As I got older, my teachers and parents wanted me to get serious about playing. So, in high school, I took music classes and played in some concerts to make them pleased. I traveled to other cities to play. The concerts and the traveling were hard on me. I was worried about making my parents proud and being the best I could be. When I left high school and went to college, I stopped playing as much. At some point, I decided not to play the piano anymore. But I never forgot the music. Now I just play for fun. I don’t practice every day, and I don’t have to become the best player anymore. But that’s okay with me. 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Beautiful Places to Visit Humans have a special love for nature and have always been trying to discover nature.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了几个世界上值得游览的美丽地方，包括加利福尼亚的玻璃海滩、新西兰的萤火虫洞、越南的下龙湾以及美国夏威夷的威斯汀毛伊岛度假村。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Glass Beach 部分的“All the glasses are not allowed to remove and there is a law not to remove any of the things and even the glass from its place.(所有的玻璃都不允许被移走，并且有法律规定不允许从原地移走任何东西，甚至是玻璃)”可知，制定法律是为了防止人们移走东西，故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Glow (发光) Worm Cave 部分的“As the name suggests, it is famous due to glow worms, and it is the only one of its type in the world located in New Zealand.(顾名思义，它因萤火虫而闻名，它是世界上唯一位于新西兰的此类洞穴)”可知，在萤火虫洞可以看到萤火虫，故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Ha Long Bay 部分的“It is a worth-seeing place of the world(它是世界上一个值得一看的地方)”以及 Weston Maui Resort 部分的“Another very beautiful place to visit in life time(一生中另一个非常值得游览的美丽地方)”可知，下龙湾和威斯汀毛伊岛度假村的共同之处在于它们都是美丽的游览胜地，故选C项。 B In 2014, Mahoney was asked to choose a person who regularly gave back to the Halifax community (社区) to-perform an act of kindness as part of a Facebook challenge. Mahoney chose a 79-year-old senior named Eleanor, who not only gave goods for the people at the pub where Mahoney worked but also volunteered at the local homeless shelter. Mahoney wanted to get to know Eleanor better, so she asked that they spent a day together—picking up fruits, getting their nails done, that kind of thing. “It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her,” says the 30-year-old. “That focus made her shine.” Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking. How many other seniors might benefit from that kind of attention? And had some of those seniors delayed their dreams because they’d been busy caring for others? Chisholm, now 31, was equally interested in these questions, and together the pair set up their new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short. WAY has since delivered on 38 dreams and counting—from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberry-picking place to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game. These dreams are to work out problems caused by the health and loneliness of seniors. 78-year-old Victor wanted to go to the beach—a dream he’d given up when it became too physically difficult to reach the sea. The team at WAY offered a boat for him and his son in the fall of 2021 so they could reach the sea and spend the day enjoying themselves on the beach. “If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion (激情) can give you, your self-confidence goes down,” says Mahoney. “Now, Victor has got some of his self-confidence again—and his sense of humour. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others.” “We want to create a movement that changes our whole society’s opinion and support for seniors,” says Mahoney. “That is the influence we’re trying to create.” 24. How did Eleanor feel after spending a day with Mahoney? A. She was in shock. B. She was nervous. C. She was confused. D. She was in high spirits. 25. Why did Mahoney and Chisholm set up WAY? A. To help seniors get better care. B. To make themselves become younger. C. To help seniors realize their delayed dreams. D. To realize the delayed dreams of their childhood. 26. What might Victor think of WAY after the trip? A. It was a home for him. B. It would be well received. C It’s much better than before. D. It might be owned by his son. 27. What can we know from Mahoney’s words? A. Seniors need more care. B. Self-confidence changes a person. C. Seniors have a passion for their life. D. The young will create a good influence. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述的是很多老年人在忙着帮助他人却失去了实现自己梦想的机会，Mahoney和Chisholm创立了一个新的慈善组织，帮助这些老年人实现自己未实现的梦想。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的““It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her,” says the 30-year-old. “That focus made her shine.”(“这是多年来第一次有人为她做一天，”这位30岁的年轻人说。“这种专注让她大放异彩。”)”可知，在与Mahoney 待在一起完成一系列的事情后，Eleanor很是开心，这是第一次有人给她带来快乐，这让她大放异彩，所以这一天后Eleanor精神状态很好。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking. How many other seniors might benefit from that kind of attention? And had some of those seniors delayed their dreams because they’d been busy caring for others?(他们共同的经历让马奥尼思考。有多少其他老年人可能会从这种关注中受益？这些老年人中的一些人是否因为忙于照顾他人而推迟了他们的梦想？)”可知，有些老人忙着照顾他人而推迟自己的梦想，所以，他们成立了新的慈善组织WAY，所以他们建立这一组织是为了帮助老人实现延迟的梦想。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“WAY has since delivered on 38 dreams and counting—from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberry-picking place to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game. These dreams are to work out problems caused by the health and loneliness of seniors.(从那以后，WAY 实现了 38 个梦想，并且还在不断增加——从童年蓝莓采摘地的直升机之旅到前往多伦多观看蓝鸟队的比赛。这些梦想是为了解决老年人健康和孤独造成的问题。)”可知，WAY帮助很多老人实现了梦想，解决了他们因为健康和孤独而产生的问题，由此可以判断，这一慈善组织深受处于这种困境老人的欢迎。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的““We want to create a movement that changes our whole society’s opinion and support for seniors,” says Mahoney. “That is the influence we’re trying to create.”(“我们希望发起一场运动，改变我们整个社会对老年人的看法和支持，”马奥尼说。“这就是我们试图创造的影响力。”)”可知，Mahoney想要发起一项运动，这是年轻人试图创造的影响力，让更多的人了解和帮助老年人，让他们重拾生活的目标和激情。故选D项。 C Sleeping in a noisy room isn’t only distracting (使人分心的) , but it can also harm your health. Although researchers have known for decades that long-term loud noises can harm us, it’s only recently become recognized as a widespread problem. In a new review of previously published studies, researchers from Germany and Denmark took a look at the ways in which noises, such as an airplane passing by or a jackhammer digging in the ground, can affect our hearts. Perhaps the most obvious impact of a loud sound while you are sleeping is that it can wake you up. But, even if you don’t remember hearing the noise or you don’t physically get out of bed, it can disrupt you in ways you may not realize. “Noise is not just causing annoyance, but it actually makes us sick,” said Dr. Thomas Münzel, a professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz from the research. “Regardless of where the sound is coming from, if it gets louder than 60 decibels (分贝), it can increase the risk of heart disease.” When our body hears these noises, it reacts with a stress reaction. In this case, these sudden and unexpected noises cause hormones to speed up and eventually damage the heart. Although the chance that a single noise will affect you is unlikely, it’s the continuous exposure to the sound that can finally affect you. “But our heart health isn’t the only cause for concern. Long-term noise may also raise the risk of type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), depression, and anxiety disorders,” he warns. In the future, Münzel plans to examine how noises from cars, planes, and other vehicles affect the brain. Despite the amount or the depth of research he conducts, it’ll take the help of politicians to improve the effect of noises on our health. “Politicians have to take into account, in particular, the new findings,” Münzel said, “As for aircraft noise and airports, it is important to make new laws and set new lower noise limits that protect people living close by the airport instead of the owners of the airport.” 28. What do researchers from Germany and Denmark find? A. Noise does little harm to people who are asleep. B. Noise louder than 60 decibels may cause heart disease. C. Noise has been a widespread concern for a long time. D. Noise can cause people’s memory to get worse sharply. 29. Which word can replace the underlined word “disrupt” in Paragraph 2? A. Defeat. B. Attract. C. Harm. D. Discourage. 30. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Attention should be paid to heart health and other diseases. B. Münzel will continue other studies on brain diseases. C. Benefits of airport owners are more important than health. D. Politicians should take action to handle noise pollution. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Who Is to Blame for Noise Pollution B. How Noise Pollution Harms Our Body C. How Münzel Carried Out His Research D. What Should Be Done to Stop Noise 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了德国和丹麦研究人员对噪音污染与健康关系的研究发现，指出60分贝以上的噪音会增加心脏病风险，并可能导致糖尿病、抑郁和焦虑等问题，呼吁政客们采取行动解决噪音污染。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Regardless of where the sound is coming from, if it gets louder than 60 decibels (分贝), it can increase the risk of heart disease. (无论声音来自哪里，如果超过60分贝，都会增加患心脏病的风险。)”可知，德国和丹麦的研究人员发现噪音超过60分贝可能会引起心脏病。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“But, even if you don’t remember hearing the noise or you don’t physically get out of bed, it can disrupt you in ways you may not realize. (但是，即使你不记得听到了噪音，或者你没有从床上起来，它也会以你可能没有意识到的方式disrupt你。)”可知，噪音即使没有让你醒来，也会以某种你未察觉的方式影响你，因此，“disrupt”在此意为“伤害，损害”，与“Harm (伤害)”意思相近。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Despite the amount or the depth of research he conducts, it’ll take the help of politicians to improve the effect of noises on our health. (无论他进行的研究数量多少、深度如何，都需要政客们的帮助来改善噪音对我们健康的影响。)”以及最后一段““Politicians have to take into account, in particular, the new findings,” Münzel said, “As for aircraft noise and airports, it is important to make new laws and set new lower noise limits that protect people living close by the airport instead of the owners of the airport.” (“政客们尤其必须考虑到这些新发现，”Münzel说，“至于飞机噪音和机场，重要的是制定新的法律，并设定新的更低的噪音限值，以保护住在机场附近的人们，而不是机场的所有者。”)”可推知，政客们应该采取行动来处理噪音污染。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Sleeping in a noisy room isn’t only distracting (使人分心的) , but it can also harm your health. (在嘈杂的房间里睡觉不仅会让人分心，还会损害你的健康。)”可知，文章主要介绍了噪音污染如何损害我们的身体。故选B项。 D When Amelia Hammersley was in sixth grade, her younger sister went to the hospital with a concussion (脑震荡) from a fall. People with concussion often take pain medicines to ease headaches. But heavy use of NSAIDs, a common type of pain killer, can come with serious side effects (副作用), especially if taken for a long time. Now 16, Amelia has discovered that a plant medicine called celastrol might help reduce (减少) the need for NSAIDs. Celastrol comes from a plant used in China for hundreds of years to treat health problems. Amelia’s research suggests that celastrol might allow patients to take less NSAIDs. “My sister led me to the research,” noted the teen, who is a student at Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park, Ill. She showed her findings at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. Amelia found that celastrol could help the brain get well again and reduce inflammation (炎症) by blocking a specific brain pathway. She tested this using fruit flies, which have a similar inflammation pathway as humans. Amelia bought over 120 fruit flies and tested their climbing ability in clear tubes. After giving each fly a concussion by dropping them from a spring-loaded tube she tested their climbing speed again. Most flies took more than two minutes to climb, and some didn’t try at all. She then fed the flies different treatments: one group received food with NSAIDs, another with celastrol, a third with both, and a fourth group got only food. After 24 hours, she tested their climbing ability again. The flies treated with both or just celastrol did better than those with NSAIDs alone or no treatment. Amelia hopes to continue working on this project in the future. She believes celastrol, being low-cost and widely used, could make medicine more accessible in places where health care is costly or hard to get. 32. What makes Amelia carry out the research? A. A road accident. B. Her painful illness. C. A Chinese story. D. Her sister’s condition. 33. Why were the fruit flies grouped? A. To shorten the testing time. B. To compare the test results. C. To catch people’s attention. D. To complete the climb early. 34. What does Amelia expect of the plant medicine? A. It’ll improve her health. B. It’ll kill the fruit flies. C. It’ll help people in need. D. It’ll change her dream. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Widely Respected Doctor in America B. Amelia’s Upcoming Plan to Study Medicine C. The Future of Traditional Chinese Medicine D. Celastrol’s Promise in Concussion Treatment 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，文章主要讨论了Amelia如何发现并研究celatrol这种植物药物，以及它在治疗脑震荡方面的潜力。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When Amelia Hammersley was in sixth grade, her younger sister went to the hospital with a concussion (脑震荡) from a fall. People with concussion often take pain medicines to ease headaches. But heavy use of NSAIDs, a common type of pain killer, can come with serious side effects (副作用), especially if taken for a long time.(当Amelia Hammersley六年级的时候，她的妹妹因摔倒导致脑震荡而进了医院。患脑震荡的人通常吃止痛药来减轻头痛。但是大量使用NSAIDs，一种常见的止痛药，会带来极其严重的副作用。)”和第二段““My sister led me to the research,” noted the teen(这位青少年说道：“是我的妹妹的情况让我做的这个研究。”)”可知，Amelia的妹妹因为跌倒而住院治疗脑震荡。而大量使用止痛药会带来严重的副作用，因此是她的妹妹的情况促使她进行这项研究。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段“She then fed the flies different treatments: one group received food with NSAIDs, another with celastrol, a third with both, and a fourth group got only food. After 24 hours, she tested their climbing ability again. The flies treated with both or just celastrol did better than those with NSAIDs alone or no treatment.(然后，她用不同的治疗方法喂养这些果蝇：一组接受含有NSAIDs的食物，另一组接受含有celatrol的食物，第三组两者都有，第四组只给食物。24小时后，她再次测试了它们的攀爬能力。)”可知，果蝇被分组是为了比较不同治疗方法的效果。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Amelia hopes to continue working on this project in the future. She believes celastrol, being low-cost and widely used, could make medicine more accessible in places where health care is costly or hard to get.(Amelia希望在未来继续研究这个项目。她相信，由于celatrol成本低且使用广泛，它可能使药物在医疗保健成本高昂或难以获得的地方更容易获得。)”可知，她期望这种植物药物能帮助那些需要的人。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Now 16, Amelia has discovered that a plant medicine called celastrol might help reduce (减少) the need for NSAIDs.(现在16岁的Amelia发现一种叫作celastrol的植物药物，可能有助于减少对NSAIDs——一种常见的止痛药——的需求。)”以及全文的介绍可知，文章主要讨论了Amelia如何发现并研究celatrol这种植物药物，以及它在治疗脑震荡方面的潜力，故D项“celastrol在脑震荡治疗中的前景”符合本文标题，故选D。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Host a Book Swap If you love the written word, you probably have a pile of books somewhere in your home. ____36____If you’re becoming alarmed at the price of new books, hold a book swap.

If you’ve never held a book swap before, here are a few tips.(如果你对新书的价格感到担忧，那就进行一次图书交换。这个想法很简单，客人带着书来分享，然后积累的书被重新分配给新的主人。如果你以前从未举办过换书活动，这里有一些建议)”可知，上文提到了书很多，后文则提到新书价格很贵，推测本句内容应与上文构成转折，指出对新书感兴趣。故E选项“但是总有一本你感兴趣的新书”符合语境，故选E。 【37题详解】 根据后文“Three books is pretty standard. If you want extras around, don’t set a maximum.(三本书是一个好标准。如果你想要额外的，不要设定上限)”可知，后文提到了三本书的标准，以及书籍的上限问题，可知本句是在说明带书的数量该如何安排。故G选项“限制客人带的书的数量也是个好主意”符合语境，故选G。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Some people use one large dining table and start piling up books when they run out of space.(有些人使用一张大餐桌，当空间不够时就开始把书堆起来)”以及后文“They can offer people a chance to consider their selections without having to juggle piles of books while they’re doing it.(它们可以让人们有机会考虑自己的选择，而不必在选择时翻阅成堆的书)”可知，本句主要针对上文空间不够的问题，提出解决方案。F选项中a couple of tables对应后文They。故F选项“事实上，几张桌子就能解决问题了”符合语境，故选F。 【39题详解】 根据本段内容“To make sure guests can find what interests them, the easiest way to do this is to mart sections on the table for specific types of books. When people arrive, hand out a brief set of instructions, asking them to place their books in the right category.(为了确保客人能找到他们感兴趣的书，最简单的方法是在桌子上为特定类型的书划分区域。当人们到达时，分发一套简短的说明，要求他们把书放在正确的类别)”可知，本段的主旨是为人们划分书籍的类型，来确保客人能找到他们感兴趣的书，故A选项“按类型整理书籍”符合语境，故选A。 【40题详解】 根据上文“When you’re in the planning stages, think party and you’ll be one step ahead of the game.(当你在计划阶段时，想想派对，你就会领先一步)”以及后文“Create some good interactions with a little background music. Have an area set aside for coats and bags. Remember, you are hosting a party!(用一点背景音乐创造一些好的互动。留出一块地方放外套和包。记住，你正在举办一个聚会)”可知，本段主要建议通过举办派对的形式来举办换书活动，后文提到了音乐和放衣服的地方，结合常识，派对上还需要食物。故C选项“提供一两口就能吃完的食物”符合语境，故选C。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Marco was a boy, he tried everything to get his father’s love and attention.

But humans aren’t the only creatures on the Earth to vote. In fact, there are ___56___ (variety) animals which also make a group decision. They just do ___57___ for different reasons in different ways. Instead of voting for a president, animals vote on where to live or when to hunt. Take meerkats (猫鼬) for an example. When ___58___ (search) for food, the animals get together for protection from hunters. But when a meerkat wants to speed up the search, the animal will make a “move call”. If three or more meerkats make this call, an agreement to speed up can ___59___ (reach). African wild dogs also vote in groups. A group of scientists ___60___ study the behavior of animals have found that the animals also vote to decide whether to hunt. How do the dogs vote for hunting? They sneeze (打喷嚏)! Whether the dogs will actually go for a hunt is decided by ___61___ number of sneezes. The more the dogs sneeze, the more likely they will look for a meal. Just like humans, animals don’t always agree ___62___ one another. But joining in group decisions ___63___ (be) good for their ___64___ (survive). It is extremely interesting for us ___65___ (observe) how animals vote for a decision and stick together. 【答案】56. various 57. it 58. searching 59. be reached 60. who##that 61. the 62. with 63. is 64. survival 65. to observe 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类并不是地球上唯一用投票的方式来做决策的生物，很多动物也会通过投票的方式做出集体决策。 【56题详解】 考查形容词。句意：事实上，很多动物也会做出集体决策。，此处应填形容词various，作定语修饰名词animals。故填various。 【57题详解】 考查代词。句意：他们只是因为不同的原因而采取不同的方式来做出集体决策。空格处应填代词it搭配do代指上文提到的make a group decision这一动作。故填it。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：当寻找食物时，动物们会聚集在一起以保护自己不受猎人的伤害。空处需填非谓语动词与前面的连词when一起构成状语从句的省略，又因search和逻辑主语the animals为主谓关系，需填现在分词形式。故填searching。 【59题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：如果有三只或更多的猫鼬发出这种信号时，就可以达成加速的共识。主语agreement与reach之间为动宾关系，用被动语态；空处前面有情态动词can。故填be reached。 【60题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：一组研究动物行为的科学家发现，动物也会投票决定是否捕猎。空处引导定语从句，先行词scientists表示人，关系词在从句中作主语，需用关系代词who或that引导。故填who或that。 【61题详解】 考查冠词。句意：狗是否真的会去打猎取决于打喷嚏的数量。空格处填the与其后的number of构成固定短语，the number of表示“……的数量”。故填the。 【62题详解】 考查介词。句意：就像人类一样，动物不总是会同意其他动物。短语agree with sb.意为“同意某人（的看法、说法）”。故填with。 【63题详解】 考查主谓一致。句意：但参与集体决策有利于他们的生存。空处需要谓语动词，该句主语为动名词短语joining in group decisions，视为单数，时态参考全文的一般现在时，be动词应用is。故填is。 【64题详解】 考查名词。句意：但参与集体决策有利于它们的生存。空格处作for的宾语，又因空格前有形容词性物主代词their修饰，所以填名词形式；survive 的名词形式survival，为抽象名词没有单复数。故填survival。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：对于我们来说，观察动物如何投票决定并团结在一起是一件非常有趣的事情。It为形式主语，空处需填非谓语动词形式做真正的主语，符合句型it is+adj. for sb. to do sth.即后面要用不定式。故填to observe。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华。你美国的朋友Kim给你来信告诉你他对中国的传统节日非常感兴趣，请你给他推荐一个中国的传统节日。内容包括： 1.推荐的节日的名称； 2.该节日的时间，来由； 3.该节日的主要活动。 …… 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Kim, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Kim, I’m glad to hear that you’re interested in Chinese traditional festivals.

She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the clock on the table. It was already nine o’clock! Although Jane was still very sleepy, she knew she had to get up because her mother was working in her office and she couldn’t expect her younger brother Tom, who was sleeping like a pig, to answer the Phone. She quickly put on a coat and ran to the living room. When she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warm greeting, “Good morning!” It was from her father, who was a seaman and rarely came back. Suddenly, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared. Born in a not-so-rich family, Jane and Tom felt the stress of life, but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere. At school, they were straight-A students and took part in various after-school activities. They were the pride of the family. “Good morning, Dad. Why do you call us so early on the weekend?” Jane said and pretended to be annoyed. “Tom and I have been very nice recently.” “My dear, today is your mother’s birthday, and I have ordered a cake online and it will be sent to our home late in the afternoon. Do remember to take the cake. It is my surprise for your mother.” Hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a little ashamed. How could she forget her mother’s birthday?! While she was chatting with her father, Jane looked around the room and saw a lot of dirty clothes on the sofa. The floor hadn’t been cleaned for a few days since her mother had to work all this week. She looked at the clock again and was sure that she still had enough time to prepare a surprise for her mother. “Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Tom up. We will give Mum a surprise, too!” Jane said and hung up the telephone. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jane hurried to Tom’s room and shared her plan with him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Jane hurried to Tom’s room and shared her plan with him. Having learned about the details, Tom volunteered to clean the floor. It took him more than two hours to clean every corner in the house. For the first time, Tom realized how hard it had been for his mother and sister to keep the house clean. While Tom was working, Jane washed the dirty clothes and decorated the room with colorful balloons. When the cake arrived, everything was ready for the big moment. “Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door. Seeing the beautifully decorated room and the big cake on the table, their mother seemed to be very confused and surprised. After Tom and Jane told her what had happened, she could hardly hide her excitement and hugged them tightly. “It is the best birthday gift I have ever had!” said their mother, who then took out her smartphone and made a video. “We should share this surprise with your father!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了出生在一个并不富裕的家庭，简和汤姆感到生活的压力，但他们很高兴享受家庭氛围。在学校，他们是全优生，参加各种课外活动。他们是这个家庭的骄傲。这天父亲打来电话告知当天是母亲的生日，于是简和汤姆打扫了房子的卫生，给妈妈庆祝了生日。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“简急忙跑到汤姆的房间，把她的计划告诉了他”可知，第一段可描写简和汤姆开始打扫卫生，装饰房间。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘生日快乐，妈妈！’妈妈开门时，简和汤姆大叫起来”可知，第二段可描写他们给妈妈庆祝生日的经过以及妈妈的反应。 2.续写线索：告知计划——汤姆打扫卫生——简洗衣服——蛋糕送到——妈妈回家——庆祝生日——妈妈感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware ②打扫：clean/ sweep ③准备好：be ready for/be well-prepared for 情绪类 ①激动：excitement/thrill ②惊讶：surprised /amazed 【点睛】[高分句型1] When the cake arrived, everything was ready for the big moment.

In this try, they have discovered many wonderful places across the world. Following are the places every man wants to see in their life. Glass Beach A very charming (迷人的) place in the world that should be seen once in life time is the Glass Beach in California. There are a large number of glass pieces that gathered after years of throwing garbage into the sea. All the glasses are not allowed to remove and there is a law not to remove any of the things and even the glass from its place. Glow (发光) Worm Cave It is also a very beautiful and worth-visiting place in the world. As the name suggests, it is famous due to glow worms, and it is the only one of its type in the world located in New Zealand. There is a visitor center in the cave to see its beauty. Ha Long Bay It is a worth-seeing place of the world and is located in Vietnam. The color of its water is emerald (翡翠绿) and large stones are standing at different places that make it look beautiful. There are also many boats for taking the visitors to far off places. This region is also famous for mountain hiking. Weston Maui Resort Another very beautiful place to visit in life time is the Weston Maui Resort in the American State of Hawaii. It is a very charming place to spend holidays. All the rooms in this resort have very wonderful sights that impress the visitors a lot. 21. Why do people introduce a law at Glass Beach? A. To reduce pollution. B. To attract more visitors. C.

B In 2014, Mahoney was asked to choose a person who regularly gave back to the Halifax community (社区) to-perform an act of kindness as part of a Facebook challenge. Mahoney chose a 79-year-old senior named Eleanor, who not only gave goods for the people at the pub where Mahoney worked but also volunteered at the local homeless shelter. Mahoney wanted to get to know Eleanor better, so she asked that they spent a day together—picking up fruits, getting their nails done, that kind of thing. “It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her,” says the 30-year-old. “That focus made her shine.” Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking. How many other seniors might benefit from that kind of attention? And had some of those seniors delayed their dreams because they’d been busy caring for others? Chisholm, now 31, was equally interested in these questions, and together the pair set up their new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short. WAY has since delivered on 38 dreams and counting—from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberry-picking place to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game. These dreams are to work out problems caused by the health and loneliness of seniors. 78-year-old Victor wanted to go to the beach—a dream he’d given up when it became too physically difficult to reach the sea. The team at WAY offered a boat for him and his son in the fall of 2021 so they could reach the sea and spend the day enjoying themselves on the beach. “If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion (激情) can give you, your self-confidence goes down,” says Mahoney. “Now, Victor has got some of his self-confidence again—and his sense of humour.

C Sleeping in a noisy room isn’t only distracting (使人分心的) , but it can also harm your health. Although researchers have known for decades that long-term loud noises can harm us, it’s only recently become recognized as a widespread problem. In a new review of previously published studies, researchers from Germany and Denmark took a look at the ways in which noises, such as an airplane passing by or a jackhammer digging in the ground, can affect our hearts. Perhaps the most obvious impact of a loud sound while you are sleeping is that it can wake you up. But, even if you don’t remember hearing the noise or you don’t physically get out of bed, it can disrupt you in ways you may not realize. “Noise is not just causing annoyance, but it actually makes us sick,” said Dr. Thomas Münzel, a professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz from the research. “Regardless of where the sound is coming from, if it gets louder than 60 decibels (分贝), it can increase the risk of heart disease.” When our body hears these noises, it reacts with a stress reaction. In this case, these sudden and unexpected noises cause hormones to speed up and eventually damage the heart. Although the chance that a single noise will affect you is unlikely, it’s the continuous exposure to the sound that can finally affect you. “But our heart health isn’t the only cause for concern. Long-term noise may also raise the risk of type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), depression, and anxiety disorders,” he warns. In the future, Münzel plans to examine how noises from cars, planes, and other vehicles affect the brain. Despite the amount or the depth of research he conducts, it’ll take the help of politicians to improve the effect of noises on our health. “Politicians have to take into account, in particular, the new findings,” Münzel said, “As for aircraft noise and airports, it is important to make new laws and set new lower noise limits that protect people living close by the airport instead of the owners of the airport.” 28. What do researchers from Germany and Denmark find? A. Noise does little harm to people who are asleep. B. Noise louder than 60 decibels may cause heart disease. C. Noise has been a widespread concern for a long time. D. Noise can cause people’s memory to get worse sharply. 29. Which word can replace the underlined word “disrupt” in Paragraph 2? A. Defeat. B. Attract. C. Harm. D. Discourage. 30. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Attention should be paid to heart health and other diseases. B. Münzel will continue other studies on brain diseases. C. Benefits of airport owners are more important than health. D. Politicians should take action to handle noise pollution. 31 What is the main idea of the passage? A. Who Is to Blame for Noise Pollution B. How Noise Pollution Harms Our Body C. How Münzel Carried Out His Research D. What Should Be Done to Stop Noise D When Amelia Hammersley was in sixth grade, her younger sister went to the hospital with a concussion (脑震荡) from a fall. People with concussion often take pain medicines to ease headaches. But heavy use of NSAIDs, a common type of pain killer, can come with serious side effects (副作用), especially if taken for a long time. Now 16, Amelia has discovered that a plant medicine called celastrol might help reduce (减少) the need for NSAIDs. Celastrol comes from a plant used in China for hundreds of years to treat health problems. Amelia’s research suggests that celastrol might allow patients to take less NSAIDs. “My sister led me to the research,” noted the teen, who is a student at Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park, Ill. She showed her findings at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. Amelia found that celastrol could help the brain get well again and reduce inflammation (炎症) by blocking a specific brain pathway. She tested this using fruit flies, which have a similar inflammation pathway as humans. Amelia bought over 120 fruit flies and tested their climbing ability in clear tubes. After giving each fly a concussion by dropping them from a spring-loaded tube, she tested their climbing speed again. Most flies took more than two minutes to climb, and some didn’t try at all. She then fed the flies different treatments: one group received food with NSAIDs, another with celastrol, a third with both, and a fourth group got only food. After 24 hours, she tested their climbing ability again. The flies treated with both or just celastrol did better than those with NSAIDs alone or no treatment. Amelia hopes to continue working on this project in the future. She believes celastrol, being low-cost and widely used, could make medicine more accessible in places where health care is costly or hard to get. 32. What makes Amelia carry out the research? A A road accident. B. Her painful illness. C A Chinese story. D. Her sister’s condition. 33. Why were the fruit flies grouped? A. To shorten the testing time. B. To compare the test results. C. To catch people’s attention. D. To complete the climb early. 34. What does Amelia expect of the plant medicine? A. It’ll improve her health. B. It’ll kill the fruit flies. C. It’ll help people in need. D. It’ll change her dream. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Widely Respected Doctor in America B. Amelia’s Upcoming Plan to Study Medicine C. The Future of Traditional Chinese Medicine D. Celastrol’s Promise in Concussion Treatment 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Host a Book Swap If you love the written word, you probably have a pile of books somewhere in your home. ____36____If you’re becoming alarmed at the price of new books, hold a book swap.

She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the clock on the table. It was already nine o’clock! Although Jane was still very sleepy, she knew she had to get up because her mother was working in her office and she couldn’t expect her younger brother Tom, who was sleeping like a pig, to answer the Phone. She quickly put on a coat and ran to the living room. When she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warm greeting, “Good morning!” It was from her father, who was a seaman and rarely came back. Suddenly, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared. Born in a not-so-rich family, Jane and Tom felt the stress of life, but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere. At school, they were straight-A students and took part in various after-school activities. They were the pride of the family. “Good morning, Dad. Why do you call us so early on the weekend?” Jane said and pretended to be annoyed. “Tom and I have been very nice recently.” “My dear, today is your mother’s birthday, and I have ordered a cake online and it will be sent to our home late in the afternoon. Do remember to take the cake. It is my surprise for your mother.” Hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a little ashamed. How could she forget her mother’s birthday?! While she was chatting with her father, Jane looked around the room and saw a lot of dirty clothes on the sofa. The floor hadn’t been cleaned for a few days since her mother had to work all this week. She looked at the clock again and was sure that she still had enough time to prepare a surprise for her mother. “Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Tom up.
