During the first COVID-19 outbreak, Dr. Kirby White struggled to get enough disposable gowns (一次性罩衣), so she and her colleague Dr. Nicole Lowe decided to act. In March2020, they developed a gown that could be laundered and reused, allowing them to keep seeing patients at their Bendigo’s clinic.
“The second COVID-19 wave made it impossible for anyone to purchase disposable gowns, says Kirby, who explains one reusable gown lasts as long as 130 single-use gowns. “It was important to have a reusable gown. We didn’t know how long the pandemic would last so we needed a sustainable solution.”
Two weeks later, Gowns for Doctors was created. Taking to social media, Kirby, 36, shared the initiative (新方案) in a local Facebook group. Overnight, hundreds of volunteers put up their hands to sew (缝), donate fabric and distribute the gowns. She was blown away by the unbelievable response. “We had400 emails overnight! “Kirby says. “It’s the spirit that allowed us to send out so many gowns to people in need. Months later, Gowns for Doctors still has a lot of gowns if medical staff are in need of them. We are continuing to help those who need them.”
The success of the initiative has now gone global, after a company contacted Kirby to create a Barbie doll (芭比娃娃) in her image, celebrating all the healthcare heroes globally. “Seeing my one-of-a-kind Barbie doll for the first time was a heart-skip moment. There were tears of joy. She looks just like me! ”
After hand-packing every order, Dr. White loves seeing happy healthcare workers wearing their donated gowns. “We’ve been sent photos of medical staff wearing their gowns with big smiles,” she says. “Everyone has been so appreciative; we are inundated with thank-you cards. It’s so nice to see them.”
4. Why did Kirby start to make reusable gowns?
A. There was a lack of gowns’ materials.
B. The number of the patients was large.
C. There weren’t enough disposable gowns.
D. The quality of the disposable gowns was poor.
5. What did the volunteers do for the initiative?
A. They wrote a lot of emails. B. They helped make the gowns.
C. They bought many new gowns. D. They called some medical staff.
6. How did Kirby feel when she saw the Barbie doll for the first time?
A. Annoyed. B. Curious. C. Upset. D. Touched.
7. What does the underlined word “inundated” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Flooded. B. Competed. C. Compared. D. Equipped.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在COVID-19疫情期间，Kirby White医生因一次性罩衣不足而开发了一款可重复使用的罩衣并推广的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“During the first COVID-19 outbreak, Dr. Kirby White struggled to get enough disposable gowns (一次性罩衣), so she and her colleague Dr. Nicole Lowe decided to act. In March2020, they developed a gown that could be laundered and reused, allowing them to keep seeing patients at their Bendigo’s clinic. (在第一次COVID-19疫情期间，Kirby White医生难以获得足够的一次性罩衣，因此她和同事Nicole Lowe医生决定采取行动。2020年3月，他们开发了一款可以清洗和重复使用的罩衣，让他们可以继续在他们Bendigo的诊所看病)”可知，因为没有足够的一次性罩衣，所以Kirby开始制作可重复使用的罩衣。故选C项。
【5题详解】

【7题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前半部分“Everyone has been so appreciative; (每个人都很感激)”说明人们对此事非常感激，从而推知划线部分“we are inundated with thank-you cards. (感谢卡对我们来说inundated)”其中划线词汇应为“蜂拥而至，应接不暇”的意思，选项A“大量涌入，大量送至”与之意义最为接近。故选A项。

Some Asian children are becoming increasingly fat, a new report says. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) joint report was released on Monday. The two agencies call for better regulation of junk food and a limit on sugary drinks for children. They also call for action against malnutrition (营养不良), because a lack of food has prevented children who live in poverty growing normally and healthily-or rather, hurts their development.
Dorothy Foote is a UNICEF regional nutritional specialist. She says the lack of food affects children’s height and development inside their bodies. But at the same time, the area is facing high levels of overweight children.
The main reason for the food problems, the report says, is that there is more junk food available, which does not provide nutrition. Another problem is drinks with high sugar or high trans-fat, but low nutritional value. Lack of physical activity is also part of the problem, the report adds.
Foote says this is seen in nutrition across the area. She says people lack knowledge about what is needed and normal for healthy children’s development.
The economic growth in the area has brought unhealthy products to rural areas. Poor and middle-class families buy them and do not make the right choices to use healthier foods instead. Poor feeding practices, especially for children younger than two, mean ongoing high levels of malnutrition.
The report says governments need to regulate the marketing of junk food and sugary drinks to children. It also calls for better feeding practices for infants and young children, and treatment for severely malnourished children. And it says the countries should work to reduce poverty and make sure that children stay in school.
8. What does the report focus on?
A. The economic growth in Asia.
B. Asian countries’ development.
C. The education in Asian rural areas.
D. Some Asian children’s health problems.
9. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph5 refer to?
A. The right choices. B. The high levels.
C. The unhealthy products. D. The healthier foods.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The children’s situations. B. The report’s suggestions.
C. The governments’ efforts. D. The problem’s causes.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The reasons for children’s being hungry
B. How to stop children from being overweight?
C. Why children in Asia become overweight?
D. Asian children face malnutrition or fatness
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文章介绍了新的报告称一些亚洲儿童变得越来越胖。联合国儿童基金会和世界卫生组织呼吁更好地监管垃圾食品，并限制儿童含糖饮料。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“Some Asian children are becoming increasingly fat, a new report says. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) joint report was released on Monday. The two agencies call for better regulation of junk food and a limit on sugary drinks for children. They also call for action against malnutrition, because a lack of food has prevented children who live in poverty growing normally and healthily-or rather, hurts their development. (一份新报告称，一些亚洲儿童变得越来越胖。联合国儿童基金会和世界卫生组织的联合报告于周一发布。这两个机构呼吁更好地监管垃圾食品，并限制儿童含糖饮料。他们还呼吁采取行动消除营养不良，因为缺乏食物使生活在贫困中的儿童无法正常、健康地成长，或者更确切地说，损害了他们的发展)”可知，报告关注的是一些亚洲儿童的健康问题。故选D项。

【9题详解】
词义猜测题。由第五段第一句“The economic growth in the area has brought unhealthy products to rural areas. (该地区的经济增长给农村地区带来了不健康的产品)”可知，them指代的是前文提及的不健康的食品，即一些贫穷或中产阶级的家庭购买这些不健康的食品，而不是选择更健康的食品。故选C项。

【10题详解】
主旨大意题。由最后一段“The report says governments need to regulate the marketing of junk food and sugary drinks to children. It also calls for better feeding practices for infants and young children, and treatment for severely malnourished children. And it says the countries should work to reduce poverty and make sure that children stay in school. (报告称，政府需要监管向儿童销售垃圾食品和含糖饮料。它还呼吁为婴儿和幼儿提供更好的喂养方法，并对严重营养不良的儿童进行治疗。它说，各国应该努力减少贫困，并确保儿童留在学校)”可知，最后一段主要呼吁政府采取一些措施。故选B项。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Some Asian children are becoming increasingly fat, a new report says. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) joint report was released on Monday. The two agencies call for better regulation of junk food and a limit on sugary drinks for children. They also call for action against malnutrition, because a lack of food has prevented children who live in poverty growing normally and healthily-or rather, hurts their development.

D
If we continue at our current production rate, the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Today, there is a garbage island three times the size of France floating in the Pacific Ocean. However, in her presentation last week, Alexandra Cousteau, a world-renowned environmental advocate, offered a small sign of hope.
Cousteau’s talk, titled “Telling the Story of Our Water Planet: Innovation in Filmmaking and Social Media to Effect Environmental Change”, focused on using innovation and technology to create environmental solutions with a focus on restoration rather than preservation. She described our current approach to conservation as a “zero-sum game” between environmentalists and economists. An endangered species habitat can either be protected or developed; a polluted stream can either be cleaned or left to deteriorate (恶化). Both teams are on the defensive, yet playing a losing game.
In the 1970s, the environmentalist movement focused on conservation efforts. Cousteau said, “It was an effective tool then when plastics were young. But we have lost 50 % of our oceanic ecosystems since 1950. Conservation is no longer enough. “Cousteau urges us to create biological richness for the creatures still living in the sea.
Throughout her speech, Cousteau discussed the challenges facing our oceans and the solutions lying at our fingertips. She explained the power of seaweed farming to sequester (隔离) carbon. She talked of 3 D printing coral reefs rather than painstakingly growing. Most of all, she focused on the youths and our amazing power for driving practical change.
Cousteau said however, there are challenges in the mission. Ocean conservation has inequalities (不平等) in its approach and implementation. Though the science exists, lawmakers need to employ these solutions efficiently and equitably, which is far easier said than done. Despite these obstacles, Cousteau’s message gave hope.
Modern environmentalism is no longer the work of a few, but the work of many dedicated individuals with a common vision for change. Together, we can regain hope and rebuild our oceans.
12. Why is the World Economic Forum’s prediction mentioned?
A. To share environmental solutions.
B. To tell the content of Cousteau’s talk.
C. To show the serious result of oceanic garbage.
D. To show our current dangerous living condition.
13. What does Cousteau want to express through the “zero-sum game”?
A. The failure of protecting the environment.
B. People’s awareness of protecting the Earth.
C. The success of the environmentalist movement.
D. People’s creative solution to protecting the Earth.
14. What does Cousteau think of the environmentalist movement in the 1970s?
A. It should be continued.
B. It should be prevented now.
C. It was useful for biological richness.
D. It was good but then had little effect.
15. What can we know about Cousteau from the text?
A. Her goal is difficult to achieve.
B. Her focus on the youths’ efforts is wrong.
C. She will rebuild the ocean by herself in the future.
D. She believes in the present ways to protect the ocean.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文行介绍了世界经济论坛预测，到2050年，海洋中的塑料将比鱼类更多，世界著名的环保倡导者Alexandra Cousteau提出濒危物种的栖息地可以受到保护或开发，受污染的溪流可以被清理，也可以让它们恶化。现代环保主义不再是少数人的工作，我们要一起努力，重建我们的海洋。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段前两句“If we continue at our current production rate, the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Today, there is a garbage island three times the size of France floating in the Pacific Ocean. (如果我们继续保持目前的生产速度，世界经济论坛预测，到2050年，海洋中的塑料将比鱼类更多。今天，有一个三倍于法国大小的垃圾岛漂浮在太平洋上。)”可知，文章提及the World Economic Forum’s prediction是为了引出本篇文章的主题，海洋当中的塑料问题很严重。故选C项。

【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段的二三两句“She described our current approach to conservation as a “zero-sum game” between environmentalists and economists. An endangered species habitat can either be protected or developed; a polluted stream can either be cleaned or left to deteriorate. Both teams are on the defensive, yet playing a losing game. (她将我们目前的保护方法描述为环保主义者和经济学家之间的“零和游戏”。濒危物种的栖息地可以受到保护或开发；受污染的溪流可以被清理，也可以让它们变质。两支球队都在防守，但正在打一场失败的比赛。)”可知，提及zero-sum game是为了说明这是一场失败的比赛。故选A项。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“In the 1970s, the environmentalist movement focused on conservation efforts. Cousteau said, “It was an effective tool then when plastics were young. But we have lost 5o% of our oceanic ecosystems since 1950. Conservation is no longer enough. “Cousteau urges us to create biological richness for the creatures still living in the sea. (在20世纪70年代，环保运动专注于保护工作。Cousteau说：“当塑料还年轻的时候，这是一个有效的工具。但自1950年以来，我们已经失去了5%的海洋生态系统。保护已经不够了。“库斯托敦促我们为仍然生活在海洋中的生物创造生物丰富的生物丰富性。)”可知，Cousteau 认为在20世纪70年代的环保运动有效但现在保护已经不够了。故选D项。

【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Cousteau said, however, there are challenges in the mission. Ocean conservation has inequalities in its approach and implementation. Though the science exists, lawmakers need to employ these solutions efficiently and equitably, which is far easier said than done. Despite these obstacles, Cousteau’s message gave hope.(然而，库斯托说，特派团存在挑战。海洋保护在方法和实施方面存在不平等。虽然科学存在，但立法者需要高效和公平地使用这些解决方案，这说起来容易做起来难。尽管存在这些障碍，库斯托的信息还是带来了希望。)”可知，她的想法说起来容易做起来难，即比较难实现。故选A项。

【36题详解】

【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：科技的兴起，伴随着新产品的推出，正在改变着我们的世界，导致了来自世界各地的新词的引入语言中。分析可知，此处为非谓语，动词lead和主语之间是主动关系，故用其现在分词作状语，表示自然结果。故填leading。

【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：短信的增加和缩写的使用都导致了不仅是英语，而且是世界上其他语言的显著衰退。根据后文of abbreviations等句意可知，此处名词use是特指概念，应用定冠词限定。故填the。

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。
Andy rode slowly on his way to school, daydreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the sky. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm (一大群) of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and they seemed to be heading angrily towards him.
With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding with great speed but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings (蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to lie in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”
On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson’s home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson’s house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon. But he tried his best to keep calm so that he could come up with an idea to escape from the dangerous situation. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam which was often used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without hesitation, Andy jumped off his bike and dived into the cool water.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In no time, his mother appeared in front of him.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Without hesitation, Andy jumped off his bike and dived into the cool water. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mr. Nelson happened to be home and seeing the tired and wet boy, the owner took him inside. After knowing what Andy had experienced, he praised the boy and rang his mother.
In no time, his mother appeared in front of him. Seeing Andy, his mother anxiously asked whether he was injured. Andy answered it was the dam that saved him. His mother laughed with relief and said he really needed that fishing break to help him recover. But Andy did not hear her. He was thinking his father’s words “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic.” And he realized how important it was to listen to parents.
