Why Being in a Band Is Cool
When you were younger，a piano lesson may have ruined your day. Carrying a flute（长笛） from class to class just for a half-hour lesson（21）_______have seemed pointless.But as you enter the adult world suddenly you realize that knowing how to play an instrument is pretty cool. Yes, even the flute.
So,what makes being in a band so cool Is it because you get to go on stage and play to millions of adoring fans Well, yes, but it'll be a few years before your dodgy rendition of ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ starts to resemble a Mozart symphony.
(22)_______ talented you've been in music it's still not easy to organize a band, but here's a quick guide to get you started:
1) Find your members.
You'll need a drummer,a guitarist,a bass guitarist and a singer.Any other instruments are a bonus. This is where(23)________(play)the flute comes in, if you can make playing the flute cool, you deserve all the fame and fortune in the world!
2) Organize a band practice.
If you are lucky enough to have a band member(24)_______ a drum kit and parents who are hard of hearing, you can practise at home for free. Otherwise, you'll need to find a local studio(25)______ can be expensive. (26)_______(divide)the cost equally, including the cost of hiring any equipment such as cymbals for the drummer,you rock together, you roll together !
3)Be productive.
If you're paying for a studio, the last thing you want is to spend it catching up with each other,so meet half an hour in advance to get all the chatting(27)_______(finish).
4)Agree on songs to learn, and learn them!
Each band member should choose a song for the whole band(28)______(learn)ready for rehearsal. This will allow you to see(29)________genres（类型）work for your group.
(5)Start writing.
Once you know what music works for you,start writing! You can do this individually or as a band but the most important thing is to respect other people's songs. It's very rare to find (30)_______who isn't shy about sharing their first few pieces of writing,so be nice!
If that sounds like a lot of hard work, then you're right! If it also sounds like a lot of fun, get stated! But what is it that makes all that hard work worth it

The nature is part of us. Therefore , it holds a mysterious ( 31 )__________for me. In my memory , the valley was quiet and calm, only to see the wheat all over the mountains waving together in rhythm when the wind blew through, like a ballet troupe. The sun rose every morning as usual, sweeping across the valley and ultimately falling behind the peaks. The snow that falls in winter always melts in spring, bringing new hope to this nature where everything was pleasant and beautiful.
Led by fate , I have became an environmentalist and had the honor of being invited to address students about my green lifestyle for a long time. The students were surprised at my lifestyle and maybe they thought my lifestyle was no longer suitable for modern life.Fortunately , they were still listened to whole lecture , saluting or ( 32 )_________ me-----to some extent the applause implied their encouragement to me. s I began to interact with them under the stage, I was (33 )__________by kids' lack of knowledge of nature so that they had little knowledge of protecting environment.
After the address, I put up a stand in the ( 34 )__________offering green food , hoping them interested in it to get the ( 35 )____________experiencing a first-hand feeling of the green lifestyle no one shows any interest in. So I decided to team up with the concert (36)__________to run a campaign: “anyone who can answer a( n) (37)__________ environmental question is qualified to attend the concert. Soon the music can (38 )___________them coming here”.
Since then , I have been considering why kids today do not have the same deep appreciation for nature that I do. One of the significant factors may be that the former rural civilization has been replaced by the urban civilization. In the past, the poor played the ( 39 )_________role in the nature , so they cleared the wasteland, planted crops and reproduced civilization. With the massive invasion of industrialization and urbanization, people were forced to move away from nature. The struggle between tradition and modernity , the confrontation between humans and nature has led people to believe that they are the masters of the universe. Is this really the case It is time to think about who ( 40 )_________ us to destroy nature.

The misery of my bike commute in Calgary, Alberta,is the river valley hill. It's not particularly steep,but at about a mile long,I rarely climbed up without arriving with sweat. Studies have shown the prospect of arriving at work sweaty is one of the biggest (41)______ to getting would-be bike commuters out of their cars. That's especially true in a city like Los Angeles,where(42)__ may face long routes , hills or hot streets with a lack of shade.
"Pedelec",or pedal electric-assisted bikes like the one I rode,can end that worry. They look and act like traditional bicycles,but their motors make pedaling much easier when required. Sometimes called the most energy-efficient motorized mode of transportation ever built, they're also incredibly green. The biggest barrier may be the outdated attitude that sees bikes only as a recreational athletic opportunity rather than a practical (43)____ option.
At a time when cities across North America are struggling to combat crippling traffic and reduce climate emissions,e-bikes have the(44) ______ to ease the both problems. And yet ridership has yet to truly(45)____.About 152,000 e-bikes were sold last year in the U.S.,a figure that would be more than 5 million if Americans used them at the same rate as western Europeans.
Many of the barriers to e-bike (46) ______in North America are legislative. Patchwork rules treat e-bikes more like mopeds than traditional pedal bikes in some jurisdictions,meaning they are(47)_from bike lanes and from boarding public transportation.
Few places on the continent,(48) ______, are better poised to break through barriers than California. Legislation was approved last year to encourage e-bike use,by legally differentiating the cycles from mopeds. In an attempt to head off worries about turbocharged machines flying down sidewalks and bike lanes at unsafe speeds,the law classifies bikes into different tiers to (49)___ lower-speed e-bikes,which top out at 20 mph,from faster-moving"speed pedelecs",which are restricted from protected bike paths.
Amid these legislative (50)____, e-bikes have become more accessible to consumer. Finding them in bike shops isn't as(51)____ as it once was,and their cost has fallen as the price of lithium-ion batteries has dropped.Today,a decent e-bike,while still (52)___, is comparable in price to a high-end mountain bike. After years of (53)________over mixing pedal and motor power, cycling advocacy organizations also are finally throwing their support behind e-bikes. Dave Snyder, the executive director of the California Bicycle Coalition, (54)_______ the state's new legislation based partly on the(55)_______that e-bikes help out those who"just can't ride as far or as fast as they need to".

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Among all the different types of journey that people undertake there are also those of a spiritual nature. Some of the trips we do in our lives are purely for pleasure, some are meant to make us stronger, sometimes we travel to explore and learn , and in all of these undertakings we grow and become wiser.
There is a lot we can learn from the land that surrounds us and the best way to acquire that knowledge is by traveling and experiencing. This ancient aboriginal initiation ritual involves exactly this: a long spiritual hike across the indigenous land. Although widely known as “Walkabout ,” in later years the ritual has been referred to as “temporary mobility , " because the former is often used as a derogatory term in Australian culture.
A young man on Walkabout
Historically speaking, the walkabout is a rite of passage in which young ( adolescent )Aboriginal Australians undertake a journey that will help “ transform them into adults. The journey is usually made between the ages of 10 and 16. During this journey which can last for up to six months , the individual is required to live and survive all alone in the wilderness.
This is not an easy thing to do, especially not for teenagers. That is why only those who have proven themselves mentally and physically ready are allowed to proceed with the walkabout. Only the elders of the group decide whether it is time or not for the child to do it.The children are not completely unprepared for the journey. During the years before the walkabout, the elders instruct them and give them advice about the ceremony and adult life in general; they have been passed the “ secrets” of the tribe , the knowledge about their world.
Aboriginal woman
Those who are initiated in the walkabout are also decorated with body paint and ornaments.Sometimes they are marked with a permanent symbol on their bodies, In some cases, a tooth is removed from the mouth , or the nose or ears of the initiated are pierced. Traditional walkabout clothes include only a simple loin cloth and nothing more.
During a walkabout, a young person can sometimes travel a distance of over a l,000miles. In order to survive this long hike , the participant in the walkabout must be able to make their own shelter and must be capable of procuring food and water for themselves.That means he needs to hunt, catch fish, and also recognize and utilize edible and healing plants, The initiated youngster must learn to identify plants such as bush tomatoes, IIIawarra plums, quandongs , lilly-pillies , Muntari berries, wattle seeds, Kakadu plums, and bunya nuts.
56. What can be referred from the first two paragraphs of the passage
A. Australians like to engage in all kinds of travel.
B. People can gain knowledge through travel.
C.Travel is usually purely for pleasure.
D.Walkabout is a long spiritual journey.
57. What do we know about the young Aboriginal Australians
A.All young Australians are required to live alone in the wilderness.
B.The difficulties they experienced in hiking turned them into adults.
C.Walkabout should only be done if they are mentally and physically prepared.
D.Walkabout is an unprepared test for the young Aboriginal Australians.
58. According to the passage , what skill does a person need to acquire in the walkabout
A. Identifying directions
B.Preserving physical strength.
C.Planting plants.
D.Hunting and fishing.
59.Which of the following options is true about walkabout
A. Only people who have experienced torture are qualified to the walkabout.
B. Women must decorate themselves with body paint and ornaments.
C. To survive, the participants need to acquire certain survival skills.
D. Indigenous women are not required to participate in the walkabout

xMAP Technology : The Science
What is multiplexing Multiplexing is a method for high-volume biomarker testing一or testing multiple analytes simultaneously within a single run-using a single sample volume.xMAP Technology is best-suited for testing 3-500 targets.
How does xMAP Technology work xMAP Technology uses labeled micro-spheres or beads, allowing for the simultaneous capture of multiple analytes from a single reaction.Because of their small size and low density, XMAP micro-sphere-based assays exhibit virtual solution-phase kinetics during the reaction. The beads are individually read using an xMAP instrument.
What does xMAP mean Multi-Analyte Profiling, where the “x” represents the biomarkers ( such as proteins , nucleic acids, or polyacrylamides ) that are being tested.
xMAP Beads
xMAP beads come in a variety of formats, including magnetic ( MagPlex ) and nonmagnetic ( MicroPlex) beads.
xMAp beads puss through a red laser, or LED, which excites the internal dyes to distinguish the microsphere set. Then , a green laser or LED excites the fluorescent reporter dye to determine the result of the assay.

C.MAP technology is used more in the experimental phase.
D.The“x”in xMAP represents the biomarkers being tested.
(C)
Life without access to energy is simply miserable. Accessing energy is the single most important factor in improving the lives of individuals and increasing the economic opportunities available in their communities. Access to lighting transforms education from outdoors during the day, to indoors and anytime! A simple refrigerator can transform a fruit stand to a grocery store. Reliable electricity allows businesses to stay open and ultimately provides the cornerstone that allows industries to form.
There is a dominant school of thought that energy access can be achieved around the world with only carbon-free sources. This paradigm envisions effectively"leapfrogging" traditional development patterns,skipping industrialization,and transforming economies with green energy and a service economy. While compelling in theory, this vision lacks several critical factors; the need to manufacture the goods that will build the economy,the scalability of energy sources, and the affordability of that energy.
This transformation is currently underway and its progress is inevitable. The urgency is created by individuals current,difficult conditions and the availability of abundant, affordable energy,particularly coal. All new energy demand will come from the developing world. Without a thoughtful conversation about the projected doubling of world energy demand,energy consumption will continue as it is currently underway, in two parallel paths,One path prioritizes carbon-free sources,and sets goals and policies that incentivize those. The other path responds to the supply and demand inherent in a world economy and is resulting in the massive development of coal-fired electricity generation.
The reality of energy development can be summarized in the example of India's projected energy development.By 2022,India is planning 100 GW of new solar and a relatively tiny 50 MW of new coal. However,a simple calculation of the likely emissions of these two new sources of energy conducted by a colleague at Stanford indicates that if all this new electricity generation came from natural gas, the result would be 20 percent fewer emissions. This is a conversation worth having.
Although not a carbon-free source, natural gas has a trans-formative role to play in the energizing of developing nations. Abundantly available around the world, and more transportable than ever,a world natural gas market is creating a more stable,affordable supply. As an electricity generation fuel, it is both a base load alternative to coal and a backup for renewable generation. In this capacity,natural gas provides carbon and non-carbon air emissions benefits. When used as a transportation fuel,natural gas provides significant air quality benefit to traditional fuels and can be equally affordable. When deployed as a cooking fuel, liquefied petroleum gas(LPG), provides dramatic health benefits and could reduce the unnecessary 4 million annual deaths attributed to cooking over inefficient,biomass fuels. As an economic cornerstone，natural gas can empower industrial development as a chemical feed-stock fertilizer component, direct energy source,and electricity provider.
63.Which of the following is the view of the dominant school
A. We must actively develop manufacturing industry to promote economic development.
B. Energy affordability should be fully considered in the process of economic development
C. Developed countries don't have to worry about energy because of overcapacity.
D. Only carbon-free sources can achieve energy access in the world.
64. Why is it urgent for developing countries to have access to energy
A. Because of insufficient availability energy supply.
B. Because of rapid population growth.
C. Because of huge consumption of renewable energy.
D. Because of serious environmental pollution.
65.Which of the following statements is wrong about natural gas
A. Natural gas resources are abundant all over the world.
B. Natural gas is not only a substitute for coal but a renewable energy.
C. Natural gas is good for the air as a traditional fuel.
D. Natural gas can be used to promote industrial development.
66. According to the passage , which of the following statements is correct
A. Traditional heating water to cook rice can be life-threatening.
B. Natural gas is a kind of carbon-free energy.
C. Energy consumption can only continue in the same way as before.
D. Reducing energy poverty is the common goal of mankind.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A. So why do these movies fail B.The film , in contrast, failed to bring its audience along for the ride. C.Game adaptations’ issues seem not to be due to a lack of resources.D， But the return on investment is not encouraging, with a number failing to recoup costs.E.The potential to appeal to a devoted fan base makes these movies an attractive prospect. F. However, a common criticism was that it was “ full of boring exposition and mostly uninteresting characters”.
Too Big，Too Expensive and Too Silly - Why Video Game Movies Fail
Film adaptations of video games have fallen on the unsuspecting viewing public like a Drop Bear. At first they look harmless enough , but they often leave viewers bruised and regretful.
These movies are plentiful. ( 67 )_________Yet despite big budgets and quality talent both in front of and behind the camera , most video game movies are commercial and critical failures.
(68)____________ The answer comes down to a complex mix of conflicting audience demands and commercial realities. Video game movies often assume that the audience wants, or is interested in , the game's legend and background. In fairness, this is out of fear that fans will criticise legend changes, alienating a key demographic. But games reveal legend progressively over tens of hours of gameplay , whereas movies have a small portion of that time. This tension risks creating boring exposition and complex story lines. For example, Warcraft details the origins of conflict between humans and ores (兽), the central conflict in the game's world.(69)______________
Additionally, excessive adherence to the source material extends to using silly plot device:without spending enough time establishing proper reasons for their existence. In games, the these can work due to the “unspoken but commonly understood logic of ‘this is a video game’". In a game, people accept inconsistent narrative devices because they facilitate interesting interaction and are the quickest route towards allowing gamers to, say , shoot hell-monsters on Mars.
The game series became increasingly complex , as the player-controlled protagonist (主角)parkoured his way through time periods like Renaissance Italy and Revolutionary America. The incredibility of the narrative world paled beside the fun of vaulting from rooftop to rooftop in15th-century Florence.
(70)___________ The plot--an original story which retains the key elements of the games---was criticized as " scattered and fractured",“ hastily explained" and “disorienting”. Vanity Fair pointed out that "it's not clear why any of this is happening" and Roger summed it up as: Characters [talking] in quiet whispers about the complex methods they use to realize their poorly-hidden agendas.
IV.Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Fluido, a Texas-based analytics company, recently released its new product, called FluidoPlus for free. It connects retailers( 零售商) to a cloud-based analytics service using WiFi. They then collect information about customers behaviour by monitoring the media access code (MAC) in every smart phone that enters the stores. This means that stores will be able to implement an analytics package to receive information that could help guide their marketing. With the information , store managers can measure the number of people who walk past the store and the number who come through the front door. Also, this information includes whether or not these people come in immediately or are convinced to do so by the shop front.
Fluido Plus has received a lot of criticism from consumers concerned about their privacy being invaded. But Fluido assures that the MAC data is scrambled, which means that no personally identifiable information is collected. The company also points to the fact that Fluido is a part of the group that initiated the Mobile Location Analytics code of conduct, These sets of rules require companies to receive customers’ agreement before they can collect any personal information.
Emily Carrless, a senior director at the NO Watching Please Co. , believes that this technology ignores customers' privacy. “This is a clear example of profit outweighing privacy, she said. “The use of tracking technology by shops in order to provide a better or more personal service seems totally disproportionate, " Carrless also stressed the importance of customer awareness. She said that while tracking technology was still developing, there was an obvious goal in mind to identify panies like Fluido won't stop at the general information like the number of customers who walk into stores. The long game is about identifying individuals , and this technologies is very close to enabling Fluido to do that.

参考答案
21.may 22. However 23. playing 24. with 25.which
26. Divide 27. finished 28. to learn 29. what 30. someone
答案详解1.考查情态动词。此句中有主语和谓语，在主语和谓语之间的空格缺少情态动词。前句中有may，而且根据句意：“带着笛子从一个班到另一个班仅仅上半小时的课似乎毫无意义。”推测这里也是不确定推测。因此正确答案为may。
22. 考查让步状语从句。这是一个并列复合句。首先是but引导的并列句进行语意转折。然后判定前面也是句子，但是前面是两个句子，这两个句子需要用一个连词引导起来。根据句意：“即使你天生才华横溢，组织一支乐队仍然不是件容易的事，但这里有一个让你开始的快速指南……”，因此这里需要用到让步类的连词符合句意。注意此题在原文基础上有调整将原来的even if/though引导的从句换成However从句，虽然都是让步状语从句，但是有异曲同工之妙。此题错误率比较高，很多同学没有通过上下语境理解这个句子，只从本句去理解填写连词，造成不必要的失分。
23. 考查动名词。这里是where引导的从句作表语，就是表语从句，此句中已经有谓语动词comes，同时根据句意：“这就是长笛的来龙去脉，如果你能让长笛变酷，你就应该名利双收！”。后面句子中的if引导的条件状语从句可以忽略。这里需要用非谓语作主语，这是表示一般的动作，因此正确答案为playing。
24. 考查介词。If引导的条件状语从句，在从句中有完整的主谓宾结构，而空格后面的名词和宾语都是名词，这里需要用介词。根据句意：“如果你有幸有一个带鼓包的乐队成员和重听的父母，你可以在家里免费练习。”因此这里用with。
25.考查定语从句。这里which/that代替前面的先行词studio在从句中作主语。句意为：“否则，你需要找到一个当地的工作室，这可能是昂贵的。”
26. 考查祈使句。
根据后面的including判定空格处的动词为谓语动词，而且没有主语，很容易想到是祈使句。而且根据句意：“均摊成本，包括为鼓手租用任何设备的成本，例如铜钹，你们一起摇滚，一起打鼓！”因此这里填写答案Divide。此题在原文的基础上有修订，将split改为divide，达到异曲同工之妙。但是此题的错误率非常高，同学们看到答案后才恍然大悟，原来的是祈使句。这也说明学生的基础知识不牢固。作为进入高中第一次所学的语法就是复习初中的句子结构成分，为复合句的深入学习铺垫基础。但是同学们往往只看表象，没有理解句法结构而陷入浅层学习中，导致这题失分非常严重。
此外，此题也是和学生的心理素质有关，认为给一个动词，直接填写动词本身，感觉不可思议，而不去看语篇文章的本身。这道语法题作为2021年的新高考题型的创新题，达到了出题的目的，区分了不同层度的学生的语言水平。这将为2022年的高考带来反思：扎实的学习，但是不带固定思维，从不同题型的语篇结构出发，深入分析考点的本质而不是只看表面。
今后的高考中还会出现类似创新思维的题项，结合真题做好反思总结，为考前的综合语言能力水平铺垫扎实基础。
27. 考查过去分词。So后面的句子中有谓语动词meet，因此空格处的动词一定是非谓语。根据此句句意：“如果你要为一个工作室买单，你最不想的就是花时间互相攀谈，所以提前半小时见面，把所有的闲聊都完成。”这里是finish作get补语，且与前面的chatting之间是被动关系。因此用finished。
28. 考查动词不定式。根据此句的谓语动词choose，判定这里是非谓语动词。根据句意：“每个乐队成员都应该为整个乐队选择一首歌曲，为排练做好准备。”这里用不定式作目的状语。
29. 考查宾语从句。what引导的从句作see的宾语，也就是宾语从句。而且what是代词性质，在从句中也作从句主语genres的限制语。而且根据句意：“这将让你看到什么类型的作品为您的小组使用。”这里用what为正确答案。
30. 考查不定代词。空格前面是find,后面是who引导的定语从句，判定这里需要一个代词。根据句意：“。很少有人不羞于分享他们的前几篇文章，所以要友善！”因此这里用someone。
原文翻译
当你年轻的时候，钢琴课可能毁了你的一天。带着笛子从一个班到另一个班仅仅上半小时的课似乎毫无意义。但是当你进入成人世界时，你突然意识到知道如何演奏乐器是很酷的。是的，连笛子都有。
那么，是什么让加入乐队如此酷呢？是不是因为你能在舞台上为数百万崇拜的歌迷表演？好吧，是的，但要过几年，你那狡猾的“闪烁，闪烁的小星星”的演绎才开始像莫扎特的交响曲。
即使你天生才华横溢，组织一支乐队仍然不是件容易的事，但这里有一个让你开始的快速指南：
1） 找到你的成员。
你需要一个鼓手，一个吉他手，一个低音吉他手和一个歌手。任何其他乐器都是额外的。这就是长笛的来龙去脉，如果你能让长笛变酷，你就应该名利双收！
2） 组织乐队练习。
如果你有幸有一个带鼓包的乐队成员和重听的父母，你可以在家里免费练习。否则，你需要找到一个当地的工作室，这可能是昂贵的。均摊成本，包括为鼓手租用任何设备的成本，例如铜钹，你们一起摇滚，一起打鼓！
3） 富有成效。
如果你要为一个工作室买单，你最不想的就是花时间互相攀谈，所以提前半小时见面，把所有的闲聊都完成。
4） 同意歌曲学习，并学习他们！
每个乐队成员都应该为整个乐队选择一首歌曲，为排练做好准备。这将让你看到什么类型的作品为您的小组。

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Among all the different types of journey that people undertake there are also those of a spiritual nature. Some of the trips we do in our lives are purely for pleasure, some are meant to make us stronger, sometimes we travel to explore and learn , and in all of these undertakings we grow and become wiser.
There is a lot we can learn from the land that surrounds us and the best way to acquire that knowledge is by traveling and experiencing. This ancient aboriginal initiation ritual involves exactly this: a long spiritual hike across the indigenous land. Although widely known as “Walkabout ,” in later years the ritual has been referred to as “temporary mobility , " because the former is often used as a derogatory term in Australian culture.
A young man on Walkabout
Historically speaking, the walkabout is a rite of passage in which young ( adolescent )Aboriginal Australians undertake a journey that will help “ transform them into adults. The journey is usually made between the ages of 10 and 16. During this journey which can last for up to six months , the individual is required to live and survive all alone in the wilderness.
This is not an easy thing to do, especially not for teenagers. That is why only those who have proven themselves mentally and physically ready are allowed to proceed with the walkabout. Only the elders of the group decide whether it is time or not for the child to do it.The children are not completely unprepared for the journey. During the years before the walkabout, the elders instruct them and give them advice about the ceremony and adult life in general; they have been passed the “ secrets” of the tribe , the knowledge about their world.
Aboriginal woman
Those who are initiated in the walkabout are also decorated with body paint and ornaments.Sometimes they are marked with a permanent symbol on their bodies, In some cases, a tooth is removed from the mouth , or the nose or ears of the initiated are pierced. Traditional walkabout clothes include only a simple loin cloth and nothing more.
During a walkabout, a young person can sometimes travel a distance of over a l,000miles. In order to survive this long hike , the participant in the walkabout must be able to make their own shelter and must be capable of procuring food and water for themselves.That means he needs to hunt, catch fish, and also recognize and utilize edible and healing plants, The initiated youngster must learn to identify plants such as bush tomatoes, IIIawarra plums, quandongs , lilly-pillies , Muntari berries, wattle seeds, Kakadu plums, and bunya nuts.
56. What can be referred from the first two paragraphs of the passage
A. Australians like to engage in all kinds of travel.
B. People can gain knowledge through travel.
C.Travel is usually purely for pleasure.
D.Walkabout is a long spiritual journey.
57. What do we know about the young Aboriginal Australians
A.All young Australians are required to live alone in the wilderness.
B.The difficulties they experienced in hiking turned them into adults.
C.Walkabout should only be done if they are mentally and physically prepared.
D.Walkabout is an unprepared test for the young Aboriginal Australians.
58. According to the passage , what skill does a person need to acquire in the walkabout
A. Identifying directions
B.Preserving physical strength.
C.Planting plants.
D.Hunting and fishing.
59.Which of the following options is true about walkabout
A. Only people who have experienced torture are qualified to the walkabout.
B. Women must decorate themselves with body paint and ornaments.
C. To survive, the participants need to acquire certain survival skills.
D. Indigenous women are not required to participate in the walkabout

xMAP Technology : The Science
What is multiplexing Multiplexing is a method for high-volume biomarker testing一or testing multiple analytes simultaneously within a single run-using a single sample volume.xMAP Technology is best-suited for testing 3-500 targets.
How does xMAP Technology work xMAP Technology uses labeled micro-spheres or beads, allowing for the simultaneous capture of multiple analytes from a single reaction.Because of their small size and low density, XMAP micro-sphere-based assays exhibit virtual solution-phase kinetics during the reaction. The beads are individually read using an xMAP instrument.
What does xMAP mean Multi-Analyte Profiling, where the “x” represents the biomarkers ( such as proteins , nucleic acids, or polyacrylamides ) that are being tested.
xMAP Beads
xMAP beads come in a variety of formats, including magnetic ( MagPlex ) and nonmagnetic ( MicroPlex) beads.
xMAp beads puss through a red laser, or LED, which excites the internal dyes to distinguish the microsphere set. Then , a green laser or LED excites the fluorescent reporter dye to determine the result of the assay.

61.B[解析]细节题。根据文章中“Key Advantages ofxMAP Technology”部分的介绍可知A和D是xMAP的优势;根据文章中“Generate more data while saving sample,time,and reagents”生成更多数据，同时节省样本、时间和试剂，可知D也是XMAP 的优势之一。故答案选 B，文章中没有提到xMAP 可以形成网状结构。
62.D[解析]根据文章中“Multi-Analyte Profiling,where the“x”represents the biomarkers (such as proteins, nucleic acids, or polysaccharides) that are being tested.'多分析物分析，其中“x”代表正在测试的生物标记物(如蛋白质、核酸或多糖)可知D正确。根据文章中“xMAP beads pass through a red laser, or LED,which excites the internal dyes to distinguish the microsphere set."xMAP 珠子通过一个红色的激光，或发光二极管，激发内部染料来区分微球组，可知A错误;根据中“ xMAP Technology uses labeled microspheres or beads, allowing for the simultaneous capture of multiple analytes from a single reaction."xMAP 技术使用标记的微球或微珠，允许从单个反应中同时捕获多个分析物。可知 B 错误;根据文靠中的标题“xMAP- The World's Most Used Multiplexing多路复用技术，以及文章中讲到的xMAP的应用可知C错误。
(C)
Life without access to energy is simply miserable. Accessing energy is the single most important factor in improving the lives of individuals and increasing the economic opportunities available in their communities. Access to lighting transforms education from outdoors during the day, to indoors and anytime! A simple refrigerator can transform a fruit stand to a grocery store. Reliable electricity allows businesses to stay open and ultimately provides the cornerstone that allows industries to form.
There is a dominant school of thought that energy access can be achieved around the world with only carbon-free sources. This paradigm envisions effectively"leapfrogging" traditional development patterns,skipping industrialization,and transforming economies with green energy and a service economy. While compelling in theory, this vision lacks several critical factors; the need to manufacture the goods that will build the economy,the scalability of energy sources, and the affordability of that energy.
This transformation is currently underway and its progress is inevitable. The urgency is created by individuals current,difficult conditions and the availability of abundant, affordable energy,particularly coal. All new energy demand will come from the developing world. Without a thoughtful conversation about the projected doubling of world energy demand,energy consumption will continue as it is currently underway, in two parallel paths,One path prioritizes carbon-free sources,and sets goals and policies that incentivize those. The other path responds to the supply and demand inherent in a world economy and is resulting in the massive development of coal-fired electricity generation.
The reality of energy development can be summarized in the example of India's projected energy development.By 2022,India is planning 100 GW of new solar and a relatively tiny 50 MW of new coal. However,a simple calculation of the likely emissions of these two new sources of energy conducted by a colleague at Stanford indicates that if all this new electricity generation came from natural gas, the result would be 20 percent fewer emissions. This is a conversation worth having.
Although not a carbon-free source, natural gas has a trans-formative role to play in the energizing of developing nations. Abundantly available around the world, and more transportable than ever,a world natural gas market is creating a more stable,affordable supply. As an electricity generation fuel, it is both a base load alternative to coal and a backup for renewable generation. In this capacity,natural gas provides carbon and non-carbon air emissions benefits. When used as a transportation fuel,natural gas provides significant air quality benefit to traditional fuels and can be equally affordable. When deployed as a cooking fuel, liquefied petroleum gas(LPG), provides dramatic health benefits and could reduce the unnecessary 4 million annual deaths attributed to cooking over inefficient,biomass fuels. As an economic cornerstone，natural gas can empower industrial development as a chemical feed-stock fertilizer component, direct energy source,and electricity provider.
63.Which of the following is the view of the dominant school
A. We must actively develop manufacturing industry to promote economic development.
B. Energy affordability should be fully considered in the process of economic development
C. Developed countries don't have to worry about energy because of overcapacity.
D. Only carbon-free sources can achieve energy access in the world.
64. Why is it urgent for developing countries to have access to energy
A. Because of insufficient availability energy supply.
B. Because of rapid population growth.
C. Because of huge consumption of renewable energy.
D. Because of serious environmental pollution.
65.Which of the following statements is wrong about natural gas
A. Natural gas resources are abundant all over the world.
B. Natural gas is not only a substitute for coal but a renewable energy.
C. Natural gas is good for the air as a traditional fuel.
D. Natural gas can be used to promote industrial development.
66. According to the passage , which of the following statements is correct
A. Traditional heating water to cook rice can be life-threatening.
B. Natural gas is a kind of carbon-free energy.
C. Energy consumption can only continue in the same way as before.
D. Reducing energy poverty is the common goal of mankind.
【答案】63-66. DACD
63题：答案D
A选项是“我们要积极发展制造业来促进经济的发展。”文中并没有提到这一点；B选项是“在经济发展过过程中，能源的可获得性要充分予以考虑。”原文中是这样说的，“While compelling in theory, this vision lacks several critical factors: the need to manufacture the goods that will build the economy, the scalability of energy sources, and the affordability of that energy”。虽然这一愿景在理论上令人信服，但它缺少几个关键因素：制造将构建经济的商品的需要、能源的可扩展性以及能源的可承受性。很显然，B选项是错误的。
C选项文中没有提及到发展中国家不需要担忧能源问题。
D选项则为答案。请看原文提及到“There is a dominant school of thought that energy access can be achieved around the world with only carbon-free sources.”有一个占主导地位的学派认为，只有无碳能源才能在世界各地获得能源。
64题：答案A。题干问的是为什么发展中国家迫切需要获得能源？原文提到“The urgency is created by individuals’ current, difficult conditions and the availability of abundant, affordable energy, particularly coal.”这种紧迫性是由个人目前的困难条件以及丰富、廉价的能源（特别是煤炭）的可用性造成的。可知A答案正确。
65题：答案C。选项C的意思为“天然气对空气有好处”。但原文说到，“When used as a transportation fuel, natural gas provides significant airquality benefit to traditional fuels and can be equally affordable.”当用作运输燃料时，天然气比传统燃料提供了显著的空气质量优势，而且价格也同样合理。其他ABC与原文意思相符合。故选答案C。
66题：答案D。请看文中有这样的句子，“With over one billion people around the world faced with such simple barriers to improving their lives, reducing energy poverty can serve as a shared goal that transcends political, cultural, and regional barriers.”全世界有10亿多人面临改善生活的简单障碍，因此减少能源贫困可以成为超越政治、文化和地区障碍的共同目标。可知D选项正确。
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A. So why do these movies fail B.The film , in contrast, failed to bring its audience along for the ride. C.Game adaptations’ issues seem not to be due to a lack of resources.D， But the return on investment is not encouraging, with a number failing to recoup costs.E.The potential to appeal to a devoted fan base makes these movies an attractive prospect. F. However, a common criticism was that it was “ full of boring exposition and mostly uninteresting characters”.
Too Big，Too Expensive and Too Silly - Why Video Game Movies Fail
Film adaptations of video games have fallen on the unsuspecting viewing public like a Drop Bear. At first they look harmless enough , but they often leave viewers bruised and regretful.
These movies are plentiful. ( 67 )_________Yet despite big budgets and quality talent both in front of and behind the camera , most video game movies are commercial and critical failures.
(68)____________ The answer comes down to a complex mix of conflicting audience demands and commercial realities. Video game movies often assume that the audience wants, or is interested in , the game's legend and background. In fairness, this is out of fear that fans will criticise legend changes, alienating a key demographic. But games reveal legend progressively over tens of hours of gameplay , whereas movies have a small portion of that time. This tension risks creating boring exposition and complex story lines. For example, Warcraft details the origins of conflict between humans and ores (兽), the central conflict in the game's world.(69)______________
Additionally, excessive adherence to the source material extends to using silly plot device:without spending enough time establishing proper reasons for their existence. In games, the these can work due to the “unspoken but commonly understood logic of ‘this is a video game’". In a game, people accept inconsistent narrative devices because they facilitate interesting interaction and are the quickest route towards allowing gamers to, say , shoot hell-monsters on Mars.
The game series became increasingly complex , as the player-controlled protagonist (主角)parkoured his way through time periods like Renaissance Italy and Revolutionary America. The incredibility of the narrative world paled beside the fun of vaulting from rooftop to rooftop in15th-century Florence.
(70)___________ The plot--an original story which retains the key elements of the games---was criticized as " scattered and fractured",“ hastily explained" and “disorienting”. Vanity Fair pointed out that "it's not clear why any of this is happening" and Roger summed it up as: Characters [talking] in quiet whispers about the complex methods they use to realize their poorly-hidden agendas.
【答案】67-70 EAFB
【解析】67.E[解析]句意:吸引忠实影迷的潜力使这些电影具有诱人的前景。结合上提及的 At first they look harmless enough, but they often leave viewers bruised and regretful 可知此处提到了电影的观众，而选项中与观众有关的是 B 和E 项，但是B项特指某一部电影，又根据下文 most video game movies are commercial and critical failures 可知此处是对大多数这种类型的电影的相关评价，故选 E。68.A[解析]句意:那么为什么这些电影会失败呢 结合下文中的 The answer comes down to a complex mix of conflicting audience demands and commercial realities 可推知此处需要填入一个问句，故此处填入 A 项最为合适。69.F[解析]句意:然而，一个常见的批评是，它“充满了枯燥的论述，大多是味的人物”。结合该段内容可知,此处主要讲述的是视频游戏电影失败的原因日根据 For example, Warcraft details the origins of conflict between humans and orcs兽),the central conflict in the game's world 可知，此处以《魔兽争霸》举例，应该是说这部电影的不足之处，故下项比较合适。
70.B[解析]句意:相比之下，这部电影没能吸引观众。结合下文中提到的 The plot-an original story which retains the key elements of the games--was criticized as“scattered and fractured”,“hastily explained”and“disorienting”可知，此处收获的都是不好的评价，即这部电影失败了，故此处应该填入 B 项。
IV.Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Fluido, a Texas-based analytics company, recently released its new product, called FluidoPlus for free. It connects retailers( 零售商) to a cloud-based analytics service using WiFi. They then collect information about customers behaviour by monitoring the media access code (MAC) in every smart phone that enters the stores. This means that stores will be able to implement an analytics package to receive information that could help guide their marketing. With the information , store managers can measure the number of people who walk past the store and the number who come through the front door. Also, this information includes whether or not these people come in immediately or are convinced to do so by the shop front.
Fluido Plus has received a lot of criticism from consumers concerned about their privacy being invaded. But Fluido assures that the MAC data is scrambled, which means that no personally identifiable information is collected. The company also points to the fact that Fluido is a part of the group that initiated the Mobile Location Analytics code of conduct, These sets of rules require companies to receive customers’ agreement before they can collect any personal information.
Emily Carrless, a senior director at the NO Watching Please Co. , believes that this technology ignores customers' privacy. “This is a clear example of profit outweighing privacy, she said. “The use of tracking technology by shops in order to provide a better or more personal service seems totally disproportionate, " Carrless also stressed the importance of customer awareness. She said that while tracking technology was still developing, there was an obvious goal in mind to identify panies like Fluido won't stop at the general information like the number of customers who walk into stores. The long game is about identifying individuals , and this technologies is very close to enabling Fluido to do that.

Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets
72. 羽毛球馆空无一人，为什么灯还亮着？(how come)
【答案及解析】
The badminton court/hall/gym/stadium is empty, but /and how come the light(s) is/are still on
Or: How come the light is still on when there is nobody in the badminton stadium.
Or:There's nobody in the badminton stadium. How comes the light is still on
此句中包含四字语“空无一人”, 这里需要注意how come和why的去区别，特别是在口语化的场景下大量使用how come代替why，但是注意两者语序的差别，why后面是部分到状语序，而why是陈述语序。
73. 我花了三天时间画了一幅风景画，庆祝曾祖父的一百岁寿辰。(take)
【答案及解析】
It took me three days to paint a landscape to celebrate my great-grandfather’s 100th birthday.
Or: It took me three days to paint a landscape to congratulate on my great grand 100th birthday.
Or: It takes me three days to draw a landscape to celebrate my great grandfather birthday.
此句中的“风景画”翻译为landscape，在考纲词汇中，是其第二个意思。take作为花费的句型表达：It takes/took sb some time to do sth，用it形式主语，不定式作真正主语。此外"曾祖父"翻译为 great grandfather。
74. 在太空遨游一周后，载人飞船安全着陆，那一刻，原本寂静无声的发射中心一片欢腾。(The instant)
【答案及解析】
The instant the manned spaceship landed safely after flying in space for a week, the quiet launch centre exploded with joyful cheers.
The instant the manned spacecraft landed safely after a week’s travel in the universe, the previously silent launching center burst into great joy.
The instant the manned spacecraft landed safely after a week’s travel in space, the previously silent launching center burst into great joy.
此句中有四字语“安全着路”翻译为land safely。“一片欢腾”翻译为burst into great joy由于提示词有大写字母，实际考查“一......就“引导的时间状语从句，用as soon as作为基本用法。as soon as...可译为一……就……，用来表示主从句的动作是紧接着发生的。
He will come and see you as soon as he can.
他一有空就来看你。
He rushed home as soon as he got the good news.
他一得到这个好消息就奔回家。
同时这个结构用四种变形：
（1）一……就……还可以用on/ upon doing 结构来表示
On arriving home he called up Lester.
= As soon as he arrived home, he called up Lester.
（2）immediately/ instantly/ directly
相当于as soon as，从句中用一般过去时态。
They phoned her immediately they reached home.
他一到家马上就给她打了电话。
I recognized her instantly I caught a glimpse of her.
我一看见她就把她认出来了。
We came directly we got your telephone.
我们一接到你的电话就赶来了。
（3）the moment/ the minute/ the instant/ the second
这几个名词短语也可用作连词，直接引导时间状语从句。
He said he'd turn on TV the moment he got home.
他说他一到家就打开电视机。
Tell him I need to see him the minute he arrives.
告诉他，他一到我就要见他。
The second the bell rang, the students rushed out of the classroom.
铃一响，学生就冲出了教室。
（4）hardly / scarcely…when; no sooner…than
这两个短语都表示刚……就……，可以互换，主句通常用去完成时。
He had no sooner started out than he felt homesick.
他刚出发就想起家来。
He had hardly started his speech when someone rose to refute his points.
他刚开始发言，就有人站起来反驳他的论点。
注意：
当hardly, scarcely, no sooner 位于句子的开头时，主句须用倒装语序。
Hardly had she fallen asleep when a knock at the door woke her up.
她刚要睡着，忽然敲门声把她吵醒。
No sooner was the frost off the ground than the work began.
地上的霜一消散, 人们就开始工作了。
75. 这条小溪蜿蜒流淌，陪伴着世代居住的村民，见证了这个村庄的日新月异。(company)
【答案及解析】
The river that winds its way, in the company of the villagers who have lived there for generations, has witnessed the ongoing changes in the village.
The winding river has kept the villagers’ company who have lived here for generations and witnessed the rapid changes of the village.
The winding stream is in company with the villagers all the time who have lived here for generations, witnessing the rapid changes of the village.
注意此句中的四字语“蜿蜒流淌”winding。wind的作为名词是风的意思，作为动词就是“蜿蜒前进”。“日新月异” rapid changes。此外就是提示词company是名词，因为考纲里给的就是名词，我们首先想到的就是短语：keep sb’s company（变形为keep company of sb）或者in company with。这里个别人用company动词，不过其可以作为动词是词典里面的用法，超出考纲范围，更为重要的是同学们还学到动词accompany表示陪伴，很少用到company作为动词。这个作为名词，表示“陪伴”属于熟词生义现象。

参考范文：
Dear Lucy,
My name is Wang Jia, a senior 3 student at the school. I’m deeply interested in the course in information literacy that you're planning to launch. So I’m writing this email to inform you of my choice of the two sections I'd like to learn about, which are “smart internet searching” and “information credibility evaluation”.
To begin with, I've based my decision on the expectation that the combination of the two sections can lead me to my desired results. It s, in my view, self-evident that searching for the information I need and ensuring the authenticity of its content are interconnected.
In addition, in today's digitalized world and with the expansion of social media, information is everywhere and misinformation is prevalent. The challenge then is to separate fact from falsehood，efficiently and effectively. Take practical preventive measures in the case of COVID-19 as an example——the general public can be easily overwhelmed by a host of seemingly identical and potentially false news reports.
Consequently, if properly instructed in the basic skills of using information technology, including how to pinpoint what I’m looking for and to verily that what I've found is valid, I may be better prepared next time when in urgent need of accurate information.
In a nutshell, in the hope of improving my information literacy level, I expect to learn more from your course about the information world and the ways in which to safely navigate through it with ease.
Thank you for your time and have a great day. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Wane Jia

Section B
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
A home energy checkup helps determine where your house is losing energy and money. When such problems are corrected, your home will be more energy efficient. While a professional energy check-up provides a complete picture of your home's energy use, a deligent self-assessment can also help you find small problem areas. First, make a list of obvious air leaks. Check for indoor air leaks, such as gaps along the edge of the flooring and joints of the walls and ceiling. Also check for the leaks on the outside of your home, especially in areas where two different building materials meet.
Finally, remember to check other places for leaks including windows, doors and switches. The potential energy savings from reducing leaks in the home may range from 10% to 20% per year. This do-it-yourself home energy checkup will not be as thorough as a professional home energy assessment, but it can help you highlight some of the easier areas to address. When walking through your home, keep a checklist of the areas you have inspected and the problems you have found. This list will help you decide which energy efficiency upgrade should be given priority to.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Semus Heaney was awarded the nobel prize in literature in 1995 when he was teaching at Harvard University. On the day when Harvard celebrated its three hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary before a large audience, he recited his poem composed in 1986 for the university's three hundred and fiftieth anniversary. This 1986 poem relies on the power of repeating words and sounds. Heaney said in an interview. "There's a kind of bell ringing quality to the poem, which makes it easy on the air." He remembered writing just two poems during his early years at Harvard when he taught and read a lot. One poem is the anniversary poem. And the other is about learning the alphabets at primary school. Heaney also recalled the physical Harvard where he had many happy moments. He said,"I still remember the excitement of driving around the campus and seeing the outlines of the houses, and I enjoyed a few quite corners on campus where I would sit down and take a nap. The library at Adam's house for one and the woodbury poetry room for another. Then there was the yard. It was the inspiration for the anniversary poem and also a place that reminded me of my own boyhood in the countryside because it used to be a cow yard."
