According to Guo, her parents didn’t know she was coming to Wuhan. “I wasn’t sure if I should come as I didn’t know how difficult the situation was. I thought about it and decided to come. I have a sister. She is in college. My parents are healthy. If you overthink it, it becomes more difficult. But if you let it go, it’s much easier,” Guo said.
Behind the reports, there are still many unknown women workers. Among them, some businesswomen have spared no expense (不惜一切代价) in the production of protective equipment (设备) at the fastest speed for fighting against the epidemic. There are also women who are active in communities and on the streets, working hard for people. There are also policewomen, women reporters and drivers.
According to a survey, in Shanghai, half of the doctors on the front line of the fight against the outbreak are women and more than 90 percent of nurses are women. Women medical workers are heroes. They are soldiers who should not be neglected in the fight against the epidemic.

To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read a wide variety of English books. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the right books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.
My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen makes sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too hard for me at that time. My enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway’s novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward (简洁的) style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones.
However, if you limit yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell’s work. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion— essays are necessary.
Never follow others’ suggestions and opinions blindly, however famous or influential (有很大影响的) the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.
28. What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand
A. Complicated conversations. B. Sentences and Austen’s thinking style.
C. The old-fashioned vocabulary. D. Not knowing the social background.
29 Which word tan best describe the author’s first English novel reading experience
A. Terrible B. Challenging C. Enjoyable D. Inspirational
30. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph
A. Choose books that challenge us most. B. Read books that are instructive.
C. Don’t be affected by others’ ideas. D. Compare books before buying
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. Give comments on literature works. B. Tell beginners how to choose English books.
C. Encourage people to read more English books D. Recommend first class books to English learners.
D
Tomatoes are common in daily life. Cathie Martin, a British scientist, has been working on developing purple tomatoes for years. Though the color is unusual, now this special kind of tomatoes, which has gained approval from the US government, has very high levels of antioxidants(抗氧化剂).
Antioxidants, also known as AOS, are found naturally in plants like blueberries and red cabbage. Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. But tomatoes naturally only have a small amount of AOS in them. Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of AOS by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.
A plant developed from specially created DNA is known as a GMO. After adding two genes(基因) from a plant called snapdragon, Martin soon found her plants were producing small purple tomatoes with lots of AOS. Martin and other scientists further tested the tomatoes on mice that were likely to get cancer. The mice that were fed the purple tomatoes lived about 30% longer than those fed normal tomatoes. Though that’s good news, experiments on mice don’t always predict what effects on humans will be like. We need to see more experiments about it.
GMOs were first allowed in America in the late 1990s. But GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t natural or safe. There’re still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment. However, scientists deny these claims.
Even so, many people still have concerns about them. Because of these concerns, most GMO products created over the last 20 years have focused on helping farmers rather than attracting customers.
Anyway, on September 7, 2022, the US approved the purple tomatoes, which is the first time it has approved a GMO plant designed to target human health.
32. What makes purple tomatoes really special
A. Their medical value. B. Their delicious flavor.
C. Their proper size. D. Their pleasant color.
33. What’s the author’s attitude to the test on the mice
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Opposed.
34. What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. The environment affects GMO foods.
B. The customers do not like GMO foods.
C. GMO products are used to help farmers.
D. Scientists think GMO products are safe.
35. What’s mainly talked about in the text
A. Different DNA can benefit plant growth.
B. Tomatoes with changed DNA are approved.
C. Scientists are changing DNA of crops.
D. Human health depends on changed DNA.

Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes ... but I don’t have money on me ...”she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!”said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared with a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled and said, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did l not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read a wide variety of English books. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the right books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.
My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen makes sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too hard for me at that time. My enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway’s novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward (简洁的) style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones.
However, if you limit yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell’s work. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion— essays are necessary.
Never follow others’ suggestions and opinions blindly, however famous or influential (有很大影响的) the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.
28. What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand
A. Complicated conversations. B. Sentences and Austen’s thinking style.
C. The old-fashioned vocabulary. D. Not knowing the social background.
29. Which word tan best describe the author’s first English novel reading experience
A. Terrible B. Challenging C. Enjoyable D. Inspirational
30. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph
A. Choose books that challenge us most. B. Read books that are instructive.
C. Don’t be affected by others’ ideas. D. Compare books before buying
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. Give comments on literature works. B. Tell beginners how to choose English books.
C. Encourage people to read more English books D. Recommend first class books to English learners.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何选择适合自己的英文读物, 作者给出了自己的建议。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen makes sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too hard for me at that time.(困扰我的不是那些词汇，而是奥斯汀造句的方式，以及她的思维方式，这在当时对我来说似乎太难了)”可知，作者的第一本英文读物《傲慢与偏见》的句子结构和作者简·奥斯汀的思维方式使作者很难读懂这本书。故选B。
【29题详解】

But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it.(我的第一本英文小说是简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》，许多英语老师和教授都推荐它为英语学习者的理想读物。但我的经历有些灾难性。我很难理解这部小说，更不用说欣赏它了)”可知，“糟糕可怕”最能描述作者第一次读英语小说的经历。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Never follow others’ suggestions and opinions blindly, however famous or influential (有很大影响的) the person might be.

As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison.(永远不要盲目听从别人的建议和意见，不管这个人多么有名或有影响力。我们应该对各种各样的想法持开放态度，但总是为自己思考和决定。俗话说，一个人的美味是另一个人的毒药)”可知，作者在最后一段建议我们要自己做决定，不要盲目听从别人的建议，不要受别人选择的影响。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read a wide variety of English books.(要培养一个人的英语品味，最有效的方法是阅读各种各样的英语书籍)”以及“As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience. (作为一个土生土长的西班牙人, 我想分享一些我的经验)”可推知，本文作者主要就如何选择适合自己的英文读物来读，给出了自己的建议。故选B。
D
Tomatoes are common in daily life. Cathie Martin, a British scientist, has been working on developing purple tomatoes for years. Though the color is unusual, now this special kind of tomatoes, which has gained approval from the US government, has very high levels of antioxidants(抗氧化剂).
Antioxidants, also known as AOS, are found naturally in plants like blueberries and red cabbage. Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. But tomatoes naturally only have a small amount of AOS in them. Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of AOS by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.
A plant developed from specially created DNA is known as a GMO. After adding two genes(基因) from a plant called snapdragon, Martin soon found her plants were producing small purple tomatoes with lots of AOS. Martin and other scientists further tested the tomatoes on mice that were likely to get cancer. The mice that were fed the purple tomatoes lived about 30% longer than those fed normal tomatoes. Though that’s good news, experiments on mice don’t always predict what effects on humans will be like. We need to see more experiments about it.
GMOs were first allowed in America in the late 1990s. But GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t natural or safe. There’re still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment. However, scientists deny these claims.
Even so, many people still have concerns about them. Because of these concerns, most GMO products created over the last 20 years have focused on helping farmers rather than attracting customers.
Anyway, on September 7, 2022, the US approved the purple tomatoes, which is the first time it has approved a GMO plant designed to target human health.
32. What makes purple tomatoes really special
A. Their medical value. B. Their delicious flavor.
C. Their proper size. D. Their pleasant color.
33. What’s the author’s attitude to the test on the mice
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Opposed.
34. What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. The environment affects GMO foods.
B. The customers do not like GMO foods.
C. GMO products are used to help farmers.
D. Scientists think GMO products are safe.
35. What’s mainly talked about in the text
A. Different DNA can benefit plant growth.
B. Tomatoes with changed DNA are approved.
C. Scientists are changing DNA of crops.
D. Human health depends on changed DNA.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文属于说明文。一种新的紫色番茄在美国获得批准种植和销售。科学家通过改变这种番茄的DNA,增加了它们的抗氧化剂，使这种番茄可以保存更久，并有助于人们的健康。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Though the color is unusual, now this special kind of tomatoes, which has gained approval from the US government, has very high levels of antioxidants(抗氧化剂).(虽然颜色不同寻常，但现在这种特殊的西红柿已经获得了美国政府的批准，它含有很高的抗氧化剂)”以及第二段中“Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. (科学家认为，AOS可能有助于预防心脏病，并有助于对抗糖尿病等疾病。)”可知，紫色番茄中含有抗氧化剂，抗氧化剂能够有助于对抗糖尿病等疾病。故紫色番茄的特殊之处在于它的医用价值。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Though that’s good news, experiments on mice don’t always predict what effects on humans will be the same. We need to see more experiments about it.”（虽然这是个好消息，但在老鼠身上进行的实验并不总是能预测对人类的影响是一样的。我们需要看到更多关于它的实验。）可知，作者对此实验目前心存怀疑。故选B。
34题详解】
词义猜测题。第四段提到“But GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t natural or safe. There’re still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment. However, scientists deny these claims.（转基因产品并不受消费者欢迎，许多人被这些食物不天然或不安全的想法吓到了。转基因作物对环境的影响也仍然受到质疑。然而，科学家们否认了这些说法。）”再结合该词后面的“many people have concerns about them（很多人还是很担心这个问题）”，可推知这里指的是：即使科学家认为转基因食物是安全的，但是很多人对此仍然很担心，故划线词so指代的是前文的科学家们对转基因食物是会对环境造成影响的，以及转基因食物是不天然或者不安全的说法进行了否定，即科学家认为转基因产品是安全的。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段讲述了转基因西红柿相较普通西红柿的优势；第二段提到科学家马丁通过改变番茄基因，让番茄含有大量的抗氧化剂，第三段提到马丁通过实验证明了这种番茄保质期更长。后面几段提到，虽然公众对转基因产品仍持怀疑态度，但这种番茄在美国最终还是获得了批准种植和销售。标题“Tomatoes with changed DNA are approved.（转基因西红柿批准上市）”符合文意，故选B。

【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文作者主要针对中学生带手机进校园这一现象，阐述了自己及其他一些学生的不同看法。作者认为手机是日常生活中一个有用的工具，但这并不意味着可以在学校里自由使用。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我对关于中学生使用手机的报道感兴趣。在系动词feel之后作表语，用来说明主语“我”的感受应用-ed结尾形容词，作表语。故填interested。
【57题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：人们对这一现象有不同的看法。由空前different可知，此处应为名词复数形式。故填opinions。
【58题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：一些人认为用手机和别人联系很方便，这也让你感到安全，尤其是在麻烦时候。此处为固定句型：it be+adj. +to do sth.“做某事是……的”，it 为形式主语，动词不定式是真正的主语。故填to get。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意：此外，享受不同手机的各种功能是很好的。由空后cell phones为名词短语可知，此处为形容词作定语修饰该名词短语。故填different。
60题详解】
考查代词。句意：然而，其他人则不这么认为。根据上文“Some think…”可知，此处指其他人的看法，作主语表示“其他人”应用代词others。故填others。
61题详解】
考查连词。句意：首先，手机在学校不是必须的，因为那里有一些公共IC电话，很容易打电话给别人。分析句子可可知，此处为连词because/as/since表示“因为”引导的原因状语从句，满足句意要求。故填because/as/since。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：首先，手机在学校不是必须的，因为那里有一些公共IC电话，很容易打电话给别人。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，make和逻辑主语为前面整句话为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填making。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：其次，许多学生经常用手机玩电子游戏和发送电子信息，甚至在课堂上，这肯定会对他们的学习产生不良影响。分析句子可知，此处为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整句话在从句中作主语成分。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：更重要的是，它会导致大量的时间和金钱的浪费。结合语境和上文“ 64 will surely have bad effects on their study.”可知，此处描述将来发生的事情，应用一般将来时。故填will result。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意：但这并不意味着我们可以在学校自由使用它。由副词修饰动词可知，此处为副词freely作状语修饰动词use。故填freely。

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.
Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes ... but I don’t have money on me ...”she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!”said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared with a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled and said, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did l not think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

【答案】范文
Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the door. “Where could my mother be ” she wondered, “Was she still angry with me ” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2:
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently.
