A 16-year-old girl from Changsha, Hunan province, successfully reached the top of Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, on Monday morning, becoming the youngest Chinese female to conquer (征服) the world’s highest top from the southern slope (坡).
Xu Zhuoyuan is a first-year high school student from Hunan province. On April 15, she left Changsha for Nepal. On April 21, she began her long walk from Lukla. On April 28, she arrived at the base camp and started her altitude adaptation training at once. At 10 pm Beijing time on May 14, Xu started walking from Camp 4 at an altitude of 7,950 meters on the southern slope of Qomolangma. After a punishing 10-hour climb, she successfully reached the summit.
Xu Zhuoyuan’s father, Xu Jianglei, was the first person from Hunan province to reach the top of Qomolangma. Xu Zhuoyuan has been exploring remote areas with him since she was very young. Despite her young age, Xu Zhuoyuan has already climbed five mountains over 5,000 meters in China. When she was 12 years old, she made a statement on Hunan TV saying, “I will climb Qomolangma.”
Four years later, she achieved her promise. Although Xu Zhuoyuan has rich climbing experience, she has been experiencing high-intensity professional training non-stop to conquer Qomolangma. Last year, she climbed Mount Muztagata, which stands 7,546 meters. “Human beings are small in the face of nature. We should respect nature and get closer to Qomolangma,” said Xu Zhuoyuan.
She brought the gloves her father used when he reached the top with her as a form of inheritance and to bear witness to her own dream coming true. After finishing her university studies, she hopes to continue climbing and achieve the “7+2” (7 tops plus the North and South Poles).
24. When did Xu Zhuoyuan arrive at the base camp
A. On April 15. B. On April 21. C. On April 28. D. On May 14.
25. Which word can best describe Xu Zhuoyuan

26. Why was Xu Jianglei mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To describe his achievements. B. To show his impact on his daughter.
C. To recognize his support for the girl. D. To stress girls should be taken good care of.
27. What’s the best title for the text
A. A Great Father Shocks the Whole World
B. Qomolangma Draws More and More People
C. 16-year-old Girl Tops World’s Highest Mountain
D. Father and Daughter Conquer the Highest Mountain

Although Xu Zhuoyuan has rich climbing experience, she has been experiencing high-intensity professional training non-stop to conquer Qomolangma.(四年后，她实现了自己的承诺。虽然徐卓媛有着丰富的登山经验，但为了征服珠峰，她一直在经历高强度的专业训练)”可推知，12岁的徐卓媛立志要攀登珠峰，经历了高强度的训练，四年后实现了自己的诺言，这说明她是一个意志坚定且勇敢的人。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Xu Zhuoyuan’s father, Xu Jianglei, was the first person from Hunan province to reach the top of Qomolangma. Xu Zhuoyuan has been exploring remote areas with him since she was very young.(徐卓媛的父亲徐江磊是湖南第一个登上珠穆朗玛峰的人。徐卓媛从小就和他一起探索偏远地区)”可推知，本段提到徐卓媛的父亲，是为了说明父亲对她的影响，故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A 16-year-old girl from Changsha, Hunan province, successfully reached the top of Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, on Monday morning, becoming the youngest Chinese female to conquer (征服) the world’s highest top from the southern slope (坡).(周一上午，一名来自湖南长沙的16岁女孩成功登顶珠穆朗玛峰，成为从南坡征服世界最高峰的最年轻的中国女性)”结合文章主要讲述长沙16岁的女孩徐卓媛成功登顶珠峰的故事。故C选项“16岁女孩登上世界最高山峰”最符合文章标题，故选C。

Move over soccer, basketball and football, there’s a new competition sweeping Australia. It’s competitive bird calling. Yes, bird calling!
Scores of kids in New South Wales are spending their spare time practicing for the Bournda Bird Olympics, an event that aims at young bird-callers against each other to see who can deliver the clearest, most enthusiastic and most accurate bird call. The principal of the Bournda Environmental Education Centre, Doug Reckord, encourages the kids to listen to bird calls on YouTube to prepare for the event. The children also work on identifying birds by their beaks, claws and calls.
Surprisingly, the Bournda Bird Olympics isn’t Australia’s first competition with competitive bird calling. The first competition took place in Sydney in 1912. It was supported by the Gould League of Bird Lovers, a foundation that encouraged children to bird watch and learn about birds.
Even back then, New South Wales was the country’s bird calling leader. Students from the New South Wales region had access to much more bird sounds than city kids. They won the Dawson Memorial Shield for best bird calling six times between 1953 and 1962. Today, New South Wales is bringing back the bird calls. Led by the Bournda Environmental Education Centre, the Bournda Bird Olympics renewed in 2018. The event now features former bird calling champion, Bruce Chapman, as the “celebrity” judge.
When showtime finally arrives, three judges at the Bournda Bird Olympics rate people taking part on their enthusiasm, accuracy and clearness. The players can earn a maximum of three points in each type. Some 45 children took part in the 2022 event. The most popular bird call to imitate (模仿) was the kookaburra’s unique laugh. But the winner that year came from a girl copying a king parrot. Her call sounded so accurate that a king parrot in the trees actually called back to her.
28. What’s Doug Reckord’s attitude to bird calling
A. Curious. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Objective.
29. What is Gould League of Bird Lovers
A. A project. B. A school club. C. A game. D. An organization.
30. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The basic rules of bird calling. B. The bright future of bird calling.
C. New South Wales’ participation. D. New South Wales’ training.
31. Why did a girl’s imitation win the 2022 event
A. It was true to life. B. It was the sweetest.
C. It was the most popular. D. It was full of enthusiasm.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了伯恩达鸟叫奥林匹克运动会的相关情况，并简要介绍了新南威尔士州参加比赛的情况。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The principal of the Bournda Environmental Education Centre, Doug Reckord, encourages the kids to listen to bird calls on YouTube to prepare for the event.( Bounda环境教育中心的校长Doug Reckord鼓励孩子们在YouTube上听鸟叫声，为活动做准备。)”推知，Doug Reckord对鸟叫比赛持积极的态度，故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It was supported by the Gould League of Bird Lovers, a foundation that encouraged children to bird watch and learn about birds. (它得到了古尔德鸟类爱好者联盟的支持，该基金会鼓励儿童观鸟和了解鸟类。)”可知，古尔德鸟类爱好者联盟是一个组织，故选D项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Even back then, New South Wales was the country’s bird calling leader.(即使在那时，新南威尔士州也是该国鸟类叫声的领导者)”、“They won the Dawson Memorial Shield for best bird calling six times between 1953 and 1962.(1953年至1962年间，他们六次获得道森纪念盾最佳鸟叫声奖)”以及“Today, New South Wales is bringing back the bird calls.(今天，新南威尔士州将鸟叫声带回赛场)”可知，本段主要讲的是新南威尔士州参与比赛的情况，故选C项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But the winner that year came from a girl copying a king parrot. Her call sounded so accurate that a king parrot in the trees actually called back to her.(但那年的冠军来自一个模仿国王鹦鹉的女孩。她的叫声听起来如此准确，以至于树上的一只鹦鹉居然回应她)”可知，2022年小女孩的模仿赢得比赛的原因是她的模仿与真实的鸟叫声太像了，以至于树上的一只鹦鹉句然回应她，故选A项。

Fabrizio Fidati who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago, had not experienced the feeling of temperature in his missing fingers until trials for a technology unlocked the cool of iced water and heat of a stove burner for him.
Eventually, the researchers hope it could lead to a more natural feeling of loved ones when he is wearing his prosthetic (义肢). With thermal electrodes( 热电极) placed on the skin of their remaining arm, amputees such as Fidati reported feeling hot or cold in their phantom(幻象) hand and fingers, as well as directly on the arm, according to the trials by the Swiss university EPFL.
The 59-year old Italian is among 27 amputees who took part in the trials, with 17 of them reporting a successful test. Those tested have also been able to differentiate between plastic, glass and copper，pointing to where they feel the feelings on images of a hand.
“By stimulating (刺激) specific parts of the remaining arm of the amputees, we could induce the sense of touch in the missing phantom hands,“ said Dr. Solaiman Shokur, a senior scientist at EPFL who co-led the study. “What they feel in this phantom hand is similar to what they feel on their undamaged hand.”
The technology, which has been tested for more than two years, does not need to be implanted. It can be worn on the skin and combined with a regular prosthetic.
Dr. Silvestro Micera, who co-led the study with Dr. Shokur, said they now wanted to test the device on a larger scale before combining it with other technologies to improve sense of touch in amputees. “We think that we could give people a better sense of embodiment of their hands and maybe even give them the possibility to feel their loved ones in a much more natural way,” Dr. Shokur added.
32. What happened to Fabrizio Fidati
A. He carried out an experiment. B. He was unable to sense iced water.
C. He accidentally lost his right hand. D. He encountered a traffic accident recently.
33. What does the underlined word“induce“ in paragraph 4 mean
A. Predict. B. Increase. C. Imagine. D. Cause.
34. What is Dr. Silvestro Micera’s plan for the near future
A. Perfecting the device. B. Cutting down on costs.
C. Employing more volunteers. D. Producing the device on a large scale.
35. Where is the text probably taken from
A. An educational speech. B. A news report.
C. A course brochure. D. A movie review.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道的是一项新的技术给戴上假肢的人带的喜讯，描述了该装置的原理以及其测试的情况。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago( Fabrizio Fidati在25年前的一次事故中失去了右手。)”可知，Fabrizio Fidati在25年前得一次意外中失去了右臂。故选C项。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“What they feel in this phantom hand is similar to what they feel on their undamaged hand.(他们在这只幻手上的感觉和他们在未受伤的手上的感觉很相似。)”可知，通过实验，这只幻手上的感觉与未受伤的手上的感觉是一样的，划线单词前的“By stimulating (刺激) specific parts of the remaining arm of the amputees(通过刺激截肢者剩余手臂的特定部位)”可知，通过刺激剩余手臂的特定部位，应该可以使在失去的手臂上产生感觉，由此可猜测，该单词的意思与“使产生”相近。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“Dr. Silvestro Micera, who co-led the study with Dr. Shokur, said they now wanted to test the device on a larger scale before combining it with other technologies to improve sense of touch in amputees.(与Dr. Shokur,博士共同领导这项研究的Dr. Silvestro Micera博士说，他们现在希望在将该设备与其他技术结合起来改善截肢者的触觉之前，对该设备进行更大规模的测试。)”可知，Dr. Silvestro Micera想在与其他技术联合前进行大量的测试，为了改善被截肢人的触感，由此可知，Dr. Silvestro Micera的近期计划是完善该设备。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago, had not experienced the feeling of temperature in his missing fingers until trials for a technology unlocked the cool of iced water and heat of a stove burner for him.( Fabrizio Fidati在25年前的一次事故中失去了右手，直到一项技术的试验为他解锁了冰水的凉爽和炉子的热量，他才体验到失去的手指的温度感。)”可知，本文以在一次事故中失去右手的Fabrizio Fidati在一项技术测试后，让他重新感受到了温度引出本文的主题，结合下文中描述的该装技术的原理及其测试的情况可知，本文介绍的是一项技术带给戴假肢者带来的喜讯，所以本文很可能是来自于一篇新闻报道。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。民意调查显示几乎四分之三的成年人在年轻时参加过体育运动，但只有四分之一的人成年后继续参加体育运动。体育运动不仅能帮助小孩健康成长，同时也能让成年人保持健康和幸福。
【56题详解】
考查时态。句意：最近，一项民意调查发现，尽管几乎四分之三的成年人在年轻时参加过体育运动，但只有四分之一的人成年后继续参加体育运动。分析句子结构可知，成年人小的时候应该是过去事实，应使用一般过去时，且从句中主语they（他们）是复数概念，空处应使用be动词过去式were。故填were。

【58题详解】
考查定语从句。事实上，近十分之九的初高中孩子参加体育运动的父母说，他们的孩子从体育运动中受益匪浅。分析句子结构可知，该句为定语从句，先行词parents（家长）指人，且从句中缺少定语，可使用关系代词whose在从句中作定语。故填whose。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意：事实上，近十分之九的初高中孩子参加体育运动的父母说，他们的孩子从体育运动中受益匪浅。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定短语a great deal，意为“很多”。故填a。
【60题详解】
考查代词。句意：而且，虽然大多数成年人自己不再参加体育运动，但大多数父母说，他们的孩子长大后很可能或有可能继续参加体育运动。分析句子结构可知，句中主语adults（成人）与宾语为同一对象时，应使用其反身代词。故填themselves。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意：四分之一的父母也希望自己的孩子成为职业运动员。分析句子结构可知，空处可使用形容词professional（职业的；专业的）在句中作定语修饰名词athletes（运动员）。故填professional。

【63题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：它们帮助儿童和成人保持合适的体重，教导接受和团队合作，并为生活在贫困中的儿童扩大机会。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语expand，空处应使用非谓语。children和live之间是逻辑上的主动关系，因此需使用现在分词，作后置定语，故填living。
【64题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：“这项调查表明，我们必须继续鼓励孩子们参加体育运动，但同样重要的是，我们必须找到让成年人参与体育运动的方法，以保持健康和幸福。”分析句子结构可知，此处陈述一般事实，且主语this poll为单数形式，空处应使用一般现在时。故填indicates。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
About a month ago, my husband and I found kindness in an unlikely place: standing in line at a Subway sandwich shop to pick up a quick dinner.
It was extremely busy on this particular night, and I noticed a dad behind us with his little girl, who looked to be around four. The man seemed as tired as my husband, but the little girl was cheerful and excited as she waited for her sandwich and cookie.
I watched as the man behind us got closer to the front of the line. He started to look worried. Right before we checked out, I heard the man say to the woman who had made his sandwiches that he was sorry to just leave his out because he didn’t have enough money to pay for them all. He looked very embarrassed. His little girl continued jumping around excitedly.
I quietly asked the cashier to add the man’s whole order to ours. I paid the $ 87.73, and we got out of there before the man behind us knew what had happened.
Like many others since COVID-19 hit, our family of five was living on one income. I was holding our debit card (借记卡) and knew that we only had $ 90.16 in our account. That was all we would have until payday three days later. But still, it felt great to be able to help that family, even though we would be out of money for a few days.
What happened next was amazing. My husband went back to that Subway the next week to pick up five sandwiches that I thought would cost $ 44.58. There was $ 47 in our account.
But it turned out that the dinner cost more than we had on the card. My husband told them to put his sandwich back because he couldn’t afford it. Then he paid for the four sandwiches and headed to our car.

The two men nodded at one another and went on their way.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As he opened the door, one of the female workers ran to him. When he was confusedly wondering what she was for, the worker handed him his sandwich. Without a word, she ran back into the store. With a grateful heart, he assumed that the lady had just given it to him. About two minutes later, he was getting ready to leave when he saw the same man and little girl from a week earlier. At that moment, my husband knew what had happened.
The two men nodded at one another and went on their way. Although they didn’t say a word to each other, gratitude took roots in their hearts. They made sure for the second time that they both left the store with dinner for their families. My husband told me what had happened on arriving home. I was touched and lost in thought. In a world where distance means safety, it’s refreshing and soul-lifting when someone does something kind for you, even if it’s only at a local Subway.

A 16-year-old girl from Changsha, Hunan province, successfully reached the top of Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, on Monday morning, becoming the youngest Chinese female to conquer (征服) the world’s highest top from the southern slope (坡).
Xu Zhuoyuan is a first-year high school student from Hunan province. On April 15, she left Changsha for Nepal. On April 21, she began her long walk from Lukla. On April 28, she arrived at the base camp and started her altitude adaptation training at once. At 10 pm Beijing time on May 14, Xu started walking from Camp 4 at an altitude of 7,950 meters on the southern slope of Qomolangma. After a punishing 10-hour climb, she successfully reached the summit.
Xu Zhuoyuan’s father, Xu Jianglei, was the first person from Hunan province to reach the top of Qomolangma. Xu Zhuoyuan has been exploring remote areas with him since she was very young. Despite her young age, Xu Zhuoyuan has already climbed five mountains over 5,000 meters in China. When she was 12 years old, she made a statement on Hunan TV saying, “I will climb Qomolangma.”
Four years later, she achieved her promise. Although Xu Zhuoyuan has rich climbing experience, she has been experiencing high-intensity professional training non-stop to conquer Qomolangma. Last year, she climbed Mount Muztagata, which stands 7,546 meters. “Human beings are small in the face of nature. We should respect nature and get closer to Qomolangma,” said Xu Zhuoyuan.
She brought the gloves her father used when he reached the top with her as a form of inheritance and to bear witness to her own dream coming true. After finishing her university studies, she hopes to continue climbing and achieve the “7+2” (7 tops plus the North and South Poles).

Move over soccer, basketball and football, there’s a new competition sweeping Australia. It’s competitive bird calling. Yes, bird calling!
Scores of kids in New South Wales are spending their spare time practicing for the Bournda Bird Olympics, an event that aims at young bird-callers against each other to see who can deliver the clearest, most enthusiastic and most accurate bird call. The principal of the Bournda Environmental Education Centre, Doug Reckord, encourages the kids to listen to bird calls on YouTube to prepare for the event. The children also work on identifying birds by their beaks, claws and calls.
Surprisingly, the Bournda Bird Olympics isn’t Australia’s first competition with competitive bird calling. The first competition took place in Sydney in 1912. It was supported by the Gould League of Bird Lovers, a foundation that encouraged children to bird watch and learn about birds.
Even back then, New South Wales was the country’s bird calling leader. Students from the New South Wales region had access to much more bird sounds than city kids. They won the Dawson Memorial Shield for best bird calling six times between 1953 and 1962. Today, New South Wales is bringing back the bird calls. Led by the Bournda Environmental Education Centre, the Bournda Bird Olympics renewed in 2018. The event now features former bird calling champion, Bruce Chapman, as the “celebrity” judge.
When showtime finally arrives, three judges at the Bournda Bird Olympics rate people taking part on their enthusiasm, accuracy and clearness. The players can earn a maximum of three points in each type. Some 45 children took part in the 2022 event. The most popular bird call to imitate (模仿) was the kookaburra’s unique laugh. But the winner that year came from a girl copying a king parrot. Her call sounded so accurate that a king parrot in the trees actually called back to her.
28. What’s Doug Reckord’s attitude to bird calling
A. Curious. B. Positive. C. Uncaring. D. Objective.
29. What is Gould League of Bird Lovers
A A project. B. A school club. C. A game. D. An organization.
30. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The basic rules of bird calling. B. The bright future of bird calling.
C. New South Wales’ participation. D. New South Wales’ training.
31 Why did a girl’s imitation win the 2022 event
A. It was true to life. B. It was the sweetest.
C. It was the most popular. D. It was full of enthusiasm.
D
Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago, had not experienced the feeling of temperature in his missing fingers until trials for a technology unlocked the cool of iced water and heat of a stove burner for him.
Eventually, the researchers hope it could lead to a more natural feeling of loved ones when he is wearing his prosthetic (义肢). With thermal electrodes( 热电极) placed on the skin of their remaining arm, amputees such as Fidati reported feeling hot or cold in their phantom(幻象) hand and fingers, as well as directly on the arm, according to the trials by the Swiss university EPFL.
The 59-year old Italian is among 27 amputees who took part in the trials, with 17 of them reporting a successful test. Those tested have also been able to differentiate between plastic, glass and copper，pointing to where they feel the feelings on images of a hand.
“By stimulating (刺激) specific parts of the remaining arm of the amputees, we could induce the sense of touch in the missing phantom hands,“ said Dr. Solaiman Shokur, a senior scientist at EPFL who co-led the study. “What they feel in this phantom hand is similar to what they feel on their undamaged hand.”
The technology, which has been tested for more than two years, does not need to be implanted. It can be worn on the skin and combined with a regular prosthetic.
Dr. Silvestro Micera, who co-led the study with Dr. Shokur, said they now wanted to test the device on a larger scale before combining it with other technologies to improve sense of touch in amputees. “We think that we could give people a better sense of embodiment of their hands and maybe even give them the possibility to feel their loved ones in a much more natural way,” Dr. Shokur added.
32 What happened to Fabrizio Fidati
A. He carried out an experiment. B. He was unable to sense iced water.
C. He accidentally lost his right hand. D. He encountered a traffic accident recently.
33. What does the underlined word“induce“ in paragraph 4 mean
A. Predict. B. Increase. C. Imagine. D. Cause.
34. What is Dr. Silvestro Micera’s plan for the near future
A. Perfecting the device. B. Cutting down on costs.
C. Employing more volunteers. D. Producing the device on a large scale.
35. Where is the text probably taken from
A. An educational speech. B. A news report.
C. A course brochure. D. A movie review.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
About a month ago, my husband and I found kindness in an unlikely place: standing in line at a Subway sandwich shop to pick up a quick dinner.
It was extremely busy on this particular night, and I noticed a dad behind us with his little girl, who looked to be around four. The man seemed as tired as my husband, but the little girl was cheerful and excited as she waited for her sandwich and cookie.
I watched as the man behind us got closer to the front of the line. He started to look worried. Right before we checked out, I heard the man say to the woman who had made his sandwiches that he was sorry to just leave his out because he didn’t have enough money to pay for them all. He looked very embarrassed. His little girl continued jumping around excitedly.
I quietly asked the cashier to add the man’s whole order to ours. I paid the $ 87.73, and we got out of there before the man behind us knew what had happened.
Like many others since COVID-19 hit, our family of five was living on one income. I was holding our debit card (借记卡) and knew that we only had $ 90.16 in our account. That was all we would have until payday three days later. But still, it felt great to be able to help that family, even though we would be out of money for a few days.
What happened next was amazing. My husband went back to that Subway the next week to pick up five sandwiches that I thought would cost $ 44.58. There was $ 47 in our account.
But it turned out that the dinner cost more than we had on the card. My husband told them to put his sandwich back because he couldn’t afford it. Then he paid for the four sandwiches and headed to our car.
