What’s the most popular Winter Olympics design with children? It must be the mascot (吉祥物) Bing Dwen Dwen, a panda in an ice shell, which was chosen as the mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics in 2019, Now it has been made into toys and plastic models, as well as printed on notebooks and bags and so on.
“We once made three designs, and then asked my 9-year-old son to choose his favorite. At his first look, he chose Bing Dwen Dwen, which was the mascot finally," said Cao Xue, the designer of Bing Dwen Dwen.
According to Cao, Bing Dwen Dwen was chosen from 5,816 designs-from 38 countries and regions. The idea first came from the traditional Chinese snack, Bingtanghulu—the sugar coat later turned into the ice shell in his design. However, a simple snack cannot stand for a country by itself. Cao’s team then tried many plants and animals, finally going with a panda. "We don’t need to explain anything to have it understood across different cultures,” said Cao.
They faced a problem, though there were already too many cartoon pandas. Cao’s team looked at panda designs from around the world. They wanted to make sure their panda was different. For this reason, Cao decided it should be a baby panda. This is how they got Bing Dwen Dwen’s body shape. For new ideas, the team visited the panda nature reserve in Wolong, Sichuan. They got the idea from the hometown of panda.
“When we finally got Bing Dwen Dwen, our whole team was over the moon.” said Cao. “Now it turns out that Bing Dwen Dwen has got the world’s attention and it is a big success.”

A myth （传说）is something that is not correct, but many people believe. There are a lot of myths about the human brain.
One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, we’ll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it’s not true! The truth is that although we don’t know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function （功能）. Modem scientists think the “10 percent myth” ridiculous （荒谬的）.
The other most popular myth is about being “right brained” or “left brained”. According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it’s also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally.
It’s true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence（证据）that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more.
We’ve talked about myths, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It’s also the fattest organ（器官）in your body. Here’s one more interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.
( )23．According to the first myth mentioned, how many percent of our brains is unused?
A．10%. B．30%. C．50%. D．90%.
( )24．According to the facts mentioned in the passage, who may use the left brain more?
A．Robert, who is learning English. B．Kate, who is drawing pictures.
C．Jenny, who is creative. D．Jacob, who is good at maths.
( )25．Which of the following is TRUE about the human brain?
A．It is growing all life long.
B．About three quarters of it is made of water.
C．Some parts of it are not used at all.
D．The right side is used more by artists.
( )26．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The growing of the brain. B．Different functions of the brain.
C．Myths and facts about the brain. D．Right brain and left brain.
（D）
Utopia is a perfect place. It is a place without war, hunger, poverty, or crime. All of the people are equal in Utopia, and the laws are all fair.
Utopia is not a new place. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, described a perfect society in his famous dialogue The Republic. In Plato’s Republic, every person had a Zplace in the society. In 1516, Sir Thomas More wrote about an island in the Pacific Ocean where everything was perfect. He named the island “Utopia.” In 1872, Samuel Butler wrote a novel about a perfect country.
Many people came to the New World to find Utopia. Rapp, a German farmer came to the United States in 1804 to start a Utopian community. In 1815, Rapp and his followers bought land for their community in Harmony, and they made the things they needed with machines. In 1824, they sold the community to Owen, who started the Utopian community of New Harmony there. In New Harmony, everything belonged to everyone and men and women were equal, but New Harmony lasted only two years. Then Francis Wright began Nashoba, a community where white people and black people could live and work together. Nashoba lasted from 1825 to 1830. A group of intellectuals founded Brook Farm, a Utopian farming community, in 1841. However, they did not have many farming skills, so the farm closed in 1847.
Utopia is a perfect place. There is no money in Utopia because people do not need money. They do not have personal possessions because everything belongs to everyone, but it is not a real place. Most “real” Utopias last only a short time. This is because everyone wants to live in Utopia, but no one knows how to make it work. As a result, when we say something is “Utopian” today, we mean that it is a good idea, but it is not realistic.
( )27．According to the passage, ________ was the turst person to call a place “Utopia”.
A．Plato B．Thomas More C．Samuel Butler D．Rapp
( )28．The underlined word “possessions” means ________ .
A．pressure B．trouble C．wealth D．knowledge
( )29．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A．All the triers found that Utopia also had disadvantages.
B．People spent a lot of money on Utopian communities.
C．Utopian communities made these triers very satisfied
D．None of the tryouts of Utopian communities succeeded.
( )30．Which of the following persons is “Utopian”?
A．Amy, a middle school student who likes to write novels about a perfect world.
B．Mia, who wants to have a bright future but doesn't know how to go for it.
C．Tim, who dreams to be a presenter and makes his effort to get a job in CCTV.
D．Bush, a teenager who studies hard to realize his dream of becoming an engineer.

A myth （传说）is something that is not correct, but many people believe. There are a lot of myths about the human brain.
One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, we’ll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it’s not true! The truth is that although we don’t know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function （功能）. Modem scientists think the “10 percent myth” ridiculous （荒谬的）.
The other most popular myth is about being “right brained” or “left brained”. According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it’s also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally.
It’s true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence（证据）that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more.
We’ve talked about myths, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It’s also the fattest organ（器官）in your body. Here’s one more interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.
( )23．According to the first myth mentioned, how many percent of our brains is unused?
A．10%. B．30%. C．50%. D．90%.
( )24．According to the facts mentioned in the passage, who may use the left brain more?
A．Robert, who is learning English. B．Kate, who is drawing pictures.
C．Jenny, who is creative. D．Jacob, who is good at maths.
( )25．Which of the following is TRUE about the human brain?
A．It is growing all life long.
B．About three quarters of it is made of water.
C．Some parts of it are not used at all.
D．The right side is used more by artists.
( )26．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The growing of the brain. B．Different functions of the brain.
C．Myths and facts about the brain. D．Right brain and left brain.
【答案】23．D    24．D    25．B    26．C
【解析】本文主要讲述了关于大脑的神话和事实。
23．细节理解题。根据“One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains.”可知，大脑只使用了10%，剩下90%没有使用，故选D。
24．细节理解题。根据“According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science.”可知，根据这个神话，使用右脑的人更有艺术和创造力。使用左脑的人更擅长数学和科学。故选D。
25．细节理解题。根据“Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water.”可知，大脑大约75%是由水构成的。故选B。
26．主旨大意题。根据“We’ve talked about myths, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain.”可知，本文讨论关于大脑的神话和事实，故选C。
（D）
Utopia is a perfect place. It is a place without war, hunger, poverty, or crime. All of the people are equal in Utopia, and the laws are all fair.
Utopia is not a new place. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, described a perfect society in his famous dialogue The Republic. In Plato’s Republic, every person had a Zplace in the society. In 1516, Sir Thomas More wrote about an island in the Pacific Ocean where everything was perfect. He named the island “Utopia.” In 1872, Samuel Butler wrote a novel about a perfect country.
Many people came to the New World to find Utopia. Rapp, a German farmer came to the United States in 1804 to start a Utopian community. In 1815, Rapp and his followers bought land for their community in Harmony, and they made the things they needed with machines. In 1824, they sold the community to Owen, who started the Utopian community of New Harmony there. In New Harmony, everything belonged to everyone and men and women were equal, but New Harmony lasted only two years. Then Francis Wright began Nashoba, a community where white people and black people could live and work together. Nashoba lasted from 1825 to 1830. A group of intellectuals founded Brook Farm, a Utopian farming community, in 1841. However, they did not have many farming skills, so the farm closed in 1847.
Utopia is a perfect place. There is no money in Utopia because people do not need money. They do not have personal possessions because everything belongs to everyone, but it is not a real place. Most “real” Utopias last only a short time. This is because everyone wants to live in Utopia, but no one knows how to make it work. As a result, when we say something is “Utopian” today, we mean that it is a good idea, but it is not realistic.
( )27．According to the passage, ________ was the turst person to call a place “Utopia”.
A．Plato B．Thomas More C．Samuel Butler D．Rapp
( )28．The underlined word “possessions” means ________ .
A．pressure B．trouble C．wealth D．knowledge
( )29．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A．All the triers found that Utopia also had disadvantages.
B．People spent a lot of money on Utopian communities.
C．Utopian communities made these triers very satisfied
D．None of the tryouts of Utopian communities succeeded.
( )30．Which of the following persons is “Utopian”?
A．Amy, a middle school student who likes to write novels about a perfect world.
B．Mia, who wants to have a bright future but doesn't know how to go for it.
C．Tim, who dreams to be a presenter and makes his effort to get a job in CCTV.
D．Bush, a teenager who studies hard to realize his dream of becoming an engineer.
【答案】27．B    28．C    29．D    30．B
【解析】本文主要介绍了在各个时期人们对乌托邦的定义和描述。
27．细节理解题。根据第二段“In 1516, Sir Thomas More wrote about an island in the Pacific Ocean where everything was perfect. He named the island ‘Utopia’ ”可知，托马斯·莫尔是第一个称这个岛为“乌托邦”的人。故选B。
28．词义猜测题。根据最后一段“There is no money in Utopia because people do not need money. They do not have personal possessions because everything belongs to everyone, but it is not a real place.”可知，乌托邦里没有钱，因为人们不需要钱。他们没有个人财产，因为一切都属于每个人，但它不是一个真实的地方，possessions是“财产，财富”的意思，与wealth意思相同。故选C。
29．段落大意题。根据第三段“In New Harmony, everything belonged to everyone and men and women were equal, but New Harmony lasted only two years. ...However, they did not have many farming skills, so the farm closed in 1847.”可知，主要讲述了乌托邦社区的尝试没有成功。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“As a result, when we say something is ‘Utopian’ today, we mean that it is a good idea, but it is not realistic.”可知，当我们今天说某件事是“乌托邦”时，我们的意思是它是一个好主意，但它是不现实的。B选项“米娅，想拥有美好的未来却不知道如何去追求”符合题意，故选B。

【解析】本文主要介绍了作者在10岁的时候去美国看望朋友，注意到关于人们说英语的有趣事情，同样的事物在不同的地方用不同的英语表达。
51．句意：我注意到每个人说英语的方式很有趣。根据“something”可知，此处用形容词作后置定语，修饰不定代词。故填interesting。
52．句意：当我的朋友问我要不要点“炸薯条”时，我无法想象炸薯条是什么。根据“my friend asked me ... I wanted to order...”可知，此处缺引导词引导宾语从句，表示“是否”，用if或者whether。故填if/whether。
53．句意：她很惊讶我从未尝试过它们，所以她点了一份让我们分享。根据“She was amazed that I had never tried them”和“she ordered a portion for us to share.”可知，两者表示因果关系，前面是因，后面是果，用so连接，或用and表顺承关系。故填so/and。
54．句意：当服务员给我们带来一些薯条时，我问她炸薯条在哪里。根据“... brought us some chips”可知，此处是指“服务员”带来薯条，由“her”可知是“女服务员”，因此既可用waiter表示“服务员”也可用waitress特指“女服务员”。故填waiter/waitress。
55．句意：我将去超市买一些薯条。根据语境及“I ... some ‘chips’ from the supermarket.”可知，此处表示“将要买”，用一般将来时will+动词原形或者be going to do，主语是I，be用am。故填will buy/am going to buy。

57．句意：在那个假期里，我们的午餐也提供了“饼干和肉汁”。主语we和宾语“biscuits and gravy”之间是动宾关系，因此用被动语态be+动词过去分词，时态用一般过去时，主语we是复数，因此be用were。故填were offered。
58．句意：这对我来说是个很奇怪的想法，因为在英国饼干是甜的。此处表示泛指，用不定冠词，表示“一个”，very是以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
59．句意：后来，我意识到美国的“饼干”是咸味小吃。此处应用副词修饰整个句子，late的副词为later“后来”，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Later。
60．句意：尽管在不同的国家可能使用相同的“语言”，但在词汇，拼写，语法和发音方面可能存在许多差异！根据“vocabulary, spelling, grammar and ...”可知，此处用名词pronunciation表示“发音”，不可数名词。故填pronunciation。
