第一节（共15小题）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。
A
You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in," said Parks.
21．What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
A．Her social work.
B．Her lack of proper training in law.
C．Her efforts to win a prize.
D．Her community background.
22．What is the reason for O'Connor's being refused by the law firm?
A．Her lack of proper training in law.
B．Her little work experience in court.
C．The discrimination against women.
D．The poor financial conditions.
23．Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the US?
A．Jane Addams. B．Rachel Carson.
C．Sandra Day O' Connor. D．Ross Parks.
24．What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?
A．They are highly educated. B．They are truly creative.
C．They are pioneers. D．They are peace-lovers.
B
A friend of mine met with an accident driving in the darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn't move. What was the worst was that he found himself unable to ask for help-his mobile phone went out of work. Nothing could be done but to wait in cold wilderness. 8 hours later, day broke, and then the rescue arrived.
It is almost unimaginable that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his explanation: "First of all I checked up my physical conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no way to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from bleeding. In this way I dozed (打盹) off."
His story put an end to my regret for the failure of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men tried to explore a mountain cave and got lost. Unable to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of direction. Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. The place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the opening of the cave! If they tried to calm themselves, they would probably sense a faint light shining not far away.
Don't you think that you can compare it with life itself? When you meet with obstacles (障碍) in life and work, you are lost in darkness. Mind you it's unclear yet and you needn't put up struggle immediately. But a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage. 25．What was the greatest trouble for the writer's friend?
A．It was very dark.
B．He was hurt and couldn't move.
C．He couldn't get help with his mobile phone.
D．It was very cold.
26．What did the writer's friend do when he was waiting for help?
A．He checked his physical conditions.
B．He tried to keep his wound from bleeding.
C．He slept for a while.
D．All the above.
27．How did the writer's friend feel when he was waiting for help?
A．Horrible B．Worried C．Angry D．Calm.
C
One Australian state government has become the first in the world to carry out a statewide camera program to automatically detect (探测) drivers using their cell phones while driving.
The program came into effect in the state of New South Wales on December 1 following a six-month trial earlier this year, which the government claims caught over 100,000 drivers. Similar technology has been tested in England and Saudi Arabia, but the NSW program marks the first time it has been widely carried out.
There won't be any signs signaling the cameras' presence, either. "We have to unfortunately use the element of surprise to get people to think 'well, I could get caught at any time,'" said NSW Roads Minister Andrew Constance. "I want behavior to change and I want it changed immediately."
The cell phone detection camera can't actually discover people using their phones in time. Instead, it takes photographs of every single vehicle that passes by it, using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse them later. If the software detects a likely offender (违法者), the image is then checked by an employee before a punishment notice is sent out.
Drivers will only receive warnings for the first three months the cell phone detection cameras are in operation. After that, drivers who are caught will be fined 344 dollars, as well as losing five points from their driver's license.
According to the NSW government, if the AI doesn't detect any phone use in a photo it will be deleted without any human seeing it, usually within an hour.
28．Why does the NSW government carry out the camera program?
A．To detect the number of drivers using cell phones.
B．To help drivers avoid being caught in surprise.
C．To change drivers' behavior of using cell phones while driving.
D．To test similar technology like some European countries.
29．What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Cameras. B．Drivers. C．Photos. D．Passers-by.
30．What may happen to the offenders detected by the camera?
A．Some regular written warnings. B．No punishment in the limited time.
C．A heavy fine without point loss. D．A make-up test of the driver's license.
31．What is the text mainly about?
A．A road Al camera system in Australia.
B．A test of world-first AI camera system.
C．The behaviors of Australian drivers.
D．The development of AI camera system.
D
For those who can stomach it, working out before breakfast may be more beneficial for health than eating first, according to a study of meal timing and physical activity.
Athletes and scientists have long known that meal timing affects performance. However, far less has been known about how meal timing and exercise might affect general health.
To find out, British scientists conducted a study. They first found 10 overweight and inactive but otherwise healthy young men, whose lifestyles are, for better and worse, representative of those of most of us. They tested the men's fitness and resting metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates and took samples (样品) of their blood and fat tissue.
Then, on two separate morning visits to the scientists' lab, each man walked for an hour at an average speed that, in theory should allow his body to rely mainly on fat for fuel. Before one of these workouts, the men skipped breakfast, meaning that they exercised on a completely empty stomach after a long overnight fast (禁食). On the other occasion, they ate a rich morning meal about two hours before they started walking.
Just before and an hour after each workout, the scientists took additional samples of the men's blood and fat tissue.
Then they compared the samples. There were considerable differences. Most obviously, the men displayed lower blood sugar levels at the start of their workouts when they had skipped breakfast than when they had eaten. As a result, they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first. On the other hand, they burned slightly more calories (卡路里), on average, during the workout after breakfast than after fasting.
But it was the effects deep within the fat cells that may have been the most significant, the researchers found. Multiple genes behaved differently, depending on whether someone had eaten or not before walking. Many of these genes produce proteins (蛋白质) that can improve blood sugar regulation and insulin (胰岛素) levels throughout the body and so are associated with improved metabolic health. These genes were much more active when the men had fasted before exercise than when they had breakfasted.
The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise, it may be wise to skip eating first.
32．The underlined expression "stomach it" in Paragraph 1 most probably means "________".
A．digest the meal easily B．manage without breakfast
C．decide wisely what to eat D．eat whatever is offered
33．Why were the 10 people chosen for the experiment?
A．Their lifestyles were typical of ordinary people.
B．Their lack of exercise led to overweight.
C．They could walk at an average speed.
D．They had slow metabolic rates.
34．What happened to those who ate breakfast before exercise?
A．They successfully lost weight. B．They consumed a bit more calories.
C．They burned more fat on average. D．They displayed higher insulin levels.
35．What could be learned from the research?
A．A workout after breakfast improves gene performances.
B．Too much workout often slows metabolic rates.
C．Lifestyle is not as important as morning exercise.
D．Physical exercise before breakfast is better for health.

Three Ways to Protect Yourself From Today's Unreal News
Nowadays with so much news available, many people consume media in an automatic, unconscious state-similar to knowing you drove home but not being able to recall the trip.____36____ These strategies can help you become wiser news consumers in three simple steps.
Seek out your own news
Like most people, you probably get a fair amount of your news from social media. You should change that. Their goal is to maximize the time you spend on their sites and apps, getting advertising income. That means instead of presenting you with the most important news of the day, social media feed you what will hold your attention. ____37____ These organizations actually produce news, usually in the spirit of serving the public interest.
Use basic mathematics
Untrustworthy news often use some data to make unreal claims. ____38____ For example, a widely spread rumour (谣言) falsely claimed 10,150 Americans were killed by illegal immigrants in 2019. On the surface, it's hard to know whether it is true, but one way to start is to think about finding out how many total murders there were in the US in 2019.
____39____
Humans are biased (倾向性的) to believe what's in front of their eyes. Video content is considered more trustworthy—even though some videos can be very misleading. ____40____ Seeing and hearing should not necessarily be believing. Treat video content with just as much doubt as news text, checking any facts with news from a trusted source.
A．Watch out for biases
B．Believe video content
C．You'll see a more complete range of information
D．Think carefully about how you determine something is true
E．Instead, regularly visit trusted news apps and news websites directly
F．Simple mathematical calculations can help you better spot false data
G．However, you can develop habits to control your news intake more consciously

____51____ young plants in the dry season was ____52____ for a lone boy. Molai built at the ____53____ of each sapling (幼树) a bamboo platform, where he placed earthen pots with small holes to ____54____ rainwater. The water would then drip (滴落) on the plants below.

A man who had gone out of his town came back and found that his house was on fire. It was one of the most beautiful houses in the town, and the man loved the house the most! Many were ready to give a double price for the house, but he never agreed for any price and now it was just burning before his eyes. And thousands of people gathered, but nothing could be done. The fire spread so far that even if you tried to put it out, nothing would be saved. So he became very sad.
His son came running and whispered something in his ear, "Don't be worried. I sold it yesterday and at a very good price. The offer was so good, and I could not wait for you. Forgive me."
The father said. "Thank God, it's not ours now!" Then he became relaxed and stood as a silent watcher, just like other watchers.
Then the second son came running, and he said to the father, "What are you doing? The house is on fire and you are only watching it burning?" The father said, "Don't you know your brother has sold it?"
He said, "We have taken only advance amount, not settled fully. I doubt now whether the man is going to purchase it."
Tears which had disappeared came back to the father's eyes, and his heart started to beat fast. Then the third son came, and he said, "That man is a man of his word. I have just come from him. He said, 'It doesn't matter whether the house is burnt or not, it is mine. And I am going to pay the price that I have settled for. Neither you nor I knew that the house would catch fire.'"

To their regret, when the house was on fire, why didn't they put it out?

本文是一篇新闻报道。一个澳大利亚的州政府成为世界上第一个实施全州范围内自动检测开车时使用手机的司机的地区。该程序于12月1日在新南威尔士州生效。
28. 细节理解题。根据第一段“One Australian state government has become the first in the world to carry out a statewide camera program to automatically detect(探测) drivers using their cell phones while driving.”(一个澳大利亚州政府已经成为世界上第一个在全州范围内实施自动检测司机开车时使用手机的州政府。)和第三段的 “I want behaviour to change and I want it changed immediately.”(我希望开车玩手机的行为改变，我希望它立即改变。)可知，实施这个监控计划是为了改变司机开车使用手机的行为。故选C。
29. 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“The cell phone detection camera can’t actually discover people using their phones in time. Instead, it takes photographs of every single vehicle that passes by it”(手机检测摄像头实际上无法立刻发现人们使用手机。相反，它拍摄每一辆经过它的车辆的照片)可知，划线所在部分“using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse them later”表示稍后使用人工智能来分析它们，故them指代上文提的“photographs”，故选C。

34. 细节理解题。根据第六段的As a result, they burned more fat during walks on an empty stomach than when they had eaten first. On the other hand. they burned slightly more calories(卡路里), on average, during the workout after breakfast than after fasting.可知，结果，他们空腹散步时燃烧的脂肪比他们首先吃东西时所燃烧的脂肪要多。 另一方面。平均而言，他们在早餐后锻炼时燃烧的卡路里略多于禁食后。因此可知，锻炼前吃早饭消耗更多一点的热量。故选B。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段The implication of these results is that to gain the greatest health benefits from exercise, it may be wise to skip eating first.可知，这些结果的暗示，为了从运动中获得最大的健康益处，先不吃东西可能更明智。因此推断早饭前的体育锻炼对健康更有益。故选D。

第二节
【答案】36-40 GEFAD
【解析】这是一篇议论文。讲述了如何明智地接收信息的三种方法。
36. 前文提到“Nowadays with so much news available, many people consume media in an automatic, unconscious state—similar to knowing you drove home but not being able to recall the trip”，意为“现在人们可以接触到大量信息，我们以一种无意识的状态消化信息，就像你知道自己是开车回家的但是想不起来过程”，后文提到“These strategies can help you become wiser news consumers in three simple steps”，意为“这些措施能帮助你简单几步成为更明智的信息接收者”，前后句意相反，所以空格处应为转折句，起到承上启下的作用，G项“但是，你可以培养自己更有意识地控制接受信息的习惯”切题，故选G。
37. 后文提到“These organizations actually produce news, usually in the spirit of serving the public interest.”，这些组织确实会生产新闻，通常是以服务公众兴趣为精神，所以这些组织是提供新闻的，由指示代词“these”可知，在这些组织在前文中就已提到，所以空格处应提到这些真正提供新闻的组织，且在空格之前提到很多社交媒体并不真正提供当天最重要的信息，而是吸引你的注意力从而达到打广告的目的，空格前后句意相反，所以空格处应有转折词，E项“相反，你应该直接访问值得信任的新闻软件和网站”切题，故选E。
38. 根据小标题“Use basic mathematics”可知F项“简单的数学计算可以帮助你更好地识别错误的数据”切题，故选F。
39. 根据第一句“Humans are biased(倾向性的) to believe what’s in front of their eyes.”可知，本段主题与bias（偏见）有关，所以A项“小心偏见”切题，故选A。
40. 根据后文“Seeing and hearing should not necessarily be believing. Treat video content with just as much doubt as news text, checking any facts with news from a trusted source.”可知，这部分是在讲即使是视频信息也要抱有足够的怀疑，用来源可靠的新闻来检测它们，这是讲如何确定得到的信息是真实的，所以D项“仔细想想你是如何确定某件事是真实的”切题，故选D。

第三部分 英语知识运用
56. the 57. shortest 58. so/and 59. regarded 60. activities
61.representing 62. which 63. made 64. be used 65. in
这是一篇说明文。主语介绍了在中国，冬至的起源、发展以及不同区域不同的庆祝习俗。
56. 考查冠词。春秋战国时期为历史时间段，类似the Qin Dynasty，需要用特指的冠词the。
57.考查形容词最高级。句意：冬至是北半球全年中白天最短，黑夜最长的一天。根据句意以及空后的longest nighttime“最长的夜”，此处应该用最高级，表示“最短的白天”，故填shortest。
58.考查连词。句意：正如古代的中国人相信的，这天之后，阳气会变得越来越强，所以它应该庆祝。分词句子结构可知，此空需用连词连接空格前后两句话，根据句意，两句话是因果关系，and表因果关系时，相当于so，所以可以填so或and，故填so/and。
59.考查动词时态。句意：汉朝时期的人们把冬至当作一个“冬节”，所以，官员要为“冬节”组织庆祝活动。此空是动词做谓语，结合主语，描述的是汉代的事，应用一般过去时态，且主语和动词之间是主动关系，故填regarded。
60.考查词性转化。句意：参见上题。此空前有现在分词修饰，又是做organize的宾语，应该用名词的形式，且官员组织的活动应该有很多，所以用名词复数形式，故填activities。
61.考查非谓语动词。填representing。
62.考查定语从句中关系代词。句意：在中国一些北方地区，这一天人们会吃饺子，可以使他们在即将到来的冬天不被冻伤。空格是非限制性定语从句的引导词，先行词是dumplings，代表物，从句中缺主语，应用which引导，故填which。
63.考查非谓语动词。Special meal是由红豆和米制成的，made of在这里做后置定语修饰meal。
64.考查被动语态。句意：冬至饺子被当作给先人的祭品，或者是给亲戚朋友的礼物。主语dumplings和动词use之间是被动关系，且此空在情态动词后，应该用动词原形，故填be used。
65.考查介词。句意：同姓氏的人们会聚在一起按长幼顺序祭拜祖先。固定搭配in age order“按年龄顺序；按长幼”，故填in。

第四部分 写作
第一节 书面表达
参考范文：
Boys and girls,
Good morning. My speech is centred on the “new” role of serving chopsticks and spoons. As you see, people around us are encouraged to use serving chopsticks and spoons when dining together. They help avoid the spread of viruses and give people a cleaner eating experience. However, some also complain it is a waste of time to use them and that they even lead to distance between people.
Personally, everything always develops over time, including dining habits. If a change can bring us more benefits and protect us from the possible virus infection, why not support it?
The above is my view on this topic. Thanks.
第二节 读后续写
参考范文：
Then they all just stood and watched the house burn without worry. The father thought he would get much money from it soon. The three sons were thinking how to distribute the money when the house was sold out. At that moment, the house broke down and the fire was dying away. It looked as if it were in ruins. The father with full tears in his eyes thought of his wife and their hard work in building the house. Suddenly he wondered whether the man buying the house kept his word or not.
Shortly the man who bought the house came. When he saw the house burnt down entirely and the father and sons only stood there as silent watchers, he became very angry. When they went up and said hello to him, he said nothing, glaring at them. What’s more, he turned back and left quickly, making them dumbfounded. To their regret, when the house was on fire, why didn’t they put it out?

M：Where were you at noon? I've been waiting for you here until now.

M：You have a bad memory! So can we order some food now? I am so hungry.
(Text 5)
W: Have you finished the story for our writing course?

M: Oh, thank you, Mom. I’ve been looking for my diary for over a week.
W: As you never tidy your room, it’s perhaps impossible to find lost things.
M: I admit I should clean my room more often. Now—where was it? I looked under the sofa, behind the piano, and I also looked in all my handbags!
W: Well, there was still a place you didn’t look then.
M: I don’t have a clue! I know you only come to my room to collect my dirty washing, don’t you?
W: That’s right, and that’s how I found it!
M: Oh, of course, it was under all my dirty washing! I left my clothes lying about on the sofa and I never thought it could have been under them!
(Text 7)
M: Hey, Jennifer! You finally answered your phone! I waited for ages and you didn’t come.

W: Yes, but you never showed up.
M: I sent you a text message to change the location to the corner by the post office, because I knew I wouldn’t be there at 3:00.
W: That’s too bad. My phone was off, so I didn’t get the message. But why didn’t you check our original meeting place as well?
M: I did! But I was one hour late, and you weren’t in the shopping centre. Not even by the cash machine where we usually meet.
W: Well, you can’t expect me to wait that long, even for you. I waited until 3:20, but the place
was quite noisy and crowded, so I went home.
(Text 8)

W: Wow! The rainforest is an amazing place. Does it rain every day there?
M: Well, there’s a rainy season from December to May.
W: There are lots of interesting animals in the rainforest, aren’t there?

W: Oh, I’ve seen some like those in the zoo. They’re really colorful! Oh, and what’s that?

W: Wow! Really? Do you know how long it can live?

W：Uh, I'm usually here on weekends. It's my dad's shop. So are you looking for a bike?
M：Yeah. Now the weather is warming up. I think I should get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time.
W：Well, you came to the right place. Do you know what kind of bike you would like?
M：I don't want a racing bike or a mountain bike or anything else. I will just use it to get me back and forth from work. Oh, maybe I should tell you that I've only got 150 dollars.
W：Well, you are not going to get anything that is top of the line. And we do have a few second-hand bikes that are in good condition.
M：That sounds good.
W：OK, follow me and I'll show you what we've got.

Good evening, welcome to the students’ union. I’m going to tell you about some of the clubs that you can join. OK, let’s begin. Not surprisingly, there are the long-established clubs that you can find at any university, like the Football Club or the Drama Club, along with a whole range of less usual clubs, the Rock Club, for example. We do have a Rock Climbing Club here, but the Rock Club has nothing to do with outdoor activities—it’s a music club. That takes me directly on to the Mountaineering Club. They meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Another club you might like to try is the Dance Club. They meet regularly every Friday. This term they’re running Spanish dancing classes, next term it’s Indian dancing and in the summer it’ll be Scottish dancing. I haven’t covered everything in this short introduction, but I hope I’ve given you an idea of what’s on offer here.
