They’re wedding planners, so there’s a wedding in every episode. However, marriage is a sticky and messy subject in India and elsewhere. So they explore everything that is wrong with the society through the lens (镜头) of these carefully organized weddings. Married by Mistake It’s a movie starring Chloe Bennet. She graduates from business school, goes to Vegas, and marries one of her classmates — and the classmate runs a big supermarket. She ends up getting hired to make the supermarket chain more progressive. The movie is very light and airy and the acting is wonderful. Gran Turismo Kids love it. The audience is full of games who are clearly rooting so hard for Jann — the main character has this life- transforming opportunity to become a real racecar driver. The most interesting thing is a tiny lesson that teaches us not to be pessimistic. To remain cool, calm and collected before big races, Jann would listen to Kenny G’s music. The Speed podcast 50 MPH This is a podcast (播客) called 50 MPH which is a planned 50- part podcast about the making of Speed, a 1994 American action film directed by Jan de Bont. Do 50 episodes sound like a lot to devote to Speed? Yes! But this podcast, which comes from entertainment journalist Kris Tapley, has interviews from the director, the writer, and some of the actors. (We hope that there will be a Keanu Reeves opportunity. ) If you love Speed, there are a ton of attractive details in the podcast. 1. Who stars in Married by Mistake? A. Kenny G. B. Jan de Bont. C. Chloe Bennet. D. Keanu Reeves. 2. Which of the following tells about a racecar driver? A. Speed. B. Gran Turismo. C. Made In Heaven. D. Married by Mistake. 3. What kind of film is Speed? A. Musical. B. Fantasy. C. Comedy. D. Action. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几部适合在周末观看的影视作品。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Married by Mistake一节“It’s a movie starring Chloe Bennet.(这是一部由Chloe Bennet主演的电影)”可知，Chloe Bennet是 Married by Mistake 的主演。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Gran Turismo一节“The audience is full of games who are clearly rooting so hard for Jann — the main character has this life-transforming opportunity to become a real racecar driver.(观众充满了游戏，他们显然是如此努力地支持詹-主角有这个改变生活的机会，成为一名真正的赛车手)”可知，Gran Turismo讲述了一个赛车手的故事。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Speed podcast 50 MPH一节中“This is a podcast (播客) called 50 MPH which is a planned 50-part podcast about the making of Speed, a 1994 American action film directed by Jan de Bont.(这是一个名为50 MPH的播客，是一个计划中的50部分播客，关于1994年由Jan de Bont执导的美国动作电影Speed的制作)”可知，Speed 是一部动作电影。故选D。 B Though Marley has loved soccer for as long as she can remember, her involvement in the game didn’t extend beyond kickabouts with her father and brothers. But that all changed in 2014 when one day her son came home from school and handed her a flier (传单), saying that his soccer coach had asked him to deliver it to her. “I’m reading it... like ‘Wait, Jamaica has a women’s football team? Where did this come from?’” she said. Six years earlier, in 2008, underfunding had led to the Jamaican Football Federation (JFF) disbanding the women’s national team program. The flier Marley’s son brought home was a fundraising request from the JFF to help restart the program. Marley got to work almost immediately, calling the JFF the following morning to ask what it needed. “The needs were many,” Marley said, repeating the sentence as if to stress how dire the situation was. From travel and nutrition to accommodation and training camps, every area of the national team’s setup was in need of funding. A skilled musician and multiple Grammy award-winning artist, Marley put her considerable musical talents to work. “My family came together with me. We recorded a song Strike Hard to raise funds,” she said. Her efforts—and the work of countless others who were equally as committed to the cause—paid off as the women’s national team became the first Caribbean country to qualify for the Women’s World Cup. Marley’s work has helped not only improve standards and conditions for players, but also shift the country’s attitude towards the women’s national team. “These girls have been told for a long time that women in sports, especially football in Jamaica, really weren’t that important,” Marley said. “Nobody wants to give us brand deals because it’s the female team. It’s so good now to see how all of that has changed dramatically, not just for our women, but around the world... and that makes me excited.” 4 How did Marley probably feel while reading the flier? A. Astonished. B. Disappointed. C. Grateful. D. Regretful. 5. Why did the women’s national team of Jamaica stop operating in 2008? A. Its coaches left the team. B. Its players were unskilled. C. It failed the football fans. D. It lacked sufficient funds. 6. What does the underlined word “dire” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Amazing. B. Terrible. C. Fresh. D. Stable. 7. Which can best describe the impact of Marley’s efforts? A Short-lived. B. Negative. C. Far-reaching. D. Unidentifiable. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。牙买加知名音乐人Marley自小热爱足球，偶然得知牙买加足联急需资金重建国家女子足球队时，她毅然伸出援手。该队不负众望，成为加勒比海地区第一个获得女子世界杯参赛资格的国家队。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“‘I’m reading it... like ‘Wait, Jamaica has a women’s football team? Where did this come from?’ she said,(“我在读……就像‘等等，牙买加有一支女子足球队？这是从哪里来的？’”她说，)”可推断，Marley在阅读这份传单时可能感到很惊讶。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Six years earlier, in 2008, underfunding had led to the Jamaican Football Federation (JFF) disbanding the women’s national team program. (六年前的2008年，资金不足导致牙买加足球联合会（JFF）解散了女子国家队项目。)”可知，2008年牙买加国家女子足球队因资金不足被迫解散。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线句子“‘The needs were many,’ Marley said, repeating the sentence as if to stress how dire the situation was. (马利说，‘需求很多。’他重复着这句话，似乎是在强调形势有多 。)”及画线词后“From travel and nutrition to accommodation and training camps, every area of the national team’s setup was in need of funding.(从旅行和营养到住宿和训练营，国家队的每个领域都需要资金。)”可推断，马利似乎是在强调形势很糟糕。多画线词dire应表示“很严峻，很糟糕”的意思。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Marley’s work has helped not only improve standards and conditions for players, but also shift the country’s attitude towards the women’s national team.(马利的工作不仅帮助提高了球员的标准和条件，还改变了国家对女子国家队的态度。)”可推断，Marley为国家女子足球队所做的努力影响深远（far-reaching）。故选C项。 C A sandstone slab (石板) and other stone tools unearthed in Vietnam give insight into how curry (咖喱) was made and reveal that curry was eaten in the region at least 2,000 years ago. The sandstone slab, buried 2 meters below the surface, was dug up in 2018 at Oc Eo in southern Vietnam. The site was once an overseas trading center of an ancient Southeast Asian kingdom known as Funan, according to a new study. “Preparing curry involves not only a diverse range of seasoning but also the use of grinding (研磨) tools, considerable time, and human effort,” said study author Dr. Hsiao-chun Hung. “Remarkably, even individuals residing outside of India nearly 2,000 years ago expressed a strong desire to enjoy the flavors of curry, as evidenced by their careful preparations.” Hung and a team of researchers analyzed microscopic remains known as starch grains—tiny structures found within plant cells that can be preserved over long periods—that they found on the grinding tools. “Nowadays, preparing curry in Vietnam has become much simpler for most families due to the widespread availability of bagged curry in supermarkets. However, it is interesting to note that the curry recipe used today has not varied significantly from the ancient times,” said study co-author Dr. Khanh Trung Kien Nguyen. Nguyen added that the team planned to recreate the 2,000-year-old curry based on the microscopic remains found at the site. People were likely enjoying curry in India about 4,000 years ago. Some of the components recovered at Oc Eo are similar to those found in Indian curries, while other components are more distinctively Southeast Asian. The new study concluded that curry recipes arrived in Southeast Asia with South Asian traders as contact between the regions increased during the early centuries of the first millennium. 8. What is the sandstone slab used to do according to the text? A. Store grains. B. Carve tools. C. Make curry. D. Keep time. 9. What did Dr. Hsiao-chun Hung think of preparing curry in the past? A. It was a complex process. B. It differed from one another. C. It demanded little effort. D. It was environment-friendly. 10. What can we infer about the ancient curry recipes? A. They restricted regional trade. B. They were mainly consumed in Vietnam. C They linked various cultures. D. They were first favored by Southeast Asians. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The unknown stories of a historical site. B. The findings of unearthed stone tools. C. An introduction to a cooking course. D. An unforgettable family experience. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了2018年考古人员在越南Oc Eo发掘出一块加工咖喱的石板及其他石器，该遗址曾经是一个被称为扶南的古代东南亚王国的海外贸易中心。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A sandstone slab (石板) and other stone tools unearthed in Vietnam give insight into how curry (咖喱) was made and reveal that curry was eaten in the region at least 2,000 years ago.(在越南出土的砂岩板和其他石器让我们了解了咖喱是如何制作的，并揭示了至少2000年前该地区就开始吃咖喱了。)”可知，这块石板是用于加工咖喱的。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“‘Preparing curry involves not only a diverse range of seasoning but also the use of grinding (研磨) tools, considerable time, and human effort,’ said study author Dr. Hsiao chun Hung.(该研究的作者Hsiao chun Hung博士说:“制作咖喱不仅需要各种各样的调味料，还需要使用研磨工具、大量的时间和人力。”)”可知，Hsiao-chun Hung认为制作咖喱是一个繁琐的过程。故填A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some of the components recovered at Oc Eo are similar to those found in Indian curries, while other components are more distinctively Southeast Asian. The new study concluded that curry recipes arrived in Southeast Asia with South Asian traders as contact between the regions increased during the early centuries of the first millennium.(在Oc Eo发现的一些成分与印度咖喱中发现的成分相似，而其他成分则更具东南亚特色。这项新的研究得出结论，在第一个千年的最初几个世纪里，随着南亚地区之间的联系增加，咖喱食谱随着南亚商人来到东南亚。)”可推断，这些古老的咖喱调料曾经沟通着不同的文明。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“The sandstone slab, buried 2 meters below the surface, was dug up in 2018 at Oc Eo in southern Vietnam. The site was once an overseas trading center of an ancient Southeast Asian kingdom known as Funan, according to a new study.(这块砂岩板被埋在地表以下2米，于2018年在越南南部的奥古奥被挖出。根据一项新的研究，该遗址曾经是一个古老的东南亚王国阜南的海外贸易中心。)”可知，本文主要介绍了2018年考古人员在越南Oc Eo发掘出一块加工咖喱的石板及其他石器。经分析，这些石器揭示了2000多年前当地人制作和食用咖喱的秘密。故选B。 D Ocean temperature extremes are now normal, a new study reports. It has analyzed ocean surface temperatures for the past 150 years. It reveals that by 2019, 57 percent of the ocean’s surface was warming to temperatures rarely seen 100 years ago. Ecologists wanted to learn how often modern extreme heat events occur. They also wanted to see how long they last. Kisei Tanaka was one of those ecologists. He now works for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Honolulu, Hawaii. Tanaka teamed up with Kyle Van Houtan, who works at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. The two analyzed monthly sea surface temperatures collected from 1870 through 2019. Then they mapped where and when extreme heat events had shown up, decade by decade. By looking at monthly extremes instead of annual averages, the two found that over time, more and more patches (区域) of water were reaching extreme temperatures. Then, in 2014, the entire ocean hit a point of no return, Van Houtan says. Heat waves harm ocean ecosystems. They can lead seabirds to starve... And animals—from fish and whales to turtles—may have to swim long distances in search of comfortable temperatures. In May 2020, NOAA announced that it was updating what climates it now considered “normal”. These values are what the agency uses to put daily weather events in a historical context. The average values from 1991 to 2020 are now higher than those from 1981 to 2010, NOAA found. Van Houtan says his new study shows extreme ocean warming is now the norm. Much discussion on climate change, he notes, has been about future events, and whether or not they might happen. But what the emerging data make clear, he says, is that extreme heat became common in our ocean in 2014. It’s a documented historical fact—not a future possibility. 12. Why did the ecologists conduct the research? A. To prove what they had forecast. B. To recognize the value of the data. C. To update readers on newfound species. D. To find out the trend of ocean record heat. 13. Where can you find the harmful effect of global ocean warming? A. In paragraph 3. B. In paragraph 4. C. In paragraph 5. D. In paragraph 6. 14. What does Van Houtan want to stress at last? A. People’s lifestyle will be greatly affected. B. It is a must to discuss the climate change. C. Scientists must focus on historical events. D. Ocean heat extremes are the new normal. 15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Nature. B. Travel. C. Business. D. History. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了科研人员通过分析过去150年间的海洋温度资料发现如今海洋温度升高呈现不可逆转的趋势。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Ecologists wanted to learn how often modern extreme heat events occur. They also wanted to see how long they last. (生态学家想要了解现代极端高温事件发生的频率。他们还想看看它们能持续多久。)”可知，生态学家开展此研究是为了探寻海洋温度升高呈现的趋势。故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Heat waves harm ocean ecosystems. They can lead seabirds to starve... And animals—from fish and whales to turtles—may have to swim long distances in search of comfortable temperatures. (热浪危害海洋生态系统。它们能让海鸟饿死……动物——从鱼类、鲸鱼到海龟——可能不得不游很长的距离来寻找舒适的温度。)”可知，本段主要介绍海洋温度升高给海洋生态所带来的危害。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Van Houtan says his new study shows extreme ocean warming is now the norm. Much discussion on climate change, he notes, has been about future events, and whether or not they might happen. But what the emerging data make clear, he says, is that extreme heat became common in our ocean in 2014. ( Van Houtan说，他的新研究表明，海洋极端变暖现在是常态。他指出，关于气候变化的许多讨论都是关于未来的事件，以及它们是否会发生。但他说，新出现的数据清楚地表明，2014年，极端高温在我们的海洋中变得普遍。)”可推断，Van Houtan意在强调如今海洋升温已是一种新常态。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Ocean temperature extremes are now normal, a new study reports. It has analyzed ocean surface temperatures for the past 150 years. (一项新的研究报告称，海洋温度极端现在是正常的。它分析了过去150年的海洋表面温度。)”可知，本文主要介绍科研人员通过分析过去150年间的海洋温度资料发现如今海洋温度升高呈现不可逆转的趋势。故本文可能出自报纸的自然版块。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Photographing fireworks can be challenging, but with the right techniques you can produce some explosive photos.

They’re wedding planners, so there’s a wedding in every episode. However, marriage is a sticky and messy subject in India and elsewhere. So they explore everything that is wrong with the society through the lens (镜头) of these carefully organized weddings. Married by Mistake It’s a movie starring Chloe Bennet. She graduates from business school, goes to Vegas, and marries one of her classmates — and the classmate runs a big supermarket. She ends up getting hired to make the supermarket chain more progressive. The movie is very light and airy and the acting is wonderful. Gran Turismo Kids love it. The audience is full of games who are clearly rooting so hard for Jann — the main character has this life- transforming opportunity to become a real racecar driver. The most interesting thing is a tiny lesson that teaches us not to be pessimistic. To remain cool, calm and collected before big races, Jann would listen to Kenny G’s music. The Speed podcast 50 MPH This is a podcast (播客) called 50 MPH which is a planned 50- part podcast about the making of Speed, a 1994 American action film directed by Jan de Bont. Do 50 episodes sound like a lot to devote to Speed? Yes! But this podcast, which comes from entertainment journalist Kris Tapley, has interviews from the director, the writer, and some of the actors. (We hope that there will be a Keanu Reeves opportunity. ) If you love Speed, there are a ton of attractive details in the podcast. 1. Who stars in Married by Mistake? A. Kenny G. B. Jan de Bont. C. Chloe Bennet. D. Keanu Reeves. 2. Which of the following tells about a racecar driver? A. Speed. B. Gran Turismo. C. Made In Heaven. D. Married by Mistake. 3. What kind of film is Speed? A. Musical. B. Fantasy. C. Comedy. D. Action. B Though Marley has loved soccer for as long as she can remember, her involvement in the game didn’t extend beyond kickabouts with her father and brothers. But that all changed in 2014 when one day her son came home from school and handed her a flier (传单), saying that his soccer coach had asked him to deliver it to her. “I’m reading it... like ‘Wait, Jamaica has a women’s football team? Where did this come from?’” she said. Six years earlier, in 2008, underfunding had led to the Jamaican Football Federation (JFF) disbanding the women’s national team program. The flier Marley’s son brought home was a fundraising request from the JFF to help restart the program. Marley got to work almost immediately, calling the JFF the following morning to ask what it needed. “The needs were many,” Marley said, repeating the sentence as if to stress how dire the situation was. From travel and nutrition to accommodation and training camps, every area of the national team’s setup was in need of funding. A skilled musician and multiple Grammy award-winning artist, Marley put her considerable musical talents to work. “My family came together with me. We recorded a song Strike Hard to raise funds,” she said. Her efforts—and the work of countless others who were equally as committed to the cause—paid off as the women’s national team became the first Caribbean country to qualify for the Women’s World Cup. Marley’s work has helped not only improve standards and conditions for players, but also shift the country’s attitude towards the women’s national team. “These girls have been told for a long time that women in sports, especially football in Jamaica, really weren’t that important,” Marley said. “Nobody wants to give us brand deals because it’s the female team. It’s so good now to see how all of that has changed dramatically, not just for our women, but around the world... and that makes me excited.” 4. How did Marley probably feel while reading the flier? A. Astonished. B. Disappointed. C. Grateful. D. Regretful. 5. Why did the women’s national team of Jamaica stop operating in 2008? A. Its coaches left the team. B. Its players were unskilled. C. It failed the football fans. D. It lacked sufficient funds. 6. What does the underlined word “dire” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Amazing. B. Terrible. C. Fresh. D. Stable. 7. Which can best describe the impact of Marley’s efforts? A. Short-lived. B. Negative. C. Far-reaching. D. Unidentifiable. C A sandstone slab (石板) and other stone tools unearthed in Vietnam give insight into how curry (咖喱) was made and reveal that curry was eaten in the region at least 2,000 years ago. The sandstone slab, buried 2 meters below the surface, was dug up in 2018 at Oc Eo in southern Vietnam. The site was once an overseas trading center of an ancient Southeast Asian kingdom known as Funan, according to a new study. “Preparing curry involves not only a diverse range of seasoning but also the use of grinding (研磨) tools, considerable time, and human effort,” said study author Dr. Hsiao-chun Hung. “Remarkably, even individuals residing outside of India nearly 2,000 years ago expressed a strong desire to enjoy the flavors of curry, as evidenced by their careful preparations.” Hung and a team of researchers analyzed microscopic remains known as starch grains—tiny structures found within plant cells that can be preserved over long periods—that they found on the grinding tools. “Nowadays, preparing curry in Vietnam has become much simpler for most families due to the widespread availability of bagged curry in supermarkets. However, it is interesting to note that the curry recipe used today has not varied significantly from the ancient times,” said study co-author Dr. Khanh Trung Kien Nguyen. Nguyen added that the team planned to recreate the 2,000-year-old curry based on the microscopic remains found at the site. People were likely enjoying curry in India about 4,000 years ago. Some of the components recovered at Oc Eo are similar to those found in Indian curries, while other components are more distinctively Southeast Asian. The new study concluded that curry recipes arrived in Southeast Asia with South Asian traders as contact between the regions increased during the early centuries of the first millennium. 8. What is the sandstone slab used to do according to the text? A. Store grains. B. Carve tools. C. Make curry. D. Keep time. 9. What did Dr. Hsiao-chun Hung think of preparing curry in the past? A. It was a complex process. B. It differed from one another. C. It demanded little effort. D. It was environment-friendly. 10. What can we infer about the ancient curry recipes? A. They restricted regional trade. B. They were mainly consumed in Vietnam. C. They linked various cultures. D. They were first favored by Southeast Asians. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The unknown stories of a historical site. B. The findings of unearthed stone tools. C. An introduction to a cooking course. D. An unforgettable family experience. D Ocean temperature extremes are now normal, a new study reports. It has analyzed ocean surface temperatures for the past 150 years. It reveals that by 2019, 57 percent of the ocean’s surface was warming to temperatures rarely seen 100 years ago. Ecologists wanted to learn how often modern extreme heat events occur. They also wanted to see how long they last. Kisei Tanaka was one of those ecologists. He now works for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Honolulu, Hawaii. Tanaka teamed up with Kyle Van Houtan, who works at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. The two analyzed monthly sea surface temperatures collected from 1870 through 2019. Then they mapped where and when extreme heat events had shown up, decade by decade. By looking at monthly extremes instead of annual averages, the two found that over time, more and more patches (区域) of water were reaching extreme temperatures. Then, in 2014, the entire ocean hit a point of no return, Van Houtan says. Heat waves harm ocean ecosystems. They can lead seabirds to starve... And animals—from fish and whales to turtles—may have to swim long distances in search of comfortable temperatures. In May 2020, NOAA announced that it was updating what climates it now considered “normal”. These values are what the agency uses to put daily weather events in a historical context. The average values from 1991 to 2020 are now higher than those from 1981 to 2010, NOAA found. Van Houtan says his new study shows extreme ocean warming is now the norm. Much discussion on climate change, he notes, has been about future events, and whether or not they might happen. But what the emerging data make clear, he says, is that extreme heat became common in our ocean in 2014. It’s a documented historical fact—not a future possibility. 12 Why did the ecologists conduct the research? A. To prove what they had forecast. B. To recognize the value of the data. C. To update readers on newfound species. D. To find out the trend of ocean record heat. 13. Where can you find the harmful effect of global ocean warming? A. In paragraph 3. B. In paragraph 4. C. In paragraph 5. D. In paragraph 6. 14. What does Van Houtan want to stress at last? A. People’s lifestyle will be greatly affected. B. It is a must to discuss the climate change. C. Scientists must focus on historical events. D. Ocean heat extremes are the new normal. 15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Nature. B. Travel. C. Business. D. History. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Photographing fireworks can be challenging, but with the right techniques you can produce some explosive photos.
