Miss the summer days? There are many unusual water attractions that you can find around the world.
Bangkok Floating Markets
There are many floating markets where goods are sold from boats. While modern markets are more popular, floating markets still are a huge attraction for local tourism. Any visitors can purchase local foods and traditional handcrafted souvenirs. Bargaining is a part of experience. So, start low and get the price you are ready to pay.
Bregenzer Festspiele
The Bregenz Festival is held every year from July to August in Vorarlberg. It has the world’s largest stage on the water. The performances are different every year but they are usually united by one theme. The decorations are very impressive and are worth seeing.
Marina Bay Stadium
This stadium was built as a temporary solution while Singapore National Stadium was rebuilt. The stadium was used for the opening and closing ceremonies during 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. It was a floating platform where the Formula One Grand Prix event was successfully held.
Archipelago Cinema
Archipelago Cinema is probably one of the world’s most scenic open-air cinemas that floats in the middle of a lake. The cinema was designed by German architect Ole Scheeren, who built it using techniques popular among local people. This cinema stage was built specially for the film festival Film on the Rocks Yao Noi.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Bangkok Floating Markets部分“Any visitors can purchase local foods and traditional handcrafted souvenirs. Bargaining is a part of experience.(任何游客都可以购买当地食品和传统手工纪念品。讨价还价是该体验的一部分)”可知，游客在Bangkok Floating Markets可以在购买当地食品和纪念品时讨价还价。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Bregenzer Festspiele部分“It has the world’s largest stage on the water. The performances are different every year but they are usually united by one theme.(它拥有世界上最大的水上舞台。每年的表演都不一样，但它们通常由一个主题联合在一起)”可知，如果你想欣赏世界上最大的水上舞台表演，你会选择Bregenzer Festspiele。故选C项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Marina Bay Stadium部分“This stadium was built as a temporary solution while Singapore National Stadium was rebuilt. The stadium was used for the opening and closing ceremonies during 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. (这座体育场是在重建新加坡国家体育场时作为临时解决方案建造的。该体育场在2010年夏季青年奥运会期间用于开幕式和闭幕式)”以及Archipelago Cinema部分“This cinema stage was built specially for the film festival Film on the Rocks Yao Noi.(这个电影院舞台是专门为瑶诺岛巨石电影节而建的)”可知，Marina Bay Stadium和Archipelago Cinema的共同之处是它们都是为了特殊目的而建造的。故选D项。
B
The shower, I find, is the best place to cry. The water covers the sound of my sadness, while washing away any evidence of my pain. I shower after the kids have gone to bed; it’s the only time I can be alone. I always did my best to protect my two children from my tears. If I needed to cry, I cried by myself.
Yet, I encourage my two boys to cry. My 7-year-old prides himself on never crying at school. “Oh, but you must cry,” I insist. “Crying’s good. It gets the sadness out. Never hold back your tears.” But then I did just that. What might it do to them to see their mother upset?
Then my father died, and there was no way I could schedule my grief and keep my feelings inside. The realization that my dad was actually gone hit me with an intensity that was impossible to cover up.
To my surprise my boys didn’t seem too alarmed. They found me hiding in the bedroom one afternoon, weeping. “It’s OK, mommies get sad too,” I told them, smiling through my tears.
“Don’t be sad, Mommy. Grandad’s coming back as a baby,” my 7-year-old said, his tiny arm stretched across my shoulders. “Think about love,” he went on. “Think about all the people who love you.”
I realized that in hiding my pain, I was only denying what it means to be human. I felt as if I had led my sons to believe that “negative” emotions are only a concept, and not something they should possess. It’s one thing to tell my children it’s OK to cry. It’s another to show them how it’s done.
We owe that to our children, according to social researcher Brene Brown. During her TED talk The Power of Vulnerability, Brown said, “it’s imperative that we should let ourselves be seen – deeply seen”. “Our job is not to protect our children, to keep them perfect,” said Brown. “Our job is to look and say, ‘You’re imperfect, and you’re made for struggles, but you are worthy of love and belonging’.”
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?
A. She usually schedules her grief.
B. She seldom gets her sadness out.
C. She finds inspirations when she showers.
D. She believes boys should be tough.
5. What was the author’s reaction to the words of her seven-year-old?
A. She felt moved by his comforting words.
B. She was surprised he completely understood her sadness.
C. She was glad that her children didn’t worry about her sadness.
D. She realized how she handled sadness had misled her children.
6. Which one can replace the underlined word “imperative” in the last paragraph?
A. unwilling B. necessary C. modest D. thrilled
7. What does the author suggest parents do?
A. Parents should learn to get their emotions out.
B. Parents should tell kids never hold back their tears.
C. Parents should teach kids how to handle grief through examples.
D. Parents should try to push their children to work toward perfection.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议。讲述了作者常在孩子睡觉时自己躲在卫生间哭泣，由此让孩子们误认为哭泣是不好的，这让作者反思，认识到应该教会孩子如何正确处理自己的悲伤。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The shower, I find, is the best place to cry. The water covers the sound of my sadness, while washing away any evidence of my pain. I shower after the kids have gone to bed; it’s the only time I can be alone. (我发现，淋浴是哭泣的最佳场所。水掩盖了我悲伤的声音，冲走了我痛苦的痕迹。我在孩子们上床睡觉后洗澡;这是我唯一能独处的时间)”可推测出作者会安排自己的悲伤时刻，只有当孩子们睡着之后，自己会选择在淋浴的时候哭泣。故答案为A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“I realized that in hiding my pain, I was only denying what it means to be human. I felt as if I had led my sons to believe that “negative” emotions are only a concept, and not something they should possess. It’s one thing to tell my children it’s OK to cry. It’s another to show them how it’s done. (我意识到，隐藏我的痛苦，只是在否认作为人类的意义。我觉得我好像让我的儿子们相信“消极”情绪只是一个概念，而不是他们应该拥有的东西。告诉我的孩子哭是一回事。向他们展示这是另一回事)”和第二段“My 7-year-old prides himself on never crying at school. (我7岁的儿子以在学校从不哭而自豪)”可知，作者隐藏痛苦误导了自己的孩子对待悲伤的态度，让他们误以为悲伤不是他们应该拥有的情绪，所以D选项“她意识到她如何处理悲伤误导了她的孩子”符合题意。故答案为D。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文“ “Our job is not to protect our children, to keep them perfect,” said Brown. “Our job is to look and say, ‘You’re imperfect, and you’re made for struggles, but you are worthy of love and belonging’.”(布朗说：“我们的工作不是保护我们的孩子让他们保持完美。我们的工作是看着并说，‘你是不完美的，你注定要奋斗，但你值得爱和归属’。)”推知，布朗认为我们有必要让自己被看见。由此推出划线部分“imperative”与B选项“necessary(必要的)”贴合。故答案为B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“ It’s one thing to tell my children it’s OK to cry. It’s another to show them how it’s done. (告诉我的孩子哭是一回事。向他们展示这是另一回事)”可推知，父母应该去教导孩子如何处理悲伤的情绪，所以C选项“父母应该通过例子教孩子如何处理悲伤”符合题意。故答案为C。
C
British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work---The Underwater Museum of Cannes.
“The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen. “Ocean ecologies have been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”
The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.
Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.
“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”
8. What are the underwater museums intended to do?
A. To make huge profits. B. To raise awareness of protecting the ocean.
C. To show Jason Taylor’s talent. D. To draw attention to endangered sea animals.
9. Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask?
A. To popularize the features of the locals.
B. To remind people to protect themselves.
C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.
D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.
10. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How the project was started. B. How the seagrass was restored.
C. What recovery effort the project made. D. Why the surroundings were improved.
11. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?
A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.
B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.
C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.
D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Taylor创建水下博物馆的初衷以及该项目所造成的积极影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen.”（Taylor告诉Dezeen记者:“我们的主要目标是让人们注意到我们的海洋需要我们的帮助。” ）可知水下博物馆旨在提高人们保护海洋的意识。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.”（这些脸有6英尺高，重达10吨，被分成两部分，外部部分像一个面具。 这幅面具表明，从表面上看，世界上的海洋似乎强大而不可战胜，但它的生态系统对于粗心大意的人类活动来说极其脆弱）可知雕塑的外部看起来像一个面具是为了强调生态系统的敏感性。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.”（虽然雕塑周围的水域现在呈现出一种纯净的蓝色，但当该项目大约四年前开始时，海底充满了旧的船只引擎、管道和其他人造垃圾。 除了清理垃圾，泰勒还恢复了该地区的海草。 仅仅一平方米的海草每天就能产生多达10升的氧气。 海草还有助于防止海岸侵蚀，并为许多海洋生物提供栖息地）可知第四段主要讲了项目做出了哪些恢复努力。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.””（Taylor告诉Dezeen的记者:“创建水下博物馆的想法是为了吸引更多的人在水下，并培养一种关心和保护的意识。” “如果我们在森林附近扔垃圾，会引起公众的强烈抗议。 但这种情况每天都在我们周围的水域发生，而且很大程度上被忽视了。” ）可推断出海洋的情况很容易被忽视。故选A。
D
A recent study by University of Delaware researchers suggests exercise can help kids to learn and remember vocabulary. The article, published in the Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research, details one of the first studies on the effect of exercise on vocabulary learning in children.
Children ages 6 to 12 were taught new words before doing one of three things- swimming , taking part in CrossFit exercises or completing a coloring sheet. The children who swam were 13% more accurate in follow-up tests of the vocabulary words.
It makes sense to the lead researcher, Maddy Pruitt, herself a former college swimmer. “Motor movement helps in learning new words,” she said, explaining that exercise is known to increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(脑衍生神经营养因子).Then why did swimming make a difference while CrossFit did not? Pruitt attributes(归因) it to the amount of energy each exercise demands of the brain. Swimming is an activity the kids could complete without much thought or instruction. It was more automatic, while the CrossFit exercises were new to them. The children needed to learn the moves, which required mental energy.
Pruitt conducted the research as part of her Master s Capstone Project and graduated in 2020. She now works as a speech-language pathologist (病理学家) at a primary school in South Carolina, where she puts her findings into practice.
“My sessions are very rarely at a table,” she said. “I’ll take my kids out to the playground or we’ll take a walk around the school.”
Pruitt’s adviser and coauthor Giovanna Morini is building on the findings in her lab. Morini said most research into exercise examined it from the angle of a healthy lifestyle, not much entering the area of language acquisition.
“We are so excited about this study because it applies to clinicians, caregivers and educators who can put it into practice, Morini said.” It’s simple stuff, nothing out of the ordinary. But it could help boost the outcomes.
12. What were all the children asked to do in the study?
A. Complete vocabulary tests. B. Teach others new words.
C. Identify different colors. D. Share swimming skills.
13. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3?
A. The way of the study. B. The subject of the study.
C. The applications of the findings. D. The reasons for the study result.
14. How does Pruitt put her findings into practice?
A. By setting up clinics with other researchers.
B. By training the students to swim regularly.
C. By adding physical exercise to her sessions.
D. By asking the students to learn complex words.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Kids Are Supposed to Exercise Before Studying
B. Exercise Contributes to Kids’ Vocabulary Growth
C. Swimming Does Good to People’s Physical Health
D. Research Should Be Done on Language Acquisition
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了特拉华大学的研究人员最近的一项研究表明，锻炼可以帮助孩子学习和记忆词汇。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Children ages 6 to 12 were taught new words before doing one of three things- swimming , taking part in CrossFit exercises or completing a coloring sheet, The children who swam were 13% more accurate in follow-up tests of the vocabulary words.( 6至12岁的孩子在做以下三件事之一之前，先学习新单词——游泳、参加综合健身运动或填写填色表。游泳的孩子在后续词汇测试中的准确率提高了13%。)”可知，在研究中孩子们被要求完成词汇测试。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“It makes sense to the lead researcher, Maddy Pruitt, herself a former college swimmer. “Motor movement helps in learning new words,” she said, explaining that exercise is known to increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Then why did swimming make a difference while CrossFit did not? Pruitt attributes it to the amount of energy each exercise demands of the brain. Swimming is an activity the kids could complete without much thought or instruction.( 首席研究员麦蒂·普鲁伊特(Maddy Pruitt)认为这是有道理的，她自己也曾是大学游泳运动员。她说:“运动有助于学习新单词。”她解释说，运动可以提高脑源性神经营养因子的水平。那么，为什么游泳有影响，而混合健身没有呢?普鲁伊特将其归因于每次运动对大脑的能量需求。游泳是一项孩子们无需思考或指导就能完成的活动。)”可知，文章第三段主要在解释研究结果产生的原因。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段““My sessions are very rarely at a table,” she said. “I’ll take my kids out to the playground or we’ll take a walk around the school.”(“我的治疗很少是在餐桌上进行的，”她说。“我会带我的孩子去操场，或者我们会在学校里散步。”)”可知，普鲁伊特通过在治疗过程中增加体育锻炼的方式将她的研究成果付诸实践。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A recent study by University of Delaware researchers suggests exercise can help kids to learn and remember vocabulary.( 特拉华大学的研究人员最近的一项研究表明，锻炼可以帮助孩子学习和记忆词汇。)”可知，文章主要讲述了锻炼有助于孩子词汇量的增长。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大熊猫的数量变化，大熊猫的学名叫“猫熊”，以及“熊猫”这一不准确的名字的来源。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“大熊猫”简称熊猫，被视为“中国国宝”和和平的象征，是一种受到世界各国高度关注的濒危动物。分析句子结构，空处作非谓语动词，win与被修饰词animal之间是主动关系，所以空处应用现在分词形式winning作后置定语。故填winning。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国国家林业局2006年进行的另一项调查结果显示，中国野生大熊猫的数量增至1596只。分析句子结构，空处作非谓语动词，do与被修饰词survey之间是被动关系，空处应用过去分词形式done作后置定语。故填done。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中国国家林业局2006年进行的另一项调查结果显示，中国野生大熊猫的数量增至1596只。the number of为固定结构，表示“……的数量”，符合语意。故填the。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：作为最稀有的物种，大熊猫已被列为世界濒危动物之一。“one of+复数可数名词”为固定搭配，表示“……之一”，所以空处应用名词的复数形式。故填animals。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：大熊猫的汉语学名是“猫熊”，事实上，大熊猫在中国大陆通常被称为“熊猫”，这是它们的正确名字的颠倒发音。空处修饰名词name，应用形容词形式作定语，scientific是形容词，表示“科学上的，严谨的”。故填scientific。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：大熊猫的汉语学名是“猫熊”，事实上，大熊猫在中国大陆通常被称为“熊猫”，这是它们的正确名字的颠倒发音。空处修饰动词called，应用副词形式作状语，commonly是副词，表示“通常”。故填commonly。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意：大熊猫汉语学名是“猫熊”，事实上，大熊猫在中国大陆通常被称为“熊猫”，这是它们的正确名字的颠倒发音。结合语意，此处表示“它们的正确名字”，空处应用形容词性物主代词their，表示“它们的”，符合语意。故填their。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：其原因可以追溯到20世纪上半叶，当时从右向左阅读仍然是中国的习惯方式。根据句中the 1900s可知，从句描述过去的情况，应用一般过去时，动名词短语reading from right to left作主语，谓语动词应用单数形式，be动词使用was。故填was。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：有一次，原重庆北碚博物馆展出了一些名为“熊猫”的大熊猫标本，名字应该从右到左读，但记者根据当时的阅读方式，以颠倒的方式使用了这个名字；因此，“熊猫”为公众所熟知，并流传至今。分析句子结构，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the name “xiong mao”，先行词指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用which引导从句。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：有一次，原重庆北碚博物馆展出了一些名为“熊猫”的大熊猫标本，名字应该从右到左读，但记者根据当时的阅读方式，以颠倒的方式使用了这个名字；因此，“熊猫”为公众所熟知，并流传至今。结合语意，空处应用介词to，构成短语be known to sb.，表示“为某人所熟知”，符合语意。故填to。

第二节(满分 25 分)
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’m smaller than everyone else my age. When I walk in the halls at school, I have to squeeze in between the bigger kids to get by. At the playground, sometimes even little kids try to boss me around. Mia, my best friend, is so tall that when she walks, I have to jog to keep up with her.
I used to try to make myself taller whenever I could. My posture was perfect, straight as an arrow. I hung from the tree in our backyard to stretch out my arms and legs. I even ate all my vegetables. Every day I measured myself, but I was the same height every time. Frustrating!
“Don’t worry,” Mom always said. “Being small has its advantages.” “Really? I could never notice any.”
One day, Mrs. Alvarez announced to the class that we’d be putting on a spring play. I practiced all the lines. But at the audition (试演), when I walked up to the stage, Mrs. Alvarez cried, “You’ll be perfect as the elf (小精灵)! You’re just the right size for the costume.” I even never got a chance to deliver the practiced lines. Back home I grumbled (咕哝) to mum that I was made an elf. But she bet I would be the best elf. To please her, I went to rehearsals (排练), though I only had two lines.
Mia got the lead role-a girl wandering through a magical fairy forest in search of her lost dog. In the last scene, she finds a box under a giant mushroom, and when she opens it, her dog jumps out. Mrs. Alvarez’s dog, Prince, played the dog role. She brought him to all the rehearsals, and when he wasn’t onstage, we got to play with him, but he seemed to like me best.
The night of the show, my first line came early, “Let’s ask the Fairy Queen!” Since my only other line was toward the end, I waited offstage, playing with Prince.
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。
Finally the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage?” Mrs. Alvarez asked.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Finally, the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box. He was meek and cooperated well with the actors on stage. He jumped out as it was planned in the plot. He jumped into the giant mushroom, which fell over accidentally. Everyone present there were shocked by the scene and were worried that Prince might got hurt. In a panic, Prince leaped off the stage and disappeared underneath it. Mrs. Alvarez called him, but he whimpered and wouldn’t come out.
“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage?” Mrs. Alvarez asked. “I’m small enough to get him.” I said. I crawled under the stage through the dust and the cobwebs until I reached him. Prince licked my face. When we came out, the audience clapped and cheered. In face, we got more applause than the stars at the end of the show. My parents were proud and so was I. After that, I stopped worrying so much about my size. In fact, I decided that mom was right and being small has its perks.

Archipelago Cinema
Archipelago Cinema is probably one of the world’s most scenic open-air cinemas that floats in the middle of a lake.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Bangkok Floating Markets部分“Any visitors can purchase local foods and traditional handcrafted souvenirs. Bargaining is a part of experience.(任何游客都可以购买当地食品和传统手工纪念品。讨价还价是该体验的一部分)”可知，游客在Bangkok Floating Markets可以在购买当地食品和纪念品时讨价还价。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Bregenzer Festspiele部分“It has the world’s largest stage on the water. The performances are different every year but they are usually united by one theme.(它拥有世界上最大的水上舞台。每年的表演都不一样，但它们通常由一个主题联合在一起)”可知，如果你想欣赏世界上最大的水上舞台表演，你会选择Bregenzer Festspiele。故选C项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Marina Bay Stadium部分“This stadium was built as a temporary solution while Singapore National Stadium was rebuilt. The stadium was used for the opening and closing ceremonies during 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. (这座体育场是在重建新加坡国家体育场时作为临时解决方案建造的。该体育场在2010年夏季青年奥运会期间用于开幕式和闭幕式)”以及Archipelago Cinema部分“This cinema stage was built specially for the film festival Film on the Rocks Yao Noi.(这个电影院舞台是专门为瑶诺岛巨石电影节而建的)”可知，Marina Bay Stadium和Archipelago Cinema的共同之处是它们都是为了特殊目的而建造的。故选D项。
B
The shower, I find, is the best place to cry. The water covers the sound of my sadness, while washing away any evidence of my pain. I shower after the kids have gone to bed; it’s the only time I can be alone. I always did my best to protect my two children from my tears. If I needed to cry, I cried by myself.
Yet, I encourage my two boys to cry. My 7-year-old prides himself on never crying at school. “Oh, but you must cry,” I insist. “Crying’s good. It gets the sadness out. Never hold back your tears.” But then I did just that. What might it do to them to see their mother upset?
Then my father died, and there was no way I could schedule my grief and keep my feelings inside. The realization that my dad was actually gone hit me with an intensity that was impossible to cover up.
To my surprise my boys didn’t seem too alarmed. They found me hiding in the bedroom one afternoon, weeping. “It’s OK, mommies get sad too,” I told them, smiling through my tears.
“Don’t be sad, Mommy. Grandad’s coming back as a baby,” my 7-year-old said, his tiny arm stretched across my shoulders. “Think about love,” he went on. “Think about all the people who love you.”
I realized that in hiding my pain, I was only denying what it means to be human. I felt as if I had led my sons to believe that “negative” emotions are only a concept, and not something they should possess. It’s one thing to tell my children it’s OK to cry. It’s another to show them how it’s done.
We owe that to our children, according to social researcher Brene Brown. During her TED talk The Power of Vulnerability, Brown said, “it’s imperative that we should let ourselves be seen – deeply seen”. “Our job is not to protect our children, to keep them perfect,” said Brown. “Our job is to look and say, ‘You’re imperfect, and you’re made for struggles, but you are worthy of love and belonging’.”
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?
A. She usually schedules her grief.
B. She seldom gets her sadness out.
C. She finds inspirations when she showers.
D. She believes boys should be tough.
5. What was the author’s reaction to the words of her seven-year-old?

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议。讲述了作者常在孩子睡觉时自己躲在卫生间哭泣，由此让孩子们误认为哭泣是不好的，这让作者反思，认识到应该教会孩子如何正确处理自己的悲伤。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The shower, I find, is the best place to cry. The water covers the sound of my sadness, while washing away any evidence of my pain. I shower after the kids have gone to bed; it’s the only time I can be alone. (我发现，淋浴是哭泣的最佳场所。水掩盖了我悲伤的声音，冲走了我痛苦的痕迹。我在孩子们上床睡觉后洗澡;这是我唯一能独处的时间)”可推测出作者会安排自己的悲伤时刻，只有当孩子们睡着之后，自己会选择在淋浴的时候哭泣。故答案为A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“I realized that in hiding my pain, I was only denying what it means to be human. I felt as if I had led my sons to believe that “negative” emotions are only a concept, and not something they should possess. It’s one thing to tell my children it’s OK to cry. It’s another to show them how it’s done. (我意识到，隐藏我的痛苦，只是在否认作为人类的意义。我觉得我好像让我的儿子们相信“消极”情绪只是一个概念，而不是他们应该拥有的东西。告诉我的孩子哭是一回事。向他们展示这是另一回事)”和第二段“My 7-year-old prides himself on never crying at school. (我7岁的儿子以在学校从不哭而自豪)”可知，作者隐藏痛苦误导了自己的孩子对待悲伤的态度，让他们误以为悲伤不是他们应该拥有的情绪，所以D选项“她意识到她如何处理悲伤误导了她的孩子”符合题意。故答案为D。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文“ “Our job is not to protect our children, to keep them perfect,” said Brown. “Our job is to look and say, ‘You’re imperfect, and you’re made for struggles, but you are worthy of love and belonging’.”(布朗说：“我们的工作不是保护我们的孩子让他们保持完美。我们的工作是看着并说，‘你是不完美的，你注定要奋斗，但你值得爱和归属’。)”推知，布朗认为我们有必要让自己被看见。由此推出划线部分“imperative”与B选项“necessary(必要的)”贴合。故答案为B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“ It’s one thing to tell my children it’s OK to cry. It’s another to show them how it’s done. (告诉我的孩子哭是一回事。向他们展示这是另一回事)”可推知，父母应该去教导孩子如何处理悲伤的情绪，所以C选项“父母应该通过例子教孩子如何处理悲伤”符合题意。故答案为C。
C
British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work---The Underwater Museum of Cannes.
“The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen. “Ocean ecologies have been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”
The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.
Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.
“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”
8. What are the underwater museums intended to do?
A. To make huge profits. B. To raise awareness of protecting the ocean.
C. To show Jason Taylor’s talent. D. To draw attention to endangered sea animals.
9. Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask?
A. To popularize the features of the locals.
B. To remind people to protect themselves.
C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.
D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.
10. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How the project was started. B. How the seagrass was restored.
C. What recovery effort the project made. D. Why the surroundings were improved.
11. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?
A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.
B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.
C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.
D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Taylor创建水下博物馆的初衷以及该项目所造成的积极影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen.”（Taylor告诉Dezeen记者:“我们的主要目标是让人们注意到我们的海洋需要我们的帮助。” ）可知水下博物馆旨在提高人们保护海洋的意识。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.”（这些脸有6英尺高，重达10吨，被分成两部分，外部部分像一个面具。 这幅面具表明，从表面上看，世界上的海洋似乎强大而不可战胜，但它的生态系统对于粗心大意的人类活动来说极其脆弱）可知雕塑的外部看起来像一个面具是为了强调生态系统的敏感性。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.”（虽然雕塑周围的水域现在呈现出一种纯净的蓝色，但当该项目大约四年前开始时，海底充满了旧的船只引擎、管道和其他人造垃圾。 除了清理垃圾，泰勒还恢复了该地区的海草。 仅仅一平方米的海草每天就能产生多达10升的氧气。 海草还有助于防止海岸侵蚀，并为许多海洋生物提供栖息地）可知第四段主要讲了项目做出了哪些恢复努力。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.””（Taylor告诉Dezeen的记者:“创建水下博物馆的想法是为了吸引更多的人在水下，并培养一种关心和保护的意识。” “如果我们在森林附近扔垃圾，会引起公众的强烈抗议。 但这种情况每天都在我们周围的水域发生，而且很大程度上被忽视了。” ）可推断出海洋的情况很容易被忽视。故选A。
D
A recent study by University of Delaware researchers suggests exercise can help kids to learn and remember vocabulary. The article, published in the Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research, details one of the first studies on the effect of exercise on vocabulary learning in children.
Children ages 6 to 12 were taught new words before doing one of three things- swimming , taking part in CrossFit exercises or completing a coloring sheet. The children who swam were 13% more accurate in follow-up tests of the vocabulary words.
It makes sense to the lead researcher, Maddy Pruitt, herself a former college swimmer. “Motor movement helps in learning new words,” she said, explaining that exercise is known to increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(脑衍生神经营养因子).Then why did swimming make a difference while CrossFit did not? Pruitt attributes(归因) it to the amount of energy each exercise demands of the brain. Swimming is an activity the kids could complete without much thought or instruction. It was more automatic, while the CrossFit exercises were new to them. The children needed to learn the moves, which required mental energy.
Pruitt conducted the research as part of her Master s Capstone Project and graduated in 2020. She now works as a speech-language pathologist (病理学家) at a primary school in South Carolina, where she puts her findings into practice.
“My sessions are very rarely at a table,” she said. “I’ll take my kids out to the playground or we’ll take a walk around the school.”
Pruitt’s adviser and coauthor Giovanna Morini is building on the findings in her lab. Morini said most research into exercise examined it from the angle of a healthy lifestyle, not much entering the area of language acquisition.
“We are so excited about this study because it applies to clinicians, caregivers and educators who can put it into practice, Morini said.” It’s simple stuff, nothing out of the ordinary. But it could help boost the outcomes.
12. What were all the children asked to do in the study?
A. Complete vocabulary tests. B. Teach others new words.
C. Identify different colors. D. Share swimming skills.
13. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3?
A. The way of the study. B. The subject of the study.
C. The applications of the findings. D. The reasons for the study result.
14. How does Pruitt put her findings into practice?
A. By setting up clinics with other researchers.
B. By training the students to swim regularly.
C. By adding physical exercise to her sessions.
D. By asking the students to learn complex words.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Kids Are Supposed to Exercise Before Studying
B. Exercise Contributes to Kids’ Vocabulary Growth
C. Swimming Does Good to People’s Physical Health
D. Research Should Be Done on Language Acquisition
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】

【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“It makes sense to the lead researcher, Maddy Pruitt, herself a former college swimmer. “Motor movement helps in learning new words,” she said, explaining that exercise is known to increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Then why did swimming make a difference while CrossFit did not? Pruitt attributes it to the amount of energy each exercise demands of the brain. Swimming is an activity the kids could complete without much thought or instruction.( 首席研究员麦蒂·普鲁伊特(Maddy Pruitt)认为这是有道理的，她自己也曾是大学游泳运动员。她说:“运动有助于学习新单词。”她解释说，运动可以提高脑源性神经营养因子的水平。那么，为什么游泳有影响，而混合健身没有呢?普鲁伊特将其归因于每次运动对大脑的能量需求。游泳是一项孩子们无需思考或指导就能完成的活动。)”可知，文章第三段主要在解释研究结果产生的原因。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段““My sessions are very rarely at a table,” she said. “I’ll take my kids out to the playground or we’ll take a walk around the school.”(“我的治疗很少是在餐桌上进行的，”她说。“我会带我的孩子去操场，或者我们会在学校里散步。”)”可知，普鲁伊特通过在治疗过程中增加体育锻炼的方式将她的研究成果付诸实践。故选C。

考查名词。句意：作为最稀有的物种，大熊猫已被列为世界濒危动物之一。“one of+复数可数名词”为固定搭配，表示“……之一”，所以空处应用名词的复数形式。故填animals。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：大熊猫的汉语学名是“猫熊”，事实上，大熊猫在中国大陆通常被称为“熊猫”，这是它们的正确名字的颠倒发音。空处修饰名词name，应用形容词形式作定语，scientific是形容词，表示“科学上的，严谨的”。故填scientific。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：大熊猫的汉语学名是“猫熊”，事实上，大熊猫在中国大陆通常被称为“熊猫”，这是它们的正确名字的颠倒发音。空处修饰动词called，应用副词形式作状语，commonly是副词，表示“通常”。故填commonly。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意：大熊猫汉语学名是“猫熊”，事实上，大熊猫在中国大陆通常被称为“熊猫”，这是它们的正确名字的颠倒发音。结合语意，此处表示“它们的正确名字”，空处应用形容词性物主代词their，表示“它们的”，符合语意。故填their。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：其原因可以追溯到20世纪上半叶，当时从右向左阅读仍然是中国的习惯方式。根据句中the 1900s可知，从句描述过去的情况，应用一般过去时，动名词短语reading from right to left作主语，谓语动词应用单数形式，be动词使用was。故填was。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：有一次，原重庆北碚博物馆展出了一些名为“熊猫”的大熊猫标本，名字应该从右到左读，但记者根据当时的阅读方式，以颠倒的方式使用了这个名字；因此，“熊猫”为公众所熟知，并流传至今。分析句子结构，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the name “xiong mao”，先行词指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用which引导从句。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：有一次，原重庆北碚博物馆展出了一些名为“熊猫”的大熊猫标本，名字应该从右到左读，但记者根据当时的阅读方式，以颠倒的方式使用了这个名字；因此，“熊猫”为公众所熟知，并流传至今。结合语意，空处应用介词to，构成短语be known to sb.，表示“为某人所熟知”，符合语意。故填to。

第二节(满分 25 分)
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’m smaller than everyone else my age. When I walk in the halls at school, I have to squeeze in between the bigger kids to get by. At the playground, sometimes even little kids try to boss me around. Mia, my best friend, is so tall that when she walks, I have to jog to keep up with her.
I used to try to make myself taller whenever I could. My posture was perfect, straight as an arrow. I hung from the tree in our backyard to stretch out my arms and legs. I even ate all my vegetables. Every day I measured myself, but I was the same height every time. Frustrating!
“Don’t worry,” Mom always said. “Being small has its advantages.” “Really? I could never notice any.”
One day, Mrs. Alvarez announced to the class that we’d be putting on a spring play. I practiced all the lines. But at the audition (试演), when I walked up to the stage, Mrs. Alvarez cried, “You’ll be perfect as the elf (小精灵)! You’re just the right size for the costume.” I even never got a chance to deliver the practiced lines. Back home I grumbled (咕哝) to mum that I was made an elf. But she bet I would be the best elf. To please her, I went to rehearsals (排练), though I only had two lines.
Mia got the lead role-a girl wandering through a magical fairy forest in search of her lost dog. In the last scene, she finds a box under a giant mushroom, and when she opens it, her dog jumps out. Mrs. Alvarez’s dog, Prince, played the dog role. She brought him to all the rehearsals, and when he wasn’t onstage, we got to play with him, but he seemed to like me best.
The night of the show, my first line came early, “Let’s ask the Fairy Queen!” Since my only other line was toward the end, I waited offstage, playing with Prince.
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。
Finally the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box.

“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage?” Mrs. Alvarez asked.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Finally, the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box. He was meek and cooperated well with the actors on stage. He jumped out as it was planned in the plot. He jumped into the giant mushroom, which fell over accidentally. Everyone present there were shocked by the scene and were worried that Prince might got hurt. In a panic, Prince leaped off the stage and disappeared underneath it. Mrs. Alvarez called him, but he whimpered and wouldn’t come out.
“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage?” Mrs. Alvarez asked. “I’m small enough to get him.” I said. I crawled under the stage through the dust and the cobwebs until I reached him. Prince licked my face. When we came out, the audience clapped and cheered. In face, we got more applause than the stars at the end of the show. My parents were proud and so was I. After that, I stopped worrying so much about my size. In fact, I decided that mom was right and being small has its perks.
