The term“Metaverse”(元宇宙)is the latest buzzword(流行语)to capture the tech industry’s imagination. It enjoys such popularity that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has announced recently that he’s changing his company’s name to Meta Platforms Inc. in order to engage in the creative new trend.
This might be the biggest thing to happen to the metaverse since the science fiction writer Neal Stephenson invented the term for his 1992 novel Snow Crash. But Zuckerberg and his team are hardly the only tech giants with ideas on how the metaverse should take shape.
What is the metaverse? Zuckerberg has described it as a “virtual environment” you can go inside of rather than just looking at on a screen. Essentially, it’s a world of interconnected virtual communities where people can meet, work and play, by using virtual reality glasses, smartphone or other devices. The metaverse also could be a game-changer for the work-from-home shift during the COVID-19. Instead of only seeing co-workers on a video call, employees could even join them in a virtual office.
However, Zuckerberg’s support for the metaverse contradicts a central belief of its biggest enthusiasts. They regard the metaverse as online culture’s liberation from tech platforms like Facebook that not only take control of people’s accounts, photos and posts, but also trade off what they collected from that data. “We want to be able to move around the Internet with ease, but we also want to be able to move around the Internet in a way we’re not tracked and monitored, ” said Steve Jang, who focuses on crypto-currency(数字货币)technology.
When it comes to Facebook trying to lead the way into a virtual world, there is a growing concern among some people that it could require even more personal data and cause greater risks for information abuse when the company hasn’t fixed those problems in its current platforms.
8. Why is Zuckerberg changing the name of his company?
A. Because he likes to found the metaverse.
B. Because he intends to get involved in the metaverse.
C. Because he wants to draw public attention.
D. Because he plans to quit his present business.
9. What can people do in the Metaverse?
A. Do everything in the real world.
B. Have meetings in the virtual office.
C. Defeat the pandemic.
D. See co-workers in person.
10. What can be inferred about the central belief of Metaverse fans?
A. The metaverse should be tracked by tech platforms.
B. Tech platforms should possess and trade users’ data.
C. Crypto-currency technology should be monitored.
D. Users should have control over their own data.
11. What is some people’s attitude towards Facebook’s attempt to guide the metaverse?
A. Optimistic.
B. Neutral.
C. Worried.
D. Pessimistic.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了什么是元宇宙以及元宇宙存在的个人数据安全隐患。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It enjoys such popularity that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has announced recently that he’s changing his company’s name to Meta Platforms Inc. in order to engage in the creative new trend. (它如此受欢迎，以至于Facebook的首席执行官马克·扎克伯格最近宣布，他将把公司的名字改为元平台公司，以参与这一创造性的新趋势。)”可知，扎克伯格将公司改名为元平台公司，因为他打算参与元宇宙。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Zuckerberg has described it as a “virtual environment” you can go inside of rather than just looking at on a screen. Essentially, it’s a world of interconnected virtual communities where people can meet, work and play, by using virtual reality glasses, smartphone or other devices. The metaverse also could be a game-changer for the work-from-home shift during the COVID-19. Instead of only seeing co-workers on a video call, employees could even join them in a virtual office. (扎克伯格将其描述为一个“虚拟环境”，你可以进入其中，而不仅仅是在屏幕上观看。从本质上讲，这是一个相互连接的虚拟社区世界，人们可以通过虚拟现实眼镜、智能手机或其他设备在这里见面、工作和娱乐。元宇宙也可能成为COVID-19期间在家工作的游戏规则改变者。员工们不仅可以通过视频电话与同事们见面，还可以在虚拟办公室中与他们会面。)”可推断，在元宇宙，人们可以在虚拟办公室开会。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“However, Zuckerberg’s support for the metaverse contradicts a central belief of its biggest enthusiasts. They regard the metaverse as online culture’s liberation from tech platforms like Facebook that not only take control of people’s accounts, photos and posts, but also trade off what they collected from that data. “We want to be able to move around the Internet with ease, but we also want to be able to move around the Internet in a way we’re not tracked and monitored, ” said Steve Jang, who focuses on crypto-currency(数字货币)technology. (然而，扎克伯格对元宇宙的支持与它最大的狂热者的核心信念相矛盾。他们认为元宇宙是网络文化从Facebook等科技平台中解放出来的产物，这些平台不仅控制着人们的账户、照片和帖子，还会对他们从这些数据中收集到的信息进行交易。“我们希望能够轻松地在互联网上移动，但我们也希望能够以一种不被跟踪和监控的方式在互联网上移动，”专注于加密货币技术的史蒂夫·张说。)”可推断，用户应该对自己的数据有控制权。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“When it comes to Facebook trying to lead the way into a virtual world, there is a growing concern among some people that it could require even more personal data and cause greater risks for information abuse when the company hasn’t fixed those problems in its current platforms. (当谈到Facebook试图引领人们进入虚拟世界时，一些人越来越担心，在该公司尚未在现有平台上解决这些问题的情况下，它可能需要更多的个人数据，并造成更大的信息滥用风险。)”可推断，对于Facebook试图引导元世界，一些人持担心的态度。故选C。
D
Birds that dive underwater — such as penguins, gannets and pelicans — may be more likely to go extinct than their nondiving relatives, a new study reported in Proceedings of the Royal Society finds.
Many waterbirds have evolved highly specialized bodies and behaviors that facilitate diving. Now, an analysis of the evolutionary history of more than 700 waterbird species shows that once a bird group gains the ability to dive, the change is irreversible, which could help explain why diving birds have a higher extinction rate compared with nondiving birds.
“There are considerable morphological(形态学的) adaptations for diving.” says Catherine Sheard, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Bristol in England. For instance, gannets and some pelicans that dive into the water from the air have twists to the neck muscles and the bones in the chest. It’s possible that some diving birds are evolving under an evolutionary “ratchet,” where adaptations to use a certain food source or habitat encourage specialized evolution. These birds may become trapped in their ways, increasing their risk of extinction.
Evolutionary biologists Josh Tyler and Jane Younger investigated the evolution of diving in a collection of 727 waterbird species across 11 bird groups. They explored the link between diving and the development of new species, or their extinction, in various bird lineages(家族). Among 236 diving bird species, 75, or 32 percent, were part of lineages that are experiencing 0.02 more species extinctions per million years than the generation of new species. Bird lineages that don't dive, on the other hand, generated 0.1more new species per million years than the rate of species dying out.
“The more specialized you become, the more reliant you are on a particular diet, foraging(觅食) strategy or environment.” says Tyler. “The range of environments available for foraging is much larger for the nondiving birds than for the specialist divers, and this may play into their ability to adapt and thrive.”
12. What does the underlined word “irreversible” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Unexpected. B. Unchangeable. C. Unreal. D. Unwelcome.
13. Why are “gannets and pelicans” mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To present a fact. B. To illustrate a concept.
C. To give a definition. D. To explain a phenomenon.
14. What do we know about Josh Tyler and Jane Younger’s study?
A. Biologists got the results by comparison.
B. Data were collected by observing waterbirds.
C. 32 diving bird species went extinct during the process.
D. The aim is to build connection between diving and nondiving birds.
15. Which of the following factors plays a role in nondiving birds’ lower extinction rate?
A. Wider habitat range. B. Quicker foraging speed.
C. More food options. D. Stronger reproduction ability.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一项新研究发现，在水下潜水的鸟类可能比不潜水的鸟类更容易灭绝。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。结合语境及画线词后“which could help explain why diving birds have a higher extinction rate compared with nondiving birds(这可能有助于解释为什么潜水鸟比非潜水鸟有更高的灭绝率)”可知，潜水鸟比非潜水鸟有更高的灭绝率，是因为潜水鸟一旦获得了潜水能力，这种变化是不可逆转的，irreversible意为“不可逆转的”。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。第三段首句“There are considerable morphological(形态学的) adaptations for diving.(潜水有相当大的形态学适应)”提到潜水有相当大的形态学适应，接着下文“For instance, gannets and some pelicans that dive into the water from the air have twists to the neck muscles and the bones in the chest.(例如，塘鹅和一些鹈鹕从空中跳入水中时，颈部肌肉和胸部骨骼都有扭曲)”提到塘鹅和一些鹈鹕从空中跳入水中时，颈部肌肉和胸部骨骼都有扭曲，是呈现一个事实证明上述观点。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“They explored the link between diving and the development of new species, or their extinction, in various bird lineages(家族). Among 236 diving bird species, 75, or 32 percent, were part of lineages that are experiencing 0.02 more species extinctions per million years than the generation of new species. Bird lineages that don't dive, on the other hand, generated 0.1more new species per million years than the rate of species dying out.(他们在不同的鸟类谱系中探索了潜水与新物种发展或灭绝之间的联系。在236种潜水鸟中，有75种（32%）是每百万年灭绝的物种数量比新物种数量多0.02种的世系。另一方面，不潜水的鸟类谱系每百万年产生的新物种比物种灭绝的速度多0.1个)”可知，生物学家是通过比较潜水鸟和非潜水鸟与新物种发展或灭绝之间的联系而得出研究结果的。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The range of environments available for foraging is much larger for the nondiving birds than for the specialist divers, and this may play into their ability to adapt and thrive.(对于不潜水的鸟类来说，觅食环境的范围比专业潜水员大得多，这可能有助于它们适应和茁壮成长的能力)”可知，不潜水的鸟类觅食环境更广泛，这有助于它们适应和茁壮成长的能力，因此更不容易灭绝。故选A。

Calendars are for managing your time. They work overtime to keep the messiness of human life confined into neat little grids, squeezing our lives into seconds, minutes and hours. I appreciate a calendar’s determined efforts to manage time. ___16___ For the past several years, I’ve kept a planner with me at all times. The real magic in planners, to me, comes in the blank space where I reflect on the past and imagine the future. Cracking open a fresh week’s layout on a Monday morning and seeing the empty pages expand like a canvas waiting to be filled, the tone of the week yet to be set, the possibilities endless.
You start by creating a wish list for your ideal life. The idea is to be as specific as possible. You then pick the one goal that would have the biggest positive impact. You break that goal down into smaller tasks, and then prioritize them. ___17___ This method turns a general idea in your head into something that you can actually accomplish. From there, you can reflect every month on how you spent your time, and whether what you did actually is consistent with the goals you set.
___18___ It leaves no digital footprint, but it does leave a paper trail that you can look back on for years to come. It doesn’t buzz impatiently when you don’t look at it, and it will not be exported to Outlook. It requires you to sit in quiet conversation with yourself, reflecting on your past and visualizing your future. It forces me to answer hard truths, like what do I really want out of life and am I spending my days in line with who I want to be. ___19___
Planning helps me ensure that I’m not a passenger at the mercy of my calendar, but rather driving toward a destination that I choose. ___20___ And some really nice pens.
A. Then, add those tasks to the calendar.
B. There’s no pressure to make it perfect.
C. But planners are for dreaming without limits.
D. It’s easy to appreciate calendars for their usefulness.
E. Using a paper planner brings me both joy and a sense of calm.

【答案】16. C 17. A 18. E 19. G 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了paper planner (纸张规划簿)，它可以给作者带来快乐与平静，表达了作者对它的喜爱。
【16题详解】
上文“Calendars are for managing your time. They work overtime to keep the messiness of human life confined into neat little grids, squeezing our lives into seconds, minutes and hours. I appreciate a calendar’s determined efforts to manage time. (日历用于管理您的时间。它们加班加点，把人类生活中的混乱局限在整洁的小格子里，把我们的生活压缩成几秒钟、几分钟和几小时。我欣赏日历为管理时间所做的坚定努力)”讲述了日历的作用，它把人们的生活限制在整齐的小格子中，作者表示出对日历的欣赏。下文“For the past several years, I’ve kept a planner with me at all times. The real magic in planners, to me, comes in the blank space where I reflect on the past and imagine the future. Cracking open a fresh week’s layout on a Monday morning and seeing the empty pages expand like a canvas waiting to be filled, the tone of the week yet to be set, the possibilities endless. (在过去的几年里，我一直都有一个规划簿。对我来说，规划簿的真正魔力来自于我反思过去和想象未来的空白空间。在周一的早晨打开一周的新布局，看到空白的页面像画布一样展开，等待填满，本周的基调尚未设定，可能性无限)”讲到在过去的几年里，作者一直随身带着一个规划簿，它给作者的神奇魔力是空白的空间，给作者无限可能，没有束缚。因此，可以推断出空格内容应表示转折对比，体现规划簿的没有束缚特征，C选项“但规划簿支持无限制的梦想。”切题。故选C项。
【17题详解】
上文“You start by creating a wish list for your ideal life. The idea is to be as specific as possible. You then pick the one goal that would have the biggest positive impact. You break that goal down into smaller tasks, and then prioritize them. (你首先要为你的理想生活建立一个愿望清单。想法是尽可能具体。然后你选择一个会产生最大积极影响的目标。你将目标分解为较小的任务，然后对它们进行优先级排序)”讲到列一个详细的愿望清单，挑选一个最有积极影响的目标，然后把它们分成一个个小任务，然后排序。下文“This method turns a general idea in your head into something that you can actually accomplish. From there, you can reflect every month on how you spent your time, and whether what you did actually is consistent with the goals you set. (这种方法将你头脑中的一个总的想法转变为你可以实际完成的事情。从那里，你可以每个月反思你是如何度过时间的，以及你所做的事情是否与你设定的目标一致)”讲到这个方法的作用，在那里可以反映出你每个月时间的分配。因此，可以推断，空格中应对上文的小任务进行处理。下文的there有所指，故选项中应出现一个东西或者地方，结合第一段讲到日历的作用可知，there指日历，A选项“然后，将这些任务添加到日历中。”切题。故选A项。
【18题详解】
段首的空格，因此我们要往后看。由下文“It leaves no digital footprint, but it does leave a paper trail that you can look back on for years to come. It doesn’t buzz impatiently when you don’t look at it, and it will not be exported to Outlook. It requires you to sit in quiet conversation with yourself, reflecting on your past and visualizing your future. (它没有留下数字足迹，但它确实留下了纸上的痕迹，你可以在未来几年回顾。当你不看它时，它不会不耐烦地发出嗡嗡声，也不会导出到Outlook。它要求你与自己静静地交谈，反思你的过去，想象你的未来)”可知，空格处是这一段的总起句，这个“它”指的就是paper planner (纸张规划簿)，纸张规划簿给作者带来了平静，E选项“使用纸张规划簿给我带来了快乐和平静。”切题。故选E项。
【19题详解】
由上文“It forces me to answer hard truths, like what do I really want out of life and am I spending my days in line with who I want to be. (它迫使我回答一些残酷的事实，比如我真正想要的是什么，我的日子是按照我想成为的人度过的吗)”讲到纸张规划簿促使作者回答一些残酷的事实，让作者思考真正想从生活中得到什么，有没有活成自己想要的样子。因此，可以推测，这个空格也是在探讨生活究竟是什么，G选项“毕竟，我们的生活是我们如何花费时间和关注什么的总和。”切题。故选G项。
【20题详解】
上文“Planning helps me ensure that I’m not a passenger at the mercy of my calendar, but rather driving toward a destination that I choose. (计划有助于我确保我不是一个受日历支配的乘客，而是朝着我选择的目的地开车)”讲到计划帮助作者确保自己不是一个被日历支配的旅客，而是驶向自己选择的终点，再结合下文“And some really nice pens. (还有一些非常漂亮的钢笔)”可知，写计划需要钢笔，因此，可以推断空格内容要承上启下。承接上文计划是一个重要的仪式，引起下文，它需要重量和仪式，也需要好的钢笔。F选项“这是一个值得重视和仪式的重要仪式。”切题。故选F项。

第二节(共10小题;每小题2分，满分20分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
What comes to mind when you think of Chinese kung fu? For Laurence J. Brahm, a US filmmaker who recently completed his ___36___ (late) work Searching for Kung Fu, the first thing ___37___ springs to mind is the concept of non-violence.
The official Chinese name for kung fu is wushu. As Brahm explained, if you break down the character “wu”, it ___38___ (consist) of two characters: one is “ge”, meaning dagger-axe (戈); the other is “zhi”, meaning stopping. So, the meaning of kung fu is not the “art of fighting”. On the contrary, he said, kung fu is the art of stopping fighting, the art of non-violence.
In making his film Brahm looked into different forms of kung fu widely___39___ (practice) in China, interviewing many masters and scholars. Kung fu practitioners salute with ‘baoquan’, literally meaning ‘fist wrapping’, which shows two things at least. One is that you have a fist, but you’re also not using it. And then you’re showing ‘I have no hidden weapons’. It’s trust,” he said.
“Kung fu masters will avoid ___40___ (fight) at all costs. Although you know how to use force, you are the last one ___41___ (use) force, because you know the outcome of this thing.” “Kung fu, in my eyes, is ___42___ mirror of Chinese culture,” Brahm said. “It reminds you why China adopts a policy of not wanting to have conflict with other countries.”
Brahm believes that today’s world ___43___ (urgent) needs to restart equal exchanges between countries, ___44___ that culture and sports, such as kung fu, can serve ____45____ a great channel and platform.
【答案】36. latest
37. that 38. consists
39. practiced
40. fighting
41. to use 42. a
43. urgently
44. and 45. as
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了美国电影制作人Laurence J. Brahm制作的新影片Searching for Kung Fu及其对中国功夫的深刻理解。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：但对于美国电影制作人 Laurence J. Brahm来说他首先想到是非暴力的概念，他最近完成了他的最新作品《寻找功夫》。结合句意和句子结构，空处作定语，意为“最新的”，应用形容词late的最高级latest。故填latest。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。空处引导限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，指物的先行词thing被序数词修饰，只能用关系代词that引导。故填that。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：正如Brahm解释的那样，如果你把“武”这个字分解，它包含两个字：一个是“戈”，意思是匕首斧；另一个是“止”，意思是停止。空处为主句谓语动词，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，故谓语动词应用单数形式。故填consists。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在拍摄这部电影时，Brahm考察了中国广泛使用的不同形式的功夫，采访了许多大师和学者。句中已有谓语动词looked into，故空处应填非谓语动词，practice和kung fu之间是逻辑被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。故填practiced。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“功夫大师会不惜一切代价避免打架。虽然你知道如何使用武力，但你是最后一个使用武力人，因为你知道这件事的结果。”根据短语avoid doing“避免做某事”可知，空处应填所给词的动名词形式作宾语。故填fighting。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。主句中已有谓语动词are，空处应填非谓语动词，代词one被the last修饰，因此引用不定式作后置定语。故填to use。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：Brahm说：“在我看来，功夫是中国文化的一面镜子。”mirror“镜子”是可数名词，此处为泛指，应用不定冠词修饰，且该词的第一个音素是辅音音素，故填a。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：Brahm认为，当今世界迫切需要重启国家之间的平等交流，功夫等文化和体育可以成为一个很好的渠道和平台。修饰动词needs应用所给词的副词形式。故填urgently。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，“that today’s world 　　　9　　　 (urgent) needs to restart equal exchanges between countries”和“that culture and sports, such as kung fu, can serve 　　　10　　　 a great channel and platform.”是并列的宾语从句，应用and连接。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意同上8小题。serve as“充当，用作”是固定短语。故填as。

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes...but I don’t have money on me…” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
注意:
1）所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2）续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好.
Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. "Where could my mother be?" she wondered, "was she still angry with me?" Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2: A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. "Here you come! I've been looking for you," she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn't help throwing herself into her mother's arms. "Mum, I'm so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me." She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently.
