Yue-Sai Kan was born in 1946 in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, and grew up in Hong Kong. In 1968, while majoring in piano at the Hawaii campus of Brigham Young University, Kan entered a beauty contest sponsored by the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce. She won second place, and as a result got to travel around the world. The life-changing experience marked the beginning of her career in fashion, beauty, communication and cultural exchange.
In 1972, she moved to New York and created the weekly television series Looking East, the first of its kind to introduce Asian cultures and customs to a growing US audience. In 1986, Kan returned to China, producing and hosting the television series One World, which was the first show ever hosted by a Chinese-American on the television network, and was a national hit. Other important projects of hers include the ABC documentary China: Walls and Bridges, which initially explored different forms of spirituality in the country over the ages.
“I worked in China for almost 40 years, and I was there to witness and contribute to the country’s breakneck pace of change. This rare experience has given me a unique vision. As I say all the time, if I stay away from China for six months, I already miss so much of what is happening there! The Chinese saying “a year—small change, three years—big change has held true all this time,” Kan says.
Kan has never stopped doing what she loves. She is currently planning to do a 10-part television series exploring and highlighting the most interesting aspects of 10 Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Chengdu. “I firmly believe that a TV series featuring these major Chinese cities is not only timely, but also necessary to educate, enlighten and entertain by showcasing the Chinese people as they live today. This will help dispel some of the misunderstandings about China in the world,” Kan says.
Throughout her life, Kan has also been deeply involved in charity. On Jan 26, she is planning to host a major charity event in San Francisco, in which she will honor 12 of the most outstanding Chinese-American women.
4. What contributes most to starting Kan’s career?

Chinese elements are seen everywhere at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, from stadium construction and brand marketing to mascot manufacturing (制造), providing strong support for the grand football event.
The golden-bowl shaped stadium is located 15 kilometers north of Doha, capital of Qatar. Serving as the largest sporting venue in Qatar, it hosts important matches. To make the football pitch (场地)and the audience area cooler and more comfortable, independent cooling stations were built outside the stadium, sending cool breezes into the stadium. Hassan Al Thawadi said the complex structure proves the great skills and service ability of Chinese firms, adding that those who watch the games in the venue should be grateful to Chinese engineers and constructors.
In 2020, Chinese manufacturer Yutong was selected to provide service vehicles for the Qatar World Cup. The company equipped its buses with a device that protects the motors from sand and mud, employed liquid-cooling power batteries and adopted an intelligent temperature control in the buses. It is reported that Qatar has imported 1,500 buses from China, including 888 electric ones to meet the transportation demand. It marked the first time for a major global sports event to use Chinese new energy buses in such large quantities.
In a desert 80 kilometers west of Doha, there is a vast photovoltaic (PV) power station with a total area equal to 1,400 standard football pitches. Built by the PowerChina Guizhou Engineering Co., Ltd., the 800 MW Al Kharsaah Solar Power Plant has over 2 million PV panels that are able to generate 1.8 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity for Qatar each year. It can supply around 300,000 local households and mainly reduce 900,000 tons of CO2 emissions on an annual basis.
More Chinese elements can be seen both on and off the field in Qatar. The appearance of referees Ma Ning, Shi Xiang and Cao Yi marks the first time in the recent 20 years for Chinese referees to judge World Cup games.
8. What can we learn about Hassan Al Thawadi from Paragraph 2?
A. He thinks much of Qatar’s climate. B. He knows the stadium’s function well.
C. He speaks highly of football watchers. D. He greatly praises Chinese contributions.
9. What do we know about the Chinese Yutong buses?
A. They are cheap and comfortable. B. They are used in many fields.
C. They are provided with high technology. D. They are easy to make and operate.
10. How is Paragraph 4 developed to introduce the PV power station?

C. By making comparison. D. By explaining reasons.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Chinese elements shine at Qatar World Cup.

Today we know Antarctica as an extreme environment containing ice and snow. But new research provides evidence that the area was very different in the past.
The evidence was found inside a piece of earth sediment(沉积物) collected by researchers from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor off the coast of Antarctica. In the sediment, they found forest soil estimated to be about 90 million years old. This would have been in the Cretaceous Period, when dinosaurs were the main land animals.
Johann Klages is a geologist, working in the Institute's Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research in Germany. He said an examination showed that the material formed on land, not in the ocean.
The researchers estimate that the area – about 900 kilometers from the South Pole – had average yearly temperatures of about 12 to 13 degrees Celsius. During the warmest summer months, average temperatures likely reached between 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. The average yearly temperature in that area is about 40 degrees below zero Celsius.
The examination results showed “a dense network of roots that spread through the entire soil layer,” the Helmholtz Center said in a statement.
The dark brownish-gray soil included fine dirt particles and hard clay, as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants, the study found. Klages put that the plants included trees, ferns and flowering plants and while no animal remains were found, there were likely dinosaurs, flying reptiles and many insects in the environment.
The researchers said that the rainforest environment in Antarctica was especially surprising because each year, the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life.
12. According to the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. dinosaurs were from Antarctica
B. Antarctica was always extremely cold
C. the ocean floor is made up of sediment
D. the area has been experiencing climate changes
13. What surprised the researchers?
A. No animals left.
B. No fertilizer to fuel plants.
C. Roots spreading through the soil.
D. The rainforest experiencing polar night.
14. Which column is the passage probably from?
A. Science. B. Entertainment. C. Society. D. Fiction.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Antarctica, Once a Warm Rainforest
B. Earth Sediment Found in Antarctica
C. Antarctica - an Extreme Environment
D. New Antarctica Found by Researchers
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究者发现现在由冰雪覆盖的南极洲曾经是一片温暖的雨林。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段Today we know Antarctica as an extreme environment containing ice and snow. But new research provides evidence that the area was very different in the past.（今天，我们知道南极洲是一个覆盖着冰雪的极端环境。 但新的研究提供了证据，表明该地区在过去是非常不同的）。再根据下文知道，这里曾经是一片温暖的雨林。所以可知，这个地区一直在经历着气候变化。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段The researchers said that the rainforest environment in Antarctica was especially surprising because each year, the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life.（研究人员说，南极洲的雨林环境特别令人惊讶，因为每年，该地区都经历了一个四个月的极地之夜，当时没有阳光来促进植物的生命。）所以可知，让研究人惊讶的是热带雨林经历了极地之夜。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究者发现现在由冰雪覆盖的南极洲曾经是一片温暖的雨林。这是科学研究，所以可以推断出本文可能摘自《科学》栏目。故选A。
【15题详解】
标题判断题。本文主要介绍了研究者发现现在由冰雪覆盖的南极洲曾经是一片温暖的雨林。所以最佳题目是：南极洲，曾经是一片温暖的雨林。故选A。

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。
How to Solve Worry Problems
The Great Nobel Prize winner in medicine, Dr. Alexis Carrel once said, “Businessmen who do not know how to fight worry die young.” ____16____ Then how can we find a quick, surefire recipe for handling worry situations? Here are a few basic steps to deal with different kinds of worries.
Get the facts
Why is it so important to get the facts? Because unless we have the facts, we can't possibly even attempt to solve our problems intelligently. ____17____ This is the chief cause of worry. Half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision. If a man will devote his time to securing facts in an objective way, his worries usually disappear in the light of knowledge.
Analyze the facts.
However, getting all the facts in the world won’t do any good until we figure out what these facts mean and interpret them. ____18____ In fact, merely writing the facts on a piece of paper and stating our problem clearly goes a long way toward helping us to reach a sensible decision. Therefore, when we are worried, sit down and write down two questions-and the answers to these questions, “What am I worrying about?" and "What can I do about it?”
Arrive at a decision
Worry is killing. So we will probably save our life by sitting down and writing out all the various steps, we could take and then writing down the probable results of each step and calmly coming to a decision. ____19____ It is the failure to reach a definite decision that drives men mad.
Act on that decision
____20____ Don't stop to reconsider. Don't begin to hesitate and retrace our steps. Don't lose ourselves in self-doubting which causes other doubts. Don't look back our shoulders.
A. Write down our worries.
B. There comes a time when we must decide.
C. Once we have made a decision, go into action.
D. Without the facts, we will be left in confusion.
E. And so do housewives, horse doctors and bricklayers.
F. It is much easier to achieve this after writing them down.
G. Experience has proved the enormous value of arriving at a fixed decision.
【答案】16 E 17. D 18. F 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些处理不同类型忧虑的方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“The Great Nobel Prize winner in medicine, Dr. Alexis Carrel once said, ‘Businessmen who do not know how to fight worry die young.’(伟大的诺贝尔医学奖得主，亚历克西斯·卡雷尔博士曾经说过：‘不知道如何战胜忧虑的商人英年早逝。’)”以及后文“Then how can we find a quick, surefire recipe for handling worry situations? Here are a few basic steps to deal with different kinds of worries.(那么，我们怎样才能找到一个快速、万无一失的方法来处理焦虑的情况呢？这里有一些基本的步骤来处理不同类型的忧虑)”可知，上文提到诺贝尔医学奖得主说，不知道战胜忧虑的商人会英年早逝，后文则提到了处理忧虑的方法，可推知本句应当是承接上文，进一步列举不仅是商人，其他职业的人也会因为不知道战胜忧虑的方法而早逝。故E选项“家庭主妇、马医和泥瓦匠也是如此”符合语境，故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Why is it so important to get the facts? Because unless we have the facts, we can't possibly even attempt to solve our problems intelligently.(为什么了解事实如此重要？因为除非我们掌握了事实，否则我们甚至不可能尝试明智地解决我们的问题)”可知，上文提到了了解事实的重要性，故本句承接上文进一步说明，且D选项中the facts与上文中the facts相对应。故D选项“没有这些事实，我们就会陷入混乱”符合语境，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文“In fact, merely writing the facts on a piece of paper and stating our problem clearly goes a long way toward helping us to reach a sensible decision.(事实上，仅仅是把事实写在一张纸上，清楚地陈述我们的问题，对帮助我们做出明智的决定大有帮助)”可知，后文提到了写下事实会对做决定有很大帮助，可推知本句是在建议把了解到的事实写下来，F选项中writing them down与后文中writing the facts on a piece of paper相对应。故F选项“把它们写下来就容易多了”符合语境，故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“So we will probably save our life by sitting down and writing out all the various steps, we could take and then writing down the probable results of each step and calmly coming to a decision.(所以我们可能会通过坐下来写下所有我们可以采取的步骤来挽救我们的生命，然后写下每一步可能的结果，平静地做出决定)”以及后文“It is the failure to reach a definite decision that drives men mad.(不能作出明确的决定使人烦恼)”可知，上文提到做出决定，后文则提到不明确的决定让人烦恼，可推知本句是在说明达成明确决定的重要性。故G选项“经验表明，达成一个明确的决定具有巨大的价值”符合语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据本段小标题“Act on that decision(按照这个决定行事)”以及后文“Don't stop to reconsider. Don't begin to hesitate and retrace our steps. Don't lose ourselves in self-doubting which causes other doubts. Don't look back our shoulders.(不要停下来重新考虑。不要犹豫，不妨原路折回。不要在自我怀疑中迷失自我，否则会引起其他的怀疑。不要向后看)”可知，本段主要说明的是要开始采取行动来执行我们的决定。故C选项“一旦我们做出决定，就开始行动”符合语境，故选C。

I didn’t realize what I had gotten myself into until I was driving to school in my car in ____23____. No radio blasting my favorite songs, I had to sing to myself.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了峨眉山的地理位置以及景点特色。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：峨眉山位于四川省西南部，是中国古老而著名的旅游景点。短语be located in表示“位于”，省略be动词，过去分词作状语，故填located。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：300万年前，峨眉山的主体部分沿着这里的一条断层线急剧上升。根据上文Three million years ago可知为一般过去时。故填rose。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：由于侵蚀和风化的复杂组合，今天的山顶与峨眉山平原之间形成了2600多米的巨大高差。作主语，应用名词height，故填height。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：万佛顶海拔3099米，是峨眉山的最高峰。短语at an altitude of表示“在……高度”。故填at。
【45题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：峨眉山上寺庙和景点最集中的金顶处于居高临下的位置，被称为世界上最大、最高的汉传佛教圣地。主语与谓语构成被动关系，陈述客观事实用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为The Golden Summit with the biggest concentration of temples and scenic spots on Mount Emei，谓语用单数。故填is called。
46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：弥勒佛高48米，是世界上最高的金佛。分析句子结构可知measure与逻辑主语The Buddha statue of Samantabhadra构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填measuring。
【47题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：佛像的十个头像分为三层，每一层都有不同的表情，代表着普通人的十种心态。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词The ten heads of the Buddha statue，从句缺少主语，指物，故填which。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：金顶也是最适合欣赏峨眉山“云海”的地方。名词place由最高级修饰，后跟不定式作后置定语。故填to appreciate。
【49题详解】
考查副词。句意：令人难以置信的是，峨眉山的72座山峰大多在海拔2000米以上。修饰后文句子应用副词incredibly，作状语，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Incredibly。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意：由不断变化的雾和雾形成，它们呈现了独特的全景。view此处为泛指，且unique是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。

第一节 短文改错(共 10 小题;每小题 1 分，满分 10 分)
51. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10 处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除:把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。
修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

It’s been two years when I joined the campus radio station. During this time, I had done several interviews. Every time I finish to writing an article, I am proud of myself for able to introduce the things I’ve seen to my schoolmates. It was difficult at times, but when I saw my stories publish in our school newspaper, you knew that it was something worth doing. My parents, teachers and schoolmates congratulated me on that I did. I felt happily when I shared a new story with them. The greatest thing about being the reporter is exchanging idea with others.
【答案】1. when→since 2. had→have 3. 删除to 4. able前加being 5.publish→published 6. you→I 7. that→what 8. happily→happy 9. the→a 10. idea→ideas
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者参加了校园广播站，参加过访谈节目，也时常写文章并介绍给同学们。
【详解】1.考查状语从句连接词。句意：我加入校园广播站已经两年了。主句时态为现在完成时，应用since引导时间状语从句，表示主句动作的开始时间。故将when改为since。
2.考查时态。句意：在这段时间里，我参加了几次访谈。根据语境，during this time指“我加入校园广播站的这两年”，句子应用现在完成时。故将had改为have。
3.考查及物动词。句意：每次我写完一篇文章，我都为自己能够向同学们介绍我所看到的东西而感到自豪。finish是及物动词，后接动名词作宾语，介词多余。故将to删除。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：每次我写完一篇文章，我都为自己能够向同学们介绍我所看到的东西而感到自豪。介词for后接宾语，able为形容词，应在前面加上动名词being构成动名词短语作宾语。故在able前加being。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意：有时很困难，但当我看到我的故事发表在校报上时，我知道这是值得一做的事情。publish作宾语补足语，与其逻辑主语my stories之间为动宾关系，应用过去分词表被动。故将publish改为published。
6.考查人称代词主格。句意：有时很困难，但当我看到我的故事发表在校报上时，我知道这是值得一做的事情。knew的动作发出者是作者本人，应用I。故将you改为I。
7.考查宾语从句的引导词。句意：我的父母，老师和同学祝贺我所做的一切。on后是宾语从句，从句缺宾语，应用连接代词what引导。故将that改为what。
8.考查形容词。句意：当我和他们分享一个新的故事时，我感到很高兴。felt为系动词，后接形容词作表语。故将happily改为happy。
9.考查冠词。句意：当记者最大的好处就是和别人交换意见。泛指“职业”，应用不定冠词，reporter为辅音音素开头，故用a。故将the改为a。
10.考查名词复数。句意：当记者最大的好处就是和别人交换意见。idea为可数名词，根据with others可知，是复数概念，应用复数名词。故将idea改为ideas。
