Ever since he could remember, his family had spent Saturday mornings at the town football fields watching football games. The games looked exciting, and Sam couldn’t wait to join a team one day. Now that Sam was old enough to play on the beginner team, he felt nervous before his first real game. During practice, it was easy to kick the ball into the goal when there was no one trying to stop him. However, a real game would be very different. When the game began, Sam quickly found that it was much harder than he had expected. The players moved fast, and the ball flew quickly from one side of the field to the other. Soon, Sam felt tired and wanted to stop for a moment. Just then, the ball rolled to his feet. Sam knew what he should do. He gave the ball short kicks all the way down the field. He positioned himself just in front of the net and gave one last, hard kick. The ball sailed into the net. Sam scored his first goal! Sam turned around to see that the other kids were jumping up and down in excitement. But they were wearing red shirts, not blue ones like his. Sam realized he had kicked the ball into the wrong net! He felt his face grow very hot and red. He wanted to cry and give up football. At that time, Brian, his teammate, ran over to him. He put his arm around Sam. “Great kick,” Brian said. Sam looked at his face to see if he was joking. “Now kick another one into the right goal so we can catch up!” Brian added. Sam nodded. He ran toward the ball, ready to try his best once more. 31. Why did Sam feel nervous before his first football game? A. He was afraid of making mistakes. B. He knew the real game would be hard. C. He didn’t have enough time to practice. D. He didn’t get along with his teammates. 32. What does the underlined word “sailed” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Moved quickly and easily. B. Turned quickly and suddenly. C. Dropped suddenly and heavily. D. Disappeared slowly and completely. 33. How did Sam probably feel right after he realized his mistake? A. Relaxed. B. Nervous. C. Interested. D. Upset. 34. What did Brian do after Sam’s mistake? A. He laughed at Sam. B. He encouraged Sam. C. He got angry with Sam. D. He asked Sam to have a rest. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Two Good Friends B. A Goal to Remember C. A Team’s Big Moment D. Sam’s First Football Practice 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. D 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述了热爱足球的Sam第一次参加正式足球比赛时，不慎踢进乌龙球，在队友Brian的鼓励下重拾信心、准备继续拼搏的故事。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“During practice, it was easy to kick the ball into the goal when there was no one trying to stop him. However, a real game would be very different.”可知，Sam清楚正式比赛和练习不同，难度会大很多，因此他在赛前感到紧张。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第4段“He positioned himself just in front of the net and gave one last, hard kick. The ball sailed into the net.”可知，Sam在球门前奋力踢了最后一脚，球快速顺畅地飞入球网，因此sailed的含义是“快速且顺畅地移动”。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第5段“He felt his face grow very hot and red. He wanted to cry and give up football.”可推知，Sam意识到自己踢错球门后，羞愧得脸发烫，甚至想哭、想放弃足球，说明他当时非常沮丧。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第6段“He put his arm around Sam.‘Great kick,’ Brian said. ‘Now kick another one into the right goal so we can catch up!’ Brian added.”可知，Sam犯错后，Brian主动上前，用话语鼓励他继续努力。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。全文围绕Sam第一次足球赛中踢进的乌龙球展开，这个进球既让他窘迫，也让他收获了队友的鼓励，令他十分难忘，“A Goal to Remember”最契合文章核心内容。 C Have you ever seen a dog get excited about ice cream? Many animals love sweet things, but others, like cats, simply don’t care if something is sweet. Why is that? Scientists at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Pennsylvania, US, tried to find the answer. The scientists discovered that cats cannot taste sweetness because of their taste buds (味蕾). Humans and many other mammals (哺乳动物) have two special structures on their taste buds that allow them to taste sweetness. Cats, however, are missing one of these key structures. Without it, sweetness is completely unknown to them. Dogs, on the other hand, have these structures. Dogs love at least four different kinds of natural sugars found in fruits and honey because they give them energy. However, dogs do not seem to enjoy artificial sweeteners (人工甜味剂). In fact, most animals avoid artificial sweeteners, although some mice and monkeys may like a few of them. The scientists have also made a surprising discovery about fruit flies (果蝇). Even though they are tiny insects, they like almost the same sweet things as humans do. In one study, researchers tried 21 different substances (物质) on fruit flies. Twenty of them tasted sweet to humans, and the fruit flies liked the same 20. This finding is useful for scientists to develop new sweeteners. In one experiment, fruit flies were offered two different sweeteners. One was colored red and the other blue. When the flies ate the blue one more often, their bodies turned blue. That suggests humans would probably prefer the blue sweetener as well! These discoveries show that animals do not all enjoy sweet foods in the same way. By learning about their taste, scientists can better understand both animals and humans. 36. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To answer a question about sweet foods. B. To compare the eating habits of cats and dogs. C. To introduce the topic of animal taste differences. D. To show a lovely scene of a dog eating ice cream. 37. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Cats prefer natural sugars. B. Dogs prefer artificial sweeteners. C. Cats and dogs have different taste buds. D. Cats and dogs need energy from sugars. 38. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The artificial sweeteners. B. The 21 substances. C. The natural sugars. D. The fruit flies. 39. How does the writer explain that fruit flies can help develop new sweeteners? A. By listing numbers and facts. B. By sharing personal experiences. C. By giving an example of an experiment. D. By explaining the steps of making sweeteners. 40. What’s the structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2... ) A. B. C. D. 【答案】36. C 37. C 38. B 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了美国莫奈尔化学感官中心的科学家围绕动物甜味感知差异开展的研究，分别说明了猫、狗、果蝇的甜味感知特点，以及果蝇相关研究在开发新甜味剂上的应用，最终指出动物对甜食的喜好并不相同，研究动物味觉能帮助人类更好地了解动物与自身。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第1段“Many animals love sweet things, but others, like cats, simply don’t care if something is sweet. Why is that? Scientists at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Pennsylvania, US, tried to find the answer.” 可推知，第一段通过提出动物对甜味的喜好差异的问题，引出下文关于动物味觉差异的研究主题。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“Humans and many other mammals have two special structures on their taste buds that allow them to taste sweetness. Cats, however, are missing one of these key structures...Dogs, on the other hand, have these structures.” 可知，猫和狗的味蕾结构存在差异，因此对甜味的感知不同。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“In one study, researchers tried 21 different substances on fruit flies. Twenty of them tasted sweet to humans, and the fruit flies liked the same 20.” 可知，研究人员测试了21种不同的物质，其中20种对人类来说是甜的，果蝇也同样喜欢这20种，因此them指代前文提到的21种物质。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“In one experiment, fruit flies were offered two different sweeteners. One was colored red and the other blue. When the flies ate the blue one more often, their bodies turned blue. That suggests humans would probably prefer the blue sweetener as well!” 可知，作者通过列举一个具体的实验例子，解释了果蝇能够帮助开发新甜味剂。 【40题详解】 篇章结构题。梳理全文逻辑：第1段提出问题，引出动物甜味感知差异的研究主题，是总起部分；第2段介绍猫、狗等哺乳动物的甜味感知差异及原因，是第一个分述模块；第3段介绍果蝇的甜味感知与人类高度相似的发现，第4段介绍该发现在开发新甜味剂中的应用，第3、4段同属果蝇相关研究，是第二个分述模块；第5段总结研究结论与意义，是总结部分。全文为总-分-总结构，分述分为两大模块，与选项A的结构一致。 D Many people enjoy listening to music while exercising. Whether they are walking, running, or riding a bike, music seems to make the activity more enjoyable and help them stay more focused and active. But is this just a feeling, or is there real evidence (证据) behind it? A review of nearly 140 studies in 2020 showed that music can really improve both people’s feelings and their physical performance during exercise. In general, people who listen to music often feel happier, find the exercise easier, and use oxygen (氧气) more efficiently. Then how does music work in the body and mind? During light or moderate (中等的) exercise, music helps by taking attention away from tiredness and discomfort. When people are walking or riding, their brains focus more on the rhythm of the music and less on how tired they feel. During harder exercise, however, music cannot completely distract (转移注意力) people from the effort. Instead, it gives them energy and encourages them to keep going. Besides, the rhythm of the music also matters. Experts suggest that music with 120 to 140 beats per minute (bpm) is suitable for most exercise. Slower music is suitable for light activities like walking, while faster music works better for something like running. However, very fast music can be difficult to follow during high-speed movement. Finally, music only works well when people actually enjoy it. A study found that people perform worse if they exercise with music they dislike. So, next time you exercise, choose music you enjoy. It might become one of your best exercise partners. 41. Why does the writer mention the 2020 review of nearly 140 studies? A. To show how music is used in modern sports. B. To encourage people to do more scientific research. C. To provide scientific evidence for the effects of music. D. To compare different opinions about music and exercise. 42. According to Paragraph 3, music helps during light or moderate exercise by________. A. giving people lots of energy directly B. stopping people feeling tired forever C. drawing people’s attention away from tiredness D. making people exercise much longer than planned 43. Which type of music may be a good choice when you’re jogging? A. 160 bpm. B. 130 bpm. C. 100 bpm. D. 80 bpm. 44. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards listening to music while exercising? A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Surprised. 45. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Popular Music for People. B. Great Ways to Do Exercise. C. How Music Improves Exercise. D. Why Exercise Makes You Happy. 【答案】41. C 42. C 43. B 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章核心对象是音乐与运动的关系，核心结论是音乐能改善运动时的感受和表现。行文探讨了科学证据、作用原理、节奏选择及个人喜好对运动效果的影响。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But is this just a feeling, or is there real evidence behind it? A review of nearly 140 studies in 2020 showed that music can really improve…”可知，作者引用 2020 年的研究 review 是为了回答前句关于是否有真实证据的疑问，即提供音乐效果的科学证据。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“During light or moderate exercise, music helps by taking attention away from tiredness and discomfort.”可知，在轻度或中等强度运动中，音乐通过转移人们对疲劳和不适的注意力来发挥作用。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Experts suggest that music with 120 to 140 beats per minute (bpm) is suitable for most exercise.”以及“very fast music can be difficult to follow”可知，慢跑属于大多数运动范畴，130 bpm 在建议的 120 至 140 bpm 范围内，而 160 bpm 过快难以跟随，80 bpm 和 100 bpm 较慢适合走路。 【44题详解】 观点态度题。根据最后一段“So, next time you exercise, choose music you enjoy. It might become one of your best exercise partners.”可知，作者建议运动时选择喜欢的音乐并将其视为伙伴，表明作者对运动听音乐持支持态度。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“A review of nearly 140 studies in 2020 showed that music can really improve both people's feelings and their physical performance during exercise.”及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了音乐如何通过不同方式改善运动体验和表现，核心内容是音乐如何提升运动效果。 第二节 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项, 使短文通顺、连贯, 意思完整。 (共5小题; 每小题1分, 满分5分) E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Do you want to improve your vocabulary? Having a strong vocabulary can make you a better speaker and writer. ____46____ First, read different kinds of materials. Don’t just read textbooks.

Writing can help you remember them better, and you can also use the journal to review them from time to time. ____48____ Fourth, play word games. They are fun and can help you remember new words. You can play them with friends to make vocabulary learning more enjoyable. ____49____ Try to use them when talking with friends or writing short articles. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, as you can learn from them. Building your vocabulary doesn’t have to be boring. ____50____ You will soon find that learning new words becomes interesting and easy!

VII. 短文填空 (共10小题: 每小题1分, 满分10分) Living and studying in Russia as a foreign student has been full of challenges and the biggest one has been the language.

I felt like I couldn’t express even my most basic needs. But I kept ____65____ (practise) every day. Slowly, I could put together simple sentences. Every small success felt like a big win. After years of living here, I can now deal ____66____ most everyday situations without much trouble. I still make mistakes, but I’ve learned to laugh at ____67____ (they) with my Russian friends and teachers, who have always been encouraging. My fear of speaking is mostly gone, and now I ____68____ (true) enjoy the language. Learning Russian has helped me not only survive but also understand Russian culture.

Sitting at a cafe by the river, I realized I was no longer deaf to the beautiful language spoken around me. My language journey is not over yet, ____70____ it has been the most rewarding (有收获的) part of my time in Russia. It has taught me the value of never giving up. 【答案】61. arrived 62. easier 63. rules 64. pronounce 65. practising 66. with 67. them 68. truly 69. the 70. but 【解析】 【导语】本文作者讲述自己在俄罗斯留学克服俄语难关、不断练习，从语言障碍重重到能顺畅交流，收获成长感悟的经历。 【61题详解】 句意：当我第一次抵达莫斯科时，俄语就像一堵我无法翻越的高墙。本句讲述当初刚到莫斯科时发生的事情，是过去的动作，所以用arrive的一般过去式arrived。 【62题详解】 句意：我感到沮丧，并且很快意识到，在社交媒体上，出国留学看起来比它实际的样子容易得多。句中有than表示比较，要用easy的比较级easier。 【63题详解】 句意：俄语语法甚至更难，有许多的规则和动词变形。many后面要接可数名词复数，rule的复数形式是rules。 【64题详解】 句意：更糟糕的是，在最初几周，我甚至也不能正确读出单词。情态动词couldn’t后面要接动词原形，pronunciation是名词，对应的动词是pronounce。 【65题详解】 句意：但是我坚持每天练习。固定搭配keep doing sth.，表示“坚持/持续做某事”，所以practise变为practising。 【66题详解】 句意：在这里生活多年之后，我现在可以毫无困难地应对大多数日常场景。固定短语deal with，表示“处理、应对”。 【67题详解】 句意：但我已经学会和我的俄罗斯朋友、老师们一起一笑置之，他们一直都很鼓励我。介词at后面要用人称代词宾格，they的宾格是them，指代前面的mistakes。 【68题详解】 句意：我害怕开口说俄语的感觉基本消失了，现在我真正地喜爱这门语言。此处修饰动词enjoy，要用副词，true的副词形式是truly。 【69题详解】 句意：我甚至去圣彼得堡进行了一次周末旅行，在那里我真的可以和当地人交流。locals是特指这个地方的当地人，前面加定冠词the。 【70题详解】 句意：我的语言学习旅程还没有结束，但这是我在俄罗斯这段时光里收获最多的部分。前后分句是转折关系，所以用连词but。 VIII. 书面表达 (15分) 71. 假设你是李华，你的美国笔友George近来因父亲工作调动来中国学习，他给你发来一封电子邮件向你求助。请阅读该邮件并回复。80 词左右。 Dear Li Hua, I’m writing to ask for your help.

Ever since he could remember, his family had spent Saturday mornings at the town football fields watching football games. The games looked exciting, and Sam couldn’t wait to join a team one day. Now that Sam was old enough to play on the beginner team, he felt nervous before his first real game. During practice, it was easy to kick the ball into the goal when there was no one trying to stop him. However, a real game would be very different. When the game began, Sam quickly found that it was much harder than he had expected. The players moved fast, and the ball flew quickly from one side of the field to the other. Soon, Sam felt tired and wanted to stop for a moment. Just then, the ball rolled to his feet. Sam knew what he should do. He gave the ball short kicks all the way down the field. He positioned himself just in front of the net and gave one last, hard kick. The ball sailed into the net. Sam scored his first goal! Sam turned around to see that the other kids were jumping up and down in excitement. But they were wearing red shirts, not blue ones like his. Sam realized he had kicked the ball into the wrong net! He felt his face grow very hot and red. He wanted to cry and give up football. At that time, Brian, his teammate, ran over to him. He put his arm around Sam. “Great kick,” Brian said. Sam looked at his face to see if he was joking. “Now kick another one into the right goal so we can catch up!” Brian added. Sam nodded. He ran toward the ball, ready to try his best once more. 31. Why did Sam feel nervous before his first football game? A. He was afraid of making mistakes. B. He knew the real game would be hard. C. He didn’t have enough time to practice. D. He didn’t get along with his teammates. 32. What does the underlined word “sailed” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Moved quickly and easily. B. Turned quickly and suddenly. C. Dropped suddenly and heavily. D. Disappeared slowly and completely. 33. How did Sam probably feel right after he realized his mistake? A. Relaxed. B. Nervous. C. Interested. D. Upset. 34. What did Brian do after Sam’s mistake? A. He laughed at Sam. B. He encouraged Sam. C. He got angry with Sam. D. He asked Sam to have a rest. 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Two Good Friends B. A Goal to Remember C. A Team’s Big Moment D. Sam’s First Football Practice C Have you ever seen a dog get excited about ice cream? Many animals love sweet things, but others, like cats, simply don’t care if something is sweet. Why is that? Scientists at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Pennsylvania, US, tried to find the answer. The scientists discovered that cats cannot taste sweetness because of their taste buds (味蕾). Humans and many other mammals (哺乳动物) have two special structures on their taste buds that allow them to taste sweetness. Cats, however, are missing one of these key structures. Without it, sweetness is completely unknown to them. Dogs, on the other hand, have these structures. Dogs love at least four different kinds of natural sugars found in fruits and honey because they give them energy. However, dogs do not seem to enjoy artificial sweeteners (人工甜味剂). In fact, most animals avoid artificial sweeteners, although some mice and monkeys may like a few of them. The scientists have also made a surprising discovery about fruit flies (果蝇). Even though they are tiny insects, they like almost the same sweet things as humans do. In one study, researchers tried 21 different substances (物质) on fruit flies. Twenty of them tasted sweet to humans, and the fruit flies liked the same 20. This finding is useful for scientists to develop new sweeteners. In one experiment, fruit flies were offered two different sweeteners. One was colored red and the other blue. When the flies ate the blue one more often, their bodies turned blue. That suggests humans would probably prefer the blue sweetener as well! These discoveries show that animals do not all enjoy sweet foods in the same way. By learning about their taste, scientists can better understand both animals and humans. 36. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To answer a question about sweet foods. B. To compare the eating habits of cats and dogs. C. To introduce the topic of animal taste differences. D. To show a lovely scene of a dog eating ice cream. 37. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Cats prefer natural sugars. B. Dogs prefer artificial sweeteners. C. Cats and dogs have different taste buds. D. Cats and dogs need energy from sugars. 38. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The artificial sweeteners. B. The 21 substances. C. The natural sugars. D. The fruit flies. 39. How does the writer explain that fruit flies can help develop new sweeteners? A. By listing numbers and facts. B. By sharing personal experiences. C. By giving an example of an experiment. D. By explaining the steps of making sweeteners. 40. What’s the structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2... ) A. B. C. D. D Many people enjoy listening to music while exercising. Whether they are walking, running, or riding a bike, music seems to make the activity more enjoyable and help them stay more focused and active. But is this just a feeling, or is there real evidence (证据) behind it? A review of nearly 140 studies in 2020 showed that music can really improve both people’s feelings and their physical performance during exercise. In general, people who listen to music often feel happier, find the exercise easier, and use oxygen (氧气) more efficiently. Then how does music work in the body and mind? During light or moderate (中等的) exercise, music helps by taking attention away from tiredness and discomfort. When people are walking or riding, their brains focus more on the rhythm of the music and less on how tired they feel. During harder exercise, however, music cannot completely distract (转移注意力) people from the effort. Instead, it gives them energy and encourages them to keep going. Besides, the rhythm of the music also matters. Experts suggest that music with 120 to 140 beats per minute (bpm) is suitable for most exercise. Slower music is suitable for light activities like walking, while faster music works better for something like running. However, very fast music can be difficult to follow during high-speed movement. Finally, music only works well when people actually enjoy it. A study found that people perform worse if they exercise with music they dislike. So, next time you exercise, choose music you enjoy. It might become one of your best exercise partners. 41. Why does the writer mention the 2020 review of nearly 140 studies? A. To show how music is used in modern sports. B.
