Today we have a warm story about a young girl named Samantha. One year ago, her project on the environment became well-known around our town. Now, a story about her dog is inspiring us again. Last year, she bought her dog Rover from a pet shop in another city. One day last month, she left Rover alone in her house. But when she came back, she couldn’t find him. She was so sad. So Samantha posted information online and searched local parks with some volunteers. Two weeks ago, she came into our studio to make a news announcement. This was the first time I met Samantha. Finally, because of Samantha’s various efforts, Rover has been found. This morning, a man saw a dog while he was working on his farm 100 kilometers north of town. Then, he recognized Rover from the news. He got Rover on his truck and drove him to our TV station. Now, he’s here with Rover. We are waiting for Samantha here, and we’ll update the end of this story — so don’t go anywhere! But first, let’s look at the weather conditions tomorrow. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸 上将该项涂黑。 A Lord of the Flies An airplane evacuating schoolboys from Britain during World War II is shot down over a remote tropical area.

John Knowles is the author of A Separate Peace, a classic story about friendship and adolescence.”（两人成了朋友，但战争和竞争导致了一场悲剧。John Knowles是A Separate Peace的作者，这是一部关于友谊和青春期的经典故事。）可知，A Separate Peace也讲了竞争，是一部关于友谊和青春期的经典故事，由此可知，涵盖了青春期和竞争的主题的两本书是Lord of the Flies和A Separate Peace。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Of Mice and Men”部分关键句“Lennie is a simple-minded gentle giant who doesn’t know his own strength and often gets into trouble. When tragedy strike, George must make am awful decision that will alter the plans he and Lennie have made for their future.”（Lennie是一个头脑简单、温柔的巨人，他不知道自己的力量，经常陷入困境。当悲剧发生时，George必须做出一个可怕的决定，这将改变他和Lennie为他们的未来所做的计划。）可知，因为巨人Lennie无法管理自己的力量，所以经常打乱乔治的未来计划。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”部分关键句“Together they sail down the Mississippi River on a raft and experience dangerous as well as comical adventures along the way.”（他们一起乘木筏沿着密西西比河航行，一路上经历了危险和滑稽的冒险。）可知，这本书中描述了危险和滑稽的冒险，由此可知，The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn包含了幽默元素。故选D项。 B Last weekend, I said goodbye to another dear old friend. We had 12 fine years together, but our relationship was becoming dysfunctional(不正常的). Unwanted emissions and serious health problems were the final straw, leaving me with no choice but to make a trip to the knacker’s(收废汽车者的)yard. I am now car-free for the first time in 20 years, and it feels strange. When I gave up meat, I did so mainly for environmental reasons, and I didn’t miss it at all. I would like to say the same about my car, but I can’t. It was first and foremost a financial decision: keeping the old car on the road was getting too expensive. But doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is still doing the right thing — I now have a chance to rethink how I move myself and my family around, and can try to find a more environmentally friendly means of transport. Going car-free is, I think, a lifestyle change that many of us are going to make over the next few years, as car ownership becomes increasingly unnecessary, expensive and socially unacceptable. However, it is easier said than done. Now my car is gone. I still need to get around. But how? I already cycle to work and use public transport when appropriate. But there are some occasions when a car seems to be the only way. I won’t buy one: I have joined a car-share program and will use taxis more often. I will hire a car if I need to drive a long distance. But then I am still travelling in fossil-fuelled cars(燃油汽车), like when I quit meat and ended up eating more cheese. I fear I may have swapped one environmental problem for another. I am also afraid to think about the ultimate fate of my car. I have just offloaded more than a ton of metal, plastic, rubber, fabric, electronics, oil and petrol that will end up in a landfill. There are millions of similar vehicles in the UK alone that will have to go somewhere. Maybe I am overthinking it. According to Charlie Wilson, a climate scientist at the UK’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, getting rid of a private car is no doubt a positive step to reduce CO2 emissions. He points to research by the OECD’s International Transport Forum. “They showed that moving from a private vehicle fleet(车队)to a shared vehicle fleet can greatly cut the number of vehicles you need to deliver the mobility that we need and want. If that vehicle fleet is electrified, you can also bring CO2 emissions close to zero.” So in other words, just get rid of your car. 24. What do we know about the author’s car? A. It was old. B. It was green. C. It was his first car. D. It was a second-hand car. 25. What do the author’s giving up meat and saying goodbye to his car have in common? A. He did both for the wrong reasons. B. He thinks both help him save money. C. He considers both are right decisions. D. He did both out of concern for the environment. 26. What does the author fear? A. He may have to spend more on travel. B. His lifestyle might be changed completely. C. He might get bored with public transportation. D. His decision may fail to help the environment. 27. What does Charlie Wilson say? A It is wise to do away with old private cars. B. It is very easy to deal with old private cars. C. Electric cars are the solution to traffic problems. D. The OECD plays a key role in promoting car-sharing. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述作者因为经济原因废弃掉了自己的旧车，也没有买新的车，但是不管是什么原因作者认为是做了正确的事情，他认为这可以有助于减少二氧化碳的排放，为环境做出贡献。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We had 12 fine years together, but our relationship was becoming dysfunctional(不正常的).(我们一起度过了美好的十二年，但是我们的关系渐渐变的不正常)”可知，作者的车很老了。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is still doing the right thing…(但是出于错误的原因做正确的事情，仍然是做正确的事……)”可知，作者认为不管是戒肉还是跟车说再见都是正确的事情。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But then I am still travelling in fossil-fuelled cars(燃油汽车), like when I quit meat and ended up eating more cheese. I fear I may have swapped one environmental problem for another.(但是我仍然使用燃油汽车，就像当我不吃肉了，结果最后吃更多的奶酪一样。我害怕我可能已经把一个环境问题，换成另一个了)”可知，作者担心他的决定可能对环境无益。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“According to Charlie Wilson, a climate scientist at the UK’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, getting rid of a private car is no doubt a positive step to reduce CO2 emissions.(根据一位英国廷德尔气候变化研究中心的气候科学家Charlie Wilson所说，摆脱私家车无疑是一个减少二氧化碳排放的积极的步骤)”以及最后一段引号里的话“They showed that moving from a private vehicle fleet(车队)to a shared vehicle fleet can greatly cut the number of vehicles you need to deliver the mobility that we need and want. If that vehicle fleet is electrified, you can also bring CO2 emissions close to zero(他们表明，从私人车队转向共享车队可以大大减少我们需要和想要的交通工具的数量。如果车队是电动的，你也可以使排放量接近于零)”可知，Charlie Wilson认为抛弃旧的私家车是明智的。故选A。 C Music is good for health. And drumming may be best of all. As well as being physically demanding, it requires people to synchronize their arms and legs and to react to outside stimuli (刺激物) , such as what the rest of the band is up to. It is particularly helpful for children who have emotional and behavioral difficulties. Researchers at the Clem Burke Drumming Project— an organization named after Blondie’s drummer, who was one of its founders — have shown that teaching such children to drum helps them to control their reactions more generally, to focus more effectively on tasks they are given, and to communicate better with other people. The project’s latest work, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by a team led by Maric-Stephanic Cahart of King’s College, London, goes a step further. It looks at the neurological changes which accompany these shifts. Ms. Cahart and her colleagues recruited 36 autistic (自闭症的) teenagers and split them into two groups. One lot had drum lessons twice a week for eight weeks. The others did not. At the beginning and end of the project everyone was asked to stay still for 45 minutes in a functional magnetic-resonance imaging (FMRI) machine, to see how the activity of their brains had changed. Their behavior, as reported by their guardians, was also recorded. As expected, most of the drumming group showed positive behavioral changes. And these were indeed reflected in their brains. The FMRI scans showed that several groups of connectivity between parts of those brains had strengthened during the experiment. In particular. two regions involved in attention control, the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (背外侧前额叶皮层) and the right inferior frontal gyrus (额下回) , formed strong links. respectively, with places associated with self-examination and with areas involved in understanding facial expressions. These changes in the brain’s “wetware” thus nicely match the changes in behavior which learning to drum causes. Not a surprise, perhaps. But a gratifying confirmation of drumming’s power to heal. 28. What does the underlined word “synchronize” in the first paragraph mean? A. work together well with each other. B. react to the beat of the drum. C. move something up and down. D. swing body from side to side. 29. The passage mentions the benefits of drumming in the following aspects except ___________. A. social skills. B. reaction control. C. music sense D. attention control. 30. According to the article, which one of the following is wrong? A. Drumming is beneficial to children with emotional and behavioral problems. B. Ms. Cahart and her team focused on the benefits drumming could bring to children. C. In the experiment, researchers recorded the subjects’ changes reported by their guardians. D. Behavioral changes learning to drum causes are in line with changes in the brain’s “wetware” 31. What is the purpose of this text? A. To give a definition. B. To explain a phenomenon. C. To introduce a solution. D. To report a finding. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了打鼓对健康益处显著，尤其对有情绪和行为障碍的儿童有益，相关团队以自闭症青少年为对象展开打鼓实验，发现打鼓不仅让受试者产生积极的行为改变，其大脑相关区域的神经连接也得到增强，这一研究结果印证了打鼓的身心疗愈作用。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“As well as being physically demanding, it requires people to synchronize their arms and legs and to react to outside stimuli (刺激物) , such as what the rest of the band is up to.(打鼓不仅对体能有要求，还需要人们做到手脚synchronize，同时对外部刺激做出反应，比如乐队其他成员的演奏节奏)”可知，打鼓不仅耗费体力，还要求人们让手脚……，同时对外部刺激做出反应。结合打鼓的场景，由此可推测，“synchronize”在此处意为“使…… 协调、配合”，即手脚彼此配合良好。选项A“work together well with each other”意为“与……配合良好”，与此相符。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Researchers at the Clem Burke Drumming Project— an organization named after Blondie’s drummer, who was one of its founders — have shown that teaching such children to drum helps them to control their reactions more generally, to focus more effectively on tasks they are given, and to communicate better with other people.( Clem Burke打鼓项目以金发女郎乐队的鼓手命名，他也是该项目的创始人之一。该项目的研究人员发现，教这类儿童打鼓，能帮助他们更好地调控自身的反应，更高效地专注于分配的任务，同时提升与他人的沟通能力)”可知，打鼓能帮助孩子控制反应、集中注意力、更好地与人沟通。文章全文未提及打鼓对乐感的益处。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The project’s latest work, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by a team led by Maric-Stephanic Cahart of King’s College, London, goes a step further. It looks at the neurological changes which accompany these shifts. (伦敦国王学院的Maric-Stephanic Cahart带领研究团队完成了该项目的最新研究，相关成果发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上。这项研究更深入了一步，探究了伴随这些行为改变而发生的神经层面的变化)”以及第四段“Ms. Cahart and her colleagues recruited 36 autistic (自闭症的) teenagers and split them into two groups.( Cahart博士及其同事招募了36名自闭症青少年，并将他们分为两组)”可知，Cahart 女士及其团队的研究核心是探究打鼓带来的行为改变所伴随的神经层面变化，且实验对象为自闭症青少年，并非单纯聚焦打鼓给儿童带来的益处，故选项B表述错误。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The project’s latest work, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by a team led by Maric-Stephanic Cahart of King’s College, London, goes a step further. It looks at the neurological changes which accompany these shifts.(伦敦国王学院的Maric-Stephanic Cahart带领研究团队完成了该项目的最新研究，相关成果发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上。这项研究更深入了一步，探究了伴随这些行为改变而发生的神经层面的变化)”以及最后一段“These changes in the brain’s “wetware” thus nicely match the changes in behavior which learning to drum causes. Not a surprise, perhaps. But a gratifying confirmation of drumming’s power to heal.(大脑神经组织发生的这些变化，与学习打鼓带来的行为改变完美契合。这一结果或许并不意外，却令人欣慰地印证了打鼓所具备的身心疗愈力量)”可知，本文核心围绕克莱姆・伯克打鼓项目的最新研究展开，详细介绍了针对自闭症青少年的打鼓实验过程、结果，报告了打鼓不仅能带来积极行为改变，还能增强大脑相关区域神经连接的研究发现，并非下定义、单纯解释现象或介绍解决方案。故选D。 D As climate-change models predicted the frequency and intensity (强度) of baking days has increased recently. Records were broken in Europe this week as a heatwave swept the continent. Britain set a new maximum temperature record of 40. 3℃, shattering the 38. 7°C set in 2019. Since the 1980s temperatures have risen in the world’s cooler regions, exposing more people to extreme heat. Meanwhile, population growth has been fastest in the hottest countries, increasing the people affected. To measure heat exposure, we combined two large data sets. The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) produced by the EU’s Earth-observation programme. Copernicus. measures heat at hourly intervals, dividing the world into 865, 000 grid squares The UTCI combines data on air temperature and solar radiation with humidity (湿度) and wind into a single composite (混合物) “feels like” temperature measured in Celsius. We combined these data with the population living in each grid square. Temperatures above 38°C cause “very strong” heat stress. Temperatures above 46°C cause “extreme” stress. Just 30 minutes of very strong heat stress can harm lives, particularly among the old. Although many people have endured heat above 38°C this week, it remains exceptional. Over the past five years, the average European has experienced such heat for just three days a year. But elsewhere it is the norm: people outside Europe endure similar conditions for 65 days each year. Extreme heat above 46°C is remarkably common, too. Averagely, it occurs for three days per year for each person on Earth. But the frequency is much higher in Africa and parts of Asia, particularly the Indian subcontinent. An average person living in these two continents has recently experienced such heat for 4. 9 days a year, a 30% rise compared with 1980 to 1984. High population growth in Africa and Asia means that heat stress is now affecting more people. The time that people have felt very strong heat stress has risen by 50%. Two-thirds of those who suffer extreme heat live in countries where average annual incomes are below $2, 000, meaning many cannot afford air-conditioning. Europeans should spare a thought for them as they swelter in the sun. 32. According to the article, which one of the following is true? A. Extreme heat exposure will lead to climate change. B. Cool countries see greater chances of population growth. C. Strong exposure to heat may pose a big threat to the old. D. People in Europe experience heat longer than those in Africa. 33. How are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 developed? A. Defining a concept. B. Making a comparison. C. Giving an example. D. Describing an experiment. 34. What is the author’s attitude to extreme heat? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Concerned. 35. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Fight against extreme heat immediately. B. Heatwaves hit people across the globe. C. Population growth leads to hot days. D. Extreme heat calls for air-conditioning. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍全球极端高温天气加剧的现状、测量方式及对不同地区人群的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Just 30 minutes of very strong heat stress can harm lives, particularly among the old.(仅仅30分钟的强热应激就会危及生命，尤其是老年人。)”可知，强烈的高温暴露可能对老年人构成巨大威胁。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To measure heat exposure, we combined two large data sets. The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) produced by the EU’s Earth-observation programme. Copernicus. measures heat at hourly intervals, dividing the world into 865, 000 grid squares(为了测量高温暴露情况，我们结合了两个大型数据集。欧盟地球观测计划哥白尼产生的通用热气候指数(UTCI)按小时测量热量，将世界划分为86.5万个网格。)”和第四段中的“The UTCI combines data on air temperature and solar radiation with humidity (湿度) and wind into a single composite (混合物) “feels like” temperature measured in Celsius. We combined these data with the population living in each grid square.(通用热气候指数将气温、太阳辐射、湿度和风力数据结合成一个以摄氏度为单位的综合‘体感’温度。我们将这些数据与每个网格内的居住人口结合起来。)”可知，第三、四段详细描述了测量高温暴露的具体实验方法和操作过程，是通过描述实验的方式展开的。A项下定义仅涉及UTCI概念，未涵盖两段核心；B项两段无对比内容；C项无具体举例。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的 “Britain set a new maximum temperature record of 40.3℃, shattering the 38.7°C set in 2019 (英国创下 40.3℃的最高气温新纪录，打破了 2019 年 38.7℃的纪录)”，第六段中的“Over the past five years, the average European has experienced such heat for just three days a year. But elsewhere it is the norm: people outside Europe endure similar conditions for 65 days each year (在过去五年里，欧洲人平均每年仅经历 3 天这样的高温。但在其他地区，这已是常态：欧洲以外的人群每年要忍受 65 天的类似高温天气)”，第七段中的“An average person living in these two continents has recently experienced such heat for 4.9 days a year, a 30% rise compared with 1980 to 1984 (如今这两个大洲的人群平均每年要经历 4.9 天的极端高温，较 1980 至 1984 年上升了 30%)”，第八段中的“The time that people have felt very strong heat stress has risen by 50%(人们遭遇强高温胁迫的时长上升了 50%)”等内容可知，作者通篇使用具体、精准的客观数据，客观陈述欧洲、非洲、亚洲等不同地区的高温频率、受影响时长及变化幅度；同时客观介绍 UTCI 的测量方法、高温胁迫的分级标准等事实，全程未表达自身的担忧、赞同、反对等主观态度，仅对全球极端高温问题进行客观的事实阐述与数据呈现。因此作者对极端高温的态度是客观的。故选 A 项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇以欧洲热浪打破气温纪录引出话题，随后介绍了全球气候凉爽地区气温上升、炎热国家人口增长加剧高温影响，接着说明高温的测量方式，再通过数据对比欧洲与其他地区、非洲亚洲的高温暴露情况，最后指出低收入国家人群受极端高温影响更严重。全文围绕“全球各地的人们都受到热浪侵袭”这一核心展开，为最佳标题。故选B项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The whole world changes around them: actors, singers, models. athletes and TV personalities. If I go through Instagram, Snapchat or any social media news feed (新闻推送). I get too familiar with their lives. ___36___ What I can’t see is what their big contribution to the world is other than entertainment. By idolizing (崇拜) the entertainment industry so much, we sometimes completely forget about the things that are truly important and that are changing our world. Imagine if the money that every Hollywood actor and director makes went into medical research and pharmaceuticals. It would be so much easier for scientists to diagnose (诊断) diseases and unknown viruses. So if it would benefit the world so much to invest all of our time and attention toward scientists, why don’t we do it? ___37___ First of all, we like being entertained. Most people might not praise scientists because it’s not something entertainment. People will care more about Brad Pitt’s upcoming new movie, rather than NASA’s most current space exploration that might change the way we live our lives. ___38___ It’s because we simply like being entertained. It’s easier to care about simple things rather than scientific, complicated ones. Another reason is that most scientists don’t like being in the spotlight. There are studies that have identified the personality features of people most likely to become scientists. ___39___ Even if we gave them that much attention, they wouldn’t be so excited to be followed by paparazzi (狗仔) all day or get invited to events every weekend. They’re busy people, which explains why they haven’t attracted the media the same way that performers have. Therefore, it’s very unlikely that scientists will ever become the “celebrities (名人)” of modern days. Even in the middle of a pandemic (疫情) science is still not as popular as entertainment. ___40___ Studies have shown that young people are more interested in a scientific career as a result of COVID-19. Maybe that’s the start of the development of a different point of view against science for future generations. A. That’s not because we’re careless human beings. B. They’re mostly reserved, quiet and like to have privacy. C. Scientists seem to be selfless, hard-working and devoted people D. I have nothing against the entertainment industry and celebrities. E. However, interest in science has definitely risen since the pandemic began. F. It seems as if entertainment has become the most important thing that the world cares about. G. Why don’t we make scientists our new “celebrities,” if they are the ones that deserve it the most? 【答案】36. D 37. G 38. A 39. B 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者指出社交媒体充斥娱乐名人生活，认为科学家更值得被追捧，分析了人们更关注娱乐、科学家不喜聚光灯的原因，虽科学难成主流焦点，但疫情让人们对科学的兴趣有所提升。 【36题详解】 前文“The whole world changes around them: actors singers, models. athletes and TV personalities. If I go through Instagram, Snapchat or any social media news feed (新闻推送) . I get too familiar with their lives.(整个世界都在他们身边发生着变化：演员、歌手、模特、运动员和电视节目主持人。如果我浏览一下 Instagram、Snapchat 或任何社交媒体的新闻推送，我会对他们的生活变得非常熟悉。)”说社交媒体满是明星名流的生活，后文“What I can’t see is what their big contribution to the world is other than entertainment.(但我看不到的是，除了娱乐之外，他们对世界做出的真正重大贡献是什么。)”转折说 “除了娱乐，看不到他们对世界的重大贡献”。空格需承上启下，先表明对娱乐行业和名人无抵触，再引出对其价值的思考，D项“I have nothing against the entertainment industry and celebrities.(我并不反对娱乐行业和名人。)”完美衔接，消除语气的突兀感。故选D项。 【37题详解】 前文“So if it would benefit the world so much to invest all of our time and attention toward scientists, why don’t we do it?(所以，如果把我们所有的精力和注意力都投入到科学家身上会如此有益于世界，我们为什么不这样做呢？)”提出把娱乐行业的资源投入科研会让世界受益，并用反问“为何不这么做”引发思考，空格需承接这一反问，进一步深化核心问题 —— 为何不把科学家当作新的“名人”。G项“Why don’t we make scientists our new “celebrities,” if they are the ones that deserve it the most?(如果科学家是最值得的人，我们为何不把他们当作新的名人？)”与前文反问句式呼应，紧扣“重视科学家”的核心，引出后文原因分析。故选G项。 【38题详解】 前文“People will care more about Brad Pitt’s upcoming new movie, rather than NASA’s most current space exploration that might change the way we live our lives.(人们会更关注布拉德·皮特即将上映的新电影，而非美国国家航空航天局当前正在进行的可能改变我们生活方式的太空探索项目。)”说人们更关注明星而非科学家的科研成就，后文“It’s because we simply like being entertained.(这是因为我们就是喜欢被娱乐。)”直接给出原因“因为我们只是喜欢娱乐”。空格需衔接这一逻辑，先否定“人们粗心”的可能性，再引出真实原因。A项“That’s not because we’re careless human beings.(这并不是因为我们是粗心大意的人。)”用否定句式过渡，与后文的It’s because... 形成经典的“否定错误原因 + 给出真实原因”的逻辑链。故选A项。 【39题详解】 本段主旨是“Another reason is that most scientists don’t like being in the spotlight.(另一个原因是，大多数科学家都不喜欢成为公众关注的焦点。)”说科学家不喜成为焦点，前文“There are studies that have identified the personality features of people most likely to become scientists.(有研究已经确定了最有可能成为科学家的人的个性特征。)”说研究发现了科学家的性格特征，空格需具体说明该性格特征。B 项“They’re mostly reserved, quiet and like to have privacy.( 他们大多内敛、安静，且注重隐私。)”直接描述科学家的性格，解释了为何他们不愿被聚光灯关注，与后文“不喜被狗仔跟随、参加活动”的内容高度契合。故选B项。 【40题详解】 前文“Even in the middle of a pandemic (疫情) science is still not as popular as entertainment.(即使在疫情期间，科学也还没有像娱乐那样受欢迎。)”说“即便疫情期间，科学仍不如娱乐受欢迎”，后文“Studies have shown that young people are more interested in a scientific career as a result of COVID-19.(研究表明，由于新冠疫情，年轻人对科学职业更感兴趣了。)”转折说“疫情让年轻人对科研职业更感兴趣，或成观念转变的开端”。空格需承上启下，先指出疫情后人们对科学的兴趣确实有所提升，再衔接后文的具体表现。E项“However, interest in science has definitely risen since the pandemic began.(然而，自疫情开始后，人们对科学的兴趣无疑有所上升。)”用However转折，既呼应前文的 “科学不受欢迎”，又引出后文的积极变化。故选E项。 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 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白的最佳选项。 My knees started shaking.

In the aftermath of the terrible storm, an animal protection society (协会) discovered a surprise that both broke and warmed their hearts. The surprise was that a group of baby dogs were left with a sad note, revealing a tale of sympathy in the hardship. The note read, “Please help! I was sad to find a local homeless mother dog that I used to feed when I could, was unfortunately hit by a car and died immediately by the road. What made me sadder was that her babies were left homeless. This led me to adopt the baby dogs. However, the storm destroyed my temporary residence (住处) . I’m sorry for leaving them like this, but I am also homeless and cannot afford to look after them. Sincerely, a homeless man, George.” David, who was in charge of the animal protection society, posted the story, on the social media pages, expressing gratitude to the homeless man and admiration for his selfless act. David assured him that his kindness had not gone unnoticed and promised to honor his gesture by offering the baby dogs the love and care they would deserve. David also gave an invitation to him which read, “If you would like, please come to the animal protection society to see how the baby dogs will live, and I think that they will be glad to see you again!” 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。 Para. 1 A few days later, George, the homeless man, walked into the animal protection society. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 Then George and David started looking for new homes for the baby dogs. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A few days later, George, the homeless man, walked into the animal protection society. He introduced himself as the person who had left the baby dogs at the doorstep, his voice low and nervous. To his surprise, the staff welcomed him warmly and led him to the shelter, praising his kindness and courage along the way. George gently reached out to touch the baby dogs, whispering soft words as if greeting old friends. Moved by his deeds, David sincerely asked if he could stay to help care for the dogs and even arranged accommodation for him. George kindly accepted the invitation and from that day on he worked tirelessly, feeding, cleaning, and comforting the puppies. Then George and David started looking for new homes for the baby dogs. They posted pictures and videos online and shared the touching story behind their rescue. The story quickly spread and touched the hearts of many people. One by one, the dogs were soon adopted. Watching them go, George felt both relieved and proud, knowing he had kept his promise to their mother. David later encouraged him to continue working at the shelter as a full-time animal caregiver.

Two boys, Ralph and Piggy find the other surviving boys and begin to organize the group. As time passes, rivalries are formed, rules are broken and civilized behavior has turned savage. Lord of the Flies is a classic study on human nature, adolescence, and competition by William Golding.

A Separate Peace A friendship forms between two boys attending a New England boarding school during World War IL.

Of Mice and Men D. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn B Last weekend, I said goodbye to another dear old friend. We had 12 fine years together, but our relationship was becoming dysfunctional(不正常的). Unwanted emissions and serious health problems were the final straw, leaving me with no choice but to make a trip to the knacker’s(收废汽车者的)yard. I am now car-free for the first time in 20 years, and it feels strange. When I gave up meat, I did so mainly for environmental reasons, and I didn’t miss it at all. I would like to say the same about my car, but I can’t. It was first and foremost a financial decision: keeping the old car on the road was getting too expensive. But doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is still doing the right thing — I now have a chance to rethink how I move myself and my family around, and can try to find a more environmentally friendly means of transport. Going car-free is, I think, a lifestyle change that many of us are going to make over the next few years, as car ownership becomes increasingly unnecessary, expensive and socially unacceptable. However, it is easier said than done. Now my car is gone. I still need to get around. But how? I already cycle to work and use public transport when appropriate. But there are some occasions when a car seems to be the only way. I won’t buy one: I have joined a car-share program and will use taxis more often. I will hire a car if I need to drive a long distance. But then I am still travelling in fossil-fuelled cars(燃油汽车), like when I quit meat and ended up eating more cheese. I fear I may have swapped one environmental problem for another. I am also afraid to think about the ultimate fate of my car. I have just offloaded more than a ton of metal, plastic, rubber, fabric, electronics, oil and petrol that will end up in a landfill. There are millions of similar vehicles in the UK alone that will have to go somewhere. Maybe I am overthinking it. According to Charlie Wilson, a climate scientist at the UK’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, getting rid of a private car is no doubt a positive step to reduce CO2 emissions. He points to research by the OECD’s International Transport Forum. “They showed that moving from a private vehicle fleet(车队)to a shared vehicle fleet can greatly cut the number of vehicles you need to deliver the mobility that we need and want. If that vehicle fleet is electrified, you can also bring CO2 emissions close to zero.” So in other words, just get rid of your car. 24. What do we know about the author’s car? A. It was old. B. It was green. C. It was his first car. D. It was a second-hand car. 25. What do the author’s giving up meat and saying goodbye to his car have in common? A. He did both for the wrong reasons. B. He thinks both help him save money. C. He considers both are right decisions. D. He did both out of concern for the environment. 26. What does the author fear? A. He may have to spend more on travel. B. His lifestyle might be changed completely. C. He might get bored with public transportation. D. His decision may fail to help the environment. 27. What does Charlie Wilson say? A. It is wise to do away with old private cars. B. It is very easy to deal with old private cars. C. Electric cars are the solution to traffic problems. D. The OECD plays a key role in promoting car-sharing. C Music is good for health. And drumming may be best of all. As well as being physically demanding, it requires people to synchronize their arms and legs and to react to outside stimuli (刺激物) , such as what the rest of the band is up to. It is particularly helpful for children who have emotional and behavioral difficulties. Researchers at the Clem Burke Drumming Project— an organization named after Blondie’s drummer, who was one of its founders — have shown that teaching such children to drum helps them to control their reactions more generally, to focus more effectively on tasks they are given, and to communicate better with other people. The project’s latest work, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by a team led by Maric-Stephanic Cahart of King’s College, London, goes a step further. It looks at the neurological changes which accompany these shifts. Ms. Cahart and her colleagues recruited 36 autistic (自闭症的) teenagers and split them into two groups. One lot had drum lessons twice a week for eight weeks. The others did not. At the beginning and end of the project everyone was asked to stay still for 45 minutes in a functional magnetic-resonance imaging (FMRI) machine, to see how the activity of their brains had changed. Their behavior, as reported by their guardians, was also recorded. As expected, most of the drumming group showed positive behavioral changes. And these were indeed reflected in their brains. The FMRI scans showed that several groups of connectivity between parts of those brains had strengthened during the experiment. In particular. two regions involved in attention control, the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (背外侧前额叶皮层) and the right inferior frontal gyrus (额下回) , formed strong links. respectively, with places associated with self-examination and with areas involved in understanding facial expressions. These changes in the brain’s “wetware” thus nicely match the changes in behavior which learning to drum causes. Not a surprise, perhaps. But a gratifying confirmation of drumming’s power to heal. 28. What does the underlined word “synchronize” in the first paragraph mean? A. work together well with each other. B. react to the beat of the drum. C. move something up and down. D. swing body from side to side. 29. The passage mentions the benefits of drumming in the following aspects except ___________. A. social skills. B. reaction control. C. music sense D. attention control. 30. According to the article, which one of the following is wrong? A. Drumming is beneficial to children with emotional and behavioral problems. B. Ms. Cahart and her team focused on the benefits drumming could bring to children. C. In the experiment, researchers recorded the subjects’ changes reported by their guardians. D. Behavioral changes learning to drum causes are in line with changes in the brain’s “wetware” 31. What is the purpose of this text? A. To give a definition. B. To explain a phenomenon. C. To introduce a solution. D. To report a finding. D As climate-change models predicted, the frequency and intensity (强度) of baking days has increased recently. Records were broken in Europe this week as a heatwave swept the continent. Britain set a new maximum temperature record of 40. 3℃, shattering the 38. 7°C set in 2019. Since the 1980s temperatures have risen in the world’s cooler regions, exposing more people to extreme heat. Meanwhile, population growth has been fastest in the hottest countries, increasing the people affected. To measure heat exposure, we combined two large data sets. The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) produced by the EU’s Earth-observation programme. Copernicus. measures heat at hourly intervals, dividing the world into 865, 000 grid squares The UTCI combines data on air temperature and solar radiation with humidity (湿度) and wind into a single composite (混合物) “feels like” temperature measured in Celsius. We combined these data with the population living in each grid square. Temperatures above 38°C cause “very strong” heat stress. Temperatures above 46°C cause “extreme” stress. Just 30 minutes of very strong heat stress can harm lives, particularly among the old. Although many people have endured heat above 38°C this week, it remains exceptional. Over the past five years, the average European has experienced such heat for just three days a year. But elsewhere it is the norm: people outside Europe endure similar conditions for 65 days each year. Extreme heat above 46°C is remarkably common, too. Averagely, it occurs for three days per year for each person on Earth. But the frequency is much higher in Africa and parts of Asia, particularly the Indian subcontinent. An average person living in these two continents has recently experienced such heat for 4. 9 days a year, a 30% rise compared with 1980 to 1984. High population growth in Africa and Asia means that heat stress is now affecting more people. The time that people have felt very strong heat stress has risen by 50%. Two-thirds of those who suffer extreme heat live in countries where average annual incomes are below $2, 000, meaning many cannot afford air-conditioning. Europeans should spare a thought for them as they swelter in the sun. 32. According to the article, which one of the following is true? A. Extreme heat exposure will lead to climate change. B. Cool countries see greater chances of population growth. C. Strong exposure to heat may pose a big threat to the old. D. People in Europe experience heat longer than those in Africa. 33. How are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 developed? A. Defining a concept. B. Making a comparison. C. Giving an example. D. Describing an experiment. 34. What is the author’s attitude to extreme heat? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Concerned. 35. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Fight against extreme heat immediately. B. Heatwaves hit people across the globe. C. Population growth leads to hot days. D. Extreme heat calls for air-conditioning. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The whole world changes around them: actors, singers, models. athletes and TV personalities. If I go through Instagram, Snapchat or any social media news feed (新闻推送). I get too familiar with their lives. ___36___ What I can’t see is what their big contribution to the world is other than entertainment. By idolizing (崇拜) the entertainment industry so much, we sometimes completely forget about the things that are truly important and that are changing our world. Imagine if the money that every Hollywood actor and director makes went into medical research and pharmaceuticals. It would be so much easier for scientists to diagnose (诊断) diseases and unknown viruses. So if it would benefit the world so much to invest all of our time and attention toward scientists, why don’t we do it? ___37___ First of all, we like being entertained. Most people might not praise scientists because it’s not something entertainment. People will care more about Brad Pitt’s upcoming new movie, rather than NASA’s most current space exploration that might change the way we live our lives. ___38___ It’s because we simply like being entertained. It’s easier to care about simple things rather than scientific, complicated ones. Another reason is that most scientists don’t like being in the spotlight. There are studies that have identified the personality features of people most likely to become scientists. ___39___ Even if we gave them that much attention, they wouldn’t be so excited to be followed by paparazzi (狗仔) all day or get invited to events every weekend. They’re busy people, which explains why they haven’t attracted the media the same way that performers have. Therefore, it’s very unlikely that scientists will ever become the “celebrities (名人)” of modern days.
