一、阅读理解
A
Imagine picking up a nice juicy apple — but instead of biting into it, you keep the seeds and throw the rest away. That’s what chocolate producers have traditionally done with the cocoa fruit — used the beans and threw away the rest.
Traditional chocolate production, using only the beans, involves leaving the rest of the cocoa fruit — the size of a pumpkin and full of nutritious value — to rot in the fields.
But now food scientists in Switzerland have come up with a way to make chocolate using the entire cocoa fruit and without using sugar. The chocolate, developed by scientist Kim Mishra and his team, includes the cocoa fruit, the juice, and the shell.
The key to the new chocolate lies in the very sweet juice, which tastes a bit like pineapple. This juice, which is 14% sugar, is made to form a highly concentrated syrup(高浓度糖浆).
Roger Wehrli, director of the association of Swiss chocolate producers, sees the new chocolate as “very promising... If you use the whole cocoa fruit, you can get better prices. So it’s economically interesting for the farmers.”
Food production involves letting out significant greenhouse gas, so reducing food waste could also help to deal with climate change. Chocolate, may not by itself be a huge factor, but it could be a start.
In Switzerland, some of the bigger producers are starting to use the cocoa fruit as well as the beans, but none, so far, has taken the step of not using extra sugar completely. “We have to find brave chocolate producers who want to test the market,” says Mr. Mishra.
1. Which of the following is the new way of dealing with cocoa?
A. Only using the seeds. B. Only using the leaves.
C. Using the entire plant. D. Using the entire fruit.
2. Where does the sugar of the new chocolate comes from?
A. apple B. pineapple C. the juice D. the shell
3. In the opinion of Roger, who will be most satisfied with the new chocolate?
A. the farmers B. the scientists C. the producers D. the buyers
4. In which aspect will the new chocolate lead the way in food production?
A. Getting better price. B. Protecting the environment.
C. Testing the market. D. Adding some extra sugar.

(2024-2025学年安徽师范大学附属中学高中自主招生考试英语)Jim was a young man in his early twenties who was studying to be a carpenter. He was a good worker, honest and worthy of trust, so his boss was pleased with him. As he was such a likable man and easy to deal with, he was popular with his workmates, too. They also made fun of him a great deal but he never got angry with them and would only laugh.
But Jim’s one great shortcoming(缺点) was that he could never tell a lie, no matter how hard he tried, not even a little one. In fact, he was so honest and shy that he would blush even when he was telling the truth. He used to stand in front of the mirror and practise lying while looking himself in the eyes at the same time. But as soon as he saw his face starting to go red he had to look away.
One morning, however, he didn’t feel like going to work because he had been to a party the night before and it hadn’t ended till the early hours of the morning. And so far the first time in his life he decided to take the day off. He rang his boss, pretending to be a woman. “I’m afraid Jim can’t come to work today. He isn’t feeling very well.”
Poor Jim was thankful that his boss couldn’t see him just at that moment because his hands were trembling(发抖) and his face was bright red.
“Thank you for letting me know,” said Mr. Woods, his boss, and then just as he was about to hang up, he said, “just a moment, madam, who’s speaking.”
“Oh!” he stammered(口吃的说), and going all out for making a voice like a woman, he cried in a voice: “This is my mother speaking!”
5. What do we know about Jim?
A. He trusted people easily.
B. He got along well with people.
C. He was only popular with his boss.
D. He liked to make fun of his workmates.
6. What does the underlined word “blush” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Stammer. B. Look away C. Go red. D. Feel cold
7. Why did Jim try to practise lying?
A. To avoid being laughed at by his workmates.
B. To overcome his shortcoming.
C. To get his boss pleased with him.
D. To get ready for getting a day off.
8. At the end of the story we can learn that ________.
A. Jim successfully told a lie. B. Jim’s mother told a lie.
C. Jim’s boss could tell that Jim lied D. Jim had a woman in his house

In a breakthrough that could revolutionize energy transmission and computing, scientists announced the development of the world’s first room-temperature superconductor. This achievement promises to eliminate electrical resistance entirely, making power grids(电网) 100% efficient and enabling quantum (量子) computers to operate at scale.
Superconductivity, the ability to conduct electricity with zero resistance, was first observed in 1911. However, all known superconductors required extremely low temperatures or high pressures to function, limiting their practical use. The new material, a compound of hydrogen, sulfur, and carbon, achieves superconductivity at a mild 21℃ and ambient(环境的) pressure, an achievement once thought impossible.
The implications are profound. For energy systems, room-temperature superconductors could drastically reduce global energy waste. Currently, up to 10% of electricity is lost as heat during transmission. With superconductors, this loss would disappear, lowering energy demand and carbon emissions. In computing, the material could solve a major bottleneck in quantum computing: decoherence(退相干). Quantum bits lose their state rapidly at room temperature, but superconductors could stabilize them, leading to much faster quantum computers.
The research team spent five years experimenting with different compositions. They used a high-pressure diamond anvil cell to synthesize(合成) the compound, then gradually reduced the pressure. To their surprise, the material maintained its superconducting capabilities at normal atmospheric pressure. “This changes everything,” said lead researcher Dr. Elena Rodriguez. “Superconductivity can now be integrated into everyday technology.”
Despite the excitement, challenges remain. The new material is currently only produced in small, fragile samples, and scaling up production will require further innovation. Additionally, the compound contains highly reactive hydrogen, posing stability challenges. Researchers are working on modifying the material’s structure to address these issues, aiming to commercialize it within a decade.
As the scientific community builds on this discovery, the world watches closely. A room-temperature superconductor is not just a scientific achievement — it is a gateway to a more efficient, sustainable future.
9. What is the main advantage of the new superconductor?
A. It can operate in normal conditions.
B. It is made of more common elements.
C. It is the first superconductor ever discovered.
D. It can conduct electricity with zero resistance.
10. How can the new superconductor benefit the environment?
A. By reducing the need for quantum computers.
B. By making fossil fuel power plants out of date.
C. By reducing energy waste and carbon emissions.
D. By enabling more efficient recycling of materials.
11. What was a key step in the research?
A. Using a new approach to create the compound.
B. Replacing hydrogen with a more stable element.
C. Cooling the material at extremely low temperatures.
D. Developing a cost-efficient type of quantum computer.
12. What does the author imply about the future of the technology?
A. The scientific community is divided on its practical value.
B. There are still obstacles to overcome before it is widely used.
C. It will soon make quantum computing accessible to everyone.
D. It will replace all existing energy transmission systems immediately.
D
It seems like such a simple, straightforward idea: plant trees — a lot of trees — all over the world, and watch the planet’s temperature fall. Planting trees is definitely a good way to improve air quality, promote biodiversity and absorb harmful carbon dioxide emissions from the air. However, if it’s done in the wrong way it could have a negative effect on our environment. Unfortunately, that might be the case when it comes to carbon-offset(碳补偿) planting — a popular method for some companies to offset their carbon footprint. A new study published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution found that carbon-offset tree plantations may decimate healthy ecosystems. “It is crucial to shift from the narrow focus on carbon and adopt a more holistic(全面的) perspective if we aim to effectively conserve and restore natural ecosystems,” said lead author Jesus Aguirre-Guitierrez, a researcher at the University of Oxford.
Forests are one of our best lines of defence against climate change and restoring them is crucial, but this can’t be a substitute for reducing carbon emissions directly. A newly-planted tree can take as many as 20 years to capture the amount of CO2 that a carbon-offset scheme promises. We would have to plant and protect a massive number of trees for decades to offset even a small part of global emissions. Even then, there is always the risk that these efforts will be wiped out by droughts, wildfires, tree diseases and deforestation.
Ecosystems are incredibly biodiverse, containing different tree and plant species, but carbon-offset planting typically involves just a few tree species. Planting these trees in an ecosystem while financially beneficial damages biodiversity and ultimately harms the very areas that they were supposed to help.
Yet some fossil-fuel companies rely on carbon-offset planting in order to reach “net zero carbon emission”. It’s such an easy way to look like they’re doing their part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In reality, the best thing that they can do is work towards preserving current ecosystems and reducing their actual carbon footprint directly.
13. What is the main concern raised in the passage about carbon-offset tree plantations?
A. They may not effectively reduce global warming.
B. They could harm local ecosystems and biodiversity.
C. They are too expensive to implement on a large scale.
D. They require too much time to have a noticeable impact.
14. According to Jesus Aguirre-Guitierrez, what is crucial for protecting natural ecosystems?
A. Focusing only on carbon reduction.
B. Adopting a holistic attitude.
C. Planting a large number of trees quickly.
D. Relying on fossil fuels for energy.
15. What is a key limitation of newly-planted trees in carbon-offset schemes?
A. They take a long time to capture significant amounts of CO2.
B. They are susceptible to droughts and wildfires.
C. They are only effective in certain types of ecosystems.
D. They are often planted in areas with high biodiversity.
16. Which of the following statements about carbon-offset planting is TRUE?
A. It typically involves planting a wide variety of tree species.
B. It is always beneficial to ecosystems, regardless of where the trees are planted.
C. Some companies use it as a way to appear environmentally responsible.
D. It results in significant carbon capture compared to the emissions of fossil-fuel companies.

Schools across the world are trying to come up with creative solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing conventional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted an innovative program that entails(需要) riding bikes while reading.
Scott Ertl came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one bike in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading sessions.
It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary School has a special exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.
Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release pent-up energy during days when the weather is not conducive to outdoor activities.
Most importantly, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astounding 83% reading proficiency(能力). Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%.
Though the improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to(归因于) programs like Read and Ride, experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. As word of the difference made by this easy-to-execute exercise program spreads, don’t be surprised to find schools across the country adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.
17. What does Scott Ertl do according to the passage?
A. An expert. B. A coach C. A bike maker. D. A teacher.
18. Which of the following is the most important benefit of “Read and Ride”?
A. Contributing to improving students’ reading ability.
B. Helping students build up their bodies.
C. Having students’ riding ability improved.
D. Making students interested in reading.
19. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Ward Elementary School hasn’t adopted the Read and Ride program.
B. Schools all over the USA will adopt “Read and Ride” soon.
C. Students in Ward Elementary School created the Read and Ride program.
D. The improvement of students’ reading ability completely results from “the Read and Ride program”.
20. The author’s attitude towards the Read and Ride program may be described as ________.
A. disapproving B. negative C. positive D. doubtful
二、完形填空
In a small Oregon town, Sarah lives with her three children. Every Wednesday, she pushes her old shopping cart to Hank’s grocery. The price tags feel like serious 21 , forcing her to calculate if she can afford milk and bread. That day, when the checkout screen flashed $47.85, she frantically(慌乱地) searched her canvas jacket pockets—she had left her 22 at home.
“It’s alright,” Maggie the cashier said 23 , “We can hold these for you.” A rustle of 24 traveled through the line. Embarrassed, Sarah met gentle blue-grey eyes. A man in a flannel(法兰绒) shirt quietly 25 his card: “Please, allow me.” As he bent down for a can that had rolled away, Sarah noticed wood dust on his 26 cuff (袖口)—a working man, not wealthy himself.
That gift of $47.85 planted a 27 in Sarah’s heart. The following Sunday, she showed up at the Warm Light Food Bank—and there he was, moving potatoes. He was one of the 28 who started the project. From that day on, Sarah volunteered weekly, 29 donated clothes. Her daughter drew sunflowers on food boxes, and her twin boys learned to 30 canned goods.
Three years later, on Thanksgiving morning, Sarah stood at the food bank, 31 meal boxes to two hundred families. She watched her once-shy twins confidently 32 new volunteers how to use the scanner. Morning light filtered through icicles(冰锥) , scattering rainbows in the steam-filled room. That initial kindness ignited a cycle of 33 through seasons—as Sarah often told her children: “Every 34 of kindness we catch is worth nurturing into a 35 that illuminates(照亮) others.”

三、语法填空
Why make things simple when they can be complicated, then 36 (short)?
French officialdom is abuzz with preparations for the PFUE, which the MEAE and SGAE are organising for the PR in 2022. Lost? Spare a thought for the outsider 37 must daily navigate the French passion for acronyms and initialisms.
All countries use them, but France has a particular penchant. The 38 (late) PFUE refers to the French Presidency of the European Union, which starts 39 January 2022.
No matter. The abbreviation is already everywhere, and, as the opening sentence says, officials from the foreign ministry and a secretariat in the prime minister’s office are preparing this occasion 40 the president.
The 41 (prefer) of the French for abbreviations is so ingrained 42 they scarcely notice it. Britain may have its NHS, or America NASA.
What is behind this zeal? Some date it to the 43 (organise) of the modern state in the late 19th century, when bodies such as unions (CGT) or the political movements that later joined together as the SFIO, the precursor to the Socialist Party (PS), emerged, and with them the complex names that deserved shortening.
Perhaps it is also the result of the state’s tendency to bureaucratic complication; an acronym can 44 (simple) rather than confuse. So the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (the national railway) becomes the less indigestible SNCF.
The fact that practitioners of such an elegant language infect it with such abominations has not gone unnoticed. The Académie Française, 45 polices such matters, recommends that when it comes to acronyms “moderation is a good thing and abuse dangerous.”
Curiously, one of the few spheres in which the French leave pro li x descriptions alone is food. No CDC for confit de canard, nor BDV for blanquette de veau. Organisational or bureaucratic life, it seems, is to be tolerated and shortened. Gastronomy can take its time.
四、应用文写作

1. 丢失地点与时间;
2. 书包颜色与装的东西。

Imagine picking up a nice juicy apple — but instead of biting into it, you keep the seeds and throw the rest away. That’s what chocolate producers have traditionally done with the cocoa fruit — used the beans and threw away the rest.
Traditional chocolate production, using only the beans, involves leaving the rest of the cocoa fruit — the size of a pumpkin and full of nutritious value — to rot in the fields.
But now food scientists in Switzerland have come up with a way to make chocolate using the entire cocoa fruit and without using sugar. The chocolate, developed by scientist Kim Mishra and his team, includes the cocoa fruit, the juice, and the shell.
The key to the new chocolate lies in the very sweet juice, which tastes a bit like pineapple. This juice, which is 14% sugar, is made to form a highly concentrated syrup(高浓度糖浆).
Roger Wehrli, director of the association of Swiss chocolate producers, sees the new chocolate as “very promising... If you use the whole cocoa fruit, you can get better prices. So it’s economically interesting for the farmers.”
Food production involves letting out significant greenhouse gas, so reducing food waste could also help to deal with climate change. Chocolate, may not by itself be a huge factor, but it could be a start.
In Switzerland, some of the bigger producers are starting to use the cocoa fruit as well as the beans, but none, so far, has taken the step of not using extra sugar completely. “We have to find brave chocolate producers who want to test the market,” says Mr. Mishra.
1. Which of the following is the new way of dealing with cocoa?
A. Only using the seeds. B. Only using the leaves.
C. Using the entire plant. D. Using the entire fruit.
2. Where does the sugar of the new chocolate comes from?
A. apple B. pineapple C. the juice D. the shell
3. In the opinion of Roger, who will be most satisfied with the new chocolate?
A. the farmers B. the scientists C. the producers D. the buyers
4. In which aspect will the new chocolate lead the way in food production?
A. Getting better price. B. Protecting the environment.
C. Testing the market. D. Adding some extra sugar.

(2024-2025学年安徽师范大学附属中学高中自主招生考试英语)Jim was a young man in his early twenties who was studying to be a carpenter. He was a good worker, honest and worthy of trust, so his boss was pleased with him. As he was such a likable man and easy to deal with, he was popular with his workmates, too. They also made fun of him a great deal but he never got angry with them and would only laugh.
But Jim’s one great shortcoming(缺点) was that he could never tell a lie, no matter how hard he tried, not even a little one. In fact, he was so honest and shy that he would blush even when he was telling the truth. He used to stand in front of the mirror and practise lying while looking himself in the eyes at the same time. But as soon as he saw his face starting to go red he had to look away.
One morning, however, he didn’t feel like going to work because he had been to a party the night before and it hadn’t ended till the early hours of the morning. And so far the first time in his life he decided to take the day off. He rang his boss, pretending to be a woman. “I’m afraid Jim can’t come to work today. He isn’t feeling very well.”
Poor Jim was thankful that his boss couldn’t see him just at that moment because his hands were trembling(发抖) and his face was bright red.
“Thank you for letting me know,” said Mr. Woods, his boss, and then just as he was about to hang up, he said, “just a moment, madam, who’s speaking.”

In a breakthrough that could revolutionize energy transmission and computing, scientists announced the development of the world’s first room-temperature superconductor. This achievement promises to eliminate electrical resistance entirely, making power grids(电网) 100% efficient and enabling quantum (量子) computers to operate at scale.
Superconductivity, the ability to conduct electricity with zero resistance, was first observed in 1911. However, all known superconductors required extremely low temperatures or high pressures to function, limiting their practical use. The new material, a compound of hydrogen, sulfur, and carbon, achieves superconductivity at a mild 21℃ and ambient(环境的) pressure, an achievement once thought impossible.
The implications are profound. For energy systems, room-temperature superconductors could drastically reduce global energy waste. Currently, up to 10% of electricity is lost as heat during transmission. With superconductors, this loss would disappear, lowering energy demand and carbon emissions. In computing, the material could solve a major bottleneck in quantum computing: decoherence(退相干). Quantum bits lose their state rapidly at room temperature, but superconductors could stabilize them, leading to much faster quantum computers.
The research team spent five years experimenting with different compositions. They used a high-pressure diamond anvil cell to synthesize(合成) the compound, then gradually reduced the pressure. To their surprise, the material maintained its superconducting capabilities at normal atmospheric pressure. “This changes everything,” said lead researcher Dr. Elena Rodriguez. “Superconductivity can now be integrated into everyday technology.”
Despite the excitement, challenges remain. The new material is currently only produced in small, fragile samples, and scaling up production will require further innovation. Additionally, the compound contains highly reactive hydrogen, posing stability challenges. Researchers are working on modifying the material’s structure to address these issues, aiming to commercialize it within a decade.
As the scientific community builds on this discovery, the world watches closely. A room-temperature superconductor is not just a scientific achievement — it is a gateway to a more efficient, sustainable future.
9. What is the main advantage of the new superconductor?
A. It can operate in normal conditions.
B. It is made of more common elements.
C. It is the first superconductor ever discovered.
D. It can conduct electricity with zero resistance.
10. How can the new superconductor benefit the environment?
A. By reducing the need for quantum computers.
B. By making fossil fuel power plants out of date.
C. By reducing energy waste and carbon emissions.
D. By enabling more efficient recycling of materials.
11. What was a key step in the research?
A. Using a new approach to create the compound.
B. Replacing hydrogen with a more stable element.
C. Cooling the material at extremely low temperatures.
D. Developing a cost-efficient type of quantum computer.
12. What does the author imply about the future of the technology?
A. The scientific community is divided on its practical value.
B. There are still obstacles to overcome before it is widely used.
C. It will soon make quantum computing accessible to everyone.
D. It will replace all existing energy transmission systems immediately.

It seems like such a simple, straightforward idea: plant trees — a lot of trees — all over the world, and watch the planet’s temperature fall. Planting trees is definitely a good way to improve air quality, promote biodiversity and absorb harmful carbon dioxide emissions from the air. However, if it’s done in the wrong way it could have a negative effect on our environment. Unfortunately, that might be the case when it comes to carbon-offset(碳补偿) planting — a popular method for some companies to offset their carbon footprint. A new study published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution found that carbon-offset tree plantations may decimate healthy ecosystems. “It is crucial to shift from the narrow focus on carbon and adopt a more holistic(全面的) perspective if we aim to effectively conserve and restore natural ecosystems,” said lead author Jesus Aguirre-Guitierrez, a researcher at the University of Oxford.
Forests are one of our best lines of defence against climate change and restoring them is crucial, but this can’t be a substitute for reducing carbon emissions directly. A newly-planted tree can take as many as 20 years to capture the amount of CO2 that a carbon-offset scheme promises. We would have to plant and protect a massive number of trees for decades to offset even a small part of global emissions. Even then, there is always the risk that these efforts will be wiped out by droughts, wildfires, tree diseases and deforestation.
Ecosystems are incredibly biodiverse, containing different tree and plant species, but carbon-offset planting typically involves just a few tree species. Planting these trees in an ecosystem while financially beneficial damages biodiversity and ultimately harms the very areas that they were supposed to help.
Yet some fossil-fuel companies rely on carbon-offset planting in order to reach “net zero carbon emission”. It’s such an easy way to look like they’re doing their part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In reality, the best thing that they can do is work towards preserving current ecosystems and reducing their actual carbon footprint directly.
13. What is the main concern raised in the passage about carbon-offset tree plantations?
A. They may not effectively reduce global warming.
B. They could harm local ecosystems and biodiversity.
C. They are too expensive to implement on a large scale.
D. They require too much time to have a noticeable impact.
14. According to Jesus Aguirre-Guitierrez, what is crucial for protecting natural ecosystems?
A. Focusing only on carbon reduction.
B. Adopting a holistic attitude.
C. Planting a large number of trees quickly.
D. Relying on fossil fuels for energy.
15. What is a key limitation of newly-planted trees in carbon-offset schemes?
A. They take a long time to capture significant amounts of CO2.
B. They are susceptible to droughts and wildfires.
C. They are only effective in certain types of ecosystems.
D. They are often planted in areas with high biodiversity.
16. Which of the following statements about carbon-offset planting is TRUE?
A. It typically involves planting a wide variety of tree species.
B. It is always beneficial to ecosystems, regardless of where the trees are planted.
C. Some companies use it as a way to appear environmentally responsible.
D. It results in significant carbon capture compared to the emissions of fossil-fuel companies.

Schools across the world are trying to come up with creative solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing conventional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted an innovative program that entails(需要) riding bikes while reading.
Scott Ertl came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one bike in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading sessions.
It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary School has a special exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.
Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release pent-up energy during days when the weather is not conducive to outdoor activities.
Most importantly, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astounding 83% reading proficiency(能力). Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%.
Though the improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to(归因于) programs like Read and Ride, experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. As word of the difference made by this easy-to-execute exercise program spreads, don’t be surprised to find schools across the country adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.
17. What does Scott Ertl do according to the passage?
A. An expert. B. A coach C. A bike maker. D. A teacher.
18. Which of the following is the most important benefit of “Read and Ride”?
A. Contributing to improving students’ reading ability.
B. Helping students build up their bodies.
C. Having students’ riding ability improved.
D. Making students interested in reading.
19. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Ward Elementary School hasn’t adopted the Read and Ride program.
B. Schools all over the USA will adopt “Read and Ride” soon.
C. Students in Ward Elementary School created the Read and Ride program.
D. The improvement of students’ reading ability completely results from “the Read and Ride program”.
20. The author’s attitude towards the Read and Ride program may be described as ________.
A. disapproving B. negative C. positive D. doubtful
【答案】17. D 18. A 19. B 20. C

As word of the difference made by this easy-to-execute exercise program spreads, don’t be surprised to find schools across the country adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.(这是因为有研究表明,体育活动能刺激脑细胞,为学习做好准备。随着这项简单易实施的运动项目所带来的改变逐渐为人所知,看到全国各地的学校都为学生采用“阅读骑行”项目,也就不足为奇了。)”可知,该项目反响较好。由此可推测,美国各地学校可能很快会采用该项目。故选B。
20. 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Most importantly, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astounding 83% reading proficiency(能力). Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%.(然而,该项目最重要的价值在于其学术效益。“阅读骑行”项目在沃德小学推行一年后,积极参与项目的学生展现出了惊人的阅读能力——熟练度高达83%。而那些未使用健身自行车的学生,阅读熟练度则低得多,仅为41%。)”以及最后一段“As word of the difference made by this easy-to-execute exercise program spreads, don’t be surprised to find schools across the country adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.(随着这项简单易实施的运动项目所带来的改变逐渐为人所知,看到全国各地的学校都为学生采用“阅读骑行”项目,也就不足为奇了。)”可知,作者对该项目的态度是认可和支持的,即积极的。故选C。
二、完形填空
In a small Oregon town, Sarah lives with her three children. Every Wednesday, she pushes her old shopping cart to Hank’s grocery. The price tags feel like serious 21 , forcing her to calculate if she can afford milk and bread. That day, when the checkout screen flashed $47.85, she frantically(慌乱地) searched her canvas jacket pockets—she had left her 22 at home.
“It’s alright,” Maggie the cashier said 23 , “We can hold these for you.” A rustle of 24 traveled through the line. Embarrassed, Sarah met gentle blue-grey eyes. A man in a flannel(法兰绒) shirt quietly 25 his card: “Please, allow me.” As he bent down for a can that had rolled away, Sarah noticed wood dust on his 26 cuff (袖口)—a working man, not wealthy himself.
That gift of $47.85 planted a 27 in Sarah’s heart. The following Sunday, she showed up at the Warm Light Food Bank—and there he was, moving potatoes. He was one of the 28 who started the project. From that day on, Sarah volunteered weekly, 29 donated clothes. Her daughter drew sunflowers on food boxes, and her twin boys learned to 30 canned goods.
Three years later, on Thanksgiving morning, Sarah stood at the food bank, 31 meal boxes to two hundred families. She watched her once-shy twins confidently 32 new volunteers how to use the scanner. Morning light filtered through icicles(冰锥) , scattering rainbows in the steam-filled room. That initial kindness ignited a cycle of 33 through seasons—as Sarah often told her children: “Every 34 of kindness we catch is worth nurturing into a 35 that illuminates(照亮) others.”

三、语法填空
Why make things simple when they can be complicated, then 36 (short)?
French officialdom is abuzz with preparations for the PFUE, which the MEAE and SGAE are organising for the PR in 2022. Lost? Spare a thought for the outsider 37 must daily navigate the French passion for acronyms and initialisms.
All countries use them, but France has a particular penchant. The 38 (late) PFUE refers to the French Presidency of the European Union, which starts 39 January 2022.
No matter. The abbreviation is already everywhere, and, as the opening sentence says, officials from the foreign ministry and a secretariat in the prime minister’s office are preparing this occasion 40 the president.
The 41 (prefer) of the French for abbreviations is so ingrained 42 they scarcely notice it. Britain may have its NHS, or America NASA.
What is behind this zeal? Some date it to the 43 (organise) of the modern state in the late 19th century, when bodies such as unions (CGT) or the political movements that later joined together as the SFIO, the precursor to the Socialist Party (PS), emerged, and with them the complex names that deserved shortening.
Perhaps it is also the result of the state’s tendency to bureaucratic complication; an acronym can 44 (simple) rather than confuse. So the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (the national railway) becomes the less indigestible SNCF.
The fact that practitioners of such an elegant language infect it with such abominations has not gone unnoticed. The Académie Française, 45 polices such matters, recommends that when it comes to acronyms “moderation is a good thing and abuse dangerous.”
Curiously, one of the few spheres in which the French leave pro li x descriptions alone is food. No CDC for confit de canard, nor BDV for blanquette de veau. Organisational or bureaucratic life, it seems, is to be tolerated and shortened. Gastronomy can take its time.
【答案】
36. shortened 37. who/that 38. latest 39. in 40. for
41. preference 42. that 43. organisation/organization 44. simplify 45. Which
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了法国对缩写词的喜爱及其背后原因与相关建议 。
36. 考查非谓语动词。 句意:当东西可以是复杂的,为何要使其简单化,然后被缩写呢?空处在句中作宾语补足语,short形容词“短的”,此处指“缩短”,应先变成动词形式shorten,shorten与宾语things之间为被动关系,应用过去分词的形式。故填shortened。
37. 考查定语从句。句意:迷失了吗?想想那些每天都要在法国人对缩写词和首字母缩略词的狂热中摸索的外来者吧。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the outsider,指人,且从句中缺少主语,应用关系代词who/that引导。故填who/that。
38. 考查形容词。句意:最新的PFUE指的是法国担任欧盟轮值主席国,该职位于2022年1月开始。空处应用形容词作定语,修饰PFUE,此处表达“最新的”,应用形容词latest。故填latest。
39. 考查介词。 句意:最新的PFUE指的是法国担任欧盟轮值主席国,该职位于2022年1月开始。在月份前应用介词in。故填in。
40. 考查介词。 句意:正如开头所说,缩写词已经无处不在,外交部的官员和总理办公室的一个秘书处正在为总统准备这次活动。prepare...for...“为……准备……”为固定搭配。故填for。
41. 考查名词。 句意:法国人对缩写词的偏好是如此根深蒂固,以至于他们几乎注意不到。根据空前定冠词The以及空后of可知,空处应用名词作主语,prefer的名词形式为preference“偏好,偏爱”,为不可数名词。故填preference。
42. 考查结果状语从句。 句意:法国人对缩写词的偏好是如此根深蒂固,以至于他们几乎注意不到。so...that...“如此……以至于……”,空处应用that引导结果状语从句。故填that。
43. 考查名词。 句意:有些人将其追溯到19世纪后期现代国家的组织构建,当时像工会(CGT)或后来联合成为社会党(PS)前身的法国社会党(SFIO)这样的政治运动出现了,随之而来的是那些值得缩短的复杂名称。空处应用名词作介词to的宾语,由下文的“unions (CGT) or the political movements that later joined together as the SFIO, the precursor to the Socialist Party (PS)”可知,此处应用名词organisation/organization表示“组织构建”。故填organisation/organization。
44. 考查动词。 句意:也许这也是国家官僚主义复杂化的结果;缩写词可以简化,而不是混淆。情态动词can后应用动词原形,与confuse并列,simple的动词形式为simplify“简化,使简单”。故填simplify。
45. 考查定语从句。 句意:法国学术院负责监管此类事务,它建议在使用缩写词时“适度是好事,滥用是危险的”。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词The Académie Française,指物,且从句中缺少主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
