Looking around her childhood neighborhood, Shanta Mack, human resources associate with Entergy couldn’t help but share, “As a teenager, I never saw neighbors or local organizations come to my community to volunteer, but when the request was put out to revitalize (复活) the same streets that I grew up on, I jumped at the opportunity.”
This year, Entergy employee volunteers celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with a series of volunteer events across the New Orleans Metro Area over a three-day weekend. Mack and her sixteen-year-old daughter Aalaina joined the United Way of Southeast Louisiana and other community members to help develop an urban garden and refresh a local playground in the Desire Area.
Mack quickly realized that her old neck of the woods, which was once full of life, did not look the same as it did when she rode bikes with her friends to the local candy store. It was important for her to not only show her college-bound daughter where she grew up, but she also wanted her daughter to experience what it felt like to give back, especially to her own community. “Volunteering with my daughter allows us to bond (联系), but I also want her to take these opportunities to invest (投资) her time when she can, meet new people, learn new skills and gain volunteer hours for her college applications, ”said Mack.
The mother and daughter worked hand-in-hand with other volunteers to build a picnic table for locals to have lunch or rest and a stage for local artists to perform during community festivities.
“The weekend was the perfect opportunity to volunteer and follow Dr. King — and others who have made sacrifices to bring equality and diversity to our communities. I was happy to get out to represent Entergy for MLK Day and will continue to do my part in serving our community, ”said Mack.

Autonomous driving vehicles may sound like science fiction, but they are racing into our daily lives sooner than many expected. Nowadays, people can hail (打车) robotaxis by using ride-hailing apps on their mobile phones in certain areas of Wuzhen, Zhejiang province.
All they need to do is to input pickup and drop-off points and the number of passengers and—a self-driving taxi approaches—with a safety operator sitting behind the wheel to monitor the vehicle for safety.
The vehicle runs smoothly and is capable of fully recognizing stop signs as it automatically decelerates before finally coming to a stop. As traffic lights change from red to green, the taxi moves through the crossings.
Last December, Baidu officially opened its Apollo Park in Wuzhen, which serves as an important R&D, design, application and testing base for autonomous vehicles in the Yangtze River Delta region.
As the fourth demonstration base for intelligent-connected vehicles built by Baidu in China, the park is equipped with facilities such as a vehicle-road coordination (协调) system, remote vehicle control platform, operation center and 5G-powered cockpit control system.
Baidu plans to expand Apollo Go services to 65 cities in 2025, and 100 in 2030, said Robin Li, CEO of the company. “The massively reduced costs will enable us to deploy (调动) tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles across China. We are moving toward a future where taking a robotaxi will be half the cost of taking a taxi today.”
So far, Baidu Apollo’s L4 autonomous vehicles have run more than 36 million kilometers, with 718 autonomous driving permits in China, including 571 for carrying passengers. L4 autonomy means the vehicle can drive by itself under most circumstances, without a human driver.
Baidu Apollo has rolled out robotaxi ride-hailing services in more than 10 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Yang Diange, a professor from the School of Vehicle and Mobility at Tsinghua University, said the commercial operation of self-driving vehicles will promote the innovation of technologies, and help companies explore reasonable business models, thus allowing autonomous driving technologies to create more value.
28. What does the underlined word “decelerate” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Speed up. B. Switch off.
C. Stretch out. D. Slow down.
29. Which contributes to more autonomous vehicles in China
A. Lower cost. B. 5G-powered control system.
C. Ultimate safety. D. Convenient ride-hailing services.
30. What is Yang Diange’s attitude to the commercial operation of self-driving vehicles
A. Cautious. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Baidu, a tech pioneer
B. Baidu and its Apollo Parks
C. Autonomous driving taxis taking market by storm
D. Autonomous driving taxis replacing traditional ones overnight
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了百度计划扩展自动驾驶出租车的范围，推广其服务，自动驾驶出租车席卷市场。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段中的“The vehicle runs smoothly and is capable of fully recognizing stop signs as it automatically decelerates before finally coming to a stop. (车辆运行平稳，能够完全识别停车标志，并在最终停车前自动减速)”可知，结合“fully recognizing stop signs”和“coming to a stop”，停车需要减速，可得出decelerate意为“减速（Slow dow）”。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。由第六段中的“The massively reduced costs will enable us to deploy (调动) tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles across China. (大幅降低的成本将使我们能够在中国各地部署数万辆自动驾驶汽车)”可知，更低的成本使中国有更多的自动驾驶汽车。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“Yang Diange, a professor from the School of Vehicle and Mobility at Tsinghua University, said the commercial operation of self-driving vehicles will promote the innovation of technologies, and help companies explore reasonable business models, thus allowing autonomous driving technologies to create more value. (清华大学车辆与移动学院教授Yang Diange表示，自动驾驶汽车的商业运营将促进技术创新，帮助企业探索合理的商业模式，从而让自动驾驶技术创造更多价值)”可知，Yang Diange认为自动驾驶汽车的商业化运营有好处，可得出他对此持支持态度。故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段中的“Autonomous driving vehicles may sound like science fiction, but they are racing into our daily lives sooner than many expected. (自动驾驶汽车听起来可能像科幻小说，但它们比许多人预期的更快地进入我们的日常生活)”和第六段中的“Baidu plans to expand Apollo Go services to 65 cities in 2025, and 100 in 2030, said Robin Li, CEO of the company. (百度首席执行官李彦宏表示，百度计划2025年将Apollo Go服务扩展到65个城市，2030年将扩展到100个城市)”和倒数第二段“Baidu Apollo has rolled out robotaxi ride-hailing services in more than 10 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. (百度Apollo已在北京、上海、广州和深圳等10多个城市推出了自动打车服务)”可知，文章介绍了百度计划扩展自动驾驶出租车的范围，推广其服务，自动驾驶出租车席卷市场，C项“自动驾驶出租车席卷市场”符合文意。故选C项。

An underwater volcano eruption in Tongaon Saturday (Jan. 15, 2022) was captured as it happened in shocking images from an Earth — watching satellite, showing the great power for the explosive event in the South Pacific. The volcano eruption on the island of Hunga Tonga — Hunga Ha’apai is visible as a spectacular explosion in views from the GOES West Earth — observing satellite operated by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
A video of the eruption shows a vast mass of material from the volcano rising high into the atmosphere like a giant mushroom during the eruption as a shockwave extends outward from Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haapai, one of the 170 islands that make up the South Pacific kingdom of Tonga. The eruption spawned a 4-foot tsunami that hit Tonga’s capital of Nuku’alofa, which is about 40 miles south of the volcano. A deafening noise from the eruption was heard across the Pacific Ocean, reaching as far away as Alaska, according to the Associated Press (AP).
Nuku’alofa was covered in a film of volcanic dust, according to the AP. There have been no official reports of injuries or damage from Tonga’s capital on Jan. 15, 2022, but its Internet access was interrupted by the event, the volcano on Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai first erupted on Dec, 20, 2021 and then exploded with a massive eruption on Jan, 13, which was also spotted by GOES West, NOAA officials said in a statement. That eruption on Jan. 13 was seven times more powerful than the December event and sent a huge mass of ash and gas over 12 miles into Earth’s atmosphere.
Saturday’s eruption also sent an ash mass to an altitude of nearly 12 miles, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told the AP. New Zealand officials hoped to send military flights over the volcano to assess its status, followed by aid and supplies for Tonga, where water supplies may be polluted, Ardern added.
32. Which word can be used to describe the eruption in Tonga on Jan, 15
A. Invisible. B. Powerful. C. Common. D. Beautiful.
33. What does the underlined word “spawned” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Spread. B. Captured. C. Caused. D. Showed
34. What did the volcanic eruption on Jan lead to
A. The dirty atmosphere of Nuku’alofa.
B. The terrible damage in Tonga’s capital.
C. Large numbers of injuries in Tonga.
D. Other volcanic eruptions in Tonga.
35. Why did New Zealand officials hope to send military flights
A. To remove the polluted atmosphere.
B. To provide aid and supplies.
C. To stop the ash and gas erupting out.
D. To learn more details about the volcano.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. B

So, you are interested in becoming a good journalist but don’t know where to start Well, there are ____56____ couple of things you should put on your list of priority.
Firstly, you need to be skilled at writing. The information ____57____ (involve) in a complex story may come from dozens of sources. Good journalists need to organize all this information ____58____ (clear) to give an accurate account of what is happening.
Secondly, you must have a natural curiosity ____59____ things that are happening, even though they may appear to be minor matters. When something newsworthy comes about, it may escape the attention of ordinary people ____60____, good journalists are sensitive enough to notice the event and draw public attention to it.
Finally, good journalists ____61____ (commit) to revealing the truth. According to Noam Chomsky, “The duty of journalists is to tell the truth. Journalism means you go back to the actual ____62____ (fact), you look at the documents, you discover ____63____ the record is, and you report it that way.” To do this, journalists need to investigate an event thoroughly.
____64____ (sum) up, being a good journalist requires writing skills, curiosity and commitment to finding the ____65____ (true). Good luck!
【答案】56. a 57. involved
58. clearly
59. about 60. however
61. are committed
62. facts 63. what
64. To sum 65. truth
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了成为一名优秀的记者所需要具备的一些条件。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：好吧，有几件事你应该放在你优先事项清单上。a couple of是固定短语，意为“一些，几个”，故填a。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一个复杂的故事所涉及的信息可能来自几十个来源。句中谓语是may come，空格处是非谓语动词，information和involve之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作后置定语，故填involved。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意：优秀的记者需要清楚地组织所有这些信息，以准确地描述正在发生的事情。空格处用副词修饰动词organize，clear的副词是clearly，意为“清楚地”，故填clearly。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意：其次，你必须对正在发生的事情有一种天生的好奇心，即使它们看起来是小事。have a curiosity about sth.是固定短语，意为“对某事有好奇心”，因此空格处是介词about。故填about。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：当有新闻价值的事情发生时，它可能逃避了普通人的注意，然而，优秀的记者足够敏感，能够注意到事件并引起公众的注意。由上文“it may escape the attention of ordinary people”和下文“good journalists are sensitive enough to notice the event and draw public attention to it”可知，上下文之间是转折关系，空格处用表转折的however，故填however。
【61题详解】
考查固定短语，时态和主谓一致。句意：最后，优秀的记者致力于揭露真相。be committed to是固定短语，意为“致力于”，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语journalists是复数，因此空格处用are committed。故填are committed。
【62题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：新闻意味着你要回到事实，你要看文件，你要发现记录是什么，然后你就这样报道。fact是可数名词，不止一个事实，因此空格处用复数，故填facts。
【63题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：新闻意味着你要回到事实，你要看文件，你要发现记录是什么，然后你就这样报道。空格处引导的是宾语从句，从句中缺少表语，句子表示“新闻意味着你要回到事实，你要看文件，你要发现记录是什么”，因此空格处用what引导宾语从句，故填what。
【64题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：总之，成为一名优秀的记者需要写作技巧，好奇心和寻找真相的决心。to sum up是固定短语，意为“总之”，位于句首的单词首字母要大写，故填To sum。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：总之，成为一名优秀的记者需要写作技巧，好奇心和寻找真相的决心。空格处用名词作宾语，true的名词是truth，是不可数名词，意为“真相”，故填truth。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tom was a fishing amateur. He once came to a wet place in the roadless forest to fish with his friends William and Tony. They put up their tent upon the top of a pine-clothed mountain and then began fishing. However, none of them was successful fisherman. They were either made lazy by the sun or wet by the rain. After two days of fishing, they got nothing. Finally they ate the last bit of bacon and smoked and burned the last fearful corncake. If they didn’t get anything to eat, they would have to starve.
Immediately Tom volunteered to stay and hold the camp while the remaining two should go miles away to a farmhouse for supplies. Hearing Tom’s suggestion, the two friends gazed at him jokingly. “ There is only one of you-be careful, for bears may appear and keep you company!” Tom didn’t take what they said seriously. Then the two men disappeared down the hill in the known direction of a distant wooden house.
Night came, but the two men did not return. Tom sat close to his companion, the campfire. He lit a cigarette and felt a thousand shadows were about to come towards him. Suddenly he heard the approach of something unknown, rackling the small branches and rustling (使沙沙作响) the dead leaves. Feeling a bit scared, Tom rose slowly to his feet. His cigarette dropped from his mouth and his knees shook with fear. “Hah!” he shouted in a loud voice in the hope of scaring his opponent away. A roar (咆哮) replied and a bear paced into the light of the fire.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

Paragraph 1:
Tom supported himself upon a tree and observed his unexpected visitor.

Paragraph 2:
Tom breathed a sigh of relief
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Tom supported himself upon a tree and observed his unexpected visitor. The bear was obviously a fighter, for the black of his coat had become brown with age. There was confidence in his small, twinkling eyes. Terrified as Tom was, he must save himself. He started running around the campfire, bear chasing after him. He was close to desperation when the tent fell down onto the burning fire, with the bear trapped inside. He then witnessed the burning tent racing in the direction of the lake, disappearing.
Tom breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe it was luck that saved him. Anyway, he was safe now. He rested for a while, rebuilt the fire and waited patiently for his friends. When they came back and saw the tent gone, they asked eagerly what had happened. Tom explained calmly everything as if it had not happened to him. “There is only one of me — and the bear keeps me company!” he said, lighting a cigarette again.

Looking around her childhood neighborhood, Shanta Mack, human resources associate with Entergy couldn’t help but share, “As a teenager, I never saw neighbors or local organizations come to my community to volunteer, but when the request was put out to revitalize (复活) the same streets that I grew up on, I jumped at the opportunity.”
This year, Entergy employee volunteers celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with a series of volunteer events across the New Orleans Metro Area over a three-day weekend. Mack and her sixteen-year-old daughter Aalaina joined the United Way of Southeast Louisiana and other community members to help develop an urban garden and refresh a local playground in the Desire Area.
Mack quickly realized that her old neck of the woods, which was once full of life, did not look the same as it did when she rode bikes with her friends to the local candy store.

The mother and daughter worked hand-in-hand with other volunteers to build a picnic table for locals to have lunch or rest and a stage for local artists to perform during community festivities.
“The weekend was the perfect opportunity to volunteer and follow Dr. King — and others who have made sacrifices to bring equality and diversity to our communities. I was happy to get out to represent Entergy for MLK Day and will continue to do my part in serving our community, ”said Mack.

Autonomous driving vehicles may sound like science fiction, but they are racing into our daily lives sooner than many expected. Nowadays, people can hail (打车) robotaxis by using ride-hailing apps on their mobile phones in certain areas of Wuzhen, Zhejiang province.
All they need to do is to input pickup and drop-off points and the number of passengers and—a self-driving taxi approaches—with a safety operator sitting behind the wheel to monitor the vehicle for safety.
The vehicle runs smoothly and is capable of fully recognizing stop signs as it automatically decelerates before finally coming to a stop. As traffic lights change from red to green, the taxi moves through the crossings.
Last December, Baidu officially opened its Apollo Park in Wuzhen, which serves as an important R&D, design, application and testing base for autonomous vehicles in the Yangtze River Delta region.
As the fourth demonstration base for intelligent-connected vehicles built by Baidu in China, the park is equipped with facilities such as a vehicle-road coordination (协调) system, remote vehicle control platform, operation center and 5G-powered cockpit control system.
Baidu plans to expand Apollo Go services to 65 cities in 2025, and 100 in 2030, said Robin Li, CEO of the company. “The massively reduced costs will enable us to deploy (调动) tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles across China. We are moving toward a future where taking a robotaxi will be half the cost of taking a taxi today.”
So far, Baidu Apollo’s L4 autonomous vehicles have run more than 36 million kilometers, with 718 autonomous driving permits in China, including 571 for carrying passengers. L4 autonomy means the vehicle can drive by itself under most circumstances, without a human driver.
Baidu Apollo has rolled out robotaxi ride-hailing services in more than 10 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Yang Diange, a professor from the School of Vehicle and Mobility at Tsinghua University, said the commercial operation of self-driving vehicles will promote the innovation of technologies, and help companies explore reasonable business models, thus allowing autonomous driving technologies to create more value.
28. What does the underlined word “decelerate” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Speed up. B. Switch off.
C. Stretch out. D. Slow down.
29. Which contributes to more autonomous vehicles in China
A. Lower cost. B. 5G-powered control system.
C. Ultimate safety. D. Convenient ride-hailing services.
30. What is Yang Diange’s attitude to the commercial operation of self-driving vehicles
A. Cautious. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Baidu, a tech pioneer
B. Baidu and its Apollo Parks
C. Autonomous driving taxis taking market by storm
D. Autonomous driving taxis replacing traditional ones overnight

An underwater volcano eruption in Tongaon Saturday (Jan. 15, 2022) was captured as it happened in shocking images from an Earth — watching satellite, showing the great power for the explosive event in the South Pacific. The volcano eruption on the island of Hunga Tonga — Hunga Ha’apai is visible as a spectacular explosion in views from the GOES West Earth — observing satellite operated by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
A video of the eruption shows a vast mass of material from the volcano rising high into the atmosphere like a giant mushroom during the eruption as a shockwave extends outward from Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haapai, one of the 170 islands that make up the South Pacific kingdom of Tonga. The eruption spawned a 4-foot tsunami that hit Tonga’s capital of Nuku’alofa, which is about 40 miles south of the volcano.

That eruption on Jan. 13 was seven times more powerful than the December event and sent a huge mass of ash and gas over 12 miles into Earth’s atmosphere.
Saturday’s eruption also sent an ash mass to an altitude of nearly 12 miles, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told the AP. New Zealand officials hoped to send military flights over the volcano to assess its status, followed by aid and supplies for Tonga, where water supplies may be polluted, Ardern added.

D. Other volcanic eruptions in Tonga.
35. Why did New Zealand officials hope to send military flights
A. To remove the polluted atmosphere.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tom was a fishing amateur. He once came to a wet place in the roadless forest to fish with his friends William and Tony. They put up their tent upon the top of a pine-clothed mountain and then began fishing. However, none of them was successful fisherman. They were either made lazy by the sun or wet by the rain. After two days of fishing, they got nothing. Finally they ate the last bit of bacon and smoked and burned the last fearful corncake. If they didn’t get anything to eat, they would have to starve.
Immediately Tom volunteered to stay and hold the camp while the remaining two should go miles away to a farmhouse for supplies. Hearing Tom’s suggestion, the two friends gazed at him jokingly. “ There is only one of you-be careful, for bears may appear and keep you company!” Tom didn’t take what they said seriously. Then the two men disappeared down the hill in the known direction of a distant wooden house.
Night came, but the two men did not return. Tom sat close to his companion, the campfire. He lit a cigarette and felt a thousand shadows were about to come towards him. Suddenly he heard the approach of something unknown, rackling the small branches and rustling (使沙沙作响) the dead leaves. Feeling a bit scared, Tom rose slowly to his feet. His cigarette dropped from his mouth and his knees shook with fear. “Hah!” he shouted in a loud voice in the hope of scaring his opponent away. A roar (咆哮) replied and a bear paced into the light of the fire.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Tom supported himself upon a tree and observed his unexpected visitor.
