一、阅读理解
Eggs-perimenting with eggs
What can you do with eggs other than eat them?
Naked Eggs
What does an egg look like without its shell? You may be picturing the white and yolk in a bowl after cracking it, but that isn’t the only way to remove the shell.
Materials: an egg, white vinegar, a bowl, a spoon
Directions: Fill a bowl with one cup of vinegar. Add the egg to the bowl, and wait at least 24 hours. When you check it after a day, you’ll notice some bubbles on the egg and a residue (残留物) in the water. Use the spoon to gently remove the egg from the bowl. Dump out the old vinegar, and add a cup of fresh vinegar. Return the egg to the bowl, and wait another 24 hours. When you remove the egg this time, the shell should be completely dissolved. What remains will be the contents of the egg.
Walking on Eggshells
Can Eggs hold the weight of your entire body?
Materials: six cartons (硬纸盒) of eggs, a garbage bag
Directions: Place the garbage bag on the floor to make any necessary clean up easier. Place the cartons of eggs into two rows of three. Make sure all the eggs are pointing in the same direction— either all pointy end up or all rounded end up. Step onto the first carton of eggs carefully. Make sure your foot is as flat as possible and that you are distributing your weight evenly. If you’re careful, you will succeed. Eggs are actually incredibly strong. The arch shape at the top and the bottom of the egg allows pressure to be distributed evenly over the egg. If you were to place the eggs on their sides instead, you’d be likely to wind up with a gooey (胶粘的) mess.
1．In the first experiment, what causes the eggshell to dissolve?
A．Vinegar. B．Water. C．Bubbles. D．Residue
2．What makes the eggs strong enough to walk across?
A．The position of eggs. B．The number of eggs.
C．The weight of eggs. D．The distribution of eggs.
3．What was the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A．To persuade readers to use eggs in new ways.
B．To entertain readers with funny use for eggs.
C．To tell readers some ways to experiment with eggs.
D．To inspire readers to conduct experiments carefully.

Nick Verel, a 53-year-old kidney transplant (肾脏移植) recipient in Ohio, should have been near the top of the list to receive a COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗). Yet like millions of others, he wasn’t having any luck scheduling an appointment. Nick would sit with computers on his lap trying for hours to book an appointment on different sites, which ended up in vain no matter how concentrated he was. “I felt hopeless,” Nick says.
Then he heard about Zwinggi, a 40-year-old mother of three who was helping to secure appointments for vulnerable individuals like Nick. So he messaged Zwinggi on Facebook: Can you help? Thirty-five minutes later, Zwinggi reported back—Nick successfully had an appointment to get the vaccine.
Zwinggi’s vaccine hunting started on February 1, when she learned that her parents—her father has diabetes and her mother is a breast cancer survivor with a heart condition—were unable to get appointments themselves. She hated that they had to wait. Clicking around on vaccine registration sites, Zwinggi, who has helped her husband develop websites, says “It was like trying to get a ticket to the Baseball World Series final”.
She applied strategies that web insiders are familiar with (keeping multiple browsers open, refreshing sites every 20 seconds, erasing cookies) and added a few of her special skills. “I drink a lot of coffee, and I’m a fast typer,” she says. Soon enough, Zwinggi had secured appointments for both of her parents. “I felt like a rock star,” she says.
Zwinggi decided that helping others would be her way of giving back. “I feel like I need to will us out of this pandemic,” she says. On February 10, she logged on to Facebook to let people know that she was assisting with bookings. By March 2, she’d secured appointments for 400 people, a feat (壮举) that made Nick conclude, “Marla is an angel.”
4．The underlined words “vulnerable individuals” in paragraph 2 refer to those ______.
A．who are too old to book an appointment. B．who need vaccine badly with serious disease.
C．who have little experience with computers. D．who have little spare time with many kids.
5．Why did Zwinggi start to search for vaccines online?
A．Because she has helped her husband develop websites.
B．Because Nick made contact with her on Facebook for help.
C．Because her parents failed to secure appointments themselves.
D．Because she was familiar with the vaccine registration sites.
6．Which of the following best describes Zwinggi?
A．Caring and confident B．Passionate and persevering
C．Thoughtful and talented D．Supportive and skillful
7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．A Tough Battle Against COVID- 19 B．The Vaccine Hunter
C．A Great Way to Get the Vaccine D．The Vaccine Chaos

Top European hotel chains are hiring workers without experience or even a resume as executives admit years of underpaying staff have come back to bite, leaving them unable to meet post-pandemic travel demand.
Thousands of workers left the hospitality industry (酒店业) when international travel shut down during the COVID- 19 pandemic. Many chose not to return, finding better paid employment elsewhere, leaving hoteliers facing a desperate shortage.
Europe’s largest hotelier Accor ACCP. PA is running trial initiatives to recruit people who haven’t previously worked in the industry, Chief Executive Sebastien Bazin said at the Qatar Economic Forum last month.” We tried in Lyon and Bordeaux 10 days ago and this weekend we’re having people interviewed with no resume, no prior job experience and they are hired within 24 hours. The new recruits are given six hours of training and learn on the job,” he said.
In the short term, Accor is filling roles in France with young people and migrants while also limiting services. “It’s students, people coming from North Africa,” Bazin said. “And basically closing restaurants for lunch or opening them only five days a week. There’s no other solution.”
Staff shortages are particularly pressing in Spain and Portugal. Spain’s hospitality industry is 200,000 workers short and Portuguese hotels need at least 15,000 more people to meet growing demand, according to national hospitality associations.
Bazin said that while hotels are only 60 percent or 70 percent occupied they can cope with staff shortages, but the time will come when they’re fully booked.
“In the past, the industry has neither paid enough or focused on developing staff,” Bazin said, “Half of it is that we’ve been blind, we’ve been not paying attention to a lot of people and probably underpaying some people for too long as well,” he said. “So it’s a wake-up call.”
8．What problem is the European hospitality industry facing?
A．Shortage of resources. B．International travel bans.
C．Staffing challenges. D．Dissatisfactory service.
9．What’s the essential reason for the problem?
A．The travel demand is increasing. B．The job is highly demanding.
C．The hospitality industry isn’t developed. D．The staff hasn’t been fairly paid.
10．What needs to be done before someone starts working in Accor at present?
A．Explaining previous work experience. B．Sending the resume in advance.
C．Receiving a six-hour training for the job. D．Going through a competitive interview.
11．Which of the following would Bazin agree with concerning the problem?
A．Hoteliers have been turning a blind eye to the problem.
B．The problem is a reminder that hotel staff deserves attention.
C．The problem is too pressing for hoteliers to address right now.
D．The problem can be solved with the help of students and migrants.

New research found that children with positive, early interactions with their care givers - characterized by warmth, responsiveness, and a stimulating home environment -were at reduced risk of childhood obesity.
“A lot of the discussion around childhood obesity and other health risks focuses on identifying and studying the exposure to risk,” said Professor Brandi Rollins. ”We took a strength-based approach in our analysis. We found that a supportive family and environment early in a child’s life may outweigh some of the cumulative (累计的)risk factors that children can face. ”
The study recently appeared in the journal Pediatrics. In the article, Rollins analyzed data from over 1,000 mother-child pairs and found that children’s early exposures to family psychosocial assets (有价值的 事物)- including a quality home environment, emotional warmth from the mother, and a child’s ability to self-regulate - reduced the risk of developing childhood obesity.
“Research on parenting has shown that these types of family assets influence children’s behavior, academic success, career, and-not surprisingly - health,” Rollins said. “It’s inspiring to know that, by providing a loving, safe environment, we can reduce the risk that children will develop obesity.”
This work is based on research in parenting and child development. Responsive parenting, one of the family assets measured in the study, involves responding to children in a timely, sensitive, and age-appropriate manner based on the child’s presenting needs. This study focused on childhood obesity, but the researchers said that parents may improve many outcomes for their children by learning responsive-parenting skills. Knowledge of responsive-parenting skills, however, may not lead directly to implementing those skills in the home.
“No one can read a pamphlet (小册子) about cars and suddenly expect to drive,” said Rollins. “Driving is a skill that requires education and practice. The same is true of responsive parenting. Public health professionals, clinicians, and researchers must collaborate to help families develop psychosocial assets, including responsive parenting and a structured home environment. This could improve childhood obesity rates and other important quality-of-life outcomes,” she continued.
12．What was the focus of the new research?
A．The potential psychosocial causes of childhood obesity.
B．Contributing factors to children’s reduced risk of obesity.
C．The link between childhood obesity and other health risks.
D．The harmful impacts of obesity on kids’ psychosocial health.
13．According to the text, kids _______ are less likely to develop obesity.
A．living in a loving home environment B．leading a high quality life
C．good at expressing their emotions D．having a balanced diet
14．Why does the author mention driving in the last paragraph?
A．To show reading instructions isn’t a good way to learn driving.
B．To indicate not everyone can acquire driving skills without training.
C．To illustrate responsive-parenting skills require education and practice.
D．To stress it’s necessary to learn knowledge of responsive-parenting skills.
15．Which of the following would Professor Rollins agree with?
A．Kids’ early exposures to family psychosocial assets are hard to measure.
B．Kids’ academic success largely depends on family psychosocial assets.
C．Responsive parenting is the most important family psychosocial asset.
D．Developing psychosocial assets is a joint effort of experts and families.


二、七选五
Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. 16 They are also fast. They can sprint as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet horizontally. This makes for an extremely dangerous attack. You might not think that such large, fast, and ferocious creatures need help to survive, but they do. 17
Tigers are hunted for many reasons. People have long valued the famous striped skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, they are worth around $10,000 on the black-market. 18 Many Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have healing properties.
19 However, perhaps more damage has been caused through the destruction of habitat. Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, but over the past 100 years, tigers have lost 93% of their historic range.
A major obstacle to preserving tigers is the enormous amount of territory that each tiger requires. Each wild tiger demands between 200 and 300 square miles. Tigers are also both territorial and solitary (独居的) animals. 20 Since tigers need so much territory, it is difficult for conservationists to acquire land enough to support a large population of tigers. Even when these considerable spaces are provided, it is even more difficult to move around such large areas to prevent the illegal hunting. There is no easy way to preserve the wild tiger population without making large sacrifices.
A．The tiger is an endangered species.
B．Restoring the world’s tiger population is possible.
C．Other parts of the tiger can also fetch a pretty penny.
D．That’s because tigers are the largest of all cat species.
E．Traditional Chinese medicine use tiger bones in some prescriptions.
F．This means they generally do not share with other tigers the areas they claim.
G．Humans have done considerable damage to the tiger population through hunting.

六、读后续写
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。
I’ve spent my adult life as a college professor teaching people how to think more creatively and use more of their brainpower. Interestingly, this lifetime passion was awakened by a casual contest when I was a child.
At a family picnic for employees of the company where my father worked, they held contests for the children — who could blow the biggest bubble-gum (泡泡糖) bubble, who could hop the longest on one leg. I was 13, full of enthusiasm and the spirit of competition, so I threw myself into the contests. The grand finale, the handkerchief-throwing contest, I realize now, was not meant to demonstrate any real skill, but simply for laughs. But it stirred my love of thinking outside the box.
The judge gave each of the dozen children a cloth handkerchief and told us the winner would be the one who threw it the farthest. The first throwers, the little ones, took mighty wind-ups (挥臂动作), but when the cloth left their hands, it opened and fluttered (飘动) to the ground a few inches in front of them. The crowd roared with laughter, and being 13, I didn’t like adults laughing at us.
So it made me angry to see the kids throwing harder when the handkerchief always opened, caught the air and died. The secret was not to throw harder but to keep the cloth from opening. Suppose I hid a rock in the cloth without tying it. The rock would drive the cloth at least farther than the others, and when they separated, people might not notice a small rock landing in the grass. I had a good chance of getting away with it, but I didn’t want to win by cheating. What I really wanted to do was to show them that a kid could beat them at their own game. I had to make the handkerchief fly like a rock. Like a rock! That was it! But the question was how.
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。
Paragraph 1: I was thinking really hard when suddenly a good idea struck me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: “It’s just the handkerchief,” the judge declared, holding it up and untying the knots (结).

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了两个用鸡蛋做实验的方法。
1．细节理解题。根据Naked Eggs下的Directions：“Fill a bowl with one cup of vinegar. Add the egg to the bowl, and wait at least 24 hours. When you check it after a day, you’ll notice some bubbles on the egg and a residue (残留物) in the water. Use the spoon to gently remove the egg from the bowl. Dump out the old vinegar, and add a cup of fresh vinegar. Return the egg to the bowl, and wait another 24 hours. When you remove the egg this time, the shell should be completely dissolved. What remains will be the contents of the egg. (在碗中加入一杯醋。将鸡蛋加入碗中，等待至少24小时。当你一天后检查它时，你会注意到鸡蛋上有一些气泡和水中的残留物。用勺子轻轻地把鸡蛋从碗里舀出来。倒出旧醋，加入一杯新醋。将鸡蛋放回碗中，再等24小时。当你这次取出鸡蛋时，蛋壳应该完全溶解了。剩下的将是蛋的成分（蛋黄和蛋清）。)” 可知在第一个实验中，是醋导致蛋壳溶解，故选A。
2．细节理解题。根据Walking on Eggshells下的“Eggs are actually incredibly strong. The arch shape at the top and the bottom of the egg allows pressure to be distributed evenly over the egg. If you were to place the eggs on their sides instead, you’d be likely to wind up with a gooey (胶粘的) mess.（鸡蛋实际上非常结实。鸡蛋顶部和底部的拱形形状可以使压力均匀地分布在鸡蛋上。如果你把鸡蛋放在它们的侧面，你可能会得到一团黏糊糊的东西。）” 可知是鸡蛋的分布让这些蛋足够结实，可以走过去，故选D。
3．推理判断题。通读全文，可知文章主要讲述两个用鸡蛋做实验的方法，所以目的就是告诉我们鸡蛋除了吃，还可以用来做实验以及具体的实验方法，故选C。

Clicking around on vaccine registration sites, Zwinggi, who has helped her husband develop websites, says “It was like trying to get a ticket to the Baseball World Series final”.(Zwinggi寻找疫苗的工作始于2月1日，当时她得知她的父母——她的父亲患有糖尿病，她的母亲是患有心脏病的乳腺癌幸存者——无法自己预约疫苗。她讨厌他们不得不等待。Zwinggi帮助她的丈夫开发了一些网站，她点击了一些疫苗注册网站，她说：“这就像试图买一张棒球世界系列赛决赛的门票。”)”可知，Zwinggi开始在网上搜索疫苗是因为她的父母自己没能预约到。故选C。
6．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She applied strategies that web insiders are familiar with (keeping multiple browsers open, refreshing sites every 20 seconds, erasing cookies) and added a few of her special skills. “I drink a lot of coffee, and I’m a fast typer,” she says.(她采用了网络内部人士熟悉的策略（保持多个浏览器打开，每20秒刷新一次网站，删除cookie），并添加了一些她的特殊技能。“我喝很多咖啡，而且打字很快，”她说)”以及最后一段“Zwinggi decided that helping others would be her way of giving back.( Zwinggi认为帮助他人是她回馈社会的方式)”可推知，Zwinggi乐于助人且对预约疫苗很熟练。故选D。
7．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“By March 2, she’d secured appointments for 400 people, a feat (壮举) that made Nick conclude, “Marla is an angel.”(到3月2日，她已经为400人安排了预约，这一壮举让尼克得出结论：“玛拉是一位天使。”)”结合文章主要说明了Zwinggi帮助他人预约疫苗的事迹。可知，B选项“疫苗搜寻者”最符合文章标题。故选B。

16．根据上文“Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. (好吧，如果大小和这件事有关系的话，老虎会赢。)”可推测后文是说老虎会赢的原因，选项D “那是因为老虎是所有猫科动物中体型最大的。”符合题意，并且选项中的“the largest”呼应上文的“size”，故选D。
17．根据上文“You might not think that such large, fast, and ferocious creatures need help to survive, but they do. (你可能认为如此庞大、快速、凶猛的生物不需要帮助也能生存，但它们确实需要。) ”可推测下文说明老虎这么凶猛的生物也需要帮助的原因，A选项“老虎是濒临灭绝的物种。”符合题意，故选A。
18．根据上文“Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, they are worth around $10,000 on the black-market. (虽然现在交易虎皮在世界上大部分地区都是非法的，但在黑市上它们的价值约为1万美元。) ”可推测下文也是讲用老虎的其他部分赚钱，C选项“老虎的其他部位也能卖个好价钱。”紧扣上文，并且选项中的“Other parts”照应下文的“various tiger parts”，故选C。
19．根据下文“However, perhaps more damage has been caused through the destruction of habitat.

20．根据上文“Tigers are also both territorial and solitary (独居的) animals. (老虎也是有领地意识和独居的动物。) ”和下文“Since tigers need so much territory, it is difficult for conservationists to acquire land enough to support a large population of tigers. (由于老虎需要如此多的领地，自然资源保护主义者很难获得足够的土地来养活大量的老虎。)”可推测设空处是关于老虎需要领地的话题，F选项“这意味着它们通常不会与其他老虎共享自己的领地。”承上启下，符合题意，故选F。

21．C 22．A 23．D 24．B 25．B 26．A 27．C 28．C 29．D 30．B 31．A 32．B 33．D 34．A 35．C

47．   I was thinking really hard when suddenly a good idea struck me. I secretly tied knot after knot until it was the size of a little rock. When it was my turn, there were a dozen cloth handkerchiefs littering the ground. I took a long wind-up, and the balled handkerchief rocketed off into the trees approximately 60 feet away. The emcee stared at me, with narrowed eyes, shocked, and then ran to locate the balled handkerchief. Before the emcee found my handkerchief, a man said, “He must have cheated.”
   “It’s just the handkerchief,” the judge declared, holding it up and untying the knots (结). “We didn’t say he couldn’t tie it.” The adults burst into applause and I felt proud and thrilled. But it was more than that. What I learned from this contest was the secret to creative thinking. If you want to maximize your brainpower, you can’t accept rules at face value. You should think deeply about the rules, use your imagination as much as possible, and be creative to do what the rules require, so that you can break the rules and be innovative.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为一名大学教授，教导人们如何更有创造性地思考，如何更多地利用他们的脑力，作者一生的这种激情是在小时候的一次偶然的比赛中被唤醒的，作者回忆了那次比赛，那是一个扔手帕的比赛，谁扔得最远谁就赢，孩子们用力扔的时候手帕总是打开，秘诀不在于用力扔，而在于不让布张开，作者原本想在手帕里藏个石头，但是他不想作弊，他得让手帕像石头一样飞起来。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我正在苦苦思索，突然想到一个好主意。”可知，第一段可描写作者的好主意是什么以及所取得的结果。
②由第二段首句内容“‘这只是手帕，’法官说着举起手帕，解开了上面的结。”可知，第二段可描写作者的收获。
2.续写线索：打结——手帕飞得很远——主持人盯着作者——有人怀疑作者作弊——主持人解释只有手帕而已——观众鼓掌——作者感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①打结：tie knot after knot/kink knot after knot
②高速飞走：rocket off/fly away swiftly
③盯着：stare at/gaze at
情绪类
①震惊的：shocked/astonished
②兴奋的：thrilled/excited
【点睛】[高分句型1] When it was my turn, there were a dozen cloth handkerchiefs littering the ground. (由when引导的时间状语从句)
[高分句型2] What I learned from this contest was the secret to creative thinking. (由what引导的主语从句)
