W: If we can get a table at the restaurant, that is.
M: I don’t think it will be a problem. It’s only Monday. They shouldn’t be booked up yet. Give them a call.
W: I’ll do that right away. Then this afternoon I will go to town and buy dad a present.
M: Get him a birthday cake as well.
W: No, I think I’ll make one myself. It feels nicer when someone has made an effort.

【答案】17. B 18. A 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】M: Hello everyone and welcome to the garden seminar. We all know that plants grow well in warm and sunny places, but we aren’t all lucky enough to live somewhere like that. Bill and Sally Jones live in a high, windy area — not ideal for gardening — but they are also champion vegetable growers. How do they do it? Well, we all know that vegetables need plenty of water — not just a few drops or a few pints, but gallons of it. It rains a lot where the Jones family live, so they have a good water supply. It’s also very open, so they get enough sunlight. The real enemy is the wind. They tried different ways of protecting the plants — planting trees for shelter and building fences — but what they use now for the more delicate plants are glass houses. With several of these they are able to grow plants which would not normally survive in their location. By adapting to the conditions in which they live, Bill and Sally have developed a winning way with their crops. And their experience can serve as a lesson for other growers who experience similar difficulties.

Archan Chan recalls her first experience working in a Chinese restaurant more than 14 years ago. Employed as an apprentice (学徒) chef, she was one of just two women in the kitchen — the other’s only job was to beat eggs. “She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess for a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchen back then, you had to be the best in something,” she says.
Today, Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook, one of Hong Kong’s most popular restaurants. After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapore, she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top of a high-end Chinese restaurant. That’s an impressive achievement, given how unbelievably challenging it has been for women to show in high-end Chinese kitchens.
Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world. But the situation is even severer in Chinese kitchens. There’s no denying the work is physically demanding — an empty pot weighs about 2.2 kilograms. In the past, few chefs would risk employing a female trainee into that tough environment.
Given all of these barriers, not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs of a shift in mindset — the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.
“Even if it’s a kitchen almost full of men, all everyone cares about is food — the cooking. They don’t care if you’re a male or female. Gender shouldn’t matter,” Chan says.
“Yes, there is a physical barrier but I think the mental barrier may be more of a barrier to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens,”Chan adds. “It isn’t just about how much you want it but how much hard work you’re willing to put into it. There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can’t move them anymore, but the next day, you’re stronger and may be able to work a heavier work.”
24. What can we learn about Archan Chan?
A. She got a rapid promotion.
B. She does best in beating eggs.
C. She is the best female chef in China.
D. She made a great achievement in her career.
25. What’s a cause of very few female chefs in professional kitchens?
A. Kitchen is a tough place for women.
B. Women are afraid of physical work.
C. Customers care about the gender of the chef.
D. Women face both mental and physical barriers.
26. Which of the following can best describe Archan Chan?
A. Strong-willed. B. Open-minded.
C. Cool-headed. D. Kind-hearted.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Female chefs have risen to the top.
B. Female chefs have long been a minority.
C. Female chefs are proving doubters wrong.
D. Female chefs are replacing male chefs gradually.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. C

Ever been hungry enough to eat a house? Now, you actually could.
Food waste is a big problem in Japan and globally. Japan produced around 5.7 million tons of food waste in 2019. The government plans to reduce that by around 2.7 million tons by 2030. Tokyo University researchers Kota Machida and Yuya Sakai have developed a way to transform food waste into cement (水泥) for construction use and more. This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste. The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature — it’s also eatable.
Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming. As expected, something this unique took years to develop. It took a few attempts to find just the right process. Kota and Yuya created the unique technology while researching possible environment-friendly materials to replace cement-based concrete. Cement production accounts for 8% of the world’s carbon dioxide release.
After a few failures, they realized they could get the cement to bind (黏合) by adjusting the temperatures. “The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures,” Yuya said. So the researchers had to observe them and respond in time. In the experiments, Kota and Yuya have successfully made cement using tea leaves, coffee grounds, cabbage and even lunchbox leftovers.
Fabula Inc. is currently working to make tea cups and furniture, but Yuya is thinking a little bit bigger. Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. “For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement,” he said. To eat the material, a person needs to break it apart and boil it.
28. What’s mainly talked about in paragraph 1 and 2?
A. The functions of this particular cement.
B. The effects of food waste in the whole world.
C. The characteristics of the newly made cement.
D. The process of transforming food waste to cement.
29 Which is one of Kota and Yuya’s purposes in making use of food waste?
A. To handle global climate change.
B. To extend concrete’s service life.
C. To offer Fabula Inc. more cement.
D. To warn how serious food waste is.
30. What made the experiment of making cement out of food waste harder?
A. Making sure to make cement tasty.
B. Selecting correct food waste timely.
C. Getting cement broken apart easily.
D. Adjusting the temperatures constantly.
31. What does the underlined word “makeshift” in the last paragraph mean?
A. bendable. B. commercial. C. recyclable. D. temporary.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种用粮食垃圾制造的一种新型可以食用的水泥。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste. The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature — it’s also eatable. (这是第一个完全从食物垃圾中制造水泥的过程。研究人员表示，他们的产品的强度是传统混凝土的四倍。这种特殊的水泥也可以用来制作茶杯或椅子之类的东西。然而，它还有一个额外的特点——它也是可以吃的。)”可知，这两段主要讨论了新制水泥的特点。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming. (Kota和Yuya是Fabula公司成立背后的智慧，这家公司的宗旨是减少食物浪费，帮助对抗全球变暖。)”可知，Kota和Yuya利用食物垃圾是为了应对全球气候变化。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures. (最具挑战性的部分是每种食物垃圾需要不同的温度。)”可知，需要不断调节温度让从食物垃圾中制造水泥的实验变得更加困难。故选D项。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. (他们的产品可以在灾难中以可食用的紧急避难所的形式提供救济。)”说明他们的产品可以用作临时紧急避难所，从而推知划线词句“For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement. (例如，如果食物不能送到人们手中，他们可以吃用食品水泥做成的makeshift床。)”其中划线词汇意思为“临时的，暂时的”，即：如果赈灾食品不能及时到位，被困人员可以吃食品水泥做成的临时床救急，故选D项。

Virtual reality gamers (VR game) who finished it faster than their fellow gamers also have higher levels of general intelligence and processing capacity. This was the result of a study conducted by Markus Weinmann from the University of Cologne. The results also indicate that virtual reality games can be useful supplementary (补充) human resource management tools in companies for predicting the job performance of an applicant.
Several studies have already shown that video games may indicate or even help to develop intellectual and cognitive abilities. As intelligence is one of the most commonly used predictors for job performance, video games could be interesting for the human resource management. Although many companies are increasingly using VR technology to recruit (招募) candidates, only few studies have specifically investigated whether and how VR games can be used to draw conclusions about intelligence in this area. The study contributes to bridging the gap between research and practice.
Weinmann invited 103 participants to their lab. Under controlled laboratory conditions, they played the commercial VR game “Job Simulator”and completed the short version of the intelligence test BIS-4. The researcher’s analyses show that an increase of 17% in processing capacity correlated with less time spent playing the game (by an average of 3.7 minutes).
The results are a scientific novelty, as it has hardly been possible to conduct VR studies with state-of-the-art VR hardware. There are thus few studies that have investigated the correlation between behavior in VR and intelligence, “There are already some companies that use games, so-called ‘serious games’, for recruiting. The new results are in line with this specific application of VR games and show that they can be used for recruiting,” said Weinmann.
The scientists intend to continue their research on the potential of video games for practical applications. Among other things, they are investigating how people behave in virtual world.
32. What can we learn from Weinmann’s study?
A. The results are far from satisfactory.
B. The participants can play the game freely.
C. It aims to develop intellectual ability.
D. It helps to combine research with practice.
33. What is Weinmann’s attitude to the result of the study?
A. Unclear. B. Intolerant. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
34. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Limitations of the study.
B. Possible directions for future study.
C. The present situation of the study.
D. The explanation of the research method.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. VR games can be used in recruitment
B. VR games can indicate intelligence level
C. VR games improve applicants’ performance
D. VR games have gain popularity in management
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项研究发现虚拟现实游戏可以作为人力资源管理的辅助工具，用于对应聘者的工作能力进行测试。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although many companies are increasingly using VR technology to recruit(招募) candidates, only few studies have specifically investigated whether and how VR games can be used to draw conclusions about intelligence in this area. The study contributes to bridging the gap between research and practice.(尽管许多公司越来越多地使用VR技术来招聘候选人，但只有少数研究专门调查了VR游戏是否以及如何用于得出这一领域的智力结论。这项研究有助于弥合研究与实践之间的空缺。)”可知，该项研究填补了在研究与实践之间的空缺，所以这项研究帮助把研究与实践结合起来。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The new results are in line with this specific application of VR games and show that they can be used for recruiting,” said Weinmann.(新的结果与VR游戏的具体应用相一致，并表明它们可以用于招聘。”)”可知，Weinmann认为这项研究成果可用于招聘中，所以他对研究结果持赞成态度。故选C项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据尾段“The scientists intend to continue their research on the potential of video games for practical applications.

【40题详解】
根据上文提示“To successfully deliver a speech, you need to do a lot of work as well.”（为了成功地发表演讲，你也需要做很多工作。），再根据下文提示“Maybe you also need to prepare some visual(视觉的)aids such as PowerPoint to help your audience understand you well.”（也许你还需要准备一些视觉辅助工具，如PowerPoint，以帮助你的听众更好地理解你。）可知，空前指出要在演讲前做很多工作，空后指出从视觉方面做一些准备，由此可知，空处应该指出从其他的方面做准备，F项“You need to make effective use of your voice to convey your message clearly.”（你需要有效地利用你的声音来清楚地传达你的信息。）切题，指出从声音方面做一些准备。故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了郑和在当时外交活动中所做的贡献。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在此期间，永乐皇帝希望与海外邻国发展和谐的关系。空格处位于名词之前，修饰名词，因此需要填入形容词，harmony的形容词为harmonious表示“和谐的”。故填harmonious。
【57题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：郑和，最有影响力的探险家之一，负责这项任务。空格处位于主语后，描述以前发生的事情，用一般过去时。故填took。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：历史记载中提到的国家之一是博尼（今天的文莱），东南亚的一个小王国。分析句子结构可知，句子中已经有谓语动词，因此空格处需要填入非谓语动词，逻辑主语与动词之间为动宾关系，因此需要填入过去分词表示被动。故填mentioned。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意：有证据表明，中国很久以前就与这个国家建立了非常好的关系：明朝早期，中国的一位国王被埋葬在南京，关于这位国王有一个迷人的传说。分析句子结构可知，空格处位于There be句型的be动词之后，因此需要填入名词。prove的名词为proof表示“证据”；此处的be动词为is，因此填入单数。故填proof。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意：有证据表明，中国很久以前就与这个国家建立了非常好的关系：明朝早期，中国的一位国王被埋葬在南京，关于这位国王有一个迷人的传说。此处位于名词之前，因此需要填入形容词修饰名词，此处修饰物，所以用v-ing形式。故填fascinating。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意：1405年，郑和代表皇帝进行了第一次远洋航行。此处表示“第一次航行”；on voyage表示“航行，在航行中”。故填on。
【62题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：他的舰队满载着送给邻近国家和地区的礼物。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词。load with表示“装满”，本句子中主语为舰队，所以是“舰队被装满……”；本文描述的是过去发生的事情，因此用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was loaded。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：1407年，他访问了博尼，加强了两国之间的友好关系。分析句子结构可知，空格处及后句为非限制性定语从句，句子中缺少主语；从句修饰的是“他访问了博尼”这件事情，因此用which。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：1407年，他访问了博尼，加强了两国之间友好关系。分析句子结构可知，此处位于名词前，因此需要填入冠词；此处特指中国与博尼的关系，因此需要填入定冠词the。故填the。
【65题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：记录显示，游客们对明朝的富裕和科技发达感到惊讶。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，空格及后面的句子为感叹句，空格处需要填入连接词；连接词后为形容词。故填how。

The National Hero In My Heart
As we know, most people have a national hero or heroes in their hearts.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As we know, most people have a national hero or heroes in their hearts. For me, Yuan Longping, a Chinese great agricultural scientist and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, is actually my national hero.
He was born on September 7th, 1930. In the 1960s, China experienced famine and he came up with an idea for hybridizing rice. In 1973, he developed a new way of growing rice and hence new rice was developed. In 1979, his technique for hybrid rice was introduced into the United States, which was the first case of intellectual property rights transfer in the history of China. With the development of new rice, gone are the days when Chinese people suffer from terrible starvation, and more countries of the world are able to grow more rice to feed the growing world population.
We should learn from him the spirit of striving for the well-being of mankind. His perseverance, indifference to personal fame and fortune, his devotion to research work and profound insight are also great merits we should follow!

67. 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。
It was my first time to ski and I had been persuaded to come along with a group of friends who had booked a hotel for us all. Everyone else there had at least some experience of skiing in the past and all throughout the flight to Geneva they were talking funny stories about past trips to towns and villages I hadn’t even heard of.
While I knew I was in for a really good time, a little part of me was wondering whether I had made a mistake by joining such experienced skiers for a week in the Alps(阿尔卑斯山), when I had never even had a single skiing lesson on proper snow, that is to say real snow.
We arrived at the hotel in the afternoon and my training lessons didn’t start until the following morning. There was no way that I was going to stay behind and watch everyone else go out to enjoy the slopes(斜坡)without me, so I grabbed my stuff and headed out with the rest of them. Harriet, a member of our group, took pity on me and offered to pair up, giving me some tips on how to get started.
I had been planning hitting the ski track for months and now I arrived and I was about to feel the rush. The excitement started to spread. But on this occasion, it really was my first outing, and I was seriously nervous. I always loved snow, I loved throwing snowballs with my friends as a kid. but now I felt I was out of my comfort zone and, after I equipped myself, I was shaking all over nervously.
I tried to go forward. For all of about ten meters, I fell to the ground again and again. My instructor, Paul, was near and he was trying too hard not to laugh. I was feeling a little bit ashamed. Again to my feet, again to the ground.
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。
And the pattern continued until finally I caught my balance.

With proper lessons the following days, I improved quickly.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
And the pattern continued until finally I caught my balance. How excited I was! However, I didn’t dare to move in the slightest for fear that my run would come to a sudden end. From a few feet behind, Harriet and Paul were shouting something cheering, trying to encourage me. Then I moved a little, I probably only covered a small distance of several meters but how amazing it was. Whenever I was at a loss what to do in practice, my only resort would be recreating that feeling—my love for snow. “Whatever happens in my training over the coming week,” I said to myself, “I will try my best!”
With proper lessons the following days, I improved quickly. I had a really good progressing time with the other beginners with the help of Paul, a really patient teacher. But, of course, I was impatient to join my friends on the more daring runs they were telling me about over dinner in the hotel each evening. They just listened to me with smiles, wishing me to join them as soon as possible. On my last lesson, I was told by Paul that I could join them that day. Wow! It was my time to show!
【解析】
【导语】本文以事情的发展为线索展开，讲述了作者被朋友们说服一起去滑雪的经历，到到阿尔卑斯山后开始了真正的滑雪课，在训练成员Harries和教练Paul的建议与帮助下，作者经历了一次又一次的跌倒，又一次又一次地站立起来。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“这种模式一直持续到最后我找到了平衡。”可知，第一段可描写作者在找到这种平衡后的感受及接下来的做法。
②由第二段首句内容“在接下来的几天里，通过适当的课程，我进步很快。”可知，第二段可以描写自己取得进步后的期待。
2.续写线索：找到平衡——朋友鼓励——逐渐自信——进步迅速——加入滑雪队——感悟

M: I don’t think it will be a problem. It’s only Monday. They shouldn’t be booked up yet. Give them a call.
W: I’ll do that right away. Then this afternoon I will go to town and buy dad a present.
M: Get him a birthday cake as well.
W: No, I think I’ll make one myself. It feels nicer when someone has made an effort.

【解析】
【原文】M: Hello everyone and welcome to the garden seminar. We all know that plants grow well in warm and sunny places, but we aren’t all lucky enough to live somewhere like that. Bill and Sally Jones live in a high, windy area — not ideal for gardening — but they are also champion vegetable growers. How do they do it? Well, we all know that vegetables need plenty of water — not just a few drops or a few pints, but gallons of it. It rains a lot where the Jones family live, so they have a good water supply. It’s also very open, so they get enough sunlight. The real enemy is the wind. They tried different ways of protecting the plants — planting trees for shelter and building fences — but what they use now for the more delicate plants are glass houses. With several of these they are able to grow plants which would not normally survive in their location. By adapting to the conditions in which they live, Bill and Sally have developed a winning way with their crops. And their experience can serve as a lesson for other growers who experience similar difficulties.

Archan Chan recalls her first experience working in a Chinese restaurant more than 14 years ago. Employed as an apprentice (学徒) chef, she was one of just two women in the kitchen — the other’s only job was to beat eggs. “She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess for a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchen back then, you had to be the best in something,” she says.
Today, Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook, one of Hong Kong’s most popular restaurants. After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapore, she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top of a high-end Chinese restaurant. That’s an impressive achievement, given how unbelievably challenging it has been for women to show in high-end Chinese kitchens.
Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world. But the situation is even severer in Chinese kitchens. There’s no denying the work is physically demanding — an empty pot weighs about 2.2 kilograms. In the past, few chefs would risk employing a female trainee into that tough environment.
Given all of these barriers, not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs of a shift in mindset — the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.
“Even if it’s a kitchen almost full of men, all everyone cares about is food — the cooking. They don’t care if you’re a male or female. Gender shouldn’t matter,” Chan says.
“Yes, there is a physical barrier but I think the mental barrier may be more of a barrier to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens,”Chan adds. “It isn’t just about how much you want it but how much hard work you’re willing to put into it. There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can’t move them anymore, but the next day, you’re stronger and may be able to work a heavier work.”
24. What can we learn about Archan Chan?
A. She got a rapid promotion.
B. She does best in beating eggs.
C. She is the best female chef in China.
D. She made a great achievement in her career.
25. What’s a cause of very few female chefs in professional kitchens?
A. Kitchen is a tough place for women.
B. Women are afraid of physical work.
C. Customers care about the gender of the chef.
D. Women face both mental and physical barriers.
26. Which of the following can best describe Archan Chan?
A. Strong-willed. B. Open-minded.
C. Cool-headed. D. Kind-hearted.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Female chefs have risen to the top.
B. Female chefs have long been a minority.
C. Female chefs are proving doubters wrong.
D. Female chefs are replacing male chefs gradually.

Ever been hungry enough to eat a house? Now, you actually could.
Food waste is a big problem in Japan and globally. Japan produced around 5.7 million tons of food waste in 2019. The government plans to reduce that by around 2.7 million tons by 2030. Tokyo University researchers Kota Machida and Yuya Sakai have developed a way to transform food waste into cement (水泥) for construction use and more. This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste. The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature — it’s also eatable.
Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming. As expected, something this unique took years to develop. It took a few attempts to find just the right process. Kota and Yuya created the unique technology while researching possible environment-friendly materials to replace cement-based concrete. Cement production accounts for 8% of the world’s carbon dioxide release.
After a few failures, they realized they could get the cement to bind (黏合) by adjusting the temperatures. “The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures,” Yuya said. So the researchers had to observe them and respond in time. In the experiments, Kota and Yuya have successfully made cement using tea leaves, coffee grounds, cabbage and even lunchbox leftovers.
Fabula Inc. is currently working to make tea cups and furniture, but Yuya is thinking a little bit bigger. Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. “For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement,” he said. To eat the material, a person needs to break it apart and boil it.
28. What’s mainly talked about in paragraph 1 and 2?
A. The functions of this particular cement.
B. The effects of food waste in the whole world.
C. The characteristics of the newly made cement.
D. The process of transforming food waste to cement.
29 Which is one of Kota and Yuya’s purposes in making use of food waste?
A. To handle global climate change.
B. To extend concrete’s service life.
C. To offer Fabula Inc. more cement.
D. To warn how serious food waste is.
30. What made the experiment of making cement out of food waste harder?
A. Making sure to make cement tasty.
B. Selecting correct food waste timely.
C. Getting cement broken apart easily.
D. Adjusting the temperatures constantly.
31. What does the underlined word “makeshift” in the last paragraph mean?
A. bendable. B. commercial. C. recyclable. D. temporary.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种用粮食垃圾制造的一种新型可以食用的水泥。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste. The researchers say their product is four times as strong as traditional concrete. This particular cement can be used to make things like tea cups or chairs as well. However, there’s one additional feature — it’s also eatable. (这是第一个完全从食物垃圾中制造水泥的过程。研究人员表示，他们的产品的强度是传统混凝土的四倍。这种特殊的水泥也可以用来制作茶杯或椅子之类的东西。然而，它还有一个额外的特点——它也是可以吃的。)”可知，这两段主要讨论了新制水泥的特点。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming. (Kota和Yuya是Fabula公司成立背后的智慧，这家公司的宗旨是减少食物浪费，帮助对抗全球变暖。)”可知，Kota和Yuya利用食物垃圾是为了应对全球气候变化。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures. (最具挑战性的部分是每种食物垃圾需要不同的温度。)”可知，需要不断调节温度让从食物垃圾中制造水泥的实验变得更加困难。故选D项。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. (他们的产品可以在灾难中以可食用的紧急避难所的形式提供救济。)”说明他们的产品可以用作临时紧急避难所，从而推知划线词句“For example, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement. (例如，如果食物不能送到人们手中，他们可以吃用食品水泥做成的makeshift床。)”其中划线词汇意思为“临时的，暂时的”，即：如果赈灾食品不能及时到位，被困人员可以吃食品水泥做成的临时床救急，故选D项。

Virtual reality gamers (VR game) who finished it faster than their fellow gamers also have higher levels of general intelligence and processing capacity. This was the result of a study conducted by Markus Weinmann from the University of Cologne. The results also indicate that virtual reality games can be useful supplementary (补充) human resource management tools in companies for predicting the job performance of an applicant.
Several studies have already shown that video games may indicate or even help to develop intellectual and cognitive abilities. As intelligence is one of the most commonly used predictors for job performance, video games could be interesting for the human resource management. Although many companies are increasingly using VR technology to recruit (招募) candidates, only few studies have specifically investigated whether and how VR games can be used to draw conclusions about intelligence in this area. The study contributes to bridging the gap between research and practice.
Weinmann invited 103 participants to their lab. Under controlled laboratory conditions, they played the commercial VR game “Job Simulator”and completed the short version of the intelligence test BIS-4. The researcher’s analyses show that an increase of 17% in processing capacity correlated with less time spent playing the game (by an average of 3.7 minutes).
The results are a scientific novelty, as it has hardly been possible to conduct VR studies with state-of-the-art VR hardware. There are thus few studies that have investigated the correlation between behavior in VR and intelligence, “There are already some companies that use games, so-called ‘serious games’, for recruiting. The new results are in line with this specific application of VR games and show that they can be used for recruiting,” said Weinmann.
The scientists intend to continue their research on the potential of video games for practical applications. Among other things, they are investigating how people behave in virtual world.
32. What can we learn from Weinmann’s study?
A. The results are far from satisfactory.
B. The participants can play the game freely.
C. It aims to develop intellectual ability.
D. It helps to combine research with practice.
33. What is Weinmann’s attitude to the result of the study?
A. Unclear. B. Intolerant. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
34. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Limitations of the study.
B. Possible directions for future study.
C. The present situation of the study.
D. The explanation of the research method.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. VR games can be used in recruitment
B. VR games can indicate intelligence level
C. VR games improve applicants’ performance
D. VR games have gain popularity in management
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项研究发现虚拟现实游戏可以作为人力资源管理的辅助工具，用于对应聘者的工作能力进行测试。

As for the preparation, you should start with an audience analysis and decide on a speech topic and purpose.”（公开演讲通常包括两个主要阶段的工作。至于准备，你应该从分析听众开始，然后决定演讲的主题和目的。），可知，公共演讲前要了解观众。承接上文，G项“The more you know about your audience, the better you will prepare the speech.”（你对听众了解得越多，你的演讲准备得就越好。）切题。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文提示“After you analyze your audience and set a speech objective, you need to gather materials to support your idea.”（在你分析了你的听众并设定了演讲目标之后，你需要收集材料来支持你的观点。），再根据下文提示“After you gather enough materials about the topic, you then need to organize them clearly and logically.”（在你收集了足够的材料之后，你就需要把它们清晰而有逻辑地组织起来。）可知，空前指出公开演讲前要收集材料，空后指出收集材料之后所做的事，由此可知，空处应该承上启下，指出怎么收集材料，E项“You can gather these materials from the Internet or your personal experience.”（你可以从网上或你的个人经历中收集这些材料。）切题。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据下文提示“In a speech, shorter and simpler words and sentences are preferred to long and complex ones so that the listening audience will understand well.”（在演讲中，较短较简单的单词和句子要比较长较复杂的单词和句子好，这样听众才能更好地理解。）可知，演讲的语言和写的内容是不同的。顺承下文，D项“The language of a speech tends to be different from that of writing.”（演讲的语言往往不同于写作的语言。）切题。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据上文提示“To successfully deliver a speech, you need to do a lot of work as well.”（为了成功地发表演讲，你也需要做很多工作。），再根据下文提示“Maybe you also need to prepare some visual(视觉的)aids such as PowerPoint to help your audience understand you well.”（也许你还需要准备一些视觉辅助工具，如PowerPoint，以帮助你的听众更好地理解你。）可知，空前指出要在演讲前做很多工作，空后指出从视觉方面做一些准备，由此可知，空处应该指出从其他的方面做准备，F项“You need to make effective use of your voice to convey your message clearly.”（你需要有效地利用你的声音来清楚地传达你的信息。）切题，指出从声音方面做一些准备。故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了郑和在当时外交活动中所做的贡献。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在此期间，永乐皇帝希望与海外邻国发展和谐的关系。空格处位于名词之前，修饰名词，因此需要填入形容词，harmony的形容词为harmonious表示“和谐的”。故填harmonious。
【57题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：郑和，最有影响力的探险家之一，负责这项任务。空格处位于主语后，描述以前发生的事情，用一般过去时。故填took。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：历史记载中提到的国家之一是博尼（今天的文莱），东南亚的一个小王国。分析句子结构可知，句子中已经有谓语动词，因此空格处需要填入非谓语动词，逻辑主语与动词之间为动宾关系，因此需要填入过去分词表示被动。故填mentioned。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意：有证据表明，中国很久以前就与这个国家建立了非常好的关系：明朝早期，中国的一位国王被埋葬在南京，关于这位国王有一个迷人的传说。分析句子结构可知，空格处位于There be句型的be动词之后，因此需要填入名词。prove的名词为proof表示“证据”；此处的be动词为is，因此填入单数。故填proof。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意：有证据表明，中国很久以前就与这个国家建立了非常好的关系：明朝早期，中国的一位国王被埋葬在南京，关于这位国王有一个迷人的传说。此处位于名词之前，因此需要填入形容词修饰名词，此处修饰物，所以用v-ing形式。故填fascinating。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意：1405年，郑和代表皇帝进行了第一次远洋航行。此处表示“第一次航行”；on voyage表示“航行，在航行中”。故填on。
【62题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：他的舰队满载着送给邻近国家和地区的礼物。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词。load with表示“装满”，本句子中主语为舰队，所以是“舰队被装满……”；本文描述的是过去发生的事情，因此用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was loaded。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：1407年，他访问了博尼，加强了两国之间的友好关系。分析句子结构可知，空格处及后句为非限制性定语从句，句子中缺少主语；从句修饰的是“他访问了博尼”这件事情，因此用which。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：1407年，他访问了博尼，加强了两国之间友好关系。分析句子结构可知，此处位于名词前，因此需要填入冠词；此处特指中国与博尼的关系，因此需要填入定冠词the。故填the。
【65题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：记录显示，游客们对明朝的富裕和科技发达感到惊讶。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，空格及后面的句子为感叹句，空格处需要填入连接词；连接词后为形容词。故填how。

The National Hero In My Heart
As we know, most people have a national hero or heroes in their hearts.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As we know, most people have a national hero or heroes in their hearts. For me, Yuan Longping, a Chinese great agricultural scientist and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, is actually my national hero.
He was born on September 7th, 1930. In the 1960s, China experienced famine and he came up with an idea for hybridizing rice. In 1973, he developed a new way of growing rice and hence new rice was developed. In 1979, his technique for hybrid rice was introduced into the United States, which was the first case of intellectual property rights transfer in the history of China. With the development of new rice, gone are the days when Chinese people suffer from terrible starvation, and more countries of the world are able to grow more rice to feed the growing world population.
We should learn from him the spirit of striving for the well-being of mankind. His perseverance, indifference to personal fame and fortune, his devotion to research work and profound insight are also great merits we should follow!

67. 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。
It was my first time to ski and I had been persuaded to come along with a group of friends who had booked a hotel for us all. Everyone else there had at least some experience of skiing in the past and all throughout the flight to Geneva they were talking funny stories about past trips to towns and villages I hadn’t even heard of.
While I knew I was in for a really good time, a little part of me was wondering whether I had made a mistake by joining such experienced skiers for a week in the Alps(阿尔卑斯山), when I had never even had a single skiing lesson on proper snow, that is to say real snow.
We arrived at the hotel in the afternoon and my training lessons didn’t start until the following morning. There was no way that I was going to stay behind and watch everyone else go out to enjoy the slopes(斜坡)without me, so I grabbed my stuff and headed out with the rest of them. Harriet, a member of our group, took pity on me and offered to pair up, giving me some tips on how to get started.
I had been planning hitting the ski track for months and now I arrived and I was about to feel the rush. The excitement started to spread. But on this occasion, it really was my first outing, and I was seriously nervous. I always loved snow, I loved throwing snowballs with my friends as a kid. but now I felt I was out of my comfort zone and, after I equipped myself, I was shaking all over nervously.
I tried to go forward. For all of about ten meters, I fell to the ground again and again. My instructor, Paul, was near and he was trying too hard not to laugh. I was feeling a little bit ashamed. Again to my feet, again to the ground.
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。
And the pattern continued until finally I caught my balance.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With proper lessons the following days, I improved quickly.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
And the pattern continued until finally I caught my balance. How excited I was! However, I didn’t dare to move in the slightest for fear that my run would come to a sudden end. From a few feet behind, Harriet and Paul were shouting something cheering, trying to encourage me. Then I moved a little, I probably only covered a small distance of several meters but how amazing it was. Whenever I was at a loss what to do in practice, my only resort would be recreating that feeling—my love for snow. “Whatever happens in my training over the coming week,” I said to myself, “I will try my best!”
With proper lessons the following days, I improved quickly. I had a really good progressing time with the other beginners with the help of Paul, a really patient teacher. But, of course, I was impatient to join my friends on the more daring runs they were telling me about over dinner in the hotel each evening. They just listened to me with smiles, wishing me to join them as soon as possible. On my last lesson, I was told by Paul that I could join them that day. Wow! It was my time to show!
【解析】
【导语】本文以事情的发展为线索展开，讲述了作者被朋友们说服一起去滑雪的经历，到到阿尔卑斯山后开始了真正的滑雪课，在训练成员Harries和教练Paul的建议与帮助下，作者经历了一次又一次的跌倒，又一次又一次地站立起来。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“这种模式一直持续到最后我找到了平衡。”可知，第一段可描写作者在找到这种平衡后的感受及接下来的做法。
②由第二段首句内容“在接下来的几天里，通过适当的课程，我进步很快。”可知，第二段可以描写自己取得进步后的期待。
2.续写线索：找到平衡——朋友鼓励——逐渐自信——进步迅速——加入滑雪队——感悟
3.词汇激活（一个词汇要写出相近的表达）
行为类
①鼓励：encourage/inspire/motivate
