Why bother? 为什么要麻烦？C. Why me? 为什么是我？D. That’s for sure.那是肯定的。根据语境和后文“It’s too good an opportunity to miss.”可知，此处表示“肯定”。故选D项。2. D 【详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意：起初来自英国，但现居都柏林的霍金斯参加了本次比赛。A. slightly轻微地；B. incredibly难以置信地；C. eventually最终；D. originally起初。结合语意，霍金斯起初来自英国，现在居住在都柏林，所以空处应用副词originally，表示“起初”。故选D。3. A 【详解】考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：整个2022年，世界经济增长仍然疲软，希望在2023年逐渐回升。A. pick up拾起，恢复；B. break up分解，解散；C. wind up以……告终；D. wrap up（使）穿的暖和,包裹。分析句子结构可知，此处应为动词原形，结合句意可知，此处表示“逐渐恢复”为pick up。故选A。4. B 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：最近他们在研制一种新药，其效果引起了我们的高度关注。此处为介词+关系代词结构非限制性定语从句修饰先行词 a new kind of drug，结合短语be concerned about可知应用介词about，从句缺少定语。故选B。5. A 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我认为，如果你们不是好朋友，最好避免和他谈论政治、宗教等敏感话题。A. sensitive敏感的；B. skeptical怀疑的；C. aggressive有敌意的，冒犯的；D. attractive吸引人的。根据句意可知，此处为形容词sensitive“敏感的”作定语修饰名词topics，满足句意要求。故选A项。6. D 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：从互联网到数字电视等新媒体的发展，意味着从事广告工作的人将不得不想出更多方法来吸引公众的注意力。分析句子结构可知，means是谓语，that引导的是宾语从句，从句中的谓语是will have，所以此处应为非谓语动词，range与其逻辑主语the development of new media之间为主动关系，结合句意可知，此处表示的是当前的状态，所以使用现在分词形式作定语。故选D。7. C 【详解】考查情态动词。句意：黛拉滑雪回来时，她的父母抱怨她摔倒时可能会摔断腿。根据上文“her parents complained(她的父母抱怨)”可知，黛拉滑雪摔倒时可能会摔断腿只是一个对过去可能会发生的事情的推测，而且仅仅为理论上的可能性，应使用情态动词can或could，再根据情态动词的用法，表示对过去事实的推测要使用“情态动词 + have + 过去分词”结构，故选C。8. D 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：GPNP旨在为生活在大熊猫范围内的所有物种提供更有力的保护，并显著改善该地区生态系统的健康状况。分析句子结构，空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词species，关系词在从句中作主语，先行词指物，且先行词前有all修饰，只能用关系代词that引导从句。故选D。9. D 【详解】考查时态。句意：例如，在一个名为N6 Fly Climate Sci的网站上，大约200名学者——其中许多气候科学家已经承诺，自两年前开始这项行动以来，将尽可能少坐飞机。根据时间状语since the effort started two years ago可知，主句应使用现在完成时，故选D。10. C 【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：当时我们必须假设这种疾病正在传播，并采取行动阻止它。A. arrangement安排；B. appointment约会；C. assumption假设；D. assistance帮助。结合句意，that引导的同位从句是抽象名词assumption的具体内容。故选C。11. B 【详解】考查冠词用法。句意：神舟十五号乘组自2022年11月以来完成四次舱外活动，创下单一乘组最多太空行走国内纪录。A第一空表示“创下一项国内纪录”，应用不定冠词；第二空表示最高级，表示“太空次数最多”，形容词最高级前用定冠词the。故选B。12. A 【详解】考查祈使句+and句型。句意：——英语的词汇量很大，不是吗？——是的。知道更多的词汇和短语，你将会发现阅读和交流变得很容易。根据句意及所给句子可知，此处是祈使句+and+含将来时的句型。故选A。13. B 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：她看着照片陷入沉思，没有听到敲门声。“didn’t hear”是谓语，空格处用非谓语动词， lost in thought是固定短语，意为“陷入沉思”，因此空格处用过去分词lost作状语，lose与逻辑主语she是被动关系。故选B。14. D 【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：由于他为实现和平和国际合作所做的努力，总统被授予诺贝尔和平奖。A. Far from远非；B. Regardless of不管，不顾；C. Rather than而不是；D. Due to由于。结合句意，表示原因，应用due to。故选D。15. A 【详解】考查连词词义辨析。句意：——你知道昨天我们镇上新开了一家购物中心吗？——是的。既然我们有时间，为什么不去拜访一下呢？A. since因为，既然；B. though虽然；C. until直到……为止；D. unless除非。根据上下文可知，前文存在因果关系，此处应用since引导原因状语从句。故选A。第二节: 完形填空 (共20小题;每小题1. 5分，满分30分)【导读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在汽车修配厂老板D的办公室里发现了一张报纸，上面报道着一个在污染牛奶恐慌中，把牛都杀掉以让消费者放心的奶农，老板D用这样一个故事来提醒自己按照正直、信任和诚实的标准经营自己的修配厂，这给作者留下了深刻的印象，最后，作者把自己的儿子送到这个修配厂做学徒。16.

Wellness vacations are on the rise.(有时，当涉及到照顾我们的身心健康时，我们需要一点帮助，并回到一种正念的状态。健康假期正在兴起)”结合文章主要介绍了四个健康假期活动的信息。可推知，这篇文章的目的是介绍一些健康假期。故选D。阅读B篇【导语】这是一篇说明文。科学家和研究人员担心，法国阿尔卑斯山脉贝戈山岩石上的36000幅图画正在迅速受损，以至于它们无法为后代保留下来。文章介绍了这一遗迹如今遭受破坏的现状以及相关人员给出的保护建议。41. 细节理解题。根据第三段“He says “People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there.

Some animals can move fast to adjust to a quickly changing climate. Plants, being less mobile, rely on means such as seed dispersal (传播) by animals, wind or water to move to new areas, but this redistribution typically occurs within one kilometer of the original plant.(全球变暖的快速速度及其对栖息地的影响提出了一个问题，即物种是否能够跟上变化，从而保持适宜的生活条件。一些动物可以快速移动以适应快速变化的气候。植物的移动性较差，它们依靠动物、风或水传播种子等手段来转移到新的地区，但这种重新分配通常发生在原植物的一公里范围内)”提到了气候变化迅速，一些动物可以快速移动来适应快速变化的气候，但是植物移动性差，通常只能在一公里的范围移动，下文讲述了González-Varo关于“植物如何通过迁徙鸟类的帮助来跟上快速的气候变化”，所以文章提及快速变化的气候和其影响是为了给González -Varo的研究提供背景信息。故选C。47. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“González-Varo and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change through the help of migrating birds.(González-Varo和同事报告了植物如何通过迁徙鸟类的帮助来跟上快速的气候变化)”可知，González-Varo的研究表明，植物是通过迁徙鸟类的帮助来跟上快速的气候变化，故选B。48. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They analyzed an impressive data set of 949 different seed-dispersal interactions between bird and plant communities, together with data on entire fruiting times and migratory patterns of birds across Europe.(他们分析了一个令人印象深刻的数据集，包括鸟类和植物群落之间949种不同的种子传播相互作用，以及整个欧洲鸟类的整个结果期和迁徙模式的数据)”可知，González-Varo和他的同事是通过分析相关数据来进行研究的。故选A。49. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Perhaps the most striking feature of these inferred seed movements is the observation that 35 percent of plant species across European communities, which are closely related on the phylogenetic tree (进化树谱), might benefit from long-distance dispersal by the northward journey of migratory birds. This particular subset (小组) of plants tends to fruit over a long period of time, or has fruits that persist over the winter.(也许这些推测的种子运动最显著的特征是观察到，在欧洲群落中，与进化树谱密切相关的35%的植物物种可能受益于候鸟向北的长途传播。这种特殊的植物子集倾向于在很长一段时间内结果，或者在冬天保持果实)”可知，结果期较长的植物在长途传播时适应得更好。故选C。50. 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第二段中“González-Varo and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change through the help of migrating birds.(González-Varo和同事报告了植物如何通过迁徙鸟类的帮助来跟上快速的气候变化)”可知，文章主要讲述植物如何通过迁徙鸟类的帮助来跟上快速的气候变化。故选D。阅读D篇【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章告诉读者为什么丑陋的建筑值得保存。51. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I think you could say we preservationists (文物保护者) look at buildings through a different angle — an angle that can see the swan in the ugly duck, the story in the simple lines, the book behind the cover. (我想你可以说，我们保护主义者从一个不同的角度看建筑——一个可以看到丑小鸭中的天鹅，简单线条中的故事，封面后面的书的角度)”可知，保护主义者关注的是建筑的价值而不是外观。故选A。52. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unfortunately, the brise-soleil was removed in 2011, making the building look like many of the contemporary buildings in town. (不幸的是，2011年，遮阳板被拆除，使得这座建筑看起来像城里的许多当代建筑)”可知，作者拆除艾玛女王大厦的遮阳板是遗憾的事情。故选C。53. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Yes, it was a tragedy that many failed to appreciate the Victorian buildings and let many get torn down several decades ago, but those losses also tell another important story. It tells the story of the 1950s and 1960s when there was hope for a more equal society with inexpensive housing for the working class. (是的，这是一个悲剧，许多人没有欣赏维多利亚时代的建筑，让许多在几十年前被拆除，但这些损失也讲述了另一个重要的故事。它讲述了20世纪50年代和60年代的故事，当时人们希望建立一个更平等的社会，为工人阶级提供廉价的住房)”可知，旧金山很多维多利亚时代的建筑被拆除，是为了腾出土地为工人阶级建造廉价住房。故选B项。54. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Time and time again, I hear someone ask why anyone would want to keep an “ugly” building or a building that is dirty and clearly in need of work. I think you could say we preservationists (文物保护者) look at buildings through a different angle — an angle that can see the swan in the ugly duck, the story in the simple lines, the book behind the cover. (一次又一次，我听到有人问，为什么有人想要保留一个“丑陋”的建筑，或者一个很脏，显然需要维修的建筑。我想你可以说，我们保护主义者从一个不同的角度看建筑——一个可以看到丑小鸭中的天鹅，简单线条中的故事，封面后面的书的角度)”以及最后一段“Preservation is not just about keeping pretty, well-kept buildings, but about conveying parts of our history — not just the history of huge events, but the story of how everyone used to go to a certain corner market. Our history cannot be told only in buildings that meet someone’s criteria of beauty; sometimes our history is painful, but no less important. (保护不仅仅是保存漂亮、保存完好的建筑，而是要传达我们的部分历史——不仅仅是重大事件的历史，而是每个人过去如何去某个角落市场的故事。我们的历史不能只用符合某些人审美标准的建筑来讲述；我们的历史有时是痛苦的，但同样重要)”结合文章告诉读者为什么丑陋的建筑值得保存。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是强调保存丑陋建筑物的重要性。故选D。55. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Preservation is not just about keeping pretty, well-kept buildings, but about conveying parts of our history — not just the history of huge events, but the story of how everyone used to go to a certain corner market. Our history cannot be told only in buildings that meet someone’s criteria of beauty; sometimes our history is painful, but no less important. (保护不仅仅是保存漂亮、保存完好的建筑，而是要传达我们的部分历史——不仅仅是重大事件的历史，而是每个人过去如何去某个角落市场的故事。我们的历史不能只用符合某些人审美标准的建筑来讲述；我们的历史有时是痛苦的，但同样重要)”以及文章告诉读者为什么丑陋的建筑值得保存。可推知，文章选自文化论文。故选A。阅读表达【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，美国长距离游泳运动员Diana Nyad面对挫折永不放弃的人生经历。56.细节理解题。由第一段中的“However, Nyad fell ill with heart disease before she could compete in the 1968 Olympic Games and had to spend three months in bed.”（不过Nyad在1968年奥运会之前就患上了心脏病，不得不在床上呆了三个月。）”，可知Nyad患了心脏病。故答案为Falling ill with heart disease.57.主旨大意题。由第二段中的“Even though she came in tenth place, she was the first woman ever to complete the course.”（尽管她得了第十名，但她是第一个完成这场比赛的女性。），“In 1974, Nyad set a record while swimming a 22-mile race in the Bay of Naples, Italy. That same year she tried to swim back and forth across Lake Ontario, a total of 64 miles.”（1974年，Nyad在意大利那不勒斯湾游泳时创下了22英里的纪录。同年，她试图来回游过安大略湖，总共64英里。）和“In 1975, she swam around Manhattan Island, a distance of 28 miles, in a record of 7 hours and 57 minutes. Three years later she swam 102 miles from the Bahamas to Florida.”（1975年，她在曼哈顿岛游了28英里，创下了7小时57分钟的纪录。三年后，她从巴哈马群岛游到佛罗里达州102英里。），可知本段主要讲Nyad取得的成就或Nyad参加比赛的经历。故答案为The achievements /successes that Nyad achieved. Or: Nyad’s experiences of attending races.58.细节理解题。由第三段中的“In 2010, at the age of 61, Nyad announced she would swim from Cuba to Florida. In order to train, Nyad spent as many as 14 hours a day swimming in the ocean.”（2010年，61岁的Nyad宣布她将从古巴游到佛罗里达州。为了训练，Nyad每天花14个小时在海里游泳。），可知为了准备从古巴游到佛罗里达，Nyad每天花14个小时在海里游泳。故答案为She spent as many as 14 hours a day swimming in the ocean. Or: By spending as many as 14 hours a day swimming in the ocean.59.词义猜测题。由第三段中的“The swim from Cuba to Florida would last at least 60 hours and cover 103 miles. Unfortunately, bad weather forced Nyad to wait until the next year.”（从古巴到佛罗里达的游泳至少要持续60小时，全程103英里。不幸的是，恶劣的天气迫使Nyad等到第二年。）及“Nyad attempted the swim again a few months later, but she had to stop because of too many jellyfish stings (海蜇蜇伤）.”（几个月后，Nyad再次尝试游泳，但由于水母蜇伤太多，她不得不停止游泳。），和第四段中的“Nyad continues to preserve and plans to eventually make the Cuba-to-Florida swim. She has made a vow (誓言）to never stop swimming and wants other older Americans to understand that it is never too late to make one's dreams come true.”（Nyad继续保存并计划最终让古巴游到佛罗里达。她发誓永不停止游泳，并希望其他美国老年人明白，实现梦想永远不会太晚。），可知Nyad两次尝试从古巴至弗罗里达州的长距离游泳均因客观因素导致失败，虽然有挫折/困难，但她立誓不会放弃游泳，可知setbacks在此处意为“困难/挑战/障碍/问题”。故答案为Difficulties/Challenges /Barriers/Obstacles/Bars/Problems.60.开放式答题。考生可紧抓文章中心大意“美国长距离游泳运动员Diana Nyad面对挫折永不放弃，认为实现梦想永远不会太晚”，适当总结从文章中学到的道理，言之有理即可。故答案为It is never too late to make one's dreams come true. Or: We should stick to our dream, never give up and try hard to realize it whatever difficulties or setbacks we meet.One possible version: A Reading Material Exchange ActivityLast weekend, an exchange activity was held in the school hall for us Chinese students and the international students.
