Just Cycle and Fold away
There’s no excuse not to get on your bike this spring. Get your indoor cycling fix and feel the benefits. Great for general cardio (有氧的)fitness, exercise bikes can be a brilliant way of training at home. However, choosing the right bike is incredibly important, which is something that Roger Black and his team recognized when creating the Roger Black Folding Bike.
“Excellent value for money. Especially the ability to fold the exercise bike into a vertical(直立的)position and wheel it away for storage. This can also prevent you from throwing your clothes on it at the end of the day! Even if we are limited on space at home and work, we can continue physical activity with a Roger Black Folding Bike. This bike is helping me achieve my fitness goals following a recent running injury.”
——Brian Smith “
Best Present EVER are the words from my 77-year-old father who received his Roger Black fitness bike for his birthday. He said it is so simple and easy to use. The seat is VERY comfortable, so using it every day is a pleasure. It folds away nearly so it can be stored behind a door when necessary.”

Learning Chinese could be one of the most important decisions you ever make. Chinese is becoming the language to learn in the 21st century. With the world’s largest population and a rapidly growing middle class, China stands to become the engine of the world’s economy in the coming years. This will make learning Chinese very important for people in many industries, or for those of us who wish to visit China or learn from its culture and history.
There is an ongoing effort to modernize the writing system and standardize the language. An increasing number of people learning Chinese are learning the Mandarin, so unless you absolutely need to learn another dialect (such as Cantonese), be sure you are studying Mandarin.
For native English speakers Chinese is one of the most difficult and most different languages to learn. The vocabulary is wholly unfamiliar and unlike anything we know. In addition, in the Chinese tone system, words are spoken in rising or falling tones, which help to distinguish between them. Furthermore, there is the Chinese writing system — a collection of thousands of individual ideograms (表意文字), or symbols, which represent a word or an idea. These ideograms have no phonetic value — that is to say, we can’t tell how the word is pronounced by how it is written. There is a method to present written Chinese in a phonetic script called pinyin. If you are learning Chinese, you’ll be working with this pinyin system, but the beauty of the traditional writing system shouldn’t be passed up. All these factors make learning Chinese difficult for us. Yet, for a determined learner, there’s always a way to overcome it.
4. Learning Chinese is becoming more and more important because ________ .
A. Chinese engines are very welcome
B. China has the world’s largest population
C. there are more and more rich people in China
D. China has become important to the world economy
5. From the text we can learn that ________.
A. the author thinks Chinese is as difficult as English
B. the author is interested in the Chinese language and its culture
C. foreign languages can play a great role in industrial development
D. as long as the pinyin system is learned well, one can learn Chinese well
6. The last paragraph mainly tells us about________.
A. the difficulties of learning Chinese B. the advantages of learning Chinese
C. the Chinese tone system D. the Chinese writing system
7. What would be probably written following this text
A. The sources of Chinese characters. B. The importance of learning Chinese.
C The advice on how to learn Chinese. D. The difficulties of learning other languages.
C
A few weeks ago, my teenage daughter Lisa failed a test. The grade might stop her from qualifying for the next class she wants to take. There were tears and some complaints for a few minutes. Then I saw something interesting. She made a joke, expressed gratitude that she didn’t have bigger problems, and finally made a plan on how to make improvements.
She was never the same as she was one year ago. That one was unwilling to take responsibility. That one stayed in anger and blamed others. We expect our kids to learn and grow. We hope for it. However, most of us grow through adversity (逆境), even trauma (精神创伤). It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly. She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day. Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth.
Trauma refers to an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, attack, natural disaster, or other life-changing happenings. The growth after trauma doesn’t mean we get through challenges uninjured. It’s been a scary and painful time, for everyone, in one way or another. We may experience disbelief, depression, and even denial. As time moves on, people who have experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical symptoms, emotional ups and downs, and even relationship problems. Trauma does leave its irremovable marks.
However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic. 88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes—They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life.
8. What is Lisa like now when she fails
A. She tries to cover it.
B. She is positive and adult.
C. She acts unconcerned.
D. She wants to make excuses.
9. What does the author intend to tell us through Lisa’s experience
A. There is no sweet without sweat.
B. Experience is the father of wisdom.
C. Difficult situations are likely to make one stronger.
D. Responsibility is often more important than ability.
10. How does the author prove his view
A. By analyzing existing data.
B. By quoting a psychologist.
C. By contrasting a person’s constant changes.
D. By giving examples together with study results.
11. Which of the following may the author agree with about post-traumatic growth
A. It usually comes at a high price.
B. It produces little negative feelings.
C. It is one of the fastest ways to make improvements.
D. It is growth that does both good and harm.
D
A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a combination of unusually heavy rains and rapid snow melt. The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated. Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.
The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.
Park officials have begun work on improving an alternative road to Gardiner. This will ensure that locals can access food supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.
Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely. But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd (奇数的) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even (偶数的) numbers can go on even days.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is home to many unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.
12. What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Tracked. B. Separated.
C. Decorated. D. Improved.
13. What was the possible result of the flood
A. Gardiner’s economy would get into trouble.
B. Communities and homes were left in ruins.
C. Almost 900 people were trapped in the park.
D. The park’s south gate was closed for a while.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. Local people can get daily necessities from visitors.
B. The park has adopted a new system to recognize faces.
C. The license plate number decides when cars enter the park.
D. More tourists may flood into the park for geological features.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Flooding Has Caused Widespread Damage in the US
B. Yellowstone National Park Was Closed due to Flooding
C. Natural Beauty Makes Yellowstone America’s Oldest Park
D. Yellowstone National Park Partially Reopens After Flooding

These ideograms have no phonetic value — that is to say, we can’t tell how the word is pronounced by how it is written. There is a method to present written Chinese in a phonetic script called pinyin. If you are learning Chinese, you’ll be working with this pinyin system, but the beauty of the traditional writing system shouldn’t be passed up. All these factors make learning Chinese difficult for us. Yet, for a determined learner, there’s always a way to overcome it.
4. Learning Chinese is becoming more and more important, because ________ .
A. Chinese engines are very welcome
B. China has the world’s largest population
C. there are more and more rich people in China
D. China has become important to the world economy
5. From the text we can learn that ________.
A. the author thinks Chinese is as difficult as English
B. the author is interested in the Chinese language and its culture
C. foreign languages can play a great role in industrial development
D. as long as the pinyin system is learned well, one can learn Chinese well
6. The last paragraph mainly tells us about________.
A. the difficulties of learning Chinese B. the advantages of learning Chinese
C. the Chinese tone system D. the Chinese writing system
7. What would be probably written following this text
A. The sources of Chinese characters. B. The importance of learning Chinese.

【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了学习汉语的重要性以及学习汉语一些困难之处。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“With the world’s largest population and a rapidly growing middle class, China stands to become the engine of the world’s economy in the coming years. This will make learning Chinese very important for people in many industries, or for those of us who wish to visit China or learn from its culture and history.(拥有世界上最多的人口和快速增长的中产阶级，中国将在未来几年成为世界经济的引擎。这将使学习汉语对许多行业的人，或者对我们这些希望访问中国或学习中国文化和历史的人来说非常重要)”可知，中国已经成为世界经济的重要组成部分，所以学习汉语变得越来越重要，故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In addition, in the Chinese tone system, words are spoken in rising or falling tones, which help to distinguish between them. Furthermore, there is the Chinese writing system — a collection of thousands of individual ideograms (表意文字), or symbols, which represent a word or an idea. These ideograms have no phonetic value — that is to say, we can’t tell how the word is pronounced by how it is written.(此外，在汉语的声调系统中，单词有上升或下降的音调，这有助于区分它们。此外，还有汉字书写系统——由数千个单独的表意文字或符号组成的集合，这些符号代表一个词或一个想法。这些表意文字没有语音价值——也就是说，我们不能通过单词的书写方式来判断它的发音)”作者对汉语和汉语文字体系的理解可知，作者对汉语和中国文化很感兴趣，故选B。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容，结合本段中“For native English speakers Chinese is one of the most difficult and most different languages to learn.(对于以英语为母语的人来说，汉语是最难学、最不同的语言之一)”和“All these factors make learning Chinese difficult for us.(所有这些因素使我们学习汉语变得困难)”可知，最后一段主要告诉我们学习汉语的困难之处，故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“All these factors make learning Chinese difficult for us. Yet, for a determined learner, there’s always a way to overcome it.(所有这些因素使我们学习汉语变得困难。然而，对于一个坚定的学习者来说，总是有办法克服它的)”可知，学习汉语很困难，但是总有办法克服，由此推测文章接下来可能会给出学习汉语的建议，故选C。
C
A few weeks ago, my teenage daughter Lisa failed a test. The grade might stop her from qualifying for the next class she wants to take. There were tears and some complaints for a few minutes. Then I saw something interesting. She made a joke, expressed gratitude that she didn’t have bigger problems, and finally made a plan on how to make improvements.
She was never the same as she was one year ago. That one was unwilling to take responsibility. That one stayed in anger and blamed others. We expect our kids to learn and grow. We hope for it. However, most of us grow through adversity (逆境), even trauma (精神创伤). It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly. She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day. Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth.
Trauma refers to an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, attack, natural disaster, or other life-changing happenings. The growth after trauma doesn’t mean we get through challenges uninjured. It’s been a scary and painful time, for everyone, in one way or another. We may experience disbelief, depression, and even denial. As time moves on, people who have experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical symptoms, emotional ups and downs, and even relationship problems. Trauma does leave its irremovable marks.
However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic. 88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes—They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life.
8. What is Lisa like now when she fails
A. She tries to cover it.
B. She is positive and adult.
C. She acts unconcerned.
D. She wants to make excuses.
9. What does the author intend to tell us through Lisa’s experience
A. There is no sweet without sweat.
B. Experience is the father of wisdom.
C. Difficult situations are likely to make one stronger.
D. Responsibility is often more important than ability.
10. How does the author prove his view
A. By analyzing existing data.
B. By quoting a psychologist.
C. By contrasting a person’s constant changes.
D. By giving examples together with study results.
11. Which of the following may the author agree with about post-traumatic growth
A. It usually comes at a high price.
B. It produces little negative feelings.
C. It is one of the fastest ways to make improvements.
D. It is growth that does both good and harm.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。创伤后的成长并不意味着我们能毫发无伤地度过难关，对每个人来说，这都是一段可怕而痛苦的时光，但是作者通过举例子和描绘实验结果来表明，创伤后的成长也会产生积极的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“She made a joke, expressed gratitude that she didn’t have bigger problems, and finally made a plan on how to make improvements.(她开了个玩笑，对自己没有遇到更大的问题表示感谢，最后制定了一个如何改进的计划。)”可知，当Lisa考试失败时，她感谢自己没有遇到更大的问题，然后制定计划如何改进，所以说她表现得很积极理智，故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, most of us grow through adversity (逆境), even trauma (精神创伤). It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly. She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day. Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth(然而，我们大多数人在逆境中成长，甚至在创伤中成长。Lisa去年也经历过很多次。当周围的一切都在发生变化的时候，她想方设法找到自己的方向，装备自己。心理学家称之为创伤后成长。)”可推知，通过Lisa的例子，作者试图告诉我们困境可能使人变得更强，故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, most of us grow through adversity (逆境), even trauma (精神创伤). It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly. She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day.

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The growth after trauma doesn’t mean we get through challenges uninjured. It’s been a scary and painful time, for everyone, in one way or another. We may experience disbelief, depression, and even denial. As time moves on, people who have experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical symptoms, emotional ups and downs, and even relationship problems. Trauma does leave its irremovable marks.(创伤后的成长并不意味着我们能毫发无伤地度过难关。对每个人来说，这都是一段可怕而痛苦的时光。我们可能会经历怀疑、沮丧，甚至否认。随着时间的推移，经历过创伤的人可能会出现头痛或其他身体症状，情绪起伏，甚至是人际关系问题。创伤确实留下了不可移除的痕迹。)”和最后一段“However, in one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic. 88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes—They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life.(然而，在一项研究中，研究人员调查了近385名在大流行期间经济困难的人。88%的受访者表示，他们也经历了一些积极的结果——他们现在有了更牢固的家庭关系，对生活有了更多的认识。)”可知，作者认为创伤后的成长既有好处也有坏处，故选D。

A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a combination of unusually heavy rains and rapid snow melt. The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated. Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.
The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.
Park officials have begun work on improving an alternative road to Gardiner. This will ensure that locals can access food, supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.
Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely. But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd (奇数的) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even (偶数的) numbers can go on even days.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is home to many unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.
12. What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Tracked. B. Separated.
C. Decorated. D. Improved.
13. What was the possible result of the flood
A. Gardiner’s economy would get into trouble.
B. Communities and homes were left in ruins.
C. Almost 900 people were trapped in the park.
D. The park’s south gate was closed for a while.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. Local people can get daily necessities from visitors.
B. The park has adopted a new system to recognize faces.
C. The license plate number decides when cars enter the park.
D. More tourists may flood into the park for geological features.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A Flooding Has Caused Widespread Damage in the US
B. Yellowstone National Park Was Closed due to Flooding
C. Natural Beauty Makes Yellowstone America’s Oldest Park
D. Yellowstone National Park Partially Reopens After Flooding
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。介绍了美国黄石公园在洪水后部分重新部分开放。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段末句“Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.”（幸运的是，大约1万名公园游客被安全疏散），可推测出洪水摧毁了桥梁和道路，使得社区和房屋与外界隔绝，故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.”（蒙大拿州和怀俄明州交界处的加德纳受灾尤其严重。洪水使近900人多日无水无电。每年有近75万游客经过公园北门，加德纳的经济很可能受到冲击。洪水严重破坏了通往黄石公园的主要北入口道路，可能需要数年时间才能重建。）可知，Gardiner的经济依赖于每年通过公园北门进入公园的近75万游客，很可能会受到冲击，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容可知，为防止过度拥挤，公园启动了新的入口系统，奇数车牌号的车辆可以在对应日历奇数的日子进公园，偶数车牌号车辆可以在对应日历偶数的日子进公园，是车牌号决定了车辆进入公园的时间，故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章首段，可知黄石公园遭遇了洪水灾害；根据文章三段末句和第四段内容可知，一旦道路稳定，也会有一定数量的游客被允许进入加德纳，公园也有应对游客参观的新措施。全文讲述了黄石公园在遭遇洪水后中心部分开放，故选D。
第二节：(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。
Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals doesn’t come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.
Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. ___16___
Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are. ____17____ Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve. If he’s stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.
Help keep goals achievable. Don’t throw cold water on your child. ____18____ For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.
___19___ Help your child write down his goals in an easy to follow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is key in keeping him motivated. A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级). ___20___
A. Change goals every so often.
B. Make a visual goal reminder.
C. Don’t always tell him what you think.
D. He’s climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.
E. You can take sports as an example to help explain it to him.
F. Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.
G. When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.
【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文就怎样帮助孩子设定目标给了几个建议。
16题详解】
根据“Explain the word “goal”.”可知本段的主题句是：解释单词“goal”。根据空前“Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life”(当提到足球时，你的孩子可能知道“goal”是什么，但是他可能不理解日常生活中的“goal”意味着什么)选项承接上文，说明怎么做才能让孩子理解“goal”故E（你可以举运动的例子来向他解释“goal”。）切题。故选E项。
【17题详解】
本段主要谈的是听你的孩子说话。空前“Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are.”（理论上，你想让你的孩子为他自己决定目标）根据空后句“Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve.”（让他说说他认为他能把什么做好以及他认为需要改进什么。）可知，选项承接上下文说明让孩子说出自己的想法，所以这里选C（不要总是告诉他你的想法。）切题。Don’t always tell him what you think呼应Let him talk about what he thinks。故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据空“For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.”（例如，你的孩子想成为游泳冠军，但是他还游不了池塘整圈，你可以建议他把这作为他的第一个目标。）可知，选项承接下文，说明要分解目标。break it down into smaller pieces呼应making that his first goal.故G选项（当目标超出他的能力范围时，帮助他把目标分成几步。）切题。故选G项。
【19题详解】
空缺的是本段的主题句，根据空后“Help your child write down his goals in an easy to follow form.”（帮助你的孩子以简单能懂的方式写下他的目标）所以这里选B（制作一个能看见的目标提示。）为本段的小标题。故选B项。
【20题详解】
空前“A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级).”（一个很简单的方法就是在纸上画一个梯子，在顶部写下他的目标，在横木上写下通向目标的每一步）可知选项承接上文说明这么作的作用是什么。故D（他在向顶部爬梯时他在接近目标。）切题。故选D项。

第二节：(共 10 小题，每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词括号内单词的正确形式。

The Great Wall is like a giant stone dragon, ___37___ (run) across the country from the ocean on the east ___38___ the desert on the west.

【答案】36. attractions
37. running
38. to 39. has been built
40. are 41. to prevent
42. impressive
43. However
44. why 45. to travel
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了受西方游客欢迎的旅游景点之一——中国长城。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：中国有无数的有吸引力的地方。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，attract的名词为attraction，可数名词，根据空前的countless可知，此处为名词复数。故填attractions。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：长城就像一条巨大的石龙，从东边的海洋到西边的沙漠蜿蜒而过。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，run与逻辑主语the Great Wall间为主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填running。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：长城就像一条巨大的石龙，从东边的海洋到西边的沙漠蜿蜒而过。from…to…“从……到……”，是固定短语，根据句意，故填to。
