【点评】考查语法填空，本题考点涉及名词，连词，非谓语动词，形容词，介词，虚拟语气，定语从句，代词以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
1．句意：环保理念已经被创造出来，为人们提供如何帮助环境和节约资金的有用建议。tip为可数名词，其前没有冠词修饰，因此用名词复数形式表泛指。故填tips。
2．句意：环保理念已经被创造出来，为人们提供如何帮助环境和节约资金的有用建议。as well as固定短语，“以及，和，也”。故填as。
3．句意：随着电费、水费和所有其他费用的持续上涨，对普通工人来说非常困难。此处是with复合结构，power bills, water bills and all other expenses与动词continue之间为主动关系，continue用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填continuing。

9．句意：每一点都有帮助，所以请尽你所能保护我们的环境和这些令人惊讶的动物的环境。 you can (do)是限制性定语从句，先行词是不定代词all，在定语从句中作do(已省略)的宾语，用关系代词that。故填that。
10．句意：我希望这些环保理念能帮助每个人为环境尽自己的一份力，让这个世界变得更美好。应用形容词性物主代词their作定语，修饰名词bit。故填their。

三、翻译
21． , you can drive on your own.
既然你通过测试了，你可以自己开车了。
【答案】Now that you've passed the test
【解析】【分析】根据英汉对照，可知缺少“既然你通过测试了”；“既然”是now that；“通过测试”是pass the test；根据句意，可知测试已经完成了，应使用现在完成时态。故答案为Now that you've passed the test。
【点评】考查翻译，注意连词now that的使用和时态的选择。
22．You can go to the party with us .
如果你想和我们一起参加派对，你就去吧
【答案】if you want to
【解析】【分析】根据分析所给句子可知，设空处前所给部分“You can go to the party with us ”可以翻译为“你可以和我们一起去参加派对”，该句为一般现在时态。所以要翻译的部分就是“如果你想要和我们一起”，因此需要用if引导的条件状语从句来翻译这个句子，在从句中主语是you，“想要做某事”可以用want to do sth，故答案为if you want to。
【点评】考查汉译英，条件状语从句和一般现在时。注意认真分析句子结构，发现句子所缺成分。
23．In the earthquake, parents were willing to do to save their children.
在地震(发生)时，父母愿意做任何事情去救自己的孩子。
【答案】whatever they could
【解析】【分析】根据分析句子结构可知，句子中do后缺少宾语从句，缺少的部分汉语意思为“做任何事情”，可以用连接代词whatever“无论什么”来引导该宾语从句，在从句中作宾语，又因该主句中的谓语用了were，所以该从句也应为一般过去时态，故答案为whatever they could。
【点评】考查汉译英和宾语从句。注意be willing to do sth意思是“愿意做某事”。
24．I appreciate you deal with the problem.
我欣赏你处理问题的方式。
【答案】the way (in which/that)
【解析】【分析】根据分析句子结构可知，该句的主语是I，谓语是appreciate，设空处在句中作宾语，设空处后的”you deal with the problem“为定语从句。再根据汉语”我欣赏你处理问题的方式。“可知，设空处缺少的是”方式“，可用the way，在句中作宾语，又因先行词为the way时该引导词可以省略也可以是in which或者that，故答案为the way (in which/that)。
【点评】考查汉译英和定语从句。注意先行词为the way时该引导词 可以省略也可以是in which或者that。
25．We didn't at home watching TV yesterday.
昨天我们什么也没做，只是待在家里看电视。
【答案】do anything but stay
【解析】【分析】根据分析句子结构可知，”待在家“可用动词短语stay at home；”除了做……什么事情都没做“可用短语do anything but do sth，又因设空处前是助动词didn't ，所以其后可直接跟动词原形，故答案为do anything but stay。
【点评】考查汉译英和动词短语。注意动词短语do anything but do sth意思是”除了做……什么事情都没做“。
26．—Did you tell him the news
—I , but I didn't know how to speak.
—你告诉他这个消息了吗？
—我本该(告诉他这个消息)，但不知道该怎么说。
【答案】ought to have (told him the news)
【解析】【分析】根据英汉对照，可知缺少“我本该(告诉他这个消息)”，应使用情态动词的虚拟语气，即ought to have+V-ed；“告诉他这个消息”是tell him the news；根据上句中的“tell him the news”，可知故答案为ought to have （told the news）。
【点评】考查翻译，注意情态动词虚拟语气和使用。
27． is her full-time job.
下蛋是她的全职工作。
【答案】Laying eggs
【解析】【分析】根据分析句子结构可知，设空处可翻译为”下蛋“，动词短语lay eggs”下蛋“符合句意，又因该动词短语在句中要作主语，故要用其动名词形式，故答案为Laying eggs。
【点评】考查汉译英和动名词短语作主语。注意动词短语lay eggs意思是”下蛋“。
28．She beautifully wonderfully.
她不仅歌唱得好，而且舞跳得也好。
【答案】not only sings；but also dances
【解析】【分析】根据所给部分”她不仅歌唱得好，而且舞跳得也好。“可知，该句子可用固定结构”not only…but also…“来表达，又因该句的主语时she，为第三人称，且句子描述的时一般事实，所以该句用一般现在时态，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，”唱歌“可用动词sing，”跳舞“可用动词dance，故答案为not only sings，but also dances。
【点评】考查汉译英和固定结构。注意固定结构”not only…but also…“意为”不仅……而且……“。
29． we may often fly up into space in future.
今后，我们有可能经常飞上太空。
【答案】It's possible that
【解析】【分析】根据分析句子结构可知，所给部分“ we may often fly up into space in future”句子结构完整，所以可以用it作形式主语，“可能的”可以用形容词possible来表示，故答案为It's possible that。
【点评】考查汉译英和主语从句。注意短语in future意为“今后；在将来”。
30．I was here I had no time to write a letter.
我在这里很忙，没时间写信。
【答案】so busy；that
【解析】【分析】根据汉语意思，结合英语句型，可知此句话可以理解为“我在这里如此地忙以至于没时间写信”，所以应使用so…that…结构，忙，busy，形容词，故答案为so busy，that。
【点评】考查翻译，注意翻译时的英汉差异。

五、阅读理解
A
Most of us want to get in shape and be healthy. For many of us nutrition (营养) and watching what we eat is an important way to stay healthy. But when it comes to food, what is calorie counting, and what are the positives and negatives of it
A law in the UK came into force in April 2022 that requires restaurants, takeaways, and cafes to display the calorie information of non-pre-packed food and soft drinks on their menus. It's a strategy aimed to deal with obesity (肥胖) and give people a more informed choice of what goes down into their stomachs. Being able to count calories and know how much we can eat is a great way to try and stay on track with our diet.
However, there are some disbelievers when it comes to calorie counting. 200 calories of fresh fruit and 200 calories of junk food, for example cookies, have the same caloric value. However, there is a question of the health benefits of what you're eating, regardless of calories. While fresh fruit like apples contains things like vitamin C, junk food could contain an unhealthy level of sugar and fats. Likewise (同样地), fruit may fill you up and leave you not wanting more food for longer than a biscuit with equal calories - meaning, overall, you eat less.
Simply counting calories, while useful for weight loss, doesn't take into account your intake of good fats, carbohydrates, and proteins - things that your body needs. So, if you're trying to stick to a low-carbon diet, just looking at numbers of calories on a menu won't be that useful. So, always be mindful that what you're eating is part of a healthy balanced diet.
46．What's the aim of the newly-passed law in the UK
A．To ensure food security. B．To direct the food industry.
C．To help reduce obesity. D．To get tough with the businessmen.
47．What opinion do disbelievers hold
A．Calorie alone doesn't contribute to health.
B．Junk food has more calories than fresh fruit.
C．Less calories mean less food in your stomach.
D．Sugar and fats are more harmful than calories.
48．What's the text mainly about
A．The best way to keep in shape.
B．A research result of obesity in the UK.
C．Nutrition and its health benefit.
D．Opinions and comments on calorie counting.
49．From which section of a magazine is this text most likely taken
A．Entertainment. B．Lifestyle. C．Finance. D．Education.
【答案】46．C
47．A
48．D
49．B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了考虑到健康问题，我们是否应该计算卡路里。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇健康类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
46．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"A law in the UK came into force in April 2022 that requires restaurants, takeaways, and cafes to display the calorie information of non-pre-packed food and soft drinks on their menus. It's a strategy aimed to deal with obesity (肥胖) and give people a more informed choice of what goes down into their stomachs.”英国一项法律于2022年4月生效，要求餐馆、外卖和咖啡馆在菜单上显示非预包装食品和软饮料的卡路里信息。这是一种旨在应对肥胖的策略，让人们更明智地选择哪些食物进入了他们的胃。可知，英国新通过的这项法律的目的是帮助减少肥胖。故选C。
47．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"However, there are some disbelievers when it comes to calorie counting. 200 calories of fresh fruit and 200 calories of junk food, for example cookies, have the same caloric value. However, there is a question of the health benefits of what you're eating, regardless of calories. ”然而，有一些人不相信计算卡路里。200卡路里的新鲜水果和200卡路里的垃圾食品(如饼干)具有相同的热值。然而，不管卡路里多少，你所吃的东西对健康的益处是有问题的。可知，不相信的人认为热量本身对健康无益。故选A。
48．考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的"But when it comes to food, what is calorie counting, and what are the positives and negatives of it ”但说到食物，什么是卡路里计算，它的优点和缺点是什么 ；以及最后一段"Simply counting calories, while useful for weight loss, doesn't take into account your intake of good fats, carbohydrates, and proteins - things that your body needs. So, if you're trying to stick to a low-carbon diet, just looking at numbers of calories on a menu won't be that useful. So, always be mindful that what you're eating is part of a healthy balanced diet.”简单地计算卡路里，虽然对减肥有用，但没有考虑到你摄入的有益脂肪、碳水化合物和蛋白质——你身体需要的东西。所以，如果你想坚持低碳饮食，只看菜单上的卡路里数量并没有那么有用。所以，一定要记住，你所吃的是健康均衡饮食的一部分。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是卡路里计算的必要性和它的不足之处，从而让我们读者明了该不该计算卡路里。即关于卡路里计算的意见和评论。故选D。
49．考查推理判断。根据全文可知，本文介绍了考虑到健康问题，我们是否应该计算卡路里，与健康生活有关，从而推断，文章最有可能是从杂志的生活方式栏目选取的。故选B。

A shaking head, new heart colours and a familiar goose are among a new group of emojis (表情符号) set to be released (发布) this year.
Unicode Consortiumlist contains only 31 new emojis, much smaller than last year's 112 emojis, which included pregnant people and a low battery sign. The goose emoji has drawn comparisons to the hit game Untitled Goose Game, where players take control of a horrible goose. The release has gained a mostly positive response online.
The chosen emojis are selected by Unicode Consortium, a non-profit organization in California. Keith Broni, editor in chief of Emojipedia, said "The Unicode emoji subcommittee want to take more time to consider what symbols we can add to represent what we know or experiences we have had — things like a shaking face or the pink hearts."
He mentioned people were excited to see the pink heart emoji finally included, but he was particularly interested in the use of the shaking head. "It is most likely to be used when we are mentally or physically shook," he said, "But there is a lot behind this - how can we communicate what happens to a person when they're undergoing an earthquake
He added that their designer probably took a healthy inspiration" from the goose video game for the relevant emoji - but it has meaning beyond that. "In the case of the goose, the concept (概念) goes back to how we use language in an expressive way." He said, "What other things can we say with these emojis How can we forget the English idiom' silly goose5 " Through the emoji, that English language idiom becomes a piece of knowledge that can be represented across cultures.
50．What emoji was inspired by a hit game
A．Shaking head. B．Pregnant people.
C．A low battery. D．Goose.
51．What's people's attitude to the newly released emojis
A．Doubtful. B．Disappointed. C．Welcome. D．Indifferent.
52．What do we know about the selection of new emojis
A．People vote for the selection of new emojis.
B．Not all the emojis created will be admitted officially.
C．Designers decide the entry of the emojis.
D．Only those widely used emojis can be chosen.
53．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Emojis are more than a way of daily expression.
B．English idioms found their way through emojis.
C．Different cultures may contain the same expression.
D．The Goose emoji originated from the phrase "silly goose".
【答案】50．D

51．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"He mentioned people were excited to see the pink heart emoji finally included, but he was particularly interested in the use of the shaking head.” 他提到，人们很高兴看到粉红色的心形表情最终加入，但他对摇头的使用特别感兴趣。可推断，人们对新发布的表情包持欢迎态度。故选C。

When you encounter animals, do you wonder what they're thinking Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions (情感) in us, but what are they thinking Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they're feeling - or are they feeling nothing at all
Humans have a complex range of feelings, but it's hard to tell what's going on inside the heads of animals. Some of us own dogs because they are good companions, are loyal and seem to connect with us. We might even think they love us. Professor Kim Bard, an expert in comparative developmental psychology from the University of Portsmouth, told the BBC: "We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond when their owner - but not a stranger - pretends to cry." The empathetic ability of cats, however, is harder to work out.
Other non-domesticated (非驯养的) animals might have feelings too. Giraffes and whales, for example, are known to experience sadness when someone in their group dies. It's believed that even tiny creatures like insects might have emotions as well. Research is beginning to show they experience a wide range of feelings. Kim says "they can be optimistic, pessimistic, or frightened, and respond to pain just like any mammal would."
Dr Barbara J King, Emerita Professor of Anthropology at the College of William and Mary, told the BBC: "If we understand the profound depths of emotions animals can feel, this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses (屠宰场) around the world, and rethink those systems. It does seem all creatures feel emotion, but what is not clear is do they feel the same way as us "
57．What's the purpose of raising questions in the first paragraph
A．To entertain. B．To inspire. C．To appeal. D．To persuade.
58．What do the underlined words "empathetic ability" in paragraph 2 mean
A．The ability to respond to others' questions.
B．The ability to understand others' feelings.
C．The ability to stay calm when facing danger.
D．The ability to share work with their owners.
59．What's the importance of the research, according to Barbara
A．It may reduce the times of people visiting zoos.
B．It may change the food chain of the whole world.
C．It may cause zoos and slaughterhouses to disappear.
D．It may lead people to reconsider animals' well-being.
60．How do the researchers sound when talking about the issue
A．Careful. B．Certain. C．Critical. D．Regretful.
【答案】57．C
58．B
59．D
60．A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，对动物是否会有情感和感受以及何种动物会拥有情感和感受进行了探究。
【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
57．考查推理判断。根据第一段"When you encounter animals, do you wonder what they're thinking Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions (情感) in us, but what are they thinking Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they're feeling - or are they feeling nothing at all ”当你遇到动物时，你想知道它们在想什么吗 看到一只刚出生的小羊羔或一只可爱的小狗可能会让我们产生快乐的情绪，但它们在想什么呢 他们脸上的表情和行为是否表明了他们的感受——还是他们根本没有感觉 。可推断，第一段提出问题的目的是引起读者的兴趣。故选C。
58．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的"Professor Kim Bard, an expert in comparative developmental psychology from the University of Portsmouth, told the BBC: ‘We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond when their owner - but not a stranger - pretends to cry.’" 朴茨茅斯大学比较发展心理学专家金·巴德教授告诉BBC："我们现在有一些研究实际上科学地表明，当主人（而不是陌生人）假装哭泣时，一些狗会做出反应。"可知，这里指猫理解他人感受的能力比狗理解他人感受的能力更难研究。所以empathetic ability为"理解他人感受的能力"。故选B。
59．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"Dr Barbara J King, Emerita Professor of Anthropology at the College of William and Mary, told the BBC:‘If we understand the profound depths of emotions animals can feel, this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses (屠宰场) around the world, and rethink those systems. It does seem all creatures feel emotion, but what is not clear is do they feel the same way as us ’"威廉玛丽学院人类学名誉教授芭芭拉·J·金博士在接受BBC采访时表示："如果我们了解动物情感的深度，我们应该会质疑世界各地动物园和屠宰场的存在，并重新思考这些系统。似乎所有的生物都有情感，但不清楚的是它们是否和我们有同样的感受 "。可推断，芭芭拉认为这项研究的重要性是可能导致人们重新考虑动物的福祉。故选D。
60．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"It does seem all creatures feel emotion, but what is not clear is do they feel the same way as us ”似乎所有的生物都有情感，但不清楚的是它们是否和我们有同样的感受 可推断，当研究人员谈论这个问题时，他们听起来是慎重的。故选A。

五、阅读理解
A
Most of us want to get in shape and be healthy. For many of us nutrition (营养) and watching what we eat is an important way to stay healthy. But when it comes to food, what is calorie counting, and what are the positives and negatives of it
A law in the UK came into force in April 2022 that requires restaurants, takeaways, and cafes to display the calorie information of non-pre-packed food and soft drinks on their menus. It's a strategy aimed to deal with obesity (肥胖) and give people a more informed choice of what goes down into their stomachs. Being able to count calories and know how much we can eat is a great way to try and stay on track with our diet.
However, there are some disbelievers when it comes to calorie counting. 200 calories of fresh fruit and 200 calories of junk food, for example cookies, have the same caloric value. However, there is a question of the health benefits of what you're eating, regardless of calories. While fresh fruit like apples contains things like vitamin C, junk food could contain an unhealthy level of sugar and fats. Likewise (同样地), fruit may fill you up and leave you not wanting more food for longer than a biscuit with equal calories - meaning, overall, you eat less.
Simply counting calories, while useful for weight loss, doesn't take into account your intake of good fats, carbohydrates, and proteins - things that your body needs. So, if you're trying to stick to a low-carbon diet, just looking at numbers of calories on a menu won't be that useful. So, always be mindful that what you're eating is part of a healthy balanced diet.
46．What's the aim of the newly-passed law in the UK
A．To ensure food security. B．To direct the food industry.
C．To help reduce obesity. D．To get tough with the businessmen.
47．What opinion do disbelievers hold
A．Calorie alone doesn't contribute to health.
B．Junk food has more calories than fresh fruit.
C．Less calories mean less food in your stomach.
D．Sugar and fats are more harmful than calories.
48．What's the text mainly about
A．The best way to keep in shape.
B．A research result of obesity in the UK.
C．Nutrition and its health benefit.
D．Opinions and comments on calorie counting.
49．From which section of a magazine is this text most likely taken
A．Entertainment. B．Lifestyle. C．Finance. D．Education.
B
A shaking head, new heart colours and a familiar goose are among a new group of emojis (表情符号) set to be released (发布) this year.
Unicode Consortiumlist contains only 31 new emojis, much smaller than last year's 112 emojis, which included pregnant people and a low battery sign. The goose emoji has drawn comparisons to the hit game Untitled Goose Game, where players take control of a horrible goose. The release has gained a mostly positive response online.
The chosen emojis are selected by Unicode Consortium, a non-profit organization in California. Keith Broni, editor in chief of Emojipedia, said "The Unicode emoji subcommittee want to take more time to consider what symbols we can add to represent what we know or experiences we have had — things like a shaking face or the pink hearts."
He mentioned people were excited to see the pink heart emoji finally included, but he was particularly interested in the use of the shaking head. "It is most likely to be used when we are mentally or physically shook," he said, "But there is a lot behind this - how can we communicate what happens to a person when they're undergoing an earthquake
He added that their designer probably took a healthy inspiration" from the goose video game for the relevant emoji - but it has meaning beyond that. "In the case of the goose, the concept (概念) goes back to how we use language in an expressive way." He said, "What other things can we say with these emojis How can we forget the English idiom' silly goose5 " Through the emoji, that English language idiom becomes a piece of knowledge that can be represented across cultures.
50．What emoji was inspired by a hit game
A．Shaking head. B．Pregnant people.
C．A low battery. D．Goose.
51．What's people's attitude to the newly released emojis
A．Doubtful. B．Disappointed. C．Welcome. D．Indifferent.
52．What do we know about the selection of new emojis
A．People vote for the selection of new emojis.
B．Not all the emojis created will be admitted officially.
C．Designers decide the entry of the emojis.
D．Only those widely used emojis can be chosen.
53．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Emojis are more than a way of daily expression.
B．English idioms found their way through emojis.
C．Different cultures may contain the same expression.
D．The Goose emoji originated from the phrase "silly goose".

When you encounter animals, do you wonder what they're thinking Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions (情感) in us, but what are they thinking Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they're feeling - or are they feeling nothing at all
