Section B
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Have you heard of the women’s liberation movement? It began in the 1960s. There are many aspects of the women’s liberation movement. Some women want full equality with men in every aspect of life. In marriage, they want husbands and wives to share all of the work and responsibilities of a home and family. In work, they want women and men to have the same jobs and the same chance to succeed. They want women to be paid just as much as men are for the same work. Other women agree with some of the ideas of women’s liberation. They want the same pay if they hold the same job as a man. At home, however, they do not expect their husbands to share in the cleaning, cooking, and other household jobs.
It is important to remember that the women’s liberation movement is not concerned only with concrete issues. The movement is also concerned with attitudes and beliefs. Some women do not think they are capable of doing anything important. The women’s liberation movement would like to help these women improve their view of themselves. Many women have taken jobs, have helped others, have raised healthy children, and have done many other things to contribute to their communities. They have shown that they are capable of being good leaders and of doing many important things.
Questions:
11. When did the women’s liberation movement begin?
12. What do many women want in work?
13. What is the women’s liberation movement concerned with?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
It’s parents’ nature to love and provide for children. Because our children are part of us, we want to see them happy. Nevertheless, a wish that our children have everything that we lacked as youngsters can cause us to spoil them. One of the most precious gifts you can give your children is true independence. It lets them know how to gain what they desire by themselves and become owners of their own happiness. When the time comes for them to go to college or begin to work, you will have the confidence that you have raised a child that can both enter and contribute to society confidently.
When children are not afforded the opportunity to explore self-dependence or to fulfill their own needs, they may have false values. They won’t realize the necessity of hard work and the needs of others. Yet children who are given love and affection in abundance are often kinder and more responsible than those whose parents agree to their every material demand. They develop a strong sense of self that stretches beyond possessions and the approval of their peers. As adults, they will understand that each individual is responsible for building the life they desire.
It can be difficult to watch children struggle to meet their personal goals, yet it is wonderful to be by their side as they achieve it. Your choice not to spoil your children will bless you with more opportunities to show them understanding and to be fully present with them as the journey toward adulthood.
Questions:
14. Why will a father buy his children some expensive gifts?
15. What can we infer from the passage about spoiled children?
16. According to the passage what shouldn’t parents do for children?
Section C
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Hi, this is Roger Jackson. I’m calling to make a reservation for a flight from Houston to Atlanta.
W: Yes, Mr. Jackson. And what day would you like to travel?
M: Oh, not until next month. I want to leave on 15th May and return on 19th May. I thought maybe if I called in advance I could get a better fare.
W: Yes, you can. But if you stay over Saturday night and return on Sunday, 20th May, the ticket will be even cheaper.
M: Really? How much cheaper?
W: Almost fifty dollars.
M: Hmm… but I would have an extra night in a hotel. No, that’s OK. I’ll just keep it for 19th May.
W: All right. Do you have a seating preference?
M: I’d rather have a window seat.
W: Good. There is one available. And do you want me to mail the ticket or will you pick it up?
M: I’ll pick it up. When can I come by?
W: Any time after two o’clock.
M: Great!
Now listen again please.
Questions:
17. What is the man doing?
18. Why does he call in advance?
19. When will he return?
20. Which of the following is NOT true?

A newly discovered tea plant is caffeine-free
The world loves tea and some 3m tons of tea are consumed every year. Tea can be good for health, as it contains compounds that help to lower cholesterol(胆固醇)and reduce the risk of heart disease. But there is a downside. Tea contains caffeine which, ___21___ it improves mental alertness, can also cause anxiety, insomnia and other problems.
___22___ would be agreeable is that a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or ___23___ of the caffeine has been found. Liang Chen and Ji-Qiang Jin of the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences have discovered just such a plant ___24___(grow) wild in a remote area in Fujian province, southern China. ___25___ they report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, not only is the tea plant naturally caffeine-free but it also contains a number of unique medicinal compounds that, the locals believe, offer considerable health benefits.
___26___(know) locally as Hongyacha, the newly discovered plant grows only between 700 and 1,000 metres ___27___ sea level around a handful of Chinese villages.
Now the researchers ___28___(explore) methods to protect Hongyacha in its natural habitat while further studies are carried out. It can take time – and sometimes it does not work – for new plant varieties ___29___(breed) for commercial use. A pair of naturally caffeine-free coffee plants were discovered in 2003, but little progress ____30____(report) Tea enthusiasts will be watching Hongyacha with interest. And others will wonder what else is out there.
【答案】
21.although 22.What 23.none 24.growing 25.As 26.Known 27.above 28.are exploring 29.to be bred 30.has been reported
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了茶因为含有有助于降低胆固醇和降低心脏病风险的化合物,对健康有益,但茶中含有咖啡因,虽然它能提高精神警觉性,但也会导致焦虑、失眠和其他问题。而一种提供了所有的味道和好处,但很少或没有咖啡因的洪崖茶被发现了。目前,研究人员正在探索保护洪崖茶自然栖息地的方法,同时进行进一步的研究。
21.考查连词。句意:茶中含有咖啡因,虽然它能提高精神警觉性,但也会导致焦虑、失眠和其他问题。本句为让步状语从句,表示“虽然”,故填although。
22.考查连词。句意:令人高兴的是,一种提供了所有的味道和好处,但很少或没有咖啡因的茶树被发现。本句为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,且表示事情,故填What。
23.考查代词。表示“没有任何”短语为none of。故填none。
24.考查非谓语动词。句意:中国农业科学院茶叶研究所的陈亮和金继强在中国南部福建省的一个偏远地区发现了这种野生茶树。本句中grow做非谓语动词,与plant之间是主动关系,故填growing作后置定语,故填growing。
25.考查连词。句意:正如他们在《农业与食品化学杂志》上发表的报告称,茶树不仅不含咖啡因,而且还含有许多独特的药用化合物,当地人认为这些化合物对健康有相当大的好处。本句为方式状语从句,表示“正如,正像”,故填As。
26.考查非谓语动词。句意:这种新发现的植物在当地被称为洪崖茶,海拔只有700至1000米,生长在中国少数几个村庄附近。固定短语be known as“被称为;作为……被熟知”,这里是过去分词作状语,故填Known。
27.考查介词。表示“在……上面”,海平线1000米以上,故填above。
28.考查动词时态语态。句意:目前,研究人员正在探索保护洪崖茶自然栖息地的方法,同时进行进一步的研究。根据now可知,使用现在进行时,主语是为researchers复数名词,故填are exploring。
29.考查非谓语动词。句意:培育新的植物品种用于商业用途可能需要时间,有时甚至是行不通的。本句中breed作非谓语动词,且表将来应用不定式,且与new plant varieties构成被动关系,故用to be done形式。故填to be bred。
30.考查动词时态语态。句意:2003年,人们发现了两种天然的不含咖啡因的咖啡树,但至今鲜有报道。本句主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且表示“自2003年到今天”为动作的持续应用现在完成时,主语为little progress,故填has been reported。
【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点:一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句。二、连接词从句中充当的成分(主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分)三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意,近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。如第二小题,句意:令人高兴的是,一种提供了所有的味道和好处,但很少或没有咖啡因的茶树被发现。本句为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,且表示事情,故填What。

New Path to Plastics
A crucial component could come from existing carbon sources. Ethylene(Z烯)is the world's most popular industrial chemical. Consumers and industry demand l5o million tons every year, and most of it goes into countless plastic products. from electronics to textiles. T get ethylene, energy companies crack hydrocarbons from natural gas in a process that requires a lot of heat and energy, 31________ to climate change-causing emissions.
Scientists recently made ethylene by combining carbon dioxide gas, water and organic molecules on the surface of a copper catalyst inside an electrolyzer -- a device that uses electricity to drive a chemical reaction. The 32________, described last November online in Nature, could point the way toward using carbon dioxide as feedstock for chemicals and potentially fuels, helping to reduce 33 ________on fossil fuels and to put a dent in industrial carbon emissions
The discovery grows out of work published last year by University of Toronto engineer Ted Sargent. describing a similar process that used more electricity and was less 34 ________overall. So Sargent says he 35________ out researchers at the California Institute of Technology who are "black belts in molecular design and synthesis"
Caltech chemists Jonas Peters and Theodor Agapie and their colleagues experimented with organic molecules to add to the copper catalyst. An arylpyridinum salt turned out to be the Goldilocks molecule. Sargent says: It formed a water insoluble film on the copper that 36________ the carbon dioxide so its molecules reacted most efficiently with one another, without slowing down the reaction. The result was more ethylene, with fewer by-products such as methane and hydrogen.
Still. the process must become even more efficient before it can be commercially 37________ and use carbon scrubbed or captured from facilities such as coal-or gas-burning power plants. Lower energy costs. already 38________ with renewable energy sources such as wind, could also help make it more 39 ________.
This is a(n) 40 ________breakthrough," says Randy Cortright, a senior research adviser at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo. , who was not involved in the study. This result, he says. is "something that a lot of people are going to pay attention to, and they're going to be able to build on"

Most forms of conventional advertising — print, radio and broadcast television — have been losing ground to online ads for years; only billboards, dating back to the 1800s, and TV ads are holding their own. Such out-of-home advertising, as it is known, is expected to____41____ by 3.4% in 2022, and digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising, which includes the LCD screens found in airports and shopping malls, by 16%.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE. I find reflective isolation in it. I have seven children, so our house is a scene of lively confusion. For a long time, I guarded this place of peace and quiet. When the children followed me into the garden, I would hand out chores. “Here: you weed the beans, you water the onions.” Soon they would be hot or their backs would hurt from bending over, and they would leave me to myself.
Then one day, I was trying to prepare the soil, and I honestly wasn’t enjoying my time of peace and loneliness. My 13-year-old son, Josiah, picked up a spare spade and began helping. Working as a team, we had the pea patch dug up and fertilized in no time at all. I thanked Josiah, realizing that l had enjoyed his company.
The same thing happened with picking up rocks and planting the seeds —one or two of the children would appear to watch and then participate. Each time, I would feel surprised to find the work was lighter for their help, and their laughter made time pass faster. So I stopped resenting their company and instead I began to share my gardening secrets. As spring became summer and the real work began, I expected the children to disappear, but no, there they were, watering, pulling weeds and checking for insects.
One day I slipped out by myself to the garden, feeling a little bit guilty. I had a suspicion that the sugar snap peas were ripe, and I wanted a taste. As I walked along the row, a little voice piped up behind me. “What are you eating, Mama?”
Abby’s big blue eyes sparkled as I showed her how to pull the strings off and pop (剥出) the peas into her mouth. She just loved how tasty they were. Then my sweet seven-year-old girl put me to shame. “Mama, I’ve got to pick a bunch. Won’t the others love them? I can’t wait to share.”
I realized how selfish I had been. I’d tried to keep the joys of gardening to myself, and here was a child who couldn’t wait to share with her brothers and sisters. I held back tears and said, “Sure, honey, let’s pick some and I’ll show you how to prepare them. We’ll make the most wonderful supper.”
56.Why did the writer ask her children to do chores whenever they were in the garden?
A.She didn’t want to do all the work on her own.
B.She intended to show the hard labor of gardening.
C.She didn’t want them to get hurt or get too tired.
D.She was determined to keep the garden to herself.
57.What were the children like?
① loud ② lively ③ guilty ④ loving ⑤ strong
A.①②③④ B.①②④ C.①②③ D.④⑤
58.The underlined word “resent” probably means________.
A.dislike B.expect C.keep D.sacrifice
59.What did the writer try to tell the readers with this story?
A.The best way to communicate with children is by working together.
B.The golden rule of gardening is that many hands make light work.
C.Everything feels better when shared with your family or your friend.
D.Parents should spend as much time with their children as possible.
【答案】56.D 57.B 58.A 59.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者喜欢在自己的花园里独处,享受这份宁静祥和,可是孩子们很喜欢在花园里帮助作者干活,慢慢作者喜欢和孩子们一起在花园里干活,同时意识到自己的自私,认识到应该和家人一起分享园艺的乐趣。
56.推理判断题。根据第一段“MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE; I find reflective isolation in it. I have seven children, so our house is a scene of lively confusion. For a long time, I guarded this place of peace and quiet. When the children followed me into the garden, I would hand out chores. “Here: you weed the beans, you water the onions.” Soon they would be hot or their backs would hurt from bending over, and they would leave me to myself.(我的花园是我的避难所,我在里面找到了与世隔绝的感觉。我有七个孩子,所以我们家现在是一片混乱。很长一段时间,我守卫着这个宁静祥和的地方。当孩子们跟着我走进花园时,我会给他们分配任务。“在这里,你给豆子除草,给洋葱浇水”很快他们就会热起来,或者他们的背会因为弯腰而疼痛,最后他们就会留我一人在花园。)”可知,作者很爱在花园里独处,享受着宁静祥和,但是孩子们来到花园后,作者无法享受这份宁静,由此可以推断出,作者给孩子们分配任务,是因为等他们累了,他们就会离开花园,把作者一个人留在花园里,这样作者就能独立待在花园里,故选D。
57.推理判断题。根据第一段中“I have seven children, so our house is a scene of lively confusion.(我有七个孩子,所以我们家现在是一片混乱,非常热闹。)”可知,作者的孩子很吵闹,也很活泼,根据第二段中“My 13-year-old son, Josiah, picked up a spare spade and began helping.(我13岁的儿子Josiah拿起一把备用铲子开始帮忙。)”和第三段中“Each time, I would feel surprised to find the work was lighter for their help, and their laughter made time pass faster(每一次,我都会惊讶地发现,因为他们的帮助,工作变得更轻松,他们的笑声让时间过得更快)”可知,孩子们总是帮助作者,所以说他们很有爱心,由此可知,孩子们是吵闹,活泼和有爱心的,故选B。
58.词句猜测题。根据第三段上文“Each time, I would feel surprised to find the work was lighter for their help, and their laughter made time pass faster.(每一次,我都会惊讶地发现,因为他们的帮助,工作变得更轻松,他们的笑声让时间过得更快)”可知,有了孩子们的帮助,工作变得很轻松,笑声也让时间过得更快,这说明作者开始喜欢和孩子们在花园里一起工作,结合划线单词下文“instead I began to share my gardening secrets.(相反我开始分享我的园艺秘诀。)”可知,作者开始喜欢和孩子们在花园里一起工作,不再讨厌孩子们的陪伴,而且开始和孩子们一起分享自己的园艺秘密,由此可推知,划线单词“resent”和dislike(不喜欢)意思一样,故选A。
59.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“I realized how selfish I had been. I’d tried to keep the joys of gardening to myself, and here was a child who couldn’t wait to share with her brothers and sisters. I held back tears and said, “Sure, honey, let’s pick some and I'll show you how to prepare them. We’ll make the most wonderful supper.”(我意识到自己有多自私。我一直想把园艺的乐趣留给自己,而这个孩子迫不及待地想和她的兄弟姐妹们分享。我忍住眼泪说“当然,亲爱的,我们摘一些,我教你怎么做。我们会做出最美味的晚餐”)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者喜欢在自己的花园里独处,享受这份宁静祥和,可是孩子们很喜欢在花园里帮助作者干活,慢慢作者喜欢和孩子们在花园里一起干活,同时意识到自己的自私,认识到应该和家人一起分享园艺的乐趣,由此可知,作者写这篇文章是为了告诉读者,和你的家人或朋友分享,一切都会感觉更好。故选C。

(C)
Ask the new artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write an essay about the cause of the American Civil War and you can watch it produce a persuasive term paper in a matter of seconds that has even be enable to pass school exams. That’s one reason why New York City school officials this week started blocking the impressive but controversial writing tool that can generate paragraphs of human-like text. The free tool has been around for just five weeks but is already raising tough questions about the future of AI in education, the tech industry and a host of professions.
ChatGPT was launched on Nov. 30 and is part of a new generation of AI systems that can chat, generate readable text on demand and even produce novel images and video based on what they’ve learned from a vast database of digital books, online writings and other media. But unlike previous models of so-called “large language models”, such as Open AI’s GPT-3, launched in 2020, the ChatGPT tool is available to anyone with an Internet connection for free and designed to be more user-friendly. It works like a written dialogue between the AI system and the person asking it questions.
Millions of people have played with it over the past month, using it to write silly poems or songs, trying to trick it into making mistakes, or for more practical purposes such as helping compose an email.
As with similar systems, ChatGPT can generate convincing prose, but that doesn't mean what it says is factual or logical. Its launch came with little guidance on how to use it, other than a promise that ChatGPT will admit when it's wrong.
Many school districts are still struggling to figure out how to set policies on whether and how it can be used. “While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success,” said a school’s spokesperson Jenna Lyle from NYC. But there's no stopping a student from accessing ChatGPT from a personal phone or computer at home.
63.What can we learn about the term paper from paragraph 1?
A.It is a result of the improvement of education. B.It can be rated as passing by schoolteachers.
C.It has caught the attention of the public. D.It acts as a model for students to follow.
64.What makes Chat GPT different from GPT-3?
A.ChatGPT can create text. B.ChatGPT can edit digital books.
C.ChatGPT is free of charge to all. D.ChatGPT can ask its users questions.
65.What is Jenna's attitude towards students’ use of Chat GPT?
A.Favourable. B.Tolerant. C.Uncaring. D.Disapproving.
66.What is the best title for the text?
A.How Are Schools Handling Chat GPT?
B.You Can Check When ChatGPT’s Telling the Truth
C.What Is ChatGPT and Why Are Schools Blocking It?
D.Students Are Using ChatGPT to Do Their Homework
【答案】63.B 64.C 65.D 66.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。ChatGPT是最近推出的新一代人工智能系统,功能强大,但是美国纽约市的一些学校决定在学校设备和网络上限制ChatGPT,因为学生可能使用它作弊。
63.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Ask the new artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write an essay about the cause of the American Civil War and you can watch it produce a persuasive term paper in a matter of seconds that has even be enable to pass school exams.(让新的人工智能工具ChatGPT写一篇关于美国内战起因的文章,你可以看到它在几秒钟内写出一篇有说服力的学期论文,甚至可以通过学校考试)”可知,学期论文可以被学校老师评为及格。故选B。
64.细节理解题。根据第二段的 But unlike previous models of so-called“large language models”, such as Open AI’s GPT-3, launched in 2020, the ChatGPT tool is available to anyone with an Internet connection for free and designed to be more user-friendly.(但与之前所谓的“大型语言模型”不同,比如Open AI在2020年推出的GPT-3, ChatGPT工具对任何有互联网连接的人都是免费的,而且设计得更加用户友好)”可知,ChatGPT与GPT-3的不同之处在于ChatGPT面向任何人都是免费的。故选C。
65.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success(虽然这个工具可能能够提供快速而简单的问题答案,但它并不能培养批判性思维和解决问题的能力,而这对学术和终身成功至关重要)”可推断,Jenna对学生使用ChatGPT持否定态度。故选D。
66.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Ask the new artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write an essay about the cause of the American Civil War and you can watch it produce a persuasive term paper in a matter of seconds that has even be enable to pass school exams. That’s one reason why New York City school officials this week started blocking the impressive but controversial writing tool that can generate paragraphs of human-like text.(让新的人工智能工具ChatGPT写一篇关于美国内战起因的文章,你可以看到它在几秒钟内写出一篇有说服力的学期论文,甚至可以通过学校考试。这就是为什么纽约市的学校官员本周开始封锁这个令人印象深刻但有争议的写作工具的原因之一,这个工具可以生成类似人类的文本段落)”结合文章说明了ChatGPT是最近推出的新一代人工智能系统,功能强大,但是美国纽约市的一些学校决定在学校设备和网络上限制ChatGPT,因为学生可能使用它作弊。故C选项“什么是ChatGPT,为什么学校要屏蔽它?”最符合文章标题。故选C。
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A.It takes continuous time and effort to be successful in any area.
B.The general rule goes that the harder you try, the greater results you get.
C.Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly.
D.It always takes tests and then fails us to learn anything worthwhile.
E.However, in most circumstances your effort and attempt go well alongside with your desired achievement.
F.But the price we pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own path.
Life is not easy when you are looking for something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences. ____67____ Here are some life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.
___68___ However, people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. At this time, people refer only to people who have already achieved what they want to do. Look at any successful person and you’ll notice one thing common in all of them: they took time to learn and mastered their skill like no one else. There is no elevator to success and you have to take the stairs.
Be brave to take the road less traveled. In our whole life, we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests, do the same thing everyone does, take the same career path everyone takes, wear the same clothes everyone wears, and hang out with the same people we work with. Why? Because we are scared to fail. But when you get bored of life, you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different from anyone else’s out there in the world. ___69___
You don’t have to live your life in a way society wants you to.___70___Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected that career.Worst of all, people follow them without even asking.There is no harm in believing in old beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that you should first do what you think is right.
【答案】67.D 68.A 69.F 70.C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了几个人生教训。
67.空前说当你想追寻值得做的事情并准备学习最好的经验时,生活并不总是容易的,此处解释不容易的原因,故D项(它总是考验我们,让我们通过失败来学习有价值的东西)符合语境。故选D项。
68.空后说然而,当人们花的时间比他们预想的长时,他们就会感到沮丧,此处讲的还是关于时间的话题,并与下文形成转折,故A项(在任何领域取得成功都需要持续的时间和努力)符合语境。故选A项。
69.空前说但当你对生活感到厌倦时,你就会意识到你并不是要做每个人都做的事,你的命运和世界上其他人的命运是不同的,此处承接这一话题,F项中的your own path与前面的“your destiny is different from anyone else’s”相呼应,故F项(但我们为实现这一点所付出的代价是巨大的,因为走自己的路需要极大的勇气)符合语境。故选F项。
70.空后说父母有时会强迫孩子选择自己不喜欢的专业就因为别的孩子选择了那个专业,这是对盲目跟风的举例说明,故C项(许多旧习最近又开始风行,人们盲目地跟风)符合语境。故选C项。
【点睛】在六选四的解题过程中,空处上下文出现的hut, yet, however等表示转折关系的词语往往是重要线索,例如本篇第2空,根据空后的“However, people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. ”可知,然而,当人们花的时间比他们预想的长时,他们就会感到沮丧,此处讲的还是关于花费时间的话题,“However表明空处与下文是转折关系,故A项(在任何领域取得成功都需要持续的时间和努力)符合语境。
IV.Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
These days, its not unusual to see middle-aged men collecting Star Wars action figures,office workers wearing Hello Kitty accessories, or celebrities like David Beckham playing with Lego bricks, it's becoming more and more common to see adult taking an interest in toys, comic books and the activities that are traditionally associated with children. This phenomenon has given rise to a new word: kidult.
What lies behind the phenomenon? One is about adults' nostalgia(怀旧)for the carefree days of childhood, and this is especially true with today's fast-paced, stressful lifestyles. Another is about a societal change in recent decades where people are starting families later. As a result, they have more time and money to spend on themselves. Some adults could only window-shop for their dream toys when they were kids, but now they can afford that radio-controlled car or high-priced doll they have always wanted.
Society traditionally disapproves of adults who refuse to put aside childhood interests, viewing the refusal as a sign of social immaturity (不成熟) and irresponsibility. Those who agree with this view sometimes claim that kidults are suffering from the pop-psychology concept known as Peter Pan Syndrome, an anomaly(异常)that people remain emotionally at the level of teenagers.
From the standpoint of kidults, though, this phenomenon is seen as nothing but harmless fun. Kidults insist that having youthful interests keeps them young, happy and creative, and their refusal to conform to society's acccptable tastes shows independent thinking. Besides, they argue that being part of the social trend of delayed adulthood is not purely a personal choice. The real causes include expensive housing, increased educational requirements for employment and poor work opportunities.
71.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Kidults refer to adults who take up childhood interests. The growing phenomenon can be explained by their desire to recapture childhood pleasures and their ability to afford them because of delayed marriage. Though traditionally considered immature and irresponsible, kidults believe this harmless behavior, which benefits the individuals and shows their independent thinking, is due largely to social factors.
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说,童心未泯的成人指的是那些和童年时一样有兴趣的成年人。这种日益增长的现象可以解释为,他们渴望重获童年的快乐,而由于推迟结婚,这使他们有能力负担得起自己想要的玩具。虽然传统上被认为是不成熟和不负责任的,但童心未泯的成人认为这种无害的行为,有利于个人和显示他们的独立思考,这种现象很大程度上是由社会因素引起的。
【详解】1 要点摘录
①These days, its not unusual to see middle-aged men collecting Star Wars action figures,office workers wearing Hello Kitty accessories, or celebrities like David Beckham playing with Lego bricks, it's becoming more and more common to see adult taking an interest in toys, comic books and the activities that are traditionally associated with children.
②This phenomenon has given rise to a new word: kidult.
③One is about adults' nostalgia(怀旧)for the carefree days of childhood, and this is especially true with today's fast-paced, stressful lifestyles.

V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。)
Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets
72.你能帮我转发这条消息到班级群吗?非常急!(favor)
【答案】Can you do me a favor to forward this message to the class group? Very urgent!
【详解】考查固定短语。结合句意表示“帮某人”短语为do sb. a favor;表示“转发这条消息到班级群”翻译为forward this message to the class group;表示“紧急的”应用形容词urgent。故翻译为Can you do me a favor to forward this message to the class group? Very urgent!
73.我外婆眼力不济了,看不了太小的字,需要一部适合老年人的手机。(suitable)

74.几乎所有的语言都会有一些意思非常具体的词汇,它们根本无法翻译。(whose)
【答案】Nearly all languages have some very specific words, whose meanings cannot be translated.
【详解】考查时态语态和定语从句。句中主语“几乎所有的语言”翻译为nearly all languages; 宾语“一些意思非常具体的词汇”翻译为some very specific words;后接非限定性定语从句,句中先行词 words,在非限定性定语从句中作名词meanings的定语,所以用关系代词whose引导。陈述客观事实,用一般现在时。meaning 与translate之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故翻译为Nearly all languages have some meaningful and specific words, whose meaning cannot be translated.
75.只有提前了解所申请学校的要求,且充分做准备,你才有可能在面试中脱颖而出。(Only)
【答案】Only by knowing the requirements of the school you are applying to in advance and making sufficient preparation can you stand out in the interview.
【详解】考查部分倒装、定语从句和动词短语。only修饰状语放在句首,主句应用部分倒装。表示“要求”应用名词requirement作宾语,表示“申请”应用动词短语apply to,此处应用定语从句修饰school,定语从句中缺少宾语,所以关系代词可以省略。表示“提前”应用短语in advance,表示“做准备”应用短语make preparation,表示“充分的”可用形容词sufficient,表示“脱颖而出”可用动词短语stand out,表示“面试”可用名词interview。再结合其它汉语提示,故翻译为Only by knowing the requirements of the school you are applying to in advance and making sufficient preparation can you stand out in the interview.

【答案】
Last year, we took an active part in the volunteer service activities held by our school, during which we have gained much happiness and experience to fulfill our life. But with happiness, we still met many difficulties that are headaches for us.
It is in an activity where we went to the nursing home that we met the most difficult thing. There was a lonely old woman who had lost her family, with herself living in the world. She needed more company than others. She was eager for our arrival, even continuous company. Seeing her eagerness for love, we all couldn’t hold our emotions, but without any solutions. Luckily, one of our classmates lived nearby, she asked her mother to frequently visit the old woman, who was a housewife at home. By the regular company of her mother and us, the old woman became more delighted than before, and lived a richer life.
From the thing, we knew the real meaning of volunteer service activities.
