Few people would even think of beginning a new job at the age of 76, but one of America's most famous artists did just that. Anna Mary Robertson, better known as “Grandma Moses”， turned to painting because she was too old to work on her farm.
Grandma Moses painted carefully and her works were nice. She first painted only to enjoy herself，and then began to sell her works for a little money. In 1939，a collector，Louis Caldor happened to see several of Grandma Moses' works hanging in a shop. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more. Caldor held a show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to other artists.
Grandma Moses died on December 13th, 1961, at the age of 101. She was world－famous.

Ivet Curbelo was born and raised in Sant Clara, a small Cuban (古巴的) city of about half a million people. Later, she moved to Havana to continue her studies and played in popular Cuban bands.
A special musical journey has taken Curbelo onto Chinese stages offering Chinese audiences nationwide a chance to enjoy her music. The opportunity presented itself with the opening of the first Argentine restaurant in Shanghai. The owners were looking to set their customers' dining experience to a dynamic (充满活力的) music and traveled to Cuba in search of a band that would fit the bill. “I hesitated in the beginning because I didn't think there was room for Latino (拉美) culture in a country with so much traditional culture in China，” Curbelo admitted, quickly adding, “but the proposal to be a violinist in a traditional Cuban group seemed like a fantastic opportunity to get to know this beautiful country. So I came to China at last.”
This musical journey took her all across China—touring, recording and even producing music for famous bands. Among her most unforgettable moments, Curbelo listed the opening of the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, where she had the opportunity to share the stage with the famous Italian musician Andrea Bocelli and most of the foreign artists based in Shanghai.
A musician's week is never normal. In addition to a busy schedule, each day differs from the last. There are weeks with meetings during the day and a show that same night. And there are those times when demand is low, giving her more time to record or visit the shows of fellow musicians.
Curbelo now not only sings in her native Spanish, but also in other languages, including standard Chinese. “I sing in several languages because I have projects of different styles; singing in Chinese is always the most difficult but it brings me much satisfaction. Besides, I have a better understanding of Chinese traditional culture，” Curbelo said.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了生于古巴的音乐人Ivet Curbelo利用上海的一个饭店招音乐人的机会来到了中国，从此她在中国开启了自己的音乐之旅。
24．Why did Curbelo hesitate before coming to China？(　　)
A．She couldn't speak Chinese very well.
B．She didn't have confidence in her performance.
C．She worried Latino culture might not be accepted.
D．She didn't know much about Chinese traditional culture.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中Curbelo所说的话“I hesitated in the beginning because I didn't think there was room for Latino (拉美) culture in a country with so much traditional culture in China”可知，Ivet Curbelo最开始犹豫是因为她担心拉美文化不被接受。
25．Which can best describe Curbelo's musical journey？(　　)
A．Time-wasting. B．Regretful.
C．Money-earning. D．Memorable.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段可知，Curbelo的音乐之旅非常丰富精彩，其中上海世博会开幕式上的演出令她非常难忘。由此推知，她的音乐之旅是令人难忘的。
26．What does Curbelo often do when she has more free time？(　　)
A．Enjoy other musicians' shows.
B．Attend meetings.
C．Visit famous musicians.
D．Make her schedules.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“And there are those times when demand is low, giving her more time to record or visit the shows of fellow musicians.”可知，有更多自由时间的时候，Curbelo会经常去欣赏其他音乐家的演出。
27．What does Curbelo think of her singing in Chinese？(　　)
A．It is her favorite style.
B．It is hard to understand.
C．It is much rewarding.
D．It is popular worldwide.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中Curbelo所说的话“singing in Chinese is always the most difficult but it brings me much satisfaction. Besides, I have a better understanding of Chinese traditional culture”可知，虽然用中文唱歌很难，但是这给Curbelo带来了满足感和对中国传统文化的了解。由此推知，她会认为用中文唱歌非常有意义(rewarding)。
C
Many people dream of going into space, but until recently only professional astronauts had that privilege. However, that all changed with successful first missions for several space tourism companies.
First off the runway, in early July，2021, was Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic company. Its spaceship, called VSS Unity, took four passengers and two pilots on a trip to the edge of space, where they experienced weightlessness and saw the Earth from above.
VSS Unity has a fully reusable design—it is carried to a height of 9.5 miles under a larger “mothership” plane called Eve. It is then released before firing its own rockets to reach its maximum height of 53 miles. As it begins to fall, its wings turn around so that it floats down slowly like a shuttlecock (羽毛球) before levelling out and flying back to land like a normal aeroplane. Virgin Galactic hopes to begin regular flights in 2023.
Less than two weeks later, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' New Shepard rocket made its first flight, launching a space capsule with four passengers to an altitude of 66 miles. Among those on board were Bezos himself and 82-year-old Wally Funk, a pioneering female pilot who trained for NASA's Mercury programme in the early 1960s but had waited 60 years for her chance to go into space. Funk became the oldest person to fly in space but only held that record until October, when 90-year-old actor William Shatner flew on the second New Shepard launch. Shatner played Captain Kirk in the Star Trek TV series and films.
In September, the Inspiration 4 mission carried four ordinary people into orbit around Earth. The launch was the first private passenger flight for Elon Musk's SpaceX company, using a Dragon spacecraft that is also used for NASA missions. Designed to raise awareness and funds for St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, US, the mission was paid for by billionaire Jared Isaacman. He was joined on the three-day flight by medical researcher Hayley Arceneaux, competition winner Dr Sian Proctor and hospital supporter Chris Sembroski.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了几家太空旅游公司成功完成了首批将除了职业宇航员外的其他人送入太空的任务。
28．What can we know about VSS Unity？(　　)
A．It can be used several times.
B．It has started normal flights.
C．It takes off from the ground.
D．It touches down like a shuttlecock.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“VSS Unity has a fully reusable design”可知，Unity可以重复使用。故选A。
29．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 3？(　　)
A．Eve. B．A shuttlecock.
C．An aeroplane. D．VSS Unity.
答案：D
解析：代词指代题。根据第三段画线词上文“VSS Unity has a fully reusable design—it is carried to a height of 9.5 miles under a larger ‘mothership’ plane called Eve.”可知，前面讲了VSS Unity由一架名为Eve的大型母舰飞机搭载至9.5英里的高度。由此推断，画线词“It”指代的是前文提到的VSS Unity。故选D。
30．Who is the latest person to go into space according to the passage？(　　)
A．Hayley Arceneaux. B．William Shatner.
C．Jeff Bezos. D．Wally Funk.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。A选项Hayley Arceneaux在最后一段被提及，本段首句提及的进入太空的时间是九月份；C项Jeff Bezos在第四段被提及，他是Amazen创始人，他飞行的时间是在2021年7月初之后不到两周的时间，也就是在七月份；再根据第四段倒数第二句“Funk became the oldest person to fly in space but only held that record until October, when 90-year-old actor William Shatner flew on the second New Shepard launch.”可知，10月，William Shatner打破了纪录，说明他是四个选项中提到的人中最近进入太空的人。故选B。
31．Which statement will the author probably agree with？(　　)
A．New spacecrafts will weigh increasingly light.
B．Old people are more suitable to have space travel.
C．Ordinary people can go into space in the near future.
D．Space travel missions can meet the demand for hospitals.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，9月，4名普通人进入了地球轨道，这个项目是为了筹集资金。由此推断，将来普通人也可以进入太空。故选C。
D
It was a quiet early afternoon in the library, and we librarians were enjoying a chat at the library desk. Suddenly, a regular reader, who had been reading a magazine, marched up to us, gave us an annoyed “Shush (嘘)！” and went back to her seat.
Shocked into silence, we tried not to laugh. How strange for a group of librarians to be shushed by a reader! Shouldn't it be the other way around
Well, it seems hard to explain. If you're a baby boomer (婴儿潮出生的人) like me, you probably remember libraries as places of adults' silent reading. These days, however, libraries are more like busy community centers, where being noisy to some degree is the new normal, especially when kids are taking part.
I am a loud librarian. My voice is naturally on the louder side. The hundreds of programs I led as a children's librarian were filled with singing, dancing, movement exercises and cheerful readings of books with crowds of children and their caregivers. No shushing allowed!
Growing knowledge about the importance of kids and teens learning through hands-on experiences has since caused a sea change in how public libraries connect with young readers. These types of programs like board games, poetry reading and story times certainly aren't designed to be silent.
But it's a balancing act. Not all readers—or librarians—like the idea of a noisy library. It's clear to me now that on the day my colleagues and I were shushed by a reader, we should have been using our “library voices” as we talked. Still, it's unlikely that libraries will ever return to the days when they were places of silence. There's just too much fun and learning happening. I heartily agree with my friend Rachel Payne, an early-childhood service educator at the Brooklyn Public Library, who told me, “When I visit a library and it is quiet, I always feel a bit sad. A library where conversations are happening and tables are full is a very good thing！”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章通过描述在图书馆内发生的一个有趣的事件，探讨了现代图书馆变得喧闹的原因和重要性。作者认为，在图书馆里有交流和活跃的氛围是件好事。
32．How did the author think of the shush from a reader？(　　)
A．Unexpectedly funny. B．Really annoying.
C．Quite necessary. D．Very heartwarming.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“Shocked into silence, we tried not to laugh. How strange for a group of librarians to be shushed by a reader! Shouldn't it be the other way around？”可知，作者认为读者的嘘声出乎意料地有趣。
33．What can be inferred about today's libraries？(　　)
A．They serve kids only.
B．They become quieter.
C．They are less popular.
D．They have different functions.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“These days, however, libraries are more like busy community centers, where being noisy to some degree is the new normal, especially when kids are taking part.”以及第四段“I am a loud librarian. My voice is naturally on the louder side. The hundreds of programs I led as a children's librarian were filled with singing, dancing, movement exercises and cheerful readings of books with crowds of children and their caregivers.”可推知，现在的图书馆有不同的功能。
34．Why does the author quote Rachel Payne？(　　)
A．To show different voices.
B．To express the author's idea．
C．To make the end interesting.
D．To promote a new reading method.

解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者引用蕾切尔·佩恩的话是为了表达自己的观点，认为在图书馆里有交流和活跃的氛围是件好事。

A．How to Act in the Library
B．It's OK for a Library to Be Noisy

D．It's Necessary for Librarians to Change
答案：B
解析：标题归纳题。纵观全文可知，本文通过描述在图书馆内发生的一个有趣的事件探讨了现代图书馆变得喧闹的原因和重要性，以及根据最后一段可知，作者认为在图书馆里有交流和活跃的氛围是件好事，故选B。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《奇幻森林》背后的拍摄和制作过程。
56．答案：its
解析：句意：当迪斯尼说它的电影团队成员正在重拍《奇幻森林》时，每个人都很惊讶。修饰后文film team members应用形容词性物主代词its。
57．答案：the
解析：句意：这部电影改编自吉卜林的同名小说，讲述了一个名叫毛克利的男孩的故事。same需与定冠词连用，the same表示“相同的”。
58．答案：named
解析：分析句子结构可知，name与逻辑主语boy构成被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。
59．答案：happily
解析：句意：毛克利和他的动物朋友们在丛林里快乐地生活着，直到有一天老虎谢尔·汗回来了，想把他赶出丛林。修饰动词live应用副词作状语。故填happily。
60．答案：to drive
解析：此处为短语try to do，表示“试图做某事”。故填to drive。
61．答案：as
解析：句意：1967年，迪斯尼把这本书改编成卡通电影，被广泛认为是一部经典。此处为短语regard sb. /sth. as“把……当作”，此处为被动形式。故填as。
62．答案：was
解析：句意：在电脑上构建丛林环境并不是一件容易的事。描述过去发生的事情用一般过去时，且动名词作主语，谓语动词用单数。故填was。
63．答案：artists
解析：句意：800多名艺术家花了一年多的时间来完成这个项目。artist由800修饰应用复数形式。故填artists。
64．答案：tension
解析：句意：《奇幻森林》持续了大约两个小时，但它的紧张和幽默足以让你在整部电影中保持注意力。根据连词and后的名词humour可知，本题应为名词， 故填tension。
65．答案：when/if
解析：句意：如果/当你玩得开心时，两个小时似乎不太长。此处理解为时间状语从句，表示“当……时候”可用when；或理解为条件状语从句，表示“如果”应用if。故填when/if。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Our Garfield became a mostly indoor cat. He used to wander outside but we discovered he had a terrible sense of direction, so now he has to stay inside. He does not enjoy being on the inside looking out, but it's safer for him so that's how it has to be.
When Garfield isn't sleeping, he's either sitting on a windowsill (窗台) or sitting with his wet nose pressed against our glass door overlooking the deck (木质平台), like a prisoner behind bars. As he ages, he earns back his outside rights an hour per day because he shows us that he will stay close to the back deck.
When we let him out last week, a thunderstorm arose out of nowhere. By the time we heard the crack of lightning and remembered Garfield was outside, we opened the door to see nothing but strong wind and heavy rain. My daughter Janette put on her rubber boots and raincoat to check around the house, but Garfield was nowhere to be found. The thunderstorm obviously had scared him into a run in the wrong direction. Who knew where he would end up
It took me forever to fall asleep that night. I prayed (祈祷) someone would protect him and help him find his way home. As I continued praying, I realized that in my daily prayers for my family, I rarely included Garfield. Now that he was gone, maybe forever, I realized what an important part of our family he was. I prayed for his safe return.
My husband Peter was the first one up at 6：00 A． m. He checked the doorstep, but no Garfield was in sight. I saw my neighbor Heidi taking her dog out for a walk, and I asked her to please keep her eyes open for our cat. Janette and her three brothers all walked around the house that day looking like they had lost their best friend. Peter decided to look for Garfield around the neighborhood.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

【语篇解读】　本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者家养的加菲猫喜欢在室外闲逛，但是某一个雷雨天，加菲猫没有回家，一家人四处寻找无果，作者为加菲猫的安全祈祷，第三天夜里10点，作者听到了挠门声，猫自己回来了，一家人认识到加菲猫已经是家里的一员，以后不能再失去他。
1．段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“彼得和我开车去附近搜索”可知，第一段可描写作者在附近寻找加菲猫的经历，第二天早上，作者伤心地认为以后再也见不到加菲猫了。
②由第二段首句内容“晚上10点，我正对自己说‘不要轻易放弃’，突然听到有什么东西在抓门”可知，第二段可描写作者发现加菲猫在失踪一段时间后自己回到了家，一家人欣喜若狂，更加珍视猫为家里的一员。
2．续写线索：四处寻找——伤心失去了猫——听见抓门声——猫回来了——失而复得的心情——感悟
参考范文：
Peter and I drove around to search the neighborhood. We spotted a few cats but none were our gorgeous orange cat with his white chest and white face. I put up my lost-cat notice around the neighborhood, with a photo of my beautiful cat and our phone number. After another restless night and another empty doorstep in the morning, I thought sadly, “He's not an outdoor cat. He could not possibly survive two nights out there. We were never going to see him again.”
I was saying to myself “Never say never” when I heard something scratching the door at 10：00 p．m. I opened the door and found Garfield was right there! With excitement, I picked him up and shouted to the living room: “He is back! Garfield is back！” All of my family gathered around Garfield and me, greeting and comforting him. We all took turns holding him and fussing over him as the long-lost friend that he was. Garfield's still an indoor cat. He's such an important part of our family that we can't afford to lose him again.
