I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car-I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as 600 a month.
And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.
But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car” (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)
My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.
Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.
4.The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.
A.most families chose to go car-free
B.he was hurt in a terrible car accident
C.the cost of a new car was too much
D.the traffic jam was unbearable for him
5.What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan
A.Supportive. B.Disapproving.
C.Optimistic. D.Unconcerned.
6.What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion
A.Argue against it. B.Take their advice.
C.Think it over. D.Leave it alone.
7.What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life
A.Life cannot go without a car.
B.Life without a car is a little bit hard.
C.His life gets improved without a car.
D.A car-free life does not suit everyone.
C
By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing. ” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”
And why does that matter Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.
Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”
8.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about
A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.
D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.
9.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Sensitive. B.Beneficial. C.Significant. D.Unnoticeable.
10.What can we learn from the passage
A.Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B.Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.
C.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.
D.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
11.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.
B.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.
C.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.
D.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.
D
While facial recognition technology continues to promote many aspects of human life, it’s now being applied to aid the protection of giant pandas, Xinhua News Agency reported on 6 January, 2022.
A nature reserve has built an AI-enabled video monitoring system to better protect giant pandas. Equipped with some 300 infrared (红外线的) cameras, the monitoring system helps ensure the health and safety of 110 wild giant pandas there. It was put into operation more than two years ago and has since captured (拍摄) numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas’ living conditions and establish conservation strategies. More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible.
A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors. “By equipping the reserve with the AI-aided system to store the archived photos of giant pandas, we obtain a 98% success rate for species recognition. Its success rate of recognizing other wild animals can top 80%,” said Liu Xingming, head of the reserve’s administration. In 2021 alone, this monitoring system captured 2, 896 photos of giant pandas and other rare animals and filmed 3,218 seconds of footage, showing the reserve’s sound ecological environment as well as a gradual rise in panda population there.
Liu said researchers used the system not only to observe the dynamics and health of the giant panda population but also to learn about changes in the natural surroundings of their habitat. “The monitoring system has enabled the systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved in the near future.”
12.What does the underlined word “discern” mean in paragraph 2
A.Solve. B.Pose. C.Attach. D.Detect.
13.What can be inferred about the new technology from the study
A.It precisely recognizes any species. B.It makes panda population rise rapidly.
C.It contributes to species data collection. D.It understands pandas’ facial appearance.
14.What is Liu Xingming’s attitude to the facial recognition monitoring system
A.Critical. B.Objective. C.Tolerant. D.Conservative.
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Panda Facial Recognition Using the Database
B.Functions of Facial Recognition Technology
C.AI Technology for Better Panda Protection
D.A Breakthrough in the Video Monitoring System

Find Ways to Respond to a Major Disaster
When natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes happen, there’s always a great need for coordinated (协调的) disaster relief and recovery. 16
Volunteer
To take a hands-on approach to disaster recovery, volunteer your time and talents. You can travel to the affected regions to provide support. 17 It is recommended that you volunteer through one of the professional organisations for your safety and your skills can be put to best use.
Donate money
Disaster victims often have lost their homes or need to relocate. In many cases, your money is just as valuable as your physical presence in helping with relief efforts. Many organisations provide temporary housing, food and other items for victims. 18 Even organisations like the Red Cross have been criticised for how donated funds have been allocated (分配).
Donate blood
If you can’t travel and don’t feel comfortable giving money, a need for donated blood always existed. The Red Cross and local medical organisations manage blood supplies that are important to disaster victims. Call the Red Cross to schedule an appointment. 19
20
Goods are valuable in stricken areas. Building materials and donations of bottled water or household items can be placed on trucks and taken to the disaster areas. It is the best to allow the professional organisations to coordinate these donation efforts and see that the needed supplies reach a location where they will be best used for recovery.
A.Send needed items.
B.Make preparations.
C.Or look out for a blood drive in your area.
D.A lot of people are skilful at organising local response.
E.Whether disaster has occurred at home or abroad,you can help.
F.Before giving,though,make sure you trust the organisation receiving your money.
G.And you can do everything from providing first aid to rebuilding homes in these areas.

“Hi, Mary,” in rushed her friend Jessica. “How is your arm Is it going to affect your performance ”
“I guess it can be tolerated for I am to win the match,” said Mary with a determined look.
“Admirable! But I hear that a girl called Linda is really gifted and strong. She can be your real well-matched e on!”
After Jessica left, Mary decided to practice the most difficult spin (高速旋转). “If I don’t try harder, I won’t grasp this chance,” she thought. But her arm began to hurt, making her worried. After the pain was gone, she continued to warm up.
Then a slim girl hurried in and put down a bag on the chair. Then, she took out her dance dress quickly and put it on skillfully. Seeing Mary, she smiled politely and said, “Hi, I’m Linda. I am a participant in the competition, too.” Mary nodded in reply but felt uncomfortable. “She is just my competitor. Because of her, I may lose tonight.” Her mind was wandering when Linda screamed, “Oh, I can’t find my music tape!” Linda searched her bag but in vain. “It might have been missing on the way.” With these words, she then rushed out.

8.B 9.A 10.D 11.C
【分析】本文为一篇说明文。一项最新研究表明,由于气候变暖,世界海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。这一现象的原因是因为一种叫做浮游植物的微小海洋微生物,因为光线反射的作用,它们在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案,现在浮游植物受到海洋变暖趋势的影响,让浮游植物的生长更加旺盛,所以海洋相应会变得更蓝、更绿。
8.主旨大意题。根据第一段By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.可知,一项新的研究表明,到本世纪末,由于气候变暖,如果不尽快的话,世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。结合第二段At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton.可知,这种现象的核心是一种叫做浮游植物的微小海洋微生物,在光线的作用下在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案。海洋的颜色从绿色到蓝色不等,这取决于海洋的类型和浮游植物浓度。由此可推断出这两段主要叙述了海洋生物是海洋颜色变化的原因。故选B。
9.猜测词义题。根据划线词后的Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.可知,气候变暖会改变海洋的主要特征,并会影响浮游植物的生长。由此可判断,浮游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响,也就是很敏感。故A项正确。
10.推理判断题。根据第四段The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener.可知,Dutkiewicz的模型预测,目前只有少量浮游植物的蓝色区域可能会变得更蓝。但是在一些水域,比如北极,气候变暖会使浮游植物的生长条件更加成熟,而这些水域会变得更绿了。由此可推断,浮游植物的生长条件更加成熟,浮游动植物就更多了,这些水域会变得更绿了。故D项正确。
11.主旨大意题。第一段提出文章的主旨By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.可知,一项新的研究表明,到本世纪末,由于气候变暖,如果不尽快的话,世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿,接下来详细讲述了原因。故C项正确。
12.D 13.C 14.B 15.C
【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。据新华社2022年1月6日报道,人脸识别技术继续推动着人类生活的方方面面,现在它正被应用于大熊猫的保护,本文主要讲述了面部识别技术能更好地实时监控大熊猫保护区,更好地保护大熊猫。
12.词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible.(更重要的是,它实现了对保护区的实时监控,使我们能够尽早discern对野生动物的威胁)”可知,实时监测起到保护野生动物的作用,在第一时间发现对野生动物的威胁,discern意为“觉察出,识别”,与Detect意思相近,故选D项。
13.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors.(最近的一项研究发现,面部识别系统可以自动识别红外摄像机捕捉到的各种野生动物,使研究人员能够在室内收集大熊猫的数据)”可推知,新技术有助于物种数据的收集,故选C项。
14.推理判断题。根据最后一段中Liu所说的话“Liu said researchers used the system not only to observe the dynamics and health of the giant panda population but also to learn about changes in the natural surroundings of their habitat. “The monitoring system has enabled the systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved in the near future.”(刘说,研究人员不仅使用该系统来观察大熊猫种群的动态和健康状况,还可以了解它们栖息地自然环境的变化。他补充说:‘监测系统使野生动物的系统、科学和智能保护成为可能。不过,预计在不久的将来会进一步改善。’)”可知,Liu Xingming对于面部识别监测系统能更好地观察大熊猫,以及自然环境的变化,但是还有待改善。由此推知,Liu持客观态度。故选B项。
15.主旨大意题。本文为新闻报道,根据文章内容,尤其是第一段“While facial recognition technology continues to promote many aspects of human life, it’s now being applied to aid the protection of giant pandas, Xinhua News Agency reported on 6 January, 2022.(据新华社2022年1月6日报道,人脸识别技术继续推动着人类生活的方方面面,现在它正被应用于大熊猫的保护)”可知,本文主要讲述了面部识别技术被用于更好地保护大熊猫。由此可知,C项“AI Technology for Better Panda Protection (更好地保护熊猫的人工智能技术)”适合作本文的标题。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍如何帮助重大灾难的方法。
16.根据上文“When natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes happen, there’s always a great need for coordinated (协调的) disaster relief and recovery. (当飓风和地震等自然灾害发生时,总是非常需要协调救灾和恢复)”和下文的小标题,可知设空处是关于如何救助的,E选项“无论灾难发生在国内还是国外,你都可以提供帮助。”符合题意,承上启下,故选E。
17.根据上文“To take a hands-on approach to disaster recovery, volunteer your time and talents. You can travel to the affected regions to provide support. (要想亲身参与灾难恢复,请献出你的时间和才智。你可以前往受灾地区提供支持。)”可推断下文是关于在受灾地区都能做什么事情来提供支持,G选项“你可以在这些地区做任何事情,从提供急救到重建家园。”顺承上文,符合题意,故选G。
18.根据上文“In many cases, your money is just as valuable as your physical presence in helping with relief efforts. Many organisations provide temporary housing, food and other items for victims. (在很多情况下,你的钱和你的身体在帮助救灾工作中一样有价值。许多组织为受害者提供临时住房、食物和其他物品。)”可知本段关于如何捐钱的,再结合下文“Even organisations like the Red Cross have been criticised for how donated funds have been allocated (分配). (即使像红十字会这样的组织也因为捐赠资金的分配方式而受到批评。)”可知设空处承上启下是关于怎么找对捐款机构的,选项F“但是,在捐款之前,要确保你信任接受你捐款的机构。”符合题意,并且和上文构成转折关系,紧密连接下文,故选F。
19.根据上文“If you can’t travel and don’t feel comfortable giving money, a need for donated blood always existed. The Red Cross and local medical organisations manage blood supplies that are important to disaster victims. Call the Red Cross to schedule an appointment. (如果你不能旅行,也不愿意捐钱,献血的需求总是存在的。红十字会和当地医疗组织管理着对灾民很重要的血液供应。给红十字会打电话预约。)”结合小标题可知本段是关于如何献血的,C选项“或者留意你所在地区的献血活动。”继续讲述如何献血,符合题意,故选C。

【分析】本文为记叙文。文章主要介绍了黛西乘坐飞毯去了解野生动物保护的故事。
36.考查形容词。句意:她总是盼望着帮助濒临灭绝的野生动物物种。此处修饰species这个名词,所以用形容词,故填endangered。
37.考查时态。分析句子可知此处填谓语,根据found可知此处用过去时,所以填woke。
38.考查名词复数。句意:飞毯带着黛西去了很多地方。many修饰名词复数,所以填places。
39.考查定语从句。句意:飞毯带她去了有野生动物保护的地方。分析句子可知there was some wildlife protection作定语,修饰place,从句缺地点状语,所以应该用关系副词where。
40.考查冠词。句意:她遇到一头大象。elephant是以元音开头,表示一个,所以用an。
41.考查介词。句意:她得知大象过去被无情地猎杀。表示“无情”可知用介词without。
42.考查名词。句意:黛西突然笑起来。burst into 后加名词,所以填laughter。
43.考查非谓语动词。句意:黛西看到一只猴子在擦自己的身体。分析句子可知本句有谓语met,所以rub要用非谓语,monkey与rub是主动关系,所以用rubbing。
44.考查比较级。句意:猴子要求黛西以后更多地关注雨林。分析句子可知是和过去相比,要用比较级,所以填more。
45.考查副词。句意:最后,黛西完全明白了没有雨林,就没有动物,就没有药物的真正意义。此处修饰understood,所以用副词fully。
46.Dear fellow students,
Our school has started a program of garbage classification. Different kinds of garbage are required to be sorted out and placed in different dustbins. Paper can be recycled, while leftovers can be collected as food for pigs or processed as fertilizer for plants. Above all, such harmful things as plastics and used batteries should not be mixed with other wastes.
The program is of great benefit. We will be able to save resources by making use of recyclable garbage and harmful things will not pollute our environment after special treatment.
Let’s work together for a better campus!

47.Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, Mary caught sight of a black box under the chair where Linda put her bag. She went over and opened the box, only to find Linda’s tape was just inside. At that time, she was in a dilemma. “This is my chance to defeat her if I don’t tell her.” But on a second thought,she changed her mind. “If I hide it, I will win the competition but I may lose something.” She placed it on the chair carefully, leaving a note saying “Take it easy. We are the best.” Soon, it was her turn to perform.
Paragraph 2:
Hearing her name called, Mary walked on stage with her heart beating fast. She kept reminding herself, “I have been practicing for so long, and I will certainly make it.” But the serious pain in her arm came again when she was performing the most difficult spin. She fell down on the stage. At that moment, Linda came back in low spirits. To her surprise she saw the tape with Mary’s note. With Mary’s kindness and encouragement, Linda finished her performance smoothly. Finally, Mary lost the competition but she had no regrets about her decision.

Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, Mary caught sight of a black box under the chair where Linda put her bag. She bent over to pick it up and opened it. “Linda’s music tape!” she cried out in surprise. At that moment, an idea flashed through her mind. “Without her music tape, Linda will surely lose, but do I really want to win this way ” She hesitated for a second and then hurried out to give the music tape to Linda (不定式作目的状语). Linda was so grateful and finished her dancing successfully.
Paragraph 2:
Hearing her name called, Mary walked on stage with her heart beating fast. Nervous as she was (让步状语从句的倒装), she stepped onto stage with a big smile. She danced skillfully to the music and completed the most difficult spin smoothly. “Thank my lucky stars,” she thought to herself. “My injured arm was all right today.” As the dance ended (As引导的时间状语从句), she got a round of applause. With the final marks announced (with复合结构,其中过去分词作宾补), Mary knew she achieved her goal and tears began to well up in her eyes. When she headed back to the dressing room, Linda came up to her cheerfully and said, “Congratulations! You’ve given an amazing performance! You win! And I’d like to express my gratitude to you. Mary smiled happily.
