【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四种在哈佛大学中为友谊和自我发现创造机会的学生活动。

1．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“More than eighty percent of our students participate in athletics of some kind.(我们百分之八十以上的学生参加了某种形式的田径运动。)可知，大多数学生才加的活动是田径，即对大多数大学生有吸引力的活动是田径。故选A。

2．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Even if you don’t see a club that matches your interests, we’re ready to help you set up one!(即使您没有看到符合您兴趣的俱乐部，我们也随时准备帮助您建立一个！)”可知，如果没有适合你的俱乐部，可以寻求帮助建立一个。故选B。

B

I’m in the area of Noailles in Marseille, France’s second largest city and its main trade seaport. Some small shops sell vegetables, meat, and, it seems, all the spices of the Middle East. In addition to French, languages spoken on the busy streets include Arabic and African French. It all adds up to one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Europe.

Close to the downtown street, I discover an Algerian restaurant, whose owner makes his signature dish—couscous with barley, not the usual wheat, using a recipe that hasn’t changed since the 1920s. Couscous is an necessary part of Marseille culture. The dish was added to the UNESCO’s Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020.

To be honest, before I travelled here, couscous had not been the first meal that came to mind when I thought of Marseille. It was bouillabaisse, the rich soup with olive oil, garlic and saffron. I imagined enjoying it at a small portside cafe. This was clearly a romantic fantasy. For one thing, there are no small cafes at historic city. For another, the restaurants do serve bouillabaisse, but when I see the price at one place I am shocked: 69 euros! No bowl of soup should cost that much.

I give up and end up two streets away from the old harbor in a new restaurant, Ourea. For 28 euros, Chef Matthieu Roche serves a three-course lunch that includes tuna steaks and couscous.

More and more young, talented people are discovering that Marseille is an ideal place to live. There is also a growing number of Parisians moving here every year. Tired of the rush and expense of life in larger cities, the newcomers come looking for the more relaxed Mediterranean way of life.

Walking through these contrasting neighborhoods of Marseille. I think about the distinct communities here living in the same neighborhoods- together, side, by, side, but not mixed. They may also feel they are Marseillais first regardless of nationalities.

4．Which word can best describe Marseille according to the first paragraph?

A．Remote. B．Commercial. C．Industrial. D．Inland.

5．What made the author leave the Algerian restaurant?

A．The unreasonable charge. B．The unbearable flavor.

C．The unsatisfying service. D．The noisy atmosphere.

6．Why do the newcomers choose Marseille rather than other big cities?

A．To make a fortune. B．To experience a dish.

C．To learn a language. D．To live a leisurely life.

7．In which column of a magazine can we probably read the text?

A．Fashion. B．Food. C．Trade D．Travel.

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者简要介绍了法国第二大城市马赛，并讲述了自己在那里吃饭的经历。

4．B【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段前两句“I’m in the area of Noailles in Marseille, France’s second largest city and its main trade seaport. Some small shops sell vegetables, meat, and, it seems, all the spices of the Middle East.(我现在在法国第二大城市和主要贸易海港马赛的诺埃勒地区。一些小商店出售蔬菜、肉类，似乎还有所有的中东香料。)”可知，在马赛有很多交易在进行，即它是商业化的。故选B。

5．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“For another, the restaurants do serve bouillabaisse, but when I see the price at one place I am shocked: 69 euros! No bowl of soup should cost that much.(另一方面，这里的餐厅确实供应鱼汤，但当我看到一家餐厅的价格时，我震惊了:69欧元!一碗汤不应该那么贵。)”可知，作者离开那家埃尔及利亚的饭馆是这家店的鱼汤太贵了，即收费不合理。故选A。

6．D【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“Tired of the rush and expense of life in larger cities, the newcomers come looking for the more relaxed Mediterranean way of life.(厌倦了大城市生活的匆忙和昂贵，新来者来到这里寻找更轻松的地中海生活方式。)”可知，新来者选择马赛是为了过一种轻松悠闲的生活。故选D项。

7．D【解析】推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章重点介绍了作者吃饭的经历，且根据倒数第二段前两句“More and more young, talented people are discovering that Marseille is an ideal place to live. There is also a growing number of Parisians moving here every year. (越来越多有才华的年轻人发现马赛是一个理想的居住地。每年也有越来越多的巴黎人搬到这里。)”可知，马赛作为一个港口城市吸引越来越多年轻人，说明本文主要介绍了马赛市的吸引人之处，因此这篇文章最后可能出自杂志的旅游栏目。故选D。

C

“How beautiful the jasmine (茉莉花) is! A sweet smell covers the budding twigs. So fragrant, so white, admired by all lips.” The famed Chinese folk song Jasmine Flower has reached a global audience with its beautiful melody and lyrics. Equally popular is the traditionally made Jasmine tea, whose elegant fragrance and mellow taste fascinate countless tea drinkers.

Chen Chengzhong has a big say in the production of Jasmine tea as he is a practitioner of Fuzhou Jasmine tea scenting techniques. The 72-year-old tea maker started his career early in his teenage years, when he became an apprentice in a state-owned tea factory.

Jasmine tea is a kind of tea scented (带有某种香味) with the fragrance of jasmine blossoms and typically has green tea as its base. The natural scenting process consumes fresh jasmine blossoms, picked during the daytime when the buds are closed, Chen said. And the green tea leaves from the spring harvest are stored until the most fragrant jasmine blossoms in late summer.

The hot and humid climate and the red soil in East China’s Fujian province provide favorable conditions for jasmine and tea plants to thrive, becoming the high-quality ingredients that are needed for Jasmine tea. “Our jasmine flowers and tea leaves are all sourced from Fujian in large quantities, despite the fact that they are pricier than those from other origins,” Chen said.

When the fresh jasmine flowers are harvested, they are mixed with layers of tea leaves. Workers stir (搅拌) the tea leaves and flowers overnight, allowing the leaves to absorb the fragrant scent of the jasmine blossoms.

In the morning, the flowers are sorted, the leaves are dried, and the process is repeated. More repetition makes for a more robust jasmine flavor, and it takes at least nine scenting processes to produce Jasmine tea of a superb grade.

Having been appointed as the representative practitioner of Fuzhou Jasmine tea scenting techniques, Chen now focuses more on passing on the scenting techniques, giving lectures to students and apprentices. Chen’s son Chen Zheng is motivated to follow in his father’s footsteps and move forward with the scenting techniques. “Like my father, I also hope to practice this traditional skill that has profound cultural deposits, and pass it on,” Chen Zheng said.

8．What is the author’s purpose of quoting the song Jasmine Flower?

A．To tell us not to neglect the song.

B．To show the popularity of the song.

C．To introduce the topic—Jasmine tea.

D．To clarify the origin of Jasmine tea.

9．Why are Fujian’s jasmines and tea leaves the high-quality ingredients?

A．Because their fragrances are mixed together.

B．Because Fujian is rich in jasmines and tea leaves.

C．Because they are pricier than those from other areas.

D．Because Fujian has suitable climate and soil conditions.

10．Which of the following is RIGHT about the process of making Jasmine tea?

A．It uses the most fragrant jasmine blossoming in early summer.

B．It takes at most nine scenting processes to produce Jasmine tea of a superb grade.

C．Tea leaves should be mixed with fresh jasmine flowers to absorb their fragrance.

D．Fresh jasmine blossoms are picked during the daytime when the buds are opened.

11．What does Chen Zheng want to do?

A．Produce Jasmine tea of a superb grade.

B．Practice and pass on Jasmine tea scenting techniques.

C．Give lectures to students and apprentices.

D．Become an apprentice in a state-owned tea factory.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了福州茉莉花茶窨制工艺传承人陈成忠以及茉莉花茶的制作过程。

8．C【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中“The famed Chinese folk song Jasmine Flower has reached a global audience with its beautiful melody and lyrics. Equally popular is the traditionally made Jasmine tea, whose elegant fragrance and mellow taste fascinate countless tea drinkers.(中国著名民歌《茉莉花》以其优美的旋律和歌词赢得了全球观众的喜爱。同样受欢迎的是传统的茉莉花茶，其优雅的香气和醇香的口感吸引了无数饮茶者)”以及下文对传统茉莉花茶的详细介绍，可知本文第一段段首用著名的中国民歌《茉莉花》来引出文章主题——茉莉花茶。故选C。

9．D【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“The hot and humid climate and the red soil in East China’s Fujian province provide favorable conditions for jasmine and tea plants to thrive, becoming the high-quality ingredients that are needed for Jasmine tea.(中国东部福建省湿热的气候和红色的土壤为茉莉花和茶树的茁壮成长提供了有利条件，成为茉莉花茶所需的优质原料)”可知，福建适宜的气候和土壤条件为茉莉花和茶树的茁壮成长提供了有利条件，使福建的茉莉花和茶叶成为制作茉莉花茶的优质原料。故选D。

10．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段“When the fresh jasmine flowers are harvested, they are mixed with layers of tea leaves. Workers stir (搅拌) the tea leaves and flowers overnight, allowing the leaves to absorb the fragrant scent of the jasmine blossoms.(当新鲜的茉莉花收获时，它们与一层层的茶叶混合在一起。工人们将茶叶和鲜花搅拌一夜，让茶叶吸收茉莉花的芬芳)”可知在制作茉莉花茶的过程中，工人们要将茶叶与新鲜的茉莉花混合，让茶叶吸收茉莉花的香味。故选C。

11．B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Chen’s son Chen Zheng is motivated to follow in his father’s footsteps and move forward with the scenting techniques. ‘Like my father, I also hope to practice this traditional skill that has profound cultural deposits, and pass it on,’ Chen Zheng said. (陈的儿子陈铮被激励着追随父亲的脚步，推动茉莉花茶窨制技艺向前迈进。‘我也希望像父亲一样练好这门有着深厚文化底蕴的传统技艺，把它传承下去。’陈铮说)”可知，陈铮希望像他的父亲一样练好这门有着深厚文化底蕴的传统技艺，并把它传承下去。故选B。

D

“Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. ” This is dedicated to my first-year self four years ago, who was addicted to getting good grades, and failed to seek the happiness found in everything else that college has to offer.

Like some people, I grew up with a family that valued academics over all else, who gave you a little extra love when you were doing great in your classes, and took it away when you didn’t. As a result, my self-worth became tied to my academic success. As an international student, I sometimes felt our parents didn’t quite understand the heavy academic weight.

There is a difference between trying to always better yourself for yourself, and simply putting too much on your plate until you burn out from attempting to live up to certain expectations. We should all strive to do the former, but unfortunately our mindsets have been always wired to follow the latter.

I used to believe school killed the creative spirit inside all of us, but as I get older and further into my academic career, I find that it is we who make the choice to kill that creative spirit. I am definitely not saying that you should throw your GPA out of the window and go painting all day. However, we should all try to develop a long-sighted perspective on how we want to shape our lives. Take some classes on topics that you’re genuinely interested in learning about, not just passing. Join clubs or work on projects that resonate with you and push you beyond your boundaries. And most of all, accept the fact that failure and loss are sometimes inevitable in life.

I promise you, when you look back at these four years, you will not remember the good grades or the bad grades, but you will hold in your memory the connections you made with people, the things that inspired you to create and the times you learned something special. And so I ask you now, what do you want to get out of college?

12．Who is the author of the passage?

A．A professor. B．A freshman. C．A parent. D．A graduate.

13．What did the author’s parents stress most on his college life?

A．Seeking happiness. B．Getting good grades.

C．Building self-worth. D．Developing various interests.

14．What is bettering ourselves for according to the author?

A．To be a better self. B．To realize our dreams.

C．To push our boundaries. D．To live up to others’ expectations.

15．Which of the following may the author probably agree with?

A．Academic growth helps to promote creativity.

B．Students themselves have a say in their hobbies.

C．Failures can be avoided with more efforts put in.

D．School is to blame for killing students’ creativity.

【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。作者认为自己四年前一味沉迷于好成绩，没有从大学所能提供的一切中寻找快乐。告诉读者应该参加一些你真正感兴趣的课程，而不是敷衍了事，从大学中学到特别的东西。

12．D【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中“This is dedicated to my first-year self four years ago, who was addicted to getting good grades, and failed to seek the happiness found in everything else that college has to offer.(这句话献给四年前一年级的自己，当时的我沉迷于取得好成绩，没有从大学所能提供的一切中寻找快乐)”可推知，这篇文章的作者是毕业生。故选D。

13．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like some people, I grew up with a family that valued academics over all else, who gave you a little extra love when you were doing great in your classes, and took it away when you didn’t. As a result, my self-worth became tied to my academic success.(和一些人一样，我在一个重视学业胜过一切的家庭中长大，当你在课堂上表现出色时，他们会给你一点额外的爱，当你表现不好时，他们就会把你的爱拿走。结果，我的自我价值与我的学业成功紧密相连)”可知，作者的父母对他大学生活的最大压力是取得好成绩。故选B。

14．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“There is a difference between trying to always better yourself for yourself, and simply putting too much on your plate until you burn out from attempting to live up to certain expectations. We should all strive to do the former, but unfortunately our mindsets have been always wired to follow the latter.(努力让自己变得更好，和简单地把太多事情放在自己的盘子里，直到你因为试图达到某些期望而筋疲力尽，这两者是有区别的。我们都应该努力做到前者，但不幸的是，我们的心态总是倾向于后者)”可知，在作者看来，改善自己是为了成为更好的自己。故选A。

15．B【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Take some classes on topics that you’re genuinely interested in learning about, not just passing. Join clubs or work on projects that resonate with you and push you beyond your boundaries. And most of all, accept the fact that failure and loss are sometimes inevitable in life.(参加一些你真正感兴趣的课程，而不是敷衍了事。加入俱乐部或参与能引起你共鸣的项目，让你超越自己的界限。最重要的是，接受这个事实，失败和失去在生活中有时是不可避免的)”可知，作者认为学生对自己的爱好有发言权。故选B。

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。

No matter where you go, you’ll notice something strange about trees—the fact that their bottoms are painted white. Generally speaking, the purpose of whitewashing is to protect trees from heat and insects. ____16____. Let’s check them out!

Blocking the sun

You might sometimes notice that some tree trunks’ surfaces get dry and crack easily. ____17____. Simply put, they are exposed to the burning sun and the temperatures change wildly between day and night. Fortunately, painting a tree’s trunk white is similar to adding sunscreen, which helps block the sun.

Heat protection

____18____.White paint reflects the heat and allows trees to spend more time on transpiration(蒸腾)and growing their fruits. Additionally, when trees are cooler, they have less stress, which makes their stomata(气孔)stay open a bit longer for the exchange of gases.

Defending against pests

More often than not, a tree’s surface will crack, allowing insects to creep inside. ____19____. Therefore, people whitewash trees using latex paint and water, which prevents insects from climbing up trees and entering inside through the cracks.

____20____

Last but not least, the surface of trees is painted white to make them more visible, specifically for those on the side of the road. Why is that important? Because accidents involving trees are extremely common, especially during the night, when drivers can not see them much more clearly.

A．Stopping accidents

B．Improving visibility

C．Whitewashing is a good way to solve the problem

D．The cause of this phenomenon has already been found

E．Whitewashing helps young trees remain cool in spring

F．However, there’re many other reasons for whitewashing trees

G．Bacteria will feed on the tree’s inner parts, eventually killing it

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了树木粉刷成白色的原因。

16．F【解析】根据上文“No matter where you go, you’ll notice something strange about trees—the fact that their bottoms are painted white. Generally speaking, the purpose of whitewashing is to protect trees from heat and insects.(无论你走到哪里，你都会注意到树的一些奇怪之处——它们的底部都被漆成了白色。一般来说，刷白的目的是保护树木免受高温和昆虫的侵害)”以及后文“Let’s check them out!(让我们来看看吧！)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出粉刷树木还有其它原因。故F选项“然而，粉刷树木还有很多其他原因”符合语境，故选F。

17．D【解析】根据上文“You might sometimes notice that some tree trunks’ surfaces get dry and crack easily.(有时你可能会注意到一些树干的表面很干燥，很容易开裂)”以及后文“Simply put, they are exposed to the burning sun and the temperatures change wildly between day and night. Fortunately, painting a tree’s trunk white is similar to adding sunscreen, which helps block the sun.(简单地说，它们暴露在烈日下，昼夜之间的温度变化很大。幸运的是，把树干涂成白色就像涂防晒霜一样，有助于阻挡阳光)”可知，后文主要分析了树干开裂的原因。故D选项“这种现象的原因已经找到了”符合语境，故选D。

18．E【解析】根据后文“White paint reflects the heat and allows trees to spend more time on transpiration (蒸腾) and growing their fruits. Additionally, when trees are cooler, they have less stress, which makes their stomata (气孔) stay open a bit longer for the exchange of gases.(白色的油漆可以反射热量，让树木有更多的时间蒸腾和生长果实。此外，当树木温度较低时，它们的压力较小，这使得它们的气孔保持开放的时间更长，以便进行气体交换)”可知，后文提到白色的油漆可以反射热量，让树木有更多的时间蒸腾和生长果实，即可以让树木保持凉爽。故E选项“刷白可以帮助小树在春天保持凉爽”符合语境，故选E。

19．G【解析】根据上文“More often than not, a tree’s surface will crack, allowing insects to creep inside.(通常情况下，树的表面会裂开，让昆虫爬进去)”以及后文“Therefore, people whitewash trees using latex paint and water, which prevents insects from climbing up trees and entering inside through the cracks.(因此，人们用乳胶漆和水粉刷树木，防止昆虫爬上树，从裂缝进入内部)”可知，本句是在说明昆虫爬进去的后果：细菌会以树的内部为食，最终杀死树。故G选项“细菌会以树的内部为食，最终杀死树”符合语境，故选G。

20．B【解析】根据本段内容“Last but not least, the surface of trees is painted white to make them more visible, specifically for those on the side of the road. Why is that important? Because accidents involving trees are extremely common, especially during the night, when drivers can not see them much more clearly.(最后但并非最不重要的是，树的表面被涂成白色，使它们更明显，特别是对那些在路边的人来说。为什么这很重要？因为涉及树木的交通事故非常常见，尤其是在夜间，因为司机看不清树木)”可知，本段的主旨是树木粉刷成白色可以提高司机的能见度。故B选项“提高能见度”符合语境，故选B。

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。

High—school sports is the biggest thing that happens in our town of Verden, population six hundred. Sports are important in our family. Both of our sons were high—school athletes. So I shouldn’t have been surprised when Lauren announced she was going out for the girls’ basketball team, but I was because she has Down syndrome(唐氏综合征). My wife and I never told Lauren that she was different, treating her like our other children.

“I’m gonna play basketball, Daddy.” Lauren flew into my arms when I came in from work. “That’s nice, honey,” I replied automatically and patted her, figuring she meant outside—on the driveway.

Walking into the kitchen, I met my wife Laura, whose frown indicated I’d missed something. Laura spoke slowly, her tone steady. “She meant she’s joining the girls’ high—school basketball team.”

Just as her words sank in, I heard Lauren behind me. “I’m gonna be a Lady Tiger,” she yelled, skipping into the room and throwing her arms in the air. Everything that could happen flashed through my mind. I discussed Lauren’s announcement with my wife that evening and finally agreed. After all, there were only 11 girls, not everyone willing to play.

The next afternoon, I parked in front of the school gymnasium. Inside, Coach Forsythe greeted us, “We’re glad Lauren came out for the team. She is not just a cheerleader!” Lauren stood alone at the other end of the court, shooting free throws. No other girl on the court grinned（咧嘴笑）like Lauren did, and after every shot, Lauren approvingly cried, “Woo hoo!”, seemingly not caring if she made the basket or not.

Mid-November, the season’s first basketball game arrived. I settled into a seat with the rest of my family. The game got off to a good start, but soon Lady Tigers was behind. Lauren followed the movement on the court and reacted to every play. Even though Lauren wasn’t playing, she looked as if she were having the time of her life. I felt admiration for my daughter. Plus, her team was getting beat, yet she still enjoyed the action. Just less than two minutes left, and Lady Tigers was down by seventeen points.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Still in high spirits, Lauren cheered for Lady Tigers off the court.

Then a teammate passed Lauren the ball.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Still in high spirits, Lauren cheered for Lady Tigers off the court. Just at that time, Coach called a time-out. He walked over to Lauren and said something to her, then something to her teammates. In a minute, Lauren was in the game. My heart doubled its beat, watching wide-eyed. Just then, all across the stands, fans were on their feet clapping for Lauren. Our Lauren! Lauren kept pace with the others fairly well. The visitors scored again. With less than a minute left, Lady Tigers was controlling the ball. I saw the point guard shout and flash a signal to her teammates.

Then a teammate passed Lauren the ball. She caught it and moved toward the goal. Amazingly, the opposing team did not block her. She shot. She scored! “Lauren, Lauren, Lauren,” chanted the cheerleaders. At length, Lady Tigers lost by seventeen points. Several minutes later, Lauren joined us, “Did you see? I made a basket!” For sixteen years, I’d tried hard to keep Lauren from feeling like she was different. But from this, I saw she really was different—not physically or emotionally, but spiritually. I wrapped my arms around her tightly. Lauren was different. And I was glad.
