If you are longing for a hike in Alaska and aren’t sure where to start, here are our favorites. There’s something for all levels of skills and ambitions.
The Kenai River Trail
A half mile down this trail are wonderful views of the Kenai River Canyon. There are really two trailheads(小道的起点); the main “upper” trail starts at mile 0.6 of Skilak Lake Rd, and the other at mile 2.3.
Turnagain Arm Trail
This 11-mile hike begins at Potter Trailhead (Mile 115). Initially used by AlaskaNatives, the trail, can also be accessible to points along the way: McHugh Creck(Mile 112), Rainbow(Mile 108) and Windy(Mile 107).
lditarod National Historic Trail
The National Historic Iditarod Trail is a 24-mile hike used by gold miners and sled-dog teams until 1918, when the Alaska Railroad was finished. It’s a two-to-three day hike through superb mountain scenery to Girdwood( where it’s known as the Crow Pass Trail), and is the region’s best backpack adventure.
Put up a tent at Echo Bend(Mile 3), or rent one of two yurts(毡房)($65 per night) close by. For a shorter outing you can turn around at the Perch, then return to the Dew Mound Trail at Echo Bend and then to the Nature Center, making this a scenic 8-mile trip.
Reed Lakes Trail
Two alpine lakes, waterfalls, glaciers and towering granite(花岗岩) walls: the7-to-9-mile Reed Lakes Trail is one of the most wonderful hikes in the region, and worth the climb. Once you reach upper Reed Lake, continue 1 mile to Bomber Glacier, where the ruin of a B-29 bomber lies in memorial to six men who died in a 1957 crash.
21. Which of the following was originally used by Alaska Natives

Have you ever thought about what happens to people’s property when they die That’s where wills come in. Traditionally, wills were only made by the elderly. Many young people think they don’t need wills if they don’t have kids or houses yet. But in recent years, this perception has started to change.
A white paper released by the China Will Registration Center in March revealed that more people in their 20s and 30s are now writing wills in China, reported China Daily. The Daily Mail also reported that more young people are writing wills thanks to the CoVID-19 pandemic. In the UK, only 18 percent of 18-to 34-уеаr-olds had wills in 2019, compared to 27 percent in 2021. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Emily James, 22, said the main reason she wrote a will was the pandemic. “In the current climate, you can’t really get away from death - it’s something my generation has never been faced with so distinctly before. The death count is broadcast every day, and most people know someone who has been affected by the virus, which starts to make you think and want to plan for your future.”
Apart from the pandemic, public knowledge of celebrities’ health conditions, like the British royal family, has led to more people writing wills. The highest number of wills written on a single day in 2021 was on Feb 18, following the late Prince Philip’s admission to hospital, according to data from Farewill, one of the UK’s biggest death planning companies.
Farewill’s data also show that the legacies young people leave in their wills are reflections of current society. Music and pop culture collections were among the top things included in wills. The most common pop culture collections mentioned were Disney, Star Wars and Harry Potter memorabilia(纪念品).
The pandemic increased people’s likelihood of including a gift to a charity in their will. Furry friends are also not forgotten. Farewill’s data show nearly one-fifth of the people were making wills to ensure their pets were well looked after, with a total of 37 percent of will writers including plans for their pets.
24. What did the Daily Mail report
A. More people in the West are writing wills.
B. The number of young will writers is increasing.
C. The UK saw the most young will writers in 2021.
D. People aged 18-34 made the most wills in the UK in 2021.
25. Why did Emily James write a will
A. She was infected with Covid -19.
B. She felt desperate during the pandemic.
C. She realized future was unpredictable.
D. She was affected by the death of Prince Philip.
26. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A. The influence of pop culture on the youth.
B. The influence of the pandemic on the youth.
C. The importance attached to writing a will by the youth.
D. The influence of the current society on the will contents of the youth.
27. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Pandemic And Wills B. Pandemic Changes Society
C. The Youth And Will Writing D. Youth Leave Their Legacy in Pandemic
C
Whether you consume it in ice cream, coffee, cupcakes, pudding, or protein shakes, the vanilla you eat in the future might taste just a little bit sweeter thanks to a surprising new ingredient: used plastic.
Admittedly, it doesn’t sound very appetizing. To scientists Joanna Sadler and Stephen Wallace at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh, however, what’s even less delicious is plastic waste, which currently enters the ocean at a rate of 8 million tons per year—enough plastic waste to outweigh all of the ocean’s fish by the year 2050. To help stop the plastic pollution on land and at sea, they’ve designed a novel way to turn it into vanillin, a chemical substance in vanilla extract that gives it its distinct vanilla smell and flavor.
Although it can be found in natural vanilla bean extract, vanillin also can be made synthetically using chemicals coming from petrol. To create it from plastic, instead, researchers genetically modified a strain of E. coli bacteria so that it can make vanillin from a raw material used in the production of plastic bottles.
According to their research paper, around 85% of the world’s vanillin is synthesized from chemicals that are obtained from fossil fuels. That’s because demand for vanillin—which is used widely not only in food, but also in beauty products, cleaning products, and herbicides—is far greater than supply. In Madagascar, which grows 80% of the world’s natural vanilla, pollinating, harvesting, and curing vanilla beans is a long and painstaking process that couldn’t possibly yield enough vanillin for modern appetites. And even if it could, the only way to naturally increase vanillin supply would be to plant more vanilla plantations, which would drive deforestation.
Being able to create vanillin with plastic instead of petroleum means increasing vanillin supply while decreasing plastic waste, reducing industrial reliance on fossil fuels, and preserving forests.
“Using microorganisms to turn waste plastics, which are harmful to the environment, into an important product is a beautiful demonstration of green chemistry,” said Ellis Crawford, publishing editor at the United Kingdom’s Royal Society of Chemistry.
28. How do scientists produce vanilla
A. Extracting it from plastic bottles.
B. Forming it without bacteria.
C. Changing the formula of protein shakes.
D. Taking it from ocean life.
29. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “synthetically” in paragraph 3
A. Naturally. B. Artificially.
C. Biologically. D. Industrially.
30. What can be learned from the passage
A. Madagascar is the biggest vanilla import country in the world.
B. Making natural vanilla is an easy process.
C. Enlarging vanilla plantations is environmentally-friendly.
D. Producing vanilla from plastic is a win-win solution.
31. Where will you possibly read this passage
A. In a science magazine. B. In a travel booklet.
C. In an economic textbook. D. In an advertisement.
D
With low temperatures, radiation and high-energy particles, the vacuum of space is nothing but harsh (严酷的). Can you imagine spending six hour walking in space Chinese astronauts did just that on their latest spacewalk.
On Aug 20, Chinese astronauts Liu Boming and Nie Haisheng went out on the second spacewalk of the Shenzhou XII mission, according to the China Manned Space Agency. The pair set up and adjusted equipment, showed their spacesuits and tested the large robotic arm and other spacewalk-related devices.
Despite the astronauts’ skill, spacewalking is a challenging task. Luckily, their bulky (臃肿的) spacesuits protect them. A spacesuit is like a small space station. It has everything astronauts need when they carry out a spacewalk.
China’s Feitian spacesuits have six layers. The innermost layer collects astronauts’ urine (尿液). There are also four layers that help control the temperature and air pressure inside the suit. Spacesuits are filled with air, so they look like they’re puffed up (膨胀). The sixth layer is made of special fibers that cover astronauts from radiation, according to The Paper.
Astronauts are connected to the space station with safety ropes. The suit has headphones and speakers for astronauts to communicate. There is also a mirror on the wrist that astronauts can use to check their suits.
The first Feitian suit was made in 2008. Zhai Zhigang wore it to carry out China’s first spacewalk, which lasted about 19 minutes.
The suits Chinese astronauts wear today are the second generation of Feitian. They can support longer walks lasting up to eight hours and can be used more often. The first generation could only be used five times within two years, while the second generation can be used 15 times within three years. Each suit costs around 30 million yuan, and it takes four months to make just one according to Ifeng News.
32. What can we learn about the Chinese astronauts’ latest spacewalk from the text
A. It was China’s first spacewalk.
B. It lasted a total of six hours.
C. It was carried out this spring.
D. It was completed by three astronauts.
33. How were China’s Feitian spacesuits designed to protect astronauts
A. They include five layers with different functions.
B. The innermost layer adjusts the temperature.
C. Three other layers control air pressure inside the suit.
D. The outermost layer protects astronauts from radiation.
34. According to the text, what do Chinese astronauts need when carrying out spacewalks
a. headphones b. speakers c. mirror
d. radar e. compass f. safety ropes
A. acdf. B. abef. C. abcf. D. cdef.
35. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about
A. Disadvantages of the first Feitian suit.
B. The process of making the second Feitian suit.
C. New technology applied to the second Feitian suit.
D. Distinctions between the two generations of Feitian suits.

67. 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。
Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home,and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it. That rumor has been going around for years,and it makes me mad, plain mad.”
“Now,put on your coat,and let’s go.”
“Go where, Grandma ” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store. the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors,Grandma handed me ten dollars.“Take this money.”she said,“and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s.
I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother,but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded,full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there,confused,holding that ten-dollar bill,wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker,who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock’s grade-two class.
Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess(休息) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note,telling the teacher that he had a cough,but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough,and he didn’t have a coat. I fingered the ten dollar bill with growing excitement. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one,which looked really warm,and he would like that.
“Is this a Christmas present for someone ”the lady behind the counter asked kindly,as I laid my ten dollars down.“Yes.”
The nice lady smiled at me,put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.
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。
That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Grandma and I waited breathlessly in the bush for Bobby Decker’s front door to open.

A
If you are longing for a hike in Alaska and aren’t sure where to start, here are our favorites. There’s something for all levels of skills and ambitions.
The Kenai River Trail
A half mile down this trail are wonderful views of the Kenai River Canyon. There are really two trailheads(小道的起点); the main “upper” trail starts at mile 0.6 of Skilak Lake Rd, and the other at mile 2.3.
Turnagain Arm Trail
This 11-mile hike begins at Potter Trailhead (Mile 115). Initially used by AlaskaNatives, the trail, can also be accessible to points along the way: McHugh Creck(Mile 112), Rainbow(Mile 108) and Windy(Mile 107).
lditarod National Historic Trail
The National Historic Iditarod Trail is a 24-mile hike used by gold miners and sled-dog teams until 1918, when the Alaska Railroad was finished. It’s a two-to-three day hike through superb mountain scenery to Girdwood( where it’s known as the Crow Pass Trail), and is the region’s best backpack adventure.
Put up a tent at Echo Bend(Mile 3), or rent one of two yurts(毡房)($65 per night) close by. For a shorter outing you can turn around at the Perch, then return to the Dew Mound Trail at Echo Bend and then to the Nature Center, making this a scenic 8-mile trip.
Reed Lakes Trail
Two alpine lakes, waterfalls, glaciers and towering granite(花岗岩) walls: the7-to-9-mile Reed Lakes Trail is one of the most wonderful hikes in the region, and worth the climb. Once you reach upper Reed Lake, continue 1 mile to Bomber Glacier, where the ruin of a B-29 bomber lies in memorial to six men who died in a 1957 crash.
21. Which of the following was originally used by Alaska Natives
A. The Kenai River Trail.

Have you ever thought about what happens to people’s property when they die That’s where wills come in. Traditionally, wills were only made by the elderly. Many young people think they don’t need wills if they don’t have kids or houses yet. But in recent years, this perception has started to change.
A white paper released by the China Will Registration Center in March revealed that more people in their 20s and 30s are now writing wills in China, reported China Daily. The Daily Mail also reported that more young people are writing wills thanks to the CoVID-19 pandemic. In the UK, only 18 percent of 18-to 34-уеаr-olds had wills in 2019, compared to 27 percent in 2021. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Emily James, 22, said the main reason she wrote a will was the pandemic. “In the current climate, you can’t really get away from death - it’s something my generation has never been faced with so distinctly before. The death count is broadcast every day, and most people know someone who has been affected by the virus, which starts to make you think and want to plan for your future.”
Apart from the pandemic, public knowledge of celebrities’ health conditions, like the British royal family, has led to more people writing wills. The highest number of wills written on a single day in 2021 was on Feb 18, following the late Prince Philip’s admission to hospital, according to data from Farewill, one of the UK’s biggest death planning companies.
Farewill’s data also show that the legacies young people leave in their wills are reflections of current society. Music and pop culture collections were among the top things included in wills. The most common pop culture collections mentioned were Disney, Star Wars and Harry Potter memorabilia(纪念品).
The pandemic increased people’s likelihood of including a gift to a charity in their will. Furry friends are also not forgotten. Farewill’s data show nearly one-fifth of the people were making wills to ensure their pets were well looked after, with a total of 37 percent of will writers including plans for their pets.
24. What did the Daily Mail report
A. More people in the West are writing wills.
B. The number of young will writers is increasing.
C. The UK saw the most young will writers in 2021.
D. People aged 18-34 made the most wills in the UK in 2021.
25. Why did Emily James write a will
A. She was infected with Covid -19.
B. She felt desperate during the pandemic.
C. She realized future was unpredictable.
D. She was affected by the death of Prince Philip.
26. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A. The influence of pop culture on the youth.
B. The influence of the pandemic on the youth.
C. The importance attached to writing a will by the youth.
D. The influence of the current society on the will contents of the youth.
27. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Pandemic And Wills B. Pandemic Changes Society
C. The Youth And Will Writing D. Youth Leave Their Legacy in Pandemic
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今越来越多的年轻人开始留下遗嘱的社会现象,分析了这一现象背后的原因。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The Daily Mail also reported that more young people are writing wills thanks to the CoVID-19 pandemic. In the UK, only 18 percent of 18-to 34-уеаr-olds had wills in 2019, compared to 27 percent in 2021. (据《每日邮报》报道,由于新冠肺炎疫情,越来越多的年轻人开始写遗嘱。在英国,2019年18至34岁的人中只有18%立了遗嘱,而2021年这一比例为27%)”可知《每日邮报》报道了越来越多的年轻人开始写遗嘱,即年轻的遗嘱撰写人的数量在增加。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Emily James, 22, said the main reason she wrote a will was the pandemic. “In the current climate, you can’t really get away from death — it’s something my generation has never been faced with so distinctly before. The death count is broadcast every day, and most people know someone who has been affected by the virus, which starts to make you think and want to plan for your future.”(22岁的Emily James最近在接受《每日电讯报》采访时表示,她写遗嘱的主要原因是疫情。“在目前的环境下,你无法真正远离死亡——这是我们这一代人从未如此清晰地面对过的事情。死亡人数每天都播报,大多数人都知道有人受到了这种病毒的影响,这开始让你思考并想要为自己的未来做计划)”可知,Emily James写遗嘱是因为疫情,因为听到每天播报的死亡人数使她思考并想要为自己的未来做计划,即意识到未来是不可预测的,不知道自己会不会受疫情影响,所以现在需要去做个计划,所以写遗嘱。故选C项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据后面两段内容“Farewill’s data also show that the legacies young people leave in their wills are reflections of current society. )以及The pandemic increased people’s likelihood of including a gift to a charity in their will. Furry friends are also not forgotten. (Farewill的数据还显示,年轻人在遗嘱中留下的遗产是当今社会的反映。疫情增加了人们在遗嘱中向慈善机构捐赠的可能性。宠物也没有被遗忘。)”可知,这两段讲述了年轻人遗嘱中所包含的东西,即音乐和流行文化收藏品、向慈善机构捐赠、宠物的照顾计划等,这是当今社会的反映,这是年轻人在当今社会中工作和生活,受其影响后而写出的遗嘱,故文章最后两段主要讲述了当今社会对年轻人的遗嘱内容的影响。故选D项。
【27题详解】
标题判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了如今越来越多的年轻人开始留下遗嘱的社会现象,并分析了这一现象背后的原因,故全文都是围绕年轻人留下遗产这一话题来进行阐述的,故选项D“Youth Leave Their Legacy in Pandemic“年轻人在流行病期间留下他们的遗产”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
C
Whether you consume it in ice cream, coffee, cupcakes, pudding, or protein shakes, the vanilla you eat in the future might taste just a little bit sweeter thanks to a surprising new ingredient: used plastic.
Admittedly, it doesn’t sound very appetizing. To scientists Joanna Sadler and Stephen Wallace at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh, however, what’s even less delicious is plastic waste, which currently enters the ocean at a rate of 8 million tons per year—enough plastic waste to outweigh all of the ocean’s fish by the year 2050. To help stop the plastic pollution on land and at sea, they’ve designed a novel way to turn it into vanillin, a chemical substance in vanilla extract that gives it its distinct vanilla smell and flavor.
Although it can be found in natural vanilla bean extract, vanillin also can be made synthetically using chemicals coming from petrol. To create it from plastic, instead, researchers genetically modified a strain of E. coli bacteria so that it can make vanillin from a raw material used in the production of plastic bottles.
According to their research paper, around 85% of the world’s vanillin is synthesized from chemicals that are obtained from fossil fuels. That’s because demand for vanillin—which is used widely not only in food, but also in beauty products, cleaning products, and herbicides—is far greater than supply. In Madagascar, which grows 80% of the world’s natural vanilla, pollinating, harvesting, and curing vanilla beans is a long and painstaking process that couldn’t possibly yield enough vanillin for modern appetites. And even if it could, the only way to naturally increase vanillin supply would be to plant more vanilla plantations, which would drive deforestation.
Being able to create vanillin with plastic instead of petroleum means increasing vanillin supply while decreasing plastic waste, reducing industrial reliance on fossil fuels, and preserving forests.
“Using microorganisms to turn waste plastics, which are harmful to the environment, into an important product is a beautiful demonstration of green chemistry,” said Ellis Crawford, publishing editor at the United Kingdom’s Royal Society of Chemistry.
28. How do scientists produce vanilla
A. Extracting it from plastic bottles.
B. Forming it without bacteria.
C. Changing the formula of protein shakes.
D. Taking it from ocean life.
29. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “synthetically” in paragraph 3
A. Naturally. B. Artificially.
C. Biologically. D. Industrially.
30. What can be learned from the passage
A. Madagascar is the biggest vanilla import country in the world.
B. Making natural vanilla is an easy process.
C. Enlarging vanilla plantations is environmentally-friendly.
D. Producing vanilla from plastic is a win-win solution.
31. Where will you possibly read this passage
A. In a science magazine. B. In a travel booklet.
C. In an economic textbook. D. In an advertisement.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人造香草香精的制造过程。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“To create it from plastic, instead, researchers genetically modified a strain of E. coli bacteria so that it can make vanillin from a raw material used in the production of plastic bottles. (相反,为了用塑料制造香草香精,研究人员对一株大肠杆菌进行了基因改造,使其能够从塑料瓶生产中使用的原材料中生产香草香精)”可知,香草香精可以从塑料中提取,故选A项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段“Although it can be found in natural vanilla bean extract, vanillin also can be made synthetically using chemicals coming from petrol. To create it from plastic, instead, researchers genetically modified a strain of E. coli bacteria so that it can make vanillin from a raw material used in the production of plastic bottles. (虽然香草香精可以在天然香子兰豆提取物中找到,但也可以使用来自汽油的化学物质synthetically香草香精。相反,为了用塑料制造香草香精,研究人员对一株大肠杆菌进行了基因改造,使其能够从塑料瓶生产中使用的原材料中生产香草香精)”可知,第三段讲述了实验室里人造香草香精的过程,synthetically意为“人造的(Artificially)”。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“In Madagascar, which grows 80% of the world’s natural vanilla, pollinating, harvesting, and curing vanilla beans is a long and painstaking process that couldn’t possibly yield enough vanillin for modern appetites. And even if it could, the only way to naturally increase vanillin supply would be to plant more vanilla plantations, which would drive deforestation. (马达加斯加种植着世界80%的天然香草,授粉、收获和腌制香子兰豆是一个漫长而艰苦的过程,不可能产生足够的香兰香精来满足现代人的胃口。即使可以,自然增加香兰香精供应的唯一方法是种植更多的香子兰豆种植园,这将导致森林砍伐)”讲述了通过自然手段获得香草香精的难度及危害,第五段“Being able to create vanillin with plastic instead of petroleum means increasing vanillin supply while decreasing plastic waste, reducing industrial reliance on fossil fuels, and preserving forests. (能够用塑料代替石油生产香草香精意味着增加香草香精供应,同时减少塑料废物,减少工业对化石燃料的依赖,保护森林)”讲述了人工提取香草香精的意义,所以从塑料中生产香草香精是件双赢的事情,故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中的“To help stop the plastic pollution on land and at sea, they’ve designed a novel way to turn it into vanillin, a chemical substance in vanilla extract that gives it its distinct vanilla smell and flavor. (为了帮助阻止陆地和海上的塑料污染,他们设计了一种新的方法将其转化为香草香精,香草香精是香子兰豆提取物中的一种化学物质,赋予香子兰豆独特的香草气味和风味)”和下文内容可知,本文是一篇科技说明文,介绍了人造香草香精的制造过程,文章可能会出现在“科学杂志”上。故选A项。
D
With low temperatures, radiation and high-energy particles, the vacuum of space is nothing but harsh (严酷的). Can you imagine spending six hour walking in space Chinese astronauts did just that on their latest spacewalk.
On Aug 20, Chinese astronauts Liu Boming and Nie Haisheng went out on the second spacewalk of the Shenzhou XII mission, according to the China Manned Space Agency. The pair set up and adjusted equipment, showed their spacesuits and tested the large robotic arm and other spacewalk-related devices.
Despite the astronauts’ skill, spacewalking is a challenging task. Luckily, their bulky (臃肿的) spacesuits protect them. A spacesuit is like a small space station. It has everything astronauts need when they carry out a spacewalk.
China’s Feitian spacesuits have six layers. The innermost layer collects astronauts’ urine (尿液). There are also four layers that help control the temperature and air pressure inside the suit. Spacesuits are filled with air, so they look like they’re puffed up (膨胀). The sixth layer is made of special fibers that cover astronauts from radiation, according to The Paper.
Astronauts are connected to the space station with safety ropes. The suit has headphones and speakers for astronauts to communicate. There is also a mirror on the wrist that astronauts can use to check their suits.
The first Feitian suit was made in 2008. Zhai Zhigang wore it to carry out China’s first spacewalk, which lasted about 19 minutes.
The suits Chinese astronauts wear today are the second generation of Feitian. They can support longer walks lasting up to eight hours and can be used more often. The first generation could only be used five times within two years, while the second generation can be used 15 times within three years. Each suit costs around 30 million yuan, and it takes four months to make just one according to Ifeng News.
32. What can we learn about the Chinese astronauts’ latest spacewalk from the text
A. It was China’s first spacewalk.
B. It lasted a total of six hours.
C. It was carried out this spring.
D. It was completed by three astronauts.
33. How were China’s Feitian spacesuits designed to protect astronauts
A. They include five layers with different functions.
B. The innermost layer adjusts the temperature.
C. Three other layers control air pressure inside the suit.
D. The outermost layer protects astronauts from radiation.
34. According to the text, what do Chinese astronauts need when carrying out spacewalks
a. headphones b. speakers c. mirror
d. radar e. compass f. safety ropes
A. acdf. B. abef. C. abcf. D. cdef.
35. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about
A. Disadvantages of the first Feitian suit.
B. The process of making the second Feitian suit.
C. New technology applied to the second Feitian suit.
D. Distinctions between the two generations of Feitian suits.

【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯周六赞扬了中国在消除贫困和其他领域取得的成就,敦促国际社会团结一致,应对共同的挑战。空处作非谓语动词,urge与逻辑主语United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式作状语。故填urging。
【57题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯周六赞扬了中国在消除贫困和其他领域取得的成就,敦促国际社会团结一致,应对共同的挑战。空处引导从句作动词address的宾语,从句中缺少主语,表示“什么”,应用what引导从句。故填what。
【58题详解】

【60题详解】
考查名词。句意:这位联合国秘书长在接受新华社的电子邮件采访时表示:“我感谢中国在制定和实施可持续发展目标方面所发挥的作用,这体现在中国在消除各种形式和层面的贫困这一世界主要挑战方面的坚定承诺和重大进展。”。空处与名词 progress并列,作介词by的宾语,所以空处应用名词commitment,表示“承诺”。故填commitment。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意:这位联合国秘书长在接受新华社的电子邮件采访时表示:“我感谢中国在制定和实施可持续发展目标方面所发挥的作用,这体现在中国在消除各种形式和层面的贫困这一世界主要挑战方面的坚定承诺和重大进展。”。“one of+复数可数名词”表示“……之一”,所以空处应用名词的复数形式。故填challenges。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:古特雷斯说:“中国在扶贫方面取得的成就提供了宝贵的经验,正通过南南合作与其他国家分享。”。空处修饰名词lessons,应用形容词形式作定语,结合语意,中国取得的成就提供了宝贵的经验,空处应用valuable,表示“宝贵的”。故填valuable。
【63题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:他还指出,“世界面临着日益严重的不平等、气候危机、2019冠状病毒疾病大流行、地缘政治紧张、人权受到威胁等重大挑战。”直接引语中引用的句子,描述现在的一般性情况,应用一般现在时,face与主语the world之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,主语是the world,be动词应用is。故填is faced。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:他还指出,“世界面临着日益严重的不平等、气候危机、2019冠状病毒疾病大流行、地缘政治紧张、人权受到威胁等重大挑战。”under threat为固定短语,表示“受到威胁”,符合题意。故填under。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意:秘书长呼吁全球团结“通过国际合作弥合巨大分歧,解决我们的挑战。”空处修饰动词cooperating,应用副词形式作状语,internationally是副词,表示“国际性地”。故填internationally。

Dear Dylan,
I am writing to convey my sincere apology to you for not being punctual yesterday.

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续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home,and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it. That rumor has been going around for years,and it makes me mad, plain mad.”
“Now,put on your coat,and let’s go.”
“Go where, Grandma ” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store. the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors,Grandma handed me ten dollars.“Take this money.”she said,“and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s.
I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother,but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded,full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there,confused,holding that ten-dollar bill,wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker,who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock’s grade-two class.
Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess(休息) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note,telling the teacher that he had a cough,but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough,and he didn’t have a coat. I fingered the ten dollar bill with growing excitement. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one,which looked really warm,and he would like that.
“Is this a Christmas present for someone ”the lady behind the counter asked kindly,as I laid my ten dollars down.“Yes.”
The nice lady smiled at me,put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.
