A blind Chinese climber reached the summit (顶点) of Qomolangma, known in the West as Mount Everest, on Monday morning, becoming the first blind person from Asia ever to conquer the world’s highest summit.
Zhang Hong, 46, reached the top from the Nepali side, along with three high-altitude guides.
Zhang, who was born in Chongqing, lost his sight at the age of 21. He now works at Fukang Hospital Affiliated with Tibet University in Lhasa. As Zhang began his climb of Qomolangma, which is 8,848. 86 meters above sea level, his colleagues in Lhasa were excited to hear the news of his success.
“Many people may have doubted his attempt of climbing at first, but I was confident in him from the beginning,” said Kyila, the secretary of the Fukang Angel Foundation, who also is a blind person. “I knew before that he could make it, and he did make it. I am really happy for him. He is a model for blind people to encourage them to chase their dreams.”
Zhang’s passion for climbing was inspired by Lotse, a famous Tibetan climber who conquered all the world’s 14 summits above the altitude of 8,000 meters. Lotse had shared the story of the blind US mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer, who climbed Qomolangma in May 2001. Zhang was touched by the story, which ignited his dream of climbing.
As an amateur climber for years, Zhang had conquered three mountains above the altitude of 6,000 meters before climbing the world’s highest summit. He had begun preparing for the Qomolangma climb in 2019. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病), all mountaineering teams on Qomolangma were canceled in Nepal and China last year, and he had to wait until recently to finally make the attempt.
4. What can we infer from what Kyila said
A. He had been inspired by Lotse.
B. He had much belief in Zhang’s success.
C. Zhang’s colleagues doubted his motivation.
D. Zhang centered on climbing in his spare time.
5. What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Lighted. B. Accomplished. C. Followed. D. Recalled.
6. Why did Zhang Hong fail to climb Qomolangma in 2020
A. He was too weak. B. He wasn’t well prepared.
C. A pandemic broke out. D. Extreme weather occurred.
7. What’s the best title for the text

C. Qomolangma Attracts More Chinese to Climb
D. A Chinese Climber Got Through the Pandemic

In the digital age, we rely on technology such as social media in trying to build interesting and varied lives. Social networking sites like Facebook are designed and promoted to make us believe enthusiastically that they are able to open up new experiences for us. There are constant notifications (通知) and updates, urging us to check-in to find out what is new.
But if we do not use the technology wisely, we can end up becoming overly attached and trapped in a cycle of social media FOMO, a sign of deeper unhappiness. FOMO, or fear of missing out, is a fear that exciting or interesting events are happening somewhere else and that we are not able to join.
People who experience high levels of FOMO have been found to be more likely to give in to urges to write and check text messages while driving, as well as to use Facebook more often directly after waking, while going to sleep and during meals.
When it comes to lasting happiness, it is best not to give in to FOMO, but rather to deal with the cycle of desires that fuel it. Hard as it is, we are better off working toward facing the fearful reality that we cannot experience everything we might like than to get caught in a cycle of checking behaviors that only cause anxiety.
If we have become used to using social media as part of our attempts at living interesting lives, we must admit that it is not easy to change our approach. But change is almost always worthwhile in the long run.
The fact that FOMO is so common in our digital age is a sign that there is something wrong with the way we are pursuing happiness and that we are not as happy as we might think we are. It should warn us that, in our eagerness to use digital technology to try to make ourselves happier, we may unintentionally (无意之中) be bringing on exactly the opposite result.
8. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The digital age has arrived.
B. Sites give netizens useful experiences.
C. People have fallen into modern technology.
D Social media are designed to attract public attention.
9. Which of the following could be regarded as social media FOMO
A. Failing to use Facebook. B. Answering a call during shopping
C. Reading text messages on reaching offices. D. Checking Facebook while driving.
10. Why does the author suggest avoiding FOMO
A. To gain long-time happiness. B. To speed the cycle of desires.
C. To work much better. D. To reduce fearful reality.
11. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Everybody has experienced FOMO.
B. Digital technology may make us unhappier.
C. Pursuing happiness is a sign of the digital age.
D. People may unintentionally get lost in technology.
D
In WALL-E, a science fiction movie, a little robot is responsible for cleaning a world covered in garbage; a world where there is no longer room for anything else, not even humans! The film encourages common people, worldwide leaders and businessmen to ask the obvious question: What can be done to prevent something like this happening For some, microfactories could become the most promising answer.
Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer in Sydney, Australia, has discovered a solution to the challenging waste problem. Her one-stop approach could go beyond the existing recycling processes. Her waste microfactories mainly target electronic waste and plastic, and are essentially little trash processors. These can transform waste into new materials with the help of thermal(热的) technology.
“Using our green manufacturing technologies, these microfactories can transform waste, enabling local businesses and communities to not only solve local waste problems, but to develop a commercial opportunity from the valuable materials that are created,” she explains.
Humans generate 2.01 billion tons of solid waste annually. And as the fastest growing waste stream, approximately 53.6 million tons of e-waste were generated globally by 2019. Despite current efforts, only 17.4 percent of this is known to have been collected and properly recycled. Meanwhile, worldwide e-waste generation is expected to continue to grow, reaching almost 80 million tons by 2030.
Although the most effective solution to the waste challenges would not generate as much trash, Sahajwalla microfactories provide hope for all the waste that already exists. Her solution not only decreases the amount of waste, but it also improves its management and enables new manufacturing opportunities around the new materials created.
WALL-E shows us the best and the worst of what human beings have to offer. It shows where the world is headed unless the human species slows down and stops developing at the current pace. But it also provides hope, showing that we also have a great power to change and improve.
12. What’s the aim to write the first paragraph
A. To tell us what WALL-E is about. B. To show the wide future of robots.
C. To introduce the use of microfactories. D. To praise Veena Sahajwalla’s contribution
13. What do we know about Veena Sahajwalla
A. She is a top scientist in Australia. B. She has been devoted to garbage factories.
C. Her waste microfactories are practical. D. Her trash processors are being widely promoted.
14. How does the fourth paragraph develop
A. By making contrasts. B. By listing relevant figures.
C. By summarizing the above. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards microfactories
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在数字时代,我们依靠社交媒体等技术来构建有趣多样的生活,这一现象被称为“FOMO”,但事实可能正相反,在我们迫切地使用数字技术试图让自己更快乐的过程中,我们可能无意中带来了恰恰相反的结果,从而让我们不快乐。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Social networking sites like Facebook are designed and promoted to make us believe enthusiastically that they are able to open up new experiences for us. There are constant notifications (通知) and updates, urging us to check-in to find out what is new.(像Facebook这样的社交网站的设计和推广是为了让我们狂热地相信它们能够为我们打开新的体验。这些社交网站上有不断的通知和更新,催促我们打卡,以发现新鲜的事物)”可推知,第一段主要讲,像Facebook这样的社交媒体旨在让我们相信它们能够为我们打开新的体验,从而吸引公众注意。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“People who experience high levels of FOMO have been found to be more likely to give in to urges to write and check text messages while driving, as well as to use Facebook more often directly after waking, while going to sleep and during meals.(研究发现,经历高强度FOMO的人更容易屈服于在开车时收发短信的冲动,也更容易在醒来、睡觉和吃饭时直接使用Facebook)”可知,开车时刷脸书可以视为社交媒体FOMO。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“When it comes to lasting happiness, it is best not to give in to FOMO, but rather to deal with the cycle of desires that fuel it.(说到长久的快乐,最好不要向FOMO屈服,而要处理助长它的欲望循环)”和第六段“The fact that FOMO is so common in our digital age is a sign that there is something wrong with the way we are pursuing happiness and that we are not as happy as we might think we are. (事实上,FOMO在我们的数字时代如此普遍,这表明我们追求幸福的方式出了问题,我们并不像我们想象的那样幸福)”可推知,作者建议避免FOMO是因为避免FOMO才能获得长久的快乐。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The fact that FOMO is so common in our digital age is a sign that there is something wrong with the way we are pursuing happiness and that we are not as happy as we might think we are. It should warn us that, in our eagerness to use digital technology to try to make ourselves happier, we may unintentionally (无意之中) be bringing on exactly the opposite result.(事实上,FOMO在我们的数字时代如此普遍,这表明我们追求幸福的方式出了问题,我们并不像我们想象的那样幸福。它应该提醒我们,在我们急切地使用数字技术试图让自己更快乐的过程中,我们可能无意中带来了恰恰相反的结果)”可推知,与我们认为的相反,数字技术可能会让我们不快乐。故选B项。

In WALL-E, a science fiction movie, a little robot is responsible for cleaning a world covered in garbage; a world where there is no longer room for anything else, not even humans! The film encourages common people, worldwide leaders and businessmen to ask the obvious question: What can be done to prevent something like this happening For some, microfactories could become the most promising answer.
Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer in Sydney, Australia, has discovered a solution to the challenging waste problem. Her one-stop approach could go beyond the existing recycling processes. Her waste microfactories mainly target electronic waste and plastic, and are essentially little trash processors. These can transform waste into new materials with the help of thermal(热的) technology.
“Using our green manufacturing technologies, these microfactories can transform waste, enabling local businesses and communities to not only solve local waste problems, but to develop a commercial opportunity from the valuable materials that are created,” she explains.
Humans generate 2.01 billion tons of solid waste annually. And as the fastest growing waste stream, approximately 53.6 million tons of e-waste were generated globally by 2019. Despite current efforts, only 17.4 percent of this is known to have been collected and properly recycled. Meanwhile, worldwide e-waste generation is expected to continue to grow, reaching almost 80 million tons by 2030.
Although the most effective solution to the waste challenges would not generate as much trash, Sahajwalla microfactories provide hope for all the waste that already exists. Her solution not only decreases the amount of waste, but it also improves its management and enables new manufacturing opportunities around the new materials created.
WALL-E shows us the best and the worst of what human beings have to offer. It shows where the world is headed unless the human species slows down and stops developing at the current pace. But it also provides hope, showing that we also have a great power to change and improve.
12. What’s the aim to write the first paragraph
A. To tell us what WALL-E is about. B. To show the wide future of robots.
C. To introduce the use of microfactories. D. To praise Veena Sahajwalla’s contribution
13. What do we know about Veena Sahajwalla
A. She is a top scientist in Australia. B. She has been devoted to garbage factories.
C. Her waste microfactories are practical. D. Her trash processors are being widely promoted.
14. How does the fourth paragraph develop
A. By making contrasts. B. By listing relevant figures.
C. By summarizing the above. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards microfactories
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种垃圾微型工厂,可以解决大量垃圾问题,介绍了这一机器的优点和其开发者Veena Sahajwalla对其的看法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段三、四句话“The film encourages common people, worldwide leaders and businessmen to ask the obvious question: What can be done to prevent something like this happening For some, microfactories could become the most promising answer.(这部电影鼓励普通人、世界各国领导人和商人提出一个显而易见问题:如何才能防止类似的事情发生?对一些人来说,微型工厂可能成为最有希望的答案)”结合下文对微型工厂的介绍推知,写第一段的目的是为了介绍微型工厂的使用。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句话“Her waste microfactories mainly target electronic waste and plastic, and are essentially little trash processors. These can transform waste into new materials with the help of thermal(热的) technology.(她的废物微型工厂主要针对电子废物和塑料,基本上是小型垃圾处理厂。这些可以在热技术的帮助下将废物转化为新材料)”以及第三段““Using our green manufacturing technologies, these microfactories can transform waste, enabling local businesses and communities to not only solve local waste problems, but to develop a commercial opportunity from the valuable materials that are created,” she explains.(她解释说:“利用我们的绿色制造技术,这些微型工厂可以转化废物,使当地企业和社区不仅能够解决当地的废物问题,而且能够利用所创造的宝贵材料创造商业机会。”)”可知,Veena Sahajwalla所开发的处理垃圾的微型工厂是非常实用的。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Humans generate 2.01 billion tons of solid waste annually. And as the fastest growing waste stream, approximately 53.6 million tons of e-waste were generated globally by 2019. Despite current efforts, only 17.4 percent of this is known to have been collected and properly recycled. Meanwhile, worldwide e-waste generation is expected to continue to grow, reaching almost 80 million tons by 2030.(人类每年产生20.1亿吨固体废物。作为增长最快的废物流,到2019年,全球产生约5360万吨电子垃圾。尽管目前做出了努力,但已知只有17.4%的垃圾被收集并妥善回收。与此同时,全球电子垃圾产生量预计将继续增长,到2030年将达到近8000万吨)”推知,本段用列举相关数据的方式展开陈述。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句话“But it also provides hope, showing that we also have a great power to change and improve.(但它也带来了希望,表明我们也有巨大的力量来改变和改进)”可知,作者对于微型工厂持积极的态度。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现在孩子在户外玩耍的时间越来越少,但是户外玩耍对孩子来说是有好处的,无论是父母带着孩子在外面玩或者让孩子自己自由地玩耍都对孩子的成长有好处。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:孩子们呆在室内的时间越来越长。空处作定语,修饰名词amount(数量),应用形容词increasing,表示“不断增加的”。故填increasing。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我们的祖父母把大部分空闲时间都花在探索户外世界,与他们相比,现在你更有可能发现孩子们呆在家里。分析句子结构可知,空处是非谓语动词做状语,动词compare(比较)的逻辑主语是主句主语kids(孩子们),且二者之间构成被动关系,所以此处应用compare的过去分词形式compared,单词位于句首,首字母大写。故填Compared。
【43题详解】
考查语态。句意:我们的祖父母把大部分空闲时间都花在探索户外世界,与他们相比,现在你更有可能发现孩子们呆在家里。be likely to do sth.是固定搭配,表示“有可能做某事”,且此处动词find(发现)与主语kids之间为被动关系,由前面的不定式符号to可知,此处应用be found。故填be found。
【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:由于父母的担心和绿色空间的减少,现在往往是父母带着孩子在户外玩。thanks to是固定搭配,表示“多亏、由于”,单词位于句首,首字母大写。故填Thanks。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:由于父母的担心和绿色空间的减少,现在往往是父母带着孩子在户外玩。分析句子结构可知,这里是限定性定语从句,先行词是time(时间),指物,在定语从句中做主语,应用关系代词that或which引导定语从句。故填that/which。
【46题详解】
考查形容词。句意:父母带着孩子玩耍和孩子自由地玩耍有很大的不同,且这两种玩耍也无法带来同样的好处。be different from是固定搭配,表示“与……不同”。故填different。
【47题详解】
考查时态与主谓一致。句意:两者对孩子的成长都很重要,但许多家庭发现孩子自由玩耍的时间减少了。句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,且分析句子结构可知,空处作谓语,句子的主语是Both(二者),是复数,所以谓语动词应用are。故填are。
【48题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:对孩子的成长来说,无拘无束的玩耍和户外玩耍一样重要。as+形容词+as,是固定搭配,表示“和……一样”。故填as。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意:对孩子的成长来说,无拘无束的玩耍和户外玩耍一样重要。根据介词for可知,空处应用名词作宾语,develop为动词,名词为development,意为“发展”,且development为不可数名词。故填development。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它带来了社交,精神和身体上的好处,同时也是消磨时间的有趣方式。句中way是名词,表示“方式”,是可数名词,此处表示“一种有趣的方式”,是单数,所以用不定冠词,且fun(有趣的)发音不是以元音音素开头,应用a而非an。故填a。

A professor gave a balloon to every student, which had to fill it, write their own name on it and threw it in the hallway. The professor then mixed all the balloon. The students were giving 5 minutes to get back their own balloon. Despite a busy search for, no one found their own balloon.
At that point the professor told the students to take first balloon that they found and hand them to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The professor said to the students, “These balloons are like happy. We will never find it if everyone keep looking for their own. But if we care about other people’s, we’ll find ours either.”

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。 文章讲述了一个教授通过两个活动,让学生在一地气球中找到写有自己名字的气球,和拿到第一个气球就直接交给气球上的名字的人,进行了“如何寻找到自己的幸福”的人生启迪。
【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意:一位教授给每个学生发了一个气球,让他们把气球充满气,在上面写上自己的名字,然后把气球扔到走廊上。根据句子结构可知,every student为先行词,先行词为人,作非限定性定语从句的主语,只能用who。故将which改为who。
2.考查动词。句意:一位教授给每个学生发了一个气球,让他们把气球充满气,在上面写上自己的名字,然后把气球扔到走廊上。根据句子结构,定语从句中谓语had to后接三个并列的动词,用动词原形,have to do。故将threw改为throw。
3.考查名词复数。句意:然后教授把所有的气球混在一起。balloon为可数名词,根据all作前置定语,名词用复数形式。故将balloon改为balloons。
4.考查语态。句意:学生们被给5分钟的时间拿回自己的气球。句子谓语give与主语The students之间为被动关系,应用被动语态。故将giving改为given。
5.考查介词。句意:尽管忙着寻找,但没有一个人找到自己的气球。根据句子结构,despite是介词,后接名词a search,search后没有后置定语,不必加介词。故删去for。
6.考查序数词。句意:这时,教授告诉学生们,拿着他们找到的第一个气球,把它交给气球上有写有名字的那个人。序数词first修饰名词balloon,序数词前应加定冠词the,特指“第一个气球”。故在first前加the。
7.考查代词。句意:这时,教授告诉学生们,拿着他们找到的第一个气球,把它交给气球上有写有名字的那个人。根据句意可知,前面提到the first balloon,为单数形式,所以这里,把第一个气球交给气球上有写他的名字的那个人,这个气球用it来替代。故将them改为it。
8.考查名词。句意:这些气球就像幸福。根据句子结构,are为系动词,后跟介词短语,作表语。介词like后应用名词。故将happy改为happiness。
9.考查主谓一致。句意:如果每个人都在寻找自己的幸福,我们永远也找不到它。根据句子结构,主句将来时,条件状语从句用一般现在时。从句中主语everyone为单数,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故将keep改为keeps。
10.考查副词。句意:但如果我们在乎别人的(幸福),我们也会找到自己的(幸福)。此处需用副词“也”,句子为肯定的陈述句,应用too。故将either改为too。
