In August 2019, two citizen scientists, Sunniva Sorby and Hilde FalunStrom landed on Spitsbergen, in Norway’s Svalbard island group. They planned to work through the winter, then go home in May 2020. But their ship could not come because of COVID-19 shutdowns. For fourteen months, they lived in a small cabin on an icy island near the North Poles. Sometimes, hurricane-force winds forced freezing air through the cabin’s slats. Once, wind ripped the door open. Sunniva and Hilde couldn’t close it until the storm ended! Between storms, silence settled on the cabin. Then, they could hear the crunch-crunch-crunch of polar bears walking in the snow.
Their days started at 7 am and ended after midnight. Each morning, they wore down-stuffed jackets and pants as they waited for the wood-burning stove to heat the cabin. They cut pieces of freshwater ice to melt for drinking, cooking and bathing. For the stove, they gathered driftwood. They cooked their meals, including pizza! These tasks used up large stretches of each day. They also kept in touch with schools and other groups. They wrote blog entries and answered e-mails. For fun, they danced to music, exercised, practiced yoga and read.
“We are efficient here,” Sunniva wrote. “We have a routine, habits, and systems. We have time for what matters most living safely while making a contribution to our understanding of a changing world.” They conducted lots of experiments. They gathered data on climate change, using a drone (无人机) to measure sea-ice temperatures. They observed wildlife and tested new technologies, including an electric snowmobile.
To stay four extra months, they had to eat smaller amounts of food so they wouldn’t run out. “It was difficult being here, so far away from everything,” Sunniva wrote. “Food, shelter, and warmth are often taken for granted until you are on your own.” But, they wrote, “We have packed our patience, our smiles, and good spirits.” And they enjoyed the adventure, finding ordinary miracles every day.
4. What can we learn about the two scientists on Spitsbergen
A. They lived a boring life there. B. They could always keep the door closed.
C. They brought drinking water with them. D. They stayed in contact with other groups.
5. What did Sunniva and Hilde do according to Paragraph 3

A. Generous. B. Optimistic. C. Sensitive. D. Honest.
7. What does the author want to convey through the two scientists’ story
A. Well begun, half done. B. It’s easier said than done.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Favored by many internet influencers, the city of Zibo, once a sleepy industrial city, has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms. The topic Zibo “barbecue” on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, was played 4.96 billion times since the city stormed the Internet for over a month. On 29 April, Zibo Railway Station saw a record 87,000 train trips to and from the station, according to Chinese news website Caixin.
Local authorities in Zibo have been quick to respond to the sudden flow of visitors. A barbecue zone that can accommodate 10,000 people, featuring live band performances, was built overnight. Volunteers have been dispatched to the railway station to offer advice and recommendations to tourists. Designated (指定的) buses and trains bring tourists to and from the hottest barbecue spots. The government has even threatened to punish profiteering hotels who raise prices by more than 50% .
What makes Zibo barbecue so special is that it does offer a distinctive (独特的) dining experience. The skewers (烤串) are 70-80 percent cooked before they are brought to the table, where diners can finish cooking them on their own stoves, offering an immersive dining experience.
Zibo’s low prices are also appealing. Many college students in Shandong have made concrete plans to enjoy Zibo barbecue at the least cost, and traveling back and forth by train for only 200 yuan ($29.1). So what better way to attract adventurous, hungry college students with a tight budget other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full for only 50 yuan!”
The locals seem happy enough about the arrival of visitors and shy away from hot spots to make space for outsiders, saying they are proud that their hometown has gained nationwide fame.
8. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The history of Zibo.
B. The influence of social media.
C. The newfound popularity of Zibo.
D. The crowdedness of Zibo Railway Station.
9. What makes Zibo barbecue attractive to college students
A. Unique dining experience. B. Convenient transportation.
C. Wonderful performances. D. Affordable prices.
10. What is the local people’s attitude to the arrival of tourists
A. Favorable. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To promote an industrial city.
B. To introduce barbecue in Zibo.
C. To explain how to attract tourists.
D. To show the popularity of barbecue.
D
With kids going back to school, many parents are concerned about how their children will manage their behavior for eight hours a day. They may keep a watchful eye on their phone in case they receive a phone call from the school regarding their children’s behavior. If a child has difficulty controlling his words and behavior, a daily behavior report card may be a helpful option.
A daily behavior report card can be as simple as a chart on the child’s desk where his teacher provides ratings based on his behavior. The chart might be broken down into each class in a day. At the end of each class, the teacher will rate the students based on how well they did in meeting their behavioral goals. For example, a child might get scored on a 1—10 scale. Students will have a goal score to earn after each class. If they earn their goal score, they will get an instant experience-based reward.
Some advantages of the daily behavior report card are that it makes classroom expectations clear and gives kids frequent feedback on how they did and what they need to do to improve next time. While many teachers often promise a reward for good behavior at the end of the school day, this possibility of a reward is often too far for many kids to care. Instead, by offering a more prompt reward after each class that a child’s behavioral goal is met, their motivation level can stay high to control their attention and behavior.
Teachers are busy during the school days. They often have to manage difficult behavior in class and they lose lots of the classroom instruction time. However, using a daily behavior report card may be able to prevent difficult behavior from occurring in the first place. Meanwhile it will also improve the teacher-parent communication, which helps parents track and solve their children’s problems.
12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the daily behavior report card
A. Its basis. B. Its result. C. Its rating. D. Its use.
13. Why can the daily behavior report card help children behave well in class
A. It includes all the study rules in class.
B. It meets the demands of children in class.
C. It offers them expectations and feedback in class.
D. It provides a great reward for those with high scores.
14. What does the underlined word “prompt” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Immediate. B. Reasonable. C. Necessary. D. Minimum.
15. What does the author think of the daily behavior report card
A. Multi-beneficial. B. Universally true. C. Widely available. D. Quite complicated.

Three years ago, Mark moved out of his mother’s house after landing a well -paying job in another city. He thought living 1500 miles away from his elderly mother, Cassandra, would work out because he planned to visit her monthly.
Mark stuck to his visiting plan during the first year. However, with the amount of work increasing, he couldn’t find time to visit his mother monthly. He started to only speak to her on the phone, telling her about his life. Soon, Mark became busy and made a few phone calls to Cassandra. He didn’t even remember the last time they spoke on the phone.
One day, while working in his office, Mark heard his phone ring.
“Mom’s 70th birthday!” the reminder on his phone read.
“Oh, dear. How can I forget my mom’s birthday again ” Mark shook his head as he turned the reminder alarm off. “I can’t keep disappointing her like this. Let me see how fast I can get to her place.”
After checking his work schedule (日程计划), Mark realized that he could make it to his mother’s house by the evening if he left the office in an hour. He quickly finished the work and left the office without wasting another minute.
On his way he stopped at a store and bought his mother’s favorite cake. He also bought her flowers and a few gifts. Although he wanted to call her, Mark thought it would be better to surprise her because he was sure that she wasn’t expecting him to visit her. After all, this was the first time that he had done something like this in a long time.
Mark finally arrived at the mother’s house. However when he knocked at the door, no one answered. Puzzled, he opened the door with his key and entered. Nobody was there. He searched the house worriedly, only to find an envelope covered with dust on the table. Recognizing his mother’s handwriting (笔迹), Mark opened the envelope at once. It turned out that Cassandra had left her house and joined a local retirement community because she felt lonely.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
In the letter, she also expressed her love for Mark and the hope of seeing him.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After asking about his mother at the front desk, he was glad to know she was still there.

In August 2019, two citizen scientists, Sunniva Sorby and Hilde FalunStrom landed on Spitsbergen, in Norway’s Svalbard island group. They planned to work through the winter, then go home in May 2020. But their ship could not come because of COVID-19 shutdowns. For fourteen months, they lived in a small cabin on an icy island near the North Poles. Sometimes, hurricane-force winds forced freezing air through the cabin’s slats. Once, wind ripped the door open. Sunniva and Hilde couldn’t close it until the storm ended! Between storms, silence settled on the cabin. Then, they could hear the crunch-crunch-crunch of polar bears walking in the snow.
Their days started at 7 am and ended after midnight. Each morning, they wore down-stuffed jackets and pants as they waited for the wood-burning stove to heat the cabin. They cut pieces of freshwater ice to melt for drinking, cooking and bathing. For the stove, they gathered driftwood. They cooked their meals, including pizza! These tasks used up large stretches of each day. They also kept in touch with schools and other groups. They wrote blog entries and answered e-mails. For fun, they danced to music, exercised, practiced yoga and read.
“We are efficient here,” Sunniva wrote. “We have a routine, habits, and systems. We have time for what matters most living safely while making a contribution to our understanding of a changing world.” They conducted lots of experiments. They gathered data on climate change, using a drone (无人机) to measure sea-ice temperatures. They observed wildlife and tested new technologies, including an electric snowmobile.
To stay four extra months, they had to eat smaller amounts of food so they wouldn’t run out. “It was difficult being here, so far away from everything,” Sunniva wrote. “Food, shelter, and warmth are often taken for granted until you are on your own.” But, they wrote, “We have packed our patience, our smiles, and good spirits.” And they enjoyed the adventure, finding ordinary miracles every day.
4. What can we learn about the two scientists on Spitsbergen
A. They lived a boring life there. B. They could always keep the door closed.
C. They brought drinking water with them. D. They stayed in contact with other groups.
5. What did Sunniva and Hilde do according to Paragraph 3
A. They watched the wildlife carefully. B. They invented an electric snowmobile.
C. They conducted experiments on drones. D. They collected data of new technologies.
6. Which of the following best describes these two scientists

A. Well begun, half done. B. It’s easier said than done.

Favored by many internet influencers, the city of Zibo, once a sleepy industrial city, has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms. The topic Zibo “barbecue” on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, was played 4.96 billion times since the city stormed the Internet for over a month. On 29 April, Zibo Railway Station saw a record 87,000 train trips to and from the station, according to Chinese news website Caixin.
Local authorities in Zibo have been quick to respond to the sudden flow of visitors. A barbecue zone that can accommodate 10,000 people, featuring live band performances, was built overnight. Volunteers have been dispatched to the railway station to offer advice and recommendations to tourists. Designated (指定的) buses and trains bring tourists to and from the hottest barbecue spots. The government has even threatened to punish profiteering hotels who raise prices by more than 50% .
What makes Zibo barbecue so special is that it does offer a distinctive (独特的) dining experience. The skewers (烤串) are 70-80 percent cooked before they are brought to the table, where diners can finish cooking them on their own stoves, offering an immersive dining experience.
Zibo’s low prices are also appealing. Many college students in Shandong have made concrete plans to enjoy Zibo barbecue at the least cost, and traveling back and forth by train for only 200 yuan ($29.1). So what better way to attract adventurous, hungry college students with a tight budget other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full for only 50 yuan!”
The locals seem happy enough about the arrival of visitors and shy away from hot spots to make space for outsiders, saying they are proud that their hometown has gained nationwide fame.
8. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The history of Zibo.
B. The influence of social media.
C. The newfound popularity of Zibo.
D. The crowdedness of Zibo Railway Station.
9. What makes Zibo barbecue attractive to college students
A. Unique dining experience. B. Convenient transportation.
C. Wonderful performances. D. Affordable prices.
10. What is the local people’s attitude to the arrival of tourists
A. Favorable. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To promote an industrial city.
B. To introduce barbecue in Zibo.
C. To explain how to attract tourists.
D. To show the popularity of barbecue.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B

With kids going back to school, many parents are concerned about how their children will manage their behavior for eight hours a day. They may keep a watchful eye on their phone in case they receive a phone call from the school regarding their children’s behavior. If a child has difficulty controlling his words and behavior, a daily behavior report card may be a helpful option.
A daily behavior report card can be as simple as a chart on the child’s desk where his teacher provides ratings based on his behavior. The chart might be broken down into each class in a day. At the end of each class, the teacher will rate the students based on how well they did in meeting their behavioral goals. For example, a child might get scored on a 1—10 scale. Students will have a goal score to earn after each class. If they earn their goal score, they will get an instant experience-based reward.
Some advantages of the daily behavior report card are that it makes classroom expectations clear and gives kids frequent feedback on how they did and what they need to do to improve next time. While many teachers often promise a reward for good behavior at the end of the school day, this possibility of a reward is often too far for many kids to care. Instead, by offering a more prompt reward after each class that a child’s behavioral goal is met, their motivation level can stay high to control their attention and behavior.
Teachers are busy during the school days. They often have to manage difficult behavior in class and they lose lots of the classroom instruction time. However, using a daily behavior report card may be able to prevent difficult behavior from occurring in the first place. Meanwhile it will also improve the teacher-parent communication, which helps parents track and solve their children’s problems.
12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the daily behavior report card
A. Its basis. B. Its result. C. Its rating. D. Its use.
13. Why can the daily behavior report card help children behave well in class
A. It includes all the study rules in class.
B. It meets the demands of children in class.
C. It offers them expectations and feedback in class.
D. It provides a great reward for those with high scores.
14. What does the underlined word “prompt” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Immediate. B. Reasonable. C. Necessary. D. Minimum.
15. What does the author think of the daily behavior report card
A Multi-beneficial. B. Universally true. C. Widely available. D. Quite complicated.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。如果孩子难以控制自己的言语和行为，每日行为报告卡可能是一个有用的选择。每日行为报告卡可以像孩子桌子上的图表一样简单，老师根据他的行为给他打分。文章主要介绍了每日行为报告卡的好处。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“A daily behavior report card can be as simple as a chart on the child’s desk where his teacher provides ratings based on his behavior. The chart might be broken down into each class in a day. At the end of each class, the teacher will rate the students based on how well they did in meeting their behavioral goals. For example, a child might get scored on a 1—10 scale. Students will have a goal score to earn after each class. If they earn their goal score, they will get an instant experience-based reward.(每日行为报告卡可以很简单，就像孩子桌子上的一张图表，老师根据孩子的行为给他打分。图表可能会在一天之内分解成每个班级。每节课结束时，老师会根据学生在达到行为目标方面的表现给他们打分。例如，一个孩子可能会得到1-10分。每节课后学生将有一个目标分数来赚取。如果他们的目标得分，他们将得到即时的经验为基础的奖励。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了每日行为报告卡的用途，故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some advantages of the daily behavior report card are that it makes classroom expectations clear and gives kids frequent feedback on how they did and what they need to do to improve next time. (每日行为报告卡的一些优点是，它使课堂期望清晰，并给予孩子频繁的反馈，他们是如何做的，他们需要做什么，以改善下一次。)”可知，每日行为报告卡可以在课堂上为学生们提供期望和反馈。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“While many teachers often promise a reward for good behavior at the end of the school day, this possibility of a reward is often too far for many kids to care.(虽然许多老师经常承诺在放学后对学生表现良好的行为给予奖励，但这种奖励的可能性对于许多孩子来说往往太遥远了。)”可知，许多老师经常承诺在放学后对学生表现良好的行为给予奖励，但这种奖励可能性对于许多孩子来说往往太遥远了，即奖励不及时，根据Instead(相反)可知，前后内容相反，结合划线单词所在句子“by offering a more prompt reward after each class that a child’s behavioral goal is met, their motivation level can stay high to control their attention and behavior.(通过在每节课后提供一个更加prompt的奖励，孩子的行为目标得到了满足，他们的动机水平可以保持高，以控制他们的注意力和行为。)”可推知，每日行为报告卡可以在每节课后立即给孩子一个奖励，这使得他们的行为目标得到了满足，由此可知，划线单词意为“及时的，立即的”，与A项“Immediate.(立即的)”意思相近，故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, using a daily behavior report card may be able to prevent difficult behavior from occurring in the first place. Meanwhile it will also improve the teacher-parent communication, which helps parents track and solve their children’s problems.(然而，使用每日行为报告卡可能能够防止困难的行为发生在第一位。同时也可以促进家长和教师之间的沟通，帮助家长跟踪和解决孩子的问题。)”可推知，作者认为每日行为报告卡是有很多好处的，故选A。

Everything Comes at a Price
Success, for the vast majority of people, does not come without hard work. ___17___ You have to push past the obstacles and hold the goal in your mind, realizing that each step forward is one closer to achieving it.
Hard Work Helps You Make Your Luck
If you are an average Joe and simply idle your way through life you are likely just a spectator (观察者) waiting for something to happen or fall into your lap.

Success will not happen suddenly, but with the right amount of strong determination and hard work, your luck tends to get better. ___18___
Hard Work Promotes Discipline

You Harvest What You Sow

A. Life is certainly full of challenges.
B. That is where discipline comes into play.
C. Obtaining success without hard work is impossible.

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文讲述了努力工作和成功是相辅相成的。为了成功, 你必须投入大量时间和精力去努力地工作。努力工作是成功的关键。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Hard work and success go hand in hand.(努力工作和成功是相辅相成的)”以及后文“However, you have to spend a lot of time working hard for success to build up over time gradually.(然而，你必须花费大量的时间努力工作，才能随着时间的推移逐渐建立成功)”可知，C项“Obtaining success without hard work is impossible.(不努力工作就不可能获得成功)”是对前文的进一步说明，且和后文构成转折关系，符合文意。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据本段小标题“Everything Comes at a Price(凡事都有代价)”可知，本段主要讲述任何事，要有付出才有回报，再根据后文“You have to push past the obstacles and hold the goal in your mind, realizing that each step forward is one closer to achieving it.(你必须克服障碍，把目标牢记于心，意识到每前进一步就离实现目标更近一步)”可知，讲述了付出什么，才能成功，所以F项“You have to wake up early and head to work even when you do not feel like it.(你必须早起去工作，即使你不喜欢它)”符合本段主题，都是成功的代价，且结构和后文相同，为同构复现。故选F项。
【18题详解】
分析设空，位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“If you are an average Joe and simply idle your way through life, you are likely just a spectator (观察者) waiting for something to happen or fall into your lap. The truth of the matter is that the odds of this happening are improbable. Success will not happen suddenly, but with the right amount of strong determination and hard work, your luck tends to get better.(如果你是一个普通人，在生活中只是无所事事，你可能只是一个旁观者，等待一些事情发生或落在你的腿上。事情的真相是，这种情况发生的几率是不可能的。成功不会突然发生，但有了适量的坚定决心和努力工作，你的运气就会越来越好)”可知，本段讲述了努力工作会带来好运, 成功不会突然发生, 但有了适量的坚定决心并努力工作, 你的运气才会越来越好，所以D项“When opportunities come your way, do not let them pass you by.(当机会向你走来时，不要让它们与你擦肩而过)”与上文内容相衔接, 是对前文的总结，其中opportunities与luck 相呼应。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据本段的小标题“Hard Work Promotes Discipline(努力工作促进自律)”以及后文“Discipline ensures that you still get up and you are determined to see the result confidently.(自律能让你坚持起来，让你有信心看到结果)”可知，本段讲述了自律对成功的作用，所以B项“That is where discipline comes into play.(这就是纪律发挥作用的地方)”符合本段主题，其中discipline为同词复现。故选B项。
【20题详解】
分析设空，位于段首，应是对小标题的进一步说明，根据小标题“You Harvest What You Sow(一分耕耘，一分收获)”可知，E项“If you invest money over time wisely, you will make a good profit eventually.(如果你长期明智地投资，你最终会获得丰厚的利润)”是对小标题的进一步说明，再根据后文“The same goes for hard work. As you make a big effort each day and focus on your goals, you are consistently approaching your future success. As you begin to see the progress you have made, you will begin to feel a sense of achievement and pride in your work.(这同样适用于努力工作。当你每天付出巨大的努力并专注于你的目标时，你就在不断地接近你未来的成功。当你开始看到自己取得的进步时，你会开始对自己的工作感到成就感和自豪感)”可知，E项是本段的中心句。故选E项。

52. 阅读下面材料，根据内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一片完整的短文。
Three years ago, Mark moved out of his mother’s house after landing a well -paying job in another city. He thought living 1500 miles away from his elderly mother, Cassandra, would work out because he planned to visit her monthly.
Mark stuck to his visiting plan during the first year. However, with the amount of work increasing, he couldn’t find time to visit his mother monthly. He started to only speak to her on the phone, telling her about his life. Soon, Mark became busy and made a few phone calls to Cassandra. He didn’t even remember the last time they spoke on the phone.
One day, while working in his office, Mark heard his phone ring.
“Mom’s 70th birthday!” the reminder on his phone read.
“Oh, dear. How can I forget my mom’s birthday again ” Mark shook his head as he turned the reminder alarm off. “I can’t keep disappointing her like this. Let me see how fast I can get to her place.”
After checking his work schedule (日程计划), Mark realized that he could make it to his mother’s house by the evening if he left the office in an hour. He quickly finished the work and left the office without wasting another minute.
On his way, he stopped at a store and bought his mother’s favorite cake. He also bought her flowers and a few gifts. Although he wanted to call her, Mark thought it would be better to surprise her because he was sure that she wasn’t expecting him to visit her. After all, this was the first time that he had done something like this in a long time.
Mark finally arrived at the mother’s house. However, when he knocked at the door, no one answered. Puzzled, he opened the door with his key and entered. Nobody was there. He searched the house worriedly, only to find an envelope covered with dust on the table. Recognizing his mother’s handwriting (笔迹), Mark opened the envelope at once. It turned out that Cassandra had left her house and joined a local retirement community because she felt lonely.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
In the letter, she also expressed her love for Mark and the hope of seeing him. But since Mark never gave her enough time, she didn’t want to trouble him anymore. Mark felt sorry for not giving enough care and attention to his mother. Tears welled up in his eyes. He immediately rushed out of the house and headed towards the retirement community mentioned in the letter. Upon arrival, he got out of his car, holding the flowers in one hand and the birthday cake in the other.
After asking about his mother at the front desk, he was glad to know she was still there. Seeing his mother, Mark ran to hand her the flowers and hug her tightly, saying how regretful he was for not visiting her earlier. Cassandra was both surprised and happy to see her son suddenly. She patted her son’s back and said she always understood him. Mark celebrated his mother’s birthday with her friends at the retirement community. That day, he realized the importance of having family around and promised to visit his mother regularly, no matter how busy he was.
