A
Does it seem like hotel costs just go up and up? It’s true that they rise each year, sometimes significantly. When determining which hotel has the best deal, you don’t just want to look at the nightly rate anymore. There are so many other factors to consider to help you save money, both before you book and during your stay. Here are some tips to help you make the best decision.
Go out to eat
Though room service sounds really appealing, prices for food on the menu can be twice as much as you would pay for the same food at a restaurant. Tips are always included in the tab and usually masked as a delivery charge. Most guests don’t know this and add a tip to the bill when the waiter brings their food.
Ask for a corner room
Though this won’t technically save you any money, corner rooms are usually a bit larger than regular rooms, which give you a better deal for your money. Once you check in, ask if one of these rooms is available. This is easier if you show up close to check-in time, but before the flood of guests show up to get their keys. You can also call ahead and request a corner room with your existing reservation.
Bring your own snacks
Anything is better than the rates for items in the mini bar. The prices are horrible and don’t even think about trying to replace it with the same item later.
Avoid the weekend
Hotels in popular destinations regularly raise their rates on Fridays and Saturdays. In some cases, it can be as much as three times more than Sunday through Thursday nights.
1. What is the aim of this text?
A. How to choose a good hotel. B. How to save money.
C. How to increase the nightly rate. D. How to decrease the tips.
2. Which service cost you more?
A. Room service. B. Go out to eat. C. Ask for a corner room. D. Bring your own snacks.
3. When is a good choice to book a hotel?
A. Fridays. B. Saturdays. C. Sundays. D. Holidays.

“With the passing of Chinese scientist Yuan Longping, China and the world have lost one greatest agricultural scientists,” Kenneth Quinn, president of the World Food Prize Foundation, said. Quinn, also vice chairman of the Yuan Longping International Rice Development Forum, shared his memory of the “father of hybrid rice” in an interview with Xinhua on Sunday.
Quinn first met Yuan in October 2004, when Yuan traveled to Des Moines in the U.S. state of Iowa to receive the World Food Prize. As they walked out of the airport , Quinn received a call and stepped aside to speak. When he turned back a minute or two later, he lost Yuan. “I had never before ‘lost’ a laureate(贵人),” he said. After a desperate search, he found Professor Yuan surrounded by a group of smiling graduate students from Iowa State University who so admired him that they wanted to take him off for a meal and conversation.
Quinn admired Yuan as a teacher. “He always had time to answer questions and speak with young scientists and students. The American high school students we sent to his research center each year always returned filled with knowledge and a deep desire to learn more.”
In Quinn’s eyes, Yuan was incredibly humble, never seeking fame, and focused only on hard work and results that could help lift people out of poverty. With a ‘down to earth’ attitude, Yuan greatly reduced hunger and provided farmers with surplus income through his discovery of hybrid rice.
Learning of Yuan’s passing away on Saturday, Quinn issued a statement to send his deepest sympathy to Yuan’s family and colleagues in China, as well as his admirers across the world. “Professor Yuan Longping, who was truly beloved in his country and by all of us who knew him, will be greatly missed. His legacy will provide inspiration to generations far into the future, in China and across the world,” Quinn said in the statement.
4. How did Kenneth Quinn feel when he found Yuan in a group of students?
A. Confused. B. Amazed. C. Annoyed. D. Frightened.
5. How did Yuan Longping deal with young people ?
A. He cared about the development of the youth.
B. He sent young students abroad for further study.
C. He was too busy to answer the students’ question.
D. He was generous to help young people out of trouble.
6. What does the words “down to earth” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Realistic . B. Stubborn C. Flexible D. Critical
7. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce the “father of hybrid rice”.
B. To share the stories of Yuan Longping.

As the coronavirus pandemic spread out, the demand for smell training therapy (疗法) stepped up, as potentially millions of those who had COVID-19 experienced losing their sense of smell.
Unlike some other viruses that can cause the loss of smell by directly infecting cells involved in detecting smell, the virus that causes COVID-19 spares them. Instead, the coronavirus infects surrounding support cells. To defend the body against the virus, immune cells rush to this site of infection and generate antiviral proteins, which then lead to the loss.
Approximately 80% of COVID-19 patients who had lost their sense of smell regained it without any treatment within one to four weeks. But as three months went by, patient Chris Rogers’ situation barely improved, so he started to seek out smell training therapy.
Twice a day for 10 weeks, Rogers sniffed four kinds of essential oils—rose, lemon, eucalyptus, and clove—to potentially strengthen the survival of newly formed smell-detecting cells or speed up their production and rebuild the connection between his nose and brain. To assess whether this smell therapy was effective, the doctor asked Rogers to distinguish between a number of additional smells before and after the smell training. Rogers did the therapy for 10 weeks and started noticing improvements at week six. At least five months since the smell training ended, the improvements can be more like 75%.
While scientists have recorded improvements in some individuals’ ability to smell, it has been difficult to show how much of that improvement comes from the therapy itself or natural recovery occurring over time, said Eric Holbrook, a doctor at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Hospital. “But I continue to recommend the therapy because such training could speed up the healing process. Also, it’s one of very few and often the only therapeutic options that’s available to millions of COVID-19 patients who haven’t been able to regain their sense of smell for months,” Eric Holbrook added.
Although the benefits of smell training can vary considerably among patients, depending on their starting point, “it is generally not considered harmful,” says Bradley Goldstein, a specialist studying at Duke University. “But we still need to find specific, more effective drug therapies. It’s really an unmet need.”
8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The ways of restoring the sense of smell.
B. The significance of smell training therapy.
C. The main symptoms of coronavirus infection.
D. The reason for the loss of smell in COVID-19 patients.
9. Why did the doctor ask Rogers to identify additional smells before and after the treatment?
A. To estimate the effectiveness of smell training.
B. To improve the sensitivity of Rogers’ sense of smell.
C. To make Rogers remember the smell of common oil.
D. To rebuild the connection between Rogers’ nose and brain.
10. Which word best describes Eric Holbrook’s attitude to smell training therapy?
A. Favorable. B. Indifferent. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.
11. What does Bradley Goldstein suggest?
A. Encouraging patients to recover naturally.
B. Developing better drug therapies for patients.
C Conducting the smell training on a large scale.
D. Providing long-term health guidance for patients.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新冠状病毒大流行的背景下，嗅觉训练疗法的需求不断增加的情况。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Unlike some other viruses that can cause the loss of smell by directly infecting cells involved in detecting smell, the virus that causes COVID-19 spares them. Instead, the coronavirus infects surrounding support cells.(与直接感染嗅觉细胞而导致嗅觉丧失的其他病毒不同，新冠病毒没有感染嗅觉细胞。相反，冠状病毒会感染周围的支持细胞)”可知，第二段的主要内容是介绍了COVID-19患者失去嗅觉的原因。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“To assess whether this smell therapy was effective, the doctor asked Rogers to distinguish between a number of additional smells before and after the smell training.(为了评估这种气味疗法是否有效，医生要求罗杰斯在气味训练前后区分一些额外的气味)”可知，医生要求罗杰斯在治疗前后识别额外的气味是为了评估这种气味疗法的效果。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“But I continue to recommend the therapy because such training could speed up the healing process. Also, it’s one of very few and often the only therapeutic options that’s available to millions of COVID-19 patients who haven’t been able to regain their sense of smell for months(但我仍然推荐这种疗法，因为这样的训练可以加快愈合过程。此外，对于数百万数月来无法恢复嗅觉的COVID-19患者来说，这是为数不多、往往也是唯一的治疗选择之一)”可知，埃里克·霍尔布鲁克对气味训练疗法的态度是赞成的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But we still need to find specific, more effective drug therapies. It’s really an unmet need.(但我们仍然需要找到具体的，更有效的药物疗法。这确实是一个未被满足的需求)”可知，Bradley Goldstein的建议是为患者开发更好的药物疗法。故选B项。
D
Scientists from Imperial College London have found that using virtual reality(VR)headsets can reduce sensitivity to pain, by immersing(沉浸)people in icy Arctic scenery. In a study published in Pain Reports, a team from Imperial used VR video to reduce people’s sensitivity to ongoing pain and sharp shooting pain.
According to the researchers, the findings add to the growing evidence for the potential of VR technology to help patients with long-term pain. Beyond the distracting effect, they think VR may actually cause the body’s own inbuilt pain-fighting systems to start working.
Dr Sam Hughes, the first author on the paper, said "Our work suggests that VR may be getting involved in processes in the key parts of our inbuilt pain-fighting systems and are helpful in regulating the spread of increased sensitivity to pain.
To test their theory, researchers applied a cream containing capsaicin(辣椒素)-the chemical that makes your mouth bum-to 15 healthy volunteers. The capsaicin makes the skin more sensitive to painful stimuli(刺激)like a very small electric shock.
In the first trial, participants were then asked to rate the pain caused by the capsaicin cream on a scale of 0-100 (from 'no pain' to 'worst pain possible' )while either watching a VR scene of Arctic exploration through a headset, or looking at a still image of an Arctic scene on a monitor. Under the same conditions, they were also asked to say when a stimulus applied directly to the skin area is considered as painful.
The team found that ongoing pain was reduced following VR immersion, and that sensitivity to painful stimuli was also reduced. However, the same effect was not seen in people who looked at still images of the polar environment.
They explain that while the findings made at the beginning are encouraging, the study is limited by the small number of healthy participants, without long-term pain. However, the researchers believe VR could hold a bright future to treat patients with long-term pain who have poor inbuilt pain fighting systems.
12. How can VR possibly help long-term pain sufferers?
A. By making their pain-fighting systems function.
B. By drawing their attention to fighting pain.
C. By controlling the spread of pain sensitivity.
D. By slowing down their brains' reaction to pain.
13. Which step comes first in their theory testing?
A. Making a capsaicin cream.
B. Putting on virtual reality headsets.
C. Applying capsaicin cream to the skin.
D. Looking at pictures on a computer screen.
14. What conclusion can be drawn from the trial?
A. Still images helped to ease people's pain.
B. VR immersion was the key factor in pain reduction.
C. Healthy people were less sensitive to VR than pain sufferers.
D. Capsaicin cream brought people more pain than electronic stimulus.
15. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. The team feels confident about future VR treatment.
B. The researchers will work on the side effect of VR.
C. VR treatment can be applied in other medical fields.
D. The trial only has an effect on short-term pain patients.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。伦敦帝国理工学院的科学家发现，使用虚拟现实(VR)耳机可以让人沉浸在冰冷的北极景色中，从而降低对疼痛的敏感度。虽然目前的研究不够完善，但研究团队认为VR可以为治疗长期疼痛且内置止痛系统不佳的患者带来光明的前景。

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“According to the researchers, the findings add to the growing evidence for the potential of VR technology to help patients with long-term pain. Beyond the distracting effect, they think VR may actually cause the body’s own inbuilt pain-fighting systems to start working.(研究人员表示，这一发现进一步证明了VR技术在帮助长期疼痛患者方面的潜力。除了这种分散注意力的效果，他们认为VR实际上可能会导致人体自身内置的止痛系统开始工作。)”可知VR可能会导致人体自身内置的止痛系统开始工作，由此可推知VR是通过让止痛系统发挥作用来帮助长期疼痛患者。故选A项。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To test their theory, researchers applied a cream containing capsaicin(辣椒素)-the chemical that makes your mouth bum-to 15 healthy volunteers. (为了验证他们的理论，研究人员对15名健康志愿者使用了一种含有辣椒素的乳霜——辣椒素是一种会让你的嘴巴变得不舒服的化学物质。)”可知在理论验证过程中的第一步是在皮肤上涂抹辣椒素霜。故选C项。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The team found that ongoing pain was reduced following VR immersion, and that sensitivity to painful stimuli was also reduced. However, the same effect was not seen in people who looked at still images of the polar environment.(研究小组发现，沉浸VR后持续的疼痛减少了，对疼痛刺激的敏感性也降低了。然而，同样的效果在观看静止的极地环境图片的人身上没有看到。)”可知VR沉浸感比观看普通的静止环境图片减轻疼痛的效果更为明显，由此可推知VR沉浸感是减轻疼痛的关键因素。故选B项。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“They explain that while the findings made at the beginning are encouraging, the study is limited by the small number of healthy participants, without long-term pain. However, the researchers believe VR could hold a bright future to treat patients with long-term pain who have poor inbuilt pain fighting systems.(他们解释说，尽管开始时的发现令人鼓舞，但该研究受到健康参与者的限制，且没有长期痛苦。 但是，研究人员认为，VR可以为治疗长期疼痛且内置止痛系统不佳的患者带来光明的前景。)”可知研究人员认为VR可以为治疗长期疼痛且内置止痛系统不佳的患者带来光明的前景，由此可知本段内容表明该团队对未来VR治疗充满信心。故选A项。

【36题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：飞机设计师顾颂芬和核专家王大中于星期三被授予了国家杰出科学技术奖这一国家科学领域最高荣誉称号。分析句子成分可知award在句中作谓语，根据on Wednesday可知时态为一般过去时，主语Gu Songfen and Wang Dazhong和谓语award为被动关系且为复数。故填were awarded。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在北京人民大会堂举办的国家科学技术颁奖大会中，他们因在科学技术创新领域作出的突出贡献而获此奖项。 science和technological是两个并列定语，修饰名词innovation，形容词修饰名词。故填scientific。

【40题详解】

【45题详解】

第四部分 写作(共三节，满分40分)
第一节 英汉互译(共5小题，每题1分，满分5分)
46. With their chins on their hands, they occupy themselves by staring out of the window or up at the ceiling.(英译汉)
【答案】他们双手托着下巴，眼睛盯着窗外或天花板。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。分析句子可知，句中含有with的复合结构，在句中作状语，意为“他们双手托着下巴”，occupy oneself意为“忙于（做某事）”，“staring out of the window”意为“盯着窗外”，or“或者”表示选择关系，“ceiling”意为“天花板”，故本句可译为：他们双手托着下巴，眼睛盯着窗外或天花板。
47. Today, it is estimated that about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China is comprised of crops generated from Yuan’s hybrid strains. (英译汉)
【答案】据估算，现在中国国内消费的稻米有大约60%来自袁隆平的杂交水稻品种形成的作物。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构。分析句子可知，本句使用it作形式主语，that引导从句作真正的主语，today译为“现在”，it is estimated that表示“据估算”，that从句中主语about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China译为“中国国内消费的稻米的大约60%”，be comprised of表示“由……组成”，后接介词of的宾语crops“作物”，generated from Yuan’s hybrid strains译为“源于袁隆平的杂交水稻品种”，作后置定语修饰名词crops。故翻译为：据估算，现在中国国内消费的稻米有大约60%来自袁隆平的杂交水稻品种形成的作物。
48. It seemed that the woman liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day.（英译汉）
【答案】该妇女似乎非常喜欢从水泵抽上来的水，每天都让人从那里打水运到家里来。
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和状语从句。It seemed that…为固定句型，意为“似乎”；the woman意为“该妇女”；liked意为“喜欢”；the water from the pump意为“从水泵抽上来的水”；so…that…为固定句型，意为“如此……以至于……”；much意为“非常”；she had it delivered to her house every day.意为“每天都让人从那里打水运到家里来”，have sth. done为固定用法，delivered为过去分词作宾语补足语。故翻译成：该妇女似乎非常喜欢从水泵抽上来的水，每天都让人从那里打水运到家里来。
49. 他发现学术机构纷纷对他关上了大门。(find+宾语+宾补) (汉译英)
【答案】He found the doors of academic institutions closed to him.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型、形容词、名词、过去分词。表示“他发现某事物如何”用find+宾语+宾补类型的固定句型；表示“学术机构的大门”用the doors of academic institutions，作find的宾语；表示“发现学术机构纷纷对他关上了大门”用find the doors of academic institutions closed to him，因“doors”与“close”之间是被动关系，故用close的过去分词形式作宾语补足语；句首单词首字母用大写；事情已发生，故用一般过去时。故翻译为He found the doors of academic institutions closed to him.
50. 无法分辨是早晨还是晚上。(动词-ing作主语)(汉译英)
【答案】Telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词作主语。句子描述现在的一般情况，应用一般现在时，“分辨”可使用动词tell，“是早晨还是晚上”使用whether引导从句，作tell的宾语，即whether it is morning or night，使用动名词短语telling whether it is morning or night作句子主语，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式，be动词使用is，“不可能的”译为impossible，作句子表语。故翻译为Telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.

第三节 读后续写(满分20分)
52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a small town where elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in an age, not so long ago, when we children could go home for lunch and find our mothers waiting. At the time, I didn’t consider this to be so important, although today it certainly would be. Actually, our lunch time together in the past years had had a great influence on my life before I realized it.
Our lunch time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practised my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained patiently that she needed a narrator and had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to switch roles. Her words, kindly delivered, still hurt me, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my unease, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine (藤) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) appearing unexpectedly through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with small amounts of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the bushes. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a blossom up by all its roots. “From now on, we’ll have roses in this garden.” I immediately protested, “But I like dandelions. All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions.”
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:
“Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty?” asked my mother thoughtfully.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” Mom said.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
“Do you mean that every flower has its own beauty?” asked my mother thoughtfully. I nodded without hesitation, as if a second wasted could deprive the dandelions of their life. “The same to you,” she added, her voice soft. “Not everyone can be a rose, and it is also an honour to be a dandelion.” Knowing that my mother had realized my pain, I took off the mask that I had worn for the whole lunch time and poured out my unease heartily. “I want to be the beautiful princess but now I was chosen as a narrator.” She listened to me patiently and patted me on the back tenderly.
Paragraph 2:
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” Mom said. She reminded me of how fluently I could deliver my part at home. It was at that time that I understood that maybe I was more suitable for a role back stage like a narrator. From then on, I practiced my lines heart and soul with my mother at lunch time for weeks. And the performance approached ultimately. Standing backstage, nervousness came flooding in me. What encouraged me to overcome it was the inspiration from the beautiful yellow dandelions. The performance that night was eventually a big success. Hearing the thunderous applause, I took pride in my role and firmly believed that even a dandelion had its own beauty.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在小学三年级的时候被选中为校园剧里的公主，但上台的时候因为忘记台词，因此角色被换成了旁白，作者内心受伤。后来作者的母亲察觉到了作者的不安，于是建议让她去院子里拔除院子里的野草改种玫瑰，但是作者反对这么做。因为作者认为蒲公英同样美丽。因此作者也明白了其中的道理，野草和玫瑰各有各的美丽，无论哪一个角色，都会有自己的重要性。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“你是说每朵花都有自己的美吗？我母亲若有所思地问道。”可知，第一段可描写作者的母亲听了作者的诉苦，并且温柔地安慰了作者。
②由第二段首句内容“但你会成为一个美丽的旁白者，妈妈说。”可知，第二段可描写作者受到了母亲的鼓励之后，这给了作者自信，因此作者认真练习旁白。并且最终表演成功。
2.续写线索：回家吃午饭对我的影响——被选中为校园剧的公主——角色被换成旁白——内心受伤——母亲察觉并安慰和鼓励——表演成功——感悟
