The incident took place, believe it or not, on the playground. I was something of a football
player, but I had never been a good player, far less a great one. I played for the mere physical joy
that I got out of the game, but I played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The
result was that, though I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college
team.
Let me confess frankly that this was only because there was another player in the same
position who happened to be much better than me. I considered myself the better sportsman, but
he was certainly the greater player. So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and
bide my time.
And at last my patience was rewarded. It was for me a very special day. Our team had shot up
into the final and was meeting its rival(竞争对手). Our starplayer sent word at the last moment
that he was ill and he could not take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The
thought was that the game was as good as lost, and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our
trump card(王牌): That is what everybody always said. However, something had to be done, and
that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost apologetically for having failed
to recognize my greatness before, and—there I was, on the playground, greeted by the cheers of
my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess.
I can tell you that I played like a demon(魔鬼). I was here, there and everywhere—now
leading the attack, now falling back to help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling moment in my
life. For a time, I was the center of all attention, the object of universal applause, and “the
observed of all observers”. And, believe it or not, it was I who put in the winning goal. It marked
2the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed pleasure and
satisfaction.

Cities are difficult to navigate (导航) at the best of times, but for people with disabilities they
can be like courses with hurdles and bring inconvenience to disabled people.
A UK national travel survey found that adults with mobility difficulties took 39% fewer trips
than those with no disability in 2017. Yet that could change as devices and cities grow smarter.
Assistive tech is playing a big role in the transformation. The global value of the industry is
expected to increase from $14 billion in 2015 to $30.8 billion in 2024, according to Zion Market
Research.
One of the things that could transform lives is a smart walking stick designed by engineers
from Young Guru Academy (YGA) in Turkey. The WeWalk stick has a sensor that detects hurdles
3
学科网（北京）股份有限公司above chest level and uses vibrations (振动) to warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphone
to help navigation, and is connected with a voice assistant and Google Maps.
Ceylan, who has been blind since birth, says that connecting the stick to the Internet of
Things and smart city solutions makes it user-friendly. “As a blind person, when I am at the Metro
station I don’t know which is my exit ... I don’t know which bus is approaching ... which stores are
around me. That kind of information can be provided with the WeWalk,” he says.
“The smart walking stick is really an exciting initiative that will make a huge difference to
some people,” says Anna Lawson, the director of the Center for Disability Studies at Leeds
University in the United Kingdom. “But they are very expensive ... they’re not going to be
available to the vast majority of disabled people,” she added.
Bryan Matthews, a lecturer at the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds,
shares the concerns about cost. He says there should also be a focus on inclusive design, and
anything that helps people navigate their environment is positive.
8．What does “that” in the second paragraph refer to?
A．The survey that compared adults’ mobility.
B．The smart industry that is booming.
C．The fact that the disabled traveled less.
D．The role that the assistive tech plays.
9．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．The working principles of the WeWalk stick.
B．The introduction of the WeWalk stick inventors.
C．The transformation caused by the WeWalk stick.
D．The benefits brought about by the WeWalk stick.
10．What’s the purpose of quoting Ceylan?
A．To show the value of smart tech.
B．To urge more attention to the blind.
C．To increase the potential market share.
D．To encourage tech research and development.
11．What is the disadvantage of the WeWalk stick?
A．Confusing instructions. B．Poor navigation.
C．Inclusive designs. D．High prices.

Avoid the supermarket shelves piled with cheese, cupcakes and pies. That is the message of
an analysis that found these items are the worst when looking at both nutritional and
environmental impacts of thousands of food and drink products sold in the UK and Ireland. So far,
most studies have focused on the environmental impact of goods such as beef or beans, rather than
tofu and other products that shoppers often buy. Where research has focused on such products, it
has usually been for a small number of them.
In a bid to bridge the gap, Micheal Clark at the University of Oxford and his colleagues
analyzed more than 57,000 food and drink products sold in the UK and Ireland. The team took the
ingredients (成份) data from eight retailers (零售商), including major supermarkets Tesco and
Sainsbury’s. However, precise figures on how much of each ingredient is in each product were
only available for around a tenth of them. To estimate the rest, Clark and his colleagues trained an
algorithm (算法) on the known products and used it to predict the composition of the unknown
ones. Finally, the team linked all the ingredients to an existing database of environmental impacts,
including emissions (排放), land use and water stress.
The results may come as no surprise: meat, fish and cheese products had highest
environmental impact while fruit, vegetables, bread and sugary drink products had the lowest
burden. Clark admits that none of this is exciting, given what we already knew from past research.
“What is important is that you can start getting these impact estimates for products that people are
purchasing, which then has a lot of effects,” he says.
One of those is eco-lables, which can help consumers to make greener choices. However,
retailers have struggled in the past with the challenge of the large number of food. Clark is
thinking about how to eventually turn the data into an app that could be used either by shoppers or
by retailers wanting to reduce their environmental impact. “We’ve made that information available
in a way that means people can start making informed decisions,” he says.
12．What is the purpose of Clark’s study?
A．To solve the environmental problems with some products.
B．To point out the mistakes of the previous research.
C．To focus on the important ingredients data from retailers.
D．To estimate the environmental impact of frequently-bought products.
5
学科网（北京）股份有限公司13．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．The process of Clark’s study. B．The result of Clark’s study.
C．The significance of Clark’s study. D．The limitation of Clark’s study.
14．What can be inferred about Clark’s study from Paragraph 3?
A．Surprising. B．Worrying. C．Meaningful. D．Doubtful.
15．Which of the following products should people buy according to Clark’s study?
A．Nutritious food like beef and eggs. B．Green food like carrots and bananas.
C．Healthy food like fish and tofu. D．Fresh food like milk and chicken

For the holiday gathering, you may be wondering how you’re going to pull it off. Before we
go into the specifics, a few words of general advice: You don’t have to throw the party your
parents did. 16
We talked to a party-planning expert, Miller. Here’s her advice on how to host a stress-free
holiday gathering without losing your mind.
17
The best way to avoid being exhausted is to be prepared. Many seasoned hosts set their tables
several days in advance. “Always pretend your event is a few days before.” Miller says. 18
She recommends cleaning the house, rounding up an extra dining chair and buying drinks a few
days in advance.
Pick a serving setup.
Before you choose your menu, determine your serving style. 19 If you’ve got the
space for it, a family-style meal — where people sit around a table and food is passed on big
plates — can cut down on the need for complicated decorations. “Food can be part of the design,
so you’re not going crazy with flowers or anything,” she says.
Embrace a mixed menu.
The pandemic has made takeout an option not only for family dinners, but also for
entertaining, because many restaurants now offer specific holiday dinner dishes to take home.
20 “You can do a party with literally no cooking,” Ramos says. “I like to live in the in-
between, but it’s up to you.” Time- and stress-savers include relying on make-ahead dishes.
A．This is your show.
6B．Dress the house in your own style.
C．Be prepared with a carefully worked-out plan.
D．You can get great food from so many local places.
E．Throw a party that isn’t on the holiday itself.
F．Buffets are good if you don’t have a large dining table.
G．There is always work you have to do at the last minute.

I never imagined that an interstate trip could be so exciting.
But when your world has become smaller since the pandemic hit two-and-a-bit years ago, and
then slowly 21 , the most ordinary experience gives new 22 to life. And so it was
with me when I was 23 given the chance to take my first flight in more than two years.
I’d forgotten how it felt to be among the people coming and going. I got to the airport two
hours before boarding. Time for the bar and, of course, 24 .
That group of young Arab women laughing and posing for photographs by the expansive
windows, aircraft in the 25 , lighting up the place with their happiness.
The man in the corner drinking alone. Just another one of the 70,000 or so stories that would
pass through the airport 26 .
I’ve never been a calm flyer. But when the plane took off I was 27 , in that moment of
weightlessness as the wheels 28 Earth, leaning towards the window to watch everything
below becoming smaller and smaller.
Is it possible that the denial of so much during the pandemic lockdown had added new 29
to what was the ordinary? I think so. The plane ride, the hotel stay, and the social occasion all now
gave me a sense of 30 that might have previously only aroused in me nothing more than
a certain nonchalance(若无其事)or even 31 .
Last June, just ahead of the long Sydney lockdown, a friend 32 a birthday party.
That experience for me would continue happily through some of the 33 months of the
lockdown that would follow. 34 the repeated fear that the pandemic holds over us, the
memory of that celebration still keeps its bright, warm light in my mind. That’s what happens
when everything old is new again, when 35 is rediscovered as a virtue.

“Where’s the rest of my paper?” thundered an angry Papa Bear, storming into the living
room. It didn’t take him long to find Brother Bear and the sports section.
“I just borrowed it.” said Brother. Papa snatched it up and plumped down in his easy chair.
Brother wandered into the kitchen looking for sympathy from Mama Bear. “Gee,” he said, “what’s
eating him?” “Your father looks forward to his evening paper,” Mama said, “and he has a perfect
right to be annoyed when half of it is missing — and furthermore, thank you not to refer to your
father as him!”
She stomped out of the kitchen.
“Why not? He’s a him, isn’t he? Gosh,” said Brother, “what’s eating her?”
What was “eating” Mama was Sister Bear. Sister had been on the phone with Lizy Bruin for
almost an hour.
“But Mama!” she protested when she was told to say good-bye.
“Don’t But Mama’ me!“ said Mama Bear. “This is not your private phone. You’ve had all day
to talk to Lizy at school, and you’ll have all day to talk to her tomorrow. So hang up that phone
now!”

“Phew!” breathed Brother as he fell into the seat beside Cousin Fred on the school bus.
“Tough morning?” asked Fred.
“You better believe it!” said Sister, taking the seat Lizzy had saved for her.
The four compared notes on the way to school. The children agreed that while there was no
doubt that their parents loved them, they were a little difficult to get along with sometimes. They
nagged (唠叨); they said no a lot; and they never wanted kids to have any fun.
“Hey,” said Brother as they got off the bus, “what are we going to do for the Parents Night
Talent Show?” “Don’t know,” said Lizzy. “Let’s think about it”
When the four searched their brains, Brother snapped his fingers and said, “I’ve got it!
Remember what we were talking about just now?” “Sure,” said Fred. “We were saying how
grownups can be a big pain.”
Paragraph one:公众号：全元高考
“Well,” said Brother, “let’s put on a play about that, and call it...”
Paragraph two:
