When it comes to the most famous 20th-century painters of the United States, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself: "I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more active old age.
She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff(僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time.
Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death, she produced more than 1,000 pictures: careful and vivid descriptions of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it," she said.
4. What can we infer about Grandma Moses from Paragraph 1
A. She didn't like being old. B. She stayed active in old age.
C. She preferred to live alone. D. She enjoyed a simple life.
5. What did Grandma Moses spend most of her life doing

C. They were donated to the local museum.

After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.
Unlike common gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, stand-alone rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.
Every four-square-meter room is equipped with a treadmill(跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. There's no shower or washbasin.
Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by a smartphone application, reserve a room ahead of time and then need to scan(扫描) a QR code to unlock the door. A refundable deposit(押金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 1 yuan every 5 minutes.
The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within several months since it was founded, the company has already raised over 100 million yuan, Yicai Global reports. The idea of the shared fitness experience is not entirely nascent. Last December, the Shanghai-based technology company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.
The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident investors are pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Center published a report which predicts that the total value of China's sharing economy will see yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to make a great contribution to the country's GDP.
8. What makes the shared gym room special
A. Offering open spaces. B. Standing in the living zone.
C. Holding one person at a time. D. Having some advanced equipment.
9. What do people need to do to use the shared gym room
A. Book in advance. B. Pay 100yuan first.
C. Scan a QR code to register. D. Share a smartphone application.
10. What does the underlined word "nascent" in paragraph 5 mean
A. Simple. B. Popular. C. Satisfying. D. New.
11. What is the author's purpose of writing the text
A. To introduce shared gym rooms.
B. To advertise a technology company.
C. To support the shared gym rooms.
D. To promote the sharing economy.
D
The icy waters surrounding Antarctica have long been called the Southern Ocean by scientists. However, it never received the official recognition it deserved—until now. On World Oceans Day, the National Geographic Society announced that from now on, there would be five oceans: the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean.
The new ocean will include most of the waters around Antarctica out to 60 degrees south latitude(纬度). Unlike the other oceans, which are divided by the surrounding continents, the extent of the Southern Ocean is determined by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC)—the Earth's longest and strongest oceanic current(洋流).
The ACC encircling Antarctica and flowing from the west to the east was set 34 million years ago when Antarctica broke off from South America, which enables the water to freely flow around Earth's southernmost tip. Its water is colder and less salty than the ocean waters to the north and provides a unique habitat for thousands of species, including whales, penguins, and seals.
National Geographic Society's map policy committee had been considering making the change for many years. However, it is on June 8, 2021 that it recognized the Southern Ocean as the world's fifth ocean. "Our maps are updated. The Southern Ocean is treated the same as the traditional four, and the next quiz question about the number of oceans has an updated official answer from National Geographic Society—five!" the officials declared.
Alex Tait, a National Geographic Society geographer, says that the change draws public attention to protecting the Southern Ocean's unique ocean ecosystem. Tait says the change will have an impact on how children using maps in school learn to see the world. "Students learn information about the ocean world through what oceans you're studying. If you don't include the Southern Ocean then you don't learn the specifics of it and how important it is," he says.
12. How is the Southern Ocean separated
A. By surrounding lands.
B. By an oceanic current.
C. By the habitat for unique species.
D. By 60 degrees south latitude.
13. What can we know about the ACC
A. It keeps flowing in circles. B. It belongs to South America.
C. It broke off from Antarctica. D. It moves freely to the north.
14. What does Alex Tait think of "the change"
A. It will attract people to ocean exploration.
B. It will contribute to the ocean protection.
C. It will help scientists research the ocean system.
D. It will make the Southern Ocean more habitable.
15. What might be the best title for the text
A. The Antarctic Waters Need Attention
B. The Earth Now Officially Has Five Oceans
C. The Feature of the Southern Ocean Is Amazing
D. The World Map Needs Updating All the Time

(1)向他介绍博物馆；
(2)告知博物馆的地点和开放时间。

38. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
You've heard it over and over again: Diet and exercise are the keys to a healthy weight. As it turns out, though, one is far more important than the other. If you want to drop pounds, paying attention to food is your best bet. It's also one of the things doctors wish you knew about losing weight.
Although exercise at the gym can burn fat and calories off, people who only change their diets lose more weight than those who only increase physical activity, according to a report in the journal Systematic Reviews. In fact, another study in the journal PeerJ found that over three years, people who got 30 minutes or more of physical activity a day actually had higher rates of weight gain than those who exercised less. So why isn't gym time the miracle weight-loss machine we've been led to believe
Basically, it's easier to avoid calories in the first place than to try to burn them off. Eating up a 100-calorie cookie is one thing, but it would take hours at the gym to negate (使无效) 1,200 calories from a burger and fries. Working on a 30-minute workout program is easily enough, but turning your entire eating plan on its head is not so much.
If you don't pay attention to portion (一份) sizes, you might eat more after you start a new workout plan. Not only will your desire for food increase naturally from the energy burn, but you might also slack off (松懈) on healthy food choices. Half an hour on the treadmill might cut down 300 calories, but just one slice of cake could totally negate that hard work.
You might have heard that muscle weighs more than fat. That's true, but it doesn't mean you should think the bigger number on the scale is all muscle. "That's a few pounds, not 20 or 30 pounds," say experts. "It's not an excuse for the weight gain." If you've been exercising without results, your diet is probably responsible for it.

6. 考查冠词。根据空后的“most famous”可知，空处位于最高级前，应用定冠词，又因空处位于句首。故填The。
7. 考查介词。根据语境可知，此处表示“有许多品种”，要用介词in。故填in。
8. 考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可知，此处描述客观事实，应用一般现在时。句子的主语为Xuan paper，且Xuan paper与consider之间是动宾关系。故填is considered。
9. 考查非谓语动词。介词By之后要用动词的-ing形式作宾语。故填handling。
10. 考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知，此处在句中作主语，且意为“艺术家”。故填artist。

When it comes to the most famous 20th-century painters of the United States, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself: "I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more active old age.
She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff(僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time.
Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death, she produced more than 1,000 pictures: careful and vivid descriptions of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it," she said.
4. What can we infer about Grandma Moses from Paragraph 1
A. She didn't like being old. B. She stayed active in old age.
C. She preferred to live alone. D. She enjoyed a simple life.
5. What did Grandma Moses spend most of her life doing

C. They were donated to the local museum.

After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.
Unlike common gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, stand-alone rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.
Every four-square-meter room is equipped with a treadmill(跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. There's no shower or washbasin.
Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by a smartphone application, reserve a room ahead of time and then need to scan(扫描) a QR code to unlock the door. A refundable deposit(押金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 1 yuan every 5 minutes.
The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within several months since it was founded, the company has already raised over 100 million yuan, Yicai Global reports. The idea of the shared fitness experience is not entirely nascent. Last December, the Shanghai-based technology company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.
The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident investors are pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Center published a report which predicts that the total value of China's sharing economy will see yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to make a great contribution to the country's GDP.
8. What makes the shared gym room special
A. Offering open spaces. B. Standing in the living zone.
C. Holding one person at a time. D. Having some advanced equipment.
9. What do people need to do to use the shared gym room
A. Book in advance. B. Pay 100yuan first.
C. Scan a QR code to register. D. Share a smartphone application.
10. What does the underlined word "nascent" in paragraph 5 mean
A. Simple. B. Popular. C. Satisfying. D. New.
11. What is the author's purpose of writing the text
A. To introduce shared gym rooms.
B. To advertise a technology company.
C. To support the shared gym rooms.
D. To promote the sharing economy.
D
The icy waters surrounding Antarctica have long been called the Southern Ocean by scientists. However, it never received the official recognition it deserved—until now. On World Oceans Day, the National Geographic Society announced that from now on, there would be five oceans: the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean.
The new ocean will include most of the waters around Antarctica out to 60 degrees south latitude(纬度). Unlike the other oceans, which are divided by the surrounding continents, the extent of the Southern Ocean is determined by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC)—the Earth's longest and strongest oceanic current(洋流).
The ACC encircling Antarctica and flowing from the west to the east was set 34 million years ago when Antarctica broke off from South America, which enables the water to freely flow around Earth's southernmost tip. Its water is colder and less salty than the ocean waters to the north and provides a unique habitat for thousands of species, including whales, penguins, and seals.
National Geographic Society's map policy committee had been considering making the change for many years. However, it is on June 8, 2021 that it recognized the Southern Ocean as the world's fifth ocean. "Our maps are updated. The Southern Ocean is treated the same as the traditional four, and the next quiz question about the number of oceans has an updated official answer from National Geographic Society—five!" the officials declared.
Alex Tait, a National Geographic Society geographer, says that the change draws public attention to protecting the Southern Ocean's unique ocean ecosystem. Tait says the change will have an impact on how children using maps in school learn to see the world. "Students learn information about the ocean world through what oceans you're studying. If you don't include the Southern Ocean then you don't learn the specifics of it and how important it is," he says.
12. How is the Southern Ocean separated
A. By surrounding lands.
B. By an oceanic current.
C. By the habitat for unique species.
D. By 60 degrees south latitude.
13. What can we know about the ACC
A. It keeps flowing in circles. B. It belongs to South America.
C. It broke off from Antarctica. D. It moves freely to the north.
14. What does Alex Tait think of "the change"
A. It will attract people to ocean exploration.
B. It will contribute to the ocean protection.
C. It will help scientists research the ocean system.
D. It will make the Southern Ocean more habitable.
15. What might be the best title for the text
A. The Antarctic Waters Need Attention
B. The Earth Now Officially Has Five Oceans
C. The Feature of the Southern Ocean Is Amazing
D. The World Map Needs Updating All the Time

(1)向他介绍博物馆；

38. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
You've heard it over and over again: Diet and exercise are the keys to a healthy weight. As it turns out, though, one is far more important than the other. If you want to drop pounds, paying attention to food is your best bet. It's also one of the things doctors wish you knew about losing weight.
Although exercise at the gym can burn fat and calories off, people who only change their diets lose more weight than those who only increase physical activity, according to a report in the journal Systematic Reviews. In fact, another study in the journal PeerJ found that over three years, people who got 30 minutes or more of physical activity a day actually had higher rates of weight gain than those who exercised less. So why isn't gym time the miracle weight-loss machine we've been led to believe
Basically, it's easier to avoid calories in the first place than to try to burn them off. Eating up a 100-calorie cookie is one thing, but it would take hours at the gym to negate (使无效) 1,200 calories from a burger and fries. Working on a 30-minute workout program is easily enough, but turning your entire eating plan on its head is not so much.
If you don't pay attention to portion (一份) sizes, you might eat more after you start a new workout plan. Not only will your desire for food increase naturally from the energy burn, but you might also slack off (松懈) on healthy food choices. Half an hour on the treadmill might cut down 300 calories, but just one slice of cake could totally negate that hard work.
You might have heard that muscle weighs more than fat. That's true, but it doesn't mean you should think the bigger number on the scale is all muscle. "That's a few pounds, not 20 or 30 pounds," say experts. "It's not an excuse for the weight gain." If you've been exercising without results, your diet is probably responsible for it.
