2．（10分）The UK Government has announced plans to build eight nuclear power reactors as part of its new energy strategy.
By 2030，the Government wants 95%of the UK's electricity to come from low﹣carbon energy sources.Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that is released from the burning of fossil fuels （coal，oil and gas）.It is a big cause of climate change﹣ long﹣term shifts in weather patterns，including rising temperatures.
The Government wants to increase renewable energy sources，such as wind turbines and solar panels.The Government hopes that by 2030，50 gigawatts（亿瓦特）of energy will come from offshore wind farms（ones that stand in the sea）.That's enough to power all the houses in the UK.There are also plans to build eight new nuclear reactors.Nuclear reactors generate（产生）energy through a process called nuclear fission（裂变），when heavy atoms are split into lighter ones.The Government wants to make the UK's energy cleaner and cheaper，and for the UK to produce its own energy rather than relying on other countries.Russia's invasion of Ukraine has affected the world's gas and oil supply，making power more expensive.
The UK Prime Minister，Boris Johnson，says the plans will lead to"clean and secure energy made in Britain.Some people have said that these plans don't go far enough and won't help people who are struggling with high energy bills at the moment.
Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has said that the Government should do more to insulate people's homes.Insulating homes is when material is put inside a house to stop heat from getting out.It means people would need to use less energy to heat their homes.
（1）What does the underlined"It"refer to in the second paragraph？
A.Carbon dioxide.
B.A fossil fuel.
C.A renewable energy source.
D.The low﹣carbon energy source.

3．（10分）I accidentally found a time capsule，in purple and green floss （丝线） in the midst of sorting out some old things last month.Faded and worn，it was a friendship bracelet （手链）﹣ an important part of my teenage summers.Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood，which my kids will never know firsthand.
My handiwork wasn't beautiful.But what I remember is the beauty of the offering：slipping something into a friend's hand and knowing it would always be with them.The experience was intoxicating﹣﹣like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings，it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond.Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each other，at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.
I sleep with my bracelets and showered with them.I wore them all summer long at camp.And I acquired new bracelets from friends there﹣﹣friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return，as we said our tearful end﹣of﹣summer goodbyes.I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends.But now I see that they were rally helping me to leave behind childhood.
My kids don't go to summer camp.They certainly don't exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends.They hang out on Discord （一种聊天工具） in chats that only pause but never end.Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets，and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces.There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find.They will have little to physically hold on to.
（1）Why does the author compare a bracelet to a time capsule？
A.It is faded and worn.

The Best Way to Enjoy a Book
I am no slow eater.I can't remember the number of times I was told as a child not to gobble my food.Nor have I been a slow reader.I went through books like combine harvesters through crops in the English village of my childhood.
Perhaps I will continue to gobble my food until my last meal on this planet.But books!They are an entirely different matter.Having been prevented from visiting bookstores and libraries during these days of isolation.I have decided to make changes.After all，didn't someone once say， "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good."
I imagine slow reading to be like slow cooking：a variety of ingredients mixed into something one can truly enjoy.Slow reading means enjoying each sentence，absorbing all of those paragraphs of description that had probably been sweated over by the author and，more often than not，skipped over by readers like me.
This isn't to say I pay only random attention to a book.Before deciding on one to buy or borrow，I always read the synopsis and the "About the Author" section.I would also read the dedication，the foreword and the author's acknowledgments.Only then do I move on to the book's opening sentence.This is essentially how I had selected the two books that I most recently finished.
In order to truly enjoy these two novels，I rationed my reading to two hours a day﹣no more and no less.A funny thing happens when you take two hours out of the day – every day – for something you really，really enjoy.I experienced a quiet sense of accomplishment that I had missed for years.
English writer Kate Atkinson's Transcription has been advertised as "a novel of rare depth from one of the best writers of our time." Award﹣winning Newfoundler Michael Crummey's The Innocents，meanwhile，is said to be "a richly imagined and fascinating story of hardship and survival." I am glad I didn't read Transcription at my usual pace.I suspect I would have missed much of the brilliance of the writing.Instead，I made myself completely involved in the life of 18﹣year﹣old Julie.I often paused at the end of a chapter to reread it for the joy of laughing aloud at the heroine' observations.
The Innocents is about the life of two orphans in an isolated bay in Newfoundland.It was hard not to run through this powerful narrative—but I resisted the temptation.My patience was rewarded with a deeper understanding of the character and rich description of northern Newfoundland— so real that I could almost feel the lichen （地衣） between my toes.
So here I am，two books finished that took me a month to read.I have been entertained，enriched and transported in time and place like I never have before.Having discovered the joys of taking my time over a book now，I doubt I will ever again announce proudly， "It only took me a day or a couple of hours to finish!"
（1）According to the article，the author used to .
A.read novels while gobbling her food.
B.spend no more than two hours reading every day.
C.consider it a waste of time to read fictional stories.
D.finish reading a book in a day or even a couple of hours.
（2）The underlined proverb "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good，" probably means
.
A.even the craziest ideas can become popular.
B.even the most popular ideas can go out of fashion.
C.even the most positive situations can harm someone.
D.even the most negative situations can benefit someone.
（3）The author compared reading to cooking in order to illustrate that .
A.it is fun to read book related to food.
B.it is rewarding to pick up various types of books.
C.it is worthwhile to appreciate the brilliance of every sentence.
D.It is important to read the synopsis before deciding on a book to read.
（4）While reading The Innocents，the author .
A.imagined herself to be an orphan.
B.ended up with a deep appreciation of the story.
C.read through the descriptive part of the book quickly.
D.thought about the relationship between hardship and survival.

5．（12.5分）We buy what we need and want.But at the same time，we also need to make sure that we are not short of cash while shopping and we are saving our money with every purchase we make.Below are some simple tips.
Make a shopping list.
When you list the items you want to shop for，you don't buy excessively or impulsively （过度或冲动地） while shopping. （1） This helps you to save money and move within a budget.
Compare prices.
（2） Instead，look and find the product in other stores to see which offers the cheapest price.You can check online sites too.

（3）
Watch out for sale offers.
Don't go for items on sale if they are not needed，even if they are being offered at a cheap price.Only buy what you need.
（4）

（5） However，with some effort and time，you will be able to build a bigger savings account and a healthier budget.
A.If you can make it，then don't buy.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了作者发现了一条手链，让她回想起童年和朋友们交换礼物，也感叹如今手机等电子设备的出现，孩子们沉浸于虚拟世界，聊天软件，而失去了这种交流的方式。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段中的Faded and worn，it was a friendship bracelet （手链）—an important part of my teenage summers.（这是一个友谊手链，褪色了，磨损了，这是我少年时代夏天的重要组成部分。）可知，这串手链与作者童年的夏天有着重要的联系，所以把手链与时间胶囊联系起来正是因为手链让作者想到了自己童年的夏天。故选C。
（2）词句猜测题。根据划线词前的My handiwork wasn't beautiful.But what I remember is the beauty of the offering：slipping something into a friend's hand and knowing it would always be with them.（我的手艺并不漂亮。但我记得的是送礼物的美妙之处：把某样东西塞到朋友手里，知道它将永远陪伴着他们。）和后半句like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings，it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond.（就像交换结婚戒指的严肃交易一样，它象征着牢不可破的纽带。）可知，作者的手工艺品并不是很美，但是当把它送给朋友时意义变得深刻。所以这样的体验是令人兴奋的。所以intoxicating意为"令人兴奋的"。结合选项A.Exciting令人兴奋的；B.Terrible可怕的；C.Professional职业的；D.Strange奇怪的，陌生的。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的They hang out on Discord （一种聊天工具） in chats that only pause but never end.Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.（他们在Discord上聊天，只会暂停，不会结束。我们的大儿子不停地在手机上发短信，他和朋友们互相制作会说话的表情包和TikTok视频。）可知，作者认为与以前不同的是现在的孩子们花太多的时间在手机上。故选A。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段中的There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find.They will have little to physically hold on to.（若干年后，不会再有一盒盒的信件需要整理，也不会有任何隐藏的手镯需要寻找。他们几乎没有什么可以依靠的东西。）可知，代表友谊的手链只有作者有，她的孩子没有。作者提到了手链让她想起了美妙的童年生活，而这种感受当今的孩子们是无法体会的，因为他们大多数沉浸在虚拟世界。这些手链以一种她的孩子们永远不会知道的方式赋予了作者童年的意义。故选B。

The Best Way to Enjoy a Book
I am no slow eater.I can't remember the number of times I was told as a child not to gobble my food.Nor have I been a slow reader.I went through books like combine harvesters through crops in the English village of my childhood.
Perhaps I will continue to gobble my food until my last meal on this planet.But books!They are an entirely different matter.Having been prevented from visiting bookstores and libraries during these days of isolation.I have decided to make changes.After all，didn't someone once say， "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good."
I imagine slow reading to be like slow cooking：a variety of ingredients mixed into something one can truly enjoy.Slow reading means enjoying each sentence，absorbing all of those paragraphs of description that had probably been sweated over by the author and，more often than not，skipped over by readers like me.
This isn't to say I pay only random attention to a book.Before deciding on one to buy or borrow，I always read the synopsis and the "About the Author" section.I would also read the dedication，the foreword and the author's acknowledgments.Only then do I move on to the book's opening sentence.This is essentially how I had selected the two books that I most recently finished.
In order to truly enjoy these two novels，I rationed my reading to two hours a day﹣no more and no less.A funny thing happens when you take two hours out of the day – every day – for something you really，really enjoy.I experienced a quiet sense of accomplishment that I had missed for years.
English writer Kate Atkinson's Transcription has been advertised as "a novel of rare depth from one of the best writers of our time." Award﹣winning Newfoundler Michael Crummey's The Innocents，meanwhile，is said to be "a richly imagined and fascinating story of hardship and survival." I am glad I didn't read Transcription at my usual pace.I suspect I would have missed much of the brilliance of the writing.Instead，I made myself completely involved in the life of 18﹣year﹣old Julie.I often paused at the end of a chapter to reread it for the joy of laughing aloud at the heroine' observations.
The Innocents is about the life of two orphans in an isolated bay in Newfoundland.It was hard not to run through this powerful narrative—but I resisted the temptation.My patience was rewarded with a deeper understanding of the character and rich description of northern Newfoundland— so real that I could almost feel the lichen （地衣） between my toes.
So here I am，two books finished that took me a month to read.I have been entertained，enriched and transported in time and place like I never have before.Having discovered the joys of taking my time over a book now，I doubt I will ever again announce proudly， "It only took me a day or a couple of hours to finish!"
（1）According to the article，the author used to D .
A.read novels while gobbling her food.
B.spend no more than two hours reading every day.
C.consider it a waste of time to read fictional stories.
D.finish reading a book in a day or even a couple of hours.
（2）The underlined proverb "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good，" probably means
D .
A.even the craziest ideas can become popular.
B.even the most popular ideas can go out of fashion.
C.even the most positive situations can harm someone.
D.even the most negative situations can benefit someone.
（3）The author compared reading to cooking in order to illustrate that C .
A.it is fun to read book related to food.
B.it is rewarding to pick up various types of books.
C.it is worthwhile to appreciate the brilliance of every sentence.
D.It is important to read the synopsis before deciding on a book to read.
（4）While reading The Innocents，the author B .
A.imagined herself to be an orphan.
B.ended up with a deep appreciation of the story.
C.read through the descriptive part of the book quickly.
D.thought about the relationship between hardship and survival.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了作者因隔离无法去图书馆和书店，所以借此改变自己阅读习惯，由泛读改为了精读，体会到以前从来没有过的阅读成就感。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Having discovered the joys of taking my time over a book now，I doubt I will ever again announce proudly， "It only took me a day or a couple of hours to finish!"（现在，我发现了花时间阅读一本书的乐趣，我怀疑自己再也不会骄傲地宣称："我只花了一天或几个小时就读完了! "）和倒数第二段中Rather than reading Transcription at my usual pace（我没有按照平时的速度阅读Transcription）可知作者以前快速读完一本书，只讲究速度，但是现在更愿意去享受花时间阅读一本书的乐趣了。故选D项。
（2）词义猜测题。根据第二段Having been prevented from visiting bookstores and libraries during these days of isolation.I have decided to make changes.After all，didn't someone once say， "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good."（但在这些被隔离的日子里，我被禁止访问书店和图书馆，我决定做出改变。毕竟，是不是曾经有人说过："It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good." ？）可知，因为隔离，作者无法去书店和图书馆，所以就没有办法看到新书，但是世上没有绝对的坏事，所以作者借此机会在阅读习惯上做出改变。由此推知，划线引言是想表达"祸兮福之所倚"这一观点，D项"Even the most negative situation can benefit someone. "（即使是最消极的情况也能使人受益。）符合题意。故选D项。
（3）细节理解题。根据第三段 I imagine slow reading to be like slow cooking：a variety of ingredients mixed into something one can truly enjoy.Slow reading means enjoying each sentence，absorbing all of those paragraphs of description that had probably been sweated over by the author and，more often than not，skipped over by readers like me.（我想象慢读就像慢煮：各种食材混合在一起，让人真正享受。慢读意味着享受每一个句子，吸收所有的描述段落，这些段落可能是作者呕心沥血写出来的，而像我这样的读者往往会跳过这些段落。）中可知，慢煮出的食物，让人可以细细品味其中的滋味，作者通过对慢读和慢煮的对比，想告诉我们慢读可以让读者欣赏到每句话的精美之处。故选C项。
（4）推理判断题。根据倒数第二段My patience was rewarded with a deeper understanding of the character and rich description of northern Newfoundland— so real that I could almost feel the lichen （地衣） between my toes.（我的耐心得到了回报，我对纽芬兰北部的性格和丰富的描述有了更深的理解﹣﹣﹣如此真实，我几乎可以感觉到地衣在我的脚趾之间。）可知，作者读完The Innocents之后，得到了从未有过的成就感。故选B项。

【考点】说明文；日常生活．版权所有
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了购物时如何省钱的建议。
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据小标题Make a shopping list.（列一张购物清单）和前句When you list the items you want to shop for，you don't buy excessively or impulsively （过度或冲动地） while shopping.（当你列出你想买的东西时，你不会在购物时过度或冲动地购买）可知，购物时只买购物清单的东西。所以E"The rule allows you to buy only what's on the list.（这条规定允许你只买清单上的东西）"符合上下文语境。故选E。
（2）推理判断题。根据小标题Compare prices. （比较价格）和后句Instead，look and find the product in other stores to see which offers the cheapest price. （相反，在其他商店寻找产品，看看哪个提供最便宜的价格）可知，购物时要比较价格，不要一看到产品就买。所以G"Don't just buy right away on seeing a product you find. （不要一看到产品就马上买）"符合上下文语境。故选G。
（3）标题归纳题。根据小标题Leave the store when in doubt. （如果有疑问就离开商店）和前文If you cannot decide whether to buy a product，do not make a purchase.Instead，leave the store.If you decide later that you want it，you can always visit the shop next time. （如果你不能决定是否购买一个产品，就不要购买。相反，离开商店。如果你后来决定你想要它，你可以随时下次去商店）可知，购物时要想清楚是否确实需要购买此产品。所以D"Think before buying：Am I going to need it？ （买之前想清楚：我需要它吗？）"符合上下文语境。故选D。
（4）标题归纳题。这里为本段小标题。根据下文Don't choose friends who are shopaholics （购物狂） themselves and love to see you spending because it makes them feel better about their purchases.Instead，go to malls with friends who do not pressure you to buy anything but give you an honest opinion and help you in making your purchase. （不要选择那些喜欢看你花钱的朋友，因为这会让他们对自己的购买感觉更好。相反，和朋友一起去购物中心，他们不会强迫你买东西，而是会给你一个诚实的意见，帮助你购物）可知，本段介绍要明智地选择一起购物的朋友。所以C"Pick your shopping friends wisely. （明智地挑选你的购物朋友）"符合上下文语境。故选C。
（5）推理判断题。根据后句However，with some effort and time，you will be able to build a bigger savings account and a healthier budget. （然而，通过一些努力和时间，你将能够建立一个更大的储蓄账户和一个更健康的预算）可知，虽然边购物边存钱并不容易，但通过以上一些简单的建议，就能够更健康地消费。所以B"Saving while shopping is not easy. （边购物边存钱并不容易）"符合上下文语境。故选B。
【点评】七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子。解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子。

The Government wants to increase renewable energy sources，such as wind turbines and solar panels.The Government hopes that by 2030，50 gigawatts（亿瓦特）of energy will come from offshore wind farms（ones that stand in the sea）.That's enough to power all the houses in the UK.There are also plans to build eight new nuclear reactors.Nuclear reactors generate（产生）energy through a process called nuclear fission（裂变），when heavy atoms are split into lighter ones.The Government wants to make the UK's energy cleaner and cheaper，and for the UK to produce its own energy rather than relying on other countries.Russia's invasion of Ukraine has affected the world's gas and oil supply，making power more expensive.
The UK Prime Minister，Boris Johnson，says the plans will lead to"clean and secure energy made in Britain.Some people have said that these plans don't go far enough and won't help people who are struggling with high energy bills at the moment.
Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has said that the Government should do more to insulate people's homes.Insulating homes is when material is put inside a house to stop heat from getting out.It means people would need to use less energy to heat their homes.
（1）What does the underlined"It"refer to in the second paragraph？
A.Carbon dioxide.
B.A fossil fuel.
C.A renewable energy source.
D.The low﹣carbon energy source.
（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 3？
A.The Government wants to be more independent on energy production.
B.Nuclear reactors produce energy through nuclear fission.
C.The UK is unwilling to produce its own energy.
D.In the process of nuclear fission，lighter atoms are split into heavy ones.
（3）What is some people's attitude towards the energy plan？
A.Supportive.
B.Unconcerned.
C.Unappreciative.
D.Satisfied.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A.Cheaper Energy in the UK

D.The UK Government Launches Energy Plan
3．（10分）I accidentally found a time capsule，in purple and green floss （丝线） in the midst of sorting out some old things last month.Faded and worn，it was a friendship bracelet （手链）﹣ an important part of my teenage summers.Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood，which my kids will never know firsthand.
My handiwork wasn't beautiful.But what I remember is the beauty of the offering：slipping something into a friend's hand and knowing it would always be with them.The experience was intoxicating﹣﹣like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings，it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond.Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each other，at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.
I sleep with my bracelets and showered with them.I wore them all summer long at camp.And I acquired new bracelets from friends there﹣﹣friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return，as we said our tearful end﹣of﹣summer goodbyes.I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends.But now I see that they were rally helping me to leave behind childhood.
My kids don't go to summer camp.They certainly don't exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends.They hang out on Discord （一种聊天工具） in chats that only pause but never end.Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets，and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces.There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find.They will have little to physically hold on to.
（1）Why does the author compare a bracelet to a time capsule？
A.It is faded and worn.
B.It is shaped like a capsule.

The Best Way to Enjoy a Book
I am no slow eater.I can't remember the number of times I was told as a child not to gobble my food.Nor have I been a slow reader.I went through books like combine harvesters through crops in the English village of my childhood.
Perhaps I will continue to gobble my food until my last meal on this planet.But books!They are an entirely different matter.Having been prevented from visiting bookstores and libraries during these days of isolation.I have decided to make changes.After all，didn't someone once say， "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good."
I imagine slow reading to be like slow cooking：a variety of ingredients mixed into something one can truly enjoy.Slow reading means enjoying each sentence，absorbing all of those paragraphs of description that had probably been sweated over by the author and，more often than not，skipped over by readers like me.
This isn't to say I pay only random attention to a book.Before deciding on one to buy or borrow，I always read the synopsis and the "About the Author" section.I would also read the dedication，the foreword and the author's acknowledgments.Only then do I move on to the book's opening sentence.This is essentially how I had selected the two books that I most recently finished.
In order to truly enjoy these two novels，I rationed my reading to two hours a day﹣no more and no less.A funny thing happens when you take two hours out of the day – every day – for something you really，really enjoy.I experienced a quiet sense of accomplishment that I had missed for years.
English writer Kate Atkinson's Transcription has been advertised as "a novel of rare depth from one of the best writers of our time." Award﹣winning Newfoundler Michael Crummey's The Innocents，meanwhile，is said to be "a richly imagined and fascinating story of hardship and survival." I am glad I didn't read Transcription at my usual pace.I suspect I would have missed much of the brilliance of the writing.Instead，I made myself completely involved in the life of 18﹣year﹣old Julie.I often paused at the end of a chapter to reread it for the joy of laughing aloud at the heroine' observations.
The Innocents is about the life of two orphans in an isolated bay in Newfoundland.It was hard not to run through this powerful narrative—but I resisted the temptation.My patience was rewarded with a deeper understanding of the character and rich description of northern Newfoundland— so real that I could almost feel the lichen （地衣） between my toes.
So here I am，two books finished that took me a month to read.I have been entertained，enriched and transported in time and place like I never have before.Having discovered the joys of taking my time over a book now，I doubt I will ever again announce proudly， "It only took me a day or a couple of hours to finish!"
（1）According to the article，the author used to .
A.read novels while gobbling her food.
B.spend no more than two hours reading every day.
C.consider it a waste of time to read fictional stories.
D.finish reading a book in a day or even a couple of hours.
（2）The underlined proverb "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good，" probably means
.
A.even the craziest ideas can become popular.
B.even the most popular ideas can go out of fashion.
C.even the most positive situations can harm someone.
D.even the most negative situations can benefit someone.
（3）The author compared reading to cooking in order to illustrate that .
A.it is fun to read book related to food.
B.it is rewarding to pick up various types of books.
C.it is worthwhile to appreciate the brilliance of every sentence.
D.It is important to read the synopsis before deciding on a book to read.
（4）While reading The Innocents，the author .
A.imagined herself to be an orphan.
B.ended up with a deep appreciation of the story.
C.read through the descriptive part of the book quickly.
D.thought about the relationship between hardship and survival.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了作者发现了一条手链，让她回想起童年和朋友们交换礼物，也感叹如今手机等电子设备的出现，孩子们沉浸于虚拟世界，聊天软件，而失去了这种交流的方式。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段中的Faded and worn，it was a friendship bracelet （手链）—an important part of my teenage summers.（这是一个友谊手链，褪色了，磨损了，这是我少年时代夏天的重要组成部分。）可知，这串手链与作者童年的夏天有着重要的联系，所以把手链与时间胶囊联系起来正是因为手链让作者想到了自己童年的夏天。故选C。
（2）词句猜测题。根据划线词前的My handiwork wasn't beautiful.But what I remember is the beauty of the offering：slipping something into a friend's hand and knowing it would always be with them.（我的手艺并不漂亮。但我记得的是送礼物的美妙之处：把某样东西塞到朋友手里，知道它将永远陪伴着他们。）和后半句like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings，it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond.（就像交换结婚戒指的严肃交易一样，它象征着牢不可破的纽带。）可知，作者的手工艺品并不是很美，但是当把它送给朋友时意义变得深刻。所以这样的体验是令人兴奋的。所以intoxicating意为"令人兴奋的"。结合选项A.Exciting令人兴奋的；B.Terrible可怕的；C.Professional职业的；D.Strange奇怪的，陌生的。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的They hang out on Discord （一种聊天工具） in chats that only pause but never end.Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.（他们在Discord上聊天，只会暂停，不会结束。我们的大儿子不停地在手机上发短信，他和朋友们互相制作会说话的表情包和TikTok视频。）可知，作者认为与以前不同的是现在的孩子们花太多的时间在手机上。故选A。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段中的There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find.They will have little to physically hold on to.（若干年后，不会再有一盒盒的信件需要整理，也不会有任何隐藏的手镯需要寻找。他们几乎没有什么可以依靠的东西。）可知，代表友谊的手链只有作者有，她的孩子没有。作者提到了手链让她想起了美妙的童年生活，而这种感受当今的孩子们是无法体会的，因为他们大多数沉浸在虚拟世界。这些手链以一种她的孩子们永远不会知道的方式赋予了作者童年的意义。故选B。
【点评】考查说明文。做题时要通读全文，把握大意，然后结合题干及选项做出正确的选择。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了作者因隔离无法去图书馆和书店，所以借此改变自己阅读习惯，由泛读改为了精读，体会到以前从来没有过的阅读成就感。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Having discovered the joys of taking my time over a book now，I doubt I will ever again announce proudly， "It only took me a day or a couple of hours to finish!"（现在，我发现了花时间阅读一本书的乐趣，我怀疑自己再也不会骄傲地宣称："我只花了一天或几个小时就读完了! "）和倒数第二段中Rather than reading Transcription at my usual pace（我没有按照平时的速度阅读Transcription）可知作者以前快速读完一本书，只讲究速度，但是现在更愿意去享受花时间阅读一本书的乐趣了。故选D项。
（2）词义猜测题。根据第二段Having been prevented from visiting bookstores and libraries during these days of isolation.I have decided to make changes.After all，didn't someone once say， "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good."（但在这些被隔离的日子里，我被禁止访问书店和图书馆，我决定做出改变。毕竟，是不是曾经有人说过："It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good." ？）可知，因为隔离，作者无法去书店和图书馆，所以就没有办法看到新书，但是世上没有绝对的坏事，所以作者借此机会在阅读习惯上做出改变。由此推知，划线引言是想表达"祸兮福之所倚"这一观点，D项"Even the most negative situation can benefit someone. "（即使是最消极的情况也能使人受益。）符合题意。故选D项。
（3）细节理解题。根据第三段 I imagine slow reading to be like slow cooking：a variety of ingredients mixed into something one can truly enjoy.Slow reading means enjoying each sentence，absorbing all of those paragraphs of description that had probably been sweated over by the author and，more often than not，skipped over by readers like me.（我想象慢读就像慢煮：各种食材混合在一起，让人真正享受。慢读意味着享受每一个句子，吸收所有的描述段落，这些段落可能是作者呕心沥血写出来的，而像我这样的读者往往会跳过这些段落。）中可知，慢煮出的食物，让人可以细细品味其中的滋味，作者通过对慢读和慢煮的对比，想告诉我们慢读可以让读者欣赏到每句话的精美之处。故选C项。
（4）推理判断题。根据倒数第二段My patience was rewarded with a deeper understanding of the character and rich description of northern Newfoundland— so real that I could almost feel the lichen （地衣） between my toes.（我的耐心得到了回报，我对纽芬兰北部的性格和丰富的描述有了更深的理解﹣﹣﹣如此真实，我几乎可以感觉到地衣在我的脚趾之间。）可知，作者读完The Innocents之后，得到了从未有过的成就感。故选B项。
第二节（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。

（4） C

【考点】说明文；日常生活．版权所有
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了购物时如何省钱的建议。
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据小标题Make a shopping list.（列一张购物清单）和前句When you list the items you want to shop for，you don't buy excessively or impulsively （过度或冲动地） while shopping.（当你列出你想买的东西时，你不会在购物时过度或冲动地购买）可知，购物时只买购物清单的东西。所以E"The rule allows you to buy only what's on the list.（这条规定允许你只买清单上的东西）"符合上下文语境。故选E。
（2）推理判断题。根据小标题Compare prices. （比较价格）和后句Instead，look and find the product in other stores to see which offers the cheapest price. （相反，在其他商店寻找产品，看看哪个提供最便宜的价格）可知，购物时要比较价格，不要一看到产品就买。所以G"Don't just buy right away on seeing a product you find. （不要一看到产品就马上买）"符合上下文语境。故选G。
（3）标题归纳题。根据小标题Leave the store when in doubt. （如果有疑问就离开商店）和前文If you cannot decide whether to buy a product，do not make a purchase.Instead，leave the store.If you decide later that you want it，you can always visit the shop next time. （如果你不能决定是否购买一个产品，就不要购买。相反，离开商店。如果你后来决定你想要它，你可以随时下次去商店）可知，购物时要想清楚是否确实需要购买此产品。所以D"Think before buying：Am I going to need it？ （买之前想清楚：我需要它吗？）"符合上下文语境。故选D。
（4）标题归纳题。这里为本段小标题。根据下文Don't choose friends who are shopaholics （购物狂） themselves and love to see you spending because it makes them feel better about their purchases.Instead，go to malls with friends who do not pressure you to buy anything but give you an honest opinion and help you in making your purchase. （不要选择那些喜欢看你花钱的朋友，因为这会让他们对自己的购买感觉更好。相反，和朋友一起去购物中心，他们不会强迫你买东西，而是会给你一个诚实的意见，帮助你购物）可知，本段介绍要明智地选择一起购物的朋友。所以C"Pick your shopping friends wisely. （明智地挑选你的购物朋友）"符合上下文语境。故选C。
（5）推理判断题。根据后句However，with some effort and time，you will be able to build a bigger savings account and a healthier budget. （然而，通过一些努力和时间，你将能够建立一个更大的储蓄账户和一个更健康的预算）可知，虽然边购物边存钱并不容易，但通过以上一些简单的建议，就能够更健康地消费。所以B"Saving while shopping is not easy. （边购物边存钱并不容易）"符合上下文语境。故选B。
【点评】七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子。解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子。
第三部分语言运用（共两节）
第一节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
