(2022·全国新高考Ⅰ卷)The elderly residents(居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity(慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing.It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind.Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier.She said, “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.”
“I like the project a lot.I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”
“It’s good to have a different focus.People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them.I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said,“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions.We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.” 
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said, “We are happy to be taking part in the project.It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
1.What is the purpose of the project?
A.To ensure harmony in care homes.

　　【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍了旨在减少孤独,改善老年人的健康状况的项目——照顾母鸡。
1.D　目的意图题。根据文章第二段“The project was dreamed up by a local charity(慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing.”可知,这个由当地慈善组织发起的项目旨在帮助老人们减少孤独感并改善他们的健康状况,提高老人们的福祉。故选D项。
2.B　推理判断题。Ruth Xavicr是一位参加了该项目的老人,本题考查该项目对这位老人的影响。第三段中Ruth Xavier说她以前养过母鸡并回忆了她如何养鸡,因此A、C项表述错误。根据第五段中的“I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”可知,Ruth Xavier享受这些富有创意的活动,因为做有用的事情她感觉很好,很有成就感。D项“她养成了坚强的个性”在文中没有提及。故选B项。
3.C　词义猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions.We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”以及画线处前的“one of the first”可知,Wendy Wilson是着手这项工程的人之一,画线处的含义与C项“Begin”意思相近。故选C项。

B
(山东省临沂市2022届高三下学期2月一模考试)A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland. “I thought that someone was pranking me,” said Genovefa Klonovska after being handed the letter, which included a handmade colored rose and two paper dolls.
The letter, together with 17 others, fell out of a ventilation hole(通风口) this summer, dirty and wrinkled, as a wall was taken down in a former post office on the suburb of Vilnius. Jurgis Vilnius, owner of the building immediately called the post office. “I’m so happy they got interested,” said he.
Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, and post office workers spent months looking for the right houses and talking to current renters and neighbours, tracking down where the recipients moved to. Only five were found. In several cases children of late recipients were handed a lost letter.
“We felt a moral duty to do this,” said Deimante Zebrauskaite, head of the customer experience department at Lithuania Post.
One lady compared the experience to receiving a message from a bottle thrown into sea. People were emotional. “Some felt they saw a part of daily life of their deceased parents,” Zebrauskaite said.
In the letter to Klonovska, sent from Koezary in Poland and stamped in 1970, a girl named Ewa complains buses no longer reach her village, so she has to walk in minus 23 degree Celsius cold, and asks for pictures of actors.
Now in her 60s, Klonovska has no memory of Ewa. She probably wrote Ewa after finding her address advertising for pen pals in a newspaper, and the relationship ceased after the letter got undelivered.
“So good that the letter didn’t matter much. The loss was not life-changing,” said Klonovska.“What if they delivered a lost letter from a suitor(求婚者) to his love, and their wedding never happened.”
5.What does the underlined word “pranking” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Brightening. B.Embarrassing.
C.Tricking. D.Pleasing.
6.What happened to the letters in Paragraph 2?
A.They were accidentally found.
B.They remained well-preserved.
C.They were delivered by the former post office.
D.They were hidden by the owner of the building.
7.Which of the following best describes the present post office in Vilnius?
A.Generous. B.Dutiful.
C.Honest. D.Cautious.
8.What can we learn from what Klonovska said?
A.Klonovska refused a suitor.
B.Klonovska stopped the wedding.
C.The undelivered letter ruined the relationship.
D.The undelivered letter maybe made little difference to her.
　　【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。维尔纽斯郊区的一家前邮局的一堵墙在被拆掉时,发现了18封很久以前需要发出的信,邮局工作人员很负责任地花了数月时间寻找合适的收信人。
5.C　词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland.”可知,立陶宛的女孩收到了51年前寄给她的信。由此推知,当她收到信时,她难以相信,甚至可能觉得有人捉弄她。结合选项和女孩的话“I thought that someone was pranking me”可推知,画线词pranking的意思是“欺骗;捉弄”。
6.A　细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知,那些信是偶然发现的。
7.B　推理判断题。根据第三段的内容及第四段中的“We felt a moral duty to do this.”可推知,邮局费劲地寻找收信人,说明邮局是尽职的,即Dutiful。
8.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,那封未送达的信可能对Klonovska没有什么影响。
C
(2022届广西南宁市高三毕业班摸底测试)Being an Olympian(奥运会选手) demands focus, determination, and a competitive spirit. Plus, representing your country is a lot of pressure. However, two athletes recently showed the world another quality that is definitely worth championing.
Qatar’s Mutaz Essa Barshim and Italy’s Gianmarco Tamberi were competing in the high jump on Sunday when they reached a stalemate(僵局). Both men had managed to jump over a surprising 2.37 meters with no faults along the way. However, after three attempts neither managed the next level of 2.39 meters.
An Olympic official suggested a jump-off between the two friends and rivals(竞争对手) to determine who would get the gold medal. But Barshim had another plan to reward their efforts.
“Can we have two golds?” he asked the official.
The official agreed and the two men jumped for joy. This was the first time a gold medal had been shared since 1912. “He is one of my best friends, not only on the track, but outside the track. We work together. This is a dream come true”, shared Barshim.
The decision to share the medal was particularly meaningful to Tamberi. The Italian had suffered an ankle injury that prevented him from competing in the Rio Olympics in 2016, and it nearly put an end to his career altogether. So this year he brought along his cast to this year’s Olympics with “Road to Tokyo 2021” to inspire him along the way.
For Barshim, the gold has topped off his already impressive medal collection, having received a bronze and a silver medal in 2012 and 2016 respectively.
Despite all the glory of receiving a gold medal for their countries, their achievement means so much more. These two individuals, trying to do their very best for their countries, have provided a wonderful example to all those competing in sports. They’ve summed up exactly what it means to take part in a global event with a generous and compassionate spirit.
9.What happened to Barshim and Tamberi in the competition?
A.They ended in a tie.
B.They quit the competition.
C.They set a new record.
D.They ran out of strength.
10.What does the underlined word “jump-off” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Debate. B.Vote.
C.Celebration. D.Extra round.
11.Why was the gold medal particularly meaningful to Tamberi?
A.It could bring him a lot of money.
B.It may make up for his regret in 2016.
C.It was a glory for his country.
D.It could complete his medal collection.
12.What does the author mainly want to convey in the text?
A.The importance of sharing.
B.The glory of winning gold medals.
C.The valuable and special team spirit.
D.The considerate and sharing Olympic spirit.
　　【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。在东京奥运会的跳高比赛中,两位选手在取得相同分数,陷入僵局的情况下,没有再继续加赛,而是向官方提议共享金牌,体现了慷慨、富有同情心、乐于分享的奥运精神。
9.A　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的内容可知,两名选手都跳过了2.37米的成绩,打成平局。故选A项。
10.D　词义猜测题。根据第二段中提到两人打成平局和第三段中的“to determine who would get the gold medal”可知,奥运会官员建议他们“jump-off”,即加赛决胜负。故选D项。
11.B　推理判断题。根据文章第六段可知,Tamberi因脚踝受伤而未能参加2016年的里约奥运会,因此此次东京奥运会获奖可算是对上次错失的弥补。故选B项。
12.D　推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“However, two athletes recently showed the world another quality that is definitely worth championing.”和最后一段中的“They’ve summed up exactly what it means to take part in a global event with a generous and compassionate spirit.”可知,作者的写作目的主要是想向人们传递这种慷慨、富有同情心、乐于分享的奥运精神。故选D项。
Ⅱ.七选五阅读
(2022届广东省实验中学9月月考)Beginning with Chinese efforts to explore and connect with Central Asia, the Silk Road consisted of massive small routes and was named after the silk cloth the Chinese produced. 　1　 Through these routes, Chinese silk, porcelain, lacquer work and ironware were shipped to the West, while pepper, flax, spices, grape and pomegranate entered China. 
　2　 They promoted flow of knowledge as well. Arab astronomy, calendar and medicine found their way to China, while China’s four great inventions and silkworm breeding spread to other parts of the world. 　3　 For example, Buddhism originated in India, blossomed in China and was enriched in Southeast Asia. Confucianism, which was born in China, gained appreciation by European thinkers such as Leibniz and Voltaire. Herein lies the appeal of mutual learning. 
The ancient silk routes witnessed the busy scenes of visits and trade over land and ships calling at ports. Along these major routes, capital, technology and people flowed freely. 　4　 The ancient prosperous cities and ports developed, so did the Roman Empire as well as Parthia and Kushan Kingdoms. The Han and Tang Dynasties of China entered the golden age. The ancient silk routes brought prosperity to these regions and contributed to their development. 
Some regions along the ancient Silk Road used to be a land of milk and honey. Yet today, these places are often associated with conflict, crisis and challenge. 　5　 Now, the Belt and Road Initiative intends to build an open platform of cooperation and a broad community of shared interests. It will not only achieve economic growth and balanced development, but also connect different civilizations. Mutual understanding, mutual respect, and mutual trust among different countries will be boosted. 
A.More importantly ideas were also exchanged.
B.The ancient silk routes were not only for trade.
C.Goods, resources and benefits were widely shared.
D.Such state of affairs should not be allowed to continue.
E.However, silk was just one of many goods traded on these routes.
F.Large empires provided stability and protection for the trade routes.
G.The Silk Road was never an actual road, or even a single massive trade route.
　　【语篇解读】本文是说明文,介绍了丝绸之路的发展历史和意义,不仅有物资贸易,也有知识传播和观念的交流。“一带一路”倡议提供一个合作、均衡发展的平台。
1.E　根据后一句“通过这些路线,中国丝绸、瓷器、漆器和铁器被运往西方,而辣椒、亚麻、香料、葡萄和石榴进入中国”可知,此段说的是丝绸之路上物资的贸易。silk是词汇复现。E项“然而,丝绸只是在这些路线上交易的许多商品之一”符合语境内容。
2.B　后一句“as well”表示递进关系,“not only”与“as well”相关联。B项“古代丝绸之路不仅是为了贸易”符合语境。They指代 “the ancient silk routes”。
3.A　空后举例Buddhism(佛教)、Confucianism(儒家思想)说明丝绸之路上观念的交流。A项“更重要的是,还交流了观点”符合语境内容。
4.C　前一句“资本、技术和人员自由流动”和C项中“be widely shared”意思相关联。故C项“商品、资源和利益被广泛分享”符合语境内容。
5.D　空前一句意为:然而今天,这些地方往往与冲突、危机和挑战联系在一起。D项中“such state of affairs”指代上一句中陈述的状况。故D项“这种状况不应继续下去”符合语境。
