Zhu Dejun’s first job after graduating from college was as a road design engineer in his hometown, Alshaa League, North Chin’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region(内蒙古自治区). In 2011, when Zhu was conducting a road survey along with his colleagues, he saw a plant that he didn’t recognize. Later, Zhu learned that the plant was a saxaul (灌木梭梭) tree which is an excellent tree species for sand fixation and afforestation (造林) in desert areas. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of desert land, according to Zhu.
Zhu quit (辞去) his job at the design institute in 2014 and joined a nonprofit organization, the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Conservation, or SEE, in the same year, concentrating on dealing with desertification (沙漠化) .During the past eight years, Zhu has been leading a team from SEE to plant saxaul trees in sandy areas in Alshaa League and other places of Inner Mongolia.
In 2014, the SEE launched a project titled “one million saxaul trees”, aiming to reach that number from 2014 to 2023, turning the desert of more than 133, 330 hectares (公顷) back into a satisfying ecosystem. By the end of 2018, half of the organization’s goal had been achieved. In 2016, Ant Finance cooperated with SEE to introduce the Ant Forest platform, not only encouraging people to choose “a low-carbon way” of shopping, traveling and living, but also to help control desertification.
Through the participation of a greater number of online users, who grow virtual trees, the SEE Foundation, set up in 2008, has been providing subsidies (补助金) for local herdsmen and farmers while also offering technological support to plant saxaul trees in desert areas. Now, Zhu is the head of the foundation’s project to fight desertification. He also gives lectures about saxaul trees and the fight against desertification at schools, hoping to raise awareness among young people.
4. What did Zhu Dejun do first after graduation

D. They encouraged donation from online users.
7. How can online users help Zhu’s team

While the remaining 8 teams of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar compete in the quarter-finals, it is worth noting that it is not only soccer that has captured the world’s attention, but also the video assistant referee (VAR) technology.
Like it or hate it, the VAR is a part of football games today.
Many football fans question whether the system made the game better or if it added unnecessary some complication to the beautiful game, especially this time in Qatar, as a number of controversial (引起争议的) decisions were made involving VAR – it slows down the game, offside law (越位规则) is sometimes not flexible.
The introduction of the VAR means at the top-level football now tends to pause and delay with the on-field referee often waiting for decisions to be made by those located in offices often far away from the stadiums themselves.
Actually, the use of video match officials (VMOs) in football was included in the 2018/2019 edition of the Laws of the Game and was already used at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Since then, the system has been used in over 100 competitions worldwide.
Despite criticisms, FIFA thought VAR’s first show to be a success, with referee committee head Pierluigi Collina claiming that 99.3 percent of “match-changing” decisions were called correctly at the World Cup – “very, very close to perfection”. Without VAR, referees called 95% of incidents correctly.
We should admit that sports tech is still far from perfect in the field of sports events. People’s emotions are not towards those technologies themselves, but the current shortcomings of the application of the technology.
The controversies in the football field are not caused by VAR alone as there are too many uncertain factors on the court, which is a part of the game drama. For example, the penalty kick (点球) in the penalty area is judged in a variety of situations.
8. What made fans dissatisfied in Qatar
A. The use of VAR technology.
B. The results of soccer games.
C. The changes of match laws.
D. The decisions made by coaches.
9. What does the underlined word “referee” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Viewer. B. Athlete. C. Judge. D. Host.
10. Why did Collina favor the use of VAR
A. It reduces the burden of the referees.
B. It has become a part of football games.
C. It is widely applied in many fields of sports.
D. Its “match-changing” decisions proved more exact.
11. What is probably the best title for the text
A. World Cup 2022 is a turning point
B. Is VAR technology ruining football games
C. Should VAR be popularized in the sports world
D. The 2022 World Cup saw the first show of VAR
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文。视频助理裁判技术已经成为当今足球比赛的一部分，但是也备受质疑：它是否让比赛变得更精彩，或者是否让精彩的比赛变得更加复杂了呢？
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“especially this time in Qatar, as a number of controversial (引起争议的) decisions were made involving VAR – it slows down the game, offside law(越位规则) is sometimes not flexible.”(尤其是这次在卡塔尔，由于VAR做出了许多有争议的决定——这会减慢比赛速度，越位法有时并不灵活。)可知，VAR作出的一些裁判决策让本应精彩的球赛增加了一些不必要的复杂性，从而引发球迷不满。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“The introduction of the VAR means at the top-level football now tends to pause and delay with the on-field referee often waiting for decisions to be made by those located in offices often far away from the stadiums themselves.”(VAR的引入意味着顶级足球现在往往会暂停和拖延，场上referee经常等待那些位于办公室的人做出决定，而办公室往往远离体育场。)可知，在VAR引入球场后，判罚需根据回放视频才能决定。所以赛场上的裁判经常需要等待办公室的人根据回放视频向其提供信息而从作出判罚决定。所以referee意为“裁判”。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Despite criticisms, FIFA thought VAR’s first show to be a success, with referee committee head Pierluigi Collina claiming that 99.3 percent of “match-changing” decisions were called correctly at the World Cup – “very, very close to perfection”. Without VAR, referees called 95% of incidents correctly.”(尽管受到批评，国际足联认为VAR的首秀是成功的，裁判委员会主席Pierluigi Collina声称，世界杯上99.3%的“改变比赛”的判罚是正确的——“非常、非常接近完美”。在没有VAR的情况下，裁判正确判罚了95%的赛事。)可知，世界杯上99. 3%的“改变比赛”的判罚被认为是正确的判罚，而在没有视频助理裁判的情况下，裁判判罚的正确率为95%。所以VAR被证实判罚准确率更高，所以Collina才会支持VAR。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Like it or hate it, the VAR is a part of football games today.”(不管你喜不喜欢，VAR是当今足球比赛的一部分。)可知，VAR虽然存在争议，但在当今足球比赛中广泛使用。第三段第一句“Many football fans question whether the system made the game better or if it added unnecessary some complication to the beautiful game”(许多足球迷质疑这个系统是让比赛变得更好，还是给这场漂亮的比赛增加了不必要的复杂性)。可知，VAR技术是存在争议的，很多球迷质疑VAR技术，持不满态度。第六段Collina称VAR技术判罚的准确率更高，持支持态度。由此可知这篇文章主要讲述VAR这一技术现在存在争议，对于是否能促进比赛的精彩还是会毁坏一场比赛仍然处于争议，不同的人有不同的看法。B项“Is VAR technology ruining football games (VAR技术正在破坏足球比赛吗 )”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B项。
D
The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.
Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices (香料), cloth, valuable stones and gold.
There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Sortie of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.
During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.
In modern times, the old Silk Road routes (路线) are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000, objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.
12. How many kilometers did the Silk Road cover
A. About 3000. B. Nearly 6500. C. Almost 2000. D. Over 35,000.

B. The Silk Road allowed people from different countries to mix.
C. Ancient Chinese along the Silk Road maybe able to speak different languages.
D. The objects in the museum in Jiuquan in China are from all along the Silk Road.

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers.(当中国丝绸贸易世界上变得重要时，丝绸之路已覆盖近6500公里)”可知，丝绸之路覆盖近6500公里，故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices (香料), cloth, valuable stones and gold.(沿着丝绸之路旅行的商人当然携带丝绸。他们还携带和交易香料、布料、宝石和黄金。)”可知，丝绸，布料和黄金文中都提到了，没有提到茶叶，故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.(其中包括来自地中海、波斯、马扎尔、亚美尼亚、大夏、印度和中国地区的人和贸易货物。所有这些民族都走过丝绸之路，他们分享商品、故事、语言和文化)”可知，古丝绸之路沿线有很多不同的国家，人们分享商品、故事、语言和文化;由此可推知，丝绸之路沿线的古代中国人也许能说不同的语言。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers.

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。
Mike was a big fan of football. When he was ten years old, he was admitted to join his first football team. As soon as he got home that day, he put on his uniform and admired himself in front of the mirror.
“I’m a real football player!” He said to himself and pretended to practise football.
“What are you doing, silly boy ” asked his older sister.
“I’m practising football,” said Mike.
“When people practise football, they usually use a ball,” his sister laughed.
Mike then found a football in the basement and hurried back to his room, posing with the ball in front of the mirror, again.
The next day, Mike met his teammates on the playground. The coach taught them how to kick and run after the ball. He taught them how to throw the ball in from the sidelines, using two hands while keeping both feet on the ground. Finally, they had a practice game.
It turned out that playing football was a lot harder than it looked. Every time Mike was about to kick the ball, someone else kicked it away from him. When Mike threw the ball in from the sideline, he forgot to keep both feet on the ground. The only thing that Mike was good at was cheering. Whoever scored, he would jump up and cheer for them.
On the weekend, Mike’s team was invited to take part in its first real competition with the Sun. Mike’s family all came to watch. Mike chased the ball up and down, with excitement. It came as no surprise that their team lost the match. Even so, he kept cheering for anyone who scored.
After the game, his sister came over and reminded Mike that he needed to be a real football player, not just a cheerleader. Meanwhile, his coach told Mike that if he tried to do more practice and cooperate with his teammates, he could be a better football player, too.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Finally, the day for the match between his team and the Sun came.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Motivated by their words, Mike started to take the training more seriously. Day after day, he spared no effort to practice, regardless of wind or rain. Every time he felt too tired to continue, their words lifted his spirits and pushed him to rise to his feet again. With the coach’s guidance and his dedicated training, Mike found himself making steady progress. The whole team also became more confident and was looking forward to the next match against the Sun.
Finally, the day for the match between his team and the Sun came. Thinking of all the effort he had made for the game, Mike, fully-prepared and confident, took a deep breath and stepped onto the football field. Instead of chasing the ball up and down aimlessly, he kept passing the ball right to his teammates who were better at scoring. At length, his team won the game and all the teammates ran to him and threw him into the air with deafening cheers.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Mike热爱足球并加入一支足球队，但他自己不擅长踢足球，只会为进球而欢呼，在一次比赛输掉后，他的教练说道，如果他努力多练习，与队友合作，他也可以成为一名更好的足球运动员。

Zhu Dejun’s first job after graduating from college was as a road design engineer in his hometown, Alshaa League, North Chin’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region(内蒙古自治区). In 2011, when Zhu was conducting a road survey along with his colleagues, he saw a plant that he didn’t recognize. Later, Zhu learned that the plant was a saxaul (灌木梭梭) tree which is an excellent tree species for sand fixation and afforestation (造林) in desert areas. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of desert land, according to Zhu.
Zhu quit (辞去) his job at the design institute in 2014 and joined a nonprofit organization, the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Conservation, or SEE, in the same year, concentrating on dealing with desertification (沙漠化) .During the past eight years, Zhu has been leading a team from SEE to plant saxaul trees in sandy areas in Alshaa League and other places of Inner Mongolia.
In 2014, the SEE launched a project titled “one million saxaul trees”, aiming to reach that number from 2014 to 2023, turning the desert of more than 133, 330 hectares (公顷) back into a satisfying ecosystem. By the end of 2018, half of the organization’s goal had been achieved. In 2016, Ant Finance cooperated with SEE to introduce the Ant Forest platform, not only encouraging people to choose “a low-carbon way” of shopping, traveling and living, but also to help control desertification.
Through the participation of a greater number of online users, who grow virtual trees, the SEE Foundation, set up in 2008, has been providing subsidies (补助金) for local herdsmen and farmers while also offering technological support to plant saxaul trees in desert areas. Now, Zhu is the head of the foundation’s project to fight desertification. He also gives lectures about saxaul trees and the fight against desertification at schools, hoping to raise awareness among young people.

While the remaining 8 teams of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar compete in the quarter-finals, it is worth noting that it is not only soccer that has captured the world’s attention, but also the video assistant referee (VAR) technology.
Like it or hate it, the VAR is a part of football games today.
Many football fans question whether the system made the game better or if it added unnecessary some complication to the beautiful game, especially this time in Qatar, as a number of controversial (引起争议的) decisions were made involving VAR – it slows down the game, offside law (越位规则) is sometimes not flexible.
The introduction of the VAR means at the top-level football now tends to pause and delay with the on-field referee often waiting for decisions to be made by those located in offices often far away from the stadiums themselves.
Actually, the use of video match officials (VMOs) in football was included in the 2018/2019 edition of the Laws of the Game and was already used at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Since then, the system has been used in over 100 competitions worldwide.
Despite criticisms, FIFA thought VAR’s first show to be a success, with referee committee head Pierluigi Collina claiming that 99.3 percent of “match-changing” decisions were called correctly at the World Cup – “very, very close to perfection”. Without VAR, referees called 95% of incidents correctly.
We should admit that sports tech is still far from perfect in the field of sports events. People’s emotions are not towards those technologies themselves, but the current shortcomings of the application of the technology.
The controversies in the football field are not caused by VAR alone as there are too many uncertain factors on the court, which is a part of the game drama. For example, the penalty kick (点球) in the penalty area is judged in a variety of situations.
8. What made fans dissatisfied in Qatar
A The use of VAR technology.
B. The results of soccer games.
C. The changes of match laws.
D. The decisions made by coaches.
9 What does the underlined word “referee” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Viewer. B. Athlete. C. Judge. D. Host.
10. Why did Collina favor the use of VAR
A. It reduces the burden of the referees.
B. It has become a part of football games.
C. It is widely applied in many fields of sports.
D Its “match-changing” decisions proved more exact.
11. What is probably the best title for the text
A. World Cup 2022 is a turning point
B. Is VAR technology ruining football games
C. Should VAR be popularized in the sports world
D. The 2022 World Cup saw the first show of VAR
D

Mike was a big fan of football. When he was ten years old, he was admitted to join his first football team. As soon as he got home that day, he put on his uniform and admired himself in front of the mirror.
“I’m a real football player!” He said to himself and pretended to practise football.
“What are you doing, silly boy ” asked his older sister.
“I’m practising football,” said Mike.
“When people practise football, they usually use a ball,” his sister laughed.
Mike then found a football in the basement and hurried back to his room, posing with the ball in front of the mirror, again.
The next day, Mike met his teammates on the playground. The coach taught them how to kick and run after the ball. He taught them how to throw the ball in from the sidelines, using two hands while keeping both feet on the ground. Finally, they had a practice game.
It turned out that playing football was a lot harder than it looked. Every time Mike was about to kick the ball, someone else kicked it away from him. When Mike threw the ball in from the sideline, he forgot to keep both feet on the ground. The only thing that Mike was good at was cheering. Whoever scored, he would jump up and cheer for them.
On the weekend, Mike’s team was invited to take part in its first real competition with the Sun. Mike’s family all came to watch. Mike chased the ball up and down, with excitement. It came as no surprise that their team lost the match. Even so, he kept cheering for anyone who scored.
After the game, his sister came over and reminded Mike that he needed to be a real football player, not just a cheerleader. Meanwhile, his coach told Mike that if he tried to do more practice and cooperate with his teammates, he could be a better football player, too.
