It is one of the camping festivals in New Zealand that could bring together world-class bands, DJs and festival-goers to welcome the coming year.”（Rhythm & Alps是一个你可以计划公路旅行（参加的）节日。这是新西兰的露营节日之一，可以把世界级的乐队、 DJ 和节日游客聚集到一起来迎接新的一年。）“Rhythm and Vines”部分中“A 3-day-long international music festival, Rhythm and Vines, is held there to welcome the first sunrise of the New Year.”（一个为期三天的国际音乐节“Rhythm and Vines”在这里举行，以迎接新年的第一缕阳光。）可知，两个节日中虽然节目的组成形式有区别，但都是通过这些形式来迎接新年。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Victorian Fete部分中“Victorian Fete is a good occasion during which festival-goers take a step back in time to the Victorian era.

That person was my stepmother. I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words, “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this town and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.” My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied ,“You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.” That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the city, where my father’s care er could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated. When I turned fourteen she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary (受益人) . My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president. 4. What can be learnt about the author from Paragraph 2? A. He was the worst boy in the town. B. He liked throwing rocks at people. C. He left a bad impression on his stepmother. D. He received a poor comment from his father. 5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了继母对作者的肯定，从而激发了孩子心中对成功的渴望，继母心中的热情，终于促使作者成功了。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“My father introduced me to her with these words, “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this town and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.””（父亲把我介绍给她说：“我想让你见见这个家伙，他是这个镇上出了名的坏男孩，他可能最迟明天早上就会向你扔石头。”）可推知，从第二段中我们可以了解到作者父亲对他的评价很差。故选D项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the city, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.”（那句话开始了我们之间的友谊。从来没有人说我聪明。我的家人和邻居在我心目中把我塑造成一个坏男孩。我的继母改变了这一切。她改变了很多事情。她说服我父亲去了一所牙科学校，他以优异的成绩毕业。她把我们全家搬到了城市，在那里父亲的护理工作可以更成功，我和哥哥可以接受更好的教育。）可知，第三段主要讲了继母对家庭的影响。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer.”（当我14岁时，她给我买了一台二手打字机，并告诉我她相信我能成为一名作家。）可知，继母给作者买了一台打字机是为了鼓励他写作。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.”（另一个人的热情是我走向成功的动力。那个人就是我的继母。）可知，文章讲的是继母对作者的肯定，从而激发了孩子心中对成功的渴望，继母心中的热情，终于促使作者成功了。故文章最好的标题是“热情改变生活”。故选A项。 C A new report has concluded that advertising managers are becoming increasingly interested in children. Studies show that children influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, so they’re an attractive target for advertisers. John Taylor, the author of the report, says:“Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention, or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the programme begins.” Most advertisements aimed at children are short, imaginative and often in the form of animated cartoons(动画片).“Children love the ads and watch them in the same way as any entertainment programmer,”Taylor says. There’re concerns about advertising aimed at young people. The concerns are shared by Sarah Durham, a writer and journalist specializing in media analysis. “The most worrying thing is that children don’t think carefully when they see television advertisements. They’re less critical than adults and don’t usually realise the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service,”she says. There’re also concerns over the vast sums of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many companies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon characters and gimmicky（耍花招的）packaging.” Government approaches to controlling advertising to children vary. In Sweden, one of the strictest countries where advertising is concerned, TV advertising to children under the age of 12 is banned. Greece bans television advertisements for children’s toys between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Denmark and the Netherlands also have legal controls whereas France, Britain and Germany prefer self-regulation（自动调节）． Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so that they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power. 8. What does John Taylor mainly talk about in Paragraph 2? A. Ways in which advertisers reach children. B. The time children spend watching television. C. Examples of successful advertising to children. D. The serious problems of advertising to children. 9. Why is Sarah Durham concerned about advertising aimed at children? A. TV ads limit children’s imagination. B. TV ads affect children’s brain development. C. Children lack the good sense to make decisions. D. Children may spend lots of time watching television. 10. What does Durham say about the food advertised? A. It’s tasty. B. It’s cheap. C. It’s unhealthy. D. It’s ready­made. 11. What is the French’s attitude toward advertising to children? A. Doubtful. B. Relaxed. C. Objective. D. Unfavorable. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了广告对儿童的影响。由于儿童缺乏对事物的判断能力，所以家长需要格外注意这些针对儿童的广告，不能让儿童被广告内容所篇。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“John Taylor, the author of the report, says: “Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmers to attract attention, or they can sponsor programmers and show their advertisements just before the programmer begins.””（这份报告的作者约翰•泰勒(John Taylor)表示:“广告商可以通过多种方式达到他们的目标。例如，他们可以在学校放假期间多次播放一则广告，他们可以使电视广告的声音比原定节目大一些，以吸引注意力，或者他们可以赞助节目，在节目开始前播放他们的广告。”）可知，第二段主要在讲对儿童做广告的方式。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““The most worrying thing is that children don’t think carefully when they see television advertisements. They’re less critical than adults and don’t usually realize the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service,” she says.”（“最令人担忧的是，孩子们在看电视广告时没有认真思考。 他们没有成年人那么挑剔，通常不会意识到广告中有说服力的信息来鼓励他们或他们的父母在产品或服务上花费尽可能多的钱。”她说。）可知，Sarah Durham担心的是孩子们缺乏做决定的判断力。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“There are also concerns over the vast sums of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many companies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon characters and gimmicky（耍花招的）packaging.””（人们还担心垃圾食品生产商会花费巨额广告来说服儿童购买他们的食品。达勒姆（Durham）认为，许多广告出售的食品中脂肪，盐和糖的含量比健康的产品高得多。“许多公司针对儿童提供免费玩具，卡通人物模型和花哨的包装。”）可知，对于做广告的食物，Durham认为是不健康的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so that they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power.”（有些国家不像瑞典人那样肯定广告对儿童有害。法国人认为，孩子们需要看很多广告，这样他们才能在成长过程中发展他们思考能力。他们相信广告会帮助孩子们更多地意识到它的说服力。）可知，法国人认为孩子看广告是有好处的。因而法国人对儿童广告是松懈的。故选B项。 D Restaurants and cafes throughout England will soon be stopped from using some of the most common single-use plastics-is-a ban (禁令) green groups called necessary, not enough, and long awaited. The long-expected ban, announced last Saturday, makes it illegal for those companies to sell certain kinds of food packaging, as well as plastic plates and bowls designed to be used once and thrown away. The ban takes effect in October. The new strategy is “a really positive step in the right direction, but we’re coming to it late,” said Steve Hynd, a strategy manager for a British environmental organization. The 27 members of the European Union have been banning the items since July 2021. With Scotland stopping the use of single-use plastics last year and Wales advancing similar rules, environmental groups said England was “the only country in Europe” without a ban. Last month they handed in their formal request signed by more than 118,000 people requesting British officials to catchup. England uses more than 5 billion single-use plates and other items each year, according to the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs. Most are made of plastic and end up being burnt, or thrown as litter that damages the food chain. Because they are made from fossil fuels (化石燃料), their production gives out planet warming greenhouse gases and brings a lot of pollution. “Such a ban should be seen as an opportunity to create a cleaner U.K.,” Hynd said. He pictures a future in which it possible to walkthrough a park without seeing plastic littering the landscape or to sit on a beach without watching it wash ashore. 12. What does Steve Hynd mean in paragraph 2? A. England must carry out the ban effectively. B. England have always been on the right path. C. England should have put the ban in place earlier. D. England should follow more bans in the near future. 13. Why did the environmental groups make a request? A. To praise Scotland and Wales. B. To show the officials their strong power. C. To calm down the more than 118,000 people. D. To push the government to take immediate action. 14. What’s the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To explain how plastics are made. B. To tell how to recycle the plastics. C. To display the widespread use of plastics. D. To show the impact of plastics in England. 15. What is Hynd’s attitude towards the ban? A. Amused. B. Confident. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了英国上周六通过一项禁令——今年10月开始英国全境内的餐馆和咖啡厅禁止使用一次性塑料产品。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The new strategy is “a really positive step in the right direction, but we’re coming to it late,” said Steve Hynd, a strategy manager for a British environmental organization. (新战略是“朝着正确方向迈出的真正积极的一步，但我们来得太晚了，”英国一家环保组织的战略经理Steve Hynd说)”可知，Steve Hynd说此话的意思是英格兰本应该早点实施禁令。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“environmental groups said England was “the only country in Europe” without a ban. Last month they handed in their formal request signed by more than 118,000 people requesting British officials to catchup. (环保组织表示，英格兰是“欧洲唯一一个”没有禁令的国家。上个月，他们递交了一份有超过11.8万人签名的正式请求，要求英国官员跟进)”可知，环保组织提出请求的原因是，催促政府立即采取行动。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“England uses more than 5 billion single-use plates and other items each year, according to the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs. Most are made of plastic and end up being burnt, or thrown as litter that damages the food chain. Because they are made from fossil fuels (化石燃料), their production gives out planet warming greenhouse gases and brings a lot of pollution. (根据环境、食品和农村事务部的数据，英国每年使用超过50亿个一次性盘子和其他物品。大多数是由塑料制成的，最终被烧毁，或被当作垃圾扔掉，破坏了食物链。因为它们是由化石燃料制成的，它们的生产会释放出使地球变暖的温室气体，并带来很多污染)”推知，本段的主要目的是给读者展示塑料在英国的影响。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Such a ban should be seen as an opportunity to create a cleaner U.K.,” Hynd said. He pictures a future in which it possible to walkthrough a park without seeing plastic littering the landscape or to sit on a beach without watching it wash ashore. (“这样的禁令应该被视为创造一个更清洁的英国的机会，”Hynd说。他描绘了这样一个未来：在公园散步时，不会看到到处乱扔的塑料；坐在海滩上，不会看到塑料被冲上岸)”推知，Hynd对该禁令是充满信心的，认为它会带来一个更清洁的英国。故选B。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 If you are thinking about asking for a raise in salary, there are several things to keep in mind. First, consider whether you decree a higher salary. ____16____ Sit down and make a list of your job accomplishments. Be as specific as possible. For example, think about important projects you have worked oh, things you have done to improve the organization of work in your department, or how your efforts have brought more money to the company. Also include any professional development opportunities you have taken advantage of recently and be ready to explain how they have improved your performance on the job. ____17____ Bear in mind that salary levels are based not only on performance but also on the market for your particular skills. Before you ask for a raise, you need to do some research. You should investigate the industry standards for salaries for people in similar positions with similar levels of experience ____18____ Your initial(最初的)request should actually be slightly higher than the amount you want in order to leave some room for negotiation. Then, if you have to go lower than this amount, you still end up with something close to what you want. ____19____ If you have recently been given new responsibilities, it makes sense to ask for a higher level of compensation(补偿). On the other hand, if the company is going through financial difficulties, a request for more money will probably not be met with a favorable response. It would be better to wait until the company is in a better financial position. Finally, never give personal reasons for wanting a higher salary. Your need to pay your child’s college tuition or buy a bigger house is of no concern to your boss. ____20____ That is where you need to keep the conversation. A. Everyone is eager for a raise in salary. B. Skills play a key role in your salary level. C. An important point is the timing of your request. D. Then you will be better prepared when you meet with your boss. E. Your salary level should be based on professional considerations alone. F. You probably do, but you should be able to explain exactly why to your boss. G. This will help you determine what would be a reasonable amount of money to ask for. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. G 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者用了有说服力的语言，介绍了员工向雇主提出增加薪金前应考虑的事情。 【16题详解】 根据前文“First, consider whether you deserve a higher salary.(首先，考虑一下你是否应该得到更高的薪水。)”可知，选项承接上文，说明这么作要向老板解释原因。F选项“You probably do, but you should be able to explain exactly why to your boss.(你可能会这样做，但你应该能够向你的老板解释清楚原因。)”符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 前文说“Also include any professional development opportunities you have taken advantage of recently and be ready to explain how they have improved your performance on the job.( 还要包括你最近利用的任何职业发展机会，并准备好解释它们是如何提高你在工作中的表现的。)”可知，选项要说明做到前述几项，就会有本句所说情况的出现。D项“Then you will be better prepared when you meet with your boss.(这样，当你和老板见面时，你就会有更好的准备。)”切题。 故选D项。 【18题详解】 上文说“You should investigate the industry standards for salaries for people in similar positions with similar levels of experience.( 你应该调查一下类似职位和经验水平相似的人的行业工资标准。)”可知，选项承接上文，说明这么做的作用是什么。故G项“This will help you determine what would be a reasonable amount of money to ask for.(这将帮助你确定多少钱是合理的要求。)”，故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据后文的“if the company is going through financial difficulties, a request for more money will probably not be met with a favorable response.( 如果公司正在经历财政困难，要求更多的资金可能不会得到一个有利的回应。)” 可知，如果公司正经历财政困难，要求更多的钱可能不会得到一个有利的回应。本段后面内容从正反两方面，说明提出要求增加薪金时，要选择恰当的时机。C项“An important point is the timing of your request.( 关键的一点是你提出要求的时机。)”说关键的一点是你请求的时间，提到了时间，照应下文。故选C项。 【20题详解】 上文说“Your need to pay your child’s college tuition or buy a bigger house is of no concern to your boss.( 你需要支付孩子的大学学费或买一所更大的房子，你的老板根本不关心。)”可知，不要给出要求加薪的个人原因，而是基于职业方面的考虑。E项“Your salary level should be based on professional considerations alone.(你的工资水平应该仅仅基于你的专业考虑。)”切题。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had three items in a checkout line.

Then the two boys ran out through the exit with the small bag of groceries to send it to the old woman.”（她让收银员尽快把所有剩下的东西加到她的账单上。然后，两个男孩拿着小包食品从出口跑出去，把它送给了老妇人。），作者看到这位带着小孩的母亲把陌生人没有买到的东西买单了并且送给了那位陌生人，这是一件非常慷慨的事情。故选A。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：你只需要在收银台前多等一会儿，就能见证这一瞬间的善意。A. observe观察；B. witness目击；C. notice注意；D. reserve保留。根据前文可知，作者是在商场等待买单的时候见证了一位母亲对陌生人的善意。故选B。 第II卷（非选择题55分） 第二节（共10小题; 每小题1.5分，满分15分） 在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 It was an unforgettable night.

It was a typical November day, cold in the shade and warm in the sun. A perfect day for outdoor shopping. We walked up and down looking at the many things, but nothing called out to me. After an hour of walking with the wind blowing in the air, we decided to call it quits and go home for lunch. On our way, I was rubbing my cold hands together when I noticed that my engagement ring was missing. When I informed Scott of the missing ring he couldn’t believe it either. We searched the car and I searched my clothes, too. No ring! It must have fallen off my finger in the cold. We headed back to the flea market and parked in the same spot as before. We checked that area, and then began walking up and down the maze of tables while looking at the ground. Leaves blew in the wind and people were everywhere. Hundreds of feet passed by and I began getting lightheaded as I intently looked at the ground, I was afraid of the thought of someone finding my ring and wearing it home, not knowing the emotional value and its history. It was an expensive engagement ring my now dead partner had given me twenty years earlier. I had never lost or misplaced it in all that time... until now. We gave up, cold and hungry. I was angry at myself for having lost the ring. We drove home as I tried to hold back my tears. After lunch, which I had no appetite for, we decided to return to the flea market. If we were going to find it, it was now or never. Time was of the importance. And so, for the third time we parked the car in the same spot. Because it was later in the day, most of the vendors had packed up and left. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 We went to the manager’s office and told him my sad story. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, we reached the far end of the flea market. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： We went to the manager’s office and told him my sad story. I left my name and phone number hoping that someone would find the ring and turn it in. After that, I took a deep breath and we set out on our mission. It was much warmer and not as windy. I took the left side of the paths and Scott the right. We walked and walked and walked. There was broken glass that shone like a diamond ring. There were shiny soda can tabs that caught our eye. There were silver coins. Finally, we reached the far end of the flea market. There were a number of empty tables because the vendors had already packed up and left. And there, under one of those tables, I spotted a shiny little circle in the dirt. I shouted to Scott that I had found the ring! He said it was unbelievable! Yes, it was truly a miracle. Three hours after I lost it, with hundreds of people walking by, my ring waited for the person meant to find it... me! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在跳蚤市场弄丢了自己的订婚戒指，到处都没有找到。那是一枚昂贵的订婚戒指，是作者已故的伴侣20年前送的礼物。虽然很沮丧，但是作者没有放弃，最终在戒指丢了三个小时后，作者在市场的桌子下面找到了戒指。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们去了经理的办公室，把我的悲惨经历告诉了他。”可知，第一段可描写作者告诉经理自己的经历以后继续寻找戒指。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，我们到达了跳蚤市场的尽头。”可知，第二段可描写作者找到戒指的经过和感受。 2.续写线索：告知经历——继续寻找——到达市场尽头——发现戒指——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①到达：reach/arrive ②上交：turn sth. in/hand sth. in ③路过：walk by/pass by 情绪类 ①真地：truly /really ②难以置信：unbelievable /incredible 【点睛】[高分句型1] Three hours after I lost it, with hundreds of people walking by, my ring waited for the person meant to find it... me!

B Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother. I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words, “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this town and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.” My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied ,“You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.” That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the city, where my father’s care er could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated. When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary (受益人) . My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president. 4. What can be learnt about the author from Paragraph 2? A. He was the worst boy in the town. B. He liked throwing rocks at people. C. He left a bad impression on his stepmother. D. He received a poor comment from his father. 5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The stepmother’s influence on the family. B. Friendship between mother and son. C. Changes in the family relationship. D. Reasons for receiving education. 6. Why did the stepmother buy the author a typewriter? A. To congratulate on his success. B. To encourage him to write. C. To help him find a good job. D. To teach him how to type. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Enthusiasm Changes Life B. Success Lies in Education C. A Stepmother’s Amazing Life D. The Secret of a Good Writer C A new report has concluded that advertising managers are becoming increasingly interested in children. Studies show that children influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, so they’re an attractive target for advertisers. John Taylor, the author of the report, says:“Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention, or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the programme begins.” Most advertisements aimed at children are short, imaginative and often in the form of animated cartoons(动画片).“Children love the ads and watch them in the same way as any entertainment programmer,”Taylor says. There’re concerns about advertising aimed at young people. The concerns are shared by Sarah Durham, a writer and journalist specializing in media analysis. “The most worrying thing is that children don’t think carefully when they see television advertisements. They’re less critical than adults and don’t usually realise the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service,”she says. There’re also concerns over the vast sums of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many companies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon characters and gimmicky（耍花招的）packaging.” Government approaches to controlling advertising to children vary. In Sweden, one of the strictest countries where advertising is concerned, TV advertising to children under the age of 12 is banned. Greece bans television advertisements for children’s toys between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Denmark and the Netherlands also have legal controls whereas France, Britain and Germany prefer self-regulation（自动调节）． Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so that they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power. 8. What does John Taylor mainly talk about in Paragraph 2? A. Ways in which advertisers reach children. B. The time children spend watching television. C. Examples of successful advertising to children. D The serious problems of advertising to children. 9. Why is Sarah Durham concerned about advertising aimed at children? A. TV ads limit children’s imagination. B. TV ads affect children’s brain development. C. Children lack the good sense to make decisions. D. Children may spend lots of time watching television. 10. What does Durham say about the food advertised? A. It’s tasty. B. It’s cheap. C. It’s unhealthy. D. It’s ready­made. 11. What is the French’s attitude toward advertising to children? A. Doubtful. B. Relaxed. C. Objective. D. Unfavorable. D Restaurants and cafes throughout England will soon be stopped from using some of the most common single-use plastics-is-a ban (禁令) green groups called necessary, not enough, and long awaited. The long-expected ban, announced last Saturday, makes it illegal for those companies to sell certain kinds of food packaging, as well as plastic plates and bowls designed to be used once and thrown away. The ban takes effect in October. The new strategy is “a really positive step in the right direction, but we’re coming to it late,” said Steve Hynd, a strategy manager for a British environmental organization. The 27 members of the European Union have been banning the items since July 2021. With Scotland stopping the use of single-use plastics last year and Wales advancing similar rules, environmental groups said England was “the only country in Europe” without a ban. Last month they handed in their formal request signed by more than 118,000 people requesting British officials to catchup. England uses more than 5 billion single-use plates and other items each year, according to the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs. Most are made of plastic and end up being burnt, or thrown as litter that damages the food chain. Because they are made from fossil fuels (化石燃料), their production gives out planet warming greenhouse gases and brings a lot of pollution. “Such a ban should be seen as an opportunity to create a cleaner U.K.,” Hynd said. He pictures a future in which it possible to walkthrough a park without seeing plastic littering the landscape or to sit on a beach without watching it wash ashore. 12. What does Steve Hynd mean in paragraph 2? A. England must carry out the ban effectively. B. England have always been on the right path. C England should have put the ban in place earlier. D.

First, consider whether you decree a higher salary. ____16____ Sit down and make a list of your job accomplishments. Be as specific as possible. For example, think about important projects you have worked oh, things you have done to improve the organization of work in your department, or how your efforts have brought more money to the company. Also include any professional development opportunities you have taken advantage of recently and be ready to explain how they have improved your performance on the job. ____17____ Bear in mind that salary levels are based not only on performance but also on the market for your particular skills. Before you ask for a raise, you need to do some research. You should investigate the industry standards for salaries for people in similar positions with similar levels of experience ____18____ Your initial(最初的)request should actually be slightly higher than the amount you want in order to leave some room for negotiation. Then, if you have to go lower than this amount, you still end up with something close to what you want. ____19____ If you have recently been given new responsibilities it makes sense to ask for a higher level of compensation(补偿). On the other hand, if the company is going through financial difficulties, a request for more money will probably not be met with a favorable response. It would be better to wait until the company is in a better financial position. Finally, never give personal reasons for wanting a higher salary. Your need to pay your child’s college tuition or buy a bigger house is of no concern to your boss. ____20____ That is where you need to keep the conversation. A. Everyone is eager for a raise in salary. B. Skills play a key role in your salary level. C. An important point is the timing of your request. D. Then you will be better prepared when you meet with your boss. E. Your salary level should be based on professional considerations alone. F. You probably do, but you should be able to explain exactly why to your boss. G. This will help you determine what would be a reasonable amount of money to ask for. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had three items in a checkout line.

It was a typical November day, cold in the shade and warm in the sun. A perfect day for outdoor shopping. We walked up and down looking at the many things, but nothing called out to me. After an hour of walking with the wind blowing in the air, we decided to call it quits and go home for lunch. On our way, I was rubbing my cold hands together when I noticed that my engagement ring was missing. When I informed Scott of the missing ring he couldn’t believe it either. We searched the car and I searched my clothes, too. No ring! It must have fallen off my finger in the cold. We headed back to the flea market and parked in the same spot as before. We checked that area, and then began walking up and down the maze of tables while looking at the ground. Leaves blew in the wind and people were everywhere. Hundreds of feet passed by and I began getting lightheaded as I intently looked at the ground, I was afraid of the thought of someone finding my ring and wearing it home, not knowing the emotional value and its history. It was an expensive engagement ring my now dead partner had given me twenty years earlier. I had never lost or misplaced it in all that time... until now. We gave up, cold and hungry. I was angry at myself for having lost the ring. We drove home as I tried to hold back my tears. After lunch, which I had no appetite for, we decided to return to the flea market. If we were going to find it, it was now or never. Time was of the importance. And so, for the third time we parked the car in the same spot. Because it was later in the day, most of the vendors had packed up and left. 注意：1.续写词数应150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 We went to the manager’s office and told him my sad story. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, we reached the far end of the flea market. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1．A 2．A 3．A 4．B 5．B 6．C 7．C 8．B 9．B 10．B 11．A 12．A 13．C 14．B 15．B 16．C 17．B 18．C 19．A 20．A 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
