Being a child, I was unable to understand him. When I was older, my father started doing a part-time job at home. He used to bring some work back and work till late. My father taught me how to read when I was five. He took care of me all night when I was sick. Whenever I felt down, he would cheer me up. He also cared about my lessons and often helped me get ready for exams. Later he sent me to New Delhi for the best education. Whenever I needed money, he never said no. He always tried to collect money for my studies. Two years ago, I got a job at a hospital in New Delhi. When I helped my first patient, I got a strong feeling of satisfaction. When I got my first salary (薪水), I spent it all on myself. When I returned home one evening, I heard my father talking with one neighbour. He was very proud to tell him about my job. He also told him that I had a higher salary than him. A dream that his son should become better than himself came true. I was unable to move. The past 23 years came into my mind in a moment. I knew that my father loved me very much. I could understand the meaning of my father’s wish. I could understand the decisions my father made in the past. The financial difficulty (财务困难) he was facing was because of his goal—to make his child greater than himself. 53. Paragraph 2 is mainly about ______.

It seems that people feel different temperatures on the same day. Why does this happen? In fact, people don’t feel air temperature directly. There are sensors (传感器) on our skin that can feel cold, cool, warm, and hot temperatures. These sensors are also found in our noses and bodies. We can feel cold or hot even in the same weather. People’s bodies react differently to the same air temperature. When bodies are the same size, how much body fat we have can be different and influence how we feel temperatures. The more body fat one has, the warmer he or she feels. This is because the fat under the skin helps keep heat, according to the website The Swaddle. For example, old people often feel colder than young people as the fat layer under the skin gets thinner with age. Surprisingly, another reason is height. We need blood to move around our bodies to keep us warm. Since most people’s hearts are about the same size, it takes more effort and time for the blood to move around in taller people. So taller people might feel colder, said the newsletter Mic. Metabolism (新陈代谢) also influences how we feel temperatures. It shows how fast our bodies use energy. People with a higher metabolism always feel hotter than others. This is because they produce more heat and may take more time to cool down. For example, people with more muscles (肌肉) often feel warmer, according to Medicover Genetics. 57. How does the writer start the topic (话题)? A. By listing numbers. B. By asking a question. C. By giving examples. D. By making a survey. 58. Why do old people feel cold more easily? A. Because they have thinner skin. B. Because their bodies get smaller. C. Because they can’t keep heat easily. D. Because they have less fat under their skin. 59. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A Height can make taller people feel colder. B. Height can make shorter people different. C. Metabolism can influence the way we feel. D. The fat can help people keep the heat well. 60. How is the passage organized? A. B. C. D. 【答案】57. C 58. D 59. A 60. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了为什么不同的人在相同的温度下感受到的温度不同。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In spring, some people wear T-shirts while others are in down coats. It seems that people feel different temperatures on the same day.”可知，文章开头通过列举不同的人在同一天穿着不同的衣服的例子来引出话题。故选C。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“old people often feel colder than young people as the fat layer under the skin gets thinner with age”可知，随着年龄的增长，皮肤下的脂肪层越来越薄，老年人往往比年轻人感觉更冷。故选D。 【59题详解】 段落大意题。根据“another reason is height”及整段可知，此段主要讲述影响人们对温度的感受的另一个原因是身高，身高较高的人可能因血液循环需更长时间而更容易感到寒冷。故选A。 【60题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段介绍引出的主题；第二段指出核心观点，人体通过皮肤传感器感知温度；第三、四、五段分别从体脂、身高和新陈代谢三个方面论述为什么同一天气下人们对温度的感知不同，本文结构为总——分。故选D。 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯， Zhang Huichun, 65, is a master of making Wuyi Rock Tea.

She kept talking about buying Anna a new phone as a present! I told her my daughter had already got one, but she would ask several times every day. So I took this photo in the winter holiday. When she asked about it, I would show her the photo. (Shirley) At first, Wang Ming said he looked down upon his job. But every time he sent medicine to sick people, carried important things for the elderly upstairs, or brought a warm dinner to those working overtime (加班), he realized the importance of his job. Gradually, he fell in love with it. I interviewed him and took a photo during his work. See, there’s sunshine in his smile. (Li Hao) This is a photo of our family member, Tiantian. Look! How high she’s jumping! Over a year ago, we found a yellow kitten with a broken leg next to the rubbish bin. My daughter wanted to take her to the hospital. At last, I agreed. To our great surprise, the doctor saved her leg and two months later, she became healthy again. (Jenny) My wife Zoe is a runner. Running her first marathon in a wheelchair was really tough, but she worked hard to get ready for it. On the race day, she told me she felt excited and nervous.

THANK YOU.” The old gentleman saw the notice. He smiled and waved to the children. When they told Mother about the old gentleman, she was very angry with them. “It was wrong to ask a stranger for help,” she said. Then, she stopped being angry and began to cry. The children thought this was worse. “I’m sorry I was angry with you,” she said. “I know you don’t really understand. We’re poor, but we have enough money for food. You must never ever again ask anyone to give you things.” Then, Mother wrote a letter to the old gentleman. “Take this to the station master,” she said. “He will ask someone to give it to the old gentleman.” The children went to the station. They gave the letter to the station master. Then, they went to the porter’s room to talk to him. The porter’s name was Perks. He was friendly and told them about all the different kinds of engines. The next day was Roberta’s birthday. Mother told her to go away and stay away until teatime. She felt very lonely in the garden, so she walked out of it and down the path to the canal (运河). There were barges on the canal, and people not only worked on the barges, they lived on them. The barges were their home, and the people were called barges. Sadly, they were not very friendly to children. While Roberta was standing on the bridge looking down at the barges as they passed under it, the doctor came up in his small horse and cart. “Hello, head nurse,” he said. “Do you want a ride home?” Roberta got into the cart and sat next to the doctor. —Taken from The Railway Children 49.

Being a child, I was unable to understand him. When I was older, my father started doing a part-time job at home. He used to bring some work back and work till late. My father taught me how to read when I was five. He took care of me all night when I was sick. Whenever I felt down, he would cheer me up. He also cared about my lessons and often helped me get ready for exams. Later he sent me to New Delhi for the best education. Whenever I needed money, he never said no. He always tried to collect money for my studies. Two years ago, I got a job at a hospital in New Delhi. When I helped my first patient, I got a strong feeling of satisfaction. When I got my first salary (薪水), I spent it all on myself. When I returned home one evening, I heard my father talking with one neighbour. He was very proud to tell him about my job. He also told him that I had a higher salary than him. A dream that his son should become better than himself came true. I was unable to move. The past 23 years came into my mind in a moment. I knew that my father loved me very much. I could understand the meaning of my father’s wish. I could understand the decisions my father made in the past. The financial difficulty (财务困难) he was facing was because of his goal—to make his child greater than himself. 53. Paragraph 2 is mainly about ______.

(D) In spring, some people wear T-shirts while others are in down coats. It seems that people feel different temperatures on the same day. Why does this happen? In fact, people don’t feel air temperature directly. There are sensors (传感器) on our skin that can feel cold, cool, warm, and hot temperatures. These sensors are also found in our noses and bodies. We can feel cold or hot even in the same weather. People’s bodies react differently to the same air temperature. When bodies are the same size, how much body fat we have can be different and influence how we feel temperatures. The more body fat one has, the warmer he or she feels. This is because the fat under the skin helps keep heat, according to the website The Swaddle. For example, old people often feel colder than young people as the fat layer under the skin gets thinner with age. Surprisingly, another reason is height. We need blood to move around our bodies to keep us warm. Since most people’s hearts are about the same size, it takes more effort and time for the blood to move around in taller people. So taller people might feel colder, said the newsletter Mic. Metabolism (新陈代谢) also influences how we feel temperatures. It shows how fast our bodies use energy. People with a higher metabolism always feel hotter than others. This is because they produce more heat and may take more time to cool down. For example, people with more muscles (肌肉) often feel warmer, according to Medicover Genetics. 57. How does the writer start the topic (话题)? A. By listing numbers. B. By asking a question. C. By giving examples. D. By making a survey. 58. Why do old people feel cold more easily? A. Because they have thinner skin. B. Because their bodies get smaller. C. Because they can’t keep heat easily. D. Because they have less fat under their skin. 59. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. Height can make taller people feel colder. B. Height can make shorter people different. C. Metabolism can influence the way we feel. D. The fat can help people keep the heat well. 60. How is the passage organized? A. B. C. D. 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯， Zhang Huichun, 65, is a master of making Wuyi Rock Tea. It is a kind of Oolong tea. ____61____ That is why it got its name.

Kang left college in 2016 and worked in the Mohe Forestry Bureau. In 2018, during a visit to a museum in Beijing, Kang Jian learned something about dough sculpting. Then he had the idea of taking his childhood interest up. He visited some famous artists and learned to make dough sculptures from them. As a lover of Chinese literature, Kang Jian would like to make dough sculptures of Chinese heroes, such as Monkey King and Guan Yu. In April 2022, he even finished the dough sculptures of 108 heroes from the novel Outlaws of the Marsh after 16 months of work. When Kang Jian is free, he will give classes at schools to teach students to make dough sculptures.
