The email request came in to Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore: baked fish topped with onion and cucumber vinegar. Brandon Jones who sent the email didn't actually want the food itself. He was writing on behalf of his mother, who loved the dish. Every time Jones' mother visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben so she could order that one dish. He went on to explain that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.
Steve Chu, the restaurant's owner, read the email and quickly replied with an alternative suggestion. “Thanks for reaching out,” he wrote. “We'd like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you.” A day after receiving Brandon's email, Chu loaded his truck with everything he needed and then headed for Vermont with his employees. As soon as Chu and his team pulled into the parking lot, they got to work. After neatly boxing everything up, they knocked on their customer's door.
As soon as she opened the door, Jones' mother recognized Chu and his coworkers. She couldn't believe it and kept saying. “I don't understand. You drove all the way up here to cook for me?”
As for Chu, he wouldn't accept any money from the family. He said to Jones' mother. “You're an amazing, sweet lady and love the food. It was an honor to help make your wish come true.”
“My mom cried later about their generosity, and so did I,” Jones said. “I'll carry that positive memory with me always.”

The fast spread of the virus has led most Chinese citizens to wear face masks in public to help reduce infections. The Beijingbased Hanwang Technology Ltd. says it has created a new facial recognition system that is the first to effectively identify people even if they are wearing masks.
China is recognized as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence and facial recognition system. The new system is based on the existing technologies developed over the past 10 years.
“When wearing a mask, the recognition rate can reach about 95 percent, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” Hanwang's vice president, Huang Lei, said. He added that the system's success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5 percent. However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is tough,” Huang said.
Hanwang is now selling two main kinds of products that use the technology. One performs “single channel” recognition and the other is a “multichannel” recognition, which can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people “within a second”.
Huang said officials can use Hanwang's technology to compare images with ministry (部门) records on individuals in order to identify and track people as they move about. The system can identify crime suspects (嫌疑人), terrorists or make reports or warnings, he added.
While some citizens have expressed doubt to such tools, more people seem to have accepted the methods as a way to deal with the current health emergency.
So far, Huang says most interest in the new system has come from within China. But he sees the interest likely expanding if the virus continues to spread and the use of face masks increases.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新研发的人脸识别系统,即使人戴着面具,也能对人进行有效识别。

A.It has no relation to the existing tech.
B.It is being used both at home and abroad.
C.It can record people's temperature.
D.It can identify people even if they're wearing masks.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Beijingbased Hanwang Technology Ltd. says it has created a new facial recognition system that is the first to effectively identify people even if they are wearing masks.(总部位于北京的汉王科技有限公司表示,他们已经开发出了一种新的面部识别系统,这是第一个即使人们戴着口罩也能有效识别的系统。)”可知,这种新研发的人脸识别系统是首个即使人戴着面具,也能对人进行有效识别的系统。故选D。
9.According to the passage, the new system will probably be most helpful for ________.
A.international companies

CTK Bio Canada (the “Company”) has developed a new bioplastic resin(树脂) designed to degrade(break down) by both industrial and home compostin( 堆制肥料), as well as in unmanaged environments like soil and seawater, in order to reduce microplastic pollution. The Company is now undertaking detailed experimental trials with academic partners to further strengthen and prove its technology ahead of expected commercial release in 2022, meanwhile a temporary patent(专利) has been applied for.
Over 360 million tons of plastic waste are now produced every year, with only 9% of that being recycled. CTK Bio Canada is aiming to replace conventional plastic used for packaging with a safer, more sustainable(可持续的) choice.
Bioplastics currently account for only 1% of global plastic production, and much of this requires specialized composting equipment in order to break them down. High costs, issues with production equipment, and poor longterm steady state have also limited the broader commercial consumption of bioplastics.
Now, CTK Bio Canada founded by JK Park and Daniel Shum believes they have found a solution. The company is the new Canadian subsidiary(附属公司) of Korean cosmetic giant CTK Cosmetics (“CTK”). In a push to reduce their environmental footprint, CTK has paid much for the research being done by the Canadian team. “CTK shares our vision for the future of the packaging industry, and has been a perfect fit.”“Canada has tremendous strength in the bioresources sector, giving us a real competitive edge,” said Park, CEO of CTK Bio Canada. “The goals we set for ourselves were high, so we wanted to work with the very best in the field to produce a material that could do better than what was currently on the market.”
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。CTK Bio Canada公司开发了一种新的生物塑料树脂,旨在通过工业和家庭堆肥以及在土壤和海水等未管理的环境中降解,以减少微塑料污染。
12.Why is the new bioplastic resin developed?
A.To degrade it by home composting.
B.To prove its technology.
C.To conduct detailed experimental trials.
D.To reduce microplastic pollution.

13.How many tons of plastic waste is recycled?
A.360,000,000.
B.32,400,000.
C.3,600,000.
D.Not mentioned.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段“Over 360 million tons of plastic waste are now produced every year, with only 9% of that being recycled.(现在每年产生超过3.6亿吨塑料垃圾,其中只有9%被回收)”可知,360 million tons of plastic waste之中的9%被回收再利用,经计算过360 million*9%=32.4million 即32,400,000。故选B项。
14.What is the attitude of Park towards the research on bioplastics?
A.Negative. B.Unclear.
C.Positive. D.Opposed.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段““CTK shares our vision for the future of the packaging industry, and has been a perfect fit.”“Canada has tremendous strength in the bioresources sector, giving us a real competitive edge,” said Park, CEO of CTK Bio Canada. “The goals we set for ourselves were high, so we wanted to work with the very best in the field to produce a material that could do better than what was currently on the market.”(“CTK分享了我们对包装行业未来的愿景,并一直是一个完美的匹配。加拿大在生物资源领域有着巨大的优势,这给了我们真正的竞争优势,”加拿大CTK Bio的首席执行官Park说,“我们给自己设定的目标很高,所以我们希望与该领域的精英合作,生产出一种比目前市场上的材料更好的材料。”)”可知,Park对该公司针对微塑料污染方面的这项研究很乐观,很肯定。故选C项。
15.What is the passage mainly about?
A.A new sustainable material for the future.
B.Harmful effects of plastics.
C.Production of bioplastics.
D.Resolve of CTK Bio Canada's.
解析:选A 主旨大意题。根据第一段本文主题句“CTK Bio Canada (the “Company”) has developed a new bioplastic resin(树脂) designed to degrade(break down) by both industrial and home compostin( 堆制肥料), as well as in unmanaged environments like soil and seawater, in order to reduce microplastic pollution.( CTK Bio Canada公司开发了一种新的生物塑料树脂,旨在通过工业和家庭堆肥以及在土壤和海水等未管理的环境中降解,以减少微塑料污染。)”可知,本文主要讲的是一家加拿大公司为减少微塑料污染而研发的一种新型可持续的生物塑料树脂。后面详细了介绍这项研究的背景,过程,及人们对此的态度。故选A项。

As much as 80 percent of early heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. __16__ But others may not have crossed your mind. Actually, a small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run.
Get eight hours of sleep. When we are not rested, everything that happens in our life is a lot more stressful. If we don't have enough sleep, our bodies will have difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation(炎症)and glucose levels(血糖水平). __17__
Laugh. A study found a lower incidence(发生率)of heart disease in those who reported laughing every day. For one thing, laughter reduces stress and depression. For another, it may also serve as a miniworkout, helping blood circulation and protecting our heart.
__18__ Research showed that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health. By participating in voluntary activities, we can get out of the house and create a social network, thus decreasing feelings of loneliness and naturally preventing heart disease.
Treat depression. __19__ Not only are we more likely to drink too much alcohol and to avoid exercise, there are also physiological effects of this condition on the body, such as higher levels of blood sugar, which can be associated with poor heart health.
Have breakfast. A recent study found that healthy people who didn't have breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who had breakfast regularly. __20__ Choose wholegrain, lowfat breakfast foods and include fruits.
A.Reduce risks.
B.Engage in volunteer work.
C.Depression can affect the way we behave.
D.Depression is a serious cause of heart disease.
E.These factors can all have an impact on our heart health.

16.解析:选G 上文“As much as 80 percent of early heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices.(多达80%的早期心脏病是可以通过选择特定的生活方式来预防的。)”说明很多早期心脏病可以通过选择特定的生活方式来预防,G项中的“Some strategies”呼应上文提到的specific lifestyle choices,故G项“一些策略,如锻炼和控制体重,都是众所周知的。”符合语境,列举了一些健康的生活方式,some...others...“一些……另一些……”,讲述相对的两个方面。说明一些健康的生活方式是众所周知的,其它的或许你不会想到。故选G。
17.解析:选E 上文“When we are not rested, everything that happens in our life is a lot more stressful. If we don't have enough sleep, our bodies will have difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation(炎症)and glucose levels(血糖水平).( 当我们没有休息的时候,我们生活中发生的每件事会是更有压力的。如果我们没有足够的睡眠,我们的身体将难以控制血压,炎症和血糖水平。)”说明没有充足的睡眠会导致心理和身体健康问题。E项中的“These factors”指代这些问题,E项“这些因素都会对我们的心脏健康产生影响。”符合语境,说明没有充足的睡眠会导致心脏健康问题。故选E。
18.解析:选B 空格处是段落小标题。根据下文“Research showed that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health. By participating in voluntary activities, we can get out of the house and create a social network, thus decreasing feelings of loneliness and naturally preventing heart disease.( 研究表明,孤独是心脏健康的一个风险因素。通过参加志愿活动,我们可以走出家门,建立一个社交网络,从而减少孤独感,自然地预防心脏病。)”说明参加志愿者活动,可以减少孤独感,从而预防心脏病的发生。因此推断B项“参与志愿者工作”为最佳标题。故选B。
19.解析:选C 根据段落标题“Treat depression.(正视抑郁)”可知,本段建议要正确面对抑郁。下文“Not only are we more likely to drink too much alcohol and to avoid exercise, there are also physiological effects of this condition on the body, such as higher levels of blood sugar, which can be associated with poor heart health.(我们不仅更有可能喝太多酒,不锻炼,而且这种情况还会对身体产生生理影响,比如血糖水平升高,这可能与心脏健康状况不佳有关。)”说明抑郁会导致不健康的生活方式,从而对心脏健康不利,C项中的“Depression”与语境相符,“the way we behave”呼应下文的“to drink too much alcohol and to avoid exercise”这些生活方式,因此推断C项“抑郁会影响我们的行为方式。”符合语境,故选C。
20.解析:选F 下文“Choose wholegrain, lowfat breakfast foods and include fruits.( 选择全谷物,低脂的早餐,包括水果。)”讲述健康早餐食物,F项中的“to eat a balanced diet”与之呼应,F项“所以我们需要吃均衡的饮食作为健康生活方式的一部分。”符合语境,与上文“A recent study found that healthy people who didn't have breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who had breakfast regularly.(最近的一项研究发现,不吃早餐的健康的人,六年后患心脏病的可能性几乎是那些经常吃早餐的人的三倍。)”是因果关系,说明不吃早餐容易患心脏病,因此要吃健康的早餐,选择健康的早餐食物。故选F。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了2021年12月9日,中国天宫空间站的宇航员向地球上的中国学生进行了现场科学讲座,希望未来出现更多的宇航员、科学家和工程师。
36.how 考查宾语从句。句意:他们展示了他们如何在空间站工作和生活。结合句意可知,空格处需要how(如何)引导宾语从句,且在从句中作状语。故填how。
37.with 考查介词。句意:讲座是互动式的,因为地面上的学生能够在课堂上与他们实时交流。结合短语communicate with sb.,意为“与某人交流”,填入介词with符合题意。故填with。
38.conditions 考查名词复数。句意:太空环境有许多地面无法提供的特殊条件,还有许多科学实验只能在太空环境中进行。语篇解读句子可知,many special后应该接可数名词复数conditions。故填conditions。
39.demonstrated 考查非谓语动词。句意:虽然宇航员演示的实验并不罕见,但它们可以帮助激发年轻人对科学的热情,普及公众的科学知识。句子谓语动词是系动词are,所以空格处填入非谓语动词,the experiments和demonstrate之间是被动关系,用过去分词短语作后置定语。故填demonstrated。
40.construction 考查名词。句意:随着天宫空间站的建设,中国宇航员也将能够在轨道上长期停留,并在太空中作报告。根据定冠词the及空后of可知,此处需要名词construction(建设)。故填construction。
41.and 考查连词。句意:随着天宫空间站的建设,中国宇航员也将能够在轨道上长期停留,并在太空中作报告。语篇解读句子可知,and连接并列成分stay in orbit for a long time和give lectures from space这两个动词短语。故填and。
42.opening 考查非谓语动词。句意:天宫可以成为太空中的长期教室,为中国和其他国家的人们打开知识之门。句子谓语动词是can become,空格处填入非谓语动词,用现在分词作状语,表示顺其自然的结果。故填opening。
43.gave 考查时态。句意:八年前,神舟十号宇宙飞船的宇航员在太空给中国学生做了第一次讲座。结合时间状语Eight years ago可知,句子时态是一般过去时,动词使用过去式gave。故填gave。
44.clearer 考查形容词比较级。句意:现在,由于中国电信技术的进步,信号更清晰、更稳定。结合and之后的more stable可知,空格处填入形容词比较级。故填clearer。
45.will emerge 考查时态。句意:希望更多的宇航员、科学家和工程师从观看这些讲座的学生中走出来,继续探索未知。结合句意可知,句子时态是一般将来时,构成式是will+动词原形。故填will emerge。

参考答案:
A Memorable Labor Experience
Last Saturday was May Day, when my class participated in the labor practice held in our school vegetable base.
At dawn, we cycled to the base. On arrival, we were shown around by our teacher and then assigned different tasks. Under the teacher's patient instructions, we turned over the soil, weeded, planted vegetables like tomatoes and eggplants and watered them. Looking at lines of young green vegetables, the teacher cheerfully said we'd enjoy our selfgrown vegetables soon, which filled us with a sense of achievement.
The meaningful activity offered us a chance to learn about farming. Besides, though tired, I did feel the pleasure and value of labor.
第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,依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。
The boys in the class talked about what their parents did for a living. Christian was proud of his father, who worked as a chief engineer in a construction company. Paul stood aside and said nothing. Then Christian asked him whom his father worked for. The boy replied that his father was a carpenter (木匠). Christian joked, saying that while his dad was designing bridges and houses, Paul's dad was making chairs and tables. All the children laughed.
When Christian returned home, he wanted to tell his parents about it. He overheard (无意中听到) their conversation. His dad told his mom that Christian's uncle had lost his job. Mom asked why Dad couldn't take him to his company. “My company needs a design engineer, and Bill is a driver. Yes, I know that he is a skilled person in his field, but be can't design projects. In a few months, a new project will start, we will need diver, and I will recommend him for sure.”
Christian decided that it wasn't the right time to tell the joke and went to his room. A week later, Christian's dad was picking him up from his baseball practice. They stopped for pizza and everyone was very happy. Dad and Christian were in the car when a large garbage (垃圾) truck pulled up in front of them. A man got out of it, pulled out bags from the garbage cans of the pizza shop and loaded them into the truck. Christian's dad sounded the car bell and waved his hand at the man. He smiled and waved his hand back. Christian recognized Uncle Bill, whom his parents had been talking about a few days ago. The garbage truck left, and Christian asked his father why his uncle was driving a garbage truck. Dad explained that Uncle Bill's shipping company had closed down. He was working as a garbage truck drive, but soon Dad would take him to his company, because good drivers were important in construction.

参考答案:
Christian told the story from school to his dad and asked him to stay away from Uncle Bill. Then he added that it would be better not to invite Uncle Bill for a while, because he smelled bad. Christian expected his dad to laugh and praise him for his excellent sense of humor. But Dad became very unhappy. He put his hand on his son's shoulder and said seriously, “Never laugh at a person for doing honest work. Uncle Bill will visit us next week. Be sure you're nice to him.”
“I also used to wash dishes to feed myself,” his dad said. “Everyone does different things. You can never know what can happen in your life. Everyone has highs and lows in their lifetime. And any honest work is important and better than stealing. Do you understand?” These words stayed in Christian's memory for life. He apologized to Paul for what he said about his father and has shown respect to people doing all sorts of jobs ever since.
