FitzGerald is a 16-year-old long-distance runner from Devon, England, who has set a national record in the under-17s 3, 000 meters, but now she’s getting noticed for her commitment to saving the planet.
FitzGerald finished fourth in the under-20s race at the European Cross Country Championships in Italy last December, but her journey to get there made it even more impressive. To reach Turin in Italy, FitzGerald could have taken a quick flight. However, flying releases carbon dioxide. Instead, she took an overnight coach to Lille in France, then trains to first Paris, then Turin, cycling between stations. Despite her tiring journey, she beat athletes three years older than her.
FitzGerald turned down the chance to compete at the World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Bathurst, Australia. She told Athletics Weekly magazine that the decision wasn’t easy but that travelling fills her “with deep concern”. “To have the opportunity to compete for Great Britain in Australia is a privilege,” FitzGerald said. “However, I would never be comfortable flying in the knowledge that people could be losing their livelihoods, homes and loved ones as a result. The least I can do is voice my solidarity (团结一致) with those suffering on the front line of climate breakdown.”
FitzGerald’s refusal to fly has led people to compare her to the climate activist Thunberg, who once travelled to New York by boat. FitzGerald could travel by ship to Australia, but it would take her more than a month to get there. FitzGerald knows her choice to put the needs of the Earth first could affect her athletics career, but she has to act as if it’s an emergency.
Champions for Earth, an organization for environmentally-friendly athletes, said: “She is looking for sponsors and supporters who can help her with the more expensive public transport, accommodation and eco-friendly kit that she requires. It is clear that FitzGerald has the steely determination and focus, combined with the courage and clarity to face a reality quite different to athletes of previous generations.”
4. Why did FitzGerald make headlines
A. Because she chose green transport instead of a flight to Italy.
B. Because she made a national record in 3, 000 meters in England.
C. Because she devoted all her time to eco-environment in England.
D. Because she won the champion in the cross country race in Italy.
5. What caused FitzGerald to refuse the competition in Australia
A. Ungreen travelling. B. Tiring competing in Italy.
C. Changeable climate on the way. D. Affected athletics career.
6. What do FitzGerald and Thunberg have in common
A. Acting immediately if there is an emergency.
B. Preferring taking the ship instead of the flight.
C. Spending all their life in protecting the environment.
D. Choosing the eco-friendly means of transportation.
7. Which can best describe FitzGerald according to Champions for Earth
A. Honest and outgoing. B. Determined and concentrated.
C. Attractive and modest. D. Courageous and humorous.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了16岁的越野长跑运动员FitzGerald是位环保主义者。为了减少碳排放，她不乘坐飞机，并因此放弃了在澳大利亚举行的越野长跑比赛。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“FitzGerald finished fourth in the under-20s race at the European Cross Country Championships in Italy last December, but her journey to get there made it even more impressive. To reach Turin in Italy, FitzGerald could have taken a quick flight. However, flying releases carbon dioxide. Instead, she took an overnight coach to Lille in France, then trains to first Paris, then Turin, cycling between stations. Despite her tiring journey, she beat athletes three years older than her.(去年12月，菲茨杰拉德在意大利举行的欧洲越野锦标赛上获得了20岁以下年龄组比赛的第四名，但她的旅程让她的成绩更加令人印象深刻。要到达意大利的都灵，菲茨杰拉德本可以快速飞行。然而，飞行会释放二氧化碳。于是，她坐了一整夜的长途汽车去了法国里尔，然后先坐火车去了巴黎，再去了都灵，在车站之间骑自行车。尽管路途疲惫，她还是击败了比她大三岁的运动员)”可知，FitzGerald成为头条新闻是因为她选择了绿色交通，而不是坐飞机去意大利。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, I would never be comfortable flying in the knowledge that people could be losing their livelihoods, homes and loved ones as a result. The least I can do is voice my solidarity (团结一致) with those suffering on the front line of climate breakdown.(然而，如果我知道人们可能因此失去生计、家园和亲人，我就永远不会安心飞行。我至少可以表达我对那些在气候崩溃前线受苦的人们的声援)”可知，FitzGerald拒绝参加澳大利亚的比赛，是因为去往澳大利亚需要乘坐飞机，此交通方式不环保。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“FitzGerald’s refusal to fly has led people to compare her to the climate activist Thunberg, who once travelled to New York by boat.(菲茨杰拉德拒绝坐飞机让人们将她与气候活动家Thunberg相提并论，Thunberg曾乘船前往纽约)”和第二段的“To reach Turin in Italy, FitzGerald could have taken a quick flight. However, flying releases carbon dioxide. Instead, she took an overnight coach to Lille in France, then trains to first Paris, then Turin, cycling between stations.(要到达意大利的都灵，菲茨杰拉德本可以快速飞行。然而，飞行会释放二氧化碳。于是，她坐了一整夜的长途汽车去了法国里尔，然后先坐火车去了巴黎，再去了都灵，在车站之间骑自行车)”可知，菲茨杰拉德和Thunberg的共同之处是他们都选择环保的交通工具。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“It is clear that FitzGerald has the steely determination and focus, combined with the courage and clarity to face a reality quite different to athletes of previous generations.(很明显，菲茨杰拉德有着钢铁般的决心和专注力，再加上勇气和清晰，能够面对与前几代运动员截然不同的现实)”可知，FitzGerald是有决心和专注的，可用determined和concentrated描述她，故选B。
C
Cancer is caused by gene mutations (突变) that accumulate in cells over time, yet long-lived animals that have lots of cells, such as elephants and whales, hardly ever get it. Why
For elephants, at least, part of the answer may be the gene commonly known as p53, which also helps humans and many other animals repair DNA damaged during replication (复制). Elephants have an amazing 20 copies of this gene. Those copies, each with two variations produce a total of 40 proteins, compared with humans’ (and most animals’) single copy producing two proteins.
In mammals, p53 plays a crucial role in preventing mutated cells from turning into tumors (肿瘤). It works by pausing replication and then either initiating repair or causing cells to self-destruct if the damage is too extensive. Without action from p53, cancer can easily take hold: in more than half of all human cancers, the gene’s function has been lost through random mutations.
The scientists virtually modeled and studied carefully elephants’ 40 p53 proteins, finding two ways the gene could help elephants avoid cancer. First, the fact that elephants possess multiple copies lowers the chance of p53 no longer working because of mutations. Additionally, elephants’ p53 copies activate in response to varying mutations and so respond to damaged cells differently, which likely gives an edge when detecting and getting rid of mutations.
These “remarkable” results imply that elephants have a series of means though which p53 can operate, says Sue Haupt, a cell biologist who was not involved in the work. This points to “exciting possibilities for exploring powerful new approaches to cancer protection in humans,” she adds.
Study co-author Robin Fahraeus and his colleagues are now following up on these results using blood samples from an African elephant at the Vienna Zoo. They are exploring how its p53 proteins interact with damaged cells and plan to compare those findings with results from human cells.
8. What does the underlined word “initiating” mean in paragraph 3
A. Delaying. B. Indicating.
C. Stopping. D. Starting.
9. How do p53 copies free elephants from cancer
A. By preventing the replication thoroughly.
B. By providing precise response continuously.
C. By lowering the chance of mutations in advance.
D. By repairing the damaged cells in the same way.
10. What can we conclude from the last 2 paragraphs
A. The results need further tests.
B. More biologists will participate in the study.
C. The results throw light on humans’ fighting cancer.
D. Researchers have new findings in African elephants.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Why elephants don’t get cancer.
B. What contributes to elephants’ long life.
C. Where the anticancer breakthrough lies.
D. How the key cancer-fighting gene works.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为什么长寿的动物们不会患癌症的问题。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句及划线词所在句“In mammals, p53 plays a crucial role in preventing mutated cells from turning into tumors (肿瘤). It works by pausing replication and then either initiating repair or causing cells to self-destruct if the damage is too extensive.(在哺乳动物中，p53在防止突变细胞变成肿瘤方面起着至关重要的作用。它的工作原理是暂停复制，然后要么initiating修复，要么在损伤过于广泛时导致细胞自我毁灭)”可知，对于损伤过于广泛的细胞，p53会让细胞自我毁灭，因而对于可以修复的细胞，p53则会开始修复它。由此可知，划线词此处为“开始”含义。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The scientists virtually modeled and studied carefully elephants’ 40 p53 proteins, finding two ways the gene could help elephants avoid cancer. First, the fact that elephants possess multiple copies lowers the chance of p53 no longer working because of mutations. Additionally, elephants’ p53 copies activate in response to varying mutations and so respond to damaged cells differently, which likely gives an edge when detecting and getting rid of mutations.(科学家们实际上建立了大象40种 p53蛋白的模型，并仔细研究了这些蛋白，发现了这种基因可以帮助大象避免癌症的两种方式。首先，大象拥有多个p53的副本的事实降低了 p53由于突变而不再起作用的可能性。此外，大象的 p53的副本对不同突变的反应也不同，因此对受损细胞的反应也不同，这可能在检测和消除突变方面有优势)”可知，p53对不同的突变的作用是不同的，即p53通过持续的针对不同的突变作出准确的回应，进而帮助大象避免癌症。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“These “remarkable” results imply that elephants have a series of means though which p53 can operate, says Sue Haupt, a cell biologist who was not involved in the work. This points to “exciting possibilities for exploring powerful new approaches to cancer protection in humans,” she adds.(没有参与这项工作的细胞生物学家苏 · 豪普特(Sue Haupt)说，这些“非凡”的结果意味着，大象有一系列的方法可以让 p53起作用。她补充说，这表明“探索强有力的人类癌症防护新方法的令人兴奋的可能性”)”可知，这些非凡的结果意味着“探索强有力的人类癌症防护新方法的令人兴奋的可能性”。由此推知，这些结果的发现为人类对抗癌症提供了线索。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“Cancer is caused by gene mutations (突变) that accumulate in cells over time, yet long-lived animals that have lots of cells, such as elephants and whales, hardly ever get it. Why (癌症是由基因突变引起的，随着时间的推移，基因突变积累在细胞中，然而长寿的动物有很多细胞，如大象和鲸鱼，几乎从来不会有癌症。为什么？)”及第二段中“For elephants, at least, part of the answer may be the gene commonly known as p53, which also helps humans and many other animals repair DNA damaged during replication (复制).(至少对大象来说，部分答案可能是通常被称为 p53的基因，它也帮助人类和许多其他动物修复复制过程中受损的 DNA)”可知，本文主要讲述了为什么长寿的动物们不会患癌症的问题。故选A。
D
Online eating shows, or Mukbang(直播吃饭), originated in South Korea and have gained popularity globally.
Many hosts of such shows have become popular for their ability to eat large amounts of food. But these shows have also received criticism for their waste of food. While some hosts actually do consume the amount of food shown, others may be faking it.
On Aug 12, CCTV exposed several Chinese hosts who were pretending to eat large amounts of food while on camera, but actually later threw it away.
To discourage this practice, many video and livestreaming platforms, including Douyin, Kuaishow and Bilibili, have removed videos that show food waste, and have promoted messages to “stop food waste and eat reasonably.”
In June 2020, the United Nations warned that the world is on the verge of the worst food crisis in 50 years.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about a third of the world’s food-1.3 billion tons- is wasted every year. In China alone, 50 million tons of food ends up in landfills every year, according to Beijing News.
Recently, campaigns against food waste have been further promoted. In August, President Xi Jinping stressed the need for safeguarding food security and stopping food waste.
According to China Daily, restaurants and catering associations in more than 18 provinces and all 4 municipal cities have issued guidelines to control food waste.
In Shanxi province, local restaurants have been asked to serve half portions to avoid waste. The Wuhan Catering Association proposed that restaurants adopt the “N-1 mode”. For example, a group of 10 diners should only order enough for nine people first. More food is only brought to the table if required.
In addition, a nationwide “Clear Your Plate” campaign has been launched online. Users of Sina Weibo are encouraged to share photos or videos of empty plates after finishing their meals.
Meanwhile, new laws are also being considered, according to China daily. “We will make new laws that give clear instructions on avoiding food waste,” said Zhang Guilong from the legislative Affairs Committee of the National People’s Congress. The instructions will be detailed in every year of food production, purchasing storage, transportation, processing and consumption, according to Zhang.
12. What is CCTV’s attitude toward online eating shows
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. Most video media are contributing to stopping food waste.
B. We should eat up all the food on the table.
C. It’s hard to carry out "Clear Your Plate campaign.
D. All the videos that show food waste have been removed.
14. What can we do to avoid food waste
A. We can adopt the “N+1 mode”.
B. We can eat more food than we need.
C. We can choose not to watch online eating shows.
D. We can ask the restaurants to serve us half portions.
15. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Online eating shows should be banned.
B. New laws should be made to avoid food waste.
C. Measures are being taken to stop food waste.
D. We should share photos or videos of empty plates.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】

I love reading. I love it so much that no matter where I go, and I will put a book in my bag. And I will take it out and read a couple of page when I am free. However, so a good habit also has its disadvantages. Once my mother had anything urgent to deal with and can’t spare time to cook.
I promised her that I would cook. But thinking it was still earlier, I picked up a book to read. Soon I got lost in the story. Not until my mother came back I realize I forgot to cook the meal. In my relief, she didn’t blame me. She just reminded me to pay attention to protect my eyesight. What the good mother!
【答案】1. 去掉and
2. page→pages
3. so→such
4. anything→something
5. can’t→couldn’t
6. earlier→early
7. back后加did
8. In→To
9. protect→protecting
10. the→a
【解析】
【导语】本文是应用文。讲述了作者喜欢读书，但是有时这样的好习惯也有它的缺点。
【详解】1. 考查连词。句意：我非常喜欢它，所以无论我去哪里，我都会在书包里放一本书。分析句子结构可知，本句是no matter where引导的地点状语从句，后句是状语从句的主句，连接词是no matter where，无需and连接。故将and去掉。
2. 考查名词。句意：当我有空的时候，我会把它拿出来读几页。分析句子结构可知，page意为“(书刊或纸张的)页”，为可数名词，根据a couple of可知，此处应用复数形式。故将page改为pages。
3. 考查固定搭配。句意：然而，这样的好习惯也有它的缺点。分析句子结构可知，so不能修饰名词，而such可以。such的用法：such+ adj.+ 可数名词/不可数名词。故将so改为such。
4. 考查代词。句意：有一次我妈妈有急事要处理，抽不出时间做饭。分析句子结构可知，something的基本意思是“某物，某事”，主要用于肯定句中，在否定句或疑问句中通常用anything，本句是肯定句，应该用something。故将anything改为something。
5. 考查动词时态。句意：有一次我妈妈有急事要处理，抽不出时间做饭。分析句子结构可知，本句是and连接的并列句，前句用的是一般过去时，根据句意，后句也需用一般过去时。故将can’t改为couldn’t。
6. 考查形容词。句意：但想到时间还早，我就拿起一本书来读。根据句意可知，此处只是表达“时间还早”之意，没有和谁比较之意，用形容词原级即可。故将earlier改为early。
7. 考查倒装句。句意：直到妈妈回来，我才意识到我忘记做饭了。分析句子结构可知，本句以Not until开头，所以需部分倒装，结构是：Not until+从句/表时间的词+助动词+(主句)主语+谓语+...，所以I前需加助动词did。故在back后加did。
8. 考查介词。句意：令我宽慰的是，她没有责怪我。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：to one’s relief意为“令人宽慰的是”。故将In改为To。
9. 考查非谓语。句意：她只是提醒我要注意保护我的视力。分析句子结构可知，短语pay attention to中的to为介词，后应接名词或者动名词。故将protect改为protecting。
10. 考查冠词。句意：多好的妈妈啊!分析句子结构可知，what引导的感叹句，句型为：What + a/an +形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语!，本句中省略了主语和谓语，mother前应用不定冠词修饰，good为辅音音素开头。故将the改为a。

My Understanding of Failure

【答案】
My Understanding of Failure
J.Burroughs once said “A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.” This famous remark conveys that when facing failure, we should reflect on ourselves instead of putting the blame on others, which is more important than failure itself.
When entering high school, many classmates found it really difficult to learn maths and did poorly in exams. They blamed it on the teacher rather than themselves, which caused even poorer performance. I was no exception. However, when I realized complaining made no sense, I adjusted my learning methods and turned to the teacher whenever I encountered difficult problems. Gradually, I began to make progress, which in turn boosted my confidence in maths.The lesson I have drawn from this experience is that only by bravely taking full responsibility for failure rather than blaming others can we succeed.

FitzGerald is a 16-year-old long-distance runner from Devon, England, who has set a national record in the under-17s 3, 000 meters, but now she’s getting noticed for her commitment to saving the planet.
FitzGerald finished fourth in the under-20s race at the European Cross Country Championships in Italy last December, but her journey to get there made it even more impressive. To reach Turin in Italy, FitzGerald could have taken a quick flight. However, flying releases carbon dioxide. Instead, she took an overnight coach to Lille in France, then trains to first Paris, then Turin, cycling between stations. Despite her tiring journey, she beat athletes three years older than her.
FitzGerald turned down the chance to compete at the World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Bathurst, Australia. She told Athletics Weekly magazine that the decision wasn’t easy but that travelling fills her “with deep concern”. “To have the opportunity to compete for Great Britain in Australia is a privilege,” FitzGerald said. “However, I would never be comfortable flying in the knowledge that people could be losing their livelihoods, homes and loved ones as a result. The least I can do is voice my solidarity (团结一致) with those suffering on the front line of climate breakdown.”
FitzGerald’s refusal to fly has led people to compare her to the climate activist Thunberg, who once travelled to New York by boat. FitzGerald could travel by ship to Australia, but it would take her more than a month to get there. FitzGerald knows her choice to put the needs of the Earth first could affect her athletics career, but she has to act as if it’s an emergency.
Champions for Earth, an organization for environmentally-friendly athletes, said: “She is looking for sponsors and supporters who can help her with the more expensive public transport, accommodation and eco-friendly kit that she requires. It is clear that FitzGerald has the steely determination and focus, combined with the courage and clarity to face a reality quite different to athletes of previous generations.”
4. Why did FitzGerald make headlines
A. Because she chose green transport instead of a flight to Italy.
B. Because she made a national record in 3, 000 meters in England.
C. Because she devoted all her time to eco-environment in England.
D. Because she won the champion in the cross country race in Italy.
5. What caused FitzGerald to refuse the competition in Australia
A. Ungreen travelling. B. Tiring competing in Italy.
C. Changeable climate on the way. D. Affected athletics career.
6. What do FitzGerald and Thunberg have in common
A. Acting immediately if there is an emergency.
B. Preferring taking the ship instead of the flight.
C. Spending all their life in protecting the environment.
D. Choosing the eco-friendly means of transportation.
7. Which can best describe FitzGerald according to Champions for Earth
A. Honest and outgoing. B. Determined and concentrated.
C. Attractive and modest. D. Courageous and humorous.
C
Cancer is caused by gene mutations (突变) that accumulate in cells over time, yet long-lived animals that have lots of cells, such as elephants and whales, hardly ever get it. Why
For elephants, at least, part of the answer may be the gene commonly known as p53, which also helps humans and many other animals repair DNA damaged during replication (复制). Elephants have an amazing 20 copies of this gene. Those copies, each with two variations produce a total of 40 proteins, compared with humans’ (and most animals’) single copy producing two proteins.
In mammals, p53 plays a crucial role in preventing mutated cells from turning into tumors (肿瘤). It works by pausing replication and then either initiating repair or causing cells to self-destruct if the damage is too extensive. Without action from p53, cancer can easily take hold: in more than half of all human cancers, the gene’s function has been lost through random mutations.
The scientists virtually modeled and studied carefully elephants’ 40 p53 proteins, finding two ways the gene could help elephants avoid cancer. First, the fact that elephants possess multiple copies lowers the chance of p53 no longer working because of mutations. Additionally, elephants’ p53 copies activate in response to varying mutations and so respond to damaged cells differently, which likely gives an edge when detecting and getting rid of mutations.
These “remarkable” results imply that elephants have a series of means though which p53 can operate, says Sue Haupt, a cell biologist who was not involved in the work. This points to “exciting possibilities for exploring powerful new approaches to cancer protection in humans,” she adds.
Study co-author Robin Fahraeus and his colleagues are now following up on these results using blood samples from an African elephant at the Vienna Zoo. They are exploring how its p53 proteins interact with damaged cells and plan to compare those findings with results from human cells.
8. What does the underlined word “initiating” mean in paragraph 3
A. Delaying. B. Indicating.
C. Stopping. D. Starting.
9. How do p53 copies free elephants from cancer
A. By preventing the replication thoroughly.
B. By providing precise response continuously.
C. By lowering the chance of mutations in advance.
D. By repairing the damaged cells in the same way.
10. What can we conclude from the last 2 paragraphs
A. The results need further tests.
B. More biologists will participate in the study.
C. The results throw light on humans’ fighting cancer.
D. Researchers have new findings in African elephants.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Why elephants don’t get cancer.
B. What contributes to elephants’ long life.
C. Where the anticancer breakthrough lies.
D. How the key cancer-fighting gene works.
D
Online eating shows, or Mukbang(直播吃饭), originated in South Korea and have gained popularity globally.
Many hosts of such shows have become popular for their ability to eat large amounts of food. But these shows have also received criticism for their waste of food. While some hosts actually do consume the amount of food shown, others may be faking it.
On Aug 12, CCTV exposed several Chinese hosts who were pretending to eat large amounts of food while on camera, but actually later threw it away.
To discourage this practice, many video and livestreaming platforms, including Douyin, Kuaishow and Bilibili, have removed videos that show food waste, and have promoted messages to “stop food waste and eat reasonably.”
In June 2020, the United Nations warned that the world is on the verge of the worst food crisis in 50 years.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about a third of the world’s food-1.3 billion tons- is wasted every year. In China alone, 50 million tons of food ends up in landfills every year, according to Beijing News.
Recently, campaigns against food waste have been further promoted. In August, President Xi Jinping stressed the need for safeguarding food security and stopping food waste.
According to China Daily, restaurants and catering associations in more than 18 provinces and all 4 municipal cities have issued guidelines to control food waste.
In Shanxi province, local restaurants have been asked to serve half portions to avoid waste. The Wuhan Catering Association proposed that restaurants adopt the “N-1 mode”. For example, a group of 10 diners should only order enough for nine people first. More food is only brought to the table if required.
In addition, a nationwide “Clear Your Plate” campaign has been launched online. Users of Sina Weibo are encouraged to share photos or videos of empty plates after finishing their meals.
Meanwhile, new laws are also being considered, according to China daily. “We will make new laws that give clear instructions on avoiding food waste,” said Zhang Guilong from the legislative Affairs Committee of the National People’s Congress. The instructions will be detailed in every year of food production, purchasing storage, transportation, processing and consumption, according to Zhang.
12. What is CCTV’s attitude toward online eating shows
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. Most video media are contributing to stopping food waste.
B. We should eat up all the food on the table.
C. It’s hard to carry out "Clear Your Plate campaign.
D All the videos that show food waste have been removed.
14. What can we do to avoid food waste
A. We can adopt the “N+1 mode”.
B. We can eat more food than we need.
C. We can choose not to watch online eating shows.
D. We can ask the restaurants to serve us half portions.
15. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Online eating shows should be banned.
B. New laws should be made to avoid food waste.
C. Measures are being taken to stop food waste.
D. We should share photos or videos of empty plates.
