Christian Liden decided that he would not pick out a ring from a jeweler’s like most other people. He hatched an ambitious plan to create a personalized ring for his future wife, Desirae Clovis. Therefore, he made up his mind to go into the wild to find his own materials: the diamond, the gold and the accompanying jewels.
So, in May 2022, Liden told Clovis that he and Josh Tucker, his best friend, were heading out on a camp to Yellowstone. Instead, he and Tucker made for Crater of Diamonds State Park, Arkansas, which is set on a volcanic crater. The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and can keep them for free. Since its opening, only 1 in10,000 park visitors is lucky enough to find a diamond that weighs a carat or more. Still, he was up for the challenge.
On their way Liden and Tucker stopped in Helena, Montana, to mine for accompanying jewels to add to the diamond they hoped to score. In Arkansas, the pair paid $10 each to get into the park and spent almost three days searching through the volcanic dirt.
On the third morning, Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands. “I was so excited that I started shaking.” he said, “It was oily and shiny, and we both just knew it was a Diamond.”
It was confirmed that Liden had found a 2.2-carat yellow diamond. Similarly-sized diamonds go for $2,500 to $20,000 per carat, depending on quality, color and cut. But the value wasn’t what was important to Liden.
When he pulled out the diamond and got on his knee upon his return, Clovis was amazed. “I knew that he was going to propose someday, she said, “but I certainly didn’t expect this.”
4. What was Christian Liden’s ambitious plan
A. He intended his ring to consist of various jewels.
B. He would get a personalized ring from a jeweler’s
C. He decided to make a ring together with his future wife.
D. He planned to hunt for a natural diamond to create a ring.
5. Why did Liden and Tucker choose Crater of Diamond State Park
A. It was the only place that charged jewel hunters nothing
B. They were likely to find more than just natural diamonds
C. The majority of park visitors had got their ideal diamonds
D. The public was allowed to keep any diamond found there.
6 Why was Liden excited about his findings
A. He had got the largest diamond in the park’s history.
B. The value of the diamond was above his expectations.
C. He was lucky to acquire the diamond for his dream ring.
D. The quality and color of his diamond ranked among the best.
7. What can we learn from the story
A. True love stories never have endings. B. Love shows more in action than in words.
C. Absence makes two hearts grow fonder. D. A life lived in love will never be boring.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“He hatched an ambitious plan to create a personalized ring for his future wife, Desirae Clovis. Therefore, he made up his mind to go into the wild to find his own materials: the diamond, the gold and the accompanying jewels.(他制定了一个雄心勃勃的计划，为他未来的妻子Desirae Clovis设计一枚个性化的戒指。因此，他下定决心要到野外去寻找属于自己的材料：钻石、黄金和与之配套的珠宝。)”可知，为了给他未来的妻子设计一枚个性化的戒指，他计划寻找天然钻石制作钻戒。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and can keep them for free.(该公园是世界上少数几个欢迎公众寻找真钻石并可以免费收藏的地方之一。)”可知，在该公园，公众可以保留在那里发现的任何钻石。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“On the third morning, Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands. “I was so excited that I started shaking.” he said, “It was oily and shiny, and we both just knew it was a Diamond.”(第三天早上，Liden突然发现沙滩上有反光东西。“我激动得浑身发抖。他说，“它又油又亮，我们俩都知道它是钻石。”)”可知，Liden之所以兴奋是因为他幸运地找到了制作戒指的钻石。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文以及根据文章最后一段“When he pulled out the diamond and got on his knee upon his return, Clovis was amazed. “I knew that he was going to propose someday, she said, “but I certainly didn’t expect this.”(当他取出钻石，回来时单膝跪地，Clovis很惊讶。“我知道他总有一天会向我求婚，”她说，“但我万万没想到会这样。”)”可知，Liden为了给未来妻子定做钻石，所以计划去自然寻找天然原石，后来两人经历艰辛万苦，发现了钻石，由此Liden向爱人求婚表达爱意。由此推断文章阐述的道理是Liden用具体的行动表达处对Clovis的爱，故B选项“Love shows more in action than in words.(爱体现在行动胜于语言。)”符合题意。故选B。
C
“Latte papa” is a term that refers to an attentive and attractive Swedish dad that can often be found with kids in coffee shops with prams (婴儿车) wearing designer clothes. Men with prams have become such a familiar sight since shared parental leave was first introduced in 1974 in Sweden.
In Malmo, the papas often outnumber the mamas. I’ll find myself sitting cross legged next to a quite Swedish engineer, a biker, or a computer programmer as our children play with toys.
This type of stylish dad gained prominence in the 2010s. Through the family leave program, both parents receive a collective 480 days and the parents can choose who gets to use them. This has led to more dads staying home with the kids and has allowed more women to pursue their careers.
It’s around 6 p.m. and my daughter Eira is crying and I can’t work out what she wants. I try walking her around the kitchen for what seems like the 50th time today. I throw a fury toy at her, hoping it’ll comfort her. I’ve tried all objects that have fascinated in the past, but nothing works. When my wife Mia finally gets home, I hand the baby over and drop exhausted on to the sofa. I’m so tired that I’m in bed by nine, and sleep through until 5:30 a.m., when her coughing and crying wakes me to the next day of my six month.
It has only taken a few weeks of this for me to know what the majority of British fathers never find out. When I thought I was being sympathetic to my wife during her child leave, I wasn’t being nearly sympathetic enough. And when I thought I was being understanding, I didn’t understand a thing.
In Sweden, men’s painful discovery of how exhausting it is to look after a baby is believed to aid parental harmony. Swedes tend to see generous shared parental leave as good for the economy, since it prevents the nation’s investment in women’s education from going to waste.
8. “Latte papa” is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to ________.
A. comment on parental leave B. stress the importance of the policy
C. introduce the topic of parental leave D. support the author’s opinion
9. What does the underlined phrase “prominence” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Talent. B. Reputation. C. Career. D. Confidence.
10. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 and 5
A. The author is good at taking care of kids.
B. The author really enjoys attending to kids.
C. It is challenging for the author to look after kids.
D. The author’ wife is relaxed during her child leave.
11. According to Swedes, what is the advantage of parental leave
A. It helps boost the understanding between friends.
B. It leads to nation’s investment in women’s health.
C. It helps parents to be sympathetic to their kids.
D. It is beneficial for the economic development.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。“拿铁爸爸”是指在咖啡店里带着婴儿车陪着孩子的穿着名牌衣服的细心、有魅力的瑞典爸爸，自1974年瑞典首次引入共享育儿假以来，推着婴儿车的男性已经成为了一个熟悉的景象。文章对这种现象进行了介绍。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Men with prams have become such a familiar sight since shared parental leave was first introduced in 1974 in Sweden.(自1974年瑞典首次引入共享育儿假以来，推着婴儿车的男性已经成为了一个熟悉的景象。)”可知，第一段中提到“拿铁爸爸”是为了引入育儿假的话题。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第二句和第三句“Through the family leave program, both parents receive a collective 480 days and the parents can choose who gets to use them. This has led to more dads staying home with the kids and has allowed more women to pursue their careers.(通过家庭假计划，父母双方都有480天的假期，父母可以选择谁来使用这些假期。这导致更多的父亲在家照顾孩子，并允许更多的女性追求自己的事业。)”可知，此处是指这种型男在2010年代开始崭露头角，所以prominence意为“名誉，名声”。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“I’m so tired that I’m in bed by nine, and sleep through until 5:30 a.m., when her coughing and crying wakes me to the next day of my six month.(当我的妻子米娅终于回家时，我把孩子交给她，筋疲力尽地倒在沙发上。我太累了，9点就上床睡觉，一直睡到凌晨5点半，她的咳嗽和哭泣把我吵醒，让我想起这是六个月的第二天。)”可知，从第四段和第五段中可以推断出照看孩子对作者来说是一个挑战。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Swedes tend to see generous shared parental leave as good for the economy, since it prevents the nation’s investment in women’s education from going to waste.(瑞典人倾向于认为，慷慨的共同育儿假有利于经济发展，因为它可以防止国家在女性教育上的投资浪费。)”可知，瑞典人认为共同育儿假的好处是有利于经济发展。故选D。
D
In Asia, meetings do not begin until business cards have been exchanged. It is no mere formality. If a new acquaintance fails to give a card to Glenn Lim of CEO Asia, a Singaporean company, “it makes me forget them,” he says.
Yet the pandemic has put the business card on life working is difficult when white-collar workers have fled to home offices, business lunches have been canceled and conferences have been held online. Orders for business cards from Vistaprint, a multinational printing company, decreased by 70% in late March and early. April and have yet to recover fully. Mr.Lim normally hands out about 200 cards a month. In the six months following Singapore’s lockdown in March, he assumes he received about five. “I’ve forgotten what business cards look like,” remarks a British banker based in Singapore.
But it is still helpful to know who is who at meetings, even when.they take place on panies are therefore reimagining the business card for the era of social distancing, Nagaya, a Japanese firm, prints them on face masks. After the launch of the “Meishi” mask, traffic to Nagaya’s website increased by 65,000%. Sansan, another Japanese firm, offers “virtual cards”. Users receive QR codes which they display as virtual backgrounds on video-conferencing apps. Scanning the code with a phone camera will summon (召唤) the user’s digital business card. Some 4,300 companies have begun using Sansan’s virtual cards since they launched in June.
But Mr. Lim, who uses Sansan’s virtual cards, does not plan on throwing away the paper version just yet. People tend to exchange virtual cards after meetings have started or as they end, forcing participants to ask who does what during the meeting itself.
“That’s sometimes a little bit rude,” he says. Many others in Singapore are evidently fond of paper cards, too. Sales at Express-Print, a printing company, have picked up in the past two months, as more people restart in-person meetings. Even Edward Senju, the head of Sansan’s operations in Squth-East Asia, still keeps in his wallet, “just in case”.
12. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
A. We can’t stop using the business card.
B. Pandemic brought the business card to life.
C. Networking needs the support of business card.
D. The industry of business card has been declining.

B. Virtual cards are increasingly popover in business.
C. Wearing masks has brought profits to the company,
D. Science and technology is the foundation of business.
14. What is Mr Lim’s attitude towards paper business cards
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Supportive.
15. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Here is my QR code B. Business cards come to grand
C. Here comes a new economic era D. The pandemic takes a lows to bushiness
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。名片是现代商务活动中必不可少的工具之一。但随着新冠肺炎疫情的爆发，世界各国纷纷采取了各种社交疏离的措施，人们便很难再将手中的纸质名片递给他人了。于是，作为替代品的各类数字名片便应运而生。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句下文“Networking is difficult when white-collar workers have fled to home offices, business lunches have been canceled and conferences have been held online. Orders for business cards from Vistaprint, a multinational printing company, decreased by 70% in late March and early.(当白领们都逃到家里的办公室，商务午餐被取消，会议都在网上举行时，建立关系网变得很困难。跨国印刷公司Vistaprint的名片订单在3月底和3月初下降了70%)”可推知，划线句子Yet the pandemic has put the business card on life support.的意思是“新冠疫情已经让名片行业陷入了生命维持的困境”，即“名片行业一直在走下坡路”。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“After the launch of the “Meishi” mask, traffic to Nagaya’s website increased by 65,000%. Sansan, another Japanese firm, offers “virtual cards”.(在推出“美诗”口罩后，长谷的网站流量增加了65000%。另一家日本公司三山提供“虚拟卡”)”“Some 4,300 companies have begun using Sansan’s virtual cards since they launched in June(自6月份推出三山虚拟卡以来，已有约4300家公司开始使用该虚拟卡)”可知，在第三段中，作者想告诉我们虚拟卡片在商业中越来越流行。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But Mr. Lim, who uses Sansan’s virtual cards, does not plan on throwing away the paper version just yet.(但使用Sansan的虚拟卡的Lim先生目前还不打算扔掉纸质版)”可知，Lim先生对纸质名片的态度是支持的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“In Asia, meetings do not begin until business cards have been exchanged. It is no mere formality.(在亚洲，一场会议开始前，人们总会互换名片。这不仅事关礼节)”，第二段中的“Yet the pandemic has put the business card on life support. (然而，新冠疫情已经让名片行业陷入了生命维持的困境)”以及第三段“Scanning the code with a phone camera will summon (召唤) the user’s digital business card. Some 4,300 companies have begun using Sansan’s virtual cards since they launched in June. (用手机摄像头扫描代码，就会召唤出用户的数字名片。自6月份推出三山虚拟卡以来，已有约4300家公司开始使用该虚拟卡) ”可知，名片在商业活动中很重要，但是因为疫情的原因，纸质名片的使用变得不现实，作为替代品的各类数字名片便应运而生。由此可知，Here is my QR code(这是我的数字名片)适合作本文最佳标题。故选A项。

That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her cellphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.
Mary saw the cellphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her cellphone.”Keith looked at the cellphone. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Keith had always wanted a cellphone. But his parents had told him, “You don’t need one. You can always use the house phone.” He stared at it for some minutes. Then, he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the cellphone.” Mary could not believe her ears. She only stared at her brother, “You can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it ”
After making the decision, Keith quickly got the cellphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly.
Once back home, Keith locked his room door with trembling (颤抖的) hands. Inside his room, he took out the piece of beauty. Oh, he liked it so much. He had his own cellphone. Soon, he was polishing it happily. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the cellphone. What will you tell our father about this He will ask you how you got the cellphone.” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary said, “Now you are lying too. Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest ”
Then, Mary saw a house phone number on the cover of the cellphone. “This is the girl’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her cellphone,” she was trying to talk some sense into him.

The next morning, after a long and restless night, he was determined to return the cellphone to the owner. After school, he told Mary, “I am going to phone the owner.”
Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner’s house phone. A girl answered the phone. Kevin asked, “Are you the owner of the cellphone I’m Keith. I have your cellphone. Can you come and get it ” The girl replied “Yes” excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, she was at the same cafe to meet Keith.

Christian Liden decided that he would not pick out a ring from a jeweler’s like most other people. He hatched an ambitious plan to create a personalized ring for his future wife, Desirae Clovis. Therefore, he made up his mind to go into the wild to find his own materials: the diamond, the gold and the accompanying jewels.
So, in May 2022, Liden told Clovis that he and Josh Tucker, his best friend, were heading out on a camp to Yellowstone. Instead, he and Tucker made for Crater of Diamonds State Park, Arkansas, which is set on a volcanic crater. The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and can keep them for free. Since its opening, only 1 in10,000 park visitors is lucky enough to find a diamond that weighs a carat or more. Still, he was up for the challenge.
On their way, Liden and Tucker stopped in Helena, Montana, to mine for accompanying jewels to add to the diamond they hoped to score. In Arkansas, the pair paid $10 each to get into the park and spent almost three days searching through the volcanic dirt.
On the third morning, Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands. “I was so excited that I started shaking.” he said, “It was oily and shiny, and we both just knew it was a Diamond.”
It was confirmed that Liden had found a 2.2-carat yellow diamond. Similarly-sized diamonds go for $2,500 to $20,000 per carat, depending on quality, color and cut. But the value wasn’t what was important to Liden.
When he pulled out the diamond and got on his knee upon his return, Clovis was amazed. “I knew that he was going to propose someday, she said, “but I certainly didn’t expect this.”

“Latte papa” is a term that refers to an attentive and attractive Swedish dad that can often be found with kids in coffee shops with prams (婴儿车) wearing designer clothes. Men with prams have become such a familiar sight since shared parental leave was first introduced in 1974 in Sweden.
In Malmo the papas often outnumber the mamas. I’ll find myself sitting cross legged next to a quite Swedish engineer, a biker, or a computer programmer as our children play with toys.
This type of stylish dad gained prominence in the 2010s. Through the family leave program, both parents receive a collective 480 days and the parents can choose who gets to use them. This has led to more dads staying home with the kids and has allowed more women to pursue their careers.
It’s around 6 p.m. and my daughter Eira is crying and I can’t work out what she wants. I try walking her around the kitchen for what seems like the 50th time today. I throw a fury toy at her, hoping it’ll comfort her. I’ve tried all objects that have fascinated in the past, but nothing works. When my wife Mia finally gets home, I hand the baby over and drop exhausted on to the sofa. I’m so tired that I’m in bed by nine, and sleep through until 5:30 a.m., when her coughing and crying wakes me to the next day of my six month.
It has only taken a few weeks of this for me to know what the majority of British fathers never find out. When I thought I was being sympathetic to my wife during her child leave, I wasn’t being nearly sympathetic enough. And when I thought I was being understanding, I didn’t understand a thing.
In Sweden, men’s painful discovery of how exhausting it is to look after a baby is believed to aid parental harmony. Swedes tend to see generous shared parental leave as good for the economy, since it prevents the nation’s investment in women’s education from going to waste.
8. “Latte papa” is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to ________.
A. comment on parental leave B. stress the importance of the policy
C. introduce the topic of parental leave D. support the author’s opinion
9. What does the underlined phrase “prominence” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Talent. B. Reputation. C. Career. D. Confidence.
10. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 and 5
A. The author is good at taking care of kids.
B. The author really enjoys attending to kids.
C. It is challenging for the author to look after kids.
D. The author’ wife is relaxed during her child leave.
11. According to Swedes, what is the advantage of parental leave
A. It helps boost the understanding between friends.
B. It leads to nation’s investment in women’s health.
C. It helps parents to be sympathetic to their kids.
D. It is beneficial for the economic development.
D
In Asia, meetings do not begin until business cards have been exchanged. It is no mere formality. If a new acquaintance fails to give a card to Glenn Lim of CEO Asia, a Singaporean company, “it makes me forget them,” he says.
Yet the pandemic has put the business card on life working is difficult when white-collar workers have fled to home offices, business lunches have been canceled and conferences have been held online. Orders for business cards from Vistaprint, a multinational printing company, decreased by 70% in late March and early. April and have yet to recover fully. Mr.Lim normally hands out about 200 cards a month. In the six months following Singapore’s lockdown in March, he assumes he received about five. “I’ve forgotten what business cards look like,” remarks a British banker based in Singapore.
But it is still helpful to know who is who at meetings, even when.they take place on panies are therefore reimagining the business card for the era of social distancing, Nagaya, a Japanese firm, prints them on face masks. After the launch of the “Meishi” mask, traffic to Nagaya’s website increased by 65,000%. Sansan, another Japanese firm, offers “virtual cards”. Users receive QR codes which they display as virtual backgrounds on video-conferencing apps. Scanning the code with a phone camera will summon (召唤) the user’s digital business card. Some 4,300 companies have begun using Sansan’s virtual cards since they launched in June.
But Mr. Lim, who uses Sansan’s virtual cards, does not plan on throwing away the paper version just yet. People tend to exchange virtual cards after meetings have started or as they end, forcing participants to ask who does what during the meeting itself.
“That’s sometimes a little bit rude,” he says. Many others in Singapore are evidently fond of paper cards, too. Sales at Express-Print, a printing company, have picked up in the past two months, as more people restart in-person meetings. Even Edward Senju, the head of Sansan’s operations in Squth-East Asia, still keeps in his wallet, “just in case”.

C. Wearing masks has brought profits to the company,
D. Science and technology is the foundation of business.
14. What is Mr Lim’s attitude towards paper business cards
