My wife and I usually don’t keep houseplants. But after I was told I had cancer I wanted to be around some life. When my friend Mitch gave me a lucky bamboo plant in a bowl, we decided to place the plant next to the living room window across from the couch.
I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself. When it didn’t immediately turn yellow or brown or lose all of its leaves, I was pleasantly surprised. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of achievement at a time when I sometimes felt useless. As a doctor, I was used to being the one who provided care, not the one who received it. Watering the plant taught me I couldstill be a caregiver.
Over the next few months, I recovered from surgery and completed the first round of chemotherapy(化疗). Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush Both the tree and I were healthy.
Then,mysteriously, it began to show signs of stress. No matter what I did, the leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. I grew more and more frustrated and uneasy.
“I can’t even care for a simple plant!” I yelled. “I’m failing!“ I couldn’t shake the feeling that the plant had become a symbol of my own health. I realized I had wrongly connected my careful caring for the plant-something over which I had at least some control-with my own survival something over which I had no control.
When my tumor(肿瘤) returned, it would not be because of any failure on my part. As my anxiety decreased, I began to research how to heal the plant. After moving it under a sunny window, we both began to thrive again.
Whenever I look at the tree in its new pot, I think of Mitch and all the people who supported me. If the plant outlives me, I hope it will comfort Hannah and remind her that our large community will continue to care for her after I am gone.
4. How did the author feel about caring for the plart at first
A. Bored. B. Satisfied.

【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者患病后照顾绿植的经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When it didn’t immediately turn yellow or brown or lose all of its leaves, I was pleasantly surprised. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of achievement at a time when I sometimes felt useless.(当它没有立即变黄或变棕,也没有掉光所有的叶子时,我感到非常惊喜。在我有时觉得自己一无是处的时候,照料这株植物给了我一种成就感。)”可知,作者开始照顾绿植时,看到绿植没有变黄也没有掉叶,觉得在自己没用的时候,能够照顾好一盆绿植很有成就感,由此可知,作者开始照顾绿植时感到很满足。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的““I can’t even care for a simple plant!” I yelled. “I’m failing!“ I couldn’t shake the feeling that the plant had become a symbol of my own health.(“我连一株简单的植物都不会照料!”我喊道。“我没有!“我无法摆脱这种感觉,那株植物已经成为我健康的象征。)”可知,作者见到绿植落叶的时候,感到很焦虑是因为作者把绿植当做自己健康的象征,所以如果绿植死了,就意味着作者自己的死亡。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny(很快,它的高度几乎增加了一倍,叶子闪闪发光)”以及and可知,该单词lush与shiny意思相近,绿植的高度翻了一番,叶子也是闪闪发光,由此可知,此处描述的是一棵健康的绿植,结合选项可知,thick意为“茂密的”可以形容健康的绿植,与shiny的意思相关。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段“My wife and I usually don’t keep houseplants. But after I was told I had cancer I wanted to be around some life. When my friend Mitch gave me a lucky bamboo plant in a bowl, we decided to place the plant next to the living room window across from the couch.(我妻子和我通常不养室内植物。但在我被告知患了癌症后,我想要一些生活。当我的朋友米奇送给我一盆幸运的竹子时,我们决定把它放在客厅窗户对面的沙发上。)”可知,本段讲述了作者养绿植的原因,结合下文中作者照顾绿植的过程以及情绪的变化可知,本文讲述的是作者分享了自己养绿植的经历。故选B 项。
C
We’ve all been told that different types of fruits and vegetables have different benefits that help us keep healthy. A new international study has found that eating one fruit regularly can help reduce the risk of cancer (癌症), among those people who have a high risk of developing certain cancers.
The research, which followed almost 1,000 patients with a variety of cancers, found that taking regular resistant starch (抗酶解淀粉) could have a great preventative effect on the risk of cancer. Here’s what you need to know about how eating bananas regularly can help reduce the risk of cancers.
Resistant starch is found in green bananas. By eating green bananas your body gets resistant starch, which has been found to reduce the risk of cancers in some parts of the body by more than a half, according to the new research. The study, which was published in Cancer Prevention Research, was led by experts at the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds. It found that resistant starch, if taken regularly for two years, had a very good effect on some cancers, which can be difficult to find.
John Mathers, a professor at Newcastle University explained, “Resistant starch really helps in fact, which has several health benefits and fewer calories than regular starch.”
In addition to green bananas, resistant starch is also found in foods such as peas, beans and other starchy foods. In terms of bananas, experts think that eating one banana every day has the same effect as a certain amount of resistant starch. The secret is to eat the bananas before they become too ripe (成熟的) or soft.
8. What advantage does eating bananas regularly have
A. Avoid developing diseases. B. Suffer from no stress.
C. Have a lower risk of cancer. D. Expect a longer life.
9. Why can green bananas often help reduce the risk of cancer
A. They contain resistant starch. B. They help discover cancer.
C. They improve a person’s diet. D. They are quite healthy fruit.
10. What is John Mathers’ attitude to resistant starch
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Worried. D. Unclear.
11. What do the experts suggest people do
A. Find hidden cancers. B. Get enough sleep.
C. Take regular exercise. D. Eat green bananas daily.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一种研究发现患有某些癌症风险高的人群,经常吃某种水果能降低患癌风险,本文主要以吃香蕉为例进行说明。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Here’s what you need to know about how eating bananas regularly can help reduce the risk of cancers.(关于经常吃香蕉如何有助于降低患癌症的风险,以下是你需要知道的。)”可知,经常吃香蕉有比较低的患癌风险。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Resistant starch is found in green bananas. By eating green bananas your body gets resistant starch, which has been found to reduce the risk of cancers in some parts of the body by more than a half, according to the new research.(抗酶解淀粉存在于绿香蕉中。根据一项新的研究,吃绿香蕉会使你的身体产生抗酶解淀粉,这可以将身体某些部位患癌症的风险降低一半以上。)”可知,绿香蕉中含有抗酶解淀粉,这种物质对降低患癌风险有很好的效果,所以绿香蕉能降低患癌风险是因为其中含有抗酶解淀粉。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“John Mathers, a professor at Newcastle University explained, “Resistant starch really helps in fact, which has several health benefits and fewer calories than regular starch.”(纽卡斯尔大学教授约翰·马瑟斯解释说:“事实上,抗酶解淀粉确实有帮助,它对健康有很多好处,而且比普通淀粉的卡路里更少。”。)”可知,John Mathers教授认为,抗酶解淀粉的确有效而且比普通淀粉好处处且含热量少,由此可推断John Mathers支持抗酶解淀粉。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“In terms of bananas, experts think that eating one banana every day has the same effect as a certain amount of resistant starch. The secret is to eat the bananas before they become too ripe (成熟的) or soft.(就香蕉而言,专家认为每天吃一根香蕉和摄入一定量的抗酶解淀粉的效果是一样的。秘诀是在香蕉变熟或变软之前吃。)”可知,每天吃香蕉与吃一定量的抗酶解淀粉效果相同,在其未成熟前吃是其密秘所在,所以专家建议人们每天吃未熟的香蕉。故选D项。

Starting this fall, primary and middle school students in China will have at least one weekly course on labor education, according to a new curriculum standard released by the Ministry of Education (MOE).
Labor education ranges from household chores to on-campus labor and community volunteer services, generally 3 types according to the new standards: the first refers to everyday chores, including cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using and maintaining home appliances (家电); next is productive labor, including agriculture, making traditional handicrafts (手工艺品), and applying new technologies such as 3D printing; the third type is service work, including volunteer work. The new curriculum also calls for a week of extra-curricular and off-campus activities designed for labor education once every school year.
A recent study showed that primary and middle school students in China only spend an average of 12 minutes a day on chores, compared to 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France. Many countries start students’ labor education at a young age. Finland begins to develop students’ life skills in primary school. Spinning, woodworking, cooking and other craftsmanship classes are offered. In Germany, pupils have two labor classes per week. Electronics, office technology, sewing, housekeeping, and career guidance are all taught there.
Adding labor education was out of concern that the country’s youngsters do too little housework and look down on manual labor (体力劳动) jobs. Due to great academic pressure, schools tend to put their academic curricula on the top, and parents sometimes see household chores as distractions. But, according to the MOE, labor education must be strengthened to help students develop social values, an interest in labor and finally an all-around development.
12. What is the purpose of adding labor education
A. To enrich the students’ off-campus life.
B. To improve the students’ performance on learning.
C. To help students achieve an all-around development.
D. To follow the education mode of some western countries.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The history of labor education.
B. The content of labor education.
C. The significance of labor education.
D. The future development of labor education.
14. What does labor education in Finland and Germany have in common
A. They start labor education in the middle school.
B. There are a wide variety of labor education courses.
C. It is viewed more important than academic learning.
D. Students spend more than 30 minutes on housework daily.
15. What do we know about labor education in China
A. A week of extracurricular activities is a must every term.
B. Students decide whether to take the courses on their own.
C. Specially-designed courses have been applied for many years.
D. The school has to recognize the importance of labor education.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了从2022年9月份开始,全中国的小学、初中开始开设劳动教育课程,通过了解和参与劳动促进学生的全面发展。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But, according to the MOE, labor education must be strengthened to help students develop social values, an interest in labor and finally an all-around development.(但是,教育部表示,必须加强劳动教育,帮助学生培养社会价值观、劳动兴趣,最终实现全面发展。)”可推知,增加劳动教育的目的是帮助学生全面发展。故选C项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Labor education ranges from household chores to on-campus labor and community volunteer services, generally 3 types according to the new standards(劳动教育包括家务劳动、校园劳动和社区志愿服务,根据新标准,一般分为三种类型)”可知,第二段主要讲了劳动教育的内容。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Finland begins to develop students’ life skills in primary school. Spinning, woodworking, cooking and other craftsmanship classes are offered. In Germany, pupils have two labor classes per week. Electronics, office technology, sewing, housekeeping, and career guidance are all taught there.(芬兰从小学开始培养学生的生活技能。提供纺纱、木工、烹饪和其他工艺课程。在德国,学生每周上两节劳动课。电子、办公技术、缝纫、家政和职业指导都在那里教授。)”可知,在芬兰和德国,学校劳动教育的课程都非常丰富。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。分析全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了劳动教育的必要性。结合最后一段“Adding labor education was out of concern that the country’s youngsters do too little housework and look down on manual labor (体力劳动) jobs. Due to great academic pressure, schools tend to put their academic curricula on the top, and parents sometimes see household chores as distractions. But, according to the MOE, labor education must be strengthened to help students develop social values, an interest in labor and finally an all-around development.(增加劳动教育是出于对该国年轻人做家务太少和看不起体力劳动的担忧(体力劳动) 工作。由于巨大的学业压力,学校往往把自己的学业课程放在首位,家长有时会把家庭琐事视为干扰。但是,根据教育部的说法,必须加强劳动教育,以帮助学生培养社会价值观、对劳动的兴趣,最终实现全面发展)”推知,鉴于劳动教育的必要性,学校要改变传统的学习第一位的观念,要重视劳动教育。故选D项。

Nowadays the Internet plays an important role in our daily life. Most of our lives ____36____ (record) online. We set up email and online shopping accounts; we download music, films, games and e-books; we post and repost on Sina Weibo and WeChat.

As ____39____ matter of fact, there are two types of digital legacy. One is what we buy with money, such as virtual coins and game equipment.

37. up 38. photos
39. a 40. their
41. is 42. really
43. to use 44. removed
45. which
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“数字遗产”的构成,类型及其应用等。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:我们大部分的生活都是在网上记录的。此处在句中作谓语,句子描述一般性事实,应用一般现在时,主语Most of our lives和动词record是被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是复数,故填are recorded。
【37题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:总之,这些东西构成了我们的“数字遗产”。make up固定搭配,意为“构成”,故填up。
【38题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:有了它,你可以把你的个人资料,如照片、视频、笔记和其他信息传递给你的朋友或家人。photo是可数名词,此处应用复数形式表示泛指,故填photos。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:事实上,有两种类型的数字遗产。as a matter of fact固定搭配,表示“事实上”,故填a。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意:因为它们值一些钱,所以可以传给家人。此处应用形容词性物主代词修饰名词短语family members,故填their。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:处理这些是一个困难的问题。句子描述一般性事实,应用一般现在时,主语是动名词,看成第三人称单数,所以be动词应用is。故填is。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意: 虽然你可能已经创建了自己的账户,但你并不真正拥有它们——互联网公司拥有。动词own应用副词really来修饰,故填really。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意: 你只有使用它们的权利。the right to do sth.固定搭配,意为“做某事的权利”,故填to use。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:有可能把所有东西都移走吗?宾语everything和动词remove是被动关系,应用过去分词作宾语补足语,故填removed。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:根据它,人们有权删除个人资料,这也被称为“被遗忘的权利”。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子,应用which来引导,故填which。

47. 阅读下面文章,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整短文,续写词数应为150左右。
One Saturday morning, I got a call from my aunt. She told me that she had to go with my uncle on a business trip for the day, and she wondered if I could look after my little 6-year-old cousin, Max. I knew that for them, leaving their dearest son for a day was the last thing in the whole world they would do, because they were what is known as “helicopter parents”, who keep watching everything their kids do. As a high school student, I knew exactly that children who were brought up by helicopter parents could end up having many problems and I hoped I could do something to improve the situation, so I accepted her request. Actually, I was honored to be trusted by such parents.
When I arrived there, my aunt and uncle were just ready to go out. The last thing my aunt said to me before they left was “Don’t let him hurt himself while we are away.” She repeated it several times until she thought I took it seriously. After they left, I tried to teach Max to play some games that might be against my aunt’s will, but failed. Max seemed not to be interested, and even frightened. I didn’t want to push him, so I decided to slow it down.
Around lunch time, Max asked me what was for lunch. I said, “I don’t know, what do you want ” He said, “Can you cook scrambled eggs ” I replied, “Of course I can!” “Well,” said Max, “I want some.” I asked him if he could cook. He looked at me in amazement, and said, “Of course not. Mom won’t allow me to approach the kitchen. She thinks I’ll be burnt if I try to do that, but I think it would be amazing to cook what I like on my own.”
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, I had an idea.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When my aunt and uncle returned, they saw Max cooking a dinner in the kitchen.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
Suddenly, I had an idea. Why not let him start with cooking I was quite good at cooking, so I thought this might be a good opportunity to teach Max a new skill. I told him my idea. Max jumped up and down when he heard that. Due to his height, I pulled up a chair and he stood on it. With my instructions and encouragement, he did well and became confident. Though we made the kitchen messy, we were satisfied with our work. We thought supper would be better.
When my aunt and uncle returned, they saw Max cooking a dinner in the kitchen. As I expected, she was shocked. At first, she was worried, fearing her son would fall off the chair or touch something hot. But seeing how well Max was cooking the meal, she was no longer worried. The moment Max saw her he stopped and shouted happily, “Mom, I can cook now.” My aunt felt really proud. “Thank you. I never let Max do anything he really wanted to because I feared he would get hurt. Now I should let him just go for it.”

My wife and I usually don’t keep houseplants. But after I was told I had cancer I wanted to be around some life. When my friend Mitch gave me a lucky bamboo plant in a bowl, we decided to place the plant next to the living room window across from the couch.
I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself. When it didn’t immediately turn yellow or brown or lose all of its leaves, I was pleasantly surprised. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of achievement at a time when I sometimes felt useless. As a doctor, I was used to being the one who provided care, not the one who received it. Watering the plant taught me I couldstill be a caregiver.
Over the next few months, I recovered from surgery and completed the first round of chemotherapy(化疗). Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush Both the tree and I were healthy.
Then,mysteriously, it began to show signs of stress. No matter what I did, the leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. I grew more and more frustrated and uneasy.
“I can’t even care for a simple plant!” I yelled “I’m failing!“ I couldn’t shake the feeling that the plant had become a symbol of my own health. I realized I had wrongly connected my careful caring for the plant-something over which I had at least some control-with my own survival something over which I had no control.
When my tumor(肿瘤) returned, it would not be because of any failure on my part. As my anxiety decreased, I began to research how to heal the plant. After moving it under a sunny window, we both began to thrive again.
Whenever I look at the tree in its new pot, I think of Mitch and all the people who supported me. If the plant outlives me, I hope it will comfort Hannah and remind her that our large community will continue to care for her after I am gone.

We’ve all been told that different types of fruits and vegetables have different benefits that help us keep healthy. A new international study has found that eating one fruit regularly can help reduce the risk of cancer (癌症), among those people who have a high risk of developing certain cancers.
The research, which followed almost 1,000 patients with a variety of cancers, found that taking regular resistant starch (抗酶解淀粉) could have a great preventative effect on the risk of cancer. Here’s what you need to know about how eating bananas regularly can help reduce the risk of cancers.
Resistant starch is found in green bananas. By eating green bananas your body gets resistant starch, which has been found to reduce the risk of cancers in some parts of the body by more than a half, according to the new research. The study, which was published in Cancer Prevention Research, was led by experts at the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds. It found that resistant starch, if taken regularly for two years, had a very good effect on some cancers, which can be difficult to find.
John Mathers, a professor at Newcastle University explained, “Resistant starch really helps in fact, which has several health benefits and fewer calories than regular starch.”
In addition to green bananas, resistant starch is also found in foods such as peas, beans and other starchy foods. In terms of bananas, experts think that eating one banana every day has the same effect as a certain amount of resistant starch. The secret is to eat the bananas before they become too ripe (成熟的) or soft.
8 What advantage does eating bananas regularly have
A. Avoid developing diseases. B. Suffer from no stress.
C. Have a lower risk of cancer. D. Expect a longer life.
9. Why can green bananas often help reduce the risk of cancer
A. They contain resistant starch. B. They help discover cancer.
C. They improve a person’s diet. D. They are quite healthy fruit.
10. What is John Mathers’ attitude to resistant starch
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Worried. D. Unclear.
11. What do the experts suggest people do
A. Find hidden cancers. B. Get enough sleep.
C. Take regular exercise. D. Eat green bananas daily.

Starting this fall, primary and middle school students in China will have at least one weekly course on labor education, according to a new curriculum standard released by the Ministry of Education (MOE).
Labor education ranges from household chores to on-campus labor and community volunteer services, generally 3 types according to the new standards: the first refers to everyday chores, including cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using and maintaining home appliances (家电); next is productive labor, including agriculture, making traditional handicrafts (手工艺品), and applying new technologies such as 3D printing; the third type is service work, including volunteer work. The new curriculum also calls for a week of extra-curricular and off-campus activities designed for labor education once every school year.
A recent study showed that primary and middle school students in China only spend an average of 12 minutes a day on chores, compared to 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France. Many countries start students’ labor education at a young age. Finland begins to develop students’ life skills in primary school. Spinning, woodworking, cooking and other craftsmanship classes are offered. In Germany, pupils have two labor classes per week. Electronics, office technology, sewing, housekeeping, and career guidance are all taught there.
Adding labor education was out of concern that the country’s youngsters do too little housework and look down on manual labor (体力劳动) jobs. Due to great academic pressure, schools tend to put their academic curricula on the top, and parents sometimes see household chores as distractions. But, according to the MOE, labor education must be strengthened to help students develop social values, an interest in labor and finally an all-around development.
12. What is the purpose of adding labor education
A. To enrich the students’ off-campus life.
B. To improve the students’ performance on learning.
C. To help students achieve an all-around development.
D. To follow the education mode of some western countries.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The history of labor education.
B. The content of labor education.
C. The significance of labor education.
D. The future development of labor education.
14. What does labor education in Finland and Germany have in common
A. They start labor education in the middle school.
B. There are a wide variety of labor education courses.
C. It is viewed more important than academic learning.
D. Students spend more than 30 minutes on housework daily.
15. What do we know about labor education in China
A. A week of extracurricular activities is a must every term.
B. Students decide whether to take the courses on their own.
C. Specially-designed courses have been applied for many years.
D. The school has to recognize the importance of labor education.

One Saturday morning, I got a call from my aunt. She told me that she had to go with my uncle on a business trip for the day, and she wondered if I could look after my little 6-year-old cousin, Max. I knew that for them, leaving their dearest son for a day was the last thing in the whole world they would do, because they were what is known as “helicopter parents”, who keep watching everything their kids do. As a high school student, I knew exactly that children who were brought up by helicopter parents could end up having many problems and I hoped I could do something to improve the situation, so I accepted her request. Actually, I was honored to be trusted by such parents.
When I arrived there, my aunt and uncle were just ready to go out. The last thing my aunt said to me before they left was “Don’t let him hurt himself while we are away.” She repeated it several times until she thought I took it seriously. After they left, I tried to teach Max to play some games that might be against my aunt’s will, but failed. Max seemed not to be interested, and even frightened. I didn’t want to push him, so I decided to slow it down.
Around lunch time, Max asked me what was for lunch. I said, “I don’t know, what do you want ” He said, “Can you cook scrambled eggs ” I replied, “Of course I can!” “Well,” said Max, “I want some.” I asked him if he could cook. He looked at me in amazement, and said, “Of course not. Mom won’t allow me to approach the kitchen. She thinks I’ll be burnt if I try to do that, but I think it would be amazing to cook what I like on my own.”
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, I had an idea.

Paragraph 2:
When my aunt and uncle returned, they saw Max cooking a dinner in the kitchen.
