Fourteen-year-old Harini Logan won the Scripps National Spelling Bee last Thursday, defeating 12-year-old Vikram Raju in a tiebreaker. It's the first time that the contest has ever been decided by a tie-breaking round of spelling.
A spelling bee is a contest where players take turns spelling words. Though the bee is mainly about spelling, it also focuses on the meaning of the words. During parts of the contest, students were asked to choose the correct meaning of a word.
That caused trouble for Harini. She was asked about the meaning of the word “pullulation”. She said the word described the nesting of birds. The contest organizers had expected the answer to be the “swarming of bees”. Harini was removed from the contest. But soon she was back in- the judges double-checked and learned that Harini's definition was also correct. One by one, the other students spelled a word wrong and got out. Finally, only Harini and Vikram were left.
To make ties much less likely, a “spell-off” was added to the contest in recent years. In the spell-off, Vikram and Harini each took turns trying to spell the words they were asked, but both made blunders. At one point, Harini could have won by spelling the word “drimys” (a kind of plant) correctly. But she missed it.
That put the two into a super tie-breaking event, where they were each given 90 seconds to correctly spell as many words as they could. The New York Times reports that the two spelled so quickly that the judges needed to review the video to see who had won. In 90 seconds, Vikram had spelled 15 words correctly, Harini had 21 correct spellings, making her the new winner.
This was Harini's fourth at the Bee and it's the first time she's made it to the finals. Describing her win, she said, “This is just such a dream!”
24. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the spelling bee?
A. Its significant meaning. B. Its competition content.
C. The importance of spelling. D. Players’ struggle for spelling.
25, What happened to Harini?
A. She failed to enter the final round.
B. She was confident about her answer.
C. Her answer was misjudged at first.
D. She refused to accept the judgement.
26. What does the underlined word “blunders” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Efforts. B. Ways. C. Senses. D. Mistakes.
27. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. A Tie-Breaking Event
B. Scripps National Spelling Bee
C. Teen Wins Spelling Bee in Exciting Tie- Breaker
D. A Girl's First Time to Make Her Dream Come True
C
Sunflowers are huge plants with bright yellow flowers. They have a long history in North America. There is evidence that they were used for food and for medicine by Native Americans beginning around 1000 B. C. The seeds from sunflowers were likely brought to Europe by Spanish explorers around the late 16th century. Over time, they found their way to Eastern Europe. Today, Ukraine is the world's leading producer of the plants. Sunflowers are grown for their seeds and to make oil.
If you start growing sunflowers from seeds, put them in room-temperature water for 2—8 hours before planting to start the growing process. Plant each seed into dirt 2. 5 centimetres deep and 15 to 30 centimetres apart. Plant them after the danger of frost has passed or start indoors three weeks before your last frost date. Keep the soil wet, but not too wet, until the seeds begin to grow.
Sunflower plants can be moved outdoors when the danger of frost has passed in your area. Choose a place outside that will provide the plants with at least 6- 8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
As the plants grow, they will develop long roots that work their way deep into the ground. So, before planting, it is important to loosen the soil. Dig at least one third of a metre down and remove any rocks.
Mixa large amount of compost(堆肥) into the soil where the plant will grow. Compost provides important, lasting nutrients that will help the plants all season long. The sunflowers may not need additional nutrients if they are planted with compost. If compost is not added during the planting process, provide nutrients through a slow release, all-purpose fertilizer(肥料) one or two times during the growing season.
28. What can be known about the sunflower in Paragraph 1?
A. It originated in South America.
B. It was initially used to make oil.
C. It has a history of 3,000 years or so.
D. It was taken to Europe by British explorers.
29. What are sunflower growers advised to do?
A. Keep the seeds in water for 10 hours.
B. Plant seeds 2. 5 centimetres apart.
C. Never put new plants in direct sunlight each day.
D. Plant seeds indoors 21 days before your last frost date.
30. Why is it important to loosen the soil before planting?
A. It is friendly to roots’ growth.
B. It helps to hold water in the soil.
C. It guarantees adequate supplies of air.
D. It is more efficient in keeping temperature.
31. What are Paragraphs 2- 5 mainly about?
A. How to select sunflowers. B. How to grow sunflowers.
C. When to fertilize sunflowers. D. When to move sunflowers.
D
Fashion rental has been on the increase for a few years, similar to trends such as up-cycling and charity shopping. It seems likely to be another pandemic related trend, pushing people to think about fashion consumption and sustainable living—a positive to come out of an isolating two years. Maybe more sustainable way of looking and thinking about fashion is the industry's future.
According to Fashion United, the fashion rental market is “expected to grow more than 10% year-on-year until 2027”. Rental is a positive in the rapidly changing world of fashion. It is not a trend; it is a solution to limiting the unnecessary production and consumption of clothing.
Sue Ingle, owner of Heavenly Hat Hire, says her main customers are “those attending weddings and races”. Discussing the cost of living, she explains how “people are unwilling to pay £200 for a hat they may only wear once”, so paying a percentage of this on a rental is more affordable and therefore more accessible to a wider audience.
Fashion rental is widening its market. Luxury department stores such as Selfridges and Harrods join forces with rental companies to provide designer items on loan. So why go to a smaller business? From purchasing experience, small businesses often have a more personal feel with extra touches, which are not needed but much appreciated. Heavenly Hat Hire invites customers to book an appointment to try on hats. Sue names the hats to give them a more personal feel and loves it when a customer comes in telling her “I don't suit hats and never wear them”, then an hour later leaves happily with a hat in hand.
If the pandemic revealed anything to the fashion industry, it is that no brand, no matter its scale, is completely secure. We should support the companies thinking about environmental impact and making improvements to become more sustainable. Small businesses providing this as well as exceptional services should get all our support.
Fashion rental is around to fill the gap in your wardrobe when necessary. As Sue says, “We all need to buy less and love what we already have a little bit more.”
32. What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 3?
A. The change of fashion.
B. The reason for the rise of fashion rental.
C. The promising future of fashion rental.
D. Rental's accessibility to a wide audience.
33. Why are Selfridges and Harrods mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To prove fashion rental's huge profit.
B. To introduce some famous clothing brands.
C. To show fashion rental gains popularity.
D. To appeal to more stores to join in the trade.
34. What type of smaller businesses should be chosen to cooperate with?
A. Fund-saving. B. Flexible and movable.
C. Fast developing. D. Eco-friendly.
35. What is the author s attitude towards fashion rental?
A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Maybe your days are always busy. Between work, caring for kids and handling the housework, it's hard to find time to relax. When you get into bed, you find yourself picking up your phone and just scrolling(滚屏). 36 This behaviour is called “revenge bedtime procrastination(报复性唾前拖延症)”.
It comes from a phrase that describes the habits of workers who put off sleep to have free activities as a way to make up for long workdays. 37 Not getting enough rest affects the way you will function at work and at school the next day. In the long term, it has harmful effects on health. Here are some ways to break the cycle of bedtime procrastination.
Get out of bed and do something.
Get up and finish that thing for work. Or walk around the house and wash dishes- whatever will settle your mind. 38 Then you could go back to bed and fall asleep just fine.
39
Minimizing how much light gets into the bedroom promotes sleep. Consider setting up blackout curtains(遮光帘) or room-darkening shades. Cooler temperatures can also help sleep better. If you don't want to run the air conditioner or a fan all night, try rethinking what you wear to bed.
Make a bedtime routine and stick to it.
Take a bath, change into pajamas(睡衣) and curl up(蜷曲着坐) with a book before turning out the lights. A bedtime routine helps young children relax before bed. It works just as well for adults. 40
A. But the behaviour comes at a price.
B. Create a good sleep environment.
C. Decorate your room according to your needs.
D. At most times, you will get really sleepy.
E. The more you can create regularity around sleep, the better it's for you.
F. You make every effort to control your own time, but in vain.
G. You stay up past your bedtime, despite being tired and knowing you'd better go to sleep.

I woke up to the sound of the birds singing outside my window and realized that it was the day of the award ceremony. I had won the “Most Valuable Player” award for my school's soccer team and was extremely proud of myself. I rushed to my parents’ room and kept jumping on the bed, asking them to wake up. I said, “You need to take me to school for my prize presentation ceremony!”
My parents got off their bed unwillingly. I went to wash up and took my whitest and straightest uniform to prepare for my ceremony. By the time I was ready, my parents had already prepared a tasty breakfast for me and we set off after breakfast.
While my parents were driving me to school, they told me not to be anxious as it was a very quick process of walking u the stage, collecting the prize and walking down the stage. When we reached the school, my parents wished me all the best and went to their seats to watch the ceremony.
First to be awarded was the Spelling Bee team. They went up on stage and collected an extremely large bee trophy(奖杯). Next was the “Most Valuable Player” award, My parents took out their cameras and got ready to take a video of me. I puffed up my chest(挺胸) and walked up the stairs to the stage.
My heart raced uncontrollably as I went upstairs. I was suddenly feeling nervous. At the top of the stairs, my legs were shaking and I fell on the ground. At that very moment, the audience burst into laughter. My face went red and my mind went blank.

参考答案、提示及评分细则
1~5 BACBA 6~10 CABAB 11~15 BCCAC 16~20 BCACA
[文章大意]本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了在英国五月银行假日周末可以让孩子开心的四个活动。
21.A 细节理解题。根据Climb The O2中的“Reserve your seats before availability as they are limited.”可知，想去攀登O2必须提前买票。
22.C细节理解题。根据Search for a National T rust site 中的“Although its focus may be different by region, the basic role is to preserve historically significant items and areas of natural beauty. ”可知，国家信托的特别之处在于，它是以保护、传承自然、历史古迹为任务的。
23. B推理判断题。根据Explore the soul of Madrid中的“... in celebration of the food, art, and music to be found in both the Spanish and English capitals.”和Go and see a West End show中的“There are impressive performances on at the moment... and other musical dramas.”可知，后两个活动的共同之处是它们都提供音乐表演。
[文章大意]本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一个女孩在“Scripps National Spelling Bee"比赛中，通过打破最后平局的决胜局，最终获得了冠军的故事。
24.B细节理解题。 根据段落大意可知，拼字比赛是一种选手轮流拼字的比赛。虽然比赛主要是关于拼写，但它也关注单词的含义。在部分比赛中，学生们被要求选择单词的正确含义。故本段主要是在说拼字比赛的主要内容。故选B项。
25.C 细节理解题。根据第三段“But soon she was back in—the judges double- checked and learned that Harini's definition was also correct. (但很快她又回来了——评委们再次检查，得知哈里尼的解释也是正确的。)”可知，C项“Her answer was misjudged at first. (她的答案一开始被误判了。)”和原文相符。故选C项。

27.C 标题归纳题。根据文章大意，可知C项“Teen Wins Spelling Bee in Exciting Tie- Breaker”一个青少年在令人兴奋的平局中赢得拼写比赛，符合题意。A项“A Tie- Breaking Event”不能全面概括全文，故不合适；文章不是主要讲这个比赛，而是在比赛中的具体事件，故B项“Scripps National Spelling Bee”不合适； D项“A Girl's First Time to Make Her Dream Come True”一个女孩第一次实现梦想，根据最后一段“This was Harini's fourth at the Bee and it's the first time she’s made it to the finals. ”可知，这是Harini第四次参加比赛，但是她第一次进入决赛，所以并不是第一次实现梦想，和原文不符。故选C项。
[文章大意]本文是一篇说明文。主题语境为人与自然之植物种植。文章介绍了向日葵及其种植方面的知识。

33.C细节理解题。 这两个公司是在第四段第二句提及的，它们是作为对Luxury department stores 的列举出现的，它们投资时尚租赁市场。而本段第一句“Fashion rental is widening it market”意为“时尚租赁正在扩大它的市场”。故列举这两家公司为了表明时尚租赁获得流行，连大型公司也来投资了。故选C。
34.D细节 理解题。根据第五段最后两句“We should support the companies thinking about environmental impact and making improvements to become more sustainable. Small businesses providing this as well as exceptional services should get all our support.”可知答案。
35.A推理判断题。 根据第一段的“pushing people to think about fashion consumption and sustainable living—a positive to come out of an isolating two years” 以及第二段中的“Rental is a positive in the rapidly changing world of fashion... it is a solution to limiting the unnecessary production and consumption of clothing.”可知，作者使用了大量褒义词来描述时尚租赁这一趋势，如“positive, sustainable living, limiting the unnecessary production and consumption of clothing”等，显然作者对此趋势持赞成态度。故选A。
[文章大意]本文是一篇说明文。你知道“报复性睡前拖延症”吗?如何克服“报复性睡前拖延症”呢?本文告诉你答案。
36.G选项G与前一句是空后一句中提到的“This behaviour(报复性睡前拖延症)”的具体表现。

40.E空前指出睡前的例行活动有助于孩子们在睡前放松下来，它对成年人同样有效。E项“你在睡眠时创造的规律性越多，对你就越有好处”，进一步强调空前提到的 “routine”的必要性。

43.B考查名词。 教残疾孩子显然非常困难，需要付出更多的“efforts”。故选B。
44.D考查动词。 根据“despite"表示的让步可排除A和B。作者跟不上教学的步伐，不是其“拒绝refused”，而是因为智力缺陷，所以是struggled(挣扎)。故选D。
45.D考查动词。 根据上句中的“transferred from one school to another”可知，作者反复转学(switching schools)。 故选D。
46.C 考查动词短语。blow up爆炸；放大(照片)；发脾气；lift off起飞，腾飞；turn around旋转，转过身来；改变意见；出现转机；go downwards走下坡路，朝下行。根据本段内容，作者遇到一群残疾运动员训练，继而加入了这-群体，从此人生出现转机。故选C。
47.A考查名词。 根据本段最后“they were Special Olympics athletes”可知选A。
48.A考查动词。approach靠近，走近；greet打招呼；invite邀请；praise表扬。根据文意，母亲看到这些残疾运动员训练，想到作者能否加人，所以是“走近”他们，了解情况。故选A。
49.D 考查形容词。根据下段首句，作者加入残奥会运动员集训后，身体变得更强壮(I got stronger)。 由此可推知，之前是weak。故选D。
50.C 考查名词。根据前半句“I had problems walking”可知，作者走路都有困难，需要牵着别人的手。牵着别人的手，是为了获得支撑(support)，以免摔跤。故选C。
51.B 考查副词。妈妈问是否可以接受“我”成为一名残奥会运动队员，我们竟然获得了同意，这个显然是“令人喜出望外( pleasantly surprised)”。 barely 几乎不，为部分否定，与句意不符。slightly 轻微地，也与文意不符。ultimately 最终，最后，说的只是时间，不能说明作者和母亲的心情和态度，显然没有pleasantly合适。故选B.
52.C考查形容词。 根据文意可知，作者是智力低下的残疾人，动作迟缓，接受能力慢，甚至连走路都有困难，显然指导这样的孩子训练需要的更多“耐心”，正常的孩子，可能教1-2遍就会，作者可能需要若干倍的次数。故选C。
53.A考查动词。encourage 鼓励；allow允许；request请求；advise劝告。祖母鼓励作者放开她的手，选择“鼓励”更符合文意。
54.B考查形容词。作者放开祖母的手，成功地跑到了终点线，实现了跨越，显然是兴奋的(excited)。故选B.
55.D考查动词。 attach... to... 使……依附于；把……赋予…… ；compare... to...把.……比作…….devote.... to...将……奉献于……；owe….to….欠某人什么；将……归功于某人。此处为“将自己的进步归功于教练、家人和朋友”。故选D。
[文章大意]本文是一篇新闻报道。主题语境为人与环境之环境保护。多种珍稀鸟类被拍摄到在安徽合肥的巢湖过冬，这是安徽省合肥市近年来加大环保力度的结果。
56.largest考查形容词最高级。此处为“the+序数词+形容词最高级”的结构，表示排列“第几”事物。
57.werephotographed考查时态和被动语态。photograph与主语之间为被动关系，需使用被动语态。此处根据语境，使用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为复数，应使用were photographed.
58.The考查冠词。“a number of+复数名词”谓语动词使用复数，“the number of+复数名词”谓语动词使用单数。根据谓语动词is可知，此处使用the number of。
59. Therefore/ Thus/Hence考查 上下句(文)之间的逻辑关系。本处上下句之间为因果关系:因为国家一类保护物种达尔马提亚鹈鹕在中国的数量相当少，所以，一次看见三只是非常罕见的。注意，此处不能使用So，因为有逗号，只能使用副词。
60. them 考查代词。three of them意为“它们中的三只”。
61.living考查非谓语动词。此处为定语修饰名词environment ，使用动名词表示用途，相当于a good environment for living。
62. appearance考查词类转换。根据语境(被定冠词修饰，后接of结构)可知，使用名词。
63.tospend考查非谓语动词。此处为目的状语，目的状语使用动词不定式。
64. where考查定语从句引导词。先行词Hefei City在定语从句中作地点状语，the lake is located in Hefei City, 故使用where。
65.hastaken考查谓语动词(时态)。根据时间状语in recent years可知，应使用现在完成时强调对现在的影响。

第二节
One possible version:
I gathered my courage to get up and continued walking. When I stopped to collect the award, all the parents stood up, clapping and cheering me on, congratulating me, and trying to calm my nerves. Unfortunately, my heart kept pounding wildly, and I ended up dropping the award on stage. I fell on my knees and desperately tried to pick up the broken trophy. My heart sank. I wished the ground would open up and swallow me in that instant.
As I walked down the stage on the way back to my seat, embarrassed, I thought my friends would make fun of me. However, to my surprise, they apologised for their rudeness and inconsideration. I was taken aback by their response and told them that everything was all right. Their support made everything better. After this fateful incident, I learnt to be careful the next time there was an important event with a large audience，in order not to make a fool of myself. I also realised that it was embarrassing to be laughed at. Therefore, I made a promise to myself to never laugh at others when they have an embarrassing moment.

M: OK. When it comes to exercise, I prefer playing soccer.
W: Sports like jogging and playing balls are good ways, but I like to dance better. Do you sometimes do it?
M: Yes, but I am not a good dancer. Oh, my team won the final last week.
W: Cool! I know you go to the gym to practise every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
M: You're right. It's hard work, but it is worth doing.
W: I see. If it weren't for the maths test tomorrow, we could hang out right now.
M: Right. No more fun and games. Let me get my notebook.
(Text 9)
W: Do you have any ideas on what we should present?
M: Perhaps we can choose something that we haven't dealt too much with, so we can present the class with new information.
W: I'm thinking of employment actually. You know, there is so much talk about it in the local news recently. Just a few
months ago, there was a company which had to lay off over 1,000 people... what was that called...
M: Oh, yes, Stone's Throw. It is a clothing company which makes clothes from local resources, you know, cotton and wool from local farmers. Its clothing is more expensive because of that. And, well, its clothes weren't necessarily of a better quality than other clothes...
W: So the selling point was...
M: I think Stone's Throw marketed itself in this way- -if you buy our clothes, you are supporting the local economy. So people were willing to pay higher prices for their clothes... Well, there have been some problems with the local economy lately and people have less money and they have to buy cheaper food and clothes. So Stone’s Throw started losing money and had to reduce its size. . .
W: Sounds like we have a nice topic. Now, let's go to see if the professor thinks this is a good idea...

M: Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please! I'll recommend two hotels to the passengers who are going to London on this flight. The Swan Hotel is a pretty small hotel. The good thing about it is that it's not far from the airport, which is handy when you're travelling abroad. Of course, that means it's not ideal for tourists who want to see a film or enjoy a concert. All 35 rooms are double rooms. Though the hotel charges a big fee, all the rooms are very comfortable. Each room has a TV and a safety box for keeping your valuables in. Every room has a broadband Internet connection，although you have to pay a small charge for that. I suppose it's a typical business travellers’ hotel, but it is also OK if you’re just staying overnight to take an early flight. You can book rooms online. All major credit cards are accepted. You can pay in cash or by check too. The Backpacker Hotel is pretty near the centre of London. They say they’re only 10 minutes’ walk from the underground station. So you can take the underground when our flight lands, although it'll take more than an hour to get there. They've got 60 rooms. They don’t have an Internet connection in each room，but they have a little room which they call their business centre. It has a fax machine and an Internet connection. That's pretty good for a cheap hotel. They take cash only.
