Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Since 1991, a ceremony presenting an award called Ig Nobel Prize would be held in September before the authentic Nobel Prize ceremony every year. It honors unusual scientific research. The standard is “make people laugh and then think”．
It's not hard to understand the first half of the standard when seeing the award winning research.
Medicine Prize
One study firstly looked at the pain of hearing chewing sounds seriously but not as complaints from picky people. This symptom was diagnosed as misophonia(恐音症). This study also paid attention to people who can't stand the sounds of keyboard typing and heavy breathing.
Ornitholog Prize
One study was considerate enough to care about whether woodpeckers(啄木鸟)would have headache after they bang their heads against trees.
Apart from the research, the prize ceremony also has many aspects worth laughing.
Event
The tradition of throwing paper airplanes to the stage.
Staff
Sweepers—responsible for cleaning the paper airplanes.
Human spotlights—responsible for lighting up speakers with a flashlight and their shining bodies.
Miss Sweetie Poo, an eight year old girl—responsible for stopping long speeches by saying “Please stop. I'm bored”．
But there are important research processes and findings behind the unusual topics. Apart from diagnosing misophonia, the research team also studied the treatment of it. The study on the woodpeckers' heads was helpful to the prevention of head injury. One study found that playing an Australian instrument called didgeridoo could treat snoring(打鼾).
So Ig Nobel Prize is not an ignoble version of the Nobel Prize. The prize is very meaningful as it shows people science can be funny and down to earth．
1．What is sweepers' duty on the ceremony
A．Lighting up speakers.
B．Cleaning the paper airplanes.
C．Preventing long speeches.
D．Hosting the ceremony.
2．What does the underlined word “down to earth” in the last Paragraph probably mean
A．Traditional. B．Challenging.
C．Universal. D．Practical.
3．What do we know about the Ig Nobel Prize
A．It focuses on unusual topics.
B．It has a history of fifty years.
C．It is held annually in spring.
D．It offers grand prizes to winners.
B
The first day of the month of May is known as May Day. It is the time of the year when warmer weather begins. People celebrate the coming of summer with customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter. Today, May Day activities have been moved to the May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. It is a public holiday when families take advantage of the time off to visit some of the UK's many attractions, including parks, zoos, historic buildings, ancient towns and villages and beautiful countryside.
May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festival of Flora, the goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. People would decorate their houses and villages with leaves and flowers they picked at daybreak in the belief that the vegetation spirits would bring good luck. In the very early morning, young girls went into the fields and washed their faces with dew(露水). They believed this made them very beautiful for the following year.
May Day was an important day in the Middle Ages and was a favorite holiday of many English villages. People of the time used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. This is the origin of the maypole(五月柱). People danced around them in celebration of the end of winter. Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next. The tallest maypole is said to have been put up in London on the Strand in 1661. It stood more than 143 feet high and was cut down in 1717, when it was used by Newton to support a new reflecting telescope.
4．How do British people celebrate May Day
A．They visit friends and family members.
B．They spend a lot of time shopping around.
C．They show great love for the long winter.
D．They celebrate it on the first Monday of May.
5．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Going into the fields.
B．Picking flowers at daybreak.
C．Washing the face with dew.
D．Getting up early in the morning.
6．What can we learn about the maypole
A．People climb it on May Day.
B．It dates back to the Middle Ages.
C．It was usually found in the cities.
D．People used old, tall trees to make it.
7．What's the purpose of the text
A．To describe Roman customs.
B．To introduce a British festival.
C．To suggest spring family activities.
D．To explain the origins of maypoles.

1．答案与解析：B 根据上文“The United Nations believes about 17 percent of the world's food goes to waste each year from homes, stores and food companies.”可知，每年世界上大约17%的食物被家庭、商店和食品公司浪费，B项“这相当于9.31亿吨粮食”正好对应17%这个数据，B项中的that即是指代上文提到的这一内容，符合文意，故选B项。
2．答案与解析：C 结合空前表述可知，贫穷国家也会存在食物浪费的情况。C项“如果没有冷藏库，那里的食物会变坏”中的there便是指代上句中的“贫穷国家的冷藏库”，同时表述内容一致，故选C项。
3．答案与解析：G 结合空后一句“When people buy too much food, they do not always use it before it goes bad.(当人们买了太多的食物时，他们并不总是在食物变坏之前使用它们)”可推知，商店降价促销是人们会买太多食物的一种诱因。这与G项的表述一致，故选G项。
4．答案与解析：E 结合空前内容“Also, the writing on food containers can be hard to understand. In some cases, the producers put a date that shows when the food will be best to eat. (此外，食品容器上的文字也很难理解。在某些情况下，生产者会标明食物最适合食用的日期)”可知，此处是在描述有关食物商品的保质期问题，与此相关的是E项“有时，保质期过后的几天，食物仍然是好的”，符合上下文语境内容，故选E项。

DearMark，
Howiseverythinggoing I will tell you something about the trip to Beijing I went on with my parents recently. It was great! We visited many famous tourist spots, such as the Palace Museum, the Great Wall, the Bird 's Nest, the Water Cube, and so on.
What attracted me most were the Palace Museum and the Great Wall. The Palace Museum is also called the Forbidden City, with many treasures in the palace that stand for great Chinese culture. As a famous wonder of the world, the Great Wall is made of millions of bricks, each of which is very big and heavy. It still remains a mystery how the ancient people built it.
I really enjoy the trip to Beijing. I do hope you can come to China and see some of them one day.
Yours,
LiHua

Choosing the most beautiful ski resort in the Alps is like picking the prettiest diamond. With white peaks and sparkling snow, the following 4 European treasures will spark instant alpine urges.
1. Saas Fee, Switzerland
Unique selling points：High mountain setting, in your face glaciers.
Saas Fee hit the right notes as the setting for Wham's! “Last Christmas” music video in 1984. It's a pleasing Swiss village among glaciers and mountains. Fabled 4, 000 meter peaks such as the Dom, the Taschhorn and the Alphubel dot the skyline.
Worth the trip: For you to rub shoulders with real mountaineers, the Britannia Hutte is a climbers' refuge, just 15 minutes walk from the nearest lift. A simple lunch on its sunny balcony offers grand views.
Britannia Hutte, 3906 Saas Fee, Switzerland; ＋41 27 966 81 00
2. Alpbach, Austria
Unique selling points: Cute houses, the bygone feel.
Alpbach has long known what its best features are and made a point of highlighting them. The medieval village's traditional wooden farmhouses proved to be head turners for early tourists and planners.
Farming is still very much alive here. It has landed the prize as“Austria's most beautiful village”. And the competition for that one is tough.
Worth the trip: Boglalm is an Alpbach favorite, offering authentic local food such as beef soup and grilled sausage.
Boglalm, 6236 Alpbach, Austria; ＋43 5336 5177
3. Megeve, France
Unique selling points: Mont Blanc views, stylish center, scent of pine.
Megeve muscles into the list by virtue of its location, with close up views of Mont Blanc, Western Europe's highest peak. The town was one of the first purpose built resorts in the Alps. Cruising the wonderfully wooded lower slopes fills your nostrils with the pleasant scent of pine.
Worth the trip: Foodies are spoiled for choice in Megeve, especially in three Michelin starred Flocons de Sel.
Flocons de Sel, 1775 Route du Leutaz, 74120 Megeve, France; ＋33 027 967 25 52
4. Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy

Just two hours north of Venice, Cortina d'Ampezzo is in a UNESCO World Natural Heritage region. Cortina hosted the Winter Olympics in 1956 and was the setting for a certain James Bond film.

[2022·河北衡水模拟]Before the print was brought to England in 1476, everything was written by hand. The few people who knew how to write were trained in schools set up by the church. Those who made a living by writing for other people were called scribes.
The work of scribes was not easy. Much of it had to be done fast in order to meet the needs of the King, the church and traders. Most of the writing was in Latin, but some of it was in English of the day. No one was quite sure how some English words should be spelled.
One problem was that several letters were written with short vertical stroke that all looked like each other. Among them were the letters “i”“u”“v”“m” and “n”. Thus, five straight lines in a row might stand for “uni” “nui” “uvi” or “mii”. As a result, reading was sometimes difficult, especially when the writing was done in a hurry.
The scribes solved the problem in part, by changing the letter “u” to “o” when it came before “m” “n” or “v”. This is how “sum” and “cum” became to be written as “some” and “come”．
At some point too, the scribes seemed to have decided that no English word should be ended by “u” or “v”. Thus, in time an “e” was added to such words as “live” “have” “due” and “true”. It was added, but not pronounced.
4．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．Everything has been written by hand in English since 1476.
B．More than 500 years ago no one made a living by writing for other people.
C．The church set up schools to train scribes before 1476.
D．Scribes in England worked only for kings and traders.
5．Sometimes people couldn't read easily ________．
A．because there were too many “u” and “v” in some English words
B．because most of the writing was in Latin
C．when the writing was in English
D．when the writing was done hurriedly
6．Why did the scribes change “u” before “m” to “o”？
A．Because the change helped them write faster.
B．Because the change made reading easier.
C．Because “um” and “om” had the same pronunciation.
D．Because “om” was the right order.
7．It is believed that some scribes thought________．
A．it important to add an “e” to every English word
B．the letter “e” at the end of any word shouldn't be pronounced
C．it natural to change the spelling of some Latin words
D．an English word should be ended neither by “u” nor by “v”
Ⅱ.语法填空
The China Laos Railway, 1.________ connects Kunming in southwest China's Yunnan Province with the Laotian capital, Vientiane, 2.________ (start) operation on Dec 3. 2021. The 1，035 kilometer long railway is a landmark project and an important part of the Pan Asian railway network. It will not only benefit the two peoples, but also 3.________ (significant)improve regional connectivity.

It has long been a dream for the Lao people to see their country change from a land locked country 5.________ a “land linked one”， and the opening of the new railway is a big step toward turning 6.________ (they) dream into reality.

2．答案与解析：started 考查动词的时态。句意见上一题。分析句子结构可知，句中缺少谓语动词，时间状语为on Dec 3. 2021，故谓语动词start用一般过去时，故填started。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
English kids talk about Liverpool's soccer team in a Paris pub. Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London. In the 19th century, Dickens compared the two great rival cities, London and Paris, in ATaleofTwoCities. These days, it might be A Tale of One City.
As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, many Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours.
Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But you might get more fun in London until the pubs shut down. In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.
“Both cities have changed beyond recognition.” said Larry, a writer and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably. “I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place，” Collins said. “But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.” But certainly not cheaper. In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.
Many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose. “I love Paris, my little neighborhood, but life is so structured，” she said. “In London, you can be who you want. No one cares.”
1．What's the best title for the passage
A．Londoners and Parisians
B．A Modern Tale of Two Cities
C．The Similarity of Two Cities
D．Fancy London and Fashionable Paris
2．What can we infer from the text
A．Paris and London have become perfect partners.
B．London offers more fun.
C．Life in Paris is structured.
D．Paris and London have become fierce competitors.
3．What does the underlined word “flocked” probably mean
A．Came in large numbers.
B．Flew a long way.
C．Rushed hurriedly.
D．Drove long distances.
4．Living in Paris, you may find ________ .
A．life is better
B．things are cheaper
C．more attractive people
D．a job easily

The Lesson in Design
It was Friday afternoon. On the way home from school, Andy studied the fabrics(面料) and colors of the other students' clothes. Everyone wore the same basic outfit jeans and some sort of shirt. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing attractive or stylish. Being from a family of tailors(裁缝), Andy had learned how to make and change clothes over years. But he wanted to be more than just a tailor.
When Andy arrived at his father's tailor shop, he watched his father—pins(大头针)in his mouth, measuring tape hanged around his neck—expertly repair pants. Andy's father always said, “Often, when people look better, they act better too.” That was exactly the reason why Andy longed to create something of his own, something different, something exceptional.
“Andy, there's something I want to give you.” Andy's father peered over his eyeglasses and asked Andy to follow him to the back room. On the corner of a large worktable sat a heavy sewing machine(缝纫机), an old model that looked very different from the modern one Andy's father used. “I was your age when my father gave this to me, and now I'm giving it to you.” Andy eyed the old machine appreciatively. “Thank you, Dad. This is perfect！”
Andy wanted to use the sewing machine right away to realize his dream—an outstanding outfit. First he drew a design that was stylish yet original and then he paid a visit to the fabric store to select the perfect fabrics for his creation. Andy began working that same night, losing himself in lines and folds, ripping out stitches(缝线)and redoing them. It took over a week, but after multiple fittings and adjustments, his outfit was ready for its first appearance.

【语篇解读】 狄更斯的《双城记》，让我们看到了伦敦和巴黎两个城市的动荡和故事，那么现在这两个城市之间又上演着怎样的故事呢？本文给出了答案。
1．答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。根据第一段导入中的最后一句话“These days, it might be A Tale of One City.”(如今，这或许是关于一个城市的故事了。)以及下文对两个城市之间密切交流与关联的描述，确定文章的主旨为介绍两个城市现代的故事，故B项正确。
2．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据第二段“many Frenchmen moved across the Channel”(很多法国人去伦敦工作)，第三段“Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.”(伦敦人到巴黎去购物，吃，买房子)以及第四段“the two now fit together comfortably”(两个城市舒适地融合在了一起) 可以推断出两个城市现在是密切的伙伴关系。故答案为A。
3．答案与解析：A 词义猜测题。根据上下文，两个城市的交流越来越多，随着欧盟逐渐放宽限制，越来越多的伦敦人到巴黎去。故答案为A。
4．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句话“In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.”(在伦敦较好的地段，租金是巴黎的弗什大道的两倍。)可以看出，伦敦的消费比巴黎的高，反之，巴黎的消费比伦敦低，因此答案为B。

OnMondaymorning, Andywalkedintoschoolexpectingtheglowingadmirationofhisfellowstudents. However, as he walked down the hall, many heads turned. Teachers moved aside, guys pointed at him, and girls covered their mouths to hide their laughter. A day full of whispers, jeers, and awkward questions left Andy collapsed in his seat in class. Proud as he was of his creation this morning, he wished he could have a change of his clothes. Once the last bell rang, Andy stormed out of the classroom.
Fullofdisappointmentandanger, herushedhome. Throwing himself into chair, Andy began to cry. “It hasn't been a great day, huh？”Andy's father asked, sitting beside him. “Nobody could understand me！”Andy sobbed, burying his face in his hands. “Well, not all people can appreciate this creation.”Andy's father responded, “As for me, I like your incredible design. Why don't you think of it as your first draft The most famous designers didn't build their clothing kingdom on one outfit—especially their first.” “A first draft...”Andy sniffled, he knew that father always had a point. Eventually, Andy looked up at his father, smiling through tears. Apparently this was the best lesson in design.
