Malavath Poorna,a 13-year-old girl from India，is the daughter of a poor farm laborer who earns barely $600 annually. Belonging to the lowest Indian social class,Poorna had determined to make a mark and be a source of inspiration to other backward people belonging to her community. Therefore, with the encouragement from her parents，Poorna participated in a training program meant for outdoor activities.
While preparing for her Everest climb，Poorna took training in the mountains of Darjeeling and Ladakh. At the end of the strict training sessions，she and another boy of 18 called Anand were the only two selected to climb Everest because they showed “a higher degree of toughness and endurance”.
Malavath Poorna proved that the difference between the impossible and the possible lies in whether a person is strong-willed or not. On 25th of May 2014，she along with 16-year-old Anand Kumar，ascended(登上) the 29，029-foot peak(山峰) and created history by becoming the world’s youngest woman to ascend Mount Everest，the highest peak in the world.
Three days after she arrived at the Everest base camp on 15 April，2014，sixteen local people got killed by a deadly avalanche(雪崩) on the Nepalese side. However，this could not stop Poorna from her peak. Moreover， Poorna’s accomplishment is even more extraordinary since she climbed the peak from the more difficult Tibetan side instead of taking the easier Nepalese side which most climbers chose. Her ascent has been called a rare achievement by Mingma Sherpa，a Nepalese guide who has climbed all fourteen of the world’s peaks over 8，000 meters.
4. Why did Malavath Poorna take part in a training program?
A. Her parents forced her to survive on her own.
B. She planned to earn a lot of money by herself.
C. People in some rich communities motivated her.
D. She wanted to be a role model in her community
5. What played the key role in Malavath Poorna’s success?
A. Luck. B. Education. C. Determination. D. Friendship
6. What makes Malavath Poorna’s climb especially extraordinary?
A Her intention to assist her fellow climbers.
B. Her good cooperation with her team member.
C. Her rescuing local people in a natural disaster.
D. Her reaching the peak from a more challenging side.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. A famous climber’s struggle. B. A poor girl’s inspirational story.
C. A role model’s life challenges. D. A dreamer’s way to be wealthy.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B

Belonging to the lowest Indian social class，Poorna had determined to make a mark and be a source of inspiration to other backward people belonging to her community. Therefore，with the encouragement from her parents，Poorna participated in a training program meant for outdoor activities.(来自印度的13岁女孩 Malavath Poorna是一个贫穷的农场工人的女儿，年收入只有600美元。普尔娜是印度社会最底层的人，她决心做出成绩，并成为她所在社区其他落后人群的灵感源泉。因此，在父母的鼓励下，普尔娜参加了一个旨在户外活动的培训项目。)”可知，Malavath Poorna想成为穷人的行为榜样，所以她参加了一个训练项目。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Belonging to the lowest Indian social class，Poorna had determined to make a mark and be a source of inspiration to other backward people belonging to her community.(Poorna是印度社会最底层的人，她决心做出成绩，并成为她所在社区其他落后人群的灵感源泉)”，第三段第一句“Malavath Poorna proved that the difference between the impossible and the possible lies in whether a person is strong-willed or not.(Malavath Poorna证明了不可能和可能的区别在于一个人是否意志坚强。)”和最后一段第二句“However，this could not stop Poorna from her peak. (然而，这并不能阻止Poorna的巅峰。)”可推断，Malavath Poorna成功的关键是“决心”。故选C项。

(此外，Poorna的成就更加非凡，因为她从更困难的西藏一侧爬上山顶，而不是大多数登山者选择的更容易的尼泊尔一侧。)”可知，Malavath Poorna的登峰行为尤为与众不同是因为她选择从更艰难的一侧登峰。故选D项。

Overspending can be defined as spending beyond one’s means, and is not rarely seen nowadays. According to a recent report, more than one-fourth of adults surveyed in 2020 had one or more bills that they were unable to pay in full that month.
While every individual’s spending habits are unique to their circumstances, a few common potential issues tend to be responsible for overspending.
Lifestyle creep, a financial trap, where you spend more money as you make more money, for example, often accounts for unrecognized overspending. Individuals that lack a decision-making process for making purchases can also find it difficult to control their spending.
Media and advertisements can also lead to overspending. Marketing strategies aim to create a feeling of scarcity (稀少) for consumers with phrases like “almost sold out” or “two tickets remaining” when they are making online purchases. Emails from favorite sellers can give consumers the impression that they are saving money by taking advantage of a sale, and roadside billboards can lead individuals to make impulsive (冲动的) purchases.
Social pressures to enjoy dinners out and vacations with family and friends may be a push for younger people, who see others enjoying these activities through social media platforms like Instagram. “People think spending makes you happy,” Elizabeth Dunn, professor at the University of British Columbia and chief science officer at Happy Money, says. “But for many people, it’s these values of being true to yourself that make you happy.”
Dunn notes that, “Failures in self-control in the finance can cause dire consequences. Financial stress, for example, has been linked to physical health struggles, problems in close relationships,and stress in retirement.”
“Dealing with overspending should start in bite - size pieces. Small and manageable changes over time are more likely to stick to in the long run. Instead of relying on willpower, setting specific goals and building a foundation with a budget is an effective way.” adds Dunn.
8. Why is a recent report mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To explain what overspending is.
B. To stress the harm of overspending.
C. To tell a way to stop overspending.
D. To show overspending is common.
9. What do paragraphs 3~5 mainly talk about?
A. Possible causes of overspending.
B. Typical unhealthy spending habits.
C. Some unavoidable financial traps
D. Issues resulting from overspending.
10. What does the underlined word “dire” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Pleasant. B. Controllable. C. Terrible. D. Acceptable.
11. What is Elizabeth Dunn’s advice on overcoming overspending?
A. Making a reasonable budget.
B. Relying on personal willpower.
C. Setting grand and general goals.
D. Starting changing on the whole.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了导致过度消费的几个因素以及如何制止这一行为的方法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题，根据第一段“and is not rarely seen nowadays. According to a recent report, more than one-fourth of adults surveyed in 2020 had one or more bills that they were unable to pay in full that month.(如今也不少见。根据最近的一份报告，在2020年接受调查的成年人中，超过四分之一的人有一笔或多笔账单无法在当月全额支付)”推知，第一段提到的报道是为了说明过度消费很常见。故选D。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题，根据第三至第五段的内容及第二段的“a few common potential issues tend to be responsible for overspending.(一些常见的潜在问题往往是过度消费的原因)”和第四段首句“Media and advertisements can also lead to overspending. (媒体和广告也可能导过度消费)”可知，这三段主要是关于导致过度消费的原因。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题，根据画线词后“Financial stress, for example, has been linked to physical health struggles, problems in close relationships,and stress in retirement.(例如，经济压力与身体健康问题、亲密关系问题和退休压力有关)”猜测，画线词的所在句子意为“在财务方面缺乏自制力可能会造成可怕的后果”，因此dire意为“可怕的”，与terrible的意思最为接近。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题，根据最后一段Elizabeth Dunn的话“Instead of relying on willpower, setting specific goals and building a foundation with a budget is an effective way.(与其依靠意志力，不如制定具体目标并用预算建立基础，这是一种有效的方法)”可知，Elizabeth Dunn建议可以通过制定合理的预算克服过度消费。故选A。
D
At first glance, it seems that giant pandas (大熊猫) might not be good at hide- and-seek. With their black and white coats,they appear to have a hard time matching their backgrounds and avoiding detection by their enemies. But a new study finds that the unique markings, in fact, provide effective camouflage (伪装) and help them disappear into their surroundings. Scientists have long wondered what function the black-and-white coloring plays.
For their study, researchers analyzed photos of giant pandas in their natural habitats. “We’ve found that the animals are very well camouflaged because they use habitats with dark and lighting conditions, and also snow during some time of the year,” study author Tim Caro of the University of Bristol and the University of California, Davis, tells Treehugger.
They found that the black patches (块) of fur match primarily shade and dark tree trunks. They also match the ground，rocks and leaves. The white fur patches match snow, rocks, and waxy, bright leaves. Sometimes pandas also have patches of pale brown fur and those match rocks, ground and shady background areas.
The researchers also explored a type of environmental camouflage known as disruptive coloration. That’s when highly contrasting patterns or very visible boundaries on an animal break up its body outline. They found that the black and white borders on the panda’s coat make it less noticeable, particularly from farther away.
It might seem a bit confusing because giant pandas are very easy to spot at a zoo, for instance. But the environment and the viewer make a difference.
“We modelled their coloration through enemies’ eyes as well as how humans see them so we are sure of the results.” Caro says.
“It seems that giant pandas appear easily noticeable to us because of short viewing distances and unnatural backgrounds, when we see them, either in photographs or at the zoo,it is almost always from close up, and often against a backdrop that doesn’t reflect their natural habitats,” says author Nick Scott-Samuel of the University of Bristol. “From a more realistic enemy’s view, the giant panda is actually rather well camouflaged.”
12. What is the general first impression of giant pandas?
A. They like staying away from humans.
B. They are really good at hide-and-seek.
C. They match the backgrounds very well.
D. They can be easily detected by enemies
13. What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Tree trunks. B. Pale brown pandas.
C. Black fur patches. D. Shady background areas
14. What can we learn about giant pandas from Nick Scott-Samuel’s words?
A. They are less noticeable in natural environments.
B. They can be easily noticed even from farther away.
C. They often disappear into backgrounds in a zoo.
D. They can not camouflage from an enemy’s view.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A Giant Pandas Hide Themselves From Tourists
B. Giant Pandas Are Actually Good at Camouflaging
C. The Black-and-white Coloring Proves Appealing
D. You Are More Likely to Spot Giant Pandas in Nature
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，研究表明，大熊猫实际上很擅长在自然环境中伪装，从而避免被敌人发现。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“At first glance, it seems that giant pandas (大熊猫) might not be good at hide- and-seek. With their black and white coats, they appear to have a hard time matching their backgrounds and avoiding detection by their enemies.(乍一看，大熊猫似乎不擅长捉迷藏。由于它们的黑色和白色外套，它们似乎很难与背景相匹配，避免被敌人发现)”可知，对大熊猫的第一印象是它们很容易被敌人发现。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“They found that the black patches of fur match primarily shade and dark tree trunks. hey also match the ground, rocks and leaves.(他们发现，皮毛的黑色斑块主要与阴影和深色树干相匹配。它们还与地面、岩石和树叶相匹配) ”可知，画线词指代上文提到的“黑色斑块”。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句““It seems that giant pandas appear easily noticeable to us because of short viewing distances and unnatural backgrounds, when we see them, either in photographs or at the zoo,it is almost always from close up, and often against a backdrop that doesn’t reflect their natural habitats,” says author Nick Scott-Samuel of the University of Bristol.(布里斯托尔大学的作家尼克·斯科特-塞缪尔说：“由于近景和不自然的背景，我们似乎很容易注意到大熊猫。当我们在照片或动物园看到它们时，几乎都是近距离观察，而且背景往往与它们的自然栖息地不符。”)”可推断，大熊猫在自然环境中是不太容易被发现的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段第三句“ But a new study finds that the unique markings, in fact, provide effective camouflage (伪装) and help them disappear into their surroundings. (但一项新的研究发现，这些独特的标记实际上提供了有效的伪装，并帮助它们消失在周围环境中)”可知，本文主要介绍了一个研究发现大熊猫实际上很擅长在自然环境中伪装。故选B项。

【36题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：2021年2月14日，奥斯汀居民Ryan Sivley在去附近商店购买一些商品的途中，注意到许多车辆被困在结冰的路边。分析句子结构可知，该空引导的是一个状语从句，此处表示“在那时突然”，故此处用连接副词 when引导该从句。故填when。
【37题详解】
考查谓语动词的时态和语态。句意：有些人被困在雪堆和沟渠中。根据空前一句中的谓语动词was可知，此处叙述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时，又因为主语Some people与动词stick存在动宾关系，故此处用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were stuck。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：幸运的是，Sivley拥有一辆四轮驱动的汽车，它配备了钩子、链条和回收拖带，能够牵引超过40000磅。此处用所给形容词的副词修饰整个句子，作状语，首字母大写。故填Fortunately。

考查非谓语动词。句意：看到434辆车时，我不再数了。本句有谓语stopped，故用非谓语动词，stop doing sth.意为“停止做某事”，为固定用法，故用动名词作宾语。故填counting。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：那么多人仍然被困，他们看起来绝望了。根据句意可知，此处指“人们感到绝望”，故用所给名词的形容词 hopeless，作表语。故填hopeless。
【43题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：事实上，对大多数人来说已经足够的东西，对 Sivley说只是一个开始。分析句子结构可知，该空引导的是一个主语从句，从句缺少主语，指事情，故此处用连接代同what。故填what。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：当他慷慨解囊的消息传开后，其他卡车车主也伸出了援手，Sivley很快就管理起了一个救援网络。根据空前的形容词性物主代词his可知，此处用所给形容词的名词，作宾语。故填generosity。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：虽然有些人帮他付油钱，但西弗利从来没有要求补偿他所有的辛苦工作！本句有谓语asked，故用非谓语动词；ask to do意为“要求做某事”，又因为 Sivley与 compensate存在逻辑上的动宾关系，故此处用不定式的被动形式，作宾语。 故填 to be compensated。

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。
One day, father, mother and I were on our way to Hubble's store on the Main Street to get those things needed for the upcoming Christmas. As we passed Eaton's department store, we stopped as usual to do a bit of window shopping.
“What a silly dress!” mother suddenly pointed to a dress in the fancy window. “Who would need such a big red dress?”
Then, totally out of character, father went to mother and started dancing on the sidewalk as if they were at a dancing party.
“Dear, it is for dancing parties,” father laughed. “I hope I could buy it for you as a Christmas gift.”
“Oh, stop that!” she ordered and her cheeks became redder than usual. Mother, of all people, was not one to spend money on things that were not practical. “There are things we need more than this.”
As we continued down the street, mother turned back many times. “My goodness! They should show something a person really needs!”
But father liked buying something that mother might not really need, whenever the budget allowed. Of course, he'd get a scolding, but it was all done with the best intention.
Like the time he brought home the electric stove years ago. In our old kitchen, mother was still cooking year-round on a wooden stove. In summer, the kitchen would be so hot that even the houseflies wouldn't come inside. One day, Dad surprised her with a fancy new electric stove. She protested, saying that the wooden stove cooked just fine, that the electric stove was too dear and that it would cost too much to run it. Since then she only used it on special occasions.
On Christmas Eve, we drove past the store again and found that the big red dress was gone!
“Who’d be fool enough to buy such a big red dress?” mother whispered in disbelief as we drove away.
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。
I quickly stole a look at Dad.

I’ll never forget what I saw the next morning.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I quickly stole a look at Dad. He touched me with his elbow and shook his head. But the excitement in his eyes confirmed his secret. Suddenly my heart was filled with more love for my father than I thought it could hold! But I casually turned around and caught mother still shaking her head in disbelief. She lowered the window and had a final look as we rode on up the street. I was almost certain that I detected a disappointment in her eyes.
I’ll never forget what I saw the next morning. I watched as mother opened a large box that read “Eaton’s Big Red” on its lid. With trembling hands she touched the nice material of Big Red. Her face was as bright as the star that shone on our Christmas tree in the corner of the small room. “You shouldn’t have…” was her unsuccessful attempt at scolding Dad.
