Physical books allow for better information retention as you can see the words and easily go back. Audiobooks, on the other hand, develop empathy as you hear the emotion of the narrator. Consider different formats to enhance your literary experience. V.

VI. Guided Writing （25分） 76.【参考答案】 Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow students from around the globe, As we stand on the brink of a new era, let us imagine the life we aspire to in 2050. Our social environment will witness profound transformations. Autonomous vehicles will dominate our roadways, reducing accidents and traffic congestion, while public transportation will become more efficient and eco-friendly. In health, personalized medicine and advanced diagnostics will enable early detection and treatment of diseases, leading to longer, healthier lives. Virtual reality will revolutionize education, making learning experiences immersive and accessible to all. In this future, I hope our lives are characterized by balance. With technology augmenting our capabilities, we should strive for work-life harmony, nurturing mental well-being and fostering stronger community ties. Let us aim for a world where technology empowers, rather than overwhelms, ensuring a future that is both progressive and humane.

Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal, to 21 (calculate) your household bills. But many fear the moment 22 they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem  daunting, but  this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability. The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be 23 (likely) to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31%of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got  tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is critical, especially 24 a young age”. She thinks the key is 25 (get) people, especially women, who love teaching maths to younger children. Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear 26 maths arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer — there’s no room for bluffing — 27   make you more worried about underperforming.” And 28 we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do. Psychologists 29 (try) to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen 30 control on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. Today’s children are exhausted, and not just because one in three kids is not getting enough sleep. Sleep deprivation in kids (who require at least nine hours a night, depending on age) has been found to 31 decrease academic achievement, lower intelligence test scores, slow physical growth, and 32 to moodiness and irritability. While the argument for protecting our children’s sleep time is convincing, there is another kind of rest that is 33 and beneficial to our children’s academic, emotional, and creative lives: daydreaming. Not all mental downtime (停工休息期) is alike, of course. Downtime spent playing a videogame or watching a television show may have its 34 , but the kind of downtime I am talking about is different. I’m talking about the kind of mind-wandering that happens when the brain is free of interruption and allowed to get rid of the 35 of the day. Television, video games, and other electronic 36 prevent this kind of mental wandering because they interrupt the flow of thoughts and memories that 37 the foundation of positive, productive daydreaming. There is, however, another way of looking at mind wandering. For the individual, mind wandering offers the possibility of very real, personal reward, some immediate, some more 38 . These rewards include self-awareness, memory consolidation, future planning, simulating the 39 of another person, evaluating the implications of self and others’ emotional reactions, moral reasoning. In other words, daydreaming only seems lazy from the outside, but viewed from the inside or from the perspective of a psychologist, such as Kaufman, or a neuroscientist, such as Mary Helen, a complicated and extremely 40 neurological process is taking place. Viewed from the inside, our children are exploring the only space where they truly have autonomy: their own minds. III. Reading Comprehension (41 – 55题，每题1分；56 – 70题，每题2分；共45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Is there anything nicer than a cooling ice cream on a hot summer’s day? This traditional treat is centuries old, but our tastes and consumer habits are 41 . How is the ice cream production process changing, and who is driving this 42 ? Making ice cream is a 43 process. While the recipe is 44 -milk, sugar and fat, plus flavors and colors-ice cream has a complex chemistry. Getting the 45 right between ice, fat and air is important if the ice cream is to have the right texture. To achieve this, the ingredients need to be mixed and heated, then cooled and frozen-a process that takes time and uses a lot of energy. Designers and engineers are working to 46 the production process with new specialized equipment to make it increasingly automated. For now, 47 , even with the help of robots and 3D printers, it can take up to two years from testing a new frozen dessert product to it being 48 to consumers. And demand is only going up. According to the food packaging company Tetra Pak, more than 25 billion litres of ice cream were eaten 49 in 2021. While the US and China are the biggest consumers, data from Nielsen IQ shows that people in the UK bought 28% more ice cream during the UK’s record-breaking summer compared to a year earlier. 50 , rising temperatures can explain why some people are buying more ice cream, but it’s not the only explanation. The pandemic has seen people 51 pleasures they can enjoy at home, which include eating indulgent (放纵的) foods. And worries about the cost-of-living crisis could have a 52 effect, as even a premium (高端的) ice cream is an affordable treat. So, what new things can we expect on a stick or in a cone? Consumers of all ages buy ice cream, but it is millennial consumers who are driving interest in more original flavors, including spices. Dairy still 53 , but plant-based ice cream, sorbets (雪糕) and low-calorie choices are a growing part of the frozen dessert market. But, according to Elsebeth Baungaard, portfolio manager (投资组合经理) at Tetra Pak, the next worldwide 54 will be less about innovation and more about portion size. “I’m sorry to say it’s simply 55 ,” she says. “But the quality will be higher.” 41．A．peaking B．evolving C．continuing D．surviving 42．A．growth B．investment C．expansion D．shift 43．A．labor-saving B．eye-catching C．time-consuming D．profit-making 44．A．simple B．secret C．special D．specific 45．A．link B．difference C．line D．balance 46．A．monitor B．improve C．investigate D．observe 47．A．therefore B．however C．likewise D．moreover 48．A．vital B．relevant C．available D．familiar 49．A．globally B．nationally C．regionally D．provincially 50．A．Luckily B．Hopefully C．Happily D．Clearly 51．A．reaching for B．seeing through C．looking into D．showing off 52．A．visual B．indirect C．similar D．dynamic 53．A．dominates B．survives C．arises D．spoils 54．A．issue B．scale C．basis D．trend 55．A．shrinking B．varying C．mattering D．lasting Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it, but I believe that I should do it. So several times a day, while working in our emergency department, I leave my patient’s bedside, get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up, before continuing on my day. Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient. It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want my family members taken care of. This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient. Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as a volunteer. The short story is that I broke my femur (大腿骨), the large bone in my hip, and my recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so. The surgeon who performed the last three operations usually did his rounds late at night. He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking Einstein. He would ask about my pain and my mental state, but what I remember most is his offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited. I felt that he cared about me and, more importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do. Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person. 56．According to the author, what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean? A．It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it. B．It gives him the power to order tests and treatments. C．It’s helpful to save a life when you are in trouble. D．It helps communicate his care towards his patients. 57．The author mentioned his own experience as a patient, which of the following is NOT his intention? A．Showing his gratitude for the surgeon B．Demonstrating his action of giving blankets C．Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patients D．Claiming the importance of patients’ trust toward doctors 58．What does the last sentence (paragraph 5) imply? A．The author felt regretful for not making connection with his patients by bringing them blankets. B．A good physician should understand patient’s needs. C．It’s important to communicate doctors’ care to their patients. D．The author failed as a person as he didn’t show his understanding for his patients’ needs. 59．The passage is manly about __________. A．emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patients B．emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patients C．emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heart D．emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship (B) Foster (寄养) Volunteer Application for Large Dogs We are currently seeking foster volunteers for large dogs (50 pounds and up) only. We are not accepting applications for cats or small animals at this time. As a foster volunteer, you will play a key role in providing care outside of the shelter environment.

A．John, a college graduate living in a peaceful community. B．Ellen, a pet owner expecting a dog weighing 35 pounds. C．Tommy, a homeless person looking for a job in volunteer services. D．Alice, a nurse living 65 miles from AHS shelters in Minnesota. 61．What can applicants expect to find in the video? A．Ways to submit the foster application.

(C) For companies who bottle pure mountain air, like one in Canada, dropping air quality is a business opportunity. For the rest of us, it’s a killer. While billions of people live in a fog of harmful airborne particles each day, the business of Vitality Air, which sells bottled Canadian mountain air, is booming. “Our Chinese website keeps crashing. We are getting orders from all over the country, not just the wealthier cities,” said Harrison Wang, China representative for Vitality Air. “When the air is bad, we see increase in sales.” While the company has sold 12,000 bottles of air from Canada’s national parks to Chinese people sick of the pollution that chokes many of the country’s cities, plenty of other nations are increasingly asking for clean air. The past week has also identified the cause for this smoggy malaise (难以捉摸的问题). The torching of fossil fuels has grown so quickly that the world is heading to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide beyond 400 parts per million — a level unseen in human history. Particles and chemicals released from power plants and vehicles are killing us as the CO₂ dissolves the Great Barrier Reef and helps rob Alaska of a winter. Indeed, if humans vanished tomorrow, our great contributions will not be non-hovering hover boards, but our pollution. Recent research concludes that on vast geological timescales, humans will leave behind just a layer of plastic and a blanket of planet-warming greenhouse gases. Cities, where most pollution dwells, are perhaps ahead of national governments in realizing the crisis we all now face. In the US, the Clean Air Act has lifted the smog from many large American metropolises and have banded with other urban areas from around the world to do more to tackle climate change. Paris has placed a monthly ban upon cars along the Champs-Elysee, while Santiago in Chile last year temporarily banned 40% of its 1.7m vehicles. But with more people dying from air pollution each year than malaria and HIV, it’s clear that far more needs to be done to clean up our cities, stem the flow of plastic into the environment and help rapidly growing economies exploit the sun and the wind, rather than coal, for their energy needs. Otherwise we will run out of places to bottle clean air from. 63．Which of the following statement about Vitality Air is TRUE? A．It sells bottled pure mountain air only to wealthy cities in China. B．The Canadian company profits by transporting national parks’ air to Chinese people. C．It is a technology company whose website keeps crashing. D．Its products cause serious environmental problems. 64．What is the root of the world’s air pollution problem? A．The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. B．The excessive burning of fossil fuels. C．The dissolving Great Barrier Reef. D．The trillions of tiny pieces plastic. 65．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Plenty of other nations were not able to buy clean bottled air from Vitality Air. B．Innovative technologies would be the consequence if humans disappeared on the earth. C．The warm winter in Alaska is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. D．National governments are working on the smoggy problem through a joint effort. 66．Which of the following is the best title? A．Bottled air: far from a silver bullet to air pollution B．Dropping air quality: the killer hunting all of us C．A global dilemma: pollution has both upsides and downsides D．An emergent call: we are running out of clean bottled air Section C Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Not All Waste Has to Go to Waste Most of the world’s 2.22 billion tons of annual trash ends up in landfills or open dumps. Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has created a solution to our massive trash problem: waste microfactories. There little trash processors — some as small as 500 square feet — house a series of machines that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with the new technology. 67 Sahajwalla launched the world’s first waste micro factory targeting electronic waste, or e-waste, in 2018 in Sydney. A second one began recycling plastics in 2019. Now, her lab group is working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented microfactory technology. 68 The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on location, avoiding the long, often international, high-emission treks between recycling processors and manufacturing plants. With a microfactory, gone are the days of needing separate facilities to collect and store materials, extract elements and produce new products. 69 Her invention evolves this idea by taking materials from an old product and creating something different. “The kids don’t look like the parents,” she says. For example, the microfactory can break down old smartphones and computer monitors and extract silica (from the glass) and carbon (from the plastic casing), and then combine them together. This generates a common material with many industrial uses. 70 In 2019, just 17.4 percent of e-waste was recycled, so they ability to re-form offers a crucial new development in the challenge recycling complex electronic devices. “We can do so much more with materials,” says Sahajwalla. A．Traditional recycling has not worked for every recycling challenge, especially the recycling of e-waste. B．She says the small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on renewable energy, unlike most large manufacturing plants. C．Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth R”, adding “re-form” to the common phrase “reduce, rouse, recycle.” D．Electronics contains various poisonous chemicals and materials that are released into the environments if they are not dealt with properly. E．The new all-in-one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust. F．Traditionally, recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products — like melting down plastic to make more plastic things. IV. Summary Writing (10分) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 71．Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Read with Eyes or Ears Picture yourself sitting at home in a quiet reading nook, ignoring the world around you, absorbed in a tale. You read the blurb, instantly became intrigued and now you’re in the middle of an absolute page-turner. But, there’s a hot debate-physical books vs. books vs. audiobooks. Does the device you’re using to read affect your reaction to the book? Generally, reading uses several areas of the brain. There’s attention span, reasoning, reading fluency, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social perception. So, whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits. But, let’s look at the pros to reading with your eyes-that’s physical books and e-books. They can help to retain information better. This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held more closely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders, which it likely will at some point or other. On the other hand, there’s the audiobook. Headphones in, you’re switched off from life and the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film-in your head. From a scientific perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a greater sense of empathy as you hear the emotion of the narrator. We can more easily understand inflection and intonation. Hearing the story engages different parts of the brain, heightening the intensity and imagery, making you enjoy it more. All in all, it seems that there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks. Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format. It may just change your whole literary experience. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal, to 21 (calculate) your household bills. But many fear the moment 22 they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem  daunting, but  this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability. The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be 23 (likely) to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31%of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got  tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is critical, especially 24 a young age”. She thinks the key is 25 (get) people, especially women, who love teaching maths to younger children. Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear 26 maths arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer — there’s no room for bluffing — 27   make you more worried about underperforming.” And 28 we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do. Psychologists 29 (try) to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen 30 control on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. Today’s children are exhausted, and not just because one in three kids is not getting enough sleep. Sleep deprivation in kids (who require at least nine hours a night, depending on age) has been found to 31 decrease academic achievement, lower intelligence test scores, slow physical growth, and 32 to moodiness and irritability. While the argument for protecting our children’s sleep time is convincing, there is another kind of rest that is 33 and beneficial to our children’s academic, emotional, and creative lives: daydreaming. Not all mental downtime (停工休息期) is alike, of course. Downtime spent playing a videogame or watching a television show may have its 34 , but the kind of downtime I am talking about is different. I’m talking about the kind of mind-wandering that happens when the brain is free of interruption and allowed to get rid of the 35 of the day. Television, video games, and other electronic 36 prevent this kind of mental wandering because they interrupt the flow of thoughts and memories that 37 the foundation of positive, productive daydreaming. There is, however, another way of looking at mind wandering. For the individual, mind wandering offers the possibility of very real, personal reward, some immediate, some more 38 . These rewards include self-awareness, memory consolidation, future planning, simulating the 39 of another person, evaluating the implications of self and others’ emotional reactions, moral reasoning. In other words, daydreaming only seems lazy from the outside, but viewed from the inside or from the perspective of a psychologist, such as Kaufman, or a neuroscientist, such as Mary Helen, a complicated and extremely 40 neurological process is taking place. Viewed from the inside, our children are exploring the only space where they truly have autonomy: their own minds. III. Reading Comprehension (41 – 55题，每题1分；56 – 70题，每题2分；共45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Is there anything nicer than a cooling ice cream on a hot summer’s day? This traditional treat is centuries old, but our tastes and consumer habits are 41 . How is the ice cream production process changing, and who is driving this 42 ? Making ice cream is a 43 process. While the recipe is 44 -milk, sugar and fat, plus flavors and colors-ice cream has a complex chemistry. Getting the 45 right between ice, fat and air is important if the ice cream is to have the right texture. To achieve this, the ingredients need to be mixed and heated, then cooled and frozen-a process that takes time and uses a lot of energy. Designers and engineers are working to 46 the production process with new specialized equipment to make it increasingly automated. For now, 47 , even with the help of robots and 3D printers, it can take up to two years from testing a new frozen dessert product to it being 48 to consumers. And demand is only going up. According to the food packaging company Tetra Pak, more than 25 billion litres of ice cream were eaten 49 in 2021. While the US and China are the biggest consumers, data from Nielsen IQ shows that people in the UK bought 28% more ice cream during the UK’s record-breaking summer compared to a year earlier. 50 , rising temperatures can explain why some people are buying more ice cream, but it’s not the only explanation. The pandemic has seen people 51 pleasures they can enjoy at home, which include eating indulgent (放纵的) foods. And worries about the cost-of-living crisis could have a 52 effect, as even a premium (高端的) ice cream is an affordable treat. So, what new things can we expect on a stick or in a cone? Consumers of all ages buy ice cream, but it is millennial consumers who are driving interest in more original flavors, including spices. Dairy still 53 , but plant-based ice cream, sorbets (雪糕) and low-calorie choices are a growing part of the frozen dessert market. But, according to Elsebeth Baungaard, portfolio manager (投资组合经理) at Tetra Pak, the next worldwide 54 will be less about innovation and more about portion size. “I’m sorry to say it’s simply 55 ,” she says. “But the quality will be higher.” 41．A．peaking B．evolving C．continuing D．surviving 42．A．growth B．investment C．expansion D．shift 43．A．labor-saving B．eye-catching C．time-consuming D．profit-making 44．A．simple B．secret C．special D．specific 45．A．link B．difference C．line D．balance 46．A．monitor B．improve C．investigate D．observe 47．A．therefore B．however C．likewise D．moreover 48．A．vital B．relevant C．available D．familiar 49．A．globally B．nationally C．regionally D．provincially 50．A．Luckily B．Hopefully C．Happily D．Clearly 51．A．reaching for B．seeing through C．looking into D．showing off 52．A．visual B．indirect C．similar D．dynamic 53．A．dominates B．survives C．arises D．spoils 54．A．issue B．scale C．basis D．trend 55．A．shrinking B．varying C．mattering D．lasting Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it, but I believe that I should do it. So several times a day, while working in our emergency department, I leave my patient’s bedside, get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up, before continuing on my day. Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient. It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want my family members taken care of. This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient. Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as a volunteer. The short story is that I broke my femur (大腿骨), the large bone in my hip, and my recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so. The surgeon who performed the last three operations usually did his rounds late at night. He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking Einstein. He would ask about my pain and my mental state, but what I remember most is his offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited. I felt that he cared about me and, more importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do. Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person. 56．According to the author, what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean? A．It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it. B．It gives him the power to order tests and treatments. C．It’s helpful to save a life when you are in trouble. D．It helps communicate his care towards his patients. 57．The author mentioned his own experience as a patient, which of the following is NOT his intention? A．Showing his gratitude for the surgeon B．Demonstrating his action of giving blankets C．Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patients D．Claiming the importance of patients’ trust toward doctors 58．What does the last sentence (paragraph 5) imply? A．The author felt regretful for not making connection with his patients by bringing them blankets. B．A good physician should understand patient’s needs. C．It’s important to communicate doctors’ care to their patients. D．The author failed as a person as he didn’t show his understanding for his patients’ needs. 59．The passage is manly about __________. A．emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patients B．emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patients C．emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heart D．emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship (B) Foster (寄养) Volunteer Application for Large Dogs We are currently seeking foster volunteers for large dogs (50 pounds and up) only. We are not accepting applications for cats or small animals at this time. As a foster volunteer, you will play a key role in providing care outside of the shelter environment.

(C) For companies who bottle pure mountain air, like one in Canada, dropping air quality is a business opportunity. For the rest of us, it’s a killer. While billions of people live in a fog of harmful airborne particles each day, the business of Vitality Air, which sells bottled Canadian mountain air, is booming. “Our Chinese website keeps crashing. We are getting orders from all over the country, not just the wealthier cities,” said Harrison Wang, China representative for Vitality Air. “When the air is bad, we see increase in sales.” While the company has sold 12,000 bottles of air from Canada’s national parks to Chinese people sick of the pollution that chokes many of the country’s cities, plenty of other nations are increasingly asking for clean air. The past week has also identified the cause for this smoggy malaise (难以捉摸的问题). The torching of fossil fuels has grown so quickly that the world is heading to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide beyond 400 parts per million — a level unseen in human history. Particles and chemicals released from power plants and vehicles are killing us as the CO₂ dissolves the Great Barrier Reef and helps rob Alaska of a winter. Indeed, if humans vanished tomorrow, our great contributions will not be non-hovering hover boards, but our pollution. Recent research concludes that on vast geological timescales, humans will leave behind just a layer of plastic and a blanket of planet-warming greenhouse gases. Cities, where most pollution dwells, are perhaps ahead of national governments in realizing the crisis we all now face. In the US, the Clean Air Act has lifted the smog from many large American metropolises and have banded with other urban areas from around the world to do more to tackle climate change. Paris has placed a monthly ban upon cars along the Champs-Elysee, while Santiago in Chile last year temporarily banned 40% of its 1.7m vehicles. But with more people dying from air pollution each year than malaria and HIV, it’s clear that far more needs to be done to clean up our cities, stem the flow of plastic into the environment and help rapidly growing economies exploit the sun and the wind, rather than coal, for their energy needs. Otherwise we will run out of places to bottle clean air from. 63．Which of the following statement about Vitality Air is TRUE? A．It sells bottled pure mountain air only to wealthy cities in China. B．The Canadian company profits by transporting national parks’ air to Chinese people. C．It is a technology company whose website keeps crashing. D．Its products cause serious environmental problems. 64．What is the root of the world’s air pollution problem? A．The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. B．The excessive burning of fossil fuels. C．The dissolving Great Barrier Reef. D．The trillions of tiny pieces plastic. 65．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Plenty of other nations were not able to buy clean bottled air from Vitality Air. B．Innovative technologies would be the consequence if humans disappeared on the earth. C．The warm winter in Alaska is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. D．National governments are working on the smoggy problem through a joint effort. 66．Which of the following is the best title? A．Bottled air: far from a silver bullet to air pollution B．Dropping air quality: the killer hunting all of us C．A global dilemma: pollution has both upsides and downsides D．An emergent call: we are running out of clean bottled air Section C Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Not All Waste Has to Go to Waste Most of the world’s 2.22 billion tons of annual trash ends up in landfills or open dumps. Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has created a solution to our massive trash problem: waste microfactories. There little trash processors — some as small as 500 square feet — house a series of machines that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with the new technology. 67 Sahajwalla launched the world’s first waste micro factory targeting electronic waste, or e-waste, in 2018 in Sydney. A second one began recycling plastics in 2019. Now, her lab group is working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented microfactory technology. 68 The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on location, avoiding the long, often international, high-emission treks between recycling processors and manufacturing plants. With a microfactory, gone are the days of needing separate facilities to collect and store materials, extract elements and produce new products. 69 Her invention evolves this idea by taking materials from an old product and creating something different. “The kids don’t look like the parents,” she says. For example, the microfactory can break down old smartphones and computer monitors and extract silica (from the glass) and carbon (from the plastic casing), and then combine them together. This generates a common material with many industrial uses. 70 In 2019, just 17.4 percent of e-waste was recycled, so they ability to re-form offers a crucial new development in the challenge recycling complex electronic devices. “We can do so much more with materials,” says Sahajwalla. A．Traditional recycling has not worked for every recycling challenge, especially the recycling of e-waste. B．She says the small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on renewable energy, unlike most large manufacturing plants. C．Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth R”, adding “re-form” to the common phrase “reduce, rouse, recycle.” D．Electronics contains various poisonous chemicals and materials that are released into the environments if they are not dealt with properly. E．The new all-in-one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust. F．Traditionally, recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products — like melting down plastic to make more plastic things. IV. Summary Writing (10分) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 71．Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Read with Eyes or Ears Picture yourself sitting at home in a quiet reading nook, ignoring the world around you, absorbed in a tale. You read the blurb, instantly became intrigued and now you’re in the middle of an absolute page-turner. But, there’s a hot debate-physical books vs. books vs. audiobooks. Does the device you’re using to read affect your reaction to the book? Generally, reading uses several areas of the brain. There’s attention span, reasoning, reading fluency, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social perception. So, whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits. But, let’s look at the pros to reading with your eyes-that’s physical books and e-books. They can help to retain information better. This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held more closely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders, which it likely will at some point or other. On the other hand, there’s the audiobook. Headphones in, you’re switched off from life and the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film-in your head. From a scientific perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a greater sense of empathy as you hear the emotion of the narrator. We can more easily understand inflection and intonation. Hearing the story engages different parts of the brain, heightening the intensity and imagery, making you enjoy it more. All in all, it seems that there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks. Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format. It may just change your whole literary experience. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Researchers at Imperial College London and the World Health Organization studied the lifespans of people in 35 industrialized countries. Their findings suggest that by 2030 people will be living longer. It also says the gap between men and women could start to close in most countries. According to the study, the increase in life expectancy was caused by decreases in deaths from infections and long-term diseases in children and adults. The study says gains in life expectancy are a result of economic improvements. These games have led to improved use, nutrition, increased access to primary and secondary health care and the development of new medical technologies. The US is behind other developed countries. Americans continue to have one of the lower life expectancies among developed countries. The writers of the study said life expectancy increases were smaller partly because of a lack of universal healthcare in the United States. The study also said problems such as relatively high death rates in children and high rates of obesity were to blame. In other words, most people are too fat. The study said that with longer life expectancy, there will also be new pressures on health and social services. The number of people needing long term care in their old age will increase, which will put stress on available facilities given this care. The study suggests that either more facilities will need to be built or healthcare may need to be provided at home. There will also be additional pressure on pensions and social security. These are programs that provide money to people after they retire from work. With people living longer, they will require more pension and social security payments than earlier generations. The study suggests that either the retirement age will need to be increased, or plans will need to put in place to transition workers to retirement at a later age. Question 11: Which group will probably be the first to live beyond 90 years old? Question 12: Which is not a factor leading to a lower life expectancy in the US? Question 13: What can be done to deal with the pressures on health services? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. 14．A．Suggestions on how to think up great ideas. B．Proposals of how to set up your own business. C．Tips on how to be a successful businessman. D．Ideas about how to treat your customers. 15．A．Because your chances of success will be increased. B．Because your business idea will be more creative. C．Because it will help decide whether to pursue the idea. D．Because you can’t do your work without business learning. 16．A．They enter the market with their eyes open. B．They believe the more failures, the better. C．They were born to be great risk takers. D．They do a careful study to ensure their success. 【答案】14．C 15．A 16．D 【原文】      Today, I want to talk about how to be an entrepreneur. In other words, a great businessman. In fact, many people are amazed with how the entrepreneurs mind works. How does an entrepreneur become successful? The following tips may be useful to you. One, you need to think up great ideas. You have to research if your business idea is feasible. After gathering all the needed information, you can now decide if you will pursue the business idea or do it in the future. Besides, you can’t work your way to success if you don’t know some concepts, such as return on an investment, speed of business returns, and many others. So having the proper educational background will help you a lot in succeeding in the business world. Two, be a risk taker. Most entrepreneurs are not afraid to take risks. This does not mean that entrepreneurs enter the market with their eyes closed, hoping for success. Entrepreneurs are willing to take risks, especially if after a careful study, they can see high chances of success. On the other hand, an entrepreneur learns a lot from past failures. It’s all part of life, and so you should not be scared. Three, be friendly and genuine to your customers. If you can build goodwill and you can win the trust of your customers and subscribers, your business will surely succeed. If you have these qualities, then you’re on your way to becoming a successful entrepreneur. You can choose between online internet businesses, or you can start by putting up a business in your local area. Questions 14. What does the speaker mainly talk about? 15. Why is it important to continue your business related learning? 16. Why are entrepreneurs willing to take risks? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. 17．A．Beautiful scenery in the countryside. B．Cross-country skiing. C．Dangers of winter sports. D．Pain and pleasure in sports. 18．A．He can’t find good examples to illustrate his point. B．He can’t find a peaceful place to do the assignment. C．He can’t decide whether to include the effort part of skiing. D．He doesn’t know how to describe the beautiful country scenery. 19．A．New ideas come up as you write. B．Much time is spent on collecting data. C．It’s hard to find a proper topic. D．The writer’s point of view often changes. 20．A．How to revise a paper in an academic manner. B．How to polish your arguments in a paper. C．How to tell the main ideas in a paper effectively. D．How to decide on relevant content for a paper. 【答案】17．B 18．C 19．A 20．D 【原文】Tony: Hello, Professor Jones. Professor Jones: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today? Tony: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn’t coming up right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me, one I take part in。 Professor Jones: What sport did you choose? Tony: I decided to write about cross country skiing. Professor Jones: What are you going to say about skiing? Tony: That’s the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country. Professor Jones: So why is that a problem? Tony: As I started describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods, I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross country skiing isn’t as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that’s not part of my paper. So I guess I should leave it out. But now I don’t know how to explain the feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It’s not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds rolling by. That’s different. Professor Jones: Then you’ll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of a point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered, as he wrote. That’s common, right? Tony: Yeah, I guess so. Questions 17. What is the topic of the man’s writing assignment? 18. What problem does the man have while working on this paper? 19. What does the woman say is common in writing papers? 20. What is the conversation mainly about? II. Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal, to 21 (calculate) your household bills. But many fear the moment 22 they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem  daunting, but  this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability. The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be 23 (likely) to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31%of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got  tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is critical, especially 24 a young age”. She thinks the key is 25 (get) people, especially women, who love teaching maths to younger children. Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear 26 maths arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer — there’s no room for bluffing — 27   make you more worried about underperforming.” And 28 we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do. Psychologists 29 (try) to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen 30 control on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. 【答案】 21．calculating 22．when 23．more likely 24．at 25．to get 26．why 27．may/can/could/might 28．once 29．have been trying 30．their 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章提到“数学焦虑”完全是正常现象并且指出了对数学产生恐惧的原因和解决办法。 21．考查非谓语动词。句意：数学无处不在，从计算餐后如何分摊账单，到计算你的家庭账单。根据空格前的介词to可知，空格处应该用动名词calculating作宾语。故填calculating。 22．考查定语从句。句意：但许多人害怕当他们不得不与数字和数字打交道时，感到真正的担忧和困惑。空格处引导定语从句，对先行词the moment进行限定说明，先行词在从句中作时间状语，应该用关系副词when引导从句。故填when。 23．考查形容词比较级。句意：研究发现，在教授这门学科时感到紧张的数学老师会将他们的焦虑传递给学生，而女孩更可能容易受到影响。根据句中的girls可知，此处暗含着“女孩子和男孩子比较”，应该表示“更可能”，所以应该用比较级more likely。故填more likely。 24．考查介词。句意：波士顿大学凯斯特罗姆商学院的Shulamit Kahn告诉BBC，她认为给予学生，尤其是女孩，良好的榜样“是至关重要的，尤其是在年幼的时候”。根据空格后的名词age可知，此处应该用介词at与其搭配，at a young age“在年轻时”是固定搭配。故填at。 25．考查非谓语动词。句意：她认为关键在于吸引那些喜欢教小孩数学的人，尤其是女性。根据空格前的名词key可知，空格处应用不定式形式to get作表语。故填to get。 26．考查连接副词。句意：目前还不清楚为什么数学比地理更令人恐惧。句中的it是形式主语，真正的主语是空格后的从句，所以空格处应该用连接词引导主语从句，且意义为“为什么”，所以用连接副词why。故填why。 27．考查情态动词。句意：但事实是，有正确或错误的答案——没有诈唬的余地——可能会让你更担心表现不佳。根据句意和空格后的动词原形make可知，空格处应该用情态动词且意义为“可能”，所以用can/may/could/might(could和might只表示这种可能性更小)。故填can/may/could/might。 28．考查连词。句意：一旦我们假设我们不是一个“数学人”，我们就会避免解决那些我们可能会做的事情。根据句意和空格后的句子可知，空格处应该用连词引导条件状语从句，且意义为“一旦”，所以用连词once。故填once。 29．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：心理学家一直在试图弄清楚为什么心算能让我们大汗淋漓。此处表示“一直……”应该用现在完成进行时，主语是复数形式，助动词用have。故填have been trying。 30．考查形容词性物主代词。句意：恐惧的种子可能有很多来源，但有些人认为，表达你的恐惧可以放松他们对你的控制，鼓励孩子们把数学考试视为挑战，而不是威胁。空格处作定语，修饰空格后的名词control，且代指上文的fears，所以应该用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。 【点睛】 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. Today’s children are exhausted, and not just because one in three kids is not getting enough sleep. Sleep deprivation in kids (who require at least nine hours a night, depending on age) has been found to 31 decrease academic achievement, lower intelligence test scores, slow physical growth, and 32 to moodiness and irritability. While the argument for protecting our children’s sleep time is convincing, there is another kind of rest that is 33 and beneficial to our children’s academic, emotional, and creative lives: daydreaming. Not all mental downtime (停工休息期) is alike, of course. Downtime spent playing a videogame or watching a television show may have its 34 , but the kind of downtime I am talking about is different. I’m talking about the kind of mind-wandering that happens when the brain is free of interruption and allowed to get rid of the 35 of the day. Television, video games, and other electronic 36 prevent this kind of mental wandering because they interrupt the flow of thoughts and memories that 37 the foundation of positive, productive daydreaming. There is, however, another way of looking at mind wandering. For the individual, mind wandering offers the possibility of very real, personal reward, some immediate, some more 38 . These rewards include self-awareness, memory consolidation, future planning, simulating the 39 of another person, evaluating the implications of self and others’ emotional reactions, moral reasoning. In other words, daydreaming only seems lazy from the outside, but viewed from the inside or from the perspective of a psychologist, such as Kaufman, or a neuroscientist, such as Mary Helen, a complicated and extremely 40 neurological process is taking place. Viewed from the inside, our children are exploring the only space where they truly have autonomy: their own minds. 【答案】 31．E 32．H 33．K 34．C 35．A 36．B 37．J 38．G 39．D 40．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。如今的孩子疲惫不堪，这不仅仅是因为三分之一的孩子睡眠不足。睡眠不足会显著降低学习成绩，降低智力测试分数，减缓身体发育，并导致喜怒无常和易怒。虽然保护孩子睡眠时间的理由很有说服力，但还有一种休息方式：白日梦，被低估了，它对孩子的学习、情感和创造生活都有好处。 31．考查副词。句意：儿童（根据年龄不同每晚至少需要9个小时的睡眠）睡眠不足会显著降低学习成绩，降低智力测试分数，减缓身体发育，并导致喜怒无常和易怒。修饰动词decrease，结合句意表示“显著”应用significantly。故选E。 32．考查动词。句意：儿童（根据年龄不同每晚至少需要9个小时的睡眠）睡眠不足会显著降低学习成绩，降低智力测试分数，减缓身体发育，并导致喜怒无常和易怒。结合句意表示“导致”可知，短语为contribute to，且与上文decrease构成并列结构，应填原形。故选H。 33．考查动词。句意：虽然保护孩子睡眠时间的理由很有说服力，但还有一种休息方式：白日梦，被低估了，它对孩子的学习、情感和创造生活都有好处：白日梦。结合句意表示“低估”，应用动词underestimate，结合上文is可知，此处为一般现在时的被动语态。故选K。 34．考查名词。句意：休息时间花在玩电子游戏或看电视节目可能有它的魅力，但我所说的那种休息时间是不同的。作宾语，结合句意表示“魅力”，应填复数名词charms。故选C。 35．考查名词。句意：我说的是当大脑不受干扰，可以摆脱一天的烦恼时，就会发生的那种走神。作宾语，结合句意表示“烦恼”可知，应填复数名词worries。故选A。 36．考查名词。句意：电视、电子游戏和其他电子干扰物阻止了这种精神漫游，因为它们中断了加强积极、富有成效的白日梦基础的思想和记忆的流动。作主语，表示“干扰物”，应用名词distraction，由other修饰，应用复数形式。故选B。 37．考查动词。句意：电视、电子游戏和其他电子干扰物阻止了这种精神漫游，因为它们中断了加强积极、富有成效的白日梦基础的思想和记忆的流动。结合语境表示“加强”，应用动词strengthen，定语从句谓语与先行词memories保持一致，谓语用原形。故选J。 38．考查形容词。句意：对个人而言，走神提供了非常真实的个人回报的可能性，有些是即时的，有些则是遥远的。结合句意表示“遥远的”，应填形容词distant。故选G。 39．考查名词。句意：这些奖励包括自我意识、记忆巩固、未来规划、模仿他人的视角、评估自我和他人情绪反应的影响、道德推理。作宾语，结合句意表示“视角”，应用名词perspective。故选D。 40．考查形容词。句意：换句话说，做白日梦只是从外表上看显得懒惰，但从内部或从心理学家（如考夫曼）或神经学家（如玛丽·海伦）的角度来看，一个复杂而又极其多产的神经过程正在发生。结合句意表示“多产的”可知应填形容词productive，作定语。故选F。 III. Reading Comprehension (41 – 55题，每题1分；56 – 70题，每题2分；共45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Is there anything nicer than a cooling ice cream on a hot summer’s day? This traditional treat is centuries old, but our tastes and consumer habits are 41 . How is the ice cream production process changing, and who is driving this 42 ? Making ice cream is a 43 process. While the recipe is 44 -milk, sugar and fat, plus flavors and colors-ice cream has a complex chemistry. Getting the 45 right between ice, fat and air is important if the ice cream is to have the right texture. To achieve this, the ingredients need to be mixed and heated, then cooled and frozen-a process that takes time and uses a lot of energy. Designers and engineers are working to 46 the production process with new specialized equipment to make it increasingly automated. For now, 47 , even with the help of robots and 3D printers, it can take up to two years from testing a new frozen dessert product to it being 48 to consumers. And demand is only going up. According to the food packaging company Tetra Pak, more than 25 billion litres of ice cream were eaten 49 in 2021. While the US and China are the biggest consumers, data from Nielsen IQ shows that people in the UK bought 28% more ice cream during the UK’s record-breaking summer compared to a year earlier. 50 , rising temperatures can explain why some people are buying more ice cream, but it’s not the only explanation. The pandemic has seen people 51 pleasures they can enjoy at home, which include eating indulgent (放纵的) foods. And worries about the cost-of-living crisis could have a 52 effect, as even a premium (高端的) ice cream is an affordable treat. So, what new things can we expect on a stick or in a cone? Consumers of all ages buy ice cream, but it is millennial consumers who are driving interest in more original flavors, including spices. Dairy still 53 , but plant-based ice cream, sorbets (雪糕) and low-calorie choices are a growing part of the frozen dessert market. But, according to Elsebeth Baungaard, portfolio manager (投资组合经理) at Tetra Pak, the next worldwide 54 will be less about innovation and more about portion size. “I’m sorry to say it’s simply 55 ,” she says. “But the quality will be higher.” 41．A．peaking B．evolving C．continuing D．surviving 42．A．growth B．investment C．expansion D．shift 43．A．labor-saving B．eye-catching C．time-consuming D．profit-making 44．A．simple B．secret C．special D．specific 45．A．link B．difference C．line D．balance 46．A．monitor B．improve C．investigate D．observe 47．A．therefore B．however C．likewise D．moreover 48．A．vital B．relevant C．available D．familiar 49．A．globally B．nationally C．regionally D．provincially 50．A．Luckily B．Hopefully C．Happily D．Clearly 51．A．reaching for B．seeing through C．looking into D．showing off 52．A．visual B．indirect C．similar D．dynamic 53．A．dominates B．survives C．arises D．spoils 54．A．issue B．scale C．basis D．trend 55．A．shrinking B．varying C．mattering D．lasting 【答案】 41．B 42．D 43．C 44．A 45．D 46．B 47．B 48．C 49．A 50．D 51．A 52．C 53．A 54．D 55．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了冰淇淋生产过程的演变、消费者需求的变化以及冰淇淋市场的新趋势。 41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这种传统美食已经有几个世纪的历史了，但我们的口味和消费习惯正在演变。A. peaking达到顶峰；B. evolving逐渐演变；C. continuing继续；D. surviving幸存。根据下文“How is the ice cream production process changing”可推测，冰淇淋一直在变化，口味和消费习惯，包括生产过程都在演变。故选B。 42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：冰淇淋生产过程发生了怎样的变化，谁在推动这一转变？A. growth增长；B. investment投资；C. expansion扩张；D. shift转变。根据上文“How is the ice cream production process changing”可推测，空处指的是上文提到的冰淇淋的转变。故选D。 43．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：制作冰淇淋是一个耗时的过程。A. labor-saving省力的；B. eye-catching引人注目的；C. time-consuming耗时的；D. profit-making盈利的。根据下文“To achieve this, the ingredients need to be mixed and heated, then cooled and frozen-a process that takes time and uses a lot of energy.”可知，制作冰淇淋非常耗时。故选C。 44．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：尽管配方简单——牛奶、糖和脂肪，再加上各种口味和颜色——但冰淇淋的化学成分却相当复杂。A. simple简单的；B. secret秘密的；C. special特别的；D. specific具体的。根据下文“milk, sugar and fat, plus flavors and colors”可知，冰淇淋的配方很简单。故选A。 45．考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果要做出口感好的冰淇淋，在冰、脂肪和空气之间取得合适的平衡是很重要的。A. link联系；B. difference差异；C. line行、线；D. balance平衡。根据下文“if the ice cream is to have the right texture”以及下文“To achieve this, the ingredients need to be mixed and heated, then cooled and frozen-a process that takes time and uses a lot of energy.”可知，冰、脂肪和空气之间要取得合适的平衡。故选D。 46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：设计师和工程师们正在通过研发新型专用设备来改进生产流程，使其日益自动化。A. monitor监控；B. improve改进；C. investigate调查；D. observe观察、庆祝。根据下文“to make it increasingly automated”可知，新型专用设备是为了改进生产流程。故选B。 47．考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，就目前而言，即使在机器人和3D打印机的帮助下，从测试一种新的冷冻甜品到其上市供消费者购买，也可能需要长达两年的时间。A. therefore因此；B. however然而；C. likewise同样地；D. moreover而且。根据句意可知，上文提到设计师和工程师们正在通过研发新型专用设备来改进生产流程，使其日益自动化。而下文“with the help of robots and 3D printers, it can take up to two years from testing a new frozen dessert product to it being  ___8___  to consumers.”与上文存在转折关系。故选B。 48．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：然而，就目前而言，即使在机器人和3D打印机的帮助下，从测试一种新的冷冻甜品到其上市供消费者购买，也可能需要长达两年的时间。A. vital至关重要的；B. relevant相关的；C. available可用的；D. familiar熟悉的。根据空后的“to consumers”以及常识可知，新品冰淇淋从测试到上市供消费者购买需要很久。故选C。 49．考查副词词义辨析。句意：据食品包装公司利乐公司（Tetra Pak）统计，2021年全球冰淇淋消费量超过250亿升。A. globally全球地；B. nationally全国地；C. regionally地区性地；D. provincially全省地。根据下文所举的国家“While the US and China are the biggest consumers, data from Nielsen IQ shows that people in the UK bought 28% more ice cream during the UK’s record-breaking summer compared to a year earlier.”可知，消费数据来自全球。故选A。 50．考查副词词义辨析。句意：显然，气温上升可以解释为什么有些人会购买更多的冰淇淋，但这并非唯一原因。A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it, but I believe that I should do it. So several times a day, while working in our emergency department, I leave my patient’s bedside, get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up, before continuing on my day. Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient. It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want my family members taken care of. This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient. Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as a volunteer. The short story is that I broke my femur (大腿骨), the large bone in my hip, and my recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so. The surgeon who performed the last three operations usually did his rounds late at night. He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking Einstein. He would ask about my pain and my mental state, but what I remember most is his offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited. I felt that he cared about me and, more importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do. Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person. 56．According to the author, what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean? A．It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it. B．It gives him the power to order tests and treatments. C．It’s helpful to save a life when you are in trouble. D．It helps communicate his care towards his patients. 57．The author mentioned his own experience as a patient, which of the following is NOT his intention? A．Showing his gratitude for the surgeon B．Demonstrating his action of giving blankets C．Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patients D．Claiming the importance of patients’ trust toward doctors 58．What does the last sentence (paragraph 5) imply? A．The author felt regretful for not making connection with his patients by bringing them blankets. B．A good physician should understand patient’s needs. C．It’s important to communicate doctors’ care to their patients. D．The author failed as a person as he didn’t show his understanding for his patients’ needs. 59．The passage is manly about __________. A．emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patients B．emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patients C．emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heart D．emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship 【答案】56．D 57．D 58．C 59．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作为一名医生，作者经常给有需要的病人准备一条毯子。这是因为作者在一次生病的时候，受到了 David医生的细心照料和关心，所以在作者当了医生以后，他也尽量为病人着想，理解他们的需求。 56．推理判断题。根据第二段“Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient.(这让我回到了为什么我认为我应该给我的病人带一条毯子。对我来说，这是与他人沟通的第一步，我的首要任务是他或她的身体和情感上的舒适。这是一个简单的举动，表达了我作为病人满足他们基本需求的愿望)”可知，根据作者的观点，给病人发放毯子的行为意味着传达他对病人的关心。故选D。 57．细节理解题。根据第四段“I felt that he cared about me and, more importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do.(我觉得他关心我，更重要的是，他理解我的感受。他与我建立了联系，我信任并服从了他让我做的一切)”可知，A选项“表达对外科医生的感激之情”属于意图；根据第二段“This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient.(当我还是病人的时候，这种行为也是我的榜样)”可知，B选项“解释他给毛毯的行为”属于意图；根据第二段“Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional.(这让我回到了为什么我认为我应该给我的病人带一条毯子。对我来说，这是与他人沟通的第一步，我的首要任务是他或她的身体和情感上的舒适)”可知，C选项“暗示类似于给病人送薯条和送毯子的功能”属于意图；D选项没有提及，故选D。 58．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.(但最终，如果我没有和我的病人建立这种联系，如果我没有向他们展示我理解他们的需求，那么我就辜负了他们作为一个医生和一个人的期望)”可知，如果作者没有和他的病人建立联系，如果作者没有向病人表明他理解他们的需求，那么作者就觉得自己辜负了病人，无论是作为一名医生，还是作为一个人。换言之，作者认为要与病人建立联系，要向病人表明理解他们的需求，即把医生的关怀传达给病人是很重要的。即最后一句暗示向病人传达医生的护理很重要。故选C。 59．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.(拿条毯子给我的病人盖上，最终对我来说是一种制衡。我有权安排数百项检查和治疗。我努力做到永远正确（或者至少从不犯错）。在不太罕见的情况下，我帮助拯救了一条生命。但最终，如果我没有和我的病人建立这种联系，如果我没有向他们展示我理解他们的需求，那么我就辜负了他们作为一个医生和一个人的期望)”以及文章讲述了作为一名医生，作者经常给有需要的病人准备一条毯子。这是因为作者在一次生病的时候，受到了 David医生的细心照料和关心，所以在作者当了医生以后，他也尽量为病人着想，理解他们的需求。可知，这篇文章强调了真诚照顾和理解病人的重要性。故选A。 (B) Foster (寄养) Volunteer Application for Large Dogs We are currently seeking foster volunteers for large dogs (50 pounds and up) only.

For the rest of us, it’s a killer. While billions of people live in a fog of harmful airborne particles each day, the business of Vitality Air, which sells bottled Canadian mountain air, is booming. “Our Chinese website keeps crashing. We are getting orders from all over the country, not just the wealthier cities,” said Harrison Wang, China representative for Vitality Air. “When the air is bad, we see increase in sales.” While the company has sold 12,000 bottles of air from Canada’s national parks to Chinese people sick of the pollution that chokes many of the country’s cities, plenty of other nations are increasingly asking for clean air. The past week has also identified the cause for this smoggy malaise (难以捉摸的问题). The torching of fossil fuels has grown so quickly that the world is heading to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide beyond 400 parts per million — a level unseen in human history. Particles and chemicals released from power plants and vehicles are killing us as the CO₂ dissolves the Great Barrier Reef and helps rob Alaska of a winter. Indeed, if humans vanished tomorrow, our great contributions will not be non-hovering hover boards, but our pollution. Recent research concludes that on vast geological timescales, humans will leave behind just a layer of plastic and a blanket of planet-warming greenhouse gases. Cities, where most pollution dwells, are perhaps ahead of national governments in realizing the crisis we all now face. In the US, the Clean Air Act has lifted the smog from many large American metropolises and have banded with other urban areas from around the world to do more to tackle climate change. Paris has placed a monthly ban upon cars along the Champs-Elysee, while Santiago in Chile last year temporarily banned 40% of its 1.7m vehicles. But with more people dying from air pollution each year than malaria and HIV, it’s clear that far more needs to be done to clean up our cities, stem the flow of plastic into the environment and help rapidly growing economies exploit the sun and the wind, rather than coal, for their energy needs. Otherwise we will run out of places to bottle clean air from. 63．Which of the following statement about Vitality Air is TRUE? A．It sells bottled pure mountain air only to wealthy cities in China. B．The Canadian company profits by transporting national parks’ air to Chinese people. C．It is a technology company whose website keeps crashing. D．Its products cause serious environmental problems. 64．What is the root of the world’s air pollution problem? A．The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. B．The excessive burning of fossil fuels. C．The dissolving Great Barrier Reef. D．The trillions of tiny pieces plastic. 65．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Plenty of other nations were not able to buy clean bottled air from Vitality Air. B．Innovative technologies would be the consequence if humans disappeared on the earth. C．The warm winter in Alaska is caused by the burning of fossil fuels. D．National governments are working on the smoggy problem through a joint effort. 66．Which of the following is the best title? A．Bottled air: far from a silver bullet to air pollution B．Dropping air quality: the killer hunting all of us C．A global dilemma: pollution has both upsides and downsides D．An emergent call: we are running out of clean bottled air 【答案】63．B 64．B 65．C 66．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了空气污染加剧对健康的威胁以及由此带来的瓶装空气市场的兴起。 63．细节理解题。根据第二段“While the company has sold 12,000 bottles of air from Canada’s national parks to Chinese people sick of the pollution that chokes many of the country’s cities, plenty of other nations are increasingly asking for clean air.(尽管这家公司已经向厌倦了城市污染的中国民众出售了12,000瓶来自加拿大国家公园的空气，越来越多的其他国家也在请求获取清洁空气。)”可知，加拿大公司通过将国家公园的空气运往中国以牟利。故选B。 64．细节理解题。根据第三段“The torching of fossil fuels has grown so quickly that the world is heading to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide beyond 400 parts per million — a level unseen in human history.(化石燃料的燃烧增长如此之快，以至于全球正在接近超出每百万体积400份的二氧化碳浓度水平——这是人类历史上未曾见过的水平。)”可知，化石燃料的过度燃烧导致了空气污染问题，故选B。 65．推理判断题。根据第三段“Particles and chemicals released from power plants and vehicles are killing us as the CO₂ dissolves the Great Barrier Reef and helps rob Alaska of a winter.(化石燃料的燃烧增长如此之快，以至于全球正在接近超出每百万体积400份的二氧化碳浓度水平——这是人类历史上未曾见过的水平。)”可知，燃烧化石燃料导致阿拉斯加的冬季变暖，故选C。 66．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But with more people dying from air pollution each year than malaria and HIV, it’s clear that far more needs to be done to clean up our cities, stem the flow of plastic into the environment and help rapidly growing economies exploit the sun and the wind, rather than coal, for their energy needs.(但是，每年因空气污染而死亡的人数超过了疟疾和艾滋病死者的总和，因此显然我们需要采取更多措施来清洁城市环境，遏制塑料进入环境的流动，并帮助快速发展的经济体利用太阳能和风能，而不是依赖煤炭来获取能源。)”可知，文中主要讨论空气质量问题及Vitality Air销售瓶装空气的现象，其中提及瓶装空气并不是解决空气污染的灵丹妙药，A“瓶装空气：远离空气污染的灵丹妙药”符合主题，适合做标题。故选A。 Section C Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Not All Waste Has to Go to Waste Most of the world’s 2.22 billion tons of annual trash ends up in landfills or open dumps. Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has created a solution to our massive trash problem: waste microfactories. There little trash processors — some as small as 500 square feet — house a series of machines that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with the new technology. 67 Sahajwalla launched the world’s first waste micro factory targeting electronic waste, or e-waste, in 2018 in Sydney. A second one began recycling plastics in 2019. Now, her lab group is working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented microfactory technology. 68 The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on location, avoiding the long, often international, high-emission treks between recycling processors and manufacturing plants. With a microfactory, gone are the days of needing separate facilities to collect and store materials, extract elements and produce new products. 69 Her invention evolves this idea by taking materials from an old product and creating something different. “The kids don’t look like the parents,” she says. For example, the microfactory can break down old smartphones and computer monitors and extract silica (from the glass) and carbon (from the plastic casing), and then combine them together. This generates a common material with many industrial uses. 70 In 2019, just 17.4 percent of e-waste was recycled, so they ability to re-form offers a crucial new development in the challenge recycling complex electronic devices. “We can do so much more with materials,” says Sahajwalla. A．Traditional recycling has not worked for every recycling challenge, especially the recycling of e-waste. B．She says the small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on renewable energy, unlike most large manufacturing plants. C．Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth R”, adding “re-form” to the common phrase “reduce, rouse, recycle.” D．Electronics contains various poisonous chemicals and materials that are released into the environments if they are not dealt with properly. E．The new all-in-one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust. F．Traditionally, recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products — like melting down plastic to make more plastic things. 【答案】67．E 68．B 69．F 70．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Veena Sahajwalla发明的废物微工厂，可解决大量垃圾问题，还阐述了其优势、工作原理及在电子废物回收方面的重要意义等。 67．根据上文“Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has created a solution to our massive trash problem: waste microfactories. There little trash processors — some as small as 500 square feet — house a series of machines that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with the new technology.(澳大利亚悉尼新南威尔士大学的材料科学家兼工程师Veena Sahajwalla为我们庞大的垃圾问题创造了一个解决方案：废物微工厂。这些小型垃圾处理器（有些小至500平方英尺）装有一系列机器，这些机器利用新技术回收废物并将其转化为新材料)”可知，此处是在介绍废物微工厂这种一体化的回收流程，可推理出下文说的是这种一体化流程比传统方式的优势之处，与E项“The new all-in-one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust.(这种新的一体化方法可能会让我们现有的回收流程相形见绌)”表达的意思一致，故选E项。 68．根据上文“Sahajwalla launched the world’s first waste micro factory targeting electronic waste, or e-waste, in 2018 in Sydney. A second one began recycling plastics in 2019. Now, her lab group is working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented microfactory technology.(Sahajwalla于2018年在悉尼启动了世界上第一个针对电子废物（即电子垃圾）的废物微工厂。第二个工厂于2019年开始回收塑料。现在，她的实验室小组正在与大学和行业合作伙伴合作，将其专利微工厂技术商业化)”以及下文“The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on location, avoiding the long, often international, high-emission treks between recycling processors and manufacturing plants.(这种方法还将使城市能够在当地将废物回收制成新产品，避免了回收加工商和制造工厂之间漫长的、通常是跨国的、高排放的长途跋涉)”可知，本段提到Sahajwalla的微工厂，且空后also证明了这个微工厂的另一个好处，因此，空处应提到微工厂的好处，B项“She says the small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on renewable energy, unlike most large manufacturing plants.(她说，这些机器的小型化将使它们未来更容易使用可再生能源，这与大多数大型制造工厂不同)”说明微工厂的的好处之一，承上启下，符合语境，故选B项。 69．根据下文“Her invention evolves this idea by taking materials from an old product and creating something different. (她的发明通过从旧产品中提取材料并创造出不同的东西来发展这一理念)”可知，这里是在说明传统的回收方式与Sahajwalla的发明的不同之处，可推理出空处说的是传统的回收工厂的回收方法的特点，F项“Traditionally, recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products — like melting down plastic to make more plastic things.(传统上，回收工厂将材料分解以便在类似产品中重复使用——比如熔化塑料来制造更多塑料制品)”说明传统的回收方法，与下文形成对比，符合语境，故选F项。 70．根据上文“For example, the microfactory can break down old smartphones and computer monitors and extract silica (from the glass) and carbon (from the plastic casing), and then combine them together. This generates a common material with many industrial uses.(例如，微工厂可以分解旧智能手机和电脑显示器，从玻璃中提取二氧化硅，从塑料外壳中提取碳，然后将它们组合在一起。这产生了一种有许多工业用途的常见材料)”可知，这里在举例说明微工厂的回收过程，它的特点是重新生成了一种有许多工业用途的常见材料，C项“Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth R”, adding “re-form” to the common phrase “reduce, rouse, recycle.”(Sahajwalla将这一过程称为“第四个R”，在常见的“减少、唤醒、回收”短语中加入了“重新形成”)”是对前面的例子的总结归纳，符合语境，故选C项。 IV. Summary Writing (10分) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 71．Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Read with Eyes or Ears Picture yourself sitting at home in a quiet reading nook, ignoring the world around you, absorbed in a tale. You read the blurb, instantly became intrigued and now you’re in the middle of an absolute page-turner. But, there’s a hot debate-physical books vs. books vs. audiobooks. Does the device you’re using to read affect your reaction to the book? Generally, reading uses several areas of the brain. There’s attention span, reasoning, reading fluency, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social perception. So, whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits. But, let’s look at the pros to reading with your eyes-that’s physical books and e-books. They can help to retain information better. This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held more closely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders, which it likely will at some point or other. On the other hand, there’s the audiobook. Headphones in, you’re switched off from life and the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film-in your head. From a scientific perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a greater sense of empathy as you hear the emotion of the narrator. We can more easily understand inflection and intonation. Hearing the story engages different parts of the brain, heightening the intensity and imagery, making you enjoy it more. All in all, it seems that there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks. Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format. It may just change your whole literary experience. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】There is a heated debate between physical books and audiobooks. Both offer distinct advantages. Physical books allow for better information retention as you can see the words and easily go back. Audiobooks, on the other hand, develop empathy as you hear the emotion of the narrator. Consider different formats to enhance your literary experience. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，在纸质书或电子书和有声书之间存在着激烈的争论。两者都有各自的优势。实体书可以更好地保留信息，因为你可以看到单词并很容易地返回。另一方面，当你听到叙述者的情感时，有声读物会培养同理心。考虑不同的格式来增强你的文学体验。 【详解】1 要点摘录 ①But, there’s a hot debate-physical books vs. books vs. audiobooks. ②So, whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits. ③They can help to retain information better. ④Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders, which it likely will at some point or other. ⑤From a scientific perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a greater sense of empathy as you hear the emotion of the narrator. ⑥ Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format.
