On one particular day, we were up in the north of queensland. My husband, dandie, went for a walk. We followed the road and then down this path, then we looked at our watches and realized, actually, we were going to miss our bus. So we decided to take a shortcut. Instead of going back to the road, we just walk over the hill. Then we were faced with this problem that a river cut off our way. We thought the water would go up to our knees, and IT wasn't running fast. So we started to walk through the river. When we got about halfway through, suddenly my husband shouted, quick run. So we started running and finally went to the other side. I stood there with water dripping off my hair. I asked, why did we have to run? My husband pointed to a large board near the river. On the board was written, snakes in the river do not cross. I looked at my husband with my eyes and mouth open. Well, we went to australia for our honeymoon this year.

At the bag company，Knight saw opportunities for improvement.This was true of most places where she spent considerable time.Instead of folding every paper bag by hand，Knight wondered if she might instead be able to make them more cleanly and rapidly via an automated mechanism.Folding by hand was the inefficient and error-prone(易出错的) task she was charged with.She built a working model of her elegant paper-folding equipment.Today，a scaled-down but fully functional model of Knight’s groundbreaking machine is housed at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.It is actually an update on her original design，patented in its own right in 1879. The implications of Knight’s eventful life were widely reported as early as 1913，one year before her death.The New York Times，in what was then a refreshingly progressive move，ran a lengthy feature on “Women Who Are Inventors”．Knight was the headliner.No doubt many female inventors of the early 1900s and later were spurred on by Knight’s courageous example.She was always seen as an enduring source of inspiration for anyone with original ideas looking to better the world around them.Cheap and good-quality paper bags are still manufactured using updated versions of Knight’s “industrial origami” machine and remind us just how much one resolute woman was able to achieve. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Knight小时候爱好创造到以后发明折纸袋机器并在一番曲折后获得专利的故事。 24．What made Margaret Knight skilled in varieties of trades? A．The systematic schooling she received. B．The suggestions she got from experts in these trades. C．Her experiences of working in various technical posts. D．Her interest in reading books on how to improve working skills. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中最后两句可知，在各种技术岗位上工作的经历使玛格丽特·奈特精通各种行业。故选C。 25．Why did Margaret Knight create a paper-folding machine model? A．To make a name for herself. B．To reduce the consumption of paper bags. C．To improve the efficiency of paper bag production. D．To prove how much a resolute woman could achieve. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中第三、四句可知，奈特想知道，她是否可以通过自动化机制更干净、更快速地折叠纸袋。手工折叠工作效率低下，而且容易出错。因此，玛格丽特·奈特创造折纸机模型是为了提高纸袋的生产效率。故选C。 26．What does the underlined phrase “spurred on” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Motivated. B．Defeated. C．Fascinated. D．Replaced. 答案　A 解析　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“by Knight’s courageous example”和其后一句可知，她一直被视为激励人心的榜样和一个持久的灵感来源。因此画线部分的意思是“驱使，鼓励”。故选A。 27．What is the text? A．A short story. B．A book review. C．A science report. D．A biography. 答案　D 解析　文章体裁题。本文讲述了Knight小时候爱好创造到以后发明折纸袋机器并在一番曲折后获得专利的故事，是关于Knight的人物传记。故选D。 C Scientists in Switzerland have used lasers(激光) to change the path of a lightning strike.The experiment was carried out on Säntis mountain in Switzerland，near a radio and TV tower that’s hit by lightning about 100 times a year.Using a special laser，the researchers were able to guide the lightning strike. Scientists have been trying to find a way to protect buildings from lightning for a long time.Currently，the best way to protect buildings from lightning is by putting metal rods(棒) on the buildings.But lightning rods can only protect a small area.If a building is very large，it needs a lot of lightning rods.But some buildings—such as airports—are so large that it’s difficult to protect the whole building using lightning rods. Another idea is to use lasers to guide lightning.The idea of using lasers to guide lightning isn’t new.Scientists have been working on the idea for over 20 years.They have successfully guided lightning with lasers inside a laboratory. But until recently，scientists haven’t been able to guide lightning with lasers outside.That changed in the summer of 2021.Using a powerful laser that can fire about 1,000 times a second，scientists in Switzerland were able to guide lightning for 164 feet away. The heat from the laser creates a path of air that is less thick than the air around it.The path also has a special charge.The lightning can follow this path almost as if it were a lightning rod. But despite the progress，the laser still didn’t guide the lightning as far as the scientists would like.To protect buildings from most lightning，lasers will have to guide the lightning for a much longer distance.The laser is also very expensive.The scientists say it cost about $2 billion.It will probably take 10 or more years before a laser like this is truly able to protect large buildings. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了用激光引导闪电从而保护建筑物的野外试验。 28．What is this new technology expected to protect? A．High buildings. B．Large buildings. C．Important buildings. D．Complex buildings. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中最后三句可知，传统避雷针只能保护较小的建筑物。所以这项新技术被期望能保护大型建筑物。故选B。 29．What do we know about the new technology of using lasers? A．It works only in the lab. B．It is an invention of Swiss scientists. C．It cools the air around the lightning. D．It is not mature and still being tested. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。第一段中提到“experiment”，第三段中提到“laboratory”，最后一段中提到“the laser still didn’t guide the lightning as far as the scientists would like”，由此可推知，这项技术还不成熟，尚在测试阶段。故选D。 30．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the new technology? A．Its cost control. B．Its disadvantages. C．Its wide application. D．Its promising future. 答案　B 解析　段落大意题。根据最后一段中的“But despite the progress，the laser still didn’t guide the lightning...The laser is also very expensive.The scientists say it cost about $2 billion...”可知，本段主要讲述了利用激光避雷的弱点，比如引导距离不够远、成本较高等。故选B。 31．What can be the best title of this text? A．Guide Lightning with a Laser B．Use Lasers to Block Lightning C．Lightning Rods Are out of Date D．Lightning Can Be Used to Serve People 答案　A 解析　标题归纳题。根据文章第一句可知，本文主要介绍了科学家们利用激光引导闪电改变路径，从而保护建筑物。故选A。 D This summer we witnessed interview teams at the North Pole wearing short sleeve shirts due to the warm weather.A study published on Aug.29 revealed more concerning issues in the supposedly coldest area of the world.Zombie ice from a massive Greenland ice sheet was confirmed to be melting，which would eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own，reported Associated Press (AP)． Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice，but is no longer getting fed by larger glaciers.Since glaciers are getting less snow to complement the amount of ice melted，once the zombie ice is melted，it cannot be re-formed. Scientists decided to look at the balance of the ice.In perfect equilibrium(平衡)，snow in the mountains of Greenland flows down and thickens the sides of glaciers，balancing out what’s melting on the edges，according to AP.But in the last few decades，there is less refill and more melting，creating an imbalance. Study co-author William Colgan told AP that 3.3 percent of Greenland’s total ice volume will melt eventually.“Starving would be a good phrase for what’s happening to the ice，” Colgan added. With a great number of natural resources buried under the earth，areas of melted ice revealed treasures that attracted the world’s richest men.According to CNN，in early August，there was a “treasure hunt” in Greenland.Billionaires，including Bill Gates and others，financially backed KoBold Metals，a US-based mineral exploration company，to explore the rare metals under the glaciers in Greenland.The company told CNN that since there were enough minerals to power hundreds of millions of electric vehicles，the critical resource is capable of powering the green energy transition.While investors are taking advantage of global warming，experts feared that the mineral exploration is likely to worsen the local environment，draining up the world’s resources at a faster rate. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由于全球变暖，冰川正在融化，带来了商机，但是专家对此表示担忧。 32．What happened in North Pole this summer? A．The massive Greenland sheet has melted. B．North Pole experienced unusual weather. C．The melted ice has raised sea level significantly. D．The interview teams revealed concerning issues. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，在北极这个地方，天气热得可以穿短袖，这是非寻常现象。故选B。 33．What can we know from the passage? A．Starvation is an issue worth attention. B．Zombie ice can be easily formed again. C．The recent snow refill cannot balance out the melting. D．3.3 percent of zombie ice volume will melt ultimately. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句和第三段的最后一句可知，现在冰川的积雪越来越少，无法补充融化的冰量，一旦僵尸冰融化了，它就无法重新形成，即积雪的补充不能平衡融化。故选C。 34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

In one example，a user posted a selfie that Buzz Aldrin，the famous astronaut，took of himself in space in 1966.But perhaps the funniest example was a black-and-white selfie that was taken by American photographer Robert Cornelius in 1839. 37 Why do people love to take selfies so much? Is it because we’re naturally vain(虚荣的) and proud? 38 So we take photos of ourselves，post them online and wait for people to give us compliments(称赞)． 39 For example，if you take one while you’re on holiday and post it online，criminals might see it and know that you aren’t home.They then might break into your home while you’re away. There are even people who have died while taking selfies.According to Forbes magazine,127 people around the world died while taking selfies from 2014 to 2016.It can be very dangerous to take selfies while standing near high places，like roofs and cliffs.Taking selfies underwater or on train tracks is also quite dangerous. 40 No selfie is worth risking your life for—no matter how good it might look. A．So be careful out there. B．It is quite possibly the first ever selfie. C．Taking selfies can be dangerous，though. D．Internet users immediately proved her wrong. E．Posting selfies also allows you to control your image online. F．Maybe it’s actually the opposite—perhaps we feel insecure or shy. G．But taking a selfie is much more than just holding your smartphone in the air. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了历史上早期出现的自拍证据，并且分析了大家喜欢自拍的原因以及自拍存在的危险。 36．答案　D 解析　根据后文“They posted evidence of selfies that appeared much earlier in history.”可知，网友们找出了更早的自拍证据证明Paris Hilton的错误。D选项中的Internet users与后文的They呼应，符合语境。故选D。 37．答案　B 解析　根据空前一句可知，前文通过历史追溯了1839年的一张黑白自拍照。B选项“It is quite possibly the first ever selfie.”与前文呼应，指出这可能是第一张自拍照。故选B。 38．答案　F 解析　根据空前两个问题可知，后文应该对人们喜欢自拍的原因进行回答。F选项“Maybe it’s actually the opposite—perhaps we feel insecure or shy.”回答了前文提出的问题，即人们也许是感到不安全或者害羞才拍摄自拍照，符合语境。故选F。 39．答案　C 解析　根据空后两句可知，此处强调自拍带来的危险。C选项“Taking selfies can be dangerous，though.”引起下文，指出自拍可能会让犯罪分子知道你不在家，即带来危险，能概括本段信息。故选C。 40．答案　A 解析　根据空前一句可知，此处强调在水下或铁轨上自拍也相当危险，故下文应该提出对此情况要多加小心。A选项“So be careful out there.”承接前文。故选A。 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。 For the past ten years，my dad and I have attended the same school—he as an administrator and I as a student.Our relationship，in and out of school，has been totally unpredictable.

Melati didn’t think much about it until one day her teacher gave a lesson on some world heroes.Each of those people had sparked movements of positive changes in the world.They believed in the impact they could have and they did inspire more people to do something meaningful.After school，Melati walked home slowly in silence，concerned about the vast amount of plastic rubbish on the beach.The heroes crossed her mind.If they could do it，we could do it too，she thought.The idea lit her up.She couldn’t wait to share what she thought with Isabel and quickened her pace. “So many plastic bags around! The beach is dirty and messy! It’s so terrible! We have lost the clean and beautiful beach.Can’t we do something to get it back？” Melati said heartily.Isabel felt a bit puzzled at what to do，but she also had a strong desire to do something.Picturing a beach as fascinating as before in mind，the pair jumped with joy. They talked a lot，anxious to know how Dad and Mom would respond to their ideas.That night when the family sat by the dinner table，the sisters eagerly got their ideas across.While Mom and Dad listened to the girls carefully，their eyes shone.“How amazing that would be! We are so proud of you！” Dad exclaimed.Mom came up，gave them a thumb up and hugged the sisters. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Melati and Isabel decided to make a positive impact straight away.
