W: How do you find workers?
M: Mostly through the Internet. You get fast results that way, but you still have to interview people and find out if anyone can do the job. It takes time, and it takes me away from my work.

【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Why Choose Kings Camps部分第三段的“We welcome children from outside of the UK who will make friends here by communicating with kids from different backgrounds, but we do require that they at least understand English to make sure of their safety and that of others, and of course their enjoyment.(我们欢迎来自英国以外的孩子，他们可以在这里与来自不同背景的孩子交流，结交朋友，但我们确实要求他们至少懂英语，以确保他们和其他人的安全，当然也要确保他们的快乐)”可知，国际学生需要基本的英语能力。故选C。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Ryan has enjoyed every part. When we’ve asked about his day, he’s said it was “amazing and fantastic”.(瑞恩喜欢每一个部分。当我们问他这一天过得如何时，他说“太棒了”)”和最后一段的“My sweetheart made new friends, overcame swimming fears & came away more confident too!(我的爱人交了新朋友，克服了游泳的恐惧，也更加自信了！)”里的名字Ryan和称呼“My sweetheart”以及文章开头第一段的“We provide sports camps and summer camps at over 40 places across the UK for children aged 4-17.(我们为4-17岁的儿童在英国的40多个地方提供运动营地和夏令营)”可知，这个营地是针对孩子的。由此推知，这两段评论是家长做出的。故选A。

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do, mine. Her name was Mrs. White.
I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! The scrawl (潦草的笔迹) in that worried my mother, so one day when she met Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes. Why she never red-pencilled in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
Mrs. White said, “The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait...” What my mother gave me was the gist of what she could remember. But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that.
And it occurs to me that if Mrs. White had used her red pen more precisely I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher—to restrain (限定, 限制) her red pen. To allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression flower—however faultily—like that.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. I never could quite remember that the “e” went before the “a”. It annoyed my teacher in high school endlessly. Eventually the “e” s and “a” s that were wrong placed in “beautiful” settled into their right places. I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. “Pretty” is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs. White I had no concerns about writing what I meant, even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because life isn’t pretty. It’s beautiful.
24. What worried his mother when the author was in kindergarten?
A. The author’s unwillingness to go to school.
B. The teacher’s terrible attitude to the author.
C. The teacher’s ignorance of the author’s mistakes.
D. The author’s failure in exams and scrawl in homework.
25. What does the underlined word “dampen” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Reduce. B. Gain. C. Awaken. D. Inspire.
26. What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?
A. The author preferred using the word “pretty”.
B. The teacher in high school disliked the author.
C. The author finally succeeded in spelling “beautiful” correctly.
D. The author owed all his own spelling problems to Mrs. White.
27. Which of the following can be used to describe Mrs. White?
A. Generous and kind. B. Enthusiastic and careful.
C. Honest and brave. D. Far-sighted and tolerant.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己的幼儿园老师如何保护孩子们学习积极性，表达了自己对老师的感激之情。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The scrawl (潦草的笔迹) in that worried my mother, so one day when she met Mrs. White for one of those Parent-Teacher meetings, she asked her why she never corrected my mistakes.(字迹潦草的字迹让我母亲很担心，所以有一天，当她在一次家长会上遇到怀特老师时，她问她为什么从不纠正我的错误。)”可知，作者的老师从不纠正作者的错误，这使得作者的母亲很担心。故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. (孩子们刚刚开始对使用单词和造句感到兴奋。)”可知，孩子们刚开始对遣词造句感到兴奋；结合画线词所在句中的“that enthusiasm with red ink.”可知，Mrs. White不想用红墨水来打击孩子们的积极性，即降低孩子们的热情。由此可推知，dampen应意为“减弱”，与A项意思相近。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段内容尤其是“Eventually the ‘e’ s and ‘a’ s that were wrong placed in ‘beautiful’ settled into their right places.(最终，在“beautiful”一词中放错位置的“e”和“a”找到了正确的位置。)” 可知，最后作者以前经常写错的“e”和“a”都回到了它们正确的位置上，即作者最后成功将“beautiful”拼写正确。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文尤其是第三段“I don’t want to dampen that enthusiasm with red ink.(我不想用红墨水浇灭这种热情。)” 和“But I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that. (但我长大后学会了用充满爱和自信的语言。)”可推知，Mrs. White在教学方面很有远见，能容忍孩子们暂时的书写错误。故选D。

In an ancient Chinese story, Zhu Rong had the face of a man and the body of an animal. H rode on two dragons.
When he had a big fight with Gong Gong, the god of water, Zhu Rong won. But after the fight, the human world came into complete darkness. Then he brought fire from heaven to the world.
“Zhu Rong is regarded as the earliest god of fire in traditional Chinese culture,” a space official said. “The first Mars rover was named Zhu Rong. The name symbolizes light and hope for space exploration in our country, and means to guide humans to continue exploration.”
After leaving the earth last summer, Zhu Rong circled Mars for several months and landed on it in May. In recent years, our country has sent up the world’s first quantum satellite (量子卫星), and Chang’e-4 has made a soft landing on the moon. We have made great progress in space technology and will soon start building our own space station.

A. fire B. wars C. water D. animals
29. For China’s space exploration, the name Zhu Rong symbolizes ________.
A. a big fight B. complete darkness C. light and hope D. Chinese culture

D the official doesn’t like the name Zhu Rong
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】

29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The first Mars rover was named Zhu Rong. The name symbolizes light and hope for space exploration in our country, and means to guide humans to continue exploration. (第一个火星探测器被命名为祝融。这个名字象征着我国太空探索的光明和希望，意味着引导人类继续探索。)”可知，对于中国太空探索来说，祝融这个名字象征着光明和希望。故选C项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“After leaving the earth last summer, Zhu Rong circled Mars for several months and landed on it in May. (去年夏天离开地球后，祝融号绕火星飞行了几个月，并于今年5月着陆。)”可知，“祝融号”着陆的地点是上文提到的火星，it指代的是Mars。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We have made great progress in space technology and will soon start building our own space station. (我们在空间技术方面取得了很大的进步，不久将开始建造我们自己的空间站。)”可推知，作者为中国的航天技术感到骄傲。其中B项为原文内容，非推测出的内容。故选C项。

You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源) of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
32. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for?
A. Beautifying the city he lives in. B. Introducing eco-friendly products.
C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste. D. Reducing garbage on the beach.
33. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?
A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B. To explain why they are useful.
C. To voice his views on modern art.
D. To find a substitute for them.
34. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?
A. Calming. B. Disturbing.
C. Refreshing. D. Challenging.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic Safety
B. Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C. Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D. Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艺术家Benjamin Von Wong使用海洋中的塑料垃圾制作了一个巨型雕塑，极其震撼，引发人们对塑料污染的反思。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.(他用塑料垃圾建造巨大的雕塑，迫使观众重新审视他们与一次性塑料产品的关系)”可知，Von Wong用塑料垃圾制作雕塑，是想让人们重新审视与一次性塑料制品的关系，引起公众对塑料垃圾的关注。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源) of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. (全球只有9%的塑料垃圾被回收。塑料吸管绝不是最大的塑料污染源，但它们最近却受到了抨击，因为大多数人不需要吸管喝饮料，而且由于它们体积小、重量轻，无法回收利用)”可知，塑料吸管体积小、重量轻，无法回收利用。由此推知，作者在第三段讨论塑料吸管是为了展示它们回收的难度。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In a piece form 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.(在2018年的一个作品中，Von Wong想要说明一个具体的统计数字：每60秒，就有一卡车塑料进入海洋。这项名为“一卡车塑料”的作品，Von Wong和一群志愿者收集了一万多块塑料，然后把它们绑在一起，让它们看起来像是同时从卡车上倾倒下来的)”可知，这个作品以创新的方式让人们了解到塑料垃圾以很快的速度和很大的量倾入海洋，刷新了观众对海洋塑料污染的认知。由此推知，这个作品会让观众对塑料垃圾进入海洋造成污染这件事感到不安。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.(但一根塑料吸管或一个塑料杯真的有什么区别吗？艺术家Benjamin Von Wong想让你知道，它确实如此。他用塑料垃圾建造巨大的雕塑，迫使观众重新审视他们与一次性塑料产品的关系)”及下文陈述可知，艺术家Benjamin Von Wong通过使用海洋塑料垃圾制作巨型雕塑的方法，引发人们对塑料污染的反思。由此可知，“海洋塑料变成雕塑”可以作文章标题。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
Some paper plates can be recycled. ____36____ Rather than throw them away after one use, consider more eco-friendly choices.
____37____ First, they’re coated in plastic. This coating offers a smooth surface and prevents the paper plate from taking in liquids. Usually, the coating can’t be separated from the paper in a recycling facility, so these paper plates can’t be recycled like regular paper. Second, they’re polluted with food waste. Once they’ve been used, paper plates become covered in food waste. This adds pollutants to the recycling process. ____38____
If you’re trying to reduce your impact on the environment, then looking at ways to reuse any paper plates you do have is a good option. If you bought heavy-duty paper plates and they’re only a little dirty after use-if you served dry food on them, for example--you can clean them and use them again. ____39____
The most obvious alternative to paper plates is reusable plates. Even though you have to wash them with water, the environmental impact of a reusable plate will still be lower. If you’re looking for a semi-disposable (用数次的) plate,then you can find plates made from natural materials like bamboo. These plates can be used and washed or cleaned a few times. ____40____
A. The short answer is yes and no.
B. However, the vast majority usually can’t
C. At the end of their life, they will break down naturally
D. PLA is a bioplastic that’s used to coat some paper plates.
E. So most cities won’t accept used paper plates for recycling.
F. There are two main reasons why the majority of paper plates can’t be recycled
G. If you have clean paper plates, they can be used for a wide range of other projects.
【答案】36. B 37. F 38. E 39. G 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是纸盘很难被回收，建议选择可重复使用的盘子。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Some paper plates can be recycled.（一些纸盘可以回收利用。）”以及下文“Rather than throw them away after one use, consider more eco-friendly choices.（与其在使用一次后就把它们扔掉，不如考虑一下更环保的选择。）”可知，B选项“However, the vast majority usually can’t（然而，绝大多数人通常不能。）”与上下文话题一致，且与上文构成转折关系，符合语境。故选B项。

【38题详解】
根据上文“Once they’ve been used, paper plates become covered in food waste. This adds pollutants to the recycling process.（纸盘子一旦被使用，就会被食物垃圾覆盖。这增加了回收过程中的污染物。）”可知，E选项“So most cities won’t accept used paper plates for recycling.（所以大多数城市不接受用过的纸盘回收。）”与上文构成因果关系。故选E项。
39题详解】
根据上文“If you bought heavy-duty paper plates and they’re only a little dirty after use-if you served dry food on them, for example--you can clean them and use them again.（如果你买了坚固耐用的纸盘子，而它们在使用后只是有点脏——例如，如果你用它们盛干食物——你可以清洗它们并再次使用。）”可知，此处介绍了我们使用坚固耐用的纸盘子，弄脏之后清洗掉可以再次使用。这与G选项“If you have clean paper plates, they can be used for a wide range of other projects.（如果你有干净的纸盘，它们可以用于各种各样的其他项目中。）”话题一致。故选G项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“These plates can be used and washed or cleaned a few times.（这些盘子可以使用和清洗几次。）”可知，C选项“At the end of their life, they will break down naturally.（在它们生命的尽头，他们会自然地分解）”中they指代的就是前文These plates，描述话题一致。故选C项。

Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping (哭泣) sorrowfully (悲伤地) when she thought of the scolding (责骂) from her mother.Having wandered (游荡) aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat.She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh (叹气) and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me,” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, the smell so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped (擦拭) her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me. She is so merciless (无情的) compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude (感激) to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb (麻木的) with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered (变形) hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的). Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
Paragraph 1：
Approaching the doorway,

【答案】Paragraph 1：
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where might my mother be?” she wondered. “Is she really so angry with me that she doesn’t want to show any care for me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother, and she just realized that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2：
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head to see the familiar face and the worried eyes. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” came the tired voice. Jenny couldn’t help but throw herself into her mother’s arms. “I’m sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed the sincere apology and the great gratitude. Then she felt the hug tightened.
