“Her Education, Our Future” is a documentary film produced by CGTN in partnership with UNESCO. It tells the story of four girls on three continents. All the girls have been involved in UNESCO programmes aimed at widening their access to education, enhancing their skills for life and work, and expanding their educational and career opportunities.
Anee is from Gilgit-Baltistan, a remote area in the north of Pakistan. She dropped out of school as her parents couldn’t afford her education — only that of her brothers. Her father also didn’t believe that girls should be educated but rather stay home and help their mothers. Anee was reached out to through UNESCO’s Girls’Right to Education programme, originally funded by the Government of Pakistan with additional support from Italy, Korea, Norway and the Qatar Foundation, which is UNESCO’s largest programme on girls’ education, and has covered 19 of Pakistan’s most isolated districts. UNESCO assisted Anee’s family to overcome the financial barriers to her education. Her parents have re-enrolled her in school, and are supporting her to continue her education.
Mkasi is from Pemba, a Tanzanian island. Mkasi is the sixth of eleven children. She left school in 2014, as she didn’t score well enough on her exams to continue to high school. Mkasi was connected by a District Social Welfare Officer to a UNESCO program, funded by Korea. She enrolled into a community-based entrepreneurship (企业家职能) and alternative (可供选择的) education programme supported by UNESCO that enabled her to gain new vocational (职业的) skills. She now works as a seamstress (裁缝), and makes handicrafts and soap which she sells at the market. Economically independent now, She wants to become a designer and to open a clothing store — the first in her area — and sell her soap locally and abroad.
Fabiana and Taina are from Brazil. They both have a keen interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education but have faced different barriers to pursuing (追求) studies in these fields. Fabiana must rise at four every morning to go to school on a road which is bothered with robberies targeting students and passengers. Taina has faced racism and discrimination, and went through a rebellious phase (叛逆阶段) in her teenage years which took her away from her studies and down a harmful path before finding her way back. Both have been engaged in UNESCO’s EDUCASTEM2030 programme, which aims to close gender gaps in STEM education. Through this initiative (倡议), Fabiana and Taina have expanded their skills and gained confidence in their abilities. Fabiana has a full scholarship to study production engineering in the Fall — the same studies that Taina is currently pursuing. Tania is also a student leader now, sharing her own story and building more pathways for girls in STEM in Brazil.

It is a small step for a plant, and a giant leap for plant kind. A sprouting (发芽) cotton seed on China’s Chang’e-4 lunar lander is the first plant ever to grow in another world, indicating a new era for life in space.
Seeds, including cotton, arabidopsis (拟南芥), oilseed rape (油菜) and potato were carried to the Moon as a part of biological experiment, along with fruit fly eggs and some yeasts (酵母).
Pictures sent back by the probe show the cotton seeds sprouting on January 7, 2019, a few days after Chang’e-4 landed on the far side of the Moon.
The organisms (生物) are in a sealed can, protected from the extreme temperatures and radiation on the surface. “Understanding how to grow plants in space will help lay the foundation for human settlement on the Moon,” a scientist leading the experiment told the South China Morning Post.
The six organisms are intended to form a mini-ecosystem, with the plants making oxygen and food to sustain the fruit flies. Yeasts could process the flies’ waste and dead plants to provide another food source.
In a future human settlement, potatoes could provide food, rapeseed could be a source of oil and cotton could be used for clothing. A study in 2014 reported that plants could sprout and grow in lunar soil for 50 days without any additional nutrients (营养物). Over longer periods, human waste could help support plants’ nutritional needs.
These lunar green shoots aren’t the first plants in space. Astronauts on the International Space Station have grown crops including peas, radishes and cucumbers. They got their first bites of space-grown romaine lettuce in 2015.
The China National Space Administration eventually hopes to put humans on the Moon. “We are studying the program of sending astronauts to the Moon, but it’s still in very early stages,” a deputy director told the South China Morning Post. “We haven’t got the approval yet.”
28.When might Chang’e-4 land on the far side of the Moon
A.On January 7, 2019. B.On January 3, 2019.
C.On February 28, 2014. D.On February 3, 2015.
29.What is the benefit of growing plants on the Moon
A.It helps scientists understand the ecosystem in space.
B.It helps people living on the Moon feed themselves.
C.It helps support plants’ nutritional needs in space.
D.It helps set the basis for establishing settlements on the Moon.
30.What can we learn from the passage
A.Oxygen created by plants provides a food source.
B.The purpose of these organisms is to form a small ecosystem.
C.The yeast hardly plays a role in dealing with fruit flies’ waste.
D.The organisms can resist extreme heat and cold in the environment.
31.Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A.Living on the Moon
B.Flying to the Moon
C.Garden on Moon’s Far Side
D.Human Settlement on Moon’s Far Side
Who needs friends According to most psychologists we all do, especially nowadays when so many other aspects of modern life are changing. It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.
The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us. Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends, instead of our families, for advice and comfort. One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend.
Since our friends mean so much to us, it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. “Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed, it is friendship that holds people together,” says Rowe. If the couple do not make some changes. They will either get tired of each other and break up or stay together and look for friendship with others.
For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friends. Men share time building a business or playing football together, but they don’t often share their feeling. Although many women find their relationship with a husband or boyfriend is not enough, many men say that their partner is their best friend. Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the break-up of a close friendship as painful as the end of a marriage.
Lasting friendships can provide a lot of the same support that families provided in the past, but the perfect situation is to have your family there for you as well. Friendships and family relationships can both change, but a friend will not consider you when making really important decisions in the same way that a family member will.
32.The example of Rebecca in paragraph 2 shows that some people think ________.
A.one friend is more than enough. B.friends are just like their family.
C.friends matter more than family. D.friends make them more comfortable.
33.What can we learn from the passage
A.Couples tend to be friends in a good marriage.
B.Couples will have new friendship after they get married.
C.Friendship help couples build healthy relationships.
D.Friendship hold couples together when romance has passed.
34.What is the main difference between men’s and women’s friendship
A.Women often do things together with friends.
B.Men seldom talk to their friends about their feelings.
C.Women often talk about business with friends.
D.Men often talk to their friends about work and family.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Friendship cannot replace family relationships.
B.Friendship can last longer than family relationships.
C.Friendship and family relationships are both changeable.
D.Family members help you make better decisions than friends do.
The item of traditional tea processing techniques and social practices in China was added to the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO in November, 2022. 36 The item consists of knowledge, skills, and practices concerning the management of tea plantations, picking of tea leaves, manual processing, drinking, and sharing of tea.
China’s traditional tea processing techniques are mainly concentrated in four tea-growing areas, namely South and North of the Yangtze River, and Southwest and South China. 37 On average, each person consumes about 0.57 kg of tea leaves a year. Multiply that by its 1.4 billion population, and you can imagine that’s a lot of tea.
38 The gongfu tea in Chaozhou City in South China shows a complete form of Chinese tea ceremony with its procedure made up of 21 brewing (沏茶) techniques. The three-course tea of the Bai ethnic minority need to be personally served by the most prestigious (有威望的) elders in the family. When people of the Yao ethnic minority treat guests, local women make oil tea and sing folk songs by the fireplace.
39 Thousands of years ago, there were the Tea Horse Road and The Great Tea Road to serve the trade of tea. Nowadays, the villagers have developed a tea industry and sell related products overseas. They have also developed tea-based tourism, which also boosts rural development.
China is the hometown of tea, and the inclusion of the Chinese tea into the world cultural intangible heritage list will help build the cultural foundation for a community with a shared future for mankind. 40
A.Tea-drinking is considered to be an important part of Chinese culture.
B.Promoted by tea culture, China’s tea industry is also developing rapidly.
C.It has become the 43rd Chinese item on the intangible cultural heritage list.
D.China is not only the largest producer of tea, but also the largest consumer.
E.The practice of making friends through tea-related activities is very common in China.
F.It will also help the world deepen its understanding of the fine traditional Chinese culture.
G.There are over 2,000 kinds of tea for people to drink in China, thus forming different customs.

Lilly was on her way to meet friends when she noticed an older woman struggling to navigate the railroad tracks in a wheelchair. Her efforts were clearly hindered by the uneven surface and the weight of the chair, and she appeared to be making little progress. Without hesitation, Lilly jumped out of her car and rushed over to assist. However, their attempts failed as both Lilly and the elderly woman fell twice, struggling to get out of harm’s way.
As they scrambled (爬) to their feet, a deafening horn (喇叭) blast rent the air, followed by the blinding flash of lights. A train was barreling down the tracks, its approach growing ever more urgent.
“He was honking his horn and the lights started flashing,” Lilly recalled, her voice trembling as she spoke. “I was like, ‘Oh no, we gotta go now!’”
With adrenaline (肾上腺素) pumping through her veins, Lilly summoned all her strength and managed to pull both herself and the elderly woman to safety just second s before the train thundered past. The narrow escape left her shaken to the core, her heart pounding in her chest.
“It’s a near-death experience,” she said, her voice breaking. “And I’ve never really been that close to death before.” The railroad company later informed her that they had been mere inches away from being struck by the train, a revelation that sent shivers down her spine.
Ardmore Police Chief Jereme Robison, who was called to the scene, recounted the incident to WKRN with a mixture of amazement and relief. “She barely gets herself out of the way, and the train actually still clips the lady’s leg and spins her around,” he said. “I mean, it was like a split second. They almost died.”

【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个为高中生提供的收费低廉的海外志愿者项目。
【解析】21.推理判断题。根据文章Volunteer in Peru部分中“Many kinds of popular Peru volunteer programs are provided, including Teaching, Animal Care. Medical and Amazon Jungle Conservation (保护). (提供了许多受欢迎的秘鲁志愿者项目,包括教学、动物护理。医疗和亚马逊丛林保护)”和Volunteer in Bali部分中“Bali volunteer programs include Teaching, Childcare, Environmental Education and Health Education. (巴厘岛的志愿者项目包括教学、儿童保育、环境教育和健康教育)”可知,这两个志愿者项目都包括教学和护理。故选B。

23.推理判断题。根据文章Volunteer in Croatia部分中“Choose from a wide range of trusted Croatia volunteer programs, including Youth Support, Special Needs Support (for people with mental or physical problems), Animal Care and Marine Conservation. (你可以从众多值得信赖的克罗地亚志愿者项目中选择,包括青年支持、特殊需求支持(针对有精神或身体问题的人)、动物护理和海洋保护)”可知,Volunteer in Croatia包括特殊需求支持,可能适合希望为残疾人提供支持的志愿者。故选D。
【答案】24.D 25.B 26.C 27.B
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述一部由CGTN和UNESCO联合制作的一部纪录片,讲述了四个女孩在UNESCO的项目的帮助下接受了教育,改变了命运的故事。

25.词义猜测。根据第二段中“She dropped out of school as her parents couldn’t afford her education — only that of her brothers.(她辍学了,因为她的父母无力承担她的教育费用——只有她的兄弟们能负担得起教育费用)”和“UNESCO assisted Anee’s family to overcome the financial barriers to her education.(教科文组织帮助安妮的家人克服了她接受教育的经济障碍。)”以及划线单词下文“and are supporting her to continue her education.(并支持她继续学业)”可知,Anee由于家庭经济原因早年辍学,后经UNESCO一个项目的帮助下重返校园,由此可推知,为了支持她继续学业,父亲让她重新入学,划线单词re-enrolled意为“重新注册”,与B项“re-registered(重新注册)”意思一样。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“They both have a keen interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education but have faced different barriers to pursuing studies in these fields.(他们都对科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教育有着浓厚的兴趣,但在这些领域的学习中面临着不同的障碍)”可知,Fabiana和Taina在求学路上面临的是不一样的障碍,故选C。

29.细节理解题。根据第四段“The organisms (生物) are in a sealed can, protected from the extreme temperatures and radiation on the surface. “Understanding how to grow plants in space will help lay the foundation for human settlement on the Moon,” a scientist leading the experiment told the South China Morning Post.(这些生物被放在一个密封的罐子里,免受表面极端温度和辐射的影响。‘了解如何在太空中种植植物将有助于为人类在月球上定居奠定基础,’领导该实验的一名科学家告诉《南华早报》)”可知,在月球上种植植物有助于为在月球上建立定居点奠定基础。故选D项。
30.细节理解题。根据第五段中“The six organisms are intended to form a mini-ecosystem, with the plants making oxygen and food to sustain the fruit flies.(这六种生物旨在形成一个微型生态系统,植物制造氧气和食物来维持果蝇)”可知,这些生物的目的是形成一个小的生态系统。故选B项。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“A sprouting (发芽) cotton seed on China’s Chang’e-4 lunar lander is the first plant ever to grow in another world, indicating a new era for life in space.(中国“嫦娥四号”月球着陆器上一颗正在发芽的棉籽是有史以来第一颗在另一个世界生长的植物,标志着太空生命的新时代的到来)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要介绍了“嫦娥四号”携带植物种子在月球上进行种植相关试验,最终棉花种子成功发芽,所以C项“Garden on Moon’s Far Side(月球背面的花园)”符合文章主旨,适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。
【答案】32.C 33.A 34.B 35.A
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了朋友的重要性。
【解析】32.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends, instead of our families, for advice and comfort. (心理学家Dorothy Rowe说,我们中的许多人现在向朋友而不是家人寻求建议和安慰。)”讲述了许多人寻求建议和安慰时会选择朋友,而不是家人,接着讲述了Rebecca在采访中表达“if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend (如果她必须在丈夫和朋友之间做出选择,她会选择她的朋友)”这种想法,她在选择丈夫和朋友的问题上会选择朋友,由此可推测出,有些人认为朋友比家人更重要。故选C。
33.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed, it is friendship that holds people together (一旦一段关系的浪漫阶段过去,友谊就会把人们维系在一起)”可推知,婚姻中夫妻两人做彼此的朋友是婚姻长久之道。故选A。
34.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friends. Men share time building a business or playing football together, but they don’t often share their feeling. (对于男人来说,友谊通常是建立在一起做事的基础上,而不是女性朋友典型的私人对话。男人们共享时间一起创业或踢足球,但他们并不经常分享自己的感受。)”可知,男性的友谊基于共事,不太经常分享个人情感。故选B。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Lasting friendships can provide a lot of the same support that families provided in the past, but the perfect situation is to have your family there for you as well. (持久的友谊可以提供很多与过去家庭相同的支持,但最好的情况是有家人在身边。)”可知,虽然朋友能够提供家庭般的支持,但家人最好也能在身边提供支持,由此可推知,友谊不能完全取代家庭关系。故选A。

Multiply that by its 1.4 billion population, and you can imagine that’s a lot of tea.(平均每人每年消耗约0.57公斤茶叶。再乘以它的14亿人口,你可以想象这是很多茶。)”可知,设空处很可能承接下文谈论中国人喝茶很多,所以D项“China is not only the largest producer of tea, but also the largest consumer.(中国不仅是最大的茶叶生产国,也是最大的消费国。)”符合语境,且起到了承上启下的作用。故选D项。
38.分析设空,位于句首,为本段中心句,根据后文“The gongfu tea in Chaozhou City in South China shows a complete form of Chinese tea ceremony with its procedure made up of 21 brewing (沏茶) techniques. The three-course tea of the Bai ethnic minority need to be personally served by the most prestigious (有威望的) elders in the family. When people of the Yao ethnic minority treat guests, local women make oil tea and sing folk songs by the fireplace.(中国南方潮州的功夫茶展示了一种完整的中国茶道形式,其过程由21种冲泡技术组成。白族的三道茶需要由家中最有声望的长辈亲自上菜。瑶族人款待客人时,当地妇女会在壁炉旁制作油茶,唱民歌)”可知,本段主要讲述了潮州、白族和瑶族与茶相关的不同习俗;G项“There are over 2,000 kinds of tea for people to drink in China, thus forming different customs.(中国有2000多种茶供人们饮用,从而形成了不同的习俗。)”能够概括本段主旨,适合作为本段中心句。故选G项。

Nowadays, the villagers have developed a tea industry and sell related products overseas. They have also developed tea-based tourism, which also boosts rural development.(几千年前,就有茶马之路和茶大之路,为茶叶贸易服务。如今,村民们发展了茶业,并将相关产品销往海外。他们还开发了以茶为基础的旅游业,这也促进了农村的发展)”可知,本段阐述中国的茶产业发展情况;B项“Promoted by tea culture, China’s tea industry is also developing rapidly.(在茶文化的推动下,中国的茶业也在迅速发展)”能够概括本段主旨,适合作为本段中心句。故选B项。
40.分析设空,位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“China is the hometown of tea, and the inclusion of the Chinese tea into the world cultural intangible heritage list will help build the cultural foundation for a community with a shared future for mankind.(中国是茶之乡,将中国茶列入世界非物质文化遗产名录,将为构建人类命运共同体奠定文化基础)”可知,本段讲述了申遗成功对世界的积极影响,所以F项“It will also help the world deepen its understanding of the fine traditional Chinese culture.(这也将有助于世界加深对中国优秀传统文化的了解)”符合语境,且此选项中will also help与设空前的will help衔接紧密。故选F项。

【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。研究发现,打太极可以帮助人们减缓认知能力下降,预防痴呆症。
【解析】56.考查冠词。句意:根据一项新的研究,太极,一种缓慢的武术形式,可以帮助减缓认知能力下降,防止痴呆症。“slow-moving form of martial arts”是前面的“tai chi”的同位语,太极是一种动作缓慢的武术,为泛指意义,所以填不定冠词,slow是以辅音音素开头的单词,故填a。
57.考查动词的时态。句意:研究发现,每周练两次简易太极拳,持续约六个月的人,在一项名为蒙特利尔认知能力评估的测试中得分有所提高。本句是叙述过去的事情,后面的动词“practiced”和“improved”也是一般过去时态,所以这里find应该用一般过去时,故填found。
58.考查非谓语动词。句意:研究发现,每周练两次简易太极拳,持续约六个月的人,在一项名为蒙特利尔认知能力评估的测试中得分有所提高。call与前面被修饰的名词test是动宾关系,所以此处应该用过去分词作定语,意思是“被称为……”,故填called。
59.考查时间状语从句。句意:该研究的作者埃克斯特罗姆博士说,根据研究结果,“如果你能每周坚持打两到三天太极,你就能在患上痴呆症之前多活几年”。此处需要连词引导时间状语从句,表示“在患上痴呆症之前”,故填before。
60.考查形容词。句意:她认为太极拳之所以有效,是因为它结合了对动作的记忆,也就是所谓的形式,就像舞蹈编排一样。此处需要形容词作表语,需要的词义为“有效的”,故填effective。
61.考查名词。句意:她说,“所以,除了记忆部分之外你还得到了身体上的活动”。此空需要名词作动词get的宾语,需要的词义为“活动”,即activity,它在这里为单数意义,指身体得到了活动,故填activity。
62.考查非谓语动词。句意:玛丽从75岁开始练太极,她说练太极让她感觉踏实,让她释放压力。enable sb to do something:使某人能够做某事,故填to let。
63.考查介词。句意:她说,“我更有意识地一次只做一件事”。此处为固定短语at a time,意为“每次,一次”, 故填at。
64.考查名词的数。句意:许多研究表明,练习太极拳可以帮助老年人预防跌倒,改善平衡能力,对那些长期坚持定期练习的人来说,好处最大。空格后面的“have shown”提示此处需要名词作主语,空格前面的Many提示此空需要用名词的复数形式,故填studies。
65.考查定语从句。句意:许多研究表明,练习太极拳可以帮助老年人预防跌倒,改善平衡能力,对那些长期坚持定期练习的人来说,好处最大。此空需要连词引导定语从句并在定语从句中作主语,先行词是people,则用who或that引导定语从句,故填who或that。
