At the age of 17 years 64 days, Mack Rutherford has become the youngest person to fly around the world alone! Mack’s journey around the world lasted five months and he flew across 52 countries in total. His record-breaking flight began in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 23 March, 2022. He was 16 years old when he took off and celebrated his 17th birthday by himself in his plane.
Mack faced many challenges during his adventure. Because of his small-sized aircraft, he had to land whenever the weather got too rough. However, at some points he literally couldn’t land, such as when flying non-stop for 10 hours over an ocean. At other points, he faced extremely hot weather, such as in Dubai. In Sudan, a country in Africa, Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going. Mack battled strong winds and pouring rain during his flight, but he never stopped smiling, joking and updating his flowers on his social media account along the way, and managed to expertly pilot his plane to safety.
And if Mack’s surname “Rutherford” sounds familiar, it’s because his elder sister Zara also flew around the world earlier this year, and still holds the female version of the record! The Rutherford siblings (兄弟姐妹) were inspired by their parents to become pilots. “I have known for certain I wanted to fly since I was eleven,” Mack said, “My dad Sam is a professional ferry pilot, my mum Beatrice is a recreational (娱乐的) private pilot.”
Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals, “No matter what background you have, I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and you shouldn’t limit yourself by others’ expectations.” With both feet firmly back on the ground now, it’s time for Mack to turn his attention towards catching up on his schoolwork!
36. What can we know about Mack’s flight?
A. It began when he was 17 years 64 days old.
B. It made him the youngest person to fly alone.
C. It was a successful record-breaking attempt.
D. It took off in the capital of his home country.
37. What challenges did Mack face?
A. Limitation of flight hours.
B. Darkness and safety issues.
C. Loneliness of flying alone.
D. Bad weather and long distance.
38. Why did Mack and his sister want to be pilots?
A. To be inspired by their parents.
B To encourage each other to dream big.
C. To serve as examples for their siblings.
D. To live up to their parents’ expectations.
39. What does Mack hope to do with his attempt?
A. To encourage young people to become pilots.
B. To inspire young people to fight for their dreams.
C. To warn young people of the dangers of flying.
D. To free young people of worries about school work.
40. What does Mack will do next?

C. He will work towards his another dream.
D. He will focus on his schoolwork.

Every spring, as the weather warms, trees up and down the East Coast explode in a display of bright green life as leaves fill their branches, and every fall, the same leaves provide one of nature’s great color displays of vivid yellow, orange and red.
Thanks to climate change, the timing of these events has shifted over the last two decades, Harvard scientists say.
Andrew Richardson, an associate professor of organismic and evolutionary biology, and research associate Trevor Keenan worked with colleagues from seven different institutions on a study which found that forests throughout the eastern United States are showing signs of spring growth dramatically earlier, and that the growing season in some areas extends further into the fall.
Richardson said, “Climate change isn’t just about warmer temperatures. It’s also about changes in precipitation (降水) patterns... so in the future, an earlier spring might not help forests take up more carbon dioxide if they end up running out of water in mid-summer.”
The research combined information from three sources. Using satellite data, Keenan tracked when forests across the region began to turn green in the spring, and when leaves began to turn yellow in the fall. Ground observations made every three to seven days at the Harvard Forest in Petersham and a long-term research site in New Hampshire provided information about the state of buds, leaves and branches. When combined with records from instrument towers, the data sets allowed the researchers to paint a richly detailed picture that shows spring starting earlier, and the growing season lasting longer than at any point in the past two decades.
Another important result, Richardson said, was the discovery of a significant source of error in existing computer models on how forest ecosystems work.
“This shows an opportunity to improve the models and how they simulate how forests will work under future climate scenarios forecast.” he said.
The real power of the findings, however, may be in helping to make the effects of climate change clearer to the public, the researchers said.
41. What is the reason of the earlier spring according to the Harvard scientists?
A. The human activities. B. The climate change.
C. The tree growth. D. The reduction in water.
42. What can we infer from Richardson’s words in the fourth paragraph?
A An earlier spring can only bring benefits.
B. The influence of climate change is complex.
C. The water in mid-summer will increase.
D. The role of forests becomes less important.
43. What is closest in meaning to the underlined word simulate in the seventh paragraph?
A. Change B. Explain C. Imitate D. Create
44. What is the real power of the findings of the research?
A. It helps scientists to figure out how forest ecosystems work.
B. It reflects how the growing season is extending faster.
C. It provides an opportunity to improve the computer models.
D. It helps to make the effects of climate change clearer to the public.
45. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To tell us people should be more aware of the climate change.
B. To tell us the climate change has some effects on the world.
C. To tell us the early spring in eastern USA is a good time to travel.
D. To tell us high technology is useful to detect the climate change.

五、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India. I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master’s degree in IT and graduate from a US university.
I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so captivated by the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind to chase a master’s degree in IT.
At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. Coming from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the course seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up.
Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans’ accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day.
I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation.
When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary.
46. Why did the author’s family and friends say that it was hard for him to pursue a master’s degree in IT? (no more than 8 words)
______________________________________________________________
47. What does the underlined part “captivated by” in paragraph 2 mean? (2 words)
______________________________________________________________
48. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? (no more than 10 words)
______________________________________________________________
49. What made the author graduate with a higher GPA and a good job offer? (no more than 15 words)
______________________________________________________________
50. What do you learn from the author’s story? (no more than 25 words)
______________________________________________________________
六、书面表达(满分15分)

At the age of 17 years 64 days, Mack Rutherford has become the youngest person to fly around the world alone! Mack’s journey around the world lasted five months and he flew across 52 countries in total. His record-breaking flight began in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 23 March, 2022. He was 16 years old when he took off and celebrated his 17th birthday by himself in his plane.
Mack faced many challenges during his adventure. Because of his small-sized aircraft, he had to land whenever the weather got too rough. However, at some points he literally couldn’t land, such as when flying non-stop for 10 hours over an ocean. At other points, he faced extremely hot weather, such as in Dubai. In Sudan, a country in Africa, Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going. Mack battled strong winds and pouring rain during his flight, but he never stopped smiling, joking and updating his flowers on his social media account along the way, and managed to expertly pilot his plane to safety.
And if Mack’s surname “Rutherford” sounds familiar, it’s because his elder sister Zara also flew around the world earlier this year, and still holds the female version of the record! The Rutherford siblings (兄弟姐妹) were inspired by their parents to become pilots. “I have known for certain I wanted to fly since I was eleven,” Mack said, “My dad Sam is a professional ferry pilot, my mum Beatrice is a recreational (娱乐的) private pilot.”
Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals, “No matter what background you have, I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and you shouldn’t limit yourself by others’ expectations.” With both feet firmly back on the ground now, it’s time for Mack to turn his attention towards catching up on his schoolwork!
36. What can we know about Mack’s flight?
A. It began when he was 17 years 64 days old.
B. It made him the youngest person to fly alone.
C. It was a successful record-breaking attempt.
D. It took off in the capital of his home country.
37. What challenges did Mack face?
A. Limitation of flight hours.
B. Darkness and safety issues.
C. Loneliness of flying alone.

38. Why did Mack and his sister want to be pilots?
A. To be inspired by their parents.

C
Every spring, as the weather warms, trees up and down the East Coast explode in a display of bright green life as leaves fill their branches, and every fall, the same leaves provide one of nature’s great color displays of vivid yellow, orange and red.
Thanks to climate change, the timing of these events has shifted over the last two decades, Harvard scientists say.
Andrew Richardson, an associate professor of organismic and evolutionary biology, and research associate Trevor Keenan worked with colleagues from seven different institutions on a study which found that forests throughout the eastern United States are showing signs of spring growth dramatically earlier, and that the growing season in some areas extends further into the fall.
Richardson said, “Climate change isn’t just about warmer temperatures. It’s also about changes in precipitation (降水) patterns... so in the future, an earlier spring might not help forests take up more carbon dioxide if they end up running out of water in mid-summer.”
The research combined information from three sources. Using satellite data, Keenan tracked when forests across the region began to turn green in the spring, and when leaves began to turn yellow in the fall. Ground observations made every three to seven days at the Harvard Forest in Petersham and a long-term research site in New Hampshire provided information about the state of buds, leaves and branches. When combined with records from instrument towers, the data sets allowed the researchers to paint a richly detailed picture that shows spring starting earlier, and the growing season lasting longer than at any point in the past two decades.
Another important result, Richardson said, was the discovery of a significant source of error in existing computer models on how forest ecosystems work.
“This shows an opportunity to improve the models and how they simulate how forests will work under future climate scenarios forecast.” he said.
The real power of the findings, however, may be in helping to make the effects of climate change clearer to the public, the researchers said.
41. What is the reason of the earlier spring according to the Harvard scientists?
A. The human activities. B. The climate change.
C. The tree growth. D. The reduction in water.
42. What can we infer from Richardson’s words in the fourth paragraph?
A. An earlier spring can only bring benefits.
B. The influence of climate change is complex.
C. The water in mid-summer will increase.
D. The role of forests becomes less important.
43. What is closest in meaning to the underlined word simulate in the seventh paragraph?
A. Change B. Explain C. Imitate D. Create
44. What is the real power of the findings of the research?
A. It helps scientists to figure out how forest ecosystems work.
B. It reflects how the growing season is extending faster.
C. It provides an opportunity to improve the computer models.
D It helps to make the effects of climate change clearer to the public.
45. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To tell us people should be more aware of the climate change.
B. To tell us the climate change has some effects on the world.
C. To tell us the early spring in eastern USA is a good time to travel.
D. To tell us high technology is useful to detect the climate change.

五、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India. I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master’s degree in IT and graduate from a US university.
I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so captivated by the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind to chase a master’s degree in IT.
At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. Coming from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the course seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up.
Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans’ accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day.
I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation.
When you have a dream to realize there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary.
46. Why did the author’s family and friends say that it was hard for him to pursue a master’s degree in IT? (no more than 8 words)
______________________________________________________________
47. What does the underlined part “captivated by” in paragraph 2 mean? (2 words)
______________________________________________________________
48. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? (no more than 10 words)
______________________________________________________________
49. What made the author graduate with a higher GPA and a good job offer? (no more than 15 words)
______________________________________________________________
50. What do you learn from the author’s story? (no more than 25 words)
______________________________________________________________
【答案】46. Because he was a non-IT student.
47. Fascinated by.
48. Many difficulties and setbacks the author came across.
49. Taking all challenges as his chances and believing hard work was his strength.
50. When facing challenges on the way to our goals, we should believe in our strength and spare no efforts to overcome them.
