In 2020, American National Youth Tobacco Survey found that more than 3.6 millon youth had used e-cigarettes. That means e-cigarette use has gone beyond traditional cigarette use in young people.
There are some reasons for that. Many young people are curious to try out some new flavors (味道) in e-cigarettes, like chocolate, lemon and strawberry. In fact, research has shown that the interesting flavors are what lead kids to experiment with e-cigarettes in the first place. Besides, when seeing some friends using them, the youth would probably have a try, too, believing that e-cigarettes are much cooler than traditional cigarettes. Last, they falsely believe me-cigarettes are harmless to their health since no smelly gases are produced in the process.
Many young users do not realize e-cigarettes have dangerously high levels of nicotine (尼古丁), sometimes as much as that of an entire pack of cigarettes, so that they are pretty harmful to their health and highly addictive. There has been a rise of stories in the media about kids who use e-cigarettes developing serious breathing problems. And nicotine may harm their developing brain, as brain development continues through about age 25. Also, nicotine can affect their ability to concentrate, learn and exercise.
Another huge risk is the fact that e-cigarettes blow up, thus causing serious injuries. According to a 2019 study from the U.S. Fire Department, e-cigarettes caused serious injuries to users including breaking their jaws (下巴 ) or knocking out their teeth. Meanwhile, another study found that injuries from e-cigarette use resulted in nearly 2,000 emergency room visits between 2018and 2020.
In the U.S, it is now illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to buy e-cigarettes. What's more, the government now requires e-cigarettes to contain a warning about the addictiveness of nicotine.
4. What is the major reason why teenagers begin to smoke e-cigarettes?
A. They want to copy what their friends have done.
B. They think using e-cigarettes makes them look cooler.
C. They believe e-cigarettes are much safer than cigarettes.
D. They are curious about the inviting flavors of e-cigarettes.
5. According to the passage，what may result in the concentration problem in young people?
A. Nicotine in e-cigarettes. B. Slow brain development.
C. Lack of physical exercise. D. Serious breathing problems.
6. Why does the author mention the two studies in Paragraph 4?
A. To prove his opinion. B. To compare different results.
C. To give detailed information. D. To explain research methods.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. E-cigarettes are rather harmful to young people. B. Many young people get addicted to e-cigarettes.
C. People under 21 are forbidden to use e-cigarettes. D. Risk awareness of e-cigarette smoking should be raised.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。美国全国青少年烟草调查发现，超过36万名青少年使用过电子烟，使用电子烟超越了传统的香烟使用，文章主要讲述了电子烟对年轻人的危害。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Many young people are curious to try out some new flavors（味道）in e-cigarettes, like chocolate, lemon and strawberry. In fact, research has shown that the interesting flavors are what lead kids to experiment with e-cigarettes in the first place.( 许多年轻人很好奇尝试电子烟中的新口味，比如巧克力、柠檬和草莓味道。事实上，研究表明，这些有趣的味道是导致孩子们尝试使用电子烟的首要原因。)”可知，青少年开始吸电子烟的主要原因是他们对电子烟的诱人味道很好奇。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“And nicotine may harm their developing brain, as brain development continues through about age 25. Also, nicotine can affect their ability to concentrate, learn and exercise.(尼古丁可能会损害他们正在发育的大脑，因为大脑发育会持续到25岁。此外，尼古丁还会影响他们集中注意力、学习和锻炼的能力。)”可知，电子烟中的尼古丁可能会导致年轻人的注意力的集中问题。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。第四段首句“Another huge risk is the fact that e-cigarettes blow up, thus causing serious injuries.(另一个巨大的风险是，电子烟会爆炸，从而造成严重的伤害)”提到电子烟的另一个风险，接下来阐述了两个研究“According to a 2019 study from the U.S. Fire Department, e-cigarettes caused serious injuries to users including breaking their jaws（下巴）or knocking out their teeth. Meanwhile, another study found that injuries from e-cigarette use resulted in nearly 2,000 emergency room visits between 2018and 2020.( 根据美国消防部门2019年的一项研究，电子烟对使用者造成严重伤害，包括折断下巴或敲掉牙齿。与此同时，另一项研究发现，在2018年至2020年期间，使用电子烟造成的伤害导致近2000人到急诊室就诊) ”,因此推断提到这两个研究是为了对电子烟的另一个风险：造成严重伤害，给出详细地信息。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“Many young users do not realize e-cigarettes have dangerously high levels of nicotine（尼古丁）, sometimes as much as that of an entire pack of cigarettes, so that they are pretty harmful to their health and highly addictive. ( 许多年轻使用者没有意识到电子烟含有危险的高水平的尼古丁，有时和一整包香烟一样高，所以它们对他们的健康非常有害，而且非常容易上瘾。)”和第四段的“Another huge risk is the fact that e-cigarettes blow up, thus causing serious injuries.(另一个巨大的风险是，电子烟会爆炸，从而造成严重的伤害)”以及文章其他内容可知，本文主要讲述电子烟对年轻人非常有害。故选A。
C
Eric Moussambani is the first swimmer from Equatorial Guinea to compete in the Olympics. He found his passion for swimming shortly after high school. At the time, he didn’t know how to swim, but he knew it was a sport he wanted to pursue.
Unfortunately, there were no standard swimming pools in his country. Eventually, he found a hotel pool where he could only swim three hours a week. When he couldn’t use the pool, he trained in rivers and the sea, with the local fishermen guiding him on how to use his legs and arms.
After about eight months of swimming, Eric gained entry into the 2000 Summer Olympics through a program designed to encourage sports development in developing countries.
In Sydney, Eric saw an Olympic-size swimming pool for the first time. It was so big that Eric said he was so frightened to compete in it. In preparing for his event, Eric trained at the same time as the US team and took the opportunity to study their techniques closely. A South African coach gave him a pair of competition trunks (泳裤) and some goggles (护目镜), which were what he needed badly.
On September 19, 2000, Eric stepped out for the men’s 100m freestyle competition. With his two fellow competitors stopped from taking part for making false starts, Eric suddenly found himself racing on his own. “I swam the first 50m really well,” said Eric after the competition. “I focused all my energy on telling myself to keep going.” After turning for the second length, however, Eric began to pay for spending so much energy on the first. As his legs stiffened (变僵硬), he felt he was going nowhere. “It was then that I heard the crowd shouting, encouraging me to ‘Go, go, go’. It gave me the strength to make it to the end.”
Eric finished the race with a time of 1:52.72, the slowest recorded time in Olympic history. But the audience did not care. They cheered him as if he had broken the world record. To this day, Eric is still an Olympic hero.
8. What is true about Eric before he participated in the Sydney Olympics?
A. He had nobody to teach him how to swim.
B. He had never trained in a standard swimming pool.
C. He developed his love for swimming from his childhood.
D. He entered the Olympics by beating all the other competitors.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Eric had made full preparations for his event.
B. The US team offered to teach Eric some techniques.
C. Eric was eager to compete in the Olympic swimming pool.
D. Eric didn’t even have proper equipment for the competition.
10. Which of the following best describes Eric’s 100m freestyle competition?
A. Inspiring. B. Competitive. C. Successful. D. Meaningless.
11. What is Eric mainly remembered for?
A. His outstanding talent for swimming.
B His strong willpower to reach his goal.
C. His record-breaking performance at the Olympics.
D. His great achievements in the world’s sports development.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了赤道几内亚的游泳选手Eric Moussambani通过自己决不放弃的精神，参加2000年悉尼奥运会的100m游泳比赛并赢得人们敬意的故事。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Unfortunately, there were no standard swimming pools in his country.”（不幸的是，他的国家没有标准的游泳池。）可知，在参加悉尼奥运会之前，他从没在标准游泳池里训练过。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“A South African coach gave him a pair of competition trunks and some goggles, which were what he needed badly.”（一位南非教练给了他一双竞赛泳裤和护目镜，这正是他急需的。）可推知，埃里克甚至没有适合比赛的设备。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“It was then that I heard the crowd shouting, encouraging me to ‘Go, go, go’. It gave me the strength to make it to the end.”（就在那时，我听到人群在大喊，鼓励我‘加油，加油，加油’。这给了我力量，让我坚持到底。）以及最后一段“They cheered him as if he had broken the world record. To this day, Eric is still an Olympic hero.”（他们为他欢呼，仿佛他打破了世界纪录。直到今天，埃里克仍然是奥运英雄。）可知，人们为埃里克加油欢呼，埃里克的100米自由泳比赛是鼓舞人心的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了即使缺少必要的训练场地和设备，埃里克还是努力想办法训练，参加2000年悉尼奥运会时努力坚持到底，赢得了人们的敬意，所以埃里克被人记住是因为他实现目标的坚强的意志。故选B项。
D
From Dusner (3 speakers) to Kelabit (5 thousand) to Yiddish (1.5 million), these languages are spread, but like the Indian elephant, they are in danger of dying out. Dr. Chris Mazdzer, a researcher at Oxford University, organizing a meeting on endangered languages thinks there could be a novel way to keep minority languages alive: social media. He says, “Because young people text each other how they speak, even if they don’t know how to spell it.”
Minority languages are often at risk of being drowned out by the bigger ones, which are spoken at school and in the media. But the appearance of Facebook and Twitter might just have the unexpected effect. Dr. Mazdzer speaks Frisian, which has 350,000 speakers. Communicating with his own language has given him thought about how languages could be saved in the future. “In Friesland, young people who don’t learn much Frisian at school send each messages on social media in Frisian”, he says. In this way, a new generation of Frisian speakers keeps the language alive.
Though many of these languages only have a few speakers, it’s not just a small number of speakers that make a language endangered. Some languages were once widely spoken, but lost speakers over time. This can happen for many reasons, like only one language spoken in school or people moving away from their home and losing their language.
Tweeting and texting in Frisian (or Sorbian, or Breton) is not enough in the long term, though. There are many other things we need to do. But why is a language worth saving in the first place? Because our languages are natural creations. Natural beauty needs to be protected.
12. What can prevent a language from dying out according to Dr. Mazdzer?
A. Speaking and spelling it frequently. B. Communicating in it on social media.
C. Keeping reading texts written in the language. D. Organizing meetings on endangered language.
13. How did Dr Mazdzer find a way to keep a language alive?
A. Through the lab experiments. B. Through his early study.
C. Through his first-hand experience. D. Through the analysis of numbers.
14. What’s the major cause of languages’ becoming endangered according to Paragraph 3?
A. Losing speakers over time. B. A small number of speakers.
C. Being drowned out by bigger languages. D. The appearance of Facebook and Twitter.
15. For what purpose does the author write the passage?
A. To tell us the danger of losing our native languages.
B. To show the importance of bigger languages.
C. To appeal to us to protect the minority languages.
D. To call on us to have more communication with others.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。针对少数民族语言正面临逐渐消亡的问题，科学家们发现一种保持语言活力的新方法：社交媒体。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Dr. Chris Mazdzer, …thinks there could be a novel way to keep minority languages alive: social media.(克里斯·马泽博士认为，有一种新颖的方式可以让少数民族语言保持活力:社交媒体)”可知，他认为防止语言消亡的一个方法就是在社交媒体上进行交流。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Communicating with his own language has given him thought about how languages could be saved in the future.(用自己的语言交流让他思考如何在未来拯救语言)”可知，Dr. Mazdzer通过他的亲身经历来找到让语言保持活力的方法的。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Some languages were once widely spoken, but lost speakers over time.(有些语言曾经被广泛使用，但随着时间的推移失去了使用者)”可知，一些语言曾经被广泛使用，但随着时间的推移，它们的语言也会消失。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容尤其是最后一段“Tweeting and texting in Frisian (or Sorbian, or Breton) is not enough in the long term, though. There are many other things we need to do.(然而，从长远来看，用弗里斯兰语（或索布语，或布列塔尼语）推特和发短信是不够的。我们还有很多事情要做)”可推知，作者讲述了少数民族语言正趋于消亡，呼吁人们要采取积极措施来保护少数民族语言。故选C。

46. generations
47. is designed
48. are 49. its 50. in
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了宣纸的历史渊源及其发展。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：世界各地很多人都知道纸是中国古代文明的四大发明之一，但很少有人知道，一千五百多年前，中国古代工匠发明了一种新型的纸，叫做宣纸，主要用于书写和绘画。结合空处前“Many people around the world may know...”及空后“few would know that...”内容可知，空后句子和前文构成转折对比关系，所以空处填连词but或while，故填but/while。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子可知，空处及之后的内容在句中为非限制性定语从句，先行词为a new type of paper，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which，故填which。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：宣纸最初产于古代宣州府，现在在安徽省被称为泾县。分析可知，was made是句子谓语动词，提示词know“将……称为；把……叫做”是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语Xuan Prefecture之间是被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语；be known as“作为……而闻名”，故填known。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：制作宣纸的传统工艺要求极高，需要100多个步骤。修饰形容词demanding用副词extremely，意为“极度，非常”，故填extremely。
【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意：整个过程可能需要长达两年的时间才能完成，而且这些技能已经代代相传。固定句式：It takes + 时间+ to do sth.“做某事花了多少时间”，所以空处填不定式to complete，故填to complete。
【46题详解】
考查名词复数。句意同上。结合前文pass down，可知此处指这些技能已经世代相传。for generations“世世代代”，故填generations。
【47题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：另外，宣纸的设计使其能够使用1000多年，并且仍然保持油墨和颜色的清新。空处在句中为谓语，结合前文“Xuan paper is highly water absorbent”可知，时态用一般现在时；句子主语Xuan paper为单数含义，与动词design为动宾关系，所以语态用被动语态，故填is designed。
【48题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：如今在安徽省泾县，有许多宣纸工厂和作坊，那里仍然有大师级的工匠使用传统技术制造纸张。结合today可知，时态为一般现在时；本句使用了there be结构，系动词和主语many Xuan paper factories一致，用复数are，故填are。
【49题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意：由于其悠久的历史和在中国书画文化中所发挥的重要作用，宣纸于2006年被列入中国第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。根据句意，提示词作定语，用形容词性物主代词修饰名词history，故填its。
【50题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。分析可知，“it has played 　　10　　　the culture of Chinese painting”为定语从句，修饰名词role，短语：play a role in“在……起作用”，所以空处用介词in，故填in。

As the saying goes, “Friendship is like sunshine what keeps us warm and helps us grow.” I think it is important for us to making good friends so that we can always have a fun. I like to choose people who are kind, honesty and helpful as my friends. I like to share my thoughts and fears them whenever I get into trouble.
Now I have some good friends who trusts me. I always care about what had happened to them, because I call them once a week. I always go out with my friends, chatting and play. I try to offer some advices to my friends when necessary. In this way I am able to keep friendship.
【答案】1.what→that/which
2.making→make
3.去掉fun前a
4.honesty→honest
5.fears后添加with
6.trusts→trust
7.had→has
8.because→so
9.play→playing
10.advices→advice
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者主要分享了自己的一些交友标准和心得体会。
【详解】1.考查定语从句。句意：俗话说，“友谊就像阳光，让我们温暖，帮助我们成长。”此处为定语从句修饰先行词sunshine，先行词在从句中作主语，指物，故用关系代词that或which引导。故what改为that/which。
2.考查动词不定式。句意：我认为对我们来说，结交好朋友是很重要的，这样我们才能总是玩得开心。此处为句型it be adj. for sb. to do sth.，不定式作真正主语。故making改为make。
3.考查固定短语。句意：我认为对我们来说，结交好朋友是很重要的，这样我们才能总是玩得开心。结合句意表示“玩得开心”短语为have fun。故去掉fun前a。
4.考查形容词。句意：我喜欢选择善良、诚实、乐于助人的人做我的朋友。此处作表语，表示“诚实的”应用形容词honest。故honesty改为honest。
5.考查介词。句意：每当我遇到麻烦的时候，我喜欢和他们分享我的想法和恐惧。结合句意表示“和某人分享……”短语为share sth. with sb.。故fears后添加with。
6.考查主谓一致。句意：现在我有了一些信任我的好朋友。定语从句中谓语与先行词friends保持一致，此处为一般现在时，故用动词原形。故trusts改为trust。
7.考查时态。句意：我总是关心他们发生了什么，所以我每周给他们打一次电话。表示过去发生的动作对现在产生的影响，应用现在完成时，主语为what，助动词用has。故had改为has。
8.考查连词。句意：我总是关心他们发生了什么，所以我每周给他们打一次电话。结合语境前后为因果关系，根据句意，应用连词so连接并列句。故because改为so。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意：我总是和我的朋友出去，聊天和玩耍。此处play与上文chat同为现在分词作状语。故play改为playing。
10.考查名词。句意：我试着在必要的时候给我的朋友提供一些建议。advice为不可数名词，没有复数形式。故advices改为advice。
