Dutch is an official language and is taught in all schools, both English and Spanish are also compulsory(必修的)languages in Aruba’s education system.

Papiamento is an official language alongside Dutch, and it is used regularly in the media and in government.
East Timor
This tiny young nation sits in the far south-eastern comer of the Indonesian Archipelago. Once a colony(殖民地)of Portugal, Timor decided to adopt Portuguese as an official language after independence. The local tongue, Tetum, is the most widely spoken language on the street. In addition, English and Indonesian are used throughout the country, and both are officially recognized as working languages.
India
Hindi and English are the official national languages of India, and the majority of educated Indians have knowledge of both, though English is preferred over Hindi in southern India. Each state in India has its own official language (s), most of which differ from Hindi. These languages are used in the local media and on the street.
South Africa
South Africa has 11 official languages. In many urban areas, English is the lingua franca (通用语). It is also the main language of the government and media, even though less than ten percent of South Africans speak it as a first language.

The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.
4. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1
A. Stress. B. Threat. C. Shame. D. Glory.
5. According to the author, what contributes to her victory in the Softball Throw event
A. Her confidence in her sports skills. B. The efforts she put into exercising.
C. Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D. The strong influence of her father.
6. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood
A. She changed the focus into reading. B. She stuck to working out.
C. She regularly exercised on weekends. D. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To express her love for sports. B. To show her father’s guidance on sports.
C. To stress the advantages of physical exercise. D. To share her childhood memories about sports.
C
You might think of martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down a river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: single bamboo drifting (独竹漂).
Over 2,000 years ago, the high-quality wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court in the north. With no better transportation, people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became single bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Due to various skills it takes for one to master this act, single bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.
Yang Liu, an inheritor (继承者) of single bamboo drifting, learned it at 7. “Usually, the bamboo under our feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in our hands is about 5 meters. If the length of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current (水流) by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell into the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said.
The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. Yang also shows creativity when spreading the culture of single bamboo drifting. For example, she includes dance in single bamboo drifting to make it more graceful. As hanfu culture has been on the rise, Yang started wearing hanfu while performing, creating a more beautiful feel. In 2020, Yang began to post her videos on social media. “I’m extremely proud to get the response from viewers that single bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It’s my mission to keep it alive and make it known to more people,” Yang Liu told China Daily.
8. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A. Nanmu was delivered to the north by land.
B. Single bamboo drifting needs lots of skills.
C. Bamboo was costly in Guizhou over 2,000 years ago.
D. The martial arts movie is a form of cultural heritage.
9. What is the biggest challenge in learning single bamboo drifting
A. Keeping balance on a bamboo pole. B. Maintaining a fixed angle.
C. Finding the proper bamboo. D. Holding the bamboo firmly in hands.
10. What do the viewers think of single bamboo drifting
A. It’s confusing. B. It’s impossible. C. It’s unbelievable. D. It’s effortless.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Balancing with Grace B. Chinese Cultural Heritage
C. A Creative Performer D. Transporting Bamboo down the River
D
Researchers in China have found a new, genetically (基因上) pure species of the critically endangered Chinese giant salamander (中国大鲵) in the wild. The new species was found in a largely undisturbed part of the Jiulingshan National Nature Reserve in Jiangxi Province. The animals are the only known genetically pure, reproducing giant salamander population in its natural habitat in the country. “The discovery of the new species in a closed nature reserve provides hope that other genetically pure species may still exist in other such places,” said Robert Murphy, a professor at the University of Toronto and one of the co-authors of the study.
The Chinese giant salamander is believed to have remained almost unchanged for 170 million years. While Chinese giant salamanders used to be thought of as one species, recent studies have revealed that there are five to eight genetically distinct species in the country. However, the species arc under great threat of extinction due to habitat loss, water pollution and overexploitation (过度开发) of wild populations over the past decades.
Chinese giant salamanders have been protected in China since the 1980s. “After the discovery of multiple species of Chinese giant salamanders, China quickly put into place several actions, such as providing additional funding for critical research, establishing a series of nature reserves for the species, and promoting cooperation between scientists and biologists,” Murphy said.
The researchers are now trying to track down more giant salamanders. Murpby said the discovery opened up new possibilities, such as establishing breeding farms with genetically pure salamanders to help populate ecosystems. In their paper, the researchers also stressed the importance of undisturbed habitats for protecting wildlife. “Closed nature reserves a new pathway for discovering and conserving endangered species,” they said.
12. Why is the new discovery by Chinese researchers important
A. It confirms the need for more independent studies on biodiversity.
B. It proves the genetic transformation of Chinese giant salamanders.
C. It suggests the importance of increasing funding for nature reserves.
D. It indicates the presence of other genetically pure species elsewhere.
13. What can be learned from paragraph 2
A. Some species of Chinese giant salamanders have become extinct.
B. Chinese giant salamander numbers have declined in recent decades.
C. Chinese giant salamanders have remained unchanged for 170 million years.
D. Some breeding programs have been launched to protect Chinese giant salamanders.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. China’s lessons from the past.
B. China’s cooperation with other countries.
C. China’s efforts to protect giant salamanders.
D. China’s ambition to develop new nature reserves.
15. What would the researchers most probably agree with according to the last paragraph
A More closed nature reserves should be established.
B. Traditional conservation methods are more efficient.
C. Mixed breeding can be used to protect endangered species.
D. Large breeding farms are beneficial to the growth of giant salamanders.

I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.

You might think of martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down a river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: single bamboo drifting (独竹漂).
Over 2,000 years ago, the high-quality wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court in the north. With no better transportation, people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became single bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Due to various skills it takes for one to master this act, single bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.
Yang Liu, an inheritor (继承者) of single bamboo drifting, learned it at 7. “Usually, the bamboo under our feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in our hands is about 5 meters. If the length of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current (水流) by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell into the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said.
The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. Yang also shows creativity when spreading the culture of single bamboo drifting. For example, she includes dance in single bamboo drifting to make it more graceful. As hanfu culture has been on the rise, Yang started wearing hanfu while performing, creating a more beautiful feel. In 2020, Yang began to post her videos on social media. “I’m extremely proud to get the response from viewers that single bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It’s my mission to keep it alive and make it known to more people,” Yang Liu told China Daily.
8 What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A. Nanmu was delivered to the north by land.
B. Single bamboo drifting needs lots of skills.
C. Bamboo was costly in Guizhou over 2,000 years ago.
D. The martial arts movie is a form of cultural heritage.
9. What is the biggest challenge in learning single bamboo drifting
A. Keeping balance on a bamboo pole. B. Maintaining a fixed angle.

Researchers in China have found a new, genetically (基因上) pure species of the critically endangered Chinese giant salamander (中国大鲵) in the wild. The new species was found in a largely undisturbed part of the Jiulingshan National Nature Reserve in Jiangxi Province. The animals are the only known genetically pure, reproducing giant salamander population in its natural habitat in the country. “The discovery of the new species in a closed nature reserve provides hope that other genetically pure species may still exist in other such places,” said Robert Murphy, a professor at the University of Toronto and one of the co-authors of the study.
The Chinese giant salamander is believed to have remained almost unchanged for 170 million years. While Chinese giant salamanders used to be thought of as one species, recent studies have revealed that there are five to eight genetically distinct species in the country. However, the species arc under great threat of extinction due to habitat loss, water pollution and overexploitation (过度开发) of wild populations over the past decades.
Chinese giant salamanders have been protected in China since the 1980s. “After the discovery of multiple species of Chinese giant salamanders, China quickly put into place several actions, such as providing additional funding for critical research, establishing a series of nature reserves for the species, and promoting cooperation between scientists and biologists,” Murphy said.
The researchers are now trying to track down more giant salamanders. Murpby said the discovery opened up new possibilities, such as establishing breeding farms with genetically pure salamanders to help populate ecosystems. In their paper, the researchers also stressed the importance of undisturbed habitats for protecting wildlife. “Closed nature reserves a new pathway for discovering and conserving endangered species,” they said.
12. Why is the new discovery by Chinese researchers important
A. It confirms the need for more independent studies on biodiversity.
B. It proves the genetic transformation of Chinese giant salamanders.
C. It suggests the importance of increasing funding for nature reserves.
D. It indicates the presence of other genetically pure species elsewhere.
13. What can be learned from paragraph 2
A. Some species of Chinese giant salamanders have become extinct.
B. Chinese giant salamander numbers have declined in recent decades.
C. Chinese giant salamanders have remained unchanged for 170 million years.
D. Some breeding programs have been launched to protect Chinese giant salamanders.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. China’s lessons from the past.
B. China’s cooperation with other countries.
C. China’s efforts to protect giant salamanders.
D. China’s ambition to develop new nature reserves.
15. What would the researchers most probably agree with according to the last paragraph
A. More closed nature reserves should be established.
B. Traditional conservation methods are more efficient.
C. Mixed breeding can be used to protect endangered species.
D. Large breeding farms are beneficial to the growth of giant salamanders.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述中国的研究人员在野外发现了一种新的、基因纯净的极度濒危的中国大鲵。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The discovery of the new species in a closed nature reserve provides hope that other genetically pure species may still exist in other such places(在一个封闭的自然保护区发现这种新物种，给人们带来了希望，即其他基因纯正的物种可能仍然存在于其他类似的地方)”可知，中国的研究人员发现了中国大鲵之所以重要，是因为它表明在其他类似的地方存在其他基因纯正的物种，故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, the species arc under great threat of extinction due to habitat loss, water pollution and overexploitation (过度开发) of wild populations over the past decades.(然而，在过去的几十年里，由于栖息地丧失、水污染和野生种群的过度开发，该物种面临着灭绝的威胁)”可知，近几十年来，中国大鲵的数量有所下降，故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Chinese giant salamanders have been protected in China since the 1980s. ‘After the discovery of multiple species of Chinese giant salamanders, China quickly put into place several actions, such as providing additional funding for critical research, establishing a series of nature reserves for the species, and promoting cooperation between scientists and biologists,’ Murphy said.(自20世纪80年代以来，中国大鲵就在中国受到保护。‘在发现了多种中国大鲵之后，中国迅速采取了一些行动，比如为关键研究提供额外的资金，为该物种建立一系列自然保护区，促进科学家和生物学家之间的合作。’ Murphy说)”可知，本段主要讲述中国为保护大鲵作出的努力，故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Closed nature reserves a new pathway for discovering and conserving endangered species,’ they said.(他们说：‘封闭的自然保护区为发现和保护濒危物种开辟了一条新途径。’)”可知，研究人员认为封闭的自然保护区为发现和保护濒危物种开辟了一条新途径，故他们最可能同意A项观点“应该建立更多的封闭式自然保护区”，故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了“敦煌女儿”樊锦诗为保护敦煌文物作出的巨大贡献。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这位中国考古学家花了半个多世纪的时间研究和保护位于甘肃省古丝绸之路中心的洞穴，在她的领域里被称为“敦煌女儿”，尽管“保护者”可能是更合适的描述。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是“The Chinese archaeologist”，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who或that引导，故填who/that。
【37题详解】
考查固定短语、时态和主谓一致。句意同上。be known as“被认为是”，固定短语，此处是描述一个事实，应用一般现在时，主语“The Chinese archaeologist”表示单数意义，故填is known。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意同1xi。结合空前的“a more fitting”可知，空处用名词作表语，description“描述”，可数名词，冠词a提示用其单数形式，故填description。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：自20世纪60年代初以来，樊一直在研究这一历史遗址，首先是作为北京大学考古学本科生，然后在1984年成为敦煌研究院副院长后，她成为了一名保护主义者，该研究院的职责是防止这一古老遗址被破坏。此处特指上文提到的“敦煌遗址”，应用定冠词，故填the。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词/名词。句意同上。prevent…from doing sth“阻止……做某事”，动词destroy和“the ancient site”之间是被动关系，故此处用动名词的被动式；此处也可用名词作介词from的宾语，destruction“破坏，毁坏”，不可数名词，故填being destroyed/destruction。

46. D________ the traffic jam, we arrived there on time. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】Despite##espite
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意：尽管交通堵塞，我们还是准时到达了那里。根据句意，“交通堵塞”和“我们还是准时到达了那里”之间语意有转折关系，结合首字母提示，应用介词despite构成介词短语作让步状语，其意为“尽管，即使”；句首单词首字母大写。故填Despite。
47. The organisation was e_________ in 2012 and now it is known to so many local people. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】established##stablished
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意：该组织成立于2012年，现在很多当地人都知道它。根据下文“now it is known to so many local people.(现在很多当地人都知道它)”可知，空白处应填表示“建立”含义的动词，根据首字母提示，以e开头且含义为“建立”的词为establish，分析句子结构，根据空白处前面的助动词was可知，本句使用了被动语态，空白处应填过去分词。故填established。
48. It is still under i_________ who has stolen that priceless painting from the Louvre. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】investigation##nvestigation
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：是谁从卢浮宫偷走了这幅无价的画，目前仍在调查中。根据句意及首字母提示，可知为investigation。设空处在句中作介词的宾语，应用名词的形式，under investigation调查中。故填investigation。
49. Tu Youyou and her team have made a great c________ to the world.(根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】contribution##ontribution
【解析】

50. As a doctor, it’s my responsibility to help people r________ from diseases. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】recover##ecover
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：作为一名医生，帮助人们从疾病中康复是我的责任。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做宾补，使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作，使用动词不定式，根据动词help的用法，在该词后面做宾补的动词不定式，可以省略动词不定式符号to，所以空白处填动词原形，故填recover。
第四部分 写作部分(共两节，满分35分)
第一节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
请根据括号内的提示把下列句子翻译成英语，并写在答题卡相应的位置。
51. 说实话， 是微信(WeChat) 改变了人们日常生活中的交流方式。(强调句型) (汉译英)
【答案】To be honest, it is WeChat that has changed the way that people communicate in their daily lives.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、强调句、定语从句和动词短语。“说实话”是固定短语to be honest，用强调句型强调主语Wechat，“改变”是change，强调动作对现在的影响或结果应该用现在完成时，“方式”用名词way表示，后面可以跟that引导的定语从句表示（……的方式），从句中主语是people，谓语是communicate，“在日常生活中”翻译为in their daily lives，故翻译为To be honest, it is WeChat that has changed the way people communicate in their daily lives.
52. 据说经理已经从巴黎回来了，在那里他会见了一些欧洲伙伴。（用定语从句）（汉译英）
【答案】The manager is said to have arrived back from Paris where he had met some European partners．
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和定语从句。“据说……”用固定句型sb. be said to do...表示，“据说经理……”用The manager is said to do...，结合句意，“已经从巴黎回来”发生在“据说”之前，用不定式的完成式to have arrived back from Paris表示动作已经完成；“在那里他会见了一些欧洲伙伴”可处理为限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Paris，先行词在定语从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导该定语从句，从句中主语“他”用he，谓语动词“会见”发生在“从巴黎回来”之前，是“过去的过去”，用过去完成时态had met，宾语“一些欧洲伙伴”用some European partners。综上，全句译为：The manager is said to have arrived back from Paris where he had met some European partners．
53. 听轻音乐对于缓解人们的悲伤情绪很有帮助。(动名词作主语)(汉译英)
【答案】Listening to light music is very helpful in alleviating/relieving/comforting people’s sad emotions.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和固定短语。“听轻音乐”译为动词短语listen to light music，在句中作主语，应用动名词形式，“对做某事有帮助”使用固定短语be helpful in doing sth，“缓解”使用动词alleviate/relieve/comfort，“人们的悲伤情绪”译为短语people’s sad emotions，句子是描述一个事实，应用一般现在时，主语是动名词短语，表示单数意义，故翻译为：Listening to light music is very helpful in alleviating/relieving/comforting people’s sad emotions.
54. 直到他看到海洋表面漂着惊人数量的塑料瓶, 才意识到白色污染有多严重。(aware) (汉译英)
【答案】He wasn’t aware how serious white pollution had been until he saw a shocking number of plastic bottles floating on the the surface of the ocean./Not until he saw a shocking number of plastic bottles floating on the the surface of the ocean was he aware how serious white pollution had been.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语，倒装句结构和宾语从句。表示“直到……才”用not...until...；根据汉语提示，句子表述过去事实，故使用一般过去时；表示“直到他看到海洋表面漂着惊人数量的塑料瓶”用until he saw a shocking number of plastic bottles floating on the the surface of the ocean，该句中使用现在分词floating作宾补成分，表示“他才意识到白色污染有多严重”用he wasn’t aware how serious white pollution had been ，该句中表示“意识到”用be aware……，其后使用引导词how引导的宾语从句，宾语从句陈述的事实发生在过去之前，用过去完成时；同时本句也可以将not until置于句首，主句构成部分倒装结构，将was置于主语he之前。故答案为He wasn’t aware how serious white pollution had been until he saw a shocking number of plastic bottles floating on the the surface of the ocean./Not until he saw a shocking number of plastic bottles floating on the the surface of the ocean was he aware how serious white pollution had been.
55. 他爸爸认为他越早去留学，就越容易融入当地文化，适应新的生活。（the more…, the more…）（汉译英）
【答案】His father believed that the sooner he went to study abroad, the easier it would be for him to integrate into the local culture and adapt to his new life.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和宾语从句。表示“认为”应用believes；表示“越……，越……”应用the more…, the more…；表示“留学”应用study abroad；表示“融入”应用integrate into；表示“当地文化”应用the local culture；表示“适应”应用adapt to；表示“新的生活”应用his new life。根据句意可可知，此处应用宾语从句，且“认为”和“去”的动作发生在过去某个时间，应用一般过去时。“适应”是发生在“认为”之后，应用过去将来时。故翻译为His father believed that the sooner he went to study abroad, the easier it would be for him to integrate into the local culture and adapt to his new life。

Dear Sir or Madam
I have just finished traveling in Dazu Stone Carvings.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I would appreciate it if my suggestions were accepted.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
I have just finished traveling in Daru Stone Carvings. The scenery there is really beautiful, but it is suffering from damages due to natural forces. What’s worse, some tourists even carve their names on the walls, which makes me heartbroken.
I strongly feel it significant to protect cultural heritage. For one thing, cultural heritage, which is the witness to the historical development, is an important basis for historical research. For another, it is likely to provide a source of tourism income, if maintained well.
So I hope the authorities can take measures to protect Dazu Stone Carvings, such as raising people’s awareness by handing out leaflets on preserving cultural heritage. Besides, strict regulations should be made to fine spoilers. Planting more trees is also a good way to prevent weathering.
I would appreciate it if my suggestions were accepted.
Sincerely
Li Hua
