It is hard to say I was a runner years ago. The longest I had ever run was 5 km. What’s more, I didn’t like running. No matter how hard I tried, every so often I would fasten my old shoes, walk out of the house with heavy steps, get less than a mile in and wonder why I was bothering, especially when there are many more satisfying ways of exercising.
Before last summer, I had never taken part in any kind of race at all. But at the end of July, I completed a triathlon(三项全能)after two weeks’ training. At the end of it came the run—which ended up more like a walk. Then I realized something about it attracted me. The extremely painful fun of doing something I hated and was unprepared for turned out to be an excitement. The difficulty felt like something to test my abilities.
When an invitation of the Berlin Marathon dropped onto my desk a few weeks after the triathlon, it felt like a change of fate. After the triathlon, I didn’t say I should start running at once. Was it because I hate running? In fact, in course of running I enjoyed the joy of exceeding my limits. I felt necessary to find out again where those limits might lie. So I said yes.
Training for a marathon often takes at least 20 weeks or more. The training plan becomes something to stop me worrying when the race seems too frightening. This worry feels impossible to avoid, but there is something equally sure about the training plan: if I follow it, then I have done everything I can; if I do everything I can, then I won’t regret what comes at the end.
4. What aspect of the triathlon drew the writer?
A. The special feeling of facing a challenge.
B. The fun of walking to the finish line.
C. The excitement of winning a race.
D. The two-week painful training.
5. Why did the writer accept the invitation of the Berlin Marathon?
A. He was eager to change his destiny.
B. He wasn’t supposed to stop running.
C. He wanted to realize his full potential.
D. He was keen on taking part in another triathlon.
6. Which of the following words can best describe the writer?
A. Patient and pessimistic. B. Courageous and determined.
C. Helpful and persistent. D. Energetic and changeable.
7. What can be learned from the text?
A. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
B. Challenge ourselves to live without regrets.
C. Life is full of challenges that can’t be avoided.
D. Exercise is to the body what reading is to the mind.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者参加三项全能运动和马拉松比赛的两次经历和个人收获。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Then I realized something about it attracted me. The extremely painful fun of doing something I hated and was unprepared for turned out to be an excitement. The difficulty felt like something to test my abilities.( 然后我意识到它吸引了我。做一些我讨厌且毫无准备的事情带来的极度痛苦的乐趣变成了一种刺激。难度感觉像是在考验我的能力。)”可知，作者在尝试过一次三项全能运动后意识到自己被自我挑战的乐趣所吸引，虽然过程很痛苦，但是也很有趣，充满刺激。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In fact, in course of running I enjoyed the joy of exceeding my limits. I felt necessary to find out again where those limits might lie. So I said yes.(事实上，在跑步的过程中，我享受到了超越极限的快乐。我觉得有必要再次找出这些界限可能在哪里。所以我答应了。)”可知，作者在跑步的过程中，我享受到了超越极限的快乐，他想要继续超越自我，充分发挥自己的潜力，所以答应参加比赛。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章中作者参加三项全能运动和马拉松比赛的两次经历，尤其是文章最后一段“This worry feels impossible to avoid, but there is something equally sure about the training plan: if I follow it, then I have done everything I can; if I do everything I can, then I won’t regret what comes at the end.(这种担忧似乎无法避免，但对于训练计划，有一点同样是肯定的：如果我按照计划去做，那么我就做了我能做的一切；如果我尽我所能，那么我不会后悔最后的结果。)”可知，作者想要突破极限，努力做好训练，不留遗憾。从而推断作者是一个意志坚定，敢于挑战自我的人。故选B。
【7题详解】

Professor Veena Sahajwalla, 2022 Australian of the year, has created a solution to our massive trash problem: waste microfactories. These little trash processors (处理器)-some as small as 500 square feet- house a scries of machines that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with thermal technology (热技术). The new all-in -one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust.
In 2018 she launched the first microfactory, establishing a model of recycling that enables businesses and communities to develop commercial opportunities while addressing local waste problems. A second one began recycling plastics in 2019. Now, her lab group is working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented Microfactory technology. “The small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on renewable energy, unlike most large manufacturing plants. The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on location, avoiding the long, often international, high-emission journeys between recycling processors and manufacturing plants. With a microfactory, gone are the days of needing separate facilities to collect and store materials, extract (提取) elements and produce new products,” says Sahajwalla.
Traditionally, recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products-like melting down plastic to make more plastic things. Sahajwalla’s invention advances this idea by taking materials from an old product and creating something different. “The kids don’t look like the parents,” she says. Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth R,” adding “re-form” to the common phrase “reduce, reuse, recycle”.
Professor Veena Sahajwalla’s programs help to develop innovation and promote cooperation with industry, ensuring that sustainable materials and processes become commercially practical solutions for dealing with waste.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce a new type of trash processor.
B. To introduce the process of recycling waste.
C. To prove the seriousness of the trash problem.
D. To show the current situation of trash recycling.
9. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The origin of waste microfactories.
B. The advantages of waste microfactories.
C. The influences of waste microfactories.
D. The shocking scale of waste microfactories.
10. What does “re-form” in Paragraph 3 refer to according to Sahajwalla?
A. Generating new materials with waste.
B. Extracting materials from the waste.
C. Updating the whole recycling process.
D Transforming waste into similar products.
11. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A fiction novel.
B. A business report.
C. A science magazine.
D. A chemical textbook.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】

The new all-in -one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust.(Veena Sahajwalla教授是2022年澳大利亚年度人物，她为我们巨大的垃圾问题创造了一个解决方案：废物微型工厂。这些小垃圾处理机——有些小到500平方英尺——安装了一系列机器，利用热技术回收垃圾并将其转化为新材料。这种新的一体化的方法可以使我们目前的回收过程望尘莫及。)”可知，第一段的写作目的是为了介绍一种新型的垃圾处理机。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“In 2018 she launched the first microfactory, establishing a model of recycling that enables businesses and communities to develop commercial opportunities while addressing local waste problems.(2018年，她启动了第一家微型工厂，建立了一种回收模式，使企业和社区在解决当地垃圾问题的同时开发商业机会。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了垃圾微工厂的优点。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Sahajwalla’s invention advances this idea by taking materials from an old product and creating something different.(Sahajwalla的发明通过从旧产品中提取材料，创造出不同的东西，推进了这一想法。)”可知，Sahajwalla将这一过程称为“第四个R”，即在“减少、再利用、再循环”的基础上再加上“重组”。由此可推知，re-form指的是“用垃圾产生新材料”。故选A。
【11题详解】

Nowadays some companies are attempting to grow seafood from cells in a laboratory rather than harvesting it from the oceans.
With massive problems with overfishing worldwide and growing demand for shrinking supplies of seafood, the way fish currently makes its way to our plates isn’t a long-term viable option. Between 1961 and 2016, the average annual increase in global food fish consumption outpaced population growth. Those are figures not sustainable for us, the fish or the environment as a whole.
Cellular seafood could be the answer. Just don’t make the mistake of calling it lab-grown fish. ‘‘None of us in the industry would call it lab-grown seafood,” says Mike Selden, CEO of Finless Foods. ‘‘Finless Foods isn’t lab-grown. We experiment and create our science in the lab, but don’t produce there. Our products come from a production base much like a farm as a production base for animals.’’
Finless Foods is a tech company in San Francisco. Beginning in 2017, it’s been working to bring to market a species of cultured bluefin tuna (蓝鳍金枪鱼) created using cellular technology. Shortly after that, the company produced its first pound of bluefin tuna meat for a cost of about $19,000. Since then, however, it’s been the first battle to bring that price down.
Selden terms what Finless Foods is doing as ‘‘cell-based seafood’’. ‘‘We’re growing seafood from real seafood cells,’’ Selden explained. ‘‘We take cells from a fish once, and then grow them endlessly from that. We do the same process that happens inside of a fish and make it happen outside of a fish.”
The goal of cellular seafood isn’t to entirely destroy the current seafood industry. Instead, it’s intended to augment it—and perhaps to help reduce some of the more harmful aspects of current fishing practices like overfishing and illegal fishing. And when it comes to certain sea species, this laboratory-based approach could help create a plentiful supply of certain fish without endangering the survival of certain overfished species as a whole.
12. What is the main function of the second paragraph?
A. Warning us of the shrinking seafood supplies.
B. Stressing the significance of cellular seafood.
C. Analyzing the reasons for global overfishing.
D. Showing the environmental effect of seafood.
13. What is the top priority of producing cellular seafood ?
A. Cutting down the high cost of production.
B. Enriching the nutrient content.
C. Reducing harmful health effect.
D. Simplifying the production process.
14. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Cellular seafood isn’t lab-grown food because it is processed in a production base wholly.
B. Finless Foods does the same process inside a fish as a fish does.
C. Finless Foods can create a new range of fish.
D. Cellular seafood can strengthen the current seafood industry.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Seafood in Cells. B. Cheaper Seafood.
C. Insufficient Seafood Supplies. D. Current Seafood Industry.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些公司正试图在实验室里从细胞中培育海产品。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“With massive problems with overfishing worldwide and growing demand for shrinking supplies of seafood, the way fish currently makes its way to our plates isn’t a long-term viable option. Between 1961 and 2016, the average annual increase in global food fish consumption outpaced population growth. Those are figures not sustainable for us, the fish or the environment as a whole.(随着全球范围内过度捕捞的严重问题以及对海产品供应日益减少的需求，目前鱼类进入我们盘子的方式不是一个长期可行的选择。1961年至2016年间，全球食用鱼消费量的年均增长速度超过了人口增长速度。这些数字对我们、鱼类和整个环境来说都是不可持续的。)”和第三段中“Cellular seafood could be the answer. (细胞海鲜可能是答案)”可知，全球海产品供应减少，但是全球食用鱼消费量却在增加，目前海产品无法满足人类的需求，从细胞中培育海产品能解决此问题，由此可推知，第二段主要强调细胞海产品的重要性。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Shortly after that, the company produced its first pound of bluefin tuna meat for a cost of about $19,000. Since then, however, it’s been the first battle to bring that price down.(不久之后，该公司生产了第一磅蓝鳍金枪鱼肉，成本约为19,000美元。然而，从那时起，这是第一次降低价格的战斗)”可推知，生产细胞海鲜的首要任务是降低高生产成本。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The goal of cellular seafood isn’t to entirely destroy the current seafood industry. Instead, it’s intended to augment it—and perhaps to help reduce some of the more harmful aspects of current fishing practices like overfishing and illegal fishing. (细胞海鲜的目标并不是要彻底摧毁目前的海鲜产业。相反，它的目的是扩大这种影响——也许还有助于减少目前捕鱼做法中一些更有害的方面，比如过度捕捞和非法捕鱼)”可知，细胞海产品可以加强现有的海产品产业。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Nowadays some companies are attempting to grow seafood from cells in a laboratory rather than harvesting it from the oceans.(如今，一些公司正试图在实验室里从细胞中培育海产品，而不是从海洋中收获)”可知，文章主要介绍了一些公司正试图在实验室里从细胞中培育海产品，A项“Seafood in Cells.”适合做文章标题，故选A。

【43题详解】
考查连接词。句意：最大的不同是你可以看到移动的海景。本句为表语从句，从句中不缺少成分，故用that。故填that。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：更重要的是，有为所有年龄和兴趣的人设计的活动，和各种体育设施，如健身房和攀岩墙，以及俱乐部和商店。此处修饰名词短语sports facilities应用形容词，表示“各种体育设施”，故填various。

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe?
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.
“Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time?” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.”
“Mom’s not being mean to you” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.
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。
Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.”

As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” My mouth dropped open. “She was outside all night?” I was so furious, “It was freezing and she could die!” Jordan choked back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside. Jordan followed, fear welling up in his eyes. Several minutes later, the poor thing was found, shaking and curling into a tiny ball. I picked her up, unsure whether she was alive or dead. Jordan was scared, “We need a vet! Now!”
As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. I could hear him talking to the cat, apologizing repeatedly. Luckily, the vet saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, Jordan stroked her head, all tears. Then, surprisingly, he turned to me. He apologized for what he had done. “I know you just want to keep me safe,” he murmured. I felt a lump in my throat. He rubbed Meatball’s back, “Looks like we are both going to observe the curfew. It’s for our own good.”
