A
Qatar, a tiny Middle East country, almost entirely surrounded by the turquoise warm waters, offers plenty of beaches to enjoy a refreshing dip. From family-friendly sands to an emerging kitesurfing destination, get ready to dive in.
Katara Beach
If you want to swim in the ocean but don’t want to adventure beyond the capital of Doha, Katara Beach is the place to go. It is a pleasant sandy stretch with lounge chairs, shaded areas ideal for sheltering kids from the hot sun, water sports ground and a wide children’s play area. With food vans and restaurants just steps from the sand, you don’t need to go far to find lunch.
Fuwairit Beach
The soft white sands of Fuwairit Beach on Qatar’s northeast coast, about an hour’s drive north of Doha, are surrounded by shallow, crystal-blue waters appropriate for diving. The kitesurfing season runs from January to June, and with a kitesurfing resort due to open in late 2022 on this undeveloped beach, it’ll be easier than ever to arrange relevant lessons and transport.
AI Shamal Beach
For constant views of the sun setting over the ocean, head to Qatar’s north coast. The super shallow and rocky beaches up here aren’t the best for swimming, but when the sun goes down, AI Shamal Beach is a fine spot to take in the scenery. You’ll find public bathrooms and seats along the Corniche. Several simple dining options can be found in the neighboring villages.
Simaisma Beach
North of Doha, Simaisma Beach is Qatar’s most developed public beach after Katara Beach, with plenty of family-friendly facilities. With calm, shallow waters and mangroves to explore at the northern end of the beach, it’s great for kids, but the soft, muddy sand may be imperfect for building sandcastles.
1．What can visitors do on Fuwairit Beach at present
A．Dive in the shallow sea. B．Participate in surf courses.
C．Fly kites along the coast. D．Sunbathe on a lounge chair.
2．What kind of people does AI Shamal Beach attract most
A．Rock-climbing athlete. B．Environment protector.
C．Professor of astronomy. D．Amateur photographer.
3．What do Katara Beach and Simaisma Beach have in common
A．They both provide lunch convenient to get. B．They both welcome households with children.
C．They both have special water sports venues. D．They are both suitable for outdoor adventure.
B
When I was a child, my grandmother often said interpersonal communication mattered. She backed that up with her own behavior, and she invested her time and energy in interacting with people. When she walked down the street, she spoke to everyone, whether an elderly or a child, speaking whether English or Spanish.
However, as she aged, she noticed that most people wouldn’t have time for communication that’s longer than a 160-character text message, much less time to develop genuine friendships that last decades. In fact, people are barely speaking to one another nowadays. As much as I hate to admit it, I have noticed it too.
My grandmother opened my mind to having a pen pal on the other side of the world. It all started in 2013 when I was at University of Southern California. I met with Kerstin Zilm, a German radio personality who wanted to interview me about being a student struggling financially. I didn’t know much about German culture or the German audience who would listen to the show, but I agreed to do so. I had internalized(使内在化)my grandmother’s concept and I felt this was another way of communication and that speaking about my story was better than keeping it to myself. You never knew who could learn from your life experiences.
After the story aired, a woman named Renate reached out to Kerstin, inquiring how she could find me and help me financially with college. I was grateful, but my pride didn’t allow me to accept the money.
However, I didn’t let the opening halt. Encouraged by Kerstin, I emailed Renate back, thanking her for her kindness. This was the beginning of a beautiful intercontinental friend-ship. From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. And whenever I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual hugs at the moments when I needed them most. Though I have never met her in person, she is one of the most important people in my life.

A．She made lots of foreign friends.
B．She valued family relationships.
C．She liked to wander on the streets.
D．She kept bonding with other people.
5．What does the author think of the people today
A．They show little respect to the elderly.
B．They look forward to having a pen pal.
C．They have limited communication with others.
D．They like chatting through long text messages.
6．What made the author decide to accept the interview
A．Her grandmother’s wisdom.
B．Her pen pal’s encouragement.
C．Her poverty-stricken situation.
D．Her curiosity about German culture.
7．What does the underlined word “halt”in the last paragraph mean
A．Continue. B．Appear. C．Extend. D．Stop.
C
Last year, more than 130 million tons of single-use plastics were thrown away. Now, a new report finds that just 20 companies produced more than half of all single-use plastic waste worldwide.
The report, published Tuesday by Australia’s Mindoro Foundation, offers one of the fullest accounting of the companies behind the production of single-use plastics that researchers believe could account for as much as 10% of global greenhouse emissions by 2050. The study has further identified 20 companies as the source of 55% of the world’s single-use plastic waste in 2020, while the top 100 companies account for more than 90%.
The report also has studied the money invested (投资) in the production of single-use plastics. It finds that 20 biggest investors hold shares worth close to $ 300 billion in the single-use plastic producers. The top three investors are US-based Vanguard Group, Black Rock and Capital Group, which according to the report have an estimated $ 6 billion invested in the production of single-use plastics.
Since most plastic is made from oil and gas, the production and consumption of plastic is becoming a significant driver of the climate crisis. The report warns that in the next five years, the global capacity to produce the materials needed for single-use plastics could grow by more than 30%. And much of the resulting single-use plastic waste will end up as pollution in developing countries with poor plastic waste management systems, according to the report.
Solving the issue will require serious changes from producers, investors and banks, the authors write. The report says that producers of polymers—known as the building blocks of plastics—should begin disclosing their single-use plastic waste “footprint”, while banks and investors should entirely stop their financing, in stages, that goes toward the production of single-use plastics. In addition, search for more environment-friendly materials should be encouraged.
8．How much single-use plastic waste was produced by the top 20 companies in 2020
A．About 13 million tons. B．About 65 million tons.
C．About 71.5 million tons. D．About 117 million tons.
9．Where are the top three investors from
A．China. B．The UK. C．Australia. D．The US.
10．What does the fourth paragraph focus on
A．The causes of the global warming.
B．The potential harmful effects of plastic.
C．The materials used to produce plastic.
D．The fast growth of the plastic waste.
11．Which measure is mentioned to reduce the plastic waste
A．Plastic producers should pay for the waste.
B．Plastic waste can be exported to poor countries.
C．The production of single-use plastics should be stopped now.
D．More efforts are needed to replace plastics with other materials.
D
Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way panies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.
12．As for driverless cars, what is the author’s major concern
A．Safety. B．Side effects. C．Affordability. D．Management.
13．According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can ________.
A．help deal with transportation-related problems B．provide better services to customers
C．cause damage to our environment D．make some people lose jobs
14．What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Employed. B．Replaced. C．Shared. D．Reduced.
15．What is the author’s attitude to the future of self-driving cars
A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.
（二）七选五
If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood. ____16____ Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. ____17____ And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.
And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s “king”. Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.
____18____Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. ____19____ This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. The war was so influential that “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” has become a metaphor(隐喻) referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. ____20____
A．Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines.
B．During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.
C．It is called “the Chu River and the Han Boundary” .
D．The game is called Xiangqi, a game of ordinary people.
E．There are many differences between Xiangqi and Western chess.
F．An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.
G．Several sayings related to Xiangqi are in common use in China today.

With the pandemic under control, China’s film industry is thriving. And it’s doing so without any help from Hollywood.
The country’s box office ____21____ $775 million over the lasts Lunar New Year weekend - its most ever for a single weekend. Much of that was due to Detective Chinatown 3, a heist comedy made in China, which grossed $424 million ____22____. That was the biggest opening of all time for a film in a ____23____ market. Avengers: Endgame only made $357 million during its opening weekend in the US in April 2019.
These massive figures prove the movie business in China is well on its way to ____24____. Since China began allowing foreign films into the country in 1994, films produced outside of China routinely accounted for more than 40% of the ____25____ of the Chinese box office. Hollywood is ____26____ for about a third of the highest-grossing films in China of all time.
But, even before the Covid-19 pandemic, China’s homegrown film industry was growing and depending less and less on Hollywood movies.
As recently as 2017, films produced outside China ____27____ 46% of the country’s box office revenue. In 2020, with Hollywood all but shutdown, foreign films accounted for just 16% of Chinese box office revenue.
The first few months of 2021 suggest that ____28____ could continue. Most big-budget Hollywood films have been ____29____ until later this year - and yet China’s theaters clearly don’t need any of them to have their own success. China’s huge weekend at the box office came even though most of its theaters are still operating at 75% ____30____. Its impressive totals, ____31____, may have been helped by the country’s travel restrictions, which kept consumers at home over the holiday.
China first accepted Hollywood films into its country to boost its own film ambitions, hoping the rising ____32____ created by the US film industry’s funding and expertise could lift all boats. Chinese consumers responded in kind, turning out in droves for films from blockbuster Hollywood franchises like Fast & Furious.
In 2012, China expanded the quota of foreign films allowed into the country to 34 per year. That agreement expired in 2017, and still hasn’t been renewed. With relations between the US and China ____33____ - and China improving its own ability to produce blockbuster films - China is in no rush to codify a new pact.
If the recent box-office returns are any ____34____, Chinese audiences are increasingly becoming accustomed to a movie selection that is entirely Chinese. That China’s box office recovered from the pandemic is a ____35____ sign for the US when its theaters return to some semblance of normal operation later this year. But that China’s box office did this without Hollywood’s assistance is a far more ominous sign for the long term future of the US film industry.

四、读后续写
46．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
John could not shut out his wife’s complaint anymore. He was tired of hearing her laughing at him, for example, what a bad husband he was. Mary was never satisfied with anything that he did. If he brought home $ 4,000, she would tell him stories of how much her colleagues’ husbands earned. If he had bought her flowers, she would still complain about how other people received diamonds instead. She was impossible to please.
He decided to take a walk along the quiet banks of the lake. It was always a good way to calm down himself after an argument with his wife. As he walked towards the bus stop, he thought over his life. Sometimes, he wondered that it must be a mistake for him when he married Mary. Perhaps, they had been happy in the early days, but those days were definitely behind them now.
As he approached the bus stop, he spotted a white basket on the seat. Curiosity caught him, so he walked closer to take a look. To his surprise, it was a baby all wrapped up in a rough white towel. As he reached out to touch the baby, it suddenly stretched out to try to hold his fingers. John was amused. As he laughed with happiness at the beautiful face of the baby, waves of being gentle washed over him. What a beautiful baby! He wondered who could have the heart to abandon (抛弃) such a joy.
Suddenly, John picked up the basket and ran quickly to the police post just some distance away. He reported finding the baby and, when it was discovered that no one had come to report a missing baby, he was asked to keep the baby for the time being. Although doubtful at the beginning, the policeman soon gave in to John’s obvious honesty. Somehow, John knew that Mary would welcome this baby into their childless marriage.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
True enough, she got over her complaint and started to smile at the baby.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Weeks later the baby was returned to its parents.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了中国的象棋。
16．上文“If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood.(如果你在夏天去几乎任何一个中国城市旅行，你都会看到人们，大多是穿着T恤衫的男人，坐在阴凉处的矮椅子上，在人行道上用大圆木盘玩游戏。)”描述了玩游戏的景象，说明这种游戏在中国非常普及和受欢迎，下文“Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. (象棋的历史可以追溯到战国时期。)”介绍象棋可以追溯到战国时代，D项“The game is called Xiangqi, a game of ordinary people.(这个游戏叫象棋，一个普通人的游戏)”承接上文，指出这个游戏就是象棋，“the game”指代上文的“playing a game with large round disks of wood”，“a game of ordinary people”呼应上文句子所描写的场景，下文进一步介绍象棋，选项中的“Xiangqi”与下文的“Xiangqi”一致，所以D选项符合逻辑关系。故选D。
17．上文“Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China.(象棋的历史可以追溯到战国。虽然专家们对象棋的创造者以及它与西洋象棋的联系有不同的看法，但毫无疑问，到了唐代，象棋在中国已经成为一种流行的游戏。)”介绍象棋在中国历史悠久，很受欢迎。下文“And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.(在20世纪，孙中山和周恩来都是象棋的忠实粉丝。)”介绍了近代象棋在中国的受欢迎程度，根据上下文可知此段按照时间顺序介绍了象棋在中国的发展，所以空处应该按照时间介绍唐朝之后的一个时期象棋的发展情形。B项“During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.(在清朝，它的流行程度越来越高。)”符合时间逻辑关系，选项中的“its popularity grew”顺承上文的“by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game ”。故选B。
18．上一段“And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s ‘king’. Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.(尽管象棋看起来与西方国际象棋有很大的不同，但在棋子的功能和游戏方式方面，象棋实际上非常相似。就像西洋象棋，游戏的目标是抓住其他玩家的‘王’。其实，在象棋里他只是个将军。)”说明了中国象棋与西方象棋的相似之处，由下文“Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. (西洋象棋和象棋的另一个很大的不同是，棋盘中间有一个很大的空地，象不能越过的。)”可知设空处应该阐述西洋象棋和象棋的一个不同之处，A选项“Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines.(与西方国际象棋不同的是，棋子不是放在方格里，而是放在线的交叉点上。)”符合语意。故选A。
19．上文“Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. (象棋和西洋象棋的另一大区别是棋盘中间有一大块空白，象无法通过。)”提到中国象棋中有个空间是象不能越过的；下文“This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. (这个空间指的是中国的一个地区，刘邦和项羽在那里进行了一场生死战)”提到这个空间就是刘邦和项羽打生死战的地方，所以空处应是对这个空间进行定义，C项“It is called ‘the Chu River and the Han Boundary’.(它被称为‘楚河汉界’。)”符合逻辑，选项中的代词“it”指代上文的“a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross.”，下文对选项中的“the Chu River and the Han Boundary”进行进一步的说明。故选C。
20．上文“The war was so influential that ‘the Chu River and the Han Boundary’ has become a metaphor(隐喻)referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. (这场战争的影响是如此之大，以至于“楚汉边界”已经成为一个隐喻，指的是两个敌对军队之间的任何边界。当今天的中国人看到这个名字在棋盘时，战斗的画面浮现在他们的脑海中，仿佛被浓烟包围，能够听到战鼓的敲击声。)”提到楚河汉界是一种隐喻，下象棋时棋盘也是个战场，人们看到这个名字就好像沉浸在硝烟四起、战鼓喧天的战争场面。F选项“An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.(一场激烈的战斗即将在这个小棋盘上进行)”承接上文，符合逻辑，选项中的“An intense battle”与上文中的“the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums.”表达的意思一致，“on this small chessboard”与上文中的“on the board”一致。故选F。

Qatar, a tiny Middle East country, almost entirely surrounded by the turquoise warm waters, offers plenty of beaches to enjoy a refreshing dip. From family-friendly sands to an emerging kitesurfing destination, get ready to dive in.
Katara Beach
If you want to swim in the ocean but don’t want to adventure beyond the capital of Doha, Katara Beach is the place to go. It is a pleasant sandy stretch with lounge chairs, shaded areas ideal for sheltering kids from the hot sun, water sports ground and a wide children’s play area. With food vans and restaurants just steps from the sand, you don’t need to go far to find lunch.
Fuwairit Beach
The soft white sands of Fuwairit Beach on Qatar’s northeast coast, about an hour’s drive north of Doha, are surrounded by shallow, crystal-blue waters appropriate for diving. The kitesurfing season runs from January to June, and with a kitesurfing resort due to open in late 2022 on this undeveloped beach, it’ll be easier than ever to arrange relevant lessons and transport.
AI Shamal Beach
For constant views of the sun setting over the ocean, head to Qatar’s north coast. The super shallow and rocky beaches up here aren’t the best for swimming, but when the sun goes down, AI Shamal Beach is a fine spot to take in the scenery. You’ll find public bathrooms and seats along the Corniche. Several simple dining options can be found in the neighboring villages.
Simaisma Beach
North of Doha, Simaisma Beach is Qatar’s most developed public beach after Katara Beach, with plenty of family-friendly facilities. With calm, shallow waters and mangroves to explore at the northern end of the beach, it’s great for kids, but the soft, muddy sand may be imperfect for building sandcastles.
1．What can visitors do on Fuwairit Beach at present
A．Dive in the shallow sea. B．Participate in surf courses.
C．Fly kites along the coast. D．Sunbathe on a lounge chair.
2．What kind of people does AI Shamal Beach attract most
A．Rock-climbing athlete. B．Environment protector.
C．Professor of astronomy. D．Amateur photographer.
3．What do Katara Beach and Simaisma Beach have in common
A．They both provide lunch convenient to get. B．They both welcome households with children.
C．They both have special water sports venues. D．They are both suitable for outdoor adventure.

When I was a child, my grandmother often said interpersonal communication mattered. She backed that up with her own behavior, and she invested her time and energy in interacting with people. When she walked down the street, she spoke to everyone, whether an elderly or a child, speaking whether English or Spanish.
However, as she aged, she noticed that most people wouldn’t have time for communication that’s longer than a 160-character text message, much less time to develop genuine friendships that last decades. In fact, people are barely speaking to one another nowadays. As much as I hate to admit it, I have noticed it too.
My grandmother opened my mind to having a pen pal on the other side of the world. It all started in 2013 when I was at University of Southern California. I met with Kerstin Zilm, a German radio personality who wanted to interview me about being a student struggling financially. I didn’t know much about German culture or the German audience who would listen to the show, but I agreed to do so. I had internalized(使内在化)my grandmother’s concept and I felt this was another way of communication and that speaking about my story was better than keeping it to myself. You never knew who could learn from your life experiences.
After the story aired, a woman named Renate reached out to Kerstin, inquiring how she could find me and help me financially with college. I was grateful, but my pride didn’t allow me to accept the money.
However, I didn’t let the opening halt. Encouraged by Kerstin, I emailed Renate back, thanking her for her kindness. This was the beginning of a beautiful intercontinental friend-ship. From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. And whenever I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual hugs at the moments when I needed them most. Though I have never met her in person, she is one of the most important people in my life.

Last year, more than 130 million tons of single-use plastics were thrown away. Now, a new report finds that just 20 companies produced more than half of all single-use plastic waste worldwide.
The report, published Tuesday by Australia’s Mindoro Foundation, offers one of the fullest accounting of the companies behind the production of single-use plastics that researchers believe could account for as much as 10% of global greenhouse emissions by 2050. The study has further identified 20 companies as the source of 55% of the world’s single-use plastic waste in 2020, while the top 100 companies account for more than 90%.
The report also has studied the money invested (投资) in the production of single-use plastics. It finds that 20 biggest investors hold shares worth close to $ 300 billion in the single-use plastic producers. The top three investors are US-based Vanguard Group, Black Rock and Capital Group, which according to the report have an estimated $ 6 billion invested in the production of single-use plastics.
Since most plastic is made from oil and gas, the production and consumption of plastic is becoming a significant driver of the climate crisis. The report warns that in the next five years, the global capacity to produce the materials needed for single-use plastics could grow by more than 30%. And much of the resulting single-use plastic waste will end up as pollution in developing countries with poor plastic waste management systems, according to the report.
Solving the issue will require serious changes from producers, investors and banks, the authors write. The report says that producers of polymers—known as the building blocks of plastics—should begin disclosing their single-use plastic waste “footprint”, while banks and investors should entirely stop their financing, in stages, that goes toward the production of single-use plastics. In addition, search for more environment-friendly materials should be encouraged.
8．How much single-use plastic waste was produced by the top 20 companies in 2020
A．About 13 million tons. B．About 65 million tons.
C．About 71.5 million tons. D．About 117 million tons.
9．Where are the top three investors from
A．China. B．The UK. C．Australia. D．The US.
10．What does the fourth paragraph focus on
A．The causes of the global warming.
B．The potential harmful effects of plastic.
C．The materials used to produce plastic.
D．The fast growth of the plastic waste.
11．Which measure is mentioned to reduce the plastic waste
A．Plastic producers should pay for the waste.
B．Plastic waste can be exported to poor countries.
C．The production of single-use plastics should be stopped now.
D．More efforts are needed to replace plastics with other materials.

Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way panies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.
12．As for driverless cars, what is the author’s major concern
A．Safety. B．Side effects. C．Affordability. D．Management.
13．According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can ________.
A．help deal with transportation-related problems B．provide better services to customers
C．cause damage to our environment D．make some people lose jobs
14．What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Employed. B．Replaced. C．Shared. D．Reduced.
15．What is the author’s attitude to the future of self-driving cars
A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.
（二）七选五
If you travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime, you will see people, mostly men wearing T-shirts, sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade, playing a game with large round disks of wood. ____16____ Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period.

China’s huge weekend at the box office came even though most of its theaters are still operating at 75% ____30____. Its impressive totals, ____31____, may have been helped by the country’s travel restrictions, which kept consumers at home over the holiday.
China first accepted Hollywood films into its country to boost its own film ambitions, hoping the rising ____32____ created by the US film industry’s funding and expertise could lift all boats. Chinese consumers responded in kind, turning out in droves for films from blockbuster Hollywood franchises like Fast & Furious.

That China’s box office recovered from the pandemic is a ____35____ sign for the US when its theaters return to some semblance of normal operation later this year.

四、读后续写
46．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
John could not shut out his wife’s complaint anymore. He was tired of hearing her laughing at him, for example, what a bad husband he was. Mary was never satisfied with anything that he did. If he brought home $ 4,000, she would tell him stories of how much her colleagues’ husbands earned. If he had bought her flowers, she would still complain about how other people received diamonds instead. She was impossible to please.
He decided to take a walk along the quiet banks of the lake. It was always a good way to calm down himself after an argument with his wife. As he walked towards the bus stop, he thought over his life. Sometimes, he wondered that it must be a mistake for him when he married Mary. Perhaps, they had been happy in the early days, but those days were definitely behind them now.
As he approached the bus stop, he spotted a white basket on the seat. Curiosity caught him, so he walked closer to take a look. To his surprise, it was a baby all wrapped up in a rough white towel. As he reached out to touch the baby, it suddenly stretched out to try to hold his fingers. John was amused. As he laughed with happiness at the beautiful face of the baby, waves of being gentle washed over him. What a beautiful baby! He wondered who could have the heart to abandon (抛弃) such a joy.
Suddenly, John picked up the basket and ran quickly to the police post just some distance away. He reported finding the baby and, when it was discovered that no one had come to report a missing baby, he was asked to keep the baby for the time being. Although doubtful at the beginning, the policeman soon gave in to John’s obvious honesty. Somehow, John knew that Mary would welcome this baby into their childless marriage.

True enough, she got over her complaint and started to smile at the baby.

2．细节理解题。根据“AI Shamal Beach For constant views of the sun setting over the ocean, head to Qatar’s north coast. The super shallow and rocky beaches up here aren’t the best for swimming, but when the sun goes down, AI Shamal Beach is a fine spot to take in the scenery. ”（艾沙马海滩 想要持续欣赏海洋上的日落美景，可以前往卡塔尔的北岸。这里超浅的岩石海滩不适合游泳，但当太阳下山时，AI Shamal海滩是一个欣赏风景的好地方。）可知，艾沙马海滩美丽的日落景色对业余摄影师最有吸引力。故选D。
3．细节理解题。根据“Katara BeachIt is a pleasant sandy stretch with lounge chairs, shaded areas ideal for sheltering kids from the hot sun, water sports ground and a wide children’s play area.

4．细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was a child, my grandmother often said interpersonal communication mattered. She backed that up with her own behavior, and she invested her time and energy in interacting with people.

5．细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, people are barely speaking to one another nowadays. As much as I hate to admit it, I have noticed it too.(事实上，现在人们几乎不互相说话了。尽管我不愿承认，但我也注意到了。)”可推断，人们之间的交流是有限的。故选C。

I was grateful, but my pride didn’t allow me to accept the money.(故事播出后，一个叫Renate的女人找到Kerstin，问她怎么能找到我，在经济上帮我上大学。我很感激，但我的自尊心不允许我接受这笔钱。)”可知，采访播出后，Renate想联系作者并打算给作者提供资助，但作者没有接受她的资助。结合表示转折意义的however可知，作者不想让这段（故事的）开场就此停止，于是作者给她回了邮件。由此可知，halt 意为“停止”。故选D。

9．细节理解题。根据第三段的“The top three investors are US-based Vanguard Group, Black Rock and Capital Group(排名前三的投资者是总部位于美国的Vanguard Group、Black Rock和Capital Group)”可知，一次性塑料的投资者主要来自美国。故选D。
10．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Since most plastic is made from oil and gas, the production and consumption of plastic is becoming a significant driver of the climate crisis. The report warns that in the next five years, the global capacity to produce the materials needed for single-use plastics could grow by more than 30%. And much of the resulting single-use plastic waste will end up as pollution in developing countries with poor plastic waste management systems, according to the report.(由于大多数塑料是由石油和天然气制成的，塑料的生产和消费正成为气候危机的重要驱动因素。报告警告说，在未来五年，全球生产一次性塑料所需材料的生产能力可能会增长30%以上。报告称，由此产生的一次性塑料废物中的大部分将在塑料废物管理系统较差的发展中国家最终成为污染)”可知，该段重在分析一次性塑料垃圾可能对气候变化产生的影响及对环境可能带来的危害。故选B。

We just have to plan for it. (未来的汽车就要来了。我们只需要为它做计划。)”可知，我们需要为其做好计划，故作者的主要关注点是对这种转变的管理，故选D。
13．推理判断题。根据第二段“While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. (尽管迄今为止的大部分辩论都集中在无人驾驶汽车的安全问题上（这是理所当然的），但决策者也应该讨论自动驾驶汽车如何帮助减少交通堵塞、减少排放，以及提供更方便、更实惠的出行选择。)”可知，政策制定者应该讨论无人驾驶车怎么帮助削减交通阻塞，减少尾气排放，提供更方便、更便宜的出行选择，由此可见人们应该多关注无人驾驶车怎么帮助处理与交通有关的问题。故选A。

(象棋的历史可以追溯到战国时期。)”介绍象棋可以追溯到战国时代，D项“The game is called Xiangqi, a game of ordinary people.(这个游戏叫象棋，一个普通人的游戏)”承接上文，指出这个游戏就是象棋，“the game”指代上文的“playing a game with large round disks of wood”，“a game of ordinary people”呼应上文句子所描写的场景，下文进一步介绍象棋，选项中的“Xiangqi”与下文的“Xiangqi”一致，所以D选项符合逻辑关系。故选D。
17．上文“Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period. While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess, there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China.(象棋的历史可以追溯到战国。虽然专家们对象棋的创造者以及它与西洋象棋的联系有不同的看法，但毫无疑问，到了唐代，象棋在中国已经成为一种流行的游戏。)”介绍象棋在中国历史悠久，很受欢迎。下文“And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game.(在20世纪，孙中山和周恩来都是象棋的忠实粉丝。)”介绍了近代象棋在中国的受欢迎程度，根据上下文可知此段按照时间顺序介绍了象棋在中国的发展，所以空处应该按照时间介绍唐朝之后的一个时期象棋的发展情形。B项“During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew.(在清朝，它的流行程度越来越高。)”符合时间逻辑关系，选项中的“its popularity grew”顺承上文的“by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game ”。故选B。
18．上一段“And, though it may look quite a bit different than Western chess, Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played. Like Western chess, the object of the game is to capture the other player’s ‘king’. Actually, in Xiangqi he is just a general.(尽管象棋看起来与西方国际象棋有很大的不同，但在棋子的功能和游戏方式方面，象棋实际上非常相似。就像西洋象棋，游戏的目标是抓住其他玩家的‘王’。其实，在象棋里他只是个将军。)”说明了中国象棋与西方象棋的相似之处，由下文“Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. (西洋象棋和象棋的另一个很大的不同是，棋盘中间有一个很大的空地，象不能越过的。)”可知设空处应该阐述西洋象棋和象棋的一个不同之处，A选项“Unlike Western chess, instead of placing the pieces in squares, the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines.(与西方国际象棋不同的是，棋子不是放在方格里，而是放在线的交叉点上。)”符合语意。故选A。
19．上文“Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross. (象棋和西洋象棋的另一大区别是棋盘中间有一大块空白，象无法通过。)”提到中国象棋中有个空间是象不能越过的；下文“This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war. (这个空间指的是中国的一个地区，刘邦和项羽在那里进行了一场生死战)”提到这个空间就是刘邦和项羽打生死战的地方，所以空处应是对这个空间进行定义，C项“It is called ‘the Chu River and the Han Boundary’.(它被称为‘楚河汉界’。)”符合逻辑，选项中的代词“it”指代上文的“a large empty space in the middle of the board, which the elephants cannot cross.”，下文对选项中的“the Chu River and the Han Boundary”进行进一步的说明。故选C。
20．上文“The war was so influential that ‘the Chu River and the Han Boundary’ has become a metaphor(隐喻)referring to any boundary between two opposing armies. When the Chinese people today see this name on the board, the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums. (这场战争的影响是如此之大，以至于“楚汉边界”已经成为一个隐喻，指的是两个敌对军队之间的任何边界。当今天的中国人看到这个名字在棋盘时，战斗的画面浮现在他们的脑海中，仿佛被浓烟包围，能够听到战鼓的敲击声。)”提到楚河汉界是一种隐喻，下象棋时棋盘也是个战场，人们看到这个名字就好像沉浸在硝烟四起、战鼓喧天的战争场面。F选项“An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard.(一场激烈的战斗即将在这个小棋盘上进行)”承接上文，符合逻辑，选项中的“An intense battle”与上文中的“the battle scenes come to their mind, as though they are surrounded by thick smoke, able to hear the beating of war drums.”表达的意思一致，“on this small chessboard”与上文中的“on the board”一致。故选F。

One possible version:
True enough, she got over her complaint and started to smile at the baby. Mary no longer complained or laughed at John, but happily took care of the baby, talking to the baby to make it happy as if it were hers. In the evening when John came home from work, the wife eagerly told John the interesting things happened during the day. John felt relived and at ease with his wife at home. There was so much joy in the house because of the baby.
Weeks later the baby was returned to its parents. The parents of the baby cried with joy when they saw the baby. The mother held the baby tightly and kept saying words of gratitude to Mary. To their relief, the parents loved the baby so much. Mary and John were moved when they saw the scene of reunion. Mary realized that the meaning of life is to spend time together, be close to each other and love each other.

47．One possible version:
Dear Alice,
I’m so glad to receive your email, in which you asked me what Chinese presents to choose for your family and friends.
In my opinion, choosing some Chinese tea for them is a good choice. As we all know, China has a long tea-planting history. Drinking tea, a very healthy habit, is extremely popular in China. Also, Chinese paintings, which cover many different subjects like nature, especially mountains, flowers and birds, can help people learn more about Chinese culture. Therefore, they’re also ideal presents.
Actually, other presents like kites, paper cuttings and Chinese knots, will also help people have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. I hope my suggestions are useful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
