The Most Beautiful Seas in the World
Considering the most beautiful seas, it’s worth paying attention to the southern water bodies,although, without doubt,each sea is attractive and charming in its own way.

If we consider the beauty of the seas, and not their coasts, then the first place should be given to the Coral Sea. The Coral Sea is a dangerous place for sailors, and at the same time one of the most beautiful places for diving, and all this is due to the unique coral reefs that are at its bottom.

The Red Sea is a truly magnificent place. It has rich fish stocks, a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich. Many corals live only here, and divers are strictly forbidden to break them.
The third place-Caribbean
This is the warmest exotic(异域风情的)place where not only the sea but also the plants on its coast please the eye. It’s located between North and South America, and on its shore there are a number of small countries. Many tourists come here, because rest here is inexpensive,and you can experience different cultural traditions.
The fourth place -Bali Sea
The Bali Sea is located in the Pacific Ocean. This is another paradise(天堂)for relaxation，receiving many tourists every season. The sea has a warm climate, creating ideal conditions for relaxing on the islands of Java, Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Madura.
1. For which group of people is the Coral Sea most suitable?
A. Visitors hoping for beautiful and relaxing coasts.
B. Swimmers looking for the best swimming pools.
C. Professional divers with advanced equipment.
D. Young sailors hoping to find unique coral reefs.

Born in a musical family in 1925 in New Orleans, Renald Richard spent his childhood filled with music. At the age of 13, he went to see a band perform at a church where he fell in love with trumpet. So he started lessons on it, and later played it in the high school band. After high school, he was sent into military service and played his trumpet in the United States Navy Band. After ending up studying music at Xavier University of Louisiana, he played clubs on the famous Bourbon Street and also toured with many bands.
In 1954, Richard was approached by Jeff Brown, the manager of musician Ray Charles. He invited Richard to join Ray Charles’ new band. “To be selected by Ray Charles was an honor to me. Ray Charles was exacting.” said Richard, “He was a perfectionist and was rather demanding about his music.”
Renald Richard toured all over the South and West with Ray Charles. Sitting in the back seat of the car on the way to a concert, Richard wrote the song “I Got a Woman” for Charles, which became Ray Charles’ first number one radio hit. In 1954,Renald Richard left Ray Charles’ band. However, he stayed friendly with Ray Charles over the years. He became the high school’s band director in his hometown until 1962. Four years later, he moved again to New York City. Over the years, Richard has written many other songs that have been recorded by artists including Joe Turner, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley to name a few. Living now in Southern Florida, Richard is still active at the age of 92. As you can see, Renald Richard’s musical days are by no means near an end.

Jessica Brookhart has always loved tiny houses and tree house. When some land went up for sale in Gold Hill, Colorado, she bought it. Why? Because it came with a tree house. Brookhart, 41, spent $80,000 to live out her dream.
She isn’t alone. Tree houses are on the rise all over the U.S. More people are building them, more people are buying them, and more people are renting them. A house in a tree is a fun way to escape being trapped in your home. But you don’t have to stay with strangers. And you don’t have to travel farther than your own backyard.
The tree house that Brookhart bought can fit two adults and two children. There is no bathroom or running water. There is a portable toilet on the ground. From the windows, you can see the mountains. “It is a magical place,” Brookhart said. She admits that she made an emotional buy. But it offered a special place to spend time with her husband and their two young sons. She sometimes rents the tree house out online. Lots of people want to use it. “I have to block off a bunch of weekends so we can spend time there too,” she said.
Many of the new tree houses aren’t made of rough boards and nails. Some are very stylish. Business is great for Aaron Smith, who runs a tree house architecture company. He started it in 2015, and now employs a second designer and eight builders. His tree houses have ranged from a basic backyard structure costing around $10,000 to a livable tree house with indoor plumbing (管路系统) for half a million. He has customers all over the country.
The Mohicans Treehouse Resort in Glenmont, Ohio, rents out luxurious tree houses. But for many people, simple tree houses are good enough. Jim Brook, 71, built his grandsons a small platform tree house a few years ago. “I love to introduce them to nature and encourage them to play outdoors,” Brook said.
8. Which of the following is described in the second paragraph?
A. Tree houses are a growing trend.
B. More people are buying small houses.
C. Tree houses are fun places at people’s backyard.
D. People like traveling farther to get private pace.
9. What do we know about Brookhart and her tree house?
A. She thinks it too costly. B. She became absorbed in it.
C. She bought it to rent it out. D. She always lives there alone.
10. What can we infer about Smith’s business?
A. It aims to house the poor. B. It has developed smoothly.
C. It mainly builds livable tree houses. D. It has faced serious designer shortages
11. What is Brook’s attitude to simple tree houses?
A. Worried. B. Cautious. C. Uncaring. D. Favorable.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】

It’s uncertain when many offices may reopen, but it’s clear the virtual work revolution that began with the pandemic isn’t going away.
Alexia Cambon,research director at Gartner, says finding the right combination of in-person and virtual work will take creativity and experimentation. Managing director Deborah Lovich stresses that companies should consider that flexibility is not only about location, but also about the hours employees work.
Alexia also points out the importance of finding solutions for a whole team. “What COVID-19 taught us is that flex work cannot be for an individual. It has to be for the team,” she says. “When the whole team is together online versus a whole team together in person,it works.”
Progressive organizations are also reconsidering their workplace culture. “They’re thinking about changing culture and leadership to be much more trust-based, impact-based, instead of input-based,like,I see you,so I think you’re productive,’ compared to, ‘Wow, I see what you’ve accomplished,and I know you’ve been productive,””Lovich says.
Lovich sees remote work as a “win-win” for cmployees who get more flexibility and employers who can hire people from anywhere in the country or even the world. She views it as creating equality in terms of allowing small towns to attract talent and offering more opportunity for women to climb the corporate ladder without having to relocate their families, something that she says often takes a back seat in a dual-career houschold.
Companies that require a return to a fully on-site model could lose one in three employees.Lovich agrees that employers need to be careful. “It’s an employee’s market right now. The world is short of workers,and because of that we should really think about what we need and feel confident and courageous to speak up. And a lot of companies are getting that, and so it’s a real opportunity to either shape the place you work to be the place it needs to be or go someplace else that does,”Lovich says.“For decades,we’ve been contorting(扭曲)our lives to fit around work， and COVID-19 forced work to fit around lives．”
12. What does Alexia emphasize according to the text?
A. How to make virtual work go away soon.
B. How to create virtual work cooperatively.
C. How to combine virtual work with science.
D. How to find the best location for virtual work
13. Why do progressive organizations change their workplace culture?
A. To take control of the development of virtual work.
B. To compare company culture with firm leadership.
C. To make employees feel trusted and develop positively.
D. To persuade more companies to choose virtual work soon.
14. What does Lovich think of virtual work?
A. It is attractive to all employees. B. It is just beneficial to employers.
C. It is popular among small firms. D. It benefits both bosses and workers.
15 What does the author mainly want to tell us?
A. Virtual work is here to stay. B. Advantages of virtual work.
C. Be far away from flexibility. D. A“win-win“ change for business.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过列举Alexia Cambon和Lovich对于“远程工作”的看法，阐述了远程工作将继续存在。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Alexia also points out the importance of finding solutions for a whole team. “What COVID-19 taught us is that flex work cannot be for an individual. It has to be for the team,” she says. When the whole team is together online versus a whole team together in person,it works.”（Alexia还指出了为整个团队寻找解决方案的重要性。“COVID-19告诉我们，弹性工作不适合个人。必须是为了团队，”她说。“当整个团队在网上进行交流，而不是整个团队面对面交流时，效果会更好。”）可知，Alexia强调了整个团队找解决方案的重要性，即就是“如何合作创建远程工作的重要性”。B项“How to create virtual work cooperatively.”（如何合作创建远程工作。）符合原文表述，故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断通。根据文章第四段“Progressive organizations are also reconsidering their workplace culture. “They’re thinking about changing culture and leadership to be much more trust-based, impact-based, instead of input-based,like,I see you,so I think you’re productive,’ compared to, ‘Wow, I see what you’ve accomplished,and I know you’ve been productive,””Lovich says.”（进步组织也在重新考虑他们的工作场所文化。洛维奇说：“他们正在考虑改变文化和领导力，使之更加基于信任、基于影响，而不是基于投入，比如，我看到你了，所以我认为你很有效率，”相比之下，“哇，我看到了你所取得的成就，我知道你很有成效。”）可知，进步组织重现考虑工作场所文化，是想让文化基于信任、影响，而不是基于投入。所以推测，这是因为可以增强信任和促进积极发展。C项“To make employees feel trusted and develop positively.”（让员工感到信任并积极发展。）符合推断，故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Lovich sees remote work as a “win-win” for cmployees who get more flexibility and employers who can hire people from anywhere in the country or even the world. ”（洛维奇将远程工作视为一种“双赢”，既有更灵活的员工，也有可以从全国甚至世界任何地方雇佣员工的雇主。）可知，洛维奇认为远程工作对于老板和员工都有利。D项“It benefits both bosses and workers.”（这对老板和工人都有利。）符合原文表述，故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。浏览全文，根据文章中的“It’s uncertain when many offices may reopen, but it’s clear the virtual work revolution that began with the pandemic isn’t going away.”（许多办公室何时重新开放尚不确定，但很明显，始于疫情的远程工作革命不会消失。）可知，作者主要是想通过列举了Alexia Cambon和Lovich对于“远程工作”的看法，阐述了远程工作将继续存在。A项“Advantages of virtual work.”（远程工作工作将继续存在。）符合题干，故选A项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了小狗在草地上打滚的原因。
【16题详解】
根据“Is she cooling off? Is she just super happy?What could it be?(她在降温吗？她只是超级开心吗？这可能是什么？)”可知，空后提出了一些问题，说明空处为提出这些问题的原因，就是作者一直在想为什么小狗要在草地上打滚。C项“但我一直想知道她为什么这么做。”符合语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据“It’s important to remember how incredibly powerful your dog’s nose is. They are picking up on hundreds of subtle scents that we can’t even comprehend! Sometimes they want to enjoy a scent(气味) they’ve found in the grass and will roll around in it to do just that.(记住你的狗的鼻子有多么强大是很重要的。它们能捕捉到数百种我们甚法理解的微妙气味！有时，他们想享受在草地上发现的气味，并会在其中打滚，以达到这一目的)”可知，本段介绍他们在草地上打滚的原因之一是因为他们喜欢草地上发出的气味。B项“她喜欢闻一闻”适合作本段的主旨大意句。B项中的“enjoying a smell”和下文中的“enjoy a scent(气味)”相呼应。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据“She’s cooling off(她正在降温)”以及“It might even be a little wet from a sprinkler-the perfect place for your dog to cool off in.(洒水车甚至会让它有点湿，这是你的狗降温的理想场所)”可知，本段主要介绍小狗早草地上打滚的原因是因为天气热的时候，草地比较凉快。D项“如果天气特别热，那草可能会对你的狗特别有吸引力”符合语境。E项中的“ a particularly hot day”是前文中“ cooling off”的原因。故选D。

【19题详解】
根据“Some experts hold the view that dogs may roll in grass to cover their own scent.(一些专家认为，狗可能会在草地上打滚，以掩盖自己的气味)”可知，空处需要进一步说明为什么小狗需要在草地上打滚来掩盖自己气味的这一事实。F项“换言之，它们想闻到环境的味道，这样就不会吓跑猎物”符合语境。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据“I’m not sure about you, but now I’m even thinking about joining mine next time.(我对你不太确定，但现在我甚至在考虑下次也加入)”可知，本处总结狗狗在草地上玩的时候应该是她最开心的时光。G 项“如果你注意到你的狗在草地上打滚，那可能只是她有史以来最好的时光”符合语境。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。一个小女孩在和爸爸逛超市时，发现了一件手工编织的小物件，上面贴着一张纸条。原来这是一份送给捡到它的人的礼物。她的爸爸把这个发到网上以后，许多当地人都评论说他们在镇上也看到过这样的礼物。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：这个女孩和她的爸爸在超市闲逛时，她发现了一件她以为是“丢失”的东西。根据句意和句中的when可知，该题是考查固定句型：be doing...when...（某人正在做某事,这时……）；因为后面从句的时态是一般过去时，所以前面的be动词应该用was。故填was wandering。
37题详解】
考查介词。句意：但据《利物浦回声报》报道，很快人们就发现这是一份送给捡到它的人的礼物。根据句意和空格前的过去分词intended可知，此处是考查动词intend的用法be intended for（为……而准备）。故填for。
【38题详解】
考查可数名词单复数。句意：架子中间藏着一件手工编织的小物件，上面贴着一张纸条。根据句意和句中介词among以及所给可数名词shelf可知，空格处应该填入shelf的复数形式shelves。故填shelves。
【39题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：架子中间藏着一件手工编织的小物件，上面贴着一张纸条。根据句意和句中的介词with以及所给动词attach可知，此处是考查with复合结构：with+宾语+done/doing/to do，因为动词attach和note之间是被动关系，所以应该用过去分词作补足语。故填attached。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：女孩的父亲在Facebook的一个社区页面上写下了这一意外发现，他称这个陌生人是最好的人。根据句意分析句子可知，句中的find是名词，意义为“发现物”，所以空格处应该填入定冠词the用来特指上文小女孩发现的东西。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：女孩的父亲在Facebook的一个社区页面上写下了这一意外发现，他称这个陌生人是最好的人。根据句意分析句子可知，空格后的部分是一个定语从句，对先行词a community Facebook page进行限定说明，而关系词在后面定语从句中作的是地点状语。故填where。
【42题详解】
考查形容词的最高级。句意：女孩的父亲在Facebook的一个社区页面上写下了这一意外发现，他称这个陌生人是最好的人。根据句意和所给形容词good以及空格前的定冠词the可知，空格处应该填入good的最高级形式best，作定语修饰后面的kind。故填best。
【43题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：他发了一张针织礼物的照片，写道：“我女儿今天在超市发现了这个。一个人最好的品质就是能无私地让别人微笑”。根据句意和所给动词post分析句子可知，空格处只能填入post的非谓语形式作状语，因为动词post和句子主语he之间是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词作状语。故填Posting。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：他发了一张针织礼物的照片，写道：“我女儿今天在超市发现了这个。一个人最好的品质就是能无私地让别人微笑”。根据句意和所给形容词selfless可知，空格处应该填入selfless的副词形式selflessly作状语，修饰后面的动词make。故填selflessly。
【45题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：自从这张照片发布以来，已经被分享了数百次，许多当地人都评论说他们在镇上也看到过这样的礼物。根据句中的时间状语since it was posted可知，该句子应该用现在完成时；而句子的主语the picture和谓语动词share之间是被动关系，所以句子应该用现在完成时的被动语态，且根据主语the picture确定谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式。故填has been shared。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I grew up in a small town where the primary school was a ten-minute walk from my house. When the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me.
One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed (排练) my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白的) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her words, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine (藤蔓) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass in bunch, as if a painter had touched our landscape with gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled.
注意：1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好，不计入总词数。
Paragraph 1
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, encouraging and comforting me as usual.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
After the play, I took home the flower.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, encouraging and comforting me as usual. “You just haven’t been ready for the stage performance.” Seeing the sadness on my face soften a little, she added, “Why not take the narrator’s part as an opportunity to be familiar with the stage?” Her encouragement calmed me down gradually, and I began to accept the narrator’s part was of vital significance. Soon it was the big day. At first I was still nervous, but then I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, hoping it would be my lucky charm.
Paragraph 2
After the play, I took home the flower. Mom carefully gazed at the dandelion, gently pressed it into the dictionary and grinned happily at me. “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” Though decades have passed, I often recall our walk in the yard. Her smile and her words of wisdom have stayed with me and shaped me into who I am now! And this is perhaps the best gift that I’ve ever received in my life.
【解析】
