Horizon Hotels and Conference Centres (HHCC) invites several architectural firms to present a plan for designing a Hotel and Conference Centre in Rio de Janeiro. HHCC is an international chain of high-class hotels and conference centres. It is famous for providing luxury accommodation and outstanding service. We intend the hotel to be used for conferences and congresses by groups from all over the world. Selected architectural firms are asked to submit a plan for the ground floor of the building, which will be L-shaped. Details of the project are as follows. The hotel will have seven floors: Basement — equipment and storage Ground floor — facilities to be decided First floor — a large conference room, three meeting rooms and a seminar room Second floor — office accommodation Third-fifth floors — bedrooms Sixth floor — a large restaurant, available for guests and the general public The contract to design the hotel and conference centre will be awarded to the architectural firm which produces the best plan for the ground floor. 21. Which word best fits the question mark “?” in the passage? A．INVITATION B．APPROACH C．CONTRACT D．SUBMISSION 22. According to the passage, the hotel to be built will be mainly intended for________. A．holiday makers       B．conference attendees C．architectural firms       D．construction workers 23. HHCC’s final decision will be based on the best design of________. A．the basement     B．the first floor C．the ground floor      D．the whole building 【答案】ABC 21.【答案】A 【解析】推理判断题。根据文中“Horizon Hotels and Conference Centres （HHCC） invites several architectural firms to present a plan for designing a Hotel and Conference Centre in Rio de Janeiro.（地平线酒店和会议中心（HHCC）邀请几家建筑公司提出了在里约热内户里约热内卢设计酒店和会议中心的方案）”可推知，文章是投标的邀请书。故“邀请”最适合问号部分。故选A。 22.【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第六段中“We intend the hotel to be used for conferences and congresses by groups from all over the world.（我们打算将该酒店用作来自世界各地团体的会议和代表大会）”可知，将要建造的酒店将主要用于会议与会者。故选B。 23.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段“The contract to design the hotel and conference centre will be awarded to the architectural firm which produces the best plan for the ground floor（酒店和会议中心的设计合同将授子为底层设计出最佳方案的建筑公司）”可知，HHCC 的最终决定将基于底层的最佳设计。故选C。 B When I picked up The Woks of Life, a cookbook written by the Leung family, I was very excited. Inside there are mom-and-dad approved recipes with stories and photos—even a timeline—of the family’s history. “We call our cookbook culinary genealogy (烹饪家谱). We wanted the book to be our family’s stories told through food, rather than just characteristic recipes,” said Sarah Leung, who co-wrote the book during the pandemic with her parents and younger sister. “We grew up in a food-obsessed (着迷的) family. Honestly, I’ve developed a quarter of these recipes myself,” Sarah added. “Over time, we’ll accomplish our goal: All family members are competent Chinese cooks.” The cookbook features dishes which might be made in a Chinese American home as well as in Chinese American takeout restaurants. “Home-style cooking and restaurant-style cooking have equal importance, but they are different,” Sarah said, adding that the family also discussed how to be respectful of each point. “I hope the recipes will appeal to Chinese Americans, like my family, and also those less familiar with Chinese cooking.” Part of their cookbook has also been posted on their website, attracting millions of faithful followers. The success of the cookbook is that it honors tradition as well as reflects modern interpretations, making it a mixture of the old and the new. It also offers building blocks for home cooks who want to learn to cook Chinese food. I started my exploration with the Kung Pao Chicken, a popular dish and also my favorite. Joyfully, the dish I made tasted like it was supposed to be. It really built up my confidence. Surely, as you can imagine, I have also set up my goal to be expert in Chinese cooking. The cookbook is promoting Chinese cooking to become the domain of home cooks in the United States. For too long, Chinese cooking has been a cuisine that many people are used to only eating out. 24. Why is the cookbook called culinary genealogy? A. It runs in the family. B. It is written by family members. C. It includes the story of a family. D. It contains mom-and-dad approved recipes. 25. Which of the following best describes the Leung family? A. Easygoing and helpful.  B. Faithful and energetic. C. Devoted and considerate.  D. Fortunate and thankful. 26. What does the author think of The Woks of Life? A. It is a typical Chinese cookbook. B. Its success lies in honoring tradition. C. It offers building blocks for all cooks. D. It helps improve the author’s cooking skills. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Most Americans are used to eating out. B. The cookbook has become a best seller. C. American home cooks prefer Chinese cooking. D. The cookbook benefits the spread of Chinese cooking. 【答案】CBDA 【主旨大意】这是一篇说明文。一位因使用有史以来最大的太空望远镜而闻名的英国科学家 Maggie Pocock 被授予了自己的芭比娃娃。文章主要介绍了 Maggie Pocock 的成就以及这个芭比娃娃的特点。 24.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“A British scientist known for her work with the largest space telescope ever made has been honored with her own Barbie doll.

Between birth and adulthood, however, the fish have to complete a treacherous journey. After hatching, they swim out to the open sea to finish developing. After maturing, the young fish swim back, during which they have to avoid a "wall of mouths" by sensing the unfriendly smells. With ocean acidification, a trend that is occurring worldwide, scientists began to wonder what might happen to fish's sense of smell. My team put 300 recently hatched clown fish in our lab. When we introduced a friendly fish odor (气味), they did not react. But when we introduced an enemy odor, they swan away. We then repeated the experiment with 300 new hatchlings from the same parents in the more acidic water a level we can expect by the year 2100 if current trends continue. When we introduced friendly and unfriendly smells at the same time, the fish seemed unable to make up their minds, spending equal time swimming toward one smell and the other. They could sense chemical signals but couldn't recognize the meaning of them. It is always tricky to say that behaviors soon in a lab would also be seen in the wild. So we went to a sandy lake near one of the Great Barrier Reef's northern islands to test bow wild-caught damselfish would react to enemy smells after exposing them to acidic water. In a tank, about half of them held in water with acidity expected by 2050 were attracted to the unfriendly odor and half were not, yet not one held in water anticipated by 2100 avoided being attracted so the enemy odor. We then let the marked damselfish loose in the lake. The fish once held in the most acidic water swam farther away from their protective home. Can fish adept? Most studies have habituated fish to lifted acidic conditions over a few days or months —an extremely short length of time. The animals are not given a realistic opportunity to adapt. Yet some scientists thought that fish might escape the anger of ocean acidification, in part because early research done in the 1980s showed that certain animals had an astonishing ability to regulate their internal chemistry to survive acidified water. But maintaining normal functions such as avoiding danger is a different challenge. At a minimum, confusion could place yet another stressor on fish already challenged by rising water temperatures, overfishing, etc. Further, if many ocean creatures start to behave strangely, entire food webs and ecosystems could come crashing down. Although the science is still new, the results appear to be lining up: ocean acidification is messing with fish's minds. 28. What does the underlined word "treacherous" in Paragraph 1 probably mean？  A.Risky. B.Hurried. C.Mysterious. D.Helpless. 29. What can we learn about the fish in the acidic water？  A.They lost their senses to chemical signals. B.They were less likely to respond to threats. C.Their behavior in the lab disappeared in the wild. D.They tended to seek the protection from their home. 30. What can be inferred from the passage？  A.The author's study confirms previous findings. B.Fish's adaptation to acidic water is a matter of time. C.Different fishes behave differently to acidity change. D.The chances of restoring fish's minds are yet to be seen. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？  A.What Do Different Stressors Do to Ocean Creatures？ B.What Does Ocean Acidity Mean to Ocean Creatures？ C.How Does Ocean Acidification Destroy the Ecosystem？ D.How Do Ocean Creatures Adapt to Ocean Acidification？ 【答案】DAAD 28．【答案】A 【解析】词义猜测题。根据第一段After hatching，they swim out to the open sea to finish developing.After maturing，the young fish swim back，during which they have to avoid a "wall of mouths" by sensing the unfriendly smells. （孵化后，它们游到大海中完成发育。成年后，幼鱼会游回来，在此期间，它们必须通过感知不友好的气味来避开"口墙"。）可知，小丑鱼出生后要独自去大海中生活，成年后才能回来，这期间随时都有被其他生物吃掉的可能，有着较大的风险，可谓是一场有风险的旅程。故划线词"treacherous"表示"有风险的"。A.Risky有风险的；B.Hurried匆忙的；C.Mysterious神秘的；D.Helpless无助的。故选A。 29．【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段When we introduced friendly and unfriendly smells at the same time，the fish seemed unable to make up their minds，spending equal time swimming toward one smell and the other.They could sense chemical signals but couldn't recognize the meaning of them.（当我们同时引入友好和不友好的气味时，鱼似乎无法下定决心，花同样的时间游向一种气味和另一种气味。他们可以感知化学信号，但不能识别它们的意义。）可知，鱼在酸性水中，不太能识别不友好的具有威胁性的气味，故选B。 30．【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段But maintaining normal functions such as avoiding danger is a different challenge.（但维持正常功能，如避免危险则是另一种挑战。）和最后一段Although the science is still new，the results appear to be lining up：ocean acidification is messing with fish's minds.（虽然这门科学还是新兴的，但结果似乎是一致的：海洋酸化正在扰乱鱼类的思维。）可知，海洋酸化正在扰乱鱼的思维，使鱼很难避免危险，所以恢复鱼的思维的可能性还有待观察，故选D。 31．【答案】B 【解析】标题归纳题。根据第一段With ocean acidification，a trend that is occurring worldwide，scientists began to wonder what might happen to fish's sense of smell.（随着全球范围内海洋酸化的趋势，科学家们开始想知道鱼类的嗅觉会发生什么。）和最后一段Although the science is still new，the results appear to be lining up：ocean acidification is messing with fish's minds.（虽然这门科学还是新兴的，但结果似乎是一致的：海洋酸化正在扰乱鱼类的思维。）及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了海洋酸化对海洋生物产生的影响，B.What Does Ocean Acidity Mean to Ocean Creatures？（海洋酸度对海洋生物意味着什么？）符合文意，故选B。 D The “reading wars,” one of the most confusing and disabling conflicts in the history of education, went on heatedly in the 1980s and then peace came. Advocates of phonics (learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature). Recent events suggest the conflict of complicated concepts is far from over. Teachers, parents and experts appear to agree that phonics is crucial, but what is going on in classrooms is not in agreement with what research studies say is required, which has aroused a national debate over the meaning of the word “phonics.”  Lucy M. Calkins, a professor at Columbia University’s Teachers College and a much-respected expert on how to teach reading, has drawn attention with an eight-page essay. Here is part of her argument: “The important thing is to teach kids that they needn’t freeze when they come to a hard word, nor skip past it. The important thing is to teach them that they have resources to draw upon, and to use those resources to develop endurance.” To Calkins’s critics, it is cruel and wasteful to encourage 6-year-olds to look for clues if they don’t immediately know the correct sounds. They should work on decoding — knowing the pronunciation of every letter group — until they master it, say the critics, backed by much research.  Calkins’s approach “is a slow, unreliable way to read words and an inefficient way to develop word recognition skill,” Mark S. Seidenberg, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin, said in a blog post. “Dr. Calkins treats word recognition as a reasoning problem — like solving a puzzle. She is committed to the educational principle that children learn best by discovering how systems work rather than being told.”  Many others share his view. “Children should learn to decode — i.e., go from print on the page to words in the mind — not by clever guesswork and inference, but by learning to decode,” Daniel Willingham, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, told me. He said the inferences Calkins applauds are “cognitively (认知地) demanding, and readers don’t have much endurance for it. … It disturbs the flow of what you’re reading, and doing a lot of it gets frustrating.” Yet a recent survey found that only 22 percent of 670 early-reading teachers are using the approach of phonics and what they mean by phonics is often no more than marking up a worksheet.  Both sides agree that children need to acquire the vocabulary and background information that gives meaning to words. But first, they have to pronounce them correctly to connect the words they have learned to speak.  Calkins said in her essay: “Much of what the phonics people are saying is praiseworthy,” but it would be a mistake to teach phonics “at the expense of reading and writing.”  The two sides appear to agree with her on that. 32. Critics of phonics hold the opinion that ________. A. children should be taught to use context B. teaching phonics is both boring and useless C. kids acquire vocabulary in hearing letter groups D. pronunciation has nothing to do with meaning of words 33. Which of the following statements is Mark S. Seidenberg most likely to agree with?  A. Tell me and I will forget; show me and I will remember. B. Skilled reading is fast and automatic but not deliberative. C. Word recognition skill should be developed in problem reasoning. D. Learning to make reasonable inferences is also a way of decoding. 34. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. phonics approach has been proved to be successful B. children don’t shy away from difficulties in reading C. the two reading approaches might integrate with each other D. reading and writing are much more important than phonics 35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. An everlasting reading war among critics B. From print on the page to words in the mind C. A battle restarts between phonics, whole language D. Decoding and inferring confuse early-reading teachers 【答案】ABCC 32．【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Advocates of phonics （learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature）”（自然拼读法的倡导者——通过学习每个字母组的发音来学习，似乎击败了整体语言法的倡议者——通过使用上下文等线索来学习，并接触许多好的文学作品）可知，反对自然拼读的人们认为要通过语境来来学习。故选A。 33．【答案】B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段 Mark S. Seidenberg 所说的话“Calkins's approach "is a slow，unreliable way to read words and an inefficient way to develop word recognition skill," (Calkins的方法“是一种缓慢、不可靠的读词方式，也是一种发展单词识别技能的低效方式”。）以及“Dr. Calkins treats word recognition as a reasoning problem-like solving a puzzle." (Calkins博士将单词识别视为一个推理问题，就像解决一个难题一样。）可推知，Mark S. Seidenberg 会倾向于同意熟练的阅读是快速和自动的，而不是深思熟虑的。故选B。 34．【答案】C 【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Both sides agree that children need to acquire the vocabulary and background information that gives meaning to words. But first, they have to pronounce them correctly to connect the words they have learned to speak”（双方都同意，孩子们需要掌握赋予单词意义的词汇和背景信息。但首先，他们必须正确发音，以便将所学单词连接起来。）以praiseworthy," but it would be a mistake to teach phonics "at the expense of reading and writing.（Calkins在她的文章中说：“人们所说的很多语音知识都是值得称赞的”，但“以阅读和写作为代价”教授语音知识将是一个错误）和最后一段“双方似乎都同意她的观点。”可推知，这两种阅读方法可以相互融合。故选C。 35．【答案】C 【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Advocates of phonics （learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature） ”（自然拼读法的倡导者——通过学习每个字母组的发音来学习，似乎击败了整体语言法的倡议者—通过使用上下文等线索来学习，并接触许多好的文学作品）和第二段“Teachers, parents and experts appear to agree that phonics is crucial，but what is going on in classrooms is not in agreement with what research studies say is required, which has aroused a national debate over the meaning of the word “phonics.”（教师、家长和专家似乎都同意语音至关重要，但课堂上发生的事情与研究报告所说的不一致，这引发了全困范围内对“语音”一词含义的争论）可知，本文是有关自然拼读法和整体语言法之间的讨论。故选C。 第二节（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。 When students get home, they usually sit down at the table and pull out their homework. Piles of papers rise all the way to the ceiling. American students should get less homework on a daily basis. 36 Loads of homework can cause stress in a student and lead to health issues in the body and mind. Stress causes lack of sleep, slipping grades, tiredness, unhealthy eating habits, depression, and so on. Nervous breakdowns can make completing homework much more of a struggle and also effect the health and life of a student. 37 The recommended amount is 10 minutes times the grade level. So first grade gets 10 minutes; second grade gets 20 minutes; third grade gets 30 minutes, and so on, but kids are doing much more than that. Twenty three percent of 13-year-olds do more than 2 hours a night. 38 There is no academic benefit for high school students after 2 hours and there are no academic benefits for middle school students after 1 and a half hours. Doing homework all night can take away a student's free time and sleep. Always doing homework can lead to less time for sports and after-school activities. 39 Worse still, hanging out with friends is decreased, so that means there is less socializing. Staying up late and doing homework takes away a student's time to sleep. Not enough sleep can leave students tired, and at school the y might focus less or fall asleep during class. Shouldn't students get less homework so that they can be happy and have more time with family and friends? 40 If teachers and parents tried to reduce the amount of homework, there would be a decrease in stress and anxiety and an increase in happiness! A. Lack of sleep can cause great stress. B. The more the students do, the less they get out of doing it. C. Administrators, teachers, and parents need to address this issue. D. Family time is also decreased, which can add more family conflict. E Homework-related anxiety and stress can affect school work negatively. F. Kids are doing more than the recommended amount with no academic benefits. G. Anyway, too much homework can cause quite a few physical and mental problems. 【答案】GFBDC 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了大量的家庭作业可能会给学生带来的身心健康问题，并号召管理人员、教师和家长解决这个问题。 36．【答案】G 【解析】根据后文“Loads of homework can cause stress in a student and lead to health issues in the body and mind.（大量的家庭作业会给学生带来压力，并导致身心健康问题。）”可知，此处是讲过多的家庭作业会导致身心健康问题，所以选项G“无论如何，太多的家庭作业会导致相当多的身体和精神问题。”切合文意。故选G。 37.【答案】F 【解析】根据后文“The recommended amount is 10 minutes times the grade level... , but kids are doing much more than that.（建议的时间是10分钟乘以年级水平。一年级有10分钟；二年级有20分钟；三年级只有30分钟，以此类推，但孩子们做的远远不止这些。）”可知，此处是指学生的实际作业量远超推荐量是没有好处的，所以选项F“孩子们的作业量超过了推荐量，却没有任何学业上的好处。”切合文意。故选F。 38. 【答案】B 【解析】根据后文“There is no academic benefit for high school students... after 1 and a half hours.（2小时后对高中生没有任何学习效益，1个半小时后对中学生没有任何学习效益。）”可知，此处是讲学生的作业量太多没有任何好处，所以选项B“学生做得越多，从中得到的就越少。”切合文意。故选B。 39. 【答案】D 【解析】根据前文“Always doing homework can lead to less time for sports and after-school activities.（总是做作业会导致运动和课外活动的时间减少。”和后文“Worse still,hanging out with friends is decreased, so that means there is less socializing.（更糟糕的是，和朋友出去玩的时间减少了，这意味着社交活动减少了。”可知，此处是讲过多的作业量会导致学生各方面的时间减少以及带来的后果，所以选项 D“家庭时间也减少，这可能会增加更多的家庭冲突。”切合文意。故选D。 40. 【答案】C 【解析】根据后文“If teachers and parents tried to…a decrease in stress and anxiety and an increase in happiness！（如果老师和家长设法减少家庭作业的数量，压力和焦虑就会减少，幸福就会增加！）”可知，此处是讲号召解决家庭作业过多的问题，所以选项C“管理人员、教师和家长需要解决这个问题。”切合文意。故选C。 第3部分 英语知识运用（共四节，满分50分） 第1节 单句补全（每小题1分，共10题，满分10分） 41.

A. appointment B. conflict C. mixture D. bond 48.【答案】B 【解析】句意：研究人员发现，主动向陌生人伸出援手的人明显会有更强烈的归属感，那是一种与他人建立联系的纽带。A. appointment约会；B. conflict矛盾；C. mixture混合；D. bond纽带。故选B。 49. —The trip to Yangzhou is impressive thanks to free access to tourist attraction, isn’t it? —Well, free access is just an added and the real attraction lies in its local-flavor food.

Thousands of soldiers are working to food and blankets to the victims. A. exploit B. distribute C. input D. transform 50.【答案】B 【解析】句意：数千名土兵正在为灾民分发食物和毯子。A. exploit利用，剥削；B.distribute 分发；C.input输入；D.transform 转换。根据句意“给灾民食物和毯子”可知，士兵们在“分发”这些东西，故选 B。 第2节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） I didn't always make my living from music.

When its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion of them. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock 66 (believe)to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles long was seen near Cincinnati. Sadly, where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was 67 ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, 68 (wait) until pigeons had settled to feed, and threw large nets over them, taking 69 (hundred) at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants. By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested 70 (damage) by Americans' need for wood, which scattered the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, 71 cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to 72 (they) decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again. In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, 73 by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. 74 a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known 75 (affectionate) as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914. 66.【答案】believed 【解析】此处考察非谓语动词，a flock指代一群旅鸽，与被人们看到有1英里宽，320英里长这件事形成被动关系，故填believed。 67. 【答案】an 【解析】此处考察名词前考察冠词，ever元音音素开头，故填an。 68.【答案】waited 【解析】此处考察谓语动词，与attracted以及threw两个谓语动词形成并列关系，故填waited。 69.【答案】hundreds 【解析】此处考察名词考察变复数，此处指一次抓上百只旅鸽，故填hundreds。 70.【答案】had been damaged 【解析】此处考察谓语动词，by+过去时间是过去完成时的标志词，且与forest形成被动关系，故填had been damaged。 71.【答案】where 【解析】此处考察定语从句，修饰north北方，从句不缺成分，指代地点，故填where。 72.【答案】their 【解析】此处考察形容词性物主代词，decline此处为名词，减少，名词需要形容词修饰，故填their。 73.【答案】but 【解析】此处考察连词，两个谓语动词需要一个连词，且前后文内容发生转折，故填but。 74.【答案】for 【解析】此处考察介词固定搭配，for a time短时间内，暂时的意思，故填for。 75.【答案】affectionately 【解析】此处考察副词知识点，affectionate形容词，亲切的，需要变成副词修饰known，被亲切地称为Martha，故填affectionately。 第四部分 写作（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你的英国网友 David 来售询问你大学选择什么专业，请你用英语给他回信，内容包括： 1. 你感兴趣的专业： 2. 该专业的重要性： 3. 该专业就业前景。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2．可以适当增加细节。以使行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear David, Glad to hear from you.

Horizon Hotel & Conference Centre — 5 stars www.hotelhorizon.br | 320 rooms Candidates are asked to submit their letter of intention before 24 June, 2023. Horizon Hotels and Conference Centres (HHCC) invites several architectural firms to present a plan for designing a Hotel and Conference Centre in Rio de Janeiro. HHCC is an international chain of high-class hotels and conference centres. It is famous for providing luxury accommodation and outstanding service. We intend the hotel to be used for conferences and congresses by groups from all over the world. Selected architectural firms are asked to submit a plan for the ground floor of the building, which will be L-shaped. Details of the project are as follows. The hotel will have seven floors: Basement — equipment and storage Ground floor — facilities to be decided First floor — a large conference room, three meeting rooms and a seminar room Second floor — office accommodation Third-fifth floors — bedrooms Sixth floor — a large restaurant, available for guests and the general public The contract to design the hotel and conference centre will be awarded to the architectural firm which produces the best plan for the ground floor. 21. Which word best fits the question mark “?” in the passage? A．INVITATION B．APPROACH C．CONTRACT D．SUBMISSION 22. According to the passage, the hotel to be built will be mainly intended for________. A．holiday makers       B．conference attendees C．architectural firms       D．construction workers 23. HHCC’s final decision will be based on the best design of________. A．the basement     B．the first floor C．the ground floor      D．the whole building B When I picked up The Woks of Life, a cookbook written by the Leung family, I was very excited. Inside there are mom-and-dad approved recipes with stories and photos—even a timeline—of the family’s history. “We call our cookbook culinary genealogy (烹饪家谱). We wanted the book to be our family’s stories told through food, rather than just characteristic recipes,” said Sarah Leung, who co-wrote the book during the pandemic with her parents and younger sister. “We grew up in a food-obsessed (着迷的) family. Honestly, I’ve developed a quarter of these recipes myself,” Sarah added. “Over time, we’ll accomplish our goal: All family members are competent Chinese cooks.” The cookbook features dishes which might be made in a Chinese American home as well as in Chinese American takeout restaurants. “Home-style cooking and restaurant-style cooking have equal importance, but they are different,” Sarah said, adding that the family also discussed how to be respectful of each point. “I hope the recipes will appeal to Chinese Americans, like my family, and also those less familiar with Chinese cooking.” Part of their cookbook has also been posted on their website, attracting millions of faithful followers. The success of the cookbook is that it honors tradition as well as reflects modern interpretations, making it a mixture of the old and the new. It also offers building blocks for home cooks who want to learn to cook Chinese food. I started my exploration with the Kung Pao Chicken, a popular dish and also my favorite. Joyfully, the dish I made tasted like it was supposed to be. It really built up my confidence. Surely, as you can imagine, I have also set up my goal to be expert in Chinese cooking. The cookbook is promoting Chinese cooking to become the domain of home cooks in the United States. For too long, Chinese cooking has been a cuisine that many people are used to only eating out. 24. Why is the cookbook called culinary genealogy? A. It runs in the family. B. It is written by family members. C. It includes the story of a family. D. It contains mom-and-dad approved recipes. 25. Which of the following best describes the Leung family? A. Easygoing and helpful.  B. Faithful and energetic. C. Devoted and considerate.  D. Fortunate and thankful. 26. What does the author think of The Woks of Life? A. It is a typical Chinese cookbook. B. Its success lies in honoring tradition. C. It offers building blocks for all cooks. D. It helps improve the author’s cooking skills. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Most Americans are used to eating out. B. The cookbook has become a best seller. C. American home cooks prefer Chinese cooking. D. The cookbook benefits the spread of Chinese cooking. C Clown fish live their adult lives in the protective arms of sea anemones, the small brightly colored sea animals attached onto rocks to house clown fish. Between birth and adulthood, however, the fish have to complete a treacherous journey. After hatching, they swim out to the open sea to finish developing. After maturing, the young fish swim back, during which they have to avoid a "wall of mouths" by sensing the unfriendly smells. With ocean acidification, a trend that is occurring worldwide, scientists began to wonder what might happen to fish's sense of smell. My team put 300 recently hatched clown fish in our lab. When we introduced a friendly fish odor (气味), they did not react. But when we introduced an enemy odor, they swan away. We then repeated the experiment with 300 new hatchlings from the same parents in the more acidic water a level we can expect by the year 2100 if current trends continue. When we introduced friendly and unfriendly smells at the same time, the fish seemed unable to make up their minds, spending equal time swimming toward one smell and the other. They could sense chemical signals but couldn't recognize the meaning of them. It is always tricky to say that behaviors soon in a lab would also be seen in the wild. So we went to a sandy lake near one of the Great Barrier Reef's northern islands to test bow wild-caught damselfish would react to enemy smells after exposing them to acidic water. In a tank, about half of them held in water with acidity expected by 2050 were attracted to the unfriendly odor and half were not, yet not one held in water anticipated by 2100 avoided being attracted so the enemy odor. We then let the marked damselfish loose in the lake. The fish once held in the most acidic water swam farther away from their protective home. Can fish adept? Most studies have habituated fish to lifted acidic conditions over a few days or months —an extremely short length of time. The animals are not given a realistic opportunity to adapt. Yet some scientists thought that fish might escape the anger of ocean acidification, in part because early research done in the 1980s showed that certain animals had an astonishing ability to regulate their internal chemistry to survive acidified water. But maintaining normal functions such as avoiding danger is a different challenge. At a minimum, confusion could place yet another stressor on fish already challenged by rising water temperatures, overfishing, etc. Further, if many ocean creatures start to behave strangely, entire food webs and ecosystems could come crashing down. Although the science is still new, the results appear to be lining up: ocean acidification is messing with fish's minds. 28. What does the underlined word "treacherous" in Paragraph 1 probably mean？  A.Risky. B.Hurried. C.Mysterious. D.Helpless. 29. What can we learn about the fish in the acidic water？  A.They lost their senses to chemical signals. B.They were less likely to respond to threats. C.Their behavior in the lab disappeared in the wild. D.They tended to seek the protection from their home. 30. What can be inferred from the passage？  A.The author's study confirms previous findings. B.Fish's adaptation to acidic water is a matter of time. C.Different fishes behave differently to acidity change. D.The chances of restoring fish's minds are yet to be seen. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？  A.What Do Different Stressors Do to Ocean Creatures？ B.What Does Ocean Acidity Mean to Ocean Creatures？ C.How Does Ocean Acidification Destroy the Ecosystem？ D.How Do Ocean Creatures Adapt to Ocean Acidification？ D The “reading wars,” one of the most confusing and disabling conflicts in the history of education, went on heatedly in the 1980s and then peace came. Advocates of phonics (learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature). Recent events suggest the conflict of complicated concepts is far from over. Teachers, parents and experts appear to agree that phonics is crucial, but what is going on in classrooms is not in agreement with what research studies say is required, which has aroused a national debate over the meaning of the word “phonics.”  Lucy M. Calkins, a professor at Columbia University’s Teachers College and a much-respected expert on how to teach reading, has drawn attention with an eight-page essay. Here is part of her argument: “The important thing is to teach kids that they needn’t freeze when they come to a hard word, nor skip past it. The important thing is to teach them that they have resources to draw upon, and to use those resources to develop endurance.” To Calkins’s critics, it is cruel and wasteful to encourage 6-year-olds to look for clues if they don’t immediately know the correct sounds. They should work on decoding — knowing the pronunciation of every letter group — until they master it, say the critics, backed by much research.  Calkins’s approach “is a slow, unreliable way to read words and an inefficient way to develop word recognition skill,” Mark S. Seidenberg, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin, said in a blog post. “Dr. Calkins treats word recognition as a reasoning problem — like solving a puzzle. She is committed to the educational principle that children learn best by discovering how systems work rather than being told.”  Many others share his view. “Children should learn to decode — i.e., go from print on the page to words in the mind — not by clever guesswork and inference, but by learning to decode,” Daniel Willingham, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, told me. He said the inferences Calkins applauds are “cognitively (认知地) demanding, and readers don’t have much endurance for it. … It disturbs the flow of what you’re reading, and doing a lot of it gets frustrating.” Yet a recent survey found that only 22 percent of 670 early-reading teachers are using the approach of phonics and what they mean by phonics is often no more than marking up a worksheet.  Both sides agree that children need to acquire the vocabulary and background information that gives meaning to words. But first, they have to pronounce them correctly to connect the words they have learned to speak.  Calkins said in her essay: “Much of what the phonics people are saying is praiseworthy,” but it would be a mistake to teach phonics “at the expense of reading and writing.”  The two sides appear to agree with her on that. 32. Critics of phonics hold the opinion that ________. A. children should be taught to use context B. teaching phonics is both boring and useless C. kids acquire vocabulary in hearing letter groups D. pronunciation has nothing to do with meaning of words 33. Which of the following statements is Mark S. Seidenberg most likely to agree with?  A. Tell me and I will forget; show me and I will remember. B. Skilled reading is fast and automatic but not deliberative. C. Word recognition skill should be developed in problem reasoning. D. Learning to make reasonable inferences is also a way of decoding. 34. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. phonics approach has been proved to be successful B. children don’t shy away from difficulties in reading C. the two reading approaches might integrate with each other D. reading and writing are much more important than phonics 35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. An everlasting reading war among critics B. From print on the page to words in the mind C. A battle restarts between phonics, whole language D. Decoding and inferring confuse early-reading teachers 第二节（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。 When students get home, they usually sit down at the table and pull out their homework. Piles of papers rise all the way to the ceiling. American students should get less homework on a daily basis. 36 Loads of homework can cause stress in a student and lead to health issues in the body and mind. Stress causes lack of sleep, slipping grades, tiredness, unhealthy eating habits, depression, and so on. Nervous breakdowns can make completing homework much more of a struggle and also effect the health and life of a student. 37 The recommended amount is 10 minutes times the grade level. So first grade gets 10 minutes; second grade gets 20 minutes; third grade gets 30 minutes, and so on, but kids are doing much more than that. Twenty three percent of 13-year-olds do more than 2 hours a night. 38 There is no academic benefit for high school students after 2 hours and there are no academic benefits for middle school students after 1 and a half hours. Doing homework all night can take away a student's free time and sleep. Always doing homework can lead to less time for sports and after-school activities. 39 Worse still, hanging out with friends is decreased, so that means there is less socializing. Staying up late and doing homework takes away a student's time to sleep. Not enough sleep can leave students tired, and at school the y might focus less or fall asleep during class. Shouldn't students get less homework so that they can be happy and have more time with family and friends? 40 If teachers and parents tried to reduce the amount of homework, there would be a decrease in stress and anxiety and an increase in happiness! A. Lack of sleep can cause great stress. B. The more the students do, the less they get out of doing it. C. Administrators, teachers, and parents need to address this issue. D. Family time is also decreased, which can add more family conflict. E Homework-related anxiety and stress can affect school work negatively. F. Kids are doing more than the recommended amount with no academic benefits. G. Anyway, too much homework can cause quite a few physical and mental problems. 第3部分 英语知识运用（共四节，满分50分） 第1节 单句补全（每小题1分，共10题，满分10分） 41.

When its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion of them. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock 66 (believe)to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles long was seen near Cincinnati. Sadly, where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was 67 ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, 68 (wait) until pigeons had settled to feed, and threw large nets over them, taking 69 (hundred) at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants. By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested 70 (damage) by Americans' need for wood, which scattered the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, 71 cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to 72 (they) decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again. In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, 73 by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. 74 a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known 75 (affectionate) as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914. 第四部分 写作（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你的英国開友 David 来售询问你大学选择什么专业，请你用英语给他回信，内容包括： 1. 你感兴趣的专业： 2. 该专业的重要性： 3. 该专业就业前景。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2．可以适当增加细节。以使行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear David, Glad to hear from you.
