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.
4、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.
5、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.
6、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.
7、Where is the text probably from?
A. A fitness magazine. B. A travel journal.
C. A lifestyle website. D. A sports column.
Student team TU/ecomotive at the Eindhoven University of Technology has developed a sustainable electric passenger car that captures more carbon dioxide (CO₂) than it emits while driving. Called ZEM, for zero emission mobility, the two-seater purifies the air through a special filter (过滤器). By storing the captured CO₂ and then dealing with it, ZEM can contribute to reducing global warming. The students will continue to improve the vehicle with the goal of making it carbon-neutral (碳中和) for its entire life cycle.
The car can capture 2 kilograms of CO₂ through a special filter at 20,000 travel miles per year. This means that ten cars can store as much CO₂ as an average tree. That may not seem like much, but the overall payoff is significant if you were to utilize it in every passenger car. After all, there are more than a billion passenger cars driving around the world, which could capture net CO₂ instead of emitting it.
A life cycle analysis with SimaPro software can be used to determine the extent to which the life cycle of the vehicle — from construction to use and afterlife — is carbon-neutral. Several innovations contribute to this goal. Consider the 3D printing techniques used by the students. The body panels are made through 3D printing, resulting in almost no remaining waste. In addition, the student team prints plastics that can be recycled for other projects.
The electric and sustainable four-wheel drive has a sporty look. With the good reason, say the students, because a sporting challenge awaits the automotive industry. After all road transport must become much more sustainable.
Nikki Okkels, external relations manager at TU/ecomotive, says: “We call on the industry to pick up the challenge, and of course we are happy to think along with them. We haven’t finished developing yet, but we believe it will eventually hit the road. We warmly invite car makers to come and take a look.”
8、How can ZEM reduce global warming?
A. It produces no carbon emissions during construction.
B. It can transform captured CO₂ into green energy.
C. It can last long due to its improved life cycle.
D. It cleans the air by absorbing CO₂.
9、What does the underlined word “utilize” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Show. B. Drive. C. Apply. D. Catch.
10、What contributes to the vehicle's carbon neutrality according to paragraph 3?
A. 3D printing techniques. B. SimaPro software.
C. Reusable waste materials. D. Advanced afterlife recycling.
11、What does Nikki Okkels expect of the four-wheeler?
A. It will reach the market. B. It will speed up driving
C. It will have a sporty look. D. It will be made of plastic.
The 31,000-year-old skeleton（骨骼）of a young adult found in Indonesia reveals the oldest known evidence of an amputation（截肢），according to a new study.
"We were exploring a cave in Borneo, in a rainforest region, for some of the earliest rock art in the world, when we came across the burial site and the skeleton, which then excited our curiosity，"said Tim Maloney, the study's lead researcher. Though much of the skeleton was complete, it missed its left foot and the lower part of its left leg, he explained. After examining the remains, the researchers concluded the foot bones weren't lost in the site or in an accident—they were carefully removed. The remaining leg bone showed a clean cut.
Researchers believed the find presents a remarkable deed. It's tricky and demanding to prevent infection in amputations, even to this day. Yet more than 30,000 years ago someone was able to handle it. Researchers didn't know what tool was used to cut the body parts, but they assumed a sharp stone tool may have made the cut. What seems certain is that the patient enjoyed great post-operative care for considerable time, for the person appears to have lived for around six to nine more years after being disabled.
The operation's good end result is not pure chance. It implies that the person who performed the operation had some understanding of antimicrobial（抗菌的）medicine. In this respect, their lifestyle and forest environment might have proved to be advantages. "Given these people lived in an area with many plants with known medicinal properties, there is a strong case to guess that adapting to this environment may have boosted the development of advanced medical knowledge，"Maloney said.
The surgery rewrites the history of human medical developments. Before this find, the earliest example of amputation had been in a French farmer from almost 7,000 years ago. Researchers had believed advanced medical practice developed around 10,000 years ago, as humans settled down into agricultural societies. But this study adds to evidence that humans started caring for each other's health long before that.
12、What did Maloney say about the skeleton？
A.It is preserved poorly. B.It is found by accident.
C.It needs further study. D.It shows ancient wisdom.
13、Which part of the amputation is difficult according to the researchers？
A.Seeking proper tools. B.Keeping the cut clean.
C.Avoiding the infection. D.Providing post-operative care.
14、What is paragraph 4 mainly about？
A.Reasons for the surgery's success.
B.Geographical features of Borneo.
C.Knowledge of plants' medicinal use.
D.Benefits of the forest environment.
15、What does the discovery of the skeleton show？
A.Borneo is the source of surgical amputation.
B.Amputation is common for prehistoric people.
C.Ancient agriculture promoted medical development.
D.Humans made advanced medical practice earlier than thought.
二、七选五
16、According to a common saying, “Honesty is the best policy.” ①_______ Lying often seems like a good way to impress people or avoid blame for mistakes. Some people lie out of habit, without even realizing they’re doing it. But despite all this, honesty really is worth the effort.
One obvious reason for honesty is that lies are difficult to maintain. There’s always a chance that the person you lied to will find out the truth. ②_______
Lies are also difficult to hide because they are harder to remember than the truth. If you make up a story, you have to remember all the details. ③_______ But if you commit to telling the truth, you will never have trouble remembering. This saves you effort and makes conversations less stressful for you.
Another obvious reason to avoid lying is that lying can harm others. People who believe your lies might make bad decisions because of them. And a lie about someone else could destroy that person’s reputation. On a personal level, if your friends find out you lied to them, their feeling will be hurt. They will question whether they can trust you or wonder whether you care about them. In contrast, if you always tell the truth, you will develop a reputation for honesty. ④_______ Business deals, friendships, family and romantic relationships all depend on trust.
⑤_______ Sometimes it’s best to remain silent if your words might hurt someone else. Honesty means that when you speak, you tell the truth without holding any information back. When you do that, you will feel more relaxed and enjoy stronger relationships.
A. This will help you in every area of your life.
B. But in daily life, honesty can be difficult.
C. Is the gain from lying really worth the risk?
D. We will get others’ respect and appreciation if telling the truth.
E. Being honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others.
F. Honesty, however, doesn’t mean you have to say everything in your mind.
G. And the more lies you tell, the more stories you have to remember.

六、读后续写
34、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。
The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained (与……讨价还价) him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn't have change. So I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.
I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?” I asked him. “I ... I don't have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5 ,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir. “ he said. “Thank you very much!”
When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if he's a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.
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。
One afternoon in September, I went to a poor community.

32、答案：①secretly②to be found③harder④stuck⑤Under⑥threw⑦which⑧coming⑨encouragement⑩the
解析：①考查副词。句意：Perce秘密地藏在一个柜子里，结果在他们出发三天后被发现了。分析可知，空处修饰动词hid，应用副词secretly"秘密地"作状语。故填secretly。
②考查动词不定式的被动式。句意：Perce秘密地藏在一个柜子里，结果在他们出发三天后被发现。结合句意可知，此处应用"only +动词不定式"作结果状语，表示意料之外的结果，且动词find与其逻辑主语Perce之间为动宾关系，故应用动词不定式的被动式，即to be done。故填to be found。
③考查形容词比较级。句意：旅途比预期的要艰难。根据句意及后文than可知，此处应用形容词hard的比较级harder。故填harder。
④考查形容词。句意：当他们接近南极洲时，船陷在了冰里，他们不得不弃船。分析可知，此处应用形容词stuck"卡住，困住"作表语，get stuck"被卡住，被困住"。故填stuck。
⑤考查介词。句意：在Ernest先生的指导下，他们几乎扔掉了所有的东西，除了必需品和一把班卓琴，它使他们在旅途中精神振奋。根据句意可知，此处表示"在……的指导下"，应用固定短语under the guidance of...，句首单词首字母应大写。故填Under。
⑥考查动词时态。句意：在Ernest先生的指导下，他们几乎扔掉了所有的东西，除了必需品和一把班卓琴，它使他们在旅途中精神振奋。根据句意和从句中kept可知，句子是在讲述过去发生的事，应用一般过去时。故填threw。
⑦考查定语从句关系词。句意：在Ernest先生的指导下，他们几乎扔掉了所有的东西，除了必需品和一把班卓琴，它使他们在旅途中精神振奋。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为banjo，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，故应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
⑧考查现在分词。句意：他们在冰上露营，但随着春天的到来，冰开始融化。分析可知，此处使用了with复合结构，come和宾语spring之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故应用现在分词作宾补。故填coming。
⑨考查不可数名词。句意：正是来自Bless Frank Wild的真诚鼓励和关心使Perce振作起来。分析句子结构可知，句子为强调句，强调主语，故空处应填名词encouragement"鼓励"和concern并列作主语，encouragement为抽象名词，不可数。故填encouragement。
⑩考查定冠词。句意：意识到他不应该因为他们所面临的逆境而变得自私，Perce学会了乐观和坚定。根据语境可知，此处特指他们所面临的逆境，故应用定冠词the表示特指。故填the。

34、答案：
One afternoon in September, I went to a poor community. When I was walking along the narrow road, a similar figure appeared in my sight. That was my little friend! As I approached, he also recognized me. Wearing a broad smile, he greeted me, “Good afternoon, sir!” I didn't expect to see you here!” I exclaimed. Then it hit me that I didn't know his name, so I continued,” May I have you name?” “Joe.” He replied. He invited me to his home and I agreed.
Joe led me into his home. It was almost empty. Soon a small shelf filled with looks caught my attention.” Thanks to your money, now I can read books anytime, any where!” Hearing his words, I was deeply touched. That afternoon, I asked everything about him: family, study, future plans…I felt more connected with him and became more aware of my responsibility to help the poor. On leaving, I left another two 500 naira bills. This time I knew I was definitely not using him to make myself feel better.”
