Christian Liden decided that he would not pick out a ring from a jeweler's like most other people.He hatched an ambitious plan to create a personalized ring for his future wife，Desirae Clovis.Therefore，he made up his mind to go into the wild to find his own materials：the diamond，the gold and the accompanying jewels.
So，in May 2022，Liden told Clovis that he and Josh Tucker，his best friend，were heading out on a camp to Yellowstone.Instead，he and Tucker made for Crater of Diamonds State Park，Arkansas，which is set on a volcanic crater.The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and can keep them for free.Since its opening，only 1 in10，000 park visitors is lucky enough to find a diamond that weighs a carat or more.Still，he was up for the challenge.
On their way，Liden and Tucker stopped in Helena，Montana，to mine for accompanying jewels to add to the diamond they hoped to score.In Arkansas，the pair paid ﹩10 each to get into the park and spent almost three days searching through the volcanic dirt.
On the third morning，Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands. "I was so excited that I started shaking." he said， "It was oily and shiny，and we both just knew it was a Diamond."
It was confirmed that Liden had found a 2.2-carat yellow diamond.Similarly-sized diamonds go for ﹩2，500 to ﹩20，000 per carat，depending on quality，color and cut.But the value wasn't what was important to Liden.

This year saw the publication，in stages，of the sixth report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）—a report which was depressing reading for many climate scientists，and in some ways offered a ray of hope.
Why depressing？Because the report confirmed what scientists have been saying for years：that human activity，particularly in the form of emissions （排放） of greenhouse gases，is responsible for the warming in the past few centuries，and that unless such emissions are greatly reduced，we will soon bring about our entire ecosystem's destruction.
The report concluded that 1.5°C of global warming over the next couple of hundred years is already "baked in".This makes the goals outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreement—that nations agreed to keep warming below 2°C，and hopefully below 1.5°C-much harder to meet.Worse still，the IPCC report was followed later in the year by the COP27 summit （峰会），described by Prof Dann Mitchell，as "a complete failure，other than some commitment to loss and damage."
And the ray of hope？The IPCC's sixth report was broader in approach than previous studies—looking in-depth for the first time at the role played in warming by short-term greenhouse gases such as methane（甲烷），for instance.
"Reducing carbon emissions is always the best approach：stop the problem at its source，" said Mitchell. "But we also need other approaches to help with this.Methane is important，but it's so short-lived-that's why we haven't been so bothered when compared with CO，."
The IPCC working groups showed potential adaptation paths，and they are the other things we can do in terms of fighting climate change and relieving its worst effects，rather than simply reducing carbon emissions.This would include taking measures such as switching to a more plant-based diet （to reduce methane emissions），controlling population growth，reducing financial inequality and developing means by which we might remove CO，that's already in our atmosphere，rather than simply preventing it being released.
8. Which of the following can best describe the sixth report by IPCC？
A. Seemingly contradictory. B. Wholly promising.
C. Particularly hopeless. D. Exceptionally new.
9. What does the underlined phrase "baked in" in paragraph 3 mean？
A. out of date. B. to the full.
C. under discussion. D. in progress
10. According to the passage，what can we learn about methane？
A. It has been long regarded as a major source of global warming.
B. Its role in global warming had been overlooked before the report.
C. Its boost to global warming is as much as other greenhouse gases.
D. It is considered as a new approach to reducing global warming.
11. How many aspects do the adaptation paths involve in the last paragraph？
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
D
Does your life ever feel as if you're pushing a heavy car—one on which you've spent much money and thathas now broken down？You've done everything right：you haven't invested heavily in a new business or quit your job to pursue your childhood dream of becoming a professional athlete.You have been a sensible adult living your sensible life.So why does it feel like such hard work？
This has been me for the past few months.Earlier this year，I took a long hard look at my sources of income and decided to focus on the ones that provided the most money.I'm lucky enough to have had a good financial year.But despite doing the right thing， it has used up my energy and I've worked out why.
Years ago，I realized that I disliked hard work.Don't get me wrong，I don't mind working hard.but hard work isn't for me.What's the difference？For a start，hard work feels as if it never really gets going.You canpush hard work and it might move a little but there's no celebratory moment when it gets done.Most importantly，hard work lacks joy.Working hard on a project you feel excited and moved by can be tiring and difficult，but it's ultimately joyful and that is what I've been missing
So I asked myself what would feel scary but joyful and this is the answer.I'm going to write a romance.Ofcourse，being a middle-aged journalist who suddenly decides to write a book is nothing novel.However，for me，it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it and scary enough to make me feel it's worthwhile.
As with all good middle-aged changes，this one hasn't really been thought through.I know little about writing fiction and even less about what makes a good book.I have the thinnest of ideas for a plot but，for the first time in a while，I'm excited，I will be another Jane Austen with my fantasies which give me life.Sonow，I have to go and sharpen my pencil.
12. What can best describe-the author's current feeling about life？
A. A new business makes her feel fresh.
B. She has got everything under her control.
C. She is conflicted about living a sensible life.
D. A childhood dream inspires her to more efforts.
13. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to？
A. Living a rather sensible life. B. Identifying income sources.
C. Discovering new life goals. D. Sorting out the author's jobs
14. What's the authors understanding of hard work and working hard？
A. Journalism is a career worth working hard.
B. Hard work is something either sweet or tiring.
C. Writing a romance is difficult but rewarding.
D. Working hard rarely brings about satisfaction
15. What is probably the best title for the text？
A. Works like a dream. B. Middle-aged job crisis
C. Celebratory moment. D. A future Jane Austen.
Complaining is often looked at as a negative，but if you perfect it great things can happen.
（1） Articles and experts insist that too much complaining will lower your empathy （共情） and stop you achieving your dream and living the life you want.They suggest that you cut out negativity from your life，especially people who complain.But humans love to complain
I know this because I get paid to sit with people while they complain and process every week.
（2） Once we discover how to effectively integrate it，great things can happen.Dr Robin Kowalski found those who complain with the hopes of achieving a certain result tend to be happier.
Complaining also influences how people see us，creates social bonds，encourages empathy and helps create real changes.It plays a very important role in our lives and is a skill that can be extremely effective. （3）
So here are some ways to deal with the art of complaining in a skillful way.
1.Clarify and organize your complaints.It will get your complaints across to others more easily.
2.Work out who can give you a hand.（4） Pick those who can empathize with you or help with your goal.
3.Make connections with others.It would be possible for people to know what you needed.Conclude from specific things above，and our complaining is much more likely to feel useful and effective：
• Use facts and logic.
• Identify who has the ability to make it happen.
• （5）
Whatever your complaining，it'll make for your improvement when used correctly and effectively.
A.Get rid of your bitter complaints.
B.Don't complain to the same people.
C.Actually，complaining has a bad reputation.
D.Socialize with others to make complaints accessible.
E.Complaining does serve as a real purpose in our lives.
F.However，the influences of complaining are not necessarily beneficial to us all.
G.Our goal is not to remove complaining，but make it more useful and effective.

38. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成篇完整的短文。
As I stood in line waiting to cash out at a "pack your own" kind of store，where customers pack their items by themselves，I stared at the customer in front of me reading the magazines.She was young，but she already had a tired look to her，with heads bent forwards—as if life had beaten her down too many times.
Her face looked pale from extreme tiredness.Her winter coat was thin and unbuttoned.The well-worn scarf around her throat probably did little to protect it from the cold weather.Her hands turning a few pages，were rough and red.When I looked down at her boots，I could see a small piece of a clear plastic bag partially visible through a hole in her left boot.
The items in her cart （购物车） included the cheapest cuts of meat and some things like rice and potatoes.There were also lots of noodles.Day-old bread，inexpensive soap，and tissues on sale—well，almost.In a far corner sat a little toy and a pretty dress that was 50 percent off.
She continued to look at the magazines as we waited，and more people lined up behind us.She finally took one out and turned it over several times，trying to find a price before finally turning to me.
"I'm sorry to bother you，" she began in a shy and nervous tone. "But can you tell me how much this is？I forgot my glasses at home."
"Of course" I said with a smile.
When I finally found the small print and told her，she shook her head and put it back.
"They've become so expensive，haven't they？" I said sympathetically.
"Next!" The cashier called in a gentle voice before she could answer，and she moved forward to begin her transaction（交易）
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150 左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When told the cost，the woman's face paled.__________
I approached the cashier and whispered "Include her removed items in my bill，please."_______

1~3.【答案】D、B、A
【解析】（1）文章出处题。由本文第一自然段中的关键句According to NPD Group which tracks the bicycle industry，electric bike sales have more than doubled since 2019.（根据跟踪自行车行业的NPD集团的数据，自2019年以来，电动自行车的销量翻了一番多。）可知电动自行车的销量翻番，所以本文很可能是来自于消费报告。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。由本文Specialized Turbo内容中的关键句The electric motor makes it possible to cover longer distances.（电动机可以走更远的距离。）可知该电动自行车使得走远距离的路程变得可能，所以Specialized Turbo是最佳选择。故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据第一自然段中的关键句Confirm your need and pick the electric bike that's best for you.（确认您的需求并选择最适合您的电动自行车。）以及表格中WHAT'S IT FOR？（这是干什么用的？）该栏目中对电动自行车设计出发点的介绍可推断，电动自行车是基于出行目的设计的，且B、C、D三项中的内容均不正确或未提及。故选A。
本文是一篇应用文。介绍了四种不同类型的电动自行车，可以根据需要选择最适合自己的一款。
阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意，因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料；其次细读题材，各个击破，掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性，对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准。
4~7.【答案】D、D、C、B
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段.He hatched an ambitious plan to create a personalized ring for his future wife，Desirae Clovis.Therefore，he made up his mind to go into the wild to find his own materials：the diamond，the gold and the accompanying jewels.（他酝酿了一个雄心勃勃的计划，为他未来的妻子德西蕾•克洛维斯打造一枚个性化的戒指。因此，他下定决心要去野外寻找自己的材料：钻石、黄金和相关的珠宝。）可知克里斯蒂安•利登雄心勃勃的计划是寻找一颗天然钻石来制作一枚戒指。故选D。
（2）推理判断题。根据第二段The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and can keep them for free.（该公园是世界上少数几个欢迎公众寻找真钻石并可以免费收藏的地方之一。）可知，在该公园，公众可以保留在那里发现的任何钻石。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段On the third morning，Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands. "I was so excited that I started shaking." he said， "It was oily and shiny，and we both just knew it was a Diamond."（第三天早上，Liden突然发现沙滩上有反光的东西。"我激动得浑身发抖。他说，"它又油又亮，我们俩都知道它是钻石。"）可知，Liden之所以兴奋是因为他幸运地找到了制作戒指的钻石。故选C。
（4）推理判断题。通读全文以及根据文章最后一段When he pulled out the diamond and got on his knee upon his return，Clovis was amazed. "I knew that he was going to propose someday，she said， "but I certainly didn't expect this."（当他取出钻石，回来时单膝跪地，Clovis很惊讶。"我知道他总有一天会向我求婚，"她说，"但我万万没想到会这样。"）可知，Liden为了给未来妻子定做钻石，所以计划去自然寻找天然原石，后来两人经历艰辛万苦，发现了钻石，由此Liden向爱人求婚表达爱意。由此推断文章阐述的道理是Liden用具体的行动表达处对Clovis的爱，故B选项Love shows more in action than in words.（爱体现在行动胜于语言。）符合题意。故选B。
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是Liden为了给未来妻子定做钻石，所以计划去自然寻找天然原石，后来两人经历艰辛万苦，发现了钻石，由此Liden向爱人求婚表达爱意。文章阐述的道理是：爱体现在行动胜于语言。
一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
8~11.【答案】A、D、B、C
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段This year saw the publication，in stages，of the sixth report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）—a report which was depressing reading for many climate scientists，and in some ways offered a ray of hope.（今年，联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）分阶段发布了第六份报告——这份报告让许多气候科学家感到沮丧，但在某些方面却带来了一线希望。）可知IPCC的第六次报告让人感到沮丧又在某方面带来希望，因此看起来是自相矛盾的。故选A。
（2）词义猜测题。根据第三段中的This makes the goals outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreement—that nations agreed to keep warming below 2°C，and hopefully below 1.5°C-much harder to meet.（这使得2015年《巴黎协定》中概述的目标——各国同意将升温控制在2°C以下，希望低于1.5°C——更难实现）可知，此处讲述的是划线短语所在句子中产生的结果为使得2015年《巴黎协定》中概述的目标更难实现了，也就是说划线短语所在的句子陈述的内容已经形成，造成《巴黎协定》的目标更难实现，所以该短语的意思是"形成，在进行中"。A．out of date过时；B．to the full全部；C．under discussion正在讨论中；D．in progress在进行中。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段中的The IPCC's sixth report was broader in approach than previous studies—looking in-depth for the first time at the role played in warming by short-term greenhouse gases such as methane（甲烷），for instance.（IPCC的第六份报告在方法上比以前的研究更广泛——首次深入研究了甲烷等短期温室气体在变暖中所起的作用）可知，在IPCC的第六份报告中第一次深入研究了甲烷在气候变暖中的作用，由此可以推断，在这之前，未提到过甲烷对气候变暖带来的影响。故选B。
（4）细节理解题。根据最后一段中的This would include taking measures such as switching to a more plant—based diet （to reduce methane emissions），controlling population growth，reducing financial inequality and developing means by which we might remove CO，that's already in our atmosphere，rather than simply preventing it being released.（这将包括采取措施，例如改用更多植物性饮食（以减少甲烷排放），控制人口增长，减少金融不平等以及开发我们可以去除已经在我们大气中的一氧化碳的方法，而不是简单地阻止它被释放）可知，提到的适应性路径有转向更多的植物性饮食、控制人口增长、减少财政不平等以及开发方法解决已经存在大气中的CO。故选C。
本文是一篇说明文。主要分析了联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）发布的第六份气候变化报告，这份报告既令人沮丧，又给人们以希望。
阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。
12~15.【答案】C、A、C、A
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据文章第三段 Years ago，I realized that I disliked hard work.Don't get me wrong，I don't mind working hard.but hard work isn't for me.What's the difference？For a start，hard work feels as if it never really gets going.You canpush hard work and it might move a little but there's no celebratory moment when it gets done.（几年前，我意识到我不喜欢艰苦的工作。不要误解我，我不介意努力工作。但是努力工作不适合我。有什么区别？首先，艰苦的工作似乎永远不会真正开始。你可以推动艰苦的工作，它可能会移动一点，但当它完成时没有庆祝的时刻。）可知C．She is conflicted about living a sensible life.（她对过明智的生活感到矛盾。）符合题意。故选C项。
（2）代词指代题。根据第一段You have been a sensible adult living your sensible life.（你是一个过着理性生活的成年人）以及第二段decided to focus on the ones that provided the most money（决定专注于那些能挣很多钱的事）还有used up my energy（耗尽了我的精力）可知，第二段划下划线的词it指的是过非常理性的生活，故选A项。
（3）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段However，for me，it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it and scary enough to make me feel it's worthwhile.（然而，对我来说它处在最好的状态：足够快乐让我想去做它；足够害怕让我感觉它是值得的）可知，作者认为写浪漫小说很难，但是收获颇丰，故选C项。
（4）标题归纳题。根据文章第一段You have been a sensible adult living your sensible life.So why does it feel like such hard work？（你是一个过着理性生活的成年人，为什么感觉工作这么困难呢？）以及倒数第二段However，for me，it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it and scary enough to make me feel it's worthwhile.（然而，对我来说它处在最好的状态：足够快乐让我想去做它；足够害怕让我感觉它是值得的）可知，本文讲的是作者以前不愿意做那些看起来困难的事情，但是生活感到不如意，尝试做那些看起来困难的事情以后，一切进展顺利，与A项"Works like a dream（进展顺利）"表达的含义一致，故选A项。
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者本人不愿意做看起来困难的事情，但感觉生活很艰难，后来在尝试做困难的事情以后，逐渐找到了人生的快乐。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
16~20.【答案】C、E、G、B、D
【解析】（1）段落主题题。空处位于句首，应为本段内容的概括。根据空前Complaining is often looked at as a negative，but if you perfect it great things can happen.（抱怨通常被看作是消极的，但如果你完善它，美好的事情就会发生。）"可知虽然抱怨被认为是不好的，但是如果你对其进行完善的话，其实抱怨也会让好事发生，根据空后Articles and experts insist that too much complaining will lower your empathy （共情） and stop you achieving your dream and living the life you want.（文章和专家坚持认为，太多的抱怨会降低你的同理心，阻止你实现你的梦想，过上你想要的生活。）可知专家们认为抱怨是不好的，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是虽然抱怨可以让好事发生，但是实际上抱怨通常让人觉得不好，C项（事实上，抱怨的名声不好。）指出实际上抱怨的名声很差，承接上文，引出下文，概括本段的主要内容，符合上下文语境。故选C项。
（2）段落主题题。空处位于句首，应为本段内容的概括。根据下文Once we discover how to effectively integrate it，great things can happen.Dr Robin Kowalski found those who complain with the hopes of achieving a certain result tend to be happier.（一旦我们发现如何有效地整合它，美好的事情就会发生。Robin Kowalski博士发现，那些为了达到某种目的而抱怨的人往往更快乐。）可知如果我们为了达到某个目标而进行合理的抱怨，那么我们会变得更开心，由此可以推出抱怨确实有一些作用，所以空处应该讲抱怨的用途是什么，E项（抱怨确实是我们生活中的一个真正的目的。）指出抱怨确实是我们生活的一个真实目的，对本段进行了概括，符合上下文语境。故选E项。
（3）细节理解题。根据空前It plays a very important role in our lives and is a skill that can be extremely effective.（它在我们的生活中扮演着非常重要的角色，是一种非常有效的技能。）可知抱怨在生活中确实很重要，根据空后So here are some ways to deal with the art of complaining in a skillful way.（因此，这里有一些巧妙地处理抱怨艺术的方法。）可知此处是在给出一些如何让抱怨变得有意义的建议，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是我们要学会正确对待抱怨，G项（我们的目标不是消除抱怨，而是让它更有用、更有效。）指出对待抱怨我们的目的不是消除，而是让它更加有意义，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选G项。
（4）细节理解题。根据空前Work out who can give you a hand.（找出谁能帮到你。）可知我们要找到能帮助自己的人，根据空后Pick those who can empathize with you or help with your goal.（选择那些能同情你或帮助你实现目标的人。）可知我们要选择能够和自己共情的人进行抱怨，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是不要一直对同一个人帮不了你的人进行抱怨，B项（不要向同一个人抱怨。）指出不能一直对同一个人抱怨，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选B项。
（5）段落主题题空处为本段主题句，应对空后内容进行概括。根据空后Whatever your complaining，it'll make for your improvement when used correctly and effectively.（无论你抱怨什么，如果正确有效地使用，它都会有助于你的进步。）可知此处讲的是应该与别人多联系，所以空处应该是与社交有关的主题句，D项（与他人交往，让抱怨成为可能。）告诉我们要和别人进行交往，从而让抱怨成为一种可能，概括本段主要内容，符合上下文语境。故选D项。
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是如果我们对通常被看做消极的抱怨进行完善的话就会有美好的事情发生。

Christian Liden decided that he would not pick out a ring from a jeweler's like most other people.He hatched an ambitious plan to create a personalized ring for his future wife，Desirae Clovis.Therefore，he made up his mind to go into the wild to find his own materials：the diamond，the gold and the accompanying jewels.
So，in May 2022，Liden told Clovis that he and Josh Tucker，his best friend，were heading out on a camp to Yellowstone.Instead，he and Tucker made for Crater of Diamonds State Park，Arkansas，which is set on a volcanic crater.The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and can keep them for free.Since its opening，only 1 in10，000 park visitors is lucky enough to find a diamond that weighs a carat or more.Still，he was up for the challenge.
On their way，Liden and Tucker stopped in Helena，Montana，to mine for accompanying jewels to add to the diamond they hoped to score.In Arkansas，the pair paid ﹩10 each to get into the park and spent almost three days searching through the volcanic dirt.
On the third morning，Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands. "I was so excited that I started shaking." he said， "It was oily and shiny，and we both just knew it was a Diamond."
It was confirmed that Liden had found a 2.2-carat yellow diamond.Similarly-sized diamonds go for ﹩2，500 to ﹩20，000 per carat，depending on quality，color and cut.But the value wasn't what was important to Liden.

This year saw the publication，in stages，of the sixth report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）—a report which was depressing reading for many climate scientists，and in some ways offered a ray of hope.
Why depressing？Because the report confirmed what scientists have been saying for years：that human activity，particularly in the form of emissions （排放） of greenhouse gases，is responsible for the warming in the past few centuries，and that unless such emissions are greatly reduced，we will soon bring about our entire ecosystem's destruction.
The report concluded that 1.5°C of global warming over the next couple of hundred years is already "baked in".This makes the goals outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreement—that nations agreed to keep warming below 2°C，and hopefully below 1.5°C-much harder to meet.Worse still，the IPCC report was followed later in the year by the COP27 summit （峰会），described by Prof Dann Mitchell，as "a complete failure，other than some commitment to loss and damage."
And the ray of hope？The IPCC's sixth report was broader in approach than previous studies—looking in-depth for the first time at the role played in warming by short-term greenhouse gases such as methane（甲烷），for instance.
"Reducing carbon emissions is always the best approach：stop the problem at its source，" said Mitchell. "But we also need other approaches to help with this.Methane is important，but it's so short-lived-that's why we haven't been so bothered when compared with CO，."
The IPCC working groups showed potential adaptation paths，and they are the other things we can do in terms of fighting climate change and relieving its worst effects，rather than simply reducing carbon emissions.This would include taking measures such as switching to a more plant-based diet （to reduce methane emissions），controlling population growth，reducing financial inequality and developing means by which we might remove CO，that's already in our atmosphere，rather than simply preventing it being released.
8. Which of the following can best describe the sixth report by IPCC？
A. Seemingly contradictory. B. Wholly promising.
C. Particularly hopeless. D. Exceptionally new.
9. What does the underlined phrase "baked in" in paragraph 3 mean？
A. out of date. B. to the full.
C. under discussion. D. in progress
10. According to the passage，what can we learn about methane？
A. It has been long regarded as a major source of global warming.
B. Its role in global warming had been overlooked before the report.
C. Its boost to global warming is as much as other greenhouse gases.
D. It is considered as a new approach to reducing global warming.
11. How many aspects do the adaptation paths involve in the last paragraph？
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
D
Does your life ever feel as if you're pushing a heavy car—one on which you've spent much money and thathas now broken down？You've done everything right：you haven't invested heavily in a new business or quit your job to pursue your childhood dream of becoming a professional athlete.You have been a sensible adult living your sensible life.So why does it feel like such hard work？
This has been me for the past few months.Earlier this year，I took a long hard look at my sources of income and decided to focus on the ones that provided the most money.I'm lucky enough to have had a good financial year.But despite doing the right thing， it has used up my energy and I've worked out why.
Years ago，I realized that I disliked hard work.Don't get me wrong，I don't mind working hard.but hard work isn't for me.What's the difference？For a start，hard work feels as if it never really gets going.You canpush hard work and it might move a little but there's no celebratory moment when it gets done.Most importantly，hard work lacks joy.Working hard on a project you feel excited and moved by can be tiring and difficult，but it's ultimately joyful and that is what I've been missing
So I asked myself what would feel scary but joyful and this is the answer.I'm going to write a romance.Ofcourse，being a middle-aged journalist who suddenly decides to write a book is nothing novel.However，for me，it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it and scary enough to make me feel it's worthwhile.
As with all good middle-aged changes，this one hasn't really been thought through.I know little about writing fiction and even less about what makes a good book.I have the thinnest of ideas for a plot but，for the first time in a while，I'm excited，I will be another Jane Austen with my fantasies which give me life.Sonow，I have to go and sharpen my pencil.
12. What can best describe-the author's current feeling about life？
A. A new business makes her feel fresh.
B. She has got everything under her control.
C. She is conflicted about living a sensible life.
D. A childhood dream inspires her to more efforts.
13. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to？
A. Living a rather sensible life. B. Identifying income sources.
C. Discovering new life goals. D. Sorting out the author's jobs
14. What's the authors understanding of hard work and working hard？
A. Journalism is a career worth working hard.
B. Hard work is something either sweet or tiring.
C. Writing a romance is difficult but rewarding.
D. Working hard rarely brings about satisfaction
15. What is probably the best title for the text？
A. Works like a dream. B. Middle-aged job crisis
C. Celebratory moment. D. A future Jane Austen.
Complaining is often looked at as a negative，but if you perfect it great things can happen.
（1） Articles and experts insist that too much complaining will lower your empathy （共情） and stop you achieving your dream and living the life you want.They suggest that you cut out negativity from your life，especially people who complain.But humans love to complain
I know this because I get paid to sit with people while they complain and process every week.
（2） Once we discover how to effectively integrate it，great things can happen.Dr Robin Kowalski found those who complain with the hopes of achieving a certain result tend to be happier.
Complaining also influences how people see us，creates social bonds，encourages empathy and helps create real changes.It plays a very important role in our lives and is a skill that can be extremely effective. （3）

As I stood in line waiting to cash out at a "pack your own" kind of store，where customers pack their items by themselves，I stared at the customer in front of me reading the magazines.She was young，but she already had a tired look to her，with heads bent forwards—as if life had beaten her down too many times.
Her face looked pale from extreme tiredness.Her winter coat was thin and unbuttoned.The well-worn scarf around her throat probably did little to protect it from the cold weather.Her hands turning a few pages，were rough and red.When I looked down at her boots，I could see a small piece of a clear plastic bag partially visible through a hole in her left boot.
The items in her cart （购物车） included the cheapest cuts of meat and some things like rice and potatoes.There were also lots of noodles.Day-old bread，inexpensive soap，and tissues on sale—well，almost.In a far corner sat a little toy and a pretty dress that was 50 percent off.
She continued to look at the magazines as we waited，and more people lined up behind us.She finally took one out and turned it over several times，trying to find a price before finally turning to me.
"I'm sorry to bother you，" she began in a shy and nervous tone. "But can you tell me how much this is？I forgot my glasses at home."
"Of course" I said with a smile.
When I finally found the small print and told her，she shook her head and put it back.
"They've become so expensive，haven't they？" I said sympathetically.
"Next!" The cashier called in a gentle voice before she could answer，and she moved forward to begin her transaction（交易）

答案和解析
1~3.【答案】D、B、A
【解析】（1）文章出处题。由本文第一自然段中的关键句According to NPD Group which tracks the bicycle industry，electric bike sales have more than doubled since 2019.（根据跟踪自行车行业的NPD集团的数据，自2019年以来，电动自行车的销量翻了一番多。）可知电动自行车的销量翻番，所以本文很可能是来自于消费报告。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。由本文Specialized Turbo内容中的关键句The electric motor makes it possible to cover longer distances.（电动机可以走更远的距离。）可知该电动自行车使得走远距离的路程变得可能，所以Specialized Turbo是最佳选择。故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据第一自然段中的关键句Confirm your need and pick the electric bike that's best for you.（确认您的需求并选择最适合您的电动自行车。）以及表格中WHAT'S IT FOR？（这是干什么用的？）该栏目中对电动自行车设计出发点的介绍可推断，电动自行车是基于出行目的设计的，且B、C、D三项中的内容均不正确或未提及。故选A。
本文是一篇应用文。介绍了四种不同类型的电动自行车，可以根据需要选择最适合自己的一款。
阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意，因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料；其次细读题材，各个击破，掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性，对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准。
4~7.【答案】D、D、C、B
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段.He hatched an ambitious plan to create a personalized ring for his future wife，Desirae Clovis.Therefore，he made up his mind to go into the wild to find his own materials：the diamond，the gold and the accompanying jewels.（他酝酿了一个雄心勃勃的计划，为他未来的妻子德西蕾•克洛维斯打造一枚个性化的戒指。因此，他下定决心要去野外寻找自己的材料：钻石、黄金和相关的珠宝。）可知克里斯蒂安•利登雄心勃勃的计划是寻找一颗天然钻石来制作一枚戒指。故选D。
（2）推理判断题。根据第二段The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and can keep them for free.（该公园是世界上少数几个欢迎公众寻找真钻石并可以免费收藏的地方之一。）可知，在该公园，公众可以保留在那里发现的任何钻石。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段On the third morning，Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands. "I was so excited that I started shaking." he said， "It was oily and shiny，and we both just knew it was a Diamond."（第三天早上，Liden突然发现沙滩上有反光的东西。"我激动得浑身发抖。他说，"它又油又亮，我们俩都知道它是钻石。"）可知，Liden之所以兴奋是因为他幸运地找到了制作戒指的钻石。故选C。
（4）推理判断题。通读全文以及根据文章最后一段When he pulled out the diamond and got on his knee upon his return，Clovis was amazed. "I knew that he was going to propose someday，she said， "but I certainly didn't expect this."（当他取出钻石，回来时单膝跪地，Clovis很惊讶。"我知道他总有一天会向我求婚，"她说，"但我万万没想到会这样。"）可知，Liden为了给未来妻子定做钻石，所以计划去自然寻找天然原石，后来两人经历艰辛万苦，发现了钻石，由此Liden向爱人求婚表达爱意。由此推断文章阐述的道理是Liden用具体的行动表达处对Clovis的爱，故B选项Love shows more in action than in words.（爱体现在行动胜于语言。）符合题意。故选B。
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是Liden为了给未来妻子定做钻石，所以计划去自然寻找天然原石，后来两人经历艰辛万苦，发现了钻石，由此Liden向爱人求婚表达爱意。文章阐述的道理是：爱体现在行动胜于语言。
一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
8~11.【答案】A、D、B、C
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第一段This year saw the publication，in stages，of the sixth report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change （IPCC）—a report which was depressing reading for many climate scientists，and in some ways offered a ray of hope.（今年，联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）分阶段发布了第六份报告——这份报告让许多气候科学家感到沮丧，但在某些方面却带来了一线希望。）可知IPCC的第六次报告让人感到沮丧又在某方面带来希望，因此看起来是自相矛盾的。故选A。
（2）词义猜测题。根据第三段中的This makes the goals outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreement—that nations agreed to keep warming below 2°C，and hopefully below 1.5°C-much harder to meet.（这使得2015年《巴黎协定》中概述的目标——各国同意将升温控制在2°C以下，希望低于1.5°C——更难实现）可知，此处讲述的是划线短语所在句子中产生的结果为使得2015年《巴黎协定》中概述的目标更难实现了，也就是说划线短语所在的句子陈述的内容已经形成，造成《巴黎协定》的目标更难实现，所以该短语的意思是"形成，在进行中"。A．out of date过时；B．to the full全部；C．under discussion正在讨论中；D．in progress在进行中。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段中的The IPCC's sixth report was broader in approach than previous studies—looking in-depth for the first time at the role played in warming by short-term greenhouse gases such as methane（甲烷），for instance.（IPCC的第六份报告在方法上比以前的研究更广泛——首次深入研究了甲烷等短期温室气体在变暖中所起的作用）可知，在IPCC的第六份报告中第一次深入研究了甲烷在气候变暖中的作用，由此可以推断，在这之前，未提到过甲烷对气候变暖带来的影响。故选B。
（4）细节理解题。根据最后一段中的This would include taking measures such as switching to a more plant—based diet （to reduce methane emissions），controlling population growth，reducing financial inequality and developing means by which we might remove CO，that's already in our atmosphere，rather than simply preventing it being released.（这将包括采取措施，例如改用更多植物性饮食（以减少甲烷排放），控制人口增长，减少金融不平等以及开发我们可以去除已经在我们大气中的一氧化碳的方法，而不是简单地阻止它被释放）可知，提到的适应性路径有转向更多的植物性饮食、控制人口增长、减少财政不平等以及开发方法解决已经存在大气中的CO。故选C。
本文是一篇说明文。主要分析了联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）发布的第六份气候变化报告，这份报告既令人沮丧，又给人们以希望。
阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。
12~15.【答案】C、A、C、A
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据文章第三段 Years ago，I realized that I disliked hard work.Don't get me wrong，I don't mind working hard.but hard work isn't for me.What's the difference？For a start，hard work feels as if it never really gets going.You canpush hard work and it might move a little but there's no celebratory moment when it gets done.（几年前，我意识到我不喜欢艰苦的工作。不要误解我，我不介意努力工作。但是努力工作不适合我。有什么区别？首先，艰苦的工作似乎永远不会真正开始。你可以推动艰苦的工作，它可能会移动一点，但当它完成时没有庆祝的时刻。）可知C．She is conflicted about living a sensible life.（她对过明智的生活感到矛盾。）符合题意。故选C项。
（2）代词指代题。根据第一段You have been a sensible adult living your sensible life.（你是一个过着理性生活的成年人）以及第二段decided to focus on the ones that provided the most money（决定专注于那些能挣很多钱的事）还有used up my energy（耗尽了我的精力）可知，第二段划下划线的词it指的是过非常理性的生活，故选A项。
（3）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段However，for me，it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it and scary enough to make me feel it's worthwhile.（然而，对我来说它处在最好的状态：足够快乐让我想去做它；足够害怕让我感觉它是值得的）可知，作者认为写浪漫小说很难，但是收获颇丰，故选C项。
（4）标题归纳题。根据文章第一段You have been a sensible adult living your sensible life.So why does it feel like such hard work？（你是一个过着理性生活的成年人，为什么感觉工作这么困难呢？）以及倒数第二段However，for me，it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it and scary enough to make me feel it's worthwhile.（然而，对我来说它处在最好的状态：足够快乐让我想去做它；足够害怕让我感觉它是值得的）可知，本文讲的是作者以前不愿意做那些看起来困难的事情，但是生活感到不如意，尝试做那些看起来困难的事情以后，一切进展顺利，与A项"Works like a dream（进展顺利）"表达的含义一致，故选A项。
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者本人不愿意做看起来困难的事情，但感觉生活很艰难，后来在尝试做困难的事情以后，逐渐找到了人生的快乐。

16~20.【答案】C、E、G、B、D

（4）细节理解题。根据空前Work out who can give you a hand.（找出谁能帮到你。）可知我们要找到能帮助自己的人，根据空后Pick those who can empathize with you or help with your goal.（选择那些能同情你或帮助你实现目标的人。）可知我们要选择能够和自己共情的人进行抱怨，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是不要一直对同一个人帮不了你的人进行抱怨，B项（不要向同一个人抱怨。）指出不能一直对同一个人抱怨，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选B项。
（5）段落主题题空处为本段主题句，应对空后内容进行概括。根据空后Whatever your complaining，it'll make for your improvement when used correctly and effectively.（无论你抱怨什么，如果正确有效地使用，它都会有助于你的进步。）可知此处讲的是应该与别人多联系，所以空处应该是与社交有关的主题句，D项（与他人交往，让抱怨成为可能。）告诉我们要和别人进行交往，从而让抱怨成为一种可能，概括本段主要内容，符合上下文语境。故选D项。
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是如果我们对通常被看做消极的抱怨进行完善的话就会有美好的事情发生。

2.瞻前顾后，避难就易。在理解文章大意的情况下，结合各选项的意义和用法，遵循先易后难的原则，先解决那些自己有把握的问题。对少数难题，暂时跳过，或许在上文中难以判断的题在下文中就有暗示或者明显的提示，或许一个在前面不能解答的题在填出了另一空后会令你豁然开朗。
3.复读全文，解决残敌。借助已经补全的空格，对全文有了更清楚的理解，可以集中解决所遗留的少数疑难问题。
4.再次复读，弥补疏漏，全部做好后，务必要结合自己选择的答案重新阅读短文内容，确保全文文意连贯。

（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
