The company surveyed 3,000 people from 27 countries on their “agreeableness” (亲和性) from the popular Big 5 Personality Test in April. People were given a score between 1 and 40, the higher the score, the friendlier the country. Estonia, 32.58 Estonia is ranked as one of the friendliest countries for travelers. Home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and more than 1,000 islands, Estonia has friendly locals who are known to be respectful and polite to foreigners. Belgium, 32.5 As a western European country at only 30,528 square kilometers, Belgium is known for its rich history and various attractions. English is easily spoken there, which makes it easy to meet locals. Belgians are known to be polite and social, so you can feel comfortable asking locals for directions. Germany, 32.66 Some of Europe’s major rivers, like the Rhine and Danube, flow through Germany. Thanks to its central situation, Germany has more neighbors than any other European country. There’s a lot of history and culture to uncover in Germany. Germans aren’t known for engaging in small talk but will help you out if you’re in need. South Africa, 34.63 South Africa is also known as the “Rainbow Nation”. Since the air is fresh and the sunshine is in abundant supply, rainbows often appear after the rain. But the most important reason is its multi-culture, with white, black, yellow, varicolored people contributing to the unique landscape of South Africa. 1. Which of the countries is the friendliest? A. Estonia. B. Belgium. C. Germany. D. South Africa. 2. What do Belgium and Germany have in common? A. Large land areas. B. Bad small talkers. C. The number of neighbors. D. The history worth exploring. 3. What is the main reason why South Africa is called the “Rainbow Nation”? A. Fresh air. B. Rich culture. C. Plenty of sunshine. D. Beautiful landscape. 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了Remitly公司最近公布的新报告中的四个世界上最友好的国家。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“People were given a score between 1 and 40, the higher the score, the friendlier the country. (人们的得分在1到40之间，得分越高，这个国家越友好)”和下面四段每段的小标题“Estonia, 32.58 (爱沙尼亚，32.58分)”、“Belgium, 32.5 (比利时，32.5分)”、“Germany, 32.66 (德国，32.66分)”及“South Africa, 34.63 (南非，34.63分)”可知，这四个国家中南非得分最高，是最友好的国家。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Belgium部分的“As a western European country at only 30,528 square kilometers, Belgium is known for its rich history and various attractions. (作为一个面积只有30528平方公里的西欧国家，比利时以其丰富的历史和各种景点而闻名)”和Germany部分的“There’s a lot of history and culture to uncover in Germany. (德国有很多历史和文化有待发掘)”可知，比利时和德国的共同之处是它们的历史值得探索。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据South Africa部分的“But the most important reason is its multi-culture, with white, black, yellow, varicolored people contributing to the unique landscape of South Africa. (但最重要的原因是它的多元文化，白人、黑人、黄种人和各种肤色的人构成了南非独特的景观)”可知，南非被称为“彩虹之国”的主要原因是其丰富的文化。故选B项。 B Kieng Riven’s eight birthday was fast coming up so his mother asked him what he wanted. She expected the youngster to answer with a list of toys and games. His answer took his mother by surprise and brought her to tears. A child’s birthday is usually spent doing fun activities, eating cakes, opening gifts surrounded (包围) by family and friends. Young Kieng had a different idea of how he wanted to spend his big day. Instead, he wanted to gift his community by handing out a dozen pizzas to homeless people living in a “tent city” in Charlotte, NC. Antiqua, hoping to make good on her son’s birthday request, shopped around neighbourhood pizzas to see which of them could quickly fill a large order of 100 pizzas. She received only one reply to her request. To her shock, one charitable store manager of a local Papa John’s, named Gage Lock not only agreed to accept the order, he also provided a donation of 75 of the pizzas. Gage and his staff (工作人员) also delivered the pizza pies to the “tent city” in order to personally help give away them to the homeless population there. “That made me want to do it so much more, knowing it was a 7-year-old kid, and all he wanted for his birthday was to give back to the community,” replied Gage describing his purpose to join in the unusual birthday pizza party. Another local pizzeria chipped in (捐钱) to help hand out the pizza safely while all wearing masks. Kieng’s friends and family also joined in to help pass out the slices with a side of kindness, making it one very memorable birthday. “It is infectious; it makes you want to be kinder,” said one of the happy receivers of the present of good will. 4. What was Kieng’s idea of spending his birthday? A. Feeding the homeless. B. Living in a tent city. C. Eating cakes and pizzas. D. Doing fun activities with toys. 5. What can be inferred about the local Papa John’s? A. It has a lot of staff. B. It is willing to do charity work. C. It is very popular in the neighbourhood. D. It usually provides service to the homeless. 6. What do Paragraphs 3-4 probably suggest? A. Gage Lock is the owner of two local pizzerias. B. More people were influenced by Kieng’s kindness. C. Gage Lock has a good relationship with the local pizzeria. D. The local pizza of ten donates pizzas to the community. 7. What does the underlined word “infectious” in the last paragraph mean? A. Catching. B. Funny. C. Tasty. D. Creative. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是Kieng Riven八岁生日时，放弃传统庆祝方式，选择为无家可归者提供比萨饼的感人故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Instead, he wanted to gift his community by handing out a dozen pizzas to homeless people living in a “tent city” in Charlotte, NC.(相反，他想给他的社区一份礼物，给住在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特“帐篷城”的无家可归者分发一打披萨)”可知，Kieng生日时想要的只是给无家可归的人提供食物。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To her shock, one charitable store manager of a local Papa John’s, named Gage Lock not only agreed to accept the order, he also provided a donation of 75 of the pizzas. Gage and his staff (工作人员) also delivered the pizza pies to the “tent city” in order to personally help give away them to the homeless population there.(令她震惊的是，当地一家棒约翰的慈善商店经理盖奇·洛克不仅同意接受订单，还捐赠了75个披萨。盖奇和他的员工还把披萨派送到“帐篷城”，以便亲自帮助分发给那里无家可归的人)”可知，Gage Lock作为当地Papa John’s的经理，不仅接受了大量比萨订单，还捐赠了部分比萨并亲自送给无家可归的人。由此推知，这家店愿意从事慈善工作。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“To her shock, one charitable store manager of a local Papa John’s, named Gage Lock not only agreed to accept the order, he also provided a donation of 75 of the pizzas.(令她震惊的是，当地一家棒约翰的慈善商店经理盖奇•洛克不仅同意接受订单，还捐赠了75个披萨)”以及第四段的“Another local pizzeria chipped in (捐钱) to help hand out the pizza safely while all wearing masks. Kieng’s friends and family also joined in to help pass out the slices with a side of kindness, making it one very memorable birthday.(当地的另一家披萨店也帮忙安全分发披萨，所有人都戴着口罩。Kieng的朋友和家人也加入进来，带着善意分发面包片，使它成为一个非常难忘的生日)”可推知，更多的人受到了Kieng的善良的影响。故选B。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“it makes you want to be kinder(它让你想变得更善良)”可知，Kieng Riven在八岁生日时想通过给“帐篷城”的无家可归者分发比萨来回馈社会，他的想法得到母亲支持和各方响应，这个特别的生日令人难忘，其善举具有感染力。故划线词意思是“有感染力的”意义相近。故选A。 C In Suzhou, Jiangsu province, history comes alive in every old building and winding passage, attracting a media buzz (热议) surrounding its success in protecting and taking advantage of its ancient beauty. Tongli Ancient Town, Pingjiang Historic Cultural Street, and No. 32 Lane in Gusu District (区) show Suzhou’s successful protection and use of ancient buildings and historic cultural streets.

The largest of them were hit the hardest — the megaherbivores, weighing over a ton. Fifty thousand years ago, there were 57 kinds of megaherbivores. Today, only 11 remain. These remaining 11 kinds have also seen extreme reductions in their populations, but not to the point of complete extinction. A research group from the Danish Aarhus University now concludes that many of these lost kinds were hunted to extinction by humans. Jens-Christian Svenning, a researcher, says, “Early modern humans were effective hunters of even the largest animals and clearly had the ability to reduce the populations of large animals. These large animals were and are particularly easy to die out because they have long gestation (妊娠) periods and produce very few babies at a time.” The study shows that human hunting of large animals such as mammoths, mastodons, and giant sloths was widespread and continuous across the world. It also shows that the animals went extinct at very different times and at different rates around the world. In some local areas, it happened quite quickly, while in other places it took over 10,000 years. But everywhere, it happened after modern humans arrived, or in Africa’s case, after cultural advancements among humans. The researchers point out that the loss of large animals has had deep ecological (生态的) effects. Large animals play a central role in ecosystems. Their disappearance has resulted in great changes in ecosystem structures and functions. “Our results show the need for active protection and restoration efforts. By reintroducing large mammals, we can help restore ecological balances and support biodiversity, which developed in ecosystems rich in large animals,” says Svenning. 12. How many kinds of megaherbivores are there today? A. 161. B. 57. C. 11. D. 0. 13. What made the large animals easy to be extinct? A. Their long life. B. Their few babies. C. Their slow growth. D. Their special diet. 14. What does the fact that the species went extinct at different times and rates show? A. There were no large animals left in some areas. B. The environment in different areas was the same. C. Human hunting was not the only cause of extinction. D. Large animals could adapt easily to different conditions. 15. What’s Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The importance of large mammals in the food chain. B. The historical process of human hunting large mammals. C. The need to stop human activities to protect large mammals. D. The far-reaching effect of the extinction of large mammals on the ecosystem. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了过去5万年里许多大型哺乳动物因人类猎杀等原因灭绝，其消失带来深远的生态后果，研究强调需积极保护以恢复生态平衡和支持生物多样性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Today, only 11 remain.(如今，只剩下11种)”可知，如今只剩下11种巨型食草动物。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These large animals were and are particularly easy to die out because they have long gestation (妊娠) periods and produce very few babies at a time.(这些大型动物过去和现在都特别容易灭绝，因为它们的妊娠期很长，一次只生产很少的婴儿)”可知，这些大型动物容易灭绝是因为它们的妊娠期长并且一次生育的后代很少。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It also shows that the animals went extinct at very different times and at different rates around the world. In some local areas, it happened quite quickly, while in other places it took over 10,000 years. But everywhere, it happened after modern humans arrived, or in Africa’s case, after cultural advancements among humans.(它还表明，这些动物在世界各地以不同的速度在不同的时间灭绝。在一些地方，它发生得很快，而在其他地方，它花了一万年。但在任何地方，它都发生在现代人类到达之后，或者在非洲，发生在人类文化进步之后)”可知，人类出现后大型动物开始灭绝，可以推断人类狩猎可能不是唯一的灭绝原因。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“The researchers point out that the loss of large animals has had deep ecological (生态的) effects. Large animals play a central role in ecosystems. Their disappearance has resulted in great changes in ecosystem structures and functions.(研究人员指出，大型动物的消失已经产生了深远的生态影响。大型动物在生态系统中扮演着核心角色。它们的消失导致了生态系统结构和功能的巨大变化)”可知，本段重点探讨了大型哺乳动物灭绝对生态系统的深远影响。故选D。 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。 Since children learn many things from watching, you should be very careful when and how you teach them about table manners (礼仪). ____16____, table manners must be part of their daily rules.

The boys in my class often joked about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page. All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town and they decided that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids in the school. I looked down at this tiny girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her. “But how could I help her fit in with us? There had to be a way”, I thought to myself. One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a perfect copy of it. I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming talent show. So, I shared my idea with her and took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker. I showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Wow, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker. She then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough time. Could you help me, Suzy?” “Of course, Miss Parker. I’d love to” said Suzy. I was on the edge of my seat with a strong sense of fulfilment. On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s posters were everywhere—all over the hall and all over the school, each one different. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a special award.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set as an award. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a special award.” The entire audience turned their heads towards the stage with curiosity. As the curtains parted, Suzy Khan appeared, her face flushed with excitement. She held a stack of her beautiful posters in her hands. The crowd erupted in applause as she walked towards the front of the stage. Mr. Brown praised her for her exceptional talent and dedication to the talent show. Suzy beamed with pride, her eyes glistening with tears of joy. Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set as an award. When she accepted the gift, Suzy’s face lit up with a smile that reached her eyes. The boys in the audience, who had once mocked her, now applauded her with genuine admiration. Suzy turned to me with a grateful glance, her eyes shining with gratitude. That moment marked a turning point in her life at school. From then on, she was no longer an outsider; she was a part of our community, a talented and respected artist. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者初次见到苏西·可汗就知道得帮助她。她尽管12岁但身材瘦小，常被班上男生取笑。她是个来自非洲的孤儿，被镇上一家人收养。某天，作者发现苏西能完美临摹书中火车图，便有了让她在才艺展示中大放异彩的想法。作者带她去找美术老师帕克小姐，展示了苏西的画作，帕克小姐非常赞赏并请苏西帮忙绘制才艺表演的海报。才艺展示那天，苏西的海报遍布学校，各不相同。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“‘最后，’校长布朗先生在演出结束时说，‘我们有一个特别奖。’”可知，第一段可以描写苏西接受奖项的情景和心理活动。 ②由第二段句首内容“布朗先生感谢她制作了这么多精美的海报，并送给她一套专业艺术家的作品作为奖励。”可知，第二段可以描写人们对苏西的态度的改变和苏西对作者的感激。 2.续写线索：校长宣布特别奖—苏茜上台—校长赞扬—送给她作品—赞美—感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：appear/show up ②走向：walk towards/go towards ③赞扬：praise/commend 情绪类 ①激动：excitement/thrill ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】As the curtains parted, Suzy Khan appeared, her face flushed with excitement.( 运用了As引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】When she accepted the gift, Suzy’s face lit up with a smile that reached her eyes.

The company surveyed 3,000 people from 27 countries on their “agreeableness” (亲和性) from the popular Big 5 Personality Test in April. People were given a score between 1 and 40, the higher the score, the friendlier the country. Estonia, 32.58 Estonia is ranked as one of the friendliest countries for travelers. Home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and more than 1,000 islands, Estonia has friendly locals who are known to be respectful and polite to foreigners. Belgium, 32.5 As a western European country at only 30,528 square kilometers, Belgium is known for its rich history and various attractions. English is easily spoken there, which makes it easy to meet locals. Belgians are known to be polite and social, so you can feel comfortable asking locals for directions. Germany, 32.66 Some of Europe’s major rivers, like the Rhine and Danube, flow through Germany. Thanks to its central situation, Germany has more neighbors than any other European country. There’s a lot of history and culture to uncover in Germany. Germans aren’t known for engaging in small talk but will help you out if you’re in need. South Africa, 34.63 South Africa is also known as the “Rainbow Nation”. Since the air is fresh and the sunshine is in abundant supply, rainbows often appear after the rain.

B Kieng Riven’s eight birthday was fast coming up so his mother asked him what he wanted. She expected the youngster to answer with a list of toys and games. His answer took his mother by surprise and brought her to tears. A child’s birthday is usually spent doing fun activities eating cakes, opening gifts surrounded (包围) by family and friends. Young Kieng had a different idea of how he wanted to spend his big day. Instead, he wanted to gift his community by handing out a dozen pizzas to homeless people living in a “tent city” in Charlotte, NC. Antiqua, hoping to make good on her son’s birthday request, shopped around neighbourhood pizzas to see which of them could quickly fill a large order of 100 pizzas. She received only one reply to her request. To her shock, one charitable store manager of a local Papa John’s, named Gage Lock not only agreed to accept the order, he also provided a donation of 75 of the pizzas. Gage and his staff (工作人员) also delivered the pizza pies to the “tent city” in order to personally help give away them to the homeless population there. “That made me want to do it so much more, knowing it was a 7-year-old kid, and all he wanted for his birthday was to give back to the community,” replied Gage describing his purpose to join in the unusual birthday pizza party. Another local pizzeria chipped in (捐钱) to help hand out the pizza safely while all wearing masks. Kieng’s friends and family also joined in to help pass out the slices with a side of kindness, making it one very memorable birthday. “It is infectious; it makes you want to be kinder,” said one of the happy receivers of the present of good will. 4. What was Kieng’s idea of spending his birthday? A. Feeding the homeless. B. Living in a tent city. C. Eating cakes and pizzas. D. Doing fun activities with toys. 5. What can be inferred about the local Papa John’s? A. It has a lot of staff. B. It is willing to do charity work. C. It is very popular in the neighbourhood. D. It usually provides service to the homeless. 6. What do Paragraphs 3-4 probably suggest? A. Gage Lock is the owner of two local pizzerias. B More people were influenced by Kieng’s kindness. C. Gage Lock has a good relationship with the local pizzeria. D. The local pizza of ten donates pizzas to the community. 7. What does the underlined word “infectious” in the last paragraph mean? A. Catching. B. Funny. C. Tasty. D. Creative. C In Suzhou, Jiangsu province, history comes alive in every old building and winding passage, attracting a media buzz (热议) surrounding its success in protecting and taking advantage of its ancient beauty. Tongli Ancient Town, Pingjiang Historic Cultural Street, and No. 32 Lane in Gusu District (区) show Suzhou’s successful protection and use of ancient buildings and historic cultural streets. Tongli Ancient Town leads in protecting its cultural heritage by adopting (采用) a “living ancient town” model which brings back buildings to their original appearance and keeps a lively community of 12,000 locals. Pingjiang Historic Cultural Street is another success story, showing full protection efforts. Wang Yongfa, an official from the Gusu district ancient city protection committee, explained that Pingjiang has developed from protecting a single street to safeguarding the whole historic district. “After repairing the cultural buildings, we will make use of them based on their spatial (空间的) characteristics and historical value,” Wang said. “Some cultural buildings are open to the public for free, while others serve as carriers for the development of new humanities and the economy.” Luo Juan, deputy director of policy and regulation department at the National Cultural Heritage Administration praised Suzhou’s important efforts in restoring (恢复) its cultural heritage buildings, attracting social and capital involvement (资本投入) for their renewal and transformation into art spaces and tourist attractions. “Suzhou has set a model for heritage building restoration,” Luo noted. She praised efforts to bring museum artifacts to life in recent years and saw a rise in museum attendance, reaching 1.2 billion last year, matching 2019 levels. During this year’s Spring Festival, visits was over 70 million, more than the same period before. 8. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce the ancient beauty of Suzhou. B.

It needs more social and capital involvement. D. It is very successful and worth learning from. D Over the past 50,000 years, at least 161 kinds of mammals (哺乳动物) were driven to extinction (灭绝) during this period. The largest of them were hit the hardest — the megaherbivores, weighing over a ton. Fifty thousand years ago, there were 57 kinds of megaherbivores. Today, only 11 remain. These remaining 11 kinds have also seen extreme reductions in their populations, but not to the point of complete extinction. A research group from the Danish Aarhus University now concludes that many of these lost kinds were hunted to extinction by humans. Jens-Christian Svenning, a researcher, says, “Early modern humans were effective hunters of even the largest animals and clearly had the ability to reduce the populations of large animals. These large animals were and are particularly easy to die out because they have long gestation (妊娠) periods and produce very few babies at a time.” The study shows that human hunting of large animals such as mammoths, mastodons, and giant sloths was widespread and continuous across the world. It also shows that the animals went extinct at very different times and at different rates around the world. In some local areas, it happened quite quickly, while in other places it took over 10,000 years. But everywhere, it happened after modern humans arrived, or in Africa’s case, after cultural advancements among humans. The researchers point out that the loss of large animals has had deep ecological (生态的) effects. Large animals play a central role in ecosystems.
