【3题详解】
推理判断题。由Sea World San Diego中的“A 6-minute ride called Journey to Atlantis, which is to open in late May, tells the legend of the island nation. (这趟名为“亚特兰蒂斯之旅”的6分钟车程将于5月下旬开放,讲述这个岛国的传奇故事)”可知,游客也许能听到一些关于亚特兰蒂斯岛的故事。故选B。
B
If you’re like me, patience is a virtue that doesn’t come without effort. It takes a lot of practice, and I’m devoting a year to the pursuit. Patience is my word for 2022. Maybe you’ re still trying to settle on yours, and I’d love to hear about it.
I picked patience one Saturday after my daughter Evie had pressed the “Can I call you later?” auto reply instead of answering her cell phone. Twice. I’d waited a couple hours in between calls, and that was after having texted her first thing that morning just to say hi. Worry built while I cleaned the fish tank, slightly admiring the simple aquatic life.
Evie was a college student, living off campus with three roommates. They looked out for one another, all were smart and careful, and I had no reason to think Evie was in real trouble. But maybe she’d had a spat with one of her friends or was running low on money. Maybe she was drowning in schoolwork. I imagined a million what-ifs. Weren’t cell phones made to put a parent’s mind at ease? Evie was going to get a mouthful when she finally found a free minute to tell me that I didn’t need to worry.
I filled the aquarium with fresh water, and my impatience reached the top as well. The fish swam laps in the crystal-clear tank. I wished I were more like these peaceful angels living in the moment. Evie finally called late that night. She was at a party but wanted to catch me before I went to bed. “Sorry, Mom. Today was so busy and great!” I told her that was just what I had imagined. I didn’t mention that I was practicing a whole new way to wait.
4. Why did the author become worried at the beginning?
A. Evie’s roommates treated her unkindly. B. Evie forgot to say hello to her as usual.
C. Something went wrong with her fish. D. She couldn’t reach Evie on the phone.
5. What does the underlined phrase “had a spat” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Chatted. B. Shopped. C. Quarreled. D. Played.
6. What do we know about Evie?
A. She spent that Saturday with her friends. B. She lived with her classmates in the dorm.
C. She failed to ring back her mom in the end. D. She had trouble returning to school timely.
7. What’s the text mainly about?
A. A college student’s busy academic life. B. The importance of patience in daily life.
C. The author’s favorite word for 2022. D. A mother’s deep love for her daughter.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了周六,作者找不到女儿Evie,女儿不接电话,这让作者非常担心。但最后女儿打来电话报告行踪,作者却没有提到自己有多担心她。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I picked patience one Saturday after my daughter Evie had pressed the “Can I call you later?” auto reply instead of answering her cell phone. Twice. I’d waited a couple hours in between calls, and that was after having texted her first thing that morning just to say hi.(一个星期六,在我女儿Evie按下“我能晚点打给你吗?”自动回复,而不是接手机。两次。我在两个电话之间等了几个小时,那是在早上给她发短信问候之后)”可知,作者一开始会担心是因为她打电话找不到Evie。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“I had no reason to think Evie was in real trouble(我没有理由认为伊维真的遇到麻烦了)”以及后文“with one of her friends or was running low on money”可知,but表示转折,说明作者开始想象女儿和朋友发生了争吵,或者手头没钱了。故画线词意思是“争吵”。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Evie finally called late that night. She was at a party but wanted to catch me before I went to bed.( Evie那天深夜终于打来了电话。她在一个聚会上,但想在我睡觉前找到我)”可知,Evie和朋友一起度过了那个星期六。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you’re like me, patience is a virtue that doesn’t come without effort. It takes a lot of practice, and I’m devoting a year to the pursuit. Patience is my word for 2022. Maybe you’ re still trying to settle on yours, and I’d love to hear about it.(如果你像我一样,耐心是一种美德,它不会不劳而获。这需要大量的练习,我花了一年的时间来追求。耐心是我2022年的用词。 也许你还在努力确定你的计划,我很想听听)”以及最后一段中“I didn’t mention that I was practicing a whole new way to wait.(我没说我在练习一种全新的等待方式)”结合文章主要讲述了周六,作者找不到女儿Evie,女儿不接电话,这让作者非常担心。但最后女儿打来电话报告行踪,作者却没有提到自己有多担心她。可知,这篇文章主要讲的是母亲对女儿的深爱。故选D。
C
Reading doesn’t come naturally to people, but most of us have learned how. Eighty-six percent of the world’s population is literate(有读写能力的),and this rate has been increasing for centuries. Literacy makes it possible to navigate a world filled with books, websites, text messages, road signs and more.
Could a growing number of people participate in today’s world without reading or writing at all? Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices now talk to us and take spoken commands. Smart cars ask for a destination and then give directions.Smart virtual assistants listen for requests to report the weather, play a song, set a timer, order groceries, and much more. Software can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. These interactions aren’t perfect-the software still makes silly mistakes. But it’s getting better and better. It’s possible to imagine a future world where all of our communication with our devices and each other is spoken.
But reading and writing are powerful tools.For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster or audio book narrator speaks at around150to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can cruise through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they read as opposed to listen. Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain. In her book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf writes that with the invention of reading, human beings “rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn expanded the ways we were able to think, which changed the intellectual evolution of our species.” Would we really choose to give up that progress?What do you think? Do you hope people keep on reading and writing, or will technology make literacy obsolete(淘汰的)?
8. What does the 2nd paragraph focus on?
A. Technology makes up for illiteracy. B. Many people have problems with literacy.
C. Technology is a double-edged sword. D. Technology is changing fast.
9. Compared to listening, what will a person do when reading?
A. Gather more information. B. Remember less clearly.
C. Show less interest. D. Learn more words.
10. Why does the author mention Maryanne’s book?
A. To give an example of a book on reading.
B. To show the evolution of human beings.
C. To prove that reading is related with brain.
D. To illustrate the need for reading and writing.
11. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A textbook. B. A blog post.
C. A book review. D. An academic article.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了当今社会科技使人不读不写就能融入社会,但是读写能力仍然是最强大的认知工具。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Could a growing number of people participate in today’s world without reading or writing at all? Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices now talk to us and take spoken commands.(越来越多的人不读不写就能融入当今世界吗?科技使之成为可能。现在,我们的大多数设备都能与我们对话,并接受语音指令)”可知,本段主要介绍,由于智能科技设备的识别语音功能,没有读写识字能力的人也有可能融入社会生活。科技弥补了不识字这一缺陷。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster or audio book narrator speaks at around150to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can cruise through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they read as opposed to listen.(首先,大多数人读得比说得快。播客或有声书的解说员每分钟大约说150到160个单词,而阅读能力强的人每分钟可以读300到400个单词。这是原来的两倍!研究还发现,与听相比,人们在阅读时能记住更多信息,也更有兴趣)”可知,与听相比,在相等时间内,阅读能获取更多信息。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In her book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf writes that with the invention of reading, human beings ‘rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn expanded the ways we were able to think, which changed the intellectual evolution of our species.’(玛丽安·沃尔夫在她的书《普鲁斯特和乌贼:阅读大脑的故事和科学》中写道,随着阅读的发明,人类“重新安排了我们大脑的组织,这反过来扩展了我们能够思考的方式,从而改变了我们物种的智力进化)”可知,Maryanne Wolf认为阅读是和大脑组织有联系的,作者提到她的书也是要证明这一点。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Could a growing number of people participate in today’s world without reading or writing at all? Technology makes it possible.(越来越多的人不读不写就能融入当今世界吗?科技使之成为可能)”和最后一段末“Would we really choose to give up that progress?What do you think? Do you hope people keep on reading and writing, or will technology make literacy obsolete?(我们真的会选择放弃这种进步吗?你怎么看?你希望人们继续阅读和写作,还是希望科技使读写能力过时?)”可知,作者在和读者互动,期待答复与评论。由此推测,文章可能出自网络博客的帖子。故选B项。
D
Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.
Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.
But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard patterns into which they plug each day’s events. In other words, there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.
There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the “standard patterns” of the newsroom seem alien (陌生的) to many readers. In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle-size cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan (大都会的) area. Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions.
Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upper class neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks, and they’re less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in a community.
Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite (精英), so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite. The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers.
This is an explosive situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. Then it sponsors lots of conferences and a credibility project dedicated to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers. But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases (偏见) that so many former buyers are complaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.
12. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The objectives and findings of a journalism credibility project.
B. The staff structure of the declining newspaper industry.
C. The causes of the public disappointment in newspapers.
D. The indefinite needs of newspaper readers in America.
13. The results of the journalism credibility project turned out to be ________.
A. somewhat conflicting
B. quite skin-deep
C. rather trustworthy
D. very educational
14. According to the author, the fundamental problem of journalists lies in their ________.
A. conventional lifestyle in upper class communities
B. inflexible approach to handling news stories
C. contradictory ways of making sense of the world
D. shared values disconnected from general readers
15. Which one of the following statements is TRUE about the newspaper industry?
A. It fails to satisfy its readers due to annoying reporters.
B. It hasn’t realized the real problem despite its efforts.
C. It’s urgent that it focus on accurate and skillful reporting.
D. It should be aware of underlying biases in race and gender.
【答案】12 C 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了很多美国人不相信他们在报纸上读到的东西的原因。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.(为什么这么多美国人不相信他们在报纸上读到的东西?美国报纸编辑协会正试图回答这个令人痛苦的问题。该组织正在深入进行一项长期的自我分析,即新闻可信度项目。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要分析了为什么美国人不相信自己在报纸上读到的东西,也就是公众对报纸失望的原因。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.(遗憾是,这个项目的结果大多是关于事实错误、拼写和语法错误的低级发现,以及许多令人挠头的困惑,即读者到底想要什么。)”可知,新闻公信力项目的结果大多是关于事实错误、拼写和语法错误的低级发现,也就是非常肤浅的错误。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the “standard patterns” of the newsroom seem alien (陌生的) to many readers. (记者和读者之间存在着一种社会和文化上的脱节,这有助于解释为什么新闻编辑室的“标准模式”对许多读者来说似乎是陌生的。)”以及第六段“The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers.(对新闻媒体惊人的不信任并非源于不准确或糟糕的报道技巧,而是源于记者和读者之间世界观的日常冲突。)”可知,作者认为,记者身上存在的问题时记者和读者之间已经产生了脱节,甚至是价值观的冲突。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. Then it sponsors lots of conferences and a credibility project dedicated to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers. But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases (偏见) that so many former buyers are complaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.(这是一家陷入困境的企业,它一直在雇佣态度严重惹恼客户的员工。然后,它赞助了许多会议和一个可信度项目,致力于弄清楚为什么客户感到恼火并大量逃离。但它似乎从来没有注意到许多前买家抱怨的文化和阶级偏见。如果它这样做了,它就会开放其多元化项目,现在只关注种族和性别,并寻找在观点、价值观、教育和阶级方面存在广泛差异的记者。)”可知,报纸业也在努力寻求发展,但是根本就没有意识到陷入困境的原因到底是什么。故选B。
第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。请将答案写在答题卷上。
Learn How to Have a Learning Vacation
Going on a vacation to learn a skill you have long wanted to pick up sounds like a good getaway, but be cautious, said John Spence, the president of a travel company in Calif. “If you don’t pick the right skill for you, or go in with unrealistic expectations, your precious time off won’t be enjoyable,” he said.
Here, he shares his advice on planning a learning vacation that you won’t regret taking:
Follow your passion (热情). ____16____. They include cooking, photography, art history, farming or a sport such as diving or horseback riding. To get the most out of the trip, choose something you’re passionate about.
____17____? With whatever skill you intend to learn, figure out whether you want an immersion (沉浸) or only to occupy a part of your trip. It’s possible to learn cooking basics, for example, by taking a weeklong course at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland. Another option is to attend several half-day classes at the school and have more free time to explore the destination itself. “____18____, so make sure that it’s what you really want,” Mr. Spence said.
Consider your budget. No matter the skill, you can learn it by taking a vacation in a wide range of price ranges. ____19____. If you want to learn scuba diving (水肺式潜泳), for example, heading to the Maldives will cost several thousand dollars per person, while a scuba diving trip to the Florida Keys is a more wallet-friendly choice.
Don’t forget the children. ____20____, provided that they are fun. “Yes, you want your kids to learn, but you don’t want them to be bored by overloading them with too much information,” Mr. Spence said.
A. A little, or a lot
B. Don’t be influenced by others’ interests
C. What skill do you want to learn
D. Learning vacations can be great family trips, too
E. The options for what you can learn on your vacation are limitless
F. Having a clear idea of your budget will help you home in on the right trip
G. Spending your entire break devoted to learning something new can be stressful
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要就“学习如何度过一个学习假期”这一话题提出了几点建议:以自己的爱好为出发点,确定自己的需求是投入大部分时间还是一点点时间,考虑预算,还可以组织一次家庭学习假期。
【16题详解】
根据后文“They include cooking, photography, art history, farming or a sport such as diving or horseback riding.(它们包括烹饪、摄影、艺术史、农业或一项运动,如潜水或骑马。)”可知,后文用举例的方式讲到了学习的项目选择多样性,由此可推知,设空句作为前句,应是总述“假期学习项目很多”。选项E“The options for what you can learn on your vacation are limitless(在你的假期里,你可以学习的东西是无限的)”在句意上符合分析,句中“The options”与后文的“They”相呼应,前后衔接紧密。故选E项。
【17题详解】
设空句为该段主题句,概括后文内容。根据后文“With whatever skill you intend to learn, figure out whether you want an immersion or only to occupy a part of your trip.(无论你打算学习什么技能,弄清楚你是想沉浸在其中,还是只想占据你旅行的一部分。)”可知,该部分的主要内容是关于技能学习的时长的讨论,是将整个旅行时间大部分投入还是只是一小部分时间。选项A“A little, or a lot(一点点,或者很多)”符合该段主旨要义。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据后文“so make sure that it’s what you really want(所以要确定这是你真正想要的)”可知,这是结果句,强调要确定自己的需求,那么设空句应是原因句,解释原因。选项G“Spending your entire break devoted to learning something new can be stressful(把整个假期都花在学习新东西上可能会有压力)”解释了原因,即,整个假期都在学习会有压力,因此要慎重确定自己的需求。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据该部分主题“Consider your budget.(考虑你的预算。)”可知,该部分以“预算”为主题进行讲述,选项F“Having a clear idea of your budget will help you home in on the right trip(对你的预算有一个清晰的想法将帮助你踏上正确的旅程)”贴合主题,与前文“No matter the skill, you can learn it by taking a vacation in a wide range of price ranges.(不管你的技能是什么,你都可以通过各种价位的旅行来学习。)”在逻辑上衔接紧密。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据该部分主题“Don’t forget the children.(别忘了孩子们。)”可知,该部分强调这种旅行也适合孩子,即,可以是家庭旅行的一种选择。选项D“Learning vacations can be great family trips, too(学习假期也可以是很棒的家庭旅行)”在句意上承接了主题句,进行了进一步解释,与后文“provided that they are fun(前提是它们很有趣)”构成了条件结果关系。故选D项。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:南澳大利亚大学的航空专家花了几个月的时间研究蜻蜓的飞行,从数字图像中创建3D模型,建造了一架有翼无人机。此处作目的状语,应用动词不定式。故填to build。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:研究负责人Javaan Chahl认为,与之前的无人机相比,基于蜻蜓形状和运动的有翼无人机将更加灵活和节能。句中winged drones和base之间是被动关系,应用过去分词,作后置定语。故填based。
【38题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:研究负责人Javaan Chahl认为,与之前的无人机相比,基于蜻蜓形状和运动的有翼无人机将更加灵活和节能。Be动词后面用形容词作表语,且此处与之前相比较,应用形容词比较级。故填more flexible。

41题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:研究蜻蜓在飞行过程中保持稳定的方式,实际上揭示了它们用来摆脱棘手情况的技术。句子描述一个客观事实,应用一般现在时,且动名词作主语,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填reveals。
【42题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:这种特殊的技能甚至可以在蜻蜓无意识的情况下进行,这意味着它是一种被动的稳定机制,在概念上类似于飞机在关闭引擎的情况下安全航行。句子主语This special skill和perform之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,空前有情态动词,be动词使用原形。故填be performed。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:这种特殊的技能甚至可以在蜻蜓无意识的情况下进行,这意味着它是一种被动的稳定机制,在概念上类似于飞机在关闭引擎的情况下安全航行。固定短语be similar to“与……相似”,to是介词。故填to。

Managing Stress in High School
Recently a survey has been carried out about the major causes of stress among the students of our school.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Managing Stress in High School
Recently a survey has been revealed about the major causes of stress among the students of our school. As the chart shows, the percentage of the students, who consider academics their No.1 cause of stress, has doubled in the past five years, from 30% to 60%. In contrast, social stress and family issues are less worrying.
Several reasons may account for the change. First, more frequent exams and constant rankings put students under great pressure. Additionally, parents now have higher expectations and the students can get burned out to fulfil them.
Integrating some stress management techniques into students’ daily life may help ease the tension. For instance, they can stick to healthy eating and adequate sleep. Besides, channeling energy into sports or other pursuits also makes sense.
High school life isn’t easy. Adopt some strategies and things will get better.

第二节 读后续写(满分15分)
57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emily White was born seventeen years ago with many physical issues affecting her tiny body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. Though no one expected her to survive, she did make it. But she had a strange figure that everyone could recognize, even from a distance.
In Emily’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school hall at Christmas. It had been performed for so many years that it had become one of the most important events for many of the townsfolk. Each year, many people tried out for the show, but most were turned away. Only the best performers could take part.
Emily had a most beautiful singing voice. Last year, she asked Mrs. Owens, her music teacher, if she could join in the performance. Mrs. Owens took a look at her body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable too.”
Mrs. Owens sent Emily back through the door of the choral room (合唱室) without even hearing her sing a single note. Hurt and upset, Emily decided never to try out again. But things changed as the following school year, Mrs. Owens retired and a new music teacher arrived—Mr. Butler.
He had heard about Emily and suggested that she give it a try again and promised he would give her a fair chance. Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she was quite hesitant. But finally her love for singing and strong desire to join in the performance outweighed her hesitation. She tried out again and learnt the result would be posted the next day on the door of the choral room.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night as she was worried that she would be rejected again and would never fit in.
The next day, Emily glanced at the list of the result. To her great surprise, she was not rejected this time. Her name stood proudly at the TOP of the list. It was she, Emily White, who was chosen to be the lead singer! Emily couldn’t believe her eyes. There must have been some mistakes. But Mr. Butler said to her with determined eyes, “Emily, I chose you to lead because of your extraordinary voice. Just believe in yourself.” Greatly moved and encouraged, Emily practiced really hard for the upcoming performance.
注意:1. 续写词数应为75左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, the day of the performance came.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Finally, the day of the performance came. Standing in the front, Emily felt her throat tight and palms sweating. When the curtain rose, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon her. “Emily White!” Someone whispered. With Mr. Butler’s encouraging words in mind, she began to sing her heart out—her voice travelled in the hall like a nightingale’s singing. Everyone was shocked by her great talent and offered big rounds of applause. She was shining on stage—she knew now she was known to everyone not for her appearance, but for her voice as an angel’s.
