【解析】
【原文】The findings of a new study by the university of southern California indicate that whether it is around the dinner table or in front of the television. But members of US families are spending less time with each other as family time eventually decreases. There is a rise in the use of Internet and the number of social networking sites. Although a new study did not say that those sites are to blame for. The Annenberg center for the digital future at the university of southern California revealed that 28% of those who took part in the survey reported that they have been spending less time with members of their families. That figure has nearly tripled since 2006 when11% of families had indicated to be spending less time with household members.
However,these individuals did not report spending less time with their friends in the beginning of the 21st century in 2000. People spent about 26 hours every month with their families. By 2008,the number dropped to just 18 hours. In addition, the study found that a high percentage of Internet users reported being ignored sometimes and often because another member of the family spent too much time looking through the web, 44% reporting, and even higher percentage50% said that they were ignored because other members spent too much time watching television.

As an only child, Nicole Renae often felt lonely in her youth. But that all changedwhen she turned ten. For her birthday, Renae’s grandmother surprised her with anadorable gray puppy named Chloe.
From the very start, the two were inseparable. Chloe would lick Renae’s face forever unless stopped. But when Renae was 14, her father got a new band worked from home. Then the house needed to be free of distractions. “Chloe was very noisy,” Renae says. “With no easier option, my family had to surrender Chloe to a humane society.”
In time, Renae grew up, got married, and had a child of her own. Remembering the joy that having a dog had brought her as a kid, Renae wanted her daughter to experience the same. She had it in her mind that she would one day adopt a puppy, but then she saw a post on Facebook about a senior dog that needed a new home. The dog in the photograph looked a lot like Chloe, and she was even named Chloe. In an instant it was decided that she would adopt this older dog.
When she met Chloe, Renae was struck with an uncanny (离奇的) feeling. The dog seemed so familiar. “She ran up to me and started licking my face,” she says. Chloe reminded Renae so much of her old dog that the emotion overwhelmed her. “I was crying,” Renae says. “I just knew in my heart that it was her.” Still, eight years had passed since Renae had seen Chloe last, so the thought seemed to be little more than wishful thinking. “My whole family thought I was nuts,” Renae says.
But Renae’s mom realized there was a way to test the theory: Their Chloe had been microchipped as a puppy. They found the ID number, then Renae took her new Chloe to the vet to be scanned. Sure enough, she also had a microchip.
“The numbers were a match,” Renae says. Renae was overjoyed to have Chloe back. “She knows that she’ll be with me forever.”
24. Why did Renae’s family send Chloe to a humane society?
A. To avoid Chloe licking Renae too much.
B. To find Chloe a new owner.
C. To leave Renae’s father undisturbed.
D. To get Chloe better trained.
25. What was the first reaction of Renae’s family when she claimed the dog was her Chloe?
A. They expressed their great support for Renae.
B. They thought that Renae’s idea was crazy.
C. They wished Renae had reminded them earlier.
D. They felt extremely sympathetic to Chloe.
26. How did Renae determine Chloe’s identity?
A. By reading a post on Facebook.
B. By recognizing her in the photo.
C. By checking her microchip number.
D By having her treated by the vet.
27. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Close Friends to Humans
B. A Faithful Dog
C. Forever Love to Pets
D. An Unforgettable Reunion
【答案】24 C 25. B 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述的是Nicole Renae想为自己女儿收养一只幼犬,结果在Facebook上看到老年犬Chloe需要一位新主人。想到儿时陪伴自己的同名犬Chloe,Renae毫不犹豫收养了她。令Renae一家人惊喜的是,经过验证,她就是曾陪伴过Renae的Chloe。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“But when Renae was 14, her father got a new band worked from home. Then the house needed to be free of distractions. “Chloe was very noisy,” Renae says. “With no easier option, my family had to surrender Chloe to a humane society.”(但在Renae14岁时,她父亲在家里组建了一支新乐队。然后房子就需要远离干扰。“Chloe很吵,”Renae说。“没有更容易的选择,我的家人不得不把Chloe交给一个人道组织。”)”可知,Renae爸爸居家搞音乐需要安静环境,而Chloe比较吵,所以只能把Chloe送走,给爸爸留下不被打扰的空间。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Still, eight years had passed since Renae had seen Chloe last, so the thought seemed to be little more than wishful thinking. “My whole family thought I was nuts,” Renae says.(尽管如此,自从Renae最后一次见到Chloe已经过去了八年,所以这个想法似乎只是一厢情愿的想法。“我全家人都认为我疯了,”Renae说。)”可知,Renae认为Chloe是自己以前那条狗让她的家人认为这个想法很疯狂。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Their Chloe had been microchipped as a puppy. They found the ID number, then Renae took her new Chloe to the vet to be scanned. Sure enough, she also had a microchip.(他们的Chloe从小就被植入了微型芯片。他们找到了身份证号码,然后Renae带着她的新的Chloe去兽医那里做了扫描。果不其然,她身上还有一个微芯片。)”和最后一段的“The numbers were a match(号码匹配上了)”可知,Chloe的身份是通过核对电子身份证号码确定的。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是倒数第二段的“Their Chloe had been microchipped as a puppy. They found the ID number, then Renae took her new Chloe to the vet to be scanned. Sure enough, she also had a microchip.(他们的Chloe从小就被植入了微型芯片。他们找到了身份证号码,然后Renae带着她的新的Chloe去兽医那里做了扫描。果不其然,她身上还有一个微芯片。)”和最后一段的““The numbers were a match,” Renae says. Renae was overjoyed to have Chloe back. “She knows that she’ll be with me forever.”(“这些数字匹配上了,”Renae说。Renae见到Chloe回来欣喜若狂。“她知道她会永远和我在一起。”)”可知,本文讲述的是Nicole Renae想为自己女儿收养一只幼犬,结果在Facebook上看到老年犬Chloe需要一位新主人。想到儿时陪伴自己的同名犬Chloe,Renae毫不犹豫收养了她。令Renae一家人惊喜的是,经过验证,她就是曾陪伴过Renae的Chloe,D项“An Unforgettable Reunion(一次难忘的团聚)”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。
C
Dinner was almost ready when the killing happened. When Don Wise walked into the living room of his home, his ten-year-old son, Mike, and a 12-year-old friend were sitting in front of a large-screen television set. They were playing a video game they had rented, called Goldeneye 007, one of the top-selling titles of 2007.
Standing behind the boys, Wise saw that one boy pushed the button and shot the character in the face. Blood splattered (喷溅) the lab coat of the character as he circled and fell. “You’re down!” the boy said, laughing. Frightened by the child’s obvious fun, Wise ordered the boys to turn the game off. “This game is terrible.” he said seriously. “I don’t want you to play with this any more.”
Video games have become a pervasive form of entertainment since the 1990s. Today about 69 percent of American families own or rent video and computer games. Most are harmless entertainment, but in far too many of the most popular ones, kids are acting out realistic violent experiences on their TV and computer screens. “These are not just games any more,” says Rick Dyer, president of the San Diego-based Virtual Image Productions. “These are learning machines. We’re teaching kids in the most incredible way what it’s like to pull the trigger (扳机). The focus is on the thrill, enjoyment and reward. What they’re not realizing are the real-life consequences.” Such video games introduce kids to a fantasy world that features amazingly lifelike characters, detailed images of brutality (野蛮) , and an audio mix of heart-pounding music, stereo sound effects and realistic voices. Unlike movies and television, where you watch the violence, the video game lets you feel the sensation of taking violent actions. When you’re into the game, you’re in the game.
“The technology is becoming more engaging for kids,” says David Walsh, president of the National Institute on Media and the Family(NIMF) , a watchdog group in Minneapolis, “and a part of the games features anti-social themes of violence, sex and rude language. Unfortunately, it’s a part that seems particularly popular with kids between ages 8 to15.”
28. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of this passage?
A. Video game violence is very harmful to kids.
B. Video game is a common form of entertainment.
C. Video game violence is popular with children.
D. Video game is the reflection of the real-life violence.
29. We can infer from the passage that the ________.
A. NIMF is characteristic for its social justice
B. NIMF is a political organization in Minneapolis
C. NIMF promotes video games and other media products
D. NIMF detects the media industry’s improper actions
30. The underlined word “pervasive” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. worldwide B. instructive C. widespread D. harmful
31. Which of the following statements would Rick Dyer agree with?
A. Video games with some violence teach kids to experience real life.
B. Video games are realistic ways to learn more about the real-life world.
C. Video games with fantastic features are loved by most kids in the US.
D. Violence and sex content video games have a negative influence on children.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要通过讲述Don Wise看见儿子玩电子游戏的反应而引出电子游戏中和暴力有关的内容对小孩儿的负面影响。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段中的“Most are harmless entertainment, but in far too many of the most popular ones, kids are acting out realistic violent experiences on their TV and computer screens.(大多数是无害的娱乐,但在大多数最受欢迎的娱乐中,孩子们在电视和电脑屏幕上表演真实的暴力体验。)”及“Unlike movies and television, where you watch the violence, the video game lets you feel the sensation of taking violent actions.(与观看暴力场面的电影和电视不同,电子游戏让你感受到采取暴力行动的感觉。)”和最后一段的“a part of the games features anti-social themes of violence, sex and rude language(部分游戏带有暴力、性和粗鲁语言等反社会主题)”可知,本文主要讲的是电子游戏中和暴力有关的内容对小孩儿的负面影响,因此A选项“Video game violence is very harmful to kids(电子游戏暴力对孩子是非常有害的)”可以概括文章的主要内容,故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The technology is becoming more engaging for kids,” says David Walsh, president of the National Institute on Media and the Family (NIMF) , a watchdog group in Minneapolis, “and a part of the games features anti-social themes of violence, sex and rude language.(“这项技术对孩子们来说越来越有吸引力,”国家媒体与家庭研究所(NIMF)的主席David Walsh说,该研究所是明尼阿波利斯的一个监督组织,“部分游戏带有暴力、性和粗鲁语言等反社会主题。”)”可知,NIMF检测传媒业的不当行为,故选D。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Today about 69 percent of American families own or rent video and computer games.(今天,大约69%的美国家庭拥有或租用视频和电脑游戏。)”可知,电子游戏已经很普遍了,pervasive意为“普遍的”,和widespread意思相近,故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的““These are not just games any more,” says Rick Dyer, president of the San Diego-based Virtual Image Productions. “These are learning machines. We’re teaching kids in the most incredible way what it’s like to pull the trigger (扳机). The focus is on the thrill, enjoyment and reward. What they’re not realizing are the real-life consequences.”(“这些不再只是游戏,”总部位于圣地亚哥的Virtual Image Productions的总裁Rick Dyer说。“这些都是学习机器。我们用最不可思议的方式教会孩子扣动扳机是什么感觉。游戏的重点是刺激、享受和奖励。他们没有意识到的是现实生活中的后果。”)”可知,Rick Dyer会同意的是暴力和色情内容的电子游戏对儿童有负面影响,故选D。
D
With the commercial sale of its AI-enabled precision spraying(喷洒)technology to a large farming operation in Israel, Greeneye Technology has reached a major milestone in its mission to significantly reduce herbicide(除草剂)use in agriculture,increasing productivity and profitability for farmers.
This is the first stage in the company's global rollout, which will continue in early2022 with its launch in the US market. Initially, Greeneye plans to work with corn and soybean farmers in the Midwest and will increase availability to other states in 2023.Within days of announcing its early adopter program in the US,the company was oversubscribed, indicating the growing interest from farmers for a commercially viable precision spraying solution.
Backed by Syngenta,Greeneye says its precision spraying technology has been proven to cut herbicide use by 78% and reduce herbicide costs by more than 50%(average figures),while also improving weed control efficacy(功效,效力)compared to traditional broadcast spraying. This is achieved through Al technology that can detect and spray weeds in crops with 95.7% accuracy.
"Weeds represent one of the greatest threats to global crop production," says Nadav Bocher, CEO of Grceneye Technology. In the US alone, they are estimated to cost farmers more than $ 33 billion annually. Today, farmers address this challenge by spraying herbicides across the entire field. As a result, not only are farmers spending far more money on herbicides than they need to, but millions of gallons of herbicides are being needlessly sprayed each year. This is contributing to the mounting challenges posed by herbicide-resistant weeds and worse still, polluted soil and water.
"We are incredibly proud to announce the commercial launch of our precision spraying technology, but reducing herbicide use is just the beginning," Bocher says."The next generation of our technology,which is already in development, will also be capable of precisely spraying chemicals."
"At the same time, our Al capabilities enable us to collect ultra-high-resolution data from the entire field, providing valuable insights to farmers. With this information at our fingertips, Greeneye is positioned to guide the global agriculture industry toward a more sustainable –and profitable future."
32. What can we learn about Greeneye's Al-enabled precision spraying technology?
A. It is slightly better than the traditional broadcast spraying method.
B. Farmers are doubtful whether the technology is precise and useful.
C. It has been available in the global market to bring benefits for farmers.
D. It is a breakthrough for the company to reduce herbicide use in agriculture.
33. According to Bocher, which is NOT a problem caused by the traditional spraying method?
A. It results in an unnecessary waste of money and herbicides.
B. It poses threats to the environment by polluting soil and water.
C. It brings about a growing number of herbicide-resistant weeds.
D. It reduces crop production and thus causes the hunger problem.
34. What is Bocher's attitude towards the new technology?
A. Supportive. B. Ambiguous.
C. Cautious. D. Disapproving.
35. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. AI-enabled Precision Spraying Technology to Change the World
B. New Adopter Program in Israel Over Subscribed by Eager Farmers
C. Greeneye Launches Its AI-enabled Precision Spraying Technology
D. CEO of Greeneye Technology Reveals Details of Company Profits
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了一家公司研发出的新型除草剂喷洒技术。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Greeneye Technology has reached a major milestone in its mission to significantly reduce herbicide(除草剂)use in agriculture”(Greeneye Technology在其显著减少农业中除草剂使用的任务中已经达到了一个重要里程碑)可知,Greeneye Technology这种新型喷洒技术将减少农业中除草剂的使用,是一个重要突破。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“As a result, not only are farmers spending far more money on herbicides than they need to, but millions of gallons of herbicides are being needlessly sprayed each year. This is contributing to the mounting challenges posed by herbicide-resistant weeds and worse still, polluted soil and water.”(因此,不仅农民在除草剂上的花费远远超过了他们的需要,而且每年有数百万加仑的除草剂被不必要地喷洒。这导致了由抗除草剂杂草造成日益严峻的挑战,更糟糕的是,污染了土壤和水。)可知,这会导致不必要的金钱和除草剂的浪费,污染土壤和水,带来越来越多的抗除草剂杂草,但是并不会减少作物产量导致饥饿问题。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“"We are incredibly proud to announce the commercial launch of our precision spraying technology, but reducing herbicide use is just the beginning," Bocher says.”(Bocher说:“我们非常自豪地宣布,我们的精准喷洒技术已经商业化,但减少除草剂的使用只是一个开始。”。)以及最后两段内容可知,Bocher对该公司的新技术持有支持态度。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章介绍了Greeneye推出的新型喷洒技术的优势和现状,以及相关人物对其介绍和评价,所以“Greeneye推出人工智能喷洒技术”可以作为文章标题。故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了《觉醒年代》这部电视剧及其影响。
【61题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:中国电视剧《觉醒年代》讲述了中国共产党(CPC)在1921年成立的故事,这部剧几个月前结束了,但它仍然是社交媒体上的热门话题,年轻人是社交媒体的常客。根据时间状语“in 1921”可知,此处为一般过去时,主语the Communist Party of China和谓语动词found之间是被动关系,需用被动语态,主语是the communist Party of China,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式,故填was founded。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国电视剧《觉醒年代》讲述了中国共产党(CPC)在1921年成立的故事,电视剧几个月前结束了,但它仍然是社交媒体上的热门话题,年轻人是社交媒体的常客。句子结构分析可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代先行词social media,在定语从句中作地点状语,需用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:他们热烈的讨论表明,这对他们产生了积极影响。设空处修饰动词influenced作状语,副词positively意为“积极地”符合句意,故填positively。
64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这部庆祝今年中国共产党成立100周年的电视剧在网上获得了高度评价。句子结构分析可知,设空处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词The TV series,The TV series和celebrate是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词形式。故填celebrating。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:剧中的年轻人为革命奉献了一切,甚至他们的生命,他们的故事感动了大量的观众。固定短语devote...to...意为“把……贡献给,献身于”符合句意,故填to。
【66题详解】
考查名词。句意:节目的叙事方式也受到了观众的好评,因为它成功地展示了中国共产党历史和精神的深度,以及中国和每个家庭的温暖。根据前文的“successfully showing the”以及空后的“of the CPC’s history and spirit”可知设空处应为名词作宾语,名词depth意为“深度,深厚”符合句意,故填depth。
【67题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:许多观众受到启发,去寻找有关该电视剧的背景信息,并评论说,这是他们第一次了解党和国家的建党历史。固定句型“It was their first time that...从句”中从句用过去完成时,所以填had learned或had learnt。故填had learnt/had learnt。
【68题详解】
考查代词。句意:“看完这部电视剧以后,我又把它们又重读了一遍,发现我现在能理解他们想要传达给读者的信息了。”李林,一位18岁的观众说。句子结构分析可知设空处在句中作宾语,此处需填they的宾格形式,故填them。
【69题详解】
考查宾语从句。“看完这部电视剧以后,我又把它们又重读了一遍,发现我现在能理解他们想要传达给读者的信息了。”李林,一位18岁的观众说。设空处引导宾语从句,在从句中作宾语,且指代事物,需用连接代词what引导,故填what。
【70题详解】
考查冠词。“看完这部电视剧以后,我又把它们又重读了一遍,发现我现在能理解他们想要传达给读者的信息了。”李林,一位18岁的观众说。viewer为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且18-year-old发音以元音音素开头,需用不定冠词an修饰,故填an。

My mom is a housewife, and for as long I can remember, she has always been with me, never left me for a single day. However, my grandma was seriously ill last week and Mom had to leave for several days to looking after Grandma. It never occurred for me what my daily life would be like without Mom in the house. When she went back home after school, our home was a mess. With Dad always coming home later, I decided it was my turn to give the houses the look it ought to have. I clean the floor, the table and every corner. I miss Mom and now realize that her importance. Our home cannot function normal without Mom.
【答案】1. long后加as
2. left→leaving
3. looking→look
4. for→to
5. she→ I
6. later→late
7. houses→ house
8. clean→cleaned
9.去掉that
10. normal→ normally
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者讲述妈妈不在家时自己的生活,意识到妈妈的重要性,没有妈妈家里就不能正常运转。
【详解】1.考查连词。句意:我的妈妈是一个家庭主妇,从我记事起,她就一直和我在一起,没有一天离开过我。“for as long as I can remember”这是一个介词引导的状语从句,表示:就我所能记得的是,as long as“只要;和……一样”,是固定短语,故在long后加as。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子可知,“never left me for a single day”作状语,leave与逻辑主语she是主动关系,用现在分词作状语,故将left改为leaving。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,我的奶奶上周病得很重,妈妈不得不离开我好几天去照顾奶奶。分析句子可知,“to looking after Grandma”作目的状语,用不定式形式,故将looking改为look。
4.考查介词。句意:我从来没有想到,没有妈妈在家,我的日常生活会是什么样子。sth. occur to sb.“某人突然想起某事”是固定句型,故将for改为to。
5.考查代词。句意:当我放学回家时,我们的家是一团糟。根据上下文可知,此处说的是作者回到家,家里一团糟,作主语用人称代词I,故将she改为I。
6.考查副词。句意:由于爸爸总是晚回家,我决定该轮到我给这些房子赋予它应有的外观了。late“晚;迟”,later“较晚地;以后;后来”,根据语境,此处说明爸爸回家晚,用late,故将later改为late。
7.考查名词。句意同上。根据语境,此处说的是作者家的房子,用单数,故将houses改为house。
8.考查时态。句意:我打扫了地板、桌子和每一个角落。文章讲述过去发生的事情用一般过去时,故将clean改为cleaned。
9.考查代词。句意:我想念妈妈,现在我意识到她的重要性。句子是简单句,realize后直接加宾语her importance,that多余,故去掉that。
10.考查副词。句意:如果没有妈妈,我们的家就不能正常运转。修饰动词function用副词作状语,故将normal改为normally。

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Dear Mike,
I’m very glad to know that you’re coming to China as an exchange student next semester. Now I’m writing to tell you about our chopsticks to answer your requirement.
Chopsticks, with rich cultural connotations, are a wonder of Chinese dining utensils and a daily necessity for Chinese people. Chopsticks which are unique to China are a kind of widely used dining utensil to help catch food like forks in your country. They can also be used in the kitchen to help salt to dissolve faster in water. But in my eyes, as a unique existence in China, chopsticks made of wood are a symbol of happiness, while chopsticks made of gold are a symbol of high status.
You’d better practice how to use chopsticks before you come and learn some cultural taboos about chopsticks. It’s considered rude to hit the bowl or stick the food with your chopsticks.
I hope the above is of help! I bet you’ll learn more after you experience them.
Yours,
Li Hua
