It was taught to him by a teacher in his schooling years, and means “Only those who work hard will get what they want”.“I love this, not only because of the meaning, but the fact that the word ‘man’ in the saying reminds me of myself since my name ends with ‘Man’. So, it’s like an inner voice that reminds me to give my best in everything, and therefore I live with that philosophy in my life. I am currently a lecturer at University Malaysia Sarawak, majoring in English Language teaching and Cognitive Linguistics,” explains Chuah.Asked what the best part about being Malaysian is, he answers: “Being able to learn and embrace the diversity of cultures, languages and beliefs of the different races living together in Malaysia, without the fear of losing one’s own identity. I personally believe I have grown into a unique breed – of ‘a Malaysian first’ – whereby I can speak multiple languages fluently and also appreciate various cultural practices openly.”Being in Malaysia, Chuah feels that everyone has the right to highlight their differences, even if they come from different backgrounds.“We can still come together in sharing some common humanitarian values that we hold in our respective communities. Living in a rural area of Sarawak, we still share many common national borders and values and a love for peace and harmony among my family and the people here.”Chuah concludes: “Even if we disagree on certain things, we still continue to respect each other with the knowledge that none of us wants to do any harm. Because at the end of the day, we get to know each other more and become better Malaysians for it.”Why is Chuah fond of the Arabic saying?A. Because it was taught by his favorite teacher.B. Because it stresses the importance of setting goals. C. Because his name has the same meaning as the saying. D. Because it reminds him to spare no efforts to do things. 25. Which saying can best explain Chuah’s life philosophy?A. Great minds think alike. B. Diligence is the mother of success.C. Good advice is beyond all price. D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.26. What is the biggest advantage of being Malaysian in Chuah’s opinion? A. Experiencing various cultures without losing one’s own identity.B. Being a successful English lecturer easily. C. Having the chance to get all he wants. D. Speaking multiple languages fluently.27. What does Chuah mainly stress in the last two paragraphs?A. People should hold the same beliefs. B. Sharing common humanitarian values is not easy.C. It’s vital to respect and live in harmony with each other. D. It’s unacceptable to disagree on certain things. COver the past decade, drug-resistant diseases have appeared as a major health threat. But where do they develop the drug resistance? One surprising theory: they may have developed the resistance on farms, and not in hospitals.The crop protection products farmers use to control many plant diseases are almost the same as the drugs doctors use to treat infections, including fungi(真菌). Fungi are continually mutating(变异), and with a life cycle measured in days or weeks, they mutate quickly. When a mutation produces resistance to a chemical-killing fungi, fungi will jump to any host that provides a welcoming environment, such as a human body. And if the treatment for the fungal infection involves a drug similar to the fungicide encountered on the farm, fungi may develop quickly in the human body---just as they did in the field.An obvious solution is to use less fungicide in the field. Reducing fungicide use would not only slow the development of the drug resistance, it would help restore diversity to the fungal world. Fungicides are a must in the farming community. Plant diseases pose a major problem for farmers globally--in some crops, disease can reduce harvests by more than 70 percent--and failure to deal with the problem can mean financial ruin.Just like fungi---or, indeed, any living thing---plants continually evolve. This is how natural gene editing (基因编辑）works, and without it, we'd all still be single cells in a salty soup. Through natural selection, almost any plant will eventually produce resistance to fungi. But this can take centuries, so we don't have the time to wait.On the other hand, advances in genetics have given us an understanding of nature's gene editing process in plants, helping us develop resistance to a disease. Gene editing techniques can then enable us to produce disease resistance---just as nature would do, if given enough time. What can we infer about fungi from Paragraph 2?A. They can treat infection sometimes.B. They don't stop developing new forms.C. A human body is their favorite place.D.There are no fungi in the fields now.29.What does the writer indicate in Paragraph 3?A. Using fungicide leads to a win-win situationB. Stopping using fungicide is a cure-all in agriculture.C. Reducing fungicide helps farmers making more money.D. Using fungicide is in a dilemma between drug resistance and crop harvest.30. What makes a plant produce resistance to fungi??A. The survival of the fittest.B. Advances in technology.C. The use of farm chemicals.D. A welcoming environment.31. What can we learn from “natural gene editing”?A. Developing drug resistance.B. Making advances in genetics.C. Finding ways to evolve ourselves.D. Curing all kinds of diseases by editing genes. DThis November, I encourage the people of Arkansas to vote NO on a referendum（公投） to abolish the state’s motorcycle helmet law. The state’s current helmet law saves hundreds of lives per year, and it is senseless that people should be injured or killed merely because they are too vain to wear a helmet. Furthermore, helmet laws help to reduce public expenses on health care and have even been shown to prevent motorcycle theft. For these reasons, the citizens of Arkansas must oppose this referendum.One hardly needs to appeal to statistics to show that helmets protect motorcyclists against injury or death. For those who are skeptical, however, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) calculates that in an accident helmets reduce the likelihood of fatal injury by 29%. If motorcyclists wish to protect themselves against injury and death, they should wear a helmet whenever they ride.Many opponents of the helmet law agree that helmets save motorcyclists’ lives, but insist that the decision to wear a helmet should be left to the individual rider. Perhaps this argument would be valid if motorcyclists were the only ones negatively affected by their decision, but this is not the case. A 2002 study by the NHTSA concluded that only about half of all injured motorcyclists were properly insured, which means many of these riders likely relied on public funds to subsidize（补贴） their healthcare costs. If the citizens of Arkansas choose to abolish the helmet law, we can expect these costs to rise significantly, and at a time when our state is in a financial crisis.Helmet laws can also help reduce motorcycle theft. Few thieves think to bring a helmet with them when they steal a motorcycle, which makes them much easier for police to spot. In addition to making it easier to catch motorcycle thieves and recover stolen bikes, evidence shows that helmet laws can stop motorcycle theft from happening in the first place. After Texas passed a statewide helmet law, cities there saw rates of motorcycle theft drop by up to 44%. A drop in the rates of motorcycle theft directly reduces law enforcement expenses related to this crime, which is another benefit to all citizens. Opponents of the helmet law offer two main arguments. First, the law’s detractors（诽谤者）argue that properly educating riders is the best way to avoid accidents. I agree entirely; all motorcycle riders should be properly educated and should ride their bikes responsibly. Some accidents, however, are unavoidable, and as I have argued, helmets significantly reduce health care expenses associated with all accidents. Second, opponents argue that helmet laws infringe on their personal freedom. Again, I agree that the government should avoid limiting individual choice whenever possible, but as I have shown, the decision to wear a helmet does not affect only the rider, so this issue is not a simple matter of individual liberty. The government must not allow a few individuals to make society bear the burden of their irresponsible choices.In a perfect world, helmet laws would not be necessary because all riders would wear them voluntarily. However, we do not live in a perfect world. Therefore we must require motorcyclists to make this socially responsible decision. 32. Which of the following would provide the strongest proof for the author’s claims? A. Helmet laws will unavoidably damage riders’ personal freedom.B. Automobiles are a much more common target for theft than motorcycles.C. 80% of motorcyclists wear a helmet even when not required to do so by law. D. Healthcare costs related to motorcycle injuries will largely increase without the helmet law.33. The main purpose of paragraph 5 is to ______.A. expose the logical flaws in opponents’ arguments B. stress that the helmet law violate human rights. C. prove that the author shares common ground with opponents of the law emphasize the importance of rider education in preventing motorcycle accidents 34. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined “infringe on” in Paragraph 5? A. obtain B. abolish C. restrict D. release 35. Which could be the best title for the passage? A. Say No to helmet laws.B. Laws limits people’s freedom.C. Wearing helmets reduces health care expenses. D. Vote No on the referendum to abolish helmet laws.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The brain drain is characterized as the emigration of highly skilled laborers to other countries. 36 In the EU countries such as Poland, Italy and Portugal are especially affected by the brain drain, while other countries such as Sweden, Ireland and Denmark notice the opposite effect, namely brain gain.There are both push and pull factors affecting the brain drain. Pull factors includehigher employment rates, higher salary and an increase in quality of life, while the push factors are high youth unemployment and high enterprise death rates. 37 These effects include a reduction in human capital, limited capacity to innovate, reduced economic growth, and a higher cost of public goods. There are positive side effects as well, such as return migration and incentives (动机) for investment in education. 38 The European Committee of the Regions, therefore, suggests that local and regional authorities develop instruments and promote measures to increase the attractiveness of the regions facing the brain drain. They should also set up local alliances (联盟), which can help in drafting and carrying out local policies.The brain drain's negative effects have been key concerns of the EU. As currenteconomic and social differences between European regions are the main cause of thebrain drain, the need for a strong association between Europe's cohesion (凝聚) policies has been stressed. 39 This will also help in adopting the measures expected to fight against the problem of the brain drain including investing in education and employment in European regions.A study launched by an organization of the EU analyzed several programs across Europe. 40 These are steps like understanding the need for skilled workers, creating mechanisms for cooperation between governments, corporations and universities, removing structural barriers, etc. This calls for a territorial approach.It is a problem faced by many parts of Europe.C. The brain drain can have a negative impact on the sending region.D. Brain waste happens in the meantime in most European countries.E. Two of the key objectives are also necessary to reduce the brain drain.F. It came up with a list of best practices for fighting against the brain drain.G. Such a policy should help in promoting an even development across the regions of Europe.第三部分　语言知识运用(共二节，满分30分)第一节　完形填空(共15小题；每题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。What makes a home?

It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place.A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite flavored ice cream before they left home. As Mike climbed out the pool, his teammates patted (拍) him on the back. He'd taken first place again in his race.As it turned out, Mike decided to have some chocolate ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets that came up. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of being placed in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn't admit it, but he was also starting to feel a little uncomfortable. All that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer's build.It didn't take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place — and then third — and then last place in his races. The lucky chocolate ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him.“Mike, I think we need to talk about this. We all love ice cream, but it's got lots of fat and sugar in it, and it's not healthy for your body to eat so much of it.”Mike reluctantly agreed. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices.It was the last meet of the season, and Mike wasn't sure what to expect. He felt healthy again, but he didn't know if he still had any speed in the pool.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。Paragraph 1:As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else's too. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2022届高三八校第一次联考 2021.10 英语试题参考答案第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分)1—5 CBAAC 6—10 BCBAA 11—15 CBABB 16—20 CACAC第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 21-23 DBC 24-27 DBAC 28-31 BDAC 32-35 DACD第二节 36-40 BCAGF第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分）完形填空41-45 CABDD 46-50 BBCDA 51-55 BCDAD语法填空security 57. to retire 58. of 59. financial 60. their 61. offering 62. the 63. historically 64. pensions 65. where第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节：应用文Dear Sir / Madam,Visiting historic sites enjoys/gains increasing popularity nowadays with more people holding that it is a good way to broaden their horizons.

Whenever he came up for a breath, he could see he was gaining on the boy ahead of him in the next lane. Feeling determined to pass him, Mike found the power in his muscles he needed to swim ahead, and as his hand touched the edge of the pool, the race was over. He lifted his swim glasses off his head and looked at the electronic board. He knew he wasn't last, but what was his time? His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else's too. Mike had won his race, and he had also qualified for the national championships. The audience and his teammates cheered loudly, and his parents were laughing from ear to ear.“Hey son, let's go and have some of your favorite ice cream and celebrate!” said his father.“Thanks, Dad, but I'll pass on the ice cream; it's not such a lucky charm after all!”
