I’m writing to apply to work as a part-time interpreter in your company. I have a good command of spoken English, which enables me to communicate with others in English with great fluency. Moreover, I have won the first prize in an English speech contest held in our school and I was awarded the best singer in an English singing contest last month. The part-time job appeals to me a lot and I also wonder when I am supposed to work for your company if I am luckily chosen. I will be more than grateful if I am given a chance. I am convinced that I will perfectly live up to your expectations. Looking forward to your early reply. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 George stared at the ground, thinking hard. That cap would make Ronny feel he really belonged to the fellow group. But he himself had longed for it so much. He bit his lower lips, with his hand tightly clutching the dollar. Ronny’s words constantly flashed through his mind. It hit him that he should do something nice for Ronny. He bent down and gave a shout, “Look! Look here!” They all crowded around. There almost hidden in the leaves was the unmistakable green of a dollar bill! Overwhelmingly excited and delighted, Ronny picked up the bill. “Come on!” someone shouted, and they then made a dash for the store. “Why not come together and get something else with your dollar?” Beth asked George. Forcing a smile, George showed Beth the empty pocket. Eyes wide open, Beth uttered in surprise, “George, you didn’t really find Ronny’s dollar. It was yours.” George nodded, a broad smile flickering across his face. He explained in a calm tone that the baseball cap mattered a lot more to Ronny. With the cap, he thought, Ronny would feel it easier to fit in with others. After knowing what her brother had done, Beth felt a flush of pride flooding over her. And not far away from them, Ronny was among the group of boys, wearing his new cap. The look on his face made George feel good-very good. The one dollar had traded what he thought was more than a cap. A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了在11月这个特定时间段内，几个值得推荐的旅游目的地，包括各自的特点和吸引游客的亮点。 【21题详解】细节理解题。根据文章Lanzarote, Canary Islands部分中的“Lanzarote provides an amazing break in November. The first week aside, there are few school holidays this month — a bonus for peace- seekers.(11月的兰萨罗特岛是一个绝佳的度假胜地。除了第一周外，这个月几乎没有学校假期，这对于寻求宁静的人来说是一个额外的优势。)”可知，Lanzarote是一个适合喜欢安静的人的旅游目的地。故选B。 【22题详解】细节理解题。根据文章Jackson Hole, Wyoming部分中的“No matter when you’re planning your trip, you should book early.(无论你计划何时出行，都应该尽早预订。)”以及“Vancouver Island, Canada”部分中的“Remember that you must order the ferries(渡船)from the mainland ahead of time.(记住，你必须提前从大陆预订渡船。)”可知，Jackson Hole和Vancouver Island的共同点是都需要提前预订。故选A。 【23题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“November is often overlooked as December approaches, but it’s an ideal time to arrange an escape from the dull skies of northern Europe. Here’s our pick of the best holiday destinations in November.(随着12月的临近，11月往往被忽视，但它是逃离北欧单调天空的理想时机。以下是我们精选的11月最佳度假目的地。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了四个在11月适合旅游的目的地，对每个地方的特色进行了描述，如冰岛的冰川洞、加那利群岛的兰萨罗特岛、美国怀俄明州的杰克逊霍尔和加拿大的温哥华岛。这种内容明显是为了给读者提供旅游建议和指南，所以文章可能出自一本导游手册。故选C。 B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Anantawan出生时就失去了大部分右前臂，家人选择让他学习小提琴，经过努力，最终Anantawan能够进行小提琴演出，并努力帮助其他人的故事。 【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“They contacted the Toronto-area hospital near the family, asking them to create an adaptive cast (石膏) on his arm that would allow the then 10-year-old to hold the bow (琴弓).(他们联系了这家附近的多伦多地区医院，请他们在他的手臂上制作一个自适应石膏，让当时10岁的孩子能够握住弓。)”可知，Anantawan的家人和医院联系是为了在他的右臂上加些东西。故选D。 【25题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is the inclusive attitude of teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything.(虽然Anantawan很感谢科技让他和其他残障人士有机会接触音乐，但他说，最重要的是老师、支持者和那些鼓励年轻学习者或音乐家的人的包容态度，告诉他们他们可以做任何事。)”可知，Anantawan认为残疾人接触音乐的关键是包容的态度。故选B。 【26题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Anantawan is working to provide that space for others. As an associate professor at the Berklee College of Music, Anantawan founded the Music Inclusion Ensemble, a group of students with disabilities that provide accommodations for musicians according to their needs. Anantawan hopes to inspire people without being defined only by the challenges they face as a result of their disability.(Anantawan正在努力为其他人提供这样的空间。作为伯克利音乐学院的副教授，阿南塔万创立了“音乐包容合奏团”，这是一个由残疾学生组成的团体，根据音乐家的需要为他们提供便利。Anantawan希望能够激励人们，而不是仅仅用他们因残疾而面临的挑战来定义他们。)”可知，最后一段提到Anantawan为其他人提供这样的空间而付出的努力，即Anantawan将他的时间贡献在了何处。故选C。 【27题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is the inclusive attitude of teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything.(虽然Anantawan很感谢科技让他和其他残障人士有机会接触音乐，但他说，最重要的是老师、支持者和那些鼓励年轻学习者或音乐家的人的包容态度，告诉他们他们可以做任何事。)”以及最后一段“Anantawan is working to provide that space for others.( Anantawan正在努力为其他人提供这样的空间。)”可知，Anantawan懂得感恩并且很善良。故选B。 C【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。 28. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段““A beautiful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place. It’s just that we can’t hear the sounds.” Scientists at Tel Aviv University have conducted a six-year experiment, proving that plants make noise in certain stressful situations.(“一片美丽的花田可能是一个相当嘈杂的地方。只是我们听不到声音。”特拉维夫大学的科学家们进行了一项为期六年的实验，证明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。)”以及第二段“Plants produce a high frequency (频率) clicking sound, and when short of water, or damaged, the clicks become far more regular. They also made different sounds, depending on whether they were thirsty or injured. “Each plant and each type of stress is related to a specific sound,” said Professor Lilach Hadany, who led the research study.(植物会发出高频率的咔哒声，当缺水或受损时，咔哒声会变得更有规律。它们也会发出不同的声音，这取决于它们是口渴还是受伤。“每种植物和每种类型的压力都与一种特定的声音有关，”领导这项研究的利拉克·哈达尼教授说。)”可知，这项为期六年的实验表明植物在有压力的情况下会发出有规律的声音。故选B。 29. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The researchers used an algorithm (算法) to separate the noises, successfully telling the difference between the sounds depending on whether they were dry or cut. The algorithm did this in a greenhouse setting which included far more surrounding sounds, but it was still able to recognize the particular cries for help of the plants.(研究人员使用了一种算法来分离噪音，成功地根据它们缺水还是受到切割来区分声音。该算法在温室环境中进行了这项工作，温室环境中有更多的周围声音，但它仍然能够识别出植物的特殊呼救声。)”可知，该算法用来分离噪音，辨别声音。故选D。 30. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“A study led by Reda Hassanien of China Agriculural University in Beijing years ago, also proved that plants reacted to sound waves, with some plants greatly increasing their yield. While evidence shows that plants can react to sounds, there’s no evidence today that they can actually hear them.(几年前，中国农业大学的Reda Hassanien领导的一项研究也证明了植物对声波的反应，一些植物的产量大大提高。虽然有证据表明植物可以对声音做出反应，但现在还没有证据表明它们真的能听到声音。)”可知，植物可以发出声音并对声波做出反应。故选C。 31. 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段““A beautiful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place. It’s just that we can’t hear the sounds.” Scientists at Tel Aviv University have conducted a six-year experiment, proving that plants make noise in certain stressful situations.(“一片美丽的花田可能是一个相当嘈杂的地方。只是我们听不到声音。”特拉维夫大学的科学家们进行了一项为期六年的实验，证明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。所以“Plants Talk, Especially When Stressed(植物会说话，尤其是在有压力的时候)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 D【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲现在美国的航空公司希望用玉米为飞机提供动力。 32. 推理判断题。根据第一段“What once was forest today produces the corn that feeds people, cattle and, when made into ethanol(乙醇), cars.(昔日的森林如今变成了玉米地，可以供养人、养牛，在玉米制成乙醇后，还能为汽车提供燃料。)”和第二段中的“ Now, the nation’s airlines want to power their planes with corn, too.(现在，美国的航空公司也想用玉米为飞机提供燃料。)”可知，玉米将成为燃料工业中有影响力的来源。故选C项。 33. 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The airlines’ ambitious goal would likely require nearly doubling ethanol production, which airlines say, with great expectation, would decrease their greenhouse gas emissions. If they succeed, it could transform America’s Corn Belt, stimulating farmers and ethanol producers, but potentially further damaging one of the nation’s most important resources: groundwater.(航空公司雄心勃勃的目标可能需要将乙醇产量增加近一倍，航空公司满怀期望地表示，乙醇产量将减少温室气体排放。如果他们成功了，这可能会改变美国的玉米带， 农民和乙醇生产商，但可能会进一步损害美国最重要的资源之一：地下水。)”以及从该词后的 but可知， stimulating 和后文的“damaging one of the nation’s most important resources: groundwater.(损害美国最重要的资源之一：地下水)”构成转折关系，所以猜测 stimulating应表示“刺激”。故选B项。 34. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Corn requires a lot of water to grow and it can take hundreds of gallons to produce a single gallon of ethanol. But as airlines take the idea of ethanol, the vital groundwater faces serious risks. (玉米的生长需要大量的水，而生产一加仑乙醇可能需要数百加仑的水。但随着航空公司采用乙醇的想法，重要的地下水面临着严重的风险。)”可知，燃料中乙醇使用增加的潜在风险是对地下水的压力更大。故选D项。 35. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It pointed to a 2022 department study that concluded that the United States could significantly reduce pressure on groundwater by shifting fuel production away from water-intensive crops like corn, instead growing more crops that don’t require irrigation(灌溉), like various types of straw, grasses and trees. Hopefully, a better approach will be soon studied and adopted.(它指出，2022年国务院的一项研究得出结论，美国可以通过将燃料生产从玉米等耗水作物转向种植更多不需要灌溉的作物，如各种类型的秸秆、草和树木，来显著减轻地下水压力。希望不久将研究并采用一种更好的方法。)”可知，2022年的研究建议使用一些替代材料来生产燃料。故选B项。 七选五 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了如何成立一个学生社团。 36. 上文“Starting a club is a great way to meet new people, explore your interests, and show leadership on college applications.(成立一个社团是结识新朋友、探索你的兴趣、在大学申请中展示领导力的好方法)”提到成立一个社团的好处，下文是成立社团的四个步骤，G项“这里有四个步骤来在你的学校创建一个全新的社团”承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 37. 根据上文“What type of club you’re interested in creating?(你想创建什么样的社团？)”和下文“Then, try to consider club themes and projects(然后，试着考虑社团的主题和计划)”可知，此处是关于社团的主题，F项“选择你喜欢并想要进一步探索的主题”符合语境，故选F。 38. 空处是本段主题句，根据下文“Once you have defined the club’s purpose, map out a clearer picture of how the club will be structured.(一旦你确定了社团的目的，你就可以更清楚地描绘出社团将如何组织的蓝图)”可知，本段是关于社团的结构，B项“设计社团的结构”符合语境，故选B。 39. 根据下文“He or she should have experience or interest in the subject of the club you are creating.(他或她应该对你正在创建的俱乐部的主题有经验或兴趣)”可知，空处应是提及某个人，C项“选择一位社团顾问也是关键的一步”符合语境，故选C。 40. 上文“Put up posters which are eye-catching and easy to read or advertise the club on the school’s website.(张贴醒目易读的海报或在学校网站上为社团做广告)”提到了一些宣传方法，D项“你会发现它们对推销俱乐部很有效”说明上述方法的作用，符合语境，故选D。 完型 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己年轻时放弃体育锻炼而成为一名作家，之后又再次成为篮球团队中的一员，并感受到运动带来的快乐和放松。

M: No, I've only just finished the bathroom. It's taken such a long time. I've still got the kitchen and the living room to do. Text 2 M: Okay, Madam. May I see your driver's licence, please? W: What? Did I do anything wrong? I am wearing a seat belt. Oh, is it because one of my lights is out? M: Madam, did you realize you were going 60 miles per hour in a 30 miles per hour zone? Text 3 W: The movie doesn't start until later. I was thinking we could get some food first. M: I'm not that hungry. I still need to get my mum a Christmas present. Maybe we could check out a few stores? W: Sure. Let me just grab a snack before we go. Text 4 M: Excuse me, do you have the book called Leading from the Library? W: Yes. We have only one left in store. You can get a 10% discount for it. M: Great. I'll take it. Text 5 W: Henry, do you know Hafthor Julius Bjornsson? M: Certainly. He played the character called The Mountain in my favourite TV series Game of Thrones. He's very strong and big, so he's very impressive. Text 6 M: Has it been a long tiring day, honey? W: Yes. I can hardly keep my eyes open now. I started working at my computer at nine o'clock this morning and I don't think I looked away until five. M: Really? No breaks at all? W: Not one. M: Well, you're home now. Just relax and have an early night. W: I wish I could. But now I have to cook dinner. The kids need to be fed. M: Oh, don't worry about that. I'll take care of it. W: Thank you. You are so sweet. Text 7 M: Are you excited about the charity tennis match this weekend? W: Yes, it should be a lot of fun, and most importantly we should be able to get a lot of money for the local children's hospital. M: How do you plan on getting to the tennis courts in Kings Park? W: Of course, I won't be walking there. Maybe taking the subway is the best choice. Traffic can be pretty bad on the weekends, and it might be hard to find a parking space. Right, Desmond? M: Well, there are usually plenty of spots on Rickard Avenue, and that's just a 5-minute walk from the courts. So, I'll probably drive then. W: So, do you want to meet for breakfast before the event begins? M: Sure. I need to be at the park by 9:30 a.m., so let's meet one hour before that. Text 8 M: What are you doing, Lisa? W: Watching a German film. I'm going to spend all next year in Germany, and I think I should know more about its culture. M: You mean you have been accepted into the programme? W: I sure have. M: That's wonderful. You must be excited. W: Excited but nervous. You know I have to work on some basic conversation skills. M: How much German can you understand? W: Only a little now. But I'm going to take a special language class next month. M: I wish I were as clever as you are at foreign languages. I would love to study abroad. W: Then why don't you? The school has a lot of programmes that don't require the knowledge of a foreign language. You can have a try. M: I thought all programmes required one to know a foreign language. Thank you for letting me know this. Text 9 M: Hi, professor. I was hoping I could have a moment of your time if you're not too busy. I'm having some problems getting started on my paper and hoping you could give me some advice. W: Sure. Can you remind me what your topic is? M: The general topic I chose is beauty, but that's as far as I've got. I don't really know where to go from there. W: Yeah, that's much too large a topic. You really need to narrow it down in order to make it more accessible. Otherwise, you'll be writing a book. M: Exactly. That's what I wanted to ask you about. I was hoping it would be possible for me to change topics. I'm really more interested in nature than beauty. W: I'm afraid you have to stick to the assigned topic. Still, since you're interested in nature, then that certainly can be worked into your paper. We've talked about Hume before in class, right? M: Oh yeah, he's the philosopher who wrote about where our ideas of beauty come from. W: Exactly. I suggest you search for some information about him in the library and start from there. M: Great. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, professor. W: If there's anything else you need, please come to see me in my office at any time. Text 10 Nicholas Sparks is an American author and storyteller whose books have consistently been turned into major Hollywood films. Although not all of his books were sold to Hollywood, all have been The New York Times best-sellers. He has sold over 97 million copies worldwide, with over 65 million of them within the United States alone. He lives with his family in North Carolina. He is also considered to be very generous with his money. In 2011, he created the Nicholas Sparks Foundation to make more opportunities available to children from poor families. His foundation, which he started with his wife, creates scholarships for children from low-income families in rural communities. Sparks has had a very successful career, and he owes that to education. "The education I received prepared me for the world I would be facing in the future," he said. Even though he is worth an estimated 75 million dollars or so, Sparks seems to live the values he presents in his books.

Here’s our pick of the best holiday destinations in November. Vatnajökull, Iceland Iceland’s name becomes increasingly accurate in November, as sub-zero temperatures arrive more frequently. This is the best time for tourists to enter into the heavenly world of ice caves—more accurately, glacier caves—as these changing holes need to be safely frozen before they can be explored. Lanzarote, Canary Islands Lanzarote provides an amazing break in November. The first week aside, there are few school holidays this month—a bonus for peace-seekers. With gardens designed by the famous Lanzarote architect César Manrique, Meliá Salinas is a big-name resort (度假胜地) with local style, set between two beaches. Jackson Hole, Wyoming During the winter, Jackson Hole is a wonderland of snow skiing, snowmobiling and ice- skating. If you’re looking for some fast-paced family fun, try the Alpine Slide, where you can slide down 2,500 feet of Snow King Mountain in a bobsled (雪车). No matter when you’re planning your trip, you should book early. Vancouver Island, Canada Part of British Columbia, Vancouver Island was originally the land of the Kwakwaka’ wakw, Nuu- chah-nulth and Coast Salish peoples. Today, the island is valuing the original cultures more and more. Planning means you can take your time seeking out activities that celebrate native people’s culture. Remember that you must order the ferries (渡船) from the mainland ahead of time. 21. Where would tourists preferring quiet destinations like to go? A. Vatnajökull. B. Lanzarote. C. Jackson Hole. D. Vancouver Island. 22. What do the last two destinations have in common? A. They need to book in advance. B. They have colourful cultures. C. They are famous for snow sports. D. They are suitable for all the family. 23. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A coursebook. B. A survey report. C. A guidebook. D. A geographical paper. B Anantawan was born without most of his right forearm. The disability was a barrier to music when, in fifth grade, he said his music teacher wanted all the students to learn to play the recorder (竖笛). Instead of giving up, Anantawan and his parents decided to find him a different instrument to explore his musical talent. “My family chose the violin because they thought it was the most beautiful instrument,” Anantawan saiD. They contacted the Toronto-area hospital near the family, asking them to create an adaptive cast (石膏) on his arm that would allow the then 10-year-old to hold the bow (琴弓). A group of engineers worked alongside Anantawan to build a special device. With it, Anantawan could use the bow and use his shoulder to make the sound. “From the very first note that I was playing, I was really attracted to the sound and the connection of my body to the instrument and being able to express my imagination,” he said. Although Anantawan is grateful for the technology that allows him and others with disabilities to find access to music, he said the most important part of access is the inclusive attitude of teachers, supporters and those who encourage young learners or musicians by telling them they can do anything. Anantawan is working to provide that space for others. As an associate professor at the Berklee College of Music, Anantawan founded the Music Inclusion Ensemble, a group of students with disabilities that provide accommodations for musicians according to their needs. Anantawan hopes to inspire people without being defined only by the challenges they face as a result of their disability. 24. Why did Anantawan’s family get in touch with the hospital? A. To find a man-made hand for him. B. To inspire him to learn to play the recorder. C. To gain advice on adapting a violin. D. To add something to his right arm. 25. What does Anantawan think is the key to the disabled’s access to music? A. Fair competition. B. Inclusive attitudes. C. Enough resources. D. Lasting cooperation. 26. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Why Anantawan becomes active. B. Who Anantawan plays music with. C. What Anantawan contributes his time to. D. How Anantawan lives in his free time. 27. Which of the following can best describe Anantawan? A. Open-minded and sporty. B. Appreciative and kind. C. Wealthy and humorous. D. Calm and lonely. C “A beautiful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place. It’s just that we can’t hear the sounds.” Scientists at Tel Aviv University have conducted a six-year experiment, proving that plants make noise in certain stressful situations. Plants produce a high frequency (频率) clicking sound, and when short of water, or damaged, the clicks become far more regular. They also made different sounds, depending on whether they were thirsty or injured. “Each plant and each type of stress is related to a specific sound,” said Professor Lilach Hadany, who led the research study. Focusing particularly on tomatoes, wheat and corn, the plants were placed in a soundproof (隔音的) room and recorded by microphones. Some plants were starved of water, others cut, and a control group was left undamaged. The researchers used an algorithm (算法) to separate the noises, successfully telling the difference between the sounds depending on whether they were dry or cut. The algorithm did this in a greenhouse setting which included far more surrounding sounds, but it was still able to recognize the particular cries for help of the plants. On average, the human ear can hear sounds up to around 20kHz, while the sounds produced by plants are in the 40-80kHz region, far beyond our hearing. “The sounds made by plants can’t be heard by humans but can probably be heard by various animals, such as bats, mice and insects,” Hadany tells us. Though this has yet to be proven, it’s possible that these creatures use this information to choose which plants to eat. A study led by Reda Hassanien of China Agricultural University in Beijing years ago, also proved that plants reacted to sound waves, with some plants greatly increasing their yield. While evidence shows that plants can react to sounds, there’s no evidence today that they can actually hear them. 28. What can we know from the six-year experiment? A. Plants of different types make the sound of the same frequency. B. Plants produce more regular sound in certain stressful situations. C. Plants make sounds with a much lower frequency when stressed. D. Plants make the sound of the same frequency whatever the situation. 29. What is the algorithm used for in the research? A. To record the sounds. B. To control the sounds. C. To produce the sounds. D. To identify the sounds. 30. What has been proven by scientists according to the passage? A. Plants can hear each other’s cry for help. B. Animals can hear the sounds made by plants. C. Plants can make sounds and respond to sound waves. D. Animals decide what to eat based on the sounds plants make. 31. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Sounds That We Can’t Hear B. Beautiful Songs from Plants C. Plants React to Different Types of Stress D. Plants Talk, Especially When Stressed D Vast lands of America are dominated by corn, nearly 100 macres of it, stretching from Ohio to the Dakotas. What once was forest today produces the corn that feeds people, cattle and, when made into ethanol (乙醇), cars. Now, the nation’s airlines want to power their planes with corn, too. United Airlines signed a deal with a Nebraska ethanol company to buy enough sustainable fuel, to power 50,000 flights a year. The government could decide on its tax incentives (税收激励) for the industry as soon as December. “Mark my words, the next 20 years, corn farmers are going to provide 95% of all the sustainable airline fuel,” President Biden said in July. The airlines’ ambitious goal would likely require nearly doubling ethanol production, which airlines say, with great expectation, would decrease their greenhouse gas emissions. If they succeed, it could transform America’s Corn Belt, stimulating farmers and ethanol producers, but potentially further damaging one of the nation’s most important resources: groundwater. Corn requires a lot of water to grow and it can take hundreds of gallons to produce a single gallon of ethanol. But as airlines take the idea of ethanol, the vital groundwater faces serious risks. “We’re on track to massively increase water usage without any real sense of how sensitive our groundwater is,” said Jeffrey Broberg, who is concerned about groundwater in Minnesota, a major corn state. The Department of Energy said in a statement that “water use is a critical part of the conversation surrounding bio-energy sustainability”. It pointed to a 2022 department study that concluded that the United States could significantly reduce pressure on groundwater by shifting fuel production away from water-intensive crops like corn, instead growing more crops that don’t require irrigation (灌溉), like various types of straw, grasses and trees. Hopefully, a better approach will be soon studied and adopted. 32. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Farmers will increase 95% of their ethanol production. B. The sustainable fuel will not be popular in the future. C. Corn will be an influential source in the fuel industry. D. The government stops the new fuel for the groundwater. 33. What does the underlined word “stimulating” mean in paragraph 3? A. Preventing. B. Inspiring. C. Destroying. D. Impressing. 34. What is the potential risk of the increased use of ethanol in fuel? A. The shortage of corn production. B. The increase in global warming. C. A rise in clean-energy tax credits. D. Higher stress on the groundwater. 35. What did the 2022 study suggest according to the last paragraph? A. Expand the corn planting area. B. Use some alternative materials. C. Cut down the daily water usage. D. Turn to the government for help. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项。 How to Set up a Student Club Starting a club is a great way to meet new people, explore your interests, and show leadership on college applications. 36 Identify a need.

He walked so fast that his sister Beth had to run. “Do you have to hurry like that?” she puffed. On his way from school he had seen that baseball cap in Rogers’ store window. Only a dollar and this was the last cap! George had looked at the cap a long time. He wanted it more than anything. Every boy at school had one. George thought of his piggy hank, into which he put every coin for running errands (差使) for his family and neighbors. George raced home, not stopping for anything. He held the fat iron pig, opened it carefully, and poured out the coins. Ten...twenty...thirty...ninety cents. If only he had one more dime (一角硬币)! Lost in thought, George stared out the window. “What’s wrong, George?” asked Mother George told about the money and the cap. “If you give me what you have, I’ll add a dime,” Mother said, handing him a dollar bill. George jumped up. “Oh, thanks, Mom. That’s great!” George gave all his coins to Mother and took the dollar bill. And away went George and Beth to the store with the dollar bill in George’s pocket. They turned the last comer. Ahead was a group of boys and girls, talking heatedly and looking down at the sidewalk. One of the children was Ronny, a new boy who had been in this town only a short time. Ronny’s father had been sick, so there wasn’t much money for extras—like baseball cap. “What’s the matter?” Beth asked, anxiously. “It’s Ronny,” answered one of them. “He’s been working and finally saved up a whole dollar, and now it’s lost!” George went over to Ronny. “We’ll all help look. We’ll find it!” “I was going to get that last cap in Rogers’ window. I wanted it a lot. With that cap, I could join them.” Ronny said slowly. Suddenly George remembered how Ronny had watched the fellows playing baseball, his eyes lighting up eagerly as they shouted and ran. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: George stared at the ground, thinking hard. ____________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Forcing a smile, George showed Beth the empty pocket. __________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
