In the live-streaming (直播) channel of Yang Weiyun, no singing or dancing is performed nor are products sold. Yang teaches pinyin, reading and writing, something that has been most familiar to her for the past 50 years. The difference is her students are mostly adults.
The 73-year-old comes from Huainan city of Anhui province and is an experienced educator. She had been a Chinese teacher in an elementary school for 50 years. In retirement, Yang also wanted to do something meaningful. The rise of short video platforms gave her the idea of continuing her education attempt through live-streaming online. The retiree opened her live-streaming account in May 2021 and offered free pinyin courses designed for kindergarten pupils about to attend primary schools. However, she gradually learned among her viewers there are a lot of illiterate (文盲) adults.
Yang said she found many illiterate adults develop a sense of lack of confidence. They are afraid to go to new places, worried that they couldn’t teach their children or read their boss’s instructions. So, she added targeted content to meet their needs. “Many illiterate adults didn’t have the chance to go to school when they were young. They are the ones in urgent need of becoming literate. I wanted to give them a new starting point,” Yang said.
According to the seventh national census (人口普查) carried out last year, there are 38 million illiterate adults in China. Yang’s live-streaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy.
Yang said students learning through her live-streaming channel each have their own demands. So she always prepares her classes carefully after concluding a live-streaming session. She has tried her best to figure out what ways the students can learn and remember better, and her biggest wish now is to see these students graduate from her classes.
4 What’s Yang’s original purpose when she attempted teaching online
A. To teach retired adults Chinese.
B. To spread Chinese character culture.
C. To teach kids before primary school.
D. To sell products in her live-streaming channel.
5. Why does Yang’s live-streaming class become a hit among adults
A. She was an experienced and respectable teacher.
B. Many people believe her classes are beneficial for their children.
C. Her class is vivid and lively with singing or dancing performance.
D. Many illiterate adults can learn Chinese in an easy and private way in her class.
6. Which of the following can best describe Yang
A. Devoted and helpful. B. Caring and brave.
C. Warm-hearted and strict. D. Persistent and honest.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Illiterate adults need help in education.
B. A retired teacher teaches grown-ups pinyin online.
C. Short video platform offers new ways for education.
D. It’s never too late to teach.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述一位73岁退休老教师直播教人识字的故事。

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Yang’s live-streaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy.(Yang的直播频道为那些想要克服成人文盲的人提供了一种简单而私密的方式)”可知，Yang的直播在不识字的成年人中走红，是因为许多不识字的成年人可以在她的课堂上以一种简单而私密的方式学习汉语，故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“She had been a Chinese teacher in an elementary school for 50 years. In retirement, Yang also wanted to do something meaningful.(她在一所小学当了50年的语文老师。退休后，Yang也想做一些有意义的事情)”及第四段中“Yang’s live-streaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy.(Yang的直播频道为那些想要克服成人文盲的人提供了一种简单而私密的方式)”可知，Yang献身于教育事业，退休后用直播的方式帮助不识字的成年人学习汉语，故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Yang teaches pinyin, reading and writing, something that has been most familiar to her for the past 50 years. The difference is her students are mostly adults.(Yang教授拼音、阅读和写作，这是她在过去50年里最熟悉的东西。不同的是，她的学生大多是成年人)”可知，文章主要讲述一位73岁老教师直播教人识字的故事。B项“一位退休教师在网上教成年人拼音”适合作为文章标题。故选B。

A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a combination of unusually heavy rains and rapid snow melt. The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated. Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.
The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.
Park officials have begun work on improving an alternative road to Gardiner. This will ensure that locals can access food, supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.
Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely. But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd (奇数的) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even (偶数的) numbers can go on even days.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is home to many unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.
8. What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Tracked. B. Separated.
C. Decorated. D. Improved.
9. What was the possible result of the flood
A. Gardiner’s economy would get into trouble.
B. Communities and homes were left in ruins.
C. Almost 900 people were trapped in the park.
D. The park’s south gate was closed for a while.
10. What can be inferred from the text
A. Local people can get daily necessities from visitors.
B. The park has adopted a new system to recognize faces.
C. The license plate number decides when cars enter the park.
D. More tourists may flood into the park for geological features.
11. Which of the following statements is true according to the text
A. Flooding has caused widespread damage in the US.
B. Yellowstone National Park is closed due to flooding.
C. People can visit Yellowstone National Park any day.
D. Natural beauty makes Yellowstone famous.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。2022年6月13日，黄石国家公园遭遇洪水袭击。文章介绍了此次洪水袭击带来的一系列影响和官方所采取的应对措施。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的部分“The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways(高而快速的水流摧毁了桥梁，冲走了整条道路)”可知，桥梁和道路被摧毁了，所以，社区之间肯定是孤立的，划线单词isolated意义为“孤立的”。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段句子“The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.（洪水造成近900人数日无电无水。加德纳的经济依赖于每年通过公园北门的近75万游客，这可能会受到打击。洪水严重破坏了通往黄石公园的主要北部入口道路，可能需要数年时间才能重建）”可知，加德纳的经济将陷入困境。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段句子“Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd (奇数的) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even (偶数的) numbers can go on even days.(公园管理人员已经启动了一个新的进入系统，以防止过度拥挤。它基于访问者的车辆牌照的最后一个数字和当月的日历日期。奇数号的汽车可以在每月的奇数日参观，偶数号的汽车可以在偶数日参观)”可推论出，车牌号码决定车辆何时可以进入公园。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的最后两句“It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.（它以其自然美景而闻名，这包括山脉、河流和湖泊。几千年来，冰与火的力量塑造了这座公园）”可知，自然美景使黄石公园闻名遐迩。故选D项。

Who would have thought a teenager’s mobile phone could help them manage their mental health by supporting a good night’s sleep A new app aimed at 12-to 16-year-olds is showing strong early results, improving both the hours of sleep and reducing depression and anxiety.
Sleep Ninja, a free app created by mental health research organization the Black Dog Institute, has shown significant early results in improving teenagers’ sleep patterns, so critical not just for school readiness but for overall good mental health, co-creator Aliza Werner-Seidler said.
“Adolescents struggle to get the recommended eight to 10 hours of sleep each night,” Dr Werner-Seidler, a clinical psychologist, said. “As a result, approximately 40 per cent of all young people will experience a significant sleep problem by early high school which heightens their risk of mental ill-health, which is a risk factor for a range of disorders including depression and anxiety.”
Those using the app nominate a time to be up in the morning to make it to school or other activities. From there, it work backwards, determining when they should be in bed. The app gives an alert to start a pre-bed routine, which launches at least an hour before bed time. Part of that routine is to put the phone and other devices away, and engage in behaviors more suitable to sleep. Some of this is simply to have a shower, clean teeth, read a book. But the app also offers a form of practical tips to help them establish sleep routines, things like how to set up their bedroom, what to do during the day to improve their chances of sleep and how to reduce those negative repetitive thoughts that come in at night.
Dr Werner-Seidler said Sleep Ninja was the only such app designed specifically for adolescents, and the results so far had been very encouraging. She added that we also saw rates of depression drop from 77 percent at the start of the study to 44 percent after using the app.
12. What do we know about Sleep Ninja
A. It’s a newly-designed mobile phone. B. It’s a free product of the Black Dog Institute.
C. It is invented by 12-to 16-year-olds. D. It has nothing to do with mental health.
13. What does the third paragraph focus on
A. The creating process of Sleep Ninja. B. The heavy burden of schooling.
C. The practical need for Sleep Ninja. D. The cost of making Sleep Ninja.
14. How can Sleep Ninja work on teenagers
A. By waking up on time in the morning. B. By setting up the bedroom.
C. By putting digital devices away. D. By helping form good sleep routines.
15. What’s the text
A. A health report. B. A diary entry. C. An advertisement. D. A science fiction.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But the app also offers a form of practical tips to help them establish sleep routines, things like how to set up their bedroom, what to do during the day to improve their chances of sleep and how to reduce those negative repetitive thoughts that come in at night.(但这款应用也提供了一些实用的建议来帮助他们建立睡眠习惯，比如如何布置卧室，白天做什么来提高睡眠的机会，以及如何减少晚上出现的消极重复的想法)”可知，Sleep Ninja青少年帮助形成良好的睡眠习惯。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何帮助人们制定一个计划去调节生物钟，确保起床不再是一件令人头疼的事。
【16题详解】
上文“In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock(事实上，早晨轻松起床的关键在于让你的生物钟休息。)”指出让你的生物钟休息，能帮你早晨轻松起床，空处应该承接上文，指出怎样能让你的生物钟休息，从而实现早上轻松起床，C项“A better plan for sleep can help.(一个更好的睡眠计划会有所帮助。)”符合，引起下文，下文“Here is how to make one.(以下是制作一个睡眠计划的方法。)”中的one代指选项提到的“A better plan”，故选C。
【17题详解】
分析文章结构可知，此处是本段中心句。下文“In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.(为了做出改变，你需要决定为什么它是重要的。你想准时起床和家人一起吃早餐，做些运动或者只是为你的一天做更好的准备吗？一旦你清楚了你的理由，告诉你的家人或室友你想要做的改变。)”可知，本段主要讲要找到自己的动机，B项“Find the right motivation.(找到正确的动机。)”符合，能概括本段内容，故选B。
【18题详解】
下文“That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.(如果你买一个带定时器的咖啡机，你可以多睡一刻钟。)”指出，作者建议买一个带定时器的咖啡机，这样就能节约15分钟喝咖啡的时间，让你多睡15分钟，由此可知，空处应该引起下文，指出你在咖啡馆排队会浪费15分钟时间，所以作者建议买一个带定时器的咖啡机，G项“Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.(重新考虑一下你在咖啡馆排队买咖啡的15分钟。)”符合，其中“the 15 minutes”呼应下文的“a quarter-hour”，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据本段中心句“Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends.(周末保持你的睡眠/起床时间表)”可知，本段主要建议人们在周末也要坚持自己的作息时间，上文“But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found(但最近的一项研究发现，周末的补偿实际上会让你在接下来的一周更加困倦。)”指出如果周末没有保持自己的作息时间，而是多睡觉，这实际上让自己下周更困倦，由此可知，此处强调我们应该要保持自己的作息时间，F项“Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day it is.(不管是哪一天，都要坚持你设定的睡觉时间和起床时间。)”符合，对上文做出总结，故选F。
【20题详解】
上文“After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.(在你尝试了一个星期的新方法之后，看看你的记录。)”指出我们在尝试新方法后，要自己做好记录同时进行评估，下文“If not, take another look at other methods you could try.(如果没有，再看看其他你可以尝试的方法。)”指出尝试的新方法如果不起作用，要改变方法，由此可推知，空处应该与下文对应，指出如果方法奏效，要继续使用，E项“If the steps you take are working, keep it up.(如果你采取的措施奏效了，那就坚持下去。)”符合，故选E。

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 life as a kid was a sweet life. I lived in a beautiful house with the beautiful surroundings in Peru. There was one particular thing I loved and it was a huge tree that was in my backyard. As a child, I used to climb the tree every day. Every time I went, I climbed higher and higher, reaching new branches, obstacles (障碍物), and pathways on my way up. One day, I finally reached the top and I could see my island. I felt I was on top of the world, and nothing could stop me. It was the special tree that taught me never to give up and reach higher.
Then, there was the day that seemed like the end of my life. This specific day changed my life forever.
It was a nice summer day. After breakfast, my family headed to the park to see my baseball game. In the evening we went to a carnival (嘉年华) in my town. My grandma was selling blankets under a tent. Suddenly, the mood of the day changed when my parents took me to my grandma’s tent. Still to this day, I remember the exact words my dad said to me, “Son, how would you like to move to the United States ” I couldn’t believe what he said. I then ran away from him as the tears rolled down my cheeks. My perfect life was being taken away from me.
Two weeks later, we arrived at New York in late July, and my aunt and uncle drove us to Springfield, Massachusetts where we lived for seven years. As a 9-year-old kid who grew up in Perl, I knew little about local language and culture. What’s worse, September came soon and school started.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
The first few months there were not fun or easy. I was afraid to go to the new school and make new friends. As time passed by, teachers finally knew all of their students and everyone began to adapt to the life, except for me. Most kids ignored me and some tried to talk to me, but I couldn’t understand them or say anything. It seemed that fear, loneliness and sadness all came over me.
Paragraph 2
Despite all those problems, I still remembered that special tree. That tree once taught me never to give up and reach higher. Therefore, I made great efforts to overcome the difficulties and began to speak English in public. Gradually, some classmates came to me after class and played with me. Much to my joy, I made some friends and even was invited to their party. Now I have beaten every difficulty that I have met in life, and keep moving forward. I realize that my perfect life was never taken away from me; it has just started.

In the live-streaming (直播) channel of Yang Weiyun, no singing or dancing is performed nor are products sold. Yang teaches pinyin, reading and writing, something that has been most familiar to her for the past 50 years. The difference is her students are mostly adults.
The 73-year-old comes from Huainan city of Anhui province and is an experienced educator. She had been a Chinese teacher in an elementary school for 50 years. In retirement, Yang also wanted to do something meaningful. The rise of short video platforms gave her the idea of continuing her education attempt through live-streaming online. The retiree opened her live-streaming account in May 2021 and offered free pinyin courses designed for kindergarten pupils about to attend primary schools. However, she gradually learned among her viewers there are a lot of illiterate (文盲) adults.
Yang said she found many illiterate adults develop a sense of lack of confidence. They are afraid to go to new places, worried that they couldn’t teach their children or read their boss’s instructions. So, she added targeted content to meet their needs. “Many illiterate adults didn’t have the chance to go to school when they were young. They are the ones in urgent need of becoming literate. I wanted to give them a new starting point,” Yang said.
According to the seventh national census (人口普查) carried out last year, there are 38 million illiterate adults in China. Yang’s live-streaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy.
Yang said students learning through her live-streaming channel each have their own demands. So she always prepares her classes carefully after concluding a live-streaming session. She has tried her best to figure out what ways the students can learn and remember better, and her biggest wish now is to see these students graduate from her classes.
4. What’s Yang’s original purpose when she attempted teaching online
A. To teach retired adults Chinese.
B. To spread Chinese character culture.
C. To teach kids before primary school.
D. To sell products in her live-streaming channel.
5. Why does Yang’s live-streaming class become a hit among adults
A. She was an experienced and respectable teacher.
B. Many people believe her classes are beneficial for their children.
C. Her class is vivid and lively with singing or dancing performance.
D. Many illiterate adults can learn Chinese in an easy and private way in her class.
6. Which of the following can best describe Yang
A. Devoted and helpful. B. Caring and brave.
C. Warm-hearted and strict. D. Persistent and honest.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Illiterate adults need help in education.
B. A retired teacher teaches grown-ups pinyin online.
C. Short video platform offers new ways for education.
D. It’s never too late to teach.

A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a combination of unusually heavy rains and rapid snow melt. The high and fast water flows destroyed bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated. Fortunately, the approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.
The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy, which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.
Park officials have begun work on improving an alternative road to Gardiner. This will ensure that locals can access food, supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.
Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely. But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June 22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd (奇数的) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even (偶数的) numbers can go on even days.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve spans three states and is home to many unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of years.
8. What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Tracked. B. Separated.
C. Decorated. D. Improved.
9. What was the possible result of the flood
A. Gardiner’s economy would get into trouble.
B. Communities and homes were left in ruins.
C. Almost 900 people were trapped in the park.
D. The park’s south gate was closed for a while.
10. What can be inferred from the text
A. Local people can get daily necessities from visitors.
B. The park has adopted a new system to recognize faces.
C. The license plate number decides when cars enter the park.
D. More tourists may flood into the park for geological features.
11. Which of the following statements is true according to the text
A. Flooding has caused widespread damage in the US.
B. Yellowstone National Park is closed due to flooding.
C. People can visit Yellowstone National Park any day.

Who would have thought a teenager’s mobile phone could help them manage their mental health by supporting a good night’s sleep A new app aimed at 12-to 16-year-olds is showing strong early results, improving both the hours of sleep and reducing depression and anxiety.
Sleep Ninja, a free app created by mental health research organization the Black Dog Institute, has shown significant early results in improving teenagers’ sleep patterns, so critical not just for school readiness but for overall good mental health, co-creator Aliza Werner-Seidler said.
“Adolescents struggle to get the recommended eight to 10 hours of sleep each night,” Dr Werner-Seidler, a clinical psychologist, said. “As a result, approximately 40 per cent of all young people will experience a significant sleep problem by early high school which heightens their risk of mental ill-health, which is a risk factor for a range of disorders including depression and anxiety.”
Those using the app nominate a time to be up in the morning to make it to school or other activities. From there, it work backwards, determining when they should be in bed. The app gives an alert to start a pre-bed routine, which launches at least an hour before bed time. Part of that routine is to put the phone and other devices away, and engage in behaviors more suitable to sleep. Some of this is simply to have a shower, clean teeth, read a book. But the app also offers a form of practical tips to help them establish sleep routines, things like how to set up their bedroom, what to do during the day to improve their chances of sleep and how to reduce those negative repetitive thoughts that come in at night.
Dr Werner-Seidler said Sleep Ninja was the only such app designed specifically for adolescents, and the results so far had been very encouraging. She added that we also saw rates of depression drop from 77 percent at the start of the study to 44 percent after using the app.

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 life as a kid was a sweet life. I lived in a beautiful house with the beautiful surroundings in Peru. There was one particular thing I loved and it was a huge tree that was in my backyard. As a child, I used to climb the tree every day. Every time I went, I climbed higher and higher, reaching new branches, obstacles (障碍物), and pathways on my way up. One day, I finally reached the top and I could see my island. I felt I was on top of the world, and nothing could stop me. It was the special tree that taught me never to give up and reach higher.
Then, there was the day that seemed like the end of my life. This specific day changed my life forever.
It was a nice summer day. After breakfast, my family headed to the park to see my baseball game. In the evening we went to a carnival (嘉年华) in my town. My grandma was selling blankets under a tent. Suddenly, the mood of the day changed when my parents took me to my grandma’s tent. Still to this day, I remember the exact words my dad said to me, “Son, how would you like to move to the United States ” I couldn’t believe what he said. I then ran away from him as the tears rolled down my cheeks. My perfect life was being taken away from me.
Two weeks later, we arrived at New York in late July, and my aunt and uncle drove us to Springfield, Massachusetts where we lived for seven years. As a 9-year-old kid who grew up in Perl, I knew little about local language and culture. What’s worse, September came soon and school started.
