Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY (do it yourself). Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself.
She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derck Lloyd. From the age of six Terri, now 26, accompanied Derck to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with 5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.”
Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit (存款) when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.”
With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over that coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around 823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. Two fifths wish to increase the value of their house. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge.
4. Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1
A. An artist. B. A winner. C. An expert. D. A pioneer.
5. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her 5 a day
A. For a birthday gift. B. To encourage her to take up a hobby.
C. To support her DIY projects. D. As a treat for her work.
6. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented
A. By making it look like before. B. By making furniture herself.
C. By sharing the rent with a roommate. D. By ending the rental agreement.
7. What trend in DIY does the research show
A. It is becoming more costly. B. It is gaining popularity among females.
C. It is turning into a seasonal industry. D. It is getting more time-consuming.
C
Tired of your quiet day-to-day life How about leaving your computer games behind and taking up an extreme sport
You can ride a bicycle, right In that case you’re halfway to becoming a mountain biker. All you have to do is take your bike off the road and try some hilly areas. Mountain biking was developed in California in the 1970s and became an Olympic sport in 1996.
Not challenging enough Skydivers jump from planes at a height of 1,000 to 4,000 meters. You have to be fit but there’s no age limit with this sport. For example, Dilys Price from Cardiff went on her first jump aged 54. The minute she came down, she wanted to go up again. She said: “It was so attractive”.
Some adventures have invented base jumping, in which people jump from tall structures, such as buildings or bridges, with a parachute. Many of their jumps aren’t legal, especially in the cities.Dan Witchalls has jumped off The Shard —London’s 310 meter-high building four times.He says, “Base jumping is scarier than jumping out of a plane. In a plane there is no sense of height, but when you are standing on the edge of the building you can see people and cars, the experience makes it very real.”
It seems there’s no shortage of imagination when it comes to risking life to look cool and get the heart beating wildly. Surfing, diving, rock climbing ...And how about extreme ironing That is, pressing your clothes on top of a mountain! Extreme ironing is said to have been created in the 1990s in England by a man who saw a large amount of wrinkled clothes and felt bored when doing the cloth ironing. That man was Phil Shaw. For him, the excitement of this sport comes from looking at the viewers’ faces. Shaw says, “Sometimes they look confused; sometimes they laugh. It’s fun to see how people react to it.”
8. What does the author think about mountain biking
A. A bit boring. B. Challenging indeed.
C. Great fun. D. Not very hard.
9. What does the author want to show with the example in paragraph 3
A. Skydivers have to be very healthy. B. Skydiving is not challenging enough.
C. Elderly people can also take up skydiving. D. People can easily become crazy about skydiving.
10. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The sense of height. B. Base jumping experience.
C. The edge of the building. D. Jumping out of a plane.
11. Why did Phil Shaw invent extreme ironing
A. He liked ironing clothes. B. He wanted to make clothes ironing more fun.
C. He enjoyed different looks on people's faces. D. He had a good view standing on top of a mountain.
D
Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose—to make a call Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects
“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic. “The reflex(习惯性动作) of answering—20th-century telephonic culture—is gone.”
The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction gifs, links and even voice message s can be a more attractive option.
Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.
In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are automate(自动化的) messages from organizations verifying(核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to You Mail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.
As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit Early landline phones unified family members, whereas mobile phone s isolate(隔离) them.
“The shared family phone served as an anchor for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. “With smart phones, we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been weakened, as has its ability to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps connect families more closely,” Fernandez said.
Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.
12. What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its attraction according to the text
A. People’s growing need for privacy. B. People’s addiction to social media.
C. People’s wide range of communication choices. D. People’s preference for robocalls.
13. What can we infer from Fernandez’s remark
A. The use of mobile phone has affected family relationship.
B. Smart phones help people monitor family behavior.
C. Smart phones make families closer.
D. The value of home depends on how phones are used.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to the effects of the disappearing telephone culture
A. Uninterested. B. Objective. C. Positive. D. Disapproving.
15 What does the article mainly talk about
A. The past and future of telephone.
B. The development of communication tools.
C. The downfall of traditional telephone culture.
D. The relation between phone use and family connection.

【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了在阿姆斯特丹进行自行车租赁和雇佣导游的操作方式，价格等细节。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We offer the newest bicycles in a wide variety, including basic bikes with foot brake (刹车), bikes with hand brake and gears (排挡), bikes with child seats, and children’s bikes. (我们提供种类繁多的最新自行车，包括有脚刹的基本自行车、有手刹和带排挡的自行车、带儿童座椅的自行车和儿童自行车)”可推知，MacBike的优势是它提供许多类型的自行车。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据定价表可知，租一辆带手刹和三档的自行车一天需要14.75欧元，额外增加天数每天8欧元。所以租一辆带手刹和三档的自行车两天需要14.75+8=22.75欧元。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The tour departs from Dam Square every hour on the hour, starting at 1:00 pm every day. (旅游团每小时从大坝广场出发，每天下午1点开始)”可知，导游城市之旅从大坝广场开始。故选D。

A day’s work was rewarded with 5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.”
Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit (存款) when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.”
With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over that coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around 823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. Two fifths wish to increase the value of their house. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge.
4. Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1
A An artist. B. A winner. C. An expert. D. A pioneer.
5. Why did Terri’s grandfather give her 5 a day
A. For a birthday gift. B. To encourage her to take up a hobby.
C. To support her DIY projects. D. As a treat for her work.
6. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented
A By making it look like before. B. By making furniture herself.
C. By sharing the rent with a roommate. D. By ending the rental agreement.
7. What trend in DIY does the research show
A. It is becoming more costly. B. It is gaining popularity among females.
C. It is turning into a seasonal industry. D. It is getting more time-consuming.

Tired of your quiet day-to-day life How about leaving your computer games behind and taking up an extreme sport
You can ride a bicycle, right In that case you’re halfway to becoming a mountain biker. All you have to do is take your bike off the road and try some hilly areas. Mountain biking was developed in California in the 1970s and became an Olympic sport in 1996.
Not challenging enough Skydivers jump from planes at a height of 1,000 to 4,000 meters. You have to be fit but there’s no age limit with this sport. For example, Dilys Price from Cardiff went on her first jump aged 54. The minute she came down, she wanted to go up again. She said: “It was so attractive”.
Some adventures have invented base jumping, in which people jump from tall structures, such as buildings or bridges, with a parachute. Many of their jumps aren’t legal, especially in the cities.Dan Witchalls has jumped off The Shard —London’s 310 meter-high building four times.He says, “Base jumping is scarier than jumping out of a plane. In a plane there is no sense of height, but when you are standing on the edge of the building you can see people and cars, the experience makes it very real.”
It seems there’s no shortage of imagination when it comes to risking life to look cool and get the heart beating wildly. Surfing, diving, rock climbing ...And how about extreme ironing That is, pressing your clothes on top of a mountain! Extreme ironing is said to have been created in the 1990s in England by a man who saw a large amount of wrinkled clothes and felt bored when doing the cloth ironing. That man was Phil Shaw. For him, the excitement of this sport comes from looking at the viewers’ faces. Shaw says, “Sometimes they look confused; sometimes they laugh. It’s fun to see how people react to it.”
8. What does the author think about mountain biking
A. A bit boring. B. Challenging indeed.
C. Great fun. D. Not very hard.
9. What does the author want to show with the example in paragraph 3
A. Skydivers have to be very healthy. B. Skydiving is not challenging enough.
C. Elderly people can also take up skydiving. D. People can easily become crazy about skydiving.
10. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The sense of height. B. Base jumping experience.
C. The edge of the building. D. Jumping out of a plane.
11. Why did Phil Shaw invent extreme ironing
A. He liked ironing clothes. B. He wanted to make clothes ironing more fun.
C. He enjoyed different looks on people's faces. D. He had a good view standing on top of a mountain.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些极限运动，有山地自行车、跳伞、定点跳伞和富有想象力的极限熨衣。
8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“All you have to do is take your bike off the road and try some hilly areas.( 你所要做的就是把你的自行车从公路上移开，去一些丘陵地区试试)以及第三段中“Not challenging enough (不够有挑战性？)”可推知，作者认为山地自行车不是很难。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“You have to be fit but there’s no age limit with this sport. For example, Dilys Price from Cardiff went on her first jump aged 54.(这项运动没有年龄限制，但是你必须健康。例如，来自加的夫的Dilys Price在54岁时进行了第一次跳伞)”可推知，作者想用第三段的例子来说明老年人也可以参加跳伞活动。故选C。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“In a plane there is no sense of height, but when you are standing on the edge of the building you can see people and cars, the experience makes”可知在飞机上并没有高度感，但当你站在建筑物的边缘，你可以看到人和汽车，这种体验让高度感变得非常真实。故it指的是“高度感”。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Extreme ironing is said to have been created in the 1990s in England by a man who saw a large amount of wrinkled clothes and felt bored when doing the cloth ironing.(“极限熨衣”据说是20世纪90年代英国的一位男士发明的，他看到很多起皱的衣服，觉得熨烫衣服很无聊)”可推知，Phil Shaw发明了“极限熨衣”是因为他想让熨衣服更有趣。故选B。
D
Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose—to make a call Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects
“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic. “The reflex(习惯性动作) of answering—20th-century telephonic culture—is gone.”
The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction gifs, links and even voice message s can be a more attractive option.
Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.
In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are automate(自动化的) messages from organizations verifying(核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to You Mail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.
As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit Early landline phones unified family members, whereas mobile phone s isolate(隔离) them.
“The shared family phone served as an anchor for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. “With smart phones, we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been weakened, as has its ability to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps connect families more closely,” Fernandez said.
Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.
12. What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its attraction according to the text
A. People’s growing need for privacy. B. People’s addiction to social media.
C. People’s wide range of communication choices. D. People’s preference for robocalls.
13. What can we infer from Fernandez’s remark
A. The use of mobile phone has affected family relationship.
B. Smart phones help people monitor family behavior.
C. Smart phones make families closer.
D. The value of home depends on how phones are used.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to the effects of the disappearing telephone culture
A. Uninterested. B. Objective. C. Positive. D. Disapproving.
15. What does the article mainly talk about
A. The past and future of telephone.
B. The development of communication tools.
C. The downfall of traditional telephone culture.
D. The relation between phone use and family connection.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电话文化正在消失，并分析了电话文化消失背后的原因以及影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction gifs, links and even voice message s can be a more attractive option.(当然，这种转变在很大程度上是由于有了更多的交流选择：用短信发送照片、视频、表情符号、表情包、链接，甚至语音信息都成为了更有吸引力的选择)”可知，使用传统手机电话的习俗消失是因为人们有了更多的交流的选择，故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““The shared family phone served as an anchor for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. “With smart phones, we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been weakened, as has its ability to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps connect families more closely,” Fernandez said.(韦伯州立大学计算机科学教授Luke Fernandez是《无聊、孤独、愤怒、愚蠢:从《每日电讯报》到Twitter对科技的感受》一书的合著者，他说：“共用的家庭电话就像家的锚一样。有了智能手机，我们获得了移动性和隐私。但是，房屋的价值已经被削弱了，它指导和监督家庭行为的能力也被削弱了，也许还削弱了家庭之间更紧密联系的能力。”)”可推知，从Fernandez说的话中可以得知手机的使用影响了家庭关系。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.(当然了，随着科技的进步，生活总是要么变得更好，要么更糟。随着电话文化的丧失，家庭需要找到其他的方式来团结起来)”可推知，作者对正在消失的电话文化的影响持客观态度。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose—to make a call Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects (现在每个人的口袋里都有一部手机，但是我们有多少次真正使用它的初衷——打电话呢？电话文化正在消失。是什么把我们带到这个时刻，它的影响是什么？)”结合文章主要介绍了电话文化正在消失并分析了电话文化消失背后的原因以及影响。可推知，整篇文章讲解了传统电话文化正在消失。故选C。

【答案】responsibility
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：作为老师，鼓励学生努力学习是我的责任。分析句子可知，空处作句子的表语，空前有形容词性物主代词my，名词responsibility“责任”符合题意。故填responsibility。
52. ________ (compare) to big companies, the smaller ones are faced with more challenges. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Compared
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：与大公司相比，小公司面临着更多的挑战。分析句子可知，compare是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语the smaller ones之间是被动关系，应用过去分词表被动；句首单词首字母大写。故填Compared。
53. It was his carelessness _________ caused his failure this time. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句。句意：这次失败的原因是他的粗心大意。分析句子结构可知此处为强调句： It is/ was + 被强调部分 + that/ who + 其它部分，被强调部分为his carelessness，故填that。

【答案】印加建筑工人将石头切割成精确的尺寸，这样就不需要任何东西来将墙壁固定在一起，只需要石头的完美配合。
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、从句和时态。句子为一般过去时，涉及so that引导的目的状语从句；主句主语Inca builders译为“印加工人”，谓语动词cut译为“切割”，宾语stones译为“石头”，状语to exact sizes译为“到精准尺寸”；状语从句主语nothing译为 “没有什么”，谓语动词was needed to hold译为“需要来固定”，宾语wall译为“墙”；other than译为“除了”，the perfect fit of the stones译为“石头间的完美契合”。故整句译为：印加建筑工人将石头切割成精确的尺寸，这样就不需要任何东西来将墙壁固定在一起，只需要石头的完美配合。

【解析】
【详解】考查英译汉。主语为Children“孩子”，后跟who引导的定语从句，Children who compete in a sport表示“参加体育比赛的孩子”；will learn how to deal with failure表示“将学会如何处理失败”，为一般将来时；because引导原因状语从句，even though they work hard to master the skills needed for a sport表示“即使他们努力掌握了一项运动所需的技能”，even though引导让步状语从句；it does not mean they will always win.表示“这并不意味着他们总是会赢”。故翻译为：参加体育比赛的孩子将学会如何处理失败，因为即使他们努力掌握了一项运动所需的技能，这并不意味着他们总是会赢。

【答案】They must be athletes who are masters in their sports and also set good examples for others.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和固定短语。主语为they，表示“必须是”应用must be，后跟复数名词athletes，作表语；表示“所在运动项目上的大师”应用who引导定语从句，翻译为who are masters in their sports；表示“给他人树立了良好的榜样”短语为set good examples for others，为一般现在时。故翻译为They must be athletes who are masters in their sports and also set good examples for others.
60. 我会为大学或是未来任何其他的事情做好充分准备(宾语从句)(汉译英)
【答案】I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.
【解析】
【详解】考查一般将来时和宾语从句。根据汉语提示，表示“为某事会做好充分准备”用be well prepared for sth，此处表示动作发生在将来，故使用一般将来时；表示“大学”用university；表示“未来任何其他的事情”用whatever else comes in the future，使用whatever引导宾语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，表示“无论什么”，从句表述客观事实，故使用一般现在时。故翻译为I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to know you are coming to China during the winter holidays. Here is the travel plan I’ve prepared for you. Beijing is the first choice. In my view, Beijing is an amazing city with a long history.
First, we are planning to visit the Great Wall. It’s often said that he who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. We are also planning to visit the Palace Museum. It is the largest existing palace building in the world. Besides, we will enjoy Beijing opera, which will surely help you understand Chinese culture more deeply.
We are going there by plane, leaving on the morning of the first day and arriving in about 4 hours. We will stay there for several days.
Looking forward to your coming!
Yours,
Li Hua
