【答案】18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】Good morning, my dear students! Today, I’m going to talk about Boxing Day, which is the day after Christmas.
You may have thought it is called Boxing Day because it’s the day you throw away the boxes your Christmas presents have come in. As simple as this theory is, there is more to the day.
In many countries that Boxing Day is also a public holiday. This means it’s a non-working day in the whole of the country. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
There are many theories as to when Boxing Day started, bur here is one of the most popular. It’s believed that Romans used boxes to collect money for athletic games. So, when they ruled Britain they brought this practice with them and people started to use similar boxes to collect money for the poor at Christmas. Then they would go out on the day right after Christmas and give out the money from those boxes to the poor.

Are you interested in ancient Britain? Take a trip back in time and discover the Britain ancestors knew.
Avebury, Wiltshire
This village is the proud home of the largest stone circle in Europe. Built during the New Stone Age (around 3000 BC), archaeologists think it was used to comfort the powers of nature. The nearby Avebury Manor let people know how the village developed over the centuries. Unlike others, visitors are welcome to sit on the chairs, and lie on the beds.
Skara Brae, Orkney Islands
Older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza, Skara Brae is unusually well-kept. So much so that it’s been described as the most remarkable prehistoric monument in all of Europe. The Neolithic village— which was first occupied around 3180 BC—is made up of eight round houses, connected by a series of small passages. The village was home to farmers, hunters and fishermen and the network of homes includes a workshop and prison. Be sure to wrap up warm against the fierce Orkney winds.
Butser Ancient Farm, Hampshire
Experimental archaeologist Dr Peter J Reynolds founded Butser Ancient Farm in 1970 with a special vision: to create a working ancient farm where fellow archaeologists could explore their theories on how people lived and worked during the Iron Age. Near South Downs National Park, the farm builds ancient houses based on real archaeological sites from around the country.
Maiden Castle
Maiden Castle is one of the largest and most complex Iron Age hill forts (要塞) in Britain. It has an area of about 450,000 square meters, and the site was home to several hundred people in the Iron Age (800 BC—AD 43).
21. What may Avebury be built for?
A. Building home for most villagers. B. Becoming the largest stone circle.
C. Trying to comfort nature’s power. D. Showing the development of the village.
22. Which of the following should we choose if we want to see round buildings?
A. Avebury. B. Skara Brae.
C. Butser Ancient Farm. D. Maiden Castle.
23. What can we know about Maiden Castle?

If you walk into Larkin Street Laundry around closing time, you might get an extra-special greeting. Every night, an 8-year-old golden retriever (猎犬) named Cody helps Stephanie’s dad close up the laundromat (自助洗衣店). Cody takes his job very seriously; While Stephanie’s dad cleans and puts everything away, Cody takes a nap on top of the washing machines.
Luckily, Stephanie’s dad doesn’t mind that Cody isn’t the best worker. “My dad owns the laundromat and has always taken our dogs there with him when he closes up at the end of the day,” Stephanie told The Dodo. “Our old dog loved to sit in the chairs to watch customers and people pass by, but Cody is more flexible than him.” “After we tried to get him to just sit on the chairs, be figured out a way to climb from the chair to the smaller washers and then to the bigger ones,” she added. “He’s a little lazier than our old dog, so he’d rather lay down and wait for pets and treats.”
Cody has become the main attraction at the laundromat, providing the perfect distraction for customers waiting for their clothes to finish drying. This arrangement works out for the independent Cody, who loves attention but prefers people come to him. And from his high—up advantage point, Cody can keep watch on everything going on at the laundromat. “I think helikes how he can see everyone at eye level when he’s on top of the washers,” Stephanie said. “I have a theory he likes to feel like a king up there.”

Finnish researchers say they have produced coffee in a laboratory that smells and tastes very similar to the real thing.
The team reports that lab-grown coffee could be important as climate change continues to threaten traditional coffee farming. Scientists at Finland’s Research Centre created cell cultures from the leaves of coffee plants. The process involves floating the cell cultures in bioreactors (生物反应器) filled with nutrients (养分). The same method is used to make other kinds of animal— and plant-based products.
Heikki Aisala is a researcher who oversaw the process. Aisala said cups of the cellular coffee probably would not pass taste tests comparing it to traditional coffee. “It tastes like a combination of different types of coffees,”Aisala said. The researcher added that while the cellular coffee was not ready for the market just yet, “it certainly does resemble coffee at the moment.” Aisala added it was possible that the lab-grown version could one day develop into a multi-billion-dollar industry.
Research team leader Heiko Rischer said cell cultures offer a more sustainable way to make coffee. This is because coffee is in high demand. This has led to countries opening up more land to grow coffee beans, which causes increased deforestation. Rischer said the environmental benefits of lab-grown coffee include reduced use of pesticides(农药) and fertilizer and less need to ship coffee beans long distances to markets.
In Europe, lab-grown coffee would need to be approved before it could be marketed. But an important question remains: Will coffee lovers actually drink the lab—grown creation? Satu, a server in a Helsinki coffee shop said, “I think someday we’re going that way because of all the natural coffee sources disappearing. So, we have to move along and if it tastes good and the aroma (香味) is coffee-based, so why not? I think it’s possible.”
28. Why is the lab-grown coffee significant?
A. It slows down climate change. B. It ensures the production of coffee.
C. It improves traditional coffee farming. D. It shortens the time of planting coffee.
29. What can we know about the cellular coffee?
A. It looks like traditional coffee. B. It has passed taste tests successfully.
C. It tastes like many kinds of coffees. D. It contains many types of nutrients.
30. How does Heiko Rischer think of the lab-grown coffee?
A. It has been well received by people. B. It has been in the markets already.
C. It benefits the environment greatly. D. It is ready for mass production.
31. What’s the attitude of Satu to the lab-grown coffee?
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Positive.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种人造咖啡，虽然还在试验阶段，但是它有着巨大的潜力。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句的“The team reports that lab-grown coffee could be important as climate change continues to threaten traditional coffee farming.(该小组报告说，随着气候变化继续威胁传统的咖啡种植，实验室种植的咖啡可能很重要。)”可知, 实验室培育的咖啡意义重大，因为它保证了咖啡的生产。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三句的“It tastes like a combination of different types of coffees(它尝起来像是不同种类咖啡的混合)”可知，这种咖啡尝起来像是不同种类咖啡的组合。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段最后一句中的“the environmental benefits of lab-grown coffee include reduced use of pesticides and fertilizer and less need to ship coffee beans long distances to markets.(实验室种植的咖啡对环境的好处包括减少农药和化肥的使用，以及减少将咖啡豆长途运输到市场的需要。)”可知, Heiko Rischer认为实验室培育的咖啡对环境有很大的好处。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“I think someday we’re going that way because of all the natural coffee sources disappearing. So, we have to move along and if it tastes good and the aroma (香味) is coffee-based, sowhy not? I think it’s possible.(我想有一天我们会走那条路，因为所有的天然咖啡资源都消失了。所以，我们必须继续，如果它尝起来很好，而且有咖啡的香味。为什么不呢？我认为这是可能的。)”可知，Satu对人造咖啡的态度是积极的。故选D。

Two protection groups successfully removed the invading (入侵的) European rabbits from the Humboldt Penguin National Reserve (HPNR). These rabbits destroyed the habitats for the Humboldt penguins and Peruyian petrels (海燕) on the two islands of the HPNR, which are home to 80 percent of Humboldt penguins in the world and were once home to 100,000 pairs of Peruvian petrels. However, the protection groups couldn’t have completed the task without the help of a four-legged friend, Finn — a yellow dog trained to discover holes of the invading rabbits.
Due to their good sense of smell, dogs have become rising stars in searching for invasive animals, protecting wildlife and assisting scientists in their field work. Finn is an example of how dogs can make a big difference to environmental protection by speeding up searches or finding targets that humans can’t find. In this case, Finn played a key role in protecting the habitats of penguins and petrels. It used its good sense of smell to aid the field team in ensuring that the HPNR was entirely free of rabbits.
The rabbits ate certain plants which provided shade for baby penguins, and they also took over the holes that petrels use to nest. Thanks to the efforts of Finn and the people of the protection groups, the HPNR was free of the invading rabbits. Thus the penguins and petrels have their habitats back. Meanwhile, since completing the removal, plants there have grown better. Scientists have recorded 16 types of plants that have never been identified on the islands!
“No wonder Finn is called a ‘Wonder Dog’. It has a very good sense of smell,” states Karen, who worked alongside Finn. “It’s able to determine the position of a rabbit from long distances by sniffing (嗅,闻). Without it, we can only rely on our eyes to spot the invading rabbits hidden there.
32. What does the underlined part “the task” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Protecting the habitats from being destroyed.
B. Helping the rabbits hunt for more food.
C. Assisting scientists in doing biological research.
D. Building more nests for baby penguins.
33. In what way do rabbits cause harm to the HPNR?
A. Frightening some penguins. B. Producing much waste.
C. Killing penguins and petrels. D. Occupying nests.
34. How does Finn know the position of a rabbit from far away?
A. By looking. B. By listening.
C. By smelling. D. By hiding somewhere.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Smart Finn Is B. How HPNR Was Well Protected
C. How Rabbits Were Killed D. How Penguins Get Love from Finn
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了在经过特训的侦缉犬芬恩的帮助下，保护组织成功地将入侵的欧洲兔子从洪堡企鹅国家保护区(HPNR)赶走的故事。
【详解】1.词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Two protection groups successfully removed the invading European rabbits from the Humboldt Penguin National Reserve (HPNR).(两个保护组织成功地将入侵的欧洲兔子从洪堡企鹅国家保护区(HPNR)赶走)”和“However, the protection groups couldn’t have completed the task without the help of a four-legged friend (然而，如果没有一只四条腿的朋友的帮助，保护小组是无法完成the task)”可知划线词“the task”是指“successfully removed the invading European rabbits from the Humboldt Penguin National Reserve”，即“保护栖息地免受欧洲兔子的破坏”。故选A项。

2.细节理解题。根据第三段“The rabbits ate certain plants which provided shade for baby penguins, and they also took over the holes that petrels use to nest.(这些兔子吃某些植物，这些植物为小企鹅提供阴凉，它们还占据了海燕筑巢的洞穴)”可知，侵占海燕的巢是兔子对自然保护区造成破坏的方式之一。故选D项。
3.细节理解题 。根据文章最后一段第三句的“It’s able to determine the position of a rabbit from long distances by sniffing. (它能够通过嗅探远距离确定兔子的位置)”可知，Finn是通过嗅觉从很远的距离确定兔子的位置的。故选C项。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了在经过特训的侦缉犬芬恩的帮助下，保护组织成功地将入侵的欧洲兔子从洪堡企鹅国家保护区(HPNR)赶走的故事，因此“How HPNR Was Well Protected (HPNR是如何得到保护的)”是最佳标题。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The sound coming from Taronga Zoo Sydney in Australia may sound like the cries of a human baby. ____36____ It’s just a brown, long-tailed bird named Echo that has learned how to mimic (模仿) the cries of human babies.
The zoo said, “Our Eeho has the amazing ability to replicate (复制) a variety of calls— including a baby’s cry.” Echo is a superb lyrebird (琴鸟), an Australian bird named for the shape of its tail. ____37____. It’s a U-shaped stringed instrument that was popular in ancient Greece.
____38____ They can copy just about any sound in their immediate surroundings, including those from car engines, as well as animal sounds, such as dog barks and bird calls.
Seven-year-old Echo can mimic the sound of a fire alarm and the “leave immediately” announcement at the goo, Leanne Golebiowski, a bird expert at Taronga Zoo Sydney said. About a year ago, Echo started practising baby cries, she said. But it’s not clear how he perfected the calls, as the zoo is closed to visitors because of COVID-19 lockdowns in Sydney. Glebiowski said, “I can only guess that he picked it up from our guests. ____39____ But this concerns me, as I thought the zoo was a happy place for families to visit!”
Male lyrebirds use their mimicking talents mainly for mating. During their breeding season, male lyrebirds can be heard singing for up to 4 hours a day. Their songs consist of a lot of different bird calls that they have picked up from their surroundings. ____40____
A. However, don’t be alarmed.
B. The female should stay with him.
C. Lyrebirds are experts at mimicking.
D. Female lyrebirds also mimic sounds for other reasons.
E. The tail looks like an instrument known as a lyre.
F. Obviously he has been working on his craft during lockdown.
G. But sometimes their mating songs incorporate (包含) other nonbird sounds.
【答案】36. A 37. E 38. C 39. F 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。澳大利亚悉尼塔龙加动物园的一种名为Echo的棕色长尾鸟可以模仿许多外界的声音，例如人类婴儿的哭声等等。
【36题详解】
根据上文“The sound coming from Taronga Zoo Sydney in Australia may sound like the cries of a human baby. (来自澳大利亚悉尼塔朗加动物园的声音可能听起来像人类婴儿的哭声。)”和下文“It’s just a brown, long-tailed bird named Echo that has learned how to mimic (模仿) the cries of human babies.(这只是一只名叫Echo的棕色长尾鸟，它学会了如何模仿人类婴儿的哭声。)”可知，空处和下文形成转折关系，说明不要因为哭声感到惊慌。上一句的“the cries of a human baby”和A项的“don’t be alarmed”相对应。A项：However, don’t be alarmed.(然而，不要惊慌。)符合语境。故选A。
【37题详解】

(但尚不清楚他是如何完善这些呼叫的，因为由于悉尼的新冠疫情封锁，动物园对游客关闭。格莱博夫斯基说:“我只能猜测，他是从我们的客人那里得到的。)”可知，此处表示Echo在禁闭期间练习发音。F项中的“during lockdown ”和上文的“COVID-19 lockdowns ”对应。F项：Obviously he has been working on his craft during lockdown.(显然他在禁闭期间一直在练他的手艺。)符合语境。故选F。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Male lyrebirds use their mimicking talents mainly for mating.(雄性琴鸟的模仿能力主要用于交配。)”和“Their songs consist of a lot of different bird calls that they have picked up from their surroundings.(它们的歌声包含了很多不同的叫声，这些叫声是它们从周围环境中听到的。)”可知，此处表示求偶时会发出其他声音，G项中的“other nonbird sounds ”与上文“consist of a lot of different bird calls”对应。G项：But sometimes their mating songs incorporate other nonbird sounds.(但有时它们求偶时发出的声音会夹杂其他非鸟的声音。)符合语境。故选G。

67. 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。
Thick snowflakes swirled (旋转) around my car. Everything around me was white. The light was fading (变暗) as the sun set over the rocky peaks.
I was driving up a mountain pass on what was supposed to be a four-hour trip from Red River, New Mexico, to Durango, Colorado, I drove slowly along on a winding, unfamiliar road in a snowstorm. I was on my way to meet my friend Jane, who was in Durango. I was so excited about the weekend that I left without checking the weather.
Thirty minutes into my drive, the snow had started. Gentle snow at first. I thought about turning around. But it hardly looked threatening, so I continued. Now I regretted that decision. But it was too late. The road was too narrow and icy for me to turn around. The snow was bad, getting worse. The only way out was forward, higher and higher into the mountains. The last bit of sunlight disappeared, and I couldn’t see anything beyond the few feet lighted by my headlights.
My cell phone had lost service as soon as I’d entered the mountain. I couldn’t call for help. The clothes were in my luggage. Maybe I could find a place to pull over and wear more clothes until morning. Would that be enough to keep me warm all night? How long would it take for someone to find me? “Everything will be fine,” I whispered.
Then I noticed a pair of lights seemed to glow dimly (朦胧地) through the snowstorm. I opened my eyes wide hard and then looked ahead. There they were. Tail-lights! There was a car in front of me! At least someone was here with me. Focus on the lights, I told myself, not your fear. I followed my guide for at least another half hour as we continued to pass the mountain.
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。
Finally, I felt the road start to level down gradually.

At the base of the mountain, I spotted the tail-lights.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Finally, I felt the road start to level down gradually. I lost sight of the tail lights ahead of me. But the panic didn’t return. I could see the car’s tire tracks in my headlights. All I had to do was follow the tracks the rest of the way down the mountain. I drove slowly, keeping my wheels within the tracks every inch of the way. Soon I could see the lights of a town twinkling in the distance. The snow started to cover the tracks I was following. But both of us had made it.
At the base of the mountain, I spotted the tail-lights. As I got closer, I saw it was a SUV. I pulled up beside it and rolled down my window. The driver of the ear did the same. “Many thanks. I was really scared on my way. Fortunately, I followed you. It was your car’s light and tracks that gave me hope and encouragement,” The driver looked at me and smiled. “My pleasure. To tell you the truth I was also fearful at the heavy snow, but when I noticed there was a car behind me I felt much better. In fact we hadn’t been alone on that mountain road at night.”
