A
Jessie is on a mission to change wellness in New Zealand forever. That sounds like a noble ambition, but it's one coming from a commitment started by adversity(逆境). Jessie was only 30 when she heard the news no one at any age wants to hear.
“I was happily married, six months pregnant(怀孕的) and excited about my future. Then everything changed in an instant. The doctors had discovered a tumour bigger than my baby's head around my uterus(子宫).”
Jessie had emergency surgery to save her baby and remove the tumour. She then had to undergo months of debilitating (令人虚弱的) treatment. But the surgery was just the beginning of the journey. Chemotherapy(化疗) doesn't build people up; it breaks them. In many ways, the hardest and longest part of the journey is what comes after the therapy stops—a long road back to wellness.
“I came from a medicine-related background, so I knew the power of modern drugs. But there was a point where chemicals weren't enough, and my recovery was delayed. I knew I needed to try to use the power of nature to help me find my way back to wellness,” says Jessie. “I spent years studying options and learning about what was available to me.”
As Jessie regained her strength, she decided she could make a difference to New Zealanders by sharing her experience and new-found knowledge to help people live healthier lives. And through that journey, AJE Healthcare started. Jessie's mission was to make natural healthcare easy to understand and effective in helping people live their best lives.
But this is just the beginning for Jessie. She is determined to grow her business, serve her customers delightfully, and make natural healthcare accessible to all New Zealanders.

B
The term “digital equity (公平)” has been talked about for several years, but school closures during the epidemic have brought increased attention to the issue. However, while much focus has been on improving access to technology for students, an area of digital equity that often gets neglected is how parents are expected to engage with their children's schools.
Research shows that students with engaged families earn higher grades, adapt more quickly, have better behavior and social skills. Parents who know what is happening in the classroom are better equipped to help their children succeed and can combine learning at home with learning at school. That's why equitable communication with parents needs to be part of a district's overall equity goals.
Equitable parent communication requires schools to meet parents where they are, especially considering that nearly 1 in 4 US homes live with no Internet access. Parents who do not have smart phones or personal computers should have the same access to their children's teachers as parents with the latest technology.
Often districts use communication platforms that require parents to log into a website, choose a messaging service, or download software. Each of these obstacles restricts communication pathways for parents who do not have access to the required technology. Districts should consider platforms that enable parents to receive phone calls to fixed-line telephones and SMS messages to standard cellphones.
In addition, platforms that focus on “blast” and “mass” types of messaging are sufficient for distributing information related to an entire classroom or school but miss the mark on developing meaningful relationships with individual parents and creating real engagement opportunities. Districts should opt to use tools that create digital equity for parents and create an environment where meaningful conversations can take place.
To conclude, good school-home relationships are a crucial factor in children's education. Positive school-home relationships must get supported as equitable communication is the pathway to engaging all parents in helping students achieve more success.
5.What does the underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 1 mean
A.Mentioned. B.Ignored. C.Explored. D.Stressed.
6.What is the result of the research in Paragraph 2
A.Students can adapt to school life easily.
B.Students can deal with challenges on their own.
C.Parents' habits significantly affect their children.
D.Parents' involvement in children's schooling is rewarding.
7.What should districts do to promote positive school-home relationships
A.Make the environment more friendly. B.Provide free cellphones for parents.
C.Popularize communication websites. D.Find ways to provide equitable communication.
8.What is the main idea of the text
A.Digital equity can help students succeed.
B.Parents should value communication platforms.
C.School-home relationships are important in children's education.
D.Meaningful conversations will benefit children's education greatly.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Jessie积极向上的生活态度和崇高的理想。她在怀孕期间被诊断患有癌症,然后通过手术拯救了胎儿和自己,但是Jessie在术后经历了长期的化疗过程,这样的经历促使她创建了AJE Healthcare,并树立帮助新西兰人了解自然保健、为其谋取健康的人生理想。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...six months pregnant(怀孕的) and excited about my future...The doctors had discovered a tumour bigger than my baby's head around my uterus(子宫).”可知,Jessie在怀孕六个月时,被医生发现子宫周围有一个比胎儿头部还大的肿瘤。由此可知Jessie在怀孕的时候被诊断患有癌症。故选A。
技巧点拨
如果同学们不认识“tumour(肿瘤)”,可以通过后文的“surgery”“Chemotherapy(化疗)”和题干中的“cancer”等相关词汇来推测该词的意思。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“She then had to undergo months of debilitating (令人虚弱的) treatment. But the surgery was just the beginning of the journey.”可知,手术的完成只是治疗过程的开始,后期还有会使人身体变差的化疗过程。故选D。
易错分析
根据第三段内容可知,Jessie术后并未痊愈,仍需化疗,故排除B;A、C为化疗的副作用而非手术后的结果,故排除。注意,有些学生轻信文中出现的内容就是正确的选项,文中谈到的内容就是正确的答案,殊不知出题者往往会把文中内容放入选项,把题干中的信息与选项错位混淆,迷惑考生。建议确定最终选项前,把选项与原文信息进行比对。
3.D 细节理解题。
①根据题干中的关键词“AJE Healthcare”可定位到倒数第二段。
②根据倒数第二段中的“And through that journey, AJE Healthcare started. Jessie's mission was to make natural healthcare easy to understand and effective in helping people live their best lives.”可知,Jessie的使命是使自然保健容易理解以及有效地帮助人们过上最好的生活。所以,Jessie为了帮助人们获取健康,创建了AJE Healthcare,故选D。
4.A 主旨大意题。
Para. 1 Jessie的使命是永远改变新西兰人民的健康状况——这是一个来自逆境的承诺。
Paras. 2-4 Jessie在孕期患癌后手术和化疗的经历。
Paras. 5-6 Jessie创建AJE Healthcare及推动自然保健的理想。
结合文章结构可知,本文主要讲了Jessie在身患癌症的逆境之下,找到个人理想,并为之努力的故事。因此A项“在逆境中找到目标”最适合作为文章标题。
B
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在网络时代的儿童的教育中,一些家长不能公平地参与到学生的教育中。作者呼吁建立良好的家校关系,为家长创建平等的环境,让他们参与到孩子的教育中来。
5.B 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段的最后一句“However, while much...with their children's schools.(然而,虽然很多人都在关注如何改善学生获得技术的机会,但数字公平的一个领域往往被neglected,那就是家长应该如何与孩子的学校互动。)”可知,画线词与“much focus has been on”意思相反,应该是“忽略”的意思,故选B。
6.D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Research shows that students with engaged families earn higher grades, adapt more quickly, have better behavior and social skills. (研究表明,有家庭投入的学生成绩更高,适应更快,有更好的行为和社交技巧。)”可知,研究结果是父母参与孩子的教育是值得的。故选D。
7.D 细节理解题。由第四段最后一句“Districts should consider...standard cellphones.”可知,各学区应考虑家长能够用固定电话接听电话和用普通手机接收短信的平台。由第五段最后一句“Districts should opt to...can take place.”可知,各学区应该选择使用为家长创造数字公平的工具,并创造可以进行有意义的对话的环境。因此,学区应该找到提供公平沟通的方法来促进积极的学校与家庭关系。故选D。
8.C 主旨大意题。通读全文,不难发现最后一段为全文的总结。根据最后一段可知,良好的学校与家庭关系是孩子教育的关键因素。积极的学校与家庭关系必须得到支持,因为公平的沟通是让所有家长参与帮助学生取得更大成功的途径。所以说,本文讲述学校与家庭的关系在儿童教育中的重要性,故选C。
难句分析
原句 In addition, platforms that focus on “blast” and “mass” types of messaging are sufficient for distributing information related to an entire classroom or school but miss the mark on developing meaningful relationships with individual parents and creating real engagement opportunities.
分析 本句为主从复合句。该句中“that focus on ‘blast’ and ‘mass’ types of messaging”为定语从句,修饰先行词platforms;“related to an entire classroom or
school”为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰information;but连接谓语动词are与miss;后面的and连接“developing meaningful relationships with individual parents”和“creating real engagement opportunities”。
译文 此外,专注于发送“爆炸”和“大众”类型信息的平台足以传播与整个教室或学校相关的信息,但却无法与个别家长建立有意义的关系,也无法创造真正的参与机会。
Ⅱ.完形填空
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了蔡磊得了绝症,但是他并没有放弃,而是尽自己最大努力与病魔作斗争。
1.D 根据最后一段中的“I won't give up.(我不会放弃的。)”可知,此处应是“纵使不敌,也绝不屈服(give in)”之意。turn up调高;take off起飞;look down俯视。
2.A 根据前文“That is how Cai Lei, former vice-president of a business giant, faces ALS, a terminal illness.(那就是一家商业巨头的前副总裁蔡磊面对绝症ALS的方式。)”可知,蔡磊得了病,所以此处是讲和病魔作斗争(battle)。test测试;invention发明;quarrel争吵。
3.C 根据后文“Then his left hand quickly moved towards the right one”可知,他快速将左手移向了右手,这也说明这两只手之前是分离的。因此此处应是“双手分开(separated)约20厘米”之意。pull拉;raise举起;limit限制。
易错分析
本题容易错选B项。主要原因在于对raise one's hand较为熟悉,或未能准确理解该句的意思。
4.A 根据后文“he added, ‘Now this is how long it will be.’”可知,他现在(生病状态下)的预期寿命较短,那么本句就应该指的是他原本的(original)的预期寿命。extended扩展了的;designed设计好的;controllable可控制的。
5.B 此处用两手间距离的短来说明患病后的蔡磊的生命的短促,所以此处“左手几乎碰到(touching)了右手”符合语境。skip跳过;cover覆盖;wrap包裹。
6.C 根据前文可知,蔡磊因为疾病,预期寿命急剧减少,所以世界对他来说是黑暗的(dark)。rude粗鲁的;free自由的;empty空的。
7.B 根据后文“In 2019, he started his own medical technology company, and built his own research team.”可知,2019年,蔡磊创办了自己的医疗科技公司,并组建了自己的研究团队。由此可见,他是决定把事情掌握在自己手中。take sth. into one's own hands意为“把某事掌握在某人自己手中;亲自处理某事”。book书;research研究;business公司。
8.C 根据后文“removing the data 9 between hospitals, which made it difficult for experts to efficiently monitor and 10 patients' situations”可知,蔡磊和他的团队消除了医院间阻碍专家有效地监测患者的情况的数据障碍,因此此处介绍的是团队的一个重大突破(breakthrough)。influence影响;schedule日程表;adjustment调整。
9.D 结合上题可知,后文的which指代该空,指阻碍专家有效监测病人情况的数据障碍(barrier)。interruption打扰;disagreement分歧;competition竞赛。
10.A 结合上文可知,他的团队消除了医院之间的数据障碍,而数据是用来监测和分析(analyze)患者的情况的。consult咨询;guide指导;bridge克服(障碍)。
11.B 根据前文“His team also built a big data platform”可知,他的团队建立了一个大数据平台。顾名思义,大数据平台应该是用来收集信息(information)的。knowledge知识;emotion情感;experience经验。
12.A 根据后文“by his example”并结合选项可知,此处应是“被他的以身作则激励(Motivated)”之意。challenge挑战;discourage阻止,使灰心;shock使震惊。
13.D 根据前文“His team also built a big data platform that could collect the 11 of such patients and process it for research purposes.”可知,他的团队还建立了一个大数据平台,去收集这些患者的信息,所以此处应是近1,000名患者决定捐献(donate)自己的遗体用于医学研究。measure测量;address演讲,对付;copy复制。
14.D 根据前文“I don't consider work from the angle of difficulties or possibilities.”可知,蔡磊从不从困难或可能性的角度来考虑工作,他只是思考是否值得这么做。choose选择;doubt怀疑;argue争论;debate思考,仔细考虑。
15.C 根据后文“because I have tried my best(因为我已经尽力了)”可知,蔡磊已经尽了最大的努力,所以没有任何遗憾(regret)。anger愤怒;delay延误;prejudice偏见。
熟词生义
1.bridge 熟义:n.桥 生义:v.克服 (障碍);缩小(差距) 2.debate 熟义:n.& v.辩论 生义:v.仔细考虑;思考;盘算

Skipping Meals
Our class conducted a survey entitled “How often meals are skipped ”. As the results of the survey show,the percentage of students who skip meals several times a week is 80%.【引出调查结果】
Some students are keen to eat snacks, skipping regular meals, which does great harm to their health, and even their study, while others may not have access to a healthy meal due to their busy schedules or lack of healthy food options.【分析原因及危害】
As far as I am concerned, more healthy meal options can help reduce the harmful impact of skipping meals and secure students the nutrition they need. Secondly, it's important to squeeze in meals by making small adjustments to our daily arrangements or prioritizing breakfast or lunch over other activities.【个人建议】
