China’s taijiquan, or tai chi, was added to the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产) on Dec 17, 2020. Although several years have passed, Chen Bing is still excited about it. He was the first man to show the beauty of tai chi in the international introduction film. On its website, taijiquan is described as “A traditional physical practice with relaxed movements that work together with breathing and help develop a peaceful mind.”
Taijiquan was influenced by ancient ideas of traditional Chinese medicine. It has developed into many schools (宗派) or styles, usually named after a school or a master, such as Yang-style and Chen-style. Chen is one of the inheritors (继承者) of the Chen-style taijiquan. He has been practicing it since he was six years old under the guidance of his uncles, Chen Xiaowang and Chen Xiaoxing, two famous masters of Chen-style taijiquan in Henan Province. “Chen-style taijiquan has the longest history, and other styles directly or indirectly branched out from it,” Chen added.
Public popularity has grown greatly in China in recent years. Chen and 100 other masters have been livestreaming (直播) on video-sharing mobile apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. The livestreaming has attracted more than 400,000 viewers. To make taijiquan more popular, Chen also made a simple video of some of the movements to help people relax at the office. He has made a lot of effort in passing on his taijiquan wisdom during all of his online courses.
“The understanding of taijiquan develops as the practice continues,” Chen explained. “As a teenager, it might be a kind of exercise that strengthens your body and improves your fighting skills. As the experience grows, it becomes easier to enjoy its beauty,” he added. Chen said taijiquan has taught him to stay calm during life’s ups and downs and face the world with an open mind. He has taught more than 400 students, who, in turn, have passed the knowledge on to their students.
44. What do we know about taijiquan according to the passage?
A. It is a traditional Chinese Kungfu mainly used for fighting.
B. It is a kind of physical practice that makes people excited.
C. It helps people achieve a balance between mind and body.
D. It shows the beauty of nature and the wisdom of the Chinese.
45. What does the underlined word “branched out” mean in English?
A. protected B. developed C. prevented D. chose
46. Why does Chen livestream taijiquan online?
A To show off his amazing fighting skills.
B. To strengthen his body and become a master.
C. To attract more viewers to make more money.
D. To spread the exercise to make it more popular.
C
Have you thought of a world where you can control machines with just your thoughts? Scientists are working on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) to make it possible. BCIs are devices (装置) that connect the human brain directly to outside things, such as computers or other machines. They let our brains send messages to the outside machines, and the machines can understand and do what we want. This is like having a superpower where you can think and things happen!
BCIs can be really helpful in medicine. One of the most exciting uses of BCIs is in healthcare. For example, if someone has a stroke (中风) and can’t move his arm, a BCI might help him learn to move it again. People with other brain problems might also get better care because doctors can see what’s going on inside their brains.
In education, BCIs could make learning much easier and more enjoyable. With a BCI, a student with a learning disability can now process information easily. Or you can get lots of help with a subject you’re struggling with by using your brain signals. BCIs could open up new worlds of knowledge for us, helping us to perform tasks that were impossible or highly challenging in the past.
However, there are also some concerns about BCIs. Some people are worried about privacy (隐私) as we must carefully consider who can see our thoughts and feelings. There are also concerns about the risk that someone could use BCIs to hurt or control other people. We need to make sure the technologies are used in a good and fair way.
Even with these challenges, BCIs are really exciting. They could change how we live and learn in ways we can’t even imagine yet. As we move forward, it’s important to think carefully about how we use BCIs and make sure they’re safe and helpful for everyone.
47. What are BCIs created for by scientists according to the passage?
A. Stopping outside machines from controlling our brains.
B. Making outside machines do what people want.
C. Allowing computers to make better decisions for people.
D. Helping common people get superpower to control others.
48. Which of the following can BCIs do according to the passage?
A. They can cure most brain diseases without doctors.
B. They can help patients fix new arms after a stroke.
C. They can provide better education for people in need.
D. They can offer learners help by recommending teachers.
49. What does the underlined word “concerns” mean?
A. Research. B. Worries. C. Suggestions. D. Dreams.
50. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) to BCIs in general?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeless. D. Supportive.
五、还原信息(共4小题;每小题1.5分,满分6分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

When we’re feeling down or stressed out from school, music can be of great help to us. Just putting on our headphones and listening to our favorite music can make us feel better in no time. ____52____ It takes away worries and offers a peaceful escape from our daily life.
But music does more than just make us feel good. It can also help us learn better. Have you ever noticed that listening to music while studying can make it easier to remember what you’re reading or learning? ____53____ As a result, we can get new information and knowledge more easily.
There’s one more special thing that music can do. It gives us a voice. When we make up our own music, whether it’s singing or playing an instrument, we’re able to express ourselves in a way that words sometimes can’t. ____54____ Through music, we can show our ideas and moods, allowing others to connect with us on a deeper level.

China’s taijiquan, or tai chi, was added to the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产) on Dec 17, 2020. Although several years have passed, Chen Bing is still excited about it. He was the first man to show the beauty of tai chi in the international introduction film. On its website, taijiquan is described as “A traditional physical practice with relaxed movements that work together with breathing and help develop a peaceful mind.”
Taijiquan was influenced by ancient ideas of traditional Chinese medicine. It has developed into many schools (宗派) or styles, usually named after a school or a master, such as Yang-style and Chen-style. Chen is one of the inheritors (继承者) of the Chen-style taijiquan. He has been practicing it since he was six years old under the guidance of his uncles, Chen Xiaowang and Chen Xiaoxing, two famous masters of Chen-style taijiquan in Henan Province. “Chen-style taijiquan has the longest history, and other styles directly or indirectly branched out from it,” Chen added.
Public popularity has grown greatly in China in recent years. Chen and 100 other masters have been livestreaming (直播) on video-sharing mobile apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. The livestreaming has attracted more than 400,000 viewers. To make taijiquan more popular, Chen also made a simple video of some of the movements to help people relax at the office. He has made a lot of effort in passing on his taijiquan wisdom during all of his online courses.
“The understanding of taijiquan develops as the practice continues,” Chen explained. “As a teenager, it might be a kind of exercise that strengthens your body and improves your fighting skills. As the experience grows, it becomes easier to enjoy its beauty,” he added. Chen said taijiquan has taught him to stay calm during life’s ups and downs and face the world with an open mind. He has taught more than 400 students, who, in turn, have passed the knowledge on to their students.
44. What do we know about taijiquan according to the passage?
A. It is a traditional Chinese Kungfu mainly used for fighting.
B. It is a kind of physical practice that makes people excited.
C. It helps people achieve a balance between mind and body.
D. It shows the beauty of nature and the wisdom of the Chinese.
45. What does the underlined word “branched out” mean in English?
A. protected B. developed C. prevented D. chose
46. Why does Chen livestream taijiquan online?
A. To show off his amazing fighting skills.
B. To strengthen his body and become a master.
C. To attract more viewers to make more money.
D. To spread the exercise to make it more popular.

Have you thought of a world where you can control machines with just your thoughts? Scientists are working on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) to make it possible. BCIs are devices (装置) that connect the human brain directly to outside things, such as computers or other machines. They let our brains send messages to the outside machines, and the machines can understand and do what we want. This is like having a superpower where you can think and things happen!
BCIs can be really helpful in medicine. One of the most exciting uses of BCIs is in healthcare. For example, if someone has a stroke (中风) and can’t move his arm, a BCI might help him learn to move it again. People with other brain problems might also get better care because doctors can see what’s going on inside their brains.
In education, BCIs could make learning much easier and more enjoyable. With a BCI, a student with a learning disability can now process information easily. Or you can get lots of help with a subject you’re struggling with by using your brain signals. BCIs could open up new worlds of knowledge for us, helping us to perform tasks that were impossible or highly challenging in the past.
However, there are also some concerns about BCIs. Some people are worried about privacy (隐私) as we must carefully consider who can see our thoughts and feelings. There are also concerns about the risk that someone could use BCIs to hurt or control other people. We need to make sure the technologies are used in a good and fair way.
Even with these challenges, BCIs are really exciting. They could change how we live and learn in ways we can’t even imagine yet. As we move forward, it’s important to think carefully about how we use BCIs and make sure they’re safe and helpful for everyone.
47. What are BCIs created for by scientists according to the passage?
A. Stopping outside machines from controlling our brains.
B. Making outside machines do what people want.
C. Allowing computers to make better decisions for people.
D. Helping common people get superpower to control others.
48. Which of the following can BCIs do according to the passage?
A. They can cure most brain diseases without doctors.
B. They can help patients fix new arms after a stroke.
C. They can provide better education for people in need.
D. They can offer learners help by recommending teachers.
49. What does the underlined word “concerns” mean?
A. Research. B. Worries. C. Suggestions. D. Dreams.
50. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) to BCIs in general?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeless. D. Supportive.
【答案】47. B 48. C 49. B 50. D
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了脑机接口(BCIs)的相关内容。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据“BCIs are devices (装置) that connect the human brain directly to outside things...They let our brains send messages to the outside machines, and the machines can understand and do what we want.”可知,科学家创造脑机接口是为了让外面的机器做人们想做的事。故选B。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In education, BCIs could make learning much easier and more enjoyable. With a BCI, a student with a learning disability can now process information easily. Or you can get lots of help with a subject you’re struggling with by using your brain signals. BCIs could open up new worlds of knowledge for us, helping us to perform tasks that were impossible or highly challenging in the past.”可知,脑机接口可以为有需要的人提供更好的教育。故选C。
【49题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Some people are worried about privacy (隐私) as we must carefully consider who can see our thoughts and feelings. There are also concerns about the risk that someone could use BCIs to hurt or control other people.”和选项可推知,有些人担心隐私,也有人担心有人会利用脑机接口伤害或控制他人,所以concerns意思是“担心,忧虑”,与worries意思相近。故选B。
【50题详解】
观点态度题。根据“Even with these challenges, BCIs are really exciting. They could change how we live and learn in ways we can’t even imagine yet.”可知,作者认为脑机接口虽然面临挑战,但非常令人兴奋,它们可能会改变我们的生活和学习的方式,所以作者对脑机接口的态度是支持的。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了全职天文摄影师张敬宜的故事。
【59题详解】
句意:幸运的是,天文摄影师拍摄的照片给了人们欣赏星星的机会。根据“photos taken by astrophotographers (天文摄影师) give people chances to admire the stars.”可知,此处指幸运的是,luck“幸运”,名词,此处使用其副词luckily“幸运地”,修饰整个句子,句首首字母大写。故填Luckily。
【60题详解】
句意:张敬宜,一位全职天文摄影师,从小就对太空着迷。根据“since she was a kid.”可知,句子时态为现在完成时,其结构为have/has done;主语“Zhang Jingyi”为第三人称单数,使用助动词has,be的过去分词为been。故填has been。
【61题详解】
句意:她总是为我国的成就感到骄傲。根据“our country’s”可知,此处使用名词,achieve“实现”,动词,其名词形式为achievement“成就”,可数名词,此处使用复数形式,表示泛指。故填achievements。
【62题详解】
句意:对她来说,人们对她作品的热爱总是鼓励她创作更多的作品。encourage sb to do sth“鼓励某人做某事”,固定短语,所以此处使用动词不定式to create。故填to create。
【63题详解】
句意:张说,天文摄影师需要全身心投入到自己的事业中。devote oneself to“致力于,投身于”,固定短语,they“他们”,人称代词主格,其反身代词为themselves。故填themselves。
【64题详解】
句意:例如,在拍摄星星时,他们必须在高山上拍摄。根据“when...photos of stars, they have to film them on high mountains.”可知,此处指拍摄星星时,take photos“拍照”,此处使用现在分词taking,与主语they之间为主动关系,在句中作状语。故填taking。
【65题详解】
句意:拍摄火箭时,他们可能会受到太阳热量的伤害。根据“they may...by the heat of the sun.”可知,此处指他们可能会受到太阳热量的伤害,harm“伤害”,动词,情态动词may后跟动词原形;主语they与harm之间为被动关系,使用被动语态,其结构为be done,所以此处使用be动词原形。故填be harmed。
【66题详解】
句意:除非天文摄影师真正热爱他们所做的事情,否则他们不可能克服困难。根据“It’s impossible for astrophotographers to get over the difficulties...they truly love what they do.”可知,此处指除非天文摄影师真正热爱他们所做的事情,否则他们不可能克服困难,unless“除非”,引导条件状语从句。故填unless。
【67题详解】
句意:张还说,他们必须学习别人的作品,并加入自己的想法。根据“thoughts”可知,此处使用形容词修饰名词,person“人”,名词,其形容词为personal“个人的”。故填personal。
【68题详解】
句意:总之,没有努力工作,他们不可能取得成功。根据“they can’t achieve success...hard work.”可知,此处指没有努力工作,他们不可能取得成功,without“没有”,介词。故填without。
八、根据所给中文完成句子翻译(共6小题;每小题1.5分,满分9分)
69. 请把这些工具收好,因为它们可能会被小孩子误认为是玩具。
Please put the tools away because ________ by little children.
【答案】they may be mistaken for toys
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,此处缺“它们可能会被误认为是玩具”,“可能”用情态动词may,“被误认为”是被动结构“be mistaken for”,“玩具”是toys,主语是they指代tools。故填they may be mistaken for toys。
70. 我想知道你是如何与别人相处好的。
I wonder ________ others.
【答案】how you get on well with##how you get along well with
【解析】
【详解】根据题干可知,此处应用how“如何”引导宾语从句,宾语从句需用陈述语序;you“你”,是主语;get on well with/get along well with“与……相处得好”,主语是you,时态为一般现在时,谓语用动词原形。故填how you get on well with/how you get along well with。
71. 在加油站,人们重视防范火情。
At gas stations, people ________ fire.
【答案】pay attention to guarding against
【解析】
【详解】根据句意可知,此处表示“重视做某事”,用短语“pay attention to doing sth.”,“防范”的英文表达是“guard against”,所以此处应是“重视防范”,即“pay attention to guarding against”,且句子描述的是客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语“people”是复数,谓语动词用原形。故填pay attention to guarding against。
72. 你介意为这些孩子编个故事吗?
Do you ________ for these children?
【答案】mind making up a story
【解析】
【详解】根据中文提示,“你介意做某事吗”的句型,对应的英文是“Do you mind doing sth.”,所以“介意”用mind,“编故事”是make up a story,此处要用make的动名词形式making。故填mind making up a story。
73. 下周将会现场直播这场音乐会吗?
________ next week?
【答案】
Will the concert be covered live##Is the concert going to be covered live
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,此处缺少“将会现场直播这场音乐会吗”,时态为一般将来时。“将会……”可用一般将来时will do或者be going to do结构表示,主语为“the concert”,需用被动语态,be covered live“(被)现场直播”;一般疑问句结构为“Will+主语+be+过去分词+其他“或Be+主语+going to be+过去分词+其他”。故填Will the concert be covered live/Is the concert going to be covered live。
74. 当时警方不得不强行闯入了这个房子。
________ the house at that time.
【答案】The police had to break into
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,此处缺少“警方不得不强行闯入”,“警方”对应The police;“不得不”用have to;“强行闯入”用break into;根据“当时”可知句子时态为一般过去时,have的过去式是had。故填The police had to break into。
