Mark asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Mark’s father knew that few boys would want someone like Mark, mentally and physically disabled, on their team, but the father still approached to ask the boys if Mark could play. They exchanged glances with each other and said, “We’ll try to put him in to bat.”
Mark struggled over to the team’s bench and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.
In the bottom of the final inning, Mark was scheduled to be at bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Mark missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Mark. As the pitch came in, Mark swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman, but he just threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates. The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Mark, run to first!” Never in his life had Mark ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.
By the time Mark rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.
All were screaming. “Mark, run to third.” As Mark rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Mark, run home!” Mark ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team. Tears rolled down the father’s cheeks.
That day, the boys from both teams helped bring true love and humanity into this world.
4. Why did Mark’s father, not expecting much, still ask if Mark could join the team?
A. Because he noticed some of the boys on the field were friendly.
B. Because he knew some of the boys on the field knew Mark well.
C. Because he understood Mark did need a feeling of being accepted.
D. Because he guessed Mark’s disability would affect the boys’ decision.
5. What does the underlined word “intentions” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The pitcher wanted to help Mark win the game.
B. The pitcher pretended to throw the ball high and far.
C. The pitcher looked forward to winning the game for his team.
D. The pitcher had intended to throw the ball to the first baseman.
6. Which has nothing to do with Mark’s becoming the hero for his team?
A. Some of the opposing players ran to help him.
B. The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.
C. The opposing players failed to stop his running to home.
D. The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him.
7. What is the theme of the story?
A. True human nature could be realized in the way we treat each other.
B. Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and please his parents.
C. The results of the game should not be the only concern of the players.
D. Everyone has his own strength even if mentally or physically disabled.
C
When robots and humans interact in the same environment, it is important for them to move in techniques that monitor an environment, predict the future actions of humans, identify secure track for a robot and control its movements accordingly.
Predicting human behavior and movements, however, can be incredibly challenging. Determining the future movements of a robot, on the other hand, could be far easier. If human users could anticipate the movements of robots and the effects these will have on the surrounding environment, they should then be able to easily adapt their actions in order to avoid accidents.
With this in mind researchers at Kyushu University in Japan recently created a near-future perception system named Previewed Reality that allows human users to forecast future changes in their environment, which could then inform their decisions and guide their actions. This system compiles (编译) a data-set containing information about the position of objects, humans and robots within the same environment, to then produce simulations (模拟) of events that could take place in the near future. These simulations are presented to human users via Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) headsets.
To collect information about the position of different objects, robots, and humans in the same environment, the researchers used a number of strategically placed sensors, including optical trackers that monitored the movements of objects or robots, and a RGB-D camera which mainly tracked human actions. The data gathered by the sensors was then fed to a motion planner and a dynamics simulator. Combining these two system components allowed the researchers to forecast changes in a given environment and synthesize (合成) images of events that are likely to occur in the near future, from the viewpoint of a specific human. Human users could then view these synthesized images simply through a VR headset or an AR display.
“This system provides human-friendly communication between a human and a robotic system.” the researchers explained. In their next studies, they plan to expand and simplify the perception system, for instance by creating a lighter and more affordable version that can operate on smart phones or other portable devices.
8. Why did the researchers develop the system?
A. To predict future changes in human behavior.
B. To record developments in the field of robotics.
C. To enhance safety of human-robot interactions.
D. To make good use of virtual reality technology.
9. What is special about Previewed Reality?
A. It simulates near-future events via VR headsets.
B. It enables human users to perceive future events.
C. It guides robots to track humans’ movements easily.
D. It helps determine the position information of objects.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The functions of the system components. B. The dynamic way to synthesize images.
C. The inner structure of Previewed Reality. D. The working procedure of Previewed Reality.
11. What might the researchers do in the future?
A. Promote the new version through advertising.
B. Trial this perception system with smart phones.
C. Make the system accessible on portable devices.
D. Apply some new techniques to robotic systems.
D
There are some things money can’t buy. Education, however, does not appear to be among them—at least as measured by performance on international exams. A new study by Harvard University offers strong evidence that the wealth of a country affects exam results just as much as the wealth of a pupil’s household does. On average, pupils in wealthy countries obtain vastly higher test scores than those in developing ones.
Evaluating test scores around the world is harder than it sounds. Although pupils in the rich world mostly take one of a few big international exams, many developing countries rely on regional tests, making apples-to-apples comparisons impossible.
Researchers organized an exam in 2016 for 2,314 children in India, which included both questions from the leading tests and ones taken from smaller exams. Using answers from the same pupils on the same day to questions from different tests, they built a statistical model they called a “Rosetta Stone”. It can translate scores from a range of exams—such as one used only in west Africa—into an equal mark on other common international tests.
They then used these equations(等式)to estimate how pupils in 80 different countries would fare on the benchmark(基准)Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Their data show that the wealth of a student’s country and family have similar impacts on test scores—meaning that big gaps in GDP per person matter more than small ones in household income do. For example, pupils from families that are very poor by rich-world standards—those earning $5,000 a year—are expected to score around 500 out of 1,000 on the TIMSS in America, and 560 in Japan. In contrast, those whose parents make $10,000 a year in an upper-middle income country can only get the equivalent(等价物)of a 475.
The influence of parental earnings is not constant. Rich people tend to educate their children privately in places where wealth is concentrated, such as Brazil. However, in countries with relatively flat income distributions, like Croatia, pupils from different social classes are more likely to attend the same schools. This could reduce the impact of family wealth on test scores.
12. Why is it hard to evaluate the exam scores on a global level?
A. Because the types of exams vary with countries.
B. Because many rich countries refuse regional tests.
C. Because the wealth of a country affects exam results.
D. Because no international exam is available to poor areas.
13. Why did the researchers establish a “Rosetta Stone”?
A. To integrate different exams into a common one.
B. To evaluate different exams with distinct approaches.
C. To fix the standard of the exams in different countries.
D. To turn scores of different exams into an equivalent mark.
14. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Poor students tend to be academically superior to rich ones.
B. Students from rich families will definitely get higher grades.
C. The influence of family income on students is related to circumstances.
D. People with high social status are more likely to educate their children privately.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Education is something money can’t buy.
B. The wealth of a country matters for education.
C. Family income plays an important role in education.
D. A statistical model helps to evaluate the exam scores.

Communicating with Nature
The natural world is amazing. In fact, it is one that you can have a “conversation” with. ____16____Apart from the obvious-that it’s an enjoyable, uplifting thing to do-you may seek to communicate with nature to benefit your mental health, for example.
When you arrive at your chosen spot, sit quietly for a few moments. ____17____Just talk in your head as you would to someone you’re opening a conversation with. “Hey, I’m Nikki. How are you doing today? Do you have time for a chat?” It doesn’t matter what you say, so long as you say it with an open heart, and you make it clear that you’re inviting communication.
____18____A million ways. You may notice a particular animal or insect coming closer to you and communicating energetically. You may notice a rhythm (韵律) or a pattern in the sound of the water or of the wind. Be mindful of what’s going on around you, be part of the natural world——you’ll soon notice so many ways in which your answers may come.
The first few times you attempt this exercise, you probably won’t see, hear or notice anything you choose to interpret as communication. ____19____If you practice this on a regular basis, however, you will start to pick things up. As you become more and more familiar with the oneness of yourself and the world around you, you will sense and understand more about what will occur during your “conversations”.
____20____There should be some benefit to nature, just as there is a benefit to you. When your time is over and you’re ready to leave, say thank you energetically and in your mind, but also say thank you in a practical way. Leave the area in a better state than you found it, for example, by picking up rubbish on your way out.
A. That’s OK. It doesn’t happen overnight.
B. How will you know if nature responds to you?
C. Communication with nature should be a two-way street.
D. And then ask to communicate with the nature around you.
E. How can you start communicating with the natural world?
F. It just depends on what you choose for your “conversation”.
G. You may be wondering why you might want to communicate with nature.

I believe that mastering a foreign language is important. Therefore, it takes time and practice to become fluent in the foreign language. I think a good approach to learning about a foreign language is studying in a setting where only that language was spoken. This can be done by neither living in a country where the target language is spoken or attended a school where the target language is the primary medium of instruction. When you are involved in it, you are forced to use it constant. You can’t rely on your native language to communicate with other. This type of exposure to a foreign language help you learn the grammar and vocabulary much faster and effectively.

Mark asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Mark’s father knew that few boys would want someone like Mark, mentally and physically disabled, on their team, but the father still approached to ask the boys if Mark could play. They exchanged glances with each other and said, “We’ll try to put him in to bat.”
Mark struggled over to the team’s bench and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.
In the bottom of the final inning, Mark was scheduled to be at bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Mark missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Mark. As the pitch came in, Mark swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman, but he just threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates. The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Mark, run to first!” Never in his life had Mark ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.
By the time Mark rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.
All were screaming. “Mark, run to third.” As Mark rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Mark, run home!” Mark ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team. Tears rolled down the father’s cheeks.
That day, the boys from both teams helped bring true love and humanity into this world.
4. Why did Mark’s father, not expecting much, still ask if Mark could join the team?
A. Because he noticed some of the boys on the field were friendly.
B. Because he knew some of the boys on the field knew Mark well.
C. Because he understood Mark did need a feeling of being accepted.
D. Because he guessed Mark’s disability would affect the boys’ decision.
5. What does the underlined word “intentions” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The pitcher wanted to help Mark win the game.
B. The pitcher pretended to throw the ball high and far.
C. The pitcher looked forward to winning the game for his team.
D. The pitcher had intended to throw the ball to the first baseman.
6. Which has nothing to do with Mark’s becoming the hero for his team?
A. Some of the opposing players ran to help him.
B. The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.
C. The opposing players failed to stop his running to home.
D The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him.
7. What is the theme of the story?
A. True human nature could be realized in the way we treat each other.
B. Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and please his parents.
C. The results of the game should not be the only concern of the players.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个暖心故事,身患残疾的Mark想要打棒球,球员答应让他上场,为了成全身患残疾的Mark,球队双方进行了善意地欺骗,故意屡屡失手,共同制造了一个特殊的“英雄”——Mark。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Mark’s father knew that few boys would want someone like Mark, mentally and physically disabled, on their team, but the father still approached to ask the boys if Mark could play. They exchanged glances with each other and said, ‘We’ll try to put him in to bat.’(马克的父亲知道,很少有男孩会想要像马克这样有精神和身体残疾的人加入他们的球队,但父亲还是走过去问孩子们马克是否可以参加比赛。他们互相交换了一下眼色,说:“我们会设法让他上场的。”)”可知,Mark的父亲理解儿子的心情,理解他需要一种被接受的感觉,虽然身患残疾,但Mark希望得到别人的认可和接受。故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段“By the time Mark rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.(当马克转到二垒时,他们队中最小的家伙,第一次有机会成为他们队的英雄,明白了投手的 intentions,他也故意把球扔得很高,远远超过了三垒手的头。)”可知,球队中最小的男孩故意把球扔得又高又远,因为理解了投手的意图。intention是“意图”。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。通过倒数第二段“All were screaming. ‘Mark, run to third.’ As Mark rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, ‘Mark, run home!’Mark ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.(所有人都在尖叫。“马克,跑到三垒。”马克跑到三垒时,所有人都站了起来,喊着:“马克,跑回家!”马克跑向本垒,踏上本垒,大家欢呼雀跃,认为他是球队赢得比赛的英雄。)”以及最后一段“That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world. (那一天,两支队伍的男孩们为这个世界带来了一份真爱和人性)”可推知,对方球员并不是不能阻止Mark跑回主场,他们是为了让身患残疾的Mark感到快乐,球队双方都进行了善意地欺骗,故意屡屡失手,共同制造了一个特殊的“英雄”,C项“对方球员没能阻止他向家跑去。”与文章内容及主题不符。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,再通过最后一段“That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world. (那一天,两支队伍的男孩们为这个世界带来了一份真爱和人性)”以及“having never forgotten being the hero (他从未忘记自己是英雄)”可推知,本文通过讲述棒球球员与身患残疾的Shay之间的暖心故事,引出了一个关于人性的话题,通过这个故事可以领悟到真正的人性可以通过我们对待彼此的方式来实现。故选A。
C
When robots and humans interact in the same environment, it is important for them to move in techniques that monitor an environment, predict the future actions of humans, identify secure track for a robot and control its movements accordingly.
Predicting human behavior and movements, however, can be incredibly challenging. Determining the future movements of a robot, on the other hand, could be far easier. If human users could anticipate the movements of robots and the effects these will have on the surrounding environment, they should then be able to easily adapt their actions in order to avoid accidents.
With this in mind, researchers at Kyushu University in Japan recently created a near-future perception system named Previewed Reality that allows human users to forecast future changes in their environment, which could then inform their decisions and guide their actions. This system compiles (编译) a data-set containing information about the position of objects, humans and robots within the same environment, to then produce simulations (模拟) of events that could take place in the near future. These simulations are presented to human users via Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) headsets.
To collect information about the position of different objects, robots, and humans in the same environment, the researchers used a number of strategically placed sensors, including optical trackers that monitored the movements of objects or robots, and a RGB-D camera which mainly tracked human actions. The data gathered by the sensors was then fed to a motion planner and a dynamics simulator. Combining these two system components allowed the researchers to forecast changes in a given environment and synthesize (合成) images of events that are likely to occur in the near future, from the viewpoint of a specific human. Human users could then view these synthesized images simply through a VR headset or an AR display.
“This system provides human-friendly communication between a human and a robotic system.” the researchers explained. In their next studies, they plan to expand and simplify the perception system, for instance by creating a lighter and more affordable version that can operate on smart phones or other portable devices.
8. Why did the researchers develop the system?
A. To predict future changes in human behavior.
B. To record developments in the field of robotics.
C. To enhance safety of human-robot interactions.
D. To make good use of virtual reality technology.
9. What is special about Previewed Reality?
A. It simulates near-future events via VR headsets.
B. It enables human users to perceive future events.
C. It guides robots to track humans’ movements easily.
D. It helps determine the position information of objects.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The functions of the system components. B. The dynamic way to synthesize images.
C. The inner structure of Previewed Reality. D. The working procedure of Previewed Reality.
11. What might the researchers do in the future?
A. Promote the new version through advertising.
B. Trial this perception system with smart phones.
C. Make the system accessible on portable devices.
D. Apply some new techniques to robotic systems.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了日本的研究人员创建了一个名为“预览现实(Previewed Reality)”的近未来感知系统,该系统允许人类用户预测未来环境的变化,然后为他们的决策提供信息并指导他们的行动。文章介绍了其工作过程以及特点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“If human users could anticipate the movements of robots and the effects these will have on the surrounding environment, they should then be able to easily adapt their actions in order to avoid accidents.(如果人类用户能够预测机器人的运动及其对周围环境的影响,那么他们应该能够轻松地调整自己的行动,以避免事故)”和第三段中“With this in mind, researchers at Kyushu University in Japan recently created a near-future perception system(考虑到这一点,日本九州大学的研究人员最近创建了一个近未来感知系统)”可知,研究人员开发这个系统是为了提高人机交互的安全性。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“a near-future perception system named Previewed Reality that allows human users to forecast future changes in their environment(一个名为Previewed Reality的近未来感知系统,该系统允许人类用户预测未来环境的变化)”以及“This system compiles (编译) a data-set containing information about the position of objects, humans and robots within the same environment, to then produce simulations (模拟) of events that could take place in the near future. These simulations are presented to human users via Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) headsets.(该系统编译了一个数据集,其中包含同一环境中物体、人类和机器人的位置信息,然后生成在不久的将来可能发生的事件的模拟。这些模拟通过虚拟现实(VR)或增强现实(AR)耳机呈现给人类用户)”可知,Previewed Reality的特别之处是它使人类用户能够感知未来的事件。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段内容,尤其是后面三句“The data gathered by the sensors was then fed to a motion planner and a dynamics simulator. Combining these two system components allowed the researchers to forecast changes in a given environment and synthesize (合成) images of events that are likely to occur in the near future, from the viewpoint of a specific human. Human users could then view these synthesized images simply through a VR headset or an AR display.(传感器收集的数据随后被输入运动规划器和动力学模拟器。结合这两个系统组件,研究人员可以预测给定环境中的变化,并从特定人类的角度合成可能在不久的将来发生的事件的图像。然后,人类用户只需通过VR头显或AR显示器即可查看这些合成图像)”可知,本段主要内容是Previewed Reality的工作过程。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In their next studies, they plan to expand and simplify the perception system, for instance by creating a lighter and more affordable version that can operate on smart phones or other portable devices.(在接下来的研究中,他们计划扩展和简化感知系统,例如,通过创造一个更轻、更便宜的版本,可以在智能手机或其他便携式设备上访问)”可知,研究人员未来可能会使系统可在便携式设备上访问。故选C。
D
There are some things money can’t buy. Education, however, does not appear to be among them—at least as measured by performance on international exams. A new study by Harvard University offers strong evidence that the wealth of a country affects exam results just as much as the wealth of a pupil’s household does. On average, pupils in wealthy countries obtain vastly higher test scores than those in developing ones.
Evaluating test scores around the world is harder than it sounds. Although pupils in the rich world mostly take one of a few big international exams, many developing countries rely on regional tests, making apples-to-apples comparisons impossible.
Researchers organized an exam in 2016 for 2,314 children in India, which included both questions from the leading tests and ones taken from smaller exams. Using answers from the same pupils on the same day to questions from different tests, they built a statistical model they called a “Rosetta Stone”. It can translate scores from a range of exams—such as one used only in west Africa—into an equal mark on other common international tests.
They then used these equations(等式)to estimate how pupils in 80 different countries would fare on the benchmark(基准)Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Their data show that the wealth of a student’s country and family have similar impacts on test scores—meaning that big gaps in GDP per person matter more than small ones in household income do. For example, pupils from families that are very poor by rich-world standards—those earning $5,000 a year—are expected to score around 500 out of 1,000 on the TIMSS in America, and 560 in Japan. In contrast, those whose parents make $10,000 a year in an upper-middle income country can only get the equivalent(等价物)of a 475.
The influence of parental earnings is not constant. Rich people tend to educate their children privately in places where wealth is concentrated, such as Brazil. However, in countries with relatively flat income distributions, like Croatia, pupils from different social classes are more likely to attend the same schools. This could reduce the impact of family wealth on test scores.
12. Why is it hard to evaluate the exam scores on a global level?
A. Because the types of exams vary with countries.
B. Because many rich countries refuse regional tests.
C. Because the wealth of a country affects exam results.
D. Because no international exam is available to poor areas.
13. Why did the researchers establish a “Rosetta Stone”?
A. To integrate different exams into a common one.
B. To evaluate different exams with distinct approaches.
C. To fix the standard of the exams in different countries.
D. To turn scores of different exams into an equivalent mark.
14. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Poor students tend to be academically superior to rich ones.
B. Students from rich families will definitely get higher grades.
C. The influence of family income on students is related to circumstances.
D. People with high social status are more likely to educate their children privately.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Education is something money can’t buy.
B. The wealth of a country matters for education.
C. Family income plays an important role in education.
D. A statistical model helps to evaluate the exam scores.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了教育资源对一个学生的成绩有着至关重要的作用。哈佛大学的一项新研究提供了强有力的证据,证明一个国家的富裕程度和学生家庭的富裕程度对考试成绩的影响一样大。平均而言,富裕国家学生的考试成绩远远高于发展中国家学生。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Evaluating test scores around the world is harder than it sounds. Although pupils in the rich world mostly take one of a few big international exams, many developing countries rely on regional tests, making apples-to-apples comparisons impossible.”(评估世界各地的考试成绩比听起来要难得多。尽管富裕国家的学生大多参加少数大型国际考试之一,但许多发展中国家依靠地区考试,这使得同类比较不可能。)可知,富裕国家的学生大多参加少数大型国际考试,而许多发展中国家依靠地区考试。说明不同国家的考试的方式和类型不一,使得从全球范围评估考试成绩变得不可能。选项A与文意相符,故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“It can translate scores from a range of exams—such as one used only in west Africa—into an equal mark on other common international tests.”(它可以将一系列考试的分数——例如仅在西非使用的一种考试——转化为其他常见国际考试的同等分数。)可知,Rosetta Stone可以将一系列考试的分数转化为其他常见国际考试的同等分数。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Their data show that the wealth of a student’s country and family have similar impacts on test scores—meaning that big gaps in GDP per person matter more than small ones in household income do. ”(他们的数据显示,学生所在国家和家庭的富裕程度对考试成绩有相似的影响,这意味着人均GDP的巨大差距比家庭收入的小差距更重要。)最后一段“The influence of parental earnings is not constant. Rich people tend to educate their children privately in places where wealth is concentrated, such as Brazil. However, in countries with relatively flat income distributions, like Croatia, pupils from different social classes are more likely to attend the same schools. This could reduce the impact of family wealth on test scores.”(父母收入的影响不是恒定的。富人倾向于在财富集中的地方,比如巴西,让他们的孩子接受私人教育。然而,在收入分配相对平坦的国家,如克罗地亚,来自不同社会阶层的学生更有可能上同一所学校。这可以减少家庭财富对考试成绩的影响。)可知,富人倾向于在财富集中的地方,让他们的孩子接受私人教育。在收入分配相对平坦的国家,来自不同社会阶层的学生更有可能上同一所学校。可推知,家庭收入的多少对学生的影响和其所在的环境有关系。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合文章第一段中“A new study by Harvard University offers strong evidence that the wealth of a country affects exam results just as much as the wealth of a pupil’s household does. On average, pupils in wealthy countries obtain vastly higher test scores than those in developing ones.”(哈佛大学的一项新研究提供了强有力的证据,证明一个国家的富裕程度和学生家庭的富裕程度对考试成绩的影响一样大。平均而言,富裕国家学生的考试成绩远远高于发展中国家学生。)可知,国家富裕的程度对孩子教育的影响起着至关重要的作用。文章接下来的段落主要通过例证的方式展开论述。选项B符合题意,故选B。

Communicating with Nature
The natural world is amazing. In fact, it is one that you can have a “conversation” with. ____16____Apart from the obvious-that it’s an enjoyable, uplifting thing to do-you may seek to communicate with nature to benefit your mental health, for example.
When you arrive at your chosen spot, sit quietly for a few moments. ____17____Just talk in your head as you would to someone you’re opening a conversation with. “Hey, I’m Nikki. How are you doing today? Do you have time for a chat?” It doesn’t matter what you say, so long as you say it with an open heart, and you make it clear that you’re inviting communication.
____18____A million ways. You may notice a particular animal or insect coming closer to you and communicating energetically. You may notice a rhythm (韵律) or a pattern in the sound of the water or of the wind. Be mindful of what’s going on around you, be part of the natural world——you’ll soon notice so many ways in which your answers may come.
The first few times you attempt this exercise, you probably won’t see, hear or notice anything you choose to interpret as communication. ____19____If you practice this on a regular basis, however, you will start to pick things up. As you become more and more familiar with the oneness of yourself and the world around you, you will sense and understand more about what will occur during your “conversations”.
____20____There should be some benefit to nature, just as there is a benefit to you. When your time is over and you’re ready to leave, say thank you energetically and in your mind, but also say thank you in a practical way. Leave the area in a better state than you found it, for example, by picking up rubbish on your way out.
A. That’s OK. It doesn’t happen overnight.
B. How will you know if nature responds to you?
C. Communication with nature should be a two-way street.
D. And then ask to communicate with the nature around you.
E. How can you start communicating with the natural world?
F. It just depends on what you choose for your “conversation”.
G. You may be wondering why you might want to communicate with nature.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过分析和举例说明了“中国风”现象受到了年轻一代的热烈欢迎。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在年轻人中很受欢迎的在线视频分享平台哔哩哔哩2月3日发布的《2021年传统文化趋势报告》显示,该平台超过1.77亿用户喜欢传统文化视频。句中谓语是were,空格处用非谓语动词,report和release之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填released。
【42题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:在年轻人中很受欢迎的在线视频分享平台哔哩哔哩2月3日发布的《2021年传统文化趋势报告》显示,该平台超过1.77亿用户喜欢传统文化视频。video是可数名词,不止一个,因此空格处用复数videos,故填videos。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:这种认可反映了“中国风”现象近年来受到年轻一代的热烈欢迎。空格处用副词warmly修饰动词embraced,warmly意为“热烈地”,故填warmly。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:“中国风”的特点是花哨的设计与传统文化元素相结合。mix... with为固定短语,表示“与……融合”,因此空格处是介词with,故填with。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这导致越来越多的中国品牌加入这一潮流,并创造了一波中国风。an increasing number of意为“越来越多的”,表故填an。
【46题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:2022年北京冬奥会可以被视为年轻人接受中国风的一个很好的例子。空格处引导的是宾语从句,从句中不缺成分,根据语境可知,句子表示“2022年北京冬奥会可以被视为年轻人是如何接受中国风的一个很好的例子”,空格处意为“如何”,用how引导宾语从句,故填how。
【47题详解】
考查时态。句意:年轻的运动员穿着带有中国元素的运动服,比如龙和熊猫。句子描述过去的事情,时态用一般过去时,空格处用过去式wore,故填wore。
【48题详解】
考查比较级。句意:China Chic用流行文化的语言表达传统文化,让传统文化更贴近年轻人,更容易被年轻人接受。由“more acceptable”可知,空格处用比较级closer,故填closer。
【49题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:年轻人渴望向世界展示自己的个性,他们发现国家身份是区分自己和他人的好方法,而文化是解释为什么年轻人对传统文化充满热情的完美媒介。分析句子可知,空处为宾语,由句意可知,主语young people与宾语为同一人群,所以此处用反身代词themselves作宾语。故填themselves。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:年轻人渴望向世界展示自己的个性,他们发现国家身份是区分自己和他人的好方法,而文化是解释为什么年轻人对传统文化充满热情的完美媒介。分析句子可知,此处用动词不定式作后置定语,修饰前面的名词medium。故填to explain。
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(满分10分)
51. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。
修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:1. 每处错误及修改均仅限一词。
2. 只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。
I believe that mastering a foreign language is important. Therefore, it takes time and practice to become fluent in the foreign language. I think a good approach to learning about a foreign language is studying in a setting where only that language was spoken. This can be done by neither living in a country where the target language is spoken or attended a school where the target language is the primary medium of instruction. When you are involved in it, you are forced to use it constant. You can’t rely on your native language to communicate with other. This type of exposure to a foreign language help you learn the grammar and vocabulary much faster and effectively.
【答案】1. Therefore → However
2. the → a
3. 删掉about
4. was → is
5. neither → either
6. attended → attending
7. constant → constantly
8. other → others
9. help → helps
10. and后加 more
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。作者介绍了如何掌握一门外语。
【详解】1.考查副词。句意:然而,要流利地掌握一门外语需要时间和练习。根据前文“I believe that mastering a foreign language is important. (我认为掌握一门外语很重要。)”可知,掌握一门外语很重要,后文强调掌握一门外语不容易,故前后是转折关系。故将Therefore改为However。
2.考查冠词。句意:然而,要流利地掌握一门外语需要时间和练习。此处表示“一门外语”,是泛指,不是特指,因此用不定冠词,foreign发音是以辅音音素开头,应用a。故将the改为a。
3.考查介词。句意:我认为学习一门外语的一个好方法是在只讲那门语言的环境中学习。learn about表示“了解”,此处表示“学习”,用及物动词learn。故将about删掉。
4.考查谓语的时态。句意:我认为学习一门外语的一个好方法是在只讲那门语言的环境中学习。此处指“语该言被讲的环境”,是一种客观性描述,故用一般现在时。故将was改为is。
5.考查并列连词。句意:这可以通过生活在使用目标语言的国家或就读以目标语言为主要教学媒介的学校来实现。结合语境,此处是指两种方式,用either…or…“或者……或者……”。故将neither改为either。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:这可以通过生活在使用目标语言的国家或就读以目标语言为主要教学媒介的学校来实现。分析句子可知,or后用动名词,与either后的living保持一致,作介词by的宾语。故将attended改为attending。
7.考查副词。句意:当你参与其中时,你被迫使用它。分析句子可知,用副词修饰动词use。故将constant改为constantly。
8.考查代词。句意:你不能依赖你的母语与他人交流。表示“别人,其他人”,是泛指,用代词others;other一般作定语,后跟名词。故将other改为others。
9.考查谓语的主谓一致。句意:这种接触外语的方式可以帮助你更快、更有效地学习语法和词汇。分析句子可知,本句描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时;主语是This type of exposure,是单数,主谓需保持一致,故谓语也用用单数。故将help改为helps。
10.考查副词比较级。句意:这种接触外语的方式可以帮助你更快、更有效地学习语法和词汇。根据并列连词and前much faster可知,effectively也用比较级修饰learn;effectively为多音节单词,其比较级形式是在前面加more。故在and后加more。

Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Andrew,
I have signed up for a voluntary activity themed “Trash Sorting, All Involved” and won’t be able to accompany you to the library this weekend as planned. I feel terribly sorry and want to express my deepest apology.
As you know, we students should spare no efforts in implementing the policy of garbage classification. So, I seized this opportunity without hesitation. On that day, we will go to communities to publicize the significance as well as methods of trash sorting and direct the residents to accurately distinguish different kinds of rubbish, which will take a whole day. Considering that, I’m afraid I can’t keep my word. Shall we put it off till next Sunday?
I am sorry for any inconvenience caused and hope you can accept my heartfelt apology.
Yours,
Li Hua
