Travelling to watch their team play at the World Cup took a little longer than usual for two French fans. Mehdi Balamissa and Gabriel Martin decided the best way to travel from France to Qatar was on two wheels. The friends spent three months travelling 7,000 kilometers by bicycle to reach Qatar 2022 and watch their beloved France defend its title.
“It was a crazy idea, but we’re the kind of people that have big ideas and don’t want to have any regrets,” Balamissa said, as both spoke to CNN Sport a day after arriving in the country. “So, since we are both self-employed, we decided to block off three months of our time and come to Qatar.”
The pair started their mammoth (庞大的) journey at the Stade de France in Paris, home of the French national team, and finished at the stunning Lusail Stadium, the venue that would host the final at Qatar 2022. They would travel on average 115 kilometers per day, taking appropriate rest days when needed. They battled through the heat of the desert in Saudi Arabia as well as flooded woodland areas in Hungary as they made their winding way to Qatar, stopping off at campsites, lodges (乡间小舍) and hotels to sleep.
The idea came about after cycling from France to Italy to watch their country play in the UEFA Nations League last year and they wanted to test themselves with a much longer trip. They hoped their trip would promote the benefits of sustainable travel and said they planned to offer cycling workshops to children from disadvantaged backgrounds when they eventually arrived home.
The two cyclists encountered many problems along the way including dozens of flat tires, but relied on their infectiously positive attitude to get them through. The pair laugh as they recall the time they had to travel 15 hours to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in order to find a bike repair shop before travelling 15 hours back to the exact point where they had stopped.
“We had many troubles, but we fixed them as we went,” Martin told CNN.
4. Why did Balamissa and Martin go to Qatar?
A. To achieve their big ideas. B. To set them apart from the other fans.
C. To close off three months for no regrets. D. To watch their country defending its champion.
5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the two fans?
A. Their travelling plan. B. Their severe challenges.
C. The schedule about their journey。 D. The scenery along their journey.
6. What’s the purpose of the two fans’ cycling trip?
A. To explore the secrets and laws of nature. B. To raise people’s awareness of eco-tourism.
C. To benefit more from the cycling workshops. D. To be involved in the UEFA Nations League.
7. What can we learn from Balamissa and Martin’s story?
A. Attitude is everything. B. Life lies in sports.
C. Life needs a slow pace. D. Man should be at one with nature.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了法国球迷Mehdi Balamissa和Gabriel Martin克服重重困难，完成历时三个月的自行车之旅来到卡塔尔观看世界杯，并谈到了他们的“big ideas”及积极乐观的生活态度。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Travelling to watch their team play at the World Cup took a little longer than usual for two French fans.(对两位法国球迷来说，去看他们球队在世界杯上的比赛比平时花了更长的时间。)”可知，Balamissa和Martin去卡塔尔的主要目的是观看法国队捍卫世界杯冠军的比赛。故选D。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“They would travel on average 115 kilometers per day, taking appropriate rest days when needed. They battled through the heat of the desert in Saudi Arabia as well as flooded woodland areas in Hungary as they made their winding way to Qatar, stopping off at campsites, lodges and hotels to sleep.(他们平均每天行驶115公里，需要时适当休息。在前往卡塔尔的途中，他们顶着沙特阿拉伯炎热的沙漠，以及匈牙利被洪水淹没的林地，中途在露营地、小屋和酒店休息。)”可知，本段主要讲述了两位球迷旅途中遇到的种种严峻挑战。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They hoped their trip would promote the benefits of sustainable travel and said they planned to offer cycling workshops to children from disadvantaged backgrounds when they eventually arrived home.(他们希望他们的旅行能够宣传可持续旅行的好处，并表示他们计划在他们最终回家后为来自贫困家庭的孩子们提供自行车讲习班。)”可知，这两位球迷希望他们的骑行之旅能够增强人们的生态旅游意识。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。从第二段Balamissa接受采访时说的话“It was a crazy idea, but we’re the kind of people that have big ideas and don’t want to have any regrets(这是一个疯狂的想法，但我们是那种有大想法的人，不希望有任何遗憾)”和最后一段Martin接受采访时说的话“We had many troubles, but we fixed them as we went(我们有许多麻烦，但我们边走边解决)”可以看出，这两位球迷的生活态度积极向上、坚定执着；再结合倒数第二段中的“The two cyclists encountered many problems along the way, including dozens of flat tires, but relied on their infectiously positive attitude to get them through.(这两名骑自行车的人一路上遇到了很多问题，包括几十个轮胎漏气了，但他们依靠自己富有感染力的积极态度度过了难关。)”可知，本文旨在传递“态度决定一切”的人生哲学。故选A。
C
Today, battery power per kilowatt hour costs around only ten per cent of what it did a decade ago. And the expectation is that the costs will continue to fall, both as battery chemistry improves and because manufacturing lots of batteries on a massive scale makes the production of individual batteries cheaper.
You can be forgiven for thinking that this might only be of interest to accountants, but the implications of this are enormous, and will benefit all of us. First and most obviously, it had made the batteries in electric cars cheaper and longer-lasting. And brilliantly, because electric batteries are improving so dramatically, we can already see the results. Last September, 15 per cent of all new vehicle registrations were pure electric vehicles. So the change is starting to happen.
Better batteries don’t just mean better cars, however. They can also help us decarbonise the entire national grid(网格). Storing energy has always been a problem for the grid. Today, only a tiny amount of generated electricity is stored for later use, which leads to lots of power going to waste. But better batteries make it technologically and economically viable to store large amounts of energy from the grid.
It’s conceivable(可想象的) that in the not-too-distant future, alongside other essentials in our homes like a boiler and a fusebox, we might also have an enormous battery in the garage. This would take power from the grid (or maybe even solar panels on the roof), and power appliances and lights in our homes at the times when demand for electricity is high. Home batteries are not yet as established as electric cars, but they are also growing in popularity.
So, given how much technology has improved batteries over the last decade, I can’t help but be strangely optimistic about the future. Batteries may not be as flashy(华丽的) as phones, rockets or other new technologies, but when it comes to technology to fight climate change, they’re definitely leading the charge.
8. What contributes to the popularity of electric cars?
A. The greater benefits to accountants. B. The production of individual batteries.
C. The cheaper batteries running longer. D. The disappearance of the range anxiety.
9. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Workable. B. Cheaper. C. Dramatic. D. Exceptional.
10. What does the author expect of batteries?
A. They will sell better than phones. B. They will make the world greener.
C. They will replace the chargers on a long trip. D. They will improve in an environment-friendly way.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A Home Batteries Will Catch on B. Petrol-powered Cars Will Be Upgraded
C. Batteries Are Getting Better and Better D. Battery Technology Needs Improving Urgently
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明电池技术的发展让电池价格越来越低并且存储量越来越大，这能让更多人受益。电池技术还有助于整个国家电网的脱碳，使大量储存电能具有可行性，从而促进家用电池的流行。最后作者乐观展望电池的未来。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“First and most obviously, it had made the batteries in electric cars cheaper and longer-lasting. And brilliantly, because electric batteries are improving so dramatically, we can already see the results. Last September, 15 per cent of all new vehicle registrations were pure electric vehicles. (首先也是最明显的是，它使电动汽车中的电池更便宜、更耐用。而且非常出色的是，由于电池正在大幅改善，我们已经可以看到结果。去年9月，所有新车登记中有15%是纯电动汽车。)”可知，电动汽车的电池变得更便宜且更耐用，所以现在电动汽车跑得更远，其实用性更强，因此电动汽车注册用户开始增加。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句上一句及“But better batteries make it technologically and economically viable to store large amounts of energy from the grid. (但更好的电池使得从电网存储大量能量在技术和经济上都是……。)”中的“But”可知，更好的电池可以解决当前只有少量的发电被储存的问题。由此可知，画线词意为“可行的，行得通的”。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They can also help us decarbonise the entire national grid. (它们还可以帮助我们实现整个国家电网的脱碳。)”和最后一段中的“Batteries may not be as flashy(华丽的) as phones, rockets or other new technologies, but when it comes to technology to fight climate change, they’re definitely leading the charge. (电池可能不像手机、火箭或其他新技术那样华丽，但在应对气候变化的技术方面，它们绝对是领先的。)”可知，作者认为电池技术能帮助减少碳排放，能有力地帮助解决全球气候问题，即可以让世界更环保。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“First and most obviously, it had made the batteries in electric cars cheaper and longer-lasting. (首先也是最明显的是，它使电动汽车中的电池更便宜、更持久。)”，第三段中的“They can also help us decarbonise the entire national grid. (它们还可以帮助我们实现整个国家电网的脱碳。)”和第四段中的“This would take power from the grid (or maybe even solar panels on the roof), and power appliances and lights in our homes at the times when demand for electricity is high. Home batteries are not yet as established as electric cars, but they are also growing in popularity. (这将从电网（甚至屋顶上的太阳能电池板）获取电力，并在电力需求高的时候为我们家中的电器和灯供电。家用电池还没有像电动汽车那样成熟，但它们也越来越受欢迎。)”可知，作者一直在强调电池变得更好、更受欢迎，从而也让更多人受益;再根据最后一段中的“So, given how much technology has improved batteries over the last decade, I can’t help but be strangely optimistic about the future. (因此，考虑到过去十年中技术对电池的改进程度，我不禁对未来感到异常乐观。)”可知，作者对电池的前景充满乐观与希望。故C项“电池越来越好”适合作本文标题。故选C项。
D
Mindfulness meditation(冥想) is a practice used to achieve mental quiet and a sense of calm. It is a series of steps used to encourage reflection and deep breathing and to increase self-awareness.
A mindfulness meditation course may be as effective at reducing anxiety as a common medication(药物), according to a new study. The research, published on November 9 in JAMA Psychiatry, involved a group of 276 adults with untreated anxiety disorders. Half of the patients were randomly selected to take 10 to 20mg of escitalopram, the generic form of Lexapro, a common medication used to treat anxiety and depression. The other half were assigned to an eight-week course in mindfulness-based stress reduction. The results were stunning: Both groups experienced about a 20% reduction in their anxiety symptoms over the eight-week period.
The patients assigned to the meditation group were asked to attend a mindfulness meditation group class in-person once a week. Each class was around two-and-a-half hours long and held at a local clinic. They were also asked to meditate on their own for around 40 minutes per day. Hoge, the lead author on the study, compared the time commitment to “taking an exercise class or an art class”.
But according to Joseph Arpaia, an Oregon-based psychiatrist specializing in mindfulness and meditation, the daily time commitment is likely too much for many patients dealing with anxiety.
Arpaia says that he has worked to find less time-intensive mindfulness methods to help patients manage their anxiety. One technique he teaches is called a “one-breath reset” that helps patients calm themselves over the course of a single breath.
But despite his reservations, “It’s always interesting to see meditation work, and it works as well as medication,” he said. “My hope would be that people realize that there are things other than medication that can work.”
“My other hope would be that they realize that if sitting and following your breath makes you feel relaxed, great, but it doesn’t make everyone feel relaxed. Find something that does. Read a book, go for a walk, spend time gardening,” he said.
12. What’s the main feature of mindfulness meditation?
A. It works in removing anxiety. B. It makes people’s mind empty.
C. It drives people to keep calm. D. It focuses on thoughts and awareness.
13. What can we know about the new study?
A. Its result is hard to understand.
B. Its participants should attend courses face to face.
C. Its function is like an exercise class or an art class.
D. Its participants are divided into two equal groups freely.
14. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude to the new study’s result?
A. Objective. B. Skeptical. C. Conservative. D. Approving.
15. How does Joseph Arpaia expect people to reduce anxiety?
A. They learn more about meditation.
B. They can bring a “one-breath reset” into focus.
C. They choose a proper way to relax besides meditation.
D. They can read books to develop mind instead of medication.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有关“冥想减压”的一项新研究以及专业人士对此研究的评价。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It is a series of steps used to encourage reflection and deep breathing and to increase self-awareness.(它是一系列的步骤，用于鼓励反思和深呼吸，并提高自我意识)”可知，正念冥想不是让思想处于空无状态，而是更注重思想和意识。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Half of the patients were randomly selected to take 10 to 20mg of escitalopram, the generic form of Lexapro, a common medication used to treat anxiety and depression. The other half were assigned to an eight-week course in mindfulnessbased stress reduction.(一半的患者被随机选择服用10至20毫克的escitalopram，这是Lexapro的通用形式，是一种用于治疗焦虑和抑郁的常用药物。另一半则被安排参加为期八周的正念减压课程)”可知，该实验的参加者被任意分成人数均等的两个小组。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。本文作者主要介绍了关于“冥想减压”的一项新研究的过程与结果以及Joseph Arpaia对该项研究的评价，因此作者对该项新研究的结果持客观态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Joseph Arpaia所说的话“My hope would be that people realize that there are things other than medication that can work.(我希望人们能意识到，除了药物，还有其他方法可以发挥作用)”以及最后一段中“My other hope would be that they realize that if sitting and following your breath makes you feel relaxed, great, but it doesn’t make everyone feel relaxed. Find something that does.(我的另一个希望是，他们能意识到，如果坐着，跟着呼吸让你感到放松，那很好，但这并不能让每个人都感到放松。找到能让你放松的事情)”可知，Joseph Arpaia希望人们认识到减少焦虑的方式不仅仅只有药物治疗，同时还希望人们可以尝试一下“正念冥想减压法”，当然也可以尝试其他的适合自己的减压方式。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大运河的状况，包括其历史变迁及新时代的新面貌。
【36题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：2014年6月22日被列入《世界文化遗产名录》。分析句子结构可知，此处为句子的谓语部分，根据本句时间状语“On June 22, 2014”可知，本句谓语应用一般过去时态，根据句意可知，此处表示大运河被包括在世界文化遗产名录中，故应用被动语态，因此空格处是一般过去时的被动语态，主语it为单数形式，所以应填was included。故填was included。
【37题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：一千多年来，大运河绵延3200公里，蜿蜒流经8个省市，连接了5条主要河流，是世界上最长、最古老的运河。分析句子成分可知，空后有名词course，故应填形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
【38题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：一千多年来，大运河绵延3200公里，蜿蜒流经8个省市，连接了5条主要河流，是世界上最长、最古老的运河。根据句意可知，此处which指代主句的主语the Grand Canal，故谓语部分应用单数形式；本句旨在说明大运河的客观情况，应用一般现在时，所以应填is。故填is。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是我们祖先传给我们的宝贵遗产。句中谓语是is，空格处用非谓语动词，所给动词pass与其逻辑主语heritage之间是动宾关系，故应用过去分词作定语，表被动，故填passed。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：近代以来，由于社会动荡、气候变化、经济变化等影响，大运河出现了河道断流、水污染、水生态破坏等一系列问题。as a result of为固定短语，意为“因为，由于”，所以应填不定冠词a。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：近代以来，由于社会动荡、气候变化、经济变化等影响，大运河出现了河道断流、水污染、水生态破坏等一系列问题。分析句子成分可知，空处与river channel cutoff和water ecological damage为such as后面的三个并列名词短语，所以此处应填名词pollution，意为“污染”，是不可数名词。故填pollution。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意：新时期以来，大运河沿线多地开展了生态修复工程。由主句谓语部分“have launched”可知，主句时态为现在完成时，所以本句的时间状语应该表示“从过去到现在”，空格处意为“自从”，用since，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Since。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他们在保持河道原始形态的同时，注重科学保护和文化遗产，突出大运河的文化、历史和生态价值。句中谓语是“have focused on”，空格处用非谓语动词，句子主语they与所给动词highlight之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词表主动，作状语，故填highlighting。
【44题详解】
考查比较级。句意：随着工程的进一步发展，大运河逐渐恢复了过去的通航能力。根据句意可知，此处意为“随着工程的进一步发展”，表示抽象的进一步，是further，故填further。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：沿线的游船和货物运输已经开通。根据句子的谓语部分“have become available”可知，Boat tours和cargo transportation之间为并列关系，所以应填并列连词and。故填and。

47. 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。
Bob was a short child who preferred indoor to outdoor activities. He was mild-mannered and mostly kept to himself. Sitting in the corner of the class, he was very much a loner.
At the beginning of the semester, Bob had a new classmate, Alex, who had just returned to England. Alex was assigned a seat next to Bob. To his surprise, within weeks, he became good friends with Alex even though they were poles apart in personality. Alex was popular, outspoken and artistic. “Alex is all that I want to be,” Bob thought to himself He began listening to the music Alex listened to and having similar haircut. He even quit his drama club and started playing the online games that Alex played. He seemed to have been out of his loneliness.
It was not long before Bob was introduced to Alex’s “cool” friends. He told himself that he would try all means to be part of the group. He would follow them to the football games and join the art club after school so he could spend more time hanging out with them. Bob followed them around laughing when they told jokes, agreeing when they had opinions—most enthusiastically at the ones he disagreed with. He did not dare to differ in opinions as he would not want them to think badly of him. This continued for several months. At last, Bob felt relieved that he had finally fitted in.
One day, Bob overheard Alex and his cool friends talking. “Bob is such a loser,” one boy commented in a playful tone. “He just follows you around trying to be you. He copies you; he does not have a personality of his own!” another boy exclaimed. Alex laughed, to make matters worse, he added, “That fellow wears me out. I wish he would leave me alone. He thinks we are best friends. A thorough fool!”

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
Bob stood still to the ground and could not believe his ears. Trembling and sobbing, he collapsed on the ground, feeling alone and betrayed. He had no choice but to cry all the way back home. Seeing his mother, he couldn’t conceal his sorrow, pouring the incident out to her, who would always be there for him whenever he felt down. Stroking her trembling boy, the mother said gently, “Just be yourself, Son! People will like you for who you are.” Bob had heard the remarks a million times before, yet he never truly got the point. Suddenly, it all clicked.
Paragraph 2:
Bob decided to change himself after hearing his mother’s words. He bought a new schoolbag and chose a haircut he fancied. He dropped his art class and joined the drama club. He made new friends who liked him for who he was. He rediscovered himself. If he had not been given the chance, he might have been too concerned with “fitting in” desperately to experience some of the “best” times of his life. It dawned on him that despite the pain he felt that day, it was a gift they had given him, which taught him to be himself.
