I was 12 when I first encountered soccer, but I didn’t get much of a chance to play. When I entered high school, I was thrilled to know that there was a soccer team. My fellow teammates were quite skilled and I had a hard time keeping pace, so I tried my best in every class. Day by day, my passion for soccer grew and I began to love the sport. It wasn’t easy for me to improve, but each time I touched the ball, I got a bit better. The soccer House Cup is a traditional competition in our school. Our team trained hard for these games but for various reasons, we didn’t win any matches. But I can still remember the lunch hours when we practiced, passing the ball to one another, shooting at the goal, and trying repeatedly to master certain moves. I can still recall moments of the matches, defending, taking control of the ball, and passing the ball to other teammates. I can still hear the cheering of the crowd after we made our shot at the goal and succeeded. The best moment of the matches was when we faced House Gewu, a strong opponent. At half-time, the score stood at 3-0. All my teammates are at low morale (士气), and that’s when our goalkeeper said, “We are not winning, but we will not go down without a fight. Let’s struggle and strive (努力) to the end. ”You can tell that her words cheered us. The final score was 4-0, and we did our best. It’s usually believed that to win the championship is the most important thing, but for me, it is the process of fighting with teammates shoulder to shoulder and the spirit presented on the field that are the most valuable. I will always treasure these experiences. 4. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 2? A. He played soccer a lot at 12. B. He made progress quite easily. C.

The circle wanted to be whole with nothing missing, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete, it could roll only very slowly. As it rolled slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them could fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It took the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. To some extent, we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to dream of something better. There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with(接纳) his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go his unrealistic dreams without feeling like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, who can lose someone and still feel like a complete person. When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciating it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others could only long for. We can achieve fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know. 8. What can we know about the circle? A. It suffered a lot during its journey. B. It felt disappointed to be incomplete. C. It was replaced by a triangular wedge. D. It accepted its incompleteness gradually. 9. Why does the author share with readers the story of the circle? A. To show he’s humorous. B. To prove that we need to be perfect. C. To make his argument more persuasive. D. To explain the importance of being complete. 10. How can we achieve fulfillment according to the author? A. By working hard. B. By pursuing perfection. C. By doing better than others. D. By accepting our imperfection and moving on. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. True Meaning of Life B. Ways to Achieve Success C. Learning to Appreciate Life D. To Be More Complete with Imperfection 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者借一个寻找缺失部分的圆圈的故事， 阐述了自己对“complete”和“fulfillment”的理解。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The circle wanted to be whole with nothing missing, so it went around looking for its missing piece.(圆圈想要完整无缺，所以它四处寻找丢失的那块)”以及第二段“It found lots of different pieces, but none of them could fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching.(它找到了许多不同的碎片，但没有一个能装得下。于是它把它们都扔在路边，继续寻找)”可知，圆圈对自己的残缺感到失望，故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To some extent, we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to dream of something better. There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with (接纳) his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go his unrealistic dreams without feeling like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, who can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.(在某种程度上，当我们失去一些东西时，我们会更完整。拥有一切的人在某些方面是个穷人。他永远不会知道梦想更好的东西是什么感觉。人生的完整性在于一个人能够接受自己的缺陷，勇敢地放弃不现实的梦想，而不因此而感到失败。人生的完整性在于一个男人或女人学会了如何坚强地度过悲剧并继续生存下去，能够在失去亲人后仍然觉得自己是一个完整的人)”结合该语篇运用类似寓言故事的写法，借讲述一个有启发意义的故事，发表自己对事物的观点看法。即作者和读者分享这个圆的故事是为了使他的论点更有说服力。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciating it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others could only long for.(当我们接受不完美是人性的一部分，当我们能继续在生活中滚动并欣赏它时，我们就会获得别人梦寐以求的完整)”可知，我们要接受我们的不完美，然后继续前进，才能实现满足。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“To some extent, we are more whole when we are missing something.(在某种程度上，当我们失去一些东西时，我们会更完整)”以及最后一段“When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciating it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others could only long for. We can achieve fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know.(当我们接受不完美是人性一部分，当我们能继续在生活中滚动并欣赏它时，我们就会获得别人梦寐以求的完整。我们可以实现其他生物永远无法实现的成就)”可知，整篇文章都在论证“不完美的人生才是更完整的人生”。D选项“在不完美中变得更完整”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D In recent years, seasonal allergies, also called ha y fever or allergic rhinitis (过敏性鼻炎), have been hitting people around the world especially hard. Seasonal allergies cause great trouble to people, such as sneezing, tiredness, a runny nose or a congested nose which makes it hard for people to breathe. In 2021, as many as 81 million Americans experienced seasonal allergies, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The main cause for seasonal allergies is the spread of pollen (花粉), and researchers are blaming climate change for it. As the planet warms, scientists are seeing two main changes to allergy seasons. Allergy season length is longer and pollen levels are increasing. With warmer winter temperatures, the frost-free season starts earlier in the spring and ends later in the fall. In a research done by William Anderegg, an associate professor at the University of Utah, US, he saw pollen seasons starting about 20 days earlier this year than they did in the 1990s. Pollen levels have also been increasing in the US. Anderegg’s research found about a 21percent increase in the amount of pollen in the air from 1990 to 2018. This increase is likely fueled by a combination of higher temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels in the air, according to Anderegg. The burning of fossil fuels — a primary cause of global warming — increases carbon dioxide. As CO₂ levels go up, plants and trees produce more pollen, according to NBC. Increased rainfall brought on by global warming may be making allergies worse too. “Thunderstorms, pressure changes, and humidity changes that we see through climate change break down pollen spores (孢子) into even smaller pieces, and these pollen spores can then more easily enter the lungs,” Brooke Lappe, a doctoral student at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health, said to NBC. 12. Which is not mentioned as a symptom of allergies? A. Fever. B. Sneezing. C. A blocked nose. D. A run ny nose. 13. What influence does climate change have on allergy seasons? A. Pollen seasons start earlier. B. Allergy seasons last shorter. C. Pollen levels are increasing in the UK. D. Allergy seasons do less harm to people. 14. What can we infer from the passage? A. Allergy seasons last all around the year. B. Global warming decreases rainfall sharply. C. Smaller pollen spores tend to worsen allergies. D. Higher carbon dioxide levels reduce pollen levels. 15. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To give advice on how to deal with allergies. B. To explain why seasonal allergies are worse. C. To draw people’s attention to climate change. D. To inform readers of the seriousness of seasonal allergies. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类季节性过敏问题加剧的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Seasonal allergies cause great trouble to people, such as sneezing, tiredness, a runny nose or a congested nose which makes it hard for people to breathe.(季节性过敏会给人们带来很大的麻烦，比如打喷嚏、疲劳、流鼻涕或鼻塞，使人们呼吸困难)”可知，发烧没有被认为是过敏的症状。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In a research done by William Anderegg, an associate professor at the University of Utah, US, he saw pollen seasons starting about 20 days earlier this year than they did in the 1990s.(在美国犹他大学副教授威廉·安德雷格的一项研究中，他发现今年的花粉季节比上世纪90年代提前了20天左右)”可知，气候变化导致花粉季节开始得更早，从而对过敏季节产生影响。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Increased rainfall brought on by global warming may be making allergies worse too.(全球变暖带来的降雨增加可能也会加重过敏)”以及“Thunderstorms, pressure changes, and humidity changes that we see through climate change break down pollen spores (孢子) into even smaller pieces, and these pollen spores can then more easily enter the lungs(雷暴，气压变化，以及气候变化带来的湿度变化会把花粉孢子分解成更小的碎片，这些花粉孢子更容易进入肺部)”可知，较小的花粉孢子容易加重过敏。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The main cause for seasonal allergies is the spread of pollen(花粉), and researchers are blaming climate change for it.(季节性过敏的主要原因是花粉的传播，研究人员将其归咎于气候变化)”结合文章主要介绍了人类季节性过敏问题加剧的原因。可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是解释为什么季节性过敏更严重。故选B。 第二节 七选五 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Group discussions are a way of expressing your thoughts and opinions with other people.

I was 12 when I first encountered soccer, but I didn’t get much of a chance to play. When I entered high school, I was thrilled to know that there was a soccer team. My fellow teammates were quite skilled and I had a hard time keeping pace, so I tried my best in every class. Day by day, my passion for soccer grew and I began to love the sport. It wasn’t easy for me to improve, but each time I touched the ball, I got a bit better. The soccer House Cup is a traditional competition in our school. Our team trained hard for these games but for various reasons, we didn’t win any matches. But I can still remember the lunch hours when we practiced, passing the ball to one another, shooting at the goal, and trying repeatedly to master certain moves. I can still recall moments of the matches, defending, taking control of the ball, and passing the ball to other teammates. I can still hear the cheering of the crowd after we made our shot at the goal and succeeded. The best moment of the matches was when we faced House Gewu, a strong opponent. At half-time, the score stood at 3-0. All my teammates are at low morale (士气), and that’s when our goalkeeper said, “We are not winning, but we will not go down without a fight. Let’s struggle and strive (努力) to the end. ”You can tell that her words cheered us. The final score was 4-0, and we did our best. It’s usually believed that to win the championship is the most important thing, but for me, it is the process of fighting with teammates shoulder to shoulder and the spirit presented on the field that are the most valuable. I will always treasure these experiences. 4. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 2? A. He played soccer a lot at 12. B. He made progress quite easily. C.

The circle wanted to be whole with nothing missing, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete, it could roll only very slowly. As it rolled slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them could fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It took the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. To some extent, we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to dream of something better. There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with(接纳) his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go his unrealistic dreams without feeling like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, who can lose someone and still feel like a complete person. When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciating it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others could only long for. We can achieve fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know. 8. What can we know about the circle? A. It suffered a lot during its journey. B. It felt disappointed to be incomplete. C. It was replaced by a triangular wedge. D. It accepted its incompleteness gradually. 9. Why does the author share with readers the story of the circle? A. To show he’s humorous. B. To prove that we need to be perfect. C. To make his argument more persuasive. D. To explain the importance of being complete. 10. How can we achieve fulfillment according to the author? A. By working hard. B. By pursuing perfection. C. By doing better than others. D. By accepting our imperfection and moving on. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. True Meaning of Life B. Ways to Achieve Success C. Learning to Appreciate Life D. To Be More Complete with Imperfection D In recent years, seasonal allergies, also called ha y fever or allergic rhinitis (过敏性鼻炎), have been hitting people around the world especially hard. Seasonal allergies cause great trouble to people, such as sneezing, tiredness, a runny nose or a congested nose which makes it hard for people to breathe. In 2021, as many as 81 million Americans experienced seasonal allergies, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The main cause for seasonal allergies is the spread of pollen (花粉), and researchers are blaming climate change for it. As the planet warms, scientists are seeing two main changes to allergy seasons. Allergy season length is longer and pollen levels are increasing. With warmer winter temperatures, the frost-free season starts earlier in the spring and ends later in the fall. In a research done by William Anderegg, an associate professor at the University of Utah, US, he saw pollen seasons starting about 20 days earlier this year than they did in the 1990s. Pollen levels have also been increasing in the US. Anderegg’s research found about a 21percent increase in the amount of pollen in the air from 1990 to 2018. This increase is likely fueled by a combination of higher temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels in the air, according to Anderegg. The burning of fossil fuels — a primary cause of global warming — increases carbon dioxide. As CO₂ levels go up, plants and trees produce more pollen, according to NBC. Increased rainfall brought on by global warming may be making allergies worse too. “Thunderstorms, pressure changes, and humidity changes that we see through climate change break down pollen spores (孢子) into even smaller pieces, and these pollen spores can then more easily enter the lungs,” Brooke Lappe, a doctoral student at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health, said to NBC. 12. Which is not mentioned as a symptom of allergies? A. Fever. B. Sneezing. C. A blocked nose. D. A run ny nose. 13. What influence does climate change have on allergy seasons? A. Pollen seasons start earlier. B. Allergy seasons last shorter. C. Pollen levels are increasing in the UK. D. Allergy seasons do less harm to people. 14. What can we infer from the passage? A. Allergy seasons last all around the year. B. Global warming decreases rainfall sharply. C. Smaller pollen spores tend to worsen allergies. D. Higher carbon dioxide levels reduce pollen levels. 15. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To give advice on how to deal with allergies. B. To explain why seasonal allergies are worse. C. To draw people’s attention to climate change. D.
