Australians are cheerful who spend much time on outdoor activities. They enjoy a slow life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude. Germans are often described as being serious and careful. They are hard workers and pay much attention to details. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.

They may want to throw up and can even die from allergies. What’s worse, food allergies are becoming more common these days. Kari Nadeau, an allergy expert at Stanford University in the US, did a study of food allergies around the world. She found that while 3 percent of people had them in 1960, the number rose to 7 percent in 2018. Nadeau said one reason for this might be that we have fewer interactions (相互作用) with microbiota (微生物群). Microbiota can “train” our bodies and stop us from getting allergies. Our bodies have fewer chances to get close to microbiota these days. We live in cleaner homes. We stay indoors for longer hours. Doctors are using more antibiotics (抗生素) on us as children —antibiotics kill microbiota. Scientists say it’s a good idea for babies to eat many different kinds of foods so that they can build up tolerance (耐受) in their early years. Having a pet cat or dog can also stop the development of allergies. 49. What may happen when people have food allergies, according to the passage? A. They may lose weight. B. They may get hungry easily. C. They may want to throw up. D. They may feel thirsty all the time. 50. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Microbiota can cause allergies. B. The more microbiota, the better. C. We should keep away from microbiota. D. We can go outdoors to get close to microbiota. 51 In which part of a magazine could you find this article? A. Food B. Health C. Music D. Culture 52. What’s the best title of this article? A. A study of food allergies. B. Microbiota. C. What cause allergies? D. How to prevent allergies? 【答案】49. C 50. D 51. B 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍一项食物过敏的研究，研究表明过敏现在变得越来越普遍，文章也介绍引起这一现象的原因和应对措施。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They may want to throw up and can even die from allergies.”可知，当人们对食物过敏时，他们可能想呕吐。故选C。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Our bodies have fewer chances to get close to microbiota these days…We stay indoors for longer hours.”可知，在室内呆的时间更长，这导致我们的身体接近微生物群的机会越来越少，可推知我们可以到户外去接近微生物群。故选D。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍一项研究表明过敏现在变得越来越普遍，文章也介绍了引起这一现象的原因和应对措施，属于健康范畴。故选B。 【52题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍一项食物过敏的研究，研究表明过敏现在变得越来越普遍，以及引起这一现象的原因和应对措施，所以A项符合。故选A。 C “Look! Letters from Leo! Granny will be excited!” Mom said. Andy turned toward his mother. “Leo?” “Granny’s oldest and favorite brother. He made her that special box that sits beside the window—locked up. The key’s been lost forever. Now about those letters...Granny will want them.” Andy picked that special box and letters up, then took them to the kitchen. “What did you put in the box, Granny?” Andy asked. “Nothing! I knew Leo would be joining the army soon. Just before he left, he locked my box and hid the key. He said he’d invented a word game for me and promised he’d send clues. We got letters but not one clue. Leo’s final letter arrived after we heard the heartbreaking news. Mother was so sad. She tore (撕) it in half.” Granny watched Andy spread the letters on the table. She whispered, “I always thought mother threw away all of Leo’s letters.” Andy pointed at one letter in two pieces. “This must be the last letter Leo sent home.” Granny picked up one half of the letter, and read, “Dearest Littlest Sister...” “Leo did send clues. Let’s tape the halves together.” Andy said. Andy read, “Ewe re ed four make?” “Nonsense words,” Granny said. Andy looked at the paper, then said, “Wait! If we read down, instead of across—in columns (列), not rows.” He read the words one by one “You need to read this aloud for it to make some sense.” Granny’s eyes opened wide. “Leo was using homophones (同音异形词)!” She began to read “Go to the room where we ate. See the flower like the sun?” Granny smiled. “The dining room is where we ate. The painting of a sunflower.” Andy was on his way. In a few seconds, he returned, carrying the painting. They discovered another clue printed in light pencil on the back. Andy read, “Look above the hole where rain does not come down. See the broken time piece? There! Inside!” He ran to the fireplace then gave the clock to Granny. “This clock has never kept time.” Granny opened the clock’s tiny glass door and reached inside. “All those years. It’s been right here.” She opened the box with the key and looked into it. There is a photo of a girl and her big brother. On the back of the photo was printed: I NEW you’d worked it out. Use this box for all your special treasures. Love, Leo. Granny gently placed the photo and the letters inside the box. “My treasures,” she said. 53. How may the underlined words “see the flower like the sun” be shown in the letter? A. B. C. D. 54. When Granny said “Nonsense words”, she most probably felt ________. A. angry B. worried C. hopeless D. confident 55. What’s the correct order of the following events? a. Leo locked the box and hid the key. b. Andy read letters from Leo with Granny. c. Leo sent clues to Granny in his letters. d. Granny put something important in the box. e. Leo’s mum tore his last letter into two halves. A. a-c-e-b-d B. d-a-c-e-b C. a-c-b-e-d D. d-a-c-b-e 56. What is the best title for the story? A. Granny’s Favorite Brother B. A Treasure Hunter C. Letters from Leo D. A Special Box 【答案】53. B 54. C 55. A 56. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了奶奶收到了她的哥哥的来信，通过这封信找到了那把特殊的钥匙，打开了被锁多年的盒子，里面是她和哥哥的照片。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Wait! If we read down, instead of across—in columns (列), not rows.”以及“Leo was using homophones”可知，Leo用了同音异形词，且应该按列读，而不是按行读，故可推知，“see the flower like the sun”在信中表示为B项所示。故选B。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Ewe re ed four make?”可知，奶奶认为这是无意义的，故可推知，她感觉没有希望。故选C。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Just before he left, he locked my box and hid the key. He said he’d invented a word game for me and promised he’d send clues.”可知，a项排第一，c排第二；根据第五段中的“Leo’s final letter arrived after we heard the heartbreaking news. Mother was so sad. She tore (撕) it in half.”可知，e排第三；根据第八段“‘Leo did send clues. Let’s tape the halves together.’ Andy said. Andy read, ‘Ewe re ed four make?’”及下文可知，Andy和奶奶一起读Leo的信，b排第四；根据最后一段“Granny gently placed the photo and the letters inside the box. ‘My treasures,’ she said.”可知，d排最后。故选A。 【56题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了奶奶收到了她的哥哥的来信，通过这封信找到了那把特殊的钥匙，打开了被锁多年的盒子，里面是她和哥哥的照片，所以C项符合。故选C。 D ①Walking slowly out of the classroom by himself to the dining room; taking his lunch; sitting and eating alone at a table of four seats, such moments are pretty normal to be seen on the 14-year-old schoolboy, Peter. He spends most of his school time on his own, which makes his parents worry about him so much. ②His parents’ worries are easy to understand. It is widely accepted that being alone is a symbol of being left out and can bring a lot of trouble. Most people believe teenagers who are usually alone do have few friends and are unable to fit in with other people. At the same time, they are at greater risk (风险) of having mental problems. ③However, a new study by some researchers at Wilmington College, shows that this may not always be true. Whether it is bad for teenagers or not depends on the reasons why teenagers are alone. If it is their choice, it may play an active role in their personal growth. ④According to their study, when teenagers choose to think alone, they put 100% of their attention into what is in their mind and are more likely to experience deeper thoughts and feelings than working with others. They may have a greater chance to create something new. In this way they can better develop their creativity (创造力). ⑤On the other hand, the ongoing noise children’s brains receive every day can put great stress on them and make it hard for them to focus. Being alone lets them shut themselves off from the noisy outside world and think about what’s best for them. Slowly they improve their ability to focus. ⑥As a matter of fact, our culture is always biased (有偏见的) against being alone. Maybe it is the right time for us to rethink about Peter’s situation before we say what’s happening to him. 57. Peter’s parents worry about him so much because ______. A. he spends most of his time in the dining hall B. he doesn’t have enough time for his lunch at school C. he often sits alone to have his lunch in the dining hall D. he doesn’t enjoy his meal at lunchtime in the dining hall 58. According to the study by the researchers, being alone ______. A. is often a symbol of loneliness B. never causes mental problems C. always improves teenagers’ focus D. may develop teenagers’creativity 59. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 60. What may be the writer’s opinion according to the passage? A. Peter spends most of his school time alone. B. Choosing to be alone is a symbol of being left out. C. Peter usually spends his time alone to improve his focus. D. More people will have a deeper understanding of being alone in the future. 61. We can probably read this passage from a ______. A. guidebook B. research report C. teenager’s diary D. cultural magazine 【答案】57. C 58. D 59. C 60. D 61. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从喜欢独处的Peter让父母担心的事实引出新的研究表明喜欢独处的人可能更容易集中注意力，可能更好地培养其创造力。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Walking slowly out of the classroom by himself to the dining room; taking his lunch; sitting and eating alone at a table of four seats, such moments are pretty normal to be seen on the 14-year-old schoolboy, Peter. He spends most of his school time on his own, which makes his parents worry about him so much.”可知Peter总是独自去餐厅，独自吃午饭，花费他的大多数时间独处使他的父母担心，故选C。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“According to their study, when teenagers choose to think alone,...They may have a greater chance to create something new. In this way they can better develop their creativity”可知根据新的研究，青少年独处可能有更好的机会创造新东西，更好地发展他们的创造力，故选D。 【59题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文章可知第一段列举Peter的事例，第二段进一步介绍Peter的父母的担忧，引出人们认为的青少年独处的危害，第三段至第五段介绍新的研究表明青少年独处可能对青少年有益，第六段进一步阐述我们应该打破对青少年独处的偏见，故选C。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据“As a matter of fact, our culture is always biased against being alone. Maybe it is the right time for us to rethink about Peter’s situation before we say what’s happening to him.”可知作者认为我们的文化总是对独处有偏见，该是重新认识这一问题的时候了，所以推断作者相信在未来大多数人对独处将会有一个更深刻的理解，故选D。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文可知文章介绍了针对青少年独处的新的研究结果，所以我们有可能在一份研究报告中读到这篇文章。故选B。 E A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems. At present weather forecasts are made through many difficult steps, each taking hours. These systems need supercomputers and large teams of experts to develop and keep them working. However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to make predictions. This promises improvements in forecast speed, correctness, and cost, according to research published in Nature by the University of Cambridge, the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Professor Richard Turner from the University of Cambridge explained that this new method can quickly create specialized forecasts for different industries or locations. For example, it could guess temperatures for farms in Africa or wind speeds for wind energy companies in Europe. Traditional weather systems require large teams and supercomputers to deal with data and create forecasting models, taking hours for just one forecast. “This is a totally different method,” Turner said, adding that the model would finally be able to provide correct eight-day forecasts, compared to the present five-day limit, and offer more localized predictions. Dr. Scott Hosking from the Alan Turing Institute said that this breakthrough could make weather forecasting available to more countries, especially developing countries. It will also help governments, emergency teams, and businesses that need weather predictions. Dr. Anna Allen, the lead author of the paper, highlighted that this research could improve forecasts of natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, as well as problems like air quality and sea ice predictions. Aardvark builds from research from Huawei, Google, and Microsoft, replacing a key step in the traditional method with AI, which makes forecasts faster and more correct. It is already in use at the ECMWF. Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by present systems, yet in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the correctness of the US Weather Service. 62. What is the main advantage of the new AI weather prediction method? A. It depends on supercomputers. B. It requires large teams of experts. C. It predicts for longer periods of time. D. It works faster with less computing power. 63 What makes the new weather prediction model different from traditional systems? A. It mainly predicts weather for developed countries. B. It can hardly predict natural disasters and air quality. C. It gathers data from different sources across the world. D. It only pays attention to specific industries like agriculture. 64. What can we infer about the new weather prediction method? A. It doesn’t need human effort. B. It is more expensive to use. C. It requires less data to work. D. It doesn’t develop specialized forecasts. 65. What is the purpose of the article? A. To describe weather forecasting history. B. To introduce a new AI weather model. C. To criticize traditional weather systems. D. To explain the role of supercomputers. 【答案】62. D 63. C 64. C 65. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种新的AI天气预报方法Aardvark Weather，该方法比传统系统更快、更高效，且能提供更精准的局部预测。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems.”可知，新方法的主要优势是速度快且计算能力需求低。故选D。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to make predictions.”可知，新系统的差异在于它从全球不同来源收集数据。故选C。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by present systems, yet in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the correctness of the US Weather Service.”可知，研究人员发现Aardvark仅需现有系统10%的数据量，由此可推断，它对数据的需求量更少。故选C。 【65题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems.”及全文可知，本文主要是介绍了一种新的AI天气预报方法Aardvark Weather。故选B。 第二节： Ever since the first cars were built, carmakers have been working to make them better.

B Food allergies (过敏) can be very dangerous for people. Their bodies may itch (发痒). They may want to throw up and can even die from allergies. What’s worse, food allergies are becoming more common these days. Kari Nadeau, an allergy expert at Stanford University in the US, did a study of food allergies around the world. She found that while 3 percent of people had them in 1960, the number rose to 7 percent in 2018. Nadeau said one reason for this might be that we have fewer interactions (相互作用) with microbiota (微生物群). Microbiota can “train” our bodies and stop us from getting allergies. Our bodies have fewer chances to get close to microbiota these days. We live in cleaner homes. We stay indoors for longer hours. Doctors are using more antibiotics (抗生素) on us as children —antibiotics kill microbiota. Scientists say it’s a good idea for babies to eat many different kinds of foods so that they can build up tolerance (耐受) in their early years. Having a pet cat or dog can also stop the development of allergies. 49. What may happen when people have food allergies, according to the passage? A. They may lose weight. B. They may get hungry easily. C. They may want to throw up. D. They may feel thirsty all the time. 50. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Microbiota can cause allergies. B. The more microbiota, the better. C. We should keep away from microbiota. D. We can go outdoors to get close to microbiota. 51. In which part of a magazine could you find this article? A. Food B. Health C. Music D. Culture 52. What’s the best title of this article? A. A study of food allergies. B. Microbiota. C What cause allergies? D. How to prevent allergies? C “Look! Letters from Leo! Granny will be excited!” Mom said. Andy turned toward his mother. “Leo?” “Granny’s oldest and favorite brother. He made her that special box that sits beside the window—locked up. The key’s been lost forever. Now about those letters...Granny will want them.” Andy picked that special box and letters up, then took them to the kitchen. “What did you put in the box, Granny?” Andy asked. “Nothing! I knew Leo would be joining the army soon. Just before he left, he locked my box and hid the key. He said he’d invented a word game for me and promised he’d send clues. We got letters but not one clue. Leo’s final letter arrived after we heard the heartbreaking news. Mother was so sad. She tore (撕) it in half.” Granny watched Andy spread the letters on the table. She whispered, “I always thought mother threw away all of Leo’s letters.” Andy pointed at one letter in two pieces. “This must be the last letter Leo sent home.” Granny picked up one half of the letter, and read, “Dearest Littlest Sister...” “Leo did send clues. Let’s tape the halves together.” Andy said. Andy read, “Ewe re ed four make?” “Nonsense words,” Granny said. Andy looked at the paper, then said, “Wait! If we read down, instead of across—in columns (列), not rows.” He read the words one by one “You need to read this aloud for it to make some sense.” Granny’s eyes opened wide. “Leo was using homophones (同音异形词)!” She began to read “Go to the room where we ate. See the flower like the sun?” Granny smiled. “The dining room is where we ate. The painting of a sunflower.” Andy was on his way. In a few seconds, he returned, carrying the painting. They discovered another clue printed in light pencil on the back. Andy read, “Look above the hole where rain does not come down. See the broken time piece? There! Inside!” He ran to the fireplace then gave the clock to Granny. “This clock has never kept time.” Granny opened the clock’s tiny glass door and reached inside. “All those years. It’s been right here.” She opened the box with the key and looked into it. There is a photo of a girl and her big brother. On the back of the photo was printed: I NEW you’d worked it out. Use this box for all your special treasures. Love, Leo. Granny gently placed the photo and the letters inside the box. “My treasures,” she said. 53. How may the underlined words “see the flower like the sun” be shown in the letter? A. B. C. D. 54. When Granny said “Nonsense words”, she most probably felt ________. A. angry B. worried C. hopeless D. confident 55. What’s the correct order of the following events? a. Leo locked the box and hid the key. b. Andy read letters from Leo with Granny. c. Leo sent clues to Granny in his letters. d. Granny put something important in the box. e. Leo’s mum tore his last letter into two halves. A. a-c-e-b-d B. d-a-c-e-b C. a-c-b-e-d D. d-a-c-b-e 56. What is the best title for the story? A. Granny’s Favorite Brother B. A Treasure Hunter C. Letters from Leo D. A Special Box D ①Walking slowly out of the classroom by himself to the dining room; taking his lunch; sitting and eating alone at a table of four seats, such moments are pretty normal to be seen on the 14-year-old schoolboy, Peter. He spends most of his school time on his own, which makes his parents worry about him so much. ②His parents’ worries are easy to understand. It is widely accepted that being alone is a symbol of being left out and can bring a lot of trouble. Most people believe teenagers who are usually alone do have few friends and are unable to fit in with other people. At the same time, they are at greater risk (风险) of having mental problems. ③However, a new study by some researchers at Wilmington College, shows that this may not always be true. Whether it is bad for teenagers or not depends on the reasons why teenagers are alone. If it is their choice, it may play an active role in their personal growth. ④According to their study when teenagers choose to think alone, they put 100% of their attention into what is in their mind and are more likely to experience deeper thoughts and feelings than working with others. They may have a greater chance to create something new. In this way they can better develop their creativity (创造力). ⑤On the other hand, the ongoing noise children’s brains receive every day can put great stress on them and make it hard for them to focus. Being alone lets them shut themselves off from the noisy outside world and think about what’s best for them. Slowly they improve their ability to focus. ⑥As a matter of fact, our culture is always biased (有偏见的) against being alone. Maybe it is the right time for us to rethink about Peter’s situation before we say what’s happening to him. 57. Peter’s parents worry about him so much because ______. A. he spends most of his time in the dining hall B. he doesn’t have enough time for his lunch at school C. he often sits alone to have his lunch in the dining hall D. he doesn’t enjoy his meal at lunchtime in the dining hall 58. According to the study by the researchers, being alone ______. A. is often a symbol of loneliness B. never causes mental problems C. always improves teenagers’ focus D. may develop teenagers’creativity 59. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 60. What may be the writer’s opinion according to the passage? A. Peter spends most of his school time alone. B. Choosing to be alone is a symbol of being left out. C. Peter usually spends his time alone to improve his focus. D. More people will have a deeper understanding of being alone in the future. 61. We can probably read this passage from a ______. A. guidebook B. research report C. teenager’s diary D. cultural magazine E A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems. At present, weather forecasts are made through many difficult steps, each taking hours. These systems need supercomputers and large teams of experts to develop and keep them working. However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to make predictions. This promises improvements in forecast speed, correctness, and cost, according to research published in Nature by the University of Cambridge, the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Professor Richard Turner from the University of Cambridge explained that this new method can quickly create specialized forecasts for different industries or locations. For example, it could guess temperatures for farms in Africa or wind speeds for wind energy companies in Europe. Traditional weather systems require large teams and supercomputers to deal with data and create forecasting models, taking hours for just one forecast. “This is a totally different method,” Turner said, adding that the model would finally be able to provide correct eight-day forecasts, compared to the present five-day limit, and offer more localized predictions. Dr. Scott Hosking from the Alan Turing Institute said that this breakthrough could make weather forecasting available to more countries, especially developing countries. It will also help governments, emergency teams, and businesses that need weather predictions. Dr. Anna Allen, the lead author of the paper, highlighted that this research could improve forecasts of natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, as well as problems like air quality and sea ice predictions. Aardvark builds from research from Huawei, Google, and Microsoft, replacing a key step in the traditional method with AI, which makes forecasts faster and more correct. It is already in use at the ECMWF. Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by present systems, yet in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the correctness of the US Weather Service. 62. What is the main advantage of the new AI weather prediction method? A. It depends on supercomputers. B. It requires large teams of experts. C. It predicts for longer periods of time. D. It works faster with less computing power. 63. What makes the new weather prediction model different from traditional systems? A. It mainly predicts weather for developed countries. B. It can hardly predict natural disasters and air quality. C. It gathers data from different sources across the world. D. It only pays attention to specific industries like agriculture. 64. What can we infer about the new weather prediction method? A. It doesn’t need human effort. B. It is more expensive to use. C. It requires less data to work. D. It doesn’t develop specialized forecasts. 65. What is the purpose of the article? A. To describe weather forecasting history. B. To introduce a new AI weather model. C. To criticize traditional weather systems. D. To explain the role of supercomputers. 第二节： Ever since the first cars were built, carmakers have been working to make them better.
