Many artists draw with pens and brushes, but few “paint” with knives. Wang Jing, a woman from Shenyang city in northeast China’s Liaoning Province, has been engaged in this art form for 27 years.
In 1995, Wang was inspired by an accidental cut by a knife on a piece of red paper, which left a white line, and believed that she may have created something out of the ordinary. Using knives and paper, she then completed a painting of a pair of peacocks that later became a source of motivation for her 27-year endeavor.
Unlike traditional paintings, onto which colors are “added”, “knife painting” requires the painter to use blades (刀锋) to take away colors on specially made coated paper. “Knife painters” apply varied pressure on the paper in different directions to create different colors and tones. “Painting on paper with knives is a delicate art and each line in the painting is as thin as a hair,” said Wang, adding that once the marks are left on the paper, they cannot be covered, so it requires the painter to be completely absorbed in the work.
The novel art form was known to few people just after Wang created it. Even Wang herself was not expecting to make it something big at the beginning. But thanks to her huge enthusiasm for the art form, she has persisted with it for the past 27 years. So far, she has completed hundreds of paintings about auspicious Chinese culture, figures, landscape, flowers and birds, of which her favorite is a 2.8-meter-long painting that depicts 20 lifelike egrets (白鹭). Wang said she will continue working in the craft and make it known across the world.
24. What motivated Wang in her 27-year devotion to knife painting?
A. The red paper. B. The white line.
C. The accidental cut. D. The painting of peacocks.
25. What can be learned about knife painting from Paragraph 3?
A. It takes away colors. B. It needs painters’ focus.
C. It creates thin marks. D. It applies varied pressure.
26. What does the underlined word “novel” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. Original. B. Valuable. C. Traditional. D. Complex.
27. Which of the following can best describe Wang?
A. Optimistic and caring. B. Creative and ambitious.
C. Enthusiastic and humble. D. Persistent and aggressive.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一位有创造力且有雄心壮志的用刀作画的女艺术家。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Using knives and paper, she then completed a painting of a pair of peacocks that later became a source of motivation for her 27-year endeavor.”（然后，她用刀和纸完成了一幅孔雀画，这幅画后来成为她27年努力的动力来源。）可知，她的动力来源是一副孔雀画，故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段最后一句““Painting on paper with knives is a delicate art and each line in the painting is as thin as a hair,”said Wang, adding that once the marks are left on the paper, they cannot be covered, so it requires the painter to be completely absorbed in the work.”（“用刀在纸上作画是一门精致的艺术，画中的每一条线都像头发一样细，”王说，并补充说，一旦在纸上留下痕迹，就无法覆盖，因此需要画家完全专注于作品。）可知，用刀作画需要极高的专注度，故选B项。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。由第四段第一句“The novel art form was known to few people just after Wang created it.”（这种___的艺术形式在王创作之后就很少有人知道了。），根据created“创造”以及“很少有人知道”可知，这种艺术形式是新创造的，自然是新颖的，original意为“新颖的、独创的”，故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。由上题提到的王女士创造了这种艺术形式以及文末段最后一句“Wang said she will continue working in the craft and make it known across the world.”（王女士表示，她将继续从事这项工作，并将其推向世界。）可知，王女士是有创造力且有雄心壮志的，故选B项。
C
A colourful material made from wood cools down even when under direct sunlight, meaning it could be used to decorate the outside of buildings while lowering their internal temperature without the need for air conditioning.
Most materials warm up when exposed to sunlight because they absorb a combination of light. But some have a cooling effect because they reflect these wavelengths instead and on top of that also give off some of the warmth within the material through the atmosphere into space.
Adding colors to such a material normally increases the amount of light it absorbs, but Silvia Vignolini at the University of Cambridge and her colleagues have now found a way to make versions in red, green or blue that have a cooling effect and the key ingredient comes from wood, in the form of two types of cellulose (纤维素).
The chemicals in cellulose are particularly good for giving off the right kind of light to have a cooling effect, while cellulose nanocrystals (纳米晶体)—which can be got from sources such as wood or cotton—produce different colors. This effect is similar to how soap bubbles show colors on their surface by spreading different wavelengths of light in different directions.
Vignolini and her colleagues combined these features by layering the nanocrystals on top of a highly reflective sheet (层) made from a kind of cellulose.
By adjusting the arrangement of the nanocrystals, they produced versions of this material in red, green and blue, and found they were on average 3℃ cooler than the surrounding temperature in daylight.
This early version is promising, but the coloured layer is sensitive to environmental effects like weather, says Vignolini, so more work is needed to make it a practical decoration. “Going from here to an application on a wall or on a device, you would need to have it stable enough,” she says.
28. Why do most materials warm up when exposed to sunlight?
A. They take in wavelengths. B. They reflect heat in the air.
C. They have a cooling effect. D. They spread the warmth inside.
29. Why are soap bubbles mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To prove soap bubbles can spread wavelengths.
B. To measure the amount of chemicals in cellulose.
C. To stress the importance of cellulose nanocrystals.
D. To explain how cellulose nanocrystals show colors.
30. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Where the researchers placed the nanocrystals.
B. What colors the new material showed in daylight.
C. How the early version of the material was produced.
D. Why the material was cooler than the surrounding air.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Discoveries Replace Air Conditioning Soon
B. Colored Layers Make a Practical Decoration
C. Material from Wood Helps Keep Buildings Cool
D. Chemicals in Cellulose Show Colors in Daylight
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一种由木材制成的彩色材料即使在阳光直射下也能降温，有助于保持建筑物凉爽。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Most materials warm up when exposed to sunlight because they absorb a combination of light.”（大多数材料在暴露于阳光下时会变暖，因为它们会吸收光线的组合。）可知，大多数材料在暴露于阳光下时会变暖，因为它们吸收了波长。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容“The chemicals in cellulose are particularly good for giving off the right kind of light to have a cooling effect, while cellulose nanocrystals (纳米晶体)—which can be got from sources such as wood or cotton—produce different colors. This effect is similar to how soap bubbles show colors on their surface by spreading different wavelengths of light in different directions.”（纤维素中的化学物质特别适合发出合适的光来产生冷却效果，而可以从木材或棉花等来源获得的纤维素纳米晶体会产生不同的颜色。这种效果类似于肥皂泡通过向不同方向传播不同波长的光而在其表面显示颜色。）可知，第四段首先介绍了纤维素纳米晶体会产生不同的颜色，接下来用肥皂泡作为例子，具体说明了纤维素纳米晶体是如何显示颜色的，由此可知，第四段提到肥皂泡是为了解释纤维素纳米晶体是如何显示颜色的。故选D项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段内容“Vignolini and her colleagues combined these features by layering the nanocrystals on top of a highly reflective sheet (层) made from a kind of cellulose.”（Vignolini和她的同事将这些特征结合在一起，将纳米晶体层叠在一种纤维素制成的高反射片上。）可知，材料的早期版本是通过将纳米晶体层叠在一种纤维素制成的高反射片上制作而成的，由此可知，第五段的主要讲的是材料的早期版本是如何制作的。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读文章，结合第一段内容“A colourful material made from wood cools down even when under direct sunlight, meaning it could be used to decorate the outside of buildings while lowering their internal temperature without the need for air conditioning.”（一种由木材制成的彩色材料即使在阳光直射下也能降温，这意味着它可以用来装饰建筑物的外部，同时降低建筑物的内部温度，而不需要空调。）可知，本文主要介绍了一种由木材制成的彩色材料即使在阳光直射下也能降温，有助于保持建筑物凉爽，“Material from Wood Helps Keep Buildings Cool”意为“木材材料有助于保持建筑物凉爽”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。
D
In spring, Yatir, a human-made forest planted in the 1960s by JNF, a non-profit land development agency, on the northwest edge of the Negev Desert, bursts with new life. Pink and yellow wildflowers carpet the forest floor; camels, horses, foxes, rabbits, and snakes all survive here.
The trees are neither watered nor fertilized (施肥), and yet somehow the forest has survived for almost 60 years. “Yatir Forest proves that we can combat desertification, and heal the wounded earth,” the JNF website says. “For us, Yatir is a laboratory where we study the forest’s effect on climate,” says Rotenberg, who joined the project in 2000. “What we learn now about Yatir will be serving a warmer, dryer world in many regions.”
Fifteen years’ worth of measurements in Yatir, beginning in 2001, do show that the forest takes up a surprising amount of carbon — as much as forests in more humid areas. Semi-dry shrub (灌木丛) and grasslands cover nearly a fifth of the planet’s land; if they all were planted with trees, the Yatir results suggest, they might absorb around 10 percent of current fossil fuel emissions.
Not everyone is happy about that. The SPNI, for example, opposes further planting of trees in naturally unforested open spaces such as grasslands and shrublands. In a 2019 report, the SPNI claims that afforestation in sensitive ecosystems has a destructive impact on this area’s unique biodiversity. “I love trees,” says Alon Rothschild, head of biodiversity policy at the SPNI, “but you don’t have to stick them in every place.”
Planting forests in such places excludes native species that are adapted to shrubland, he says, including endangered ground-nesting birds which need open landscapes to dive on prey (猎物). The heavy machines and chemicals used in tree-planting can also damage fragile dryland soils, which provide food for insects and birds.
32. What do we know about Yatir in the first two paragraphs?
A. It needs special care from humans.
B. It is useful only in warmer dryer regions.
C. It barely survives in the harsh environment.
D. It inspires people to cope with desertification.
33. What is Rotenberg’s attitude towards Yatir?
A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving.
34. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The Yatir results. B. The Yatir forest.
C. Shrub and grasslands. D. The planet’s land.
35. Why is Alon Rothschild against planting forests in those areas?
A. It has a negative impact on the ecosystem.
B. He doesn’t want to see trees everywhere.
C. It uses heavy machines and chemicals.
D. It reduces food for insects and birds.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人造的亚蒂尔森林的生态影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由文第二段第二句“Yatir Forest proves that we can combat desertification, and heal the wounded earth”（亚蒂尔森林证明了我们可以防治荒漠化，治愈受伤的地球）可知，亚蒂尔可以启发人们应对沙漠化，故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。由文第二段第三句“For us, Yatir is a laboratory where we study the forest’s effect on climate,” says Rotenberg.”（对我们来说，亚蒂尔是一个实验室，我们在这里研究森林对气候的影响，”Rotenberg说。）可知，Rotenberg对亚蒂尔是赞同的，持支持态度，故选B项。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。由文第三段“Semi-dry shrub (灌木丛) and grasslands cover nearly a fifth of the planet’s land; if they all were planted with trees, the Yatir results suggest, they might absorb around 10 percent of current fossil fuel emissions.”（半干灌木丛和草原覆盖了地球近五分之一的土地；Yatir的研究结果表明，如果它们都和树种在一起，它们可能会吸收目前约10%的化石燃料排放）可知，此处的they指代的是灌木丛和草原，故选C项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。由文第四段第二句“In a 2019 report, the SPNI claims that afforestation in sensitive ecosystems has a destructive impact on this area’s unique biodiversity”（在2019年的一份报告中，SPNI声称，在敏感生态系统中植树造林对该地区独特的生物多样性产生了破坏性影响）可知，Alon Rothschild反对的原因是对生态系统的负面影响，故选A项。

Since I was little, I’ve been larger than other girl. I hated a way I looked. My anxiety drives me to try every means to lose weight, dieting and weight-loss pills including. This only brought me pain and poor health. Everything changed the moment when I came across the story a plus-size model, Tess Holliday. Although she’s larger than most other models, she has the confidence to be her. Her story has changed my ideas about that it means to be beautiful. My health, mentally and physical, is the most important thing. Isn’t it better that I’m large and happy, instead of skinny and healthy?
【答案】1.girl→girls
2. a→the
3. drives→drove
4. including→included
5.删掉when
6. story后加上of
7. her→herself
8. that→what
9.mentally→mental
10. healthy→unhealthy
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。介绍了我不满意自己的长相，但当看到一个大码模特泰丝·霍利迪的故事后，变得自信又快乐。
【详解】1.考查名词的数。句意：从我小的时候起，我就比其他女孩大。根据“larger than other girl”可知，我在和其他女孩进行比较。故将girl改为girls。
2.考查定冠词。句意：我讨厌自己的长相。分析句子“I hated a way I looked.”可知，定语从句“I looked”是用来修饰way，应该是特指，要用定冠词。故将a改为the。
3.考查时态。句意：我的焦虑驱使我想尽一切办法减肥，包括节食和减肥药。文章是谈论过去的经历，应该用一般过去时。故将drives改为drove。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：我的焦虑驱使我想尽一切办法减肥，包括节食和减肥药。根据“dieting and weight-loss pills including”可知，weight-loss pills和动词include是被动关系，应该用过去分词included作后置定语。故将including改为included。
5.考查状语从句。句意：当我看到一个大码模特泰丝·霍利迪的故事时，一切都变了。the moment引导时间状语从句，意思是“一……就……”，when在这里多余。故删掉when。
6.考查名词所有格。句意：当我看到一个大码模特泰丝·霍利迪的故事时，一切都变了。根据“came across the story a plus-size model”可知，大码模特泰丝·霍利迪的故事，story后缺少表所属关系的of。故story后加上of 。
7.考查反身代词。句意：虽然她比大多数模特都要高大，但她有自信做自己。“成为自己”是to be oneself。用反身代词而不是宾格代词。故将her改为herself。
8.考查宾语从句。句意：她的故事改变了我对美丽的看法。分析句子结构“Her story has changed my ideas about that it means to be beautiful.”可知，介词about之后的宾语从句it means to be beautiful缺少宾语，所以用what引导而不是用that。故将that改为what。
9.考查形容词。句意：我的身心健康是最重要的。“身心健康”，要用形容词修饰名词health。故将mentally改为mental。
10.考查反义词。句意：与其说我又瘦又不健康，不如说我又大又快乐？根据“instead of skinny and healthy”可知，此处表示“又瘦又不健康”，所以要把healthy改成unhealthy。故将healthy改为unhealthy。

Many artists draw with pens and brushes, but few “paint” with knives. Wang Jing, a woman from Shenyang city in northeast China’s Liaoning Province, has been engaged in this art form for 27 years.
In 1995, Wang was inspired by an accidental cut by a knife on a piece of red paper, which left a white line, and believed that she may have created something out of the ordinary. Using knives and paper, she then completed a painting of a pair of peacocks that later became a source of motivation for her 27-year endeavor.
Unlike traditional paintings, onto which colors are “added”, “knife painting” requires the painter to use blades (刀锋) to take away colors on specially made coated paper. “Knife painters” apply varied pressure on the paper in different directions to create different colors and tones. “Painting on paper with knives is a delicate art and each line in the painting is as thin as a hair,” said Wang, adding that once the marks are left on the paper, they cannot be covered, so it requires the painter to be completely absorbed in the work.
The novel art form was known to few people just after Wang created it. Even Wang herself was not expecting to make it something big at the beginning. But thanks to her huge enthusiasm for the art form, she has persisted with it for the past 27 years. So far, she has completed hundreds of paintings about auspicious Chinese culture, figures, landscape, flowers and birds, of which her favorite is a 2.8-meter-long painting that depicts 20 lifelike egrets (白鹭). Wang said she will continue working in the craft and make it known across the world.
24. What motivated Wang in her 27-year devotion to knife painting?
A. The red paper. B. The white line.
C. The accidental cut. D. The painting of peacocks.
25. What can be learned about knife painting from Paragraph 3?
A. It takes away colors. B. It needs painters’ focus.
C. It creates thin marks. D. It applies varied pressure.
26. What does the underlined word “novel” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. Original. B. Valuable. C. Traditional. D. Complex.
27. Which of the following can best describe Wang?
A. Optimistic and caring. B. Creative and ambitious.
C. Enthusiastic and humble. D. Persistent and aggressive.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一位有创造力且有雄心壮志的用刀作画的女艺术家。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Using knives and paper, she then completed a painting of a pair of peacocks that later became a source of motivation for her 27-year endeavor.”（然后，她用刀和纸完成了一幅孔雀画，这幅画后来成为她27年努力的动力来源。）可知，她的动力来源是一副孔雀画，故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段最后一句““Painting on paper with knives is a delicate art and each line in the painting is as thin as a hair,”said Wang, adding that once the marks are left on the paper, they cannot be covered, so it requires the painter to be completely absorbed in the work.”（“用刀在纸上作画是一门精致的艺术，画中的每一条线都像头发一样细，”王说，并补充说，一旦在纸上留下痕迹，就无法覆盖，因此需要画家完全专注于作品。）可知，用刀作画需要极高的专注度，故选B项。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。由第四段第一句“The novel art form was known to few people just after Wang created it.”（这种___的艺术形式在王创作之后就很少有人知道了。），根据created“创造”以及“很少有人知道”可知，这种艺术形式是新创造的，自然是新颖的，original意为“新颖的、独创的”，故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。由上题提到的王女士创造了这种艺术形式以及文末段最后一句“Wang said she will continue working in the craft and make it known across the world.”（王女士表示，她将继续从事这项工作，并将其推向世界。）可知，王女士是有创造力且有雄心壮志的，故选B项。
C
A colourful material made from wood cools down even when under direct sunlight, meaning it could be used to decorate the outside of buildings while lowering their internal temperature without the need for air conditioning.
Most materials warm up when exposed to sunlight because they absorb a combination of light. But some have a cooling effect because they reflect these wavelengths instead and on top of that also give off some of the warmth within the material through the atmosphere into space.
Adding colors to such a material normally increases the amount of light it absorbs, but Silvia Vignolini at the University of Cambridge and her colleagues have now found a way to make versions in red, green or blue that have a cooling effect and the key ingredient comes from wood, in the form of two types of cellulose (纤维素).
The chemicals in cellulose are particularly good for giving off the right kind of light to have a cooling effect, while cellulose nanocrystals (纳米晶体)—which can be got from sources such as wood or cotton—produce different colors. This effect is similar to how soap bubbles show colors on their surface by spreading different wavelengths of light in different directions.
Vignolini and her colleagues combined these features by layering the nanocrystals on top of a highly reflective sheet (层) made from a kind of cellulose.
By adjusting the arrangement of the nanocrystals, they produced versions of this material in red, green and blue, and found they were on average 3℃ cooler than the surrounding temperature in daylight.
This early version is promising, but the coloured layer is sensitive to environmental effects like weather, says Vignolini, so more work is needed to make it a practical decoration. “Going from here to an application on a wall or on a device, you would need to have it stable enough,” she says.
28. Why do most materials warm up when exposed to sunlight?
A. They take in wavelengths. B. They reflect heat in the air.
C. They have a cooling effect. D. They spread the warmth inside.
29. Why are soap bubbles mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To prove soap bubbles can spread wavelengths.
B. To measure the amount of chemicals in cellulose.
C. To stress the importance of cellulose nanocrystals.
D. To explain how cellulose nanocrystals show colors.
30. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Where the researchers placed the nanocrystals.
B. What colors the new material showed in daylight.
C. How the early version of the material was produced.
D. Why the material was cooler than the surrounding air.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Discoveries Replace Air Conditioning Soon
B. Colored Layers Make a Practical Decoration
C. Material from Wood Helps Keep Buildings Cool
D. Chemicals in Cellulose Show Colors in Daylight
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一种由木材制成的彩色材料即使在阳光直射下也能降温，有助于保持建筑物凉爽。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Most materials warm up when exposed to sunlight because they absorb a combination of light.”（大多数材料在暴露于阳光下时会变暖，因为它们会吸收光线的组合。）可知，大多数材料在暴露于阳光下时会变暖，因为它们吸收了波长。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容“The chemicals in cellulose are particularly good for giving off the right kind of light to have a cooling effect, while cellulose nanocrystals (纳米晶体)—which can be got from sources such as wood or cotton—produce different colors. This effect is similar to how soap bubbles show colors on their surface by spreading different wavelengths of light in different directions.”（纤维素中的化学物质特别适合发出合适的光来产生冷却效果，而可以从木材或棉花等来源获得的纤维素纳米晶体会产生不同的颜色。这种效果类似于肥皂泡通过向不同方向传播不同波长的光而在其表面显示颜色。）可知，第四段首先介绍了纤维素纳米晶体会产生不同的颜色，接下来用肥皂泡作为例子，具体说明了纤维素纳米晶体是如何显示颜色的，由此可知，第四段提到肥皂泡是为了解释纤维素纳米晶体是如何显示颜色的。故选D项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段内容“Vignolini and her colleagues combined these features by layering the nanocrystals on top of a highly reflective sheet (层) made from a kind of cellulose.”（Vignolini和她的同事将这些特征结合在一起，将纳米晶体层叠在一种纤维素制成的高反射片上。）可知，材料的早期版本是通过将纳米晶体层叠在一种纤维素制成的高反射片上制作而成的，由此可知，第五段的主要讲的是材料的早期版本是如何制作的。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读文章，结合第一段内容“A colourful material made from wood cools down even when under direct sunlight, meaning it could be used to decorate the outside of buildings while lowering their internal temperature without the need for air conditioning.”（一种由木材制成的彩色材料即使在阳光直射下也能降温，这意味着它可以用来装饰建筑物的外部，同时降低建筑物的内部温度，而不需要空调。）可知，本文主要介绍了一种由木材制成的彩色材料即使在阳光直射下也能降温，有助于保持建筑物凉爽，“Material from Wood Helps Keep Buildings Cool”意为“木材材料有助于保持建筑物凉爽”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。
D
In spring, Yatir, a human-made forest planted in the 1960s by JNF, a non-profit land development agency, on the northwest edge of the Negev Desert, bursts with new life. Pink and yellow wildflowers carpet the forest floor; camels, horses, foxes, rabbits, and snakes all survive here.
The trees are neither watered nor fertilized (施肥), and yet somehow the forest has survived for almost 60 years. “Yatir Forest proves that we can combat desertification, and heal the wounded earth,” the JNF website says. “For us, Yatir is a laboratory where we study the forest’s effect on climate,” says Rotenberg, who joined the project in 2000. “What we learn now about Yatir will be serving a warmer, dryer world in many regions.”
Fifteen years’ worth of measurements in Yatir, beginning in 2001, do show that the forest takes up a surprising amount of carbon — as much as forests in more humid areas. Semi-dry shrub (灌木丛) and grasslands cover nearly a fifth of the planet’s land; if they all were planted with trees, the Yatir results suggest, they might absorb around 10 percent of current fossil fuel emissions.
Not everyone is happy about that. The SPNI, for example, opposes further planting of trees in naturally unforested open spaces such as grasslands and shrublands. In a 2019 report, the SPNI claims that afforestation in sensitive ecosystems has a destructive impact on this area’s unique biodiversity. “I love trees,” says Alon Rothschild, head of biodiversity policy at the SPNI, “but you don’t have to stick them in every place.”
Planting forests in such places excludes native species that are adapted to shrubland, he says, including endangered ground-nesting birds which need open landscapes to dive on prey (猎物). The heavy machines and chemicals used in tree-planting can also damage fragile dryland soils, which provide food for insects and birds.
32. What do we know about Yatir in the first two paragraphs?
A. It needs special care from humans.
B. It is useful only in warmer dryer regions.
C. It barely survives in the harsh environment.
D. It inspires people to cope with desertification.
33. What is Rotenberg’s attitude towards Yatir?
A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving.
34. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The Yatir results. B. The Yatir forest.
C. Shrub and grasslands. D. The planet’s land.
35. Why is Alon Rothschild against planting forests in those areas?
A. It has a negative impact on the ecosystem.
B. He doesn’t want to see trees everywhere.
C. It uses heavy machines and chemicals.
D. It reduces food for insects and birds.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人造的亚蒂尔森林的生态影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由文第二段第二句“Yatir Forest proves that we can combat desertification, and heal the wounded earth”（亚蒂尔森林证明了我们可以防治荒漠化，治愈受伤的地球）可知，亚蒂尔可以启发人们应对沙漠化，故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。由文第二段第三句“For us, Yatir is a laboratory where we study the forest’s effect on climate,” says Rotenberg.”（对我们来说，亚蒂尔是一个实验室，我们在这里研究森林对气候的影响，”Rotenberg说。）可知，Rotenberg对亚蒂尔是赞同的，持支持态度，故选B项。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。由文第三段“Semi-dry shrub (灌木丛) and grasslands cover nearly a fifth of the planet’s land; if they all were planted with trees, the Yatir results suggest, they might absorb around 10 percent of current fossil fuel emissions.”（半干灌木丛和草原覆盖了地球近五分之一的土地；Yatir的研究结果表明，如果它们都和树种在一起，它们可能会吸收目前约10%的化石燃料排放）可知，此处的they指代的是灌木丛和草原，故选C项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。由文第四段第二句“In a 2019 report, the SPNI claims that afforestation in sensitive ecosystems has a destructive impact on this area’s unique biodiversity”（在2019年的一份报告中，SPNI声称，在敏感生态系统中植树造林对该地区独特的生物多样性产生了破坏性影响）可知，Alon Rothschild反对的原因是对生态系统的负面影响，故选A项。

This only brought me pain and poor health. Everything changed the moment when I came across the story a plus-size model, Tess Holliday. Although she’s larger than most other models, she has the confidence to be her. Her story has changed my ideas about that it means to be beautiful. My health, mentally and physical, is the most important thing. Isn’t it better that I’m large and happy, instead of skinny and healthy?
【答案】1.girl→girls
2. a→the
3. drives→drove
4. including→included
5.删掉when
6. story后加上of
7. her→herself
8. that→what

10. healthy→unhealthy
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。介绍了我不满意自己的长相，但当看到一个大码模特泰丝·霍利迪的故事后，变得自信又快乐。
【详解】1.考查名词的数。句意：从我小的时候起，我就比其他女孩大。根据“larger than other girl”可知，我在和其他女孩进行比较。故将girl改为girls。
2.考查定冠词。句意：我讨厌自己的长相。分析句子“I hated a way I looked.”可知，定语从句“I looked”是用来修饰way，应该是特指，要用定冠词。故将a改为the。
3.考查时态。句意：我的焦虑驱使我想尽一切办法减肥，包括节食和减肥药。文章是谈论过去的经历，应该用一般过去时。故将drives改为drove。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：我的焦虑驱使我想尽一切办法减肥，包括节食和减肥药。根据“dieting and weight-loss pills including”可知，weight-loss pills和动词include是被动关系，应该用过去分词included作后置定语。故将including改为included。
5.考查状语从句。句意：当我看到一个大码模特泰丝·霍利迪的故事时，一切都变了。the moment引导时间状语从句，意思是“一……就……”，when在这里多余。故删掉when。
6.考查名词所有格。句意：当我看到一个大码模特泰丝·霍利迪的故事时，一切都变了。根据“came across the story a plus-size model”可知，大码模特泰丝·霍利迪的故事，story后缺少表所属关系的of。故story后加上of 。
7.考查反身代词。句意：虽然她比大多数模特都要高大，但她有自信做自己。“成为自己”是to be oneself。用反身代词而不是宾格代词。故将her改为herself。
8.考查宾语从句。句意：她的故事改变了我对美丽的看法。分析句子结构“Her story has changed my ideas about that it means to be beautiful.”可知，介词about之后的宾语从句it means to be beautiful缺少宾语，所以用what引导而不是用that。故将that改为what。
9.考查形容词。句意：我的身心健康是最重要的。“身心健康”，要用形容词修饰名词health。故将mentally改为mental。
10.考查反义词。句意：与其说我又瘦又不健康，不如说我又大又快乐？根据“instead of skinny and healthy”可知，此处表示“又瘦又不健康”，所以要把healthy改成unhealthy。故将healthy改为unhealthy。
