【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Canada is a vast and diverse country that offers plenty of incredible tourist destinations. From wonderful natural landscapes to lively cities, Canada has something for every traveler. Here’s a guide to some of Canada’s top tourist destinations.(加拿大是一个幅员辽阔、多样化的国家，提供了许多令人难以置信的旅游目的地。从美妙的自然景观到热闹的城市，加拿大有适合每个旅行者的东西。下面是加拿大一些顶级旅游目的地的指南。)”可知，文章主要介绍的是加拿大的诸多旅游景点。故推断文章出自于报纸的旅游部分。故选A。

On an autumn day, a stranger rang a woman’s doorbell. The woman looked through the peephole (窥视孔) and saw a man. At first, she thought it was a salesman who might go away. When he didn’t, she decided to answer and see what he wanted.
The man asked if a woman named Karen lived at the address. The woman answered that Karen was her mother, but she wasn’t home now. The man smiled, handed an envelope over and then walked away. When the woman saw the contents of the envelope, she was shocked. She then rushed out of the apartment to run after the man, but the stranger was gone.
Inside the envelope was $1,000 in cash and a letter explaining where the money was from. “Please accept this gift. Our late mother devoted much of her time and resources to helping people through Random (随机的) Acts of Kindness program. One way our family honors her is to keep the tradition with acts of random kindness. Although we do not know you personally, other members of our community identified you as a deserving recipient of this gift. Please use this money in any way you see fit.”
Random Acts of Kindness does not have to involve the giving of money. It can be as simple as sharing your time with someone lending an ear, or offering a compliment (赞美). The most important part is that the act is done with no expectation of anything in return.
It turned out that Karen had been battling cancer for three years. The illness left her financially struggling and this amount of money would really help her. We truly never know what someone is going through and how much a random act of kindness might help turn their life around. Surely, $1,000 won’t necessarily meet her need, but it can go a very long way in changing someone’s luck and setting them on a better path.
4. Why did the man come to the woman’s home
A. To donate money to Karen with cancer.
B. To find out the real situation of Karen.
C. To ask for the address of a patient he was to help.
D. To invite Karen to join Random Acts of Kindness.
5. How did the man’s family honor his mother
A. By appealing to more people to help others.
B. By continuing to offer help to those in need.
C. By starting Random Acts of Kindness program.
D. By raising funds for Random Acts of Kindness.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Random Acts of Kindness
A. The return it expects. B. The way to join it.
C. How it begins. D. How it functions.
7. What does the last paragraph intend to convey
A. No pains, no gains. B. Love me, love my dog.
C. More love, more hope. D. Faith can move mountains.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的一位女士收到了来自于陌生人的随机善举，给她的母亲捐赠了1000美元的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The man asked if a woman named Karen lived at the address. The woman answered that Karen was her mother, but she wasn’t home now. The man smiled, handed an envelope over and then walked away.( 那人问这个地址是否住着一个叫凯伦的女人。那个女人回答说凯伦是她的母亲，但她现在不在家。那人笑了笑，递给他一个信封，然后走开了。)”可知，那位男士在找一位叫Karen的女士，并交给她的女儿一个信封，第三段中的“Inside the envelope was $1,000 in cash and a letter explaining where the money was from.(信封里有1000美元现金和一封信，说明钱的来源。)”以及尾段中的“It turned out that Karen had been battling cancer for three years. (原来，凯伦已经和癌症抗争了三年。)”可知，信封里有1000美元现金，并解释了钱的来源，由此可知，那位男士是来给患癌症的Karen捐款的。故选A项。
5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One way our family honors her is to keep the tradition with acts of random kindness.(我们家纪念她的一种方式就是保持传统，做一些随机的善举。)”可知，那位男士说纪念母亲的方式就是继续做一些随机善举。故选B项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Random Acts of Kindness does not have to involve the giving of money. It can be as simple as sharing your time with someone lending an ear, or offering a compliment (赞美). The most important part is that the act is done with no expectation of anything in return.(随机的善举并不一定要包括给钱。它可以很简单，比如与倾听的人分享你的时间，或者给予赞美。最重要的是，这种行为是在不期望任何回报的情况下进行的。)”可知，随机善举不一定包括给钱，还可以与他人分享时间，倾听他人，或者给别人赞美，最重要的是不求任何的回报，由此可知，第四段主要讲述的是关于随机善举如何运行的。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“We truly never know what someone is going through and how much a random act of kindness might help turn their life around. Surely, $1,000 won’t necessarily meet her need, but it can go a very long way in changing someone’s luck and setting them on a better path.(我们真的不知道一个人正在经历什么，也不知道一个偶然的善举能在多大程度上改变他们的生活。当然，1000美元不一定能满足她的需求，但它可以在很大程度上改变一个人的运气，让他们走上更好的道路。)”可知，随机善举不一定能满足人们的需求，也不知道能有多大程度地改变人们的生活，但是这能改变一个人的运气，使他们走上更好的道路，由此可知，尾段倾向表达的是更多的爱会给人们带来更多的希望。故选C项。
C
By now we all know the importance of drinking enough water throughout the day, but there is such a thing as too much. Earlier this summer, a 35-year-old Indiana woman, died from water toxicity(毒性作用) after drinking too much water in a short period of time, according to a local news report.
While drinking enough water is important, overdoing it can lead to low levels of sodium(钠) in the blood, which can be life-threatening, according to Julia Zumpano, an expert at Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Human Nutrition.
Exactly how much is enough for our body depends on a variety of factors, including our weight, age, location and overall health. People in poor health, or active people such as athletes, are at risk of water toxicity, as they tend to drink large amounts of water and lose sodium through their sweat. So are women and children because of their smaller body size.
While the gold standard for many years has been eight glasses of 8 ounces(盎司) of water per day, the National Academy of Medicine suggests enough water intake is about 125 ounces for men and about 91 ounces for women. And it recommends not drinking more than 48 ounces of water per hour. This includes total water from fruits, vegetables and other drinks besides water.
If you struggle with getting enough water per day, you can try water bottles to help track your water intake. Eating fruits and vegetables can also increase our water intake. You could experiment with adding flavor to improve the taste of your water.
“Most people had better keep drinking water throughout the day, but larger amounts may be needed in the heat for an extended period of time or during exercise. If you are thirsty water—listen to your body. But don’t overdo it,” says Zumpano.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By giving an example. B. By showing the findings.
C. By making a comparison. D. By putting up a question.
9. What effect may drinking too much water have on us
A. Putting on weight. B. Speeding up aging.
C. Cutting sodium in blood. D. Making us more active.
10. What do we know from paragraph 4
A. We must drink less than 48 ounces of water a day.
B. Women can take in more water than men an hour.
C. We can take in little water from fruits and vegetables.
D. We’d better drink about 64 ounces of water every day.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. What is the result of water toxicity
B. How much water is too much water
C. Why do you find it difficult to drink enough water
D. How often need we remind ourselves to drink water
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了每天喝足够的水是非常重要的，但过犹不及，并提出了一些科学的喝水建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。第一段首句“By now we all know the importance of drinking enough water throughout the day, but there is such a thing as too much.(到目前为止，我们都知道一天中喝足够的水的重要性，但也有喝水太多的问题。)”首先提出了喝水过多会有不良后果，接着“Earlier this summer, a 35-year-old Indiana woman, died from water toxicity(毒性作用) after drinking too much water in a short period of time, according to a local news report.(据当地新闻报道，今年夏天早些时候，一名35岁的印第安纳州妇女因短时间内饮水过多而死于水中毒。)”举了一位女性喝水过多导致死亡的例子，对前面的话题进行具体说明，由此可推测出，作者通过举例介绍本文话题。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While drinking enough water is important, overdoing it can lead to low levels of sodium(钠) in the blood（虽然喝足够的水很重要，但过量喝水会导致血液中的钠含量过低）”可知，喝水过多会导致血液中的钠含量降低。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“While the gold standard for many years has been eight glasses of 8 ounces(盎司) of water per day, the National Academy of Medicine suggests enough water intake is about 125 ounces for men and about 91 ounces for women.(虽然多年来的黄金标准一直是每天8杯8盎司的水，但美国国家医学院建议，男性的足够摄入水量约为125盎司，女性约为91盎司。)”可知，喝水的黄金标准是每天8杯8盎司的水，即每天64盎司，美国国家医学院的建议是男性每天约125盎司，女性每天约91盎司。所以我们每天最好喝大约64盎司的水。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一、二段指出喝水过多有危害；第三段指出喝水的量由许多因素决定；第四至最后一段讲述了提出科学喝水量、摄入水的建议。由此可推测出，本文以喝水过多为话题展开论述，提出每天要科学控制喝水。所以B项“多少水是太多的水？”概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B。
D
Antarctic blue whales have been perceived again in the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. An international-team of researchers discovered the animals five decades after whaling (捕鲸业) nearly caused them to disappear forever. “The ocean resources at South Georgia were heavily developed during the early 20th-century industrial whaling,” says lead author Susannah Calderan, an ecologist with the Scottish Association for Marine Science.
Antarctic blue whales were plentiful in the area until whaling began there in 1904, kicking off the beginning of industrial whaling in the Southern Ocean. While hunters originally focused on species that could be easily caught, like the humpback whale, the focus quickly moved to the blue whale. Between 1904 and 1973, 345,775 Antarctic blue whales were killed in the Southern hemisphere (半球）and in the northern Indian Ocean. Around South Georgia, blue whale catches were reported year-round without stopping. Between 1904 and 1971, industrial whaling caused 42, 698 blue whales’ death, Blue whales almost disappeared in these areas.
Researchers studied all Antarctic blue whale data from the last three decades. They examined sightings (目睹)from scientific surveys collected by observers on ships, as well as opportunistic sightings reported by seamen and ship passengers to the South Georgia. They also examined acoustic(声音的）recordings of blue whale.
They found that whale surveys from ships off South Georgia resulted in just one blue whale sighting between 1998 and 2018. But more recent surveys suggest better news. A survey in February of 2020 found nearly 60 blue whale sightings, and several acoustic detections (探测).A total of 41 blue whales have been recognized through photos from South Georgia between 2011 and 2020.
“Their return is very meaningful, as it was widely thought that blue whales at South Georgia might have been hunted beyond a point where they could recover, and might never be seen again in great numbers at South Georgia,” Calderan says. “Our research shows that, populations can recover even from very low levels if they’re given enough protection.”
12. What does the underlined word “perceived” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Kept. B. Found. C. Hunted. D. Destroyed.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly want to tell us
A. The development of industrial whaling.
B. The cause of blue whales’ disappearance.
C. The wide spread of blue whales in the past.
D. The tricks of catching blue whales easily.
14. What did the researchers find through their surveys in South Georgia
A. There is an increasing return of blue whales.
B. Blue whales are in a more dangerous situation.
C. More and more people like watching blue whales.
D. South Georgia is a good place to watch blue whales.
15. What might be discussed in the following paragraph
A. The risk of killing whales at higher rates.
B. The sign of Antarctic blue whales’ return.
C. The way of protecting Antarctic blue whales.
D. The effect of the great loss of ocean resources.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了自从1904工业捕鲸开始之后，南极蓝鲸的数量急剧减少。研究人员研究了过去30年中所有南极蓝鲸的数据，他们发现，最近蓝鲸的目击纪录接近60条。这说明如果给予足够的保护，南极蓝鲸的数量可用从从非常低的水平恢复。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的“again(再一次)”以及后一句话“An international-team of researchers discovered the animals five decades after whaling (捕鲸业) nearly caused them to disappear forever. (一个国际研究团队在捕鲸几乎使它们永远消失50年后发现了这些动物)”可知，一个国际研究团队在捕鲸几乎使它们永远消失50年后发现了这些南极蓝鲸，说明南极蓝鲸在几乎消失后再次被发现。所以划线单词的意识是“发现”。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第三、四句话“Between 1904 and 1973, 345,775 Antarctic blue whales were killed in the Southern hemisphere(半球）and in the northern Indian Ocean. Around South Georgia, blue whale catches were reported year-round without stopping. Between 1904 and 1971, industrial whaling caused 42, 698 blue whales’ death, Blue whales almost disappeared in these areas.(1904年至1973年间，345775头南极蓝鲸在南半球和北印度洋被捕杀。据报道，在南乔治亚州，蓝鲸的捕获量全年不间断。1904年至1971年间，工业捕鲸导致42698头蓝鲸死亡，蓝鲸几乎在这些地区消失)”可知，第二段主要通过数据的形式告诉读者南极蓝鲸几乎消失的原因。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“They found that whale surveys from ships off South Georgia resulted in just one blue whale sighting between 1998 and 2018. But more recent surveys suggest better news. A survey in February of 2020 found nearly 60 blue whale sightings, and several acoustic detections (探测).A total of 41 blue whales have been recognized through photos from South Georgia between 2011 and 2020.(他们发现，1998年至2018年间，在南乔治亚州附近的船只上进行的鲸鱼调查只发现了一只蓝鲸。但最近的调查显示，这是一个更好的消息。2020年2月的一次调查发现了近60条蓝鲸目击记录，并进行了多次声学检测。2011年至2020年间，南乔治亚州共有41头蓝鲸通过照片被识别)”可知，从1998年到2018年发现了第一次蓝鲸开始，到2022年2月的一次调查中发现了近60条蓝鲸目击记录，这说明，蓝鲸被发现的频率一直在增加。由此可推知，研究人员在南乔治亚州的调查中发现蓝鲸的回归越来越多了。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句话“Our research shows that, populations can recover even from very low levels if they’re given enough protection.( 我们的研究表明，如果给予足够的保护，人口甚至可以从非常低的水平恢复)”可知，如果给予了足够的保护，蓝鲸的数量甚至可以从非常低的水平恢复。由此可推知，接下来文章要讨论关于保护南极蓝鲸的方法。故选C。

Fortune Cookie Friends
Jenny frowned (皱眉) as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea,” Jenny complained mostly to herself.
“What’s that ” her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots.
“Nothing,” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn’t even noticed her. Jenny sighed and got back to washing dishes.
On the day of the grand opening, Jenny’s parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was happy as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny’s age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny lowered her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.
Jenny’s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher.
“Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out front with the customers.”
“Mom, I don’t want to be out there. There are kids from school!”
“So ” her mother asked. “That’s good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!” she said to Jenny, pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read, “Many friends are found with a single smile.”

On an autumn day, a stranger rang a woman’s doorbell. The woman looked through the peephole (窥视孔) and saw a man. At first, she thought it was a salesman who might go away. When he didn’t, she decided to answer and see what he wanted.
The man asked if a woman named Karen lived at the address. The woman answered that Karen was her mother, but she wasn’t home now. The man smiled, handed an envelope over and then walked away. When the woman saw the contents of the envelope, she was shocked. She then rushed out of the apartment to run after the man, but the stranger was gone.
Inside the envelope was $1,000 in cash and a letter explaining where the money was from. “Please accept this gift. Our late mother devoted much of her time and resources to helping people through Random (随机的) Acts of Kindness program. One way our family honors her is to keep the tradition with acts of random kindness. Although we do not know you personally, other members of our community identified you as a deserving recipient of this gift. Please use this money in any way you see fit.”
Random Acts of Kindness does not have to involve the giving of money. It can be as simple as sharing your time with someone lending an ear, or offering a compliment (赞美). The most important part is that the act is done with no expectation of anything in return.
It turned out that Karen had been battling cancer for three years. The illness left her financially struggling and this amount of money would really help her. We truly never know what someone is going through and how much a random act of kindness might help turn their life around. Surely, $1,000 won’t necessarily meet her need, but it can go a very long way in changing someone’s luck and setting them on a better path.
4. Why did the man come to the woman’s home
A. To donate money to Karen with cancer.
B. To find out the real situation of Karen.
C. To ask for the address of a patient he was to help.
D. To invite Karen to join Random Acts of Kindness.
5. How did the man’s family honor his mother
A. By appealing to more people to help others.
B. By continuing to offer help to those in need.
C. By starting Random Acts of Kindness program.
D. By raising funds for Random Acts of Kindness.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Random Acts of Kindness
A. The return it expects. B. The way to join it.
C. How it begins. D. How it functions.
7. What does the last paragraph intend to convey
A. No pains, no gains. B. Love me, love my dog.
C. More love, more hope. D. Faith can move mountains.
C
By now we all know the importance of drinking enough water throughout the day, but there is such a thing as too much. Earlier this summer, a 35-year-old Indiana woman, died from water toxicity(毒性作用) after drinking too much water in a short period of time, according to a local news report.
While drinking enough water is important, overdoing it can lead to low levels of sodium(钠) in the blood, which can be life-threatening, according to Julia Zumpano, an expert at Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Human Nutrition.
Exactly how much is enough for our body depends on a variety of factors, including our weight, age, location and overall health. People in poor health, or active people such as athletes, are at risk of water toxicity, as they tend to drink large amounts of water and lose sodium through their sweat. So are women and children because of their smaller body size.
While the gold standard for many years has been eight glasses of 8 ounces(盎司) of water per day, the National Academy of Medicine suggests enough water intake is about 125 ounces for men and about 91 ounces for women. And it recommends not drinking more than 48 ounces of water per hour. This includes total water from fruits, vegetables and other drinks besides water.
If you struggle with getting enough water per day, you can try water bottles to help track your water intake. Eating fruits and vegetables can also increase our water intake. You could experiment with adding flavor to improve the taste of your water.

Antarctic blue whales have been perceived again in the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. An international-team of researchers discovered the animals five decades after whaling (捕鲸业) nearly caused them to disappear forever. “The ocean resources at South Georgia were heavily developed during the early 20th-century industrial whaling,” says lead author Susannah Calderan, an ecologist with the Scottish Association for Marine Science.
Antarctic blue whales were plentiful in the area until whaling began there in 1904, kicking off the beginning of industrial whaling in the Southern Ocean. While hunters originally focused on species that could be easily caught, like the humpback whale, the focus quickly moved to the blue whale. Between 1904 and 1973, 345,775 Antarctic blue whales were killed in the Southern hemisphere (半球）and in the northern Indian Ocean. Around South Georgia, blue whale catches were reported year-round without stopping. Between 1904 and 1971, industrial whaling caused 42, 698 blue whales’ death, Blue whales almost disappeared in these areas.
Researchers studied all Antarctic blue whale data from the last three decades. They examined sightings (目睹)from scientific surveys collected by observers on ships, as well as opportunistic sightings reported by seamen and ship passengers to the South Georgia. They also examined acoustic(声音的）recordings of blue whale.
They found that whale surveys from ships off South Georgia resulted in just one blue whale sighting between 1998 and 2018. But more recent surveys suggest better news. A survey in February of 2020 found nearly 60 blue whale sightings, and several acoustic detections (探测).A total of 41 blue whales have been recognized through photos from South Georgia between 2011 and 2020.
“Their return is very meaningful, as it was widely thought that blue whales at South Georgia might have been hunted beyond a point where they could recover, and might never be seen again in great numbers at South Georgia,” Calderan says. “Our research shows that, populations can recover even from very low levels if they’re given enough protection.”
12. What does the underlined word “perceived” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Kept. B. Found. C. Hunted. D. Destroyed.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly want to tell us
A The development of industrial whaling.
B. The cause of blue whales’ disappearance.
C. The wide spread of blue whales in the past.
D. The tricks of catching blue whales easily.
14. What did the researchers find through their surveys in South Georgia
A. There is an increasing return of blue whales.
B. Blue whales are in a more dangerous situation.
C. More and more people like watching blue whales.
D. South Georgia is a good place to watch blue whales.
15. What might be discussed in the following paragraph
A. The risk of killing whales at higher rates.
B. The sign of Antarctic blue whales’ return.
C. The way of protecting Antarctic blue whales.
D The effect of the great loss of ocean resources.

Fortune Cookie Friends
Jenny frowned (皱眉) as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea,” Jenny complained mostly to herself.
“What’s that ” her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots.
“Nothing,” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn’t even noticed her. Jenny sighed and got back to washing dishes.
On the day of the grand opening, Jenny’s parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was happy as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny’s age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny lowered her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.
Jenny’s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher.
“Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out front with the customers.”
“Mom, I don’t want to be out there. There are kids from school!”
“So ” her mother asked. “That’s good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!” she said to Jenny pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read, “Many friends are found with a single smile.”
