Mitchel Wu creates interesting stories using toy photography, a relatively new art form. He's taken photos for an impressive list of clients, including Disney, Marvel, Hot Wheels, and Hasbro. There's no limit to creativity, and Mitchel proves it through his unique work, providing a one-of-a-kind experience for clients worldwide.
While toy photography dates back to the 1800s, it didn't gain popularity until the 1970s. Around this time, a man by the name of David Levinthal became the father of miniature (微型画) photography.
Over time, it evolved into a global phenomenon mostly involving action figures and pop culture imagery. It's a diverse art form containing many themes and story ideas. Many artists draw inspiration from popular sources such as Disney movies, Star Wars, and Pokemon characters. With toy photography, the viewers, completely immersed in the story, feel like they're actually there, in a different land.
"For me, toy photography is really all about storytelling," Mitchel says. "Storytelling is what makes an image impactful, so my goal is to have my image just stop you in your tracks and make you think 'Wow, what's going on here?'”
Mitchel was a wedding photographer in the beginning. In 2015, he realized that he needed to find something else. Right around the same time, his nephew who photographed toys as a hobby said, "Uncle Mitch, why don't you bring your camera and shoot some toys?"
Once he tried it out, he got hooked immediately. His nephew lent him a couple of Stormtrooper action figures, and from the very first click of the shutter (快门）, he found it was something incredible.
What began as a hobby quickly became a new-found career for Mitchel. It's yet another story that motivates us to pursue our dreams because you never know where they'll take you.
It seems the only limits are the ones you create for yourself. Mitchel tries to keep breaking those limits and learn new techniques in his exciting career path. His story shows that you can create your path in life by following your heart and using your imagination.
4. Which of the following is true according to the first three paragraphs?
A. David Levinthal founded toy photography.
B. Toy photography is by all means a new art form.
C. Mitchel helps promote toy photography around the world.
D. Toy photography was widely recognized more than 200 years ago.
5. What does the underlined word "immersed" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Involved. B. Applied. C. Located. D. Stuck.
6. What does toy photography mean to Mitchel?
A. It brings him a great fortune.
B. It only serves to limit his creativity.
C. It is a way of telling his own stories.
D. It enables him to follow his new passion.
7. What message does Mitchel's story convey?
A. Great hopes make great men.
B. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C. The longest journey begins with the first step.
D. Behind one minute on stage is ten years of practice.
C
Climate change is an ongoing and ever-present threat to the Earth and all living things upon it. Unchecked industrialism and the burning of fossil fuels have resulted in the creation of harmful greenhouse gases. Human greed has led to massive deforestation and clearcutting of forests to make way for farmland. Pollution blocks our rivers, lakes, and oceans. The point of no return may be fast approaching.
After decades of harmful actions, many governments and businesses are now struggling to find ways to lessen some of their destructive effects and reach net-zero, which means not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. One of the ways they proposed was the extensive tree-planting. The UK government, for example, has set out its plan to plant 30,000 hectares of trees annually so as to absorb carbon dioxide.
However, according to Oxfam, a British charity devoted to helping people in poor countries, those plans never bore fruit. It issued clear and strong warnings against them—the area needed for a tree-planting project of this scale to successfully lower carbon emissions to net-zero is estimated at 1.6 billion hectares, which is an area five times the size of India. That means the project would intrude (侵占）on the land presently needed to grow enough crops to feed the world's expanding population.
Such a massive campaign of turning farmland into forest could give rise to a global interruption to agriculture, and cause food prices to rise by as much as 80% by 2050. In a world where millions of people are already going hungry, this could have disastrous results. By trying to save the planet, governments and businesses may cause many millions of people to die of starvation. This paradox (悖论）perfectly illustrates the phrase "damned if you do, and damned if you don't".
8. The author mentions the UK government to show ______.
A. the outbreak of climate disasters has its economic reasons
B. there is still some doubt whether the UK can reach net-zero
C. countries and companies are trying to deal with climate change
D. net-zero makes sense only when all countries make joint efforts
9. What is Oxfam's attitude towards the extensive tree-planting?
A. Confident. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Unclear.
10. What is the paradox associated with the plans for tree-planting?
A. A vast area of the forest would burn down instead.
B. Bigger forests could result in a population explosion.
C. India would lose 1.6 billion hectares of agricultural land.
D. Planting trees could lead to the starvation of millions of people.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Catch-22 of Net-zero
B. New Responses to Climate Change
C. Planting Trees for a Better-fed World
D. The Control of Greenhouse Gas Emission
D
A blood test that accurately predicts a patient's likelihood of dying from heart disease or a stroke (中风) has been developed.
Researchers took samples of blood from 22,949 people and analyzed the levels of about 5,000 proteins within it. They then used machine learning to detect whether there was a link between the proteins that circulate in a person's bloodstream and their risk of heart disease. The study identified a particular "protein signature" that accurately predicts the chance of suffering a heart attack, stroke or heart failure over a four-year period.
Currently, doctors assess the likelihood of patients suffering heart problems by looking at factors including weight, blood pressure, age and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. However, blood protein analysis can provide more accurate clues to the state of a person's health. The technology was found to be twice as accurate as existing tools at measuring a patient's heart risk. The blood test could also provide a faster way of detecting whether patients' existing medication (药物治疗) is working and helping to reduce their risk. Existing risk assessments struggle to do this.
The blood test was developed by SomaLogic, based in Boulder, Colorado. The company is also working with scientists at Imperial College London to help develop a blood test to detect cancer. Professor Elio Riboli said this could lead to widespread screening for many different types of cancers, which is not possible using existing techniques. His team will work with SomaLogic to analyze 15,000 blood samples from people who had developed cancer, comparing them with 10,000 samples from people who did not. The results will be used to establish whether there are protein markers that could indicate if someone is at risk from the disease.
In 2019, a trial began in Leeds to use SomaLogic's technology to assess people's risk of diabetes, and also the effectiveness of lifestyle changes in preventing the condition. Dr. Michael Messenger, head of the Leeds Centre for Personalized Medicine and Health, said that it could help tailor treatments to individual patients. "Personalized medicine lets us take a deeper look at each person's individual biology, so we can better understand what the right advice or treatment, at the right time, might be."
12. What can be learned from the second paragraph?
A. About 5,000 proteins exist in people's blood.
B. Different methods were adopted in the research.
C. Altogether 22,949 people volunteered for the study.
D. The "protein signature" in the blood causes heart diseases.
13. How is the third paragraph developed?
A. By giving examples. B. By making classifications.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
14. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Personalized medicine is becoming a tendency.
B. Protein markers will indicate some risks of cancer.
C. SomaLogic's technology will have a wider application.
D. Blood protein analysis is most advanced in predicting diseases.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. New approaches to doing blood tests.
B. An easy way to prevent deadly diseases.
C. The advantages of blood protein analysis.
D. A blood test to predict the risk of heart attack death.
二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10分）
Curiosity is rooted in our DNA. We are fascinated by the future; we are impressed with the unknown that surrounds us; we are amazed at all that we have to explore. The mysteries of the world have always been a push for us to watch. (1)
Children are known for sticking their fingers in places where young fingers should never be. They are famous for putting all kinds of objects and substances in their mouths, everything from plastic blocks to any object in the room.
(2) It holds our hand as we move into old age and the unknown of the future. By and large, we are determined question-askers. We want to know more than we know; we want to expand our horizons, try out the new and undiscovered, and pursue experiences that deepen our comprehension of the world we live in.
(3) It is also the generation of possibilities. When we look at the world from multiple perspectives, we give ourselves permission to examine a wider range of resolutions. We open up our minds to explore the unexamined and unknown. (4) Ian Leslie explains it this way, "Curiosity is essential to an exploring mind; it opens our eyes to the new and undiscovered, encouraging us to seek out new experiences and meet new people."
Curiosity is the catalyst(催化剂) for questioning, and questioning is what urges us to seek out the unfamiliar and the unknown. (5) It does not move forward, nor does it have sufficient power to dig what may lie just below the surface or just slightly out of reach. Curiosity is the fuel necessary for creativity to prosper and succeed.
A. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
B. Without questioning, knowledge becomes inactive.
C. Nowhere is this truer than when we watch our children.
D. But curiosity is much more than a simple search for answers.
E. Curiosity becomes a boost for new opportunities and new options.
F. So ask questions to which there may be a wide variety of responses.
G. In adults, curiosity guides us toward a lifetime occupation and to new destinations.
16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G
18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G

37. 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。
May 18, 1986, was the kind of beautiful, sunny day that regularly brought the Rodriguez family to Santa Catalina Island for some fishing on their nine-metre pleasure boat, the DC Too. They spent the day fishing in the Pacific Ocean, then left the island in the early evening.
Soon thick fog rolled in. Louise fell into a light sleep beside her five-year-old sister, Trisha, at a table on the boat's lower deck. Their father's sharp orders frightened her awake, "Get out of the boat. It's sinking!" Louise pushed her sister into the cold, dark water. The girls were followed by their mother, Petra Rodriguez. Both girls wore life jackets, but the adults did not. Within seconds, the boat capsized, leaving just the tip of its bow in the air.
After some time, her father told them he would swim for help. Louise watched him disappear into the darkness. A while later, her mother went still. Then her sister died, too.
Pisano and Strasser, both 25, were going on a fishing expedition. The fog was so thick that they couldn't even see the stern(船尾) of the boat. They decided to try one more spot before going home. Late that afternoon, the fog cleared and the sun started shining. On their return voyage, about 11 kilometres away from Catalina Island, Pisano noticed something yellow floating in the water.
Strasser steered(驾驶) the boat closer and Pisano jumped into the water. He swam toward the figure and grabbed the life jacket. Fortunately, Louise was saved and quickly sent to hospital. The little girl soon recovered, but the search for Louise's father, sister and mother was in vain.
Louise was adopted by her aunt and uncle. She attended college, got married in 2013 and gave birth to a son. In her late 20s, Louise began to wonder about her rescuers. She even tried to find them but no luck. One day, Louise came across a magazine article featuring Pisano talking about the 1986 rescue.
注意：

根据文章第二段中的After decades of harmful actions, ...which means not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.（在几十年的有害行为之后，许多政府和企业现在正在努力寻找减少它们的一些破坏性影响的方法，以达到碳排放净零，这意味着不增加大气中温室气体的数量。）可知，许多政府和企业现在正在努力寻找减少它们的一些破坏性影响的方法，然后举了英国政府的例子。说明英国政府例子是来证明各国和企业都在努力应对气候变化。故选C。
2. 由文章第三段中的However, according to Oxfam, a British charity devoted to helping people in poor countries...to net-zero is estimated at 1.6 billion hectares, which is an area five times the size of India.（然而，据致力于帮助贫困国家人民的英国慈善机构Oxfam称，这些计划从未结出果实。它对它们发出了明确而强烈的警告——这种规模的植树项目要成功地将碳排放降低到净零，估计需要16亿公顷的面积，这是印度面积的5倍。）可知，这些计划从未取得成果，且对他们发出了明确而强烈的警告。Oxfam对广泛植树是持批判态度的。故选B。
3. 由文章最后一段中的Such a massive campaign of turning farmland into forest...this could have disastrous results.（如此大规模的退耕还林运动可能会导致全球农业中断，并导致到2050年食品价格上涨高达80%。在一个数百万人已经在挨饿的世界上，这可能会造成灾难性的后果。）可知，与植树计划有关的悖论是植树可能会导致数百万人挨饿。故选D。
4. 文章首先讲述了气候变化是对地球和地球上所有生物的持续不断的威胁；接着讲述了许多政府和企业现在正在努力寻找方法，以减少其一些破坏性影响，以达到碳排放净零。方法之一就是大规模的植树，但是与植树计划有关的悖论是植树可能会导致全球农业中断，并导致食品价格上涨，从而导致数百万人挨饿，造成灾难性的后果。所以文章主要内容是围绕碳排放净零的悖论展开的。因此A项（碳排放净零的第二十二条军规（碳排放净零的悖论））符合文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选A。
12~15.【答案】B、C、C、D
【解析】1. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新开发出来的血液测试，能够准确预测患者死于心脏病或中风的可能性。
根据第二段中的Researchers took samples of blood from 22,949 people...in a person's bloodstream and their risk of heart disease.（研究人员采集了22949个人的血液样本，分析了其中约5000种蛋白质的含量。然后，他们利用机器学习来检测血液中循环的蛋白质与心脏病风险之间是否存在联系。）可知，研究中分别采用了采集血液样本和利用机器检测等方式，由此可知，研究中采用了不同的方法。故选B。
2. 根据第三段中的However, blood protein analysis can provide more accurate clues to the state of a person's health. The technology was found to be twice as accurate as existing tools at measuring a patient's heart risk.（然而，血液蛋白质分析可以为一个人的健康状况提供更准确的线索。研究发现，该技术在测量患者心脏风险方面的准确度是现有工具的两倍。）可知，第三段中将血液检测和现有工具在测量患者心脏风险方面的准确度上进行了对比，血液蛋白质分析能够提供更准确的线索，准确度是现有工具的两倍，由此可知，第三段是通过进行比较展开的。故选C。
3. 根据倒数第二段中Professor Elio Riboli said this could lead to widespread screening for many different types of cancers, which is not possible using existing techniques. （埃利奥·里博利教授说，这可能导致对许多不同类型癌症的广泛筛查，而这是使用现有技术所不可能做到的。）可知，由此可知，SomaLogic的技术将有更广泛的应用。故选C。
4. 通读全文，结合第一段内容（一种能够准确预测患者死于心脏病或中风可能性的血液测试已经开发出来。）可知，文章主要介绍了一种新开发出来的血液测试，能够准确预测患者死于心脏病或中风的可能性，由此可知，文章主要讲的是预测心脏病发作死亡风险的血液测试。故选D。
16~20.【答案】C、G、D、E、B
【解析】1. 【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了好奇心是天生的，从儿童到成人，好奇心促使人们探索未知，同时，好奇心也带来了新的机遇和可能。好奇心是创造力繁荣和成功的必要燃料。
设空句在该段段末，应呼应该段首句内容同时承起下段内容。首句Curiosity is rooted in our DNA.（好奇心根植于我们的DNA中。）讲到好奇心是天生的，因此设空句应再次呼应“天生的”。选项C（没有什么比我们看着自己的孩子更真实的了。）用“孩子”对应“天生的好奇心”，符合逻辑，且在话题上承起了下段的“children”的话题。故选C。
2. 根据后文It holds our hand as we move into old age and the unknown of the future.（它牵着我们的手，让我们步入老年，走向未知的未来。）可知，该段讲到了“好奇心”对成年人的引导作用，选项G（对于成年人来说，好奇心引导我们走向一生的职业和新的目的地。）在词汇上出现了adults，curiosity等词汇复现，符合语境。故选G。
3. 根据空后文It is also the generation of possibilities.（它也是各种可能性的产生。）可知，该段强调了好奇心带来的可能性，更加深远的影响。可推知，设空句应是过渡句，总结上段内容，过渡该段内容。选项D（但好奇心远不止是简单地寻找答案。）中search for answers呼应上一段的question-askers，同时使用“much more than”使话题顺利过渡到该段，前后逻辑衔接紧密，符合语境。故选D。
4. 根据后文Curiosity is essential to an exploring mind...seek out new experiences and meet new people.（好奇心对于探索的头脑来说是必不可少的；它让我们看到新的和未被发现的事物，鼓励我们寻找新的经验，结识新的人。）可知，讲到的“好奇心对新事物认知的推动作用”，即“it”，也就是设空句的含义。选项E（好奇心成为新机会和新选择的动力。）在句意上符合分析，为解释句同义句表达，同时在话题上呼应主旨句It is also the generation of possibilities.（它也是各种可能性的产生。），符合语境。故选E。
5. 根据前文Curiosity is the catalyst(催化剂) for questioning, and questioning is what urges us to seek out the unfamiliar and the unknown.（好奇心是质疑的催化剂，而质疑是促使我们去寻找不熟悉和未知的东西。）可知，前文提出了质疑在探寻未知过程中的促进作用，由此可推知，设空句应承接此话题，继续讲述质疑的促进作用。选项B（没有质疑，知识就会变得不活跃。）用双重否定的形式肯定了质疑对知识的促进作用，且该句主语knowledge与后文主语It相呼应，并在句意上与后文构成解释关系，符合语境。故选B。

6. 句意：随后，石和他的团队进行了不懈的努力，在沙地上种植了几种耐旱树木。分析句子可知，句子为主语从句，空格处单词引导从句，从句中缺少主语，指事物，没有选择范围，故应用what引导从句。句首单词的首字母大写。故填What。
7. 句意：狼窝沙面积约400公顷，常年刮大风。分析句子可知，句子为限制性定语从句，先行词为Langwosha，在从句中作地点状语，故应用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。

Mitchel Wu creates interesting stories using toy photography, a relatively new art form. He's taken photos for an impressive list of clients, including Disney, Marvel, Hot Wheels, and Hasbro. There's no limit to creativity, and Mitchel proves it through his unique work, providing a one-of-a-kind experience for clients worldwide.
While toy photography dates back to the 1800s, it didn't gain popularity until the 1970s. Around this time, a man by the name of David Levinthal became the father of miniature (微型画) photography.
Over time, it evolved into a global phenomenon mostly involving action figures and pop culture imagery. It's a diverse art form containing many themes and story ideas. Many artists draw inspiration from popular sources such as Disney movies, Star Wars, and Pokemon characters. With toy photography, the viewers, completely immersed in the story, feel like they're actually there, in a different land.
"For me, toy photography is really all about storytelling," Mitchel says. "Storytelling is what makes an image impactful, so my goal is to have my image just stop you in your tracks and make you think 'Wow, what's going on here?'”
Mitchel was a wedding photographer in the beginning. In 2015, he realized that he needed to find something else. Right around the same time, his nephew who photographed toys as a hobby said, "Uncle Mitch, why don't you bring your camera and shoot some toys?"
Once he tried it out, he got hooked immediately. His nephew lent him a couple of Stormtrooper action figures, and from the very first click of the shutter (快门）, he found it was something incredible.
What began as a hobby quickly became a new-found career for Mitchel. It's yet another story that motivates us to pursue our dreams because you never know where they'll take you.
It seems the only limits are the ones you create for yourself. Mitchel tries to keep breaking those limits and learn new techniques in his exciting career path. His story shows that you can create your path in life by following your heart and using your imagination.
4. Which of the following is true according to the first three paragraphs?
A. David Levinthal founded toy photography.
B. Toy photography is by all means a new art form.
C. Mitchel helps promote toy photography around the world.
D. Toy photography was widely recognized more than 200 years ago.
5. What does the underlined word "immersed" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Involved. B. Applied. C. Located. D. Stuck.
6. What does toy photography mean to Mitchel?
A. It brings him a great fortune.
B. It only serves to limit his creativity.
C. It is a way of telling his own stories.
D. It enables him to follow his new passion.
7. What message does Mitchel's story convey?
A. Great hopes make great men.
B. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C. The longest journey begins with the first step.
D. Behind one minute on stage is ten years of practice.
C
Climate change is an ongoing and ever-present threat to the Earth and all living things upon it. Unchecked industrialism and the burning of fossil fuels have resulted in the creation of harmful greenhouse gases. Human greed has led to massive deforestation and clearcutting of forests to make way for farmland. Pollution blocks our rivers, lakes, and oceans. The point of no return may be fast approaching.
After decades of harmful actions, many governments and businesses are now struggling to find ways to lessen some of their destructive effects and reach net-zero, which means not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. One of the ways they proposed was the extensive tree-planting. The UK government, for example, has set out its plan to plant 30,000 hectares of trees annually so as to absorb carbon dioxide.
However, according to Oxfam, a British charity devoted to helping people in poor countries, those plans never bore fruit. It issued clear and strong warnings against them—the area needed for a tree-planting project of this scale to successfully lower carbon emissions to net-zero is estimated at 1.6 billion hectares, which is an area five times the size of India. That means the project would intrude (侵占）on the land presently needed to grow enough crops to feed the world's expanding population.
Such a massive campaign of turning farmland into forest could give rise to a global interruption to agriculture, and cause food prices to rise by as much as 80% by 2050. In a world where millions of people are already going hungry, this could have disastrous results. By trying to save the planet, governments and businesses may cause many millions of people to die of starvation. This paradox (悖论）perfectly illustrates the phrase "damned if you do, and damned if you don't".
8. The author mentions the UK government to show ______.
A. the outbreak of climate disasters has its economic reasons
B. there is still some doubt whether the UK can reach net-zero
C. countries and companies are trying to deal with climate change
D. net-zero makes sense only when all countries make joint efforts
9. What is Oxfam's attitude towards the extensive tree-planting?
A. Confident. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Unclear.
10. What is the paradox associated with the plans for tree-planting?
A. A vast area of the forest would burn down instead.
B. Bigger forests could result in a population explosion.
C. India would lose 1.6 billion hectares of agricultural land.
D. Planting trees could lead to the starvation of millions of people.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Catch-22 of Net-zero
B. New Responses to Climate Change
C. Planting Trees for a Better-fed World
D. The Control of Greenhouse Gas Emission
D
A blood test that accurately predicts a patient's likelihood of dying from heart disease or a stroke (中风) has been developed.
Researchers took samples of blood from 22,949 people and analyzed the levels of about 5,000 proteins within it. They then used machine learning to detect whether there was a link between the proteins that circulate in a person's bloodstream and their risk of heart disease. The study identified a particular "protein signature" that accurately predicts the chance of suffering a heart attack, stroke or heart failure over a four-year period.
Currently, doctors assess the likelihood of patients suffering heart problems by looking at factors including weight, blood pressure, age and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. However, blood protein analysis can provide more accurate clues to the state of a person's health. The technology was found to be twice as accurate as existing tools at measuring a patient's heart risk. The blood test could also provide a faster way of detecting whether patients' existing medication (药物治疗) is working and helping to reduce their risk. Existing risk assessments struggle to do this.
The blood test was developed by SomaLogic, based in Boulder, Colorado. The company is also working with scientists at Imperial College London to help develop a blood test to detect cancer. Professor Elio Riboli said this could lead to widespread screening for many different types of cancers, which is not possible using existing techniques. His team will work with SomaLogic to analyze 15,000 blood samples from people who had developed cancer, comparing them with 10,000 samples from people who did not. The results will be used to establish whether there are protein markers that could indicate if someone is at risk from the disease.
In 2019, a trial began in Leeds to use SomaLogic's technology to assess people's risk of diabetes, and also the effectiveness of lifestyle changes in preventing the condition. Dr. Michael Messenger, head of the Leeds Centre for Personalized Medicine and Health, said that it could help tailor treatments to individual patients. "Personalized medicine lets us take a deeper look at each person's individual biology, so we can better understand what the right advice or treatment, at the right time, might be."
12. What can be learned from the second paragraph?
A. About 5,000 proteins exist in people's blood.
B. Different methods were adopted in the research.
C. Altogether 22,949 people volunteered for the study.
D. The "protein signature" in the blood causes heart diseases.
13. How is the third paragraph developed?
A. By giving examples. B. By making classifications.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
14. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Personalized medicine is becoming a tendency.
B. Protein markers will indicate some risks of cancer.
C. SomaLogic's technology will have a wider application.
D. Blood protein analysis is most advanced in predicting diseases.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. New approaches to doing blood tests.
B. An easy way to prevent deadly diseases.
C. The advantages of blood protein analysis.
D. A blood test to predict the risk of heart attack death.

Curiosity is rooted in our DNA. We are fascinated by the future; we are impressed with the unknown that surrounds us; we are amazed at all that we have to explore. The mysteries of the world have always been a push for us to watch. (1)
Children are known for sticking their fingers in places where young fingers should never be. They are famous for putting all kinds of objects and substances in their mouths, everything from plastic blocks to any object in the room.
(2) It holds our hand as we move into old age and the unknown of the future. By and large, we are determined question-askers. We want to know more than we know; we want to expand our horizons, try out the new and undiscovered, and pursue experiences that deepen our comprehension of the world we live in.
(3) It is also the generation of possibilities. When we look at the world from multiple perspectives, we give ourselves permission to examine a wider range of resolutions. We open up our minds to explore the unexamined and unknown. (4) Ian Leslie explains it this way, "Curiosity is essential to an exploring mind; it opens our eyes to the new and undiscovered, encouraging us to seek out new experiences and meet new people."
Curiosity is the catalyst(催化剂) for questioning, and questioning is what urges us to seek out the unfamiliar and the unknown. (5) It does not move forward, nor does it have sufficient power to dig what may lie just below the surface or just slightly out of reach. Curiosity is the fuel necessary for creativity to prosper and succeed.
A. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
B. Without questioning, knowledge becomes inactive.
C. Nowhere is this truer than when we watch our children.
D. But curiosity is much more than a simple search for answers.
E. Curiosity becomes a boost for new opportunities and new options.
F. So ask questions to which there may be a wide variety of responses.
G. In adults, curiosity guides us toward a lifetime occupation and to new destinations.

Soon thick fog rolled in. Louise fell into a light sleep beside her five-year-old sister, Trisha, at a table on the boat's lower deck. Their father's sharp orders frightened her awake, "Get out of the boat. It's sinking!" Louise pushed her sister into the cold, dark water. The girls were followed by their mother, Petra Rodriguez. Both girls wore life jackets, but the adults did not. Within seconds, the boat capsized, leaving just the tip of its bow in the air.
After some time, her father told them he would swim for help. Louise watched him disappear into the darkness. A while later, her mother went still. Then her sister died, too.
Pisano and Strasser, both 25, were going on a fishing expedition. The fog was so thick that they couldn't even see the stern(船尾) of the boat. They decided to try one more spot before going home. Late that afternoon, the fog cleared and the sun started shining. On their return voyage, about 11 kilometres away from Catalina Island, Pisano noticed something yellow floating in the water.
Strasser steered(驾驶) the boat closer and Pisano jumped into the water. He swam toward the figure and grabbed the life jacket. Fortunately, Louise was saved and quickly sent to hospital. The little girl soon recovered, but the search for Louise's father, sister and mother was in vain.
Louise was adopted by her aunt and uncle. She attended college, got married in 2013 and gave birth to a son. In her late 20s, Louise began to wonder about her rescuers. She even tried to find them but no luck. One day, Louise came across a magazine article featuring Pisano talking about the 1986 rescue.

答案和解析
1~3.【答案】C、D、A
【解析】1. 【文章大意】这是一篇应用文。本文详细介绍了四个旅游放松的地方。
根据Greenwood Grange标题下的…you can even pick your own fruit or vegetables from our kitchen garden（你甚至可以从我们的厨房花园里自己采摘水果或蔬菜）可知，在绿林庄园，游客可以在厨房花园里自己采摘水果或蔬菜，是一个适合烹饪的目的地。因此，最适合喜欢烹饪的人的目的地是C项（绿林庄园）。故选C。
2. 根据Skye Shepherd Huts标题下的Comfortable with beautiful views, but electricity and hot water are not ready for use.（美丽的景色让人感到舒适，但电和热水还没有准备好。）可知，斯凯牧羊人小屋虽然景色宜人，但是电和热水和还没有备好，无法使用热水沐浴。因此，斯凯牧羊人小屋小屋的缺点是D项（无法使用热水淋浴）符合题意，故选D。
3. 根据Trefeddian Hotel标题下的…all-around sea views, miles of golden sandy beaches and a heated indoor pool（……全方位的海景、数英里的金色沙滩和一个温暖的室内游泳池）和St Moritz Hotel & Garden Villas标题下的…a bunch of local attractions and surrounded by the sea... （……周围环绕着大海……）和Greenwood Grange标题下的…or playing the volleyball on the seashore... （……还是在海边打排球……）和Skye Shepherd Huts标题下的…Set in a lovely traditional village by the sea... （……位于海边一个可爱的传统村庄……）可知，这四个地方，共同的特点是都在海边，可以看到美丽的海边景色。因此，这四个目的地共同点是A项Ocean views.（海景）符合题意，故选A。
4~7.【答案】C、A、D、B
【解析】1. 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Mitchel Wu把爱好变成职业，通过使用玩具摄影，为全球客户提供了独一无二的体验的故事。
根据文章第一段中的Mitchel Wu creates interesting stories using toy photography, a relatively new art form.（Mitchel Wu使用一种相对较新的艺术形式，即玩具摄影，创作有趣的故事。）以及第一段最后一句话There's no limit to creativity, and Mitchel proves it through his unique work, providing a one-of-a-kind experience for clients worldwide.（创造力没有限制，Mitchel通过他独特的工作证明了这一点，为全球客户提供独一无二的体验。）可知，主人公Mitchel通过使用玩具摄影为全球客户提供了体验。C项（Mitchel帮助在世界各地推广玩具摄影。）符合题意。故选C。
2. 根据文章第三段最后一句话With toy photography, the viewers, completely immersed in the story, feel like they're actually there, in a different land.（通过玩具摄影，观众完全沉浸在故事中，感觉他们真的在那里，在一个不同的地方。）可知，通过玩具摄影使得观众参与到摄影中，以达到身临其境的感受。可推知此处指这个玩具展，可以使观众们完全有身临其境的感觉，因而画线词“immersed”意为“沉浸、使陷入”。be involved in为固定短语，意为“参与，牵涉进”，与画线词同义，表示参与到摄影的体验中。故选A。
3. 根据文章倒数第二段第一句话What began as a hobby quickly became a new-found career for Mitchel.（最初作为一种爱好的东西很快成为Mitchel新发现的职业。）可知，Mitchel把自己的爱好变成职业，能够继续追随。D项（它使他能够追随他的新激情。）符合题意。故选D。

8~11.【答案】C、B、D、A
【解析】1. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了气候变化是对地球和地球上所有生物的持续不断的威胁。在数十年的有害行动之后，许多政府和企业现在正在努力寻找方法，以减少其一些破坏性影响，以达到碳排放净零。
根据文章第二段中的After decades of harmful actions, ...which means not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.（在几十年的有害行为之后，许多政府和企业现在正在努力寻找减少它们的一些破坏性影响的方法，以达到碳排放净零，这意味着不增加大气中温室气体的数量。）可知，许多政府和企业现在正在努力寻找减少它们的一些破坏性影响的方法，然后举了英国政府的例子。说明英国政府例子是来证明各国和企业都在努力应对气候变化。故选C。
2. 由文章第三段中的However, according to Oxfam, a British charity devoted to helping people in poor countries...to net-zero is estimated at 1.6 billion hectares, which is an area five times the size of India.（然而，据致力于帮助贫困国家人民的英国慈善机构Oxfam称，这些计划从未结出果实。它对它们发出了明确而强烈的警告——这种规模的植树项目要成功地将碳排放降低到净零，估计需要16亿公顷的面积，这是印度面积的5倍。）可知，这些计划从未取得成果，且对他们发出了明确而强烈的警告。Oxfam对广泛植树是持批判态度的。故选B。
3. 由文章最后一段中的Such a massive campaign of turning farmland into forest...this could have disastrous results.（如此大规模的退耕还林运动可能会导致全球农业中断，并导致到2050年食品价格上涨高达80%。在一个数百万人已经在挨饿的世界上，这可能会造成灾难性的后果。）可知，与植树计划有关的悖论是植树可能会导致数百万人挨饿。故选D。
4. 文章首先讲述了气候变化是对地球和地球上所有生物的持续不断的威胁；接着讲述了许多政府和企业现在正在努力寻找方法，以减少其一些破坏性影响，以达到碳排放净零。方法之一就是大规模的植树，但是与植树计划有关的悖论是植树可能会导致全球农业中断，并导致食品价格上涨，从而导致数百万人挨饿，造成灾难性的后果。所以文章主要内容是围绕碳排放净零的悖论展开的。因此A项（碳排放净零的第二十二条军规（碳排放净零的悖论））符合文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选A。
12~15.【答案】B、C、C、D
【解析】1. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新开发出来的血液测试，能够准确预测患者死于心脏病或中风的可能性。
根据第二段中的Researchers took samples of blood from 22,949 people...in a person's bloodstream and their risk of heart disease.（研究人员采集了22949个人的血液样本，分析了其中约5000种蛋白质的含量。然后，他们利用机器学习来检测血液中循环的蛋白质与心脏病风险之间是否存在联系。）可知，研究中分别采用了采集血液样本和利用机器检测等方式，由此可知，研究中采用了不同的方法。故选B。
2. 根据第三段中的However, blood protein analysis can provide more accurate clues to the state of a person's health. The technology was found to be twice as accurate as existing tools at measuring a patient's heart risk.（然而，血液蛋白质分析可以为一个人的健康状况提供更准确的线索。研究发现，该技术在测量患者心脏风险方面的准确度是现有工具的两倍。）可知，第三段中将血液检测和现有工具在测量患者心脏风险方面的准确度上进行了对比，血液蛋白质分析能够提供更准确的线索，准确度是现有工具的两倍，由此可知，第三段是通过进行比较展开的。故选C。
3. 根据倒数第二段中Professor Elio Riboli said this could lead to widespread screening for many different types of cancers, which is not possible using existing techniques. （埃利奥·里博利教授说，这可能导致对许多不同类型癌症的广泛筛查，而这是使用现有技术所不可能做到的。）可知，由此可知，SomaLogic的技术将有更广泛的应用。故选C。
4. 通读全文，结合第一段内容（一种能够准确预测患者死于心脏病或中风可能性的血液测试已经开发出来。）可知，文章主要介绍了一种新开发出来的血液测试，能够准确预测患者死于心脏病或中风的可能性，由此可知，文章主要讲的是预测心脏病发作死亡风险的血液测试。故选D。
16~20.【答案】C、G、D、E、B
【解析】1. 【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了好奇心是天生的，从儿童到成人，好奇心促使人们探索未知，同时，好奇心也带来了新的机遇和可能。好奇心是创造力繁荣和成功的必要燃料。
设空句在该段段末，应呼应该段首句内容同时承起下段内容。首句Curiosity is rooted in our DNA.（好奇心根植于我们的DNA中。）讲到好奇心是天生的，因此设空句应再次呼应“天生的”。选项C（没有什么比我们看着自己的孩子更真实的了。）用“孩子”对应“天生的好奇心”，符合逻辑，且在话题上承起了下段的“children”的话题。故选C。
2. 根据后文It holds our hand as we move into old age and the unknown of the future.（它牵着我们的手，让我们步入老年，走向未知的未来。）可知，该段讲到了“好奇心”对成年人的引导作用，选项G（对于成年人来说，好奇心引导我们走向一生的职业和新的目的地。）在词汇上出现了adults，curiosity等词汇复现，符合语境。故选G。
3. 根据空后文It is also the generation of possibilities.（它也是各种可能性的产生。）可知，该段强调了好奇心带来的可能性，更加深远的影响。可推知，设空句应是过渡句，总结上段内容，过渡该段内容。选项D（但好奇心远不止是简单地寻找答案。）中search for answers呼应上一段的question-askers，同时使用“much more than”使话题顺利过渡到该段，前后逻辑衔接紧密，符合语境。故选D。
4. 根据后文Curiosity is essential to an exploring mind...seek out new experiences and meet new people.（好奇心对于探索的头脑来说是必不可少的；它让我们看到新的和未被发现的事物，鼓励我们寻找新的经验，结识新的人。）可知，讲到的“好奇心对新事物认知的推动作用”，即“it”，也就是设空句的含义。选项E（好奇心成为新机会和新选择的动力。）在句意上符合分析，为解释句同义句表达，同时在话题上呼应主旨句It is also the generation of possibilities.（它也是各种可能性的产生。），符合语境。故选E。
5. 根据前文Curiosity is the catalyst(催化剂) for questioning, and questioning is what urges us to seek out the unfamiliar and the unknown.（好奇心是质疑的催化剂，而质疑是促使我们去寻找不熟悉和未知的东西。）可知，前文提出了质疑在探寻未知过程中的促进作用，由此可推知，设空句应承接此话题，继续讲述质疑的促进作用。选项B（没有质疑，知识就会变得不活跃。）用双重否定的形式肯定了质疑对知识的促进作用，且该句主语knowledge与后文主语It相呼应，并在句意上与后文构成解释关系，符合语境。故选B。
