Up until he met his university professor, Fang Jianze always believed he would never be able to do anything on his own. In January 2020, when he put on his first diving suit and began his training, he found himself in a pool of emotions. In order to build up his physical strength, Fang began riding his bike 5 km every day, covering more than 600 km in half a year. To overcome his fear at water, he fully immersed (沉浸) himself in it in both a mental and physical way. Due to the weakness in his upper arms, he had to rely on his body and legs to keep him afloat. On August 19th,2020, Fang Jianze got the world’s 2075th Disabled Divers Certification, and became China’s first certified diver with muscle disease. Since becoming an accomplished diver, Fang sees the world from an entirely new point of view. Now, he has the confidence and ability to help others overcome their own doubts and fears. In 2020 alone, he helped to upgrade more than 20 facilities (设施) for people with disabilities in various ways in Guangzhou. Nowadays, most parts of the world have accepted the idea of making things accessible for everyone. Everyone can benefit from a barrier-free environment. By accommodating each other’s differences, perhaps we can find a way in which to live together happily, so that no barrier, physical or mental, can impede someone from going after their dreams. 4.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了患有罕见疾病的大学生方坚泽如何克服自身障碍，成为中国大陆首位获得认证的肌肉病患者潜水员，并以此激励他人，推动无障碍环境建设的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Fang Jianze, a student of today’s Zhuhai College of Science and Technology, was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare disease at the. age of three, leaving his legs almost useless. (方坚泽，现就读于珠海科技学院，三岁时被诊断出患有一种罕见疾病，导致他的双腿几乎无法正常使用)”可知，方坚泽三岁的时候被诊断患有罕见疾病，并且这种疾病会影响他的腿部。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In order to build up his physical strength, Fang began riding his bike 5 km every day, covering more than 600 km in half a year. (为了增强体力，方建泽开始每天骑自行车5公里，半年内累计骑行超过600公里)”可知，方建泽每天骑自行车进行锻炼是为了提高自己的体能。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Nowadays, most parts of the world have accepted the idea of making things accessible for everyone. Everyone can benefit from a barrier-free environment. By accommodating each other’s differences, perhaps we can find a way in which to live together happily, so that no barrier, physical or mental, can impede someone from going after their dreams. (如今，世界上大多数地区都接受了为每个人创造无障碍环境的理念。每个人都能从无障碍环境中受益。通过接纳彼此的差异，我们或许能找到一种共同幸福生活的方式，让无论是身体还是心理上的障碍都无法impede人们追求梦想)”可知，世界上大多数地区都接受了为每个人创造无障碍环境的理念。每个人都能从无障碍环境中受益，让无论是身体还是心理上的障碍都无法阻碍人们追求梦想。由此可推知，impede意为“阻碍”，与Stop“阻碍，阻止”意思相符。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Fang Jianze, a student of today’s Zhuhai College of Science and Technology, was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare disease at the. age of three, leaving his legs almost useless. (方坚泽，现就读于珠海科技学院，三岁时被诊断出患有一种罕见疾病，导致他的双腿几乎无法正常使用)”可知，作为一位罕见病患者，方坚泽能够坚持锻炼并最终成为获得认证的潜水员，这说明他是一个意志坚强的人；根据倒数第二段中“Now, he has the confidence and ability to help others overcome their own doubts and fears. In 2020 alone, he helped to upgrade more than 20 facilities (设施) for people with disabilities in various ways in Guangzhou. (现在，他有了信心和能力去帮助他人克服自己的疑虑和恐惧。仅在2020年，他就以多种方式帮助广州的残疾人设施进行了20多次升级)”可知，他还积极帮助推动无障碍环境建设，说明他乐于助人。所以他意志坚强，乐于助人。故选B。 C Timeless and meaningful friendships are central to the human experience, and we have been honoring these special relationships for thousands of years. One of the ways people have marked these bonds is by exchanging gifts. Here are the stories of the symbols and traditions that have honored friendships throughout history and around the world. In the 16th century, Dutch theologian Erasmus offered his friends paintings, books, and ancient coins, which became a kind of currency of friendship among early modern humanists. By the 18th and 19th centuries in Ireland, the Claddagh ring had gained attention as a symbol of both love and friendship: the heart on the ring represents (代表) love, while the clasped hands represent friendship. By the 18th century friends were exchanging locks of hair, which degrades very slowly. Like friendship, so the belief went, hair seemed to be everlasting. George Washington even gifted his hair to some of his close friends, including fellow founding father Alexander Hamilton. Throughout the 19th century, friends exchanged friendship brooches (胸针). They sometimes featured ivy flowers, which Victorians associated with loyalty, and the phrase, “Nothing can separate me from you.” As one advertisement for friendship brooches said in 1913, the brooch’s circular shape was, “like friendship, endless”. By the end of the 20th century, a new friendship symbol and gift-giving practice took hold: friendship bracelets, which tend to be brightly colored and woven. No one knows exactly where friendship bracelets came from or how the tradition started, but they may have their roots in woven bracelets from Central America. All these show an idea that’s been around forever: It’s great to find someone who understands you in this big world, and it’s something worth celebrating. 8 What did Erasmus offer his friends in the 16th century? A. Ivy flowers and woven bracelets. B. Paintings, books, and ancient coins. C. Friendship bracelets and locks of hair. D. Claddagh rings and friendship brooches. 9. What can we know about the Claddagh ring in Ireland? A. It was only worn by men. B. It was expensive and hard to get. C. It was made of gold and diamonds. D. It represented both love and friendship. 10. What can be inferred about the tradition of exchanging locks of hair? A. It was a way to show long life. B. It was a practice limited to the 18th century. C. It was a common practice only among the wealthy. D. It was believed to symbolize everlasting friendship. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. How celebrities make friends B. How people celebrate friendship C. The history of friendship symbols D. The importance of celebrating friendships 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了长久且有意义的友谊在人类生活中至关重要，交换礼物是纪念友谊的方式之一。文章历数了不同时期世界各地纪念友谊的象征物与传统，包括 16世纪荷兰伊拉斯谟送的绘画、书籍和古币，18至19世纪爱尔兰的克拉达戒指，18世纪朋友间交换的一缕头发，19世纪的友谊胸针以及20世纪末的彩色编织友谊手链。这些都体现出在广阔世界中觅得知己的美好，这种情谊值得庆贺。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the 16th century, Dutch theologian Erasmus offered his friends paintings, books, and ancient coins, which became a kind of currency of friendship among early modern humanists.( 16世纪，荷兰神学家伊拉斯谟向他的朋友们赠送绘画、书籍和古钱币，这在早期现代人文主义者中成为一种友谊的货币。)”可知，在 16 世纪，荷兰神学家伊拉斯谟送给他的朋友们绘画、书籍和古币。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By the 18th and 19th centuries in Ireland, the Claddagh ring had gained attention as a symbol of both love and friendship: the heart on the ring represents (代表) love, while the clasped hands represent friendship.( 到了18世纪和19世纪，在爱尔兰，克拉达戒指作为爱情和友谊的象征而受到关注：戒指上的心代表爱情，而紧握的双手代表友谊。)”可知，在爱尔兰，克拉达戒指代表着爱和友谊。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“By the 18th century, friends were exchanging locks of hair, which degrades very slowly. Like friendship, so the belief went, hair seemed to be everlasting. George Washington even gifted his hair to some of his close friends, including fellow founding father Alexander Hamilton.(到 18 世纪，朋友们开始交换一缕头发，头发降解的速度非常缓慢。就像友谊一样，人们的信念是这样的，头发似乎是永恒的。乔治·华盛顿甚至将他的头发送给了他的一些密友，包括同为开国元勋的亚历山大·汉密尔顿。 )”可推知，人们认为交换一缕头发象征着永恒的友谊，因为头发降解很慢，就像友谊一样似乎是永恒的。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“One of the ways people have marked these bonds is by exchanging gifts. Here are the stories of the symbols and traditions that have honored friendships throughout history and around the world.(人们庆祝这些关系的方式之一是交换礼物。以下是历史上和世界各地尊重友谊的象征和传统的故事。)”可知，文章主要讲述了几个世纪以来，不同的物品和传统在不同时期成为了友谊的象征，如16世纪伊拉斯谟送的绘画、书籍和古币，18、19世纪爱尔兰的克拉达戒指，18世纪交换的一缕头发，19世纪的友谊胸针，20 世纪末的友谊手链等，所以文章主要不同历史时期象征友谊的物品和庆祝方式。由此可推知，C 选项“The history of friendship symbols(友谊象征物的历史)”最适合作文章标题。故选C项。 D If you’ve been learning English for a while, you may have noticed that native speakers often use idioms (习语) in conversations.

They play an important role in understanding and communicating effectively. Learning idioms is important for several reasons. Firstly, idioms can help you sound more like a native speaker. Including idioms into your conversations will make your speech more natural and fluent. Secondly, idioms are a key part of cultural understanding. Many idioms are deeply rooted in a country’s culture, history, and by understanding and using idioms, you can learn more about the culture of the language you are learning. Lastly, idioms are often used in literature, movies, and songs, so having a good grasp of idiomatic expressions can improve your overall understanding and appreciation of English media. 12.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了英语习语在对话中的重要性、原因以及如何有效地学习习语。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“This guide will teach you how to learn English idioms effectively, so that you can make your conversations sound more natural. (本指南将教你如何有效地学习英语习语，这样你的对话听起来会更自然。)”可知，这篇指南的主要目的是帮助学习者有效地学习英语习语。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“Native speakers of English use idioms all the time without even realizing it. (英语母语者一直在使用习语，甚至没有意识到这一点。)”可知，母语者在自己都没有意识到的情况下一直在使用习语；由此可知，文章表明母语人士经常在不知不觉中频繁使用习语。故选B项。 14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Idioms are phrases or expressions that have a figurative (比喻的) meaning that is different from the literal interpretation (字面解释) of the words used. They are a way to add color, humor and depth to our conversations. (习语是具有比喻意义的短语或表达，与所用单词的字面解释不同。它们是为我们的对话增添色彩、幽默和深度的一种方式。)”可知，习语是为我们的对话增添幽默的一种方式；由此可知，英语习语可以使对话更有趣。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“They are a way to add color, humor and depth to our conversations.

B Fang Jianze, a student of today’s Zhuhai College of Science and Technology, was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare disease at the. age of three, leaving his legs almost useless. Up until he met his university professor, Fang Jianze always believed he would never be able to do anything on his own. In January 2020, when he put on his first diving suit and began his training, he found himself in a pool of emotions. In order to build up his physical strength, Fang began riding his bike 5 km every day, covering more than 600 km in half a year. To overcome his fear at water, he fully immersed (沉浸) himself in it in both a mental and physical way. Due to the weakness in his upper arms, he had to rely on his body and legs to keep him afloat. On August 19th,2020, Fang Jianze got the world’s 2075th Disabled Divers Certification, and became China’s first certified diver with muscle disease. Since becoming an accomplished diver, Fang sees the world from an entirely new point of view. Now, he has the confidence and ability to help others overcome their own doubts and fears. In 2020 alone, he helped to upgrade more than 20 facilities (设施) for people with disabilities in various ways in Guangzhou. Nowadays, most parts of the world have accepted the idea of making things accessible for everyone. Everyone can benefit from a barrier-free environment. By accommodating each other’s differences, perhaps we can find a way in which to live together happily, so that no barrier, physical or mental, can impede someone from going after their dreams. 4.

C Timeless and meaningful friendships are central to the human experience, and we have been honoring these special relationships for thousands of years. One of the ways people have marked these bonds is by exchanging gifts. Here are the stories of the symbols and traditions that have honored friendships throughout history and around the world. In the 16th century, Dutch theologian Erasmus offered his friends paintings, books, and ancient coins, which became a kind of currency of friendship among early modern humanists. By the 18th and 19th centuries in Ireland, the Claddagh ring had gained attention as a symbol of both love and friendship: the heart on the ring represents (代表) love, while the clasped hands represent friendship. By the 18th century, friends were exchanging locks of hair, which degrades very slowly. Like friendship, so the belief went, hair seemed to be everlasting. George Washington even gifted his hair to some of his close friends, including fellow founding father Alexander Hamilton. Throughout the 19th century, friends exchanged friendship brooches (胸针). They sometimes featured ivy flowers, which Victorians associated with loyalty, and the phrase, “Nothing can separate me from you.” As one advertisement for friendship brooches said in 1913, the brooch’s circular shape was, “like friendship, endless”. By the end of the 20th century, a new friendship symbol and gift-giving practice took hold: friendship bracelets, which tend to be brightly colored and woven. No one knows exactly where friendship bracelets came from or how the tradition started, but they may have their roots in woven bracelets from Central America. All these show an idea that’s been around forever: It’s great to find someone who understands you in this big world, and it’s something worth celebrating. 8. What did Erasmus offer his friends in the 16th century? A. Ivy flowers and woven bracelets. B. Paintings, books, and ancient coins. C. Friendship bracelets and locks of hair. D.
