I always wanted to be a scientist. When I found that summer research program, I thought I had found the perfect topic for my thesis(论文) and a stepping stone to my dream academic career. The position—measuring soil condition as part of an undergraduate research program—had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. This was just the program I wanted and I wasn't going to consider other options.
Then came a rejection email. I felt lost and hopeless. Thinking the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career, I was also a little regretful. There had been more programs I could have applied for. But only later would I see that instead, it provided an exciting new direction to follow.
Not long after the rejection email, the professor running the research program invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later, she invited me to talk with her about potential thesis projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn't seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I felt I wasn't in a position to be picky; this was a great opportunity and I was going to give it my all.
Then I found myself working with a robotics professor, and the work introduced me to a whole new way to think about my research direction. In the end, I had a thesis and a new scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I decided I would be selective about the options I pursued rather than casting abroad net. I realized that rather than setting plans in stone, sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don't sound exactly perfect at the time, and make the most of them. And I've learned to look at each rejection as are direction instead.
4. What might the author regret after being rejected?
A. He should have chosen another major.
B. He should have applied for more programs.
C. He shouldn't have dreamt of being a scientist.
D. He shouldn't have spent years looking for an answer.
5. What did the professor ask the author to do?
A. Take any possible opportunity.
B. Help setup a new lab.
C. Get involved in her research projects.
D. Put all efforts into research work.
6. Which word can be used to describe the author?
A. Wise. B. Honest. C. Talented. D. Picky.
7. What message did the author want to convey?
A. To be a scientist is not really easy.
B. We should make one choice at a time.
C. To choose a research program is important.
D. We should learn to turn rejection into redirection.
C
Two years ago, enormous fires swept through some 46 million acres of forest in Russia, the country's worst fire season on record. Now, researchers have a clearer sense of just how significant the 2021 boreal(北方的)forest fires were in terms of emissions. The fires produced more planet-heating carbon dioxide than any other extreme fire event that has occurred since the turn of the 21st century, according to a study.
Boreal forests grow where it is very cold. The trees that live in this type of forest grow slowly and seal (封存) carbon in their trunks and roots for hundreds of years, comprising a collection of trapped emissions that researchers call a carbon sink. But rising temperatures and related drought in these historically cool regions have led to an increase in extreme wildfire activity and threaten to release the carbon stored in the trees that grow there, transforming a carbon sink into a carbon source.
In all, fires in boreal forests r released the carbon sink and produced nearly half a billion metric tons of carbon in 2021.That's more carbon than the entire continent of Australia produced the same year, though some of the emissions produced by the fires will be sucked backup as forests regrow.
The researchers obtained the data for their study by tracking concentrations of emissions in the atmosphere using satellites, and then they put that information into a computer model to determine where, geographically, those emissions came from. They found that boreal forests, which typically produce about 10 percent of the globe's annual wildfire emissions, accounted for 23 percent of the world's wildfire emissions in 2021—more than twice as much as normal.
Canadell, whole d the study, is most concerned about the study's main takeaway: Boreal forests have served an important and underappreciated role in sequestering carbon emissions, but climate change threatens to release that carbon. “We need to be very careful with these systems in terms of their future development,” he said.
8. What is the function of paragraph 2?
A. To ex pain the source of carbon.
B. To illustrate two scientific concepts.
C. To indicate the seriousness of the fire.
D. To show the importance of boreal forests.
9. How did the scientists get needed data?
A. By employing technology. B. By searching on the website.
C. By analyzing previous data. D. By turning to the firefighters.
10. What does the underlined word “sequestering” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Assessing. B. Increasing. C. Monitoring. D. Preventing.
11. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. The reasons for the forest fires in the north.
B. The impact of the 2021bo real forest fires.
C. The link between fires and carbon dioxide.
D. The increasingly growing carbon emissions.
D
The painting “Portrait(肖像) of Omai” was finished in 1774 and was sold to John Magnier in 2001.When he wants to take the painting out of the country, the government believes it's important for Britain and stops him doing so. Yet British buyers can't raise the money needed to get it from Mr. Magnier before the deadline of a ban on exporing it. A solution may now involve the Getty Museum in Los Angeles; it could be a model for other treasured artworks too expensive for the nation to buy.
Most countries have export restrictions on their cultural treasures. Many European countries allow the government to step in and buy any work offered for sale. Brit in operates a system called Waverley standards, balancing the aims of keeping important pieces and protecting the rights of their owners. Valuable pieces are evaluated at monthly meetings of a committee of owners, dealers and art historians. The most important works are kept in Britain temporarily while institutions at home try to raise the funds to buy them.
Mr. Magnier paid £10.3 million for “Portrait of Omai”. Now he wants £50 million for it, a fair value. The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) in London has been trying to raise the cash, but only half the money had been raised. The NPG's answer is to buy the painting together with the Getty Museum, spending half its time in London and the other half in California. In 2015 a similar arrangement was agreed between France and the Netherlands to share ownership of a pair of important portraits by Rembrandt.
The Waverley standards were meant to keep Britain's cultural treasures at home. But protecting an artwork for the nation for some time maybe all that can be achieved. Closed for three years for repair, the NPG hopes it will open its doors again with “Portrait of Omai” as its glory.
12. What can we learn about Magnier from Para. l?
A. He painted a portrait of an Englishman.
B. He wanted to take the painting abroad.
C. He illegally took hold of the painting.
D. He solved the problem with a portrait.
13. What do the Waverley standards do to keep cultural treasures at home?
A. They set aside time for home purchase.
B. They checkout annual export licences.
C. They decide a ban on the rare treasures
D. They advertise the sales of the treasures.
14. What will be the final solution to “Portrait of Omai”?
A. Britain takes it for permanent ownership.
B. Mr. Magnier takes it abroad after the deadline.
C. Britain works with France to share its ownership.
D. NPG and the Getty Museum share its ownership.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Cooperation of World's Galleries
B. The Protection of Galleries' Paintings
C.A New Way to Save Art for the Nation
D.A Clever Way to Stop Loss of Paintings

第二节（满分25分）
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。
I am not good at sports, but one of the most memorable days of my life is the day of my fourth-grade sports meet. The day does not standout because I won prizes. It stands out because I saw just how much my father loved me.
Before setting out for school that morning, I washed my face and sat down to eat breakfast as usual. My mom was already at work. My dad had just gotten home from the nightshift in his factory, so he helped me get ready for school. While we were eating, he told me that he had something important to tell me. My dad was always so strong—I didn't think anything could frighten him.
He said his boss had called him into his office before he left and setup a meeting for later in the morning. There had been a lot of talk going around about layoffs(解雇) .My dad thought he was going to be one of the unlucky ones. I was completely surprised. My dad had worked for the factory for twelve years, longer than I had been alive. Our family knew layoffs were coming, but we just thought Dad would not lose his job since he had worked there for so long.
My dad told me not to worry about anything. He said everything would work itself out and that we'd make it. I believed him, but I could also tell how worried he really was.
Before he dropped me off at school, I told him he didn't have to come to the sports meet. I knew he had a lot on his mind and probably wouldn't want to stand around in the heat just to watch me come in last place in all of my events. He just shook his head and promised he would be there. He told me to do my best and not worry about winning or losing. He wished me good luck before kissing me goodbye.
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。
There was a class before the sports meet began.


After finishing the running event, I learned he had been laid off.

7.D 推理判断题。本文主要讲述了作者在申请研究项目被拒后，抓住了别人提供的机会，调整了研究方向从而完成了论文。而在这个过程中，作者意识到要学会适时调整方向，把每一次拒绝看作是重新定向。文章第二段末句和末段的末句是关键信息。
C
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于2021年北方森林大火的研究，研究发现这场火灾产生的碳排放是21世纪初以来最多的。
8.A 推理判断题。文章首段提出北方森林大火造成了大量的碳排放，在第二段介绍了森林对碳的封存功能以及
这些树木内的碳是如何释放出来的，由此推断第二段的目的是解释北方森林大火为什么会造成大量的碳排放，即说明这些碳的来源。
9.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中“using satellites, and then they put that information into a computer model”可知，科学家在研究过程中使用了高科技来统计数据。
10.D 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段以及画线词后句中“but climate change threatens to release that carbon”可知，北方森林能够储存碳，而气候的变化、气温的上升会对森林造成威胁，增加这些碳被释放出来的概率，由此推断画线词与D选项意思最为接近。
11.B 主旨大意题。文章首段指出2021年的森林大火产生了21世纪以来最多的碳排放，然后在下文第三段、第四段对此进行进一步说明，由此推断文章主要介绍的是2021年北方森林大火造成的影响。

本文是一篇说明文。为保护本国的文物不流失国外，各国采取了各种措施。文章介绍了英国的“韦弗利标准”：当私人收藏者要带走自己收藏的国宝级的文物时，先由国家机构尽力筹钱购买，如果筹集的钱不够，则考虑与他国的博物馆联合收购。
12.B 细节理解题。第一段提到马格尼在2001年买下《奥迈肖像》这幅画想带出英国，但是英国政府认为这幅画很重要，拒绝了他的请求。因此选B。
13.A 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词Waverley standards可以把答案定位在第二段和第四段。第二段提到，这个标准能在一定时间内保护英国文物不被带出国，在这段时间里，国内的机构能筹钱去购买这个文物；第四段提到，这个标准是用来保护英国文物不流失海外。由此可知选A。
14.D 细节理解题。第一段提到，对这幅画的最终解决方案将是与美国洛杉矶的盖蒂博物馆合作；第三段提到，英国国家肖像馆将与盖蒂博物馆合作买下《奥迈肖像》，之后让这幅画在各自的场馆各展出一半的时间。由此可知选D。
15.C 标题归纳题。本文介绍了一些国家在保护国家级的本国文物方面采取的措施：当这些文物要被带出国时，设立一个期限，国家相关部门在这个期限内筹钱买下文物。若筹集的钱不够，则与国外大型场馆合作买下，轮流展出。因此本文的标题是C。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些在生活中要养成的好习惯，比如爬楼梯、多喝水以及早点休息等。
16.A 前句是建议人们爬楼梯，后句是让人们反复上下楼梯，增加运动强度，由此推断A选项“但不要止步于此”内容适合语境，可以承接上下文。
17.G 前句介绍喝水有很多好处，而G选项“它有助于保持你的正常体温和排出体内的废物”则是介绍具体的好处，因此判断G项内容可以承接上文。
18.D 后句提到良好的姿势还能防止背痛， 根据“Not only that”判断设空处应该介绍了良好姿势的其他好处， 因此D 选项“良好的姿势可以减轻压力”内容适合语境。干扰项F能够承接上文但是和后句不能构成内容的衔接。
19.C 本段介绍了睡眠的好处并建议人们早点睡觉，因此判断C选项“提前半小时上床睡觉”可以作为本段主题句。B选项“改变你的坏睡眠习惯”为干扰选项，本段没有涉及坏的睡眠习惯，因此不能概括本段中心。
20.E 空前提到要专注于自己的目标，因此判断E选项“如果你偏离了目标，那就重新开始”可以承接上文。
本文是一篇记叙文。作者买了个新的智能手机之后，逐渐花费越来越多的时间在手机上。作者察觉到之后，改变了这种行为，并且号召大家放下手机，花更多的时间享受生活。
21.A 根据首句可知，没有了3G信号，作者“被迫(force) ”购买新的智能手机。故选A。
22.B 语境表示转折关系，因此用副词nevertheless作为语境过渡词：可是，手机上上网比在电脑上上网更加方便。
故选B。23.D 根据语境的搭配(spend time on sth.)，代词it和句意看，这里说的是作者有限的“时间(time) ”， 因此选D。
24.D 根据上文可知， 此处意为：我很快发现自己花在“手机(phone) ”上的时间越来越多， 而自己却没有注意到。故选D。
25.A 在手机上“浏览(look through) ”新闻。故选A。

One possible version:
There was a class before the sports meet began. During the class, I couldn't stop thinking about my dad and the meeting. The teacher broke my train of thought with her words, “Sports meet time!” I saw my dad as I was getting ready for my running event. He waved at me with a big smile on his face. When I saw how happy he was, I thought the boss might have given him a pay rise. I heard him cheering for me as Iran. I didn't win the race, but I tried my best.
After finishing the running event, I learned he had been laid off. I was shocked. He looked so happy and I couldn't understand why he was smiling. As the day wore on, I continued to compete and lose. Every time I looked at my dad he was smiling and cheering me on. I don't remember all the events I took part in, but I remember my dad's smiling face. And I realized on that day how much my father loved me.
