On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This was something Musk thought about a lot- how he might make a difference to the food industry—but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet broken the code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope (坡) and fell over, breaking his neck. The left side of his body was paralyzed.
Musk eventually made a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put “learning gardens” in public schools across America; attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech, data-driven, year-round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.
Aimed at reaching low- income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives. “We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,” says Musk. “People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to supplement their budget, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will be distributed through schools that Musk's non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “I grew up in the projects when I was young, in what we now call food deserts,” says EVE, one of the many celebrities who have teamed up with the organization to encourage people to pick up a free garden. “What I love about this is that it's not difficult. We are all able to grow something.”
24．What inspired Musk to be devoted to food industry?
A．An accident. B．Jamie Oliver’s speech.
C．The pandemic. D．The farm-to-table movement.
25．What can we learn about the Million Gardens Movement?
A．It has mainly attracted young generations. B．It has just accomplished its target.
C．It may be stimulated by a lack of food security. D．It increases economic burdens for the poor.
26．Which of the following best describes Musk?
A．Charitable. B．Honest. C．Flexible. D．Strict.
27．Why is EVE taken as an example?
A．To demonstrate the program to be non-profit. B．To share his experience in a food desert.
C．To encourage people to start a free garden. D．To clarify the reason why he loves a garden.
As an intense heat wave sweeps through China, residents are seeking relief in air raid shelters and swimming pools to stay cool, and dozens of cities, including Shanghai, Chongqing and Hangzhou, have issued their highest-level red alert warnings. Shanghai has issued three red alerts this year, with the temperature hitting 40.9 Celsius on July 13, matching the record set in 2017 since 1873. The fact that Shanghai has experienced only 16 days of 40°C-plus temperatures since the city began keeping records in 1873 should give us an idea about the seriousness of the situation.
Medical experts say extreme heat could cause nausea (恶心), fatigue, sunstroke and even death, with senior citizens and people with long-term illnesses particularly vulnerable to heat waves.
Extreme heat events, which began a month ago, have affected the lives of more than 900 million people in China. Between June 1 and July 12, the average number of days with temperatures above 35°Cwas 5.3, up 2.4 days over normal years, breaking the national record set in 1961, according to the National Climate Center.
Parts of Europe are also in the grip of heat waves and experiencing extreme weather events after the western part of North America faced extreme heat waves last year. In response to the exceptionally high temperatures, the United Kingdom has declared a national emergency and issued the highest-level red alert warning for Monday and Tuesday for the first time. More alarmingly, the average global temperature in June this year was 0.4°C higher than normal years and the highest since 1979, with temperatures in countries such as Spain, France and Italy exceeding 40°C．
Unfortunately, extreme heat, which is directly related to climate change, will become more frequent and intense in the next 30 years, setting new records for high temperatures. As global warming intensifies, losses and devastation will increase, forcing natural and human systems to raise their adaptation limits.
28．What can we know about the heat waves this year?
A．It may cause more harm to the old and people with long-term illnesses.
B．The number of days above 35°Cin June breaks the national record.
C．Shanghai has experienced a higher temperature than that in 2017.
D．The whole Europe as well as America are suffering from the heat waves.
29．How does the author develop the text?
A．By analyzing and concluding. B．By explaining and contrasting.
C．By giving examples and quoting. D．By giving figures and comparing.
30．According to the writer, what is the trend of extreme heat?
A．Becoming more serious. B．Remaining stable.
C．Staying unpredictable. D．Getting controllable.
31．What is the text mainly about?
A．The solutions to the climate change. B．The economic losses from heat waves.
C．The increase of severe heat waves. D．The destructive effect of global warming.
In the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them.
Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him as similar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to scare off would-be predators.
To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer analysis revealed that bees’ and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar.
Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes and, after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats.
During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter, they videoed the owls. After analysis, the results were unequivocal. When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.
Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator. They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized.
32．What was Dr. Russo’s assumption of the study?
A．Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies.
B．The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees.
C．Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom.
D．Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry.
33．How did Dr. Russo test his idea?
A．By consulting experts in this field. B．By referring to other scholars’ analysis.
C．By collecting computer data. D．By conducting series of scientific experiments.
34．What does the underlined word “unequivocal” in paragraph 5 possibly mean?
A．Disappointing. B．Controversial. C．Definite. D．Uncertain.
35．What is a suitable title for the text?
A．A New Trick to Scare Away Owls B．Animal Mimicry: Buzz off
C．A Self-protection Behavior among Animals D．Bats: No More Victim to Owls
五、七选五
As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices.____36____But others may not have crossed your mind. “A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist Dr. Beth Abramson.
●Get eight hours of sleep.
“When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we're sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels.____37____
●____38____
Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.”
●Avoid polluted air.
Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation.____39____Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor.
●Eat breakfast.
A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who partook in a substantial morning meal. According to Abramson, you need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.____40____If you're eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices.
A．Be social and outgoing.
B．Engage in voluntary work.
C．There are physiological effects of this condition on the body.
D．These factors can all have an impact on cardiovascular (心血管的) health.
E．Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit.
F．Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known.
G．Even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people with other health risks.

It____42____to me that I might not have loved life so if I hadn’t been blind. I don’t mean I would prefer to go without eyes. I____43____mean the loss of them made me more appreciate what I had.
Life asks a continuous series of____44____to reality. The hardest lesson was to____45____myself. When I say belief in myself, I am not only talking about the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. But I mean something____46____than that: an assurance that I am,____47____ imperfections, a real and positive person. It took me years to discover and____48____this assurance.
Once a man gave me a baseball. I thought he was kidding me. I was____49____and refused.

The words_____51_____in my head. By rolling the ball, I could listen where it went. This inspired me to achieve a goal I had thought_____52_____: playing baseball.

九、读后续写
67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Jordi! Wake up!” Father’s voice called from the hallway, and I sat up quickly. The day finally came! The day that I would be a castellar—a tower builder. Mama had breakfast ready. “Are you prepared for your moment of fame?” Papa asked in excitement. My throat was suddenly very dry, and the bread got stuck as I swallowed. Taking a big swig of juice, I put on a smile. “I'm ready” I would do well. I wanted to make him proud.
Here in the eastern part of Spain, casteller groups were very popular. My city hosted the competition this year. Before that, I’d watched my parents compete. But never before had I been part of the tower. It was so high. And it sometimes fell. I was hesitant to be up there. But for the past year, I had been practicing the climb. I was twelve, and I must not be a coward (胆小鬼). So for the first time in a competition, I would help build the tower!
In town, I saw that the center was packed with people and casteller teams from all over the country. Hands sweating, I was waiting for our turn to compete. Mom came and patted me on the shoulder. “Have focus. Have faith.” I nodded to show that I understood and would do my best to follow the suggestions.
Soon, too soon, it was our turn.
My father and three of the strongest men stood in a circle facing each other as they held tightly to each other’s arms. Four more strong men stepped behind, each wrapping his arms around the chest of a man and giving him a bear hug. Then fifty more men and women crowded behind and began pushing on their backs to keep them tightly together.
Our base was solid. Four smaller men climbed onto the backs of the base group and stood on their shoulders. They then grabbed onto each other’s arms and held firmly, creating a strong second tier (层). Another group of men would form the third tier. Then, a group of women, including Mom, started climbing and began to form the fourth tier. Our tower was growing taller and taller.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

Paragraph 1: Then suddenly it was kids’ turn to make the last tier.

2．A
【原文】W: Wow! I do like this campus: the green lawns, and the old buildings with tall columns. It’s really beautiful.
M: It sure is. The architecture of these buildings is in the Greek style. It was popular in the eighteenth century here.
3．B
【原文】M: Hello, can you ask someone to send some new towels to my room, please? By the way, I’d like to make a dinner reservation at 7:00 tonight.

4．B
【原文】M: Do you still have that book I lent you, Mary?

5．C
【原文】W: Please give me a second. I’ll see whether Dr. Banks is available.

M: I’ve been waiting since 8:20 and it’s been half an hour.
6．B 7．C
【原文】W: We care about quality here, not just about doing enough work to get by. When you work at Trader Joe’s, you’re more than an employee. You’re like family!
M: In my family, we usually argue over things like whose turn it is to take out the trash. We also complain a lot when there’s no dessert. Is working here like that?
W: OK... Let me give you a better idea. Working here is like being in a family in some ways. You know how children get punished when they don’t clean their rooms, or when they go out with friends before they finish their homework?
M: Yes, I can relate to that.
W: Well, that’s more like how it is to work at Trader Joe’s. The employees are the children ... and I’m the mother.
M: Are you the only parent at this store? I think I’d rather be adopted by someone else...
8．A 9．C 10．C
【原文】M: I was reading about superfoods today. They are fruits, vegetables and other foods that are supposed to be extra healthy.
W: That’s interesting. Which foods are they? I suppose rice is high on the list. We certainly eat a lot of that here in China.
M: No, it isn’t. Nor are noodles. But yogurt, fish and tomatoes are there.
W: Oh well, I suppose we eat plenty of them. Why are these foods so healthy?
M: It’s said that they can reduce the risks of high blood pressure, heart disease and certain cancers.
W: Maybe I will start including them in our meals. Are there any foods on the list that we don’t have yet?
M: Nuts and greens are something we already eat plenty of. And although our type of rice—the white kind—isn’t on the list, brown rice is.
W: Then I think we will switch to that to keep the family healthy. Superfoods sound like a very tasty way to keep fit.
11．C 12．A 13．B
【原文】M: Can you tell me what happened this morning, Mrs Jones?
W: Well, 2 hours ago, that was around 10:00 in the morning when I was doing the dishes. Then, soon after that, I was polishing the table. I thought I heard a noise, but I was really concentrating on the polishing, so I didn’t take much notice.
M: What happened next?
W: I was cleaning the living room, around 10:15, when I heard someone upstairs. It sounded like they were looking for something in my cupboard. About two minutes later, someone ran down the stairs. I ran to the window. A man was getting into a car. Then he was driving away.
M: What time was this, Mrs Jones?
W: 10:20. Then I called the police.
14．B 15．C 16．A 17．A
【原文】M: I can’t believe this. I have been on the phone with my bank all day and they still haven’t fixed my problem.
W: Is it a credit card problem?
M: Yes. My credit card information was stolen. When I got my bill in the mail, I saw there were many unfamiliar purchases on it.
W: That’s terrible. Did they take a lot of money?
M: Yes, and I am very upset because the bank is not helping me quickly. I have talked to many different managers already.
W: Doesn’t the bank’s owner need to make the decision to give you your money back?
M: No. I just have to prove that these purchases were not made by me.
W: I hope you can fix this problem soon. Something similar happened to my husband’s mother recently. She was tricked into giving away some important information over the phone.
M: I think the person who stole my information got it from the Internet. I bought a collection of movies recently. I won’t be doing that again unless the website is sure to be safe. It’s honestly my fault for being careless.
W: You can never be too careful. Well, your problem is inspiring me to look into protecting my account better. I think I can pay my bank more to help me.

Now we have a program for those who love acting. This program gives young actors the experience of developing complex characters and performing a full-length production while receiving top-level training. Each actor will receive a role and will be given time to shine on the stage at the end of the week. Children aged between 13 and 18 can take part in the program.
The play is written by Lisa Nanni-Messegee. Todd Messegee will be the director. On the first Monday we meet, actors act for some time to find a suitable role in the play. By the end of the day, they begin developing characters and learning about the play. This continues through mid-week, along with focus on specialty skills that may be needed in the production. On these days, they’ll receive some training on acting. By Thursday, the actors are running the show off-book and memorizing their material. By Friday, the whole group is performing on stage, in a recorded performance. A digital copy of the performance will be shared with actors after the program is complete. This is a very exciting challenge for any actor! It’ll begin on July 26th and end on 30th. Practicing time is from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm every day. Only ten will be admitted. If you’re interested, contact us early. Due to safety restrictions, space is extremely limited in each age group. Registering early is recommended. Register by June 5th for $10 off.

This made Musk think a lot—how he might make a difference to the food industry(这位互联网创业天才和餐馆老板刚刚参加完Jackson Hole的一个会议抵达Jackson Hole，会上主厨Jamie Oliver谈到了健康饮食的好处。这让马斯克思考了很多——他如何能对食品行业作出改变)”可知，Musk在参加完Jamie Oliver的演讲之后开始考虑对食品行业作出改变，即受到了这个演讲的启发。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段的“Aimed at reaching low- income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives. (百万花园运动旨在帮助低收入家庭，受到疫情的启发，因为许多人生活的首要问题是希望更多地与自然联系，以及粮食不安全)”可知，Million Gardens Movement可能是由于缺乏粮食安全而引起的。故选C。

29．推理判断题。根据第一段“Shanghai has issued three red alerts this year, with the temperature hitting 40.9 Celsius on July 13, matching the record set in 2017 since 1873. The fact that Shanghai has experienced only 16 days of 40°C-plus temperatures since the city began keeping records in 1873 should give us an idea about the seriousness of the situation.(上海今年发布了三次红色预警，7月13日气温达到40.9摄氏度，追平了自1873年以来2017年创下的纪录。上海自1873年开始记录气温以来，只有16天气温超过40摄氏度，这一事实应该让我们了解到情况的严重性)”以及第三段“Extreme heat events, which began a month ago, have affected the lives of more than 900 million people in China. Between June 1 and July 12, the average number of days with temperatures above 35°Cwas 5.3, up 2.4 days over normal years, breaking the national record set in 1961, according to the National Climate Center.(一个月前开始的极端高温天气已经影响了中国9亿多人的生活。根据国家气候中心的数据，6月1日至7月12日期间，平均气温在35℃以上的天数为5.3天，比正常年份增加2.4天，打破了1961年创下的全国纪录)”可推知，作者通过给出数字和比较展开文章。故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Unfortunately, extreme heat, which is directly related to climate change, will become more frequent and intense in the next 30 years, setting new records for high temperatures.(不幸的是，与气候变化直接相关的极端高温将在未来30年变得更加频繁和强烈，创造新的高温记录)”可知，根据作者的观点，极端高温的趋势会变得越来越严重。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“As an intense heat wave sweeps through China, residents are seeking relief in air raid shelters and swimming pools to stay cool, and dozens of cities, including Shanghai, Chongqing and Hangzhou, have issued their highest-level red alert warnings.(随着强烈的高温席卷中国，居民们纷纷到防空洞和游泳池寻求降温，包括上海、重庆和杭州在内的数十个城市发布了最高级别的红色预警)”结合文章主要说明了高温天气的危害以及高温天气的增加情况。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是严重高温的增加。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Danilo Russo认为蝙蝠模仿愤怒的蜜蜂的声音来吓走敌人，为了验证这一想法，他进行了一系列实验。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them. (他认为，有些蝙蝠模仿愤怒的蜜蜂是为了吓跑可能会吃掉它们的猫头鹰)”可知，Russo博士对这项研究的假设是蝙蝠模仿愤怒的蜜蜂的声音来吓走敌人。故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer analysis revealed that bees’ and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar. (为了验证这个想法，他和他的同事们首先记录了捕捉到的蝙蝠发出的嗡嗡声。然后，穿上防护服，他们开始了更危险的任务——记录不同蜜蜂发出的嗡嗡声。计算机分析显示，蜜蜂和蝙蝠的嗡嗡声确实相似)”可知，罗素博士通过进行一系列的科学实验检验他的想法。故选D。
34．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.”可知，经过分析，他们得出的结果是：当猫头鹰同时听到蝙蝠的嗡嗡声和蜜蜂的嗡嗡声时，它们就尽可能地远离扬声器。相比之下，当播放没有嗡嗡声的蝙蝠声音时，它们会爬得更近，说明结果十分明确清楚。故划线词意思是“明确的”。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them. (那不勒斯费德里科二世大学的Danilo Russo认为他发现了一个新的例子，他在《当代生物学》中描述了这一点。他认为，有些蝙蝠模仿愤怒的蜜蜂是为了吓跑可能会吃掉它们的猫头鹰)”结合文章主要说明了Danilo Russo认为蝙蝠模仿愤怒的蜜蜂的声音来吓走敌人，为了验证这一想法，他进行了一系列实验。可知，B选项“动物模仿：让捕食者走开”最符合文章标题。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何预防心脏病提出了一些建议。
36．根据上文“As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. (多达80%的早发心脏病是可以通过选择特定的生活方式来预防的)”可知，本句主要是在特定生活方式进行举例：锻炼和控制体重，故F选项“有些策略，如锻炼和控制体重，是众所周知的”符合语境，故选F。
37．根据上文““When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we're sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels. (阿尔伯塔大学(University of Alberta)医学教授Arya Sharma博士说：“当你没有休息好时，生活中发生的每件事都会给你带来更多压力。”如果我们睡眠不足，我们的身体也会更难控制血压、炎症和血糖水平)”可知，上文提到了血压、炎症和血糖水平，本句为本段最后一句，应说明这些因素对心血管的影响。故D选项“这些因素都会影响心血管健康”符合语境，故选D。
38．根据本段内容“Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.” (为别人做好事有助于你的自尊和缓解压力。2016年发表在《身心医学》上的一项研究表明，生活中的目标感与心脏病发作和中风的可能性较低有关。“我们知道孤独是心脏健康的一个风险因素，”夏尔马补充说。“志愿活动可以让你走出家门，建立一个社交网络。”)”可知，本段的主旨是从事志愿活动，可以有助于你的自尊和缓解压力。故B选项“从事志愿工作”符合语境，故选B。
39．根据上文“Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation. (长期暴露在这种污染中会增加患心脏病的风险。吸入由二氧化硫、碳和氮氧化物等化学物质形成的污染物可能会刺激动脉并增加炎症)”以及后文“Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor. (尽量远离高速公路和工业区进行户外锻炼，在空气质量指数较差的时候多呆在室内)”可知，上文提到了污染对身体的危害，本句进一步进行补充说明：即使是短时间的接触对有其他健康风险的人来说也是不健康的。故G选项“即使是短时间的接触对有其他健康风险的人来说也是不健康的”符合语境，故选G。
40．根据后文“If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices. (如果你吃了一顿合适的早餐，你就不太可能在之后感到饥饿，也不太可能做出糟糕的食物选择)”可知，本句主要针对早餐吃的食物进行建议。故E选项“选择全麦、低脂的早餐食物，包括水果”符合语境，故选E。

66．范文
Hello, my dear fellows. I’m really excited to be informed that we are going to start an English journal together, which is definitely a wonderful idea. It’s such a golden opportunity to enhance students’ English capability and appreciate the charm of the English language.
As for proposals, I’d like to recommend “Students’ Voice” as a distinctive column. As studying is always students’ top priority, we students are under great pressure and lack opportunities to be listened to. Why not help students voice inner feelings and have a good mood to embrace the tough yet bright future? This column, I promise, is bound to be a precious outlet and a stepping stone to communicating fluently in English.
That’s all for my advice! Thank you!

67．Then suddenly it was kids’ turn to make the last tier. Tightly gripping the clothing of those we were climbing over, we passed the first two tiers without difficulty. By the time I reached the fourth tier, nerves made my hands sweat and my knees tremble, for I was very high off the ground. As I climbed onto my mother’s shoulders, my foot slipped off and I slid down. Instinctively, I clutched Mom’s arm with all my might. Feeling the tower below swaying a bit, my heart began a crazy dance in my chest. “Stay focus!” Exclaimed a kid beside me. Sweat trickling down my face, I took a deep breath to calm myself. I could not be responsible for ruining our tower. I could not disgrace my parents or myself. I could not let my team down.
“Jordi. Easy!” My mother whispered the words. I calmed my heart and again placed my foot on Mom’s lap. This time, I grasped her shirt and firmly pushed myself to a stand, balancing on one foot. With the other foot, I stepped up and onto her shoulders, and then brought the other foot up. Reaching deep inside to feel my balance, with focus and trust, I rose slowly out of my crouch and straightened my knees. I worked hard to hold myself straight and still until our tower was complete. Whether or not we won this competition, I knew we had done what we had set out to do. With faith in each other and with focus on the task, we built our tower. Eventually, I became a casteller!

On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This was something Musk thought about a lot- how he might make a difference to the food industry—but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet broken the code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope (坡) and fell over, breaking his neck. The left side of his body was paralyzed.
Musk eventually made a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put “learning gardens” in public schools across America; attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech, data-driven, year-round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.
Aimed at reaching low- income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives. “We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,” says Musk. “People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to supplement their budget, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will be distributed through schools that Musk's non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “I grew up in the projects when I was young, in what we now call food deserts,” says EVE, one of the many celebrities who have teamed up with the organization to encourage people to pick up a free garden. “What I love about this is that it's not difficult. We are all able to grow something.”

As an intense heat wave sweeps through China, residents are seeking relief in air raid shelters and swimming pools to stay cool, and dozens of cities, including Shanghai, Chongqing and Hangzhou, have issued their highest-level red alert warnings. Shanghai has issued three red alerts this year, with the temperature hitting 40.9 Celsius on July 13, matching the record set in 2017 since 1873. The fact that Shanghai has experienced only 16 days of 40°C-plus temperatures since the city began keeping records in 1873 should give us an idea about the seriousness of the situation.
Medical experts say extreme heat could cause nausea (恶心), fatigue, sunstroke and even death, with senior citizens and people with long-term illnesses particularly vulnerable to heat waves.
Extreme heat events, which began a month ago, have affected the lives of more than 900 million people in China. Between June 1 and July 12, the average number of days with temperatures above 35°Cwas 5.3, up 2.4 days over normal years, breaking the national record set in 1961, according to the National Climate Center.
Parts of Europe are also in the grip of heat waves and experiencing extreme weather events after the western part of North America faced extreme heat waves last year. In response to the exceptionally high temperatures, the United Kingdom has declared a national emergency and issued the highest-level red alert warning for Monday and Tuesday for the first time. More alarmingly, the average global temperature in June this year was 0.4°C higher than normal years and the highest since 1979, with temperatures in countries such as Spain, France and Italy exceeding 40°C．
Unfortunately, extreme heat, which is directly related to climate change, will become more frequent and intense in the next 30 years, setting new records for high temperatures. As global warming intensifies, losses and devastation will increase, forcing natural and human systems to raise their adaptation limits.
28．What can we know about the heat waves this year?
A．It may cause more harm to the old and people with long-term illnesses.
B．The number of days above 35°Cin June breaks the national record.
C．Shanghai has experienced a higher temperature than that in 2017.
D．The whole Europe as well as America are suffering from the heat waves.
29．How does the author develop the text?
A．By analyzing and concluding. B．By explaining and contrasting.
C．By giving examples and quoting. D．By giving figures and comparing.
30．According to the writer, what is the trend of extreme heat?
A．Becoming more serious. B．Remaining stable.
C．Staying unpredictable. D．Getting controllable.
31．What is the text mainly about?
A．The solutions to the climate change. B．The economic losses from heat waves.
C．The increase of severe heat waves. D．The destructive effect of global warming.
In the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them.
Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him as similar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to scare off would-be predators.
To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer analysis revealed that bees’ and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar.
Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes and, after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats.
During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter, they videoed the owls. After analysis, the results were unequivocal. When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.
Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator. They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized.
32．What was Dr. Russo’s assumption of the study?
A．Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies.
B．The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees.
C．Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom.
D．Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry.
33．How did Dr. Russo test his idea?
A．By consulting experts in this field. B．By referring to other scholars’ analysis.
C．By collecting computer data. D．By conducting series of scientific experiments.
34．What does the underlined word “unequivocal” in paragraph 5 possibly mean?
A．Disappointing. B．Controversial. C．Definite. D．Uncertain.
35．What is a suitable title for the text?
A．A New Trick to Scare Away Owls B．Animal Mimicry: Buzz off
C．A Self-protection Behavior among Animals D．Bats: No More Victim to Owls
五、七选五
As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices.____36____But others may not have crossed your mind. “A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist Dr. Beth Abramson.
●Get eight hours of sleep.
“When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we're sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels.____37____
●____38____
Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.”
●Avoid polluted air.
Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation.____39____Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor.
●Eat breakfast.
A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who partook in a substantial morning meal. According to Abramson, you need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.____40____If you're eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices.
A．Be social and outgoing.
B．Engage in voluntary work.
C．There are physiological effects of this condition on the body.
D．These factors can all have an impact on cardiovascular (心血管的) health.
E．Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit.

九、读后续写
67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Jordi! Wake up!” Father’s voice called from the hallway, and I sat up quickly. The day finally came! The day that I would be a castellar—a tower builder. Mama had breakfast ready. “Are you prepared for your moment of fame?” Papa asked in excitement. My throat was suddenly very dry, and the bread got stuck as I swallowed. Taking a big swig of juice, I put on a smile. “I'm ready” I would do well. I wanted to make him proud.
Here in the eastern part of Spain, casteller groups were very popular. My city hosted the competition this year. Before that, I’d watched my parents compete. But never before had I been part of the tower. It was so high. And it sometimes fell. I was hesitant to be up there. But for the past year, I had been practicing the climb. I was twelve, and I must not be a coward (胆小鬼). So for the first time in a competition, I would help build the tower!
In town, I saw that the center was packed with people and casteller teams from all over the country. Hands sweating, I was waiting for our turn to compete. Mom came and patted me on the shoulder. “Have focus. Have faith.” I nodded to show that I understood and would do my best to follow the suggestions.
Soon, too soon, it was our turn.
My father and three of the strongest men stood in a circle facing each other as they held tightly to each other’s arms. Four more strong men stepped behind, each wrapping his arms around the chest of a man and giving him a bear hug. Then fifty more men and women crowded behind and began pushing on their backs to keep them tightly together.
Our base was solid. Four smaller men climbed onto the backs of the base group and stood on their shoulders. They then grabbed onto each other’s arms and held firmly, creating a strong second tier (层). Another group of men would form the third tier. Then, a group of women, including Mom, started climbing and began to form the fourth tier. Our tower was growing taller and taller.

W: Maybe I will start including them in our meals. Are there any foods on the list that we don’t have yet?
M: Nuts and greens are something we already eat plenty of. And although our type of rice—the white kind—isn’t on the list, brown rice is.
W: Then I think we will switch to that to keep the family healthy. Superfoods sound like a very tasty way to keep fit.

【原文】M: Can you tell me what happened this morning, Mrs Jones?
W: Well, 2 hours ago, that was around 10:00 in the morning when I was doing the dishes. Then, soon after that, I was polishing the table. I thought I heard a noise, but I was really concentrating on the polishing, so I didn’t take much notice.

W: That’s terrible. Did they take a lot of money?
M: Yes, and I am very upset because the bank is not helping me quickly. I have talked to many different managers already.
W: Doesn’t the bank’s owner need to make the decision to give you your money back?
M: No. I just have to prove that these purchases were not made by me.
W: I hope you can fix this problem soon. Something similar happened to my husband’s mother recently. She was tricked into giving away some important information over the phone.
M: I think the person who stole my information got it from the Internet. I bought a collection of movies recently. I won’t be doing that again unless the website is sure to be safe. It’s honestly my fault for being careless.
W: You can never be too careful. Well, your problem is inspiring me to look into protecting my account better. I think I can pay my bank more to help me.

37．根据上文““When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we're sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels. (阿尔伯塔大学(University of Alberta)医学教授Arya Sharma博士说：“当你没有休息好时，生活中发生的每件事都会给你带来更多压力。”如果我们睡眠不足，我们的身体也会更难控制血压、炎症和血糖水平)”可知，上文提到了血压、炎症和血糖水平，本句为本段最后一句，应说明这些因素对心血管的影响。故D选项“这些因素都会影响心血管健康”符合语境，故选D。
38．根据本段内容“Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.” (为别人做好事有助于你的自尊和缓解压力。2016年发表在《身心医学》上的一项研究表明，生活中的目标感与心脏病发作和中风的可能性较低有关。“我们知道孤独是心脏健康的一个风险因素，”夏尔马补充说。“志愿活动可以让你走出家门，建立一个社交网络。”)”可知，本段的主旨是从事志愿活动，可以有助于你的自尊和缓解压力。故B选项“从事志愿工作”符合语境，故选B。
39．根据上文“Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation. (长期暴露在这种污染中会增加患心脏病的风险。吸入由二氧化硫、碳和氮氧化物等化学物质形成的污染物可能会刺激动脉并增加炎症)”以及后文“Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor. (尽量远离高速公路和工业区进行户外锻炼，在空气质量指数较差的时候多呆在室内)”可知，上文提到了污染对身体的危害，本句进一步进行补充说明：即使是短时间的接触对有其他健康风险的人来说也是不健康的。故G选项“即使是短时间的接触对有其他健康风险的人来说也是不健康的”符合语境，故选G。
40．根据后文“If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices. (如果你吃了一顿合适的早餐，你就不太可能在之后感到饥饿，也不太可能做出糟糕的食物选择)”可知，本句主要针对早餐吃的食物进行建议。故E选项“选择全麦、低脂的早餐食物，包括水果”符合语境，故选E。
41．B 42．C 43．C 44．A 45．C 46．B 47．A 48．B 49．D 50．B 51．A 52．D 53．D 54．A 55．C

52．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这激发了我去实现一个我曾经认为不可能实现的目标：打棒球。A. useless无用的；B. fantastic极好的；C. discouraging令人气馁的；D. impossible不可能的。根据上文的内容可知，作者四岁就失明了，所以他原以为他不可能打棒球。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。南澳大利亚大学的航空专家花了几个月的时间研究蜻蜓的飞行，从数字图像中创建3D模型，建造了一架有翼无人机。研究负责人Javaan Chahl认为，与之前的无人机相比，基于蜻蜓形状和运动的有翼无人机将更加灵活和节能。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：研究负责人Javaan Chahl认为，与之前的无人机相比，基于蜻蜓形状和运动的有翼无人机将更加灵活和节能。表示“基于”短语为be based on，省略be动词，过去分词作定语。故填based。
57．考查比较级。句意：研究负责人Javaan Chahl认为，与之前的无人机相比，基于蜻蜓形状和运动的有翼无人机将更加灵活和节能。根据后文compared to the previous ones可知应用比较级，在前面加more。故填more flexible。
58．考查冠词。句意：Chahl的团队使用了一种特殊的摄影技术，对博物馆收藏的75种不同蜻蜓的翅膀形状进行了分类。technique此处为泛指且special是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，故填a。
59．考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，它们的长身体使它们具有出色的稳定性和平衡性，使有翼无人机能够运送尴尬的负载并执行长期观察任务。分析句子结构可知，此处make在句中作结果状语，应用现在分词。故填making。
60．考查连词。句意：此外，它们的长身体使它们具有出色的稳定性和平衡性，使有翼无人机能够运送尴尬的负载并执行长期观察任务。结合前后文语境可知为并列关系，应用连词and。故填and。
61．考查主谓一致。句意：研究蜻蜓在飞行过程中保持稳定的方式，实际上揭示了它们用来摆脱棘手情况的技术。根据后文use可知为一般现在时，主语为动名词短语，谓语用三单形式。故填reveals。
62．考查语态。句意：这种特殊的技能甚至可以在蜻蜓无意识的情况下进行，这意味着它是一种被动的稳定机制，在概念上类似于飞机在关闭引擎的情况下滑翔到安全的地方。工程师们正试图复制蜻蜓的翅膀，以制造出更安全的、可以自我矫正的翅膀。故填be performed。
63．考查介词。句意：这种特殊的技能甚至可以在蜻蜓无意识的情况下进行，这意味着它是一种被动的稳定机制，在概念上类似于飞机在关闭引擎的情况下滑翔到安全的地方。表示“类似于”可知短语为similar to。故填to。
64．考查名词。句意：这种特殊的技能甚至可以在蜻蜓无意识的情况下进行，这意味着它是一种被动的稳定机制，在概念上类似于飞机在关闭引擎的情况下滑翔到安全的地方。作宾语，应用名词safety，不可数。故填safety。
65．考查定语从句。句意：工程师们正试图复制蜻蜓的翅膀，以制造出更安全的、可以自我矫正的翅膀。定语从句修饰先行词ones，在从句中作主语，指物，故填which/that。
66．范文
Hello, my dear fellows. I’m really excited to be informed that we are going to start an English journal together, which is definitely a wonderful idea. It’s such a golden opportunity to enhance students’ English capability and appreciate the charm of the English language.
As for proposals, I’d like to recommend “Students’ Voice” as a distinctive column. As studying is always students’ top priority, we students are under great pressure and lack opportunities to be listened to. Why not help students voice inner feelings and have a good mood to embrace the tough yet bright future? This column, I promise, is bound to be a precious outlet and a stepping stone to communicating fluently in English.
That’s all for my advice! Thank you!

67．Then suddenly it was kids’ turn to make the last tier. Tightly gripping the clothing of those we were climbing over, we passed the first two tiers without difficulty. By the time I reached the fourth tier, nerves made my hands sweat and my knees tremble, for I was very high off the ground. As I climbed onto my mother’s shoulders, my foot slipped off and I slid down. Instinctively, I clutched Mom’s arm with all my might. Feeling the tower below swaying a bit, my heart began a crazy dance in my chest. “Stay focus!” Exclaimed a kid beside me. Sweat trickling down my face, I took a deep breath to calm myself. I could not be responsible for ruining our tower. I could not disgrace my parents or myself. I could not let my team down.
“Jordi. Easy!” My mother whispered the words. I calmed my heart and again placed my foot on Mom’s lap. This time, I grasped her shirt and firmly pushed myself to a stand, balancing on one foot. With the other foot, I stepped up and onto her shoulders, and then brought the other foot up. Reaching deep inside to feel my balance, with focus and trust, I rose slowly out of my crouch and straightened my knees. I worked hard to hold myself straight and still until our tower was complete. Whether or not we won this competition, I knew we had done what we had set out to do. With faith in each other and with focus on the task, we built our tower. Eventually, I became a casteller!
