第二部分  阅读(共两节，满分50分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

Switzerland, as the first place in Europe to develop winter tourism, has a long skiing tradition. A long ski season, terrific snow conditions, and large, well-developed resort areas make Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers from around the world.

Where to Ski as a Beginner

Saas-Fee: You can find plenty of English-speaking ski schools in Saas-Fee and lots of bunny slopes (初学者滑雪道) on which to master your turns. The beginner ski area is separate, so you can practice without getting in the way of other skiers.

Grindelwald: Grindelwald is a great choice for families, with plenty of ski schools and several bunny slopes, such as the Bodmi practice area, which is fit for children. Once you’re ready to head up the mountain, about 30 percent of Grindelwald’s runs are rated blue, meaning they’re on the easier side.

Summer Skiing

Incredible as it may seem, it’s actually possible to ski in Switzerland during the summer months thanks to the presence of several glaciers where it’s winter year-round. Zermatt is home to the Theodul glacier (冰川). With 13 miles (21 kilometers) of runs, it’s the largest summer ski area in Europe and attracts professional skiers looking to train year-round. The glacier slopes here are beautifully scenic and offer skiers up-close views of the Matterhorn.

Budget Travel Tips

Avoid peak season: Visit during the start or end of the ski season.

Self-cater: If you rent a small apartment or home with kitchen facilities, you can prepare some of your own meals to save dining expenses.

Enjoy the snow without skiing every day: Ice skating, tobogganing (乘坐平底雪橇), winter hiking, or just having a snowball fight are all more affordable ways to enjoy the Swiss winter landscape.

21. What makes Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers?

A. Being the first winter tourist destination. B. Having the longest skiing tradition.

C. The support of skiers from the world. D. Superb natural conditions and accommodations.

22. Which group will be interested in Grindelwald?

A. Professional athletes. B. Summer skiers.

C. Family tourists. D. Budget travelers.

23. Where will skiers go for summer skiing?

A. Saas-Fee. B. Bodmi. C. Zermatt. D. Matterhorn.

B

It is often said that high school is one of the most important stages as an individual will experience, and is often seen as a critical and life-shaping time. During this period, people often begin to discover what is meaningful to them and how they plan to continue living their life. Volunteering at St. Clare’s Hospital has helped me form this positive experience during my high school years.

When I first began volunteering, I was very nervous about meeting new people and being pushed outside of my comfort zone. The beginning of my volunteer experience I was rather timid and not very outgoing. Fortunately, as time went by, I discovered how to introduce myself to new volunteers, to go out of my way to make patients feel welcome, and to extend the hand of friendship to others. I have learned to respect diversity, which turns out to be particularly helpful in the real world.

My volunteering experience at the hospital has led me to believe that my love and sympathy for the sick can brighten up the day of those lonely patients. There is another valuable lesson I have learned from the volunteer program: The significance of “service” involves making a difference in the lives of others and contributing to the community. Now I feel content each time I finish my shift. This positive feeling has motivated me to continue carrying on this worthwhile cause, and has become something that I view as having irreplaceable importance to my life.

It’s a great pity that many teenagers in my generation have not had experiences similar to my own and therefore missed out on some of the important lessons that can be learned in life. Knowing that I made a positive impact on someone is an emotionally uplifting experience that can never be matched by money or fame. And, to the best of my ability, I will follow this path of service throughout my life.

24. What does the author say about high school?

A. It deserves to be taken seriously. B. It is often criticized by people.

C. It brings no significance to life. D. It is full of unplanned experiences.

25. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. The importance of diversity in the world. B. My changes brought by volunteering.

C. Friendship between volunteers and patients. D. Ways to help and respect patients.

26. What does the underlined word “timid” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Confident. B. Shy. C. Brave. D. Calm.

27. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To call on the young to volunteer. B. To share his volunteer experiences.

C To explain the benefits of volunteering. D. To introduce suitable community work.

C

There is a profound relationship between science fiction and science. It is often said that stories change the world, what is less often heard is that stories change science, and therefore the future.

The use of science fiction to explore our world is similar to scenario (剧情) planning in Futures Studies, which shapes our ideas about the future, and goes beyond predicting artifacts that once seemed impossible to us like Verne’s submarine or the satellites of 2001 Space Odyssey.

In the words of Dutch researcher Sofia Kaloterakis, “Science fiction narratives structure our imaginative models about technoscientific projects such as robotics or space exploration”. Have you ever wondered how science fiction novels have impacted the idea we have about Artificial Intelligence or how Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson’s novel, has impacted what we now call the Metaverse (元宇宙)?

Science fiction helps us define possible futures. It provides us with an understanding of the rules underlying fictional worlds. It also allows us to put technological prototypes (原型) in the context of their use by humans. But most importantly, it determines the way we structure scientific thought and intervene (干预) in the future.

Alex McDowell, Creator of the Minority Report worldbuilding in 2002, and Peter von Stackelberg explain what fictional narratives can bring to the table:

The richness of “storyworlds” — the “universes” within which stories take place — provides us with detailed rules of the context in which a larger reality unfolds that extends beyond a single story, and has the potential to provide us with deeper learning about the underlying systems that regulate those worlds.

Lastly, the relationship of futures narratives to theories such as Social Constructivism has been highlighted by several scholars. A central idea of this sociological theory is that whenever we use words or other symbols to refer to objects in our world we are constructing them. And, therefore, prediction is also a social construction. In narrating we intervene in the world. In narrating the world, we construct it. In writing science fiction we intervene in the science of the future.

28. What is the text mainly about?

A. The storyworlds created by science fictions.

B. Artifacts and technologies in science fictions.

C. Science fiction narratives affecting future studies.

D. The relation between science and science fictions.

29. What is the most important role of science fiction?

A. It provides us with technologies and tools.

B. It allows us to establish reasonable future.

C. It decides our thinking and affects the future.

D. It helps us learn the rules of fictional world.

30. What do we know about “storyworlds”?

A. There are general rules for a single story.

B. They are the “universes” where stories happen.

C. There are no regulations or guiding systems.

D. They have a potential context within a story.

31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Science fiction narratives can construct future worlds.

B. The science of future intervenes in today’s science.

C. Objects can’t be constructed by words or symbols.

D. Scholars care little about narratives about future.

D

New research has shown that a fungus（真菌）skin could provide a new alternative to some plastics used in computer chips, making them easier to recycle. The researchers were working on new materials to replace plastics, when they made the discovery.

At the time, a member of the team had been looking at using fungus materials for use in other areas. This work led to the latest study， which shows how Ganoderma lucidum（灵芝） skin could work as an alternative.

The team discovered that Ganoderma lucidum, which grows on rotten hardwood trees, forms a skin to protect its growth medium (the wood). “It does so in order to protect itself,” Kaltenbrunner, one of the researchers, said, explaining that the team were able to get this protection by removing the skin and drying it. The skin is slightly less insulating（绝缘的） than plastics, but it still works safely and successfully, with a thickness similar to paper and the ability to stand temperatures over 200 ℃.

The skin has many qualities that make it different from other materials. Kaltenbrunner said, “But most importantly, it can grow in waste wood and does not need too much energy. ”The skin is very proper because it can last a long time if kept dry, but in just a standard family compost, it would break down entirely within two weeks or less,” he added.

While the team's work is experimental and a long way from being brought into use, they believe the skin could be a new alternative material for use in electronics. “There are large amounts of waste wood," Kaltenbrunner said, “which is a lot of food for Ganoderma lucidum.”

32.What is an advantage of the fungus skin?

A. It is thicker than plastics.            B. It can stand low temperatures.

C. It is environmentally friendly.           D. It can keep wet for a long time.

33.What is the researchers' attitude to the future of the fungus skin?

A. Uncertain.     B. Unfriendly.    C. Flexible.      D. Positive.

34.In which section of a newspaper can you read the text?

A. Geography.     B. Fashion.     C. Science.     D. Culture.

35.What may be the best title for the text?

A. An alternative to plastics       B. A new use of a fungus skin

C. The introduction to funguses    D. The function of fungus materials

第二节读后续写（满分25分）

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。

Sam was a junior high school student. He lived in a community in Charlotte and usually had little exposure to country life. So much of what he knew about plants came from text-books. Sam was a kind-hearted person. He longed for a chance to explore nature and he wanted to do his part to beautify the world.

Finally，the opportunity came. On Arbor Day（植树节），his class organized a trip to a local village to plant trees. Sam was excited about it and couldn't wait to tell his mom the good news. So the next day, Sam and his mom went to buy some tools for planting trees, including a shovel（铲），a bucket，gloves and so on.

On the day of the event, Sam and his classmates arrived early at the starting point. It was a beautiful day and everyone looked particularly happy. With the tools in hand, Sam got into the bus with everyone else and headed off to their destination.

As soon as they reached the village, all the students were divided into three teams by their teacher. One team was responsible for planting the trees, one team for shoveling the soil and one team for watering the trees. At the teacher's command, everyone started to do their job.

However, it was the first time that many of the students had taken part in planting trees, so they had no idea about how to start. Of course, Sam was one of them. Fortunately, their teacher was a middle-aged man from the countryside who had some knowledge of planting trees. In order to set an example to the students, the teacher started to plant trees himself. After watching the teacher plant the trees, everyone also became busy. Before long, they planted hundreds of trees. Sam watched very carefully, not wanting to miss any of the details. Finally, Sam learned how to plant trees by himself and felt happy.
