I've been writing since before I could write. As a kid, I dictated stories to my parents.About 12 years ago,I was living in New York City and pursuing a master in creative writing. For years I'd been suffering vision disorder,but in New York my symptoms worsened. I became unable to read or write for any considerable length of time. I tried vision therapy(疗法），an overhead projector,a special pair of glasses-all in vain.
Eventually,I discovered a computer program for the visually challenged. As I typed,my words were read aloud by an automated voice. With my screen dimmed to black,I relied entirely on audio feedback to know what I had written.
Facing the blank page is worrying,but facing the black page is worse. The dark screen is a sinkhole that swallows creative hope. Sentences disappear into it like an astronaut into a black hole. I managed to complete my master degree, but it took me years to adapt to my new reality. The greatest barrier seemed to be the automated voice, which was like a robot parrot on my shoulder, and I wanted nothing more than to drive it away. If a pianist were forced to practice on an untuned piano,would it corrupt his ear over time
Of course,I could have quit writing and stopped making myself suffer.But it honestly never occurred to me-and I'm glad it didn't. Last year, after I told my story on the radio,I was contacted by VocaliD,a Massachusetts-based company that created a voice modeled on my own.
The first time I heard the voice they created, it is so close to my own that the two are nearly indistinguishable. I've only just begun using this new voice. My hope is that this will restore a sense of solitude(孤独） to my writing process,allowing me easier access to that inner space where the imagination can take over, and I can forget myself, and the real work can begin.
The black screen still exists-it always will-but the robot parrot has taken wing.

A. His sight started to fail due to much reading.
B. His eyes couldn't sustain long hours of reading.
C. He had to drop out due to his vision disorder.
D. He successfully overcame his vision problem.
5. What still bothered the author after he got his master degree
A. The untuned automated voice.
B. The pet parrot on his shoulder.
C. The computer with a dark screen.
D. The noise from a neighboring pianist.
6. How did the author feel when first hearing the voice created by VocaliD
A. Excited. B. Annoyed.
C. Unmoved. D. Relaxed.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The automated voice is too annoying to bear.
B. The author can restore his sight to normal.
C. The author starts to enjoy his writing again.
D. It is likely that the technology will improve.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了受到视觉障碍的作者在追求写作梦想道路上与视觉障碍搏斗的过程，以及期间作者所寻找的解决方法。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I became unable to read or write for any considerable length of time. （我变得无法长时间读写。）”可知，作者因为视觉障碍而无法长时间地专注写作或阅读。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段 “The greatest barrier seemed to be the automated voice, which was like a robot parrot on my shoulder, and I wanted nothing more than to drive it away. （最大的障碍似乎是自动语音声，它就像一只机器鹦鹉搭在我肩上，我只想把它赶走。）”可知，困扰作者最多的就是自动语音声。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The first time I heard the voice they created, it is so close to my own that the two are nearly indistinguishable.”和“My hope is that this will restore a sense of solitude(孤独） to my writing process, allowing me easier access to that inner space where the imagination can take over, and I can forget myself, and the real work can begin.（我希望这能在我的写作过程中恢复一种孤独感，让我更容易进入内心的空间，在那里想象力可以占据主导，我可以忘记自己，真正的工作可以开始。）”可知， 当作者第一次听见VocaliD制作的声音时，发现它与作者自己的声音十分相像，几乎无法辨别出来。加之作者对其寄予的希望，都可以看出当作者听见VocaliD制作的声音时心中的激动与喜悦。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通过最后一段“The black screen still exists-it always will-but the robot parrot has taken wing.（黑幕依然存在——它永远都会存在，但机器鹦鹉已经展翅飞翔。）”及倒数第二段我们可知，作者可能长时间无法摆脱视觉障碍的困扰，但是当有了新的设备后，作者不再受到自动语音的干扰，而是拥有了新的、通向内在自我与想象的写作可能，能够重新享受独自的写作过程。故选C。
C
“I feel unlikable, lonely and hopeless，” said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. “It seems that nobody wants to become my friend. What's wrong with me？”
Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness. The truth is that all people, no matter what their age or character — even the most outgoing, wealthy and popular — experience loneliness at least sometimes. It's healthy and natural to want to be around people who care. After all, we've all heard “No man is an island.” That's true. We all need others in our lives.
Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, explains that if we want friends, we must be friendly and reach out to others. But it has risk. Because we are often afraid of rejection (拒绝), many of us are unwilling to reach out to others. We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us. But if we want friends, we've got to get beyond this.
If making friends is your goal as well, you need to consider taking some measures (措施).
Be willing to take the initiative (主动权). If you see someone whom you would like to know, don't wait for her to make the first move. Get close to her and begin a conversation. Let her know in a non aggressive (无攻击性的) way that you are interested in being friends with her.
Reach out to those who are lonely. When you see someone at school sitting alone, go over and talk to her. And don't let popularity decide whom you reach out to. You'll often be surprised at the beautiful qualities behind a shy appearance.
Ask questions. Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what she likes to do or asking about her family. Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with “yes” or “no”. For example, don't ask “Do you have a dog？” Instead, say “So, tell me about your pets.” Avoiding asking “yes” or “no” questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one word answer.
8. Why does the author begin the text with Lisa's worry
A To set a sad tone.
B. To share Lisa's pain.
C. To introduce the topic.
D. To teach readers a lesson.
9. What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage
A. Being refused by others.
B. Putting ourselves in danger.
C. Being treated in a rude way.
D. Losing interest in communicating.
10. What can we know from Paragraph 5
A. Shy people are hard to talk to.
B. Popular people are often easy going.
C. Just waiting for chances will waste our time.
D. A proper manner is important in making friends.
11. Why does the author suggest not asking “yes” or “no” questions
A. It is considered unfriendly.
B. It will leave a bad first impression.
C. It shows the poor quality of the speaker.
D. It isn't good for keeping a conversation going.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了朋友的重要性以及如何结交朋友。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段““I feel unlikable, lonely and hopeless，” said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. “It seems that nobody wants to become my friend. What's wrong with me？”（“我感到不讨人喜欢、孤独和绝望，”丽莎说，她是一个聪明的少年，来自一个充满爱的家庭。“好像没有人愿意和我做朋友。我是怎么了 ”）”和第二段首句“Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness.”（ 和Lisa一样，我们中的许多人都经历过孤独。）可知，作者用Lisa缺少朋友的忧虑开篇是为了引出下文的话题。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Because we are often afraid of rejection, many of us are unwilling to reach out to others.”（ 因为我们常常害怕被拒绝，许多人不愿向别人伸出援手。）可知，主动出击的风险是可能被他人拒绝。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段末尾总结到“Let her know in a non aggressive manner that you are interested in being friends with her.”（以非暴力的、友好的方式让他感觉到,你有兴趣和她做朋友。）可知，交朋友时方式方法很重要。结合选项，故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Avoiding asking ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one word answer.”（ 避免问“是”或“不是”的问题会让你可能的朋友不会用一个词来结束你们的交流。）可知，问对方能用yes或no回答的问题不利于展开对话。故选D。
D
In the world of water, 2021 was another year for the record books. Parts of Western Europe suffered from deadly floods while large areas of the southwestern United States remained locked in a massive drought.
One might think that our impressive water management would safeguard society from such catastrophic events. Yet when it comes to water, the past is no longer a good guide for the future and most of the water engineering is unprepared for consequences of increasingly occurring extreme weather. One of the most alarming wake-up calls came from the city of Cape Town, where the water taps of 4 million residents were nearly forced to be shut off after severe drought dried up its reservoir (水库).
Appealing as it might be, the solution is not to further build bigger and higher dams (水坝) that often result in more disastrous flooding. Rather, it is to work more with natural processes.
The Netherlands avoided major damage from the historic floods in July 2021 thanks to its recently completed project, which gives river room to spread out by redirecting floodwaters into wetlands, lowering parts of the stormy river by more than a foot. Agricultural practices offer another strategy. Scientists have found that boosting organic matter in the soil by 1% can increase the soil’s water-holding capacity by up to 18,000 gallons per acre, creating flexibility to both intense rains and dry periods. This means farmland practices such as the planting of cover crops can not only raise output but improve water management.
Solutions don’t come easily, but they are key to a livable future. While it’s too late to avoid the impacts of climate change, we can avoid the worst of those impacts by investing more in such nature-based water solutions.
12. Cape Town is mentioned to show__________.
A. the reservoir was of no use
B. new water management is in need
C. how awful it was without tap water
D. the existing water management is impressive
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. The Netherlands was spared from flood damage.
B. The river’s water level was reduced to over a foot.
C. Improving soil’s water-holding ability is practical.
D. Planting crops boosts organisms at the cost of production.
14. Which of the following water projects might win the author’s favor
① “Restoring Healthy Soil”
② “Filling Wetland”
③ “Strengthening Dam”
④ “Making Room for River”
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ①④
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Water disaster: way out of control
B. Investment in water: a key to the future
C. Nature-based solution: a way out for water
D. Good news: farming practices working well
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍水灾频发下给水治理带来的新启示。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中的“Yet when it comes to water, the past is no longer a good guide for the future and most of the water engineering is unprepared for consequences of increasingly occurring extreme weather. One of the most alarming wake-up calls came from the city of Cape Town, where the water taps of 4 million residents were nearly forced to be shut off after severe drought dried up its reservoir (水库). (然而，说到水，过去不再是未来的良好指南，大多数水利工程对日益发生的极端天气的后果毫无准备。其中一个最令人震惊的警钟来自开普敦市，在严重干旱导致水库干涸后，该市400万居民的水龙头几乎被迫关闭)”和下文“如何利用水治理应对灾害的方法”可知，极端天气日益频繁而以前的水利工程不适用于新的变化，开普敦就是一个例子，紧接着后文谈及应该如何做，所以提及开普敦是为了表明我们需要新的水治理方式。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“Agricultural practices offer another strategy. Scientists have found that boosting organic matter in the soil by 1% can increase the soil’s water-holding capacity by up to 18,000 gallons per acre, creating flexibility to both intense rains and dry periods. (农业实践提供了另一种策略。科学家们发现，将土壤中的有机质增加1%，可以使土壤的持水能力提高到每英亩18000加仑，从而在强降雨和干旱期都具有灵活性)”可知，提高土壤有机物能提高其持水容量（从而有利于应对干旱和洪涝），这在农业实践上是可行的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“Agricultural practices offer another strategy. Scientists have found that boosting organic matter in the soil by 1% can increase the soil’s water-holding capacity by up to 18,000 gallons per acre, creating flexibility to both intense rains and dry periods. (农业实践提供了另一种策略。科学家们发现，将土壤中的有机质增加1%，可以使土壤的持水能力提高到每英亩18000加仑，从而在强降雨和干旱期都具有灵活性)”可知，提高土壤有机物，恢复土壤健康，这能提高其持水容量（从而有利于应对干旱和洪涝），这在农业实践上是可行的，说明作者赞同①“恢复土壤健康”；由第四段中的“The Netherlands avoided major damage from the historic floods in July 2021 thanks to its recently completed project, which gives river room to spread out by redirecting floodwaters into wetlands, lowering parts of the stormy river by more than a foot. (由于最近完成的项目，荷兰避免了历史性洪灾造成的重大损失，该项目通过将洪水重新导向湿地，将暴雨河流的一部分降到一英尺以上，使河流空间得以扩展)”可知，荷兰通过最近的水利项目使河流空间得以扩展，避免了历史性洪灾造成的重大损失，说明④“为河流腾出空间”会赢得作者的青睐；可得出作者会赞同①④水利工程。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由第三段“Appealing as it might be, the solution is not to further build bigger and higher dams (水坝) that often result in more disastrous flooding. Rather, it is to work more with natural processes. (尽管这可能很有吸引力，但解决办法是不要进一步建造更大、更高的水坝，这往往会导致更严重的洪水。相反，要更多地利用自然过程)”，最后一段中的“While it’s too late to avoid the impacts of climate change, we can avoid the worst of those impacts by investing more in such nature-based water solutions. (虽然现在避免气候变化的影响为时已晚，但我们可以通过加大对此类基于自然的水解决方案的投资来避免最糟糕的影响)”和其它段落可知，文章以灾害引入，进而举例谈及用基于自然的方法解决问题，结尾呼吁对自然方法的投资，C项“基于自然的解决方案：水的出路”一语双关，既指自然方法提供出路，又指把水通过自然方式导出去。故选C项。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为 150 左右。
It was a tradition that my sons, their wives, and our grandchildren would spend Christmas Day at our house. So we loaded Jake, our first pet dog, who was diagnosed（诊断为）with cancer, in the back seat of my car, setting out to buy the things at dusk.
Our first stop was at the dollar store to pick up wrapping paper and decorations. As we approached the cashier desk, my husband said, “I’ll be out in the car with Jake.” He returned a few minutes later. “Do you have the car keys ”
“No,” I responded. I searched the passages（通道）in vain before leaving the store as fast as I could. When I got back to the car, my husband was starting the engine. He told me it was our dog Jake that found the car keys. We drove to the grocery store. As we got out of the car, I reached down for my purse and fear stole into me as I realized it wasn’t there. “Wait,” I cried to my husband. “My purse. I think I must have left it in the cart at the dollar store.”
My husband didn’t say anything as we both climbed back in the car. Fifteen minutes later we returned to find another car now at the spot where we had previously parked. The cart was still there, but it was empty. I jumped out of the car and began searching the bushes. It didn’t take long to realize my efforts were useless. My purse was gone. I started to cry.
“Are you alright Ma’am ” a woman about my age asked. I hadn’t even noticed her approach me.
“I lost my purse in the dollar store. Left it in the cart,” I stammered（结结巴巴地）. “I had over two hundred dollars in it. Even if we find it, it’ll probably be empty,” I said sadly.
“I wouldn’t be so sure of that. There are still some good people in the world,” she responded. “It still may show up. ”
Paragraph 1:
The woman took my hand and pressed something into my palm (手掌) before closing my hand into a fist（拳头）.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When we arrived home there was a white car I didn’t recognize in front of our house.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The woman took my hand and pressed something into my palm before closing my hand into a fist. “Merry Christmas,” she whispered in my ear, disappearing into the night. I was so shocked that it took me a minute to open my hand, but when I did, I gasped. I couldn’t believe it; the woman had given me two one-hundred-dollar bills. What really mattered the most to me wasn’t the money, but that I had come across someone special, someone who really cared.
When we arrived home there was a white car I didn’t recognize in front of our house. A stranger stood on our front porch ringing the doorbell. Not only did she find my lost wallet, but it took her half an hour to drive it back to me. This Christmas was a little sad because of Jake’s illness. It was also a little more special, however, thanks to the two angels, each offering kindness to a crazy woman with a sick dog. While I have no way of contacting them personally to thank them for their gifts and explain what their kindness meant to me, I’ve tried to follow their example and pass their kindness forward.

I've been writing since before I could write. As a kid, I dictated stories to my parents.About 12 years ago,I was living in New York City and pursuing a master in creative writing. For years I'd been suffering vision disorder,but in New York my symptoms worsened. I became unable to read or write for any considerable length of time. I tried vision therapy(疗法），an overhead projector,a special pair of glasses-all in vain.
EventuallyI discovered a computer program for the visually challenged. As I typed,my words were read aloud by an automated voice. With my screen dimmed to black,I relied entirely on audio feedback to know what I had written.
Facing the blank page is worrying,but facing the black page is worse. The dark screen is a sinkhole that swallows creative hope. Sentences disappear into it like an astronaut into a black hole. I managed to complete my master degree, but it took me years to adapt to my new reality. The greatest barrier seemed to be the automated voice, which was like a robot parrot on my shoulder, and I wanted nothing more than to drive it away. If a pianist were forced to practice on an untuned piano,would it corrupt his ear over time
Of course,I could have quit writing and stopped making myself suffer.But it honestly never occurred to me-and I'm glad it didn't. Last year, after I told my story on the radio,I was contacted by VocaliD,a Massachusetts-based company that created a voice modeled on my own.
The first time I heard the voice they created, it is so close to my own that the two are nearly indistinguishable. I've only just begun using this new voice. My hope is that this will restore a sense of solitude(孤独） to my writing process,allowing me easier access to that inner space where the imagination can take over, and I can forget myself, and the real work can begin.
The black screen still exists-it always will-but the robot parrot has taken wing.
4. What happened to the author when pursuing a master degree in New York
A. His sight started to fail due to much reading.
B. His eyes couldn't sustain long hours of reading.
C. He had to drop out due to his vision disorder.
D. He successfully overcame his vision problem.
5. What still bothered the author after he got his master degree
A. The untuned automated voice.
B. The pet parrot on his shoulder.
C. The computer with a dark screen.
D. The noise from a neighboring pianist.
6. How did the author feel when first hearing the voice created by VocaliD
A. Excited. B. Annoyed.
C. Unmoved. D. Relaxed.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The automated voice is too annoying to bear.
B The author can restore his sight to normal.
C. The author starts to enjoy his writing again.
D. It is likely that the technology will improve.

“I feel unlikable, lonely and hopeless，” said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. “It seems that nobody wants to become my friend. What's wrong with me？”
Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness. The truth is that all people, no matter what their age or character — even the most outgoing, wealthy and popular — experience loneliness at least sometimes. It's healthy and natural to want to be around people who care. After all, we've all heard “No man is an island.” That's true. We all need others in our lives.
Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, explains that if we want friends, we must be friendly and reach out to others. But it has risk. Because we are often afraid of rejection (拒绝), many of us are unwilling to reach out to others. We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us. But if we want friends, we've got to get beyond this.
If making friends is your goal as well, you need to consider taking some measures (措施).
Be willing to take the initiative (主动权). If you see someone whom you would like to know, don't wait for her to make the first move. Get close to her and begin a conversation. Let her know in a non aggressive (无攻击性的) way that you are interested in being friends with her.
Reach out to those who are lonely. When you see someone at school sitting alone, go over and talk to her. And don't let popularity decide whom you reach out to. You'll often be surprised at the beautiful qualities behind a shy appearance.
Ask questions. Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what she likes to do or asking about her family. Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with “yes” or “no”. For example, don't ask “Do you have a dog？” Instead, say “So, tell me about your pets.” Avoiding asking “yes” or “no” questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one word answer.
8. Why does the author begin the text with Lisa's worry
A. To set a sad tone.
B. To share Lisa's pain.
C. To introduce the topic.
D. To teach readers a lesson.
9. What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage
A. Being refused by others.
B. Putting ourselves in danger.
C. Being treated in a rude way.
D. Losing interest in communicating.
10. What can we know from Paragraph 5
A. Shy people are hard to talk to.
B. Popular people are often easy going.
C. Just waiting for chances will waste our time.
D. A proper manner is important in making friends.
11. Why does the author suggest not asking “yes” or “no” questions
A. It is considered unfriendly.
B. It will leave a bad first impression.
C. It shows the poor quality of the speaker.
D. It isn't good for keeping a conversation going.
D
In the world of water, 2021 was another year for the record books. Parts of Western Europe suffered from deadly floods while large areas of the southwestern United States remained locked in a massive drought.
One might think that our impressive water management would safeguard society from such catastrophic events. Yet when it comes to water, the past is no longer a good guide for the future and most of the water engineering is unprepared for consequences of increasingly occurring extreme weather. One of the most alarming wake-up calls came from the city of Cape Town, where the water taps of 4 million residents were nearly forced to be shut off after severe drought dried up its reservoir (水库).
Appealing as it might be, the solution is not to further build bigger and higher dams (水坝) that often result in more disastrous flooding. Rather, it is to work more with natural processes.
The Netherlands avoided major damage from the historic floods in July 2021 thanks to its recently completed project, which gives river room to spread out by redirecting floodwaters into wetlands, lowering parts of the stormy river by more than a foot. Agricultural practices offer another strategy. Scientists have found that boosting organic matter in the soil by 1% can increase the soil’s water-holding capacity by up to 18,000 gallons per acre, creating flexibility to both intense rains and dry periods. This means farmland practices such as the planting of cover crops can not only raise output but improve water management.
Solutions don’t come easily, but they are key to a livable future. While it’s too late to avoid the impacts of climate change, we can avoid the worst of those impacts by investing more in such nature-based water solutions.
12. Cape Town is mentioned to show__________.
A. the reservoir was of no use
B. new water management is in need
C. how awful it was without tap water
D. the existing water management is impressive
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. The Netherlands was spared from flood damage.
B. The river’s water level was reduced to over a foot.
C. Improving soil’s water-holding ability is practical.
D. Planting crops boosts organisms at the cost of production.
14. Which of the following water projects might win the author’s favor
① “Restoring Healthy Soil”
② “Filling Wetland”
③ “Strengthening Dam”
④ “Making Room for River”
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ①④
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Water disaster: way out of control
B. Investment in water: a key to the future
C. Nature-based solution: a way out for water
D. Good news: farming practices working well

It was a tradition that my sons, their wives, and our grandchildren would spend Christmas Day at our house. So we loaded Jake, our first pet dog, who was diagnosed（诊断为）with cancer, in the back seat of my car, setting out to buy the things at dusk.
Our first stop was at the dollar store to pick up wrapping paper and decorations. As we approached the cashier desk, my husband said, “I’ll be out in the car with Jake.” He returned a few minutes later. “Do you have the car keys ”
“No,” I responded. I searched the passages（通道）in vain before leaving the store as fast as I could. When I got back to the car, my husband was starting the engine. He told me it was our dog Jake that found the car keys. We drove to the grocery store. As we got out of the car, I reached down for my purse and fear stole into me as I realized it wasn’t there. “Wait,” I cried to my husband. “My purse. I think I must have left it in the cart at the dollar store.”
My husband didn’t say anything as we both climbed back in the car. Fifteen minutes later we returned to find another car now at the spot where we had previously parked. The cart was still there, but it was empty. I jumped out of the car and began searching the bushes. It didn’t take long to realize my efforts were useless. My purse was gone. I started to cry.
“Are you alright Ma’am ” a woman about my age asked. I hadn’t even noticed her approach me.
“I lost my purse in the dollar store. Left it in the cart,” I stammered（结结巴巴地）. “I had over two hundred dollars in it. Even if we find it, it’ll probably be empty,” I said sadly.
“I wouldn’t be so sure of that. There are still some good people in the world,” she responded. “It still may show up. ”
Paragraph 1:
The woman took my hand and pressed something into my palm (手掌) before closing my hand into a fist（拳头）.
