I used t fancy myself a pretty gd vacatiner. But n my family's recent week-lng trip t Mexic ur first real getaway since the pandemic began—I gt mixed up.
The huge difference between the expectatins and the realities f travel hit me a few hurs after we landed in Cab SanLucas, Mexic. Driving ur rental car t Walmart t buy grceries, we fund urselves stuck in stand-still traffic fr ver tw hurs. I cmfrted myself with the thught that nce we arrived, my vacatin self wuld emerge: relaxed, flexible and ready fr a surfing fllwed by a margarita(玛格丽塔酒) n the beach—while wearing ne f several sundresses that had been gathering dust in my clset since 2020.
Readers, I did nt.
First, I was defeated by what I will well refer t as “traveler's stmach.” Then, I was scared ut f surfing by waves that seemed t messy and pwerful fr my skills. A chilly fg kept me frm unrlling the sundresses I'd carefully packed, and I ended up wrapped in the same sweat-shirt that I wre n the airplane. All seemed ruined.
During the episde, I nearly drve myself crazy by asking cnstantly, “Hw can I make this better'? Can I find a different rute in the traffic?” But it was just abut acceptance: getting int the mment, accepting what it is, and trusting—trusting this may nt be the best mment f the vacatin, but there can still be gd mments f the vacatin.
Indeed, I nticed a shift in my md. At sme stage I did drink a margarita. Eventually, I had an enjyable afternn f surfing in the sun. But when I fndly remember this vacatin nw, I mre ften return t curling up n the htel cuch with my husband, watching “Stranger Things” in sweats; r sitting sand-caked n the beach watching ur daughter digging with a lcal girl. In thse small mments, I was simply present. That's what vacatin is all abut.
4. Hw did the authr feel n her way t Walmart?
A. Relaxed and expectant.B. Upset but hpeful.
C. Disappinted and defeated.D. Delighted but cncerned.
5. What prevented the authr frm wearing the sundress?
A. Sharp stmachache.B. Huge waves.
C. Cld weather.D. Favred sweat-shirts.
6. What can we learn abut the authr as the vacatin went n?
A. She preferred t stay in the htel.
B. She sught fr better enjyments.
C. She achieved the gals as scheduled.
D. She embraced the imperfect mments.
7. What is the purpse f the text?
A. T share reflectins n a trip.
B. T prvide advice n a getaway.
C. T prmte turism in Mexic.
D. T infrm challenges f a vacatin.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要分享了作者在疫情期间一次不太美妙的旅行经历。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Driving ur rental car t Walmart t buy grceries, we fund urselves stuck in stand-still traffic fr ver tw hurs. I cmfrted myself with the thught that nce we arrived, my vacatin self wuld emerge: relaxed, flexible and ready fr a surfing fllwed by a margarita(玛格丽塔酒) n the beach（我们开着租来的车去沃尔玛买食品杂货，发现自己被堵住了两个多小时。我安慰自己，以为一旦我们到达，我的假期就会自己浮现出来：放松、灵活，准备好冲浪，然后在海滩上喝一杯玛格丽塔酒）”可知，作者因为堵车心情沮丧，但同时对于即将到来的假期充满了希望，故选择B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“A chilly fg kept me frm unrlling the sundresses I'd carefully packed, and I ended up wrapped in the same sweat-shirt that I wre n the airplane.（寒冷的雾气使我无法展开我精心打包的背心裙，最后我穿着和在飞机上穿的一样的汗衫。）”可知，作者因为寒冷的天气而未能穿上背心裙，故选择C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“But it was just abut acceptance: getting int the mment, accepting what it is, and trusting—trusting this may nt be the best mment f the vacatin, but there can still be gd mments f the vacatin.（但这只是一种接受：进入当下，接受现实，相信——相信——这可能不是假期中最好的时刻，但假期中仍有美好的时刻。）”可知，旅行继续时，作者接受了这些不完美的时刻，故选择D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。结合全文以及文章的第一段“I used t fancy myself a pretty gd vacatiner. But n my family's recent week-lng trip t Mexic ur first real getaway since the pandemic began—I gt mixed up.（我以前以为自己是个很好的度假者。但在我的家人最近为期一周的墨西哥之行中，这是疫情爆发以来我们第一次真正的度假——我被搞糊涂了。）”可知，本文的主要目的在于分享自己在疫情爆发后的一次旅行中的感想，故选择A项。

US astrnaut Mae Jemisn was nly a little girl back in the 1960s. But she was ld enugh t knw there was smething strange with the Apll astrnauts as she watched them g int space n TV: They were all men-n wmen culd be seen.
“That was the mst absurd thing in the wrld,” Jemisn, nw an astrnaut herself, nce tld The Atantic.“I just thugh, wuld the aliens actually think this is all there is t humanity”.
Frtunately, the past five decades have seen the wrld becming a less “absurd” place. Frm NASA’s first astrnaut class in 1959, which was all-male, t its 2013 class, in which half f all eight members were wmen, we can see hw things are changing.
And n March 29,anther histry was abut t be made when an all-female team-Anne McClain and Christina Kch - was scheduled t make an “all-wmen spacewalk” since all previus spacewalks were dne with at least ne male astrnaut. But that plan was eventually can celled, due t “spacesuit availability”,which means NASA desn’t have tw suits that fit wmen.
The wrld is still pretty “absurd” after all.
In fact, tests have lng prved that wmen are nt at all less cmpetent than men when it cmes t space tasks. But apparently, test results are nt enugh t fight ff the wrld’s lng-existing biases against wmen.Accrding t Atlas Obscura magazine, female astrnauts were smetimes asked sexist questins during news cnferences - examples include hw they wuld live fr a week withut makeup, r hw they culd leave their children behind t g n space missins - when male astrnauts were never bthered by such questins.
Hpefully - give it anther few decades - we’ll be able t see a wrld that’s fully grwn ut f its absurdity in terms f gender equality. And hpefully, when aliens d cme visit ne f ur space statins,they’ll see humanity the way it shuld be.
8. Which f the fllwing descriptins fits Mae Jemisn?
A. When she was yung in 1960s, she knew nthing f the Apll astrnauts.
B. She believed that the aliens thught there was n wman n earth.
C. She fund it unfair t see all the Apll astrnauts were men.
D. She wanted t be ne f the Apll astrnauts.
9. What happened in NASA accrding t paragraph 4?
A. The astrnauts class which were male became all female in 2013.
B. An all-female team made “all wmen spacewalk ”plan cme true.
C. “All wmen spacewalk” plan was canceled because f astrnauts’ability.
D. The shrtage f space suits upset the “all wmen spacewalk”plan.
10. We can draw the cnclusin frm the tests that___
A. Wmen are mre cmpetent than men in space tasks.
B. Despite the results, the wrld’s lng-existing biases against wmen still exists.
C. It is difficult fr wmen nt t use makeup fr wrk.
D. Male astrnauts never leave children behind t g n space missins.
11. What view did the authr hld in the last paragraph?
A. When aliens visit ur space statins, they will sce mre human beings.
B. He believes that there will be n absurdity abut the equality between men and wmen.
C. The wrld may becme ne full f humans and aliens.
D. Our space statin will grw fully in anther few decades.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。从美国女宇航员梅•杰米森的视角，简述了宇航员从只有男宇航员到现在有女宇航员这一转变，但依然存在的对女宇航员的偏见，作者相信未来的世界是一个在性别平等方面完全摆脱荒谬的世界。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“But she was ld enugh t knw there was smething strange with the Apll astrnauts as she watched them g int space n TV: They were all men-n wmen culd be seen.(但是，当她在电视上看到阿波罗号的宇航员们进入太空时，她知道他们有些奇怪:他们都是男人——没有女人。)”可知梅·杰米森对阿波罗号的宇航员是有所了解的，并不是一无所知，故A项不符合题意；根据第二段的最后一句““I just thugh, wuld the aliens actually think this is all there is t humanity”.(“我只是在想，外星人真的会认为这就是人类的全部吗?”)”可知梅·杰米森认为外星人不会相信地球上只有男性，故B选项不符合题意；根据第一段的最后一句“They were all men-n wmen culd be seen.(他们都是男人——没有女人)”及第二段““That was the mst absurd thing in the wrld,” Jemisn, nw an astrnaut herself, nce tld The Atantic.“I just thugh, wuld the aliens actually think this is all there is t humanity”.(“这是世界上最荒谬的事情，”杰米森曾经告诉《大西洋月刊》(the atlantic)，她自己现在也是一名宇航员。“我只是在想，外星人真的会认为这就是人类的全部吗?”)” 可知梅•杰米森认为阿波罗号的宇航员们都是男性是非常不公平，故C选项符合题意；D选项的表述在文章中没有表述和体现。综上所述，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句“But that plan was eventually can celled, due t “spacesuit availability”, which means NASA desn’t have tw suits that fit wmen.(但由于“航天服可用性”的原因，这一计划最终无法实现，这意味着美国宇航局没有两套适合女性的航天服。)”可知由于航天服短缺的原因，女宇航员团队进入太空的计划被取消了。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章整体结构可知文章的倒数第二段是一个转折段，也是文章表述的重点之所在，根据倒数第二段的前两句“In fact, tests have lng prved that wmen are nt at all less cmpetent than men when it cmes t space tasks. But apparently, test results are nt enugh t fight ff the wrld’s lng-existing biases against wmen.( 事实上，长期以来的测试证明，在太空任务方面，女性的能力并不逊于男性。但显然，测试结果不足以消除世界上长期存在的对女性的偏见)”可推知虽然女性的能力并不逊于男性，但这不足以消除世界上长期存在的对女性的偏见。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句“Hpefully - give it anther few decades - we’ll be able t see a wrld that’s fully grwn ut f its absurdity in terms f gender equality.( 希望是——再给它几十年——我们能看到一个在性别平等方面完全摆脱荒谬的世界。)”可知作者相信未来的世界是一个在性别平等方面完全摆脱荒谬的世界。故选B。

【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“Frm February t March 2021, the number jumped by 51 percent cmpared with the same perid during 2019.Fr bys, the increase was 4 percent Early research frm MIT suggested the suicide rate fr peple aged 10 t 19 increased in 2020, cmpared with befre the pandemic. Mre recently, CDC prvisinal data fr 2021 shwed an increase in the natinal rate frm 2020 t 2021,especially fr peple ages 15 t 24.(从2021年2月到3月，这一数字比2019年同期增长了51%。对于男孩来说，增长了4%。麻省理工学院的早期研究表明，与疫情前相比，2020年10至19岁人群的自杀率有所上升。最近，疾病预防控制中心2021年的临时数据显示，从2020年到2021年，全国发病率有所上升，尤其是15至24岁的人群。)”可知，12岁至17岁的女孩因疑似自杀未遂而去医院急诊室的人数激增。可推断出划线单词的意思和“增长”相关。选项A“Accunted (解释)”；选项B“Bsted (增加)”；选项C“Reduced (减少)”；选项D“Accused (控告)”。故选B。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In the United States, children f clr were hit the hardest, anther study fund. It estimated that Black and Hispanic children had a higher rate f caregiver lss at nearly twice that f White children.(另一项研究发现，在美国，有色人种儿童受到的打击最大。据估计，黑人和西班牙裔儿童失去照顾者的比率较高，几乎是白人儿童的两倍。)”可推断出，黑人和西班牙裔儿童比白人和非西班牙裔儿童失去照顾者的比率更高。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。悖论不仅存在于哲学辩论中，也存在于我们的日常生活中，接受“悖论观念”可以提高生产力和创造力。
【16题详解】
根据前文“The chicken r the egg — which came first? It’s prbably ne f the mst cmmnly cited paradxes — a chicken hatches frm an egg, s the egg came first, right?(先有鸡还是先有蛋？这可能是最常被引用的悖论之一——鸡是从蛋里孵出来的，所以先有蛋，对吧？)”可知，此处是讨论先有鸡还是先有蛋的问题，所以选项A“那是什么下的蛋呢？”切合文意。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Hw can wrk be flexible but maintain structure? Hw can we switch ff if we’re wrking frm hme?(如何在保持工作结构的同时保持工作的灵活性？如果我们在家工作，我们怎么才算下班呢？)”可知，此处是指悖论也存在于日常生活中，所以选项D“悖论不仅存在于哲学辩论中，也存在于我们的日常生活中。”切合文意。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Fr example, embracing change may lead t bum-ut, while embracing stability may lead t bredm.(例如，拥抱变化可能会导致倦怠，而拥抱稳定可能会导致无聊)”和前文“A paradx cnsists f tw realities that exist at the same time — even thugh that seems impssible.(悖论是由同时存在的两种现实构成的——尽管这似乎是不可能的)”可知，此处是讲如果只选择悖论的一面就会带来问题，所以选项F“如果你只接受其中一种现实而忽视另一种，就会引发问题。”切合文意。故选F。

The thery f relativity was brn ut f the paradx that smething culd be mving and statinary at the same time, depending n perspective.(想想爱因斯坦。相对论诞生于一个悖论，即某物可以同时处于运动和静止状态，这取决于观察角度)”和前文“Sme experts have fund the acceptance f bth realities and a willingness t embrace them can imprve bth creativity and prductivity by allwing yu t navigate a path thrugh the cntradictins.(一些专家发现，接受这两种现实并愿意接受它们，可以让你在矛盾中找到一条路，从而提高创造力和生产力)”可知，此处是讲天才往往会接受悖论，并激发出无穷的创造力和生产力，所以选项G“1996年一项针对天才的研究发现，这些思考者会花时间思考对立面和对照面。”切合文意。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。预制菜已经成为如今的热门话题之一，文章对预制菜的现状进行了介绍了分析，而预制菜市场的快速发展，也需要相关法规的跟进。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意：在中国，预制食品——又称即食食品行业——越来越受欢迎，已经成为资本的宠儿。分析句子可知，该句的主语是The grwing ppularity即预制菜逐渐增加的受欢迎度，谓语动词为使役动词has made，空处需要宾语，而a capital darling则是宾语补足语，结合句意推知，这里要表达预制菜逐渐受到欢迎这一事实使得预制菜成为了资本的宠儿，应用代词it指代已经提到的pre-cked fd。故填it。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：但在过去两年中，从餐厅到家庭餐桌的转变，迅速将预制菜推向了大众消费市场。分析句子可知，句中使用了时间状语in the past tw years，表明动作发生于过去并持续到现在，符合现在完成时have/has+过去分词，且主语a shift为第三人称单数。故填has brught。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：预制菜满足了新一代消费者对更健康、更有特色餐饮的偏好。空处作谓语动词meet的宾语，需要名词，此处指“满足了偏好”，f后接的内容为偏好的具体内容，显然不是单一内容，要用复数形式。故填preferences。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：报道称，2021年中国预制菜市场的收入约为5500亿元人民币，预计未来五年的复合增长率为13%。分析句子可知，空处在冠词an之后、grwth rate之前作定语，expect与grwth rate之间是动宾关系（即人们预期增长率，增长率被预期），应用过去分词形式表示“预期的，预料的”。故填expected。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：7月中旬，一家名为趣店的金融科技公司的创始人罗敏，在抖音（中国版TikTk）上使用个人账号销售预制菜，位居电商销售榜榜首。此处要特指公司的创始人，符合名词所有格短语the…f…。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：7月中旬，一家名为趣店的金融科技公司的创始人罗敏，在抖音（中国版TikTk）上使用个人账号销售预制菜，位居电商销售榜榜首。分析句子结构可知，use所在句子在这里作状语，use与主句主语LuMin之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词形式。故填using。
【42题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：仅仅一场直播就创造了2.52亿元人民币的销售额，超过了去年的销售额。空处在mre than后又开启了一个句子，考虑宾语从句，结合句意推知，此处在把单场直播获得的销售额与去年的销售额做比较，it即指代wrth f sales，宾语从句要表达“（超过了）去年的销售额”，引导词作表语，应用连接代词what。故填what。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：然而，市场上预制菜的质量仍然参差不齐，这些产品缺少详细的标签信息，物流和配送也存在问题。由空后句子的内容可知，该段在表达目前预制菜的质量还存在诸多问题，此处应用uneven作表语表示“质量不稳定的，不均匀的”。故填uneven。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：未经事先通知，餐厅使用预制菜代替厨师现做的菜，损害了消费者的知情权和选择权。由句意表达的“预制菜的使用损害了消费者权益”推知，此处的前提是没有事先让消费者知晓，则应用介词withut表示“没有，不（伴随）”。故填Withut。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：未经事先通知，餐厅使用预制菜代替厨师现做的菜，损害了消费者的知情权和选择权。分析句子可知，replace在这里作目的状语，应用不定式。故填t replace。

I used t fancy myself a pretty gd vacatiner. But n my family's recent week-lng trip t Mexic ur first real getaway since the pandemic began—I gt mixed up.
The huge difference between the expectatins and the realities f travel hit me a few hurs after we landed in Cab SanLucas, Mexic. Driving ur rental car t Walmart t buy grceries, we fund urselves stuck in stand-still traffic fr ver tw hurs. I cmfrted myself with the thught that nce we arrived, my vacatin self wuld emerge: relaxed, flexible and ready fr a surfing fllwed by a margarita(玛格丽塔酒) n the beach—while wearing ne f several sundresses that had been gathering dust in my clset since 2020.
Readers, I did nt.
First, I was defeated by what I will well refer t as “traveler's stmach.” Then, I was scared ut f surfing by waves that seemed t messy and pwerful fr my skills. A chilly fg kept me frm unrlling the sundresses I'd carefully packed, and I ended up wrapped in the same sweat-shirt that I wre n the airplane. All seemed ruined.
During the episde, I nearly drve myself crazy by asking cnstantly, “Hw can I make this better'? Can I find a different rute in the traffic?” But it was just abut acceptance: getting int the mment, accepting what it is, and trusting—trusting this may nt be the best mment f the vacatin, but there can still be gd mments f the vacatin.
Indeed, I nticed a shift in my md. At sme stage I did drink a margarita. Eventually, I had an enjyable afternn f surfing in the sun. But when I fndly remember this vacatin nw, I mre ften return t curling up n the htel cuch with my husband, watching “Stranger Things” in sweats; r sitting sand-caked n the beach watching ur daughter digging with a lcal girl. In thse small mments, I was simply present. That's what vacatin is all abut.
4. Hw did the authr feel n her way t Walmart?
A. Relaxed and expectant.B. Upset but hpeful.
C. Disappinted and defeated.D. Delighted but cncerned.
5. What prevented the authr frm wearing the sundress?
A. Sharp stmachache.B. Huge waves.
C. Cld weather.D. Favred sweat-shirts.
6. What can we learn abut the authr as the vacatin went n?
A. She preferred t stay in the htel.
B. She sught fr better enjyments.
C. She achieved the gals as scheduled.
D. She embraced the imperfect mments.
7. What is the purpse f the text?

C. T prmte turism in Mexic.
D. T infrm challenges f a vacatin.

US astrnaut Mae Jemisn was nly a little girl back in the 1960s. But she was ld enugh t knw there was smething strange with the Apll astrnauts as she watched them g int space n TV: They were all men-n wmen culd be seen.
“That was the mst absurd thing in the wrld,” Jemisn, nw an astrnaut herself, nce tld The Atantic.“I just thugh, wuld the aliens actually think this is all there is t humanity”.
Frtunately, the past five decades have seen the wrld becming a less “absurd” place. Frm NASA’s first astrnaut class in 1959, which was all-male, t its 2013 class, in which half f all eight members were wmen, we can see hw things are changing.
And n March 29,anther histry was abut t be made when an all-female team-Anne McClain and Christina Kch - was scheduled t make an “all-wmen spacewalk” since all previus spacewalks were dne with at least ne male astrnaut. But that plan was eventually can celled, due t “spacesuit availability”,which means NASA desn’t have tw suits that fit wmen.
The wrld is still pretty “absurd” after all.
In fact, tests have lng prved that wmen are nt at all less cmpetent than men when it cmes t space tasks. But apparently, test results are nt enugh t fight ff the wrld’s lng-existing biases against wmen.Accrding t Atlas Obscura magazine, female astrnauts were smetimes asked sexist questins during news cnferences - examples include hw they wuld live fr a week withut makeup, r hw they culd leave their children behind t g n space missins - when male astrnauts were never bthered by such questins.
Hpefully - give it anther few decades - we’ll be able t see a wrld that’s fully grwn ut f its absurdity in terms f gender equality. And hpefully, when aliens d cme visit ne f ur space statins,they’ll see humanity the way it shuld be.
8. Which f the fllwing descriptins fits Mae Jemisn?
A. When she was yung in 1960s, she knew nthing f the Apll astrnauts.
B. She believed that the aliens thught there was n wman n earth.
C. She fund it unfair t see all the Apll astrnauts were men.
D. She wanted t be ne f the Apll astrnauts.
9. What happened in NASA accrding t paragraph 4?
A. The astrnauts class which were male became all female in 2013.
B. An all-female team made “all wmen spacewalk ”plan cme true.
C. “All wmen spacewalk” plan was canceled because f astrnauts’ability.
D. The shrtage f space suits upset the “all wmen spacewalk”plan.
10. We can draw the cnclusin frm the tests that___
A. Wmen are mre cmpetent than men in space tasks.
B. Despite the results, the wrld’s lng-existing biases against wmen still exists.
C. It is difficult fr wmen nt t use makeup fr wrk.
D. Male astrnauts never leave children behind t g n space missins.
11. What view did the authr hld in the last paragraph?
A. When aliens visit ur space statins, they will sce mre human beings.
B. He believes that there will be n absurdity abut the equality between men and wmen.
C. The wrld may becme ne full f humans and aliens.
D. Our space statin will grw fully in anther few decades.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。从美国女宇航员梅•杰米森的视角，简述了宇航员从只有男宇航员到现在有女宇航员这一转变，但依然存在的对女宇航员的偏见，作者相信未来的世界是一个在性别平等方面完全摆脱荒谬的世界。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“But she was ld enugh t knw there was smething strange with the Apll astrnauts as she watched them g int space n TV: They were all men-n wmen culd be seen.(但是，当她在电视上看到阿波罗号的宇航员们进入太空时，她知道他们有些奇怪:他们都是男人——没有女人。)”可知梅·杰米森对阿波罗号的宇航员是有所了解的，并不是一无所知，故A项不符合题意；根据第二段的最后一句““I just thugh, wuld the aliens actually think this is all there is t humanity”.(“我只是在想，外星人真的会认为这就是人类的全部吗?”)”可知梅·杰米森认为外星人不会相信地球上只有男性，故B选项不符合题意；根据第一段的最后一句“They were all men-n wmen culd be seen.(他们都是男人——没有女人)”及第二段““That was the mst absurd thing in the wrld,” Jemisn, nw an astrnaut herself, nce tld The Atantic.“I just thugh, wuld the aliens actually think this is all there is t humanity”.(“这是世界上最荒谬的事情，”杰米森曾经告诉《大西洋月刊》(the atlantic)，她自己现在也是一名宇航员。“我只是在想，外星人真的会认为这就是人类的全部吗?”)” 可知梅•杰米森认为阿波罗号的宇航员们都是男性是非常不公平，故C选项符合题意；D选项的表述在文章中没有表述和体现。综上所述，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句“But that plan was eventually can celled, due t “spacesuit availability”, which means NASA desn’t have tw suits that fit wmen.(但由于“航天服可用性”的原因，这一计划最终无法实现，这意味着美国宇航局没有两套适合女性的航天服。)”可知由于航天服短缺的原因，女宇航员团队进入太空的计划被取消了。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章整体结构可知文章的倒数第二段是一个转折段，也是文章表述的重点之所在，根据倒数第二段的前两句“In fact, tests have lng prved that wmen are nt at all less cmpetent than men when it cmes t space tasks. But apparently, test results are nt enugh t fight ff the wrld’s lng-existing biases against wmen.( 事实上，长期以来的测试证明，在太空任务方面，女性的能力并不逊于男性。但显然，测试结果不足以消除世界上长期存在的对女性的偏见)”可推知虽然女性的能力并不逊于男性，但这不足以消除世界上长期存在的对女性的偏见。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句“Hpefully - give it anther few decades - we’ll be able t see a wrld that’s fully grwn ut f its absurdity in terms f gender equality.( 希望是——再给它几十年——我们能看到一个在性别平等方面完全摆脱荒谬的世界。)”可知作者相信未来的世界是一个在性别平等方面完全摆脱荒谬的世界。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。预制菜已经成为如今的热门话题之一，文章对预制菜的现状进行了介绍了分析，而预制菜市场的快速发展，也需要相关法规的跟进。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意：在中国，预制食品——又称即食食品行业——越来越受欢迎，已经成为资本的宠儿。分析句子可知，该句的主语是The grwing ppularity即预制菜逐渐增加的受欢迎度，谓语动词为使役动词has made，空处需要宾语，而a capital darling则是宾语补足语，结合句意推知，这里要表达预制菜逐渐受到欢迎这一事实使得预制菜成为了资本的宠儿，应用代词it指代已经提到的pre-cked fd。故填it。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：但在过去两年中，从餐厅到家庭餐桌的转变，迅速将预制菜推向了大众消费市场。分析句子可知，句中使用了时间状语in the past tw years，表明动作发生于过去并持续到现在，符合现在完成时have/has+过去分词，且主语a shift为第三人称单数。故填has brught。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：预制菜满足了新一代消费者对更健康、更有特色餐饮的偏好。空处作谓语动词meet的宾语，需要名词，此处指“满足了偏好”，f后接的内容为偏好的具体内容，显然不是单一内容，要用复数形式。故填preferences。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：报道称，2021年中国预制菜市场的收入约为5500亿元人民币，预计未来五年的复合增长率为13%。分析句子可知，空处在冠词an之后、grwth rate之前作定语，expect与grwth rate之间是动宾关系（即人们预期增长率，增长率被预期），应用过去分词形式表示“预期的，预料的”。故填expected。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：7月中旬，一家名为趣店的金融科技公司的创始人罗敏，在抖音（中国版TikTk）上使用个人账号销售预制菜，位居电商销售榜榜首。此处要特指公司的创始人，符合名词所有格短语the…f…。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：7月中旬，一家名为趣店的金融科技公司的创始人罗敏，在抖音（中国版TikTk）上使用个人账号销售预制菜，位居电商销售榜榜首。分析句子结构可知，use所在句子在这里作状语，use与主句主语LuMin之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词形式。故填using。
【42题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：仅仅一场直播就创造了2.52亿元人民币的销售额，超过了去年的销售额。空处在mre than后又开启了一个句子，考虑宾语从句，结合句意推知，此处在把单场直播获得的销售额与去年的销售额做比较，it即指代wrth f sales，宾语从句要表达“（超过了）去年的销售额”，引导词作表语，应用连接代词what。故填what。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：然而，市场上预制菜的质量仍然参差不齐，这些产品缺少详细的标签信息，物流和配送也存在问题。由空后句子的内容可知，该段在表达目前预制菜的质量还存在诸多问题，此处应用uneven作表语表示“质量不稳定的，不均匀的”。故填uneven。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：未经事先通知，餐厅使用预制菜代替厨师现做的菜，损害了消费者的知情权和选择权。由句意表达的“预制菜的使用损害了消费者权益”推知，此处的前提是没有事先让消费者知晓，则应用介词withut表示“没有，不（伴随）”。故填Withut。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：未经事先通知，餐厅使用预制菜代替厨师现做的菜，损害了消费者的知情权和选择权。分析句子可知，replace在这里作目的状语，应用不定式。故填t replace。
