Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are compounds( 化 合 物 ; 复 合 物 ) that are set to solve some tough challenges: producing water in the desert, removing greenhouse gases from the air and storing dangerous gases
more safely.
The Arizona desert is really dry. Anyone stuck in it without water would die from dehydration (脱水) within three days, unless he had one of Omar Yaghi's next-generation water harvesters, who is a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley. Although daytime wetness is only about 10 percent, this rises to 40 percent at night, which
means there's enough water in the atmosphere to support life - if it can be transformed into liquid form.
That's exactly what Yaghi's invention does. It's about the size of a small microwave oven, designed to suck the water from the air at night and turn it into drinking water the next day using only the heat of the sun as its power source. What makes it work is a special material called a MOF, which at normal temperatures attracts water molecules (分子) onto the surface of its internal small holes. Warm it up and get the water, each harvest producing one-third of a cup of pure drinking water. "A device the size of a washing machine could produce enough water for
the basic needs of a household," says Yaghi.
These crystalline (结晶的) groups of metals linked by organic molecules can be made into materials with an extremely high absorption ability, attracting specific molecules to their surfaces. In this way, MOFscling toa variety
of liquids and gases.
MOFs work thanks to their distinctive structure. In fact, one MOF the size of a sugar cube has so many small holes that they would cover an area as large as six football fields. MOFs are also extremely stable, light and have many different uses: their molecular structure can be varied to attract specific molecules. Adding a small amount of heat or pressure causes the MOF to give what it's holding. More than 70,000 different MOFs have been produced to
date for various applications.
1 ．Why is the Arizona desert mentioned in the second paragraph

Once a circle missed a wedge (楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. Finally it found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and
rolled slowly away.
In some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn, to hope, to nourish(滋润) his soul with the dream of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him
something he has always wanted or never had.
There is wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and does not feel like a failure for doing so. There is wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy(悲剧) and survive — he or she can
lose someone and still feel like a complete person.
Life is more like a baseball season, when even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose. When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it, we will have achieved
wholeness that others can only long for.
5 ．Which may be an example of being whole
A ．A person has everything.
B ．A person accepts his or her limitations.
C ．A person loves someone and is loved.
D ．A person feels blue for dropping unrealistic goals.
6 ．How is a baseball season similar to life
A ．Easy come, easy go.
B ．Failure is the mother of success.
C ．Energy and persistence conquer all things.
D ．Some battles you win and some battles you lose.
7 ．How does the author clarify his idea
A ．Mainly by comparing.
B ．Mainly by reasoning.
C ．Mainly by informing.
D ．Mainly by arguing.
8 ．What can be the best title for the passage
A ．Pursue perfection in life
B ．Be whole in life
C ．Life without mistakes is whole
D ．No pains, no gains

Jeremy from America cannot understand why a lady he met outside the Hyde Park in London said, “Ooh, isn’t it cold ”, and he thinks of this behaviour as a distinctively English concern about the weather. In fact, the female was just trying to strike up a conversation with Jeremy. Not necessarily a long conversation — just an exchange of greetings. It is not always quite that obvious, but all English weather conversations have a distinctive structure
conducted according to unwritten but accepted rules.
The unpredictable nature of our weather ensures that there is always something new to comment on, or perhaps most importantly, agree about. We have already established that weather-speak greetings like “Cold, isn’t it ” require the response expressing agreement, as in “Yes, isn’t it ” .It would be very rude to respond with “No, actually it’s quite mild.” or “It’s pretty hot to me.” If you deliberately break the rule, you will find that the atmosphere becomes rather tense and awkward. There may be an uncomfortable silence. Most likely, they will either change the subject or continue talking about the weather among themselves politely, if coldly, ignoring your
faux pas.
There is, however, one situation in which English weather-speakers are not required to observe the agreement rule at all and that is the male-bonding argument, particularly the pub-argument. In the special environment of the pub, constant disagreement not just on the weather, but on everything else as well is a means of expressing
friendship.
While we may spend much of our time complaining about our weather, foreigners are not allowed to criticize it. Indeed, this brings us to the weather as family rule. In this respect, we treat the English weather like a member of our family: one can complain about the behavior of one’s own children or parents, but any blame from an outsider is unacceptable. The weather may be one of the few things about which the English are still unconsciously and
unashamedly patriotic （爱国的） .
9 ．Why did the lady comment on the weather to Jeremy
A ．To build up friendship.
B ．To begin a casual chat.
C ．To send seasonal greetings.
D ．To express dissatisfaction.
10 ．What does the underlined phrase “faux pas” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A ．Improper response.
B ．Careless attitude.
C ．Rude interruption.
D ．Frequent complaint.
11 ．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A ．Male bonding in pubs.
B ．Argument about weather.
C ．Exception to the agreement rule.
D ．Making friends by disagreement.
12 ．What is the best title for this text
A ．Politeness Tips for Foreigners
B ．Accepted Rules in Social Life
C ．English Politeness in Weather Conversation
D ．Hidden Rules of English Weather Conversation

Occupational Licenses with the Biggest Bang for Buck
Some 1.8 million American were laid off or discharged from their jobs each month on average in 2019, according to data from the U. S. Bureau of Labor statistics. People who lose their jobs often confront a difficult choice: should they take a new job that pays less, or should they make a costly investment in gaining new skills so
that they can compete for another similar job or an even better one
If they do decide on retraining ,which programs and occupational licenses are worth their while In general, the highest-paying jobs tend to have the most difficult education/ training and experience requirements. But that is
not always the case. The following are five occupational licenses with the biggest bang for your buck.
Drone Pilots: If you want to become a drone pilot, all you need to do is be above 16 years old, pass the Federal Aviation Administration's Remote Pilot Certificate exam (which requires about 15 to 20 hours of studying), and pay a $ 150 licensing fee. Pay for drone pilots averages $ 56,426 per year, and jobs are growing rapidly across a range of industries. For example, companies like UPS are making substantial investments in drone delivery and
will need to hire thousands of drone pilots in the coming years.
Home Inspectors: If you need a job that makes about $ 60K per year, you might want to consider becoming a Home Inspector. Both Home Inspectors and HVAC Contractors earn about $ 61K per year, on average, but getting
a state HVAC Contractor license typically requires about 4,000 hours of training and experience (those systems are
becoming even more complex), whereas a Home Inspector license only requires 360 hours of training and
experience, and much of the training can be gained free of charge on the job.
Massage Therapists: On average, Manicurists/Pedicurists are required to complete more hours of training than Massage Therapists (700 hours versus 500 hours), but Massage Therapists earn almost twice as much, on
average ($54,639 versus $ 32,509).
Radiologic Technologists: Licensing requirements for cosmetologists（美容师）have become so onerous that candidates now need 2,700 hours of training and experience on average. That's not much less than the requirement for becoming a Radiologic or MRI Technologist (3,300 hours), a job which is growing considerably faster than
average, is more recession - proof, and pays twice as much ($ 56,162 versus $ 28,608).
Dental Hygienists: Among jobs that require a two-year associate's degree granted by a college or university, some pay substantially more than others. The average state licensing fee for becoming a Dental Hygienist is a hefty
$ 1,600, but the pay bump you'll receive will likely make up for it ten times over in the first year.
13 ．The underlined expression "the biggest bang for your buck" in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A ．the job loss for your hesitation to invest
B ．a good income resulting from your skills
C ．a good return for the money you have spent
D ．the great efforts you'd make to change your life.
14 ．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
A ．Among the drone operators, those who work for delivery services can earn the most.
B ．Compared to a home inspector, being an HVAC Contractor is more cost-effective.
C ．As an MRI technologist, you'd be less likely to be jobless during an economic crisis.
D ．Higher education isn't a compulsory requirement if you want to be a dental hygienist.
15 ．Which of the following matching for the chart is correct according to the passage
A . ① Radiologic Technologist; ② Cosmetologist; ③General Contractor
B . ① Drone Pilot; ② General Contractor; ③ Dental Hygienists
C . ① Message Therapist; ② Radiologic Technologist; ③ Cosmetologist
D . ① Drone Piolt; ② Cosmetologist; ③ Radiologic Technologist

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use panies now know a great deal about problems
of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable
In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and a new way to
attract customers.
You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（ 配件） unmanageable, they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to
think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we
realize the virtues of simplicity.
It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our
ability to figure out how a complicated product works.
The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a
product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.
16 ．What does the first paragraph mainly discuss
A ．The benefits brought by the advanced technology.
B ．The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.
C ．The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.
D ．Many problems of usability known by the consumers.
17 ．Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph
A ．It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.
B ．What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.
C ．Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.
D ．The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product
18 ．What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4
A ．They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.
B ．They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.
C ．They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.
D ．They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.
19 ．What can be a suitable title for the text
A ．Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy Thing
B ．Feature-heavy Products in Demand
C ．The More Features, the Better
D ．Simplicity Outweighs Complexity

Dutch author Marieke Lucas Rijneveld has become one of the youngest writers to be shortlisted （列入候选）
for a Booker prize, after their debut novel （处女作） made the final line-up for the International Booker.
Rijneveld. a rising star in Dutch literature, is 28― lightly older than British author Daisy Johnson was when she was shortlisted for the Booker prize in 2018 age 27. The author, who identifies as male and uses the pronouns they/them, was shortlisted after a six-hour virtual (虚拟的) judging meeting for the 50,000 prize, which is shared equally between writer and translator, for The Discomfort of Evening, translated by Michele Hutchison. The novel, tells of a girl whose brother dies in a skating accident and draws from Rijneveld’s own experiences: when they
were three, their 12-year-old brother was knocked over and killed by a bus.
“Rijneveld’s language renders ( 重 现 ) the world again, revealing the shocks and violence of early youth through the angle of a Dutch dairy farm. The strangeness of a child looking at the strangeness of the world is in it,”
said judges of the work.
“The Discomfort of Evening is one of six novels in the running for the International Booker, each of which,” said chair of judges Ted Hodgkinson, “restlessly reinvents （重 塑）received narratives, from foundational myths
to family folklore, plunging us into discomfiting and delightful encounters with selves in a state of transition (过渡)”.
Hodgkinson chaired a panel （专家组）of five judges who selected the shortlist from 124 submissions. The coronavirus pandemic meant their meeting had to be virtual, but Hodgkinson said he and his panel still managed to
discuss the line-up for more than six hours.
The winner will be announced on 19 May.

D ．Hodgkinson and his panel were unhappy to discuss the line-up online for over six hours.
22 ．Why did the panel have a virtual judging meeting
A ．Because of the coronavirus pandemic.
B ．Because there were too many submissions.

The urgency and importance of Covid-19 over (he past year have driven almost everything else from most leaders5 minds. But since the vaccine is kicking in, Britain's government is once again beginning to think about the things that will matter later. Next week, it is expected to publish a 'plan for growth“ to boost productivity, with
innovation at its centre.
The world may be on the point of a technological boom with life sciences, at which Britain excels. Innovation is crucial to productivity, but on this front Britain's performance has lagged behind its competitors' in recent years. Its low spending on Research and Development (R&D) argues for a boost. Those who attributed the financial failure in the 1970s to the insufficiency of research funds may regard this as a threat to economic growth.
Promoting innovation can quickly (um into an exercise in picking winners - or, as is more often the case, losers.
A second danger is that policy agendas get mixed up. The government has promised to "level up” poorer areas of the country, so deprived towns are campaigning for more money for their universities. But trying to boost innovation by sending money to weak institutions is likely to make our leading universities lose their advantages, thus producing average ideas that could have been remarkable. Britain's research-funding system has always been
elitist(精英主义的). It should stay that way.
The government's first move in boosting innovation was the announcement of a plan for an Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA). ARlA's purpose is to fund high-risk, high-reward research. But money is not all that mailers. The successful translation of life science research into treatments during the pandemic suggests
some inexpensive measures that can also make a difference.
One is to speed up governmental processes. The rapidity with which Britain's medical regulator moved during
the pandemic is one reason why the vaccine rollout is racing through the population. Urgency is not unique lo pandemics. Getting things done quickly can make an investment worthwhile and determine where a businessman
chooses as a base.
Another useful measure the government should use is its unique ability to overcome barriers. At the beginning of the pandemic. Covid-19 researchers were unable to gain access to different strands of health service data. The government eased restrictions on existing data and allowed researchers to ask people who had tested positive tor
Covid-19 to join trials. Both were crucial to the effort.
A last principle is the value of connections between the government and the private sector. Kate Bingham, a venture capitalist who led the vaccine-purchase effort, understood how to deal with drug companies. Many of the civil servants working with her had commercial experience. The governments closeness to business during the
pandemic has been criticized. But without it, the vaccine effort would not have succeeded.
Innovation took human beings from caves to computers. Good education, a welcoming immigration policy and a friendly business environment will do most to tend it. But a new sensible principles can help keep the flame
burning.
24 ．What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A ．Investing insufficient money in innovation. B ．Promoting innovation in technology.
C ．Applying science results to practical uses. D ．Distributing funds to weak institutions.
25 ．What's the possible consequence of the British government's attempt to "level up'' poorer areas
A ．Britain's research-funding system will remain elitist.
B ．Weak institutions are more likely to produce remarkable results.
C ．The outstanding universities will be unable to exhibit remarkable ideas.
D ．Both poor and rich areas in the country will develop in a balanced way.
26 ．What can be inferred from the three principles put forward by the writer
A ．A businessman is more willing to set up business where governments show high efficiency.
B ．The administrative abilities are so unique to the government that they actually yield little fruit.
C ．The government ceased the cooperation with private sectors for the criticism they had received.
D ．The rollout of the vaccine was made possible mainly because the public responded quickly.
27 ．What's the best title of the passage
A ．How Governments Fuel the Sparks of Innovation
B ．Why the Brits Struggle in the Tech Race
C ．How Governments Benefit from Innovation
D ．What People Gain with the Light of Technology

Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent last summer in Canada's Banff National Park when a series of screams shocked him awake. Throwing on his shoes and grabbing a lantern his wife had handed him, he ran out to investigate. Despite the darkness, he could make out a neighboring tent. Backing out was a wolf, dragging
something in his teeth—a man.
Moments earlier, Elisa and Matt, were asleep with their two young children when the wolf tore into their tent. "It was like something out of a horror movie," Elisa recalled. For three minutes, Matt threw his body in front of Elisa and the boys and fought against the wolf. At one point, Matt got the upper hand, but the wolf turned the tables
and dragged Matt outside while Elisa was pulling on his legs trying to get him back.
It was then that Russ Fee entered the picture. He ran at the beast, kicking it in the hip. The wolf dropped Matt
and emerged from the tent. Fee felt like he had hit someone that was way out of his weight class.
Before the wolf could turn its anger on Fee, Matt, his arms bloodied, restarted the battle. The men threw at the
wolf with rocks, forcing it back. Then the families fled to the shelter of the Fees, minivan and called an ambulance.
"Attacks are so rare that a person here has a greater chance of being killed by a dog, lightning, a bee sting, or a
car collision with a deer than being injured by a wolf" said Matt.
Fee did think about drawing back, if less heroic, during the heat of battle. The moment the wolf locked eyes
with him, Fee said, "I immediately regretted kicking it."
28 ．What were the two families doing in the park
A ．They were making a horror movie. B ．They were camping in the wild.
C ．They were studying wolves. D ．They were investigating the park.
29 ．How did Matt escape from the wolf
A ．By Fee's kicking the wolf from behind. B ．By turning the table on the wolf.
C ．By placing his hand tightly on the wolf. D ．By his wife's pulling his legs.
30 ．What can be inferred from Paragraph 5
A ．Many deer are killed by vehicles. B ．Dogs are people's friends in need.
C ．Wolves seldom attack people there. D ．People are often attacked by wolves.
31 ．Which word can best describe Fee in the story
A ．Brave. B ．Responsible.
C ．Indifferent. D ．Clever.

“Hungary ” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion. “I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.”
And with that, my adventure started.
My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing exchange year in Hungary.
Going on an exchange had always been my dream. When my high school offered an all-year program ，I jumped at the opportunity. It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was get a plane ticket. I knew where I wanted to go: Spain, the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses. So when I heard that I was going to Hungary, I was pretty shocked. But I decided to make the best of it, since it was ，after all, a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity. Before I knew it, I was on the airplane, leaving for Budapest International Airport, Hungary.
I had times when I almost gave up. Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet. Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peer teens and me. I had to give up eating carrots, my beautiful favorite, for they think carrots are rubbish in their country. The change in the landscape was amazing, looking nothing like skyscrapers, bullet trains, cars ，and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to. Gradually, I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle, the warm-hearted people, and getting home at 2：30 p. m. at the latest from school. And
I was sad to leave on my very last day.
Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I have ever experienced. From my little sisters, I learned how to embrace life to its fullest. From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy
to run around the house. From my host parents I learned to stay positive, to smile, and that when you pick the right
persons and take their hands, suddenly, you become friends.
32 ．How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary
A ．Excited and satisfied. B ．Confused and shocked.
C ．Amazed and embarrassed. D ．Delighted and interested.
33 ．Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain
A ．He didn’t like Spain. B ．He wanted to learn Hungarian.
C ．It was a rare chance. D ．Going to Hungary was much cheaper.
34 ．What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary
A ．He fell in love with eating carrots. B ．He couldn’t wait to leave.
C ．He was surprised by the landscape. D ．He quickly got used to the life there.
35 ．According to Jonathan, the host family .
A ．changed him completely B ．taught him how to dance well
C ．treated him as equally as a student D ．showed him the good things of life

We’ve all been there: we go to the gym for a few days, and then we give in because it’s too tiring. Even
though you have great determination in the beginning, you find it difficult to make daily exercise a habit. So, how
can you do it
A ．Plan the time
Take your day and break it into hours on a piece of paper. It’s suggested by many experts that you exercise in
the morning. Not only do you burn more calories at that time, but it will make you energetic.
B ．Choose your exercise
What do you like to do Whether it’s swimming, running, cycling, or something else, find something you
enjoy. If doing the same thing every day makes you bored, do something different. Change and make it fun!
C ． Set your goal
What do you want to get out of this Whatever it is, write it down. Put a note by your bed with that goal
written on it to motivate you to get up in the morning and actually get out the door.
D ．Stick to your plan
Once you decide that you’re going to do something, stick to it. Don’t think that it will be easy. If you can
make it through the first few weeks then you’re fast on your way to making exercise a habit.
What exactly does building a habit do for you Most importantly, it makes exercise a priority (优先的事物) in
your life. People who have a habit of exercising won’t feel right if they don’t get in their daily exercise time.
39 ．Why do experts suggest doing sports in the morning
A ．Because the air is fresher at that time.
B ．Because it can help to keep us warm.
C ．Because it makes us burn more calories and energetic.
D ．Because it is the only free time we have during the day.

For more than 60 years, Lego bricks (乐高) have sparked children's imaginations. Now, a new version of these
toys is in the works. They’re Lego Braille Bricks, and they’re being tested around the world.
Lego Braille Bricks are designed to help people learn Braille. That’s a system of writing in which letters are
represented by raised dots. People who are blind or visually impaired use their fingertips to read it.
According to the World Health Organization, 36 million people worldwide are blind. In the United States, it’s estimated that only 10% of blind children learn Braille. Lego Braille Bricks can help change that. The small dots on
the bricks are arranged as Braille letters. Blind children can use these dots to learn Braille.
Lego plans to launch Braille Bricks next year. For some schools and institutions, Braille Bricks will be free.
Each will contain about 250 bricks. Along with the alphabet, the bricks will feature numbers and math symbols.
The Danish Association of the Blind was one of the first organizations to come up with the idea of using Lego bricks to teach Braille. Thorkild Olesen is the president of the group. Olesen is blind. He says many teachers don’t have the tools and skills to help kids learn Braille. So they teach with audio tools, such as audio books. “Like any other people, we need to express ourselves in writing,” Olesen said. “Audio is great. But it can never replace Braille. Braille is the single most important tool for us in order to learn to spell correctly, write, and gain literacy
like sighted people.”
45 ．Braille is .
A ．a new toy for blind children.
B ．a new version of Lego bricks.
C ．a writing system for blind people.
D ．a kind of book for blind people.
46 ．According to the passage, Lego Braille Bricks are characterized by .
A ．raised dots.
B ．numbers and math symbols.
C ．Braille letters.
D ．printed letters.
47 ．Through Lego Braille Bricks, blind children can learn about different ideas EXCEPT .
A ．art.
B ．numbers.
C ．math symbols.
D ．English letters.
48 ．Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the article
A ．In the US, one in ten blind children learn Braille.
B ．Lego will send Lego Braille Bricks to some schools for free.
C ．Lego Braille Bricks will help more blind children learn Braille.
D ．Many teachers are now teaching Braille with Lego Braille Bricks.

We are the products of evolution, and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes (基因), they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle -raising people in East Africa and
northern Europe have gained a mutation (突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.
On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation - not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.
They have traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, they’ve also built houses on stilts ( 支柱) in coastal
waters. “They are simply a stranger to the land,” said Redney C ． Jubilado, a University of Hawaii researcher who
studies the Bajau.
Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish. “We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than
us local islanders,” Dr. Jubilado said. “I could see them actually walking under the sea.”
In2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the
task easier for them. “it seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population,” said Dr. Ilardo.
She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.
49 ．What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1
A ．Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers. B ．New knowledge of human evolution.
C ．Recent findings of human origin. D ．Significance of food selection.
50 ．Where do the Bajau build their houses
A ．In valleys. B ．Near rivers. C ．On the beach. D ．Off the coast.
51 ．Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau
A ．They could walk on stilts all day. B ．They had a superb way of fishing.
C ．They could stay long underwater. D ．They lived on both land and water.
52 ．What can be a suitable title for the text

Rivers are the veins of the Earth, transporting the water and nutrients (营养物) needed to support the planet’s ecosystems, including human life. While many nutrients are essential to the survival of life, there is one element
transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to the future of our planet — carbon.
Carbon is everywhere and understanding the way it moves and is either released or stored by the Earth system is a complex science in itself. Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural acid rain, which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, melts minerals in rocks. This helps transform carbon dioxide to bicarbonate (碳酸氢 盐) in the water that then flows in our rivers. This is a very long process, which is one of the main ways carbon
dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. Carbon is transported by rivers to oceans and once that carbon reaches the
ocean, it is stored naturally in deep sea sediments (沉淀物) for millions of years.
As carbon travels down a river, different processes may impact whether it continues to flow downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere. For example, human engineering, like extensive dam construction, will result in dramatic changes to how water and sediments travel down the river. Some carbon that fails to reach the sea
may return to the atmosphere in some way, which causes more warming.
Earth’s climate is closely related to the carbon cycle. We all know about the essential role of plants in consuming carbon dioxide, but do we know enough about rivers Changing the chemistry and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon. Remember: wherever we live, we all live downstream.
53 ．Where is the carbon in rivers originally from
A ．The atmosphere. B ．The rocks.
C ．The acid rain. D ．The upstream areas.
54 ．Why is human engineering mentioned in Paragraph 3
A ．To show how important to life carbon is.
B ．To explain how necessary it is to build dams.
C ．To show how a natural process is interrupted.
D ．To explain how humans fight global warming.
55 ．What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A ．We’d better move upstream to live.
B ．We should protect plants along rivers.
C ．We’d better seek more help from plants.
D ．We should be cautious about river management.
56 ．What is the best title for the text
A ．What Humans Do with Rivers
B ．How Rivers’ Transporting Carbon Counts
C ．What the Carbon Cycle Means to Us

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are compounds( 化 合 物 ; 复 合 物 ) that are set to solve some tough challenges: producing water in the desert, removing greenhouse gases from the air and storing dangerous gases
more safely.
The Arizona desert is really dry. Anyone stuck in it without water would die from dehydration (脱水) within three days, unless he had one of Omar Yaghi's next-generation water harvesters, who is a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley. Although daytime wetness is only about 10 percent, this rises to 40 percent at night, which
means there's enough water in the atmosphere to support life - if it can be transformed into liquid form.
That's exactly what Yaghi's invention does. It's about the size of a small microwave oven, designed to suck the water from the air at night and turn it into drinking water the next day using only the heat of the sun as its power source. What makes it work is a special material called a MOF, which at normal temperatures attracts water molecules (分子) onto the surface of its internal small holes. Warm it up and get the water, each harvest producing one-third of a cup of pure drinking water. "A device the size of a washing machine could produce enough water for
the basic needs of a household," says Yaghi.
These crystalline (结晶的) groups of metals linked by organic molecules can be made into materials with an extremely high absorption ability, attracting specific molecules to their surfaces. In this way, MOFscling toa variety
of liquids and gases.
MOFs work thanks to their distinctive structure. In fact, one MOF the size of a sugar cube has so many small holes that they would cover an area as large as six football fields. MOFs are also extremely stable, light and have many different uses: their molecular structure can be varied to attract specific molecules. Adding a small amount of heat or pressure causes the MOF to give what it's holding. More than 70,000 different MOFs have been produced to
date for various applications.
1 ．Why is the Arizona desert mentioned in the second paragraph
A ．To introduce water harvesters.
B ．To stress the importance of water.
C ．To show the severity of its condition.
D ．To express the urgent need for water there.
2 ．What plays a vital role in water harvesters
A ．Solar energy.
B ．Water molecules.
C ．Metal-organic frameworks.
D ．MOFs' internal small holes.
3 ．Which can explain the phrase "cling to" underlined in paragraph 4
A ．Give off.
B ．Tum into.
C ．Hold onto.
D ．Break down.
4 ．What will probably be covered in the following paragraphs
A ．The future of the MOF technology.
B ．Other uses of the MOF technology.
C ．The improvement to the MOF technology.
D ．Possible limitations of the MOF technology.

Once a circle missed a wedge (楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. Finally it found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and
rolled slowly away.
In some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn, to hope, to nourish(滋润) his soul with the dream of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him
something he has always wanted or never had.
There is wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and does not feel like a failure for doing so. There is wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy(悲剧) and survive — he or she can
lose someone and still feel like a complete person.
Life is more like a baseball season, when even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose. When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it, we will have achieved
wholeness that others can only long for.
5 ．Which may be an example of being whole
A ．A person has everything.
B ．A person accepts his or her limitations.
C ．A person loves someone and is loved.
D ．A person feels blue for dropping unrealistic goals.

Jeremy from America cannot understand why a lady he met outside the Hyde Park in London said, “Ooh, isn’t it cold ”, and he thinks of this behaviour as a distinctively English concern about the weather. In fact, the female was just trying to strike up a conversation with Jeremy. Not necessarily a long conversation — just an exchange of greetings. It is not always quite that obvious, but all English weather conversations have a distinctive structure
conducted according to unwritten but accepted rules.
The unpredictable nature of our weather ensures that there is always something new to comment on, or perhaps most importantly, agree about. We have already established that weather-speak greetings like “Cold, isn’t it ” require the response expressing agreement, as in “Yes, isn’t it ” .It would be very rude to respond with “No, actually it’s quite mild.” or “It’s pretty hot to me.” If you deliberately break the rule, you will find that the atmosphere becomes rather tense and awkward. There may be an uncomfortable silence. Most likely, they will either change the subject or continue talking about the weather among themselves politely, if coldly, ignoring your
faux pas.
There is, however, one situation in which English weather-speakers are not required to observe the agreement rule at all and that is the male-bonding argument, particularly the pub-argument. In the special environment of the pub, constant disagreement not just on the weather, but on everything else as well is a means of expressing
friendship.
While we may spend much of our time complaining about our weather, foreigners are not allowed to criticize it. Indeed, this brings us to the weather as family rule. In this respect, we treat the English weather like a member of our family: one can complain about the behavior of one’s own children or parents, but any blame from an outsider is unacceptable. The weather may be one of the few things about which the English are still unconsciously and
unashamedly patriotic （爱国的） .
9 ．Why did the lady comment on the weather to Jeremy
A ．To build up friendship.
B ．To begin a casual chat.
C ．To send seasonal greetings.
D ．To express dissatisfaction.
10 ．What does the underlined phrase “faux pas” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A ．Improper response.
B ．Careless attitude.

Occupational Licenses with the Biggest Bang for Buck
Some 1.8 million American were laid off or discharged from their jobs each month on average in 2019, according to data from the U. S. Bureau of Labor statistics. People who lose their jobs often confront a difficult choice: should they take a new job that pays less, or should they make a costly investment in gaining new skills so
that they can compete for another similar job or an even better one
If they do decide on retraining ,which programs and occupational licenses are worth their while In general, the highest-paying jobs tend to have the most difficult education/ training and experience requirements. But that is
not always the case. The following are five occupational licenses with the biggest bang for your buck.
Drone Pilots: If you want to become a drone pilot, all you need to do is be above 16 years old, pass the Federal Aviation Administration's Remote Pilot Certificate exam (which requires about 15 to 20 hours of studying), and pay a $ 150 licensing fee. Pay for drone pilots averages $ 56,426 per year, and jobs are growing rapidly across a range of industries. For example, companies like UPS are making substantial investments in drone delivery and
will need to hire thousands of drone pilots in the coming years.
Home Inspectors: If you need a job that makes about $ 60K per year, you might want to consider becoming a
Home Inspector. Both Home Inspectors and HVAC Contractors earn about $ 61K per year, on average, but getting
a state HVAC Contractor license typically requires about 4,000 hours of training and experience (those systems are becoming even more complex), whereas a Home Inspector license only requires 360 hours of training and
experience, and much of the training can be gained free of charge on the job.
Massage Therapists: On average, Manicurists/Pedicurists are required to complete more hours of training than Massage Therapists (700 hours versus 500 hours), but Massage Therapists earn almost twice as much, on
average ($54,639 versus $ 32,509).
Radiologic Technologists: Licensing requirements for cosmetologists（美容师）have become so onerous that candidates now need 2,700 hours of training and experience on average. That's not much less than the requirement for becoming a Radiologic or MRI Technologist (3,300 hours), a job which is growing considerably faster than
average, is more recession - proof, and pays twice as much ($ 56,162 versus $ 28,608).
Dental Hygienists: Among jobs that require a two-year associate's degree granted by a college or university, some pay substantially more than others. The average state licensing fee for becoming a Dental Hygienist is a hefty
$ 1,600, but the pay bump you'll receive will likely make up for it ten times over in the first year.
13 ．The underlined expression "the biggest bang for your buck" in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A ．the job loss for your hesitation to invest
B ．a good income resulting from your skills
C ．a good return for the money you have spent
D ．the great efforts you'd make to change your life.
14 ．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
A ．Among the drone operators, those who work for delivery services can earn the most.
B ．Compared to a home inspector, being an HVAC Contractor is more cost-effective.
C ．As an MRI technologist, you'd be less likely to be jobless during an economic crisis.
D ．Higher education isn't a compulsory requirement if you want to be a dental hygienist.
15 ．Which of the following matching for the chart is correct according to the passage
A . ① Radiologic Technologist; ② Cosmetologist; ③General Contractor
B . ① Drone Pilot; ② General Contractor; ③ Dental Hygienists
C . ① Message Therapist; ② Radiologic Technologist; ③ Cosmetologist

结合 Radiologic Technologists 段落， 根据 That's not much less than the requirement for becoming a Radiologic or
MRI Technologist (3,300 hours), a job which is growing considerably faster than average, is more recession -
proof, and pays twice as much ($ 56,162 versus $ 28,608). 这并不比成为一名放射科或核磁共振技师(3300 小时) 的要求低多少， （核磁共振技师） 这份工作的增长速度远远超过平均水平， 更能抵御经济衰退的影响， 而且 报酬是平均水平的两倍(56162 美元对 28608 美元)。可知，成为了核磁技术专家，能抵御经济衰退的影响。 换句话说， 核磁技术专家不太可能失业。选项 C：作为核磁共振技术专家， 在经济危机期间， 你不太可能失
业。与文章意义相符。
结合 Dental Hygienists 的介绍： Among jobs that require a two-year associate's degree granted by a college or
university, some pay substantially more than others. The average state licensing fee for becoming a Dental
Hygienist is a hefty $ 1,600, but the pay bump you'll receive will likely make up for it ten times over in the first
year. 在那些需要学院或大学授予的两年制大专文凭的工作中，有些工作的薪水要比其他工作高得多。 成 为牙结石清除专家术的平均费用是 1600 美元，但是第一年你会得到 10 倍的加薪。可知，成为牙结石清除 专家，大学教育是必须的，会让你的薪水加薪。选项 D：如果你想成为一名牙结石清除专家，高等教育不
是必修课。和文章意义不符。据此，可知选项 C 符合题意。故选 C。
15．细节理解题。结合第三段 If you want to become a drone pilot, all you need to do is be above 16 years old, pass
the Federal Aviation Administration's Remote Pilot Certificate exam (which requires about 15 to 20 hours of
studying), and pay a $ 150 licensing fee. Pay for drone pilots averages $ 56,426 per year,如果你想成为一名无人
机飞行员，你只需要年满 16 岁，通过联邦航空管理局的远程飞行员证书考试(需要 15 至 20 小时的学习) ， 并支付 150 美元的执照费。无人机驾驶员的年薪平均为 56426 美元。可知， 成为无人机飞行员， 需要花费 150
美元的执照费， 15 至 20 小时的学习，无人机驾驶员的年薪平均为 56426 美元, ；结合第六段 Licensing
requirements for cosmetologists（美容师） have become so onerous that candidates now need 2,700 hours of
training and experience on average. That's not much less than the requirement for becoming a Radiologic or MRI
Technologist (3,300 hours), a job which is growing considerably faster than average, is more recession - proof, and pays twice as much ($ 56,162 versus $ 28,608). 美容师的执照要求变得如此艰巨， 以至于现在的申请者平均需 要 2700 小时的培训和经验。这并不比成为一名放射科或核磁共振技师(3300 小时)的要求低多少， ）（核磁共 振技师）这份工作的增长速度远远超过平均水平，更能抵御经济衰退的影响，而且报酬是平均水平的两倍 (56162 美元对美元)。可知道美容师的学时要求需要 2700 小时的培训和经验；薪水为 28608 美元；核磁共振 技师需要 3300 小时的学习和培训，薪水为 56162 美元；据此，结合图像可知， ①为无人机驾驶员， ②为美
容师， ③为核磁共振技师。选项 D 符合题意。故选 D。

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use panies now know a great deal about problems
of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable
In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and a new way to
attract customers.
You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（ 配件） unmanageable, they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we
realize the virtues of simplicity.
It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our
ability to figure out how a complicated product works.
The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual
problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a
product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.
16 ．What does the first paragraph mainly discuss
A ．The benefits brought by the advanced technology.
B ．The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.
C ．The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.
D ．Many problems of usability known by the consumers.

B ．What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.
C ．Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.
D ．The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product
18 ．What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4
A ．They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.
B ．They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.
C ．They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.
D ．They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.

Dutch author Marieke Lucas Rijneveld has become one of the youngest writers to be shortlisted （列入候选）
for a Booker prize, after their debut novel （处女作） made the final line-up for the International Booker.
Rijneveld. a rising star in Dutch literature, is 28― lightly older than British author Daisy Johnson was when she was shortlisted for the Booker prize in 2018 age 27. The author, who identifies as male and uses the pronouns they/them, was shortlisted after a six-hour virtual (虚拟的) judging meeting for the 50,000 prize, which is shared equally between writer and translator, for The Discomfort of Evening, translated by Michele Hutchison. The novel, tells of a girl whose brother dies in a skating accident and draws from Rijneveld’s own experiences: when they
were three, their 12-year-old brother was knocked over and killed by a bus.
“Rijneveld’s language renders ( 重 现 ) the world again, revealing the shocks and violence of early youth through the angle of a Dutch dairy farm. The strangeness of a child looking at the strangeness of the world is in it,”
said judges of the work.
“The Discomfort of Evening is one of six novels in the running for the International Booker, each of which,” said chair of judges Ted Hodgkinson, “restlessly reinvents （重 塑）received narratives, from foundational myths
to family folklore, plunging us into discomfiting and delightful encounters with selves in a state of transition (过渡)”.
Hodgkinson chaired a panel （专家组）of five judges who selected the shortlist from 124 submissions. The coronavirus pandemic meant their meeting had to be virtual, but Hodgkinson said he and his panel still managed to
discuss the line-up for more than six hours.
The winner will be announced on 19 May.
20 ．We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that .
A ．Rijneveld is a young male writer.
B ．Rijneveld and the translator Michele Hutchison will share the $50,000 prize.
C ．Daisy Johnson was the youngest writer shortlisted for a Booker prize this year.
D ．The Discomfort of Evening is partly adapted from Rijneveld’s own experiences.
21 ．Which can we infer from the passage
A ．Rijneveld’s brother died from a skating accident.
B ．The judges of the work speak highly of Rijneveld’s language.
C ．Six novels reveal the shocks and violence of early youth on a Dutch dairy farm.
D ．Hodgkinson and his panel were unhappy to discuss the line-up online for over six hours.
22 ．Why did the panel have a virtual judging meeting
A ．Because of the coronavirus pandemic.
B ．Because there were too many submissions.
C ．Because it was more effective online.
D ．Because the judges lives too far away from each other.
23 ．What is the most suitable title of the passage
A ．Booker prize winner will be announced

The urgency and importance of Covid-19 over (he past year have driven almost everything else from most leaders5 minds. But since the vaccine is kicking in, Britain's government is once again beginning to think about the things that will matter later. Next week, it is expected to publish a 'plan for growth“ to boost productivity, with
innovation at its centre.
The world may be on the point of a technological boom with life sciences, at which Britain excels. Innovation is crucial to productivity, but on this front Britain's performance has lagged behind its competitors' in recent years. Its low spending on Research and Development (R&D) argues for a boost. Those who attributed the financial failure in the 1970s to the insufficiency of research funds may regard this as a threat to economic growth.
Promoting innovation can quickly (um into an exercise in picking winners - or, as is more often the case, losers.
A second danger is that policy agendas get mixed up. The government has promised to "level up” poorer areas of the country, so deprived towns are campaigning for more money for their universities. But trying to boost innovation by sending money to weak institutions is likely to make our leading universities lose their advantages, thus producing average ideas that could have been remarkable. Britain's research-funding system has always been
elitist(精英主义的). It should stay that way.
The government's first move in boosting innovation was the announcement of a plan for an Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA). ARlA's purpose is to fund high-risk, high-reward research. But money is not all that mailers. The successful translation of life science research into treatments during the pandemic suggests
some inexpensive measures that can also make a difference.
One is to speed up governmental processes. The rapidity with which Britain's medical regulator moved during the pandemic is one reason why the vaccine rollout is racing through the population. Urgency is not unique lo pandemics. Getting things done quickly can make an investment worthwhile and determine where a businessman
chooses as a base.
Another useful measure the government should use is its unique ability to overcome barriers. At the beginning of the pandemic. Covid-19 researchers were unable to gain access to different strands of health service data. The
government eased restrictions on existing data and allowed researchers to ask people who had tested positive tor
Covid-19 to join trials. Both were crucial to the effort.
A last principle is the value of connections between the government and the private sector. Kate Bingham, a venture capitalist who led the vaccine-purchase effort, understood how to deal with drug companies. Many of the civil servants working with her had commercial experience. The governments closeness to business during the
pandemic has been criticized. But without it, the vaccine effort would not have succeeded.
Innovation took human beings from caves to computers. Good education, a welcoming immigration policy and a friendly business environment will do most to tend it. But a new sensible principles can help keep the flame
burning.
24 ．What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A ．Investing insufficient money in innovation. B ．Promoting innovation in technology.
C ．Applying science results to practical uses. D ．Distributing funds to weak institutions.
25 ．What's the possible consequence of the British government's attempt to "level up'' poorer areas
A ．Britain's research-funding system will remain elitist.
B ．Weak institutions are more likely to produce remarkable results.
C ．The outstanding universities will be unable to exhibit remarkable ideas.
D ．Both poor and rich areas in the country will develop in a balanced way.
26 ．What can be inferred from the three principles put forward by the writer
A ．A businessman is more willing to set up business where governments show high efficiency.
B ．The administrative abilities are so unique to the government that they actually yield little fruit.
C ．The government ceased the cooperation with private sectors for the criticism they had received.
D ．The rollout of the vaccine was made possible mainly because the public responded quickly.
27 ．What's the best title of the passage
A ．How Governments Fuel the Sparks of Innovation
B ．Why the Brits Struggle in the Tech Race
C ．How Governments Benefit from Innovation
D ．What People Gain with the Light of Technology

24．词义猜测题。由第二段“Those who attributed the financial failure in the 1970s to the insufficiency of research funds may regard this as a threat to economic growth.” （那些将 70 年代的金融失败归因于研究资金不足的人可 能将其视为对经济增长的威胁。）由文中这些人归因于资金不足，可知 this 指代研究资金不足。故选 A 项。 25．细节理解题。由第三段“But trying to boost innovation by sending money to weak institutions is likely to make our leading universities lose their advantages, thus producing average ideas that could have been remarkable.” （推 行该政策，贫穷的城镇为他们的大学争取更多的资金，但是试图通过向弱势机构捐款来促进创新，这可能 会使我们的领先大学失去优势， 产出那些本可以卓越的普通想法。）可知， 英国政府推行此政策， 一些领先
大学会失去自身的优势，也就是 C 项“大学无法展示出卓越的思想” 。故选 C 项。
26 ．推理判断题。由文章第五段可知， “One is to speed up governmental processes. The rapidity with which
Britain's medical regulator moved during the pandemic is one reason why the vaccine rollout is racing through the population. ” （大流行期间， 英国医疗监管机构迅速采取行动， 是疫苗快速普及的原因之一。）可知， D 项“之 所以能够推出这种疫苗， 主要是因为公众反应迅速。 ”故 D 说法不对。后半句“Getting things done quickly can make an investment worthwhile and determine where a businessman chooses as a base. ” （快速完成工作可以使 您值得投资， 并确定商人选择作为基地的位置），所以效率高的地方更值得投资。A 项“商人更愿意在政府表 现出高效率的地方开展业务” 。A 说法符合题意。由文章倒数第二段“The governments closeness to business during the pandemic has been criticized. But without it, the vaccine effort would not have succeeded.”（ 大流行期
间政府与商业的亲密关系受到了批评。但是，如果没有它，疫苗工作将不会成功。政府和商业进行了合
作。）可知政府和商业进行了合作，故 C 不对。低六段“The government eased restrictions on existing data and
allowed researchers to ask people who had tested positive tor Covid-19 to join trials. Both were crucial to the
effort.” （政府放宽了对现有数据的限制， 并允许研究人员参加对 Covid-19 呈阳性反应的人试验。 两者对于 这项工作都是至关重要的。政府的能力在疫情期间是值得肯定的，所以 B 项“政府的行政能力是如此独特，
以至于实际上他们收效甚微。 ”说法不正确。故选 A 项。
27．主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Next week, it is expected to publish a 'plan for growth“ to boost productivity, with innovation at its centre.” （下周， 预计将发布“增长计划” 以提高生产力， 并以创新为中心。以及下文提到的原 则。）可知，还有最后一段 Good education, a welcoming immigration policy and a friendly business environment will do most to tend it. But a new sensible principles can help keep the flame burning. （良好的教育，热情的移民 政策和友善的商业环境将最有助于实现这一目标。但是新的明智原则可以帮助保持火焰燃烧。）可知， 全文
主要讲创新的原则，应该怎么激发创新，故选 A 项。
8.（2023·浙江 ·模拟预测）
Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent last summer in Canada's Banff National Park when a series of screams shocked him awake. Throwing on his shoes and grabbing a lantern his wife had handed him, he ran out to investigate. Despite the darkness, he could make out a neighboring tent. Backing out was a wolf, dragging
something in his teeth—a man.
Moments earlier, Elisa and Matt, were asleep with their two young children when the wolf tore into their tent. "It was like something out of a horror movie," Elisa recalled. For three minutes, Matt threw his body in front of Elisa and the boys and fought against the wolf. At one point, Matt got the upper hand, but the wolf turned the tables
and dragged Matt outside while Elisa was pulling on his legs trying to get him back.
It was then that Russ Fee entered the picture. He ran at the beast, kicking it in the hip. The wolf dropped Matt
and emerged from the tent. Fee felt like he had hit someone that was way out of his weight class.
Before the wolf could turn its anger on Fee, Matt, his arms bloodied, restarted the battle. The men threw at the
wolf with rocks, forcing it back. Then the families fled to the shelter of the Fees, minivan and called an ambulance.
"Attacks are so rare that a person here has a greater chance of being killed by a dog, lightning, a bee sting, or a
car collision with a deer than being injured by a wolf" said Matt.
Fee did think about drawing back, if less heroic, during the heat of battle. The moment the wolf locked eyes
with him, Fee said, "I immediately regretted kicking it."
28 ．What were the two families doing in the park
A ．They were making a horror movie. B ．They were camping in the wild.
C ．They were studying wolves. D ．They were investigating the park.
29 ．How did Matt escape from the wolf
A ．By Fee's kicking the wolf from behind. B ．By turning the table on the wolf.
C ．By placing his hand tightly on the wolf. D ．By his wife's pulling his legs.
30 ．What can be inferred from Paragraph 5
A ．Many deer are killed by vehicles. B ．Dogs are people's friends in need.
C ．Wolves seldom attack people there. D ．People are often attacked by wolves.

“Hungary ” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion. “I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.”
And with that, my adventure started.
My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing exchange year in Hungary.
Going on an exchange had always been my dream. When my high school offered an all-year program ，I jumped at the opportunity. It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was get a plane ticket. I knew where I wanted to go: Spain, the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses. So when I heard that I was going to Hungary, I was pretty shocked. But I decided to make the best of it, since it was ，after all, a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity. Before I knew it, I was on the airplane, leaving for Budapest International Airport, Hungary.
I had times when I almost gave up. Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet. Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peer teens and me. I had to give up eating carrots, my beautiful favorite, for they think carrots are rubbish in their country. The change in the landscape was amazing, looking nothing like skyscrapers, bullet trains, cars ，and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to. Gradually, I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle, the warm-hearted people, and getting home at 2：30 p. m. at the latest from school. And
I was sad to leave on my very last day.
Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I have ever experienced. From my little sisters, I learned how to embrace life to its fullest. From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy
to run around the house. From my host parents I learned to stay positive, to smile, and that when you pick the right
persons and take their hands, suddenly, you become friends.
32 ．How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary
A ．Excited and satisfied. B ．Confused and shocked.
C ．Amazed and embarrassed. D ．Delighted and interested.
33 ．Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain
A ．He didn’t like Spain. B ．He wanted to learn Hungarian.
C ．It was a rare chance. D ．Going to Hungary was much cheaper.
34 ．What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary
A ．He fell in love with eating carrots. B ．He couldn’t wait to leave.
C ．He was surprised by the landscape. D ．He quickly got used to the life there.
35 ．According to Jonathan, the host family .
A ．changed him completely B ．taught him how to dance well
C ．treated him as equally as a student D ．showed him the good things of life

We’ve all been there: we go to the gym for a few days, and then we give in because it’s too tiring. Even though you have great determination in the beginning, you find it difficult to make daily exercise a habit. So, how
can you do it
A ．Plan the time
Take your day and break it into hours on a piece of paper. It’s suggested by many experts that you exercise in
the morning. Not only do you burn more calories at that time, but it will make you energetic.
B ．Choose your exercise
What do you like to do Whether it’s swimming, running, cycling, or something else, find something you
enjoy. If doing the same thing every day makes you bored, do something different. Change and make it fun!
C ． Set your goal
What do you want to get out of this Whatever it is, write it down. Put a note by your bed with that goal
written on it to motivate you to get up in the morning and actually get out the door.
D ．Stick to your plan
Once you decide that you’re going to do something, stick to it. Don’t think that it will be easy. If you can
make it through the first few weeks then you’re fast on your way to making exercise a habit.
What exactly does building a habit do for you Most importantly, it makes exercise a priority (优先的事物) in
your life. People who have a habit of exercising won’t feel right if they don’t get in their daily exercise time.
39 ．Why do experts suggest doing sports in the morning
A ．Because the air is fresher at that time.
B ．Because it can help to keep us warm.
C ．Because it makes us burn more calories and energetic.
D ．Because it is the only free time we have during the day.
40 ．The author thinks it difficult for us to .
A ．form a good living habit
B ．make daily exercise a habit

For more than 60 years, Lego bricks (乐高) have sparked children's imaginations. Now, a new version of these
toys is in the works. They’re Lego Braille Bricks, and they’re being tested around the world.
Lego Braille Bricks are designed to help people learn Braille. That’s a system of writing in which letters are
represented by raised dots. People who are blind or visually impaired use their fingertips to read it.
According to the World Health Organization, 36 million people worldwide are blind. In the United States, it’s estimated that only 10% of blind children learn Braille. Lego Braille Bricks can help change that. The small dots on
the bricks are arranged as Braille letters. Blind children can use these dots to learn Braille.
Lego plans to launch Braille Bricks next year. For some schools and institutions, Braille Bricks will be free.
Each will contain about 250 bricks. Along with the alphabet, the bricks will feature numbers and math symbols.
The Danish Association of the Blind was one of the first organizations to come up with the idea of using Lego bricks to teach Braille. Thorkild Olesen is the president of the group. Olesen is blind. He says many teachers don’t have the tools and skills to help kids learn Braille. So they teach with audio tools, such as audio books. “Like any other people, we need to express ourselves in writing,” Olesen said. “Audio is great. But it can never replace
Braille. Braille is the single most important tool for us in order to learn to spell correctly, write, and gain literacy
like sighted people.”
45 ．Braille is .
A ．a new toy for blind children.
B ．a new version of Lego bricks.
C ．a writing system for blind people.
D ．a kind of book for blind people.
46 ．According to the passage, Lego Braille Bricks are characterized by .
A ．raised dots.
B ．numbers and math symbols.
C ．Braille letters.
D ．printed letters.
47 ．Through Lego Braille Bricks, blind children can learn about different ideas EXCEPT .
A ．art.
B ．numbers.
C ．math symbols.
D ．English letters.
48 ．Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the article
A ．In the US, one in ten blind children learn Braille.

We are the products of evolution, and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes (基因), they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years.
People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle -raising people in East Africa and
northern Europe have gained a mutation (突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.
On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation - not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, they’ve also built houses on stilts ( 支柱) in coastal waters. “They are simply a stranger to the land,” said Redney C ． Jubilado, a University of Hawaii researcher who
studies the Bajau.
Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish. “We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than
us local islanders,” Dr. Jubilado said. “I could see them actually walking under the sea.”
In2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the
task easier for them. “it seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population,” said Dr. Ilardo.
She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.
49 ．What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1
A ．Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers. B ．New knowledge of human evolution.
C ．Recent findings of human origin. D ．Significance of food selection.
50 ．Where do the Bajau build their houses
A ．In valleys. B ．Near rivers. C ．On the beach. D ．Off the coast.
51 ．Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau
A ．They could walk on stilts all day. B ．They had a superb way of fishing.
C ．They could stay long underwater. D ．They lived on both land and water.
