Seeing the amazing experiences unfold for her big brother, Heidi Hudicka set out to create her own first business, a fashion clothing line for her 18 dolls.
But one day, Joey and Heidi met after school and experienced a real breakthrough. “I was telling Joey I was asking friends if they would like me to outsource（外包给）the sewing of my designs to them, since it is not really my favorite part of that business, but none of my friends understood what I meant by outsourcing,” recalls Heidi.
“When Heidi told me what happened after school that day I was like, ‘Yeah! I have the same problem.’ Most kids just don’t understand when we talk about our business, or even why it is important to understand how businesses work,” says Joey. “And that’s when we decided to do something about it, to create a fun and engaging way to teach more kids about the power of their creativity through innovation and entrepreneurship.”
Joey and Heidi, along with their parents, founded Fizzee Labs, and began creating engaging learning resources such as Outta This World, a board game that activate your imagination by applying it to invent amazing new products or experiences, in a fast-paced, competitive format.
“Outta This World is a journey through the depths of outer space.

I’m Naomi Shah, and today I’ll be talking to you about my research involving indoor air quality and asthmatic（哮喘） patients. 1.6 million deaths worldwide. One death every 20 seconds. People spend over 90 percent of their lives indoors. And the economic burden of asthma go beyond that of HIV and tuberculosis（肺结核） combined.
Now these statistics had a huge impact on me. I started researching, and I soon found that indoor air pollutants were the main causes. But soon after, I developed a novel mathematical model that essentially measures the effect of these environmental pollutants（污染物） on the lung health of asthmatic patients.
I have a volunteer subject in the audience today, Julie. And all of Julie’s data has been pre-entered into my interactive software model. So Julie’s going to her doctor’s office to get treated for her asthma. And the doctor has her sit down, and he takes her peak breath flow rate. I’ve entered it up into the interactive software model. I’ve also entered in her age, her gender and her height. Any users just clicked on “lung function report” and it’ll take them to this report that I created. When the doctor sees this , maybe he would say, “Wow, we need to give her steroids（类固醇), medication and so on.”
But I want everyone here to reimagine a world where instead of prescribing steroids and medication, the doctor turns to Julie and says, “Why don’t you go home and clean out your air cleaner. Clean out the air dusts in your home, in your workplace, in your school. Stop the use of incense and candles. And if you’re remodeling your house, take out all the carpeting and put in hardwood flooring.” Because these solutions are natural, these solutions are sustainable, and these solutions are long-term investments -- long-term investments that we’re making for our generation and for future generations.
So I’m very passionate about this research and I really want to continue it and expand it to more diseases besides asthma, as well as more pollutants. To know more relationship between them is my main task. But before I end my talk today, I want to leave you with one saying. And that saying is that genetics loads the gun, but the environment pulls the trigger（扳机）.
8．What does the underline word “subject” probably refer to in Paragraph 3?
A．The research leader. B．The research participant .
C．The research instructor . D．The research designer.
9．What is the writer’s attitude towards the research?
A．Doubtful B．Favorable
C．Critical D．Disapproving
10．What suggestion may the author give to Julie to ease her symptom(症状)？
A．She had better use incense and candles.
B．She should have the air cleaner replaced .
C．She has got to take steroid and medication.
D．She is supposed to carpet the floor with hard wood.
11．What is the main purpose of the last paragraph ?
A．To show the author’s passion.
B．To stress the significance of the environment.
C．To emphasize the urgency to deepen the research.
D．To introduce the research between diseases and pollutants.

When office workers were sent home in the spring of 2020, managers suddenly faced a new challenge: how to monitor teams that were working remotely.
A new book, “Leading at a Distance”, by James Citrin and Darleen Derosa of Spencer Stuart, an executive-search firm, attempts to provide some practical tips for managers dealing with staff whom they do not see face to face.
The authors are not in the gloomy(阴暗的) camp that believes remote working is a disaster. They think it can be just as effective as face-to-face work.
They point out that the ability to hire people who can work anywhere means that businesses will find it easier to develop more diverse workforces. A study by McKinsey, a consultancy(咨询公司), found that 70% of companies thought remote hiring would help in this respect.
The book offers some useful advice. For starters, keep virtual teams small. The upper threshold(界限) seems to be around a dozen. A study found that 37% of low-performing teams had 13 or more members. In addition, the best-performing teams tended to be drawn from one department, such as marketing, rather than from across the firm.
Mr Citrin and Ms Derosa also warn of the dangers of virtual meetings. Just because it is possible to schedule one does not mean it is necessary or wise to do so. Poorly run meetings do not just waste time, they threaten the ability to meet deadlines, adding to workers’ stress. Long meetings should have breaks, allowing for a gap between sessions in an hourly schedule.
A few things must change when people work remotely. But not everything does. Managers will need to make a more determined effort to keep in contact with their staff. If, as most people expect, a hybrid(混合的) model emerges with remote working a couple of days a week, there will be plenty of space for interaction when managers and team members are both present.
12．What did James Citrin and Darleen Derosa attempt to do in the book?
A．Provide some tips for employees.
B．Help managers to see staff face to face.
C．Raise some questions on working remotely.
D．Address some practical matters on remote managing.
13．What would remote hiring help employers to do?
A．To keep in touch with staff in different ways.
B．To employ more hard-working labor forces.
C．To have easy access to various labor forces.
D．To hire less labor forces working in foreign countries.
14．What does the author talk about in the last but one paragraph ?
A．The dangers of wasting time.
B．The need to schedule meetings.
C．The disadvantages of online meetings.
D．The things we should avoid in meetings.
15．What is the best title for the text?
A．How to lead remotely
B．How to hold virtual meetings
C．How to keep in contact with managers
D．How to tackle affairs when working remotely

12．D

14．
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段的段首句“Mr Citrin and Ms Derosa also warn of the dangers of virtual meetings.（西特林和德罗萨还警告了虚拟会议的危险性）”及下文内容可知，本段主要介绍在线会议的弊端。故选C项。
15．
主旨大意题。根据第一段When office workers were sent home in the spring of 2020, managers suddenly faced a new challenge: how to monitor teams that were working remotely. 可知，当办公室员工们在2020年春天被遣散回家时，管理者们突然面临着一个新的挑战：如何监督远程工作的团队。接下来的文章内容就是围绕着如何远程管理的方法进行的表述。故“如何远程领导”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A项。

二、七选五
If you are seeking a nice vacation destination for your family, the country of Greece should be at the top of your list. Apart from being one of the most beautiful places on the earth, it is also home to some of the best food and wine that has ever been produced. 16．
Good accommodation is hard to find. Whether hotel or resort, chances are they’re all booked. Because of this, you better know when to book reservations. 17． Beaches are less crowded and deals are better. For the low on budget, you may choose the youth hostels in Santorini for an elegant view.
18． In contrast to common belief, there are fewer vegetarian (素食者) choices than you might expect. The Greeks consume significantly more meat than the rest of the Mediterranean population. The majority of the restaurants provide meat-based dishes, and the food is unquestionably delicious.
Not all beaches are safe. Just like in any other country, not everything is as safe as it seems. Some of Greece’s beaches can be dangerous. Milos is home to some of the most beautiful but dangerous beaches in Greece. 19． To be more cautious, avoid such beaches whenever possible.
You’ll need cash. 20． This is because you will hardly find ATMs since they are mostly located at a distance, inaccessible, or even non-existent. It is recommended that you convert your money to Euros in advance as this is the currency you are going to be using.
A．Vegetarian options are limited.
B．Meat-based dishes are quite tasty.
C．Tsigrados, a beach from there, comes with a warning sign.
D．The best time is during low season and shoulder season.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了去希腊旅行之前需要了解的一些事项。
【详解】
1. 分析全文结构可知，第一段引入话题。第二、三、四、五段是并列的，每一段表达一个观点。根据第二段“Good accommodation is hard to find.”(好的住宿很难找到。)，第三段“The majority of the restaurants provide meat-based dishes, and the food is unquestionably delicious.”(大多数餐馆都提供肉类菜肴，食物无疑是美味的。)，第四段“Not all beaches are safe.”(不是所有的海滩都是安全的。)以及第五段“You’ll need cash.”(你会需要一些现金。)可知，每段讲述的是旅行时应该考虑的事情。G项“But there are a few things you should be aware of before travelling to Greece.”(但是在去希腊之前，有些事情你应该知道。)承上启下，该项承接上文，继续说去希腊旅行的事，但是笔锋一转，介绍了去希腊旅行需要注意的事情，引起下文，符合语境。故选G。
2.根据上文“Because of this, you better know when to book reservations.”(由于这个原因，你最好知道什么时候预定合适。)可知，此处讲到要知道什么时间预订房间，D选项“The best time is during low season and shoulder season.”(最好的时间是淡季和旅游平季。)符合，承接上文，其中的“the best time”与空前一句中的“when to book reservations”呼应。故选D。
3.分析文章结构可知，第一段引入话题。接下来每段表达一个观点。且每段第一句话表达的是是你在旅游时需要注意的事项。根据下文“In contrast to common belief, there are fewer vegetarian (素食者) choices than you might expect. The Greeks consume significantly more meat than the rest of the Mediterranean population. The majority of the restaurants provide meat-based dishes, and the food is unquestionably delicious.”(与人们普遍认为的相反，选择素食的人比你想象的要少。希腊人比其他地中海居民消费更多的肉类。大多数餐馆都提供肉类菜肴，食物无疑是美味的。)可知，本段主要讲的是希腊多以肉食为主，且结合全文讲的是去希腊旅游的注意事项，A项“Vegetarian options are limited.”（素食者的选择是有限的）符合，总领本段，故选A。
4.根据本段第一句话“Not all beaches are safe.”(不是所有的沙滩都是安全的)可知，本段围绕希腊的部分沙滩并不安全展开，再结合空前句子“Milos is home to some of the most beautiful but dangerous beaches in Greece.”(米洛斯是希腊最美丽但最危险的海滩之一。)可知，本空应该列举另外一处危险的沙滩，C选项“Tsigrados, a beach from there, comes with a warning sign.”(Tsigrados属于那里的海滩，海滩上有一个警告标志。)符合，故选C。
5.本段第一句话“You’ll need cash.”(你需要现金。)可知，本段主要讲的是在希腊旅行需要准备现金，再结合空后句子“This is because you will hardly find ATMs since they are mostly located at a distance, inaccessible, or even non-existent.”(这是因为你几乎找不到自动取款机，因为它们大多位于很远的地方，无法进入，甚至根本不存在。)可知，此句是对空处的解释，空处应该表达的是要带很多现金，这是因为希腊的自动提款机通常地处偏远，E项“Make sure you have adequate money before you fly to Greece.”(在飞到希腊之前，确保你带了足够多的现金)符合，故选E。

One thing that could help 33 that misconception(误解), according to the report authors, would be for schools to employ more career consultants（顾问）to 34 students through the complex web of post-high school options.

【分析】
本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍的是青岛农业大学生命科学院赵明辉副教授在社交平台上发布了一条为9个月大的克隆猫平安征婚的消息。文章幽默有趣，既能吸引学生兴趣，又能让学生了解我国生命科学的发展和克隆技术的进步，进一步激发学生的爱国信仰。
36．
考查形容词性物主代词。句意：2020年8月27日，青岛农业大学生命科学学院的副教授赵明辉在网上发布了一则征婚启事，为他实验室里的猫寻求一只9个月大的猫做配偶。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词性物主代词修饰后面的名词“cat”。故填his。
37．
考查介词。句意：在这张启示里，他把他的猫描述成克隆技术的志愿细胞。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查“describe…as…”把这…描述成...，as译为“作为”。故填as。
38．
考查名词。句意：至于对这只猫伴侣的要求，启示上说，伦敦腔的健康的英国长毛猫将会被放在候选者名单的最上面。根据句子结构和意思可知，此空要填名词。根据下一句“the post said that healthy British long-haired cats who can speak with a London accent would be put on the top of the candidates list.”可知，对这只猫的要求不止一条，应用可数名词复数，也可以整体视为一个要求，用单数，故填requirement(s)。
39．
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一只特殊的猫，是第一只出现在国内大学克隆实验室的猫。分析句子结构可知，one前有序数词修饰，用不定式作后置定语。故填to appear。
40．
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：这只出生在12月24日的猫被称为平安，意味着和平和安全。分析句子结构可知，这里考查短语“refer to A as B”把A称之为B。根据句子意思这只猫被称之为平安，可知，这里要用被动语态。主语是“The clone”指这只猫，谓语be动词用单数。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。故填is referred。
41．
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的9个月里，这只猫已经长到了成年阶段，也就是进入到了交配期，在此时它已经准备好有配偶了。句子中的时间状语Over the past nine months与现在完成时连用。主语是the cat，所以谓语动词要用单数形式。故填has grown。
42．
考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子结构和意思可知，这是定语从句。先行词是the period of young adulthood，在定语从句中做时间状语。故填when。
43．
考查副词。句意：赵教授的团队在一个特别的时期，通过提前建立好的技术搜集到了早期的胚胎，准确无误地获得了猫的受精卵。分析句子结构和意思可知，这是考查副词修饰动词“get”。故填accurately。
44．
考查冠词。句意：这项技术提供了一种重要的方法，为制作人类疾病的大型动物模型和研究疾病的发病机理奠定了理论基础，因此，提升了药物的研发。根据上下文结构可知，means是可数名词单数形式，前面需要用冠词限定。又因为空格后是important，第一个音节是元音，故填an。
45．
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，表示自然而然的结果，用现在分词作结果状语，故填promoting。

六、读后续写
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。
I am Russian, but for the last five years, I’ve lived in Kansas. What brought me to this country was my American husband, John. I work in a department store, where my coworkers pronounce my Russian name so sweetly. Every time I hear it, I feel as though my mom is embracing me.
In my native country, people believe that Americans always keep big smiles on their faces even if they don’t have a real reason to do so. The American smile, the Russians have decided, is not genuine.
Last year, John encouraged me to go see my mom back in Russia. My manager even gave me a month off for the trip. (When you live an ocean apart from your family, you need at least a month to visit them.) I bought a plane ticket and packed my suitcase. Then came COVID-19. My mood became gray as I realized I couldn’t go see my mom.
A couple of weeks later, my sweet coworker Miss Donna, asked me.“So what’s happening with your trip to Russia?”I told her that I had to cancel it and that I wouldn’t be able to see my mom this year.
Miss Donna didn’t say anything at first. Then she put on a big American smile and said, “Well, you can come over and see my mom!”
Oh, my Lord! (That’s what my husband always says when he’s at a loss for words.) Imagine, a mom for loan! I honestly don’t know whether I would offer the same to someone in need of a mother’s warmth, but my new people sure would do it for me. I know that because of the virus you shouldn’t hug friends, but you can still embrace someone’s heart. That’s how my heart felt at that moment: hugged. So, yes, believe me, the American smile is genuine.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
It didn’t take long before Miss Donna invited me to call on her mom.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the dinner was ready, I was surprised to find there were several Russian dishes.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
It didn’t take long before Miss Donna invited me to call on her mom. I could still remember it was a Saturday afternoon. The sun was sinking in the west when I knocked on the door. An aged woman answered it. The moment she saw me, a typical American smile lit up her face, which also drove my nervousness away. After my introduction, she warmly led me in, seated me on the sofa and called Miss Donna to chat with me, while she herself walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner for us.
Para 2:
When the dinner was ready, I was surprised to find there were several Russian dishes. Miss Donna’s mom smiled gently to me, “Make yourself at home.” Definitely she struck me as a lovely and caring mom, just like my mom. Over the dinner I told her about my hometown and she listened carefully with an understanding expression. The cuisine she made left a deep impression on me, but what struck me most was her warm smile, which was full of encouragement and love. Never before had I believed so firmly that a genuine smile was a ray of light, brightening up the day in the darkest time.
