A. a B. an C. the
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:毕业后,他没有去工作,而是去了一个欧洲国家深造。

【答案】B
【解析】

考查动词短语。have been to“去过某地且已经回来了”;have gone to“去了某地还没有回来”。根据“three times”可知,应是去过三次了,用have been to,空后是副词there,所以其前不用介词to。故选B。
3. The students in our class came to a(n) ______ at last. They decided to visit the history museum the next day.
A. agreement B. development C. department
【答案】A
【解析】

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你要采访姚明吗?——是的,我想让你给我提供一些关于他的信息。

A. used to; use to B. am used to; used to C. used to; am used to

考查动词短语。used to do表示“过去常常做某事”;am used to do表示“被用来做某事”;am used to doing表示“习惯于做某事”。根据“but now”及语境可知,应是现在与过去相对比,因此第一空选used to,表示“过去坐出租车”,第二空选am used to riding,表示“习惯骑自行车”。故选C。

Do you like visiting parks? Have you heard of “20-minute for parks”? It says that just staying in a park for 20 minutes can make you feel better, no matter how you choose to spend the time. In the Douban interest group “We Love Strolling in the Park”, park lovers from both home and abroad share their park experiences, post photos and videos, and give park suggestions and reviews.
A lady, Huang Bingbing from Shenzhen, began visiting a small park near her company after lunch over three years ago. “On the grass, I could connect with living plants and animals. It allowed me to refresh my mind and get away from the stress of work,” Huang explained. Huang believes that parks are private spaces. She considers herself an introverted (内向) person, and parks serve as the perfect recharging spots for introverts. She often spends time alone in parks, free from worrying about talking to people.
Parks can also be used as public places. Cheng Yuyan, who started the Douban group, found something interesting during her visits to parks abroad. She noticed that a lot of park benches (长椅) were given by local people with the names of donors (捐赠者) on them. Moreover, many parks offered guidebooks about the history, geography, and the plants.
Inspired by these practices, Cheng believes people can further deepen their connection with parks by developing a sense of ownership. She plans to encourage members of her Douban group to help take care of parks and make them better places for everyone.

A. raising questions B. telling stories C. giving facts D. listing numbers
32. Why does Huang Bingbing go to the park?

35. What is Cheng Yuyan’s plan?

It is often said, “You can’t live only on air.” But now the Chinese scientists will tell you: Maybe you can.
A team of Chinese scientists have developed a new technology. They turned CO₂, one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch (淀粉).
Starch is the main part of flour, rice and corn that we eat every day. Usually, it’s created by plants with CO₂, water and sunlight. According to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly 60 steps to produce starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps.
“Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas,” said Ma.
The scientists first turned CO₂ and hydrogen (氢气) into methanol (甲醇). Then they turned these small and simple methanol molecules (分子) into bigger and more complex ones. Finally, the starch was produced.
This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, replacing traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO₂ to deal with climate change, according to China Daily.
The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts (宇航员) may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO₂ they breathe out into the food they eat!
36. What’s the main part of flour, rice and corn?
A. Water. B. Starch. C. CO₂. D. Methanol.
37. What did the scientists do first to make starch?
A. They recycled CO₂ in space.
B. They produced rice and corn on the farm.
C They turned CO₂ and hydrogen into methanol.
D. They made methanol molecules into bigger ones.
38. What does the underlined word “complex” mean in Chinese?
A. 轻盈的 B. 单一的 C. 复杂的 D. 环保的
39. The technology may be helpful in the following areas EXCEPT ________.
A. producing food B. putting sunlight to good use
C. saving water and land D. dealing with climate change
40. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. It is possible to turn CO₂ into corn now.
B. Producing starch in the lab needs more steps than before.
C. The new technology can replace traditional farming.
D. Astronauts may take advantage of the new technology.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. C 39. B 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了中国科学家将二氧化碳转化为淀粉,该技术有助粮食生产、环保及太空应用。

About 40 years ago, satellites saw a few small areas of vegetation in the Antarctic Peninsula. These plants covered about 740 square meters.
Since then, however, the land has been turning green quickly. A new study shows that mosses (苔藓) have taken up more than 12 million square meters — nearly four times the size of New York’s Central Park! Based on satellite pictures from 1986 to 2021, the study shows that the greening has sped up by 30 percent since 2016. That’s fast enough to cover nearly 75 football fields per year.
“Our findings show that the effect of climate change has no limit in its reach,” said Thomas Roland, an environmental scientist. “Even in the most faraway and lonely land, the landscape (景观) is changing.” The Antarctic is the coldest place on Earth. But it has recently been troubled by extreme (极端的) heat events. This summer, a record-breaking heat wave hit parts of the Antarctic. Temperatures were about 10℃ higher than normal in mid-July.
As the planet heats up, Antarctica will keep on warming, which means this greening may happen faster. The more the peninsula greens, the more soil will form. Non-native plants will probably take root in the land. Antarctica’s native wildlife and ecological (生态的) system can be in danger as a result. “Seeds and small pieces of plants can easily find their way along with tourists, birds and the wind,” Roland said. The plant cover could reduce the Antarctic’s ability to reflect the sun’s heat energy back into space. That’s because darker surfaces take in more heat.
At present, the Antarctic landscape is still almost all snow, ice and rock. In the long run, however, they could help further encourage the growth of plants as the climate continues to warm. “The landscape in the Antarctic could be changed forever,” said another scientist.
41. What was the size of the vegetation in the Antarctic Peninsula about 40 years ago?
A. About 740 square meters. B. More than 75 football fields.
C. More than 12 million square meters. D. About the size of New York’s Central Park.
42. Paragraph 3 explains ________.
A. how Thomas found the Antarctic B. why the Antarctic keeps greening
C. why the Antarctic is the coldest place D. how the landscape in the Antarctic changes
43. What does the underlined word “they” refer to?
A. Snow, ice and rock. B. Plants. C. Tourists, birds and wind. D. Scientists.
44. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To describe the greening in the Antarctic.
B. To explain the reasons for climate change.
C. To warn people of the ecological changes in Antarctic.
D. To call on people to do more research on the peninsula.
45. The structure (结构) of the text is ________.
A. B. C. D.
【答案】41. A 42. B 43. A 44. C 45. A
【解析】

【答案】Where have you been
【解析】
【详解】根据“I’ve been to a shopping center with Mike.”可知,B在回答“去过哪里”的问题,且是现在完成时,因此A的提问是关于去向的,“Where have you been?”是英语中询问某人去向的常用表达,意为“你去哪儿了?”。故填Where have you been。
52. A: __________________?
B: The population of the world is about 8.2 billion.

53. A: I want to get an A in the mid-term English exam and I’ll study hard!
B: Actions __________________. You should start now.

Do you like visiting parks? Have you heard of “20-minute for parks”? It says that just staying in a park for 20 minutes can make you feel better, no matter how you choose to spend the time. In the Douban interest group “We Love Strolling in the Park”, park lovers from both home and abroad share their park experiences, post photos and videos, and give park suggestions and reviews.
A lady, Huang Bingbing from Shenzhen, began visiting a small park near her company after lunch over three years ago. “On the grass, I could connect with living plants and animals. It allowed me to refresh my mind and get away from the stress of work,” Huang explained. Huang believes that parks are private spaces. She considers herself an introverted (内向) person, and parks serve as the perfect recharging spots for introverts. She often spends time alone in parks, free from worrying about talking to people.
Parks can also be used as public places. Cheng Yuyan, who started the Douban group, found something interesting during her visits to parks abroad. She noticed that a lot of park benches (长椅) were given by local people with the names of donors (捐赠者) on them. Moreover, many parks offered guidebooks about the history, geography, and the plants.
Inspired by these practices, Cheng believes people can further deepen their connection with parks by developing a sense of ownership. She plans to encourage members of her Douban group to help take care of parks and make them better places for everyone.
31. The writer starts the passage by ________.
A. raising questions B. telling stories C. giving facts D. listing numbers
32. Why does Huang Bingbing go to the park?
A. To enjoy her lunch outdoors. B. To meet different people.
C. To study plants and animals. D. To relax from her work.
33. The underlined part suggests that parks are perfect places for introverts to ________.
A. give park reviews B. talk to people C. rest body and mind D. work outdoors
34. According to Paragraph 3, what caught Cheng Yuyan’s attention during her experiences abroad?
①Photos of the parks. ②Benches with donors’ names.
③Guidebooks about history. ④Videos from park lovers.
A. ①④ B. ②③ C. ①③ D. ②④
35. What is Cheng Yuyan’s plan?
A. Sharing her park experiences.
B. Encouraging people to care for parks.
C. Setting up more Douban groups.
D. Calling on people to visit parks abroad.
C
It is often said, “You can’t live only on air.” But now the Chinese scientists will tell you: Maybe you can.
A team of Chinese scientists have developed a new technology. They turned CO₂ one of the main greenhouse gases, into starch (淀粉).
Starch is the main part of flour, rice and corn that we eat every day. Usually, it’s created by plants with CO₂, water and sunlight. According to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, it takes the plants nearly 60 steps to produce starch. But now, the team, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps.
“Our study shows that creating something like starch is possible in a lab, and this technology may be helpful in many areas,” said Ma.
The scientists first turned CO₂ and hydrogen (氢气) into methanol (甲醇). Then they turned these small and simple methanol molecules (分子) into bigger and more complex ones. Finally, the starch was produced.
This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, replacing traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of food, but also save water and land. It may also help recycle CO₂ to deal with climate change, according to China Daily.
The study can be helpful in space, too. Astronauts (宇航员) may no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO₂ they breathe out into the food they eat!
36. What’s the main part of flour, rice and corn?
A. Water. B. Starch. C. CO₂. D. Methanol.
37. What did the scientists do first to make starch?
A. They recycled CO₂ in space.
B. They produced rice and corn on the farm.
C. They turned CO₂ and hydrogen into methanol.
D. They made methanol molecules into bigger ones.
38. What does the underlined word “complex” mean in Chinese?
A. 轻盈的 B. 单一的 C. 复杂的 D. 环保的
39. The technology may be helpful in the following areas EXCEPT ________.
A. producing food B. putting sunlight to good use
C. saving water and land D. dealing with climate change
40. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

About 40 years ago, satellites saw a few small areas of vegetation in the Antarctic Peninsula. These plants covered about 740 square meters.
Since then, however, the land has been turning green quickly. A new study shows that mosses (苔藓) have taken up more than 12 million square meters — nearly four times the size of New York’s Central Park! Based on satellite pictures from 1986 to 2021, the study shows that the greening has sped up by 30 percent since 2016. That’s fast enough to cover nearly 75 football fields per year.
“Our findings show that the effect of climate change has no limit in its reach,” said Thomas Roland, an environmental scientist. “Even in the most faraway and lonely land, the landscape (景观) is changing.” The Antarctic is the coldest place on Earth. But it has recently been troubled by extreme (极端的) heat events. This summer, a record-breaking heat wave hit parts of the Antarctic. Temperatures were about 10℃ higher than normal in mid-July.
As the planet heats up, Antarctica will keep on warming, which means this greening may happen faster. The more the peninsula greens, the more soil will form. Non-native plants will probably take root in the land. Antarctica’s native wildlife and ecological (生态的) system can be in danger as a result. “Seeds and small pieces of plants can easily find their way along with tourists, birds and the wind,” Roland said. The plant cover could reduce the Antarctic’s ability to reflect the sun’s heat energy back into space. That’s because darker surfaces take in more heat.
At present, the Antarctic landscape is still almost all snow, ice and rock. In the long run, however, they could help further encourage the growth of plants as the climate continues to warm. “The landscape in the Antarctic could be changed forever,” said another scientist.
