One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could - he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. Having been stuck in the snow for two days, Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.
4. What caused Nicholas to get lost at the mountain
A. Having no guides to help.
B. Forgetting the way back.
C. Terrible weather.
D. Poor eyesight.
5. How did Nicholas keep himself warm
A. He built a snow cave.
B. He found a shelter.
C. He kept on skiing.
D. He made a fire.
6. Why was Gryll’s show mentioned
A. It was Nicholas’ favorite TV program.
B. It taught Nicholas useful knowledge.
C. Nicholas shared his story on the show.
D. Gryll asked Nicholas to make a TV interview.
7. Which of the following may best describe Nicholas
A Calm and brave. B. Responsible and curious.
C. Lucky and smart. D. Confident and outgoing.
C
Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who join book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website Book changes the traditional idea of a book group.
People can go on the website and register the books they own and would like to share. Book Crossing gives each book an identification number (识别码). Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of Book Crossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. Book Crossing combines (结合) both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and write down where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a diary entry sharing what they thought of it. Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to let them know about the latest adventurous journey of their books. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to collect dust on a bookshelf at home.
Book Crossing is part of a trend (趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟)The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty — five countries.
8. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To explain what they are.
B. To introduce Book Crossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading.
D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.
9. What will a Book Crosser do with a book after reading it
A. Keep it safe in his bookcase. B. Mail it back to its owner.
C. Meet other readers to discuss it. D. Pass it on to another reader.
10. What is the purpose of creating Bookcrossing
A. To protect the environment
B. To encourage people to enjoy reading
C To make good use of books
D. To call on people to return to paper books
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour
B. Electronic Books: A New Trend
C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back
D. A Website Links People through Books
D
Tomatoes are common in daily life. Cathie Martin, a British scientist, has been working on developing purple tomatoes for years. Though the color is unusual, now this special kind of tomatoes, which has gained approval from the US government, has very high levels of antioxidants(抗氧化剂).
Antioxidants, also known as AOS, are found naturally in plants like blueberries and red cabbage. Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. But tomatoes naturally only have a small amount of AOS in them. Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of AOS by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.
A plant developed from specially created DNA is known as a GMO. After adding two genes(基因) from a plant called snapdragon, Martin soon found her plants were producing small purple tomatoes with lots of AOS. Martin and other scientists further tested the tomatoes on mice that were likely to get cancer. The mice that were fed the purple tomatoes lived about 30% longer than those fed normal tomatoes. Though that’s good news, experiments on mice don’t always predict what effects on humans will be like. We need to see more experiments about it.
GMOs were first allowed in America in the late 1990s. But GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t natural or safe. There’re still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment. However, scientists deny these claims.
Even so, many people still have concerns about them. Because of these concerns, most GMO products created over the last 20 years have focused on helping farmers rather than attracting customers.
Anyway, on September 7, 2022, the US approved the purple tomatoes, which is the first time it has approved a GMO plant designed to target human health.
12. What makes purple tomatoes really special
A. Their medical value. B. Their delicious flavor.
C. Their proper size. D. Their pleasant color.
13. What’s the author’s attitude to the test on the mice
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Opposed.
14. What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. The environment affects GMO foods.
B. The customers do not like GMO foods.
C. GMO products are used to help farmers.
D. Scientists think GMO products are safe.
15. What’s mainly talked about in the text
A. Different DNA can benefit plant growth.
B. Tomatoes with changed DNA are approved.
C. Scientists are changing DNA of crops.
D. Human health depends on changed DNA.

My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.
“Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time ” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.”
“Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.”

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who join book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book changes the traditional idea of a book group.
People can go on the website and register the books they own and would like to share. Book Crossing gives each book an identification number (识别码). Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of Book Crossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. Book Crossing combines (结合) both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and write down where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a diary entry sharing what they thought of it. Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to let them know about the latest adventurous journey of their books. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to collect dust on a bookshelf at home.
Book Crossing is part of a trend (趋势) among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虚拟).The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty — five countries.
8. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph
A. To explain what they are.

Tomatoes are common in daily life. Cathie Martin, a British scientist, has been working on developing purple tomatoes for years. Though the color is unusual, now this special kind of tomatoes, which has gained approval from the US government, has very high levels of antioxidants(抗氧化剂).
Antioxidants, also known as AOS, are found naturally in plants like blueberries and red cabbage. Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. But tomatoes naturally only have a small amount of AOS in them. Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of AOS by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.
A plant developed from specially created DNA is known as a GMO. After adding two genes(基因) from a plant called snapdragon, Martin soon found her plants were producing small purple tomatoes with lots of AOS. Martin and other scientists further tested the tomatoes on mice that were likely to get cancer. The mice that were fed the purple tomatoes lived about 30% longer than those fed normal tomatoes. Though that’s good news, experiments on mice don’t always predict what effects on humans will be like. We need to see more experiments about it.
GMOs were first allowed in America in the late 1990s. But GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t natural or safe. There’re still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment. However, scientists deny these claims.
Even so, many people still have concerns about them. Because of these concerns, most GMO products created over the last 20 years have focused on helping farmers rather than attracting customers.
Anyway, on September 7, 2022, the US approved the purple tomatoes, which is the first time it has approved a GMO plant designed to target human health.
12. What makes purple tomatoes really special
A. Their medical value. B. Their delicious flavor.
C. Their proper size. D. Their pleasant color.
13. What’s the author’s attitude to the test on the mice
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Opposed.
14. What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. The environment affects GMO foods.
B. The customers do not like GMO foods.
C. GMO products are used to help farmers.
D. Scientists think GMO products are safe.
15. What’s mainly talked about in the text
A. Different DNA can benefit plant growth.
B. Tomatoes with changed DNA are approved.
C. Scientists are changing DNA of crops.
D. Human health depends on changed DNA.
【答案】12 A 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文属于说明文。一种新的紫色番茄在美国获得批准种植和销售。科学家通过改变这种番茄的DNA,增加了它们的抗氧化剂，使这种番茄可以保存更久，并有助于人们的健康。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Though the color is unusual, now this special kind of tomatoes, which has gained approval from the US government, has very high levels of antioxidants(抗氧化剂).(虽然颜色不同寻常，但现在这种特殊的西红柿已经获得了美国政府的批准，它含有很高的抗氧化剂)”以及第二段中“Scientists believe AOS may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. (科学家认为，AOS可能有助于预防心脏病，并有助于对抗糖尿病等疾病。)”可知，紫色番茄中含有抗氧化剂，抗氧化剂能够有助于对抗糖尿病等疾病。故紫色番茄的特殊之处在于它的医用价值。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Though that’s good news, experiments on mice don’t always predict what effects on humans will be the same. We need to see more experiments about it.”（虽然这是个好消息，但在老鼠身上进行的实验并不总是能预测对人类的影响是一样的。我们需要看到更多关于它的实验。）可知，作者对此实验目前心存怀疑。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。第四段提到“But GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t natural or safe. There’re still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment. However, scientists deny these claims.（转基因产品并不受消费者欢迎，许多人被这些食物不天然或不安全的想法吓到了。转基因作物对环境的影响也仍然受到质疑。然而，科学家们否认了这些说法。）”再结合该词后面的“many people have concerns about them（很多人还是很担心这个问题）”，可推知这里指的是：即使科学家认为转基因食物是安全的，但是很多人对此仍然很担心，故划线词so指代的是前文的科学家们对转基因食物是会对环境造成影响的，以及转基因食物是不天然或者不安全的说法进行了否定，即科学家认为转基因产品是安全的。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段讲述了转基因西红柿相较普通西红柿的优势；第二段提到科学家马丁通过改变番茄基因，让番茄含有大量的抗氧化剂，第三段提到马丁通过实验证明了这种番茄保质期更长。后面几段提到，虽然公众对转基因产品仍持怀疑态度，但这种番茄在美国最终还是获得了批准种植和销售。标题“Tomatoes with changed DNA are approved.（转基因西红柿批准上市）”符合文意，故选B。

考查非谓语动词。句意：除了地震造成的巨大损失和死亡外，其他事故如火灾也经常随之而来。设空处作后置定语修饰名词短语the great damage and deaths, the great damage and deaths与动词cause构成逻辑上的被动关系，设空处填过去分词caused表被动。故填caused。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：可能会有更多的建筑物遭到破坏，造成更多的人员受伤。设空处在句中作主语，名词injury“伤害，损伤”符合句意，此处指人员受伤，injury为可数名词，结合空前“more”可知设空处应填名词复数形式injuries。故填injuries。
【44题详解】
考查It作形式主语。句意：例如，据说大约2000年前，有人发明了一种机器，可以找出地震波来的方向。句子分析可知，此句为固定句式“It is said that...据说……”，句中it作形式主语，that从句作真正主语，设空处应填it；设空处置于句首，首字母大写。故填It。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：例如，据说大约2000年前，有人发明了一种机器，可以找出地震波来的方向。句子分析可知，“____10____ could find out the direction where the earthquake waves came”为限制性定语从句修饰名词“a machine”，设空处指代先行词在从句中作主语，先行词a machine指物，从句应用关系代词which/that引导。故填which/that。

47. 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。
My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.
“Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time ” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.”
“Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

【答案】 Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” My mouth dropped open. “She was outside all night ” I was so furious, “It was freezing and she could die!” Jordan choked back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside. Jordan followed, fear welling up in his eyes. Several minutes later, the poor thing was found, shaking and curling into a tiny ball. I picked her up, unsure whether she was alive or dead. Jordan was scared, “We need a vet! Now!”
As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. I could hear him talking to the cat, apologizing repeatedly. Luckily, the vet saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, Jordan stroked her head, all tears. Then, surprisingly, he turned to me. He apologized for what he had done. “I know you just want to keep me safe,” he murmured. I felt a lump in my throat. He rubbed Meatball’s back, “Looks like we are both going to observe the curfew. It’s for our own good.”
