Nasser, one of the divers, climbed over the railing of the ship and his Saib emptied his basket full of shells onto the deck. “Get me something to fill my stomach with boy.” I knew he was teasing as he is my father’s good friend. “But I’m no longer an errand boy. I’m a diver, like my father was.” “Your father was bald and deaf, like the rest of us,” Nasser laughed. The salty Arabian Gulf produced the finest pearls in the world while the salty water also made divers lose their hair. Let alone the high pressure which cost them their hearing. I had shaved my head, in which way I felt more like a real diver. Of course, there’s no need for me to worry about the hair problem. “I’ve dived the shallow seas before, and I can hold my breath fora whole minute.” “Just pull your rope before you feel breathless.” He then disappeared into the water again. I tied a heavy stone to my foot with a rope. Taking one more deep breath. I plugged my nose and jumped. With the stone finally hitting the seabed with a thump. I freed my foot from the rope. I scratched at the rocky ridge (脊), when three oysters dropped into my hands. I even didn’t have enough time to feel surprised at how easy the job was before I felt breathless. Out of honor, I dragged the rope. Knowing that, tar above, the Saib’s strong arms strained to pull me toward the surface. I reminded myself to endure for a little more time. Just when I thought my lungs would burst, my cars popped and there was light. Nasser burst through the water. He removed his nose plug and grinned at me looking at the three pitiful shells on the deck. “Not bad for an errand boy.” Seeing me upset with my head down, he patted me “It’s your first for such a depth. You did better than all of us.” Cheering up, I wrapped the empty basket around my neck and raised my chin, “I’m a pearl diver.” 1. According to Nasser, what did an errand boy usually do? A. Pull divers from the sea. B. Empty baskets for divers. C. Serve snacks for divers. D. Dive for shells. 2. Why did the author have his hair cut? A. Because he tried to avoid losing hair. B. Because all divers had shaved hair. C. Because high pressure made him bald. D. Because he wanted to look professional. 3. Why did the author get little harvest? A. Because there were not many pearls in the area. B. Because he still lacked experience in the job. C. Because the Saib pulled him up too early without permission. D. Because the rocky ridge was too rough. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者潜入海里，去采集珍珠的一次经历。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Get me something to fill my stomach with, boy.”（“孩子，给我拿点东西填饱肚子。”）”及第三段的““But I’m no longer an errand boy. I’m a diver, like my father was.”（“但我不再是跑腿的了。我是潜水员，就像我父亲一样。”）”可知，跑腿的通常为潜水员提供零食。故选C。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段的“I had shaved my head, in which way I felt more like a real diver.（我剃了光头，这样我感觉更像一个真正的潜水员。）”可知，作者剪了头发是因为他想让自己看起来很专业。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“I even didn’t have enough time to feel surprised at how easy the job was before I felt breathless.（我甚至还没来得及对这项工作的轻松程度感到惊讶，就感到喘不过气来。）”和最后一段的“It’s your first for such a depth. You did better than all of us.（这是你第一次潜这么深。你比我们所有人都做得好。）”可知，作者第一次潜那么深，所以是缺乏经验，因此才收获少，故选B。 B Nathan Smith is captain of Port Vale FC, and Tom Conlon has just signed for Oldham Athletic of the National League. These two football players, both 27, feel they have a responsibility to pass on lessons they learnt to the next generation. They founded the Pro Level coaching school in 2021, offering free weekly classes at Keele University, in Staffordshire. To keep the academy run well, they then launched a charity to help children from all backgrounds and abilities get the most from the sport. They see the charity as an “antidote” to the football system, which has been heavily criticised for putting too much pressure on youngsters before many of them are thrown away. Although Nathan and Tom work with the abandoned players, trying to rebuild their confidence and love of the game, they stress that ability is not a criterion for attending the training. They will provide some vital life lessons along the way, helping young people to overcome their shyness and become better communicators, and also support young players who have been rejected by professional clubs at an early age and feel football has little to offer them. Tom said, “The sort of coaching shouldn’t just be for those who long to be the stars of the future-all children can benefit from the tactical (战术的), fitness and mentality work we do. Childhood has become increasingly challenging. We are looking to provide a place for all children to feel proud of who they are.” “I want to offer them the same experience that’s helped shape the person I am now. And we see the children that we are coaching overcome their shyness and lack of confidence. You can see them growing as young people, developing relationship, becoming better communicators and socializing with others, “added Nathan. Emily Cherry, director of the charity, said, “I’ve seen the boys coach and the difference it makes to the children. The kids benefit massively, and not just in terms of soccer skills.” 4. Why did Tom Conlon and Nathan Smith found the coaching school? A. To raise money for children. B. To hunt for professional coaches. C. To train excellent football players. D. To transform children through football. 5. Which is the closest in meaning to “antidote” in paragraph 2? A. Solution. B. Addition. C. Organisation. D. Shelter 6. What does children need most according to the text? A. Soccer skills. B. Free coaching C. Life skills. D. Physical fitness. 7. What does Emily Cherry think of the coaching school? A. It becomes a hit. B. It needs to be improved. C. It makes much profit. D. It makes much difference. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了为了把自己学到经验传授给下一代，同时给孩子们带来良好影响，汤姆·康伦和内森·史密斯成立教练学校，每周提供免费课程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They founded the Pro Level coaching school in 2021, offering free weekly classes at Keele University, in Staffordshire. To keep the academy run well, they then launched a charity to help children from all backgrounds and abilities get the most from the sport.(他们于2021年在斯塔福德郡的基尔大学创办了专业级别的教练学校，每周提供免费课程。为了保持学校的良好运作，他们发起了一个慈善机构，帮助不同背景和能力的孩子们从这项运动中获得最大的收获)”可知，汤姆·康伦和内森·史密斯成立教练学校是为了通过足球改变孩子。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“which has been heavily criticised for putting too much pressure on youngsters before many of them are thrown away”可知，which指代上文the football system，即足球系统因在许多年轻人被抛弃之前给他们施加了太多压力而受到严厉批评，所以这个慈善机构成了足球系统问题一个“解决方案”。故划线词意思是“解决方案”。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Although Nathan and Tom work with the abandoned players, trying to rebuild their confidence and love of the game, they stress that ability is not a criterion for attending the training.(虽然内森和汤姆与被遗弃的球员一起工作，试图重建他们的信心和对比赛的热爱，但他们强调能力不是参加训练的标准)”以及倒数第二段“I want to offer them the same experience that’s helped shape the person I am now. And we see the children that we are coaching overcome their shyness and lack of confidence. You can see them growing as young people, developing relationship, becoming better communicators and socializing with others(我想给他们提供同样的经历，帮助塑造了现在的我。我们看到我们所辅导的孩子克服了羞怯和缺乏自信。你可以看到他们成长为年轻人，发展人际关系，成为更好的沟通者和社交者)”可知，孩子们最需要生活技能。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Emily Cherry, director of the charity, said, “I’ve seen the boys coach and the difference it makes to the children. The kids benefit massively, and not just in terms of soccer skills.”(该慈善机构的负责人艾米丽·切里说：“我看到了男孩们的教练，这对孩子们产生了很大的影响。孩子们受益匪浅，而且不仅仅是在足球技能方面。”)”可知，艾米丽·切里认为教练学校影响很大。故选D。 C Packaging can play a greater role in keeping produce and other foods fresh, therefore minimizing food waste — especially if consumers can better understand those packaging technologies. That’s among the takeaways of research led by Michigan State University (MSU)’s School of Packaging, detailed in a recently released white paper. In the United States, food waste in landfills doubled from 1990 to 2020, according to data shared by the US Environmental Protection Agency this year. Researchers cited data showing 40% of the food supply is wasted each year, with 43% of that happening at the consumer or household level. Ameripen, the only organization exclusively focused on US public policy for the entire packaging industry, and the Environmental Research & Education Foundation funded research that included a survey of more than 1,000 people in the United States. Ameripen said it wanted to know what role packaging could play in reducing household food waste as well as understand consumer awareness of food packaging’s value and functions. The survey asked consumers about their understanding of packaging forms and willingness to pay more for packaging designed to reduce food waste, among other areas. The study found that whole fruits and vegetables, particularly bananas and lettuce, are the foods most wasted by households, with dairy products, prepared packaged foods and leftovers also common culprits (罪魁祸首). “Half-eaten packaged food products and food without packaging that went bad before it was eaten are the two primary reasons for food waste in American households, indicating there is opportunity for improved packaging design to help consumers with extending shelf life, reuse and size,” the white paper states. Researchers reported that while consumers’ current understanding of packaging technologies was “limited”, they indicated “they would pay more for food contained in packaging that extends freshness and shelf life.” “There’s a need to design packaging for produce that is currently not packaged; that most of the produce in this study was wasted is because there is no packaging at all,” MSU’s Korey Fennel said during the webinar (网络研讨会), also noting the importance of “intelligent packaging” that could indicate the shelf life of food products. 8. What does the underlined word “minimizing” in the first paragraph mean? A. Showing. B. Continuing. C. Recovering. D. Reducing. 9. What does the author intend to do in the second paragraph? A. Summarize the previous paragraph. B. Provide some advice for the readers. C. Add some background information. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion. 10. How did the researchers conduct their study? A. By making observations. B. By asking questions. C. By carrying out experiments. D. By referring to former studies. 11. What is the consumers’ attitude to purchasing packaged food according to the study? A. Cautious. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Favorable. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了包装技术在减少食物浪费方面的重要性。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“Packaging can play a greater role in keeping produce and other foods fresh…(包装在保持农产品和其他食品新鲜方面可以发挥更大的作用……)”以及“food waste(食物浪费)”可知，包装在保持农产品和其他食品新鲜方面发挥着更大的作用，因此包装能够减少食物浪费。由此可知，划线词与D选项“Reducing.(减少)”为同义词。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the United States, food waste in landfills doubled from 1990 to 2020, according to data shared by the US Environmental Protection Agency this year. Researchers cited data showing 40% of the food supply is wasted each year, with 43% of that happening at the consumer or household level.( 根据美国环境保护署今年分享的数据，在美国，从1990年到2020年，垃圾填埋场的食物垃圾翻了一番。研究人员引用的数据显示，每年有40%的食物被浪费，其中43%发生在消费者或家庭层面)”可知，第二段通过数据表明美国人浪费食物，即添加一些背景信息。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The survey asked consumers about their understanding of packaging forms and willingness to pay more for packaging designed to reduce food waste, among other areas.(该调查询问了消费者对包装形式的理解，以及他们是否愿意为减少食物浪费的包装支付更多费用)”可知，研究者是通过问消费者问题的方式进行研究的。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Researchers reported that while consumers’ current understanding of packaging technologies was “limited”, they indicated “they would pay more for food contained in packaging that extends freshness and shelf life.”(研究人员报告称，尽管消费者目前对包装技术的了解“有限”，但他们表示，“他们愿意花更多的钱购买包装中能延长食品新鲜度和保质期的食品。”)”可推知，研究中消费者对购买带包装的食品持有的是肯定的态度。故选D。 D Not unlike the wings of airplanes, the blades (叶片) of wind turbines (涡轮机) need to be kept ice-free in order to function properly. Scientists have now developed an inexpensive method of using drones (无人机) to apply an eco-friendly anti-icing coating (涂层) to those blades. If too much ice builds up on wind turbine blades, they will turn more slowly, producing less energy. What’s more, if an equal amount of ice isn’t present on all three blades, the turbine’s balance may be thrown off, leading to increased wear and possibly even disastrous failure. There are anti-icing heating systems that can be built into the blades, but these may be beyond the financial means of many wind farm (风电场) operators. The same can be said for using helicopters to apply ice-prevention chemicals. Seeking a more economical but still effective alternative, scientists from two branches of Germany’s Fraunhofer research group recently started looking to drones. The research project is known as “TURBO: Temporary coating by means of drones — Icing protection of wind turbines as a case study”. In the current version of the resulting system, a hexacopter drone is equipped with a small pump that delivers anti-icing liquid. The liquid is sprayed (喷洒) at high pressure — which is just 0. 3 mm wide — producing tiny droplets with a diameter of 100 micrometers. Using this setup, the drone has successfully been used to apply coatings of the droplets onto the edges of wind turbine blades, even at wind speeds of up to 35 km/h (22 mph). Once solidified (固化/凝固), those coatings prevent ice formation for several weeks before a fresh coating is applied. The scientists are now seeking industry partners to help commercialize (商业化) the TURBO technology. It could also find use in the maintenance (维护) of power lines, the upper levels of tall buildings, or other things that are difficult to reach by conventional means. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Problems caused by icing. B. The process of ice formation. C. Disasters brought about by drones. D. The function of wind turbines. 13. Which word can best describe anti-icing heating systems? A. Ineffective. B. Unnecessary. C. Expensive. D. Dangerous. 14. What can we learn about the TURBO technology from the last paragraph? A. It has a wider range of applications. B. It is a relatively traditional approach. C. It can solve the problem once and for all (一劳永逸). D. It is more costly than using ice-prevention chemicals. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Advantages of Using Wind Energy B. Drones Protect Wind Turbines From Icing C. Wind Turbines Remove Ice on Their Own D. A Major Breakthrough in Drone Technology 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家开发了一种使用无人机为风力涡轮机叶片涂抹环保防冰涂层的方法。该方法经济有效，可以防止叶片结冰以保证风力涡轮机正常运行。科学家现在正寻求行业合作伙伴帮助商业化该技术，该技术也可用于电力线路、高层建筑顶部或其他难以用传统方式触及的物体的维护。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“If too much ice builds up on wind turbine blades, they will turn more slowly, producing less energy. What’s more, if an equal amount of ice isn’t present on all three blades, the turbine’s balance may be thrown off, leading to increased wear and possibly even disastrous failure.(如果太多的冰积聚在风力涡轮机叶片上，它们就会转得更慢，产生更少的能量。更重要的是，如果三片叶片上没有等量的冰，涡轮机的平衡可能会被打破，导致磨损加剧，甚至可能出现灾难性的故障)”可知，本段主要介绍了风力涡轮机叶片上结冰引发的问题。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“There are anti-icing heating systems that can be built into the blades, but these may be beyond the financial means of many wind farm (风电场) operators.(可以在叶片中安装防冰加热系统，但这可能超出了许多风电场运营商的经济能力)”可知，防冰加热系统太过昂贵(expensive)，许多风电场运营商无法承受，故。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The scientists are now seeking industry partners to help commercialize (商业化) the TURBO technology. It could also find use in the maintenance (维护) of power lines, the upper levels of tall buildings, or other things that are difficult to reach by conventional means.(科学家们现在正在寻找行业合作伙伴，以帮助将TURBO技术商业化。它还可以用于维护电力线、高层建筑的上层，或其他传统手段难以到达的地方)”可知，TURBO技术具有更广泛的应用范围，还可以用于维护电力线、高层建筑的上层，或其他传统手段难以到达的地方。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第段中“Not unlike the wings of airplanes, the blades (叶片) of wind turbines (涡轮机) need to be kept ice-free in order to function properly. Scientists have now developed an inexpensive method of using drones (无人机) to apply an eco-friendly anti-icing coating (涂层) to those blades.(与飞机的机翼不同，风力涡轮机的叶片需要保持无冰状态才能正常工作。科学家们现在已经开发出一种廉价的方法，利用无人机在这些叶片上涂上环保的防冰涂层)”可知，文章介绍了科学家开发了一种使用无人机为风力涡轮机叶片涂抹环保防冰涂层的方法。该方法经济有效，可以防止叶片结冰以保证风力涡轮机正常运行。故“Drones Protect Wind Turbines From Icing(无人机保护风力涡轮机不结冰)”是最佳标题。故选B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。 Everyone makes mistakes.

He never finished college, so he had to take hard labor jobs around the neighborhood. He worked as a builder and a carpenter through the years. He often helped his neighbors whenever he was needed. However, as he grew older, he could no longer do these jobs. His knees grew weak, and his health condition made it difficult for him to do hard work. Steven’s kids didn’t live in the same state as him and could only send him a small sum of money because they also led a poor life. Unfortunately, Steven experienced constant physical pain after years of hard work, and he needed to take medicine every day. The money offered by his kids was only enough for food, and his savings were small. Realizing that he needed more money, Steven decided to get a job again. He eventually found a job as a doorkeeper. At first, his salary was enough to pay for the groceries and the medicine he needed. However, due to his advanced age, he started to need more medicine, which cost a lot. To pay the growing bills, Steven began to take items from his home to a second-hand store to get some money. One day, as he was carrying an old radio to the store, his neighbor, Ben, saw him. “Mr. Green, it’s so good to see you! How have you been?” Ben asked. “I’m doing great. I’m just selling some stuff at home that I don’t need anymore for some cash. Being weak is terrible when you’re old, so take care of yourself when you are young, alright?” he said almost jokingly. Ben nodded. “Thanks for the tip, Mr. Green!” he said before waving goodbye. That same day, Steven was cooking dinner when he heard the doorbell ring. Not expecting anyone, he walked curiously to the door. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按以下格式作答。 Surprisingly, he saw Ben standing there with a jacket in his arms. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Ben must have forgotten about the check in the pocket,” Steven thought. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Surprisingly, he saw Ben standing there with a jacket in his arms. “Earlier today, I noticed you weren’t wearing a jacket. It’s getting cold these days, so I want to give you this jacket as a gift,” Ben said, handing Steven the coat. Steven accepted the gift and thanked Ben a lot. The next day, Steven wore the jacket to work. Feeling cold, he put his hands inside the pockets. Then he found there was something inside. To his surprise, it was a check for $ 200! “Ben must have forgotten about the check inside the pocket,” Steven thought. He then went to Ben’s house. “I believe this is yours,” Steven said, showing Ben the check. But Ben shook his head and said the check was Steven’s. Seeing Steven’s confused face, Ben explained Steven had helped his mom a lot and that he had never had a chance to repay Steven’s kindness before. Therefore, when he realized Steven needed help, he decided to reach out. Hearing those words, Steven was so touched that he hugged Ben tightly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，这篇文章讲述了一个名叫Steven Green的人一生勤劳工作来养家糊口，但年老后由于身体状况变差而失去工作能力。他的子女住在另一个州，无法给他太多的钱，他开始出售自己的物品来应付日益增加的医疗费用。他的邻居Ben注意到了他的困境并送了他一件夹克衫作为礼物。Steven发现夹克衫口袋里有一张200美元的支票，并反问Ben是否丢失了这张支票。Ben解释说这是他对Steven一直以来的帮助的回报。听到这番话，Steven非常感动，紧紧拥抱了Ben。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令人惊讶的是，他看到Ben站在那里，怀里抱着一件夹克。”可知，第一段可描写Ben帮助Steven送给他一件外套夹克；同时描述Steven在夹克中发现了200美元的支票。 ②由第二段首句内容““Ben一定是忘了口袋里的支票，”Steven 想。”可知，第二段可描写steven送还支票给Ben，Ben向其解释帮助他的理由，由此Steven十分感动。 2.续写线索：Ben赠送Steven夹克——Steven表示感谢——Steven发现夹克中的现金——Steven找到Ben并要归还该现金——Ben解释原因——Steven十分感动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①给：give/offer ②发现：find/notice/discover ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] “Earlier today, I noticed you weren’t wearing a jacket.

Nasser, one of the divers, climbed over the railing of the ship and his Saib emptied his basket full of shells onto the deck. “Get me something to fill my stomach with, boy.” I knew he was teasing as he is my father’s good friend. “But I’m no longer an errand boy. I’m a diver, like my father was.” “Your father was bald and deaf, like the rest of us,” Nasser laughed. The salty Arabian Gulf produced the finest pearls in the world while the salty water also made divers lose their hair. Let alone the high pressure which cost them their hearing. I had shaved my head, in which way I felt more like a real diver. Of course, there’s no need for me to worry about the hair problem. “I’ve dived the shallow seas before, and I can hold my breath fora whole minute.” “Just pull your rope before you feel breathless.” He then disappeared into the water again. I tied a heavy stone to my foot with a rope. Taking one more deep breath. I plugged my nose and jumped. With the stone finally hitting the seabed with a thump. I freed my foot from the rope. I scratched at the rocky ridge (脊), when three oysters dropped into my hands. I even didn’t have enough time to feel surprised at how easy the job was before I felt breathless. Out of honor, I dragged the rope. Knowing that, tar above, the Saib’s strong arms strained to pull me toward the surface. I reminded myself to endure for a little more time. Just when I thought my lungs would burst, my cars popped and there was light. Nasser burst through the water. He removed his nose plug and grinned at me looking at the three pitiful shells on the deck. “Not bad for an errand boy.” Seeing me upset with my head down, he patted me “It’s your first for such a depth. You did better than all of us.” Cheering up, I wrapped the empty basket around my neck and raised my chin, “I’m a pearl diver.” 1. According to Nasser, what did an errand boy usually do? A. Pull divers from the sea. B. Empty baskets for divers. C. Serve snacks for divers. D. Dive for shells. 2. Why did the author have his hair cut? A. Because he tried to avoid losing hair. B. Because all divers had shaved hair. C. Because high pressure made him bald. D. Because he wanted to look professional. 3. Why did the author get little harvest? A. Because there were not many pearls in the area. B. Because he still lacked experience in the job. C. Because the Saib pulled him up too early without permission. D. Because the rocky ridge was too rough. B Nathan Smith is captain of Port Vale FC, and Tom Conlon has just signed for Oldham Athletic of the National League. These two football players, both 27, feel they have a responsibility to pass on lessons they learnt to the next generation. They founded the Pro Level coaching school in 2021, offering free weekly classes at Keele University, in Staffordshire. To keep the academy run well, they then launched a charity to help children from all backgrounds and abilities get the most from the sport. They see the charity as an “antidote” to the football system, which has been heavily criticised for putting too much pressure on youngsters before many of them are thrown away. Although Nathan and Tom work with the abandoned players, trying to rebuild their confidence and love of the game, they stress that ability is not a criterion for attending the training. They will provide some vital life lessons along the way, helping young people to overcome their shyness and become better communicators, and also support young players who have been rejected by professional clubs at an early age and feel football has little to offer them. Tom said, “The sort of coaching shouldn’t just be for those who long to be the stars of the future-all children can benefit from the tactical (战术的), fitness and mentality work we do. Childhood has become increasingly challenging. We are looking to provide a place for all children to feel proud of who they are.” “I want to offer them the same experience that’s helped shape the person I am now. And we see the children that we are coaching overcome their shyness and lack of confidence. You can see them growing as young people, developing relationship, becoming better communicators and socializing with others, “added Nathan. Emily Cherry, director of the charity, said, “I’ve seen the boys coach and the difference it makes to the children. The kids benefit massively, and not just in terms of soccer skills.” 4. Why did Tom Conlon and Nathan Smith found the coaching school? A. To raise money for children. B. To hunt for professional coaches. C. To train excellent football players. D. To transform children through football. 5. Which is the closest in meaning to “antidote” in paragraph 2? A. Solution. B. Addition. C. Organisation. D. Shelter 6 What does children need most according to the text? A Soccer skills. B. Free coaching C. Life skills. D. Physical fitness. 7. What does Emily Cherry think of the coaching school? A. It becomes a hit. B. It needs to be improved. C. It makes much profit. D. It makes much difference. C Packaging can play a greater role in keeping produce and other foods fresh, therefore minimizing food waste — especially if consumers can better understand those packaging technologies. That’s among the takeaways of research led by Michigan State University (MSU)’s School of Packaging, detailed in a recently released white paper. In the United States, food waste in landfills doubled from 1990 to 2020, according to data shared by the US Environmental Protection Agency this year. Researchers cited data showing 40% of the food supply is wasted each year, with 43% of that happening at the consumer or household level. Ameripen, the only organization exclusively focused on US public policy for the entire packaging industry, and the Environmental Research & Education Foundation funded research that included a survey of more than 1,000 people in the United States. Ameripen said it wanted to know what role packaging could play in reducing household food waste as well as understand consumer awareness of food packaging’s value and functions. The survey asked consumers about their understanding of packaging forms and willingness to pay more for packaging designed to reduce food waste, among other areas. The study found that whole fruits and vegetables, particularly bananas and lettuce, are the foods most wasted by households, with dairy products, prepared packaged foods and leftovers also common culprits (罪魁祸首). “Half-eaten packaged food products and food without packaging that went bad before it was eaten are the two primary reasons for food waste in American households, indicating there is opportunity for improved packaging design to help consumers with extending shelf life, reuse and size,” the white paper states. Researchers reported that while consumers’ current understanding of packaging technologies was “limited”, they indicated “they would pay more for food contained in packaging that extends freshness and shelf life.” “There’s a need to design packaging for produce that is currently not packaged; that most of the produce in this study was wasted is because there is no packaging at all,” MSU’s Korey Fennel said during the webinar (网络研讨会), also noting the importance of “intelligent packaging” that could indicate the shelf life of food products. 8. What does the underlined word “minimizing” in the first paragraph mean? A. Showing. B. Continuing. C. Recovering. D. Reducing. 9. What does the author intend to do in the second paragraph? A. Summarize the previous paragraph. B. Provide some advice for the readers. C. Add some background information. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion. 10. How did the researchers conduct their study? A. By making observations. B. By asking questions. C. By carrying out experiments. D. By referring to former studies. 11. What is the consumers’ attitude to purchasing packaged food according to the study? A. Cautious. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Favorable. D Not unlike the wings of airplanes, the blades (叶片) of wind turbines (涡轮机) need to be kept ice-free in order to function properly. Scientists have now developed an inexpensive method of using drones (无人机) to apply an eco-friendly anti-icing coating (涂层) to those blades. If too much ice builds up on wind turbine blades, they will turn more slowly, producing less energy. What’s more, if an equal amount of ice isn’t present on all three blades, the turbine’s balance may be thrown off, leading to increased wear and possibly even disastrous failure. There are anti-icing heating systems that can be built into the blades, but these may be beyond the financial means of many wind farm (风电场) operators. The same can be said for using helicopters to apply ice-prevention chemicals. Seeking a more economical but still effective alternative, scientists from two branches of Germany’s Fraunhofer research group recently started looking to drones. The research project is known as “TURBO: Temporary coating by means of drones — Icing protection of wind turbines as a case study”. In the current version of the resulting system, a hexacopter drone is equipped with a small pump that delivers anti-icing liquid. The liquid is sprayed (喷洒) at high pressure — which is just 0. 3 mm wide — producing tiny droplets with a diameter of 100 micrometers. Using this setup, the drone has successfully been used to apply coatings of the droplets onto the edges of wind turbine blades, even at wind speeds of up to 35 km/h (22 mph). Once solidified (固化/凝固), those coatings prevent ice formation for several weeks before a fresh coating is applied. The scientists are now seeking industry partners to help commercialize (商业化) the TURBO technology. It could also find use in the maintenance (维护) of power lines, the upper levels of tall buildings, or other things that are difficult to reach by conventional means. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Problems caused by icing. B. The process of ice formation. C. Disasters brought about by drones. D. The function of wind turbines. 13. Which word can best describe anti-icing heating systems? A. Ineffective. B. Unnecessary. C. Expensive. D. Dangerous. 14. What can we learn about the TURBO technology from the last paragraph? A. It has a wider range of applications. B. It is a relatively traditional approach. C. It can solve the problem once and for all (一劳永逸). D. It is more costly than using ice-prevention chemicals. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Advantages of Using Wind Energy B. Drones Protect Wind Turbines From Icing C. Wind Turbines Remove Ice on Their Own D.

He never finished college, so he had to take hard labor jobs around the neighborhood. He worked as a builder and a carpenter through the years. He often helped his neighbors whenever he was needed. However, as he grew older, he could no longer do these jobs. His knees grew weak, and his health condition made it difficult for him to do hard work. Steven’s kids didn’t live in the same state as him and could only send him a small sum of money because they also led a poor life. Unfortunately, Steven experienced constant physical pain after years of hard work, and he needed to take medicine every day. The money offered by his kids was only enough for food, and his savings were small. Realizing that he needed more money, Steven decided to get a job again. He eventually found a job as a doorkeeper. At first, his salary was enough to pay for the groceries and the medicine he needed. However, due to his advanced age, he started to need more medicine, which cost a lot. To pay the growing bills, Steven began to take items from his home to a second-hand store to get some money. One day, as he was carrying an old radio to the store, his neighbor, Ben, saw him. “Mr. Green, it’s so good to see you! How have you been?” Ben asked. “I’m doing great. I’m just selling some stuff at home that I don’t need anymore for some cash. Being weak is terrible when you’re old, so take care of yourself when you are young, alright?” he said almost jokingly. Ben nodded. “Thanks for the tip, Mr. Green!” he said before waving goodbye. That same day, Steven was cooking dinner when he heard the doorbell ring. Not expecting anyone, he walked curiously to the door. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按以下格式作答。 Surprisingly, he saw Ben standing there with a jacket in his arms. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Ben must have forgotten about the check in the pocket,” Steven thought. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1~5 BABCA 6~10 CBBAC 11~15 ACBCC 16~20 ABAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
