考查it固定句型与词组搭配。“It’s time for sb. to do sth.”是固定句型,意为“是某人做某事的时候了”,所以第一空用to go;“Let’s + 动词原形”是固定用法,表示“咱们做某事吧” ,所以第二空用go。故选A。
3. Tianjin is one of ________ cities in China.
A. big B. biggest C. the biggest D. the bigger
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:天津是中国最大的城市之一。
考查最高级的用法。big大的,形容词;biggest为big的最高级;the biggest(the+形容词最高级);the bigger(the+形容词比较级)。根据“one of...cities”可知,“one of+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”,空处需填“the+形容词最高级”,biggest为形容词最高级。故选C。

Space junk is a danger to the satellites and may hurt astronauts. There are tens of millions of pieces of rubbish in space. Some of the pieces are from passing comets (彗星) but most of them are from large broken satellites and rockets after they stopped working.
Though satellite technology offers some advantages to people, the increasing use of it could make large areas of Earth’s orbit (轨道) into bad condition. The space closely around our planet is becoming increasingly crowded with over 9,000 satellites in orbit today, and the Eastern Southern Observatory (ESO) shows that this number may grow to 75,000 by 2030.
As Space.com reported in October 2022, the International Space Station (ISS) had to think about how to stay away from a piece of space junk from a broken Russian satellite in 2021. In November 2021, astronauts in the ISS had to stay inside their spaceship when the space station passed close to space junk.
NASA scientists have called for an agreement to make sure “space junk” doesn’t make the activities in Earth’s orbit into trouble and they are working on it.” Satellites are important to the people and Earth itself. However, using too much space will put our planet into a dangerous situation (情况),” said Melissa Quinn, Head of Spaceport Cornwall. “I hope all countries need to pay attention, to understand the importance of the next step, and to work together, to keep the problem under control.”
26. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. space B. Earth C. rubbish D. satellite technology
27. The report in Paragraph 3 mainly shows that ________.
A. the Russian satellite has just badly broken
B. a piece of space rubbish can be very dangerous
C. the main job of the ISS is to collect the space junk
D. space rubbish is everywhere around the space station
28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Most of space junk are pieces from passing comets.
B. There may be 75,000 satellites in the earth orbit by 2030.
C. NASA has already kept the “space junk” problem in control.
D. Scientists think the space junk won’t hurt astronauts any more.
【答案】26. D 27. B 28. B
【解析】

【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Though satellite technology offers some advantages to people, the increasing use of it could make large areas of Earth’s orbit (轨道) into bad condition.”可知,尽管卫星技术给人们带来了一些好处,但过度使用“它”可能会使地球轨道的大部分区域处于不良状态。这里的“it”指的是前文提到的“satellite technology”,即卫星技术。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据“As Space.com reported in October 2022, the International Space Station (ISS) had to think about how to stay away from a piece of space junk from a broken Russian satellite in 2021.”可知,国际空间站需要考虑如何避开一块来自2021年一颗破损的俄罗斯卫星的太空垃圾,这表明太空垃圾可能非常危险。故选B。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据“and the Eastern Southern Observatory (ESO) shows that this number may grow to 75,000 by 2030.”可知,到2030年,地球轨道上可能有75,000颗卫星。故选B。
C
Every day, we hear about people who are trying to lose weight. There are so many different diets to choose from, but which one is best? What should we eat, and what shouldn’t we eat? The answer is simple: we need to eat a healthy diet.
So what is a healthy diet? It’s not complicated (复杂) We just need to eat the right amount (量) of food from each of the five main food groups.
The first group is fruit and vegetables. We need to eat at least five portions (份) of these every day. That might sound like a lot, but it’s not really-a glass of orange juice, a banana and two vegetables with dinner means you’ve had your five portions.
Next, we need to eat some starchy (富含淀粉的) foods, like bread, rice or potatoes (about six portions a day). These foods give us energy.
We also need to eat some protein (蛋白质), like meat, fish, eggs or beans. We should have about two portions a day.
Then there’s milk and dairy products (乳制品). We need about three portions of these every day.
Finally, we need to eat only a small amount of foods that contain sugar and fat.
Some people think that a healthy diet is a boring diet. This isn’t true! You can still eat your favourite foods, but you need to eat them in moderation. For example, if you love chocolate, you don’t have to stop eating it completely. Just eat it once in a while, and make sure you don’t eat too much.
It’s important to remember that a healthy diet is not the same as a diet where you eat less food. In fact, eating very little food is not good for you. It’s much better to eat a variety of different foods, and to eat regular (有规律的) meals. If you do this, you’ll feel full and satisfied, and you won’t be tempted (诱惑) to snack on unhealthy foods.
So next time you’re thinking about going on a diet, stop and think. Do you really need to lose weight? Or would it be better to just eat a healthy diet?
29. What does the writer think of a healthy diet?
A. It’s not very complicated. B. It’s a boring diet.
C. It means eating less food. D. It makes us feel less full.
30. What is the meaning of “in moderation” in Paragraph 8?
A. Avoid them completely.
B. Eat them with every meal but in small amounts.
C. Eat them frequently and in large amounts.
D. Only eat them once in a while and in small amounts.
31. According to the passage, what should we do to have a healthy diet?
A. Eat a variety of foods in the right amount.
B. Never eat foods high in sugar and fat.
C. Go on a diet to lose weight.
D. Eat less food overall.
【答案】29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了健康饮食的相关信息,包括各类食物的推荐摄入量以及健康饮食的注意事项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据“So what is a healthy diet? It’s not complicated (复杂).”可知,作者认为健康饮食并不复杂,故选A。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“For example, if you love chocolate, ... you don’t eat too much.”可知,如果你喜欢巧克力,你不必完全停止吃它,只是偶尔吃一次,并确保不要吃太多,所以“in moderation”的意思是“偶尔吃且少量吃”,故选D。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“We just need to eat the right amount (量) of food from each of the five main food groups.”以及全文内容可知,为了拥有健康的饮食,我们应该吃适量的各种食物,故选A。
D
Making a star on Earth
When you look at the night sky, what you see are actually lots of “power plants (发电站)”. Every star makes a huge amount of energy through nuclear fusion (核聚变). For years, scientists have tried to make this kind of energy. They need to make a “mini star” on Earth. Recently, some scientists made a big step forward.
In February 2022, the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in Oxfordshire, UK. doubled a world record in 1997. The machine there, named Jet, used fusion engines (发动机) to make the same amount of energy as four wind turbines (涡轮机) make, reported The Guardian.
In the past no experiment could make more energy than what was used to start the fusion engine. This new experiment, although only lasting five seconds, showed it’s possible to make more power. The reaction (反应) stopped when the equipment got too hot. This problem can be solved with cooling systems. Future fusion reactions may last much longer than five seconds—minutes or even hours.
Why do we care so much about star power? Fusion reactions would provide power to everyone on the earth—enough for everyone to use for thousands or millions of years. They’re also clean-they don’t produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) or radioactive (放射性的) waste.
You may wonder why fusion energy is so hard to make. Creating conditions similar to a star is not easy. The machine must reach temperatures as high as 10 times that of the sun’s core (核心).
Even so, it’s time to get excited about star power. If it can be successfully rolled out, it will be a landmark in human history.
32. What are compared to “power plants” in the first paragraph?
A. scientists. B. stars in the sky.
C. nuclear plants. D. mini stars on the earth.
33. According to the passage, what was the recent achievement at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy?
A. They produced four times the energy of four wind turbines.
B. They created a fusion reaction that lasted for several hours.
C. They doubled the previous world record for fusion energy production.
D. They successfully created a “mini star” on Earth.
34. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Reasons to use fusion energy.
B. Why we need to find cleaner power.
C. The advantages of fusion reactions.
D. The great amount of energy inside a star.
35. What can we learn about fusion energy from the passage?
A. It is very hard to make it on the earth.
B. Scientists are trying to get it from the core of the sun.
C. It can be produced in a cold environment with cooling systems.
D. It is hopeful that scientists will make it on the earth successfully soon.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. A

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据“When you look at the night sky, what you see are actually lots of ‘power plants (发电站)’. Every star makes a huge amount of energy through nuclear fusion (核聚变).”可知,夜空中看到的星星被比作“发电站”,因为每颗星星都通过核聚变产生大量能量。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In February 2022, the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in Oxfordshire ... to make the same amount of energy as four wind turbines (涡轮机) make”可知,英国卡勒姆聚变能源中心使1997年的世界纪录翻倍,用聚变发动机产生了和四个风力涡轮机相同数量的能量。故选C。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“Why do we care so much about star power? ... they don’t produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) or radioactive (放射性的) waste.”可知,该段主要讲了核聚变反应能为地球上每个人提供足够使用数千年甚至数百万年的能量,且清洁无污染,即核聚变反应的优势。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据“You may wonder why fusion energy is so hard to make. Creating conditions similar to a star is not easy. The machine must reach temperatures as high as 10 times that of the sun’s core (核心).”可知,在地球上制造聚变能非常困难,要创造类似星星的条件,机器必须达到太阳核心温度的10倍。故选A。

Some Ideas to Start Your Day Off (休息日) Right
Having success and being able to meet one’s goals require (需要) knowledge, a sense of direction, hard work and resources. That sounds like a very difficult task. However, research shows that successful people have similar habits in their everyday life. For example, starting a day on the right foot is very important to them. Here are some ideas on how to start your day off right.
◇Get up an hour early.
Getting up an hour early is a good way to start the day. Studies show that your attention span (注意力的持续时间) is the strongest in the morning. In fact, the morning may be the most productive part of your day. Benjamin Franklin would probably agree. He once said, “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
◇Drink a glass of water with lemon juice.
After brushing your teeth, drink a glass of water with lemon juice. Why? Health experts say that this drink jump-starts the body’s metabolism (新陈代谢). Not only does it jump-start your body’s cells, it also keeps them moving throughout the day.
◇ Don’t jump into social media as soon as you wake up.
You wake up in the morning. You decide to check social media. Well, don’t. It’s a waste of time and may bring unhealthy emotions. We’ve all done it. You see a Weibo post about some society problems and the heated discussion pulls you in. Before you know it, an hour has passed, and you’re angry with people you don’t even know.
◇ Exercise!
Physical fitness trainers often suggest some form of exercise in the morning because the middle of the day is a busy time for most people. By the end of the day, you may not have the time or energy to exercise. Exercising in the morning prevents that from happening.
Isabel Smith one of the experts on the research team, said, “In order to feel better during the day, I tried the healthy morning routines for a month. The result was amazing.” She also added that she would keeping doing so in the future.
36. When is your attention span the strongest according to studies?
______________________________________________
37. Why shouldn’t you jump into social media as soon as you wake up?

Space junk is a danger to the satellites and may hurt astronauts. There are tens of millions of pieces of rubbish in space. Some of the pieces are from passing comets (彗星), but most of them are from large broken satellites and rockets after they stopped working.
Though satellite technology offers some advantages to people, the increasing use of it could make large areas of Earth’s orbit (轨道) into bad condition. The space closely around our planet is becoming increasingly crowded with over 9,000 satellites in orbit today, and the Eastern Southern Observatory (ESO) shows that this number may grow to 75,000 by 2030.
As Space.com reported in October 2022, the International Space Station (ISS) had to think about how to stay away from a piece of space junk from a broken Russian satellite in 2021. In November 2021, astronauts in the ISS had to stay inside their spaceship when the space station passed close to space junk.
NASA scientists have called for an agreement to make sure “space junk” doesn’t make the activities in Earth’s orbit into trouble and they are working on it.” Satellites are important to the people and Earth itself. However, using too much space will put our planet into a dangerous situation (情况),” said Melissa Quinn, Head of Spaceport Cornwall. “I hope all countries need to pay attention, to understand the importance of the next step, and to work together, to keep the problem under control.”
26. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. space B. Earth C. rubbish D. satellite technology
27. The report in Paragraph 3 mainly shows that ________.
A. the Russian satellite has just badly broken
B. a piece of space rubbish can be very dangerous
C. the main job of the ISS is to collect the space junk
D. space rubbish is everywhere around the space station
28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Most of space junk are pieces from passing comets.
B. There may be 75,000 satellites in the earth orbit by 2030.
C. NASA has already kept the “space junk” problem in control.
D Scientists think the space junk won’t hurt astronauts any more.

Every day, we hear about people who are trying to lose weight. There are so many different diets to choose from, but which one is best? What should we eat, and what shouldn’t we eat? The answer is simple: we need to eat a healthy diet.
So what is a healthy diet? It’s not complicated (复杂). We just need to eat the right amount (量) of food from each of the five main food groups.
The first group is fruit and vegetables. We need to eat at least five portions (份) of these every day. That might sound like a lot, but it’s not really-a glass of orange juice, a banana and two vegetables with dinner means you’ve had your five portions.
Next, we need to eat some starchy (富含淀粉的) foods, like bread, rice or potatoes (about six portions a day). These foods give us energy.
We also need to eat some protein (蛋白质), like meat, fish, eggs or beans. We should have about two portions a day.
Then there’s milk and dairy products (乳制品). We need about three portions of these every day.
Finally, we need to eat only a small amount of foods that contain sugar and fat.
Some people think that a healthy diet is a boring diet. This isn’t true! You can still eat your favourite foods, but you need to eat them in moderation. For example, if you love chocolate, you don’t have to stop eating it completely. Just eat it once in a while, and make sure you don’t eat too much.
It’s important to remember that a healthy diet is not the same as a diet where you eat less food. In fact, eating very little food is not good for you. It’s much better to eat a variety of different foods, and to eat regular (有规律的) meals. If you do this, you’ll feel full and satisfied, and you won’t be tempted (诱惑) to snack on unhealthy foods.
So next time you’re thinking about going on a diet, stop and think. Do you really need to lose weight? Or would it be better to just eat a healthy diet?
29. What does the writer think of a healthy diet?
A. It’s not very complicated. B. It’s a boring diet.
C. It means eating less food. D. It makes us feel less full.
30 What is the meaning of “in moderation” in Paragraph 8?
A. Avoid them completely.
B. Eat them with every meal but in small amounts.
C. Eat them frequently and in large amounts.
D. Only eat them once in a while and in small amounts.
31. According to the passage, what should we do to have a healthy diet?
A. Eat a variety of foods in the right amount.
B. Never eat foods high in sugar and fat.
C. Go on a diet to lose weight.
D. Eat less food overall.

Making a star on Earth
When you look at the night sky, what you see are actually lots of “power plants (发电站)”. Every star makes a huge amount of energy through nuclear fusion (核聚变). For years, scientists have tried to make this kind of energy. They need to make a “mini star” on Earth. Recently, some scientists made a big step forward.
In February 2022, the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in Oxfordshire, UK. doubled a world record in 1997. The machine there, named Jet, used fusion engines (发动机) to make the same amount of energy as four wind turbines (涡轮机) make, reported The Guardian.
In the past no experiment could make more energy than what was used to start the fusion engine. This new experiment, although only lasting five seconds, showed it’s possible to make more power. The reaction (反应) stopped when the equipment got too hot. This problem can be solved with cooling systems. Future fusion reactions may last much longer than five seconds—minutes or even hours.
Why do we care so much about star power? Fusion reactions would provide power to everyone on the earth—enough for everyone to use for thousands or millions of years. They’re also clean-they don’t produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) or radioactive (放射性的) waste.
You may wonder why fusion energy is so hard to make. Creating conditions similar to a star is not easy. The machine must reach temperatures as high as 10 times that of the sun’s core (核心).
Even so, it’s time to get excited about star power. If it can be successfully rolled out, it will be a landmark in human history.
32. What are compared to “power plants” in the first paragraph?
A. scientists. B. stars in the sky.
C. nuclear plants. D. mini stars on the earth.
33. According to the passage, what was the recent achievement at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy?
A. They produced four times the energy of four wind turbines.
B. They created a fusion reaction that lasted for several hours.
C. They doubled the previous world record for fusion energy production.
D. They successfully created a “mini star” on Earth.
34. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Reasons to use fusion energy.
B. Why we need to find cleaner power.
C. The advantages of fusion reactions.
D. The great amount of energy inside a star.
35. What can we learn about fusion energy from the passage?
A. It is very hard to make it on the earth.
B. Scientists are trying to get it from the core of the sun.
C. It can be produced in a cold environment with cooling systems.
D. It is hopeful that scientists will make it on the earth successfully soon.

Some Ideas to Start Your Day Off (休息日) Right
Having success and being able to meet one’s goals require (需要) knowledge, a sense of direction, hard work and resources. That sounds like a very difficult task. However, research shows that successful people have similar habits in their everyday life. For example, starting a day on the right foot is very important to them. Here are some ideas on how to start your day off right.
◇Get up an hour early.
Getting up an hour early is a good way to start the day. Studies show that your attention span (注意力的持续时间) is the strongest in the morning. In fact, the morning may be the most productive part of your day. Benjamin Franklin would probably agree. He once said, “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
◇Drink a glass of water with lemon juice.
After brushing your teeth, drink a glass of water with lemon juice. Why? Health experts say that this drink jump-starts the body’s metabolism (新陈代谢). Not only does it jump-start your body’s cells, it also keeps them moving throughout the day.
◇ Don’t jump into social media as soon as you wake up.
You wake up in the morning. You decide to check social media. Well, don’t. It’s a waste of time and may bring unhealthy emotions. We’ve all done it. You see a Weibo post about some society problems and the heated discussion pulls you in. Before you know it, an hour has passed, and you’re angry with people you don’t even know.
◇ Exercise!
Physical fitness trainers often suggest some form of exercise in the morning because the middle of the day is a busy time for most people. By the end of the day, you may not have the time or energy to exercise. Exercising in the morning prevents that from happening.
Isabel Smith one of the experts on the research team, said, “In order to feel better during the day, I tried the healthy morning routines for a month. The result was amazing.” She also added that she would keeping doing so in the future.
36. When is your attention span the strongest according to studies?
______________________________________________
37. Why shouldn’t you jump into social media as soon as you wake up?

38. What did Isabel Smith do to feel better during the day?

39. Is getting up an hour early on off days good for you? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.)
