetarians have different variants of these genes that make them able to choose a strict vegetarian diet,” he explains. The study is published in PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed science journal. Interpreting the genetic role is not exactly an easy task to finish. Humans have thousands of genes and there are millions of tiny variations (变异) in DNA building blocks, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), where you can see differences between individuals. To identify SNPs that are connected with the particular feature of sticking to a vegetarian diet, Yaseen and his workmates did a genome-wide connection study. When they found a SNP connected with vegetarianism, they looked to see the genes around it in the same area. Of the three genes most strongly connected with vegetarianism, the authors say two of them (known as NPC1 and RMC1) have important functions in lipid- or fat- metabolism. The study can’t answer exactly how genetic differences could shape or influence vegetarians, but Dr. Yaseen has some ideas. His research has disclosed many unknown aspects of genetics. 12. Why did Dr. Nabeel Yaseen research vegetarians? A. To understand health benefits of vegetarianism. B. To investigate genetics in vegetarian devotion. C. To study environmental impact of vegetarianism. D. To explore the cultural aspects of vegetarianism. 13. What can we learn about genes from Yaseen’s study? A. They have the same variations. B. They determine vegetarian fat. C. They may influence vegetarianism. D. They play no role in dietary choices. 14 What is the author’s attitude to Yaseen’s findings? A. Critical. B. Appreciative. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Benefits of Vegetarianism B. The Diet Research on Vegetarians C. Challenges in Maintaining a Vegetarian Diet D. The Role of Genetics in Vegetarian Devotion 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Research shows making art or even viewing the work of other people reduces levels of the stress.

The farm was filled with fun and adventure, but one day, an unfortunate accident occurred. While playing, Sammy accidentally shot his grandmother’s beloved pet duck with a slingshot (弹弓). Panicked, he quickly hid the duck behind a pile of old wood in the yard. He was afraid to tell his grandmother the truth, worried about being punished. However, what he didn’t know was that his sister Marie had seen the entire event. The next day, when Grandma asked Marie to wash the dishes, Marie seized the opportunity to shift the responsibility onto Sammy.
