The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services”. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Linda, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I also wanted to try her kind of work. Therefore, with two friends, I flew to Caltutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets and passed out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
4. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who ________.
A. has a strong wish to be successful B. is willing to help those in need without pay
C. can afford to travel to different places D. has made a big fortune in life
5. Why did Linda choose to be a volunteer?
A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa. B. She had already had some experience.
C. She was asked by Mother Teresa. D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.
6. What is Linda’s new idea of being a volunteer?
A. Improving oneself through helping others. B. Working in Mother Teresa’s home.
C. Doing simple things to help the poor. D. Going abroad to help the sick.
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Be a Volunteer. B. Voluntary Life in India.
C. A Different Meaning of Volunteer. D. Inspiration from Mother Teresa.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I also wanted to try her kind of work.(我被她助人的精神和她对每个人无尽的爱所感动，所以高中毕业后，我也想尝试她那种工作)”可推知，Linda被Mother Teresa的精神感动，以Mother Teresa为榜样，也想尝试她的工作。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据二段中的“Linda, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means.(然而，我的一个好朋友Linda最近从印度回来，她对志愿者的意义有了新的认识)”及第三、四段讲述的Tracy的亲身经历，尤其是文中最后一句“It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.(就在那时，我意识到我并不是来帮忙的，而是来学习和体验另一种文化，这有助于提高我自己对生活和世界的理解)”可推知，Linda对志愿者的新认识是志愿者通过帮助别人来提高自己。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.”(“志愿者”一词在不同国家的含义可能略有不同，但它通常指“提供服务的人”)”及下文对Linda对志愿者的新认识和经历的详细讲述可知，A选项“志愿者的一个不同意义”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。
C
Chinese people are, quite rightly, proud of their food. However, when foreigners like Britons and Americans think of Chinese food, their impression of it is different to what you might think.
Growing up in the UK, the Chinese food I was used to eating was food I now recognize as being from Guangdong. For example, a typical dish I would order would be pork in sweet and sour sauce, probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side. This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants(移民) to the UK have come from Guangdong. You can tell, because when most British people try to copy the sound of Chinese, they actually copy the sound of Guangdong people—hearing the real Putonghua is sometimes a shock to British people who have grown up thinking it sounds completely different!
British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing, though. Chinese-American chef Ken Hom has been on British TV for 30 years, and he told BBC Food: “Chinese food at the beginning of the 80s (in the UK) was sweet and sour pork, mainly. Most Brits had the unchangeable view of Chinese food. Now you are seeing more local Chinese food from Sichuan, Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Guangdong food.” Similarly, to most Americans, Chinese food doesn’t go too far past orange chicken and fortune cookies, but more Chinese local dishes are becoming successful, especially in big cities like New York.
Attitudes have not quite changed completely, though. Many foreigners who live in China will be familiar with this question from a relative back at home: “Have they given you dog yet?” Yes, perhaps because people still know too little about Chinese culture, many people believe that Chinese people love to eat dog meat. And of course, some people do eat dogs, which to Americans is like “eating a member of one’s family” according to Vision Times. Also, Chinese people eat many other things people in the West do not—chicken claws, duck heads and some animals’ organs.
But what do foreigners think when they come to China and taste real Chinese food? You’ll be glad to know that in my experience, the impressions have been very good.
8. Why are some British people surprised when they hear the real Putonghua?
A. Because it sounds too funny to believe.
B. Because it’s different from what they hear.
C. Because they all find it hard to learn.
D. Because nobody has been to China before.
9. What does chef Ken Hom think of the present Chinese food?
A. Popular. B. Tastier.
C. Richer D. Best.
10. How does Paragraph 3 develop?
A. By giving examples. B. By making inferences.
C. By analyzing. D. By reasoning.
11. What can we infer from “Have they given you dog yet?”?
A. Foreigners don’t like eating dog meat at all.
B. Chinese hate dogs so they often eat them.
C. Chinese eat everything including dog meat.
D. There are differences between cultures.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本篇是一篇说明文，介绍了国外对于中国食品的刻板印象有些已经变化，由于文化差异的缘故，有些刻板印象仍然存在。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants(移民) to the UK have come from Guangdong. You can tell, because when most British people try to copy the sound of Chinese, they actually copy the sound of Guangdong people—hearing the real Putonghua is sometimes a shock to British people who have grown up thinking it sounds completely different!”可知当一些英国人听到真正的普通话时，他们发现它和他们听到的不同，因为那些外国人接触的大多数中国移民来自广东，故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的"Chinese food at the beginning of the 80s (in the UK) was sweet and sour pork, mainly. Most Brits had the unchangeable view of Chinese food… Now you are seeing more local Chinese food from Sichuan, Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Guangdong food"，可知chef Ken Hom认为目前的中国食物应该是更丰富了，故选C。
【10题详解】
概括归纳题。第三段为了反映主题句“British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing”英国人对中国菜的态度可能正在改变，举出了Chinese-American chef Ken Hom等例子，因此本段通过举例来展开。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Attitudes have not quite changed completely, though”不过，人们的态度并没有完全改变，然后提到了许多外国人仍然会问从中国归来的人他们给你狗了吗，说明了本段的主题句，即文化差异仍然存在，外国人对于中国食物的印象并未完全改变。故选D。
D
In July 2021,astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) planted pepper seeds as part of an experiment to test which plants could be successfully grown in space. The peppers were harvested four months later, and the team celebrated with a party and taste test.
For astronauts living mostly off prepackaged foods for months at a time on the ISS,fresh and flavourful produce is welcomed. With long missions to the Moon and Mars in focus, NASA is working to find sustainable ways for astronauts to enjoy fresh foods, which will add key nutrients to their diets and improve their state of mind.
Astronauts have grown radishes, zinnias and a variety of lettuces on board the ISS before, but this is the first time they grew peppers, which posed a new challenge, reports Elizabeth Howell for Space. com.
Biologists at the Kennedy Space Centre spent two years picking the perfect pepper. They wanted to try peppers because they’re a great source of vitamins and nutrients. and they can be eaten raw or cooked.Plus,peppers are fairly low maintenance (保养) to grow.
In June,a carrier delivered supplies to the ISS along with a package of 48 pepper seeds. Astronauts on board planted the seeds in a microwave oven-sized growing container. The conditions in it—such as lighting, watering and air circulation—were controlled by a crew based at the Kennedy Space Centre. On board, the astronauts collected data and offered feedback on the flavour of the peppers.
“This is important because the food astronauts eat needs to be as good as the rest of their equipment,” LaShelle Spencer, a plant scientist at NASA. said over the summer. “To successfully send people to Mars and bring them back to Earth, we will not only require the most nutritious foods, but the best tasting ones as well.”
12. Why did astronauts attempt to plant pepper in space?
A. Only pepper can grow in space.
B. There were no enough food for astronauts.
C. Humans wanted to test which plants can grow in space.
D. Pepper can grow better than other plants.
13. What special benefits does pepper have compared with other plants?
A Its nutrients are the highest.
B. It needn’t too much later care.
C. It improves their state of mind most.
D. The vitamins in it are the most.
14. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 5?
A. Container. B. Package. C. Microwave. D. Seed.
15. What can we infer from the text?
A. Astronaut need special nutrition to keep the best state of mind.
B. The idea that pepper is grown in space is silly.
C. It is the carrier that is in charge of sending feedback on the peppers.
D. Pepper can’t be eaten cooked in space but it can be eaten raw.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要告诉读者宇航员在太空种植辣椒的原因和过程。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话“In July 2021,astronauts on hoard the International Space Station (ISS) planted pepper seeds as part of an experiment to test which plants could be successfully grown in space.( 2021年7月，国际空间站上的宇航员种植了辣椒种子，作为测试哪些植物可以在太空中成功种植的实验的一部分。)”可知，宇航员试图在太空种植辣椒是因为人类想测试哪些植物可以在太空中生长。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段二三句“They wanted to try peppers because they're a great source of vitamins and nutrients. and they can be eaten raw or cooked. Plus, peppers are fairly low maintenance (保养) to grow. (他们想尝试辣椒，因为辣椒富含维生素和营养。它们可以生吃或煮熟。此外，辣椒的生长维护成本相当低。)”，可知他们想尝试辣椒是因为辣椒富含维生素和营养，可以生吃或煮熟。但不是说含有的维生素最多，营养最高，排除D选项，辣椒的生长维护率相当低，也就是说后期不需要太多的照料。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。上文谈到“Astronauts on hoard planted the seeds in a microwave oven-sized growing container.(太空中的宇航员将种子种植在微波炉大小的容器中。) ”，下文谈到“such as lighting, watering and air circulation—were controlled by a crew based at the Kennedy Space Centre.(照明、浇水和空气循环等条件由肯尼迪航天中心的一名机组人员控制。)”从而推知应该是指上文提到的“容器”里面的条件，故it代指container“容器”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“NASA is working to find sustainable ways for astronauts to enjoy fresh foods,which will add key nutrients to their diets and improve their state of mind. (NASA 正 在 努 力 寻 找可 持 续 的 方式让宇航员享受新鲜食物，这将为他们的饮食添加至关重要的营养，并改善他们的精神状态)”可知，宇航员需要特殊的营养来保持最佳的精神状态。故选A项。

Write out our tasks and ideas.
In stories, heroes also have tasks, which they want to finish and ideas, which they see for themselves. So we can write out our tasks and ideas, not just for a project but for our life as well. With clear tasks and ideas, events in our life no longer seem to be separate events. ____18____ There's just a lot of value in having tasks and ideas.
____19____ When we know our strengths, we can use them fully. In difficult times, we can make our life easier by focusing on our strengths. It is even more important to identify weaknesses. All heroes have them. On their journey they face their weaknesses and learn from them.
Have small goals within a larger goal.
As we know, the hero's journey is not a one—time thing. It is a journey we are on in our entire life. ____20____ Our life's journey is ongoing and ever—changing. We should be realistic with our goals and to be kind to ourselves, especially during difficult times.

D. They become part of our larger stories.
E So have small goals that we can measure in some way.
F. We can do the same for ourselves and identify our purposes.

【答案】16. G 17. F 18. D 19. C 20. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述在困难时期的一些应对方法。
【16题详解】
上文“When we make ourselves heroes, we not only gain focus but also a sense of purpose.（当我们让自己成为英雄时，我们不仅获得了专注，还获得了一种使命感。）”说明把自己当成英雄会让我们获得专注和使命感。下文“For example, it can give us hope as stories in the books often do.（例如，它可以给我们希望，就像书中的故事经常讲的。）”举例说明把自己当英雄可以带给我们的帮助。G项“Making ourselves the heroes in our own stories helps us in many ways（让自己成为自己故事中的英雄在很多方面都能帮助我们。）”承上启下，说明把自己当英雄在很多方面都能帮助我们，符合语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“In stories, writers often give their hero, the main person in the story, a purpose.（在故事中，作者经常给他们的英雄——故事中的主要人物——赋予一个目的。）”说明故事中的主要人物都有一个要完成的目标。F项“We can do the same for ourselves and identify our purposes.（我们也可以为自己做同样的事情，确定我们的目的。）”说明我们也可以和故事中的英雄一样给自己确定目标，符合语境。故选F项。
【18题详解】
上文“With clear tasks and ideas, events in our life no longer seem to be separate events.（有了明确的使命和愿景，我们生活中的事件就不再是独立的事件。）”说明给生活中的事件确立使命和愿景的原因。D项“They become part of our larger stories.（它们成为我们更大故事的一部分。）”承接上文，说明每一件事有了使命和愿景，便不再独立，它们就会变成我们更大故事的一部分。故选D项。
【19题详解】
下文“When we know our strengths, we can use them fully…It is even more important to identify weaknesses. All heroes have them. On their journey they face their weaknesses and learn from them.（当我们知道自己的长处时，我们就可以充分利用它们。……更重要的是要找出弱点。所有的英雄都有。在他们的旅途中，他们面对自己的弱点并从中学习。）”说明该段讲述我们应该知道自己的优缺点的必要性。C项“Know our strengths and weaknesses.（了解我们的优点和缺点。）”放在段首，引出下文，说明我们应该知道自己的优缺点。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据“Have small goals within a larger goal.（在大目标中设定小目标。）”可知，该段主要讲述设立小目标的事。上文“As we know, the hero's journey is not a one—time thing. It is a journey we are on in our entire life.（我们知道，英雄的旅程不是一次性的事情。这是一段我们一生都要经历的旅程。）”给出前提，说明作为主角，会经历多次目标的设立。下文“Our life's journey is ongoing and ever—changing. We should be realistic with our goals and to be kind to ourselves, especially during difficult times.（我们的生命之旅是不断变化的。我们应该现实地对待我们的目标，善待自己，尤其是在困难的时候。）”说明生活是变化的，所以应该根据实际调整目标。E项“So have small goals that we can measure in some way.（所以要有一些我们可以衡量的小目标。）”承接上文，说明生命之旅不是一成不变的，应该设立小目标来应对实际情况。故选E项。

【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文主要指出在忠于自己的同时，应该也要学会去听取他人的意见，才能避免做错误的决定和认识到自己的不足，这样我们才能获得成长。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：“忠于自己”是一句常用的谚语，鼓励个人根据自己的信念做出决定。空处修饰形容词used，需用副词形式，故填commonly。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：然而，一个人应该始终考虑到其他人的想法和意见，因为一个局外人通常可以从不同的角度看待情况，提供不同的解决问题的方法。空前into为介词，后应接名词，take into consideration“考虑”是固定短语。故填consideration。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：然而，一个人应该始终考虑到其他人的想法和意见，因为一个局外人通常可以从不同的角度看待情况，提供不同的解决问题的方法。outsider“局外人”是可数名词，此处表泛指，outsider发音以元音音素开头，需用不定冠词an。故填an。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，一个人应该始终考虑到其他人的想法和意见，因为局外人通常可以从不同的角度看待情况，提供不同的解决问题的方法。分析句子结构，can often see为谓语动词，空处需填非谓语动词做伴随状语，offer和outsider是主谓关系，需填现在分词形式。故填offering。
40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：在古巴导弹危机期间，约翰·F·肯尼迪（JohnF.Kennedy）就如何处理局势征求了其他人的意见，最终做出了正确的决定。此处seek为此句唯一动词，故应做谓语，在根据时间状语“during the Cuban Missile Crisis ”可知，应该用一般过去时。故填sought。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：伊迪丝·沃顿“欢乐之家”的莉莉无法听取他人的建议，因此做出了糟糕的决定。此处应用形容词，做表语，再结合句意，此处表达“不能的”意思，应用unable。故填unable。

考查形容词。句意：就个人或职业决策征求他人的意见有助于避免做出错误的决策。此处修饰名词decisions，应用形容词。故填professional。
【43题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：尽管保持对我们每个人真正信仰的忠诚很重要，但我们应该对客观的意见保留一只耳朵。空处引导宾语从句，从句缺少宾语，且指代事物，需用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管保持对我们每个人真正信仰的忠诚很重要，但我们应该对客观的意见保留一只耳朵。固定搭配sb. be expected to do sth.“被期望去做某事”，不定式作主语补足语。故填to keep。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：如果没有别人的想法，我们会发现更难看到自己观点中的弱点，没有这种自我反省，我们永远无法成长。v.+ it+ adj.+ to do“……做某事是……”，it做形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式结构。故填it。

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。
The little car was crowded with kids: my brothers and sisters. We fought, debated and cried, making much noise. Being part of a big family was really starting to annoy me. For example, my brothers and sisters knocked on the bathroom door all the time. How I wanted to be the only child in my family.
As the car rolled down the small road, my mom said cheerfully, “The pool is three minutes away. You’ll have much time to swim.” Swimming was a peaceful activity. I could float on my back and look at the sky. I could pretend I was the only person in the world. Mom parked the car beside a small row of other cars. “One at a time,” she yelled before the car doors opened. Nobody listened. The car doors all flew open at once. After pushing, yelling and crying, we came out.
I quickly pulled off my jeans, T-shirt, socks and shoes, and finally put on my swimsuit. “Yeah!” I yelled as I jumped into the big natural pool with small stones on its floor. Cold water struck my face. I put my head under the water, which shot up my nose. After standing up again, I dropped backward into the water and began to float. The water sat around my cars, smooth and silent. The sun warmed my face.
I was like a leaf floating in a large pool peacefully. Everything was silent under water. For the moment, I felt I was the only child there. I didn’t have to share things like snacks with other kids. My stomach made a noise at the thought of food. Hadn’t Mom packed a huge bag of chips for our snack? I stood up to walk to shore.
Oh! Dark sandy water suddenly filled my mouth and covered my head. The rocky ground was gone; I was pushed into the deep, dark water. I tried to kick to the surface. As my face peeked out (微露出) from under the water, I took a deep breath. I tried to swim and leave the deep water. But it didn’t work. I only knew how to float.

【答案】One possible version:
The water closed over my head again. I struggled to move both my hands and legs. I thought about my mom. What would she do if she couldn’t find me? What about my brothers and sisters? When thinking, I didn’t know the noise produced by my hands and legs’ moving attracted my brothers and sisters’ attention. Before long, I felt the water moving around me. Something warm and strong touched my hand. Was it a shark in the pool? No, it was someone’s hand.
I could feel my body moving upward as a familiar hand started to pull me through the water. It pulled until I could feel the ground under my feet, and I came onto the shore. “We did it! ” yelled one of my brothers as I looked up and saw my mother holding my hand. I learned she and other kids made a human chain so that she could get me. I was speechless. Kids ran all around me, jumping, running and screaming. Maybe this great big crazy family wasn’t so crazy. After all, they were the human chain. Because of them, I was out of danger.

The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services”. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Linda, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I also wanted to try her kind of work. Therefore, with two friends, I flew to Caltutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets and passed out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
4. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who ________.
A. has a strong wish to be successful B. is willing to help those in need without pay
C. can afford to travel to different places D. has made a big fortune in life
5. Why did Linda choose to be a volunteer?
A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa. B. She had already had some experience.
C. She was asked by Mother Teresa. D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.
6. What is Linda’s new idea of being a volunteer?
A. Improving oneself through helping others. B. Working in Mother Teresa’s home.
C. Doing simple things to help the poor. D. Going abroad to help the sick.
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Be a Volunteer. B. Voluntary Life in India.
C. A Different Meaning of Volunteer. D. Inspiration from Mother Teresa.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了志愿者的精神及作者好友Linda对志愿者的新认识，作者的好友Linda被一个志愿者的行为而感动，从此也作为一个志愿者。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.”(“志愿者”一词在不同国家的含义可能略有不同，但它通常指“提供服务的人”)”及“Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.(志愿者不期望任何形式的报酬)”可知，志愿者是指一个愿意帮助那些有需要的人且不求报酬的人。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I also wanted to try her kind of work.(我被她助人的精神和她对每个人无尽的爱所感动，所以高中毕业后，我也想尝试她那种工作)”可推知，Linda被Mother Teresa的精神感动，以Mother Teresa为榜样，也想尝试她的工作。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据二段中的“Linda, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means.(然而，我的一个好朋友Linda最近从印度回来，她对志愿者的意义有了新的认识)”及第三、四段讲述的Tracy的亲身经历，尤其是文中最后一句“It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.(就在那时，我意识到我并不是来帮忙的，而是来学习和体验另一种文化，这有助于提高我自己对生活和世界的理解)”可推知，Linda对志愿者的新认识是志愿者通过帮助别人来提高自己。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.”(“志愿者”一词在不同国家的含义可能略有不同，但它通常指“提供服务的人”)”及下文对Linda对志愿者的新认识和经历的详细讲述可知，A选项“志愿者的一个不同意义”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。
C
Chinese people are, quite rightly, proud of their food. However, when foreigners like Britons and Americans think of Chinese food, their impression of it is different to what you might think.
Growing up in the UK, the Chinese food I was used to eating was food I now recognize as being from Guangdong. For example, a typical dish I would order would be pork in sweet and sour sauce, probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side. This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants(移民) to the UK have come from Guangdong. You can tell, because when most British people try to copy the sound of Chinese, they actually copy the sound of Guangdong people—hearing the real Putonghua is sometimes a shock to British people who have grown up thinking it sounds completely different!
British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing, though. Chinese-American chef Ken Hom has been on British TV for 30 years, and he told BBC Food: “Chinese food at the beginning of the 80s (in the UK) was sweet and sour pork, mainly. Most Brits had the unchangeable view of Chinese food. Now you are seeing more local Chinese food from Sichuan, Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Guangdong food.” Similarly, to most Americans, Chinese food doesn’t go too far past orange chicken and fortune cookies, but more Chinese local dishes are becoming successful, especially in big cities like New York.
Attitudes have not quite changed completely, though. Many foreigners who live in China will be familiar with this question from a relative back at home: “Have they given you dog yet?” Yes, perhaps because people still know too little about Chinese culture, many people believe that Chinese people love to eat dog meat. And of course, some people do eat dogs, which to Americans is like “eating a member of one’s family” according to Vision Times. Also, Chinese people eat many other things people in the West do not—chicken claws, duck heads and some animals’ organs.
But what do foreigners think when they come to China and taste real Chinese food? You’ll be glad to know that in my experience, the impressions have been very good.
8. Why are some British people surprised when they hear the real Putonghua?
A. Because it sounds too funny to believe.
B. Because it’s different from what they hear.
C. Because they all find it hard to learn.
D. Because nobody has been to China before.
9. What does chef Ken Hom think of the present Chinese food?
A. Popular. B. Tastier.
C. Richer D. Best.
10. How does Paragraph 3 develop?
A. By giving examples. B. By making inferences.
C. By analyzing. D. By reasoning.
11. What can we infer from “Have they given you dog yet?”?
A. Foreigners don’t like eating dog meat at all.
B. Chinese hate dogs so they often eat them.
C. Chinese eat everything including dog meat.
D. There are differences between cultures.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本篇是一篇说明文，介绍了国外对于中国食品的刻板印象有些已经变化，由于文化差异的缘故，有些刻板印象仍然存在。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants(移民) to the UK have come from Guangdong. You can tell, because when most British people try to copy the sound of Chinese, they actually copy the sound of Guangdong people—hearing the real Putonghua is sometimes a shock to British people who have grown up thinking it sounds completely different!”可知当一些英国人听到真正的普通话时，他们发现它和他们听到的不同，因为那些外国人接触的大多数中国移民来自广东，故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的"Chinese food at the beginning of the 80s (in the UK) was sweet and sour pork, mainly. Most Brits had the unchangeable view of Chinese food… Now you are seeing more local Chinese food from Sichuan, Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Guangdong food"，可知chef Ken Hom认为目前的中国食物应该是更丰富了，故选C。
【10题详解】
概括归纳题。第三段为了反映主题句“British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing”英国人对中国菜的态度可能正在改变，举出了Chinese-American chef Ken Hom等例子，因此本段通过举例来展开。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Attitudes have not quite changed completely, though”不过，人们的态度并没有完全改变，然后提到了许多外国人仍然会问从中国归来的人他们给你狗了吗，说明了本段的主题句，即文化差异仍然存在，外国人对于中国食物的印象并未完全改变。故选D。
D
In July 2021,astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) planted pepper seeds as part of an experiment to test which plants could be successfully grown in space. The peppers were harvested four months later, and the team celebrated with a party and taste test.
For astronauts living mostly off prepackaged foods for months at a time on the ISS,fresh and flavourful produce is welcomed. With long missions to the Moon and Mars in focus, NASA is working to find sustainable ways for astronauts to enjoy fresh foods, which will add key nutrients to their diets and improve their state of mind.
Astronauts have grown radishes, zinnias and a variety of lettuces on board the ISS before, but this is the first time they grew peppers, which posed a new challenge, reports Elizabeth Howell for Space. com.
Biologists at the Kennedy Space Centre spent two years picking the perfect pepper. They wanted to try peppers because they’re a great source of vitamins and nutrients. and they can be eaten raw or cooked.Plus,peppers are fairly low maintenance (保养) to grow.
In June,a carrier delivered supplies to the ISS along with a package of 48 pepper seeds. Astronauts on board planted the seeds in a microwave oven-sized growing container. The conditions in it—such as lighting, watering and air circulation—were controlled by a crew based at the Kennedy Space Centre. On board, the astronauts collected data and offered feedback on the flavour of the peppers.
“This is important because the food astronauts eat needs to be as good as the rest of their equipment,” LaShelle Spencer, a plant scientist at NASA. said over the summer. “To successfully send people to Mars and bring them back to Earth, we will not only require the most nutritious foods, but the best tasting ones as well.”
12. Why did astronauts attempt to plant pepper in space?
A. Only pepper can grow in space.
B. There were no enough food for astronauts.
C. Humans wanted to test which plants can grow in space.
D. Pepper can grow better than other plants.
13. What special benefits does pepper have compared with other plants?
A Its nutrients are the highest.
B. It needn’t too much later care.
C. It improves their state of mind most.
D. The vitamins in it are the most.
14. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 5?
A. Container. B. Package. C. Microwave. D. Seed.
15. What can we infer from the text?
A. Astronaut need special nutrition to keep the best state of mind.
B. The idea that pepper is grown in space is silly.
C. It is the carrier that is in charge of sending feedback on the peppers.
D. Pepper can’t be eaten cooked in space but it can be eaten raw.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要告诉读者宇航员在太空种植辣椒的原因和过程。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话“In July 2021,astronauts on hoard the International Space Station (ISS) planted pepper seeds as part of an experiment to test which plants could be successfully grown in space.( 2021年7月，国际空间站上的宇航员种植了辣椒种子，作为测试哪些植物可以在太空中成功种植的实验的一部分。)”可知，宇航员试图在太空种植辣椒是因为人类想测试哪些植物可以在太空中生长。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段二三句“They wanted to try peppers because they're a great source of vitamins and nutrients. and they can be eaten raw or cooked. Plus, peppers are fairly low maintenance (保养) to grow. (他们想尝试辣椒，因为辣椒富含维生素和营养。它们可以生吃或煮熟。此外，辣椒的生长维护成本相当低。)”，可知他们想尝试辣椒是因为辣椒富含维生素和营养，可以生吃或煮熟。但不是说含有的维生素最多，营养最高，排除D选项，辣椒的生长维护率相当低，也就是说后期不需要太多的照料。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。上文谈到“Astronauts on hoard planted the seeds in a microwave oven-sized growing container.(太空中的宇航员将种子种植在微波炉大小的容器中。) ”，下文谈到“such as lighting, watering and air circulation—were controlled by a crew based at the Kennedy Space Centre.(照明、浇水和空气循环等条件由肯尼迪航天中心的一名机组人员控制。)”从而推知应该是指上文提到的“容器”里面的条件，故it代指container“容器”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“NASA is working to find sustainable ways for astronauts to enjoy fresh foods,which will add key nutrients to their diets and improve their state of mind. (NASA 正 在 努 力 寻 找可 持 续 的 方式让宇航员享受新鲜食物，这将为他们的饮食添加至关重要的营养，并改善他们的精神状态)”可知，宇航员需要特殊的营养来保持最佳的精神状态。故选A项。

Write out our tasks and ideas.
In stories, heroes also have tasks, which they want to finish and ideas, which they see for themselves. So we can write out our tasks and ideas, not just for a project but for our life as well.

____19____ When we know our strengths, we can use them fully. In difficult times, we can make our life easier by focusing on our strengths. It is even more important to identify weaknesses. All heroes have them. On their journey they face their weaknesses and learn from them.
Have small goals within a larger goal.
As we know, the hero's journey is not a one—time thing. It is a journey we are on in our entire life. ____20____ Our life's journey is ongoing and ever—changing. We should be realistic with our goals and to be kind to ourselves, especially during difficult times.

【17题详解】
上文“In stories, writers often give their hero, the main person in the story, a purpose.（在故事中，作者经常给他们的英雄——故事中的主要人物——赋予一个目的。）”说明故事中的主要人物都有一个要完成的目标。F项“We can do the same for ourselves and identify our purposes.（我们也可以为自己做同样的事情，确定我们的目的。）”说明我们也可以和故事中的英雄一样给自己确定目标，符合语境。故选F项。
【18题详解】
上文“With clear tasks and ideas, events in our life no longer seem to be separate events.（有了明确的使命和愿景，我们生活中的事件就不再是独立的事件。）”说明给生活中的事件确立使命和愿景的原因。D项“They become part of our larger stories.（它们成为我们更大故事的一部分。）”承接上文，说明每一件事有了使命和愿景，便不再独立，它们就会变成我们更大故事的一部分。故选D项。
【19题详解】
下文“When we know our strengths, we can use them fully…It is even more important to identify weaknesses. All heroes have them. On their journey they face their weaknesses and learn from them.（当我们知道自己的长处时，我们就可以充分利用它们。……更重要的是要找出弱点。所有的英雄都有。在他们的旅途中，他们面对自己的弱点并从中学习。）”说明该段讲述我们应该知道自己的优缺点的必要性。C项“Know our strengths and weaknesses.（了解我们的优点和缺点。）”放在段首，引出下文，说明我们应该知道自己的优缺点。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据“Have small goals within a larger goal.（在大目标中设定小目标。）”可知，该段主要讲述设立小目标的事。上文“As we know, the hero's journey is not a one—time thing. It is a journey we are on in our entire life.（我们知道，英雄的旅程不是一次性的事情。这是一段我们一生都要经历的旅程。）”给出前提，说明作为主角，会经历多次目标的设立。下文“Our life's journey is ongoing and ever—changing. We should be realistic with our goals and to be kind to ourselves, especially during difficult times.（我们的生命之旅是不断变化的。我们应该现实地对待我们的目标，善待自己，尤其是在困难的时候。）”说明生活是变化的，所以应该根据实际调整目标。E项“So have small goals that we can measure in some way.（所以要有一些我们可以衡量的小目标。）”承接上文，说明生命之旅不是一成不变的，应该设立小目标来应对实际情况。故选E项。

The little car was crowded with kids: my brothers and sisters. We fought, debated and cried, making much noise. Being part of a big family was really starting to annoy me. For example, my brothers and sisters knocked on the bathroom door all the time. How I wanted to be the only child in my family.
As the car rolled down the small road, my mom said cheerfully, “The pool is three minutes away. You’ll have much time to swim.” Swimming was a peaceful activity. I could float on my back and look at the sky. I could pretend I was the only person in the world. Mom parked the car beside a small row of other cars. “One at a time,” she yelled before the car doors opened. Nobody listened. The car doors all flew open at once. After pushing, yelling and crying, we came out.
I quickly pulled off my jeans, T-shirt, socks and shoes, and finally put on my swimsuit. “Yeah!” I yelled as I jumped into the big natural pool with small stones on its floor. Cold water struck my face. I put my head under the water, which shot up my nose. After standing up again, I dropped backward into the water and began to float. The water sat around my cars, smooth and silent. The sun warmed my face.
I was like a leaf floating in a large pool peacefully. Everything was silent under water. For the moment, I felt I was the only child there. I didn’t have to share things like snacks with other kids. My stomach made a noise at the thought of food. Hadn’t Mom packed a huge bag of chips for our snack? I stood up to walk to shore.
Oh! Dark sandy water suddenly filled my mouth and covered my head. The rocky ground was gone; I was pushed into the deep, dark water. I tried to kick to the surface. As my face peeked out (微露出) from under the water, I took a deep breath. I tried to swim and leave the deep water. But it didn’t work. I only knew how to float.

【答案】One possible version:
The water closed over my head again. I struggled to move both my hands and legs. I thought about my mom. What would she do if she couldn’t find me? What about my brothers and sisters? When thinking, I didn’t know the noise produced by my hands and legs’ moving attracted my brothers and sisters’ attention. Before long, I felt the water moving around me. Something warm and strong touched my hand. Was it a shark in the pool? No, it was someone’s hand.
I could feel my body moving upward as a familiar hand started to pull me through the water. It pulled until I could feel the ground under my feet, and I came onto the shore. “We did it! ” yelled one of my brothers as I looked up and saw my mother holding my hand. I learned she and other kids made a human chain so that she could get me. I was speechless. Kids ran all around me, jumping, running and screaming. Maybe this great big crazy family wasn’t so crazy. After all, they were the human chain. Because of them, I was out of danger.
