第一节
A篇
本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四门国内外知名大学或机构提供的在线课程。
21. A 细节理解题。根据The Path to Happiness部分中的“Ancient Chinese philosophy”以及“The philosophical theories of Confucius ... Han Feizi”可知，这门课程能满足对中国哲学感兴趣的人的需要。故选A。
22. D 细节理解题。根据题干中的“Mandarin Chinese for Business”可定位至最后一门课程的介绍中。根据“Level: Intermediate (中级的)”可知，这门课程不适合初学中文的人。故选D。
23. A 目的意图题。根据第一段的内容及下文对四门课程的介绍可知，作者写本文是为了介绍一些在线课程。故选A。
B篇
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了面包店老板Bill为帮助高中毕业生纪念毕业和提高他们对家乡的认同感，在新冠疫情期间加班赶制并以成本价出售蛋糕的故事。
24. D 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Bill knew that kids didn’t always see what was special about their hometown, which was part of why he wanted to bake cakes for the high school seniors.”可知，Bill知晓孩子们并不总能看到自己家乡的特别之处，这也是他想为高中毕业班学生烤蛋糕的原因之一。由此可推知，Bill认为孩子们缺乏对自己家乡的认同感，所以他发起了这个毕业蛋糕计划。故选D。
25. C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“To his surprise, donations rolled in alongside orders.”及最后一段第二句“After adding up all the donations, Bill realized he’d broken exactly even at $15 a cake.”可知，令Bill惊奇的是，捐款和订单滚滚而来。在合计了所有的捐款之后，Bill意识到他的确以每个蛋糕15美元的价格实现了收支平衡。故选C。
26. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容，尤其是第二句中的“Bill realized he’d broken exactly even at $ 15 a cake”及最后一句“Bill said happily, ‘That’s the icing on the cake.’”可知，Bill实现了收支平衡。他开心地说道：“这简直是锦上添花。”由此可推知，对Bill来说，这项计划的结果是一个愉快的惊喜。故选B。
27. A 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了面包店老板Bill为帮助高中毕业生提高对家乡的认同感，在新冠疫情期间加班赶制并以成本价出售蛋糕的故事。由此可推知，Bill是一位有社会责任感的商人。故选A。
C篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了随着埃及城市化以及海平面的上升，埃及正面临着耕地减少的危机。
28. B 指代判断题。根据第二段第一句中的“Just 4% of Egypt’s land is suitable for agriculture, and that number is reducing quickly”和倒数第二句“Satellite data shows that Egypt is losing about 2% of its farmland per decade due to urbanization, and the process is speeding.”可知，埃及仅有4%的土地适合耕种，而且这一数字正在迅速减少。卫星数据显示，由于城市化，埃及每十年就会失去大约2%的耕地，并且这个过程正在加快。结合画线词所在句可知，毫不夸张地说，这是一个危机。由此可推知，“this”指的是耕地的减少。故选B。
29. A 细节理解题。根据第三段内容尤其是第一、二句“Urbanization isn’t the only factor to reduce Egypt’s farmland. Sea level rise of 1.6 millimeters per year has contributed to the salinization (盐碱化) of farmland in Egypt.”可知，城市化并不是造成埃及耕地减少的唯一因素。每年海平面上升1.6毫米导致埃及土地盐碱化。由此可知，导致耕地减少的主要因素有两个：城市化和海平面上升。故选A。
30. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“It is certainly possible to establish new farmland from the desert by tapping groundwater resources, though it’s a little expensive process”可知，通过利用地下水资源在沙漠中建立新的耕地是完全有可能的，虽然这是一个有点昂贵的过程。由此可推知，Badreldin对于建立新的耕地持乐观的态度。故选B。
31. D 标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了随着埃及城市化以及海平面的上升，埃及正面临着耕地减少的危机。D项准确概括文章内容，是本文的最佳标题。故选D。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国海南通过修筑空中桥梁来保护长臂猿。
32. A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“home to the world’s 30 remaining Hainan gibbons (长臂猿)”和第二段中的“the extremely rare species”可知，目前世界上仅存30只海南长臂猿，它们是极其稀有的物种。由此可知，海南长臂猿严重濒危。故选A。
33. D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Bosco Chan ... species’ habitat into different islands”可知，Bosco Chan注意到，不断的使用正在导致树叶磨损并向下弯曲，威胁到长臂猿的生存，把它们的栖息地分隔开。由此可推知，Bosco Chan担心长臂猿的栖息地可能会被破坏。故选D。
34. D 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“They hired professional tree climbers”及画线词后的“and get over the steep landform to fix a simple bridge”可知，画线词所在句表示他们雇用了专业的爬树者来应对和克服陡峭的地形以修建一座简单的桥。画线词的含义应是“处理，解决”，D项的含义与之相近。故选D。
35. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容，尤其是“many are small, one-off projects ... may not be applicable to another”可知，许多空中桥梁是由当地组织甚至个人开展的小型的一次性项目，很少或根本没有对项目的有效性进行科学研究。此外，一个物种或栖息地的解决方案可能不适用于另一个物种或栖息地。由此可知，本段主要谈论的是空中桥梁的局限性。故选B。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们对于教授学生急救知识的不同看法和教授学生急救知识的途径。
36. B 考查逻辑关系。根据上文“In a recent Health and Safety Laboratory report, 97% of respondents rated providing pupils with an appreciation of health and safety risks as important or very important.”可知，在最近的一份健康和安全实验室报告中，97%的受访者认为让学生了解健康和安全风险是非常重要的；根据下文“Despite this, first aid in schools is still not as high up the agenda as it should be.”可知，尽管如此，学校的急救（教学）仍然没有像它理应的那样被提上（教学）日程。B项“73%的学生希望学习如何进行急救”承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
37. D 考查主旨句。根据下文“It can equip them with skills to be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.”可知，它可以让他们具备关乎生死的技能。D项“将急救培训的范围扩大到学生之中，教会他们照顾他人”统领本段，符合语境。故选D。
38. F 考查逻辑关系。根据上文“Research by St John Ambulance showed that 94 per cent of teachers believed first aid lessons in school would help teach young people to be more responsible.”可知，St John Ambulance进行的研究表明，94%的教师认为校园急救课程会有助于使年轻人更有责任感；根据下文“However, there are resources available for teachers that will help them teach pupils first aid at a relatively low cost.”可知，然而，对教师来说，有一些可用的资源能够帮助他们以相对较低的成本教授学生们急救知识。F项“然而，三分之一的教师说，费用是教授急救知识的最大阻碍”承上启下，符合语境。故选F。
39. G 考查逻辑关系。根据上文“For example, packages can be purchased for pre-school for a minimal cost.”可知，例如，可以以最低的成本购买学前教育急救包。G项“任何兼有教学和急救资格的人都可以使用这些急救包”承接上文，符合语境。故选G。
40. C 考查逻辑关系。根据下文“These specialists give students a grounding on how to manage an incident and the most commonly needed first aid skills.”可知，这些专家为学生们提供了如何处理（突发）事故的基础知识，以及最必要的急救技能。C项“学校还可以安排专业的培训师来授课”引出下文，符合语境。故选C。

55. D 考查形容词。句意：Priscilla不仅在恰当的时间出现在恰当的地方，而且在一个充满挑战和压力的情况下，她还保持了清醒的头脑。根据“challenging”以及上文可知，当时的情况非常有挑战性，让救助者会感觉到巨大的压力。regretful“后悔的”；annoying“恼人的”；impossible“不可能的”；stressful“有压力的”。故选D。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国科学家在分析中国西北地区的化石时发现的两个恐龙新物种的相关情况。

62. which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是“Silutitan sinensis”，指物，所以应用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
63. the 考查冠词。根据语境可知，此处特指“titan”这个单词在希腊语中的意思，应用定冠词the修饰。故填the。
64. largest 考查形容词的最高级。根据空前的“the”并结合语境可知，此处指地球上现存的体积最大的动物，应用形容词的最高级形式。故填largest。

第四部分 写作
第一节 应用文
参考范文：
Dear Miss Evans,
I’m writing to ask you to give me a hand in solving a problem that has been bothering me.
I’ll soon graduate from my senior high school. I wish to apply for a university in China, but my parents insist on my applying for a foreign university, saying it can’t just develop my ability to live independently but be good for my career path as well. No matter what I said they wouldn’t agree with me.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice. I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写
参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
Hearing this, Wally felt deeply sorry for them. And then, there was a long pause, long enough to make the audience a bit tense with embarrassment. Miss Lambard thought he forgot the lines and whispered from the wings, “No! Go away!” “No!” Wally repeated automatically, “Go away!” Joseph sadly placed his arm around Mary and the two of them started to move away. However, Wally, the doorman of the hotel, did not close the door. Instead, Wally stood there in the doorway, watching the poor couple. His mouth was open, his face covered with concern, his eyes filling unmistakably with tears.
Paragraph 2:
And suddenly this Christmas show became different from the designed ending. “Don’t go, Joseph,” Wally called out. “Bring Mary back.” And Wally’s face grew into a bright smile. “You can have my room.” The audience were shocked to hear these words. Some people in town thought that the show had been ruined. However, some people burst into cheers. They clapped for Wally’s kindness and considered it one of the most wonderful Christmas shows they had ever seen.

M: Good, I’ll send some e-mails before leaving.
Text 2
M: If you want a soft sleeper, it will cost $470; if you want a hard seat, it will only cost $210. That will save you $260.
W: I can’t possibly travel on a hard seat for 10 hours! It’ll be too uncomfortable.
Text 3
W: Morning Jack. Oh, what’s wrong with you You look so pale.
M: I stayed all night to finish the new project our boss ordered.
W: My goodness. It needs at least two days!
Text 4
W: Did you buy all of those vegetables at the store

Text 5
M: Where do you live, Serena
W: I live in an apartment downtown.

W: Not much. But there is a lot of traffic. I can’t stand the noise sometimes!
Text 6
M: Isn’t your birthday soon, Alice
W: Yes, it’s next week.

W: Yes, but my birthday was two days earlier.
M: It was a great party. Are you having one again this year
W: No, I won’t. It took a long time to clean up afterwards. Hardly anyone stayed to help! It was not fun!
Text 7
W: How did your team perform in the baseball match over the weekend
M: Our finance team made it all the way to the finals by beating the marketing team and then played the sales team in the finals. If it weren’t for John, our best player, leaving the game because of an arm injury, we could have won the game. By the way, why didn’t your team compete
W: Oh, our new manager Susan is not a very big fan of baseball. She thinks that it’s a waste of time spending our weekends playing sports.

Text 9
W: Hey, are you busy lately
M: Yes, I’m sorting through my notes. They’re a mess.
W: Why not try the Cornell Notes system
M: Cornell Notes
W: Yeah. It’s a method of organizing notes as you take them. You divide the paper into two sections: the note-taking section on the left and the key questions and words section on the right. You make the note-taking section twice the size of the key words section, and then you also leave two inches blank at the bottom of the page — about five to seven lines in a standard notebook.
M: So then how do you take notes
W: Well, like usual, you note down the main ideas of the text or speech, but you avoid long ideas and sentences and use symbols instead. Then, to help with future review, you write any related questions on the left.
M: OK, that sounds logical. What then
W: Then, within 24 hours of taking the notes, you write a summary at the bottom five to seven lines of the page. This helps you increase your understanding of the topic.
M: I see. That sounds like a great method. I will try it next semester, but now I’ll just have to use the notes I have and get ready for the final exams.
Text 10
W: Hi everyone. I’d like to welcome you aboard our train trip through high desert scenery. Our trip today lasts one and a half hours and the train climbs uphill for the first forty-five minutes and then makes its way down to a town called Oldsville. In the twentieth century, oil was discovered here and an important industry developed. It didn’t last long, however, and tourism is the biggest industry these days. There’s a lot to see in the town. On the journey you won’t see any animals during the daytime because it’s too hot, but you should look out for beautiful desert plants right next to the track, although at this height there are no trees.
At one point, we go over an old wooden bridge. People get worried because it’s noisy, but it’s quite safe. There’s no river under the bridge, but you can see some large colorful rocks — they’re fantastic. We don’t make any stops on the trip because all the stations were closed long ago. At the far end of our train there’s a small store selling souvenirs that you can’t buy anywhere else. The other things which we sell during your ride are drinks. Unfortunately, the machine selling there is broken, so once we’re underway I’ll be walking down the train with everything in a basket. So stop me if you want anything.绝密★启用前

Employees working around the clock, cake pans shipped overnight from the supplier. For six weeks, Bill Hanisch of Hanisch Bakery in Red Wing, Minnesota, pulled out all the stops for high school seniors.
When COVID-19 shut down schools in Red Wing, seniors missed major important events. Bill realized they’d miss out on in-person graduation too. “Graduation is the final vital moment of watching these kids grow up through school,” he said. “It’s even more important in smaller communities like Red Wing.”
Bill knew that kids didn’t always see what was special about their hometown, which was part of why he wanted to bake cakes for the high school seniors. “I’m hoping that at their 10-year or even 25-year reunion, they’ll think it was pretty special,” Bill said.
After receiving calls from parents and school administrators, Bill sat down to do the math. He usually sells cakes for $28 a pop to turn a profit but figured he could break even (收支平衡) selling graduation cakes for $15. He posted on Facebook that he would love to give cakes to graduating seniors in all the towns but couldn’t do it financially with the pandemic (流行病).
To his surprise, donations rolled in alongside orders. What began as an idea to celebrate the seniors of Red Wing quickly grew into a race to bake and deliver 1,200 cakes to 15 towns. Hanisch Bakery got to work. On May 19, Hanisch Bakery delivered its first round of cakes, to the happy graduates at Kenyon. Then May 20, another school delivery. May 22, two more schools. After that, the daily deliveries didn’t stop until June 11, the end of graduation season.
With the graduation season finally over, Bill looked over the numbers to survey the damage. After adding up all the donations, Bill realized he’d broken exactly even at $15 a cake. Did it keep Hanisch Bakery going through such hard times Bill said happily, “That’s the icing on the cake.”

In ancient Egypt, the rich soils along the Nile River supported roughly 3 million people. Now there are 30 times that number of people living in Egypt, with the Egyptian population soaring from 45 million in the 1980s to over 100 million now.
Just 4% of Egypt’s land is suitable for agriculture, and that number is reducing quickly due to the urban and suburban development. “It’s not an overstatement to say that this is a crisis,” said Nasem Badreldin, an expert at the University of Manitoba. “Satellite data shows that Egypt is losing about 2% of its farmland per decade due to urbanization, and the process is speeding. If this continues, Egypt will face serious food security problems.” According to one analysis, the amount of farmland near Alexandria dropped by 11% between 1987 and 2019, while urban areas increased by 11%. In recent years, the Egyptian government has promised to end unlicensed building on farmland, which remains a difficult task to fulfill.
Urbanization isn’t the only factor to reduce Egypt’s farmland. Sea level rise of 1.6 millimeters per year has contributed to the salinization (盐碱化) of farmland in Egypt. About 15% of Egypt’s richest farmland has already been damaged by sea level rise and saltwater intrusion (侵入). One response to the loss of farmland has included efforts to green parts of the desert. For instance, Farouk El-Baz, Boston University scientist, has planned to build highways, railways, water pipelines, and power lines to promote the establishment of new farmland in deserts west of the delta.
While that project hasn’t been finished, much of desert has turned into farmland in recent decades. The satellite photos show new farmland along the Cairo Highway. A mixture of center-pivot irrigation (灌溉) and drip irrigation makes farming in this area possible. “It is certainly possible to establish new farmland from the desert by tapping groundwater resources, though it’s a little expensive process,” said Badreldin.
28. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The urban expansion. B. The reduction of farmland.
C. The suburban development. D. The growth of population.
29. How many factors are mentioned that have caused the loss of farmland
A. Two. B. Three.
C. Four. D. Five.
30. What is Badreldin’s attitude to the establishment of new farmland
A. Uncertain. B. Optimistic.
C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned.
31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Food Security Problems in Egypt
B. Urbanization Along the Nile River
C. Agricultural Development Along the Nile River
D. Egypt’s Disappearing Farmland

Super Typhoon Rammasun swept over Hainan, China, destroying at least 23,000 houses and causing $2 billion in damage. It was not just people who experienced the impact, though. In Hainan Bawangling National Nature Reserve, home to the world’s 30 remaining Hainan gibbons (长臂猿), landslides tore through sections of the forest. The gibbons, a species living in trees, were forced to jump across a distance of up to 50 feet to get from one area to another.
The gibbons sometimes would break their fall only by managing to catch hold of the tip of a particular palm leaf. As months passed, Bosco Chan at the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden in Hong Kong noticed that constant use caused the leaf to wear and bend downward, threatening to lead to the gibbons crashing down and breaking the extremely rare species’ habitat into different islands. “It’s really a matter of concern. Moreover, I didn’t know how long the leaf would be able to hold the gibbons,” he says. “I thought it was time for us to build something.”
As recently described in Scientific Reports, Bosco Chan and his colleagues turned to aerial (空中的) bridges. They hired professional tree climbers to confront and get over the steep landform to fix a simple bridge, consisting of two parallel mountaineering-grade ropes. It took the gibbons over five months to catch on, but once they learned to use the ropes, they started regularly using them to make safe, quick crossings.
Till now, aerial bridges have been used in other countries to help a diversity of animals ranging from squirrels to capuchin monkeys. But many are small, one-off projects carried out by local organizations or even individuals, with little or no scientific study of what does or does not work. In addition, a solution for one species or habitat may not be applicable to another.
32. What can be learned about Hainan gibbons
A. They are severely endangered.
B. They mainly feed on palm leaves.
C. They are good at long-distance jumping.
D. They suffer a slight reduction in population.
33. What makes Bosco Chan worried about the gibbons
A. Their weak link with nature.
B. Their fear of jumps between trees.
C. Their survival affected by typhoons.
D. Their habitats’ likely being damaged.
34. Which can best explain the underlined word “confront” in paragraph 3
A. Make use of. B. Get rid of.
C. Take down. D. Deal with.
35. Which aspect of aerial bridges does the last paragraph talk about
A. Their importance. B. Their limitations.
C. Their potential uses. D. Their long-term effects.

In a recent Health and Safety Laboratory report, 97% of respondents rated providing pupils with an appreciation of health and safety risks as important or very important. 36 . Despite this, first aid in schools is still not as high up the agenda as it should be.
37 . It can equip them with skills to be the difference between a life lost and a life saved. Research by St John Ambulance showed that 94 per cent of teachers believed first aid lessons in schools would help teach young people to be more responsible. 38 .
However, there are resources available for teachers that will help them teach pupils first aid at a relatively low cost. For example, packages can be purchased for pre-school for a minimal cost. 39 . By ensuring that training is as interactive as possible, and taking into consideration all learning styles, schools can help to encourage first aid knowledge from an early age so that pupils feel inspired to be the difference.
40 , such as our own Young First Aider pack. It is designed to provide an introduction to first aid and fits into many subjects of the national curriculum. These specialists give students a grounding on how to manage an incident and the most commonly needed first aid skills.

What’s better than a giant, plant-eating dinosaur Two dinosaurs, of course. Scientists in China 56 (discover) two new dinosaur species when 57 (analyze) fossils from the country’s northwest regions. Their findings, published in a study in Scientific Reports, conclude that two of the kinds were from 58 (previous) unknown species. “The dinosaurs are some of the first kind 59 (report) in the region, increasing the diversity of the dinosaurs as well as the
60 (inform) on Chinese sauropods (蜥脚类恐龙),” according to the study.
Scientists estimate the species lived around 120 to 130 million years ago, during the early Cretaceous period (白垩纪). Both were sauropods, a category of plant-eating dinosaurs with long
61 (neck). Scientists named the species Silutitan sinensis (中国丝路巨龙), 62 is Chinese for “Silk Road” and Hamititan xinjiangensis (新疆哈密巨龙), because the fossil specimen was found in Xinjiang.
You may have noticed that both names have the word “titan” in them, 63 Greek meaning for “giant” — that’s because researchers estimate that the Silutitan species could have been over 70 feet long, while the Hamititan species could have grown to be 56 feet long. For comparison, the 64 (large) animal living on Earth today — the blue whale — can range
65 seventy-five to one hundred feet.

For many years, whenever Christmas shows are talked about in our town, someone is sure to mention the name of Wally Purling. Wally’s performance in one annual Christmas show has become a legend. But the old-timers who were in the audience that night never tire of recalling exactly what happened.
Wally was nine that year. He was big and clumsy, slow in movement and mind. Still, Wally was well liked by the other children in his class because he was always a helpful, kind and smiling boy and a natural protector of the underdog (弱者). Sometimes if the older boys chased the younger ones away, it would always be Wally who’d say, “Can’t they stay They’re no bother.”
That Christmas, it was Wally’s class to put on a classic play about a poor couple Joseph and Mary. In the play, there is a scene where the couple are turned down when checking in at a hotel with a rude doorman. The play’s director, Miss Lambard, assigned Wally to play the role of the doorman. After all, she reasoned, the role of the doorman in the play did not have too many lines and Wally’s size would make his refusal of lodging (借住) to the couple more forceful.
The big day came and the audience gathered for the town’s yearly show. Wally stood in the wings and watched the performance with such fascination that from time to time Miss Lambard had to make sure he did not wander onstage before his turn. Miss Lambard told Wally she would remind him of the lines if he forgot.
Then the time came when Joseph appeared, slowly, tenderly guiding Mary to the door of the hotel. Joseph knocked hard on the wooden door. Wally, the doorman of the hotel, was there waiting.
“What do you want ” Wally said, swinging the door open with a rude gesture.
“We seek lodging.”
“Seek it elsewhere. The hotel is filled.”
“Please, this is my wife, Mary. She is heavy with child and needs a place to rest. She is so tired.”
