Take a digital photograph that answers this question: Why is Earth Day important to our planet? The winning photographer will receive a digital camera, and the photo will be published in TIME for Kids magazine. Get details below. ·The competition is open to students from 8 to 13 years of age. ·Judges will look for creativity, photo composition and relation to the Earth Day theme. ·Students must include their first name only; their e-mail address; a parent’s, or a teacher’s e-mail address (very important); the location in the photo, and the date when it was taken (must be between June 1, 2021, and March 20, 2022).

Which of the following might meet the requirements? A A printed photo. B. A photo of a wedding. C. A photo taken on May 20, 2022. D. A photo of river pollution. B Along with soccer, basketball is a global sport. As you read this. young people somewhere in the world are happily passing, dribbling (运球) and shooting. It’s enormous fun and a joyful way to spend time with others. Basketball is a game for everyone. Unlike golf or tennis. it doesn’t require great wealth or a lot of space to play. After all, not many people have a golf course-sized backyard, and tennis equipment is expensive. Basketball, by contrast, just needs a wall with a hoop and a ball. So after its invention by Canadian-American physical educator James Naismith in 1891, the sport took off within US citizens, who quickly became attracted to the game because it suited their circumstances. Today, 130 years later, basketball remains one of the most popular sports in the US, and the National Basketball Association (NBA) has an increasing appeal for fans around the world. The success of basketball as global phenomenon is undoubtedly related to the way African-Americans play the game. “The basketball court reflected some of the major cultural shifts in America, such as from forbidding African-Americans to play basketball to allowing them to play in the NBA,” the LIVESTRONG website noted. From the 1950s onwards, segregation (隔离) rules, which had prohibited African-Americans from playing basketball in NBA games, were no longer used in the US. In 1950, when Earl Lloyd started to play for the Washington Capitols, things began to change. Since then, most of the greats of the game have been African-Americans, like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. It’s not difficult to see that there’s a strong link between political liberation and basketball. Something of this is expressed in a quote from the US author John Edgar Wideman. He makes a connection between basketball and hope: “When it’s played the way it’s supposed to be played, basketball happens in the air; flying, floating, raised above the floor, letting the oppressed (受压制的) people of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams.” 4. What advantage does basketball have over golf or tennis, according to the author? A. It interests almost everyone. B. It doesn’t cost much. C. It doesn’t require too much skill. D. It can be played everywhere. 5. What can we learn about basketball from Paragraph 3? A. The sport was not popular with people at first. B. The sport was created by a PE teacher. C. Its rules have been changed a lot to suit new circumstances. D. The NBA, with a history of 130 Years, attracts people worldwide 6. The main purpose of Paragraph 5 is to ______. A. explain the rules of NBA games in the 1950s B. stress the success African—Americans in basketball C. show how racial integration took place in basketball D. prove the popularity of basketball among African—Americans 7. What do John Edgar Wideman’s words mean? A. Basketball is sometimes a useful tool for politicians. B. American people usually have a basketball dream. C. Political oppression is a serious problem in the US. D. Basketball stands for the freedom and hopes of people. C “When I was young, I had so much energy and I loved building things. If I had an idea, I had to build it right now using what I could find around me,” says Danish artist Thomas Dambo. When Dambo was seven years old, he bought a mountain of cushions (垫子) from a nearby market to build a game room in his parents’ house. As a teenager, he built a “crazy” castle in his backyard. Years later, 42-year-old Dambo is proudly showing his latest work: a giant (巨人) called Little Lui. Five meters tall, Little Lui is one of the six giants placed in the corners of Peel Region of Western Australia, which will be on show for at least a year. This work makes Dambo’s giants up to 99 around the world. His gentle giants have found homes in many different countries, as far as the United States, Belgium, China, Denmark, South Korea and now in Australia. “For me, giants represent (代表) the voice of nature,” Dambo says. This deep respect for nature is the focus of Dambo’s building works. Dambo’s giants are made almost from local recycled wood: their faces from second-hand furniture and their hair from tree branches and leaves. Taking about 750 hours to complete, each giant is built out in nature. “I hope by visiting the giants, people will think of rubbish as a resource. I think it’s really important that next generations are connected to nature,” Dambo says. “That’s why I tried to build the giants to attract young people. I want people to be inspired and to realize they don’t need a lot to create something big and beautiful.” 8. Which of the following can best describe young Dambo? A. Creative. B. Homesick. C. Powerful. D. Frightened. 9. What can we know about Little Lui? A. It is kept underground. B. It’s Dambo’s first giant. C. It will be shown to the public. D. It will be sent to Denmark. 10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The comments on the giants. B. The appearance of the giants. C. The basic theme of the giants. D. The expensive materials of the giants. 11. What does Dambo plan to do with his giants? A. Inspire more people to take adventures. B. Encourage the young to approach nature. C. Help people spend less time playing games. D. Call on the young to save natural resources. D Many companies have advertised a feature in their newer phones that lets users use AI as a recipe generator (生成器) assistant. With AI-generated recipes, casual cooks may risk a terrible meal or a life-threatening situation. Last year, Forbes reported that one AI recipe generator produced a recipe for “aromatic (芳香的) water mix”. The recipe actually produced deadly chlorine gas. For food bloggers and recipe developers, this technology can threaten their livelihood. Sarah and Kaitlin Leung are sisters who set up The Woks of Life, a food blog focused on sharing “recipes, kitchen exploits, and travels”. After an idea is formed, they will test a recipe up to 40times. “These companies are taking content created by real people to train their AI models, and then competing directly with those same people. So it’s a huge sort of existential threat,” Sarah says. Andrew Olson, a software engineer who develops recipes for his food blog, One Ingredient Chef, sees it differently. “So much of recipe development is getting inspiration from other recipes,” he says. “They’re not reproducing it word for word.” On his website, users can input a list of ingredients to generate a recipe that looks just like one from a cookbook. Each recipe even includes a headnote with a sense-based description of the final product and suggestions for when and where to serve each dish. Advanced versions of the software even generate images of what the recipe’s final product could look like. “I think food bloggers could use AI to be more creative, to come up with new ideas,” he says. “But I don’t think the technology is there to the point where you can have an entirely AI-generated blog, although that would be a cool concept. Maybe someone should try it and see how it goes.” Olson adds. 12. What problem can AI recipe generators cause? A. Higher costs of phones. B. Accidents in cooking. C. Threat to recipe companies. D. Unemployment of assistants. 13. What is Sarah’s attitude towards AI-generated recipes? A. Negative. B. Unclear. C. Favourable. D. Objective. 14. What does One Ingredient Chef feature? A. It tests its recipes up to 40 times. B. It sends a real cookbook to users. C. It gives suggestions on a healthy dish. D. It produces the final product’s pictures. 15. What do Olson’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. AI should be banned from generating recipes. B. AI recipe generators can replace food bloggers. C. Entirely AI-generated recipes are widely available. D. The use of AI technology needs further development. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Are you afraid of failure?

( 篮球是人人都喜欢的运动。不像高尔夫或网球。它不需要大量的金钱或很大的空间来玩。)”可知，篮球比高尔夫或网球的优势是让几乎所有人感兴趣，故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“So after its invention by Canadian-American physical educator James Naismith in 1891, the sport took off within US citizens, who quickly became attracted to the game because it suited their circumstances.( 因此，在加拿大裔美国体育教师詹姆斯·奈史密斯于1891年发明这项运动后，这项运动在美国民众中迅速兴起，他们很快就被这项运动所吸引，因为它适合他们环境)”可知，这项运动是由一名体育老师发明的，故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“From the 1950s onwards, segregation (隔离) rules, which had prohibited African-Americans from playing basketball in NBA games, were no longer used in the US(从20世纪50年代起，禁止非裔美国人在NBA比赛中打篮球的种族隔离规定在美国不再使用)”可知，种族融合因篮球而发生，因此第五段的主要目的是展示种族融合是怎样因篮球而发生的，故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He makes a connection between basketball and hope: “When it’s played the way it’s supposed to be played, basketball happens in the air; flying, floating, raised above the floor, letting the oppressed (受压制的) people of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams.(他将篮球与希望联系起来：“当篮球按照应有的方式进行时，篮球就会在空中；飞翔、漂浮、从地板上升起，让地球上被压迫的人们在梦想中想象自己)”可知，篮球代表着人们的自由和希望，故选D项。 C “When I was young, I had so much energy and I loved building things. If I had an idea, I had to build it right now using what I could find around me,” says Danish artist Thomas Dambo. When Dambo was seven years old, he bought a mountain of cushions (垫子) from a nearby market to build a game room in his parents’ house. As a teenager, he built a “crazy” castle in his backyard. Years later, 42-year-old Dambo is proudly showing his latest work: a giant (巨人) called Little Lui. Five meters tall, Little Lui is one of the six giants placed in the corners of Peel Region of Western Australia, which will be on show for at least a year. This work makes Dambo’s giants up to 99 around the world. His gentle giants have found homes in many different countries, as far as the United States, Belgium, China, Denmark, South Korea and now in Australia. “For me, giants represent (代表) the voice of nature,” Dambo says. This deep respect for nature is the focus of Dambo’s building works. Dambo’s giants are made almost from local recycled wood: their faces from second-hand furniture and their hair from tree branches and leaves. Taking about 750 hours to complete, each giant is built out in nature. “I hope by visiting the giants, people will think of rubbish as a resource. I think it’s really important that next generations are connected to nature,” Dambo says. “That’s why I tried to build the giants to attract young people. I want people to be inspired and to realize they don’t need a lot to create something big and beautiful.” 8. Which of the following can best describe young Dambo? A. Creative. B. Homesick. C. Powerful. D. Frightened. 9. What can we know about Little Lui? A. It is kept underground. B. It’s Dambo’s first giant. C. It will be shown to the public. D. It will be sent to Denmark. 10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The comments on the giants. B. The appearance of the giants. C. The basic theme of the giants. D. The expensive materials of the giants. 11. What does Dambo plan to do with his giants? A. Inspire more people to take adventures. B. Encourage the young to approach nature. C. Help people spend less time playing games. D. Call on the young to save natural resources. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。艺术家Thomas Dambo从小就喜欢搭建，现在通过利用可回收的木材等搭建巨人造型，吸引年轻人接近自然，创造美好事物。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When Dambo was seven years old, he bought a mountain of cushions (垫子) from a nearby market to build a game room in his parents’ house. As a teenager, he built a ‘crazy’ castle in his backyard. (当Dambo七岁的时候，他从附近的市场买了一大堆垫子，在他父母的房子里建了一个游戏室。十几岁的时候，他在后院建了一座‘疯狂’的城堡)”可推知，Dambo小时候是很有创造力的。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Five meters tall, Little Lui is one of the six giants placed in the corners of Peel Region of Western Australia, which will be on show for at least a year. (5米高的Little Lui是放置在西澳大利亚皮尔地区角落里的六个巨人之一，它将展出至少一年)”可知，Little Lui巨人造型将向公众展示。故选C项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“‘For me, giants represent (代表) the voice of nature,’ Dambo says. This deep respect for nature is the focus of Dambo’s building works. (‘对我来说，巨人代表着大自然的声音，’Dambo说。这种对自然的深切尊重是Dambo建筑作品的重点)”可知，本段的主要内容是巨人的基本主题。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I think it’s really important that next generations are connected to nature.(我认为让下一代与自然保持联系非常重要)”和“That’s why I tried to build the giants to attract young people.(这就是为什么我试图建造巨人来吸引年轻人)”可知，Dambo利用他的巨人造型鼓励年轻人接近大自然。故选B项。 D Many companies have advertised a feature in their newer phones that lets users use AI as a recipe generator (生成器) assistant. With AI-generated recipes, casual cooks may risk a terrible meal or a life-threatening situation. Last year, Forbes reported that one AI recipe generator produced a recipe for “aromatic (芳香的) water mix”. The recipe actually produced deadly chlorine gas. For food bloggers and recipe developers, this technology can threaten their livelihood. Sarah and Kaitlin Leung are sisters who set up The Woks of Life, a food blog focused on sharing “recipes, kitchen exploits, and travels”. After an idea is formed, they will test a recipe up to 40times. “These companies are taking content created by real people to train their AI models, and then competing directly with those same people. So it’s a huge sort of existential threat,” Sarah says. Andrew Olson, a software engineer who develops recipes for his food blog, One Ingredient Chef, sees it differently. “So much of recipe development is getting inspiration from other recipes,” he says. “They’re not reproducing it word for word.” On his website, users can input a list of ingredients to generate a recipe that looks just like one from a cookbook. Each recipe even includes a headnote with a sense-based description of the final product and suggestions for when and where to serve each dish. Advanced versions of the software even generate images of what the recipe’s final product could look like. “I think food bloggers could use AI to be more creative, to come up with new ideas,” he says. “But I don’t think the technology is there to the point where you can have an entirely AI-generated blog, although that would be a cool concept. Maybe someone should try it and see how it goes.” Olson adds. 12. What problem can AI recipe generators cause? A. Higher costs of phones. B. Accidents in cooking. C. Threat to recipe companies. D. Unemployment of assistants. 13. What is Sarah’s attitude towards AI-generated recipes? A. Negative. B. Unclear. C. Favourable. D. Objective. 14. What does One Ingredient Chef feature? A. It tests its recipes up to 40 times. B. It sends a real cookbook to users. C. It gives suggestions on a healthy dish. D. It produces the final product’s pictures. 15. What do Olson’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. AI should be banned from generating recipes. B. AI recipe generators can replace food bloggers. C. Entirely AI-generated recipes are widely available. D. The use of AI technology needs further development. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。文章围绕AI生成食谱的功能展开讨论，分析了其对普通烹饪者、食品博主和食谱开发者可能带来的风险以及机遇，呈现了不同人对这一技术的看法和态度。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Last year, Forbes reported that one AI recipe generator produced a recipe for “aromatic (芳香的) water mix”. The recipe actually produced deadly chlorine gas.(去年，福布斯报道称，一个人工智能配方生成器制作了一个“芳香水混合物”的配方。这个配方实际上产生了致命的氯气)”可知，AI配方生成器会导致烹饪事故。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““These companies are taking content created by real people to train their AI models, and then competing directly with those same people. So it’s a huge sort of existential threat,” Sarah says.(“这些公司正在利用真人创作的内容来训练他们的人工智能模型，然后直接与这些人竞争。所以这是一种巨大的生存威胁，”Sarah说)”可知，Sarah对AI生成的食谱持负面态度。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Advanced versions of the software even generate images of what the recipe’s final product could look like.(该软件的高级版本甚至可以生成食谱最终成品的图像)”可知，One Ingredient Chef的特点是它生成最终产品的图片。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I think food bloggers could use AI to be more creative, to come up with new ideas,” he says. “But I don’t think the technology is there to the point where you can have an entirely AI-generated blog, although that would be a cool concept. Maybe someone should try it and see how it goes.” Olson adds.(他说：“我认为美食博主可以利用人工智能变得更有创造力，提出新的想法。”“但我不认为现在的技术可以让你拥有一个完全由人工智能生成的博客，尽管这将是一个很酷的概念。也许有人应该试试，看看效果如何。”Olson补充道)”可知，Olson暗示了人工智能技术的使用需要进一步发展。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Are you afraid of failure? However, only by overcoming fear of failure can we achieve success in life. Here are some tips on how to remove fear and focus on success: Understand that at times you make mistakes ___16___ Before any of us learned how to walk, we crawled（爬行）. We got up, fell down own and got up again. We continued the process until we could walk quite well. ___17___ Instead, view it as a stepping stone. Make certain that you learn from failure and then use what you have learned in future situations. Refuse to consider failure a character weakness. Doing so will only prevent you from achieving future success. Remember that failure has produced many successes. ___18___ Albert Einstein's teacher told him to quit school and said, "Einstein, you will never achieve anything!" Beethoven's music teacher said he was hopeless to become composer（作曲家）. Henry Ford's' first two car companies failed. Appreciate the benefits of failure. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "All life is an experiment. The more experiments you try, the better you make." It's hardly possible for someone to achieve success for the first time he tries. ___19___ Believe in yourself. Rather than give up when things don't work out, take it as a chance to build perseverance（坚持不懈）. Remind yourself how many failures became successful because they wouldn't give up. ___20___ A. Don't take failure personally. B. Work hard and try to avoid（避免）failure. C. Realize that you are human and humans make mistakes. D. Believe that you've got what it takes to work through the difficult times. E. Making the same mistake again can lead to the failure in your future work. F. Consider how many people in history had failed before they became successful. G. In other words, your chances of getting things right on the first try are little. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。人们都害怕失败，然而，只有克服对失败的恐惧，我们才能在生活中取得成功。文章介绍了我们如何消除恐惧、专注于成功。 【16题详解】 根据上文提示“Understand that at times you make mistakes”（要知道有时你也会犯错），由此可知，C项Realize that you are human and humans make mistakes.（要意识到你也是人，是人就会犯错）切题。说明每个人都会犯错，此处关键词make mistakes。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据下文提示“Instead, view it as a stepping stone. Make certain that you learn from failure and then use what you have learned in future situations.”（相反，把它看作是一块垫脚石。一定要从失败中吸取教训，然后在以后的情况中运用这些经验）可知，这是看待失败的正确做法，Instead表明空处应该会提到一种错误的做法，A项Don't take failure personally.（不要把失败个人化）切题。下文中的it指代的是该项中的failure，且下文中的Instead与该项构成一种转折关系。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据下文提示“Albert Einstein's teacher told him to quit school and said, ‘Einstein, you will never achieve anything!’Beethoven's music teacher said he was hopeless to become composer（作曲家）. Henry Ford's' first two car companies failed.”（爱因斯坦的老师让他退学，并对他说:“爱因斯坦，你永远不会有任何成就!”贝多芬的音乐老师说他不可能成为作曲家。亨利·福特的前两家汽车公司都失败了）可知，这些是名人经历过失败的具体例子，F项Consider how many people in history had failed before they became successful.（想想历史上有多少人在成功之前经历了失败）切题。印证了成功来源于失败，该空下文举例说明。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文提示“It's hardly possible for someone to achieve success for the first time he tries.”（一个人第一次尝试就取得成功是不可能的）可知，不要指望一次就成功，G项In other words, your chances of getting things right on the first try are little.（换句话说，你第一次就成功的机会很小）切题。该项中的little与上文的hardly possible吻合。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文提示“Remind yourself how many failures became successful because they wouldn't give up.”（提醒自己，有多少失败之所以成功，是因为他们不肯放弃）可知，失败后坚持不放弃很重要，D项Believe that you've got what it takes to work through the difficult times.（相信你已经具备了克服困难的能力）切题。该项中的to work through the difficult times与上文wouldn't give up保持一致。故选D。 第三部分 语言知识应用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was the last in a line of long and rainy days.
