I was never very neat (整洁的) , while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!" Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, "Thanks."

Many people confuse hard-working people with workaholics(工作狂). How could a person tell that he/she is a workaholic A workaholic works long hours, at the expense of personal relationships and health. When not working, they’re thinking about work. Work influences their mood: when work is going well, they’re up; when work is going less well, they’re down.
Working, or simply being busy, can be a hard habit to break. When workaholics aren’t busy working—or doing something to promote their work—they feel anxious and guilty. They hang onto jobs for dear life and do everything they can to make sure they’re essential.
There is a link between health problems and workaholism. Just because work itself is a respectable pursuit(追求) doesn’t mean that an addiction to it is any less damaging than other sorts of addictions. A number of studies show that workaholism has been associated with a wide range of health problems, such as anxiety and heart disease.
Besides health problems, being a workaholic brings other negative effects as well. A study published in the American Journal of Family Therapy found that working too much negatively influenced an employee’s marriage. This isn’t surprising, since if you’re married to your work, it can be difficult to be married to anything, or anyone, else. There have also been studies looking at the influence of workaholic parents on their children and the news isn’t good. Adult children of workaholic fathers experienced more depression and anxiety and a weaker sense of self.
However, there are also many positive aspects to working hard and to an increasing devotion to career. Hard work can bring great rewards. For many, it’s how they develop feelings of self-worth and confidence and purpose. If you have a workaholic in your life, you might point out the things he or she is missing out on while at work, whether it’s a child’s soccer game, a good book, or a yoga class. Seek to understand why the person feels the need to work so much and support them in finding a solution.
8．What can we infer about workaholics
A. They put work in the first place.
B. They usually have life outside work.
C. They often get pleasure from work.
D. They win respect from their workmates.
9．What are Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about
A. Bad influences of workaholism.
B. Reasons for being workaholics.
C. How people deal with their addictions.
D. How hard-working people differ from workaholics.
10．What can we do to help workaholics in life
A. Force them to join family activities.
B. Reward them for their hard work.
C. Help them find self-worth and confidence.
D. Try to understand and support them.
11．What is the author’s attitude towards working hard
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Curious.
Vast lands of America are dominated by corn, nearly 100macres of it, stretching from Ohio to the Dakotas. What once was forest today produces the corn that feeds people, cattle and, when made into ethanol (乙醇), cars.
Now, the nation’s airlines want to power their planes with corn, too. United Airlines signed a deal with a Nebraska ethanol company to buy enough sustainable fuel, to power 50,000 flights a year. The government could decide on its tax incentives (税收激励) for the industry as soon as December. “Mark my words, the next 20 years, corn farmers are going to provide 95% of all the sustainable airline fuel,” President Biden said in July.
The airlines’ ambitious goal would likely require nearly doubling ethanol production, which airlines say, with great expectation, would decrease their greenhouse gas emissions. If they succeed, it could transform America’s Corn Belt, stimulating farmers and ethanol producers, but potentially further damaging one of the nation’s most important resources: groundwater.
Corn requires a lot of water to grow and it can take hundreds of gallons to produce a single gallon of ethanol. But as airlines take the idea of ethanol, the vital groundwater faces serious risks. “We’re on track to massively increase water usage without any real sense of how sensitive our groundwater is,” said Jeffrey Broberg, who is concerned about groundwater in Minnesota, a major corn state.
The Department of Energy said in a statement that “water use is a critical part of the conversation surrounding bio-energy sustainability”. It pointed to a 2022 department study that concluded that the United States could significantly reduce pressure on groundwater by shifting fuel production away from water-intensive crops like corn, instead growing more crops that don’t require irrigation (灌溉), like various types of straw, grasses and trees. Hopefully, a better approach will be soon studied and adopted.
12．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Farmers will increase 95% of their ethanol production.
B. The sustainable fuel will not be popular in the future.
C. Corn will be an influential source in the fuel industry.
D. The government stops the new fuel for the groundwater.
13．What does the underlined word “stimulating” mean in paragraph 3
A. Preventing. B. Motivating. C. Destroying. D. Impressing.
14．What is the potential risk of the increased use of ethanol in fuel
A. The shortage of corn production.
B. The increase in global warming.
C. A rise in clean-energy tax credits.
D. Higher stress on the groundwater.
15．What did the 2022 study suggest according to the last paragraph
A. Expand the corn planting area.
B. Use some alternative materials.
C. Cut down the daily water usage.
D. Turn to the government for help.
二、七选五
16．They say once you learn to ride a bike, you never forget. Most of us learned to ride when we were kids, and many still wear our helmets, put our feet on the pedals, and shoot off for a ride on the streets. In recent times, cycling has seen an increase in popularity, so many people raise a question: ①______
First, let’s look at the health benefits. Cycling can improve your cardiovascular (心血管的) health and burn extra body fat. Strengthening your muscles in your legs helps increase your potential torque (扭矩) and cadence (节奏). ②______ A long ride in the countryside could help you clear your mind, or de-stress. But it’s not only about your body and mind there are also some plus sides for your wallet’s health.

Then, on the subway, there are changes at stations and other people who go to work speaking loudly on their phones to deal with. ④______ And if you’re worried about safety, there are designated cycle lanes in many major cities. In addition, wearing high-visibility clothing is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.
⑤______ It can help you reduce your carbon footprints. Not giving off greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.
So, whether people want to cycle for their health, their wallet, the environment, or a combination of all of them —the popularity of cycling is on the rise.
A. What makes cycling so convenient
B. But cyclists face neither of these issues.
C. And people will choose to go to work by cycling.

“Frank, no interrupting,” said Miss Clare, their teacher. “And Bradley has a fine market. I’m glad that Emily shared her experience with us. Go ahead, Emily,” Miss Clare smiled warmly at her, encouraging her to continue.
But not feeling proud of her family’s trip to Bradley any more, Emily just felt embarrassed and dropped her head, saying in a low voice that it was finished. In the hope of not being noticed, the little girl hurriedly back to her desk with a red face.
She listened as Peter talked about his cruise to Greece and Mary’s trip across the Atlantic to Ireland. She also heard about John’s horseback ride through the Great Canyon.

After school, things went worse. One of the wheels on Emily’s skateboard came loose. Now she couldn’t even skate. Sitting on the sidewalk, Emily tried to fix her wheel but in vain, during which Miss Clare happened to pass by.
She walked up with a smile, asking, “Why are you sitting here ” Emily lowered her head, tears welling up inside her eyes. “Want to talk about it ” Emily nodded, trying to avoid Miss Clare’ eyes.

13．答案：B
解析：词句猜测题。根据第三段“The airlines’ ambitious goal would likely require nearly doubling ethanol production, which airlines say, with great expectation, would decrease their greenhouse gas emissions.

14．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Corn requires a lot of water to grow and it can take hundreds of gallons to produce a single gallon of ethanol. But as airlines take the idea of ethanol, the vital groundwater faces serious risks. (玉米的生长需要大量的水, 而生产一加仑乙醇可能需要数百加仑的水。但随着航空公司采用乙醇的想法, 重要的地下水面临着严重的风险。)”可知, 燃料中乙醇使用增加的潜在风险是对地下水的压力更大。故选D项。

③根据上文“Cycling can be a great way to go to work or get about town.(骑自行车是上班或进城的好方法)”表明骑自行车是上班和在城市中四处闲逛的一种不错的出行方式, 因此空处应是在解释为什么骑自行车是一种不错的出行方式。D项“这可以为你省下一大笔油钱或花在公共交通上的 钱。”符合语境, 其中的 This 指的是上文提到的骑自行车上班或在城市中四处闲逛。故 选D。
④根据上文“If you drive to work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a nightmare, whereas finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler.

⑥考查副词。句意：网上的一些人为这些南方人提供了实用的建议, 强调需要衣服来保护他们免受室外严寒的影响, 同时确保他们在室内不会大汗淋漓。此空用副词 heavily作状语修饰动词sweat, 意为“出很多汗”。故填heavily。
⑦考查名词复数。句意：为了促进游客出行, 哈尔滨延长了公共汽车和地铁的运营时间。operating hours 指的是“营业时间”, 此处 hour需要用复数形式。故填hours。
⑧考查冠词。句意：根据哈尔滨市政府的公告, 哈尔滨的冰雪季节将持续到2024年3月底。此处指的是关于冰雪季时间的一项公告, 因此选用不定冠词, 且announcement为元音音素开始的单词。故填an。
⑨考查非谓语。句意：对于试图避开高峰时段的游客, 建议计划在元旦和春节之后参观, 元旦和春节时旅游流量正处于高峰期。分析句子可知, 此空考查非谓语, travelers与try为主动关系, 再由句意可知, 这里应用现在分词作后置定语。故填trying。
⑩考查定语从句。句意：对于试图避开高峰时段的游客, 建议计划在元旦和春节之后参观, 元旦和春节时旅游流量正处于高峰期。此处为非限制定语从句, 先行词是 New Year’s Day and Spring Festival, 在从句中作时间状语, 所以应用关系副词when。故填when。

I was never very neat (整洁的) , while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!" Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, "Thanks."

Many people confuse hard-working people with workaholics(工作狂). How could a person tell that he/she is a workaholic A workaholic works long hours, at the expense of personal relationships and health. When not working, they’re thinking about work. Work influences their mood: when work is going well, they’re up; when work is going less well, they’re down.
Working, or simply being busy, can be a hard habit to break. When workaholics aren’t busy working—or doing something to promote their work—they feel anxious and guilty. They hang onto jobs for dear life and do everything they can to make sure they’re essential.
There is a link between health problems and workaholism. Just because work itself is a respectable pursuit(追求) doesn’t mean that an addiction to it is any less damaging than other sorts of addictions. A number of studies show that workaholism has been associated with a wide range of health problems, such as anxiety and heart disease.
Besides health problems, being a workaholic brings other negative effects as well. A study published in the American Journal of Family Therapy found that working too much negatively influenced an employee’s marriage. This isn’t surprising, since if you’re married to your work, it can be difficult to be married to anything, or anyone, else. There have also been studies looking at the influence of workaholic parents on their children and the news isn’t good. Adult children of workaholic fathers experienced more depression and anxiety and a weaker sense of self.
However, there are also many positive aspects to working hard and to an increasing devotion to career. Hard work can bring great rewards. For many, it’s how they develop feelings of self-worth and confidence and purpose. If you have a workaholic in your life, you might point out the things he or she is missing out on while at work, whether it’s a child’s soccer game, a good book, or a yoga class. Seek to understand why the person feels the need to work so much and support them in finding a solution.
8．What can we infer about workaholics
A. They put work in the first place.
B. They usually have life outside work.
C. They often get pleasure from work.
D. They win respect from their workmates.
9．What are Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about
A. Bad influences of workaholism.
B. Reasons for being workaholics.
C. How people deal with their addictions.
D. How hard-working people differ from workaholics.
10．What can we do to help workaholics in life
A. Force them to join family activities.
B. Reward them for their hard work.
C. Help them find self-worth and confidence.
D. Try to understand and support them.
11．What is the author’s attitude towards working hard
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Curious.
Vast lands of America are dominated by corn, nearly 100macres of it, stretching from Ohio to the Dakotas. What once was forest today produces the corn that feeds people, cattle and, when made into ethanol (乙醇), cars.
Now, the nation’s airlines want to power their planes with corn, too. United Airlines signed a deal with a Nebraska ethanol company to buy enough sustainable fuel, to power 50,000 flights a year. The government could decide on its tax incentives (税收激励) for the industry as soon as December. “Mark my words, the next 20 years, corn farmers are going to provide 95% of all the sustainable airline fuel,” President Biden said in July.
The airlines’ ambitious goal would likely require nearly doubling ethanol production, which airlines say, with great expectation, would decrease their greenhouse gas emissions. If they succeed, it could transform America’s Corn Belt, stimulating farmers and ethanol producers, but potentially further damaging one of the nation’s most important resources: groundwater.
Corn requires a lot of water to grow and it can take hundreds of gallons to produce a single gallon of ethanol. But as airlines take the idea of ethanol, the vital groundwater faces serious risks. “We’re on track to massively increase water usage without any real sense of how sensitive our groundwater is,” said Jeffrey Broberg, who is concerned about groundwater in Minnesota, a major corn state.
The Department of Energy said in a statement that “water use is a critical part of the conversation surrounding bio-energy sustainability”. It pointed to a 2022 department study that concluded that the United States could significantly reduce pressure on groundwater by shifting fuel production away from water-intensive crops like corn, instead growing more crops that don’t require irrigation (灌溉), like various types of straw, grasses and trees. Hopefully, a better approach will be soon studied and adopted.
12．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Farmers will increase 95% of their ethanol production.
B. The sustainable fuel will not be popular in the future.
C. Corn will be an influential source in the fuel industry.
D. The government stops the new fuel for the groundwater.
13．What does the underlined word “stimulating” mean in paragraph 3
A. Preventing. B. Motivating. C. Destroying. D. Impressing.
14．What is the potential risk of the increased use of ethanol in fuel
A. The shortage of corn production.
B. The increase in global warming.
C. A rise in clean-energy tax credits.
D. Higher stress on the groundwater.
15．What did the 2022 study suggest according to the last paragraph
A. Expand the corn planting area.
B. Use some alternative materials.
C. Cut down the daily water usage.
D. Turn to the government for help.
二、七选五
16．They say once you learn to ride a bike, you never forget.

But it’s not only about your body and mind there are also some plus sides for your wallet’s health.

In addition, wearing high-visibility clothing is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.
⑤______ It can help you reduce your carbon footprints. Not giving off greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.

It was Emily’s turn to tell her class where she went this summer. She stood up proudly.

“That’s not a trip,” Frank shouted loudly to his partner. “It’s only half an hour from here. My dad and I often go to Bradley to buy tools for his repair workshop.”
“Frank, no interrupting,” said Miss Clare, their teacher. “And Bradley has a fine market. I’m glad that Emily shared her experience with us. Go ahead, Emily,” Miss Clare smiled warmly at her, encouraging her to continue.
But not feeling proud of her family’s trip to Bradley any more, Emily just felt embarrassed and dropped her head, saying in a low voice that it was finished. In the hope of not being noticed, the little girl hurriedly back to her desk with a red face.
She listened as Peter talked about his cruise to Greece and Mary’s trip across the Atlantic to Ireland. She also heard about John’s horseback ride through the Great Canyon. It seemed as if everyone but her had taken a big trip over the summer. “I never get to anywhere,” Emily thought to herself. A sense of loss clouded her the whole day.
After school, things went worse. One of the wheels on Emily’s skateboard came loose. Now she couldn’t even skate. Sitting on the sidewalk, Emily tried to fix her wheel but in vain, during which Miss Clare happened to pass by.

(工作狂长时间工作, 以牺牲人际关系和健康为代价。不工作的时候, 他们想着工作。工作影响他们的情绪：当工作进展顺利时, 他们会情绪高涨； 当工作进展不太顺利时, 他们就会情绪低落。) ”可推知工作狂把工作放在第一位。故选A。
9．答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。根据第三段和第四段中的“health problems, damaging, addiction, negative effects”等关键词可知, 这两段主要讲工作狂的一些负面影响, 故选A。
10．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知“Seek to understand why the person feels the need to work so much and support them in finding a solution. (试着去理解为什么这个人觉得有必要努力工作, 并支持他们找到解决方案。) ”由此可知, 对待工作狂, 我们要试着去理解和支持他们, 故选D。
11．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知, 作者在客观地分析说明沉迷工作会带来的负面影响和努力工作的积极意义。故选B。
12．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“What once was forest today produces the corn that feeds people, cattle and, when made into ethanol(乙醇), cars.(昔日的森林如今变成了玉米地, 可以供养人、养牛, 在玉米制成乙醇后, 还能为汽车提供燃料。)”和第二段中的“ Now, the nation’s airlines want to power their planes with corn, too.(现在, 美国的航空公司也想用玉米为飞机提供燃料。)”可知, 玉米将成为燃料工业中有影响力的来源。故选C项。
13．答案：B
解析：词句猜测题。根据第三段“The airlines’ ambitious goal would likely require nearly doubling ethanol production, which airlines say, with great expectation, would decrease their greenhouse gas emissions. If they succeed, it could transform America’s Corn Belt, stimulating farmers and ethanol producers, but potentially further damaging one of the nation’s most important resources: groundwater.(航空公司雄心勃勃的目标可能需要将乙醇产量增加近一倍, 航空公司满怀期望地表示, 乙醇产量将减少温室气体排放。如果他们成功了, 这可能会改变美国的玉米带, 农民和乙醇生产商, 但可能会进一步损害美国最重要的资源之一：地下水。)”以及从该词后的 but可知, stimulating 和后文的“damaging one of the nation’s most important resources: groundwater.(损害美国最重要的资源之一：地下水)”构成转折关系, 所以猜测 stimulating应表示“刺激”。故选B项。
14．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Corn requires a lot of water to grow and it can take hundreds of gallons to produce a single gallon of ethanol. But as airlines take the idea of ethanol, the vital groundwater faces serious risks. (玉米的生长需要大量的水, 而生产一加仑乙醇可能需要数百加仑的水。但随着航空公司采用乙醇的想法, 重要的地下水面临着严重的风险。)”可知, 燃料中乙醇使用增加的潜在风险是对地下水的压力更大。故选D项。
15．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It pointed to a 2022 department study that concluded that the United States could significantly reduce pressure on groundwater by shifting fuel production away from water-intensive crops like corn, instead growing more crops that don’t require irrigation(灌溉), like various types of straw, grasses and trees. Hopefully, a better approach will be soon studied and adopted.(它指出, 2022年国务院的一项研究得出结论, 美国可以通过将燃料生产从玉米等耗水作物转向种植更多不需要灌溉的作物, 如各种类型的秸秆、草和树木, 来显著减轻地下水压力。希望不久将研究并采用一种更好的方法。)”可知, 2022年的研究建议使用一些替代材料来生产燃料。故选B项。

④根据上文“If you drive to work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a nightmare, whereas finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler.

⑤根据后文“It can help you reduce your carbon footprints. Not giving off greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.(它可以帮助你减少碳足迹。不向大气中排放温室气体对地球和我们自己的环境都更好)”可知, 本段主要讲述的是骑自行车对环境的好处。故E项“最后, 骑自行车对环境也有好处。”符合语境。故选 E。
