【答案】18．C
19．B
20．B
【解析】
【原文】
Please listen carefully. We’ll be hiking down into the Grand Canyon soon. But even though it’s comfortable 26℃ here now, it’ll get much hotter as we go down. In fact, when we get to the bottom four hours from now, it’ll be 43℃ down there. So, most importantly, everyone must take along at least three liters of water. You’d better wear comfortable clothes and take some medicine in case you suffer from an illness. The heat can kill! In fact this year four people have already died in the Grand Canyon from heat exhaustion. One of them, a healthy 24-year-old man, just died one week ago. These have been the first heat-related deaths in the Grand Canyon in five years. Normally, people die in the Grand Canyon when they fall into it. Sometimes they also just get lost or get bitten by snakes, but this year has been extremely hot. The average daily temperature has been 41℃ at the bottom. So be careful and tell me if you feel uncomfortably hot. Last, I will carry a GPS; one will take a compass; four other persons will take a map. Well, good luck!

23. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you’ve just visiting the Sunshine Coast, you can return your go card to selected retailers or Queensland Rail ticket offices at the end of your stay to receive a full refund.(如果你刚刚游览了阳光海岸，你可以在停留结束时将您的前往卡退还给指定的零售商或昆士兰铁路售票处，以获得全额退款)”可知，将go card退还至指定的零售商或昆士兰铁路售票处即可全额退款，故选B。
The literary world has a new star. Novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah is the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in literature in recognition of his “compassionate penetration (洞察力) of the effects of colonialism (殖民主义) and the fate of the refugee (难民)”.
Gurnah grew up in Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania. In 1964, Gurnah was forced to leave for England as a refugee, where he began to reflect on his experiences in a diary and then through stories. Through the years, he wrote 10 novels and stories that explore the suffering caused by war and colonialism. “The thing that motivated the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world,” Gurnah told The New York Times.
His 1994 novel Paradise, which tells the story of a boy growing up in early 20th century Tanzania, marked his breakthrough as a novelist and won the Booker Prize. — Afterlives, his most recent work, continues the narrative of Paradise and takes place during the period of German colonialism in Tanzania.
Before he retired, Gurnah, 73, was a professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent in England. Although Gurnah’s first language is Swahili, he adopted English as his literary language. His writing often contains traces of Arabic, Swahili and German, as well.
Anders Olsson, the chair of the Nobel committee, said that Gurnah “is widely recognized as one of the world’s more preeminent post-colonial writers”.
Ethiopian-American novelist Maaza Mengiste described Gurnah’s writings as being “like a gentle blade (刀刃) slowly moving in” “He has written work that is absolutely unfearing and yet at the same time completely compassionate and full of heart for people of East Africa,” Mengiste said. “He is writing stories that are often quiet stories of people who aren’t heard, but there’s an insistence there that we listen.”
24. What are Gurnah’s works mainly about?
A. The life of the people in Tanzania.
B. Effects of war and colonialism.
C. Experiences of living abroad.
D. Growth in an underdeveloped nation.
25. What do we know about Gurnah?
A. He was inspired to write by his refugee experience.
B. He used to be a professor of law and literature.
C. He publishes his works in Arabic and Swahili.
D. He was not well-known until he won the Nobel Prize.
26. What does the underlined word “preeminent” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Awful. B. Outstanding. C. Potential. D. Productive.
27. What does Maaza Mengiste think of Gurnah’s writing?
A. It is elegantly written in his native language.
B. It is widely welcomed by people around the world.
C. It is powerful and employs sharp language.
D. It calls for attention to the life of the underclass.

26. 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah is the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in literature in recognition of his “compassionate penetration of the effects of colonialism and the fate of the refugee”.(小说家Abdulrazak Gurnah获得2021年诺贝尔文学奖，以表彰他“对殖民主义影响和难民命运富有同情心的洞察”。)”以及第五段“Anders Olsson, the chair of the Nobel committee, said that Gurnah “is widely recognized as one of the world’s more preeminent post-colonial writers”.(诺贝尔委员会主席Anders Olsson表示，Gurnah“被公认为世界上preeminent的后殖民作家之一”。)”可知，Gurnah得到世界认可，获得了诺贝尔文学奖，所以他是一位杰出的小说家，推测划线单词表示“杰出的”，与outstanding同义。故选B项。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He is writing stories that are often quiet stories of people who aren’t heard, but there’s an insistence there that we listen.(他写的故事通常都是一些不为人知的人的故事，但他坚持让我们倾听。)”可知，Maaza Mengiste认为Gurnah的作品讲述的是那些不为人知的人，呼吁人们关注下层阶级的生活。故选D项。
Sudan, the world’s last male northern white rhino (犀牛), died at 45 (elderly in rhino age) on Monday at Kenya’s Ol Pejeta Conservancy, about 130 kilometers north of Nairobi. The animal’s health had been in a bad state for the past month and recently worsened so much that he could no longer stand, so his treatment team decided to euthanize (使安乐死) him.
Born in Shambe, South Sudan, the rhino was captured two years after living in the wild and brought to the Dvur Królovė Zoo in the Czech Republic. He was moved to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy 34 years later.
This very special animal was beloved by many worldwide — and his death is a terrible warning of humanity’s threat to animals. Hunters in the 20th century wiped out most of this white rhino subspecies population, mainly for their horns, which were used in traditional Chinese health treatments. More than 2,000 of the animals lived in the wild in the 1960s, but their numbers had dropped to a couple of dozen by the end of the century. The only remaining northern white rhinos today are two captive (关在笼子里的) females — Sudan’s daughter Najin and granddaughter, Fatu. Neither is able to give birth naturally.
Now researchers are hoping to keep this kind of animal alive by artificially fertilizing Najin and Fatu’s eggs with sperm (精子) frozen from male northern white rhinos and then implanting the fertilized eggs into a female southern white rhino — a subspecies that was also threatened but has since grown quickly because of conservation efforts. Last year, as part of a campaign to raise money for such fertilization attempts, which experts say could cost as much as US $9 million, Sudan acquired a Tinder social medial account where people can donate money by swiping right on their phone screen. As of late Tuesday, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy had yet to update its website, which still read, “Visit the last three northern white rhinos” — a ticking alarm clock to which some humans are desperately trying to add time.
28. What is Ol Pejeta Conservancy?
A. A forest. B. A river.
C. An animal hospital. D. A nature reserve.
29. Why did Sudan’s treatment team plan to euthanize him?
A. He was too old. B. He couldn’t stand.
C. The team had no money to cure him. D. The team wanted to stop his pain.
30. What can we learn about white rhinos from the passage?
A. Their horns have great artistic value in China.
B. The two captive white rhinos can now give natural birth.
C. They were hunted in large numbers in the 20th century.
D. Their number had dropped to 2,000 by the end of the 20th century.
31. What do we know about artificial fertilization from the last paragraph?
A. It needs a huge amount of money to carry out.
B. It was first carried out in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy.
C. It is a safe but slow way to produce white rhino subspecies.
D. It has been used in many other young rhinos besides Najin and Fatu.

这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了世界上最后一头雄性北方白犀牛苏丹在肯尼亚Ol Pejeta保护区因健康状况恶化后被安乐死。
28. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Born in Shambe, South Sudan, the rhino was captured two years after living in the wild and brought to the Dvur Królovė Zoo in the Czech Republic. He was moved to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy 34 years later.(这只犀牛出生于南苏丹的沙姆贝，在野外生活两年后被捕获，并被带到捷克共和国的Dvur Królovė动物园。34年后，他被转移到Ol Pejeta保护区。)”可知，白犀牛在野外生活两年后被捕获，带到动物园，之后被转移到自然保护区，Ol Pejeta Conservancy是自然保护区。故选D项。
29. 细节理解题。根据第一段“The animal’s health had been in a bad state for the past month and recently worsened so much that he could no longer stand, so his treatment team decided to euthanize him.(在过去的一个月里，这只动物的健康状况一直很糟糕，最近病情严重恶化，以至于它再也站不住了，所以他的治疗团队决定对它实施安乐死。)”可知，这只动物的健康状况糟糕，最近病情严重恶化，所以苏丹的治疗团队对它实施安乐死是为了停止它的痛苦。故选D项。
30. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Hunters in the 20th century wiped out most of this white rhino subspecies population, mainly for their horns, which were used in traditional Chinese health treatments.(20世纪的猎人消灭了大多数白犀牛亚种，主要是因为它们的角，这被用于中国传统的健康治疗。)”可知，白犀牛在20世纪被大量捕杀。故选C项。
31. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Last year, as part of a campaign to raise money for such fertilization attempts, which experts say could cost as much as US $9 million, Sudan acquired a Tinder social medial account where people can donate money by swiping right on their phone screen.(去年，作为为此人工受精活动筹集资金的活动的一部分，苏丹获得了一个Tinder社交媒体账户，人们可以在手机屏幕上直接刷卡捐款，专家表示，这项活动的费用可能高达900万美元。)”可知，人工授精是需要大量的钱才能实现的。故选A项。
New genetically modified (转基因) apples designed by a biology company are being released this fall but won’t be labeled as GMOs (转基因生物). They’re called Arctic apples, whose genes have been changed from their original Golden Delicious state to make sure that after the fruits are cut open and exposed to the air, their flesh won’t turn brown in color.
The development company, Okanagan Specialty Fruits, says the apples may be on sale as bagged slices in up to 400 stores this season throughout the Midwest and Southern California. The fruit won’t bear the standard “produced with genetic engineering” label because of a 2016 law allowing codes to be visible on the packaging that link to a website with information on how the fruit was made.
The apples were made using a technique called gene silencing. The Okanagan team engineered the fruit’s DNA to produce less enzyme (酶) that causes the white, inner flesh to brown so that the new and improved slices will stay fresh for up to three weeks. Although there are only about 250 acres of Arctic apple trees currently planted across the US, the team hopes GMO fruits can reduce waste and increase apple sales overall.
While some experts believe that the Arctic apple’s GMO status isn’t harmful, groups opposing GMOs have started protesting the apples. An organization called Friends of the Earth claims that they’re “understudied, unlabeled and unnecessary.” Right now, apple slices treated with calcium and vitamin C can be purchased off Amazon with the promise of not browning before they arrive on the customer’s doorstep. And, a little bit of lemon juice is an easier and more natural way to prevent cut apples from turning color for a few hours.
32. The Arctic apples will not be labeled “GMO” because ________.
A. actually these apples are not genetically modified food
B. the fruit will be sold as bagged slices in up to 400 stores
C. there is not enough space for the label on the packaging
D. information of their apples can be checked on the Internet
33. How do Arctic apples stay fresh according to the Okanagan team?
A. By changing the fruit’s DNA to reduce relevant enzyme.
B. By decreasing the percentage of engineers in the team.
C. By treating apple slices with calcium and vitamin C.
D. By adding a little bit of lemon juice to the slices.
34. What is the Friends of the Earth’s attitude to Arctic apples?
A. Disapproving. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable. D. Cautious.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Novel Way to Keep Arctic Apples From Turning color.
B. Protest against Apples Entering US Markets due to the label.
C. GM Apples That Don’t Brown to Reach US Shelves This Fall.
D. Apples That Can Stay Free of Browning as Long as Three Months.

这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种新技术下研发的苹果将会于九月份上市，这种新苹果的褐化变色时间将延至三周。
32. 细节理解题。根据文中第二段的第二句“The fruit won’t bear the standard ‘produced with genetic engineering’ label because of a 2016 law allowing codes to be visible on the packaging that link to a website with information on how the fruit was made.”(这种水果不会贴上标准的“基因工程生产”标签，因为2016年的一项法律允许在包装上显示代码，该代码可以链接到一个关于水果如何生产的网站)可知，2016年的一项法律允许这种水果不贴上转基因的标签，但需要在包装上显示代码，消费者可以通过该代码查阅到这种苹果的信息。故选D项。
33. 细节理解题。根据文中第三段的第二句“The Okanagan team engineered the fruit’s DNA to produce less enzyme (酶) that causes the white, inner flesh to brown so that the new and improved slices will stay fresh for up to three weeks.”(奥卡那根大学的研究小组改造了这种水果的DNA，使其产生更少的酶可以使白色果肉变成棕色的酶。这样，经过改良的新切片可以保持新鲜长达三周。)可知是研究小组改变了水果的DNA使其产生较少相关的酶，使苹果褐化变色时间延长至三周，从而延长苹果保鲜的时间。故选A项。
34. 推理判断题。根据文中第四段的第一句“An organization called Friends of the Earth claims that they’re “understudied, unlabeled and unnecessary.”(一个名为“地球之友”的组织，声称他们‘研究不足，没有标签，没有必要’)可知，“地球之友”认为研究不足并且没有标签，也没有必要，故该组织对北极苹果持反对的态度。故选A项。
35. 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段中“New genetically modified (转基因) apples designed by a biology company are being released this fall but won’t be labeled as GMOs (转基因生物).” (由一家生物公司设计的苹果，今年秋天将会发行，但不会贴上转基因生物的标签。)可知本文介绍了一种秋季即将上市的新科技的苹果。这种苹果能够保鲜的时间较久，不易变色。故选C项。

However, a big part of college life is extracurricular activities.(课程是大学最重要的组成部分之一——毕竟，它们是你要支付的费用。然而，大学生活的很大一部分是课外活动)”结合文章结构可知，本空所填内容应该是小标题；又因为该部分主要介绍了大学生参加课外活动的重要性，故A项“离开教室后学习也不会停止”符合语境，概括了本段的主要内容。故选A。
37. 根据后文“You can take part in various sports, political groups and even plays on the stage.(你可以参加各种运动、政治团体，甚至在舞台上表演)”可知，本句是在说明大学生可以参加的活动，B项中的“many groups and activities”与后文可以对应。故B项“有许多适合大学生参加的社团和活动”符合语境。故选B。
38. 结合上文“Doing well in courses is important, and if you’re planning to stay in the US after graduation, the connections you make in college can be equally as significant.(学好课程很重要，如果你打算毕业后留在美国，你在大学里建立的关系也同样重要)”和本空后面一段“Knowing someone who knows someone at the place where you want to work can be very beneficial. This is why it’s important to make connections with your professors. A lot of internships, jobs and graduate schools require academic references.(认识一个在你想工作的地方认识的人是非常有益的。这就是为什么与教授建立联系很重要的原因。很多实习、工作和研究生院都需要学术参考)”可知，本句主要是在说明和教授建立联系，F选项中have good relationships with at least a few of your professors对应后文中make connections with your professors。故F项“至少与几位教授保持良好的关系，这一点非常重要”符合语境。故选F。
39. 根据后文“While it may be true compared with how knowledgeable Europeans are about the countries on their continent, it’s a bit of an unfair comparison.(虽然与欧洲人对欧洲大陆国家的了解程度相比，这可能是真的，但这有点不公平)”可知，本句主要是在说明某个国家对地理的了解，故E项“据说美国人对地理和别的国家了解甚少”符合语境。故选E。
40. 根据上文“The continental US is almost the same size as continental Europe.(美国大陆的面积几乎与欧洲大陆相同)”可知，上文提到了美国大陆的面积，前面的“the same size”可以锁定G项中的“smaller”。G选项“因此，和来自小国家的人们不同，美国人接触其它民族的机会更少”说明了美国与其他民族联系的局限性。故选G。

这是一篇说明文。你喜不喜欢一个人吃饭？虽然有不少人认为独自吃饭有消极的一面，但这种饮食方式可能也有它积极的一面。
56. 考查冠词。句意：虽然吃饭是功能性的，我们的身体需要食物提供的能量，但与朋友或爱人一起用餐是一种愉快的体验。experience是可数名词此处为泛指“一种愉快的体验”，且enjoyable是发音以元音音素开头的单词，应用不定冠词an。故填an。
57. 考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，我们中的一些人经常发现自己在餐馆里为一个人预定了一张桌子。此处为find+宾语+宾补结构，ourselves与reserve构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填reserving。
58. 考查名词复数。句意：我们有时会隐瞒一些可能会惹恼别人的事情。nose为可数名词，根据后文of others可知应用复数形式。故填noses。
59. 考查同位语从句。句意：当我们独自用餐时，我们可以吃任何我们想吃的东西，还有一个额外的好处，那就是我们可能会吃得更健康。引导同位语从句，从句不缺少成分，句意完整。故填that。
60. 考查副词。句意：当我们独自用餐时，我们可以吃任何我们想吃的东西，还有一个额外的好处，那就是我们可能会吃得更健康。修饰动词eat应用副词healthily，作状语。故填healthily。
61. 考查时态语态。句意：如果你得不到同样的食物，你可能会嫉妒食物，因为你看着别人享受披萨，而你拿着玉米。主语与谓语构成被动关系，结合上文as you watch someone enjoy a pizza可知应用一般现在时，主语为you，谓语用复数。故填are left。
62. 考查介词。句意：你是否曾经花很长时间和别人争论在哪家餐厅吃饭或什么时候见面？结合句意表示“和某人争论”可知短语为debate with。故填with。
63. 考查形容词。句意：如果一个人吃饭，你可以根据自己当时的欲望做出选择，并在你饿的时候得到营养！作表语，表示“饥饿的”应用形容词hungry。故填hungry。
64. 考查非谓语动词。句意：对于我们这些患有恐音症的人来说，别人咀嚼的声音是很难忍受的。此处为be adj. to do sth.。故填to bear。
65. 考查连词。句意：好吧，它可能不适合每个人，但它肯定有一些好处。结合前后文语境可知为转折关系，应用but或yet。故填but/yet。

九、读后续写
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。
My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells corny jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead?” She laughed, “Don’t be silly. We will have fun!”
“OK, fellas!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest snowflake hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here goes!”
Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or an assembly, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself — and me!!!
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
注意：
1. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
2. 续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1
“How I wish I could find a place to hide!” was all I could think.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
My mom turned out to be more than a little OK at performing.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
“How I wish I could find a place to hide!” was all I could think. I even thought that this would be the most embarrassing moment in my life. Would my classmates and teachers laugh at me for that? What could I do to stop her singing and dancing immediately? I found I couldn’t focus on her performance while she was singing and dancing. However, out of my imagination, all of my classmates and teachers enjoyed it very much. I could tell that from their reaction. Suddenly the applause burst out, which really surprised me.
Paragraph 2
My mom turned out to be more than a little OK at performing. Not only did she present us with a great performance, but also she showed us that it is very important to step up and volunteer. As soon as she walked off the stage, I gave her a big hug and told her I was so proud of her. I'll always stand by her.
