阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Some people learn a foreign language because they want to communicate with the local people. Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. Whatever your reason may be, the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. You will be able to speak fluently and understand the language clearly as well.
Tell Me More
This software is widely used in US schools, and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning software around the world. It offers instructions for learning Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. However, the software does not come cheap as it costs around $ 250.
Talk Now
If you are looking for cheaper language learning software, then this is just the suitable choice for you. This software will cost you around $40, and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More, it is still very good software for the purpose. The disadvantage is that there is a clear lack (缺少) of interactive (互动的) activities for users so it does not result in fluency.
Instant Immersion
This software supplies learning material for up to 35 different languages, and it is widely considered as the best software for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you around $ 30, and this is a very reasonable price for such a piece of highly recommended and loved language learning software. The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition (语音识别) feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak.
Kid Speak
This is a kind of foreign language translation software that you can make use of, and it will cost you around $ 30. So it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now. This software is designed more for children to use for interesting videos.
1. What can we know about learning a language from Paragraph 1?
A. Different people have different purposes. B. It is unnecessary to talk with the natives.
C. Understanding foreign cultures is the key. D. Using software is the most effective way.
2. What is the disadvantage of Tell Me More?
A. It has no interactive activities. B. It costs much more than the others.
C. It is short of language learning methods. D. It provides no interesting videos for children.
3. Which of the software best suits users with poor pronunciation?

Every day as the sun rises, Ma Hongyi, a 66-year-old farmer, can be seen patrolling (巡逻) Yuncheng Salt Lake with his dog in Yuncheng city, North China’s Shanxi province.
Ma still remembers the day when he first saw two big pink birds walking through the water. “I had never seen such pretty birds. They were even taller than me, with long wings,” Ma recalls. He was later told that the birds were flamingos (火烈鸟), which were listed on the International Union for Protection of Nature’s red list of endangered species in 2013. From that day on, Ma started his second career as a volunteer to prevent human beings from interfering with the wildlife. “The birds are attracted by the good environment,” Ma says. “I will do my best to protect the lake so that birds can come here every year.”
Yuncheng Salt Lake covers an area of 132 square kilometres and used to serve as a salt production base. As the country began paying more attention to environmental protection, an ecological (生态的) protection and development centre was set up in 2012 to carry out regular ecological protection and restoration (修复) of the lake. “The greatest value of the Salt Lake lies in its ecology, which should be properly restored and protected,” says Chu Xianghao, mayor of the city. The lake area hosts 292 types of wild animals, along with 782 plant varieties, some of which are newly recorded species in the country.
After patrolling the lake as volunteer for over four years Ma was paid by the local government to help with wildlife protection in 2019. “The lake’s ecology is getting better,” Ma says, adding that he looks forward to the arrival of the flamingos every year. “Some of them are my old friends,” he says.
4. Why does Ma patrol Yuncheng Salt Lake every day?
A. To observe the flamingos closely. B. To come across the flamingos again.
C. To serve as a keeper of the lake. D. To admire the scenery around the lake.
5. What does the underlined phrase “interfering with” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Sharing space with. B. Causing problems to.
C. Bringing benefits to. D. Losing control of.
6. What can be inferred about Yuncheng Salt Lake from Paragraph 3?
A. It is still used as a salt production base.
B. Its restoration will be carried out soon.
C. It’s home to 292 types of endangered wildlife.
D. The protection of its ecology is of great importance.
7. Which word can best describe Ma?
A. Responsible. B. Creative. C. Honest. D. Humorous.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““The greatest value of the Salt Lake lies in its ecology, which should be properly restored and protected,” says Chu Xianghao, mayor of the city.(“盐湖最大的价值在于其生态,应当对其进行妥善的恢复和保护。”该市市长储祥好说道)”可知,盐湖的最重要价值在于它的生态,需要正确地恢复和保护,所以保护盐湖的生态是非常重要的。故选D。

After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.
Unlike common gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, separate rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.
Every four-square-metre room provides a treadmill (跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains (窗帘) for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. But there’s no shower.
Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by a smartphone app, book a room in advance and then need to scan a QR code (二维码) for use. A refundable deposit (可退还的押金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 1 yuan every 5 minutes.
The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within several months since it was founded, the company has already raised over 100 million yuan. However, the idea of the shared fitness experience is not totally new. Last December, the company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.
The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident people are pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Centre published a report which says that the total value of China’s sharing economy will see a yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to make a great contribution to the country’s GDP.
8. What makes the shared gym room different from the common one?
A. Sharing open spaces. B. Providing free training courses.
C. Holding one person at a time. D. Having some advanced equipment.
9. What do people need to do to use the shared gym room?
A. Pay 100 yuan first. B. Book a room ahead of time.
C. Have a shower before exercise. D. Let down curtains for privacy.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards China’s sharing economy?
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Worried. D. Positive.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce shared gym rooms. B. To praise a technology company.
C. To support the idea of sharing gym rooms. D. To tell the future of shared gym rooms.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在中国出现的新兴产业:共享健身房以及共享健身房的一些特点和使用方法和这个项目的创立过程等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike common gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, separate rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.(与那些为众多会员提供宽敞公共空间供其同时使用的普通健身房不同,新建成的共享健身房房间则较小,是供个人使用的独立房间,通常设置在居民区附近)”可知,共享健身房不同于普通健身房,它一次容纳一个人。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by a smartphone app, book a room in advance and then need to scan a QR code (二维码) for use.(与使用共享自行车类似,用户可以通过智能手机应用程序找到共享健身房的位置,提前预订房间,然后需要扫描二维码才能使用)”可知,人们需要提前预订房间才能使用共享健身房。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China.(共享经济在中国仍十分流行)”以及本段中作者引用国家信息中心的预测数据来证明自己的观点,共享经济在中国的发展前景很好。由此推知,作者对中国共享经济的态度是积极的。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并根据第一段“After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.(在自行车和雨伞在全中国实现了共享使用之后,一些公司开始关注健身市场,于是共享健身房在北京市的街头也出现了)”可知,文章介绍了在中国出现的新兴产业:共享健身房以及共享健身房的一些特点和使用方法和这个项目的创立过程等。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍共享健身房。故选A。
D
3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?
Some scientists are trying to completely change the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the fridge.
Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: You simply have to choose a recipe (食谱) and put the food “inks” into the printer. You can also adapt the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and healthy meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient.
Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphagia (吞咽困难). They could programme the printer to print softer foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing (吞咽) them.
However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional (营养的) value of printed food: Is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from food-based inks?
What’s more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.
12. Why is the question raised in Paragraph 1?
A. To list some facts. B. To show the author’s curiosity.
C. To ask readers for their answers. D. To introduce the topic of the text.
13. How does 3D food printing benefit people with dysphagia?
A. By printing tasty and healthy meals. B. By cutting down the time spent cooking.
C. By producing food that is easier to swallow. D. By helping put more nutrition into the food.
14. What influence might 3D food printing bring?
A. Traditional food would disappear. B. We could all eat the same food.
C. Many people could lose their jobs. D. It would be bad for the people’s health.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. 3D Food Printing: Coming to the Kitchen B. 3D Printing Is Able to Create Everything
C. The Disadvantages of 3D Food Printing D. 3D Printing Food Will Soon Be in Fashion
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了3D食品打印技术和它带来的好处及一些人对于该项发明的看法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?(3D打印正变得越来越流行。我们现在能够使用3D打印机非常快速和轻松地创造我们需要的东西。但是你能想象打印食物吗?)”以及后文对3D食品打印技术的介绍可知,第一段提出问题是为了引出话题。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段内容“Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphagia (吞咽困难). They could programme the printer to print softer foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing (吞咽) them.(打印食物还可以帮助患有吞咽困难的人。他们可以对打印机进行编程,打印较软的食物,这样他们就不会有吞咽的困难)”可知, 3D食品打印可以为吞咽困难症的患者打印软一些的食物,让他们吞咽更加容易。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段的句子“However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food.(然而,有些人认为3D食品打印的未来将是一场灾难。它可能会夺走许多工作,包括种植、运输和包装食品的工作)”可知, 一些人认为3D食品打印是一场灾难,因为3D食品打印会使得很多人失去工作。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段内容“Some scientists are trying to completely change the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the fridge.(一些科学家正试图通过这样做来彻底改变用餐体验。他们希望在厨房里有一台3D打印机能像冰箱一样普遍)”及全文内容可知, 本文主要介绍了3D食品打印技术和它带来的好处及一些人对于该项发明的看法,所以,A项“3D Food Printing: Coming to the Kitchen.(3D食品打印:即将进入厨房)作为本文的题目,与文章主题相符合。故选A项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often joked about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town and they decided that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids in the school. I looked down at this tiny girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
“But how could I help her fit in with us? There had to be a way”, I thought to myself.
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a perfect copy of it.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming talent show. So, I shared my idea with her and took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker. I showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Wow, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker. She then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough time. Could you help me, Suzy?” “Of course, Miss Parker. I’d love to” said Suzy. I was on the edge of my seat with a strong sense of fulfilment.
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s posters were everywhere—all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.

【答案】
“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a special award.” The entire audience turned their heads towards the stage with curiosity. As the curtains parted, Suzy Khan appeared, her face flushed with excitement. She held a stack of her beautiful posters in her hands. The crowd erupted in applause as she walked towards the front of the stage. Mr. Brown praised her for her exceptional talent and dedication to the talent show. Suzy beamed with pride, her eyes glistening with tears of joy.
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set as an award. When she accepted the gift, Suzy’s face lit up with a smile that reached her eyes. The boys in the audience, who had once mocked her, now applauded her with genuine admiration. Suzy turned to me with a grateful glance, her eyes shining with gratitude. That moment marked a turning point in her life at school. From then on, she was no longer an outsider; she was a part of our community, a talented and respected artist.

Some people learn a foreign language because they want to communicate with the local people. Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. Whatever your reason may be, the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. You will be able to speak fluently and understand the language clearly as well.
Tell Me More
This software is widely used in US schools and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning software around the world. It offers instructions for learning Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. However, the software does not come cheap as it costs around $ 250.
Talk Now
If you are looking for cheaper language learning software, then this is just the suitable choice for you. This software will cost you around $40, and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More, it is still very good software for the purpose. The disadvantage is that there is a clear lack (缺少) of interactive (互动的) activities for users so it does not result in fluency.
Instant Immersion
This software supplies learning material for up to 35 different languages, and it is widely considered as the best software for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you around $ 30, and this is a very reasonable price for such a piece of highly recommended and loved language learning software. The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition (语音识别) feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak.
Kid Speak
This is a kind of foreign language translation software that you can make use of, and it will cost you around $ 30. So it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now. This software is designed more for children to use for interesting videos.
1. What can we know about learning a language from Paragraph 1?
A. Different people have different purposes. B. It is unnecessary to talk with the natives.
C. Understanding foreign cultures is the key. D. Using software is the most effective way.

Every day as the sun rises, Ma Hongyi, a 66-year-old farmer, can be seen patrolling (巡逻) Yuncheng Salt Lake with his dog in Yuncheng city, North China’s Shanxi province.
Ma still remembers the day when he first saw two big pink birds walking through the water. “I had never seen such pretty birds. They were even taller than me, with long wings,” Ma recalls. He was later told that the birds were flamingos (火烈鸟), which were listed on the International Union for Protection of Nature’s red list of endangered species in 2013. From that day on, Ma started his second career as a volunteer to prevent human beings from interfering with the wildlife. “The birds are attracted by the good environment,” Ma says. “I will do my best to protect the lake so that birds can come here every year.”
Yuncheng Salt Lake covers an area of 132 square kilometres and used to serve as a salt production base. As the country began paying more attention to environmental protection, an ecological (生态的) protection and development centre was set up in 2012 to carry out regular ecological protection and restoration (修复) of the lake. “The greatest value of the Salt Lake lies in its ecology, which should be properly restored and protected,” says Chu Xianghao, mayor of the city. The lake area hosts 292 types of wild animals, along with 782 plant varieties, some of which are newly recorded species in the country.
After patrolling the lake as volunteer for over four years, Ma was paid by the local government to help with wildlife protection in 2019. “The lake’s ecology is getting better,” Ma says, adding that he looks forward to the arrival of the flamingos every year. “Some of them are my old friends,” he says.
4. Why does Ma patrol Yuncheng Salt Lake every day?
A. To observe the flamingos closely. B. To come across the flamingos again.
C. To serve as a keeper of the lake. D. To admire the scenery around the lake.
5. What does the underlined phrase “interfering with” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Sharing space with. B. Causing problems to.
C. Bringing benefits to. D. Losing control of.
6. What can be inferred about Yuncheng Salt Lake from Paragraph 3?
A. It is still used as a salt production base.
B. Its restoration will be carried out soon.
C. It’s home to 292 types of endangered wildlife.
D. The protection of its ecology is of great importance.
7. Which word can best describe Ma?
A. Responsible. B. Creative. C. Honest. D. Humorous.
C
After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.
Unlike common gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, separate rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.
Every four-square-metre room provides a treadmill (跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains (窗帘) for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. But there’s no shower.
Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by a smartphone app, book a room in advance and then need to scan a QR code (二维码) for use. A refundable deposit (可退还的押金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 1 yuan every 5 minutes.
The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within several months since it was founded, the company has already raised over 100 million yuan. However, the idea of the shared fitness experience is not totally new. Last December, the company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.
The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident people are pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Centre published a report which says that the total value of China’s sharing economy will see a yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to make a great contribution to the country’s GDP.
8. What makes the shared gym room different from the common one?
A. Sharing open spaces. B. Providing free training courses.
C. Holding one person at a time. D. Having some advanced equipment.
9. What do people need to do to use the shared gym room?
A. Pay 100 yuan first. B. Book a room ahead of time.
C. Have a shower before exercise. D. Let down curtains for privacy.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards China’s sharing economy?
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Worried. D. Positive.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce shared gym rooms. B. To praise a technology company.
C. To support the idea of sharing gym rooms. D. To tell the future of shared gym rooms.
D
3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?
Some scientists are trying to completely change the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the fridge.
Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: You simply have to choose a recipe (食谱) and put the food “inks” into the printer. You can also adapt the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and healthy meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient.
Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphagia (吞咽困难). They could programme the printer to print softer foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing (吞咽) them.
However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional (营养的) value of printed food: Is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from food-based inks?
What’s more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.
12. Why is the question raised in Paragraph 1?
A. To list some facts. B. To show the author’s curiosity.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often joked about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town and they decided that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids in the school. I looked down at this tiny girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
“But how could I help her fit in with us? There had to be a way”, I thought to myself.
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a perfect copy of it.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming talent show. So, I shared my idea with her and took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker. I showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Wow, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker. She then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough time. Could you help me, Suzy?” “Of course, Miss Parker. I’d love to” said Suzy. I was on the edge of my seat with a strong sense of fulfilment.
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s posters were everywhere—all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
