W: Well, the Hotel Sunshine is the only one which has a gym and it’s also got one of the top health centers in the area. It’s next to a lake so you can do water sports there. But if you really like sailing or waterskiing, then the Highland Hotel would probably be the best place because it offers great instruction programs in these sports.
M: Actually, I’m not a sporty person.
W: OK. Well, what about the Carminia Hotel? It prides itself on its cinema and multimedia center. You can also play golf there. And then there is the Royal Hotel. It’s brand new and it has a conference room, a meeting room, and free computer access, but it’s not really suitable for children; there’s not much in the way of entertainment.
M: Well, I’m going on holiday, not to work, and it’s just my wife and me so I think we’ll book the Carminia Hotel, please.

18. Where is the speaker now?
A. In a hospital. B. In a college. C. In a pet school.
19. In which aspect is a visit from a dog helpful?
A. It cures the patients. B. It makes patients feel better. C. It helps do a lot of things.
20. What are the dogs first trained to do in the program?
A. Play with patients and their children.
B. Accompany patients to their hospital rooms.
C. Be familiar with the hospital and pick up things.
【答案】18. A 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】M: Welcome to the Four-Footed Friends Visit Day at Fairfield Hospital. The “Four-Footed Friends” program is for dog owners who volunteer to bring their dogs to visit people who are ill in hospital. As any Four-Footed Friends volunteer will tell you, a weekly visit from a dog can make hospital patients feel less lonely and less afraid. It gives them something to look forward to when their new “four-footed friend” visits them each week. And that’s not all. Nurses often tell us that patients’ blood pressure and heart rate return to normal levels after a visit. I'm not suggesting that our dogs can cure patients, but I’ve seen for myself that they do make people feel better. Even patients who are feeling very discouraged look much happier the moment they see their dogs approaching. I’d like to say a little about the training program now. The first thing we have to do is get our dogs familiar with hospitals and their unusual sights, sounds and smells. Our dogs must also be trained to pick up things for patients. For example children are always dropping their toys, and older people tend to drop things like their glasses. We can’t take them to a real hospital until we have seen how they perform at the college.

Tired of working in IT and staying the same in Australia, Paulo Cattanco decided to make a change. In 2015 he started a strict budget so he could save up enough money to buy his dream KTM1190 motorbike, a camera, and enough funds to support himself for a few years.
Then he gave up his job, packed his things, and set off on an adventure, travelling the world on his motorbike. Paulo,39, has spent the last four years biking through Australia. South America, North America, and Europe, riding up to 12 hours a day and spending his nights in his tent under the stars.
“Australia for me was my first experience riding long distance and I was mind-blown by the beauty of the old continent.” Paulo wrote on his travel journal, “Traveling through Latin America, I explored the rainforest and learned Spanish and Portuguese. Mexico has some of the best food I ever had and Peru is an interesting place where I can enjoy the unique local Indian culture, also called Inca civilization.”
Paulo has managed to keep his travels going by keeping his budget tight, so he hasn’t had to get a job for his travels. To keep costs low, he seldom looked for accommodation in hotels and went camping instead. Thankfully, the motorbike, which Paulo bought second hand in Australia, has not required any major repairs since he set off. The journey isn’t always easy, but Paulo has never looked back.
Sadly, the Covid-19 pandemic put a stop to his travels in Greece when he traveled around Europe, and Paulo has had to spend the last few months in Italy, his homeland. Once the world is back up and running, he plans to return to life on the road and explore Asia and Africa.
24. What did Paulo begin to do in 2015?
A. He switched his occupation. B. He started a travel adventure.
C. He carried out a saving plan. D. He purchased travel equipment.
25. What do we know about Paulo’s journey?
A. He enjoyed the best food in Peru. B. The motorbike often troubled him.
C. He got a job to support his travel. D. The view in Australia appealed to him.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Paulo?
A. Determined and adventurous. B. Intelligent and economical.
C. Ambitious and idealistic. D. Humble and knowledgeable.
27. Where is the text probably from?
A. A fitness magazine. B. A travel journal.
C. A lifestyle website. D. A sports column.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Paulo Cattanco放弃工作，骑着摩托车环游世界的经历，虽然他的冒险旅程因为新冠疫情而不得不中断，但是他从未放弃他的冒险梦。

推理判断题。根据第二段中“Then he gave up his job, packed his things, and set off on an adventure, travelling the world on his motorbike.(然后他放弃了工作，收拾好行李，开始了一段冒险之旅，骑着他的摩托车环游世界。)”可知，Paulo喜欢冒险，和第四段中“Paulo has managed to keep his travels going by keeping his budget tight, so he hasn’t had to get a job for his travels. To keep costs low, he seldom looked for accommodation in hotels and went camping instead.(保罗通过保持紧缩的预算来维持他的旅行，这样他就不用为他的旅行找工作了。为了保持低成本，他很少在旅馆住宿，而是去露营。)”可知，虽然预算紧张，但是Paulo没有放弃自己的旅行梦想，所以说他很有决心，故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Paulo Cattanco放弃工作，骑着摩托车环游世界的经历，虽然他的冒险旅程因为新冠疫情而不得不中断，但是他从未放弃他的冒险梦。由此可知，文章讲的是Paulo Cattanco所追求的一种生活方式，所以文章可能选自一个有关生活方式的网站，故选C。

In recent years, towns across Italy have been racing to launch plans aimed at attracting new residents to revive the towns. From abandoned homes selling for a euro, to ready-to-occupy houses at low prices, there has been a tendency for competition.
The picturesque town of Presicce is the latest to enter the game with a very alluring offer. Officials say they will pay people up to 30,000 euros to buy an empty house and take up residency. Even better, the houses for sale as part of the deal are priced around 25,000 euros. The cash motivation is expected to breathe new life into the depopulating town, where newborns are fewer each year.
Presicce traces its history to the Middle Ages, booming during the Renaissance as a prosperous place known for its fine wine, cheeses and cattle trade. It gains a reputation as a “town of green gold” for green olive trees and olive oil. Its location is incredible, surrounded by the nature of the Salento area and close to beautiful beaches and clear waters of Santa Maria di Leuca. “There are many empty homes in the historical center built before 1991 which we would like to see alive again with new residents,” says local councilor Alfredo Palese. “It is a pity witnessing how our old districts full of history, wonderful architecture and art are slowly emptying.”
According to Palese, a 2019 merger (合并) with the nearby town Acquarica to create the larger town Presicce-Acquarica has provided them with extra money to ensure the project can continue for years to come. “After the merger as per Italian law, our wider territory will be blessed with more public funds, roughly 1,000,000 euros per year for several years forward, which we intend to invest to renew the old district,” says Palese.
The town hall has already launched other plans to attract more residents, including tax benefits to set up new business activities and baby bonuses for families with kids.
28. What problem do many Italian towns face?
A. Depressed housing market. B. Financial crisis.
C. Fierce business competition. D. Population decline.
29. What does the underlined word “alluring” in paragraph 2mean?
A. Conditional. B. Attractive. C. Formal. D. Reasonable.
30. What’s the author’ purpose of writing paragraph 3?
A. To show Presicce’s past glory. B. To introduce Presice’s traditional culture.
C. To advertise a historical town. D. To stress the importance of reviving Presicce.
31. Why did Palese and Acquarica merge in 2019?
A. To create wider territory. B. To gain more funds.
C. To attract more investment. D. To follow Italian law.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利各地的城镇都在竞相推出旨在吸引新居民来振兴城镇的计划。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。第二段最后一句提到“The cash motivation is expected to breathe new life into the depopulating town, where newborns are fewer each year.”（现金的刺激有望为这个人口日益减少的小镇注入新的活力，这里的新生儿每年都在减少。）由此判断，很多意大利小镇面临的问题是人口数量的减少。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。第二段第二句提到“Officials say they will pay people up to 30,000 euros to buy an empty house and take up residency. Even better, the houses for sale as part of the deal are priced around 25,000 euros.”（官员们表示，他们将向购买空房子并居住的人支付高达3万欧元的费用。更妙的是，作为交易的一部分，待售房屋的价格在2.5万欧元左右。）能够以更低的价格购买房子并且购买房子后还可以得到一笔费用，这是一个非常诱人的条件！A. Conditional有条件的；B. Attractive有吸引力的；C. Formal正式的；D. Reasonable合理的。attractive (有吸引力的)符合文意，故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。第三段第一、二、三句提到“Presicce traces its history to the Middle Ages, booming during the Renaissance as a prosperous place known for its fine wine, cheeses and cattle trade. It gains a reputation as a “town of green gold” for green olive trees and olive oil. Its location is incredible, surrounded by the nature of the Salento area and close to beautiful beaches and clear waters of Santa Maria di Leuca. ”（雷西塞的历史可以追溯到中世纪，在文艺复兴时期蓬勃发展，以优质葡萄酒、奶酪和牲畜贸易而闻名。它因绿油油的橄榄树和橄榄油而享有“绿色黄金之城”的美誉。它的位置令人难以置信，被萨伦托地区的自然环境所包围，靠近美丽的海滩和圣玛丽亚迪卢卡的清澈海水。）这三句提到了Presicce优美的自然风光和令人闻名的特产，说明这是一个非常宜居的地方，但由于各种原因有着很多空置房间。后文提到““There are many empty homes in the historical center built before 1991 which we would like to see alive again with new residents,” says local councilor Alfredo Palese. “It is a pity witnessing how our old districts full of history, wonderful architecture and art are slowly emptying.””（当地议员Alfredo Palese说：“在1991年之前建造的历史中心有许多空置的房屋，我们希望看到新居民重新活跃起来。”“看到我们那些充满历史、美妙建筑和艺术的老城区正在慢慢清空，真是令人遗憾。”）当地议员希望这些美丽的地方不要被空置，因此通过展示当地的美好来吸引更多的人入住，使得这个小镇重新焕发生机。D项“To stress the importance of reviving Presicce.”（强调振兴Presicce的重要性）该项符合文意。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。第四段第一句提到“According to Palese, a 2019 merger (合并) with the nearby town Acquarica to create the larger town Presicce-Acquarica has provided them with extra money to ensure the project can continue for years to come. ”（根据Palese的说法，2019年与附近的小镇Acquarica合并，创建了更大的小镇Presicce-Acquarica，这为他们提供了额外的资金，以确保该项目可以在未来几年继续进行。）由此判断，两个小镇的合并是为了吸引更多的资金。故选B。
D
Trees naturally absorbed CO₂ through photosynthesis(光合作用), releasing oxygen, storing carbon for decades, or even centuries. Biotechnology firm Living Carbon says lab trials of its genetically-changed poplar trees take up more carbon and grow 1.5 times faster than unchanged ones. The team added genes from pumpkin to the poplars, which makes their photosynthesis more efficient, turning more carbon dioxide into sugars to create wood biomass(生物量).
Though the firm’s lab results are promising, biologists warn that high growth rates are not guaranteed in the wild as the poplars compete for sunlight with other plants and trees. Genetically-modified (GM)supertrees may also need much watering and fertilizer to keep their rapid growth.
The results are important given the rate of climate change and climbing CO₂ levels in the atmosphere. But critics say there are risks to planting GM trees in the wild if they reproduce with other trees, or negatively affect other plant and animal species. Living Carbon says trees are a hybrid that can only reproduce from cuttings, so cannot cross-pollinate(授粉) with wild trees.
If the field trials are successful then it will still take time to get approval from the government. One sixth, around 135, tree species in the US may face extinction due to climate change, foreign insect species, or disease. And even though field trials of a GM chestnut tree have shown its ability to resist some foreign disease that wiped out billions of American chestnuts, it still has not been approved for planting.
If CO₂ storage is the aim then there are species that already fit the bill. California’s Redwood trees store more carbon than any other species. Redwoods are not suitable for every forestry plot, so creating climate adaptable trees through reproducing programs that fit into local ecosystems is the goal. But in the rush to fix the climate crisis, increase CO₂ uptake, and carbon storage, GM supertrees may be part of that solution.
32. How was the poplars’ carbon capacity improved?
A. By absorbing carbon dioxide. B. By producing wood biomass.
C. By speeding up photosynthesis. D. By engineering their genes.
33. What is the potential disadvantage of the GM trees?
A. They reproduced with other plants. B. It is impossible to get approval.
C. It is hard to grow fast in the wild. D. They are not competitive enough.
34. What does the underlined phrase “fit the bill” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Be unusual. B. Be available. C. Be unsuitable. D. Be valuable.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Supertrees Could be Climate Fix. B. Supertrees Take up More Carbon.
C. Change of Genes Reduce CO₂. D. Changes of Genes Brings Efficiency.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加利福尼亚的红杉树树比其他任何物种都能储存更多的碳。红杉并不适合每一块林地，因此通过繁殖计划创造适应气候的树木，以适应当地生态系统是目标。但在急于解决气候危机、增加二氧化碳吸收和碳储存的过程中，转基因超级树可能是解决方案的一部分。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Biotechnology firm Living Carbon says lab trials of its genetically-changed poplar trees take up more carbon and grow 1.5 times faster than unchanged ones. (生物技术公司 Living Carbon 表示，对其转基因杨树的实验室试验吸收了更多的碳，生长速度是未转基因杨树的1.5倍。)”可知，通过改造杨树的基因来提高它们的碳容量，故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Though the firm’s lab results are promising, biologists warn that high growth rates are not guaranteed in the wild as the poplars compete for sunlight with other plants and trees. Genetically-modified (GM)supertrees may also need much watering and fertilizer to keep their rapid growth.(尽管该公司的实验室结果令人鼓舞，但生物学家警告说，由于白杨与其他植物和树木争夺阳光，野外的高生长率并不能得到保证。转基因超级树也可能需要大量的水和肥料来保持它们的快速生长。)”可推知，转基因树的潜在缺点是很难在野外快速生长，故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线短语下文“California’s Redwood trees store more carbon than any other species. (加利福尼亚的红杉树比其他任何物种都能储存更多的碳。)”可知，加利福尼亚的红杉树比其他任何物种都能储存更多的碳，这说明如果二氧化碳储存是目标的话，那么红杉树是合适的，由此可推知，画线短语意为“合适的”与B项“Be available.(可利用的；合适的)”意思一样，故选B。
【35题详解】

Why is thinking positively good for you?
Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges.

Worrying is like a fire alarm.
Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe—if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks.“ ___38___It’s like a fire alarm,” says child psychotherapist RachelMelville-Thomas. “The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn’t a huge danger to face.” When this happens, you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.
___39___
Optimism is shaped by your genes, which carry characteristics inherited from your parents, and by what happens to you. ___40___ Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive —for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it, such as practicing every day after school.
A. Learn to think positively.
B. Sometimes worrying can do harm to our health.
C. The way you think positively or negatively largely depends on your genes.
D. Worrying is our brain warning us that there might be something threatening.

【答案】36. F 37. G 38. D 39. A 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了积极的思考带来的好处，以及怎么样学会积极的思考。
【36题详解】
根据前文“This saying is often used to test people’s outlook in a situation; do they focus on the positives(a half- full glass) or the negatives (a half- empty one)?(这句话经常被用来测试人们在某种情况下的看法；他们关注的是积极的一面(半满的杯子)还是消极的一面(半空的杯子)?)”以及后文“and it’s known to boost your well-being.(众所周知，它能促进你的健康)”可知，空处应是讲述积极的影响，所以F项“Thinking positively, with a belief that most things will turn out well, is called optimism.(积极地思考，相信大多数事情都会有好的结果，这叫做乐观主义)”符合文意。故选F项。
【37题详解】
分析设空，位于段尾，应是对前文的总结，根据前文“Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges. People who are more pessimistic may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass. Scientists have even found that thinking positively can make you live longer. According to Professor Tali Sharot, being optimistic about the future can make you happier and more successful.(研究表明，乐观和积极思考的人在面对生活挑战时往往会经历更少的压力，并能很好地应对。更悲观的人可能很难相信这些挑战会过去。科学家们甚至发现，积极思考可以让你活得更久。根据Tali Sharot教授的说法，对未来持乐观态度可以让你更快乐，更成功)”可知，G项“This’s because you believe your goals are achievable, which encourages you to work towards them.(这是因为你相信你的目标是可以实现的，这鼓励你朝着目标努力)”符合文意，是对前文的总结。故选G项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe—if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks.(每个人都会时不时地担心。担心可以帮助你保持安全——如果你从不担心，对事情的结果过于乐观，你就不会意识到风险)”可知，本段主要讲述了担心的好处，在根据本段小标题“Worrying is like a fire alarm.(忧虑就像火警)”，可知D项“Worrying is our brain warning us that there might be something threatening.(担心是我们的大脑警告我们可能会有威胁)”符合本段主题，其中Worrying为同词复现。故选D项。
【39题详解】
分析设空，是本段的小标题，是对本段的高度概括，根据下文“Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive —for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it, such as practicing every day after school.(研究表明，画或写一个积极的结果会有所帮助——例如，你弹吉他的画面，已经通过了下一次考试。想象一下可以激励你去实现它，比如每天放学后练习)”可知，本句主要讲述了，要学会积极的想象一些事情，也就是积极地思考，所以A项“Learn to think positively.(学会积极思考)”符合文意。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“Optimism is shaped by your genes, which carry characteristics inherited from your parents, and by what happens to you.(乐观是由你的基因塑造的，它带有从你父母那里遗传来的特征，也由你身上发生的事情决定)”以及后文“Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive —for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it, such as practicing every day after school.(研究表明，画或写一个积极的结果会有所帮助——例如，你弹吉他的画面，已经通过了下一次考试。想象一下可以激励你去实现它，比如每天放学后练习)”可知，E项“However, no matter your starting point, everyone can learn to become more optimistic.(然而，无论你的出发点是什么，每个人都可以学会变得更加乐观)”和前文构成转折关系，且和后文构成顺承关系。故选E项。

“Jane! Look who I brought home!” My father stuck his head out from behind the door, flashing a big smile. My heart skipped a beat as I mouthed, “A dog?” Nodding, my father pushed the door open, revealing a large German Shepherd. I grasped my hands tightly over my mouth and failed to hold back a sharp scream. Rushing back into my room, I locked the door and covered the gap between it and the floor with tape. I had a strong fear and great hate of dogs ever since I was bitten by one badly on the face, leaving a huge and deep scar(伤疤). I decided to stay in my room until the dog had gone for a walk with my father.
After what seemed like ages, I heard the door open and shut. “Finally! I can get out of here,” I thought. Out of great joy, I threw open the door and punched(用拳猛击) the air. At that moment, I felt something wet touching my foot. To my shock, it was the dog! I stood there, scared and shocked as if my feet were rooted to the ground. When I regained my calmness, I shouted loudly, “Ahhh! It is the dog! Help! He wants to bite me! Get him away from me!”
My father was standing at the door, folding his arms and laughing quietly. “He is not going to eat you! Jane, don’t be so scared. Go on! Touch him!” he said. Attempting to show my unwillingness, I failed to do so due to my constant and uncontrollable shaking. Instead, I shouted loudly, “Never! I will never touch that dirty thing! Go away!” I picked up a tennis ball on the table and aimed at the dog but missed, causing the ball to roll across the living room.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The dog barked excitedly before running across the room to fetch the ball and bring it back to me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following day, gathering my courage, I decided to follow my father when he took the dog out for a walk.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The dog barked excitedly before running across the room to fetch the ball and bring it back to me. I was about to open my mouth to say “So cute”, but I resisted the urge and shouted, “Stupid dog! That is my favourite tennis ball and you just covered it with your mouth liquid! You stupid dog!” Unfortunately, the look on my face sold me out. I was laughing, my eyes lit up and I started to pet the dog. He was just so cute and lovable, and began to lie on his stomach beside my feet, enjoying my touch with his eyes slightly closed.
The following day, gathering my courage, I decided to follow my father when he took the dog out for a walk. Filled with joy and enthusiasm, I opened the gate. Just as I put one foot outside the gate, suddenly, deep barks sounded from up ahead. At the sight of several dogs wondering there, I stopped with my legs trembling! All at once, my dog violently barked back, causing the dogs to flee away. I regained my calmness, smiled and praised my dog. We three walked on, breathing the sweet air. From that day on, I overcame my problem—my fear of dogs.
