Some people may hate the long wait, looking at the board and waiting for their flight, but I’m a fan. What’s your favorite means of transport? W: Well, I used to like the bus. It’s flexible and cheap, but it is not always a reliable form of transport. Now I’m a great fan of rail travel. I’ve got a rail card and it gets me everywhere I want to go. M: But it’s slow. W: Yes, but you’d hardly want to fly for a very short distance. My husband is a believer in exercise. He cycles everywhere. I know. Sometimes he’s very tired, but he’s pretty fit. M: I was just going to say how cold he’d get and wet and windy as well. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What does the man think is the most valuable part of the tour? A.

Welcome to this tour of Davidson College. As a senior here, I could tell you all about my experiences in classrooms and labs, but I think it would be most valuable to talk about the campus as we walk around outside to get an overall feel of this amazing place. Over to my left is the library, and besides being the main place for students to do research for papers, it’s also where a lot of students hang out between classes. There are computers and comfortable chairs everywhere, and on each floor there are areas that do not require you to be quiet. Perhaps this is why our students like it so much. Down the road to my right is the student center, which is where students can buy coffee, snacks, and official Davidson College clothing. The student center is open until 10 o’clock p.m. on school nights and until 2 o’clock a.m. on weekend nights. Carson Gym, which is named after one of Davidson’s most famous professors, is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can play almost every sport you can imagine there, and there are health classes like yoga and group dance every day except Wednesday. The best part about the gym is the cost. Students pay a yearly fee of $50 and they get to use the facilities as much as they want. All right, we’re coming up to the stadium now. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 A NPR’s Student Podcast (播客) Challenge is back — for a fifth year!

As in past years, our judges will choose winners in two categories: grades five through eight and grades nine through twelve. Entries must be submitted by an educator or a student leader who’s 18 years old or older. Another important rule is that the maximum length of your podcast is within eight minutes, and longer entries will be disqualified.

Is it structured in a way that keeps listeners engaged? Can we easily follow the story you’re telling or the information you’re explaining? Have you spent time cutting out unnecessary information to make sure the main ideas come through clearly? Personality and creativity, 40 percent Does it have personality, or does it sound like you’re reading from a script (脚本)? Does it make us laugh or cry or leave us deep in thought? Production, 20 percent We’re not judging you on how fancy your equipment is and we don’t expect you to be an expert on recording and editing sound, but we hope you’ll try. Some podcasts may use a narration (讲述) format. Others may be more of an interview format. If you use sound apart from interviews and narration, make sure it is clear and smooth. 21. What is the deadline for handing in your podcast? A. January 6. B. February 18. C. March 26. D. April 28. 22. Who are qualified to submit the podcast to the competition? A. All monitors. B.

They have to adopt an interview format. D. They must be produced with special sound effects. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了NPR学生播客大赛的参赛要求。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This year’s competition will open for entries on January 6, 2023 and close on April 28.(今年的比赛将于2023年1月6日开始报名，4月28日结束)”可知，截止日期是4月28日。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Entries must be submitted by an educator or a student leader who’s 18 years old or older.(参赛作品必须由18岁或以上的教育工作者或学生干部提交)”可知，C项“教师”符合要求。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Information and structure, 40 percent一节中“Is it structured in a way that keeps listeners engaged? Can we easily follow the story you’re telling or the information you’re explaining? Have you spent time cutting out unnecessary information to make sure the main ideas come through clearly?(它的结构是否能让听众保持参与？我们能轻松地理解你所讲的故事或你所解释的信息吗？你是否花时间删去了不必要的信息，以确保主要思想能够清晰地表达出来？)”及Production, 20 percent一节中“We’re not judging you on how fancy your equipment is and we don’t expect you to be an expert on recording and editing sound, but we hope you’ll try.(我们并不是根据你的设备有多花哨来评判你，我们也不期望你成为录音和编辑声音的专家，但我们希望你能尝试一下)”可知，参赛作品需要结构紧凑，适当编辑。故选B。 B Two weeks ago, I had volunteered to raise three newborn American barn owls. When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation (康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising “the babies” I was overjoyed! Twelve years earlier, the center had received a pair of barn owls, and since then more than 100 of them have been bred and released. Thoughts poured through my head of hours happily spent raising these babies and working with them until they were fully grown. Tossing them up into the sky where they would begin their lives anew in the wild would be so incredibly rewarding. However, I had assumed incorrectly that we were going to release all of them. In fact, two of the owls were to be released, but the third owl was to be used as an educational animal. For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me. Sensing my anger, our director suggested that before I denounced the plan for this owl, I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment, to see what is accomplished. While still ready to regard this plan as a horrible use of an owl, I reluctantly agreed to go. Then, things took a 180-degree turn. I found that I had been naive in my assumption that most people knew as much about wildlife as I did, and that they shared my respect for animals. The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot. They were full of questions and eager to know more. At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6-and 7-year-olds who, with the “help” of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light. That afternoon, I returned from the educational assignment with a new-found sense of purpose and happily commenced that task at hand — feeding little pieces of mice to Athena, our newest educational ambassador. 24. How did the author react to the director’s request? A. He agreed readily. B. He turned it down. C. He reluctantly said yes. D. He questioned his intention. 25. What does the underlined word denounced in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Finished. B. Evaluated. C. Changed. D. Condemned. 26. What did the author find about the school children? A. They explored the outdoors often. B. They were keen on raising an animal. C. They were almost ignorant of the surrounding wildlife. D. They had volunteered to join the animal education program. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. A kept owl is safeguarding the owl’s future. B. Saving the world begins with saving an owl. C. The earth’s future is in the hands of children. D. Releasing animals to the wild is not the end. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者抚养幼年仓鸮并参与教育项目的经历，通过这一经历作者认识到抚养野生动物并以此对孩子们进行教育是十分必要的。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation (康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising “the babies” I was overjoyed!(当当地一家野生动物康复中心的负责人第一次联系我，问我是否有兴趣抚养‘婴儿（指幼鸟）’时，我欣喜若狂！)”可知，听到负责人的请求后，作者欣喜若狂，由此推知，作者欣然应允了。故选A。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me.(其中一只仓鸮被中心扣留，另外两只它的兄弟姐妹却要被放生，这似乎很残忍，让我感到很气愤)”可知，作者觉得康复中心计划放飞两只仓鸮而滞留一只的做法是残忍的。由此可推知，作者对这样的计划是不赞同的；“Sensing my anger, our director suggested that before I denounced the plan for this owl, I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment, to see what is accomplished.(我们的主任察觉到我的愤怒，建议我在denounced这只猫头鹰的计划之前，至少应该出去帮忙完成教育任务，看看完成了什么。)”可知，主任建议作者在指责这个计划之前应该去帮忙完成教育任务，看看完成了什么；denounced意思是“谴责；指责”，与blamed同义。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot.(我演讲的学校里的孩子们从未见过我给他们看的仓鸮或负鼠，尽管他们都是我们地区的普通居民。他们中的许多人甚至从未听说过豹猫)”可知，这些孩子对周遭的野生动物所知甚少。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。作者在文中分享了自己的经历：志愿为当地一家动物康复中心喂养三只幼年仓鸮，却发现该康复中心意图在小仓鸮成年后放飞其中的两只，而保留一只用于教育项目。作者觉得这一做法过于残忍，愤懑至极。但当他参与了一次教育项目之后，发现这么做很有意义，随之态度发生改变。结合第二段第二句“For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me.(其中一只仓鸮被中心扣留，另外两只它的兄弟姐妹却要被放生，这似乎很残忍，让我感到很气愤)”和第三段最后一句“At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6- and 7-year-olds who, with the “help” of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light.(在那一刻，我突然意识到，在我面前的教室里挤满了6、7岁的孩子，他们在仓鸮的‘帮助’下，正在学习以全新的视角看待自然)”可知，作者认识到留下一只仓鸮是十分有必要的，这样有利于孩子们了解自然，才能更好的保护野生动物。故A选项“饲养仓鸮就是保护仓鸮的未来”适合作为本文标题。故选A。 C We sometimes think that everything was much better and easier in the past. It’s one of the tricks our minds play on us, especially when we arc in low spirits. Actually, it’s unlikely that things were objectively better in the past. This form of thinking is called rosy retrospection,which is a well-studied cognitive bias. It happens because when we think about the past, we are more likely to focus on positive generalities than annoying details. If you think back to a holiday with your family five years ago, you’re likely to recall the beautiful views rather than the uncomfortable bed. In other words,the negative details disappear from our memory over time while the positive ones remain. Rosy retrospection can influence how we make decisions, and it’s one of the reasons why we easily return into problematic relationships. The longer it is since we experienced the negative influence of a relationship, the more likely we are to let the good memories outweigh the bad memories and to perhaps forgive unforgivable behavior. It’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic (怀旧的) feelings with a healthy degree of doubt. But rosy retrospection does serve an important purpose. It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our psychological wellbeing. In fact, people who tend to remember negative experiences more than positive ones are likely to exhibit psychological disorders. Research generally suggests that our happiest days are still to come. And even if they’re not, it’s still important to believe that they are. Don’t shy away from looking upon the past with a certain degree of nostalgia. But, for the same reason, don’t use the past as an excuse to be unhappy in the present. 28. What does the underlined phrase “rosy retrospection” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Having a preference for good memories. B. Remembering exactly about the details. C. Concentrating on impossible things. D. Thinking objectively about the past: 29. Which of the following is encouraged by the author according to Paragraph 4? A. Reviewing the nostalgic feelings critically. B. Ignoring the nostalgic feelings absolutely. C. Forgiving the unacceptable behavior generously. D. Getting back to the problematic relationships bravely. 30. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The good excuse for present unhappiness. B. The accuracy of remembering past details. C. The importance of maintaining a positive mindset. D. The negative impact of recalling past experiences. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward rosy retrospection according to the passage? A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Favorable. D. Objective. 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们对过去的美好回忆（玫瑰色回忆）现象，指出其影响决策和心理健康，但提醒要以健康态度回顾过去，不应影响现在的幸福。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章划线短语下文“It happens because when we think about the past, we are more likely to focus on positive generalities than annoying details.(之所以会发生这种情况，是因为当我们回想过去时，我们更倾向于关注积极的概况，而不是恼人的细节。)”可知，划线短语指的是“当我们回忆过去时，我们更可能关注积极的总体情况，而不是令人烦恼的细节。”选项A“Having a preference for good memories.(偏好美好记忆)”意义一致。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“It’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic（怀旧的）feelings with a healthy degree of doubt.(带着健康程度的怀疑来回顾我们的怀旧情绪总是一个好主意。)”可知，作者建议我们应该以一种健康的怀疑态度来审视我们的怀旧情感。故选A。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our psychological wellbeing. In fact, people who tend to remember negative experiences more than positive ones are likely to exhibit psychological disorders. Research generally suggests that our happiest days are still to come. And even if they’re not, it’s still important to believe that they are. Don’t shy away from looking upon the past with a certain degree of nostalgia. But, for the same reason, don’t use the past as an excuse to be unhappy in the present.(它让我们保持积极的心态，对我们的心理健康很重要。事实上，那些更倾向于记住消极经历而不是积极经历的人很可能表现出心理障碍。研究普遍表明，我们最幸福的日子还未到来。即使它们不是，重要的是要相信它们是。不要羞于带着某种程度的怀旧去回顾过去。但是，出于同样的原因，不要把过去作为现在不开心的借口。)”可知，最后一段讨论了“玫瑰色回忆”在保持当前积极心态和心理健康方面的重要性。它指出“它让我们保持当前的积极心态，对我们的心理健康很重要。”这表明该段落的主要思想是保持积极心态的重要性。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Rosy retrospection can influence how we make decisions, and it’s one of the reasons why we easily return into problematic relationships. The longer it is since we experienced the negative influence of a relationship, the more likely we are to let the good memories outweigh the bad memories and to perhaps forgive unforgivable behavior. It’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic（怀旧的）feelings with a healthy degree of doubt.(美好的回忆会影响我们做决定的方式，这也是为什么我们很容易回到问题关系中的原因之一。我们经历一段关系的负面影响的时间越长，我们就越有可能让美好的记忆超过糟糕的记忆，也许会原谅不可原谅的行为。带着健康程度的怀疑来回顾我们的怀旧情绪(总是一个好主意。)”以及最后一段“It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our psychological wellbeing.(它让我们保持积极的心态，对我们的心理健康很重要。)”可知，作者认可美好回忆有助于维持当前的积极心态和对心理健康有益，但是作者也提醒读者要注意其潜在的风险。由此可知，作者对美好回忆抱有客观的态度。故选D。 D Technology caused the problem of false news, and it’s easy to think that technology can solve it and that we only need to find the right technology to solve the problem. But this approach ignores valuable lessons concerned with how we acquire knowledge. To understand how false news comes, start with an example. Imagine you’re out for drinks when one of your friends shocks the table with an unproven story about a local famous people. The story is so shocking you’re not sure it could be right. But then, here’s your good friend, putting their reputation on the line. Maybe you should believe it. This is an instance of what philosophers call testimony (证词). It’s similar to the sort of testimony given in a courtroom, but it is less formal and much more frequent. Testimony happens any time you believe something because someone else proves the accuracy of the information. Most of our knowledge about the world is secondhand knowledge that comes to us through testimony. After all, we can’t each do all of our own scientific research, or make our own maps of distant cities. Social media has strange testimonial rules, and it is hard to solve the problem of false news. On Facebook, Twitter and similar platforms, people don’t always mean what they say, and we don’t always expect them to. A the informal Twitter: advertisement goes: “A retweet (转发推文) is not an approval.” When a well-known politician was caught retweeting false statistics about race and crime, he told Fox News it wasn’t a big deal: “Am I gonna check every statistic? All it was is a retweet. It wasn’t from me.” Intellectually (理智上), we know that people do this all of the time on social media, and pass along news without checking its accuracy, but many of us listen to them anyway. The information they share is just too attractive to ignore — especially when it is about our existing political beliefs. 32. Why do we tend to believe surprising news over drinks? A. We’ve confirmed it. B. We may be drunken. C. We find it amazing. D. We trust in our friends. 33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 3? A. The statement in court. B. The talk in a restaurant. C. The evidence of a crime. D. The testimony of a philosopher. 34. Why is it easy for us to believe the content producers on social media? A. We are tolerant of their actions. B. Social media have issued odd regulations. C. We will identify with them readily. D. Social media don’t check the information. 35. What may be the best title for the text? A. How to Fix False News B. How Incorrect Information Arrives C. What Information to Acquire D. When Testimony Disturbs Audience 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们总认为技术可以解决假新闻这个问题，其实不然，文章分析了假新闻是如何产生的。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Imagine you’re out for drinks when one of your friends shocks the table with an unproven story about a local famous people. The story is so shocking you’re not sure it could be right. But then, here’s your good friend, putting their reputation on the line. Maybe you should believe it. (想象一下，当你出去喝酒时，你的一个朋友说了一个关于当地名人的未经证实的故事，震惊了整个桌子。这个故事太令人震惊了，你不确定它是否正确。但现在，你的好朋友冒着名誉风险。也许你应该相信。)”可知，你是因为相信自己的朋友才相信这则消息。故选D。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词前一句“This is an instance of what philosophers call testimony (证词).(这就是哲学家们所说的“证词”。)”以及“It’s similar to the sort of testimony given in a courtroom, (它类似于法庭上的证词，)”可知，这个“it”指的正是哲学家所说的“证词”，而这个证词指的是第二段的“Imagine you’re out for drinks when one of your friends shocks the table with an unproven story about a local famous people. The story is so shocking you’re not sure it could be right. But then, here’s your good friend, putting their reputation on the line. Maybe you should believe it. (想象一下，当你出去喝酒时，你的一个朋友说了一个关于当地名人的未经证实的故事，震惊了整个桌子。这个故事太令人震惊了，你不确定它是否正确。但现在，你的好朋友冒着名誉风险。也许你应该相信。)”可知，这个it所指的正是在餐厅里的谈话。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Testimony happens any time you believe something because someone else proves the accuracy of the information.(任何时候，当你相信某件事，因为别人证明了该信息的准确性时，证词就会发生。)”和最后一段“Intellectually (理智上), we know that people do this all of the time on social media, and pass along news without checking its accuracy, but many of us listen to them anyway. The information they share is just too attractive to ignore-especially when it is about our existing political beliefs.(理智上，我们知道人们在社交媒体上一直都是这样做的，并且在不检查准确性的情况下传递新闻，但我们中的许多人还是会听它们。他们分享的信息太有吸引力了，不容忽视——尤其是当它涉及到我们现有的政治信仰时。)”可推断，我们会很容易地与社交媒体上的内容生产者产生共鸣。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But this approach ignores valuable lessons concerned with how we acquire knowledge.(但是，这种方法忽略了与我们如何获得知识有关的宝贵经验。)”、第二段“To understand how false news comes, start with an example. (要了解假新闻是如何产生的，请从一个例子开始。)”以及最后一段“Social media has strange testimonial rules, and it is hard to solve the problem of false news.(社交媒体有着奇怪的证言规则，虚假新闻的问题很难解决。)”可知，本文解释了假新闻是如何产生的。所以“How Incorrect Information Arrives(不正确的信息是如何产生的)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There’s a huge difference between outer beauty and inner beauty, and both of them have their place. In our youth-driven culture, external attractiveness is often put at the forefront of desirability in others. ____36____ . Let’s take a look at some truths about inner beauty vs outer beauty. ● ____37____ Physical beauty varies greatly among individuals, with different people finding different features attractive. In contrast, inner beauty is often widely appreciated. Take Princess Diana, for example. While opinions on her physical attractiveness differed, everyone was impressed by her willingness to help others. ● Largely uncontrollable outer beauty, cultivable inner beauty Outer beauty can be achieved with money through plastic surgery, makeup, hair dye, exercise, and wardrobe adjustments. ____38____ . You can read and educate yourself in all manner of different subjects for free via libraries, online videos, or academic resources. Getting involved in charitable works or nonprofit organizations is another great way to get that inner beauty growing. A giving heart and sincere care for others are two unparalleled qualities. ____39____ . ●Traits (特征) that people love most When asked what traits they most look for in a couple or a life partner, the vast majority of people name things that have absolutely nothing to do with outer beauty. Some of the top responses that make the average list are the following: kindness, loyalty, a good sense of humor, trustworthiness, a supportive nature, generosity, integrity, understanding and compassion. ____40____ . They coexist in a complex, beautiful dance that varies from person to person. True beauty surpasses appearance, rooted in the human spirit. It is subjective and cherished for who we are, not how we look. A. Great outer beauty, striking inner beauty B. However, inner beauty can be earned effortlessly C. Subjective outer beauty, universally visible inner beauty D. In contrast, you don’t need a cent to cultivate inner beauty E. Yet, we often adore the people most for their personality traits F. Inner beauty and outer beauty are not enemies but companions G. Even better, they can be developed by anyone in any circumstances 【答案】36. E 37. C 38. D 39. G 40. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了内在美和外在美的区别以及二者的关系。 【36题详解】 根据上文“There’s a huge difference between outer beauty and inner beauty, and both of them have their place. In our youth-driven culture, external attractiveness is often put at the forefront of desirability in others.(外在美和内在美有很大的不同，它们都有自己的位置。在我们以年轻人为主导的文化中，外在的吸引力往往被放在别人的可取性的首位)”可知，上文提到“外在的吸引力往往被放在别人的可取性的首位”，推测本句说明内在对人的吸引力。故E选项“然而，我们往往最崇拜的人是他们的个性特征”符合语境，故选E。 【37题详解】 根据本段内容“Physical beauty varies greatly among individuals, with different people finding different features attractive. In contrast, inner beauty is often widely appreciated. Take Princess Diana, for example. While opinions on her physical attractiveness differed, everyone was impressed by her willingness to help others.(人与人之间的外貌差异很大，不同的人认为不同的特征有吸引力。相比之下，内在美往往被广泛欣赏。以戴安娜王妃为例。虽然大家对她的外表评价不一，但她乐于助人的态度给大家留下了深刻的印象)”可知，本段主要说明了外在美是个人的主观感受，但内在美是人们普遍认可的。故C选项“主观的外在美，普遍可见的内在美”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Outer beauty can be achieved with money through plastic surgery, makeup, hair dye, exercise, and wardrobe adjustments.(外在美可以通过整形手术、化妆、染发、锻炼和调整服装来实现)”可知，上文解释了外在美可以如何提高，推测本句要说明如何培养内在美。故D选项“相反，你不需要一分钱来培养内在美”符合语境，故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“You can read and educate yourself in all manner of different subjects for free via libraries, online videos, or academic resources. Getting involved in charitable works or nonprofit organizations is another great way to get that inner beauty growing. A giving heart and sincere care for others are two unparalleled qualities.(你可以通过图书馆、在线视频或学术资源免费阅读和学习各种不同的科目。参与慈善工作或非营利组织是另一种培养内在美的好方法。一颗奉献的心和对他人的真诚关怀是两种无与伦比的品质)”可知，上文提到了如何培养内在美。空处位于段末，应承接上文。故G选项“更妙的是，任何人在任何情况下都可以发展它们”符合语境，故选G。 【40题详解】 根据后文“They coexist in a complex, beautiful dance that varies from person to person. True beauty surpasses appearance, rooted in the human spirit. It is subjective and cherished for who we are, not how we look.(它们共存于一种复杂而美丽的舞蹈中，这种舞蹈因人而异。真正的美超越外表，根植于人的精神。它是主观的，看重的是我们是谁，而不是我们的外表)”可知，本段主要说明了内在美和外在美的关系，后文指出共存于一种复杂而美丽的舞蹈中，推测两者是相伴相生的关系。故F选项“内在美和外在美不是敌人，而是伙伴”符合语境，故选F。 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，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Cooking has always been a small enjoyment of mine, About a decade ago, I found great ____41____ in creating delicious meals from beginning, However, a series of ____42____, including a few unfortunate cuts, left me ____43____ to cook.

I know I am never going to win a race but now, when I get anything negative, I will think of the kind gentleman who really believed, “You very good… you very fast.” At the time, I was living in the Bay Area, and my mother had come to visit for a few days. On the last day of her stay, I was preparing to go out for a run. I picked up a T-shirt I just bought the other day from a Chinese clothing shop — it had some Chinese characters on the front, and a scene of Honolulu Chinatown on the back. I didn’t speak Chinese, but somehow this special T-shirt was quite soft and good for exercise.Working in a very negative environment, I found morning runs very beneficial — body tired but mind awake. And I had always met an elderly Chinese gentleman walking on the opposite side of the trail (道路) when I was running on other mornings. I had always said, “Good morning,” and he had always smiled warmly and nodded his head slightly. As I was going out the door, my mother suddenly said, “I don’t think running is so hot — that famous runner died.” I started to recount what I had read about Jim Fixx, and how running had probably been the contributing factor to his living far longer than most of the other members of his family, but I knew there was absolutely no point. As I started running on my favorite trail, I found I couldn’t shake my mother’s statement. I was so discouraged that I could hardly run. I began thinking, “Why do I run at all? Serious runners probably think I look silly! I might have a heart attack on the trail — my dad had a fatal (致命的) heart attack at 50 years old, and he was seemingly in better shape than I am.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mother’s statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon hearing the man’s words, I felt more unexplained strength in my step. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My mother’s statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket. Gradually, my jog slowed to a walk. My body drained of energy and my mind felt extremely defeated. Just as I was going to turn around and head for home — feeling more discouraged than I could recall in years — I saw that elderly Chinese gentleman again. Seeing my shirt in the distance had prompted him to march towards me. With limited English he pointed to the letters and enthusiastically said, “You very good… you very fast.” Upon hearing the man’s words, I felt more unexplained strength in my step. He cast his usual warm smile at me and gave me a thumb up as we passed each other. A surge of warmth across my whole body, I didn’t turn from the trail where my previous dark mood had intended. Thanks to that little boost, I continued for six more miles that day instead. I was not that fast, but was very good in my spirit and my heart. Luckily, the elderly gentleman saved me from the shadow of negative feedback. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者今年打算参加纽约马拉松比赛，虽然作者知道自己不会赢得比赛，但是总会想起真正相信自己的善良绅士的鼓励的话。那时作者住在旧金山湾区，在消极的工作环境中工作，觉得晨跑非常有益，因此总是去跑步。在跑步的时候，作者总能遇到一位中国老先生，两人会礼貌地打个招呼。作者的母亲来看望作者几天，这天作者穿了一件在中国服装店买的T恤正要出门跑步，上面有一些中国的汉字，母亲却对跑步做出了消极评价，虽然作者说明证明跑步有好处，但觉得没有意义。作者在跑步的时候无法摆脱母亲的评价，觉得非常沮丧，开始质疑自己跑步的意义，担心自己在跑步途中心脏病发作。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“母亲的话像一块巨大的毯子一样留在我的脑海里”可知，第一段可描写作者被母亲的话影响了，跑不下去了，以及作者遇到那位老先生，他为作者解释了T恤上充满鼓励的汉字的意思。 ②由第二段首句内容“听了那人的话，我的脚步更有了莫名的力量”可知，第二段可描写作者内心受到鼓舞，变得积极起来，以及作者转而继续跑步，心情变得好起来。 2. 续写线索：作者不断想起母亲的话——作者受挫——老先生解释汉字意思——作者的脚步有了力量——作者受到鼓舞——作者继续跑步 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①记起：recall/remember/recollect ②看见：see/spot ③促使：prompt/motivate/stimulate ④拯救：save/rescue 情绪类 ①受挫的：defeated/discouraged ②热情地：enthusiastically/passionately 【点睛】[高分句型1] Seeing my shirt in the distance had prompted him to march towards me.

This year’s competition will open for entries on January 6, 2023 and close on April 28. As in past years, our judges will choose winners in two categories: grades five through eight and grades nine through twelve. Entries must be submitted by an educator or a student leader who’s 18 years old or older. Another important rule is that the maximum length of your podcast is within eight minutes, and longer entries will be disqualified. Our judges will use the following criteria to narrow down and choose the winners: Information and structure, 40 percent Does the podcast tell a good story or teach us something new and important? Is it structured in a way that keeps listeners engaged? Can we easily follow the story you’re telling or the information you’re explaining? Have you spent time cutting out unnecessary information to make sure the main ideas come through clearly? Personality and creativity, 40 percent Does it have personality, or does it sound like you’re reading from a script (脚本)? Does it make us laugh or cry or leave us deep in thought? Production, 20 percent We’re not judging you on how fancy your equipment is and we don’t expect you to be an expert on recording and editing sound, but we hope you’ll try. Some podcasts may use a narration (讲述) format. Others may be more of an interview format. If you use sound apart from interviews and narration, make sure it is clear and smooth. 21. What is the deadline for handing in your podcast? A. January 6. B. February 18. C. March 26. D. April 28. 22. Who are qualified to submit the podcast to the competition? A. All monitors. B. Any student. C. Teachers. D. Parents. 23. What is a requirement for the entries? A. They should be more than eight minutes. B. They must be well structured and edited. C. They have to adopt an interview format. D. They must be produced with special sound effects. B Two weeks ago, I had volunteered to raise three newborn American barn owls. When the director of a local wildlife rehabilitation (康复) center first approached me and asked if I would be interested in raising “the babies” I was overjoyed! Twelve years earlier, the center had received a pair of barn owls, and since then more than 100 of them have been bred and released. Thoughts poured through my head of hours happily spent raising these babies and working with them until they were fully grown. Tossing them up into the sky where they would begin their lives anew in the wild would be so incredibly rewarding. However, I had assumed incorrectly that we were going to release all of them. In fact, two of the owls were to be released, but the third owl was to be used as an educational animal. For the center to keep one owl when his two siblings were going to be freed seemed cruel, and this angered me. Sensing my anger, our director suggested that before I denounced the plan for this owl, I should at least go out and help with the educational assignment, to see what is accomplished. While still ready to regard this plan as a horrible use of an owl, I reluctantly agreed to go. Then, things took a 180-degree turn. I found that I had been naive in my assumption that most people knew as much about wildlife as I did, and that they shared my respect for animals. The children at the school where I spoke had never seen the owls or the opossum that I showed them, though both were common inhabitants of our area. Many of them had never even heard of an ocelot. They were full of questions and eager to know more. At that moment, it occurred to me that in front of me were rooms full of 6-and 7-year-olds who, with the “help” of the owls, were learning to view nature in a whole new light. That afternoon, I returned from the educational assignment with a new-found sense of purpose and happily commenced that task at hand — feeding little pieces of mice to Athena, our newest educational ambassador. 24. How did the author react to the director’s request? A. He agreed readily. B. He turned it down. C. He reluctantly said yes. D. He questioned his intention. 25. What does the underlined word denounced in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Finished. B. Evaluated. C. Changed. D. Condemned. 26. What did the author find about the school children? A. They explored the outdoors often. B. They were keen on raising an animal. C. They were almost ignorant of the surrounding wildlife. D. They had volunteered to join the animal education program. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. A kept owl is safeguarding the owl’s future. B. Saving the world begins with saving an owl. C. The earth’s future is in the hands of children. D. Releasing animals to the wild is not the end. C We sometimes think that everything was much better and easier in the past. It’s one of the tricks our minds play on us, especially when we arc in low spirits. Actually, it’s unlikely that things were objectively better in the past. This form of thinking is called rosy retrospection,which is a well-studied cognitive bias. It happens because when we think about the past, we are more likely to focus on positive generalities than annoying details. If you think back to a holiday with your family five years ago, you’re likely to recall the beautiful views rather than the uncomfortable bed. In other words,the negative details disappear from our memory over time while the positive ones remain. Rosy retrospection can influence how we make decisions, and it’s one of the reasons why we easily return into problematic relationships. The longer it is since we experienced the negative influence of a relationship, the more likely we are to let the good memories outweigh the bad memories and to perhaps forgive unforgivable behavior. It’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic (怀旧的) feelings with a healthy degree of doubt. But rosy retrospection does serve an important purpose. It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our psychological wellbeing. In fact, people who tend to remember negative experiences more than positive ones are likely to exhibit psychological disorders. Research generally suggests that our happiest days are still to come. And even if they’re not, it’s still important to believe that they are. Don’t shy away from looking upon the past with a certain degree of nostalgia. But, for the same reason, don’t use the past as an excuse to be unhappy in the present. 28. What does the underlined phrase “rosy retrospection” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Having a preference for good memories. B. Remembering exactly about the details. C. Concentrating on impossible things. D. Thinking objectively about the past: 29. Which of the following is encouraged by the author according to Paragraph 4? A. Reviewing the nostalgic feelings critically. B. Ignoring the nostalgic feelings absolutely. C. Forgiving the unacceptable behavior generously. D. Getting back to the problematic relationships bravely. 30. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The good excuse for present unhappiness. B. The accuracy of remembering past details. C. The importance of maintaining a positive mindset. D. The negative impact of recalling past experiences. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward rosy retrospection according to the passage? A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Favorable. D. Objective. D Technology caused the problem of false news, and it’s easy to think that technology can solve it and that we only need to find the right technology to solve the problem. But this approach ignores valuable lessons concerned with how we acquire knowledge. To understand how false news comes, start with an example. Imagine you’re out for drinks when one of your friends shocks the table with an unproven story about a local famous people. The story is so shocking you’re not sure it could be right. But then, here’s your good friend, putting their reputation on the line. Maybe you should believe it. This is an instance of what philosophers call testimony (证词). It’s similar to the sort of testimony given in a courtroom, but it is less formal and much more frequent. Testimony happens any time you believe something because someone else proves the accuracy of the information. Most of our knowledge about the world is secondhand knowledge that comes to us through testimony. After all, we can’t each do all of our own scientific research, or make our own maps of distant cities. Social media has strange testimonial rules, and it is hard to solve the problem of false news. On Facebook, Twitter and similar platforms, people don’t always mean what they say, and we don’t always expect them to. A the informal Twitter: advertisement goes: “A retweet (转发推文) is not an approval.” When a well-known politician was caught retweeting false statistics about race and crime, he told Fox News it wasn’t a big deal: “Am I gonna check every statistic? All it was is a retweet. It wasn’t from me.” Intellectually (理智上), we know that people do this all of the time on social media, and pass along news without checking its accuracy, but many of us listen to them anyway. The information they share is just too attractive to ignore — especially when it is about our existing political beliefs. 32. Why do we tend to believe surprising news over drinks? A. We’ve confirmed it. B. We may be drunken. C. We find it amazing. D. We trust in our friends. 33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 3? A. The statement in court. B. The talk in a restaurant. C. The evidence of a crime. D. The testimony of a philosopher. 34. Why is it easy for us to believe the content producers on social media? A. We are tolerant of their actions. B. Social media have issued odd regulations. C. We will identify with them readily. D. Social media don’t check the information. 35. What may be the best title for the text? A. How to Fix False News B. How Incorrect Information Arrives C. What Information to Acquire D. When Testimony Disturbs Audience 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There’s a huge difference between outer beauty and inner beauty, and both of them have their place. In our youth-driven culture, external attractiveness is often put at the forefront of desirability in others. ____36____ . Let’s take a look at some truths about inner beauty vs outer beauty. ● ____37____ Physical beauty varies greatly among individuals, with different people finding different features attractive. In contrast, inner beauty is often widely appreciated. Take Princess Diana, for example.

They coexist in a complex, beautiful dance that varies from person to person. True beauty surpasses appearance, rooted in the human spirit. It is subjective and cherished for who we are, not how we look. A. Great outer beauty, striking inner beauty B. However, inner beauty can be earned effortlessly C. Subjective outer beauty, universally visible inner beauty D. In contrast, you don’t need a cent to cultivate inner beauty E. Yet, we often adore the people most for their personality traits F.

Even better, they can be developed by anyone in any circumstances 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，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Cooking has always been a small enjoyment of mine, About a decade ago, I found great ____41____ in creating delicious meals from beginning, However, a series of ____42____, including a few unfortunate cuts, left me ____43____ to cook.

I know I am never going to win a race but now, when I get anything negative, I will think of the kind gentleman who really believed, “You very good… you very fast.” At the time, I was living in the Bay Area, and my mother had come to visit for a few days. On the last day of her stay, I was preparing to go out for a run. I picked up a T-shirt I just bought the other day from a Chinese clothing shop — it had some Chinese characters on the front, and a scene of Honolulu Chinatown on the back. I didn’t speak Chinese, but somehow this special T-shirt was quite soft and good for exercise.Working in a very negative environment, I found morning runs very beneficial — body tired but mind awake. And I had always met an elderly Chinese gentleman walking on the opposite side of the trail (道路) when I was running on other mornings. I had always said, “Good morning,” and he had always smiled warmly and nodded his head slightly. As I was going out the door, my mother suddenly said, “I don’t think running is so hot — that famous runner died.” I started to recount what I had read about Jim Fixx, and how running had probably been the contributing factor to his living far longer than most of the other members of his family, but I knew there was absolutely no point. As I started running on my favorite trail, I found I couldn’t shake my mother’s statement. I was so discouraged that I could hardly run. I began thinking, “Why do I run at all? Serious runners probably think I look silly! I might have a heart attack on the trail — my dad had a fatal (致命的) heart attack at 50 years old, and he was seemingly in better shape than I am.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mother’s statement remained in my mind like a giant blanket. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon hearing the man’s words, I felt more unexplained strength in my step. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Excuse me, could you tell me where I can have my watch fixed? There is a repair shop at the corner of the street just next to the post office. Good afternoon. Welcome to this tour of David and college. As a senior here, I could tell you all about my experiences in classrooms and labs, but I think IT would be most valuable to talk about the campus as we walk around outside to get an overall field of this amazing place. Over to my left is the library. And besides being the main place for students do research for papers, it's also where a lot of students hanging out between classes, there are computers and comfortable chairs everywhere. And on each floor there are areas that do not require you to be quiet. Perhaps this is why our students like IT so much down the road. To my right is the students center, which is where students can buy coffee, snacks and official Davidson college clothing. The student center is open until ten o'clock P. M on school night and until two o'clock AM on weekend nights. Cars and jam, which is named after one of Davidson's most famous professors, is open twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. You can play almost every sport you can imagine there. And there are health classes like yoga and group dance every day, except wednesday. The best part about the gym is the cost. Students pay a yearly fee of fifty, and they get to use of facilities as much as they want. All right, we're coming up to the stadium now. Good afternoon. Welcome to this tour of Davidson college.
