Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Jack. He lived in a small village with his parents. Jack loved to explore the fields and forests around his home. One day, while wandering in the woods, he stumbled upon (偶然发现) a strange old tree.

Aiming to reduce the waste of food, a nonprofit group in Geneva, Switzerland is making refrigerators available so restaurant owners and cooks can make food available to the public before it goes bad.
The nonprofit Free-Go has put refrigerators and food storage centres in Geneva so people can get fruit, vegetables, breads and other foods at no cost. Free-Go is a smart play on the word “frigo”, which is an informal French word for refrigerator.
The programme costs about $40,000 to run each year. It receives support from private groups and the city government. Free-Go also lets people who use the service plan when they will get their food. The idea is to make it easier for people who live in apartment buildings to join the programme. There is also a telephone line that restaurants can use to call for someone to pick up unused food.
Free-Go said those who give food from private businesses, like restaurants or food sellers, must promise to make sure the donated food is safe to eat. Swiss law says food past the “recommended use-by” date can be eaten for up to a year afterwards.
Similar food-sharing campaigns are in place in the Swiss capital, Bern, and in the town of Neuchatel. The idea was first imported from Germany.
Foodsharing. de is a community group in Germany that started more than 10 years ago. It said that more than half a million people in Germany, Switzerland and Austria have made “the food-sharing initiative an international movement”. The group said it has helped save 83 million tons of food from going to waste.
Because the food is free, and the donations can change, it is not always clear what will appear in the refrigerators. Some people receiving food might not get what they want or need.
Severine Cuendet is a 54-year-old teacher. Just after leaving some vegetables that she grew, she said. “We have too much” and praised the initiative “because this neighbourhood has a lot of need.” She added, “And it happens to all of us to buy too much.”
8. Why does Free-Go provide refrigerators for free in Geneva?
A. To cut food waste more effectively.
B. To improve the supply of various food products.
C. To ensure food quality and extended shelf life.
D. To promote and expand its business philosophy.
9. What can be learned from Paragraphs 3-4?
A. Restaurants can phone for somebody to take unused food.
B. The city government expresses opposition to the programme.
C. People using the service have no right to plan when to donate their food.
D. Food past the “recommended use-by” date must be thrown away in Switzerland.
10. Which country did the food sharing movement originate from?
A. Switzerland. B. France. C. Swiss. D. Germany.
11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To provide more news background.
B. To praise the teacher’s generosity.
C. To encourage people to grow vegetables and donate them.
D. To show residents’ support to food-sharing campaigns.
D
Few industries have seen the fast-paced level of innovations like the 3D-printing world. What began as a high-priced device capable of printing a small statue in 12 or more hours has exploded into technology that can print the framework(框架)of a house in a few days’ time. The process is being touted(吹捧)as a sustainable solution for housing shortages, but is it? The answer is yes, possibly no and it depends.
Perhaps the most notable step towards sustainability in the 3D field is the ability to print houses with nearly zero waste. The technology is so precise it allows structures to be printed to exact specifications. Even better, because the printing information is provided by software, changes from one design to another are easily accomplished with a tweak(微调)to the programming.
3D-printed houses, either printed off site and transported as prefabricated(预制的)units, or printed onsite where the structure will sit, predominantly require much less transport than traditionally-built homes. In contrast, 3D-printed homes typically require limited equipment and transports. This is especially true in remote locations and for small structures like tiny homes.
Like any new technology, we don’t yet know the long-term capabilities of 3D-printed homes. If they don’t stand the test of time as well as brick or wood houses, we could see a massive waste issue in the future. Even though we won’t have those answers for decades, it’s certainly part of the 3D-printed home sustainability situation.
According to a recent survey by 3D printing experts Hubs, there’s been a dramatic increase in the number of people inquiring about both the technology and the availability. When people search for 3D technology, printed homes are the number one most Googled search around the world. It’s not too surprising, considering the potential it has to address housing shortages in a potentially sustainable way.
We’ve covered a lot of 3D-related topics here. While we don’t have all the answers yet. the advantages seem to outweigh the disadvantages so, for now, responsibly made 3D-printed houses remain on the list of sustainable construction options to watch in the near future.
12. What does the underlined word “accomplished” mean in Paragraph 2?
A Stressed. B. Compared. C. Ignored. D. Achieved.
13. What should be a challenge for 3D-printed houses?
A. Types of materials. B. Long-term durability.
C. Convenient service. D. Environment pollution.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards 3D-printed homes?
A. Optimistic. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Are People Interested in 3D-Printed Homes.
B. Are 3D-Printed Homes a Sustainable Option for the Future.
C. How to Print Houses with Nearly Zero Waste.
D. A Recent Survey by 3D Printing Experts.

When Clara Temple was in first grade, about six years ago, she was used to bringing her lunch from home. Every day, she would pack her lunchbox with a sandwich, fruit, and a snack, and eagerly join her friends in the cafeteria.
But one day, there was a mix-up, and she was told to get a hot lunch from the cafeteria instead. As Clara stood in line, she noticed the other kids were entering their student ID numbers on a keypad before receiving their meals. But because it was the first time she had ordered lunch from the school, she didn’t remember her student ID number. She knew that every student was offered a student ID. but she just couldn’t remember it no matter how hard she tried. Panic set in as she moved closer to the front of the line. “When it came time to type in my number, I froze, and I felt embarrassed, like everyone was watching me,” Clara, now 12 years old, recalled.
The kids behind her began to grow impatient, saying things like, “Come on, hurry up, what are you doing?” The pressure made Clara feel even more self-conscious. Her embarrassment turned into tears, and she felt completely overwhelmed. She crumpled to (瘫倒) the floor, unable to stop crying. The worker at the register and a few friends tried to help, but Clara was too upset to regain her composure (镇定) . That’s when her unsung hero appeared — one of the lunch ladies working in the cafeteria, who noticed the scene and rushed over to help.
“The lunch lady stopped everything she was doing,” Clara remembered. “She came over. gently picked me up, and helped me back on my feet.” Although Clara was still crying, the lunch lady seemed to know exactly what to do. With a calm voice, she helped Clara remember her student ID number. Clara got her lunch this time. “I just felt so comfortable,” Clara said. “It was like she truly understood how I was feeling in that moment, without saying much.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Aiming to reduce the waste of food, a nonprofit group in Geneva, Switzerland is making refrigerators available so restaurant owners and cooks can make food available to the public before it goes bad.
The nonprofit Free-Go has put refrigerators and food storage centres in Geneva so people can get fruit, vegetables, breads and other foods at no cost. Free-Go is a smart play on the word “frigo”, which is an informal French word for refrigerator.
The programme costs about $40,000 to run each year. It receives support from private groups and the city government. Free-Go also lets people who use the service plan when they will get their food. The idea is to make it easier for people who live in apartment buildings to join the programme. There is also a telephone line that restaurants can use to call for someone to pick up unused food.
Free-Go said those who give food from private businesses, like restaurants or food sellers, must promise to make sure the donated food is safe to eat. Swiss law says food past the “recommended use-by” date can be eaten for up to a year afterwards.
Similar food-sharing campaigns are in place in the Swiss capital, Bern, and in the town of Neuchatel. The idea was first imported from Germany.
Foodsharing. de is a community group in Germany that started more than 10 years ago. It said that more than half a million people in Germany, Switzerland and Austria have made “the food-sharing initiative an international movement”. The group said it has helped save 83 million tons of food from going to waste.
Because the food is free, and the donations can change, it is not always clear what will appear in the refrigerators. Some people receiving food might not get what they want or need.
Severine Cuendet is a 54-year-old teacher. Just after leaving some vegetables that she grew, she said. “We have too much” and praised the initiative “because this neighbourhood has a lot of need.” She added, “And it happens to all of us to buy too much.”
8. Why does Free-Go provide refrigerators for free in Geneva?
A. To cut food waste more effectively.
B. To improve the supply of various food products.
C. To ensure food quality and extended shelf life.
D. To promote and expand its business philosophy.
9. What can be learned from Paragraphs 3-4?
A. Restaurants can phone for somebody to take unused food.
B. The city government expresses opposition to the programme.
C. People using the service have no right to plan when to donate their food.
D. Food past the “recommended use-by” date must be thrown away in Switzerland.
10. Which country did the food sharing movement originate from?
A. Switzerland. B. France. C. Swiss. D. Germany.
11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To provide more news background.
B. To praise the teacher’s generosity.
C. To encourage people to grow vegetables and donate them.
D. To show residents’ support to food-sharing campaigns.
【答案】8 A 9. A 10. D 11. D

Few industries have seen the fast-paced level of innovations like the 3D-printing world. What began as a high-priced device capable of printing a small statue in 12 or more hours has exploded into technology that can print the framework(框架)of a house in a few days’ time. The process is being touted(吹捧)as a sustainable solution for housing shortages, but is it? The answer is yes, possibly no and it depends.
Perhaps the most notable step towards sustainability in the 3D field is the ability to print houses with nearly zero waste. The technology is so precise it allows structures to be printed to exact specifications. Even better, because the printing information is provided by software, changes from one design to another are easily accomplished with a tweak(微调)to the programming.
3D-printed houses, either printed off site and transported as prefabricated(预制的)units, or printed onsite where the structure will sit, predominantly require much less transport than traditionally-built homes. In contrast, 3D-printed homes typically require limited equipment and transports. This is especially true in remote locations and for small structures like tiny homes.
Like any new technology, we don’t yet know the long-term capabilities of 3D-printed homes. If they don’t stand the test of time as well as brick or wood houses, we could see a massive waste issue in the future. Even though we won’t have those answers for decades, it’s certainly part of the 3D-printed home sustainability situation.
According to a recent survey by 3D printing experts Hubs, there’s been a dramatic increase in the number of people inquiring about both the technology and the availability. When people search for 3D technology, printed homes are the number one most Googled search around the world. It’s not too surprising, considering the potential it has to address housing shortages in a potentially sustainable way.
We’ve covered a lot of 3D-related topics here. While we don’t have all the answers yet. the advantages seem to outweigh the disadvantages so, for now, responsibly made 3D-printed houses remain on the list of sustainable construction options to watch in the near future.
12. What does the underlined word “accomplished” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Stressed. B. Compared. C. Ignored. D. Achieved.
13. What should be a challenge for 3D-printed houses?
A. Types of materials. B. Long-term durability.
C. Convenient service. D. Environment pollution.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards 3D-printed homes?
A. Optimistic. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Are People Interested in 3D-Printed Homes.
B. Are 3D-Printed Homes a Sustainable Option for the Future.
C. How to Print Houses with Nearly Zero Waste.
D. A Recent Survey by 3D Printing Experts.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】

(就像任何新技术一样,我们还不知道3D打印房屋的长期性能。如果它们不能像砖房或木屋那样经受住时间的考验,我们未来可能会看到大量的浪费问题)”可知,3D打印房屋面临的一个可能的挑战是长期耐用性。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We’ve covered a lot of 3D-related topics here. While we don’t have all the answers yet. the advantages seem to outweigh the disadvantages so, for now, responsibly made 3D-printed houses remain on the list of sustainable construction options to watch in the near future. (我们已经讨论了很多与3D打印相关的话题。虽然我们还没有所有答案,但目前来看,优点似乎超过了缺点。因此,就目前而言,负责任地制造的3D打印房屋仍然是未来值得关注的一种可持续建筑选择之一)”可知作者认为负责任地制造的3D打印房屋仍然是未来值得关注的一种可持续建筑选择之一,由此可推知作者对3D打印房屋持乐观态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Few industries have seen the fast-paced level of innovations like the 3D-printing world. What began as a high-priced device capable of printing a small statue in 12 or more hours has exploded into technology that can print the framework of a house in a few days’ time. The process is being touted as a sustainable solution for housing shortages, but is it? The answer is yes, possibly no and it depends. (几乎没有哪个行业能像3D打印领域那样快速创新。起初,这是一种高价设备,能够在12个小时或更长时间打印出一个小雕像,如今这项技术已经飞速发展,几天内就能打印出房屋的框架。这一过程被宣传为解决住房短缺的可持续方案,但事实是否如此呢?答案是肯定的,可能也是否定的,这要视情况而定)”、第四段中“Like any new technology, we don’t yet know the long-term capabilities of 3D-printed homes. If they don’t stand the test of time as well as brick or wood houses, we could see a massive waste issue in the future. (就像任何新技术一样,我们还不知道3D打印房屋的长期性能。如果它们不能像砖房或木屋那样经受住时间的考验,我们未来可能会看到大量的浪费问题)”以及最后一段“We’ve covered a lot of 3D-related topics here. While we don’t have all the answers yet. the advantages seem to outweigh the disadvantages so, for now, responsibly made 3D-printed houses remain on the list of sustainable construction options to watch in the near future. (我们已经讨论了很多与3D打印相关的话题。虽然我们还没有所有答案,但目前来看,优点似乎超过了缺点。因此,就目前而言,负责任地制造的3D打印房屋仍然是未来值得关注的一种可持续建筑选择之一)”可知,3D打印房屋是未来值得关注的一种可持续建筑选择之一,但是它能否被宣传为解决住房短缺的可持续方案,这要视情况而定,B选项“Are 3D-Printed Homes a Sustainable Option for the Future (3D打印房屋是未来可持续的选择吗?)”表达的含义符合语境,适合用作文章标题。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了帝王蝶的数量在经历大幅下降之后,目前正在卷土重来。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:在它们的迁徙数量大幅下降之后,它们目前正处于濒危状态。空处应用副词,作状语,修饰后面的动词endangered。故填currently。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:科学家们认为,气候变化、杀虫剂和非法砍伐正在威胁它们的生存。空处应填名词,作主语,scientist为可数名词,因本句描述的是一个客观情况,谓语动词使用一般现在时,根据谓语动词believe为动词原形可知,主语应为复数形式。位于句首首字母大写,故填Scientists。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:还有一个地方,那里的蝴蝶甚至更多,再往前走,还有一个更大的群体。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词place,引导词词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where或“介词+关系代词”,结合空处前介词in可知,此处应用in which。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:这是最令人印象深刻的大迁徙之一。根据“They fly all the way from the United States and Canada to spend their winters in Mexico(它们从美国和加拿大一路飞来,在墨西哥过冬)”可知此处是把从美国和加拿大飞往墨西哥过冬的迁徙和其他的迁徙进行比较,空处应用形容词最高级,作定语,修饰名词mass migrations。故填most impressive。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但更重要的是,去年的冬天带来了一线希望。ray为可数名词,此处表泛指,应用不定冠词,ray发音以辅音音素开头,且a ray of为固定短语,含义为“一线……”,所以应用a。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:与2020年相比,它们的迁徙数量增加了近三分之一。空处应用非谓语动词,compare与逻辑主语Their migratory population之间为被动关系,应用过去分词,作状语。故填compared。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它们的迁徙是如此引人注目,以至于数百人聚集在墨西哥城附近的这个帝王蝶保护区,目睹这一景象。空处应用形容词,作表语,因空处表示的是事物的属性,应使用v-ing形式的形容词。故填striking。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。空处在句子中做状语表示目的,使用动词不定式。故填to witness。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意:对一些人来说,蝴蝶的生存具有精神上的重要性。陈述客观事实用一般现在时,主语为survival,为不可数名词,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填takes。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:蝴蝶冬眠,到春天的时候,它们就准备好交配并飞回来了。根据上文“The butterflies hibernate(蝴蝶冬眠)”以及下文“by spring, they’ ll be ready to mate and fly back(到春天的时候,它们就准备好交配并飞回来了)”可知,上下文之间为并列关系,应使用并列连词and。故填and。

When Clara Temple was in first grade, about six years ago, she was used to bringing her lunch from home. Every day, she would pack her lunchbox with a sandwich, fruit, and a snack, and eagerly join her friends in the cafeteria.
But one day, there was a mix-up, and she was told to get a hot lunch from the cafeteria instead. As Clara stood in line, she noticed the other kids were entering their student ID numbers on a keypad before receiving their meals. But because it was the first time she had ordered lunch from the school, she didn’t remember her student ID number. She knew that every student was offered a student ID. but she just couldn’t remember it no matter how hard she tried. Panic set in as she moved closer to the front of the line. “When it came time to type in my number, I froze, and I felt embarrassed, like everyone was watching me,” Clara, now 12 years old, recalled.
The kids behind her began to grow impatient, saying things like, “Come on, hurry up, what are you doing?” The pressure made Clara feel even more self-conscious. Her embarrassment turned into tears, and she felt completely overwhelmed. She crumpled to (瘫倒) the floor, unable to stop crying. The worker at the register and a few friends tried to help, but Clara was too upset to regain her composure (镇定) . That’s when her unsung hero appeared — one of the lunch ladies working in the cafeteria, who noticed the scene and rushed over to help.
“The lunch lady stopped everything she was doing,” Clara remembered. “She came over. gently picked me up, and helped me back on my feet.” Although Clara was still crying, the lunch lady seemed to know exactly what to do. With a calm voice, she helped Clara remember her student ID number. Clara got her lunch this time. “I just felt so comfortable,” Clara said. “It was like she truly understood how I was feeling in that moment, without saying much.”

Watching the lady walk away, Clara finally stopped crying and started to enjoy her lunch with her friends. Encouraged by the kind lady, Clara felt safe and warm. She talked with her friends and quickly finished the delicious lunch in a good mood.
After six years, Clara is still moved by the kind lunch lady. “It didn’t sound like a big deal to other people, but it was a really, really big deal for me,” Clara said. The memory of that day stayed with her throughout the years. “I just want her to know how much she made a difference,” Clara shared. “I hope she knows how much she helped me that day.” With the help of her teacher, Clara found the lunch lady recently, expressing her gratitude. The lady was very amazed and happy to see Clara again, who hugged her tightly.
