Our Story Jim Pugh’s work with well-known blues artists and top selling rock musicians has earned him many Grammy Awards, platinum, and gold records. After 40 years in the music industry, the idea for Little Village came to Pugh after taking a step back and thinking about what meant most to him. Founded in 2015, Little Village is an arts non-profit that uses music as a tool to increase cross cultural understanding. Our day-to-day programming consists of recording and producing underground artists whose music has not yet been discovered outside their community. Through sharing multicultural music with American roots, we work to deepen understanding and promote empathy. Our Artists Little Village artists come from various communities and cultures but all share a common goal of exposing their music to audiences who they would not have otherwise reached. Little Village seeks out these previously undiscovered artists, and provides them with the tools to launch a successful album (专辑), at no cost to the artist. All proceeds from sales of the albums are given back to the artists as a way to promote artist agency and ownership of their work. Recording an artist helps them connect to their community, while providing Little Village with an opportunity to share their music with the world and win the artist acclaim (高度评价).

Recording a new record for well-known musicians. D. Advocating musical diversity and understanding. 2. What can be learned from the text? A. Jim Pugh didn’t work with blues artists. B. Jim Pugh founded Little Village before 2015. C. Little Village has made a lot of money ever since. D. Little Village artists are from different communities. 3. Where is the text probably taken from?

Through sharing multicultural music with American roots, we work to deepen understanding and promote empathy.(我们日常的节目包括录制和制作地下艺术家，他们的音乐尚未被社区外的人发现。通过分享根植于美国的多元文化音乐，我们致力于加深理解和促进同理心。)”可知，Little Village的日常工作是通过录制和制作地下艺术家来分享美国的多元文化音乐，加深其理解和同理心，即宣传多元音乐和音乐的理解，故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Our Artists部分第一段“Little Village artists come from various communities and cultures but all share a common goal of exposing their music to audiences who they would not have otherwise reached.( Little Village的艺术家来自不同的社区和文化，但他们都有着共同的目标，将他们的音乐唱给那些没听过他们唱歌的人)”可知，Little Village的艺术家来自不同的社区，故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“For more information on our artists, click here please.(想要获得我们艺术家更多的信息，请点击此处。)”可知，本篇文章来自网络，且文章主要介绍了Little Village的音乐制作，由此推知文章选自一个音乐网站，故选C。 B It was a beautiful spring day. The Earth was finally awakening from her winter sleep. New life was everywhere. The sky was clear and blue. The air smelled sweet. The sun was kissing the world with its warmth. I was driving to pick my son up from the sheltered workshop. On my drive I saw the flowers opening in people’s yards. The fields were full of yellow dandelions (蒲公英) with some already turning into little white balls of seeds. The trees were starting to awaken too. The flowers on them were white, purple, and pink. The songs of the birds were in the air as well. I was feeling the love from the creation all around me. I longed to be a part of it and share my love as well. I pulled into the driveway of the sheltered workshop and parked my car. As I got out, I saw a lost little caterpillar (毛虫) crawling the wrong way towards the sidewalk. He was just about to go under my tire (轮胎) when I reached down and picked him up. I held him gently in my hand and walked over to the grassy hillside on the other side of the parking lot. I sat him down and said, “You will never become a butterfly if you get run over, my friend. Please stay in the grass.” Then I walked off with a smile on my face and a happiness filling my heart. A friend once wrote me and asked what he could do to make a difference in this world. I wrote him back and said, “Everything!” Everything we do makes a difference in this world. Everything we do can help all the creation in the world. Every act of kindness, every shared smile, every moment of love makes a difference. Even saving a single butterfly is priceless. 4. What can we infer about the author? A. He preferred winter to spring. B. He saw people planting flowers in the yards. C. He went to the workshop together with his son. D.

I sat him down and said, “You will never become a butterfly if you get run over, my friend.

Everything we do can help all the creation in the world. Every act of kindness, every shared smile, every moment of love makes a difference.

Weather and conditions can be unpredictable, so give yourself extra days either side of your booked tour and pack your spirit of luck. On the Arctic ice floe (浮冰) edge in Canada’s furthest and iciest northern reaches, you’ll find the most magical creatures on earth bathing in the 24-hour sun. But to get to Eclipse Sound you’ll need some courage and a guided tour. With Arctic Kingdom, which flies you out from Ottawa, you’ll stay in a tented safari (观兽旅行) camp and ride snowmobiles with Inuit guides to search for tusked narwhales feeding at the floe edge. There’s also a chance you’ll spot polar bears, beluga (白鲸) and bowhead whales while you watch for thousands of migratory (迁徙的) Arctic birds. Ever seen polar bears playing in a field of wildflowers? In Canada, take the most surprising safaris on earth into landscapes that seem out of this world. Churchill in Manitoba is a wildlife supercentre, with most of the activity increasing in the summer months. Pods of beluga whales, famous for their cute faces and friendly nature, swim through the Churchill River in July and August, and you can kayak (划皮船) or paddleboard (划冲浪板) out to them with Sea North Tours (you can go out by boat if it is more in your comfort zone or you’ve got young children with you). On a Churchill Wild summer safari, you’ll stay in remote country houses where you can sometimes see buttery white bears ambling past the windows. But you’ll also go out on walking and ATV adventures to spot them in the wild. If photography and ecology is your thing, Frontiers North runs day trips aboard a Tundra Buggy to explore the diverse lands and plants and kids will love the ride. 8. What do we know about Canada from the first paragraph? A. People can see the sun for 24 hours in Canada’s furthest and iciest north. B. The most magical creatures can be found everywhere in Canada. C. Travellers can always find polar bears there. D. Weather in Canada can be easily predicted. 9. What makes white beluga whales well-known? A. Their skills at swimming fast. B.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了前往加拿大北极地区旅游的体验和活动。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“On the Arctic ice floe (浮冰) edge in Canada’s furthest and iciest northern reaches, you’ll find the most magical creatures on earth bathing in the 24-hour sun. (在加拿大最遥远、最寒冷的北部地区的北极浮冰边缘，你会发现地球上最神奇的生物在24小时的阳光下沐浴)”可知，在加拿大最偏远和最寒冷的北部地区，人们可以24小时看到太阳。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Pods of beluga whales, famous for their cute faces and friendly nature, swim through the Churchill River in July and August, and you can kayak (划皮船) or paddleboard (划冲浪板) out to them with Sea North Tours (you can go out by boat if it is more in your comfort zone or you’ve got young children with you). (以可爱的面孔和友好的天性而闻名的白鲸群，在七月和八月游过丘吉尔河，你可以和Sea North Tours一起划皮船或划冲浪板前往观看（如果你更舒适坐船，或者你有小孩同行，也可以选择坐船）)”可知，白鲸因其可爱的面孔和友好的天性而闻名。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段中“On a Churchill Wild summer safari, you’ll stay in remote country houses where you can sometimes see buttery white bears ambling past the windows. But you’ll also go out on walking and ATV adventures to spot them in the wild. (在丘吉尔野生夏季观兽之旅中，你将住在偏远的乡村房子里，有时可以看到白色的北极熊慢悠悠地从窗户前走过。此外，你还会外出进行步行和全地形车冒险，以在野外发现它们)”可知，them指代的是前文提到的白熊。A. Beluga whales白鲸；B. Bowhead whales弓头鲸；C. White bears白熊；D.

Some of the gas-powered cars are so noisy, or even “thundering”. But interest worldwide in electric cars brings up this question: Can a muscle car go electric? Car fans who loved the classic, powerful cars that used a lot of fuel are called “gearheads”. While the new battery-powered cars go fast and are easier to control than cars with big engines, they do not make much noise. Will “gearheads” someday become “battery-heads”? Stellantis, a carmaker, hopes so. The company will stop making gas-powered versions of the Challenger and Charger (车名) by the end of 2023. Many European automakers already have electric versions of their high-performance cars. Governments around the world are now requiring cars to create less pollution, and so is America. As a result, plenty of carmakers are starting to centre their production on electric cars. Tim Kuniskis leads the Dodge division for Stellantis. “It’s tough,” he said when discussing the idea that governments are considering financial punishments for companies that do not meet new requirements to reduce fuel use. Sam Abuelsamid, a researcher for Guidehouse Insights, said some carmakers will keep making models with traditional engines for about 10 years. Dodge is working to improve its cars’ use of fuel but also keep the gearheads interested. A recent demonstration by Dodge showed off such a can that made a noise just like a muscle car even if they are using batteries. Kuniskis, however, is a critic of his own company’s new electric Charger. “It doesn’t have the emotion,” he said, speaking of the electric cars. “It doesn’t have the drama. It doesn’t have the dangerous feeling of an engine.” But he did say that it would be the fastest ever. Times are changing. Businesses are starting to think about how to put electric driving systems into the “classic” cars. As he put it, “this isn’t about my generation, and the future is not the end of the muscle car.” 12. What made American muscle cars acquire the name? A. Their looks like powerful muscles. B. Their high speed and strong engines. C. Their big size and attractive appearance. D. Their thundering noise and lasting power. 13. What are Paragraphs 3~4 mainly about? A. The future of high-performance electric cars. B. The regulations of governments on pollution. C. The change from gas-powered cars to electric ones. D. The successful experience of Stellantis on electric cars. 14. What’s the attitude of Kuniskis towards the new electric cars? A. Satisfied. B. Confident. C. Unclear. D. Unfavorable. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Some Problems the “Muscle Car” Is Facing B. What Will Happen to the American “Muscle Car”? C. How Can We Make Muscle Cars Create Less Pollution? D. Differences Between Battery-Powered Cars and Gas-Powered Cars 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要围绕美国肌肉车是否能变成电动车这一话题进行了讨论，介绍了汽车制造商、研究者以及消费者对这一问题的看法和态度，同时提到了道奇等汽车制造商在改进汽车燃油效率和推出电动车方面的努力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“American muscle cars got their name because of their big, powerful engines and fast speed.(美国肌肉车之所以得名，是因为它们拥有庞大强劲的发动机和极快的速度。)”可知，美国肌肉车得名的原因是它们的高速和强大的发动机。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The company will stop making gas-powered versions of the Challenger and Charger(车名)by the end of 2023. Many European automakers already have electric versions of their high-performance cars. Governments around the world are now requiring cars to create less pollution, and so is America. As a result, plenty of carmakers are starting to centre their production on electric cars.(该公司将在2023年底前停止生产汽油版的挑战者和充电器车型。许多欧洲汽车制造商已经推出了其高性能汽车的电动版。全球各国政府目前都在要求汽车减少污染，美国也不例外。因此，许多汽车制造商开始将生产重心转向电动汽车。)”以及第四段“Tim Kuniskis leads the Dodge division for Stellantis. “It’s tough,” he said when discussing the idea that governments are considering financial punishments for companies that do not meet new requirements to reduce fuel use. Sam Abuelsamid, a researcher for Guidehouse Insights, said some carmakers will keep making models with traditional engines for about 10 years.( Tim Kuniskis负责斯特兰蒂斯旗下的Dodge事业部。在讨论政府正在考虑对未达新减油要求的企业实施经济处罚的想法时，他表示：“这很难。”Guidehouse Insights的研究员Sam Abuelsamid说，一些汽车制造商将继续生产搭载传统发动机的车型，大约持续10年。)”可知，这两段主要讲述了从汽油动力汽车到电动汽车的转变，以及汽车制造商和政府对此的态度。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Kuniskis, however, is a critic of his own company’s new electric Charger. “It doesn’t have the emotion,” he said, speaking of the electric cars. “It doesn’t have the drama. It doesn’t have the dangerous feeling of an engine.” But he did say that it would be the fastest ever. Times are changing. Businesses are starting to think about how to put electric driving systems into the “classic” cars.(然而，Kuniskis却对自家公司新推出的电动充电器车型持批评态度。“它没有那种激情，”他在谈到电动汽车时说，“它没有那种戏剧性。它也没有发动机带来的那种危险感。”但他也表示，这将是速度最快的车型。时代在变。企业开始思考如何将电动驱动系统融入“经典”汽车。)”可知，Kuniskis对于新电动汽车持反对的态度。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“American muscle cars got their name because of their big, powerful engines and fast speed. Some of the gas-powered cars are so noisy, or even “thundering”. But interest worldwide in electric cars brings up this question: Can a muscle car go electric?(美国肌肉车之所以得名，是因为它们拥有庞大强劲的发动机和极快的速度。其中一些汽油动力汽车噪音极大，甚至“轰鸣作响”。但随着全球对电动汽车的兴趣日益浓厚，一个问题也随之浮现：肌肉车能变成电动车吗？)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕美国肌肉车是否能变成电动车进行了讨论，介绍了汽车制造商、研究者以及消费者对这一问题的看法和态度，同时提到了道奇等汽车制造商在改进汽车燃油效率和推出电动车方面的努力。所以，题目B“What Will Happen to the American “Muscle Car”?”最符合文章的主旨，能够概括文章的主要内容和讨论的话题。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Jessica Nabongo longs to set foot in every nation.

Did you ever experience any obstacles (阻碍)? I don’t believe in failure. ____18____ Embarrassment isn’t a natural human personality, in my eyes — it comes from socialization. If I fell over in the middle of Grand Central Station, I’d laugh at myself.

I appreciate it because when you travel, depending on your passport, depending on your social class, depending on so many different things, you can go to places with a lot of ego (自我), or you can humble yourself and know that everyone is equal. What are some things people can do to travel more sustainably (可持续地)? Single-use plastic is one of the biggest things harming Earth right now, so a lot of my focus is on that. ____20____ If you’re in a restaurant and you don’t have a big appetite, ask for a half portion. It’s about being a deliberate (慎重的) traveler, just taking that extra minute to think how I can have a lower impact on this place that I’m in and on the planet in general. A. But it’s not just about the country count. B. I believe failure is the mother of success. C. Curiosity — that’s what’s always inspired me. D. What did you depend on during your travel? E.

E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Jessica Nabongo游历了195个国家，分享了一些她的旅行经历和和建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Jessica Nabongo longs to set foot in every nation. She started traveling at age four, along with her parents on family trips from Detroit, Michigan and completed her mission when she landed in the Seychelles, having visited 195 countries. (杰西卡·纳邦戈渴望踏足每一个国家。她从四岁开始旅行，和父母一起从密歇根州的底特律开始家庭旅行，当她降落在塞舌尔时完成了她的使命，游历了195个国家)”以及后文“Along the way, she became a writer, photographer, and passionate advocate for inclusive and ethical tourism. (一路走来，她成为了一名作家、摄影师，以及包容和道德旅游的热情倡导者)”可知，上文提到了游历了195个国家“195 countries”，可对应到A选项中country。故A选项“但这不仅仅是国家数量的问题”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据标题“What inspires your adventures?(是什么激发了你的冒险？)”以及后文“I have a strong desire to see the differences and similarities in how people live everywhere in the world, even at home in the United States.(我有一种强烈的愿望，想看看世界各地人们生活方式的异同，即使是在美国的家里)”可知，是好奇心一直激励着她。故C选项“好奇心——这一直激励着我”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Embarrassment isn’t a natural human personality, in my eyes — it comes from socialization. (在我看来，尴尬不是人类天生的性格——它来自于社会化)”可知，后文提到她认为尴尬来自社会化，说明她不会感到尴尬。故F选项“即使在尴尬的情况下，我也很少感到尴尬”符合语境，故选F。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“My mother has always said “humble (使谦逊) yourself”. I appreciate it because when you travel, depending on your passport, depending on your social class, depending on so many different things, you can go to places with a lot of ego (自我), or you can humble yourself and know that everyone is equal. (我妈妈总是说“要谦虚”。我很感激，因为当你旅行的时候，取决于你的护照，取决于你的社会阶层，取决于很多不同的事情，你可以去很多自我的地方，或者你可以谦卑自己，知道每个人都是平等的)”可知，本段主要解释了她妈妈给她的建议给她带来的影响。故E选项“你收到过的最好的建议是什么？”符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Single-use plastic is one of the biggest things harming Earth right now, so a lot of my focus is on that. (一次性塑料是目前对地球危害最大的东西之一，所以我的很多注意力都集中在这个问题上)”以及后文“If you’re in a restaurant and you don’t have a big appetite, ask for a half portion. It’s about being a deliberate (慎重的) traveler, just taking that extra minute to think how I can have a lower impact on this place that I’m in and on the planet in general. (如果你在餐馆里，胃口又不大，那就点半份。这是关于做一个深思熟虑的旅行者，只是多花一分钟思考如何对我所在的地方和整个地球产生更小的影响)”可知，后文给出了吃饭点餐避免浪费的建议，可知本句与上文构成转折，指出她认为重要的方面。故G选项“但我也认为重要的是要注意你浪费了多少”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was a jam-packed day for young Justin.

The moment he arrived at a small town lying along a clear and sweet river, a feeling of ease and comfort embraced him. The peaceful night fell, appealing to the young musician. He was casually (随便地) out walking and passing a cottage with the door open, when he heard someone inside playing the piano. Though it didn’t go smoothly, he was sure that it was just one of his compositions. The musician stopped to listen but the music stopped too. He got closer and overheard a conversation going—“It is too difficult! I can never play it well by myself! I’ve only heard someone else play it several times. It’s far from enough. How I wish I would gain a chance to attend a concert! What if it is played by the musician himself?”—a girl murmured (低语) and sighed. A man continued, “I can’t agree more, but we can’t afford to attend a concert. We are so poor.” “Sorry, Brother,” explained the girl, “Please let it go. I didn’t mean to. I was just kidding.” Though she tried to keep a calm tone, both the brother and the young musician could tell how much she wished to hear a real musician play it properly. The young musician pushed the door and got into the house. With a single candle, a man was making shoes while a young lady was sitting at the piano. Nothing inviting was in sight except the old piano. What was unexpected was that the beautiful young lady was blind. The brother was too astonished to pronounce a word. Kind but embarrassed, he smiled at the stranger. The musician smiled and nodded, approaching the piano slowly. Nervous and frightened, the brother dropped the shoe he was working on, jumped to his feet and rushed to protect his sister. “What are you doing? Keep off my sister!” The young lady was alarmed at the noise. She got off the piano, with head hanging and shoulders shaking. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Not until then did the young musician realize he was misunderstood. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He played so well that all of them were soaked (沉浸) in beautiful music. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Not until then did the young musician realized he was misunderstood. He held back his feet and explained politely, “I am a tourist here and I happen to play the piano well. I am familiar with what the young lady was playing just now. Would you mind me playing for you?” Although they didn’t know who the stranger was, they were glad to listen to him play for them. He sat down and began to play. With the music going, the sister and the brother got relaxed and began to enjoy it. He played so well that all of them were soaked (沉浸) in beautiful music. Even when the lone candle in the room went out and the moon sent its lovely beams shining into the room, he still played! When he left, it was deep night. He was so inspired by the appreciation of his music by the young lady and the beauty of the atmosphere in and outside the room. Never had the poor sister and brother had such a splendid night. It was music that brought happiness to them all! 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一位年轻的音乐家正在世界各地巡演，当他来到一个小镇时，经过一间开着门的小屋，听到里面有人在弹钢琴，是他的作品，但弹得并不好。弹钢琴的女孩希望听到一位真正的音乐家演奏这首曲子，音乐家推门而入，惊讶地发现原来女孩失明了，女孩和她的兄弟也因为音乐家的到来感到震惊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“直到那时，这位年轻的音乐家才意识到自己被误解了。”可知，第一段可描写音乐家的解释及他的演奏。 ②由第二段首句内容“他演奏得很好，他们都沉浸在美妙的音乐中。”可知，第二段可描写兄妹二人享受音乐及音乐家的感悟。 2.续写线索：音乐家的解释——开始演奏——兄妹二人享受音乐——演奏结束——音乐家离开——音乐家的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①熟悉：be familiar with/familiarize ②开始做某事：begin to do sth./start to do sth. ③欣赏：enjoy/admire 情绪类 ①高兴的：glad/happy ②快乐：happiness/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Our Story Jim Pugh’s work with well-known blues artists and top selling rock musicians has earned him many Grammy Awards, platinum, and gold records. After 40 years in the music industry, the idea for Little Village came to Pugh after taking a step back and thinking about what meant most to him. Founded in 2015, Little Village is an arts non-profit that uses music as a tool to increase cross cultural understanding. Our day-to-day programming consists of recording and producing underground artists whose music has not yet been discovered outside their community. Through sharing multicultural music with American roots, we work to deepen understanding and promote empathy. Our Artists Little Village artists come from various communities and cultures but all share a common goal of exposing their music to audiences who they would not have otherwise reached. Little Village seeks out these previously undiscovered artists, and provides them with the tools to launch a successful album (专辑), at no cost to the artist. All proceeds from sales of the albums are given back to the artists as a way to promote artist agency and ownership of their work. Recording an artist helps them connect to their community, while providing Little Village with an opportunity to share their music with the world and win the artist acclaim (高度评价). For more information on our artists, click here please. 1. What is the focus of Little Village’s daily work? A. Promoting and supporting popular music. B. Recommending mainstream American music. C. Recording a new record for well-known musicians. D. Advocating musical diversity and understanding. 2. What can be learned from the text? A. Jim Pugh didn’t work with blues artists. B. Jim Pugh founded Little Village before 2015. C. Little Village has made a lot of money ever since. D. Little Village artists are from different communities. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A research report. B. A historical magazine. C. A music website. D. A job advertisement. B It was a beautiful spring day. The Earth was finally awakening from her winter sleep. New life was everywhere. The sky was clear and blue. The air smelled sweet. The sun was kissing the world with its warmth. I was driving to pick my son up from the sheltered workshop. On my drive I saw the flowers opening in people’s yards. The fields were full of yellow dandelions (蒲公英) with some already turning into little white balls of seeds. The trees were starting to awaken too. The flowers on them were white, purple, and pink. The songs of the birds were in the air as well. I was feeling the love from the creation all around me. I longed to be a part of it and share my love as well. I pulled into the driveway of the sheltered workshop and parked my car. As I got out, I saw a lost little caterpillar (毛虫) crawling the wrong way towards the sidewalk. He was just about to go under my tire (轮胎) when I reached down and picked him up. I held him gently in my hand and walked over to the grassy hillside on the other side of the parking lot. I sat him down and said, “You will never become a butterfly if you get run over, my friend. Please stay in the grass.” Then I walked off with a smile on my face and a happiness filling my heart. A friend once wrote me and asked what he could do to make a difference in this world. I wrote him back and said, “Everything!” Everything we do makes a difference in this world. Everything we do can help all the creation in the world. Every act of kindness, every shared smile, every moment of love makes a difference. Even saving a single butterfly is priceless. 4. What can we infer about the author? A. He preferred winter to spring. B. He saw people planting flowers in the yards. C. He went to the workshop together with his son. D. He appreciated new life and desired to share his love. 5. What happened to the caterpillar? A. It went the wrong way and was nearly injured by a car. B. It was discovered by the author in the grass. C. It was taken away by the author to his car. D. It would soon become a butterfly. 6. Which word can best describe the author? A. Caring. B. Calm. C. Confident. D. Indifferent. 7. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Explain his views on nature. B. Give some advice to his friend. C. Show his opinion on making a difference. D. Stress the importance of saving a caterpillar. C When you travel to the Arctic, the Arctic is in charge. Weather and conditions can be unpredictable, so give yourself extra days either side of your booked tour and pack your spirit of luck. On the Arctic ice floe (浮冰) edge in Canada’s furthest and iciest northern reaches, you’ll find the most magical creatures on earth bathing in the 24-hour sun. But to get to Eclipse Sound you’ll need some courage and a guided tour. With Arctic Kingdom, which flies you out from Ottawa, you’ll stay in a tented safari (观兽旅行) camp and ride snowmobiles with Inuit guides to search for tusked narwhales feeding at the floe edge. There’s also a chance you’ll spot polar bears, beluga (白鲸) and bowhead whales while you watch for thousands of migratory (迁徙的) Arctic birds. Ever seen polar bears playing in a field of wildflowers? In Canada, take the most surprising safaris on earth into landscapes that seem out of this world. Churchill in Manitoba is a wildlife supercentre, with most of the activity increasing in the summer months. Pods of beluga whales, famous for their cute faces and friendly nature, swim through the Churchill River in July and August, and you can kayak (划皮船) or paddleboard (划冲浪板) out to them with Sea North Tours (you can go out by boat if it is more in your comfort zone or you’ve got young children with you). On a Churchill Wild summer safari, you’ll stay in remote country houses where you can sometimes see buttery white bears ambling past the windows. But you’ll also go out on walking and ATV adventures to spot them in the wild. If photography and ecology is your thing, Frontiers North runs day trips aboard a Tundra Buggy to explore the diverse lands and plants and kids will love the ride. 8.

Some of the gas-powered cars are so noisy, or even “thundering”. But interest worldwide in electric cars brings up this question: Can a muscle car go electric? Car fans who loved the classic, powerful cars that used a lot of fuel are called “gearheads”. While the new battery-powered cars go fast and are easier to control than cars with big engines, they do not make much noise. Will “gearheads” someday become “battery-heads”? Stellantis, a carmaker, hopes so. The company will stop making gas-powered versions of the Challenger and Charger (车名) by the end of 2023. Many European automakers already have electric versions of their high-performance cars. Governments around the world are now requiring cars to create less pollution, and so is America. As a result, plenty of carmakers are starting to centre their production on electric cars. Tim Kuniskis leads the Dodge division for Stellantis. “It’s tough,” he said when discussing the idea that governments are considering financial punishments for companies that do not meet new requirements to reduce fuel use. Sam Abuelsamid, a researcher for Guidehouse Insights, said some carmakers will keep making models with traditional engines for about 10 years. Dodge is working to improve its cars’ use of fuel but also keep the gearheads interested. A recent demonstration by Dodge showed off such a can that made a noise just like a muscle car even if they are using batteries. Kuniskis, however, is a critic of his own company’s new electric Charger. “It doesn’t have the emotion,” he said, speaking of the electric cars. “It doesn’t have the drama. It doesn’t have the dangerous feeling of an engine.” But he did say that it would be the fastest ever. Times are changing. Businesses are starting to think about how to put electric driving systems into the “classic” cars. As he put it, “this isn’t about my generation, and the future is not the end of the muscle car.” 12. What made American muscle cars acquire the name? A. Their looks like powerful muscles. B. Their high speed and strong engines. C. Their big size and attractive appearance. D. Their thundering noise and lasting power. 13. What are Paragraphs 3~4 mainly about? A. The future of high-performance electric cars. B. The regulations of governments on pollution. C. The change from gas-powered cars to electric ones. D. The successful experience of Stellantis on electric cars. 14. What’s the attitude of Kuniskis towards the new electric cars? A. Satisfied. B. Confident. C. Unclear. D. Unfavorable. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Some Problems the “Muscle Car” Is Facing B. What Will Happen to the American “Muscle Car”? C. How Can We Make Muscle Cars Create Less Pollution? D. Differences Between Battery-Powered Cars and Gas-Powered Cars 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Jessica Nabongo longs to set foot in every nation.

The moment he arrived at a small town lying along a clear and sweet river, a feeling of ease and comfort embraced him. The peaceful night fell, appealing to the young musician. He was casually (随便地) out walking and passing a cottage with the door open, when he heard someone inside playing the piano. Though it didn’t go smoothly, he was sure that it was just one of his compositions. The musician stopped to listen, but the music stopped too. He got closer and overheard a conversation going—“It is too difficult! I can never play it well by myself! I’ve only heard someone else play it several times. It’s far from enough. How I wish I would gain a chance to attend a concert! What if it is played by the musician himself?”—a girl murmured (低语) and sighed. A man continued, “I can’t agree more, but we can’t afford to attend a concert. We are so poor.” “Sorry, Brother,” explained the girl, “Please let it go. I didn’t mean to. I was just kidding.” Though she tried to keep a calm tone, both the brother and the young musician could tell how much she wished to hear a real musician play it properly. The young musician pushed the door and got into the house. With a single candle, a man was making shoes while a young lady was sitting at the piano. Nothing inviting was in sight except the old piano. What was unexpected was that the beautiful young lady was blind. The brother was too astonished to pronounce a word. Kind but embarrassed, he smiled at the stranger. The musician smiled and nodded, approaching the piano slowly. Nervous and frightened, the brother dropped the shoe he was working on, jumped to his feet and rushed to protect his sister. “What are you doing? Keep off my sister!” The young lady was alarmed at the noise. She got off the piano, with head hanging and shoulders shaking. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Not until then did the young musician realize he was misunderstood. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He played so well that all of them were soaked (沉浸) in beautiful music. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
