Lilliputians thought Blefuscu was preparing a new attack very soon and they had more ships than we had here on Lilliput. I was worried, too. I was also sorry for the emperor and his people because they always treated me well. So I decided to go to the emperor and offer him my services. “To thank you for your kindness, Emperor, I am ready to put my life in danger to protect Lilliput and all the Lilliputians. I will fight the Blefuscans for you!” The emperor thanked me for my offer and understood that with my “great” help, Lilliput had a good chance of winning the war. So we immediately began to prepare a plan of action. The island of Blefuscu is blocked off from Lilliput by a narrow channel of water. I planned to swim across and catch the Blefuscan fleet before they attacked Lilliput. I knew that the Blefuscans did not know anything about me. So I had the great advantage of surprise. When they saw me coming across the water for the first time, you can imagine their fear. I swam across the channel with some ropes. When the enemy saw the Man Mountain they all screamed and jumped off their ships into the sea. And so as planned, I caught the Blefuscan fleet of ships. I tied their ships to my ropes and pulled the ships back to Lilliput. I arrived back on Lilliput pulling the enemy’s ships behind me. My plan was a success! I immediately became a national hero and the emperor gave me the highest honour in the country: I became a “nardac” (which in the Lilliputian language means a very important person). —Taken from Gulliver’s Travels 18．Why did Gulliver offer to help the Emperor of Lilliput fight against Blefuscu? A．Because he wanted to become a national hero and receive a high honor. B．Because the Emperor thought him was the greatest fighter ever. C．Because he owed (欠) the Emperor a lot of money.

Gulliver heard of the war A．e-b-a-c-d B．e-c-a-d-b C．e-c-d-b-a D．e-c-b-d-a 21．Which is the best title for the story? A．A surprise for the emperor. B．A fleet of ships from Lilliput. C．A war for boiled eggs. D．An enemy against Lilliput. 【答案】18．D 19．B 20．C 21．C 【导语】本文节选自《格列佛游记》，讲述格列佛在利立浦特的经历。 18．细节理解题。根据“I was also sorry for the emperor and his people because they always treated me well. So I decided to go to the emperor and offer him my services.”可知，是因为皇帝和利立浦特人一直善待他，所以格列佛决定帮忙。故选D。 19．词句猜测题。根据“I knew that the Blefuscans did not know anything about me. So I had the great advantage of surprise. When they saw me coming across the water for the first time, you can imagine their fear.”可知，不来夫斯人不了解格列佛，格列佛游过海峡发起攻击，这是出其不意的，所以surprise指一次意外攻击。故选B。 20．细节理解题。根据“I have heard of many wars which have started for the funniest reasons, but can you imagine two countries fighting because of boiled eggs?”、“So I decided to go to the emperor and offer him my services.”和“The emperor thanked me for my offer and understood that with my ‘great’ help, Lilliput had a good chance of winning the war. So we immediately began to prepare a plan of action.”、“The island of Blefuscu is blocked off from Lilliput by a narrow channel of water. I planned to swim across and enter the Blefuscan fleet before they attacked Lilliput.”和“I swam across the channel with some ropes.”、“When the enemy saw the Man Mountain they all screamed and jumped off their ships into the sea.”和“I arrived-back on Lilliput pulling the enemy’s ships behind me.”可知。首先格列佛听说战争（e）→ 然后去见皇帝并讲计划，皇帝听取（c）→ 接着格列佛游过海峡（d）→ 不来夫斯人害怕跳船（b）→ 最后格列佛拖着敌船返回（a）。故选C。 21．最佳标题题。通读原文可知，文章开篇表明战争因煮鸡蛋引发，后文围绕这场战争中格列佛的行动展开。C选项“因煮鸡蛋引发的战争”符合题意。故选C。 D China has long been known as a nation of rites (礼仪之邦). Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners. One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting. You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”. 22．What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A．Bring your own chopsticks from home. B．Use communal chopsticks to get food. C．Use your own chopsticks to share food. D．Share the food with others’ chopsticks. 23．What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean? A．turn something around B．pull something nearer C．pick something up D．move something away 24．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Why the table is round? B．How can you find a seat? C．Which is the honor seat? D．Who is the most important? 25．How does the writer organize the article? A．In time order. B．From specific to general. C．In space order. D．From general to specific. 【答案】22．B 23．A 24．A 25．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的餐桌礼仪。 22．细节理解题。根据第3段“As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting.”可知，如果我们在公共场所用餐，我们该用公用筷子取食物，故选B。 23．词义猜测题。根据带下划线的单词所在句子“It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food.”可知，文章中带下划线的单词“spin”意思是“转动某物”，故选A。 24．主旨大意题。根据“Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together.”可知，第4段的主要思想是“为什么桌子是圆的”，故选A。 25．推理判断题。通读全文可知，这篇短文主要介绍了中国的餐桌礼仪。中国人在正式场合下举止得体，无论是婚礼、庆祝派对还是宴会。中国餐桌礼仪的基本规则包括共享餐食、使用公共餐具、注意卫生和尊重座位次序。作者是从一般到具体组织文章的，故选D。 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 三、信息还原 (本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的7个选项中选出5个能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Have you ever done or thought about volunteering before? Volunteering means spending time and effort to help somebody or something. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter (收容所) before. 26 Back in 2021, some friends and I went to an animal shelter outside of Beijing. There, I was able to give food to the animals. 27 I saw many kinds of other animals as well, such as foxes and chickens. Still, our main goal (目标) was to help the dogs by giving them walks. 28 I remember it was a big black dog. The dog was very gentle, but it did not want to walk very far. It was also a bit shy and just wanted to look at the other dogs. So I took out a tennis ball to play a game with the dog. 29 It was pretty funny watching the dog run through a group of ducks trying to get the ball back. All in all, volunteering for the dog shelter is helpful for both the workers and the dogs. I really enjoyed my time there. 30 I highly (非常) recommend it! A．It really enjoyed the game. B．I helped feed and walk dogs there. C．You should keep a dog as a pet at home. D．The dog was too shy to play with the ball. E．I made sure to give one of the dogs a good walk. F．There were not only dogs at the shelter, however.

Heartbeat passport (心跳护照) Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. According to experts, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data will be used to tell who you are. More comfortable flight The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll actually be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device (未来设备) could show movies straight in front of your eyes. Printed clothes and food If you hate packing (打包) clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan. And upon arrival, you’ll find a wardrobe filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat. Bring history back to life If you like to visit historic sites (历史古迹), augmented reality (AR,增强现实) will change the game.

A．visit a historical site B．change a historical site C．see each other in games D．take part in a battle C I have heard of many wars which have started for the funniest reasons, but can you imagine two countries fighting because of boiled eggs? Lilliputians thought Blefuscu was preparing a new attack very soon and they had more ships than we had here on Lilliput. I was worried, too. I was also sorry for the emperor and his people because they always treated me well. So I decided to go to the emperor and offer him my services. “To thank you for your kindness, Emperor, I am ready to put my life in danger to protect Lilliput and all the Lilliputians. I will fight the Blefuscans for you!” The emperor thanked me for my offer and understood that with my “great” help, Lilliput had a good chance of winning the war. So we immediately began to prepare a plan of action. The island of Blefuscu is blocked off from Lilliput by a narrow channel of water. I planned to swim across and catch the Blefuscan fleet before they attacked Lilliput. I knew that the Blefuscans did not know anything about me. So I had the great advantage of surprise. When they saw me coming across the water for the first time, you can imagine their fear. I swam across the channel with some ropes. When the enemy saw the Man Mountain they all screamed and jumped off their ships into the sea. And so as planned, I caught the Blefuscan fleet of ships. I tied their ships to my ropes and pulled the ships back to Lilliput. I arrived back on Lilliput pulling the enemy’s ships behind me. My plan was a success! I immediately became a national hero and the emperor gave me the highest honour in the country: I became a “nardac” (which in the Lilliputian language means a very important person). —Taken from Gulliver’s Travels 18．Why did Gulliver offer to help the Emperor of Lilliput fight against Blefuscu? A．Because he wanted to become a national hero and receive a high honor. B．Because the Emperor thought him was the greatest fighter ever. C．Because he owed (欠) the Emperor a lot of money.

C．A war for boiled eggs. D．An enemy against Lilliput. D China has long been known as a nation of rites (礼仪之邦). Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners. One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting. You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”. 22．What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A．Bring your own chopsticks from home. B．Use communal chopsticks to get food. C．Use your own chopsticks to share food. D．Share the food with others’ chopsticks. 23．What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean? A．turn something around B．pull something nearer C．pick something up D．move something away 24．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Why the table is round? B．How can you find a seat? C．Which is the honor seat? D．Who is the most important? 25．How does the writer organize the article? A．In time order. B．From specific to general. C．In space order. D．From general to specific. 三、信息还原 (本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的7个选项中选出5个能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Have you ever done or thought about volunteering before? Volunteering means spending time and effort to help somebody or something. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter (收容所) before. 26 Back in 2021, some friends and I went to an animal shelter outside of Beijing. There, I was able to give food to the animals. 27 I saw many kinds of other animals as well, such as foxes and chickens. Still, our main goal (目标) was to help the dogs by giving them walks. 28 I remember it was a big black dog. The dog was very gentle, but it did not want to walk very far. It was also a bit shy and just wanted to look at the other dogs. So I took out a tennis ball to play a game with the dog. 29 It was pretty funny watching the dog run through a group of ducks trying to get the ball back. All in all, volunteering for the dog shelter is helpful for both the workers and the dogs. I really enjoyed my time there. 30 I highly (非常) recommend it! A．It really enjoyed the game. B．I helped feed and walk dogs there. C．You should keep a dog as a pet at home. D．The dog was too shy to play with the ball. E．I made sure to give one of the dogs a good walk.

European airline (航空公司) easyJet has made some predictions and released (发布) easyJet 2070: The Future Travel Report. Let’s take a look at some mind-blowing ideas. Heartbeat passport (心跳护照) Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. According to experts, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So the data will be used to tell who you are. More comfortable flight The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll actually be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you to your favourite temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A futuristic device (未来设备) could show movies straight in front of your eyes. Printed clothes and food If you hate packing (打包) clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, you will have a body scan. And upon arrival, you’ll find a wardrobe filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat. Bring history back to life If you like to visit historic sites (历史古迹), augmented reality (AR,增强现实) will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a battle.

Lilliputians thought Blefuscu was preparing a new attack very soon and they had more ships than we had here on Lilliput. I was worried, too. I was also sorry for the emperor and his people because they always treated me well. So I decided to go to the emperor and offer him my services. “To thank you for your kindness, Emperor, I am ready to put my life in danger to protect Lilliput and all the Lilliputians. I will fight the Blefuscans for you!” The emperor thanked me for my offer and understood that with my “great” help, Lilliput had a good chance of winning the war. So we immediately began to prepare a plan of action. The island of Blefuscu is blocked off from Lilliput by a narrow channel of water. I planned to swim across and catch the Blefuscan fleet before they attacked Lilliput. I knew that the Blefuscans did not know anything about me. So I had the great advantage of surprise. When they saw me coming across the water for the first time, you can imagine their fear. I swam across the channel with some ropes. When the enemy saw the Man Mountain they all screamed and jumped off their ships into the sea. And so as planned, I caught the Blefuscan fleet of ships. I tied their ships to my ropes and pulled the ships back to Lilliput. I arrived back on Lilliput pulling the enemy’s ships behind me. My plan was a success! I immediately became a national hero and the emperor gave me the highest honour in the country: I became a “nardac” (which in the Lilliputian language means a very important person). —Taken from Gulliver’s Travels 18．Why did Gulliver offer to help the Emperor of Lilliput fight against Blefuscu? A．Because he wanted to become a national hero and receive a high honor. B．Because the Emperor thought him was the greatest fighter ever. C．Because he owed (欠) the Emperor a lot of money.

C．A war for boiled eggs. D．An enemy against Lilliput. D China has long been known as a nation of rites (礼仪之邦). Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners. One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting. You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”. 22．What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A．Bring your own chopsticks from home. B．Use communal chopsticks to get food. C．Use your own chopsticks to share food. D．Share the food with others’ chopsticks. 23．What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean? A．turn something around B．pull something nearer C．pick something up D．move something away 24．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Why the table is round? B．How can you find a seat? C．Which is the honor seat? D．Who is the most important? 25．How does the writer organize the article? A．In time order. B．From specific to general. C．In space order. D．From general to specific. 三、信息还原 (本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的7个选项中选出5个能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Have you ever done or thought about volunteering before? Volunteering means spending time and effort to help somebody or something. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter (收容所) before. 26 Back in 2021, some friends and I went to an animal shelter outside of Beijing. There, I was able to give food to the animals. 27 I saw many kinds of other animals as well, such as foxes and chickens. Still, our main goal (目标) was to help the dogs by giving them walks. 28 I remember it was a big black dog. The dog was very gentle, but it did not want to walk very far. It was also a bit shy and just wanted to look at the other dogs. So I took out a tennis ball to play a game with the dog. 29 It was pretty funny watching the dog run through a group of ducks trying to get the ball back. All in all, volunteering for the dog shelter is helpful for both the workers and the dogs. I really enjoyed my time there. 30 I highly (非常) recommend it! A．It really enjoyed the game. B．I helped feed and walk dogs there. C．You should keep a dog as a pet at home. D．The dog was too shy to play with the ball. E．I made sure to give one of the dogs a good walk.

They also started a group called Friends of Nature to keep the area’s biodiversity (生物多样性), fight against climate change, and help people realize the importance of the environment.
