11. ________ the PX project will be called off depends, for it still needs more research and discussion.
A. That B. Whether C. Where D. What
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意：句义：PX工程是否会取消还要看情况而定，因为它还需要更多的研究和讨论。前面的主语从句“the PX project will be called off”是一个被动语态的形式，句子结构是很完整的。不能使用what，因为what在句中要充当句子成分的。where的语义不配。That，无词义，与上下文的意思不配。whether“是否”符合题意，故B项正确。

四、阅读理解
A
When it comes to the UK, London likes to steal all the attention. Yes, yes, I know: it's a great city with lots of culture and sights to see. However, I think we all need a break sometimes from the chaos of the city. Specifically, a trip to one of the UK's national parks. A total of 15 areas in the UK are protected by the government. This allows everyone access to unblemished （洁净的）moors （旷野）, mountains, rivers and a home where wildlife can flourish.
In total, the national parks cover over 23,000 square kilometres, so where do you begin?
Dartmoor
A paradise for a picnic, Dartmoor in the south of England offers miles and miles of beautiful but lonely moorland. Climb over natural rock formations such as Haytor or hike for hours into the sunset with only wild ponies （矮种马）for company. Be mindful - they might look sweet, but those wanting to pet them may lose a finger .
Snowdonia
If you're after a challenge, head over to Snowdonia and climb the highest mountain in Wales. At 1,085 metres high, the views from Snowdon are spectacular. It will take you 5-6 hours to climb up and back down again. If a little mountain climbing isn't your scene, the mountain railway will have you there and back in half the lime.
Castles
In addition to Snowdon, Wales has over 10() castles spread throughout its three national parks. Some are broken mins, blending with the nature around them, while others have been restored to their original glory. Climb the towers of Caernarfon Castle and explore the exhibitions to learn about medieval life, or visit the ghostly ruins of Ragland Castle just south of the Brecon Beacons.

【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When it comes to the UK, London likes to steal all the attention. Yes, yes, I know: it's a great city with lots of culture and sights to see. However, I think we all need a break sometimes from the chaos of the city. Specifically, a trip to one of the UK's national parks. A total of 15 areas in the UK are protected by the government. This allows everyone access to unblemished （洁净的）moors （旷野）， mountains, rivers and a home where wildlife can flourish.”（说到英国，伦敦喜欢吸引所有人的注意力。是的，是的，我知道:这是一个伟大的城市，有很多文化和景点可看。然而，我认为我们有时都需要从城市的混乱中放松一下。具体来说，就是去英国的一个国家公园。英国共有15个区域受到政府的保护。这让每个人都可以进入到完美无瑕的荒野、山脉、河流和野生动物茂盛生长的家园。）以及下文对每个公园的介绍可知，本文的目的是为了推荐一些英国的国家公园。故选C项。

I fell in love with the Little Free Library concept years ago on vacation. The concept of free literature-sharing boxes posted in neighborhoods and public spaces hooked me. For a booklover, this represented bliss（快乐）. At home, my bedside table sprouts（长出）books and from the floor rises a mountainous to-be-read pile. My husband wasn’t the least bit surprised when I suggested starting our own Little Free Library- As a writer and introvert（内向的人）, I welcomed the idea of saying hello to other booklovers on occasion.
The following winter, my husband built a copy of our Irish garden shed（棚屋）with a framed glass door on the front and, in the spring, mounted（安装）it on a post in front of our house. We filled the shelves with books, and since then, visitors have refilled them with literary fiction, romances, mysteries, science fiction, cowboy westerns, young-adult fiction, poetry, how-to’s, self-help and a range of other nonfiction.
For a time after COVID-19 first struck, public libraries shut down, and Amazon prioritized the delivery of essential and high-demand items. Books were less easily attained. Traffic to our library increased. I posted reminders about handwashing, and still, readers kept coming.
We wondered if we should close the Little Free Library and revisited（再次讨论）our original motivations for hosting it: to facilitate the exchange of books, to create a sense of community. Reading provides the necessary relief to the emotional crush（压力）of life. With this in mind, we added a written reminder on staying safe in the library.
Through my teens, reading transported me to other places and eras. Books taught me about life and how people overcame adversity（逆境）. I no longer felt alone in the things I struggled against.
Aside from the entertainment books offer, studies show that reading exposes us to other cultures and perspectives. Literature sheds light on the justice to be found in social inclusion and community cohesion（凝聚）. Self-esteem and understanding grow in equal measure as we come to understand ourselves and our place in the world.
During this pandemic, the Little Free Library has reinforced the importance of literature and reading to our emotional and mental health. It’s become an alternate means of creating a community of people with mutual regard for humanity and the written word. We are together even when apart.
40. What attracted the author to host the Little Free Library?
A. The emotional crush of life.
B. The free literature-sharing concept.
C. The sense of self-esteem and social justice.
D. The importance of exchanging books with each other.
41. What is the husband’s attitude toward building the Little Free Library?
A. Objective. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
42. What happened to the author’s Little Free Library during the pandemic?
A. It was not allowed to be used.
B. The number of books dropped sharply.
C. It was getting more popular than before.
D. Readers questioned the motivations for hosting it
43. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?
A. How reading shaped the author’s growth.
B. How we facilitated the exchange of books.
C. How the Little Free Library further developed.
D. How literature played a role in community building.
44. What is the benefit of the Little Free Library during the pandemic?
A. It has offered solutions to the pandemic.
B. It has relieved the pressure of public libraries.
C. It has exposed readers to foreign perspectives.
D. It has helped create a united and cohesive community.

British programmer Joshua Browder is helping people save much money on legal fees with his latest project- the world’s first robot lawyer. The 19-year-old first started the project last summer as a free website to help people appeal unfair parking tickets. He came up with the idea after getting a series of tickets himself for unimportant reasons. Having wasted several hours on writing appeals to these tickets, he realized that many people have no time or legal know ledge or even the energy to appeal. So he decided to create an automatic appeal generator, which he named DoNotPay.
DoNotPay was a huge success, and the tech genius has now gone a step further with the website, converting(转变)it into a robot lawyer equipped to help with various legal issues. “The robot can currently handle parking ticket appeals and delayed flights/trains. It can also answer some general legal questions like ‘I can’t afford my ticket. What do I do?’” said Browder.
To use the service, users need to go to the website donotpay co. uk and sign up for free. Once signed in, the robot will ask the user a series of questions about their situation. When it has collected enough information, and if the person has legal grounds(依据)for an appeal, the robot will then generate a letter for the person to use.
Browder said he received good advice from his professors at Stanford University, where he is currently a freshman. “Initially, I thought the best way to go about it was to create lots of individual rules for it to follow,” he explained. “However, I quickly failed with this approach because there are thousands of ways to say the same thing and it would be impossible to catch every one. The breakthrough came when I learned how to create a way for the robot to learn and compare phrases itself, so that it doesn’t matter how the user phrases his or her requests.”
So he programmed the robot to use test comparison that includes keywords, word order and pronouns. And the more people use the robot. the better the algorithm(演算法)gets. But there are situations where the robot can’t help. “If the robot can’t answer, it provides helpful message offering the user some sample phrases or the choice of contacting me directly.” Browder said, “On the backend, whenever the robot can’t answer, I get notified and I work as quickly as possible to add functionality for any future requests of a similar nature.”
“I think it does a reasonable job of replacing parking lawyers,” Browder told Tech Insider. “I know there are thousands of programmers with more experience than me working on similar issues. If it is one day possible for any citizen to get the same standard of legal representation as a billionaire, how can that not be a good thing?”
45. What made Joshua Browder decide to develop the robot lawyer?
A. His interest in law and robot.
B. Being often fined for serious reasons.
C. A waste of much money in appealing.
D. Realizing people’s need to write appeals.
46. According to the text, at present the robot lawyer can ______.
A. teach the users to write a letter of appeal
B. create a computer program to serve its users
C. recommend some useful legal websites to users
D. deal with some common legal issues
47. To use the robot lawyer’s service, a user should first ______.
A. register online B. pay a small amount of money
C. answer the robot’s questions D. provide legal grounds for his appeal
48. What did Browder’s professors advise him to do about his robot?
A. Create enough individual rules for it to follow.
B. Teach it to communicate with its users.
C. Enabled it to learn and compare phrases on its own.
D. Store enough legal knowledge in it.
49. The underlined word “notified” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “______”.
A. warned B. informed C. convinced D. blamed
50. What is Browder’s attitude to the world’s first robot lawyer?
A. Unclear. B. Cautious. C. Proud. D. Negative.
【答案】45. D 46. D 47. A 48. C 49. B 50. C
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Having wasted several hours on writing appeals to these tickets, he realized that many people have no time or legal know ledge or even the energy to appeal. So he decided to create an automatic appeal generator, which he named DoNotPay. ( 在花了几个小时写罚单上诉书后，他意识到很多人没有时间、法律知识，甚至没有精力上诉。所以他决定创建一个自动上诉器，他将其命名为“DoNotPay”。)”可知，Joshua Browder意识到人们需要写诉状，于是决定开发机器人律师，故选D。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““The robot can currently handle parking ticket appeals and delayed flights/trains. It can also answer some general legal questions like ‘I can’t afford my ticket. What do I do?’” said Browder.( “该机器人目前可以处理停车罚单上诉和航班/火车延误。它还可以回答一些一般的法律问题，比如我付不起罚单。我该怎么办?”Browder说。)”可推知，目前机器人律师可以处理一些常见的法律问题，故选D。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To use the service, users need to go to the website donotpay co. uk and sign up for free.( 要使用这项服务，用户需要到网站donotpay co. uk免费注册。)”可知，要使用机器人律师服务，用户必须先在网上注册，故选A。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Browder said he received good advice from his professors at Stanford University…. “Initially, I thought the best way to go about it was to create lots of individual rules for it to follow,” he explained. “However, …(Browder说，他从斯坦福大学的教授那里得到了很好的建议…他解释说，“一开始，我认为最好的办法就是制定很多规则让它遵守，然而，……”)”和“The breakthrough came when I learned how to create a way for the robot to learn and compare phrases itself, so that it doesn’t matter how the user phrases his or her requests. (“当我学会如何让机器人自己学习和比较短语时，这才有了突破，这样用户的请求如何表达就无关紧要了。”)”可推知，Browder的教授建议他让他的机器人自己学习和比较短语，故选C。

If I could give today’s young people three wishes, they would be: More hugs. More time outside in nature. More belief in their own power to change the world. While most people understand the importance of the first two wishes, the third one leaves some folks wondering why young people’s belief in their own power is so essential.
Let’s start with the idea that all of us--especially young people--need heroes. We need them to be our guides on the difficult trail(足迹)we call life and to show us just how far we can go. And we need heroes today more than ever. Our modern society is terribly confused about the difference between a celebrity and a hero. And the difference: is vital. A celebrity is all about fame(名望)--temporary, superficial fame, usually for qualities that are easy to see: a pretty face, a great dance move. A hero, by contrast, is about character--qualities under the surface that aren’t visible until they take action.
Heroes are all around us. They truly hold our world together, through their unselfish devotion to helping others, teaching children, and protecting the environment. They don’t want fame, or glory; they just want to help. In so many ways, these unsung heroes pilot the boat in which all of us sail.
Yet, young people hear a lot more about celebrities than about heroes in the media. The hidden message they get from all this is that their self-worth comes from what they buy--which shoes, which cell phone--not who they are down inside. What gets lost in this? Young people’s sense of their own potential for heroic qualities--their own power to make a positive difference in the world. Truth is, there is a potential hero, a future difference maker, in every young person. Each of them, from whatever background, is a positive force who can do something. All it takes for that to be true is belief.
How do we help young people believe in their own power? The best way is simply to share examples, of other young people who have made a difference.
Ryan, age 11, has worked tirelessly to raise money to provide clean drinking water to African villages. When he first heard about the plight(困苦)of African children who died from impure water, Ryan was only six years old. In the next five years, he raised over $500,000--enough to build over 70 water wells.
Barbara, age 17, grew up on a farm in Texas. When she realized that local farmers were pouring their used motor oil into rivers, causing pollution, she organized the creation of a recycling center for crude(未加提炼的)oil. Her project has grown to include18 recycling centers in Texas.
The list could continue. These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great.
51. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 2?
A. To give examples of celebrities and heroes around us.
B. To discuss the differences between celebrities and heroes.
C. To provide definitions of the words “celebrity” and “hero”.
D. To explain the details about being celebrities and heroes.
52. What could be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Heroes make the world go round.
B. Heroes must believe in themselves.
C. Heroes focus on social welfare programs.
D. Heroes promote cooperation between people.
53. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Heroes and celebrities are both valued today.
B. Society doesn’t support the development of heroes.
C. The media turn ordinary celebrities into real heroes.
D. Young people don’t have the belief in their own strength.
54. How does the author advance his view that young people have the potential to be a hero?
A. By defining the qualities that make a young person a hero.
B. By contrasting the achievements made by different young people.
C. By giving examples of young people who show the qualities of a hero.
D. By providing examples of qualities that have made young people famous.
55. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. More heroes are needed in the world.
B. Celebrities are reported too much in the media.
C. Adults should become role models for young people.
D. Young people should believe in their ability to make a difference.
【答案】51. B 52. A 53. D 54. C 55. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章通过一些事例表明了年轻人相信自己改变世界的力量是多么的重要。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第四句“Our modern society is terribly confused about the difference between a celebrity and a hero. (我们现代社会对名人和英雄之间的区别非常困惑)”，可知，作者说出我们对“名人和英雄的区别”很困惑，所以接下来讲到了“A celebrity is all about fame(名望)--temporary, superficial fame, usually for qualities that are easy to see: a pretty face, a great dance move. A hero, by contrast, is about character--qualities under the surface that aren’t visible until they take action. (名人的全部是名望——暂时的、表面上的名声，通常是为了容易看到的品质：漂亮的脸庞，一个伟大的舞蹈动作。相比之下，英雄是关于品格的——表面下的品质，这种品质在他们采取行动之前是看不见的)”，这是对这种区别的阐述，所以整段文章其实就在讨论名人和英雄之间的区别。故选B项。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“They truly hold our world together, through their unselfish devotion to helping others, teaching children, and protecting the environment. They don’t want fame, or glory; they just want to help. In so many ways, these unsung heroes pilot the boat in which all of us sail. (英雄让我们的世界团结在一起，他们无私的奉献，帮助别人，教育孩子，保护环境。他们不要名誉，或者荣耀。他们只是想帮忙。在很多方面，这些无名英雄引领着我们所有人航行)”可知，英雄在这个世界上发挥着积极着作用，推动着世界积极的转动。故选A项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中句子“What gets lost in this? Young people’s sense of their own potential for heroic qualities--their own power to make a positive difference in the world. (在这里面迷失了什么? 年轻人对自己的英雄潜质的认识——他们自己对世界产生积极影响的能力)”可知，年轻人在自我能力上产生了迷失，他们对自己改变世界的力量没有信心。故选D项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段中句子“How do we help young people believe in their own power? The best way is simply to share examples, of other young people who have made a difference. (我们如何帮助年轻人相信自己的力量？最好的方法就是分享其他年轻人做出有影响事情的例子)”可知，作者想用分享年轻人用自己的力量做出有影响的事的例子，来论证自己的观点。接下来两段分别列举Ryan和Barbara两位年轻人的事例，来说明年轻人具有成为英雄的潜力。再根据最后一段“The list could continue. These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great. (这样的例子还有很多。这些只是一些年轻人的例子，他们发现自己可以依靠自己的力量做一些伟大的事情。)”可知，作者就是用举例的方式来进一步阐述自己观点。故选C项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句“While most people understand the importance of the first two wishes, the third one leaves some folks wondering why young people’s belief in their own power is so essential. (虽然大多数人都明白前两个愿望的重要性，但第三个愿望却让一些人疑惑，为什么年轻人对自己力量的信念如此重要) ”和最后一段最后一句“These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great. (这些只是年轻人的几个例子，他们已经发现他们可以依靠自己的力量去做一些伟大的事情) ”可知，作者开头以 “相信自己的力量”点题，结合第4题分析，段中例举了几个通过自己的力量做出改变的例子，结尾又以“自己的力量”与首段呼应，可知，整篇文章讲的是年轻人应该相信自己有能力做出有影响力有意义的事。故选D项。

27-year-old Lesley Kehoe and 29-year-old Gordon Bond had grown their daily travel from their home in County Kildare to their jobs in Dublin. They both loved their work, but they wanted a change and a break from their routine. Then one day they heard about Peig Sayers’ Cottage on Great Blasket Island and a decision was made immediately.
Great Blasket Island, off the beautiful coast of County Kerry, was abandoned back in 1954 after a decline in population, along with concerns about the difficulty of reaching the island in the event of an emergency. The island, which remains largely unoccupied now, does not have electricity or hot running water.
In April, Kehoe and Gordon packed their bags to head for Great Blasket Island. On the island, the couple worked to run Peig Sayers’ Cottage, a guest accommodation named after the famous Irish novelist who used to live and work there. Besides, they had to maintain the heritage(文化遗产) of Peig Sayers’ Cottage.
Kehoe discussed the change of lifestyle she’s had on the island, “There’s a wind turbine(发电机) to generate electricity. It wouldn’ t be powerful enough to run a vacuum cleaner or anything, but it can charge my phone.” This didn’t hamper them from enjoying life there. Disconnecting from the rush of everyday life and getting off the grid (电网) made them feel relaxed. They enjoyed cooking on gas cookers and lighting candles for light. Kehoe even steeled herself and got used to taking cold showers. Kehoe often shared pictures and videos that showed a way of life that may seem foreign and idyllic(悠闲的) when compared to the modern “rat race”.
The couple’s time on the island will terminate in October and Kehoe said they would be “heart-broken”to leave. She said, “I don’t think either of us is ready to leave the island; but we will have to go back to our old life. However, with this break I’ m sure we can work better after we return to our work.”
56. How did the couple react when hearing about Peig Sayers’Cottage?(no more than 10 words)
57. What did the couple mainly do on Great Blasket Island?(no more than 10 words)
58. What did the couple think of their electricity-free life?(no more than 5 words)
59. How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 5?(no more than 3 words)
60. What do you learn from the couple’s story?(no more than 20 words)
【答案】56 They immediately decided to go there.
57. They ran Peig Sayers’ Cottage and maintained its heritage.
58. It was relaxing and enjoyable.
59. End\ finish\ be over
60. Sometimes people may get tired of the fast-paced city life and a break from it can make them feel refreshed.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。一对夫妇想要在日常规律的生活中做出一些改变，于是来到一座岛上管理佩格·塞耶斯小屋。在这里，要依靠风力发电，但是只能够给手机充电。他们靠天然气做饭，用蜡烛照明，习惯了冷水洗澡。他们很享受这样悠闲的生活。现在，他们马上就要离开这座岛了，但是他们很不舍得。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Then one day they heard about Peig Sayers’ Cottage on Great Blasket Island and a decision was made immediately. (后来有一天，他们听说在大布拉斯基特岛上的佩格·塞耶斯小屋，于是立即做出了决定)”以及第三段中“In April, Kehoe and Gordon packed their bags to head for Great Blasket Island.(四月，Kehoe and Gordon收拾行囊前往大布拉斯特岛)”可知，这对夫妻听说了佩格·塞耶斯小屋后，立即做了去那里的决定。故答案为：They immediately decided to go there.。
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“On the island, the couple worked to run Peig Sayers’ Cottage, a guest accommodation named after the famous Irish novelist who used to live and work there. Besides, they had to maintain the heritage(文化遗产) of Peig Sayers’ Cottage. (在岛上，这对夫妇经营着佩格·塞耶斯小屋，这是一个以曾经在那里生活和工作的著名爱尔兰小说家的名字命名的宾馆。此外，他们还必须保护佩格·塞耶斯小屋的遗产)”可知，这对夫妻要经营佩格·塞耶斯小屋，并保护其文化遗产，故答案为：They ran Peig Sayers’ Cottage and maintained its heritage.。
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中“This didn’t hamper them from enjoying life there. Disconnecting from the rush of everyday life and getting off the grid (电网) made them feel relaxed.(这并没有妨碍他们享受那里的生活。从日常生活的匆忙中解脱出来，脱离电网，让他们感到轻松) ”可知，这对夫妻认为这种没有电的日子是很享受的，并且让他们感到放松，故答案为：It was relaxing and enjoyable.。
【59题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中“The couple’s time on the island will terminate in October and Kehoe said they would be “heart-broken”to leave. (这对夫妇在岛上的时间将于10月terminate，Kehoe说，他们将“心碎”离开) ”可知，他们要离开这个岛，所以他们在岛上的时间要结束了，terminate的意思就是“结束；停止”的意思，故答案为：End/finish/be over。
【60题详解】
这是开放性试题。根据第一段中“They both loved their work, but they wanted a change and a break from their routine. (他们都热爱自己的工作，但他们想从日常生活中得到改变和休息)”以及第四段中“This didn’t hamper them from enjoying life there. Disconnecting from the rush of everyday life and getting off the grid (电网) made them feel relaxed.(这并没有妨碍他们享受那里的生活。从日常生活的匆忙中解脱出来，脱离电网，让他们感到轻松) ”可知，人们可能会厌倦日复一日的快节奏的生活，从中摆脱休息一下，可以让人放松，精神焕发。故答案为：Sometimes people may get tired of the fast-paced city life and a break from it can make them feel refreshed.。

The river of history keeps flowing, leaving the giants shining like diamonds. Among all the famous figures in Chinese history, the one that attracts me most is Su Shi.
Su Shi, also known as Su Dongpo, is a writer, poet, and politician in Song Dynasty. Born to a family with an extreme talent in literature, he wrote thousands of delicate poems, and even started a new genre. However, his political career wasn’t smooth, and kept wandering farther and farther in his later part of life. Nonetheless, whatever hardship he was faced with, he managed to overcome it, leaving us with the legendary pieces.
In my childhood, he showed me the beauty of poems, and enhanced my interest in literature. But as time goes, I start to realize that his influence on me is beyond literature. In the face of frustrations, he never compromised. Instead, he always kept his cool and optimistic attitude. I shall never lower my head, and will shout in the rain, just like him.

6. Bing Dwen Dwen, has a massive fan base, and people are going crazy for products the smiling panda.
A. featuring B. featured C. to feature D. feature

A. That B. Whether C. Where D. What
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意：句义：PX工程是否会取消还要看情况而定，因为它还需要更多的研究和讨论。前面的主语从句“the PX project will be called off”是一个被动语态的形式，句子结构是很完整的。不能使用what，因为what在句中要充当句子成分的。where的语义不配。That，无词义，与上下文的意思不配。whether“是否”符合题意，故B项正确。

A
When it comes to the UK, London likes to steal all the attention. Yes, yes, I know: it's a great city with lots of culture and sights to see. However, I think we all need a break sometimes from the chaos of the city. Specifically, a trip to one of the UK's national parks. A total of 15 areas in the UK are protected by the government. This allows everyone access to unblemished （洁净的）moors （旷野）, mountains, rivers and a home where wildlife can flourish.
In total, the national parks cover over 23,000 square kilometres, so where do you begin?
Dartmoor
A paradise for a picnic, Dartmoor in the south of England offers miles and miles of beautiful but lonely moorland. Climb over natural rock formations such as Haytor or hike for hours into the sunset with only wild ponies （矮种马）for company. Be mindful - they might look sweet, but those wanting to pet them may lose a finger .
Snowdonia
If you're after a challenge, head over to Snowdonia and climb the highest mountain in Wales. At 1,085 metres high, the views from Snowdon are spectacular. It will take you 5-6 hours to climb up and back down again. If a little mountain climbing isn't your scene, the mountain railway will have you there and back in half the lime.
Castles
In addition to Snowdon, Wales has over 10() castles spread throughout its three national parks. Some are broken mins, blending with the nature around them, while others have been restored to their original glory. Climb the towers of Caernarfon Castle and explore the exhibitions to learn about medieval life, or visit the ghostly ruins of Ragland Castle just south of the Brecon Beacons.
Ullswater
For those who feel more at home on the water, the Lake District has over 15 stunning (极美的) lakes. Ullswater is particularly beautiful and the perfect place for scenic boat trips, sailing or canoeing with friends. Swimming is also popular if you are able to brave the cold. Surrounding the lake are charming villages and countryside which can be explored by foot or on horseback.
the White Cliffs of Dover
In the South Downs you'll find one of Britain's most striking views: the White Cliffs of Dover. This is the first view of England you'11 see if arriving by ferry, as long as it's not foggy, of course. Stretching for miles between the blue sea and even bluer sides, the pure white cliffs feature in many wartime songs and films. Not convinced? Fear not, London is just over an hour away by train.
36. What is the writer's main purpose in writing the text?
A. To explore the UK's distinctive culture.
B. To inform readers of the attractions in London.
C. To recommend some of the UK's national parks.
D. To explain why national parks are popular in the UK

I fell in love with the Little Free Library concept years ago on vacation. The concept of free literature-sharing boxes posted in neighborhoods and public spaces hooked me. For a booklover, this represented bliss（快乐）. At home, my bedside table sprouts（长出）books and from the floor rises a mountainous to-be-read pile. My husband wasn’t the least bit surprised when I suggested starting our own Little Free Library- As a writer and introvert（内向的人）, I welcomed the idea of saying hello to other booklovers on occasion.
The following winter, my husband built a copy of our Irish garden shed（棚屋）with a framed glass door on the front and, in the spring, mounted（安装）it on a post in front of our house. We filled the shelves with books, and since then, visitors have refilled them with literary fiction, romances, mysteries, science fiction, cowboy westerns, young-adult fiction, poetry, how-to’s, self-help and a range of other nonfiction.
For a time after COVID-19 first struck, public libraries shut down, and Amazon prioritized the delivery of essential and high-demand items. Books were less easily attained. Traffic to our library increased. I posted reminders about handwashing, and still, readers kept coming.
We wondered if we should close the Little Free Library and revisited（再次讨论）our original motivations for hosting it: to facilitate the exchange of books, to create a sense of community. Reading provides the necessary relief to the emotional crush（压力）of life. With this in mind, we added a written reminder on staying safe in the library.
Through my teens, reading transported me to other places and eras. Books taught me about life and how people overcame adversity（逆境）. I no longer felt alone in the things I struggled against.
Aside from the entertainment books offer, studies show that reading exposes us to other cultures and perspectives. Literature sheds light on the justice to be found in social inclusion and community cohesion（凝聚）. Self-esteem and understanding grow in equal measure as we come to understand ourselves and our place in the world.
During this pandemic, the Little Free Library has reinforced the importance of literature and reading to our emotional and mental health. It’s become an alternate means of creating a community of people with mutual regard for humanity and the written word. We are together even when apart.
40. What attracted the author to host the Little Free Library?
A. The emotional crush of life.
B. The free literature-sharing concept.
C. The sense of self-esteem and social justice.
D. The importance of exchanging books with each other.
41. What is the husband’s attitude toward building the Little Free Library?
A. Objective. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
42. What happened to the author’s Little Free Library during the pandemic?
A. It was not allowed to be used.
B. The number of books dropped sharply.
C. It was getting more popular than before.
D. Readers questioned the motivations for hosting it
43. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?
A. How reading shaped the author’s growth.
B. How we facilitated the exchange of books.
C. How the Little Free Library further developed.
D. How literature played a role in community building.
44. What is the benefit of the Little Free Library during the pandemic?
A. It has offered solutions to the pandemic.
B. It has relieved the pressure of public libraries.
C. It has exposed readers to foreign perspectives.
D. It has helped create a united and cohesive community.

British programmer Joshua Browder is helping people save much money on legal fees with his latest project- the world’s first robot lawyer. The 19-year-old first started the project last summer as a free website to help people appeal unfair parking tickets. He came up with the idea after getting a series of tickets himself for unimportant reasons. Having wasted several hours on writing appeals to these tickets, he realized that many people have no time or legal know ledge or even the energy to appeal. So he decided to create an automatic appeal generator, which he named DoNotPay.
DoNotPay was a huge success, and the tech genius has now gone a step further with the website, converting(转变)it into a robot lawyer equipped to help with various legal issues. “The robot can currently handle parking ticket appeals and delayed flights/trains. It can also answer some general legal questions like ‘I can’t afford my ticket. What do I do?’” said Browder.
To use the service, users need to go to the website donotpay co. uk and sign up for free. Once signed in, the robot will ask the user a series of questions about their situation. When it has collected enough information, and if the person has legal grounds(依据)for an appeal, the robot will then generate a letter for the person to use.
Browder said he received good advice from his professors at Stanford University, where he is currently a freshman. “Initially, I thought the best way to go about it was to create lots of individual rules for it to follow,” he explained. “However, I quickly failed with this approach because there are thousands of ways to say the same thing and it would be impossible to catch every one. The breakthrough came when I learned how to create a way for the robot to learn and compare phrases itself, so that it doesn’t matter how the user phrases his or her requests.”
So he programmed the robot to use test comparison that includes keywords, word order and pronouns. And the more people use the robot. the better the algorithm(演算法)gets. But there are situations where the robot can’t help. “If the robot can’t answer, it provides helpful message offering the user some sample phrases or the choice of contacting me directly.” Browder said, “On the backend, whenever the robot can’t answer, I get notified and I work as quickly as possible to add functionality for any future requests of a similar nature.”
“I think it does a reasonable job of replacing parking lawyers,” Browder told Tech Insider. “I know there are thousands of programmers with more experience than me working on similar issues. If it is one day possible for any citizen to get the same standard of legal representation as a billionaire, how can that not be a good thing?”
45. What made Joshua Browder decide to develop the robot lawyer?
A. His interest in law and robot.
B. Being often fined for serious reasons.
C. A waste of much money in appealing.
D. Realizing people’s need to write appeals.
46. According to the text, at present the robot lawyer can ______.
A. teach the users to write a letter of appeal
B. create a computer program to serve its users
C. recommend some useful legal websites to users
D. deal with some common legal issues
47. To use the robot lawyer’s service, a user should first ______.
A. register online B. pay a small amount of money
C. answer the robot’s questions D. provide legal grounds for his appeal
48. What did Browder’s professors advise him to do about his robot?
A. Create enough individual rules for it to follow.
B. Teach it to communicate with its users.
C. Enabled it to learn and compare phrases on its own.
D. Store enough legal knowledge in it.
49. The underlined word “notified” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “______”.
A. warned B. informed C. convinced D. blamed
50. What is Browder’s attitude to the world’s first robot lawyer?
A. Unclear. B. Cautious. C. Proud. D. Negative.
【答案】45. D 46. D 47. A 48. C 49. B 50. C
【解析】

If I could give today’s young people three wishes, they would be: More hugs. More time outside in nature. More belief in their own power to change the world. While most people understand the importance of the first two wishes, the third one leaves some folks wondering why young people’s belief in their own power is so essential.
Let’s start with the idea that all of us--especially young people--need heroes. We need them to be our guides on the difficult trail(足迹)we call life and to show us just how far we can go. And we need heroes today more than ever. Our modern society is terribly confused about the difference between a celebrity and a hero. And the difference: is vital. A celebrity is all about fame(名望)--temporary, superficial fame, usually for qualities that are easy to see: a pretty face, a great dance move. A hero, by contrast, is about character--qualities under the surface that aren’t visible until they take action.
Heroes are all around us. They truly hold our world together, through their unselfish devotion to helping others, teaching children, and protecting the environment. They don’t want fame, or glory; they just want to help. In so many ways, these unsung heroes pilot the boat in which all of us sail.
Yet, young people hear a lot more about celebrities than about heroes in the media. The hidden message they get from all this is that their self-worth comes from what they buy--which shoes, which cell phone--not who they are down inside. What gets lost in this? Young people’s sense of their own potential for heroic qualities--their own power to make a positive difference in the world. Truth is, there is a potential hero, a future difference maker, in every young person. Each of them, from whatever background, is a positive force who can do something. All it takes for that to be true is belief.
How do we help young people believe in their own power? The best way is simply to share examples, of other young people who have made a difference.
Ryan, age 11, has worked tirelessly to raise money to provide clean drinking water to African villages. When he first heard about the plight(困苦)of African children who died from impure water, Ryan was only six years old. In the next five years, he raised over $500,000--enough to build over 70 water wells.
Barbara, age 17, grew up on a farm in Texas. When she realized that local farmers were pouring their used motor oil into rivers, causing pollution, she organized the creation of a recycling center for crude(未加提炼的)oil. Her project has grown to include18 recycling centers in Texas.
The list could continue. These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great.
51. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 2?
A. To give examples of celebrities and heroes around us.
B. To discuss the differences between celebrities and heroes.
C. To provide definitions of the words “celebrity” and “hero”.
D. To explain the details about being celebrities and heroes.
52. What could be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Heroes make the world go round.
B. Heroes must believe in themselves.
C. Heroes focus on social welfare programs.
D. Heroes promote cooperation between people.
53. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Heroes and celebrities are both valued today.
B. Society doesn’t support the development of heroes.
C. The media turn ordinary celebrities into real heroes.
D. Young people don’t have the belief in their own strength.
54. How does the author advance his view that young people have the potential to be a hero?
A. By defining the qualities that make a young person a hero.
B. By contrasting the achievements made by different young people.
C. By giving examples of young people who show the qualities of a hero.
D. By providing examples of qualities that have made young people famous.
55. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. More heroes are needed in the world.
B. Celebrities are reported too much in the media.
C. Adults should become role models for young people.
D. Young people should believe in their ability to make a difference.
【答案】51. B 52. A 53. D 54. C 55. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章通过一些事例表明了年轻人相信自己改变世界的力量是多么的重要。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第四句“Our modern society is terribly confused about the difference between a celebrity and a hero. (我们现代社会对名人和英雄之间的区别非常困惑)”，可知，作者说出我们对“名人和英雄的区别”很困惑，所以接下来讲到了“A celebrity is all about fame(名望)--temporary, superficial fame, usually for qualities that are easy to see: a pretty face, a great dance move. A hero, by contrast, is about character--qualities under the surface that aren’t visible until they take action. (名人的全部是名望——暂时的、表面上的名声，通常是为了容易看到的品质：漂亮的脸庞，一个伟大的舞蹈动作。相比之下，英雄是关于品格的——表面下的品质，这种品质在他们采取行动之前是看不见的)”，这是对这种区别的阐述，所以整段文章其实就在讨论名人和英雄之间的区别。故选B项。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“They truly hold our world together, through their unselfish devotion to helping others, teaching children, and protecting the environment. They don’t want fame, or glory; they just want to help. In so many ways, these unsung heroes pilot the boat in which all of us sail. (英雄让我们的世界团结在一起，他们无私的奉献，帮助别人，教育孩子，保护环境。他们不要名誉，或者荣耀。他们只是想帮忙。在很多方面，这些无名英雄引领着我们所有人航行)”可知，英雄在这个世界上发挥着积极着作用，推动着世界积极的转动。故选A项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中句子“What gets lost in this? Young people’s sense of their own potential for heroic qualities--their own power to make a positive difference in the world. (在这里面迷失了什么? 年轻人对自己的英雄潜质的认识——他们自己对世界产生积极影响的能力)”可知，年轻人在自我能力上产生了迷失，他们对自己改变世界的力量没有信心。故选D项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段中句子“How do we help young people believe in their own power? The best way is simply to share examples, of other young people who have made a difference. (我们如何帮助年轻人相信自己的力量？最好的方法就是分享其他年轻人做出有影响事情的例子)”可知，作者想用分享年轻人用自己的力量做出有影响的事的例子，来论证自己的观点。接下来两段分别列举Ryan和Barbara两位年轻人的事例，来说明年轻人具有成为英雄的潜力。再根据最后一段“The list could continue. These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great. (这样的例子还有很多。这些只是一些年轻人的例子，他们发现自己可以依靠自己的力量做一些伟大的事情。)”可知，作者就是用举例的方式来进一步阐述自己观点。故选C项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句“While most people understand the importance of the first two wishes, the third one leaves some folks wondering why young people’s belief in their own power is so essential. (虽然大多数人都明白前两个愿望的重要性，但第三个愿望却让一些人疑惑，为什么年轻人对自己力量的信念如此重要) ”和最后一段最后一句“These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great. (这些只是年轻人的几个例子，他们已经发现他们可以依靠自己的力量去做一些伟大的事情) ”可知，作者开头以 “相信自己的力量”点题，结合第4题分析，段中例举了几个通过自己的力量做出改变的例子，结尾又以“自己的力量”与首段呼应，可知，整篇文章讲的是年轻人应该相信自己有能力做出有影响力有意义的事。故选D项。
五、阅读表达
阅读表达
27-year-old Lesley Kehoe and 29-year-old Gordon Bond had grown their daily travel from their home in County Kildare to their jobs in Dublin. They both loved their work, but they wanted a change and a break from their routine. Then one day they heard about Peig Sayers’ Cottage on Great Blasket Island and a decision was made immediately.
Great Blasket Island, off the beautiful coast of County Kerry, was abandoned back in 1954 after a decline in population, along with concerns about the difficulty of reaching the island in the event of an emergency. The island, which remains largely unoccupied now, does not have electricity or hot running water.
In April, Kehoe and Gordon packed their bags to head for Great Blasket Island. On the island, the couple worked to run Peig Sayers’ Cottage, a guest accommodation named after the famous Irish novelist who used to live and work there. Besides, they had to maintain the heritage(文化遗产) of Peig Sayers’ Cottage.
Kehoe discussed the change of lifestyle she’s had on the island, “There’s a wind turbine(发电机) to generate electricity. It wouldn’ t be powerful enough to run a vacuum cleaner or anything, but it can charge my phone.” This didn’t hamper them from enjoying life there. Disconnecting from the rush of everyday life and getting off the grid (电网) made them feel relaxed. They enjoyed cooking on gas cookers and lighting candles for light. Kehoe even steeled herself and got used to taking cold showers. Kehoe often shared pictures and videos that showed a way of life that may seem foreign and idyllic(悠闲的) when compared to the modern “rat race”.
The couple’s time on the island will terminate in October and Kehoe said they would be “heart-broken”to leave. She said, “I don’t think either of us is ready to leave the island; but we will have to go back to our old life. However, with this break I’ m sure we can work better after we return to our work.”
56. How did the couple react when hearing about Peig Sayers’Cottage?(no more than 10 words)
57. What did the couple mainly do on Great Blasket Island?(no more than 10 words)
58. What did the couple think of their electricity-free life?(no more than 5 words)
59. How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 5?(no more than 3 words)
60. What do you learn from the couple’s story?(no more than 20 words)
【答案】56 They immediately decided to go there.
57. They ran Peig Sayers’ Cottage and maintained its heritage.
58. It was relaxing and enjoyable.
59. End\ finish\ be over
60. Sometimes people may get tired of the fast-paced city life and a break from it can make them feel refreshed.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。一对夫妇想要在日常规律的生活中做出一些改变，于是来到一座岛上管理佩格·塞耶斯小屋。在这里，要依靠风力发电，但是只能够给手机充电。他们靠天然气做饭，用蜡烛照明，习惯了冷水洗澡。他们很享受这样悠闲的生活。现在，他们马上就要离开这座岛了，但是他们很不舍得。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Then one day they heard about Peig Sayers’ Cottage on Great Blasket Island and a decision was made immediately. (后来有一天，他们听说在大布拉斯基特岛上的佩格·塞耶斯小屋，于是立即做出了决定)”以及第三段中“In April, Kehoe and Gordon packed their bags to head for Great Blasket Island.(四月，Kehoe and Gordon收拾行囊前往大布拉斯特岛)”可知，这对夫妻听说了佩格·塞耶斯小屋后，立即做了去那里的决定。故答案为：They immediately decided to go there.。
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“On the island, the couple worked to run Peig Sayers’ Cottage, a guest accommodation named after the famous Irish novelist who used to live and work there. Besides, they had to maintain the heritage(文化遗产) of Peig Sayers’ Cottage. (在岛上，这对夫妇经营着佩格·塞耶斯小屋，这是一个以曾经在那里生活和工作的著名爱尔兰小说家的名字命名的宾馆。此外，他们还必须保护佩格·塞耶斯小屋的遗产)”可知，这对夫妻要经营佩格·塞耶斯小屋，并保护其文化遗产，故答案为：They ran Peig Sayers’ Cottage and maintained its heritage.。
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中“This didn’t hamper them from enjoying life there. Disconnecting from the rush of everyday life and getting off the grid (电网) made them feel relaxed.(这并没有妨碍他们享受那里的生活。从日常生活的匆忙中解脱出来，脱离电网，让他们感到轻松) ”可知，这对夫妻认为这种没有电的日子是很享受的，并且让他们感到放松，故答案为：It was relaxing and enjoyable.。
【59题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中“The couple’s time on the island will terminate in October and Kehoe said they would be “heart-broken”to leave. (这对夫妇在岛上的时间将于10月terminate，Kehoe说，他们将“心碎”离开) ”可知，他们要离开这个岛，所以他们在岛上的时间要结束了，terminate的意思就是“结束；停止”的意思，故答案为：End/finish/be over。
【60题详解】
这是开放性试题。根据第一段中“They both loved their work, but they wanted a change and a break from their routine. (他们都热爱自己的工作，但他们想从日常生活中得到改变和休息)”以及第四段中“This didn’t hamper them from enjoying life there. Disconnecting from the rush of everyday life and getting off the grid (电网) made them feel relaxed.(这并没有妨碍他们享受那里的生活。从日常生活的匆忙中解脱出来，脱离电网，让他们感到轻松) ”可知，人们可能会厌倦日复一日的快节奏的生活，从中摆脱休息一下，可以让人放松，精神焕发。故答案为：Sometimes people may get tired of the fast-paced city life and a break from it can make them feel refreshed.。

【答案】A Famous Figure in Chinese History
May 20, 2021
by Li Jin
The river of history keeps flowing, leaving the giants shining like diamonds. Among all the famous figures in Chinese history, the one that attracts me most is Su Shi.
Su Shi, also known as Su Dongpo, is a writer, poet, and politician in Song Dynasty. Born to a family with an extreme talent in literature, he wrote thousands of delicate poems, and even started a new genre. However, his political career wasn’t smooth, and kept wandering farther and farther in his later part of life. Nonetheless, whatever hardship he was faced with, he managed to overcome it, leaving us with the legendary pieces.
In my childhood, he showed me the beauty of poems, and enhanced my interest in literature. But as time goes, I start to realize that his influence on me is beyond literature. In the face of frustrations, he never compromised. Instead, he always kept his cool and optimistic attitude. I shall never lower my head, and will shout in the rain, just like him.
