Two years ago, from February 2016 to January 2017, I went on a student exchange program to Auckland in New Zealand. I chose to go to New Zealand because firstly, it is a safe country and secondly, I wanted to go to a country that is culturally different from my own.
I started considering going on a student exchange program after making a backpack trip around the world when I was a freshman (大一新生) at Waseda University. I met so many people of different backgrounds during my trip. When I was travelling, I realized the importance of speaking English. I felt that if I knew English, I could communicate and make friends with a lot of people around the world. Then, I made up my mind to work hard after coming back from the trip.
When I was at Auckland University of Technology, I mainly took classes related to language pedagogy (教学法). Unlike at Waseda University, many of the classes at Auckland University of Technology were held in small class size, usually a class size of 15 students to a teacher. In addition, rather than one-way passive learning, students were required to actively raise their opinions and take part in group discussions in class. The classes were also practical in nature and required a lot of preparation.
Spending a year studying abroad has made me feel more confident in communicating in English. I was also able to meet people of different backgrounds thanks to the exchange paring to the past, I am now a better listener and also better at voicing my opinions. Studying abroad does not only improve my language skills, but also makes me grow as a person.

B. To experience its culture.
C. To volunteer in a safe country.
D. To start his trips around the world.
5. What did the author decide to do after traveling abroad
A. Avoid people from different backgrounds.
B. Further his study during his trip.

A. They are smaller.
B. They have fewer discussions.
C. They are quieter.
D. They call for fewer efforts.
7. What can we say about the author from the last paragraph
A He wants to teach language skills.
B. He decides to study abroad again.
C. He feels thankful for the program.
D. He listens more than he speaks.

When Joseph Novetske finished raking (清理) leaves in his backyard a few weeks ago, he suddenly stopped. “I happened to look at my hand. No ring,” said Novetske, 80, who lives in Charlotte, Michigan, with his wife, Mary Ann. His handmade gold wedding ring, which he wore for 42 years, had gone missing. Worried, he began to look for it.
The couple searched the yard with no luck and it was getting dark. “I was feeling a little hopeless,” said Mary Ann Novetske, 71.
The following morning on Nov. 5, she posted in a private Facebook group called “What’s happening in Charlotte, Michigan now.” “Does anyone have a metal detector (探测器) ” she wrote in a post, explaining what had happened.
Shortly after sharing the post, Mary Ann Novetske had dozens of responses on her post. That afternoon, eight people showed up at their home, five of whom were strangers, and the other three were neighbors, to look for the ring. A few of them had brought metal detectors.
They searched the large backyard. It was filled with several tall piles (堆) of leaves Joseph Novetske had raked the day before. “They didn’t know us, but here they were,” said Mary Ann Novetske. “It was exciting to see so many people care about this.” Her husband was also touched. “We love community,” he said.
When the search had hit hour three, the group collectively began working on a pile of leaves at the back of the yard. Then Joseph Novetske saw something shiny. “I saw the ring shining because it was a beautiful sunny day,” he said. “There it was!” The searchers were overjoyed. While losing the ring was stressful, the couple said that finding it filled them with hope.
“It was a community hunt,” said Lisa Delcamp, who lives next door to the Novetskes. “We should lend a hand and be willing to step in when our neighbors are in need.”
8. What happened to Joseph a few weeks ago

C. They were stressful. D. They were moved.

Scientists have developed a flying dragon, called the Dragon Firefighter that will be able to fight fire - by shooting water out of its mouth.
The Dragon, invented by Japanese researchers, is expected to join firefighter teams to put out fires that are too large and dangerous for humans to fight. “We here present a prototype (原型) of a four-meter-long, remotely controllable flying firehose (消防水带) robot, designed to safely and quickly put out fires in buildings by directly getting close to the fire sources,” said Dr Yuichi Ambe, from Osaka University. Researchers also worked closely with Japanese firefighters to understand the type of help they may need when fighting bigger fires.
This is not the first time the robot has shown its potential to the world, however. The Dragon Firefighter was introduced at the World Robot Summit in 2021, where it managed to put out a fire around 4 meters away. “Since the show at the World Robot Summit, we have continued to work on improving our Dragon and have learned many new things,” said Dr Yu Yamauchi, from Akia Prefectural University.
“For example, we found that the original passive dampening mechanism (洒水机制) had its problem: it took too long to prepare for flight. We also found that heat from fires can greatly influence the outdoor applications of the corrugated tube (波纹管) that holds the water hose and electric cables (电缆).”
Since its first show, improvements have been made to improve the mouth it uses to shoot out water. Despite this, it could be a long time before you see the Dragon Firefighter out in the real world. “We believe that it will take about 10 more years to offer our robot in real-world firefighting situations,” said Ambe. “The primary challenge will be to increase its reach to beyond 10 meters. Developing useful firefighting methods for this robot’s unique potential will be a key part of further development.”
12. Why is the Dragon Firefighter designed
A. To help firefighters put out big fires.
B. To find out the causes of fire.
C. To direct firefighters in the future.
D. To check the progress of fire.
13. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the World Robot Summit in 2021
A. To stress the wide interest in the Dragon.
B. To introduce the Dragon’s second show.
C. To prove the Dragon’s potential.
D. To show the Dragon’s improvement.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the Dragon Firefighter
A. Its wide applications. B. Its original problems.
C. Its working conditions. D. Its recent developments.
15. What does Ambe think of the Dragon Firefighter
A. It is far from useful in the real world.
B. It should be tested in the show.
C. It has solved the primary challenge.
D. It needs time before application.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is believed that it’s dangerous to have plants in the bedroom. Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO ) and produce oxygen (氧气) in the day. ____16____. The build-up of CO is a real problem for indoor air quality, which has been shown to influence health, so it is easy to see where the concern comes from. But to consider whether sharing our bedroom with our plants can harm health, we should consider three things.
Firstly, how much CO do plants produce at night compared with what they take in during the day ____17____ For the answer depends on everything from species to light levels and even room temperature.
Thankfully, in 2015, researchers at Turkey’s Kastamonu University found that large houseplants take in between six and eight times as much CO2 in the day as they produce at night.
____18____ A single human breath contains around 40, 000 ppm of CO2, more than 10 times the effect a plant could have in 8 hours, so you might want to throw your partner out before your plants.
Finally, we don’t live in the sealed (密封的) boxes in which these studies are carried out. ____19____ The air is even exchanged when we move around. According to one recent review, we need houseplants to keep indoor air fresh, and to fight some pollution. ____20____
Let’s enjoy houseplants whenever we like because if sleeping near plants were bad for our health, camping in a forest would be deadly.
A. This is hard to answer.
B. So, they are quite necessary.
C. The question has more than one answer.
D. Besides, we often share a room with someone else.
E. Indoor air is being exchanged through doors and windows.
F. At night they compete with us for the air we breathe while asleep.
G. Secondly, compare the influence of a plant with that of a person sharing a room.

Letts, ____27____, couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Letts believes in helping others, so donating a kidney “was something that was always on my ____28____,”he says. So, about a quarter-mile away from Sumiel’s house, Letts said, “I’d like to see if I could be a match to ____29____ you a kidney. ”
“I was _____30_____,”Sumiel recalled. Shaking so hard, he could hardly write his name when they _____31_____ contact information.

Sometimes, making a decision is hard for adults while easy for kids. The Jackson family had been meaning to buy some new furniture (家具) for ages, but somehow they never got round to it. There were always so many other things to do. Then one day there was a big shout from the room of Jason, 12. The rest of the family ran to see what happened.
Jason’s desk had broken. There were bits of wood and pens and papers all over the floor. And in the middle was Jason! “I was just doing my homework.” he said, “and then -bang! The desk broke. Everything fell over. I was so surprised that I fell over too!” Laughed Jane, 5. “That decides it.” said Mum. “We need to buy some new furniture before anything else breaks. Jane needs a new bed. And Jason needs a desk, so that he can do his homework. ”
So that weekend, the family got up early, and set off for the big furniture store outside town. It was huge. There was so much furniture, some of it was arranged like in a real house.
“Look, I’m playing houses (过家家),” said Jane, crawling ( 爬 ) under a table. Jane loved playing houses. “That’s enough,” Mum said, taking tight hold of Jane’s hand. Jane didn’t like it, but she had to stay close. The family chose a new bed for Jane, who was bored now, and tired. She didn’t say much, while the rest of the family discussed which desk to get. Jason had found one he liked but Mum and Dad couldn’t agree.
“It’s too big.” said Mum. “There’s not enough space in his room.”
“It’s too small,” said Dad. “There’s not enough space for his homework. ”
“I think it’s just right!” said Jason.
“Let’s get a cup of tea while we try and decide,” said Mum.“There’s a cafe in the store.” Dad thought this was a good idea. He needed a sit down, he said, and Jason really wanted a milkshake (奶昔). “What do you think, Jane ” asked Mum. Then she looked round. “Where is she I think she’s jumping on the sofa!”
But there was no sign of Jane on the sofa. Then Jason wondered if she could be lying on her new bed!

Two years ago, from February 2016 to January 2017, I went on a student exchange program to Auckland in New Zealand. I chose to go to New Zealand because firstly, it is a safe country and secondly, I wanted to go to a country that is culturally different from my own.
I started considering going on a student exchange program after making a backpack trip around the world when I was a freshman (大一新生) at Waseda University. I met so many people of different backgrounds during my trip. When I was travelling, I realized the importance of speaking English. I felt that if I knew English, I could communicate and make friends with a lot of people around the world. Then, I made up my mind to work hard after coming back from the trip.
When I was at Auckland University of Technology, I mainly took classes related to language pedagogy (教学法). Unlike at Waseda University, many of the classes at Auckland University of Technology were held in small class size, usually a class size of 15 students to a teacher. In addition, rather than one-way passive learning, students were required to actively raise their opinions and take part in group discussions in class. The classes were also practical in nature and required a lot of preparation.
Spending a year studying abroad has made me feel more confident in communicating in English. I was also able to meet people of different backgrounds thanks to the exchange paring to the past, I am now a better listener and also better at voicing my opinions. Studying abroad does not only improve my language skills, but also makes me grow as a person.

When Joseph Novetske finished raking (清理) leaves in his backyard a few weeks ago, he suddenly stopped. “I happened to look at my hand. No ring,” said Novetske, 80, who lives in Charlotte, Michigan, with his wife, Mary Ann. His handmade gold wedding ring, which he wore for 42 years, had gone missing. Worried, he began to look for it.
The couple searched the yard with no luck and it was getting dark. “I was feeling a little hopeless,” said Mary Ann Novetske, 71.
The following morning on Nov. 5, she posted in a private Facebook group called “What’s happening in Charlotte, Michigan now.” “Does anyone have a metal detector (探测器) ” she wrote in a post, explaining what had happened.
Shortly after sharing the post, Mary Ann Novetske had dozens of responses on her post. That afternoon, eight people showed up at their home, five of whom were strangers, and the other three were neighbors, to look for the ring. A few of them had brought metal detectors.
They searched the large backyard. It was filled with several tall piles (堆) of leaves Joseph Novetske had raked the day before. “They didn’t know us, but here they were,” said Mary Ann Novetske. “It was exciting to see so many people care about this.” Her husband was also touched. “We love community,” he said.
When the search had hit hour three, the group collectively began working on a pile of leaves at the back of the yard. Then Joseph Novetske saw something shiny. “I saw the ring shining because it was a beautiful sunny day,” he said. “There it was!” The searchers were overjoyed. While losing the ring was stressful, the couple said that finding it filled them with hope.
“It was a community hunt,” said Lisa Delcamp, who lives next door to the Novetskes. “We should lend a hand and be willing to step in when our neighbors are in need.”
8. What happened to Joseph a few weeks ago
A. He lost his gold ring. B. He fell in his backyard.
C. He couldn’t find his home. D. He couldn’t contact his wife.
9. Why did Mary Ann write a post on Facebook
A. To start a group discussion. B. To show her experiences.
C. To ask for a special tool. D. To share happy moments.
10. What can we learn about the couple after they saw the eight people show up
A. They invited neighbors over. B. They cleaned the leaves.
C. They were stressful. D. They were moved.
11. What do the words “step in” in the last paragraph mean
A. Attend. B. Help C. Change D. Challenge
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B

细节理解题。根据第三段“The following morning on Nov. 5, she posted in a private Facebook group called “What’s happening in Charlotte, Michigan now. ”“Does anyone have a metal detector (探测器) ”she wrote in a post, explaining what had happened.”（第二天早上，11月5日，她在一个名为“密歇根州夏洛特市现在发生了什么”的私人Facebook群中发帖。“有人有金属探测器吗 ”她在一篇帖子中写道，解释了发生的事情。）可知，Mary Ann发帖子的目的是寻找一个特殊的工具。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段““It was exciting to see so many people care about this. ”Her husband was also touched. “We love community, “he said.”（“看到这么多人关心这个问题，我很兴奋。”她的丈夫也被感动了。“我们喜欢社区，”他说。）可知，在这对夫妇看到八个人出现后，他们都很感动。故选D项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“We should lend a hand”（我们应该伸出援助之手）根据“when our neighbors are in need”（当我们的邻居需要帮助的时候）可知，当我们的邻居需要帮助的时候，我们应该帮助他们。所以“step in”的意思是“帮忙”。故选B项。

Scientists have developed a flying dragon, called the Dragon Firefighter that will be able to fight fire - by shooting water out of its mouth.
The Dragon, invented by Japanese researchers, is expected to join firefighter teams to put out fires that are too large and dangerous for humans to fight. “We here present a prototype (原型) of a four-meter-long, remotely controllable flying firehose (消防水带) robot, designed to safely and quickly put out fires in buildings by directly getting close to the fire sources,” said Dr Yuichi Ambe, from Osaka University. Researchers also worked closely with Japanese firefighters to understand the type of help they may need when fighting bigger fires.
This is not the first time the robot has shown its potential to the world, however. The Dragon Firefighter was introduced at the World Robot Summit in 2021, where it managed to put out a fire around 4 meters away. “Since the show at the World Robot Summit, we have continued to work on improving our Dragon and have learned many new things,” said Dr Yu Yamauchi, from Akia Prefectural University.
“For example, we found that the original passive dampening mechanism (洒水机制) had its problem: it took too long to prepare for flight. We also found that heat from fires can greatly influence the outdoor applications of the corrugated tube (波纹管) that holds the water hose and electric cables (电缆).”
Since its first show, improvements have been made to improve the mouth it uses to shoot out water. Despite this, it could be a long time before you see the Dragon Firefighter out in the real world. “We believe that it will take about 10 more years to offer our robot in real-world firefighting situations,” said Ambe. “The primary challenge will be to increase its reach to beyond 10 meters. Developing useful firefighting methods for this robot’s unique potential will be a key part of further development.”
12. Why is the Dragon Firefighter designed
A. To help firefighters put out big fires.
B. To find out the causes of fire.
C. To direct firefighters in the future.
D. To check the progress of fire.
13. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the World Robot Summit in 2021
A. To stress the wide interest in the Dragon.
B. To introduce the Dragon’s second show.
C. To prove the Dragon’s potential.
D. To show the Dragon’s improvement.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the Dragon Firefighter
A. Its wide applications. B. Its original problems.
C. Its working conditions. D. Its recent developments.
15. What does Ambe think of the Dragon Firefighter
A. It is far from useful in the real world.
B. It should be tested in the show.
C. It has solved the primary challenge.
D. It needs time before application.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新型消防机器人“飞龙”的相关信息。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The Dragon, invented by Japanese researchers, is expected to join firefighter teams to put out fires that are too large and dangerous for humans to fight.”（日本研究人员发明的“龙”有望加入消防员队伍，扑灭人类无法扑灭的大而危险的火灾。）可知，日本研究人员发明的Dragon Firefighter旨在扑灭人类无法处理的重大火灾。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This is not the first time the robot has shown its potential to the world, however. The Dragon Firefighter was introduced at the World Robot Summit in 2021, where it managed to put out a fire around 4 meters away. ”（然而，这并不是机器人第一次向世界展示它的潜力。Dragon Firefighter 在2021年世界机器人峰会上亮相，成功扑灭了4米外的大火）可知，Dragon扑灭了4米外的大火。由此推知，提到2021世界机器人峰会是为了表明Dragon的潜力。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段““For example, we found that the original passive dampening mechanism bad its problem: it took too long to prepare for flight We also found that heat from fires can greatly influence the outdoor applications of the corrugated tube that holds the water hose and electric cables . ””（“例如，我们发现原来的被动阻尼机制存在问题：准备飞行需要太长时间。我们还发现，火灾产生的热量会极大地影响波纹管的户外应用，波纹管是用来装水管和电缆的。”）可知，该段提到Dragon Firefighter所存在的问题。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中““We believe that it will take about 10 more years to offer our robot in real-world firefighting situations, ”said Ambe.”（Amber说:“我们相信，还需要大约10年的时间，我们的机器人才能在现实世界的消防环境中发挥作用。”）可知，Amber认为在这个机器人能正式运用在现实世界前还需要一定的时间改进。故选D。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is believed that it’s dangerous to have plants in the bedroom. Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO ) and produce oxygen (氧气) in the day. ____16____. The build-up of CO is a real problem for indoor air quality, which has been shown to influence health, so it is easy to see where the concern comes from. But to consider whether sharing our bedroom with our plants can harm health, we should consider three things.
Firstly, how much CO do plants produce at night compared with what they take in during the day ____17____ For the answer depends on everything from species to light levels and even room temperature.
Thankfully, in 2015, researchers at Turkey’s Kastamonu University found that large houseplants take in between six and eight times as much CO2 in the day as they produce at night.
____18____ A single human breath contains around 40, 000 ppm of CO2, more than 10 times the effect a plant could have in 8 hours, so you might want to throw your partner out before your plants.
Finally, we don’t live in the sealed (密封的) boxes in which these studies are carried out. ____19____ The air is even exchanged when we move around. According to one recent review, we need houseplants to keep indoor air fresh, and to fight some pollution. ____20____
Let’s enjoy houseplants whenever we like, because if sleeping near plants were bad for our health, camping in a forest would be deadly.
A. This is hard to answer.
B. So they are quite necessary.
C. The question has more than one answer.
D. Besides, we often share a room with someone else.
E. Indoor air is being exchanged through doors and windows.
F. At night they compete with us for the air we breathe while asleep.
G. Secondly, compare the influence of a plant with that of a person sharing a room.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. E 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，说明了和植物共用卧室是否会损害健康，并告诉我们植物对我们的重要性。
【16题详解】
根据前文“It is believed that it’s dangerous to have plants in the bedroom. Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO ) and produce oxygen (氧气) in the day.(人们认为卧室里有植物是危险的。植物在白天吸收二氧化碳(CO )并产生氧气)”及后文“The build-up of CO is a real problem for indoor air quality, which has been shown to influence health, so it is easy to see where the concern comes from.(二氧化碳的积累是影响健康的室内空气质量的真正问题，因此很容易看出担忧的来源)”可知，空处描述人们认为卧室夜间摆放植物危害的原因，F选项“在晚上，它们与我们争夺我们睡觉时呼吸的空气”解释原因。故选F项。
【17题详解】
空前“Firstly, how much CO do plants produce at night compared with what they take in during the day (首先，与白天吸收的二氧化碳相比，植物在晚上产生多少CO ？)”提出问题，表明“植物在夜间产生的二氧化碳与白天吸收的相比有多少？”后文“For the answer depends on everything from species to light levels and even room temperature.(因为答案取决于各种因素，从物种到光照水平，甚至是室温)”可知，这个问题是难以回答的，A选项“这个问题很难回答”符合语境。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据前文firstly，后文finally及后文“A single human breath contains around 40, 000 ppm of CO2, more than 10 times the effect a plant could have in 8 hours, so you might want to throw your partner out before your plants.(一个人的呼吸中含有大约40000ppm的二氧化碳，是一株植物在8小时内释放的二氧化碳的10倍以上，所以你可能想在你的植物之前把你的伴侣扔出去)”可知，该空应讲第二点，且把植物和人作比较，G选项“其次，比较一棵植物和一个人共用一个房间的影响”符合语境，引起下文。故选G项。
【19题详解】
前文“Finally, we don’t live in the sealed (密封的) boxes in which these studies are carried out.(最后，我们并不生活在进行这些研究的密封盒子里)”及后文“The air is even exchanged when we move around.(当我们走动时，空气也在交换)”可知，E选项“室内空气通过门窗进行交换”表明与植物对比，人的生活空间与外界相连，没有处在研究实验条件下，空气是流通的，且解释下一句。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“According to one recent review, we need houseplants to keep indoor air fresh, and to fight some pollution.(根据最近的一篇综述，我们需要室内植物来保持室内空气新鲜，并对抗一些污染)”可知，植物对我们是重要的，B选项“所以，它们是非常必要的”中they指代植物，符合前文语境。故选B项。

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。
Sometimes, making a decision is hard for adults while easy for kids. The Jackson family had been meaning to buy some new furniture (家具) for ages, but somehow they never got round to it. There were always so many other things to do. Then one day there was a big shout from the room of Jason, 12. The rest of the family ran to see what happened.
Jason’s desk had broken. There were bits of wood and pens and papers all over the floor. And in the middle was Jason! “I was just doing my homework.” he said, “and then -bang! The desk broke. Everything fell over. I was so surprised that I fell over too!” Laughed Jane, 5. “That decides it.” said Mum. “We need to buy some new furniture before anything else breaks. Jane needs a new bed. And Jason needs a desk, so that he can do his homework. ”
So that weekend, the family got up early, and set off for the big furniture store outside town. It was huge. There was so much furniture, some of it was arranged like in a real house.
“Look, I’m playing houses (过家家),” said Jane, crawling ( 爬 ) under a table. Jane loved playing houses. “That’s enough,” Mum said, taking tight hold of Jane’s hand. Jane didn’t like it, but she had to stay close. The family chose a new bed for Jane, who was bored now, and tired. She didn’t say much, while the rest of the family discussed which desk to get. Jason had found one he liked but Mum and Dad couldn’t agree.
“It’s too big.” said Mum. “There’s not enough space in his room.”
“It’s too small,” said Dad. “There’s not enough space for his homework. ”
“I think it’s just right!” said Jason.
“Let’s get a cup of tea while we try and decide,” said Mum.“There’s a cafe in the store.” Dad thought this was a good idea. He needed a sit down, he said, and Jason really wanted a milkshake (奶昔). “What do you think, Jane ” asked Mum. Then she looked round. “Where is she I think she’s jumping on the sofa!”
But there was no sign of Jane on the sofa. Then Jason wondered if she could be lying on her new bed!

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】But there was no Jane on the bed. Mum and Dad were really worried now. Mum called Jane’s name, but there was no Jane to be found. Jason was anxious too. If he had kept an eye on his sister, she wouldn’t have gone missing. Dad advised scattering and searching for any spot she could hide in . Mum took care of the sofa, Dad searched under the bed, and Jason was responsible for the bed. As Jason tried to approach a pink bed, he found a figure in the desk cabinet. It was Jane who was sleeping like a baby.
When Jason pushed Jane softly, she woke up and came crawling out. “What were you doing ” Jason asked. Adorable Jane raised her head, with a smile unfolding. “Look! I think the desk is perfect for your room. Neither too big nor too small.” At the first glance, Jason was sure that was it! Painted brown, the desk was designed fit for a medium room, not to mention its multiple drawers where Jason could place his books. Soon after, Dad and Mum also found the children and agreed. After Jane finally chose what she wanted, the Jacksons sat in the café, enjoying the fruits of shopping contentedly.
