As a keen and able student, Huang went to the UK in 1992 ____15____ (further) his studies. By the time Huang moved back to China in 2009, he ____16____ (work) in the UK for 17 years. He had a good job and a life there, but he gave it all up to return home, ____17____ (drive) by the idea that he needed to contribute to his country. As one of the world’s leading experts in deep earth exploration technology, Huang was approached to participate in the Thousand Talent programme. He took up a position at Jilin University, Changchun. 【答案】15. to further  16. had worked##had been working   17. driven 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了黄大年的生平。 【15题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：作为一位勤奋且有能力的学生，黄于1992年前往英国进一步深造。本句谓语为went，此处为非谓语动词，应用further“促进，增进”的不定式，作目的状语。故填to further。 【16题详解】 考查时态。句意：到2009年黄大年回国时，他已经英国工作了17年。work“工作”。根据本句的时间状语“By the time Huang moved back to China in 2009”可知，从句的动作（返回中国）发生在2009年，而主句的动作（在英国工作）是在这个时间点之前就已经完成的动作，因此主句时态需要使用过去完成时态。主句也可以用过去完成进行时had been working，强调在2009年之前已经开始，并且持续了一段时间的动作，强调这段时间内的持续状态。故填had worked或had been working。 【17题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他在那里有一份不错的工作和生活，但他放弃了一切，回到了家乡，因为他觉得自己需要为国家做贡献。but后句子的谓语为gave up，空处应为非谓语动词，drive“驱动”与主语he之间为被动关系，应用过去分词，作状语。故填driven。 C 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容或括号内所给词的恰当形式填空。 Giant pandas ____18____ (love) around the world for their cute faces and gentle nature.

Over the years, it had grown into two shops with 11 workers, but Allamby had become uneasy, longing for something more. Therefore, at the age of 34, he decided to go for his bachelor’s degree in business management. After taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take biology to get his degree, which later turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. Biology classes reawakened a childhood dream that he had hidden somewhere deep within himself. Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Allamby was raised by his stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed (医学预科的) path. Even if it had, doing well in school could prove dangerous. “You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd (讨厌的人),” Allamby said. So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead. But a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class at age 39. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his family he soon decided to skip business school to take science classes. Becoming a doctor was late and he would become a nurse instead he reasoned. But Allamby’s chemistry professor told him “Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work. You will go a long way.” The professor was right and Allamby did very well. In 2015, Allamby cut ties with his past, and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby, MD. He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General. “How many people can do something so brand-new at such a late stage in their life?” he said. “My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 24. Why was taking biology “the best thing that ever happened” to Allamby? A. It ensured him a bachelor’s degree. B. It developed his potential to become a doctor. C. It brought about positive transition in his life. D. It satisfied his childhood curiosity about doctors. 25. What is the author’s purpose in writing Para. 3? A. To describe Allamby’s difficulty in school. B. To introduce Allamby’s family background. C. To explain why Allamby once gave up his dream. D. To show how Allamby struggled in his childhood. 26. What do we know from the chemistry professor’s words? A. He appreciated Allamby’s courage. B. He recognized Allamby’s capability. C. He suggested Allamby should aim lower. D. He thought Allamby was too old to be a doctor. 27. What does Allamby’s story mainly tell us? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Education holds the key to success. C. A tough man can bear great suffering. D. It’s never too late to pursue your dream. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了出身贫寒的Carl Allamby在年近50岁的时候克服重重困难，实现了自己儿时的医生梦。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In 2015, Allamby cut ties with his past, and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby, MD. He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General.(在2015年，Allamby与他的过去断绝了联系，然后他开始在东北俄亥俄医科大学工作。2019年，Carl Allamby成为Carl Allamby医学博士。他在克利夫兰诊所阿克伦总医院找到了一份急诊医学工作)”可推知，学生物学对Allamby来说是“发生过的最好的事情”是因为这给他的生活带来了积极的转变。故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Allamby was raised by his stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed path. Even if it had, doing well in school could prove dangerous. “You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd,” Allamby said. So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead.(Allamby出生在俄亥俄州的东克利夫兰，他的母亲是全职主妇，父亲是挨家挨户推销家居用品的。他的学校没有提供可能让他走上医学预科之路的高级科学课程。即便如此，在学校表现良好也可能是危险的。“如果你只是班里的书呆子，你可能会惹上很多麻烦，”Allamby说。所以他把当医生的念头搁在一边，开始修车)”可推知，作者写第3段的目的是来解释为什么Allamby曾经放弃了他的梦想。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But Allamby’s chemistry professor told him ”Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work. You will go a long way.” (但是Allamby的化学教授告诉他：“为什么不去当医生呢？你对这项工作很有天赋。你会大有作为的。”)”可知，从化学教授的话中我们知道他认识到Allamby的能力。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““How many people can do something so brand-new at such a late stage in their life?” he said. “My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.”(“有多少人能在生命的晚期做一些如此全新的事情？”他说。“我的年龄和过去的职业生涯都是我不应该在这里的好理由。然而，我却在这里。”)”可推知，Allamby的故事主要告诉了我们追求梦想永远都不晚。故选D项。 C In the last few years, we have seen environmental disasters on a grand scale, and experts are predicting worse to come. Jin Li reports on our Earth’s Changeable weather patterns. Thunderstorms, floods, earthquakes, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and forest fires have become increasingly common. There have been terrible floods in Asia, Africa, America and Oceania. Storms have been getting worse everywhere too, with more hurricanes hitting the US and Central America. Reduced rainfall has affected Africa for years, with severe droughts in Somalia and Kenya in 2017, as well as many other zones becoming drier. Reduced rainfall in Canada resulted in a huge forest fire in 2016. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes have always been a threat. In 2016, there were three volcanic eruptions at almost the same time in Indonesia. There have been serious earthquakes in many parts of Asia, Europe and South America. A massive earthquake hit central Italy in August 2016, killing at least 247 people. So Why is nature beginning to turn on us? One answer is overpopulation. The population of the world is growing at the rate of 10,000 people an hour, nearly 90 million a year. Most of the growth is in the developing world. On top of that, there is the added aspect of global warming. This has mainly been caused by the huge amounts of carbon dioxide produced by factories and vehicles. The destruction of the world’s forests plays a part, too. As a result, a hotter ocean causes stronger winds. Atlantic hurricanes are 40% stronger now than they were 30 years ago. Landslides and earthquakes are even more dangerous now than in the past because around half of the world’s population now live in cities. Many people in cities and towns in South America and Asia are at risk from landslides. In April 2017, the city of Mocoa in Colombia was hit by a landslide, leaving many dead and injured. A great number of people live at risk from earthquakes too. These have claimed more than 1.6 million lives in the last hundred years. Most disaster experts believe that things could get a lot worse. Professor Hou Ming of Peking University studies volcanoes. He warns that the world has not seen the worst yet. The worst eruption in human history was probably Mt Tambora in 1815, in Indonesia. But evidence shows that 73,000 years ago there was a much greater eruption. “It reduced temperatures by maybe 60C in some places, and the whole planet was sent into winter for years. And there are about two of these events every 100,000 years...” 28. According to the second paragraph, ______.​ A. storms only occurred in Asia and Africa in recent years​ B. reduced rainfall has caused severe droughts since 2017​ C. more hurricanes hit the US and Central America as storms have become worse​ D. volcanic eruptions and earthquakes have become a new threat to humans recently 29. What does the underlined phrase “turn on” mean in the paragraph 3? A. Depend on. ​ B. Care for.​ C. Cooperate with. D. Fight against 30. It can be inferred from the text that ______.​ A. human activities have contributed to the worsening of some disasters B. the number of Atlantic hurricanes has increased by 40% in 30 years​ C. volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are more frequent than before​ D. droughts have affected many African countries since 2017 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future?​ A. Positive​ B. Negative​ C. Indifferent ​ D. Doubtful 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍近年来暴雨、洪水等环境灾害愈发频繁，分析人口过剩、全球变暖等人为与自然成因，指出灾害危险性因城市人口集中而加剧，专家预测未来情况将更糟。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Storms have been getting worse everywhere too, with more hurricanes hitting the US and Central America.(各地的风暴也愈发猛烈了，更多的飓风袭击了美国和中美洲地区)”可知，更多的飓风袭击了美国和中美洲，因为风暴的强度愈发加剧了。故选C。 29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Thunderstorms, floods, earthquakes, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and forest fires have become increasingly common.(雷暴、洪水、地震、台风、火山喷发、海啸以及森林火灾的发生频率越来越高)”以及划线词后文“One answer is overpopulation. The population of the world is growing at the rate of 10,000 people an hour, nearly 90 million a year. Most of the growth is in the developing world. On top of that, there is the added aspect of global warming. This has mainly been caused by the huge amounts of carbon dioxide produced by factories and vehicles. The destruction of the world’s forests plays a part, too. As a result, a hotter ocean causes stronger winds. Atlantic hurricanes are 40% stronger now than they were 30 years ago.(其中一个原因就是人口过剩。全球人口正以每小时10000人、每年近9000万人的速度增长。大部分的增长发生在发展中国家。除此之外，还有全球变暖这一因素。这主要是由工厂和车辆产生的大量二氧化碳所导致的。全球森林的破坏也起到了一定作用。因此，海洋变暖会导致更强的风力。大西洋飓风现在的强度比30年前强了40%)”可知，前文提到各类环境灾害愈发频繁，后文分析灾害加剧的原因，结合语境 “自然开始对我们……”，可推断“turn on”此处表示“对抗、攻击”。故划线词意思是“对抗、攻击”。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One answer is overpopulation. The population of the world is growing at the rate of 10,000 people an hour, nearly 90 million a year. Most of the growth is in the developing world. On top of that, there is the added aspect of global warming. This has mainly been caused by the huge amounts of carbon dioxide produced by factories and vehicles. The destruction of the word’s forests plays a part, too. As a result, a hotter ocean causes stronger winds. Atlantic hurricanes are 40% stronger now than they were 30 years ago.(其中一个原因就是人口过剩。全球人口正以每小时10000人、每年近9000万人的速度增长。大部分的增长发生在发展中国家。除此之外，还有全球变暖这一因素。这主要是由工厂和车辆产生的大量二氧化碳所导致的。全球森林的破坏也起到了一定作用。因此，海洋变暖会导致更强的风力。大西洋飓风现在的强度比30年前强了40%)”可知，人类活动导致了一些灾害的状况愈发恶化。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Most disaster experts believe that things could get a lot worse. Professor Hou Ming of Peking University studies volcanoes. He warns that the world has not seen the worst yet. The worst eruption in human history was probably Mt Tambora in 1815, in Indonesia. But evidence shows that 73,000 years ago there was a much greater eruption. “It reduced temperatures by maybe 60C in some places, and the whole planet was sent into winter for years. And there are about two of these events every 100,000 years...”(大多数灾难专家都认为情况可能会变得更糟。北京大学的侯明教授研究火山。他警告说，目前的世界还未经历最严重的灾难。人类历史上最严重的火山爆发可能是1815年发生在印度尼西亚的坦博拉火山。但有证据表明，73000年前曾发生过一次规模更大的火山爆发。“它使某些地区的气温下降了大约60摄氏度，整个地球因此进入了数年的寒冬。而且这样的事件大约每10万年就会发生两次……”)”可知，作者对未来的态度是消极的。故选B。 D Does Chinese philosophy influence your parenting? It is the question I am most often asked. Chinese philosophy contains many lessons that are useful, accessible and timely when applied to the challenges of parenting. Confucianism and Daoism suggest ways to guide your children toward meaning and fulfillment rather than wealth and fame. Parenting is tough, especially because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Different kids need different things. How do we stay focused on what matters most? How do we navigate difficult times with our kids and support them when they struggle? All of us want our children to be successful, partly because we love them and want them to be happy. But it is easy to mistake “success” with certain kinds of academic or athletic achievements. Of course, one can define success in this way. But ancient Chinese philosophers believed that real success is not measured by fame, money or power. A successful life is one in which a person flourishes: they are happy, fulfilled, and they find meaning in what they do and who they are. This type of fulfillment comes from loving and being loved by others within the context of meaningful, lasting relationships; giving generously of what you have to others; caring for and having a genuine love of nature; and shouldering your responsibility. Most of us know that having an Ivy League degree and a high-paying job is not going to make our children happy and fulfilled in life. Yet we worry about how they will find things they love to do and that they are good at. Philosophers from the two most influential ancient Chinese traditions — Confucianism and Daoism — talk more about human flourishing, virtue, happiness and fulfillment than about “success”. Chinese philosophers argued that we genuinely flourish — are happiest and most fulfilled — when we develop these virtues. This can never be measured in terms such as earning power, entering famous schools or getting jobs. Instead, it is measured in how we treat people — how one loves and is loved by one’s family and friends — and in what one does to make the world a kinder, gentler, more humane and beautiful place. They encourage us to help our children learn more about the world around them. The Confucians and Daoists were a little like yin and yang: Confucians have a lot of active, hands-on ways to help children grow, such as participating in traditions, while the Daoists recommend simpler activities, such as exploring the beauty of nature. Their diverse views on living a good life are precisely what makes Chinese philosophy such a great resource for parents. Parenting is messy. It is not simple or straightforward but complex and difficult. There are no magic solutions that make things easy or smooth. Most of us will need to piece together different approaches in order to find something that works well and feels right in different situations, for different children, and at different times in a child’s life. 32. According to the author, parenting is challenging because________. A. parents don’t know what success refers to B. children don’t believe in Chinese philosophy C. there are many theories of parenting to choose D. one can’t find a standard approach to suit every child 33. What is the opinion of ancient Chinese philosophers? A. People who flourish can feel successful because they live a meaningful life. B. Only when people make contribution to society can they feel successful. C. A successful life can be measured by reputation and wealth. D. Success just means one should be friendly to nature. 34. What can we infer from this passage? A. Daoists are more influential than Confucians because of their simpler activities. B. Confucians and Daoists together can provide parents abundant resources. C. Confucians think entering famous school can make children flourish. D. It is enough for parents to just learn Chinese Philosophy well. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨中国哲学（儒家和道家思想）对育儿的启发，指出育儿无统一标准，真正的成功是个人的富足与有意义的生活，并强调两种思想能为父母提供多元育儿资源。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Parenting is tough, especially because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Different kids need different things.(育儿很难，尤其是因为没有一种万能的方法。不同的孩子需要不同的东西。)”可知，育儿具有挑战性的原因是找不到适用于所有孩子的标准方法。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But ancient Chinese philosophers believed that real success is not measured by fame, money or power. A successful life is one in which a person flourishes: they are happy, fulfilled, and they find meaning in what they do and who they are.(但中国古代哲学家认为，真正的成功不能用名声、金钱或权力来衡量。成功的人生是一个人富足的人生：他们快乐、满足，并在自己所做的事和自身中找到意义。)”可知，中国古代哲学家认为，富足的人会感到成功，因为他们过着有意义的生活。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“The Confucians and Daoists were a little like yin and yang: Confucians have a lot of active, hands-on ways to help children grow, such as participating in traditions, while the Daoists recommend simpler activities, such as exploring the beauty of nature. Their diverse views on living a good life are precisely what makes Chinese philosophy such a great resource for parents.(儒家和道家有点像阴阳：儒家有很多积极、实用的方法来帮助孩子成长，比如参与传统，而道家推荐更简单的活动，比如探索自然之美。他们对美好生活的多元观点，正是中国哲学成为父母宝贵资源的原因。)” 可知，儒家和道家思想各有侧重、相辅相成，二者结合能为父母提供丰富且多元的育儿思路与资源。故选B项。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Looking for a way to connect with nature but you’re not sure how to when you live in the city?

Rucking is walking with weight on your back. The term “rucking” comes from ruck marching, a core skill used by the military around the world. One of the tests the army normally gives to soldiers is a 12-mile ruck, which they must complete within three hours while carrying a weight of at least 35 pounds. The reason why rucking is growing in popularity is that it’s an easy and all-body exercise. One study in 2019 showed that 10 weeks of weighted walking improved physical performance. Since rucking is usually performed outdoors, there is no doubt that it’s also good for your mental health. Lots of studies suggest that the mental health benefits of being in a natural environment are huge. There are several tips for your rucking when you get started. First, don’t be too eager. As with any new exercise, you’ll need to begin slowly. Start with an empty backpack (背包) and walk a distance you’ve already done. When you start adding weight to your pack, try something low, like 10% of your body weight. Adding weight is going to put more stress on your ankles, knees, hips and back, so do it gradually. Another option is to start with a weighted vest (背心) instead of a backpack. This spreads the weight between your front and back. And of course, don’t forget your feet. Select a comfortable pair of shoes to prevent getting hurt. 40. What is rucking?(不多于六个单词) ________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. Why is rucking popular?(不多于六个单词) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Where is rucking usually performed?(不多于一个单词) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What is the last paragraph mainly about?(不多于三个单词) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Walking with weight on your back. 41. It’s an easy and all-body exercise. 42. Outdoors. 43. Tips for rucking. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了徒步这项户外活动的情况以及徒步的建议。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“Rucking is walking with weight on your back.(徒步就是背着重物走路)”可知，徒步就是背着重物走路。故答案为Walking with weight on your back. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“The reason why rucking is growing in popularity is that it’s an easy and all-body exercise.(蹦蹦跳跳越来越受欢迎的原因是它是一种简单的全身运动)”可知，徒步受欢迎因为这是一项简单的全身运动。故答案为It’s an easy and all-body exercise. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Since rucking is usually performed outdoors, there is no doubt that it’s also good for your mental health.(因为徒步通常是在户外进行的，毫无疑问，它对你的心理健康也有好处)”可知，徒步通常在户外。故答案为Outdoors. 【43题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据最后一段“There are several tips for your rucking when you get started. First, don’t be too eager. As with any new exercise, you’ll need to begin slowly. Start with an empty backpack (背包) and walk a distance you’ve already done. When you start adding weight to your pack, try something low, like 10% of your body weight. Adding weight is going to put more stress on your ankles, knees, hips and back, so do it gradually. Another option is to start with a weighted vest(背心) instead of a backpack. This spreads the weight between your front and back. And of course, don’t forget your feet. Select a comfortable pair of shoes to prevent getting hurt.(当你开始徒步时，这里有一些建议。首先，不要太急切。和任何新运动一样，你需要慢慢开始。从一个空背包开始，走一段你已经走过的距离。当你开始增加你的背包重量时，尝试一些低的，比如你体重的10%。增加重量会给你的脚踝、膝盖、臀部和背部带来更大的压力，所以要循序渐进。另一个选择是从加重背心开始，而不是背包。这样可以将重量分散到你的前后。当然，别忘了你的脚。选择一双舒适的鞋子以防止受伤)”可知，最后一段主要讲徒步的技巧。故答案为Tips for rucking. 第二节 选词填空：（共4小题；每小题1分，共4分） 用所给词组完成下列句子。 used to ; have access to; be tired of; get on 44 The thing about being a teacher is that you _______________ children’s minds when they are open and eager to learn. 45.

Over the years, it had grown into two shops with 11 workers, but Allamby had become uneasy, longing for something more. Therefore, at the age of 34, he decided to go for his bachelor’s degree in business management. After taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take biology to get his degree, which later turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. Biology classes reawakened a childhood dream that he had hidden somewhere deep within himself. Born in East Cleveland, Ohio, Allamby was raised by his stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed (医学预科的) path. Even if it had, doing well in school could prove dangerous. “You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd (讨厌的人),” Allamby said. So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead. But a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class at age 39. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his family he soon decided to skip business school to take science classes. Becoming a doctor was late and he would become a nurse instead, he reasoned. But Allamby’s chemistry professor told him “Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work. You will go a long way.” The professor was right and Allamby did very well. In 2015, Allamby cut ties with his past, and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby, MD. He took a job in emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General. “How many people can do something so brand-new at such a late stage in their life?” he said. “My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 24. Why was taking biology “the best thing that ever happened” to Allamby? A. It ensured him a bachelor’s degree. B. It developed his potential to become a doctor. C. It brought about positive transition in his life. D. It satisfied his childhood curiosity about doctors. 25. What is the author’s purpose in writing Para. 3? A. To describe Allamby’s difficulty in school. B. To introduce Allamby’s family background. C. To explain why Allamby once gave up his dream. D. To show how Allamby struggled in his childhood. 26. What do we know from the chemistry professor’s words? A. He appreciated Allamby’s courage. B. He recognized Allamby’s capability. C. He suggested Allamby should aim lower. D. He thought Allamby was too old to be a doctor. 27. What does Allamby’s story mainly tell us? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Education holds the key to success. C. A tough man can bear great suffering. D. It’s never too late to pursue your dream. C In the last few years, we have seen environmental disasters on a grand scale, and experts are predicting worse to come. Jin Li reports on our Earth’s Changeable weather patterns. Thunderstorms, floods, earthquakes, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and forest fires have become increasingly common. There have been terrible floods in Asia, Africa, America and Oceania. Storms have been getting worse everywhere too, with more hurricanes hitting the US and Central America. Reduced rainfall has affected Africa for years, with severe droughts in Somalia and Kenya in 2017, as well as many other zones becoming drier. Reduced rainfall in Canada resulted in a huge forest fire in 2016. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes have always been a threat. In 2016, there were three volcanic eruptions at almost the same time in Indonesia. There have been serious earthquakes in many parts of Asia, Europe and South America. A massive earthquake hit central Italy in August 2016, killing at least 247 people. So Why is nature beginning to turn on us? One answer is overpopulation. The population of the world is growing at the rate of 10,000 people an hour, nearly 90 million a year. Most of the growth is in the developing world. On top of that, there is the added aspect of global warming. This has mainly been caused by the huge amounts of carbon dioxide produced by factories and vehicles. The destruction of the world’s forests plays a part, too. As a result, a hotter ocean causes stronger winds. Atlantic hurricanes are 40% stronger now than they were 30 years ago. Landslides and earthquakes are even more dangerous now than in the past because around half of the world’s population now live in cities. Many people in cities and towns in South America and Asia are at risk from landslides. In April 2017, the city of Mocoa in Colombia was hit by a landslide, leaving many dead and injured. A great number of people live at risk from earthquakes too. These have claimed more than 1.6 million lives in the last hundred years. Most disaster experts believe that things could get a lot worse. Professor Hou Ming of Peking University studies volcanoes. He warns that the world has not seen the worst yet. The worst eruption in human history was probably Mt Tambora in 1815, in Indonesia. But evidence shows that 73,000 years ago there was a much greater eruption. “It reduced temperatures by maybe 60C in some places, and the whole planet was sent into winter for years. And there are about two of these events every 100,000 years...” 28. According to the second paragraph, ______.​ A. storms only occurred in Asia and Africa in recent years​ B reduced rainfall has caused severe droughts since 2017​ C. more hurricanes hit the US and Central America as storms have become worse​ D. volcanic eruptions and earthquakes have become a new threat to humans recently 29. What does the underlined phrase “turn on” mean in the paragraph 3? A. Depend on. ​ B. Care for.​ C. Cooperate with. D. Fight against 30. It can be inferred from the text that ______.​ A. human activities have contributed to the worsening of some disasters B. the number of Atlantic hurricanes has increased by 40% in 30 years​ C. volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are more frequent than before​ D. droughts have affected many African countries since 2017 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future?​ A. Positive​ B. Negative​ C. Indifferent ​ D. Doubtful D Does Chinese philosophy influence your parenting? It is the question I am most often asked. Chinese philosophy contains many lessons that are useful, accessible and timely when applied to the challenges of parenting. Confucianism and Daoism suggest ways to guide your children toward meaning and fulfillment rather than wealth and fame. Parenting is tough, especially because there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Different kids need different things. How do we stay focused on what matters most? How do we navigate difficult times with our kids and support them when they struggle? All of us want our children to be successful, partly because we love them and want them to be happy. But it is easy to mistake “success” with certain kinds of academic or athletic achievements. Of course, one can define success in this way. But ancient Chinese philosophers believed that real success is not measured by fame, money or power. A successful life is one in which a person flourishes: they are happy, fulfilled, and they find meaning in what they do and who they are. This type of fulfillment comes from loving and being loved by others within the context of meaningful, lasting relationships; giving generously of what you have to others; caring for and having a genuine love of nature; and shouldering your responsibility. Most of us know that having an Ivy League degree and a high-paying job is not going to make our children happy and fulfilled in life. Yet we worry about how they will find things they love to do and that they are good at. Philosophers from the two most influential ancient Chinese traditions — Confucianism and Daoism — talk more about human flourishing, virtue, happiness and fulfillment than about “success”. Chinese philosophers argued that we genuinely flourish — are happiest and most fulfilled — when we develop these virtues. This can never be measured in terms such as earning power, entering famous schools or getting jobs. Instead, it is measured in how we treat people — how one loves and is loved by one’s family and friends — and in what one does to make the world a kinder, gentler, more humane and beautiful place. They encourage us to help our children learn more about the world around them. The Confucians and Daoists were a little like yin and yang: Confucians have a lot of active, hands-on ways to help children grow, such as participating in traditions, while the Daoists recommend simpler activities, such as exploring the beauty of nature. Their diverse views on living a good life are precisely what makes Chinese philosophy such a great resource for parents. Parenting is messy. It is not simple or straightforward but complex and difficult. There are no magic solutions that make things easy or smooth. Most of us will need to piece together different approaches in order to find something that works well and feels right in different situations, for different children, and at different times in a child’s life. 32.

What can we infer from this passage? A. Daoists are more influential than Confucians because of their simpler activities. B. Confucians and Daoists together can provide parents abundant resources. C. Confucians think entering famous school can make children flourish. D. It is enough for parents to just learn Chinese Philosophy well. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Looking for a way to connect with nature but you’re not sure how to when you live in the city?

Rucking is walking with weight on your back. The term “rucking” comes from ruck marching, a core skill used by the military around the world. One of the tests the army normally gives to soldiers is a 12-mile ruck, which they must complete within three hours while carrying a weight of at least 35 pounds. The reason why rucking is growing in popularity is that it’s an easy and all-body exercise. One study in 2019 showed that 10 weeks of weighted walking improved physical performance. Since rucking is usually performed outdoors, there is no doubt that it’s also good for your mental health. Lots of studies suggest that the mental health benefits of being in a natural environment are huge. There are several tips for your rucking when you get started. First, don’t be too eager. As with any new exercise, you’ll need to begin slowly. Start with an empty backpack (背包) and walk a distance you’ve already done. When you start adding weight to your pack, try something low, like 10% of your body weight. Adding weight is going to put more stress on your ankles, knees, hips and back, so do it gradually. Another option is to start with a weighted vest (背心) instead of a backpack. This spreads the weight between your front and back. And of course, don’t forget your feet. Select a comfortable pair of shoes to prevent getting hurt. 40. What is rucking?(不多于六个单词) ________________________________________________________________________________________ 41.
