第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s no surprise that everyone is on the hunt for better ways to accomplish more with less online. Thanks to a select few remote collaboration apps, it’s now easier than ever to realize the goal regardless of where they are located on the globe.
G Suite
G Suite is a term used to describe Google’s collection of productivity apps. They include Google Does (similar to Microsoft Word), Google Sheets (similar to Microsoft Excel), and Google Hangouts, which is a web-based meeting platform.
Process Street
Using Process Street helps keep everyone responsible. Those who use Process Street like the way it securely keeps all members aware of exactly what they need to do and by when. Team members can track activity from the dashboard and get noted when tasks are done.
Loom
Loom is a web-based ad-hoc video platform that allows users to record their screens for quick replaying by others. This is great for how-to videos, webinars, and instructional guides. The best part about Loom is that it’s free to use.
Skype
Skype is the tried and trusted chatting/video conferencing platform that has stood the test of time over and over again. Skype, a Microsoft product, allows for fast communication with anyone else who has a login, and it even supports international calling with video. The only downside with Skype is that you need a Microsoft login in order to use it.
1. Which app can keep a team well informed of assigned tasks
A. G Suite. B. Process Street. C. Loom. D. Skype.
2. What should one do before using Skype
A. Apply for a Microsoft login. B. Specialize in Microsoft Office.
C. Update the Microsoft system. D. Record the Microsoft screens.
3. What do the four apps have in common
A. They are free of charge. B. They need to be replayed.
C. They are difficult to access. D. They can improve efficiency.
B
I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road. I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.
I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds.
Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.
Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures.
4. How did the writer first respond to Paul’s travel plan
A. Scared. B. Puzzled.
C. Disappointed. D. Surprised.
5. What can we learn about Paul Salopek from paragraph 2
A. He was a western journalist. B. He had a knowledge of China.
C. He came to China several times. D. He was Joseph Rock’s acquaintance.
6 What does paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul
A They honored the ancestors. B. They set off in high spirits.
C. They satisfied the locals’ curiosity. D. They built bonds with people.
7. What is the main purpose of the writer’s writing the text
A. To share and reflect on a journey. B. To suggest a new way of travel.
C. To advocate protection of biodiversity. D. To introduce and promote Chinese culture.
C
Like anyone else, I have social media personalities that I like to follow. I watch their Insta stories, YouTube videos and generally keep track of what they are up to by means of social media. These “celebrities (名人)” encourage me to pursue my dreams, and unlike my physical friends, are often more accessible — just a YouTube click away.
So when I found myself telling a story the other day to one of my friends at a cafe and then casually referring to one of these online personalities as “my friend”, I suddenly became aware of the blurred (模糊的) line between my physical and virtual social lives. I was retelling a YouTuber’ s story about how to practice appreciation as if it were my story to tell. The scary part is that it came so naturally that I had to pause and think twice about what had just come out of my mouth. How did I get to the point of referring to someone I had never actually spoken with as a “friend”
Between trying to make a living and maintaining social relationships, it has become especially easy for millennials (those born between the early 1980s and 1990s) to turn to artificial social closeness to meet their basic human needs for social interactions. So how do we really know who our friends are in a world where the term “friend” seems so blurred Is it right to call someone a friend who you’ ve never spoken with in real life
Sometimes I worry that my online friendships are taking away the time I could be spending forming meaningful relationships in real life. In an article in Psychology Today, Alex Pattakos claims that our quest to create more and more friends through popular social media platforms has led to us feeling more disconnected in reality. His research states that we can only maintain around 150 real friendships and the desire to have more connections leads to emotional attachments to online celebrities, referred to as parasocial interactions, and consequently detachment (分离) from our real life connections.
Do you make a distinction between your online and offline “friends” If so, how
8. What does the author think of his real-life friends
A. They are more difficult to reach.
B. They often cause him much trouble.
C. They are fond of following “celebrities”.
D. They mostly lack interest in social media.
9. Which of the following puzzled the author
A. The definition of physical friends.
B. Some phrases used in online language.
C. The proper way to practice appreciation online.
D. The distinction between physical and online friends.
10. What can we infer about “millennials” from paragraph 3
A. They are skillful in AI technology.
B. They have great difficulty making a living.
C. They are eager to seek online friendships.
D. They rarely build firm social relationships.
11. What’s the author’s attitude to online friendships
A. Casual. B. Opposed. C. Supportive. D. Ambiguous.
D
What does it mean to be intelligent If it’s defined by having the biggest brain, then sperm whales (抹香鲸) — whose brain is 20 pounds — would be the brightest creatures on Earth. But, more likely, it’s how a brain is wired. Viewed in this way, intelligence is what gives an organism the best chance to survive in an environment. Language may be one of the best ways to demonstrate that kind of smarts.
“Language allowing humans to be a more advanced species is a hypothesis that somebody came up with one day without really trying to prove it,” says Erich Jarvis, a professor who studies the neuro-biology of vocal learning. “The idea stuck around, but so have other common beliefs that are not really supported with evidence,” he points out.
To get a better grasp of vocal learning and cognition, the study authors turned to songbirds. The team performed seven cognitive experiments on 214 songbirds from 23 different species. Of these, 21 species were caught from the wild. The rest two studied are domesticated (家养的). The behavioral tests examined the birds’ problem solving, for instance, figuring out how to remove an object to access the food reward. The researchers also tested two other skills often associated with intelligence: learning by association, plus what’s called reversal (倒转的) learning, in which an animal adjusts its behavior to get a reward. They then looked at whether being vocal learners helped develop the three skills, comparing 21 bird species to two others which were non-vocal learners.
Jarvis’ new study provides some of the first evidence that vocal learning — one of the crucial components for a spoken language — is associated with problem solving. Vocal learning bird species could come up with innovative ideas, such as getting seeds, or catching a worm trapped under a cup by removing the obstacle or pulling it apart. All three abilities — problem solving, associative learning, and reversal learning — are typically considered “components of intelligence,” he says.
“One question left unanswered is why there’s such a strong relationship between problem-solving abilities and vocal learning. The brain areas in charge of vocal learning are not the same ones that get activated when we need to troubleshoot (分析解决) an issue,” says Michael Goldstein, a professor of psychology at Cornell University who studies vocal learning in songbirds and humans but was not involved in the study.
12. Which can probably define intelligence according to Paragraph 1
A. Language. B. Brain size.
C. Brain structure. D. Environment.
13. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Guarantee. B. Assumption.
C. Category. D. Distribution.
14. What are Paragraphs 3&4 mainly about
A. Habits of songbirds.
B. Methods of domesticating songbirds.
C. Outline of the study.
D. Three phases of displaying intelligence.
15. What may the text talk about next
A. The mechanism that bridges all the brain regions.
B. The functions of the brain areas that can troubleshoot issues.
C. The reasons why songbirds’ intelligence can not develop further.
D. The reasons why vocal learning influence problem-solving abilities.

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。
When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the day, the students streamed out of the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse.
The lift lobby (电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat’s lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled (蹒跚) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were silent for the rest of the ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里).
“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It had become a colourless mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening, but what other choice did I have Mrs Lim burst into tears. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosened her collar.
Paragraph 1: Several minutes passed, but no help came.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door.

I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road. I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.
I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds.
Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.
Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures.
4. How did the writer first respond to Paul’s travel plan
A. Scared. B. Puzzled.
C. Disappointed. D. Surprised.
5. What can we learn about Paul Salopek from paragraph 2
A. He was a western journalist. B. He had a knowledge of China.
C. He came to China several times. D. He was Joseph Rock’s acquaintance.
6. What does paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul
A. They honored the ancestors. B. They set off in high spirits.
C. They satisfied the locals’ curiosity. D. They built bonds with people.
7. What is the main purpose of the writer’s writing the text
A. To share and reflect on a journey. B. To suggest a new way of travel.
C. To advocate protection of biodiversity. D. To introduce and promote Chinese culture.

Like anyone else, I have social media personalities that I like to follow. I watch their Insta stories, YouTube videos and generally keep track of what they are up to by means of social media. These “celebrities (名人)” encourage me to pursue my dreams, and unlike my physical friends, are often more accessible — just a YouTube click away.
So when I found myself telling a story the other day to one of my friends at a cafe and then casually referring to one of these online personalities as “my friend”, I suddenly became aware of the blurred (模糊的) line between my physical and virtual social lives. I was retelling a YouTuber’ s story about how to practice appreciation as if it were my story to tell. The scary part is that it came so naturally that I had to pause and think twice about what had just come out of my mouth. How did I get to the point of referring to someone I had never actually spoken with as a “friend”
Between trying to make a living and maintaining social relationships, it has become especially easy for millennials (those born between the early 1980s and 1990s) to turn to artificial social closeness to meet their basic human needs for social interactions. So how do we really know who our friends are in a world where the term “friend” seems so blurred Is it right to call someone a friend who you’ ve never spoken with in real life
Sometimes I worry that my online friendships are taking away the time I could be spending forming meaningful relationships in real life. In an article in Psychology Today, Alex Pattakos claims that our quest to create more and more friends through popular social media platforms has led to us feeling more disconnected in reality. His research states that we can only maintain around 150 real friendships and the desire to have more connections leads to emotional attachments to online celebrities, referred to as parasocial interactions, and consequently detachment (分离) from our real life connections.
Do you make a distinction between your online and offline “friends” If so, how
8. What does the author think of his real-life friends
A. They are more difficult to reach.
B. They often cause him much trouble.
C. They are fond of following “celebrities”.
D. They mostly lack interest in social media.
9. Which of the following puzzled the author
A. The definition of physical friends.
B. Some phrases used in online language.
C. The proper way to practice appreciation online.
D. The distinction between physical and online friends.
10. What can we infer about “millennials” from paragraph 3
A. They are skillful in AI technology.
B. They have great difficulty making a living.
C. They are eager to seek online friendships.
D. They rarely build firm social relationships.
11. What’s the author’s attitude to online friendships
A Casual. B. Opposed. C. Supportive. D. Ambiguous.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了如今我们线上与线下朋友之间的界限越来越模糊。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“and unlike my physical friends, are often more accessible — just a YouTube click away.(与我的亲朋好友不同，他们通常更易于访问——只需点击YouTube即可)”可知，作者认为，与现实世界真实的朋友相比，社交媒体上结识的朋友“触手可及”，很容易随时联系到。故选A。

What does it mean to be intelligent If it’s defined by having the biggest brain, then sperm whales (抹香鲸) — whose brain is 20 pounds — would be the brightest creatures on Earth. But, more likely, it’s how a brain is wired. Viewed in this way, intelligence is what gives an organism the best chance to survive in an environment. Language may be one of the best ways to demonstrate that kind of smarts.
“Language allowing humans to be a more advanced species is a hypothesis that somebody came up with one day without really trying to prove it,” says Erich Jarvis, a professor who studies the neuro-biology of vocal learning. “The idea stuck around, but so have other common beliefs that are not really supported with evidence,” he points out.
To get a better grasp of vocal learning and cognition, the study authors turned to songbirds. The team performed seven cognitive experiments on 214 songbirds from 23 different species. Of these, 21 species were caught from the wild. The rest two studied are domesticated (家养的). The behavioral tests examined the birds’ problem solving, for instance, figuring out how to remove an object to access the food reward. The researchers also tested two other skills often associated with intelligence: learning by association, plus what’s called reversal (倒转的) learning, in which an animal adjusts its behavior to get a reward. They then looked at whether being vocal learners helped develop the three skills, comparing 21 bird species to two others which were non-vocal learners.
Jarvis’ new study provides some of the first evidence that vocal learning — one of the crucial components for a spoken language — is associated with problem solving. Vocal learning bird species could come up with innovative ideas, such as getting seeds, or catching a worm trapped under a cup by removing the obstacle or pulling it apart. All three abilities — problem solving, associative learning, and reversal learning — are typically considered “components of intelligence,” he says.
“One question left unanswered is why there’s such a strong relationship between problem-solving abilities and vocal learning. The brain areas in charge of vocal learning are not the same ones that get activated when we need to troubleshoot (分析解决) an issue,” says Michael Goldstein, a professor of psychology at Cornell University who studies vocal learning in songbirds and humans but was not involved in the study.
12. Which can probably define intelligence according to Paragraph 1
A. Language. B. Brain size.
C. Brain structure. D. Environment.
13. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Guarantee. B. Assumption.
C. Category. D. Distribution.
14. What are Paragraphs 3&4 mainly about
A. Habits of songbirds.
B. Methods of domesticating songbirds.
C. Outline of the study.
D. Three phases of displaying intelligence.
15. What may the text talk about next
A. The mechanism that bridges all the brain regions.
B. The functions of the brain areas that can troubleshoot issues.
C. The reasons why songbirds’ intelligence can not develop further.
D. The reasons why vocal learning influence problem-solving abilities.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了湘菜和川菜的不同，以及怎样被介绍到美国的。
【36题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：这种困惑源于湘菜是如何被介绍给美国公众的。根据句意可知，空处描述过去的事情，应用一般过去时。介词in后为how引导的宾语从句，动词introduce与名词food之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。故填was introduced。
【37题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：据中国美食博客Red Cook的作者Kian Lam Kho说，据说1945年有一群中国厨师接受过湘菜和川菜的培训。be said to do sth.“据说”为固定搭配，根据句意可知，动作已经发生，应用动词不定式的完成式，也可用动词不定式完成式的被动语态。故填to have trained/to have been trained。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：后来，当他们在美国寻找机会时，他们把湘菜和川菜带到了纽约，在那里，这两种烹饪风格都经过了调整，以适应当地的口味。根据brought可知，空处描述过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填sought。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：后来，当他们在美国寻找机会时，他们把湖南菜和四川菜带到了纽约，在那里，这两种烹饪风格都经过了调整，以适应当地的口味。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是New York，表示地点的名词，应用where引导定语从句，关系词在从句中作地点状语。或者空处用and，连接前后两句话，表示并列。故填where/and。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：正如Kho所说，这两种菜系提供了不同的味道。as sb. put it“正如某人所说”为固定搭配。故填it。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：川菜的特点是使用花椒粒，它提供一种独特的麻的感觉。此处feeling为可数名词单数，应用不定冠词表泛指，所连接的单词unique的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：另一方面，湘菜以其大胆和辛辣的口味而闻名，它的特点是将新鲜的辣椒和大蒜结合在一起，创造出强烈的辛辣味道。根据the和of fresh chilies (辣椒) and garlic可知，空处应用名词combination(不可数)，作宾语。故填combination。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：与川菜不同，湘菜通常不包括四川胡椒的麻木感。根据句意可知，此处应用表示“与……不同”的介词unlike，句首单词首字母应大写。故填Unlike。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：与令人困惑的四川菜相比，湖南菜是怎样独特的令人惊讶。根据句意可知，空处应用连词how引导主语从句。故填how。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：在菜单或食谱中忠实地捕捉湖南风味的餐馆或食谱真的很值得一找。修饰动词capture应用副词。故填faithfully。

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。
When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the day, the students streamed out of the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse.
The lift lobby (电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat’s lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled (蹒跚) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were silent for the rest of the ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里).
“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It had become a colourless mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening, but what other choice did I have Mrs Lim burst into tears. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosened her collar.
Paragraph 1: Several minutes passed, but no help came.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Several minutes passed, but no help came. The air inside the lift grew stale, and panic started to set in. Mrs Lim's condition was worsening, and I felt a sense of helplessness creeping over me. I tried to stay calm and think of a way out, but the situation seemed dire. The silence was deafening, broken only by Mrs Lim’s labored breathing and occasional sobs. Time seemed to stretch on endlessly as we waited for a miracle.
Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door. Relief flooded through me as I realized help had finally arrived. The sound of tools clanging against the door signaled their efforts to rescue us. Moments later, the door was pried open, and fresh air rushed in. We were safe. Mrs Lim was quickly attended to by the paramedics, and I was filled with gratitude for their swift response. As we were escorted out of the lift, I couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of appreciation for the fragility of life and the importance of helping others in times of need.
【解析】
【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开，主要描述了主人公放学后和邻居Mrs Lim乘坐电梯时突然电梯失去了控制，发出各种异样的声响，最终在五楼突然停下来，导致两人被困在其中。Mrs Lim的情绪逐渐失控，主人公尽力安抚Mrs Lim的恐慌情绪并帮助她解开衣领使呼吸顺畅，同时努力寻找解决困境的办法。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“几分钟过去了，但没有人来帮忙。”可知，第一段可描写随着时间的流逝，没有人来帮忙，我开始紧张起来，林女士的状况开始变遭，我想办法脱身但做不到，我们焦急地等待救援的相关细节。
②由第二段首句内容“砰!当我听到消防队员在电梯门的另一边时，我的希望到来了。”可知，第二段可描写当消防队员到来展开救援时我如释重负的心情，门被打开后，我们安全得救，林女士得到医护人员的救助，我对消防队员的迅速救援充满了感激之情的相关细节。
2.续写线索：电梯内的气氛开始紧张——林女士的状况不好——我极度焦虑——等待救援————消防队员赶到—— 我感到放松——安全获救——感悟
