"Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. "If you can carry on, one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment."
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer. I hitchhiked（搭便车）to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station-and got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that in most cases big stations couldn't risk hiring inexperienced person. "Go out in the remote areas and find a small station that'll give you a chance," she said. I went back home to Dixon, Illinois.
While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me.
But I wasn't hired. My disappointment must have shown. "Everything happens for the best," Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt for jobs. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration boiled over（沸溢，发怒）. I asked aloud, "How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, "What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?" Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. The preceding autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute boost to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game!
On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother's words: "If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment".
4. The reason why the author wasn’t hired in Chicago was probably that____
A. he showed no confidence at the stations
B. there were no job available at the stations
C. he had no experience in radio broadcasting
D. there were too many people competing with him
5. We learn from the passage that ____
A. the frustration of the author prevented him from performing well at WOC Radio
B. both of the author’s parents showed support when he was trying to search for a job
C. Peter MacArthur recognize the author’s talent in broadcasting after reading his resume.
D. the author lost all his hope and courage when he was turned down by Montgomery Ward
6. What was most likely the author’s attitude towards Peter MacArthur？
A. He was worried that Peter wouldn’t believe in his ability
B. He was afraid that his loud inner clam would annoy Peter
C. He was angry that Peter didn’t offer him a satisfying potential
D. He was grateful that Peter could notice his broadcasting potential
7. What lesson can you learn from the author’s experience in the passage?
A. Well begun is half done B. Prevention is better than cure
C. No cross, no crown D. Rome was not built in a day
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己找工作所遇到的挫折，正好印证了作者母亲曾经说过的话“如果你坚持下去，总有一天会有好事发生。你会意识到，如果没有以前的挫折就不会有现在的一切。”
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的In one studio, a kind lady told me that in most cases big stations couldn't risk hiring inexperienced person. 可知，他被拒绝的原因可能是没有工作经验，故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的"Everything happens for the best," Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt for jobs. 可知，作者的父母都非常支持作者找工作，故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段开头As I left his office, my frustration boiled over（沸溢，发怒）.可知，作者开始时被拒绝，心情很沮丧。然后根据本段最后and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game! 可知 Peter MacArthur最后给了作者这份工作机会。由此可以推出，作者的心情由怒转喜，作者对Peter MacArthur是感激的，故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据作者的经历及文章最后一段的Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment可知 ，作者的经历让我们懂得：没有苦难，就没有成功，故选C。A. Well begun is half done 良好的开端是成功的一半； B. Prevention is better than cure与其补救于已然，不如防止于未然；C. No cross, no crown 没有苦难，就没有成功；D.Rome was not built in a day 罗马不是一天建成的。
B
The sperm whale is an astonishing creature. It’s longer than a semi-truck, weighs more than 90, 000 pounds and is the largest member of the toothed whale family. It’s known to dive 6, 500 feet in search of food, and to stay down there for longer than an hour at a time.
Perhaps most fantastically, the sperm whale’s brain weighs as much as 20 pounds-the biggest of any species on Earth. But when it comes to brains, is size all that matters? There’s a lot we don’t know about the sperm whale’s intelligence because it’s difficult to carry out neurological (神经的) testing on such a huge marine mammal. But some clues point to sperm whales being much smarter than we give them credit for.
A 2021 study published in Biology Letters, for example, looked back to 19th-century historical logbooks from whalers. Researchers found that sperm whales were at first easy to catch-but almost immediately, the whales learned how to evade hunters and whaling success dropped by 60 percent. The study suggests that the whales passed information to one another through soundwaves to avoid being caught.
Animals that have big brains usually have a few things in common. They usually live long lives; for example, sperm whales can live for 70 years or longer. Additionally, they’re capable of complex behaviors and they tend to be more socia1. Whales may work together to hunt or communicate in a language all their own.
What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking. And like humans, whales have emotional intelligence- meaning they＇re capable of empathy, grief and sadness. Still, in proportion to (与…成比例)our body size, the human brain is bigger than that of the sperm whale.
Yet there’s still so much we don’t know about how smart sperm whales really are. And just like the whalers of a century ago, we have likely been underestimating marine mammals, whether large or small, for as long as we’ve known of their existence.
8. Why do people know little about the sperm whale’s intelligence?
A. Sperm whales’ big size makes research difficult.
B. It didn’t attract scientists’ attention until recently.
C. Whalers didn’t keep enough records of their hunting.
D. Sperm whales usually stay deep down in the ocean.
9. What does the underlined word “evade” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Track. B. Avoid. C. Locate. D. Trick.
10. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 5?
A. The nerve cells distinguish humans from animals.
B. Sperm whales have smaller brains than humans.
C. Spindle neurons make higher intelligence possible.
D. Emotional intelligence is unique to whales and humans.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Sperm Whales Are Astonishingly Smart
B. Sperm Whales Have the Biggest Brain
C. Break the Code of Whale Language
D. Unlock the Mystery of Sea Mammals
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大型海洋动物——抹香鲸。研究人员发现，目前已有线索表明抹香鲸比人类所以为的要聪明得多。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“There’s a lot we don’t know about the sperm whale’s intelligence because it’s difficult to carry out neurological (神经的) testing on such a huge marine mammal.(我们对抹香鲸的智力知之甚少，因为很难对这样一种巨大的海洋哺乳动物进行神经学测试。)”可知，抹香鲸的巨大体型使得我们很难对它进行神经测试。故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“whaling success dropped by 60 percent(捕鲸的成功率下降了60%)”可知，抹香鲸是学会了如何躲避捕鱼人。选项A“Track (跟踪)”；选项B“Avoid (避免)”；选项C“Locate (定位)”；选项D“Trick (戏弄)”。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking. And like humans, whales have emotional intelligence- meaning they’re capable of empathy, grief and sadness. (更重要的是，人类、鲸鱼和海豚的大脑中都有纺锤形神经元。这些神经细胞使我们能够进行更深入的思考，比如推理技能、记忆、沟通和适应性思维。和人类一样，鲸鱼也有情商——这意味着它们能够感同身受、悲伤和悲伤。)”可知，纺锤形神经元使生物能够进行深入思考和适应性思维等，而这一切，使得生物会具有一定智商。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“But some clues point to sperm whales being much smarter than we give them credit for.(但一些线索表明抹香鲸比我们想象的要聪明得多。)”、第三段“The study suggests that the whales passed information to one another through soundwaves to avoid being caught.(研究表明，鲸鱼通过声波相互传递信息，以避免被捕获。)”、第四段“Additionally, they’re capable of complex behaviors and they tend to be more socia1. Whales may work together to hunt or communicate in a language all their own.(此外，它们有能力做出复杂的行为，而且往往更善于社交。鲸鱼可能会一起捕猎，或者用它们自己的语言交流。)”以及第五段“What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking.(更重要的是，人类、鲸鱼和海豚的大脑中都有纺锤形神经元。这些神经细胞使我们能够进行更深入的思考，比如推理技能、记忆、沟通和适应性思维。)”可知，文章主要讲述了抹香鲸是一种高智商的生物，极其聪明。故选A。
D
Why the East Coast has had such a weak winter
Overall, winter across the East Coast this year has been pretty weak. “I was in shorts and a T-shirt,” said Jeff Weber, a research meteorologist (气象学家) at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research. Meteorologists descended upon Boston in mid-January for the annual meeting of the American Meteorological Society. January is Boston's coldest month, but during the weather conference, meteorologists experienced 75 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures.
A major reason is that the polar vortex (极地涡旋) — which is a circulating stream of air that forms over the Arctic during winter — has stayed rigid and in place, keeping its cold air mostly locked up north. Consequently, little of this exceptionally chilly air has got into the U.S. this winter.
Arctic blasts (北极寒流), like those in January 2019, happen when the polar vortex becomes unstable, allowing frigid air to spill south. “But this winter, instead of a weak polar vortex, we’ve had strong polar vortex conditions,” said Andrea Lang, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Albany who researches changes in seasonal winter weather.
The polar vortex has stayed strong because other weather systems, sometimes originating from the Pacific. Ocean, haven’t come along and knocked the spinning vortex out of place.
A frequent culprit (问题的起因) in disturbing the polar vortex is a powerful stream of air traveling some 30,000 to 35,000 miles up in the atmosphere (where jets fly) which we commonly call the jet stream. The jet stream shoots from west to east around Earth at speeds of 120 to 250 miles per hour, but can become dramatically wavier when it’s disturbed by strong storm activity or encounters masses of hot or cold air.
But this winter season, the meandering (蜿蜒前进的) jet stream has not knocked the polar vortex off its pole, explained Lang. Instead, the jet stream has bent dramatically south, right through the heart of the central U. S.
Atmospheric scientists are deeply interested in why a perturbed polar vortex has become more frequent. There’s evidence that the incessantly warming Arctic — the fastest-warming place on Earth — has led to a weaker and less stable polar vortex, which means more outbreaks of freezing Arctic air. Just not this winter — so far, anyway.
12. What does Jeff Weber mean by saying what he wore?
A. To introduce his dressing style. B. To express his feeling then.
C. To prove the abnormal weather. D. To show his love of winter.
13. What do we know about the weather in Boston in January 2019?
A. It was as warm as that of this year.
B. It was very cold owing to the arctic blast.
C. The polar vortex stayed rigid and in place.
D. The polar vortex was weak and unstable.
14. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “perturbed” in the last paragraph?
A. Fixed. B. Frozen. C. Heated. D. Disturbed.
15. How does the jet stream usually affect the polar vortex?
A. By bending north and knocking it off.
B. By moving from east to west around Earth.
C. By waving and meandering powerfully.
D. By turning to the south dramatically.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了北美大陆东海岸的极端天气情况，分析了其带来的影响，并通过具体的数据、实例来唤起人们对环境保护的重视和对人类现状的忧患意识。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Overall, winter across the East Coast this year has been pretty weak. “I was in shorts and a T-shirt,” said Jeff Weber, a research meteorologist (气象学家) at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research.(总的来说，今年东海岸的冬天相当寒冷。“我穿着短裤和T恤，”大学大气研究公司的气象学家杰夫·韦伯说)”可推知，杰夫·韦伯说他的穿什么是来证明反常的天气。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Arctic blasts (北极寒流), like those in January 2019, happen when the polar vortex becomes unstable, allowing frigid air to spill south.(北极寒流，就像2019年1月发生的那样，发生在极地涡旋变得不稳定的时候，让寒冷的空气向南扩散)”可知，2019年1月，由于北极寒流的影响，波士顿非常寒冷。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“There’s evidence that the incessantly warming Arctic — the fastest-warming place on Earth — has led to a weaker and less stable polar vortex, which means more outbreaks of freezing Arctic air.(有证据表明，不断变暖的北极——地球上变暖最快的地方——导致了一个更弱、更不稳定的极地涡旋，这意味着更多的北极冷空气爆发)”可推知，大气科学家对为什么受扰动的极地涡旋变得更加频繁深感兴趣。由此推知，划线单词perturbed为“扰动”的意思，与选项D项Disturbed“打扰”意思一致。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But this winter season, the meandering (蜿蜒前进的) jet stream has not knocked the polar vortex off its pole, explained Lang. Instead, the jet stream has bent dramatically south, right through the heart of the central U. S.(但今年冬季，蜿蜒的急流并没有把极地涡旋从极点上撞下来，Lang解释说。相反，急流急剧向南弯曲，正好穿过美国中部的心脏地带)”可推知，急流（the jet stream）通常北上，把寒冷的极地涡旋冲散使之离开极地，从而使北美大陆寒冷。故选A项。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Not all hotel rooms are created equal. ____16____Read on for some of the biggest myths about hotel upgrades plus how to actually score one.
Myth 1: Celebrating a special occasion is a surefire way to an upgrade.
You probably thought the bottom line is that hotels want to take care of people who are celebrating. However, former flight attendant Philip Weiss reveals, don’t expect an upgrade just because you’re celebrating. ____17____ “The hotel staff will likely try to upsell you on that overpriced ‘romantic’ suite with full-hotel amenities included,” Weiss says.
Myth 2: It’s easier to get an upgrade if you’re only spending one night.
Quite the opposite. If you’re there for multiple nights, the chances of getting an upgrade certainly decrease as you’re likely to spend quite a bit at the hotel, especially on a honeymoon where couples tend to throw the usual budget out the window.
Myth 3: ____18____
Not always: If the front desk says they don’t have any rooms available for an upgrade, there’s a chance that some might simply be “out of service.”____19____ You might be able to negotiate with them. And no, this doesn’t mean you’ll be dealing with a broken shower.
However, there is one thing that makes an upgrade virtually impossible; special wishes. ____20____If you have preferences for a room you’ve booked and are paying for, usually that’s just fine. “If a guest wants a room on a high floor, far away from the elevator, with twin beds and a south-facing window, …we are happy to make this possible within their booked category, ” Jason says, a senior manager in Sheraton, before repeating that asking for all this plus an upgrade is just too complicated.
A. All the rooms are full.
B. The hotel might just turn the tables.
C. Rooms with faults can be easily upgraded.
D. Some of these rooms may only have small issues.
E. Celebrations usually go beyond a hotel’s services.
F. The less flexibility you give the front desk, the less flexibility they have to give you an upgrade.
G. However, talking your way into a hotel upgrade requires a lot more than an extra dose of charm as you approach the front desk.
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. A 19. D 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些方法以帮助自己获得酒店升级。
【16题详解】
根据空后内容“Read on for some of the biggest myths about hotel upgrades plus how to actually score one.(继续读下去，了解一些关于酒店升级的最大误区，以及如何真正获得升级。)”可知，下文介绍了一些如何获得酒店升级的方法。选项G“However, talking your way into a hotel upgrade requires a lot more than an extra dose of charm as you approach the front desk.(然而，想要让自己获得酒店升级，在你走近前台时需要的不仅仅是一剂额外的魅力。)”引出下文获得升级的方法，与下文内容一致。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据空前内容“However, former flight attendant Philip Weiss reveals, don’t expect an upgrade just because you’re celebrating.(然而，前空乘Philip Weiss透露，不要因为庆祝就期待升级。)”可知，空前讲述的是不要因为庆祝就期待自己获得酒店升级。而空后““The hotel staff will likely try to upsell you on that overpriced ‘romantic’ suite with full-hotel amenities included,” Weiss says.(“酒店工作人员很可能会向你推销价格过高的‘浪漫’套房，其中包括全套酒店设施，Weiss说。)”则讲述的是你可能不仅不会获得升级，而且酒店工作人员还会向你推销价格过高的套房。选项B“The hotel might just turn the tables.(酒店可能会扭转局面。)”承上启下，讲述的是你可能不会获得预期的升级，同时酒店还会向你推销价格过高的套房。故选B。
【18题详解】
空处为小标题，为第三个误区。根据下文“Not always: If the front desk says they don’t have any rooms available for an upgrade, there’s a chance that some might simply be “out of service.”(不总是这样：如果前台说他们没有任何房间可供升级，有可能有些房间只是“停止服务”。)”可知，有时候前台说没房间其实并非事实。选项A“All the rooms are full.(所有的房间都住满了。)”与下文内容一致，指的是“所有的房间都住满了”是个误区，其实只是一种服务人员不想给你升级的说辞。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文可知，有时候服务人员说他们没有任何房间可供升级，有可能有些房间只是“停止服务”。而空后内容“You might be able to negotiate with them. And no, this doesn’t mean you’ll be dealing with a broken shower.(你也许可以和他们谈判。不，这并不意味着你要处理一个坏了的淋浴。)”讲述的是有可能这个房间并没有什么问题。选项D“Some of these rooms may only have small issues.(有些房间可能只有小问题。)”承上启下，指出有些房间只是小问题。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据下文内容“If you have preferences for a room you’ve booked and are paying for, usually that’s just fine. “If a guest wants a room on a high floor, far away from the elevator, with twin beds and a south-facing window, …we are happy to make this possible within their booked category, ” Jason says, a senior manager in Sheraton, before repeating that asking for all this plus an upgrade is just too complicated.(如果你对预定的房间有偏好，并且正在付款，这通常是可以的。喜来登酒店的高级经理杰森说：“如果客人想要一个高层的房间，远离电梯，有双人床和朝南的窗户，……我们很乐意在他们预定的类别内实现这一目标。”然后他又重复说，要求所有这些再加上升级，太复杂了。)”可知，如果你对房间的要求过于细节化，那么升级的可能性越小。选项F“The less flexibility you give the front desk, the less flexibility they have to give you an upgrade(你给前台的灵活性越小，他们给你升级的灵活性就越小。)”与下文内容一致，故选F。

47. 阅读下两材料，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。
When lightning struck
I was in the tiny bathroom in the back of the plane when I felt a jolt (颠簸). and then the horrible swerve (急转弯) that threw me against the door. Somehow, I managed to unlock the door and climb out awkwardly. The flight attendants, all with their seat belts fastened, waved wildly for me to sit down. As I struggled toward my seat, passengers looked up at me with the panic-stricken expressions of creatures who knew they were about to die.
“I think we got hit by lightning,” the girl in the seat next to mine said, her voice shaking. She was from a small town in east Texas, and this was only her second time on an airplane. She had won a trip to London by competing in a high school geography bee and was supposed to make a connecting flight when we landed in Newark.
Across the aisle sat a charming young woman, who had been working on her laptop. Now she put it away. She looked around and then her eyes met mine. “Are you OK?” she asked me. I forced a smile back, when the pilot’s voice came over the speaker. I heard vaguely through my fear, “Engine number two...emergency landing... New Orleans.” When he was done, the voice of a flight attendant came on, reminding us of the emergency procedures she had reviewed before takeoff. Understandably, I had never paid attention to this drill, always figuring that if we ever got to the point where we needed to use life jackets, I would have already died of terror.
Now we began a roller-coaster ride through the thunderclouds. I was ready to faint, but when I saw the face of the girl next to me, I pulled myself together, reached for her hand and reassured her that we were going to make it, “What a story you’re going to tell when you get home!” I said. “After this, London’s going to seem like small potatoes.”
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。
I wondered where I was getting my strength.

And then...we landed safely.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I wondered where I was getting my strength. Believe it or not, my other hand was being tightly held by a ringed hand! It was the confident-looking young woman across the aisle. She must have noticed how scared I was and reached over. Among the many feelings going through my head during those 20 minutes was pride-pride in how well everybody on board was behaving. No one went wild with fear. As we jolted and screeched our way downward, I could hear small conversations comforting each other everywhere.
And then...we landed safely. “Ladies and gentlemen, we’re now safe!” the captain announced. Cheers of relief filled the cabin. My cross-aisle neighbour, with her hand still holding mine tight, was weeping with excitement! My next-seat neighbor took over my other hand, laughing out loud! I suddenly realized that kindness is every small act of care, especially in times of great, great difficulty, and that the point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on!

B
"Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. "If you can carry on, one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment."
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer. I hitchhiked（搭便车）to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station-and got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that in most cases big stations couldn't risk hiring inexperienced person. "Go out in the remote areas and find a small station that'll give you a chance," she said. I went back home to Dixon, Illinois.
While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me.
But I wasn't hired. My disappointment must have shown. "Everything happens for the best," Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt for jobs. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration boiled over（沸溢，发怒）. I asked aloud, "How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, "What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?" Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. The preceding autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute boost to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday’s game!
On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother's words: "If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment".

The sperm whale is an astonishing creature. It’s longer than a semi-truck, weighs more than 90, 000 pounds and is the largest member of the toothed whale family. It’s known to dive 6, 500 feet in search of food, and to stay down there for longer than an hour at a time.
Perhaps most fantastically, the sperm whale’s brain weighs as much as 20 pounds-the biggest of any species on Earth. But when it comes to brains, is size all that matters? There’s a lot we don’t know about the sperm whale’s intelligence because it’s difficult to carry out neurological (神经的) testing on such a huge marine mammal. But some clues point to sperm whales being much smarter than we give them credit for.
A 2021 study published in Biology Letters, for example, looked back to 19th-century historical logbooks from whalers. Researchers found that sperm whales were at first easy to catch-but almost immediately, the whales learned how to evade hunters and whaling success dropped by 60 percent. The study suggests that the whales passed information to one another through soundwaves to avoid being caught.
Animals that have big brains usually have a few things in common. They usually live long lives; for example, sperm whales can live for 70 years or longer. Additionally, they’re capable of complex behaviors and they tend to be more socia1. Whales may work together to hunt or communicate in a language all their own.
What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking. And like humans, whales have emotional intelligence- meaning they＇re capable of empathy, grief and sadness. Still, in proportion to (与…成比例)our body size, the human brain is bigger than that of the sperm whale.
Yet there’s still so much we don’t know about how smart sperm whales really are. And just like the whalers of a century ago, we have likely been underestimating marine mammals, whether large or small, for as long as we’ve known of their existence.
8. Why do people know little about the sperm whale’s intelligence?
A. Sperm whales’ big size makes research difficult.
B. It didn’t attract scientists’ attention until recently.
C. Whalers didn’t keep enough records of their hunting.
D. Sperm whales usually stay deep down in the ocean.
9. What does the underlined word “evade” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Track. B. Avoid. C. Locate. D. Trick.
10. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 5?
A. The nerve cells distinguish humans from animals.
B. Sperm whales have smaller brains than humans.
C. Spindle neurons make higher intelligence possible.
D. Emotional intelligence is unique to whales and humans.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Sperm Whales Are Astonishingly Smart
B. Sperm Whales Have the Biggest Brain
C. Break the Code of Whale Language
D. Unlock the Mystery of Sea Mammals
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大型海洋动物——抹香鲸。研究人员发现，目前已有线索表明抹香鲸比人类所以为的要聪明得多。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“There’s a lot we don’t know about the sperm whale’s intelligence because it’s difficult to carry out neurological (神经的) testing on such a huge marine mammal.(我们对抹香鲸的智力知之甚少，因为很难对这样一种巨大的海洋哺乳动物进行神经学测试。)”可知，抹香鲸的巨大体型使得我们很难对它进行神经测试。故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“whaling success dropped by 60 percent(捕鲸的成功率下降了60%)”可知，抹香鲸是学会了如何躲避捕鱼人。选项A“Track (跟踪)”；选项B“Avoid (避免)”；选项C“Locate (定位)”；选项D“Trick (戏弄)”。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking. And like humans, whales have emotional intelligence- meaning they’re capable of empathy, grief and sadness. (更重要的是，人类、鲸鱼和海豚的大脑中都有纺锤形神经元。这些神经细胞使我们能够进行更深入的思考，比如推理技能、记忆、沟通和适应性思维。和人类一样，鲸鱼也有情商——这意味着它们能够感同身受、悲伤和悲伤。)”可知，纺锤形神经元使生物能够进行深入思考和适应性思维等，而这一切，使得生物会具有一定智商。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“But some clues point to sperm whales being much smarter than we give them credit for.(但一些线索表明抹香鲸比我们想象的要聪明得多。)”、第三段“The study suggests that the whales passed information to one another through soundwaves to avoid being caught.(研究表明，鲸鱼通过声波相互传递信息，以避免被捕获。)”、第四段“Additionally, they’re capable of complex behaviors and they tend to be more socia1. Whales may work together to hunt or communicate in a language all their own.(此外，它们有能力做出复杂的行为，而且往往更善于社交。鲸鱼可能会一起捕猎，或者用它们自己的语言交流。)”以及第五段“What’s more, humans, whales and dolphins all have spindle neurons in their brains. These nerve cells make us capable of deeper thought, such as reasoning skills, memory, communication and adaptive thinking.(更重要的是，人类、鲸鱼和海豚的大脑中都有纺锤形神经元。这些神经细胞使我们能够进行更深入的思考，比如推理技能、记忆、沟通和适应性思维。)”可知，文章主要讲述了抹香鲸是一种高智商的生物，极其聪明。故选A。

Why the East Coast has had such a weak winter
Overall, winter across the East Coast this year has been pretty weak. “I was in shorts and a T-shirt,” said Jeff Weber, a research meteorologist (气象学家) at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research. Meteorologists descended upon Boston in mid-January for the annual meeting of the American Meteorological Society. January is Boston's coldest month, but during the weather conference, meteorologists experienced 75 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures.
A major reason is that the polar vortex (极地涡旋) — which is a circulating stream of air that forms over the Arctic during winter — has stayed rigid and in place, keeping its cold air mostly locked up north. Consequently, little of this exceptionally chilly air has got into the U.S. this winter.
Arctic blasts (北极寒流), like those in January 2019, happen when the polar vortex becomes unstable, allowing frigid air to spill south. “But this winter, instead of a weak polar vortex, we’ve had strong polar vortex conditions,” said Andrea Lang, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Albany who researches changes in seasonal winter weather.
The polar vortex has stayed strong because other weather systems, sometimes originating from the Pacific. Ocean, haven’t come along and knocked the spinning vortex out of place.
A frequent culprit (问题的起因) in disturbing the polar vortex is a powerful stream of air traveling some 30,000 to 35,000 miles up in the atmosphere (where jets fly) which we commonly call the jet stream. The jet stream shoots from west to east around Earth at speeds of 120 to 250 miles per hour, but can become dramatically wavier when it’s disturbed by strong storm activity or encounters masses of hot or cold air.
But this winter season, the meandering (蜿蜒前进的) jet stream has not knocked the polar vortex off its pole, explained Lang. Instead, the jet stream has bent dramatically south, right through the heart of the central U. S.
Atmospheric scientists are deeply interested in why a perturbed polar vortex has become more frequent. There’s evidence that the incessantly warming Arctic — the fastest-warming place on Earth — has led to a weaker and less stable polar vortex, which means more outbreaks of freezing Arctic air. Just not this winter — so far, anyway.
12. What does Jeff Weber mean by saying what he wore?
A. To introduce his dressing style. B. To express his feeling then.
C. To prove the abnormal weather. D. To show his love of winter.
13. What do we know about the weather in Boston in January 2019?
A. It was as warm as that of this year.
B. It was very cold owing to the arctic blast.
C. The polar vortex stayed rigid and in place.
D. The polar vortex was weak and unstable.
14. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “perturbed” in the last paragraph?
A. Fixed. B. Frozen. C. Heated. D. Disturbed.
15. How does the jet stream usually affect the polar vortex?
A. By bending north and knocking it off.
B. By moving from east to west around Earth.
C. By waving and meandering powerfully.
D. By turning to the south dramatically.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了北美大陆东海岸的极端天气情况，分析了其带来的影响，并通过具体的数据、实例来唤起人们对环境保护的重视和对人类现状的忧患意识。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Overall, winter across the East Coast this year has been pretty weak. “I was in shorts and a T-shirt,” said Jeff Weber, a research meteorologist (气象学家) at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research.(总的来说，今年东海岸的冬天相当寒冷。“我穿着短裤和T恤，”大学大气研究公司的气象学家杰夫·韦伯说)”可推知，杰夫·韦伯说他的穿什么是来证明反常的天气。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Arctic blasts (北极寒流), like those in January 2019, happen when the polar vortex becomes unstable, allowing frigid air to spill south.(北极寒流，就像2019年1月发生的那样，发生在极地涡旋变得不稳定的时候，让寒冷的空气向南扩散)”可知，2019年1月，由于北极寒流的影响，波士顿非常寒冷。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“There’s evidence that the incessantly warming Arctic — the fastest-warming place on Earth — has led to a weaker and less stable polar vortex, which means more outbreaks of freezing Arctic air.(有证据表明，不断变暖的北极——地球上变暖最快的地方——导致了一个更弱、更不稳定的极地涡旋，这意味着更多的北极冷空气爆发)”可推知，大气科学家对为什么受扰动的极地涡旋变得更加频繁深感兴趣。由此推知，划线单词perturbed为“扰动”的意思，与选项D项Disturbed“打扰”意思一致。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But this winter season, the meandering (蜿蜒前进的) jet stream has not knocked the polar vortex off its pole, explained Lang. Instead, the jet stream has bent dramatically south, right through the heart of the central U. S.(但今年冬季，蜿蜒的急流并没有把极地涡旋从极点上撞下来，Lang解释说。相反，急流急剧向南弯曲，正好穿过美国中部的心脏地带)”可推知，急流（the jet stream）通常北上，把寒冷的极地涡旋冲散使之离开极地，从而使北美大陆寒冷。故选A项。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Not all hotel rooms are created equal. ____16____Read on for some of the biggest myths about hotel upgrades plus how to actually score one.
Myth 1: Celebrating a special occasion is a surefire way to an upgrade.
You probably thought the bottom line is that hotels want to take care of people who are celebrating. However, former flight attendant Philip Weiss reveals, don’t expect an upgrade just because you’re celebrating. ____17____ “The hotel staff will likely try to upsell you on that overpriced ‘romantic’ suite with full-hotel amenities included,” Weiss says.
Myth 2: It’s easier to get an upgrade if you’re only spending one night.
Quite the opposite. If you’re there for multiple nights, the chances of getting an upgrade certainly decrease as you’re likely to spend quite a bit at the hotel, especially on a honeymoon where couples tend to throw the usual budget out the window.
Myth 3: ____18____
Not always: If the front desk says they don’t have any rooms available for an upgrade, there’s a chance that some might simply be “out of service.”____19____ You might be able to negotiate with them. And no, this doesn’t mean you’ll be dealing with a broken shower.
However, there is one thing that makes an upgrade virtually impossible; special wishes. ____20____If you have preferences for a room you’ve booked and are paying for, usually that’s just fine. “If a guest wants a room on a high floor, far away from the elevator, with twin beds and a south-facing window, …we are happy to make this possible within their booked category, ” Jason says, a senior manager in Sheraton, before repeating that asking for all this plus an upgrade is just too complicated.
A. All the rooms are full.
B. The hotel might just turn the tables.
C. Rooms with faults can be easily upgraded.
D. Some of these rooms may only have small issues.
E. Celebrations usually go beyond a hotel’s services.
F. The less flexibility you give the front desk, the less flexibility they have to give you an upgrade.
G. However, talking your way into a hotel upgrade requires a lot more than an extra dose of charm as you approach the front desk.
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. A 19. D 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些方法以帮助自己获得酒店升级。
【16题详解】
根据空后内容“Read on for some of the biggest myths about hotel upgrades plus how to actually score one.(继续读下去，了解一些关于酒店升级的最大误区，以及如何真正获得升级。)”可知，下文介绍了一些如何获得酒店升级的方法。选项G“However, talking your way into a hotel upgrade requires a lot more than an extra dose of charm as you approach the front desk.(然而，想要让自己获得酒店升级，在你走近前台时需要的不仅仅是一剂额外的魅力。)”引出下文获得升级的方法，与下文内容一致。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据空前内容“However, former flight attendant Philip Weiss reveals, don’t expect an upgrade just because you’re celebrating.(然而，前空乘Philip Weiss透露，不要因为庆祝就期待升级。)”可知，空前讲述的是不要因为庆祝就期待自己获得酒店升级。而空后““The hotel staff will likely try to upsell you on that overpriced ‘romantic’ suite with full-hotel amenities included,” Weiss says.(“酒店工作人员很可能会向你推销价格过高的‘浪漫’套房，其中包括全套酒店设施，Weiss说。)”则讲述的是你可能不仅不会获得升级，而且酒店工作人员还会向你推销价格过高的套房。选项B“The hotel might just turn the tables.(酒店可能会扭转局面。)”承上启下，讲述的是你可能不会获得预期的升级，同时酒店还会向你推销价格过高的套房。故选B。
【18题详解】
空处为小标题，为第三个误区。根据下文“Not always: If the front desk says they don’t have any rooms available for an upgrade, there’s a chance that some might simply be “out of service.”(不总是这样：如果前台说他们没有任何房间可供升级，有可能有些房间只是“停止服务”。)”可知，有时候前台说没房间其实并非事实。选项A“All the rooms are full.(所有的房间都住满了。)”与下文内容一致，指的是“所有的房间都住满了”是个误区，其实只是一种服务人员不想给你升级的说辞。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文可知，有时候服务人员说他们没有任何房间可供升级，有可能有些房间只是“停止服务”。而空后内容“You might be able to negotiate with them. And no, this doesn’t mean you’ll be dealing with a broken shower.(你也许可以和他们谈判。不，这并不意味着你要处理一个坏了的淋浴。)”讲述的是有可能这个房间并没有什么问题。选项D“Some of these rooms may only have small issues.(有些房间可能只有小问题。)”承上启下，指出有些房间只是小问题。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据下文内容“If you have preferences for a room you’ve booked and are paying for, usually that’s just fine. “If a guest wants a room on a high floor, far away from the elevator, with twin beds and a south-facing window, …we are happy to make this possible within their booked category, ” Jason says, a senior manager in Sheraton, before repeating that asking for all this plus an upgrade is just too complicated.(如果你对预定的房间有偏好，并且正在付款，这通常是可以的。喜来登酒店的高级经理杰森说：“如果客人想要一个高层的房间，远离电梯，有双人床和朝南的窗户，……我们很乐意在他们预定的类别内实现这一目标。”然后他又重复说，要求所有这些再加上升级，太复杂了。)”可知，如果你对房间的要求过于细节化，那么升级的可能性越小。选项F“The less flexibility you give the front desk, the less flexibility they have to give you an upgrade(你给前台的灵活性越小，他们给你升级的灵活性就越小。)”与下文内容一致，故选F。

【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：为纪念这一时刻，中国邮政于2021年12月发行了一套邮票。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词填入，由时间状语in December（2021）可知，此处应为一般过去时。故填issued。
【37题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：当他还小的时候，王安石就熟悉了农民的艰辛。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语be familiar with“对……熟悉”，所以此处为介词with的填入。故填with。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在他通过科举考试成为官员后，他想改变他们的状况，并发起了一系列的改革。根据句意以及空后official为单数名词可知，此处为表示泛指“一个官员”为泛指概念，结合official为首音节元音单词，所以为不定冠词an的填入。故填an。
【39题详解】
考查动名词。句意：他非常重视培养不同领域的人才，例如法律。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语attach importance to doing“重视做某事”，所以此处为动名词形式。故填training。
【40题详解】

【42题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：中国前总理温家宝在讲话中引用了王安石的话：一个真正的改革者不应该害怕奇怪的天文现象和评论。由nor连接的comments为名词复数形式可知，此处也应为名词复数形式，phenomenon的复数形式为不规则变化，为phenomena。故填phenomena。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：美国政治家亨利·华莱士(Henry a . Wallace)有一本书记录了王安石的改革政策。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰book，book和record为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填recording。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：在他的一生中，王安石写了1000多首诗。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，王安石是对历史产生巨大影响的人物，在描写该类名人的影响时可使用现在完成时强调其对当下造成的影响，也可以使用一般过去时描述过去发生的某件事情。故填has penned/penned。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这些诗短小精悍，主题深刻，为他赢得了国内外的广泛赞誉。分析句子可知，此处为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整句话在从句中作主语成分。故填which。

Last week, our school launched a traditional Chinese handicraft campaign aimed at increasing students’ knowledge and confidence in this art form. The campaign was a great success and left a lasting impression on all who participated.
The highlight of the campaign was a lecture by experts on traditional Chinese handicrafts. They introduced students to various representative forms, such as paper-cutting, Chinese knots and clay sculpture. The experts explained the origin, development, and current status of each craft, and showcased some of their best works of art which were exquisite and impressive.

47. 阅读下两材料，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。
When lightning struck
I was in the tiny bathroom in the back of the plane when I felt a jolt (颠簸). and then the horrible swerve (急转弯) that threw me against the door. Somehow, I managed to unlock the door and climb out awkwardly. The flight attendants, all with their seat belts fastened, waved wildly for me to sit down. As I struggled toward my seat, passengers looked up at me with the panic-stricken expressions of creatures who knew they were about to die.
“I think we got hit by lightning,” the girl in the seat next to mine said, her voice shaking. She was from a small town in east Texas, and this was only her second time on an airplane. She had won a trip to London by competing in a high school geography bee and was supposed to make a connecting flight when we landed in Newark.
Across the aisle sat a charming young woman, who had been working on her laptop. Now she put it away. She looked around and then her eyes met mine. “Are you OK?” she asked me. I forced a smile back, when the pilot’s voice came over the speaker. I heard vaguely through my fear, “Engine number two...emergency landing... New Orleans.” When he was done, the voice of a flight attendant came on, reminding us of the emergency procedures she had reviewed before takeoff. Understandably, I had never paid attention to this drill, always figuring that if we ever got to the point where we needed to use life jackets, I would have already died of terror.
Now we began a roller-coaster ride through the thunderclouds. I was ready to faint, but when I saw the face of the girl next to me, I pulled myself together, reached for her hand and reassured her that we were going to make it, “What a story you’re going to tell when you get home!” I said. “After this, London’s going to seem like small potatoes.”

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I wondered where I was getting my strength. Believe it or not, my other hand was being tightly held by a ringed hand! It was the confident-looking young woman across the aisle. She must have noticed how scared I was and reached over. Among the many feelings going through my head during those 20 minutes was pride-pride in how well everybody on board was behaving. No one went wild with fear. As we jolted and screeched our way downward, I could hear small conversations comforting each other everywhere.
And then...we landed safely. “Ladies and gentlemen, we’re now safe!” the captain announced. Cheers of relief filled the cabin. My cross-aisle neighbour, with her hand still holding mine tight, was weeping with excitement! My next-seat neighbor took over my other hand, laughing out loud! I suddenly realized that kindness is every small act of care, especially in times of great, great difficulty, and that the point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on!
