Queen Elizabeth National Park is a place of outstanding beauty and extreme biodiversity. On a previous underwater assignment with my wife and photographic partner, Jennifer Hayes, we’d documented healthy coral reefs surrounded with fish, sharks, and crocodiles. We knew that time, increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going.
We were photographing some jellyfish. Jennifer, her back to me, was focused on something above her. Out of the corner of my viewfinder, I saw a sizable crocodile coming. As I began to take its photograph, I realized that the crocodile was going to swim directly between Jennifer and me. I started to make loud noises through my regulator and moved towards Jen, firing a burst of flash-lit shots to warn her that we had company. She quickly detected my signal and turned to meet our visitor.
She gave me a quick thumbs-up, nodded OK, and said “Hello, handsome” as she bent closer to take its photos. I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didn’t feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. After a few pictures the crocodile, unimpressed with us, swam downstream on its way to do other crocodile things. We continued our search for jellyfish.
There is always risk in our line of work. But this encounter highlighted the good news that we saw all around us here. The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it’s vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. That’s possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. We enter Earth’s oceans on their terms, not our own.
4. What was the author’s purpose in returning to Queen Elizabeth National Park?
A. To enjoy its beauty. B. To assess a document.
C. To check its ecosystem. D. To photograph jellyfish.
5. Why did Jennifer feel at ease with the crocodile?
A. She met it before. B. She trusted her husband.
C. She could protect herself. D. She longed for its company.
6. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A. Explore nature with curiosity.
B. Respect nature while exploring it.
C. Study nature while developing tourism.
D. Protect nature through biological research.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Narrow Escape B. A Risky Job
C. An Underwater Assignment D. A Chance Meeting
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议。讲述了作者和妻子返回伊丽莎白女王国家公园去查看生态系统的变化，其中偶遇了一只鳄鱼，通过和鳄鱼的短暂接触，发现公园的生态系统维持良好，最后呼吁我们在探索自然过程中要敬畏自然。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“We knew that time, increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going. (我们知道，随着时间的推移，旅游业的增长和气候变化可能会使公园变得不同，所以15年后，我们回来看看它是如何发展的)”可知，作者和妻子回来是想看看伊丽莎白女王国家公园的变化。可推测出他们主要是想看看公园的生态系统。故答案为C。
5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didn’t feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. (我钦佩她对鳄鱼的尊重、淡定的好奇心和喜悦。她并没有感到被威胁。在这个特殊的地方她对这种鳄鱼很熟悉，况且她还有一个巨大的水下摄像机外壳，可以充当强大的盾牌如果需要的话)”可知，妻子有可充当盾牌的东西保护自己，所以选项C符合题意。故答案为C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。本段前文“The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it’s vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. That’s possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. (鳄鱼是一种代表性动物，是健康生态系统可以支持顶级捕食者生存的象征。旅游限制的放宽必然会引来更多的游客——因此维持生态旅游、探险和保护生态这三者之间的平衡至关重要。如果游客采用我们对待那只好奇的鳄鱼的相同理念的话，这种平衡是可能达成的)”强调我们要维持三者之间的平衡。由前文可知，作者和妻子是对鳄鱼持以尊重的态度，所以呼吁我们在旅游时也要对生态秉承相同尊重的态度。故答案为B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章刚开始讲述了作者和妻子重返伊丽莎白女王国家公园想查看生态环境的变化，后来在拍照过程中偶遇了一只鳄鱼。通过和鳄鱼的短暂接触，作者呼吁我们在探索自然的过程中对自然持尊重的态度。所以D选项“A chance meeting (一次偶遇)可作为本篇文章的标题。故选D项。
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，辣椒的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
Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming dangers, scientists claim. The ultra-fast mobile Internet would allow for rapid information transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.
Several car manufacturers are already integrating 5G into their vehicles, including as a tool to welcome the coming of self-driving vehicles. Experts believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents — which according to the World Health Organization (WHO) account for more than 1. 3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year — will drop thoroughly as a result. Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said: “With the help of 5G, an early warning system that alerts (给……报警) drivers is possible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will send warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably. Then those cars will transmit the same information to cars near them and so on, forming a joined-up, multi-vehicle communication chain that stretches far and wide.”
Automotive giant Ford is already working on connected cars. Earlier this year it revealed its intention to fit 80 percent of its 2020 vehicles with technology that warns drivers about up-coming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams. The system pools data from other connected road users, emergency services and the authorities and sends it from the cloud directly to the car. Alerts are shown on the car’s dashboard display warning the driver about what lies around the corner.
12. What can we expect of the cars in the future?
A. They will be more personalized.
B. They may replace other vehicles.
C. They may be bigger.
D. They will be safer.
13 What is the function of the communication chain?
A. To send warning messages.
B. To collect drivers’ information.
C. To send the traffic situation to the police.
D. To track other drivers.
14. How can 5G help reduce road accidents?
A. By offering practical safety programs.
B. By offering the fast mobile Internet.
C. By helping WHO calculate traffic accidents.
D. By helping drivers overcome dangers.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Connected cars are equipped with 5G.
B. Ford is the first producer to use 5G.
C. Cars of Ford are the most intelligent.
D. Warning messages are shown on phones.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Experts believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today.(专家认为，高速连接还将提高自动驾驶汽车的可靠性和能力，使其比目前驾驶的手动汽车更安全)”可知，专家们认为将来的汽车会更加安全。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“With the help of 5G, an early warning system that alerts (给……报警) drivers is possible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will send warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably. Then those cars will transmit the same information to cars near them and so on, forming a joined-up, multi-vehicle communication chain that stretches far and wide.(在5G的帮助下，在未来几年内，向司机发出警报的早期预警系统是可能的。距离危险区域足够近的汽车会使用短距离通信技术向周围的其他汽车发送警告信息，也会使用5G快速可靠地向更远的汽车发送警告信息。然后，这些汽车会将相同的信息传输到他们附近的汽车，依此类推，形成一个连接在一起的、延伸到很远很广的多车辆通信链)”可知，通信链的功能是向附近的车辆发送警告信息。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming dangers, scientists claim. The ultra-fast mobile Internet would allow for rapid information transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.(科学家称，汽车可能很快就会通过5G相互通信，让司机意识到即将到来的危险。超高速的移动互联网将允许快速的信息传输，并可能让司机意识到前方的薄冰、坑洞或其他危险)”和文章第二段“Experts believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents — which according to the World Health Organization (WHO) account for more than 1.3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year — will drop thoroughly as a result.(专家认为，高速连接还将提高自动驾驶汽车的可靠性和能力，使其比目前驾驶的手动汽车更安全。他们预测，道路交通事故的数量将因此彻底下降。根据世界卫生组织（WHO）的数据，全球每年有超过130万人死于道路交通事故，多达5000万人受伤)”可知，5G通过提供快速的移动互联网从而减少交通事故的发生次数。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Automotive giant Ford is already working on connected cars. Earlier this year it revealed its intention to fit 80 percent of its 2020 vehicles with technology that warns drivers about up-coming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams.(汽车巨头福特已经在研发联网汽车。今年早些时候，该公司透露，打算在2020年生产的80%的汽车中安装这项技术，（该技术）向司机发出即将发生的交通事故、恶劣天气和交通拥堵的警告)”可知，福特公司在这些联网汽车中使用了一种技术，通过这种技术可以提前向司机发出警告，而通过文章可知，这项技术是需要5G来支持的，故可推测出，这些联网汽车装备了5G。BC选项文章未提到，可排除。根据文章最后一段最后一句“Alerts are shown on the car’s dashboard display warning the driver about what lies around the corner.(汽车的仪表盘显示屏上会显示警报，警告司机拐角处有什么)”可知，警告信息是显示在汽车的仪表显示屏上面的，而不是手机。D选项描述错误。故选A。

【答案】Dear Ben,
How are you doing? Owing to the occasional outbreak of the Covid-19, we sometimes have to have lessons on line at home. Actually it is not that bad. Online courses break through the limitation of time and space, providing us with great convenience to study and saving us and our parents a lot of time. But it also has some disadvantages, one of which is that it requires students’ self-discipline and lacks interaction between teacher and students.
All in all, every coin has two sides. As far as I am concerned, if you can make full use of every possible means appropriately to study, it won’t matter whether you study online or in the classroom.
Yours,
Li Hua

No Time
With a broad smile on her lips, 15-year old Sirin rushed to her mom to show off her new painting. But mom raised her eyebrows with eyes wide open, and spoke in an impatient tone, “No time, baby. Right now I am busy with an important talk. Just wait for some time,OK?”
Holding her oil painting, she frowned (皱眉), and then searched for her dad.
“Dad, see what I have done,” Sirin announced aloud in a thrilling voice. Her dad turned around while adjusting his tie, grinned at her, and showed his thumbs up!
Immediately, blowing her two cheeks, Sirin replied angrily, “Dad, you haven’t seen it yet.”
He smiled at her saying, “No time, baby. I will see it later.” He just patted her back lovingly, kissed her forehead, and rushed for his office.
She was not a kid to be pleased with simple gesture or smile. She stood there for a few seconds,and then stormed off to her own bedroom. Hot air was blowing from her nostrils (鼻孔); her face turned into apple red. She threw the painting on the table, slammed (把……砰地关上) the door and threw herself on her bed.
“Why is everybody so busy?” She recalled thousands of incidents that hurt her in pre-school, middle school and even in high school too! She assumed at least her own family members would give some values to her thoughts, but they were no exception. Unconsciously, her eyes were filled with tears.
The knocking sound on the door put a sudden brake to her thought. Her mom was calling her for dinner. Sirin deliberately came late to join them. She kept silent and didn’t look at anyone, scratching the table mat with her nail. Her mom was puzzled at the unusual behavior. Suddenly, the morning incident clicked in her mind. Softly, she asked, “Honey, did I do anything wrong?”
Para 1: At this very moment, Sirin could no longer resist her anger.__________________
________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: When back from school the next day, Sirin was surprised to see her beautifully-decorated paining on the wall______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At this very moment, Sirin could no longer resist her anger. “Why is everybody so busy?” she roared, tears streaming down. She assumed that her mom and dad would feel proud of her great talent, would appreciate her painting but she was disgusted with everybody having “no time” for her. “I hate you!” She screamed, grabbed the painting on the table and tore it in half. Shocked, mom threw her arms around her tightly, announcing regretfully and firmly, “Baby, I am so sorry! I promise this mistake will not be repeated.”
When back from school the next day, Sirin was surprised to see her beautifully-decorated painting on the wall. It was beautifully framed and just below the painting, it was written “We are so proud of you, our little angle!” On seeing it, she burst out crying. She ran to her mom and hugged her tightly as well, fully aware of her mom’s love. Recalling her mom’s stress from work and daily life, she was regretting her previous behavior. She ducked her head, apologizing, “Sorry, mom!” It dawned on them that though everything came and went, mutual understanding would stay forever in their family.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达属于读后续写。
【详解】1.认真读懂所给提供的材料：15岁的瑟琳嘴角挂着灿烂的笑容，跑到爸爸妈妈面前炫耀她的新画作。但是爸爸妈妈并没有给予真正的关注和欣赏，而是不耐烦地表示没有时间。这让瑟琳非常地生气。
2.根据第一段首句At this very moment, Sirin could no longer resist her anger.(此时此刻，瑟琳再也无法抑制自己的愤怒)可以围绕瑟琳开始发泄自己的愤怒展开构思；根据第二段首句When back from school the next day, Sirin was surprised to see her beautifully-decorated painting on the wall.(第二天从学校回来的时候，瑟琳惊讶地看到墙上挂着她装饰得很漂亮的画)可以推知，爸爸妈妈可能意识到她们忽略了她的感受，所以把她的画装饰的很漂亮，并挂在了墙上。第二段可以围绕瑟琳与爸爸妈妈的进一步交流展开构思。
3.续写的语言要尽可能与原文的语言保持风格上的一致。文章时态以一般过去时为主。应使用自己熟悉的句型和短语进行写作，考生要注意尽可能使句子的表达形式多样化，适当的使用一些高级句式和高级词汇，以提高书面表达的档次和可读性。作文要层次清晰，要点全面，表达流畅，切合题干要求，句子结构准确，适当补充信息，使篇章结构连贯。
【点睛】范文内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。作者在范文中使用了较多高级表达方式，如独立主格结构“Why is everybody so busy?” she roared, tears streaming down.形容词作状语、非谓语动词及宾语从句Shocked, mom threw her arms around her tightly, announcing regretfully and firmly, “Baby, I am so sorry! I promise this mistake will not be repeated.”让步状语从句It dawned on them that though everything came and went, mutual understanding would stay forever in their family.全文中没有中国式英语句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。

On a previous underwater assignment with my wife and photographic partner, Jennifer Hayes, we’d documented healthy coral reefs surrounded with fish, sharks, and crocodiles. We knew that time, increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going.
We were photographing some jellyfish. Jennifer, her back to me, was focused on something above her. Out of the corner of my viewfinder, I saw a sizable crocodile coming. As I began to take its photograph, I realized that the crocodile was going to swim directly between Jennifer and me. I started to make loud noises through my regulator and moved towards Jen, firing a burst of flash-lit shots to warn her that we had company. She quickly detected my signal and turned to meet our visitor.
She gave me a quick thumbs-up, nodded OK, and said “Hello, handsome” as she bent closer to take its photos. I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didn’t feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. After a few pictures the crocodile, unimpressed with us, swam downstream on its way to do other crocodile things. We continued our search for jellyfish.
There is always risk in our line of work. But this encounter highlighted the good news that we saw all around us here. The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it’s vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. That’s possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. We enter Earth’s oceans on their terms, not our own.
4. What was the author’s purpose in returning to Queen Elizabeth National Park?
A. To enjoy its beauty. B. To assess a document.
C. To check its ecosystem. D. To photograph jellyfish.
5. Why did Jennifer feel at ease with the crocodile?
A. She met it before. B. She trusted her husband.

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.

Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming dangers, scientists claim. The ultra-fast mobile Internet would allow for rapid information transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.
Several car manufacturers are already integrating 5G into their vehicles, including as a tool to welcome the coming of self-driving vehicles. Experts believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents — which according to the World Health Organization (WHO) account for more than 1. 3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year — will drop thoroughly as a result. Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said: “With the help of 5G, an early warning system that alerts (给……报警) drivers is possible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will send warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably. Then those cars will transmit the same information to cars near them and so on, forming a joined-up, multi-vehicle communication chain that stretches far and wide.”
Automotive giant Ford is already working on connected cars. Earlier this year it revealed its intention to fit 80 percent of its 2020 vehicles with technology that warns drivers about up-coming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams. The system pools data from other connected road users, emergency services and the authorities and sends it from the cloud directly to the car. Alerts are shown on the car’s dashboard display warning the driver about what lies around the corner.
12. What can we expect of the cars in the future?
A. They will be more personalized.
B. They may replace other vehicles.
C. They may be bigger.
D. They will be safer.
13 What is the function of the communication chain?
A. To send warning messages.
B. To collect drivers’ information.
C. To send the traffic situation to the police.
D. To track other drivers.
14. How can 5G help reduce road accidents?
A. By offering practical safety programs.
B. By offering the fast mobile Internet.
C. By helping WHO calculate traffic accidents.
D. By helping drivers overcome dangers.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Connected cars are equipped with 5G.
B. Ford is the first producer to use 5G.
C. Cars of Ford are the most intelligent.
D. Warning messages are shown on phones.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A

细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Experts believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today.(专家认为，高速连接还将提高自动驾驶汽车的可靠性和能力，使其比目前驾驶的手动汽车更安全)”可知，专家们认为将来的汽车会更加安全。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“With the help of 5G, an early warning system that alerts (给……报警) drivers is possible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will send warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably. Then those cars will transmit the same information to cars near them and so on, forming a joined-up, multi-vehicle communication chain that stretches far and wide.(在5G的帮助下，在未来几年内，向司机发出警报的早期预警系统是可能的。距离危险区域足够近的汽车会使用短距离通信技术向周围的其他汽车发送警告信息，也会使用5G快速可靠地向更远的汽车发送警告信息。然后，这些汽车会将相同的信息传输到他们附近的汽车，依此类推，形成一个连接在一起的、延伸到很远很广的多车辆通信链)”可知，通信链的功能是向附近的车辆发送警告信息。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming dangers, scientists claim. The ultra-fast mobile Internet would allow for rapid information transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.(科学家称，汽车可能很快就会通过5G相互通信，让司机意识到即将到来的危险。超高速的移动互联网将允许快速的信息传输，并可能让司机意识到前方的薄冰、坑洞或其他危险)”和文章第二段“Experts believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents — which according to the World Health Organization (WHO) account for more than 1.3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year — will drop thoroughly as a result.(专家认为，高速连接还将提高自动驾驶汽车的可靠性和能力，使其比目前驾驶的手动汽车更安全。他们预测，道路交通事故的数量将因此彻底下降。根据世界卫生组织（WHO）的数据，全球每年有超过130万人死于道路交通事故，多达5000万人受伤)”可知，5G通过提供快速的移动互联网从而减少交通事故的发生次数。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Automotive giant Ford is already working on connected cars. Earlier this year it revealed its intention to fit 80 percent of its 2020 vehicles with technology that warns drivers about up-coming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams.(汽车巨头福特已经在研发联网汽车。今年早些时候，该公司透露，打算在2020年生产的80%的汽车中安装这项技术，（该技术）向司机发出即将发生的交通事故、恶劣天气和交通拥堵的警告)”可知，福特公司在这些联网汽车中使用了一种技术，通过这种技术可以提前向司机发出警告，而通过文章可知，这项技术是需要5G来支持的，故可推测出，这些联网汽车装备了5G。BC选项文章未提到，可排除。根据文章最后一段最后一句“Alerts are shown on the car’s dashboard display warning the driver about what lies around the corner.(汽车的仪表盘显示屏上会显示警报，警告司机拐角处有什么)”可知，警告信息是显示在汽车的仪表显示屏上面的，而不是手机。D选项描述错误。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“阳”过的人们是否会再次感染新冠肺炎？
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意：随着最新的COVID-19疫情在澳大利亚开始消退，一些人可能会发现自己从冠状病毒感染中恢复，甚至再次感染。分析句子设空处使用代词作宾语，此处表示“一些人们自己”用反身代词即themselves。故填themselves。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：但专家表示，虽然感染COVID-19可以为未来的冠状病毒感染提供一些保护，但依靠疫苗和增强剂来提供这种保护要安全得多。分析句子，句中provide some protection against sth意为“对某事提供防御”用介词against。故填against。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：同上。分析句子，设空处使用形容词作表语，同时此处表示“依靠疫苗和增强剂来提供这种保护要安全得多”，句中much后接比较级，safe为形容词，意为“安全的”。故填safer。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：是的，感染COVID-19绝对有可能不止一次。分析句子，设空处应该使用definite的副词definitely，意为“确定地”作状语，修饰形容词possible。故填definitely。
【40题详解】
考查特殊疑问句。句意：COVID-19再感染有多严重？分析句子，设空处构成的是特殊疑问句，此处表示“多么”用特殊疑问词how。同时该空置于句首，首字母大写。故填How。
【41题详解】
考查动词。句意：专家们说，通常情况下，无论你感染的是哪种变异，二次感染都比初次感染要轻。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语。句子表述客观事实，故使用一般现在时。同时句中you和infect之间是被动关系，故使用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are infected。
【42题详解】
考查动词。句意：正如专家们上面解释的那样，过去感染过COVID-19将在一定程度上保护你在未来不会再次感染。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，同时句中in the future为一般将来时时间标志。故填will protect。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：为了防止COVID-19的再次感染，人们可以使用与预防首次冠状病毒感染相同的公共卫生策略。分析句子，设空处引导的是定语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，指代先行词public health strategies，为物；同时先行词前有the same，其表示的是“与预防首次冠状病毒感染相同的公共卫生策略”，应用that。故填that。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这包括接种疫苗和加强针，在公共场合戴口罩，在适当的时候进行检测，并注意通风。句中get done为固定短语，此处boost表示“增强，加强”，使用过去分词作表语，与前文的vaccinated构成并列结构。故填boosted。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子，设空处应该使用动名词作宾语，与空前的getting，wearing，getting构成并列结构。include doing sth为固定短语，意为“包含做某事”。故填focusing。

Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Ben,
How are you doing? Owing to the occasional outbreak of the Covid-19, we sometimes have to have lessons on line at home. Actually it is not that bad. Online courses break through the limitation of time and space, providing us with great convenience to study and saving us and our parents a lot of time. But it also has some disadvantages, one of which is that it requires students’ self-discipline and lacks interaction between teacher and students.
All in all, every coin has two sides. As far as I am concerned, if you can make full use of every possible means appropriately to study, it won’t matter whether you study online or in the classroom.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
No Time
With a broad smile on her lips, 15-year old Sirin rushed to her mom to show off her new painting. But mom raised her eyebrows with eyes wide open, and spoke in an impatient tone, “No time, baby. Right now I am busy with an important talk. Just wait for some time,OK?”
Holding her oil painting, she frowned (皱眉), and then searched for her dad.
“Dad, see what I have done,” Sirin announced aloud in a thrilling voice. Her dad turned around while adjusting his tie, grinned at her, and showed his thumbs up!
Immediately, blowing her two cheeks, Sirin replied angrily, “Dad, you haven’t seen it yet.”
He smiled at her saying, “No time, baby. I will see it later.” He just patted her back lovingly, kissed her forehead, and rushed for his office.
She was not a kid to be pleased with simple gesture or smile. She stood there for a few seconds,and then stormed off to her own bedroom. Hot air was blowing from her nostrils (鼻孔); her face turned into apple red. She threw the painting on the table, slammed (把……砰地关上) the door and threw herself on her bed.
“Why is everybody so busy?” She recalled thousands of incidents that hurt her in pre-school, middle school and even in high school too! She assumed at least her own family members would give some values to her thoughts, but they were no exception. Unconsciously, her eyes were filled with tears.
The knocking sound on the door put a sudden brake to her thought. Her mom was calling her for dinner. Sirin deliberately came late to join them. She kept silent and didn’t look at anyone, scratching the table mat with her nail. Her mom was puzzled at the unusual behavior. Suddenly, the morning incident clicked in her mind. Softly, she asked, “Honey, did I do anything wrong?”
Para 1: At this very moment, Sirin could no longer resist her anger.__________________
________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: When back from school the next day, Sirin was surprised to see her beautifully-decorated paining on the wall______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At this very moment, Sirin could no longer resist her anger. “Why is everybody so busy?” she roared, tears streaming down. She assumed that her mom and dad would feel proud of her great talent, would appreciate her painting but she was disgusted with everybody having “no time” for her. “I hate you!” She screamed, grabbed the painting on the table and tore it in half. Shocked, mom threw her arms around her tightly, announcing regretfully and firmly, “Baby, I am so sorry! I promise this mistake will not be repeated.”
When back from school the next day, Sirin was surprised to see her beautifully-decorated painting on the wall. It was beautifully framed and just below the painting, it was written “We are so proud of you, our little angle!” On seeing it, she burst out crying. She ran to her mom and hugged her tightly as well, fully aware of her mom’s love. Recalling her mom’s stress from work and daily life, she was regretting her previous behavior. She ducked her head, apologizing, “Sorry, mom!” It dawned on them that though everything came and went, mutual understanding would stay forever in their family.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达属于读后续写。
【详解】1.认真读懂所给提供的材料：15岁的瑟琳嘴角挂着灿烂的笑容，跑到爸爸妈妈面前炫耀她的新画作。但是爸爸妈妈并没有给予真正的关注和欣赏，而是不耐烦地表示没有时间。这让瑟琳非常地生气。
2.根据第一段首句At this very moment, Sirin could no longer resist her anger.(此时此刻，瑟琳再也无法抑制自己的愤怒)可以围绕瑟琳开始发泄自己的愤怒展开构思；根据第二段首句When back from school the next day, Sirin was surprised to see her beautifully-decorated painting on the wall.(第二天从学校回来的时候，瑟琳惊讶地看到墙上挂着她装饰得很漂亮的画)可以推知，爸爸妈妈可能意识到她们忽略了她的感受，所以把她的画装饰的很漂亮，并挂在了墙上。第二段可以围绕瑟琳与爸爸妈妈的进一步交流展开构思。
3.续写的语言要尽可能与原文的语言保持风格上的一致。文章时态以一般过去时为主。应使用自己熟悉的句型和短语进行写作，考生要注意尽可能使句子的表达形式多样化，适当的使用一些高级句式和高级词汇，以提高书面表达的档次和可读性。作文要层次清晰，要点全面，表达流畅，切合题干要求，句子结构准确，适当补充信息，使篇章结构连贯。
【点睛】范文内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。作者在范文中使用了较多高级表达方式，如独立主格结构“Why is everybody so busy?” she roared, tears streaming down.形容词作状语、非谓语动词及宾语从句Shocked, mom threw her arms around her tightly, announcing regretfully and firmly, “Baby, I am so sorry! I promise this mistake will not be repeated.”让步状语从句It dawned on them that though everything came and went, mutual understanding would stay forever in their family.全文中没有中国式英语句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
