二、阅读理解
It’s not easy to find a job. Many jobs have age or experience requirements that you might not meet. On top of that, you need to juggle(应付) schoolwork, extra curriculars, and your social life. Fortunately, there are still some good jobs for you to start gaining working experience.
Tutor
Straight-A student? Then a job as a tutor(家庭教师) might be the best option for you. Helping younger students with their homework is a great way to put what you’ve studied to good use and make some extra money. One of the easiest ways to show that you’re qualified to teach other students is by listing your GPA(Grade Point Average) on your tutor resume.
Dog Walker
Love dogs? Then a position as a dog walker is the perfect fit for you. Dog walking requires no work experience and has flexible hours. However, you may need to do some shadowing or an interview before people trust you with their pets.
Delivery Driver
If you’re 16+ years old and have a driver’s license, you could try working as a delivery driver. Driving is a great way to gain relevant experience and show future employers that you’re responsible and work well under pressure.
Call Center Representative
If you don’t mind talking on the phone, then a job as a call center worker is a good choice for you. Working as a call center representative can even teach you some useful customer service skills that will help your career later on. To land a job at a call center, highlight your customer service and interpersonal skills on your resume.
21、Who are the passage intended for?
A. Parents. B. Teachers. C. Students. D. Employers.
22、What qualifies you as a tutor?
A. Relevant experience. B. Timely homework completion.
C. Flexible time schedule. D. Impressive academic performance.
23、Which job requires good social skills?
A. Tutor. B. Dog walker.
C. Delivery driver. D. Call center representative.
The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Come fall, our backyard football games began with passing practice.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, accelerating my competitive fever. However, in girls’ sports games at my school, I was no star. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. School sports did not bleed into the weekends, as they do today, but at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.
24、What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. responsibility. B. disappointment C. shame D. desire
25、What did the author owe her victory in the Softball Throw event to?
A. Her advanced sports outfits.
B. Her confidence in her sports ability.
C. The sports talent inherited from her father.
D. The guidance and training offered by her father.
26、What happened after the author stepped into adulthood?
A. She generally exercised on weekends. B. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force.
C. She preferred reading to exercising. D. She maintained her love for sports.
27、What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?
A. To describe how her father built her interest in sports.
B. To recall her childhood memories about sports.
C. To express her passion for sports and fitness.
D. To emphasize the benefits of physical exercise.
Today, poetry and science are often considered to be mutually exclusive(互相排斥) career paths. But that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging(再现) among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.
“Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.
Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth’s workshops. In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem, which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members’ research projects. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do a disservice(伤害) to ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says.
That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says.
Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share.
28、What is the purpose of mentioning the celebrities in paragraph 1?
A. To display they were talented.
B. To confirm they were out of favor.
C. To encourage different career paths.
D. To show poetry and science can be combined.
29、What are Illingworth’s workshops aimed to do?
A. Promote a new science-poetry journal.
B. Inspire outsiders to pursue their careers in science.
C. Encourage science communication through poems
D. Get scientists to exchange ideas about the latest research.
30、What does Illingworth think of the dominant ways of science communication?
A. Conventional. B. Effective. C. Innovative. D. Complex.
31、Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Take on Poetry
B. Scientists and Poets Think Alike
C. Poetry: A Great Tool to Question the World
D. Science Communication: A Two-way Dialogue
Jason, a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard—he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night—but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or she’s doesn’t actually accomplish much.
This phenomenon can be seen on most college campuses. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day, and the students I used to see there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. The roommate who flips through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.
By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and efficiently accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.
The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’re pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work—it’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working. They fear it. It not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring.
In fact, the most important skill in becoming a straight—A student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive science research concludes that about fifty minutes is the optimal learning period to maximize the material integrated per time unit. So how do these students achieve this goal? To understand their secret to success, consider the following simple formula (公式): work accomplished = time spent × intensity of focus
Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight—A approach on the other hand, increases intensity in order to use less time.
32、Which of the following phenomenon is pseudo-working?
A. Tom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture.
B. Mike is sitting at a study lounge in preparation for a final exam quietly.
C. Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music.
D. Alice and Sara are sitting on the couch reading their favorite books.
33、Compared with straight-A students, the major problem of most students is that they ______.
A. want to spend more time on study B. are eager to follow their friends’ way
C. have got used to their study approach D. are unaware of their pseudo-working
34、What does the underlined word “optimal” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Possible. B. Best. C. Least. D. Accurate.
35、What does the author want to stress by mentioning the formula?
A. The length of time on study counts.
B. Concentration plays a key role in study.
C. Getting work done quickly means everything.
D. Effective study approach is very important.
三、七选五

54、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。
Sam was a junior high school student. He lived in a community in Charlotte and usually had little exposure to country life. So much of what he knew about plants came from text-books. Sam was a kind-hearted person. He longed for a chance to explore nature and he wanted to do his part to beautify the world.
Finally, the opportunity came. On Arbor Day (植树节), his class organized a trip to a local village to plant trees. Sam was excited about it and couldn’t wait to tell his mom the good news. So the next day, Sam and his mom went to buy some tools for planting trees, including a shovel(铲), a bucket, gloves and so on.
On the day of the event, Sam and his classmates arrived early at the starting point. It was a beautiful day and everyone looked particularly happy. With the tools in hand, Sam got into the bus with everyone else and headed off to their destination.
As soon as they reached the village, all the students were divided into three teams by their teacher. One team was responsible for planting the trees, one team for shovelling the soil and one team for watering the trees. At the teacher’s command, everyone started to do their job.
However, it was the first time that many of the students had taken part in planting trees, so they had no idea about how to start. Of course, Sam was one of them. Fortunately, their teacher was a middle-aged man from the countryside who had some knowledge of planting trees. In order to set an example to the students, the teacher started to plant trees himself. After watching the teacher plant the trees, everyone also became busy. Before long, they planted hundreds of trees. Sam watched very carefully, not wanting to miss any of the details. Finally, Sam learned how to plant trees by himself and felt happy.

解析：W: Well, I have always loved to travel. I still remember the first place I visited was Africa, where there was no running water or toilet, but it did not matter to me. I loved the excitement of seeing animals run freely in the wild. It was so wonderful. I also remember vividly the adventure of camping. Since my visit to Africa, I have visited many other places: Australia, China, Indonesia, America and Peru. I plan to visit Japan and Russia. People often ask me why I love to travel. How could anyone not love travelling? There is always such an attraction in seeing new things, meeting new people and tasting new foods. However, I must admit it’s expensive to travel. There are so many costs of travelling. I have to pay for the hotel room, food and transportation. Also, the admission fees of tourist attractions are usually high. So, I have spent a lot of money travelling. Although I complain about the high costs of travelling, I wouldn’t spend my money any other ways. I really love to travel.

28、答案：D
解析：目的意图题。根据第一段句子But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging(再现) among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.(但是,将研究成果翻译成歌词、俳句和其他诗歌形式正在科学家中重新流行起来,因为他们正在寻找其他方法来激励他人关注自己的发现。)可知,第一段提及诗歌和科学经常会被人们觉得是互相排斥的职业道路,但是并不总是这样的,然后列举了一系列的名人兼有诗人和数学家或物理学家或其他身份来证明其实诗歌和科学是可以结合在一起的,而且科学家还可以通过诗歌这种新途径来让其他人了解科学发现。故选D。
29、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段句子Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside their immediate scientific field.(通过讲习班和一本名为Consilience的新的科学诗歌杂志,伊林沃思正在帮助科学家将他们的最新研究成果转化为诗歌,以吸引那些不属于他们直接科学领域的人的欣赏。)可知,伊林沃斯的研讨会旨在帮助科学家通过诗歌传播他们的科学研究成果。故选C。
30、答案：A
解析：观点态度题。根据That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides.(这一观点得到了伊林沃斯的赞同,他认为科学传播倡议往往被公开演讲和不受干涉的Power Point幻灯片所主导。)可知,伊林沃斯觉得占支配地位的科学交流方式过于常规"conventional"。A.Conventional常规的,遵循习俗的;B.Effective有效的;C.Innovative革新的;D.Complex复杂的。故选A。
31、答案：A
解析：标题判断题。全文都在说把诗歌和科学结合起来,再根据“Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientific concepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says.( "事实上,当科学交流涉及写作和分享诗歌时,它会邀请专家和非专家之间的双向对话,"他说。伦敦帝国理工学院的教育家Scientist-poet Manjula Silva对此表示赞同。"诗歌提供了一种将复杂的科学概念翻译成每个人都能理解的语言的方法,"Silva说。)可知选项A.Scientists Take on Poetry(科学家通过写诗的方式传播科学)符合本文标题。故选A。
32、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段This phenomenon can be seen on most college campuses. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day, and the students I used to see there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. The roommate who flips through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.(这种现象在大多数大学校园中都可以看到。例如,在达特茅斯,主图书馆有一个部分是24小时开放的,我以前在深夜看到的学生成群结队地喝咖啡,绝对是伪工作。一边看电视一边在沙发上翻阅她的化学笔记的室友是伪工作。)可知,以上的现象都是"伪工作"。C项"Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music."(杰克一边听音乐一边在图书馆里写论文很长时间。)与以上例子相似,都是将自己置于分散注意力的环境中并坚持长时间工作,故选C项。
33、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’re pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work—it’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working. They fear it. It not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring.(这里更大的问题是大多数学生甚至没有意识到他们是在伪工作。对他们来说,伪工作就是工作—这是他们一直以来的工作方式,也是他们所有朋友的工作方式。他们从来没有想过可能有更好的方法。另一方面,全优学生对伪工作了如指掌。)可知,大多数学生并不了解他们在在"伪工作",但是优等生了解。D项"are unaware of their pseudo-working"(不知道他们的伪工作)符合原文表述,故选D项。
34、答案：B
解析：词句猜测题。根据文章第五段In fact, the most important skill in becoming a straight—A student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort.(事实上,成为一名全优学生最重要的技能是能够快速完成工作并尽量减少浪费的精力。)中的get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort"和"maximize the material integrated per time unit(最大化每个时间单位整合的材料)中的"maximize"可猜测是其意为"最佳的"。B项"Best"(最好的)符合句意,故选B项。
35、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第五段So how do these students achieve this goal? To understand their secret to success, consider the following simple formula (公式): work accomplished = time spent × intensity of focus(那么这些学生是如何实现这一目标的呢?要了解他们成功的秘诀,可以考虑以下简单的公式:完成的工作=花费的时间×专注的强度)最后一段Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight—A approach on the other hand, increases intensity in order to use less time.("伪工作"的特点是聚焦强度很低。因此,要通过伪工作来完成某件事,您需要花费大量时间。另一方面,直A方法会增加聚焦强度以减少时间。)可知,作者并不支持"伪工作",所以作者更加支持通过减少时间增加专注强度的方法,故推测作者列出公式是为了强调"专注强度"的重要性。B项"Concentration plays a key role in study."(专注在学习中起着关键作用。)符合推断,故选B项。

③推理判断题。根据前句What amazed me most was that thick clouds enveloped the mountainsides.(最让我吃惊的是,厚厚的云层笼罩着山腰),可知F项"这和我以前见过的任何事物都不一样"能够承接上文,What amazed me most是关键词。故选F。
④推理判断题。根据后句It made me doubtful about my persistence (这使我怀疑我的坚持),可知G项"最近的一次脚踝受伤让我对自己的体能没有把握"能够引起后句,doubtful about my persistence是关键词。故选G。
⑤推理判断题。根据前句As I was hiking, I started to reflect on how hiking was similar to other aspects of my life(当我徒步旅行时,我开始思考徒步旅行与我生活的其他方面有多么相似),可知B项"徒步旅行让我有时间思考"能够承接上文,reflect是关键词。故选B。

52、答案：①which②after③previously④was sent⑤valuable⑥deepening⑦taken⑧a⑨has travelled/has traveled⑩mysteries
解析：①考查非限制性定语从句。句意:我们中国人都很熟悉2023年是兔年,这让我们想起了月球上的"兔子"—中国的玉兔二号月球车。此处是非限定性定语从句,关系词指代前面整句话的内容,作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。

③考查副词。句意:这是有史以来第一次软着陆月球表面的先前未知的区域。此处修饰形容词uncharted,应用副词,作状语。故填previously。
④考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:在它发射之前,2018年5月,一颗中继卫星被送入太空,以促进地月通信。根据in May 2018可知,应用一般过去时,send与a relay satellite是逻辑动宾关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语是第三人称单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填was sent。
⑤考查形容词。句意:到目前为止,月球车已经收集了关于太阳风、土壤、凝胶状岩石和死火山的宝贵数据。此处修饰名词data,应用形容词,作定语,由句意可知,valuable"宝贵的"符合语境。故填valuable。
⑥考查现在分词。句意: "玉兔二号"传回的数据和图像增强了对着陆点的地理认识,加深了对月球形成和演化的理解。此处表示前面动作产生的一种自然的结果,即属预料之中的事,应用现在分词,作结果状语。故填deepening。

⑨考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,玉兔2号已经在月球背面行进了1400多米。根据till now可知,此处使用现在完成时,主语是单数,助动词使用has。故填has travelled或has traveled。
⑩考查可数名词的复数。句意:它将继续揭开月球的更多奥秘。mystery"奥秘"是可数名词,前面有more,数量大于一,应用名词复数形式。故填mysteries。

54、答案：
A few days later, a storm damaged some young trees in the community. After seeing what had happened, Sam felt that it was time for him to put the skills of planting trees he had learned to use. He went home and told his mom he wanted to save those trees. So he took the tools that he had used to plant the trees. With the skills taught by his teacher, he worked with his mom to replant those trees. They helped the trees survive.
The neighbours praised Sam for what he had done. Sam told them about his experience of planting trees. But he owed all the kindnesses to his teacher and mother. He explained that because of his teacher and mother, he learned the skills and saved the trees. The neighbours were very happy to hear that. They said Sam was a role model and that they would ask their children to learn the skills from Sam. Sam felt proud and decided to develop a better community and protect the environment with them.
