Max, a 15-year-old boy, produced the Vybpro, a wearable wristband which warns users whenever they are about to touch their faces. The gesture has been recognized as one of the key ways that COVID-19 can be spread, making it a potentially life-saving invention.
He first hit on the excellent idea two years ago for the purpose of reducing the spread of the cold and flu. After both of Max’s parents were infected with COVID-19 four months ago, however, he put in all his effort to develop a working prototype (模型).
Worn on both wrists the intelligent device is expected to sell for 89. It uses position-sending technology algorithms (算法) to tell between predicted face touching and other hand motions. Then the device warns users of hand gestures that are dangerously near the face.
“We came up with the concept a few years ago when my family was repeatedly catching cold and flu viruses from traveling in and out of London and I could see how easy it was to pick up germs especially from using public transport,” said Max. “It was only when the World Health Organization (WHO) began suggesting people avoid touching their eyes, noses and faces to stop the spread of viruses from contaminated surfaces did I realize that it could play a part in slowing the spread of COVID-19.”
Max, who is from Bristol, launched a 60, 000 crowdfunding campaign (众筹活动) on Kickstarter earlier this week to further his project and turn the prototype into a public reality. “The main task of this project is not to make money, but to get it onto the wrists of those it can help keep safe. Any profits made from early sales through the crowdfunding site will be reinvested into providing free devices for organizations that help people such as National Health Service(NHS) staff and nursing homes.”
24. Why did Max develop the Vybpro
A. To protect people against COVID-19.
B. To prevent the spread of the cold and flu.
C. To test position-sending technology.
D. To monitor people’s health.
25. What does the underlined word “contaminated” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Dangerous. B. Polluted.
C. Smooth. D. Rough.
26. What did Max start the crowdfunding campaign for
A. Raising money for nursing homes. B. Helping to advance his project.
C. Providing free devices for NHS. D. Making a better type of Vybpro.
27. What can we learn from Max’s story
A. Hard work pays off. B. Little people can make a big difference.
C. Ups and downs make one strong. D. Technology changes our lives.
C
Sugar cane（甘蔗）contains around 10% sugar. But that means it contains around 90% non-sugar—the material known as bagasse （甘蔗渣）which remains once the sugar-bearing juice is squeezed out. World production of cane sugar was 185 million tonnes in 2017 , which results in a lot of bagasse.
At the moment, most of it is burned. But Zhu Hongli, a mechanical engineer at Northeastern University, in Boston, thinks it can be put into better use. As she, and her colleagues describe, in Matter this week, with a bit of improving bagasse makes an excellent and biodegradable （可生 物降解的）replacement for the plastic used for disposable food containers such as coffee cups.
Dr. Zhu is not the first person to have this idea. But previous attempts tended not to survive contact with liquids. She knew from previous research that the main reason why past efforts fell to pieces when wet is that bagasse is composed of short fibres which are unable to hold the finished product. She therefore sought' to insert a suitably long-fibred substance.
Bamboo seemed to be the best choice. It grows quickly /degrades readily and has appropriately long fibres. And it worked. When the researchers blended bamboo remaining into bagasse, they found that the result had a strong crossing of short and long fibres.
To put their new material through its paces, Dr. Zhu and her colleagues first poured hot oil onto it and found that, rather than passing through the material, as it would have with previous, bagasse products, the oil was resisted by their invention.
They also found that when they made a cup out of the stuff and filled it with water heated almost to boiling point, the cup remained unbroken for more than two hours. Though this is not as long as a plastic cup would Hast, it-is long enough for all practical purposes.
28. What do we know about bagasse
A. It is widely used. B. It is usually wasted.
C. It can not be degraded. D. It takes up 10% of sugar cane.
29. Why do the previous attempts fail
A. The cups are not disposable. B. The fibres of bagasse are short.
C. The plastic can not be replaced. D. The material is not biodegradable.
30. What is special about Zhu's invention
A. It can let oil pass through. B. It can be boiled in the water.
C. It can hold liquid and resist heat. D. It can reduce the use of bamboo.
31. What would be the best title for the text
A. New Bamboo Containers B. A New Application of Fibres
C. Young and Promising Materials D. A Perfect Mix of Cane and Bamboo
D
The thought of low material need and being unwilling to work, marry and have children, is described as a “lying down” lifestyle recently. It creates an emotional reaction among many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly competitive society.
Many young people complained to the Global Times that duties, including work stress, family argument and financial pressure, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷)”, joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get stuck in an endless competition against peers(同龄人).
“Instead of always following the ‘good quality’ of struggle and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary(暂时的) lying down as release and adjustment,” said an expert. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of young people, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, admit that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel ashamed about their constant loss of morale (士气).
“Young people have both ambition and confusion about their future, but most of us have refused to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
32. Which of the following is NOT a “lying down” lifestyle according to the passage
A. Being uninterested in material enjoyment and refusing to shoulder duties.
B. Being involved in various social activities.
C. Stopping to breathe in a stressful life.
D. Giving up struggle and sacrifice.
33. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Poor health from working so hard. B. Increasing material wealth from families.
C. Growing pressure from family and social life. D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
34. What’s the expert’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A. Understanding. B. opposed C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
35. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A They would rather escape than take challenges. B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach. D. They never really drop their responsibilities.

W: Since I was very shy, my mom put me in acting classes to help me get over my shyness. I tried it and then realized that I have no talent for acting. Well, I say I am still shy. I don’t tend to go up and introduce myself to others. But at work I’m not shy at all, because I know everyone there.
M: What do you like doing when you are free
W: I like watching sports games. Actually, I am a great sportswoman. I do a lot of skiing and skating during the winter and I play baseball in spring. I also play table tennis. But I think swimming is my favorite sport.

Max, a 15-year-old boy, produced the Vybpro, a wearable wristband which warns users whenever they are about to touch their faces. The gesture has been recognized as one of the key ways that COVID-19 can be spread, making it a potentially life-saving invention.
He first hit on the excellent idea two years ago for the purpose of reducing the spread of the cold and flu. After both of Max’s parents were infected with COVID-19 four months ago, however, he put in all his effort to develop a working prototype (模型).
Worn on both wrists, the intelligent device is expected to sell for 89. It uses position-sending technology algorithms (算法) to tell between predicted face touching and other hand motions. Then the device warns users of hand gestures that are dangerously near the face.
“We came up with the concept a few years ago when my family was repeatedly catching cold and flu viruses from traveling in and out of London and I could see how easy it was to pick up germs especially from using public transport,” said Max. “It was only when the World Health Organization (WHO) began suggesting people avoid touching their eyes, noses and faces to stop the spread of viruses from contaminated surfaces did I realize that it could play a part in slowing the spread of COVID-19.”
Max, who is from Bristol, launched a 60, 000 crowdfunding campaign (众筹活动) on Kickstarter earlier this week to further his project and turn the prototype into a public reality. “The main task of this project is not to make money, but to get it onto the wrists of those it can help keep safe. Any profits made from early sales through the crowdfunding site will be reinvested into providing free devices for organizations that help people such as National Health Service(NHS) staff and nursing homes.”
24. Why did Max develop the Vybpro
A. To protect people against COVID-19.
B. To prevent the spread of the cold and flu.
C. To test position-sending technology.
D. To monitor people’s health.
25. What does the underlined word “contaminated” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Dangerous. B. Polluted.
C. Smooth. D. Rough.
26. What did Max start the crowdfunding campaign for
A. Raising money for nursing homes. B. Helping to advance his project.
C. Providing free devices for NHS. D. Making a better type of Vybpro.
27. What can we learn from Max’s story
A. Hard work pays off. B. Little people can make a big difference.
C. Ups and downs make one strong. D. Technology changes our lives.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了15岁的男孩Max发明了一款名为Vybpro的可穿戴腕带，该设备可以帮助减缓COVID-19的传播。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Max, a 15-year-old boy, produced the Vybpro, a wearable wristband which warns users whenever they are about to touch their faces. The gesture has been recognized as one of the key ways that COVID-19 can be spread, making it a potentially life-saving invention. (15岁的男孩Max发明了一款名为Vybpro的可穿戴腕带，当用户要触碰自己的脸时，它会发出警告。这一动作被认为是COVID-19传播的关键方式之一，使其成为一项有可能拯救生命的发明)”可知，Max要开发Vybpro是想保护人们免受COVID-19的侵袭。故选A项。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中“It was only when the World Health Organization (WHO) began suggesting people avoid touching their eyes, noses and faces to stop the spread of viruses from contaminated surfaces did I realize that it could play a part in slowing the spread of COVID-19.(直到世界卫生组织开始建议人们避免触摸自己的眼睛、鼻子和脸，以阻止病毒从contaminated表面传播时，我才意识到，这可以在减缓COVID-19的传播方面发挥作用)”可知，污染过的表面才可能会携带有病毒，因此猜测划线词contaminated意为“受污染的”。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Max, who is from Bristol, launched a 60, 000 crowdfunding campaign (众筹活动) on Kickstarter earlier this week to further his project and turn the prototype into a public reality. (Max来自布里斯托尔，本周早些时候，他在Kickstarter网站上发起了一项6万英镑的众筹活动，以进一步推进他的项目，并将模型变成公众现实)”可知，Max发起众筹的目的是帮助推进他的项目。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Max, a 15-year-old boy, produced the Vybpro, a wearable wristband which warns users whenever they are about to touch their faces. (15岁的男孩Max发明了一款名为Vybpro的可穿戴腕带，当用户要触碰自己的脸时，它会发出警告)”和最后一段中“Any profits made from early sales through the crowdfunding site will be reinvested into providing free devices for organizations that help people such as National Health Service(NHS) staff and nursing homes.(通过该众筹网站早期销售的所有利润都将用于再投资，为一些组织提供免费设备，帮助像国民健康服务员工和养老院等人)”可推知，小人物可以带来巨大的影响。故选B项。
C
Sugar cane（甘蔗）contains around 10% sugar. But that means it contains around 90% non-sugar—the material known as bagasse （甘蔗渣）which remains once the sugar-bearing juice is squeezed out. World production of cane sugar was 185 million tonnes in 2017 , which results in a lot of bagasse.
At the moment, most of it is burned. But Zhu Hongli, a mechanical engineer at Northeastern University, in Boston, thinks it can be put into better use. As she, and her colleagues describe, in Matter this week, with a bit of improving bagasse makes an excellent and biodegradable （可生 物降解的）replacement for the plastic used for disposable food containers such as coffee cups.
Dr. Zhu is not the first person to have this idea. But previous attempts tended not to survive contact with liquids. She knew from previous research that the main reason why past efforts fell to pieces when wet is that bagasse is composed of short fibres which are unable to hold the finished product. She therefore sought' to insert a suitably long-fibred substance.
Bamboo seemed to be the best choice. It grows quickly /degrades readily and has appropriately long fibres. And it worked. When the researchers blended bamboo remaining into bagasse, they found that the result had a strong crossing of short and long fibres.
To put their new material through its paces, Dr. Zhu and her colleagues first poured hot oil onto it and found that, rather than passing through the material, as it would have with previous, bagasse products, the oil was resisted by their invention.
They also found that when they made a cup out of the stuff and filled it with water heated almost to boiling point, the cup remained unbroken for more than two hours. Though this is not as long as a plastic cup would Hast, it-is long enough for all practical purposes.
28. What do we know about bagasse
A. It is widely used. B. It is usually wasted.
C. It can not be degraded. D. It takes up 10% of sugar cane.
29. Why do the previous attempts fail
A. The cups are not disposable. B. The fibres of bagasse are short.
C. The plastic can not be replaced. D. The material is not biodegradable.
30. What is special about Zhu's invention
A. It can let oil pass through. B. It can be boiled in the water.
C. It can hold liquid and resist heat. D. It can reduce the use of bamboo.
31. What would be the best title for the text
A. New Bamboo Containers B. A New Application of Fibres
C. Young and Promising Materials D. A Perfect Mix of Cane and Bamboo
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了甘蔗渣占甘蔗的90%，目前被浪费很多。研究者发现，经过改善甘蔗渣可以被用于制作杯子，以减少环境污染。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“At the moment, most of it is burned. ”（目前，大部分的甘蔗渣都被烧毁了。）可知，甘蔗渣大部分被浪费掉了。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段以三句“She knew from previous research that the main reason why past efforts fell to pieces when wet is that bagasse is composed of short fibres which are unable to hold the finished product. ”（她从以前的研究中了解到，过去的努力失败的主要原因是甘蔗渣是由短纤维组成的，无法承载成品。）可知，以前的试验失败是由于蔗渣的纤维很短。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第二句“They also found that when they made a cup out of the stuff and filled it with water heated almost to boiling point, the cup remained unbroken for more than two hours. ”（他们还发现，当他们用这种材料制成杯子，并将其装满加热到几乎沸点的水时，杯子可以保持两个多小时不破裂。）可知，朱红丽的发明特殊之处在于它能盛装液体并耐热。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文以甘蔗渣的浪费为开头，后面几段都是在讲朱红丽团队如何研究并巧妙利用甘蔗渣结合竹子的长纤维发明出可盛装液体并耐热的杯子。故选D项。

The thought of low material need and being unwilling to work, marry and have children, is described as a “lying down” lifestyle recently. It creates an emotional reaction among many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly competitive society.
Many young people complained to the Global Times that duties, including work stress, family argument and financial pressure, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷)”, joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get stuck in an endless competition against peers(同龄人).
“Instead of always following the ‘good quality’ of struggle and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary(暂时的) lying down as release and adjustment,” said an expert. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of young people, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, admit that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel ashamed about their constant loss of morale (士气).
“Young people have both ambition and confusion about their future, but most of us have refused to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
32. Which of the following is NOT a “lying down” lifestyle according to the passage
A. Being uninterested in material enjoyment and refusing to shoulder duties.
B. Being involved in various social activities.
C. Stopping to breathe in a stressful life.
D. Giving up struggle and sacrifice.
33. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young
A. Poor health from working so hard. B. Increasing material wealth from families.
C. Growing pressure from family and social life. D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
34. What’s the expert’s attitude toward the “lying down” group
A. Understanding. B. opposed C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
35. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text
A. They would rather escape than take challenges. B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach. D. They never really drop their responsibilities.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。在这个快节奏、竞争激烈的社会中，许多年轻人渴望暂时停下来喘口气，因此他们选择“躺平”，他们不愿总是遵循奋斗、忍受和牺牲的美德来承受压力。但他们大多数人都不想浪费了机会和挑战，也不会真正放下自己的责任。
【32题详解】
细节理解题．根据第一段第一句“The thought of low material need and being unwilling to work, marry and have children, is described as a “lying down” lifestyle recently. (低物质欲望，低消费，拒绝工作，结婚和生育的观念，被描述成“躺平”的生活方式)”可知，B. Being involved in various social activities. (积极参与各种社会活动)不属于“躺平”的生活方式．故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Many young people complained to the Global Times that duties, including work stress, family argument and financial pressure, have pushed them ‘against the wall ’(许多年轻人向《环球时报》抱怨，工作压力、家庭纠纷和经济压力等负担把他们逼到了绝境)”可知，来自家庭和社会生活的日益增长的压力可能是致使年轻人“躺平”的生活方式的原因，故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead of always following the ‘good quality’ of struggle and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary(暂时的) lying down as release and adjustment(他们不喜欢总是遵循“奋斗和牺牲的好品质”来承受压力，而是更喜欢暂时躺着作为释放和调整)”和“It is no wonder that some young people, … would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.(难怪一些年轻人，……会努力过一种简单的生活方式，把烦恼抛在脑后。)”可知，学者对“躺平”群体的态度是理解的，故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Young people have both ambition and confusion about their future, but most of us have refused to waste opportunities and challenges,(年轻人对自己的未来既有野心又有困惑，但我们大多数人都拒绝浪费机会和挑战 )”和“It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later(逃跑没有用。我迟早要站起来面对现实。)”可知，他们从未真正放下自己的责任。故选D。

I am glad to share one of my favourite movie with you. The other day I watch a movie called The Great Wall, which impressed me a lot of and I can’t wait to introduce it to you.
The Great Wall is one of the masterpieces directed by Zhang Yimou, especial with some famous actors like Matt Damon, Andy Lau and Zhang Hanyu in the film. Basing on the earlier Song Dynasty, The Great Wall tells the audiences what people fight against enemies. Actually, it is historical and martial art movie, whose theme is about bravery and justice.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者分享了自己最喜欢的一部电影——《长城》。
【详解】1.考查名词。句意：我很高兴与大家分享我最喜欢一部电影。根据空前的one of可知，空处应使用可数名词复数形式。故将movie改为movies。
2. 考查时态。句意：前几天我看了一部叫《长城》的电影，它给我留下了深刻的印象，我迫不及待地想向你们介绍它。根据The other day可知，句子应使用一般过去时。故将watch改为watched。
3. 考查固定用法。句意：前几天我看了一部叫《长城》的电影，它给我留下了深刻的印象，我迫不及待地想向你们介绍它。a lot为副词，修饰动词impress。a lot of为形容词，修饰名词。故删掉of。
4. 考查副词。句意：前几天我看了一部叫《长城》的电影，它给我留下了深刻的印象，我迫不及待地想向你们介绍它。分析句子可知，空处应使用副词，作状语。故将especial改为especially。
5. 考查非谓语动词。句意：《长城》是张艺谋导演的经典作品之一，特别是影片中的Matt Damon、刘德华和张涵予等著名演员。分析句子可知，由于base与所修饰词The Great Wall之间是被动关系，应使用过去分词。故将Basing改为Based。
6. 考查宾语从句引导词。句意：《长城》以宋代早期为基础，向观众讲述了人们如何与敌人作战。分析句子可知，应使用how引导宾语从句，并在从句中作状语。故将what改为how。
7. 考查冠词。句意：其实，它是一部历史武侠电影，其主题是勇敢与正义。movie为可数名词，其前应加不定冠词，表泛指。由于historical为辅音音素开头，故加a。故在is后加a。
8. 考查系动词。句意：就我个人而言，电影中的图片和特技效果都很棒，故事也很有趣。the pictures and special effects为复数概念，其后系动词应使用are。故将is改为are。
9. 考查固定用法。句意：它是如此的精彩，值得一看。so+形容词+that，表示“如此，以至于”。故将such改为so。
10. 考查代词。句意：我希望你也能喜欢。结合句意可知，此处指代《长城》这部电影，为单数概念。故将them改为it。
