【答案】17. A 18. B 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】For most people, doing the laundry is a basic part of life. As long as clean clothes are in demand, a laundry business will be too. Though people always need clean clothes, many don’t have time to handle this elementary task. In fact, laundry is often thought to be the least favorable household chore, followed by cooking and sweeping. Considering the constant need for clean clothes, starting a business in the laundry industry can be a great option for a beginner.
Running your own laundry business does not require any specific qualification or experience. The most important thing is: It’s necessary to carry out local market research before you make a business plan or buy equipment. Such businesses are most popular in areas with lots of people or where people might not have their own washing machines, for example, the university campus and popular tourist spots.
You may want to run a laundry where customers wash their clothes using your machines. You can also offer services. For example, customers can drop off their laundry, and then pick it up when it’s done. You can also offer pick-up and delivery services. Whichever you choose, you’ll need washing and drying machines and many other essential things for the business. Keep all of these in mind when you set about calculating the initial costs.
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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
Temples have long served an important role since the early years of civilization. Whether you are seeking a sense of spiritual enlightenment or looking to learn more about a certain religion, these beautiful temples are worth a stop on your vacation.
Paro Taktsang in the Paro Valley, Bhutan
Situated on a steep cliff in Bhutan’s Paro Valley, the “Tiger’s Nest” earned its nickname from an 18th-century tale detailing Buddhist master Padmasambhava arriving to the site on a flying tiger. The journey to the cliffside is quite the challenge, requiring guests to climb two hours on a steep trail.
Seiganto-ji in Nachikatsuura, Japan
Neighboring the tallest waterfall and set against the lush trees of Nachi, Seiganto-ji dates back to the 4th century. Seiganto-ji is now the first stop on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage, where individuals travel to 33 Buddhist temples throughout the Kansai region of Japan.
Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong
This Buddhist and Taoist temple was built to honor the god of literature and the god of war, and the inscriptions found in the temple hall imply its construction may have taken place around 1847. It is still highly active and visited by local worshippers, so it’s asked that any visitor coming to the temple is prohibited from taking photos out of respect.
Kek Lok Si Temple, Malaysia
Penang is often touted(吹捧) for its sandy beaches and emerald blue waters, but it’s also home to the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. A melting pot of cultures, the temple’s architecture showcases Chinese, Thai, and Burmese styles throughout its stunning seven stories. It’s estimated there are 10,000statues of Buddha depicted throughout its main pagodas(宝塔).
21. If you hope to enjoy a sea view, which temple is the best choice?
A. Paro Taktsang in the Paro Valley, Bhutan. B. Seiganto-ji in Nachikatsuura, Japan.
C. Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong. D. Kek Lok Si Temple, Malaysia.

B
Well, it isn’t a long story, but I wonder if you will really understand.
I used to be crazy about hunting. There’s a thrill in hunting, an excitement that comes over you when a deer crashes out of the bush. After hunting, you also feel great to show off with the boys.
It was like that the last time I was in the woods. I went up into the hills alone, heading for a well-used deer trail. Sure enough there were fresh tracks in the snow. Then I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid — how else can you explain it?
He must have known about men and guns. But he came closer, putting one foot before the other, slowly and purposefully. His big eyes never moved from my face. Well, that deer walked right up to me. Then he stopped and looked at me!
What happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly puppy comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head, right between the horns. And he liked to be scratched. That big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head like a young horse. In fact, he practically asked for more. I scratched his head and his nose poked at my shoulder. He didn’t even tremble. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.
There’s very little more to tell. I picked up my thermos, and started walking back. I was about half way back when I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam a few seconds later. Those two shoots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.
Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head...
24. Why did the author mention his craze for hunting?
A. To present a cause. B. To illustrate an idea.
C. To make a contrast. D. To explain a phenomenon.
25. Why did the author change his mind and let the deer go?
A. The deer was stupid. B. The author was not prepared.
C. Their interaction softened the author. D. The deer fooled the author into doing that.
26. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The deer was probably killed. B. The deer was alert to human beings.
C. The author is an inexperienced hunter. D. The author was happy that the deer ran away.
27. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Man and Nature. B. No Buying, No Killing!
C. An Encounter with a Deer. D. Why Did I Quit Hunting?
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者以前喜欢打猎，但上一次打猎和一只鹿之间的温馨互动让作者心软，不忍再去伤害，最后放走了那只鹿的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。第二段中“I used to be crazy about hunting.(我以前很喜欢打猎)”提到作者以前很喜欢打猎，根据第五段中“Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.(射杀他吗？不是我。在那之后你也不会。我只是看着他离开。)”可知，作者上次打猎时没有射杀那只鹿，而只是看着他离开，所以作者提到自己以前喜欢打猎是为了与下文的反转形成对比，故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Just as when a friendly puppy comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head, right between the horns.(就像一只友好的小狗靠近你时，我伸手抓了抓它的头，就在两角之间)”和“I scratched his head and his nose poked at my shoulder. He didn’t even tremble.(我抓着他的头，他的鼻子戳着我的肩膀。他甚至没有颤抖)”以及最后一段“Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head...( 那些猎人永远不会知道他们可以抓他的头……)”可知，作者和鹿之间的互动使作者心软，不忍心去伤害鹿，所以才放他走，故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“I was about half way back when I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam a few seconds later. Those two shoots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.(我快走到一半的时候，听到两声枪响，几秒钟后是一声沉闷的砰的一声。这两枪通常意味着一枪毙命。那天我忘了还有其他猎人)”可知，那只鹿可能被其他猎人猎杀了，故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，第一段“Well, it isn’t a long story, but I wonder if you will really understand.(这说来话长，但我想知道你是否真的能理解。)”以及最后一段“Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head...(那些猎人永远不会知道他们本可以挠挠他的头……）”可知，文章主要讲述作者以前喜欢打猎，但上一次打猎和一只鹿之间的温馨互动让作者心软，不忍再去伤害，最后放走了那只鹿的故事，故D项“为什么我不再打猎？”为最佳标题。故选D。
C
Last September, several hundred tomato lovers gathered on a sunny, breezy day in Portland, Ore. for Tomato Fest. Agricultural researcher Matt Davis was handing out samples of experimental tomatoes which were dry-farmed.
Dry-farming, a form of agriculture that doesn’t require irrigation, has roots stretching back millennia. But in the 20th century, the practice largely fell out of widespread use. Today, however, farmers are once again experimenting with dry farming as they struggle with water shortages, which are being exacerbated by rising temperatures and more frequent and intense droughts linked to climate change.
It’s a common misconception that dry farming means growing plants without water. Instead, dry-farmed plants take up moisture stored in the ground rather than sprinkled (洒) from above. Thus, sites must generally receive more than 50 centimeters of annual precipitation (降水量) to create moisture in the soil, and the soil must be composed of fine grains that help preserve that water over time.
Dry farming won’t solve all of agriculture’s woes, but it offers a way forward. Farmers have noticed that dry-farmed plots contain only about a fifth of the weeds that grow in irrigated plots. Not having to pull up as many weeds can translate into labor savings. Coupled with not having to manage irrigation facilities, dry farming can simplify a growing operation.
In 2016 and 2017, Alex Stone and Jennifer Wetzel from Oregon State University grew different varieties of winter squash in Corvallis. The pair irrigated some vegetable fields and dry-farmed others. After harvesting the squash and leaving them in storage for four months, they found that about 80% of the roughly 1,250 dry-farmed winter squash were still marketable while the number dropped to 50% out of the roughly 1,150 irrigated winter squash.
“You get to really learn what the environment gives you, and you learn to respond accordingly.” Michael Johnson, a specialist at the University of Arizona says, “A relationship develops between the cropping system and the farmer. It’s a beautiful thing that needs to be cherished.”
28. What does the underlined word “exacerbated” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Highlighted. B. Worsened. C. Relieved. D. Improved.
29. What can we know about dry-farming?
A. It helps grow plants without water.
B. It enjoyed great popularity in the 20th century.
C. It has certain requirements for the composition of soil.
D. It is an effective method to address environmental problems.
30. What did Stone and Wetzel discover about dry-farming in their experiment?
A. Its produce contains less water. B. Its overall yields tend to be higher.
C. It makes the growing process simpler. D. It tends to yield longer-preserved produce.
31. What is Johnson’s attitude towards dry farming?
A. Conservative. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Skeptical.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了旱作农业的历史以及种植特点。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“they struggle with water shortages(他们正在与水资源短缺作斗争)”以及后文“by rising temperatures and more frequent and intense droughts linked to climate change（由于气温上升和与气候变化有关的更频繁和更强烈的干旱）”可知，农民在努力解决水资源短缺问题，而气温上升和与气候变化有关的更频繁和更严重的干旱使得水资源短缺问题更糟糕了。故划线词意思是“更糟”。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Thus, sites must generally receive more than 50 centimeters of annual precipitation (降水量) to create moisture in the soil, and the soil must be composed of fine grains that help preserve that water over time.(因此，这些地点通常每年必须有超过50厘米的降水来为土壤创造水分，而且土壤必须由细颗粒组成，以帮助长期保存水分)”可知，旱作农业对土壤成分有一定的要求。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“After harvesting the squash and leaving them in storage for four months, they found that about 80% of the roughly 1,250 dry-farmed winter squash were still marketable while the number dropped to 50% out of the roughly 1,150 irrigated winter squash.(在收获南瓜并将其储存四个月后，他们发现大约1250个旱作南瓜中约有80%仍然可以销售，而在大约1150个灌溉南瓜中，这一数字下降到50%)”可知，斯通和韦策尔在他们的实验中发现了旱作农业常常可以生产保存时间更长的农产品。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A relationship develops between the cropping system and the farmer. It’s a beautiful thing that needs to be cherished.(在耕作制度和农民之间形成了一种关系。这是一件需要珍惜的美好的事情)”可推知，约翰逊对旱作农业的态度是支持。故选C。
D
A growing body of research suggests that the gut microbiome (消化道菌群) could play a major role in a rising chronic disease that makes us physically weaker. The illness, which is commonly called chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), is characterized by intense fatigue, gastrointestinal (胃肠道的) issues, muscle pain, and cognitive challenges such as headaches and difficulty concentrating, among other symptoms. It often follows a viral infection which can lead to a “disruption” in a balanced gut ecosystem. Actually, an increasing number of Americans have been the sufferers since the outbreak of COVID-19.
Two recent studies published in Cell Host &Microbe point to changes in the microbiome as a possible cause of CFS. Research groups at Columbia University and the Jackson Laboratory performed detailed analyses of the microbes in stool (粪便) samples from patients with CFS and compared them to healthy controls.
The two groups found similar bacteria species were less present in CFS patients compared to control patients. They focused on bacteria that produce butyrate, a fatty acid involved in regulating metabolism and the immune system. “Butyrate plays several roles in directing the body’s response to infections, while also protecting the barrier between the intestine (肠) and the circulatory system, regulating genetic changes in cells, and more,” says Brent Williams, lead author on the Columbia study. Williams and his colleagues extensively analyzed the role of butyrate in CFS patients’ guts, even identifying a correlation between low levels of bacteria that produce this acid and more severe symptoms.
Parallel findings from the Jackson Laboratory team suggest the bacteria that produce butyrate could be used to diagnose CFS. Previous research has identified microbiome issues in CFS patients, but the new findings help clarify which microbes could be related to the illness.
More research on butyrate-producing bacteria and other species identified in the studies is necessary to investigate these potential biomarkers of CFS, the authors say. If the findings are replicated, specific gut bacteria could be used to diagnose the illness, which is currently identified based on symptoms alone.
The findings additionally point toward possible treatments, such as probiotics or microbiome-focused diet adjustments—though patients who have been sick for long periods may require drugs that alleviate the damage done to their metabolism or immune system.
32. What do we know about CFS?
A. It is caused by COVID-19 only. B. It is an illness with systemic symptoms.
C. It breaks the balance of the gut ecosystem. D. The number of the infected is on the decrease.
33 How did the researcher carry out the recent studies?
A. By controlling data. B. By identifying genes.
C. By analyzing samples. D. By comparing symptoms.
34. Which of the following is NOT the significance of the recent researches?
A. Butyrate’s multiple functions are promoted.
B. Targeted gut microbes may be used to diagnose CFS.
C. Certain microbes responsible for CFS are narrowed down.
D. Probiotics supplement with drugs can be a treatment for CFS.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Gut microbiome may be the key to CFS. B. Microbes help digest food and aid absorption.
C. Man’s gut is a rich, diverse tropical rainforest. D. New method for diagnosing CFS are provided.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. A

What is your moral compass?
Morality is what defines whether an action is perceived as good or bad.

· Post-Conventional phase: Moral decisions are made from the perspective of individual rights.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是道德指南针、道德准则如何发展以及如何找到自己的道德指南针。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Your moral compass, conscience, and ethics may all sound like the same set of values, but your moral compass can sometimes steer you away from rigid societal laws. Thus, when you’re faced with a decision, how you react is often driven by personal values you’ve acquired. (你的道德指南针、良心和伦理可能听起来都是同一套价值观，但你的道德指南针有时会引导你远离严格的社会法律。因此，当你面临一个决定时，你的反应通常是由你已经获得的个人价值观驱动的)”可知，上文提到面临决定个人价值观会影响反应，说明价值观会构成道德指南针。故G选项“其中一些价值观会影响你的判断，从而构成你的道德指南针”符合语境，故选G。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Morality is what defines whether an action is perceived as good or bad. Morals guide your individual behavior within a society, which aren’t fixed. (道德定义了一个行为是好是坏。道德在社会中指导你的个人行为，这是不固定的)”可知，本句承接上文说明道德发生改变的情况。故F选项“当你面对新的经历和获得人生教训时，它们可能会改变”符合语境，故选F。
【38题详解】
根据后文“According to modern psychologists, moral development is a part of three phases in childhood. (现代心理学家认为，道德发展是童年三个阶段的一部分)”可知，本部分的主旨是道德准则是如何发展的。故A选项“你的道德准则是如何发展？”符合语境，故选A。
【39题详解】
根据后文“You may also find it helpful to speak with people who can engage in open discussions about their moral positions. (你可能还会发现，与那些能够公开讨论自己道德立场的人交谈是很有帮助的)”可知，后文提到了与能够公开讨论自己道德立场的人交谈，即通过周围的社会了解自己道德准则。故E选项“另一种方法是了解你周围的社会”符合语境，故选E。
【40题详解】
根据后文“It is what guides your behavior in times when societal rules regarding human rights and conduct conflict with your beliefs. Just hold it firmly and properly. (当有关人权和行为的社会规则与你的信仰发生冲突时，它会指导你的行为。只要牢牢地握好就行了)”可知，本段主要说明了道德指南针可以指导个人行为。故B选项“你的道德指南针是你的个人指导”符合语境，故选B。

【56题详解】
考查动词短语。句意：位于安徽省南部的黄山后坑村海拔约800米，毗邻风景如画的太平湖，这里似乎受到了大自然的庇荫，是各种手工茶的故乡。分析句子可知，此处为动词短语seem to do“似乎做某事”，主语Houkeng village和动词bless为被动关系，所以为被动语态结构。故填to be blessed。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意：每年春天，当雾气笼罩着翠绿的山坡时，村民们知道他们的收成就要到来了。根据句意可知，此处为连词when“当……时候”引导的时间状语从句，满足句意要求。故填when。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意：没有合适的位置、品种和加工技术这三个关键因素，就不会有完美的太平猴魁。根据句意以及空后的any of three key factors名词短语可知，此处为介词Without“没有”，满足句意要求。故填Without。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这是我们家的标志。根据句意以及空后signature为单数名词可知，此处为表示泛指“一个标志”为泛指概念，结合signature发音以辅音音素开头，所以为不定冠词a的填入。故填a。
【60题详解】
考查动名词复合结构。句意：猴魁茶的叶子特别大，经常让第一次观看的人误认为是“蔬菜”，但在方看来，这种绿茶“王”胜过其他品种的不仅仅是大小。分析句子可知，此处为动名词复合结构one’s doing sth作lead to的宾语，由mistake和逻辑主语Kowkui’s leaves为被动关系，所以为被动语态结构。故填being mistaken。
【61题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：猴魁茶的叶子特别大，经常让第一次观看的人误认为是“蔬菜”，但在方看来，这种绿茶“王”胜过其他品种的不仅仅是大小。根据句意以及空前other可知，此处为名词复数形式varieties“品种”，满足句意要求。故填varieties。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意：它的香味和味道也很突出，这要归功于耗时的加工工作。由空前Its形容词性物主代词可知，此处为名词形式，和and连接的flavor保持并列结构。故填fragrance。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：去年11月，中国传统茶叶加工技术及相关社会实践被列入联合国教科文组织《人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录》。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，主语techniques and associated social practices为复数意义名词和动词add为被动关系，结合上下文时态可知，此处应为过去时，所以为一般过去时的被动语态结构。故填were added。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意：安徽省茶文化研究会副会长郑毅表示：“茶文化不仅反映了一种精致的生活品味，还展示了工艺之美和人们的创造力。”根据句意可知，此处为连词and连接的craftsmanship和creativity两个名词，构成并列结构。故填and。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：几个世纪以来，茶叶的香味为这片土地提供了营养。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，由For centuries可知，应为现在完成时或者现在完成进行时，主语the scent of tea leaves为单数名词，所以为动词第三人称单数形式。故填has offered/has been offering。

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。
“BEES ARE DYING!” Doodlebug Pinkley cried, thrusting his latest copy of World of the Weird at his sister Dandelion. His favorite magazine had a lot of strange but important content. This month it was insects in danger. The number of certain bugs, including bees, was falling sharply all over the world.
“It’s terrible!” Dandelion replied, after reading the article. They were sitting on the outdoor patio (露台) of Cool Yule’s Ice Cream Shop.
“Maybe we could make a bee roof garden, too — like in this article,” Doodlebug suggested. Yule recommended making it on the patio, adding a pollinator (传粉昆虫) garden up there would attract bees — and more customers. “Brilliant!” Everyone else responded in a chorus.
Now the problem was how to get the funds. Dandelion proposed raising money by setting up a booth near the shop’s entrance to alert people and ask them to donate. The plan was a go!
The next day their friends Bog, Tomiko and Izzy met Doodlebug and Dandelion inside Yule’s. Everyone was excited. They made handouts explaining how the garden would attract pollinators, do something to help prevent flooding, and improve the air.
“We should have a bee mascot (吉祥物),” Izzy suggested. Doodlebug recalled the old bee costume that his Mom wore for Halloween once. Over the enthusiastic uproar, Dandelion shouted, “And you’ll be the bee, Doodlebug!” “WILL NOT!” Doodlebug shot back. “Too big. We need to stuff some grownup into that costume.” But who, then? For ten mad minutes the kids debated loudly.
“Silence, you little noisy kids!” someone suddenly roared. “I’m trying to read about bees in danger!” The whole crew turned in shock. There sat Doodlebug’s horrible teacher, Mrs. Noodleknocker. Doodlebug had discovered long ago that she was a World of the Weird fan, but that didn’t make her any nicer. “Bees and butterflies need help!” Mrs. Noodleknocker cried. “But a person can’t even worry about them peacefully!”
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。
Paragraph 1: Doodlebug’s eyes went wide as a brilliant idea came to mind.

Paragraph 2: The bee campaign was a massive success!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Students’ Union
【答案】 Doodlebug’s eyes went wide as a brilliant idea came to mind. “THE BEE!” he exclaimed and pointed at Mrs. Noodleknocker, only to be greeted with a glare. Dandelion detailed their plan and asked her to be the bee mascot. After digesting the information, Mrs. Noodleknockerher had her irritable expression softened a bit. “Just forget it,” she said, turning back to her magazine. “Only real bees matter.” Tomiko responded boldly that this whole plan was indeed for real bees. “Please, lady?” Bog coaxed, adding her favor might double the fund. Mrs. Noodleknocker put down the magazine, a tiny smile glinting across her usually mean mouth. It had been a long time since anyone called her a lady. Finally, she snorted and gave in.
The bee campaign was a massive success! On the day of fundraising, Mrs. Noodleknocker rocked the bee costume in all her pollinator glory. Instead of threatening passers-by with a sting, the group decided a friendly bee was the right way to go. The following hours witnessed the bee buzzing around the booth, arms and legs punching and kicking. Whenever her strange insect eyes landed on someone, the victim quickly forked over cash — even without being stung. So hilarious and inspiring! A few weeks later Cool Yule’s bee garden bloomed spectacularly, attracting customers and good insects from all around. And Mrs. Noodleknocker was almost a nice person from then on. It proved that being a bee could be good for anyone.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Doodlebug和妹妹Dandelion在阅读了关于蜜蜂数量急剧下降的杂志后，决定在冰淇淋店打造一个蜜蜂屋顶花园，以吸引蜜蜂以及顾客，Dandelion提议在商店入口附近设立一个摊位来筹集资金，朋友Izzy建议增加一个蜜蜂吉祥物，Doodlebug想起妈妈在万圣节穿的旧蜜蜂服装，但是它太大了，正当孩子们争辩谁来穿这件蜜蜂服装时，可怕的老师Noodleknocker太太让他们安静一点，她也在阅读这本关于蜜蜂的杂志。

【答案】17. A 18. B 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】For most people, doing the laundry is a basic part of life. As long as clean clothes are in demand, a laundry business will be too. Though people always need clean clothes, many don’t have time to handle this elementary task. In fact, laundry is often thought to be the least favorable household chore, followed by cooking and sweeping. Considering the constant need for clean clothes, starting a business in the laundry industry can be a great option for a beginner.
Running your own laundry business does not require any specific qualification or experience. The most important thing is: It’s necessary to carry out local market research before you make a business plan or buy equipment. Such businesses are most popular in areas with lots of people or where people might not have their own washing machines, for example, the university campus and popular tourist spots.
You may want to run a laundry where customers wash their clothes using your machines. You can also offer services. For example, customers can drop off their laundry, and then pick it up when it’s done. You can also offer pick-up and delivery services. Whichever you choose, you’ll need washing and drying machines and many other essential things for the business. Keep all of these in mind when you set about calculating the initial costs.

A
Temples have long served an important role since the early years of civilization. Whether you are seeking a sense of spiritual enlightenment or looking to learn more about a certain religion, these beautiful temples are worth a stop on your vacation.
Paro Taktsang in the Paro Valley, Bhutan
Situated on a steep cliff in Bhutan’s Paro Valley, the “Tiger’s Nest” earned its nickname from an 18th-century tale detailing Buddhist master Padmasambhava arriving to the site on a flying tiger. The journey to the cliffside is quite the challenge, requiring guests to climb two hours on a steep trail.
Seiganto-ji in Nachikatsuura, Japan
Neighboring the tallest waterfall and set against the lush trees of Nachi, Seiganto-ji dates back to the 4th century. Seiganto-ji is now the first stop on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage, where individuals travel to 33 Buddhist temples throughout the Kansai region of Japan.
Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong
This Buddhist and Taoist temple was built to honor the god of literature and the god of war, and the inscriptions found in the temple hall imply its construction may have taken place around 1847. It is still highly active and visited by local worshippers, so it’s asked that any visitor coming to the temple is prohibited from taking photos out of respect.
Kek Lok Si Temple, Malaysia
Penang is often touted(吹捧) for its sandy beaches and emerald blue waters, but it’s also home to the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. A melting pot of cultures, the temple’s architecture showcases Chinese, Thai, and Burmese styles throughout its stunning seven stories. It’s estimated there are 10,000statues of Buddha depicted throughout its main pagodas(宝塔).
21. If you hope to enjoy a sea view, which temple is the best choice?
A. Paro Taktsang in the Paro Valley, Bhutan. B. Seiganto-ji in Nachikatsuura, Japan.

Well, it isn’t a long story, but I wonder if you will really understand.
I used to be crazy about hunting. There’s a thrill in hunting, an excitement that comes over you when a deer crashes out of the bush. After hunting, you also feel great to show off with the boys.
It was like that the last time I was in the woods. I went up into the hills alone, heading for a well-used deer trail. Sure enough there were fresh tracks in the snow. Then I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid — how else can you explain it?
He must have known about men and guns. But he came closer, putting one foot before the other, slowly and purposefully. His big eyes never moved from my face. Well, that deer walked right up to me. Then he stopped and looked at me!
What happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly puppy comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head, right between the horns. And he liked to be scratched. That big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head like a young horse. In fact, he practically asked for more. I scratched his head and his nose poked at my shoulder. He didn’t even tremble. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.
There’s very little more to tell. I picked up my thermos, and started walking back. I was about half way back when I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam a few seconds later. Those two shoots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.
Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head...
24. Why did the author mention his craze for hunting?
A. To present a cause. B. To illustrate an idea.
C. To make a contrast. D. To explain a phenomenon.
25. Why did the author change his mind and let the deer go?
A. The deer was stupid. B. The author was not prepared.
C. Their interaction softened the author. D. The deer fooled the author into doing that.
26. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The deer was probably killed. B. The deer was alert to human beings.
C. The author is an inexperienced hunter. D. The author was happy that the deer ran away.
27. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Man and Nature. B. No Buying, No Killing!
C. An Encounter with a Deer. D. Why Did I Quit Hunting?
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. D

【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者以前喜欢打猎，但上一次打猎和一只鹿之间的温馨互动让作者心软，不忍再去伤害，最后放走了那只鹿的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。第二段中“I used to be crazy about hunting.(我以前很喜欢打猎)”提到作者以前很喜欢打猎，根据第五段中“Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.(射杀他吗？不是我。在那之后你也不会。我只是看着他离开。)”可知，作者上次打猎时没有射杀那只鹿，而只是看着他离开，所以作者提到自己以前喜欢打猎是为了与下文的反转形成对比，故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Just as when a friendly puppy comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head, right between the horns.(就像一只友好的小狗靠近你时，我伸手抓了抓它的头，就在两角之间)”和“I scratched his head and his nose poked at my shoulder. He didn’t even tremble.(我抓着他的头，他的鼻子戳着我的肩膀。他甚至没有颤抖)”以及最后一段“Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head...( 那些猎人永远不会知道他们可以抓他的头……)”可知，作者和鹿之间的互动使作者心软，不忍心去伤害鹿，所以才放他走，故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“I was about half way back when I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam a few seconds later. Those two shoots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.(我快走到一半的时候，听到两声枪响，几秒钟后是一声沉闷的砰的一声。这两枪通常意味着一枪毙命。那天我忘了还有其他猎人)”可知，那只鹿可能被其他猎人猎杀了，故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，第一段“Well, it isn’t a long story, but I wonder if you will really understand.(这说来话长，但我想知道你是否真的能理解。)”以及最后一段“Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head...(那些猎人永远不会知道他们本可以挠挠他的头……）”可知，文章主要讲述作者以前喜欢打猎，但上一次打猎和一只鹿之间的温馨互动让作者心软，不忍再去伤害，最后放走了那只鹿的故事，故D项“为什么我不再打猎？”为最佳标题。故选D。
C
Last September, several hundred tomato lovers gathered on a sunny, breezy day in Portland, Ore. for Tomato Fest. Agricultural researcher Matt Davis was handing out samples of experimental tomatoes which were dry-farmed.
Dry-farming, a form of agriculture that doesn’t require irrigation, has roots stretching back millennia. But in the 20th century, the practice largely fell out of widespread use. Today, however, farmers are once again experimenting with dry farming as they struggle with water shortages, which are being exacerbated by rising temperatures and more frequent and intense droughts linked to climate change.
It’s a common misconception that dry farming means growing plants without water. Instead, dry-farmed plants take up moisture stored in the ground rather than sprinkled (洒) from above. Thus, sites must generally receive more than 50 centimeters of annual precipitation (降水量) to create moisture in the soil, and the soil must be composed of fine grains that help preserve that water over time.
Dry farming won’t solve all of agriculture’s woes, but it offers a way forward. Farmers have noticed that dry-farmed plots contain only about a fifth of the weeds that grow in irrigated plots. Not having to pull up as many weeds can translate into labor savings. Coupled with not having to manage irrigation facilities, dry farming can simplify a growing operation.
In 2016 and 2017, Alex Stone and Jennifer Wetzel from Oregon State University grew different varieties of winter squash in Corvallis. The pair irrigated some vegetable fields and dry-farmed others. After harvesting the squash and leaving them in storage for four months, they found that about 80% of the roughly 1,250 dry-farmed winter squash were still marketable while the number dropped to 50% out of the roughly 1,150 irrigated winter squash.
“You get to really learn what the environment gives you, and you learn to respond accordingly.” Michael Johnson, a specialist at the University of Arizona says, “A relationship develops between the cropping system and the farmer. It’s a beautiful thing that needs to be cherished.”
28. What does the underlined word “exacerbated” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Highlighted. B. Worsened. C. Relieved. D. Improved.
29. What can we know about dry-farming?
A. It helps grow plants without water.
B. It enjoyed great popularity in the 20th century.
C. It has certain requirements for the composition of soil.
D. It is an effective method to address environmental problems.
30. What did Stone and Wetzel discover about dry-farming in their experiment?
A. Its produce contains less water. B. Its overall yields tend to be higher.
C. It makes the growing process simpler. D. It tends to yield longer-preserved produce.
31. What is Johnson’s attitude towards dry farming?
A. Conservative. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Skeptical.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了旱作农业的历史以及种植特点。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“they struggle with water shortages(他们正在与水资源短缺作斗争)”以及后文“by rising temperatures and more frequent and intense droughts linked to climate change（由于气温上升和与气候变化有关的更频繁和更强烈的干旱）”可知，农民在努力解决水资源短缺问题，而气温上升和与气候变化有关的更频繁和更严重的干旱使得水资源短缺问题更糟糕了。故划线词意思是“更糟”。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Thus, sites must generally receive more than 50 centimeters of annual precipitation (降水量) to create moisture in the soil, and the soil must be composed of fine grains that help preserve that water over time.(因此，这些地点通常每年必须有超过50厘米的降水来为土壤创造水分，而且土壤必须由细颗粒组成，以帮助长期保存水分)”可知，旱作农业对土壤成分有一定的要求。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“After harvesting the squash and leaving them in storage for four months, they found that about 80% of the roughly 1,250 dry-farmed winter squash were still marketable while the number dropped to 50% out of the roughly 1,150 irrigated winter squash.(在收获南瓜并将其储存四个月后，他们发现大约1250个旱作南瓜中约有80%仍然可以销售，而在大约1150个灌溉南瓜中，这一数字下降到50%)”可知，斯通和韦策尔在他们的实验中发现了旱作农业常常可以生产保存时间更长的农产品。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A relationship develops between the cropping system and the farmer. It’s a beautiful thing that needs to be cherished.(在耕作制度和农民之间形成了一种关系。这是一件需要珍惜的美好的事情)”可推知，约翰逊对旱作农业的态度是支持。故选C。
D
A growing body of research suggests that the gut microbiome (消化道菌群) could play a major role in a rising chronic disease that makes us physically weaker. The illness, which is commonly called chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), is characterized by intense fatigue, gastrointestinal (胃肠道的) issues, muscle pain, and cognitive challenges such as headaches and difficulty concentrating, among other symptoms. It often follows a viral infection which can lead to a “disruption” in a balanced gut ecosystem. Actually, an increasing number of Americans have been the sufferers since the outbreak of COVID-19.
Two recent studies published in Cell Host &Microbe point to changes in the microbiome as a possible cause of CFS. Research groups at Columbia University and the Jackson Laboratory performed detailed analyses of the microbes in stool (粪便) samples from patients with CFS and compared them to healthy controls.
The two groups found similar bacteria species were less present in CFS patients compared to control patients. They focused on bacteria that produce butyrate, a fatty acid involved in regulating metabolism and the immune system. “Butyrate plays several roles in directing the body’s response to infections, while also protecting the barrier between the intestine (肠) and the circulatory system, regulating genetic changes in cells, and more,” says Brent Williams, lead author on the Columbia study. Williams and his colleagues extensively analyzed the role of butyrate in CFS patients’ guts, even identifying a correlation between low levels of bacteria that produce this acid and more severe symptoms.
Parallel findings from the Jackson Laboratory team suggest the bacteria that produce butyrate could be used to diagnose CFS. Previous research has identified microbiome issues in CFS patients, but the new findings help clarify which microbes could be related to the illness.
More research on butyrate-producing bacteria and other species identified in the studies is necessary to investigate these potential biomarkers of CFS, the authors say. If the findings are replicated, specific gut bacteria could be used to diagnose the illness, which is currently identified based on symptoms alone.
The findings additionally point toward possible treatments, such as probiotics or microbiome-focused diet adjustments—though patients who have been sick for long periods may require drugs that alleviate the damage done to their metabolism or immune system.
32. What do we know about CFS?
A. It is caused by COVID-19 only. B. It is an illness with systemic symptoms.
C. It breaks the balance of the gut ecosystem. D. The number of the infected is on the decrease.
33 How did the researcher carry out the recent studies?
A. By controlling data. B. By identifying genes.
C. By analyzing samples. D. By comparing symptoms.
34. Which of the following is NOT the significance of the recent researches?
A. Butyrate’s multiple functions are promoted.
B. Targeted gut microbes may be used to diagnose CFS.
C. Certain microbes responsible for CFS are narrowed down.
D. Probiotics supplement with drugs can be a treatment for CFS.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Gut microbiome may be the key to CFS. B. Microbes help digest food and aid absorption.
C. Man’s gut is a rich, diverse tropical rainforest. D. New method for diagnosing CFS are provided.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. A

【36题详解】
根据上文“Your moral compass, conscience, and ethics may all sound like the same set of values, but your moral compass can sometimes steer you away from rigid societal laws. Thus, when you’re faced with a decision, how you react is often driven by personal values you’ve acquired. (你的道德指南针、良心和伦理可能听起来都是同一套价值观，但你的道德指南针有时会引导你远离严格的社会法律。因此，当你面临一个决定时，你的反应通常是由你已经获得的个人价值观驱动的)”可知，上文提到面临决定个人价值观会影响反应，说明价值观会构成道德指南针。故G选项“其中一些价值观会影响你的判断，从而构成你的道德指南针”符合语境，故选G。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Morality is what defines whether an action is perceived as good or bad. Morals guide your individual behavior within a society, which aren’t fixed. (道德定义了一个行为是好是坏。道德在社会中指导你的个人行为，这是不固定的)”可知，本句承接上文说明道德发生改变的情况。故F选项“当你面对新的经历和获得人生教训时，它们可能会改变”符合语境，故选F。
【38题详解】
根据后文“According to modern psychologists, moral development is a part of three phases in childhood. (现代心理学家认为，道德发展是童年三个阶段的一部分)”可知，本部分的主旨是道德准则是如何发展的。故A选项“你的道德准则是如何发展？”符合语境，故选A。
【39题详解】
根据后文“You may also find it helpful to speak with people who can engage in open discussions about their moral positions. (你可能还会发现，与那些能够公开讨论自己道德立场的人交谈是很有帮助的)”可知，后文提到了与能够公开讨论自己道德立场的人交谈，即通过周围的社会了解自己道德准则。故E选项“另一种方法是了解你周围的社会”符合语境，故选E。
【40题详解】
根据后文“It is what guides your behavior in times when societal rules regarding human rights and conduct conflict with your beliefs. Just hold it firmly and properly. (当有关人权和行为的社会规则与你的信仰发生冲突时，它会指导你的行为。只要牢牢地握好就行了)”可知，本段主要说明了道德指南针可以指导个人行为。故B选项“你的道德指南针是你的个人指导”符合语境，故选B。

【56题详解】
考查动词短语。句意：位于安徽省南部的黄山后坑村海拔约800米，毗邻风景如画的太平湖，这里似乎受到了大自然的庇荫，是各种手工茶的故乡。分析句子可知，此处为动词短语seem to do“似乎做某事”，主语Houkeng village和动词bless为被动关系，所以为被动语态结构。故填to be blessed。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意：每年春天，当雾气笼罩着翠绿的山坡时，村民们知道他们的收成就要到来了。根据句意可知，此处为连词when“当……时候”引导的时间状语从句，满足句意要求。故填when。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意：没有合适的位置、品种和加工技术这三个关键因素，就不会有完美的太平猴魁。根据句意以及空后的any of three key factors名词短语可知，此处为介词Without“没有”，满足句意要求。故填Without。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这是我们家的标志。根据句意以及空后signature为单数名词可知，此处为表示泛指“一个标志”为泛指概念，结合signature发音以辅音音素开头，所以为不定冠词a的填入。故填a。
【60题详解】
考查动名词复合结构。句意：猴魁茶的叶子特别大，经常让第一次观看的人误认为是“蔬菜”，但在方看来，这种绿茶“王”胜过其他品种的不仅仅是大小。分析句子可知，此处为动名词复合结构one’s doing sth作lead to的宾语，由mistake和逻辑主语Kowkui’s leaves为被动关系，所以为被动语态结构。故填being mistaken。
【61题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：猴魁茶的叶子特别大，经常让第一次观看的人误认为是“蔬菜”，但在方看来，这种绿茶“王”胜过其他品种的不仅仅是大小。根据句意以及空前other可知，此处为名词复数形式varieties“品种”，满足句意要求。故填varieties。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意：它的香味和味道也很突出，这要归功于耗时的加工工作。由空前Its形容词性物主代词可知，此处为名词形式，和and连接的flavor保持并列结构。故填fragrance。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：去年11月，中国传统茶叶加工技术及相关社会实践被列入联合国教科文组织《人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录》。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，主语techniques and associated social practices为复数意义名词和动词add为被动关系，结合上下文时态可知，此处应为过去时，所以为一般过去时的被动语态结构。故填were added。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意：安徽省茶文化研究会副会长郑毅表示：“茶文化不仅反映了一种精致的生活品味，还展示了工艺之美和人们的创造力。”根据句意可知，此处为连词and连接的craftsmanship和creativity两个名词，构成并列结构。故填and。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：几个世纪以来，茶叶的香味为这片土地提供了营养。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，由For centuries可知，应为现在完成时或者现在完成进行时，主语the scent of tea leaves为单数名词，所以为动词第三人称单数形式。故填has offered/has been offering。

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。
“BEES ARE DYING!” Doodlebug Pinkley cried, thrusting his latest copy of World of the Weird at his sister Dandelion. His favorite magazine had a lot of strange but important content. This month it was insects in danger. The number of certain bugs, including bees, was falling sharply all over the world.
“It’s terrible!” Dandelion replied, after reading the article. They were sitting on the outdoor patio (露台) of Cool Yule’s Ice Cream Shop.
“Maybe we could make a bee roof garden, too — like in this article,” Doodlebug suggested. Yule recommended making it on the patio, adding a pollinator (传粉昆虫) garden up there would attract bees — and more customers. “Brilliant!” Everyone else responded in a chorus.
Now the problem was how to get the funds. Dandelion proposed raising money by setting up a booth near the shop’s entrance to alert people and ask them to donate. The plan was a go!
The next day their friends Bog, Tomiko and Izzy met Doodlebug and Dandelion inside Yule’s. Everyone was excited. They made handouts explaining how the garden would attract pollinators, do something to help prevent flooding, and improve the air.
“We should have a bee mascot (吉祥物),” Izzy suggested. Doodlebug recalled the old bee costume that his Mom wore for Halloween once. Over the enthusiastic uproar, Dandelion shouted, “And you’ll be the bee, Doodlebug!” “WILL NOT!” Doodlebug shot back. “Too big. We need to stuff some grownup into that costume.” But who, then? For ten mad minutes the kids debated loudly.
“Silence, you little noisy kids!” someone suddenly roared. “I’m trying to read about bees in danger!” The whole crew turned in shock. There sat Doodlebug’s horrible teacher, Mrs. Noodleknocker. Doodlebug had discovered long ago that she was a World of the Weird fan, but that didn’t make her any nicer. “Bees and butterflies need help!” Mrs. Noodleknocker cried. “But a person can’t even worry about them peacefully!”
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。
Paragraph 1: Doodlebug’s eyes went wide as a brilliant idea came to mind.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Students’ Union
Paragraph 2: The bee campaign was a massive success!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Students’ Union
【答案】 Doodlebug’s eyes went wide as a brilliant idea came to mind. “THE BEE!” he exclaimed and pointed at Mrs. Noodleknocker, only to be greeted with a glare. Dandelion detailed their plan and asked her to be the bee mascot. After digesting the information, Mrs. Noodleknockerher had her irritable expression softened a bit. “Just forget it,” she said, turning back to her magazine. “Only real bees matter.” Tomiko responded boldly that this whole plan was indeed for real bees. “Please, lady?” Bog coaxed, adding her favor might double the fund. Mrs. Noodleknocker put down the magazine, a tiny smile glinting across her usually mean mouth. It had been a long time since anyone called her a lady. Finally, she snorted and gave in.
The bee campaign was a massive success! On the day of fundraising, Mrs. Noodleknocker rocked the bee costume in all her pollinator glory. Instead of threatening passers-by with a sting, the group decided a friendly bee was the right way to go. The following hours witnessed the bee buzzing around the booth, arms and legs punching and kicking. Whenever her strange insect eyes landed on someone, the victim quickly forked over cash — even without being stung. So hilarious and inspiring! A few weeks later Cool Yule’s bee garden bloomed spectacularly, attracting customers and good insects from all around. And Mrs. Noodleknocker was almost a nice person from then on. It proved that being a bee could be good for anyone.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Doodlebug和妹妹Dandelion在阅读了关于蜜蜂数量急剧下降的杂志后，决定在冰淇淋店打造一个蜜蜂屋顶花园，以吸引蜜蜂以及顾客，Dandelion提议在商店入口附近设立一个摊位来筹集资金，朋友Izzy建议增加一个蜜蜂吉祥物，Doodlebug想起妈妈在万圣节穿的旧蜜蜂服装，但是它太大了，正当孩子们争辩谁来穿这件蜜蜂服装时，可怕的老师Noodleknocker太太让他们安静一点，她也在阅读这本关于蜜蜂的杂志。
