On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there is a group of people regularly moving through the snowy mountains, lakes and pastures (牧场) . They are doing one thing — picking up rubbish.
They are from the “Beautiful Travel”, an organization founded by Shi Ning. In 2014, when he traveled alone from Dali to Lhasa, seeing amounts of rubbish along the road, he became shocked. Later, Shi Ning and his two companions discussed possible solutions to environmental problems. In2015, they launched a series of campaigns (运动) , starting from picking up rubbish along the highway in Xizang areas.
Since then, more than 45 tons of deserted plastic bottles have been recycled thanks to the “Beautiful Travel”. If you piled these plastic bottles up, they would be about 25 times as high as Qomolangma.
However, it is difficult for rubbish transporters (运输车) to run at high altitudes during rainy and snowy days, with the closure (关闭) of roads. They established rubbish pickup sites with the local government. Volunteers go to villages, towns and mountainous areas to collect rubbish and when the rubbish is piled up to 500 kg, trucks are sent to collect it. They also call on tourists and local residents to stop littering to protect the local biodiversity. The campaign involves about 30, 000tourists all the way.
Volunteers sort out 20% recyclable rubbish and recycle it according to the local price. The remaining 80% of non-recyclable rubbish will be handed over by volunteers and staff to the municipal (市政的) waste removal department for further recycling.
The T-shirts worn by the volunteers were made using recycled materials from the rubbish. Blue, representing the blue sky and our planet, is specially chosen for this organization. “It’s like planting the seeds of civilization in people’s hearts, and I believe that one day, they will come out, forming a beautiful landscape, ” Shi Ning said.
4. What inspired Shi Ning to found the “Beautiful Travel”?
A. What he saw along the way. B. How he felt about Xizang.
C. What the local people did. D. How his companions thought of Dali.
5. What might challenge the rubbish transporters according to the passage?
A. The road conditions. B. The awful weather.
C. The large amount of rubbish. D. The pressure from the government.
6. How do the volunteers deal with rubbish collected in the mountains?
A. By selling it. B. By reusing it.
C. By handing it over to a related department. D. By dividing it into different types.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. The Cleaners of Our Nature B. The Protection of Local Biodiversity
C. The Beautiful Travel of Volunteers D. The Significance of Recycling Rubbish
C
A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter.
For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly.
But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.
The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics) , looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measured their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.
If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other researches that show that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: they could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music.
8. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2?
A. Improve. B. Reduce. C. Need. D. Influence.
9. What does the example in paragraph 3 prove?
A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot.
B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown.
C. Listening to music fails to help kids in language learning.
D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is not certain.
10. How did the researchers do the new study?
A. They did 54 small studies in all. B. They examined plenty of previous research.
C. They observed children in music classes. D. They did an online survey of musical students.
11. What result can we know from the last paragraph?
A. A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort.
B. Intelligence determines one’s school performance.
C. Music lessons should be encouraged for children.
D. Students should avoid listening to music while studying.
D
In an air-conditioned office, you may see men with sporting shorts while their female co-workers wear jackets to keep warm. Why do women feel cold more easily than men?
The accepted answer is that men and women feel temperature differently. Our bodies produce heat through metabolism (新陈代谢) . One of the key factors of the metabolic rate is our muscles (肌肉) . Generally speaking, men have more muscles than women, leading to a higher metabolic rate. It means that more heat is created. As a result, men, on average, do not feel cold as easily as women. Yes, women and men have physical differences. But why is it women, in most cases, who feel more uncomfortable in a room set to a “comfortable” temperature? The answer lies in the data bias (数据偏见) behind the model of temperature setting in buildings.
In a 2020 article in the journal Nature, Boris Kingma, a human thermal (热量的) performance researcher in the Netherlands, pointed out that most office buildings set the temperature in light of a model based on men’s metabolic rate. Female data were not considered when setting the model. In other words, temperatures for comfort in office buildings are mainly comfortable for men, not women. In his article, Kingma called for the end of this so-called “bias in thermal comfort”.
This is just one example of data bias. In her book, Caroline Perez gave more examples in which women were ignored in data collecting for scientific and technological research and design. Women are more likely to die from a serious car accident because a car’s safety equipment is designed for the typical body of a man. The medicine aspirin (阿司匹林) shows better performance in men since it was developed on data collected mostly from males. Women, who form half of the world’s population, seem to be ignored in these cases.
12. Why don’t men feel cold as easily as women, according to the text?
A. Men have a higher metabolic rate. B. Men exercise more to produce heat.
C. Men have more fat to keep warm. D. Men burn off less energy when moving.
13. What does Kingma think of the data bias behind the model of temperature setting?
A. Positive. B. Acceptable. C. Unfair. D. Reasonable.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly concentrate on?
A. Arguments about the data bias. B. Comments on the data bias.
C. Reasons for human’s data bias. D. Examples of the data bias.
15. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To show men and women feel temperature differently.
B. To compare men and women’s feelings.
C. To bring the data bias on women into focus.
D. To reset the temperature of air conditioner.

47. 阅读下面材料,根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。
Over the summer I moved from Texas to Missouri. This was my second year of high school, but my first year of school in Missouri. I was really nervous about starting a new school and having people like me. I decided that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called “popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I bought a new outfit so the first day would be perfect.
On the first day of school, scared, yet eager to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs. My first class was geometry, but where was that? I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are you new? You look lost. Do you want me to help you find your class? My name is Diane. What’s yours?” Even though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost.
After exchanging names, I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right. When we reached my room she said, “Well, here you are. It was nice meeting you. I hope I see you again and your day goes all right.”
I said a quick thank-you and waved good-bye. Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle. I decided that this guy was popular.
A few minutes later the teacher told everyone to go find a seat and get ready for the class. I managed to get one right next to the guy. I said, “Hi, my name is April and I’m new here.” He said coldly, “Hi, I’m Johnny.” That class dragged on and on. Finally, the bell rang. I turned to him and asked, “I’m not sure where my next class is, could you help me find it?” He looked at me and then said a quick no, turned back to his friends, and walked out of the classroom.
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。
As they were walking out, I heard they were all laughing at me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before I was ready to go home, I heard a familiar voice calling my name.

On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there is a group of people regularly moving through the snowy mountains, lakes and pastures (牧场) . They are doing one thing — picking up rubbish.
They are from the “Beautiful Travel”, an organization founded by Shi Ning. In 2014, when he traveled alone from Dali to Lhasa, seeing amounts of rubbish along the road, he became shocked. Later, Shi Ning and his two companions discussed possible solutions to environmental problems. In2015, they launched a series of campaigns (运动) , starting from picking up rubbish along the highway in Xizang areas.
Since then, more than 45 tons of deserted plastic bottles have been recycled thanks to the “Beautiful Travel”. If you piled these plastic bottles up, they would be about 25 times as high as Qomolangma.
However, it is difficult for rubbish transporters (运输车) to run at high altitudes during rainy and snowy days, with the closure (关闭) of roads. They established rubbish pickup sites with the local government. Volunteers go to villages, towns and mountainous areas to collect rubbish and when the rubbish is piled up to 500 kg, trucks are sent to collect it. They also call on tourists and local residents to stop littering to protect the local biodiversity. The campaign involves about 30, 000tourists all the way.
Volunteers sort out 20% recyclable rubbish and recycle it according to the local price. The remaining 80% of non-recyclable rubbish will be handed over by volunteers and staff to the municipal (市政的) waste removal department for further recycling.
The T-shirts worn by the volunteers were made using recycled materials from the rubbish. Blue, representing the blue sky and our planet, is specially chosen for this organization. “It’s like planting the seeds of civilization in people’s hearts, and I believe that one day, they will come out, forming a beautiful landscape, ” Shi Ning said.

A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter.
For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly.
But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.
The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics) , looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measured their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.
If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other researches that show that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: they could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music.
8. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2?
A. Improve. B. Reduce. C. Need. D. Influence.
9. What does the example in paragraph 3 prove?
A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot.
B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown.
C. Listening to music fails to help kids in language learning.
D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is not certain.
10. How did the researchers do the new study?
A. They did 54 small studies in all. B. They examined plenty of previous research.
C. They observed children in music classes. D. They did an online survey of musical students.
11. What result can we know from the last paragraph?
A. A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort.
B. Intelligence determines one’s school performance.
C. Music lessons should be encouraged for children.
D. Students should avoid listening to music while studying.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第三段“But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.(但是上音乐课和仅仅听音乐肯定不同吗?上音乐课不会让孩子更聪明吗?这正是多年来许多研究人员试图回答的问题。他们的一些研究得出结论是会的,而另一些研究则发现不会。例如,一项研究表明,音乐教育并没有提高阅读能力,而另一项研究则发现音乐对幼儿学习单词的能力有很小的影响)”可知,第三段中的例子是为了证明上音乐课是否能让孩子更聪明还不确定。故选D。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes.

In an air-conditioned office, you may see men with sporting shorts while their female co-workers wear jackets to keep warm. Why do women feel cold more easily than men?
The accepted answer is that men and women feel temperature differently. Our bodies produce heat through metabolism (新陈代谢) . One of the key factors of the metabolic rate is our muscles (肌肉) . Generally speaking, men have more muscles than women, leading to a higher metabolic rate. It means that more heat is created. As a result, men, on average, do not feel cold as easily as women. Yes, women and men have physical differences. But why is it women, in most cases, who feel more uncomfortable in a room set to a “comfortable” temperature? The answer lies in the data bias (数据偏见) behind the model of temperature setting in buildings.
In a 2020 article in the journal Nature, Boris Kingma, a human thermal (热量的) performance researcher in the Netherlands, pointed out that most office buildings set the temperature in light of a model based on men’s metabolic rate. Female data were not considered when setting the model. In other words, temperatures for comfort in office buildings are mainly comfortable for men, not women. In his article, Kingma called for the end of this so-called “bias in thermal comfort”.
This is just one example of data bias. In her book, Caroline Perez gave more examples in which women were ignored in data collecting for scientific and technological research and design. Women are more likely to die from a serious car accident because a car’s safety equipment is designed for the typical body of a man. The medicine aspirin (阿司匹林) shows better performance in men since it was developed on data collected mostly from males. Women, who form half of the world’s population, seem to be ignored in these cases.
12. Why don’t men feel cold as easily as women, according to the text?
A. Men have a higher metabolic rate. B. Men exercise more to produce heat.
C. Men have more fat to keep warm. D. Men burn off less energy when moving.
13. What does Kingma think of the data bias behind the model of temperature setting?
A. Positive. B. Acceptable. C. Unfair. D. Reasonable.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly concentrate on?
A. Arguments about the data bias. B. Comments on the data bias.
C. Reasons for human’s data bias. D. Examples of the data bias.
15. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To show men and women feel temperature differently.
B. To compare men and women’s feelings.
C. To bring the data bias on women into focus.
D. To reset the temperature of air conditioner.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了女性比男性更容易感到寒冷的原因,揭示了建筑温度设定模型背后的数据偏见,并强调了考虑性别差异的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Generally speaking, men have more muscles than women, leading to a higher metabolic rate. It means that more heat is created. As a result, men, on average, do not feel cold as easily as women.(一般来说,男性的肌肉比女性多,导致新陈代谢率更高。这意味着会产生更多的热量。因此,平均来说,男性不像女性那样容易感到寒冷)”可知,男性不像女性那样容易感到寒冷是因为男性的新陈代谢率更高。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Female data were not considered when setting the model. In other words, temperatures for comfort in office buildings are mainly comfortable for men, not women. In his article, Kingma called for the end of this so-called ‘bias in thermal comfort’.(在建立模型时没有考虑女性数据。换句话说,办公楼里的舒适温度主要适合男性,而不是女性。在他的文章中,Kingma呼吁结束这种所谓的‘热舒适偏见’)”可推测出,Kingma认为温度设定模型背后的数据偏见是不公平的。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“This is just one example of data bias. In her book, Caroline Perez gave more examples in which women were ignored in data collecting for scientific and technological research and design.(这只是数据偏见的一个例子。在她的书中,Caroline Perez给出了更多例子,说明女性在科学技术研究和设计的数据收集中被忽视)”可知,第四段主要集中在数据偏见的例子上。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要讨论了女性比男性更容易感到寒冷的原因,揭示了建筑温度设定模型背后的数据偏见,强调了考虑性别差异的重要性,由此可知,作者写这篇文章是为了将针对女性的数据偏见纳入关注焦点。故选C。

【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:拉萨是西藏自治区的首府,海拔3650米,以“日光之城”而闻名,因为它每年平均日照时间超过3000小时。分析句子可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Lhasa, the capital of the Xizang Autonomous Region,关系词在从句中作主语,且指物。故填which。

【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:对于许多外来者来说,这座被称为“世界屋脊”的城市,以其丰富的历史、民族文化和青藏高原的自然奇观,依然是一个神秘而遥远的地方。修饰名词wonders应使用形容词natural表示“自然的”,用形容词作定语。故填natural。

【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这部剧花了三年时间,总行程超过4100公里,采访了各种背景的132个人才得以拍摄完成。此处为it takes sb. some time to do sth的固定句型,指花费某人某时间做某事。故填to create。

47. 阅读下面材料,根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。
Over the summer I moved from Texas to Missouri. This was my second year of high school, but my first year of school in Missouri. I was really nervous about starting a new school and having people like me. I decided that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called “popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I bought a new outfit so the first day would be perfect.
On the first day of school, scared, yet eager to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs. My first class was geometry, but where was that? I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are you new? You look lost. Do you want me to help you find your class? My name is Diane. What’s yours?” Even though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost.
After exchanging names, I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right. When we reached my room she said, “Well, here you are. It was nice meeting you. I hope I see you again and your day goes all right.”
I said a quick thank-you and waved good-bye. Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle. I decided that this guy was popular.
A few minutes later the teacher told everyone to go find a seat and get ready for the class. I managed to get one right next to the guy. I said, “Hi, my name is April and I’m new here.” He said coldly, “Hi, I’m Johnny.” That class dragged on and on. Finally, the bell rang. I turned to him and asked, “I’m not sure where my next class is, could you help me find it?” He looked at me and then said a quick no, turned back to his friends, and walked out of the classroom.
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。
As they were walking out, I heard they were all laughing at me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before I was ready to go home, I heard a familiar voice calling my name.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 As they were walking out, I heard they were all laughing at me. Their shrill laughing let me blush with shame. I felt so embarrassed that I couldn’t do anything but sit there, keeping my body unmoved and holding back my tears. What I wanted to do is just to make friends with them. I couldn’t figure out why they laughed at me. But one thing was certain, that is, I must removed myself from their presence. Therefore, I wasn’t ready to leave until they walked far away.
Before I was ready to go home, I heard a familiar voice calling my name. I felt very strange since I was new here without making any friends. Turning around, I saw Diane who came up to me with a warm smile on her face. She said she would walk together with me. What a kind and friendly girl she was, I thought. I was deeply moved so that I left all my embarrassment and sadness behind. On our way home, we talked a lot and I was surprised to find we had a lot in common. I also realized the true meaning of a friend.
