When I was five, I once peeled off the paper that wrapped my crayons and snapped them in two. My great enthusiasm was dampened to find just more crayons inside. When I started writing words with pencils, I would twist them inside a sharpener to see if the pencil lead went all the way through the body. Growing up, I saw my television taken apart to reveal the inner workings that only made sense when I did a degree in physics.
Then I landed a career in engineering, spending six years as part of the team that designed the Shard, a famous building in London. Actually, whether I knew it or not, I was already on a mission to understand how things are formed.
After exploring the big, I decided to turn to the small. I realized whatever matter forms human-made objects, complex devices are made up of fundamental building blocks, without which our complex machinery wouldn’t exist.
It is this idea that inspired my book where I select what I believe are seven core elements that form the basis of the world — the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string. Together they compose a vast range of innovations in terms of their underlying scientific principles and the fields of engineering they touch. They’ve changed our technology and had a wide-ranging impact on our history, arts, culture, communication, political and power structures, etc.
The blender we use to make baby’s food relies on gears, which couldn’t exist without the wheel. The speaker on the phone relies on a magnet. Even when we think of larger and more complex objects, diggers, skyscrapers, satellites, we come back to the same seven foundational innovations.
So, look around you and ask questions about what you see: reignite that childhood curiosity. Hopefully, that will inspire you to investigate and lead you to a better understanding of the building blocks of our world.
41. The author mentions crayons in Paragraph 1 in order to ________.
A. explain his choice of college major
B. show his early passion for the insides of objects
C. highlight his disappointment at the discovery
D. demonstrate his fascination with tools
42. What made the author’s book possible?
A. His experience in designing buildings.
B. His understanding of the origin of things.
C. His finding of the components of machinery.
D. His perspective on the operation of the world.
43. What do we know about the seven core elements?
A. They throw light on scientific principles.
B. They have a profound influence on society.
C. They mark an era of technological innovation.
D. They represent the advancement in engineering.
44. The underlined word “reignite” means ________.
A. to repeat B. to ignore
C. to keep unchanged D. to make something strong again
45. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Unlocking Basic Formation of the World B. The Importance of Asking Questions
C. A Book on the Value of Big Dreams D. The Application of Core Elements
C
You are what you eat and what you eat may be encoded in your DNA. Studies have indicated that your genes play a role in determining the foods you find delicious or disgusting. But exactly how big a role they play has been difficult to figure out. “Everything has a genetic component, even if it’s small,” says Joanne Cole, a geneticist at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “We know that there is some genetic contribution to why we eat the foods we eat. Can we take the next step and actually locate the regions in the genome (基因组)?”
New research led by Cole has gotten a step closer. Through a large-scale genomics analysis, her team has identified 481 genome regions that were directly linked to dietary patterns and food preferences. The findings, which have not yet been peer-reviewed, were presented last month at the American Society for Nutrition’s annual conference.
The team based the new study on a 2020 Nature Communications study by Cole and her colleagues that used data from the U. K. Biobank, a public database of the genetic and health information of 500,000 participants. By scanning genomes, the new analysis was able to identify 194 regions associated with dietary patterns and 287 linked to specific foods such as fruit, cheese, fish, tea and alcohol. Further understanding how genetics impacts how we eat could reveal differences in nutritional needs or disease risks.
“One of the problems with a lot of these genomics studies is that they’re very small. They don’t have enough people to really be able to identify genes in ways that are credible (可信的). This study had a huge group of people, so it’s really powerful,” says Monica Dus, a geneticist at the University of Michigan. “The other thing that I think is really great is that there are so many different traits that they’re measuring related to diet, including cholesterol (胆固醇).” As the research advances, Dus says, such genome analysis could potentially assist health care providers and even policymakers to address larger issues that affect food access and health.
It’s definitely true that it may contribute to making sure there aren’t food deserts — areas which have limited access to fresh, healthy and affordable food — or to making sure that there’s a higher minimum wage so that everyone can afford to eat, although the journey ahead remains lengthy and challenging.
46. According to the passage, what influences a person’s food preferences?
A. Genetic factors within a person’s DNA.
B. A person’s knowledge about nutrition.
C. Cultural background and traditions.
D. The region where a person lives.
47. The researchers conducted the present study by ________.
A. involving a substantial number of participants
B. directly analyzing the data from a public database
C. building on a previous study based on large-scale data
D. identifying genome regions associated with dietary patterns
48. Monica Dus will probably agree that ________.
A. powerful participants were involved in the current study
B. the methods employed for the previous studies were credible
C. the genome analyses have helped address larger social issues
D. various features linked to diet were considered in the present study
49. What’s the author’s attitude towards the present study?
A. Critical. B. Optimistic. C. Skeptical. D. Indifferent.
50. What is the text mainly about?
A. The benefits of latest large-scale diet-related genome analyses.
B. The contribution of genes to diet patterns and food preferences.
C. The significance of a newly published diet-related genome discovery.
D. The introduction of a study on identifying diet-related genome regions.

She began to cry, softly at first just from the pure pain of being rejected. Three years of struggle had finally caught up with her. Then she cried harder and yelled.
Finally, she calmed down and an idea came to her. She decided to offer the old home care assistance since she had helped her mom. She printed off some cards and distributed them. Within a week, she had two new employers. Now, even though she’s not a CEO of a major company, she feels happy and productive again.

【解析】
【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意:虽然你的身份是永久的,但你的身份证有效期只有20年,必须定期更新。A.permanent永久的;B.temporary暂时的;C.immediate立即的;D.instant马上的。根据“ your identification card is valid only for 20 years and has to be renewed regularly.”可知,然你的身份是永久的,但你的身份证有效期只有20年,必须定期更新。故选A项。

A. settle down B. put down C. lay down D. get down
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语词义。句意:街上繁忙的交通产生了如此多的噪音,我无法静下心来做我的研究工作。A. settle down 静下心来,安定下来;B. put down 放下,记下;C. lay down 放下,制定;D. D. get down下来,写下。根据前文“With so many noises from the busy traffic in the street(街上繁忙的交通产生了如此多的噪音)”以及后文“do my research work(做我的研究工作)”可推断,噪音太大导致作者无法“静下心来”专注工作,settle down 符合语境。

【详解】句意:鉴于世博会的主题是促进文化交流,加强丝绸之路沿线国家之间的相互合作,敦煌是理想之地。A.Given that鉴于;B. Even though即使;C. As if好像;D. The moment一……就。前半句“the theme of the Expo was to promote cultural exchange and strengthen mutual cooperation between the countries along the Silk Road”是后半句“Dunhuang was the ideal place”的前提和原因,所以应该用Given that引导原因状语从句。
5. By the time we ________ from our school, we have been close friends for more than ten years.
A. graduated B. will graduate

7. I had as much fun sailing the seas as I now do _with students.
A. working B. work
C. to work D. worked

11. ________ some teenagers don’t realize is ________ difficult life can be after they get addicted to drugs.
A. That; how B. Which; what a
C. What; what D. What; how
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查连接词。句意:青少年所意识不到的是他们染上毒瘾后生活会变得多么艰难。分析句子可知,第一空是主语从句,从句中realize缺少宾语所以用关系代词what来充当宾语,表示“所……的”;第二空是表语从句,此句是一个感叹句,空后面的词是形容词difficult所以用how修饰。故D选项正确。
【点睛】what常用来引导名词性从句,即主语从句,宾语从句,表语从句和同位语从句。what在引导名词性从句时有两个重要的特点:
一是它在相应的名词性从句中一定有含义,常表示“什么”,“所…的”,“…的样子”等.
二是它在相应的名词性从句中一定做成分,而且常做主语,宾语或表语。
how引导的感叹句有三种结构形式;感叹副词how用来修饰其后的形容词或副词,也可以修饰动词。
1.How+形容词+主语+谓语!例如:
2.How+副词+主语+谓语!例如:
3.How+主语+谓语!例如:
what引导的感叹句也有三种结构形式;感叹形容词what作定语,用来修饰它后面的名词或词组。
1.what+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语!
2.what+形容词+可数名词复数+主语+谓语!
3.what+形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语!
分析句子可知,第一空是主语从句,从句中realize缺少宾语所以用关系代词what来充当宾语。第二空是表语从句,此句是一个感叹句,空后面的词是形容词difficult所以用how修饰。故D选项正确。
12. India was a British colony ________ and that’s why many people there can speak English.
A. at no time B. at a time C. at one time D. in no time
【答案】C
【解析】

13. — Although we live in a peaceful country, there are still many areas of the world at war.
— I think we should ________ solving international dispute by negotiation instead of appealing to arms.

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:——虽然我们生活在一个和平的国家,但世界上仍有许多地区处于战争状态。——我认为我们应该主张通过谈判解决国际争端,而不是诉诸武力。A. acknowledge承认;B. anticipate预期;C. forbid禁止;D. advocate主张。根据“solving international dispute by negotiation instead of appealing to arms.”可知,此处表达“主张”通过谈判解决争端。
14. The fellow we spoke ________ no comment at first.
A. to make B. to made
C. made D. to making
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查谓语动词。句意:和我们说话的那个人一开始没有发表评论。we spoke作the fellow的定语从句,speak不及物,表示和某人谈话应用speak to sb.故该定语从句补充完整为we spoke to,剩余部分为主句,根据spoke可知,主句叙述的是过去的事情,故谓语动词应用made。综上,该空应填to made。B选项正确。
15. — Could you lend me $600 to buy a new iPhone?
— ________. No way.
A. Forget it B. Don’t mention it C. It’s up to you D. That depends
【答案】A

B
When I was five, I once peeled off the paper that wrapped my crayons and snapped them in two. My great enthusiasm was dampened to find just more crayons inside. When I started writing words with pencils, I would twist them inside a sharpener to see if the pencil lead went all the way through the body. Growing up, I saw my television taken apart to reveal the inner workings that only made sense when I did a degree in physics.
Then I landed a career in engineering, spending six years as part of the team that designed the Shard, a famous building in London. Actually, whether I knew it or not, I was already on a mission to understand how things are formed.
After exploring the big, I decided to turn to the small. I realized whatever matter forms human-made objects, complex devices are made up of fundamental building blocks, without which our complex machinery wouldn’t exist.
It is this idea that inspired my book where I select what I believe are seven core elements that form the basis of the world — the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string. Together they compose a vast range of innovations in terms of their underlying scientific principles and the fields of engineering they touch. They’ve changed our technology and had a wide-ranging impact on our history, arts, culture, communication, political and power structures, etc.
The blender we use to make baby’s food relies on gears, which couldn’t exist without the wheel. The speaker on the phone relies on a magnet. Even when we think of larger and more complex objects, diggers, skyscrapers, satellites, we come back to the same seven foundational innovations.
So, look around you and ask questions about what you see: reignite that childhood curiosity. Hopefully, that will inspire you to investigate and lead you to a better understanding of the building blocks of our world.
41. The author mentions crayons in Paragraph 1 in order to ________.
A. explain his choice of college major
B. show his early passion for the insides of objects
C. highlight his disappointment at the discovery
D. demonstrate his fascination with tools
42. What made the author’s book possible?
A. His experience in designing buildings.
B. His understanding of the origin of things.
C. His finding of the components of machinery.
D. His perspective on the operation of the world.
43. What do we know about the seven core elements?
A. They throw light on scientific principles.
B. They have a profound influence on society.
C. They mark an era of technological innovation.
D. They represent the advancement in engineering.
44. The underlined word “reignite” means ________.
A. to repeat B. to ignore
C. to keep unchanged D. to make something strong again
45. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Unlocking Basic Formation of the World B. The Importance of Asking Questions
C. A Book on the Value of Big Dreams D. The Application of Core Elements
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. B 44. D 45. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了作者从童年拆解物品的好奇心出发,最终探索世界七大基础元素的历程与思考。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was five, I once peeled off the paper that wrapped my crayons and snapped them in two. My great enthusiasm was dampened to find just more crayons inside. When I started writing words with pencils, I would twist them inside a sharpener to see if the pencil lead went all the way through the body. Growing up, I saw my television taken apart to reveal the inner workings that only made sense when I did a degree in physics.(我五岁的时候,有一次我剥开包着蜡笔的纸,把它们掰成两半。结果发现里面不过还是蜡笔,我的热情被浇灭了。当我开始用铅笔写字时,我会把它们拧进卷笔刀里,看看铅笔芯是否贯通整个笔身。在我成长的过程中,我看到我的电视被拆开,那些内部运作原理我直到取得物理学学位才弄明白)”可知,作者提及蜡笔是为了展现自己从小就对物体内部构造充满好奇。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“I realized whatever matter forms human-made objects, complex devices are made up of fundamental building blocks, without which our complex machinery wouldn’t exist.(我意识到,无论构成人造物品的是何种物质,复杂的设备都是由基本的构建块组成的,没有这些构建块,我们的复杂机器就不会存在)”以及第四段首句“It is this idea that inspired my book where I select what I believe are seven core elements that form the basis of the world — the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string.(正是这个想法启发了我的书,我在书中选择了我认为构成世界基础的七个核心元素——钉子、轮子、弹簧、磁铁、透镜、泵和绳子)”可知,作者是在发现了复杂机械皆由基础构件组成这一事实后,才萌生了写书的念头。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“They’ve changed our technology and had a wide-ranging impact on our history, arts, culture, communication, political and power structures, etc.(它们改变了我们的技术,并对我们的历史、艺术、文化、通信、政治和权力结构等产生了广泛影响)”可知,这七大核心元素对社会产生了深远的影响。
【44题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“So, look around you and ask questions about what you see: reignite that childhood curiosity.(所以,看看周围,对你所看到的东西提出问题:reignite那份童年的好奇心)”可知,作者鼓励人们重拾儿时爱探究的天性,reignite在此意为“重新点燃、再次激发”,与D项“to make something strong again(使某物再次变得强烈)”含义相符。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“I realized whatever matter forms human-made objects, complex devices are made up of fundamental building blocks, without which our complex machinery wouldn’t exist.(我意识到,无论人造物品由何种物质构成,复杂的设备都是由基本的构建块组成的,没有这些构建块,我们的复杂机器就不会存在)”以及全文内容可知,文章围绕作者探索世界基本构成单元(七大核心元素)的经历与发现展开,A项“Unlocking Basic Formation of the World(解锁世界的基本构成)”准确涵盖了文章的核心主题。
C
You are what you eat and what you eat may be encoded in your DNA. Studies have indicated that your genes play a role in determining the foods you find delicious or disgusting. But exactly how big a role they play has been difficult to figure out. “Everything has a genetic component, even if it’s small,” says Joanne Cole, a geneticist at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “We know that there is some genetic contribution to why we eat the foods we eat. Can we take the next step and actually locate the regions in the genome (基因组)?”
New research led by Cole has gotten a step closer. Through a large-scale genomics analysis, her team has identified 481 genome regions that were directly linked to dietary patterns and food preferences. The findings, which have not yet been peer-reviewed, were presented last month at the American Society for Nutrition’s annual conference.
The team based the new study on a 2020 Nature Communications study by Cole and her colleagues that used data from the U. K. Biobank, a public database of the genetic and health information of 500,000 participants. By scanning genomes, the new analysis was able to identify 194 regions associated with dietary patterns and 287 linked to specific foods such as fruit, cheese, fish, tea and alcohol. Further understanding how genetics impacts how we eat could reveal differences in nutritional needs or disease risks.
“One of the problems with a lot of these genomics studies is that they’re very small. They don’t have enough people to really be able to identify genes in ways that are credible (可信的). This study had a huge group of people, so it’s really powerful,” says Monica Dus, a geneticist at the University of Michigan. “The other thing that I think is really great is that there are so many different traits that they’re measuring related to diet, including cholesterol (胆固醇).” As the research advances, Dus says, such genome analysis could potentially assist health care providers and even policymakers to address larger issues that affect food access and health.
It’s definitely true that it may contribute to making sure there aren’t food deserts — areas which have limited access to fresh, healthy and affordable food — or to making sure that there’s a higher minimum wage so that everyone can afford to eat, although the journey ahead remains lengthy and challenging.
46. According to the passage, what influences a person’s food preferences?
A. Genetic factors within a person’s DNA.
B. A person’s knowledge about nutrition.
C. Cultural background and traditions.
D. The region where a person lives.
47. The researchers conducted the present study by ________.
A. involving a substantial number of participants
B. directly analyzing the data from a public database
C. building on a previous study based on large-scale data
D. identifying genome regions associated with dietary patterns
48. Monica Dus will probably agree that ________.
A. powerful participants were involved in the current study
B. the methods employed for the previous studies were credible
C. the genome analyses have helped address larger social issues

Maggie was living an average comfortable life. It was made even better when a beautiful baby girl came her way.
Maggie was a partner in her husband’s business. They both had a different set of duties which kept everything in balance. One day a hard blow came to her husband’s business and over a three-year period the business dropped out of sight. Her husband had to totally reinvent himself and fulfill a dream with a new job. She was happy for him and supported him fully, but still the money was not coming in.
Maggie began to feel guilty that she wasn’t contributing with any kind of income. She began job hunting and found filling out applications somewhat difficult, especially the part asking for job references. She was self-employed with her husband for almost 20 years. It felt as though that didn’t count for anything.
One of the first applications she had filled out finally came through. She passed the interview with flying colors and was told she was exactly what they were looking for. Although it was only part time, it was exactly what she wanted. It was important for her to be home when her daughter. arrived home from school. She was told they would be in touch when the schedule was ready.
Within a few weeks though, she received an e-mail saying that the company had changed the job into a full-time position and she was not qualified. Maggie was so upset. She began to cry, softly at first just from the pure pain of being rejected. Three years of struggle had finally caught up with her. Then she cried harder and yelled.
Finally, she calmed down and an idea came to her. She decided to offer the old home care assistance since she had helped her mom. She printed off some cards and distributed them. Within a week, she had two new employers. Now, even though she’s not a CEO of a major company, she feels happy and productive again.

Wetland Conservation
As vital natural ecosystems, wetlands play a key role in maintaining ecological balance. However, they are facing serious threats nowadays. Many wetlands are shrinking sharply, and their biodiversity has decreased greatly, with many water plants and wild animals losing their habitats.
Several factors lead to this worrying situation. First, widespread urban expansion occupies large areas of wetland. Second, industrial and domestic waste water pollutes wetland water bodies, destroying the living environment of creatures.
It is high time we took action to protect wetlands. The government should make strict laws to limit wetland destruction. Meanwhile, we students can raise public awareness of wetland protection. Only joint efforts can save precious wetlands and sustain our ecological environment.
