Babusha,or “eight-step sands”,got its name because the desert was always just eight steps away from the farmers’ doors.Today,the desert’s southward movement has been stopped thanks to a green belt planted in the last 40 years by Guo Wangang and his colleagues.As a result,Guo was named a National Moral Model in 2020.
Guo is only part of the second generation of “soldiers” to fight against the desert.His father was one of the six men who first began planting trees in Babusha.When Guo’s father fell ill in 1983,he hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps.
Guo remembers being reluctant to give up his stable government job.“My father repeatedly stressed that we had to make sure our farms weren’t eaten by the desert,” Guo said,adding that he eventually agreed to work at the farm because he didn’t want to see the trees die.
However,it was the deadly sandstorm in 1993 that turned Guo into a determined “soldier”.The fast moving brown wall of dust reached high into the sky and turned day into night.Guo was working in the desert with his colleagues when it hit.They only managed to get home after trekking for six hours in darkness.Later,he learned that 23 students were found dead in a river as they tried to get home from school during the sandstorm.
Since then,Guo and his colleagues have continued planting trees every spring and fall,pruning(修剪) them in winter and watching out for fire.Their struggle continues.Today more and more young people have joined with scientific and innovative methods.For example,the farm now is subsidized(资助) by Ant Forest,a public welfare project launched by the e-commerce giant,Alibaba.It rewards users with virtual energy in exchange for low-carbon activities,which can then be used to do things,like having trees planted.
“We need more such young people to help us find other advanced and engineering methods for desertification control,” said Guo Wangang.

Massimo Bottura is a widely celebrated cook.A restaurant he opened 27 years ago in Italy has twice been named the best in the world.He owns restaurants in several countries.He is also the author of several books and one of the stars of a popular Netflix series.
At Refettorio Ambrosiano started by Bottura,the menu changes daily,depending on what comes with the morning’s delivery.One morning,the delivery contains chicken close to its sell-by date and oranges too ugly for the store.By dinner,these supermarket castoffs(废弃物) have been changed.About 100 people—refugees,the homeless,and the unemployed—enjoy the meal with obvious pleasure.For an hour,they can forget about life’s challenges.
Bottura’s Refettorios are not restaurants;they’re soup kitchens.Bottura thinks of them as places that shine a light on the dignity of their guests while focusing attention on the food-waste problem.
Bottura came up with the idea of Refettorio Ambrosiano in 2015.Organizers of the World Expo,in Milan,had invited him to cook for its opening.Bottura suggested something different.He wanted to invite the world’s best chefs to cook with him for the city’s homeless people,using surplus(剩余的) food.A theater in one of the city’s most run-down neighborhoods was arranged for that.Bottura turned it into a dining room for needy people.
Today,the Refettorio is “a movement”,Bottura says.“It is a model for fighting food waste and being alone on the front lines.We treat our guests like we do at our restaurants.That’s the warm hug we are giving.We are saying,‘Welcome.This is a beautiful place,and it’s your place.This is the food that we cook for you.We are here for you.’”
Turning basic ingredients(原料) into palatable dishes is Bottura’s magic.He credits his grandmother with teaching him how.“Hers was the original no-waste kitchen,” he says.“What you think is food waste is just an opportunity to create something amazing.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了大厨Massimo Bottura利用原本会被浪费掉的原材料给需要的人做出美味食物,回馈社会。
28.Which of the following is a feature of Refettorio Ambrosiano?
A.Mainly serving people in need.
B.Only serving 100 people daily.
C.Serving the same dishes every day.
D.Serving food using rare ingredients.
答案 A

29.Why is Bottura’s experience in Milan in 2015 mentioned?
A.To show his popularity back then.
B.To praise him as a creative person.
C.To set him as an example for other cooks.
D.To introduce the background of Refettorio Ambrosiano.

30.What does Bottura consider important when running Refettorios?
A.His restaurants reducing food waste.
B.His restaurants saving operating costs.
C.His diners feeling welcome and comfortable.
D.His employees learning something from him.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段中“...That’s the warm hug we are giving.We are saying,‘Welcome...We are here for you.’”可知,Bottura认为让食客们感到受欢迎和舒适非常重要。故选C。
31.Which word can replace the underlined word “palatable” in the last paragraph?

C.Expensive. D.Common.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据语境以及末段中的画线词所在句和最后一句可推知,palatable意为“美味的”。故选B。

The benefits of sports have been shown in numerous studies.Now a research team at the Technical University of Munich looked specifically at children’s physical strength and their endurance(耐力).They used internationally standardized test procedures to look at children’s ability to concentrate and their health-related quality of life.
The study involved more than 3,200 girls and more than 3,200 boys at primary schools in Bavaria’s Berchtesgadener Land District.The results of the study show:The higher the level of children’s physical fitness is,the better they can perform.While the boys do better on the fitness tests,the girls perform better in terms of concentration and quality of life values.
“This means it’s important to encourage physical exercise in children at an early stage,since this can also have a positive impact on the development of mental fitness,” said Prof Oberhoffer-Fritz.
Collaboration(合作) among schools,communities and athletic clubs is very important when it comes to creating a proper range of possibilities.Dr Thorsten Schulz,head of the study team said,“Based on the results of the study,since 2019 the Berchtesgadener Land District Administration Office has been giving all first-grade pupils in the region a voucher(优惠券) for a one-year membership in a sports club.This is a great example of how different organizations can work together and lead children to be more athletically active.”
Having children get a high level of physical fitness may seem difficult to the parents who have a child that doesn’t seem to be interested in sports.However,with a little effort,they may be able to find a sport that their child does like.By allowing children to try more sports and exploring with them,parents may help their children find one that they are good at and one that they enjoy participating in,and it is even better if it is something the whole family can play together.
In a further study,the research team also investigated older children and young adults at secondary schools.An additional scientific publication based on these data is planned.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了体育运动对小学生的影响,同时,社会各界需共同努力来鼓励孩子们多运动。
32.What can we learn from the results of the study?
A.Boys tend to take exercise more often than girls.
B.Boys and girls benefit differently from physical exercise.
C.Girls are likely to perform better in more challenging sports.
D.Boys and girls have different preferences for physical activities.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While the boys do better on the fitness tests,the girls perform better in terms of concentration and quality of life values.”可知,男孩和女孩从体育锻炼中受益不同。
33.Why does the author mention the Berchtesgadener Land District Administration Office?
A.To point out a lack of community services for kids.
B.To introduce a way of offering free sports programs to kids.
C.To suggest physical exercise helps improve kids’ social skills.
D.To show joint efforts are necessary for encouraging kids to do sports.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This is a great example of how different organizations can work together and lead children to be more athletically active.”可知,文章提及这个机构是为了显示社会各界通过共同努力来鼓励孩子们做运动的必要性。
34.What are parents advised to do to help children find a sport to play?
A.Keep an eye on children’s daily exercise.
B.Act as role models for children in sports.
C.Take children to experience different sports.
D.Find coaches to teach children to play sports.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“By allowing children to try more sports and exploring with them...”可知,作者建议父母带孩子们体验不同的运动,以此来帮助他们找到感兴趣的运动。

B.Exercising on a Regular Basis Keeps Kids Energetic
C.Children with Less Sporting Ability Have Poor Mental Health
D.Hobbies Play an Important Part in Children’s Development

How to Improve Leadership Quality
To be a good leader required a variety of qualities and skills,which can be gained through continuous learning and practice. 36
Ask yourself what kind of leader you are.
37 Doing this will enable you to identify the areas you need to improve,and make you more aware of how you act and behave.Start by asking yourself “what kind of leader am I?” Perhaps you are someone who leads by example,and doesn’t get too involved in other people’s work.Or maybe you are a leader who helps to solve problems,and takes a more active role.
Improve your communication skills.
Communication is perhaps the most important leadership quality,and one that runs through all of the other important qualities.One of the key factors to good communication is enabling positive dialogue on problems and solutions. 38 If you make the effort to listen to somebody,he will see that and come to think of you as someone he can talk to.
Take responsibility.
To set a strong example as a leader,it’s important that you take responsibility for your individual tasks and your team as a whole. 39 Besides,it means removing responsibilities from those who are unable to manage the tasks arranged to them.
Cooperate(合作) instead of competing.
If you are trying to be a strong leader,it can be attractive to try to inspire better work by creating a competitive environment among your colleagues.In fact,developing a more cooperative work culture often leads to more effective working and better relationships. 40 Any battle that arises in a competitive culture cost valuable time and resource to deal with.
A.Another is to be an active listener.
B.Here are some detailed suggestions for you to follow.
C.It is also important for you to praise your teammates.
D.Honestly examining yourself is key to develop your leadership skills.
E.It will encourage to trust others and help avoid working alone as well.
F.Exploring your strengths and weaknesses is the first step to improve yourself.
G.Being responsible means supporting your team members to complete their tasks.

37.答案 D

39.答案 G
解析 根据空前一句可知,要想成为一名优秀的领导者,就要学会负责任,G项“负责任意味着支持团队成员完成任务”能够承接上文,告诉我们负责任意味着什么,且与下文的“Besides,it means”相呼应。故选G。

第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Why have we bought groceries for Mrs Killinger?” Bobby asked his mother,Anna,as they walked back from the supermarket with a few extra bags for their elderly neighbor.He enjoyed helping his mother with these tasks,but they had never bought anything for any neighbor before.
“Honey,Mrs Killinger is now having trouble walking around,so I offered to bring her a few things from the supermarket,” Anna explained as they climbed up the wooden steps to Mrs Killinger’s house and rang the doorbell.
“Oh,but she could get a wheelchair and move around,” the boy commented as if it was the most straightforward solution in the world.
“It’s not so easy to adapt to a wheelchair at an older age,honey.Also,Mrs Killinger doesn’t have money to buy one right now,” Anna explained,and Bobby pursed his lips in thought.
Mrs Killinger answered the door,and invited them for some coffee and cookies.Bobby noticed how slowly she moved,and then an idea formed in his mind.He told the older woman and his mother about it,and they smiled at him.Neither of them thought Bobby would do it.
That’s why Anna was surprised the following day when Bobby had made several ads.“Mom,can you add your phone number here?”
“Oh,honey,I don’t know if you could raise enough money for a wheelchair,” Anna explained.She didn’t want him to be heartbroken if no one called or he couldn’t raise much money.
“Well,at least,I can say that I tried to help,” Bobby said with a bright smile and eager look.Anna nodded and added her phone number to the ads.
In his ads,Bobby offered his “services” which included helping to shop,mowing lawns,keeping company,and walking dogs.He also listed the prices of his services,which made Anna smile.He honestly just wanted to help.
“Let’s go and hang them up!” he cheered,grabbing his mother’s hand and going outside.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Anna helped him put up the ads around the neighborhood.
Within three days,Bobby earned the money needed for a wheelchair.
参考范文
Anna helped him put up the ads around the neighborhood.When they finished and returned home,Anna started receiving calls from some neighborhoods,who asked about the ads.She explained everything to them.Fortunately,many people started hiring Bobby.He walked Mr Cotton’s dog every afternoon after school and helped him plant new flowers.He also helped Mrs Killinger with some housework,but that was for free.
Within three days,Bobby earned the money needed for a wheelchair.Without hesitation,Bobby went to the supermarket with his mother and chose a suitable wheelchair.Carrying the wheelchair,Bobby knocked at Mrs Killinger’s door.Seeing the wheelchair,Mrs Killinger couldn’t help crying.She thanked Bobby,again and again,saying this was the best gift she’d ever received.From then on,Bobby understood the value of hard work and the importance of helping others.
