B
When I was a child, I was often asked at school who my role model was, the person that you admire and inspires you. I always mentioned different names: from the celebrity of the moment to my grandfather.
It was always difficult for me to choose a single person as a role model, because I liked different things from different people. Based on the people that I admired and inspired me, I managed to create a custom role model in my mind.
For years there has been a constant struggle to achieve gender equality, and when I decided to study at my university I leaned towards engineering because I wanted a challenge in my life, both intellectually and culturally. Back then, only 10% of the students were women. This certainly did not stop me. On the contrary, it was a determining factor for me to prove myself that I could handle something that was “not expected” for women.
Throughout my studies I realized that there was no difference between me and my teammates; we all had the same possibilities and capabilities. However, my main challenge was determined by culture, as we grew up with certain values and social norms that told us that careers in science or engineering were not for women.
It was complicated and I had to go through uncomfortable situations but pursuing a technical career brought me many benefits, such as developing systematic thinking. This is a basic tool to create possibilities in the future and achieve a more rational understanding about the economic and social systems in which we live, and it allows you to have the possibility to become the architect of your own life.
When girls decide to pursue a technical career, they not only benefit themselves, but also help break the stereotypes in their environment. They become agents of change capable of modifying existing structures.
It is like sowing seeds for the future. If we want a fairer world where women and men can decide on our future, we have to involve girls starting today, encouraging them to explore technology and science. Sow a seed and in the future it will give you a tree with many fruits. This is not only an individual benefit but a collective one.

细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was a child, I was often asked at school who my role model was, the person that you admire and inspires you.(当我还是个孩子的时候，在学校里经常有人问我，我的榜样是谁，你崇拜的人，激励你的人)”以及第二段中“It was always difficult for me to choose a single person as a role model, because I liked different things from different people. Based on the people that I admired and inspired me, I managed to create a custom role model in my mind.(对我来说，选择一个人作为榜样总是很困难的，因为我喜欢不同人的不同东西。以我崇拜和激励我的人为基础，我在脑海中创造了一个自定义的榜样)”可知，作者在童年时设法想象自己有一个特别的榜样。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“For years there has been a constant struggle to achieve gender equality, and when I decided to study at my university I leaned towards engineering because I wanted a challenge in my life, both intellectually and culturally. Back then, only 10% of the students were women. This certainly did not stop me. On the contrary, it was a determining factor for me to prove myself that I could handle something that was “not expected” for women.(多年来，人们一直在为实现性别平等而斗争，当我决定在大学学习时，我倾向于选择工程学，因为我想在生活中面临挑战，无论是在智力上还是在文化上。当时，只有10%的学生是女性。这当然没有阻止我。相反，这是一个决定性因素，让我证明自己，我可以处理一些女性“不期望”的事情)”可知，当时，工程学的学生中只有10%的学生是女性。可推知，作者通过学习工程学想要证明可以处理一些女性“不期望”的事情，也即是女性也适合技术职业。故选D项。

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“It was complicated and I had to go through uncomfortable situations, but pursuing a technical career brought me many benefits, such as developing systematic thinking.(这很复杂，我不得不经历一些不舒服的情况，但从事技术职业给我带来了很多好处，比如培养了系统思维)”可知，作者举系统思维的例子是为了强调技术职业的好处，故选A项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When girls decide to pursue a technical career, they not only benefit themselves, but also help break the stereotypes in their environment. They become agents of change capable of modifying existing structures.(当女孩决定从事技术职业时，她们不仅受益于自己，也有助于打破她们所处环境中的刻板印象。他们成为变革的推动者，能够改变现有的结构)”以及最后一段中“It is like sowing seeds for the future. If we want a fairer world where women and men can decide on our future, we have to involve girls starting today, encouraging them to explore technology and science. Sow a seed and in the future it will give you a tree with many fruits. This is not only an individual benefit but a collective one.(这就像为未来播下种子。如果我们想要一个更公平的世界，让女性和男性可以决定我们的未来，我们必须从今天开始让女孩参与进来，鼓励她们探索技术和科学。播下一颗种子，将来它会给你一棵结满果实的树。这不仅是个人利益，也是集体利益)”可知，作者从个人和社会两方面说明女性探索科学和技术的好处，所以是鼓励女孩们去探索科学和技术。故选B项。
C
Scientists have discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using videos shot by some unusual helpers: tiger sharks. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a powerful way to explore the ocean.
Sea grasses are flowering plants that normally grow in shallow waters near coasts. They grow in thick fields，known as meadows(草地). Sea grass meadows help clean the ocean’s water, and provide food and shelter for many sea creatures. Sea grasses store huge amounts of carbon—the harmful pollution that’s making global warming worse. Damaging these sea grass meadows can release this pollution again,so it’s important to protect them.
From above, the meadows can be hard to spot, either because the water is too deep or not clear enough. And the ocean is so huge that it’s simply not possible to study it all by diving. So a team of scientists decided to have sharks help with the research. Tiger sharks are huge, strong, and deadly. But they also live underwater, are fast swimmers, and spend a lot of time in sea grass meadows. Between 2016 and 2020, a team of researchers attached cameras and other trackers to the fins (鳍) of seven tiger sharks. After catching the sharks, the scientists worked quickly to attach the equipment,then let them go again.
The scientists have learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest sea grass meadow ever discovered and that the world has roughly 40% more sea grass meadows than they previously thought.
The programme shows how useful large underwater animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Oliver Ship ley is a scientist at Beneath the Waves,which led the work. He says animals like tiger sharks “...are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know existed.”
8. What can be known about sea grasses in Paragraph 2?
A. They help fight global warming. B. They need to be removed regularly.
C. They mainly live on sea creatures. D. They grow in deep waters of the ocean.
9. Why are Tiger sharks chosen by scientists?
A. They are sensitive to sea grasses. B. Cameras are easily fixed on them.
C. They are the most faithful sea animals. D. They spend much time in sea grass meadows.
10. What does Oliver Ship ley think of sea animals?
A. They are dangerous. B. They are adorable.
C. They are helpful. D. They are smart.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Many new places in the ocean need exploring.
B. Sharks help discover world’s largest sea grass meadow.
C. Scientists have found a powerful way to protect the ocean.
D. Large underwater animals contribute a lot to the ocean.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家们发现了世界上已知的最大的海草场。他们使用一些不寻常的助手拍摄的视频来做到这一点：虎鲨。这项工作应该有助于保护海草，同时也展示了一种探索海洋的强大方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Sea grasses store huge amounts of carbon—the harmful pollution that’s making global warming worse. Damaging these sea grass meadows can release this pollution again,so it’s important to protect them.(海草储存了大量的碳——这种有害污染正在加剧全球变暖。破坏这些海草草地会再次释放这种污染，所以保护它们很重要)”可知，海草能够帮助对抗全球变暖。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But they also live underwater, are fast swimmers, and spend a lot of time in sea grass meadows.(但它们也生活在水下，游泳速度很快，在海草草地上度过了很多时间)”可知，科学家们选用虎鲨是因为他们生活在水下，游泳速度很快，并且会在海草草地上度过很长时间。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Oliver Ship ley is a scientist at Beneath the Waves, which led the work. He says animals like tiger sharks “...are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know existed.”(Oliver Ship ley是“海浪之下”组织的科学家，该组织领导了这项研究。他说像虎鲨这样的动物“……将把我们带到我们不知道存在的新地方。”)”可推知，Oliver Ship ley 认为海洋动物是有帮助的。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists have discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using videos shot by some unusual helpers: tiger sharks. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a powerful way to explore the ocean.(科学家们发现了世界上已知最大的海草地。他们用虎鲨拍摄的视频来做这件事。这项工作应该有助于保护海草，也展示了一种探索海洋的强大方式)”且通读整篇文章可知，文章讲述的虎鲨帮助科学家们发现了世界上已知的最大的海草场。故选B项。
D
In mammals,loud calls usually serve as alarm signals that warn fellow species of an enemy or other danger. On the other hand, screams from humans can have very different meanings, as Swiss researchers now report in the journal “PLoS Biology”. Human’s screams are not always only associated with negative emotions such as fear, pain, anger and grief, but also positive emotions such as joy and pleasure.
Sascha Frühholz and his colleagues from the University of Zurich studied how many types of human screams there are, how accurately test subjects can distinguish them, and which brain regions are involved in processing such sound signals. To do this,they first made sound recordings of different screams. Twelve men and women were to put themselves in situations where they reacted with a brief scream. The predetermined situations included, for example: an attack by an armed stranger,celebration about a sporting victory of their favorite team, the threat of an opponent(对手).
From the recordings, the researchers finally selected 420 screams. From this, they identified six distinct categories of screams, including three of alarming characters (cries of pain, anger, and fear) and three non-alarming screams (as expressions of great pleasure, extreme joy, and desperate sadness). Contrary to all expectations, the subjects reacted to non-alarming screams more quickly and recognized the emotion expressed with it more reliably than with alarming screams. This was also confirmed by images of the brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging(FMRI).
Until now, researchers assumed that humans also detect and process perceived alarm signals particularly quickly in the form of screams, as this is an important survival mechanism(生存机制), says Frühholz. But unlike monkeys and other mammals, non-alarming screams would have become more important for communication. “This changed priority is probably due to needs that have evolved in the evolution of complex human social relationships.”
12. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Human’s expressions.
B. A research on screams.
C. A survival mechanism.
D. Mammals’alarm signals.
13. Which expression can be reacted to more quickly?
A. Cries of pain. B. Anger.
C. Fear. D. Desperate sadness.
14. What does “This changed priority” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. All-mammals are more sensitive to alarming screams.。
B. All humans survive owing to quicker reaction to screams.
C. Non-alarming screams are more useful for human communication.
D. Alarming screams are more important than non-alarming screams.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To spread and advocate. B. To argue and discuss.
C. To recommend and introduce. D. To compare and inform.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人类的尖叫以及尖叫表达的不同的情绪进行分类，并表示非惊恐尖叫产生优先级变化的原因可能是人类社会关系演变的需要造成的。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In mammals, loud calls usually serve as alarm signals that warn fellow species of an enemy or other danger.(在哺乳动物中，响亮的叫声通常是警告同类有敌人或其他危险的警报信号。)”和“Human’s screams are not always only associated with negative emotions such as fear, pain, anger and grief, but also positive emotions such as joy and pleasure.(人类的尖叫不仅与恐惧、痛苦、愤怒、悲伤等消极情绪有关，也与喜悦、快乐等积极情绪有关。)”可知，文章主要介绍人类的尖叫以及尖叫表达的不同的情绪进行分类，并表示非惊恐尖叫产生优先级变化的原因可能是人类社会关系演变的需要造成的。所以这篇文章主要是关于尖叫的研究。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Contrary to all expectations, the subjects reacted to non-alarming screams more quickly and recognized the emotion expressed with it more reliably than with alarming screams.(出乎意料的是，受试者对非惊恐尖叫的反应比惊恐尖叫更快，更能准确地识别出尖叫所表达的情绪。)”可知，人们对非惊恐尖叫做出的反应更快，以及“From this, they identified six distinct categories of screams, including three of alarming characters (cries of pain, anger, and fear) and three non-alarming screams (as expressions of great pleasure, extreme joy, and desperate sadness).(据此，他们确定了六种不同类型的尖叫，包括三种令人惊恐的尖叫（痛苦、愤怒和恐惧的尖叫）和三种不令人惊恐的尖叫（表达极大的快乐、极度的喜悦和极度的悲伤）。)”可知，非惊恐尖叫包括三种——快乐、极度的喜悦和极度的悲伤。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前句“But unlike monkeys and other mammals, non-alarming screams would have become more important for communication. (但与猴子和其他哺乳动物不同的是，非惊恐尖叫对于交流来说更加重要。)”可知，非惊恐尖叫得到优先是因为人类的进化和演变。即“优先级改变了”指的是非惊恐尖叫对人类交流更有用。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“From the recordings, the researchers finally selected 420 screams.  From this, they identified six distinct categories of screams, including three of alarming characters (cries of pain, anger, and fear) and three non-alarming screams (as expressions of great pleasure, extreme joy, and desperate sadness). (从这些录音中，研究人员最终选出了420声尖叫。据此，他们确定了六种不同类型的尖叫，包括三种令人惊恐的尖叫(痛苦、愤怒和恐惧的尖叫)和三种不令人惊恐的尖叫(表达极大的快乐、极度的喜悦和极度的悲伤)。)”可知，文章主要就人类的尖叫类型进行了区分和比较；并且文章最后一段“Until now, researchers assumed that humans also detect and process perceived alarm signals particularly quickly in the form of screams, as this is an important survival mechanism, says Frühholz.( Frühholz说，到目前为止，研究人员认为人类也能以尖叫的形式快速检测和处理感知到的警报信号，因为这是一种重要的生存机制。)”就Frühholz的研究结果对读者进行了阐述。所以文章主要的目的是对比分析并向读者进行告知该科普知识。故选D。

I plan to remember this year’s vacation season with just two words: NEVER AGAIN. Never again, that is, will I take all my technology along.____16____Instead of long evenings of crossword puzzles of board games, we checked our Twitter feeds and updated our Facebook pages. That is the problem with the Internet: unless you’re equipped with massive self-control, you use it if it’s there.
For several years, I kept my Internet addiction under control by using inconvenient technology: a laptop which is old and not in good condition and a slow dial- up connection.____17____The magical iPad signaled silently from the picnic table: Once that attractive touch screen lights up, who can resist?
____18____I’m a late adopter. As early as 2008, Nicholas Carr, a famous writer, was warning that broadband Internet was reducing our attention spans and making us stupid. Even before that, in 2000,Harvard’s Robert Putnam warned that television—and, more broadly, staring into any kind of screen —had reduced the amount of time families spent in social interactions.
____19____I love having a bottomless library at my fingertips; I love having the world’s newspapers on my electronic doorstep. It’s also nice to have an app that identifies the constellations when you hold the iPad up to the night sky. But then, you have to remember to put the screen down and simply drink in the stars.
And that’s the point:____20____It’s our fault instead of the Internet, for failing to control the urge to browse. So now I have one more thing to look forward to next summer: More time reading old novels; more time playing crossword puzzles and chasing frogs.
A. The internet has ruined summer vacations.
B. Access to the Web is unquestionably a wonderful thing.
C. I’m not the first to get lost across this problem, of course.
D. People should not rely simply on the Internet to provide them with other information.
E. It’s important not to let the convenience of the Internet get in the way of simpler beauties.
F. Although the Internet is often useful, it can become addictive and prevent human interaction.
G. But this year, the combination of a new iPad and very good Wi-Fi turned out to be disastrous.

根据上文“I plan to remember this year’s vacation season with just two words: NEVER AGAIN. Never again, that is, will I take all my technology along.(我打算用两个字来记住今年的假期：永远不再。也就是说，我再也不会把所有的技术都带上了)”以及后文“Instead of long evenings of crossword puzzles of board games, we checked our Twitter feeds and updated our Facebook pages. That is the problem with the Internet: unless you’re equipped with massive self-control, you use it if it’s there.(我们不再彻夜玩填字游戏，而是查看Twitter信息和更新Facebook页面。这就是互联网的问题：除非你有强大的自我控制能力，否则你会被它利用)”可知，本句说明不再使用信息技术的原因：互联网毁了暑假。故A选项“互联网毁了暑假”符合语境。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“For several years, I kept my Internet addiction under control by using inconvenient technology: a laptop which is old and not in good condition and a slow dial- up connection.(几年来，我通过使用不方便的技术来控制我的网瘾:一台旧的、状况不佳的笔记本电脑和一个缓慢的拨号连接)”以及后文“The magical iPad signaled silently from the picnic table: Once that attractive touch screen lights up, who can resist?(神奇的iPad从餐桌上默默地发出信号：一旦诱人的触摸屏亮起来，谁能抗拒呢？)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出iPad给作者带来的影响。故G选项“但今年，新iPad和非常好的Wi-Fi相结合的结果却是灾难性的”符合语境。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据后文“I’m a late adopter. As early as 2008, Nicholas Carr, a famous writer, was warning that broadband Internet was reducing our attention spans and making us stupid. Even before that, in 2000,Harvard’s Robert Putnam warned that television—and, more broadly, staring into any kind of screen —had reduced the amount of time families spent in social interactions.(我是一个较晚接受的人。早在2008年，著名作家尼古拉斯·卡尔就警告说，宽带互联网正在缩短我们的注意力持续时间，让我们变得愚蠢。甚至在此之前，哈佛大学的罗伯特·帕特南在2000年就警告说，电视——更广泛地说，盯着任何一种屏幕——已经减少了家庭用于社会互动的时间)”可知，本段主要提到了之前的相关研究，说明作者不是第一个出现这种问题的人。故C选项“当然，我不是第一个在这个问题上迷失方向的人”符合语境。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据后文“I love having a bottomless library at my fingertips; I love having the world’s newspapers on my electronic doorstep. It’s also nice to have an app that identifies the constellations when you hold the iPad up to the night sky. But then, you have to remember to put the screen down and simply drink in the stars.(我喜欢指尖有一个无底洞的图书馆；我喜欢把世界各地的报纸放在我的电子门阶上。当你把iPad对准夜空时，有一个可以识别星座的应用程序也很不错。但是，你必须记得放下屏幕，只是在星星下喝酒)”可知，后文主要提到了上网的一些好处，本句为本段主旨句：上网是一件很棒的事情。故B选项“毫无疑问，上网是一件很棒的事情”符合语境。故选B。

根据后文“It’s our fault instead of the Internet, for failing to control the urge to browse. So now I have one more thing to look forward to next summer: More time reading old novels; more time playing crossword puzzles and chasing frogs.(这是我们的错，而不是互联网的错，因为我们没能控制浏览的冲动。所以现在我对明年夏天还有一件事要期待：有更多的时间阅读旧小说；有更多时间玩填字游戏和追逐青蛙)”可知，后文提到了有更多的时间阅读旧小说；有更多时间玩填字游戏和追逐青蛙，说明要利用互联网的便利，故E选项“重要的是不要让互联网的便利阻碍了更简单的美”符合语境。故选E。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jatin and his younger sister, Neha, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).
One day, Jatin took Neha's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed. So he begged his sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin' s running shoes. Neha's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school.
A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Jatin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Jatin from behind and Jatin fell on the ground.
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，开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this final and key point, Jatin struggled to jump to his feet and ran as fast as he could, though it was so painful for him. Eventually, he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line. Jatin couldn't help sobbing at the thought of letting his sister down. But much to his surprise, the judge announced the third didn’t belong to the runner who collided with Jatin because he broke the rule and Jatin won the third prize. Jatin felt overjoyed and relieved during the award ceremony, holding the shoes close to his chest.
Paragraph 2:
Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Jatin found Neha was walking about outside nervously and anx- iously. “Neha, see what I have got for you." Jatin said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Neha saw the shoes, her face lit up. “Thank you! Jatin." Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.

【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，贾廷和他的妹妹尼哈和父母住在一个贫穷的社区。他们的母亲病得很重，父亲正在努力找工作。贾廷把尼哈的鞋子带到一个鞋匠那里修理，但是在回家的路上，尼哈把鞋子弄丢了。他担心他的父母会生气和失望，所以他恳求妹妹保守秘密。尼哈同意了，两人决定分享贾廷的跑鞋。不久城里的男孩们将举行一场长跑比赛。当贾廷得知三等奖是一双新鞋时，他决心要跑到第三名。但是在接近终点线时, 和另一个从后面赶上的运动员相撞，贾廷倒在地上。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：贾廷抬起头，看见其他的男孩在向前冲。所以应该写贾廷被撞倒后拒绝放弃，挣扎着往前跑，但是仅赢得了第四名，忍不住哭起来，令他吃惊的是，裁判宣布贾廷获得了第三名。因此推断要描述贾廷被同学撞倒在地上后，挣扎着站起来，继续努力跑，以及在得知自己没有赢得第三名之后的悲伤，和裁判宣布贾廷获得了第三名的原因和贾廷内心的高兴和宽慰。第二段开头是：贾廷高兴极了，很快回家了。本段应该写贾廷迫不及待地想要见到他的妹妹并分享这个好消息以及妹妹内心的感动和开心。续写时要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：give up，struggle to do，couldn't help doing，to one’s surprise， belong to 等高级词汇；But much to his surprise, the judge announced the third didn’t belong to the runner who collided with Jatin because he broke the rule and Jatin won the third prize.使用了定语从句和状语从句。
