All-in-one communication
Technology company Anker announced the launch of an “all-in-one” device designed to improve communications for employees working from home.

AirSelfie camera
Electronics maker AirSelfie launched its latest self-flying camera designed to take “selfie” pictures. The new device, called Air Pix, is a small, light camera that flies through the air and captures high-quality photographs and video. Air Pix can fly, frame and take pictures all by itself before landing back on the user’s hand.
Labrador’s assistive robot
Robot maker Labrador announced its Retriever robot designed to hold things and, as its name suggests, also retrieve (找回) things. The robot can be controlled by voice commands or from an app on a phone. It can also be programmed based on an exact map of a users home. The Retriever is designed “to serve as an extra pair of hands and lighten the load of everyday tasks in the home”.
Self-driving tractor
American-based farm equipment manufacturer John Deere presented a fully self-driving tractor equipped with six different cameras and a series of sensors to guide the tractor through the fields. Farmers can control the vehicle and see the tractor’s progress in real-time through a mobile device which is to help farmers do more work with less equipment and people.
The company noted that such machines can help improve farming methods as the world’s population grows and food demand is expected to rise 50 percent by 2050.

A donation by a famous writer has helped start an effort, called the United States of Readers, to help poor children read more books.
The classroom programme is being launched by Scholastic Book Clubs with a donation of $1.5 million from the writer James Patterson.
Scholastic announced the programme recently, aiming to bring books to 32,000 poor children who are in kindergarten to eighth grade.
Judy Newman, president of Scholastic Book Clubs, said that in many communities people don’t have enough money to buy books. So her company “needed to come up with an alternative to our tried-and-true model, because every child needs to be able to choose and own books, and see themselves as a reader!”
Scholastic is a large publisher of books for children and educational materials. Its goal is to get books into schools to increase literacy. The company has publishing rights in the U.S. for books like the Harry Potter and Hunger Games series.
A gift from Patterson helped start the new programme. He is credited with selling millions of books. He has already donated more than $10 million to teachers and students through Scholastic.
He said that he has supported literacy for many years. He believes reading skills are important for the country.
“In many cases, kids simply need access to books— and especially books they want to read— to fall in love with reading, characters, and stories.”
Patterson added that the programme “will bring books to those schools and communities that need them the most, and ones that we haven’t served before.”
Scholastic describes the programme on its website. It says the United States of Reader programme targets children in schools serving poor communities. The company said it has chosen a limited number of schools to take part this year but hopes to expand the programme in the coming years.
4. Who of the following is the target of the United States of Readers
A. Teenagers who like literature very much.
B. Children from less developed countries.
C. Schools and communities that have worked together before.
D. Children in urgent need of books in lower grades in backward areas.
5. In Judy Newman’s opinion, what is the main problem to be solved by the future model
A. Attacting more donated books.
B. Expanding the number of books.
C. Meeting children’s personalized needs.
D. Developing students’ reading ability.
6. What is the goal of Scholastic Book Clubs
A. To translate foreign works.
B. To help students promote literacy.
C. To explore new reading patterns.
D. To recommend excellent children’s writers.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text

C
In English, a shadow can also be considered a weak form of ourselves. So, when someone is a weaker version of what they used to be, we can say they are a “shadow of their former self”.
On the other hand, a person who is “larger than life” casts a big shadow. In this case, the shadow is not from their actual bodies but from their personality and successes. To “cast” in this case means to send something out or forward. Children of successful people often have problems. They “live in the shadow” of their parents and can feel not successful by comparison. We could also say that the successes of the parents “cast a shadow” over the lives of the children.
Something else that can cast a shadow is our sins— actions considered to be bad. Here is another expression “old sins cast long shadows”.
Think about your shadow on a sunny day. The shadow you cast can be long and far-reaching. The same can be said for our past mistakes and sins. They can reach far into the future. They affect our present-day situation. So, the saving “old sins cast long shadows” means that the wrong things we do early in our lives can have long term effects.
And often, the sins of one person comes back to cause them great problems. In one mystery, a jewel thief double-crossed her partner. She kept the jewels they stole together for herself. She changed her name and moved to a quiet English village. She thought she had gotten away with it. But her partner in crime found her... and eventually so did the police.
In the end, they were both arrested. When the police came to take the jewel thief away, she said, “How did you find me My crime was so long ago,” The detective answered, “Old sins cast long shadows.”
“Old sins cast long shadows” also can be used in another way. It can be used to talk about other people’s sins and how they affect us. It means that sometimes people suffer from the sins of others.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Parents should be more demanding of their children
B. Parents should set a successful example for their children.
C. The success of children depends on the success of their parents.
D. Successful parents should pay attention to protecting their children’s self-confidence.
9. What’s the main idea of paragraph 4
A. Past mistakes influence the present and future.
B. Everyone has old sins and mistakes.
C. We must avoid making mistakes.
D. Other people’s sins may affect us.
10. Which is close to the underlined word “double-crossed” in paragraph 5
A. Committed. B. Cheated. C. Murdered. D. Encouraged.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. The Life in the Shadow
B. The Sins Behind the Shadow
C. Explore the Formation of Shadow
D. Talking About Our Shadow
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了与shadow相关的英语习语和具体语境中的含义。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Children of successful people often have problems. They “live in the shadow” of their parents and can feel not successful by comparison. We could also say that the successes of the parents “cast a shadow” over the lives of the children. (成功人士的孩子往往有问题。他们 “生活在父母的阴影下”，相比之下，他们会觉得自己并不成功。我们也可以说，父母的成功给孩子的生活蒙上了“阴影”)”可知,成功人士的孩子经常把自己和父母的成就相比，认为自己很失败，不自信。由此推断，成功人士作为父母要鼓励孩子，注意保护孩子的自信心。故选D项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Think about your shadow on a sunny day. The shadow you cast can be long and far-reaching. The same can be said for our past mistakes and sins. They can reach far into the future. They affect our present-day situation. So, the saving “old sins cast long shadows” means that the wrong things we do early in our lives can have long term effects.(想想你在阳光灿烂的日子里的影子。你投下的阴影可能很长很深远。我们过去的错误和罪恶也是如此。它们可以触及遥远的未来。它们影响着我们现在的处境。所以，“旧罪长影”是指我们在生命早期所做的错误的事情会产生长期的影响)”可知，主要讲的是过去的错误对现在和以后造成长远的影响。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“She kept the jewels they stole together for herself.(她把他们一起偷来的珠宝留给了自己)”和“She thought she had gotten away with it. But her partner in crime found her.( 她以为自己侥幸逃脱了。但她的犯罪同伙找到了她)”判断可知她骗了她的同伴，把一起偷的东西占为己有，由此可知划线词词义为“欺骗”，故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“In English,a shadow can also be considered a weak form of ourselves.(在英语中，影子也可以被认为是我们自己的软弱形式。所以，当一个人比以前的自己弱了，我们可以说他们是“以前的自己的影子”)”以及后文内容介绍了“shadow of their former self” “live in the shadow” “old sins cast long shadows”等几个关于shadow的习语，对于这个词大家都知道字面意思以外的用法做了介绍。D项意为“浅谈我们的影子”适合做本文题目。故选D项。
D
Batik is a traditional Indonesian coloring method used to make designs and drawings, usually on cloth and finished textiles. Batik makers use dyes— colors added to cloth and other materials— to create the colorful designs.
In central Indonesia, many batik makers are using natural dyes instead of manufactured ones. The natural dyes used come from mangrove forests that grow along the coast. The trees grow in salty water on a complex system of tall roots.
Mangrove forests serve an important purpose. They provide a barrier against destructive (破坏性的) ocean waves called tsunamis. They also are important to water life like fish and crabs. And the forests are more effective in taking in carbon dioxide gas, a gas linked to climate change, than rainforests or similar environments.
Erwin Ardli is a mangrove ecologist at Indonesia’s Jenderal Soedirman University. He says the natural dyes may not be as bright as manufactured ones. But they are better for the environment. Ardli said, “We’ve seen the interest for natural dyes increasing, and especially for middle-to upper-class people, they seem proud to wear clothes using these natural dyes rather than synthetic (合成) ones.” Iiting Budiarti, who owns an art gallery that shows Batik designs, agreed with Ardli, adding that objects with natural dyes can cost two or three times more than the synthetic ones.
Forty-eight-year-old Sodikin is a batik maker. Over the past four years he and his group of batik makers have changed from using chemical materials for dyes to mangrove-based products. The change has reduced their costs and helped the environment.
Harvesting involves gathering a handful of what looks like string beans-seeds within a covering. Sodikin then takes the mangrove fruit home to make natural dye from them.
“We use natural materials so as to preserve the mangrove forest at the same time,” Sodikin said, as he processed dried fruits before boiling them to extract the colour for use as a dye. “We do not cut down the trees,” he added, “and we only take fruits or leaves that have fallen.”
12. Where do the natural dyes used by Indonesian batik manufacturers come from
A. Some string beans.
B. Salty water.
C. The roots of coastal trees.
D. Mature seeds or leaves of mangrove forests.
13. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage about the role of mangrove forests
A. Resisting harmful ocean waves.
B. Preventing carbon dioxide emissions better.
C. Providing more high-quality wood products.
D. Providing a growth environment for marine organisms.
14. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. The development trend of Batik.
B. People’s attitude towards synthetic dyes.
C. Advantages and disadvantages of natural dyes.
D. The relationship between natural dyes and people’s identity.
15. Where is this text most likely from
A. A biology textbook.
B. A tourist guide to central Indonesia.
C. A report concerning traditional culture.
D. An assessment report on ecological balance.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了印度尼西亚的传统着色工艺：蜡染。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The natural dyes used come from mangrove forests that grow along the coast.(所用的天然染料来自沿海生长的红树林)”以及倒数第二段中“Sodikin then takes the mangrove fruit home to make natural dye from them.(然后，Sodikin把红树果实带回家，用它们制作天然染料)”和最后一段中“we only take fruits or leaves that have fallen.(我们只拿走掉落的果实或树叶)”可知，蜡染用的天然染料是红树成熟果实种子和掉落的叶子。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中内容“Mangrove forests serve an important purpose. They provide a barrier against destructive (破坏性的) ocean waves called tsunamis. They also are important to water life like fish and crabs. And the forests are more effective in taking in carbon dioxide gas, a gas linked to climate change, than rainforests or similar environments..(红树林起着重要的作用。它们为被称为海啸的破坏性海浪提供了屏障。它们对鱼类和螃蟹等水生生物也很重要。与雨林或类似环境相比，红树林能更有效地吸收与气候变化有关的二氧化碳气体)”可知,文中提到红树林可以抵御海啸，为水生生物提供更好的生存环境，还能更好地吸收二氧化碳，但没有提到提供木材。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“…But they are better for the environment. Ardli said, ‘We’ve seen the interest for natural dyes increasing, and especially for middle-to upper-class people, they seem proud to wear clothes using these natural dyes rather than synthetic (合成) ones.’(但是它们对环境更好。阿德利说:我们看到人们对天然染料的兴趣越来越大，尤其是中上层阶级的人，他们似乎以穿着使用这些天然染料而不是合成染料的衣服而自豪)”可知，本段主要介绍蜡染的发展趋势。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Batik is a traditional Indonesian coloring method used to make designs and drawings, usually on cloth and finished textiles. Batik makers use dyes— colors added to cloth and other materials— to create the colorful designs.(蜡染是一种传统的印度尼西亚着色方法，用于制作设计和图纸，通常在布料和成品纺织品上。蜡染师使用染料—添加在布料和其他材料上的颜色—来创造色彩斑斓的图案)”并结合全文可知文章主要介绍了蜡染这种工艺的相关内容和发展趋势，属于印度尼西亚的传统文化的宣传推广。由此推知，本文可能来自一个关注传统文化的报告。故选C项。

第五部分 读后续写（满分20分）
66. 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。
There lived two brothers, John McNeil and James, in a village in Kentucky in the north of America, who had lost their parents in a terrible earthquake ten years before. Worse still, ten-year-old John McNeil suffered from serious autism. He often stayed at a corner without saying anything with others and frequently ran everywhere, so his brother James was concerned about his safety.
On a windy, cold day, John McNeil forgot to put on his shoes and ran out the door. He headed straight for the 125-foot electrical tower behind the McNeiI home and didn’t realize the dangers of the structure. That day his thoughts were set on climbing to the top of that tower, touching the sky. Maybe he thought he could meet his parents in the sky. What a poor boy!
His seventeen-year-old brother, James, was always close by. James always made sure that no danger came to his little brother. But today was different. Today, John ran out the door unnoticed. He was making his way to the sky step by step by the time James saw him. John, like most autistic children, had no idea about fear or danger. James, on the other hand, realized that he had to face his greatest fear of all — the fear of heights.
However, James understood the danger of the electrical tower but chose to follow his younger brother secretly, trying not to look down, all the way to the top. He finally reached his brother and held him with his right hand. With his left hand, he held a metal bar to help stabilize them both. What a thrilling scene!
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在相应位置作答。
James was shaking. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hundreds of people came together at the base of the tower. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】James was shaking. The fear of heights gripped him as he stood on the top of the 125-foot electrical tower. James, overcoming his own fears, knew he had to keep his composure for John’s sake. The wind howled around them, but James remained resolute, holding onto both his brother and a metal bar with a firm grip. James felt a mix of emotions — fear, love, and an overwhelming sense of responsibility. He was determined to protect his little brother and began to lead John to descend.
Hundreds of people came together at the base of the tower. A collective gasp escaped the crowd as they witnessed the two brothers making their descent. Strangers joined hands, forming a protective circle around the tower, ready to catch the brothers if they fell. The unity and compassion of the onlookers were obvious. Finally, James and John reached the ground safely, greeted by the applause and cheers of the crowd. James, still trembling from the height he had faced, embraced John tightly.
【解析】

CES is produced by the Consumer Technology Association known as the place where many companies launch their latest technology offerings. Here is a look at some of the top products presented at CES 2022.
All-in-one communication
Technology company Anker announced the launch of an “all-in-one” device designed to improve communications for employees working from home. The Anker Work B600 sits on top of the computer display like a traditional webcam. But it combines several elements of communication into one device that includes a camera, speaker, microphone and a light.
AirSelfie camera
Electronics maker AirSelfie launched its latest self-flying camera designed to take “selfie” pictures. The new device, called Air Pix, is a small, light camera that flies through the air and captures high-quality photographs and video. Air Pix can fly, frame and take pictures all by itself before landing back on the user’s hand.
Labrador’s assistive robot
Robot maker Labrador announced its Retriever robot designed to hold things and, as its name suggests, also retrieve (找回) things.

The Retriever is designed “to serve as an extra pair of hands and lighten the load of everyday tasks in the home”.
Self-driving tractor
American-based farm equipment manufacturer John Deere presented a fully self-driving tractor equipped with six different cameras and a series of sensors to guide the tractor through the fields Farmers can control the vehicle and see the tractor’s progress in real-time through a mobile device which is to help farmers do more work with less equipment and people.

A donation by a famous writer has helped start an effort, called the United States of Readers, to help poor children read more books.
The classroom programme is being launched by Scholastic Book Clubs with a donation of $1.5 million from the writer James Patterson.
Scholastic announced the programme recently, aiming to bring books to 32,000 poor children who are in kindergarten to eighth grade.
Judy Newman, president of Scholastic Book Clubs, said that in many communities people don’t have enough money to buy books. So her company “needed to come up with an alternative to our tried-and-true model, because every child needs to be able to choose and own books, and see themselves as a reader!”
Scholastic is a large publisher of books for children and educational materials. Its goal is to get books into schools to increase literacy. The company has publishing rights in the U.S. for books like the Harry Potter and Hunger Games series.
A gift from Patterson helped start the new programme. He is credited with selling millions of books. He has already donated more than $10 million to teachers and students through Scholastic.
He said that he has supported literacy for many years. He believes reading skills are important for the country.
“In many cases kids simply need access to books— and especially books they want to read— to fall in love with reading, characters, and stories.”
Patterson added that the programme “will bring books to those schools and communities that need them the most, and ones that we haven’t served before.”
Scholastic describes the programme on its website. It says the United States of Reader programme targets children in schools serving poor communities. The company said it has chosen a limited number of schools to take part this year but hopes to expand the programme in the coming years.
4. Who of the following is the target of the United States of Readers

In English, a shadow can also be considered a weak form of ourselves. So, when someone is a weaker version of what they used to be, we can say they are a “shadow of their former self”.
On the other hand, a person who is “larger than life” casts a big shadow. In this case, the shadow is not from their actual bodies but from their personality and successes. To “cast” in this case means to send something out or forward. Children of successful people often have problems. They “live in the shadow” of their parents and can feel not successful by comparison. We could also say that the successes of the parents “cast a shadow” over the lives of the children.
Something else that can cast a shadow is our sins— actions considered to be bad. Here is another expression “old sins cast long shadows”.
Think about your shadow on a sunny day. The shadow you cast can be long and far-reaching. The same can be said for our past mistakes and sins. They can reach far into the future. They affect our present-day situation. So, the saving “old sins cast long shadows” means that the wrong things we do early in our lives can have long term effects.
And often, the sins of one person comes back to cause them great problems. In one mystery, a jewel thief double-crossed her partner. She kept the jewels they stole together for herself. She changed her name and moved to a quiet English village. She thought she had gotten away with it. But her partner in crime found her... and eventually so did the police.
In the end, they were both arrested. When the police came to take the jewel thief away, she said, “How did you find me My crime was so long ago,” The detective answered, “Old sins cast long shadows.”
“Old sins cast long shadows” also can be used in another way. It can be used to talk about other people’s sins and how they affect us. It means that sometimes people suffer from the sins of others.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Parents should be more demanding of their children
B. Parents should set a successful example for their children.
C. The success of children depends on the success of their parents.
D. Successful parents should pay attention to protecting their children’s self-confidence.
9. What’s the main idea of paragraph 4
A. Past mistakes influence the present and future.
B. Everyone has old sins and mistakes.
C. We must avoid making mistakes.
D. Other people’s sins may affect us.
10. Which is close to the underlined word “double-crossed” in paragraph 5
A. Committed. B. Cheated. C. Murdered. D. Encouraged.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. The Life in the Shadow
B. The Sins Behind the Shadow
C. Explore the Formation of Shadow
D. Talking About Our Shadow
D
Batik is a traditional Indonesian coloring method used to make designs and drawings, usually on cloth and finished textiles. Batik makers use dyes— colors added to cloth and other materials— to create the colorful designs.
In central Indonesia, many batik makers are using natural dyes instead of manufactured ones. The natural dyes used come from mangrove forests that grow along the coast. The trees grow in salty water on a complex system of tall roots.
Mangrove forests serve an important purpose. They provide a barrier against destructive (破坏性的) ocean waves called tsunamis. They also are important to water life like fish and crabs. And the forests are more effective in taking in carbon dioxide gas, a gas linked to climate change, than rainforests or similar environments.
Erwin Ardli is a mangrove ecologist at Indonesia’s Jenderal Soedirman University. He says the natural dyes may not be as bright as manufactured ones. But they are better for the environment. Ardli said, “We’ve seen the interest for natural dyes increasing, and especially for middle-to upper-class people, they seem proud to wear clothes using these natural dyes rather than synthetic (合成) ones.” Iiting Budiarti, who owns an art gallery that shows Batik designs, agreed with Ardli, adding that objects with natural dyes can cost two or three times more than the synthetic ones.
Forty-eight-year-old Sodikin is a batik maker. Over the past four years, he and his group of batik makers have changed from using chemical materials for dyes to mangrove-based products. The change has reduced their costs and helped the environment.
Harvesting involves gathering a handful of what looks like string beans-seeds within a covering. Sodikin then takes the mangrove fruit home to make natural dye from them.
“We use natural materials so as to preserve the mangrove forest at the same time,” Sodikin said, as he processed dried fruits before boiling them to extract the colour for use as a dye. “We do not cut down the trees,” he added, “and we only take fruits or leaves that have fallen.”
12. Where do the natural dyes used by Indonesian batik manufacturers come from
A. Some string beans.
B. Salty water.
C. The roots of coastal trees.
D. Mature seeds or leaves of mangrove forests.
13. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage about the role of mangrove forests
A. Resisting harmful ocean waves.
B. Preventing carbon dioxide emissions better.
C. Providing more high-quality wood products.
D. Providing a growth environment for marine organisms.
14. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. The development trend of Batik.
B. People’s attitude towards synthetic dyes.
C. Advantages and disadvantages of natural dyes.
D. The relationship between natural dyes and people’s identity.
15. Where is this text most likely from
A. A biology textbook.
B. A tourist guide to central Indonesia.
C. A report concerning traditional culture.
D. An assessment report on ecological balance.

There lived two brothers, John McNeil and James, in a village in Kentucky in the north of America, who had lost their parents in a terrible earthquake ten years before. Worse still, ten-year-old John McNeil suffered from serious autism. He often stayed at a corner without saying anything with others and frequently ran everywhere, so his brother James was concerned about his safety.
On a windy, cold day, John McNeil forgot to put on his shoes and ran out the door. He headed straight for the 125-foot electrical tower behind the McNeiI home and didn’t realize the dangers of the structure. That day his thoughts were set on climbing to the top of that tower, touching the sky. Maybe he thought he could meet his parents in the sky. What a poor boy!
His seventeen-year-old brother, James, was always close by. James always made sure that no danger came to his little brother. But today was different. Today, John ran out the door unnoticed. He was making his way to the sky step by step by the time James saw him. John, like most autistic children, had no idea about fear or danger. James, on the other hand, realized that he had to face his greatest fear of all — the fear of heights.
However, James understood the danger of the electrical tower but chose to follow his younger brother secretly, trying not to look down, all the way to the top. He finally reached his brother and held him with his right hand. With his left hand, he held a metal bar to help stabilize them both. What a thrilling scene!
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在相应位置作答。
James was shaking. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hundreds of people came together at the base of the tower. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
