【解析】
【原文】W: Karl, you live in a lonely village, don’t you?
M: Ah, not as much as it used to be. My village is on the east coast of Greenland. Boats from Denmark bring us supplies. And air transport is now the most important method to and from Greenland, and within the island too, as we hardly have any roads.
W: Mmm. Maybe you’ve got the Internet to help you keep in touch?
M: We certainly have. Greenland has moved into the digital age and many people in my village go to an office. They sit at a desk using a computer to do business worldwide. In the old days, people’s work meant fishing in a boat. The modern lifestyle is easier but a lot less exciting.
W: Mmm, you sound a little regretful.
M: In some ways, maybe I am. Our grandparents had amazing skills. They used every piece of skin, fat and bone to make all the things they needed, like clothes, fuel and tools by hand. My grandpa used to hunt with a gun. He often told me the tales of danger and excitement. They attracted me more than the Internet games.

【原文】M: Hello, everyone. In a few minutes we’ll be setting off on our trip to the Palace of Kom Ombane. There are a few things I should mention before we go, so please pay careful attention. Now, there are three groups of us on this trip, and we’ll be using three tourist buses to get to and from the palace. They each have numbers on the front, and ours is Bus 2. The palace is probably going to be very busy, so please stay close to me when we get there. If you lose me, head for the main gate which is opposite the ticket office, and you’ll find me there. Now, these days, the palace is a museum, but you’ll be surprised to hear that people still live there. No, they’re not kings or queens but local people who work at the palace, and their families. Many of them wear traditional clothes, so they are good for a photograph. But please ask them if it’s OK before doing this. These people may also offer to sell you small wooden and stone products that they’ve made. They’ll probably ask you for about $20 or so for these, but it’s perfectly acceptable to offer them less.30 percent below the asking price would be an acceptable figure, but please don’t try to go lower than that. OK, that’s all. Now let’s start our enjoyable trip.

With Bookswap, you can give away the books you no longer need and exchange them for new ones that you want to read. The system was created by a team of book-lovers who want to spread the joy of reading and make a positive change in the world.
Ordering Books
When you order a book through Bookswap, you will use one ordering point from your account. When someone orders a book from you and you post it to them, one ordering point is added to your account.
Price List
If you have ordering points, you only pay a small swapping fee of $ 1.2 per ordered book and the delivery cost is $2.6.
If you don’t have any ordering points, the cost of an ordering point is added to your cart (购物车). The cost of an ordering point is $3.
Posting Books
If someone orders several books within the same order, then they should be sent together. If the parcel goes over the set weight/size limit, Hermes Delivery can charge a bit extra for the delivery, but this is covered by us and should affect neither the sender nor the receiver of the book(s).
Cancelling Orders
Cancelling your order is allowable if the order has not been posted. Used ordering points are returned almost immediately to your Bookswap account, and monetary refunds (退款) can take up to 5 — 10 business days to appear back in your bank account. You can then choose whether to give reasons for cancelling the order according to your own wishes.
21. How much should you pay to order two books if you have enough ordering points?

B
Over the years I’ve learned to project confidence, even though I still question the validity of my question right up to the moment I start to talk. But I also know a critical question can be invaluable. I hope to receive such questions when I give a talk, and I teach my students to lean into them. So, I asked the presenter to put the data slides back and drilled into them for minutes. I posed an alternative idea; the presenter pushed back. Others had questions, so I sat down. It was a tense but healthy debate.
But this exchange didn’t happen at a scientific meeting. It was at an informational session at my child’s elementary school. The speaker had presented data showing pupils’ math test scores had increased, which the school attributed to its teaching method emphasizing storytelling and group discussion. I had countered that, because the school did not keep statistics on which children were tutored. It was impossible to determine whether its teaching method or the tutoring was responsible for the test score gains.
I had hoped I was helping the school and the research group. That’s not how they saw it. Within days of the meeting, the principal called me into her office to tell me that my behavior was “a threat to the democratic values of the school”.
I felt burning shame. I was also confused: I believed I shared the school’s values, so how was my speaking up a threat? I questioned my abilities to advocate for my child and worried this incident would impact him at school.
Was it better to remain silent?
However, with some time and support, I realized I needed to master my courage again. A school mother I didn’t know well confided that she admired what I had said, which added to my confidence that I had done the right thing. Slowly, a tide turned in my mind. I have worked hard at generating and asking probing questions, and it’s a valuable skill. Yes, speaking up can take an emotional suffering-but staying silent would be so much worse.
24. What did the author express doubts about at the school session?
A. The way the data was collected. B. The democratic values of the school.
C. The teaching methods school applied. D. The real reason for children’s progress.
25. What does the underlined word “countered” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. held B. opposed C. conveyed D. accepted
26. How did the author feel about the principal’s talk?
A. Ashamed but motivated. B. Puzzled and discouraged.
C. Annoyed but understandable. D. Regretful and guilty.
27. Why does the author write the story?
A. To help us present a speech. B. To help us answer questions properly.
C. To seek support from readers. D. To encourage us to make our voice heard.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在学校会议上提出了对孩子进步的疑虑，结果遭到了校长的批评，作者虽然感到困惑和气馁，但别人的反馈让作者坚定了自己这么做是正确的信念，并且鼓励我们发出自己的声音。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I had countered that, because the school did not keep statistics on which children were tutored. It was impossible to determine whether its teaching method or the tutoring was responsible for the test score gains.(我反驳说，因为学校没有统计有哪些孩子接受了辅导。无法确定是教学方法还是辅导导致了考试成绩的提高)”可知，作者在学校会议上表达的疑虑是孩子进步的真正原因。故选D。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The speaker had presented data showing pupils’ math test scores had increased, which the school attributed to its teaching method emphasizing storytelling and group discussion.(演讲者展示的数据显示，学生的数学考试成绩有所提高，学校将其归因于其强调讲故事和小组讨论的教学方法)”以及后文“It was impossible to determine whether its teaching method or the tutoring was responsible for the test score gains.(无法确定是教学方法还是辅导导致了考试成绩的提高)”以及“because the school did not keep statistics on which children were tutored(因为学校没有统计哪些孩子接受了辅导)”可知，作者对上文演示者的数据表示反对，因为学校没有统计有哪些孩子接受了辅导。无法确定是教学方法还是辅导导致了考试成绩的提高。故划线词意思是“反对”。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I felt burning shame. I was also confused: I believed I shared the school’s values, so how was my speaking up a threat? I questioned my abilities to advocate for my child and worried this incident would impact him at school.(我感到无比羞愧。我也很困惑：我相信我分享了学校的价值观，那么我的言论怎么能构成威胁呢？我怀疑自己为孩子辩护的能力，担心这件事会影响他在学校的表现)”可推知，作者对校长的谈话感到困惑和气馁。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I have worked hard at generating and asking probing questions, and it’s a valuable skill. Yes, speaking up can take an emotional suffering-but staying silent would be so much worse.(我一直在努力提出并提出探索性的问题，这是一项宝贵的技能。是的，畅所欲言可能会带来情感上的痛苦——但保持沉默会更糟糕)”可推知，作者写这个故事是为了鼓励我们发出自己的声音。故选D。
C
The Tokyo Olympics brought some of the fastest times ever seen on the track. At an astonishing number of races, athletes beat personal bests along with national, Olympic and world records. Elaine Thompson-Herah set a new Olympic record in the women’s 100 metres, breaking Florence Griffith Joyner’s record set over 33 years ago. World records were broken in both the men’s and women’s 400 metres hurdles, by Karsten Warholm and Sydney McLaughlin respectively.
Is this just an unusually good Olympics for record-breaking races or is something different going on? Part of the answer can be found by looking down at an athlete’s feet. If you look closely, you might spot some new technology known as “super spikes (钉鞋)”—and underfoot, there’s a high-tech track.
Recently, track spikes have seen a similar shift in the performance-improving technology that previously took over marathon racing shoes. Traditionally, track spikes have tried to lessen the amount of midsole foam(中底泡沫) to reduce weight and energy absorption. However, new technology is lightweight and the foam is better at returning energy to the athlete, giving back as much as 80 to 90 percent. In this way, the foam acts as a spring with each step the athlete takes.
Another new technology contributing to athletes’ speed in Tokyo is the track. While it may look like a regular track, Mondo, the company behind it, spent three years researching and developing the surface specifically for the Tokyo Olympics. The track has been precisely tuned to allow shock absorption and energy return, playing a similar role to the foam in spikes.
Additionally, the games being delayed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic may actually have benefited some athletes, giving them more time to train. Other factors, such as the weather, could affect how an athlete performs on any given day. And above all, we cannot ignore the effort and talent of the athletes competing in these races. It may just be that we have got a particularly talented crop this year.
28. Why are some excellent athletes mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To explain a trend. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To make a prediction. D. To present a phenomenon.
29. What is the advantage of track spikes used in the Tokyo Olympics?
A. They are eco-friendly. B. They consume more force.
C. They can provide energy. D. They are strong and durable.
30. How does the track in the Tokyo Olympics differ from regular tracks?
A. It looks more attractive. B. It contributes to stable performance.
C. It takes much less time to construct. D. It uses performance-improving technology.
31. What factor does the author stress most at last for the athletes’ good performance?
A. Their super spikes. B. The favorable weather.
C. Their personal abilities. D. The extraordinary track.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍东京奥运会上使用到的新的科学技术。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The Tokyo Olympics brought some of the fastest times ever seen on the track. At an astonishing number of races, athletes beat personal bests along with national, Olympic and world records. Elaine Thompson-Herah set a new Olympic record in the women’s 100 metres, breaking Florence Griffith Joyner’s record set over 33 years ago. World records were broken in both the men’s and women’s 400 metres hurdles, by Karsten Warholm and Sydney McLaughlin respectively.(东京奥运会创造了赛道上最快的成绩。在数量惊人的比赛中，运动员们不仅打破了个人最好纪录，还打破了国家、奥运会和世界纪录。伊莱恩·汤普森-赫拉在女子100米比赛中打破了佛罗伦萨·格里菲斯·乔伊纳在33年前创造的纪录，创造了新的奥运会纪录。男子400米栏和女子400米栏的世界纪录分别被Karsten Warholm和Sydney McLaughlin打破)”可推知，第一段提到了一些优秀的运动员是为了呈现多项纪录被打破这一现象。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, new technology is lightweight and the foam is better at returning energy to the athlete, giving back as much as 80 to 90 percent. In this way, the foam acts as a spring with each step the athlete takes.(然而，新技术重量轻，泡沫能更好地将能量回馈给运动员，最多可回馈80%至90%。这样，运动员每走一步，泡沫就像弹簧一样)”可知，东京奥运会上使用的田径钉鞋的优势是能提供能量。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“While it may look like a regular track, Mondo, the company behind it, spent three years researching and developing the surface specifically for the Tokyo Olympics. The track has been precisely tuned to allow shock absorption and energy return, playing a similar role to the foam in spikes.(虽然它看起来像一个普通的跑道，但它背后的公司Mondo花了三年时间专门为东京奥运会研究和开发这种表面。赛道经过精确调整，可以吸收冲击并返回能量，起到与钉鞋中的泡沫类似的作用)”可知，东京奥运会的跑道与普通跑道的不同在于它使用性能改进技术。故选D。
【31题详解】

D
Check your junk drawer at home, and you’re likely to find a mess of electronic device chargers—many of them probably old-fashioned. Late last week the European Union proposed a new regulation that would solve this problem by requiring all small electronics (including phones, tablets, portable speakers and cameras) to have the same type of charging port. All such electronics sold in the EU would need to switch to the USB-C standard within two years.
European officials declare this universal standard not only increases convenience for consumers but also cuts down on electronic waste. Critics of such measures, including Apple which uses a special charging port on its phones, claim the move will slow down innovation. And when USB-C certainly gives way to the next improved charging method, people will still need to invest in new chargers. The true impact of this law, however, may not be as simple as either side suggests.
“Based on what we know about what’s in the electronic waste stream, the relative reduction in the amount of e-waste is probably going to be relatively small due to chargers alone,” says Callie Babbitt, a professor of sustainability at Researcher Institute of Technology, where she studies electronic waste. “But I think the bigger potential is that this is a good test case for requiring manufacturers to think about standardization and design that is user-friendly for the consumer-and then actually see whether there is an increase in discarding (丢弃) as technology changes or if we actually see a reduction because consumers aren’t replacing products and chargers as frequently,” Babbitt spoke with Scientific American about the scale of the e-waste problem, how researchers want to solve it and whether this new rule is a step in the right direction.
Households across the US discard about just under two million metric tons of electronics a year. And that’s just households. If you start to include businesses, companies and industry, then the number is estimated to perhaps double.
32. Why does the author mention the junk drawer in paragraph 1?
A. To clarify a rule. B. To introduce a topic.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To explain a concept.
33. What’s Apple’s reaction to the EU standard?
A. It is in favor of the standard. B. It pays little attention to the standard.
C. It claims the negative effects of the standard. D. It thinks there’s a long way to meet the standard.
34. What does Babbirt think about the new regulation?
A. It will reduce a large amount of e-waste.
B. It will contribute to other technology changes.
C. It is a step in the wrong direction of reducing e waste.
D. It is a good try for standardization and user-friendly design.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A universal standard for charging port B. Traditional chargers: old-fashioned
C. A new regulation about e waste D. E-waste: a global concern
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。上周晚些时候，欧盟提出了一项新规定，要求所有小型电子产品（包括手机、平板电脑、便携式扬声器和相机）使用相同类型的充电端口，以解决电子设备充电器带来过多垃圾的问题。对此不同的人有不同的看法。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Check your junk drawer at home, and you’re likely to find a mess of electronic device chargers—many of them probably old-fashioned. Late last week the European Union proposed a new regulation that would solve this problem by requiring all small electronics (including phones, tablets, portable speakers and cameras) to have the same type of charging port.(检查一下家里的杂物抽屉，你很可能会发现一堆电子设备充电器——其中许多可能已经过时了。上周晚些时候，欧盟提出了一项新规定，要求所有小型电子产品（包括手机、平板电脑、便携式扬声器和相机）使用相同类型的充电端口，以解决这一问题)”可推知，作者在第一段提到了杂物抽屉是为了引入话题。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Critics of such measures, including Apple which uses a special charging port on its phones, claim the move will slow down innovation.(对此类措施持批评态度的人，包括在其手机上使用特殊充电接口的苹果公司，声称此举将减缓创新)”可知，苹果公司声称该标准的负面影响。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But I think the bigger potential is that this is a good test case for requiring manufacturers to think about standardization and design that is user-friendly for the consumer-and then actually see whether there is an increase in discarding (丢弃) as technology changes or if we actually see a reduction because consumers aren’t replacing products and chargers as frequently(但我认为更大的潜力在于，这是一个很好的测试案例，要求制造商考虑标准化和对消费者友好的设计，然后看看随着技术的变化，丢弃是否会增加，或者我们是否会看到减少，因为消费者不经常更换产品和充电器)”可知，巴伯特认为新规定是标准化和对消费者友好的设计的一次很好的尝试。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Late last week the European Union proposed a new regulation that would solve this problem by requiring all small electronics (including phones, tablets, portable speakers and cameras) to have the same type of charging port. All such electronics sold in the EU would need to switch to the USB-C standard within two years.(上周晚些时候，欧盟提出了一项新规定，要求所有小型电子产品（包括手机、平板电脑、便携式扬声器和相机）使用相同类型的充电端口，以解决这一问题。在欧盟销售的所有此类电子产品都需要在两年内切换到USB-C标准)”结合文章列举了不同的人对此的不同看法。可知，故A选项“通用的充电接口标准”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了让孩子在高中走上成功道路的方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Even though teens are seeking independence, parental involvement is an important ingredient for academic success.(尽管青少年正在寻求独立，但父母的参与是学业成功的一个重要因素)”结合后文介绍了让青少年适应高中生活的建议，故D选项“这里有几种方法可以让你的孩子在高中走上成功的道路”符合语境，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据后文“Although in high school, staff usually set these up only when parental involvement is needed to address issues like behavior problems and poor academic performance.(虽然在高中，学校人员通常只有在需要家长参与解决行为问题和学习成绩差等问题时才会设置这些)”可知，后文提到了让家长参与解决行为问题和学习成绩差等问题，可推测是通过参加家长会了解情况。故C选项“参加家长会是另一种了解情况的方式”符合语境，故选C。
【38题详解】
根据后文“It means no phone, TV, or websites other than homework-related resources.(这意味着除了与家庭工作相关的资源外，没有电话、电视或网站)”可知，后文提到了“除了与家庭工作相关的资源外，没有电话、电视或网站”，即没有其他东西的干扰，故F选项“一种帮助的方法是确保你的孩子有一个没有干扰的学习场所”符合语境，故选F。
【39题详解】
根据后文“A nutritious breakfast fuels up teens and gets them ready for the day. In general, teens who eat breakfast have more energy and do better in school. You can help boost your teen’s attention span, concentration, and memory by providing proper breakfast foods.(一顿营养丰富的早餐为青少年提供能量，让他们为新的一天做好准备。一般来说，吃早餐的青少年精力更充沛，在学校表现也更好。你可以通过提供适当的早餐食物来帮助提高孩子的注意力、注意力和记忆力)”可知，后文提到了给青少年吃早餐的好处，即让孩子去学校准备学习。故A选项“让你的孩子去学校准备学习”符合语境，故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Make time to talk about school. Many teens spend so much of the day outside the home: at school, on extracurricular activities, or with peers.(找时间聊聊学校。许多青少年每天花很多时间在户外：在学校、参加课外活动或与同龄人在一起)”以及后文“Still, you should make efforts to talk with your teen every day and he or she will know their parents are interested in their academic lives.(尽管如此，你应该努力每天和你的孩子交谈，他或她会知道他们的父母对他们的学术生活感兴趣)”可知，上文提到了青少年没什么时间和父亲和监护人在一起，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出和青少年保持联系的挑战性。故G选项“因此，对父母和监护人来说，与他们保持联系可能是一项挑战”符合语境，故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一件来自18世纪乾隆时期的中国花瓶在伦敦拍卖，售价创世界纪录。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一件追溯至18世纪乾隆王朝的中国花瓶在伦敦以创世界纪录的7 000万美元成交。分析句子结构，本句的谓语为has sold，所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语A Chinese vase和date之间是主谓关系，所以应用现在分词的一般式，作后置定语。故填dating。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意：它被称为一部杰作。be described as为固定搭配，意为“被描述为，被称为”。故填as。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意：它的罕有和美丽在古董界引起了极大的轰动。这里应用形容词修饰空后名词。exceptional意为“特别的，罕见的”。故填exceptional。
【59题详解】
考查主谓一致、时态和语态。句意：它是在伦敦西北部平纳的一间平房里的一次房屋清理中被发现的。根据句中的时间状语“during a house clearance”，这里表示过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。It指代A Chinese vase，表示单数，且和discover之间是动宾关系，所以应用一般过去时的被动语态，且谓语应用单数。故填was discovered。
【60题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意：《古董贸易公报》的编辑Ivan Macquisten说，所有者不知道它有多值钱。分析句子结构，空处引导同位语从句，对被修饰词idea进行解释说明。根据空后的valuable，这里应用how修饰形容词，表示“如何，怎样”。故填how。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意：起初，我想他们根本不知道自己持有一件特殊产品。这里应用副词修饰整个句子，其中“I don’t think”是插入语。originally意为“起初”。故填Originally。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它可能是在19世纪60年代左右从中国传来的，当时宫殿被侵占。分析句子结构，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the 1860s，且在从句中作时间状语，所以应用when引导。故填when。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这笔巨款据信是由一位来自中国大陆的买家支付的。Sb./Sth. be believed to do sth.为固定句型，意为“据信某人/某物做某事”。且The huge sum和pay之间是动宾关系，所以应用被动形式。pay表示的动作发生在is believed之前，所以应用不定式的完成被动形式，即to have been done的形式。故填to have been paid。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：专家表示，这个价格反映了一小部分非常富有的人对获得最好的中国艺术品的强烈愿望。a small number of...意为“一小部分……”，为固定搭配。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在班布里奇有庆祝活动，这是伦敦西部瑞斯利普的小型拍卖行，这场拍卖会就在这里举办。celebration意为“庆祝活动”，为可数名词。根据空前的were，这里应用名词的复数形式。故填celebrations。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My parents grew up poor. But as a family, we were comfortable, though we didn’t have much what would be considered luxuries. One year, my father went on a trip to Italy and brought my mother an opal ring. It was her favorite stone, and she cherished that ring. It represented Dad’s love for her.
Dad died at the age of 53 in 1980 after a grueling battle with cancer. Mom was working at Burlington Coat Factory Department store. She usually wore the ring to work. Over the years, the ring became impossible for my Mom to wear because of her swollen knuckles (指关节). I had the ring fitted with a clasp so that Mom could wear it again. She took great pride in the frequent compliments as she got on that ring.
One day during her shift, the ring slipped off. She didn’t realize it until the following day. Mom was sad. The ring did not have a high monetary value, but it meant as much to her as life itself. I decided to go and look for it.
I encountered Chloe, one of my Mom’s co-workers at my Mom’s workplace. She led me to the store where Mom worked, and then left. It was packed with clothes, racks and tables. I started row by row crawling on the floor to see if I could find the ring underneath all the clothes. When I got to the last row and hadn’t found the ring, the thought occurred to me that it might have fallen into the pocket of a coat as my Mom was hanging or rearranging the clothes. I started feeling around in the pockets of some of the coats, but quickly abandoned. There were at least 20,000 pieces of clothing in that department. The attempt seemed useless.
注意：续写的词数应为150左右;
I stood by a small table in disappointment when Chloe came in.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I called my Mom and now I was choking back tears.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I stood by a small table in disappointment when Chloe came in. “Have you found the ring?” she asked curiously. “No, I have already got to the last row but in vain. Maybe I should search all the coats here.” Looking at over 20,000 pieces clothing, Chloe lent a helping hand, “It’s not an easy task.” We opened one pocket after another, going to the second room, and then the third. We two were sweating heavily with red faces. Suddenly, I burst out screaming, “Yes! That’s it!” Chole ran to me quickly. She patted my arm gently, “tell your mom, dear.”
I called my Mom and now I was choking back tears. “Mom, good news!” I could tell how happy my Mom was by her laughter. After all, it meant a lot. I thanked Chole and went home. The moment I stepped out the store, the night sky was lit up by flashes of light quietly. Tring as it was, the recovery of this precious ring bought greater pleasure.
