Researchers think the composer wrote the previously unknown piece-called Serenade in C-when he was a young teenager. The composition was found in the holdings of Germany’s Leipzig Municipal Libraries-some 280 miles north of Salzburg, Austria, where Mozart was born in 1756. Although Mozart wrote this piece when he was only a teenager, it was not uncommon for him to write music in his childhood. Mozart began to perform around Austria from the age of five and shortly afterwards became famous as a composer. Mozart probably wrote the recently discovered composition between the mid and late 1760s, according to a statement from the Leipzig Municipal Libraries. Library researchers were compiling (编辑) an edition of the Kochel catalog, a collection of Mozart’s works, when they came across a mysterious bound manuscript (装订好的手稿) containing a handwritten composition in brown ink. The composition is thought to have been written by Mozart. The handwriting, however, is not Mozart’s, suggesting that the manuscript is a copy of the original composition. The researchers think it was made around 1780. The researchers say the music fits stylistically with other works from the 1760s, when Mozart was between the ages of 10 and13. The young composer was no longer creating pieces that sounded like this one by the time he was in his late teens. In his early years, Mozart wrote many chamber works like Serenade in C, which his father recorded on a list of his son’s compositions. Many of these works were thought to have been lost to history. Luckily, this particular piece was saved–thanks to the composer’ s sister. “It looks as if a complete string trio (二重奏曲) has survived in Leipzig,” Leisinger, a worker from the International Mozarteum Foundation, says. “The source was obviously Mozart’s sister, who perhaps preserved the work in memory of her brother.” 24. What does the second paragraph intend to show about Mozart? A. His talent at a young age. B. His connection to Salzburg. C. His preference for performing. D. His popularity all around the world. 25. On what basis do the researchers date Serenade in C? A. The title of the composition. B. The style of the composition. C. The number in the Kochel catalog. D. The color of the ink used in the copy. 26. Why is Mozart’s sister mentioned? A. She had a positive influence on Mozart. B. She was the first to perform Serenade in C. C. She helped Mozart compose Serenade in C. D. She was the one who preserved Serenade in C. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Mozart’s Works Need Updating. B. Mozart’s Works Attract New Attention. C. A Lost Mozart Composition Was Discovered. D. Researchers Uncovered the Early Life of Mozart. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了在德国一家图书馆发现了一首由莫扎特创作的、之前不为人知的12分钟音乐作品——《C大调小夜曲》，并介绍了该作品的发现过程、创作时间推测以及相关背景信息。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The composition was found in the holdings of Germany’s Leipzig Municipal Libraries-some 280 miles north of Salzburg, Austria, where Mozart was born in 1756. Although Mozart wrote this piece when he was only a teenager, it was not uncommon for him to write music in his childhood. Mozart began to perform around Austria from the age of five and shortly afterwards became famous as a composer.(这段乐曲是在德国莱比锡市立图书馆的馆藏中被发现的。莱比锡位于奥地利萨尔茨堡以北约280英里处，莫扎特于1756年出生在萨尔茨堡。尽管莫扎特创作这首曲子时只是个青少年，但他在童年时期就开始创作音乐并非罕见之事。莫扎特从五岁起就在奥地利各地演出，不久后便以作曲家的身份声名远扬。)”可知，这首曲子是在德国莱比锡市立图书馆发现的，虽然莫扎特创作这首曲子时是青少年，但他童年就开始创作音乐并不罕见，他从五岁起就在奥地利各地演出，不久后以作曲家身份出名。由此可知，第二段意在展示莫扎特年轻时的天赋。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The researchers say the music fits stylistically with other works from the 1760s, when Mozart was between the ages of 10 and13.(研究人员表示，从风格上看，这段音乐与18世纪60年代的其他作品相符，当时莫扎特的年龄在10岁到13岁之间。)”可知，研究人员认为从风格上看，这首曲子与18世纪60年代莫扎特10到13岁时的其他作品相符，所以是根据曲子的风格来确定其创作时间的。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Luckily, this particular piece was saved–thanks to the composer’ s sister. “It looks as if a complete string trio (二重奏曲) has survived in Leipzig,” Leisinger, a worker from the International Mozarteum Foundation, says. “The source was obviously Mozart’s sister, who perhaps preserved the work in memory of her brother.”(幸运的是，多亏了作曲家的妹妹，这首特别的乐曲得以保存下来。国际莫扎特基金会的工作人员Leisinger说：“看起来，一首完整的弦乐三重奏在莱比锡留存了下来。其来源显然是莫扎特的妹妹，她或许是为了纪念哥哥才保存了这部作品。”)”可知，多亏了作曲家的妹妹，这首特别的乐曲得以保存下来。国际莫扎特基金会的工作人员Leisinger说，看起来一首完整的弦乐三重奏在莱比锡留存了下来，其来源显然是莫扎特的妹妹，她或许是为了纪念哥哥才保存了这部作品。由此可知，提到莫扎特的妹妹是因为她是保存《C 大调小夜曲》的人。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇点明莫扎特的一段12分钟的音乐在德国一家图书馆被发现，接着围绕这首被发现的乐曲，介绍了发现的地点、推测的创作时间、发现的过程以及乐曲能留存下来的原因等，主要讲述的是一首曾失传的莫扎特的乐曲被发现的事情。选项C“A Lost Mozart Composition Was Discovered(一首失传的莫扎特的乐曲被发现了)”准确概括了文章的主要内容，符合文章围绕这首被发现的乐曲展开叙述的主旨。故选C。 C Throughout history, lions have represented courage and strength. Lions live in groups called prides, and the size of a pride depends on food availability, but a typical pride includes one to three males, a dozen females, and their cubs or young lions. Males are larger than females (lionesses). A lion’s body ranges in length from 4.5 to 6.5 feet, with a tail from 26 to 40 inches. Both males and females are powerful, muscular cats with rounded heads and ears. Only adult male lions display a brown, rust, or black mane (鼠毛) which extends down the neck and chest. Lions’ diet consists of more than 70% meat. Lions prefer to hunt big animals including zebra, buffalo, and giraffe. They usually avoid very large(elephant) and very small(monkey) prey (猎物), but they’ll take farm animals. Lions most often hunt at dawn or dusk, but can adapt to their prey to change their schedule. When hunting, lionesses run from more than one direction to catch fleeing animals. Usually, prey is consumed at the hunting site. Male lions tend to be four or five years old before winning a challenge and joining a pride. When a new male takes over a pride, he usually kills the youngest generation of cubs and drives away the adolescents. Most adult lions are killed by humans or other lions, although some die from injuries while hunting. Usually, about 80% of cubs die, but those that survive to adulthood may live to be 10 to 14 years of age. Some cubs are killed by hyenas and wild dogs. The lion is listed as “vulnerable (易危的)” on the IUCN Red List. The wild population decreased by approximately 43% from 1993 to 2014. Although lions can tolerate a wide range of habitats, they are threatened because people continue to kill them and because of the lack of prey. 28. What do we know about lions according to paragraph 1? A. They are social animals. B. They all have a nice mane. C. They are known for their powerful tails. D. They have the same head and ear size. 29. How do lions typically get food? A. By hunting on big farms. B. By hiding close to their prey. C. By using tools to trap their prey. D. By catching their prey cooperatively. 30. What can be learned about cubs in paragraph 3? A. They tend to live a very long life. B. Most of them are killed by other animals. C. They face many threats before adulthood. D. They are carefully protected by their parents. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The shortage of available prey. B. Threatened habitats for lions. C. The tough situation of the wild lion. D. Endangered animals on the IUCN Red List. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了狮子这一物种的相关信息，包括它们在历史中的象征意义、狮群的构成、狮子的体型特征、饮食习惯、狩猎方式、狮子的生命周期以及它们所面临的生存威胁等。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Lions live in groups called prides, and the size of a pride depends on food availability, but a typical pride includes one to three males, a dozen females, and their cubs or young lions.(狮子群居生活，它们的群体被称为狮群。狮群的规模取决于食物的可获取量，不过一个典型的狮群通常包括一到三只雄狮、十几只雌狮，以及它们的幼崽或小狮子。)”可知，狮子群居生活，它们的群体被称为狮群，一个典型的狮群包含一到三只雄狮、十几只雌狮以及它们的幼崽或小狮子。也就是说，狮子是群居动物。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When hunting, lionesses run from more than one direction to catch fleeing animals. Usually, prey is consumed at the hunting site.(捕猎时，母狮会从多个方向发起进攻，以围捕那些逃窜的动物。通常情况下，猎物会在捕猎地点被吃掉。)”可知，狮子在捕猎时，母狮会从多个方向奔跑来围捕逃窜的动物，这体现了狮子通过合作来捕捉猎物。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Most adult lions are killed by humans or other lions, although some die from injuries while hunting. Usually, about 80% of cubs die, but those that survive to adulthood may live to be 10 to 14 years of age. Some cubs are killed by hyenas and wild dogs.(大多数成年狮子会被人类或其他狮子杀死，不过也有一些狮子是在捕猎时因受伤而死亡。一般来说，大约80%的幼崽会夭折，但那些存活到成年的狮子可能会活到10到14岁。也有一些幼崽会被鬣狗和野狗杀死。)”可知，大部分幼崽会夭折，有些会被鬣狗和野狗杀死，新的雄狮接管狮群时也会杀死最年幼的幼崽，所以幼崽在成年之前面临着许多威胁。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The lion is listed as “vulnerable (易危的)” on the IUCN Red List. The wild population decreased by approximately 43% from 1993 to 2014. Although lions can tolerate a wide range of habitats, they are threatened because people continue to kill them and because of the lack of prey(狮子在世界自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录中被列为“易危”物种。从1993年到2014年，野生狮子的数量大约减少了43%。尽管狮子能够适应多种多样的栖息地，但它们仍然受到威胁，这是因为人类持续捕杀它们，并且它们的猎物也越来越少。)”可知，狮子在世界自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录中被列为“易危”物种，从1993年到2014年野生狮子数量大约减少了43%，尽管狮子能适应多种栖息地，但它们因人类捕杀和猎物缺乏而受到威胁。整体在讲述野生狮子所面临的艰难处境。故选C。 D Research has found that loneliness and social isolation are associated with an increased risk of conditions like anxiety, depression, heart disease, and stroke. In fact, a 2010 analysis found that loneliness is as harmful to physical health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day — meaning using friendship to reduce loneliness is good for you. But how many friends should you have? According to Jeffrey Hall a professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas, if you want to ease the health impacts of loneliness, the most important thing you can do is to have at least one important person in your life. But if you want to have the most meaningful life, one where you feel very bonded and connected to others, more friends are better. Some research endorses his remarks. One study from 2016 found that those with at least six friends have better health throughout their lives, and a study from 2020 found that middle-aged women who have at least three friends typically have higher levels of overall satisfaction with their lives. To figure out whether you need more friends in your life, psychologist Marisa Franco recommends asking yourself, “Do I feel lonely?” Loneliness is sort of an alarm system. While everyone feels lonely sometimes, you should determine whether you feel left out or isolated regularly. Franco also recommends asking yourself if there are parts of your identity that you feel are restricted. “Different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a large friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves basketball, and that side of yourself that loves flowers,” Franco said. “If you’re not feeling quite like yourself, that might indicate you need different types of friends.” Since making new friends can be difficult, Franco said it’s often easier to rekindle old relationships. She added that you should take the initiative and not assume that friendships will naturally happen. “Ultimately, there ‘isn’t a magic number’ of friends for everyone,” Hall said. “Your personality and the characteristics of your life are going to make a difference.” 32. What might Jeffrey Hall agree with? A. Having just one friend leads to more happiness. B. Everyone’s ideal number of friends doesn’t vary. C. A broad friend network enables strong connections. D. Friendship should be prioritized in social relations. 33. What does the underlined word “endorses” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Creates. B. Supports. C. Satisfies. D. Introduces. 34. Which one suggests a person needs more friends according to Franco? A. Continuous self-doubt. B. Few exciting experiences. C. Ineffective social activities. D. Constant feelings of isolation. 35. What does Franco say about having a large friend group? A. It requires befriending those with shared values. B. It ensures personal growth by wide social circles. C. It means a person won’t feel restricted any longer. D. It helps explore different aspects of one’s personality. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究表明，好朋友能提高生活满意度和健康水平，心理学家建议多交朋友以抵御排斥感或孤立感，并更好地展现自我。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Jeffrey Hall, a professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas, if you want to ease the health impacts of loneliness, the most important thing you can do is to have at least one important person in your life. But if you want to have the most meaningful life, one where you feel very bonded and connected to others, more friends are better.(根据堪萨斯大学传播学教授Jeffrey Hall的说法，如果你想减轻孤独对健康的影响，你能做的最重要的事情就是在你的生活中至少有一个重要的人。但如果你想拥有最有意义的生活，一个你感觉与他人紧密相连的生活，那么朋友越多越好。)”可知，Jeffrey Hall可能会同意的是广泛的朋友网络可以建立牢固的联系。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“One study from 2016 found that those with at least six friends have better health throughout their lives, and a study from 2020 found that middle-aged women who have at least three friends typically have higher levels of overall satisfaction with their lives.(2016年的一项研究发现，拥有至少6个朋友的人一生都更健康，2020年的一项研究发现，拥有至少3个朋友的中年女性通常对生活的总体满意度更高。)”可知，这些研究发现与Jeffrey Hall的观点相一致，因此，endorses意为“支持”，和supports意思相近。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“To figure out whether you need more friends in your life, psychologist Marisa Franco recommends asking yourself, “Do I feel lonely?”(为了弄清楚你的生活中是否需要更多的朋友，心理学家Marisa Franco建议你问问自己：“我感到孤独吗？”)”可知，Franco表示，为了弄清楚你的生活中是否需要更多的朋友，你应该确定自己是否经常感到被冷落或孤立。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a large friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves basketball, and that side of yourself that loves flowers(不同的人展现出我们不同的一面。所以当你有一大群朋友的时候，你就能体会到自己热爱篮球的这一面，以及自己热爱鲜花的那一面)”可推断出，拥有一个大的朋友群有助于探索一个人性格的不同方面。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to take — and give — criticism well We all love to criticize. Unfortunately, we also hate being criticized. We post and comment on others with abandon, but feel angry at the way others assess us, both online and in person. The world seems unlikely to change anytime soon. ____36____, in ways that will make us less likely to feel offended (冒犯) and harm others, and better able to benefit from criticism. ● It’s not personal. When we receive criticism, we make it personal in two ways. First, we may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism. Second, we tend to consider the criticism a judgment on our inner abilities, rather than on our performance. The solution is to set up an internal affirmation (肯定) such as: “I don’t care what this criticism says about the person giving it, and I choose not to see it as a personal attack on me. ____37____ — nothing more, nothing less.” ● Treat criticism like insider information. Once you depersonalize criticism in this way, you can start to see it for what it is: a rare glimpse into what outsiders think about your performance. ____38____. If this doesn’t come easily to you, one way to develop the courage to do so is to ask friends whom you like and trust to form a critics’ circle, reviewing one another’s work and giving honest suggestions. ● Make criticism a gift, never a weapon. We all have to give criticism from time to time. The key to criticizing to the best effect is to remember the gift / weapon rule: ____39____; if I am doing it to harm, I am doing it wrong. To keep criticism in the first category, research tells us that it should have five elements: the care of the recipient (接受者) in mind, respectful delivery, good intentions, a pathway to improvement, and an appropriate target of the recipient’s needs. ● ____40____. Scholars writing in 2014 showed that positive feedback given to students in public was 9 percent more motivating than when given privately, while negative feedback in private was 11 percent more motivating than in public. So what does that mean for your rude online reviews? Send them to the blogger directly, if you dare. Or better yet, don’t send them at all - unless you truly intend them to be helpful. A. Criticism is a gift to a wise person B. Praise in public, and criticize in private C. Sometimes praise, and sometimes criticize D. If I am criticizing to help, I am doing it right E. I will assess it on its face about the matter at hand F. However, each of us can change how we take and give criticism G. This provides a potential opportunity to correct course and improve 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. G 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何更好地批评和接受批评。 【36题详解】 根据上文“We all love to criticize. Unfortunately, we also hate being criticized. We post and comment on others with abandon, but feel angry at the way others assess us, both online and in person. The world seems unlikely to change anytime soon.(我们都喜欢批评。不幸的是，我们也讨厌被批评。我们随心所欲地发布和评论别人，但对别人评价我们的方式感到愤怒，无论是在网上还是在现实生活中。世界似乎不太可能在短期内改变)”以及后文“in ways that will make us less likely to feel offended (冒犯) and harm others, and better able to benefit from criticism.(这将使我们不太可能感到被冒犯和伤害他人，并能更好地从批评中受益)”可知，本句与上文构成转折关系，指出批评方式的改变，呼应后文改变所带来的影响。故F选项“然而，我们每个人都可以改变我们接受和给予批评的方式”符合语境，故选F。 【37题详解】 根据上文“I don’t care what this criticism says about the person giving it, and I choose not to see it as a personal attack on me.(我不在乎这种批评是怎么说给予批评的人的，我选择不把它看作是对我的人身攻击)”可知，上文提到不要把批评看作是人身攻击，即对事情进行就事论事，故E选项“关于手头的事情，我将直接进行评估”符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Once you depersonalize criticism in this way, you can start to see it for what it is: a rare glimpse into what outsiders think about your performance.(一旦你以这种方式去个人化批评，你就可以开始看到它的本来面目：这是外人对你表现的罕见看法)”以及后文“If this doesn’t come easily to you, one way to develop the courage to do so is to ask friends whom you like and trust to form a critics’ circle, reviewing one another’s work and giving honest suggestions.(如果这对你来说并不容易，有一种方法可以鼓起勇气这样做，那就是邀请你喜欢和信任的朋友组成一个评论家圈，互相评论彼此的作品，并给出诚实的建议)”可知，上文提到外人对你的表现提出罕见看法，推测本句承接上文，说明如何看待这种看法。故G选项“这提供了一个潜在的机会来纠正路线和改进”符合语境，故选G。 【39题详解】 根据后文“if I am doing it to harm, I am doing it wrong.(如果我这样做是为了伤害别人，那我就是做错了)”可知，后文提到了批评是为了伤害别人的情况，推测本句是在说明批评的正面作用，即帮助他人。故D选项“如果我批评是为了帮助别人，那我做得对”符合语境，故选D。 【40题详解】 根据本段内容“Scholars writing in 2014 showed that positive feedback given to students in public was 9 percent more motivating than when given privately, while negative feedback in private was 11 percent more motivating than in public. So what does that mean for your rude online reviews? Send them to the blogger directly, if you dare. Or better yet, don’t send them at all - unless you truly intend them to be helpful.( 2014年，学者们写道，在公共场合给予学生的积极反馈比私下给予的激励高出9%，而私下给予的消极反馈比公开给予的激励高出11%。那么，这对你那些粗鲁的网上评论意味着什么呢？如果你敢的话，直接发给博主。或者更好的是，根本就不要发送它们——除非你真的想让它们对你有帮助)”可知，本段主要说明了公开给予积极反馈的好处，B选项中Praise in public对应positive feedback given to students in public。故B选项“公开表扬，私下批评”符合语境，故选B。 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。 A British man named Brit got separated from his hiking group in the Peruyian mountains.

My mother then asked whether I wanted to invite any friends over. I shook my head and explained I hadn’t made any friends in the new town. My family had just moved to the new town and I had studied in a new school there for several weeks. I didn’t have much expectation for my thirteenth birthday. Finally, this day came. That evening, my mother, who worked hard in a supermarket, bought me a big birthday cake and a present. The present was inside one big golden box. The card read “Love from Mom and Dad”, but I knew my dad had nothing to do with it. In fact, he was hardly ever home. Like most nights, he was still working at the hospital. I reached over for the big box on the kitchen table, and when I shook it, I knew there were clothes inside. My mom looked at me excitedly, wanting to give me a surprise. I thought to myself, “Maybe this birthday won’t be so bad.” I hoped that this package would contain some wonderful clothes to help me fit in at the new school. I opened the box and pulled out a pair of orange pants and a matching orange shirt. Right away, I was upset! I thought the color was unattractive. I had never owned anything orange in my life and wasn’t about to start then. I smiled weakly. “Wow, Mom!” I faked (假装) a happy smile. But my mother found I was faking a smile. “You don’t like them,” she said. I lied, “No, I do. I really like the clothes.” But actually I didn’t want to try them on at all. I had never received a gift so unattractive. “If you don’t like them, I’ll take them back,” she said a little angrily. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式作答。 To my surprise, without thinking, I replied, “Fine, take them back!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I pulled out the orange clothes, and put them on, looking at myself in the mirror. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: To my surprise, without thinking, I replied, “Fine, take them back!” My mother was angrier and more upset. “How ungrateful! I have tried to make this evening special, and this is the kind of thanks I got?” she said and immediately turned around, walking into her bedroom. I placed the clothes inside the box. The birthday cake wasn’t touched. Knowing I had ruined my birthday, I walked to my bedroom. Finally realizing how hard my parents worked for the family, I regretted what I had said. The next morning, the golden box was still sitting on the kitchen table. I pulled out the orange clothes, and put them on, looking at myself in the mirror. I found I actually looked great in orange. I was more regretful for my behavior of last evening. My mom came downstairs to the kitchen. She looked at me and was surprised that I had worn the orange clothes. “I’m sorry about yesterday,” she said. “I’m sorry too, Mom,” I said. “Can we start over with the birthday?” we said together. And then we both laughed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的经历为线索，讲述了刚搬入新城镇的作者在十三岁生日时，因不喜欢妈妈送的衣服与妈妈产生矛盾，最终和解的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“令我惊讶的是，我不假思索地回答道：“好吧，把它们拿回去！””可知，第一段可描写妈妈对我这一回答的反应，以及我看到妈妈反应后的感受和想法。妈妈因我的不知感恩而生气难过，转身回房，我意识到自己毁了生日，开始后悔。通过对妈妈的语言、动作描写以及我的心理描写，推动情节发展，为后文我的转变做铺垫。 ②由第二段首句“我拿出橙色的衣服穿上，看着镜子中的自己。”可知，第二段可描写我穿上衣服后的感受，以及与妈妈之间的互动和和解过程。我发现自己穿橙色衣服很好看，更加后悔，然后与妈妈互相道歉，最终和解，使故事有一个温馨的结局。 2. 续写线索：我让妈妈把礼物拿回去——妈妈生气回房——我意识到错误后悔——我穿上衣服发现好看——与妈妈互相道歉和解 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①转身：turn around/turn back ②放置：place/put ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情感类： ①生气的：angry/annoyed ②后悔的：regretful/sorry ③惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型 1].

Volunteers help promote and improve the well-being of animals at the wildlife centre. VOLUNTEER ROLE & TYPICAL WORKDAY As a wildlife volunteer in Bali, you will rotate (轮换) across several of the projects and locations we work in, gaining a wide range of insights into the many ways volunteers can make an impact during their time on the program. While on the project, you will work alongside other staff members who have years of experience. Typical activities you will get involved in during your time as a volunteer in Bali Wildlife Centre include feeding, cleaning, daily care and so on. REQUIREMENTS To join the program, you need to be at least 15 years old and able to speak English at the intermediate (中级的) level. You should be physically fit, as volunteering overseas can be quite hard. If you have any health problems that may affect your participation, you must report them to us in your online application. As for the time commitment, volunteers are expected to work about 3-5hours per day from Monday to Thursday, and Friday is optional but is encouraged.

B A 12-minute piece of music composed by Mozart has been discovered in a library in Germany Researchers think the composer wrote the previously unknown piece-called Serenade in C-when he was a young teenager. The composition was found in the holdings of Germany’s Leipzig Municipal Libraries-some 280 miles north of Salzburg, Austria, where Mozart was born in 1756. Although Mozart wrote this piece when he was only a teenager, it was not uncommon for him to write music in his childhood. Mozart began to perform around Austria from the age of five and shortly afterwards became famous as a composer. Mozart probably wrote the recently discovered composition between the mid and late 1760s, according to a statement from the Leipzig Municipal Libraries. Library researchers were compiling (编辑) an edition of the Kochel catalog, a collection of Mozart’s works, when they came across a mysterious bound manuscript (装订好的手稿) containing a handwritten composition in brown ink. The composition is thought to have been written by Mozart. The handwriting, however, is not Mozart’s, suggesting that the manuscript is a copy of the original composition. The researchers think it was made around 1780. The researchers say the music fits stylistically with other works from the 1760s, when Mozart was between the ages of 10 and13. The young composer was no longer creating pieces that sounded like this one by the time he was in his late teens. In his early years, Mozart wrote many chamber works like Serenade in C, which his father recorded on a list of his son’s compositions. Many of these works were thought to have been lost to history. Luckily, this particular piece was saved–thanks to the composer’ s sister. “It looks as if a complete string trio (二重奏曲) has survived in Leipzig,” Leisinger, a worker from the International Mozarteum Foundation, says. “The source was obviously Mozart’s sister, who perhaps preserved the work in memory of her brother.” 24. What does the second paragraph intend to show about Mozart? A. His talent at a young age. B. His connection to Salzburg. C. His preference for performing. D. His popularity all around the world. 25. On what basis do the researchers date Serenade in C? A. The title of the composition. B. The style of the composition. C. The number in the Kochel catalog. D. The color of the ink used in the copy. 26. Why is Mozart’s sister mentioned? A. She had a positive influence on Mozart. B. She was the first to perform Serenade in C. C. She helped Mozart compose Serenade in C. D. She was the one who preserved Serenade in C. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A Mozart’s Works Need Updating. B. Mozart’s Works Attract New Attention. C. A Lost Mozart Composition Was Discovered. D Researchers Uncovered the Early Life of Mozart. C Throughout history, lions have represented courage and strength. Lions live in groups called prides, and the size of a pride depends on food availability, but a typical pride includes one to three males, a dozen females, and their cubs or young lions. Males are larger than females (lionesses). A lion’s body ranges in length from 4.5 to 6.5 feet, with a tail from 26 to 40 inches. Both males and females are powerful, muscular cats with rounded heads and ears. Only adult male lions display a brown, rust, or black mane (鼠毛) which extends down the neck and chest. Lions’ diet consists of more than 70% meat. Lions prefer to hunt big animals including zebra, buffalo, and giraffe. They usually avoid very large(elephant) and very small(monkey) prey (猎物), but they’ll take farm animals. Lions most often hunt at dawn or dusk, but can adapt to their prey to change their schedule. When hunting, lionesses run from more than one direction to catch fleeing animals. Usually, prey is consumed at the hunting site. Male lions tend to be four or five years old before winning a challenge and joining a pride. When a new male takes over a pride, he usually kills the youngest generation of cubs and drives away the adolescents. Most adult lions are killed by humans or other lions, although some die from injuries while hunting. Usually, about 80% of cubs die, but those that survive to adulthood may live to be 10 to 14 years of age. Some cubs are killed by hyenas and wild dogs. The lion is listed as “vulnerable (易危的)” on the IUCN Red List. The wild population decreased by approximately 43% from 1993 to 2014. Although lions can tolerate a wide range of habitats, they are threatened because people continue to kill them and because of the lack of prey. 28. What do we know about lions according to paragraph 1? A. They are social animals. B. They all have a nice mane. C. They are known for their powerful tails. D. They have the same head and ear size. 29. How do lions typically get food? A. By hunting on big farms. B. By hiding close to their prey. C. By using tools to trap their prey. D. By catching their prey cooperatively. 30. What can be learned about cubs in paragraph 3? A. They tend to live a very long life. B. Most of them are killed by other animals. C. They face many threats before adulthood. D. They are carefully protected by their parents. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The shortage of available prey. B. Threatened habitats for lions. C. The tough situation of the wild lion. D. Endangered animals on the IUCN Red List. D Research has found that loneliness and social isolation are associated with an increased risk of conditions like anxiety, depression, heart disease, and stroke. In fact, a 2010 analysis found that loneliness is as harmful to physical health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day — meaning using friendship to reduce loneliness is good for you. But how many friends should you have? According to Jeffrey Hall, a professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas, if you want to ease the health impacts of loneliness, the most important thing you can do is to have at least one important person in your life. But if you want to have the most meaningful life, one where you feel very bonded and connected to others, more friends are better. Some research endorses his remarks. One study from 2016 found that those with at least six friends have better health throughout their lives, and a study from 2020 found that middle-aged women who have at least three friends typically have higher levels of overall satisfaction with their lives. To figure out whether you need more friends in your life, psychologist Marisa Franco recommends asking yourself, “Do I feel lonely?” Loneliness is sort of an alarm system. While everyone feels lonely sometimes, you should determine whether you feel left out or isolated regularly. Franco also recommends asking yourself if there are parts of your identity that you feel are restricted. “Different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a large friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves basketball, and that side of yourself that loves flowers,” Franco said. “If you’re not feeling quite like yourself, that might indicate you need different types of friends.” Since making new friends can be difficult, Franco said it’s often easier to rekindle old relationships. She added that you should take the initiative and not assume that friendships will naturally happen. “Ultimately, there ‘isn’t a magic number’ of friends for everyone,” Hall said. “Your personality and the characteristics of your life are going to make a difference.” 32. What might Jeffrey Hall agree with? A. Having just one friend leads to more happiness. B. Everyone’s ideal number of friends doesn’t vary. C. A broad friend network enables strong connections. D. Friendship should be prioritized in social relations. 33. What does the underlined word “endorses” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Creates. B. Supports. C. Satisfies. D. Introduces. 34. Which one suggests a person needs more friends according to Franco? A. Continuous self-doubt. B. Few exciting experiences. C. Ineffective social activities. D. Constant feelings of isolation. 35. What does Franco say about having a large friend group? A. It requires befriending those with shared values. B. It ensures personal growth by wide social circles. C. It means a person won’t feel restricted any longer. D. It helps explore different aspects of one’s personality. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to take — and give — criticism well We all love to criticize. Unfortunately, we also hate being criticized. We post and comment on others with abandon, but feel angry at the way others assess us, both online and in person. The world seems unlikely to change anytime soon. ____36____, in ways that will make us less likely to feel offended (冒犯) and harm others, and better able to benefit from criticism. ● It’s not personal. When we receive criticism, we make it personal in two ways. First, we may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism. Second, we tend to consider the criticism a judgment on our inner abilities, rather than on our performance. The solution is to set up an internal affirmation (肯定) such as: “I don’t care what this criticism says about the person giving it, and I choose not to see it as a personal attack on me. ____37____ — nothing more, nothing less.” ● Treat criticism like insider information. Once you depersonalize criticism in this way, you can start to see it for what it is: a rare glimpse into what outsiders think about your performance. ____38____. If this doesn’t come easily to you, one way to develop the courage to do so is to ask friends whom you like and trust to form a critics’ circle, reviewing one another’s work and giving honest suggestions. ● Make criticism a gift, never a weapon. We all have to give criticism from time to time. The key to criticizing to the best effect is to remember the gift / weapon rule: ____39____; if I am doing it to harm, I am doing it wrong. To keep criticism in the first category, research tells us that it should have five elements: the care of the recipient (接受者) in mind, respectful delivery, good intentions, a pathway to improvement, and an appropriate target of the recipient’s needs. ● ____40____. Scholars writing in 2014 showed that positive feedback given to students in public was 9 percent more motivating than when given privately, while negative feedback in private was 11 percent more motivating than in public. So what does that mean for your rude online reviews? Send them to the blogger directly, if you dare. Or better yet, don’t send them at all - unless you truly intend them to be helpful. A. Criticism is a gift to a wise person B. Praise in public, and criticize in private C. Sometimes praise, and sometimes criticize D. If I am criticizing to help, I am doing it right E. I will assess it on its face about the matter at hand F. However, each of us can change how we take and give criticism G. This provides a potential opportunity to correct course and improve 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。 A British man named Brit got separated from his hiking group in the Peruyian mountains.

My mother then asked whether I wanted to invite any friends over. I shook my head and explained I hadn’t made any friends in the new town. My family had just moved to the new town and I had studied in a new school there for several weeks. I didn’t have much expectation for my thirteenth birthday. Finally, this day came. That evening, my mother, who worked hard in a supermarket, bought me a big birthday cake and a present. The present was inside one big golden box. The card read “Love from Mom and Dad”, but I knew my dad had nothing to do with it. In fact, he was hardly ever home. Like most nights, he was still working at the hospital. I reached over for the big box on the kitchen table, and when I shook it, I knew there were clothes inside. My mom looked at me excitedly, wanting to give me a surprise. I thought to myself, “Maybe this birthday won’t be so bad.” I hoped that this package would contain some wonderful clothes to help me fit in at the new school. I opened the box and pulled out a pair of orange pants and a matching orange shirt. Right away, I was upset! I thought the color was unattractive. I had never owned anything orange in my life and wasn’t about to start then. I smiled weakly. “Wow, Mom!” I faked (假装) a happy smile. But my mother found I was faking a smile. “You don’t like them,” she said. I lied, “No, I do. I really like the clothes.” But actually I didn’t want to try them on at all. I had never received a gift so unattractive. “If you don’t like them, I’ll take them back,” she said a little angrily. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式作答。 To my surprise, without thinking, I replied, “Fine, take them back!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I pulled out the orange clothes, and put them on, looking at myself in the mirror. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。I heard you're going to summer camp in the U.
