Check out the full guide to the best UK holiday parks below and it will give you a helping hand. Yorkshire: Thornwick Bay Holiday Park Activities include Segway rides, football and an all-weather Activity Barn that’s sure to be a hit (受欢迎的事物) with the kids, and the heated indoor pool with water slides never fails to be a hit either. How much? Each night break starts from ￡179.55 for the whole family, based on a trip in July. Dorset: Warmwell Holiday Park Want a trip to the slopes (斜坡)? This award-winning resort near Weymouth has its own dry ski slope, and you’ll find skiing lessons, snowboarding as well as an indoor pool with a flume (水滑道) and a wave machine. How much? Two-night break starts from ￡329 based on a trip in July. Porthcawl: Trecco Bay Holiday Park Kids will love the outdoor wet play area at Parkdean Resorts’ Trecco Bay Holiday Park. On-site attractions include an indoor pool with the pirate ship, adventure golf and a kids’ play area. In the evening there are discos and bingo. How much? Three to four night breaks start from ￡305 based on a trip in July. Hampshire: Sandy Balls Holiday Park On the edge of the New Forest, this family-owned park allows you to get close to nature, with cycle trails, horse-riding, and then welcomes you back into the warmth with a pizza restaurant, indoor play facilities, including a pool plus a spa. How much? Camping tents usually start from ￡40 each night in August. 1. Which park might attract the family who enjoy music? A. Porthcawl: Trecco Bay Holiday Park. B. Hampshire: Sandy Balls Holiday Park. C. Yorkshire: Thornwick Bay Holiday Park. D. Dorset: Warmwell Holiday Park. 2. How much will your family spend at least travelling for a week in July? A. ￡379.55. B. ￡610. C. ￡329. D. ￡280. 3. What activity might the four holiday parks have in common? A. Skiing. B. Playing football. C. Horse-riding. D. Swimming. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章讲述了英国最好的、适合一家人去度假的假日公园及其旅游指南。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三部分Porthcawl: Trecco Bay Holiday Park中“In the evening there are discos and bingo.(晚上会有迪斯科舞会和宾戈游戏)”可知，Porthcawl: Trecco Bay Holiday Park也许能吸引喜欢音乐的家庭。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。题干意为：你家7月旅行一周至少要花多少钱？此题可以采用定位法来选择答案。首先定位题干中两个关键词，一是7月，可排除 Hampshire: Sandy Balls Holiday Park，因为它是8月的价格。二是时间一周，根据一周七天可知，￡179.55乘以7等于￡1,256.85；￡329乘以3.5等于￡1,151.5；￡305乘以2等于￡610。由此可知，7月旅行一周至少要花610英镑。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一部分Yorkshire: Thornwick Bay Holiday Park中“the heated indoor pool with water slides never fails to be a hit either.(加热的室内游泳池和水滑梯也总是很受欢迎)”；以及第二部分Dorset: Warmwell Holiday Park中“an indoor pool with a flume(带水滑道的室内游泳池)”；以及第三部分Porthcawl: Trecco Bay Holiday Park中“an indoor pool with the pirate ship(有海盗船的室内游泳池)”以及第四部分Hampshire: Sandy Balls Holiday Park中“including a pool plus a spa(包括游泳池和水疗中心)”可知，尽管这四个公园各有特色项目，但是它们都有室内游泳池。由此推知，游泳是这四个公园共同的活动。故选D。 B It can take an entire village to grow a new-age garden. That’s what 42-year-old Shyju Machathi, a policeman living in Kannapuram in the Southern Indian state of Kerala, found out when his town was declared an “Indigenous Mango Heritage Area” by the Kerala State Biodiversity Board in 2020. The honour came after the villagers had got together to grow over 200 native species of mangoes, sourced from surrounding towns and villages, preserving diverse varieties that were in danger of dying out. The technique that made it possible, Machathi says, is the age-old art of grafting (嫁接). He started experimenting with the technique in July, 2016, despite no formal training in farming, after an unfortunate incident shook the town of Kannapuram. A neighbour had cut down a 200-year-old mango tree known locally as Vellathan, which grew in his home. “The tree produced the sweetest mangoes I’ve ever tasted,” says Machathi. “It was beautiful, a native variety that was very rare.” But it was also undeniably old. Parts of the large tree would come crashing to the ground, making it so perilous that the neighbour decided that it needed to be cut down for his peace of mind. Staring at the wasted branches the next morning, Machathi felt a deep sense of loss. “The tree was so much a part of our growing years and the landscape of our lives that we were all just shocked over losing it overnight,” says Machathi. Then he reached out to a friend who was working as an agricultural officer. There was a way to save the tree, his friend said. If they could graft parts of the tree onto a growing mango plant with a strong root, they could regenerate the old tree and one day, taste its exquisite fruit again. “We then grafted 50 parts of that old tree onto strong rootstock (根茎) and managed to prevent it from dying out entirely,” says Machathi. “All of those trees are still alive — it felt like we’d saved rare treasure.” 4. What made the town of Kannapuram honoured in 2020? A. Owning more gardens than other towns. B. Stopping a rare mango tree from dying. C. Developing a new grafting technique. D. Preserving native mango species. 5. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Valueless. B. Risky. C. Thick. D. Disease. 6. What did the old mango tree mean to Machathi? A. It brought him inner peace. B. It witnessed his childhood. C. It made his home beautiful. D. It saved him from starving. 7. Which words can best describe Machathi? A. Friendly and courageous. B. Helpful and experienced. C. Resourceful and determined. D. Proud and independent. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了印度喀拉拉邦坎纳普拉姆镇的警察Shyju Machathi，因邻居砍倒200年树龄的稀有芒果树而萌生保护本土芒果品种的想法，通过嫁接技术联合村民培育200多种原生芒果，最终让小镇获评“本土芒果遗产区”的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The honour came after the villagers had got together to grow over 200 native species of mangoes, sourced from surrounding towns and villages, preserving diverse varieties that were in danger of dying out (这份荣誉源于村民们齐心协力，种植了从周边村镇收集的200多种本土芒果品种，保护了那些濒临灭绝的多样品种)”可知，小镇获得荣誉的原因是保护本土芒果品种。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Parts of the large tree would come crashing to the ground, making it so perilous that the neighbour decided that it needed to be cut down for his peace of mind (这棵大树的部分枝干会突然砸落到地上，情况变得如此“perilous”，以至于邻居为了安心，决定必须砍掉它)“可知，“枝干掉落”是危险情况，故“perilous”意为“有风险的”。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The tree was so much a part of our growing years and the landscape of our lives that we were all just shocked over losing it overnight (这棵树是我们成长岁月中如此重要的一部分，也是我们生活场景的一部分，以至于我们都对一夜之间失去它感到震惊)”可知，老芒果树见证了Machathi的童年（成长岁月）。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“despite no formal training in farming (尽管没有接受过正式的农业培训)“以及第五段“Then he reached out to a friend who was working as an agricultural officer.(随后，他联系了一位任职于农业部门的官员朋友)”可知，尽管没有接受过正式的农业培训，他主动联系农业官员朋友寻求方法，体现“足智多谋”；根据最后一段““We then grafted 50 parts of that old tree onto strong rootstock (根茎) and managed to prevent it from dying out entirely,” says Machathi.(Machathi表示：“随后，我们将那棵老树的50个枝条嫁接到强健的根茎上，成功阻止了这个品种彻底灭绝”)”可知，后续他成功嫁接50个树枝、带动村民保护 200 多种芒果，体现他“有决心”。故选C。 C My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today’s grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel — grandparents taking fun-filled vacations with grand kids without their parents along. A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire. Skip-gen travel gets popular for good reason. Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms. This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas. “How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them. Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,” Annie Collins, a travel architect and also part of the trend, says. “Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves. It’s not just kids gaining from traveling. Who gets the most out of this? You might think it’s them but it’s us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic, grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers（同龄人）. It’s also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel. Unlike their children, who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off, grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life, prioritizing experiences and family. So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves — some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries. However, skip-gen travel is not for every grandparent. After all, grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic. They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it’s wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved. 8. Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad? A. To lead in the trend of skip-gen travel. B. To share the pleasure in going fishing. C. To stress the importance of family ties. D. To show the growing interest in adventure. 9. Which of the following may Annie Collins agree? A. Many parents are too strict with children. B. Grandparents benefit more from skip-gen travel. C Spending time with grandparents is better for kids. D. Children become mature when away from parents. 10. What do we know about the parents whose kids are on skip-gen travel? A. They enjoy the moment to relax. B. They feel less anxious and stressed. C. They miss their kids very much. D. They look forward to their own trip. 11. What does the author suggest grandparents do? A. Get kids involved in travel planning. B. Strengthen the bond with grandchildren. C. Reduce skip-gen travel appropriately. D. Make decisions in both sides’ interests. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。随着越来越多祖父母冒险意识的增强，跨代旅游开始流行起来。研究发现，跨代旅游对祖父母、父母以及孩子均大有裨益。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today's grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel（我小的时候，爷爷经常帮我做一个捕鱼的工具，我们会在河边呆上几个小时。那时候对我们俩来说都很美好。如今，越来越多的祖父母有了一种越来越强烈的冒险意识。一种趋势正在兴起：跨代旅行）”可知，作者提到自己小时候与爷爷一起抓鱼的经历是为了引出如今祖父母辈与孙辈之间新的相处模式，即跨代旅游。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children（事实上，我觉得我和我的孙辈比我和我自己的孩子更平等）”以及“It’s not just kids gaining from traveling.Who gets the most out of this? You might think it's them but it's us（这不仅仅是孩子们从旅行中获得的。谁能从中获益最多？你可能认为是他们，但其实是我们）”可以推断出，身为祖母和跨代旅游的实践者，Annie Collins认为祖父母辈从跨代旅游中受益更多。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves- some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries（所以知道孩子们被照顾得很好，父母们就会有一些属于他们自己的时间——一些他们急需的闲暇时间来休息和充电）”可知，当孩子与祖父母外出旅游时，父母也能拥有自己的休闲时间，用来放松和休整。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it's wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved（他们肯定会珍惜这个与孙辈建立亲密关系的机会，但当只有年轻人可以享受时，明智的做法是说不，因为这趟旅行对参与其中的每个人都应该是一个胜利）”可知，作者认为跨代旅游应该是一件双赢的事，只有对祖父母和孩子都有利时才应进行，由此可知，作者建议祖父母做有利于双方利益的决定。故选D。 D A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity, these simple robotic creations would be ordinary, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living organism: a king oyster mushroom. By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the fungus (真菌) and its sensitivity to light. The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid (生物混合的) robotics which seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with synthetic components to make partly living and partly engineered robots. Biohybrid robots have yet to go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day they may explore oceans or search for survivors after an earthquake. “Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Robert Shepherd, a professor at Cornell University who leads the Organic Robotics Lab. Fungi can be cultivated in large quantities and thrive in many different environments. Fungi may have advantages over other biohybrid approaches in terms of the conditions required to keep them alive. This could make them an excellent candidate for biohybrid robots for applications in agriculture and marine exploration. The lab has produced more than 30 sensing and computing devices using live fungi. However, some experts show their concerns that if biohybrid robots become more complex and are applied in the ocean or other ecosystems, it could disturb the habitats, challenging the traditional distinction between life and machine. Currently, this research hasn’t raised ethical questions, but if it continues to develop, it’s vital to consider the consequences of releasing them in the open. 12. What can we learn about biohybrid robots from the first two paragraphs? A. They are controlled by human cells. B. They are applied to rescue operations. C. They may be sensitive to electrical signals. D. They may have many practical applications. 13. Why are fungi used for biohybrid robots? A. They are in large numbers. B. They respond to the environment quickly. C. They are readily available. D. They can survive in different environments. 14. What is the potential problem with biohybrid robots? A. Damaging ecosystems. B. Confusing humans with machines. C. Losing control. D. Replacing humans on certain jobs. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To warn about the risks of biohybrid robots. B. To present the concept of biohybrid robots. C. To introduce the new development of robots. D. To question the benefits of engineered robots 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种由真菌控制的生物混合机器人的新发展，包括其原理、潜在应用和可能存在的问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Biohybrid robots have yet to go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day they may explore oceans or search for survivors after an earthquake. (生物混合机器人尚未走出实验室，但研究人员希望有一天它们能探索海洋或在地震后搜寻幸存者)”可推知，这种机器人未来可能有许多实际的应用。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Fungi can be cultivated in large quantities and thrive in many different environments. Fungi may have advantages over other biohybrid approaches in terms of the conditions required to keep them alive. This could make them an excellent candidate for biohybrid robots for applications in agriculture and marine exploration.(真菌可以大量种植，并在许多不同的环境中茁壮成长。就维持真菌存活所需的条件而言，真菌可能比其他生物杂交方法有优势。这可能使它们成为应用于农业和海洋勘探的生物混合机器人的绝佳候选者。)”可知，真菌被用于生物混合机器人是因为它们能在不同环境中生存。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“However, some experts show their concerns that if biohybrid robots become more complex and are applied in the ocean or other ecosystems, it could disturb the habitats, challenging the traditional distinction between life and machine.(然而，一些专家担心，如果生物混合机器人变得更加复杂，并应用于海洋或其他生态系统，它可能会扰乱栖息地，挑战生命和机器之间的传统区别。)”可知，生物混合机器人潜在的问题是可能破坏生态系统。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“By growing the mushroom’s mycelium into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the fungus and its sensitivity to light. The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics which seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with synthetic components to make partly living and partly engineered robots. Biohybrid robots have yet to go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day they may explore oceans or search for survivors after an earthquake.(通过将蘑菇的菌丝体植入机器人的硬件中，康奈尔大学的研究人员领导的一个团队设计出了两种类型的机器人，它们通过真菌发出的电信号及其对光的敏感性来感知和响应环境。这些机器人是科学家在生物混合机器人领域取得的最新成就，该领域寻求将生物、如植物、动物细胞或昆虫这样的生物材料与合成成分结合起来，制造部分有生命、部分工程的机器人。生物混合机器人还没有走出实验室，但研究人员希望有一天它们可以探索海洋或在地震后搜寻幸存者。)”推知，文章的主要目的是介绍机器人领域的新发展。故选C。 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。 Making eye contact isn’t always easy.

When you share eye contact during a conversation, you’ll remember more of what the other person said. The reverse (相反的情况) is true as well. ____17____ Research found that during a video call, participants remembered more of the information from the call when there was more eye contact included. ____18____ The researchers found that a direct gaze for 30% of the conversation is all it takes for participants to significantly increase what they remembered from the call. ____19____ Being self-aware means that you are aware of what’s currently happening with your body. And eye contact can help with that, according lo research from the University of Paris. Researchers found that we’re more focused on our own bodies and behavior when other people look at us. Eye contact creates attraction. Eye contact attraction is a real thing. Research showed that humans find other people more attractive when they make eye contact. Smiling can also help create attraction. ____20____ Workmates and leaders will be more inclined (想) to build relationships with you when you look them in the eye. On the other hand, no eye contact can show a lack of confidence. A. So how to make eye contact naturally? B. Eye contact can help with self-awareness. C. But why is eye contact important in the first place? D. Other people will also remember more of what you said. E. This is why eye contact plays a huge role in learning and discussing. F. While this is important for personal relationships, it also matters at work. G. And, people don’t even need a huge amount of eye contact to get this benefit. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了眼神交流在日常交际和工作中的重要性。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Making eye contact isn’t always easy. It can feel uncomfortable at times, especially when you haven’t yet built a relationship with the other person.”（眼神交流并不总是那么容易。有时会感到不舒服，尤其是当你还没有和另一个人建立关系的时候。）讲述了眼神交流在生活中是不容易的。下文“Eye contact helps others remember what you said.”（眼神交流可以帮助别人记住你说的话。）讲述了眼神交流的作用。所以空处应和前文表示转折关系，同时提示下文。选项C“但是为什么眼神交流最重要呢？”符合题意，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据前文“When you share eye contact during a conversation, you’ll remember more of what the other person said. The reverse (相反的情况) is true as well.”（当你们在交谈中进行眼神交流时，你会记得更多对方所说的话。反之亦然。）可知，你与别人眼神交流的同时，可以使双方都能更多的记住对方说的话，所以空处应承接前文，讲述对方也会记住你说的话。选项D“其他人也会记得更多你说过的话。”符合题意，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Research found that during a video call, participants remembered more of the information from the call when there was more eye contact included.”（研究发现，在视频通话中，当有更多的眼神交流时，参与者会记住更多电话中的信息。）提到了视频通话的好处在于会让参与者记住更多电话中的信息。下文“The researchers found that a direct gaze for 30% of the conversation is all it takes for participants to significantly increase what they remembered from the call.”（研究人员发现，30% 的谈话中，参与者只需要直视对方一眼，就能显著提高他们对电话内容的记忆。）通过研究进一步证实了视频通话的好处。所以空处应顺承前文，讲述视频通话的意义。选项G“而且，人们甚至不需要大量的眼神交流就能获得这种好处。”，this benefit指代前文“participants remembered more of the information from the call ”，符合题意，故选G。 【19题详解】 结合第一段最后一句“But why is eye contact important in the first place?”（但是为什么眼神交流最重要呢？）可知，接下来的段落要描述眼神交流的重要性。空处处于段首，作为本段的主题句，意思上应和本文主旨一致，所以应讲述眼神交流的好处。选项B“眼神交流有助于增强自我意识。”逻辑上与第二、第四段的首句句式一致，符合题意，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Research showed that humans find other people more attractive when they make eye contact. Smiling can also help create attraction. ”（研究表明，人们发现与他人眼神接触时更有吸引力。微笑也有助于创造吸引力。）下文“Workmates and leaders will be more inclined (想) to build relationships with you when you look them in the eye. On the other hand, no eye contact can show a lack of confidence.”（当你看着同事和领导的眼睛时，他们会更倾向于和你建立关系。另一方面，没有眼神交流可以表明缺乏自信。）提到了具体到工作中，眼神交流的重要。所以空处可以描述眼神交流在日常交流中是重要的，工作中同样也很重要。选项F“虽然这对人际关系很重要，但在工作中也很重要。”，符合题意，故选F。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Nobel Prize is considered one of the most recognizable and admirable awards possible, ___21___ people of the world for their outstanding achievements in different fields.

Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. 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. We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently and quietly, “No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here”, I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s. I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children, not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers. It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission. Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it! We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名特殊教育教师，在大型越野赛跑那天，发现患有大脑疾病的大卫独自站在一旁。作者问其原因，他说准备放弃比赛。从教练口中得知，因为担心同学们会嘲笑大卫，所以教练想让大卫自己去决定是否参加赛跑。作者让大卫追寻自己的内心，不理会别人的看法，大卫最终参赛，尽管遇到困难，他战胜了自己，这已经无关名次，而是他的勇敢和坚定让这一切成为可能。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们挨着坐着，但大卫不愿看我一眼。”可知，第一段可描写作者鼓励大卫继续完成比赛，大卫经过强烈的心理斗争，最终决定参加比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“我看着大卫和其他选手一起走到起跑线上。”可知，第二段可描写大卫开始参赛，虽然中途遇到困难，仍然坚持到最后，完成比赛。 2.续写线索：鼓励大卫——心理变化——决定参赛——克服困难——加油助威——完成比赛——感悟 3.词汇激活： 行动类： ①深呼吸：with a deep breath/breathe deeply ②坚持做：insisted on doing/be stick to doing 情绪类： ①热情：enthusiastically /with great passion ②骄傲：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1]You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here.

B It can take an entire village to grow a new-age garden. That’s what 42-year-old Shyju Machathi, a policeman living in Kannapuram in the Southern Indian state of Kerala, found out when his town was declared an “Indigenous Mango Heritage Area” by the Kerala State Biodiversity Board in 2020. The honour came after the villagers had got together to grow over 200 native species of mangoes, sourced from surrounding towns and villages, preserving diverse varieties that were in danger of dying out. The technique that made it possible, Machathi says, is the age-old art of grafting (嫁接). He started experimenting with the technique in July, 2016, despite no formal training in farming, after an unfortunate incident shook the town of Kannapuram. A neighbour had cut down a 200-year-old mango tree known locally as Vellathan, which grew in his home. “The tree produced the sweetest mangoes I’ve ever tasted,” says Machathi. “It was beautiful, a native variety that was very rare.” But it was also undeniably old. Parts of the large tree would come crashing to the ground, making it so perilous that the neighbour decided that it needed to be cut down for his peace of mind. Staring at the wasted branches the next morning, Machathi felt a deep sense of loss. “The tree was so much a part of our growing years and the landscape of our lives that we were all just shocked over losing it overnight,” says Machathi. Then he reached out to a friend who was working as an agricultural officer. There was a way to save the tree, his friend said. If they could graft parts of the tree onto a growing mango plant with a strong root, they could regenerate the old tree and one day, taste its exquisite fruit again. “We then grafted 50 parts of that old tree onto strong rootstock (根茎) and managed to prevent it from dying out entirely,” says Machathi. “All of those trees are still alive — it felt like we’d saved rare treasure.” 4. What made the town of Kannapuram honoured in 2020? A. Owning more gardens than other towns. B. Stopping a rare mango tree from dying. C. Developing a new grafting technique. D. Preserving native mango species. 5. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Valueless. B. Risky. C. Thick. D. Disease. 6. What did the old mango tree mean to Machathi? A. It brought him inner peace. B. It witnessed his childhood. C. It made his home beautiful. D. It saved him from starving. 7. Which words can best describe Machathi? A. Friendly and courageous. B. Helpful and experienced. C. Resourceful and determined. D. Proud and independent. C My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today’s grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel — grandparents taking fun-filled vacations with grand kids without their parents along. A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire. Skip-gen travel gets popular for good reason. Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms. This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas. “How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them. Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,” Annie Collins, a travel architect and also part of the trend, says. “Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves. It’s not just kids gaining from traveling. Who gets the most out of this? You might think it’s them but it’s us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic, grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers（同龄人）. It’s also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel. Unlike their children, who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off, grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life, prioritizing experiences and family. So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves — some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries. However, skip-gen travel is not for every grandparent. After all, grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic. They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it’s wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved. 8. Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad? A. To lead in the trend of skip-gen travel. B. To share the pleasure in going fishing. C. To stress the importance of family ties.

D A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity, these simple robotic creations would be ordinary, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living organism: a king oyster mushroom. By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the fungus (真菌) and its sensitivity to light. The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid (生物混合的) robotics which seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with synthetic components to make partly living and partly engineered robots. Biohybrid robots have yet to go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day they may explore oceans or search for survivors after an earthquake. “Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Robert Shepherd, a professor at Cornell University who leads the Organic Robotics Lab. Fungi can be cultivated in large quantities and thrive in many different environments. Fungi may have advantages over other biohybrid approaches in terms of the conditions required to keep them alive. This could make them an excellent candidate for biohybrid robots for applications in agriculture and marine exploration. The lab has produced more than 30 sensing and computing devices using live fungi. However, some experts show their concerns that if biohybrid robots become more complex and are applied in the ocean or other ecosystems, it could disturb the habitats, challenging the traditional distinction between life and machine. Currently, this research hasn’t raised ethical questions, but if it continues to develop, it’s vital to consider the consequences of releasing them in the open. 12. What can we learn about biohybrid robots from the first two paragraphs? A. They are controlled by human cells. B. They are applied to rescue operations. C. They may be sensitive to electrical signals. D. They may have many practical applications. 13. Why are fungi used for biohybrid robots? A. They are in large numbers. B. They respond to the environment quickly. C. They are readily available. D. They can survive in different environments. 14. What is the potential problem with biohybrid robots? A. Damaging ecosystems. B. Confusing humans with machines. C. Losing control. D. Replacing humans on certain jobs. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To warn about the risks of biohybrid robots. B. To present the concept of biohybrid robots. C. To introduce the new development of robots. D. To question the benefits of engineered robots 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。 Making eye contact isn’t always easy.

Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. 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. We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
