The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.
4. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1
A. Stress. B. Threat. C. Shame. D. Glory.
5. According to the author, what contributes to her victory in the Softball Throw event
A. Her confidence in her sports skills. B. The efforts she put into exercising.
C. Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D. The strong influence of her father.
6. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood
A. She changed the focus into reading. B. She stuck to working out.
C. She regularly exercised on weekends. D. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A To express her love for sports. B. To show her father’s guidance on sports.
C. To stress the advantages of physical exercise. D. To share her childhood memories about sports.
C
Adults with a poor education are also likely to have poor health, a growing body of evidence suggests. Study after study has confirmed the link, and now experts are zeroing in on the reasons for it and what can be done. “People with higher education tend to have better jobs, better income, and better benefits,” said David R. Williams, a professor of public health in America.
Those benefits, he said, go beyond health benefits to include such other factors as the flexibility to take a day off or part of a day to see a doctor. “People with higher levels of education tend to have more resources to cope with stress and life,” Williams said. “They have stress, of course, but also more resources to cope with it—such as access to a health club to exercise away the stress—than people with less education,” he said.
“Being better educated also means that a person is more likely to understand the world of modern medicine,” said Erik Angner, an assistant professor of philosophy and economics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who has researched the link between education and happiness. “Modern medicine is incredibly complex. And if you lack the basic reading skills required to function adequately in the health-care environment, you might find it hard to effectively understand your medical care.”
A report issued by Williams’ commission found that, compared with college graduates, adults who did not graduate from high school were 2.5 times as likely to be in less than very good health. The report suggested that factors outside the medical system play an important role in determining people’s health. Access to medical care is crucial, but it isn’t enough to improve health. What’s needed, they suggested, is increased focus on schools and education—encouraging people to obtain more education.
8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Poor Education May Lead to Poor Health
B. Higher Education Can Bring More Income
C. Happiness Comes from Good Education
D. Medical Care Safeguards Good Health
9. What does “zeroing in on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. get rid of B. remove from C. cope with D. pay attention to
10. What can we learn from Angner’s words
A. Better education means understanding the world better.
B. The modern medicine world is too difficult to understand.
C. People with a good education may be happier.
D. Reading skills help in understanding medical care.
11. What is stressed in the report issued by Williams’ commission
A. Adults are less likely to have good health.
B. The medical system determines people’s health.
C. More education is needed to improve people’s health.
D. More access to medical care is important.
D
Every order of takeout comes with a side of single-use plastics and each plastic fork. knife, spoon and straw-whether or not you wanted it or used it-ends up in the trash.
New research found that 139 million metric tons of single-use plastic waste was generated in 2021-six million metric tons more single-use plastics compared to 2019. A hunger for takeout meals during the pandemic contributed to the surge.
An estimated 60% of Americans order takeout or delivery at least once a week and online ordering is growing 300% faster than in-house dining; that means millions of single-use plastic utensils (餐具) are going out with every order.
New laws aim to address the problem. Some of the recent bills are thanks to The National Reuse Network, part of the environmental nonprofit Upstream, which launched a national Skip the Stuff campaign to work out policies that require restaurants to include single-use plastic utensils, straws, and napkins only when customers request them.
The bills also require meal delivery and online apps like Uber Eats, GrubHub and Door Dash to add single-use extras to their menus; customers can choose the items and quantities to have them included in the order. Customers that don’t order the single-use plastics won’t receive them. The goal of the bills is to reduce the 40 billion plastic utensils sent to the landfill (垃圾填埋场) every year.
“Most of the time, people are taking food home or to their offices where there are reusable utensils so these utensils wind up in a drawer or get thrown out,” says Alexis Goldsmith, national organizing director for a nationwide project Beyond Plastics. “Some people do need utensils, but for the most part, they’re not needed.”
To date, Skip the Stuff bills have been passed in several cities, including Denver, Washington, D.C. and Chicago, California and Washington state passed statewide bills that make single-use plastic “accessories” available with takeout orders only upon request.
Organizations like Upstream, Beyond plastics and NRDC have created toolkits to help additional communities launch their own Skip the Stuff campaigns.
12. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Great desire. B. Sharp decline. C. Rapid increase. D. Obvious panic.
13. According to the Skip the Stuff campaign, what can be done by restaurants
A. Choosing green products. B. Adding single-use napkins.
C. Recycling and reusing utensils. D. Providing utensils only on request.
14. What’s the purpose of the recent new bills
A. To reduce plastic waste. B. To stop bad eating habits.
C. To encourage people to eat out. D. To better the dining environment.
15. What would Goldsmith probably think of the Skip the Stuff campaign
A. Unimportant. B. Damaging. C. Much-needed. D. Well-known.

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。
My story started one autumn morning, at the bend on a path.
I was 13 years old, and was on the way to school. It was the first time I had caught sight of a fox. Fascinated to the point that I forgot all fear, I dared to go up to it. I had never come so close to a wild animal. There was nobody else around, only me and the fox.
“Hey, fox!” I tried to greet it, though my voice was so weak that it felt like I was saying hello to myself. It didn’t hear me. It stayed there and I watched it. My heart was beating flat out. It was so cute. For a moment, I thought I might be able to touch it.
Throughout the day at school, I could only think of the fox at the big beech (山毛榉) tree. At my return to the place where we met, I was sure I’d find it there.
And I did. This time I gathered a little bit more courage and called out to it, “Fox!” Of course it escaped. But that only made me long to meet it again. I decided that if I could find its kennel (洞) and catch it, I would try and tame (驯服) it, making it my friend.
Thus, I spent most of my free time in the forests trying to find the fox during the following months. But I never saw it again before winter came. During the winter, I followed its footprints far across the fields. Suddenly I was alarmed by the howling of wolves near me. I ran away frightened, stumbled and hurt my ankle. It healed very slowly, so that I had to stay at home during the winter, reading a book about animals of the forest and foxes.
When spring arrived, I was free again. I looked for fox kennels and waited for my fox. To my amazement, it had got young ones but kept moving because of my observations; therefore I decided to observe the fox from a longer distance.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Finally, it would let me get close.

To my surprise, the day after I took it home, it fled.

Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.

Adults with a poor education are also likely to have poor health, a growing body of evidence suggests. Study after study has confirmed the link, and now experts are zeroing in on the reasons for it and what can be done. “People with higher education tend to have better jobs, better income, and better benefits,” said David R. Williams, a professor of public health in America.
Those benefits, he said, go beyond health benefits to include such other factors as the flexibility to take a day off or part of a day to see a doctor. “People with higher levels of education tend to have more resources to cope with stress and life,” Williams said. “They have stress, of course, but also more resources to cope with it—such as access to a health club to exercise away the stress—than people with less education,” he said.
“Being better educated also means that a person is more likely to understand the world of modern medicine,” said Erik Angner, an assistant professor of philosophy and economics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who has researched the link between education and happiness. “Modern medicine is incredibly complex. And if you lack the basic reading skills required to function adequately in the health-care environment, you might find it hard to effectively understand your medical care.”
A report issued by Williams’ commission found that, compared with college graduates, adults who did not graduate from high school were 2.5 times as likely to be in less than very good health. The report suggested that factors outside the medical system play an important role in determining people’s health. Access to medical care is crucial, but it isn’t enough to improve health. What’s needed, they suggested, is increased focus on schools and education—encouraging people to obtain more education.
8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Poor Education May Lead to Poor Health
B. Higher Education Can Bring More Income
C. Happiness Comes from Good Education
D. Medical Care Safeguards Good Health
9. What does “zeroing in on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. get rid of B. remove from C. cope with D. pay attention to
10. What can we learn from Angner’s words
A. Better education means understanding the world better.
B. The modern medicine world is too difficult to understand.
C. People with a good education may be happier.
D. Reading skills help in understanding medical care.
11. What is stressed in the report issued by Williams’ commission
A. Adults are less likely to have good health.
B. The medical system determines people’s health.
C. More education is needed to improve people’s health.
D. More access to medical care is important.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C

Every order of takeout comes with a side of single-use plastics and each plastic fork. knife, spoon and straw-whether or not you wanted it or used it-ends up in the trash.
New research found that 139 million metric tons of single-use plastic waste was generated in 2021-six million metric tons more single-use plastics compared to 2019. A hunger for takeout meals during the pandemic contributed to the surge.
An estimated 60% of Americans order takeout or delivery at least once a week and online ordering is growing 300% faster than in-house dining; that means millions of single-use plastic utensils (餐具) are going out with every order.
New laws aim to address the problem. Some of the recent bills are thanks to The National Reuse Network, part of the environmental nonprofit Upstream, which launched a national Skip the Stuff campaign to work out policies that require restaurants to include single-use plastic utensils, straws, and napkins only when customers request them.
The bills also require meal delivery and online apps like Uber Eats, GrubHub and Door Dash to add single-use extras to their menus; customers can choose the items and quantities to have them included in the order. Customers that don’t order the single-use plastics won’t receive them. The goal of the bills is to reduce the 40 billion plastic utensils sent to the landfill (垃圾填埋场) every year.
“Most of the time, people are taking food home or to their offices where there are reusable utensils so these utensils wind up in a drawer or get thrown out,” says Alexis Goldsmith, national organizing director for a nationwide project Beyond Plastics. “Some people do need utensils, but for the most part, they’re not needed.”
To date, Skip the Stuff bills have been passed in several cities, including Denver, Washington, D.C. and Chicago, California and Washington state passed statewide bills that make single-use plastic “accessories” available with takeout orders only upon request.
Organizations like Upstream, Beyond plastics and NRDC have created toolkits to help additional communities launch their own Skip the Stuff campaigns.
12 What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Great desire. B. Sharp decline. C. Rapid increase. D. Obvious panic.
13. According to the Skip the Stuff campaign, what can be done by restaurants
A. Choosing green products. B. Adding single-use napkins.
C. Recycling and reusing utensils. D. Providing utensils only on request.
14. What’s the purpose of the recent new bills
A. To reduce plastic waste. B. To stop bad eating habits.
C. To encourage people to eat out. D. To better the dining environment.
15. What would Goldsmith probably think of the Skip the Stuff campaign
A. Unimportant. B. Damaging. C. Much-needed. D. Well-known.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于一次性塑料垃圾问题的现状、原因以及相关的解决策略。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“New research found that 139 million metric tons of single-use plastic waste was generated in 2021-six million metric tons more single-use plastics compared to 2019.(新的研究发现，2021年产生了1.39亿吨一次性塑料废物——与2019年相比，一次性塑料增加了600万吨)”可知，2021年与2019年相比，一次性塑料增加了600万吨。由此可推测，疫情期间人们对外卖的渴望促成了这一激增。划线单词指的是“增加”。选项A“Great desire (极其渴望)”；选项B“Sharp decline (急剧下降)”；选项C“Rapid increase (快速增长)”；选项D“Obvious panic (明显的恐慌)”。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“New laws aim to address the problem. Some of the recent bills are thanks to The National Reuse Network, part of the environmental nonprofit Upstream, which launched a national Skip the Stuff campaign to work out policies that require restaurants to include single-use plastic utensils, straws, and napkins only when customers request them.(新的法律旨在解决这个问题。最近的一些账单要归功于国家再利用网络，该网络是环保非营利组织Upstream的一部分，它发起了一项全国性的“Skip the Stuff”运动，以制定政策，要求餐馆只有在顾客要求时才提供一次性塑料餐具、吸管和餐巾)”可知，根据Skip the Stuff活动，餐厅只有在顾客要求时才提供餐具。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The goal of the bills is to reduce the 40 billion plastic utensils sent to the landfill (垃圾填埋场) every year.(该法案的目标是减少每年送往垃圾填埋场的400亿个塑料餐具)”可知，新法案的目标是减少每年送往垃圾填埋场的400亿个塑料餐具，也就是减少塑料垃圾。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段““Most of the time, people are taking food home or to their offices where there are reusable utensils so these utensils wind up in a drawer or get thrown out,” says Alexis Goldsmith, national organizing director for a nationwide project Beyond Plastics. “Some people do need utensils, but for the most part, they’re not needed.”(“大多数时候，人们把食物带回家或带到办公室，那里有可重复使用的餐具，所以这些餐具最终被放在抽屉里或被扔掉，” Alexis Goldsmith说，他是一个全国性项目“Beyond Plastics”的全国组织主任。“有些人确实需要餐具，但大多数人都不需要。”)”可知，Alexis Goldsmith认为大多数餐具最终会被浪费，因此“Skip the Stuff”运动是非常需要的。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了由于中国最大的淡水湖鄱阳湖遭遇严重干旱，江豚的生存环境发生了巨大变化，江西省已经采取了许多措施来保护江豚。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：由于中国最大的淡水湖鄱阳湖遭遇严重干旱，江豚的生存环境发生了巨大变化，江西省已经采取了许多措施来保护江豚。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词finless porpoises，在从句作主语，指物。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这种被国际自然保护联盟列为极度濒危的物种，现在只生活在长江中下游。分析句子结构可知list与逻辑主语species构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填listed。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：在过去的几年里，江豚的数量急剧下降，目前只有457只生活在鄱阳湖。根据后文in the past few years可知为现在完成时，主语为The number of finless porpoises，助动词用has。故填has dropped。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在过去的几年里，江豚的数量急剧下降，目前只有457只生活在鄱阳湖。此处为with的复合结构，且457与live为主动关系，故用现在分词作宾补。故填living。
【40题详解】
考查比较级。句意：随着水位下降到不足12米，8月6日，该湖正式进入今年的旱季，比1951年有记录以来的任何时候都早。根据后文“than at any time since records began in 1951”可知为比较级。故填earlier。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：这种变化无疑会增加江豚撞船的风险，也会导致江豚的食物短缺。修饰动词increase应用副词undoubtedly，故填undoubtedly。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：这种变化无疑会增加江豚撞船的风险，也会导致江豚的食物短缺。短语result in表示“导致”。故填in。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：江西省农业和农村事务厅的王亮表示，为了丰富食物供应，江西省共放生了2亿只鱼、虾和蟹，并培训了2000多名志愿者来拯救这些物种。短语a total of表示“总共”。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：江西省农业和农村事务厅的王亮表示，为了丰富食物供应，江西省共放生了2亿只鱼、虾和蟹，并培训了2000多名志愿者来拯救这些物种。分析句子结构可知enrich在句中作目的状语，应用不定式。故填to enrich。
【45题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：江西省农业和农村事务厅的王亮表示，为了丰富食物供应，江西省共放生了2亿只鱼、虾和蟹，并培训了2000多名志愿者来拯救这些物种。根据上文more than 2,000可知可数名词volunteer应用复数。故填volunteers。

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。
My story started one autumn morning, at the bend on a path.
I was 13 years old, and was on the way to school. It was the first time I had caught sight of a fox. Fascinated to the point that I forgot all fear, I dared to go up to it. I had never come so close to a wild animal. There was nobody else around, only me and the fox.
“Hey, fox!” I tried to greet it, though my voice was so weak that it felt like I was saying hello to myself. It didn’t hear me. It stayed there and I watched it. My heart was beating flat out. It was so cute. For a moment, I thought I might be able to touch it.
Throughout the day at school, I could only think of the fox at the big beech (山毛榉) tree. At my return to the place where we met, I was sure I’d find it there.
And I did. This time I gathered a little bit more courage and called out to it, “Fox!” Of course it escaped. But that only made me long to meet it again. I decided that if I could find its kennel (洞) and catch it, I would try and tame (驯服) it, making it my friend.
Thus, I spent most of my free time in the forests trying to find the fox during the following months. But I never saw it again before winter came. During the winter, I followed its footprints far across the fields. Suddenly I was alarmed by the howling of wolves near me. I ran away frightened, stumbled and hurt my ankle. It healed very slowly, so that I had to stay at home during the winter, reading a book about animals of the forest and foxes.
When spring arrived, I was free again. I looked for fox kennels and waited for my fox. To my amazement, it had got young ones but kept moving because of my observations; therefore I decided to observe the fox from a longer distance.

Paragraph 1:
Finally, it would let me get close.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
To my surprise, the day after I took it home, it fled.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Finally, it would let me get close. One day, as I sat quietly under the shade of a tree, the fox cautiously approached, its bright and soft eyes fixed on me. I held my breath, not wanting to startle the little creature. As it came closer, I could see the trust in its eyes, and I knew that it had got accustomed to my presence and that our bond had deepened. Over time, I was able to bring it food and even stroke its fur and occasionally, it would huddle peacefully against me as we sat on the green grass, like two old friends. And just like what I’d do to an old friend who seemed to need help, I took it home, thinking I could better take care of it and we could better enjoy each other’s company.
To my surprise, the day after I took it home, it fled. It jumped out of an open window and in no time vanished into the woods. As I watched it slip away, with a nimbleness and grace that was a joy to behold, darting through the underbrush with a fluidity that spoke of its wild nature, I suddenly realized that perhaps the wild called to it more strongly than I ever could. I should never have tried to keep it as a tame pet, because wild creatures were supposed to be roaming in their own home, rather than being confined in mine. I didn’t see it then — not even with the help of that book about foxes, but now, on looking back, I know that my self-acclaimed “love” for it was not love at all, but possession.
【解析】
【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了一个秋天的早晨，13岁的作者在去学校的路上第一次见到一只狐狸，被它吸引住并产生了想摸它的冲动。作者整天都想着那只狐狸，决定回到相遇的地方寻找它。狐狸的确在那里，但是在作者喊了一声后，它逃走了，但这只增加了作者再次见到它的渴望。作者决定尝试找到它的窝，并驯服它成为自己的朋友。几个月的时间里，作者试图在森林里找到这只狐狸，但没有成功。因为追踪雪地里狐狸的脚印，作者的脚踝不幸受伤了，他不得不在冬天呆在家里读有关森林动物和狐狸的书。春天来临时，作者决定继续找这只狐狸，发现它已经有了小狐狸，于是他决定从更远的地方观察它。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“最后，它会让我接近。”可知，第一段可描写作者成功等到这只狐狸来接近自己，和它相处得很融洽，以及作者把这只狐狸带回了家，以便更好地照顾它。
②由第二段首句内容“令我惊讶的是，我把它带回家的第二天，它就逃走了。”可知，第二段可描写作者看到这只狐狸逃回大自然时的情景，以及从中领悟到人与动物之间应如何相处。
