Hailey Magee rushed home from school crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report card. Growing up she had learned that the way to receive confirmation and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure. “I was shattered,” she said. “In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.”
Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example of a growing trend in recent years: Perfectionist behavior. Perfectionism is now a growing cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, deliberate self-harm and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia.
Many parents today feel a sense of competitiveness that they may push onto their kids, whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into elite schools or signing them up for extracurricular activities that might look good on a college application. But if a child is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also fuel unhealthy comparisons.
“It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as yardsticks that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to keep up with the Joneses,” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with the Joneses, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives.
Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!”
4. Which of the following best explains “shattered” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Delighted. B. Frightened. C. Frustrated. D. Amused.
5. Which of the following is NOT the cause of Magee’s inferiority
A. The unhealthy comparisons. B. The A-plus confirmation.
C. The perfectionism phenomenon. D. The sense of competitiveness.
6. What may Magee agree with finally
A. It’s cool to be perfect. B. It’s fine to be imperfect.
C. It’s important to get an A-plus. D. It’s easy to keep up with the Joneses.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Perfectionism is killing our health.
B. Perfectionism is a growing cultural phenomenon.
C. Accepting one’s imperfection is becoming a trend.
D. Imperfection is temporary; and perfection is forever.
C
My bookshelf is full of children’s books. There are picture books, teen adventure books, and young adult coming-of-age books. Sure, I have actual kids living in my house, so that’s one of the reasons I own a lot of children’s books. But to tell you the truth, I purchased more than half of those books for myself. I love reading books that are targeted toward kids, probably more than I enjoy reading adult books.
Remember the innocent wonder that engulfed (吞没) you when you read children’s books as a kid When you could be transported to faraway, magical places that didn’t seem unbelievable at all. Especially since you still believed in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. Now you can magically transport yourself back into your child-sized shoes when you pick up a children’s book. The best children’s literature can help us re-find things we may not even know we have lost, taking us back to a time when new discoveries came daily and when the world was huge, before the imagination was adjusted and changed.
Kid’s books are so much more fun than adult books. They dare to go where no adult books go, into the field of scaring monsters, giant robot zombie mermaids, and 130-story treehouses. Just when you think you’ve picked up a sensible children’s book, you’ll be thunderstruck by an explosive scene. Seriously, who wouldn’t find that amusing
Reading children’s books is the key to maintaining an active imagination. They allow you to see the magical possibilities in your world and they keep you young. Plus, if you’ve got kids or grandkids, they are an excellent way to bond with them through magical stories.
I know I’ll keep reading children’s books as long as I have the ability to read. Because we all have a kid inside of us and we need to let it shine through.
8. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The author’s affection for children’s books.
B. The different kinds of children’s books of the author.
C. The reasons for the author’s purchasing adult books.
D. The introduction of books on the author’s bookshelf.
9. What can we learn about children’s books
A. Children’s books take you to the place you want.
B. Children’s books make you believe in Santa Claus.
C. Children’s books help you to keep innocence inside.
D. Children’s books ensure you get along well with kids.
10. What does the author think of the best children’s literature
A. It helps us find everything we have lost.
B. It should lead us to make new discoveries.
C. It enables us to keep a rich imagination.
D. It should be much more fun than adult books.
11. Which statement will the author probably agree with
A. Read children’s books due to kids.
B. Never too old to read a children’s book.
C. Improve the reading ability by reading children’s books.
D. Build a relationship with kids only through magical stories.
D
The universe, with its countless stars and galaxies, can be visually impressive, especially when we use high-powered telescopes to peer beyond the range of human vision. But what if we could hear those objects as well That may sound impossible at first — how can sound travel through the vacuum of space Isn’t the universe silent
Far from it, says Kim Arcand, an expert on data visualization at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Her team has found ways to strengthen distant sound waves that would otherwise be undetectable by human ears. They’ve also employed creative processing — taking visual data from infrared and X-ray telescopes and assigning notes to that data-to show celestial (天体的) phenomena via sounds. These “sonifications” (可听化) provide a new way for people to experience those awe-inspiring objects.
Arcand, working with colleagues at the Smithsonian, Harvard and NASA, together with a Canadian science outreach team called SYSTEM Sounds, has been making these custom-made audio tracks that bring celestial images to life. An obvious match-up is to pair brighter parts of an image with louder sounds or to present longer wavelengths of light with lower-pitched sounds, and shorter ones with higher-pitched. Now, many of the tracks can be heard on YouTube, paired up with the images that inspired them, 16 of those sonifications have been put into an album called Universal Harmonies, which will be available on CD and streaming platforms beginning March 10.
Aside from bringing science to a wider audience, Arcand also believes that sonification can bolster the science itself by allowing more people to contribute to our understanding of the universe. One of her goals, she says, is to show that “people who are blind or low-vision ... can also become part of the scientific enterprise.”
For University of Toronto astrophysicist Matt Russo, who runs SYSTEM Sounds together with musician Andrew Santaguida, sonification has been a chance to bring together his two great passions — astronomy and music. It’s both an art and a science. “It was just instantly obvious that it was fun and rewarding,” he says.
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Patterns of sound waves. B. Advantages of visualization.
C. Processes of data analysis. D. Approaches to sonifications.
13. How did Arcand’s team turn the images of universe into sounds
A. By uploading images onto streaming platforms.
B. By pairing images with sounds through creative technology.
C. By identifying and connecting different sound waves.
D. By processing audio data with the help of SYSTEM Sounds.
14. What does the underlined word “bolster” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Support. B. Prove. C. Mirror. D. Lead.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How Does Sound Come into Being B. What Does the Universe Sound Like
C. Universe: The Mystery Uncovered D. SYSTEM Sounds: A Pioneer in Space
二、七选五
COVID-19 shutdowns forced people out of work and pushed tens of millions into poverty worldwide. Governments tried hard to provide aid. It was easy in a small country, but difficult for a country with large population and vast rural areas. ___16___ Doing a detailed, nationwide, house-to-house survey takes people time and money. Luckily, satellites can see poverty from space.
Researchers have been finding ways to identify areas of wealth and poverty in satellite images. Through some satellite data and aerial images of one town or another, you can sort of tell whether it’s wealthy or not. Wealthier homes tend to have metal roofs while poor homes tend to have thatched roofs. Wealthier neighborhoods have paved roads and bigger plots of lands, more spaced out. ___17___ The researchers trained artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize these patterns.
___18___ The researchers put AI to work studying patterns of mobile phone use in those regions. Rich people will make just more phone calls than poor people. They also might make more expensive international calls. They might use more mobile data because they have smartphones. ___19___
The researchers use the system to identify about 60,000 people to receive benefits. The advantage of the satellite imagery and phone data approach is that it’s extremely fast and very convenient. ___20___ In shocks like climate disasters where there’s no time or way to get detailed information on the ground, satellites mobile phones and AI could help deliver aid quickly to people in need.
A. It was opposite in a big country.
B. How do they locate the neediest people
C. So there’s a lot of information in the images.
D. Most importantly, it’s very cheap to carry out.
E. Worse still, it’s not so economical as a house-to-house survey.
F. However, in general, poorer people will just have feature phones.
G. What the researchers did next was to target the neediest people in those regions.

六、读后续写
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。
It was the longest heat wave anyone could remember, and Sebastian couldn’t wait to cool off at the beach with his dad. Before heading out of town, they stopped at the library and dropped off a few books.
Sebastian noticed a crew working on the library roof. He asked Dad what they were doing. Dad explained that they were repairing the roof, a difficult job he had done himself for a few years.
It was then that an idea flashed into Sebastian’s head: I bet they could use some water. But the idea disappeared just as quickly as the scenery passing by his window, and his thoughts turned to swimming.
The waves were perfect for bodyboarding, and a sea breeze cooled the air. But all too soon they were headed home, back to the heat. Sebastian was half listening to the radio when the DJ gave the weather report, “The record-breaking heat will continue throughout the afternoon,” she said. “If you have to be outside, remember to hydrate (补水) and stay in the shade.”
When they drove by the library, the roofers were still working and the sun was beating down on them. Sebastian wondered whether they have enough water. Sebastian had just finished two weeks of soccer camp, and even with frequent water breaks, it had been miserably hot. It made him think again about taking some water to the roofers. So he shared the idea with his brother, Marcos. Marcos shrugged. “You don’t even know those guys. They’ve probably gone home already anyway.”
Maybe Marcos was right Sebastian walked to the end of his driveway, where he could get a view of the library. But the roofers were still there, and the sun was still broiling (酷热的). Sebastian didn’t see any coolers or jugs anywhere. Then he told Dad, “I really think they need some water.” A look of concern came over Dad’s face. He picked up his car keys, saying “I think you’re right. It’s only going to get hotter.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sebastian stuffed a bag with water bottles and got into the car with his dad.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
“It was all his idea,” dad smiled, nodding at Sebastian.

【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章从小女孩Hailey Magee看到成绩单上的A-minus而伤心哭泣甚至崩溃，引出话题——这个时代，父母把竞争意识强加给孩子，以及社交媒体可以让人们不断地将自己的生活与他人的生活进行比较，完美主义不断被放大并且在危害人们的身心健康。Hailey Magee理解了完美主义背后的原因以及危害，最后接受了自己的不完美。
4. 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Hailey Magee rushed home from school crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report card.（海莉·马吉看到成绩单上的成绩是A-，哭着从学校冲回家。），“that A-minus felt like a failure.”（觉得A-意味着失败），以及最后一句话“In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.（我觉得我作为一个人的自我价值远远低于如果我得了A或A +所能达到的水平。)”可知，小女孩对自己得了A-是感到沮丧的。frustrated表示“沮丧的”，故选C。
5. 细节理解题。根据第一段“In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.（我觉得我作为一个人的自我价值远远低于如果我得了A或A +所能达到的水平。)”可知，A+成绩不是Hailey Magee自卑的原因，而不健康的对比，完美主义现象和竞争感是导致Hailey Magee 自卑的原因，故选B。
6. 推断判断题。根据最后一段“Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. ‘I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!’（最终，Magee明白了她必须放手一点，允许自己带着所有的不完美出现。她最终学会了相信，她可以表现得不完美，但仍然感到被重视。“我可以不完美，但一切都可以很好！”）”可知，小女孩Hailey Magee最终接受了自己的不完美，即：不完美也没关系。故选B。
7. 概括大意题。通读全文，特别是第三段“Many parents today feel a sense of competitiveness that they may push onto their kids, whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into elite schools or signing them up for extracurricular activities that might look good on a college application. But if a child is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also fuel unhealthy comparisons.（如今，许多父母都有一种竞争意识，他们可能会把这种意识强加给孩子，要么强迫他们取得完美的成绩，这样他们就可以进入名校，要么给他们报名参加课外活动，这样在大学申请中可能会有好处。但是，如果一个孩子只因为取得了很高的成就而得到奖励，随着时间的推移，他们会明白，他们作为一个人的价值取决于完美。Instagram、Facebook和其他社交媒体平台也助长了不健康的攀比。）和第四段“‘It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as yardsticks that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to keep up with the Joneses,’ Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with the Joneses, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives.（临床心理学家雪莉说：“这是一个真正的问题——那些社交媒体上的照片最终成为了人们用来比较自己的标准，而完美主义者总是试图跟上琼斯的脚步。”跟上邻居的脚步从来没有像现在这样困难，因为今天我们不断被别人生活中看似完美的图像轰炸。）”可知，本文主要讲的是完美主义不断被放大并且在危害人们的身心健康，A项“Perfectionism is killing our health.（完美主义正在扼杀我们的健康。）”最能概括出文章内容。故选A。
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。旨在阐述作者认为成年人喜欢阅读也需要阅读儿童读物的原因。
8. 主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“My bookshelf is full of children’s books. (我的书架上摆满了儿童读物。)”和最后一句“I love reading books that are targeted toward kids, probably more than I enjoy reading adult books. (我喜欢读针对儿童的书，可能比我喜欢读成人书还要多。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是作者对儿童书籍的喜爱。故选A项。
9. 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Remember the innocent wonder that engulfed (吞没) you when you read children’s books as a kid (还记得你小时候读儿童读物时那种天真无邪的惊奇吗？)”可知，作者认为儿童书籍能让人保持人天真无邪的童真。故选C项。
10. 推理判断题。根据第三段“The best children’s literature can help us re-find things we may not even know we have lost, taking us back to a time when new discoveries came daily and when the world was huge, before the imagination was adjusted and changed. (最好的儿童文学可以帮助我们重新发现我们甚至不知道自己已经失去的东西，把我们带回一个每天都有新发现的时代，一个世界巨大的时代，在想象力被调整和改变之前。)”可知，最好的儿童文学能帮助读者重新发现自己失去的东西，把读者带回失去想象力之前，每天都有新发现的时代，即这样的儿童文学能够使读者保持想象力；第五段第一句“Reading children’s books is the key to maintaining an active imagination. (阅读儿童读物是保持想象力活跃的关键。)”也佐证了这一点。故选C项。
11. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I know I’ll keep reading children’s books as long as I have the ability to read. Because we all have a kid inside of us and we need to let it shine through. (我知道只要我有阅读能力，我就会继续读儿童读物。因为我们内心都有一个孩子，我们需要让它发光发热。)”可知作者认为在不同年龄阶层都可以阅读儿童读物，故可推测他赞同“Never too old to read a children’s book. (读儿童读物年长不是问题。)”这一观点。故选B项。
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了拥有无数恒星和星系的宇宙在视觉上给人留下了深刻的印象，尤其是当我们使用高倍望远镜观察人类视觉范围之外的事物时。但如果我们也能听到这些物体呢？史密森天体物理天文台的数据可视化专家金·阿坎德和她的团队采用了创造性的处理方法——从红外和X射线望远镜中获取视觉数据，并对这些数据进行注释——通过声音来展示天体现象。这些“声音”为人们体验这些令人敬畏的物体提供了一种新的方式。
12. 概括大意题。根据第二段“Far from it, says Kim Arcand, an expert on data visualization at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Her team has found ways to strengthen distant sound waves that would otherwise be undetectable by human ears. They’ve also employed creative processing — taking visual data from infrared and X-ray telescopes and assigning notes to that data-to show celestial (天体的) phenomena via sounds. These “sonifications” (可听化) provide a new way for people to experience those awe-inspiring objects.”（史密森天体物理天文台的数据可视化专家金·阿坎德说，事实远非如此。她的团队已经找到了增强人类耳朵无法探测到的远距离声波的方法。他们还采用了创造性的处理方法——从红外和x射线望远镜中获取视觉数据，并对这些数据进行注释——通过声音来展示天体现象。这些“声音”为人们体验这些令人敬畏的物体提供了一种新的方式。）可知，第二段的主要讲的是可听化的方法。故选D项。
13. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“An obvious match-up is to pair brighter parts of an image with louder sounds or to present longer wavelengths of light with lower-pitched sounds, and shorter ones with higher-pitched.”（一种明显的匹配方法是将图像中较亮的部分与较响的声音配对，或者将波长较长的光与较低的声音配对，将波长较短的光与较高的声音配对。）可知，阿坎德的团队通过创造性的技术将图像与声音配对将宇宙的图像转化为声音的。故选B项。
14. 词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Aside from bringing science to a wider audience,”（除了将科学带给更广泛的受众之外……）以及划线单词句中“…by allowing more people to contribute to our understanding of the universe.”（让更多的人为我们对宇宙的理解做出贡献）可推知，此处为声音化可以让更多的人为我们对宇宙的理解做出贡献，从而加强科学本身。故可猜测划线单词bolster为“加强，支持”的意思，结合选项A项Support“支持”意思一致。故选A项。
15. 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍史密森天体物理天文台的数据可视化专家金·阿坎德和她的团队采用了创造性的处理方法——从红外和X射线望远镜中获取视觉数据，并对这些数据进行注释——通过声音来展示天体现象。这些“声音”为人们体验这些令人敬畏的物体提供了一种新的方式。结合第一段中“But what if we could hear those objects as well That may sound impossible at first — how can sound travel through the vacuum of space Isn’t the universe silent ”（但如果我们也能听到这些物体呢？这听起来似乎不可能——声音怎么能在真空的太空中传播呢？难道宇宙不是寂静的吗？）可知，B项“宇宙的声音是怎样的？”适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选B项。

【答案】Sebastian stuffed a bag with water bottles and got into the car with his dad. As they drove to the library, Sebastian nervously approached the roofers and offered the water. A man got down the ladder and held the bag open for the others to see, signaling them to come into the shade for a water break. The roofers looked surprised but grateful. As they passed around the bottles and opened them, one crew member asked, “How do you guys know we have run out of water ”
“It was all his idea,” dad smiled, nodding at Sebastian. Sebastian didn’t know how to respond. But the crew’s smiles said it all.

Hailey Magee rushed home from school crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report card. Growing up she had learned that the way to receive confirmation and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure. “I was shattered,” she said. “In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.”
Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example of a growing trend in recent years: Perfectionist behavior. Perfectionism is now a growing cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, deliberate self-harm and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia.
Many parents today feel a sense of competitiveness that they may push onto their kids, whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into elite schools or signing them up for extracurricular activities that might look good on a college application. But if a child is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also fuel unhealthy comparisons.
“It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as yardsticks that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to keep up with the Joneses,” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with the Joneses, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives.
Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!”
4. Which of the following best explains “shattered” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Delighted. B. Frightened. C. Frustrated. D. Amused.
5. Which of the following is NOT the cause of Magee’s inferiority
A. The unhealthy comparisons. B. The A-plus confirmation.
C. The perfectionism phenomenon. D. The sense of competitiveness.
6. What may Magee agree with finally
A. It’s cool to be perfect. B. It’s fine to be imperfect.
C. It’s important to get an A-plus. D. It’s easy to keep up with the Joneses.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Perfectionism is killing our health.
B. Perfectionism is a growing cultural phenomenon.
C. Accepting one’s imperfection is becoming a trend.
D. Imperfection is temporary; and perfection is forever.

My bookshelf is full of children’s books. There are picture books, teen adventure books, and young adult coming-of-age books. Sure, I have actual kids living in my house, so that’s one of the reasons I own a lot of children’s books. But to tell you the truth, I purchased more than half of those books for myself. I love reading books that are targeted toward kids, probably more than I enjoy reading adult books.
Remember the innocent wonder that engulfed (吞没) you when you read children’s books as a kid When you could be transported to faraway, magical places that didn’t seem unbelievable at all. Especially since you still believed in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. Now you can magically transport yourself back into your child-sized shoes when you pick up a children’s book. The best children’s literature can help us re-find things we may not even know we have lost, taking us back to a time when new discoveries came daily and when the world was huge, before the imagination was adjusted and changed.
Kid’s books are so much more fun than adult books. They dare to go where no adult books go, into the field of scaring monsters, giant robot zombie mermaids, and 130-story treehouses. Just when you think you’ve picked up a sensible children’s book, you’ll be thunderstruck by an explosive scene. Seriously, who wouldn’t find that amusing
Reading children’s books is the key to maintaining an active imagination. They allow you to see the magical possibilities in your world and they keep you young. Plus, if you’ve got kids or grandkids, they are an excellent way to bond with them through magical stories.
I know I’ll keep reading children’s books as long as I have the ability to read. Because we all have a kid inside of us and we need to let it shine through.
8. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The author’s affection for children’s books.
B. The different kinds of children’s books of the author.
C. The reasons for the author’s purchasing adult books.
D. The introduction of books on the author’s bookshelf.
9. What can we learn about children’s books
A. Children’s books take you to the place you want.
B. Children’s books make you believe in Santa Claus.
C. Children’s books help you to keep innocence inside.
D. Children’s books ensure you get along well with kids.
10. What does the author think of the best children’s literature
A. It helps us find everything we have lost.
B. It should lead us to make new discoveries.
C. It enables us to keep a rich imagination.
D. It should be much more fun than adult books.
11. Which statement will the author probably agree with
A. Read children’s books due to kids.
B. Never too old to read a children’s book.
C. Improve the reading ability by reading children’s books.
D. Build a relationship with kids only through magical stories.
D
The universe, with its countless stars and galaxies, can be visually impressive, especially when we use high-powered telescopes to peer beyond the range of human vision. But what if we could hear those objects as well That may sound impossible at first — how can sound travel through the vacuum of space Isn’t the universe silent
Far from it, says Kim Arcand, an expert on data visualization at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Her team has found ways to strengthen distant sound waves that would otherwise be undetectable by human ears. They’ve also employed creative processing — taking visual data from infrared and X-ray telescopes and assigning notes to that data-to show celestial (天体的) phenomena via sounds. These “sonifications” (可听化) provide a new way for people to experience those awe-inspiring objects.
Arcand, working with colleagues at the Smithsonian, Harvard and NASA, together with a Canadian science outreach team called SYSTEM Sounds, has been making these custom-made audio tracks that bring celestial images to life. An obvious match-up is to pair brighter parts of an image with louder sounds or to present longer wavelengths of light with lower-pitched sounds, and shorter ones with higher-pitched. Now, many of the tracks can be heard on YouTube, paired up with the images that inspired them, 16 of those sonifications have been put into an album called Universal Harmonies, which will be available on CD and streaming platforms beginning March 10.
Aside from bringing science to a wider audience, Arcand also believes that sonification can bolster the science itself by allowing more people to contribute to our understanding of the universe. One of her goals, she says, is to show that “people who are blind or low-vision ... can also become part of the scientific enterprise.”
For University of Toronto astrophysicist Matt Russo, who runs SYSTEM Sounds together with musician Andrew Santaguida, sonification has been a chance to bring together his two great passions — astronomy and music. It’s both an art and a science. “It was just instantly obvious that it was fun and rewarding,” he says.
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Patterns of sound waves. B. Advantages of visualization.
C. Processes of data analysis. D. Approaches to sonifications.
13. How did Arcand’s team turn the images of universe into sounds
A. By uploading images onto streaming platforms.
B. By pairing images with sounds through creative technology.
C. By identifying and connecting different sound waves.
D. By processing audio data with the help of SYSTEM Sounds.
14. What does the underlined word “bolster” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Support. B. Prove. C. Mirror. D. Lead.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How Does Sound Come into Being B. What Does the Universe Sound Like
C. Universe: The Mystery Uncovered D. SYSTEM Sounds: A Pioneer in Space
二、七选五
COVID-19 shutdowns forced people out of work and pushed tens of millions into poverty worldwide. Governments tried hard to provide aid. It was easy in a small country, but difficult for a country with large population and vast rural areas. ___16___ Doing a detailed, nationwide, house-to-house survey takes people time and money. Luckily, satellites can see poverty from space.
Researchers have been finding ways to identify areas of wealth and poverty in satellite images. Through some satellite data and aerial images of one town or another, you can sort of tell whether it’s wealthy or not. Wealthier homes tend to have metal roofs while poor homes tend to have thatched roofs. Wealthier neighborhoods have paved roads and bigger plots of lands, more spaced out. ___17___ The researchers trained artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize these patterns.
___18___ The researchers put AI to work studying patterns of mobile phone use in those regions. Rich people will make just more phone calls than poor people. They also might make more expensive international calls. They might use more mobile data because they have smartphones. ___19___
The researchers use the system to identify about 60,000 people to receive benefits. The advantage of the satellite imagery and phone data approach is that it’s extremely fast and very convenient. ___20___ In shocks like climate disasters where there’s no time or way to get detailed information on the ground, satellites mobile phones and AI could help deliver aid quickly to people in need.
A. It was opposite in a big country.
B. How do they locate the neediest people
C. So there’s a lot of information in the images.
D. Most importantly, it’s very cheap to carry out.
E. Worse still, it’s not so economical as a house-to-house survey.
F. However, in general, poorer people will just have feature phones.
G. What the researchers did next was to target the neediest people in those regions.

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。
It was the longest heat wave anyone could remember, and Sebastian couldn’t wait to cool off at the beach with his dad. Before heading out of town, they stopped at the library and dropped off a few books.
Sebastian noticed a crew working on the library roof. He asked Dad what they were doing. Dad explained that they were repairing the roof, a difficult job he had done himself for a few years.
It was then that an idea flashed into Sebastian’s head: I bet they could use some water. But the idea disappeared just as quickly as the scenery passing by his window, and his thoughts turned to swimming.
The waves were perfect for bodyboarding, and a sea breeze cooled the air. But all too soon they were headed home, back to the heat. Sebastian was half listening to the radio when the DJ gave the weather report, “The record-breaking heat will continue throughout the afternoon,” she said. “If you have to be outside, remember to hydrate (补水) and stay in the shade.”
When they drove by the library, the roofers were still working and the sun was beating down on them. Sebastian wondered whether they have enough water. Sebastian had just finished two weeks of soccer camp, and even with frequent water breaks, it had been miserably hot. It made him think again about taking some water to the roofers. So he shared the idea with his brother, Marcos. Marcos shrugged. “You don’t even know those guys. They’ve probably gone home already anyway.”
Maybe Marcos was right Sebastian walked to the end of his driveway, where he could get a view of the library. But the roofers were still there, and the sun was still broiling (酷热的). Sebastian didn’t see any coolers or jugs anywhere. Then he told Dad, “I really think they need some water.” A look of concern came over Dad’s face. He picked up his car keys, saying “I think you’re right. It’s only going to get hotter.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sebastian stuffed a bag with water bottles and got into the car with his dad.

【解析】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章从小女孩Hailey Magee看到成绩单上的A-minus而伤心哭泣甚至崩溃，引出话题——这个时代，父母把竞争意识强加给孩子，以及社交媒体可以让人们不断地将自己的生活与他人的生活进行比较，完美主义不断被放大并且在危害人们的身心健康。Hailey Magee理解了完美主义背后的原因以及危害，最后接受了自己的不完美。
4. 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Hailey Magee rushed home from school crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report card.（海莉·马吉看到成绩单上的成绩是A-，哭着从学校冲回家。），“that A-minus felt like a failure.”（觉得A-意味着失败），以及最后一句话“In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.（我觉得我作为一个人的自我价值远远低于如果我得了A或A +所能达到的水平。)”可知，小女孩对自己得了A-是感到沮丧的。frustrated表示“沮丧的”，故选C。
5. 细节理解题。根据第一段“In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.（我觉得我作为一个人的自我价值远远低于如果我得了A或A +所能达到的水平。)”可知，A+成绩不是Hailey Magee自卑的原因，而不健康的对比，完美主义现象和竞争感是导致Hailey Magee 自卑的原因，故选B。
6. 推断判断题。根据最后一段“Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. ‘I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!’（最终，Magee明白了她必须放手一点，允许自己带着所有的不完美出现。她最终学会了相信，她可以表现得不完美，但仍然感到被重视。“我可以不完美，但一切都可以很好！”）”可知，小女孩Hailey Magee最终接受了自己的不完美，即：不完美也没关系。故选B。
7. 概括大意题。通读全文，特别是第三段“Many parents today feel a sense of competitiveness that they may push onto their kids, whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into elite schools or signing them up for extracurricular activities that might look good on a college application. But if a child is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also fuel unhealthy comparisons.（如今，许多父母都有一种竞争意识，他们可能会把这种意识强加给孩子，要么强迫他们取得完美的成绩，这样他们就可以进入名校，要么给他们报名参加课外活动，这样在大学申请中可能会有好处。但是，如果一个孩子只因为取得了很高的成就而得到奖励，随着时间的推移，他们会明白，他们作为一个人的价值取决于完美。Instagram、Facebook和其他社交媒体平台也助长了不健康的攀比。）和第四段“‘It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as yardsticks that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to keep up with the Joneses,’ Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with the Joneses, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives.（临床心理学家雪莉说：“这是一个真正的问题——那些社交媒体上的照片最终成为了人们用来比较自己的标准，而完美主义者总是试图跟上琼斯的脚步。”跟上邻居的脚步从来没有像现在这样困难，因为今天我们不断被别人生活中看似完美的图像轰炸。）”可知，本文主要讲的是完美主义不断被放大并且在危害人们的身心健康，A项“Perfectionism is killing our health.（完美主义正在扼杀我们的健康。）”最能概括出文章内容。故选A。
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。旨在阐述作者认为成年人喜欢阅读也需要阅读儿童读物的原因。
8. 主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“My bookshelf is full of children’s books. (我的书架上摆满了儿童读物。)”和最后一句“I love reading books that are targeted toward kids, probably more than I enjoy reading adult books. (我喜欢读针对儿童的书，可能比我喜欢读成人书还要多。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是作者对儿童书籍的喜爱。故选A项。
9. 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Remember the innocent wonder that engulfed (吞没) you when you read children’s books as a kid (还记得你小时候读儿童读物时那种天真无邪的惊奇吗？)”可知，作者认为儿童书籍能让人保持人天真无邪的童真。故选C项。
10. 推理判断题。根据第三段“The best children’s literature can help us re-find things we may not even know we have lost, taking us back to a time when new discoveries came daily and when the world was huge, before the imagination was adjusted and changed. (最好的儿童文学可以帮助我们重新发现我们甚至不知道自己已经失去的东西，把我们带回一个每天都有新发现的时代，一个世界巨大的时代，在想象力被调整和改变之前。)”可知，最好的儿童文学能帮助读者重新发现自己失去的东西，把读者带回失去想象力之前，每天都有新发现的时代，即这样的儿童文学能够使读者保持想象力；第五段第一句“Reading children’s books is the key to maintaining an active imagination. (阅读儿童读物是保持想象力活跃的关键。)”也佐证了这一点。故选C项。
11. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I know I’ll keep reading children’s books as long as I have the ability to read. Because we all have a kid inside of us and we need to let it shine through. (我知道只要我有阅读能力，我就会继续读儿童读物。因为我们内心都有一个孩子，我们需要让它发光发热。)”可知作者认为在不同年龄阶层都可以阅读儿童读物，故可推测他赞同“Never too old to read a children’s book. (读儿童读物年长不是问题。)”这一观点。故选B项。
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了拥有无数恒星和星系的宇宙在视觉上给人留下了深刻的印象，尤其是当我们使用高倍望远镜观察人类视觉范围之外的事物时。但如果我们也能听到这些物体呢？史密森天体物理天文台的数据可视化专家金·阿坎德和她的团队采用了创造性的处理方法——从红外和X射线望远镜中获取视觉数据，并对这些数据进行注释——通过声音来展示天体现象。这些“声音”为人们体验这些令人敬畏的物体提供了一种新的方式。
12. 概括大意题。根据第二段“Far from it, says Kim Arcand, an expert on data visualization at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Her team has found ways to strengthen distant sound waves that would otherwise be undetectable by human ears. They’ve also employed creative processing — taking visual data from infrared and X-ray telescopes and assigning notes to that data-to show celestial (天体的) phenomena via sounds. These “sonifications” (可听化) provide a new way for people to experience those awe-inspiring objects.”（史密森天体物理天文台的数据可视化专家金·阿坎德说，事实远非如此。她的团队已经找到了增强人类耳朵无法探测到的远距离声波的方法。他们还采用了创造性的处理方法——从红外和x射线望远镜中获取视觉数据，并对这些数据进行注释——通过声音来展示天体现象。这些“声音”为人们体验这些令人敬畏的物体提供了一种新的方式。）可知，第二段的主要讲的是可听化的方法。故选D项。
13. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“An obvious match-up is to pair brighter parts of an image with louder sounds or to present longer wavelengths of light with lower-pitched sounds, and shorter ones with higher-pitched.”（一种明显的匹配方法是将图像中较亮的部分与较响的声音配对，或者将波长较长的光与较低的声音配对，将波长较短的光与较高的声音配对。）可知，阿坎德的团队通过创造性的技术将图像与声音配对将宇宙的图像转化为声音的。故选B项。
14. 词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Aside from bringing science to a wider audience,”（除了将科学带给更广泛的受众之外……）以及划线单词句中“…by allowing more people to contribute to our understanding of the universe.”（让更多的人为我们对宇宙的理解做出贡献）可推知，此处为声音化可以让更多的人为我们对宇宙的理解做出贡献，从而加强科学本身。故可猜测划线单词bolster为“加强，支持”的意思，结合选项A项Support“支持”意思一致。故选A项。
15. 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍史密森天体物理天文台的数据可视化专家金·阿坎德和她的团队采用了创造性的处理方法——从红外和X射线望远镜中获取视觉数据，并对这些数据进行注释——通过声音来展示天体现象。这些“声音”为人们体验这些令人敬畏的物体提供了一种新的方式。结合第一段中“But what if we could hear those objects as well That may sound impossible at first — how can sound travel through the vacuum of space Isn’t the universe silent ”（但如果我们也能听到这些物体呢？这听起来似乎不可能——声音怎么能在真空的太空中传播呢？难道宇宙不是寂静的吗？）可知，B项“宇宙的声音是怎样的？”适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选B项。

As they passed around the bottles and opened them, one crew member asked, “How do you guys know we have run out of water ”
“It was all his idea,” dad smiled, nodding at Sebastian. Sebastian didn’t know how to respond. But the crew’s smiles said it all. Having finished their water, the roofers put the empty bottles back into the bag. They thanked Sebastian and his dad again and waved them goodbye as they drove away. Arriving home, Dad praised Sebastian for his kindheartedness. A simple act made Sebastian feel good. He tossed the empties into the recycling bin. Then he poured two big glasses of cold water, one for himself and one for his dad.
