Travel all around the world and back again. That’s the goal of Hudson and Emily Crider of Lancaster, Pennsylvania — who are aiming to complete this challenge in the year 2024. The couple has so far visited about 120 countries since they began traveling internationally in 2020.
When Hudson’s father suddenly passed away from a heart attack, the pair felt more encouraged than ever to set out on a cross-country journey in January 2017. “My dad was a huge supporter of our trip,” said Hudson. “And that just made us realize how short life is and we want to make the most of each day. So we decided to do what we want at once.”
Despite there being a lot of work ahead, the couple is still really excited about the journey. Seeing each country has been fun, but meeting people and recognizing the kindness of others all around the world has been Emily’s biggest takeaway. “There are ups and downs, but we’ve found people are kind and caring no matter where we’ve gone,” Emily said. She told the story of an Uber driver in Saudi Arabia who kept saying sorry for not presenting them with a gift upon their arrival in his country.
The couple has been able to make their world travels possible by saving for four years before the trip. They’ve also made money for their trip by teaching English online and creating their own content to cover flights. “The most helpful thing about keeping costs low is planning everything out ahead of time, as well as staying in cheap hotels, eating street food and using public transportation,” said Hudson.
For others who are looking to see the world, Emily suggested starting small and enjoying different places in your home country. “Think of the stories you want to tell someday — and then go out and live them,” Emily said.
4. What did the loss of Hudson’s father influence Hudson and Emily to do
A. Accept the job offer in a foreign country.
B. Take action to achieve their dreams.
C. Invite more people to join their trip.
D. Take enough exercise to keep fit.
5. What has impressed the couple most on their journey
A. Having chances to attend meaningful cultural events.
B. Enjoying the beauty of natural landscapes.
C. Listening to foreigners’ moving stories.
D. Experiencing different people’s goodwill.
6. What does the fourth paragraph center on
A. How the couple affords their journey.
B. The importance of leading a simple lifestyle.
C. The couple’s tips on saving money in daily life.
D. How the couple stays safe while traveling abroad.
7. Which of the following may Emily agree with
A. Great hopes make great men. B. Learn to walk before you run.
C. Traveling light makes you travel far. D. All good things come to those who wait.
C
At lunchtime recently, Sha Jinyuan, 22, sent a WeChat message to her meal partner, or fandazi, asking, “What to eat ” After her partner replied with “don’t know”, Sha said, “Let’s just go! ”
Are these two people friends No, they are dazi, or activity partners for specific pursuits, such as playing games, taking classes, traveling, or hiking and camping. Dazi now refers to a new kind of social connection with the aim of pursuing shared interests, rather than developing lasting friendships.
Early last month, a study of 1,335 people conducted by China Youth Daily’s social survey center found that72.6% said they had one or more dazi. More than half of them said they go for meals with a dazi, while over 30% seek dazi for sports, travel, learning and playing games. More than 20% have dazi for shopping or walking their children.
The survey carried out last month found that young people seek dazi to share similar interests, to accompany them or share costs, expand their social circle, and to motivate, monitor and help one another. Some young people search for dazi because their lives are too fast-paced and their social circles too small.
Xu Kun, an expert at the 12355 hotline for youth psychological counseling (咨询) and legal aid in Dalian, said: “Young people enjoy doing things together. With less responsibility and pressure, the two people concerned get along more easily. “This is why young people these days are enthusiastic about fonning dazi circles,” Xu said.
“A dazi relationship not only meets young people’s social needs, but also reduces the basic costs in terms of time, energy and emotion required to keep a close relationship,” Xu added. In this new kind of relationship, less responsibility gives people more freedom, but may also cause some problems. After all, dazi circle is quite different from real friendship, as some experts pointed out.
8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To state a fact. B. To show a conversation.
C. To raise a question. D. To introduce the topic.
9. How does the author show us that dazi circle is very popular in paragraph 3
A. By telling stories. B. By showing data.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparison.
10. Why do young people seek dazi instead of lasting friendship nowadays
A. Because they have no time to find real friends.
B. Because their social circles are too small for them.
C. Because dazi requires less responsibility and offers more freedom.
D. Because dazi can give them a hand whenever they need help.
11. What will the author talk about next
A. How to turn dazi into real friends.
B. What problems dazi circles may bring about.
C. Whether this new relationship will last or not.
D. Why so many people prefer forming dazi circles.
D
Bumblebee (大黄蜂) populations have declined (下降) by 90 percent in the past 20 years. The decline of the bumblebees is highly concerning as they are significant for ecosystems. They pollinate (授粉) flowers and crops. If their populations were to continue to decline, crops would not be able to produce fruits and vegetables. Despite being small, they are important to nature’s balance.
And now, a new study published in the Frontiers in Bee Science has found that the rising heat caused by global warming might be a reason for the decrease in numbers across the globe. “The decline in populations and ranges of several species of bumblebees may be explained by issues of overheating of the nests,” Peter Kevan of the University of Guelph in Canada and lead author of the study said in a statement.
Kevan and his colleagues decided to take a closer look at the facts relating to bumblebee populations across the world. Kevan and the colleagues looked at 180 years of literature on the species and found one common reason across all bumblebee species that they can survive in temperatures up to 36 degrees Celsius, but the perfect temperature for nests is between 28 to 32 degrees Celsius. They are unlikely to be able to adjust themselves to the extent that rising temperatures due to climate change require, the study reports. While individual bees may be able to deal with increased heat better than others, the study notes that if nests are too hot, the groups will not survive.
“The effect of high nest temperatures has not been studied very much, which is surprising,” Kevan said. Similar studies have been done on honeybees (蜜蜂), another threatened yet highly important species. This suggests further that heat stress is a major factor in bees’ overall decline.
Although the studies led by Kevan have limitations, the potential effects for bumblebee health and conversation are large and long-term.
12. What do we know about bumblebees from paragraph 1
A. They have been extinct within decades in America.
B. Their populations have decreased a lot in the last two decades.
C. Americans are concerned about their living environment.
D. They tend to depend on flowers and crops to survive.
13. How did Kevan and his coworkers carry out the study
A. They raised bumblebees to observe them.
B. They focused on studying individual bumblebees.
C. They conducted experiments on bumblebees.
D. They studied literature on bumblebees.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward Kevan’s studies
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Big Results for Small Bumblebees
B. Bumblebees Protection Inspires Scientists
C. The Impact of Climate Change on Honeybees
D. Research Shows the Main Reason of Bumblebee Decline

Travel all around the world and back again. That’s the goal of Hudson and Emily Crider of Lancaster, Pennsylvania — who are aiming to complete this challenge in the year 2024. The couple has so far visited about 120 countries since they began traveling internationally in 2020.
When Hudson’s father suddenly passed away from a heart attack, the pair felt more encouraged than ever to set out on a cross-country journey in January 2017. “My dad was a huge supporter of our trip,” said Hudson. “And that just made us realize how short life is and we want to make the most of each day. So we decided to do what we want at once.”
Despite there being a lot of work ahead, the couple is still really excited about the journey. Seeing each country has been fun, but meeting people and recognizing the kindness of others all around the world has been Emily’s biggest takeaway. “There are ups and downs, but we’ve found people are kind and caring no matter where we’ve gone,” Emily said. She told the story of an Uber driver in Saudi Arabia who kept saying sorry for not presenting them with a gift upon their arrival in his country.
The couple has been able to make their world travels possible by saving for four years before the trip. They’ve also made money for their trip by teaching English online and creating their own content to cover flights. “The most helpful thing about keeping costs low is planning everything out ahead of time, as well as staying in cheap hotels, eating street food and using public transportation,” said Hudson.
For others who are looking to see the world, Emily suggested starting small and enjoying different places in your home country. “Think of the stories you want to tell someday — and then go out and live them,” Emily said.
4. What did the loss of Hudson’s father influence Hudson and Emily to do
A. Accept the job offer in a foreign country.
B. Take action to achieve their dreams.
C. Invite more people to join their trip.
D. Take enough exercise to keep fit.
5. What has impressed the couple most on their journey
A. Having chances to attend meaningful cultural events.
B. Enjoying the beauty of natural landscapes.
C. Listening to foreigners’ moving stories.
D. Experiencing different people’s goodwill.
6. What does the fourth paragraph center on
A. How the couple affords their journey.
B. The importance of leading a simple lifestyle.
C. The couple’s tips on saving money in daily life.
D. How the couple stays safe while traveling abroad.
7. Which of the following may Emily agree with
A. Great hopes make great men. B. Learn to walk before you run.
C. Traveling light makes you travel far. D. All good things come to those who wait.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B

At lunchtime recently, Sha Jinyuan, 22, sent a WeChat message to her meal partner, or fandazi, asking, “What to eat ” After her partner replied with “don’t know”, Sha said, “Let’s just go! ”
Are these two people friends No, they are dazi, or activity partners for specific pursuits, such as playing games, taking classes, traveling, or hiking and camping. Dazi now refers to a new kind of social connection with the aim of pursuing shared interests, rather than developing lasting friendships.
Early last month, a study of 1,335 people conducted by China Youth Daily’s social survey center found that72.6% said they had one or more dazi. More than half of them said they go for meals with a dazi, while over 30% seek dazi for sports, travel, learning and playing games. More than 20% have dazi for shopping or walking their children.
The survey carried out last month found that young people seek dazi to share similar interests, to accompany them or share costs, expand their social circle, and to motivate, monitor and help one another. Some young people search for dazi because their lives are too fast-paced and their social circles too small.
Xu Kun, an expert at the 12355 hotline for youth psychological counseling (咨询) and legal aid in Dalian, said: “Young people enjoy doing things together. With less responsibility and pressure, the two people concerned get along more easily. “This is why young people these days are enthusiastic about fonning dazi circles,” Xu said.
“A dazi relationship not only meets young people’s social needs, but also reduces the basic costs in terms of time, energy and emotion required to keep a close relationship,” Xu added. In this new kind of relationship, less responsibility gives people more freedom, but may also cause some problems. After all, dazi circle is quite different from real friendship, as some experts pointed out.
8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To state a fact. B. To show a conversation.
C. To raise a question. D. To introduce the topic.
9. How does the author show us that dazi circle is very popular in paragraph 3
A. By telling stories. B. By showing data.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparison.
10. Why do young people seek dazi instead of lasting friendship nowadays
A. Because they have no time to find real friends.
B. Because their social circles are too small for them.
C. Because dazi requires less responsibility and offers more freedom.
D. Because dazi can give them a hand whenever they need help.
11. What will the author talk about next
A. How to turn dazi into real friends.
B. What problems dazi circles may bring about.
C. Whether this new relationship will last or not.
D. Why so many people prefer forming dazi circles.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
D
Bumblebee (大黄蜂) populations have declined (下降) by 90 percent in the past 20 years. The decline of the bumblebees is highly concerning as they are significant for ecosystems. They pollinate (授粉) flowers and crops. If their populations were to continue to decline, crops would not be able to produce fruits and vegetables. Despite being small, they are important to nature’s balance.
And now, a new study published in the Frontiers in Bee Science has found that the rising heat caused by global warming might be a reason for the decrease in numbers across the globe. “The decline in populations and ranges of several species of bumblebees may be explained by issues of overheating of the nests,” Peter Kevan of the University of Guelph in Canada and lead author of the study said in a statement.
Kevan and his colleagues decided to take a closer look at the facts relating to bumblebee populations across the world. Kevan and the colleagues looked at 180 years of literature on the species and found one common reason across all bumblebee species that they can survive in temperatures up to 36 degrees Celsius, but the perfect temperature for nests is between 28 to 32 degrees Celsius. They are unlikely to be able to adjust themselves to the extent that rising temperatures due to climate change require, the study reports. While individual bees may be able to deal with increased heat better than others, the study notes that if nests are too hot, the groups will not survive.
“The effect of high nest temperatures has not been studied very much, which is surprising,” Kevan said. Similar studies have been done on honeybees (蜜蜂), another threatened yet highly important species. This suggests further that heat stress is a major factor in bees’ overall decline.
Although the studies led by Kevan have limitations, the potential effects for bumblebee health and conversation are large and long-term.
12. What do we know about bumblebees from paragraph 1
A. They have been extinct within decades in America.
B. Their populations have decreased a lot in the last two decades.
C. Americans are concerned about their living environment.
D They tend to depend on flowers and crops to survive.
13. How did Kevan and his coworkers carry out the study
A. They raised bumblebees to observe them.
B. They focused on studying individual bumblebees.
C. They conducted experiments on bumblebees.
D. They studied literature on bumblebees.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward Kevan’s studies
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Big Results for Small Bumblebees
B. Bumblebees Protection Inspires Scientists
C. The Impact of Climate Change on Honeybees
D. Research Shows the Main Reason of Bumblebee Decline
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D

【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：乔丹的技术令人印象深刻，但是他所表现出来的精神力量使他与众不同。形容词mental 修饰名词，作but之后的句子中主句的主语，因此空格处需要填名词。strength作为名词译为“力气，力量”为不可数名词。综上，故填strength。

【答案】It seemed as if the world were coming to an end!
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型，表语从句，虚拟语气和固定短语。“仿佛……”是固定句型It seems/seemed as if...，as if引导的是表语从句，整句话描述过去的事情，seem用过去式，“世界末日即将来临”是与事实相反的情况，“即将来临”用过去进行时表将来，虚拟语气中的be动词用were，“世界末日即将来临”也就是世界即将结束，“结束”是come to an end，“世界”是the world，因此整句话翻译为“It seemed as if the world were coming to an end”。故答案为It seemed as if the world were coming to an end!

Travel all around the world and back again. That’s the goal of Hudson and Emily Crider of Lancaster, Pennsylvania — who are aiming to complete this challenge in the year 2024. The couple has so far visited about 120 countries since they began traveling internationally in 2020.
When Hudson’s father suddenly passed away from a heart attack, the pair felt more encouraged than ever to set out on a cross-country journey in January 2017. “My dad was a huge supporter of our trip,” said Hudson. “And that just made us realize how short life is and we want to make the most of each day. So we decided to do what we want at once.”
Despite there being a lot of work ahead, the couple is still really excited about the journey. Seeing each country has been fun, but meeting people and recognizing the kindness of others all around the world has been Emily’s biggest takeaway. “There are ups and downs, but we’ve found people are kind and caring no matter where we’ve gone,” Emily said. She told the story of an Uber driver in Saudi Arabia who kept saying sorry for not presenting them with a gift upon their arrival in his country.
The couple has been able to make their world travels possible by saving for four years before the trip. They’ve also made money for their trip by teaching English online and creating their own content to cover flights. “The most helpful thing about keeping costs low is planning everything out ahead of time, as well as staying in cheap hotels, eating street food and using public transportation,” said Hudson.
For others who are looking to see the world, Emily suggested starting small and enjoying different places in your home country. “Think of the stories you want to tell someday — and then go out and live them,” Emily said.
4. What did the loss of Hudson’s father influence Hudson and Emily to do
A. Accept the job offer in a foreign country.
B. Take action to achieve their dreams.
C. Invite more people to join their trip.
D. Take enough exercise to keep fit.
5. What has impressed the couple most on their journey
A. Having chances to attend meaningful cultural events.
B. Enjoying the beauty of natural landscapes.
C. Listening to foreigners’ moving stories.

A. How the couple affords their journey.
B. The importance of leading a simple lifestyle.

D. How the couple stays safe while traveling abroad.

Are these two people friends No, they are dazi, or activity partners for specific pursuits, such as playing games, taking classes, traveling, or hiking and camping. Dazi now refers to a new kind of social connection with the aim of pursuing shared interests, rather than developing lasting friendships.
Early last month, a study of 1,335 people conducted by China Youth Daily’s social survey center found that72.6% said they had one or more dazi. More than half of them said they go for meals with a dazi, while over 30% seek dazi for sports, travel, learning and playing games. More than 20% have dazi for shopping or walking their children.
The survey carried out last month found that young people seek dazi to share similar interests, to accompany them or share costs, expand their social circle, and to motivate, monitor and help one another. Some young people search for dazi because their lives are too fast-paced and their social circles too small.
Xu Kun, an expert at the 12355 hotline for youth psychological counseling (咨询) and legal aid in Dalian, said: “Young people enjoy doing things together. With less responsibility and pressure, the two people concerned get along more easily. “This is why young people these days are enthusiastic about fonning dazi circles,” Xu said.
“A dazi relationship not only meets young people’s social needs, but also reduces the basic costs in terms of time, energy and emotion required to keep a close relationship,” Xu added. In this new kind of relationship, less responsibility gives people more freedom, but may also cause some problems. After all, dazi circle is quite different from real friendship, as some experts pointed out.
8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To state a fact. B. To show a conversation.
C. To raise a question. D. To introduce the topic.
9. How does the author show us that dazi circle is very popular in paragraph 3
A. By telling stories. B. By showing data.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparison.
10. Why do young people seek dazi instead of lasting friendship nowadays
A. Because they have no time to find real friends.
B. Because their social circles are too small for them.
C. Because dazi requires less responsibility and offers more freedom.
D. Because dazi can give them a hand whenever they need help.
11. What will the author talk about next
A. How to turn dazi into real friends.
B. What problems dazi circles may bring about.
C. Whether this new relationship will last or not.
D. Why so many people prefer forming dazi circles.
D
Bumblebee (大黄蜂) populations have declined (下降) by 90 percent in the past 20 years. The decline of the bumblebees is highly concerning as they are significant for ecosystems. They pollinate (授粉) flowers and crops. If their populations were to continue to decline, crops would not be able to produce fruits and vegetables. Despite being small, they are important to nature’s balance.
And now, a new study published in the Frontiers in Bee Science has found that the rising heat caused by global warming might be a reason for the decrease in numbers across the globe. “The decline in populations and ranges of several species of bumblebees may be explained by issues of overheating of the nests,” Peter Kevan of the University of Guelph in Canada and lead author of the study said in a statement.
Kevan and his colleagues decided to take a closer look at the facts relating to bumblebee populations across the world. Kevan and the colleagues looked at 180 years of literature on the species and found one common reason across all bumblebee species that they can survive in temperatures up to 36 degrees Celsius, but the perfect temperature for nests is between 28 to 32 degrees Celsius. They are unlikely to be able to adjust themselves to the extent that rising temperatures due to climate change require, the study reports. While individual bees may be able to deal with increased heat better than others, the study notes that if nests are too hot, the groups will not survive.
“The effect of high nest temperatures has not been studied very much, which is surprising,” Kevan said. Similar studies have been done on honeybees (蜜蜂), another threatened yet highly important species. This suggests further that heat stress is a major factor in bees’ overall decline.
Although the studies led by Kevan have limitations, the potential effects for bumblebee health and conversation are large and long-term.
12. What do we know about bumblebees from paragraph 1
A. They have been extinct within decades in America.
B. Their populations have decreased a lot in the last two decades.
C. Americans are concerned about their living environment.
D. They tend to depend on flowers and crops to survive.
13. How did Kevan and his coworkers carry out the study
A. They raised bumblebees to observe them.
B. They focused on studying individual bumblebees.
C. They conducted experiments on bumblebees.
D. They studied literature on bumblebees.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward Kevan’s studies
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Big Results for Small Bumblebees
B. Bumblebees Protection Inspires Scientists
C. The Impact of Climate Change on Honeybees
D. Research Shows the Main Reason of Bumblebee Decline

【答案】strength
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：乔丹的技术令人印象深刻，但是他所表现出来的精神力量使他与众不同。形容词mental 修饰名词，作but之后的句子中主句的主语，因此空格处需要填名词。strength作为名词译为“力气，力量”为不可数名词。综上，故填strength。

【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：我会为上大学或者将来的任何事情做好准备。此处在whatever引导的宾语从句中作谓语，主句用一般将来时，从句应用一般现在时表示将来，主语是whatever，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填comes。

【答案】whose
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这个奖将授予故事表现出最丰富想象力的作家。此处为定语从句修饰先行词writer，且先行词在从句中作定语，故应用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。

57. Everywhere survivors looked, there was nothing but ruins. (英译汉)
【答案】幸存者目及之处无一不是废墟，万物尽毁。

【答案】我会找到一个让自己提高球技的方法，这样明年我就能加入球队了。
【解析】

60. 仿佛世界末日即将来临！(汉译英)
【答案】It seemed as if the world were coming to an end!
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型，表语从句，虚拟语气和固定短语。“仿佛……”是固定句型It seems/seemed as if...，as if引导的是表语从句，整句话描述过去的事情，seem用过去式，“世界末日即将来临”是与事实相反的情况，“即将来临”用过去进行时表将来，虚拟语气中的be动词用were，“世界末日即将来临”也就是世界即将结束，“结束”是come to an end，“世界”是the world，因此整句话翻译为“It seemed as if the world were coming to an end”。故答案为It seemed as if the world were coming to an end!

To raise our awareness of the importance of fitness, a “Sports and Fitness Week” was organized in our school last week, in which all the students took an active part.
Some girls, who normally have no interest in any sports, played skip rope and had great fun. Some students practiced dancing, boosting their confidence at the same time. What was most exciting was the football match, before which players made full preparations.
All the participants benefited a lot from the activity, both physically and mentally. They all expressed a firm belief that they would continue working out regularly to build up their body.
