For 18 years after her retirement, Deng Xiaolan volunteered to teach music in a rural village in Hebei province. Her inspirational teaching and the enthusiasm and talent of her pupils made the 44 children from Malan village and neighboring villages in Fuping county sing the Olympic anthem in Greek at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics on Feb 4.

Deng’s involvement with the rural children can be traced back to her parents. Her father Deng Tuo was the publisher of Jinchaji Daily, a newspaper which was based in Malan village in Fuping county, Hebei province, from 1939 to 1948. During the Japanese aggression, 19 Malan locals were killed for refusing to divulge information about the newspaper. Under the influence of her parents, who both had a passion for music, she learned the violin and singing when she was young. She joined the school band after entering Tsinghua University, and also taught her colleagues to play the violin after graduation.

In 2003, when Deng Xiaolan returned to the village to remember the persons who were killed by Japanese invaders, a group of local children also attended the ceremony. She wanted to sing a song together with the children in commemoration (纪念仪式), but none of the children knew the well-known songs she named.

“If the children couldn’t sing, then they wouldn’t know how to appreciate music. Life would be so pale if it doesn’t have music,” Deng said. “My parents lived and fought here when they were young, and they wanted the locals to live a happy life. So I thought if I had the chance, I must teach them to sing.”

Deng began to travel between Beijing and the village since 2004 to teach the children music. She collected instruments and also rebuilt the school houses by raising funds and using her own pension. As the children had no background in music, she had to teach them basic music theory.

Two years later, she established the Malan Band. Among more than 200 students taught by Deng, many left the mountainous village to receive university education, some of whom are studying art at university or have entered a career in art education.

4．What contributed to the 44 children sing at the opening ceremony?

A．They have a good command of Greek.

B．The Winter Olympics Committee chose them.

C．Deng’s inspirational deeds and talent of her pupils.

D．Deng Xiaolan taught them and helped them sign up.

5．What can we know about Deng’s life in paragraph 2?

A．She was a publisher of Jinchaji Daily.

B．She majored in music in Tsinghua University.

C．Her father was killed during Japanese aggression.

D．Her parents played an important role in her love of music.

6．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “divulge”?

A．make up B．give away C．take on D．put on

7．What kind of person do you think Deng is?

A．devoted and caring.

B．Competent and humorous.

C．Creative and helpful.

D．Enthusiastic and strict.

C

Our solar system might be crazier than we once thought. Scientists say that deep within Uranus (天王星) and Neptune (海王星) it rains diamonds.

On Earth, diamonds form under extreme heat and pressure. The inside of Uranus and Neptune also has high temperatures and pressures. What’s more, the blue planets are largely made up of icy water and gases such as methane (甲烷).

So scientists have long believed that deep inside the two planets, the heat and pressure the methane into hydrogen (氢) and carbon (碳) Then diamond rain would form, falling toward the center of the planets.

But no one could prove that this would really work-until now. In a study published recently in the journal Nature Astronomy, scientists say they were able to create this kind of “diamond rain” in a lab, reported The Guardian.

Scientists used high-powered lasers to create pairs of shockwaves through a kind of plastic. The plastic is made from hydrogen and carbon, much like methane. The shock waves created high pressure and heat, like that inside Uranus and Neptune.

“The experimental time is very short,” Dominik Kraus, lead author of the study, told The Guardian. “That we saw this very clear signature of diamonds was actually very, very surprising”.

The diamonds created in the lab were tiny, only a few nanometers (纳米) wide. Scientists believe that diamonds would be much larger within Neptune and Uranus. Then they might slowly sink toward the planets center because of gravity.

8．What factor is needed to form diamonds?

A．Extreme heat and pressure B．Hydrogen and carbon

C．Icy water and gases D．High-powered lasers

9．What does the underlined word mean in the last paragraph?

A．Unsuccessful B．Small

C．Real D．Natural

10．How did scientists prove the theory of forming diamond?

A．By giving examples B．By stating argument

C．By explaining statistical data D．By doing experiments

11．What can be referred from the text?

A．There are many high-powered lasers in Neptune and Uranus

B．Deep inside Neptune and Uranus could be full of diamonds

C．The shockwaves inside Neptune and Uranus crate high pressure and heat.

D．Scientists long believe that there are diamonds inside Neptune and Uranus

D

With no special equipment, no fences and no watering, two abandoned agricultural fields in the UK have been rewilded (重新野化), in large part due to the efforts of jays, which actually “engineered” these new woodlands. Researchers now hope that rewilding projects can take a more natural and hands-off approach and that jays can shed some of their bad reputations.

The two fields, which researchers have called the New Wilderness and the Old Wilderness, had been abandoned in 1996 and 1961 respectively. The former was a bare field, while the latter was grassland—both lay next to ancient woodlands. Researchers had suspected that the fields would gradually return to wilderness, but it was impressive to see just how quickly this happened, and how much of it was owed to birds.

Using aerial data, the researchers monitored the two sites. After just 24 years, the New Wilderness had grown into a young, healthy wood with 132 live trees per hectare, over half of which (57%) were oaks. Meanwhile, the Old Wilderness resembled a mature woodland after 39 years, with 390 trees per hectare.

“This native woodland restoration was approaching the structure (but not the species composition) of long-established woodlands within six decades,” the researchers explained in the study.

Part of this reforestation was done by the wind, and researchers suspect that previous ground disturbance may have aided the woodland establishment—which is good news, as it would suggest that agricultural areas may be reforested faster than anticipated. However, animals—Eurasian jays, thrushes, wood mice, and squirrels—also played an important role in helping the forests take shape. This handful of species provided much of the natural regeneration needed for the forest to develop. Jays, in particular, seem to have done a lot of heavy lifting.

12．What does the underlined word “shed” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Be opposed to.

B．Be ashamed of.

C．Get used to.

D．Get rid of.

13．Which aspect of the changes in the two fields impressed the researchers?

A．The scale of the woodlands.

B．The diversity of the fields.

C．The rate of the changes.

D．The frequency of the wilderness.

14．What does the author want to tell us by providing some data in Paragragh 3?

A．The woodland restoration was approaching the structure of long-established ones.

B．Much of the wilderness of the fields was owed to birds.

C．Previous ground disturbance aided the woodland establishment.

D．How quickly the fields returned to wilderness over time.

15．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The essential role of humans in the reforestation.

B．The factors that contribute to the reforestation.

C．The importance of woodland establishment.

D．The threats faced by a handful of wild animals.

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 knew this dreaded day would come sooner or later. It came too fast and there I was, in the waiting room of the dental clinic, miserable with butterflies in my stomach.

My parents told me to sit up, stop wringing(拧) my hands, and take deep breaths to keep calm. It worked. I was calm for maybe two seconds when I heard my name being called. I pretended to be deaf but my mother touched me to get up. I forced myself to step forward and immediately stumbled (绊) over a toy and the boy who was playing with it. My clumsiness got me the attention of everyone in the room. Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes was too much and I hurried to the consultation room as fast as I could, leaving the boy crying for his broken toy.

I had refused my parents’ offer to accompany me. I meant to show them that I was brave enough to face the treatment on my own. I regretted it right now. Thankfully, I forgot my anxiety as I looked around the dentist’s room. Tools of different sizes were arranged neatly in a plate on the tiny table which was connected to a chair with buttons and a light hanging right over it. I avoided looking at my dentist in the eye as I took my seat on the chair shakily.

I tried to calm myself down, imaging how brave I would be. After a while, I was taken by great surprise when all of a sudden the chair moved and I was lying down facing the bright yellow light. When I caught sight of the dental drill on the plate, panic related to a bad childhood experience involving the drill kicked into me.

注意：1.续写的词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I cried out and almost jumped out of the seat.

46．One possible version:

An on-site craft competition

An on-site craft competition was held in our school library last Saturday, which was aimed at developing students’ innovative spirit and labor skills.

The participants selected from all the classes were required to create a craft in the given time. After an hour, a variety of awesome works were presented, including vivid wooden carvings and lifelike clay animals. Finally, the completed works were judged, ten of which received awards.

The competition was a great success. Not only did it provide the students with a platform to demonstrate their talents, but also it stimulated their interest in exploring their creativity.

47．I cried out and almost jumped out of the seat. Watching my frightened look, the dentist asked me what was the matter in a soothing voice behind her mask. I felt embarrassed and ashamed for my rude behavior and explained the bad experience in the past to the dentist. After hearing my story, the dentist smiled and encouraged me to forget the past and face the challenge bravely. I felt eased with the dentist’s comfort and care. Everything was going smoothly and I was grateful to the dentist.

My parents were waiting at the door anxiously when I ran out excitedly. I knew they would find it hard to believe what just happened. I was about to describe the process of treatment when I saw the boy whose toy I just broke. I went up to the boy and his parents and apologized for my misbehavior. All the people sang high praise for my honesty. After that, I followed my parents to the exit to tell them the most proud experience I ever had.
