A store owner was putting a sign up his door that reads “Puppies For Sale”. Signs like that have a way of appealing to small children, and sure enough, a little boy appeared under the store owner’s sign. “How much are you going to sell the puppies for ” he asked. The store owner replied, “Anywhere from $30 to $50.”
The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. “I have $2.37,” he said. “Can I please look at them ” The store owner smiled and whistled and out came a lady followed by five teeny tiny balls of fur. One puppy was lagging (落后) considerably behind. Immediately the little boy picked out the lagging limping ( 跛行) puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog ”
The store owner explained that the vet had examined the little puppy and had discovered it would always limp. The little boy became excited, “That’s the little puppy that I want to buy.” The store owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.” The little boy looked straight into the store owner’s eyes, pointing his finger and said offensively, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. In fact I’ll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for."
The store owner said, “You really don’t want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to jump and play with you like the other puppies.”
The little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace (支撑物). He looked up at the store owner and softly replied,
“Well, I don’t run so well myself, and the little puppy will need a friend who understands!”

Most of us want to get in shape and be healthy. For many of us nutrition (营养) and watching what we eat is an important way to stay healthy. But when it comes to food, what is calorie counting, and what are the positives and negatives of it
A law in the UK came into force in April 2022 that requires restaurants, takeaways, and cafes to display the calorie information of non-pre-packed food and soft drinks on their menus. It’s a strategy aimed to deal with obesity and give people a more informed choice of what goes down into their stomachs. Being able to count calories and know how much we can eat is a great way to try and stay on track with our diet.
However, there are some disbelievers when it comes to calorie counting 200 calories of fresh fruit and 200 calories of junk food, for example cookies, have the same caloric value. However, there is a question of the health benefits of what you’re eating, regardless of calories. While fresh fruit like apples contains things like vitamin C, junk food could contain an unhealthy level of sugar and fats. Likewise (同样地), fruit may fill you up and leave you not wanting more food for longer than a biscuit with equal calories —meaning, overall, you eat less.
Simply counting calories, while useful for weight loss, doesn’t take into account your intake of good fats, carbohydrates, and proteins—things that your body needs. So, if you’re trying to stick to a low-carbon diet, just looking at numbers of calories on a menu won’t be that useful. So, always be mindful that what you’re eating is part of a healthy balanced diet.
8. What does the underlined word “obesity” in Paragraph 2mean
A. being healthy. B. being strong. C. being fat. D. being sleepy.
9. What opinion do disbelievers hold
A. Calorie alone doesn’t contribute to health. B. Junk food has more calories than fresh fruit.
C. Less calories mean less food in your stomach. D. Sugar and fats are more harmful than calories.
10. What’s the text mainly about
A. The best way to keep in shape. B. A research result of obesity in the UK.
C. Nutrition and its health benefit. D. Opinions and comments on calorie counting.
11. From which section of a magazine is this text most likely taken
A. Entertainment. B. Lifestyle. C. Finance. D. Education.
D
Which is better for Earth: an electric or gas-powered vehicle The answer to this question might seem blindingly obvious. Of course electric cars must be better for the environment, because they don’t give off greenhouse gases as people drive. However, electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t perfect, and they come with their own set of polluting problems. Their batteries require a large amount of energy to produce.
Battery production is just one part of an electric car’s life span. A study looked at the entire life cycle of an EV’s emissions(排放)，from mining the metals for the batteries to producing the electricity needed to power them, and then compared this with the average emissions of a gas-powered vehicle. The team found that when EVs are charged with coal-powered electricity, they’re actually worse for the environment than gas-powered cars.
“Only when connected to the clean energy do EVs have an advantage over the gas-powered cars on a greenhouse gas basis,” said Colin Sheppard, an expert in energy and transportation systems. That’s why more and more countries are decreasing the power supply from coal. In China, the national grid is improving with more efforts in renewable energy. For example, it has twice as much wind energy capacity as the U.S. and it builds more solar panels per year than any other countries.
Sheppard has modelled a future in which all cars are electric. “We want to understand what it might be like if all passenger vehicles were electrified.” The model suggests that if all vehicles in the U.S. were electric, greenhouse-gas emissions would be 46% less every year. This reduction could be increased even further if those vehicles were using a technique known as “smart charging” in which cars are recharged at chosen times (often at night) to reduce the cost of electricity.
In short, it’s far easier to argue for buying an EV than a gas-powered vehicle. But what about the cost Aren’t electric vehicles too expensive for most people
12. In which case do EVs get more heavy-polluted than gas-powered cars
A. Being powered only by batteries.
B. Using coal-powered electricity.
C. Starting to give off greenhouse gases.
D. Replacing gas-powered vehicles entirely.
13. How does Sheppard’s model show the reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions
A. With a discussion. B. With an examination.
C. With a comparison. D. With a questionnaire.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. China is making advances in renewable energy.
B. Compared with gas-powered cars, EVs are at an advantage.
C. There is still room for the development of EVs.
D. It’s not a challenge to choose between EVs and gas-powered cars.
15. What might the paragraph following the passage be about
A. Inventing green gas-powered vehicles.
B. Developing environment-friendly grids.
C. Getting rid of fossil energy like coal and oil.
D. Making electric vehicles more affordable.

The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. “I have $2.37,” he said. “Can I please look at them ” The store owner smiled and whistled and out came a lady followed by five teeny tiny balls of fur. One puppy was lagging (落后) considerably behind. Immediately the little boy picked out the lagging limping ( 跛行) puppy and said, “What’s wrong with that little dog ”
The store owner explained that the vet had examined the little puppy and had discovered it would always limp. The little boy became excited, “That’s the little puppy that I want to buy.” The store owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.” The little boy looked straight into the store owner’s eyes, pointing his finger and said offensively, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. In fact I’ll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for."
The store owner said, “You really don’t want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to jump and play with you like the other puppies.”
The little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace (支撑物). He looked up at the store owner and softly replied,
“Well, I don’t run so well myself, and the little puppy will need a friend who understands!”

【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一个腿有残疾的小男孩去买小狗。店主想将一只腿瘸的小狗送给他，但是小男孩却愿意花高价买下这只小狗。他觉得小狗和自己一样都需要得到理解和尊重。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“The store owner said, ‘No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.’” 当小男孩提出要买那只一瘸一拐的小狗时，店主人说如果小男孩真的想要那只小狗，就把小狗送给他而不是卖给他。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“The little boy…said offensively,‘I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs…’”。当店主说要把小狗送给小男孩，小男孩不要他送而是愿意用同样多的钱买。他觉得这只小狗和其他小狗一样值钱。由此可以推断，店主的回答让小男孩为那只小狗很烦感，认为他歧视这只小狗。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中小男孩所说的话“That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. In fact I’ll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for.（这只小狗和其他小狗一样值钱，我会付全价的。事实上，我现在就给你2.37美元，每月再给你50美分，直到把它的钱付清为止）”可知，男孩最终以全价买下小狗。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段小男孩所说的话“Well, I don’t run so well myself, and the little puppy will need a friend who understands!” 可知，小男孩觉得那只腿瘸的小狗也和自己一样，需要能够理解它的朋友。从小男孩的故事中，我们可以知道小男孩虽然腿残疾，但是也需要理解和尊重。由此可以推断，从这篇文章中我们可以懂得尊重他人是我们每个人都应该学的一课。故选D。

Most of us want to get in shape and be healthy. For many of us nutrition (营养) and watching what we eat is an important way to stay healthy. But when it comes to food, what is calorie counting, and what are the positives and negatives of it
A law in the UK came into force in April 2022 that requires restaurants, takeaways, and cafes to display the calorie information of non-pre-packed food and soft drinks on their menus. It’s a strategy aimed to deal with obesity and give people a more informed choice of what goes down into their stomachs. Being able to count calories and know how much we can eat is a great way to try and stay on track with our diet.
However, there are some disbelievers when it comes to calorie counting 200 calories of fresh fruit and 200 calories of junk food, for example cookies, have the same caloric value. However, there is a question of the health benefits of what you’re eating, regardless of calories. While fresh fruit like apples contains things like vitamin C, junk food could contain an unhealthy level of sugar and fats. Likewise (同样地), fruit may fill you up and leave you not wanting more food for longer than a biscuit with equal calories —meaning, overall, you eat less.
Simply counting calories, while useful for weight loss, doesn’t take into account your intake of good fats, carbohydrates, and proteins—things that your body needs. So, if you’re trying to stick to a low-carbon diet, just looking at numbers of calories on a menu won’t be that useful. So, always be mindful that what you’re eating is part of a healthy balanced diet.
8. What does the underlined word “obesity” in Paragraph 2mean
A. being healthy. B. being strong. C. being fat. D. being sleepy.
9. What opinion do disbelievers hold
A. Calorie alone doesn’t contribute to health. B. Junk food has more calories than fresh fruit.
C. Less calories mean less food in your stomach. D. Sugar and fats are more harmful than calories.
10. What’s the text mainly about
A. The best way to keep in shape. B. A research result of obesity in the UK.
C. Nutrition and its health benefit. D. Opinions and comments on calorie counting.
11. From which section of a magazine is this text most likely taken
A. Entertainment. B. Lifestyle. C. Finance. D. Education.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了考虑到健康问题，我们是否应该计算卡路里的摄入。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词前文“A law in the UK came into force in April 2022 that requires restaurants, takeaways, and cafes to display the calorie information of non-pre-packed food and soft drinks on their menus.(英国一项法律于2022年4月生效，要求餐馆、外卖和咖啡馆在菜单上显示非预包装食品和软饮料的卡路里信息)”及“give people a more informed choice of what goes down into their stomachs(让人们更明智地选择什么东西进入了他们的胃)”可知，法律要求在食物包装上显示卡路里信息是为了让人们知道自己摄入多少卡路里，从而可以保持身材，解决肥胖问题。划线词与being fat意思相近。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“However, there are some disbelievers when it comes to calorie counting 200 calories of fresh fruit and 200 calories of junk food, for example cookies, have the same caloric value. However, there is a question of the health benefits of what you’re eating, regardless of calories.(然而，当谈到卡路里计算时，有些人不相信200卡路里的新鲜水果和200卡路里的垃圾食品（如饼干）具有相同的卡路里值。然而，有一个问题是，不管卡路里多少，你所吃的东西对健康有什么好处)”可知，不相信的人认为热量本身对健康无益处。故选A。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But when it comes to food, what is calorie counting, and what are the positives and negatives of it (但是说到食物，什么是卡路里计算，它的优点和缺点是什么)”及最后一段“Simply counting calories, while useful for weight loss, doesn’t take into account your intake of good fats, carbohydrates, and proteins—things that your body needs. So, if you’re trying to stick to a low-carbon diet, just looking at numbers of calories on a menu won’t be that useful. So, always be mindful that what you’re eating is part of a healthy balanced diet.(简单地计算卡路里，虽然对减肥有用，但没有考虑到你摄入的有益脂肪、碳水化合物和蛋白质——这些是你身体需要的。所以，如果你想坚持低碳饮食，只看菜单上的卡路里数是没有用的。所以，总是要注意你所吃的是健康均衡饮食的一部分)”可知，这篇文章讲的是卡路里计算的必要性和它的不足之处，从而让读者知道该不该计算卡路里，即，关于卡路里计算的意见和评论。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But when it comes to food, what is calorie counting, and what are the positives and negatives of it (但是说到食物，什么是卡路里计算，它的优点和缺点是什么)”可知，文章主要介绍了考虑到健康问题，我们是否应该计算卡路里，与健康生活有关，从而推断，文章最有可能选自杂志的生活方式板块。故选B。

Which is better for Earth: an electric or gas-powered vehicle The answer to this question might seem blindingly obvious. Of course electric cars must be better for the environment, because they don’t give off greenhouse gases as people drive. However, electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t perfect, and they come with their own set of polluting problems. Their batteries require a large amount of energy to produce.
Battery production is just one part of an electric car’s life span. A study looked at the entire life cycle of an EV’s emissions(排放)，from mining the metals for the batteries to producing the electricity needed to power them, and then compared this with the average emissions of a gas-powered vehicle. The team found that when EVs are charged with coal-powered electricity, they’re actually worse for the environment than gas-powered cars.
“Only when connected to the clean energy do EVs have an advantage over the gas-powered cars on a greenhouse gas basis,” said Colin Sheppard, an expert in energy and transportation systems. That’s why more and more countries are decreasing the power supply from coal. In China, the national grid is improving with more efforts in renewable energy. For example, it has twice as much wind energy capacity as the U.S. and it builds more solar panels per year than any other countries.
Sheppard has modelled a future in which all cars are electric. “We want to understand what it might be like if all passenger vehicles were electrified.” The model suggests that if all vehicles in the U.S. were electric, greenhouse-gas emissions would be 46% less every year. This reduction could be increased even further if those vehicles were using a technique known as “smart charging” in which cars are recharged at chosen times (often at night) to reduce the cost of electricity.
In short, it’s far easier to argue for buying an EV than a gas-powered vehicle. But what about the cost Aren’t electric vehicles too expensive for most people
12. In which case do EVs get more heavy-polluted than gas-powered cars
A. Being powered only by batteries.
B. Using coal-powered electricity.
C. Starting to give off greenhouse gases.
D. Replacing gas-powered vehicles entirely.
13. How does Sheppard’s model show the reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions
A. With a discussion. B. With an examination.
C. With a comparison. D. With a questionnaire.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. China is making advances in renewable energy.
B. Compared with gas-powered cars, EVs are at an advantage.
C. There is still room for the development of EVs.
D. It’s not a challenge to choose between EVs and gas-powered cars.
15. What might the paragraph following the passage be about
A. Inventing green gas-powered vehicles.
B. Developing environment-friendly grids.
C. Getting rid of fossil energy like coal and oil.
D. Making electric vehicles more affordable.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文，电动汽车在对环境有利的同时也有一系列污染问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The team found that when EVs are charged with coal-powered electricity, they’re actually worse for the environment than gas-powered cars.” 研究小组发现，当电动汽车以煤电为动力时，它们对环境的危害实际上比汽油动力汽车更大。可知，当电动汽车使用煤电时，造成的污染更大，故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“This reduction could be increased even further if those vehicles were using a technique known as “smart charging” in which cars are recharged at chosen times (often at night) to reduce the cost of electricity.” 如果这些汽车使用一种被称为“智能充电”的技术，即在选择的时间(通常是晚上)充电，以降低电力成本，这种减少可能会进一步增加。可知，谢帕德的模型是通过对比来显示温室气体排放的减少。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But what about the cost Aren’t electric vehicles too expensive for most people ” 但是成本呢 电动汽车对大多数人来说是不是太贵了 可知，电动汽车仍有提升的空间，故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But what about the cost Aren’t electric vehicles too expensive for most people ” 但是成本呢 电动汽车对大多数人来说是不是太贵了 最后一段说电动汽车的买起来更容易，但是成本太贵，所以后文应该是说如何让电车更便宜，故选D项。

I rushed out and found it was my mother, already in she fifties, which brought me lunch in spite of the heavy rain. In China, many parents make great sacrifices for their child.

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了作者由于下雨无法回家吃饭，发现母亲给自己送饭，认为父母总是无条件地为孩子们牺牲，同时自己也十分感激父母，想要为他们做些什么。
【详解】1. 考查形容词。句意：外面雨下得很大，这使我很难回家吃午饭。made it后用形容词作宾补，difficulty为名词，应改为形容词difficult。故将difficulty改为difficult。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意：正当我在想中午吃什么时，我看见一个熟悉的身影从我们教室旁边经过。saw a familiar figure意思为：看到一个熟悉的身影，figure与pass构成主动关系，用现在分词passing作宾补。故将passed改为passing。
3. 考查形容词性物主代词。句意：我冲出去，发现是我的母亲，已经五十多岁了，尽管下着大雨，她还是给我带来了午餐。in one’s fifties意思为：在某人五十岁的时候，she为人称代词主格，应该改为形容词性物主代词her。故将she改为her。
4. 考查定语从句。句意同上。brought的主语表示人，先行词为my mother，作非限制性定语从句的主语，用who引导从句。故将which改为who。
5. 考查名词。句意：在中国，许多父母为他们的孩子做出了巨大的牺牲。child为单数，此处泛指“孩子们”用复数形式children。故将child改为children。
6. 考查动词时态。句意：但是孩子们做了什么作为回报呢？前一句描述客观事实现象，本句中表示对于现在产生的影响，用现在完成时。故将had改为have。
7. 考查及物动词。句意：很多时候，大多数孩子都理所当然地认为父母应该无条件地为他们服务。serve sb.意思为：为某人服务，serve直接搭配人，不用介词for。故去掉serve后的for。
8. 考查连词。句意：亲爱的爸爸妈妈，非常感谢你们把我抚养成人。mum和dad为并列关系，用and连接。故将or改为and。
9. 考查介词。句意同上。thank you for doing意思为：感谢做某事。故在much后加for。
10. 考查疑问词。句意：我能为你们做些什么？疑问词意思为“什么”，作do的宾语，用代词What。故将How改为What。

【答案】Dear John,
How are you doing Learning that you are about to pay a visit to a Chinese friend and confused about the Chinese customs, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.
When invited to a Chinese friend’s home, you should arrive a little earlier so that you can help the family prepare the dinner. At the same time, a proper gift such as a book or a Chinese knot should be brought with you to show respect for the host. Besides, when having conversation, you’d better keep good eye contact and use positive body language to show you are listening attentively. Last, you need to pay attention to some table manners, which are definitely different from yours. When you are enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food. Never stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. Instead, lay them on your dish. Otherwise, it’s thought extremely impolite.
Hopefully, these suggestions would be helpful for you. I have the confidence that you will have a great time. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
