C    18. A    19. B    20. C【解析】【原文】W: School gardening has become very popular recently, with parents and teachers saying its hands-on lessons can be used to teach many subjects. Finding the money to keep a school garden going can be tough. Some experts and teachers, however, are finding creative ways to make it work. Susan Hobart is a retired elementary school teacher. She manages the school’s large garden with 12 raised beds. She said that the gardens help calm the kids and give them a whole different perspective they wouldn’t have just sitting at desks. Toby Adams directs the New York Botanical Garden’s Edible Academy, where school children learn about growing food. He said that school gardens can teach lessons in health, science, social studies, and even arts classes. “For schools without space for even a small garden, turning to local botanical gardens and parks can sometimes be the answer,” Adams said. Ron Finley supports teaching city kids about seeds and growing. His non-profit Ron Finley Project aims to “change the culture around food”. Finley remembered being amazed as a boy when he witnessed how “a seed destroys itself to become food”. “Having a garden in a school is just as important as any other education,” Finley said. Finley used the term reverence, or honor or respect that is shown, when talking about gardening. “If kids respect soil, they’ll respect themselves and this planet... Gardening is not a hobby but a life skill. I see this as one of the most valuable lessons of humanity,” Finley said.阅读理解A 【答案】21. C    22. C    23.

The glasses then are in wireless communication with the device in the brain.（这项新技术使用了几个部分。一个是放置在大脑中的小装置。其他部分是太阳镜上的摄像机和可以放在衣服里的处理设备。当用户点相机时,信号的处理器，然后回到了眼镜。然后，眼镜就可以与大脑中的设备进行无线通信。）可知，太阳镜可以与大脑中的小装置进行无线通信。故选D项。26. 细节理解题。根据文章第五段第2句内容：He says that “I can tell someone moving across the room, walking past me or walking away from me, or it’s a light against the wall.

(南非的研究人员几天前就发现了这种变体，目前还不清楚它的许多情况，包括它是否更具传染性、更可能导致严重疾病或更能evade疫苗的保护)”中的the protection of vaccines推知，划线词以为“逃避”，即是否更能逃避疫苗的保护。故选D。29．推理判断题。根据第四段“Collins, along with several experts, said that the news should make everyone redouble their efforts to use the tools the world already has, including vaccinations, booster shots and measures such as mask-wearing.(柯林斯和几位专家表示，这一消息应该让每个人都加倍努力使用世界上已经拥有的工具，包括疫苗接种、加强注射和戴口罩等措施)”可推知，常规公共卫生措施可有效预防这种变异。故选C。30．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As more omicron cases have been found in more countries such as Dutch, Canada, Australia, many countries are introducing travel bans or closing borders, though they go against the advice of the WHO.(随着荷兰、加拿大、澳大利亚等国家的奥密克戎病例增加，许多国家不顾世界卫生组织的建议，采取了禁止旅行或关闭边境的措施)”可知，世卫组织反对与奥密克戎有关的旅行禁令。故选D。31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cases of the omicron variant of the coronavirus popped up in countries on opposite sides of the world on Sunday and many governments rushed to close their borders even as scientists cautioned that it’s not clear if the new variant is more alarming than other versions of the virus.(周日，世界两端的国家都出现了奥密克戎变种的冠状病毒病例，许多政府纷纷关闭边境，尽管科学家警告称，目前尚不清楚这种新变种是否比其他版本的病毒更令人担忧)”结合文章介绍了各国关于奥密克戎病毒传播所采取的措施以及不同态度。可知，A选项“随着世界急于了解更多信息，更多奥密克戎案例浮出水面”最符合文章标题。故选A。  【答案】32. C    33. D    34. C    35. A【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，更多的空闲时间可能并不是我们大多数人梦想的神奇灵丹妙药。文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及研究发现空闲时间的“最佳时间点”可能是每天两到三个小时，且与人们如何度过空闲时间有关。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Compared to those with less time，people with up to two hours of free time a day generally felt better. However, people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally felt worse. So the free-time ‘sweet spot’ might be two to three hours per day. (与时间较少的人相比，每天有两小时自由时间的人通常感觉更好。然而，每天有5个小时或更多空闲时间的人通常感觉更糟。所以空闲时间的‘最佳时间’可能是每天两到三个小时。)”可知每天拥有两到三个小时的空闲时间的人感觉更好。故选C。【33题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Part of finding this ‘sweet spot’ is connected with how people spend their free time。(找到这个‘最佳时间’有一部分与人们如何度过空闲时间有关。)”以及下文的实验结果“Most of them believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day—but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions, which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow (心流状态) can benefit people’s mental health.(他们中的大多数人认为，如果白天有很多空闲时间，他们的幸福感会受到影响——但只有在他们没有成效地利用空闲时间的情况下。虽然该实验是基于之前的假设，这是一个局限性，但它与其他实验一致，表明处于心流状态可以有利于人们的心理健康。)”可知此段主要阐述人们如何利用空闲时间会影响他们的幸福感。故选D。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are ‘productive’. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.(当然，对你来说，任何能增加你幸福感的活动都是‘有成效的’。如果在你的空闲时间看肥皂剧让你感觉更好，你应该这样做，因为你要照顾自己。一些传统的富有成效的活动可以是简单和有趣的。例如，散步和做饭可以帮助缓解压力，让人们处于一种流动的状态。)”可知能让你感觉更好，有趣的，能够缓减压力的活动就是富有成效的，所以富有成效的活动取决于自己的感觉。故选C。【35题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,’ Sharif said, ‘our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purposes.’(‘在人们发现自己有大量自由时间的情况下，比如退休或失业，’Sharif说，‘我们的研究结果表明，他们可以从把新发现的时间花在有目的的事情上来获益。’)”可知Sharif对有很多空闲时间人们说的是应该有目标地度过他们的空闲时间。故选A。七选五【答案】36. D    37. A    38. F    39. E   40. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了五件有关谷雨节气不为人所熟知的事情。【36题详解】根据上文“The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Rain, as the last term in spring, starts on April 20 and ends on May 4.(中国传统农历将一年分为24个节气。谷雨是春季的最后一个节气，从4月20日开始，到5月4日结束)”以及Grain Rain originates from the old saying, ‘Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains,’ which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops. The Grain Rain signals the end of cold weather and a rapid rise in temperature. (谷雨源于古语‘雨生百谷’，说明这一时期的降雨对农作物的生长极为重要。谷雨预示着寒冷天气的结束和气温的快速上升)”可知，文章第一二段是总的介绍谷雨节气，后文则分别介绍了在谷雨节气人们会做的一些事情，故D选项“以下是关于谷雨你可能不知道的五件事” 能在此起承上启下作用，故选D。【37题详解】根据本段内容“Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. From the end of April to the beginning of May, the temperature rises much higher than it does in March. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds, wild winds and sandstorms become more frequent.(谷雨正发生在春末夏初，少见的冷空气南下，北方的冷空气徘徊。从四月底到五月初，气温的上升比三月要高得多。由于土壤干燥、大气不稳定和大风，狂风和沙尘暴变得更加频繁)”可知，该段讲述的是谷雨节气发生在四月末五月初，随着温度和气候变化，此时大风和沙尘暴天气会开始变得频繁。故A选项“沙尘暴发生”符合语境，故选A。【38题详解】根据上文“There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is rich in vitamins and amino acids,(在中国南方有一个古老的习俗，人们在谷雨这天喝茶。谷雨春茶富含维生素和氨基酸)”以及后文“It is also said that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck.(还有人说，在这一天喝茶可以辟邪)”可知，本段介绍谷雨节气喝茶的习俗，上文提到了谷雨春茶，后文则提到了喝茶的好处，且空处为一个非限制性定语从句，修饰上文Spring tea，说明喝茶的好处。故F选项“它可以帮助身体散热，对眼睛有好处”符合语境，故选F。【39题详解】根据上文“People in northern China have the tradition to eat the vegetable toona sinensis during Grain Rain. An old Chinese saying goes ‘toona sinensis before the rain is as tender as silk’. The vegetable is nutritious and can help to strengthen the immune system.(中国北方有在谷雨期间吃香椿的传统。中国有句古话：‘雨前香椿嫩如丝’。这种蔬菜营养丰富，有助于增强免疫系统)”可知，本段内容主要介绍谷雨节气吃香椿的习俗，最后两句介绍了香椿这种蔬菜对人体的好处。故E选项“它对胃和皮肤也有好处”符合语境，故选E。【40题详解】根据后文“The custom dates back more than 2,000 years ago, when people believed they owed a good harvest to the gods, who protected them from the stormy seas.

I saw her around the kitchen,” Jack lied, blaming his little sister. Hearing this, Mabel was shocked, with her mouth open and eyes widening. She denied, but Mom didn’t scold them and sent them to bed instead. The rest of the night Jack felt regretful for what he had done, tossing and turning in bed, and finally he decided to tell Mom the truth and say sorry to Mabel.So Jack gathered the courage to go to Mom’s bedroom. “Sorry, Mom. I ate the cookies, not Mabel,” he hung his head in shame. Mom hugged him, saying in a gentle voice, “I had known all along, but I wanted you to have the courage to tell the truth.” Jack then realized that he shouldn’t give in to greed or blame his mistake on others. “I’m proud that you came to me with the truth,” appreciated Mom. Only then did Jack learn that being honest and responsible wasn’t that hard after all.
