Samsung Electronics America announced that Galaxy device owners can make their own repairs to the Galaxy S20 and S21 family of products, as well as the Galaxy Tab S7+, starting August 2nd.
Samsung is cooperating with iFixit, the leading online repair community, to deliver their Self-Repair program. This program adds to Samsung’s continued expansions for convenient repair for consumers and helps them with sustainable solutions to support a more circular economy by extending the life of their devices, as well as minimizing e-waste.
Samsung consumers who wish to make their own repairs can now purchase real device parts and convenient, easy-to-use repair tools, available through iFixit, Samsung retail (零售) and service locations, at the same pricing offered to our repair providers. In addition, Galaxy device owners will have full access to online repair guides that provide both visual and written step-by-step instructions, and best of all, at no cost.
“Making replacement parts available is a key sustainability strategy. We’re excited to be working directly with Samsung and their customers to extend the lifetime of their phones,” said CEO of iFixit.
Starting today, Galaxy device owners can replace the phone screen, back glass, and charging ports. In the future, Samsung plans to expand self-repair to include more devices and repair options from our extensive product portfolio (档案).
Furthermore, the program makes it easy for consumers to return their thrown-away parts for responsible recycling, as the new display kits will come with a return label to ship thrown-away parts back to Samsung — at no cost to the consumer.
In addition to the convenience of these new self-repair options, Galaxy smartphone owners have a choice on how they can extend the life of their devices across Samsung’s expansive care options, including: Through Samsung’s perfect care network, customers have access to over 11,000 Samsung Mobile certified repair technicians in the U.S.
1. Who will do the repair work under the Self-Repair program?
A. The iFixit community. B. The Galaxy consumers.

主旨大意题。通读全文,文章第一段指出三星宣布Galaxy设备用户可以自助维修Galaxy部分产品;第二段介绍三星与iFixit开展了用户自助维修计划;第三至第五段主要介绍该计划能够为用户提供的自助维修服务。所以本文主要介绍三星与iFixit的合作,则C项“一项成功的合作”最适合作为本文的标题。故选C项。
B
Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo is best known for big public art pieces. The artist carves hundreds of 20 -centimeter-tall ice figures seated with their ankles crossed and places them atop outdoor steps and puts them in city squares all over the world, where they quickly melt. The faceless sculptures drip and pool into small puddles as time passes. Her works have been adopted by environmentalists as a kind of activist art against climate change.
But is it? Yes and (mostly) no.
The mass of melting bodies makes a natural connection to the threat humankind faces due to rising global temperatures. “Its close link with that subject is evident,” said the artist. In addition to the threat of global warming itself, the sheer number of sculptures sitting together also calls attention to the fact that we humans are all in it together. “Such kind of threats also finally put man in his place, his fate is along with the destiny of the planet, and he is not the ‘king’ of nature, but an essential element of it,” continues Azevedo on her website.
“I took every characteristic of traditional monuments and made the opposite,” she says. “I made small figures that sit on the floor. It doesn’t honor anybody. It does honor the unknown.”
Azevedo explains, “In a few-minute action, the rules of the monument are inverted: in the place of the hero, the unknown; in the place of the solidity of the stone, the momentary process of the ice; in the place of the monument size, the minimum size of the perishable (易毁坏的) bodies.” Originally Azevedo wanted her art to get people thinking about impermanence, and the sight of ice transforming into a puddle of water certainly does that brilliantly.
5. What can we learn about Néle Azevedo’s artworks?
A. They are put in public places for artists to appreciate.
B. They are adopted as a way of showing artistic talents.
C. They are linked with the threat of climate change.
D. They are considered as a symbol of unity.
6. Which of the following can best replace the word “inverted” in paragraph 5 ?
A. kept track of B. turned upside down
C. laid emphasis on D. taken into account
7. What can be inferred about the square show from the last paragraph?
A. It is permanent by nature.
B. It lacks practical influence.
C. It takes long to see the results.
D It conveys the artist’s exact intention.
8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Public Interest in Contemporary Art
B. Ice Figures Transforming into Water
C. Responsibility Demanded of Activist Artists
D. Mini Sculptures Echoing the Climate Crisis
【答案】5. C 6. B 7. D 8. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了巴西艺术家Néle Azevedo的冰雕作品,她的作品被视作一种对抗气候变化的艺术。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Her works have been adopted by environmentalists as a kind of activist art against climate change.(她的作品被环保主义者奉为一种对抗气候变化的激进艺术。)”可知,她的作品与气候变化的威胁有关。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的“I took every characteristic of traditional monuments and made the opposite(我利用了传统纪念碑的每一个特点,并做了相反的东西)”和第五段的“in the place of the hero, the unknown; in the place of the solidity of the stone, the momentary process of the ice; in the place of the monument size, the minimum size of the perishable (易毁坏的) bodies(代替英雄的,是无名之人;在石头坚固的地方,冰的瞬间变化;在放置纪念碑的地方,是最小尺寸的易腐尸体)”可知,纪念碑规则被颠倒了,划线词inverted的意思是“颠倒的”,和turned upside down意思相近,故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Originally Azevedo wanted her art to get people thinking about impermanence, and the sight of ice transforming into a puddle of water certainly does that brilliantly.(最初,Azevedo希望她的艺术作品能让人们思考无常,而冰变成水坑的景象无疑出色地做到了这一点。)”可知,她在广场上展示的作品传达了这位艺术家的确切意图,也就是让人们思考。故选D。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“The artist carves hundreds of 20 -centimeter-tall ice figures seated with their ankles crossed and places them atop outdoor steps and puts them in city squares all over the world, where they quickly melt. The faceless sculptures drip and pool into small puddles as time passes. Her works have been adopted by environmentalists as a kind of activist art against climate change.(这位艺术家雕刻了数百个20厘米高、脚踝交叉坐在一起的冰人,把它们放在户外台阶上,放在世界各地的城市广场上,它们很快就会融化。随着时间的推移,这些没有面孔的雕塑滴入小水坑。她的作品被环保主义者奉为一种对抗气候变化的激进艺术。)”可知,本文主要讲的是巴西艺术家Néle Azevedo的冰雕作品,她的作品被视作一种对抗气候变化的艺术,因此最好的题目是B选项“Ice Figures Transforming into Water(冰人变成水)”。故选B。
第二节 阅读下面短文,从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。
Getting into a new place to live is a very exciting time. ____9____ Having a place to call your own gives you a great feeling of independence. The question that arises when looking for an apartment or home to live in is, “Is it better to rent or lease.” Both options have advantages and disadvantages. ____10____
Renting is a simple process that usually does not require the person to stay in that space for a specific length of time. In California, and in most states, this is called month-to-month rental agreement. ____11____ The property owner is also likely to ask for a security or cleaning deposit, or both. The advantage of a month-to-month rental is that the renter can get out of the agreement by simply giving the owner one-month notice to vacate (搬离). ____12____ If the owner asks the renter to leave, all he or she has to do is to ask the renter to vacate in 30 days.
A lease works a bit differently. It’s usually signed for one year, so both the renter and the landlord agree to a pre-determined length of time the renter will occupy the unit. ____13____ After that, it works much like renting. There are consequences on the part of both parties if the lease is terminated (终止) early though, so it is better to wait your lease out than to terminate it early.
A. The same applies to the owner.
B. This is especially true if the person is a first-time renter.
C. More information about renting and lease can be easily found on internet.
D. The best way to make this decision is to base it on your own personal situation.
E. The new renter has to ensure the flat is in good condition when the time is due.
F. A landlord will generally require the new renter to pay two months of rent in advance.
G. The renter signs a contract agreeing not to move out of the home for the one-year period.
【答案】9. B 10. D 11. F 12. A 13. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是两种不同的租房方式。
【9题详解】
空格前说“Getting into a new place to live is a very exciting time.(进入一个新的地方生活是一个非常令人兴奋的时刻。)”,空格后说“Having a place to call your own gives you a great feeling of independence.(有一个属于自己的地方会给你一种独立的感觉。)”,说明对一个第一次租房的人来说这更令人激动,B选项“This is especially true if the person is a first-time renter. (尤其是初次租房的人。)”说明了对第一次租房的人这尤其令人兴奋,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选B。
【10题详解】
空格前说“The question that arises when looking for an apartment or home to live in is, “Is it better to rent or lease.” Both options have advantages and disadvantages.(当你在找公寓或房子住的时候,出现的问题是:“短租还是长租更好?”这两种选择都有优点和缺点。)”,空格处应说要如何做决定,D选项“The best way to make this decision is to base it on your own personal situation. (做出这个决定的最好方法是基于你自己的情况。)”说明了做决定的方法,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选D。
【11题详解】
空格前说“In California, and in most states, this is called month-to-month rental agreement.(在加州和大多数州,这被称为按月租赁协议。)”,F选项“A landlord will generally require the new renter to pay two months of rent in advance. (房东一般会要求新租客预付两个月的租金。)”说明了租金是按月收的,和前面“按月租赁”相一致,因此F选项承接上文,符合语境,故选F。
【12题详解】
空格前说“The advantage of a month-to-month rental is that the renter can get out of the agreement by simply giving the owner one-month notice to vacate(按月租房的好处是,租客只需提前一个月通知房东就可以退出协议。)”,空格后说“If the owner asks the renter to leave, all he or she has to do is to ask the renter to vacate in 30 days.(如果业主要求租客离开,他或她所要做的就是要求租客在30天内搬走。)”,空格处要表达的意思是“对于业主,情况也是一样”,A选项“The same applies to the owner. (这同样适用于业主。)”承上启下,说明前面的情况对后者也一样,故选A。
【13题详解】
空前说“It’s usually signed for one year, so both the renter and the landlord agree to a pre-determined length of time the renter will occupy the unit. (合同通常签一年,所以租赁者和房东都同意租赁者入住公寓的时间。)”,说明房子要租一年,G选项“The renter signs a contract agreeing not to move out of the home for the one-year period. (承租人签订合同,同意在一年内不搬离房子。)”说明了这种租房方式是要租一年的,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选G。

第二节(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

30. However
31. grandchildren##grandchild
32. supportive##supporters
33. who 34. to go
35. than 36. is titled
37. fifth 38. included
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了99岁高龄的Priscilla Sitienei仍然在教室里和其他学生一起学习的故事。
【29题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在肯尼亚大裂谷乡村的一间教室里,一名和她的同学一起做笔记学生令人印象深刻。“_______ (take) notes alongside her classmates”作后置定语,修饰名词a student。动词take notes和其逻辑主语a student之间是主动关系,应该用现在分词。故填taking。
【30题详解】
考查副词。句意:她穿着同样的校服——灰色的裙子和绿色的毛衣。然而有一点不同。Priscilla Sitienei比他们年长80多岁。根据句意,上一句讲“the same”,下句讲“one difference”,上下文有转折关系,且该空以逗号和句子主干隔开,应用表转折的连接副词however;句首单词首字母大写。故填However。
【31题详解】
考查名词。句意:她说,她回到课堂是为了给她的曾孙们树立一个好榜样。grandchild是可数名词。上下文中并没有提到她有几个曾孙,可能一个,也可能不止一个。因此该处既可以用复数名词,也可用单数名词。故填grandchildren/grandchild。
【32题详解】
考查形容词。句意:她补充说,她的家人都支持她的决定。该空在从句中作表语。表示“支持的”,因此可以用形容词supportive。也可以指“支持者”,因此也可用名词supporter作表语,家人不止一个,应用复数形式supporters。故填supportive/supporters。
【33题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这使得一些年轻时错过教育机会的社会老年成员能够重返学校。“_____ had missed out on education in their younger days”是定语从句,修饰先行词some older members,指人,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应该用关系代词who引导从句。故填who。
【34题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这使得一些年轻时错过教育机会的社会老年成员能够重返学校。allow sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事,使得某人可能做某事”,用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to go。
【35题详解】
考查介词。句意:这给Sitienei带来的不仅仅是教育。more than是固定短语,意为“比……更多,超过……,不仅仅”。故填than。
【36题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:它被称为Gogo,在卡伦津语中是祖母的意思。该空在句中作谓语。title作动词,意为“把……称为;给……加标题”。it指的是上一句中的a film。a film和title之间是被动关系。该句是对这部电影名称的介绍,应该用一般现在时态。且主语为it,根据主谓一致原则,谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式。故填is titled。
【37题详解】
考查数词。句意:Sitienei在读小学五年级。表示“小学的第五年”,应用序数词fifth。故填fifth。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她喜欢学校的其他活动,包括体育课。“physical education classes _______ (include)”是独立主格结构。非谓语动词include(包括)与其逻辑主语physical education classes之间是被动关系,应该用过去分词表被动。故填included。
第三节 补全句子(每空1分,满分11分)
39. 大约两小时后,我们都到了山顶。尽管上气不接下气了,但我们看到了美丽的风景。
About 2 hours later, we all reached the mountain top. ________________, we were rewarded with beautiful scenery.
【答案】Though/Although (we were) out of breath/breathless
【解析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句和短语。“尽管上气不接下气了”可处理为though/although引导的让步状语从句,从句主语是we,“上气不接下气”表达为be out of breath/be breathless,句子陈述过去的事情,用一般过去时,主语we是复数,be用were;当主从句主语一致,且从句含be时,可省略从句的主语和be。故填Though/Although (we were) out of breath/breathless。
40. 你们需要一起努力去赢得更多篮球赛,这意味着交流畅通并解决矛盾。(请使用非限制性定语从句)
You need to work together to win more basketball games, ________________.
【答案】which means clear communication and conflict resolution
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和短语。非限制性定语从句修饰上文句子,从句缺少主语,故用which;表示“意味着”用动词mean;表示“交流畅通并解决矛盾”可用clear communication and conflict resolution。根据上文need可知为一般现在时。故填which means clear communication and conflict resolution。
41. 一看到这种情景,她就哭了起来。
________________, she burst into tears.
【答案】On/Upon seeing the sight 或 The moment/The instant/As soon as she saw the sight
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和状语从句。表示“一……就……”使用on/upon doing或the moment/the instant/as soon as引导时间状语从句,“看到这种情景”使用动词短语see the sight,结合burst可知使用一般过去时,故填On/Upon seeing the sight 或 The moment/The instant/As soon as she saw the sight。

【解析】
【详解】考查时态和固定短语。空处需要翻译“呼吁人们采取行动”,表示“呼吁某人做某事”用call on sb. to do sth.或appeal to sb. to do sth.,表示“人们”用people,作宾语;表示“采取行动”用take action,用不定式,作宾补;根据brought可知,句子时态为一般过去时,本空用动词的过去式called或appealed,与brought并列,作谓语。故填:called on people to take action/appealed to people to take action。

【答案】with which a well was built
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句、名词,动词和时态语态。对比中英文可知,空处表示“用这些钱建造了一口井”,其中的“这些钱”指前面提到的the $2,000,因此可用意为“用”的介词with和关系代词which搭配,构成“介词+关系代词”的结构,引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词the $2,000作补充说明,从句描述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时,“建造了一口井”可理解为“一口井被建造了”,用被动语态,主语“一口井”应用名词a well,为单数,谓语“被建造了”可用动词build的被动形式was built。故填with which a well was built。

Samsung Electronics America announced that Galaxy device owners can make their own repairs to the Galaxy S20 and S21 family of products, as well as the Galaxy Tab S7+, starting August 2nd.

In addition to the convenience of these new self-repair options, Galaxy smartphone owners have a choice on how they can extend the life of their devices across Samsung’s expansive care options, including: Through Samsung’s perfect care network, customers have access to over 11,000 Samsung Mobile certified repair technicians in the U.S.

Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo is best known for big public art pieces. The artist carves hundreds of 20 -centimeter-tall ice figures seated with their ankles crossed and places them atop outdoor steps and puts them in city squares all over the world, where they quickly melt. The faceless sculptures drip and pool into small puddles as time passes. Her works have been adopted by environmentalists as a kind of activist art against climate change.
But is it? Yes and (mostly) no.
The mass of melting bodies makes a natural connection to the threat humankind faces due to rising global temperatures. “Its close link with that subject is evident,” said the artist. In addition to the threat of global warming itself, the sheer number of sculptures sitting together also calls attention to the fact that we humans are all in it together. “Such kind of threats also finally put man in his place, his fate is along with the destiny of the planet, and he is not the ‘king’ of nature, but an essential element of it,” continues Azevedo on her website.
“I took every characteristic of traditional monuments and made the opposite,” she says. “I made small figures that sit on the floor. It doesn’t honor anybody. It does honor the unknown.”
Azevedo explains, “In a few-minute action, the rules of the monument are inverted: in the place of the hero, the unknown; in the place of the solidity of the stone, the momentary process of the ice; in the place of the monument size, the minimum size of the perishable (易毁坏的) bodies.” Originally Azevedo wanted her art to get people thinking about impermanence, and the sight of ice transforming into a puddle of water certainly does that brilliantly.
5. What can we learn about Néle Azevedo’s artworks?
A. They are put in public places for artists to appreciate.
B. They are adopted as a way of showing artistic talents.
C. They are linked with the threat of climate change.
D They are considered as a symbol of unity.
6. Which of the following can best replace the word “inverted” in paragraph 5 ?
A. kept track of B. turned upside down
C. laid emphasis on D. taken into account
7. What can be inferred about the square show from the last paragraph?
A. It is permanent by nature.
B. It lacks practical influence.
C. It takes long to see the results.
D. It conveys the artist’s exact intention.
8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Public Interest in Contemporary Art
B. Ice Figures Transforming into Water
C. Responsibility Demanded of Activist Artists
D. Mini Sculptures Echoing the Climate Crisis
第二节 阅读下面短文,从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。
Getting into a new place to live is a very exciting time. ____9____ Having a place to call your own gives you a great feeling of independence. The question that arises when looking for an apartment or home to live in is, “Is it better to rent or lease.” Both options have advantages and disadvantages. ____10____
Renting is a simple process that usually does not require the person to stay in that space for a specific length of time. In California, and in most states, this is called month-to-month rental agreement. ____11____ The property owner is also likely to ask for a security or cleaning deposit, or both. The advantage of a month-to-month rental is that the renter can get out of the agreement by simply giving the owner one-month notice to vacate (搬离). ____12____ If the owner asks the renter to leave, all he or she has to do is to ask the renter to vacate in 30 days.
A lease works a bit differently. It’s usually signed for one year, so both the renter and the landlord agree to a pre-determined length of time the renter will occupy the unit. ____13____ After that, it works much like renting. There are consequences on the part of both parties if the lease is terminated (终止) early though, so it is better to wait your lease out than to terminate it early.
A. The same applies to the owner.
B. This is especially true if the person is a first-time renter.
C. More information about renting and lease can be easily found on internet.
D. The best way to make this decision is to base it on your own personal situation.
E. The new renter has to ensure the flat is in good condition when the time is due.
F. A landlord will generally require the new renter to pay two months of rent in advance.
G. The renter signs a contract agreeing not to move out of the home for the one-year period.
