The Price of a Dream
I grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.
By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).
One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was afraid of this, but my mother said, “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.
I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why I dream of buying my mom a house.
“How much are you going to make at this job, son ” he demanded.
“Three point twenty-five an hour,” I replied.
“Well,” he asked, “is $3. 25 an hour the price of a dream ”
That question exposed the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20, 000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother my dream house.
4. Why was the writer grateful to Coach Jarvis
A. Because Coach Jarvis made him set a goal.
B. Because Coach Jarvis supplied him with new clothes.
C. Because Coach Jarvis gave him financial support.
D. Because Coach Jarvis helped him show conviction.
5. What did the writer want to do when he was offered a job
A. Balance summer baseball and the work schedule.
B. Refuse the job offer for summer baseball.
C. Give up summer baseball for the job.
D. Ask his coach Jarvis for advice.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.” in paragraph 4
A. You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.
B. Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.
C. You must rely on yourself first, then others.
D. A good beginning makes a good ending.
7. What did the writer do at the end of the story
A. He failed to buy his mother a house.
B. He succeeded as a sportsman.
C. He became a successful businessman.
D. He made some money in the summer job.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B

The entire country struggled with the unprecedented heat of the July 2022 heatwave, but for the disabled, the heat hit even harder. The climate crisis is a threat to everyone’s health, but according to a report in 2021, people with disabilities are more delicate to the extreme weather events and natural disasters that result from the climate crisis.
Professor Kristie Ebi of the Centre for Health and the Global at the University of Washington, described the topic of heatwaves and disabled people as being an important issue. “Groups at higher risk during periods of high temperature include people with chronic (慢性的) medical conditions, people who take certain medications that can reduce the ability of the body to sweat, and the “disabled”, notes Ebi, going on to describe the different threats that heatwaves pose for different types of disabilities. Ebi notes the difficulty people with mobility issues or blindness may have with accessing services, such as cooling shelters, Ebi also comments on the importance of making messaging on the dangers of high temperatures accessible to those with learning disabilities or to deaf people. “Some studies suggest higher rates of suicide and other mental health issues during heatwaves, requiring targeted help for those with mental disabilities,” she added.
Ailsa Speak, a disability and lifestyle blogger, experiences uncontrollable movements in the heat due to her cerebral palsy (脑瘫). “As you can imagine, when my involuntary movements increase, I get even hotter. It’s just a painful circle really.”
In the absence of a concrete set of plans for people with disabilities during the climate crisis and extreme weather events, people with disabilities continue to be at increased risk of heat-related disease.
To prevent future death and destruction, the Climate Change Committee (CCC), an independent organization tackling climate change, advocates for adaptation planning, as the temperature is set to rise further due to the climate crisis and global warming. The CCC’s 2022 report on the health risks of overheating offers adaptation options to the government to ensure that buildings are fit for future climate change. Nevertheless, the publication does not offer specific advice about people with disabilities and overheating, which thus remains to be discussed promptly and thoroughly.
8. Which of the following would Professor Ebi most probably agree with
A. Heatwaves make people with chronic diseases suffer most
B. The mentally disabled have no access to cooling shelter
C. Mobility disability contributes to higher risk of suicide in the heatwaves
D. Some disabled people are ill-informed about the risks of heatwaves
9. Why does the author mention Ailsa Speak
A. To share a disabled blogger’s painful life
B. To show what a terrible disease cerebral palsy is
C. To illustrate the trouble the disabled have in the heat
D. To prove the never-before-seen highs in temperature
10. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to
A. suggest methods of helping the disabled in heatwaves
B. stress the urgent need to care for the disabled in the heat
C. tell readers how severe the July 2022 heatwave was
D. introduce adaptation alternatives for future buildings
11. Where does this passage probably come from
A. The newspaper. B. A fiction novel C. A biography D. A chemical paper
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了热浪侵袭对残疾人的影响巨大,呼吁高温下更要照顾好残疾人。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后二句“Ebi also comments on the importance of making messaging on the dangers of high temperatures accessible to those with learning disabilities or to deaf people. Some studies suggest higher rates of suicide and other mental health issues during heatwaves, requiring targeted help for those with mental disabilities”(Ebi还说明向有学习障碍的人或聋哑人提供高温危险信息的重要性。一些研究表明,在热浪期间,自杀率和其他精神健康问题更高,需要为精神残疾人士提供有针对性的帮助)可知,Ebi认为向残疾人士提供高温危险信息非常重要,一些有精神疾病的残疾人因为缺乏帮助和信息导致热浪期间,自杀率和其他精神健康问题更高,说明一些残疾人不了解热浪的危害。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Ailsa Speak, a disability and lifestyle blogger, experiences uncontrollable movements in the heat due to her cerebral palsy. “As you can imagine, when my involuntary movements increase, I get even hotter. It’s just a painful circle really.””(残疾和生活方式博主Ailsa Speak由于脑瘫,在炎热的天气里会出现无法控制的动作。“你可以想象,当我的无意识动作增加时,我变得更热了。这真的是一个痛苦的循环。”)可知,举Ailsa Speak的例子是为了具体说明残疾人在高温下的烦恼。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“The climate crisis is a threat to everyone’s health, but according to a report in 2021, people with disabilities are more delicate to the extreme weather events and natural disasters that result from the climate crisis.”(气候危机威胁着每个人的健康,但根据2021年的一份报告,残疾人更容易受到气候危机导致的极端天气事件和自然灾害的影响。)及最后一段最后一句“Nevertheless, the publication does not offer specific advice about people with disabilities and overheating, which thus remains to be discussed promptly and thoroughly.”(然而,该出版物并没有提供关于残疾人和热浪侵袭的具体建议,因此,这仍有待及时和彻底的讨论。)并结合文章对于残疾人在高温下的烦恼的具体说明可知,本文主要是为了强调在高温下照顾残疾人的迫切需要。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The entire country struggled with the unprecedented heat of the July 2022 heatwave, but for the disabled, the heat hit even harder. The climate crisis is a threat to everyone’s health, but according to a report in 2021, people with disabilities are more delicate to the extreme weather events and natural disasters that result from the climate crisis.”(整个国家都在与2022年7月前所未有的热浪作斗争,但对残疾人来说,热浪的打击更加严重。气候危机威胁着每个人的健康,但根据2021年的一份报告,残疾人更容易受到气候危机导致的极端天气事件和自然灾害的影响。)可知,本文主要介绍了热浪侵袭对残疾人的影响,属于时事文章,应选自报刊。故选A项。
D
Human speech contains more than 2,000 different sounds, from the common “m” and “a” to the rare clicks of some southern African languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others A ground-breaking, five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world’s languages.
More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals, such as “f” and “v”, were more common in the languages of societies that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and why this trend arose.
They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned (对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws changed to an overbite structure (结构), making it easier to produce such sounds.
The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period. Food became easier to chew at this point. The jawbone didn’t have to do as much work and so didn’t grow to be so large.
Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age, with the use of “f” and “v” increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years. These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer people today.
This research overturns the popular view that all human speech sounds were present when human beings evolved around 300,000 years ago. “The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution,” said Steven Moran, a member of the research team.
12. Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damián Blasi’s research focus on
A. Its variety. B. Its distribution. C. Its quantity. D. Its development.
13. Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals
A. They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.
B. They could not open and close their lips easily.
C. Their jaws were not conveniently structured.
D. Their lower front teeth were not large enough.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Supporting evidence for the research results.
B. Potential application of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.
15. What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds
A. It is key to effective communication. B. It contributes much to cultural diversity.
C. It is a complex and dynamic system. D. It drives the evolution of human beings.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍因为饮食的改变导致了现在在世界上一半的语言中发现了新的语音。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals, such as “f” and “v”, were more common in the languages of societies that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damian Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and why this trend arose.(30多年前,学者Charles Hockett注意到,被称为唇齿音的语音,如“f”和“v”,在吃软食物的社会的语言中更常见。现在,瑞士苏黎世大学的Damian Blasi领导的一组研究人员发现了这一趋势产生的方式和原因)”可知,Damian Blasi的研究关注的是这一趋势是如何产生的以及产生的原因,可知他的研究重点是在语言的演变上。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned, making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws changed to an overbite structure , making it easier to produce such sounds.(他们发现,古人类的上门牙和下门牙是对齐的,因此很难产生唇齿音,唇齿音是通过下唇接触上牙齿而形成的。后来,我们的下颚变成了覆盖咬合结构,更容易发出这样的声音)”可知,因为古代成年人因为上下门牙是对齐的,他们的下颚结构跟现在的我们不一样,这就导致他们发不出这个唇齿音,也就是说他们的下颚结构使他们很难发出唇齿音。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the so Neolithic age, with the use of “f” and “v”increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years. These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer people today.(对语言数据库的分析也证实,在新石器时代之后,世界语言的发音发生了全球性的变化,在过去几千年里,“f”和“v”的使用显著增加。这些声音在今天许多狩猎采集者的语言中仍然没有发现)”可知,此段主要是通过介绍语言数据库的分析结果来证实语音是发生了很大变化,有些以前使用的语音,现在不一定找得到,因此此处主要是通过相关证据进一步证明研究结果。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution,” said Steven Moran, a member of the research team.(研究小组成员Steven Moran说:“自从人类出现以来,我们使用的语音不一定保持稳定,我们今天发现的各种语音都是生物变化和文化进化等复杂相互作用的产物。”)”可知,人类的语意一直在发展变化中,并不会一成不变,而且会因生物变化和文化变化等进行复杂的相互作用而改变,因此可知Steven Moran认为语音是一个复杂的动态系统。故选C项。

【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型,表语从句,虚拟语气和固定短语。“仿佛……”是固定句型It seems/seemed as if...,as if引导的是表语从句,整句话描述过去的事情,seem用过去式,“世界末日即将来临”是与事实相反的情况,“即将来临”用过去进行时表将来,虚拟语气中的be动词用were,“世界末日即将来临”也就是世界即将结束,“结束”是come to an end,“世界”是the world,因此整句话翻译为“It seemed as if the world were coming to an end”。故答案为It seemed as if the world were coming to an end!
47. 尽管历经浮沉,这幢建筑仍旧状况完好。(汉译英)
【答案】Despite its ups and downs, the building is still in good condition.
【解析】

【答案】Changchun is the city where most of the students in our class were born.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和定语从句。“主语”Changchun,主句描述现在的客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语是单数,be动词使用is,表语“城市”the city,后接定语从句修饰名词city,从句主语“我们班大多数同学们”most of the students in our class,“出生”be born,从句描述过去的一般情况,使用一般过去时,主语是复数,be动词使用were,先行词the city指地点,关系词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导定语从句。故翻译为Changchun is the city where most of the students in our class were born.

【详解】考查时态和定语从句。The earthquake“地震”,为定语从句的先行词,关系代词为that,作定语从句的主语, happened in Tangshan in 1976为“发生在1976年”。shocked the people all over the world翻译为“使全世界人民感到震惊”为一般过去时。故翻译为:发生在1976年的唐山地震使全世界人民感到震惊。
50. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed, I added healthy foods to my meals. (英译汉)

【详解】考查短语、从句和句子结构。分析句子可知,“rather than”应是介词短语,含义为“而不是”;“rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed”在句中作状语,其中“cutting out”译为“删掉,放弃”;“I enjoyed”为“the foods”的定语从句,先行词在从句中作宾语,关系词可省略,因此“rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed”译为“而不是放弃我喜欢的食物”;主句“I added healthy foods to my meals”为“主谓宾状”结构,其中主语为“I”,译为“我”;谓语动词“added”译为“添加”;宾语“healthy foods”译为“健康食品”;状语“to my meals”译为“向我的饮食中”,因此主句译为“我向我的饮食中添加了健康食品”。故本句可译为:而不是放弃我喜欢的食物,(而是)我向我的饮食中加入健康的食物。

The Price of a Dream
I grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.
By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).
One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was afraid of this, but my mother said, “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.
I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why I dream of buying my mom a house.
“How much are you going to make at this job, son ” he demanded.
“Three point twenty-five an hour,” I replied.
“Well,” he asked, “is $3. 25 an hour the price of a dream ”
That question exposed the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20, 000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother my dream house.
4. Why was the writer grateful to Coach Jarvis
A. Because Coach Jarvis made him set a goal.
B. Because Coach Jarvis supplied him with new clothes.
C. Because Coach Jarvis gave him financial support.
D. Because Coach Jarvis helped him show conviction.
5. What did the writer want to do when he was offered a job
A. Balance summer baseball and the work schedule.
B. Refuse the job offer for summer baseball.
C. Give up summer baseball for the job.
D. Ask his coach Jarvis for advice.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.” in paragraph 4
A. You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.
B. Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.
C. You must rely on yourself first, then others.
D. A good beginning makes a good ending.
7. What did the writer do at the end of the story
A. He failed to buy his mother a house.
B. He succeeded as a sportsman.
C. He became a successful businessman.
D. He made some money in the summer job.
C
The entire country struggled with the unprecedented heat of the July 2022 heatwave, but for the disabled, the heat hit even harder. The climate crisis is a threat to everyone’s health, but according to a report in 2021, people with disabilities are more delicate to the extreme weather events and natural disasters that result from the climate crisis.
Professor Kristie Ebi of the Centre for Health and the Global at the University of Washington, described the topic of heatwaves and disabled people as being an important issue. “Groups at higher risk during periods of high temperature include people with chronic (慢性的) medical conditions, people who take certain medications that can reduce the ability of the body to sweat, and the “disabled”, notes Ebi, going on to describe the different threats that heatwaves pose for different types of disabilities. Ebi notes the difficulty people with mobility issues or blindness may have with accessing services, such as cooling shelters, Ebi also comments on the importance of making messaging on the dangers of high temperatures accessible to those with learning disabilities or to deaf people. “Some studies suggest higher rates of suicide and other mental health issues during heatwaves, requiring targeted help for those with mental disabilities,” she added.
Ailsa Speak, a disability and lifestyle blogger, experiences uncontrollable movements in the heat due to her cerebral palsy (脑瘫). “As you can imagine, when my involuntary movements increase, I get even hotter. It’s just a painful circle really.”
In the absence of a concrete set of plans for people with disabilities during the climate crisis and extreme weather events, people with disabilities continue to be at increased risk of heat-related disease.
To prevent future death and destruction, the Climate Change Committee (CCC), an independent organization tackling climate change, advocates for adaptation planning, as the temperature is set to rise further due to the climate crisis and global warming. The CCC’s 2022 report on the health risks of overheating offers adaptation options to the government to ensure that buildings are fit for future climate change. Nevertheless, the publication does not offer specific advice about people with disabilities and overheating, which thus remains to be discussed promptly and thoroughly.
8. Which of the following would Professor Ebi most probably agree with
A. Heatwaves make people with chronic diseases suffer most
B. The mentally disabled have no access to cooling shelter
C. Mobility disability contributes to higher risk of suicide in the heatwaves
D Some disabled people are ill-informed about the risks of heatwaves
9. Why does the author mention Ailsa Speak
A. To share a disabled blogger’s painful life
B. To show what a terrible disease cerebral palsy is
C. To illustrate the trouble the disabled have in the heat
D. To prove the never-before-seen highs in temperature
10. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to
A. suggest methods of helping the disabled in heatwaves
B. stress the urgent need to care for the disabled in the heat
C. tell readers how severe the July 2022 heatwave was
D. introduce adaptation alternatives for future buildings
11. Where does this passage probably come from
A. The newspaper. B. A fiction novel C. A biography D. A chemical paper
D
Human speech contains more than 2,000 different sounds, from the common “m” and “a” to the rare clicks of some southern African languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others A ground-breaking, five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world’s languages.
More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals, such as “f” and “v”, were more common in the languages of societies that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and why this trend arose.
They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned (对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws changed to an overbite structure (结构), making it easier to produce such sounds.
The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period. Food became easier to chew at this point. The jawbone didn’t have to do as much work and so didn’t grow to be so large.
Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age, with the use of “f” and “v” increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years. These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer people today.
This research overturns the popular view that all human speech sounds were present when human beings evolved around 300,000 years ago. “The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution,” said Steven Moran, a member of the research team.
12. Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damián Blasi’s research focus on
A. Its variety. B. Its distribution. C. Its quantity. D. Its development.
13. Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals
A. They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.
B. They could not open and close their lips easily.
C. Their jaws were not conveniently structured.
D Their lower front teeth were not large enough.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Supporting evidence for the research results.
B. Potential application of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.
15. What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds
A. It is key to effective communication. B. It contributes much to cultural diversity.
C. It is a complex and dynamic system. D. It drives the evolution of human beings.
