W: That’s good to hear, but then why do I have this pain?
M: The main problem with your hand is caused by too much typing. You only need to stop doing that for a month or two.
W: A month or two? Typing is part of my job. It’s what I do. What’s more, my company is very busy at the moment. I’m on my feet all day.
M: I understand that. However, rest is the only cure. You use your hand too much and, as a result, you’ve injured it.
W: I believe you, doctor, but you can see my problem. On the one hand I need to get better, but on the other hand I need to work. It’s hard for me to do both.
M: Take a break, Molly. Only then will your hand get better.

W: Don’t you remember? It’s the one about the atom.
M: Like the atom bomb?
W: No, it’s about how they function. I have suggested a new theory which scientists all around the world are now accepting.

M: Oh, no. That’s terrible!
W: This is so unlike him. I just came home from the park and I noticed that our front gate was open.
M: Well, I did see him playing on your front grassland earlier today. I think the gate was closed then, though. Have you spoken to the other neighbors on the street? Maybe they’ve seen him.
W: Yeah, but nobody else has seen him. I think the mailman must have forgotten to close the gate.
M: Have you thought about creating a “missing” poster?
W: Yes but my parents haven’t gotten back from work yet. Can you help me?
M: Of course. First, you need a picture of him, so people know what he looks like. Then you should mention some other important information about him. How old is he?
W: He’s 12 years old, so he isn’t exactly young anymore. He has long white hair and he doesn’t see very well. He also has a small brown spot on his back.
M: That’s a great start. I’ll help you print out some posters, and we’ll go put them up on the telephone poles in the neighborhood. Hopefully — oh, Susie, look who it is!
W: Charlie!
听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】
18. What is the main idea of the talk?
A. Movies are highly inaccurate.
B. Society seems like magic enough.
C. Science is advancing very quickly.
19. What would happen to the person from 1500 A.D. waking up today?
A.
He would be tired.
B. He would get confused.
C. He would be disappointed.
20. How old is the speaker?
A. Forty. B. Sixty. C. Ninety.
【答案】18. C 19. B 20. B
【解析】
【原文】Many things in our every day lives would have seemed like magic to previous generations. Think of that small device we all love. It lets two people on opposite sides of the globe talk to each other. Or, that box with little people living inside of it — at least our distant ancestors would guess so, if they ever saw a television. But the technologies shown as impossible in movies and books from just 40 years ago are now real. That was when the Hollywood space trend of the 1980s happened. I personally remember watching those films when they came out. Clearly, they missed the mark for what the far future will look like. It’s obvious that scientific progress is moving faster today than people have ever seen. Every generation in history has thought about his own time. A person born in 1000 A.D. could probably understand the world if he woke up five hundred years later. Things would be different, but they would still make sense. But, can you imagine a person from 1500 A.D. waking up today? The other side of this question is this: How much change is too much for us to handle? This is an issue society has never seriously thought about, since we have never seen such rapid transformation in the world. While I am at the age of sixty, I still cannot guess what the world will look like if I reach my 90s.
第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
I had just delivered a memorized speech that I had labored over for months, and I was about to learn how the experts judged my performance. The polite audience leaned forward in their folding chairs. Silence fell across the room and the drum rolled in my mind.
The contest organizer announced the third-place winner. Alas, the name was not mine. Then the second, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. Either I was about to be bathed in the warmth of victory or regretted the last several months spent preparing. While neither of these came to pass, my heart just sank.
Losing is a part of life, but it was an indescribable depression to drive 200 miles round trip, get up early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four contestants. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he reportedly said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who stubbed his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
Months before the contest, I had spent hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. As I read through several biographies, one idea stood out: Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to permanently stop his spirit or ambition. I thought “failing successfully” was a very appropriate topic, given the many letdowns Lincoln experienced, and so this became the title of my speech.
Never mind the lost prize money and praise — I did gain a new perspective. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with a failure, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful 1854 Senate race, “The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’”
21. How did the author feel when waiting for the announcement of the result?
A. Relieved. B. Thrilled. C. Nervous. D. Desperate.
22. Why did the author mention Lincoln’s failures in Senate race?
A. To show Lincoln’s determination to win Senate race.
B. To present his research findings of Lincoln’s biographies.
C. To compare what they had in common in their experiences.
D. To indicate that he drew inspiration from Lincoln’s failures.
23. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An Unexpected Speech B. A Slippery Path
C. A Successful Failure D. An Impressive Example
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. C
【解析】

主旨大意题。本文讲述了作者参加演讲比赛落败后，感悟到失败并不意味着所有的努力都白费了，一个人也可以“有成就地失败”，收获的不一定非得是奖金和赞扬，也可以是一种新的观点和感悟，根据最后一段“Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with a failure, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful 1854 Senate race, “The path was worn and slippery.

B
When did you last write a letter? Properly write one — by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail, is the writing on the wall for traditional pen and paper? Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it’s not time to ditch your ballpoint or fountain pen yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But crafting a handwritten document is unique: it requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students, where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile feedback (触觉反馈)” to the brain that contact between pen and paper does. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary, who says that taking notes by hand involves cognitive engagement in summarising, paraphrasing, organising, concept and vocabulary mapping. Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits of using pen and paper too. Scribbling (匆忙书写) notes, shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC, “In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.”
So, while digital skills remain important, don’t write off your pens and pencils yet — especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power.
24. The underlined word “ditch” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A. abandon B. preserve C. conduct D. employ
25. Which of the following belongs to the features of writing by hand?
A. It can be edited and delivered online.
B. It strengthens people’s cognitive abilities.
C. It lacks the “tactile feedback” to the brain.
D. It promotes motor skills throughout your body.
26. What did Katherine Moller suggest in Para 4?
A. People are supposed to turn off the virtual world.
B. Scribbling notes, shopping lists, or messages saves time.
C. It is quite convenient to communicate with others online.
D. Writing by hand is an important way to care about others.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。虽然如今数字科技快捷方便，但不要放弃你的笔，用手书写在很多方面对人们都有好处。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词所在句子的前半句“Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits(有些人声称写作仍然有很多好处)”可知，一些人认为用手书写东西有益，因此可推知，我们不应该丢掉我们用于书写的笔，由此可知，划线词ditch与“abandon抛弃”同义，表示“抛弃；丢弃”。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper.(一些专家认为，使用传统的笔和纸对大脑有益)”及第三句“BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary,who says that "taking notes by hand involves cognitive(认知的)engagement in summarizing, adapting, organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping. （英国广播公司WorkLoad网站援引卡尔加里大学的Hetty Roessingh的话，他说“用手记笔记包括在总结、适应、组织、概念和词汇映射方面的认知参与”）”可知，手写有助于提高人的认知能力。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的Katherine Moller所说的话“In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.(在一个人们很容易上网发电子邮件或快速短信的世界里，知道有人愿意关掉虚拟世界和你共度时光是一件非常私人、非常珍贵的事情)”可知，Katherine Moller认为手写一封信是一次感人而宝贵的经历，因为手写是关心他人的重要方式。故选D。
C
As new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting fireworks to light up the sky. But the fireworks could finally lose their appeal with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows. One obvious example was drone light show in the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympics.
Ollie Howitt, a technician at SkyMagic, which used 300 drones to create a display for London’s new year celebration, said demand had increased substantially. She added that drones were increasingly able to fly in greater density and for longer. Howitt also said there were benefits of drones, “They give out no pollutants, they’re reusable, and there’s no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice.”
Robert Neff, the general manager at Mercia Harbor, also said the decision to use a drone display at the harbor was down to a number of factors, including the impact of fireworks on animals — from wildlife to the pets of boat owners. “They’ve often commented on how much suffering is caused to their pets by the fireworks,” he said.
But not everyone agrees. Hans Rosling, a spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium (锂) batteries which are known not to be all that ‘green’,” he said. “The impact of firework use on the environment has been shown to be minor and very short-lived and recent studies have suggested that there is likely to be more pollution from a couple of cars driving to an event than caused by fireworks at an event.”
And there are issues with drone light displays, which need to receive specific safety approval from certain authorities. Some suggest the use of drones doesn’t mean shutting off fireworks. The bangs of fireworks create a sound feeling that is hard to replace. Meanwhile, others prefer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of image.
27. Why does the writer talk about the Tokyo Olympics in Para 1?
A. To attract readers’ attention to the Olympics.
B. To advocate setting off fireworks in the new year.
C. To introduce the popular use of drones for light shows.
D. To highlight people’s celebration of this opening ceremony.
28. What did Ollie Howitt think of drone displays?
A. They bring environmental problems.
B. They cause little suffering to the pets.
C. They add color to the new year celebration.
D. They are economical and environmentally-friendly.
29. Which of the following did Hans Rosling agree with?
A. Firework displays last shorter than drone displays.
B. The pollution from fireworks isn’t as much as people think.
C. Drones have less impact on the environment than fireworks.
D. People should abandon the drone displays because of lithium batteries.
30. What are people’s attitudes towards drone light displays?
A. Controversial. B. Favorable. C. Cautious. D. Neutral.
【答案】27. C 28. D 29. B 30. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演秀的优点及可能给环境带来的影响，以及人们对无人机灯光表演秀的不同态度。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段后两句“But the fireworks could finally lose their appeal with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows. One obvious example was drone light show in the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympics.(但随着无人机在灯光表演中的使用越来越多，烟花可能最终失去吸引力。一个显著的例子就是东京奥运会开幕式上的无人机灯光表演)”可知，作者提及东京奥运会是为了举例说明无人机在灯光表演中的广泛应用。故选C。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后Ollie Howitt所说的话“They give out no pollutants, they’re reusable, and there’s no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice.(它们不释放污染物，可重复使用，而且没有放射性尘埃之类的东西。所以从这个意义上说，它们是一个非常明智的选择)”可知，Ollie Howitt认为无人机表演秀不释放污染物、没有放射性尘埃，还可重复利用，即它们既环保又经济实惠。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后Hans Rosling所说的话“The impact of firework use on the environment has been shown to be minor and very short-lived and recent studies have suggested that there is likely to be more pollution from a couple of cars driving to an event than caused by fireworks at an event.(使用烟花对环境的影响十分微小且非常短暂，最近的研究表明，几辆汽车开到活动现场可能比活动燃放烟花造成的污染都多)”可知，Hans Rosling认为燃放烟花的污染并不像人们想象的那么严重。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后Ollie Howitt所说的话“They give out no pollutants, they’re reusable, and there’s no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice.(它们不释放污染物，可重复使用，而且没有放射性尘埃之类的东西。所以从这个意义上说，它们是一个非常明智的选择)”可知，Ollie Howitt对于无人机表演秀是支持的；根据第四段第一句“But not everyone agrees.(但并非所有人都这么认为)”及Hans Rosling所说的话“Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium (锂) batteries which are known not to be all that ‘green’(有人认为，无人机对环境的影响较小，但我们对电力需求和锂电池的使用感到担忧，众所周知，锂电池并不完全是“绿色”的)”可知，Hans Rosling对于无人机的使用是持怀疑态度的。因而可知，人们对于无人机表演秀的使用有不同看法，存在争议的。故选A。

With the pandemic in full swing, most colleges and universities have transitioned almost all of their classes online. Some students prefer online classes. They love having the flexibility to work from home and to work in the hours they want to work. ____31____ They find working from home difficult and they learn better from in-person instruction. A number of students fall in between. Whichever you prefer, you can always find ways to do better. Read on for some tips for acting online classes.
Read the syllabus (大纲).
When you need to know something, do not blindly go through your online education portal clicking tabs or go ahead and email your professor. Wait until you have looked through the syllabus for your answers. The syllabus is supposed to be your guide for the entire semester.
____32____ It should tell you basically everything that you need to know for the class. Anytime you have a question about your schedule, check the syllabus.
Note the deadlines.
In an online class, it is incredibly easy to let deadlines creep upon you or even pass you by before you even know it. So make sure that you note the deadlines. However you need to do that or find doing that to be most effective, do it. Find writing things down in your planner most effective? Do it. Making reminders on your phone? Do it. Filling it out in your online calendar? Do it. ____33____
Ask questions.
While strategy number one told you that you should not immediately email your professor with a question, that was in regards to asking questions that could be answered by the syllabus.
____34____ Professors do not actively want their students to fail, so if they can reasonably help you out, they will.
____35____ But knowing that and preparing for it is half the battle. Using these tips and strategies will help you navigate the world of online learning and keep your GPA and morale up even when the rest of the events of the world might be bringing you down.
A. Online classes can be tough.
B. It is fun to attend online classes.
C. They think they can save much time and energy.
D. Other students really struggle with online classes.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文就如何上好网课给出几点建议。
【31题详解】
根据前文“Some students prefer online classes.(一些学生喜欢上网课)”可知，本段陈述学生对于网课的不同态度，D项“Other students really struggle with online classes.(其他学生在上网课时真的很吃力)”中的“Other students”与前文“Some students”对应。故选D。
【32题详解】
前文“The syllabus is supposed to be your guide for the entire semester.(教学大纲应该是你整个学期的指南)”指出“syllabus教学大纲”的作用，E项“It tells you what you are doing, when, why, and how.(它告诉你需要做什么，什么时候，为什么，以及如何做)”中的it指代syllabus，承接上文，继续说明它的作用。故选E。
【33题详解】
根据前文“However you need to do that or find doing that to be most effective, do it.(不管你需要做什么，或者觉得做什么是最有效的，就去做吧)”可知，当确定做某件事是有成效的时候，应该当即去做，F项“You do not want to fail a class because you never turned anything in.(你不想因为从未提交过任何东西就不及格吧)”中“never turned anything in”与前文中的“do it”表述意思相反，但都旨在说明应该在截止日期前完成一些事情。故选F。
【34题详解】
前文“While strategy number one told you that you should not immediately email your professor with a question, that was in regards to asking questions that could be answered by the syllabus.(虽然策略一告诉你，你不应该立即给教授发电子邮件问问题，但这是关于提出可以由教学大纲回答的问题)”指出如果能通过教学大纲解决的问题就不必向教授提出，G项“However, you shouldn’t be afraid to message your professor with thoughtful questions.(然而，你不应该害怕向教授提出有想法的问题)”与前文形成转折，指出可以提出有意义的问题，呼应段落标题“Ask questions提问题”。故选G。
【35题详解】
根据后文“But knowing that and preparing for it is half the battle.(但知道这一点并做好准备就是成功的一半)”中的but可知，设空处与后文是转折关系，且最后一段作为总结段，应该紧扣“网课”主题，A项“Online classes can be tough.(上网课可能会艰难)”在句意上符合与后文的转折关系，也呼应了主题。故选A。

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells corny jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead?” She laughed, “Don’t be silly. We will have fun!”
“OK, fellas!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest snowflake hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here goes!”
Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or an assembly, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself — and me!!!
But apparently my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.

Paragraph 1
“I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
My mom turned out to be more than a little OK at performing.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think. I closed my eyes, covered my ears and shrank as low as I possibly could in my chair. After a few seconds, though, I mustered up enough courage to uncover one ear and peek through a half-open eye. That’s when I saw the expression of pure joy on my mom’s face. She was having so much fun that I couldn’t help smiling. My classmates clapped and cheered, and I heard someone say, “Wow! Arizona’s mother is pretty talented!”
My mom turned out to be more than a little OK at performing. She was also good at teaching us the song and the dance steps, too. We learned quickly. By the time of the fair, I was actually proud of her for putting herself out there for the sake of us kids. Our performance at the Winter Fair was a huge success. As we drove home, I said to my mom, “I’m really glad you volunteered to help my class with the performance.” My mom reached back and squeezed my hand. “Thanks for saying that. I can see why you might’ve been embarrassed, but I had such a great time.”

M: Oh, no. That’s terrible!
W: This is so unlike him. I just came home from the park and I noticed that our front gate was open.
M: Well, I did see him playing on your front grassland earlier today. I think the gate was closed then, though. Have you spoken to the other neighbors on the street? Maybe they’ve seen him.
W: Yeah, but nobody else has seen him. I think the mailman must have forgotten to close the gate.
M: Have you thought about creating a “missing” poster?
W: Yes but my parents haven’t gotten back from work yet. Can you help me?
M: Of course. First, you need a picture of him, so people know what he looks like. Then you should mention some other important information about him. How old is he?
W: He’s 12 years old, so he isn’t exactly young anymore. He has long white hair and he doesn’t see very well. He also has a small brown spot on his back.
M: That’s a great start. I’ll help you print out some posters, and we’ll go put them up on the telephone poles in the neighborhood. Hopefully — oh, Susie, look who it is!
W: Charlie!

18. What is the main idea of the talk?
A. Movies are highly inaccurate.
B. Society seems like magic enough.
C. Science is advancing very quickly.
19. What would happen to the person from 1500 A.D. waking up today?
A.
He would be tired.
B. He would get confused.
C. He would be disappointed.
20. How old is the speaker?
A. Forty. B. Sixty. C. Ninety.
【答案】18. C 19. B 20. B
【解析】
【原文】Many things in our every day lives would have seemed like magic to previous generations. Think of that small device we all love. It lets two people on opposite sides of the globe talk to each other. Or, that box with little people living inside of it — at least our distant ancestors would guess so, if they ever saw a television. But the technologies shown as impossible in movies and books from just 40 years ago are now real. That was when the Hollywood space trend of the 1980s happened. I personally remember watching those films when they came out. Clearly, they missed the mark for what the far future will look like. It’s obvious that scientific progress is moving faster today than people have ever seen. Every generation in history has thought about his own time. A person born in 1000 A.D. could probably understand the world if he woke up five hundred years later. Things would be different, but they would still make sense. But, can you imagine a person from 1500 A.D. waking up today? The other side of this question is this: How much change is too much for us to handle? This is an issue society has never seriously thought about, since we have never seen such rapid transformation in the world. While I am at the age of sixty, I still cannot guess what the world will look like if I reach my 90s.
第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）

A
I had just delivered a memorized speech that I had labored over for months, and I was about to learn how the experts judged my performance. The polite audience leaned forward in their folding chairs. Silence fell across the room and the drum rolled in my mind.
The contest organizer announced the third-place winner. Alas, the name was not mine. Then the second, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. Either I was about to be bathed in the warmth of victory or regretted the last several months spent preparing. While neither of these came to pass, my heart just sank.
Losing is a part of life, but it was an indescribable depression to drive 200 miles round trip, get up early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four contestants. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he reportedly said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who stubbed his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
Months before the contest, I had spent hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. As I read through several biographies, one idea stood out: Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to permanently stop his spirit or ambition. I thought “failing successfully” was a very appropriate topic, given the many letdowns Lincoln experienced, and so this became the title of my speech.
Never mind the lost prize money and praise — I did gain a new perspective. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with a failure, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful 1854 Senate race, “The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’”
21. How did the author feel when waiting for the announcement of the result?
A. Relieved. B. Thrilled. C. Nervous. D. Desperate.
22. Why did the author mention Lincoln’s failures in Senate race?
A. To show Lincoln’s determination to win Senate race.
B. To present his research findings of Lincoln’s biographies.
C. To compare what they had in common in their experiences.
D. To indicate that he drew inspiration from Lincoln’s failures.
23. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An Unexpected Speech B. A Slippery Path
C. A Successful Failure D. An Impressive Example
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. C
【解析】

When did you last write a letter? Properly write one — by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail, is the writing on the wall for traditional pen and paper? Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it’s not time to ditch your ballpoint or fountain pen yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But crafting a handwritten document is unique: it requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students, where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile feedback (触觉反馈)” to the brain that contact between pen and paper does. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary, who says that taking notes by hand involves cognitive engagement in summarising, paraphrasing, organising, concept and vocabulary mapping. Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits of using pen and paper too. Scribbling (匆忙书写) notes, shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC, “In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.”
So, while digital skills remain important, don’t write off your pens and pencils yet — especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power.
24. The underlined word “ditch” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A. abandon B. preserve C. conduct D. employ
25. Which of the following belongs to the features of writing by hand?
A. It can be edited and delivered online.
B. It strengthens people’s cognitive abilities.
C. It lacks the “tactile feedback” to the brain.
D. It promotes motor skills throughout your body.
26. What did Katherine Moller suggest in Para 4?
A. People are supposed to turn off the virtual world.
B. Scribbling notes, shopping lists, or messages saves time.
C. It is quite convenient to communicate with others online.
D. Writing by hand is an important way to care about others.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。虽然如今数字科技快捷方便，但不要放弃你的笔，用手书写在很多方面对人们都有好处。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词所在句子的前半句“Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits(有些人声称写作仍然有很多好处)”可知，一些人认为用手书写东西有益，因此可推知，我们不应该丢掉我们用于书写的笔，由此可知，划线词ditch与“abandon抛弃”同义，表示“抛弃；丢弃”。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper.(一些专家认为，使用传统的笔和纸对大脑有益)”及第三句“BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary,who says that "taking notes by hand involves cognitive(认知的)engagement in summarizing, adapting, organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping. （英国广播公司WorkLoad网站援引卡尔加里大学的Hetty Roessingh的话，他说“用手记笔记包括在总结、适应、组织、概念和词汇映射方面的认知参与”）”可知，手写有助于提高人的认知能力。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的Katherine Moller所说的话“In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.(在一个人们很容易上网发电子邮件或快速短信的世界里，知道有人愿意关掉虚拟世界和你共度时光是一件非常私人、非常珍贵的事情)”可知，Katherine Moller认为手写一封信是一次感人而宝贵的经历，因为手写是关心他人的重要方式。故选D。
C
As new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting fireworks to light up the sky. But the fireworks could finally lose their appeal with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows. One obvious example was drone light show in the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympics.
Ollie Howitt, a technician at SkyMagic, which used 300 drones to create a display for London’s new year celebration, said demand had increased substantially. She added that drones were increasingly able to fly in greater density and for longer. Howitt also said there were benefits of drones, “They give out no pollutants, they’re reusable, and there’s no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice.”
Robert Neff, the general manager at Mercia Harbor, also said the decision to use a drone display at the harbor was down to a number of factors, including the impact of fireworks on animals — from wildlife to the pets of boat owners. “They’ve often commented on how much suffering is caused to their pets by the fireworks,” he said.
But not everyone agrees. Hans Rosling, a spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium (锂) batteries which are known not to be all that ‘green’,” he said. “The impact of firework use on the environment has been shown to be minor and very short-lived and recent studies have suggested that there is likely to be more pollution from a couple of cars driving to an event than caused by fireworks at an event.”
And there are issues with drone light displays, which need to receive specific safety approval from certain authorities. Some suggest the use of drones doesn’t mean shutting off fireworks. The bangs of fireworks create a sound feeling that is hard to replace. Meanwhile, others prefer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of image.
27. Why does the writer talk about the Tokyo Olympics in Para 1?
A. To attract readers’ attention to the Olympics.
B. To advocate setting off fireworks in the new year.
C. To introduce the popular use of drones for light shows.
D. To highlight people’s celebration of this opening ceremony.
28. What did Ollie Howitt think of drone displays?
A. They bring environmental problems.
B. They cause little suffering to the pets.
C. They add color to the new year celebration.
D. They are economical and environmentally-friendly.
29. Which of the following did Hans Rosling agree with?
A. Firework displays last shorter than drone displays.
B. The pollution from fireworks isn’t as much as people think.
C. Drones have less impact on the environment than fireworks.
D. People should abandon the drone displays because of lithium batteries.
30. What are people’s attitudes towards drone light displays?
A. Controversial. B. Favorable. C. Cautious. D. Neutral.
【答案】27. C 28. D 29. B 30. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演秀的优点及可能给环境带来的影响，以及人们对无人机灯光表演秀的不同态度。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段后两句“But the fireworks could finally lose their appeal with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows. One obvious example was drone light show in the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympics.(但随着无人机在灯光表演中的使用越来越多，烟花可能最终失去吸引力。一个显著的例子就是东京奥运会开幕式上的无人机灯光表演)”可知，作者提及东京奥运会是为了举例说明无人机在灯光表演中的广泛应用。故选C。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后Ollie Howitt所说的话“They give out no pollutants, they’re reusable, and there’s no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice.(它们不释放污染物，可重复使用，而且没有放射性尘埃之类的东西。所以从这个意义上说，它们是一个非常明智的选择)”可知，Ollie Howitt认为无人机表演秀不释放污染物、没有放射性尘埃，还可重复利用，即它们既环保又经济实惠。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后Hans Rosling所说的话“The impact of firework use on the environment has been shown to be minor and very short-lived and recent studies have suggested that there is likely to be more pollution from a couple of cars driving to an event than caused by fireworks at an event.(使用烟花对环境的影响十分微小且非常短暂，最近的研究表明，几辆汽车开到活动现场可能比活动燃放烟花造成的污染都多)”可知，Hans Rosling认为燃放烟花的污染并不像人们想象的那么严重。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后Ollie Howitt所说的话“They give out no pollutants, they’re reusable, and there’s no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice.(它们不释放污染物，可重复使用，而且没有放射性尘埃之类的东西。所以从这个意义上说，它们是一个非常明智的选择)”可知，Ollie Howitt对于无人机表演秀是支持的；根据第四段第一句“But not everyone agrees.(但并非所有人都这么认为)”及Hans Rosling所说的话“Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium (锂) batteries which are known not to be all that ‘green’(有人认为，无人机对环境的影响较小，但我们对电力需求和锂电池的使用感到担忧，众所周知，锂电池并不完全是“绿色”的)”可知，Hans Rosling对于无人机的使用是持怀疑态度的。因而可知，人们对于无人机表演秀的使用有不同看法，存在争议的。故选A。

With the pandemic in full swing, most colleges and universities have transitioned almost all of their classes online. Some students prefer online classes. They love having the flexibility to work from home and to work in the hours they want to work. ____31____ They find working from home difficult and they learn better from in-person instruction. A number of students fall in between. Whichever you prefer, you can always find ways to do better. Read on for some tips for acting online classes.
Read the syllabus (大纲).
When you need to know something, do not blindly go through your online education portal clicking tabs or go ahead and email your professor. Wait until you have looked through the syllabus for your answers. The syllabus is supposed to be your guide for the entire semester.
____32____ It should tell you basically everything that you need to know for the class. Anytime you have a question about your schedule, check the syllabus.
Note the deadlines.
In an online class, it is incredibly easy to let deadlines creep upon you or even pass you by before you even know it. So make sure that you note the deadlines. However you need to do that or find doing that to be most effective, do it. Find writing things down in your planner most effective? Do it. Making reminders on your phone? Do it. Filling it out in your online calendar? Do it. ____33____
Ask questions.
While strategy number one told you that you should not immediately email your professor with a question, that was in regards to asking questions that could be answered by the syllabus.
____34____ Professors do not actively want their students to fail, so if they can reasonably help you out, they will.
____35____ But knowing that and preparing for it is half the battle. Using these tips and strategies will help you navigate the world of online learning and keep your GPA and morale up even when the rest of the events of the world might be bringing you down.
A. Online classes can be tough.
B. It is fun to attend online classes.
C. They think they can save much time and energy.
D. Other students really struggle with online classes.

【答案】31. D 32. E 33. F 34. G 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文就如何上好网课给出几点建议。
【31题详解】
根据前文“Some students prefer online classes.(一些学生喜欢上网课)”可知，本段陈述学生对于网课的不同态度，D项“Other students really struggle with online classes.(其他学生在上网课时真的很吃力)”中的“Other students”与前文“Some students”对应。故选D。
【32题详解】
前文“The syllabus is supposed to be your guide for the entire semester.(教学大纲应该是你整个学期的指南)”指出“syllabus教学大纲”的作用，E项“It tells you what you are doing, when, why, and how.(它告诉你需要做什么，什么时候，为什么，以及如何做)”中的it指代syllabus，承接上文，继续说明它的作用。故选E。
【33题详解】
根据前文“However you need to do that or find doing that to be most effective, do it.(不管你需要做什么，或者觉得做什么是最有效的，就去做吧)”可知，当确定做某件事是有成效的时候，应该当即去做，F项“You do not want to fail a class because you never turned anything in.(你不想因为从未提交过任何东西就不及格吧)”中“never turned anything in”与前文中的“do it”表述意思相反，但都旨在说明应该在截止日期前完成一些事情。故选F。
【34题详解】
前文“While strategy number one told you that you should not immediately email your professor with a question, that was in regards to asking questions that could be answered by the syllabus.(虽然策略一告诉你，你不应该立即给教授发电子邮件问问题，但这是关于提出可以由教学大纲回答的问题)”指出如果能通过教学大纲解决的问题就不必向教授提出，G项“However, you shouldn’t be afraid to message your professor with thoughtful questions.(然而，你不应该害怕向教授提出有想法的问题)”与前文形成转折，指出可以提出有意义的问题，呼应段落标题“Ask questions提问题”。故选G。
【35题详解】
根据后文“But knowing that and preparing for it is half the battle.(但知道这一点并做好准备就是成功的一半)”中的but可知，设空处与后文是转折关系，且最后一段作为总结段，应该紧扣“网课”主题，A项“Online classes can be tough.(上网课可能会艰难)”在句意上符合与后文的转折关系，也呼应了主题。故选A。

第二节 读后续写 (满分 25 分)
67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells corny jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Um,” I said on our way home, “are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” “I know volunteering is important,” I said, “but couldn’t you help out in Tex and Indi’s kindergarten instead?” She laughed, “Don’t be silly. We will have fun!”
“OK, fellas!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest snowflake hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years back, when I did some theater in college. Here goes!”
Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or an assembly, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself — and me!!!
But apparently my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.

3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

Paragraph 1
“I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
My mom turned out to be more than a little OK at performing.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think. I closed my eyes, covered my ears and shrank as low as I possibly could in my chair. After a few seconds, though, I mustered up enough courage to uncover one ear and peek through a half-open eye. That’s when I saw the expression of pure joy on my mom’s face. She was having so much fun that I couldn’t help smiling. My classmates clapped and cheered, and I heard someone say, “Wow! Arizona’s mother is pretty talented!”
My mom turned out to be more than a little OK at performing. She was also good at teaching us the song and the dance steps, too. We learned quickly. By the time of the fair, I was actually proud of her for putting herself out there for the sake of us kids. Our performance at the Winter Fair was a huge success. As we drove home, I said to my mom, “I’m really glad you volunteered to help my class with the performance.” My mom reached back and squeezed my hand. “Thanks for saying that. I can see why you might’ve been embarrassed, but I had such a great time.”
