四、阅读理解
While any work environment provides opportunities to make friends, some jobs are more social than others.
A Coffee Shop
Thanks to Starbucks, coffee shops have never been more plentiful. Coffee places are great for opportunities to meet people because there are usually a variety of people coming in and out through the day. You can chat with customers and coworkers alike.
The casual environment encourages conversation and the flexible schedule allows you to work there even if you have a full-time job already.
A Book Store
Book lovers are great friends to have. They’re often misunderstood as being “not social,” but they just interact with people in a different way. Bookstores are perfect for finding passionate friends and connecting you with other folks who enjoy reading and intellectual pursuits.
Hospitality Jobs
Jobs like bartenders, restaurant workers, and wait staff usually have flexible hours and attract a variety of people. For some, it’s their full-time career. For others, they’re working for extra money or because they’re involved with another life goal (like college) and need the flexibility.
This type of diversity is a good environment to make friends in and as a bonus, you’ll see many different people coming through as customers as well.
Retail Sales
Stores and businesses are busy and have a wide variety of people coming in and out. This is the perfect environment to meet a few new folks.
Many retail employees bond quickly with their coworkers because the jobs can be challenging and stressful at times, so they lean on each other, share stories, and find ways to relax and blow off steam outside of work. All of these are good for making friendships that will last.
21．Which of the following helps connect people thirsty for knowledge?
A．A Coffee Shop B．A Book Store C．Hospitality Jobs D．Retail Sales
22．What can college students needing extra money choose to work as?
A．Grocers. B．Librarians. C．Retailers. D．Waiters.
23．What do all the jobs have in common?
A．They are stressful. B．They offer high salaries.
C．They enhance social skills. D．They require rich experience.

Every year in springtime, particularly at Easter, many people “impulse buy” ducklings as gifts, often for their kids. People associate baby animals like ducklings, chicks, and bunnies with springtime, says John Di Leonardo, an anthrozoologist and president of the animal-advocacy group Humane Long Island. But after the holiday, sometimes months later, animal rescuers routinely see an uptick in abandoned adult ducks in local parks and ponds, Di Leonardo says. He estimates tens of thousands of domestic ducks are dumped each year throughout the U.S.
However, the dumped domestic ducks don’t thrive in local parks and ponds — and assuming they will is “pretty similar to going to Yellowstone and seeing a wolf and being like, ‘Oh, if this wolf can survive, my dog can survive,’” says Adison Smith, president of the Utah rescue Wasatch Wanderers. Dumped ducks lack foraging instincts, and many quickly starve to death or succumb to illness. A majority cannot fly because of their tiny wings. They don’t migrate, so if they survive until winter, “we often find them frozen to the water,” Di Leonardo says.
Ducks can be messy, producing more waste than other pets. What’s more, domestic ducks can’t be kept inside, and outdoors, they require a predator-proof enclosure. The birds can also imprint on humans, and once they do, they can’t be left alone. “Even if you leave them for 30 seconds,” Di Leonardo says, “they’re terrified.”
The issue is largely a lack of education, which is why Smith has been campaigning to raise awareness. So far, she’s hung more than 50 signs in a dozen cities warning parkgoers that pet ducks won’t survive in the wild, and that dumping them can be illegal by state law. “Our goal is to get the problem at its source,” she says. Most people tend to buy ducklings at farm and tractor supply stores for less than a dollar each, or kids take them home from school hatching projects.
24．Why do people buy ducklings as presents at Easter?
A．They are related to spring time.
B．They are symbols for good luck.
C．They are kids’ favourite gift of all.
D．They help kids learn to care for animals.
25．What does the author intend to say by mentioning “seeing a wolf in the Yellowstone”?
A．To explain why wolves and dogs can survive.
B．To tell that Yellowstone supports all forms of life.
C．To show people’s mistaken assumption about ducks.
D．To compare the surviving ability of a wolf and a dog.
26．Which of the following makes keeping ducks troublesome?
A．Ducks don’t migrate.
B．Ducks lack strong wings.
C．Ducks eat more than other pets.
D．Ducks always need our company.
27．What can be a suggestion from Adison Smith?
A．Citizens should avoid keeping ducks.
B．Schools should stop their hatching projects.
C．People shouldn’t dump their ducks in the wild.
D．The choice for presents on Easter should be diverse.

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have demonstrated a more effective way to support learning and increase engagement. They used artificial intelligence to create a new genre of interactive, hands-on exhibits that includes an intelligent, virtual assistant to interact with visitors.
When the researchers compared their intelligent exhibit to a traditional one, they found that the intelligent exhibit increased learning and the time spent at the exhibit. “Having artificial intelligence and computer vision turned the play into learning,” said Nesra Yannier, head of the project, who called the results “purposeful play.”
Earthquake tables are popular exhibits. In a typical example, kids build towers and then watch them tumble on a shaking table. Signs around the exhibit try to engage kids in thinking about science as they play, but it is not clear how well these work or how often they are even read.
Yannier led a team of researchers that built an AI-enhanced earthquake table outfitted with a camera, touchscreen, large display and an intelligent agent, NoRilla, that replaced the signs. NoRilla—a virtual gorilla—interacts with participants, taking them through different challenges and asking questions about why towers did or didn’t fall along the way and helping them make scientific discoveries.
The pre-and post-tests and surveys revealed that children learned significantly more from the AI-enhanced intelligent science exhibit compared to the traditional exhibit while having just as much fun. Their experiment at the Science Center also showed that people spent about six minutes at the intelligent exhibit, four times the 90-second average of the traditional one.
“This research will have lasting implications for future exhibit experiences at the Science Center,” said Jason Brown, the Henry Buhl Jr. director of the Carnegie Science Center. “Creating hands-on fun and inspirational exhibit experiences that scaffold science, technology, engineering or mathematics learning and discovery is what positions us as one of the most unique museums in the region.”
28．What can we learn about AI enhanced intelligent science exhibits?
A．They require more action than thinking.
B．They’re less interactive and instructional.
C．They’re more like demanding learning activities.
D．They increase the time people spent at the exhibits.
29．Why did the author mention Earthquake tables?
A．To introduce the background of the project.
B．To reveal the drawbacks of traditional exhibits.
C．To explain how intelligent exhibits help learning.
D．To show the strengths and weaknesses of intelligent exhibits.
30．Which aspect of the research does the last paragraph focus on?
A．Its findings. B．Its principle. C．Its limitations. D．Its significance.
31．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Intelligent Exhibits Turn Learning into Play
B．Intelligent Exhibits Replace Traditional Ones
C．A New Genre of Exhibits Comes into the World
D．Intelligent Exhibits Help Kids’ Learning and Engagement

Steel plays a significant role in the automobiles we drive and the transportation infrastructure that connects us. However, it also contributes to 7% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. In recognition of this, 45 nations made a pledge in 2021 to strive towards nearly zero-emission steel production within the next ten years.
However, how is it possible to produce the steel required for society with zero emissions?
A new study shows that if we are truly committed to reaching zero emissions, we must be prepared for a scenario where the amount of steel we can produce is lower. Japan has set a target for a 46% reduction in emissions from steel by 2030, and zero emissions by 2050. So far, the roadmap for achieving this relies heavily on future innovations in technology.
In the study, Dr. Takuma Watari, a Japanese researcher argues that there is no silver bullet. He says that current plans to cut carbon emissions underestimate how difficult it will be to develop CCS and hydrogen technologies and deploy them widely: “These technologies still face serious technical, economic, and social challenges, and have yet to be implemented at scale.
According to Dr. Watari, “zero-emission steel production is possible by 2050, but in limited quantity and quality compared to current total production. This is due to the limited availability of zero-emission compatible resources and downcycling practices of scrap steel.”
The implication is clear. It is not enough to rely on a technological silver bullet materializing to transform the supply of steel. We also need to look seriously at strategies to reduce demand by shifting our culture of steel use and improving our material efficiency.
Dr. Watari concludes that we do need to invest in technological innovations, but we cannot simply wait for them to appear. Instead, steel users need to prepare for a world where there is less steel available: “We do not deny the need to invest in innovative production technologies. Rather, what we want to highlight is that we should look for far more strategic options, instead of simply relying on silver bullet production technologies.”
32．Which is the key factor that affects zero-emission steel production?
A．Market requirement. B．Scrap steel recycling.
C．Government support. D．Technical improvement.
33．What does the underlined words silver bullet mean in Paragraph 4?
A．A good solution. B．Precious treasure. C．A deadly weapon. D．Critical strike.
34．What’s Dr. Watari’s attitude towards the present steel use culture?
A．Supportive. B．Ambiguous. C．Unconcerned. D．Critical.
35．What is the suggestion given to steel users?
A．Learning to live with less steel.
B．Producing steel without emissions.
C．Upcycling steel to remove impurities.
D．Stopping investing in technological innovations.


五、七选五
All of us ought to be able to brace ourselves for the predictable challenges and setbacks that crop up every day. If we expect that life won’t be perfect, 36 But even if you are strong enough to persist the obstacle course of life and work, sometimes you will encounter an adverse event that will completely knock you on your back.
Whether it’s a financial loss, the loss of respect of your peers or loved ones, or some other traumatic event in your life, 37 You may even wonder if things can ever change for the better again.
Adversity happens to all of us, and it happens all the time. 38 To ignore adversity is to give in to the ultimate self-delusion.
39 Abraham Lincoln overcomes a difficult child-hood, depression, the death of two sons, and constant ridicule during the Civil War to become arguably one of the greatest president ever. Helen Keller made an impact on the world despite being deaf, dumb, and blind from an early age. Franklin Roosevelt had polio.
There are endless examples. 40
A．What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
B．we’ll be able to avoid that impulse to quit.
C．these major setbacks leave you doubting yourself.
D．Some are either there or in wait just around the corner.
E．we’ll learn to accept imperfection and compromise with reality.
F．But history is made by people facing hurdles but achieving greatness.
G．People faced adversity bravely, learned valuable lessons and moved ahead.

Young boys often dream of superpowers to solve their problems. It was 1933, while the country was still 41 the Great Depression, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster put their 42 down on paper. In the process, they created the world’s most popular superhero, Superman.

The idea of Superman 45 upon him in the middle of a sleepless summer night. When the Superman’s origin story started 46 , he dashed over to Joe’s place and showed it to him. Then they just sat down, and worked straight out.
As is often the case, when we experience something 47 in life, we deal with the feeling through 48 expression. Jerry’s father had died during a robbery. A young child might 49 that experience by wishing something could have 50   it. For Jerry, out came the Man of Steel, who was 51 to bullets and protecting innocent people was his 52 .
The story of Superman has inspired kids for generations. It has 53   their fears and driven their dreams. Most   54   , the Man of Steel has inspired us all to find our superpower and use them to help others. Therefore, the next time you are inspired to 55   a friend from being bullied, or help the widow next door with your superpower smile, thank Joe and Jerry, two awkward high school kids who dreamt up Superman—making the world a little more safe and fair.

九、读后续写
67．阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Good morning, everybody,” Mrs. Harris greeted the students as she entered the music room. The 65-year-old music teacher had a reputation for being strict in class, despite music seeming like a light subject. But Mrs. Harris took her job seriously, and teaching music was a massive passion for her.
She walked to the piano and started leading the students into a song to get them warmed up. This semester, she was going to teach them about composition and songwriting. Suddenly, one student raised her hand.
“Mrs. Harris, what do you like to listen to in your leisure time?” she asked curiously.
“I bet she listens to Beethoven and Tchaikovsky at home,” another student said.
“But I actually like a lot of pop music, and even some of the things you, young people, listen to nowadays. But I must admit that I listen to a lot of old songs, especially Paul McCartney,” Mrs. Harris answered, smiling at the kids.
Soon enough, the students got used to her, and some started taking her lessons more seriously. Others still liked to be playful, but she wasn’t truly mad at them.
However, the worst was yet to happen. Her husband suddenly died in the middle of the school year, and she didn’t have the heart to go to work. Fortunately, the school was accommodating. They gave her some well-deserved time off.
At first, she was like a zombie(迟钝无生气的人) at home, lying in bed all day. She didn’t even listen to music anymore. But when her daughter encouraged her to start playing tunes once again, she began to play again until she decided to return to school.
She called the headmaster, letting him know she was ready to get back to normal, even if the love of her life was gone.
“Good morning, everyone,” she began upon entering the classroom for the first time since her husband’s death. She placed her things on her desk and started to speak again. “Before we begin, I want to apologize…”

21．细节理解题。根据A Book Store部分中“Bookstores are perfect for finding passionate friends and connecting you with other folks who enjoy reading and intellectual pursuits.(书店是找到充满激情的朋友的绝佳场所，还能把你和其他喜欢阅读和追求知识的人联系起来)”可知，A Book Store有助于将渴望知识的人们联系起来。故选B。
22．细节理解题。根据Hospitality Jobs部分中“Jobs like bartenders, restaurant workers, and wait staff usually have flexible hours and attract a variety of people. For some, it’s their full-time career. For others, they’re working for extra money or because they’re involved with another life goal (like college) and need the flexibility.(像调酒师、餐厅工作人员和服务员这样的工作通常有灵活的工作时间，吸引各种各样的人。对一些人来说，这是他们的全职工作。对另一些人来说，他们工作是为了额外的钱，或者是因为他们有另一个生活目标（比如上大学），需要灵活性)”可知，需要额外收入的大学生可以选择做服务员。故选D。
23．细节理解题。根据第一段“While any work environment provides opportunities to make friends, some jobs are more social than others.(虽然任何工作环境都提供了结交朋友的机会，但有些工作比其他工作更具社交性)”及下文可知，文章主要介绍了四种可以提高社交技能的工作。由此可知，这些工作的共同之处是提高社交技能。故选C。
24．A 25．C 26．D 27．C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是人们丢弃作为礼物的小鸭子这件事对鸭子的生存不利。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Every year in springtime, particularly at Easter, many people “impulse buy” ducklings as gifts, often for their kids. People associate baby animals like ducklings, chicks, and bunnies with springtime, says John Di Leonardo, an anthrozoologist and president of the animal-advocacy group Humane Long Island. (每年春天，尤其是复活节，很多人都会“冲动购买”小鸭子作为礼物，通常是送给孩子的。人类动物学家、动物倡导组织“长岛人道”的主席约翰·迪·莱昂纳多说，人们把小鸭子、小鸡和兔子等动物宝宝与春天联系在一起。)”可知，人们在复活节买小鸭子作为礼物是因为它们与春天有关。故选A。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段的“However, the dumped domestic ducks don’t thrive in local parks and ponds — and assuming they will is “pretty similar to going to Yellowstone and seeing a wolf and being like, ‘Oh, if this wolf can survive, my dog can survive,’” says Adison Smith, president of the Utah rescue Wasatch Wanderers. Dumped ducks lack foraging instincts, and many quickly starve to death or succumb to illness. (然而，被丢弃的家鸭在当地的公园和池塘里并不能茁壮成长——假设它们能茁壮成长就像“去黄石公园看到狼，然后说，‘哦，如果这只狼能活下来，我的狗也能活下来，’”犹他州救援Wasatch Wanderers的主席艾迪森·史密斯说。被抛弃的鸭子缺乏觅食的本能，许多鸭子很快就会饿死或生病。)”可知，此人所说的话表明人们认为鸭子能在当地的公园和池塘里茁壮成长是错误的，因此作者提到“在黄石公园看到狼”是想展示人们对鸭子的错误假设。故选C。
26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“The birds can also imprint on humans, and once they do, they can’t be left alone. “Even if you leave them for 30 seconds,” Di Leonardo says, “they’re terrified.”(鸭子也会在人类身上留下印记，一旦它们这样做了，它们就不能独自离开。“即使你离开它们30秒，”Di Leonardo说，“它们也会很害怕。”)”可知，让养鸭变得麻烦的是鸭子总是需要我们的陪伴。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The issue is largely a lack of education, which is why Smith has been campaigning to raise awareness. So far, she’s hung more than 50 signs in a dozen cities warning parkgoers that pet ducks won’t survive in the wild, and that dumping them can be illegal by state law.(这个问题很大程度上是因为缺乏教育，这就是为什么史密斯一直在努力提高人们的认识。到目前为止，她已经在十几个城市悬挂了50多个标志，警告公园游客，宠物鸭在野外无法生存，根据州法律，丢弃它们可能是非法的。)”可知，Adison Smith的建议是人们不应该把鸭子扔到野外。故选C。
28．D 29．C 30．D 31．D

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员发现人工智能增强的智能科学展览可以帮助孩子更有效的学习。文章列举了相关研究开展的过程以及发现。

29．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Yannier led a team of researchers that built an AI-enhanced earthquake table outfitted with a camera, touchscreen, large display and an intelligent agent, NoRilla, that replaced the signs. NoRilla—a virtual gorilla—interacts with participants, taking them through different challenges and asking questions about why towers did or didn’t fall along the way and helping them make scientific discoveries.( Yannier领导的研究小组建造了一个人工智能增强的地震表，配备了摄像头、触摸屏、大显示屏和一个智能代理NoRilla，取代了指示。NoRilla是一只虚拟的大猩猩，它与参与者互动，带领他们完成不同的挑战，询问为什么塔楼会或不会在途中倒塌，并帮助他们做出科学发现)”可推知，作者提到地震表是为了解释智能展品如何帮助学习。故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段““This research will have lasting implications for future exhibit experiences at the Science Center,” said Jason Brown, the Henry Buhl Jr. director of the Carnegie Science Center. “Creating hands-on fun and inspirational exhibit experiences that scaffold science, technology, engineering or mathematics learning and discovery is what positions us as one of the most unique museums in the region.”(“这项研究将对科学中心未来的展览体验产生持久的影响，”卡内基科学中心的小亨利·布尔主任Jason Brown说。“创造动手的乐趣和鼓舞人心的展览体验，支撑科学、技术、工程或数学的学习和发现，这使我们成为该地区最独特的博物馆之一。”)”可知，最后一段关注的是研究的重要性。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have demonstrated a more effective way to support learning and increase engagement. They used artificial intelligence to create a new genre of interactive, hands-on exhibits that includes an intelligent, virtual assistant to interact with visitors.(卡内基梅隆大学的研究人员展示了一种更有效的方法来支持学习和提高参与度。他们利用人工智能创造了一种新型的互动式、动手式展览，其中包括一个智能的虚拟助手与参观者互动)”结合文章主要说明了研究人员发现人工智能增强的智能科学展览可以帮助孩子更有效的学习。文章列举了相关研究开展的过程以及发现。可知，故D选项“智能展品有助于孩子的学习和参与”最符合文章标题。故选D。
32．D 33．A 34．D 35．A

【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，如果我们真的致力于实现零排放，我们必须做好准备，以应对我们能够生产的钢铁数量更少的情况。
32．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Japan has set a target for a 46% reduction in emissions from steel by 2030, and zero emissions by 2050. So far, the roadmap for achieving this relies heavily on future innovations in technology.(日本设定了一个目标，到2030年钢铁排放量减少46% ，到2050年实现零排放。到目前为止，实现这一目标的路线图在很大程度上依赖于未来的技术创新。)”可知，影响零排放钢铁生产的关键因素是技术进步，故选D。
33．词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“He says that current plans to cut carbon emissions underestimate how difficult it will be to develop CCS and hydrogen technologies and deploy them widely: “These technologies still face serious technical, economic, and social challenges, and have yet to be implemented at scale.(他说，目前减少碳排放的计划低估了开发 CCS 和氢技术并广泛应用它们的难度：“这些技术仍然面临严峻的技术、经济和社会挑战，尚未得到大规模实施。”)”可知，减少碳排放的计划仍然面临一些挑战，这说明目前没有一个好的解决方法，由此可推知，划线短语“silver bullet”与A项“A good solution.(一个好的解决办法。)”意思一致，故选A。
34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段对Dr. Watari所说的话的阐释“The implication is clear. It is not enough to rely on a technological silver bullet materializing to transform the supply of steel. We also need to look seriously at strategies to reduce demand by shifting our culture of steel use and improving our material efficiency.(意思很明显。仅仅依靠技术上的灵丹妙药来改变钢铁供应是不够的。我们还需要认真研究减少需求的战略，转变我们使用钢材的文化，提高我们的材料效率。)”可知，我们需要转变我们使用钢材的文化，这说明目前我们的钢铁文化不合理，由此可推知，Dr. Watari对目前钢铁使用文化的态度是批评的，故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Instead, steel users need to prepare for a world where there is less steel available(相反，钢铁使用者需要为一个钢铁减少的世界做好准备)”可知，钢铁将会减少，由此可推知，给钢铁使用者的建议是：学会减少钢铁的使用。故选A。
36．B 37．C 38．D 39．F 40．G

37．根据下文“You may even wonder if things can ever change for the better again.(你甚至可能怀疑事情是否会再次变得更好。)”中的even可知，前后是递进关系，也是在描述你所怀疑的事，C项“这些重大挫折都会让你怀疑自己。”符合，上文“Whether it’s a financial loss, the loss of respect of your peers or loved ones, or some other traumatic event in your life,(无论是经济损失，失去同伴或爱人的尊重，还是生活中的其他创伤性事件，)”指的是“these major setbacks”，故选C。
38．上文“Adversity happens to all of us, and it happens all the time.(逆境发生在我们每个人身上，而且一直都在发生。)”指出逆境会发生在我们每个人身上，而且一直都在发生，强调我们都会面对逆境，由此可知，空处承接上文，继续描述逆境的普遍发生性，D项“有些逆境要么已经发生，要么就即将发生。”符合，故选D。
39．下文“Abraham Lincoln overcomes a difficult child - hood, depression, the death of two sons, and constant ridicule during the Civil War to become arguably one of the greatest president ever. Helen Keller made an impact on the world despite being deaf, dumb, and blind from an early age. Franklin Roosevelt had polio.(亚伯拉罕·林肯克服了艰难的童年，抑郁，两个儿子的死亡，以及内战期间不断的嘲笑，成为可以说是有史以来最伟大的总统之一。尽管海伦·凯勒从小就耳聋、哑巴和失明，但她对世界产生了影响。富兰克林·罗斯福患有小儿麻痹症。)”用亚伯拉罕·林肯，海伦·凯勒和富兰克林·罗斯福这几个历史人物来证明，历史是由那些面对困难却取得成就的人创造的。F项“但历史是由那些面对困难却取得成就的人创造的。”符合，故选F。
40．上文“Abraham Lincoln overcomes a difficult child - hood, depression, the death of two sons, and constant ridicule during the Civil War to become arguably one of the greatest president ever. Helen Keller made an impact on the world despite being deaf, dumb, and blind from an early age. Franklin Roosevelt had polio.(亚伯拉罕·林肯克服了艰难的童年，抑郁，两个儿子的死亡，以及内战期间不断的嘲笑，成为可以说是有史以来最伟大的总统之一。尽管海伦·凯勒从小就耳聋、哑巴和失明，但她对世界产生了影响。富兰克林·罗斯福患有小儿麻痹症。)”用历史人物来说明人们之所以能取得成功，是由于勇敢地面对逆境，勇往直前，由上文“There are endless examples.(这样的例子不胜枚举，)”可知，空处应该对这些例子所表达的内容进行总结，G项“人们勇敢地面对逆境，汲取宝贵的教训，勇往直前。”符合，能概括这些历史人物的共同点，故选G。

67．But before she could go on, the sound of notes being played cut her off. She watched the students as they held up their instruments and played a beautiful tune for her. Wonderful notes filled the classroom, and she recognized the song immediately. It was one of Paul McCartney’s most famous songs, also her favorite. Mrs. Harris understood immediately that her students knew what had happened to her. They were giving her a gift she would never forget. Tears filled her eyes as they finished the song, and she had to take a seat to take it all in. (84 words)
Her students approached her one by one. They offered their comfort, and the girls hugged her tightly. She could only thank them for their kindness as tears flowed down her face. After a few minutes, she wiped her tears. “OK. Let’s get back to work!” she said, her voice still emotional. But her words made everyone laugh. They knew their strict teacher was back, and it made them happy. As for Mrs. Harris, she further realized that music was also the other love of her life, and teaching was her life’s purpose. (85 words)
