Even though (尽管) snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma. Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion. Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly. Learning the violin was more challenging (挑战性的). Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself. “After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.” In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead. Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off. I’m proud of standing on the stage today.” 34. How does the writer describe Ma’s difficulties in learning the violin? A. By questioning. B. By listing numbers. C. By offering advice. D. By giving examples. 35. What does the underlined phrase “persist in” probably mean in paragraph 5 ? A. keep on B. end up C. give up D. look forward to 36. What can we learn from the passage about Ma? A. She began to learn to play the piano at nine. B. In 2018, she got a chance to study music in Beijing. C. It was more challenging for her to learn the piano than the violin. D. She could memorize the music score by herself before playing the piano. 【答案】34. D 35. A 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了16岁的盲人女孩马一飞的故事，包括她因疾病失明、从小对音乐产生兴趣并学习钢琴和小提琴的艰辛历程，以及她在2022年北京冬奥会期间演奏主题曲《雪花》的经历，展现了她坚韧不拔的精神。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Learning the violin was more challenging (挑战性的). Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.”可知，作者通过举例马一飞需要触摸老师的肢体学习动作、反复听琴弦感受肌肉，来描述她学习小提琴的困难，故选D。 【35题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises... But Ma said, ‘As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.’”可知，马一飞不想放弃，认为坚持练习会更好，“persist in”意为“坚持”，与“keep on”意思相近，故选A。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing.”可知，2018年马一飞获得了去北京学习音乐的机会，故选B。 C Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws (吸管) and bags. More and more businesses are changing to paper products. Using paper is considered to be better than plastic. However, it is harmful to the environment, too. Firstly, paper bags and straws are made from trees. Trees, as you know, are good for the environment. They can slow down climate change. An increase in the use of paper bags can cause more deforestation. Secondly, the production of paper things requires more energy and water. About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water are used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one. You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water. This seems to be a good idea. However, it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process (过程) than to make a new paper bag. Products made from recycled paper are also often short-lived. Furthermore, paper products are heavier than plastic ones. That means they require more fuel to transport. Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags, while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags. The increased weight also leads to a larger amount of waste once the bags are thrown away. Paper products are actually a lose-lose for both the environment and businesses. They are more expensive than plastic products. A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents, while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents. The most environment-friendly way is to avoid single-use things altogether. Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again. They are much better than either paper products or plastic products. By increasing the use of these items, you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our earth a greener place! 37. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Using plastic straws. B. Using plastic bags. C. Using paper products. D. Using single-use things. 38. What does the writer think of the recycled paper? A. It saves energy and water. B. It seems not to be a good idea. C. It is better than single-use paper. D. Itˈs easy to make by recycling process. 39. What is the writerˈs main purpose of writing this passage? A. To compare paper products with plastic products. B. To introduce the disadvantages of paper products. C. To explain why paper products are bad for the environment. D To call on using products in an environment-friendly way. 40. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】37. C 38. B 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要讲述了出于对保护环境的考虑，纸制品和塑料制品都不要用，尤其是纸制品，最环保的解决方案是完全避免使用一次性产品。 【37题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“More and more businesses are changing to paper products. Using paper is considered to be better than plastic.”可知越来越多的企业正在转向纸制品，因为使用纸张被认为比塑料更好。所以“it”指的是使用纸制品这件事。故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“However, it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process (过程) than to make a new paper bag. Products made from recycled paper are also often short-lived.”可知，回收纸的过程需要更多的能源和水，而且回收纸制成的产品往往寿命较短，所以作者认为这不是个好主意。故选B。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“The most environment-friendly way is to avoid single-use things altogether. Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again ... make our earth a greener place!”可知，最环保的方法是完全避免一次性使用的东西，比如玻璃水瓶和钢吸管等产品可以反复使用。因此本文呼吁以环保的方式使用产品。故选D。 【40题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段主要讲述了纸制品对环境有害；第二、三、四段分别从纸制品会造成森林滥伐、消耗更多的能源和水、比塑料制品更重和对环境介绍纸制品的危害；第五段强调纸制品对环境和企业来说都是两败俱伤的；最后一段介绍了最环保的解决方案是完全避免一次性物品。A符合文章结构。故选A。 D When she was alone, Mary felt lonelier than ever. She went out of the house and ran around the garden ten times. Ben Weatherstaff was working in it. “Spring is coming,” he said to Mary. “I can smell it in the air. ▲ .” At this moment, the robin flew towards them and landed at Mary’s feet. “He remembers me,” she said. “He knows everything here” Ben said. “Only he knows what’s happening in the secret garden without a door into it. No one else has been inside it for ten years.” Ben walked away to continue his work. Mary began talking to the robin. She felt happier than she had ever felt. The robin trusted her and did not fly away. It began pecking (啄食) at the ground, looking for a worm to eat. Mary looked closely at the ground. She saw that there was something like metal (金属). She picked it up. It was dirty and rusty. She cleaned it and saw that it was a key. “It’s been in the ground for many years,” she thought. “I wonder if it is the key to the garden. If it is, then I must find the door.” Mary skipped (跳跃) around the garden. The robin followed her. Mary stopped skipping and spoke to the robin. “He showed me where to find the key,” she thought. “Can you show me where the door is?” The robin sat on the top of the garden wall. It began to sing. The wall was covered with ivy. Mary pulled at a piece of the ivy. It came away from the wall. Behind the wall was a door. Mary put the key in the lock of the door and turned it. The door opened. Only seconds later, Mary was inside the secret garden. Mary thought it was the most beautiful garden she had ever seen. ——Adapted from The Secret Garden 41.

B For 16-year-old Ma Yifei, the violin performance of the Beijing 2022 Olympic theme song, Snowflake, was her best present for Paralympians (残奥运动员) all over the world. Even though (尽管) snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma. Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion. Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly. Learning the violin was more challenging (挑战性的). Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself. “After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.” In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the Central Conservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead. Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off. I’m proud of standing on the stage today.” 34. How does the writer describe Ma’s difficulties in learning the violin? A. By questioning. B. By listing numbers. C. By offering advice. D. By giving examples. 35. What does the underlined phrase “persist in” probably mean in paragraph 5 ? A. keep on B. end up C. give up D. look forward to 36. What can we learn from the passage about Ma? A. She began to learn to play the piano at nine. B. In 2018, she got a chance to study music in Beijing. C. It was more challenging for her to learn the piano than the violin. D. She could memorize the music score by herself before playing the piano. C Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws (吸管) and bags. More and more businesses are changing to paper products. Using paper is considered to be better than plastic. However, it is harmful to the environment, too. Firstly, paper bags and straws are made from trees. Trees, as you know, are good for the environment. They can slow down climate change. An increase in the use of paper bags can cause more deforestation. Secondly, the production of paper things requires more energy and water. About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water are used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one. You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water. This seems to be a good idea. However, it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process (过程) than to make a new paper bag. Products made from recycled paper are also often short-lived. Furthermore, paper products are heavier than plastic ones. That means they require more fuel to transport. Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags, while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags. The increased weight also leads to a larger amount of waste once the bags are thrown away. Paper products are actually a lose-lose for both the environment and businesses. They are more expensive than plastic products. A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents, while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents. The most environment-friendly way is to avoid single-use things altogether. Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again. They are much better than either paper products or plastic products. By increasing the use of these items, you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our earth a greener place! 37. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Using plastic straws. B. Using plastic bags. C. Using paper products. D. Using single-use things. 38. What does the writer think of the recycled paper? A. It saves energy and water. B. It seems not to be a good idea. C. It is better than single-use paper. D. Itˈs easy to make by recycling process. 39. What is the writerˈs main purpose of writing this passage? A. To compare paper products with plastic products. B. To introduce the disadvantages of paper products. C. To explain why paper products are bad for the environment. D. To call on using products in an environment-friendly way. 40. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. D When she was alone, Mary felt lonelier than ever. She went out of the house and ran around the garden ten times. Ben Weatherstaff was working in it. “Spring is coming,” he said to Mary. “I can smell it in the air. ▲ .” At this moment, the robin flew towards them and landed at Mary’s feet. “He remembers me,” she said. “He knows everything here,” Ben said. “Only he knows what’s happening in the secret garden without a door into it. No one else has been inside it for ten years.” Ben walked away to continue his work. Mary began talking to the robin. She felt happier than she had ever felt. The robin trusted her and did not fly away. It began pecking (啄食) at the ground, looking for a worm to eat. Mary looked closely at the ground. She saw that there was something like metal (金属). She picked it up. It was dirty and rusty. She cleaned it and saw that it was a key. “It’s been in the ground for many years,” she thought. “I wonder if it is the key to the garden. If it is, then I must find the door.” Mary skipped (跳跃) around the garden. The robin followed her. Mary stopped skipping and spoke to the robin. “He showed me where to find the key,” she thought. “Can you show me where the door is?” The robin sat on the top of the garden wall. It began to sing. The wall was covered with ivy. Mary pulled at a piece of the ivy. It came away from the wall. Behind the wall was a door. Mary put the key in the lock of the door and turned it. The door opened. Only seconds later, Mary was inside the secret garden. Mary thought it was the most beautiful garden she had ever seen. ——Adapted from The Secret Garden 41.
