14．（10分）When the air is polluted we wear masks to protect our lungs （肺）.What about bees and butterflies？They can't wear masks.
New Scientist magazine recently reported findings from James Ryalls and his team at the University of Reading，UK.Their study found that air pollution is harmful （有害的） to pollinators （传花粉者） – insects like bees and butterflies.They can't smell flowers because of the pollution.
Pollinators are important.They spread pollen （花粉） among plants with flowers.This helps the flower produce seed and fruit.Without pollinators，farms cannot make food.We all need pollinators.
To do their study，Ryalls' team built eight areas.Then，they piped （吹送） nitrogen oxide （氧化氮） and ozone （臭氧） into six of these areas.The other two areas had normal air.They were the control group.
"The results were much more severe （严重的） than we thought，" said Ryalls.The levels of pollution in their tests were similar to "normal road traffic".In such conditions，70 percent fewer insects entered the area.Once they were there，they didn't hang around.Visits to flowers decreased by up to 90 percent.
Scientists explained that gases like nitrogen oxide and ozone can break down the scents （气味） of flowers.This makes it hard for insects to find their food.
Maybe the most terrible thing is that the researchers created pollution levels that were legal （合法的） in the UK.Shannon Olsson，a scientist in India，called the results "important" because they show that "safe" levels of pollution keep pollinators away.
"Air pollution is another stress on insects，" said Ryalls. "That adds to all the other stresses causing their numbers to decline （减少）."
（1）What problem may air pollution cause to pollinators？
A.They may have less food to eat.
B.They may eat more fruit and vegetables.
C.They can't smell flowers，so they spread（传播）less pollen.
D.They may stop flowers giving out scents.
（2）How did the scientists do the research？
A.They recorded（记录）insects' activities on farms next to busy roads.
B.They brought clean air to places with severe air pollution.
C.They piped nitrogen oxide and ozone into eight areas.
D.They compared（比较）insect behavior in areas with polluted air and normal air.
（3）What happened to pollinators in areas with air pollution？
A.They found food more easily.
B.They could not find each other.
C.They hung out（外出）more often.
D.They visited flowers less.
（4）What does Paragraph 7 show？
A.Pollinators will only work in a "safe" environment.
B.Even "safe" levels of pollution influence（影响）pollinators badly.
C.The law will have less control over air pollution.
D.An environment that is safe for insects is not safe for humans.
（5）What is the experiment in the passage mainly about？
A.The influence of air pollution on pollinating insects.
B.Different levels of air pollution in the UK.
C.Stresses that insects are facing.
D.Causes of air pollution in big cities.
15．（10分）During the two sessions（两会），people around the world talk about China.Have you ever wondered what topics Generation Z （people born 1995﹣2009）are most interested in？In March 2022，China Daily did a survey on topics of the two sessions to see what interests Generation Zers most.Let's take a look.
Among all topics， "mental health" got the most votes. "Spreading traditional culture" （83%） followed closely. The top choice is not unexpected.Reports on mental health problems of teenagers have increased in recent years.The rate of depression （ 抑郁） among them was nearly 25%.The attention they give to mental health shows that they care for their own well﹣being.When they don't feel well，they will speak out and ask for help.
Although Generation Zers are young，they understand the power of traditional culture.They believe that China is deeply rooted in traditional culture and would like to spread it to the world.Zhao Yan，a junior 2 student from Liaoning Riwan Middle School，said， "My school set up many clubs to help students understand the importance of traditional culture.I join a paper﹣cutting workshop and a hanfu club.I have learned a lot.I made a tiger﹣shaped paper﹣cutting.It has not only helped me practise my handwork skills but also let me know the beauty of art.It's our duty to pass this great art to future generations."
Instead of only care about themselves，Generation Zers also set their eyes on social problems.Kevin Xu，a 16﹣year﹣old boy from Shenzhen，told the reporter." I care about the prevention and control measures （防治措施） of COVID﹣19.I'm now studying in the UK.In February，the UK government ended quarantine （隔离） rules.It means that COVID﹣19 patients can go out.This would never happen in China!I think China's "dynamic zero﹣case" policy （动态清零政策） sounds more responsible.A country should protect its people in a pandemic."
People seem to know little about Generation Zers.Thanks to this survey，we are able to take a closer look at "what Generation Zers care about" and paint a picture of what they are like.
（1）According to the passage，what might be the percent of votes of mental health in the survey？
A.95%
B.84%
C.55%
D.82%
（2）What does the author mean by saying， "The top choice is not unexpected." ？
A.It is happy to find teenagers pay attention to their own health.
B.The author is surprised that the mental health problems of teenagers are serious.
C.The author is surprised that the rate of depression is unexpectedly high.
D.It's known to all that the mental health problems of teenagers are serious.
（3）According to the third paragraph，what is Zhao Yan like？
A.Creative（有创造力的） and artistic.
B.Lazy and selfish（自私的）.
C.Impolite and unsocial.
D.Clever and expressive（富有表现力的）.
（4）What can we infer（推断） from the fourth paragraph？
A.Kevin Xu studies in the UK and he is happy with everything there.
B.Kevin Xu agrees with the control measures of COVID﹣19 in the UK.
C.Kevin Xu thinks China's "dynamic zero﹣case" policy is a wise decision.
D.Kevin Xu thinks it's fine for COVID﹣19 patients to go out.
（5）What is the structure of this passage？
A.①/②③④⑤
B.①/②/③④/⑤
C.①/②③/④⑤
D.①/②③④/⑤
五、任务型阅读（共1小题，每空2 分，计 20 分）
16．（20分）Sometimes，we see some people reading books while biting （咬） their nails （指甲）.We may think it is a kind of behavior that means they are focused （专心的）.But in fact，it is more than that and science has proved it.
Nail biting can begin at an early age.According to the BBC，up to 45 percent of teenagers bite their nails.
There is not an exact answer to explain why people bite their nails.But most commonly，nail biting is said to be a nervous habit.It is done because of stress，boredom or excitement.
What's more，scientists found that people with higher levels of intelligence （智力） are the ones who start biting their nails at an early age.They believe that compared with the average person，those with higher levels of intelligence may feel higher levels of stress more easily.
This habit is bad for the biters.It can give them red or sore fingertips.And long﹣term nail biting can affect （影响） how our nails grow.
But don't worry!There are many ways to stop biting your nails.First，keep your nails clean.The more you focus on （集中于） taking care of your nails，the less likely you are to start biting them again.Also，when you feel stressed，try to relax.Doing exercise or having a warm bath both help.
Nail biting

*It can start when people are（1） .
*Up to 45 percent of teenagers have the（2） .

六、语篇填空（共1小题，每题2分，计20分）

One day I（2） some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow.My guests and I were excited from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting.We chatted（3） （warm） until the waiter told me that we were talking too loud.We turned our voices lower.But this didn't last long.The waiter came over to us two（4）_ times with the same message.
How bad an impression （印象） we must have left on the local people!It is（5）__ （nature ）and important for a host to create a lively atmosphere （气氛）. （6） ，public place means you must keep your voice low.You need to be polite to others.
I（7） （feel） bad about this.Even though we tried our best，it's very difficult to develop a new habit.Russians have their own special habits.My Russian friend，Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before（8） （leave） home.I asked him why he did this.

14．（10分）When the air is polluted we wear masks to protect our lungs （肺）.What about bees and butterflies？They can't wear masks.
New Scientist magazine recently reported findings from James Ryalls and his team at the University of Reading，UK.Their study found that air pollution is harmful （有害的） to pollinators （传花粉者） – insects like bees and butterflies.They can't smell flowers because of the pollution.
Pollinators are important.They spread pollen （花粉） among plants with flowers.This helps the flower produce seed and fruit.Without pollinators，farms cannot make food.We all need pollinators.
To do their study，Ryalls' team built eight areas.Then，they piped （吹送） nitrogen oxide （氧化氮） and ozone （臭氧） into six of these areas.The other two areas had normal air.They were the control group.
"The results were much more severe （严重的） than we thought，" said Ryalls.The levels of pollution in their tests were similar to "normal road traffic".In such conditions，70 percent fewer insects entered the area.Once they were there，they didn't hang around.Visits to flowers decreased by up to 90 percent.
Scientists explained that gases like nitrogen oxide and ozone can break down the scents （气味） of flowers.This makes it hard for insects to find their food.
Maybe the most terrible thing is that the researchers created pollution levels that were legal （合法的） in the UK.Shannon Olsson，a scientist in India，called the results "important" because they show that "safe" levels of pollution keep pollinators away.
"Air pollution is another stress on insects，" said Ryalls. "That adds to all the other stresses causing their numbers to decline （减少）."
（1）What problem may air pollution cause to pollinators？ C
A.They may have less food to eat.
B.They may eat more fruit and vegetables.
C.They can't smell flowers，so they spread（传播）less pollen.
D.They may stop flowers giving out scents.
（2）How did the scientists do the research？ D
A.They recorded（记录）insects' activities on farms next to busy roads.
B.They brought clean air to places with severe air pollution.
C.They piped nitrogen oxide and ozone into eight areas.
D.They compared（比较）insect behavior in areas with polluted air and normal air.
（3）What happened to pollinators in areas with air pollution？ D
A.They found food more easily.
B.They could not find each other.
C.They hung out（外出）more often.
D.They visited flowers less.
（4）What does Paragraph 7 show？ B
A.Pollinators will only work in a "safe" environment.
B.Even "safe" levels of pollution influence（影响）pollinators badly.
C.The law will have less control over air pollution.
D.An environment that is safe for insects is not safe for humans.
（5）What is the experiment in the passage mainly about？ A
A.The influence of air pollution on pollinating insects.
B.Different levels of air pollution in the UK.
C.Stresses that insects are facing.
D.Causes of air pollution in big cities.
【分析】文章通过实验介绍了关于空气污染对传递花粉的昆虫的影响。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据Their study found that air pollution is harmful （有害的） to pollinators （传花粉者） – insects like bees and butterflies.They can't smell flowers because of the pollution.（他们的研究发现，空气污染对传粉昆虫有害，比如蜜蜂和蝴蝶。因为污染，它们闻不到花香。）可知它们闻不到花香，所以它们传播花粉少。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据To do their study，Ryalls' team built eight areas.Then，they piped （吹送） nitrogen oxide （氧化氮） and ozone （臭氧） into six of these areas.The other two areas had normal air.They were the control group.（为了进行研究，Ryalls的团队建造了八个区域。然后，他们将氮氧化物和臭氧输送到其中的六个区域。其他两个地区空气正常。它们是对照组。）可知他们比较了空气受污染和空气正常的地区的昆虫行为。故选D。
（3）理解判断题。根据In such conditions，70 percent fewer insects entered the area.Once they were there，they didn't hang around.Visits to flowers decreased by up to 90 percent. （在这种条件下，进入该区域的昆虫减少了70%。一旦它们到了那里，他们就不再逗留了。昆虫接近花的次数减少了90%。）可知D项符合文意。故选D。
（4）理解判断题。根据Maybe the most terrible thing is that the researchers created pollution levels that were legal （合法的） in the UK.Shannon Olsson，a scientist in India，called the results "important" because they show that "safe" levels of pollution keep pollinators away.（也许最可怕的是，研究人员创造了在英国合法的污染水平。印度科学家Shannon Olsson称这些结果"重要"，因为它们表明"安全"水平的污染会让传粉者远离。）可知即使是"安全"水平的污染也会严重影响授粉者。故选B。
（5）理解判断题。根据New Scientist magazine recently reported findings from James Ryalls and his team at the University of Reading，UK.Their study found that air pollution is harmful （有害的） to pollinators （传花粉者） – insects like bees and butterflies.They can't smell flowers because of the pollution.（《新科学家》杂志最近报道了英国雷丁大学的James Ryalls及其团队的发现。他们的研究发现，空气污染对传粉昆虫有害，比如蜜蜂和蝴蝶。因为污染，他们闻不到花香。）可知实验主要是关于空气污染对传粉昆虫的影响。故选A。

15．（10分）During the two sessions（两会），people around the world talk about China.Have you ever wondered what topics Generation Z （people born 1995﹣2009）are most interested in？In March 2022，China Daily did a survey on topics of the two sessions to see what interests Generation Zers most.Let's take a look.
Among all topics， "mental health" got the most votes. "Spreading traditional culture" （83%） followed closely. The top choice is not unexpected.Reports on mental health problems of teenagers have increased in recent years.The rate of depression （ 抑郁） among them was nearly 25%.The attention they give to mental health shows that they care for their own well﹣being.When they don't feel well，they will speak out and ask for help.
Although Generation Zers are young，they understand the power of traditional culture.They believe that China is deeply rooted in traditional culture and would like to spread it to the world.Zhao Yan，a junior 2 student from Liaoning Riwan Middle School，said， "My school set up many clubs to help students understand the importance of traditional culture.I join a paper﹣cutting workshop and a hanfu club.I have learned a lot.I made a tiger﹣shaped paper﹣cutting.It has not only helped me practise my handwork skills but also let me know the beauty of art.It's our duty to pass this great art to future generations."
Instead of only care about themselves，Generation Zers also set their eyes on social problems.Kevin Xu，a 16﹣year﹣old boy from Shenzhen，told the reporter." I care about the prevention and control measures （防治措施） of COVID﹣19.I'm now studying in the UK.In February，the UK government ended quarantine （隔离） rules.It means that COVID﹣19 patients can go out.This would never happen in China!I think China's "dynamic zero﹣case" policy （动态清零政策） sounds more responsible.A country should protect its people in a pandemic."
People seem to know little about Generation Zers.Thanks to this survey，we are able to take a closer look at "what Generation Zers care about" and paint a picture of what they are like.

【分析】本文主要介绍了当代00后青少年最关心的热点话题分别是：心理健康，传播传统文化，还有像新冠肺炎疫情这种社会问题。
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据Among all topics， " mental health" got the most votes （投票）. " Spreading traditional culture" （83%） followed closely.（在所有话题中，"心理健康"获得了最多的投票。"传播传统文化"（83%）紧随其后。）可知，"心理健康"获得了最的投票，"传播传统文化"是占83%紧随其后，由此可推断"心理健康"的投票是大于83%，且与83%相近，故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据Reports on mental health problems of teenagers have increased in recent years.（近年来，关于青少年心理健康问题的报道有所增加。）可知，近年来，关于青少年心理健康问题的报道有所增加，所以对于"心理健康"这个问题的关注度最高是意料之中的，故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据I join a paper﹣cutting workshop and a hanfu club.I have learned a lot.I made a tiger﹣shaped paper﹣cutting.It has not only helped me practise my handwork skills but also let me know the beauty of art.（我加入了剪纸工作室和汉服俱乐部。我学到了很多。我做了一个老虎形状的剪纸。它不仅帮助我练习了我的手工技能，还让我知道了艺术的美。）可知，她是有创造力和艺术美感，故选A。

五、任务型阅读（共1小题，每空2 分，计 20 分）
16．（20分）Sometimes，we see some people reading books while biting （咬） their nails （指甲）.We may think it is a kind of behavior that means they are focused （专心的）.But in fact，it is more than that and science has proved it.
Nail biting can begin at an early age.According to the BBC，up to 45 percent of teenagers bite their nails.
There is not an exact answer to explain why people bite their nails.But most commonly，nail biting is said to be a nervous habit.It is done because of stress，boredom or excitement.
What's more，scientists found that people with higher levels of intelligence （智力） are the ones who start biting their nails at an early age.They believe that compared with the average person，those with higher levels of intelligence may feel higher levels of stress more easily.
This habit is bad for the biters.It can give them red or sore fingertips.And long﹣term nail biting can affect （影响） how our nails grow.
But don't worry!There are many ways to stop biting your nails.First，keep your nails clean.The more you focus on （集中于） taking care of your nails，the less likely you are to start biting them again.Also，when you feel stressed，try to relax.Doing exercise or having a warm bath both help.

14．（10分）When the air is polluted we wear masks to protect our lungs （肺）.What about bees and butterflies？They can't wear masks.
New Scientist magazine recently reported findings from James Ryalls and his team at the University of Reading，UK.Their study found that air pollution is harmful （有害的） to pollinators （传花粉者） – insects like bees and butterflies.They can't smell flowers because of the pollution.
Pollinators are important.They spread pollen （花粉） among plants with flowers.This helps the flower produce seed and fruit.Without pollinators，farms cannot make food.We all need pollinators.
To do their study，Ryalls' team built eight areas.Then，they piped （吹送） nitrogen oxide （氧化氮） and ozone （臭氧） into six of these areas.The other two areas had normal air.They were the control group.
"The results were much more severe （严重的） than we thought，" said Ryalls.The levels of pollution in their tests were similar to "normal road traffic".In such conditions，70 percent fewer insects entered the area.Once they were there，they didn't hang around.Visits to flowers decreased by up to 90 percent.
Scientists explained that gases like nitrogen oxide and ozone can break down the scents （气味） of flowers.This makes it hard for insects to find their food.
Maybe the most terrible thing is that the researchers created pollution levels that were legal （合法的） in the UK.Shannon Olsson，a scientist in India，called the results "important" because they show that "safe" levels of pollution keep pollinators away.
"Air pollution is another stress on insects，" said Ryalls. "That adds to all the other stresses causing their numbers to decline （减少）."
（1）What problem may air pollution cause to pollinators？
A.They may have less food to eat.
B.They may eat more fruit and vegetables.
C.They can't smell flowers，so they spread（传播）less pollen.
D.They may stop flowers giving out scents.
（2）How did the scientists do the research？
A.They recorded（记录）insects' activities on farms next to busy roads.
B.They brought clean air to places with severe air pollution.
C.They piped nitrogen oxide and ozone into eight areas.
D.They compared（比较）insect behavior in areas with polluted air and normal air.
（3）What happened to pollinators in areas with air pollution？
A.They found food more easily.
B.They could not find each other.
C.They hung out（外出）more often.
D.They visited flowers less.
（4）What does Paragraph 7 show？
A.Pollinators will only work in a "safe" environment.
B.Even "safe" levels of pollution influence（影响）pollinators badly.
C.The law will have less control over air pollution.
D.An environment that is safe for insects is not safe for humans.
（5）What is the experiment in the passage mainly about？
A.The influence of air pollution on pollinating insects.
B.Different levels of air pollution in the UK.
C.Stresses that insects are facing.
D.Causes of air pollution in big cities.
15．（10分）During the two sessions（两会），people around the world talk about China.Have you ever wondered what topics Generation Z （people born 1995﹣2009）are most interested in？In March 2022，China Daily did a survey on topics of the two sessions to see what interests Generation Zers most.Let's take a look.
Among all topics， "mental health" got the most votes. "Spreading traditional culture" （83%） followed closely. The top choice is not unexpected.Reports on mental health problems of teenagers have increased in recent years.The rate of depression （ 抑郁） among them was nearly 25%.The attention they give to mental health shows that they care for their own well﹣being.When they don't feel well，they will speak out and ask for help.
Although Generation Zers are young，they understand the power of traditional culture.They believe that China is deeply rooted in traditional culture and would like to spread it to the world.Zhao Yan，a junior 2 student from Liaoning Riwan Middle School，said， "My school set up many clubs to help students understand the importance of traditional culture.I join a paper﹣cutting workshop and a hanfu club.I have learned a lot.I made a tiger﹣shaped paper﹣cutting.It has not only helped me practise my handwork skills but also let me know the beauty of art.It's our duty to pass this great art to future generations."
Instead of only care about themselves，Generation Zers also set their eyes on social problems.Kevin Xu，a 16﹣year﹣old boy from Shenzhen，told the reporter." I care about the prevention and control measures （防治措施） of COVID﹣19.I'm now studying in the UK.In February，the UK government ended quarantine （隔离） rules.It means that COVID﹣19 patients can go out.This would never happen in China!I think China's "dynamic zero﹣case" policy （动态清零政策） sounds more responsible.A country should protect its people in a pandemic."
People seem to know little about Generation Zers.Thanks to this survey，we are able to take a closer look at "what Generation Zers care about" and paint a picture of what they are like.
（1）According to the passage，what might be the percent of votes of mental health in the survey？
A.95%
B.84%
C.55%
D.82%
（2）What does the author mean by saying， "The top choice is not unexpected." ？
A.It is happy to find teenagers pay attention to their own health.
B.The author is surprised that the mental health problems of teenagers are serious.
C.The author is surprised that the rate of depression is unexpectedly high.
D.It's known to all that the mental health problems of teenagers are serious.
（3）According to the third paragraph，what is Zhao Yan like？
A.Creative（有创造力的） and artistic.
B.Lazy and selfish（自私的）.
C.Impolite and unsocial.
D.Clever and expressive（富有表现力的）.
（4）What can we infer（推断） from the fourth paragraph？
A.Kevin Xu studies in the UK and he is happy with everything there.
B.Kevin Xu agrees with the control measures of COVID﹣19 in the UK.
C.Kevin Xu thinks China's "dynamic zero﹣case" policy is a wise decision.
D.Kevin Xu thinks it's fine for COVID﹣19 patients to go out.
（5）What is the structure of this passage？
A.①/②③④⑤
B.①/②/③④/⑤
C.①/②③/④⑤
D.①/②③④/⑤
五、任务型阅读（共1小题，每空2 分，计 20 分）
16．（20分）Sometimes，we see some people reading books while biting （咬） their nails （指甲）.We may think it is a kind of behavior that means they are focused （专心的）.But in fact，it is more than that and science has proved it.
Nail biting can begin at an early age.According to the BBC，up to 45 percent of teenagers bite their nails.
There is not an exact answer to explain why people bite their nails.But most commonly，nail biting is said to be a nervous habit.It is done because of stress，boredom or excitement.
What's more，scientists found that people with higher levels of intelligence （智力） are the ones who start biting their nails at an early age.They believe that compared with the average person，those with higher levels of intelligence may feel higher levels of stress more easily.
This habit is bad for the biters.It can give them red or sore fingertips.And long﹣term nail biting can affect （影响） how our nails grow.
But don't worry!There are many ways to stop biting your nails.First，keep your nails clean.The more you focus on （集中于） taking care of your nails，the less likely you are to start biting them again.Also，when you feel stressed，try to relax.Doing exercise or having a warm bath both help.
Nail biting

*It can start when people are（1） .
*Up to 45 percent of teenagers have the（2） .

D．has opened，opened
【分析】﹣﹣﹣你知道这家店开了多久了吗？
﹣﹣﹣三年了。我记得它是在一个阳光明媚的日子开门的。
【解答】根据时间状语 on a sunny day，可知第二句时态为一般过去时态，动词使用过去式，故用opened，排除AC。根据第一句的how long和答语"For three years"，可知第一句的时态为现在完成时态，其结构为：have/has +过去分词。句中的动词要用延续性动词，动词open是短暂性动词，不能跟一段时间，排除D；has been open表示"已经开了"，表示状态，可以跟一段时间，此处open是形容词。

【分析】﹣﹣﹣我现在找不到汤姆了。
﹣﹣﹣哦，他和他的朋友已经去超市买一些零食了。
【解答】根据上文"I can't find Tom now.""我现在找不到汤姆了。"可知答语句意为"他和他的朋友已经去超市买一些零食了。"，可确定此题时态为现在完成时态，其结构为：have/has +过去分词。短语has gone to表示"去了"，has been to表示"去过"，排除AD。he 后有介词短语with his friends修饰，句子真正的主语是he，故谓语动词用单数，故用has gone to。

14．（10分）When the air is polluted we wear masks to protect our lungs （肺）.What about bees and butterflies？They can't wear masks.
New Scientist magazine recently reported findings from James Ryalls and his team at the University of Reading，UK.Their study found that air pollution is harmful （有害的） to pollinators （传花粉者） – insects like bees and butterflies.They can't smell flowers because of the pollution.
Pollinators are important.They spread pollen （花粉） among plants with flowers.This helps the flower produce seed and fruit.Without pollinators，farms cannot make food.We all need pollinators.
To do their study，Ryalls' team built eight areas.Then，they piped （吹送） nitrogen oxide （氧化氮） and ozone （臭氧） into six of these areas.The other two areas had normal air.They were the control group.
"The results were much more severe （严重的） than we thought，" said Ryalls.The levels of pollution in their tests were similar to "normal road traffic".In such conditions，70 percent fewer insects entered the area.Once they were there，they didn't hang around.Visits to flowers decreased by up to 90 percent.
Scientists explained that gases like nitrogen oxide and ozone can break down the scents （气味） of flowers.This makes it hard for insects to find their food.
Maybe the most terrible thing is that the researchers created pollution levels that were legal （合法的） in the UK.Shannon Olsson，a scientist in India，called the results "important" because they show that "safe" levels of pollution keep pollinators away.
"Air pollution is another stress on insects，" said Ryalls. "That adds to all the other stresses causing their numbers to decline （减少）."
（1）What problem may air pollution cause to pollinators？ C
A.They may have less food to eat.
B.They may eat more fruit and vegetables.
C.They can't smell flowers，so they spread（传播）less pollen.
D.They may stop flowers giving out scents.
（2）How did the scientists do the research？ D
A.They recorded（记录）insects' activities on farms next to busy roads.
B.They brought clean air to places with severe air pollution.
C.They piped nitrogen oxide and ozone into eight areas.
D.They compared（比较）insect behavior in areas with polluted air and normal air.
（3）What happened to pollinators in areas with air pollution？ D
A.They found food more easily.
B.They could not find each other.
C.They hung out（外出）more often.
D.They visited flowers less.
（4）What does Paragraph 7 show？ B
A.Pollinators will only work in a "safe" environment.
B.Even "safe" levels of pollution influence（影响）pollinators badly.
C.The law will have less control over air pollution.
D.An environment that is safe for insects is not safe for humans.
（5）What is the experiment in the passage mainly about？ A
A.The influence of air pollution on pollinating insects.
B.Different levels of air pollution in the UK.
C.Stresses that insects are facing.
D.Causes of air pollution in big cities.
【分析】文章通过实验介绍了关于空气污染对传递花粉的昆虫的影响。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据Their study found that air pollution is harmful （有害的） to pollinators （传花粉者） – insects like bees and butterflies.They can't smell flowers because of the pollution.（他们的研究发现，空气污染对传粉昆虫有害，比如蜜蜂和蝴蝶。因为污染，它们闻不到花香。）可知它们闻不到花香，所以它们传播花粉少。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据To do their study，Ryalls' team built eight areas.Then，they piped （吹送） nitrogen oxide （氧化氮） and ozone （臭氧） into six of these areas.The other two areas had normal air.They were the control group.（为了进行研究，Ryalls的团队建造了八个区域。然后，他们将氮氧化物和臭氧输送到其中的六个区域。其他两个地区空气正常。它们是对照组。）可知他们比较了空气受污染和空气正常的地区的昆虫行为。故选D。
（3）理解判断题。根据In such conditions，70 percent fewer insects entered the area.Once they were there，they didn't hang around.Visits to flowers decreased by up to 90 percent. （在这种条件下，进入该区域的昆虫减少了70%。一旦它们到了那里，他们就不再逗留了。昆虫接近花的次数减少了90%。）可知D项符合文意。故选D。
（4）理解判断题。根据Maybe the most terrible thing is that the researchers created pollution levels that were legal （合法的） in the UK.Shannon Olsson，a scientist in India，called the results "important" because they show that "safe" levels of pollution keep pollinators away.（也许最可怕的是，研究人员创造了在英国合法的污染水平。印度科学家Shannon Olsson称这些结果"重要"，因为它们表明"安全"水平的污染会让传粉者远离。）可知即使是"安全"水平的污染也会严重影响授粉者。故选B。
（5）理解判断题。根据New Scientist magazine recently reported findings from James Ryalls and his team at the University of Reading，UK.Their study found that air pollution is harmful （有害的） to pollinators （传花粉者） – insects like bees and butterflies.They can't smell flowers because of the pollution.（《新科学家》杂志最近报道了英国雷丁大学的James Ryalls及其团队的发现。他们的研究发现，空气污染对传粉昆虫有害，比如蜜蜂和蝴蝶。因为污染，他们闻不到花香。）可知实验主要是关于空气污染对传粉昆虫的影响。故选A。

15．（10分）During the two sessions（两会），people around the world talk about China.Have you ever wondered what topics Generation Z （people born 1995﹣2009）are most interested in？In March 2022，China Daily did a survey on topics of the two sessions to see what interests Generation Zers most.Let's take a look.
Among all topics， "mental health" got the most votes. "Spreading traditional culture" （83%） followed closely. The top choice is not unexpected.Reports on mental health problems of teenagers have increased in recent years.The rate of depression （ 抑郁） among them was nearly 25%.The attention they give to mental health shows that they care for their own well﹣being.When they don't feel well，they will speak out and ask for help.
Although Generation Zers are young，they understand the power of traditional culture.They believe that China is deeply rooted in traditional culture and would like to spread it to the world.Zhao Yan，a junior 2 student from Liaoning Riwan Middle School，said， "My school set up many clubs to help students understand the importance of traditional culture.I join a paper﹣cutting workshop and a hanfu club.I have learned a lot.I made a tiger﹣shaped paper﹣cutting.It has not only helped me practise my handwork skills but also let me know the beauty of art.It's our duty to pass this great art to future generations."
Instead of only care about themselves，Generation Zers also set their eyes on social problems.Kevin Xu，a 16﹣year﹣old boy from Shenzhen，told the reporter." I care about the prevention and control measures （防治措施） of COVID﹣19.I'm now studying in the UK.In February，the UK government ended quarantine （隔离） rules.It means that COVID﹣19 patients can go out.This would never happen in China!I think China's "dynamic zero﹣case" policy （动态清零政策） sounds more responsible.A country should protect its people in a pandemic."
People seem to know little about Generation Zers.Thanks to this survey，we are able to take a closer look at "what Generation Zers care about" and paint a picture of what they are like.

D.①/②③④/⑤
【分析】本文主要介绍了当代00后青少年最关心的热点话题分别是：心理健康，传播传统文化，还有像新冠肺炎疫情这种社会问题。
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据Among all topics， " mental health" got the most votes （投票）. " Spreading traditional culture" （83%） followed closely.（在所有话题中，"心理健康"获得了最多的投票。"传播传统文化"（83%）紧随其后。）可知，"心理健康"获得了最的投票，"传播传统文化"是占83%紧随其后，由此可推断"心理健康"的投票是大于83%，且与83%相近，故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据Reports on mental health problems of teenagers have increased in recent years.（近年来，关于青少年心理健康问题的报道有所增加。）可知，近年来，关于青少年心理健康问题的报道有所增加，所以对于"心理健康"这个问题的关注度最高是意料之中的，故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据I join a paper﹣cutting workshop and a hanfu club.I have learned a lot.I made a tiger﹣shaped paper﹣cutting.It has not only helped me practise my handwork skills but also let me know the beauty of art.（我加入了剪纸工作室和汉服俱乐部。我学到了很多。我做了一个老虎形状的剪纸。它不仅帮助我练习了我的手工技能，还让我知道了艺术的美。）可知，她是有创造力和艺术美感，故选A。

五、任务型阅读（共1小题，每空2 分，计 20 分）
16．（20分）Sometimes，we see some people reading books while biting （咬） their nails （指甲）.We may think it is a kind of behavior that means they are focused （专心的）.But in fact，it is more than that and science has proved it.
Nail biting can begin at an early age.According to the BBC，up to 45 percent of teenagers bite their nails.
There is not an exact answer to explain why people bite their nails.But most commonly，nail biting is said to be a nervous habit.It is done because of stress，boredom or excitement.
What's more，scientists found that people with higher levels of intelligence （智力） are the ones who start biting their nails at an early age.They believe that compared with the average person，those with higher levels of intelligence may feel higher levels of stress more easily.
This habit is bad for the biters.It can give them red or sore fingertips.And long﹣term nail biting can affect （影响） how our nails grow.
But don't worry!There are many ways to stop biting your nails.First，keep your nails clean.The more you focus on （集中于） taking care of your nails，the less likely you are to start biting them again.Also，when you feel stressed，try to relax.Doing exercise or having a warm bath both help.

【分析】本文主要讲了作者在莫斯科邀请一些朋友吃饭时，声音很大，服务员提醒他们小声，作者认为这很糟糕，但是他需要适应新的环境和习惯。

（2）考查动词过去式。句意：我邀请了我的一些中国朋友到莫斯科当地一家著名的餐馆吃饭。invite"邀请"符合题意，根据One day判断时态为一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。故答案为invited。
