British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work---The Underwater Museum of Cannes.
“The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen. “Ocean ecologies have been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”
The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.
Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.
“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”
4. What are the underwater museums intended to do?
A. To make huge profits. B. To raise awareness of protecting the ocean.
C. To show Jason Taylor’s talent. D. To draw attention to endangered sea animals.
5. Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask?
A. To popularize the features of the locals.
B. To remind people to protect themselves.
C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.
D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.
6. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How the project was started. B. How the seagrass was restored.
C. What recovery effort the project made. D. Why the surroundings were improved.
7. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?
A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.
B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.
C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.
D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Taylor创建水下博物馆的初衷以及该项目所造成的积极影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen.”（Taylor告诉Dezeen记者:“我们的主要目标是让人们注意到我们的海洋需要我们的帮助。” ）可知水下博物馆旨在提高人们保护海洋的意识。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.”（这些脸有6英尺高，重达10吨，被分成两部分，外部部分像一个面具。 这幅面具表明，从表面上看，世界上的海洋似乎强大而不可战胜，但它的生态系统对于粗心大意的人类活动来说极其脆弱）可知雕塑的外部看起来像一个面具是为了强调生态系统的敏感性。故选D。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.”（虽然雕塑周围的水域现在呈现出一种纯净的蓝色，但当该项目大约四年前开始时，海底充满了旧的船只引擎、管道和其他人造垃圾。 除了清理垃圾，泰勒还恢复了该地区的海草。 仅仅一平方米的海草每天就能产生多达10升的氧气。 海草还有助于防止海岸侵蚀，并为许多海洋生物提供栖息地）可知第四段主要讲了项目做出了哪些恢复努力。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.””（Taylor告诉Dezeen的记者:“创建水下博物馆的想法是为了吸引更多的人在水下，并培养一种关心和保护的意识。” “如果我们在森林附近扔垃圾，会引起公众的强烈抗议。 但这种情况每天都在我们周围的水域发生，而且很大程度上被忽视了。” ）可推断出海洋的情况很容易被忽视。故选A。
C
As a young child, I was painfully shy. I’d watch other children play in the park, wishing I could join them, but I was too scared to approach. Eventually, my mother would come to the rescue. She’d ask the other kids if I could play, too. Today, I feel comfortable giving public lectures in large halls and having conversations in small groups, but I still tend to avoid situations in which I’m expected to spend time with a roomful of strangers.
There could be many reasons. For one thing, I might be carrying some childhood fear of rejection. But beyond that possibility, one likely element is that I tend to underestimate how much people like me after I meet them, as most of us do.
A new research paper reports that the common concern that new people may not like us, or that they may not enjoy our company, is largely unfounded.
Erica Boothby of Cornell University and her colleagues conducted a series of studies to find out what our conversation partners really think of us. In doing so, they discovered a new cognitive illusion (认知错觉) they call “the liking gap”: our failure to realize how much strangers appreciate our company after a bit of conversation.
The researchers observed the gap in a variety of situations: strangers getting acquainted in the research laboratory, first-year college students getting to know their dormitory mates over the course of many months, and community members meeting fellow participants in personal development workshops. In each circumstance, people consistently underestimated how much others liked them. For much of the academic year, as dormitory mates got to know each other and even started to develop enduring friendships, the liking gap persisted.
The data also revealed some of the potential reasons for the illusion: we are often more severe with ourselves than with others, and our inner critic prevents us from appreciating how positively other people evaluate us. Not knowing what our conversation partners really think of us, we use our own thoughts as a proxy (代理人). This is a mistake, because our thoughts tend to be more negative than reality.
8. Why does the author mention his childhood experience?
A. To show how his character changed.
B. To explain what he was like when he was young.
C. To show an example of why people are shy of communication.
D. To emphasize the important role of a mother in one’s childhood.
9. What does the underlined word “unfounded” probably mean?
A. Careless. B. Baseless. C. Selfless. D. Meaningless.
10. What do we know about the liking gap from the text?
A. It indicates what strangers really think of us.
B. It begins and ends quickly among strangers.
C. It disappears when strangers get to know each other.
D. It states our misunderstanding of how much others like us.
11. Which of the following is the best title for this text?
A. People Like You More than You Know
B. How to Get Along Well with Strangers
C. The Way to Know What Others Think of Us
D. Having Conversations with Strangers Benefits Us
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现，由于“喜欢差距”，我们往往会低估别人对我们的喜爱程度，事实上，人们比你认为的更喜欢你。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“As a young child, I was painfully shy. I’d watch other children play in the park, wishing I could join them, but I was too scared to approach.”（小时候，我非常害羞。我会看着其他孩子在公园里玩耍，希望我能加入他们，但我太害怕了，不敢靠近。）和第二段内容“There could be many reasons. For one thing, I might be carrying some childhood fear of rejection. But beyond that possibility, one likely element is that I tend to underestimate how much people like me after I meet them, as most of us do.”（可能有很多原因。首先，我可能从小就害怕被拒绝。但除此之外，一个可能的因素是，我和我们大多数人一样，在遇到别人之后，往往会低估他们对我的喜爱程度。）可知，文中列举了作者童年时不愿意与其他人交流的经历，并解释了这种情况产生的原因，由此可知，作者提到他的童年经历是为了举一个例子，说明人们为什么不愿意交流。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段关键句“In doing so, they discovered a new cognitive illusion (认知错觉) they call “the liking gap”: our failure to realize how much strangers appreciate our company after a bit of conversation.”（在这样做的过程中，他们发现了一种新的认知错觉，他们称之为“喜欢差距”：经过一番交谈后，我们没有意识到陌生人有多么欣赏我们的陪伴。）可知，研究发现，认知错觉让我们没有意识到陌生人有多么喜欢我们，由此可知，人们担心新人可能不喜欢我们，或者他们可能不喜欢和我们在一起，这在很大程度上是没有根据的，是一种认知错觉，“Baseless”意为“没有根据的”，能表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“In doing so, they discovered a new cognitive illusion (认知错觉) they call “the liking gap”: our failure to realize how much strangers appreciate our company after a bit of conversation.”（在这样做的过程中，他们发现了一种新的认知错觉，他们称之为“喜欢差距”：经过一番交谈后，我们没有意识到陌生人有多么欣赏我们的陪伴。）可知，“喜欢差距”指的是经过一番交谈后，我们没有意识到陌生人有多么喜欢我们，由此可知，“喜欢差距”表明了我们对别人有多喜欢我们的误解。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段关键句“But beyond that possibility, one likely element is that I tend to underestimate how much people like me after I meet them, as most of us do.”（但除此之外，一个可能的因素是，我和我们大多数人一样，在遇到别人之后，往往会低估他们对我的喜爱程度。）和第四段关键句“In doing so, they discovered a new cognitive illusion (认知错觉) they call “the liking gap”: our failure to realize how much strangers appreciate our company after a bit of conversation.”（在这样做的过程中，他们发现了一种新的认知错觉，他们称之为“喜欢差距”：经过一番交谈后，我们没有意识到陌生人有多么欣赏我们的陪伴。）可知，由于“喜欢差距”，我们往往会低估别人对我们的喜爱程度，事实上，人们比你认为的更喜欢你，“People Like You More than You Know”意为“人们比你知道的更喜欢你”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选A项。
D
The deep-sea oil and gas industry has vast and costly facilities to maintain. Wells, other equipment, and thousands of kilometers of pipelines must be inspected and repaired.
Now, cutting-edge underwater drones (无人机) and robots are being developed that could make the work safer and cheaper. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a camera at each end. It can be kept at a station at depths of up to half a kilometer for six months, without being brought back to the surface. The robot can travel up to 20 kilometers before needing to return to its station to recharge.
Maintenance work at many deep-water wells and pipeline systems is already carried out by unmanned vehicles. But these vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and then remotely operated from onboard the surface ship. That can cost up to $100,000 per day, according to Pål Liljebäck, chief technology officer with Eelume Subsea Intervention, which developed the robot. Liljebäck says that by “enabling the robot to become a subsea resident living at a station, it can be mobilized at any time to do inspections, thereby reducing the need for costly surface ships”.
Eelume can work autonomously on tasks assigned from a control room onshore, and send back video and data. Its snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle (扭动) its body to stay in place in strong currents. By staying under the sea, it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.
The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth around $7 billion in 2025, according to analysts, and other companies are in the process of commercializing new deep-sea drone and robot technology. Eelume Subsea Intervention will carry out final testing on the seabed later this year at the Åsgard oil and gas field. It expects to put its first snake robots into use next year and hopes to have up to 50 in oceans around the world by 2027.
12. What is one feature of Eelume?
A. It can travel nearly 40 kilometers before recharging.
B. It can dive as deep as 500 meters.
C. It works mainly around the station.
D. It works for 6 months on one charge.
13. What is the problem with unmanned vehicles?
A. They are too costly to maintain.
B. They are hard to operate remotely.
C. They require transportation to and from work.
D. They have to work on a fully crewed ship all the time.
14. What can be expected of Eelume in the future?
A. It will require no further tests.
B. It will be worth around $ 7 billion.
C. It will be put on the market in 2027.
D. It will face a lot of competitors.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A snake robot is on its way for underwater tasks.
B. Eelume is the new choice for constructing pipelines.
C. Maintenance work on the ocean floor is a risky job.
D. Unmanned vehicles marketing has seen strong growth.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍研究人员正在研发一款蛇形机器人，用于深海石油和天然气开采设备的维护。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“It can be kept at a station at depths of up to half a kilometer for six months, without being brought back to the surface. The robot can travel up to 20 kilometers before needing to return to its station to recharge. (它可以在深度达半公里的站点保留六个月，而不用被带回地面。该机器人可以行驶20公里，然后需要返回站点充电)”可知，它在再次充电前可以运行大约40公里。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But these vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and then remotely operated from onboard the surface ship. (但这些工具通常需要用一艘满载船员的船运输到海上现场，然后在海面舰艇上远程操作)”可知，这些无人设备需要被运送到作业现场。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“and other companies are in the process of commercializing new deep-sea drone and robot technology. (其他公司正在将新的深海无人机和机器人技术商业化)”推知，Eelume将面临很多的竞争对手。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第二段的“Now, cutting-edge underwater drones (无人机) and robots are being developed that could make the work safer and cheaper. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a camera at each end. (现在，尖端的水下无人机和机器人的开发可以使工作更安全、更便宜。其中包括六米长的蛇形机器人Eelume，它的两端都装有传感器和摄像头)”可知，本文介绍研究人员正在研发一款蛇形机器人，用于深海石油和天然气开采设备的维护，即一款在水下执行任务的蛇形机器人。故选A。

【答案】16. E 17. D 18. G 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。讲述了我们应对焦虑的一些策略和方法。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Stress can improve your work performance, think more quickly and more efficiently. ”（压力可以提高你的工作表现，思考更快更有效率。）提到了压力在生活中带给我们的好处。下文“These high levels of stress and anxiety have harmful effects on both your mental health and your performance. ”（这些高水平的压力和焦虑对你的心理健康和表现都有害。）讲到了压力和焦虑过大会对健康带来害处。所以空白处应为承上启下的作用。与前文表示转折，开启下文的话题，即压力有时还是会对健康带来害处的。选项E.“That being said, sometimes stress can turn into anxiety, which is overwhelming.”（话虽如此，有时候压力会转化为焦虑，这是不可抗拒的。）与文意相符，故选E。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Simply being aware of what is causing your anxiety can help to lessen the effects. Try to take some time to reflect on what could be causing your anxiety.”（只要知道是什么引起你的焦虑，可以帮助减轻影响。花点时间想想是什么导致了你的焦虑。）说明了找到引起焦虑的原因可以帮助减轻其带来的影响。所以下文应该陈述一旦找到焦虑的原因后，会带来什么结果。选项D.“Once you address the causes, it puts you in a better position to treat it.”（一旦你解决了病因，你就能更好地治疗它。）与前文逻辑一致，符合题意，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据前文“For example, if you're someone that tends to be a bit of a perfectionist, you might experience higher levels of exam anxiety.”（例如，如果你是一个有点完美主义的人，你可能会经历更高程度的考试焦虑。）列举了会带来更大焦虑的一个情景，因而下文应该承接前文讲述这种焦虑对你而言的意义。选项G.“This often means you set yourself up for failure or disappointment, due to the fear of never feeling ‘good enough’.”（这通常意味着你将自己置于失败或失望之中，因为你害怕自己永远不会觉得“足够好”。）符号逻辑，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Most of the time, the key to reducing exam anxiety is making full preparations. Make an early start on your revision. Starting 6 weeks before the exam is usually recommended. ”（大多数时候，减少考试焦虑的关键是做好充分的准备。早点开始复习。通常建议在考试前6周开始。）提到了减少焦虑的关键是做好充分的准备，同时列举了两个具体的方法。下文“Take enough time to do yourself justice.”（给自己足够的时间来审视自己。）说明我们要根据自己的实际情形来安排。所以空白处应该讲述充分准备也是分情况而定的。选项F.“But this can change depending on where you feel you are in your studies and the study level.”（但这可能会因为你在学习中的感觉和学习水平而改变。）与文意相符，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Studying constantly will make you worn out, and you may even feel burnt out long before you even get the chance to sit the exam.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。迄今为止，技术上最具挑战性的铁路可能是2006年完工的青藏铁路，这条铁路连接西宁和拉萨。文章主要介绍了青藏铁路修建所遇到的问题。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：迄今为止，技术上最具挑战性的铁路可能是2006年完工的青藏铁路，这条铁路连接西宁和拉萨。分析句子结构可知complete在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语the Qinghai-Tibet Railway构成被动关系，故用过去分词。故填completed。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这条铁路最初是在20世纪50年代规划的，但技术上的困难太多了，无法克服。此处为句型too... to do... “太……以至于不能做……，用动词不定式作结果状语。故填to overcome。
【38题详解】
考查强调句。句意：直到1984年，从西宁到格尔木的第一个814公里的铁路才完工。去掉It was和设空处句子依然完整，由此可知，此处为强调句：it was not until+被强调部分+ that。故填that。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在夏天，通常永久冻土的顶层迅速融化，变成泥浆，使地面变得不稳定。句中已有谓语动词turns，且无连词，故空处应用非谓语动词，make与逻辑主语为主语为主动关系，此处应用现在分词作结果状语。故填making。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：为了解决这个问题，我们采用了各种解决方案。结合句意，此处表示“各种”短语为a variety of。故填variety。
【41题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：在某些情况下，修建了铁路桥。主语railway bridges与谓语build构成被动关系，结合上文solutions were used to get around this可知，此处应用一般过去时的被动语态。主语为railway bridges，谓语用复数。故填were built。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意：最后，在一些地区，在永久冻土层上修建铁路是不可能的，所以工程师们在那里挖隧道。结合句意和句子结构，此处应用连词so连接两个有因果关系的并列句。故填so。
43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：希望青藏铁路的建设经验可以用于一个新项目，连接中国和巴基斯坦。project“项目”为可数名词，此处为泛指，且new是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词a。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：这条铁路将要穿行1000千米，横跨昵称为世界屋脊的帕米尔山脉。因为这条铁路线还没有建成，所以根据句意，travel应当使用一般将来时。故填will travel。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：建设这样一条铁路无疑是一项技术挑战。副词修饰整个句子，结合句意表达“无疑地”应用undoubtedly/ doubtless/ doubtlessly。故填undoubtedly/ doubtless/ doubtlessly。

Emily White came to the world 17 years ago, with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive long. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In her hometown, a yearly outdoor performance was held in the school auditorium (礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the own's people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only in elude the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens—her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a glance at Amy's body and said, ''Child, you are just not suitable. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too. ''
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral (合唱的) room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Butler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn't want to be rejected again, so she hesitated about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Butler called, ''Emily, you’re next.'' Kind of nervous as she was, Emily did as Mr. Butler told her to. Mr. Butler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Butler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She tossed and turned in bed one thousand times. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn't fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain due to stress.
Paragraph 1:
Emily hurried to the choral room and anxiously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally, the day of performance came.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Emily hurried to the school and nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. The fear of being rejected came to strike again. ''Jeff Green, Rose Black…'' she murmured as her eyes moved upward. ''Wow! '' Emily abruptly covered her wide-opened mouth, feeling as if her heart would jump out. There, at the top of the list was posted her name. The leading singer! However, whispers around her pulled her back to earth. Just then, she felt a pat on the shoulder. It was Mr. Butler. ''We selected you for our faith in your abilities and voice. '' Inspired, Emily practiced even harder for the day of performance.
Finally the day for the performance came. Emily's eyes danced with excitement as she stepped on to the stage. Standing still, she heard noises among the crowd. Obviously not cheers! Emily felt nervous again and even her legs began trembling. At that moment, her eyes parked on Mr. Butler at the corner. He nodded and exchanged a determined glance with her, which timely put her heart back in place. With the music rising, Emily began her singing. Her sweet voice poured and the audience fell into an abrupt silence. When she finished, the auditorium erupted into a sea of cheers. Emily White in tears, with so many birth problems in her body, became the shiniest star!
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了天生有很多身体缺陷但嗓音甜美的Emily被音乐老师Owens拒绝参加选拔，从而决定不再尝试。今年新的音乐老师Butler鼓励Emily去参加选拔。
【详解】续写分为两个自然段。
第一段的开头是：Emily匆忙赶到合唱室，焦虑地看着合唱室门上的名单。所以可以接着写：害怕被拒绝的恐惧再次用上心头，Emily从最后开始，默念看到的每个名字。终于她念到了自己的名字，她很兴奋，自己是第一名。但是耳边却传来了同学们的讽刺和讥笑。还好，Butler老师这时赶过来说，是因为Emily的实力，才选择了她。
第二段的开头是：终于，表演的那天来了。所以可以接着写：Emily忐忑地走上舞台，开始认真演唱，但听到台下的议论她开始变得紧张。这时，站在角落里的Butler老师向她投来鼓励和信任的目光。Emily受到鼓舞，认真表演直到结束。她的表演受到了大家的肯定，礼堂爆发出雷鸣一般的掌声和欢呼声。
续写时注意所写内容要符合逻辑。续写的词数应为150左右。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些主从复合句，例如：Emily abruptly covered her wide-opened mouth, feeling as if her heart would jump out.中as if引导表语从句；He nodded and exchanged a determined glance with her, which timely put her heart back in place.中which引导非限制性定语从句。

British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work---The Underwater Museum of Cannes.
“The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen. “Ocean ecologies have been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”
The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.
Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.
“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”
4. What are the underwater museums intended to do?
A. To make huge profits. B. To raise awareness of protecting the ocean.
C. To show Jason Taylor’s talent. D. To draw attention to endangered sea animals.
5. Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask?
A. To popularize the features of the locals.
B. To remind people to protect themselves.
C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.
D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.
6. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How the project was started. B. How the seagrass was restored.
C. What recovery effort the project made. D. Why the surroundings were improved.
7. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?
A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.
B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.
C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.
D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Taylor创建水下博物馆的初衷以及该项目所造成的积极影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen.”（Taylor告诉Dezeen记者:“我们的主要目标是让人们注意到我们的海洋需要我们的帮助。” ）可知水下博物馆旨在提高人们保护海洋的意识。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.”（这些脸有6英尺高，重达10吨，被分成两部分，外部部分像一个面具。 这幅面具表明，从表面上看，世界上的海洋似乎强大而不可战胜，但它的生态系统对于粗心大意的人类活动来说极其脆弱）可知雕塑的外部看起来像一个面具是为了强调生态系统的敏感性。故选D。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.”（虽然雕塑周围的水域现在呈现出一种纯净的蓝色，但当该项目大约四年前开始时，海底充满了旧的船只引擎、管道和其他人造垃圾。 除了清理垃圾，泰勒还恢复了该地区的海草。 仅仅一平方米的海草每天就能产生多达10升的氧气。 海草还有助于防止海岸侵蚀，并为许多海洋生物提供栖息地）可知第四段主要讲了项目做出了哪些恢复努力。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.””（Taylor告诉Dezeen的记者:“创建水下博物馆的想法是为了吸引更多的人在水下，并培养一种关心和保护的意识。” “如果我们在森林附近扔垃圾，会引起公众的强烈抗议。 但这种情况每天都在我们周围的水域发生，而且很大程度上被忽视了。” ）可推断出海洋的情况很容易被忽视。故选A。
C
As a young child, I was painfully shy. I’d watch other children play in the park, wishing I could join them, but I was too scared to approach. Eventually, my mother would come to the rescue. She’d ask the other kids if I could play, too. Today, I feel comfortable giving public lectures in large halls and having conversations in small groups, but I still tend to avoid situations in which I’m expected to spend time with a roomful of strangers.
There could be many reasons. For one thing, I might be carrying some childhood fear of rejection. But beyond that possibility, one likely element is that I tend to underestimate how much people like me after I meet them, as most of us do.
A new research paper reports that the common concern that new people may not like us, or that they may not enjoy our company, is largely unfounded.
Erica Boothby of Cornell University and her colleagues conducted a series of studies to find out what our conversation partners really think of us. In doing so, they discovered a new cognitive illusion (认知错觉) they call “the liking gap”: our failure to realize how much strangers appreciate our company after a bit of conversation.
The researchers observed the gap in a variety of situations: strangers getting acquainted in the research laboratory, first-year college students getting to know their dormitory mates over the course of many months, and community members meeting fellow participants in personal development workshops. In each circumstance, people consistently underestimated how much others liked them. For much of the academic year, as dormitory mates got to know each other and even started to develop enduring friendships, the liking gap persisted.
The data also revealed some of the potential reasons for the illusion: we are often more severe with ourselves than with others, and our inner critic prevents us from appreciating how positively other people evaluate us. Not knowing what our conversation partners really think of us, we use our own thoughts as a proxy (代理人). This is a mistake, because our thoughts tend to be more negative than reality.
8. Why does the author mention his childhood experience?
A. To show how his character changed.
B. To explain what he was like when he was young.
C. To show an example of why people are shy of communication.
D. To emphasize the important role of a mother in one’s childhood.
9. What does the underlined word “unfounded” probably mean?
A. Careless. B. Baseless. C. Selfless. D. Meaningless.
10. What do we know about the liking gap from the text?
A. It indicates what strangers really think of us.
B. It begins and ends quickly among strangers.
C. It disappears when strangers get to know each other.
D. It states our misunderstanding of how much others like us.
11. Which of the following is the best title for this text?
A. People Like You More than You Know
B. How to Get Along Well with Strangers
C. The Way to Know What Others Think of Us
D. Having Conversations with Strangers Benefits Us
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A

The deep-sea oil and gas industry has vast and costly facilities to maintain. Wells, other equipment, and thousands of kilometers of pipelines must be inspected and repaired.
Now, cutting-edge underwater drones (无人机) and robots are being developed that could make the work safer and cheaper. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a camera at each end. It can be kept at a station at depths of up to half a kilometer for six months, without being brought back to the surface. The robot can travel up to 20 kilometers before needing to return to its station to recharge.
Maintenance work at many deep-water wells and pipeline systems is already carried out by unmanned vehicles. But these vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and then remotely operated from onboard the surface ship. That can cost up to $100,000 per day, according to Pål Liljebäck, chief technology officer with Eelume Subsea Intervention, which developed the robot. Liljebäck says that by “enabling the robot to become a subsea resident living at a station, it can be mobilized at any time to do inspections, thereby reducing the need for costly surface ships”.
Eelume can work autonomously on tasks assigned from a control room onshore, and send back video and data. Its snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle (扭动) its body to stay in place in strong currents. By staying under the sea, it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.
The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth around $7 billion in 2025, according to analysts, and other companies are in the process of commercializing new deep-sea drone and robot technology. Eelume Subsea Intervention will carry out final testing on the seabed later this year at the Åsgard oil and gas field. It expects to put its first snake robots into use next year and hopes to have up to 50 in oceans around the world by 2027.
12. What is one feature of Eelume?
A. It can travel nearly 40 kilometers before recharging.
B. It can dive as deep as 500 meters.
C. It works mainly around the station.
D. It works for 6 months on one charge.
13. What is the problem with unmanned vehicles?
A. They are too costly to maintain.
B. They are hard to operate remotely.
C. They require transportation to and from work.
D. They have to work on a fully crewed ship all the time.
14. What can be expected of Eelume in the future?
A. It will require no further tests.
B. It will be worth around $ 7 billion.
C. It will be put on the market in 2027.
D. It will face a lot of competitors.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A snake robot is on its way for underwater tasks.
B. Eelume is the new choice for constructing pipelines.
C. Maintenance work on the ocean floor is a risky job.
D. Unmanned vehicles marketing has seen strong growth.

【16题详解】
根据前文“Stress can improve your work performance, think more quickly and more efficiently. ”（压力可以提高你的工作表现，思考更快更有效率。）提到了压力在生活中带给我们的好处。下文“These high levels of stress and anxiety have harmful effects on both your mental health and your performance. ”（这些高水平的压力和焦虑对你的心理健康和表现都有害。）讲到了压力和焦虑过大会对健康带来害处。所以空白处应为承上启下的作用。与前文表示转折，开启下文的话题，即压力有时还是会对健康带来害处的。选项E.“That being said, sometimes stress can turn into anxiety, which is overwhelming.”（话虽如此，有时候压力会转化为焦虑，这是不可抗拒的。）与文意相符，故选E。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Simply being aware of what is causing your anxiety can help to lessen the effects. Try to take some time to reflect on what could be causing your anxiety.”（只要知道是什么引起你的焦虑，可以帮助减轻影响。花点时间想想是什么导致了你的焦虑。）说明了找到引起焦虑的原因可以帮助减轻其带来的影响。所以下文应该陈述一旦找到焦虑的原因后，会带来什么结果。选项D.“Once you address the causes, it puts you in a better position to treat it.”（一旦你解决了病因，你就能更好地治疗它。）与前文逻辑一致，符合题意，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据前文“For example, if you're someone that tends to be a bit of a perfectionist, you might experience higher levels of exam anxiety.”（例如，如果你是一个有点完美主义的人，你可能会经历更高程度的考试焦虑。）列举了会带来更大焦虑的一个情景，因而下文应该承接前文讲述这种焦虑对你而言的意义。选项G.“This often means you set yourself up for failure or disappointment, due to the fear of never feeling ‘good enough’.”（这通常意味着你将自己置于失败或失望之中，因为你害怕自己永远不会觉得“足够好”。）符号逻辑，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Most of the time, the key to reducing exam anxiety is making full preparations. Make an early start on your revision. Starting 6 weeks before the exam is usually recommended. ”（大多数时候，减少考试焦虑的关键是做好充分的准备。早点开始复习。通常建议在考试前6周开始。）提到了减少焦虑的关键是做好充分的准备，同时列举了两个具体的方法。下文“Take enough time to do yourself justice.”（给自己足够的时间来审视自己。）说明我们要根据自己的实际情形来安排。所以空白处应该讲述充分准备也是分情况而定的。选项F.“But this can change depending on where you feel you are in your studies and the study level.”（但这可能会因为你在学习中的感觉和学习水平而改变。）与文意相符，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Studying constantly will make you worn out, and you may even feel burnt out long before you even get the chance to sit the exam. Make sure that you have at least one day off from revision a week.”（不停地学习会让你筋疲力尽，甚至在你有机会参加考试之前，你就会感到筋疲力尽。确保每周至少有一天不用复习。）提到我们在学习疲惫的同时也要注意休息，即要劳逸结合。所以空白处应总说我们也不能忽略照顾自己的健康。选项A.“Also, try not to neglect your self-care.”（而且，不要忽视你的自我照顾。）符合题意，故选A。

Emily White came to the world 17 years ago, with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive long. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In her hometown, a yearly outdoor performance was held in the school auditorium (礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the own's people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only in elude the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens—her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a glance at Amy's body and said, ''Child, you are just not suitable. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too. ''
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral (合唱的) room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Butler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn't want to be rejected again, so she hesitated about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Butler called, ''Emily, you’re next.'' Kind of nervous as she was, Emily did as Mr. Butler told her to. Mr. Butler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Butler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She tossed and turned in bed one thousand times. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn't fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain due to stress.
Paragraph 1:
Emily hurried to the choral room and anxiously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally, the day of performance came.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Emily hurried to the school and nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. The fear of being rejected came to strike again. ''Jeff Green, Rose Black…'' she murmured as her eyes moved upward. ''Wow! '' Emily abruptly covered her wide-opened mouth, feeling as if her heart would jump out. There, at the top of the list was posted her name. The leading singer! However, whispers around her pulled her back to earth. Just then, she felt a pat on the shoulder. It was Mr. Butler. ''We selected you for our faith in your abilities and voice. '' Inspired, Emily practiced even harder for the day of performance.
Finally the day for the performance came. Emily's eyes danced with excitement as she stepped on to the stage. Standing still, she heard noises among the crowd. Obviously not cheers! Emily felt nervous again and even her legs began trembling. At that moment, her eyes parked on Mr. Butler at the corner. He nodded and exchanged a determined glance with her, which timely put her heart back in place. With the music rising, Emily began her singing. Her sweet voice poured and the audience fell into an abrupt silence. When she finished, the auditorium erupted into a sea of cheers. Emily White in tears, with so many birth problems in her body, became the shiniest star!
