【原文】W: Have you ever flown on Virgin Atlantic Airways or used a Virgin mobile phone? If so, you have put a few more dollars in Richard Branson’s pocket. Born in Britain in 1950, Richard is a world-famous businessman. He’s best known for his bravery. He is exciting and has never been afraid to take a risk. Richard didn’t have an ordinary teenage life. His difficulty with reading and writing made school a constant struggle. However, he started a national magazine called Student when he was only 16 years old. At 17, he decided to set up a student advisory center to help other young people. Richard started the now-famous Virgin brand in the music industry in 1970. He began by opening a mail-order company that sold records of discount prices. Two years later, he built a recording studio and took chances on new musicians that no other recording companies would sign. In 1992, Richard sold Virgin Records for one billion dollars. By then, he had moved into many other industries, including publishing and air travel.

In the blue-green depths of the sea off the coast of Tuscany, Italy, an unusual seafloor sculpture park is defending its watery setting.
Paolo Fanciulli has been heading out daily to fish in these coastal waters along the coastline since teens. It was in the 1980s that he began to notice the clear signs: a seabed that was becoming barren, with exhausted fish stocks. Until recently, he was forced to share catches with a threatening part: illegal “bottom trawlers(拖网捕 鱼的人)”, who randomly spoil a large quantity of ocean life as they fish, dragging a weighted net along the seafloor behind their boats.
Fanciulli＇s style of artisanal fishing(手工捕鱼), in contrast, needs to be sustainable as damaging the ecosystem could reduce fishermen’s income. “If the sea dies, so does the fisherman. You can’t just take; you have to give too, ” said Fanciulli. The underwater “House of Fish” sculpture park, which was started in 2015, was encouraged by this fisherman’s desire to do something that went beyond the handful of concrete blocks he had previously convinced local authorities and some environmental groups to drop into the sea to try and stop illegal trawling.
Concrete blocks or sculptures can break weighted trawler nets. They can also play a role as artificial reefs, giving corals and others a place to live, and varying shade and lighting to help species flourish. Thanks to the underwater sculptures, some species not seen in a long while such as groupers and lobsters have returned. The sculpture park represents both an artistic statement and a physical barrier to seafloor trawling.
Today, 39 huge, other-worldly stone sculptures dot the seabed along a stretch of Tuscan coastline near the town of Talamone. These artworks are already coated with algae(海藻), a sign that the natural habitat is coming back to life. In the immediate future, Fanciulli hopes to continue his beautiful solution in coastal waters. “Man is still destroying the seas, ” he says. “And my mission continues. ”
24. How do illegal bottom trawlers threaten the ocean?
A. By harming massive sea life at will.
B. By hooking great quantities of fish.
C. By covering the sea floor with a net.
D. By competing with artisanal fishers.
25. Why did Fanciulli want to build the underwater sculpture park?
A. To convince local authorities.
B. To maintain the ecosystem of the sea.
C. To save the marine life from extinction.
D. To boost the development of local tourism.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The process of building sculpture parks.
B. The results of banning seafloor trawling.
C. The damaging effects of trawling on sea life.
D. The functions of sculpture parks under the sea.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Fanciulli has stopped illegal trawling in Tuscany.
B. A better solution is found to handle the ocean crisis.
C The ocean ecosystem environment in Tuscany is recovering.
D. More underwater sculptures will be built around the world.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在意大利托斯卡纳海岸附近的海底深处，一个不同寻常的海底雕塑公园正静静地守护着大海。让我们一起来看看艺术建筑与水生生态系统是如何合作的吧！
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Until recently, he was forced to share catches with a threatening part: illegal “bottom trawlers”, who randomly spoil a large quantity of ocean life as they fish, dragging a weighted net along the seafloor behind their boats.”（直到最近，他还被迫与一个具有威胁性的部分——非法的“海底拖网渔船”分享渔获物。这些渔船在捕鱼时随意破坏了大量海洋生物，他们在船后的海底拖着加重的渔网。）可知，非法海底拖网渔船通过随意伤害大量海洋生物来威胁海洋。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fanciulli’s style of artisanal fishing(手工捕鱼), in contrast, needs to be sustainable as damaging the ecosystem could reduce fishermen’s income.”（相比之下，Fanciulli的手工捕鱼方式需要可持续，因为破坏生态系统可能会减少渔民的收入。）以及“The underwater “House of Fish” sculpture park, which was started in 2015, was encouraged by this fisherman’s desire to do something that went beyond the handful of concrete blocks he had previously convinced local authorities and some environmental groups to drop into the sea to try and stop illegal trawling.”（“鱼之家”水下雕塑公园于2015年启动，受到这位渔民的鼓励，他希望做一些事情，而不仅仅是他之前说服当地政府和一些环保组织投进海里试图阻止非法拖网捕鱼的几块混凝土积木。）可知，当海洋生态系统遭到破坏时，Fanciulli这种手工捕鱼的工作也会受到影响，因此他曾说服当地政府和一些环保组织将少量混凝土块扔进海里，试图阻止非法拖网捕捞，并且还想做出更多的尝试，于是在2015年的时候水下“鱼之家”雕塑公园建成了。这些行为都是为了保护海洋的生态系统。故选B项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Concrete blocks or sculptures can break weighted trawler nets. They can also play a role as artificial reefs, giving corals and others a place to live, and varying shade and lighting to help species flourish. Thanks to the underwater sculptures, some species not seen in a long while such as groupers and lobsters have returned.”（混凝土块或雕塑可以打破加重的拖网。它们还可以扮演人工珊瑚礁的角色，为珊瑚和其他生物提供生存的地方，并提供不同的阴影和照明，帮助物种繁荣发展。多亏了这些水下雕塑，一些许久未见的物种，如石斑鱼和龙虾，又回来了。）可知，海底雕塑不仅可以破坏拖网捕捞的网，还可以充当人工鱼礁，为珊瑚等海洋生物提供栖息地，促进物种的繁衍生息。因此推断本段主要介绍雕塑公园在水下发挥的作用。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“These artworks are already coated with algae(海藻), a sign that the natural habitat is coming back to life.”（这些艺术品已经被藻类覆盖，这是自然栖息地正在恢复生机的标志。）故可推知，从最后一段可以推断出托斯卡纳的海洋生态环境正在恢复。故选C项。
C
It is a debate that has divided Italy-and the social media-right in the middle. The advice by one of Italy’s top ranking physicists to save gas by turning it off when cooking pasta (意大利面) has brought about anger and protest from pasta lovers and chefs alike.
In a video shared to social media, Giorgio Parisi, who won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics for his groundbreaking contributions in quantum (量子) theory, recently recommended that Italians add pasta to a pan of boiling water, bring it to the boil, wait two minutes, put a lid on, and then shut off the gas.
Parisi suggested that “at least eight minutes of energy consumption” is saved by using this method. “The most important thing is to keep the lid on, “ he added. “A lot of heat is lost through evaporation (蒸发). Shortly after boiling the pasta, turn off the gas, so that it boils very little without consuming energy. ”
What followed next was widespread outrage in Italy. Many Italians, who take their pasta seriously, expressed disbelief that someone-even if that is a remarkable Nobel winner-would dare suggest something as strange about a beloved national dish.
Many chefs joined the chorus, strongly contesting the theory. Local Italian press quoted multiple pasta makers, chefs and cooking experts as saying that pasta cooked by turning the heat off once the water is brought to the boil would turn it sticky and rubbery. Italy’s noted chef Luigi Pomata was quoted by media as saying: “It would be a disaster. Let’s leave cooking to chefs while physicists do experiments in their lab. ”
Most restaurants also talked back, contradicting the possibility, with the common concern being that Parisi’s suggestion would compromise the flavour of pasta—a product firmly rooted in Italian culture. Spaghetti, Macaroni, Bow ties, Penne and Ziti are some of the more popular pasta varieties globally.
28. What did Parisi suggest Italians doing to save energy as they cook pasta?
A. Removing the lid in time. B. Boiling the water only once.
C. Switching off gas in advance. D. Speeding up the evaporation.
29. What does the underlined words “joined the chorus” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Entered the competition. B. Ignored the warning.
C. Performed the symphony. D. Voiced the same opinion.
30. Why did restaurants oppose Parisi’s idea?
A. They thought it was strange to do so.
B. They feared it would affect the taste of pasta.
C. They hoped to keep traditional varieties of pasta.
D. They didn’t want to change their way of cooking.
31. What is the text?
A. A cooking recipe. B. A news report.
C. A science research. D. An advertisement.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了近日，意大利德高望重的诺贝尔物理学奖得主帕里西(Giorgio Parisi)意外卷入舆论场，起因是他在社交媒体中分享自己对于节能的小技巧，呼吁意大利民众利用水烧开后的余温来煮意大利面，最大程度地减少燃气的使用。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In a video shared to social media, Giorgio Parisi, who won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics for his groundbreaking contributions in quantum theory, recently recommended that Italians add pasta to a pan of boiling water, bring it to the boil, wait two minutes, put a lid on, and then shut off the gas.”（在社交媒体上分享的一段视频中，因在量子理论方面的开创性贡献而获得2021年诺贝尔物理学奖的乔治·帕里西(Giorgio Parisi)最近建议意大利人在一锅沸水中加入意大利面，煮沸，等待两分钟，盖上盖子，然后关闭煤气。）可知，帕里西建议意大利人在煮意大利面时通过提前关掉煤气来节约能源。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“The advice by one of Italy’s top ranking physicists to save gas by turning it off when cooking pasta (意大利面) has brought about anger and protest from pasta lovers and chefs alike.”（意大利一位顶级物理学家建议煮意大利面时关掉煤气以节省汽油，这一建议引起了意大利面爱好者和厨师的愤怒和抗议。）可知，包括厨师在内的意大利民众对Parisi的建议并不买账。且第五段划线词后紧跟着的伴随状语“strongly contesting the theory”也说明厨师和意大利民众观点一致，反对这一建议。因此D选项“Voiced the same opinion”与划线词在意思上更为接近，且chorus这个词本身也有“异口同声(表示批评、反对或赞扬)”的意思。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Most restaurants also talked back, contradicting the possibility, with the common concern being that Parisi’s suggestion would compromise the flavour of pasta—a product firmly rooted in Italian culture.”（大多数餐馆也反驳了这种可能性，他们普遍担心帕里西的建议会损害意大利面的味道，而意大利面是一种根植于意大利文化的产品。）可知，餐厅反驳帕里西的主要原因是他们认为这样做会影响传统意大利面的口感。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。文章首段介绍意大利诺贝尔物理学奖得主帕里西有关煮意大利面的建议引起了舆论风波，随后具体解释了帕里西的建议，以及意大利民众、厨师、餐厅等对他这一建议的态度，符合新闻报道的倒金字塔结构。故选B项。
D
Human language is made possible by an impressive gift for vocal learning. Most animals cannot learn to imitate sounds at all. Though some species can learn how to use natural sounds in new ways, they don’t show a similar ability to learn new calls. Among all nonhuman vocal learners across the branches of life, the most impressive are birds.
“I wouldn’t say they have language in the way linguistic experts define it, ” says the neuroscientist Erich Jarvis. “But I would say they have a primitive form of what we might call spoken language. ”
Birdsong appears to have a lot in common with human speech, such as conveying information intentionally and using simple forms of some of the elements of human language. One key element of human language is semantics, the connection of words with meanings. Over the past four decades, numerous studies have shown that many bird species use different alarm calls for different attackers. Recent studies suggest that the order of some birds’ calls may impact their meaning. This could represent a primary form of the rules governing the order and combination of words and elements in human language known as syntax, as illustrated by the classic “dog bites man” vs “man bites dog” example.
And the parallels run deeper, including similar brain structures that are not shared by species without vocal learning. Jarvis and his team have tried to compare the brain structures in songbirds and humans. “I think we humans tend to overestimate how different we are, ” he says. What has happened is that humans and songbirds have evolved a new forebrain circuit for learned sounds that has taken control of the brain stem circuit for natural sounds. “There is an assumption that species more closely related to us (e. g. monkeys) are going to be most like us. And that is true for many features, ” he says. “But, as you see, this is not true for every feature. ”
With all these similarities in mind, it’s reasonable to ask if birds themselves have language. It may come down to how you define it. But anyway, when the story of the evolution of language is finally complete, be prepared to thank the birds.
32. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To show different capacities for imitating sounds.
B. To illustrate the major features of vocal learning.
C. To imply the uniqueness of birds as vocal learners.
D. To explain the origin of species differences.
33. What can we learn about birdsong from the third paragraph?
A. It is superior to human language.
B. It lacks meaningful order of calls.
C. It has evolved from human speech.
D. It shows certain grammatical features.
34. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Evolved brain circuit paves the way for vocal learning.
B. Humans possess biological uniqueness in vocal learning.
C. Closely related species are less likely to share parallels.
D. Circuit for natural sounds disables new call learning.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Bird Brains Suggest How Vocal Learning Evolved
B. Birds Are Stretching the Boundaries of Language
C. Human Speech and Birdsong Share Biological Roots
D. Human Speech Could Have Evolved from Birdsong
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从有意信息传递、语义和句法、大脑特定部位结构等方面将鸟鸣和人类语言进行了比较，最后得出结论：鸟鸣是否属于语言，取决于人类如何定义语言。但无论如何，对鸟类鸣唱的研究在一定程度上增进了人类对于语言进化的理解。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Human language is made possible by an impressive gift for vocal learning. Most animals cannot learn to imitate sounds at all. Though some species can learn how to use natural sounds in new ways, they don’t show a similar ability to learn new calls. Among all nonhuman vocal learners across the branches of life, the most impressive are birds.”（人类语言之所以成为可能，是因为有一种令人印象深刻的学习声音的天赋。大多数动物根本学不会模仿声音。虽然一些物种可以学习如何以新的方式使用自然声音，但它们并没有表现出类似的学习新叫声的能力。在所有非人类的发声学习者中，最令人印象深刻的是鸟类。）可知，人类因可以进行语音学习(vocal learning)而独特。而像人类一样具有这种能力的物种也有，但鸟类是这些物种中最突出的。因此，本段行文循序渐进，是为了引出鸟类与其他物种相比，在语音学习方面最具独特性这一观点。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Birdsong appears to have a lot in common with human speech, such as conveying information intentionally and using simple forms of some of the elements of human language.

This could represent a primary form of the rules governing the order and combination of words and elements in human language known as syntax, as illustrated by the classic “dog bites man” vs “man bites dog” example.”（鸟鸣似乎与人类语言有很多共同之处，比如有意地传达信息，使用人类语言中一些元素的简单形式。人类语言的一个关键因素是语义，即单词与意义的联系。在过去的四十年里，大量的研究表明，许多鸟类对不同的攻击者使用不同的警报。最近的研究表明，一些鸟类叫声的顺序可能会影响它们的意思。这可能代表了一种主要形式的规则，即控制人类语言中单词和元素的顺序和组合，即语法，如经典的“狗咬人”和“人咬狗”的例子所示。）可知，鸟鸣在语义(semantics)和句法(syntax)等方面与人类语言具有共性。因此，鸟鸣呈现出一定的语法特征。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“And the parallels run deeper, including similar brain structures that are not shared by species without vocal learning. -. What has happened is that humans and songbirds have evolved a new forebrain circuit for learned sounds that has taken control of the brain stem circuit for natural sounds.”（而且这种相似之处还更深层次，包括没有声乐学习的物种所不具有的相似的大脑结构。贾维斯和他的团队试图比较鸣禽和人类的大脑结构。“我认为我们人类倾向于高估我们之间的差异，”他说。事实是，人类和鸣禽已经进化出了一种新的前脑回路，用于学习声音，它已经控制了脑干回路，用于自然声音。）可知，鸟类和人类具有一些更深层次的共性(parallels)，包括相似的大脑结构：一种新的用于进行语音学习的前脑回路, 代替了控制先天声音的脑干回路。这是那些无法进行语音学习的物种所不具备的。因此, 进化后的脑回路为语音学习创造了条件。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“With all these similarities in mind, it’s reasonable to ask if birds themselves have language. It may come down to how you define it. But anyway, when the story of the evolution of language is finally complete, be prepared to thank the birds.”（考虑到所有这些相似之处，我们有理由问鸟类自己是否有语言。这可能取决于你如何定义它。但无论如何，当语言进化的故事最终完成时，准备好感谢鸟类吧。）可知，文章从人类语言的独特性出发, 接着从语义和句法、大脑结构等方面将鸟鸣和人类语言进行了类比，挖掘出许多共性。最后得出结论：鸟鸣是否属于语言，取决于人类如何定义语言。但无论如何，对鸟类鸣唱的研究在一定程度上增进了人类对于语言进化的理解。据此，“鸟类在不断扩展语言的边界”是最佳标题。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了艺术家Matilda Browne的个人经历以及成就，和她默默无名的原因。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Matilda Browne showed promising artistic talent early in her life. Growing up in Newark, New Jersey, she got an introduction to art by watching her neighbor, painter Thomas Moran. Her parents supported their budding young artist.(玛蒂尔达·布朗早年就表现出了很有前途艺术才华。她在新泽西州的纽瓦克长大，通过观察她的邻居，画家托马斯·莫兰，她开始接触艺术。她的父母支持他们崭露头角的年轻艺术家)”以及后文“And it paid off. Matilda Browne participated in her first major exhibition when she was just twelve years old.(这样做得到了回报。玛蒂尔达·布朗在12岁的时候参加了她的第一次大型展览)”可知，本段讲述了 Matilda Browne小时候接受的画画方面的启蒙及支持，本句旨在说明哪种行为最后取得了回报。故F选项“她很小的时候，她妈妈就带她去欧洲训练”符合语境，故选F。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Browne loved to paint animals, especially cows and other animals.(布朗喜欢画动物，尤其是牛和其他动物)”可知，这一段介绍她的绘画风格。从D选项中的“also”可知, 这是她风格中的另一个方面。故D选项“她还画了许多在丰富多彩的花园风景中的花”符合语境，故选D。
【38题详解】
根据后文“She even had the honor of painting a door of their workshop. Some sources say that her good sense of humor helped her fit in with the boys, while others claim that her seriousness is what won them over.(她甚至有幸为他们的工作间画了一扇门。有消息称，她的幽默感帮助她与男孩们打成一片，而另一些人则声称，她的认真是赢得男孩们好感的原因)”可知，后文提到她的幽默感帮助她与男孩们打成一片，说明她被男性艺术家圈子接纳了，故A选项“她是那里男性艺术家圈子里唯一被接纳的女性”符合语境，故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Some sources say that her good sense of humor helped her fit in with the boys, while others claim that her seriousness is what won them over.(有消息称，她的幽默感帮助她与男孩们打成一片，而另一些人则声称，她的认真是赢得男孩们好感的原因)”可知，人们对 Matilda Browne 被接纳进入男性艺术家圈子进行两方面原因的猜测，本句为本段最后一句，进行总结：但无论猜测如何，真正使她获得关注的是她的才华。故G选项“不管怎样，她高超的绘画技巧引起了其他艺术家的注意”符合语境，故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文“So, why has Browne faded into being unknown?(那么，为什么布朗变得默默无闻了呢？)”以及后文“She was American, while books about American Impressionists tend to focus on the male artists.(她是美国人，而关于美国印象派的书往往集中在男性艺术家身上)”可知，此空和后一句分析 Matilda Browne从那个时代的闻名到如今的默默无闻的原因。故E选项“这可能是由于她在性别和国籍上的双重少数群体”符合语境，故选E。

【答案】Dear Jim,
Delighted to know that you are fascinated by our activity called “Learning From Farmers”, I’m writing to tell you some relevant details.
Last Friday, we joined in the activity organized by our school. Upon arriving at the farm, we were deeply attracted by the local rural landscape. Under the precise instruction of experienced farmers, we learned to perform various tasks such as helping the owner of a farm to plant trees, sowing seeds in rows and feeding ducks. Contentment replaced the tiredness when we completed the tasks.
Everyone of us considered the activity both meaningful and rewarding, for we not only gained knowledge of farming but also had a better understanding of nature.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Learning to Dribble(运球)
I was the new kid in town. New home. New city. New state. And new school. My dad got a new job, and we had packed up our lives and moved from our old home, school, friends and everything. We moved over summer vacation, so I didn’t have to deal with school right away. We’d landed in southern Florida, and we were total strangers.
Summer whizzed by while we unpacked, arranged furniture, found stores we liked, and adjusted to the sunshine state with its palm trees and canals everywhere.
I felt anxious about school as I was not an adventurous girl. My head was full of fears and worries. Would I make friends? Would I fit in? Would I survive in this strange new world? Shy and quiet, I read a lot and did not make friends easily. I loved learning. I loved reading. I even loved homework. Loving books and reading helped me get good grades. Teachers loved that about me. Even a brand-new group of teachers.
Other kids, though, didn’t like me getting top grades, answering questions in class or being delighted with school. I did not win popularity contests. But I couldn’t stop being me-loving to read and learn. I felt like a total failure. I tried not to be discouraged.
Then one day, a tall, athletic boy in English class strode right over to me. He introduced himself as being on the school basketball team. It dawned on me that he was James, the captain!
“Hey, ” he said. “You do really well in English class. Do you think you could help me?”
Yes, oh, yes, definitely yes. I could, and I would. We sealed the deal with an exchange of smiles.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
From that moment on , life at school changed for me. Players of the school basketball team asked me to help them out. I sat on the stand during their practice and did lessons. I taught the guys about subject-verb agreement and the correct use of tenses. They taught me how to dribble a basketball and that being smart could be a real blessing-which I could use to help others. All the girls were jealous, but they weren’t mean about it. Nobody gave me trouble about being smart anymore. I was the team tutor and I fit in.
I was thankful to be smart enough to help the team. I was forever grateful for the basketball team captain who helped me to change my life at school. Though I was only five feet tall, I walked the halls feeling as tall as those towering basketball players who helped me to fit in-in a new state, new city, new school. They gave me courage and confidence to be myself-and to be a short girl who really knew how to dribble a basketball!
