C. of great benefit D. of great beneficial
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：这个项目将对整个地区大有裨益。分析句子结构，本句使用了be of +抽象名词的用法，该结构相当于be+形容词，即be of benefit = be beneficial，A项因great做副词使用的时候含义为“很好地；极好地；很棒地”，不符合句意，故选C项。

C. lost; lost D. lost; loss
【答案】D
【解析】

A. is B. are C. has D. have
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装句和主谓一致。句意：书的最上面是他最珍视的相册。表示地点的介词短语或副词位于句首时，句子使用全部倒装，即把谓语动词提到主语之前，主语the photo album是单数，谓语也用单数，排除B、D；The photo album is on top of the books.，句子是主系表结构，故选A。
7. —Is it _______ to argue with them?

A. worthy; being discussed B. worthwhile; discussing
C. worthy; to discuss D. worthwhile; to be discussed
【答案】B
【解析】

8. This national park is the unique area __________ live both wild Siberian tigers and Siberian leopards.
A. where B. which
C. as D. who
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这是一个独特的地区，这里同时住着野生西伯利亚虎和西伯利亚豹。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词是the unique area，意为“一个独特的地区”，定语从句是全部倒装句，定语从句中不缺少主语、宾语、或表语。因此，设空处在从句中作地点状语，并且要用关系副词where引导，相当于in this area。故选A项。
9. It was not until I started to reflect on the day _______ I had made a huge mistake.
A. did I realize B. that I realized
C. had I realized D. when I realized
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句和动词时态。句意：直到我开始回想那天，我才意识到我犯了一个巨大的错误。分析句子可知，句子是it was not until...+that...强调句，根据时间状语从句中started可知，主句也用一般过去时，故选B。
10. It remains to be seen whether all the measures _______ now can reduce traffic jams.
A. have been taken B. are being taken
C. that have been taken D. that are being taken
【答案】D
【解析】

11. The clever boy made a hole in the wall, ________ he could see ________ was going on inside the house.
A. which; what B. through which; what
C. through that; what D. which; that
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和宾语从句。句意：这个聪明的男孩在墙上打了一个洞，通过这个洞他可以看到房子里发生的事情。空格处引导的是定语从句，句子表示“通过这个洞他可以看到房子里发生的事情”，“通过”是through，先行词wall是物，因此第一空用through which引导非限制性定语从句；第二空引导的是宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，此处表示“房子里发生的事情”，因此第二空用what引导宾语从句。故选B。
12. We have formed a worthwhile opinion with factual knowledge _______ our thinking.
A. upon which we based
B. which we are based on
C. which to base upon
D. to which we based on
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我们已经用事实知识形成了有价值的观点，我们的思维就建立在这些事实知识的基础上。设空处考查“介词+关系代词”引导限制性定语从句，此处还考查动词短语base...on/upon...，先行词为factual knowledge，为物，在从句中作on/upon的宾语，因介词提前至关系代词之前，故用关系代词which，故填upon which we based，故选A项。
13. It is generally considered unwise to give a child________ he or she wants.
A. however B. whatever
C. whichever D. whenever
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查名词性从句的连接词。句意：无论孩子想要什么就给什么，通常被认为是不明智的。句中涉及动词短语give sb. sth.，在从句中作直接宾语，从句中缺少wants宾语，指物，且根据句意可知，此处表示“无论什么”，应填连接代词whatever。故选B。
14. _____ for his action on the playing field ,but he is also famous for the things that he does off the playing field.
A. Not he is only known B. Not only is he known
C. Only is he known not D. He is only not known

【解析】
【详解】考查倒装句。句意：他不仅因为在球场的行动著名，而且因为在球场以外是事情著名。根据句意可知，该句使用了固定结构not only. . . but also“不仅……而且……”。not only 位于句首时，not only 部分的主谓要进行部分倒装，故选B。
15. On AIDS Day, the minister of Health Department made a proposal that the problems which were ___________paid special attention to.

No matter what you love, you’ll find that every One Day U event is filled with exploratory talks that will challenge you as if you were a student in college once again!

B
Many years ago, my mother read from the book Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey to me. I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mother’s voice changed my world.
Long before I could read on my own, she shared with me the strength and beauty of McCloskey’s language, a story of a little girl and her mother out in nature, co-existing with a mother bear and her own baby. The power of the story, of language and of my mother all came together. And it happened many times after that, over and over. The reading aloud made me a reader.
Years later, I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. His life, so far, had not been easy. His childhood was troubled by poverty and loneliness. In that moment, in the joy of reading aloud, he had an idea that started something big.
What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, let’s make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let’s have a holiday for reading aloud.” Therefore, my organization, Lit World, created a grassroots movement World Read Aloud Day in 2010 to honor this young boy’s wish for everyone to be able to have a reading aloud every day.
Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world. This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day.
Children who grow up as readers become engaged citizens of the global world, and every child deserves the right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge.
19. How did the author’s parent change her life?
A. By reading aloud to her. B. By listening to her reading.
C. By buying many books for her. D. By encouraging her to read aloud.
20. What was the small child’s idea in Paragraph 3?
A. To start a holiday. B. To reduce poverty.
C. To found Lit World. D. To overcome loneliness.
21. What can we know about World Read Aloud Day from Paragraph 5?
A. Its origin. B. Its future.
C. Its purpose. D. Its development.
22. Which would the author most probably agree with according to the passage?
A. Sticking to reading isn’t easy.
B. Reading gives a high rate of return.
C. Reading aloud can remove loneliness.
D. Kids should try to change the world.

【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In that moment, in the joy of reading aloud, he had an idea that started something big.(在那一刻，在大声朗读的喜悦中，他有了一个想法，开始了一件大事。)”和下一段“What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, let’s make sure everyone knows how good this feels.

C
Humans have been exploring the infinite abyss (深渊) beyond Earth’s atmosphere. When astronauts explore the vast expanse of outer space, they need to wear high-tech spacesuits to protect them from the freezing conditions of the universe.
Hollywood movies have idealized the iconic suit, its design leading the masses to believe it’s an outfit that can be slipped on within minutes. In fact, the spacesuit which is made up of nearly a half dozen different components and can have up to 16 layers is its own fully functioning spacecraft that takes hours to put on and requires help from one’s colleagues.
The astronauts on the Artemis missions, NASA’s next program to send the first woman and the first person of color to the moon, will wear the latest spacesuit, called the exploration extravehicular mobility unit, also known as xEMU, according to NASA.
Each spacesuit has a portable life support system, which includes a water tank for the cooling garment and carbon dioxide removal system to regulate body temperature, remove excess heat and maintain the astronauts’ health, said Richard Rhodes, the deputy lead for xEMU pressure garment development at NASA. A two-way radio system is also included so the astronauts can communicate during the missions.
“When the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon, they couldn’t bend over and pick up a rock,” said NASA astronaut Mike Fincke. Fortunately, spacesuits have come a long way since then and have a more flexible structure with gloves. The gloves are one of the most complicated parts of the spacesuit, said Cathleen Lewis, curator of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum. “Gloves are very difficult to design to be protective and also allow the manual flexibility that astronauts need to do meaningful work.” she noted.
The spacesuits will also be getting some upgrades for the latest lunar mission. Richard Rhodes’s team is working on the spacesuit that will allow for more movement to explore the rough terrain of the moon while still being strong enough to protect the wearer.
23. What can we learn about the spacesuit in Hollywood movies?
A. It provides the most ideal design.
B. It functions as a spacecraft of its own.
C. It can be put on without too much difficulty.
D. It has larger mass than real-life spacesuits.
24. In what aspect does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about the latest spacesuit?
A. Its cooling garment. B. Its main parts.
C. Its existing problems. D. Its initial aims.
25. Why are the Apollo astronauts mentioned in the passage?
A. To contrast the Apollo spacesuit with the latest one.
B. To give an example of a successful space mission.
C. To demonstrate the difficulty of the Apollo missions.
D. To highlight the incompetence of the Apollo astronauts.
26. Which of the following best describes NASA’s spacesuit for the next lunar mission?
A. High-tech but impractical. B. Portable and mobile.
C. Costly but well-received. D. Flexible and protective.
【答案】23. C 24. B 25. A 26. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了最新的宇航服设计。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Hollywood movies have idealized the iconic suit, its design leading the masses to believe it’s an outfit that can be slipped on within minutes.(好莱坞电影把标志性的西装理想化了，它的设计让大众相信它是一件几分钟就能穿上的衣服。)”可知，穿上好莱坞电影中的宇航服不需要太多困难就能穿上。故选C。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Each spacesuit has a portable life support system, which includes a water tank for the cooling garment and carbon dioxide removal system to regulate body temperature, remove excess heat and maintain the astronauts’ health, said Richard Rhodes, the deputy lead for xEMU pressure garment development at NASA. A two-way radio system is also included so the astronauts can communicate during the missions.(NASA xEMU压力服研发副主任Richard Rhodes说，每件宇航服都有一个便携式生命支持系统，其中包括一个用于冷却服的水箱和二氧化碳去除系统，以调节体温，去除多余的热量，保持宇航员的健康。其中还包括一个双向无线电系统，以便宇航员在执行任务期间进行通信。)”可推知，第4段主要从组成部分谈论最新的宇航服的主要部分。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“When the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon, they couldn’t bend over and pick up a rock(当阿波罗号的宇航员在月球上行走时，他们不能弯腰捡起一块石头)”以及“Fortunately, spacesuits have come a long way since then and have a more flexible structure with gloves.(幸运的是，从那时起，宇航服已经走过了漫长的道路，并且有了更灵活的手套结构。)”可推知，文章提到阿波罗宇航员是为了将阿波罗宇航服和最新的宇航服做对比。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“Richard Rhodes’s team is working on the spacesuit that will allow for more movement to explore the rough terrain of the moon while still being strong enough to protect the wearer.(Richard Rhodes的团队正在研究一种宇航服，这种宇航服将允许更多的运动，以探索月球崎岖的地形，同时仍然足够坚固，以保护穿着者。)”可推知，NASA下一次登月任务的宇航服是灵活且具有保护性的。故选D。
D
A 1930s-ancient restaurant in my town has done little to update itself over the past 80 years. This is part of its charm, as is the wooden phone booth(亭)sitting neglected in the age of the cellphone. And we need it now more than ever.
For me it symbolizes that phone calls were once private affairs, even if the information being shared was not sensitive. In public places this meant resorting to the phone booth—a private space where one could converse in peace without being overheard.
When I grew up in the 1960s, phone calls used to be regarded as something private, even at home. However, within the space of very few years, private conversations have become public broadcasts, and being overheard seems to be the point. The problem, of course, is that we now carry our phones with us and answer the device as soon as it rings, but at the price of our privacy being disclosed!
Not long ago I was sitting in Boston’s South Station, waiting for my train while a man was on his cellphone. I silently recited every detail of his phone conversation including his card number and its password. I stared at the fellow. He glanced at me, asking, “What?” My immediate respons: Reciting all I had overheard to him, which left him opening his eyes wide.
There is no more privacy, no longer a sense of personal borders or limits. The cellphone has become a megaphone, making our privacy known so easily to others.
To return to phone booths: Why did they disappear? They used to be everywhere in my childhood and can readily serve as cellphone shelters today. A Mr. Riley had one in his small, struggling candy store where I grew up. Even at the age of 9, before I had acquired any life experiences, I would have labeled “private”, I would sometimes separate myself from my friends, close its door, and call home in peace and quiet.
Should you think a phone booth has no value today, I saw one on eBay going for $ 4,750.
And Mr. Riley would have flipped.
27. How does the author support the theme of the passage?
A. By listing various reasons.
B. By comparing differences.
C. By sharing his own experiences.
D. By proving study results.
28. What is the underlined word “megaphone” in Para 5?
A. An earphone. B. A loudspeaker.
C. A mobile phone. D. A calculator.
29. What does the author really indicate when referring to the old phone booth?
A. The place the old phone booth holds.
B. The good interpersonal relationships.
C. The money value of the old-fashioned booth.
D. The privacy boundaries people should keep.
30. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. My Story of Old Phone Booths
B. Does Privacy Still Matter Now?
C. The Return of the Old Phone Booth
D. Old Phone Booths, Still Valuable?
【答案】27. C 28. B 29. D 30. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的经历讲述了手机时代人们的隐私很容易曝光，而旧的木制电话亭则可以提供一个很好的空间保护隐私。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Not long ago I was sitting in Boston’s South Station, waiting for my train while a man was on his cellphone. I silently recited every detail of his phone conversation including his card number and its password. I stared at the fellow. He glanced at me, asking, “What?” My immediate respons: Reciting all I had overheard to him, which left him opening his eyes wide.(不久前，我坐在波士顿南站，等着我的火车，而一个男人正在打电话。我默默地背诵了他电话交谈的每一个细节，包括他的卡号和密码。我盯着那家伙。他瞥了我一眼，问：“什么？”我的第一反应是： 把我无意中听到的一切都背给他听，这让他睁大了眼睛。)”可推知，作者以自己的经历来支持文章的主题——手机时代人们的隐私很容易曝光，所以旧时电话亭有其存在的必要，故选C。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线单词下文“making our privacy known so easily to others.(让我们的隐私很容易被别人知道。)”和上段提到的当一个人打电话时，作者听到了所有细节可知，人们的隐私很容易被别人听到，由此可推知，手机成为了扩音器，画线单词“megaphone”与B项“loudspeaker.(扩音器)”意思一样，故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In public places this meant resorting to the phone booth—a private space where one could converse in peace without being overheard.(在公共场所，这意味着要求助于电话亭——这是一个私人空间，人们可以在这里安静地交谈，而不会被人听到。)”和倒数第二段中“There is no more privacy, no longer a sense of personal borders or limits. (不再有隐私，不再有个人边界或限制的感觉。)”可知，如今手机使得人们没有隐私，由此可推知，作者提到旧电话亭是为了暗示人们应该保持隐私界限。故选D。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者以第一段“A 1930s-ancient restaurant in my town has done little to update itself over the past 80 years. This is part of its charm, as is the wooden phone booth(亭)sitting neglected in the age of the cellphone. And we need it now more than ever.(我们镇上一家上世纪30年代的古老餐馆在过去80年里几乎没有做什么更新。这就是它的魅力所在，就像在手机时代被忽视的木质电话亭一样。我们现在比任何时候都需要它。)”开篇突出旧的电话亭存在的必要性，中间段落将手机与旧时电话亭作对比，突出旧时电话亭能保护人们的隐私，作者以旧时电话亭结尾，突出了其价值，由此可知，整篇文章以旧时的电话亭展开，讲述了旧时电话亭存在的必要性，D项“旧电话亭，仍然有价值吗？”适合作文章标题，故选D。


Ⅳ.阅读填空(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。
How do you feel about bees? Do you get annoyed when they fly around you and do you fear their mission is just to sting (叮) you? ___31___ Without them, we might starve (饿死).
Bees deserve some respect. They give us honey, and they play their part either pollinating (授粉) the many vegetables and fruits we eat directly or pollinating the food for the animals that we then consume. ___32___ That’s not all — a study in the UK, found bees and other pollinating insects have a global economic value of around £120bn ($150bn) and contribute around £690m ($850m) to the UK economy every year. So, bees are worth protecting.
___33___ But experts say we should be taking care of all our bees. Researchers say conservation efforts should be aimed at a wide number of species — even those that currently contribute little to crop pollination — in order to maintain biodiversity and ensure future food security. ___34___ It’s something we should be worried about because, as Gill Perkins, chief executive of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, said, “They provide a whole ecosystem service.” The recent lockdowns caused by the coronavirus pandemic (流行病) seem to have given bee populations a little boost because they faced less human disturbance, traffic and polluting fumes.
Conservationists hope, going forward, people will appreciate bees more and encourage them to do well as they reconnect with nature. Gill Perkins says, “They are beginning to realise how their mental health and wellbeing is supported by nature — particularly by bumblebees (大黄蜂), which are so beautiful and buzzy.” ___35___
A. A small number of bee species are essential for crops such as apples and strawberries.
B. The bees busied themselves at making honey.
C. So, it really seems time to give bees a second chance.
D. In fact, they are the world’s most important pollinators.
E. The words remind people of this saying “honey is sweet but the bee stings”.
F. Love them or dislike them, these little insects are extremely important creatures.
G. Unfortunately, in recent times, bee populations have been declining due to pesticides, disease and habitat loss.
【答案】31. F 32. D 33. A 34. G 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了蜜蜂的作用和人们应该怎样对待蜜蜂。
【31题详解】
上文“Do you get annoyed when they fly around you and do you fear their mission is just to sting (叮) you? (当它们在你身边飞来飞去的时候，你会生气吗?你会担心它们的任务只是为了叮你吗?)”提出我们对蜜蜂的误解，下文“Without them, we might starve (饿死).(没有它们，我们可能会挨饿)”介绍蜜蜂的重要性，上下文句意有转折关系，F项“Love them or dislike them, these little insects are extremely important creatures.(不管你喜不喜欢，这些小昆虫都是极其重要的生物)”承上启下，句中“Love them or dislike them”照应上文人们对蜜蜂的态度。故选F项。
【32题详解】
上文“They give us honey, and they play their part either pollinating (授粉) the many vegetables and fruits we eat directly or pollinating the food for the animals that we then consume.(它们为我们提供蜂蜜，它们要么为我们直接食用的许多蔬菜和水果授粉，要么为我们食用的动物的食物授粉)”提出蜜蜂为植物授粉，D项“In fact, they are the world’s most important pollinators.(事实上，它们是世界上最重要的传粉者)”承接上文，介绍它们是世界上最重要的传粉者。上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
【33题详解】
下文“But experts say we should be taking care of all our bees. (但专家表示，我们应该照顾好所有的蜜蜂)”特别强调要照顾好所有的蜜蜂，根据But可知，上下文有转折关系；A项“A small number of bee species are essential for crops such as apples and strawberries.(对于苹果和草莓等作物，少数种类的蜜蜂是非常重要的)”讲只有少数种类的蜜蜂是是非常重要，与下文构成转折关系。故选A项。
【34题详解】
根据指代关系和下文“It’s something we should be worried about (这是我们应该担心的事情)”可知，上文应出现It指代对象，且是令人担心的事情，G项“Unfortunately, in recent times, bee populations have been declining due to pesticides, disease and habitat loss.(不幸的是，近年来，由于杀虫剂、疾病和栖息地的丧失，蜜蜂的数量一直在下降)”中“bee populations have been declining”即令人担心的事情，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
【35题详解】
上文“They are beginning to realise how their mental health and wellbeing is supported by nature — particularly by bumblebees (他们开始意识到他们的心理健康和幸福是如何得到大自然的支持的——尤其是大黄蜂)”提出人们逐渐开始认识到蜜蜂的重要性，C项“So, it really seems time to give bees a second chance.(所以，似乎真的是时候再给蜜蜂一次机会了)”承接上文，既然蜜蜂重要，所以应该再给它们机会，让它们再次壮大起来，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。

考查名词短语。句意：汉字作为一种艺术形式，被称为“中国书法”，其发展过程中体现了对汉字书写体系的高度重视。根据句意可知，此处表示“汉字的发展过程中被作为一种艺术形式”，“被……看作”为be seen as，“一种艺术形式”为an art form，“汉字”为Chinese characters，“汉字的发展过程”为in the development of Chinese characters，故填in the development of Chinese characters as an art form。
【77题详解】
考查动词短语和时态。句意：随着中国在全球事务中扮演着越来越重要的角色，越来越多的国际学生……。根据句意可知，此处表示“在全球事务中扮演着越来越重要的角色”，“在……中扮演……角色”为短语play a...role in，“越来越重要的”用形容词比较级greater作定语，修饰名词role，“全球事务”为短语global affairs，句子描述一般性事实，应用一般现在时，主语是China，谓语动词play应用三单形式，故填plays a greater role in global affairs。
【78题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：委员会成立了，旨在减少对那些埃及建筑物的破坏，并防止文物损失。此处表示“被建立来减少破坏”，“建立”为动词establish，和主语A committee是被动关系，且句子描述一般过去时，主语是单数，be动词应用was，“减少”为动词limit，“破坏”为动词damage，为不可数名词，此处表示“为了减少”应用limit的不定式作目的状语，故填was established to limit damage。
【79题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：委员会成立了，旨在减少对那些埃及建筑物的破坏，并防止文物损失。此处表示“防止文物损失”，“防止”为动词prevent，“文物”为cultural relics，“……的损失”为the loss of，此处表示“为了防止文物损失”，动词prevent应用不定式作目的状语，前面由不定式to，所以此处省略不定式to，prevent和动词limit是并列关系，故填prevent the loss of cultural relics。
【80题详解】
考查名词和时态。句意：该委员会请求各个部门捐款，并在国际社会筹集资金。此处表示“各个部门捐款并筹集资金”，“捐款”为名词复数contributions作宾语，表示泛指，“来自各个部门”为from different departments，“筹集资金”为raise funds，由asked可知，句子描述过去发生的事，所以谓语动词raise应用过去式和asked是并列关系，故填contributions from different departments and raised funds。

【答案】 Chinese characters are the essence of China’s culture. So in our country, calligraphy has always been regarded as one of the most important arts. As Chinese, we should practice calligraphy because we can get some benefits from it.
First of all, while practicing Chinese calligraphy, we can learn more about Chinese culture and history, for some characters have their historical origins. Second, practicing calligraphy can help us to settle down and soften our emotions. When we are anxious or upset, it can make us calm down and turn to be rational so that we could not do something impulsive. Finally, it is also a good way for us to improve our ability of appreciation and cultivate a good aesthetic vision.
Since practicing calligraphy is beneficial to us, let’s do it, which is a way to inherit our culture.
