Growing up in Tanzania, Abdulrazak Gurnah never thought of the possibility that he might one day be a writer. “I never thought about that,” he said in an interview. “It wasn’t something you could say as you were growing up, ‘I want to be a writer.’ “He thought he would become “something useful, like an engineer.”
Then, in 1964, something terrible forced Gurnah, at age 18, to run away to England. But the new life was not as good as he thought. Unhappy, poor, homesick, he began to write down things about home in his diary, and then longer writings, then stories about other people. Those small thoughts, the habit of writing to understand and record his own loneliness, finally became his first novel, then nine more — works that describe the pain of colonialism （殖民） and war. “The key thing that helps the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world, “he said.
On October 7, 2021, Gurnah was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, widely seen as the most famous literary award in the world. His works talked about refugees（难民） and their living conditions. These books help us learn more about differences in culture and countries.
Gurnah, now 72, is the first black writer to receive the prize since Toni Morrison in 1993, and some people saw. his selection（当选） as a good thing after years of European and American Nobel winners. He is the first African to win the award in more than ten years.
23. How many Gurnah’s works are mentioned in the article?
A. Nine. B. Ten. C. Eighteen. D. Seventy-two.
24. What plays the most important role in Gurnah’s writing experience?
A. His early thought of being an engineer. B. His unhappy life experiences in England.
C. His habit of writing and recording stories. D. His feeling of losing his place in the world.
25. What can we know about Gurnah’s works?
A. They talk about his career. B. They record the Nobel winners.
C. They show cultural differences. D. They introduce different awards.

“Have you ever heard Louis say good morning and good night to us, as the others do?”
“Since you mention it, I never have,” said the husband. “Goodness! What are you getting at? Do you wish me to believe that I have a son who is dumb in any way? This would worry me. I want everything to go well in my family life. Fatherhood is hard. I do not want the added stress of having a dumb child.”
“Well,” said the wife, “I’ve been watching Louis recently. I think the little guy can’t talk. I’ve never heard him make one sound. I think he came into the world lacking (缺失) a voice. If he had a voice, he’d use it, same as the others do.”
“Why, this is terrible!” said the husband. “This is painful. This is a very serious matter.” His wife looked at him. “It’s not too serious now,” she said. “But it will be serious two or three years from now when Louis falls in love, as he will surely do. A young male swan will be greatly handicapped in finding a mate if he can’t say the usual sweet words to the young female of his choice.”
The husband stood quietly, thinking about what his wife had just told him. He was a brave bird, and already he was beginning to work out a plan for his little son Louis.
“If it’s really true that Louis has no voice,” said the husband to himself, “then I shall provide him with a device (装置) of some kind, to enable him to make a lot of noise. There must be some way out of this difficulty. After all, my son is Trumpeter Swan; he should have a voice like a trumpet (小号). But first I will test him to make certain that what his mother says is true.”
(Taken from The Trumpet of the Swan)
26. How did the husband feel after hearing his wife’s words in Paragraph 2?
A. Amazed and excited. B. Curious and serious.
C. Painful and hopeful. D. Surprised and worried.
27. What does the underlined part “be greatly handicapped” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Have much trouble. B. Have great fun.
C. Be quite uninterested. D. Be very successful.
28. What is the swan couple’s talk mainly about?
A. The dream about Louis’s future. B. The plan for Louis’s education.
C. The problem with Louis’s health. D. The suggestion on Louis’s growth.
D
Hello, I’m Rob. Welcome to our programme. Today we’re talking about high-speed train travel. Many countries have very fast trains that transport people from city to city in super-quick time. Yes, high-speed train travel is becoming popular. Well, we’ll be finding out why the UK is hoping to do something that is already popular by building a new high-speed rail line.
We know that high-speed train travel has many good things. It helps to take traffic off the road, it causes less pollution, it can move lots of people and it’s quick. Yes, speed is important. Now, the TGV train in France takes about three hours to travel over 750 kilometres from Paris to Marseille in the south - very impressive.
But the UK has been slow to build high-speed rail lines. It has one from London to Paris, but the Transport Secretary, Patrick McLoughlin, thinks one line is not good enough. People can go from London to Paris on high-speed trains, but can’t go from London to Birmingham. That means you can get to Paris by train more quickly than you can travel to many British cities. The government wants to build another one — called HS2 — connecting London to the middle and north of England.
But not everyone agrees to the plan and there is much discussion. Some say it will be very expensive to build, although some experts（专家）say for every 1 pound spent, it will bring 2 pounds back. There are also worries that some of the countrysides will be destroyed. It could be a long time before a final decision is made. So now we’ll just have to accept that our trains in the UK will carry on at an unhurried speed while we watch with envy as another country’s high-speed train passes us by!
Thank you. We hope you’ve enjoyed today’s programme.
29. What is the type of the programme?
A. A news review. B. A drama series. C. A chat show. D. A weekly round-up.
30. Why does Rob mention the TGV train in paragraph 2?
A. To explain how it works. B. To show how fast it travels.
C. To report how far it goes. D. To prove how famous it is.
31. What can we infer from the article about the high-speed train travel in the UK?
A. It is slow. B. It is expensive. C. It falls behind. D. It becomes popular.
32. What does the host think of building a new rail line in the UK?
A. It will be completed soon. B. It is not a good idea.
C. It destroys the environment. D. It may take a long time.

Reading is often a lonely activity. This means that except for the times when your teacher reads to you, or you are part of a book group that discusses what you are reading, it is usually done alone. However, reciting（朗诵）a poem is different. ____33____
It’s important to recite poems because it gives you confidence and helps with your reading. When you are very interested in reciting poems, performing（表演）them is like acting in a theatre.
____34____ Once you have picked a poem, you don’t need to remember it. ____35____ You don’t have to worry about forgetting the words.
Before performing, spend plenty of time practising the poem and getting to know the words’ rhythms（节律）. Try not to stop at the end of every line. ____36____ With a lot of poems, you’re discovering the words as you go along. To the listener, it’s a journey of discovery you’ve started on with words.
____37____ The key to dealing with it is to realize that everyone feels that way, and those who perform well have learned to face it. Remember the more you perform, the easier it gets.
A. It brings them alive.
B. Don’t be afraid of reciting a poem.
C. Just read from a book when you perform.
D. Many people might be worried about feeling nervous.
E. Get the sense of the poem as a whole, not just the words.
F. You can ask your teacher if you can recite a poem to your class.
G. It is the perfect way to share with your friends a piece of work you love.

As he worked hard cutting stones, he saw a businessman pass by and thought, “How I wish I were as powerful as that man!” Suddenly, the stonecutter was changed into a powerful businessman. Others now envied him.
One hot day, as the man walked around the town watching all that he owned, he became angry with the strength of the sun’s rays, “How I wish I were as powerful as the sun!” he thought, and suddenly he became the sun, burning others with his heat.
Then one day a dark cloud crossed under him. Rain poured down and the wind blew, limiting the sun’s power over others. “How I wish I were as powerful as the storm!” he thought, and he became a storm with rain and wind. People were afraid of his great power, but when he blew against a huge rock, the rock didn’t move. “How I wish I were as powerful as that rock!” he thought, and in a moment he became the rock.
Not long afterward, he heard a hammering(锤打的)sound and felt a part of himself change. “What could be more powerful than me, the rock?” he wondered.

A. after B. if C. when D. until
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：只有亲身经历过，你才会知道我站在泰山之巅时的感受。
考查连词辨析。after在……以后；if如果；when当……时候；until直到。根据“You can never know how I felt when I stood at the top of Mount Tai...you have the same experience yourself”可知此处是指只有亲身经历过，才会有“我”这样的感受。固定结构not...until“直到……才……”，故选D。
2. —Amy looks sad. Why don’t you go to talk to her?
—She is mad at me right now. I’m afraid ________ I say will do any good.
A. everything B. something C. anything D. nothing
【答案】D
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：——Amy看起来很伤心。你为什么不去和她谈一谈呢？——她现在正在生我的气。我恐怕什么都不说会好一些。
考查代词辨析。everything每件事，一切；something某物，某事；anything任何事物，任何事情；nothing没有什么。根据语境可知Amy这时正在生“我”的气，“我”说的话她听不进去，故而什么都不说会好一些。故选D。
3. —Remember what the doctor said? You ________ take more than two spoons of medicine at a time.
—I know that, Mum. Three is harmful.
A. mustn’t B. needn’t C. wouldn’t D. couldn’t
【答案】A

考查情态动词。mustn’t不准；needn’t不需要；wouldn’t不会；couldn’t不能。根据“You...take more than two spoons of medicine at a time.”可知是不准一次吃两匙以上的药，故选A。
4. It is the language that ________ the way I see things, express ideas, and understand the world.
A. fights B. limits C. shapes D. loses
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：正是语言塑造了我看待事物、表达思想和理解世界的方式。

Then, in 1964, something terrible forced Gurnah, at age 18, to run away to England. But the new life was not as good as he thought. Unhappy, poor, homesick, he began to write down things about home in his diary, and then longer writings, then stories about other people. Those small thoughts, the habit of writing to understand and record his own loneliness, finally became his first novel, then nine more — works that describe the pain of colonialism （殖民） and war. “The key thing that helps the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world, “he said.
On October 7, 2021, Gurnah was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, widely seen as the most famous literary award in the world. His works talked about refugees（难民） and their living conditions. These books help us learn more about differences in culture and countries.

“Have you ever heard Louis say good morning and good night to us, as the others do?”
“Since you mention it, I never have,” said the husband. “Goodness! What are you getting at? Do you wish me to believe that I have a son who is dumb in any way? This would worry me. I want everything to go well in my family life. Fatherhood is hard. I do not want the added stress of having a dumb child.”
“Well，” said the wife, “I’ve been watching Louis recently. I think the little guy can’t talk. I’ve never heard him make one sound. I think he came into the world lacking (缺失) a voice. If he had a voice, he’d use it, same as the others do.”
“Why, this is terrible!” said the husband. “This is painful. This is a very serious matter.” His wife looked at him. “It’s not too serious now,” she said. “But it will be serious two or three years from now when Louis falls in love, as he will surely do. A young male swan will be greatly handicapped in finding a mate if he can’t say the usual sweet words to the young female of his choice.”
The husband stood quietly, thinking about what his wife had just told him. He was a brave bird, and already he was beginning to work out a plan for his little son Louis.
“If it’s really true that Louis has no voice,” said the husband to himself, “then I shall provide him with a device (装置) of some kind, to enable him to make a lot of noise. There must be some way out of this difficulty. After all, my son is Trumpeter Swan; he should have a voice like a trumpet (小号). But first I will test him to make certain that what his mother says is true.”
(Taken from The Trumpet of the Swan)

A. Have much trouble. B. Have great fun.
C. Be quite uninterested. D. Be very successful.

【答案】26. D 27. A 28. C
【解析】

【27题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“if he can’t say the usual sweet words to the young female of his choice”可知无法对心仪的雌天鹅说寻常的甜言蜜语，会很难找到配偶，be greatly handicapped意为“有很多麻烦”。故选A。
【28题详解】

Hello, I’m Rob. Welcome to our programme. Today we’re talking about high-speed train travel. Many countries have very fast trains that transport people from city to city in super-quick time. Yes, high-speed train travel is becoming popular. Well, we’ll be finding out why the UK is hoping to do something that is already popular by building a new high-speed rail line.
We know that high-speed train travel has many good things. It helps to take traffic off the road, it causes less pollution, it can move lots of people and it’s quick. Yes, speed is important. Now, the TGV train in France takes about three hours to travel over 750 kilometres from Paris to Marseille in the south - very impressive.
But the UK has been slow to build high-speed rail lines. It has one from London to Paris, but the Transport Secretary, Patrick McLoughlin, thinks one line is not good enough. People can go from London to Paris on high-speed trains, but can’t go from London to Birmingham. That means you can get to Paris by train more quickly than you can travel to many British cities. The government wants to build another one — called HS2 — connecting London to the middle and north of England.
But not everyone agrees to the plan and there is much discussion. Some say it will be very expensive to build, although some experts（专家）say for every 1 pound spent, it will bring 2 pounds back. There are also worries that some of the countrysides will be destroyed. It could be a long time before a final decision is made. So now we’ll just have to accept that our trains in the UK will carry on at an unhurried speed while we watch with envy as another country’s high-speed train passes us by!
Thank you. We hope you’ve enjoyed today’s programme.
29. What is the type of the programme?
A. A news review. B. A drama series. C. A chat show. D. A weekly round-up.
30. Why does Rob mention the TGV train in paragraph 2?
A. To explain how it works. B. To show how fast it travels.
C. To report how far it goes. D. To prove how famous it is.
31. What can we infer from the article about the high-speed train travel in the UK?
A. It is slow. B. It is expensive. C. It falls behind. D. It becomes popular.
32. What does the host think of building a new rail line in the UK?
A. It will be completed soon. B. It is not a good idea.
C. It destroys the environment. D. It may take a long time.
【答案】29. A 30. B 31. C 32. D

【详解】固定结构neither...nor...“既不……也不……”。change one’s mind“改变想法”，是固定短语。her“她的”。结合语境可知句子时态是一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数，动词用三单形式。故填neither；changes；her；mind。

51. 那人彻夜未眠，不知道该不该说出真相。
The man lay awake all night wondering ________________________ tell the truth.
【答案】①. whether##if ②. he ③. should
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】“不知道”也表示“是否”，译为whether/if，主语“The man”用he代替，“应该”用should表示。故填whether/if；he；should。
52. 这些孩子所做的事情已经远远超出了我们的想象。
What the children did ________________________ beyond our imagination.
【答案】①. has ②. gone ③. far
【解析】
【详解】分析句意可知句子时态是现在完成时，基本结构为：have/has+done。固定短语go far beyond“远远超出了”。go的过去分词为gone，主语为第三人称单数，助动词用has。故填has；gone；far。

Long ago, there lived a man who worked as a humble(卑微的)stonecutter. He was not happy with his job or his position in life. As he worked hard cutting stones, he saw a businessman pass by and thought, “How I wish I were as powerful as that man!” Suddenly, the stonecutter was changed into a powerful businessman. Others now envied him.
One hot day, as the man walked around the town watching all that he owned, he became angry with the strength of the sun’s rays, “How I wish I were as powerful as the sun!” he thought, and suddenly he became the sun, burning others with his heat.
Then one day a dark cloud crossed under him. Rain poured down and the wind blew, limiting the sun’s power over others. “How I wish I were as powerful as the storm!” he thought, and he became a storm with rain and wind. People were afraid of his great power, but when he blew against a huge rock, the rock didn’t move. “How I wish I were as powerful as that rock!” he thought, and in a moment he became the rock.
Not long afterward, he heard a hammering(锤打的)sound and felt a part of himself change. “What could be more powerful than me, the rock?” he wondered.

【答案】例文
My story of not giving up
Life is filled with difficulties, but it’s not the reason why we should give up easily. I think we should face them bravely and find ways to deal with them.
I remember I had difficulty learning English in Grade 7. I always failed my English exams. However, I didn’t give up. Instead, I tried to learn it. I thought I could learn it if I put in more efforts. So I began to listen to the teacher carefully in class and do lots of English exercises after class. When I couldn’t work out some of the answers, I asked my teacher for help. Slowly, I started to make some progress. I was so happy. Now I can pass all my English exams and sometimes I can get good grades. I feel proud of myself.
In a word, when we have difficulties, we shouldn’t easily give up. Instead, we should do our best to deal with them and then we will succeed.
