After other students finished reading the papers one by one, finally, it was Lily’s turn. Frozen with fear, Lily stood in front of the class, with her hands holding her paper, shaking. Seeing it, Mr. Johnson told a funny joke, which made all laugh. Feeling more relaxed, Lily began reading. She was so focused that she felt she was alone. She didn’t notice that her story soon attracted all her classmates who sat up straight, without any chatting. They were lost in her fantastic story. After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. Lily was shocked. When she raised her head, she found everyone staring at her excitedly. Lily finally smiled. She found everyone in the class responded to her story positively. After that class, Lily slowly lifted her head while walking. Later, she kept writing. And she began speaking in front of people and enjoyed it. A braver and more confident girl appeared.

This is face-to-face from Radio One. With us today is the great tennis player Roger Federer. Welcome, Mr Federal. Thank you for having me here. So, Mr. Federal, we all know that you retired at the age of 41. How long did your professional tennis career last? Well, I picked up tennis when I was three and turned professional at the age of 17. What's your most unforgettable match in your professional tennis career? It was the 2017Australian Open. At that time, I hadn't trained for almost six months because of a severe knee injury. I had an operation and it took me a long time to recover. I hadn't expected that I would make it to the final and win the title. Amazing. How did you do that? I guess it was my firm belief and desire to win, as I always say, if you believe you can go really far in your life. Text ten As a Young child, I always enjoyed physical challenges more than mental ones. I like to run and build swings. At that stage, I hadn't yet learned to climb or swim, but I would have loved to try those two. One day, we had a physical education class at school. We did the long jump and handstands, but it was when I tried to do a forward roll, the disaster struck. Somehow, I twisted my neck in an extremely painful way. I screamed loudly, and the teachers were very concerned. An ambulance was called, and I was taken to a hospital. The doctors fitted me with a collar, and I was told to avoid exercise and stay away from school for eight weeks. At first, I was very bored. Having to keep still all day was no fun. So I started to read. I looked at books on the shelf at home. I wasn't interested in love stories. I avoided those, but crime and adventure did appeal to me. During those eight weeks, I developed a lifelong love of reading. When my collar was removed, the doctors told me not to exercise for another four weeks. Instead of being disappointed, I was happy to devote more time to my new love-- reading. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语试卷第一部分听力，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意听力部分答题时请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍，现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Text one, what type of room would you like?

Apart from offering unforgettable views of the architecture, the city's transportations are convenient, efficient, and also relatively inexpensive. PASSES Instead of paying EUR 7 per ride, a better option is to purchase one of ACTV's passes, which offer unlimited travel for 1 day (EUR 20), 2 days (EUR 30), 3 days (EUR 40) or 1 week (EUR 60). For children and young people between the ages of 6 and 29, ACTV offers a special "Rolling Venice" 3-day pass (EUR 29). BY GONDOLA Considered by many as the most symbolic feature of Venice, today gondolas circulate most often on canals in the centre of the city, carrying tourists on rides at fixed rates, which tend to be rather high. A 40-minute ride costs around EUR 100, but may be shared by as many as six passengers. BY RENTAL BOAT It is possible to rent a boat to travel around Venice's canals. A boating permit is not required, but you will need to pass a basic turning and docking test before being allowed to rent a boat. Rates start at EUR 30 per hour. BY WATER TAXI Getting around by water taxi in Venice is most costly, but can be a convenient option when you are in a hurry or need to carry a lot of luggage. The initial charge is EUR 15, then EUR 2 per minute. If you have more than one bag per passenger, there is a charge of EUR 3 for each additional piece. Note: There are only four fueling stations for boats in Venice. Make sure you note their locations before heading out. 21．What is said about the ACTV’s pass? A．It provides the tourists with five choices. B．It is only suitable for kids and the young. C．It should be ordered ahead of time online. D．It is a certificate given to the foreign tourists. 22．Why does the author recommend gondola? A．Because it is the most economical means. B．Because tourists can enjoy the city for longer. C．Because tourists will be clear about the cost. D．Because it represents the city of Venice. 23．Which of the following may cost you most? A．PASSES. B．BY GONDOLA． C．BY WATER TAXI. D．BY RENTAL BOAT. B Rowan Atkinson is an English actor, comedian and screenwriter. In Britain, Mr Atkinson is mostly famous for many successful TV shows but internationally we know him best as the awkward, clumsy, but always amusing Mr Bean. If you think that Rowan Atkinson is anything like his famous creation, then you are in for a surprise. On the contrary, he is nothing like Mr Bean. Rowan was born on 6 january, 1955. He grew up on a farm with his parents and three older brothers. His father was very strict and did not believe in the value10 of television. Rowan had a very successful academic career. At the age of 13, he was awarded a scholarship to a boarding school. Later,he studied at Newcastle University,where he attained the highest marks in his year. At Oxford, he obtained his master's degree in electrical engineering. This may explain why he loves fast cars, of which he has many. When Rowan was young, he had a stutter and to make his speech clearer, he began to speak very carefully. This may be why some of his characters have unusual ways of speaking. As early as primary school, Rowan had already shown a talent for acting, but20 it was only later at university that he decided to become an actor. A key event occurred one day in 1976 when he was playing around and pulling a face in the mirror. “I discovered my face," he said later. John Lloyd, who worked as a producer for BBC Television, says that one rarely meets someone with such genius, and that when he worked with Atkinson he25 became convinced that Rowan would be more famous than Charlie Chaplin. 24．From the first paragraph we know____________. A．Mr. Atkinson is completely different from Mr. Bean B．Mr. Atkinson is famous to the British as a comedian C．Mr. Atkinson is very much like Mr. Bean D．Mr. Atkinson is really Mr. Bean 25．The reason why Mr. Atkinson loves fast cars is that ___________. A．he was awarded a scholarship B．he has many fast cars C．he is good at electrical engineering D．he attained the highest marks 26．What does the sentence “I discovered my face” mean? A．he found he is handsome. B．he saw his face in the mirror. C．he realized he had genius as an actor. D．he didn’t know who he was. 27．Which of the following may be the best title of the passage? A．Rowan Atkinson B．The Contemporary Chaplin C．A famous Comedian D．A Talented Actor C Older people worry about how to make young ones, who love their devices, interested in old books. Like the Monkey King from Journey to the West, he was a favorite hero before the Internet came along. Havoc in Heaven（大闹天宫）, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the charm of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and make-up for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics. It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed. Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the prerecorded music. “If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said. On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes. Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but they gave way to more diverse entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression. 28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To blame young people addicted to electronic devices. B. To express older people’s concern about the young generation. C. To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art. D. To introduce a new Peking Opera film that the article is to deal with. 29. What did Director Cheng do while producing the film? A. He made changes to basic performance skills. B. He made use of symbols and motions equally. C. He insisted on a band playing music on the scene. D. He brought onto the stage exact details of real life. 30. What innovation did Cheng’s team make? A. They opposed a rigid recording of the performance. B. They enriched visual effects with modern technology. C. They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera. D. They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting. 31. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films. B. Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination. C. There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera. D. The traditional appeal of Peking Opera should not be given up for movies. D A form of gene therapy that is already being trialled in patients with Parkinson’s disease might provide a treatment for severe alcohol addiction. Alcohol misuse is the biggest risk factor for death, disability and ill health among people aged 15 to 49 in the UK, responsible for 9,641 deaths during 2021. Like other addictive substances, alcohol triggers the release of a feelgood chemical in the brain called dopamine. However, long-term drinking decreases dopamine release, and people who are addicted to alcohol don’t tend to feel pleasure in drinking it any more. “It seems that they’re drinking more because they feel a need to maintain a drunk state,” said Prof Kathleen Grant at Oregon Health and Science University. The idea of the gene therapy was to try to reset this dopamine reward pathway by enhancing the function of brain cells that synthesize dopamine. Like humans, some macaque monkeys are more likely to drink heavily than others: if you begin to offer them the choice of 5% alcohol alongside their regular food and water, some monkeys will eventually almost always choose the alcohol. Grant and her colleagues wondered whether resetting their dopamine reward pathways might contain their desire to drink alcohol. To do this, they used a harmless virus to deliver the gene for a protein called glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to an area of the brain that is involved in addiction and reward. “We targeted the cell bodies that produce dopamine with this gene to increase dopamine synthesis, thus supplementing or restoring what long-term drinking has taken away,” Grant said. The research, which was published in Nature Medicine, found that the macaques permanently started overexpressing dopamine and decreased their alcohol consumption by up to 90%. “We are entering an era of gene therapy for neurological disorders and perhaps mental disorders, and I think this study is very promising in that direction.” Grant said. She added that animal studies are needed before the technique could be tested on humans. Also, because the gene therapy procedure involves brain surgery, it would probably only ever be used in the most severe cases of alcohol addiction. 32. Why do severe alcohol addicts drink more? A. Because they long for desired pleasure. B. Because they have a form of gene defect. C. Because they want to escape from reality. D. Because they suffer from deadly disability. 33. The underlined word “synthesize” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by_______. A. Stimulate. B. Produce. C. Charge. D. Delay. 34. What did Grant’s study focus on? A. The life habit of macaque monkeys. B. The way to control alcohol addiction. C. The working mechanism of dopamine. D. The function of the protein called GDNF. 35. What did Grant suggest about the gene therapy? A. Employ it to treat severe alcohol addiction only. B. Replace it with more efficient methods if necessary. C. Confirm its effectiveness with more tests on humans. D. Put it into widespread use on other common species. 第2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。 Why Not Build A DIY Ebike?

The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class. Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn’t think others would like her. Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.” Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and disappointed. “Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story. “OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2: After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 英语试卷 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
