A girl of 12 has raised more than 8,000 for a cancer charity by running three kilometres every day for a year in honour of her grandad. Emily Talman, of Birkenhead, Merseyside, was inspired by the Daily Mirror’s “Pride of Britain Awards” to take on the challenge. She started running on November 8 last year after Grandad Pete Talman recovered from prostate (前列腺) cancer.
Emily said she did it for all grandads. She added: “I remember watching the ‘Pride of Britain Awards’ last year, when my grandad was better, and I wanted to do something to help other families who are going through what we did.”
Pete, 69, was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. He had successful surgery to remove his prostate the following July. “My grandad always told me, ‘Never give up, never give in’ and that’s what I’ve told myself during my challenge. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to still have him in my life.”
Emily had to face all weather for her runs. But she said thinking about families who have lost loved ones to cancer kept her going. The determined schoolgirl, who has three sisters, added, “I always think about the people who can’t be with their grandad, dad, uncle, or brother because of prostate cancer.”
Liverpool fan Emily even made time on Christmas Day and her 12th birthday on August 15 for her runs. She plans to “have a little break from running” but hopes to complete 100 more days every year in the future to keep spreading awareness of prostate cancer.
Parents Ricky Talman and Stacey Williams told of their pride in her. Ricky said, “It was a tough challenge but she’s just been a warrior and everyone in the family is so proud of her.”
4 What does Emily run for
A. The family’s dream. B. A meaningful cause.
C. Her education funds. D. Her physical health.
5. What motivated Emily to do something for all grandads
A. A TV program. B. A prize awarded to her.
C. Her terrible disease. D. Her grandad’s words.
6. What is Emily’s plan for the future
A. To commit to spreading awareness of running.
B. To get down to promoting her academic performance.
C. To run about 1/3 year for cancer charity.
D. To take on a tougher challenge to prove herself.
7. Which of the following can best describe Emily
A. Lovely and innocent. B. Proud and humorous.
C. Considerate and talkative. D. Caring and determined.
C
You know the feeling. You finish a full meal and arc like “I’m never eating again.” But then, out comes a beautiful piece of cake. And, you said you were full, but not for dessert! It turns out you really can “make room” for dessert.
And there’s a scientific reason why. The thing that gives you room for dessert is called “Sensory—Specific Satiety” That’s what Dr. Rolls, a nutritional scientist, has been studying since the 1980s. Here is how her experiment went. She gave six people a giant plate of spaghetti and told them to eat until they were full. And then, for the second course, she gave them more. Then, she gave them ice cream. On average, after they said they were full on spaghetti, each person could eat just one more ounce of it in their second serving. But when she gave them ice cream, somehow they could eat three times as much. They “made room” for dessert.
The experiment shows that when you feel full, it’s not necessarily that your stomach is physically full. It’s more about how interested you are in—eating more. Sensory—specific satiety is the change in how much you like a food, how much you want to eat, as you’re eating it. “I’ve just had enough of the food; I want something else” is really what sensory—specific satiety is.
And that natural ability has a purpose: it’s meant to keep us healthy. It’s going to help to guarantee that we’re going to cat the variety of nutrients that we need. However, it can backfire of course, because if we are presented with a variety of foods, it makes us extra likely to overeat.
8. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead to the main topic. B. To make a comparison.
C. To amuse the readers. D. To summarize the main idea.
9. According to Dr. Rolls, why did the people “make room” for ice cream
A. Because they had a wrong feeling.
B. Because there was a change in food variety.
C. Because they lied about feeling full.
D. Because the ice cream was more delicious.
10. What does the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Consume much energy. B. Discourage people from eating.
C. Have the opposite result. D. Produce a helpful effect.
11. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Education. C. Culture. D. Health.
D
The number of fish caught just outside a recently expanded marine (海洋) protected area in Hawaii has risen. It is a sign that quadrupling (四倍) the size of the reserve in 2016 may have shored fish populations in the region.
When the Marine National Monument around Hawaii was enlarged to 1,510,000 square kilometers, marine conservationists around the world rejoiced.
Fishers may have felt differently, however, as fishing inside the area is not allowed. Yet by creating a space for dwindling tuna populations to recover, supporters argued, the reserve would benefit fisheries as well.
As populations inside the reserve boundaries steadily increased, they predicted, the fish would spill (溢出) over into the surrounding areas, increasing the amount of tuna available to catch.
Proving that is tricky, however, as tuna can’t be counted directly. Their numbers may rise or fall for a variety of reasons other than the expansion of a reserve. But the new study, published in Science this week, strongly suggests the number of fish caught just outside the MPA is higher now than it used to be.
Alan Friedlander, chief scientist for the National Geographic Society’s Pristine Seas project, calls the study a “very careful and strict test of spillover from marine protected areas.”
Importantly, says John Lynham, an environmental economist at the University of Hawaii and one of the study’s authors, the increase in tuna catches near the reserve held up even when looking at the average numbers caught by particular fishers. This shows the effect is not due to more effective crews now fishing local waters, he explains. To account for effort, catch numbers were divided by the ever-increasing number of fishing hooks in the area.
Lynham and colleagues found the catch per hook increased over the 10 years of the study. Fishers were catching on average six more yellowfin and five more bigeye tuna per year after the expansion than before.
“That last one, especially, was a surprise,” says Lynham, “because it is economically much more important, and there were fewer indications of an increase.”
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The rising number of fish caught is a sign of a well-reserved area.
B. Enlarge the size of reserve may contribute to the increasing of fish population.
C. The number of fish caught has risen to quadrupling (四倍) the size of that in 2016.
D. Fish catching outside the reserve does good to the expanded marine protected area.
13. How did fishers feel when the reserve announced expanded
A. They felt joyful. B. They felt different. C. They felt unpleasant. D. They felt excited.
14. How do the researchers prove the tuna population has increased
A. By figuring the average catch per hook in the area.
B. By summing up the catch of mare effective crews.
C. By looking at the numbers caught by particular fishers.
D. By detecting the number of tuna population in the surrounding area.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Tuna population embraces a boost B. Marine Protected Areas Help Fisheries
C. Local fisheries hold a promising future D. Tuna population can be counted scientifically

A Beautiful Brooch
In 1945, a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch ( 胸 针 ) in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price five dollars was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Reuben couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack ( 面粉袋改做)shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding,“But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering (捶打) from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.
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:
Every day after school, Reuben started his plan.

A girl of 12 has raised more than 8,000 for a cancer charity by running three kilometres every day for a year in honour of her grandad. Emily Talman, of Birkenhead, Merseyside, was inspired by the Daily Mirror’s “Pride of Britain Awards” to take on the challenge. She started running on November 8 last year after Grandad Pete Talman recovered from prostate (前列腺) cancer.
Emily said she did it for all grandads. She added: “I remember watching the ‘Pride of Britain Awards’ last year, when my grandad was better, and I wanted to do something to help other families who are going through what we did.”
Pete, 69, was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. He had successful surgery to remove his prostate the following July. “My grandad always told me, ‘Never give up, never give in’ and that’s what I’ve told myself during my challenge. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to still have him in my life.”
Emily had to face all weather for her runs. But she said thinking about families who have lost loved ones to cancer kept her going. The determined schoolgirl, who has three sisters, added, “I always think about the people who can’t be with their grandad, dad, uncle, or brother because of prostate cancer.”
Liverpool fan Emily even made time on Christmas Day and her 12th birthday on August 15 for her runs. She plans to “have a little break from running” but hopes to complete 100 more days every year in the future to keep spreading awareness of prostate cancer.
Parents Ricky Talman and Stacey Williams told of their pride in her. Ricky said, “It was a tough challenge but she’s just been a warrior and everyone in the family is so proud of her.”

You know the feeling. You finish a full meal and arc like “I’m never eating again.” But then, out comes a beautiful piece of cake. And, you said you were full, but not for dessert! It turns out you really can “make room” for dessert.
And there’s a scientific reason why. The thing that gives you room for dessert is called “Sensory—Specific Satiety” That’s what Dr. Rolls, a nutritional scientist, has been studying since the 1980s. Here is how her experiment went. She gave six people a giant plate of spaghetti and told them to eat until they were full. And then, for the second course, she gave them more. Then, she gave them ice cream. On average, after they said they were full on spaghetti, each person could eat just one more ounce of it in their second serving. But when she gave them ice cream, somehow they could eat three times as much. They “made room” for dessert.
The experiment shows that when you feel full, it’s not necessarily that your stomach is physically full. It’s more about how interested you are in—eating more. Sensory—specific satiety is the change in how much you like a food, how much you want to eat, as you’re eating it. “I’ve just had enough of the food; I want something else” is really what sensory—specific satiety is.
And that natural ability has a purpose: it’s meant to keep us healthy. It’s going to help to guarantee that we’re going to cat the variety of nutrients that we need. However, it can backfire of course, because if we are presented with a variety of foods, it makes us extra likely to overeat.
8 What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead to the main topic. B. To make a comparison.
C. To amuse the readers. D. To summarize the main idea.
9. According to Dr. Rolls, why did the people “make room” for ice cream
A. Because they had a wrong feeling.
B. Because there was a change in food variety.
C. Because they lied about feeling full.
D. Because the ice cream was more delicious.
10. What does the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Consume much energy. B. Discourage people from eating.
C. Have the opposite result. D. Produce a helpful effect.
11. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Education. C. Culture. D. Health.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了实验表明，当你感到饱的时候，并不一定是因为你的胃已经饱了，这种叫“特定感觉的饱腹感”。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“And there’s a scientific reason why.(这是有科学依据的。)”可知，上文第一段是通过一个事例来引出下文一个研究，也就是本文的主题“特定感觉的饱腹感”。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句““I’ve just had enough of the food; I want something else” is really what sensory—specific satiety is.(“我吃得已经够多了；我想要别东西”这就是特定感觉的饱腹感。)”以及最后一段“It’s going to help to guarantee that we’re going to cat the variety of nutrients that we need. However, it can backfire of course, because if we are presented with a variety of foods, it makes us extra likely to overeat. (这将有助于保证我们能够获得我们所需的各种营养。然而，这当然会适得其反，因为如果我们面前摆着各种各样的食物，我们就更有可能暴饮暴食。)”可知，人们之所以在吃饱一样食物之后还能吃下别的东西，最关键在于食物的种类发生了变化，即食物多样性。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后半句“because if we are presented with a variety of foods，it makes us extra likely to overeat.（如果人们面对各种各样的食物，特定感觉的饱腹感使他们更有可能吃得过多。）”可知，这是起反作用效果，所以backfire意为“反效果”。A. Consume much energy消耗大量能源；B. Discourage people from eating劝阻人们不要吃东西；C. Have the opposite result结果正好相反；D. Produce a helpful effect产生有益的效果，故选C。
【11题详解】

D
The number of fish caught just outside a recently expanded marine (海洋) protected area in Hawaii has risen. It is a sign that quadrupling (四倍) the size of the reserve in 2016 may have shored fish populations in the region.
When the Marine National Monument around Hawaii was enlarged to 1,510,000 square kilometers, marine conservationists around the world rejoiced.
Fishers may have felt differently, however, as fishing inside the area is not allowed. Yet by creating a space for dwindling tuna populations to recover, supporters argued, the reserve would benefit fisheries as well.
As populations inside the reserve boundaries steadily increased, they predicted, the fish would spill (溢出) over into the surrounding areas, increasing the amount of tuna available to catch.
Proving that is tricky, however, as tuna can’t be counted directly. Their numbers may rise or fall for a variety of reasons other than the expansion of a reserve. But the new study, published in Science this week, strongly suggests the number of fish caught just outside the MPA is higher now than it used to be.
Alan Friedlander, chief scientist for the National Geographic Society’s Pristine Seas project, calls the study a “very careful and strict test of spillover from marine protected areas.”
Importantly, says John Lynham, an environmental economist at the University of Hawaii and one of the study’s authors, the increase in tuna catches near the reserve held up even when looking at the average numbers caught by particular fishers. This shows the effect is not due to more effective crews now fishing local waters, he explains. To account for effort, catch numbers were divided by the ever-increasing number of fishing hooks in the area.
Lynham and colleagues found the catch per hook increased over the 10 years of the study. Fishers were catching on average six more yellowfin and five more bigeye tuna per year after the expansion than before.
“That last one, especially, was a surprise,” says Lynham, “because it is economically much more important, and there were fewer indications of an increase.”
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The rising number of fish caught is a sign of a well-reserved area.
B. Enlarge the size of reserve may contribute to the increasing of fish population.
C. The number of fish caught has risen to quadrupling (四倍) the size of that in 2016.
D. Fish catching outside the reserve does good to the expanded marine protected area.
13. How did fishers feel when the reserve announced expanded
A. They felt joyful. B. They felt different. C. They felt unpleasant. D. They felt excited.
14. How do the researchers prove the tuna population has increased
A. By figuring the average catch per hook in the area.
B. By summing up the catch of mare effective crews.
C. By looking at the numbers caught by particular fishers.
D. By detecting the number of tuna population in the surrounding area.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Tuna population embraces a boost B. Marine Protected Areas Help Fisheries
C. Local fisheries hold a promising future D. Tuna population can be counted scientifically

【解析】
【导语】本文为新闻报道，虽然去年世界卫生组织宣布我国已经消除疟疾。我国仍然有因输入性疟疾引起流行的风险。
【36题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：一位卫生专家周五表示，中国仍有可能出现输入性病例导致的国内疟疾疫情。cause与outbreaks的关系为动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。故填caused。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：中国寄生虫病研究所所长周晓农表示，去年6月，世界卫生组织宣布中国无疟疾，并称赞这是一项了不起的成就。由空前的不定冠词a可知，此处用名词单数形式作介词as的宾语。故填achievement。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：但他表示，在2019年底新冠肺炎大流行出现之前，中国每年仍报告约3000例输入性感染。结合句意可，上下文是转折关系，用副词however，首字母应大写。故填However。
【39题详解】
考时态和主谓一致。句意：2020年，全球85个疟疾流行国家估计有2.41亿例疟疾病例，比2019年增加6%。根据“In 2020”可知，句子用一般过去时， there be句型中主语cases是复数，be动词用were。故填were。
【40题详解】
考名词复数。句意：根据世界卫生组织的数据，同期疟疾死亡人数也增加了12%，到2020年估计达到62.7万人。此处表示“死亡人数”，death用作可数名词，应用复数形式。故填deaths。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：中国正与非洲和东南亚国家频繁沟通，跨境旅行者的数量不断增加，这意味着发现输入性疟疾病例的风险仍然存在。have communication with与……沟通，固定搭配。故填with。
【42题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意同上。此处考查固定短语a/an...number of，表示“许多”，increasing是以元音音素开头，故填an。
【43题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：周说，现有的技术无法消灭蚊子，它们的存在可能会增加疟疾广泛传播的风险。根据上下文可知此处为顺承的并列关系，应用and连接。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：他说，为了解决潜在的危险，中国已经发布了防止输入性疟疾病例在国内传播的新规定，强调对输入性疟疾病例的早期预防和应急响应。此处用动词不定式to prevent后置定语，修饰名词rules，故填to prevent。
【45题详解】
考查现在分词。句意同上。动词highlight与逻辑主语China之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词作伴随状语。故填highlighting。

A Beautiful Brooch
In 1945, a 12-year-old boy saw a beautiful brooch ( 胸 针 ) in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price five dollars was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Reuben couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack ( 面粉袋改做)shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding,“But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering (捶打) from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.

Every day after school, Reuben started his plan.

Paragraph 2:
Finally, the time came!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. Cold and hungry, Reuben wandered the streets, searching for the nail bags carefully. To save more money, he even decided to deliver papers in the early morning. Exhausted and tired as he felt, he still stuck to the plan. It was the brooch in the shop window that reminded him that what he did was worthwhile. After a long time of hard work, he made it eventually.
Finally, the time came! He took out the soda tin, poured the coins out and began to count. Five dollars! His hard work paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Reuben rushed for the shop to buy the brooch. The moment he got the beautiful brooch, he burst through the front door, and placed it in Dora’s hand. Never had Dora received such a gift. Speechless and happy, she held her son tightly in her arms, with tears welling up in her eyes.
