第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Deserts are dry ecosystems that receive less than 250 millimetres of rainfall a year on average. Here are the world’s several big deserts.
Antarctic Desert
Antarctica is, on average, the coldest, windiest and driest of all the world’s continents. With an average annual rainfall of just 166 millimetres along the coastal regions and even less farther inland, it meets the standard of a desert. The continent has only plants that can live in a region so cold and dry.
Australian Desert
The Australian desert consists of ten interlinked smaller deserts. Together, they cover 18 percent of the mainland and contribute to making Australia the world’s second driest continent. The deserts are far from deserted, populated by native animals like kangaroos.
Arabian Desert
The Arabian Desert covers the entire Arabian Peninsula and contains the Rub’al-Khali, one of the world’s largest continuous bodies of sand. Bedouins, the native people, have crossed these sands for centuries, driving sheep, cattle, camels and goats into the desert during the rainy winter season and moving back toward farmland during the dry summer months.
Kalahari Desert
Strictly speaking, the Kalahari doesn’t meet the standard of a desert as its wettest regions can receive more than 500 millimetres of rain in very wet years. However, it remains extremely dry. Rain filters(渗入)rapidly through the vast expanses of sand, leaving nothing on the surface. The evaporation (蒸发) rate is twice as great as the rainfall in the southwestern half of the Kalahari. The desert is home to several important national parks and reserves, providing shelters for various species.
21. Which desert is made up of smaller deserts?
A. Antarctic Desert. B. Australian Desert. C. Arabian Desert. D. Kalahari Desert.
22. What do we know about Bedouins?
A. They are on the move. B. They are good at growing plants.
C. They come from Australia. D. They benefit from local tourism.
23. What is special about Kalahari Desert?
A. It has enough rainfalls. B. It covers a big area C. It is poorly protected. D. It dries up quickly.
【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沙漠是干旱的生态系统，每年平均降雨量不足250毫米。文章重点介绍了世界上的三个大沙漠。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Australian Desert中“The Australian desert consists of ten interlinked smaller deserts.”（澳大利亚沙漠由十个相互联系的小沙漠组成。）可知，澳大利亚沙漠是由更小的沙漠组成的。故选B项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Arabian Desert中“Bedouins, the native people, have crossed these sands for centuries, driving sheep, cattle, camels and goats into the desert during the rainy winter season and moving back toward farmland during the dry summer months.”（当地居民Bedouins人几个世纪以来一直穿越这些沙漠，在多雨的冬季把绵羊、牛、骆驼和山羊赶进沙漠，在干燥的夏季回到农田。）可知，Bedouins一直都在移动中。故选A项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Kalahari Desert中“However, it remains extremely dry. Rain filters rapidly through the vast expanses of sand, leaving nothing on the surface. The evaporation rate is twice as great as the rainfall in the southwestern half of the Kalahari.”（然而，它仍然非常干燥。雨水迅速地冲刷着广阔的沙土，在沙土表面上什么也没有留下。蒸发速率是喀拉哈里西南半部降雨量的两倍。）可知，卡拉哈里沙漠的特别之处是它干的特别快。故选D项。
B
I have always had pets. My first animal friends were guinea pigs. And then I tried my best to persuade my parents to get a dog. For some reason they did not seem to believe I would walk the dog three times a day, no matter how hard I tried.
Then my mother said a friend’s cat had had kittens and we could go and get one. At first I was disappointed, but with time I learned to love our cat so much I have had cats ever since.
I just have to remember to bolt everything into place. If I don’t, things fly (they seem to get airborne when cats are around —the more expensive an object is, the more it seems to enjoy flying).
Also, watering plants is no problem. During the years all the plants have disappeared except the cactuses (仙人掌). They don’t seem to interest cats much. Nor do they need much water. It would be nice to get flowers, but I do advise against anyone bringing them to me. No matter what flower — it is considered a kitty snack.
Changing furniture is nice too. Cats help in letting us know when it is time to change the sofa. Either when the fabric starts to look like Einstein’s hair that has been combed with cats’ paws (爪子), or when no amount of vacuuming (用吸尘器打扫) helps in revealing the original color of the couch, thanks to the generous donation of cat hair. A soft sofa is nice, sure, but it sort of gets a bit embarrassing when, all our guests leave the house with fur-trousers.
I could go on and on to tell you more interesting stories between us next time!
24. Why did the author’s parents turn him down when he wanted to have a dog?
A. They didn’t favour dogs. B. They didn’t think he could attend dogs well.
C. They had already had a pet. D. They thought dogs might mess the house up.
25. Which of the following can explain “bolt everything into place” underlined in paragraph 3?
A. Keep everything fastened. B. Keep everything organized.
C. Have everything prepared. D. Have everything repaired.
26. What can we infer about the plants from paragraph 4?
A. They are replaced by new ones. B. They are sent to the guests.
C. They are mostly eaten by the cats. D. They are frequently watered.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To complain about his cats. B. To share fun experiences of petting cats.
C. To compare his different pets. D. To introduce his skills for keeping pets.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要分享了作者养小猫的一些趣事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For some reason they did not seem to believe I would walk the dog three times a day, no matter how hard I tried.(出于某种原因，他们似乎不相信我会每天遛狗三次，无论我多么努力。)”可知，作者的父母担心作者不会每天遛狗三次，也就是说，父母是担心他不会好好照顾宠物狗。故选B项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语后的“If I don’t, things fly (they seem to get airborne when cats are around — the more expensive an object is, the more it seems to enjoy flying).(如果我不这样做，东西就会飞起来（当有小猫在的时候，它们似乎就会飞起来——越贵的东西似乎越喜欢飞）。)”可知，划线句子前面的内容是说“我必须要记得做划线短语那件事”，如果没记住做这件事，家里的一切就会“飞”起来，结合选项可知，所以为了防止一切不会“飞”起来，只能“把一切都固定好”符合逻辑。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“No matter what flower — it is considered a kitty snack.(不管什么花 —— 它都被认为是小猫零食)”可知，小猫会把所有的花都当成零食，由此可推断，小猫会把这些花当零食吃掉。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I could go on and on to tell you more interesting stories between us next time!(下次我可以继续告诉你我们之间更多有趣的故事！)”可知，作者说下次继续讲述与小猫在一起的趣事，由此推断，本文写作的目的是分享与小猫在一起的趣事。故选B项。
C
Accompanied by typical Jin opera music, a red-faced performer with a long beard showed up at the hall of a high school in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. All the students in the hall stood up and craned (伸长) their necks to get a better look. In their eyes, Jin opera was something from the past.
They are not alone. It goes without saying that kids nowadays are much more familiar with popular music than traditional opera, which is why performing artist Wu Lingyun, together with his colleagues, goes to campuses to promote the art.
Wu Lingyun is best known for his role as Guan Gong, a general during the late Han Dynasty period.
Wu began playing the role in 1985, at the age of 21, and has been associated with it ever since.
Wu was significantly influenced by his parents, both of whom are also famous Jin opera performers. With a natural talent for performing and great effort, Wu was soon recognized by audiences and later awarded the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award in 2000, the highest award for Chinese drama performing arts.
Given Wu’s considerable fame, one might think he would now prefer to enjoy a life of leisure. However, this is far from the case. Deep down, Wu has a big dream. He pictures a growing future for Jin opera. Wu expected more chances for more people to get to know about the art, hoping Jin opera could become a worldwide art.
Wu has also made some changes to the traditional art to bring it up-to-date.“Jin opera should keep pace with the times if we want to bring it back to life and get the young generation to accept it,“ he says. “An art without life can never survive”“
28. How did the students react to the performance at the hall?
A. They became bored. B. They got disappointed. C. They felt curious. D. They looked casual
29. What do we know about Wu Lingyun?
A. He got a top award in 2000. B. He started his performance in his teens.
C. He now enjoys a leisure life. D. He became famous because of his parents.
30. What does Wu Lingyun expect of Jin opera?
A. It’ll be studied as a college major. B. It’ll be officially recognized.
C. It’ll have an easier performing form. D. It’ll be popular across the world.
31. Which of the following best describes Wu Lingyun?
A. Humorous. B. Kind-minded. C. Cautious. D. Devoted.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是晋剧表演艺术家武凌云的艺术成就以及他推广晋剧成为一门世界艺术的决心。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“All the students in the hall stood up and craned (伸长) their necks to get a better look. In their eyes, Jin opera was something from the past.(大厅里的所有学生都站了起来，伸长了脖子，以便看得更清楚。在他们看来，晋剧是过去的东西。)”可知，孩子们伸长脖子一探究竟，由此可知，孩子们对这项艺术表演充满了好奇。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“With a natural talent for performing and great effort, Wu was soon recognized by audiences and later awarded the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award in 2000, the highest award for Chinese drama performing arts.(凭借天生的表演天赋和巨大的努力，武凌云很快得到了观众的认可，后来在2000年获得了中国戏剧梅花奖，这是中国戏剧表演艺术的最高奖项。)”可知，武凌云在2020年获得了中国戏剧界最高荣誉——中国戏剧梅花奖。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Wu expected more chances for more people to get to know about the art, hoping Jin opera could become a worldwide art.(武凌云希望有更多的机会让更多的人了解晋剧艺术，希望金戏能够成为一门世界性的艺术。)”可知，武凌云希望更多人知道这门艺术，希望晋剧成为一门世界艺术，由此可知，他希望晋剧在全世界流行受欢迎。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Given Wu’s considerable fame, one might think he would now prefer to enjoy a life of leisure. However, this is far from the case. Deep down, Wu has a big dream. He pictures a growing future for Jin opera. Wu expected more chances for more people to get to know about the art, hoping Jin opera could become a worldwide art. (鉴于武凌云的名气很大，人们可能会认为他现在更愿意享受悠闲的生活。然而，情况远非如此。在内心深处，武凌云有一个远大的梦想。他描绘了晋剧的成长未来。武凌云希望有更多的机会让更多的人了解晋剧艺术，希望晋剧能够成为一门世界性的艺术。)”以及尾段中的“Wu has also made some changes to the traditional art to bring it up-to-date.(吴还对传统艺术进行了一些修改，使其与时俱进。)”可知，武凌云在取得一定成就后还要将晋剧推广到世界，而且还对晋剧做出改变，使其与时俱进，由此可推断，武凌云是一个对自己的事业全身心投入的人。故选D项。
D
To give grasshoppers (蚱蜢) some credit -- jumping across yards and between branches takes a lot more expertise than it might appear. There are incredibly tiny factors to consider, such as the resistance in launch surface, as well as desired distance, speed, and landing.
Most jumping robots can’t compete with the insect, as their jumps are limited to starting atop extremely rigid surfaces. But a new bouncing robot developed by researchers in Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering is crossing those barriers, and showing promise for how autonomous devices could operate in the future.
A team of scientists led by professor of mechanical engineering Sarah Bergbreiter recently optimized a robot’s latch mechanisms (弹簧机制) used to boost it upward. Previously, these latches were primarily thought of as simple “on/off switches that enabled the release of stored energy. However, Bergbreiter and her team employed mathematical modeling to illustrate that these latches both were capable of controlling energy output, as well as controlling the transfer (传递) of energy between the jumper and the launch surface.
To test their work, the team positioned a small jumping robot atop a tree branch and recorded the precise energy transfers in its jumps’ first moments.“We found that the latch can not only mediate (调节)energy output but can also mediate energy transfer between the jumper and the environment that it is jumping from,” said Bergbreiter.
Now that researchers better understand the interactions at play in the opening moments of jumping, they can now begin working on ways to integrate this into future robotic designs. “It has been nearly impossible to design controlled insect-sized robots because they are launched in just milliseconds,“ explained Bergbreiter. “Now, we have more control over whether our robots are jumping up one foot or three. It’s really fascinating that the latch -- something that we already need in our robots -- can be used to control outputs that we couldn’t have controlled before.”
32. What does the author want to show about the new robot by mentioning grasshoppers?
A. It comes with technical difficulties. B. It can beat the insect easily.
C. It is the first one designed for jumping. D. It is shaped like the tiny creature.
33. What advantage do latches designed by Bergbreiter have over the traditional ones?
A. They are better positioned in robots. B. They help release more energy at a time.
C. They work in extreme environments. D. They have more than a single function.
34. What does Bergbreiter think of their work?
A. It has changed their research direction. B. It inspires new applications of robots.
C. It brings them a sense of achievement. D. It will make robots smaller and lighter.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new model for future robots. B. A step forward in robot design.
C. Jumping robots inspired by grasshoppers. D. Efforts to develop insect-sized robots.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科研团队通过优化机器人的弹簧机制，使机器人的弹跳能力获得极大的改良。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“There are incredibly tiny factors to consider, such as the resistance in launch surface, as well as desired distance, speed, and landing.”（还有一些非常微小的因素需要考虑，比如发射表面的阻力，以及理想的距离、速度和着陆。）及第二段“Most jumping robots can’t compete with the insect, as their jumps are limited to starting atop extremely rigid surfaces. But a new bouncing robot developed by researchers in Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering is crossing those barriers, and showing promise for how autonomous devices could operate in the future.”（大多数跳跃机器人无法与该昆虫竞争，因为它们的跳跃仅限于从极其坚硬的表面开始。但卡内基梅隆大学工程学院的研究人员开发的一种新型弹跳机器人正在跨越这些障碍，并显示出未来自主设备如何运行的前景。）可知，大多数弹跳机器人在弹跳能力上都无法与蚱蜢匹敌，但新型弹跳机器人正在克服这些障碍，提高弹跳能力，故作者提及蚱蜢卓越的弹跳力是为了展示新型弹跳机器人想要获得类似的弹跳能力需要克服重重技术难关。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句第三句“Previously, these latches were primarily thought of as simple “on/off switches that enabled the release of stored energy. However, Bergbreiter and her team employed mathematical modeling to illustrate that these latches both were capable of controlling energy output, as well as controlling the transfer (传递) of energy between the jumper and the launch surface.”（以前，这些弹簧主要被认为是简单的“开启/关闭开关，可以释放储存的能量”。然而，Bergbreiter和她的团队使用数学建模来说明，这些弹簧既能能控制能量输出，也能控制能量在跳线和发射表面之间的传递。）可知，和之前的弹簧机制比较，Bergbreiter的团队设计的弹簧功能更多。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Now, we have more control over whether our robots are jumping up one foot or three. It’s really fascinating that the latch -- something that we already need in our robots -- can be used to control outputs that we couldn’t have controlled before.”（现在，我们可以更好地控制我们的机器人是跳一英尺还是三英尺。这真的很吸引人，弹簧——我们在机器人上已经需要的东西——可以用来控制我们以前无法控制的输出。）可知，Bergbreiter认为他们的工作取得了重大的突破，给他们带来了成就感。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“But a new bouncing robot developed by researchers in Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering is crossing those barriers, and showing promise for how autonomous devices could operate in the future.”（但卡内基梅隆大学工程学院的研究人员开发的一种新型弹跳机器人正在跨越这些障碍，并显示出未来自主设备如何运行的前景。）及第三段第一句“A team of scientists led by professor of mechanical engineering Sarah Bergbreiter recently optimized a robot’s latch mechanisms (弹簧机制) used to boost it upward.”（由机械工程教授Sarah Bergbreiter领导的科学家团队最近优化了用于推动机器人向上跳跃的弹簧机制。）并结合下文弹簧机制优化后的成效可知，本文主要介绍了通过优化机器人的弹簧机制，机器人设计向前迈进了一步。故选B项。

How I Improved My Life in 2022
By the turn of 2022, I thought I was living mindfully and rather sustainably. I had been composting(做堆肥) fruit and vegetable leftovers, and repairing my own clothes. But as life was easing back into normal, certain aspects made me feel uncomfortable, like the amount of plastic being thrown away. ____36____. These feelings made me realize there was still room for improvement and I was up for it throughout the year.
Take up walking. The biggest change this year for me has been to take up walking wholeheartedly. Having spent so much time indoors, I wanted to have a gentle form of exercise where I could enjoy the outdoors. I started walking.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是东伦敦Kingsford Community School校长Joan Deslandes对学习中文的看法。
【56题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：学习中国及其语言可以开阔孩子们的视野，改善他们的职业前景。they和career prospects之间是所属关系，因此空格处用形容词性物主代词their修饰career prospects，故填their。
【57题详解】

【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：共有近500名英国学生参加了今年早些时候在网上举行的两场比赛。participated是谓语，空格处用非谓语动词，competitions和hold之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填held。
【59题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：他们在颁奖典礼上穿插了中国歌曲、传统舞蹈和乐器表演。由Chinese songs, traditional dances and musical instruments可知，空格处用名词的复数，故填performances。

考查定语从句。句意：Joan说:“这些只是赢得比赛的少数学生，但在他们的背后，有许多学校教授中文，以及在这个国家把中文作为一种语言选择的热情。”空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词students是人，因此空格处用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Joan说:“这些只是赢得比赛的少数学生，但在他们的背后，有许多学校教授中文，以及在这个国家把中文作为一种语言选择的热情。”are是谓语，空格处用非谓语动词，schools和teach之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，故填teaching。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意：Joan说:“这些只是赢得比赛的少数学生，但在他们的背后，有许多学校教授中文，以及在这个国家把中文作为一种语言选择的热情。”option是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，language是辅音音素开头，不定冠词用a，故填a。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意：中国在全球视野中发挥着重要作用。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词vision，globe的形容词是global，意为“全球的”，故填global。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：我们需要为孩子们提供各种技能，让他们在成长过程中保持联系。equip sb. with sth.是固定短语，意为“使某人装备某物”，因此空格处用介词with，故填with。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意：就就业前景而言，会中文并能与中国人有效沟通，只会让这个国家的年轻人受益。空格处用副词efficiently修饰动词communicate，efficiently意为“有效地”，故填efficiently。

67. 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。
During the past two years, I felt down from time to time, especially when I stayed indoors. To get out of the house, I decided to teach myself how to skate again even though it had been more than 30 years since I had been on the ice. Little did I know, I would also be teaching myself how to rise to the challenges I’d soon face in life, too.
I dug out my old figure skates, but they didn’t work. So I ordered a new pair of skates and found a place to get them sharpened. I assumed it would be easy to pick up from where I had left off, so I reserved our ice time. Armed and ready, I was awake before the online reservation system opened to secure spots at my neighborhood rink (滑冰场). I even convinced my son to join me for my first go.
Filled with fear, I estimated there was a five-centimeter drop down from the walking ledge (台子) to the ice and nothing nearby to grab onto in order to keep my balance. My son was already circling around but skated over to offer his arm for support.
I climbed down, one skate at a time and my leg shook slightly when both feet landed on the ice.
“Can I hang onto you for the first few minutes?” I asked my son nervously. I took baby steps but I had forgotten how to glide (滑行). Eager to see how far I could go, I let go of my son’s arm.
With great efforts, I began to do slow laps, inching ahead with my skates and staying close to the rink boards.
I avoided falling on my first attempt but as I walked home silently with my son, I wondered whether I should quit. Fear had held me back and I hadn’t given it my all.
“You used to skate so well, what happened?” asked my son.
“Life got in the way.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But I did not cancel my future reserved ice times.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After some progress was made, I decided to sign up for adult learn-to skate lessons the following winter.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 But I did not cancel my future reserved ice times. I believed that through continuous practice, I could skate very well, just like before. In the following days, I practiced at the ice rink every day. I experienced countless falls. I felt frustrated and wanted to give up. But in the end, I convinced myself and persisted. My son always encouraged me. He believed that I could do it. And he said that I was his pride. As time went by, I got better and better at skating.
After some progress was made, I decided to sign up for adult learn-to skate lessons the following winter. I wanted to continue challenging myself. I wanted to enrich my life. I wanted to skate freely and made my mind and soul active. The same goes for facing challenges in life. I’d soon face many challenges in life. But I should not feel discouraged and afraid. I should actively and bravely face it. I believe that as long as I take the first step and make continuous efforts, I will eventually overcome all difficulties.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了作者在过去的两年里不时感到沮丧，尤其是待在室内的时候，她为自己生活中即将面临的挑战担忧，于是，她决定重拾以前滑冰的爱好。但由于很久没有滑冰，她的技术生疏，滑的并不好，为此作者感到沮丧和恐惧，不知道自己是否应该放弃。最终，作者选择坚持下去。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“但我并没有取消我预定的未来的冰上时间。”可知，第一段可描写作者是如何克服困难，练习滑冰的。
②由第二段首句内容“在取得一些进展后，我决定在第二年冬天报名参加成人滑冰学习课程。”可知，第二段可描写作者在滑冰取得进步后，心态上的变化和感悟。
2.续写线索：不断失败——继续坚持——取得进步——心态变化——作者的感悟

行为类
①相信：believe/trust
②说服：convince/persuade

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Deserts are dry ecosystems that receive less than 250 millimetres of rainfall a year on average. Here are the world’s several big deserts.
Antarctic Desert
Antarctica is, on average, the coldest, windiest and driest of all the world’s continents. With an average annual rainfall of just 166 millimetres along the coastal regions and even less farther inland, it meets the standard of a desert. The continent has only plants that can live in a region so cold and dry.
Australian Desert
The Australian desert consists of ten interlinked smaller deserts. Together, they cover 18 percent of the mainland and contribute to making Australia the world’s second driest continent. The deserts are far from deserted, populated by native animals like kangaroos.
Arabian Desert
The Arabian Desert covers the entire Arabian Peninsula and contains the Rub’al-Khali, one of the world’s largest continuous bodies of sand. Bedouins, the native people, have crossed these sands for centuries, driving sheep, cattle, camels and goats into the desert during the rainy winter season and moving back toward farmland during the dry summer months.
Kalahari Desert
Strictly speaking, the Kalahari doesn’t meet the standard of a desert as its wettest regions can receive more than 500 millimetres of rain in very wet years. However, it remains extremely dry. Rain filters(渗入)rapidly through the vast expanses of sand, leaving nothing on the surface. The evaporation (蒸发) rate is twice as great as the rainfall in the southwestern half of the Kalahari. The desert is home to several important national parks and reserves, providing shelters for various species.
21. Which desert is made up of smaller deserts?
A. Antarctic Desert. B. Australian Desert. C. Arabian Desert. D. Kalahari Desert.
22. What do we know about Bedouins?
A. They are on the move. B. They are good at growing plants.
C. They come from Australia. D. They benefit from local tourism.
23. What is special about Kalahari Desert?
A. It has enough rainfalls. B. It covers a big area C. It is poorly protected. D. It dries up quickly.
【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沙漠是干旱的生态系统，每年平均降雨量不足250毫米。文章重点介绍了世界上的三个大沙漠。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Australian Desert中“The Australian desert consists of ten interlinked smaller deserts.”（澳大利亚沙漠由十个相互联系的小沙漠组成。）可知，澳大利亚沙漠是由更小的沙漠组成的。故选B项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Arabian Desert中“Bedouins, the native people, have crossed these sands for centuries, driving sheep, cattle, camels and goats into the desert during the rainy winter season and moving back toward farmland during the dry summer months.”（当地居民Bedouins人几个世纪以来一直穿越这些沙漠，在多雨的冬季把绵羊、牛、骆驼和山羊赶进沙漠，在干燥的夏季回到农田。）可知，Bedouins一直都在移动中。故选A项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Kalahari Desert中“However, it remains extremely dry. Rain filters rapidly through the vast expanses of sand, leaving nothing on the surface. The evaporation rate is twice as great as the rainfall in the southwestern half of the Kalahari.”（然而，它仍然非常干燥。雨水迅速地冲刷着广阔的沙土，在沙土表面上什么也没有留下。蒸发速率是喀拉哈里西南半部降雨量的两倍。）可知，卡拉哈里沙漠的特别之处是它干的特别快。故选D项。
B
I have always had pets. My first animal friends were guinea pigs. And then I tried my best to persuade my parents to get a dog. For some reason they did not seem to believe I would walk the dog three times a day, no matter how hard I tried.
Then my mother said a friend’s cat had had kittens and we could go and get one. At first I was disappointed, but with time I learned to love our cat so much I have had cats ever since.
I just have to remember to bolt everything into place. If I don’t, things fly (they seem to get airborne when cats are around —the more expensive an object is, the more it seems to enjoy flying).
Also, watering plants is no problem. During the years all the plants have disappeared except the cactuses (仙人掌). They don’t seem to interest cats much. Nor do they need much water. It would be nice to get flowers, but I do advise against anyone bringing them to me. No matter what flower — it is considered a kitty snack.
Changing furniture is nice too. Cats help in letting us know when it is time to change the sofa. Either when the fabric starts to look like Einstein’s hair that has been combed with cats’ paws (爪子), or when no amount of vacuuming (用吸尘器打扫) helps in revealing the original color of the couch, thanks to the generous donation of cat hair. A soft sofa is nice, sure, but it sort of gets a bit embarrassing when, all our guests leave the house with fur-trousers.
I could go on and on to tell you more interesting stories between us next time!
24. Why did the author’s parents turn him down when he wanted to have a dog?
A. They didn’t favour dogs. B. They didn’t think he could attend dogs well.
C. They had already had a pet. D. They thought dogs might mess the house up.
25. Which of the following can explain “bolt everything into place” underlined in paragraph 3?
A. Keep everything fastened. B. Keep everything organized.
C. Have everything prepared. D. Have everything repaired.
26. What can we infer about the plants from paragraph 4?
A. They are replaced by new ones. B. They are sent to the guests.
C. They are mostly eaten by the cats. D. They are frequently watered.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To complain about his cats. B. To share fun experiences of petting cats.
C. To compare his different pets. D. To introduce his skills for keeping pets.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B

Accompanied by typical Jin opera music, a red-faced performer with a long beard showed up at the hall of a high school in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. All the students in the hall stood up and craned (伸长) their necks to get a better look. In their eyes, Jin opera was something from the past.
They are not alone. It goes without saying that kids nowadays are much more familiar with popular music than traditional opera, which is why performing artist Wu Lingyun, together with his colleagues, goes to campuses to promote the art.
Wu Lingyun is best known for his role as Guan Gong, a general during the late Han Dynasty period.
Wu began playing the role in 1985, at the age of 21, and has been associated with it ever since.
Wu was significantly influenced by his parents, both of whom are also famous Jin opera performers. With a natural talent for performing and great effort, Wu was soon recognized by audiences and later awarded the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award in 2000, the highest award for Chinese drama performing arts.
Given Wu’s considerable fame, one might think he would now prefer to enjoy a life of leisure. However, this is far from the case. Deep down, Wu has a big dream. He pictures a growing future for Jin opera. Wu expected more chances for more people to get to know about the art, hoping Jin opera could become a worldwide art.
Wu has also made some changes to the traditional art to bring it up-to-date.“Jin opera should keep pace with the times if we want to bring it back to life and get the young generation to accept it,“ he says. “An art without life can never survive”“
28. How did the students react to the performance at the hall?
A. They became bored. B. They got disappointed. C. They felt curious. D. They looked casual
29. What do we know about Wu Lingyun?
A. He got a top award in 2000. B. He started his performance in his teens.
C. He now enjoys a leisure life. D. He became famous because of his parents.
30. What does Wu Lingyun expect of Jin opera?
A. It’ll be studied as a college major. B. It’ll be officially recognized.
C. It’ll have an easier performing form. D. It’ll be popular across the world.
31. Which of the following best describes Wu Lingyun?
A. Humorous. B. Kind-minded. C. Cautious. D. Devoted.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“With a natural talent for performing and great effort, Wu was soon recognized by audiences and later awarded the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award in 2000, the highest award for Chinese drama performing arts.(凭借天生的表演天赋和巨大的努力，武凌云很快得到了观众的认可，后来在2000年获得了中国戏剧梅花奖，这是中国戏剧表演艺术的最高奖项。)”可知，武凌云在2020年获得了中国戏剧界最高荣誉——中国戏剧梅花奖。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Wu expected more chances for more people to get to know about the art, hoping Jin opera could become a worldwide art.(武凌云希望有更多的机会让更多的人了解晋剧艺术，希望金戏能够成为一门世界性的艺术。)”可知，武凌云希望更多人知道这门艺术，希望晋剧成为一门世界艺术，由此可知，他希望晋剧在全世界流行受欢迎。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Given Wu’s considerable fame, one might think he would now prefer to enjoy a life of leisure. However, this is far from the case. Deep down, Wu has a big dream. He pictures a growing future for Jin opera. Wu expected more chances for more people to get to know about the art, hoping Jin opera could become a worldwide art. (鉴于武凌云的名气很大，人们可能会认为他现在更愿意享受悠闲的生活。然而，情况远非如此。在内心深处，武凌云有一个远大的梦想。他描绘了晋剧的成长未来。武凌云希望有更多的机会让更多的人了解晋剧艺术，希望晋剧能够成为一门世界性的艺术。)”以及尾段中的“Wu has also made some changes to the traditional art to bring it up-to-date.(吴还对传统艺术进行了一些修改，使其与时俱进。)”可知，武凌云在取得一定成就后还要将晋剧推广到世界，而且还对晋剧做出改变，使其与时俱进，由此可推断，武凌云是一个对自己的事业全身心投入的人。故选D项。

To give grasshoppers (蚱蜢) some credit -- jumping across yards and between branches takes a lot more expertise than it might appear. There are incredibly tiny factors to consider, such as the resistance in launch surface, as well as desired distance, speed, and landing.
Most jumping robots can’t compete with the insect, as their jumps are limited to starting atop extremely rigid surfaces. But a new bouncing robot developed by researchers in Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering is crossing those barriers, and showing promise for how autonomous devices could operate in the future.
A team of scientists led by professor of mechanical engineering Sarah Bergbreiter recently optimized a robot’s latch mechanisms (弹簧机制) used to boost it upward. Previously, these latches were primarily thought of as simple “on/off switches that enabled the release of stored energy. However, Bergbreiter and her team employed mathematical modeling to illustrate that these latches both were capable of controlling energy output, as well as controlling the transfer (传递) of energy between the jumper and the launch surface.
To test their work, the team positioned a small jumping robot atop a tree branch and recorded the precise energy transfers in its jumps’ first moments.“We found that the latch can not only mediate (调节)energy output but can also mediate energy transfer between the jumper and the environment that it is jumping from,” said Bergbreiter.
Now that researchers better understand the interactions at play in the opening moments of jumping, they can now begin working on ways to integrate this into future robotic designs. “It has been nearly impossible to design controlled insect-sized robots because they are launched in just milliseconds,“ explained Bergbreiter. “Now, we have more control over whether our robots are jumping up one foot or three. It’s really fascinating that the latch -- something that we already need in our robots -- can be used to control outputs that we couldn’t have controlled before.”
32. What does the author want to show about the new robot by mentioning grasshoppers?
A. It comes with technical difficulties. B. It can beat the insect easily.
C. It is the first one designed for jumping. D. It is shaped like the tiny creature.
33. What advantage do latches designed by Bergbreiter have over the traditional ones?
A. They are better positioned in robots. B. They help release more energy at a time.
C. They work in extreme environments. D. They have more than a single function.
34. What does Bergbreiter think of their work?
A. It has changed their research direction. B. It inspires new applications of robots.
C. It brings them a sense of achievement. D. It will make robots smaller and lighter.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new model for future robots. B. A step forward in robot design.
C. Jumping robots inspired by grasshoppers. D. Efforts to develop insect-sized robots.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科研团队通过优化机器人的弹簧机制，使机器人的弹跳能力获得极大的改良。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“There are incredibly tiny factors to consider, such as the resistance in launch surface, as well as desired distance, speed, and landing.”（还有一些非常微小的因素需要考虑，比如发射表面的阻力，以及理想的距离、速度和着陆。）及第二段“Most jumping robots can’t compete with the insect, as their jumps are limited to starting atop extremely rigid surfaces. But a new bouncing robot developed by researchers in Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering is crossing those barriers, and showing promise for how autonomous devices could operate in the future.”（大多数跳跃机器人无法与该昆虫竞争，因为它们的跳跃仅限于从极其坚硬的表面开始。但卡内基梅隆大学工程学院的研究人员开发的一种新型弹跳机器人正在跨越这些障碍，并显示出未来自主设备如何运行的前景。）可知，大多数弹跳机器人在弹跳能力上都无法与蚱蜢匹敌，但新型弹跳机器人正在克服这些障碍，提高弹跳能力，故作者提及蚱蜢卓越的弹跳力是为了展示新型弹跳机器人想要获得类似的弹跳能力需要克服重重技术难关。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句第三句“Previously, these latches were primarily thought of as simple “on/off switches that enabled the release of stored energy. However, Bergbreiter and her team employed mathematical modeling to illustrate that these latches both were capable of controlling energy output, as well as controlling the transfer (传递) of energy between the jumper and the launch surface.”（以前，这些弹簧主要被认为是简单的“开启/关闭开关，可以释放储存的能量”。然而，Bergbreiter和她的团队使用数学建模来说明，这些弹簧既能能控制能量输出，也能控制能量在跳线和发射表面之间的传递。）可知，和之前的弹簧机制比较，Bergbreiter的团队设计的弹簧功能更多。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Now, we have more control over whether our robots are jumping up one foot or three. It’s really fascinating that the latch -- something that we already need in our robots -- can be used to control outputs that we couldn’t have controlled before.”（现在，我们可以更好地控制我们的机器人是跳一英尺还是三英尺。这真的很吸引人，弹簧——我们在机器人上已经需要的东西——可以用来控制我们以前无法控制的输出。）可知，Bergbreiter认为他们的工作取得了重大的突破，给他们带来了成就感。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“But a new bouncing robot developed by researchers in Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering is crossing those barriers, and showing promise for how autonomous devices could operate in the future.”（但卡内基梅隆大学工程学院的研究人员开发的一种新型弹跳机器人正在跨越这些障碍，并显示出未来自主设备如何运行的前景。）及第三段第一句“A team of scientists led by professor of mechanical engineering Sarah Bergbreiter recently optimized a robot’s latch mechanisms (弹簧机制) used to boost it upward.”（由机械工程教授Sarah Bergbreiter领导的科学家团队最近优化了用于推动机器人向上跳跃的弹簧机制。）并结合下文弹簧机制优化后的成效可知，本文主要介绍了通过优化机器人的弹簧机制，机器人设计向前迈进了一步。故选B项。

【56题详解】

67. 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。
During the past two years, I felt down from time to time, especially when I stayed indoors. To get out of the house, I decided to teach myself how to skate again even though it had been more than 30 years since I had been on the ice. Little did I know, I would also be teaching myself how to rise to the challenges I’d soon face in life, too.
I dug out my old figure skates, but they didn’t work. So I ordered a new pair of skates and found a place to get them sharpened. I assumed it would be easy to pick up from where I had left off, so I reserved our ice time. Armed and ready, I was awake before the online reservation system opened to secure spots at my neighborhood rink (滑冰场). I even convinced my son to join me for my first go.
Filled with fear, I estimated there was a five-centimeter drop down from the walking ledge (台子) to the ice and nothing nearby to grab onto in order to keep my balance. My son was already circling around but skated over to offer his arm for support.
I climbed down, one skate at a time and my leg shook slightly when both feet landed on the ice.
“Can I hang onto you for the first few minutes?” I asked my son nervously. I took baby steps but I had forgotten how to glide (滑行). Eager to see how far I could go, I let go of my son’s arm.
With great efforts, I began to do slow laps, inching ahead with my skates and staying close to the rink boards.
I avoided falling on my first attempt but as I walked home silently with my son, I wondered whether I should quit. Fear had held me back and I hadn’t given it my all.
“You used to skate so well, what happened?” asked my son.
“Life got in the way.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But I did not cancel my future reserved ice times.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After some progress was made, I decided to sign up for adult learn-to skate lessons the following winter.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 But I did not cancel my future reserved ice times. I believed that through continuous practice, I could skate very well, just like before. In the following days, I practiced at the ice rink every day. I experienced countless falls. I felt frustrated and wanted to give up. But in the end, I convinced myself and persisted. My son always encouraged me. He believed that I could do it. And he said that I was his pride. As time went by, I got better and better at skating.
After some progress was made, I decided to sign up for adult learn-to skate lessons the following winter. I wanted to continue challenging myself. I wanted to enrich my life. I wanted to skate freely and made my mind and soul active. The same goes for facing challenges in life. I’d soon face many challenges in life. But I should not feel discouraged and afraid. I should actively and bravely face it. I believe that as long as I take the first step and make continuous efforts, I will eventually overcome all difficulties.
