Unluckily, when the disease ________, it didn’t catch the attention of the public. A. stayed out B. put out C. broke out D. took out 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：不幸的是，当疾病爆发时，它没有引起公众的注意。 考查动词短语辨析。stayed out置身事外；put out扑灭；broke out突发；took out取出。根据“when the disease”可知，这里指疾病爆发。故选C。 2. —________ will the meeting last? —________ we reach an agreement. A. How long; Not until B. When; Not until C. How long; Until D. When; Till 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——会议什么时候结束？——直到我们达成协议。 考查特殊疑问句和连词。How long多长时间，对时间段提问；When何时，对时间点提问；Not until直到……才，常与表示瞬间性动作的动词连用；Until直到，表示动作、状态的持续，强调“一直到……为止”，常与表示延续性动作的动词连用；Till直到。根据last“持续”可判断，会议持续的是一段时间，所以排除B和D；又根据“we reach an agreement”可知，此处表示“会议持续到我们达成协议为止”，因此用until“直到”表示。故选C。 3. —Many young people now prefer ________ takeaways (外卖) to cooking. —But I would rather ________ by myself. A. ordering; to cook B. to order; to cook C. ordering; cook D. to order; cooking 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——许多年轻人现在更喜欢叫外卖而不是做饭。——但我宁愿自己做饭。 考查固定短语。prefer doing to doing宁愿……也不愿……，指更喜欢做某事，前空需用动名词ordering；would rather do宁愿做某事，是固定结构。结合选项，故选C。 4. This is a ________ film. Cindy is ________ with it. A. pleased, pleasant B. pleasant, pleased C. pleased, please D. pleasant, please 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这是一部令人愉快的电影。辛迪对此很满意。 考查形容词辨析。pleasant令人愉快的；pleased感到满意的；please使满意，动词。根据“a...film”可知此处指一部令人愉快的电影，形容词物用pleasant；根据“Cindy is...with it”可知此处是短语be pleased with“对……满意”。故选B。 5. — Bad luck! On my way home, I had my watch ________. — I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe you will have no choice but ________ another one. A. stolen；to buy B. stolen；buy C. stole；to buy D. to steal；buy 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——真倒霉，昨天在回家的路上我的手表被偷了。——听到这我很难过。可能你除了再买一个也别无选择了。 考查非谓语动词的用法。根据句意及题干分析第一空是“have sth. done”结构，表示某人的遭遇；第二空是have no choice but to do sth.意为“除了……别无选择”，故选A。 6. —He took ________ one-hour ride. What a short time he spent finishing a long way! —He is ________ experienced rider. A. a; an B. an; a C. a; a D. an; an 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——他骑了一个小时的车。他花了多么短的时间完成了一条漫长的路！ 考查冠词。第一空后one的第一个发音的音素是辅音，所以应用不定冠词a；第二空后experienced的第一个发音的音素是元音，所以应用不定冠词an，故选A。 7. In my opinion, of all the books, this is the only one ______ is well worth reading. A. who B. that C. whom D. what 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在我看来，在所有的书中，这是唯一值得一读的。 考查定语从句关系词。根据“of all the books, this is the only one”可知先行词the only one指物，先行词用the only修饰时，只能用that引导限制性定语从句。故选B。 8. We can never imagine living ________ life without trying to protect the world we live in. A. a better B. the better C. a worse D. the worst 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们不能想象不去保护我们居住的世界，却能过一个更好的生活。 考查冠词辨析和形容词辨析。a一个，表示泛指；the这个，表示特指；better更好的；worse更差的。空格处泛指一个更好的生活，用不定冠词a；句意表示在没有保护我们的世界前提下却能过更好的生活，这是无法想象的，用good比较级better。故选A。 三、完形填空(本大题共26小题, 每小题1分, 共26分) A） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入相应空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In April Gray Beaver went back home with his family.

But this time White Fang cut him twice, to Baseek’s surprise. They stood ____12____ each other over the meat, then Baseek stepped ____13____ to take it. But White Fang struck(攻击), as usual, ____14____ no warning. First, he cut Baseek’s right ear, then he knocked him down and bit his shoulder. Baseek ran at White Fang, but White Fang was too ____15____ for the old dog, and cut his nose. White Fang stood over the meat, and Baseek left. This gave White Fang even more confidence in ____16____, and from then on none of the other dogs ____17____ him. Then White Fang had another important ____18____. One day in the village, he met his mother Kiche. He remembered her, but she-wolves do not remember their ____19____ cubs (幼崽). He was just another dangerous animal, who ____20____ hurt her new cubs. So when White Fang ran over to her ____21____, she cut his cheek. He didn’t understand, and he ____22____.

C 16. B 17. D 18. A 19. A 20. C 21. D 22. A 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了白牙长大后不再害怕其他狗，通过与老狗争斗赢得自信，后遇见母亲却被攻击，最终学会独立生活的成长故事。 【9题详解】 句意：他不再感到害怕成年狗了。 根据“Before White Fang always feared Baseek”可知，以前他害怕，现在不再“害怕”。be afraid of为固定搭配，意为“害怕”。B、C、D 项不符合语境中恐惧消除的逻辑。 【10题详解】 句意：白牙正在吃驼鹿肉，这时一只叫Baseek的老狗向他跑来。 根据“was eating... ran...”可知，此处考查“was doing... when...”句型，表示“正在做……这时……”。if引导条件状语从句，after和as soon as逻辑不通。 【11题详解】 句意：想要抢走肉。 根据上文“eating some cut-up moose”可知，老狗想抢的是白牙吃的“肉”。moose是驼鹿，不是beef（牛肉）。 【12题详解】 句意：他们站在肉上方互相盯着对方。 根据“stood... each other over the meat”可知，争斗前双方会对峙“看着”对方。look at符合语境。 【13题详解】 句意：然后Baseek向前迈步去拿肉。 根据“to take it”可知，要拿肉需要“向前”走。step forward为固定搭配。toward是介词，后需接宾语。 【14题详解】 句意：像往常一样，毫无警告地攻击。 根据“as usual”及白牙攻击的突然性，可知是“没有”警告。without warning为固定搭配，意为“突然/毫无预警”。 【15题详解】 句意：但白牙对于老狗来说太快了，割伤了他的鼻子。 根据“White Fang was one year old”与“old dog”对比，年轻意味着更“快”、更敏捷。successful和creative不符合打斗语境。 【16题详解】 句意：这给了白牙更多的自信。 根据主语White Fang可知，自信是对“他自己”的。confidence in himself符合语法和语境。 【17题详解】 句意：从那时起，没有其他狗挑战他了。 根据白牙赢得了战斗并获得了自信，其他狗不敢再“挑战”他。admired和promised不符合逻辑。 【18题详解】 句意：然后白牙有了另一段重要的经历。 根据下文“He had learned...”可知，这里说的是他生活中另一段重要的经历，experience侧重经历本身，符合语法和语境。 【19题详解】 句意：但母狼不记得她们旧的幼崽了。 根据下文“her new cubs”可知，此处与new形成对比，指白牙这个“旧的”幼崽。 【20题详解】 句意：他只是另一只危险的动物，可能会伤害她的新幼崽。 根据“dangerous animal”可知，母亲认为他“可能”构成威胁，表示推测。must语气太强，should表建议。 【21题详解】 句意：所以当白牙高兴地跑向她时。 根据“He remembered her”可知，白牙认出母亲，心情是“高兴的”。doubtful和angrily不符合亲情重逢的初衷。 【22题详解】 句意：他不理解，然后他走开了。 根据“she cut his cheek”及“He didn’t understand”可知，受到攻击后他选择物理上“离开”。moved on侧重心理放下，此处指动作。 【23题详解】 句意：他明白在他的生活中没有她的位置。 根据“understood”后接宾语从句，且从句“there was no place...”结构完整，不缺成分，故用that引导。 B） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后用方框中所给词的适当形式填空，并将答案填写到答题卡的相应位置。每个词限用一次。 drama among achieve lived hero face better wake show power speech The Awakening Age (《觉醒年代》) is the most meaningful and interesting TV ____24____ that I have ever seen.

The show encourages me ____34____ difficulties in a brave and positive (积极的) way. 【答案】24. drama 25. shown 26. power 27. wake 28. speeches 29. better 30. heroes 31. achieving 32. Among 33. lived 34. to face 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍电视剧《觉醒年代》，讲述剧集背景、观剧感悟，赞颂陈延年等革命先辈的英雄事迹，激励读者勇敢面对困境。 【24题详解】 句意：《觉醒年代》是我看过最有意义、最有趣的电视剧目。TV drama为固定搭配，意为“电视剧”；空格前有形容词修饰，需填入名词，备选词drama表示戏剧、剧目，符合“电视剧”语义；其余词汇均无法匹配TV的搭配语境，因此填drama。 【25题详解】 句意：它于2021年2月1日在央视一套首次播出。主语It指代剧集，剧集是“被播出”，此处为一般过去时被动语态，结构为was + 过去分词；show的过去分词是shown，符合被动语态语法；原形show、名词show均无法适配被动句式，因此填shown。 【26题详解】 句意：我能从这部剧中感受到青年的力量。固定搭配the power of…意为“……的力量”；空格前the、空格后of提示此处需填入名词，power作名词表示力量，贴合“青年力量”句意；其余词汇语义不匹配，因此填power。 【27题详解】 句意：为了唤醒人们正视这些问题，许多学生走上街头发表演讲。in order to后接动词原形，构成不定式表目的；固定短语wake up意为“唤醒”，符合“唤醒民众”的语境；to后必须使用动词原形，因此填wake。 【28题详解】 句意：许多学生在街上发表演讲。固定搭配give speeches意为“发表演讲”，表泛指时speech需变为复数形式speeches；空前无不定冠词a，不能用单数speech，因此填speeches。 【29题详解】 句意：他们竭尽全力为更美好的世界奋斗。后文将当下与旧中国做对比，暗含比较含义；形容词good的比较级better表示“更好的”，修饰名词world，契合“追求更美好的世界”语义；原级good无对比含义，因此填better。 【30题详解】 句意：这些民族英雄也怀揣理想建设光明祖国。指示代词these（这些）后必须接可数名词复数；hero的复数变形为heroes，指代前文投身救国的青年学生，因此填heroes。 【31题详解】 句意：他们坚持追逐远大理想。固定搭配stick to doing sth.意为“坚持做某事”，to是介词，后面动词要变为动名词；achieve表示实现（目标、理想），动名词形式为achieving，因此填achieving。 【32题详解】 句意：在所有角色之中，我最敬佩陈延年。此处表示“三者及以上人/物当中”，介词among符合语义；句首单词首字母必须大写；介词in、between均不能表达多者范围，因此填Among。 【33题详解】 句意：尽管他一生短暂，仅活到29岁。描述陈延年过往真实生平，时态为一般过去时；live表示“存活、活到”，过去式为lived，匹配历史事实的过去语境，因此填lived。 【34题详解】 句意：这部剧鼓励我以勇敢积极的方式直面困难。固定搭配encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”，不定式to do作宾语补足语；face difficulties表示面对困难，因此填to face。 四、阅读理解（本大题共23小题，每小题2分，共46分） A Summer Eats & Beats Fest Come to Riverside Market for our special food festival!

The others are the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the goat, the monkey, the rooster, the dog and the pig. There are different ideas about the origin of them. A popular story says, long long ago, God asked all the animals to pay him a visit on New Year’s Day. He said he would give the first 12 animals the title “the King of the Animal World” and let each hold the title for one year. Now you may be wondering why there is no year of the Cat, especially since cats have been popular as pets for thousands of years in China as well as in many other countries. Well, in the story, the cat was a day late to get to God’s palace. The mouse had played a trick on him. He lied to the cat by telling him a wrong date for the competition. ▲ Another story says that people have been using animals to symbolize years since ancient times. Different groups had different animals as their totems (图腾). Gradually, these animals were used to remember the years. This year is the year of the Rabbit. Do you know what will happen to you this month? Click on www.leiway.com to check it out. 38. Who asked animals to pay him a visit？ A. the mouse B. The cat C. The God D. The king of animal world 39. The third paragraph mainly talks about A. why the cat didn’t get the title B. why the mouse played a trick on the cat C. why the cat was not cleverer than the mouse D. why cats have been loved since long time ago 40. The cat reached God’s palace late because A. God did not like him B. God forgot to tell him the date C. the cat was told wrong information D. the cat had an accident on the way 41. Which of the following can be used to complete the paragraph three? A. The cat hated God from then on. B. As a result, the mouse got to the palace first. C. Then the mouse had to fight against the cat D. The cat got angry and has hated the mouse ever since. 42. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】38. C 39. A 40. C 41. D 42. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述十二生肖对应的十二种动物，介绍两种生肖起源传说，解释生肖中没有猫的缘由，最后点明今年是兔年并给出查询运势的网址。 【38题详解】 第二段指出原文句子：“long long ago, God asked all the animals to pay him a visit on New Year’s Day”，这直接说明是上帝(God)要求动物们前来拜访他。 【39题详解】 第三段开篇提出疑问：“Now you may be wondering why there is no year of the Cat”，整段完整讲述猫没能成为生肖的故事，因此本段主旨是解释猫没有生肖席位的原因。 【40题详解】 第三段写明细节：“The mouse had played a trick on him. He lied to the cat by telling him a wrong date for the competition”，说明老鼠告知了猫错误的比赛日期，这是猫迟到的原因。 【41题详解】 第三段前文交代老鼠欺骗猫、错报比赛日期，致使猫错过生肖评选，逻辑顺承可推出猫自此十分记恨老鼠，对应句子“The cat got angry and has hated the mouse ever since.”。 【42题详解】 第1段总起全文引出十二生肖话题；第2、3段讲解第一种生肖起源传说，第4段介绍第二种起源说法，第5段补充兔年查询的拓展信息；2、3、4、5四段均为对第一段主题的分述内容，全文没有段落概括前文内容形成二次总述，对应总分结构图示A。 C My morning started out as usual. I snoozed (打盹) twice, took care of my three cats, hurried to complete chores while drinking some coffee, and then raced out the door for my mid-morning appointment. By the time I finished my appointment, I was hungry. I stopped at a restaurant—Moe’s Southwest Grill to order a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) to take home and eat while working. Since it was a little before noon, there was a line. A woman, who I soon learned was Marcella, was paying at the register (柜台). She asked the woman behind her in line if she would like a drink and then asked me. We both said no, and must have looked confused, because she said, “I got you.” She continued to pay for both of our meals—even though we were strangers. I asked Marcella why she did this, and she shared that someone once did something similar for her. The person asked that she might pay it forward someday and she was making good on her promise. Before I left, she gave me a warm hug and asked only that I do an act of kindness for a stranger when I could. I arrived home, but instead of working through lunch, I sat and reflected on her kindness. Marcella didn’t need to pay for my lunch. But she did, and it brightened my day. Not because I got to keep my $15, but because she was kind—and did not want to receive anything in return. As I promised her, I plan on paying her kindness forward. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll make a small difference in someone else’s life, and the ripple effect (连锁反应) will continue. Because that’s what being human is all about—being kind—even to a stranger. 43. What is the correct order for the following events according to the passage? a. The writer finished her appointment. b. The writer stopped at a restaurant to order a burrito. c. Marcella paid for her lunch. d. The writer snoozed and took care of her three cats. e. The writer decided to pay the kindness forward. A. dabce B. abcde C. dbace D. dabec 44. What does this underlined word “this” in the passage refer to ? A. Our meals B. Strangers C. Pay for us D. Look confused. 45. What does the underlined phrase “pay it forward” mean in Paragraph4 mean? A. Paying for something before buying it. B. Asking others to pay for you and not paying back. C. Paying for something but forgetting to take it away. D. Paying back someone’s kindness by doing something kind. 46. The writer has decided to ________. A. find someone else to pay for her dinner B. do the similar thing and brighten someone else’s life C. continue doing research on the ripple effect D. find the person who bought Marcella’s lunch 47. What is the writer trying to teach us through this story? A. Don’t break your promises. B. Don’t refuse others’ kindness. C. Be busy and work hard each day. D. Be kind to others, even to strangers. 【答案】43. A 44. C 45. D 46. B 47. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者在餐厅被一位陌生女士Marcella善意地买单的经历，以及这件事如何感染作者，让她决定将这份善意传递下去。 【43题详解】 按照文章叙事顺序梳理事件：第一段开头“I snoozed twice, took care of my three cats,”表明作者先打盹、照顾三只猫（对应d），之后出门赴约；第二段开头“By the time I finished my appointment”表明作者完成约会（对应a），随后“I stopped at a restaurant—Moe’s Southwest Grill to order a burrito…”明确表示停下在餐厅点墨西哥卷饼（对应b）；第三段中“…She continued to pay for both of our meals…”讲述Marcella为作者的午餐付款（对应c）；最后一段中“I plan on paying her kindness forward”作者表明自己决定传递这份善意（对应e），正确顺序为dabce。 【44题详解】 this位于第四段开头句子中“I asked Marcella why she did this”。前一段（第三段）最后一句的“She continued to pay for both of our meals”说明了她做的事，即为身为陌生人的作者和另一位女士支付餐费，因此作者询问玛塞拉为什么要这么做，this指代的是“为我们付钱”这件事。 【45题详解】 根据上文“someone once did something similar for her”以及“she was making good on her promise”，并结合Marcella为作者买单的行为，可知曾经有人帮过Marcella，要求她日后将善意传递下去，Marcella正在践行这个承诺，“pay it forward”指的是通过做善事传递回报他人的善意，对应D选项描述。 【46题详解】 根据最后一段“I plan on paying her kindness forward.…I’ll make a small difference in someone else’s life”明确提到自己承诺Marcella会传递这份善意，希望能给他人的生活带来积极改变，可知作者决定做和Marcella类似的事，照亮他人的生活。 【47题详解】 文章最后一段“Because that’s what being human is all about—being kind—even to a stranger.”点明主题，为人的意义就在于善良，哪怕是对陌生人，可知作者想告诉我们要对他人善良，哪怕对方是陌生人。 D One thing needed for humans to live in space is food that can be grown outside Earth. Let’s look at some of the latest progress scientists have made in space farming. _________ Researchers at the University of Florida, US, have been able to grow plants in lunar (月球的) soil collected during the 1969-1972 NASA Apollo missions to the moon. Although the thale cress (拟南芥) they planted grew slower than normal, this has been seen as a scientific breakthrough. It is a step that may help us comprehend how to grow plants on the moon. _________ Researchers at a company called Aleph Farms have been growing artificial (人造的) meat in space. In 2019, a team from the company was sent to the International Space Station to 3D print meat. Now they want to see if meat cells (细胞) can have natural growth in space. “Biology behaves very differently in a different environment,” said the head of Aleph Farms’ space program. “So, we actually don’t know whether it can succeed in space or not.” _________ After a 23-day space journey on board, the Chang’e 5, 1,500 rice seeds have now succeeded in being planted on Earth and are growing in a greenhouse. They are set to be replanted at a research center of the South China Agricultural University. “The seeds have experienced special environments,” says Chen Zhiqiang, director of the lab center. The research is seen as an important step to decide which rice is the most suitable for space agriculture. With the development of science, we may live in space one day. 48.

The start of a new term can be an exciting but worrying time. ____53____ Feeling scared, worried or nervous about something is natural and normal. It’s a survival instinct (生存本能) in your brain that helps protect you from danger. ____54____ Fear can be helpful, but sometimes it feels like it’s too much and stops you from trying new things. This is when courage can help. ____55____ It can be about sharing worries and asking for help, trying something new or pushing yourself outside your comfort zone It doesn’t mean solving things alone or hiding your feelings. Instead, it means finding active ways to deal with something you find difficult. Lucy, aged 13, says, “Before my piano exam I felt really nervous, but I knew I could make it. After all, I’d been practicing for years. ____56____ Once I’d finished, I felt really good about myself and happy I’d done it.” ____57____ For example, we can try asking our parents how they overcome their fears. Their experiences can be quite good encouragement. Sometimes we have to feel the fear and do with it anyway. Just take a deep breath and give something a go, and we’ll make it. A. And what I just needed was to set my mind to it. B. Courage means different things to different people. C. That’s why your heart beats faster when you’re nervous. D. Even those unsuccessful examples can give us suggestions. E. We can learn how to face fears in an active way from people around us. F. However, being brave and facing your fears will help you enjoy new experiences. G. That includes sharing worries, asking for help and trying not to fight alone. 【答案】53. F 54. C 55. B 56. A 57. E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述紧张、恐惧是人类正常的生存本能，介绍勇气的不同含义，通过露西的钢琴考试事例说明直面恐惧的意义，并给出向身边人学习应对恐惧的方法。 【53题详解】 根据前文“The start of a new term can be an exciting but worrying time”（新学期既让人兴奋又令人担忧），前文抛出面对事物紧张却仍想尝试的话题，此处需要转折衔接勇敢面对恐惧的好处。F选项“However, being brave and facing your fears will help you enjoy new experiences.”用转折逻辑承接开学的焦虑，引出直面恐惧的作用。 【54题详解】 根据前文“It’s a survival instinct (生存本能) in your brain that helps protect you from danger”，解释紧张害怕是大脑的生存本能，此处需要承接本能带来的生理表现。C选项“That’s why your heart beats faster when you’re nervous.”用来解释紧张时心跳加速的生理原因，和前文生存本能形成因果逻辑。 【55题详解】 根据后文“It can be about sharing worries and asking for help, trying something new or pushing yourself outside your comfort zone”，后文具体列举勇气的多种表现，此处需要总起句引出勇气的不同含义。B选项“Courage means different things to different people.”总述勇气对每个人意义不同，引出后文的具体解释。 【56题详解】 根据前文露西自述“Before my piano exam I felt really nervous, but I knew I could make it. After all, I’d been practicing for years.”，讲述她考前紧张但长期练习的铺垫，此处承接她内心的想法。A选项“And what I just needed was to set my mind to it.”表达她只需要下定决心去完成考试，贴合露西的个人经历。 【57题详解】 根据后文“For example, we can try asking our parents how they overcome their fears.”，用举例说明向父母请教克服恐惧的方法，此处需要总起句引出向身边人学习应对恐惧。E选项“We can learn how to face fears in an active way from people around us.”总述我们可以向身边人学习积极面对恐惧的方式，引出后文父母的例子。 五. 补全对话 根据对话内容，从方框内选择恰当的句子填入对话相应的空白处，使对话完整。有两个多余选项。 A: Hello, is this Mr. Rogers?

A popular story says, long long ago, God asked all the animals to pay him a visit on New Year’s Day. He said he would give the first 12 animals the title “the King of the Animal World” and let each hold the title for one year. Now you may be wondering why there is no year of the Cat, especially since cats have been popular as pets for thousands of years in China as well as in many other countries. Well, in the story, the cat was a day late to get to God’s palace. The mouse had played a trick on him. He lied to the cat by telling him a wrong date for the competition. ▲ Another story says that people have been using animals to symbolize years since ancient times. Different groups had different animals as their totems (图腾). Gradually, these animals were used to remember the years. This year is the year of the Rabbit.

C My morning started out as usual. I snoozed (打盹) twice, took care of my three cats, hurried to complete chores while drinking some coffee, and then raced out the door for my mid-morning appointment. By the time I finished my appointment, I was hungry. I stopped at a restaurant—Moe’s Southwest Grill to order a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) to take home and eat while working. Since it was a little before noon, there was a line. A woman, who I soon learned was Marcella, was paying at the register (柜台). She asked the woman behind her in line if she would like a drink and then asked me. We both said no, and must have looked confused, because she said, “I got you.” She continued to pay for both of our meals—even though we were strangers. I asked Marcella why she did this, and she shared that someone once did something similar for her. The person asked that she might pay it forward someday and she was making good on her promise. Before I left, she gave me a warm hug and asked only that I do an act of kindness for a stranger when I could. I arrived home, but instead of working through lunch, I sat and reflected on her kindness. Marcella didn’t need to pay for my lunch. But she did, and it brightened my day. Not because I got to keep my $15, but because she was kind—and did not want to receive anything in return. As I promised her, I plan on paying her kindness forward. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll make a small difference in someone else’s life, and the ripple effect (连锁反应) will continue. Because that’s what being human is all about—being kind—even to a stranger. 43. What is the correct order for the following events according to the passage? a. The writer finished her appointment. b. The writer stopped at a restaurant to order a burrito. c. Marcella paid for her lunch. d. The writer snoozed and took care of her three cats. e. The writer decided to pay the kindness forward. A. dabce B. abcde C. dbace D. dabec 44. What does this underlined word “this” in the passage refer to ? A. Our meals B. Strangers C. Pay for us D. Look confused. 45. What does the underlined phrase “pay it forward” mean in Paragraph4 mean? A. Paying for something before buying it. B. Asking others to pay for you and not paying back. C. Paying for something but forgetting to take it away. D. Paying back someone’s kindness by doing something kind. 46. The writer has decided to ________. A. find someone else to pay for her dinner B. do the similar thing and brighten someone else’s life C. continue doing research on the ripple effect D. find the person who bought Marcella’s lunch 47. What is the writer trying to teach us through this story? A. Don’t break your promises. B. Don’t refuse others’ kindness. C. Be busy and work hard each day. D. Be kind to others, even to strangers. D One thing needed for humans to live in space is food that can be grown outside Earth. Let’s look at some of the latest progress scientists have made in space farming. _________ Researchers at the University of Florida, US, have been able to grow plants in lunar (月球的) soil collected during the 1969-1972 NASA Apollo missions to the moon. Although the thale cress (拟南芥) they planted grew slower than normal, this has been seen as a scientific breakthrough. It is a step that may help us comprehend how to grow plants on the moon. _________ Researchers at a company called Aleph Farms have been growing artificial (人造的) meat in space. In 2019, a team from the company was sent to the International Space Station to 3D print meat. Now they want to see if meat cells (细胞) can have natural growth in space. “Biology behaves very differently in a different environment,” said the head of Aleph Farms’ space program. “So, we actually don’t know whether it can succeed in space or not.” _________ After a 23-day space journey on board, the Chang’e 5, 1,500 rice seeds have now succeeded in being planted on Earth and are growing in a greenhouse. They are set to be replanted at a research center of the South China Agricultural University. “The seeds have experienced special environments,” says Chen Zhiqiang, director of the lab center. The research is seen as an important step to decide which rice is the most suitable for space agriculture. With the development of science, we may live in space one day. 48. What can we know about the thale cress in Paragraph 2? A. It was grown on the moon. B. It was planted in the soil taken from the moon. C. It grew faster than normal. D. It was collected from 1969 to 1972 by NASA. 49. What does the underlined word “comprehend” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. understand B. question C. remember D. forget 50. What did the head of Aleph Farms think of his program? A. Useless. B. Hopeless. C. Uncertain. D. Successful. 51. Match the title with each paragraph. a. Surviving in space b. Growing beef in space c. Testing for the best space rice d. Making small steps toward moon farming e. Telling the difference of the soil of the moon and the earth A. ①-a, ②-b, ③-c B. ①-b, ②-d, ③-e C. ①-e, ②-a, ③-c D. ①-d, ②-b, ③-c 52. Where is this passage probably taken from? A. history magazine. B. A science magazine. C. A story book D. A travel magazine B) 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选中，选出五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺，结构完整。 Have you ever felt nervous about something but wanted to try it anyway?
