阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
Poland is known for food that is rich in meat. But as in many countries across the world, recent years have witnessed a rise in plant-based living. If you’re a vegetarian traveller in Gdansk looking for some meat-free options, make sure to pay these restaurants a visit!
Pierogarnia Mandu
A trip to Gdansk would be incomplete without pierogi, dumplings containing sweet fillings. They’re the ultimate Polish comfort food! This restaurant specializes in pierogi. You’ll also get to watch the pierogi being made in full view of the restaurant. It’s worth booking in advance as it’s very popular.
Avocado Vegan Bistro
It is a small, comfortable cafe with a menu that includes classics like dumplings as well as daily specials. It can get pretty busy, so you may have to choose for takeaway rather than eating in, but the food is fresh and tasty. There is also a great selection of vegan (严格素食主义者) cakes and desserts to choose from, so it’s worth a visit even if you’ve already eaten.
Zakwasownia
Also in Wrzeszcz is Zakwasownia, a vegan organic restaurant. The menu is not huge, but you can expect quality rather than quantity with dishes. There is a lot of attention to detail in the way that dishes are plated, creating a dining experience that feels a little fancy — perfect for a date night or a special occasion. There is also a children’s menu, so it’s family friendly, too.
Manna 68
Also in the Old Town is Manna 68, an only vegan restaurant. The menu is varied. Its central location makes it a perfect pit stop(短暂休息) after a day of exploring the streets of the Old Town. That also means it’s a little pricier, but for quality food, friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere, it’s worth it.
1. What can travelers experience in Pierogarnia Mandu
A. Choose for takeaway. B. Buy free comfort food.
C. Make dumplings with families. D. Enjoy the process of making dumplings.
2. Which restaurant suits a young couple with a kid
A. Manna 68. B. Zakwasownia.
C. Pierogarnia Mandu. D. Avocado Vegan Bistro.
3. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. An art magazine.
C. A travel brochure. D. An academic arttele.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇应用文，介绍了波兰的美食文化以及在格但斯克旅行时，素食者可以去哪些餐厅品尝美食。
【1题详解】

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Zakwasownia中关键句“There is also a children’s|menu, so it’s family friendly, too.(还有一个儿童菜单，所以它也适合家庭)”可知，Zakwasownia适合带孩子年轻夫妇。故选B。

I've just done my first jump since the accident that nearly killed me just a year ago. As I was lying in hospital, thinking that I would never skydive again, I wasn't feeling glad to be alive. Instead, I was wondering how I could possibly live without it.
It all started one evening after another nine-to-five day. I was sitting at home thinking, “There has to be more to life than this,” when an advertisement came on the television, “Try skydiving!”
The next day, I called the nearest skydiving center and booked my first jump. I will never forget my first jump. It was a beautiful, cloudless day and the sun was just going down. As I pushed myself away from the plane at 11,000 feet, my mind went blank.
Words cannot describe the excitement I experienced while I was free-falling That was the most amazing four minutes of my life.
From the first jump, I was hooked. I started spending every free moment I had skydiving. At work, I sat in front of my computer and imagined ways of making more money so that I could jump more often.
The accident happened on my 1,040th jump. Another skydiver hit my parachute(降落伞) at 80 feet. I fell and hit the ground at about 30 mph, face down. I broke my legs, my right arm and my nose. I lost 6 liters of blood, 19 teeth and 25 pounds of fat. I was lucky to be alive.
People who have never experienced skydiving will find it hard to understand that my only reason to get better was that I could do it again. All I can say is that for me, skydiving is life and life is skydiving.

The ceremony, themed “Hearts Meet, Dreams Shine”, was held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium. also known as the “Big Lotus”.
While the opening ceremony on Sept 23 of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou showcased to the world the host city’s rich cultural heritage, picturesque scenery and technological prowess (造诣), the opening ceremony of the Asian Para Games focused more on the softer side of Hangzhou and its people.
The ceremony featured the osmanthus (桂花), the city flower of Hangzhou, as the key element to convey the “sunny, harmonious, persevering and sharing” spirit of the Para Games.
Following an opening show featuring a first-person narration by a partially sighted young girl who welcomed guests from a long distance while the osmanthus is in full blossom, spectators cheered as Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang declared the opening of the sporting gala.
Twenty-two massive bunches of golden osmanthus, which represent the 22 sports featured in the event, served as the centerpiece of the ceremony.
With the help of technology, the bouquets took on different configurations —sometimes as water, sometimes as arched bridges —before eventually turning into a giant crown hung in the air, welcoming the athletes as they entered the stadium.
Majid Rashed, the president of the Asian Paralympic Committee, expressed appreciation for the Chinese host’s thorough organization. “The huge efforts of the Chinese government and the organizing committee in making these Games a success, is helping us to get closer to achieving our vision of creating an inclusive Asia through sport,” said Rashed, who thanked the organizing committee for its “tireless efforts, which will make these the best ever Asian Para Games, I’m sure”.

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Back in January, I was determined to get fit seriously. ____16____ But then just as I was close to giving up again, I discovered a brilliant new way to make exercise better: by turning it into a video-game.
Zwift is essentially a cycling game that you control by riding your real bike, which is equipped with a device called a turbo-trainer. This makes it like an exercise bike. As you ride, the trainer sends signals to your computer or tablet to control the character on screen. ____17____ For example, as you’re cycling up a hill in the game, you can actually feel the different levels of resistance on the bike.
After signing up for a 12/month subscription, you can participate in virtual cycle rides in 3D-recreations of real places, like London or in fantastical fictional locations invented by the game designers. ____18____ As you cycle along The Mall towards Buckingham Palace, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing the journey. Though it is obviously only a game, just seeing the character move is surprisingly motivating.
____19____ Go a little faster and you’ll be rewarded with a little achievement marker. If you ride harder, you might win a race against another real player and unlock a new item in a regular video game, which can never be matched by a traditional exercise bike.
I’m not the only person who has noticed this. ____20____ Today there are many other companies chasing the same audience, and they all offer their own unique twists on the formula.
A. Zwift makes it easy to work out.
B. And importantly, you’re not alone.
C. The rest of the tech industry has, too.
D. I played Zwift, a cycling game for training.
E. And then the game sends instructions back to the trainer.
F. Smartly, the tricks of video-games will keep pushing you.
G. This would mean hours’ stretching and sweating each week.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款叫做Zwift的自行车游戏健身软件。
【16题详解】
上文“Back in January, I was determined to get fit seriously.(早在一月份，我就下定决心要认真减肥)”提到了减肥，选项中this是关键词，与上文的get fit呼应，所以G选项“这意味着每周要花好几个小时拉伸和流汗”承接上文构成顺承关系，符合语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“As you ride, the trainer sends signals to your computer or tablet to control the character on screen.(当你骑的时候，训练器会向你的电脑或平板电脑发送信号来控制屏幕上的角色)”提到了发送信号，E项中sends是关键词，与上文的sends呼应，所以E选项“然后游戏将指令发送回训练器”承接上文内容，符合语境。故选E项。
【18题详解】
下文“As you cycle along The Mall towards Buckingham Palace, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing the journey.(当你沿着林荫大道向白金汉宫骑行时，其他真正的骑自行车的人会出现在你身边，分享你的旅程)”提到了其他骑自行车的人，B选项中not alone是关键词，与下文的other real human cyclists构成因果关系，所以B选项“重要的是，你并不孤单”，符合语境。故选B项。
【19题详解】
下文“Go a little faster and you’ll be rewarded with a little achievement marker. If you ride harder, you might win a race against another real player and unlock a new item in a regular video game, which can never be matched by a traditional exercise bike.(再快一点，你就会得到一个小小的成就标记。如果你骑得更努力，你可能会在与另一个真正的玩家的比赛中获胜，并在普通的电子游戏中解锁一个新物品，这是传统的健身自行车永远无法比拟的)”提到了推动你不断前进的一些技巧，F选项中pushing是关键词，与下文的faster和harder呼应，所以F选项“巧妙地，电子游戏的技巧将继续推动你”能概括下文内容，符合语境。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“I’m not the only person who has noticed this.(我不是唯一一个注意到这一点的人)”提到了不是唯一的人，C选项中too是关键词，与上文构成顺承关系，所以C选项“科技行业的其他公司也是如此”承接上文，符合语境。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍茶的历史和中国人喝茶的习俗。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这也是一个更好地享受生活的方式。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格后面的名词way是可数名词单数，这里表示泛指，“一个”的意思，第一个音素是辅音音素，所以用a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：关于茶的发现的故事取决于你问的人，但我们知道中国人从5000年前的神农氏开始就一直在喝茶。分析句子结构和意思可知，____2____ are about the discovery of tea是定语从句，先行词是Stories，在从句中做主语，指物。故填which/that。
【38题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：通常，茶被认为是药用的，是日常生活的中心，因此中国的一句古老的谚语将茶与柴米油盐酱醋一起列为每天早上要收集的七种重要东西。分析句子结构和意思可知，句子主语tea和谓语动词believe是被动关系，这句话描述的是现在的事实，所以谓语用一般现在时的被动语态结构，主语是tea，be动词用is。故填is believed。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：见第3题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词，修饰后面的名词life，意为“日常的”。故填daily。
【40题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：茶在中国社会传统上有三个主要目的：彰显地位、凝聚人心、增进健康。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格前面有three修饰，所以名词用复数形式。故填purposes。

考查副词。句意：在古代，“贡茶”是皇帝专用的。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要副词，修饰谓语动词was kept，意为“专门地”。故填specially。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：给客人一杯茶来欢迎他们是很常见的。分析句子结构和意思可知，It是形式主语，后面用动词不定式短语作真正的主语。故填to give。
【43题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：它意味着充当一种媒介，通过它，人们可以更接近自然。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查固定搭配act as，意为“充当”。故填as。
【44题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：见第8题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词的比较级，表示“更加近的”意思。故填closer。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在大自然中喝茶将创造与环境的精神联系，并使人们感到放松。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词，作表语，意为“放松的”。故填relaxed。

Rick, a ten-year-old boy, was constantly angry at everything around him. He always fought in school with the other kids. Once he had an outburst in school. Upset by something a classmate said to him, he pushed the boy, and a fight happened. When the teacher stepped in to break it up, Rick went crazy, throwing papers and books around the classroom and rushing out. His teachers couldn’t say anything that would comfort the kid. And the parents of his schoolmates were getting concerned. Rick was earning quite the reputation. After talking with school officials, Rick’s mom tried everything she could to calm Rick down.
She tried different methods until one day she came home with a canvas (画布) and paint. “What’s this ”, Rick asked. Rick’s mom handed over the painting equipment and said, “Whenever you feel angry, paint whatever you’re angry about instead of bursting out.” Rick wasn’t that happy about it but he gave it a try anyway. Over the next few weeks, the young boy created several artworks. They mostly showed disturbing images though. So his mom took all of the paintings and called Rick over so that they could talk about them. “Tell me, Rick. What are these paintings about ”
“Well, the first painting is about how some of the kids show off their new clothes and pencil cases. The next painting is about my teacher who keeps telling me about how I’m doing things wrong. And the last painting is about how one of my schoolmate’s father suggested that I change my attitude. All of them make me so angry.” Rick’s mom, in a calm voice, took Rick by her side and told him: “Don’t you see it, Rick ” “See what ” Rick asked. “You’re so angry at all of these things but not once did you try to understand why you’re getting so angry. What have all these people done to you, really ”

Rick knew it was time to change.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
Rick was lost in thought. It slowly dawned on him that people he was angry at had done nothing wrong. His classmates who showed their new clothes and pencil cases to others might just want to share their happiness with friends. His teacher did blame him because he was being a problem. And his schoolmate’s father was just trying to help him correct his mistakes. They had no intention to hurt him but he just let his unreasonable anger consume him and hurt them. How ridiculous he had been!
Rick knew it was time to change. From then on, Rick tried his best to control his temper. Every time he felt he was to explode, he would walk away and ask himself why he was angry and whether it was reasonable to be angry. Then he would find his peace and laughed his anger away. Gradually, everyone saw a different Rick. He no longer shouted at others or threw things away. He chatted with classmates after class and complimented their new clothes and pencil cases. He even helped teachers carry books before class sometimes. Rick’s change surprised everyone and they all felt happy for him.

Poland is known for food that is rich in meat. But as in many countries across the world, recent years have witnessed a rise in plant-based living. If you’re a vegetarian traveller in Gdansk looking for some meat-free options, make sure to pay these restaurants a visit!
Pierogarnia Mandu
A trip to Gdansk would be incomplete without pierogi, dumplings containing sweet fillings. They’re the ultimate Polish comfort food! This restaurant specializes in pierogi. You’ll also get to watch the pierogi being made in full view of the restaurant. It’s worth booking in advance as it’s very popular.
Avocado Vegan Bistro
It is a small, comfortable cafe with a menu that includes classics like dumplings as well as daily specials. It can get pretty busy, so you may have to choose for takeaway rather than eating in, but the food is fresh and tasty. There is also a great selection of vegan (严格素食主义者) cakes and desserts to choose from, so it’s worth a visit even if you’ve already eaten.
Zakwasownia
Also in Wrzeszcz is Zakwasownia, a vegan organic restaurant. The menu is not huge, but you can expect quality rather than quantity with dishes. There is a lot of attention to detail in the way that dishes are plated, creating a dining experience that feels a little fancy — perfect for a date night or a special occasion. There is also a children’s menu, so it’s family friendly, too.
Manna 68
Also in the Old Town is Manna 68, an only vegan restaurant. The menu is varied. Its central location makes it a perfect pit stop(短暂休息) after a day of exploring the streets of the Old Town. That also means it’s a little pricier, but for quality food, friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere, it’s worth it.
1. What can travelers experience in Pierogarnia Mandu
A. Choose for takeaway. B. Buy free comfort food.
C. Make dumplings with families. D. Enjoy the process of making dumplings.

I've just done my first jump since the accident that nearly killed me just a year ago. As I was lying in hospital, thinking that I would never skydive again, I wasn't feeling glad to be alive. Instead, I was wondering how I could possibly live without it.
It all started one evening after another nine-to-five day. I was sitting at home thinking, “There has to be more to life than this,” when an advertisement came on the television, “Try skydiving!”
The next day, I called the nearest skydiving center and booked my first jump. I will never forget my first jump. It was a beautiful, cloudless day and the sun was just going down. As I pushed myself away from the plane at 11,000 feet, my mind went blank.
Words cannot describe the excitement I experienced while I was free-falling. That was the most amazing four minutes of my life.
From the first jump, I was hooked. I started spending every free moment I had skydiving. At work, I sat in front of my computer and imagined ways of making more money so that I could jump more often.
The accident happened on my 1,040th jump. Another skydiver hit my parachute(降落伞) at 80 feet. I fell and hit the ground at about 30 mph, face down. I broke my legs, my right arm and my nose. I lost 6 liters of blood, 19 teeth and 25 pounds of fat. I was lucky to be alive.
People who have never experienced skydiving will find it hard to understand that my only reason to get better was that I could do it again. All I can say is that for me, skydiving is life and life is skydiving.

A. he wanted to find something more meaningful than just work
B. he was persuaded by the local skydiving club to have a try

A. The writer planned it for a long time. B. The writer was too nervous to enjoy it.
C. It proved to be fairly successful. D. It took place a year before the accident.
6. The underlined sentence “I was hooked” in Paragraph 5 probably means .
A. I was attracted by skydiving B. I was shocked by skydiving
C. I became familiar with skydiving D. I became curious about skydiving
7. Which of the following shows the writer's strong will for skydiving
A. The writer spent almost every nine-to-five day skydiving.
B. The writer worked hard to make more money for skydiving.
C. The writer imagined himself skydiving while at the hospital.

The Chinese paddlefish (白鲟)-one of the world’s largest freshwater fish-has been announced extinct. Scientists say the paddlefish, also called the Chinese swordfish, is believed to have a lineage dating back at least 34 million years. With its long nose and mouth, the paddlefish could grow as long as seven meters.
But a research paper recently published in Science of the Total. Environment reported the paddlefish was now extinct. The researchers include scientists from the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Britain’s University of Kent and the University of South Bohemia in the Czech Republic.

Researchers discovered 332 different species of fish in the Yangtze River in 2017 and 2018. But they did not find a single Chinese paddlefish They guessed the fish disappeared between 2005 and 2010. The extinction of the Chinese paddlefish was “a huge loss” to nature.
Pan Wenjing is a forest and ocean expert with Greenpeace East Asia. “The ecology of the Yangtze River is almost in ruins due to human activity in past decades” Pan said. She stressed that China had taken measures to improve the Yangtze’s environment, including a 10-year ban (禁令) on fishing.
After the extinction was reported in the news, some Chinese media and Internet users took a look back at the large creatures. Many people appeared to have not heard of the Chinese paddlefish before it was announced extinct.
“Every time I see the news of another species going extinct, heart starts to ache,” wrote one Weibo user. “Humans should not live alone on this planet,” the user added.
8. What do we know from Paragraph3

While the opening ceremony on Sept 23 of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou showcased to the world the host city’s rich cultural heritage, picturesque scenery and technological prowess (造诣), the opening ceremony of the Asian Para Games focused more on the softer side of Hangzhou and its people.
The ceremony featured the osmanthus (桂花), the city flower of Hangzhou, as the key element to convey the “sunny, harmonious, persevering and sharing” spirit of the Para Games.
Following an opening show featuring a first-person narration by a partially sighted young girl who welcomed guests from a long distance while the osmanthus is in full blossom, spectators cheered as Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang declared the opening of the sporting gala.
Twenty-two massive bunches of golden osmanthus, which represent the 22 sports featured in the event, served as the centerpiece of the ceremony.
With the help of technology, the bouquets took on different configurations —sometimes as water, sometimes as arched bridges —before eventually turning into a giant crown hung in the air, welcoming the athletes as they entered the stadium.
Majid Rashed, the president of the Asian Paralympic Committee, expressed appreciation for the Chinese host’s thorough organization. “The huge efforts of the Chinese government and the organizing committee in making these Games a success, is helping us to get closer to achieving our vision of creating an inclusive Asia through sport,” said Rashed, who thanked the organizing committee for its “tireless efforts, which will make these the best ever Asian Para Games, I’m sure”.
In the next six days, the Para Games will see 3,100 athletes from 44 countries and regions compete in 564 medal events in 22 sports.

As you ride, the trainer sends signals to your computer or tablet to control the character on screen. ____17____ For example, as you’re cycling up a hill in the game, you can actually feel the different levels of resistance on the bike.

Though it is obviously only a game, just seeing the character move is surprisingly motivating.
____19____ Go a little faster and you’ll be rewarded with a little achievement marker. If you ride harder, you might win a race against another real player and unlock a new item in a regular video game, which can never be matched by a traditional exercise bike.
I’m not the only person who has noticed this. ____20____ Today there are many other companies chasing the same audience, and they all offer their own unique twists on the formula.

Upset by something a classmate said to him, he pushed the boy, and a fight happened. When the teacher stepped in to break it up, Rick went crazy, throwing papers and books around the classroom and rushing out. His teachers couldn’t say anything that would comfort the kid. And the parents of his schoolmates were getting concerned. Rick was earning quite the reputation. After talking with school officials, Rick’s mom tried everything she could to calm Rick down.
She tried different methods until one day she came home with a canvas (画布) and paint. “What’s this ”, Rick asked. Rick’s mom handed over the painting equipment and said, “Whenever you feel angry, paint whatever you’re angry about instead of bursting out.” Rick wasn’t that happy about it but he gave it a try anyway. Over the next few weeks, the young boy created several artworks. They mostly showed disturbing images though. So his mom took all of the paintings and called Rick over so that they could talk about them. “Tell me, Rick. What are these paintings about ”
“Well, the first painting is about how some of the kids show off their new clothes and pencil cases. The next painting is about my teacher who keeps telling me about how I’m doing things wrong. And the last painting is about how one of my schoolmate’s father suggested that I change my attitude. All of them make me so angry.” Rick’s mom, in a calm voice, took Rick by her side and told him: “Don’t you see it, Rick ” “See what ” Rick asked. “You’re so angry at all of these things but not once did you try to understand why you’re getting so angry. What have all these people done to you, really ”
