M：Well，there is one over there.But that’s not the new one.It’s over by the police station.They don’t open until next weekend. Text 2 M：Did you see that red-headed woman in the store? The one wearing the white dress? She looked a lot like our cousin Mary. W：Are you kidding me? Everyone in our family has brown hair except for my dad.And that’s just because he has no hair on his head! Text 3 M：Good morning! Today，you need to cut the grass，then clean up the living room and put away all your clean clothes. W：I wanted to go to the game this afternoon.How about I just do the grass now and do the other stuff later tonight，after the game? Text 4 W：How about you drive us to Chicago this weekend? I really like history，and I want to go and see some of the historical sites there. M：Yes，it’s nice there.But why don’t we go to Pittsburgh? It’s much closer，and I know some great places to visit there，too. Text 5 M：I know it’s late，but I’m hungry.And I don’t feel like making something for myself.Do you know if the pizza place is still open? W：No，I don’t think so.They close at ten.If you’re really that hungry，you can call the café.They deliver until midnight. Text 6 M：Hey，Jane.Look at all the birds on the lake. W：Wow! There are a lot of birds there. M：They’re pretty，but be careful of them.My friend was bitten by a big bird once，and it really hurt. W：What? How could that happen? M：He was feeding some larger birds in a park，and one of them got angry and bit him.He should have stayed around the ducks instead. W：Why’s that? Is it because ducks eat less? M：No，ducks are just nicer.And they don’t attack you if you stop feeding them. Text 7 M：When are you going to go to the store? You know that it closes at six today，right? W：It does? I thought it was open until nine every day. M：No，today is Sunday.It closes early today.But if you leave now，you can make it back in time for a delicious steak dinner. W：Oh，that sounds really good.What time are you going to have dinner ready? M：Everything should be ready by half past six. W：I think I’ll just wait until tomorrow to go to the store.I know that the store opens at ten.That way，I’ll have plenty of time to get there after I go to the gym.And I want to finish watching this movie. Text 8 W：Hey，Simon.Have you seen Fiona? I haven’t talked to her for a few days and I’m a little worried. M：Don’t worry，Claire.She has been in Miami on vacation.She’s visiting her sister for a week.She’ll be back next weekend. W：Oh，I didn’t know she had a sister in Miami. M：She does.And she goes there every winter for two weeks just to visit her. W：I go to visit my brothers every summer in Boston and New York.But I only stay for a few days with each of them.Then they come here to Philadelphia when they take their vacations. M：Oh，that sounds good.That way，you can see each other more often. W：Yeah，that’s why we do it.We have been doing it for the past ten years. M：I think Fiona has only been going to Miami for the last three years. Text 9 W：Hi，James.Can I ask you a favor? M：Sure，Nancy.What do you need? W：You know about my business selling things online，right? M：Yes，of course.I got a necklace from your store last month. W：I started to sell some of the things that my husband makes，too.He makes chairs and tables out of wood.And I also resell clothes that I find in local shops.Everything has gotten so busy that we need more space.So，we decided to rent an office in town.And we need some help moving things there from the house.Would you mind lending us a hand? M：Well，I have to work on the farm this weekend.When do you need help? W：Mark has agreed to come on Saturday morning around nine.And he said he could stay all day.On Sunday mornings，I usually go grocery shopping.So，I could use some help in the afternoon if you have time. M：Sure，I can do that.I should be finished at the farm by one.So，I could be at your place by two. W：That would be perfect.

Participants take 40 hours of instruction in horticulture and related topics to become expert volunteers.Learn more and register for the first Master Gardener class of 2022 from February 1 to February 28 at http：//msuext.ms/mg.Instruction for all classes is online and self-paced.The online class material is offered from March 15 to May 15. About Volunteering “The Master Gardener program trains active volunteers who exchange the 40 hours of educational training they receive for 40 hours of volunteer service within one year of their training，” said Jeff Wilson，a horticulture specialist of the Master Gardener program.“These Master Gardeners continue to be assets to their communities as，in future years，they continue to receive training and spend a minimum of 20 community service hours a year to maintain their certified status.” The volunteer work of Master Gardeners helps local Extension offices reach a broader audience than is possible through just the efforts of Extension agents.Volunteers take on a variety of community beautification projects and extend the educational arm of the university to the public by providing horticultural information based on university research and recommendations. “Master Gardener volunteers experience the personal satisfaction of serving their community，gaining horticultural expertise and connecting with their local gardening community，” Wilson said. Fees The cost for Master Gardener training is $125 for those who want to become certified volunteers and provide 40 hours of service.For $200，the same material is available for those not interested in the volunteer service component. For More Information For questions about the Master Gardener program，contact Jeff Wilson at 662-566-8019 or jeff.wilson@msstate.edu. 语篇解读　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了密西西比州立大学进修服务再次在网上提供园艺大师培训和资格认证服务的相关信息。 21．When can the participants receive the online class material this year?

So，in May 2022，Liden told Clovis that he and Josh Tucker，his best friend，were heading out on a camp to Yellowstone.Instead，he and Tucker made for Crater of Diamonds State Park，Arkansas，which is set on a volcanic crater.The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and can keep them for free.Since its opening，only 1 in 10,000 park visitors is lucky enough to find a diamond that weighs a carat or more.Still，he was up for the challenge. On their way，Liden and Tucker stopped in Helena，Montana，to mine for accompanying jewels to add to the diamond they hoped to score.In Arkansas，the pair paid $10 each to get into the park and spent almost three days searching through the volcanic dirt. On the third morning，Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands.“I was so excited that I started shaking，” he said.“It was oily and shiny，and we both just knew it was a diamond.” It was confirmed that Liden had found a 2.2-carat yellow diamond.Similarly-sized diamonds go for $2,500 to $20,000 per carat，depending on quality，color and cut.But the value wasn’t what was important to Liden. When he pulled out the diamond and got on his knee upon his return，Clovis was amazed.“I knew that he was going to propose someday，” she said，“but I certainly didn’t expect this.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Liden为了给未来妻子制作个性化的钻戒而亲自去寻找天然原石，用行动表达爱意的故事。 24．What was Christian Liden’s ambitious plan? A．He intended his ring to consist of various jewels. B．He would get a personalized ring from a jeweler’s. C．He decided to make a ring together with his future wife. D．He planned to hunt for a natural diamond to create a ring. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句可知，为了给他未来的妻子制作一枚个性化的戒指，他计划去寻找天然钻石。故选D。 25．Why did Liden and Tucker choose Crater of Diamonds State Park? A．The public was allowed to keep any diamond found there. B．They were likely to find more than just natural diamonds. C．The majority of park visitors had got their ideal diamonds. D．It was the only place that charged jewel hunters nothing. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知，该公园允许公众保留在那里发现的任何钻石。故选A。 26．Why was Liden excited about his findings? A．He had got the largest diamond in the park’s history. B．The value of the diamond was beyond his expectations. C．He was lucky to acquire the diamond for his dream ring. D．The quality and color of his diamond ranked among the best. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，Liden之所以兴奋是因为他幸运地找到了用于制作他梦寐以求的戒指的钻石。故选C。 27．What can we learn from the story?

Festivals are a fascinating insight into a group of individuals with a common understanding and the world they are living in.This is also one of the reasons why I enjoy international festivals. I ticked off a huge bucket list festival in Lake of Stars Festival in Malawi a few years ago.I was unwell and not my usual party self，but，it gave me the opportunity instead to sit and listen to the local poets.Through their poetry they enlightened me to some of the issues of the day—calling out their “fat government” and covering everything from housing，to relationships，to the nominal(名义上的) opportunities. The importance of celebrating festivals abroad isn’t just to gather with your “tribe”．What I learned in a few poems at Lake of Stars Festival were fascinating insights into modern social issues and the Malawi of the present，which I would have had to dig deep to find out.And I probably wouldn’t have bothered to，to be honest. Even if only for a weekend，what I learned there from the poets and artists gave me a better understanding of what life was like in Malawi. You never know what you’re going to learn when you visit a new festival.That’s all part of the fun and expectation. Comedy makes current social issues fun，music makes them melodic(有旋律的)，while poetry makes them considered and heartfelt.Festivals bring you them all. 28．What does the underlined word “microcosm” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Different view. B．Mixed reaction. C．Small world. D．Rare opportunity. 答案　C 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“Festivals are an opportunity to see as much as possible in a weekend into worlds so different，or even familiar，of my own.”以及画线词所在句可知，画线词意思是“缩影”，与C项意思接近。故选C。 29．Why does the author like experiencing worldwide festivals? A．He likes having fun with others. B．He can learn about the world. C．He expects to get job opportunities there. D．He enjoys tasting a variety of drinks and food. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句以及第二段内容可知，作者喜欢体验世界各地的节日是因为他可以了解世界。故选B。 30．What does the author think of Lake of Stars Festival? A．Instructive. B．Informal. C．Commercial. D．Huge. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句以及第四段第二句可推知作者认为星湖节具有指导性。故选A。 31．What is stressed in the text? A．The author’s wishes. B．The greatness of poets. C．The differences between festivals. D．The significance of festivals. 答案　D 解析　主旨大意题。通读全文尤其根据第一段内容以及第二段第一句可知，本文主要讲述了节日的意义。故选D。 D In recent times，with the advent of electric cars，the idea to fuel them with solar energy also gained momentum.Electric cars—even though they run on electricity and don’t use fossil fuels—are still NOT GREEN！People suffer from the misconception that not using fossil fuel means “green” which is kind of absurd，considering the electricity we use is generated by burning the very same fuels! However，what if your car had solar panels that could charge it？Now that would indeed be a green machine！Basically，as much as we would like to incorporate this energy source into our car，the efficiency of the currently used solar panels is subject to the fulfillment of different criteria. Firstly，solar panels occupy a large amount of area.An average car has an area of 10－25 sq.ft.on the roof，which can generate between 50－150 W under ideal conditions.This is hardly enough power to illuminate a light bulb！Also，moderate sunny temperature needs to be ideal，as extremely high temperatures can reduce the efficiency of the solar panels.Cars must work in all weather conditions，so if a solar panel limits the car’s functionality，it becomes practically useless.More importantly，the cost of the panels and development required to power the electronics using the sun’s energy outweighs the benefits that solar panels provide. Most cars today that have solar roofs，use the solar energy to power only a few basic functions of the car.While there is still time before we will be able to drive cars fully powered by solar energy，there are some alternatives，such as solar power stations，which are being designed to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels for electricity. Solar-powered vehicles are surely the future，but not the near future.As the cost of solar panels continues to fall and their efficiency increases，things will begin to look much “brighter” for this alternative and sustainable option! 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍目前的电动汽车虽不使用化石燃料，但仍然不是环保的。太阳能汽车将是一个更好的选择，但其发展仍需时间。 32．Why aren’t electric cars environmentally friendly? A．They won’t work as well as the common cars. B．They are not powered by solar energy. C．They run on electricity produced by burning fuels. D．They cause more pollution to the world. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，电动汽车不环保是因为它们靠燃烧燃料产生的电力运转。故选C。 33．What can we learn from the third paragraph? A．Temperatures have little effect on solar panels. B．Powering the electronics costs little. C．A car’s roof generates enough power to light a bulb. D．The performance of current solar panels depends on various factors. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中“Firstly，solar panels occupy a large amount of area.”和“Also，moderate sunny temperature needs to be ideal，as extremely high temperatures can reduce the efficiency of the solar panels.”以及最后一句可知，目前太阳能电池板的性能取决于多方面的因素。故选D。 34．What can we infer about solar energy in the car industry? A．Most cars have solar roofs. B．Cars can be currently powered from solar power stations. C．Cars partly powered by solar energy are on the road. D．Solar cars will soon be available. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段第二句可知，目前，汽车可以由太阳能发电站提供动力。故选B。 35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．What Do Solar Cars Look Like? B．Why Don’t We Power the Car with Solar Energy? C．How Do Solar Cars Work? D．Could Solar Cars Replace the Electric Cars? 答案　D 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段内容可知，文章主要介绍目前的电动汽车虽不使用化石燃料，但仍然不是环保的。太阳能汽车将是一个更好的选择，但其发展仍需时间。因此，D项“太阳能汽车能取代电动汽车吗？”为短文最佳标题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You’ll make new friends in each stage of your life.Some of them will come and go，while others will last for the rest of your life. 36 There are many benefits of having strong friendships.According to experts，many people regret not keeping friendships going and end up living a life with no close friends or even enduring mental and physical sufferings. 37 People who have healthy friendships tend to enjoy life more and may even live longer. 38 There are a lot of ways to make new friends that can stay with you for the rest of your life.Look for people who share things with you.If you have kids，join a mom’s group，or sign your child up for classes where you’ll naturally meet other parents. 39 You share your career and will have a lot to talk about while also having built-in opportunities to spend time with each other. Sometimes it’s a good idea to let a friendship go，even if you’ve been friends for a long time.If one party isn’t making an effort to keep things going，it can lead to feelings of hurt and betrayal，and it might be time to let things cool off and pursue other friendships. 40 Besides，it can encourage you to focus on the partnerships that are healthy and where both of you are committed to keeping it going for your entire life. A．Lifelong friendships are what most people desire. B．You don’t have to be mean or harsh to get this done. C．If you are lacking in good friendships，it’s not too late. D．You can also make friends with people you work with. E．So making time for your friendships is vital to a healthy life. F．Sign up for a dancing class to meet those with the same passion. G．While this can be sad，it can actually improve your quality of life. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了长期友谊的好处，以及如何发展一段新的友谊，并且提出，该结束的友谊就应果断结束。 36．答案　A 解析　前文提到有些朋友会伴你一生，结合下文陈述维持长期友谊的好处以及如何保持长期友谊可知，A项“终生友谊是大多数人所渴望的”符合文意。故选A项。 37．答案　E 解析　前文提到很多人后悔没有维持好友谊，后文则提到健康的友谊有利于享受生活甚至延长寿命，所以E项“因此，为友谊腾出时间对健康的生活至关重要”符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选E项。 38．答案　C 解析　本段后文主要讲述了如何交到可以陪伴你一生的新朋友。所以C项“如果你缺少优质友谊，现在还不晚”符合语境，引出下文。故选C项。 39．答案　D 解析　上文陈述如何和有共同话题的人交朋友，下文则提到有共同的事业，由此推知，空处是关于和同事交朋友。所以D项符合文意。故选D项。 40．答案　G 解析　前文讲必要时可以选择结束一段友谊。由此推知，空处陈述这样做的原因。所以G项“虽然会很伤心，但这实际上会提升你的生活质量”符合文意，且与下文“Besides，it can encourage you to...”构成并列关系。故选G项。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 (2023·如皋高三期末) Last summer，with my neck tight from too much time at the computer，I knew I needed to take off into the woods.My husband wasn’t 41 ，but I really wanted to see the Perseids meteor shower(英仙座流星雨)．I decided to go camping on my own.

Once 47 the tent，I realized how much room there was.I loved that I could 48 out and throw my clothes all over with no one to complain about the mess.Solo camping certainly has its 49 .

(scientific) at all，” said the researcher.“Most of the scientists are not sure 59. this recommendation came from.” One issue is that previous estimates of water requirements have tended 60.________ (ignore) the water content of food，which can contribute a substantial proportion(比例) of our overall intake.If you just eat bread and bacon and eggs you will not get much water from food，but if you eat meat，vegetables，fish，pasta and rice you can get about 50% 61. your water needs.

Yours， Li Hua 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。 The Cup of Coffee It was supposed to be a normal trip to the supermarket.My son was little and it was getting close to time to have a little sleep，so I was rushing through the aisles trying to avoid a failure.I remember feeling a sense of achievement as I got him into the car without any tears.Then I went to start the car and realized my keys were gone.After a few minutes of checking around，I realized that I must have locked them in the trunk with my bag. I wasn’t sure what to do，so I took my son out of his car seat and went back inside the store with my cart still full of groceries.I had to use their phones to call my husband for the spare key because my phone was in the bag I had locked in the trunk.After multiple calls and messages with no answer，I was getting discouraged.My son was tired and began to cry.I was tired because of a sleepless night that all mums go through—when their kids are teething.When he went into full-on crying，I felt the tears come down my face，too. An employee at the store tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to come with her.I was panicked for a moment，thinking that I was going to be scolded and thrown into the storage area to keep us quiet.The employee，whose name I would later find out was Kelly，took me，to my surprise，to the Starbucks cafe that was inside the store.She asked me if I drank coffee.When I said yes，she walked over to the counter and came back with one for me.She said that it looked like I was having one of those days and that，as a mum，she had them，too.I told her how stupid I felt locking my keys in the car，and she assured me it happened to a lot of people.As we talked，my son settled into a sound sleep in my arms. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 After about fifteen minutes，she said her break was over. After I got home that day，I kept thinking about what Kelly had done for me. 参考范文 After about fifteen minutes，she said her break was over.Kelly had to get back to work again.Before leaving，she asked me to contact my husband again using her phone and said if I couldn’t get through，she would call someone to come out and get the trunk open.Also，my meat and dairy groceries would be replaced with new ones free of charge.Thankfully，this time my husband answered my phone and came to my assistance as soon as possible. After I got home that day，I kept thinking about what Kelly had done for me.Wanting to do something for her in return，I went to the store with a small gift several days later and told her how grateful I was.She would accept nothing in return and just told me to pay it forward.The store has since closed，and I never saw her again，but I never have forgotten the kindness she showed me that day.I am so glad I locked my keys in the car that day. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
