This has to be my favorite of the illustrated editions
The “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” illustrated edition has to be opinion the most beautiful of all of the ones released so far. Each of the pages is illustrated beautifully for every fantastic creature you can possibly imagine in the Potter universe. My personal favorite was the dragon section which has beautiful illustrations of several different species of dragons. This book is a must buy for both new and older fans of the series and a great collection item for any Potter fan. So if you’re looking for a great present who loves Harry Potter, get these illustrated editions!

Disappointing book

2. The book does not have a dust jacket which is inconsistent with all of my other HP books and disappointing.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (Harry Potter)部分“Profits from the sale of this book will go to Comic Relief and J.K. Rowlings international charity, Lumos, which will do magic beyond the powers of any wizard. (这本书的销售利润将捐给喜剧救济会和J.K.罗琳的国际慈善机构Lumos，他们会施出任何巫师都无法施的魔法)”可知，《神奇动物在哪里》的销售收入将捐给慈善事业。故选C项。
【2题详解】

【3题详解】

What I was anticipating was amazing detail and a beautiful book. What I received looks like a rough draft. Not worth the price I paid.(插图缺乏深度。这本书的大部分都是彩色的草稿。我自己也能想象。我期待的是惊人的细节和一本漂亮的书。我收到的看起来只是个草稿。不值得我付出的代价)”可知，克鲁普斯基认为《神奇动物在哪里》的插图没有达到她的期望。故选C项。
B
I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games – “Do We Need It?” and “Put It in Its Place”– and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine.
If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.
So, this time I found help – the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full Kondo? I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them together for consideration. It makes you rethink how you organize. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy. This way you’re choosing what to keep. And that’s how I find myself with all my clothes on my bedroom floor. My wife walks by and gives me a look that says I’m nuts. She’s probably not wrong.
Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I move through the pile: pants, shirts, suits and shoes. Then my last category: jackets. I haven’t worn the thing in about 30 years. Somehow, it has survived. Now that I’m striving to follow Kondo – surely, its time has come?
I hold it in my hand. There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. It’s literally falling apart. Will I ever wear it again? Not a chance. Does it feel good to wear? Does it bring me joy? Actually, yes. At this moment, my daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia (怀念) is the very reason.
I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.
4. What does the underlined word “discarded” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. adjusted B. reserved C. abandoned D. tidied
5. What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up?
A. To learn how to categorize. B. To improve his tidying skills.
C. To persuade his family members. D. To develop passion for minimalism.
6. What is the attitude of the author’s family members toward minimalism?
A. They don’t understand it. B. They completely support it.
C. They are strongly opposed to it. D. They are less passionate about it.
7. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Knowing when to let go B. Classifying what you love
C. Throwing worn-out clothes D. Keeping valuable possessions
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文中作者喜欢完全的极简主义风格，但家人并不支持他，为了提高整理技巧，作者去读了《改变生活的整理魔法》。在整理满地的衣服时，作者发现了难以舍弃的夹克衫，又把它放在了“保留”堆里。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. ”（说实话，我自己的整理技能并没有我想要的那么好。我的“discarded”堆从来都不是我想要的垃圾山，因为我为东西为什么有用找借口）可知，爱整理的作者，整理出来要扔弃的不是自己想要的垃圾山。故划线词意思是丢弃，近义词是abandoned。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I want to be better at moving on.”(我想更好地继续前进)以及第三段“So, this time I found help – the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love.”（所以，这次我找到了帮助——为像我这样的人准备的经典书籍:近藤麻理惠的《改变生活的整理魔法》。近藤对她的技艺的投入是惊人的。她的哲学是只保留自己喜欢的东西）可知，提高他的整理技巧是驱使作者去读《改变生活的整理魔法》。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games – ‘Do We Need It?’ and ‘Put It in Its Place’– and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine. ”（我喜欢扔掉东西。我喜欢完全的极简主义风格，但我的妻子和两个十几岁的孩子不喜欢我那种几乎什么都没有的房子的梦想。我已经试过了。当孩子们还小的时候，我教他们我最喜欢的两个游戏——“我们需要它吗?”和《放回原处》——每隔几个月就让他们演奏一次。他们的热情永远比不上我）可知，家人们对极简主义不那么有激情。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据最后一段“I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.”（我相信向前看，而不是向后看。然而，有时候放手是很难的。所以我轻轻地把夹克放在“保留”那一堆）可知，作者一直坚持极简主义风格，但是在整理过程中也遇到了难以取舍的物品，所以本文围绕着“在收纳过程中知道什么时候放手”的主题展开。“知道什么时候放手”适合做最佳标题。故选A。
C
Normally giving food to wild animals is not allowed, but the situation in Florida with over 1,000 manatees (海牛) dying from hunger leads officials to consider a plan to feed them. “We’ve never done such a thing with any wildlife, but the situation has become such an emergency that it has to be considered,” said Patrick Rose, the Executive Director of Save the Manatee Club. “This is a necessary but temporary measure. But I believe the impact is lasting.”
The emerging plan would involve feeding manatees at a Florida Power & Light plant in Cape Canaveral where manatees stay in cold winter months because of the warm water discharge there. It would be an experiment involving greens delivered in a controlled manner such as by a conveyor belt. “People will not be authorized to simply start throwing food. It’s illegal, and remains so.”
Manatees have long struggled to survive with humans, whose activities bring many harmful effects. Hundreds of the slow-moving animals are struck by boats every year. The accidents have led to no-wake manatee zones throughout Florida with violations (违反) punishable by significant fines. However, they are just responsible for a small part of the loss of manatees. The hunger threat has led to a record of 1,017 manatee deaths as of Nov. 19, 2021.
This has been caused mainly by runoff from farms, urban areas and waste that promotes algal blooms (藻华). Climate change worsening algal blooms is also a factor. And it’s not just manatees. People’s health can also be affected by the blooms along with the health of a range of sea creatures. Besides, there’s an economic loss for boat captains and sightseeing tour organizers.
“Actually, saving manatees is part of saving the ecosystem. If we take care, manatees will grow well. If we don’t, they won’t,” Rose said. “We’re in the most critical position.” Manatees were listed as endangered when the government started to protect them in 1967. Increased protections helped manatee numbers increase from around 1,000 to 8,000 by 2017 enough to have their position to be downgraded from “endangered” to “threatened”.
8. What can be learned about the plan to feed manatees?
A. It is a long-term strategy.
B. It is carried out across Florida.
C. It is the first of its kind.
D. It is aimed at saving the ecosystem.
9. What does the underlined word “they” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. Human activities. B. Boat accidents.
C. No-wake manatee zones. D. Significant fines.
10. Why does the author mention the figures in the last paragraph?
A. To prove manatees’ value in the ecosystem.
B. To explain challenges faced by manatees.
C. To encourage people to feed manatees actively.
D. To show the necessity of humans’ protections.
11 What is the text mainly about?
A. Wide-ranging effects of manatees’ deaths.
B. A special feeding plan for Florida manatees.
C. Growing food shortage faced by manatees.
D. Ecological crises caused by human activities.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。通常情况下，给野生动物喂食是被禁止的，但佛罗里达州海牛的危险处境促使官员们考虑一项前所未有的海牛喂养计划。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“We’ve never done such a thing with any wildlife, but the situation has become such an emergency that it has to be considered(我们从未对任何野生动物做过这样的事情，但情况已经变得如此紧急，必须予以考虑)”可知，喂养海牛计划是同类计划中的第一个。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。前文“Hundreds of the slow-moving animals are struck by boats every year. The accidents have led to no-wake manatee zones throughout Florida with violations (违反) punishable by significant fines.(每年有数百只行动迟缓的动物被船撞到。这些事故导致了整个佛罗里达州的无尾流海牛区，违反规定将被处以巨额罚款。) ”提到每年数百只海牛被船只撞上，最后一句“The hunger threat has led to a record of 1,017 manatee deaths as of Nov. 19, 2021.(截至2021年11月19日，饥饿威胁已导致创纪录的1017头海牛死亡。)”表明到2021年11月19日，已有1017只海牛被饿死，故画线词所在句表示船只事故只为海牛的死亡负一小部分责任。故they指“船只事故”。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段的“ Manatees were listed as endangered when the government started to protect them in 1967. Increased protections helped manatee numbers increase from around 1,000 to 8,000 by 2017 enough to have their position to be downgraded from “endangered” to “threatened”.(1967年政府开始保护海牛时，海牛被列为濒危动物。到2017年，增加的保护措施帮助海牛数量从大约1000头增加到8000头，足以使它们的地位从“濒危”降级为“受威胁”)”提到政府从1967年开始保护海牛，至2017年，增加的保护措施使海牛的数量从1000只左右增长到8000只，再结合Rose的话“We’re in the most critical position.(我们处于最关键的位置。)”可推断，作者提到这些数据是为了支持Rose的话，表明人类采取保护措施的必要性。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Normally giving food to wild animals is not allowed, but the situation in Florida with over 1,000 manatees (海牛) dying from hunger leads officials to consider a plan to feed them. (通常情况下，给野生动物喂食是不被允许的，但在佛罗里达州，超过1000头海牛死于饥饿的情况促使官员们考虑给它们喂食的计划。)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要介绍为了救助佛罗里达州挨饿的海牛，佛罗里达州推出了一项史无前例的海牛喂养计划，B项“一项针对佛罗里达州海牛的特殊喂养计划”概括了文章的主要内容。故选B。
D
On Saturday night, a five-person team of the Chinese e-sports club, with the full name EDward Gaming, won the 2021 League of Legends World Championship in Reykjavik , Iceland , beating defending champion Damwon KIA (DK) from South Korea. The live streaming of the championship had over 200 million viewers on two major domestic smartphone apps and other channels.
The team has taken the opportunity to share Chinese culture with the world. At the beginning of the championship, the members of EDG and other staff displayed tai chi, martial arts and traditional Chinese costumes in Reykjavik, launching a “Chinese hurricane” in the Icelandic capital. Now the posting of photos and videos on social networks have spread that hurricane to the whole world.
With the popularity of digital technology, new forms of cultural exchanges have been appearing, of which e-sports are of the hottest. Unlike texts and videos, e-sports go beyond the barriers of language and are understandable around the world.
Also e-sports appeal most to those in their early 20s, as shown by the carnival of college students on Saturday night. That in turn makes them a good bridge of communication between Chinese youngsters and their counterparts (同行) around the world. More importantly, the e-sports industry is sustainable (可持续的) in spreading Chinese culture, as the large audiences mean huge commercial potential. In 2020 alone, the sales profit of the domestic e-sports industry went beyond $ 43.56 billion, and involved 280,000 companies, which in tum created over 10 million jobs.
As early as 2019, Hainan province announced its ambitious plan of building an international e-sports center. On Nov 5, the Organizing Committee of the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou city, announced it had listed eight e-sports as events in the Games. Both show the strong policy support being given to e-sports.
With more Chinese star gaming clubs and teams appearing the industry is expected to boom and continue spreading Chinese culture to the world.
12. What can we know from the news report?
A. E-sports play a significant role in bridging cultures between nations.
B. The number of the viewers around the world reached over 200 million.
C. There was a severe hurricane in Reykjavik, Iceland on Saturday night.
D. EDward Gaming has won the LoL World Championship twice on end.
13. What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 indicate?
A. E-sports appealed to people of all ages.
B. 2020 witnessed a turning point of e-sports.
C. E-sports gave birth to many new companies.
D. E-sports boosted economic development.
14. What can we infer from the last but one paragraph?
A. The first international E-sports centre was built in 2019.
B. E-sports enjoyed great popularity in Hainan and Zhejiang.
C. E-sports received official support from the authorities.
D. E-sports were first listed as events in the Asian Games.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the e-sports industry?
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Cautious.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文报道了周六中国电子竞技俱乐部EDG在冰岛雷克雅未克击败韩国队DK，获得2021年英雄联盟世界锦标赛冠军，电子竞技行业将蓬勃发展，并继续向世界传播中国文化。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The team has taken the opportunity to share Chinese culture with the world (该团队借此机会与世界分享中国文化)”以及最后一段“With more Chinese star gaming clubs and teams appearing, the industry is expected to boom and continue spreading Chinese culture to the world(随着更多中国明星游戏俱乐部和团队的出现，该行业有望蓬勃发展，并继续向世界传播中国文化)”可知，中国电子竞技俱乐部分享中国文化，随着电竞行业的蓬勃发展，中国文化会继续向世界传播，可见，电子竞技在沟通各国文化方面发挥着重要作用。因此，从新闻报道中我们能了解到A项“E-sports play a significant role in bridging cultures between nations.(电子竞技在沟通各国文化方面发挥着重要作用)”符合题意，故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。通读第四段，尤其是“In 2020 alone, the sales profit of the domestic e-sports industry went beyond $ 43.56 billion, and involved 280,000 companies, which in tum created over 10 million jobs.(仅在2020年，国内电子竞技产业的销售利润就超过435.6亿美元，涉及28万家公司，创造了1000多万个就业岗位)”可知，电子竞技产业产生了巨大的商业价值，促进了经济的发展。因此，第四段中的数字表示是D项“E-sports boosted economic development. (电子竞技促进了经济发展)”符合题意，故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“As early as 2019, Hainan province announced its ambitious plan of building an international e-sports center. On Nov 5, the Organizing Committee of the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou city, announced it had listed eight e-sports as events in the Games. (早在2019年，海南省就宣布了建设国际电子竞技中心的宏伟计划。11月5日，杭州2022年亚运会组委会宣布将八项电子竞技列为本届亚运会的比赛项目。两者都显示出对电子竞技的有力政策支持)”可知，海南和杭州的这两项政策，表明了官方非常支持电子竞技行业。因此，从倒数第二段我们能推断出的是C项“E-sports received official support from the authorities.(电子竞技得到了当局的官方支持)”符合题意，故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段 “With more Chinese star gaming clubs and teams appearing, the industry is expected to boom and continue spreading Chinese culture to the world.(随着更多中国明星游戏俱乐部和团队的出现，该行业有望蓬勃发展，并继续向世界传播中国文化)”可知，作者认为，电子竞技有望蓬勃发展。因此，作者对电子体育产业持什么态度是C项“Positive.(积极乐观的)”符合题意，故选C项。

Not until recently have I known that a little pet can be such a helpful assistant (助手) to a helpless mom. This is all due to what our new family member, a little kitten named Thula, has done. She seems to understand exactly what Iris needs at any given time.
Within a year of my daughter’s birth in 2015, I already suspected that something was wrong. Even by babies’ standards, Iris was a frighteningly bad sleeper. She also appeared unmistakably distant. Besides, after saying “dada” at eight months, she stopped talking. Finally, aged two, she was diagnosed as autistic(自闭的).
In fact, after a long process of trial and error, I found activities that obviously did help her, including music and riding on the back of her dad’s bike. Above all, Iris showed a remarkable talent for art: producing large multi-layered Impressionist-style paintings that took her several days and that once led to the Leicester Mercury headline, “Top artist aged 3.”
Iris did make progress, but by no means steadily, with promising developments often followed by periods of regression (退步).
One night, Iris refused to sleep. As her frustrations(沮丧，懊丧) mounted, she started to cry, and her sobs filled the quiet room. I felt so hopeless as I held her close. Nothing seemed to comfort her apart from her favorite book and I longed for some help, but she pushed away all who tried except me, making me on the edge of breaking down.
Downstairs, my husband looked at Thula in surprise who had suddenly got up off his lap. Her eyes focused towards the door and she had one foot raised, perfectly poised(悬在) in the air. Something had grabbed her attention – the crying of Iris. Then her legs were moving fast. Zooming round the corner, she flew up the stairs into Iris’s bedroom and jumped onto the bed. She curled（蜷缩） up next to Iris, ignored the crying and started grooming(梳毛) herself, licking her paws (舔爪子) and rubbing them over her ears.
Paragraph 1:
Almost immediately, Iris’s mood changed.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I was curious about the silence, then returned to the door of Iris’s room and looked in.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Almost immediately, Iris’s mood changed. She stopped crying and giggled at Thula’s huge ears as they were folded down forward and then pinged back. It was a performance like nothing I had seen before, combining comedy with beauty. Iris relaxed, put down her book and looked at the kitten with great joy. Seizing the opportunity, I slipped out of the room and waited at the bottom of the stairs, listening for the inevitable crying that would take me back to her side. Moments later, there was silence: no giggling, no pages being turned, and no cries.
I was curious about the silence, then returned to the door of Iris’s room and looked in. Iris had gone to sleep with her kitten by her side. Iris’s hand rested on Thula’s shoulders and I could hear a gentle purr. Although still a tiny kitten and a new member of our family, Thula was already looking after Iris. For me, a helpless mother, she was also a friend, stepping in and helping when I longed for it the most. I didn’t even need to ask, but she knew instinctively what to do and how to help. This magical kitten was changing our lives and this was just the beginning.
【解析】
