When I was a boy growing up, I couldn’t once ever remember either my mom or my grandma wasting food. Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was saved, stored and served as leftovers later on. I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of brown beans with a large cake of cornbread. We would all eat until we were stuffed, but there was always about half of the beans left over. A few days later, my grandma would take those beans out of the refrigerator, boil spaghetti (意大利面), add vegetables and mix them all together into her delicious spaghetti. I also remember when I watched my mom fry bacon for us in the morning, she would always take the oil and carefully pour it into a container. Then she later would use it to flavor so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that green beans didn’t actually taste like bacon.
I learned their lessons well and tried to never waste food myself after I grew up. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list, so nothing went to waste. Every meal went into the stomach and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys or my dogs. To me, throwing food in the trash was just wrong. All the work it took to grow it, harvest it and prepare it needed to be honored, not wasted.
However, I have learned something else over the years. When it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life can’t be saved. Life can’t be stored. Life has to be lived, TODAY.
Live each moment of your life to the fullest then. Make every day a feast of love with no leftovers Leo Buscaglia once said, “Each day is a fresh beginning, a little life to itself,” Don’t let any of these little lives go to waste. They are gifts. Cherish them. Care for them. Chow down on them. Live your life with a full belly and a full heart.
4. What did the author’s grandma do with the leftover beans
A. She used them to feed pets.
B. She threw them in the garbage.
C She used them to make delicious spaghetti.
D. She reserved them in the refrigerator.
5. After the author grew up, how did she arrange the week’s meals
A. She threw away any leftovers.
B. She bought what was necessary as scheduled.
C. She bought more food materials than necessary.
D. She had all the leftovers eaten by her dogs.
6. Why did the author think throwing food in the trash was wrong
A. There wasn’t enough food for her.
B. She thought food was expensive.
C. She thought it was bad behavior.
D. It took much work to produce food.
7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To cherish everything we own.
B. To remind us to eat leftovers.
C. To introduce her mom and grandma.
D. To advocate the Clean Plate Campaign.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A

A device floating in the water off the coast of southern Chile aims to collect data on nearty whales to protect them from passing ships
The first electronic buoy(浮标) was recently placed in the sea in the Gulf of Corcovado. The device is designed to listen to the sounds whales make when they communicate with each other. The animals use sounds to map their movements and to hunt. The sounds are processed by artificial intelligence (AI )-powered computer systems in an effort to identify where the animals are. This information is then sent to shipping operators to help them avoid crashing in to whales
A non-profit organization put the buoy in place. The group seeks to develop technology tools to provide a warning system for shipping companies. In addition to helping protect whales the "smart" buoy also collects data on the health of the ocean and the effects of climate change. The Gulf of Corcovado is rich in sea life, including a large number of blue whales, as well as Southern right whales, which are endangered now. The population of the area's whales is the largest during the summer season in the Southern Hemisphere
"This is the beginning of a longer road," said Sonia Espanol, director of organization. She noted that her team planned to cover the gulf with at least six buoys. The buoy works by using software called Listening to the Deep Ocean Environment. The device continuously monitors ocean sounds. It uses AI to identify the kind of whales and where they are in real time. It then sends messages to nearby ships, so they can alleviate noise levels and try to avoid crashes.
The buoys also contain sensors to measure water temperatures, oxygen levels and more to predict ocean health and the effects of climate change. That information is expected to be used to help guide public environmental policies
8. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us
A. The necessity of protecting whales
B. The important role of whales' sounds
C. The unique ways of whales' communication
D. The working process of the electronic buoy
9. What information can the buoys collect
A. The health of whales B. The change of sea life
C. The condition of the ocean D. The cause of climate change
10. What does the underlined word "alleviate" in paragraph 4 mean
A. Rid B. Collect C. Reduce D. Recognize
11. What is the purpose of the information collected by the buoys
A. To guide public environmental policies
B. To improve the ocean's oxygen levels
C. To solve the problem of climate change
D. To instruct passing ships to go smoothly
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种电子浮标(buoy)的使用,该浮标可以监听鲸鱼之间的通信声音,并收集关于海洋健康、海洋生物变化和气候变化影响的数据,这些数据有望被用于指导公共环境政策。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第二段中“The device is designed to listen to the sounds whales make when they communicate with each other.(该设备旨在聆听鲸鱼相互交流时发出的声音)”及“The sounds are processed by artificial intelligence (AI )-powered computer systems in an effort to identify where the animals are. This information is then sent to shipping operators to help them avoid crashing in to whales.(这些声音由人工智能驱动的计算机系统处理,以识别动物的位置。然后将这些信息发送给航运运营商,以帮助他们避免撞到鲸。)”可知第二段主要是要告诉读者电子浮标的工作过程。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In addition to helping protect whales the "smart" buoy also collects data on the health of the ocean and the effects of climate change.(除了帮助保护鲸鱼外,“智能”浮标还收集有关海洋健康和气候变化影响的数据。)”可知,浮标收集有关海洋健康和气候变化影响的数据,即关于海洋状况的数据,故选C项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中“It then sends messages to nearby ships, so they can alleviate noise levels and try to avoid crashes.(然后,它会向附近的船只发送消息,以便它们可以……噪音水平并尽量避免碰撞。)”可知船只发出的噪音会对海洋生物产生影响,浮标收集数据来实时识别鲸鱼的种类和它们的位置,并向附近的船只发消息,在通过鲸鱼群时可以减少噪音水平来避免碰撞。推测划线单词的意思为“减少,降低”,故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“That information is expected to be used to help guide public environmental policies.(预计这些信息将用于帮助指导公共环境政策。)”可知,浮标收集信息的目的是为了指导公共环境政策,故选A项。

The National Parks Service has confirmed the discovery of an ancient crab (螃蟹) fossil (化石) found along the shores of Assateague Island National Seashore.
Sharon Conn, a visitor to the area, found the fossil in early October on the shore of Assateague Island. “It is very uncommon to find fossils of this nature. We have a very small number in our museum collection. That is what makes this discovery very exciting,” Liz Davis chief of Assateague Island National Seashore said.
The parks service identified the rare blue crab fossil with the help of the Department of Paleobiology. Matthew Mille, museum specialist at the National Museum of Natural History, tested the fossil to find out how it is. He concluded it was likely from the Pleistocene age, about 2 million years ago. “The extra rock around it is such a well tough ground that it can’t be easily eroded (腐蚀),” he said. “The claw did erode a bit though — which is why it isn’t immediately recognized as a claw. Gone are the tips and parts of the infilled area where the original flesh would have been through, making the whole fossil looks a bit strange.”
The fossil was found on public land and is protected by law. Davis told the Daily Times it was currently at the National Parks Service Toms Cove Visitor Center in Virginia. “We hope to have a small collection of fossils on display at the NPS Assateague Island Vistior Center in Maryland later in 2022,” said Davis.
12. What does Liz Davis think of the ancient crab fossil
A. It is invaluable. B. It is very old. C. It is imperfect. D. It is rare.
13. How old is the fossil according to the text
A. Around 2 million years old.
B. 2 million years old.
C. 3 million years old.
D. Less than 2 million years old.
14. Whom do you think the fossil should belong to
A. Sharon Conn. B. The country. C. Liz Davis. D. The National Parks Service.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. A Lucky Visitor. B. Assateague Island.
C. An Ancient Blue Fossil. D. An Important Discovery.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍古代螃蟹化石被发现这一重要事件。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后三句““It is very uncommon to find fossils of this nature. We have a very small number in our museum collection. That is what makes this discovery very exciting,” Liz Davis chief of Assateague Island National Seashore said. (“发现这种性质的化石非常罕见。我们博物馆收藏的数量非常少。这就是为什么这一发现非常令人兴奋,”阿萨提格岛国家海岸的负责人利兹·戴维斯说。)”可知,利兹·戴维斯认为这种性质的化石非常罕见。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“He concluded it was likely from the Pleistocene age, about 2 million years ago. (他得出结论,它可能来自更新世时代,大约200万年前。)”可知,这块化石来自大约200万年前。所以这块化石有大约200万年了。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据末段首句“The fossil was found on public land and is protected by law. (这块化石是在公共土地上发现的,受法律保护。)”可知,这块化石在公共区域被发现,所以应属于国家。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是首段“The National Parks Service has confirmed the discovery of an ancient crab (螃蟹) fossil (化石) found along the shores of Assateague Island National Seashore. (美国国家公园管理局证实,在阿萨提格岛国家海岸发现了一只古代螃蟹化石。)”可知,本文主要介绍古代螃蟹化石被发现这一重要事件。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了2020年,悉尼的一家濒临倒闭的糖果店利用抖音重新获得新生的故事。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:因此,创始人大卫·金(David King)决定听取女儿安娜贝尔(Anabelle)的建议:加入了抖音,在网上展示制作糖果的过程。根据空前形容词性物主代词its可知,此处用名词owner,作句子的主语。故填owner。
【42题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意:但是安娜贝尔,当时是她高中的最后一年,想要更进一步。分析句子可知,“ was in her last year of high school at the time”为非限制性定语从句,先行词为“Anabelle”,指人,在从句中为主语,所以用关系代词who,故填who。
【43题详解】
考查不定式。句意:她试图说服父亲为Sticky创建一个抖音页面。短语:convince sb. to do“说服某人做某事”,因此空处用不定式to start,作动词convince的补语,故填to start。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:金一开始有些犹豫,但他让安娜贝尔试一试。短语:give it a try“试一试”,故填a。
【45题详解】
考查现在完成时和主谓一致。句意:自从他们两年前开通这个账号以来,这个账户已经获得了来自世界各地的600万粉丝。空处在句中为谓语,结合句中“Since they made the account(账户) two years ago”可知,空处的时态用现在完成时;句子主语“the Kings”指代上文“the account”为单数含义,所以空处助动词用has,故填has gained。
【46题详解】
考查介词。句意:除了业务的增长,抖音的成功也改变了安娜贝尔的生活。短语:aside from“除……之外”,故填from。
【47题详解】
考查副词。句意:更重要的是,我们创造了一个充满力量和温馨的社区。空处在句中为状语,所以此处用副词importantly,故填importantly。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。空处在句中作定语,修饰名词community,所以此处用形容词powerful,故填powerful。
【49题详解】
考查主谓一致和时态。句意:现在,糖果店又忙起来了,这一次有庞大的粉丝和支持者站在后面。空处在句中为谓语,结合时间状语“now”可知,时态为一般现在时;句子主语“the candy shop”为第三人称单数,所以此处用is,故填is。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语。句意同上。分析句子可知,空处及其后的内容为定语,修饰名词短语“fans and supporters”,动词“stand”与名词短语“fans and supporters”为主谓关系,所以空处用现在分词standing,表主动。故填standing。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和同学一起学习,解决问题的故事。
【详解】1. 考查名词复数。句意:下课后,除了我和珍妮,我们的数学老师和所有的同学都离开了教室。分析句子结构可知,all后可接可数名词复数形式,且此处表示复数概念,指“所有的同学们”。故将classmate改为classmates。
2. 考查代词。句意:我们都忙着做作业。前文提到“Jenny and me”(珍妮和我)由此判断,本文使用了第一人称,此处应使用第一人称代词。故将They改为We。
3. 考查宾语从句。句意:她不知道怎么算这道数学题。分析句子结构可知,此处是宾语从句,根据句意此处应表示“方式”,可使用连接副词how引导宾语从句。故将what改为how。
4. 考查介词。句意:她不知道怎么算这道数学题。分析句子结构可知,solve(解决)为及物动词,后直接接名词。故去掉at。
5. 考查动词时态。句意:我擅长数学,所以我决定帮她。分析文章时态可知,文章使用了一般过去时,且此处陈述过去事实,因此也应使用一般过去时。故将decide改为decided。

7. 考查固定短语。句意:过了一会,Jenny在我的帮助下终于算出了这道数学题。分析句子结构可知,此处是固定短语with one's help,意为“在.....的帮助下”。故将under改为with。
8. 考查固定句型。句意:她很高兴,她感谢我伸出援助之手。分析句子结构可知,此处是固定句型so+adj.+that从句。故将such改为so。
9. 考查冠词。句意:她很高兴,她感谢我伸出援助之手。分析句子结构可知,此处为固定短语give a hand,意为“帮忙”,且helping为辅音音素开头的单词,可使用不定冠词a进行修饰。故在helping前加a。
10. 考查形容词。句意:看到我的一点帮助使她不再感到难过,真是令人惊奇。分析句子结构可知,此处是固定句型it is +adj. to do sth.,句中主语是物,因此需使用ed结尾的形容词在句中作表语。故将amazed改为amazing。

When I was a boy growing up, I couldn’t once ever remember either my mom or my grandma wasting food. Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was saved, stored and served as leftovers later on. I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of brown beans with a large cake of cornbread. We would all eat until we were stuffed, but there was always about half of the beans left over. A few days later, my grandma would take those beans out of the refrigerator, boil spaghetti (意大利面), add vegetables and mix them all together into her delicious spaghetti. I also remember when I watched my mom fry bacon for us in the morning, she would always take the oil and carefully pour it into a container. Then she later would use it to flavor so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that green beans didn’t actually taste like bacon.
I learned their lessons well and tried to never waste food myself after I grew up. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list, so nothing went to waste. Every meal went into the stomach and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys or my dogs. To me, throwing food in the trash was just wrong. All the work it took to grow it, harvest it and prepare it needed to be honored, not wasted.
However, I have learned something else over the years. When it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life can’t be saved. Life can’t be stored. Life has to be lived, TODAY.
Live each moment of your life to the fullest then. Make every day a feast of love with no leftovers, Leo Buscaglia once said, “Each day is a fresh beginning, a little life to itself,” Don’t let any of these little lives go to waste. They are gifts. Cherish them. Care for them. Chow down on them. Live your life with a full belly and a full heart.
4. What did the author’s grandma do with the leftover beans
A. She used them to feed pets.
B. She threw them in the garbage.
C. She used them to make delicious spaghetti.
D She reserved them in the refrigerator.
5. After the author grew up, how did she arrange the week’s meals
A. She threw away any leftovers.
B. She bought what was necessary as scheduled.
C. She bought more food materials than necessary.
D. She had all the leftovers eaten by her dogs.
6. Why did the author think throwing food in the trash was wrong
A There wasn’t enough food for her.
B. She thought food was expensive.
C. She thought it was bad behavior.
D. It took much work to produce food.
7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To cherish everything we own.
B. To remind us to eat leftovers.
C. To introduce her mom and grandma.
D. To advocate the Clean Plate Campaign.
C
A device floating in the water off the coast of southern Chile aims to collect data on nearty whales to protect them from passing ships
The first electronic buoy(浮标) was recently placed in the sea in the Gulf of Corcovado. The device is designed to listen to the sounds whales make when they communicate with each other. The animals use sounds to map their movements and to hunt. The sounds are processed by artificial intelligence (AI )-powered computer systems in an effort to identify where the animals are. This information is then sent to shipping operators to help them avoid crashing in to whales
A non-profit organization put the buoy in place. The group seeks to develop technology tools to provide a warning system for shipping companies. In addition to helping protect whales the "smart" buoy also collects data on the health of the ocean and the effects of climate change. The Gulf of Corcovado is rich in sea life, including a large number of blue whales, as well as Southern right whales, which are endangered now. The population of the area's whales is the largest during the summer season in the Southern Hemisphere
"This is the beginning of a longer road," said Sonia Espanol, director of organization. She noted that her team planned to cover the gulf with at least six buoys. The buoy works by using software called Listening to the Deep Ocean Environment. The device continuously monitors ocean sounds. It uses AI to identify the kind of whales and where they are in real time. It then sends messages to nearby ships, so they can alleviate noise levels and try to avoid crashes.
The buoys also contain sensors to measure water temperatures, oxygen levels and more to predict ocean health and the effects of climate change. That information is expected to be used to help guide public environmental policies
8. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us
A. The necessity of protecting whales
B. The important role of whales' sounds
C. The unique ways of whales' communication
D. The working process of the electronic buoy
9. What information can the buoys collect
A. The health of whales B. The change of sea life
C. The condition of the ocean D. The cause of climate change
10. What does the underlined word "alleviate" in paragraph 4 mean
A. Rid B. Collect C. Reduce D. Recognize
11. What is the purpose of the information collected by the buoys
A. To guide public environmental policies
B. To improve the ocean's oxygen levels
C. To solve the problem of climate change
D. To instruct passing ships to go smoothly
D
The National Parks Service has confirmed the discovery of an ancient crab (螃蟹) fossil (化石) found along the shores of Assateague Island National Seashore.
Sharon Conn, a visitor to the area, found the fossil in early October on the shore of Assateague Island. “It is very uncommon to find fossils of this nature. We have a very small number in our museum collection. That is what makes this discovery very exciting,” Liz Davis chief of Assateague Island National Seashore said.
The parks service identified the rare blue crab fossil with the help of the Department of Paleobiology. Matthew Mille, museum specialist at the National Museum of Natural History, tested the fossil to find out how it is. He concluded it was likely from the Pleistocene age, about 2 million years ago. “The extra rock around it is such a well tough ground that it can’t be easily eroded (腐蚀),” he said. “The claw did erode a bit though — which is why it isn’t immediately recognized as a claw. Gone are the tips and parts of the infilled area where the original flesh would have been through, making the whole fossil looks a bit strange.”
The fossil was found on public land and is protected by law. Davis told the Daily Times it was currently at the National Parks Service Toms Cove Visitor Center in Virginia. “We hope to have a small collection of fossils on display at the NPS Assateague Island Vistior Center in Maryland later in 2022,” said Davis.
12. What does Liz Davis think of the ancient crab fossil
A. It is invaluable. B. It is very old. C. It is imperfect. D. It is rare.
13. How old is the fossil according to the text
A. Around 2 million years old.
B. 2 million years old.
C. 3 million years old.
D. Less than 2 million years old.
14. Whom do you think the fossil should belong to
A. Sharon Conn. B. The country. C. Liz Davis. D. The National Parks Service.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. A Lucky Visitor. B. Assateague Island.
C. An Ancient Blue Fossil. D. An Important Discovery.

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water: we don’t know how much we depend on them until we don’t have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we are, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here’s how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.
Strike up a conversation.
Often neighbors don’t even know each other’s names.
