On November 27,1895, Alfred Nobel signed his third and last will at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris. When it was opened and read after his death, the will caused a lot of controversy both in Sweden and internationally, as Nobel had left much of his wealth for the establishment of a prize. His family opposed the establishment of the Nobel Prize, and the prize awarders he named refused to do what he had requested in his will. It was five years before the first Nobel Prize could be awarded in 1901.
In this selected part of the will, Alfred Nobel dictates that his entire remaining assets (资产) should be used to donate “prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred (带来) the greatest benefit to humankind”.
“All of my remaining realisable assets are to be used as follows: the capital, which is converted (换算) to safe securities, is to be a fund, the interest on which is to be distributed annually as prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind. The interest is to be divided into five equal parts and distributed as follows: one part to the person who made the most important discovery or invention in the field of physics; one part to the person who made the most important chemical discovery or improvement; one part to the person who made the most important discovery within the field of physiology or medicine; one part to the person who, in the field of literature, produced the most outstanding work in an idealistic direction; and one part to the person who has done the most or best to advance fellowship among nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the establishment and promotion of peace congresses. The prizes for physics and chemistry are to be awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences; that for physiological or medical achievements by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in Stockholm; and that for champions of peace by a committee of five persons to be selected by the Norwegian Storting. It is my express wish that when awarding the prizes, no consideration be given to nationality, but that the prize be awarded to the worthiest person, whether or not they are Scandinavian.”
4. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about the Nobel Prize
A. The background of the Nobel Prize.
B. The reasons for the Nobel Prize.
C. The functions of the Nobel Prize.
D. The significance of the Nobel Prize.
5. What does the underlined word “dictates” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Admit. B. Order.
C. Remember. D. Remark.
6. What can we say about Nobel’s Will from the text
A. It’s a must for a scientist. B. It’s reasonable to the world.
C. It’s difficult to realize it. D. It’s an honor to a person or his country.

When it was opened and read after his death, the will caused a lot of controversy both in Sweden and internationally, as Nobel had left much of his wealth for the establishment of a prize.（1895年11月27日，阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔在巴黎的瑞典-挪威俱乐部签署了他的第三份也是最后一份遗嘱。当遗嘱在他死后被打开并宣读时，在瑞典和国际上引起了许多争议，因为诺贝尔留下了他的大部分财富来设立一个奖项。）”可知，第一段主要讲的是诺贝尔奖的背景。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“that his entire remaining assets (资产) should be used to donate “prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred (带来) the greatest benefit to humankind（他的全部剩余资产将用于“奖励在过去一年里为人类做出最大贡献的人”）”可知，这是诺贝尔在遗嘱中的命令，因此划线词dictates的意思是 “命令”，即Order，故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“In this selected part of the will, Alfred Nobel dictates that his entire remaining assets (资产) should be used to donate “prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred (带来) the greatest benefit to humankind”（在遗嘱的这部分精选中，阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔规定，他的全部剩余资产应用于“奖励在过去一年中为人类做出最大贡献的人”）”可知，诺贝尔的遗嘱是对一个人或他的国家的荣誉，故选D。

Owning a home will make you 326,000 wealthier over a 30-year period than renting, before potential house price growth is even considered, a report has suggested.
The Equity (股本) Release Council, a trade body, found that nearly one in three homeowners saw their mortgage (按揭贷款) as an investment in their future. Nearly half of homeowners with a mortgage also agreed they were able to save more because their loan was cheaper than renting, thanks to unprecedented (没有先例的) low interest rates. About 40 per cent added that they believed having a mortgage in later life was becoming more acceptable and 57 percent said that they were looking at ways to release equity from their properties.
The report Home advantage: intergenerational perspectives on property wealth in later life examined trends that have changed the financial landscape for pensions and home ownership over the past three decades. The survey covered 5,000 UK adults questioned in May 2021. It compared the cost of renting privately with paying a mortgage on the average first-time buyer. It assumed that average rents rise by 2 per cent each year and that the homeowner takes a 95 per cent loan-to-value mortgage on a 220,000 home. It takes account of other costs of owning, such as maintenance. Owning a home is expected to become more critical to families’ financial security and wellbeing in later life, but the report also warned of lifelong inequality for those — generally younger people — unable to buy.
David Burrowes, the Equity Release Council chairman, said: “For those who manage to buy their own home during their working lives, the extra confidence and flexibility this provides will be even more critical to their financial wellbeing than it is today.”
8. What is the first paragraph intended for
A. Being an evidence. B. Coming straight to the point.
C. Acting as an example. D. Being a detail.
9. Why does the author introduce the report in Paragraph 3
A. To show the difficulty for younger people to rent a home.
B. To explain why younger people own a home.
C. To voice his views on mortgage .
D. To show the difficulty for younger people to own a home
10. What effect would David Burrowes’ words have on homeowners
A. Encouraging. B. Disturbing.
C. Discouraging. D. Surprising.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Cost of Renting Higher than Owning
B. Cost of Owning Higher than Renting
C. Owning Your Home Makes You Wealthier than Renting
D. Renting Makes You Wealthier than Owning Your Home
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是一份报告显示，在30年的时间里，拥有一套房子比租房能让你多赚32.6万英镑，而这还没有考虑潜在的房价上涨，本文分析了其中的原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Owning a home will make you 326,000 wealthier over a 30-year period than renting, before potential house price growth is even considered, a report has suggested.（一份报告显示，在30年的时间里，拥有一套房子比租房能让你多赚32.6万英镑，而这还没有考虑潜在的房价上涨。 ）”及以下分析原因可知，本段的目的是直奔主题，即Coming straight to the point，故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“It assumed that average rents rise by 2 per cent each year and that the homeowner takes a 95 per cent loan-to-value mortgage on a 220,000 home. It takes account of other costs of owning, such as maintenance. Owning a home is expected to become more critical to families’ financial security and wellbeing in later life, but the report also warned of lifelong inequality for those — generally younger people --- unable to buy.（该研究假设，平均租金每年上涨2%，房主为一套价值22万英镑的房子接受95%的贷款价值比抵押贷款。它考虑了其他的拥有成本，比如维护。拥有住房预计将对家庭晚年的经济安全和幸福变得更加重要，但该报告也警告说，买不起房子的人——通常是年轻人——可能会面临终身不平等。） ”可知，这份调查说明抵押贷款的意义，因此作者介绍了这篇报告来表达他对抵押贷款的看法。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“For those who manage to buy their own home during their working lives, the extra confidence and flexibility this provides will be even more critical to their financial wellbeing than it is today.（对于那些在工作期间购买了自己的房子的人来说，这提供的额外信心和灵活性对他们的财务健康将比现在更加重要。 ）”可知，大卫·布伦斯的话会对房主产生的影响是鼓励性的，故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Owning a home will make you 326,000 wealthier over a 30-year period than renting, before potential house price growth is even considered, a report has suggested.（一份报告显示，在30年的时间里，拥有一套房子比租房能让你多赚32.6万英镑，而这还没有考虑潜在的房价上涨。 ）”可知，本文主要讲的是买房比租房更赚钱，因此本文最好的题目是C选项Owning Your Home Makes You Wealthier than Renting（拥有自己的房子比租房更让你富有），故选C。
D
Videos and livestreams with beauty tips are quite common nowadays. But if the tutor is just 5 years old, we should think twice about accepting the trend.
In an age where online celebrities and influencers control so many social platforms, chances are children are being exposed online to endless beauty products. There, child celebrities are pushing lipsticks, mascara, rouge and foundation in their makeup courses. “I just celebrated my 5th birthday, and now I am about to do this peach blossom makeup,” said a 5-year-old in a voiceover for her online video beauty tutorial.
Cosmetics for kids sends a negative message about self-worth by putting too much emphasis on outer beauty at too early an age. Sometimes, in some of the online beauty courses, makeup equals a hypersexualization which can have dangerous long-term effects. On the other hand, there are a great number of beauty products across many categories. It takes a lot of energy for kids to get familiar with using a certain type of cosmetics, depriving them of time better spent studying or playing outside. Moreover, in many cases, social media gets addictive. Exposing children early on to makeup and “online fame” could become an unhealthy indulgence.
Many online influencers often say, “Your kindergarten peers are using these products, so ask your mother to buy them for you as well.” Upon hearing such guidance, children as young as kindergarteners are quick to follow the fashion. Seeing beauty trends at such a young age also means youngsters face the anxiety and self-esteem issues surrounding body image far too early in life. Though reminding children they are beautiful just as they are can’t always compete with the attraction of the steady stream of marketers and influencers promising virtual perfection, parents and schools should still serve as guides for kids, teaching them a more multidimensional perspective that instead gets to the heart of what real beauty involves.
12. Why does the author say “we should think twice about accepting the trend” at the beginning
A. We should be calm. B. We ought to be active.
C. We should think much. D. We ought to follow the trend.
13. What causes the young to value outer beauty according to the third paragraph
A. Social media. B. Beauty courses.
C. Child celebrities. D. Cosmetics for kids.
14. Which of the following may be responsible for children surrounded by body image
A. Kindergarten peers. B. Parents and schools.
C. Online influencers. D. Virtual perfection.
15. What can we infer about the author’s attitude to beauty trends at younger age from the text
A. Active. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Pessimistic.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今儿童化妆品过早地过分强调外在美，从而传递了关于自我价值的负面信息的社会现象，说明了这背后的原因以及正确的处理方法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Videos and livestreams with beauty tips are quite common nowadays.”以及第二段中“In an age where online celebrities and influencers control so many social platforms, chances are children are being exposed online to endless beauty products. (在这个网络名人和网红控制着众多社交平台的时代，孩子们有可能在网上接触到无穷无尽的美容产品)”以及but表示转折，可知，虽然关于美容技巧的视频和直播现在很常见，但如果主播只有5岁，我们应该保持冷静。可推知，作者一开始就说“接受趋势要三思”是因为我们应该保持冷静。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Cosmetics for kids sends a negative message about self-worth by putting too much emphasis on outer beauty at too early an age.(儿童化妆品过早地过分强调外在美，从而传递了关于自我价值的负面信息)”可知，是儿童化妆品导致年轻人重视外在美。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Many online influencers often say, “Your kindergarten peers are using these products, so ask your mother to buy them for you as well.” Upon hearing such guidance, children as young as kindergarteners are quick to follow the fashion. Seeing beauty trends at such a young age also means youngsters face the anxiety and self-esteem issues surrounding body image far too early in life. (很多网红经常说，“你幼儿园的同学都在用这些产品，所以让你妈妈也给你买。”一听到这样的指导，幼儿园的孩子们很快就跟上了潮流。在如此年轻的年纪就看到美容潮流也意味着年轻人过早地面对围绕身体形象的焦虑和自尊问题)”可知，家长和学校是导致孩子被身体形象包围的原因。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Though reminding children they are beautiful just as they are can’t always compete with the attraction of the steady stream of marketers and influencers promising virtual perfection, parents and schools should still serve as guides for kids, teaching them a more multidimensional perspective that instead gets to the heart of what real beauty involves. (尽管提醒孩子们他们的美丽就像他们自己一样，并不能总是与源源不断的营销人员和影响者承诺的虚拟完美的吸引力相抗衡，但父母和学校仍然应该作为孩子们的向导，教给他们一个更多维的观点，让他们了解真正的美丽涉及的核心)”可推知，作者对年轻人的审美趋势是客观态度。故选C。

【46题详解】
考查副词。句意：有时候，最后通牒(“停止喝酒，否则我就走”)确实有用，但我相信，根据自己的需要和能力做出选择，可能会更有力、更有用。由前面的“Sometimes ultimatums (“Stop drinking or I’ll leave”) do work”及空格后的“I believe it might be more powerful and useful for you to make a ____ (choose) based on your own needs and capacities”可知，句子表示“有时候，最后通牒(“停止喝酒，否则我就走”)确实有用，但我相信，根据自己的需要和能力做出选择，可能会更有力、更有用”，前后是转折关系，因此空格处是“但是”，是but/yet，故填but/yet。

【49题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：然后，你可以根据自己的判断和不容商量的条件，以及他的需要，继续对这段关系做出选择。as well as是固定短语，意为“也、还”，因此空格处是well，故填well。
【50题详解】
考查省略句。句意：当你与所爱之人的成瘾症做斗争时，匿名戒酒会可能会改变你的游戏规则。根据句意可知，句子应是when you are dealing with the addiction disorder of a loved one，是when引导的时间状语从句，可省略从句中的主语you和be动词are，因此空格处是现在分词dealing。故填dealing。
第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10 分）

My name is Tom, a senior high school student. I would like to share my trouble to everyone and I am looking forward to get some help from all of you. Firstly, computer games are very popular among teenager nowadays, and I am also attracted to them. I am so addicted to playing computer games that I can hardly get rid of them, that does great harm to me ! Secondly, I find it quite difficult learn the subjects well. Thirdly, I used to be a self-confident boy, but now I am not confident in me. Though the head teacher as well as my classmates are friendly and kind to me, but I do not feel like making friends with them.
I wish I would become a outgoing and useful person from now on, but I do not know what to do. I would be very gratefully if you could give me some good advice.
【答案】to→with 2.get→getting 3.teenager→teenagers 4.that→which 5.在learn前加to
6. me→myself 7.删掉but 8.are→is 9.a→an 1 0.gratefully→grateful
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇求助信，作为一个青少年，作者谈到了自己生活中的苦恼，希望大家给他建议，帮助他。
【详解】考查动词share的用法。句意：我想要和每个人分享我的烦恼。本句中的share，常见搭配为share sth with sb。故将to 改为 with。
考查动词短语的用法。句意：并且我盼望得到一些来自你们所有人的帮助。look forward to 后应加名词或动名词。故将get改为getting。
考查可数名词。句意：如今电脑游戏在青少年中非常流行。teenager,青少年为可数名词，本句泛指一类人，应用复数形式。故将teenager改为teenagers。
考查定语从句。句意：我沉溺于电脑游戏以至于我几乎不能摆脱它们，这对我很有害。逗号后面为非限定性定语从句，引导词在从句中做主语，不能为that，引导词指前面的整个句子，应该是which。故将that改为which。
考查不定式。句意：我发现学好这些科目很难。find +it + adj +to do，表示发现做某事怎样。其中真正的宾语为动词不定式。故在learn前面加to。
考查代词。句意：但现在我对我自己不自信。本句中主语和宾语为同一个人，应用反身代词。故将me 改为myself。
考查主谓一致。句意：虽然同学们和班主任都对我友好和蔼，本句中as well as 连接了两个并列主语，应遵循就前原则，谓语动词根据前主语确定。故将are改为is。
考查连词。句意：虽然同学们和班主任都对我友好和蔼，但我感觉不想和他们交朋友。本句句首有连词though，句中就不能再有连词，一个连词连接两个分句。故将but删掉。
考查定冠词。句意：我希望从现在起我能成为一个外向并且有用的人。outgoing是一个元音音素开头的形容词，前面应用an。故将a改为an。
考查形容词。句意：如果你们能够给我一些好的建议我将非常感激。be 后面应为表语形容词，而不是副词，故将gratefully改为grateful。

On November 27,1895, Alfred Nobel signed his third and last will at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris. When it was opened and read after his death, the will caused a lot of controversy both in Sweden and internationally, as Nobel had left much of his wealth for the establishment of a prize. His family opposed the establishment of the Nobel Prize, and the prize awarders he named refused to do what he had requested in his will. It was five years before the first Nobel Prize could be awarded in 1901.
In this selected part of the will, Alfred Nobel dictates that his entire remaining assets (资产) should be used to donate “prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred (带来) the greatest benefit to humankind”.
“All of my remaining realisable assets are to be used as follows: the capital, which is converted (换算) to safe securities, is to be a fund, the interest on which is to be distributed annually as prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind. The interest is to be divided into five equal parts and distributed as follows: one part to the person who made the most important discovery or invention in the field of physics; one part to the person who made the most important chemical discovery or improvement; one part to the person who made the most important discovery within the field of physiology or medicine; one part to the person who, in the field of literature, produced the most outstanding work in an idealistic direction; and one part to the person who has done the most or best to advance fellowship among nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the establishment and promotion of peace congresses. The prizes for physics and chemistry are to be awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences; that for physiological or medical achievements by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in Stockholm; and that for champions of peace by a committee of five persons to be selected by the Norwegian Storting. It is my express wish that when awarding the prizes, no consideration be given to nationality, but that the prize be awarded to the worthiest person, whether or not they are Scandinavian.”
4. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about the Nobel Prize
A. The background of the Nobel Prize.
B. The reasons for the Nobel Prize.
C. The functions of the Nobel Prize.
D. The significance of the Nobel Prize.
5. What does the underlined word “dictates” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Admit. B. Order.
C. Remember. D. Remark.
6. What can we say about Nobel’s Will from the text
A. It’s a must for a scientist. B. It’s reasonable to the world.
C. It’s difficult to realize it. D. It’s an honor to a person or his country.
7. What can be inferred about Tu Youyou
A. She was awarded by the Academy in Stockholm.
B. She was awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences.
C. She was awarded by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.
D She was awarded by a committee of five persons to be selected by the Norwegian Storting

Owning a home will make you 326,000 wealthier over a 30-year period than renting, before potential house price growth is even considered, a report has suggested.
The Equity (股本) Release Council, a trade body, found that nearly one in three homeowners saw their mortgage (按揭贷款) as an investment in their future. Nearly half of homeowners with a mortgage also agreed they were able to save more because their loan was cheaper than renting, thanks to unprecedented (没有先例的) low interest rates. About 40 per cent added that they believed having a mortgage in later life was becoming more acceptable and 57 percent said that they were looking at ways to release equity from their properties.
The report Home advantage: intergenerational perspectives on property wealth in later life examined trends that have changed the financial landscape for pensions and home ownership over the past three decades. The survey covered 5,000 UK adults questioned in May 2021. It compared the cost of renting privately with paying a mortgage on the average first-time buyer. It assumed that average rents rise by 2 per cent each year and that the homeowner takes a 95 per cent loan-to-value mortgage on a 220,000 home. It takes account of other costs of owning, such as maintenance.

Videos and livestreams with beauty tips are quite common nowadays. But if the tutor is just 5 years old, we should think twice about accepting the trend.
In an age where online celebrities and influencers control so many social platforms, chances are children are being exposed online to endless beauty products. There, child celebrities are pushing lipsticks, mascara, rouge and foundation in their makeup courses. “I just celebrated my 5th birthday, and now I am about to do this peach blossom makeup,” said a 5-year-old in a voiceover for her online video beauty tutorial.
Cosmetics for kids sends a negative message about self-worth by putting too much emphasis on outer beauty at too early an age. Sometimes, in some of the online beauty courses, makeup equals a hypersexualization which can have dangerous long-term effects. On the other hand, there are a great number of beauty products across many categories. It takes a lot of energy for kids to get familiar with using a certain type of cosmetics, depriving them of time better spent studying or playing outside. Moreover, in many cases, social media gets addictive. Exposing children early on to makeup and “online fame” could become an unhealthy indulgence.
Many online influencers often say, “Your kindergarten peers are using these products, so ask your mother to buy them for you as well.” Upon hearing such guidance, children as young as kindergarteners are quick to follow the fashion. Seeing beauty trends at such a young age also means youngsters face the anxiety and self-esteem issues surrounding body image far too early in life. Though reminding children they are beautiful just as they are can’t always compete with the attraction of the steady stream of marketers and influencers promising virtual perfection, parents and schools should still serve as guides for kids, teaching them a more multidimensional perspective that instead gets to the heart of what real beauty involves.
12. Why does the author say “we should think twice about accepting the trend” at the beginning
A. We should be calm. B. We ought to be active.
C. We should think much. D. We ought to follow the trend.
13. What causes the young to value outer beauty according to the third paragraph
A. Social media. B. Beauty courses.
C. Child celebrities. D. Cosmetics for kids.
14. Which of the following may be responsible for children surrounded by body image
A. Kindergarten peers. B. Parents and schools.
C. Online influencers. D. Virtual perfection.
15 What can we infer about the author’s attitude to beauty trends at younger age from the text
A. Active. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Pessimistic.
