58.第二节(满分25分,其中行文22分,书写3分)读后续写
【参考例文】(详解在例文后)
As the elderly woman was waiting in the queue at the cash register, I walked over to her daughter. “Mind some advice ” I asked. She rolled her eyes and said, “of course not.” I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing. “Cherish her and cherish every single moment you can stay with her,” I said. And then I answered her curious expression by saying, “When she's gone, it's these little moments that will come back to you. Moments like this. I know.” Having finished saying this, I noticed the elderly woman moving with her deliberation back to her daughter.
Together they made their way toward the store's exit. They stood there for a moment, side by side, watching the rush of the holiday current and for their place in it. Then the daughter glanced over her elderly mother. And slowly, almost unwillingly, she placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around her mothers’ shoulders and gently guided her back into the crowd. Tears filled my eyes when I watched them disappearing in the crowd.
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了作者在做兼职工作时,看到了一对母女一起走进了商店。女儿非常不耐烦,而母亲只是从容地选着DVD。看到这里,作者想到了自己的母亲,于是在收银台排队时给那个女儿一些忠告。
【详解】续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:当那位老妇人在收银台排队时,我走向她的女儿。可知后文应当描写作者和女儿的对话,作者劝告女儿珍惜现在和母亲相处的时刻;第二段开头是:他们一起朝商店的出口走去。后文应当描写听了作者建议的女儿和母亲在一起的表现,她把她的胳膊放在她母亲的肩膀上,带着明显不习惯的感情,轻轻地把她带回到人群中。作者看着这对母女消失在人群中,热泪盈眶。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当,使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如:in the queue; criticize, deliberation等高级词汇;时间状语从句As the elderly woman was waiting in the queue at the cash register, I walked over to her daughter.;非谓语动词的运用Having finished saying this, I noticed the elderly woman moving with her deliberation back to her daughter.等高级句式。
七选五 答案详解
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。关于一种疾病的大量虚假信息有时会充斥着互联网,专家呼吁公众养成“信息卫生”的习惯。本文主要介绍了阻止不良信息传播的方式。
36.A [根据空后一句“Before you share a piece of information,ask some basic questions about where the information comes from”可知,在分享一条信息之前,要问一些关于这条信息来源的基本问题,又结合本段第三句中的“the source”可知,A项适合作本段的中心句。]
37.E [根据空前一句中的“Some of the details in the post were accurate”并结合空后一句“That was potentially harmful”可知,本空应与空前一句形成转折关系,故E项符合语境。]
38.C [根据上文“Appearances can be misleading”和空后一句“If you can’t easily find the information,it might be a trap”以及语境可知,一些信息源的外表可能会有误导性,我们应查看一些已知的、已确认的账号和网站来确认信息的可靠性,所以C项符合语境。]
39.D [结合中心句“Don’t share if unsure whether it’s true”可知,本段主要表述了如果拿不准信息是否真实,就不要分享,故D项符合语境。]
40.F [结合空前一句“It’s when you’re angrily nodding your head that you are easily taken in”和语境可知,后面讲的应该是怎样避免被骗,前后形成因果关系,所以F项符合语境。]
完形填空 答案详解
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文,主要讲述了艺术家Jim Bachor对马赛克艺术的热爱和他在马路凹坑上的马赛克艺术创作。
41.答案 C [根据空前的“You’re driving down the road when suddenly...appear”可知,驾驶时路上突然出现凹坑,车(car)会发生颠簸,故选C。]
42.答案 D [根据空后的转折词but可知,前后存在情感上的对比关系,大多数人觉得(这些让汽车颠簸的)凹坑让人烦恼,但艺术家Jim Bachor认为凹坑是画布。discouraging意为“令人沮丧的”;annoying意为“令人生气的,使烦恼的”。]
43.答案 B [根据第四段的“the ancient technique”“that mosaics can be...over 1,000 years ago”可知,马赛克是一种古老的艺术形式。modern“现代的,当代的”;ancient“古老的,很老的”;elegant“优美的,文雅的”;mysterious“神秘的,奇怪的,不易解释的”。]
44.答案 A [根据空后的“like food”可知,Bachor的创作涉及简单的日常物品,object意为“物体,物品”。故选A。]
45.答案 B [根据空后的“He regards an incidental trip to Europe as his motivation to change careers”可知,Bachor本是平面设计师,一次偶然的欧洲之旅让他改变了职业(career),开始马赛克艺术创作。instruction意为“讲授,教育,指导”。]
46.答案 A [根据上文的“an incidental trip to Europe”可知,他是在旅行(traveling)。]
47.答案 C [根据本段最后一句话中的“That kind of staying power”可知,玻璃和大理石有能长期保存的特性,不会褪色。fade“褪色,逐渐消逝”;resolve意为“解决,消除,分解”。]
48.答案 D [根据上文内容和第四段的“A year later Bachor returned to attend a mosaic class”可知,马赛克艺术创作给他留下了深刻的印象(impressed),所以他才改变职业,参加相关课程。]
49.答案 B [根据设空句句意和下文的“he mastered the technique”可知,他参加课程学习如何进行马赛克艺术创作。perform在此处意为“做,执行,履行”。promote意为“促进,提拔”。]
50.答案 D [根据空前的“he mastered the technique”和空后的“I just saw that”可知,他意识到马赛克在今天可以像在一千多年以前一样重要。realize“意识到”。]
51.答案 C [根据倒数第二段的内容可知,他看到了一个把马赛克艺术带入新时代的机会(opportunity)。故选C。]
52.答案 A [根据第一段提到的Bachor把凹坑当作艺术创作的画布以及下文的“mosaic pothole art”可知,他决定为路上的凹坑创作特殊的艺术作品(artwork)。]
53.答案 B [根据上文的“make a special piece of”可知,他创作了(created)马赛克凹坑艺术。]
54.答案 D [根据句首的“While”并分析句子结构可知,前后句之间存在让步关系。此处表示尽管Bachor可能没有得到司机或者行人的赞扬(praise),但对他们来说Bachor的作品一定会是个令人惊喜的发现。]
55.答案 C [参见上题解析。第二段的“Bachor uses...create eye-catching,colorful images”亦是提示。certainly“无疑,确定”。]
语法填空答案详解
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一个中国女孩引用《三国演义》中的故事来浅谈俄乌局势的视频在网上走红,这也引起了很多人对中国经典书籍的价值的重新认识。
【详解】
56-1.考查非谓语动词。句意:最近,一段短视频在网上疯传,视频中,一名中国女学生参照中国经典名著《三国演义》分析俄乌危机。根据结构判断句中缺少作定语的非谓语短语,video和动词show之间是主动关系,判断用现在分词。故填showing。
56-2.考查冠词。句意同上。此处是同位语短语,解释说明 Romance of the Three Kingdoms,泛指:一部中国经典名著,且Chinese的发音是辅音音素开头,故填a。
56-3.考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:它给他留下了深刻的印象,他在推特上发布了它。据报道,在那之后,他甚至想过把自己的孙女送到中国学习。从结构判断此处是“sb.be reported to do sth.”,主语he和谓语动词report是被动关系,根据上下文可知,讲述过去发生的事情用一般过去时,主语是第三人称单数,谓语动词用单数,故填 was reported。
56-4.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。根据固定短语send sb. to do sth“派某人做某事”可知,空处应用不定式。故填to study。
56-5.考查名词。句意:的确,中国古代的一些经典中蕴含着中国的智慧和哲理,对当代社会仍有借鉴意义。此处和philosophy一起作介词of的并列宾语,判断填名词形式。wisdom“智慧”是不可数名词,故填wisdom。
56-6.考查主语从句。句意:例如,泰迪告诉《环球时报》,他从《孙子兵法》中学到了三个教训。从结构可知,“________ he took away from The Art of War”是主语从句,在that引导的宾语从句中作主语,主语从句中缺少宾语,表示“……(东西)”应用连接代词what。故填what。
56-7.考查副词。句意:第一是进入你知道自己可以完全获胜的战斗,第二是尽你所能,第三是秘密计划。修饰动词win应该用副词作状语。故填completely。
56-8.考查非谓语动词。句意:这本神奇的书给了我灵感。它给我上了人生的课。通过这本书,我学会了如何管理所有的事情,这里用提示动词的过去分词inspired作宾语补足语表示“得到启示的”,说明人的感受,故填inspired。
56-9.考查代词。句意:他们的核心是中华民族所重视的爱好和平、和谐共赢的态度。介词of后应该用代词的宾格形式,指代上文提到的 universal values,应用复数,故填them。
56-10.考查介词。句意同上。固定短语 attach importance to意为“重视”是固定短语。故填to。

Have you ever been faced with trying to stay positive when others around you are negative A negative person can bring you down and throw your positive plans out of the window. Whether you deal with a family member, friend or co-worker who is negative, there are things you can do to remain positive in the face of negativity.
Whatever you do, don’t argue with a negative person. Arguing only adds fuel to the fire. I have noticed when my children are crabby, it is best to avoid trying to convince them to analyze and adjust their attitude. As soon as I take the approach of being in opposition to them, the situation gets worse before it gets better. Sometimes the best thing to do is remain silent and let negativity pass.
You know how difficult it can be to give love and positive attention to negative people. Unfortunately, that is often exactly what they need. A negative person is usually afraid he is unlovable. How do you show love when someone is negative You must listen to what he is trying to tell you. Acknowledge the feelings he has by saying something like, “You sound very angry right now.” How might you help a negative person Offer a hug even if you get rejected. A negative person often has difficulty accepting love from others.
If you have negative people on your life who are affecting your mental and physical health, you need to decide whether or not you want these people in your life. Some people are so negative that you have no other choice but to remove them from your life. However, some people, such as your children, are difficult to remove from your life, in this case, professional counseling(咨询) may be the answer.
24. What does the underlined word “crabby” in Para.2 mean
A. Quite excited B. Very lonely.
C. Easily annoyed. D. Highly optimistic.
25. What’s the main idea of Para.3
A. Negative people need care.
B. Negative people make us happy.
C. Negative people can be hurt easily.
D. Negative people are hard to get along with.
26. What does the author suggest doing
A. Focusing on positive things.
B. Trying to change negative thoughts.
C. Controlling our own negative thoughts.
D. Staying away from some negative people.
27.In which section of a magazine can we most probably read the text
A. Health B. Relationships C. Lifestyles D. Entertainment.
C
Japan’s biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn’t traveling at all. For the last month,a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that’s controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc. ,it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter’s face as they chat,and its wheels let her move about the house as though she’s really there.
“Virtual travel” is nothing new,of course. Storytellers,travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries. It’s only in recent decades that frequent,safe travel has become available to the non-wealthy.
Yet even as the world’s middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seats,there are signs of a post-travel society emerging. Concerns about environmental sustainability cause losses to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry,virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends.
Of course,new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn’t plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits,too,will probably be difficult to make:By one estimate,the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023.By contrast,ANA’s traditional travel business brought in more than $ 19 billion last year.
But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak,the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and co-workers seems likely to only expand. ANA’s robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon,but they’ll almost certainly be a part of travel’s high-tech future.

A. To show the Japanese are crazy about travel.
B. To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people’s real life.

B. Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people.

Mr. Jafri is a 44- year- old artist from England. Last year, the coronavirus spread and many countries went into lockdown(封锁;在家隔离). Rather than feeling stuck, Jafri decided to take on a huge project that could “make a really big difference”.
He decided to create the world’ s largest painting. He asked children to send him pictures showing how they were feeling during the pandemic(大流行病). He got artwork from kids in 140 different countries.
The painting is huge—over 1600 square meters. It took Jafri seven months to create the painting. He worked long hours—often up to 20 hours a day. He hurt his back by bending over so much while he painted. It took over 1000 paintbrushes and 6300 liters of paint to create the painting.
Jafri hoped that his painting, called “The Journey of Humanity”, would help bring the world together during a difficult time. He included the children’s drawings in the artwork.
When he finished last September, he had set a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest painting.
The painting was split up into 70 large pieces. Jafri hoped that by selling the pieces, he could raise 30 million dollars.
But when the auction ended on March 22, Jafri did much better than that. And he didn’t have to split up the pieces. The whole artwork was sold for 62 million dollars.
Andre Abdoune, a French businessman, bought all 70 pieces. “The painting was very powerful when I saw it,” Mr. Abdoune said. “And for me, it would have been a mistake to separate the pieces.”
32. What’s the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To persuade the readers.
C. To attract readers’ interest. D. To provide background information.
33. Why did Jafri decide to create this painting
A. To raise money for children.
B. To set a Guinness World Record.
C. To kill time under a tight lockdown.
D. To get everybody together during the pandemic.
34. Which of the following best describes Andre Abdoune
A. Mean. B. Kind. C. Generous. D. Selfish.
35. What’s the best title of this text
A. The Painting of Mr. Jafri. B. A Great Artist.
C. The Journey of Humanity. D. A Guinness World Record.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。
A lot of misinformation about a disease can sometimes flood the Internet and experts call on the public to practise “information hygiene (卫生)”.What can you do to stop the spread of bad information
36 Before you share a piece of information,ask some basic questions about where the information comes from. You must be careful if the source is “a friend of a friend” or “my aunt’s colleague’s neighbour”.
We recently tracked how a misleading post from someone’s “uncle with a master’s degree” went viral (广为传播的).Some of the details in the post were accurate—some versions,for example,encouraged hand washing to slow the spread of viruses. 37 That was potentially harmful.
Could it be false Appearances can be misleading. They may possibly pretend to be official accounts and authorities,including some famous news agencies and the government. Screenshots can also be changed to make it look like information has come from a trusted public body. 38 If you can’t easily find the information,it might be a trap. And if a post,video or a link looks fishy—it probably is.
Don’t share if unsure whether it’s true. 39 You might be doing more harm than good. Often we post things on places where we know there are experts like doctors or medical professionals. That might be OK,but make sure you’re very clear about your doubts.
Think about your preference. Are you sharing something because you know it’s true or just because you agree with it?“We’re more likely to share posts that support our existing beliefs,” says Carl Miller,research director of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media. It’s when you’re angrily nodding your head that you are easily taken in. 40
A. Check your source.
B. Consider their opinions carefully.
C. Check known and confirmed accounts and websites.
D. You can’t share things “just in case” they might be true.
E. But others made unproven claims about how to diagnose the illness.
F. So,above all,you just need to slow down everything that you do online.
G. Your followers read what you share,but they may disagree with you.

Bachor was a graphic designer for 20 years before he began his 45 in mosaic. He regards an incidental trip to Europe as his motivation to change careers. While 46 in Italy,Bachor fell in love with Pompeii,a preserved ancient Roman city. A tour guide pointed out a mosaic,made of mainly glass and marble,and told Bachor,“Glass and marble don’t 47 .So,this looks essentially the way the artist intended.” Bachor says,“That kind of staying power just 48 me so much.”
A year later Bachor returned to attend a mosaic class in Ravenna,Italy,to learn the proper way to 49 the ancient technique. Years after that,he mastered the technique. He 50 that mosaics can be just as significant today as the art form over 1,000 years ago. “I just saw that there was a(n) 51 to bring it into the new age as a contemporary subject,” he says.
So,Bachor decided to make a special piece of 52 for that pothole. He has
53 mosaic pothole art around Chicago,Detroit,New York City and even in Finland.
While he may not be getting 54 from drivers or passengers,Bachor’s art is 55 a pleasant surprise to discover.

第二节 书面表达(满分25分,其中行文22分,书写3分)
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。
There was something in the elderly woman’s grace that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of her steps, the woman moved with deliberation (从容), and there was no hesitation in her gestures.
It was a few years ago, and I had taken a part-time holiday-season job in a video store at the local shopping mall. From inside the store, I could see the people outside rushing by.
The elderly woman entered the store, along with her daughter, who was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, sighing and checking her watch every few seconds. I guessed if she had possessed a rope, she would have fastened it to her mother to drag her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.
The elderly woman separated from her daughter and began to seek through the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title written on an old piece of paper.
Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I thought I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.
Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who’d passed away the previous Christmas. I missed my mom and still felt regretful about the moments when I’d used my impatience to make her life unhappy.
As we walked along the back of the store, I introduced its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.
We found the DVD and she thanked me, saying that it was the one she’d enjoyed when she was her daughter’s age. Unwillingly, I accompanied her to the cash register, realizing I had to return the elderly woman to her daughter, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.
