The Albuquerque Balloon Festival
Every autumn, the sky above the city of Albuquerque in the south-western United States turns into a mass of bright colours. This is the Albuquerque Balloon Festival, a nine-day event.
The first festival was held in 1972 to celebrate the 50th birthday of the local radio station. There were about 12 hot-air balloons and they took off from the car park in the middle of Albuquerque. From these small beginnings the festival has grown steadily. This year at least a thousand balloons are expected at its current out-of-town site.
What to do
The pilots light up the burners of their balloons at the same time. These are known as “balloon glows”. However, you must arrive just after night has fallen or before 5:30 am to see these “glows” as the balloons rise into the dark sky.
During the day, you can walk around among the balloons. The balloons come in all sizes and colours, some in the shapes of animals or cartoon characters.
In the afternoon, why not take to the sky yourself by booking a balloon flight with the Rainbow Ryders? This company is allowed to take guests during flight. Another possibility is to take the cable car (缆车) to the top of the nearby mountains and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the festival.
There are other attractions for visitors of all ages, including balloon races.
Practical advice
Tickets are available online. Buy them in advance and save yourself a long wait to get into the festival site. Wear several layers of clothing. At night and in the early morning it can be quite cool, but during the day sunglasses are necessary. Bring a flashlight for night-time events and, of course, bring your digital camera for evening and night-time pictures.
21. What do we know about the Albuquerque Balloon Festival?
A. It runs for nine days. B. It started as a big event.
C. It takes place every two years. D. It was held in memory of a pilot.
22. What can you do with the Rainbow Ryders during the festival?
A. Take a cable car tour. B. Ride a hot-air balloon.
C. Enter balloon competitions. D. Make balloons in different shapes.
23. What are you advised to do to attend the festival?
A. Wear cool clothes. B. Buy tickets online.
C. Arrive in the early morning. D. Take pictures in the daytime.

When Alex Petrie went to stay with his father, he noticed that the 75-year-old walked around several times during the night. This was worrying: his father lived alone and had recently been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia (路易体失智症).
“I was feeling quite nervous about it and wondered if he was doing it every night,” says Petrie. “It's not nice to think that he's worried or can't sleep properly.”
But Petrie had recently installed (安装) a smart home system, Howz, in his father's flat. It uses sensors to track movements, feeding the data into an app that family members and close friends can access. Once the Howz system has analysed and established someone's habitual way of doing things, it will send alerts (警报) to the app if there are any changes. For example, if a sensor usually senses movement before 8 am each day — signalling the time the person normally gets up — an alert will be sent if there has been no movement by that time. Relatives can then call in to make sure everything is okay.
Using the app, Petrie could see that his father usually got a good night's sleep and very rarely walked about during the night. With this knowledge, he was able to provide the right kind of support and care when his father did have a sleepless night.
Howz, which was developed by Intelesant, a Manchester-based health tech company, aims to help people live independently in their own homes and provide peace of mind for their relatives.
Petrie set up two sensors in his father's flat: one on the front door and another in the hall. “The door sensor is important as I can see whether his carers have visited. It doesn't tell me who has visited but it's easy to find out by the time of the day. The sensor in the hall covers the most commonly used area of the flat. It gives us a near-continuous view of whether he's up and about. It's a little safety net,” says Petrie.
24. What was the problem with Petrie's father?
A. He insisted on living alone. B. He didn't like the care home.
C. He always went out for a walk at night. D. He sometimes couldn't fall asleep at night.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How Howz works. B. How Howz is tested.
C. Who invented Howz. D. Why Howz was created.
26. What does Petrie think of Howz?
A. It isn't privacy-friendly. B. It isn't safe enough.
C. It is quite helpful. D. It is big business.
27. What does the author want to tell us in the text?
A. Tech shortens the distance between people.
B. Tech is benefiting people's daily life.
C. Tech affects the way people work.
D. Tech is slowing down aging.
C
A new study shows that the household consumers (家庭消费者) are focusing more on reducing their energy costs by using technologically advanced home appliances. The lighting control held the largest share in the smart home market in 2016. The increase in the adoption (采用) rate of intelligent lighting controls by households worldwide has fuelled the growth of the smart home market. These have the ability to reduce electricity consumption because they adjust (调节) the artificial light according to the surroundings.
Four years ago, I was in a discussion about Nest Thermostat (恒温器), sharing my view that if a house is built properly, it doesn't need a smart thermostat. It probably wouldn't do much good there because with careful placement of high-quality windows, you seldom need to heat or cool it at all. Since then, other studies have shown that in a leaky old house, smart thermostats can be very effective and save energy.
But is smart lighting saving energy? A smart lighting system might turn off or adjust the brightness of a bulb (灯泡), but an LED bulb already uses very little electricity, say 7 watts per bulb. But when you make it smart, it is always connected, consuming a bit of power to talk to the controller or bridge; one guy with a meter tested it at 0.4 watts per hour, or 9.6 watts in a day. It means that if you have a pile of smart bulbs and devices, you are consuming a fair bit of electricity.
Except for smart thermostats in leaky houses, none in the smart market saves energy. Asking Siri, voice control on any of Apple devices, to turn off the lights is fun, but we would be better off in terms of energy and exercise if we got up and reached for a light switch. Rather than saving energy, the smart home is wasting it.
28. What does the underlined word “fuelled” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Controlled. B. Promoted. C. Predicted. D. Detected.
29. What does the author think of smart thermostats?
A. They are well-designed. B. They are energy-efficient.
C. They are not very useful. D. They are not always automatic.
30. What does paragraph 3 mainly want to tell us?
A. LED bulbs are very bright.
B. LED bulbs are of little value.
C. Smart lighting has developed quickly.
D. Smart lighting does little to save electricity.
31. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A. To use Siri for fun.
B. To improve smart lighting.
C. To give up smart thermostats completely.
D. To turn to the traditional way of turning off lights.
D
Ten years ago, Britain’s first stretch of all-lane running (ALR)“smart” motorway was introduced, with more to follow. As a way to ease congestion (堵塞) without spending money on widening roads, ALR motorways function without a hard shoulder for drivers in difficulty. As they were rolled out, motorists were assured that the emergency lane would not be missed, as new technologies would be able to respond to breakdowns, and control traffic flow.
The public was understandably doubtful about how smart this idea was, and it turned out the public was right. Smart motorways without a hard shoulder have been found to be three times more dangerous than ones where drivers have that option. Behind the data lie terrible incidents, in which stationary (不动的) vehicles have been ploughed into from behind with serious consequences. Rightly, Rishi Sunak last year stopped plans for more ALR motorways, citing a lack of public confidence. But he should go further. The RAC this week called for a hard shoulder to be restored on all smart motorways. That advice should be listened to in Whitehall and acted upon. A 2021 House of Commons transport committee report made shockingly clear that before rolling the “no emergency lane” policy out, ministers driven by the desire to save money failed to do due diligence on the safety risks attached.
Since then, plans to retrofit (翻新) refuge areas along motorway routes have proceeded at a snail’s pace. Of the 150 emergency areas due to be in place by next year, only a tiny proportion have been delivered. Even when all are up and running, the risk of a catastrophic breakdown in onrushing traffic will remain.
At a minimum, the government should move to a system of “dynamic” motorways, where emergency lanes are only opened to traffic at particularly busy periods. But the preferable solution would be to restore a permanent hard shoulder. This could be done while keeping the benefits of investment in technical innovations that allow traffic to be better monitored and flexibly regulated. Mr Sunak did the right thing in bringing a foolish experiment to an end. The next task is to correct the damage already done.
32. Why were ALR motorways introduced?
A. To reduce serious traffic accidents. B. To relieve traffic jam at low costs.
C. To save money on road maintenance. D. To improve motorists’driving skills.
33. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Roads with a hard shoulder posed little threat.
B. Smart motorways failed to win public favor.
C. Ministers were driven by the greed for money.
D. Rishi Sunak was forced to stop smart motorways.
34. What does the author suggest the government do?
A. Build more emergency areas. B. Invest in technical advances.
C. Calculate the potential damage. D. Keep a hard shoulder in place.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Smart Motorways Are Not Clever Without a Hard Shoulder
B. Smart Motorways Witnessed Catastrophic Breakdowns
C. Smart Motorways Benefit From Technological Innovation
D. Smart Motorways Raised the Doubts of the General Public

How to spot misinformation online
We’ve all seen it——an article online that seems absolutely crazy or unbelievable. 36 Misinformation isn’t just annoying, it can be false, misleading or even dangerous. But there’s good news: you have tools you can use to help sort through misinformation and identify what’s real and what’s fake.
Pause and be skeptical about new information. Whenever you come across an article or post that you haven’t seen before, take a second to consider it. Don’t just scroll by accepting it as fact without exercising some skepticism first. 37 It’s better to investigate information to make sure it’s legal before spreading it around.
38 Look up the information at the source to see if it was actually published there. Double-check the date of the article or information to make sure it’s current and still accurate. Usually, the date is located next to the author of the article.
Check to see if you can tell who the original author is. Find out who wrote the information by looking up the article or searching for their name. Check to see if the author is an expert who often covers the subject. If the author isn’t listed, it’s a sign that it could be false or misleading information. 39 .
Watch out for information that triggers a strong emotional response. ___40___ If you spot an article, a post or any other information that causes you to feel a super-strong emotion, be alerted. It could be a sign that it’s fake and designed to get a reaction out of you.
A. It’s okay to be doubtful!
B. Double-check the quote or the post.
C. Confirm the source and date of the information.
D. The thing is, there’s a lot of misinformation out there these days.
E. If only one place is reporting something, the information may be false.
F. Misinformation is often designed to make you feel angry, sad, or scared.
G. An article by a registered doctor is more credible than one without an author mentioned.

阅读下面材料:根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Putting down the book I was reading, I turned to my mum Phyllis.
“Next year, when I go to high school...,” I started, thinking of all the novels I’d soon be enjoying. But before I could finish my sentence, Mum cut me off.
“There will be no high school.” she said. “We don’t have money for uniforms or school shoes or books.”
It was 1963; I was 12 and had spent the whole of primary school not wearing any shoes, but I dreamed of being a teacher. My family were very poor and my three older siblings hadn’t gone on to high school. Two of them had started work and my older sister stayed home to help mum look after the younger kids. Two weeks before I turned 13, I started cutting threads off shirts in a clothing factory where I met George and later we married.
In time, we had our three kids Darcy, Georgina and Kelly. George found work on cattle stations so we moved to the outback in Western Queensland. I taught our three kids during their primary school years and that scratched my teaching itch a little, but the desire to study more never left me.
“When we retire. I want to go to university” I told George.
I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. After 40 years in the outback, we retired in 2015 and I seized my chance. At the age of 66. I enrolled in a program which helped mature students prepare for university. And then in 2017, I went to college, majoring in English education.

【答案】28.B 29.C 30.D 31.D
【导语】本文是议论文。作者探讨了智能家居系统的弊端,他认为其造成了能源浪费。
28. B。词义猜测题。根据第一段内容可知,人们越来越多地使用智能家居设备,而智能光控设备在2016年就占有了最大的市场份额,由此可推断,智能光控设备使用率的上涨很有可能“促进了”智能家居市场的发展。
29. C。推理判断题。由第二段中的It probably wouldn't do much good there because with careful placement of highquality windows, you seldom need to heat or cool it at all可知,智能恒温器在建造质量好的房屋里的作用并不大,因为窗户设计得好,根本不需要给房屋制冷或供热。由此可知,作者认为智能恒温器并非任何时候都需要。
30. D。 推理判断题。由第三段中的when you make it smart, it is always connected, consuming a bit of power to talk to the controller or bridge; one guy with a meter tested it at 0.4 watts per hour, or 9.6 watts in a day可知,LED灯泡虽然省电,但其控制开关因一直连着电源仍然会耗电。由此可知,智能光控系统根本不省电。
31. D。 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Asking Siri ... is fun, but we would be better off in terms of energy and exercise ... a light switch可知,作者建议人们自己起身去关灯,而非依赖智能光控系统,一则省电,二则还可以锻炼。

Ten years ago, Britain’s first stretch of all-lane running (ALR)“smart” motorway was introduced, with more to follow. As a way to ease congestion (堵塞) without spending money on widening roads, ALR motorways function without a hard shoulder for drivers in difficulty. As they were rolled out, motorists were assured that the emergency lane would not be missed, as new technologies would be able to respond to breakdowns, and control traffic flow.
The public was understandably doubtful about how smart this idea was, and it turned out the public was right. Smart motorways without a hard shoulder have been found to be three times more dangerous than ones where drivers have that option. Behind the data lie terrible incidents, in which stationary (不动的) vehicles have been ploughed into from behind with serious consequences. Rightly, Rishi Sunak last year stopped plans for more ALR motorways, citing a lack of public confidence. But he should go further. The RAC this week called for a hard shoulder to be restored on all smart motorways. That advice should be listened to in Whitehall and acted upon. A 2021 House of Commons transport committee report made shockingly clear that before rolling the “no emergency lane” policy out, ministers driven by the desire to save money failed to do due diligence on the safety risks attached.
Since then, plans to retrofit (翻新) refuge areas along motorway routes have proceeded at a snail’s pace. Of the 150 emergency areas due to be in place by next year, only a tiny proportion have been delivered. Even when all are up and running, the risk of a catastrophic breakdown in onrushing traffic will remain.
At a minimum, the government should move to a system of “dynamic” motorways, where emergency lanes are only opened to traffic at particularly busy periods. But the preferable solution would be to restore a permanent hard shoulder. This could be done while keeping the benefits of investment in technical innovations that allow traffic to be better monitored and flexibly regulated. Mr Sunak did the right thing in bringing a foolish experiment to an end. The next task is to correct the damage already done.
32. Why were ALR motorways introduced?
A. To reduce serious traffic accidents. B. To relieve traffic jam at low costs.
C. To save money on road maintenance. D. To improve motorists’driving skills.
33. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Roads with a hard shoulder posed little threat.
B. Smart motorways failed to win public favor.
C. Ministers were driven by the greed for money.
D. Rishi Sunak was forced to stop smart motorways.
34. What does the author suggest the government do?
A. Build more emergency areas. B. Invest in technical advances.
C. Calculate the potential damage. D. Keep a hard shoulder in place.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Smart Motorways Are Not Clever Without a Hard Shoulder
B. Smart Motorways Witnessed Catastrophic Breakdowns
C. Smart Motorways Benefit From Technological Innovation
D. Smart Motorways Raised the Doubts of the General Public
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍全车道运行(ALR)“智能”高速公路所存在的问题以及补救措施。
32. 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“As a way to ease congestion (堵塞) without spending money on widening roads, ALR motorways function without a hard shoulder for drivers in difficulty. As they were rolled out, motorists were assured that the emergency lane would not be missed, as new technologies would be able to respond to breakdowns, and control traffic flow.(作为一种在不花钱拓宽道路的情况下缓解拥堵的方法,ALR高速公路的运行对有困难的司机来说没有困难。随着它们的推出,驾驶者得到了保证,不会错过紧急车道,因为新技术将能够应对故障并控制交通流量。)”可推知,引入ALR高速公路是为了以低成本缓解交通堵塞。故选B项。
33. 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“The public was understandably doubtful about how smart this idea was, and it turned out the public was right. (公众对这个想法有多聪明表示怀疑,这是可以理解的,事实证明公众是对的。)”可推知,公众对智能高速公路质疑,换句话说,智能高速公路未能赢得公众的青睐。故选B项。
34. 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“But the preferable solution would be to restore a permanent hard shoulder. This could be done while keeping the benefits of investment in technical innovations that allow traffic to be better monitored and flexibly regulated. (但更可取的解决方案是恢复永久性的硬路肩。这可以在保持技术创新投资的好处的同时实现,从而更好地监控和灵活监管交通。)”可知,作者建议政府保持硬路肩。故选D项。
35. 主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Smart motorways without a hard shoulder have been found to be three times more dangerous than ones where drivers have that option.(研究发现,没有硬路肩的智能高速公路的危险性是驾驶员有硬路肩的高速公路的三倍。)”以及上下文可知,文章主要介绍全车道运行(ALR)“智能”高速公路没有硬路肩所存在的问题以及补救措施,所以A项“Smart Motorways Are Not Clever Without a Hard Shoulder(没有硬路肩,智能高速公路就不智能)”符合文意。故选A项。

How to spot misinformation online
We’ve all seen it——an article online that seems absolutely crazy or unbelievable. 36 Misinformation isn’t just annoying, it can be false, misleading or even dangerous. But there’s good news: you have tools you can use to help sort through misinformation and identify what’s real and what’s fake.
Pause and be skeptical about new information. Whenever you come across an article or post that you haven’t seen before, take a second to consider it. Don’t just scroll by accepting it as fact without exercising some skepticism first. 37 It’s better to investigate information to make sure it’s legal before spreading it around.
38 Look up the information at the source to see if it was actually published there. Double-check the date of the article or information to make sure it’s current and still accurate. Usually, the date is located next to the author of the article.
Check to see if you can tell who the original author is. Find out who wrote the information by looking up the article or searching for their name. Check to see if the author is an expert who often covers the subject. If the author isn’t listed, it’s a sign that it could be false or misleading information. 39 .
Watch out for information that triggers a strong emotional response. ___40___ If you spot an article, a post or any other information that causes you to feel a super-strong emotion, be alerted. It could be a sign that it’s fake and designed to get a reaction out of you.
A. It’s okay to be doubtful!
B. Double-check the quote or the post.
C. Confirm the source and date of the information.
D. The thing is, there’s a lot of misinformation out there these days.
E. If only one place is reporting something, the information may be false.
F. Misinformation is often designed to make you feel angry, sad, or scared.
G. An article by a registered doctor is more credible than one without an author mentioned.
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. C 39. G 40. F

51.D 52.A 53.B 54.C 55.D
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者描述了科技对他的生活产生的巨大影响。
41. A。由上文中的Technology has really improved my life和下文作者描述手机的各种用途可知,像iPhone之类的智能手机所带来的改变是非常巨大的。故changes符合语境,泛指下文列举的手机对人们生活产生的影响。
42. B。本空所在句与下文中的We can use Siri, or Google ... our voice requests是并列关系,都是说手机的各种用途。故选use。
43. B。由本句中的use Siri, or Google on our phones和our voice requests以及常识可知,手机中的Siri和Google两种程序能够对我们的语音请求“作出回应(respond)”。
44. C。根据常识和语境可知,本空所在句与上两句内容We ... our phones as ... devices和We can use Siri ... requests之间是递进关系,指出手机甚至变成了一种支付工具。故选even。
45. C。本空所在句中的There's an app for that意为“有一个应用程序可以解决这个问题”,也就是说,我们倾向于依赖某个应用程序来解决问题。由此可知,这里是说这句话已经成为我们许多问题的“答案(answer)”。
46. D。由下文作者描述他如何使用智能语音助手Alexa可知,Alexa已经对他的生活产生了非常巨大的影响。故impact符合语境。
47. A。由上文中对Alexa的介绍voice assistant和Internetconnected light bulbs and switches可知,Alexa通过网络与用户进行沟通实现其功能。此处选ask,与上文中的voice呼应。这里指作者通过语音告诉Alexa打开或者关闭灯和其他的设备。
48. D。49. B。由文中的I get into bed at night和In the morning, Alexa ... the alarm clock可知,Alexa可以被用作闹钟(Alexa发出闹钟的声音),“叫醒(wake)”作者。sound在此处作动词,意为“(使)发出声音,响”。
50. C。本段作者继续举例说明科技对他生活的改变。由本段中的more recent和the addition of a $35 Chromecast device可推测,谷歌家居语音助手应该是他家最新添置的电子设备。故选addition(增加物,添加物),与下文中的addition是原词复现关系。Chromecast是谷歌公司研发的一款电子设备。
51. D。由下文描述可知,谷歌家居语音助手让作者的生活变得“更舒适(easier)”。
52. A。由下文作者的举例I can say, “Hey Google, ... The Crown on TV.”可知,他是对着谷歌家居语音助手说出了他想看的电视节目的名字。故name符合语境。
53. B。由上文中的tell Google to play a certain Netflix movie or television show可知,本空与上文中的play是原词复现关系。
54. C。55. D。由文中的No ... trying to remember what I watched last可知,安装了Chromecast设备的电视非常智能,可以从上一次停止的位置“开始(start)”播放。这也意味着不用从众多节目中“搜寻(searching for)”或记住上一次看的是什么。
第二节(共10小题:每小题1. 5分, 满分15分)
阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
South Korean carmaker Hyundai has unveiled (首次公开) DAL-e, an automated and 56 (intelligence) robot capable of welcoming and advising customers.
The robot, 57 is 1.16 meters tall and weighs 80 kg, can accompany customers to a given car model. Facial recognition lets DAL-e identify specific people, and it has been specially designed 58 (understand) natural language, in order to respond to all kinds of requests. Artificial intelligence helps the robot talk with smooth dialog while 59 (offer) personalized responses about the brand's products and services. As well 60 communicating with the robot by voice, users can also interact (互动) with DAL-e through a touch screen.
Plus, if a customer enters a showroom 61 wearing a face mask, the robot can automatically recognize this and advise the customer to wear one. It could 62 (potential) welcome customers and ask people to wait if the maximum (最大的) number of people 63 (permit) in a showroom has been reached.
At the moment, the idea is to respond to the constraints (约束) of the public health crisis and provide an effective 64 (solve). Hyundai has announced that they will use the robot in one of 65 (it) showrooms in Seoul, with the aim of improving the experience before putting it to use in other Hyundai and Kia showrooms.
【答案】
56. intelligent 57. which 58. to understand 59. offering 60. as
61. without 62. potentially 63. permitted 64. solution 65. its
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了韩国现代汽车首次公开智能机器人 DAL-e,它可迎接咨询顾客、陪同找车、互动,还能提醒戴口罩、管控展厅人数,旨在应对公共卫生危机,计划先用于首尔展厅再推广至其他现代和起亚展厅。
56. intelligent。考查词性转换(名词→形容词)。空格后是名词 “robot”,需用形容词修饰名词。括号内 “intelligence” 是名词(智力),其形容词形式为 “intelligent”(智能的),句意为 “一款自动化且智能的机器人”。
57. which。考查非限定性定语从句。空格前先行词是 “The robot”(物),从句 “is 1.16 meters tall and weighs 80 kg” 缺少主语,且是非限定性定语从句(逗号隔开,补充说明机器人的外形),故用关系代词 “which”(非限定性定语从句不能用 “that”)。
58. to understand。 考查不定式作目的状语。固定搭配 “be designed to do sth.” 表示 “被设计用来做某事”,此处指 “DAL-e 被专门设计来理解自然语言”,不定式 “to understand” 表目的。
59. offering。 考查非谓语动词(现在分词)。“while” 引导时间状语从句时,若主从句主语一致(此处主语均为 “the robot”),可省略 “主语 + be 动词”,保留非谓语动词。“the robot” 与 “offer”(提供)是主动关系,故用现在分词 “offering”,句意为 “人工智能帮助机器人流畅对话,同时提供个性化回复”。
60. as。 考查固定搭配。“as well as” 是固定短语,意为 “除…… 之外还有”,此处指 “用户除了通过语音与机器人交流,还能通过触摸屏互动”,符合上下文逻辑。
61. without。考查介词的语境逻辑。根据后文 “the robot can automatically recognize this and advise the customer to wear one”(机器人会提醒顾客戴口罩),可推断顾客 “没戴口罩”,故填介词 “without”(没有),符合 “发现问题→提醒” 的逻辑。
62. potentially。 考查词性转换(形容词→副词)。空格后是动词 “welcome”,需用副词修饰动词。括号内 “potential” 是形容词(潜在的),其副词形式为 “potentially”(潜在地),句意为 “它有可能会欢迎顾客,并在展厅人数达限时让人们等待”。
63. permitted。 考查非谓语动词(过去分词)。“the maximum number of people”(最大人数)与 “permit”(允许)是被动关系(人数是 “被允许” 进入的),故用过去分词 “permitted” 作后置定语,相当于 “which are permitted”,修饰 “people”。
64. solution。 考查词性转换(动词→名词)。空格前是形容词 “effective”(有效的),需用名词作宾语。括号内 “solve” 是动词(解决),其名词形式为 “solution”(解决方案),句意为 “应对公共卫生危机的有效解决方案”。
65. its。 考查形容词性物主代词。空格后是名词 “showrooms”(展厅),需用形容词性物主代词修饰,指代前文 “Hyundai”(现代汽车)。括号内 “it” 是主格 / 宾格,其形容词性物主代词为 “its”(它的),句意为 “现代汽车在首尔的其中一个展厅”。

Dear friends,
The development of medical technology is creating a world where robots may play a more and more important part in curing the sick.
DNA nanobots may sound like science fiction, but recent research has shown that DNA nanobots are new tools to treat cancer and other diseases. Researchers use DNA to build nanobots, which can detect cancer cells and destroy them.
By providing assistance to hospitals, medical robotics can bring down the cost of healthcare, get rid of human error, reduce operating time, and free up staff for more pressing matters.
Thank you!

阅读下面材料:根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Putting down the book I was reading, I turned to my mum Phyllis.
“Next year, when I go to high school...,” I started, thinking of all the novels I’d soon be enjoying. But before I could finish my sentence, Mum cut me off.
“There will be no high school.” she said. “We don’t have money for uniforms or school shoes or books.”
It was 1963; I was 12 and had spent the whole of primary school not wearing any shoes, but I dreamed of being a teacher. My family were very poor and my three older siblings hadn’t gone on to high school. Two of them had started work and my older sister stayed home to help mum look after the younger kids. Two weeks before I turned 13, I started cutting threads off shirts in a clothing factory where I met George and later we married.
In time, we had our three kids Darcy, Georgina and Kelly. George found work on cattle stations so we moved to the outback in Western Queensland. I taught our three kids during their primary school years and that scratched my teaching itch a little, but the desire to study more never left me.
“When we retire. I want to go to university” I told George.
I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. After 40 years in the outback, we retired in 2015 and I seized my chance. At the age of 66. I enrolled in a program which helped mature students prepare for university. And then in 2017, I went to college, majoring in English education.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【范文】
Paragraph 1: Walking onto campus that first day in February 2017, it was clear I was the oldest student there. Nervous and clutching my notebook to my chest like a lifeline. But the headmaster approached me and said, “You’re brave. I hope our students could still chase dreams at your age.” His words lit something in me. I sat in lectures, sometimes lost but always eager. At night, I stayed up with a desk lamp and dictionaries, chasing the meanings behind poetry and prose. Each day, I felt my dream coming alive again, letter by letter. Three years later, I found myself standing on the stage of the graduation ceremony.
Paragraph 2: “This is a wonderful achievement,” the headmaster told me as he handed me my degree. The applause was loud, but the pounding of my heart was louder. My grandchildren cheered from the front row, waving a handmade sign that read “Go Grandma!” Tears blurred my vision as I looked down at the certificate. I thought of my mother, of dusty factory floors, of those barefoot days and shelved dreams. Now, in my seventies, I had finally become what I always longed to be. I smiled, an inner voice whispering, “It’s never too late to learn”.

第一部分 听力(略)
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Albuquerque Balloon Festival
Every autumn, the sky above the city of Albuquerque in the south-western United States turns into a mass of bright colours. This is the Albuquerque Balloon Festival, a nine-day event.
The first festival was held in 1972 to celebrate the 50th birthday of the local radio station. There were about 12 hot-air balloons and they took off from the car park in the middle of Albuquerque. From these small beginnings the festival has grown steadily. This year at least a thousand balloons are expected at its current out-of-town site.
What to do
The pilots light up the burners of their balloons at the same time. These are known as “balloon glows”. However, you must arrive just after night has fallen or before 5:30 am to see these “glows” as the balloons rise into the dark sky.
During the day, you can walk around among the balloons. The balloons come in all sizes and colours, some in the shapes of animals or cartoon characters.
In the afternoon, why not take to the sky yourself by booking a balloon flight with the Rainbow Ryders? This company is allowed to take guests during flight. Another possibility is to take the cable car (缆车) to the top of the nearby mountains and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the festival.
There are other attractions for visitors of all ages, including balloon races.
Practical advice
Tickets are available online. Buy them in advance and save yourself a long wait to get into the festival site. Wear several layers of clothing. At night and in the early morning it can be quite cool, but during the day sunglasses are necessary. Bring a flashlight for night-time events and, of course, bring your digital camera for evening and night-time pictures.
21. What do we know about the Albuquerque Balloon Festival?
A. It runs for nine days. B. It started as a big event.
C. It takes place every two years. D. It was held in memory of a pilot.
22. What can you do with the Rainbow Ryders during the festival?
A. Take a cable car tour. B. Ride a hot-air balloon.
C. Enter balloon competitions. D. Make balloons in different shapes.
23. What are you advised to do to attend the festival?
A. Wear cool clothes. B. Buy tickets online.
C. Arrive in the early morning. D. Take pictures in the daytime.
B
When Alex Petrie went to stay with his father, he noticed that the 75-year-old walked around several times during the night. This was worrying: his father lived alone and had recently been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia (路易体失智症).
“I was feeling quite nervous about it and wondered if he was doing it every night,” says Petrie. “It's not nice to think that he's worried or can't sleep properly.”
But Petrie had recently installed (安装) a smart home system, Howz, in his father's flat. It uses sensors to track movements, feeding the data into an app that family members and close friends can access. Once the Howz system has analysed and established someone's habitual way of doing things, it will send alerts (警报) to the app if there are any changes. For example, if a sensor usually senses movement before 8 am each day — signalling the time the person normally gets up — an alert will be sent if there has been no movement by that time. Relatives can then call in to make sure everything is okay.
Using the app, Petrie could see that his father usually got a good night's sleep and very rarely walked about during the night. With this knowledge, he was able to provide the right kind of support and care when his father did have a sleepless night.
Howz, which was developed by Intelesant, a Manchester-based health tech company, aims to help people live independently in their own homes and provide peace of mind for their relatives.
Petrie set up two sensors in his father's flat: one on the front door and another in the hall. “The door sensor is important as I can see whether his carers have visited. It doesn't tell me who has visited but it's easy to find out by the time of the day. The sensor in the hall covers the most commonly used area of the flat. It gives us a near-continuous view of whether he's up and about. It's a little safety net,” says Petrie.
24. What was the problem with Petrie's father?
A. He insisted on living alone. B. He didn't like the care home.
C. He always went out for a walk at night. D. He sometimes couldn't fall asleep at night.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How Howz works. B. How Howz is tested.
C. Who invented Howz. D. Why Howz was created.
26. What does Petrie think of Howz?
A. It isn't privacy-friendly. B. It isn't safe enough.
C. It is quite helpful. D. It is big business.
27. What does the author want to tell us in the text?
A. Tech shortens the distance between people.
B. Tech is benefiting people's daily life.
C. Tech affects the way people work.
D. Tech is slowing down aging.

A new study shows that the household consumers (家庭消费者) are focusing more on reducing their energy costs by using technologically advanced home appliances. The lighting control held the largest share in the smart home market in 2016. The increase in the adoption (采用) rate of intelligent lighting controls by households worldwide has fuelled the growth of the smart home market. These have the ability to reduce electricity consumption because they adjust (调节) the artificial light according to the surroundings.
Four years ago, I was in a discussion about Nest Thermostat (恒温器), sharing my view that if a house is built properly, it doesn't need a smart thermostat. It probably wouldn't do much good there because with careful placement of high-quality windows, you seldom need to heat or cool it at all. Since then, other studies have shown that in a leaky old house, smart thermostats can be very effective and save energy.
But is smart lighting saving energy? A smart lighting system might turn off or adjust the brightness of a bulb (灯泡), but an LED bulb already uses very little electricity, say 7 watts per bulb. But when you make it smart, it is always connected, consuming a bit of power to talk to the controller or bridge; one guy with a meter tested it at 0.4 watts per hour, or 9.6 watts in a day. It means that if you have a pile of smart bulbs and devices, you are consuming a fair bit of electricity.
Except for smart thermostats in leaky houses, none in the smart market saves energy. Asking Siri, voice control on any of Apple devices, to turn off the lights is fun, but we would be better off in terms of energy and exercise if we got up and reached for a light switch. Rather than saving energy, the smart home is wasting it.
28. What does the underlined word “fuelled” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Controlled. B. Promoted. C. Predicted. D. Detected.
29. What does the author think of smart thermostats?
A. They are well-designed. B. They are energy-efficient.
C. They are not very useful. D. They are not always automatic.
30. What does paragraph 3 mainly want to tell us?
A. LED bulbs are very bright.
B. LED bulbs are of little value.
C. Smart lighting has developed quickly.
D. Smart lighting does little to save electricity.
31. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?
A. To use Siri for fun.
B. To improve smart lighting.
C. To give up smart thermostats completely.
D. To turn to the traditional way of turning off lights.
D
Ten years ago, Britain’s first stretch of all-lane running (ALR)“smart” motorway was introduced, with more to follow. As a way to ease congestion (堵塞) without spending money on widening roads, ALR motorways function without a hard shoulder for drivers in difficulty. As they were rolled out, motorists were assured that the emergency lane would not be missed, as new technologies would be able to respond to breakdowns, and control traffic flow.
The public was understandably doubtful about how smart this idea was, and it turned out the public was right. Smart motorways without a hard shoulder have been found to be three times more dangerous than ones where drivers have that option. Behind the data lie terrible incidents, in which stationary (不动的) vehicles have been ploughed into from behind with serious consequences. Rightly, Rishi Sunak last year stopped plans for more ALR motorways, citing a lack of public confidence. But he should go further. The RAC this week called for a hard shoulder to be restored on all smart motorways. That advice should be listened to in Whitehall and acted upon. A 2021 House of Commons transport committee report made shockingly clear that before rolling the “no emergency lane” policy out, ministers driven by the desire to save money failed to do due diligence on the safety risks attached.
Since then, plans to retrofit (翻新) refuge areas along motorway routes have proceeded at a snail’s pace. Of the 150 emergency areas due to be in place by next year, only a tiny proportion have been delivered. Even when all are up and running, the risk of a catastrophic breakdown in onrushing traffic will remain.
At a minimum, the government should move to a system of “dynamic” motorways, where emergency lanes are only opened to traffic at particularly busy periods. But the preferable solution would be to restore a permanent hard shoulder. This could be done while keeping the benefits of investment in technical innovations that allow traffic to be better monitored and flexibly regulated. Mr Sunak did the right thing in bringing a foolish experiment to an end. The next task is to correct the damage already done.
32. Why were ALR motorways introduced?
A. To reduce serious traffic accidents. B. To relieve traffic jam at low costs.
C. To save money on road maintenance. D. To improve motorists’driving skills.
33. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. Roads with a hard shoulder posed little threat.
B. Smart motorways failed to win public favor.
C. Ministers were driven by the greed for money.
D. Rishi Sunak was forced to stop smart motorways.
34. What does the author suggest the government do?
A. Build more emergency areas. B. Invest in technical advances.
C. Calculate the potential damage. D. Keep a hard shoulder in place.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Smart Motorways Are Not Clever Without a Hard Shoulder
B. Smart Motorways Witnessed Catastrophic Breakdowns
C. Smart Motorways Benefit From Technological Innovation
D. Smart Motorways Raised the Doubts of the General Public

How to spot misinformation online
We’ve all seen it——an article online that seems absolutely crazy or unbelievable. 36 Misinformation isn’t just annoying, it can be false, misleading or even dangerous. But there’s good news: you have tools you can use to help sort through misinformation and identify what’s real and what’s fake.
Pause and be skeptical about new information. Whenever you come across an article or post that you haven’t seen before, take a second to consider it. Don’t just scroll by accepting it as fact without exercising some skepticism first. 37 It’s better to investigate information to make sure it’s legal before spreading it around.
38 Look up the information at the source to see if it was actually published there. Double-check the date of the article or information to make sure it’s current and still accurate. Usually, the date is located next to the author of the article.
Check to see if you can tell who the original author is. Find out who wrote the information by looking up the article or searching for their name. Check to see if the author is an expert who often covers the subject. If the author isn’t listed, it’s a sign that it could be false or misleading information. 39 .
Watch out for information that triggers a strong emotional response. ___40___ If you spot an article, a post or any other information that causes you to feel a super-strong emotion, be alerted. It could be a sign that it’s fake and designed to get a reaction out of you.
A. It’s okay to be doubtful!
B. Double-check the quote or the post.
C. Confirm the source and date of the information.
D. The thing is, there’s a lot of misinformation out there these days.
E. If only one place is reporting something, the information may be false.
F. Misinformation is often designed to make you feel angry, sad, or scared.
G. An article by a registered doctor is more credible than one without an author mentioned.

阅读下面材料:根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Putting down the book I was reading, I turned to my mum Phyllis.
“Next year, when I go to high school...,” I started, thinking of all the novels I’d soon be enjoying. But before I could finish my sentence, Mum cut me off.
“There will be no high school.” she said. “We don’t have money for uniforms or school shoes or books.”
It was 1963; I was 12 and had spent the whole of primary school not wearing any shoes, but I dreamed of being a teacher. My family were very poor and my three older siblings hadn’t gone on to high school. Two of them had started work and my older sister stayed home to help mum look after the younger kids. Two weeks before I turned 13, I started cutting threads off shirts in a clothing factory where I met George and later we married.
In time, we had our three kids Darcy, Georgina and Kelly. George found work on cattle stations so we moved to the outback in Western Queensland. I taught our three kids during their primary school years and that scratched my teaching itch a little, but the desire to study more never left me.
“When we retire. I want to go to university” I told George.
I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. After 40 years in the outback, we retired in 2015 and I seized my chance. At the age of 66. I enrolled in a program which helped mature students prepare for university. And then in 2017, I went to college, majoring in English education.

Dear friends,
The development of medical technology is creating a world where robots may play a more and more important part in curing the sick.
DNA nanobots may sound like science fiction, but recent research has shown that DNA nanobots are new tools to treat cancer and other diseases. Researchers use DNA to build nanobots, which can detect cancer cells and destroy them.
By providing assistance to hospitals, medical robotics can bring down the cost of healthcare, get rid of human error, reduce operating time, and free up staff for more pressing matters.
Thank you!

Paragraph 1: Walking onto campus that first day in February 2017, it was clear I was the oldest student there. Nervous and clutching my notebook to my chest like a lifeline. But the headmaster approached me and said, “You’re brave. I hope our students could still chase dreams at your age.” His words lit something in me. I sat in lectures, sometimes lost but always eager. At night, I stayed up with a desk lamp and dictionaries, chasing the meanings behind poetry and prose. Each day, I felt my dream coming alive again, letter by letter. Three years later, I found myself standing on the stage of the graduation ceremony.
Paragraph 2: “This is a wonderful achievement,” the headmaster told me as he handed me my degree. The applause was loud, but the pounding of my heart was louder. My grandchildren cheered from the front row, waving a handmade sign that read “Go Grandma!” Tears blurred my vision as I looked down at the certificate. I thought of my mother, of dusty factory floors, of those barefoot days and shelved dreams. Now, in my seventies, I had finally become what I always longed to be. I smiled, an inner voice whispering, “It’s never too late to learn”.
