一、阅读理解
For visitors who are on a short weekend visit to the island Bali, here is a tip of how to get the most out of their 48 hours visit.
Friday
3 pm—There is nothing like a good meal. La Lucciola at Seminyak is the place to be, with its good food, great service and a beautiful view of the sea.
5 pm—About an hour away from La Lucciola is Uluwatu. This southern tip of the island is famous for its famous temple that stands on the edge, high above the sea. The fire dance, is performed here daily at sunset.
8 pm—To finish off the evening, head to Jimbaran Bay where restaurants offer candles, local dances and a moving band of boys singing songs on request. Kick off your shoes, feel the sand, and enjoy the fresh seafood.
Saturday
9:30 am—Start the day with another experience of Balinese culture by heading for a dance performance.
12 pm—Kintamani, a favourite with tourists for the panoramic (全景的) view of active volcano Mt. Batur and neighbouring crater lake. It’s a good idea to reach Kintamani early as it tends to get cloudy after 3 pm. Have lunch at a local restaurant with a view of Mt. Batur and the lake. Tourists can catch the sunrise at the Mt. Batur peak.
2:30 pm—Head back to Ubud, the seat of Bali’s fine arts, dance and music, and spend the rest of your afternoon strolling through its streets.
Sunday
6 am—It’s time for a reduce in the sea—and don’t forget the camera.
10:30 am—It’s another half-day trip to two of the most famous temples in Bali. Drive down to the Taman Ayun temple at Mengwi.
12 pm—Next up is the Tanah Lot temple, perhaps the most famous of them all. Built on a rock that gets cut off from the mainland during high tide, the temple is best seen in the afternoon when it is silhouetted (显出轮廓) against the sun or at sunset.
1.From the passage, we know that the fire dance is performed .
A. in Ubud B. every day C. on the sea D. only on weekends
2.Why is it better to go to Kintamani early
A. Because the view of sunrise is better than that of sunset.
B. Because the volcano there is not active in the afternoon.
C. Because the restaurants there close early in the afternoon.
D. Because the weather there is not so good after mid-afternoon.
3.Which is the best place for tourists to have a good time at night
A. La Lucciola. B. Mengwi. C. Jimbaran Bay. D. Puri Saraswati.
A number of people hold a positive attitude toward artificial intelligence’s ability to reshape education nowadays. However, many feel such claims are not trustworthy.
Kentaro Toyama, a professor at the University of Michigan School of Information, is one of those doubtful about the idea of using AI in the classroom.
Toyama mentioned a situation he came across while working in an after-school program in digital literacy. He said,“In trying to teach students to use technology, the greatest difficulty in their learning was the technology itself.” As soon as he looked away from the students, they would “very quickly find the most fun games they could find on the computer and start playing them”. That suggests the problem with putting too much faith in AI for teaching. “There is great potential for it to be a distraction,” he said.
Toyama once surveyed a large group of people about their preference for the following educational scenarios (情景): a school with no teachers but powerful AI,one with bad teachers and no computers, one with bad teachers but strong computers, one with good teachers but no computers, one with good teachers and some computers, or one with great teachers and many computers. The result showed that nobody would send their children to a school with powerful AI but no teachers, or one with bad teachers but strong computers. Toyama concluded “Good teachers are what matters; everything else is secondary compared to that.”
Toyama is also concerned that AI and technology may widen the gap between disadvantaged schools and wealthier schools. He said, “The best way to think about technology is that it amplifies (放大) underlying forces. In the case of schools,well-resourced schools will find the best ways to use technology. But if you’re in a school district that is underfunded and parents are not involved, it doesn’t make a difference how good the technology is, and it will not turn that situation around.”
When asked when schools should adopt AI, Toyama suggested that they should wait until the basics are in place, teachers want it, and the technology is proved to have positive educational value.
4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to
A. AI. B. Faith. C. Teaching. D. Computer.
5.Why does the author mention the survey in Paragraph 4
A. To stress the key factor in education.
B. To recommend his favorite school for parents.
C. To compare the differences between Al and teachers.
D. To prove that preference for schools varies among people.
6.Which of the following statements will Toyama probably agree with
A. Poor parents are troubled by their money problems.
B. AI may completely change teaching and learning one day.
C. It is not the right time to put AI to good use in the classroom.
D. Teachers and technology are equally important to a school.
7.Where is the text probably taken from
A. A novel. B. A report. C. A textbook. D. An announcement.
In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel, the adventure, the danger, and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson. One day, he found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. With the help of the ship’s captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, navigation, history, geography, and many other subjects. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman.
Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him. The shop owner knew about his young employee’s skills and experience on ocean journeys, so he introduced Peary to Henson.
Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman. Peary soon made Henson his assistant (助理), and they became close friends. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true. Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined.
In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot. This would be their last chance. With four Inuit (因纽特) guides, they made a mad rush straight across the ice toward the pole. Peary’s feet were injured and he had to be pulled on a dogsled. In April 1909, Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.
In later years, Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievements. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes’ graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.
8.In paragraph1, the author shows how Henson became ________.
A. a wonderful seaman
B. an educated captain
C. a good shop assistant
D. a successful learner
9.Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
A. why Matthew Henson went to the hat shop
B. how Matthew Henson met Robert Peary
C. why Matthew Henson stopped working on the Katie Hinds
D. how Robert Peary knew Matthew Henson had sea experience
10.The following statements are TRUE except ________.
A. Henson proved himself a better seaman than Peary
B. Peary wanted Henson to help him realize his dream
C. Before their final attempt, they made two trips together
D. After they died they were highly respected by people
11.The story between Henson and Peary could best be compared to ________.
A. treasure hunters looking for fortunes
B. sailors seeking power over others
C. soldiers fighting for their freedom
D. fighters exploring an unknown land
In the early days of covid-19, the tech industry was consumed by a sense of excitement. With billions of people locked down at home, work and play were shifting online. Many hoped that the new normal would spark a huge productivity boom as firms digitized and workers spent less time commuting. The excitement was most evident in stock-markets, where any firm related to this trend saw its share price surge. The tech-heavy NASDAQ rose by 88%.
The crazy has ended. Today the lockdown lunacy index(疯狂指数) — which includes Netflix, a streaming service; Peloton, a maker of fancy exercise bikes; Robin-hood, a stock-trading app; Shopify, and e-commerce platform; and Zoom, a videoconferencing firm - has fallen by more than 80% from its peak.
How worrying is this return to Earth To be sure, some of it reflects gloomier prospects for the global economy. And it is disappointing that two years of digitization and remote work have not provided clear evidence of a productivity boom. Yet there are reasons still to be techno-optimistic. Much of the early enthusiasm may simply have been focused on the wrong types of firm. Though the pandemic darlings have fizzled, the shift towards ever greater digitization continues. The true winners are not the flashy consumer-tech firms, but the companies that provide the infrastructure to enable this shift.
Look beyond the boom and bust of consumer tech, and you see the real successes. The market for the infrastructure technology that underpins people’s daily lives, such as cloud computing, cyber-security and digital payments, is booming. The cloud-computing industry is expected to grow to almost $500bn this year, up from $243bn in 2019. Amazon’s cloud offering, the largest in the world, is still growing at 33% each year. It accounted for three-quarters of the firm’s operating income over the past 12 months, and is propping up the tech giant’s ailing e-commerce business. Its closest rivals are the cloud services of Microsoft and Google. Their annual sales are growing by 40% and 36%, respectively.
Cloudification has created new demands for cybersecurity, another tech winner. The combined revenue at the three largest listed cybersecurity firms has almost doubled since the start of the pandemic. Their market capitalisation has tripled, and has come down only a fraction since the start of the year. Digital payments are another bright spot, thanks to lockdowns and social distancing. Three-quarters of iPhone owners use Apply Pay, up from half in 2019, and nine out of ten American retailers now accept it as a payment method. Almost 200m people in India and China have used some form of digital payment for the first time since the onset of covid.
The bubble may have burst on the pandemic’s darlings, but the drumbeat of digitization continues. The less obvious technologies that provide the underlying infrastructure for the shift are the true beneficiaries of covid. Whether these will fuel a productivity boost one day remains to be seen. But there was more going on during the pandemic than lockdown crazy.
12.According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Tech industry predicted a productivity boom in the lockdown, which proved true.
B. The share prices of customer-tech companies sharply rocketed and then declined.
C. Robinhood is a tech company specializaing in meeting demands for cybersecurity.
D. The prospects of the tech industry are too gloomy to be optimistic.
13.What does the underlined word “fizzled” in paragraph 3 mean
A. emerged B. benefited C. failed D. sustained
14.What can be inferred from the last three paragraphs
A. Digital payment wasn’t available to Indians at all until the start of covid.
B. In the past year, Amazon has mainly depended on its e-commerce business of profits.
C. In the shift of working online, cloudification is no longer optional!
D. The market capitalization of three largest listed cybersecurity firms has kept rising.
15.What is the best title of the article
A. Techno-pessimists Rule the Lockdown.
B. The Lockdown Index Sounds the Alarm.
C. Economic Depression Is Arriving.
D. Tech Losers and Winners of the Pandemic.
二、七选五
16.Live-stream marketing: A rural rags-to-riches story
For many years, quality agricultural products were unable to sell in faraway provinces. ①________ It prevented them from accessing a wider, urban client. In most cases, because farmers failed to directly reach consumers, their heavy physical labor resulted in very little income. In this regard, live-stream marketing may appeal to young migrant workers and convince them to return home in the countryside. ②_______
In Yunnan Province, southwest China, live-stream marketing is currently the most popular way of pushing local products to consumers across the country. ③_______ It is turning the smartphone into a new farming tool by fashioning new shopping centers. Live-streaming has greatly boosted the province’s produce sales in the past two years. We now have a great business model in place, combining products with high-quality live stream platforms and support packages from the government. ④_______ Anyway, the continuous development of live-stream marketing is ready to play a big role in raising rural incomes in relatively backward provinces like Yunnan. E-commerce live-streaming is doing pretty well nowadays, but farm produce only accounts for a small share, mainly due to the lack of experienced hosts and infrastructure in rural areas.
⑤________ How to grow live stream marketing for farm products Short videos or live-streams, the key is to meet consumers’ demand. High-quality products alone aren’t enough; they must consider buyers’ preferences as well.
A. There arises a question.
B. Government policies and guidance should follow up.
C. The expansion of 5G technology is a vital contribution.
D. The biggest barrier is lack of efficient marketing channels.
E. China has a tradition of intensive cultivation and a huge rural population.
F. But we should establish a complete supply chain based on strict standards.
G. Once back they can introduce more digitally advanced approaches to agricultural management.

It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks(裂纹)that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he had broken the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realised she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a box of chocolates out of a drawer and gave him one.
The mother said, ”This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!“
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now with some chocolates in his hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared.

Today the lockdown lunacy index(疯狂指数)—which includes Netflix, a streaming service; Peloton, a maker of fancy exercise bikes; Robin-hood, a stock-trading app; Shopify, and e-commerce platform; and Zoom, a videoconferencing firm - has fallen by more than 80% from its peak.(这种狂热已经结束。如今,包括流媒体服务Netflix、高档健身自行车制造商Peloton、股票交易应用Robinhood、电商平台Shopify以及视频会议公司Zoom在内的“封锁疯狂指数”的股价已经从最高点下跌了80%以上。)”可知消费型科技公司的股价大幅飙升,然后下跌。故选B。
13.答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段最后两句“Though the pandemic darlings have fizzled, the shift towards ever greater digitization continues. The true winners are not the flashy consumer-tech firms, but the companies that provide the infrastructure to enable this shift.(尽管大流行的宠儿已经fizzled,但向越来越大的数字化的转变仍在继续。真正的赢家不是那些华而不实的消费科技公司,而是那些提供基础设施以实现这一转变的公司。)”以及第四段第一句“Look beyond the boom and bust of consumer tech, and you see the real successes.(透过消费型科技的繁荣与萧条,你会看到真正的成功。)”可知句中的“the pandemic darlings”指的是在疫情期间股价疯涨后又下跌的消费型科技公司,再结合划线词所在句子中的“though”以及主句“the shift towards ever greater digitization continues.”可推知fizzled在句中意思与“the real successes”相反,所以C选项fail“失败”符合句意,故选C。
14.答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“The market for the infrastructure technology that underpins people’s daily lives, such as cloud computing, cyber-security and digital payments, is booming. (云计算、网络安全和数字支付等支撑人们日常生活的基础设施技术市场正在蓬勃发展。)”可知云计算是支撑人们日常生活的技术设施技术;结合最后一段“The bubble may have burst on the pandemic’s darlings, but the drumbeat of digitization continues. The less obvious technologies that provide the underlying infrastructure for the shift are the true beneficiaries of covid. Whether these will fuel a productivity boost one day remains to be seen. But there was more going on during the pandemic than lockdown crazy. (对疫情宠儿的泡沫可能已经破灭,但数字化的鼓声仍在继续。那些不那么引人注目的技术为这一转变提供了基础设施,它们才是新冠肺炎的真正受益者。这些是否会在将来的某一天推动生产力的提高,还有待观察。但疫情期间发生的不仅仅是封锁的疯狂行为。)”可知数字化的转变离不开云计算等基础设施技术,故选C。
15.答案:D

32.答案:①measures②it③to present④security⑤the⑥which⑦compared⑧will recover⑨temporarily⑩have been removed
解析:
①考查名词的数。句意:为了应对中国优化的新冠肺炎防控措施,从周三开始,中国交通运输部门已调整措施,进一步畅通交通和物流,人们的出行更加自由。measure“措施”是可数名词,措施不止一个,故此处用其复数形式。故填measures。
②考查固定句型。句意:交通运输部3日发布优化后的《跨地区跨省出行指南》,乘客在公共交通场所不再需要出示核酸检测阴性或健康码。when it comes to...“当谈到,当提到”是固定句型。故填it。
③考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处为require sb. to sth.的被动语态sb. be required to do sth.“某人被要求做某事”,不定式作主语补足语。故填to present。
④考查名词。句意:现在通过安检的旅客可以扫描身份证进入车站,这与疫情前的程序相同。security check“安检”是固定词组,名词security作定语。故填security。
⑤考查冠词。句意同上。same通常和定冠词the搭配,the same procedure“相同的程序”。故填the。
⑥考查定语从句。句意:一位从天津到北京的旅客告诉《北京日报》,周三她的北京健康码恢复正常,这使她能够买到天津到北京的火车票。她说:“与疫情发生前相比,车上的乘客少了,但我相信他们的数量很快就会恢复,因为更多的工作和生产已经恢复。”空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为“that her Beijing health code returned to normal on Wednesday”,从句缺少主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意同上。句中已有谓语动词were,故空处应填非谓语动词,逻辑主语passengers和compare之间为被动关系,应用过去分词,作状语。故填compared。
⑧考查时态。句意同6小题。空处为宾语从句的谓语动词,主句为一般现在时,从句陈述将来发生的事情,应用一般将来时。故填will recover。
⑨考查副词。句意:由于担心高感染风险,河南郑州和内蒙古呼和浩特等地到北京的铁路服务暂时取消,但现已恢复。修饰动词canceled应用提示词的副词形式。故填temporarily。
⑩考查时态。句意:截至目前,北京丰台火车站核酸检测设施已拆除。空处为句子谓语动词,结合语境和时间状语up to now判断为现在完成时,且主语nucleic acid test facilities和remove之间为被动关系,故应用现在完成时的被动语态,主语是复数,故填have been removed。

34.答案:
One possible version:
The mother said, ”This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat! “Hearing her sincere appreciation, Ben flushed, lowered his head and muttered a thank you. Surprisingly, the mother took out another chocolate and pressed it into his hand. ”This one is for the delicate repair work you did to the broken vase. “She also added that she was moved by how much the boy cherished the family possession. At these hearty remarks, Ben felt a flow of shame through his veins, and had to duck his head even lower. The mother then calmly encouraged Ben to reward himself with more chocolates for other merits he had displayed in this event. He did as he was told to, confessing that he was calm when facing the accident.
Now with some chocolates in his hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. His palm and forehead sweating, nervousness welled up inside him. After what seemed a long time, he looked up at his mother, admitted that it was not the cat but he that had broken the vase accidentally and asked for punishment. ”I’m sorry I lied to you, Mum. Please take back the chocolates.“ Feeling so ashamed, Ben couldn’t hold back his tears. He opened his palm wide, ready to return the chocolates. To his surprise, however, his mother placed the whole box of chocolates in his hand, smiling. ”Honesty deserves the best reward, my dear."
解析:
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“妈妈说:“这块巧克力是对你想象力的奖励:一只会开窗户的猫!”可知,第一段可描写妈妈通过用巧克力奖励Ben在这件事上的优点的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“现在手里拿着一些巧克力,男孩的坏态度消失了。”可知,第二段可描写Ben最终承认了错误,受到妈妈的奖励。
