It was a rainy day and I was walking down the street feeling comfortable and happy. I wanted to do something kind for someone else without any reason and purpose, almost as if I was just trying to spread the abundance (充足) of love I was receiving. It was then that I saw a teenage girl dressed in tattered clothes, getting soaked(湿透). She wasn't wearing any shoes or socks. The rain wet her skin through the holes in her clothes and she was making her way through the garbage, trying to find something that would be of use to her.
I walked towards her and told her to wait for me there while I ran home to get her something. On getting home, I took off my shoes, which I really loved, wrapped them up in a plastic cover and ran to give them to the teenage girl on the street.
The girl looked surprised as if she was not used to this kind of kindness. She thanked me in a trembling (颤抖的) voice.
A famous musician who lives down the street corner stopped his car and smiled when he saw what happened. The two watchmen who saw me do this talked and gave me friendly looks.
Although I had to wear my dad's shoes, I was satisfied even if they were a bit large for my feet, because I knew the girl would walk comfortably wearing the shoes. That day I learned that letting go off the little things we own can be a big help to others.

Scientists in Michigan have developed a forest fire alarm system. It can not only monitor when a fire begins but also call for help. This battery-free device hangs in a tree and gains all the energy it needs from the natural swinging of branches. Such a sensor (传感器) could watch the woods for a decade without humans' attention.
"For forest fire monitoring, you don't need high amounts of energy," says Cao Changyong, an engineer at Michigan State University, who led the team behind the new device. It recharges itself about every 10 minutes with just enough power to take a measurement. That's plenty of time, Cao says, "to produce enough energy."
There's an obvious need for fast monitoring of faraway forests. Every year, fires burn millions of acres in the United States. Early findings also can save lives. Right now, forest fires are found from satellites or fire towers. Neither, Cao says, is as fast or low-cost as tree-hanging sensors would be.
Cao's group faced some challenges in creating its new sensors. For example, these have to produce enough power to check the forest and send out a signal and that power source has to be used for longer time. To deal with the problems, they decided to change mechanical motion (机械运动) into electricity. The device to do this is known as a TENG short for triboelectric nanogenerator. Scientists have explored TENGS as one way to gain energy from the natural world, including harvesting energy from effects on tabletops, falling rain-even keyboards. The new TENG for forest use produces a current (电流) when a tree branch swings. That current is small, yet enough to power a thermometer (温度计) to monitor the temperature changes signaling fire.
Cao says his team's new model has not yet been tested over long time periods in the real world, but the device is ready. All he needs now is the money to build more of them.
5．What is special about Cao's sensor
A．It can save lives. B．It is shaped like a branch.
C．It is self-powered. D．It keeps power for about a day.
6．Which of the following is the benefit of the fire alarm system
A．Recharging every minute. B．Monitoring the forest fires.
C．Measuring at a slow speed. D．Working for a longer time.
7．What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Sending out a signal when a fire breaks out.
B．Producing enough power to check the forest.
C．Turning mechanical energy into electrical power.
D．Monitoring the temperature changes signaling a fire.
8．What problem is Cao's new model facing for its long-time test
A．It doesn't work. B．It is of no use in fact.
C．It needs enough money. D．It isn't easily performed.
【答案】5．C
6．B
7．C
8．C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Cao Changyong团队的自动充电森林火灾报警器的运作机制、优点以及推广应用测试需求。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和代词指代两个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，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。
5．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"It recharges itself about every 10 minutes with just enough power to take a measurement."它大约每10分钟自己充电一次，电量刚好够进行测量。可知，Cao的传感器不需要电池驱动，并未提及传感器的外形以及续航能力，传感器不能救命，因此Cao的传感器的特点是自充电。故选C。
6．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Right now, forest fires are found from satellites or fire towers. Neither, Cao says, is as fast or low-cost as tree-hanging sensors would be."现在森林火灾是通过卫星或消防塔发现的。曹说，这两种监控方式都不如挂在树上的传感器速度快，成本低。可知，Cao的传感器监控火灾的能力比传统的监控方式效率高且成本低，因此火灾报警系统的好处是监控森林火灾。故选B。
7．考查代词指代。根据第四段中的"To deal with the problems, they decided to change mechanical motion into electricity."为了解决这些问题，他们决定把机械运动变成电。可知，为了解决动力源的问题，他们决定将机械能转化为电能，因此this指代的是上文的"将机械能转化为电能"。故选C。
8．考查细节理解。根据最后一段"Cao says his team's new model has not yet been tested over long time periods in the real world, but the device is ready. All he needs now is the money to build more of them."Cao说，他的团队的新模型还没有在现实世界中经过长时间的测试，但设备已经准备好了。他现在需要的只是钱来建造更多的设备。可知，Cao的团队需要资金制造设备用于现实应用测试，因此Cao的团队的新模型投入长期测试需要资金支持。故选C。

Do you have cold feet in winter But now if you wear a pair of UGG boots, you won't be troubled by that.
UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots. UGG boots became popular among shearers (剪羊毛的人) in the 1920s.The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep, wrapped it around their feet and called them "Ugly Boots". Good old Australian slang shortened Shearers Ugly Boots to UGG boots. Thus UGG Boots date back as far as the 1920s in Australia.
UGG boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to the feet. The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable. UGG boots felt more like socks than shoes, yet they are tough enough for outdoor wear.
Our UGG boots are handmade with Australian sheepskin of the highest quality by our factory of UGG Original Pty Ltd.
We can wear UGG boots in cold weather or summer. In cold weather, the thick wool of UGG boots provides a preventing layer of warmth by trapping your body heat. In the heat of summer, the natural fibres of the wool will actually cool your feet by absorbing sweat. UGG boots are made to be worn barefoot to maximize the cushioning and warmth provided by the sheepskin.

【点评】考查阅读理解，包含细节理解题、推理判断题，是一篇介绍类阅读，注意先略读文章，掌握文章大意，再分析题干及选项，到文中找到相关内容并进行理解。
9．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots. UGG boots became popular among shearers (剪羊毛的人) in the 1920s.The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep, wrapped it around their feet and called them‘Ugly Boots’. Good old Australian slang shortened Shearers Ugly Boots to UGG boots.”UGG的意思是澳大利亚羊皮靴。UGG靴子在20世纪20年代开始在剪羊毛的人中流行。剪羊毛的人们剪羊毛，抓一点死羊，把它裹在脚上，并称之为“丑陋的靴子”。古老的澳大利亚俚语将Shearers Ugly Boots缩短为UGG Boots。可推知，第一双UGG靴子是由剪羊毛的人制作的。故选A。
10．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“UGG boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to the feet. The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable.”可知，UGG靴子之所以如此流行，是因为它能给双脚带来惊人的舒适感，羊皮做得非常柔软，所以靴子既暖和又舒适。可知，UGG靴子是温暖舒适的。故选B。
11．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Why not pick up your phone and contact us right now at www..au. ”为什么不现在就拿起你的电话，在www..au.上联系我们呢？，可知这篇文章的目的是为UGG靴子做广告。故选B。
4. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
If history is "a race between education and catastrophe", education seemed until recently to be winning. In 1950 only about half of adults globally had any schooling; now at least 85% do. Between 2000 and 2018, the proportion（比例）of school-age children who were not enrolled（使加入）in classes fell from 26％ to 17％. But the rapid rise in attendance masked an ugly truth: many pupils were spending years behind desks but learning almost nothing. In 2019 the World Bank started keeping count of the number of children who still cannot read by the time they finish primary school. It found that less than half of ten-year-olds in developing countries could read and understand a simple story.
Then the pandemic struck and millions of pupils were locked out of school. It should be noted that globally, the harm that school closures have done to children has vastly outweighed any benefits they may have had for public health. The World Bank says the share of ten-year-olds in middle-and low-income countries who cannot read and understand a simple story has risen from 57% in 2019 to roughly 70%. If they lack such elementary skills, they will struggle to earn a good living.
This should be seen for what it is: a global emergency. Nearly every problem that confronts humanity can be alleviated by good schooling. Better-educated people are more likely to work out a cleaner energy source, a cure for malaria or a smarter town plan. If the damage the pandemic has done to education is not reversed（逆转）, all these goals will be harder to reach.
Politicians talk endlessly about the importance of schooling, but words are cheap and a fit-for-purpose education system is not. Spending has risen modestly in recent decades but fell in many countries during the pandemic. Apart from the money, the education system itself is in urgent need of change: Testing is a mess, leading governments to overestimate levels of literacy. New teachers have been hired but not trained properly. Teachers, who have come through the same education systems they are supposed to be improving, often struggle to teach.
The same energy that was once poured into building schools and filling up classrooms should now be used to improve the lessons that take place within them. No more children should stumble（蹒跚而行）through their school days without learning to read or add up.
12．What did the World Bank find out about pupils in 2019
A．They could hardly concentrate in class.
B．Many of them had to drop out of school.
C．They had difficulty finishing primary school.
D．Many of them failed to acquire necessary knowledge.
13．What does the author say about school closures
A．They could well protect children's health.
B．They made matters worse for children.
C．They produced unexpected benefits for public health.
D．They made it hard for teachers to make a good living.
14．What does the underlined word "alleviated" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．reduced B．caused C．described D．strengthened
15．What change needs to be made to the current education system
A．Primary schools should only hire experienced teachers.
B．Teachers should be motivated to cooperate with each other.
C．A reliable system should be created to test pupils' knowledge and ability.
D．Primary schools should spend more on improving facilities.
【答案】12．D
13．B

15．C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，文章主要阐述了新冠疫情对教育的影响，以及针对目前现状应该采取的措施。世界银行的统计结果表明欠发达国家孩童的知识水平较低，没有掌握必要的知识技能，而疫情导致学校关闭加重了这种糟糕的情况。作者认为应该改良教育体系，培训教师，提升教学让更多孩童掌握知识和能力。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题、词义题和推断题三种常考题型，细节题要注意从文中寻找答案；推断题需要联系上下文，推断出需要的信息；词义题可结合知识背景和上下文语境来推断词义。
12．考查细节理解。根据第一段最后两句“In 2019 the World Bank started keeping count of the number of children who still cannot read by the time they finish primary school. It found that less than half of ten-year-olds in developing countries could read and understand a simple story.”2019年，世界银行开始统计小学毕业时仍不能阅读的儿童人数。研究发现，发展中国家只有不到一半的10岁儿童能够阅读和理解一个简单的故事。可知，世界银行的统计发现发展中国家超过一半的十岁儿童还不能阅读和理解一个简单的故事，即许多学生未能获得必要的知识，缺乏基本的知识能力。故选D。
13．考查推理判断。根据第二段“Then the pandemic struck and millions of pupils were locked out of school. It should be noted that globally, the harm that school closures have done to children has vastly outweighed any benefits they may have had for public health. ”随后新冠疫情爆发，数百万学生被学校拒之门外。应该指出的是，在全球范围内，学校关闭对儿童造成的伤害远远超过了他们对公共健康可能带来的任何好处。以及第一段世界银行的统计结果可知，作者认为疫情导致学校关闭让孩子们的处境变得更糟。故选B。
14．考查词义猜测。根据第三段中划线词所在句子后面的内容“Better-educated people are more likely to work out a cleaner energy source, a cure for malaria or a smarter town plan. If the damage the pandemic has done to education is not reversed（逆转）, all these goals will be harder to reach.”受教育程度较高的人更有可能开发出更清洁的能源、治疗疟疾的方法或更明智的城镇规划。如果大流行对教育造成的损害得不到扭转，所有这些目标都将更难实现。可知，受教育程度较高的人更有可能找到解决问题的办法。由此可知，划线词所在句“Nearly every problem that confronts humanity can be alleviated by good schooling.(人类面临的几乎所有问题都可以通过良好的学校教育得到alleviated。)”表达的意思为良好的教育能够缓解人类遇到的几乎所有问题，划线词alleviated与reduce意思相近。故选A。
15．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Apart from the money, the education system itself is in urgent need of change: Testing is a mess, leading governments to overestimate levels of literacy. New teachers have been hired but not trained properly. Teachers, who have come through the same education systems they are supposed to be improving, often struggle to teach.”除了钱，教育系统本身也迫切需要改变：考试是一团糟，导致政府高估识字水平。雇用了新教师，但没有得到适当的培训。教师来自他们应该改进的相同教育体系，但往往难以教学。可知，应该建立一个可靠的系统来测试学生的知识和能力。故选C。
5. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Twenty years ago, German-born Kathrin von Rechenberg left Paris, France, where she used to work for some luxury brands. She didn't leave to make a fortune. In search of a particular kind of material called fragrant cloud organza（香云纱）, she came to Shunde, a small city in South China's Guangdong Province.
Rechenberg has a passion for making clothes at a very young age. When she was 11, she made her first dress by herself. Then she went to a specialized school for three years to improve her skills in clothes making. After earning the first prize in a clothesmaking competition in Germany, she won a full scholarship from the top haute couture（高级女式时装）school in Paris. There, she worked for famous haute couture houses as an honor graduate.
But instead of following the steps of some famous designers in haute couture houses, she simply quit her job, and made her way to China to explore the beauty of fragrant cloud organza. As a result, she created her own brand, Rechenberg Art Couture, and found a way to express her own philosophy in making clothes.
Rechenberg learned that the production of the material involves more than 30 intervals of dyeing（染色）and natural drying at each interval, while the last step is to cover the fabrics with mud so that the latter's rich iron elements can react with the tannic acid and silk fiber to change the colors. After the dyeing, the fabrics must stand for years before the entire process is completed. However, such materials nourished （滋养） by the natural soil, water, and sunshine have a unique energy and become fabrics that can "breathe".
She draws inspiration from geometric lines and architectural shapes and reduces unnecessary tailoring to preserve the original art design as much as possible. For Rechenberg, a perfect cut should be precise and smooth, just like Chinese calligraphy, which is often finished at one stretch. In addition, she always avoids complicated decorations. "Making clothes is about taking off things unnecessary, and you have more strength when it is kept simple, "she said.
In 2020, Rechenberg was awarded the title of friendship ambassador of China's textile intangible cultural heritage. Meanwhile, her own brand has become increasingly popular.
16．Why did Rechenberg come to Shunde
A．To earn fame and fortune.
B．To seek for a special material.
C．To share her work experience.
D．To learn new skills in making clothes.
17．What words could best describe Rechenberg
A．Confident and committed. B．Curious and considerate.
C．Ambitious and determined. D．Talented and elegant.
18．What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about fragrant cloud organza
A．Its high quality. B．Its unique color.
C．Its storage conditions. D．Its production process.
19．Why is Chinese calligraphy mentioned in paragraph 5
A．To stress the importance of decorating clothes.
B．To show the inspiration for Rechenberg's clothes designing.
C．To explain Rechenberg's concept of clothes tailoring.
D．To state the impact of traditional culture on making fabrics.
【答案】16．B
17．C
18．D
19．C
【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文，介绍了德国人Rechenberg一直在探索一种美丽的布料——中国香云纱并创建自己独特服装品牌的故事。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题、推断题和主旨题三种常考题型，细节题要注意从文中寻找答案；推断题需要联系上下文，推断出需要的信息；主旨题需要通读全文，了解大意之后找出中心思想。
16．考查细节理解。根据文章第一段最后一句“In search of a particular kind of material called fragrant cloud organza（香云纱）, she came to Shunde, a small city in South China's Guangdong Province.”寻找一种特殊的叫做香云纱的材料，她来到了中国南方广东省的一个小城市顺德。可知Rechenberg来到顺德为了寻找一种叫做香云纱的特殊材料。故选B。
17．考查推理判断。根据文章第三段“But instead of following the steps of some famous designers in haute couture houses, she simply quit her job, and made her way to China to explore the beauty of fragrant cloud organza.”但是，她并没有跟随高级时装店的一些著名设计师的脚步，而是干脆辞去了工作，前往中国探索香云纱的美丽。可知，Rechenberg自小就对做衣服感兴趣，并为此潜心学习，取得可以和高级时装店的一些著名设计师共同工作的机会，但是她并不满足，毅然地辞去工作，不断探索，最终创建了属于自己的品牌，所以我们知道她是一个既坚定“determined”又有雄心壮志“ambitious”的人。故选C。
18．考查主旨大意。根据第四段“Rechenberg learned that the production of the material involves more than 30 intervals of dyeing（染色）and natural drying at each interval, while the last step is to cover the fabrics with mud so that the latter's rich iron elements can react with the tannic acid and silk fiber to change the colors. ”Rechenberg了解到，这种材料的生产需要30多个时间间隔的染色而且每一次间隔都要自然干燥，而最后一步是用泥浆覆盖织物，使织物富含的铁元素与鞣酸和丝绸纤维反应，从而改变颜色。可知，本段具体介绍了香云纱这种材料的生产过程。故选D。
19．考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“For Rechenberg, a perfect cut should be precise and smooth, just like Chinese caligraphy, which is often finished at one stretch.” 对于Rechenberg来说，完美的切割应该是精确和平滑的，就像中国的印刷术一样，通常是一次性完成的。可知，Rechenberg用中国印刷术是来表达自己对于服装剪裁的理念——一次完成、精确和平滑的切割。故选C。
6. 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
There's no shortage of health food trends on TikTok, but which ones are actually sensible And should you skip any of them altogether We asked registered dietitian Vanessa Rissetto, and here's what you need to know.
Emily Mariko's Salmon Bowl
Made with rice, baked salmon, soy sauce and spicy mayo—and to be clear, there are a lot of different variations of it online—this passes Rissetto's test because it's healthy, fast, easy and has good flavor.
Rissetto says that while she would recommend this recipe, she would also suggest changing the white rice for brown rice for increased nutrients and more fiber.
Healthy Cookie Dough
Cookie dough that's healthy This is too good to be true, right The answer is probably yes.
Rissctto says that while this may be healthy, it probably doesn't taste good.
"I'm certain this tastes like cardboard, "she said."If you don't care about taste—then this is for you. "
Lettuce Water For Sleep
While harmless, the TikTok trend of pouring boiling water over romaine lettuce leaves to make
"lettuce water" for better sleep probably won't cure your sleep disorder—and it probably doesn't taste great, either.
"This is not a thing. There's no evidence to prove it, "Rissetto said. "Instead, steep a banana peel in boiling water to help aid with sleep. "
Nature's Cereal
As Rissetto points out, it's basically a fruit smoothie bowl.
"I am all for having berries and coconut water, "she said." Nutrition-wise, this has lots of vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. It's basically a fruit salad that would be super refreshing on a hot day or post-workout"
20．What is special about Emily Mariko's salmon bowl
A．It doesn't taste great. B．It is good for health.
C．Its recipe is not fixed. D．It uses two kinds of rice.
21．Which recipe doesn't Rissetto recommend
A．Emily Mariko's salmon bowl. B．Healthy cookie dough.
C．Lettuce water for sleep. D．Nature's cereal.
22．Which food suits you best after playing a football match
A．Emily Mariko's salmon bowl B．Healthy cookie dough.
C．Lettuce water for sleep. D．Nature's cereal.
【答案】20．C
21．C
22．D

20．细节题。根据第一个标题下的“ there are a lot of different variations of it online网上有很多不同的版本”，可知它的配方不是固定的，故选C。
21．细节题。根据第三个标题下的“While harmless, the TikTok trend of pouring boiling water over romaine lettuce leaves to make "lettuce water" for better sleep probably won't cure your sleep disorder—and it probably doesn't taste great, either虽然无害，但TikTok上的一种趋势是把沸水倒在长叶莴苣叶子上改善睡眠的“生菜水”可能并不能治愈你的睡眠障碍，而且它的味道可能也不怎么样”，可知 Lettuce Water For Sleep 是作者不推荐的，故选C。
22．细节题。根据最后一个标题下的“It's basically a fruit salad that would be super refreshing on a hot day or post-workout它基本上是一种水果沙拉，在大热天或锻炼后会非常清爽”，可知Nature's Cereal最适合运动后使用，故选D。

Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today. He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.
Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn't a strong suit for Andy's parents, and that's where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads. This was his introduction to the world of online business.
Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade. When he learned about Amazon
Dropshipping(代发货模式) from a kid he saw on Instagram, he got inspired and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the growth. Instead of considering it a failure, he viewed this experience as a life lesson and learned from his mistakes. Meanwhile, his parents never stopped trying to talk him into focusing on school and their retail business.
"The biggest challenge when starting a business is getting someone to believe in you, "Andy says. He pushed through and did things for himself even when his loved ones discouraged it.
In 2019, Andy met his now business partners, and together, they created an Amazon management company called Project WiFi. This Project has proven to be extremely successful. They currently help over 55 clients run their online businesses, and plan to help many more in the future.
When asked about the secret to his success, Andy says, "Learning to sacrifice whether that's family, friends, or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed, rather than attempting multiple things. If it's worth doing then it's worth doing well with no shortcuts. "
23．Why did Andy work in his parents' shops at a young age
A．Because he could earn some pocket money.
B．Because his parents weren't fluent in English.
C．Because his parents could help with his study.

8. 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Every language and culture has curse words(脏话). What gives a curse word its power is partly its meaning and partly its sound. "In English, for example, curse words tend to contain a high percentage of plosive sounds—including P, T and K, "said Ryan McKay, a psychologist at University of London.
Dr. McKay teamed up with his colleague Shiri Lev-Ari to learn whether this familiar pattern went beyond English. They wondered whether it might even represent what's called sound symbolism. Sound symbolism is when a word sounds like what it means.
The researchers first asked fluent speakers of Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Korean and Russian to list the most vulgar(粗俗的) words they could think of. Once they'd made a list of each language's most frequently used curse words, the researchers compared these with neutral words from the same language. In these languages, they didn't find the plosive sounds that seem common in English curse words. "Instead, we found that the vulgar words were defined by what they lacked: the approximant sounds that include letters I, L, R, W and Y, "Dr. Lev-Ari said.
Next, the scientists invited 215 native speakers of six languages: Arabic, Chinese, Finnish, French, German and Spanish. The participants listened to pairs of words in a language they didn't speak, and guessed which word in each pair was offensive. In reality, all the words were invented. For example, the researchers started with the Albanian word "zog," for "bird, "and created the pair of fake words "yog" and "tsog."Participants were more likely to guess that words without approximants, such as "tsog," were curses.
Finally, the researchers combed through the dictionary for English curse words and their cleaned-up versions. Once again, the clean versions included more of the sounds I, L, R, W and Y.
A 20th-century linguistic(语言学的)principle claimed that the sounds of words were arbitrary: Any word could have any meaning. With curse words, though, as in other cases of sound symbolism, "the sounds themselves seem to carry meaning, "said Lev-Ari." That's a new thing, "said linguist Benjamin Bergen." Curse words across languages, unrelated to each other, may pattern similarly. "He also pointed out, to make sure the pattern of approximants missing from curses isn't an accident, it would be nice to find it in an even larger sample of languages.
27．What is the purpose of McKay and Lev-Ari's research
A．To analyze a phenomenon. B．To confirm an assumption.
C．To explain a definition. D．To challenge a theory.
28．What were the participants asked to do in the second part of the research
A．To decide which curse words are used more frequently.
B．To make up new curse words from real words.
C．To guess a word's offensiveness according to its sound.
D．To identify the approximants in curse words.
29．According to Lev-Ari, which of the four is likely to sound offensive
A．tusck B．sola C．darn D．biach
30．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The old linguistic principle of sounds and meanings is wrong.
B．In sound symbolism, a word's sound represents its meaning.
C．The research reveals the similarities between different languages.
D．The result of the research is not fully accepted by scientists.
【答案】27．B
28．C
29．A
30．D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Dr. McKay和他的同事Shiri Lev-Ari对于部分语言中的脏话的研究过程和成果。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题和推断题两种常考题型，细节题要注意通过关键词从文中寻找答案；推断题需要对已有信息进行加工处理，推断出需要的信息。
27．细节题。根据第二段中的“Dr. McKay teamed up with his colleague Shiri Lev-Ari to learn whether this familiar pattern went beyond English凯博士与他的同事希里·列弗-阿里(Shiri Lev-Ari)合作，研究这种熟悉的模式是否适用于英语以外的语言”，可知研究的目的是为了确实这个假设“这种熟悉的模式是否适用于英语以外的语言”，故选B。
28．细节题。根据第四段中的“Next接下来”和“The participants listened to pairs of words in a language they didn't speak, and guessed which word in each pair was offensive参与者听了几组他们不会说的语言的单词，并猜测每组单词中哪个是冒犯性的”，可知研究的第二部分是参与者们被要求根据发音猜测单词是否是冒犯性的，故选C。
29．细节题。根据第五段中的“Once again, the clean versions included more of the sounds I, L, R, W and Y再一次，干净的版本包含了更多的I、L、R、W和Y的声音”，结合选项，可知选项A中不含I,L,R,W和Y这些字母的发音，故选A。
30．推断题。根据最后一段中的“He also pointed out, to make sure the pattern of approximants missing from curses isn't an accident, it would be nice to find it in an even larger sample of languages他还指出，为了确保诅咒中缺少近似值的模式不是偶然，最好能在更大的语言样本中找到它”，可知这个研究成果还需要更大范围内的验证，科学家们还没有完全接受研究的结果，故选D。

When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also（and am still）a high school track and field coach（田径教练）. One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and that I would be willing to coach him in whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.
About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you're so good at it."John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason." From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical（挑别的）students can be of themselves, I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it! "can go a long way!

It was a rainy day and I was walking down the street feeling comfortable and happy. I wanted to do something kind for someone else without any reason and purpose, almost as if I was just trying to spread the abundance (充足) of love I was receiving. It was then that I saw a teenage girl dressed in tattered clothes, getting soaked(湿透). She wasn't wearing any shoes or socks. The rain wet her skin through the holes in her clothes and she was making her way through the garbage, trying to find something that would be of use to her.
I walked towards her and told her to wait for me there while I ran home to get her something. On getting home, I took off my shoes, which I really loved, wrapped them up in a plastic cover and ran to give them to the teenage girl on the street.
The girl looked surprised as if she was not used to this kind of kindness. She thanked me in a trembling (颤抖的) voice.
A famous musician who lives down the street corner stopped his car and smiled when he saw what happened. The two watchmen who saw me do this talked and gave me friendly looks.
Although I had to wear my dad's shoes, I was satisfied even if they were a bit large for my feet, because I knew the girl would walk comfortably wearing the shoes. That day I learned that letting go off the little things we own can be a big help to others.

Scientists in Michigan have developed a forest fire alarm system. It can not only monitor when a fire begins but also call for help. This battery-free device hangs in a tree and gains all the energy it needs from the natural swinging of branches. Such a sensor (传感器) could watch the woods for a decade without humans' attention.
"For forest fire monitoring, you don't need high amounts of energy," says Cao Changyong, an engineer at Michigan State University, who led the team behind the new device. It recharges itself about every 10 minutes with just enough power to take a measurement. That's plenty of time, Cao says, "to produce enough energy."
There's an obvious need for fast monitoring of faraway forests. Every year, fires burn millions of acres in the United States. Early findings also can save lives. Right now, forest fires are found from satellites or fire towers. Neither, Cao says, is as fast or low-cost as tree-hanging sensors would be.
Cao's group faced some challenges in creating its new sensors. For example, these have to produce enough power to check the forest and send out a signal and that power source has to be used for longer time. To deal with the problems, they decided to change mechanical motion (机械运动) into electricity. The device to do this is known as a TENG short for triboelectric nanogenerator. Scientists have explored TENGS as one way to gain energy from the natural world, including harvesting energy from effects on tabletops, falling rain-even keyboards. The new TENG for forest use produces a current (电流) when a tree branch swings. That current is small, yet enough to power a thermometer (温度计) to monitor the temperature changes signaling fire.
Cao says his team's new model has not yet been tested over long time periods in the real world, but the device is ready. All he needs now is the money to build more of them.
5．What is special about Cao's sensor
A．It can save lives. B．It is shaped like a branch.
C．It is self-powered. D．It keeps power for about a day.
6．Which of the following is the benefit of the fire alarm system
A．Recharging every minute. B．Monitoring the forest fires.
C．Measuring at a slow speed. D．Working for a longer time.
7．What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Sending out a signal when a fire breaks out.
B．Producing enough power to check the forest.
C．Turning mechanical energy into electrical power.
D．Monitoring the temperature changes signaling a fire.
8．What problem is Cao's new model facing for its long-time test
A．It doesn't work. B．It is of no use in fact.
C．It needs enough money. D．It isn't easily performed.

Do you have cold feet in winter But now if you wear a pair of UGG boots, you won't be troubled by that.
UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots. UGG boots became popular among shearers (剪羊毛的人) in the 1920s.The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep, wrapped it around their feet and called them "Ugly Boots". Good old Australian slang shortened Shearers Ugly Boots to UGG boots. Thus UGG Boots date back as far as the 1920s in Australia.
UGG boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to the feet. The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable. UGG boots felt more like socks than shoes, yet they are tough enough for outdoor wear.
Our UGG boots are handmade with Australian sheepskin of the highest quality by our factory of UGG Original Pty Ltd.
We can wear UGG boots in cold weather or summer. In cold weather, the thick wool of UGG boots provides a preventing layer of warmth by trapping your body heat. In the heat of summer, the natural fibres of the wool will actually cool your feet by absorbing sweat. UGG boots are made to be worn barefoot to maximize the cushioning and warmth provided by the sheepskin.
Why not pick up your phone and contact us right now at www..au.
9．Who made the first pair of UGG boots according to the passage
A．Shearers. B．Travelers. C．Workers. D．Campers.
10．Which of the following words can be used to describe the UGG boots
A．Ugly and hard. B．Comfortable and warm.
C．Strong and warm. D．Cheap and tough.
11．The purpose of writing the passage is to ________.
A．persuade B．advertise C．inform D．instruct
4. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
If history is "a race between education and catastrophe", education seemed until recently to be winning. In 1950 only about half of adults globally had any schooling; now at least 85% do. Between 2000 and 2018, the proportion（比例）of school-age children who were not enrolled（使加入）in classes fell from 26％ to 17％. But the rapid rise in attendance masked an ugly truth: many pupils were spending years behind desks but learning almost nothing. In 2019 the World Bank started keeping count of the number of children who still cannot read by the time they finish primary school. It found that less than half of ten-year-olds in developing countries could read and understand a simple story.
Then the pandemic struck and millions of pupils were locked out of school. It should be noted that globally, the harm that school closures have done to children has vastly outweighed any benefits they may have had for public health. The World Bank says the share of ten-year-olds in middle-and low-income countries who cannot read and understand a simple story has risen from 57% in 2019 to roughly 70%. If they lack such elementary skills, they will struggle to earn a good living.
This should be seen for what it is: a global emergency. Nearly every problem that confronts humanity can be alleviated by good schooling. Better-educated people are more likely to work out a cleaner energy source, a cure for malaria or a smarter town plan. If the damage the pandemic has done to education is not reversed（逆转）, all these goals will be harder to reach.
Politicians talk endlessly about the importance of schooling, but words are cheap and a fit-for-purpose education system is not. Spending has risen modestly in recent decades but fell in many countries during the pandemic. Apart from the money, the education system itself is in urgent need of change: Testing is a mess, leading governments to overestimate levels of literacy. New teachers have been hired but not trained properly. Teachers, who have come through the same education systems they are supposed to be improving, often struggle to teach.
The same energy that was once poured into building schools and filling up classrooms should now be used to improve the lessons that take place within them. No more children should stumble（蹒跚而行）through their school days without learning to read or add up.
12．What did the World Bank find out about pupils in 2019
A．They could hardly concentrate in class.
B．Many of them had to drop out of school.
C．They had difficulty finishing primary school.
D．Many of them failed to acquire necessary knowledge.
13．What does the author say about school closures
A．They could well protect children's health.
B．They made matters worse for children.
C．They produced unexpected benefits for public health.
D．They made it hard for teachers to make a good living.
14．What does the underlined word "alleviated" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．reduced B．caused C．described D．strengthened
15．What change needs to be made to the current education system
A．Primary schools should only hire experienced teachers.
B．Teachers should be motivated to cooperate with each other.
C．A reliable system should be created to test pupils' knowledge and ability.
D．Primary schools should spend more on improving facilities.

Twenty years ago, German-born Kathrin von Rechenberg left Paris, France, where she used to work for some luxury brands. She didn't leave to make a fortune. In search of a particular kind of material called fragrant cloud organza（香云纱）, she came to Shunde, a small city in South China's Guangdong Province.
Rechenberg has a passion for making clothes at a very young age. When she was 11, she made her first dress by herself. Then she went to a specialized school for three years to improve her skills in clothes making. After earning the first prize in a clothesmaking competition in Germany, she won a full scholarship from the top haute couture（高级女式时装）school in Paris. There, she worked for famous haute couture houses as an honor graduate.
But instead of following the steps of some famous designers in haute couture houses, she simply quit her job, and made her way to China to explore the beauty of fragrant cloud organza. As a result, she created her own brand, Rechenberg Art Couture, and found a way to express her own philosophy in making clothes.
Rechenberg learned that the production of the material involves more than 30 intervals of dyeing（染色）and natural drying at each interval, while the last step is to cover the fabrics with mud so that the latter's rich iron elements can react with the tannic acid and silk fiber to change the colors. After the dyeing, the fabrics must stand for years before the entire process is completed. However, such materials nourished （滋养） by the natural soil, water, and sunshine have a unique energy and become fabrics that can "breathe".
She draws inspiration from geometric lines and architectural shapes and reduces unnecessary tailoring to preserve the original art design as much as possible. For Rechenberg, a perfect cut should be precise and smooth, just like Chinese calligraphy, which is often finished at one stretch. In addition, she always avoids complicated decorations. "Making clothes is about taking off things unnecessary, and you have more strength when it is kept simple, "she said.
In 2020, Rechenberg was awarded the title of friendship ambassador of China's textile intangible cultural heritage. Meanwhile, her own brand has become increasingly popular.
16．Why did Rechenberg come to Shunde
A．To earn fame and fortune.
B．To seek for a special material.
C．To share her work experience.
D．To learn new skills in making clothes.
17．What words could best describe Rechenberg
A．Confident and committed. B．Curious and considerate.
C．Ambitious and determined. D．Talented and elegant.
18．What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about fragrant cloud organza
A．Its high quality. B．Its unique color.
C．Its storage conditions. D．Its production process.
19．Why is Chinese calligraphy mentioned in paragraph 5
A．To stress the importance of decorating clothes.
B．To show the inspiration for Rechenberg's clothes designing.
C．To explain Rechenberg's concept of clothes tailoring.
D．To state the impact of traditional culture on making fabrics.

There's no shortage of health food trends on TikTok, but which ones are actually sensible And should you skip any of them altogether We asked registered dietitian Vanessa Rissetto, and here's what you need to know.
Emily Mariko's Salmon Bowl
Made with rice, baked salmon, soy sauce and spicy mayo—and to be clear, there are a lot of different variations of it online—this passes Rissetto's test because it's healthy, fast, easy and has good flavor.
Rissetto says that while she would recommend this recipe, she would also suggest changing the white rice for brown rice for increased nutrients and more fiber.
Healthy Cookie Dough
Cookie dough that's healthy This is too good to be true, right The answer is probably yes.
Rissctto says that while this may be healthy, it probably doesn't taste good.
"I'm certain this tastes like cardboard, "she said."If you don't care about taste—then this is for you. "
Lettuce Water For Sleep
While harmless, the TikTok trend of pouring boiling water over romaine lettuce leaves to make
"lettuce water" for better sleep probably won't cure your sleep disorder—and it probably doesn't taste great, either.
"This is not a thing. There's no evidence to prove it, "Rissetto said. "Instead, steep a banana peel in boiling water to help aid with sleep. "
Nature's Cereal
As Rissetto points out, it's basically a fruit smoothie bowl.
"I am all for having berries and coconut water, "she said." Nutrition-wise, this has lots of vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. It's basically a fruit salad that would be super refreshing on a hot day or post-workout"
20．What is special about Emily Mariko's salmon bowl
A．It doesn't taste great. B．It is good for health.
C．Its recipe is not fixed. D．It uses two kinds of rice.
21．Which recipe doesn't Rissetto recommend
A．Emily Mariko's salmon bowl. B．Healthy cookie dough.
C．Lettuce water for sleep. D．Nature's cereal.
22．Which food suits you best after playing a football match
A．Emily Mariko's salmon bowl B．Healthy cookie dough.
C．Lettuce water for sleep. D．Nature's cereal.

Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today. He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.
Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn't a strong suit for Andy's parents, and that's where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads.

Every language and culture has curse words(脏话). What gives a curse word its power is partly its meaning and partly its sound. "In English, for example, curse words tend to contain a high percentage of plosive sounds—including P, T and K, "said Ryan McKay, a psychologist at University of London.
Dr. McKay teamed up with his colleague Shiri Lev-Ari to learn whether this familiar pattern went beyond English. They wondered whether it might even represent what's called sound symbolism. Sound symbolism is when a word sounds like what it means.
The researchers first asked fluent speakers of Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Korean and Russian to list the most vulgar(粗俗的) words they could think of. Once they'd made a list of each language's most frequently used curse words, the researchers compared these with neutral words from the same language. In these languages, they didn't find the plosive sounds that seem common in English curse words. "Instead, we found that the vulgar words were defined by what they lacked: the approximant sounds that include letters I, L, R, W and Y, "Dr. Lev-Ari said.
Next, the scientists invited 215 native speakers of six languages: Arabic, Chinese, Finnish, French, German and Spanish. The participants listened to pairs of words in a language they didn't speak, and guessed which word in each pair was offensive. In reality, all the words were invented. For example, the researchers started with the Albanian word "zog," for "bird, "and created the pair of fake words "yog" and "tsog."Participants were more likely to guess that words without approximants, such as "tsog," were curses.
Finally, the researchers combed through the dictionary for English curse words and their cleaned-up versions. Once again, the clean versions included more of the sounds I, L, R, W and Y.
A 20th-century linguistic(语言学的)principle claimed that the sounds of words were arbitrary: Any word could have any meaning. With curse words, though, as in other cases of sound symbolism, "the sounds themselves seem to carry meaning, "said Lev-Ari." That's a new thing, "said linguist Benjamin Bergen." Curse words across languages, unrelated to each other, may pattern similarly. "He also pointed out, to make sure the pattern of approximants missing from curses isn't an accident, it would be nice to find it in an even larger sample of languages.
27．What is the purpose of McKay and Lev-Ari's research
A．To analyze a phenomenon. B．To confirm an assumption.
C．To explain a definition. D．To challenge a theory.
28．What were the participants asked to do in the second part of the research
A．To decide which curse words are used more frequently.
B．To make up new curse words from real words.
C．To guess a word's offensiveness according to its sound.
D．To identify the approximants in curse words.
29．According to Lev-Ari, which of the four is likely to sound offensive
A．tusck B．sola C．darn D．biach
30．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The old linguistic principle of sounds and meanings is wrong.
B．In sound symbolism, a word's sound represents its meaning.
C．The research reveals the similarities between different languages.
D．The result of the research is not fully accepted by scientists.
9. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also（and am still）a high school track and field coach（田径教练）. One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and that I would be willing to coach him in whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.
About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you're so good at it."John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason." From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical（挑别的）students can be of themselves, I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it! "can go a long way!
