【原文】M: Have you ever wished that you could exchange your parents for new ones who wouldn’t force you to go to school, tidy your bedroom, do your homework or eat your vegetables Well, it might be time to go to The Parent Agency to get your dream parents.
In this book, a nine-year-old boy called Barry goes to The Parent Agency with a list of 10 reasons why he doesn’t like his parents; things like being really strict. He is given a 5-Day Parent Trial Package with 5 different sets of new parents, who each have to give him a 10th birthday party, so that he can decide which parents he wants to live with in future. He spends the next 5 days with the different dream parents and has a party with each of them.
However, when he cannot decide which parents he likes best, the story gets very interesting… I enjoy this book because it is full of imagination and the pictures add to the humor in the book. I think this book will appeal to girls and boys. If your teacher read it aloud, it would make the whole class laugh. I’d like to say, it’s worthwhile to read for anyone aged 7-11.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
A
It seems that we just can’t get enough of roller coasters. Today we look at some top amusement parks and the roller coasters which have helped make them famous.
Holiday World
It is a family park that resists the exciting atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features other parks can’t match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters, and the park’s family-friendly policy offers free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge.
Lake Compounce
Lake Compounce, one of America’s more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. As the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. Like many old-time parks, it witnessed the danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company gave its revival with new rides appealing to many new fans.
Knott’s Berry Farm
As one of America’s favourite theme parks, Knott’s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, GhostRider or the Xcelerator. GhostRider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something less exciting, go visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, steam trains and historic buildings-many transported from mining towns-Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past.
Islands of Adventure
In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions promising to set the heart racing. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control.
21. What is special about Holiday World
A. It provides free food. B. It owns the latest ride technology.
C. It belongs to an individual. D. It creates the exciting atmosphere.
22. Which park takes visitors back to earlier times
A. Holiday World. B. Lake Compounce.
C. Knott’s Berry Farm. D. Islands of Adventure.
23. Why does Islands of Adventure differ from Magic Kingdom
A. It is divided into different lands. B. It plays many famous movies.
C. It has more visitors waiting in line. D. It provides a very exciting experience.
【答案】21. C 22. C 23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了四个顶级的游乐园和让它们出名的过山车。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题Holiday World下的“Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features other parks can’t match.(它的罕见之处在于它是私人拥有的，而且它有许多其他公园无法比拟的特点)”可知，Holiday World的特别之处是它是私人拥有的。故选C项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题Knott’s Berry Farm下的“If you are after something less exciting, go visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, steam trains and historic buildings-many transported from mining towns-Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past.(如果你想要一些不那么刺激的东西，那就去诺特的中心——鬼城，看看19世纪80年代狂野西部的生活。这里有牛仔、蒸汽火车和历史悠久的建筑——其中许多都是从采矿城镇运来的——鬼城会让你重温一段过去)”可知，Knott’s Berry Farm能把游客带回更早的时代。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题Islands of Adventure下的“In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions promising to set the heart racing. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control.(按照华特迪士尼世界的风格，Islands of Adventure被划分为主题的“土地”。然而，与裹着糖衣的Magic Kingdom不同，IOA的特色景点承诺让人心跳加速。虽然蜘蛛侠很棒，但如果你没有经历过绿巨人疯狂而独特的上坡发射，你就不算真正活过。这种效果就像被困在一架失控的飞机里)”可知，Islands of Adventure提供了一种非常令人兴奋的体验，所以不同于Magic Kingdom。故选D项。
B
Located among the forests where eagles fly overhead, Jabal Sawda has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s best places for mountaineers. At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three metres shy of Jabal Ferwa.
For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far, they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.
Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a need for accuracy and love for mountaineering. “If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”
The twins’ love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012, after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.
24. What can we learn about Jabal Sawda
A. It’s Saudi Arabia’s best place. B. It’s better-known than Jabal Ferwa.
C. It’s Saudi Arabia’s highest peak D. It’s lower than Jabal Ferwa.
25. Why have the twins traveled to different countries in the past years
A. To write books about mountains. B. To rename the peaks of mountains.
C. To measure their highest mountain. D. To admire good views of the mountain.
26 What do Matthew’s words indicate about their work in paragraph 3
A. It satisfies their need for accuracy. B. It helps climbers choose their destination.
C. It makes them focus their efforts on life. D. It deepens their love for climbing.
27. What might the following paragraph talk about
A. The twins’ other goals in their life.
B. The twins’ achievements in finding peaks.
C. The twins’ influence on other mountaineers.
D. The twins’ experiences in other countries.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对双胞胎致力于测量各地的高山，以便后来的登山者能有准确的数据从而集中精力到达他们想要到达的山峰。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Located among the forests where eagles fly overhead, Jabal Sawda has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s best places for mountaineers. At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three metres shy of Jabal Ferwa.( Jabal Sawda位于鹰在头顶飞翔的森林中，长期以来一直是沙特阿拉伯最好的登山胜地之一。海拔2999米的Jabal Sawda峰一直被认为是沙特王国的最高峰，直到2018年，双胞胎登山者Matthew和Eric Gilbertson登上它，发现它比Jabal Ferwa低约3米。)”可知，Jabal Sawda比Jabal Ferwa低约3米。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“So far, they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast. (到目前为止，他们已经到达了100多个国家最高峰，最近在多哥、几内亚比绍和科特迪瓦发现了最高峰。)”以及第三段““If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”(Matthew说：“如果我们要尽一切努力去访问一个国家，参观最高的山峰，我们希望确保我们确实参观了最高的山峰。我们认为，对未来的登山者进行准确的调查是有帮助的，这样他们就可以集中精力到达他们想要到达的山峰。”)”可知，他们之所以在过去的几年里去了不同的国家是为了测量这些国家的最高山峰。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段““If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”(Matthew说：“如果我们要尽一切努力去访问一个国家，参观最高的山峰，我们希望确保我们确实参观了最高的山峰。我们认为，对未来的登山者进行准确的调查是有帮助的，这样他们就可以集中精力到达他们想要到达的山峰。”)”可知，他们的工作为未来的登山者提供了准确的数据，从而使这些登山者可以根据数据选择要攀登的山峰。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The twins’ love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012, after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.(这对双胞胎对登山的热爱始于他们小时候随家人去美国东南部的大烟山旅行。当他们还是麻省理工学院(MIT)的学生时，他们就开始尽可能多地爬山。2012年，在完成了登上美国每个州最高点的目标后，他们将注意力转向了世界其他地方。)”可推断，下一段会讲述这对双胞胎在其他国家的登山经历。故选D。
C
Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics（控制论）, put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.”
A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.
The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.
Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.
28 Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may .
A run out of human control
B. satisfy human’s real desires
C. command armies of killer robots
D. work faster than a mathematician
29. Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to .
A. prevent themselves from being destroyed
B. achieve their original goals independently
C. do anything successfully with given orders
D. beat humans in international chess matches
30. According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to .
A. help super intelligent machines work better
B. be secure against evil human beings
C. keep machines from being harmed
D. avoid robots’ affecting the world
31. What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines
A. It will disappear with the development of AI.
B. It will get worse with human interference.
C. It will be solved but with difficulty.
D. It will stay for a decade.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了人工智能，随着科技的发展，机器人可能会超出人类的控制，所以短文对人与机器人之间的关系进行了探讨。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want.可知人工智能可能会出现的真正问题是AI会非常擅长取得某个成就而不是我们真正想要的东西，也就是说AI可能会超出人的控制去做一些事情，故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence.可知，一台具有特定用途的机器还有另外一个特性，这个特性我们通常与生物联系在一起: 一种希望保持自身存在的愿望，也就是说，它具有有生命的物体的一种品质是因为它要保护自己不被破坏，继续存在下去，故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world.可知可以用防火墙来回答那些困难的问题但是却永远不要让他们影响这个真正的现实世界，故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy.可知作者认为解决人工智能机器的安全问题是可能的，但是并不容易，也就是很困难，故选C。
D
At a museum in Vietnam, Lena Bui’s film Where Birds Dance Their Last reflected on the beauty and vulnerability of Vietnamese feather farms after Bird Flu. During a festival in Rwanda, Ellen Reid’s audio experience Soundwalk was shared in a hopeful discussion about music, parks and mental health. These are a few of the things I have helped bring to life over the years, working at the intersection of scientific research, the arts and advocacy to support science in solving global health challenges.
Science is key to addressing these issues. But it isn’t the only key. To achieve its potential and for its advances to be implemented and reach all who could benefit, science depends on trust and good relationships. People might not always see science as relevant, trustworthy or meaningful to their lives. There are reasons why some see science as having a chequered past, from nuclear weapons to eugenics, and are therefore uninterested in, or suspicious of, what it proposes. Others feel excluded by the incomprehensibility of hyper specialist knowledge.
In its capacity to build upon and test an evidence base, science is powerful, but researchers and funders haven’t been as good at ensuring this evidence base responds to the needs and interests of diverse communities, or informs policy makers to take action. Science might be perceived as distancing itself from the personal, the poetic and the political, yet it is precisely these qualities that can be most influential when it comes to public interest in atopic or how a government prioritizes a decision.
A moving story well told can be more memorable than a list of facts. This is where the arts come in. Artists can give us different perspectives with which to consider and reimagine the world together. They can redress the proclaimed objectivity in science by bringing stories —subjectivities —into the picture, and these can help foster a sense of connection and hope.
In 2012, I set up artist residencies in medical research centres around the world. Bui was attached to the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam. The head of the research team was delighted, finding that Bui, as a Vietnamese artist, had license to be in, and to share useful insights from, villages where infectious disease researchers weren’t welcome. Six years later, I led Wellcome’s Contagious Cities program, which established artist residencies worldwide to support locally led explorations of epidemic preparedness. The recent pandemic made this work more noticeable, and has informed our Mindscapes program which is currently sharing experiences of mental health through the work of artists.
With pandemic, climate and mental health crises upon us, rising inequality and what feels like an increasingly broken world, never has there been more need to build and nurture hopeful and imaginative spaces to grow human connection and shared purpose for the common good. Science and the arts can work hand in glove to achieve this.
32. The author lists two works in Paragraph 1 mainly to ______.
A. reveal the gap between science and art B. prove his competence in both science and art
C. introduce successful science-related artworks D. show that science can be promoted in art forms
33. What does the underlined word “chequered” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Recent and remote. B. Good and bad.
C. Usual and unusual. D. Peaceful and scary.
34. Which of the following would the author agree
A. Policy-makers base their decisions on science. B. Researchers popularize science effectively.
C. Science is well received among the public. D. The arts help people build connections.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. The Value of the Arts to Science B. Where Do Science and the Arts Meet
C. A New Way to Fight Pandemic—the Arts D. Which Matters More, Science or the Arts
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了作者认为科学可以与艺术相结合，并通过列举事实证明了这一点。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“At a museum in Vietnam, Lena Bui’s film Where Birds Dance Their Last reflected on the beauty and vulnerability of Vietnamese feather farms after Bird Flu. During a festival in Rwanda, Ellen Reid’s audio experience Soundwalk was shared in a hopeful discussion about music, parks and mental health. These are a few of the things I have helped bring to life over the years, working at the intersection of scientific research, the arts and advocacy to support science in solving global health challenges.(在越南的一家博物馆，Lena Bui的电影《Where Birds dancing Their Last》反映了禽流感后越南羽毛农场的美丽和脆弱。在卢旺达的一个节日期间，Ellen Reid在一场关于音乐、公园和心理健康的充满希望的讨论中分享了她的音频体验Soundwalk。这些是我多年来帮助实现的一些事情，在科学研究、艺术和倡导的交叉领域工作，以支持科学解决全球健康挑战)”可推知，作者在第1段列出了两部作品，主要是为了说明科学可以以艺术形式得到推广。故选D。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“People might not always see science as relevant, trustworthy or meaningful to their lives.(人们可能并不总是认为科学与他们的生活相关、值得信赖或有意义)”以及画线词后文“from nuclear weapons to eugenics, and are therefore uninterested in, or suspicious of, what it proposes”可知，人们可能并不总是认为科学与他们的生活相关、值得信赖或有意义，所以有些人认为科学的过去有好有坏，从核武器到优生学，因此对科学提出的东西不感兴趣或怀疑是有原因的。故画线词意思是“有好有坏”。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Artists can give us different perspectives with which to consider and reimagine the world together. They can redress the proclaimed objectivity in science by bringing stories — subjectivities — into the picture, and these can help foster a sense of connection and hope.(艺术家可以给我们提供不同的视角，让我们一起思考和重新想象这个世界。他们可以通过将故事（主观性）带入画面来纠正科学中所宣称的客观性，这有助于培养一种联系感和希望感)”可推知，作者认同艺术帮助人们建立联系。故选D。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
When you’re meeting someone new, concentrate your full attention on him. ___36___ Instead, look the person in the eye, shake hands, and listen carefully to his whole name as it’s said.
Ask
Speak the name back to the person in the form of a question. “Hi, I’m Katherine. I’m sorry, did you say Don or Dom ” Or “Robert, is it Nice to meet you. I’m Katherine.” ___37___ Thus, by repeating the name this way, you’re increasing your chances of remembering it. To up the odds even more, try working in another question if possible: “Are you Stephen with a ‘ph’ or a ‘v’ ” “Ty...Is that short for Tyler ”
Associate
___38___ If your new acquaintance goes by Bill, make quick mental associations with famous people named Bill, relatives named Bill, or any other kind of bill. Creating mental connections and supporting them with a statement said aloud further cements the name in your memory.
Employ
After repeating the name and then commenting on it, use it once or twice more in conversation. Do this either by addressing the person directly or referring to him while speaking to someone else (“Hey, Jim! Bill and I were just talking about that new Brad Pitt movie!”) ___39___ Be careful not to overuse the name, though, since that can come off as awkward or insincere.
Using a person’s name is a key to opening doors for you and to maintaining an initial rapport(和谐的关系) that could make this person a new friend for life or a lifelong business partner. ___40___
A. You can write down the name when it is necessary.
B. When the conversation ends, use the person’s name again.
C. The brain responds more actively when a question is answered.
D. Whenever you are introduced to someone, keep your mind on it.
E. Don’t race ahead in your mind to come up with something to say.
F. Next, tell yourself something about the name to ensure that it sticks.
G. Make the decision to start remembering people’s names from today!
【答案】36. E 37. C 38. F 39. B 40. G

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种帮助人记住对方名字的方法和策略。
【36题详解】
根据后文“Instead, look the person in the eye, shake hands, and listen carefully to his whole name as it’s said.(相反，看着这个人的眼睛，与他握手，认真地听他说他的全名。)”可知，后文提到要认真听对方介绍他的名字，且根据Instead可知，此空应与空后形成对比，故E项“不要马上思考应该说些什么。”符合，不要马上思考应该要说些什么，而是要看着这个人的眼睛，认真听他介绍他的名字，故选E项。
【37题详解】
根据本段小标题“Ask(询问)”可知，本段主要介绍通过“询问”的方式来记住对方的名字，且根据空前“Speak the name back to the person in the form of a question. “Hi, I’m Katherine. I’m sorry, did you say Don or Dom ” Or “Robert, is it Nice to meet you. I’m Katherine.” (以提问的方式把名字说给对方听。“嗨，我是Katherine，不好意思，你说的是Don还是Dom ”或者“是Robert吗？很高兴见到你，我是Katherine。”)”可知，空前通过举例的方式，具体介绍了如何通过问问题的方式将名字说给对方听，故C项“当一个问题得到回答时，大脑的反应会更加活跃”符合，此空提出原因，当问题得到回答时，大脑的反应更加活跃，从而记得更牢，故选C项。
【38题详解】
根据本段小标题“Associate (联想)”可知，本段主要介绍另一个方法——通过联想的方式来记住对方的名字。故F项“接下来，告诉自己一些关于这个名字的事情，以确保它能被记住。”符合，位于本段首句，且与上一段构成递进的关系，故选F项。
【39题详解】
根据本段小标题“Employ(运用)”可知，本段主要介绍通过运用的方法来记住名字。且根据空后“Be careful not to overuse the name, though, since that can come off as awkward or insincere.(但是要注意，不要过度使用这个名字，因为这可能会让人觉得尴尬或者不真诚。)”可知，空后是B项“对话结束时，再次使用这个名字。”的顺义承接，对话结束时，再次使用这个名词，但要注意的是，不要过度使用，以免引起不必要的尴尬，故选B项。
【40题详解】
根据空前“Using a person’s name is a key to opening doors for you and to maintaining an initial rapport(和谐的关系) that could make this person a new friend for life or a lifelong business partner.(使用一个人的名字是为你打开大门和保持最初融洽关系的关键，这可能会让这个人成为你的新朋友或者终生的商业伙伴。)”可知，最后一段对前文做出总结，说明了记住一个人的名字的好处，故G项“从今天开始，下定决心，记住人们的名字吧。”符合，放在文章末尾，呼吁大家行动起来，记住他人的名字，故选G项。

【56题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：在她的榜样下，十个人排成两排，穿着同样的功夫风格的衣服，做出同样的动作。本句是who引导的定语从句，wear作从句谓语，根据前文的were可知，用一般过去时。故填wore。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意：24岁的李是北京航空航天大学的博士生，但她在校园里更广为人知的身份是武术大师。根据前后文句意可知，两句间是转折关系，用but连接。故填but。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态。尽管忙于研究和课业，李说，在过去的五年里，练习武术已经成为她的日常生活。分析句子结构可知，become作本句谓语，根据时间状语over the past five years可知，用现在完成时，主语是practicing martial arts，动名词作主语，谓语动词用单数。故填has become。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意：她学习了各种武术风格，包括拳击、剑术和棍棒，并在几次跨校园武术比赛中获胜，获得了广泛的认可。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，vary的形容词形式是various。故填various。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：她学习了各种武术风格，包括拳击、剑术和棍棒，并在几次跨校园武术比赛中获胜，获得了广泛的认可。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是competitions，从句缺少地点状语，用where引导。故填where。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：就读于北京航空航天大学电子信息工程专业的Gao Xiaoya表示，她从这项运动中获得了内心的平静和力量。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词，所以major用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语Gao Xiaoya之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填majoring。
【62题详解】
考查名词。考查非谓语动词。句意：就读于北京航空航天大学电子信息工程专业的Gao Xiaoya表示，她从这项运动中获得了内心的平静和力量。分析句子结构可知，空处和前文的peace并列，应填名词作宾语，strong的名词形式是strength。故填strength。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意：高是许多年轻人中的一员，他们最初被武术吸引是为了保持健康，但随着练习的增多，他们的热情也越来越高。空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词性物主代词作定语。故填their。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国社会科学院社会学研究所助理研究员宋宇表示：“互联网和社交媒体的快速发展也促进了关于中国传统文化的交流，使年轻人更容易接触到稀有的艺术形式。”此处是固定搭配：enable sb. to do sth.意为“使某人能够做某事”。故填to have。

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。
Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面 )”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it ” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look.
Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around the garden, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter lingering around the classroom.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1. Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2. But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner. She kept her head down with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual. It hit Catherine that the pecking order worked in school, too. Landy was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height. “It’s time for me to make an apology to Landy.” Catherine thought to herself. No sooner had she made up her mind than she announced it to the cool kids surrounding her. Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming, “Talking to the long spaghetti Are you crazy ”
But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said. “Hi, Landy. I’m sorry about the spaghetti thing.” Catherine murmured an apology, her face reddening. “I know it hurts you. Can you forgive us ” She figured Landy might just walk away. But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes. Catherine wiped away her tears, giving her a warm hug. Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy. From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also gained an important life lesson that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Catherine一开始在班上看到同学取笑自己的同桌Landy时，没什么反应。但后来去爷爷家过感恩节，看到一只小鸡由于与其他鸡不同而被啄，联想到了自己的同桌，后来带领班上同学向同桌Landy道歉的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“这时凯瑟琳看见兰蒂独自坐在一个角落里。”可知，第一段可描写Catherine注意到同桌Landy一个人坐在角落里时的反应。
②由第二段首句内容“但是凯瑟琳不管他们说什么，直接向兰迪走去。”可知，第二段可描写Catherine带着同学向Landy道歉后，Landy与其他同学的反应。
2. 续写线索：注意到Landy——联想到Landy的处境——决定道歉——道歉——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①低着头：keep her head down/put her head down
②盯着地板：fixed on the floor/focused on the floor
③取笑：tease/laugh at

It seems that we just can’t get enough of roller coasters. Today we look at some top amusement parks and the roller coasters which have helped make them famous.
Holiday World
It is a family park that resists the exciting atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features other parks can’t match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters, and the park’s family-friendly policy offers free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge.
Lake Compounce
Lake Compounce, one of America’s more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. As the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. Like many old-time parks, it witnessed the danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company gave its revival with new rides appealing to many new fans.
Knott’s Berry Farm
As one of America’s favourite theme parks, Knott’s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, GhostRider or the Xcelerator. GhostRider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something less exciting, go visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, steam trains and historic buildings-many transported from mining towns-Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past.
Islands of Adventure
In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions promising to set the heart racing. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control.

A. It provides free food. B. It owns the latest ride technology.
C. It belongs to an individual. D. It creates the exciting atmosphere.
22. Which park takes visitors back to earlier times
A. Holiday World. B. Lake Compounce.
C. Knott’s Berry Farm. D. Islands of Adventure.
23. Why does Islands of Adventure differ from Magic Kingdom
A. It is divided into different lands. B. It plays many famous movies.
C. It has more visitors waiting in line. D. It provides a very exciting experience.

Located among the forests where eagles fly overhead, Jabal Sawda has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s best places for mountaineers. At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three metres shy of Jabal Ferwa.
For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far, they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.
Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a need for accuracy and love for mountaineering. “If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”
The twins’ love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012, after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.
24. What can we learn about Jabal Sawda
A. It’s Saudi Arabia’s best place. B. It’s better-known than Jabal Ferwa.
C. It’s Saudi Arabia’s highest peak D. It’s lower than Jabal Ferwa.
25. Why have the twins traveled to different countries in the past years
A. To write books about mountains. B. To rename the peaks of mountains.
C. To measure their highest mountain. D. To admire good views of the mountain.
26. What do Matthew’s words indicate about their work in paragraph 3
A. It satisfies their need for accuracy. B. It helps climbers choose their destination.
C. It makes them focus their efforts on life. D. It deepens their love for climbing.
27. What might the following paragraph talk about
A. The twins’ other goals in their life.
B. The twins’ achievements in finding peaks.
C. The twins’ influence on other mountaineers.
D. The twins’ experiences in other countries.
C
Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics（控制论）, put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.”
A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.
The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.
Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.
28. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may .
A. run out of human control
B. satisfy human’s real desires
C. command armies of killer robots
D. work faster than a mathematician
29. Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to .
A. prevent themselves from being destroyed
B. achieve their original goals independently
C. do anything successfully with given orders
D. beat humans in international chess matches
30. According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to .
A. help super intelligent machines work better
B. be secure against evil human beings
C. keep machines from being harmed
D. avoid robots’ affecting the world
31. What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines
A. It will disappear with the development of AI.
B. It will get worse with human interference.
C. It will be solved but with difficulty.
D. It will stay for a decade.

At a museum in Vietnam, Lena Bui’s film Where Birds Dance Their Last reflected on the beauty and vulnerability of Vietnamese feather farms after Bird Flu. During a festival in Rwanda, Ellen Reid’s audio experience Soundwalk was shared in a hopeful discussion about music, parks and mental health. These are a few of the things I have helped bring to life over the years, working at the intersection of scientific research, the arts and advocacy to support science in solving global health challenges.
Science is key to addressing these issues. But it isn’t the only key. To achieve its potential and for its advances to be implemented and reach all who could benefit, science depends on trust and good relationships. People might not always see science as relevant, trustworthy or meaningful to their lives. There are reasons why some see science as having a chequered past, from nuclear weapons to eugenics, and are therefore uninterested in, or suspicious of, what it proposes. Others feel excluded by the incomprehensibility of hyper specialist knowledge.
In its capacity to build upon and test an evidence base, science is powerful, but researchers and funders haven’t been as good at ensuring this evidence base responds to the needs and interests of diverse communities, or informs policy makers to take action. Science might be perceived as distancing itself from the personal, the poetic and the political, yet it is precisely these qualities that can be most influential when it comes to public interest in atopic or how a government prioritizes a decision.
A moving story well told can be more memorable than a list of facts. This is where the arts come in. Artists can give us different perspectives with which to consider and reimagine the world together. They can redress the proclaimed objectivity in science by bringing stories —subjectivities —into the picture, and these can help foster a sense of connection and hope.
In 2012, I set up artist residencies in medical research centres around the world. Bui was attached to the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam. The head of the research team was delighted, finding that Bui, as a Vietnamese artist, had license to be in, and to share useful insights from, villages where infectious disease researchers weren’t welcome. Six years later, I led Wellcome’s Contagious Cities program, which established artist residencies worldwide to support locally led explorations of epidemic preparedness. The recent pandemic made this work more noticeable, and has informed our Mindscapes program which is currently sharing experiences of mental health through the work of artists.
With pandemic, climate and mental health crises upon us, rising inequality and what feels like an increasingly broken world, never has there been more need to build and nurture hopeful and imaginative spaces to grow human connection and shared purpose for the common good. Science and the arts can work hand in glove to achieve this.
32. The author lists two works in Paragraph 1 mainly to ______.
A. reveal the gap between science and art B. prove his competence in both science and art
C. introduce successful science-related artworks D. show that science can be promoted in art forms
33. What does the underlined word “chequered” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Recent and remote. B. Good and bad.
C. Usual and unusual. D. Peaceful and scary.
34. Which of the following would the author agree
A. Policy-makers base their decisions on science. B. Researchers popularize science effectively.
C. Science is well received among the public. D. The arts help people build connections.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. The Value of the Arts to Science B. Where Do Science and the Arts Meet
C. A New Way to Fight Pandemic—the Arts D. Which Matters More, Science or the Arts

When you’re meeting someone new, concentrate your full attention on him. ___36___ Instead, look the person in the eye, shake hands, and listen carefully to his whole name as it’s said.
Ask
Speak the name back to the person in the form of a question. “Hi, I’m Katherine. I’m sorry, did you say Don or Dom ” Or “Robert, is it Nice to meet you. I’m Katherine.” ___37___ Thus, by repeating the name this way, you’re increasing your chances of remembering it. To up the odds even more, try working in another question if possible: “Are you Stephen with a ‘ph’ or a ‘v’ ” “Ty...Is that short for Tyler ”
Associate
___38___ If your new acquaintance goes by Bill, make quick mental associations with famous people named Bill, relatives named Bill, or any other kind of bill. Creating mental connections and supporting them with a statement said aloud further cements the name in your memory.
Employ
After repeating the name and then commenting on it use it once or twice more in conversation. Do this either by addressing the person directly or referring to him while speaking to someone else (“Hey, Jim! Bill and I were just talking about that new Brad Pitt movie!”) ___39___ Be careful not to overuse the name, though, since that can come off as awkward or insincere.

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。
Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面 )”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it ” She asked her grandfather with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look.
Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around the garden, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter lingering around the classroom.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1. Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2. But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said.
