The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug ” I laughed, “Of course you may!” “Why are you in college at such an age ” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids.….”
“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.
We became instant friends. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus star and she easily made friends wherever she went.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the stage. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”
There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.
At the year’s end Rose finished the college degrees he had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
4. Where did the author meet Rose
A. In the first day class of college. B. In the student union building.
C. In the professor’s office. D. At the football banquet.
5. Why did Rose go to college at such an old age
A. To find her love. B. To meet more friends.
C. To realize her college dream. D. To find humor that makes her laugh.
6. Which of the following idea would Rose agree with
A. Growing older means growing up. B. Growing up means becoming an adult.
C. Growing up doesn’t take any talent or ability. D. Growing up needs to take action to find chances.
7. Which words can best describe Rose
A. Old and talkative. B. Considerate and caring.
C. Positive and determined. D. Humorous and smart.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】

People who grew up in the country have a better sense of direction and navigational (导航) skills than those raised in cities, a study said Wednesday.
To find out how childhood environment influences navigation ability, scientists looked at how almost 400, 000 people from 38 countries played a mobile videogame designed for neuroscience research.
Players of the Sea Hero Quest game had to navigate a boat to find checkpoints (边防关卡) on a map, according to the study published in the Nature journal.
Co-lead author Antoine Coutrot of the University of Lyon said research had previously shown that when mice grew up in cages with complex paths, “certain abilities in their brains, including sense of space, were also improved.”
However, humans were a little trickier to study because “we cannot lock them up in cages,” he told AFP. So the researchers used Sea Hero Quest which was created in 2016 to study Alzheimer’s disease and has since been played by nearly 4 million people.
Coutrot said people who grew up in the countryside scored better because “the countryside is a rather complex environment since it is very unorganized, with greater distances, meaning you have to memorize your route (路线).”
However, people raised in more complex cities such as Paris, Chongqing and Prague did much better than those from cities with orderly planned streets like Chicago, he added.
And adults can still improve their sense of direction later in life if they work at it. “It’s a bit like learning another language, which will be much easier if you learned it when you were young,” Coutrot said.
12. How did the scientists carry out the study
A. By asking people about their childhood environment.
B. By observing how participants played a videogame.
C. By comparing mice with humans.
D. By studying the data collected
13. What caused people in the countryside to perform better in the study
A. The complex environment. B. The shorter distances.
C. The organized paths. D. Their better memory.
14. Which of the following may have the people with the worst navigational skills
A. Paris. B. Prague. C. Chicago. D. Chongqing.
15. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Adults Should Improve Their Sense of Direction Earlier
B. Childhood Environment Influences Navigation Ability
C. Mice Have Better Navigation Ability than Humans
D. People Raised in Cities are not Good at Navigation
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现在农村长大的人比在城市长大的人有更好的方向感和导航能力。介绍了研究开展的经过以及得出的结论。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To find out how childhood environment influences navigation ability, scientists looked at how almost 400, 000 people from 38 countries played a mobile videogame designed for neuroscience research.(为了找出童年环境是如何影响导航能力，科学家们观察了来自38个国家的近40万人是如何玩一款为神经科学研究设计的手机视频游戏的)”可知，科学家们通过观察参与者如何玩电子游戏进行这项研究。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Coutrot said people who grew up in the countryside scored better because “the countryside is a rather complex environment since it is very unorganized, with greater distances, meaning you have to memorize your route (路线).”(库洛特说，在农村长大的人得分更高，因为“农村是一个相当复杂的环境，因为它非常无组织，距离更远，这意味着你必须记住你的路线。”)”可知，复杂的环境导致农村人在研究中表现得更好。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, people raised in more complex cities such as Paris, Chongqing and Prague did much better than those from cities with orderly planned streets like Chicago, he added.(然而，他补充说，在巴黎、重庆和布拉格等更复杂的城市长大的人比在芝加哥等街道规划有序的城市长大的人表现要好得多)”可知，芝加哥的人导航技能最差。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“People who grew up in the country have a better sense of direction and navigational (导航) skills than those raised in cities, a study said Wednesday.(周三的一项研究表明，在农村长大的人比在城市长大的人有更好的方向感和导航能力)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现在农村长大的人比在城市长大的人有更好的方向感和导航能力。介绍了研究开展的经过以及得出的结论。可知，D选项“在城市长大的人不擅长导航”最符合文章标题。故选D。

【16题详解】
根据上文“Some people do not hold any selfish motives behind volunteering to help others.(有些人在自愿帮助别人的背后没有任何自私的动机)”以及后文“but have it with a purpose(但也有目的)”可知，上文提到了有些人无私帮助别人，后文but表示转折，与本句构成转折，故D选项“他们对有需要的人有无私的关怀”符合语境，故选D。
【17题详解】
根据标题“Satisfaction from giving back(回馈带来的满足感)”以及上文“Many of these people find it satisfactory to help needy individuals. This is due to their feeling of giving back to the society as a return to what they received.(这些人中的许多人觉得帮助有需要的人是令人满意的。这是由于他们回馈社会的感觉，作为对他们所得到的回报)”可知，本句旨在说明回馈社会得到的回报：给予别人一些东西会给他们带来快乐和内心的满足。故G选项“给予别人一些东西会给他们带来快乐和内心的满足”符合语境，故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“There are individuals who can spare a lot of time that needs to be invested in a fruitful activity.(有些人可以把大量的时间投入到富有成效的活动中)”以及后文“they might be struck by the thought of volunteering(他们可能会被志愿服务的想法所打动)”可知，上文提到了有些人可以把大量的时间投入到富有成效的活动中，后文提到被志愿服务想法打动，推测本句是在说明他们寻找富有成效的活动，故B选项“当他们寻找这样的活动时”符合语境，故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Volunteers are those people who love to meet new people and make friendships too.(志愿者是那些喜欢认识新朋友和交朋友的人)”以及后文“It is the same as people going to a community garden to find like-minded people.(这就像人们去社区花园寻找志同道合的人一样)”可知，上文提到志愿者是那些喜欢认识新朋友和交朋友的人，后文则说就像人们去社区花园寻找志同道合的人一样，说明志愿者寻找的是有相似兴趣的人，故F选项“他们可能在寻找其他有相似兴趣的人”符合语境，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Some people feel that volunteering for an activity in a particular environment can make them learn new concepts that can further be applied in their professional work environment. Thus, they acquire workplace experience when on volunteer visits.(有些人觉得在特定环境中做志愿者可以让他们学到新的概念，这些概念可以进一步应用到他们的专业工作环境中。因此，他们在志愿者访问中获得了工作经验)”可知，后文提到了志愿者可以学到新的概念，即获得额外的知识，故E选项“志愿服务也可以获得额外的知识”符合语境，故选E。

However, there ___39___ (be) a push to bring it back to dinner tables lately. This is ___40___ (large) due to the benefits of the meat.
Kangaroo meat is lean(脂肪少的) and has less than 2% fat. ___41___ addition, the BBC noted that kangaroos produce less methane (甲烷) than other ___42___ (animal), so they are considered to be more environmentally friendly.

【答案】36. a 37. was eaten
38. As 39. has been
40. largely
41. In 42. animals
43. to eat 44. them
45. why
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了吃袋鼠肉的好处以及大多数澳大利亚人拒绝食用袋鼠肉的原因。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：你能想象袋鼠肉是澳大利亚人的一种肉类来源吗？表示“一种来源”source是可数名词，且发音以辅音音素开头，所以前用不定冠词a。故填a。
37题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：澳大利亚土著居民吃袋鼠肉。eat与Kangaroo meat为动宾关系，用被动语态，Kangaroo meat作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数，吃袋鼠肉发生在过去，故用一般过去时。故填was eaten。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意：随着时间的推移，越来越多的人搬到城市，袋鼠肉变得不那么受欢迎。根据句意可知，此处应用连词as表示“随着……”。故填As。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意：然而，最近有一股推动它重返餐桌的力量。lately意为最近，与现在完成时连用，句子真正的主语为a push，因此用第三人称单数形式。故填has been。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：这主要是由于肉的好处。这里用副词形式，在句中作状语。故填largely。
【41题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：此外，BBC指出，袋鼠比其他动物产生的甲烷更少，因此被认为更环保。in addition“此外”，为固定搭配。故填In。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：此外，BBC指出，袋鼠比其他动物产生的甲烷更少，因此被认为更环保。animal为可数名词，上文没有冠词，由other修饰应用复数形式。故填animals。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，尽管有这些好处，大多数澳大利亚人仍然拒绝吃它。refuse to do“拒绝做某事”，为固定搭配。故填to eat。
【44题详解】
考查人称代词。句意：此外，吃袋鼠可能会让他们感到奇怪。填空处为make的宾语，应用人称代词宾格。故填them。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：受欢迎的电视剧《丛林袋鼠跳跳》是他们吃这种肉会感到不舒服的另一个原因。先行词为reason，在定语从句中作原因状语，所以用关系副词why引导。故填why。

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。
Monday started out great. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my first hour math test. I was confident of getting good grades. Then I left my house. Ten minutes later, I was settled with my friends on the school bus. We were busy chatting about how we spent our weekend. At one stop, Fat Ryan got on hurriedly. He tripped over someone’s foot accidentally and THUMP! He fell flat onto the floor.
Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily. Ryan struggled to his feet, dusted the jacket and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment. The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class. It wasn’t long before there went the lunch bell. I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall. Then I couldn’t help but notice Ryan a few tables away, sitting all alone. He caught me looking. I smiled at him quickly and looked away.
When we finished eating, we headed out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we would do at that night’s football game. After a little practice, we nailed the cheer, so we decided we only needed to go through it one last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe touch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans split down the middle of my backside.
I froze. I had no idea what to do but stand still. Then I heard people burst out laughing, and I saw them pointing at my torn jeans. Trying to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears began to well up in my eyes.
注意：
1. 续写词数应150左右;

Then I saw Ryan running towards me.

Paragraph 2:
That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Then I saw Ryan running towards me. Suddenly the scene struck me where he fell flat and I laughed at him crazily, I thought he would join in with those laughing at me. I lowered my head, my face burning with embarrassment. However, Ryan didn’t laugh. Instead, he approached me from behind, quickly took off his jacket and offered it to me, signaling to me to cover my torn jeans. Struggling against my tears, I did want to express my gratitude to him but courage failed me. I felt the courtyard in total silence.
That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan. I thanked him for giving me his jacket and returned it to him. Gathering my courage, I sincerely apologized to him for my misconduct on the bus, and thanked him for helping me out of an equally embarrassing situation. Ryan, with a broad smile, patted me on the shoulder and told me to forget about it, joking he fell like that a lot. I admired his honesty and sense of humor, and realized that he was someone I could be great friends with. Honestly, Monday was a great day indeed!

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug ” I laughed, “Of course you may!” “Why are you in college at such an age ” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids.….”
“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.
We became instant friends. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus star and she easily made friends wherever she went.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the stage. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”
There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.
At the year’s end Rose finished the college degrees he had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
4. Where did the author meet Rose
A. In the first day class of college. B. In the student union building.
C. In the professor’s office. D. At the football banquet.
5. Why did Rose go to college at such an old age
A. To find her love. B. To meet more friends.
C. To realize her college dream. D. To find humor that makes her laugh.
6. Which of the following idea would Rose agree with
A. Growing older means growing up. B. Growing up means becoming an adult.
C. Growing up doesn’t take any talent or ability. D. Growing up needs to take action to find chances.
7. Which words can best describe Rose
A. Old and talkative. B. Considerate and caring.
C. Positive and determined. D. Humorous and smart.

After the Beijing Olympic Winter Games, the Big Air Shougang is set to be used as a cultural and sport center for events from concerts to extreme skateboarding competitions as part of the capital’s plan to keep the landmark alive.
An industrial park built around an abandoned steel factory in the capital city, Big Air Shougang is a good show of urban transformation (城市转型) that hosted many world champions during Beijing 2022.
Zhao Weidong, spokesperson of the committee, said the office of the Beijing Organizing Committee is also located in the industrial park. The park was built at the site of a 100-year-old former steelworks of Shougang Group, which was shut down before the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics since it was a source of air pollution International Olympic Committee(IOC) President Thomas Bach set the industrial park as a model by the Beijing committee to practice sustainable development (可持续发展) in hosting the Olympics, making it an amazing example of urban planning and urban development, Zhao said.
But from now on, Big Air Shougang will “target younger people,” said a Big Air Shougang representative at a press conference on Wednesday.
Big Air Shougang will make a bid to host international competitions such as FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships and will also start international training camps with professional organizations to attract more young people t experience and participate in winter sports
In addition to sports, the venue (场馆) will also be used as a place for cultural activities such as concerts and light shows in order to get the venue into citizen’s everyday lives for free time and entertainment.
However, don’t expect these changes overnight “Our plans will need to be accomplished step by step,” a Big Air Shougang representative told the Global Times after the press conference.

People who grew up in the country have a better sense of direction and navigational (导航) skills than those raised in cities, a study said Wednesday.
To find out how childhood environment influences navigation ability, scientists looked at how almost 400, 000 people from 38 countries played a mobile videogame designed for neuroscience research.
Players of the Sea Hero Quest game had to navigate a boat to find checkpoints (边防关卡) on a map, according to the study published in the Nature journal.
Co-lead author Antoine Coutrot of the University of Lyon said research had previously shown that when mice grew up in cages with complex paths “certain abilities in their brains, including sense of space, were also improved.”
However, humans were a little trickier to study because “we cannot lock them up in cages,” he told AFP. So the researchers used Sea Hero Quest which was created in 2016 to study Alzheimer’s disease and has since been played by nearly 4 million people.
Coutrot said people who grew up in the countryside scored better because “the countryside is a rather complex environment since it is very unorganized, with greater distances, meaning you have to memorize your route (路线).”
However, people raised in more complex cities such as Paris, Chongqing and Prague did much better than those from cities with orderly planned streets like Chicago, he added.
And adults can still improve their sense of direction later in life if they work at it. “It’s a bit like learning another language, which will be much easier if you learned it when you were young,” Coutrot said.
12. How did the scientists carry out the study
A. By asking people about their childhood environment.
B. By observing how participants played a videogame.

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。
Monday started out great. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my first hour math test. I was confident of getting good grades. Then I left my house. Ten minutes later, I was settled with my friends on the school bus. We were busy chatting about how we spent our weekend. At one stop, Fat Ryan got on hurriedly. He tripped over someone’s foot accidentally and THUMP! He fell flat onto the floor.
Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily. Ryan struggled to his feet, dusted the jacket and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment. The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class. It wasn’t long before there went the lunch bell. I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall. Then I couldn’t help but notice Ryan a few tables away, sitting all alone. He caught me looking. I smiled at him quickly and looked away.
When we finished eating, we headed out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we would do at that night’s football game. After a little practice, we nailed the cheer, so we decided we only needed to go through it one last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe touch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans split down the middle of my backside.
I froze. I had no idea what to do but stand still. Then I heard people burst out laughing, and I saw them pointing at my torn jeans. Trying to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears began to well up in my eyes.
注意：
1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Then I saw Ryan running towards me.

That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan.
