Sylvester James Gates is the current president of the American Physical Society. He appears in a number of documentaries, and is the receiver of countless awards.
In looking back at his career,Gates credited MIT as his "intellectual birthing ground".In fact, his path to MIT started at home. He still remembers that when he was a child, his father asked him and his three younger siblings(兄弟姐妹)a question: What college do you plan to attend His father had spent his own childhood on a sugarcane farm, and then worked in the army for 27 years, never having had the opportunity to attend college himself.
“But he had an iron faith that education was the way to make progress for our family,”Gates said.
Gates first learned of MIT when he was 14. He was watching a television show, with a character who happened to be an MIT student. It left such an impression that Gates declared to his father that MIT was the college he wanted to attend. But as he recalled," That dream almost never happened.”
He spent his high school years in Florida. He and his friends started a chess team. When they visited other high schools for matches, he saw the quality of everything, from the facilities, to the desks, and even the books—especially the books—was better than those at his own school.
This experience made him hesitate in applying to MIT. But his father, remembering Gates' early declaration,insisted.When the acceptance letter came,it was his father who gave him the news, while sitting on the family's rocking sofa"He was energetically going back and forth, back and forth, and then he looked up and saw me, smiling the biggest smile," Gates said. "And that was my introduction to MIT—that very personal welcoming from my father,who let me know that my dream could come true."

Currently, New Zealand's government announces it will help pay for poorer families to replace their old cars with cleaner hybrid (混合动力的) or electric ones. The government says it plans to spend $357million on the test program.
The move is part of a wider plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions(排放物). Greenhouse gases are believed to cause warming temperatures in the Earth's atmosphere. New Zealand plans to provide aid for businesses to reduce emissions and have buses that run on environmentally safe fuel by 2035.The government also plans to provide food-waste collection for most homes by 2030.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardem said in a statement,“We’ve all seen the recent reports on sea level rise and its influence right here in New Zealand. We cannot leave the issue of climate change until it's too late to fix."The plan is a step toward New Zealand's stated goal of reaching net-zero(净零)carbon emissions by 2050.
Reaching net-zero emissions means not creating more carbon in the atmosphere than oceans and forests can remove. Ardern said that reducing dependence on traditional fuels would help protect families from extreme price increases. The plan also sets a goal of reducing total car travel by 20 percent over the next 13years. The programs will be paid for from a $2.8 billion climate emergency response fund.
Officials said that over time, money collected from polluters would pay for the programs rather than taxes from families. Some critics of the plan say it continued to be less restrictive on New Zealand's huge agriculture industry. Agriculture creates more than half of the nation's total greenhouse gas emissions. But it is also important to the economy as the nation's biggest export earner.
David Seymour is the leader of New Zealand's ACT political party. He said that some of the announced programs were proven to be ineffective and had been tried and failed overseas. Seymour added that people should be able to choose how they reduce emissions through the market-based emissions trading plan.
8、What does New Zealand government plan to do
A. Increase dependence on traditional fuels.
B. Reduce expense on food-waste collection.
C. Offer businesses help to lessen emissions.
D. Buy cars for families and double car travel.
9、What does Jacinda Ardem suggest doing about the climate change
A. Observing the sea level rise. B. Publishing the recent reports.
C. Dealing with the issue instantly. D. Raising emergency response funds.
10、What can we infer from the text
A. The move has a goal of reducing the use of buses.
B. Agriculture plays a vital part in the nation's economy.
C. The announced programs will be applied internationally.
D. Achieving net-zero emissions means creating no carbon at all.
11、What is David Seymour’s attitude towards the programs
A. Tolerant. B. Unclear. C.Favorable. D. Doubtful.
Natural silence—the kind when you hear nothing but the sound of nature around you—is becoming increasingly scarce. The noise of man-made can be heard even in the remote corners of national parks and deep in the Arctic Ocean.
This is having some troubling effects. In humans, noise pollution has been linked to physical, mental health problems and cognitive impairment(认知功能障碍)in children.In wildlife,it's disturbing navigation,pairing,communication and can cause hearing loss."We're losing the ability to listen to nature without noise pollution," says sound recordist Matt Mikkelsen. He's part of the non-profit organization Quiet Parks International, which aims to identify and preserve the planet's last quiet places.
Recently, this took him to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota. No cars, motor boats, electricity or telephone lines are allowed in the one-million-acre area,making it a strong candidate for Quiet Park status. But listening back to the recording, Mikkelsen can hear the low hum(嗡鸣声) of a commercial plane flying far away.
Quiet Parks hasn't yet decided if Boundary Waters meets its criteria—it's one of 260 potential sites around the world that the organization is currently exploring. The team will analyze the sound recordings from each location and consider them alongside other data.
In recent years, the world has been getting louder, with cities and towns expanding and an increasing number of noises from cars, airplanes or ships. But during the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病),there has been momentary delay.In2020,global air travel was down by 60% and road transport decreased by almost half. Scientists in Europe found that noise caused by humans fell by up to 50% after lock downs were carried out.
"People enjoyed the silence,"says Mikkelsen.“There were no airplanes in the sky and cars weren't on the street. It was an incredible thing to be able to hear the world, all of a sudden, free from noise pollution,"he says. Since the start of the pandemic, Quiet Parks says it has experienced a huge increase in interest for quiet places."I hope that we can take that desire for a world with less noise forward,”says Mikkelsen,"and appreciate the spots we have,where we can go and not experience noise pollution."
12、What does the underlined word "scarce" probably mean in paragraph 1
A. Special. B. Rare. C. Common. D. Typical.
13、What is paragraph 2mainly about
A. Causes of hearing loss.
B. Tips on protecting the nature.
C. Harmful effects of noise pollution.
D. Unidentified problems from human beings.
14、What will Matt Mikkelsen's team analyse according to the text
A. The sound recordings. B. Global air travels.
C. Quiet Parks' criteria. D. Data of the pandemic.
15、Where is the text probably taken from
A. A book review. B. A travel guide.
C. A business plan. D. A science report.

I was backpacking and planned to climb a volcano called Volcan Baru. At 3,474m, it is the highest peak in the country and one of the only places on Earth from where you can see the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans at the same time. It is an active volcano, but last erupted around 1550.
I set off before sunrise. It was a little cold, so I had pulled on tights under my trousers. I intended to reach the top by midday, and then return before dark to get a lift to my hotel.I've always felt safe travelling as a woman on my own, which I've done since my 20s. I love the freedom. When I got to the base of the volcano at 7 in the morning,the ranger (护林员)disagreed to let me go alone, but said OK because an American couple were behind me.
The first part of the climb was beautiful. It was not dry as you might imagine a volcano might be—there were trees and flowers all around, and a dirt road for the farmers who worked around there.I walked for an hour and reached a fair height. The views were impressive, so I stopped to take a photograph
Suddenly I heard violent barking behind me. I turned and saw two dogs running aggressively (挑衅)towards me. I expected them to stop,but they didn't. As they got closer, I could see their teeth looked sharp, and that they looked angry. There was nowhere for me to run. I tried to keep calm, but my heart was racing. I'd never been bitten by a dog, and I couldn't help but fear what would happen. They stopped a dozen feet from where I stood and kept barking.I knew they could move fast, so I didn't want to try to outrun them.
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。
Terrified, I slowly kept walking, saying,"Come on, good dogs!"
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just at this critical moment, a pickup appeared, driven by the ranger.

32、答案:①our②activities③to④fairly⑤appreciation⑥or⑦are given⑧why⑨to connect/to be connected⑩best
解析:这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了送礼的历史及意义。
①考查形容词性物主代词。句意:作为人类,我们是社会动物,喜欢彼此的陪伴,并通过赠送礼物来表达我们的感情。分析句子可知,设空处在句中限定后面的名词feelings,此处应用形容词性物主代词;we的形容词性物主代词为our,表示“我们的”。故填our。
②考查名词。句意:赠送礼物可能是人类文明之前最古老的活动之一,可以追溯到我们这个物种的起源。分析句子可知,设空处在句中宾语,应用名词;结合前面的one of可知,此处应用复数名词。故填activities。
③考查固定搭配。句意:赠送礼物可能是人类文明之前最古老的活动之一,可以追溯到我们这个物种的起源。date back to为固定搭配,表示“追溯到”。故填to。
④考查副词。句意:即使在原始洞穴文化中,赠送礼物也是相当普遍的,因为它被用来表达对彼此的爱和感情。分析句子可知,设空处在句中修饰形容词common,作状语,应用副词;fair的副词形式为fairly,表示“相当地”。故填fairly。
⑤考查名词。句意:赠送礼物也被推断为一种地位的象征,部落的领导人会对那些为重要成就做出贡献的人表示感谢。分析句子可知,设空处在句中作宾语,应用名词;结合句意可知,此处指“表示感激”,appreciate的名词形式为appreciation。故填appreciation。
⑥考查并列连词。句意:无论礼物是形状奇特的岩石、动物的牙齿、树皮还是其他天然的东西,在先进文明出现之前,赠送礼物肯定是一种普遍的行为。分析句子可知,设空处后面的some other item that was natural in origin与前面的an unusually shaped rock, a tooth from an animal, the bark from a tree为并列结构,故此处应用并列连词;结合前面的whether可知,此处表选择,应用or。故填or。
⑦考查动词时态语态。句意:我们会把礼物送给家人、朋友、同事,甚至邻居,他们会收到各种各样的礼物。分析句子可知,设空处在句中作谓语,应用动词;主语为gifts,与give之间为被动关系,应用被动语态be done结构;结合上下文动词时态可知,此处表示一般陈述,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为复数形式,故谓语动词也用复数形式。故填are given。
⑧考查宾语从句。句意:为什么送礼物如此有益的心理学原理很简单:它能让人们建立联系。分析句子可知,设空处位于介词of后,在句中引导一个从句,这是一个宾语从句,从句中不缺主干成分,结合句意可知,此处表示“为什么送礼物如此有益”,设空处在从句中作原因状语,应用why引导。故填why。
⑨考查非谓语动词。句意:为什么送礼物如此有益的心理学原理很简单:它能让人们建立联系。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语动词,设空处只能填非谓语动词形式;结合前面的allow可知,allow sb to do sth为固定搭配,表示“允许某人做某事”,设空处应用to do不定式,故可用to connect。人与人之间的联系是双向的,也可以是被联系,故也可用to be connected。故填to connect或to be connected。
⑩考查形容词最高级。句意:这种感觉能启迪我们的灵魂,激发出我们最好的一面。根据设空处前面的定冠词the和后面的in可知,此处指“我们最好的一面”,应用形容词最高级。故填best。

34、答案:
Terrified, I slowly kept walking, saying, "Come on, good dogs!”Suddenly, one dog dashed up towards me, sinking his teeth into my leg."Oh,my God,I'm in a dog's mouth and he's trying to swallow me,"I thought to myself,with the pain taking my breath away as I felt his teeth in my flesh.I picked up a rock to fight him off, but was nervous that he would go for my neck or that the other one would come to attack me together. Facing these two aggressive dogs,I desperately felt at a loss.Hardly could I step out of the trouble on my own.
Just at this critical moment, a pickup appeared, driven by the ranger: Seeing the state I was in, he immediately stopped his pickup, opened the door, and signaled to me to get in. When we reached the base, he helped me bandage the leg up, earnestly reminding me that safety comes first while travelling. I felt relieved and grateful. And from then on, I travel carefully as well as cautiously. After all, nothing is more precious than life.
