II. Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分）
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and
grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form
of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra or enjoy working
out number puzzles such as Sudoko. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill
after a meal, to 21 (calculate) your household bills. But many fear the moment
22 they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry and confusion.
It can seem daunting, but this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone.
And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.
The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers
who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may
be 23 (likely) to be affected. The Programme for International Student
Assessment found around 31%of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very
nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense doing maths homework, and nearly 60%
said maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School
of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models “is
试卷第 2 页，共 15 页critical, especially 24 a young age”. She thinks the key is 25 (get)
people, especially women, who love teaching maths to younger children.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear 26 maths
arouses so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer —
there’s no room for bluffing — 27 make you more worried about
underperforming.” And 28 we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid
solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists 29 (try) to work out why mental arithmetic can bring us out
in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your
fears can loosen 30 control on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a
challenge, not a threat. Ideally, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second
chance.
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used
only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Today’s children are exhausted, and not just because one in three kids is not getting enough
sleep. Sleep deprivation in kids (who require at least nine hours a night, depending on age) has
been found to 31 decrease academic achievement, lower intelligence test scores, slow
physical growth, and 32 to moodiness and irritability. While the argument for
protecting our children’s sleep time is convincing, there is another kind of rest that is 33
and beneficial to our children’s academic, emotional, and creative lives: daydreaming.
Not all mental downtime (停 工 休 息 期 ) is alike, of course. Downtime spent playing a
videogame or watching a television show may have its 34 , but the kind of downtime I
am talking about is different. I’m talking about the kind of mind-wandering that happens when the
brain is free of interruption and allowed to get rid of the 35 of the day. Television,
video games, and other electronic 36 prevent this kind of mental wandering because
试卷第 1 页，共 15 页they interrupt the flow of thoughts and memories that 37 the foundation of positive,
productive daydreaming.
There is, however, another way of looking at mind wandering. For the individual, mind
wandering offers the possibility of very real, personal reward, some immediate, some more
38 . These rewards include self-awareness, memory consolidation, future planning, simulating
the 39 of another person, evaluating the implications of self and others’ emotional
reactions, moral reasoning.
In other words, daydreaming only seems lazy from the outside, but viewed from the inside or
from the perspective of a psychologist, such as Kaufman, or a neuroscientist, such as Mary Helen,
a complicated and extremely 40 neurological process is taking place. Viewed from the
inside, our children are exploring the only space where they truly have autonomy: their own minds.
III. Reading Comprehension (41 – 55题，每题1分；56 – 70题，每题2分；共45分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Is there anything nicer than a cooling ice cream on a hot summer’s day? This traditional
treat is centuries old, but our tastes and consumer habits are 41 . How is the ice cream
production process changing, and who is driving this 42 ?
Making ice cream is a 43 process. While the recipe is 44 -milk, sugar and
fat, plus flavors and colors-ice cream has a complex chemistry. Getting the 45 right
between ice, fat and air is important if the ice cream is to have the right texture. To achieve this,
the ingredients need to be mixed and heated, then cooled and frozen-a process that takes time and
uses a lot of energy. Designers and engineers are working to 46 the production process
with new specialized equipment to make it increasingly automated. For now, 47 , even
with the help of robots and 3D printers, it can take up to two years from testing a new frozen
dessert product to it being 48 to consumers.
And demand is only going up. According to the food packaging company Tetra Pak, more
than 25 billion litres of ice cream were eaten 49 in 2021. While the US and China are
the biggest consumers, data from Nielsen IQ shows that people in the UK bought 28% more ice
试卷第 2 页，共 15 页cream during the UK’s record-breaking summer compared to a year earlier. 50 , rising
temperatures can explain why some people are buying more ice cream, but it’s not the only
explanation. The pandemic has seen people 51 pleasures they can enjoy at home,
which include eating indulgent (放纵的) foods. And worries about the cost-of-living crisis could
have a 52 effect, as even a premium (高端的) ice cream is an affordable treat.
So, what new things can we expect on a stick or in a cone? Consumers of all ages buy ice
cream, but it is millennial consumers who are driving interest in more original flavors, including
spices. Dairy still 53 , but plant-based ice cream, sorbets (雪糕) and low-calorie
choices are a growing part of the frozen dessert market. But, according to Elsebeth Baungaard,
portfolio manager (投资组合经理) at Tetra Pak, the next worldwide 54 will be less
about innovation and more about portion size. “I’m sorry to say it’s simply 55 ,” she
says. “But the quality will be higher.”
41．A．peaking B．evolving C．continuing D．surviving
42．A．growth B．investment C．expansion D．shift
43．A．labor-saving B．eye-catching C．time-consuming D．profit-making
44．A．simple B．secret C．special D．specific

Section B
试卷第 1 页，共 15 页Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
I believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I
know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it, but I believe
that I should do it. So several times a day, while working in our emergency department, I leave my
patient’s bedside, get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up, before continuing on my day.
Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me
it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both
physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as
a patient. It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want
my family members taken care of. This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient.
Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as
a volunteer. The short story is that I broke my femur (大腿骨), the large bone in my hip, and my
recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so. The surgeon who performed the last
three operations usually did his rounds late at night.
He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking
Einstein. He would ask about my pain and my mental state, but what I remember most is his
offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited. I felt that he cared about me and, more
importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and
obeyed everything he told me to do.
Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I
have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least
never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made
that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have
failed them as a physician and as a person.
56．According to the author, what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean?
A．It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it.
B．It gives him the power to order tests and treatments.
试卷第 2 页，共 15 页C．It’s helpful to save a life when you are in trouble.
D．It helps communicate his care towards his patients.
57．The author mentioned his own experience as a patient, which of the following is NOT his
intention?
A．Showing his gratitude for the surgeon
B．Demonstrating his action of giving blankets
C．Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patients
D．Claiming the importance of patients’ trust toward doctors
58．What does the last sentence (paragraph 5) imply?
A．The author felt regretful for not making connection with his patients by bringing them
blankets.
B．A good physician should understand patient’s needs.
C．It’s important to communicate doctors’ care to their patients.
D．The author failed as a person as he didn’t show his understanding for his patients’ needs.
59．The passage is manly about __________.
A．emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patients
B．emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patients
C．emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heart
D．emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship
(B)

For companies who bottle pure mountain air, like one in Canada, dropping air quality is a
business opportunity. For the rest of us, it’s a killer. While billions of people live in a fog of
试卷第 2 页，共 15 页harmful airborne particles each day, the business of Vitality Air, which sells bottled Canadian
mountain air, is booming.
“Our Chinese website keeps crashing. We are getting orders from all over the country, not
just the wealthier cities,” said Harrison Wang, China representative for Vitality Air. “When the air
is bad, we see increase in sales.” While the company has sold 12,000 bottles of air from Canada’s
national parks to Chinese people sick of the pollution that chokes many of the country’s cities,
plenty of other nations are increasingly asking for clean air.
The past week has also identified the cause for this smoggy malaise (难以捉摸的问题).
The torching of fossil fuels has grown so quickly that the world is heading to atmospheric
concentrations of carbon dioxide beyond 400 parts per million — a level unseen in human
history. Particles and chemicals released from power plants and vehicles are killing us as the CO₂
dissolves the Great Barrier Reef and helps rob Alaska of a winter.
Indeed, if humans vanished tomorrow, our great contributions will not be non-hovering
hover boards, but our pollution. Recent research concludes that on vast geological timescales,
humans will leave behind just a layer of plastic and a blanket of planet-warming greenhouse gases.
Cities, where most pollution dwells, are perhaps ahead of national governments in realizing
the crisis we all now face. In the US, the Clean Air Act has lifted the smog from many large
American metropolises and have banded with other urban areas from around the world to do more
to tackle climate change. Paris has placed a monthly ban upon cars along the Champs-Elysee,
while Santiago in Chile last year temporarily banned 40% of its 1.7m vehicles.
But with more people dying from air pollution each year than malaria and HIV, it’s clear
that far more needs to be done to clean up our cities, stem the flow of plastic into the environment
and help rapidly growing economies exploit the sun and the wind, rather than coal, for their
energy needs. Otherwise we will run out of places to bottle clean air from.
63．Which of the following statement about Vitality Air is TRUE?
A．It sells bottled pure mountain air only to wealthy cities in China.
B．The Canadian company profits by transporting national parks’ air to Chinese people.
C．It is a technology company whose website keeps crashing.
D．Its products cause serious environmental problems.
64．What is the root of the world’s air pollution problem?
试卷第 1 页，共 15 页A．The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide.
B．The excessive burning of fossil fuels.
C．The dissolving Great Barrier Reef.
D．The trillions of tiny pieces plastic.
65．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Plenty of other nations were not able to buy clean bottled air from Vitality Air.
B．Innovative technologies would be the consequence if humans disappeared on the earth.
C．The warm winter in Alaska is caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
D．National governments are working on the smoggy problem through a joint effort.
66．Which of the following is the best title?
A．Bottled air: far from a silver bullet to air pollution
B．Dropping air quality: the killer hunting all of us
C．A global dilemma: pollution has both upsides and downsides
D．An emergent call: we are running out of clean bottled air

Not All Waste Has to Go to Waste
Most of the world’s 2.22 billion tons of annual trash ends up in landfills or open dumps.
Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of New South Wales in
Sydney, Australia, has created a solution to our massive trash problem: waste microfactories.
There little trash processors — some as small as 500 square feet — house a series of machines
that recycle waste and transform it into new materials with the new technology. 67
Sahajwalla launched the world’s first waste micro factory targeting electronic waste, or
e-waste, in 2018 in Sydney. A second one began recycling plastics in 2019. Now, her lab group is
working with university and industry partners to commercialize their patented microfactory
technology. 68 The approach will also allow cities to recycle waste into new products on
location, avoiding the long, often international, high-emission treks between recycling processors
and manufacturing plants. With a microfactory, gone are the days of needing separate facilities to
试卷第 2 页，共 15 页collect and store materials, extract elements and produce new products.
69 Her invention evolves this idea by taking materials from an old product and
creating something different. “The kids don’t look like the parents,” she says.
For example, the microfactory can break down old smartphones and computer monitors and
extract silica (from the glass) and carbon (from the plastic casing), and then combine them
together. This generates a common material with many industrial uses. 70
In 2019, just 17.4 percent of e-waste was recycled, so they ability to re-form offers a crucial
new development in the challenge recycling complex electronic devices. “We can do so much
more with materials,” says Sahajwalla.
A．Traditional recycling has not worked for every recycling challenge, especially the recycling of
e-waste.
B．She says the small scale of the machines will make it easier for them to one day operate on
renewable energy, unlike most large manufacturing plants.
C．Sahajwalla refers to this process as “the fourth R”, adding “re-form” to the common phrase
“reduce, rouse, recycle.”
D． Electronics contains various poisonous chemicals and materials that are released into the
environments if they are not dealt with properly.
E．The new all-in-one approach could leave our current recycling processes in the dust.
F． Traditionally, recycling plants break down materials for reuse in similar products — like
melting down plastic to make more plastic things.
IV. Summary Writing (10分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the
passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
71．Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point
(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Read with Eyes or Ears
Picture yourself sitting at home in a quiet reading nook, ignoring the world around you,
absorbed in a tale. You read the blurb, instantly became intrigued and now you’re in the middle of
an absolute page-turner. But, there’s a hot debate-physical books vs. books vs. audiobooks. Does
试卷第 1 页，共 15 页the device you’re using to read affect your reaction to the book?
Generally, reading uses several areas of the brain. There’s attention span, reasoning,
reading fluency, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen
communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social perception. So,
whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits.
But, let’s look at the pros to reading with your eyes-that’s physical books and e-books.
They can help to retain information better. This is because when you can actually see the words,
your attention is held more closely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back
and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders, which it likely will at some point
or other.
On the other hand, there’s the audiobook. Headphones in, you’re switched off from life and
the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film-in your head. From a scientific
perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a greater sense of empathy as
you hear the emotion of the narrator. We can more easily understand inflection and intonation.
Hearing the story engages different parts of the brain, heightening the intensity and imagery,
making you enjoy it more.
All in all, it seems that there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks.
Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format. It may
just change your whole literary experience.
