第二部分  阅读理解 （共两节，满分50分）

第一节   （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Life in the future:

tech that will change the way we live

The technology we’re already exposed to has paved the way for us in the future, and these current and future technologies certainly have the potential to change our lives even more.

High-rise farms

  As the population of the earth continues to grow, living space also decreases, not only for human beings but for the animals and plants we rely on too.

It’s reasonable to see a future where tech will need to be developed to allow for farmland in unusual places. This idea of high-rise farms in the middle of a city isn’t totally beyond belief.

Li-Fi

Li-Fi has been experimented with for the last few years and has some interesting potential for fast data transfer speeds. Li-Fi uses light to transfer data rather than Wi-Fi’s radio waves. It’s also thought that Li-Fi will be much cheaper than Wi-Fi.

Recycling and re-engineering

The constant development of new tech means our world is often full of old tech. One thing the human race will have to do in the future is to learn new ways to recycle, reuse and re-engineer old tech to decrease waste and save the world.

  People are already coming up with a variety of interesting ways to recycle old tech, including turning disused things into material for paving roads.

Healthcare nanobots

  The robotic technology is being used to care for our health. Tiny nanobots could be used to check our insides to hunt our health problems. They might also be used to repair damaged organs. This could mean less time in hospital and less recovery time too.

21. What can we learn about Li-Fi?

  A．It has come into use.

  B．It uses Wi-Fi’s radio waves to transfer data.

  C．It probably increases data transfer speed.

  D．It will be as cheap as Wi-Fi.

22. Which technology will bring benefit to people’s health?

  A．Li-Fi.  B．Healthcare nanobots. 

  C．High-rise farms.  D．Recycling and re-engineering.

23. Where is the text most likely from?

  A．A science magazine. B．A guidebook. 

  C．A book review.  D．A fiction novel.

B

Tabichi's father,uncle,and cousins have all worked as teachers. He could see that his relatives were making a real difference to people's lives and wanted to do the same. So for the past 12 years,Tabichi has worked as a math and science teacher in the hope that his lessons will give students a chance to improve their situations.

However,working at a remote village school in Kenya hasn't been easy. The unique challenges and obstacles have forced Tabichi to find unique solutions for his students. The school only has one computer and unreliable Internet access.The school also has no library or laboratory. To make matters worse, there are not enough books for all the students and the school is desperately in need of more teachers. Most of the students are not able to concentrate because they haven't had enough meals at home.

One of the other major challenges that Tabichi faces is keeping kids in school as long as possible. So Tabichi spends most of his time outside of the classroom working on ways to keep kids in school. When the 36-year-old gets the feeling that a student is at risk of dropping out, he works to persuade families to put more value in education. To help those in poverty afford food,uniforms, and books, Tabichi also gives away 80 percent of his salary. Despite all the obstacles he faces,Tabichi is credited for improving the school and keeping much of the village's youth in school. He has also managed to set up science clubs and addressed food insecurity issues.

Thanks to his tireless work, his students have excelled. In recent years,students have won national and international science competitions. In March of 2019,Tabichi was voted the best teacher in the world and won the prize of $1 million.

24. What inspired Tabichi to be a teacher?

 A．The high salary of teachers.

 B．His father's demand on him.

 C．The significance of a teacher’s job.

 D．His relatives' encouragement.

25. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

 A．The difficulties Tabichi's school faced.

 B．The life of a remote village in Kenya.

 C．Tabichi's unique teaching ways for his students.

 D．Most of the students' distraction on their learning.

26. What occupied Tabichi's most time?

 A．Giving students the best lessons.

 B．Helping students get rid of poverty.

 C．Persuading students not to drop out.

 D．Getting students away from any risk.

27. Which of the following can best describe Tabichi?

 A．Pitiful. B．Lucky. C．Outgoing. D．Selfless.

C

Reading and writing are essential to learning. In fact,a new study now shows that writing by hand may help kids learn and understand letters faster. It also may help kids learn to read more quickly.Published in Psychological Science,the study found that handwriting allowed participants to take in several components of new letters they learned,helping them to potentially process the information more effectively.

During the research,the participants,who were all adults,were divided into three different learning groups: a handwriting group, a group that watched videos,and a group that typed responses. Each group was then introduced to Arabic letters and then had to reproduce them in different ways. Those in the handwriting group wrote the letters with a pen and paper. The video group saw the letters on the screen and had to identify them. And the group with typed responses had to locate the letters on a keyboard. The individuals in the handwriting group learned the information more quickly.

While the test was performed on adults,researchers believe the results can apply to children's ability to learn letters,identify them,and perhaps read earlier. Children learn by using different learning styles: seeing, hearing,moving or touching. The benefit of using handwriting with these learning methods is that it brings the methods of learning information to get her in a way that strengthens understanding.Dr Wiley notes that writing is not necessary to learn to read. But the ability to connect everything being learned about the letters can be beneficial as children become readers. And handwriting can play a part.

In fact,many experts agree that computers and digital learning can be used to improve the educational experience and not to replace handwriting and that writing should be a part of the curriculum.“We should stick with some form of written practice. That's what the evidence really shows,”Dr Rapp concludes.

28. What can we know from the findings of the new study?

 A．Reading and writing are of great importance.

 B．Writing faster may cause children to read faster.

 C．Handwriting benefits children in more than one way.

 D．Writing by hand is in fact harmful to children's ability to read.

29. What did the best performers use during the research?

 A．Computers. B．Pens and paper. C．Videos. D．Recorders.

30. How many learning methods used by children are mentioned in paragraph 3?

 A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.

31. Which of the following may Dr Rapp agree with?

 A．Handwriting shouldn't be ignored.

 B．Computers aren't good for students at all.

 C．Handwriting is a form of digital learning.

 D．Handwriting should replace digital learning.

D

Nowadays, we are very worried about COVID-19 variants(变体) such as Delta and Omicron. To relieve our anxieties,we should have a look at our own cell and the original COVID-19 virus.

First of all, our cell isn't stupid. If any virus wants to enter our cell, it must figure out a way for its spike(触手) to hold tightly to the spike on the cell’s surface.You can imagine this connecting as a secret handshake.

At the early stage,the COVID-19 virus figured out a way to connect to a specific spike on the surface of human cell,called ACE2.But the connecting wasn't perfect.However,it was good enough

to trick the ACE2 to let it in.

Once the virus was inside the cell,it kept copying itself in order to find more cells to infect.During this time，the immune system started making antibodies to fight back. Some of those antibodies acted like little caps that stick to the ends of the virus' s spike.Once“capped”，the infection couldn't move forward, and the body won!

But every time the virus copies itself inside a cell,it has the chance of changing its spikes slightly.Most of the variations are actually harmful to the virus.So these variants disappear.However,once the virus hits upon a set of variations that actually help the virus to connect more tightly to the cell or more quickly, a person's cell gets infected more easily.

Then what about the antibodies? Aren't they coming to save us again? Well, yes... and no.

Scientists found that a person who was infected with the earlier version of the virus may not be protected as well against these new variants.He still can be infected,again.However,the antibodies' spikes come in different shapes, too.So even though some antibodies become less useful,others will get the job done-or at least, hold back the infection long enough so the body can make new antibodies that fit perfectly on the changed spike.

32. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

 A．The virus. B．The cell. C．The spike. D．The connection.

33. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

 A．How a virus enters the human cell.

 B．How a virus copies itself inside a cell.

 C．Why the immune system can fight back.

 D．Why virus variants have different infection rates.

34. What can be learned from the text?

 A．COVID-19 variants will become more and more infectious.

 B．It is unlikely for COVID-19 patients to get infected again.

 C．Old antibodies might be less effective against new variants.

 D．It is hopeless to get rid of the COVID-19 in the near future.

35. What is the best title for the text?

 A．Worries About the COVID-19 Variants.

 B．A Simple Introduction of COVID-19 Variants.

 C．The Danger of the Deadly COVID-19 Virus.

 D．Ways to Protect Ourselves From COVID-19 Virus.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Why Do People Volunteer?

For someone who doesn't do it,trying to understand why people volunteer can be difficult.   36   But there are several motives that can be used to explain this.

Whenever there have been wars,there have been those who make the decision to join the battle.   37   It's not that they're unaware of the dangers, but it's something they're willing to go through.

   38   An example would be those that join environmental groups. These involve a lot of work,from cleaning out rubbish to taking care of endangered animals. While some view these as thankless tasks,these people are thinking of the future. What they're doing is to preserve the present so there will be a future.

Simple kindness is another factor as to why people volunteer.   39   We see them helping total strangers who become trapped when earthquakes or hurricanes happen. For most,it's simply a matter of doing the right thing.

An individual who becomes financially successful might feel the need to give some of the fortune back. Helping out is one way to do it. For these people, it's not just another way to earn more money.   40   

When asked why people volunteer, gratitude and giving back may be the answer.

 A．For some, it's all about the future.

 B．It helps people learn more about themselves.

 C．It is their way of expressing thanks to others.

 D．This becomes even more so when the task is dangerous.

 E．Some feel that volunteering is a way for them to grow emotionally.

     F．When disaster happens, some people offer their services to help others.

    G．For these individuals, it's all about fighting for what they believe is right.

That night,I quarreled with my mother, and then stormed out of the house.While on the road,I remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket. I did not even take my cell phone with me to make a call home.At the same time,I went through a noodle shop, and I suddenly felt very hungry.I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money!

The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked,“Hey little girl,you want to eat a bowl of noodles?”

“But ... but I do not carry money...”I shyly replied.

“It doesn't matter. I'll treat you,” the seller said. “Come in. I will cook you a bowl of noodles.”

A few minutes later, the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces,I cried.“What's wrong?” He asked.“Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!”I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street can give me a bowl of noodles, but my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house.She is cruel!”

The seller sighed,“Girl, why did you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little. Why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom?”I was really surprised after hearing that.

Why didn't I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, while my mother has raised me since I was little but I have never felt so, not even a little.
