【原文】 M: Hi, I’m Chris from Florida. Last year, I moved to London, where I’m working for an American company. It’s been a big change, and there have been lots of things to get used to. For example, in the U.S. we drive on the right, while here in Britain I’ve had to get used to driving on the left.
What else? Well, the weather in Florida is usually great, so I’m used to lots of sunshine, and I used to sunbathe a lot. In London it rains so much. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it, and I always remember to take my umbrella with me.
Food in England is different, too. In America, I used to eat a lot of Mexican food. Here in England, people love Indian food, so I’m getting used to the different tastes. At the company where I work, it’s quite different. I used to work from 9 a.m. till 11 p.m. I hated working so late. Here in England, I start at 8:30 a.m., but finish at 5 p.m. On Friday evening English people like to go to the club with friends, but in America I used to go to the gym. I love sports.
Is there anything else? Some of the words are different. The subway is called the “underground” in London, and British people call the fall “autumn”.

Table tennis may not seem a reasonable choice for someone with no arms—but Ibrahim Hamadtou doesn’t believe in limits. The 48-year-old Egyptian Paralympian breaks the barrier (障碍) by holding the paddle (球拍) in his mouth and using his right foot to serve the ball.
Hamadtou, who lost his arms in a train accident at the age of ten, was attracted to table tennis after being challenged by a friend. “I was once watching a match between two of my friends,” Hamadtou explains. “They disagreed on a point, When I counted the point in favor of one of them, the other player told me, ‘Mind your own business as you will never be able to play.’ It was that comment that fired me up to decide to play table tennis.”
It took Hamadtou three years to master the sport. He says the biggest challenge was working out the best way to control his body. “I was trying first to use the bat under the arm, and I also tried using other things, which weren’t working so well. Finally, I tried using my mouth. It took me nearly a year of practice to get used to holding the paddle with my mouth and making the serve. With practice and playing regularly, this skill was improved.”
The Egyptian’s impressive talent came to light in 2014 when he was awarded the best Arab Athlete of the year. He won a silver medal at the 2016 African Championships, qualified for his first Paralympics (残奥会) in 2016 at 43, and then again for the 2020 Tokyo Games at 48.
The inspiring athlete says, “The disability is not in arms or legs but to give up in whatever you would like to do.”
25. Why did Hamadtou take up table tennis?
A. He was interested in table-tennis. B. He was ready to encourage others.
C. He was determined to prove himself. D. He got injured in a train accident.
26. What was the most difficult for Hamadtou to play table tennis?
A. Playing the game with the right body parts.
B. Holding the paddle under his arm.
C. Practicing strengthening his muscles.
D. Serving the ball with his mouth.
27. What can we learn about Hamadtou from the text?
A. He realized his dream of winning a gold medal.
B. He was awarded the best athlete in Africa.
C. He won a medal in the 2020 Tokyo Games.
D. He was recognized as a talented player at 41.
28. What might be the message the story wants to send to us?
A. Success brings people happiness.
B. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C. Well begun is half done.
D. Love breaks down barriers.
【答案】25. C 26. A 27. D 28. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲的是失去双臂的残奥会运动员Hamadtou由于幼时受到刺激，决定打乒乓球。历经艰难，他在各场比赛中证明了自己的天赋和努力，验证了“有志者事竟成”这一真理。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““They disagreed on a point, When I counted the point in favor of one of them, the other player told me, ‘Mind your own business as you will never be able to play.’ It was that comment that fired me up to decide to play table tennis.”(“他们在一个问题上意见不一致，当我把一分算在他们中一个人的份上时，另一个球员告诉我，‘管好你自己的事，因为你永远都不能打球。’正是这句话激励我决定打乒乓球。”)”可推知，Hamadtou决定打乒乓球是因为他想要证明自己。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He says the biggest challenge was working out the best way to control his body. “I was trying first to use the bat under the arm, and I also tried using other things, which weren’t working so well. Finally, I tried using my mouth. It took me nearly a year of practice to get used to holding the paddle with my mouth and making the serve. With practice and playing regularly, this skill was improved.”(他说，最大的挑战是找到控制自己身体的最佳方式。“我一开始试着在腋下用球棒，我也试过用其他东西，但效果不太好。最后，我试着用嘴。我花了将近一年的时间练习，才习惯用嘴握拍子发球。通过经常练习和演奏，这项技能得到了提高。”)”可知，他最大的困难是使用正确的身体部位打球。故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The Egyptian’s impressive talent came to light in 2014 when he was awarded the best Arab Athlete of the year. He won a silver medal at the 2016 African Championships, qualified for his first Paralympics (残奥会) in 2016 at 43, and then again for the 2020 Tokyo Games at 48.(这位埃及人令人印象深刻的天赋是在2014年被授予年度最佳阿拉伯运动员时显露出来的。他在2016年非洲锦标赛上获得银牌，在2016年43岁时首次获得残奥会参赛资格，然后在48岁时再次获得2020年东京奥运会参赛资格。)”可知，2016年他43岁，那2014年他41岁的时候获得年度最佳运动员的称号，被公认为天才运动员。故选D。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文以及根据最后一段“The inspiring athlete says, “The disability is not in arms or legs but to give up in whatever you would like to do.”(这位鼓舞人心的运动员说：“残疾不在于胳膊或腿，而在于放弃你想做的任何事情。”)”可知，身残志坚的Hamadtou虽然没有双臂，用嘴叼球拍打球，通过自己奋斗而赢得了所有人的尊敬，因此这个故事想要给我们传达的信息是B项“Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.(有志者事竟成)”，故选B。
C
What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common? More than you might imagine. Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi made a journey together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aimed at taking pictures of the night sky.
Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the nighttime light pollution, making it perfect for star photographers. Nature night environments such as this are rare.
Camping, hiking, and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa stress the similarity between photography and racing. Bubba notes, “Once you start the engine there’s no turning back—I know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees, “I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera—I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba, developing patience allowed him to become a better driver and it is equally important to his photography.
Seizing the moment is crucial too. “Every minute things are changing—the Earth’s shadow, the moonlight, the rise of stars,” Batak explains. “If you lose the moment, it’s gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as important when travelling in Utah’s rough landscapes under freezing temperatures.
Think incoming clouds, wind, or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect photo? According to Batak. “With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity. Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.”
The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography. “We are both crazy about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries(边界),” says Batak. “The night sky has a unifying power. The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.”
29. Why did Bubba and Batak choose Gooseberry Mesa?
A. It has a small population. B. It has perfect weather conditions.
C. It is free from light pollution. D. It has beautiful scenery.
30. Which is required in both car racing and photography?
A. Willpower. B. Teamwork. C. Bravery. D. Creativity.
31. What does Batak think of unexpected weather as a photographer?
A. Annoying. B. Disastrous. C. Positive. D. Challenging.
32. Which may be a message behind the team’s photography work?
A. Appreciating the night sky. B. Connecting various cultures.
C. Removing racial boundaries. D. Protecting the environment.
【答案】29. C 30. A 31. C 32. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述赛车手布巴·华莱士（Bubba Wallace）和摄影师巴塔克·特弗雷希（Batak Tefreshi）一起前往偏远的古塞贝里梅萨（Gooseberry Mesa），进行一次旨在拍摄夜空的探险。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the nighttime light pollution, making it perfect for star photographers. (远离人口中心的Gooseberry Mesa受到保护，免受夜间光线污染，是拍摄星星的摄影师的理想选择。)”可知，Bubba和Batak选择Gooseberry Mesa是因为那里没有光污染。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For Bubba, developing patience allowed him to become a better driver and it is equally important to his photography. (对布巴来说，培养耐心让他成为更好的车手，这对他的摄影同样重要。)”可知，对赛车和摄影都很重要的特征是要有耐心和毅力。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“According to Batak. “With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity. Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.”(据巴塔克的说法。“有了广角夜景，每一个意想不到的天气状况都可能是一个机会。我们的照片显示，在晴朗的天空下，你看不到月亮周围的橙色和蓝色。”)”可知，对巴塔克来说，出现意想不到的天气可以给他的摄影带来更多样的拍摄效果，所以他对这些意想不到的天气是积极乐观的态度。故选C。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““We are both crazy about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries(边界),” says Batak. (巴塔克说：“我们都非常热衷于将文化融合在一起，并利用我们的工作打破界限。”)”可知，巴塔克他们都是非常热衷于将文化融合在一起，并利用他们的工作打破界限。故选B。
D
Researchers believe they have found an unknown kind of whale in waters off Mexico’s western coast. If others verify the finding, the new whale will be an important discovery among giant animals.
The team of researchers came across three unusual whales while following a rare group of beaked whales. The whales were near Mexico’s distant San Benito Islands, about 500 km south of the U.S. border. Beaked whales usually avoid meeting humans.
Jay Barlow studies sea animals. He noticed that it was a very unusual meeting. “It’s very rare to even see a beaked whale, and to find a group of friendly beaked whales, it’s even rarer,” he said.
Barlow said he and other researchers did not realize they were seeing a possible new kind of whale until later. The group saw something different about the whales’ teeth when they studied the photos they took of the animals. The underwater recordings of the whales’ calls also suggested they were different from all others.
The researchers are now waiting for test results on water they collected near the whales. There could be skin cells in the water from the whales. If so, they will examine the DNA to make sure whether the whales are a new species.
Though up to 5 meters long, the whales can be hard for scientists to see. That is because they usually swim and eat at depths of around 914 meters. They only come up at times for air. In the deep water, the animals can stay away from their main enemy — killer whales.
Barlow said that finding a new species is a rare event. His team has evidence about the whales that looks like a new discovery. He said the DNA testing would help determine it and he hoped the whales could be determined as a new species. That would bring the number of known beaked whale species to 24.
33. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Value. B. Refuse. C. Prove. D. Research.
34. What made the researchers believe that they might find a new whale species?
A. The whales’ huge size. B. The whales’ sounds.
C. The shape of the whales’ mouth. D. The whales’ friendly behavior.
35. Why do beaked whales prefer to live in the deep water?
A. To find enough food. B. To keep themselves safe.
C. To avoid meeting humans. D. To reduce the need for air.
36. What was Barlow’s attitude towards determining the beaked whales as a new species?
A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.
37. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It’s common for humans to meet a group of friendly beaked whales.
B. The DNA test results have suggested the beaked whale is a new species.
C. Sometimes the beaked whales would come out of water for breathing.
D. The researchers found the longest beaked whale is 5 meters long.
【答案】33. C 34. B 35. B 36. C 37. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究人员在墨西哥西海岸水域发现了一种未知的鲸鱼，这有可能是一个重要的新发现。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Researchers believe they have found an unknown kind of whale in waters off Mexico’s western coast. (研究人员认为，他们在墨西哥西海岸水域发现了一种未知的鲸鱼)”和第五段中“If so, they will examine the DNA to make sure whether the whales are a new species. (如果这样，他们将检查DNA，以确定鲸鱼是否是一个新物种)”说明研究人员发现了一种未知的鲸鱼，是否是一个新物种尚未确定。从而推知,划线部分“If others verify the finding, the new whale will be an important discovery among giant animals. (如果其他人verify这一发现，新发现的鲸鱼将是大型动物中的一个重要发现)”其中划线词汇意思应为“确定，证实”。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The underwater recordings of the whales’ calls also suggested they were different from all others. (水下鲸鱼叫声的录音也表明它们与其他鲸鱼不同)”可知，是鲸鱼的声音让研究人员相信他们可能会发现一种新的鲸鱼物种。故选B项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“That is because they usually swim and eat at depths of around 914 meters. They only come up at times for air. In the deep water, the animals can stay away from their main enemy — killer whales. (这是因为它们通常在大约914米的深处游泳和进食。它们只是偶尔浮出水面换气。在深水中，这些动物可以远离它们的主要敌人——虎鲸)”可知，因为喙鲸需要保护自己的安全，所以喜欢生活在深水中。故选B项。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He said the DNA testing would help determine it and he hoped the whales could be determined as a new species. (他说，DNA测试将有助于确定这一点，他希望这些鲸鱼可以被确定为一个新物种)”以及第五段中“If so, they will examine the DNA to make sure whether the whales are a new species. (如果这样，他们将检查DNA，以确定鲸鱼是否是一个新物种)”可知，Barlow尚不能确定喙鲸是不是新的物种。故选C项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“Though up to 5 meters long, the whales can be hard for scientists to see. (虽然鲸鱼身长可达5米，但科学家们很难看到它们)”可知，研究人员发现最长的喙鲸有5米长。故选D项。

It’s so easy to sit at your desk or on the couch eating up an entire bag of potato chips, or a full packet of cookies.___40___
If you keep a food diary or app outlining what you eat, how much of it, and how many calories it has, you may be more inclined to control your food intake.
Drink More Water
___41___Your body needs more water than you’re probably giving it, and you may be reading the signs all wrong. Keep a water bottle on hand, drinking water throughout the day. By doing so, you can control your appetite while also making sure your body is not lack of water.
Exercise More
It seems like a given – you exercise, you lose weight. However, it’s not only those 10-mile runs that make all the difference. ____42____ For instance, park further away at the grocery store, take the steps instead of the elevator and jog on the spot during TV ad breaks of your favorite show.
A. Use Smaller Dishes
B. Control your food intake.
C. You have to make plans for exercise.
D. All too often, we mistake thirst for hunger.
E. Many small changes can make a significant difference.

【答案】38. E 39. A 40. G 41. D 42. F
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了可以帮助你减肥的五件小事。
【38题详解】
空前说你可以通过每天做一些小事来减肥，感觉更健康，看起来更迷人，此处承接上文，讲的是小事也能够有大影响，故E项（许多微小的改变都会产生显著的影响）符合语境。
【39题详解】
根据本段内容可知，餐盘的直径会对你吃多少食物产生巨大的影响，你的餐盘越大，装的东西就越多，你吃的也就越多，因此本都主要讲的是要用小一些的餐盘，故A项（用小一点的盘子）符合语境。
【40题详解】
空前说坐在办公桌前或沙发上吃一整袋薯片或一整包饼干是如此容易，下一段又说如果你用食物日记或应用程序记录你吃了什么，吃了多少以及你吃的东西中含有多少卡路里，你可能更倾向于控制你的食物摄入量，因此此处讲的内容是关于一整袋薯片或一整包饼干中的卡路里含量的，故G项（然而，如果你知道其中含有多少卡路里，你可能会改变主意）符合语境。
【41题详解】
空后说你的身体需要的水可能比你喝的要多，你可能完全误解了这些迹象，因此此处是说口渴的时候我们会以为自己是饿了，故D项（我们常常把口渴误认为饥饿）符合语境。
【42题详解】
空后说例如，把车停在离杂货店远一点的地方，走台阶而不是坐电梯，在你最喜欢的电视广告时段原地慢跑，这是对空处的举例证明，证明锻炼也可以是有趣的，故F项（锻炼不一定是你迫不得已才去做的事情，它可以是有趣的）符合语境。
【点睛】在七选五的解题过程中，对空处的起举例说明作用的句子往往是重要线索，这些句子通常是由for example或for instance引出的，例如本篇第5空，根据空后的“For instance, park further away at the grocery store, take the steps instead of the elevator and jog on the spot during TV ad breaks of your favorite show.”可知，例如，把车停在离杂货店远一点的地方，走台阶而不是坐电梯，在你最喜欢的电视广告时段原地慢跑，“For instance”表明这是对空处的举例说明，证明锻炼也可以是有趣的，故F项（锻炼不一定是你逼不得已才去做的事情，它可以是有趣的）符合语境。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国国际搜寻救援队的一些情况。这个团队为那些生活因风暴、洪水、地震或其他自然灾害而改变的人们带来了帮助和希望。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意：中国国际搜救队(CISAR)于2001年正式成立，目前由数百名救援人员和约20只嗅探犬组成。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空后的动词formed，所以应该用副词修饰，official的副词形式是officially。故填officially。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：这支队伍为那些生活因各种灾难而改变的人们带来了帮助和希望。分析句子结构可知，此处为定语从句修饰先行词those，且先行词在从句中作定语，故应用关系代词whose。故填whose。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意：这支队伍为那些生活因各种灾难而改变的人们带来了帮助和希望。分析句子结构可知，空前是不定冠词a，所以空处应填名词，此处是固定搭配：a variety of意为“各种各样的”。故填variety。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意：在经过长时间的精心训练后，这支队伍于2003年执行了第一次国际救援任务。分析句子结构可知，空前是介词on，空处修饰空后的名词missions，所以空处应填形容词性物主代词。故填its。
【62题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：从那时起，CISAR完成了许多任务。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以complete做本句谓语，主语是the CISAR，为第三人称单数，两者间是主动关系，再根据标志词since then，可知应该用现在完成时。故填has completed。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意：得到帮助的人名单很长。分析句子结构可知，空处和空后的whom构成“介词+关系代词”结构，引导定语从句，先行词是people，在从句中做宾语，构成固定搭配：help has been given to people，所以应该用介词to+关系代词引导。故填to。
【64题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：该团队治疗了2006年印度尼西亚地震中受伤的3000多人，帮助了2010年海地地震中受伤的2500人，并花了几个月时间为2010年巴基斯坦洪水中的25000多名受害者提供援助。分析句子结构可知，本句是who引导的定语从句，从句中缺少谓语，所以injure做本句谓语，主语是who，代指先行词people，为复数，两者间是被动关系，应该用被动语态，再根据时间状语in the 2006，用一般过去时，所以应填一般过去时的被动语态。故填were injured。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：该团队治疗了2006年印度尼西亚地震中受伤的3000多人，帮助了2010年海地地震中受伤的2500人，并花了几个月时间为2010年巴基斯坦洪水中的25000多名受害者提供援助。分析句子结构可知，空前是动词spent，所以空处应填名词做宾语，根据句意和常识可知，帮助25000多名受害者需要几个月的时间，应该用复数。故填months。
【66题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：作为救援人员，他们必须在危险的条件下工作，这意味着他们必须在身体和精神上都很强壮。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，应该用关系代词引导，先行词是空前整句话，所以用which引导。故填which。
【67题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：冒着自己的生命危险去拯救别人的生命需要很大的爱和勇气。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词takes，所以risk应用非谓语形式，此处是固定句型：it takes...to do sth.意为“花费...做某事”。故填to risk。

第一节 根据中文提示完成句子。(共5小题;每空1分，满分10分)
68. 尽管面临很多困难，他对生活的态度依然积极向上。
________ all the difficulties he was faced with, he still had a positive ________ to life.
【答案】 ①. Despite ②. attitude

【详解】考查介词和名词。根据句意及所给句子可知，第一空缺少表示“尽管”的介词，第二空缺少表示“态度”的单数名词，despite表示“尽管”，是介词，后面可以跟名词短语做宾语，attitude表示“态度”，可数名词，have a positve attitude to life表示“对生活有一个积极的态度”。故填①Despite；②attitude。
69. 强烈推荐他提前申请。
It is strongly ________ that he ________ in advance.
【答案】 ①. recommended ②. apply
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和虚拟语气。分析所给中文提示词和英文翻译，可知，①空处需翻译部分是“推荐”应译为“recommend”，又此处是固定句型：it is recommended that意为“建议，推荐”，所以①空处填recommended，②空处需翻译“申请”应译为“apply”，又因为固定句型it is recommended that，从句中需用虚拟语气，动词形式为(should)+动词原形，其中should可省略，所以②空处填apply。故填①recommended；②apply。
70. 昨天晚上有三万观众在国家体育场观看了这次激动人心的比赛。
An ________ of 30,000 people watched this exciting game in the National ________ last night.
【答案】 ①. audience ②. Stadium

I am more than delighted to learn that you are obsessed with Chinese sports. My favorite Chinese sport is tai chi.
