For many people visiting a wildlife park is a must-have bucket-list item. Few travel experiences can compare with watching wild animals wandering freely in wildlife reserves, enjoying their natural habitat. Here are some of the very best wildlife parks from all around the world.
1. Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
The Masai Marais located in the southwest of Kenya and is one of the most important and well-known wildlife conservation areas in the world. Covering an area of 1,510square kilometers, the Masai Mara National Reserve consists of the grasslands, mountain highlands, lakelands and valley.

Once upon a time, in a little village called Charmington, there lived ashy and unconfident girl named Lily. Lily was a kind-hearted soul, but her lack of self-assurance (自信) often led her to doubt her own beauty and worth.
One sunny day, as Lily wandered through the streets of Charmington, she came across a charming little shop filled with shining hair accessories (配饰). Among the treasures, her eyes were attracted by a lovely bow (蝴蝶结) that seemed to callout to her.
Despite her hesitation, something inside Lily told her to take a small act of self-expression and pay for the bow. She bought it and gently put it in her hair. At that very moment, a magical transformation (变化) took place. Lily felt a burst of confidence, as if the bow had given her a newfound confidence and charm.
Excited about her new accessory, Lily confidently walked down the busy streets of Charmington, unaware that the bow had slipped and dropped unnoticed from her hair. Her newfound confidence made her feel beautiful inside and out.
As Lily walked, something amazing began to happen. People passing by couldn’t help but notice her beauty, the warmth that shined from herself. Strangers smiled at her, complimenting (赞美) heron her look and bright smile.
Confused by their compliments, Lily touched her hair, only to realize that the bow was missing. Instead of feeling embarrassed or disheartened, she couldn’t help but be amazed by the power of her own confidence.
Lily began to understand that true beauty lies not in outside decorations but in self-assurance and grace. It was her confidence that had caught the attention and admiration of those around her.
4. What was the biggest challenge for Lily
A. She was not beautiful. B. She lived in a tiny village.
C. She was shy and unconfident. D. She was too poor to buy accessories.
5. What happened to Lily’s new bow
A. It was stolen. B. It slipped from her hair.
C. It turned to be a jewelry. D. It was transformed by magic.
6. What was Lily’s final attitude towards herself
A. Confident. B. In different. C. Objective. D. Negative.
7. What’s the most important lesson of the passage

Everybody likes to laugh sometimes, whether at a funny joke, an amusing incident or a humorous photograph or sound. The great thing is that once we’ve had a good laugh, we feel happier. It would seem therefore, that bringing a bit of humour into more serious situations might be good for us.
Places like a humourless office or a tense classroom could sometimes need a good dose of laughter. I know that in my workplace, a bit of hilarity can go a long way towards making it a more enjoyable place to spend eight or so hours a day. Seeing the funny side of things can certainly lift our spirits and that in turn can make us feel better about what we’re doing.
Maybe we should get inspiration from Steve Carlisle, president of General Motors of Canada. When he walks around the firm’s Ontario headquarters he shares his sense of humour to bond (与……建立密切联系) with his staff. He says, “It can help people feel more relaxed, more comfortable and thus be more effective at what they do.” Humour can be used by teachers in the classroom too. It’s a good way to break the ice with students and create a more relaxed atmosphere which is good for learning.
But we have to be careful; not everyone laughs at the same things. While some of us may admire a work colleague or fellow student for their clever and well-told joke, others may consider them sarcastic (讽刺的), offensive or just an idiot!
According to Professor Schweitzer, from the University of Philadelphia’s Wharton School, a worker or boss who successfully uses humour is seen as both confident and competent, which in turn increases his or her status. He says, “Being funny is taking a risk, and being risky shows confidence.”
8. What does the underlined word “hilarity” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Humour. B. Horror. C. Stress. D. Time-off.
9. What can we infer from the passage
A. Bad jokes can have positive effects. B. People are always admired for their jokes.
C. Humour can help employees get more effective. D. Seriousness can have a bad impact on your health.
10. What do we know about Steve Carlisle
A. He likes telling jokes to his employees.
B. He uses his humour to break ice with students.
C. He often leaves his office to watch over his staff.
D. He considers humour a reflection of confidence and competence.
11 In which column will you probably find the text in a magazine
A. History. B. Lifestyle. C. Travel. D. Sport.
D
Starting this December, multiple popular Chinese apps and websites such as WeChat, Taobao and Douyin will be redesigned to make them more senior-friendly.
These redesigns are aimed at solving challenges faced by the elderly in using new smart phones. Specifically, the measures include: launching senior-friendly products with easy-to-use interfaces(界面); and improving the accuracy(精确度)of dialect-recognition systems to allow the elderly who can’t speak Mandarin(普通话) to use voice commands. Also, on apps set to “senior mode,” there will be no mobile advertisement, or any design that leads people to extra payments; and people over 65 will be able to reach a customer services assistant over the phone without the need to follow difficult voice instructions or type text through keypad(小键盘).
Nowadays, people in China use their cellphones for everything: Ordering taxis, making payments, booking train tickets and ordering take away. However, among the 274 million senior cellphone users in China, nearly 140 million don’t have internet access or never enjoyed the benefits of a smartphone.
As smart technology becomes increasingly widespread, the elderly can sometimes run into problems. For example, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a “health code” is required to enter public places in China. However, this has made it difficult for many senior citizens to get around if they don’t know how to use a smartphone or the “health code.” Therefore, recently, the call for solving the difficulties that the elderly face when using smart technology has become stronger in China.
Making websites and apps more senior-friendly is a new campaign started by the Chinese government to make the elderly’s life easier. According to reports, 115 websites and 43 apps are planning to rollout barrier-free designs for the elderly this year. Many have described these new changes as truly heartwarming.
12. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2
A. The benefits of smartphones.
B. The advanced technologies of mobile apps.
C. The problems facing the elderly when using smart phones.
D. The newly-designed functions of smartphones for the elderly.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. People cannot make payment without a cellphone.
B. There are still a lot of people who don’t own a cellphone.
C. A large number of old people haven’t benefited from smartphones.
D. Almost all the senior people are afraid of using smartphone technologies.
14. What specific difficulty have the elderly faced in using smart technology, particularly during the COVID-19
A. They don’t have a smartphone.
B. They can’t apply for a “health code”.
C. They are not familiar with smartphone use.
D. They are not allowed to enter public places.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for this text
A. Senior-Friendly Changes of Apps
B. What You Can’t Miss about New Apps
C. How the Elderly are Troubled by Technologies
D. The Appropriate Ways of Respecting the Elderly

If you’ve ever driven a car on an icy road in wintertime, you know that it can be very dangerous. Driving on an icy road is much more dangerous than driving on a dry road.____16____
When you drive a car on an icy road where there is less friction (摩擦力), it’s more difficult to keep control of the car. So, it’s important to know how to stop the car from going out of control. Many drivers will try to stop the car by stepping down hard on the brakes (刹车). This is a bad thing to do because stopping the wheels quickly will make the car slide even further and faster.____17____.
____18____If you take your foot off the gas pedal (油门), the car will slow down immediately, but it won’t add power to the direction of the slide.
Next, touch the brakes very lightly and then let go. Touch the brakes again lightly and then let go.____19____.This method of slowing down will allow you to slow the car down without adding power to the slide.
Third, while you’re pumping the brakes gently, turn the steering wheel (方向盘) in the same direction as the slide.____20____.By doing this, you’ll make the car straight again. You have to keep turning the wheel gently until the car becomes straight, or parallel to the road.
By following these three steps, you should be able to keep control of your car if it should happen to slide.
A. First, lift your foot from the gas pedal
B. The reason is that there is less friction on an icy road
C. Here’s the best way to handle the car if it starts to slide
D. This repeated action is called “pumping the brake slightly”
E. So obviously, stepping down on the brakes is a bad thing to do
F. The engine of the car gives power to the back wheels of the car
G. For example, if the back of the car slides right, turn the steering wheel right

Everybody likes to laugh sometimes, whether at a funny joke, an amusing incident or a humorous photograph or sound. The great thing is that once we’ve had a good laugh, we feel happier. It would seem therefore, that bringing a bit of humour into more serious situations might be good for us.
Places like a humourless office or a tense classroom could sometimes need a good dose of laughter. I know that in my workplace, a bit of hilarity can go a long way towards making it a more enjoyable place to spend eight or so hours a day. Seeing the funny side of things can certainly lift our spirits and that in turn can make us feel better about what we’re doing.
Maybe we should get inspiration from Steve Carlisle, president of General Motors of Canada. When he walks around the firm’s Ontario headquarters he shares his sense of humour to bond (与……建立密切联系) with his staff. He says, “It can help people feel more relaxed, more comfortable and thus be more effective at what they do.” Humour can be used by teachers in the classroom too. It’s a good way to break the ice with students and create a more relaxed atmosphere which is good for learning.
But we have to be careful; not everyone laughs at the same things. While some of us may admire a work colleague or fellow student for their clever and well-told joke, others may consider them sarcastic (讽刺的), offensive or just an idiot!
According to Professor Schweitzer, from the University of Philadelphia’s Wharton School, a worker or boss who successfully uses humour is seen as both confident and competent, which in turn increases his or her status. He says, “Being funny is taking a risk, and being risky shows confidence.”
8. What does the underlined word “hilarity” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Humour. B. Horror. C. Stress. D. Time-off.
9. What can we infer from the passage
A. Bad jokes can have positive effects. B. People are always admired for their jokes.
C. Humour can help employees get more effective. D. Seriousness can have a bad impact on your health.
10. What do we know about Steve Carlisle
A He likes telling jokes to his employees.
B. He uses his humour to break ice with students.
C. He often leaves his office to watch over his staff.
D. He considers humour a reflection of confidence and competence.
11. In which column will you probably find the text in a magazine
A. History. B. Lifestyle. C. Travel. D. Sport.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When he walks around the firm’s Ontario headquarters he shares his sense of humour to bond (与……建立密切联系) with his staff.

Starting this December, multiple popular Chinese apps and websites such as WeChat, Taobao and Douyin will be redesigned to make them more senior-friendly.
These redesigns are aimed at solving challenges faced by the elderly in using new smart phones. Specifically, the measures include: launching senior-friendly products with easy-to-use interfaces(界面); and improving the accuracy(精确度)of dialect-recognition systems to allow the elderly who can’t speak Mandarin(普通话) to use voice commands. Also, on apps set to “senior mode,” there will be no mobile advertisement, or any design that leads people to extra payments; and people over 65 will be able to reach a customer services assistant over the phone without the need to follow difficult voice instructions or type text through keypad(小键盘).
Nowadays people in China use their cellphones for everything: Ordering taxis, making payments, booking train tickets and ordering take away. However, among the 274 million senior cellphone users in China, nearly 140 million don’t have internet access or never enjoyed the benefits of a smartphone.
As smart technology becomes increasingly widespread, the elderly can sometimes run into problems. For example, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a “health code” is required to enter public places in China. However, this has made it difficult for many senior citizens to get around if they don’t know how to use a smartphone or the “health code.” Therefore, recently, the call for solving the difficulties that the elderly face when using smart technology has become stronger in China.
Making websites and apps more senior-friendly is a new campaign started by the Chinese government to make the elderly’s life easier. According to reports, 115 websites and 43 apps are planning to rollout barrier-free designs for the elderly this year. Many have described these new changes as truly heartwarming.
12. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2
A. The benefits of smartphones.
B. The advanced technologies of mobile apps.
C. The problems facing the elderly when using smart phones.
D. The newly-designed functions of smartphones for the elderly.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. People cannot make payment without a cellphone.
B. There are still a lot of people who don’t own a cellphone.
C. A large number of old people haven’t benefited from smartphones.
D. Almost all the senior people are afraid of using smartphone technologies.
14. What specific difficulty have the elderly faced in using smart technology, particularly during the COVID-19
A. They don’t have a smartphone.
B. They can’t apply for a “health code”.
C. They are not familiar with smartphone use.
D. They are not allowed to enter public places.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for this text
A. Senior-Friendly Changes of Apps
B. What You Can’t Miss about New Apps
C. How the Elderly are Troubled by Technologies
D. The Appropriate Ways of Respecting the Elderly
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“For example, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a “health code” is required to enter public places in China. However, this has made it difficult for many senior citizens to get around if they don’t know how to use a smartphone or the “health code.””（例如，由于新冠肺炎疫情，在中国，进入公共场所需要“健康码”。然而，这使得许多不知道如何使用智能手机或“健康码”的老年人很难四处走动。）可知，特别是在COVID-19期间，老年人在使用智能技术方面面临的具体困难是他们不熟悉智能手机的使用。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Starting this December, multiple popular Chinese apps and websites such as WeChat, Taobao and Douyin will be redesigned to make them more senior-friendly.”（从今年12月开始，微信、淘宝和抖音等多个流行的中国应用程序和网站将重新设计，使它们更适合老年人。）可知，本文主要介绍了一些智能手机应用为了给老年人带来便利而推出的新设计。所以短文的标题为“适合老年人的应用程序的改变”。故选A项。

If you’ve ever driven a car on an icy road in wintertime you know that it can be very dangerous. Driving on an icy road is much more dangerous than driving on a dry road.____16____
When you drive a car on an icy road where there is less friction (摩擦力), it’s more difficult to keep control of the car. So, it’s important to know how to stop the car from going out of control. Many drivers will try to stop the car by stepping down hard on the brakes (刹车). This is a bad thing to do because stopping the wheels quickly will make the car slide even further and faster.____17____.
____18____If you take your foot off the gas pedal (油门), the car will slow down immediately, but it won’t add power to the direction of the slide.
Next, touch the brakes very lightly and then let go. Touch the brakes again lightly and then let go.____19____.This method of slowing down will allow you to slow the car down without adding power to the slide.
Third, while you’re pumping the brakes gently, turn the steering wheel (方向盘) in the same direction as the slide.____20____.By doing this, you’ll make the car straight again. You have to keep turning the wheel gently until the car becomes straight, or parallel to the road.
By following these three steps, you should be able to keep control of your car if it should happen to slide.
A. First, lift your foot from the gas pedal
B. The reason is that there is less friction on an icy road
C. Here’s the best way to handle the car if it starts to slide
D. This repeated action is called “pumping the brake slightly”
E. So obviously, stepping down on the brakes is a bad thing to do
F. The engine of the car gives power to the back wheels of the car
G. For example, if the back of the car slides right, turn the steering wheel right
【答案】16. B 17. C 18. A 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍在结冰道路行车时的注意事项。

【17题详解】
根据前文“Many drivers will try to stop the car by stepping down hard on the brakes (刹车). This is a bad thing to do because stopping the wheels quickly will make the car slide even further and faster. (许多司机会试图通过猛踩刹车来停车。这是一件不好的事情，因为快速停车会使汽车滑得更远更快。)”及后文分别介绍了三个遇到打滑如何处理的技巧可知，这里介绍汽车打滑的处理方法。所以选择项C“Here’s the best way to handle the car if it starts to slide (如果车子开始打滑，最好的处理方法是这样的。)” 承前启后，与前后文衔接完好。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据后句“If you take your foot off the gas pedal (油门), the car will slow down immediately, but it won’t add power to the direction of the slide. (如果你把脚从油门踏板上移开，汽车会立即减速，但它不会为滑行的方向增加动力。)”可知，应该把脚从油门上移开。所以选择项A“First, lift your foot from the gas pedal (首先，把你的脚从油门上拿开。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Next, touch the brakes very lightly and then let go. Touch the brakes again lightly and then let go. (接下来，轻轻地踩刹车，然后松开。再次轻踩刹车，然后松开。)”可知，通过点刹的方法刹车。所以选择项D“This repeated action is called “pumping the brake slightly”(这种重复的动作被称为“轻轻踩刹车”。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据前句“Third, while you’re pumping the brakes gently, turn the steering wheel (方向盘) in the same direction as the slide. (第三，当你轻轻地踩刹车的时候，把方向盘朝着打滑的方向转动。)”可知，后文举例说明如何调整方向盘的方向与汽车滑动方向相同。所以选择项G“For example, if the back of the car slides right, turn the steering wheel right (例如，如果汽车后部向右滑动，向右转动方向盘。)”承接了前句的意思，故选G。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“厄尔尼诺”现象与全球变暖。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它始于赤道太平洋中部和东部异常温暖的地表水，然后影响全球天气。此处为非限制性定语从句，从句缺主语，所以用关系代词which引导。若填 and，则为并列动词starts和goes。故填which/and。
【37题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：平均每2至7年发生一次，持续9至12个月。9至12个月，应用名词的复数形式。故填months。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：该中心表示，厄尔尼诺和全球变暖的结合将增加极端天气造成气象灾害的机会。此句为复合句，在宾语从句中“would increase”为谓语动词，此处应为非谓语动词。逻辑主语“disasters”与“cause（造成）”之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填caused。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意：自5月以来，厄尔尼诺现象（一直）在东太平洋赤道附近形成。此处应为谓语动词，“system”为单数第三人称，且与建立之间的关系为主动，有完成时标志词“since”，所以用现在完成时或现在完成进行时。故填has built/has been building。
【40题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：研究表明，赤道东太平洋温度每升高1℃，全球年平均气温就会升高0.12℃。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。此处主语“research”为不可数名词，谓语动词应用单数第三人称形式。故填suggests。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：该中心补充说，中等或强烈的厄尔尼诺现象通常会使全球平均地表温度上升约0.1℃至0.22℃。此处要填写的词语修饰后文的动词“rises”，所以应用副词形式。故填usually。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：在谈到对中国的影响时，该中心表示，厄尔尼诺现象往往会给南方地区带来更多的降雨，给北方带来更高的温度。the effect on“对……的影响”，故填 on。
【43题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意：在谈到对中国的影响时，该中心表示，厄尔尼诺现象往往会给南方地区带来更多的降雨，给北方带来更高的温度。根据句意及“and”前面的“more rainfall”可知，此处应为形容词的比较级形式。故填 warmer。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：该中心副主任贾晓龙在11月初的新闻发布会上说，统计数据显示，在厄尔尼诺事件的背景下，冬季气温波动很大，影响中国的寒潮次数往往比平时多。此处应填不定冠词a，泛指“在一场新闻发布会上”。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：预计将面临雪灾，与过去相比，供暖需求增加，导致能源消耗暂时达到峰值。本句中“is expected”为谓语动词，此处应为非谓语动词。be expected to do“有望发生某事”。故填to face。

It hadn’t changed until Victor arrived. No one would have said that Victor or his dad looked like tough guys: they were skinny and had no muscles. However, this was what Victor said to Ramon when Ramon went up to him to make him afraid.
“Hey new kid. You should know that I’m the leader, and I’m the toughest guy here.”
“You might be the leader but I am the toughest guy here.”

“This girl is a friend of mine and I am the toughest guy in school. So she won’t give you her sandwich”— were Victor’s last words before the blows started raining down on him.
His third beating came when he didn’t want to hand over his own sandwich.
“Tough guys like my dad and me don’t steal from others, and you are supposed to be a tough guy too ” he replied.
Victor got hit regularly, but he never backed down. His bravery in defending those weaker than him began to impress the rest of his classmates, and he soon gained supporters. Lots of other children began to play with him, so Ramon had even fewer chances to hit Victor and his friends, and fewer and fewer children were scared of Ramon. New brave boys and girls appeared who copied Victor’s attitude, and the playground became a better place.
One day, at the school door, Ramon’s giant dad asked him who Victor was.

【答案】范文
That wasn’t the first time that Ramon got hit, but it was the first time that Victor’s dad was there to stop it happening. “Tough guys like us don’t hit kids, right ” said Victor’s dad, placing himself between them. Ramon’s father thought about hitting him, but he noticed that the small, thin man was very sure of himself, and that lots of families were there to stick up for him. After all, he was right. Hitting kids did not appear to be what tough guys did.
That was when Ramon’s dad understood why Victor said that his own father was a tough guy. A real tough guy is one brave enough to put up with anything bad that comes his way and stand up for what is right. Ramon’s dad wanted to be that tough too. And so, that day, they chatted all afternoon and left as friends, having learnt that being a tough guy is about what’s inside, because that is where tough guys get their strength from to cope with and fight unfairness. The school now has tough guys, real tough guys: ones capable of putting up with anything that comes their way in standing up for what is right.
