Whether you want a snowy or sunny winter getaway, these hotels are hot on our list of places to stay this winter.

Book the Penthouse Suite for a private deck overlooking the pool, or become a Swim Club member and enjoy pool benefits anytime.
Hotel Joaquin: Orange Country, CA

This small-sized accommodation feels like a private beachside house, but with perfect service, well-prepared activities, fine dining and a relaxing pool.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据题目中的关键词“prefer beach-stylish atmosphere”定位到文中第二个酒店“Hotel Joaquin: Orange Country, CA”中的“this small-sized accommodation feels like a private beachside house.(这种小型住宿感觉像一个私人海滨别墅)”，以及后文“Restaurant Saline(for guests only)serves Mediterranean cuisine with a focus on fresh seafood. Even better, the hotel will pack a picnic to take to the beach—which is just steps away.( Restaurant Saline (仅限客人)提供地中海美食与新鲜海鲜的重点。更棒的是，酒店还会打包野餐，带到只有几步之遥的海滩。)”可知，这个酒店的服务有许多沙滩元素，故选B。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Dive Motel &Swim Club: Nashville, TN”部分中的“A former’50s motor inn, the new Dive Motel & Swim Club has been fully updated to look like the 70s.(一个50年代的汽车旅馆，新的潜水汽车旅馆和游泳俱乐部已经完全翻新，看起来像70年代。)”可知，该酒店是新的；根据“Hotel Joaquin: Orange Country, CA”部分中的“A newcomer to coastal Orange County, Hotel Joaquin is a high-end hotel.(海奥兰治县一家新开的酒店，酒店华金是一个高端酒店。)”可知该酒店是一家新开的酒店；根据“Hotel Orania: Berlin, Germany”中的“Hotel Orania, located in the creative center of Kreuzberg, offers guests a five-star stay in recently-decorated rooms that are light and cheerful with warm wood accents and Asian influence. (酒店奥拉尼亚，位于克罗伊茨贝格的创意中心，为客人提供五星级的住宿，在最近装修的房间，温暖的木材和亚洲的影响，轻快和愉快。)”可知该酒店是最近装修的酒店，故应该是新的酒店；同时根据“Snowpine Lodge: Alta, UT”部分中的“Having undergone a $50-million dollar decoration, the lodge now offers incomparable luxury and impressive facilities such as ski boot warmers, a fully stocked game room, and farm-to-table dining featuring slope views.(经过5000万美元的装修，现在的旅馆提供了无与伦比的豪华和令人印象深刻的设施，如滑雪靴保暖套，一个储备齐全的游戏室，和农场到餐桌的餐厅，斜坡风景。)”可知，该酒店也是刚刚经过装修，提供了豪华和印象深刻的设施，故也是新的酒店。所以，四个酒店的共同特点是它们是新的或新装饰的。故选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Whether you want a snowy or sunny winter getaway, these hotels are hot on our list of places to stay this winter.(无论你是想要一个下雪的还是阳光明媚的冬季度假胜地，这些酒店都是我们这个冬天的热门去处。)”可知，这篇文章是介绍了四家冬季热门的酒店，故应该是推荐给游客的。故选A。
B
Last month, I was sorting through an old box when I came across a time capsule, in purple and green floss(丝线). Faded(褪色的)and worn, it was a friendship bracelet(手链)—an important part of my teenage summers. Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood, which my kids will never know firsthand.
My handiwork wasn’t beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them. The experience was intoxicating; physical and concrete, like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond. Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each other, at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.
I slept with my bracelets and showered with them. I wore them all summer long at camp. And I acquired new bracelets from friends there—friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return, as we said our tearful end-of-summer goodbyes. I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends. But now I see that they were really helping me to leave behind childhood.
My kids don’t go to summer camp. They certainly don’t exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends. They hang out on Discord(一种聊天软件)in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets, and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces. There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.
4. Why does the author associate a bracelet with a time capsule
A. It is faded and worn. B. It reminds her of her childhood.
C. It is shaped like a capsule. D. It was made by the author herself.
5. What does the underlined word “intoxicating” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Professional. B. Temporary. C. Exciting. D. Strange.
6. Why does the author think her kids’ childhood is different from hers
A They make more friends at summer camp. B. They spend too much time on their cellphones.
C. They are unwilling to give bracelets to parents. D. They often send hand-made gifts to their friends.
7. What can be inferred about the friendship bracelets
A. They proved the author’s kids had much to physically hold onto.
B. They represented both the author and her kids’ unforgettable childhood.
C. They gave meaning to the author’s childhood in a way her kids will never know.
D. They recalled the author’s deep sorrow of leaving close friends at summer camp.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者发现了一条手链，让她回想起童年和朋友们交换礼物，也感叹如今手机等电子设备的出现，孩子们沉浸于虚拟世界，聊天软件，而失去了这种交流的方式。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“an important part of my teenage summers(这是我十几岁的夏日里很重要的一部分)”可知，这串手链与作者童年的夏天有着重要的联系，所以把手链与时间胶囊联系起来正是因为手链让作者想到了自己童年的夏天。故选B。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面“My handiwork wasn’t beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them. (我的手艺不漂亮。但我记得的是礼物的美妙之处：把一些东西塞进朋友的手里，并知道它将永远与她们在一起。)”可知，作者的手工艺品并不是很美，但是当把它送给朋友时意义变得深刻。所以这些回忆应该是很美好的，那么这里也需要选择一个褒义词，C选项exciting意为“令人激动的，令人兴奋的”与划线词对应。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“They hang out on Discord(一种聊天软件)in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.(他们在Discord上聊天，聊天只会暂停，但永远不会结束。我们的大儿子不停地在手机上发短信，他和朋友们互相制作聊天表情包和抖音视频。)”可知，作者认为与以前不同的是现在的孩子们花太多的时间在手机上。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.(数年后，再也不会有一箱箱的信件需要分类，也不会有隐藏的手链需要找到。他们将没有什么可以真正依靠的东西。)”可知，代表友谊的手链只有作者有，她的孩子没有。作者提到了手链让她想起了美妙的童年生活，而这种感受当今的孩子们是无法体会的，因为他们大多数沉浸在虚拟世界。这些手链以一种她的孩子们永远不会知道的方式赋予了作者童年的意义。故选C。
C
The number of adults worldwide with dementia(痴呆) could rise from about 57.4 million in 2019 to 152.8 million by 2050 driven by factors like midlife obesity. smoking and social isolation, according to a study published Thursday by the Lancet.
While improvements in education are forecast to reduce dementia cases by 6.2 million in2050, researchers said this would be canceled out by trends in obesity. high blood sugar and smoking, which are estimated to cause an additional 6.8 million cases, the Guardian reported.
Risk factors for dementia also include stress, depression, physical inactivity, diabetes, heavy alcohol consumption, head injury, exposure to air pollution and low education, researchers said.
The rate of dementia is estimated to rise in every country, ranging from a 1,926% increase in Qatar to a 27% increase in Japan, while dementia cases in the U.S. are expected to increase by about 99.67%.
Researchers estimated that dementia cases would increase by roughly 117% by 2050 due to growth of the elderly population alone, a factor forecast to have the severest impact in East Asia. To reduce the risk of dementia, policymakers must support low-cost programs promoting exercise, a healthy diet and quitting smoking, lead author Emma Nichols，a researcher at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, told the Guardian.
Dementia is a syndrome(综合症),usually progressive, which harms memory and other functions of thought beyond what would usually be expected from aging. Though dementia can result from Alzheimer's disease or a stroke, it is not an unavoidable consequence of aging, the World Health Organization said. A 2020 study published by the Lancet suggested that low education might be a risk factor for dementia, because improved health education helps decrease the risk of head injury or of too much alcohol drinking. $818 billion is the annual global cost of treating dementia，the WHO estimated in 2017.Famous figures who were diagnosed with dementia include actress Rita Hayworth, actor James Stewart, former President Ronald Reagan and former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
8. What can we learn from the Guardian report
A. The effects of education on dementia are ignored.
B. There will be 6.8 million cases of dementia in 2050.
C. Education alone can't change the worsening trend in dementia.
D. Obesity, high blood pressure and smoking are the main causes of dementia.
9. Who might have the best lifestyle according to the text
A. Qataris. B. Chinese. C. Americans. D. Japanese.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Dementia can't be avoided as a consequence of aging.
B. Aging has the similar effect on people as dementia does.
C. we can cure dementia if we spend $818 billion every year.
D. Dementia influences people equally regardless of their social status.
11. Where is the text probably from
A. A government report. B. An education paper.
C. A health magazine. D. A product brochure.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了痴呆症的成因、现状和治疗。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While improvements in education are forecast to reduce dementia cases by 6.2 million in2050, researchers said this would be canceled out by trends in obesity.high blood sugar and smoking, which are estimated to cause an additional 6.8 million cases, the Guardian reported.(据预测，教育水平的提高将在2050年减少620万痴呆症患者，但研究人员表示，这将被肥胖趋势抵消。据《卫报》报道，高血糖和吸烟，预计将导致另外680万例病例。)”可知，我们能从《卫报》的报道中了解到，仅靠教育无法改变老年痴呆症日益恶化的趋势。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The rate of dementia is estimated to rise in every country, ranging from a 1,926% increase in Qatar to a 27% increase in Japan, while dementia cases in the U.S. are expected to increase by about 99.67%.(据估计，每个国家的痴呆症发病率都在上升，从卡塔尔的1,926%到日本的27%，而美国的痴呆症病例预计将增加约99.67%。)”可知，从三个国家和病例增长率可以看出，日本的增长比例最小，为27%，因此日本人的生活方式最好。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Famous figures who were diagnosed with dementia include actress Rita Hayworth, actor James Stewart, former President Ronald Reagan and former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.(被诊断为痴呆症的著名人物包括女演员丽塔·海华斯、演员詹姆斯·斯图尔特、前总统罗纳德·里根和前英国首相玛格丽特·撒切尔。)”可知，许多社会名流都患有痴呆症，因此该疾病并不和社会地位有直接关系，故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。分析全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了痴呆疾病的原因、现状和治疗，显然和健康相关，因此很可能来自于健康类杂志。故选C项。
D
A new front has opened in the battle to dominate digital flix announced earlier this summer that it was investing into video games. Last month it acquired game developer Night School Studio for a secret sum. Amazon, which has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into gaming, finally had a hit with new online game New World.
The video game industry has become one of the world’s most popular and profitable forms of entertainment. Video games generated nearly $178 bn in global income last year, according toa market research or on That fire is estimated to outweigh $200 bn by 2023.
For Amazon and Netflix, adding games to their platforms could attract more subscribers. Or at the very least dissuade existing ones from leaving. After a jump caused by pandemic in users, Netflix dropped 430,000 subscribers in the second quarter but regained some of these in the third flix has said in the past that in the “attention economy”, it competes against videogames just as much as video streaming services.
But gaming is a difficult market to enter. For every successful game, there are thousands of flix hones to translate the success of shows like Stranger Things into video game hits. But good games need more than recognizable names. Development requires different infrastructure and talents.
Just ask Disney. The entertainment king shut down its games studio in 2016 and transformed into a licensing model. Also, Amazon spent near $1bn acquiring video-streaming service Twitch, launched gaming streaming service Luna and canceled at least four video games before New World.
Established game makers such as Sony and Microsoft all make money from selling games and consoles (游戏机). Free-to-play mobile games get users to make in-game flix’s plan is to add games for free and as a loss leader to win more subscribers.
The sweet spot may not be in making games at all. Apple and Google sell and distribute games from their app stores and take a cut of as much as 30 percent from each sale. No wonder established game makers are more concerned about middlemen than new entrants.
12. What does the underlined word “dissuade” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. forbid. B. discourage. C. release. D. protect.
13. Why does the author mention Disney and Amazon in Paragraph 5
A. To show the success made by the two companies.
B. To indicate the difficulty in subscribing to video games.
C. To compare video gaming services with video-streaming services.
D. To prove the challenge in making money through gaming industry.
14. What is Netflix’s plan for gaming service
A. It will attract subscribers to buy its game.
B. It wants to profit from its game consoles.
C. In-game purchases are its sweet spot to make money.
D. It uses free games as a hook to attract more subscribers.
15. What’s author s attitude towards video game industry
A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了电子游戏作为新兴趋势被各大平台所纳入的现状，也讨论了平台的策略和未来趋势。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“For Amazon and Netflix adding games to their platforms could attract more subscribers(对于亚马逊和Netflix在他们的平台上增加游戏可以吸引更多的用户)”可知，平台加入电子游戏元素，可以吸引一些新的订阅用户。由此推测划线句子意为“或者（这样做）至少劝阻现有的用户离开”，即dissuade意为“劝阻”，与discourage同义。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“But gaming is a difficult market to enter. For every successful game, there are thousands of flix hones to translate the success of shows like Stranger Things into video game hits. But good games need more than recognizable names. Development requires different infrastructure and talents. (但游戏是一个难以进入的市场。对于每一个成功的游戏，都有成千上万的失败。Netflix致力于将《陌生人》等节目的成功转化为视频游戏的成功。但好的游戏需要的不仅仅是可识别的名字。发展需要不同的基础设施和人才)”可知，游戏市场经营具有挑战性。由此推知，第五段提到Disney和Amazon的就是为了说明这种挑战性。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Free-to-play mobile games get users to make in-game flix’s plan is to add games for free and as a loss leader to win more subscribers.(免费玩手机游戏可以让用户进行游戏内购买。Netflix的计划是增加免费游戏，并作为亏损领先者赢得更多订户)”可知，Netflix的计划是用免费游戏吸引新的订阅者。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。综合全文可知，文章第二、三段指出视频游戏带来了很多新用户并且创造了利润，第四到第六段指出该产业带来的挑战。由此推知，作者对视频游戏的态度是客观的。故选A。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．
I am going to discuss some of the choices available to you and which jobs are best suited to you: popular jobs, more unusual jobs or everyday jobs.
___16___ Some jobs may seem dull but are important to society, while others can appear exciting but are actually difficult and boring. One example is the so-called “cool job” of being a model or an actor. These people seem to be living a better life than others. Actually, they have to make far greater efforts than ordinary people and only a few of them are successful. Meanwhile, those who are successful and famous have to deal with constant media attention.___17___
Other popular professions include careers in law or business. Many people have ambitions to become successful as a lawyer or business person. ___18___ These can be well-paid and interesting jobs, but you also have to work long hours.
On the other hand, some people find more unusual jobs suited to their talents and interests. Once I met a young man whose job was to check noise pollution in a park zone. He loved camping, and his job was like a holiday for him. ___19___ There are many other people doing unusual jobs, and they love their jobs, which might not be popular, but are interesting.
Likewise, many ordinary jobs, such as shopkeepers, drivers and barbers, may look plain, but they are necessary to society. Without them, we would not go about our daily lives.
When you think about your future career, remember some cool jobs can be rather difficult and that some ordinary jobs can be quite important. ___20___
A. It does not seem that cool now, does it
B. It was easy to see that he enjoyed doing his job.
C. All of them together, though, help society function.
D. He’s bored as his only neighbors were the birds in the nearby trees.
E. When choosing a career, you should consider all the aspects of a job.
F. They wear diamonds, go to parties and relax on cushions in private jets.
G. However, they may ignore the stress and pressure that come with these jobs.
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本篇用简洁语言分析了社会上存在的不同职业，并深入探究了职业表面与其背后所需要付出的努力和社会价值。
【16题详解】
根据下文“Some jobs may seem dull but are important to society, while others can appear exciting but are actually difficult and boring. (有些工作看似枯燥，但对社会很重要，而另一些工作看似令人兴奋，但实际上既困难又无聊)”可知，我们在选择职业的时候往往只看到其表面。由此可知，我们在选择职业的时候，应全面考虑这一职业的本身。E项“在选择职业时，你应该考虑工作的各个方面”符合语境，引出下文。故选E。
【17题详解】
空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“One example is the so-called “cool job” of being a model or an actor. These people seem to be living a better life than others. Actually, they have to make far greater efforts than ordinary people and only a few of them are successful. Meanwhile, those who are successful and famous have to deal with constant media attention (一个例子是所谓的“酷工作”，即当模特或演员。这些人似乎过着比其他人更好的生活。事实上，他们要比普通人付出更大的努力，只有少数人成功。同时，那些成功和出名的人必须面对媒体的持续关注)”可知，看起来很酷的职业其实并非如此。A项“现在看起来没那么酷，是吗？”符合语境，承接上文，cool是关键词。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Many people have ambitions to become successful as a lawyer or business person.(许多人都渴望成为一名成功的律师或商人)”和下文“These can be well-paid and interesting jobs, but you also have to work long hours. (这些工作报酬丰厚，而且有趣，但你也必须长时间工作)”可知，商人和律师是很多人梦想的职业，这也工作虽然报酬高但工作时间很长。由此可知，人们可能忽略了高报酬带来的压力。G项“然而，他们可能会忽略这些工作带来的压力”符合题意。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Once I met a young man whose job was to check noise pollution in a park zone. He loved camping, and his job was like a holiday for him. (有一次我遇到一个年轻人，他的工作是检查公园区域的噪音污染。他喜欢露营，他的工作对他来说就像一个假期)”可知，这个年轻人的工作对他来说像是度假，由此推知，他很喜欢自己的工作。B项“很容易看出他喜欢做他的工作”符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
空处位于文末，应为总结性语言。根据上文“When you think about your future career, remember some cool jobs can be rather difficult and that some ordinary jobs can be quite important. (当你考虑你未来的职业时，记住一些很酷的工作可能相当困难，而一些普通的工作可能非常重要)”即使是普通的工作也很重要，自有其意义。故所有职业的存在都是为了社会的正常运转。C项“然而，所有这些都有助于社会运转”符合语境。故选C。

【详解】1.考查动词词义辨析。句意：有几次，哈里森觉得她已经到了崩溃的边缘，好几个月都躲着她的父亲。A. offended冒犯；B. abused滥用；C. avoided避免；D. approached接近。前句跟爸爸的关系紧张，濒临崩溃，所以应该是回避，故选C。
2.考查动词词义辨析。句意：尽管如此，她还是不能抛弃他。A. abandon抛弃；B. find找到； C. help帮助；D. please使高兴。此处表转折，虽然避而不见，但是不能遗弃，故选A。

4.考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：一些小举动表明，尽管他仍然很难接近他，但他还是很关心她:他会尽力帮助她完成一些任务，比如修复她的办公室。A. help out帮忙；B. set out出发；C. make out辨认；D. work out算出。 根据“such as repairing her office”可知，此处表示爸爸出其不意地来帮她做一些像翻修办公室之类的活，故选A。
5.考查名词词义辨析。句意：当父亲70多岁时，她意识到，如果他们要重建信任，就不能浪费时间。A. connection连接； B. trust信任；C. contact联系；D. love爱。由下段首句Rebuilding trust with her father ultimately helped her to engage in ____9____可知，此处表示“他们要重建信任”，故选B。
6.考查名词词义辨析。句意：她有意识地决定改变对他的反应。A. solutions解决办法；B. responses反应；C. attitudes态度；D. secrets秘密。由下文“If he was being moody during their time together, she'd end their interaction by thanking him for the visit and giving him a hug-something that wasn't typical for them. ”可知，改变的不是对爸爸的态度，而是做法、回应，故选B。
7.考查动词词义辨析。句意：小的干预奏效了；每次拜访他都变得更加和蔼，他的情绪也变得稳定。A. ran跑； B. worked生效，起作用； C. performed表现； D. operated操作。由下文 “became kinder, his moods became stable. Eventually, he began reaching out to her”可知，干预奏效了，故选B。

9.考查名词词义辨析。句意：与父亲重建信任最终帮助她进行自我反省。A. self-confidence自信；B. self-respect自尊；C. self-reliance自力更生，依靠自己；D. self-reflection自我反省。由下文意识到自己的问题可知，这里是自我反省，故选D。

11.考查固定短语词义辨析。句意：她说:“经常保持警惕是很累人的。”A. on duty值日；B. on business出差；C. on guard警惕；D. on display展出。与上文的“感到自己受到威胁”一致，努力一直保持警惕是很累的，故选C。
12.考查动词词义辨析。句意：它剥夺了你生活中的快乐时光。A. rids去除；B.robs剥夺；C. reminds提醒；D. recharges再充电。根据语境和常识可知，一直保持警惕会剥夺你生活中的快乐时光，故选B。
13.考查副词词义辨析。句意：今天，她很感激能够以一颗开放的心更有爱心地接近他人。A. determinedly坚定地；B. enthusiastically热情地；C. lovingly深情地；D. amusedly开心地。由前文可知，现在她变得更容易满怀爱意地、敞开心扉地接近他人，故选C.lovingly与下文“and with an open heart”照应。故选C。

15.考查固定句式。句意：然而，这通常要等到一些伤害的事情发生了——配偶欺骗你或者老板在同事面前取笑你时——我们才想到信任；直到它坏了，我们才会注意到它。由it often isn't until something hurtful happens-a spouse cheats on you; a boss makes fun of you in front of colleagues-- ____15____ we think about trust;可知，此处是强调句型（it is+被强调部分+that+其余部分），表示“这通常要等到一些伤害的事情发生了——配偶欺骗你；当老板在同事面前取笑你时——我们才想到信任”，因此空格处为that，故选D。

【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是在过去几年里，中国不断壮大的中产阶级对肉类的消费多年来不断增长，素食主义肉类革命的绿芽已经开始萌芽。
【36题详解】
1.考查名词。句意：在过去几年里，中国不断壮大的中产阶级对肉类的消费多年来不断增长，素食主义肉类革命的绿芽已经开始萌芽。空格作of的宾语，故用名词形式，即consumption，为不可数名词，故填consumption。
【37题详解】
.考查现在完成时。句意：在过去几年里，中国不断壮大的中产阶级对肉类的消费多年来不断增长，素食主义肉类革命的绿芽已经开始萌芽。由句首的时间状语 over the last couple of years可知，时态用现在完成时，即have/has done sth.，主语shoots为复数，因此空格处为have begun，故填have begun。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：来自上海的25岁学生云范伟(音)是渴望更多选择的新型素食者之一。be hungry for为固定短语，意为“渴望”，故填for。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：它们尝起来不一定像肉，但与豆腐相比，它们是很好的改变。空格处用副词修饰动词taste，not necessarily意为“不一定”，故填necessarily。
【40题详解】
考查不定式。句意：2016年，作为降低碳排放承诺的一部分，中国政府制定了一项将全国肉类摄入量减少50%的计划。根据句意可知，空格处用不定式作plan的后置定语，故填to cut。
【41题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：国内的公司也在设立分店，他们相信国家的支持很快就会到来，尤其是因为政府可能会将替代蛋白质视为实现其碳减排目标的一种方式。句中谓语为are setting up，空格处用非谓语形式，Domestic companies和bet之间为主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，作状语，故填betting。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意：虽然一些生产植物性牛肉和猪肉中国企业已经在一些中国领先的连锁餐厅中成为菜肴，但姚是上海一家生产肉类替代品的公司的首席执行官，他承认该行业在中国仍然很小，但他认为它很快就会成为主流。与后半句形成让步关系，因此空格处为“尽管，虽然”，为though/although/while，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Though/Although/While。
【43题详解】
考查一般现在时和主谓一致。句意：然而，也许事实证明，让人们不再吃肉比这些公司想象的要困难。weaning people off meat动名词作主语， 谓语用单数，prove是系动词，没有被动态，通篇时态为一般现在时，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填proves。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意：我以前吃过素红烧猪肉，但味道和真正的肉不一样。特指taste，用 that替代，故填that。
【45题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：即使它比真肉便宜，我也不会再吃了。retiree为可数名词，此处表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，80-year-old为元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。

二、读后续写（25分）
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 job is just one of the essential jobs, a sanitation（卫生系统）engineer, not a glamorous one, but is considered the alternative. Of course, I never regard it as an ashamed task to be in my position. About the second week of the lockdown because of the Covid-19, I was having trouble finding a sanitizing spray（消毒喷雾）for my truck. The next morning on my way to work at 4 a. m., I stopped at one of the few stores which were open that early, hoping to purchase some. However, it was only open for the police and medical personnel. “Look at my vest please,” I begged to the clerk, “I’m not just buying it for myself.” “I’m more than sorry, sir. But this is just the regulation, and I really can’t help.” replied the smiling girl. As I turned to head back to my car with disappointment, I nearly broke down.
Coming out of the store, my stomach began to call for energy support. I stopped at a 7/11 and ordered an everything bagel（硬面包）with cream cheese to satisfy my poor stomach and my empty heart. It was toasty warm, and I couldn’t wait to dig in. But as I left the store with a little joy coming sweetly from the bagel, I noticed a scene that an old man was sitting at the bus stop, in rags. Knowing that it would probably be his only warm meal of the day, I gave him the bagel without any hesitation. Just when I was ready to turn around for another same bagel, something warming my heart came into being. Another customer, a gentle lady, from the 7/11 offered me half of her bagel. “We everyone should be taken care of at some certain moment.” she said with a tender sweet voice as I smiled to thank her sincerely. I was delighted because I realized that in one way or another, we were all looked after.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
So I decided to go back to the former store to try my luck again for the spray.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just before I gave up, a local policeman was heading into the store.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】So I decided to go back to the former store to try my luck again for the spray. The morning sunlight was bright but tender as I was driving back to the store. Hoping for a miracle, I pulled up at the store and inched close to it. But it was when I got the same reply as before that I was annoyed again by the strict rule. “Please! There isn’t an angel all the time around you.” I whispered. But all hope was not lost for me.
Just before I gave up, a local policeman was heading into the store. Instantly he came in, the policeman spotted my vest and asked me which company I worked for, then continued to thank me for being out there. I replied that it was the police who deserved thanks. When asked if I needed his help, I told him my trouble. He went into the store, purchased the spray and brought it out to me, driving away without taking any money. Again, I believed that we were all looked after in one way or another.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名卫生系统的工程师，疫情期间想为自己的卡车买一个消毒喷雾，却因为“只能卖给警察和医护人员”的规定，被拒绝。走出商店，他为自己买了点充饥的硬面包，看见公交站台一个衣衫褴褛的老人，就毫不犹豫地把面包给了他。正当他准备重新买一个面包时，一位温柔的女士主动把自己的面包分享给他一半，并说：“特殊时期，我们应该互相照顾。”
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我决定回之前的商店再去试试运气买消毒喷壶”可知，第一段可描写作者在商店买喷壶被拒绝。

Last month, I was sorting through an old box when I came across a time capsule, in purple and green floss(丝线). Faded(褪色的)and worn, it was a friendship bracelet(手链)—an important part of my teenage summers. Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood, which my kids will never know firsthand.
My handiwork wasn’t beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them. The experience was intoxicating; physical and concrete, like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond. Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each other, at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.
I slept with my bracelets and showered with them. I wore them all summer long at camp. And I acquired new bracelets from friends there—friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return, as we said our tearful end-of-summer goodbyes. I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends. But now I see that they were really helping me to leave behind childhood.
My kids don’t go to summer camp. They certainly don’t exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends. They hang out on Discord(一种聊天软件)in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets, and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces. There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.
4. Why does the author associate a bracelet with a time capsule
A. It is faded and worn. B. It reminds her of her childhood.
C. It is shaped like a capsule. D. It was made by the author herself.
5. What does the underlined word “intoxicating” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Professional. B. Temporary. C. Exciting. D. Strange.
6. Why does the author think her kids’ childhood is different from hers
A. They make more friends at summer camp. B. They spend too much time on their cellphones.
C. They are unwilling to give bracelets to parents. D. They often send hand-made gifts to their friends.
7. What can be inferred about the friendship bracelets
A. They proved the author’s kids had much to physically hold onto.
B. They represented both the author and her kids’ unforgettable childhood.
C. They gave meaning to the author’s childhood in a way her kids will never know.
D. They recalled the author’s deep sorrow of leaving close friends at summer camp.
C
The number of adults worldwide with dementia(痴呆) could rise from about 57.4 million in 2019 to 152.8 million by 2050, driven by factors like midlife obesity. smoking and social isolation, according to a study published Thursday by the Lancet.
While improvements in education are forecast to reduce dementia cases by 6.2 million in2050, researchers said this would be canceled out by trends in obesity. high blood sugar and smoking, which are estimated to cause an additional 6.8 million cases, the Guardian reported.
Risk factors for dementia also include stress, depression, physical inactivity, diabetes, heavy alcohol consumption, head injury, exposure to air pollution and low education, researchers said.
The rate of dementia is estimated to rise in every country, ranging from a 1,926% increase in Qatar to a 27% increase in Japan, while dementia cases in the U.S. are expected to increase by about 99.67%.
Researchers estimated that dementia cases would increase by roughly 117% by 2050 due to growth of the elderly population alone, a factor forecast to have the severest impact in East Asia. To reduce the risk of dementia, policymakers must support low-cost programs promoting exercise, a healthy diet and quitting smoking, lead author Emma Nichols，a researcher at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, told the Guardian.
Dementia is a syndrome(综合症),usually progressive, which harms memory and other functions of thought beyond what would usually be expected from aging. Though dementia can result from Alzheimer's disease or a stroke, it is not an unavoidable consequence of aging, the World Health Organization said. A 2020 study published by the Lancet suggested that low education might be a risk factor for dementia, because improved health education helps decrease the risk of head injury or of too much alcohol drinking. $818 billion is the annual global cost of treating dementia，the WHO estimated in 2017.Famous figures who were diagnosed with dementia include actress Rita Hayworth, actor James Stewart, former President Ronald Reagan and former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
8. What can we learn from the Guardian report
A. The effects of education on dementia are ignored.
B. There will be 6.8 million cases of dementia in 2050.
C. Education alone can't change the worsening trend in dementia.
D. Obesity, high blood pressure and smoking are the main causes of dementia.
9 Who might have the best lifestyle according to the text
A. Qataris. B. Chinese. C. Americans. D. Japanese.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Dementia can't be avoided as a consequence of aging.
B. Aging has the similar effect on people as dementia does.
C. we can cure dementia if we spend $818 billion every year.
D. Dementia influences people equally regardless of their social status.
11. Where is the text probably from
A. A government report. B. An education paper.
C. A health magazine. D. A product brochure.

Last month it acquired game developer Night School Studio for a secret sum. Amazon, which has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into gaming, finally had a hit with new online game New World.
The video game industry has become one of the world’s most popular and profitable forms of entertainment. Video games generated nearly $178 bn in global income last year according toa market research or on That fire is estimated to outweigh $200 bn by 2023.
For Amazon and Netflix, adding games to their platforms could attract more subscribers. Or at the very least dissuade existing ones from leaving. After a jump caused by pandemic in users, Netflix dropped 430,000 subscribers in the second quarter but regained some of these in the third flix has said in the past that in the “attention economy”, it competes against videogames just as much as video streaming services.
But gaming is a difficult market to enter. For every successful game, there are thousands of flix hones to translate the success of shows like Stranger Things into video game hits. But good games need more than recognizable names. Development requires different infrastructure and talents.
Just ask Disney. The entertainment king shut down its games studio in 2016 and transformed into a licensing model. Also, Amazon spent near $1bn acquiring video-streaming service Twitch, launched gaming streaming service Luna and canceled at least four video games before New World.
Established game makers such as Sony and Microsoft all make money from selling games and consoles (游戏机). Free-to-play mobile games get users to make in-game flix’s plan is to add games for free and as a loss leader to win more subscribers.
The sweet spot may not be in making games at all. Apple and Google sell and distribute games from their app stores and take a cut of as much as 30 percent from each sale. No wonder established game makers are more concerned about middlemen than new entrants.

I am going to discuss some of the choices available to you and which jobs are best suited to you: popular jobs, more unusual jobs or everyday jobs.
___16___ Some jobs may seem dull but are important to society, while others can appear exciting but are actually difficult and boring. One example is the so-called “cool job” of being a model or an actor. These people seem to be living a better life than others. Actually, they have to make far greater efforts than ordinary people and only a few of them are successful. Meanwhile, those who are successful and famous have to deal with constant media attention.___17___
Other popular professions include careers in law or business. Many people have ambitions to become successful as a lawyer or business person. ___18___ These can be well-paid and interesting jobs, but you also have to work long hours.
On the other hand, some people find more unusual jobs suited to their talents and interests. Once I met a young man whose job was to check noise pollution in a park zone. He loved camping, and his job was like a holiday for him. ___19___ There are many other people doing unusual jobs, and they love their jobs, which might not be popular, but are interesting.
Likewise, many ordinary jobs, such as shopkeepers, drivers and barbers, may look plain, but they are necessary to society. Without them, we would not go about our daily lives.
When you think about your future career, remember some cool jobs can be rather difficult and that some ordinary jobs can be quite important. ___20___
A. It does not seem that cool now, does it
B. It was easy to see that he enjoyed doing his job.

My job is just one of the essential jobs, a sanitation（卫生系统）engineer, not a glamorous one, but is considered the alternative. Of course, I never regard it as an ashamed task to be in my position. About the second week of the lockdown because of the Covid-19, I was having trouble finding a sanitizing spray（消毒喷雾）for my truck. The next morning on my way to work at 4 a. m., I stopped at one of the few stores which were open that early, hoping to purchase some. However, it was only open for the police and medical personnel. “Look at my vest please,” I begged to the clerk, “I’m not just buying it for myself.” “I’m more than sorry, sir. But this is just the regulation, and I really can’t help.” replied the smiling girl. As I turned to head back to my car with disappointment, I nearly broke down.
Coming out of the store, my stomach began to call for energy support. I stopped at a 7/11 and ordered an everything bagel（硬面包）with cream cheese to satisfy my poor stomach and my empty heart. It was toasty warm, and I couldn’t wait to dig in. But as I left the store with a little joy coming sweetly from the bagel, I noticed a scene that an old man was sitting at the bus stop, in rags. Knowing that it would probably be his only warm meal of the day, I gave him the bagel without any hesitation. Just when I was ready to turn around for another same bagel, something warming my heart came into being. Another customer, a gentle lady, from the 7/11 offered me half of her bagel. “We everyone should be taken care of at some certain moment.” she said with a tender sweet voice as I smiled to thank her sincerely. I was delighted because I realized that in one way or another, we were all looked after.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
So I decided to go back to the former store to try my luck again for the spray.

Just before I gave up, a local policeman was heading into the store.
