What Is Your Next Destination
Taste Tea in China
One of the oldest cultural landscapes in China is chosen to become one of the country’s newest UNESCO World Heritage sites in 2022. The Ancient Tea Plantations of Jingmai Mountain in Pu’er features about 1.13 million tea trees. Located in China’s Yunnan Province, the region was a sating point of the legendary Ancient Tea Horse Road. Many of the region’s tea plantations remain, as do the four local ethnic minority groups — the Blang, Dai, Hani, and Wa people — who preserve their own languages, customs, and festivals.
Dive Deep in Palau
When you arrive here, the stamp in your passport will include the Palau Pledge (誓约), which all visitors must sign, promising that “the only footprints I shall leave are those that will wash away.” The eco-pledge was drafted by and for the children of these remote western Pacific islands to help preserve Palau’s culture and environment from the negative impacts of tourism. Eighty percent of the nation’s waters is preserved as the Palau National Marine Sanctuary.
Run Wild in Australia
Green shoots of regeneration are appearing in Australia of which some 72,000 square miles were, burned during the 2019-2020 bushfires, leading to the deaths of nearly three dozen people and more than a billion animals. Drive the Great Ocean Road, in Victoria’s Otways region, and then take a hike at Wildlife Wonders, an educational ancient forest and waterfalls. Wandering through bushes gives a chance to spot koalas unique to this ecosystem.
Go Green in Germany
Mining and steel production once dominated the crowded Ruhr Valley in Germany’s western state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Today, the region is repurposing previous industrial sites as parks and open air cultural spaces. The most famous is the UNESCO Word Heritage site of Zeche Zollverein, now home to an outdoor swimming pool, ice rink, and walking tails. You can rent a bike in Essen for a car-free Ruhr Valley trip along cycling routes.

The old shed (棚屋) in Mitchell’s backyard was seen as run down and depressing, but the self described DIY enthusiast saw a relaxing pleasure. Unfortunately, as she set about transforming the forgotten shed into a stylish “she shed”, a private vacation home, Mitchell was disappointed that social distancing rules meant she couldn’t invite her friends over. So she decided to share the progress with her 34 followers, mostly close friends on TikTok.
Over the next 10 days, Mitchell began to empty the contents of the shed so that it could be cleaned. After that, she gave the shed fresh white paint. Once the paint had dried, she hung fairy lights, filled the space with plants and added a television and refrigerator donated by neighbors. She even built herself a daybed.
Happy to be out in the sun, putting her DIY skills to good use and sharing the adventure with her friends, Mitchell could never have predicted what happened next. Known as “she shed girl” , Mitchell now has an astonishing 2.7 million followers on TikTok, where she shares DIY tips and snippets (片段) of her life as a freshman at Aquinas College in Michigan, US. Encouraged by the success of her first project, Mitchell turned her attention to the family’s pool house, imagining it was a charming pub shed.
Commenting on Mitchell’s impressive shed renovation (翻修), the experts at My Tool Shed DIY said, “Stress levels have risen in the last year due to the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic. Now people need time to do something they love. Having a dedicated (专门用途的) space like a ‘she shed’ can be perfect for this.”
4. Why did Mitchell transform the shed
A. To drive away boredom. B. To share it with her family.
C. To avoid social distancing. D. To change people’s view of it.
5. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. What the shed would be used for. B. How Mitchell decorated the shed.
C. How Mitchell shared snippets on TikTok. D. What Mitchell did during the pandemic.
6. What was unexpected for Mitchell in the third paragraph
A. People’s love for DIY. B. The comments on TikTok.
C. The popularity of her video. D. The pool house renovation plan.
7. What is the opinion of the experts in the text
A. DIY is a perfect activity for people.
B. The pandemic gives people time for their hobbies.
C. People should create a space to prevent disturbance.
D. People can do something they like to reduce pressure.
C
Libraries are romantic places. The romance is that of reading, and the wealth of human imagining and learning that is contained in them. Access to the knowledge and literary art poetry, fiction, drama)in a library is precious -and particularly valuable to young minds and people of any age with an interest in education.
It would be hard to find anyone who actively disapproves of libraries. But when it comes to reality, Britain’s libraries are on less solid ground. The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March.2021 was 72.9m,down 56%on the previous year. Physical visits also collapsed, from 214.6m to 59.7m.
Of course, this is the behaviour that one would expect during a pandemic. Many libraries were closed during this period, while people were discouraged from unnecessary mixing. Book sales climbed to their highest in a decade in 2021, which suggests that some former users of libraries may have bought books instead.
Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single bookshelves, appear to be developing well. But the hope must be that visits and loans at public libraries will soon return to their former level too. Like any other service, libraries need users. And while booksellers might in one sense be regarded as competitors, in fact the vast majority of those involved in the trade, from publishers to poets, are library lovers.
This has something to do with the romantic idea of the reader as explorer, with every book a door to a new store of feeling or understanding. But it also involves the recognition that if books are to form part of our life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured possessions, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others -and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity.
8 What has happened to British libraries
A. They have been in a bad state. B. They have become romantic places.
C. They have got great appeal for artists. D. They have suffered great loss of users.
9. What has led to the home library boom in Britain
A. People avoid close contact in public. B. Many libraries have been pulled down.
C. People have access to affordable books. D. More people disapprove of public libraries.
10. What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph
A. Books are personal belongings. B. Libraries are a paradise for adventurers.
C. Books should be attached importance to. D. Libraries contribute to human connection.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. Libraries will fade out of stage. B. Libraries will hold a promising future.
C. Booksellers benefit from libraries’ collapse. D. The pandemic has boosted British book sales.
D
When you throw something in the recycling bin, do you think about what it could become And when you do, does it make you more likely to use that recycling bin Recently, a study was conducted in an effort to decide whether or not explaining to people what their recyclables are transformed into would help increase recycling rates.
The researchers started with a group of 111 college students, asked to draw on paper before watching one of three ads.One was a public service message that showed paper going into recycling bins.The other two also showed the paper either being transformed into new paper or a guitar.After completing a survey, the students were asked to deal with the paper when they left. Half of those who saw the first ad recycled their paper, while the recycling rate jumped to 80% for those who'd seen the other ads.
After doing a few more lab experiments, the researchers headed into the real world.At a party, volunteers spoke with attendees (出席者) about recycling, with half mentioning transformed products and half keeping it general.They discovered the subject of the talks came into play.After the game, the recycling and trash bags were weighed.Those who received a message recycled over half of their waste, while those who did not recycled less than a fifth.
All this is to say that details matter.People want to know what treasures their trash can become, and when that's laid out clearly, they' re more likely to do it.Perhaps recycling companies should redesign signs to describe the items being created.Recycling is far from a perfect solution,but it doesn't hurt to manage to improve its rates.
12. What's the function of the first paragraph
A. To lead to the main topic.
B. To reflect the author's attitude.
C. To introduce a new recycling bin.
D. 1 To emphasize the benefits of recycling.
13. What does the underlined part“came into play”in paragraph 3 mean
A. Took effect.
B. Broke down.
C. Took off.
D. Came to mind.
14. What does the author advise recycling companies to do
A. Sign the names on the items.
B. Find perfect ways of recycling.
C. Examine the details of items.
D. Show the transformation of waste.
15. In which column of the website does the text probably appear
A. Sports and games.
B. Travel and tourism.
C. Entertainment and recreation.
D. Science and human life.

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。
I was a 20-year-old nursing student in 1968, assigned as Chris’s post-operative nurse.
Chris was an eight-year-old boy filled with energy, who excelled in every sport he played. Disobeying his parents’ words, he explored a neighbor’s construction site, climbed a ladder, and fell, which got him a broken arm that later had to be cut off.
The first few days passed quickly. I provided Chris’s physical care with forced cheerfulness. As his need for medication decreased, his level of awareness increased, as did his moodiness. When I offered him the towel for a sponge bath and suggested he take over, he washed his face and neck with great difficulty, then quit. And I finished.
The next day, I insisted on his doing whole bath by himself. He was more than halfway through when he sat down and said, “I can’t make it!”
“You won’t be in the hospital much longer,” I said gently. “You need to learn to take care of yourself.”
“Well, I can’t,” he frowned. “How can I do anything with just one hand ”
Putting on my brightest face, I searched for a silver lining in my mind. Finally I said, “Sure you can do it, Chris. At least you have your right hand.”
He turned his face away and muttered, “I’m left-handed. At least I used to be.” Suddenly, I felt ashamed. How could I have taken right-handedness for granted It seemed he and I both had a lot to learn.
The next morning, I greeted Chris with a big smile and a rubber band. He looked at me suspiciously. I put my right hand behind my back and kept it there by winding the rubber band around my uniform buttons. “You’re left-handed and I’m right-handed,” I said, “Every time I ask you to do something with your right hand, I will do it first, with my left hand. And I promise not to practice before I see you.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150词左右;

【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍4个旅游胜地。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Taste Tea in China部分“Many of the region’s tea plantations remain, as do the four local ethnic minority groups — the Blang, Dai, Hani, and Wa people — who preserve their own languages, customs, and festivals.(这个地区的许多茶园保留了下来,当地的四个少数民族——布朗族、傣族、哈尼族和佤族——也保留了他们自己的语言、习俗和节日)”可知,在京麦山的古茶园,游客们可以体验少数民族文化。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Dive Deep in Palau部分“When you arrive here, the stamp in your passport will include the Palau Pledge (誓约), which all visitors must sign, promising that “the only footprints I shall leave are those that will wash away.” (当你们到达这里时,你们护照上的印章会包括帕劳共和国的承诺,所有的游客都必须签字,承诺“我留下的唯一的足迹就是那些会被冲走的脚印。”)”可知,游客们被要求做出承诺是为了保护当地的环境。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Run Wild in Australia部分“Drive the Great Ocean Road, in Victoria’s Otways region, and then take a hike at Wildlife Wonders, an educational ancient forest and waterfalls.

The old shed (棚屋) in Mitchell’s backyard was seen as run down and depressing, but the self described DIY enthusiast saw a relaxing pleasure. Unfortunately, as she set about transforming the forgotten shed into a stylish “she shed”, a private vacation home, Mitchell was disappointed that social distancing rules meant she couldn’t invite her friends over. So she decided to share the progress with her 34 followers, mostly close friends on TikTok.
Over the next 10 days, Mitchell began to empty the contents of the shed so that it could be cleaned. After that, she gave the shed fresh white paint. Once the paint had dried, she hung fairy lights, filled the space with plants and added a television and refrigerator donated by neighbors. She even built herself a daybed.
Happy to be out in the sun, putting her DIY skills to good use and sharing the adventure with her friends, Mitchell could never have predicted what happened next. Known as “she shed girl” , Mitchell now has an astonishing 2.7 million followers on TikTok, where she shares DIY tips and snippets (片段) of her life as a freshman at Aquinas College in Michigan, US. Encouraged by the success of her first project, Mitchell turned her attention to the family’s pool house, imagining it was a charming pub shed.
Commenting on Mitchell’s impressive shed renovation (翻修), the experts at My Tool Shed DIY said, “Stress levels have risen in the last year due to the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic. Now people need time to do something they love. Having a dedicated (专门用途) space like a ‘she shed’ can be perfect for this.”

Libraries are romantic places. The romance is that of reading, and the wealth of human imagining and learning that is contained in them. Access to the knowledge and literary art poetry, fiction, drama)in a library is precious -and particularly valuable to young minds and people of any age with an interest in education.
It would be hard to find anyone who actively disapproves of libraries. But when it comes to reality, Britain’s libraries are on less solid ground. The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March.2021 was 72.9m,down 56%on the previous year. Physical visits also collapsed, from 214.6m to 59.7m.
Of course, this is the behaviour that one would expect during a pandemic. Many libraries were closed during this period, while people were discouraged from unnecessary mixing. Book sales climbed to their highest in a decade in 2021, which suggests that some former users of libraries may have bought books instead.
Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single bookshelves, appear to be developing well. But the hope must be that visits and loans at public libraries will soon return to their former level too. Like any other service, libraries need users. And while booksellers might in one sense be regarded as competitors, in fact the vast majority of those involved in the trade, from publishers to poets, are library lovers.
This has something to do with the romantic idea of the reader as explorer, with every book a door to a new store of feeling or understanding. But it also involves the recognition that if books are to form part of our life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured possessions, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others -and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity.
8. What has happened to British libraries
A. They have been in a bad state. B. They have become romantic places.

11. What is the main idea of the text

D
When you throw something in the recycling bin, do you think about what it could become And when you do, does it make you more likely to use that recycling bin Recently, a study was conducted in an effort to decide whether or not explaining to people what their recyclables are transformed into would help increase recycling rates.
The researchers started with a group of 111 college students, asked to draw on paper before watching one of three ads.One was a public service message that showed paper going into recycling bins.The other two also showed the paper either being transformed into new paper or a guitar.After completing a survey, the students were asked to deal with the paper when they left. Half of those who saw the first ad recycled their paper, while the recycling rate jumped to 80% for those who'd seen the other ads.
After doing a few more lab experiments, the researchers headed into the real world.At a party, volunteers spoke with attendees (出席者) about recycling, with half mentioning transformed products and half keeping it general.They discovered the subject of the talks came into play.After the game, the recycling and trash bags were weighed.Those who received a message recycled over half of their waste, while those who did not recycled less than a fifth.
All this is to say that details matter.People want to know what treasures their trash can become, and when that's laid out clearly, they' re more likely to do it.Perhaps recycling companies should redesign signs to describe the items being created.Recycling is far from a perfect solution,but it doesn't hurt to manage to improve its rates.
12. What's the function of the first paragraph
A. To lead to the main topic.
B. To reflect the author's attitude.
C. To introduce a new recycling bin.
D. 1 To emphasize the benefits of recycling.
13. What does the underlined part“came into play”in paragraph 3 mean
A. Took effect.
B. Broke down.
C. Took off.
D. Came to mind.
14. What does the author advise recycling companies to do
A. Sign the names on the items.
B. Find perfect ways of recycling.
C. Examine the details of items.
D. Show the transformation of waste.
15. In which column of the website does the text probably appear
A. Sports and games.
B. Travel and tourism.
C. Entertainment and recreation.
D. Science and human life.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. D

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个考古发现:考古学家在墨西哥南部,发现了一艘玛雅人的木船。

4.考查冠词。句意:此外,它的三维模型也会被制作出来,以便复制,以便进一步研究。分析可知,此处指这艘木制的玛雅船的3D模型会被制作出来,所以表示特指。故填The。
5.考查名词复数。句意同上。空白处为动词,所以此处要用名词作宾语。copy“复制品”为可数名词,结合句中“to be made, and to facilitate further study”而复制品不是一个,所以此处要用复数。故填copies。
6.考查宾语从句。句意:在他们的时代,玛雅人统治着现在墨西哥南部危地马拉,伯利兹和洪都拉斯的大片领土。分析可知, ___6___ is now southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Honduras为宾语从句,空白处在句中作主语,意为“什么”,所以填连接代词what。故填what。
7.考查固定短语。句意:这艘船在公元后830年和950年期间就已经被追溯到,玛雅文明的黄金时代即将结束。固定短语between...and...在...之间。结合句意,此处指在公元后830年和950年之间。故填between。
8.考查动词时态。句意:在这一时期,玛雅文明遭受了重大的政治崩溃,其标志是现代中美洲周围的城市被遗弃,留下了高耸的金字塔和其他石头建筑的废墟。结合句意可知,此处在讲述过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时,故填suffered。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析可知,___9___ (dot) around modern-day Central America为后置定语,修饰cities,与cities为动宾关系,指城市星罗棋布地分散在现代美洲大陆中央的这些城市。所以此处要用过去分词。故填dotted。
10.考查连词。句意:没有一个理论被广泛接受,但是人们相信内战,干旱和人口过剩的结合,可能是促成这次崩溃的因素。结合设空前“No single theory for this collapse has been widely accepted”和设空后“ it’s believed that...”可知,空白前后的句子表示转折关系。故填but。

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。
I was a 20-year-old nursing student in 1968, assigned as Chris’s post-operative nurse.
Chris was an eight-year-old boy filled with energy, who excelled in every sport he played. Disobeying his parents’ words, he explored a neighbor’s construction site, climbed a ladder, and fell, which got him a broken arm that later had to be cut off.
The first few days passed quickly. I provided Chris’s physical care with forced cheerfulness. As his need for medication decreased, his level of awareness increased, as did his moodiness. When I offered him the towel for a sponge bath and suggested he take over, he washed his face and neck with great difficulty, then quit. And I finished.
The next day, I insisted on his doing whole bath by himself. He was more than halfway through when he sat down and said, “I can’t make it!”
“You won’t be in the hospital much longer,” I said gently. “You need to learn to take care of yourself.”
“Well I can’t,” he frowned. “How can I do anything with just one hand ”
Putting on my brightest face, I searched for a silver lining in my mind. Finally I said, “Sure you can do it, Chris. At least you have your right hand.”
He turned his face away and muttered, “I’m left-handed. At least I used to be.” Suddenly, I felt ashamed. How could I have taken right-handedness for granted It seemed he and I both had a lot to learn.
The next morning, I greeted Chris with a big smile and a rubber band. He looked at me suspiciously. I put my right hand behind my back and kept it there by winding the rubber band around my uniform buttons. “You’re left-handed and I’m right-handed,” I said, “Every time I ask you to do something with your right hand, I will do it first, with my left hand. And I promise not to practice before I see you.”

I started from brushing teeth.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ten minutes later; I ultimately succeeded.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
I started from brushing teeth. However, the once simple routine action proved to be a disaster. With my teeth clenching the toothbrush tightly, I made great efforts to squeeze toothpaste onto it with my clumsy left hand, but I missed the target at the first attempt. I stole a glance at Chris and spotted a flicker of disappointment in his eyes. Taking a deep breath, I kept concentrating on the action in front of the mirror and did better.
Para 2:
Ten minutes later; I ultimately succeeded. “This is incredible!” Chris grinned. “I can do it faster!” he declared and sprang from the bed. After several attempts, he made it! Over the next two weeks, we competed with each other to practice these seemingly easy tasks single-handed, from buttoning up the coats to taking notes. Chris soon learned to do almost everything neatly with one hand. The day he left hospital, he hugged me, with tears of gratitude, saying, “You are a truly good nurse, thank you.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者是男孩Chris的术后护士,他因为受伤左手截肢了。一开始Chris脾气暴躁,不肯配合作者,于是作者开始配合Chris,学习用左手完成日常活动。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我从刷牙开始。”可知,第一段可描写作者尝试用左手完成刷牙的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“十分钟后;我最终成功了。”可知,第二段可描写Chris受到鼓舞,很快就学会了用一只手干净利落地做几乎所有的事情。
2.续写线索:作者用左手刷牙——失败——继续集中精力——成功完成——Chris受到鼓舞——Chris感谢作者
