第一节(满分25分)
One possible version:
The poem, entitled Minnong, describes a scene where diligent peasants are laboring in the field, with sweat streaming down. It brings readers to reflect on the toil of peasants.
The poem consists of four lines, each containing five syllables respectively. In addition, it possesses an elegant rhyme and rhythm.
Personally, what the poem communicates is that we should be grateful for peasants who work behind the scenes to grow the food, which our society so desperately depends on. It enlightens us to treasure what we have today. Under no circumstances should we waste food!
第二节(满分25分)
命题思路:
这是一篇记叙文。故事通过设置较为真实的情境,考查考生能否运用英语基础知识准确理解文章故事情节,并结合所给文本材料及两个段落首句分析篇章结构、情节脉络,发挥其独立思考能力,展开合理想象。运用英语词汇、语法等基础写作知识技能,完成一篇与给定材料有逻辑衔接、情节和结构的短文。读后续写题型创造性地将“阅读”与“写作”深度结合,能够更加有效地考查考生的综合语言运用能力、思维能力、学习能力和书面表达能力。
文本解读:
商店的 Pipe承载着Joey渴望父爱和期盼长大的情愫。Joey将烟斗带出店铺而后又送回的过程也是Joey内心成长的过程,其中折射出妈妈的信任和店铺老板Mr Dow的包容。
续写段首句解读:
第一段首句的着重点在“his mother would look at him and she would know”,暗示在妈妈的正面影响下,Joey可能做出的抉择,情节凸显妈妈的信任。结合第二段首句,我们可以推断出第一段的结尾应是Joey做出决定——送回烟斗。
第二段首句中的“...knew what he had to do...in a hurry to get it done”提示第二段要介绍Joey怎么还烟斗以及Mr Dow会有什么样的反应,最后升华主题意义:为人诚实,培养优秀品行,不断完善自我,形成正确的人生观。
解题思路:
Para1: Time to go home approaching, his mother would look at him and she would know.
【问题导向】
What would his mother know if he arrived home with pipe
What would his mother say to him
What did his mother’s words mean to him
What was his choice facing the dilemma
Para 2: He now knew what he had to do and he was in a hurry to get it done.
【问题导向】
What did he decide to do
What did he say and do
What did others react
How did he feel
What we can learn from this passage

One possible version:
Time to go home approaching, his mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. He remembered the nice way she said, “You’re a little man now, Joey.” “She trusted me,” he kept saying to himself, a hot tear running down his cheek. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing. His dream of growing up meant nothing.
He now knew what he had to do and he was in a hurry to get it done. He jumped out of the swing and started running. Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. Mr Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside a painful chest. “Mr Dow,” he said at last, “I didn't mean to take it.” “Thanks, Joey! How about helping close up shop ” Mr Dow said and patted him on the shoulder. Joey Felt the warmth of Mr Dow’s big hand and felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.

W: That sounds interesting. I’m British actually, and I came to Washington about three months ago. I’m looking for ways to meet people. Er… what kinds of events do you organize
M: Well, we have social get-togethers, and sports events, and we also have language evenings.
W: Could you tell me something about the language evenings

their languages—you know, over a drink or something. We have different languages on different evenings. Monday—Spanish; Tuesday—Italian; Wednesday—German; and Friday—French. On Thursday we usually have a meal in a restaurant for anyone who wants to come.

M: OK.…. Well, these are $130. Is that too expensive
W: Money doesn’t really matter. What about those $200 shoes I like the pink color.
M: They’re nice shoes, but they’re a lot heavier than the ones I just showed you. Some people say they’re uncomfortable, too.

M: What is the world going to do with all its waste No one seems to care.
W: We are all supposed to be recycling now.
M: I know… but I just don’t think people are interested in doing it. Do you
W: Yes, I separate bottles, plastic, cardboard and paper. I wish they would find a way to recycle batteries as well.
M: You are an example of a good citizen.
W: I wonder if anything is done with the waste when it is collected though. It must be very expensive to deal with it.
M: I heard they send a lot of it to poor countries.
W: That is awful!
M: I thought so at first but now think it is the right thing to do.
W: What How can it be right to pour our trash on poor people
M: Because it is economical for them to deal with it. Their wages are lower so the costs of recycling are lower yet they still earn money.
W: Hmm, maybe. Anyway, I do my bit by separating trash each week.
M: Each week Ours is only collected every fortnight.
W: Really When I lived in the city they had collections every day. My old neighbor is one of them. But I suppose that’s because so many people live there.

W: Happy New Year, students! We hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas, but it's time to get back to work. We have a lot to do between now and your summer vacation, and the first thing on the agenda is to prepare for this year’s performance of “The Little Mermaid”. In order for this production to work, we need everyone to help. Mrs. Blake is holding tryouts in the drama room after school. This lunch hour we are looking for people to work on the stage crew. If you would like to be a lighting director, a stage manager, or part of the sound crew, go to the video room. Music students are encouraged to see their teacher in the band room. Art students will be responsible for creating a large ocean painting that will be used for the background. Other duties include painting furniture making posters and other promotional material, and creating decorations. For those who volunteer their time, we will be offering a free pizza day in the gym at the end of every month. If all goes well, we will finish our preparations by the end of March. This will give Mrs. Blake and the cast a full month to practice for the performance. We are excited to offer this amazing performance right up until the last day of school in late June. Remember, if we all work together, we can achieve anything.

Liangshan has historically been one of the poorest regions in Sichuan, China. But with the targeted poverty alleviation(扶贫)policy being carried out, it has made progress by improving housing and transportation and finding jobs for residents to achieve sustainable growth.
Ciqu Laza's family fell into poverty when her two sons died, leaving her with five grandchildren to bring up. The septuagenarian(七十岁老者)gets various government allowances(津贴), yet she still cherishes working to increase household income. She is in good health and has found a job clearing weeds in a blueberry plantation. "I earn over 2, 000 yuan($295) every month; that's really nice", she told Bejing Review.
Before the plantation came up, Ciqu and other villagers grew potato or buckwheat, which meant a lot of labor but a low income. Now besides their wages they can also earn more money by leasing their land to the plantation. She can earn a rent of 10, 000 yuan($1, 474) every year.
The blueberry plantation, established in 2019, is a flagship project for poverty alleviation in Butuo County. According to Shang Zhaoyang, Deputy Director of the Bureau of Commerce in Butuo, the plentiful sunshine and the soil are highly suitable for large-scale blueberry plantation. "China's blueberry market has a huge potential to tap", he said.
The 240-hectare plantation has been co-funded by the local government and Tian Zhimei, a leading agricultural company in Sichuan, which sent technicians to instruct the villagers how to manage the plantation. When the blueberries ripen, the company sends personnel to buy them at a guaranteed price, which has greatly reduced risks.
Developing agriculture is creating jobs and increasing farmers' income. But still more can be done to add value to agricultural products. "We plan to build a cold storage and extend the industrial chain to create more profits, "Shang said.
24. Why are Ciqu still working in her old age
A. To support her family. B. To lead a healthy life.
C. To enjoy the fun of working. D. To get government allowances.
25. What is the purpose of the flagship project
A. To get rid of poverty. B. To explore blueberry market.
C. To offer technique to villagers. D. To enlarge blueberry planting scale.
26. What does Shang suggest about creating more profits
A. Reducing price risks. B. Creating more jobs for farmers.
C. Building new apartments and roads. D. Raising agricultural products' added value.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Industrial Development B. Growing a Better Life
C. Hard-working Villagers D. The Blueberry Plantation
C
You may have seen photographs that suggest otherwise, but the pope(主教) didn't wear a stylish, brilliant white coat. These recent viral hits were the fruits of artificial intelligence(Al) systems that create images. They demonstrate how these programs have become very good — and are now convincing enough to fool an unwitting observer.
So how can doubtful viewers spot images generated by an Al system One recent experiment highlighted how well Al is able to deceive. Sophie Nightingale, a psychologist in England, co-authored a study that tested whether online volunteers could distinguish between passport like headshots created by an AI system and real images. "Basically, we're at the point where it's so realistic that people can't reliably detect the difference between those synthetic(合成的) faces and real faces, "says Nightingale.
In a second test, the researchers tried to help the test subjects improve their Al-detecting abilities.
They marked each answer right or wrong after participants answered, and they also prepared participants in advance by having them read through advice for detecting artificially generated images. But even with these additions, participants' accuracy only increased by about 10 percent.
Ironically, as image-generating technology continues to improve, humans' best defense from being fooled by an AI system may be yet another Al system: one trained to detect artificial images. "The battle between Al systems that generate images and Al systems that detect the Al-generated images is going to be an arms race, " says Wacl Abd lmageed, a research associate professor of computer science. "I don't see any side winning anytime soon. "
AbdAlmageed says no approach will ever be able to catch every single artificially produced image—but that doesn't mean we should give up. He suggests that social media platforms need to begin confronting(应对)AI-generated content on their sites. And users need to more skeptically evaluate visual information by asking whether it's false, Al-generated or harmful before sharing. "We grow up thinking that seeing is believing, "AbdAlmageed says. "That's not true anymore. Seeing is not believing anymore. "
28. What do the underlined words "viral hits" in paragraph 1 refer to
A. AI systems B. Unwitting observers
C. The pope's coats. D. False photos
29. What can we learn about AI-generated images
A. Only 10 percent can be recognized.
B. They are too realistic to be safely detected.
C. They have no difference from real ones.
D. Participants can identify them with help.
30. What may be the best way to avoid being cheated by Al images

Transportation is the largest source of carbon dioxide and other gases linked to changes in the earth's climate.
The Biden administration plans to speed up the adoption of electric vehicles(E. V. )and ensures them to cover a two-thirds share of new cars in less than a decade, which pushes automakers further in a direction they have already been going. But meeting the new timetable will be a challenge.
Most car companies are convinced that a transition to E. V. s is necessary and unavoidable. But with the sales of E. V. s accounting for only 5. 8 percent of the 13. 8 million new cars and trucks sold in the USA last year, the industry and its customers have a long way to go.
Still, the push to put E. V. s into American garages may rely on people like John Torrance. He agrees to cut greenhouse gas emissions and cope with climate change, but has a hard time imagining an E. V. fitting into his life.
"I'm a person who likes to go and not have many stops, "he said. "While working, I can't really wait an hour or more to recharge an E. V. "On top of that, he lives in an apartment, making it impossible to charge an E. V. at home.
Apart from that obstacle, the biggest is perhaps lithium(锂), a key element in E. V. batteries. The world produces only a small fraction of the amount needed for a majority of car buyers in the United States, Europe and China where more than 50 million cars were sold last year.
The supply and production of other metals must also increase. On another front, the plants and assembly lines(装配线) needed to produce millions of E. V. s every year don't exist yet.
Despite the difficulties, Mr. Ramsey, the Gartner analyst, thinks that continued efforts on all fronts could move the country close to the administration's goals. Mining companies are racing to expand lithium production, though the pace is unclear. G. M. , Ford and other manufacturers have plants under construction. "Two years ago, I would have said there's no way we get there, "Ramsey said. "Now, I'd say it's at least possible. "
32. What is the purpose of the administration's plan
A. To improve transport. B. To regulate car market.
C. To tackle climate change. D. To change people's way of life.
33. Why does the writer mention John Torrance in paragraph 4
A. To tell the popularity of E. V. s.
B. To inform peoples' concern about E. V. s.
C. To show the difficulty in carrying out the plan.
D. To state people's attitude to handling climate change.
34. What is the biggest challenge of the administration's plan
A. The lack of general acceptance.
B. Competition from other countries.
C. The administration's poor performance.
D. The limited production of lithium.
35. What is Ramsey's attitude to the administration's goal
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Approving. D. Unconcerned.

Mr Dow's store was widely known throughout the neighborhood. Every day after school, Little Jocy came to the store to look at one pipe on the shelves. He imagined that some day he would be a grown man and could smoke a pipe, just like this one. He did not remember his father, but he knew his dad smoked a pipe.
Jocy reached out and touched the pipe. He looked around the store. Nobody was looking. He put the bowl of the pipe in his hand. He just wanted to get the feel of it—nothing more. He was lost in his dream, wishing he could be like his father, a father he tried hard to remember.
Suddenly he was shocked out of his dream. He heard footsteps behind him. He was frightened.
He turned around quickly. It was Mr Dow, the friendly store owner. Joey was unable to move.
"Hello, Joey. "Mr Dow said, and kept on walking. Joey struggled to answer but could not get his voice out. He swallowed and smiled weakly as Mr Dow walked away. Joey's thoughts became unclear. Did Mr Dow see the pipe in his hand Was he suspicious(怀疑的)
Suddenly the store seemed extremely warm. Joey watched his feet begin to move and take him out of the store. Like one walking in his sleep, he moved toward the playground. He looked around and saw the empty swings. He slipped into one and leaned against its chain. The cold metal links hurt his side. He knew it was the pipe in his pocket that hurt.
A feeling of terror now raced through him. He had betrayed(背叛) his mother. All sorts of thoughts raced through his head. He could say he did not take the pipe. No one had seen him do it. Yet, he himself would know that he did and God would know. He could hide the pipe. He could throw it away. He could send Mr Dow the money for it. His thoughts went around in the same circle again and again.
