【原文】M: This is What’s Trending Today. People from London like to call the ringing of Big Ben “bongs”. They mark the start of a new hour. Big Ben started making its bongs 158 years ago. But beginning on August 21st, it will go silent for four years. The bell will ring for the last time at 12 noon. The bell will be disconnected from the clock as crews launch a major repair project in the tower. The clock, however, will continue to tell the time, silently. The only time people in London will hear the bells will be on Remembrance Sunday (和平纪念日), which falls on November 12th this year, and New Year’s Eve. The repair project will cost about $40 million, said Steve Jaggs. He is known as “The Keeper of the Great Clock.” Jaggs said the goal is to keep the building safe and the famous timepiece (钟) working for future generations to enjoy. The last time the bell stopped ringing for repairs was in 2007. It was also silent for the funerals of former Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. There was reaction to the silencing of Big Ben on social media. Joana reacted to the news on Twitter. She proposed that there be “one minute of silence for the lost bongs of Big Ben”. And that’s What’s Trending Today. I’m Dan Friedell.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Coach your favourite sports to poor children in schools. Help these children to get a structured sporting education and see their joy as they pick up new skills. If that’s not enough sport for you, you can even get involved in playing with local teams in your evenings and at weekends.
Description
As a volunteer sports coach, you and your group will head to 3 schools each day to coach your chosen sport or a variety of them. Sports coaching volunteering involves not just teaching the kids, but also acting as a good role model. Children are aged about 10–13 and are often new to playing sport in a structured environment. You don’t need to be a top player to take part (though any champions are welcome!) — it’s your patience and drive that will make the biggest effects.
Which sports to coach?
Sports coaching volunteers can choose to specialize in coaching just one sport, but often we find that it is best to combine several sports for more variety. The freedom to choose between different sports makes the weeks even more diverse. Follow the links to find out more about each sport.
Accommodation
·The accommodation is located in a leafy suburb 10 minutes’ drive from the city centre and the seafront.
·Sports volunteers share accommodation with childcare and teaching volunteers.
Food
All dietary requirements can be catered for, as long as we know about them in advance. Coaching children in sport will make you hungry — many volunteers choose to supplement (补充) their meals with snacks bought in the local shops, just 10 minutes’ walk away. There is a volunteer kitchen where participants can do any cooking they wish outside of mealtimes.
Want to go travelling afterwards?
We can arrange a week-long Garden Route tour after your time on the project. Follow the link to find out more about the Garden Route Tour.
21. What can a volunteer do in the evenings if he wants to do more sports?
A. Drive to the supermarket. B. Pay a visit to 3 schools.
C. Match with local teams. D. Have a Garden Route tour.
22. Which is the most important as sports coaching volunteers?
A. Being a top player. B. Being skilled in various sports.
C. Being able to cook well. D. Being motivated and patient.
23. Where is the text probably from?
A. A web page. B. A news magazine.
C. A travel guide. D. An education paper.
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A
【解析】

Instead of escaping the summer heat in air-conditioning indoors, Mustafa Furkan Ozgener prefers the sunshine in an experimental seed field of over 200 kinds of melons in Pingluo County, Northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Picking melons, weighing them, observing their growth, tasting, recording and taking pictures, the 31-year-old Turkish man runs his tests on up to 50 kinds of melons every day. “I love working in the field. Melons are favored in Turkey in the hot summers and my job here is to choose the best kinds for Turkish customers,” he said.
Influenced by his father who used to do business in China, Ozgener majored in Chinese at university and therefore expected a journey to China one day. The young man visited China for the first time as an exchange student in Beijing. Two years later, Ozgener applied for a master’s degree in tourism management at China’s Sun Yat-sen University. Since then, he’s traveled around the country to learn about the colorful Chinese culture and enjoy different dishes. “The more I learn about China, the more I want to stay here,” said Ozgener. He worked as a translator in Ningxia after graduation.
The company Ozgener works for now is a scientific and technological enterprise engaged in vegetable planting, production, promotion, import and export. It has bred over 70 new varieties of seeds and exported seeds to 27 countries and regions in Asia and Africa, including the Middle East.
Before the outbreak of COVID-19, Ozgener would spend two months in Hainan and another four months in Ningxia to help foreign clients select seeds. Then he would go back to Turkey. But due to the epidemic (流行病), he has stayed in Ningxia for more than a year, observing and selecting target seeds in the field every day.
“I used to do translation work only, but now I’m also responsible for all the stuff related to the seeds. It’s tiring but rewarding, because I can learn a lot. I will continue to pursue my dream here,” said Ozgener.
24. Why does Ozgener work in the melon field in Ningxia?
A. He likes the hot weather there. B. He prefers eating melons there.
C. He loves working in the field there. D. His father wants him to work there.
25. What do we know about Ozgener?
A. He learned Chinese in Beijing as an exchange student.
B. He worked in the field in Hainan after graduation.
C. He traveled around China the first time he came there.
D. He had a greater interest in China as time went by.
26. What kind of person is Ozgener?
A. Hard-working and determined. B. Energetic and patient.
C. Kind and devoted. D. Ambitious and confident.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A man’s wonderful journey to China. B. Planting and selling melons in Turkey.
C. A tiring job in the field in a hot summer. D. Going after a dream of planting seeds in Ningxia.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. D

Now, a study proves that gardens are more than just a pretty place. The study, by researchers at Illinois State University, demonstrates that such constructed gardens can have a measurable and positive impact on water quality.
Floating gardens are essentially platforms built and wrapped in coconut husks (椰子壳), and filled in with native plantings. As plants grow, they extend their roots into the water. On the North Branch of the Chicago River, non-profit Urban Rivers and its partners are developing a mile-long floating eco-park called the Wild Mile. The re-development of this former industrial canal is Urban Rivers’ important project. As part of the park, floating gardens, attached to shore, are being fixed.
The primary aim of the floating gardens is beautification. But the Illinois State team, from the University’s Department of Geology, Geography, and the Environment, saw an ideal setup for a controlled experiment. “We joined it because it’s the perfect opportunity to see if there’s an influence on water quality,” explains lead author Abigail Heath.
The study is novel: previous studies have explored floating gardens’ influence on water quality over time, primarily in wastewater treatment ponds, but not over space, in moving water. The project also matches well with Urban Rivers’ broader goals. “The city is interested in bettering water quality,” says Phil Nicodemus, Urban Rivers’ Director of Research. “Happily, Illinois State took part in it later.”
Could this small human-made park improve water quality? An average of data collected over the course of the study shows middle but definitive improvement. For example, nitrogen (氮) dropped from 4.69 milligrams per liter in surface water to 4.43 milligrams per liter, a drop of about 1 percent.
“Despite how small this garden was, there was measurable improvement in water quality from upstream to downstream,” notes Heath. She and her colleagues see this as a model for how large floating gardens should be to help improve water in similar settings. “Even this tiny garden makes a difference,” she says.
28. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A. The floating gardens are environmentally friendly.
B. The floating gardens are fixed everywhere in the eco-park.
C. The floating gardens can help fix the former parks.
D. The Urban Rivers were once industrial canals.
29. What is the main reason to build the floating gardens?
A. To reduce waste water. B. To attract more visitors to the park.
C. To make the surroundings brilliant. D. To help researchers do the experiment.
30. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. The floating garden. B. The project.
C. The treatment of ponds. D. The quality of water.
31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Floating Gardens: More than Pretty
B. The Best Way to Better Water Quality
C. A Practical Method of Improving Parks
D. Floating Gardens Beautify the City
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究指出，美国伊利诺伊州的漂浮花园不但起到了美观的作用，而且能够有效改善水质。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Floating gardens are essentially platforms built and wrapped in coconut husks (椰子壳), and filled in with native plantings. As plants grow, they extend their roots into the water. On the North Branch of the Chicago River, non-profit Urban Rivers and its partners are developing a mile-long floating eco-park called the Wild Mile.（漂浮花园本质上是用椰子壳包裹起来的平台，里面种满了本地植物。当植物生长时，它们的根会伸入水中。在芝加哥河的北支流，非营利组织“城市河流”及其合作伙伴正在开发一个长达一英里的漂浮生态公园，名为“野生一英里”。）”可知，漂浮花园的用材是椰子壳，其功能是作为生态公园。由此推知，漂浮花园是环保的。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The primary aim of the floating gardens is beautification.（漂浮花园的主要目的是美化。）”可知，建造漂浮花园的主要目的是让周边环境更加美观。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The project also matches well with Urban Rivers’ broader goals. “The city is interested in bettering water quality,” says Phil Nicodemus, Urban Rivers’ Director of Research. “Happily, Illinois State took part in it later.”（该项目也与“城市河流”更大的目标相匹配。“城市河流”研究主任Phil Nicodemus说：“这座城市对改善水质很感兴趣，令人高兴的是，伊利诺伊州立大学后来也加入了。”）”可知，Phil Nicodemus很高兴伊利诺伊州立大学参与了这个项目，it指代的是上文中提到的The project。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究指出，美国伊利诺伊州的漂浮花园不但起到了美观的作用，而且能够有效改善水质。因此，A项“漂浮花园：不止于美丽”可概括文章大意，适合作为文章标题。故选A。
D
Stressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise? People all over the world are told by their doctors to try for a low-sodium (钠) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases, but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good. Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets.
These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that the researchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods. And when they were tested on participants for the first time, results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived (察觉到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times.
According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years, but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions (离子) in sodium chloride (table salt), which enhances salty flavor.
And do these chopsticks work as expected? To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. If nothing else, one thing was clear: participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without. Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium, and eaten with normal chopsticks.
The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come!
32. What is the main function of the future high-tech chopsticks?
A. To treat blood pressure. B. To test how salty a dish is.
C. To increase the saltiness of food. D. To help reduce salt intake.
33. How do the high-tech chopsticks work?
A. By sending warning information to the brain.
B. By changing the saltiness of food with electric shocks.
C. By using electricity to transport ions between chopsticks.
D. By tricking our brains into tasting extra salt.
34. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Confirm. B. Improve.
C. Change. D. Strengthen.
35. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of the chopsticks?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Pessimistic.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。日本研究人员开发出一种可以让人感觉咸味增强的筷子，从而帮助人们减少食盐的摄入量。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句“Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets. (幸运的是，日本东京明治大学的研究人员和制造商麒麟开发出了一种高科技筷子，可以增强咸味，可能会帮助那些需要减少饮食中钠含量的人。)”可知，这种高科技筷子的功能是帮助减少食盐摄入量。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. (据研究小组介绍，其基本原理是，通过其中一根筷子的尖端直接进入口腔的极弱电流会让人感受到额外的咸味。)”可知，这种高科技筷子是通过让大脑感受额外的咸味来发挥其功能的。故选D。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段前两句“And do these chopsticks work as expected? To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. (这些筷子像预期的那样好用吗？为了 新筷子的效果，研究人员对36名年龄在40到65岁之间的参与者进行了一项实验，他们都在吃低钠饮食。)”可知，画线词所在句前一句是对筷子的效果提出疑问，而后面是对实验结果的描述，故可推知，划线词是“证明，证实”的意思。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据末段“The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come! (这种筷子还没有在商店货架上销售，但由于效果很好，世界各地那些不快乐地致力于低钠饮食的人可能会对即将到来的任何更新感到兴奋！)”可知，作者对这种高科技筷子的未来持乐观态度。故选B。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
They say that children learn languages the best. ___36___. We asked some of the polyglots (通晓多种语言的人) in TED’s Open Translation Project to share their secrets to mastering a foreign language. Several basic principles are as follows.
Get real. Decide on a simple, achievable goal to start with so that you don’t feel confused. German translator Judith Matz suggests: “Pick up 50 words of a language and start using them on people — ___37___.”
Play house with the language. The more you invite a foreign language into your daily life, the more your brain will consider it something useful and worth caring about. “Use every opportunity to get involved in the new language,” says Russian translator Olga Dmitrochenkova. ___38___, read kids’ books written in it, watch subtitled TED and TEDx talks, or live-narrate parts of your day to an imaginary foreign friend.
___39___. Dmitrochenkova has a great idea: “A funny thing like resetting the language on your phone can help you learn new words right away,” she says. Ditto for changing the language on your browser (浏览器). Or you can seek out more structured learning opportunities online. Dutch translator Els De Keyser recommends Duolinguo for its gamified (游戏化) approach to grammar, and Anki for memorizing vocabulary with its “intelligent” flashcards...
Make new friends. ___40___ — it will teach you to naturally express your thoughts, instead of mentally translating each sentence before you say it. Find native speakers near you. Or search for foreign penpals or set up a language connection online, where two volunteers help one another practice their own languages.
A. Let technology help you out
B. and look up them in the dictionary
C. Do not worry about making mistakes
D. and then slowly start picking up grammar
E. Communicating in the new language is key
F. But that doesn’t mean that adults should give up
G. Stick every object in your house in this language
【答案】36. F 37. D 38. G 39. A 40. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了掌握外语的几个基本原则。
【36题详解】
F选项“但这并不意味着成年人应该放弃”与上文“They say that children learn languages the best.(他们说孩子们学习语言最好)”形成转折关系，引出下文“We asked some of the polyglots (通晓多种语言的人) in TED’s Open Translation Project to share their secrets to mastering a foreign language.

【39题详解】
空处是该段段落小标题，由下文“Dmitrochenkova has a great idea: “A funny thing like resetting the language on your phone can help you learn new words right away,” she says.

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We have a problem that is deeply rooted in our world today. When it ___56___ (come) to the holidays, people tend to forget that it’s the season of giving rather than receiving. We tend to be more ___57___ (interest) in what we’ll receive on Christmas morning instead of looking at the holidays as an opportunity ___58___ (help) out those who don’t have it as good as we do. So how can we change the culture around the holidays and make sure that people are emphasizing the time to give as much ___59___ they are looking forward to opening up their stockings? This is a question worth ___60___ (think) about. Giving ___61___ (selfless) is the right thing to do, though many of us ___62___ (challenge) by the task. Whether or not we have much money to spare, it isn’t always easy to give away ___63___ we have worked so hard for, especially when we have set financial goals — saving for retirement, a vacation or a ___64___ (rain) day.

【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章讲述的是人们忘记了节日的初衷，只关注自己在节日时得到了什么，而不是把节日当作一个付出的时机。
【56题详解】
考查时态。句意：当谈及到假日，人们总是忘记这是一个付出的时刻而不是一个收获的时刻。“when it comes to...”是常见的一种表达，意思是“当谈及到”，主语为第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，故填comes。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。分析句子结构可知，这里考查的是be interested in这个固定短语的用法，意为“对……感兴趣”。故填interested。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词tend，所以help应用非谓语形式，此处应用不定式做opportunity的后置定语。故填to help。
【59题详解】
考查连词。句意：因此，我们该如何挑战节日文化来确保人们去重视这些付出的机会，就像人们重视期待圣诞袜里出现礼物一样呢?分析句子结构可知，这里有一个同级比较，as much as意为“和……一样多”，第一个as是副词，第二个as引导比较状语从句。故填as。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一个值得思考的问题。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配be worth doing意为“值得做某事”。故填thinking。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意：无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。修饰动词give，所以需要用副词形式，selfless的副词形式是selflessly。故填selflessly。
【62题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意：无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。分析句子结构可知，本句是though 引导的让步状语从句，challenge做从句谓语，根据语义，判断使用被动语态，再根据主句用的是一般现在时，从句也用一般现在时。故填are challenged。
【63题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：不管我们是否有多余的钱，把我们辛辛苦苦挣来的东西送给别人并不总是那么容易，尤其是当我们设定了财务目标——为退休、度假或不时之需而储蓄。即使有这么多不愿意的理由，付出的好处还是超过了所有这些。根据句子结构可知，空处引导的是宾语从句，从句中for后面缺宾语，指代事物，应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意：不管我们是否有多余的钱，把我们辛辛苦苦挣来的东西送给别人并不总是那么容易，尤其是当我们设定了财务目标——为退休、度假或不时之需而储蓄。即使有这么多不愿意的理由，付出的好处还是超过了所有这些。分析句子结构可知，空后是名词day，所以空处应填形容词修饰名词，rain的形容词形式是rainy，此处的rainy day，意思为“有困难的日子”。故填rainy。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意：当我们给予那些有需求的人帮助，我们就对他们以及我们的生活都产生积极的影响。根据句意，此处是固定短语make a difference to，意思为“对……产生影响”，故填to。

The Sports Day was fast coming to the school. All the children were very excited and were practicing for the big race. Jim, one of the fast runners of the school was confident that he would win so he was not doing anything at all. “You have to work hard to come first in the race, Jim. You are not practicing at all,” said Jim's mother.
“Mom, you know how fast I am! Then why should I waste my time running? Only I will win；no one else will win!” shouted Jim. “Jim, you may be right but talent without hard work is not good at all. This laziness of yours will cost you greatly,” his mother warned him. Jim just laughed and shrugged (耸肩) his shoulders. He was so confident that would win the prize as no one else in his class was as fast as he was!
Tim, a classmate of Jim was also participating in the running race. He was not a fast runner. However, he was very devoted and practiced till late night and had developed great endurance (耐力) and willpower (意志) to win the race.
There were a few days left for the Sports Day but Jim did not practice at all. On the other hand, Tim practiced day and night. The Sports Day was almost around the corner but Jim was confident that no one could beat him and had not practiced at all. But Tim with his devotion and hard work had become a very fast runner.
At last, the Sports Day arrived. All the students crowded the ground to cheer their favorites. The signal was given to the participants to begin the race. The coach blew the whistle and everyone began to run towards the finishing line. It was so exciting. Jim and Tim left all the racers far behind. Both of them were neck to neck.
