阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Originally a medieval fortress and kings’ homes on the right bank of the Seine, the Louvre Museum has many famous pieces on permanent display.
Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci, has been on display at the Louvre Museum since 1797. More than six million people visit the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa each year. The fame is almost entirely the result of a robbery that took place in 1911, when the Mona Lisa was taken from the Louvre by an Italian patriot. The thief was caught trying to sell the painting to the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and the Mona Lisa was returned to Paris in early 1914.
Winged Victory of Samothrace
Representing the Greek goddess of victory, Nike was found in hundreds of different pieces in 1863 on the Greek island of Samothrace before she was brought to the Louvre Museum. She was positioned as the sole figure on top of a staircase in the museum in 1863 where she has remained ever since. The athletic wear company of the same name used the goddess of victory as inspiration for the brand, and the Nike logo is taken from the shape of the top of her wings.
Venus de Milo
Discovered in 1820 on the Greek island of Milo, the Venus de Milo was gifted to King Louis XⅧ, who donated it to the Louvre collection. Venus de Milo is thought to represent the Greek goddess Aphrodite, though her identity has never been proven. She is positioned to appear as if she is looking across the other Roman depictions of Venus that appear in the same hall at the Louvre Museum.
Liberty Leading the People
Painted by Eugene Delacroix, this work depicts a woman, a symbol of the French Revolution known as Marianne, holding the tricolor revolutionary French flag that would later become the official flag of France, while standing above the bodies of fallen men. Delacroix created the painting to commemorate the July Revolution, which toppled King Charles X of France. In 1874, it was acquired by the Louvre Museum.
1. What do we know about the painting Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum?
A. It has attracted a total of six million people to the museum.
B. It was so famous as to almost fuel a crime in 1911.
C. It was once displayed in the Uffizi Museum in Florence.
D. It was not kept in the Louvre Museum for several years.
2. Which of the following pieces is set in France?
A. Mona Lisa. B. Winged Victory of Samothrace.
C. Venus de Milo. D. Liberty Leading the People.
3. What do the “Winged Victory of Samothrace” and “Venus de Milo” have in common?
A. Both of them are connected with Greek beliefs.
B. Both of them inspired athletic wear designers.
C. Both of them were positioned as sole figures.
D. Both of them were gifts to French kings.
【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了最初是塞纳河右岸的中世纪要塞和国王的住所卢浮宫里永久展出的四个著名的作品。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Mona Lisa“The fame is almost entirely the result of a robbery that took place in 1911, when the Mona Lisa was taken from the Louvre by an Italian patriot. The thief was caught trying to sell the painting to the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and the Mona Lisa was returned to Paris in early 1914.”（蒙娜丽莎的成名几乎完全是因为1911年发生的一起抢劫案，当时一名意大利爱国者从卢浮宫偷走了《蒙娜丽莎》。窃贼在向佛罗伦萨乌菲齐博物馆出售画作时被抓获，《蒙娜丽莎》于1914年初被归还巴黎。）可知，关于卢浮宫博物馆里的《蒙娜丽莎》我们知道这幅画好几年都没有留在卢浮宫。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Liberty Leading the People“Painted by Eugene Delacroix, this work depicts a woman, a symbol of the French Revolution known as Marianne, holding the tricolor revolutionary French flag that would later become the official flag of France, while standing above the bodies of fallen men. Delacroix created the painting to commemorate the July Revolution, which toppled King Charles X of France. In 1874, it was acquired by the Louvre Museum.”（这幅作品由尤金·德拉克洛瓦创作，描绘了一个被称为玛丽安的法国革命的象征，她举着后来成为法国官方旗帜的法国革命三色旗，站在倒下的男人的尸体上方。德拉克洛瓦创作这幅画是为了纪念推翻法国国王查理十世的七月革命。1874年，它被卢浮宫博物馆收购。）可知，《自由领导人民》这个作品是以法国为背景的，故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Winged Victory of Samothrace“Representing the Greek goddess of victory, Nike was found in hundreds of different pieces in 1863 on the Greek island of Samothrace before she was brought to the Louvre Museum. ”（Nike是希腊胜利女神的象征，1863年，人们在希腊的萨摩色雷斯岛(Samothrace)发现了它的数百件不同的作品，之后它被带到卢浮宫博物馆。）以及Venus de Milo“Discovered in 1820 on the Greek island of Milo, the Venus de Milo was gifted to King Louis XⅧ, who donated it to the Louvre collection. Venus de Milo is thought to represent the Greek goddess Aphrodite, though her identity has never been proven.”（《米洛的维纳斯》于1820年在希腊米洛岛被发现，被赠予国王路易十世Ⅷ，后者将其捐赠给卢浮宫收藏。米洛的维纳斯被认为代表希腊女神阿佛洛狄忒，尽管她的身份从未被证实。）可知，《萨摩色雷斯的胜利之翼》和《米洛的维纳斯》的共同之处是两者都与希腊信仰有关。故选A。
B
Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity.
Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.
But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised(临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.
He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one the javelin(标枪). The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second.
At the Olympics，he also took part in the decathlon(十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going.
I think Paul Dughi said it best, “ It’s hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.”
4. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. The adversity Thorpe met with led to his success.
B. Thorpe’s success was no guarantee of a better life.
C. Thorpe’s career brought him both gains and losses.
D. Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success.
5. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot?
A. To prevent the foot from injury.
B. To make the shoe fit the foot.
C. To stop the shoe from being stolen.
D. To show his problem-solving skills.
6. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin?
A. Loss of his own sports shoes.
B. A casual attitude towards the event.
C. Lack of experience in the event.
D. A shortage of talent for the event.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe?
A. Loyal and enthusiastic.
B. Genuine and creative.
C. Tough and strong-minded.
D. Selfless and good-tempered.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了美国印第安人吉姆·索普坎坷的人生经历和他作为运动员所取得的骄人成绩。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.”（索普是来自俄克拉荷马州的美洲印第安人，他在年轻时通过艰苦劳动发展了非凡的运动技能。也正是在他年轻的时候，他学会了忍受种族偏见带来的苦难。许多人会说他的童年并不容易。他出身贫寒，9岁时双胞胎兄弟去世，几年后他失去了双亲。）可知,吉姆·索普经历了很多苦难，幼年时双胞胎兄弟过世，随后父母双亡,青年时又困扰于种族偏见带来的磨难：以及划线句前面的yet表转折意义,可知,划线部分的意思是虽然索普后来有所成就，但却经历了很多苦难。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.”（鞋子有两个不同的尺寸，他一只脚上多穿了一双袜子来平衡。）可知，两只鞋大小不一，因此索普多穿袜子就是为了让鞋合脚。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“because he had never competed in that event before”（因为他以前从未参加过那个项目）可知，他没有参加过标枪比赛，因此比赛经验不足最可能是他失利的原因。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的叙述可知，吉姆·索普成长过程中经历过很多苦难，这很大程度上塑造了他坚韧不拔的性格。第三段的“But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes.”（但这并没有阻止他去做他喜欢的事情，去追求他的梦想。似乎没有什么能阻止他，甚至是偷来的鞋子。）正是对他坚韧不拔性格的刻画，由此可知, tough(坚韧的)和strong-minded(意志坚定的)是对他最准确的描述。故选C。
C
A 2020 study in the journal Science concluded that marine heat waves have increased more than 20-fold as a result of climate warming. The authors found that in the first decade after satellites began recording ocean temperatures (i.e., after 1981), there were 27 large marine heat waves, with an average duration of 32 days and an average peak temperature anomaly of 8.5°F; in the 2010s, there were 172, which lasted 48 days on average with an average peak temperature almost 10°F above normal.
Much remains unclear about marine heat waves. For example, explains Nicholas Bond, research scientist at the University of Washington and Washington’s state climatologist, there is the question of why so many persist for weeks or months. “There must be something else going on that helps maintain them,” he says. He notes that one explanation is that as the ocean surface warms, it radiates heat into the atmosphere that prevents cloud cover from forming, exposing the seawater to increased sunlight and further warming.
However, enough is known about marine heat waves for scientists to be gravely concerned about their potential impacts. Of special note is the fact that those impacts can last long after the heat waves have disappeared. After three years of the Blob, the waters of the northeastern Pacific began to cool in 2016; but years later, scientists are still determining the extent to which the region’s ecosystem is likely to return fully to its pre-Blob status. Similarly, notes Scannell, who is a data scientist with Jupiter Intelligence, Inc., following the 2010-11 Western Australia event, “lots of kelp(巨藻) forests died, and it takes literally decades for those ecosystems to bounce back”.
Eric Oliver, a scientist from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada, expressed his own opinion about the potential impact of the heat waves in tropical waters. “I think that’s really a tough issue,” he says. Life in the tropics, he notes, is adapted to “quite a narrow range of temperatures. So that’s where things can get really messy. We can have complete shifts in tropical systems.”
8. What can we infer from the figures listed in para. 1?
A. The problem of marine heat waves is becoming worse.
B. The satellites enable scientists to record ocean temperature precisely.
C. Climate change is the main cause of the marine heat waves.
D. Marine heat waves have been found by scientists for about 30 years.
9. What does the 2nd paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Various factors that lead to marine heat waves.
B. The possible impacts of a warm ocean surface.
C. The possible reason why marine heat waves last long.
D. Scientists’ efforts in exploring the causes of heat waves.
10. What do we know about the impact of the marine heat waves?
A. The impact will disappear shortly after the sea water cools.
B. It takes long before the ecosystem makes a complete recovery.
C. Scientists have known enough to restore the impact.
D. The northeastern Pacific and Western Australia are the worst cases.
11. What is Eric Oliver’s attitude towards the heat waves in tropic waters?
A. Concerned. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了海洋热浪增加的原因以及其对生态的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的句子“The authors found that in the first decade after satellites began recording ocean temperatures (i.e., after 1981), there were 27 large marine heat waves, with an average duration of 32 days and an average peak temperature anomaly of 8.5°F; in the 2010s, there were 172, which lasted 48 days on average with an average peak temperature almost 10°F above normal.（作者发现，在卫星开始记录海洋温度后的第一个十年(即1981年之后)，有27次大型海洋热浪，平均持续时间为32天，平均峰值温度异常为8.5°F; 在2010年代，有172次，平均持续48天，平均峰值温度几乎比正常高10华氏度）”和其中的数字对比可以推论出海洋热浪的问题越来越严重。故选A项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的主要内容，特别是前两句话“Much remains unclear about marine heat waves. For example, explains Nicholas Bond, research scientist at the University of Washington and Washington’s state climatologist, there is the question of why so many persist for weeks or months.‘There must be something else going on that helps maintain them’,” he says.（关于海洋热浪还有很多不清楚的地方。 例如，华盛顿大学的研究科学家、华盛顿州气候学家尼古拉斯·邦德解释说，有一个问题是为什么这么多的现象持续了几周或几个月。他说:‘肯定还有其他东西在帮助维持它们’）”可知，第二段主要讲的是海洋热浪持续时间长可能的原因。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的前两句“However, enough is known about marine heat waves for scientists to be gravely concerned about their potential impacts. Of special note is the fact that those impacts can last long after the heat waves have disappeared.（然而，科学家已经对海洋热浪有了足够的了解，足以对其潜在影响表示严重关切。 特别值得注意的是，这些影响可以在热浪消失后持续很长时间）”和下文的例子可知，受到海洋热浪影响后，生态系统要花很长时间才能完全恢复。故选B项。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后两句话“Life in the tropics, he notes, is adapted to ‘quite a narrow range of temperatures. So that’s where things can get really messy. We can have complete shifts in tropical systems.’（他指出，‘热带地区的生物适应的温度范围相当狭窄。这就是事情会变得非常混乱的地方。我们可以看到热带系统的完全转变’）”可知，Eric Oliver对热带海域的热浪是很担心的。故选A项。
D
People’s ability to remember fades with age — but one day, researchers might be able to use a simple, drug-free method to buck this trend.
In a study published on 22 August in Nature Neuroscience, Robert Reinhart, a cognitive neuroscientist at Boston University in Massachusetts, and his colleagues demonstrate that zapping(刺激) the brains of adults aged over 65 with weak electrical currents repeatedly over several days led to memory improvements that persisted for up to a month.
Using a non-invasive method of stimulating the brain known as transcranial alternating current stimulation (TACS), which delivers electrical currents through electrodes on the surface of the scalp, Reinhart’s team conducted a series of experiments on 150 people aged between 65 and 88. Participants carried out a memory task in which they were asked to recall lists of 20 words that were read aloud by an experimenter. The participants underwent TACS for the entire duration of the task, which took 20 minutes.
After four continuous days of this protocol, participants who received high-frequency stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(背外侧前额叶皮质) had an improved ability to remember words from the beginning of the lists, a task that depends on long-term memory. Low-frequency zaps to the inferior parietal lobe(顶下小叶) enhanced participants’ recall of items later in the lists, which involves ‘working’ memory — the memory that allows the brain to store information temporarily. Participants’ memory performance improved over the four days — and the gains persisted even a month later. Those who had the lowest levels of general cognitive function before the study experienced the largest memory improvements.
“I was both impressed and surprised by this, by this paper,” says Simon Hanslmayr, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Glasgow, UK. He notes that along with other scientists, he has been sceptical about whether TACS can lead to meaningful changes in cognition. One issue has been that TACS devices generate electrical currents much weaker than those created by other methods of stimulating the brain, so it hasn’t always been clear whether they can transmit enough electricity to the brain to modify its function. However, the authors of this study convincingly showed that their protocol was linked to “consistent and quite strong improvements in memory”, Hanslmayr says.
12. What does the underlined word “buck” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Operate. B. Destroy. C. Follow. D. Resist.
13. What can we learn about the experiments?
A. The experiments involved people aged over 65 and young students with good memory.
B. Participants were required to recall lists of 20 words when they read the words aloud.
C. Stimulating the inferior parietal lobe with low-frequency boosted the short-term memory.
D. High-frequency stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex improved ‘working’ memory.
14. Why has Simon Hanslmayr been sceptical about TACS?
A. The electricity sent by TACS is not sufficient to guarantee meaningful changes in cognition.
B. The people who have poor cognitive function experienced the least memory improvements.
C. TACS devices generate electrical currents as weak as those created by other methods.
D. TACS devices cannot ensure consistent and quite strong improvements in memory.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. TACS can lead to meaningful changes in cognition.
B. TACS can help people with conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.
C. Brain stimulation leads to long-lasting improvements in memory.
D. Brain stimulation benefits those with poor cognitive function most.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现用弱电流反复刺激成年人的大脑，可以使记忆改善持续长达一个月。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段中的“People’s ability to remember fades with age（人的记忆力会随着年龄的增长而衰退）”和句中的转折连词but以及划线词后面的this trend可知，研究人员找到的办法应该是能够抵制人的记忆力随着年龄的增长而衰退的趋势。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“Low-frequency zaps to the inferior parietal lobe(顶下小叶) enhanced participants’ recall of items later in the lists, which involves ‘working’ memory — the memory that allows the brain to store information temporarily.（下顶叶的低频电击增强了参与者对列表中后面的项目的回忆，这涉及到“工作”记忆——允许大脑临时存储信息的记忆）”可知，低频刺激顶叶对短时记忆有促进作用。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“He notes that along with other scientists, he has been sceptical about whether TACS can lead to meaningful changes in cognition. One issue has been that TACS devices generate electrical currents much weaker than those created by other methods of stimulating the brain, so it hasn’t always been clear whether they can transmit enough electricity to the brain to modify its function.（他指出，和其他科学家一样，他一直怀疑tACS是否能导致认知的有意义的改变。 一个问题是，TACS设备产生的电流比其他刺激大脑的方法产生的电流弱得多，所以一直不清楚它们是否能向大脑传输足够的电流来改变大脑的功能）”可知，Simon Hanslmayr怀疑TACS是因为TACS发出的电流不足以保证认知发生有意义的变化。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。这篇文章的主要内容是研究人员发现用弱电流反复刺激成年人的大脑，可以使记忆改善持续长达一个月。故选C项。
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。
Success looks different for everyone. For one person, it could mean getting a promotion or creating a better work-life balance. ____16____
But while making changes in your life can seem overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be. You can do small things that have a huge impact on your quality of life. Check out three things you can do that will empower you to be more successful — on your own terms.
Set weekly and monthly goals.
Setting regular goals for yourself can keep you from getting stagnant(停滞不前的) in both your professional and personal life. The best way to keep track of your goals is to write them down. Jot them down on a whiteboard, a notepad on your desk, or an online calendar — anywhere you can see them regularly. (“Exercise three times this week”, for example, or
“Finish a big presentation.”) ____17____
Set aside time for yourself every day.
____18____ It’s important to stop, take a breath, and have some time just for yourself. Set up calendar alerts or block out “busy” time in your daily calendar that makes you unavailable to others. During this time, you could go out for a real lunch away from your desk, take a walk, work on a side project, or even read a book. Whatever it is, be sure to use this time to recharge your batteries.
____19____
It’s easy to spend all your leisure time binge-watching(一口气看完) shows on Netflix or being addicted to social media. But when was the last time you tried something new that put you out of your comfort zone? In order to avoid getting bored, it’s important to break out of your comfort zone by finding fresh activities and passions. ____20____ Pick one thing that you’ve always wanted to do, or something that you liked when you were a kid and never pursued. Then start researching ways you can make it happen. By opening yourself up to different experiences, you’re bound to learn something new about yourself.
A. Expand horizons and explore yourself.
B. Change the way you network.
C. It’s best to power down your devices at least an hour before you hit the sack(床) to ensure you sleep soundly.
D. By having a constant visual reminder, you’ll be able to keep yourself going forward and measure your progress better.
E. Someone else may want to improve their relationships or learn new skills.
F. Too often, the workday speeds by in a nonstop scream of meetings, email, and deadlines.
G. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to do this from volunteering to joining a sports league to learning a new language.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章列举了对人们的生活质量有巨大影响、让人更加成功的三件小事。
【16题详解】
根据空格前的句子“Success looks different for everyone. For one person, it could mean getting a promotion or creating a better work-life balance.(每个人的成功看起来都不一样。 对一个人来说，这可能意味着升职或创造更好的工作与生活平衡)”可知，此处说的是对不同的人而言，成功的意义不一样。E项“Someone else may want to improve their relationships or learn new skills.(其他人可能想要改善他们的关系或学习新的技能)”符合题意，承接上文。故选E项。
【17题详解】
根据空格前的句子“The best way to keep track of your goals is to write them down. Jot them on a whiteboard, a notepad on your desk, or an online calendar—anywhere you can see them regularly. (‘Exercise three times this week’, for example, or‘Finish a big presentation.’) (记录目标的最好方法就是把它们写下来。把它们记在白板上，桌子上的记事本上，或者在线日历上——任何你能经常看到的地方。例如，“本周锻炼三次”或“完成一个大型报告”)”可知，要把目标记下来，并放到能经常看到的地方。这样做的好处是什么呢？空格处的句子应该是解释这个问题。D项“By having a constant visual reminder, you’ll be able to keep yourself accountable and measure your progress better.(通过不断的视觉提醒，你可以让自己更负责，更好地衡量自己的进步)”符合题意。故填D项。
18题详解】
根据该部分的主题“Set aside time for yourself every day.(每天给自己留点时间)”和空格后的句子“It’s important to stop, take a breath, and have some time just for yourself.(重要的是停下来，深呼吸，给自己留点时间)”可知，作者建议每天给自己留点时间。为什么呢？空格处的句子应该是涉及到为什么建议每天给自己留点时间。F项“Too often, the workday speeds by in a nonstop blur (模糊) of meetings, email, and deadlines.(太多时候，工作日在不停的会议、电子邮件和截止日期中飞速流逝)”符合题意。故选F项。

空格处是最后一部分的主题句。根据最后一段的内容，特别是其中的句子“In order to avoid getting bored, it’s important to break out of your comfort zone by finding fresh activities and passions.(为了避免无聊，重要的是要跳出你的舒适区，寻找新鲜的活动和激情)”和“By opening yourself up to different experiences, you’re bound to learn something new about yourself.(通过接受不同的经历，你一定会对自己有新的认识)”可知，作者建议寻找新鲜的活动和激情、体验不同的经历，以此来拓展视野。A项“Expand your horizons.(拓展你的视野)”作为主题句，符合题意。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据空格前的句子“In order to avoid getting bored, it’s important to break out of your comfort zone by finding fresh activities and passions.(为了避免无聊，重要的是要跳出你的舒适区，寻找新鲜的活动和激情)”可知，作者建议跳出舒适区，寻找新鲜的活动和激情，G项“Fortunately, there are a number of ways to do this from volunteering to joining a sports league to learning a new language.(幸运的是，有很多方法可以做到这一点，从志愿服务到加入体育联盟，再到学习一门新语言)”作者正好建议了这样的活动，和上一句是顺接关系，符合题意。故选G项。

【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：绿色的字母表示该字母在单词中，并且在正确的位置。根据句意，“在单词中”与“在正确的位置”之间是并列关系，故填and。
【45题详解】

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis, and he was my cousin. By the age of 19, Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be exactly like him. So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!
After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies, and began our great adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester worked.
Finally, after a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, he started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze — dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work.
Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up；the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.
The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was suddenly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed 倒塌) with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.
Paragraph 1:
Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation. Our campsite was in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only underwear, with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cellphones. Even Steve was unsure what to do next. The only thing we could do was just sit in the cold air and wonder how to get out of the forest.
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared. A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check. We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents. Steve and I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Steve began to treat me more like a friend rather than a younger cousin. Our friendship continues to this day.

【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者和表哥史蒂夫去尼苏达州北部的苏必利尔山国家森林营地里露营，准备第二天去钓鱼。但是由于夜里刮起了大风，导致帐篷着火了。幸运地是，作者把手伸进了燃烧的帐篷，把史蒂夫拉出来了，都没受什么重伤。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：后来，当我们站在燃烧的帐篷旁取暖时，我们想到了我们的困难处境。所以应该写当时困难的情况。要详细些什么都被烧了，一无所有，不知道怎么办等。第二段开头是：突然，我们听到森林里有声音。本段应该写他们获救了，而且这次露营奠定了作者和史蒂夫以后经常去露营的基础。
还要续写的词数应为150左右，情节描述适当。

第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题2.5 分，满分 37.5 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Originally a medieval fortress and kings’ homes on the right bank of the Seine, the Louvre Museum has many famous pieces on permanent display.
Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci, has been on display at the Louvre Museum since 1797. More than six million people visit the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa each year. The fame is almost entirely the result of a robbery that took place in 1911, when the Mona Lisa was taken from the Louvre by an Italian patriot. The thief was caught trying to sell the painting to the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and the Mona Lisa was returned to Paris in early 1914.
Winged Victory of Samothrace
Representing the Greek goddess of victory, Nike was found in hundreds of different pieces in 1863 on the Greek island of Samothrace before she was brought to the Louvre Museum. She was positioned as the sole figure on top of a staircase in the museum in 1863 where she has remained ever since. The athletic wear company of the same name used the goddess of victory as inspiration for the brand, and the Nike logo is taken from the shape of the top of her wings.
Venus de Milo
Discovered in 1820 on the Greek island of Milo, the Venus de Milo was gifted to King Louis XⅧ, who donated it to the Louvre collection. Venus de Milo is thought to represent the Greek goddess Aphrodite, though her identity has never been proven. She is positioned to appear as if she is looking across the other Roman depictions of Venus that appear in the same hall at the Louvre Museum.
Liberty Leading the People
Painted by Eugene Delacroix, this work depicts a woman, a symbol of the French Revolution known as Marianne, holding the tricolor revolutionary French flag that would later become the official flag of France, while standing above the bodies of fallen men. Delacroix created the painting to commemorate the July Revolution, which toppled King Charles X of France. In 1874, it was acquired by the Louvre Museum.
1. What do we know about the painting Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum?
A. It has attracted a total of six million people to the museum.
B. It was so famous as to almost fuel a crime in 1911.
C. It was once displayed in the Uffizi Museum in Florence.
D. It was not kept in the Louvre Museum for several years.
2. Which of the following pieces is set in France?
A. Mona Lisa. B. Winged Victory of Samothrace.
C. Venus de Milo. D. Liberty Leading the People.
3. What do the “Winged Victory of Samothrace” and “Venus de Milo” have in common?
A. Both of them are connected with Greek beliefs.
B. Both of them inspired athletic wear designers.
C. Both of them were positioned as sole figures.
D. Both of them were gifts to French kings.
【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了最初是塞纳河右岸的中世纪要塞和国王的住所卢浮宫里永久展出的四个著名的作品。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Mona Lisa“The fame is almost entirely the result of a robbery that took place in 1911, when the Mona Lisa was taken from the Louvre by an Italian patriot. The thief was caught trying to sell the painting to the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and the Mona Lisa was returned to Paris in early 1914.”（蒙娜丽莎的成名几乎完全是因为1911年发生的一起抢劫案，当时一名意大利爱国者从卢浮宫偷走了《蒙娜丽莎》。窃贼在向佛罗伦萨乌菲齐博物馆出售画作时被抓获，《蒙娜丽莎》于1914年初被归还巴黎。）可知，关于卢浮宫博物馆里的《蒙娜丽莎》我们知道这幅画好几年都没有留在卢浮宫。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Liberty Leading the People“Painted by Eugene Delacroix, this work depicts a woman, a symbol of the French Revolution known as Marianne, holding the tricolor revolutionary French flag that would later become the official flag of France, while standing above the bodies of fallen men. Delacroix created the painting to commemorate the July Revolution, which toppled King Charles X of France. In 1874, it was acquired by the Louvre Museum.”（这幅作品由尤金·德拉克洛瓦创作，描绘了一个被称为玛丽安的法国革命的象征，她举着后来成为法国官方旗帜的法国革命三色旗，站在倒下的男人的尸体上方。德拉克洛瓦创作这幅画是为了纪念推翻法国国王查理十世的七月革命。1874年，它被卢浮宫博物馆收购。）可知，《自由领导人民》这个作品是以法国为背景的，故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Winged Victory of Samothrace“Representing the Greek goddess of victory, Nike was found in hundreds of different pieces in 1863 on the Greek island of Samothrace before she was brought to the Louvre Museum. ”（Nike是希腊胜利女神的象征，1863年，人们在希腊的萨摩色雷斯岛(Samothrace)发现了它的数百件不同的作品，之后它被带到卢浮宫博物馆。）以及Venus de Milo“Discovered in 1820 on the Greek island of Milo, the Venus de Milo was gifted to King Louis XⅧ, who donated it to the Louvre collection. Venus de Milo is thought to represent the Greek goddess Aphrodite, though her identity has never been proven.”（《米洛的维纳斯》于1820年在希腊米洛岛被发现，被赠予国王路易十世Ⅷ，后者将其捐赠给卢浮宫收藏。米洛的维纳斯被认为代表希腊女神阿佛洛狄忒，尽管她的身份从未被证实。）可知，《萨摩色雷斯的胜利之翼》和《米洛的维纳斯》的共同之处是两者都与希腊信仰有关。故选A。
B
Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity.
Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.
But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised(临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.
He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one the javelin(标枪). The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second.
At the Olympics，he also took part in the decathlon(十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going.
I think Paul Dughi said it best, “ It’s hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.”
4. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. The adversity Thorpe met with led to his success.
B. Thorpe’s success was no guarantee of a better life.
C. Thorpe’s career brought him both gains and losses.
D. Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success.
5. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot?
A. To prevent the foot from injury.
B. To make the shoe fit the foot.
C. To stop the shoe from being stolen.
D. To show his problem-solving skills.
6. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin?
A. Loss of his own sports shoes.
B. A casual attitude towards the event.
C. Lack of experience in the event.
D. A shortage of talent for the event.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe?
A. Loyal and enthusiastic.
B. Genuine and creative.
C. Tough and strong-minded.
D. Selfless and good-tempered.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了美国印第安人吉姆·索普坎坷的人生经历和他作为运动员所取得的骄人成绩。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.”（索普是来自俄克拉荷马州的美洲印第安人，他在年轻时通过艰苦劳动发展了非凡的运动技能。也正是在他年轻的时候，他学会了忍受种族偏见带来的苦难。许多人会说他的童年并不容易。他出身贫寒，9岁时双胞胎兄弟去世，几年后他失去了双亲。）可知,吉姆·索普经历了很多苦难，幼年时双胞胎兄弟过世，随后父母双亡,青年时又困扰于种族偏见带来的磨难：以及划线句前面的yet表转折意义,可知,划线部分的意思是虽然索普后来有所成就，但却经历了很多苦难。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.”（鞋子有两个不同的尺寸，他一只脚上多穿了一双袜子来平衡。）可知，两只鞋大小不一，因此索普多穿袜子就是为了让鞋合脚。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“because he had never competed in that event before”（因为他以前从未参加过那个项目）可知，他没有参加过标枪比赛，因此比赛经验不足最可能是他失利的原因。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的叙述可知，吉姆·索普成长过程中经历过很多苦难，这很大程度上塑造了他坚韧不拔的性格。第三段的“But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes.”（但这并没有阻止他去做他喜欢的事情，去追求他的梦想。似乎没有什么能阻止他，甚至是偷来的鞋子。）正是对他坚韧不拔性格的刻画，由此可知, tough(坚韧的)和strong-minded(意志坚定的)是对他最准确的描述。故选C。
C
A 2020 study in the journal Science concluded that marine heat waves have increased more than 20-fold as a result of climate warming. The authors found that in the first decade after satellites began recording ocean temperatures (i.e., after 1981), there were 27 large marine heat waves, with an average duration of 32 days and an average peak temperature anomaly of 8.5°F; in the 2010s, there were 172, which lasted 48 days on average with an average peak temperature almost 10°F above normal.
Much remains unclear about marine heat waves. For example, explains Nicholas Bond, research scientist at the University of Washington and Washington’s state climatologist, there is the question of why so many persist for weeks or months. “There must be something else going on that helps maintain them,” he says. He notes that one explanation is that as the ocean surface warms, it radiates heat into the atmosphere that prevents cloud cover from forming, exposing the seawater to increased sunlight and further warming.
However, enough is known about marine heat waves for scientists to be gravely concerned about their potential impacts. Of special note is the fact that those impacts can last long after the heat waves have disappeared. After three years of the Blob, the waters of the northeastern Pacific began to cool in 2016; but years later, scientists are still determining the extent to which the region’s ecosystem is likely to return fully to its pre-Blob status. Similarly, notes Scannell, who is a data scientist with Jupiter Intelligence, Inc., following the 2010-11 Western Australia event, “lots of kelp(巨藻) forests died, and it takes literally decades for those ecosystems to bounce back”.
Eric Oliver, a scientist from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada, expressed his own opinion about the potential impact of the heat waves in tropical waters. “I think that’s really a tough issue,” he says. Life in the tropics, he notes, is adapted to “quite a narrow range of temperatures. So that’s where things can get really messy. We can have complete shifts in tropical systems.”
8. What can we infer from the figures listed in para. 1?
A. The problem of marine heat waves is becoming worse.
B. The satellites enable scientists to record ocean temperature precisely.
C. Climate change is the main cause of the marine heat waves.
D. Marine heat waves have been found by scientists for about 30 years.
9. What does the 2nd paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Various factors that lead to marine heat waves.
B. The possible impacts of a warm ocean surface.
C. The possible reason why marine heat waves last long.
D. Scientists’ efforts in exploring the causes of heat waves.
10. What do we know about the impact of the marine heat waves?
A. The impact will disappear shortly after the sea water cools.
B. It takes long before the ecosystem makes a complete recovery.
C. Scientists have known enough to restore the impact.
D. The northeastern Pacific and Western Australia are the worst cases.
11. What is Eric Oliver’s attitude towards the heat waves in tropic waters?
A. Concerned. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Optimistic.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了海洋热浪增加的原因以及其对生态的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的句子“The authors found that in the first decade after satellites began recording ocean temperatures (i.e., after 1981), there were 27 large marine heat waves, with an average duration of 32 days and an average peak temperature anomaly of 8.5°F; in the 2010s, there were 172, which lasted 48 days on average with an average peak temperature almost 10°F above normal.（作者发现，在卫星开始记录海洋温度后的第一个十年(即1981年之后)，有27次大型海洋热浪，平均持续时间为32天，平均峰值温度异常为8.5°F; 在2010年代，有172次，平均持续48天，平均峰值温度几乎比正常高10华氏度）”和其中的数字对比可以推论出海洋热浪的问题越来越严重。故选A项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的主要内容，特别是前两句话“Much remains unclear about marine heat waves. For example, explains Nicholas Bond, research scientist at the University of Washington and Washington’s state climatologist, there is the question of why so many persist for weeks or months.‘There must be something else going on that helps maintain them’,” he says.（关于海洋热浪还有很多不清楚的地方。 例如，华盛顿大学的研究科学家、华盛顿州气候学家尼古拉斯·邦德解释说，有一个问题是为什么这么多的现象持续了几周或几个月。他说:‘肯定还有其他东西在帮助维持它们’）”可知，第二段主要讲的是海洋热浪持续时间长可能的原因。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的前两句“However, enough is known about marine heat waves for scientists to be gravely concerned about their potential impacts. Of special note is the fact that those impacts can last long after the heat waves have disappeared.（然而，科学家已经对海洋热浪有了足够的了解，足以对其潜在影响表示严重关切。 特别值得注意的是，这些影响可以在热浪消失后持续很长时间）”和下文的例子可知，受到海洋热浪影响后，生态系统要花很长时间才能完全恢复。故选B项。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后两句话“Life in the tropics, he notes, is adapted to ‘quite a narrow range of temperatures. So that’s where things can get really messy. We can have complete shifts in tropical systems.’（他指出，‘热带地区的生物适应的温度范围相当狭窄。这就是事情会变得非常混乱的地方。我们可以看到热带系统的完全转变’）”可知，Eric Oliver对热带海域的热浪是很担心的。故选A项。

People’s ability to remember fades with age — but one day, researchers might be able to use a simple, drug-free method to buck this trend.
In a study published on 22 August in Nature Neuroscience, Robert Reinhart, a cognitive neuroscientist at Boston University in Massachusetts, and his colleagues demonstrate that zapping(刺激) the brains of adults aged over 65 with weak electrical currents repeatedly over several days led to memory improvements that persisted for up to a month.
Using a non-invasive method of stimulating the brain known as transcranial alternating current stimulation (TACS), which delivers electrical currents through electrodes on the surface of the scalp, Reinhart’s team conducted a series of experiments on 150 people aged between 65 and 88. Participants carried out a memory task in which they were asked to recall lists of 20 words that were read aloud by an experimenter. The participants underwent TACS for the entire duration of the task, which took 20 minutes.
After four continuous days of this protocol, participants who received high-frequency stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(背外侧前额叶皮质) had an improved ability to remember words from the beginning of the lists, a task that depends on long-term memory. Low-frequency zaps to the inferior parietal lobe(顶下小叶) enhanced participants’ recall of items later in the lists, which involves ‘working’ memory — the memory that allows the brain to store information temporarily. Participants’ memory performance improved over the four days — and the gains persisted even a month later. Those who had the lowest levels of general cognitive function before the study experienced the largest memory improvements.
“I was both impressed and surprised by this, by this paper,” says Simon Hanslmayr, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Glasgow, UK. He notes that along with other scientists, he has been sceptical about whether TACS can lead to meaningful changes in cognition. One issue has been that TACS devices generate electrical currents much weaker than those created by other methods of stimulating the brain, so it hasn’t always been clear whether they can transmit enough electricity to the brain to modify its function. However, the authors of this study convincingly showed that their protocol was linked to “consistent and quite strong improvements in memory”, Hanslmayr says.
12. What does the underlined word “buck” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Operate. B. Destroy. C. Follow. D. Resist.
13. What can we learn about the experiments?
A. The experiments involved people aged over 65 and young students with good memory.
B. Participants were required to recall lists of 20 words when they read the words aloud.
C. Stimulating the inferior parietal lobe with low-frequency boosted the short-term memory.
D. High-frequency stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex improved ‘working’ memory.
14. Why has Simon Hanslmayr been sceptical about TACS?
A. The electricity sent by TACS is not sufficient to guarantee meaningful changes in cognition.
B. The people who have poor cognitive function experienced the least memory improvements.
C. TACS devices generate electrical currents as weak as those created by other methods.
D. TACS devices cannot ensure consistent and quite strong improvements in memory.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. TACS can lead to meaningful changes in cognition.
B. TACS can help people with conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.
C. Brain stimulation leads to long-lasting improvements in memory.
D. Brain stimulation benefits those with poor cognitive function most.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现用弱电流反复刺激成年人的大脑，可以使记忆改善持续长达一个月。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段中的“People’s ability to remember fades with age（人的记忆力会随着年龄的增长而衰退）”和句中的转折连词but以及划线词后面的this trend可知，研究人员找到的办法应该是能够抵制人的记忆力随着年龄的增长而衰退的趋势。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“Low-frequency zaps to the inferior parietal lobe(顶下小叶) enhanced participants’ recall of items later in the lists, which involves ‘working’ memory — the memory that allows the brain to store information temporarily.（下顶叶的低频电击增强了参与者对列表中后面的项目的回忆，这涉及到“工作”记忆——允许大脑临时存储信息的记忆）”可知，低频刺激顶叶对短时记忆有促进作用。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“He notes that along with other scientists, he has been sceptical about whether TACS can lead to meaningful changes in cognition. One issue has been that TACS devices generate electrical currents much weaker than those created by other methods of stimulating the brain, so it hasn’t always been clear whether they can transmit enough electricity to the brain to modify its function.（他指出，和其他科学家一样，他一直怀疑tACS是否能导致认知的有意义的改变。 一个问题是，TACS设备产生的电流比其他刺激大脑的方法产生的电流弱得多，所以一直不清楚它们是否能向大脑传输足够的电流来改变大脑的功能）”可知，Simon Hanslmayr怀疑TACS是因为TACS发出的电流不足以保证认知发生有意义的变化。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。这篇文章的主要内容是研究人员发现用弱电流反复刺激成年人的大脑，可以使记忆改善持续长达一个月。故选C项。

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。
Success looks different for everyone. For one person, it could mean getting a promotion or creating a better work-life balance. ____16____
But while making changes in your life can seem overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be. You can do small things that have a huge impact on your quality of life. Check out three things you can do that will empower you to be more successful — on your own terms.
Set weekly and monthly goals.
Setting regular goals for yourself can keep you from getting stagnant(停滞不前的) in both your professional and personal life. The best way to keep track of your goals is to write them down. Jot them down on a whiteboard, a notepad on your desk, or an online calendar — anywhere you can see them regularly. (“Exercise three times this week”, for example, or
“Finish a big presentation.”) ____17____
Set aside time for yourself every day.
____18____ It’s important to stop, take a breath, and have some time just for yourself. Set up calendar alerts or block out “busy” time in your daily calendar that makes you unavailable to others. During this time, you could go out for a real lunch away from your desk, take a walk, work on a side project, or even read a book. Whatever it is, be sure to use this time to recharge your batteries.
____19____
It’s easy to spend all your leisure time binge-watching(一口气看完) shows on Netflix or being addicted to social media. But when was the last time you tried something new that put you out of your comfort zone? In order to avoid getting bored, it’s important to break out of your comfort zone by finding fresh activities and passions. ____20____ Pick one thing that you’ve always wanted to do, or something that you liked when you were a kid and never pursued. Then start researching ways you can make it happen. By opening yourself up to different experiences, you’re bound to learn something new about yourself.
A. Expand horizons and explore yourself.
B. Change the way you network.
C. It’s best to power down your devices at least an hour before you hit the sack(床) to ensure you sleep soundly.
D. By having a constant visual reminder, you’ll be able to keep yourself going forward and measure your progress better.
E. Someone else may want to improve their relationships or learn new skills.
F. Too often, the workday speeds by in a nonstop scream of meetings, email, and deadlines.
G. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to do this from volunteering to joining a sports league to learning a new language.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一款非常流行的在线文字游戏——Wordle。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在线文字游戏已经变得如此流行，以至于有些人一天都离不开它。此处泛指一天，且day是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词a，故填a。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：到2021年11月1日，只有90人玩过Wordle。根据时间状语“By November 1, 2021”可知用过去完成时，故填had played。
【38题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：它非常简单，这可能就是它传播如此迅速的原因。空处引导表语从句并在从句中作原因状语，that’s why+结果，表示“这就是……的原因”，故填why。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它只包含30个出现在“WORDLE”下的空正方形。分析可知，空处使用非谓语动词作后置定语，squares与appear是逻辑上的主谓关系，用现在分词表主动，故填appearing。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：玩家有六次机会猜一个由五个字母组成的单词，这个单词是游戏为那天选出的。根据句意，用for表示“为了”，故填for。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：目标是以最少的尝试次数猜出单词。说明主语的内容应用不定式作表语。故填to guess。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：目标是以最少的尝试次数猜出单词。根据句意，此处表示“尝试的次数”，用可数名词复数表泛指，故填tries。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：一开始，玩家输入一个真实的单词，这个单词的字母会变成不同的颜色，以提供有关这个单词的线索。此处为限定性定语从句，关系词指代先行词word并在从句中作letters的定语，即word’s letters，用关系代词whose，故填whose。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：绿色的字母表示该字母在单词中，并且在正确的位置。根据句意，“在单词中”与“在正确的位置”之间是并列关系，故填and。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：最初，这款游戏是纽约软件工程师乔希·沃德尔(Josh Wardle)为了激活办公室氛围而创造的。修饰后文句子应用副词originally，作状语。句首单词首字母要大写。故填Originally。

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis, and he was my cousin. By the age of 19, Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be exactly like him. So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!
After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies, and began our great adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester worked.
Finally, after a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, he started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze — dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work.
Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up；the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.
The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was suddenly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed 倒塌) with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.
Paragraph 1:
Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation. Our campsite was in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only underwear, with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cellphones. Even Steve was unsure what to do next. The only thing we could do was just sit in the cold air and wonder how to get out of the forest.
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared. A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check. We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents. Steve and I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Steve began to treat me more like a friend rather than a younger cousin. Our friendship continues to this day.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者和表哥史蒂夫去尼苏达州北部的苏必利尔山国家森林营地里露营，准备第二天去钓鱼。但是由于夜里刮起了大风，导致帐篷着火了。幸运地是，作者把手伸进了燃烧的帐篷，把史蒂夫拉出来了，都没受什么重伤。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：后来，当我们站在燃烧的帐篷旁取暖时，我们想到了我们的困难处境。所以应该写当时困难的情况。要详细些什么都被烧了，一无所有，不知道怎么办等。第二段开头是：突然，我们听到森林里有声音。本段应该写他们获救了，而且这次露营奠定了作者和史蒂夫以后经常去露营的基础。
还要续写的词数应为150左右，情节描述适当。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：stand by，far away from，stare into，from then on等高级词汇；We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only underwear，with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cellphones.使用了现在分词作状语和with的复合结构；The only thing we could do was just sit in the cold air and wonder how to get out of the forest.使用了省略that的定语从句和and连接的并列句；We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents.使用了where引导的非限制性定语从句；Steve and I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Steve began to treat me more like a friend rather than a younger cousin.使用了强调句等高级句式。
