W: I’m wondering what caused the fire.
M: It was a cigarette end that burnt the carpet up when a man was sleeping soundly on the sofa. His son was playing with his cigarette end by the table. He threw the cigarette end on the carpet.
W: How could a kid get the cigarette!
M: That is the point. The man was drunk and he died in his dream.

【原文】W: We celebrate Christmas in winter. We have known that Santa Claus sends gifts. But do you know how people celebrate their Christmas when their year-round climate is warm? They have no winters.
For instance, in California, it is warm all the year round. The Christmas traditions there may seem unusual to those used to more traditional images. In Santa Cruz, California, Santa Claus takes his gifts on a surfboard, wearing a red diving suit. As long as he comes carrying presents, Surfing Santa would probably be popular anywhere. In Australia, many young people would go to the beach, enjoying the warm weather with a beach barbecue and cold beer. In recent years, Bondi Beach has become a very popular place for visitors from foreign countries to gather and celebrate. It’s not uncommon for numbers to reach 40,000 on Christmas Day.
While in cooler areas, many young people simply see Christmas as a time to escape their immediate families and celebrate with friends.
第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Antarctica is one of the last untouched frontiers on the planet. Despite its tough conditions, an Antarctic trip is far less dangerous nowadays than in the past. Here are the most popular routes to Antarctica, with different start points, pathways, and modes of transportation.
1. Ship tour from Argentina
Departing from Ushuaia is the most popular route when going to Antarctica from South American ports. Ushuaia is situated closer to Antarctic Peninsula (半岛) than other departure points, hence you can have more time spent on the scenic peninsula admiring icebergs, glaciers and abundant wildlife. There are a variety of ships from Ushuaia to choose.
Duration: 6 to 24 days
Cost: Between USD 6,000 and USD 25,000
Good to know: If you still want to visit some other incredible South American destinations, some suggestions are the Galapagos Islands, Rio de Janeiro and Machu Picchu.
2. Fly-ship tour from Chile
If you want to avoid spending two days crossing the Drake Passage and encounter rough seas in the bad weather, you can choose a fly-ship package. This involves flying to King George Island, which is right off the west coast of Antarctica Peninsula, to join a ship trip. You can also go ashore to experience the same sightseeing and wildlife opportunities.
Duration: 8 days
Cost: Between USD 10000 and USD 15,000
Good to know: If you have limited time and do not wish to spend more time on a ship than is necessary, then the fly-ship option is ideal.
3. Ship tour from Australia or New Zealand
Although you are unlikely to encounter any other ship all the way, you will see huge icebergs, Mount Erebus (an active volcano), emperor penguins, scientific bases and the sites of historic 20th century Antarctic adventures. If you are looking for a feeling of vast isolation and remoteness, this is the trip to take!
Duration: 26 to 30 days
Cost: USD 16,000 and USD 30,000
Good to know: Ships departing from New Zealand and Australia are smaller and carry no more than 50 passengers. These trips are rare and should be booked well in advance.
21. Which of the following is the closest to the Antarctica Peninsula?
A. The Galapagos Island. B. Ushuaia.
C. King George Island. D. Mount Erebus.
22. Where will you set off considering saving the most time on the ship?
A. Argentina. B. Chile. C. Australia. D. New Zealand.
23. Which route is the cheapest about the average daily cost?
A. Ship tour from Argentina. B. Fly tour from Rio de Janeiro.
C. Fly-ship tour from Chile. D. Ship tour from Australia or New Zealand.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D
【解析】

Cost: Between USD 6,000 and USD 25,000（持续时间：6-24天；费用：6000美元至25000美元）”；第二个小标题Fly-ship tour from Chile中的“Duration: 8 days；Cost: Between USD 10,000 and USD 15,000（持续时间：8天；费用：1万至1.5万美元）”以及第三个小标题Ship tour from Australia or New Zealand中的“Duration:26 to 30 days；Cost:USD 16,000 and USD 30,000（持续时间：26-30天；费用：1.6万美元和3万美元）”可知，按照最多的天数和做多的花费按每日平均费用计算，第三种从澳大利亚或新西兰乘船游览的方式日平均费用最低，为1000美元每天。故选D项。

Agatha Christie, the creator of one of the most enduring figures in crime literature-Hercule Poirot, is the best-selling author of all time.
She was born on 15 September, 1890 in Torquay, South West England, into a comfortably well off middle-class family. Although her mother, Clara, an excellent storyteller, did not want her to learn to read too early, she taught herself to read by the age of five. Agatha read the children’s stories of the time, invented imaginary friends and began writing poems when she was very young. At the age of eleven there was a shock. Her father, not well after suffering financial difficulties, died after a series of heart attacks. There were more money worries and talks of selling their house, but Clara and her daughters managed to find a way forward.
By the age of 18 Agatha was amusing herself with writing short stories. But it was during the First World War that Agatha turned to writing detective stories. Her debut detective novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles took some time to finish and even longer to find a publisher. She started writing partly in response to a bet from her sister Madge that she couldn’t write a good detective story and partly to ease the tiredness of working in a Red Cross Hospital in Torquay. Her new knowledge in poisons was also put to good use. The murderer’s use of poison was so well described that when the book was eventually published Agatha received a special honour for a writer of fiction-a review in Pharmaceutical (药学) Journal.
The inspiration for Hercule Poirot came from Agatha’s own life experience. During the First World War there were Belgian refugees (难民) in most parts of the English countryside, Torquay being no exception. Although he was not based on any particular person, Agatha thought that a Belgian refugee, a former great Belgian policeman, would make an excellent detective for The Mysterious Affair at Styles. Hercule Poirot was born.
24. What can we know about Agatha’s young age?
A. Her mother encouraged her to read. B. Her talent for language was shown.
C. Her father died in a medical accident. D. Her family always had financial problems.
25. What does the underlined word “debut” probably mean?
A. The first known. B. The most thrilling.
C. The best praised. D. The last published.
26. What is one of the reasons why Agatha began to write detective stories?
A. She wanted to prove something to her sister. B. She had nothing else to do during the war.
C. She could use her knowledge of poisons. D. She met a former great Belgium policeman.
27. What happens in The Mysterious Affair at Styles?
A. The murder takes place in Belgium. B. The detective is named Hercule Poirot.
C. Hercule Poirot is born in a refugee’s family. D. A Torquay policeman commits the murder.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇人物传记，讲述了著名侦探小说家阿加莎·克里斯蒂的生活背景、写作经历和第一本侦探小说《斯泰尔斯庄园的神秘事件》的创作灵感。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“Although her mother, Clara, an excellent storyteller, did not want her to learn to read too early, she taught herself to read by the age of five. Agatha read the children’s stories of the time, invented imaginary friends and began writing poems when she was very young. ”（尽管她的母亲克拉拉是一位很会讲故事的人，却不想让她过早地学会阅读，但她在五岁的时候就自学阅读了。 阿加莎读当时的儿童故事，虚构朋友，很小的时候就开始写诗。）可知，在阿加莎很小的时候，语言上的天赋就开始显现了。故选B项。
2.词义猜测题。根据文章第三段关键句“But it was during the First World War that Agatha turned to writing detective stories. Her debut detective novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles took some time to finish and even longer to find a publisher.”（但阿加莎是在第一次世界大战期间开始写侦探小说的。她的____侦探小说《斯泰尔斯庄园的神秘事件》花了一些时间才完成，找出版商的时间甚至更长。）可知，阿加莎刚开始写侦探小说，小说The Mysterious Affair at Styles后来得到出版，因此“her debut detective novel”表示 “她的第一本侦探小说”，“The first known”意思为：第一个被知道的，与debut的意思相符。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第三段关键句“She started writing partly in response to a bet from her sister Madge that she couldn’t write a good detective story and partly to ease the tiredness of working in a Red Cross Hospital in Torquay. ”（她开始写作，一方面是为了回应姐姐玛奇打赌她写不出好的侦探小说，另一方面是为了缓解在托基红十字医院工作的疲劳。）可知，阿加莎写侦探小说的一部分原因是她想要向姐姐证明她能写出好的侦探小说。故选A项。
4.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句“During the First World War there were Belgian refugees in most parts of the English countryside, Torquay being no exception. Although he was not based on any particular person, Agatha thought that a Belgian refugee, a former great Belgian policeman, would make an excellent detective for The Mysterious Affair at Styles. Hercule Poirot was born.”（第一次世界大战期间，英国大部分乡村地区都有比利时难民，托基也不例外。 阿加莎认为一个比利时难民，一个曾经了不起的比利时警察，可以成为《斯泰尔斯庄园的神秘事件》中出色的侦探。赫尔克 里·波洛诞生了。）可知，在小说《斯泰尔斯庄园的神秘事件》中，侦探被命名为赫尔克里·波洛。故选B项。
C
The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, "It's a little damp(潮湿的)outside.”Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, "She isn't exactly friendly." Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.
Mr. Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
28. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?
A. The British often enlarge the fact.
B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C. The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.
D. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
29. The author explains understatement by__________.
A. using examples B. making comparisons
C. following time order D. describing a process
30. Mr. Bean makes people laugh by__________.
A. telling funny stories B. making jokes about others' accents
C. copying how others behave D. using his body movements and facial expressions
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. British Humour in Comedy B. Humour in Different Cultures
C. Developing Your Sense of Humour D. Understanding British Humour
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是如何理解英式幽默。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.”及第二段中的“Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.”可知，英国人经常使用轻描淡写，轻描淡写意味着说的比你想的或感觉的要少，所以外国人很难理解英国笑话是因为英国人总是试图让别人觉得事情没有那么重要，故C项正确。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, "It's a little damp(潮湿的)outside.”Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, "She isn't exactly friendly."”可知，作者是通过举在雨中淋湿和不礼貌地对别人大喊大叫的例子的来解释轻描淡写的，故A项正确。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Mr. Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh.”可知，憨豆先生是通过肢体动作和面部表情使人发笑的，故D项正确。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.”及倒数第二段中的“Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.”可知，外国人很难理解英式幽默，要记住的主要一点是英国人经常使用轻描淡写，另一个理解英式幽默的关键是英国人不仅喜欢嘲笑别人还喜欢嘲笑自己，因此本文主要介绍的如何理解英式幽默，故D项正确。
【点睛】如果文章没有统一的主题句，需要根据段落主题总结文章主题，例如本篇第4题，根据第一段中的“However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.”可知，外国人很难理解英式幽默，要记住的主要一点是英国人经常使用轻描淡写，再根据倒数第二段中的“Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.”可知，另一个理解英式幽默的关键是英国人不仅喜欢嘲笑别人还喜欢嘲笑自己，因此本文的主题是如何理解英式幽默。
D
On May 31 a key meeting of the Communist Party of China unveiled a policy that would allow all couples to have up to three children.
The move is expected to maximize the population's role in driving economic and social growth. The three -child policy is also expected to prevent the decline in the nation's birthrate and deal with the challenge of a rapidly aging population,China Daily reported.
China's annual number of newborns has fallen for four years in a row.The country's total birthrate(the average number of children born to each woman)stood-at 1.3 in 2020. The number is below the rate of 2.1 that would maintain a stable population,according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
The declining birthrate has also brought a sharp increase in the proportion of the population aged 60 or above, rising from 10.3 percent to 18.7 percent in the past decade. An increasingly elderly population will cause a lack of young labor force.Therefore,it's not good for economic growth, according to Chen Youhua,a professor at Nanjing University.
In fact,the new birth policy is a step to further relax the family planning policy. The one-child policy was introduced in the 1970s and aimed to control the fast growing population.Then in 2013 China allowed couples to have second child if either parent was an only child,and three years later, all couples were allowed to have two children.
However, not all people have shown their support for this latest policy.Many couples complained about the rising costs of raising a child. A netizen named Qinfeng commented,"High cost of education and both the physical and mental exhaustion stopped me from having more than one child." Also,many women hesitate to give birth because that could mean sacrificing their career prospects,according to Mu Guangzong, a professor at Peking University.
In that case, Mu noted that it is better to take supporting measures with the three-child policy, such as more preferential policies for couples that would ease their parental burden.
32. What might NOT be the main cause for the new policy?
A. To increase the population's role in economic and social development.
B. To maintain a stable population.
C. To keep the birth rate at 1.3.
D. To address the challenge of the aging population.
33. What can be known from the text?
A. China's annual number of newborns has fallen for decades.
B. In 2013.Chinese government allowed all couples to have two children.
C. Sacrificing women's career prospects contributes to their willingness to bear more children.
D. Chinese government has loosened its decades-long family planning policy in recent years.
34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “preferential”?
A. favorable. B. powerful.
C. contradictory. D. neutral
35. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To show the population's role in driving economic and social growth.
B. To introduce the new family size policy.
C. To share his concerns about birthrate and aging population problem.
D. To issue an appeal for easing couples' parental burden.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻。文章介绍了中国颁布了开放三胎新政策。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The country's total birthrate(the average number of children born to each woman)stood-at 1.3 in 2020.”（2020年，中国的总出生率(每个妇女生育孩子的平均数量)为1.3。）可知，为了增加人口出生率才引进的新政策，故而不是为了保持1.3的出生率，故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“The one-child policy was introduced in the 1970s and aimed to control the fast growing population.Then in 2013 China allowed couples to have second child if either parent was an only child,and three years later, all couples were allowed to have two children.”（计划生育政策于20世纪70年代出台，旨在控制快速增长的人口。然后在2013年，中国允许夫妻双方都是独生子女的夫妇生育第二个孩子，三年后，所有夫妇都可以生育两个孩子。）可知，近年来，中国政府放松了实行了几十年的计划生育政策，故选D。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“In that case, Mu noted that it is better to take supporting measures with the three-child policy, such as more preferential policies for couples that would ease their parental burden.”（穆指出，在这种情况下，最好采取三胎政策的配套措施，比如为夫妇提供更多的____政策，以减轻他们的父母负担。）可知，划线词preferential应该是“有利的，优惠的”的意思，故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“On May 31, a key meeting of the Communist Party of China unveiled a policy that would allow all couples to have up to three children.”（5月31日，中国共产党召开重要会议，公布了一项政策，允许所有夫妇最多生育三个孩子。）可知，本文的主要目的是向大家介绍开放三胎的新政策，故选B。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。主要讲述在完成目标时，专注于过程可能会让你更好地去完成目标任务。
【36题详解】
上文“many people take on a perfectionist (完美主义者)attitude”（很多人都采取完美主义者的态度）和“However, the opposite is often true.”（然而，反面也是是正确的。）以及下文“Focusing on progress, instead of perfection”（专注过程，而非完美），说明此处应该指出持完美主义态度可能会造成一些问题，继而引入下文讲述专注过程的好处。故选D。
【37题详解】
由上文“It can give you power to look back and see the progress you've made.”（它会让你能够去回顾自己所取得的进步），可知此处应该是说明专注过程的好处，而且根据can give和can also give，可知F项“It can also strengthen the belief that your goals are within your reach.”（它也能增强你的信念，让你相信目标是你的能力之内的。）是准确答案。故选F。
【38题详解】
由段落第二句“Failures are only learning experiences on the path to achieving your goals.”（失败是在实现目标路上学到的宝贵经验。）句中有learn和failure；同时；此段主要说明失败也是一种经历，能帮助你实现目标。故选B
【39题详解】
由此段前两句“It gives you more reasons to celebrate. By focusing on progress, your eyes are open to each accomplishment, no matter how small.”（它给你理由去庆祝。专注于过程，你就会意识到每一次的成就，不管它有多小。）可知意识到这一点，不管你实现的有多微小，也值得你去庆祝。故选G。
【40题详解】
由上文“There will always be new challenges in life that will drag you away from your target.”（人生中总会有让你偏离目标的新的挑战）以及“You know that the path to success isn’t a straight line.”（你知道，通往成功之路并不是一帆风顺。），说明你意识到了成功之路难免曲折，有了这种认识，就不会被困难起伏击败，就能朝着成功更进一步。故选C。

Dear Me,

Best regards!
Me in 10 years
【答案】Dear ME,
I’m YOU in 10 years!
Knowing that you are curious about what your future job will be like, I’m writing to help you picture it.
In 10 years, you’ll become a psychological consultant. With the advanced technology, there’s no need for patients to consult a doctor in person. Seeing a doctor will be convenient, especially for the disabled or those exposed to autism (孤独症). What they need to do is to put a “headpad” on their heads, and the device will read their mind. By the way, you are the one who will invent the chip of the “headpad”. Thousands of patients have fully recovered thanks to your invention.
Please be confident and work hard to equip yourself with extensive knowledge. Trust me. Hard work will eventually pay off.
Best wishes,
ME in 10 years

67. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
“I never wanted to come on this stupid hiking trip anyway!” Jeff’s voice echoed across the narrow canyon (峡谷). Nothing was as pretty as it had seemed when they first hiked this way to their campsite yesterday morning. Before, the rocks had been an interesting challenge. Now, they were obstacles that were threatening their lives. Steep cliffs had earlier been natural curiosities, but now they were nature’s weapons, beating and rubbing Jeff and his father who pushed through as quickly as they could.
His father stopped for a third time, pale and out of breath, and turned to look at the 12-year-old boy. “This is hard on you, son, I know. But you’ve got to come through with courage and calmness.” “But I’m scared! I don’t even want to have courage!” he complained, turning his head the other way, and wiped his eyes across his arm. “If not courage, fine.” his father replied strictly. “Then have enough love for your sister to think this through!” He gently placed his hand on the boy’s shoulder and continued, more softly this time. “I’m just holding you back. You’re young, but you’re strong and fast. Do you remember the way back from here to the road, if you had to go alone?”
Jeff flashed back to the painful scene of his sister at their campsite this morning. She’d been bitten by a snake, before long she could barely move, and the pain seemed to be getting worse. She needed medical attention right away, so leaving her at the campsite and seeking help was their only choice. “Jeff? Jeff, could you do it? Could you climb up the canyon and make it without me?”
Jeff looked past his father’s encouraging eyes to the end of the canyon, several miles away. He nodded slowly as the path and the plan began to take hold in his mind. “What was the name of that little town we stopped in, Dad?” “Flint. We parked at the side of the main road a few miles out of town.” Jeff thought about this and then nodded.
Paragraph 1:
He waved goodbye to his father and moved on.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally, he made it to the main road.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragragh 1: He waved goodbye to his father and moved on. With great caution, he climbed over sharp rocks, crawled through dead branches and avoided the dangerous creatures, making his way up. At one point, he stopped just to catch his breath when suddenly, he stumbled over a rock and fell. A sharp pain went across his leg. “No, I can’s stop,” he thought, struggling to his feet. With blood dripping down his leg, he limped on. Rising stone by stone, he was closer and closer to the edge.
Paragraph 2: Finally, he made it to the main road. Much to his disappointment, not a single person was in sight. He was just at a loss what to do when he heard the deafening noise of a vehicle. “A truck!” he exclaimed with excitement. Gathering all his energy, he yelled, waving both his arms. The truck pulled over. Anxiously, Jeff explained what happened. The driver instantly called the local rescue team for help. Eventually, Jeff, together with two medical workers, hurried back to the campsite just in time to save his sister.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了作者杰夫和家人在在陡峭的悬崖边露营，但一切不如第一次那么美好。妹妹被蛇咬了。情况紧急，只能靠杰夫和父亲爬过悬崖去外面需要救援。父亲体力不济，鼓励他独自前进。终于对妹妹的爱克服了恐惧和艰难，他翻过悬崖到大路上寻找到救援，最后妹妹及时得到了医治。
【详解】1.段落续写：

②由第二段首句内容“最后，他走到了大路上。”可知，第二段可描写作者在马路边求助，人烟稀少，他通过坚持终于找到救援，让妹妹及时被救治。

M: That is the point. The man was drunk and he died in his dream.

【原文】W: We celebrate Christmas in winter. We have known that Santa Claus sends gifts. But do you know how people celebrate their Christmas when their year-round climate is warm? They have no winters.
For instance, in California, it is warm all the year round. The Christmas traditions there may seem unusual to those used to more traditional images. In Santa Cruz, California, Santa Claus takes his gifts on a surfboard, wearing a red diving suit. As long as he comes carrying presents, Surfing Santa would probably be popular anywhere. In Australia, many young people would go to the beach, enjoying the warm weather with a beach barbecue and cold beer. In recent years, Bondi Beach has become a very popular place for visitors from foreign countries to gather and celebrate. It’s not uncommon for numbers to reach 40,000 on Christmas Day.
While in cooler areas, many young people simply see Christmas as a time to escape their immediate families and celebrate with friends.
第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Antarctica is one of the last untouched frontiers on the planet. Despite its tough conditions, an Antarctic trip is far less dangerous nowadays than in the past. Here are the most popular routes to Antarctica, with different start points, pathways, and modes of transportation.
1. Ship tour from Argentina
Departing from Ushuaia is the most popular route when going to Antarctica from South American ports. Ushuaia is situated closer to Antarctic Peninsula (半岛) than other departure points, hence you can have more time spent on the scenic peninsula admiring icebergs, glaciers and abundant wildlife. There are a variety of ships from Ushuaia to choose.
Duration: 6 to 24 days
Cost: Between USD 6,000 and USD 25,000
Good to know: If you still want to visit some other incredible South American destinations, some suggestions are the Galapagos Islands, Rio de Janeiro and Machu Picchu.
2. Fly-ship tour from Chile
If you want to avoid spending two days crossing the Drake Passage and encounter rough seas in the bad weather, you can choose a fly-ship package. This involves flying to King George Island, which is right off the west coast of Antarctica Peninsula, to join a ship trip. You can also go ashore to experience the same sightseeing and wildlife opportunities.
Duration: 8 days
Cost: Between USD 10000 and USD 15,000
Good to know: If you have limited time and do not wish to spend more time on a ship than is necessary, then the fly-ship option is ideal.
3. Ship tour from Australia or New Zealand
Although you are unlikely to encounter any other ship all the way, you will see huge icebergs, Mount Erebus (an active volcano), emperor penguins, scientific bases and the sites of historic 20th century Antarctic adventures. If you are looking for a feeling of vast isolation and remoteness, this is the trip to take!
Duration: 26 to 30 days
Cost: USD 16,000 and USD 30,000
Good to know: Ships departing from New Zealand and Australia are smaller and carry no more than 50 passengers. These trips are rare and should be booked well in advance.
21. Which of the following is the closest to the Antarctica Peninsula?
A. The Galapagos Island. B. Ushuaia.
C. King George Island. D. Mount Erebus.
22. Where will you set off considering saving the most time on the ship?
A. Argentina. B. Chile. C. Australia. D. New Zealand.
23. Which route is the cheapest about the average daily cost?
A. Ship tour from Argentina. B. Fly tour from Rio de Janeiro.
C. Fly-ship tour from Chile. D. Ship tour from Australia or New Zealand.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D

Agatha Christie, the creator of one of the most enduring figures in crime literature-Hercule Poirot, is the best-selling author of all time.
She was born on 15 September, 1890 in Torquay, South West England, into a comfortably well off middle-class family. Although her mother, Clara, an excellent storyteller, did not want her to learn to read too early, she taught herself to read by the age of five. Agatha read the children’s stories of the time, invented imaginary friends and began writing poems when she was very young. At the age of eleven there was a shock. Her father, not well after suffering financial difficulties, died after a series of heart attacks. There were more money worries and talks of selling their house, but Clara and her daughters managed to find a way forward.
By the age of 18 Agatha was amusing herself with writing short stories. But it was during the First World War that Agatha turned to writing detective stories. Her debut detective novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles took some time to finish and even longer to find a publisher. She started writing partly in response to a bet from her sister Madge that she couldn’t write a good detective story and partly to ease the tiredness of working in a Red Cross Hospital in Torquay. Her new knowledge in poisons was also put to good use. The murderer’s use of poison was so well described that when the book was eventually published Agatha received a special honour for a writer of fiction-a review in Pharmaceutical (药学) Journal.
The inspiration for Hercule Poirot came from Agatha’s own life experience. During the First World War there were Belgian refugees (难民) in most parts of the English countryside, Torquay being no exception. Although he was not based on any particular person, Agatha thought that a Belgian refugee, a former great Belgian policeman, would make an excellent detective for The Mysterious Affair at Styles. Hercule Poirot was born.
24. What can we know about Agatha’s young age?
A. Her mother encouraged her to read. B. Her talent for language was shown.
C. Her father died in a medical accident. D. Her family always had financial problems.
25. What does the underlined word “debut” probably mean?
A. The first known. B. The most thrilling.
C. The best praised. D. The last published.
26. What is one of the reasons why Agatha began to write detective stories?
A. She wanted to prove something to her sister. B. She had nothing else to do during the war.
C. She could use her knowledge of poisons. D. She met a former great Belgium policeman.
27. What happens in The Mysterious Affair at Styles?
A. The murder takes place in Belgium. B. The detective is named Hercule Poirot.
C. Hercule Poirot is born in a refugee’s family. D. A Torquay policeman commits the murder.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇人物传记，讲述了著名侦探小说家阿加莎·克里斯蒂的生活背景、写作经历和第一本侦探小说《斯泰尔斯庄园的神秘事件》的创作灵感。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“Although her mother, Clara, an excellent storyteller, did not want her to learn to read too early, she taught herself to read by the age of five. Agatha read the children’s stories of the time, invented imaginary friends and began writing poems when she was very young. ”（尽管她的母亲克拉拉是一位很会讲故事的人，却不想让她过早地学会阅读，但她在五岁的时候就自学阅读了。 阿加莎读当时的儿童故事，虚构朋友，很小的时候就开始写诗。）可知，在阿加莎很小的时候，语言上的天赋就开始显现了。故选B项。
2.词义猜测题。根据文章第三段关键句“But it was during the First World War that Agatha turned to writing detective stories. Her debut detective novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles took some time to finish and even longer to find a publisher.”（但阿加莎是在第一次世界大战期间开始写侦探小说的。她的____侦探小说《斯泰尔斯庄园的神秘事件》花了一些时间才完成，找出版商的时间甚至更长。）可知，阿加莎刚开始写侦探小说，小说The Mysterious Affair at Styles后来得到出版，因此“her debut detective novel”表示 “她的第一本侦探小说”，“The first known”意思为：第一个被知道的，与debut的意思相符。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第三段关键句“She started writing partly in response to a bet from her sister Madge that she couldn’t write a good detective story and partly to ease the tiredness of working in a Red Cross Hospital in Torquay. ”（她开始写作，一方面是为了回应姐姐玛奇打赌她写不出好的侦探小说，另一方面是为了缓解在托基红十字医院工作的疲劳。）可知，阿加莎写侦探小说的一部分原因是她想要向姐姐证明她能写出好的侦探小说。故选A项。
4.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句“During the First World War there were Belgian refugees in most parts of the English countryside, Torquay being no exception. Although he was not based on any particular person, Agatha thought that a Belgian refugee, a former great Belgian policeman, would make an excellent detective for The Mysterious Affair at Styles. Hercule Poirot was born.”（第一次世界大战期间，英国大部分乡村地区都有比利时难民，托基也不例外。 阿加莎认为一个比利时难民，一个曾经了不起的比利时警察，可以成为《斯泰尔斯庄园的神秘事件》中出色的侦探。赫尔克 里·波洛诞生了。）可知，在小说《斯泰尔斯庄园的神秘事件》中，侦探被命名为赫尔克里·波洛。故选B项。
C
The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, "It's a little damp(潮湿的)outside.”Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, "She isn't exactly friendly." Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.
Mr. Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
28. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?
A. The British often enlarge the fact.
B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C. The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.
D. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
29. The author explains understatement by__________.
A. using examples B. making comparisons
C. following time order D. describing a process
30. Mr. Bean makes people laugh by__________.
A. telling funny stories B. making jokes about others' accents
C. copying how others behave D. using his body movements and facial expressions
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. British Humour in Comedy B. Humour in Different Cultures
C. Developing Your Sense of Humour D. Understanding British Humour
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是如何理解英式幽默。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.”及第二段中的“Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.”可知，英国人经常使用轻描淡写，轻描淡写意味着说的比你想的或感觉的要少，所以外国人很难理解英国笑话是因为英国人总是试图让别人觉得事情没有那么重要，故C项正确。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, "It's a little damp(潮湿的)outside.”Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, "She isn't exactly friendly."”可知，作者是通过举在雨中淋湿和不礼貌地对别人大喊大叫的例子的来解释轻描淡写的，故A项正确。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Mr. Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh.”可知，憨豆先生是通过肢体动作和面部表情使人发笑的，故D项正确。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.”及倒数第二段中的“Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.”可知，外国人很难理解英式幽默，要记住的主要一点是英国人经常使用轻描淡写，另一个理解英式幽默的关键是英国人不仅喜欢嘲笑别人还喜欢嘲笑自己，因此本文主要介绍的如何理解英式幽默，故D项正确。
【点睛】如果文章没有统一的主题句，需要根据段落主题总结文章主题，例如本篇第4题，根据第一段中的“However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.”可知，外国人很难理解英式幽默，要记住的主要一点是英国人经常使用轻描淡写，再根据倒数第二段中的“Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.”可知，另一个理解英式幽默的关键是英国人不仅喜欢嘲笑别人还喜欢嘲笑自己，因此本文的主题是如何理解英式幽默。
D
On May 31 a key meeting of the Communist Party of China unveiled a policy that would allow all couples to have up to three children.
The move is expected to maximize the population's role in driving economic and social growth. The three -child policy is also expected to prevent the decline in the nation's birthrate and deal with the challenge of a rapidly aging population,China Daily reported.
China's annual number of newborns has fallen for four years in a row.The country's total birthrate(the average number of children born to each woman)stood-at 1.3 in 2020. The number is below the rate of 2.1 that would maintain a stable population,according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
The declining birthrate has also brought a sharp increase in the proportion of the population aged 60 or above, rising from 10.3 percent to 18.7 percent in the past decade. An increasingly elderly population will cause a lack of young labor force.Therefore,it's not good for economic growth, according to Chen Youhua,a professor at Nanjing University.
In fact,the new birth policy is a step to further relax the family planning policy. The one-child policy was introduced in the 1970s and aimed to control the fast growing population.Then in 2013 China allowed couples to have second child if either parent was an only child,and three years later, all couples were allowed to have two children.
However, not all people have shown their support for this latest policy.Many couples complained about the rising costs of raising a child. A netizen named Qinfeng commented,"High cost of education and both the physical and mental exhaustion stopped me from having more than one child." Also,many women hesitate to give birth because that could mean sacrificing their career prospects,according to Mu Guangzong, a professor at Peking University.
In that case, Mu noted that it is better to take supporting measures with the three-child policy, such as more preferential policies for couples that would ease their parental burden.
32. What might NOT be the main cause for the new policy?
A. To increase the population's role in economic and social development.
B. To maintain a stable population.
C. To keep the birth rate at 1.3.
D. To address the challenge of the aging population.
33. What can be known from the text?
A. China's annual number of newborns has fallen for decades.
B. In 2013.Chinese government allowed all couples to have two children.
C. Sacrificing women's career prospects contributes to their willingness to bear more children.
D. Chinese government has loosened its decades-long family planning policy in recent years.
34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “preferential”?
A. favorable. B. powerful.
C. contradictory. D. neutral
35. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To show the population's role in driving economic and social growth.
B. To introduce the new family size policy.
C. To share his concerns about birthrate and aging population problem.
D. To issue an appeal for easing couples' parental burden.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻。文章介绍了中国颁布了开放三胎新政策。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The country's total birthrate(the average number of children born to each woman)stood-at 1.3 in 2020.”（2020年，中国的总出生率(每个妇女生育孩子的平均数量)为1.3。）可知，为了增加人口出生率才引进的新政策，故而不是为了保持1.3的出生率，故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“The one-child policy was introduced in the 1970s and aimed to control the fast growing population.Then in 2013 China allowed couples to have second child if either parent was an only child,and three years later, all couples were allowed to have two children.”（计划生育政策于20世纪70年代出台，旨在控制快速增长的人口。然后在2013年，中国允许夫妻双方都是独生子女的夫妇生育第二个孩子，三年后，所有夫妇都可以生育两个孩子。）可知，近年来，中国政府放松了实行了几十年的计划生育政策，故选D。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“In that case, Mu noted that it is better to take supporting measures with the three-child policy, such as more preferential policies for couples that would ease their parental burden.”（穆指出，在这种情况下，最好采取三胎政策的配套措施，比如为夫妇提供更多的____政策，以减轻他们的父母负担。）可知，划线词preferential应该是“有利的，优惠的”的意思，故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“On May 31, a key meeting of the Communist Party of China unveiled a policy that would allow all couples to have up to three children.”（5月31日，中国共产党召开重要会议，公布了一项政策，允许所有夫妇最多生育三个孩子。）可知，本文的主要目的是向大家介绍开放三胎的新政策，故选B。

Dear Me,

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Best regards!
Me in 10 years
【答案】Dear ME,
I’m YOU in 10 years!
Knowing that you are curious about what your future job will be like, I’m writing to help you picture it.
In 10 years, you’ll become a psychological consultant. With the advanced technology, there’s no need for patients to consult a doctor in person. Seeing a doctor will be convenient, especially for the disabled or those exposed to autism (孤独症). What they need to do is to put a “headpad” on their heads, and the device will read their mind. By the way, you are the one who will invent the chip of the “headpad”. Thousands of patients have fully recovered thanks to your invention.
Please be confident and work hard to equip yourself with extensive knowledge. Trust me. Hard work will eventually pay off.
Best wishes,
ME in 10 years

67. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
“I never wanted to come on this stupid hiking trip anyway!” Jeff’s voice echoed across the narrow canyon (峡谷). Nothing was as pretty as it had seemed when they first hiked this way to their campsite yesterday morning. Before, the rocks had been an interesting challenge. Now, they were obstacles that were threatening their lives. Steep cliffs had earlier been natural curiosities, but now they were nature’s weapons, beating and rubbing Jeff and his father who pushed through as quickly as they could.
His father stopped for a third time, pale and out of breath, and turned to look at the 12-year-old boy. “This is hard on you, son, I know. But you’ve got to come through with courage and calmness.” “But I’m scared! I don’t even want to have courage!” he complained, turning his head the other way, and wiped his eyes across his arm. “If not courage, fine.” his father replied strictly. “Then have enough love for your sister to think this through!” He gently placed his hand on the boy’s shoulder and continued, more softly this time. “I’m just holding you back. You’re young, but you’re strong and fast. Do you remember the way back from here to the road, if you had to go alone?”
Jeff flashed back to the painful scene of his sister at their campsite this morning. She’d been bitten by a snake, before long she could barely move, and the pain seemed to be getting worse. She needed medical attention right away, so leaving her at the campsite and seeking help was their only choice. “Jeff? Jeff, could you do it? Could you climb up the canyon and make it without me?”
Jeff looked past his father’s encouraging eyes to the end of the canyon, several miles away. He nodded slowly as the path and the plan began to take hold in his mind. “What was the name of that little town we stopped in, Dad?” “Flint. We parked at the side of the main road a few miles out of town.” Jeff thought about this and then nodded.
Paragraph 1:
He waved goodbye to his father and moved on.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally, he made it to the main road.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragragh 1: He waved goodbye to his father and moved on. With great caution, he climbed over sharp rocks, crawled through dead branches and avoided the dangerous creatures, making his way up. At one point, he stopped just to catch his breath when suddenly, he stumbled over a rock and fell. A sharp pain went across his leg. “No, I can’s stop,” he thought, struggling to his feet. With blood dripping down his leg, he limped on. Rising stone by stone, he was closer and closer to the edge.
Paragraph 2: Finally, he made it to the main road. Much to his disappointment, not a single person was in sight. He was just at a loss what to do when he heard the deafening noise of a vehicle. “A truck!” he exclaimed with excitement. Gathering all his energy, he yelled, waving both his arms. The truck pulled over. Anxiously, Jeff explained what happened. The driver instantly called the local rescue team for help. Eventually, Jeff, together with two medical workers, hurried back to the campsite just in time to save his sister.
