Most 5-year-olds are just learning their ABCs but one little girl from the UK has actually written a book that was published in January 2022.Bella-Jay Dark from Weymouth，is the world's youngest female to be published and was awarded the title by Guinness World Records （吉尼斯世界纪录）.Her book，The Lost Cat tells the story of Snowy，a cat who got lost after going outside alone at night.She hopes the book will teach children not to go outside at night alone.
While many adult writers find inspiration for their books from life experiences，Bella's creative vision actually came from one of her drawings. "It started off as a picture.My daddy said I could make a book and a story came from the picture，" Bella said.
Her mom，Chelsie Syme，was surprised that the book turned out as well as it did. "I am just really proud of her；I did not think it was going to go this far so I'm just proud and want to see her get the acknowledgement she deserves."
But how do you get a child's homemade book published？According to Syme，they took Bella's book to a book fair and found a publisher willing to take a chance on it.Syme helped Bella with proofing copies （校对本） and making necessary changes.To earn the Guinness World Record title of The World's Youngest Published Author，female，the book has to be published by a commercial publishing house and have at least 1000 copies printed and sold.Bella's book met the criteria，so she was awarded the title.Besides being an accomplished author，Bella is just a regular kid who enjoys reading，swimming，and playing on her tablet.In her free time，she is currently working on a sequel （续篇） to Snowy's story.Who knows what pearls of wisdom will come next？

The world is drowning in plastic waste.The huge piles in landfill sites are growing fast.Therefore，it is most urgent to move away from the traditional linear economic model and change to a fully circular economy.To help this transformation，Igus，a Germany-based manufacturer of high-performance plastics，has been developing and investing in the work of recycling plastics for many years.The company is now showing the world a new product，the "igus：bike"，which is the world's first urban bike produced almost entirely from recycled polymer （聚合物） .
Igus CEO Frank Blasé first got the idea while vacationing on a Florida beach.A conversation with employees at a rental company made him aware of the challenges of maintaining beach bicycles.The continuous exposure to sand，wind，and saltwater caused the bikes to rust （生锈） rapidly.Many had to be replaced in as little as three months.The igus：bike is zero maintenance and rust-free.It can be left outdoors in all weather and does not require lubricant oil to reduce friction between parts.Since it does not attract sand，dust，or dirt，the bike can be cleaned with a garden hose in seconds.
The igus：bike will also help relieve the world's plastic pollution problems.The company says a single adult bike gives new life to about 35 pounds of single-use plastic that would otherwise block our landfills or waterways.For example，the first prototypes were made of material from old fishing nets.Currently，90% of the igus：bike is made using plastic.Igus believes future versions will be made entirely from plastic.
The plastic bikes are expected to come to market in early 2023.An adult model，made entirely from recycled plastic，will cost about ﹩1430.A slightly cheaper version made using new plastic is also in the works.Igus also plans on sharing its technology with other bicycle manufacturers. "We want to enable the bicycle industry to produce plastic bikes，" says Blase.
8. Which statement is true about Igus？ ______
A. It developed popular bikes in Germany.
B. It is devoted to recycling plastic waste.
C. It follows the model of a traditional linear economy.
D. It appeals to companies to invest in the bicycle industry.
9. What highlights the Igus：bike according to paragraph 2？ ______
A. It is safer to ride.
B. It will not rust rapidly.
C. It is easier to maintain.
D. It consumes less energy to produce.
10. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the Igus-bike？ ______
A. Its huge market. B. Its complex design.
C. Its multiple versions. D. Its environmental value.
11. What is the purpose of the text？ ______
A. To introduce a newly invented plastic bicycle.
B. To stress the importance of technological innovation.
C. To raise people's awareness of environmental protection.
D. To provide some advice on how to produce a new kind of bike.
D
    When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat (栖息地).
    In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J. N. "Ding" Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
    About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
12. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America？
A. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Pollution of rivers. D. Arrival of other wild animals.
13. What does the underlined word "decimate" mean in the first paragraph？
A. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D. Distribute.
14. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934？
A. The stamp price has gone down.
B. The migratory birds have flown away.
C. The hunters have stopped hunting.
D. The government has collected money.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？
A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story
B. The National Wildlife Refuge System
C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl
D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting

　　阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
　　首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
　　在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
　　猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

8~11.【答案】B、C、D、A
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段To help this transformation，Igus，a Germany-based manufacturer ofhigh-performance plastics，has been developing and investing in the work of recycling plastics for manyyears.（为了帮助实现这一转变，总部位于德国的高性能塑料制造商Igus多年来一直在开发和投资回收塑料的工作）可知 Igus公司这些年致力于回收利用塑料。故选B项。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段最后三句对于igus：bike优点的描述The igus：bike is zero maintenance andrust-free.It can be left outdoors in all weather and does not require lubricant oil to reduce friction betweenparts.Since it does not attract sand，dust，or dirt，the bike can be cleaned with a garden hose in seconds.（igus：自行车是零维护和无生锈。它可以在任何天气下留在室外，不需要润滑油来减少部件之间的摩擦。由于它不吸沙、灰尘或污垢，用花园软管几秒钟就能清洗干净）可知igus：bike不吸沙、灰尘或污垢，用花园软管几秒钟就能清洗干净，所以它的亮点是很容易维护。故选C项。
（3）段落大意题。根据第三段中The igus：bike will also help relieve the world's plastic pollution problems.The company says a single adult bike gives new life to about 35 pounds of single-use plastic that would otherwise block our landfills or waterways.（igus：bike还将有助于缓解全球塑料污染问题。该公司表示，一辆单独的成人自行车给大约35磅的一次性塑料带来了新的生命，否则这些塑料会堵塞我们的垃圾填埋场或水道）可知，本段主要讲述了igus：bike的在保护环境方面的重要意义。故选D项。
（4）目的意图题。根据第一段中The world is drowning in plastic waste.The huge piles in landfill sites are growing fast.Therefore，it is most urgent to move away from the traditional linear economic model and change to a fully circular economy.To help this transformation，Igus，a Germany-based manufacturer of high-performance plastics，has been developing and investing in the work of recycling plastics for many years.The company is now showing the world a new product，the "igus：bike"，which is the world's first urban bike produced almost entirely from recycled polymer.（世界正淹没在塑料垃圾中。垃圾填埋场的巨大堆积物正在迅速增加。因此，摆脱传统的线性经济模式，向全循环经济转变是当务之急。为了帮助实现这一转变，总部位于德国的高性能塑料制造商Igus多年来一直在开发和投资回收塑料的工作。该公司现在向世界展示了一款新产品"igus：bike"，这是世界上第一款几乎完全由回收聚合物制成的城市自行车）可知，第一段引出igus：bike，后文介绍了igus：bike的优点和对环境的重要意义，以及最后什么时候上市和价格。由此推知，作者本文是用来介绍一种新型的环保的再生塑料制成的自行车。A．To introduce a newly invented plastic bicycle.介绍一种新发明的塑料自行车；B．To stress the importance of technological innovation.强调技术创新的重要性；C．To raise people's awareness of environmental protection.提高人们的环保意识；D．To provide some advice on how to produce a new kind of bike.就如何生产一种新型自行车提供一些建议。故选A项。
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍作为一家生产运动塑料工具的公司，Igus为实现可持续性的发展创造了世界上第一辆由再生塑料制成的自行车。

12~15.【答案】A、C、D、A
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述了美国鸭票的故事，由于美国移民的大量流入，对于农地和住房的急需大量的水禽栖息地被破坏导致美国水禽骤减，因此美国发行了鸭票，狩猎者只有购买了鸭票才能狩猎，而鸭票的部分收入进入到了用于购买水禽栖息地的基金，从而保护了水禽。
1. 
根据第一段中的Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.（上百万公顷的湿地被抽干用作农地或者修建住房，极大地减少了水禽的栖息地）可知，栖息地的减少导致了水禽数量的下降，故选A。
2. 
根据前一句Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely.（北美的土著人把这些珍贵的自然资源保护的很合理），结合本句中的Unfortunately可知，本句与上一句形成了转折，前一句陈述北美土著人做的好的地方，故可知，本句阐述移民者做的不好的地方，即移民者破坏了这些自然资源，故划线词的意思是“破坏”。故选C。
3. 
根据最后一段中的Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.（自1934年起，超过5亿美元进入到了这个基金会，购买了超过500万公顷的水禽栖息地）故可推知，通过发行鸭票，美国政府获得了大量的资金，故选D。
4. 
根据全文可知，由于之前不恰当的发展导致美国水禽骤减，因此美国发行了鸭票，狩猎者只有购买了鸭票才能狩猎，而鸭票的部分收入进入到了用于购买水禽栖息地的基金，从而保护了水禽，故可知，本文讲述的是关于美国鸭票的故事，故选A。

41.【答案】【小题1】a
【小题2】sites
【小题3】Lying
【小题4】as
【小题5】are
【小题6】less beautiful
【小题7】who
【小题8】happily
【小题9】was shut
【小题10】to meet
【解析】（1）考查冠词。句意：杭州在中国历史上扮演了非常重要的角色，因此它有许多保存完好的伟大遗产。表示"扮演非常重要的角色"短语为play a very important role in。故填a。
（2）考查可数名词的复数。句意：杭州在中国历史上扮演了非常重要的角色，因此它有许多保存完好的伟大遗产。根据上文a number of可知应用复数形式。故填sites。
（3）考查现在分词。句意：西湖位于杭州市西区，是杭州的象征，也是中国最美丽的景点之一。分析句子结构，句中已有谓语动词is，此处为非谓语动词作状语，lie与逻辑主语West Lake构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Lying。
（4）考查介词。句意：西湖一直被认为是一颗闪闪发光的明珠。表示"被认为是"短语为be regarded as。故填as。
（5）考查时态。句意：如果你想欣赏整个西湖，有三种景观你需要看--晴天、雨天和夜景。结合句意可知，此处陈述客观事实。句子用一般现在时，主语为three kinds of sight，谓语用复数。故填are。

（7）考查定语从句。句意：据说有一条白蛇变成了一位美丽的女士，她叫白素贞。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为lady，在从句中作主语，指人，故用who。故填who。
（8）考查副词。句意：然后她嫁给了他，幸福地生活在一起。此处用副词作状语修饰动词living，故填happily。
（9）考查时态、语态及主谓一致。句意：白素贞被关在了雷峰塔，这对夫妇再也没有机会见面了。结合句意和had可知，句子为一般过去时，主语为Bai Suzhen，且与shut之间是被动关系。故填was shut。
（10）考查动词不定式。句意：白素贞被关在了雷峰塔，这对夫妇再也没有机会见面了。固定短语have chance to do sth表示"有机会做某事"，其中动词不定式作chance的定语，故填to meet。
本文是一篇说明文，作者介绍了自己的家乡杭州以及关于西湖的一个传说。

42.【答案】My family is a close one.We always  spent much time together.On weekdays,my brothers and I have  the lunch with our mother.At night,we talk about our day over dinner.Although my father is often  tiring after work,he attentively listens∧ what my brothers and I say.Sometimes,he gives us his  advices，too.On weekends,we like to go hiking together.Nature reserves are  when we often go.Our parents are energetic so they have no difficulty  keep up with my brothers and me.My father once said he'd take  ourselves overseas the next year. And the spread of COVID-19 in the world has made it  impossibly.I hope the epidemic will end soon.、
详解：
1.spent改为spend.考查时态。句意：我们总是花很多时间在一起。根据副词always可知，此处应该用一般现在时表示经常性的动作，主语we为复数，动词应用原形。故spent改为spend。
2.去掉lunch前的the.考查冠词。句意：我和我的兄弟们一起和妈妈吃午餐。have lunch意为"吃午餐"，固定搭配。故去掉lunch前的the。
3.tiring改为tired.考查形容词。句意：尽管父亲下班后很累，他还是认真听我和我兄弟们所说的话。形容词tired在此处修饰人，意为"感到疲倦的"，tiring"使人疲劳的"，修饰物，不符合语境。故tiring改为tired。
4.listens后面加to.考查介词。句意：尽管父亲下班后很累，他还是认真听我和我兄弟们所说的话。listen to意为"听"，固定搭配。故listens后面加to。
5.advices改为advice.考查名词的数。句意：有时，他也给我们他的建议。advice"建议"，不可数名词。故advices改为advice。
6.when改为where.考查引导词。句意：自然保护区是我们常去的地方。分析句子结构可知，此处考查表语从句的引导词，结合句意可知，此处应用where作从句的地点状语。故when改为where。
7.keep改为keeping.考查动名词。句意：我们的父母精力充沛，因此他们赶上我们兄弟几个毫不费力。have no difficulty（in）doing sth意为"做某事没困难"，故此处应用动名词作宾语。故keep改为keeping。
8.ourselves改为us.考查代词。句意：父亲曾经说过第二年带我们去国外。结合语境可知，此处指爸爸带"我"和兄弟们去国外，应用代词us作take的宾语。故ourselves改为us。
9.And改为But.考查连词。句意：但是由于世界范围内新冠病毒的蔓延使这个计划变得不可能。根据句意可知，此处应该用but连接两个并列句，表转折。故And改为But。
10.impossibly改为impossible.考查形容词。句意：但是由于世界范围内新冠病毒的蔓延使这个计划变得不可能。分析句子可知，此处应用形容词作宾补。故impossibly改为impossible。

【解析】高分句型一
But I think you should not be beaten by this failure，for Chinese is very different from your native language and it is not an easy thing to deliver a speech in public especially for a speaker who is the second language learner.
翻译：但我认为你不应该被这种失败打败，因为汉语与你的母语非常不同，而且在公共场合发表演讲不是一件容易的事，尤其是对于一个第二语言学习者来说。
分析：句子里，for引导原因状语从句Chinese is very different from your native language and it is not an easy thing to deliver a speech in public especially for a speaker；关系词who引导定语从句is the second language learner。
