【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“With two documentaries—All That Breathes and The Elephant Whisperers—making it to the Oscars， there’s renewed interest in India’s diverse wildlife. However, most popular wildlife parks are usually expensive. Here are four less-known reserves that are not so costly but equally worth exploring.”（随着两部纪录片《万物呼吸》和《大象语者》入围奥斯卡，人们对印度多样化的野生动物重新产生了兴趣。然而，大多数受欢迎的野生动物园通常都很昂贵。这里有四个不太为人所知的保护区，虽然价格不高，但同样值得探索。）可知，人们选择这四个不太为人所知的保护区时考虑的是价格不高，故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二个黑体字部分“The 5,400 sq km reserve is the only one in India with three keystone species—Ganges river dolphin, ghariyal and red-crowned roof turtle—along with eight rare turtle species and about 300 species of migratory and resident birds”（这个5400平方公里的保护区是印度唯一一个拥有三种关键物种——恒河海豚、长尾海豚和赤冠顶龟——以及8种稀有海龟和约300种候鸟和留鸟的保护区。）可知，对于想看到不同海龟种类的人们而言，可以选择National Chambal Reserve。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“COST OF RIDE: 1,150 per head on elephant, 4,400 for a jeep with four people, 8,200 per person to 10,600 for six people in a boat.”（乘坐费用:大象每人₤1150美元，四人吉普车每人₤4400，六人乘船每人₤8200至₤10600）可知，乘坐大象每人需要₤1150，因而四个人需要₤1150*4=₤4600，故选B。
B
When 76-year-old Antoinette-Marie Williams played 17-year-old Emmett Daniels in chess for the first time, she gave Daniels a run for his money. Paired through DOROT, a New York organization which was launched in 1976, they are a perfect match. “I was a good opponent for him. I don’t think he expected it.” Williams told the CVS Health blog Fortune Well. Their weekly games have led Daniels and Williams to a cross-generational relationship that they both enjoy. Williams and Daniels’ relationship disproves the idea that people of different generations have little in common.
Since its founding, DOROT has achieved a reputation of excellence and innovation in the fields of aging services. Volunteers of young ages offer critical resources to older adults, in services specific to the person’s needs and interests, with the ultimate goal of lessening loneliness of the old.
Loneliness has been recognized as a significant social issue for many years, but the classification of loneliness as an epidemic(流行病) has emerged only in recent years. In 2018, the UK government appointed a Minister for Loneliness, highlighting the increasing concern around the issue. This followed the publication of the 2017 report by the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission, which found that loneliness was a growing social epidemic and called for a national strategy to address the issue.
Fortunately, there are ways to battle loneliness, including the intervention in the lives of isolated seniors by organizations like DOROT. It advocates building a support network by reaching out to family and friends, joining a community or social group, or volunteering to connect with like-minded people. The connection between Williams and Daniels shows that these inter-generational relationships play an important role in reducing loneliness and adding joy to the lives of all the participants, young and old.
Another way to battle loneliness is to use technology to stay connected with loved ones which fosters meaning and purpose through online activities and conversations. Practicing self-care is also encouraged, as is being patient because strong relationships take time and effort to create.
4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph l probably mean?
A. She had a running race with Daniels.
B. Daniels felt disappointed.
C. Daniels had a tough win.
D. She gave Daniels money as a gift of greeting.
5. What is the purpose of DOROT?
A. To make technological innovation.
B. To enhance the living standards of the elderly.
C. To offer job opportunities for people of all ages.
D. To provide seniors with inter-generational connection.
6. What does the author try to stress in paragraph 3?
A. The solution to loneliness.
B. The root cause of loneliness.
C. The classification of loneliness.
D. The growing attention to loneliness.
7. In which section of a newspaper does this passage probably come from?
A. Society Watch. B. News Express.
C. Page Turner. D. Science Study.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在老龄化服务领域取得了卓越和创新的声誉的DOROT。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中““I was a good opponent for him. I don’t think he expected it.” （“对他来说，我是一个很好的对手。我想他也没想到会这样。”）可知，对于17岁的Emmett Daniels来说，他没有想到76岁的Antoinette-Marie Williams在围棋方面的技艺高超，因此画线句的含义为“Daniels赢得很辛苦。”选项C符合题意，故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Their weekly games have led Daniels and Williams to a cross-generational relationship that they both enjoy. ”（他们每周的比赛让丹尼尔斯和威廉姆斯建立了他们都喜欢的跨代关系。）第二段“Since its founding, DOROT has achieved a reputation of excellence and innovation in the fields of aging services. Volunteers of young ages offer critical resources to older adults, in services specific to the person’s needs and interests, with the ultimate goal of lessening loneliness of the old.”（自成立以来，DOROT在老龄化服务领域取得了卓越和创新的声誉。年轻的志愿者为老年人提供重要的资源，针对个人的需求和兴趣提供服务，最终目标是减轻老年人的孤独感。）可知，DOROT从建立开始在老龄化服务领域就取得了卓越和创新的声誉，通过活动，帮助老人和年轻人建立了彼此都喜欢的跨代关系，即：其目的是为老年人提供代际联系，选项D符合题意，故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In 2018, the UK government appointed a Minister for Loneliness, highlighting the increasing concern around the issue. This followed the publication of the 2017 report by the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission, which found that loneliness was a growing social epidemic and called for a national strategy to address the issue.”（2018年，英国政府任命了一名解决老年人孤独问题的事务大臣，突显了人们对这一问题的日益关注。在此之前，乔·考克斯孤独委员会于2017年发布了一份报告，该报告发现孤独是一种日益严重的社会流行病，并呼吁制定一项国家战略来解决这一问题。）可知，英国政府通过任命专门人员来解决老年人孤独问题，突显了人们对这一问题的日益关注，因而作者在本段主要强调政府对老人孤独问题的关注。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了在老龄化服务领域取得了卓越和创新的声誉的DOROT，同时在第三段中也提到了政府对老人孤独问题的关注。因而文章主要描述的是老龄化的孤独问题，所以文章可能来自“社会关注”板块，故选A。
C
Several years ago, I was at a pre-season football practice at a high school where I was working with the team on a concussion (脑震荡) research project. The players were lined up in two rows facing each other and with little more instruction from the coach than, “on the whistle, hit the man across from you”, great concern rushed through my mind.
Professional sports get the lion’s share of attention, but over three million children and teenagers in the United States play the same game. This directly places concussions as a significant public health concern for all.
However, for decades, concussion has been considered a temporary injury with no long-term consequences. Many athletes will do just about anything to stay on the field and “play through the pain” as a sign of toughness. In 2005, with the release of the brain tissue pathology (病理学) report of Mike Webster a, a retired National Football League player, our thinking on concussion began to shift. Since then, public attention has focused on this link between brain injury and blows to the head. As our understanding of concussion progressed to understanding its significance as an injury, so too did the development of player equipment.
In the early 1900s football was played without helmets (头盔), but severe injuries, like skull fractures, led to the occasional use of leather helmets in the 1920s.The first facemask entered the game in the 1950s. Modern helmets use advanced shell materials, have moveable panels to absorb forces, and multi-layered padding that responds to different impacts. Companies will continue to improve helmets as new materials become available, guided by the newest science.
Sports are an important part of a society’s culture and they give millions of children much-needed exercise. Yet, participation in any sport carries injury risk, and concussion will always be part of that. As those children become adults and make sport their hobby or even career, ensuring them play safely at all levels is essential.
8. What made the author feel concerned?
A. The coach’s in experience.
B. The physical conflicts among the players.
C. Unawareness of the potential injuries.
D. Unpredictable outcome of the project.
9. What did athletes use to do when meeting with sports-related concussion?
A. They tended to ignore it.
B. They felt scared about it.
C. They quit playing immediately.
D They refused medical assistance.
10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the helmet?
A. Its gradual improvement.
B. Its widespread influence.
C. The discovery of its new materials.
D. The difficulty of its mass production.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Exercise is vital for children.
B. Sports safety can’t be overemphasized.
C. No participation in sports is without injuries.
D. Concussion is the most common injury in sports.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述运动中的安全问题，以脑震荡为例，由一开始的忽视到后来得到重视的过程，来以此告诉我们运动中安全问题至关重要。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的句子“Several years ago, I was at a pre-season football practice at a high school where I was working with the team on a concussion research project. The players were lined up in two rows facing each other and with little more instruction from the coach than, “on the whistle, hit the man across from you”, great concern rushed through my mind.（几年前，我在一所高中参加季前足球训练，当时我正与球队一起进行脑震荡研究项目。球员们面对面排成两排，在教练的指导下，‘哨声一响起，就打你对面的那个人’，我的脑海里闪过极大的担忧）”可知，作者当时正与球队一起进行脑震荡研究项目，而教练命令队员去打对面的人，由此可推论出，作者一定是担心教练没有意识到其中潜在的伤害。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“However, for decades, concussion has been considered a temporary injury with no long-term consequences. Many athletes will do just about anything to stay on the field and ‘play through the pain’ as a sign of toughness.（然而，几十年来，脑震荡一直被认为是一种暂时的伤害，没有长期后果。许多运动员会尽一切努力留在赛场上，‘带伤比赛’，以此作为坚韧的象征）”可知，运动员在遇到与运动相关的脑震荡时往往会忽视它。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段的内容“In the early 1900s football was played without helmets (头盔), but severe injuries, like skull fractures, led to the occasional use of leather helmets in the 1920s.The first facemask entered the game in the 1950s. Modern helmets use advanced shell materials, have moveable panels to absorb forces, and multi-layered padding that responds to different impacts. Companies will continue to improve helmets as new materials become available, guided by the newest science.（在20世纪初，足球是不戴头盔的，但20世纪20年代，颅骨骨折等严重损伤导致偶尔使用皮头盔。20世纪50年代，第一个面罩进入了比赛。现代头盔使用先进的外壳材料，有可移动的面板来吸收力，还有多层衬垫来应对不同的冲击。随着新材料的出现，公司将在最新科学的指导下继续改进头盔）”可知，该段主要是说运动员所戴头盔的改进与变化。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的最后两句“Yet, participation in any sport carries injury risk, and concussion will always be part of that. As those children become adults and make sport their hobby or even career, ensuring them play safely at all levels is essential.（然而，参加任何运动都有受伤的风险，脑震荡永远是其中的一部分。随着这些孩子长大成人，把运动作为他们的爱好甚至职业，确保他们在各个层面上的运动安全至关重要）”可以推论出，运动安全怎么强调都不为过。故选B项。
D
People generally feel secure with certainty. To be certain is to have power and control. Certainty is often used as a metric (衡量标准) of value, shaping how people view themselves and others. For example, people tend to respect those who present themselves ascertain while viewing those who express uncertainty as wishy-washy, and untrustworthy. Young people growing up in a culture that identifies strongly with certainty are told that to be certain is to be secure, right, and good. It is the idea, more than uncertainty itself, that causes great anxiety.
But the reality is that certainty is transient; it is more a feeling than a fact. Too often people act as if certainties are drawn in permanent marker: Thick, clear, definitive, and rigid. But they are not. They are actually drawn with pencil—ready for revision, editing, and change.
Spring tide’s recent report, The State of Religion and Young People: Navigating Uncertainty, allows us to hear how young people are questioning certainty and increasingly rejecting the rules that isolate them from themselves and one another. Milly, a 25-year-old quoted in the report, described her experience in a group discussion where uncertainty was welcomed rather than criticized：
“Like, struggling to know what or what not to believe....That’s something we talked about in the group. It actually makes me feel a little bit better. It’s like, oh, like we can have doubts. We can struggle with these feelings and they’re still, we’re still accepted, you know? So that was actually kind of refreshing” (Spring tide, 2021, p.46).
Young people are not rejecting certainty, but they are not accepting prepackaged answers or one-dimensional solutions. They are reexamining pre-drawn labels, beliefs, and identities and daring to ask “Why?” Their courage to question is an invitation to all of us to reconsider and rediscover uncertainty. We can listen to and learn from young people, embracing(拥抱)this opportunity as a moment of critical self-reflection and growth. If we will accept uncertainties, we might discover the ways that multiple beliefs, practices, values, identities, and communities can coexist and develop together.
12. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To explain a concept.
B. To advocate a culture.
C. To introduce a different opinion.
D. To confirm an assumption.
13. What does the underlined word “transient” probably mean in paragraph 2?
A. Changeable. B. Predictable.
C. Popular. D. Objective.
14. What was Milly’s attitude towards the group discussion?
A. Intolerant. B. Doubtful.
C. Unconcerned. D. Positive.
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Unmask the Culture of Certainty
B. Embrace the Gift of Uncertainty
C. Certainty: Should It Be Rejected by the Young?
D. Uncertainty: Should It Be Blamed for Anxiety?
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述人们要接受现实中的不确定性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“For example, people tend to respect those who present themselves ascertain while viewing those who express uncertainty as wishy-washy, and untrustworthy. Young people growing up in a culture that identifies strongly with certainty are told that to be certain is to be secure, right, and good. It is the idea, more than uncertainty itself, that causes great anxiety.”（例如，人们倾向于尊重那些表现得很确定的人，而认为那些表现得不确定的人是优柔寡断的，不值得信任的。在一种强烈认同确定性的文化中长大的年轻人被告知，确定性意味着安全、正确和良好。正是这种想法，而不是不确定性本身，引发了极大的焦虑。）可知，本段通过列举事实，讲述了人们对表现出确定和不确定性的人们所表现出的不同态度，故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Too often people act as if certainties are drawn in permanent marker: Thick, clear, definitive, and rigid. But they are not. They are actually drawn with pencil—ready for revision, editing, and change.”（人们常常认为确定性是用永久的记号画出来的:厚重、清晰、明确、死板。但事实并非如此。它们实际上是用铅笔绘制的，随时可以修改、编辑和更改。）可知，确定性的特征是随时可以修改、编辑和更改，因而划线词此处指“可变的”，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Milly, a 25-year-old quoted in the report, described her experience in a group discussion where uncertainty was welcomed rather than criticized”（25岁的米莉(Milly)在报告中引用了她在一次小组讨论中的经历，在小组讨论中，不确定性受到欢迎而不是批评。）可知，Milly认为，不确定性应该受到欢迎而不是批评。即Milly的态度是赞同的。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，文章在第一段中提到人们对表现出确定和不确定性的人们所表现出的不同态度，第二段讲到现实中，确定性是短暂的，是可变的。第三、四段提到Milly认为，不确定性应该受到欢迎；最后一段提到年轻人并不排斥确定性，但他们不接受预先包装好的答案或单一的解决方案。所以文章主要讲述人们对于要接受现实中的不确定性。选项B符合题意，故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了中国针灸的发源、作用原理，因其独特的贡献而被联合国教科文组织列为非物质文化遗产。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中国针灸，也被称为“神针”艺术，是中国传统医学的一个分支。branch“分支”为可数名词，结合上文“Chinese acupuncture”可知，这里指单数含义，所以空处用不定冠词a，故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：它的历史可以追溯到石器时代。空处在句中为后置定语，短语：date back to“起源于，追溯到”，无被动，所以此处用现在分词形式。故填dating。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：它已被用于治疗各种各样的健康问题，如剧烈疼痛、运动损伤、抑郁等。形容词修饰名词，结合空前“a wide”可知，此处应用单数名词variety，故填variety。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：世界卫生组织推荐它作为100多种医学问题的良好治疗方法。短语：recommend...as...“推荐……作为……”，as为介词，故填as。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：它是如何作用的呢? 特殊的细针被插入你身体的目标部位。形容词修饰名词，空后points为名词，所以空处用形容词。动词target和名词points为动宾关系，所以此处用形容词targeted，意为“定向的”，故填targeted。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：通常，穴位的数量在1到12之间，这取决于你的身体状况。空处为陈述性状语，处于句首，所以用副词Typically，故填Typically。
【42题详解】
考查比较级。句意：针头被推入皮肤下方，但在某些情况下，为了到达肌肉组织，它们会被推得更深一些。根据句中“The needles are pushed just under the skin”及“in order to reach the muscle tissue”可知，这里要使用比较级，表示“为了到达肌肉组织，针要刺的更深”，故填deeper。
43题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：它背后信念是疾病和疼痛的发生是因为体内的能量(或气)被阻塞。分析句子可知。空处及之后的内容在句中为表语从句，空后的句子结构完整，成分齐全，所以此处使用从属连词that来连接，故填that。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：当这种能量和谐平衡时，人类是最快乐和健康的。治疗后，你会感到无比的放松和平静。空处在句中为主语，结合空后的are可知，此处用名词复数，因处于句首，所以首字母大写。故填Humans。
【45题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：由于其独特的贡献，中国针灸在2010年被联合国教科文组织列为非物质文化遗产，充分表明了其在世界范围内的认可。空处在句中为谓语，结合句中“in 2010”可知，时态为一般过去时；主语“Chinese acupuncture”为单数含义，与动词name为动宾关系，所以空处填was named，故填was named。

【答案】 A recent survey regarding After-school Activities was conducted in our school.
As can be seen from the pie chart, the majority of the students surveyed, about 56%, tended to do homework after school. By contrast, playing computer games, doing sports and reading books proved to be less popular, accounting for 22%, 13% and 9% respectively.
In my view, the trend mentioned above is basically due to the mounting pressure. To help students get fully developed, it’s sensible to balance study and relaxation---workout and book-reading should be given priority while less time should be spent on screens. Plus, more diverse extracurricular activities should be provided to cater to different interests and talents.

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。
“Go home and ask your mummy about your blind brother! I am surprised you didn’t know that he is as blind a sabat!” Hearing Nathan’swords, I wanted to land a blow on him for making fun of my two-year-old brother, David, but I was more desperate to find out the truth.
With a misty vision, I ran home as fast as I could. Still out of breath, I questioned, “Is David blind?” Mother turned to me with tears in her eyes. “Yes, he’s born blind.” It was a heartbreaking moment. I knew clearly the dream of showing David my cool soccer moves or playing videogames with him ended cruelly. “Why did you keep the truth from me? I often wondered why he didn’t look at me or why he was always tripping over things and I thought it was because he was still too young...” Before I could continue any further, mother hugged me and cried, “I’m sorry, Caleb. Dad and I just didn’t know how to tell you.”
Suddenly, it struck me that David was blind but he could still hear the whole conversation. Not wanting him to be affected by it, I stopped crying and went forward and embraced him. “I love you so much, David.” Worry crept upon me: How hard life would be for him!
Little did I know that David was to inspire me so greatly.
As David grew up, he was fairly strong-willed. Despite the challenges that he faced, he continued to attend the school for visually impaired children. He insisted he would take the bus home on his own. Often, he would walk through the main door looking sheepish and saying the same phrase, “Sorry Mum, I am late. I boarded the wrong bus again.”
Tough as life was, there was always silver lining of misfortune. Despite not being able to see, he could play a piece of music after listening to it being played once on the piano. He even dreamed of playing solo (独奏) one day onstage. Luckily for him, the school had discovered David’s extraordinary talent.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

One day, David burst through the main door excitedly.

Tapping the ground with his walking stick, David entered the stage.

【答案】范文
One day, David burst through the main door excitedly. Unable to conceal his delight and thrill, he announced that the school would like him to play solo at the school musical concert. The whole family was extremely thrilled for him, for it was a perfect opportunity to realize his music dream. There was also a bit worry that he might suffer a blow in case of a failure, which threw us into a hint of uneasiness. But we had faith in him. The following days witnessed him repeatedly practicing the chosen music skillfully. Then came the big day when he would go onstage.
Tapping the ground with his walking stick. David entered the stage. With the widest smile on his face, he walked towards the grand piano located in the middle of the stage. I sat up with anticipation, heart filled with pride. His fingers flew on the keys as his music filled the air of the 500-seat concert hall. After the last note was played, the whole hall erupted into applause. David stood up and took a bow, smiling broadly as the spotlight shone brightly on him. He would always be an inspiration to me. Through him, I learned having an unflagging spirit could overcome challenges and David truly had that.
