He came up with the idea after he dropped his daughter off at college in upstate New York. The school had about a dozen professors giving short talks about a variety of subjects. All the parents had the same reaction: “I wish I were the one going to college!” One Day University creates fascinating days of learning designed to inspire your mind. We work with over two hundred professors from the country’s top colleges to create events. No matter what you love, you’ll find that every One Day U event is filled with exploratory talks that will challenge you as if you were a student in college once again!

Just learning for the sake of learning!(在One Day U，没有作业，也没有分数。为学习而学习！)”可知，本文介绍的是One Day University这个活动，目的是为这个活动打广告，故选C。 B After lab-grown meat, are you getting ready for animal-free cow’s milk? A San Francisco startup believes it has found a solution. Through a combination of yeast(酵母), cow DNA and plant nutrients, Perfect Day claims to have created a product identical in taste and nutritional value to cow’s milk, but without any cows involved. It will satisfy consumers who love eating dairy(乳制品的)ice-cream, cheese and yoghurt, but loathe factory-style farming and its environmental footprint. Sales of milk alternatives such as soy, coconut and more recently pea milk are expected to be on the rise. But until now they have not cut traditional milk and dairy production. “The alternatives for yoghurt, cheese and ice-cream are so bad that people don’t even want to try them,” says Perfect Day co-founder Ryan Pandya. The missing ingredient (成分)in plant-based alternatives is cow’s milk proteins. To make the animal-free cow’s milk, Perfect Day puts cow DNA—which is readily available thanks to decades of research by the dairy industry—into yeast and adds sugar to create cow’s milk proteins through fermentation (发酵). These milk proteins are then combined with sugar, fats and nutrients to create the final product. “We’re taking plant nutrients and transforming them into animal proteins the same way that cows do, using the same milk proteins as found in cow’s milk, but much more efficiently, because we’re using a yeast cell not an animal,” said Pandya. Although comparisons have been made with lab-grown meat, Pandya said they are not using novel technology. Many people initially go ‘oh is this like lab or test-tube milk’, but that’s wrong. There are no test tubes in our fermentation process. The meat folks are trying to invent technology that doesn’t exist today, but our milk is made through techniques that have been in use for more than three decades. 4．What does the underlined word “loathe” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Ignore. B．Hate. C．Doubt. D．Tolerate. 5．Which of the following is a part of Perfect Day’s milk-making process? A．Mixing cow DNA with yeast and sugar. B．Adding sugar and fats to plant milk. C．Mixing plant milk with cow milk. D．Adding cow DNA to plant milk. 6．How is Perfect Day’s milk different from pea milk? A．It costs less energy. B．It is cheaper in price. C．It has cow’s milk proteins. D．It contains less sugar and fats. 7．What does Pandya think of their product? A．It tastes like test-tube milk. B．It needs to be tested further. C．It is well-received by green food lovers. D．It is produced with existing technology. 【答案】4．B 5．A 6．C 7．D 【难度】0.65 【知识点】食物与饮料 、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一家旧金山的公司找到了创造无动物牛奶的解决方案，该方案不需要使用任何奶牛，就可以生产出营养价值与牛奶相同的产品。 【详解】4．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“It will satisfy consumers who love eating dairy(乳制品的)ice-cream, cheese and yoghurt, but loathe factory-style farming and its environmental footprint.(它将满足那些喜欢吃乳制品冰淇淋、奶酪和酸奶，但loathe工厂化农业及其环境足迹的消费者。)”可知，此处前后是转折关系，前半句说消费者喜欢吃乳制品类，所以可知后半句的loathe含义与前半句的love相反，即loathe意为“不喜欢，厌恶”，与B项的Hate“厌恶”意思相近。故选B项。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段的“To make the animal-free cow’s milk, Perfect Day puts cow DNA—which is readily available thanks to decades of research by the dairy industry—into yeast and adds sugar to create cow’s milk proteins through fermentation(发酵). These milk proteins are then combined with sugar, fats and nutrients to create the final product.(为了制造无动物牛奶，Perfect Day将奶牛DNA——得益于乳制品行业数十年的研究这种DNA很容易获得——放入酵母中，并添加糖，通过发酵产生牛奶蛋白质。这些牛奶蛋白然后与糖、脂肪和营养物质结合，形成最终产品。)”可知，要制成这种无动物的牛奶，需要将奶牛的DNA放入酵母中，再添加糖，使它们之间发生反应，最终才能制成产品。故选A项。 6．细节理解题。根据第四段的“The missing ingredient in plant-based alternatives is cow’s milk proteins. To make the animal-free cow’s milk, Perfect Day puts cow DNA—which is readily available thanks to decades of research by the dairy industry—into yeast and adds sugar to create cow’s milk proteins through fermentation. (植物替代品中缺少的成分是牛奶蛋白。为了制造无动物牛奶，Perfect Day将奶牛DNA——得益于乳制品行业数十年的研究这种DNA很容易获得——放入酵母中，并添加糖，通过发酵产生牛奶蛋白质。)”可知，像豆类这种植物牛奶是没有牛奶蛋白这种成分的，而无动物牛奶可以通过将奶牛的DNA与酵母和糖混合，然后产生牛奶蛋白，因此可知这两种牛奶的区别在于Perfect Day的牛奶有牛奶蛋白。故选C项。 7．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Although comparisons have been made with lab-grown meat, Pandya said they are not using novel technology. Many people initially go ‘oh is this like lab or test-tube milk’, but that’s wrong. There are no test tubes in our fermentation process. The meat folks are trying to invent technology that doesn’t exist today, but our milk is made through techniques that have been in use for more than three decades.(尽管已经与实验室培育的肉进行了比较，潘迪亚说他们没有使用新技术。许多人最初会问‘哦，这是实验室还是试管牛奶’，但这是错误的。我们的发酵过程中没有试管。肉类行业的人们正试图发明今天并不存在的技术，但我们的牛奶是通过已经使用了三十多年的技术制成的。)”可知，这种无动物牛奶是使用三十多年的技术制成的，也就是说使用的是现有的技术，而不是通过新技术制成的。故选D项。 C Cosplayers can invest considerable time, money and effort into making best head-to-toe presentations that are one-of-a-kind. But what inspires cosplayers to present themselves with so many detailed artistic designs? Psychologists try to reveal the facts through research. When a cosplayer selects a particular costume, he/she is often getting inside a specific character—or combination of characters—because something about that role speaks to them personally, according to Robin S. Rosenberg, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco. Batman, for example, can be an especially meaningful cosplay choice for someone coping with trauma. The dark superhero faced destructive trauma when he was a child—witnessing the cruel and violent murder of his parents—which he overcame to become a hero. “When people are dressed as Batman, many talk about having experienced their own traumatic experiences,” Rosenberg said. “He survived and found meaning and purpose from his experience, and that is inspiring to them.” Rosenberg noted that Wonder Woman is another popular choice which calls up many women’s feelings, partly because she holds her own in the male-dominated world of costumed comics superheroes. “For those cosplayers, dressing as Wonder Woman is a way of celebrating and embracing her power,” Rosenberg said. Cosplay is a type of performance, which frequently moves strangers to approach the character for conversation and photos. So it surprised Rosenberg to discover that many cosplayers were identified as introverts. “When they wore a costume, they became much more socially outgoing,” Rosenberg said. She explained that, sometimes, wearing a costume allows a person to obtain confidence they didn't know they had, and helps them overcome shyness in real life. “When you do any kind of costuming—but particularly cosplay—on the one hand, it gives you permission to step outside yourself,” Rosenberg said. “But on the other hand, it can bring out something in you that doesn’t usually come out.” 8．What does Rosenberg try to convey in Paragraph 2? A．Cosplayers have a special liking for costumes. B．Cosplayers play different roles within one day. C．Cosplayers have nothing to do but talk to themselves. D．Cosplayers express themselves through costumes. 9．Batman and Wonder Woman are cited to reveal cosplayers’ ________. A．childhood abuse B．need to repair personal difficulties C．gender inequality D．eagerness to defeat other people 10．Why did Rosenberg feel surprised? A．Cosplayers changed their personality once in costumes. B．Cosplayers couldn’t wait to socialize when costumed. C．Many cosplayers attracted strangers to talk with them. D．So many cosplayers were considered as pessimistic people. 11．What may serve as the most suitable title of the text? A．Devotion to cosplay B．People in costumes C．Batman or Wonder Woman D．Psychology behind cosplay 【答案】8．D 9．B 10．A 11．D 【难度】0.65 【知识点】科普知识 、社会问题与社会现象、说明文 【分析】这是一篇说明文。角色扮演者可以投入相当多的时间、金钱和精力来做出最好的从头到脚的展示，这是独一无二的。但是是什么激发了角色扮演者们用如此多的细节艺术设计来呈现自己呢？心理学家试图通过研究揭示事实。全篇文章都在剖析角色扮演者背后的心理原因，并用具体的人物来说明。 8．推理判断题。根据第二段“When a cosplayer selects a particular costume, he/she is often getting inside a specific character—or combination of characters—because something about that role speaks to them personally, according to Robin S. Rosenberg, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco.(加州大学旧金山分校的临床心理学家Robin S. Rosenberg说，当一个角色扮演者选择一套特定的服装时，他/她通常是进入了一个特定的角色——或角色的组合——因为这个角色的某些东西与他们本人相契合)”可推知，Rosenberg在第二段中试图表达角色扮演者通过服装表达自己。  故选D。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段“Batman, for example, can be an especially meaningful cosplay choice for someone coping with trauma. The dark superhero faced destructive trauma when he was a child—witnessing the cruel and violent murder of his parents—which he overcame to become a hero. “When people are dressed as Batman, many talk about having experienced their own traumatic experiences,” Rosenberg said. “He survived and found meaning and purpose from his experience, and that is inspiring to them.”(例如，蝙蝠侠是一个特别有意义的角色扮演选择，对于那些正在应对创伤的人来说。这位黑暗的超级英雄在童年时目睹了父母被残忍而暴力地杀害，他经历了毁灭性的创伤，最终成为了英雄。Rosenberg说：“当人们装扮成蝙蝠侠的时候，很多人都在谈论自己经历过的创伤经历，他活了下来，并从他的经历中找到了意义和目标，这对他们来说是鼓舞人心的。”)”以及第四段“Rosenberg noted that Wonder Woman is another popular choice which calls up many women’s feelings, partly because she holds her own in the male-dominated world of costumed comics superheroes. For those cosplayers, dressing as Wonder Woman is a way of celebrating and embracing her power, Rosenberg said. (Rosenberg指出，神奇女侠是另一个受欢迎的选择，它唤起了许多女性的情感，部分原因是她在男性主导的服装漫画超级英雄世界中保持了自己的地位。 “对于这些角色扮演者来说，装扮成神奇女侠是一种庆祝和拥抱她的力量的方式，”Rosenberg说)”可知，蝙蝠侠和神奇女侠揭示了角色扮演者需要修复自身问题。故选B。 10．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“So it surprised Rosenberg to discover that many cosplayers were identified as introverts. “When they wore a costume, they became much more socially outgoing,” Rosenberg said.(因此，Rosenberg惊讶地发现，许多角色扮演者都被认为是内向的。“当他们穿上服装时，他们在社交方面变得更加外向，” Rosenberg说)”可知，Rosenberg感到惊讶是因为角色扮演者一旦穿上戏服就会改变个性。故选A。 11．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cosplayers can invest considerable time, money and effort into making best head-to-toe presentations that are one-of-a-kind. But what inspires cosplayers to present themselves with so many detailed artistic designs? Psychologists try to reveal the facts through research.(角色扮演者可以投入相当多的时间、金钱和精力来做出最好的从头到脚的展示，这是独一无二的。但是是什么激发了角色扮演者们用如此多的细节艺术设计来呈现自己呢？心理学家试图通过研究揭示事实)”结合全篇文章都在剖析角色扮演者背后的心理原因，并用具体的人物来说明。可知，D选项“角色扮演背后的心理学”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D One steamy July afternoon in central Arkansas, I was working on an important project in my home office with a dear friend and colleague. My trusty printer was churning out (快速生产) a time-sensitive report when it simply stopped. After fifteen minutes of trying to repair, I decided to buy a new printer. Upon our return, my heart froze to see my house on fire. Despite having spent much of my life writing, I was still lost for adequate words to describe the sick, sinking feeling of seeing your home, business, and belongings going up in flames along with photographs and memories collected over a lifetime. But the panic that filled my shocked heart in that awful moment was for the nine cats that shared my home after being rescued from situations of abuse and abandonment. Responding to an early security-system warning, the amazing firefighters arrived in record time, but the chemical-laden smoke had already caused deaths. I examined and kissed each cat goodbye, extremely grateful that they had passed gently, without injuries or burns. Only animal lovers really understand the unbelievable impact that the loss of one beloved four-legged family member can have on your heart, mind and soul. The loss of so many dearly loved creatures sent me reeling (发蒙). After staying with another great friend for a couple of weeks, I was relocated to a furnished apartment. One evening, about a month after moving in, I was occupied in writing a mystery novel when a falsetto “meow” sounded from outside the apartment door. Was it my mind playing tricks again? More than once I had heard, seen or felt the brush of one of my departed furry roommates. The meow grew louder and more insistent. Curious, I opened the door. Sitting on the doorstep was a kitten (小猫) with an exotic black coat and alert amber eyes.  A neighbor walking by picked him up and began petting him. When I remarked how cute her kitten was, she explained that he had been born under a bridge and looked around for food.  This kitty－loving neighbor was quick to offer an extra litter box if I was interested in giving him a home. My immediate reaction was a facetious (开玩笑的) “that’s all I need!” After all, my resolution(决心)had been well reasoned and remained firm. But without hesitation she put the adorable kitten down. I thanked her and closed the door, resolved to just let him stay until a real home could be found. That night, as I slid between the sheets of the still unfamiliar bed in the still unfamiliar apartment, the energetic little fur ball jumped onto the bed, yawned dramatically, and nestled by my side.  Those who have never shared a sleep with a creature or two may not relate, but that was the first night since the fire that I actually slept. Stubbornly determined not to open myself to more animals—to more pain—I had refused to admit how desperately I missed having a warm fuzzy cuddled (依偎) close. Needless to say, the cat community knew the precise prescription for healing far better than I. The name Starlight (Star for short) seemed perfect because that night he brought some light back into my life. Star adores wrestling rubber bands, races up and down the stairs, darts outside anytime the door opens, suddenly appears everywhere I don’t want him to be, holds onto the broom while I’m trying to sweep, and rolls in catnip or whatever else happens to be on the floor. In hindsight (事后看来), a better name might have been “Star, Stop It!” In the five years since the fire, we have been through a lot, Starlight and I. We returned to the house, managed to keep the business alive, brought the mystery novel to the final edits before it’s submitted in hopes of publication, and made a lot more resolutions. Star helped me through a massive, yet untraditional, healing of spirit. The memories of the kitties that passed in the fire now spark only warmth in my heart and win some smiles. Every single day, I appreciate the serendipitous (有意外收获的) nature of the Universe that sent me hope in the form of a little black furball. So take a little advice from my furry friend: no matter how hopeless things may become or how fixed your resolution may be, open the door whenever opportunity knocks. It just might be a star to light your way. 12．What probably caused the author to open the door? A．The idea of seeing his beloved four－legged family member again. B．The impact of the loss of loved creatures on his mind and soul. C．The brush of his departed furry roommates playing tricks on him. D．The curiosity about the novel written in memory of his cats. 13．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 mean? A．The author desired to make friends with a cat-loving neighbor. B．The author made a decision not to take in any animals. C．The author didn’t consider a cat-loving neighbor as a friend. D．The author made a decision to adopt other animals. 14．The author had had a good sleep for the first time since the fire mainly because ________. A．he never shared a sleep with a kitten B．he refused to admit missing a kitten C．he determined to open himself to pain D．he accepted the kitten and slept with it 15．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Dream for Kittens B．Ways to Remove Sadness C．The Power of Resolutions D．Starlight to Give Hope 【答案】12．A 13．B 14．D 15．D 【难度】0.65 【知识点】哲理感悟、人与动植物、记叙文 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了因为一次火灾，作者失去了自己心爱的猫咪，由此决定不在领养小猫，但是因为一次偶然，另外一只小猫给了作者重拾希望的勇气的故事。 【详解】12．细节理解题。根据第四段中“One evening, about a month after moving in, I was occupied in writing a mystery novel when a falsetto “meow” sounded from outside the apartment door. Was it my mind playing tricks again? More than once I had heard, seen or felt the brush of one of my departed furry roommates. The meow grew louder and more insistent. Curious, I opened the door.(搬进来大约一个月后的一个晚上，我正忙着写一本推理小说，突然门外传来假声的“喵”声。是我的大脑又在恶作剧吗?我不止一次听到、看到或感觉到我的一个毛茸茸的室友。猫叫声越来越大，越来越响。出于好奇，我打开了门。)”可知，一想到能再次见到作者心爱的小猫，作者开了门。故选A。 13．词句猜测题。根据划线词前面“My immediate reaction was a facetious (开玩笑的) “that’s all I need!” (我的第一反应是开玩笑地说：“这就是我需要的！”)”以及划线词后文“But without hesitation she put the adorable kitten down. I thanked her and closed the door, resolved to just let him stay until a real home could be found.(但她毫不犹豫地把可爱的小猫放下了。我谢过她，关上门，决定让它待在这里，直到找到一个真正的家。)”可知，后文与前文构成转折关系，作者本来下定决心，决定不在收养小动物了。但最后还是毫不犹豫地领养了小猫。故划线词的意思是“作者决定不收留任何动物。”故选B。 14．推理判断题。根据第七段中“Those who have never shared a sleep with a creature or two may not relate, but that was the first night since the fire that I actually slept. Stubbornly determined not to open myself to more animals—to more pain—I had refused to admit how desperately I missed having a warm fuzzy cuddled (依偎) close.(那些从未和一两个生物共眠的人可能不会联想到这一点，但那是火灾后我真正睡着的第一个晚上。我固执地决定不让自己面对更多的动物——更多的痛苦——我拒绝承认我是多么渴望有一个温暖的毛茸茸的拥抱。)”可知，作者因为曾经的火灾，失去了自己领养的九只猫咪时就决定已经不在领养猫咪了。由此作者总是辗转难眠。可是自从该猫咪的出现后，作者从内心深处接受它，由此才是火灾后作者真正睡着的第一个晚上。故选D。 15．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So take a little advice from my furry friend: no matter how hopeless things may become or how fixed your resolution may be, open the door whenever opportunity knocks. It just might be a star to light your way.(所以，请接受我这位毛茸茸的朋友的一点建议：无论事情变得多么无望，无论你的决心多么坚定，当机会来敲门时，请打开门。它可能只是一颗照亮你道路的星星。)”以及通读文章可知，因为一次火灾，作者失去了自己心爱的猫咪，由此决定不在领养小猫，但是因为一次偶然，另外一只小猫给了作者重拾希望的勇气的故事。而这只小猫对于作者来说就是星光，星光照亮前行的道路没有让作者失去勇气。所以这篇文章的最佳标题是“星光给与希望”。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Each place on this planet has its own unique traits culture and customs. In addition, different locales have their own languages and dialects. 16 As people travel more frequently, they exchange goods and ideas. Thus, the blending of cultures has become easier and more commonplace. In the age of globalization, one may argue that language acts as a barrier to communication. Individual dialects may divide people even further. 17 Dialects are important for international business. Read on to learn how. DIALECTS RETAIN IDENTITY Many cultures use different words or pronunciations for the same thing. 18 Many times, exact translations are impossible. For example, one language may have a specific word for something, while another does not. If each language were standardized with the same set of words and pronunciations, cultures would lose their identities. DIALECTS HELP SPREAD CREATIVITY New words spread freely throughout different cultures thanks to world travel and the internet. In our modern society, each person can travel to experience new things. By learning new languages and dialects, a person expands his or her mind. Opening one’s mind promotes creativity. 19 Therefore, as we interact internationally, these exchanges lead to innovations. DIALECTS INCREASE INDEPENDENCE 20 Even though a small group is part of a larger whole, their unique form of expression sets them apart. Their uniqueness provides them a sense of independence. Oftentimes, people from a specific area take pride in their dialect. Differences enhance cultural diversity and increase independence. Without diversity, our world would not progress in business or technology. Our world needs dialects and individual expression to keep cultures alive for future generations. Preserving dialects is good for creativity, innovation, and business. A．The free exchange of ideas leads to new ideas. B．Unique pronunciations help give a culture its identity. C．A dialect, by definition, is specific to a region or group. D．When exchanging ideas, they feel comfortable speaking dialects. E．Therefore, a standardized language is crucial in the communication. F．However, dialects express the unique qualities of a particular region. G．Language and dialects preserve the unique cultural elements of a given place. 【答案】16．G 17．F 18．B 19．A 20．C 【难度】0.4 【知识点】语言与文化 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了方言有自己独特的特征，能促进创新、交流与商业经济。 【详解】16．根据上文“Each place on this planet has its own unique tracts culture and customs. In addition, different locales have their own languages and dialect(地球上的每个地方都有自己独特的地域、文化和习俗。此外，不同的地区有自己的语言和方言。)”，可知方言和本地独有文化关系紧密， G项中“Language and dialects”和“ unique cultural elements of a given place.”承接上文，说明了语言和方言对于保护本地文化的意义。故选G。 17．根据上文“Individual dialects may divide people even further.(不同的方言可能会使人们之间的差异更大。)”表明方言让人们的距离更远，而后文“Dialects arc important for international business.(方言对国际贸易很重要。)”说明方言促进这人们的交流，因此空处应该是表转折的含义 ，F项however表示转折，且“dialects express the unique qualities of a particular region.(方言表达了一个特定地区的独特品质。)”说明了方言为何能够促进交流的原因，引出后文。故选F。 18．根据小标题“DIALECTS RETAIN IDENTITY(方言保留了特性)”和前文“Many cultures use different words or pronunciations for the same thing(许多文化对同一事物使用不同的词语或发音)”,可知正是发音和表达的不同让方言与众不同，拥有自己的身份。B项，“unique pronunciation”和“identity”正是对前一句的总结，并与小标题呼应。故选B。 19．根据后文“Therefore, as we interact internationally, these exchanges lead to innovations. (因此，当我们在国际上互动时，这些交流带来了创新)”可知是交流带来了新的创意，A项new idea 与innovations相符合，且与标题“DIALECTS HELP SPREAD CREATIVITY(方言有助于传播创造力)” 呼应。故选 A。 20．根据后文“Even though a small group is part of a larger whole, their unique form of expression sets them apart.( 尽管一个小群体是一个大整体的一部分，但他们独特的表达形式使他们与众不同。)”可知正是方言表达的独特之处，让他们在一个大群体中与众不同。C项specific to a region or group就是通过定义，解释方言的特有性，与后文相呼应。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My family unit of four was on the stricter side when it came to COVID- 19 precautions. We had decided not to attend most group 21 . We had 22 about the health risks posed by this new virus, especially as we waited for our kids to be vaccinated. My parents came up from Texas in December 2020 to quarantine (隔离期) before seeing us and 23 to visit us occasionally after that. We tried to visit them too but got 24 twice—first when the virus Delta made the trip too 25 , then when my grandma and my older son separately were 26 with Omicron. Finally, in February 2022, we got there. It had been more than two years once my kids had seen my grandparents, and my younger son did not 27 being on a plane. We met my parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins in Colorado. There, my kids 28 her baby cousin. I 29 my kids as they swam, watched fireworks, generally 30 with their older cousins. They were so 31 with everyone, despite how infrequently we had gotten together over the past few years.

I was eleven years old and had been living with my aunt and her large family since I’d lost my mother a year earlier. My dad, who was working out of state and could only see me occasionally, was on his way home. My cousins and I went into the kitchen where my aunt had been cooking for hours. As my cousins eyed the pies, I asked my aunt for the sixth time that morning, “Shouldn’t he be here by now?” “He’ll be here when he gets here. You need to be patient, dear!” she said. My aunt and uncle were kind to me and I loved them and my cousins, but there were times when I felt lonely in this large family. I compared myself to the fruit salad my aunt was making. The cousins were the apples, pears, grapes and peaches that were all homegrown and belonged together. I was the pineapple that my aunt had just added. While it blended in, anyone eating it knew it was a foreign ingredient. So I often prayed to myself, “Please present me with a mother and a warm home.” My steps were slow as I followed my cousins to the back door. “If you girls go to the top of the hill, you’ll see his car when it comes around,” my aunt’s voice became soft when she saw my slumped (耷拉着的) shoulders. We’d barely gotten to the top of the hill when we heard the sound of a motor and saw my father’s car coming around. As it pulled to a stop beside the front gate, I ran down the hill immediately. Suddenly, a redheaded woman stepped between us. “I’ve been so anxious to meet you that I couldn’t resist hugging you,” she said. Then I found myself enfolded in soft arms that reminded me of my mother. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 I stepped back and studied her. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “We have a special present for you,” my dad said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I stepped back and studied her. She stood no taller than my father’s shoulder and was pleasantly rounded. When the sunlight touched her hair, it sparkled as brightly as a new penny. And when she spoke, it was with a soft accent. Then, I got the news that this young woman’s name was Polly and she was my father’s girlfriend. While we chattered excitedly, my dad added their wrapped gifts to the piles which were already under the tree. “We have a special present for you,” my dad said. “It’s Polly! She has agreed to marry me and to be your new mother!” Polly waved her new ring in the air and said, “That isn’t all. We’ve rented a big house for us. You are going to come with us after Christmas to our new home.” I could feel the tears of happiness spilling down my cheeks. After Christmas, we said goodbye to my cousin’s family and moved to our new home. I had my own home and a new mother, which was the answer to a lonely little girl’s prayers. 【难度】0.65 【知识点】家人和亲人 、生活故事 【导语】文章以故事为线索展开，讲述了一个失去母亲的女孩在圣诞节前夕在阿姨家居住，阿姨一家虽然对她很好，但她仍祈祷想要一个妈妈，这时父亲带着新女友Polly来了，父亲的女友Polly成为了她的新母亲，他们一起搬到了新家的故事。文章通过讲述女孩的内心独白和家庭生活的描写，展现了她对家庭温暖和母爱的渴望，以及在圣诞节这个特殊的日子里，她的愿望得以实现的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我退后一步，端详着她。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到Polly的反应，以及对Polly外貌的描写。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘我们有一件特别的礼物要送给你，’爸爸说。”可知，第二段可描写作者父亲送给作者的礼物（Polly成为新妈妈）以及最后搬家实现了自己拥有新家的愿望。 2.续写线索：端详Polly——对Polly外貌的描写——送给作者礼物——二人交谈——搬到新家——实现愿望——最终感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①收到消息：get the news/hear the news ②聊天：chatter/have a chat ③一起来：come with/go with 情绪类 ①激动地：excitedly/with a flush of excitement ②流下幸福的泪水：tears of happiness spilling down/tears of well-being rolling down 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Through a combination of yeast(酵母), cow DNA and plant nutrients, Perfect Day claims to have created a product identical in taste and nutritional value to cow’s milk, but without any cows involved. It will satisfy consumers who love eating dairy(乳制品的)ice-cream, cheese and yoghurt, but loathe factory-style farming and its environmental footprint. Sales of milk alternatives such as soy, coconut and more recently pea milk are expected to be on the rise. But until now they have not cut traditional milk and dairy production. “The alternatives for yoghurt, cheese and ice-cream are so bad that people don’t even want to try them,” says Perfect Day co-founder Ryan Pandya. The missing ingredient (成分)in plant-based alternatives is cow’s milk proteins. To make the animal-free cow’s milk, Perfect Day puts cow DNA—which is readily available thanks to decades of research by the dairy industry—into yeast and adds sugar to create cow’s milk proteins through fermentation (发酵). These milk proteins are then combined with sugar, fats and nutrients to create the final product. “We’re taking plant nutrients and transforming them into animal proteins the same way that cows do, using the same milk proteins as found in cow’s milk, but much more efficiently, because we’re using a yeast cell not an animal,” said Pandya. Although comparisons have been made with lab-grown meat, Pandya said they are not using novel technology. Many people initially go ‘oh is this like lab or test-tube milk’, but that’s wrong. There are no test tubes in our fermentation process. The meat folks are trying to invent technology that doesn’t exist today, but our milk is made through techniques that have been in use for more than three decades. 4．What does the underlined word “loathe” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Ignore. B．Hate. C．Doubt. D．Tolerate. 5．Which of the following is a part of Perfect Day’s milk-making process? A．Mixing cow DNA with yeast and sugar. B．Adding sugar and fats to plant milk. C．Mixing plant milk with cow milk. D．Adding cow DNA to plant milk. 6．How is Perfect Day’s milk different from pea milk? A．It costs less energy. B．It is cheaper in price. C．It has cow’s milk proteins. D．It contains less sugar and fats. 7．What does Pandya think of their product? A．It tastes like test-tube milk. B．It needs to be tested further. C．It is well-received by green food lovers. D．It is produced with existing technology. C Cosplayers can invest considerable time, money and effort into making best head-to-toe presentations that are one-of-a-kind. But what inspires cosplayers to present themselves with so many detailed artistic designs? Psychologists try to reveal the facts through research. When a cosplayer selects a particular costume, he/she is often getting inside a specific character—or combination of characters—because something about that role speaks to them personally, according to Robin S. Rosenberg, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco. Batman, for example, can be an especially meaningful cosplay choice for someone coping with trauma. The dark superhero faced destructive trauma when he was a child—witnessing the cruel and violent murder of his parents—which he overcame to become a hero. “When people are dressed as Batman, many talk about having experienced their own traumatic experiences,” Rosenberg said. “He survived and found meaning and purpose from his experience, and that is inspiring to them.” Rosenberg noted that Wonder Woman is another popular choice which calls up many women’s feelings, partly because she holds her own in the male-dominated world of costumed comics superheroes. “For those cosplayers, dressing as Wonder Woman is a way of celebrating and embracing her power,” Rosenberg said. Cosplay is a type of performance, which frequently moves strangers to approach the character for conversation and photos. So it surprised Rosenberg to discover that many cosplayers were identified as introverts. “When they wore a costume, they became much more socially outgoing,” Rosenberg said. She explained that, sometimes, wearing a costume allows a person to obtain confidence they didn't know they had, and helps them overcome shyness in real life. “When you do any kind of costuming—but particularly cosplay—on the one hand, it gives you permission to step outside yourself,” Rosenberg said. “But on the other hand, it can bring out something in you that doesn’t usually come out.” 8．What does Rosenberg try to convey in Paragraph 2? A．Cosplayers have a special liking for costumes. B．Cosplayers play different roles within one day. C．Cosplayers have nothing to do but talk to themselves. D．Cosplayers express themselves through costumes. 9．Batman and Wonder Woman are cited to reveal cosplayers’ ________. A．childhood abuse B．need to repair personal difficulties C．gender inequality D．eagerness to defeat other people 10．Why did Rosenberg feel surprised? A．Cosplayers changed their personality once in costumes. B．Cosplayers couldn’t wait to socialize when costumed. C．Many cosplayers attracted strangers to talk with them. D．So many cosplayers were considered as pessimistic people. 11．What may serve as the most suitable title of the text? A．Devotion to cosplay B．People in costumes C．Batman or Wonder Woman D．Psychology behind cosplay D One steamy July afternoon in central Arkansas, I was working on an important project in my home office with a dear friend and colleague. My trusty printer was churning out (快速生产) a time-sensitive report when it simply stopped. After fifteen minutes of trying to repair, I decided to buy a new printer. Upon our return, my heart froze to see my house on fire. Despite having spent much of my life writing, I was still lost for adequate words to describe the sick, sinking feeling of seeing your home, business, and belongings going up in flames along with photographs and memories collected over a lifetime. But the panic that filled my shocked heart in that awful moment was for the nine cats that shared my home after being rescued from situations of abuse and abandonment. Responding to an early security-system warning, the amazing firefighters arrived in record time, but the chemical-laden smoke had already caused deaths. I examined and kissed each cat goodbye, extremely grateful that they had passed gently, without injuries or burns. Only animal lovers really understand the unbelievable impact that the loss of one beloved four-legged family member can have on your heart, mind and soul. The loss of so many dearly loved creatures sent me reeling (发蒙). After staying with another great friend for a couple of weeks, I was relocated to a furnished apartment. One evening, about a month after moving in, I was occupied in writing a mystery novel when a falsetto “meow” sounded from outside the apartment door. Was it my mind playing tricks again? More than once I had heard, seen or felt the brush of one of my departed furry roommates. The meow grew louder and more insistent. Curious, I opened the door. Sitting on the doorstep was a kitten (小猫) with an exotic black coat and alert amber eyes.  A neighbor walking by picked him up and began petting him. When I remarked how cute her kitten was, she explained that he had been born under a bridge and looked around for food.  This kitty－loving neighbor was quick to offer an extra litter box if I was interested in giving him a home. My immediate reaction was a facetious (开玩笑的) “that’s all I need!” After all, my resolution(决心)had been well reasoned and remained firm. But without hesitation she put the adorable kitten down. I thanked her and closed the door, resolved to just let him stay until a real home could be found. That night, as I slid between the sheets of the still unfamiliar bed in the still unfamiliar apartment, the energetic little fur ball jumped onto the bed, yawned dramatically, and nestled by my side.  Those who have never shared a sleep with a creature or two may not relate, but that was the first night since the fire that I actually slept. Stubbornly determined not to open myself to more animals—to more pain—I had refused to admit how desperately I missed having a warm fuzzy cuddled (依偎) close. Needless to say, the cat community knew the precise prescription for healing far better than I. The name Starlight (Star for short) seemed perfect because that night he brought some light back into my life. Star adores wrestling rubber bands, races up and down the stairs, darts outside anytime the door opens, suddenly appears everywhere I don’t want him to be, holds onto the broom while I’m trying to sweep, and rolls in catnip or whatever else happens to be on the floor. In hindsight (事后看来), a better name might have been “Star, Stop It!” In the five years since the fire, we have been through a lot, Starlight and I. We returned to the house, managed to keep the business alive, brought the mystery novel to the final edits before it’s submitted in hopes of publication, and made a lot more resolutions. Star helped me through a massive, yet untraditional, healing of spirit. The memories of the kitties that passed in the fire now spark only warmth in my heart and win some smiles. Every single day, I appreciate the serendipitous (有意外收获的) nature of the Universe that sent me hope in the form of a little black furball. So take a little advice from my furry friend: no matter how hopeless things may become or how fixed your resolution may be, open the door whenever opportunity knocks. It just might be a star to light your way. 12．What probably caused the author to open the door? A．The idea of seeing his beloved four－legged family member again. B．The impact of the loss of loved creatures on his mind and soul. C．The brush of his departed furry roommates playing tricks on him.

In addition, different locales have their own languages and dialects. 16 As people travel more frequently, they exchange goods and ideas. Thus, the blending of cultures has become easier and more commonplace. In the age of globalization, one may argue that language acts as a barrier to communication. Individual dialects may divide people even further. 17 Dialects are important for international business. Read on to learn how. DIALECTS RETAIN IDENTITY Many cultures use different words or pronunciations for the same thing. 18 Many times, exact translations are impossible. For example, one language may have a specific word for something, while another does not. If each language were standardized with the same set of words and pronunciations, cultures would lose their identities. DIALECTS HELP SPREAD CREATIVITY New words spread freely throughout different cultures thanks to world travel and the internet. In our modern society, each person can travel to experience new things. By learning new languages and dialects, a person expands his or her mind. Opening one’s mind promotes creativity. 19 Therefore, as we interact internationally, these exchanges lead to innovations. DIALECTS INCREASE INDEPENDENCE 20 Even though a small group is part of a larger whole, their unique form of expression sets them apart. Their uniqueness provides them a sense of independence. Oftentimes, people from a specific area take pride in their dialect. Differences enhance cultural diversity and increase independence. Without diversity, our world would not progress in business or technology. Our world needs dialects and individual expression to keep cultures alive for future generations. Preserving dialects is good for creativity, innovation, and business. A．The free exchange of ideas leads to new ideas. B．Unique pronunciations help give a culture its identity. C．A dialect, by definition, is specific to a region or group. D．When exchanging ideas, they feel comfortable speaking dialects. E．Therefore, a standardized language is crucial in the communication. F．However, dialects express the unique qualities of a particular region. G．Language and dialects preserve the unique cultural elements of a given place. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My family unit of four was on the stricter side when it came to COVID- 19 precautions.

I was eleven years old and had been living with my aunt and her large family since I’d lost my mother a year earlier. My dad, who was working out of state and could only see me occasionally, was on his way home. My cousins and I went into the kitchen where my aunt had been cooking for hours. As my cousins eyed the pies, I asked my aunt for the sixth time that morning, “Shouldn’t he be here by now?” “He’ll be here when he gets here. You need to be patient, dear!” she said. My aunt and uncle were kind to me and I loved them and my cousins, but there were times when I felt lonely in this large family. I compared myself to the fruit salad my aunt was making. The cousins were the apples, pears, grapes and peaches that were all homegrown and belonged together. I was the pineapple that my aunt had just added. While it blended in, anyone eating it knew it was a foreign ingredient. So I often prayed to myself, “Please present me with a mother and a warm home.” My steps were slow as I followed my cousins to the back door. “If you girls go to the top of the hill, you’ll see his car when it comes around,” my aunt’s voice became soft when she saw my slumped (耷拉着的) shoulders. We’d barely gotten to the top of the hill when we heard the sound of a motor and saw my father’s car coming around. As it pulled to a stop beside the front gate, I ran down the hill immediately. Suddenly, a redheaded woman stepped between us. “I’ve been so anxious to meet you that I couldn’t resist hugging you,” she said. Then I found myself enfolded in soft arms that reminded me of my mother. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 I stepped back and studied her. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “We have a special present for you,” my dad said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第12页，共13页 试卷第13页，共13页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
