Whether you are looking to enjoy hearty comfort food or some local delicacies, the city’s dining scene satisfies all comers. Mum’s Place Nothing brings more comfort than mom’s cooking. With recipes inspired by the owners’ mother, this restaurant brings you Nyonya dishes that are truly Malaysian. Located in the district of Damansara Perdana, Mum's Place is a neighbourhood restaurant with its main customers from residents nearby. Some of the best dishes include cencaru fish, devil curry chicken and beef rendang. Cantaloupe Located about 20 minutes from downtown Malacca, it is a home -based eatery with about 10 tables manned by four operators. Unlike most restaurants, food is self-service here, with dishes placed on catering pans for customers to choose from. It serves traditional Malaysian dishes with distinct Chinese influences. You will find rice dumplings and chicken rendang among the offerings. It has two branches in the city. Their dishes sell out fast, so it'd be best to head there before lunch time. Yum Yum Restaurant Situated in the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel, Yum Yum Restaurant is among the locals’ many favourite spots to dine at. It offers an interesting Nyonya and Thai food with Chinese influences that make them stand out. The classic dishes include sambal petai prawns, assam fish head and Yum Yum egg. It can get crowded here, so it’d be best to head there early or call ahead for reservations. Troika Sky Dining Offering fine dining, the impressive Troika Sky Dining undoubtedly stands out from the pack. Set on the 23rd floor of Tower B of The Troika, it goes without saying that the cloud-skimming views here are something else entirely. The food is what helped it stand out. It serves award -winning French, Italian, Greek, and Spanish food and adventurous menu of high- end pizzas and pasta. 1. What do Mum’s Place and Yum Yum Restaurant have in common? A. They are based in hotels. B. They serve Nyonya dishes. C. They need prior reservations. D. They offer breathtaking views. 2. Which restaurant serves western food? A. Mum’s Place. B. Cantaloupe. C.

It opens for lunch earlier than others. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了吉隆坡四家餐厅的特色和菜品。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“With recipes inspired by the owners’ mother, this restaurant brings you Nyonya dishes that are truly Malaysian.(这家餐厅的食谱灵感来自老板的母亲，为您带来真正的马来西亚娘惹菜)”和第四段“It offers an interesting Nyonya and Thai food with Chinese influences(它提供有趣的娘惹和泰国菜，带有中国风味)”可知，两家餐厅都提供娘惹菜。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“It serves award -winning French, Italian, Greek, and Spanish food(它提供获奖的法国、意大利、希腊和西班牙美食)”可知，Troika Sky Dining提供西餐。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Unlike most restaurants, food is self-service here, with dishes placed on catering pans for customers to choose from.(与大多数餐厅不同，这里是自助服务，菜品放在餐盘上供顾客选择)”可知，Cantaloupe是一家自助餐厅。故选A。 B The motivation for his invention came to Aarrav Anil last year when he saw his uncle Arjun, who has Parkinson’s disease, struggle to eat. Some food spilled (溢出) out of his mouth, the rest splattered (溅) on his clothes. Arjun attempted to keep his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his helper to feed him. The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav, 17, from Bengaluru, south India, to turn to robotics. He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and a 3D printer. What emerged was a prototype (原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru. The sensors in the battery-operated spoon detect shaking on one side and activate movement on the other, effectively cancelling out shaking to keep the spoon stable. “I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback-that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork, ” Aarrav says. For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics that began when his mother bought him a Lego set. He has now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world. When the blueprint for the smart spoon won first prize in the future innovators category at last year’s World Robot Olympiad in Germany, Aarrav felt encouraged to make the prototype. More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease, a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainly affects people over the age of 50. Symptoms (症状) include involuntary shaking and stiff muscles. As the disease progresses, eating can become more difficult, forcing people to rely on help from others. Aarrav’s ambition is that every family that has someone with Parkinson’s will have the smart spoon. He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing (回响) in his mind: “Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity?” 4. What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s do? A. Control their physical balance. B. Boost their mood and relieve stress. C. Maintain a good range of movement. D. Feed themselves more independently. 5. What does the underlined part “fine tuning” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Overturning. B. Reconsidering. C. Conducting a study of. D. Making minor changes to. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Parkinson’s in India? A. To show prospects of Aarrav’s invention. B To reveal the nation’s poor health situation. C. To popularize general knowledge of the disease. D. To convince people to volunteer for social causes. 7. What can be learned about Aarrav from the text? A. He enjoys being alone. B. He has an innovative mind. C. He used to be a health worker. D. He longed to be a businessman. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Aarrav发明智能勺子的原因和过程。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Arjun attempted to keep his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his helper to feed him. (Arjun试图保持他的尊严，但沮丧迫使他放弃，叫他的帮手喂他。)”和第二段中“The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav, 17, from Bengaluru, south India, to turn to robotics. (17岁的亚拉夫来自印度南部的班加罗尔，看到叔叔如此猛烈地摇晃勺子，他决定转向机器人技术。)、最后一段中“He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing (回响) in his mind: “Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity?” (他说，他叔叔阿琼的话一直在他脑海里回响:“谁会想到这么一件小事就意味着尊严和侮辱的区别？”)”可知，Aarrav的发明能帮助帕金森氏症患者更独立地自己进食。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章划线词后“the design based on the college’s feedback-that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork (根据学院的反馈，它需要防水，这样在清洗时不会损坏里面的所有电子设备；它必须是可拆卸的，这样就可以清洁和更换叉子)”可知，Aarrav根据学院的反馈对智能勺子进行调整，所以划线词的意思是“调整”。A. Overturning倾覆；B. Reconsidering重新考虑；C. Conducting a study of进行研究； D. Making minor changes to对进行微小更改。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease, a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainly affects people over the age of 50. (据估计，印度有700多万人患有帕金森氏症，这是一种大脑部分逐渐受损的疾病，主要影响50岁以上的人群。)”可知，作者提到印度帕金森氏症的目的是展示Aarrav发明的前景。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav, 17, from Bengaluru, south India, to turn to robotics. He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and a 3D printer. What emerged was a prototype (原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru. (17岁的亚拉夫来自印度南部的班加罗尔，看到叔叔如此猛烈地摇晃勺子，他决定转向机器人技术。他把自己锁在房间里，屋里有微控制器、传感器、马达和一台3D打印机。最终出现的是一个智能勺子的原型，目前正在班加罗尔的RV物理治疗学院进行试验。)”和第五段“For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics that began when his mother bought him a Lego set. He has now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world. (对阿拉夫来说，这是他10年来对机械的兴趣达到的顶峰，他的母亲给他买了一套乐高积木。他现在已经代表印度参加了世界各地的20多个机器人比赛。)”可知，Aarrav有创新的头脑。故选B。 C Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World is one of the more important books about climate change to have been written. Hayhoe is a gifted public speaker and Saving Us is a follow-up to her awesome TED talk in 2018, “The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it”. One of the many refreshing aspects of this book is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate, through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book’s advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe’s experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists. Hayhoe advises against trying to engage with a small minority, the “Dismissives”, who “angrily reject the idea that human-caused climate change is a threat; they are most receptive to misinformation and conspiracy theories (阴谋论)”. There is a warning that offering up more facts about climate change can actually increase polarisation among them. The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives”, almost entirely older men-including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual (相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣)—and is packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the most suspicious of crowds. Her motto is “bond, connect and inspire”, which represents her approach of always looking for points of commonality. She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. He had been so inspired by her TED talk that he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12, 000 conversations that had taken place as a result, claiming that they had helped to convince the council to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy. And so, while it may feel difficult to influence the outcome of the COP26, Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue. 8. What does the book mainly focus on? A. Sharing climate communication tips. B. Teaching presentation skills with TED talks. C. Exploring critical thinking through literature. D. Promoting people’s insight into climate change. 9. Which of the following best describes the advice in the book? A. Humorous but one-sided. B. Novel but contradictory. C. Serious and hard to follow. D. Well-based and workable. 10. How did Hayhoe win over the “Dismissives”? A. By changing their political identity. B. By challenging their fundamental beliefs. C. By offering more facts about climate change. D. By seeking common ground built on a shared love. 11. What does the author want to say by telling the story in paragraph 5? A. World shift to clean energy is unstoppable. B. We should help people prepare for the climate crisis. C. Policymakers are less responsive to market changes. D. Conversations can influence climate decision-making. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。Hayhoe的书——《拯救我们：一位气候科学家在分裂的世界中寻求希望和治愈的案例》是有关气候变化的最重要的书籍之一。文章主要介绍了这本书。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World is one of the more important books about climate change to have been written. (《拯救我们：一位气候科学家在分裂的世界中寻求希望和治愈的案例》是有关气候变化的最重要的书籍之一。)”和第二段中“One of the many refreshing aspects of this book is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate, through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book’s advice is common sense(这本书的许多令人耳目一新的方面之一是海霍讲述了她在沟通方面的成功和失败，通过这些她收集了关于什么有效、什么无效的证据。书中的大部分建议都是常识)”可知，这本书主要分享了气候沟通的建议。故选A。 9题详解】 推理判断题。根据二段中“Much of the book’s advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe’s experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists.(书中的大部分建议都是常识，所有这些建议不仅得到海霍的经验的支持，而且得到了心理学家和社会科学家令人信服的研究的支持。)”可知，书中的这些建议是可行的，根据第四段中“The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives”, almost entirely older men-including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual (相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣)—and is packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the most suspicious of crowds.(这本书包含了她与“不屑一顾的人”相遇的有趣例子，这些人几乎都是年长的男性，其中包括一名对证据不相信的工程师，但她能够通过对编毛衣的共同热情与他建立相互的尊重——书中充满了鼓舞人心的故事，讲述了她如何赢得了最可疑的人群的支持。)”可知，这本书中充满了鼓舞人心的故事，由此可推知，这本书是有事实基础的，即有良好的基础，故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives”, almost entirely older men-including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual (相互) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣)—and is packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the most suspicious of crowds.(这本书包含了她与“不屑一顾的人”相遇的有趣例子，这些人几乎都是年长的男性，其中包括一名对证据不相信的工程师，但她能够通过对编毛衣的共同热情与他建立相互的尊重——书中充满了鼓舞人心的故事，讲述了她如何赢得了最可疑的人群的支持。)”可知，海霍通过在共同的爱好的基础上寻求共同点，来赢得“轻蔑者”的支持，故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. He had been so inspired by her TED talk that he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12, 000 conversations that had taken place as a result, claiming that they had helped to convince the council to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy.(她还讲述了 2019 年伦敦的一次活动后，一名男子向她走来。他受到她的 TED 演讲的启发，开始与旺兹沃斯附近的每个人交谈。他向她展示了由此发生的 12000 次对话的详细信息，声称这些对话帮助说服理事会宣布气候紧急状态并将投资从化石燃料转向可再生能源)”和最后一段中“Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue.(海霍这本令人振奋的书提出了一个有说服力的案例，即我们都可以通过谈论这个问题尽自己的一份力量来取得成功。)”可知，这个故事表明，这些对话帮助说服理事会宣布气候紧急状态并将投资从化石燃料转向可再生能源，由此可推知，作者通过第五段的故事表明对话可以影响气候决策。故选D。 D Ramirez Castañeda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published. “It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.” Castañeda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. A research looked through more than 400, 000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1, 234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species. Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that. Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon. “So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Castañeda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.” 12. What prevented Castañeda’s discoveries from being more widely known? A. Poor management. B. Opposition from her colleagues. C. Her bad reputation. D. The language barrier. 13. What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research? A. Inefficient wildlife conservation. B. A knowledge gap in the scientific world. C. A growing interest in non-English papers. D. Inadequate job opportunities for translators. 14. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs? A. The urgency to protect rare species. B. The need to adopt one global language. C. The challenges in translating scientific texts. D. The biodiversity on the South American continent. 15. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. A potential solution. B. A theoretical model. C. A popular belief. D. A global trend. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章以一位哥伦比亚生物学家遭遇的语言问题为例，揭示了目前有很多非英文论文无法被翻译。对此，一些专家主张科学知识应当转换为一个共同的语言——英语。但作者对此并不认同。作者认为这会导致国际影响力的不平等，并且有些专业术语很难被英语翻译。因此，作者希望建立一个多语种的科学世界。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Ramirez Castañeda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.(Ramirez Castañeda是哥伦比亚的一位生物学家，她花时间在亚马逊研究蛇如何吃掉有毒的青蛙而不生病。尽管她的发现有多种形式和大小，但她和她的同事们一直在努力将他们的生物学发现推广到更广泛的科学界。由于她的母语是西班牙语，她的研究必须翻译成英语才能发表。由于预算或时间的原因，这并不总是可能的，这意味着她的一些发现从未发表过)”可知，语言障碍阻止了Castañeda的发现被更广泛地了解。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题，根据第五段“Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.(当然，科学家可以与英国伙伴合作，或者使用翻译，但这最终会加强对全球北方的依赖循环，导致国际影响力的不平等。单词的特定含义也会给翻译带来问题。例如，在Castafieda对亚马逊土著社区所做的工作中，很难用英语找到一个词来描述森林中的蛇和青蛙)”可知，科学研究中以英语为主导的结果是产生知识鸿沟。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.(例如，在Castafieda对亚马逊土著社区所做的工作中，很难用英语找到一个词来描述森林中的蛇和青蛙)”可知，作者以该词为例，旨在说明翻译一些科学研究中的文本存在挑战。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段““So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Castañeda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”(“所以我们也在失去科学观测，”Castañeda说。“对我来说，不可能把所有东西都翻译成英语。我们需要多语言的科学，我们需要人们能够自如地用自己的语言从事科学研究。有可能切换到一个世界，比如汉语、英语和西班牙语是三种科学语言，就像英语、法语和德语是19世纪的科学语言一样。”)”可知，本段主要介绍一个潜在的解决方案。故选A项。 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior.

Keeping quiet may be very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy. We may hear unpleasant observations from another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of the ways we let others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other party pour out the feelings associated with our actions.(知道什么时候闭嘴是一种美德。保持安静可能非常困难，因为道歉后倾听并不容易。我们可能会听到别人对我们自己的缺点提出不愉快的评论。我们可能会听到愤怒的表情。我们让别人知道我们真正对自己的错误负有责任和负责的方法之一是倾听对方倾诉与我们的行为相关的感受。)”可知，本段主要介绍道歉时要倾听别人，D项“倾听对我们道歉的回应很重要。”符合，故选D。 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。 Last Christmas, I volunteered for WNWNB, a charity which takes surplus (剩余的) produce from New Covent Garden Market and ____21____ it to the local community.

If someone throws something, I catch it almost before I’m aware it has been thrown. When I was young, I had no idea how useful this skill would become. Last week, I was going to visit a friend with her newborn and was on my way to a toy store to buy a gift. I’d once lived in the neighbourhood and I decided to head back to my old cupcake shop for a coffee. Sitting alone at a table outside with my drink, I was approached by an older man, who in a calm and very matter-of-fact way told me to call 911, because there was a baby on a fire escape. I jumped up to see where the baby was. I was so surprised to see it, wearing a little onesie (连体衣) and lying on the fire escape railings (栏杆) between the second and third storeys. I was nervous, so the baby boy became my only priority. As I was on the phone to the emergency services, I made eye contact with the child, keeping him calm, telling him to stay there. Some people were going up the stairs to find the parents, who were apparently sleeping through the whole drama. I just wanted the child to feel safe. I hoped he’d stay there until somebody could rescue him. Apparently he had slipped through pieces of cardboard placed next to an air-conditioning unit in the window, and without bars to protect him he’d crawled (爬) out and up the fire escape towards the next storey. He was only 16 months old. For him to even climb up and balance in that position was incredible. Then he slipped. Instinctively (本能), he grabbed on the railing as he fell, hanging by his arms. I knew he couldn’t hold on, 25 feet above the street, for long. I sensed people had gathered behind, but my attention was purely focused on my intention to catch the baby. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I made sure I was positioned to catch him _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moments after he was saved were exciting. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I made sure I was positioned to catch him. The firemen had not yet arrived, but the baby seemed unable to hold on. There was a lot of people around, but no one had a good idea to save him. The baby’s parents still did not appear. I tried to open my eyes to the glare of the sun to locate the baby. Suddenly the baby’s hand let go of the railing and dropped rapidly. I caught him as quickly as I could. At that moment my hanging heart finally fell down. The moments after he was saved were exciting. The crowd moved out of the way and the firemen arrived. Everyone felt nervous when the doctor examined the baby. A lot of people also expressed their admiration and respect for me. A woman took the baby out of my hands and explained to me that she was the mother. And then She sincerely thanked me. While everyone was circling around the baby, I left silently and walked to my friend’s house. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。“我”一直都知道“我”的手很快。“我”拿着饮料独自坐在小蛋糕店外面的一张桌子旁，一个人让“我”打911，因为在防火梯上有一个婴儿。婴儿本能地抓住栏杆，双臂悬吊着。“我”知道他不可能在离街道25英尺高的地方坚持太久。“我”感觉到有人聚集在后面，但“我”的注意力完全集中在“我”想要抓住孩子上。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我确定了我要抓住他的位置。”可知，第一段可以描写“我”抓住婴儿的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“他被救后的那一刻是激动人心的。”可知，第二段可以描写婴儿获救后人们的反应。 2.续写线索：找好位置——掉下——接住——检查——没受伤——收到感谢——离开 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①到达：arrive/ reach ②拯救：save/ rescue ③出现：appear/ turn up 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/strained ②真诚地：sincerely/genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】I tried to open my eyes to the glare of the sun to locate the baby.(运用了不定式to locate作目的状语) 【高分句型2】Everyone felt nervous when the doctor examined the baby.

Whether you are looking to enjoy hearty comfort food or some local delicacies, the city’s dining scene satisfies all comers. Mum’s Place Nothing brings more comfort than mom’s cooking. With recipes inspired by the owners’ mother, this restaurant brings you Nyonya dishes that are truly Malaysian. Located in the district of Damansara Perdana, Mum's Place is a neighbourhood restaurant with its main customers from residents nearby. Some of the best dishes include cencaru fish, devil curry chicken and beef rendang. Cantaloupe Located about 20 minutes from downtown Malacca, it is a home -based eatery with about 10 tables manned by four operators. Unlike most restaurants, food is self-service here, with dishes placed on catering pans for customers to choose from. It serves traditional Malaysian dishes with distinct Chinese influences. You will find rice dumplings and chicken rendang among the offerings. It has two branches in the city. Their dishes sell out fast, so it'd be best to head there before lunch time. Yum Yum Restaurant Situated in the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel, Yum Yum Restaurant is among the locals’ many favourite spots to dine at. It offers an interesting Nyonya and Thai food with Chinese influences that make them stand out. The classic dishes include sambal petai prawns, assam fish head and Yum Yum egg. It can get crowded here, so it’d be best to head there early or call ahead for reservations. Troika Sky Dining Offering fine dining, the impressive Troika Sky Dining undoubtedly stands out from the pack. Set on the 23rd floor of Tower B of The Troika, it goes without saying that the cloud-skimming views here are something else entirely. The food is what helped it stand out. It serves award -winning French, Italian, Greek, and Spanish food and adventurous menu of high- end pizzas and pasta. 1. What do Mum’s Place and Yum Yum Restaurant have in common? A. They are based in hotels. B. They serve Nyonya dishes. C. They need prior reservations. D. They offer breathtaking views. 2. Which restaurant serves western food? A. Mum’s Place. B. Cantaloupe. C. Yum Yum Restaurant. D. Troika Sky Dining. 3. What’s special about Cantaloupe? A. It is a buffet restaurant. B. It serves hard-to-find dishes. C. It has branches throughout Asia. D. It opens for lunch earlier than others. B The motivation for his invention came to Aarrav Anil last year when he saw his uncle Arjun, who has Parkinson’s disease, struggle to eat. Some food spilled (溢出) out of his mouth, the rest splattered (溅) on his clothes. Arjun attempted to keep his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his helper to feed him. The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav, 17, from Bengaluru, south India, to turn to robotics. He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and a 3D printer. What emerged was a prototype (原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru. The sensors in the battery-operated spoon detect shaking on one side and activate movement on the other, effectively cancelling out shaking to keep the spoon stable. “I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback-that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork, ” Aarrav says. For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics that began when his mother bought him a Lego set. He has now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world. When the blueprint for the smart spoon won first prize in the future innovators category at last year’s World Robot Olympiad in Germany, Aarrav felt encouraged to make the prototype. More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease, a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainly affects people over the age of 50. Symptoms (症状) include involuntary shaking and stiff muscles. As the disease progresses, eating can become more difficult, forcing people to rely on help from others. Aarrav’s ambition is that every family that has someone with Parkinson’s will have the smart spoon. He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing (回响) in his mind: “Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity?” 4. What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s do? A. Control their physical balance. B. Boost their mood and relieve stress. C. Maintain a good range of movement. D. Feed themselves more independently. 5. What does the underlined part “fine tuning” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Overturning. B. Reconsidering. C. Conducting a study of. D. Making minor changes to. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Parkinson’s in India? A. To show prospects of Aarrav’s invention. B. To reveal the nation’s poor health situation. C. To popularize general knowledge of the disease. D. To convince people to volunteer for social causes. 7. What can be learned about Aarrav from the text? A. He enjoys being alone. B. He has an innovative mind. C. He used to be a health worker. D. He longed to be a businessman. C Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World is one of the more important books about climate change to have been written. Hayhoe is a gifted public speaker and Saving Us is a follow-up to her awesome TED talk in 2018, “The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it”. One of the many refreshing aspects of this book is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate, through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book’s advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe’s experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists. Hayhoe advises against trying to engage with a small minority, the “Dismissives”, who “angrily reject the idea that human-caused climate change is a threat; they are most receptive to misinformation and conspiracy theories (阴谋论)”. There is a warning that offering up more facts about climate change can actually increase polarisation among them. The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives”, almost entirely older men-including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual (相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣)—and is packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the most suspicious of crowds. Her motto is “bond, connect and inspire”, which represents her approach of always looking for points of commonality. She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. He had been so inspired by her TED talk that he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12, 000 conversations that had taken place as a result, claiming that they had helped to convince the council to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy. And so, while it may feel difficult to influence the outcome of the COP26, Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue. 8. What does the book mainly focus on? A. Sharing climate communication tips. B Teaching presentation skills with TED talks. C. Exploring critical thinking through literature. D. Promoting people’s insight into climate change. 9. Which of the following best describes the advice in the book? A. Humorous but one-sided. B. Novel but contradictory. C. Serious and hard to follow. D. Well-based and workable. 10. How did Hayhoe win over the “Dismissives”? A. By changing their political identity. B. By challenging their fundamental beliefs. C. By offering more facts about climate change. D. By seeking common ground built on a shared love. 11. What does the author want to say by telling the story in paragraph 5? A. World shift to clean energy is unstoppable. B. We should help people prepare for the climate crisis. C. Policymakers are less responsive to market changes. D. Conversations can influence climate decision-making. D Ramirez Castañeda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published. “It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.” Castañeda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. A research looked through more than 400, 000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1, 234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species. Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that. Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon. “So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Castañeda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.” 12. What prevented Castañeda’s discoveries from being more widely known? A. Poor management. B. Opposition from her colleagues. C. Her bad reputation. D. The language barrier. 13. What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research? A. Inefficient wildlife conservation. B. A knowledge gap in the scientific world. C. A growing interest in non-English papers. D. Inadequate job opportunities for translators. 14. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs? A. The urgency to protect rare species. B. The need to adopt one global language. C. The challenges in translating scientific texts. D. The biodiversity on the South American continent. 15. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. A potential solution. B. A theoretical model. C. A popular belief. D. A global trend. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior.

If someone throws something, I catch it almost before I’m aware it has been thrown. When I was young, I had no idea how useful this skill would become. Last week, I was going to visit a friend with her newborn and was on my way to a toy store to buy a gift. I’d once lived in the neighbourhood and I decided to head back to my old cupcake shop for a coffee. Sitting alone at a table outside with my drink, I was approached by an older man, who in a calm and very matter-of-fact way told me to call 911, because there was a baby on a fire escape. I jumped up to see where the baby was. I was so surprised to see it, wearing a little onesie (连体衣) and lying on the fire escape railings (栏杆) between the second and third storeys. I was nervous, so the baby boy became my only priority. As I was on the phone to the emergency services, I made eye contact with the child, keeping him calm, telling him to stay there. Some people were going up the stairs to find the parents, who were apparently sleeping through the whole drama. I just wanted the child to feel safe. I hoped he’d stay there until somebody could rescue him. Apparently he had slipped through pieces of cardboard placed next to an air-conditioning unit in the window, and without bars to protect him he’d crawled (爬) out and up the fire escape towards the next storey. He was only 16 months old. For him to even climb up and balance in that position was incredible. Then he slipped. Instinctively (本能), he grabbed on the railing as he fell, hanging by his arms. I knew he couldn’t hold on, 25 feet above the street, for long. I sensed people had gathered behind, but my attention was purely focused on my intention to catch the baby. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I made sure I was positioned to catch him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moments after he was saved were exciting. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
