Best Trucks for 2022 and 2023
2022 Rivian R1T
The 2022 Rivian R1T charges onto the market as the first mainstream electric pickup, and it makes a strong impression. The R1T is equal parts workhorse and adventure vehicle, though its electrified (通电的) powertrain needs to be further enhanced. Still, it’s the first of many electric pickups to come.
2022 Ford F-150 Lightning
The electrification of America’s best-selling pickup truck is a tall order, but it’s a job that the Ford F-150 Lightning has pulled of T wonderfully. The Lightning is powerful, efficient and capable. Apart from range limitations when towing (拖车), the F-150 Lightning is every bit the workhorse that full-size pickup truck buyers have come to expect.
2022 Jeep Gladiato
The 2022 Jeep Gladiator is an honest-to-goodness pick truck. It’s skilled at towing and pulling, it’s exceptionally capable off road, and its inner part is roomy and built to last. The trade- off is that the Gladiator isn’t as comfortable, quiet or well-equipped as others.
2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup
The all-new 2023 GMC Hummer EV is designed to offer truck buyers a chance to replace their gas-powered pickups with battery-powered ones, and it’s a role that the Hummer EV should perform convincingly. It rides, handles, and speeds up better than just about any traditional full-size pickup on the market. However, that capability doesn’t come cheap, but overall, the new Hummer gets a lot of public attention in the small but growing electric truck market.
1．Which of the following may perform best in the wild?
A．2022 Rivian R1T.
B．2022 Ford F-150 Lightning.
C．2022 Jeep Gladiator.
D．2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup.
2．What might the Hummer EV impress buyers most?
A．Its power system.
B．Its traditional role.
C．Its future market.
D．Its driving experience.
3．What do the four kinds of trucks have in common?
A．They are electric pickups.
B．They are expensive.
C．They have large inner space.
D．They have disadvantages.
【答案】1．C    2．A    3．D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2022年和2023年最佳的卡车。
1．细节理解题。根据2022 Jeep Gladiato中的“It’s skilled at towing and pulling, it’s exceptionally capable off road, and its inner part is roomy and built to last. (它擅长拖曳和牵引，它在越野方面非常有能力，它的内部很宽敞，而且建造得很耐用。)”可知，2022年吉普角斗士在野外表现最好。故选C。
2．推理判断题。根据2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup中的“The all-new 2023 GMC Hummer EV is designed to offer truck buyers a chance to replace their gas-powered pickups with battery-powered ones, and it’s a role that the Hummer EV should perform convincingly. (全新的2023 GMC悍马EV旨在为卡车买家提供一个用电池驱动的皮卡取代汽油驱动的皮卡的机会，悍马电动汽车应该发挥令人信服的作用。)”推知，悍马EV最能打动买家的是它的动力系统。故选A。
3．细节理解题。根据2022 Rivian R1T中的“The R1T is equal parts workhorse and adventure vehicle, though its electrified (通电的) powertrain needs to be further enhanced. (R1T是同等部分的主力和冒险车，尽管它的电动动力系统需要进一步加强。)”、2022 Ford F-150 Lightning中的“Apart from range limitations when towing (拖车), the F-150 Lightning is every bit the workhorse that full-size pickup truck buyers have come to expect. (除了牵引时的范围限制外，F-150闪电完全是全尺寸皮卡买家所期待的主力。)” 、2022 Jeep Gladiato中的“The trade- off is that the Gladiator isn’t as comfortable, quiet or well-equipped as others. (代价是角斗士不像其他的那样舒适，安静或装备精良。)”和2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup中的“However, that capability doesn’t come cheap, but overall, the new Hummer gets a lot of public attention in the small but growing electric truck market. (然而，这种性能并不便宜，但总体而言，新悍马在规模不大但不断增长的电动卡车市场上获得了大量公众关注。)”可知，这四种卡车共同之处在于它们都有缺点。故选D。
B
I have lived in rural America for nine years, first in Michigan, where I got my PhD; then in central Illinois and now in Indiana, where I am a professor. In a place where most people have lived the whole of their lives, I feel like a stranger. There are few things I enjoy more than complaining about my geographic isolation. I’m a vegetarian, so there’s nowhere to go for a nice dinner that isn’t 50 miles away. I’m black, so there’s nowhere to get my hair done that doesn’t involve another 50-mile drive. And the closest major airport is two hours away.
I recite these gripes to my friends. We all have grand ideas about what life would be like if only we did that, or lived there. And there’s this; I really don’t intend to change most of the things I complain about. Griping is seductive on those days when happiness requires too much energy. But it also makes me lose sight of the fact that I was born and grew up in Nebraska and have lived most of my life in one of the plains states. When I go to the coasts, I am struck by how unappealing big-city living can be.
While I may not love where I live, there are plenty of people who are proud to call this place home. At a party with colleagues, I was going on about everything I couldn’t stand in our town when I noticed that they were silent and shifting uncomfortably. That moment forced a change in me. Complaining may offer relief, but so does acceptance. There is no perfect life. By focusing on gripes, I risk missing out on precious moments of appreciation. When I get home, I stand on my balcony, look into the night sky and see the stars. I know that I have absolutely nothing to complain about.
4．What causes the author’s loneliness?
A．Dietary habits. B．Racial prejudice.
C．Educational differences. D．Identity confusion.
5．What does the underlined word “seductive” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Attractive. B．Temporary. C．Violent. D．Flexible.
6．How might the author feel about himself when the atmosphere changed at a party?
A．Humbled. B．Angry. C．Touched. D．Calm.
7．What does the author realize in the end?
A．Every day is beautiful. B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
C．Human must value lives themselves. D．Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish.
【答案】4．D    5．A    6．D    7．D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文中主要讲述了作者来到陌生的地方工作，遇到了各种不适应，开始抱怨，结果最终认识到没有完美的人生。专注于抱怨，自己可能会错过感激的珍贵时刻。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段“I have lived in rural America for nine years, first in Michigan, where I got my PhD; then in central Illinois and now in Indiana, where I am a professor. In a place where most people have lived the whole of their lives, I feel like a stranger. There are few things I enjoy more than complaining about my geographic isolation. I’m a vegetarian, so there’s nowhere to go for a nice dinner that isn’t 50 miles away. I’m black, so there’s nowhere to get my hair done that doesn’t involve another 50-mile drive. (我在美国农村生活了9年，先是在密歇根州，我在那里拿到了博士学位；然后在伊利诺伊州中部，现在在印第安纳州，我是那里的教授。在一个大多数人一生都在生活的地方，我觉得自己像个陌生人。没有什么比抱怨地理上的孤立更让我享受的了。我是个素食主义者，所以不到50英里的地方就找不到好吃的了。我是黑人，所以要做头发就得再开50英里的车)”可知，作者在美国的几个地方生活过，且是黑人。由此可知，身份混乱导致了作者的孤独。故选D。
5．词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“on those days when happiness requires too much energy”可知，在那些快乐需要太多精力的日子里，抱怨是有吸引力的，因为不需要太多精力。故画线词意思是“有吸引力的”。故选A。
6．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“At a party with colleagues, I was going on about everything I couldn’t stand in our town when I noticed that they were silent and shifting uncomfortably. That moment forced a change in me. Complaining may offer relief, but so does acceptance. There is no perfect life. By focusing on gripes, I risk missing out on precious moments of appreciation. When I get home, I stand on my balcony, look into the night sky and see the stars. I know that I have absolutely nothing to complain about.(在一次与同事的聚会上，我正滔滔不绝地谈论着镇上所有我无法忍受的事情，这时我注意到他们都沉默不语，不安地移动着身子。那一刻迫使我改变了。抱怨可能会让你放松，但接受也一样。没有完美的人生。专注于抱怨，我可能会错过感激的珍贵时刻。当我回到家，我站在阳台上，仰望夜空，看星星。我知道我完全没有什么可抱怨的)”可知，当聚会的气氛发生变化时，作者冷静了，开始思考自己的行为会带来的不良后果。故选D。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Complaining may offer relief, but so does acceptance. There is no perfect life. By focusing on gripes, I risk missing out on precious moments of appreciation. When I get home, I stand on my balcony, look into the night sky and see the stars. I know that I have absolutely nothing to complain about.(抱怨可能会让你放松，但接受也一样。没有完美的人生。专注于抱怨，我可能会错过感激的珍贵时刻。当我回到家，我站在阳台上，仰望夜空，看星星。我知道我完全没有什么可抱怨的)”推知，作者最后意识到不要因小失大。故选D。

One part of the oath (誓言) taken by physicians requires us to “remember that there is art to medicine, and that warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.” When I, along with my medical school class, recited that oath at my white coat ceremony a year ago, I admit that I was more focused on the biomedical aspects than the “art”.
Actually, medical professionals can get too easily caught up in treating to remember there is still space for healing. As doctors learn to communicate with patients beyond the restricted language of physical indicators, drug protocols and surgical interventions that may go against healing, they are reaching for new tools — poetry.
One clinical trial studied the effect of music or poetry on the pain, depression, and hope scores of 65 adult patients under cancer treatment. They found that both types of art therapy (疗法) produced similar improvements in pain and depression scores. Only poetry, however, increased hope scores. Researchers assumed that poetry can break the so-called law of silence, according to which talking about one’s perception of illness is taboo. After listening to poetry, one participant said, “I feel calmer when I hear those words. They show me that I’m not alone.”
Insights like these are already making their way into the clinic. Sarah Friebert runs a care center where children are visited by a writer who helps them create poems and stories for publication. Eric Elshtain uses poetry on the wards to teach children the power of self-expression. He’s found that many of his patients write haikus about things like sports or their favorite stuffed animal, rather than their experience in a hospital bed. Poetry, as he said, is a way to both accept the hospital encounter and escape from it.
While a poem a day won’t cure, it might help relieve. I’ve decided that I’ll learn how to meet my patients beyond the chart documents; that Fil encourage them to write their own stories; that I will heal as well as treat. In other words, I’ll honor each and every word in the oath I took last year.
4．According to the text, the author is probably________.
A．a young poet B．a clinical expert
C．a medical student D．an experienced physician
5．What insight can we gain from the clinical trial in paragraph 3?
A．Music works better in reducing depression.
B．Poetry makes people open about their illness.
C．Patients are likely to lose hope without poems.
D．Art therapy is the key to cancer treatment.
6．What can we infer about the author according to the last paragraph?
A．He will change his career path. B．He will well remember the oath.
C．He begins to take his work seriously. D．He has better understood his job.
7．Where is the text taken from?
A．A news report. B．A research paper.
C．A public speech. D．An application letter.
【答案】4．C    5．B    6．D    7．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章属于一篇演讲稿，记录了作者通过实际的工作经验和研究经历明白到诗歌对于治疗疾病的重要作用，并坚定自己的从医之路。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段中“One part of the oath(誓言)taken by physicians requires us to “remember that there is art to medicine, and that warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.”(医生宣誓的一部分要求我们“记住，医学是艺术，温暖、同情和理解可能比外科医生的刀或化学家的药更重要。”)”以及后文的“When I, along with my medical school class, recited that oath at my white coat ceremony a year ago.( 一年前，当我和医学院的同学们一起，在我的白大褂典礼上，背诵了这个誓言。)”可知，作者的身份是一名学医的学生。故选C。
5．推理判断题。根据第三段中“They found that both types of art therapy(疗法)produced similar improvements in pain and depression scores. Only poetry, however, increased hope scores.(他们发现，这两种艺术疗法对疼痛和抑郁评分的改善程度相似。然而，只有诗歌提高了希望分数。)”可知，在临床试验的研究中，诗歌对于疼痛和抑郁有着改善作用，即诗歌使人们对自己的疾病敞开心扉。故选B。
6．推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I, along with my medical school class, recited that oath at my white coat ceremony a year ago, I admit that I was more focused on the biomedical aspects than the “art”.( 一年前，当我和医学院的同学们一起在毕业典礼上宣读这一誓言时，我承认我更关注生物医学方面，而不是“艺术”。)”可知，此时的作者并没有明白诗歌朗诵在治疗方面起到的积极作用，同时根据最后一段中“While a poem a day won’t cure, it might help relieve. (虽然每天一首诗不能治愈疾病，但它可能有助于缓解压力。)”可知，此时作者通过临床的实验以及研究最终明白了诗歌是能够有助于缓解压力的，即更加了解自己的工作。故选D。
7．推理判断题。通读全文，文章讲述的是作者通过实际的工作经验和研究经历明白到诗歌对于治疗疾病的重要作用。同时根据最后一段“I’ve decided that I’ll learn how to meet my patients beyond the chart documents; that Fil encourage them to write their own stories; that I will heal as well as treat. In other words, I’ll honor each and every word in the oath I took last year.(我决定学习如何在病历文件之外与病人见面；菲尔鼓励他们写自己的故事；我既能治疗，也能治愈换句话说，我将信守我去年宣誓的每一个字。)”可知，文章结尾处作者表达了自己对工作的忠贞和坚持，既鼓励了自己也鼓励了他人。由此推断文章出自于一篇演讲稿。故选C。

B
There are days when I find it necessary to step outside my classroom and check to be sure that my name is still in the TEACHER space over my door. Sometimes I feel that I am a student in my classroom rather than the teacher.
Seated in the classroom, my sixth grade students each held a different tool in the hand. The students discussed how words are like tools-they have the ability to build or to destroy, and they discovered how the right tool used at the right time for the right job can produce great results. I watched and listened with a sense of satisfaction. They got it!
A．few days later, one of my students, Laura, had an unexpected outburst in class. She refused to work with her group. I asked her to excuse herself and to go to our next door team center. She marched from the back of the room to our classroom door-shooting me an angry look, and then proceeded to slam the door as she left for the team meeting room.
Minutes later, I stood over her. Being extremely angry about her disrespectful behavior, I was sharp in my tone and harsh with my words. When I paused for her response, she stated, “You’re using your tool against me.” I was speechless.
There are times when you are at a critical crossroads with a student and the road you choose will make all the difference. I knew at that moment the right thing to do was to kneel down next to her chair, and softly say, “You’re right, Laura. I have used my words unwisely and unkindly. Will you forgive me?” She looked me in the eye and simply said, “Yes, I forgive you, Mrs. Ekre. I’m sorry, too.”
At the end of the year, she wrote me a beautiful letter, attached to which was a small key-a tool, she said, for a language arts teacher who taught her how important words can be. It serves as my reminder of a lesson I taught as a teacher but one I really learned from my student.
4．Why does the writer feel she is a student?
A．Her students often challenge her. B．Her name is not in the TEACHER space.
C．Her students transform her ideas. D．She abuses her power as a teacher.
5．What made the writer speechless when dealing with Laura?
A．Laura’s angry look. B．Laura’s abrupt explosion.
C．Laura’s slamming the door. D．Laura’s accusation against her.
6．Which words can best describe the writer?
A．Caring but stubborn. B．Tolerant and open-minded.
C．Strict and changeable. D．Sincere and flexible.
7．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The power of words. B．The importance of teaching.
C．The value of forgiveness. D．The beauty of understanding.

【答案】4．C    5．D    6．B    7．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者作为一名老师的一次授课的经历，让作者意识到老师也可以从学生那里学到一些东西，同时也暗示了话语的力量之大。
4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It serves as my reminder of a lesson I taught as a teacher but one I really learned from my student. (它提醒我作为老师教的一课，但我真正从我的学生那里学到了一课。)”并结合作者在教学中与Laura发生的不愉快的经历可知，Laura的行为让作者的思想发生了转变，认为老师也可以从学生那学习，所以作者觉得自己是名学生。故选C项。
5．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When I paused for her response, she stated, “You’re using your tool against me.” (当我停下来等待她的回答时，她说：“你在用你的工具对付我。”)”可知，Laura指控作者用语言对付她，这让作者感到无语。故选D项
6．推理判断题，根据倒数第二段中的“I knew at that moment the right thing to do was to kneel down next to her chair, and softly say, “You’re right, Laura. I have used my words unwisely and unkindly. Will you forgive me?” She looked me in the eye and simply said, “Yes, I forgive you, Mrs. Ekre. I’m sorry, too.” (我知道那一刻正确的做法是跪在她的椅子旁边，轻声说：“你说得对，劳拉。我用词不明智和不友善。你会原谅我吗？她看着我的眼睛，简单地说：“是的，我原谅你，埃克雷太太。我也很抱歉。”)”可知，作者委身向学生Laura诚挚地道歉并征得她的原谅，可以看出作者的宽容与豁达。故选B项。
7．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“At the end of the year, she wrote me a beautiful letter, attached to which was a small key-a tool, she said, for a language arts teacher who taught her how important words can be. (年底，她给我写了一封漂亮的信，信上附着一把小钥匙——她说，这是给一位语言艺术老师的工具，老师教她单词有多重要。)”并结合全文作者对该经历的阐述可知，话语是一种工具，可能会伤人，但也能去安慰人，所以Laura在给老师的礼物中的信中说到的是话语多么的重要，由此可推知，本文主要讲述的是话语的力量。故选A项。

1．细节理解题。根据Craigmhor Mountain Retreat 部分中的“Craigmhor is a perfect base for bush walk-ing, mountain biking, fishing, and bird watching. (Craigmhor是丛林漫步、山地自行车、钓鱼和观鸟的理想基地)”可知，你如果喜欢鸟，可以去Craigmhor Moun-tain Retreat 看鸟。故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据The Stone Cotage 部分中的“the two-bedroom self-contained house is perfect for small families and couples(这套两居室的独立式房子非常适合小家庭和情侣)” 和“Private from the main house, the one-bedroom self-contained cottage has a veranda(这间有一间卧室的独立小屋与主屋分开，有一个阳台)”可知，在 The Stone Cottage 一共有三个卧室。故选C。

B
In 2018, a severe drought brought Cape Town close to “Day Zero”, when it could have become the world’s first major city to run out of water. Dam levels in South Africa’s Western Cape fell to below a fifth of capacity and the province suffered its worst water crisis in 100 years.
“The water supply was dwindling and it just wasn’t raining,” recalls Thinus Booysen, a professor at Stellenbosch University, who had created a device in 2015 designed to help homeowners cut their power usage. Seeking to reduce water waste, Booysen figured he could adapt the device to measure water usage instead of electricity use.
Soon, Booysen launched a start-up, Bridging the Internet of Things (BridgloT), to develop his idea. Called Count Droputa, the device reports water usage once a minute while many conventional devices only record data once an hour. The system uses an app in the user’s cellphone and sends short messages in real time. “Within minutes, we would be able to tell the user, ‘Something has burst, or something is leaking,’” he says.
Then Booysen discovered that a key issue was maintenance (维修), with the poorest schools using by far the most water. Leaking toilets could waste 1, 000 liters of water per day. “We found that the biggest problems are things like children not closing taps properly, but often that would be because the taps just don’t close,” Booysen explains. During the test, the invention saved one school more than three million liters of water in three months. Another reduced its water usage 55 percent in four months.
Businesses including Cape Talk radio station and Africa’s largest food company, Shoprite, became sponsors, partnering with the Western Cape Education Department to install (安装) test devices in 350 schools. They saved more than S2. 7 million and almost 550 million liters of water in 17 months. Booysen has looked at expanding to government buildings, hospitals and hotels. There are plans to roll out the device across Africa.
4．What does the underlined word “dwindling” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Beginning. B．Continuing.
C．Expanding. D．Decreasing.
5．Which words can best describe Booysen?
A．Proud but determined.
B．Cautious and friendly.
C．Creative and caring.
D．Strict but generous.
6．What do we know about Count Dropulą?
A．It works smartly to help save water. B．It was designed by Booysen in 2015.
C．It will soon be tested in 350 schools. D．It cuts power usage efficiently.
7．What will Booysen probably do next?
A．Become a member of Shoprite.
B．Further promote his new invention.
C．Stop water pollution in Cape Town.
D．Travel around Africa for better ideas.
【答案】4．D    5．C    6．A    7．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了来自南非的 Thinus Booyscn 教授发明了一款智能水表，帮助人们节约用水。
4．词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“a severe drought(严重的干旱)”和“water crisis(水危机)”等信息可知，由于严重于早缺水, 所以城市供水应该正在减少。由此可知，划线词意为“减少”，与decreasing同义。 故选D。
5．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Thinus Booysen, a professor at Stellenbosch University, who had created a device in 2015 designed to help homeowners cut their power usage. Seeking to reduce water waste, Booysen figured he could adapt the device to measure water usage instead of electricity use.(Stellenbosch大学教授Thinus Booysen于2015年发明了一种设备，旨在帮助房主减少用电。为了减少水的浪费，Booysen认为他可以调整设备来测量用水量，而不是用电量)”可知，Booysen为了帮助人们节约用电，在2015年设计了一款设备，在遭遇水危机时，他将这一设备加以改进使其能够监测用水情况。由此推知，他是一个不但关心民生而且善于创新的人。故选C。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Called Count Droputa, the device reports water usage once a minute while many conventional devices only record data once an hour. The system uses an app in the user’s cellphone and sends short messages in real time. “Within minutes, we would be able to tell the user, ‘Something has burst, or something is leaking,’” he says.(该设备名为Count Droputa，每分钟报告一次用水量，而许多传统设备每小时只记录一次数据。该系统使用用户手机中的应用程序，实时发送短信。他说：“几分钟内，我们就能告诉用户，‘有东西爆裂了，或者有东西泄漏了。’”)”可知，CountDropula 这种设备是智能的，且能够帮助用户节约用水。故选A。
7．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Booysen has looked at expanding togovernment buildings, hospitals and hotels. There are plans to roll out the device across Africa(Booysen已经考虑扩建政府大楼、医院和酒店。有计划在非洲各地推广该设备)”可知，Booysen想要进一步推广他的发明。故选B。

Best Trucks for 2022 and 2023
2022 Rivian R1T
The 2022 Rivian R1T charges onto the market as the first mainstream electric pickup, and it makes a strong impression. The R1T is equal parts workhorse and adventure vehicle, though its electrified (通电的) powertrain needs to be further enhanced. Still, it’s the first of many electric pickups to come.
2022 Ford F-150 Lightning
The electrification of America’s best-selling pickup truck is a tall order, but it’s a job that the Ford F-150 Lightning has pulled of T wonderfully. The Lightning is powerful, efficient and capable. Apart from range limitations when towing (拖车), the F-150 Lightning is every bit the workhorse that full-size pickup truck buyers have come to expect.
2022 Jeep Gladiato
The 2022 Jeep Gladiator is an honest-to-goodness pick truck. It’s skilled at towing and pulling, it’s exceptionally capable off road, and its inner part is roomy and built to last. The trade- off is that the Gladiator isn’t as comfortable, quiet or well-equipped as others.
2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup
The all-new 2023 GMC Hummer EV is designed to offer truck buyers a chance to replace their gas-powered pickups with battery-powered ones, and it’s a role that the Hummer EV should perform convincingly. It rides, handles, and speeds up better than just about any traditional full-size pickup on the market. However, that capability doesn’t come cheap, but overall, the new Hummer gets a lot of public attention in the small but growing electric truck market.
1．Which of the following may perform best in the wild?
A．2022 Rivian R1T.
B．2022 Ford F-150 Lightning.
C．2022 Jeep Gladiator.
D．2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup.
2．What might the Hummer EV impress buyers most?
A．Its power system.
B．Its traditional role.
C．Its future market.
D．Its driving experience.
3．What do the four kinds of trucks have in common?
A．They are electric pickups.
B．They are expensive.
C．They have large inner space.
D．They have disadvantages.
【答案】1．C    2．A    3．D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2022年和2023年最佳的卡车。
1．细节理解题。根据2022 Jeep Gladiato中的“It’s skilled at towing and pulling, it’s exceptionally capable off road, and its inner part is roomy and built to last. (它擅长拖曳和牵引，它在越野方面非常有能力，它的内部很宽敞，而且建造得很耐用。)”可知，2022年吉普角斗士在野外表现最好。故选C。
2．推理判断题。根据2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup中的“The all-new 2023 GMC Hummer EV is designed to offer truck buyers a chance to replace their gas-powered pickups with battery-powered ones, and it’s a role that the Hummer EV should perform convincingly. (全新的2023 GMC悍马EV旨在为卡车买家提供一个用电池驱动的皮卡取代汽油驱动的皮卡的机会，悍马电动汽车应该发挥令人信服的作用。)”推知，悍马EV最能打动买家的是它的动力系统。故选A。
3．细节理解题。根据2022 Rivian R1T中的“The R1T is equal parts workhorse and adventure vehicle, though its electrified (通电的) powertrain needs to be further enhanced. (R1T是同等部分的主力和冒险车，尽管它的电动动力系统需要进一步加强。)”、2022 Ford F-150 Lightning中的“Apart from range limitations when towing (拖车), the F-150 Lightning is every bit the workhorse that full-size pickup truck buyers have come to expect. (除了牵引时的范围限制外，F-150闪电完全是全尺寸皮卡买家所期待的主力。)” 、2022 Jeep Gladiato中的“The trade- off is that the Gladiator isn’t as comfortable, quiet or well-equipped as others. (代价是角斗士不像其他的那样舒适，安静或装备精良。)”和2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup中的“However, that capability doesn’t come cheap, but overall, the new Hummer gets a lot of public attention in the small but growing electric truck market. (然而，这种性能并不便宜，但总体而言，新悍马在规模不大但不断增长的电动卡车市场上获得了大量公众关注。)”可知，这四种卡车共同之处在于它们都有缺点。故选D。

In honor of National Park Week, here’s a list of some of the striking features that you can find throughout America.
Petrified Forest National Park
Petrified Forest National Park is not necessarily a dangerous place…as long as you don’t steal the stones. The fossils (化石) are beautiful and somewhat look like precious stones, which makes them an attractive souvenir. But as with all National Park lands, visitors aren’t allowed to take anything from the site, including rocks, plants and animals. And for good reason, removing any of these items can harm the local ecosystem or degrade the geological features. Legend has it that taking a rock can bring about misfortune. Due to this reason, the park receives letters with returned rocks from people wishing for forgiveness for fossil theft.
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park was the first-ever national park, established in 1872. With scenic mountains and rivers and an abundance of wildlife, Yellowstone is home to more than 10,000 hydrothermal features. These include hot springs, mudpots, and over 500 geysers formed from the 2.1 million-year-old super volcano hiding below Yellowstone’s surface. Visitors from all over the world flock to Yellowstone National Park for its geysers.
Mammoth Cave National Park
With tunnels stretching over 420 miles, Mammoth Cave is the world’s largest cave system. Nearly 10 million years ago, water began to swirl its way through the limestone bed, eventually shaping the cave’s massive tunnels. Inside the cave are the classic stalactites and stalagmites, but you’ll also find other unique formations.
Devil’s Tower National Monument
The origins of this unique rock formation is that Devil’s Tower once constituted the inside of a volcano. Eventually, the softer outside rock of the eroded, leaving only the harder igneous rock behind. Among the local peoples, Devil’s Tower is highly sacred. Each community passes down legends of its creation, which typically include someone escaping a big bear and finding refuge atop the rock.
1．Why must the stones be kept in Petrified Forest National Park?
A．The park is a dangerous place.
B．They are valueless stones in the park.
C．They can cause ecological and geological effects.
D．They will definitely bring bad luck according to the legend.
2．What is special in Yellowstone National Park?
A．Amazing wildlife.
B．Picturesque scenery.
C．Old history.
D．Hydrothermal wonders.
3．Which park can you visit if you want to explore the legends of the creation?
A．Petrified Forest National Park.
B．Yellowstone National Park.
C．Mammoth Cave National Park.
D．Devil’s Tower National Monument.
【答案】1．C    2．D    3．D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了美国的一些有显著特征的国家公园。
1．细节理解题。根据Petrified Forest National Park下面的“And for good reason, removing any of these items can harm the local ecosystem or degrade the geological features. (而且有充分的理由，拿走这些东西中的任何一个都会损害当地的生态系统或破坏地质特征。)”可知，石头必须留在公园而不能带走的原因是这种行为会造成生态和地质影响。故选C。
2．细节理解题。根据Yellowstone National Park下面的“With scenic mountains and rivers and an abundance of wildlife, Yellowstone is home to more than 10,000 hydrothermal features. (黄石公园有风景优美的山川和丰富的野生动物，还拥有一万多处热液地貌。)”可知，黄石公园的特别之处在于它的热液地貌。故选D。
3．细节理解题。根据Devil’s Tower National Monument下面的“Each community passes down legends of its creation, which typically include someone escaping a big bear and finding refuge atop the rock. (每个社区都流传着其形成的传说，其中通常包括有人逃离一只大熊，在岩石上寻找避难所。)”可知，魔鬼塔有许多传说，所以这里是探索其传说的不错选择。故选D。
B
As a writer and game designer, I’ve spent most of the past 30 years trying to do various types of creative work while sitting or standing at a computer keyboard. The power of those devices has grown exponentially, enabling me with a click or a keystroke to create wonders that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.
And yet I’ve been increasingly confused to realize that the productivity such as words written, problems solved, hasn’t increased one bit with the improvement of my tools.
For a long time I tried to talk myself out of this. I figured that if my computer time didn’t work efficiently, it was because I didn’t have the right software, or wasn’t using it right. I created keyboard shortcuts. I downloaded apps to track time I spent using other apps. Nothing changed the basic observed fact: I was still trapped in the state of low productivity.
For myself, I’ve found that I spend the vast majority of my working computer time staring at the screen in a state of mind that ranges from “passive” to “somewhat productive, ” and in which a few minutes can stretch unnoticed into a quarter-hour, or a couple of hours. During this process, I cheat myself into believing that because I am at my desk, at my computer, I am therefore working.
It’s so easy to move words and sentences around in Word or Scrivener or Final Draft that it feels like writing, even if what I’m actually doing would rate only a 2 on the scale in which 10 is “getting an idea and writing it down. ” That is why I now keep my project notes and journals in actual notebooks. I’ve even switched to paper for my “to-do lists,” and cross off action items literally. It’s simpler and I get more done this way.
4．What do the underlined words “exponentially” mean in paragraph 1?
A．Rapidly
B．Silently
C．Unexpectedly
D．Blindly
5．What does the author want to show in paragraph 3?
A．He avoided facing the reality of his work habits.
B．He usually chooses the simplest way to accomplish tasks.
C．He is able to learn new skills and computer programs quickly.
D．He was proud of his ability to master the use of high-tech tools.
6．What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A．The author can focus on finishing the task at his computer.
B．The author may reduce working efficiency with longer screen time.
C．The author can be extremely productive when working at computer.
D．The author can work longer time with high efficiency at his computer.
7．What is the author’s current attitude towards writing down an idea by computer?
A．Supportive
B．Indifferent
C．Unfavorable
D．Objective
【答案】4．A    5．A    6．B    7．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们电脑并不能提升效率，相反把东西记在纸质笔记本上更简单有效。
4．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The power of those devices has grown exponentially, enabling me with a click or a keystroke to create wonders that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.(这些设备的功能exponentially增长，使我能够通过点击或敲击键盘来创造奇迹，这在几年前是无法想象的)”中“enabling me with a click or a keystroke to create wonders that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago”可知，这些设备现在的能力的能力是以前无法想象的，由此推知，划线词是指“快速地，迅速地”，与rapidly同义。故选A项。
5．推理判断题。根据第三段中“For a long time I tried to talk myself out of this. I figured that if my computer time didn’t work efficiently, it was because I didn’t have the right software, or wasn’t using it right. I created keyboard shortcuts. I downloaded apps to track time I spent using other apps.(在很长一段时间里，我试图说服自己不要这样想。我想，如果我使用电脑的时间不高效，那是因为我没有使用正确的软件，或者没有正确地使用它。我创建了快捷键。我下载了一些应用程序来记录我使用其他应用程序的时间)”可推知，作者在第三段中表明他最初不愿意接受自己工作效率低的现实，不愿意承认工作习惯有问题的现实。故选A项。
6．推理判断题。根据第四段中“For myself, I’ve found that I spend the vast majority of my working computer time staring at the screen in a state of mind that ranges from “passive” to “somewhat productive, ” and in which a few minutes can stretch unnoticed into a quarter-hour, or a couple of hours. During this process, I cheat myself into believing that because I am at my desk, at my computer, I am therefore working.(就我自己而言，我发现我在电脑工作的大部分时间里都在“被动”到“有点高效”的状态下盯着屏幕，而在这种状态下，几分钟可能会不知不觉地延长到一刻钟或几个小时。在这个过程中，我欺骗自己，让自己相信，因为我在我的办公桌前，在我的电脑前，所以我是在工作)”可推知，作者在电脑前并不一定是在工作，长时间看屏幕还可能会降低工作效率。故选B项。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That is why I now keep my project notes and journals in actual notebooks. I’ve even switched to paper for my ‘to-do lists,’ and cross off action items literally. It’s simpler and I get more done this way.(这就是为什么我现在把我的项目笔记和日记保存在真正的笔记本上。我甚至把我的“任务清单”换成了纸，然后逐字划掉。这样更简单，我能完成更多的工作。)”可知，作者现在把东西都写在真正的纸质笔记本上，认为这样更简单有效，说明他不喜欢“用电脑记录想法”。故选C项。

Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the South Downs national park. The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past —complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard, Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester (2 miles) and Haslemere (7 miles). The museum is on Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money?
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus, it’s a valuable cause worth supporting. Adults ￡14, children 5-17 and students ￡6.50, under-4s free, family ￡38 (two adults and two children) or ￡25 (one adult and three children).
Opening hours
Daily 10am-5pm (last entry 4pm).
1．What can visitors do in Weald & Downland Living Museum?
A．Take a shower in the hall.
B．Stay overnight at a cottage.
C．Learn construction techniques.
D．Explore rural life centuries ago.
2．How much would a couple with their 5-year-old twin sons pay for admission?
A．￡25. B．￡34.5. C．￡38. D．￡41.
3．What do we know about Weald & Downland Living Museum?
A．It charges parking fees.
B．It has varied opening hours.
C．It is inconveniently located for bus riders.
D．It offers the disabled thoughtful service.

Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage.
Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017. Vengurla is known for its beautiful beaches and seafood, but the climate crisis has made fishing for a living unsustainable, so people are trying to find other sources of income. They came up with the idea of running mangrove safaris (观光游) for tourists in Vengurla’s Mandavi River.
The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.
Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival. “It was an instant hit. This boosted the confidence to include these fritters in our restaurant menu,” says Hule.
Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river. “The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?” says Hule.
4．Which of the following can best describe the example of Shweta Hule?
A．Do as the Romans do.
B．Strike while the iron is hot.
C．Kill two birds with one stone.
D．Bite off more than you can chew.
5．What does Swamini offer to visitors?
A．Eco-tours and accommodation.
B．Fishing guide service.
C．Vegetable growing techniques.
D．Hands-on cooking classes.
6．Why were Hule’s fritters well-received?
A．They were less expensive.
B．They were traditional.
C．They had their own features.
D．They got strongly promoted.
7．How did Hule feel about tourists’ obtaining her food recipe?
A．Lost. B．Proud. C．Worried. D．Curious.
【答案】4．C    5．A    6．C    7．B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Shweta Hule和几位妇女创办Swamini为游客提供生态旅游和有当地特色的食宿的故事。他们的举动不仅帮助当地人增加了收入，还在一定程度上保护了红树林。
4．推理判断题。根据第一段的“bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.(弯腰从河里拣起野生的“杂草”，扔进一个碗里。这些植物将被制成炸果饼，供应给在胡勒在印度沿海城镇文古拉经营的民旅馆附属小餐馆)”和第二段“Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage.(野生可食用植物在这里的厨房里很常见。Hule的杂草多汁，这种草生长在红树林中。收割一些这种植物有助于保护红树林，这是一种全球濒危的耐盐树木生态系统，可以阻止海岸侵蚀并吸收风暴破坏)”可知，这些杂草可以被制成食物，而且除掉它们有助于保护红树林，由此推知，Shweta Hule的例子可以说是一举两得。故选C。
5．细节理解题。根据第三段的“Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017.(Hule是Swamini的负责人，这是一个自助组织，由文古拉一个渔业社区的九名妇女成立，她们于2017年创办了Mandavi生态旅游)”和第四段“The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.(野生动物园为游客提供了一个独特的长达一小时的红树林之旅。食物也成为了一个关键的吸引力：当地的辛辣椰子咖喱，配以本土或野生蔬菜。游客们被鼓励去捕螃蟹，他们捕获的东西被煮熟后端上桌)”可知， Swamini给游客提供生态旅游和食宿。故选A。
6．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival.(Hule最近才发现这种杂草是可以食用的，当时她遇到了来自另一个沿海城市的游客。她研究了这些叶子，了解到这种咸味植物富含维生素。她用鹰嘴豆粉做了自己版本的炸果饼，并在野菜节上展出)”可知，Hule的炸果饼受欢迎是因为它们有当地的特色。故选C。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段的““The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?” says Hule.(Hule说：“游客们享用我们的饭菜后的满足感才是真正的货币。我们有来自伦敦的客人，他们对我们的食物非常满意，所以他们把食谱记了下来。这些人帮助我们的业务发展。我们还想要什么？”。)”推知，Hule对游客想得到他们的食谱感到非常自豪。故选B。

B
A few years ago, I went shopping with a friend for a new motorcycle. He didn’t have a particular brand or model in mind except two standards. A big engine—since too much horsepower is never enough—and since he’s tall, a relatively relaxed riding position.
I suggested a Hayabusa, which met his standards or an XS-14R. Both were within his budget, especially the Hayabusa since the dealer was offering a $2,500 discount on a previous year’s model.
He rode them both and loved them both. But then he became very interested in a ZX-6R KRT—a great motorcycle, sure, but with a much smaller motor and a riding position that made him look like a contorted mantis (变形的螳螂). It seemed like a strange choice.
I felt puzzled until it hit me. The purchase of any motorcycle 750cc and under came with a free helmet (头盔). Since my friend also wanted a new helmet, getting one for free was extremely attractive. After all, the math didn’t work. We eventually negotiated $3,200 off the price of the Hayabusa. The free helmet was only worth $250. However, my friend’s final decision was ZX-6R KRT with a free helmet.
A 2017 study published in Marketing Science found that people tend to significantly overvalue “free”. When faced with a choice of selecting one of several available products, people will choose the option with the highest cost-benefit difference; however, decisions about free (zero-price) products differ, because people do not simply take away costs from benefits but instead, consider the benefits associated with free products to be higher.
Two months later, my friend traded in his 6R for a 14R. But I don’t think badly of him. We’ve all been blinded by the power of “free”. So whenever something is free, stop and consider the intention, and see “free” as a reason to do even more math.
4．What kind of motorcycle did the author’s friend intend to buy?
A．A good second-hand one. B．A previous year’s Hayabusa.
C．A highly fashionable XS-14R. D．A powerful and comfortable one.
5．What aspect of the ZX-6R KRT attracted the author’s friend most?
A．Its price. B．The motorcycle’s 750cc engine.
C．Its free gift. D．The motorcycle’s classical design.
6．Why does the author mention the 2017 study?
A．To offer his friend a better purchase plan.
B．To stress the importance of negotiating skills.
C．To tell readers how to get more zero-price products.
D．To explain why his friend made such an unwise choice.
7．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．It’s time to stop doing the math. B．“Free” is sometimes the worst deal.
C．Getting something for free is so fun. D．We all love to buy something on sale.
【答案】4．D    5．C    6．D    7．B
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述了一个有趣的现象，阐述了人们在面对免费产品时心理的变化，往往会高估免费产品的价值并被其诱导而做出不经济的决策，同时本文也提醒读者，在面临购买决策时，要全面考虑产品的成本和收益，并留意背后的意图，避免受到免费赠品的影响而做出错误的决定。
4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“He didn’t have a particular brand or model in mind except two standards. A big engine—since too much horsepower is never enough—and since he’s tall, a relatively relaxed riding position. (他心中没有特定的品牌或型号，除了两个标准条件：一是需要有强大的引擎——因为马力越多越好，二是需要一个相对放松的骑乘姿势——因为他个子很高。)”可知，作者朋友想买一辆动力强且舒适的摩托车，故选D项。
5．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Since my friend also wanted a new helmet, getting one for free was extremely attractive. (由于我的朋友也想要一个新的头盔，免费买一个是非常有吸引力的。)”及“However, my friend’s final decision was ZX-6R KRT with a free helmet. (然而，我朋友的最终决定是带有免费头盔的 ZX-6R KRT)”可知，ZX-6R KRT最吸引作者朋友的是免费的头盔。故选C项。
6．推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“When faced with a choice of selecting one of several available products, people will choose the option with the highest cost-benefit difference; however, decisions about free (zero-price) products differ, because people do not simply take away costs from benefits but instead, consider the benefits associated with free products to be higher. (当面临选择几种可用产品之一的选择时，人们会选择成本效益差异最大的选项；然而，关于免费（零价格）产品的决定有所不同，因为人们不会简单地从收益中扣除成本，而是认为与免费产品相关的收益更高。)可知，作者引用该研究是为了解释人们在面对免费产品时会怎样做出决策，以及为什么会产生对免费产品价值的高估，进而揭示出作者的朋友做出不明智的决定背后的心理因素。故选D项。
7．主旨大意题。主要讲述了一个有趣的现象，阐述了人们在面对免费产品时心理的变化，往往会高估免费产品的价值并被其诱导而做出不经济的决策，同时本文也提醒读者，在面临购买决策时，要全面考虑产品的成本和收益，并留意背后的意图，避免受到免费赠品的影响而做出错误的决定。所以短文主要关于““免费”有时是最糟糕的交易”。故选B项。
