Imagine if we could turn items that would normally be thrown in the dustbin into warm, waterproof blankets—a young girl from Wales is doing just that!
Twelve-year-old Alyssa Faith has spent the past year collecting abandoned chip bags which she then transforms into foil (箔纸) warming blankets. She donates them, along with toiletries and other essentials, to organizations that support people who are unhoused throughout Wales and as far as Ukraine. So far, she’s turned over 10,000 chips bags into 200+ blankets!
Alyssa got the idea to make these innovative blankets from a Facebook story about Pen Huston of East Sussex, England. Pen started a Crisp Packet Project to make survival bags with foil blankets and gives them to those in need throughout the United Kingdom.
As a budding environmentalist, Alyssa thinks there’s an added bonus to using chip bags. “Crisp packets are really hard to recycle, so this is a new way to stop them going in the bin,” she said.
For each bag, she starts by opening the packet and washing it, which is her least favorite part, then she places four packets on a piece of parchment paper (羊皮纸) and irons them so they stick together. The last step is placing the packets between the clear plastic and ironing them to seal it all together. The result is a foil blanket similar to the ores used in emergencies. It takes Alyssa about an hour and a half to make each blanket, and her mom says the project keeps her out of trouble!
“She makes the blankets after school—it certainly keeps her away from her phone,” said Alyssa’s mom, Darlene Dean. “She’s passionate about the environment, and the homeless support organizations in North Wales have been very positive about the blankets.”
This young lady is really going places! We love that she’s channeling her skills towards helping others in such a huge, meaningful way. Keep up the great work, Alyssa!
4. What inspired Alyssa to make foil blankets?
A. Others’ similar behavior.
B. Her passion for recycling.
C. The sight of the poor homeless.
D. Her mother’s encouragement.
5. What is an extra advantage of the foil blankets?
A. It prevents cold.
B. It offers comfort.
C. It benefits the environment.
D. It provides recyclable items.
6. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 5?
A. The challenge of using chip bags.
B. The process of making foil blankets.
C. The efforts Alyssa and her mom made.
D. The materials used in making blankets.
7. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To introduce Crisp Packet Project.
B. To appeal for love and care.
C. To call on people to save energy.
D. To sing the praises of Alyssa’s kindness.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第三段内容“Alyssa got the idea to make these innovative blankets from a Facebook story about Pen Huston of East Sussex, England. Pen started a Crisp Packet Project to make survival bags with foil blankets and gives them to those in need throughout the United Kingdom.”（Alyssa从Facebook上关于英国东萨塞克斯郡Pen Huston的故事中得到了制作这些创新毛毯的想法。Pen启动了Crisp Packet Project，用箔纸毯制作救生袋，并将其送给英国各地需要帮助的人。）可知，Alyssa从Facebook上了解到Pen Huston用箔纸毯制作救生袋，这激发了她的灵感，她想到了制作箔纸毯的主意，由此可知，其他人类似的行为启发了Alyssa制作箔纸毯。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段内容“As a budding environmentalist, Alyssa thinks there’s an added bonus to using chip bags. “Crisp packets are really hard to recycle, so this is a new way to stop them going in the bin,” she said.”（作为一个初露头角的环保主义者，Alyssa认为使用薯片袋还有额外的好处。她说：“薯片包装袋真的很难回收，所以这是一种阻止它们进入垃圾箱的新方法。”）可知，Alyssa认为使用薯片袋还有额外的好处，那就是阻止难以回收的薯片包装袋进入垃圾箱，这对环境有益，由此可知，箔纸毯的额外优势是它有益于环境。故选C项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段关键句“For each bag, she starts by opening the packet and washing it, which is her least favorite part, then she places four packets on a piece of parchment paper (羊皮纸) and irons them so they stick together. The last step is placing the packets between the clear plastic and ironing them to seal it all together.”（对于每一个包装袋，她首先打开包装袋并清洗，这是她最不喜欢的部分，然后她将四个包装袋放在一张羊皮纸上，并熨平，使它们粘在一起。最后一步是将包装袋放在透明塑料之间，然后熨烫，将其密封在一起。）可知，本段内容主要讲述了制作箔纸毯的过程，首先打开包装袋并清洗，然后进行熨烫，最会进行密封，故选B项。

Book clubs are no longer limited to living rooms, and bookstores offer much more than just books with a new opening up for gatherings centered around reading.
When entering Hearthfire Books and Treats in Evergreen, shoppers are greeted by a bright green wall of frozen yogurt machines and a topping bar.
Owner Kappy Kling believes she has created more than just a store but a space for community. Kling sees many bookstores modifying their business models to attract new customers. “Bookstores over the years, with changes, have adapted by adding different things for engagement, especially smaller ones,” she said. “So for us, the frozen yogurt was a big one of those.”
Hearthfire attracts a big afterschool crowd from the local schools, and Kling enjoys providing a safe place for kids to hang out, have a snack and read.
Creating reading community is also a central focus at BookBar on Tennyson Street in Denver. Nearly nine years ago, Nicole Sullivan was wishing she could have a book club meeting anywhere besides someone’s living room, and from that thought, BookBar was born. The popular bookstore offers wine, coffee and small plates to enjoy while leading and browsing books. Beyond just book club meetings, Sullivan says the shop sees a lot of girls’ nights, professional meetings and remote work.
While he may not have changed his business model, Topp does devote much of his time to reading to his customers. Topp founded Read Me a Story, Ink after reading to children in public schools for nearly 30 years. His website features recordings of Topp reading stories aloud and over a thousand stories for others to read and children can make comments and exchange opinions. He also has a podcast (播客) available on major platforms that feature him reading stories fit for the classroom, bedtime and more.
8. What does the underlined word “one” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A. Thing. B. Customer. C. Change. D. Model.
9. What was Sullivan’s earlier dream?
A. Reading more books.
B. Opening a reading club.
C. Setting up a reading website.
D. Getting more collectable books.
10. What do the three bookstores have in common?
A. They begin to sell e-books.
B. They offer free coffee and tea.
C. They’re changing their business model.
D. They are trying to create reading community.
11. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. Traditional bookstores are still popular.
B. Many bookstores appear in the world.
C. Book clubs are appearing in a new form.
D. Bookstores focus on new ways to reach readers.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】

(店主Kappy Kling认为，她创造的不仅仅是一家商店，而是一个社区空间。Kling看到许多书店修改了他们的商业模式以吸引新顾客。她说：“多年来，书店随着变化而适应，增加了不同的东西，使之参与进来，尤其是较小的书店”。)”可知，此处描述书店增加了不同的东西来吸引顾客。由此可推知，one指代“那些新增的东西中的一个”。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Nearly nine years ago, Nicole Sullivan was wishing she could have a book club meeting anywhere besides someone’s living room, and from that thought, BookBar was born. (大约九年前，Nicole Sullivan希望她可以在别人的客厅之外的任何地方举行读书俱乐部会议，因此，BookBar诞生了。)”可知，Sullivan最初的梦想是成立一个读书俱乐部。故选B。

D
Antioxidants (抗氧化剂) are found naturally inn plants like blueberries, blackberries, and red cabbage. Scientists believe antioxidants may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. But tomatoes naturally only have a small amount of antioxidants in them.
British scientist Cathie Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of antioxidants by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.
A plant developed from specially created DNA is known as a GMO, or “genetically modified organism”. For hundreds of years, farmers have created new kinds of plants by mixing existing plants together using natural methods. GMO plants are different because the plants’ DNA has been changed by scientists. Scientists who do this usually think they’re improving the plants in some way.
After working on developing purple tomatoes for years, Dr. Martin’s experiment worked. Soon her plants were producing small purple tomatoes. Though the color is unusual, what’s really special about the tomatoes is that they have very high levels of antioxidants. Even better, the tomatoes remained fresh almost twice as long as normal tomatoes. Soon, Dr. Martin and other scientists created a company to promote the tomatoes.
The company tested its tomatoes on mice that were likely to get cancer. The mice who were fed the purple tomatoes lived about 30% longer than the mice who were fed normal tomatoes. Though that’s good news, experiments on mice don’t always predict what effects on humans will be like.
And GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t “natural”. There are still questions about the effects of GMO crops on the environment and other plants, but most scientists agree that food from GMO crops is safe to eat.
On September 7, the government approved a GMO plant designed to target human health. Dr. Martin and her company plan to introduce the tomatoes at farmers’ markets across the US in 2023. They also hope to sell the seeds to people who want to grow their own.
12. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To define a concept.
B. To bring in the topic of the text.
C. To add background information.
D. To introduce the benefits of antioxidants.
13. What makes purple tomatoes really special?
A. Their medical value. B. Their delicious flavor.
C. Their proper size. D. Their pleasant color.
14. Why are GMO foods refused by people?
A. They are expensive to buy.
B. They are intended for animals.
C. They are thought to be harmful.
D. Their appearance isn’t appealing.
15. What is the government’s attitude towards GMO crops?
A. Opposed. B. Unclear. C. Positive. D. Concemed.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第一段“Antioxidants (抗氧化剂) are found naturally inn plants like blueberries, blackberries, and red cabbage. Scientists believe antioxidants may help prevent heart disease and help fight against diseases like diabetes. (抗氧化剂天然存在于蓝莓，黑莓和红甘蓝等植物中。科学家认为，抗氧化剂可能有助于预防心脏病，并有助于对抗糖尿病等疾病。)”及第四段“Though the color is unusual, what’s really special about the tomatoes is that they have very high levels of antioxidants. (虽然颜色不寻常，但这种西红柿的真正特别之处在于它们含有非常高水平的抗氧化剂。)”可知，真正让紫色西红柿特别的是它极高的抗氧化剂的含量，这些抗氧化剂有很高的医疗价值。故推知真正让紫色西红柿特别的是其有很高的医疗价值。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“And GMO products weren’t popular with customers. Many people were scared by the idea that the foods weren’t “natural”.

My Favorite Money Saving Tips
One of the things that many folks want to do is better money habits. I’m pretty good about my saving, and fairly responsible in my spending. So as many of you all probably want to “save more money” or “spend less money”, I wanted to share my saving tips with you.
Manage your debt. ____16____ If you have credit card debt, pay this down before you start doing any other savings. If you have several cards with debt, try the laddering technique. Start by paying down your debt on the highest interest card you have. Once that balance is at zero, go to the next highest percent card and so on.
____17____ Life can throw at you unexpected expenses that can easily add up quickly. One of your main savings goals should be to build an emergency fund. You should have ready-to-go-in liquid cash, 6-9 months of living expenses for a rainy day. ____18____ But don’t invest the money. Make sure you can access this money in an absolute emergency.
Spend your cash. Seems crazy but it’s true! This is especially helpful to those who tend to be impulsive (冲动的) shoppers. Figure out your monthly budget, and divide it by 4. Add this amount to your wallet each week and only spend the cash. ____19____ Studies have shown that you are less likely to break large bills or to spend less cash when you have to physically pull the cash out.
Keep your extra cash in a high yield savings account. Though it’s rare to find a bank that provides a large interest rate on savings, right now you can get 0.5% and 0.1 to 0.25% on checking. ____20____
A. Get an emergency fund.
B. Avoid unnecessary expenses.
C. Don’t touch the credit cards.
D. You must make this a priority.
E. But remember to check it from time to time.
F. It’s a great way to add a little extra income to your money.
G. This amount should be kept in your high-yield savings account.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. G 19. C 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于如何养成良好理财习惯的几点建议，比如管理债务，准备应急基金以及花现金等。
【16题详解】
由前文“Manage your debt.(管理您的债务)”和后文“If you have credit card debt, pay this down before you start doing any other savings.(如果您有信用卡债务，请在开始进行任何其他储蓄之前先偿还)”可知，横线处的句子要引出下文，指出优先处理自己的信用卡债务。D选项“你必须优先考虑这一点”中的it指代上文内容，make this a priority对应后文的before you start doing any other savings，符合语境。故选D项。
【17题详解】
空处为本段主旨句。根据后文“Life can throw at you unexpected expenses that can easily add up quickly. One of your main savings goals should be to build an emergency fund.(生活可能会给你带来意想不到的开销，这些费用很容易迅速增加。您的主要储蓄目标之一应该是建立应急基金)”可知，本段建议准备好流动现金以备不时之需，A选项“获得应急基金”可以作为主旨句，emergency fund是关键词。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“You should have ready-to-go-in liquid cash, 6-9 months of living expenses for a rainy day.(你应该有现成的流动现金，6——9个月的生活费，以备不时之需)”和后文“But don’t invest the money. Make sure you can access this money in an absolute emergency.(但不要投资。确保您可以在绝对紧急情况下获得这笔钱)”可知，横线处的句子承上启下，并且和下文为转折关系，可推测横线处的句子告诫人们要把应急的钱存到银行，用的时候可以取出而不要用于投资，G选项“这笔钱应该存入你的高收益储蓄账户”符合语境，this amount指代上文 6-9 months of living expenses for a rainy day。故选G。
【19题详解】
由前文“Figure out your monthly budget, and divide it by 4. Add this amount to your wallet each week and only spend the cash.(计算出您的每月预算，然后将其除以 4。每周将此金额添加到您的钱包中，只花现金)”和后文“Studies have shown that you are less likely to break large bills or to spend less cash when you have to physically pull the cash out.(研究表明，当您必须亲自提取现金时，您不太可能打破大额账单或花费更少的现金)”可知，横线处的句子要承接上文只花现金，不用信用卡。C选项“不要碰信用卡”符合语境。故选C项。
【20题详解】
由前文“Though it’s rare to find a bank that provides a large interest rate on savings, right now you can get 0.5% and 0.1 to 0.25% on checking.(虽然很少能找到一家银行提供高额储蓄利率，但现在你可以在结账时得到0.5%和0.1%到0.25%的收益) ”可知，横线处的句子要承接上文让人们把钱存进银行，虽然利息不多，但是毕竟也是在增加收入，F选项“这是给你的钱增加一点额外收入的好方法”中的a great way对应前文提到的方式，符合语境。故选F项。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国大学预修课程(CAP)是由教育部、19所大学和大约30所高中发起的一个项目，使学生能够在高中学习一系列学科的大学课程，为高中生的大学生活做准备。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国高等教育预修课程是由教育部、19所大学和大约30所高中联合开展的一个项目，使学生能够在高中学习一系列学科的大学课程。分析句子结构可知，此处应该用非谓语动词作定语，project和动词launch之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语，修饰名词project。故填launched。
【37题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：完成课程和考试后，课程学分可以进入大学。分析句子结构可知，从句中缺少谓语，而从句主语the courses and exams与complete之间是被动关系，判断用被动语态；句子描述一般事实，所以用一般现在时态，主语为复数。故填are completed。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：在每学期开始时，学校会提供给学生可以选择的课程。分析句子结构可知，空处为句子的谓语动词。根据every semester可知，句子用一般现在时，主语school和动词present之间是主动关系，所以用第三人称单数形式。故填presents。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：在每学期开始时，学校会提供学生可以选择的课程。根据句子内容可知，学校会呈现一些学生可以从中挑选的课程。choose from是固定搭配，意为“从……中挑选”。故填from。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这门课程非常有益，因为它为每个人创造了参加各种活动的机会。系动词is后应该接形容词作表语。故填beneficial。
【41题详解】
考查可数名词单复数。句意：这门课程非常有益，因为它为每个人创造了参加各种活动的机会。形容词various意为“各种各样的”，后应该接名词复数形式。故填activities。
【42题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：在课程中，英语不仅是一门学科，也是他们观察世界和研究最新全球趋势的工具。not only... but(also)“不但……而且……”，为固定搭配。故填but。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：学生们将仔细研究人工智能及其未来发展，并用英语撰写论文，这对他们的英语学习很有好处。分析句子结构可知，此处引导非限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，指代前面的句子，所以用关系代词which。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：该校高二学生严慕伟选择了数学建模。此处是名词短语作同位语，表示泛指且senior的发音是以辅音音素开头。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“对我来说，涉及视频和实验的创新教学风格最为突出，”她说。根据本句的谓语是stood out可知，involve应该用非谓语作定语，styles和动词involve之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填involving。

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。
Forgiveness is the most important tool humans have been blessed with. Because, with it, we can let go of unnecessary burdens and truly own our lives. And by doing that, you maybe make a friend. That was a lesson an eleven-year-old boy taught me when I was in my eighth grade.
When I was in the fifth grade, there was a boy in my class named Kyle. He was big and strong. Maybe he was kind inside. Maybe he was just good at pretending in face of adults. I said so because I happened to see him helping an old man who was so grateful that he couldn’t stop saying thanks to him.
However, to the children of his age, he was the meanest person I had ever met. For the first couple days of school, Kyle and I sat across from each other. Once, he secretly reached his legs across the table and slammed (猛踩) his shoe clown on mine, causing a rapid rush of pain. I stared at him angrily, but he just made faces to me. I chose to ignore him. I didn’t want to get involved into trouble because I was anxious to leave to see my brother. He suffered from a strange disease. Despite the fact that he was slow and had special needs, I loved him and couldn’t stand others laughing at him.
Kyle’s bullying (欺凌) went on. Eventually, I told a teacher, and my seat was moved. But Kyle’s abuse didn’t stop. He continued to call me names, such as “stupid”. His words were quite embarrassing to an eleven-year-old girl. He as continued to physically hurt me. In “morning meeting” he once stepped on my foot so hard that I burst into tears. This continued for most of the school year.
Kyle also bullied my friend Megan. At one point she ran out of the classroom because he copied her nonstop. Both of us were absolutely painful. And despite meetings with teachers and guidance counselors, nothing changed. We had a large class of noisy boys, and the teacher had a hard time keeping order.
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。
The climax (高潮) of Kyle’s bad behavior occurred in mid-May.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
He apologized to me, promising he would never laugh at my brother.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The climax (高潮) of Kyle’s bad behavior occurred in mid-May. One day, Kyle cornered me into a wall and laughed at my brother, calling him a “stupid”. I couldn’t control myself any longer. With my teacher standing behind me, I told Kyle exactly how much he had hurt me—both physically and emotionally. I had tears streaming down my face and probably looked ridiculous, but I didn’t care. I had been waiting for the opportunity to tell Kyle how much I hated him for months. Seeing this, Kyle was shocked and his face turned red.
He apologized to me, promising he would never laugh at my brother. Later, Kyle kept his promise and never laughed at my brother. His teasing didn’t completely end but he changed a lot. Summer came and went, as did sixth grade, and seventh grade. When I was in eighth grade, I let go of the pain that Kyle brought to me. I felt no hate for him. My forgiveness made us become friends.
