Quizlet When learning English, you probably have to memorize a lot of words. If you want to grow your vocabulary as fast as possible, a flashcard app like Quizlet is a great shortcut. With Quizlet, you can create a set of flashcards with new English words you are trying to learn, and practice typing them out until you know them by heart. It's a simple concept, but it's highly effective. Spotify Spotify is not a language learning app. But chances are that you already use it or a similar app for listening to music or podcasts（播客）, and one of the effective ways to study is combining something you already use into your existing habits. If Spotify is already on your phone, you can subscribe to some podcasts for English learners or download playlists of songs for learning English, or make your own. Beelinguapp Beelinguapp makes reading in English as convenient as possible. It shows you a text in your own language with the English translation side-by-side. Texts are short enough so that you can really dig into every word. They cover topics from fairytales, to science, to current news articles. There's even a "karaoke" feature where you can read along to audio, which helps you match up the English pronunciation with the English spellings. Tandem Tandem is a language exchange app which connects learners from all over the world. It can help you find a native English speaker who is trying to learn your native language, so you can swap language skills. If you only have five minutes to spare, you can simply exchange messages with a native English speaker. If you have more time, you can have a longer, digital language exchange" by sharing voice notes, or using video chat. It's a great way to test your English skills out with real people. 1. What is Spotify intended to help people do? A. Develop a good habit. B. Listen to music or podcasts. C. Learn a foreign language. D. Memorize words with flashcards. 2. What is the advantage of Beelinguapp? A. Learners can use their native language as a reference. B. It's convenient for learners to translate voice notes. C. It provides learners a chance to tell their own stories. D. Learners can sing English songs along to the music. 3. Which app can help people interact with a native speaker? A. Quizlet. B. Spotify. C. Beelinguapp. D. Tandem. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四款学习英语的应用程序。 1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Spotify部分的“Spotify is not a language learning app. But chances are that you already use it or a similar app for listening to music or podcasts（播客）,（Spotify不是一个语言学习应用。但是很有可能你已经在使用它或类似的应用程序来听音乐或播客，）”可知，Spotify可以听音乐或者博客。故选B项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据Beelinguapp部分的“It shows you a text in your own language with the English translation side-by-side.（它以自己的语言显示文本，并与英文翻译并排显示。）”可推知，Beelinguapp 的优势是学习者可以用他们的母语作为参考。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tandem部分的“It can help you find a native English speaker who is trying to learn your native language, so you can swap language skills.（它可以帮助你找到一个以英语为母语的人，他正在努力学习你的母语，这样你就可以交换语言技能。）”可知，Tandem这款应用程序可以帮助人们与以英语为母语的人互动。故选D项。 B In the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen. But a group of scientists is working on turning CO₂ in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO₂ and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO₂, it may be a feasible solution. For now, though, the team of scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry. As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO₂ every year, to battle climate change, it is necessary to turn the tide. So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly. But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet. The concept of turning CO₂ into jet fuel is not new. Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxford scientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO₂ into liquid fuel. As the process would not involve using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的). The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300°C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO₂ into new chemicals. About 48 percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic. Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO₂ collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation.” 4. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Unique. B. Practical. C. Time-tested. D. Quick. 5. What problem does the aviation industry face? A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage. B. The traditional jet fuel leaves much to be desired. C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights. D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough. 6. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making? A. It is green and cost-saving. B. It is complex and time-consuming. C. It undergoes tests in natural environment. D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction. 7. What’s the most suitable title for the text? A. An urgency: finding alternatives to jet fuel B. A breakthrough: transforming CO₂ into jet fuel C. A warning: needing more fuel to explore space D. An attempt: fighting for long-term settlements in space 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一组科学家正在致力于把大气中的CO₂转化为喷气燃料。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。由第一段中的“But a group of scientists is working on turning CO₂ in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO₂ and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO₂, it may be a feasible solution. (但一组科学家正在致力于把大气中的CO₂转化为喷气燃料。由于火星富含CO₂，月球表面的CO₂浓度很高, 这可能是一个feasible解决方案)”可知，科学家想把CO₂转化为喷气燃料，且火星和月球表面CO₂充足，所以这一想法很可行，feasible意为“切实可行的（Practical）”。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly. But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet. (到目前为止，航空科学家已经尝试使用其他能源，如电力来飞行。但此类航班仅限于短途飞行。对于长途航班，目前没有其他选择)”可知，航空业面临的问题是它的替代能源还不够强大。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段中的“Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxford scientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO₂ into liquid fuel. As the process would not involve using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的). (此前，其他类似的方法必须依赖昂贵的催化剂，如钴来加速化学反应。但牛津大学的科学家建议添加廉价的铁基催化剂和氢气来把CO₂ 转化为液体燃料。由于该过程不涉及使用化石燃料，因此将使该行业达到碳中和的)”可知，把CO₂ 转化为液体燃料无需昂贵的催化剂，也能达到碳中和，可得出牛津大学科学家的燃料制造方法是环保和节省成本的。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段中的“But a group of scientists is working on turning CO₂ in the atmosphere into jet fuel. (但一组科学家正在致力于把大气中的CO₂转化为喷气燃料)”和下文对此研究内容与过程的介绍可知，文章主要是向读者介绍科学家能把CO₂转化为喷气燃料这个研究，B项“突破：把CO₂转化成喷气燃料”符合文意。故选B项。 C It was our last class before the summer break. I was finishing the first year of an MFA program. I was tired and puzzled. “Was I good enough to be in the program?” When the professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn’t want to appear idle (无所事事的). “Gardening,” I responded immediately. Actually, I knew nothing about plants! My professor nodded and said, “What a good idea, Mary! Emily Dickinson loved gardening.” Emily Dickinson lived in the countryside, studying plants as a child. I was in my late twenties, living in the city without gardening experience. A few days later, I bought a jalapeño seedling (青辣椒苗). At least I could say I’d tried gardening. I watered and changed the dirt for my little plant. I even talked to it. And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn’t have a black thumb after all. I started the second year of my MFA, and then it was almost December and my jalapeño was suffering. It was brown in some places, and many of its leaves had fallen. Would my little guy make it? I prayed, “Please be okay,” as if its survival was closely linked to mine. I worked hard in school. Spring came. My jalapeño plant came back to life. It grew bigger with new leaves. And then it flowered. I handed in my graduate paper, a book of poems, in May. “Your poems are strong,” my professor said. A huge weight lifted. I’d done it! At that time, I found the flowers on my jalapeño plant were gone. I watched closer. A tiny green fruit pushed through where a flower had been. I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalapeño plant had grown right beside me, and I successfully did things I hadn’t thought possible. 8. Why did the author begin gardening? A. Just by accident. B. Because of the love of gardening. C. To express love for Emily Dickinson. D. Because of the reminding of a professor. 9. When did the author begin her first gardening? A. In her childhood. B. In one of her summer breaks. C. In her teens. D. In her first year of the MFA program. 10. What does the underlined phrase “a black thumb” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. A talent for growing plants well. B. A dirty finger to touch plants. C. A good fortune to do everything. D. The inability to do gardening. 11. Which proverb can best describe the story? A. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. B. Easier said than done. C. It’s never too old to learn. D. Do not teach fish to swim. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在攻读艺术硕士的第一年暑假种植青辣椒的故事，成功地做了以前认为不可能的事情。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段话“When the professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn’t want to appear idle (无所事事的). “Gardening,” I responded immediately. Actually, I knew nothing about plants!(当教授问起我们的暑假计划时，我慌了。我不想显得无所事事。“园艺。”我立刻回答。事实上，我对植物一无所知!)”可知，作者并不懂园艺，只是被教授突然问道，出于紧张，随口说了一个。因此，作者开始园艺只是出于偶然。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段话“It was our last class before the summer break.(这是我们暑假前的最后一节课。)”,第三段话“A few days later, I bought a jalapeño seedling (青辣椒苗).(几天之后我买了一颗青辣椒苗。)”以及“ And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. (整个夏天，它变得越来越大)”可知，作者真正开始园艺是在暑假期间。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线前“And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud.(整个夏天，它变得越来越大。我很自豪。)”可知，青椒苗在作者的培育下长势喜人。由此推断，作者觉得自己也有做好园艺的能力。划线处所在句子是个否定句，因此推知，此处指作者骄傲的自夸“或许我终究不是不擅长园艺的人”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段话“I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalapeño plant had grown right beside me, and I successfully did things I hadn’t thought possible.(我笑了笑。我成功地完成了我的艺术硕士课程，我的墨西哥胡椒就长在我身边，我成功地做了一些我认为不可能的事情。)”可知，通过作者的努力，成功地做了自己认为不可能的事情。因此推断A项“世上无难事只怕有心人”最好的描述了这个故事。故选A项。 D Both my husband and I will celebrate birthdays in the next few weeks, and we are wondering where all the time has gone. Then we start to rethink about our years together, and the time before our relationship, and the memories flood back along with more smiles than tears. As a great deal of psychological research confirms, we actually recall more positive than negative memories as we age. New research by Erika Sparrow and colleagues, just published in the journal Psychology and Aging, reviewed 16 studies on aging and altruism(利他主义), asking whether people become more open-handed and are more willing to give as they get older. The answer is yes — regardless of financial status, the level of education, or gender, older people responded more willingly when asked to give resources or help others than younger people. So maybe all of us simply need to think happy thoughts. Can it really be this easy? Mara Maher reports, in the journal Memory and Emotion, that the focus on positive aspects of our past as we get older seems to be intentional, a specific goal-directed process to create more positive memories in order to increase our sense of well-being. So there are at least some good things about getting old! But must we age to obtain these benefits? Perhaps not. Ernst Bohlmeijer and colleagues found that people who experience even mild depression or daily stress benefit from “gratitude exercises”, daily diaries where individuals write about positive experiences of their day and reflect on past experiences for which they are grateful. Taking time to actively think about and reflect on the positive experiences in our lives provides perspectives and improves our sense of well-being, regardless of our age. And we can start this process with our children! Research from The Family Narratives Lab has demonstrated many benefits of recalling happy memories between parents and children, including helping children learn to meet challenges and regulate their emotions. This birthday season, my husband and I will share our positive experiences as a gift to each other. In doing this, we will increase our sense of belonging and caring for each other, our family and our community. 12. What did the new research from Erika’s team find about older people? A. They have a more open mind. B. They are more generous to others. C. They are more likely to be tricked. D. They have a better financial situation. 13. What can we know about older people’s thinking happy thoughts? A. It is difficult to be achieved. B. It is limited to certain age groups. C. It may be performed purposefully. D. It can be helpful for people to focus on goals. 14. How do gratitude exercises benefit people according to Ernst’s team? A. By improving their mental well-being. B. By raising kind and considerate children. C By teaching them ways to meet challenges. D. By strengthening their relationship with others. 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Aging has both advantages and disadvantages. B. Reflecting on grateful memories can decrease stress. C. Keeping a diary helps increase our sense of well-being. D. Remembering positive experiences is beneficial across age. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述研究表明，记住积极的经历对任何年龄都是有益的。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The answer is yes — regardless of financial status, the level of education, or gender, older people responded more willingly when asked to give resources or help others than younger people.(答案是肯定的——无论经济状况、教育水平或性别如何，老年人在被要求提供资源或帮助他人时，比年轻人反应更积极)”可知，Erika的新研究发现，老年人对别人更慷慨。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Mara Maher reports, in the journal Memory and Emotion, that the focus on positive aspects of our past as we get older seems to be intentional, a specific goal-directed process to create more positive memories in order to increase our sense of well-being.(Mara Maher在《记忆与情感》杂志上报告称，随着年龄的增长，我们对过去积极方面的关注似乎是有意为之的，这是一个特定的目标导向过程，目的是创造更多积极的记忆，以增加我们的幸福感)”可知，老年人可能是有意地回想快乐的事情。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Taking time to actively think about and reflect on the positive experiences in our lives provides perspectives and improves our sense of well-being, regardless of our age.(花时间积极地思考和反思我们生活中积极的经历，为我们提供了视角，提高了我们的幸福感，不管我们的年龄)”可知，“感恩练习”通过改善人们的心理健康而使人受益。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第四段中“Taking time to actively think about and reflect on the positive experiences in our lives provides perspectives and improves our sense of well-being, regardless of our age.(花时间积极地思考和反思我们生活中积极的经历，为我们提供了视角，提高了我们的幸福感，不管我们的年龄)”可知，本文主要讲述，无论多大年龄，记住积极的经历能提高幸福感，D项“记住积极的经历对任何年龄都是有益的”能够总结文章大意。故选D。 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。 Anxiety is a normal feeling characterized by worry or fear.

While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen. But a group of scientists is working on turning CO₂ in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO₂ and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO₂, it may be a feasible solution. For now, though, the team of scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry. As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO₂ every year, to battle climate change, it is necessary to turn the tide. So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly. But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet. The concept of turning CO₂ into jet fuel is not new. Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxford scientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO₂ into liquid fuel. As the process would not involve using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的). The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300°C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO₂ into new chemicals. About 48 percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic. Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO₂ collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation.” 4. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Unique. B. Practical. C. Time-tested. D. Quick. 5. What problem does the aviation industry face? A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage. B. The traditional jet fuel leaves much to be desired. C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights. D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough. 6. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making? A. It is green and cost-saving. B. It is complex and time-consuming. C. It undergoes tests in natural environment. D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction. 7. What’s the most suitable title for the text? A. An urgency: finding alternatives to jet fuel B. A breakthrough: transforming CO₂ into jet fuel C. A warning: needing more fuel to explore space D. An attempt: fighting for long-term settlements in space C It was our last class before the summer break. I was finishing the first year of an MFA program. I was tired and puzzled. “Was I good enough to be in the program?” When the professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn’t want to appear idle (无所事事的). “Gardening,” I responded immediately. Actually, I knew nothing about plants! My professor nodded and said, “What a good idea, Mary! Emily Dickinson loved gardening.” Emily Dickinson lived in the countryside, studying plants as a child. I was in my late twenties, living in the city without gardening experience. A few days later, I bought a jalapeño seedling (青辣椒苗). At least I could say I’d tried gardening. I watered and changed the dirt for my little plant. I even talked to it. And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn’t have a black thumb after all. I started the second year of my MFA, and then it was almost December and my jalapeño was suffering. It was brown in some places, and many of its leaves had fallen. Would my little guy make it? I prayed, “Please be okay,” as if its survival was closely linked to mine. I worked hard in school. Spring came. My jalapeño plant came back to life. It grew bigger with new leaves. And then it flowered. I handed in my graduate paper, a book of poems, in May. “Your poems are strong,” my professor said. A huge weight lifted. I’d done it! At that time, I found the flowers on my jalapeño plant were gone. I watched closer. A tiny green fruit pushed through where a flower had been. I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalapeño plant had grown right beside me, and I successfully did things I hadn’t thought possible. 8. Why did the author begin gardening? A. Just by accident. B. Because of the love of gardening. C. To express love for Emily Dickinson. D. Because of the reminding of a professor. 9. When did the author begin her first gardening? A.

D Both my husband and I will celebrate birthdays in the next few weeks, and we are wondering where all the time has gone. Then we start to rethink about our years together, and the time before our relationship, and the memories flood back along with more smiles than tears. As a great deal of psychological research confirms, we actually recall more positive than negative memories as we age. New research by Erika Sparrow and colleagues, just published in the journal Psychology and Aging, reviewed 16 studies on aging and altruism(利他主义), asking whether people become more open-handed and are more willing to give as they get older. The answer is yes — regardless of financial status, the level of education, or gender, older people responded more willingly when asked to give resources or help others than younger people. So maybe all of us simply need to think happy thoughts. Can it really be this easy? Mara Maher reports, in the journal Memory and Emotion, that the focus on positive aspects of our past as we get older seems to be intentional, a specific goal-directed process to create more positive memories in order to increase our sense of well-being. So there are at least some good things about getting old! But must we age to obtain these benefits? Perhaps not. Ernst Bohlmeijer and colleagues found that people who experience even mild depression or daily stress benefit from “gratitude exercises”, daily diaries where individuals write about positive experiences of their day and reflect on past experiences for which they are grateful. Taking time to actively think about and reflect on the positive experiences in our lives provides perspectives and improves our sense of well-being, regardless of our age. And we can start this process with our children! Research from The Family Narratives Lab has demonstrated many benefits of recalling happy memories between parents and children, including helping children learn to meet challenges and regulate their emotions. This birthday season, my husband and I will share our positive experiences as a gift to each other. In doing this, we will increase our sense of belonging and caring for each other, our family and our community. 12. What did the new research from Erika’s team find about older people? A. They have a more open mind. B. They are more generous to others. C. They are more likely to be tricked. D. They have a better financial situation. 13. What can we know about older people’s thinking happy thoughts? A. It is difficult to be achieved. B. It is limited to certain age groups. C. It may be performed purposefully. D. It can be helpful for people to focus on goals. 14. How do gratitude exercises benefit people according to Ernst’s team? A. By improving their mental well-being. B. By raising kind and considerate children. C. By teaching them ways to meet challenges. D. By strengthening their relationship with others. 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Aging has both advantages and disadvantages. B. Reflecting on grateful memories can decrease stress. C. Keeping a diary helps increase our sense of well-being. D. Remembering positive experiences is beneficial across age. 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。 Anxiety is a normal feeling characterized by worry or fear.
