Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed. Each pair of students meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit each. Requirements for completion: •One welcoming session on the second Friday of the term •18 weekly one-hour pair meetings •Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings •At least three pair-teacher meetings •One five-minute final video Sign up! The sign-up and registration process is as follows: •Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning. •Based on the information entered by each student, potential pairs are identified. •Proficiency (熟练) levels are confirmed through coursework or placement tests. •Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme. Reminders: Signing up for the programme does not automatically mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme. 21. In the programme, students will _________. A. chair daily meetings B. evaluate the exchange C. meet teachers each week D. practise their language skills 22. To complete the programme, students are required to _________. A. development tests B. participate in pair meetings C. welcome new students D. work on weekly videos 23. What do students need to do during the registration? A. Indicate their languages of interest. B. Select their own coursework. C. Make individual contact. D. Choose their partners. B You have not properly experienced Chengdu until you give up your sightseeing plans and prepare to do nothing. Settle into a slope-backed bamboo chair, stretch your feet out and let the afternoon drift away. Listen to the slosh of hot water being poured into teacups, the rustle of newspapers, the clack of mahjong tiles (麻将牌), and a murmur of conversation. Crack melon seeds or eat boiled peanuts. Slurp tea. Let lethargy take over in the cloudy, humid embrace of a summer day in Chengdu. Fertile (肥沃的) Sichuan has long been one of China’s major tea-producing regions. Chengdu had been noted for its teahouses by the Tang dynasty— as early as the ninth century. For centuries, teahouses were places for entertainment as well as tea, with performances of storytelling, music, and especially Sichuan opera. That is a fading art these days, but Yuelai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theater still hosts opera every Saturday afternoon. You will find most of Chengdu’s old-school teahouses in parks and temple compounds (大院). Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park buzzes with morning retirees, lunchtime office workers, and afternoon visitors. All of them sit under red lanterns by a lotus pond. When the hubbub gets too much, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Regulars are older and quieter. They bring songbirds on outings, hanging their cages in the branches of willow trees, and play mahjong in a pavilion (凉亭) covered with moss. In more recent years, however, increasingly elaborate teahouses have opened to appeal to the younger generation. They tend to have a taste for superior teas in a more contemporary style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city’s most fashionable retail district. As in all teahouses, the tea comes in individual packets with a Thermos (热水瓶) of water. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, south of Chengdu, is the traditional favorite. Shake the loose leaves into your palm-sized cup. The cup usually comes with a saucer and a lid that both functions to strain (过滤) surface-floating leaves and to keep the tea warm. Don’t let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bitterness from the tea leaves is concentrated at the bottom. You can top up your tea all afternoon and have no obligation to buy anything else. In Chengdu teahouses, people refresh themselves between bouts of fan-dancing or martial-arts practice. They slip sideways into a gentler time that ignores urban China’s fast-paced, never-ending hustle (忙碌喧嚣). The Sichuan capital is booming too, yet has managed to retain the provincial character and slower pace that has been lost in many other Chinese cities. 24. The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to “__________. ” A. laziness B. tiredness C. noisiness D. eagerness 25. If Tom wished to be left in peace for a while during his visit to Chengdu which of the following teahouses would be his best choice according to the article? A. Yuelai Teahouse. B. Mi Xun Teahouse. C. Heming Teahouse. D. Shaocheng Teahouse. 26. The last but one paragraph mainly talks about __________. A. some useful tips for readers who want to visit Chengdu’s teahouses B. some interesting facts the author found in books on Chengdu’s teahouses C. some painful lessons the author learned from his trip to Chengdu’s teahouses D. some basic rules readers have to follow if they want to visit Chengdu’s teahouses 27. What can we learn about the author from the article? A. He is a loyal fan of Chinese culture. B. He had been to Chengdu many times. C. He is kind of tired of modern city life in China. D. He was surprised by the rapid development of China. C The Thames has always been a reflector of the times, says Lara Maiklem, who spends her days on the river’s foreshore searching for history’s waste. She can tell the time of year just by the type of rubbish: champagne bottles during the first week of January; footballs in summer. The year 2020 has left its own mark. Since the coronavirus reached Britain, the mud has sprouted a crop of latex gloves (橡胶手套). Half a world away in China, Gary Stokes docked his boat on Hong Kong’s isolated Soko Islands. He is all too accustomed to finding what the modern world throws up. What Stokes documented that day, however, made local headlines: 70 surgical face masks on a 100-meter stretch of beach. Having cleaned it up, he went back four days later. Like a stubborn weed, the masks had returned. Whether on the foreshore of the Thames or the deserted beaches of Soko, the planet is awash with pandemic plastic. Consumption of single-use plastic may have grown by 250 to 300 percent in the United States since the coronavirus took hold. Much of that increase is down to demand for products designed to keep COVID-19 at bay, including masks, visors (面罩) and gloves. Astonishing though the figure is, personal protection is only part of the story. Lockdowns have also led to a boom in e-commerce. In March alone, 2.5 billion customers visited Amazon’s website, a 65 percent increase from last year. At the same time, the locked-down masses have been consuming home deliveries from restaurants in record numbers. Every shipped item, or extra portion of curry (咖喱), means more plastic waste. All of these things together mean that much of the plastic produced this year is ending up either in landfill (垃圾填埋) sites or being incinerated (焚烧). Both could shore up the potential for future problems. Landfills are responsible for some of the biggest leakages of plastics into oceans, because the light material is easily swept away by rains or winds into waterways. Incineration is not much better. Not only can burning plastics create toxins (毒素), but it also often fails to completely break down the material, leaving considerable levels of micro-particles (微粒) in the environment, which can be emitted into the atmosphere or leach into groundwater and eventually into oceans. There are good reasons why the public has turned to plastics. What’s worrisome, however, is that all of the efforts and gains that were made in attempts to change the public’s attitude towards single-use plastic might now be lost. In Athens, for example, there has been a 150 percent increase in the amount of plastic found in the general-waste stream. This might be explained by people’s nervousness about venturing out to put waste in recycling bins. Or it might just be that lockdowns have put more pressing matters into their minds, causing a slip (疏忽) in their diligence. Just as COVID-19 has scarred families and harmed livelihoods across the world, its effect on the planet will linger, too, in the world’s landfills and oceans. 28. The two examples in the first two paragraphs are meant to show that ________. A. ocean plastic pollution sums up the world’s biggest problems B. the problem of ocean plastic pollution is universal across the world C. it’s not easy to solve the problem of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans D. the coronavirus pandemic has worsened the problem of ocean pollution 29. According to the article, the recent pollutants in the ocean include ________. ①takeout leftovers ②product and food packaging ③personal protective equipment ④recyclable materials that can be reused A. ②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①②③④ 30. Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with? A. The way we deal with plastic waste is problematic. B. We now have every reason to stop using plastic products. C. Each individual is responsible for the current plastic crisis. D. It’s understandable that we have ignored plastic pollution because of the pandemic. 31. The author’s attitude towards the post-pandemic world is ________. A. unclear B. positive C. concerned D. objective D Most people who buy their very own tropical island do so in pursuit of luxury. Brendon Grimshaw was different. So, too, was Moyenne, the island in the Seychelles (塞舌尔) that Grimshaw bought. Grimshaw first came to the Seychelles — an archipelago (群岛) of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, only eight of which are permanently populated — in 1962. He was on holiday from his job as an editor working for some of the biggest newspapers in East Africa. But Grimshaw was looking for something more than a holiday. Understanding that his job would soon pass to locals, Grimshaw, an Englishman, searched for a new direction in life, one that took him closer to nature — ideally, he would buy his own island. On his first few weeks in the Seychelles, Grimshaw began to wonder whether he needed a change of plan: There were not many islands on the market, and those that had wildly high price tags. On the second-to-last day of his holiday, a young man approached him and asked if he wanted to buy an island. And just like that, they travelled together to Moyenne. Grimshaw immediately fell in love with its silence and its wild tangle of vegetation. At four minutes to midnight on the last day of his holiday, Grimshaw signed an agreement to pay £8,000 for Moyenne. But buying the island would prove an easier task than taking care of it. Moyenne is one of the smallest of the Seychelles’ inner islands, which measures just 0.4km long and 0.3km wide. Save for (除了……以外) a family of fisherfolk who lived on the island, it had been abandoned for decades. Despite its tiny size, restoring the island’s natural beauty was a massive task. The island was so overgrown that, it was said, falling coconuts never hit the ground. In the tangle of weeds, birds were noticeably absent and rats searched for food in the undergrowth. By Grimshaw’s side was Rene Antoine Lafortune, the 19-year-old son of a local fisherman. The two became inseparable, and together they set about transforming the island, clearing the scrub (矮树丛), planting trees and building paths through the undergrowth. It was tiring work — and it became Grimshaw’s life-long obsession. With tourism starting to take off in the Seychelles, it seemed only a matter of time before someone cleared the land to build a five-star resort. Grimshaw’s initial goal was to protect Moyenne from overdevelopment. But as he grew older, he became increasingly aware that he had limited time left to protect the island’s future. He had no children to whom he could pass on custodianship (管理职务) of the island, and when Lafortune passed away in 2007, Grimshaw decided to act. He set up a perpetual trust (永久信托) to protect the island and signed an agreement with the Seychelles’ Ministry of Environment in 2009. With that, Moyenne Island National Park, the world’s smallest national park, was born. While it may be easy to imagine Grimshaw as nothing more than an eccentric figure, many Seychellois remain grateful for what he left to his adopted nation. Grimshaw died in 2012. At his request, his tombstone reads, “Moyenne taught him to open his eyes to the beauty around him and say thank you to God. ” 32. According to the article, Brendon Grimshaw went to the Seychelles in 1962 _________. A. in order to get closer to nature B. shortly after he found a new job C. in order to find an opportunity to buy his own island D. because he had just left his job as a newspaper editor 33. According to the article, Moyenne was a(n) _________ island when Brendon Grimshaw bought it. A. weedy B. lifeless C. unmanned D. magnificent 34. According to the article, after buying Moyenne, Brendon Grimshaw, together with Rene Antoine Lafortune, _________. A. made a living by fishing B. promoted sustainable tourism projects C. managed to bring back its natural beauty D. made it the world’s smallest national park 35. The article mainly focuses on Brendon Grimshaw’s being a(n) _________ person. A. flexible B. intelligent C. far-sighted D. considerate 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。 Humans are born and wired to compete with one another. Influencers compare how many “likes” they have on social media. Millionaires envy billionaires. Famous actors complain about the Oscar or Emmy that should have been theirs. ___36___ On the contrary, if left unmanaged it can create misery (不幸) for ourselves and others, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). This conclusion comes from research conducted on Olympic athletes. In a 1995 study, scholars studied the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. They examined the medalists both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台). ___37___ More recent research has looked at the life span (寿命) of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study tracked the average longevity of those representing the U. S. in the Olympic Games from 1904 to 1936. The results showed that the athletes whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by a solid (不间断的) four years, living to 76. But first prize went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation: “ ___38___ ” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser. This is because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists while the bronze winners compare themselves favourably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This hypothesis (假设) is based on a large body of literature (文献) showing the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like losers. ___39___ The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. More likely, you will spend most of your time feeling like a silver medalist. ___40___ It would be much more advisable, then, to aim for healthy competition in which you do your best without expectation of being the absolute winner. The only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. A. Dissatisfactory competition results may negatively influence health. B. In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves, and thus happier. C. It is discovered that the bronze winners appeared happier on average than the silver medalists. D. Comparing our own circumstances with the unfortunate lot of others is a reliable path to general well-being. E. Although the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead to human flourishing (兴盛). F. You may be always longing, pinning your hope on a single outcome, but eventually ending up with failure and disappointment. G. People commonly feel bad about themselves after checking out the lives of others on social media who post only about their victories and celebrations. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last week, I went to meet Dr Dean Nicolle, who has planted about 10,000 eucalypt (桉树) trees and mallees (桉树灌丛) since 1993. ___41___ Dean, we now have the Currency Creek Arboretum (金钱溪植物园), bringing Australia’s eucalypt species together for ___42___. When I visited, I was ___43___ by the dry, brown landscape. South Australia is facing its ___44___ drought in 40 years, and Dean is studying how drought affects the trees. About a third of his trees have died or are ___45___. Even though I work in climate media and often read bad news, seeing the dried, brown trees with cracked bark (皲裂的树皮) ___46___ much worse. Deep inside, I feel a ___47___: If the trees cannot survive, neither can we. Eucalypts are strong ___48___. They have lived through ice ages, bushfires, and other changes over millions of years. But today, with more heatwaves, droughts and land clearing caused by humans, even eucalypts are ___49___. The International Union for Conservation of Nature says 25 percent of eucalypt species are now at risk of ____50____. At lunch after my visit, Dean and I talked about ____51____ sadness over losing trees and nature. Dean tries to focus on his research and I find that sometimes swearing (说脏话) ____52____ helps. Still, the real ____53____ is doing more to protect trees and ____54____ in research. As I drove back to Sydney, looking at the bag of gumnuts (桉树果) Dean gave me, they seemed like little ____55____. I hope more people will learn to love eucalypts so we can protect them for the future. 41. A. Prior to B. Instead of C. Thanks to D. Contrary to 42.

They even got me a magazine about soccer. We left very early in the morning, planning to be at our new home before classes began. If everything had gone perfectly, there would have been time for me to find my new classes, meet people, and even warm up before the tryouts. However, while we were driving to my new home, our car suddenly stopped working on the highway under the hot sun. We waited anxiously for two hours for a rescue, only to spend another two hours arranging for a rental car. The whole time, my heart was pounding with worry, afraid that I would miss the tryouts. Finally, we arrived at the new school. The moment I got out of the cat, I rushed towards the headmaster’s office to report, out of breath. “Oh, Tina I think you’re too late for the tryouts. Coach Turner said they’d end at 3 pm,” said Headmaster Morgan. She glanced up at the clock and shook her head, “They’re almost finished.” Feeling defeated, I bit my lower lip and held back tears. All of a sudden, I saw the latest soccer magazine in my backpack. At that moment, my favorite words from the magazine rang in my head good player never gives up, even when the game seems lost.” 注意： 1. 续写字数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I’m so sorry, but our car broke down,” I explained to the headmaster. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Three minutes,” Coach Turner said, rolling a soccer ball toward me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高2026届2025年暑期提升第一次月考 英语试卷 注意事项 1.本试卷满分150分，考试时间150分钟。 2.答题前,务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 3.答选择题时，必须使用2B铅笔填涂对应题目的答案标号，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 4.答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米黑色签字笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上。 5.考试结束后,将答题卡、试卷、草稿纸全部交回。 请考生注意：所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从试题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where might the conversation take place?

He founded and was head of Microsoft for years. Gates was born to a rich family in the state of Washington. His father was a lawyer, his mother was a banker. He is famous for being taken as the father of modern computer. He studies at Harvard University but did not graduate because of his desire to develop new software. As a 13-year-old student, Gates was introduced to computer programming. In 1975, Gates spoke to a company called Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS). He convinced the owner of the company that he had written a program that would work well and make big money. The owner bought into Gates’ inventions, and the two men reached an agreement to develop software for the company. Then the Microsoft Company was born. Gates went on to develop the Windows operating system with their partner IBM. The two companies had differences though, and their partnership ended quickly. Gates worked as CEO until 2000. He remained active with the company for several years before leaving the company in 2008.

Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed.(语言交流项目让学生们两人一组，每周用他们希望分享和学习的两种不同的语言进行交流。学生们在每次搭档会议后记录简短的条目，指出所练习的语言技能和讨论的主题)”可知，在这个项目中，学生们将练习他们的语言技能。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Requirements for completion部分第二点“18 weekly one-hour pair meetings(每周18次一小时的配对会议)”可知，为了完成该项目，学生们被要求参加配对会议。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sign up部分第一点“Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning.(学生们报名参加并表明他们可以分享的语言以及他们有兴趣学习的语言)”可知，学生们在注册期间需要表明他们感兴趣的语言。故选A。 B You have not properly experienced Chengdu until you give up your sightseeing plans and prepare to do nothing. Settle into a slope-backed bamboo chair, stretch your feet out and let the afternoon drift away. Listen to the slosh of hot water being poured into teacups, the rustle of newspapers, the clack of mahjong tiles (麻将牌), and a murmur of conversation. Crack melon seeds or eat boiled peanuts. Slurp tea. Let lethargy take over in the cloudy, humid embrace of a summer day in Chengdu. Fertile (肥沃的) Sichuan has long been one of China’s major tea-producing regions. Chengdu had been noted for its teahouses by the Tang dynasty— as early as the ninth century. For centuries, teahouses were places for entertainment as well as tea, with performances of storytelling, music, and especially Sichuan opera. That is a fading art these days, but Yuelai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theater still hosts opera every Saturday afternoon. You will find most of Chengdu’s old-school teahouses in parks and temple compounds (大院). Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park buzzes with morning retirees, lunchtime office workers, and afternoon visitors. All of them sit under red lanterns by a lotus pond. When the hubbub gets too much, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Regulars are older and quieter. They bring songbirds on outings, hanging their cages in the branches of willow trees, and play mahjong in a pavilion (凉亭) covered with moss. In more recent years, however, increasingly elaborate teahouses have opened to appeal to the younger generation. They tend to have a taste for superior teas in a more contemporary style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city’s most fashionable retail district. As in all teahouses, the tea comes in individual packets with a Thermos (热水瓶) of water. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, south of Chengdu, is the traditional favorite. Shake the loose leaves into your palm-sized cup. The cup usually comes with a saucer and a lid that both functions to strain (过滤) surface-floating leaves and to keep the tea warm. Don’t let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bitterness from the tea leaves is concentrated at the bottom. You can top up your tea all afternoon and have no obligation to buy anything else. In Chengdu teahouses, people refresh themselves between bouts of fan-dancing or martial-arts practice. They slip sideways into a gentler time that ignores urban China’s fast-paced, never-ending hustle (忙碌喧嚣). The Sichuan capital is booming too, yet has managed to retain the provincial character and slower pace that has been lost in many other Chinese cities. 24. The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to “__________. ” A. laziness B. tiredness C. noisiness D. eagerness 25. If Tom wished to be left in peace for a while during his visit to Chengdu, which of the following teahouses would be his best choice according to the article? A. Yuelai Teahouse. B. Mi Xun Teahouse. C. Heming Teahouse. D. Shaocheng Teahouse. 26. The last but one paragraph mainly talks about __________. A. some useful tips for readers who want to visit Chengdu’s teahouses B. some interesting facts the author found in books on Chengdu’s teahouses C. some painful lessons the author learned from his trip to Chengdu’s teahouses D. some basic rules readers have to follow if they want to visit Chengdu’s teahouses 27. What can we learn about the author from the article? A. He is a loyal fan of Chinese culture. B. He had been to Chengdu many times. C. He is kind of tired of modern city life in China. D. He was surprised by the rapid development of China. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了成都的茶馆文化，包括在茶馆中的惬意体验、茶馆的历史、不同类型的茶馆特点以及在茶馆喝茶的相关事宜等。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Settle into a slope-backed bamboo chair, stretch your feet out and let the afternoon drift away. (坐在一把斜背竹椅上，伸开双脚，让下午的时光慢慢流逝)”以及“Let lethargy take over in the cloudy, humid embrace of a summer day in Chengdu. (在成都阴云密布、潮湿的夏日里，让lethargy占据你的身心)”可知，作者描述了一种放松、慵懒的状态，因此“lethargy”与“laziness”词义相近，意为“慵懒”。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When the hubbub gets too much, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Regulars are older and quieter. (当喧闹声太大时，可以去同一公园的少城茶馆。那里的常客年纪较大，也更安静)”可知，少城茶馆环境安静，适合想要独处的游客。故选D项。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“As in all teahouses, the tea comes in individual packets with a Thermos (热水瓶) of water. (和所有茶馆一样，茶是单独包装的，配有一个热水瓶)”以及“Don’t let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bitterness from the tea leaves is concentrated at the bottom. (不要让杯子里的水位太低，因为茶叶的苦味都集中在底部)”可知，该段主要介绍了在成都茶馆喝茶的一些实用建议。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“They slip sideways into a gentler time that ignores urban China’s fast-paced, never-ending hustle (忙碌喧嚣). The Sichuan capital is booming too, yet has managed to retain the provincial character and slower pace that has been lost in many other Chinese cities. (他们悄然步入一段更为舒缓的时光，将中国都市那种快节奏、永不停歇的忙碌喧嚣抛诸脑后。这座四川省省会城市同样在蓬勃发展，却成功保留了地方特色与从容节奏，而这些在其他许多中国城市早已消逝)”可知，作者欣赏成都悠闲的生活节奏，暗示他对中国现代城市快节奏的生活感到厌倦。故选C项。 C The Thames has always been a reflector of the times says Lara Maiklem, who spends her days on the river’s foreshore searching for history’s waste. She can tell the time of year just by the type of rubbish: champagne bottles during the first week of January; footballs in summer. The year 2020 has left its own mark. Since the coronavirus reached Britain, the mud has sprouted a crop of latex gloves (橡胶手套). Half a world away in China, Gary Stokes docked his boat on Hong Kong’s isolated Soko Islands. He is all too accustomed to finding what the modern world throws up. What Stokes documented that day, however, made local headlines: 70 surgical face masks on a 100-meter stretch of beach. Having cleaned it up, he went back four days later. Like a stubborn weed, the masks had returned. Whether on the foreshore of the Thames or the deserted beaches of Soko, the planet is awash with pandemic plastic. Consumption of single-use plastic may have grown by 250 to 300 percent in the United States since the coronavirus took hold. Much of that increase is down to demand for products designed to keep COVID-19 at bay, including masks, visors (面罩) and gloves. Astonishing though the figure is, personal protection is only part of the story. Lockdowns have also led to a boom in e-commerce. In March alone, 2.5 billion customers visited Amazon’s website, a 65 percent increase from last year. At the same time, the locked-down masses have been consuming home deliveries from restaurants in record numbers. Every shipped item, or extra portion of curry (咖喱), means more plastic waste. All of these things together mean that much of the plastic produced this year is ending up either in landfill (垃圾填埋) sites or being incinerated (焚烧). Both could shore up the potential for future problems. Landfills are responsible for some of the biggest leakages of plastics into oceans, because the light material is easily swept away by rains or winds into waterways. Incineration is not much better. Not only can burning plastics create toxins (毒素), but it also often fails to completely break down the material, leaving considerable levels of micro-particles (微粒) in the environment, which can be emitted into the atmosphere or leach into groundwater and eventually into oceans. There are good reasons why the public has turned to plastics. What’s worrisome, however, is that all of the efforts and gains that were made in attempts to change the public’s attitude towards single-use plastic might now be lost. In Athens, for example, there has been a 150 percent increase in the amount of plastic found in the general-waste stream. This might be explained by people’s nervousness about venturing out to put waste in recycling bins. Or it might just be that lockdowns have put more pressing matters into their minds, causing a slip (疏忽) in their diligence. Just as COVID-19 has scarred families and harmed livelihoods across the world, its effect on the planet will linger, too, in the world’s landfills and oceans. 28. The two examples in the first two paragraphs are meant to show that ________. A. ocean plastic pollution sums up the world’s biggest problems B. the problem of ocean plastic pollution is universal across the world C. it’s not easy to solve the problem of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans D. the coronavirus pandemic has worsened the problem of ocean pollution 29. According to the article, the recent pollutants in the ocean include ________. ①takeout leftovers ②product and food packaging ③personal protective equipment ④recyclable materials that can be reused A. ②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①②③④ 30. Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with? A. The way we deal with plastic waste is problematic. B. We now have every reason to stop using plastic products. C. Each individual is responsible for the current plastic crisis. D. It’s understandable that we have ignored plastic pollution because of the pandemic. 31. The author’s attitude towards the post-pandemic world is ________. A. unclear B. positive C. concerned D. objective 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了新冠疫情对海洋塑料污染问题的影响，包括疫情期间塑料垃圾的新增来源、处理方式带来的隐患以及对公众环保态度的冲击等。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The year 2020 has left its own mark. Since the coronavirus reached Britain, the mud has sprouted a crop of latex gloves (橡胶手套). (2020年也留下了自己的印记。自冠状病毒抵达英国以来，河泥中就冒出了大量的橡胶手套)”以及第二段中“What Stokes documented that day, however, made local headlines: 70 surgical face masks on a 100-meter stretch of beach. Having cleaned it up, he went back four days later. Like a stubborn weed, the masks had returned. (然而，斯托克斯那天记录的情况登上了当地头条：在100米长的海滩上，发现了70个医用口罩。他清理干净后，四天后又回去查看，那些口罩却像顽固的杂草一样，再次出现了)”和第三段中“Whether on the foreshore of the Thames or the deserted beaches of Soko, the planet is awash with pandemic plastic.(无论是在泰晤士河的河岸，还是在索罟群岛荒芜的海滩，整个地球都充斥着疫情期间产生的塑料垃圾)”可推知，前两段通过泰晤士河出现大量橡胶手套和香港索罟群岛海滩口罩反复出现的例子，旨在说明新冠疫情加剧了海洋污染问题。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Much of that increase is down to demand for products designed to keep COVID-19 at bay, including masks, visors (面罩) and gloves. (增长的很大一部分原因是对预防新冠病毒的产品需求增加，包括口罩、面罩和手套)”，即个人防护装备，第四段中“Every shipped item, or extra portion of curry (咖喱), means more plastic waste. (每一个运输的物品，或额外一份咖喱，都意味着更多的塑料垃圾)”，即产品和食品包装以及最后一段“This might be explained by people’s nervousness about venturing out to put waste in recycling bins. (这可能是因为人们不敢冒险出去把垃圾放进回收箱)”，即可回收材料可知，近期海洋中的污染物包括②产品和食品包装，③个人防护装备，④可重复使用的可回收材料。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“All of these things together mean that much of the plastic produced this year is ending up either in landfill (垃圾填埋) sites or being incinerated (焚烧). Both could shore up the potential for future problems. Landfills are responsible for some of the biggest leakages of plastics into oceans, because the light material is easily swept away by rains or winds into waterways. Incineration is not much better. (所有这些因素加在一起，意味着今年生产的大部分塑料最终要么被送到垃圾填埋场，要么被焚烧处理。这两种方式都可能加剧未来的潜在问题。垃圾填埋场是塑料泄漏到海洋中的主要源头之一，因为这种轻质材料很容易被雨水或风力冲刷进河道。而焚烧处理也好不到哪里去)”可推知，作者认为目前处理塑料垃圾的方式，如填埋和焚烧存在问题，会带来后续隐患。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“What’s worrisome, however, is that all of the efforts and gains that were made in attempts to change the public’s attitude towards single-use plastic might now be lost.(然而，令人担忧的是，所有为改变公众对一次性塑料的态度所付出的努力和取得的成果，如今可能都付诸东流了)”及“Just as COVID-19 has scarred families and harmed livelihoods across the world, its effect on the planet will linger, too, in the world’s landfills and oceans. (就像新冠疫情给世界各地的家庭带来创伤、损害生计一样，它对地球的影响也将在世界的垃圾填埋场和海洋中持续存在)”可知，作者认为疫情对地球的负面影响将长期存在，体现出对后疫情时代的担忧。故选C项。 D Most people who buy their very own tropical island do so in pursuit of luxury. Brendon Grimshaw was different. So, too, was Moyenne, the island in the Seychelles (塞舌尔) that Grimshaw bought. Grimshaw first came to the Seychelles — an archipelago (群岛) of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, only eight of which are permanently populated — in 1962. He was on holiday from his job as an editor working for some of the biggest newspapers in East Africa. But Grimshaw was looking for something more than a holiday. Understanding that his job would soon pass to locals, Grimshaw, an Englishman, searched for a new direction in life, one that took him closer to nature — ideally, he would buy his own island. On his first few weeks in the Seychelles, Grimshaw began to wonder whether he needed a change of plan: There were not many islands on the market, and those that had wildly high price tags. On the second-to-last day of his holiday, a young man approached him and asked if he wanted to buy an island. And just like that, they travelled together to Moyenne. Grimshaw immediately fell in love with its silence and its wild tangle of vegetation. At four minutes to midnight on the last day of his holiday, Grimshaw signed an agreement to pay £8,000 for Moyenne. But buying the island would prove an easier task than taking care of it. Moyenne is one of the smallest of the Seychelles’ inner islands, which measures just 0.4km long and 0.3km wide. Save for (除了……以外) a family of fisherfolk who lived on the island, it had been abandoned for decades. Despite its tiny size, restoring the island’s natural beauty was a massive task. The island was so overgrown that, it was said, falling coconuts never hit the ground. In the tangle of weeds, birds were noticeably absent and rats searched for food in the undergrowth. By Grimshaw’s side was Rene Antoine Lafortune, the 19-year-old son of a local fisherman. The two became inseparable, and together they set about transforming the island, clearing the scrub (矮树丛), planting trees and building paths through the undergrowth. It was tiring work — and it became Grimshaw’s life-long obsession. With tourism starting to take off in the Seychelles, it seemed only a matter of time before someone cleared the land to build a five-star resort. Grimshaw’s initial goal was to protect Moyenne from overdevelopment. But as he grew older, he became increasingly aware that he had limited time left to protect the island’s future. He had no children to whom he could pass on custodianship (管理职务) of the island, and when Lafortune passed away in 2007, Grimshaw decided to act. He set up a perpetual trust (永久信托) to protect the island and signed an agreement with the Seychelles’ Ministry of Environment in 2009. With that, Moyenne Island National Park, the world’s smallest national park, was born. While it may be easy to imagine Grimshaw as nothing more than an eccentric figure, many Seychellois remain grateful for what he left to his adopted nation. Grimshaw died in 2012. At his request, his tombstone reads, “Moyenne taught him to open his eyes to the beauty around him and say thank you to God. ” 32. According to the article, Brendon Grimshaw went to the Seychelles in 1962 _________. A. in order to get closer to nature B. shortly after he found a new job C. in order to find an opportunity to buy his own island D. because he had just left his job as a newspaper editor 33. According to the article, Moyenne was a(n) _________ island when Brendon Grimshaw bought it. A. weedy B. lifeless C. unmanned D. magnificent 34. According to the article, after buying Moyenne, Brendon Grimshaw, together with Rene Antoine Lafortune, _________. A. made a living by fishing B. promoted sustainable tourism projects C. managed to bring back its natural beauty D. made it the world’s smallest national park 35. The article mainly focuses on Brendon Grimshaw’s being a(n) _________ person. A. flexible B. intelligent C. far-sighted D. considerate 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Brendon Grimshaw购买塞舌尔的Moyenne岛并与其伙伴一起改造该岛，最终将其设立为永久信托的国家公园，以保护岛屿自然环境的故事。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Understanding that his job would soon pass to locals, Grimshaw, an Englishman, searched for a new direction in life, one that took him closer to nature — ideally, he would buy his own island. (Grimshaw是个英国人，他意识到自己的工作很快就会交给当地人，于是开始寻找新的人生方向——一个能让他更亲近自然的方向，理想情况下，他想买下一座属于自己的岛屿)”可知，1962年Grimshaw去塞舌尔，表面是度假，实则在寻找新的生活方向，理想是购买一座属于自己的岛屿，靠近自然。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“The island was so overgrown that, it was said, falling coconuts never hit the ground. In the tangle of weeds, birds were noticeably absent and rats searched for food in the undergrowth. (据说，这座岛屿杂草丛生，以至于掉落的椰子都不会落到地面上。在缠绕的杂草中，明显看不到鸟儿的踪迹，只有老鼠在灌木丛中觅食)”可知，Grimshaw买下Moyenne岛时，岛上杂草丛生，椰子掉落都不会落到地面。由此可知，当时岛屿是多杂草的。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段“The two became inseparable, and together they set about transforming the island, clearing the scrub (矮树丛), planting trees and building paths through the undergrowth. (两人形影不离，一同着手改造这座岛屿：清理矮树丛、栽种树木，还在灌木丛中开辟出一条条小径)”以及前文提到岛屿购买时的荒芜状态可知，两人一起清理矮树丛、种树、开辟小路，致力于恢复岛屿的自然美景。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第八段“But as he grew older, he became increasingly aware that he had limited time left to protect the island’s future. He had no children to whom he could pass on custodianship (管理职务) of the island, and when Lafortune passed away in 2007, Grimshaw decided to act. He set up a perpetual trust (永久信托) to protect the island and signed an agreement with the Seychelles’ Ministry of Environment in 2009. (但随着年事渐高，他越来越清楚自己能用来守护这座岛屿未来的时间已经不多了。他没有子女可以托付岛屿的管理权，而2007年Lafortune离世后，Grimshaw决定采取行动。他设立了一项永久信托来保护这座岛屿，并于2009年与塞舌尔环境部签署了协议)”并结合全文内容可知，文章讲述Grimshaw购买岛屿后，不仅花费毕生精力改造它，还在意识到自己时间有限后，设立永久信托并与塞舌尔环境部达成协议，将其变为国家公园，以保护岛屿免受过度开发。由此推知，他是一个具有长远眼光的人。故选C项。 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。 Humans are born and wired to compete with one another. Influencers compare how many “likes” they have on social media. Millionaires envy billionaires. Famous actors complain about the Oscar or Emmy that should have been theirs. ___36___ On the contrary, if left unmanaged it can create misery (不幸) for ourselves and others, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). This conclusion comes from research conducted on Olympic athletes. In a 1995 study, scholars studied the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. They examined the medalists both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台). ___37___ More recent research has looked at the life span (寿命) of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study tracked the average longevity of those representing the U. S. in the Olympic Games from 1904 to 1936. The results showed that the athletes whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by a solid (不间断的) four years, living to 76. But first prize went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation: “ ___38___ ” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser. This is because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists while the bronze winners compare themselves favourably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This hypothesis (假设) is based on a large body of literature (文献) showing the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like losers. ___39___ The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. More likely you will spend most of your time feeling like a silver medalist. ___40___ It would be much more advisable, then, to aim for healthy competition in which you do your best without expectation of being the absolute winner. The only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. A. Dissatisfactory competition results may negatively influence health. B. In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves, and thus happier. C. It is discovered that the bronze winners appeared happier on average than the silver medalists. D. Comparing our own circumstances with the unfortunate lot of others is a reliable path to general well-being. E. Although the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead to human flourishing (兴盛). F. You may be always longing, pinning your hope on a single outcome, but eventually ending up with failure and disappointment. G. People commonly feel bad about themselves after checking out the lives of others on social media who post only about their victories and celebrations. 【答案】36. E 37. C 38. A 39. B 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了竞争心态对人类幸福感和寿命的影响，通过奥运奖牌获得者的情绪反应和寿命研究，揭示了向上比较和向下比较对人们心理的不同影响，并给出了关于健康竞争的建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Humans are born and wired to compete with one another. Influencers compare how many “likes” they have on social media. Millionaires envy billionaires. Famous actors complain about the Oscar or Emmy that should have been theirs. (人类生来就具有相互竞争的天性。网红们比较自己在社交媒体上获得了多少“赞”。百万富翁羡慕亿万富翁。著名演员抱怨本应属于他们的奥斯卡或艾美奖。)”以及下文“On the contrary, if left unmanaged it can create misery (不幸) for ourselves and others, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). (相反，如果不加以管理，它至少会在幸福和长寿方面给自己和他人带来不幸。)”可知，上文描述了人类天生的竞争心态，以及这种心态在不同人群中的表现，下文转折指出竞争心态如果不加以管理会带来不幸，E选项“Although the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead to human flourishing (兴盛). (尽管竞争精神可能像呼吸空气一样自然，但它并不总是导致人类的繁荣兴盛)”既承接了上文关于竞争心态的描述，又引出了下文关于竞争心态可能带来的不幸的讨论，与上下文逻辑一致。故选E项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“In a 1995 study, scholars studied the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. They examined the medalists both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台). (在1995年的一项研究中，学者们研究了1992年夏季奥运会银牌和铜牌获得者的情绪反应。他们观察了奖牌获得者在比赛结束后和后来在领奖台上的情绪反应。)”以及下文“More recent research has looked at the life span (寿命) of all three medalist categories. (最近的研究则观察了所有三类奖牌获得者的寿命)”可知，上文描述了一项关于奥运奖牌获得者情绪反应的研究，下文引出了另一项关于奖牌获得者寿命的研究，C选项“It is discovered that the bronze winners appeared happier on average than the silver medalists. (研究发现，铜牌获得者平均比银牌获得者更快乐)”既承接了上文关于奖牌获得者情绪反应的研究，又与下文关于奖牌获得者寿命的研究形成了对比和补充。故选C项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“The study had a handy explanation: (这项研究有一个简便的解释：)”以及下文“In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser. This is because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists while the bronze winners compare themselves favourably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. (换句话说，银牌获得者认为自己是最先失败的人。这是因为他们仰望最高台阶，只与金牌获得者比较，而铜牌获得者则将自己与所有从未登上领奖台的人进行比较，从而对自己感觉良好)”可知，上文引出了研究对奖牌获得者情绪反应和寿命差异的解释，下文详细解释了银牌和铜牌获得者情绪反应差异的原因，A选项“Dissatisfactory competition results may negatively influence health. (不满意的竞争结果可能对健康产生负面影响。)”概括了研究对奖牌获得者情绪反应和寿命差异的解释，即不满意的竞争结果可能对健康产生负面影响。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“This hypothesis (假设) is based on a large body of literature (文献) showing the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like losers. (这个假设是基于大量文献，这些文献显示了向上社会比较和向下社会比较之间的差异。当我们与那些拥有更多金钱、权力或成就的人比较时，我们常常觉得自己是失败者)”以及下文“The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. (每天追求金牌的世俗幸福策略是愚蠢的)”可知，上文介绍了向上社会比较和向下社会比较的概念，以及向上社会比较可能带来的负面影响，下文对追求金牌（即向上社会比较)的策略提出了批评，B选项“In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves, and thus happier. (相比之下，向下比较会让人对自己感觉更好，从而更快乐。)”，既承接了上文关于向上社会比较和向下社会比较的讨论，又引出了下文对追求金牌策略的批评，强调了向下社会比较的积极影响。故选B项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. More likely, you will spend most of your time feeling like a silver medalist. (每天追求金牌的世俗幸福策略是愚蠢的。更有可能的是，你会大部分时间都感觉自己像是一个银牌获得者。)”以及下文“It would be much more advisable, then, to aim for healthy competition in which you do your best without expectation of being the absolute winner. The only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. (因此，更明智的做法是追求健康的竞争，在这种竞争中，你尽自己最大的努力，而不期望成为绝对的赢家。你唯一需要比较的人就是你自己)”可知，上文批评了追求金牌的策略，并指出这种策略可能让人大部分时间都感觉自己像是一个失败者，下文提出了关于健康竞争的建议，F选项“You may be always longing, pinning your hope on a single outcome, but eventually ending up with failure and disappointment. (你可能总是渴望，把你的希望寄托在一个单一的结果上，但最终却以失败和失望告终)”既承接了上文关于追求金牌策略可能带来的负面影响的讨论，又引出了下文关于健康竞争的建议，强调了过度追求单一结果可能带来的失败和失望。故选F项。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last week, I went to meet Dr Dean Nicolle, who has planted about 10,000 eucalypt (桉树) trees and mallees (桉树灌丛) since 1993. ___41___ Dean, we now have the Currency Creek Arboretum (金钱溪植物园), bringing Australia’s eucalypt species together for ___42___.

It was my first day at a new high school and the very day of soccer tryouts (选拔赛). Soccer is my life, played soccer, went to soccer games, and watched soccer on television with Mom and Dad. They even got me a magazine about soccer. We left very early in the morning, planning to be at our new home before classes began. If everything had gone perfectly, there would have been time for me to find my new classes, meet people, and even warm up before the tryouts. However, while we were driving to my new home, our car suddenly stopped working on the highway under the hot sun. We waited anxiously for two hours for a rescue, only to spend another two hours arranging for a rental car. The whole time, my heart was pounding with worry, afraid that I would miss the tryouts. Finally, we arrived at the new school. The moment I got out of the cat, I rushed towards the headmaster’s office to report, out of breath. “Oh, Tina I think you’re too late for the tryouts. Coach Turner said they’d end at 3 pm,” said Headmaster Morgan. She glanced up at the clock and shook her head, “They’re almost finished.” Feeling defeated, I bit my lower lip and held back tears. All of a sudden, I saw the latest soccer magazine in my backpack. At that moment, my favorite words from the magazine rang in my head good player never gives up, even when the game seems lost.” 注意： 1. 续写字数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “I’m so sorry, but our car broke down,” I explained to the headmaster. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Three minutes,” Coach Turner said, rolling a soccer ball toward me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： “I m so sorry, but our car broke down”, I explained to the headmaster. I know I’m late, but I’ve been playing soccer my whole life. “This means everything to me. Please give me a chance to show what I can do.” I stared at the headmaster and begged, holding onto a tiny hope. Headmaster Morgan looked hesitant at first, her brows furrowed. But seeing the determination in my eyes, she let out a sigh and picked up the phone. “Coach Turner? There’s a determined girl here.” My heart raced as Headmaster Morgan finally pointed outside. “Go to the field quickly!” “Three minutes,” Coach Turner said, rolling a soccer ball toward me. Without hesitation, I sprang into action. The wind rushed past my ears, and I could only hear the intense beating of my own heart. Sweat dripped down my neck as three defenders charged. I passed right, moved left, and then shot with my left foot. Finally, the ball flew over the goalkeeper’s hands, and went into the net. The coach’s eyes widened in surprise. I held my breath, waiting for his decision. “Welcome to the team,” Coach Turner announced, and I couldn’t help breaking into a huge smile. I knew it was my love for soccer that kept me from giving up. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家从圣路易斯搬来，开学日恰逢足球选拔赛。因车在高速抛锚，她迟到险些错过。向校长恳求后获得机会，三分钟内凭实力进球，成功加入球队，她明白是对足球的热爱让自己坚持到底。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘很抱歉，我们的车坏了。’我向校长解释道”可知，第一段可描写作者向校长解释并且恳求后获得机会。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘三分钟，’特纳教练边说边把一个足球滚向我”可知，第二段可描写作者三分钟内凭实力进球，成功加入球队，她明白是对足球的热爱让自己坚持到底。 2.续写线索：解释原因——恳求机会——给予机会——进球——拒绝——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/catch sight of ②放弃：give up/quit ③展示：show/display 情绪类 ①犹豫的：hesitant/ halting ②惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1] “This means everything to me.
