This Tiny Box Will Help You Relax In Terrible Summer Heat!
Traditional Air Conditioners (AC) are outdated.They cost a lot to install (安装) and even more to run. They are huge, noisy, and dangerous to clean. You can’t move them around the house with you or take them outside! Thousands of people are now using a much cheaper alternative to cool themselves in the heat and clean their personal air. EVERYONE wants this awesome looking box for summer!
What Are We Talking About?
Meet the new AirFreez, an innovative (创新的) alternative to AC that cools you just the same! It’s a perfect solution for those very hot days and nights! The AirFreez was designed by two Swiss engineers who were fed up suffering the hot summers. They realized that AC units are super inefficient(低效的) and cost a lot of money to use. The engineers also discovered that none of the traditional AC units were made to travel with.
So, they designed this light-weight, portable (便携的)Air Cooling box. It uses a very small amount of electricity and all without sacrificing any of the main benefits of a top AC model! It’s tiny, easy to use and it can cool you in seconds!
What Is So Special About This Little Box?
The main benefits of AirFreez are its portability and price.
It is no larger than a lunchbox. Besides, it can be powered by a pocket solar panel or battery pack and you probably have the world’s most portable AC unit.
And There Is One More Thing. The price is just amazing. Most AC units cost at least $300 AND you have to pay for installation PLUS cover the expensive electricity bills each month. AirFreez costs less than $100 (Actually $53 for each if you buy more than one here). No messy installation, no expensive electricity bills. For a Cooling unit of this quality, this must be the single best price-quality AC unit there is!
How Can You Get An AirFreez?
Now that you are aware of this amazing new invention, here is how to get one--order it from the Official Website for BEST PRICE.
1. Which of the following words can best describe AirFreez?
A. Smart but heavy. B. Costly but multi-functional.

B
As a young boy, I knew what people said was not always what they meant or were feeling. And I knew it was possible to get others to do what I wanted if I read their real feelings and responded suitably to their needs. At the age of eleven, I sold sponge rubber (海绵橡皮) door-to-door after school and quickly worked out how to tell if someone was likely to buy from me. When I knocked on a door, if someone told me to go away but their hands were open and they showed their palms, I knew it was safe to continue with my show because they weren’t angry or threatening although they may have a cold attitude. If someone told me to go away in a soft voice but used a pointed finger or closed hand, I knew it was time to leave.
As a teenager, I became a pots and pans (锅碗瓢盆) salesperson, and my ability to read people earned me enough money to buy my first house. Selling gave me the chance to meet people and study them close and to know whether they would buy or not, simply by watching their body language.
I joined the life insurance (保险) business at the age of twenty. And I went on to break several sales records for my company, becoming the youngest person to sell over a million dollars’ worth of business in my first year. I was lucky that the skills I’d learned as a boy in watching body language while selling pots and pans could be used in this new area, and were directly related to the success I could have in any business closely connected with people.
4. What does the author seem to share in Paragraph 1?
A. His present feelings.
B. His positive life attitude.
C. His language ability.
D. His earlier experience.
5. What does the underlined part “this new area” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The life insurance business.
B. The pots and pans industry.
C. The study of body language.
D. The selling of sponge rubber.
6. What was the key to the author’s success?
A. Listening to customers.

C
In July 2021,astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) planted pepper seeds as part of an experiment to test which plants could be successfully grown in space. The peppers were harvested four months later, and the team celebrated with a party and taste test.
For astronauts living mostly off prepackaged foods for months at a time on the ISS,fresh and flavourful produce is welcomed. With long missions to the Moon and Mars in focus, NASA is working to find sustainable ways for astronauts to enjoy fresh foods, which will add key nutrients to their diets and improve their state of mind.
Astronauts have grown radishes, zinnias and a variety of lettuces on board the ISS before, but this is the first time they grew peppers, which posed a new challenge, reports Elizabeth Howell for Space. com.
Biologists at the Kennedy Space Centre spent two years picking the perfect pepper. They wanted to try peppers because they’re a great source of vitamins and nutrients. and they can be eaten raw or cooked.Plus,peppers are fairly low maintenance (保养) to grow.
In June,a carrier delivered supplies to the ISS along with a package of 48 pepper seeds. Astronauts on board planted the seeds in a microwave oven-sized growing container. The conditions in it—such as lighting, watering and air circulation—were controlled by a crew based at the Kennedy Space Centre. On board, the astronauts collected data and offered feedback on the flavour of the peppers.
“This is important because the food astronauts eat needs to be as good as the rest of their equipment,” LaShelle Spencer, a plant scientist at NASA. said over the summer. “To successfully send people to Mars and bring them back to Earth, we will not only require the most nutritious foods, but the best tasting ones as well.”
8. Why did astronauts attempt to plant pepper in space?
A. Only pepper can grow in space.
B. There were no enough food for astronauts.
C. Humans wanted to test which plants can grow in space.
D. Pepper can grow better than other plants.
9. What special benefits does pepper have compared with other plants?
A. Its nutrients are the highest.
B. It needn’t too much later care.
C. It improves their state of mind most.
D. The vitamins in it are the most.
10. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 5?
A. Container. B. Package. C. Microwave. D. Seed.
11. What can we infer from the text?
A. Astronaut need special nutrition to keep the best state of mind.
B. The idea that pepper is grown in space is silly.
C. It is the carrier that is in charge of sending feedback on the peppers.
D. Pepper can’t be eaten cooked in space but it can be eaten raw.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要告诉读者宇航员在太空种植辣椒的原因和过程。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话“In July 2021,astronauts on hoard the International Space Station (ISS) planted pepper seeds as part of an experiment to test which plants could be successfully grown in space.( 2021年7月，国际空间站上的宇航员种植了辣椒种子，作为测试哪些植物可以在太空中成功种植的实验的一部分。)”可知，宇航员试图在太空种植辣椒是因为人类想测试哪些植物可以在太空中生长。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段二三句“They wanted to try peppers because they're a great source of vitamins and nutrients. and they can be eaten raw or cooked. Plus, peppers are fairly low maintenance (保养) to grow. (他们想尝试辣椒，因为辣椒富含维生素和营养。它们可以生吃或煮熟。此外，辣椒生长维护成本相当低。)”，可知他们想尝试辣椒是因为辣椒富含维生素和营养，可以生吃或煮熟。但不是说含有的维生素最多，营养最高，排除D选项，辣椒的生长维护率相当低，也就是说后期不需要太多的照料。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。上文谈到“Astronauts on hoard planted the seeds in a microwave oven-sized growing container.(太空中的宇航员将种子种植在微波炉大小的容器中。) ”，下文谈到“such as lighting, watering and air circulation—were controlled by a crew based at the Kennedy Space Centre.(照明、浇水和空气循环等条件由肯尼迪航天中心的一名机组人员控制。)”从而推知应该是指上文提到的“容器”里面的条件，故it代指container“容器”。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“NASA is working to find sustainable ways for astronauts to enjoy fresh foods,which will add key nutrients to their diets and improve their state of mind. (NASA 正 在 努 力 寻 找可 持 续 的 方式让宇航员享受新鲜食物，这将为他们的饮食添加至关重要的营养，并改善他们的精神状态)”可知，宇航员需要特殊的营养来保持最佳的精神状态。故选A项。
D
Cigarettes aren’t just harmful when they’re being smoked. Even when cigarette ends go out and are cold, new research has found they continue to give off harmful chemicals in the air. In the first 24 hours alone, scientists say a used cigarette end will produce 14 percent of the nicotine (尼古丁) that an actively burning cigarette would produce.
While most of these chemicals are released within a day of being put out, an analysis for the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the level of nicotine fell by just 50% five days later.
“I was absolutely surprised,” since environmental engineer Dustin Poppendieck from the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). “The numbers are significant and could have important impacts when cigarette ends are dealt with indoors or in cars. While much attention has been paid to the health influence of first-hand, second-hand and now third-hand smoking, it is not the case when it comes to the actual cigarette end of the matter.”
To measure emissions (排放) from this forgotten thing, Poppendieck and his team placed 2,100 cigarettes that were recently put out inside a special room. Once the ends were sealed away, the team measured eight chemicals commonly produced by cigarettes, four of which the FDA have their eye on for being harmful or potentially so.
After setting the room’s temperature, the researchers tested how emissions changed under certain conditions. When the air temperature of the room was higher, for instance, they noticed the ends produced these chemicals at higher rates. This finding might discourage those who want to leave ashtrays (烟灰缸) out for days at a time, especially in the heat.
12. What do the researchers say about cigarette ends?
A. They contain little nicotine.
B. They produce no nicotine five days later.
C. They give off nicotine for days.
D. They create as much nicotine as burning cigarettes.
13. What do Poppendieck’s words suggest?
A. First-hand smoking does most harm.
B. The findings are within his expectation.
C. Cigarettes should be dealt with indoors.
D. Health influence of cigarette ends is ignored.
14. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to not cleaning ashtrays for days?
A. Unclear. B. Disapproving. C. Unconcerned. D. Puzzled.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A Used Cigarette Ends Release Harmful Chemicals
B. Cigarettes Are More Harmful While Being Smoked
C. Research Found Reasons For Cigarette Ends’ Harm
D. Cigarette Ends Produce More Chemicals in the Heat
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，香烟不仅在燃烧时有害，甚至在彻底熄灭后烟蒂依然会释放有害化学物质。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While most of these chemicals are released within a day of being put out, an analysis for the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the level of nicotine fell by just 50% five days later.( 美国食品和药物管理局的一项分析发现，虽然这些化学物质大部分在排放后的一天内被释放出来，但五天后尼古丁的含量只下降了50%。)”可知，烟熄灭后，尼古丁的浓度在五天以后仅下降一半，也就是说熄灭的烟蒂好几天内都会释放尼古丁。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中Poppendieck所说的“While much attention has been paid to the health influence of first-hand, second-hand and now third-hand smoking, it is not the case when it comes to the actual cigarette end of the matter. (虽然人们已经很关注吸一手烟、二手烟以及现在的三手烟对健康的影响，但当涉及到真正的香烟时，情况却并非如此。)”可推断，人们不像关注一手烟、二手烟和三手烟对健康的影响那样关注烟蒂对健康的影响，即它对健康的影响被忽视了。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“When the air temperature of the room was higher, for instance, they noticed the ends produced these chemicals at higher rates. (例如，当房间的空气温度较高时，他们注意到这些烟蒂会以更快的速度产生这些化学物质。)”可知，温度高时，烟蒂释放有害的化学物质的速度更快。再根据“This finding might discourage those who want to leave ashtrays (烟灰缸) out for days at a time, especially in the heat. (这一发现可能会让那些想把烟灰缸放在外面好几天的人打消念头，尤其是在炎热的天气里。)”可知，作者并不认同好几天不清理烟灰缸的做法。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。这是一篇说明文，根据全文，特别是文章第一段“Even when cigarette ends go out and are cold, new research has found they continue to give off harmful chemicals in the air. ”概括了主题，即研究发现吸完的烟蒂会释放有害化学物质。所以“Used Cigarette Ends Release Harmful Chemicals(吸完的烟头会释放有害的化学物质)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。

How to Be Productive During Difficult Times
When we are struggling, or when we have a hard time focusing, we may turn to others for help. We may even wish we had a hero to help us. Well, today here is some advice for you.
Turn ourselves into our own heroes.
When we make ourselves heroes, we not only gain focus but also a sense of purpose. ____16____ For example, it can give us hope as stories in the books often do. In stories, writers often give their hero, the main person in the story, a purpose. ____17____
Write out our tasks and ideas.
In stories, heroes also have tasks, which they want to finish and ideas, which they see for themselves. So we can write out our tasks and ideas, not just for a project but for our life as well. With clear tasks and ideas, events in our life no longer seem to be separate events. ____18____ There's just a lot of value in having tasks and ideas.
____19____ When we know our strengths, we can use them fully. In difficult times, we can make our life easier by focusing on our strengths. It is even more important to identify weaknesses. All heroes have them. On their journey they face their weaknesses and learn from them.
Have small goals within a larger goal.
As we know, the hero's journey is not a one—time thing. It is a journey we are on in our entire life. ____20____ Our life's journey is ongoing and ever—changing. We should be realistic with our goals and to be kind to ourselves, especially during difficult times.
A. Learn from heroes in stories.
B. We often live a life without purpose.
C. Know our strengths and weaknesses.
D. They become part of our larger stories.
E. So have small goals that we can measure in some way.
F. We can do the same for ourselves and identify our purposes.
G. Making ourselves the heroes in our own stories helps us in many ways.
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. D 19. C 20. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述在困难时期的一些应对方法。
【16题详解】
上文“When we make ourselves heroes, we not only gain focus but also a sense of purpose.（当我们让自己成为英雄时，我们不仅获得了专注，还获得了一种使命感。）”说明把自己当成英雄会让我们获得专注和使命感。下文“For example, it can give us hope as stories in the books often do.（例如，它可以给我们希望，就像书中的故事经常讲的。）”举例说明把自己当英雄可以带给我们的帮助。G项“Making ourselves the heroes in our own stories helps us in many ways（让自己成为自己故事中的英雄在很多方面都能帮助我们。）”承上启下，说明把自己当英雄在很多方面都能帮助我们，符合语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“In stories, writers often give their hero, the main person in the story, a purpose.（在故事中，作者经常给他们的英雄——故事中的主要人物——赋予一个目的。）”说明故事中的主要人物都有一个要完成的目标。F项“We can do the same for ourselves and identify our purposes.（我们也可以为自己做同样的事情，确定我们的目的。）”说明我们也可以和故事中的英雄一样给自己确定目标，符合语境。故选F项。
【18题详解】
上文“With clear tasks and ideas, events in our life no longer seem to be separate events.（有了明确的使命和愿景，我们生活中的事件就不再是独立的事件。）”说明给生活中的事件确立使命和愿景的原因。D项“They become part of our larger stories.（它们成为我们更大故事的一部分。）”承接上文，说明每一件事有了使命和愿景，便不再独立，它们就会变成我们更大故事的一部分。故选D项。
【19题详解】
下文“When we know our strengths, we can use them fully…It is even more important to identify weaknesses. All heroes have them. On their journey they face their weaknesses and learn from them.（当我们知道自己的长处时，我们就可以充分利用它们。……更重要的是要找出弱点。所有的英雄都有。在他们的旅途中，他们面对自己的弱点并从中学习。）”说明该段讲述我们应该知道自己的优缺点的必要性。C项“Know our strengths and weaknesses.（了解我们的优点和缺点。）”放在段首，引出下文，说明我们应该知道自己的优缺点。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据“Have small goals within a larger goal.（在大目标中设定小目标。）”可知，该段主要讲述设立小目标事。上文“As we know, the hero's journey is not a one—time thing. It is a journey we are on in our entire life.（我们知道，英雄的旅程不是一次性的事情。这是一段我们一生都要经历的旅程。）”给出前提，说明作为主角，会经历多次目标的设立。下文“Our life's journey is ongoing and ever—changing. We should be realistic with our goals and to be kind to ourselves, especially during difficult times.（我们的生命之旅是不断变化的。我们应该现实地对待我们的目标，善待自己，尤其是在困难的时候。）”说明生活是变化的，所以应该根据实际调整目标。E项“So have small goals that we can measure in some way.（所以要有一些我们可以衡量的小目标。）”承接上文，说明生命之旅不是一成不变的，应该设立小目标来应对实际情况。故选E项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家屠呦呦的个人经历和成就。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：屠呦呦，1930年12月30日出生于浙江宁波，是著名的女化学家、女科学家。分析句子结构可知，空前是and，所以空处和前文中的chemist并列，所以空处应填名词scientist表示“科学家”之意。故填scientist。
【42题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：1951年考入北京大学制药业专业，1955年毕业。分析句子结构可知，admit和主语she之间是被动关系，所以应该用被动语态，空前已有be动词was，所以空处应该用过去分词形式。故填admitted。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：句意：1951年考入北京大学制药业专业，1955年毕业。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配major in意为“主修”。故填in。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：毕业后，她在北京的中国中医研究院工作。分析句子结构可知，空前是介词after，后应接名词，graduate的名词是graduation，为不可数名词。故填graduation。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：1969年，她成为这个项目的负责人，并进行了许多测试。分析句子结构可知，head为可数名词，前应用冠词修饰，此处表示“这个项目的负责人”为特指，所以应该用the。故填the。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：1971年，屠呦呦的团队成功地发现和开发了青蒿素，用于治疗世界各地的疟疾患者，她因此获得了许多大奖。分析句子结构可知，空前是介词in，所以空处应该用动名词形式。故填discovering。
【47题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：1971年，屠呦呦的团队成功地发现和开发了青蒿素，用于治疗世界各地的疟疾患者，她因此获得了许多大奖。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是非限制性定语从句，又因空前是介词for，所以空处应该用关系代词作宾语，先行词是前一句话，所以用which。故填which。
【48题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：让我们兴奋和喜悦的是，她于2015年10月5日获得诺贝尔医学奖，成为第一位获得诺贝尔奖的中国女性。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以award做谓语，它和主语she之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，再根据时间状语on October 5th, 2015可知应用一般过去时。故填was awarded。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：让我们兴奋和喜悦的是，她于2015年10月5日获得诺贝尔医学奖，成为第一位获得诺贝尔奖的中国女性。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配the +first sb.+to do...表示“第一个(批)做某事的人(物)”，所以空处应用不定式作后置定语。故填to win。

Ted, a British boy, along with his parents were invited to visit a Chinese calligraphy exhibition in London on last Saturday. They were exciting to have such a good chance to have a close look at the traditional Chinese culture. On the show they enjoyed various fine work with great admiration. To their joy, they saw some Chinese artists giving live performances with brush pens. Ted couldn’t help approach an elderly Chinese artist, which was writing attentively with big brush pen. Ted watched with great interest but asked the artist to show her how to use the brush pen. The artist agreed and give him some instructions patiently. Then Ted couldn’t wait to have a try. He admitted he was deeply attracted by the Chinese calligraphy.
【答案】1.were→was
2.去掉on
3.exciting→excited
4.work→works
5.approach→approaching
6.which→who
7.big前面加a
8.but→and
9.her→him
10.give→gave

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了Ted和父母在伦敦参观中国书法展览的经历。
【详解】1.考查主谓一致。句意：上周六，英国男孩泰德和他的父母受邀参观了伦敦的中国书法展览。分析句子，句子的主语为Ted，第三人称单数，句子为一般过去时，be动词用单数形式was。故将were改为was。
2.考查介词。句意同上。观察句子可知，本句的时间状语last Saturday（上周六）为具体的时间短语，前面不再搭配介词。故将on去掉。
3.考查形容词。句意：他们对有这样一个近距离了解中国传统文化的好机会感到兴奋。根据句意，表示人物的感受“感到兴奋的”，用excited。故将exciting改为excited。
4.考查名词。句意：在展览中，他们带着敬佩欣赏各种精美的作品。根据various可知，后面的名词work（作品）应用可数名词复数works。故将work改为works。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意：泰德忍不住走近一位年长的中国艺术家，他正用大毛笔专心地写着。can’t help doing sth.（情不自禁做某事）固定短语。故将approach改为approaching。
6.考查定语从句关系词。句意同上。本句逗号后的部分为非限制性定语从句，先行词为artist，作从句的主语，表示人，用关系代词who引导。故将which改为who。
7.考查冠词。句意同上。brush pen为可数名词单数，此处表示“一根毛笔”为泛指，big以辅音音素开始发音，用不定冠词a。故在big前面加a。
8.考查连词。句意：泰德饶有兴趣地看着，并要求艺术家向他展示如何使用毛笔。根据句意可知，泰德认真观看，并且要求艺术家向他展示如何使用毛笔，前后句为顺承、递进关系，用and。故将but改为and。
9.考查代词。句意同上。Ted为男孩，show的宾语用表示男性的人称代词宾格形式him。故将her改为him。
10.考查动词时态。句意：画家同意了，并耐心地给了他一些指导。根据agreed可知，句子为一般过去时，动词give也要用过去式gave。故将give改为gave。
