The kite-powered boat reached top speeds of over 30 kilometers per hour.Lufinha traveled 6,400 kilometers in 25 days.The 38-year-old set out from Cascais,near Lisbon,Portugal on November 3,2022,and arrived in Martinique on December 20,Lufinha was not at sea for all that time,however.He made a planned stop at the Canary Islands on November 8.But he had to stay longer than planned because of the powerful storm and he remained there until November 30. Lufinha made the crossing completely alone in a 7.2-meter-long and 5.6-meter-wide trimaran,a boat which has three long,thin parts,with a small room for sleeping and shelter.Lufinha used a hand pump(手摇泵) to produce water for drinking and cooking.He said,“I have two such water makers,which I can pump and every hour I can make around four liters of water.” The water pump has a special filter (过滤器) to remove salt from the sea water.Lufinha used the water to add to dried food he carried with him on the boat. He called his trip “a big learning experience”.It was a big test of his adaptability.He learned most of all to look at his problems relatively.He had so many problems all of the time,such as kites getting torn and kites exploding (爆炸).And the only way not to suffer was to think,“It could be worse.” He said his way of thinking during the difficult crossing helped him get through it hour by hour,day by day,week by week until he finished this Atlantic crossing. 1.What’s one of the purposes of Lufinha’s trip?

Ⅴ.七选五 Studies have shown that students attain more information when reading a hard-copy book compared to reading on a digital device.　1　 And students navigated traditional books more easily,as teachers there put it.Although e-books offer various navigation tools,physical books’ ease of use is irreplaceable.Turning pages is still the best way to read.  Fans of digital books may point out that e-readers have a handy “search” tool.Old-fashioned books also have a search function,in which you turn back to the opening chapter to remind yourself of the hero’s surname.They even have a “bookmark system”,which uses a device called a “bookmark”.　2　 By simply turning the page,you can see new information.  Electronic books offer footnote capabilities,but so do traditional books.Using a “pencil”—a favorite tool of school kids worldwide—you can mark important passages.This allows you to highlight significant quotes or add your own insights.The absence of a built-in pencil doesn’t mean you can’t footnote a printed book.　3　 You can use a highlighter,write in the margin (页边),or—if you’re feeling really adventurous—use a ruler to create your own “book edge” notes.  　4　 Rarely do we get the same “new book smell” from an e-reader as we do from a freshly printed book.The concrete experience of physically turning pages and feeling the weight of a book in your hands cannot be matched by an e-reader.Actually they make excellent companions during leisure break.  In conclusion,printed books have triumphed over e-books because they offer an unparalleled reading experience.The ease of use,the emotional connection,and the ability to footnote all contribute to making printed books the preferred choice for many readers.　5　  A.You need to be more creative. B.You can use smart tools as you like. C.There’s still no substitute for the traditional book. D.Traditional books also excel at stirring up feelings. E.In response,one school in Australia abandoned its e-readers entirely. F.Furthermore,the ability to dog-ear pages is a bonus of physical books. G.A “progress bar” indicates what percentage of the e-book has been read. Ⅵ.语法填空 The idea of helping people comes naturally to most of us.If we see a blind person getting off 1. 　　　　　　 bus,we watch to make sure that he is in no danger of 2. 　　　　　　(fall).However,there are many people who have nobody near to see their need for help even when the need is known.The old,the 3.　　　　　　(disable),and the homeless are the people for 4. 　　　　　　 help may not come,because nobody sees.Organizations exist which try to make sure that someone sees when help 5.　　　　　　(need) and does something about it.Volunteers give up a little of their spare time 6. 　　　　　　(lend) a hand. If you wish to take part in this worthwhile activity,think of the people most in need of help and the ways in which help can be given.Old people cannot always redecorate 7.　　　　　　(they) homes.Household repairs,cleaning,preparing food or taking care of the garden may all prove difficult.Elderly people with failing eyesight are 8.　　　　　　(delight) if a friend comes in to read or to write letters for them.  People confined to wheelchairs cannot go out 9. 　　　　　　 somebody takes them.Blind children may love swimming but they need a sighted 10. 　　　　　　(swim) to go with them. What do you do if you want to help?

At that time,I lived nearby and I was always crazy about whales so I invited my friend Liz Cottriel to go out on a ship to check them out the next morning. “No way,” Liz hesitated.She was scared of whales and sharks,and was worried that the ship would overturn while we were in it.But I told her there was nothing to worry about and we probably would have an unforgettable experience. Convinced,Liz joined me and we set off at 8:30 the next morning.For the first half hour we didn’t see anything.Then I spotted two pairs of whales,swimming towards us at fast speed.Though it was the first time we had seen the large creatures at such a close distance,we intended not to turn around immediately we met them.Instead,we chose to wait for their approaching. One of the whales breached (跃出水面),then went down and hit the water really hard,leaving what looked like a layer of oil and also large waves.The boat started rocking wildly.At that moment,we realized it was too close. All of a sudden,a large group of fish started jumping out of the water into our ship.Their movement sounded like cracking glass around us.I was terrified.Then I felt our ship lifted out of the water—about two metres,we later learned.I figured the whale was going to drag us down somehow,and I had no idea how deep we’d be sucked underwater. 注意: 1.写作词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 What I didn’t realise at the moment was that Liz and I were in the whale’s mouth. 　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 It suddenly struck me that whales have huge mouths but tiny throats. 　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.motive　2.navigator　3.rough　4.loyal　5.candidate Ⅱ.1.make fire　2.give off　3.cheer up　4.pay back　5.sign up for　6.consists of Ⅲ.1.Before she could move　2.make a commitment　3.won’t give off waste gas　4.If you had arrived　5.use branches to make fire Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了葡萄牙男子Lufinha乘坐一只仅靠太阳和风提供动力的小船成功横渡了大西洋。 1.A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He expects his trip will earn him a Guinness World Record for Fastest Solo Atlantic Crossing by Kite Boat.”可知,他的一个目标是创下一个新的吉尼斯世界纪录。 2.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But he had to stay longer than planned because of the powerful storm and he remained there until November 30.”可知,由于天气恶劣,所以他在加那利群岛停留了更长的时间。 3.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He learned most of all to look at his problems relatively.He had so many problems all of the time,such as kites getting torn and kites exploding (爆炸).And the only way not to suffer was to think,‘It could be worse.’”可知,他学会了相对地去看待问题,当遇到困难时,他告诉自己还有比这更糟糕的情况,这是他学到的最重要的事情。由此推测,他从这次旅行中得到的最大收获就是学会了更加积极地看待问题。 4.C　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Lufinha has crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a small boat powered only by the sun and wind.”可知,他是一个勇敢的人。根据最后一段中的“He said his way of thinking during the difficult crossing helped him get through it hour by hour,day by day,week by week until he finished this Atlantic crossing.”可知,他是一个非常坚定的人。 Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要比较了电子书和传统书籍的特点,并介绍了传统书籍的优点。 1.E　根据上文可知,与在电子设备上阅读相比,学生在阅读纸质书时获得的信息更多。同时根据下文的e-books可知,空处会有与电子阅读相关的内容。E项可承接上文,且与下文形成比较关系,与more easily形成对应。 2.F　通读本段可知,该段主要介绍了search function的相关内容。根据上文中的bookmark以及下文“By simply turning the page,you can see new information.”可知,F项可引出下文。此处难点之一就是没有理解dog-ear这个复合动词的含义,它表示“将书页折起角”,因为将书页折角的形状与下耷的狗耳很像,故表此意。 3.A　根据主题句“Electronic...but so do traditional books.”以及下文“You can use a highlighter,write in the margin,or—if you’re feeling really adventurous—use a ruler to create your own ‘book edge’ notes.”可知,本段主要是介绍传统图书的“footnote capabilities”,同时下文提到了做自己的“书边”笔记,即发挥创造力。A项符合语境。下文中的create与该项中的creative对应。 4.D　该题的解题关键在于下文倒装句“Rarely do we get the same ‘new book smell’...a freshly printed book.”,同时通读全段可知,本段主要介绍的是实体书带给读者的嗅觉和触感,即“feelings”方面的影响。D项可作为本段的主题句。 5.C　根据上文“In conclusion,printed books have triumphed over e-books...”以及连接词and可知,空前列举了实体书的诸多优点,故空处应是得出有关传统书籍的总结性信息。C项是对本文的总结。 Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述的是当我们看到生活中有人需要帮助的时候,我们都会产生帮助别人的想法,这是一种很自然的想法。 1.a　考查冠词。分析句子,设空后为bus,其为名词,意为“公交车”。此处表示泛指,故使用不定冠词a。故填a。 2.falling　考查非谓语动词。分析句子,设空处置于介词of之后,故使用动名词作宾语。fall意为“摔倒”。故填falling。 3.disabled　考查形容词。根据前面的The old和后面的the homeless可知,此处填形容词disabled构成“the+形容词”表示一类人的用法。故填disabled。 4.whom　考查定语从句。分析句子,设空处构成“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,引导词在从句中作宾语,指代前文的people,应该用whom。故填whom。 5.is needed　考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子,设空处为when引导的时间状语从句的谓语动词,此处描述客观事实,故使用一般现在时。同时help与need之间是被动关系,故使用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is needed。 6.to lend　考查非谓语动词。分析句子,设空处使用不定式结构作状语。lend a hand意为“帮忙,搭把手”。故填to lend。 7.their　考查代词。分析句子,设空处应该使用they的形容词性物主代词their作定语,修饰homes,意为“他们的”,指代文中“老年人的”。故填their。 8.delighted　考查形容词。分析句子,设空处使用delight的形容词delighted作表语,意为“高兴的”。故填delighted。 9.unless　考查连词。分析句子,设空处使用连词连接前后两个句子,此处表示“除非”,用unless引导条件状语从句。故填unless。 10.swimmer　考查名词。分析句子,设空处应该使用swim的名词swimmer作宾语,意为“游泳者”,此处表示单数意义。故填swimmer。 Ⅶ. Dear Peter, Learning that you are interested in Chinese literature,I would like to recommend you to read a very representative novel Journey to the West. The book was written by Wu Chengen,a novelist in the Ming Dynasty.The author mainly described the story of the Monkey King,Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha protecting Monk Tang to travel westward to learn scriptures. With humorous language and simple characters,this novel is well worth reading.I hope that you can learn more about Chinese culture after reading it. Good luck! Yours, Li Hua Ⅷ.What I didn’t realise at the moment was that Liz and I were in the whale’s mouth.But soon it was pathetic that we had to face the terrible reality.It then engulfed my entire body except for my right arm and paddle.Liz,meanwhile,was looking up directly into the whale’s jaw—it was like a big white wall.She almost broke down and started to scream hysterically.I strained every nerve trying to come up with an idea—I’ve got to get up.I’ve got to fight this.I’ve got to breathe.However,in the face of immensity,the willpower of a small human would be not worth mentioning.The white wall kept compressing,and we were eventually submerged under water. It suddenly struck me that whales have huge mouths but tiny throats.Anything they can’t swallow,they spit out.At the thought of this,I felt a heavy stone slightly lifted from my heart and relievedly gained a sense of security.As expected,with a violent sway,Liz and I both popped up out of the water about metres apart.Though the entire ordeal lasted only seconds,it felt like an eternity for us.When we got back to shore,we gasped in a trembling and shocked voice.“God,that was a narrow escape!”There’s no way we are getting that close to the whales again.People should respect nature and do not invade the space of other species. 5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
