That’s quite a high number and shows how popular houseboat living is here. We’re at the southern end of Lake Union right now. As you have probably seen already, this is a lively area with restaurants and shops and cafes. During our one-hour tour you’ll see a number of houseboats. People can pay millions of dollars for the biggest of these. Some of them are quite amazing and have two or three floors. My own is one of the smallest boats, but I still have plenty of room, as you’ll see when I show you around. My living area includes one bedroom with a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. I also have electricity, running water and network, so I really do have everything I need. You may be interested to know that I’m writing a book on the history of houseboats in the city, and this should be on sale from early July. Well, thank you for listening so far. Now let’s move into the boat and start the tour.
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
When it comes to choosing where to go for a vacation, what we’re going to eat and drink can be a big part of making travel plans.
Of course, it’s subjective according to personal tastes, but this is TV Travel’s take on some of the best food cultures and destinations around the world.
So, as you dream about where you’ll go next, which top 10 cuisines rule?
American Food
Many of the popular foods in the USA originate in some other cuisine. The pizza slice is Italian. Fries are Belgian or Dutch. Hamburgers and frankfurters? Likely German. But in the kitchens of the United States, they have been improved and added to-becoming global icons for food lovers everywhere.
Chinese Food
The people who greet each other with “Have you eaten yet?” are arguably the most food-obsessed in the world. But the Chinese don’t just cook and sell anything; they also make it taste great.
China’s regional cuisines are so different and it’s hard to believe they’re from the same nation. It’s not a food culture you can easily summarize except to say you’ll certainly want to taste.
French Food
If you’re one of those people who don’t like to eat because “there’s more to life than food,” then visit Paris. It’s a city known for its picky consumers, but they all believe in the importance of good food. Two-hour lunch breaks for three-course meals are common.
Italian Food
Italian food has been popular around the world for centuries, with its tasty tomato sauces, those clever things they do with wheat flour and desserts that are basically vehicles for cream.
It’s all so simple. Get some noodles, get some olive oil, and get some garlic, maybe a tomato or a slice of bacon. Bam! You have a party on a plate. And it is all so easy to cook and eat.
From the cheesy risottos to the crisp fried meats, Italian cuisine is a collection of crowd-pleasing comfort food. Many people have welcomed it into their homes, especially green hand cooks. There lies the real genius-Italian food has become everyman’s food.
21. Which food mainly comes from other cultures?
A. American food B. Chinese Food
C. French Food D. Italian Food
22. In which country are the foods very different from each other?
A. In USA B. In China C. In France D. In Italy
23. Who likes Italian food best?
A. Housewives B. Chefs C. Foreigners D. New cooks
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了我们在度假时需要考虑饮食问题,并且介绍了几种美食。

When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart in a way that set him apart from his schoolmates at his elementary school, P. S. 81, in the Bronx. “He told me we drove too much and made too much pollution,” his dad, Jonathan Cane, told Runner’s World. So Simon convinced his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures.
“For much of kindergarten and first grade I rode my bike to Simon’s school with him on the back,” Jonathan said. “We had a lot of fun being outdoors. We’d stop to give our dog treats and generally enjoyed it.” As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together — both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1. 5 miles to school.
But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1. 5 miles to P. S. 81. And Jonathan promised his son he’d join him for as long as he wanted.
“We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a go. To be honest, I thought he’d blink (眨眼)after it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,” Jonathan said. He recalled one day when the weather was particularly bad. “It’s really raining out there today,” he told Simon. “And Simon said, ‘Well then we’re going to get wet!’ He took pride in toughing it out, and it became a really fun family routine.”
Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that runs to school”.
24. What makes Simon different from his classmates?
A. Washing his clothes by himself. B. Taking many classes after school.
C. Raising strange questions in class. D. Taking green measures to protect the environment.
25. How did Simon usually go to school in second grade?
A. By car. B. By cycling. C. By running. D. By school bus.
26. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Simon has trouble with his eyesight. B. Simon is really stubborn and inflexible.
C. Simon is much tougher than expected. D. Simon didn’t get support from his father.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Best Way to Go to School
B. Father and Son Run for the Environment
C A Teenager Keeps Running to Inspire Father
D. Three Inspiring Running Athletes to Protect the Environment
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述一位八岁的男孩 Simon Cane为环保做出的实际行动——和爸爸一起跑去上学。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart in a way that set him apart from his schoolmates at his elementary school, P. S. 81, in the Bronx.(当Simon Cane上二年级的时候,他开始学习人类对环境的所有影响,并真正把课堂上所学的内容牢记在心,在某种程度上这使他与布朗克斯的第81公立小学的同学们区别开来。)”以及“So Simon convinced his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures.(所以,西蒙说服他的父母把衣服挂起来晾干,不坐电梯而走楼梯,以及采取其他“绿色”措施。)”可知,当Simon Cane上二年级的时候,他开始学习人类对环境的所有影响,把那些课堂上所学的内容铭记于心,并且采取“绿色”措施保护环境,这使得他跟他的同学不同。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together — both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1. 5 miles to school. (然而,随着西蒙长大,骑在他爸爸自行车的后座,对他来说并不现实,但一起骑车也没有意义——既是出于安全考虑,也是因为没有地方放西蒙的自行车。所以大多数时候他们都开车1.5英里到学校。)”以及第三段“But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1. 5 miles to P. S. 81. (但是在2019年,那时候8岁的西蒙上三年级,他提出了一个帮助地球的新方法:跑步1.5英里去布朗克斯第81公立小学。)”可推知,二年级时 Simon Cane主要是坐车去上学。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“‘To be honest, I thought he’d blink (眨眼)after it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,’ Jonathan said. (说实话,我以为天冷了或下雨了他就会犹豫一下,但他从来没有。)”可知,Simon Cane比预料的要坚强。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读全文,尤其是根据第一段“When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart(当西蒙·凯恩上二年级的时候,他开始学习人类对环境的所有影响,并真正把课堂上学的内容牢记在心。)”以及最后一段“Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that runs to school.”( 从一开始,西蒙就和他的爸爸和他们的黑狗萝拉一起跑步,甚至还激励了他的妈妈 (Nicole Sin Quee)也加入进来。他们很快就被称为“跑去上学的家庭”。)”可知,本文主要讲述八岁的男孩 Simon Cane很重视环保,并且为环保做出的实际行动——和爸爸一起跑步去上学。故选B项。
C
Ten originated in China over two thousand years ago. Today, the country owns over 2,000 varieties of tea, differing in taste, sweet and purpose. Some teas, such as Huang Shan, refresh the sense of taste with their special flavour, while others, such as spicy chai, are added with spices (香料).
China first started exporting tea during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), and the drink has since come to lead humanity's drinking habits far beyond Asia. It is the most widely consumed drink on Earth today, aside from water and coffee.
In Chinese mythology, tea was first discovered by Chinese Emperor Shennong (“Divine Farmer”) in 737 BC, when a soft wind carried some leaves into a pot of boiling water. However, the oldest dependable evidence comes from ancient plant remains found in 2016 in Xi'an and western Xizang, showing that tea was grown at least 2,100 years ago during the Western Han dynasty when it was most likely used as medicine.
Generation after generation of tea makers experimented with different brewing (冲泡) techniques, leaves, and ceremonies, resulting in today’s tea culture full of life. There’s no doubt that China’s tea culture has become one of the most popular, diverse, and unique traditions in the world.
China is already the world’s largest tea exporter. The inclusion of the country’s traditional tea-making process on the UNESCO list will obviously generate practical benefits for tea makers in the country and across the world as more resources are given to protect and preserve such millennia-old tea culture and technical practices. As additional attention is brought to this traditional technique, the Chinese tea sector will further tap its potential and improve its growth.
As one of China’s oldest cultural practices, traditional tea processing techniques show the spirit of modesty (谦逊), peace, and comity (礼让). No matter your preference for green or dark tea, with milk or without, Chinese tea isn’t just brews. Instead, it is a bridge connecting different cultures and peoples.
28. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Chinese tea has a fresh taste. B. Chinese tea has a rich variety.
C. Chinese tea has a long history. D. Chinese tea is added with spices.
29. How does the author find about Chinese tea?
A. Hopeful. B. Objective. C. Careless. D. Disapproving.
30. What is the best title for the text?
A. Chinese Tea Benefits the Globe a Lot
B. Chinese Protect and Develop Its Tea Culture
C. Chinese Tea Is Included in the UNESCO List
D. China Plays a Vital Part in Cultural Diversity
31. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. A book review.
C. A culture magazine. D. A science fiction.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。中国茶是最古老的文化习俗之一,其传统的制茶工艺体现了谦逊、和谐和礼让的精神。它是一座连接不同文化和民族的桥梁。
【详解】1.主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Today, the country owns over 2,000 varieties of tea, differing in taste, sweet and purpose.(如今,该国拥有2000多种茶叶,口味、甜度和用途各不相同。)”以及下一句“Some teas, such as Huang Shan, refresh the sense of taste with their special flavour, while others, such as spicy chai, are added with spices (香料).(有些茶,如黄山茶,以其独特的味道刷新味觉,而其他茶,如辣茶,则添加了香料。)”的举例说明可知,本段主要阐述了中国的茶品种丰富。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据全文,尤其是第五段的“As additional attention is brought to this traditional technique, the Chinese tea sector will further tap its potential and improve its growth.(随着对这一传统技术的更多关注,中国茶行业将进一步挖掘其潜力并改善其增长。)”可知,作者认为中国茶叶行业有其潜力,必将不断增长。即对其未来充满希望。故选A。
3.主旨大意题。根据全文,尤其是最后一段“As one of China’s oldest cultural practices, traditional tea processing techniques show the spirit of modesty (谦逊), peace, and comity (礼让). No matter your preference for green or dark tea, with milk or without, Chinese tea isn’t just brews. Instead, it is a bridge connecting different cultures and peoples.(作为中国最古老的文化习俗之一,传统的茶叶加工工艺表现出谦虚、和平和礼让的精神。无论你喜欢绿茶还是红茶,加奶还是不加奶,中国茶都不仅仅是冲泡的。相反,它是一座连接不同文化和民族的桥梁。)”可知,本文主要阐述中国茶是最古老的文化习俗之一,其传统的制茶工艺体现了谦逊、和谐和礼让的精神。它是一座连接不同文化和民族的桥梁。因此推断B项“中国保护和发展茶文化”为最佳标题。故选B。
4. 推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了中国茶,是关于中国文化的,最可能出现在文化杂志上。故选C。

Rising water temperatures and the increasing levels of carbon dioxide in our oceans are killing our beautiful coral reefs at a surprising speed. Add the current extreme weather pattern, and things look even worse.
So what makes coral so sensitive? Although it may be hard to believe, corals are not plants, but animals. The colorful reefs we admire so much happen to be skeletons(骨骼) given up by hundreds of thousands of polyps(珊瑚虫). To survive, these animals live with an algae(海藻). The coral polyps give the algae a home and then the algae provide the polyps with their bright color and food.
But the rising water temperatures are causing the coral polyps to lose their algae friends. As a result, the corals are not only losing their food source but also their beautiful colors.
The disappearance of the coral not only makes humans lose the chance to admire the beautiful coral reefs. It also removes a natural barrier which protects shorelines from storms and also fewer living places for fish and other sea animals.
To prevent these important animals from disappearing, a team of researchers are attempting to raise ‘super’ corals.
They began by selecting certain coral species that seems to have got used to the changing ocean conditions. Then they made them even more adaptable to warmer water. Once ready, the researchers plan to transplant the coral into Hawaii’s Kaneohe Bay.
This sounds simple, but they are not sure that it will work because coral is sensitive to touch and also develops very slowly and infrequently. Also, past attempts to remove coral have failed because they were either eaten by fish or died of disease.
Though there exist these dangers, researchers believe there’s no other choice to prevent the reefs from disappearing. Tom Oliver, a scientist says, “The question is not ‘can they do it?’, but ‘can they do it fast enough?’”
32. Which fact might surprise people according to the text?
A. Corals come in different colors.
B. Corals are not plants but animals.
C. Corals are sensitive to water temperatures.
D. Coral reefs can protect the coast from storms.
33 What make coral lose its color?
A. The failure to raise them.
B. Too much sunshine.
C. The polluted sea water.
D. The loss of algae friends.
34. What does the underlined word “transplant” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Remove. B. Admire.
C. Export. D. Exchange.
35. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. Corals are of great use to people.
B. People are trying to prevent corals disappearing.
C. Human activities are affecting the growth of corals.
D. Coral polyps depend on an algae for color and food.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章首先介绍了因为海水温度上升珊瑚正在大量消失的现状,然后讲述了科学家们如何想办法解决这一问题。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although it may be hard to believe, corals are not plants, but animals.(尽管很难相信,但珊瑚不是植物,而是动物)”可知,珊瑚不是植物,而是动物这个事实会让人们感到惊讶。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The coral polyps give the algae a home and then the algae provide the polyps with their bright color and food.(珊瑚虫给海藻提供了一个家,然后海藻为珊瑚虫提供了鲜艳的颜色和食物)”以及第三段“But the rising water temperatures are causing the coral polyps to lose their algae friends. As a result, the corals are not only losing their food source but also their beautiful colors.(但不断上升的水温导致珊瑚虫失去了它们的海藻朋友。结果,珊瑚不仅失去了食物来源,还失去了美丽的颜色)”可知,珊瑚美丽的颜色是海藻赋予它们的,所以海藻的流失使珊瑚失去了颜色。故选D项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词前文“They began by selecting certain coral species that seems to have got used to the changing ocean conditions. Then they made them even more adaptable to warmer water.(他们首先选择了一些似乎已经适应了不断变化的海洋环境的珊瑚物种。然后他们让它们更能适应温暖的海水)”说明科学家们在培育适应性强的珊瑚,从而推知划线词句“Once ready, the researchers plan to transplant the coral into Hawaii’s Kaneohe Bay.( 一旦准备好,研究人员计划将珊瑚transplant到夏威夷的Kaneohe湾)”其中划线词应为“移植”的意思,与A项中remove“移动”同义。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Rising water temperatures and the increasing levels of carbon dioxide in our oceans are killing our beautiful coral reefs at a surprising speed. Add the current extreme weather pattern, and things look even worse.(海水温度的上升和海洋中二氧化碳含量的增加正在以惊人的速度杀死我们美丽的珊瑚礁。加上目前的极端天气模式,情况看起来更糟)”和第五段“To prevent these important animals from disappearing, a team of researchers are attempting to raise ‘super’ corals.(为了防止这些重要的动物消失,一组研究人员正试图培育‘超级’珊瑚)”以及全文可知,文章首先介绍了珊瑚正在大量消失的现状,然后讲述了科学家们如何想办法解决这一问题。B项“人们正在努力防止珊瑚消失”符合题意,概括主旨大意。故选B项。
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。
Slash(斜杠)Careers
What is your job? Are you a teacher or a businessperson? Or maybe you are a lawyer/writer or a teacher/photographer.____36____The term “slash career” comes from the punctuation mark(标识符)—a slash that comes between job titles.
People with slash careers often have a primary job that provides for most of their needs. The primary job usually comes before the slash.____37____This secondary job can help supplement the person’s income.
Why would anyone want more than one job? Some people look to their jobs for opportunities to develop their interests. But most people have too many interests for one job. Secondary jobs can be enjoyable if they include interests that the primary job doesn’t touch. Some people who encourage slash careers say they actually help with work-life balance.____38____

【答案】36. D 37. F 38. G 39. C 40. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了斜杠职业是什么及其优缺点。
【36题详解】
由下一句“The term “slash career” comes from the punctuation mark(标识符)—a slash that comes between job titles.”(“斜杠职业”一词来源于标点符号——一种介于多种工作之间的斜杠。)可知,下文提及“斜杠职业”一词,并对其进行了解释说明,可得出该空填写内容应该与引出“斜杠职业”是什么的信息有关,承接下文,D选项“如果你有一份以上的工作,你就是斜杠职业一族。”切题。故选D项。
【37题详解】
由上两句“People with slash careers often have a primary job that provides for most of their needs. The primary job usually comes before the slash.”(有斜杠职业的人通常有一份能满足他们大部分需求的主要工作。主要工作通常在斜杠职业之前。),下一句“This secondary job can help supplement the person’s income.”(第二份工作有助于补充个人收入。)和第三段关于“工作的兴趣爱好”内容可知,主要工作通常在斜杠职业之前,下文就提到了作为斜杠职业的第二份工作,主要工作是赚钱来满足基本生存需求,那么斜杠职业应多与人的兴趣爱好相关,承接上下文,F选项“斜杠后的工作通常是基于一个人的兴趣。”切题;该选项中的“The job after the slash”对应上文的“The primary job usually comes before the slash”。故选F项。
【38题详解】
由上两句“Secondary jobs can be enjoyable if they include interests that the primary job doesn’t touch. Some people who encourage slash careers say they actually help with work-life balance.”(如果第二份工作包含了第一份工作所没有的兴趣,那么它就是一种享受。一些鼓励斜杠职业的人说,这实际上有助于平衡工作与生活。)可知,上文说到第二份工作可以提供第一份工作所没有的兴趣,又说它有助于平衡工作与生活,所以后面解释人们选择斜杠职业的原因,第二份工作给予人们表达自我的机会,即符合人们的兴趣所在,才选择斜杠职业,承接上文,G选项“那是因为他们能给人们一个表达自己的机会。”切题。故选G项。
【39题详解】
由上一句“On the other hand, a slash career can be dangerous for work-life balance.”(另一方面,斜杠职业可能对工作与生活的平衡造成危险。)和下一句“One might give up necessary things like relaxation, exercise or time with one’s family.”(一个人可能会放弃必要的事情,如放松、锻炼或与家人在一起的时间。)可知,本段讲斜杠职业的缺点,斜杠职业会让人放弃必要的事情,如放松、锻炼或与家人在一起的时间,即斜杠职业(多做一份工作)会占用时间,承接上下文,C选项“做一份以上的工作可以填满你所有的时间。”切题。故选C项。
【40题详解】
由下两句“With a slash career, losing one’s job does not mean losing one’s entire income. Or a secondary job may be so successful that it can turn into one’s primary job.”(有了斜杠职业,失去工作并不意味着失去全部收入。或者第二份工作可能是如此成功,以至于它可以变成一个人的主要工作。)可知,下文全在讲斜杠职业的好处,可得出该空填写内容应与斜杠职业的优点相关,承接下文,B选项“斜杠职业也能使一个人的生活更加稳定。”切题。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了当今由于小红书、哔哩哔哩和抖音的蓬勃发展,汉服文化的发展也发生了很多变化,呈现出多种形式。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如今,人们穿着汉服,这一汉族的传统服装,已经成为公园和景点的常见景象。根据所给句子分析可知,此处表示泛指“一种常见的景象”,应用不定冠词,common是以辅音音素开头的词,因此需要使用不定冠词a。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:汉服文化的发展近年来发生了许多变化,呈现出多种形式。根据所给句子中“in recent years”可知,此处谓语表达动作从过去持续到现在,需使用现在完成时,主语the development是单数意义,因此谓语需要使用单数。故填has witnessed。
【58题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:由于小红书、哔哩哔哩和抖音的蓬勃发展,粉丝们现在可以很容易地在网上了解汉服的最新趋势和知识。根据所给句子分析可知,此处需要使用形容词修饰trends,结合句意,此处表达了解“最新的”趋势,因此需要使用形容词的最高级形式。故填latest。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:在过去,人们习惯于私下收藏或欣赏汉服,许多人误解“汉”指的是汉朝。根据所给句子分析可知,需要使用副词作状语修饰谓语,private的副词形式为“privately”意为“私下里”。故填privately。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:句意:在过去,人们习惯于私下收藏或欣赏汉服,许多人误解“汉”指的是汉朝。根据所给句子分析可知,此处需要使用介词to构成固定短语“refer to”意为“指……”。故填to。

考查非谓语动词。句意然而,现在它已经进入了大众市场,更多的人能够区分不同朝代汉服的差异。根据所给句子分析可知,此处需要使用不定式与be able搭配构成短语“be able to do sth.(能够去做某事)”。故填to distinguish。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:例如,今年4月,中国丝绸博物馆举办的汉服节提供了许多有趣的活动,如讲座、仪式、音乐会和博览会,为粉丝们提供了交流的平台。根据所给句子分析可知,此处是限定性定语从句,先行词为“the hanfu festival”,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,因此需要使用关系代词which或that。故填which或that。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:许多汉服店如雨后春笋般涌现,提供租赁和摄影服务。根据所给句子分析可知,此处需要使用非谓语动词作状语,非谓语动词与逻辑主语hanfu stores之间是主动关系,且与谓语同时发生,因此需要使用现在分词形式。故填providing。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在一些集市上,原始设计的汉服会被展示和出售。根据所给句子分析可知,此处需要非谓语动词作前置定语,修饰名词hanfu,design与hanfu是被动关系,因此需要使用过去分词。故填designed。

考查名词复数。句意:有时汉服甚至被作为比赛的奖品。根据所给句子分析可知,此处需要使用名词作provide的宾语,结合句意可知,此处表达汉服作为“奖品”,且表示复数概念,因此需要使用名词复数形式。故填prizes。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“I wish my mother had a ring like those the ladies wear at the hotel,” said Hiram Green to himself one day. Hiram was the son of a fisherman, but the fisherman had died when Hiram was a little boy. Hiram’s mother took on sewing work to earn money to support herself and her son. He helped her when he could re out of school hours, and during vacation time. He had two uncles who had taught him how to catch shrimps. With the money he earned by selling them he could buy things for his own use or pleasure. He had a “bank” almost full of what he called his “shrimp money.”
The sight of the flashing diamonds on the hands of some of the summer visitors at the fishing village in which he lived had added a new article to the list of beautiful things his mother would own someday. He had heard that just one single diamond was sometimes worth five hundred dollars or more. This had discouraged him very much.
But one day, he happened to pass a shop in the neighboring town and saw a number of diamond rings displayed in the window. He stopped fascinated, and pressed his face against the glass eagerly to see if any prices were marked upon them. Imagine his surprise when he saw upon the largest one a tag marked $4.75. He looked again to see if he had made a mistake. Perhaps it was $475. But no, he knew enough about figures to see that he was right the first time.
He went home as fast as he could, and ran up into his bedroom. Then, he opened his “bank” and counted its contents. “Three dollars and twenty-two cents!” he cried. “I’ll have that ring before another week.” Hiram worked early and late for the next few days. He caught more shrimps than he had ever caught in the same length of time, and sold them readily.
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。
At the end of the week he had the sum he desired.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Years after, Hiram learned what he had bought was in fact only glass, and he decided to tell his mother.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 At the end of the week he had the sum he desired. Hurrying to the shop where he had seen the ring, before going inside he gave one swift, almost frightened look into the window. Could it be gone? No, there it was flashing and shining as before. That evening, he placed it on his mother’s finger. She looked at it in surprise. “It is yours, Mother,” he cried, proudly. “I bought it with my shrimp money.” “My dear boy,” said his mother, while something as bright as the shining stone flashed in her eyes, “not one of those ladies can value their rings as I shall value mine.”
Years afterwards Hiram learned that what he had thought was a diamond was only a bit of glass. “Did you know it then, Mother?” he asked. His mother nodded. “And you never told me.” “It was brighter to me than any real diamond,” she said. “The brightness I saw flashing in it was the unselfish love of my boy.” Indeed, nothing in the world is more precious than a sincere heart.
【解析】
【导语】本文以时间为线索展开,讲述了小男孩Hiram Green想要给母亲买一个钻石戒指,但是这太贵了。有一天他突然发现在一家店里的一个钻石戒指只要4.75美元。他很激动,在一周后攒够了钱,买下了戒指送给母亲。母亲很珍惜。多年以后他才知道那只是一个玻璃,但母亲说这世上没有比这更珍贵的了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①.由第一段首句内容“到周末,他得到了他想要的那笔钱。”可知,第一段可描写Hiram Green去买下了那个戒指送给了母亲。
②.由第二段首句内容“多年以后,Hiram才知道他原来以为是钻石的东西其实只是一小块玻璃。”可知,第二段可描写Hiram询问母亲是否知道,母亲说虽然是玻璃,但这世上没有比这更珍贵的了。

A
When it comes to choosing where to go for a vacation, what we’re going to eat and drink can be a big part of making travel plans.
Of course, it’s subjective according to personal tastes, but this is TV Travel’s take on some of the best food cultures and destinations around the world.
So, as you dream about where you’ll go next, which top 10 cuisines rule?
American Food
Many of the popular foods in the USA originate in some other cuisine. The pizza slice is Italian. Fries are Belgian or Dutch. Hamburgers and frankfurters? Likely German. But in the kitchens of the United States, they have been improved and added to-becoming global icons for food lovers everywhere.
Chinese Food
The people who greet each other with “Have you eaten yet?” are arguably the most food-obsessed in the world. But the Chinese don’t just cook and sell anything; they also make it taste great.
China’s regional cuisines are so different and it’s hard to believe they’re from the same nation. It’s not a food culture you can easily summarize except to say you’ll certainly want to taste.
French Food
If you’re one of those people who don’t like to eat because “there’s more to life than food,” then visit Paris. It’s a city known for its picky consumers, but they all believe in the importance of good food. Two-hour lunch breaks for three-course meals are common.
Italian Food
Italian food has been popular around the world for centuries, with its tasty tomato sauces, those clever things they do with wheat flour and desserts that are basically vehicles for cream.
It’s all so simple. Get some noodles, get some olive oil, and get some garlic, maybe a tomato or a slice of bacon. Bam! You have a party on a plate. And it is all so easy to cook and eat.
From the cheesy risottos to the crisp fried meats, Italian cuisine is a collection of crowd-pleasing comfort food. Many people have welcomed it into their homes, especially green hand cooks. There lies the real genius-Italian food has become everyman’s food.
21. Which food mainly comes from other cultures?
A. American food B. Chinese Food
C. French Food D. Italian Food
22. In which country are the foods very different from each other?
A. In USA B. In China C. In France D. In Italy
23. Who likes Italian food best?
A. Housewives B. Chefs C. Foreigners D. New cooks
B
When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart in a way that set him apart from his schoolmates at his elementary school, P. S. 81, in the Bronx. “He told me we drove too much and made too much pollution,” his dad, Jonathan Cane, told Runner’s World. So Simon convinced his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures.
“For much of kindergarten and first grade I rode my bike to Simon’s school with him on the back,” Jonathan said. “We had a lot of fun being outdoors. We’d stop to give our dog treats and generally enjoyed it.” As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together — both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1. 5 miles to school.
But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1. 5 miles to P. S. 81. And Jonathan promised his son he’d join him for as long as he wanted.
“We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a go. To be honest, I thought he’d blink (眨眼)after it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,” Jonathan said. He recalled one day when the weather was particularly bad. “It’s really raining out there today,” he told Simon. “And Simon said, ‘Well then we’re going to get wet!’ He took pride in toughing it out, and it became a really fun family routine.”
Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that runs to school”.
24. What makes Simon different from his classmates?
A. Washing his clothes by himself. B. Taking many classes after school.
C. Raising strange questions in class. D. Taking green measures to protect the environment.
25. How did Simon usually go to school in second grade?
A By car. B. By cycling. C. By running. D. By school bus.
26. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Simon has trouble with his eyesight. B. Simon is really stubborn and inflexible.
C. Simon is much tougher than expected. D. Simon didn’t get support from his father.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Best Way to Go to School
B. Father and Son Run for the Environment
C. A Teenager Keeps Running to Inspire Father
D. Three Inspiring Running Athletes to Protect the Environment
C
Ten originated in China over two thousand years ago. Today, the country owns over 2,000 varieties of tea, differing in taste, sweet and purpose. Some teas, such as Huang Shan, refresh the sense of taste with their special flavour, while others, such as spicy chai, are added with spices (香料).
China first started exporting tea during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), and the drink has since come to lead humanity's drinking habits far beyond Asia. It is the most widely consumed drink on Earth today, aside from water and coffee.
In Chinese mythology, tea was first discovered by Chinese Emperor Shennong (“Divine Farmer”) in 737 BC, when a soft wind carried some leaves into a pot of boiling water. However, the oldest dependable evidence comes from ancient plant remains found in 2016 in Xi'an and western Xizang, showing that tea was grown at least 2,100 years ago during the Western Han dynasty when it was most likely used as medicine.
Generation after generation of tea makers experimented with different brewing (冲泡) techniques, leaves, and ceremonies, resulting in today’s tea culture full of life. There’s no doubt that China’s tea culture has become one of the most popular, diverse, and unique traditions in the world.
China is already the world’s largest tea exporter. The inclusion of the country’s traditional tea-making process on the UNESCO list will obviously generate practical benefits for tea makers in the country and across the world as more resources are given to protect and preserve such millennia-old tea culture and technical practices. As additional attention is brought to this traditional technique, the Chinese tea sector will further tap its potential and improve its growth.
As one of China’s oldest cultural practices, traditional tea processing techniques show the spirit of modesty (谦逊), peace, and comity (礼让). No matter your preference for green or dark tea, with milk or without, Chinese tea isn’t just brews. Instead, it is a bridge connecting different cultures and peoples.
28. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Chinese tea has a fresh taste. B. Chinese tea has a rich variety.
C. Chinese tea has a long history. D. Chinese tea is added with spices.
29. How does the author find about Chinese tea?
A. Hopeful. B. Objective. C. Careless. D. Disapproving.
30. What is the best title for the text?
A. Chinese Tea Benefits the Globe a Lot
B. Chinese Protect and Develop Its Tea Culture
C. Chinese Tea Is Included in the UNESCO List
D. China Plays a Vital Part in Cultural Diversity
31. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. A book review.
C. A culture magazine. D. A science fiction.

Rising water temperatures and the increasing levels of carbon dioxide in our oceans are killing our beautiful coral reefs at a surprising speed. Add the current extreme weather pattern, and things look even worse.
So what makes coral so sensitive? Although it may be hard to believe, corals are not plants, but animals. The colorful reefs we admire so much happen to be skeletons(骨骼) given up by hundreds of thousands of polyps(珊瑚虫). To survive, these animals live with an algae(海藻). The coral polyps give the algae a home and then the algae provide the polyps with their bright color and food.
But the rising water temperatures are causing the coral polyps to lose their algae friends. As a result, the corals are not only losing their food source but also their beautiful colors.
The disappearance of the coral not only makes humans lose the chance to admire the beautiful coral reefs. It also removes a natural barrier which protects shorelines from storms and also fewer living places for fish and other sea animals.
To prevent these important animals from disappearing, a team of researchers are attempting to raise ‘super’ corals.
They began by selecting certain coral species that seems to have got used to the changing ocean conditions. Then they made them even more adaptable to warmer water. Once ready, the researchers plan to transplant the coral into Hawaii’s Kaneohe Bay.
This sounds simple, but they are not sure that it will work because coral is sensitive to touch and also develops very slowly and infrequently. Also, past attempts to remove coral have failed because they were either eaten by fish or died of disease.
Though there exist these dangers, researchers believe there’s no other choice to prevent the reefs from disappearing. Tom Oliver, a scientist says, “The question is not ‘can they do it?’, but ‘can they do it fast enough?’”
32. Which fact might surprise people according to the text?
A. Corals come in different colors.
B. Corals are not plants but animals.
C. Corals are sensitive to water temperatures.
D. Coral reefs can protect the coast from storms.
33. What make coral lose its color?
A. The failure to raise them.
B. Too much sunshine.
C. The polluted sea water.
D. The loss of algae friends.
34. What does the underlined word “transplant” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Remove. B. Admire.
C. Export. D. Exchange.
35. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. Corals are of great use to people.
B. People are trying to prevent corals disappearing.
C. Human activities are affecting the growth of corals.
D. Coral polyps depend on an algae for color and food.

The clear advantage to slash careers is the extra income that secondary jobs provide. It’s always helpful to have a little extra money to spend or to save.
____40____With a slash career, losing one’s job does not mean losing one’s entire income. Or a secondary job may be so successful that it can turn into one’s primary job.

“I wish my mother had a ring like those the ladies wear at the hotel,” said Hiram Green to himself one day. Hiram was the son of a fisherman, but the fisherman had died when Hiram was a little boy. Hiram’s mother took on sewing work to earn money to support herself and her son. He helped her when he could re out of school hours, and during vacation time. He had two uncles who had taught him how to catch shrimps. With the money he earned by selling them he could buy things for his own use or pleasure. He had a “bank” almost full of what he called his “shrimp money.”
The sight of the flashing diamonds on the hands of some of the summer visitors at the fishing village in which he lived had added a new article to the list of beautiful things his mother would own someday. He had heard that just one single diamond was sometimes worth five hundred dollars or more. This had discouraged him very much.
But one day, he happened to pass a shop in the neighboring town and saw a number of diamond rings displayed in the window. He stopped fascinated, and pressed his face against the glass eagerly to see if any prices were marked upon them. Imagine his surprise when he saw upon the largest one a tag marked $4.75. He looked again to see if he had made a mistake. Perhaps it was $475. But no, he knew enough about figures to see that he was right the first time.
He went home as fast as he could, and ran up into his bedroom. Then, he opened his “bank” and counted its contents. “Three dollars and twenty-two cents!” he cried. “I’ll have that ring before another week.” Hiram worked early and late for the next few days. He caught more shrimps than he had ever caught in the same length of time, and sold them readily.
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。
At the end of the week he had the sum he desired.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Years after, Hiram learned what he had bought was in fact only glass, and he decided to tell his mother.
