A
Have you ever been really hungry, but there wasn’t much to eat in your kitchen Did you throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good You aren’t alone. Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that would never have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.
POTATO CHIPS
One of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man was eating dinner at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York. He ordered fried potatoes, a popular side dish. But when they came out of the kitchen, he didn’t think they were crispy enough. He sent them back to the kitchen, where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced the potatoes really thin, put lots of salt on them, and fried them. Not only did the diner love them, but everyone else did, too. They soon became a specialty of the restaurant.
TOFU
Tofu, or bean curd, is made by curdling (使凝结) fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block, and then cooling it. Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle. This is the same process that is used for making cheese. Like cheese, tofu is a great example of how really messing up a recipe can create something unexpectedly good.
CHEESE PUFFS
Did you ever wonder who thought up cheese puffs The company that invented them wasn’t even trying to make food for people. It was trying to make animal feed. In the 1930s, the Flakall Company of Wisconsin made animal food from small, flaked pieces of grain. One day, an employee, Edward Wilson, watched workers pouring cornmeal (谷粉) into the flaking machine, wetting it to keep it from clogging (堵塞). Because the machine was very hot, the wet cornmeal came out of it in puffy ribbons that hardened when they hit the air. Wilson took some of the ribbons home, added oil and flavoring to them, and voila! Cheese puffs!

A. Seaweed is also used for making cheese.

B. To inform readers of some foods.
C. To recommend some foods .
D. To introduce the origins of some foods.
B
Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys. They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.
Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK ”
I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job Why take the risk and place the whole family in trouble Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.
Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.
Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.
It was a new comb. This one was brown. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.
4. From the first three paragraphs, we can learn ________.
A. the precious green comb of Dad was made of jade
B. the earliest memories with Dad were full of joy
C. the author wasn’t willing to clean the comb for Dad

A. That he was fired and had to make a living.
B. That he was eager to get everything on track.
C. That he hoped to earn a better life for the family.
D. That he wanted to keep the life for his family stable.
6. What emotional changes did the author experience when staying with Dad these years
A. mad → satisfied → warm
B satisfied → worried → angry
C. warm → concerned → uncomfortable
D. cheerful → mad→ warm
7. What could be the best title for the text

C. My Earliest Memories with Dad
D. Dad’s Sales Job & His Wholesale Business
C
While the arts can’t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.
We often experience works of art as something that’s pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions. Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.
Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No.9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy (欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.
Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.
8. What value does art have beyond pleasing people’s senses
A. It brings people inner peace. B. It contributes to problem-solving.
C. It reduces the possibility of crises. D. It deepens understanding of challenges.
9. What can we learn about Beethoven’s Symphony No.9
A. It celebrates freedom and unity. B. It aims to show crises and chaos.
C. It opens with Schiller’s Ode to Joy. D. It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.
10. What is the author’s suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces
A. Leaving things as they are. B. Making a choice between them.
C. Separating them from each other. D. Engaging them in a conversation.
11 Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How COVID-19 changes art B. Moving artfully through crises
C. Essentials of Symphony No.9 D. How to appreciate arts in new ways
D
The ruins of a huge Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR, according to the National Geographic on Thursday.
This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey landscapes in 3D by reflecting laser pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological sites (考古遗址), as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The technique has been the activator (催化剂) of many discoveries in recent years. For instance, major finds at Angkor, Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can explain what it did.
This large lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna—known for their temples and pyramids—but shows that these famous heritage areas are the tip of the iceberg of this lost urban network.
Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve, more than 60,000 human-made features—homes, canals, highways, some of which can even reach the modernized standard—have been identified by an international cooperation of researchers headed by the PACUNAM Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya empire.
These ancient peoples obviously established these imaginative cultures based on their known relics, but the new research has shown that the scale of this lost society is far beyond what experts had imagined. The findings will be explored in an hour-long documentary called Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings, premiering (首映) Tuesday, February 6 on the National Geographic Channel.
“There are entire cities we didn’t know about now showing up in the survey data,” said Francisco Belli, one of the lead archeologists on the project. “There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities there that we don’t know about, and we will push the frontiers,” he added.
12. What can we know about LiDAR
A It’s a breakthrough in archeology. B. It’s major equipment in air forces.
C. It was first used in discovering a Maya city. D. It’s a remote sensing technique using laser pulses.
13. What does the underlined word “Those” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The jungles of the Reserve. B. The outlines of the Maya empire.
C. The researchers of the organization. D. The man-made projects of the Reserve.
14. Which of the following words can best describe the Maya empire
A Famous and dangerous. B. Vast and highly developed.
C. Mountainous and aggressive. D. Enormous and traditional.
15. What do archeologists hope to do next
A. Restudy the history of Maya. B. Use the LiDAR sensors as usual.
C. Continue to explore the unknown. D. Study the documentary more carefully.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍的是三种食物的来历。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据TOFU部分中的“Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle.(2000年前,一位厨师在豆浆中加入海藻,使豆浆凝结,意外地在中国发明了豆腐)”可知,豆腐在2000年前被一位厨师意外地发现。由此可知,豆腐可以追溯到2000年前的中国。故选D项。

Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys. They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.
Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK ”
I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job Why take the risk and place the whole family in trouble Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.
Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.
Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.
It was a new comb. This one was brown. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.

While the arts can’t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.
We often experience works of art as something that’s pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions. Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.
Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No.9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy (欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.
Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.
8. What value does art have beyond pleasing people’s senses
A. It brings people inner peace. B. It contributes to problem-solving.
C. It reduces the possibility of crises. D. It deepens understanding of challenges.
9. What can we learn about Beethoven’s Symphony No.9
A. It celebrates freedom and unity. B. It aims to show crises and chaos.
C. It opens with Schiller’s Ode to Joy. D. It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.
10. What is the author’s suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces
A. Leaving things as they are. B. Making a choice between them.
C. Separating them from each other. D. Engaging them in a conversation.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How COVID-19 changes art B. Moving artfully through crises
C. Essentials of Symphony No.9 D. How to appreciate arts in new ways
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容“Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces.(在两个对立的部分之间进行对话,你会发现它们总是从一开始就互相争斗,直到我们对它们之间的差异有了一个新的认识——两种对立的力量是统一的。)”可知,作者表达了“经过将对立部分对话就会发现,虽然这两个部分刚开始是互相争斗,但最终会发现它们的力量是统一的”观点,即,矛盾冲突是可以通过对话交流处理的。由此可推知,作者对于处理冲突各方的建议是让各方进行对话和交流。故选D项。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。通过阅读文章可知,文章首段内容“While the arts can’t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos.

The ruins of a huge Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR, according to the National Geographic on Thursday.
This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey landscapes in 3D by reflecting laser pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological sites (考古遗址), as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The technique has been the activator (催化剂) of many discoveries in recent years. For instance, major finds at Angkor, Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can explain what it did.
This large lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna—known for their temples and pyramids—but shows that these famous heritage areas are the tip of the iceberg of this lost urban network.
Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve, more than 60,000 human-made features—homes, canals, highways, some of which can even reach the modernized standard—have been identified by an international cooperation of researchers headed by the PACUNAM Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya empire.
These ancient peoples obviously established these imaginative cultures based on their known relics, but the new research has shown that the scale of this lost society is far beyond what experts had imagined. The findings will be explored in an hour-long documentary called Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings, premiering (首映) Tuesday, February 6 on the National Geographic Channel.
“There are entire cities we didn’t know about now showing up in the survey data,” said Francisco Belli, one of the lead archeologists on the project. “There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities there that we don’t know about, and we will push the frontiers,” he added.
12. What can we know about LiDAR
A. It’s a breakthrough in archeology. B. It’s major equipment in air forces.
C. It was first used in discovering a Maya city. D. It’s a remote sensing technique using laser pulses.
13. What does the underlined word “Those” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The jungles of the Reserve. B. The outlines of the Maya empire.
C. The researchers of the organization. D. The man-made projects of the Reserve.
14. Which of the following words can best describe the Maya empire
A. Famous and dangerous. B. Vast and highly developed.
C. Mountainous and aggressive. D. Enormous and traditional.
15. What do archeologists hope to do next
A. Restudy the history of Maya. B. Use the LiDAR sensors as usual.
C. Continue to explore the unknown. D. Study the documentary more carefully.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文,主要讲述了考古学家们利用LiDAR技术,在危地马拉发现了一处巨大的玛雅城市遗迹。由于这座城市遗迹只是玛雅帝国的冰山一角,因此,曾经高度发达、疆域辽阔的玛雅帝国仍将是未来考古人员继续探索的对象。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The ruins of a huge Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR, (在远程感知技术LiDAR的帮助下,一座玛雅城市的遗迹在危地马拉被发掘出来)”和第二段“This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey landscapes in 3D by reflecting laser pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. (这项突破性的考古发现要感谢感知器LiDAR。它能反射来自无人飞行器和其他设备的激光脉冲,用立体三维技术呈像探查这片区域)”可知,LiDAR是一项使用激光脉冲的遥感技术。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve, more than 60,000 human-made features—homes, canals, highways, some of which can even reach the modernized standard (城市遗迹隐藏在玛雅生态保护区处的密林之下。超过6万多项人造工程有房舍、运河。高速公路,它们当中有一些建造水准已经达到当代的水平)”可知,划线代词those指的是前文中提到的“玛雅生物保护区的6万多项人造工程”。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This large lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna—known for their temples and pyramids—but shows that these famous heritage areas are the tip of the iceberg of this lost urban network. (这座湮没的巨大城市,包括像Tikal, Holmul,和Witzna等地方,均以金字塔和神庙闻名。而这些文化遗迹却只是古代城市系统的冰山一角)”和文章第四段“Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve, more than 60,000 human-made features—homes, canals, highways, some of which can even reach the modernized standard (城市遗迹隐藏在玛雅生态保护区处的密林之下。超过6万多项人造工程有房舍、运河。高速公路,它们当中有一些建造水准已经达到当代的水平)”可知,玛雅帝国疆域辽阔,且高度发达。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities there that we don’t know about, and we will push the frontiers,” he added. (还有20000平方千米的区域尚未发掘探索,有上百座未见天日的古城,因此我们会持续推进发掘工作)”可知,考古人员将继续探索发掘未知的玛雅遗迹。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道的是“神舟十三号”载人宇宙飞船返回舱成功着陆,其载人飞行任务取得圆满成功。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:周六上午,搭载着翟志刚、王亚平和叶光复三名中国宇航员的神舟十三号返回舱安全返回地球,打破了为期六个月的太空任务记录。分析句子结构可知,此处为副词作状语修饰谓语动词landed,safe的副词形式为safely意为“安全地”符合句意。故填safely。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在现场等待的医疗小组确认所有三名宇航员健康状况良好后,中国宣布神舟十三号任务取得圆满成功。根据句意可知,此处success为抽象名词具体化,意为“一件成功的事”,此处指的是“‘神舟十三号’太空飞行任务取得圆满成功”这件事,所以此处应为不定冠词,且complete的首个音素为辅音。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:在现场等待的医疗小组确认所有三名宇航员健康状况良好后,中国宣布神舟十三号任务取得圆满成功。分析句子结构可知,此处为固定短语be in good health意为“身体良好”符合句意。故填in。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:翟志刚是这次任务的总指挥,他第一个从太空舱里出来,面带微笑地向现场欢呼的人群挥手。分析句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词作定语,被修饰词前面有序数词修饰,所以应使用不定式作后置定语,结合句意,此处表示主动意义。故填to come。
【40题详解】
考查谓语动词的时态和语态。句意:紧随其后的是第一位进入中国空间站的中国女宇航员王亚平。分析句子结构可知,此处为谓语动词,根据语境可知,此处描述过去发生的事,应使用一般过去时,且follow与句子主语he之间为被动关系,所以使用一般过去时态的被动语态,且句子主语为第三人称单数。故填was followed。
【41题详解】
考查谓语动词的时态。句意:叶光复最后一个从太空舱出来。分析句子结构可知,此处为谓语动词,根据语境可知,此处报道的是过去发生的事情,所以应使用一般过去时,且exit与句子主语之间为主动关系。故填exited。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:“我的第一次太空飞行持续了六个月,这对我来说是一个挑战。我的太空梦实现了,”他说。结合句意可知,此处表示“持续了六个月”,空格前有six修饰,所以此处应使用名词复数。故填months。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:在空间站的六个月旅程中,机组人员确认了空间站建设的关键技术,包括航天器在轨换位和重型机械臂操作。分析句子结构可知,空后为名词作宾语,所以此处应使用include的介词形式including意为“包括”。故填including。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:除了科学任务,宇航员们还在空间站进行了两次现场科学讲座,期间他们进行了各种实验,并回答了在地球上观看课程的学生提出的问题。分析句子结构可知,此处为形容词作定语修饰名词missions,science的形容词为scientific意为“科学的”符合句意。故填scientific。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:除了科学任务,宇航员们还在空间站进行了两次现场科学讲座,期间他们进行了各种实验,并回答了在地球上观看课程的学生提出的问题。分析句子结构可知,此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,空前有介词during,所以此处应为“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词lectures指的是事物,介词后不能使用that。故填which。
