Sleeping. Eating. Sleeping. Eating again. Life in a pigpen (猪圈) is boring. Nothing ever changes. Sometimes, I can’t help thinking: What do I live for? “Pigs produce pork. Just eat as much as you can!” my roommates told me. “It is sad, but you can’t change it, can you?”
But last month, I heard the pigpen owner talking on the phone about something unusual. Some American doctors saved a very sick man by replacing his heart with a pig’s. This had never successfully been done before.
My owner sounded excited. I know why. His elderly uncle had been in the hospital for weeks because of a serious heart problem. A heart transplant (移植), the doctors said, was perhaps the best choice for him. However, ________. Most heart patients have to wait years before they are able to receive a transplant. Some of them die during this long and painful process. The successful operation (手术) in America means that in the future, people can depend on us pigs for healthy hearts. We are easy to raise, and we grow quickly.
Sadly, I am just an ordinary pig. I’m not able to save my owner’s uncle. But some of my kids will probably be growing up in a special lab. They will be living as lifesavers, instead of pork providers. Perhaps my owner was talking to scientists about cooperation (合作) that day. Perhaps life in the pigpen will finally be a bit different.
6. Why was the owner so excited?
A. Because he can cooperate with hospitals.
B. Because he can get a good price for his pigs.
C. Because one of his pigs can tell a true story.
D. Because the new heart transplant may save his uncle.
7. Which of the following statement can be the best to put into ________?
A. I can’t believe it at first B. that is really a great invention
C. this is easier said than done D. the operation needs a lot of money
8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To list the best ways to the problem.
B. To share the writer’s fears with readers.
C. To show readers how to run the operation.
D. To tell readers the importance of the invention.
9. Who is probably able to save my owner’s uncle?
A. I myself. B. My children. C. My owner. D. My roommates.
10. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Pigs can produce nice pork. B. Pigs have something new to offer.
C. The owner’s uncle has a heart problem. D. The mother pig hopes to meet bright future.
【答案】6. D 7. C 8. D 9. B 10. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,以猪的视角讲述了猪圈生活的单调,以及通过猪心移植手术为人类提供健康心脏的新可能性,展现了猪从“猪肉提供者”到“生命拯救者”的角色转变。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“My owner sounded excited. I know why. His elderly uncle had been in the hospital for weeks because of a serious heart problem. A heart transplant (移植), the doctors said, was perhaps the best choice for him.”可知,这个猪的主人的叔叔有严重的心脏问题,医生说心脏移植能够挽救他。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据“the doctors said, was perhaps the best choice for him. However, ... Most heart patients have to wait years before they are able to receive a transplant. Some of them die during this long and painful process. ”可知,虽然猪主人的叔叔可以通过移植心脏获救,但是心脏移植往往等待数年都不一定能等到,因此“However”后应描述心脏移植的困难,C选项“这说起来容易做起来难”。故选C。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。第三段讲述大多数心脏病人可能在等待心脏移植的漫长过程中死去,而现在通过移植猪的心脏就能够挽救这些人的生命,说明了用猪的心脏替换病人心脏这个手术的重要性。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Sadly, I am just an ordinary pig. I’m not able to save my owner’s uncle. But some of my kids will probably be growing up in a special lab. They will be living as lifesavers”可知,这只猪只是一只普通的猪,救不了主人的叔叔,但猪的一些孩子可能会在一个特殊的实验室里长大,将成为救星。由此推知,猪的孩子或许能救主人的叔叔。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文,特别是第二段“Some American doctors saved a very sick man by replacing his heart with a pig’s. This had never successfully been done before.”可知,本文主要讲述了医生可以通过用猪的心脏替换病人的心脏的方式挽救生命,以前从没有成功过,因此猪有了新用途。选项B“猪有新的东西可以提供”符合。故选B。
C
One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie (馅饼) for my mum. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process (过程).
The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success.
But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself.
Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride.
Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop.
Reward (奖励) yourself. Divide the process into small steps and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favorite cake once in a while.
11 How does the writer start the article?
A. By giving an example. B. By comparing facts. C. By using old sayings. D. By listing numbers.
12. What does the underlined word “which” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Real success. B. Happiness. C. Competition. D. New experiences.
13. What can we learn from the passage?
A The writer will never make a pie again.
B. The writer’s mum didn’t like the pie at all.
C. A small step with a reward can help you keep going.
D. Impatience and comparing always leads to success.
14. What is the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
15. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Enjoy the process. B. What does success mean to us? C. Never give up. D. How can we achieve good results?
【答案】11. A 12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】

词句猜测题。根据“That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others.”可知,此处“which”指代的是前文提到的“new experiences”,即新的经历可能帮助我们提升技能或与他人建立良好关系。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way.”可知,将过程分成小步骤,完成每个步骤后给自己奖励,小的进步加上奖励能帮助你坚持下去。故选C。
【14题详解】
篇章结构题。文章第一段用做苹果派的事例引出过程重要的话题;第二段阐述过程重要的原因;第三段提出忙碌世界中如何享受过程的问题;第四、五、六段分别从不同方面给出享受过程的方法,是“总 - 分”结构,即①②③为上层引出内容,④⑤⑥为方法。故选C。

Teens will have a duty to care for the environment. However, according to a new study, teens’ low interest in nature may be something we should worry about.
The study finds that teenagers’ interest in nature wanes. Researchers asked 1,269 students, aged 8 to 14, to take part in an online survey across four weeks in March 2021. The questions were to help researchers tell how much the kids’ interest is in nature. The findings show that for children aged 8 to 11, one out of two felt very close to nature. However, in the older age group, only one in five felt the same closeness.
How did this happen? Natural reasons, such as the beginning of puberty (青春期) and hormonal changes, could lead to teens’ changing interests. Experts note other reasons could include teens’ activities, such as sports and spending time with friends, which could take more of teens’ attention. And of course, computers and technology also take their attention.
The effects (影响) of nature on our health are too many to be told. The findings said that spending time in parks, forests and other green spaces as a child lowered the risk of developing a number of health problems. Kids’ interest in nature is not just good for themselves, but to others, and the world as a whole.
So it is important to help kids keep an interest in nature. There are many ways that parents can play a part. You can encourage kids to spend time outdoors doing fun activities or visit places that focus on the beauty of nature. You can also set an example for your teens. Recycling and volunteering to help clean up the community show that you are interested in protecting the environment, and that will influence teens as well.
16. What does the underlined word “wanes” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Goes up. B. Gets larger. C. Stays fixed. D. Becomes weaker.
17. According to paragraph 2, what is the purpose of the questions in the study?
A. To tell how close children feel to nature.
B. To compare children’s different interests.
C. To test children’s knowledge about animals.
D. To find out which outdoor activities kids like.
18. What can you learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Computers take most of teens’ attention.
B. Teens spend too much time doing sports.
C. Natural reasons could change teens’ interest in nature.
D. Teens’ activities are the main reason for their problems.
19. Paragraph 4 mainly talks about ________.
A. the ideas about nature protection B. the effects of nature on the world
C. what places are important for health D. why kids’ interest in nature is helpful
20. Why does the writer write this passage?
A. To tell kids some ways to solve natural problems.
B. To advise parents to help teens keep an interest in nature.
C. To ask teachers to help students protect the environment.
D. To encourage children to learn more about the environment.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. C 19. D 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了青少年对自然兴趣降低的原因,阐述了自然对健康的影响,并给出帮助青少年保持对自然的兴趣的方法。
【16题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Researchers asked 1,269 students, aged 8 to 14, to take part in an online survey ... The findings show that for children aged 8 to 11, one out of two felt very close to nature. However, in the older age group, only one in five felt the same closeness.”可知,研究显示年龄大些的孩子对自然的亲近感降低,所以青少年对自然的兴趣减弱了,可猜测划线词wanes的意思应该是“减弱”。故选D。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The questions were to help researchers tell how much the kids’ interest is in nature.”可知,研究中的问题是为了帮助研究人员了解孩子们对自然的兴趣程度,即了解孩子们对自然的感受。故选A。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Natural reasons, such as the beginning of puberty (青春期) and hormonal changes, could lead to teens’ changing interests.”可知,自然原因,如青春期的开始和激素变化,可能导致青少年兴趣的变化。故选C。
【19题详解】
主旨大意题。通读第四段可知,该段落主要讲述了自然对健康有很多影响,孩子对自然的兴趣不仅对自己好,也对他人和世界有益,核心是阐述孩子对自然感兴趣的好处。故选D。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章先指出青少年对自然的兴趣降低这一现象,然后分析了原因和自然的影响,最后提到帮助孩子保持对自然的兴趣的方法以及父母可以起的作用,可推断作者的写作目的是建议父母帮助青少年保持对自然的兴趣。故选B。

Sleeping. Eating. Sleeping. Eating again. Life in a pigpen (猪圈) is boring. Nothing ever changes. Sometimes, I can’t help thinking: What do I live for? “Pigs produce pork. Just eat as much as you can!” my roommates told me. “It is sad, but you can’t change it, can you?”
But last month, I heard the pigpen owner talking on the phone about something unusual. Some American doctors saved a very sick man by replacing his heart with a pig’s. This had never successfully been done before.
My owner sounded excited. I know why. His elderly uncle had been in the hospital for weeks because of a serious heart problem. A heart transplant (移植), the doctors said, was perhaps the best choice for him. However, ________. Most heart patients have to wait years before they are able to receive a transplant. Some of them die during this long and painful process. The successful operation (手术) in America means that in the future, people can depend on us pigs for healthy hearts. We are easy to raise, and we grow quickly.
Sadly, I am just an ordinary pig. I’m not able to save my owner’s uncle. But some of my kids will probably be growing up in a special lab. They will be living as lifesavers, instead of pork providers. Perhaps my owner was talking to scientists about cooperation (合作) that day. Perhaps life in the pigpen will finally be a bit different.
6. Why was the owner so excited?
A Because he can cooperate with hospitals.
B. Because he can get a good price for his pigs.
C. Because one of his pigs can tell a true story.
D. Because the new heart transplant may save his uncle.
7. Which of the following statement can be the best to put into ________?
A. I can’t believe it at first B. that is really a great invention
C. this is easier said than done D. the operation needs a lot of money
8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To list the best ways to the problem.
B. To share the writer’s fears with readers.
C To show readers how to run the operation.
D. To tell readers the importance of the invention.
9. Who is probably able to save my owner’s uncle?
A. I myself. B. My children. C. My owner. D. My roommates.
10. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Pigs can produce nice pork. B. Pigs have something new to offer.
C The owner’s uncle has a heart problem. D. The mother pig hopes to meet bright future.

One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie (馅饼) for my mum. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process (过程).
The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success.
But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself.
Don’t always compare yourself with others. First of all, we are all different. And success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power. Ride your own ride.
Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop.
Reward (奖励) yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them. Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way. For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favorite cake once in a while.
11. How does the writer start the article?
A. By giving an example. B. By comparing facts. C. By using old sayings. D. By listing numbers.
12. What does the underlined word “which” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Real success. B. Happiness. C. Competition. D. New experiences.
13. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The writer will never make a pie again.
B. The writer’s mum didn’t like the pie at all.
C. A small step with a reward can help you keep going.
D. Impatience and comparing always leads to success.
14. What is the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
15. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Enjoy the process. B. What does success mean to us? C. Never give up. D. How can we achieve good results?
D
Teens will have a duty to care for the environment. However, according to a new study, teens’ low interest in nature may be something we should worry about.
The study finds that teenagers’ interest in nature wanes. Researchers asked 1,269 students, aged 8 to 14, to take part in an online survey across four weeks in March 2021. The questions were to help researchers tell how much the kids’ interest is in nature. The findings show that for children aged 8 to 11, one out of two felt very close to nature. However, in the older age group, only one in five felt the same closeness.
How did this happen? Natural reasons, such as the beginning of puberty (青春期) and hormonal changes, could lead to teens’ changing interests. Experts note other reasons could include teens’ activities, such as sports and spending time with friends, which could take more of teens’ attention. And of course, computers and technology also take their attention.
The effects (影响) of nature on our health are too many to be told. The findings said that spending time in parks, forests and other green spaces as a child lowered the risk of developing a number of health problems. Kids’ interest in nature is not just good for themselves, but to others, and the world as a whole.
So it is important to help kids keep an interest in nature. There are many ways that parents can play a part. You can encourage kids to spend time outdoors doing fun activities or visit places that focus on the beauty of nature. You can also set an example for your teens. Recycling and volunteering to help clean up the community show that you are interested in protecting the environment, and that will influence teens as well.
16. What does the underlined word “wanes” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Goes up. B. Gets larger. C. Stays fixed. D. Becomes weaker.
17. According to paragraph 2, what is the purpose of the questions in the study?
A. To tell how close children feel to nature.
B. To compare children’s different interests.
C. To test children’s knowledge about animals.
D. To find out which outdoor activities kids like.
18. What can you learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Computers take most of teens’ attention.
B. Teens spend too much time doing sports.
C. Natural reasons could change teens’ interest in nature.
D. Teens’ activities are the main reason for their problems.
19. Paragraph 4 mainly talks about ________.
A. the ideas about nature protection B. the effects of nature on the world
C. what places are important for health D. why kids’ interest in nature is helpful
20. Why does the writer write this passage?
A. To tell kids some ways to solve natural problems.
B. To advise parents to help teens keep an interest in nature.
