1.W: I’d like to book two train tickets to London tomorrow morning, after the rush hour.
M: No problem. Just give me a minute. There are three here at 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00.
Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?
2. M: Our school is replacing printed textbooks with E-textbooks next semester. I can’t wait.
W: Really? But tablets have too many distractions.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
3.W: 500 dollars? Do you typically spend that much on a pair of casual trousers?
M: They’re a little pricey, yes, but they are special. Bear in mind they will last me several years and they
are very fashionable too.
Q: What does the man think of the trousers?
4.M: What we need is a roommate who is neat and clean.
W: let’s write that in the advertisement: neatness is a must.
Q: What do the two speakers want to do?
5.W: What’s that orange thing on your computer screen?
M: It’s something I bought yesterday. It’s a plastic sheet that blocks the computer’s blue light. You know,
the blue light will harm our eyes.
Q: Why does the man cover the computer screen with the plastic sheet?
6.M: We are the only movie theatre in the whole country that only shows foreign movies.
W: Is there enough demand for that? I would have thought that in London, most people don’t speak
foreign languages.
Q: What does the woman mean?
7. W: I’m only interested in the new classes, so how much of a discount is there on these 2 new classes?
M: The same discount of 20% is being offered to everyone at the door on a first-come-first-serve basis for
the first month. But you come too late.
Q: What does the man imply?8. M: Hey, haven’t seen you for a long time. Why don’t we have a snack and do some catching up?
W: Yeah, why not?
Q: What will they most probably do next?
9. W: As an emotional learner, I organize my notes into a story that I can connect to and recite to myself.
M: That’s amazing. I didn’t know there are so many different ways to learn.
Q: Why does the woman change her notes into a story?
10. M: I can’t believe that duck hunting is still legal in so many parts of the world. The scientific evidence
clearly indicates a decline in the birds’ population.
W: But can anyone be sure whether the decline is really caused by the hunting or by climate change?
Q: What does the woman imply?

M: Hello, Professor Smith, I’m John Wishart. I’m working on my entry for the Global Design Competition. My
tutor said you might be able to help me with it.
W: Ah, yes, I got a copy of your drawings. What sort of competition is it?
M: Well, it’s an international design competition and we have to come up with a new design for a typical domestic
kitchen appliance.
W: I see, and are there any special conditions? Does it have to save energy for example?
M: Actually, that was the focus in last year’s competition. This year’s different. We have to adopt an innovative
approach to existing technology, using it in a way that hasn’t been thought of before.
W: I see. What kitchen appliance have you chosen?
M: Well, I decided to choose the dishwasher.
W: Interesting, what made you choose that?
M: Well, they’re an everyday kitchen appliance in most Australian houses but they’re all pretty boring and almost
identical to each other. I think some people will be prepared to pay a little extra for something that looks
different.W: That’s a nice idea. I see you’ve called your design ‘the Rockpool’, why is that?
M: Basically, because it looks like the rock pools you find on a beach. The top is made of glass so that you can look
down into it.
W: And there’s a stone at the bottom. Is that just for decoration?
M: Actually, it does have a function. Instead of pushing a button, you turn the stone.
W: So, it’s really just a novel way of starting the dishwasher.
11. Why does John come to Professor Smith?
12. What’s the focus of this year’s competition?
13. Why has John chosen dishwashers?
14. What’s the function of the stone at the bottom?
Questions 15 through 17 are based on the following passage.
For a lot of people, summer is a time to enjoy the sun, have a vacation and relax. But if you need to study this
summer, it’s very important to create a study schedule so you have enough time for your studies as well as time to
enjoy your break. Here are four tips for you.
First, get started with your schedule. The sooner you start, the sooner all your work is done and you’re free to
do whatever you want during the holidays.
Next, create a to-do list of everything that needs to get done. Write everything in order of their deadlines and
separate them by subject, so that you can see everything you need to cover in the study plan.
Then, plan it out. Make a schedule using a calendar or Excel. It could be daily, weekly or monthly depending
on which way you prefer to plan. Include all the tasks you want to complete in that time period. Plan your time
using two kinds of time blocks: free time and fixed time. Free time is when you have other summer activities and
relax. Fixed time is when you need to do something which you’ve determined beforehand regardless of most
situations.
The last tip is to stick with it. Put your study plan where you can see it often. Each morning sees what you
need to do and try to get it done. Reward yourself for completing the things you need to do and cross them off your
schedule.
15. According to the passage, how should a to-do list be arranged?
16. What should you do in fixed time?
17. Who is the passage intended for?
Questions 18 through 20 are based on the following passage.Most of us are actually terrible at giving gifts. Research has shown that givers are fascinated with the moment
of unwrapping a gift even more than the gift itself. We want something from giving: looks of delight. This is why
items like hyper-specific kitchen appliances and fancy old-fashioned clocks all seem like fantastic gifts.
But it turns out receivers often want things that are far more practical—things they can actually use. In one
study, researchers asked givers and receivers to rate gifts based on: desirability, like a fancy but complicated coffee
maker, and practicability, like a coffee maker you can actually use without studying the instructions. They found
that givers reliably chose the desirable gifts. But receivers preferred practicability.
How can we design a gift-giving formula that is efficient and emotional as you want to be? A good way is to
tell people what you want. A 2011 study looked at Amazon wish lists to determine if people were more appreciative
of gifts from the list versus gifts that were total surprises. It turned out when people got gifts that weren’t on their
list, they actually saw them as less thoughtful and less personal. Surprise is overrated—we’re happier to get what
we ask for.
18. Why do gift givers prefer seemingly fantastic gifts?
19. According to the passage, which of the following do receivers value most about gifts?
20. How can we get a gift we desire?
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.
Going Hungry in the Land of the Rich
The United States is one of the world’s wealthiest countries. Despite this, many Americans struggle just to put
healthy food, or any food at all, on the table every day. One might think that a food shortage ____ 2 1____ (happen)
in America, but this is not the case. There is more than sufficient food for everyone, 40% of ____ 2 2____ is
unfortunately, wasted every day. There are many different ways food ____ 2 3____ (waste): farmers only pick the
best-looking crops, deliveries aren’t made on time, supermarkets throw out extra products, customers buy more
than they need, and so on. The highest level of wastage tends to happen in the richest communities.
Meanwhile, people who live in poor or rural areas often have little or no access to food. These areas are called
“food deserts.” They have fewer supermarkets, and the only food options that they ____ 2 4____ afford are often
unhealthy ones. Healthy foods ____ 2 5____ fresh fruits and vegetables may be impossible to find. Sadly, 12.8% ofthe American population live in food deserts.
What can we do to help ____ 2 6____ who don’t have enough food? Shirley and Annie Zhu came up with a
solution. In 2017, when Hurricane Harvey destroyed over 100,000 homes in their city, Houston, the sisters got
involved. ___ 2 7___ helping to clear water from a flooded supermarket, they saw a huge amount of food being
wasted. At the same time, thousands of people in the city didn’t have enough ____ 2 8____ (eat).
The girls set up Fresh Hub with 10 of their classmates, ____ 2 9____ (hope) to do something to help. They
created an app which could be used by residents to find out ____ 3 0____ fresh food was available. Then they
contacted local farmers and supermarkets to ask for their extra food. To date, Fresh Hub has delivered more than
15,000 pounds of food to people in need.
【答案】21. is happening 22. which 23. is wasted 24. can 25. such as 26. those 27.
While/When 28. to eat 29. hoping 30. whether/if/what/where
【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了美国作为一个富裕国家,许多美国人每天都在努力为自己摆上健康
食物甚至任何食物。然而,事实并非如此。美国拥有足够的食物供应,但每天有 40%的食物被浪费掉。导
致食物浪费的原因有很多,包括农民只选择外观最好的农作物,送货不准时,超市扔掉多余的产品,顾客
购买超过需求的食物等等。
21.考查动词时态。句意:有人可能会认为美国正在发生食物短缺,但事实并非如此。根据句子结构和上下
文,happen 是宾语从句谓语动词,表示“现在正在发生”的事情,用现在进行时,从句主语 a food
shortage,从句谓语单数形式。故填is happening。
22.考查定语从句。句意:每个人都有足够的食物,不幸的是,每天有40%的食物被浪费。分析句子可知,
此处是“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词food指物,关系词替代先行词在从句中作介
词of的宾语,用关系代词which。故填which。
23.考查动词时态和语态。句意:食物浪费的方式有很多:农民只挑选最好看的作物,没有按时送货,超市
扔掉多余的产品,顾客买的比他们需要的多,等等。分析句子可知,此处为限制性定语从句谓语动词的填
入,从句主语food和从句谓语动词waste为被动关系,结合该句句意可知,应为陈述客观事实,所以为一
般现在时,从句主语不可数名词,从句谓语单数形式。故填is wasted。
24.考查情态动词。句意:他们的超市更少,他们唯一能负担得起的食物选择往往是不健康的。根据句意和
语法,此处需要使用情态动词 can,表示“能够”,强调穷人和农村地区经常无法支付健康食品的价格。
故填can。
25.考查介词短语。句意:像新鲜水果和蔬菜这样的健康食品可能是不可能找到的。此处需要使用介词短语
“such as”,表示“例如”,用来列举健康食品的例子。故填such as。26.考查代词。句意:我们能做些什么来帮助那些没有足够食物的人呢?根据上下文句意可知,此处应为代
词those表示“那些”没有足够食物的人,为限制性定语从句who don’t have enough food的先行词。故填
those。
27.考查时间状语从句。句意:在帮助清理被洪水淹没的超市的水时,他们看到了大量被浪费的食物。首字
母大写,根据句意,此处需要使用时间状语从句省略句的连词,表示“当……的时候”,可用连词 While
或When引导。故填While/When。
28.考查动词不定式。句意:与此同时,城市里成千上万的人没有足够的食物。根据句意和语法,此处需要
使用不定式形式作后置定语,表示“吃的东西”。故填to eat。
29.考查非谓语动词。句意:女孩们和她们的10个同学一起建立了Fresh Hub,希望能做点什么来帮助别人。
分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,hope和逻辑主语The girls为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。
故填hoping。
30.考查宾语从句。句意:他们开发了一个应用程序,居民可以用它来查找是否有新鲜食物/居民可以使用
它来了解有什么新鲜食物/居民可以使用它来了解哪里有新鲜食物。根据句意和语法,此处需要使用宾语
从句的引导词,该空可表示“是否”,用 whether/if引导宾语从句;也可用连接代词what作定语,修饰名
词短语fresh food,表“什么新鲜食物”;还可用连接副词where在从句中作地点状语,表“哪里”。故填
whether/if/what/where。
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.
A. objected B. choices C. inequality D. combination E. paid F. respond
G. personality H. fade I. reduce J. inherited K. environmental
What makes us happy?
You probably know the type of personality in some people: they seem to be hopeful in almost everything. Are
they simply born happy? Is it the product of their environment? Or does it come from their life decisions?
If you are familiar with genetics research, you will have guessed that it is a ____ 31 ____ of all three. A 2018
study of 1516 Norwegian twins suggests that around 30% of the differences in people’s life satisfaction is
____ 32 ____ . Much of this seems to be related to personality traits.
To put this in context, the heritability of IQ is thought to be around 80%, so ____ 33 ____ factors clearly play
a role in our happiness. These include our physical health, the size and strength of our social network, job
opportunities and income. It seems that the absolute value of our salary matters less than whether we feel richerthan those around us, which may explain why the level of ____ 34 ____ predicts happiness better than GDP.
Interestingly, many important life ____ 3 5____ have only a little influence on our happiness. Consider
marriage. A 2019 study found that, on average, life satisfaction does rise after the wedding, but the feeling of
happiness tends to ____ 3 6____ over middle age.
Parenthood is even more complex. For decades, social scientists have found that people with children at home
are significantly less happy than those without. More recent research, however, suggests that there are important
regional differences.
Analyses show that these differences can be almost completely explained by variations in ____ 3 7____
parental leave, flexible working hours, affordable childcare and holiday leave, which together ____ 3 8____ the
potential for work-family conflict. The effects of these policies may play out across generations. In addition to the
legacy of their genes, parents’ own emotional well-being will influence the family vigour, which will, in turn, shape
the ____ 3 9____ of their children.
Our life satisfaction, then, is shaped by our genes, health, economic prospects, relationships and the culture
around us. While many of these things may be beyond your control, there is now good evidence that certain
psychological strategies will help you to ____ 4 0____ to your circumstances in the happiest way possible.
【答案】31. D 32. J 33. K 34. C 35. B 36. H 37. E 38. I 39. G 40. F
【解析】这是一篇说明文。人类的幸福感受到基因、环境和人生决定的共同影响,其中的影响比例又各有
不同,文章对此进行了介绍。
31.考查名词。句意:如果你熟悉遗传学研究,你会猜到这是三者的结合。根据前文“Are they simply born
happy? Is it the product of their environment? Or does it come from their life decisions?(他们只是天生幸福吗?
是环境的产物吗?还是来自他们的人生决定?)”可知,此处是指这是三者的结合,所以应用名词
combination表示“组合”。故选D。
32.考查过去分词。句意:2018年对1516对挪威双胞胎进行的一项研究表明,人们生活满意度的差异中约
有30%是遗传的。根据后文“To put this in context, the heritability of IQ is thought to be around 80%(在此背景
下,智商的遗传性被认为在80%左右)”可知,此处是指人们生活满意度的差异中约有30%是遗传的,所以
应用过去分词inherited表示“遗传的”。故选J。
33.考查形容词。句意:在此背景下,智商的遗传率被认为在80%左右,所以环境因素显然在我们的幸福中
起着作用。根据后文“These include our physical health, the size and strength of our social network, job
opportunities and income.(这些因素包括我们的身体健康、社交网络的规模和强度、工作机会和收入。)”可
知,此处是指环境因素。所以应用形容词environmental表示“环境的”。故选K。34.考查名词。句意:我们薪水的绝对值似乎不如我们是否觉得自己比周围的人更富有重要,这或许可以解
释为什么不平等程度比GDP更能预测幸福。根据“the absolute value of our salary matters less than whether
we feel richer than those around us”可知,此处是指不平等程度比GDP更能预测幸福,所以应用名词
inequality表示“不平等”。故选C。
35.考查名词。句意:有趣的是,许多重要的生活选择对我们的幸福只有很小的影响。根据后文“Consider
marriage.(看看婚姻。)”可知,此处是指许多重要的生活选择。所以应用名词choices表示“选择”。故选
B。
36.考查动词。句意:2019年的一项研究发现,平均而言,结婚后生活满意度确实会上升,但幸福感往往
会在中年后消退。根据转折词but可知,此处是指幸福感往往会在中年后消退,所以应用动词fade表示
“消退”。故选H。
37.考查形容词。句意:分析表明,这些差异几乎完全可以用带薪育儿假、灵活的工作时间、负担得起的儿
童保育和假期等方面的差异来解释,这些因素共同减少了工作与家庭冲突的可能性。根据“parental leave,
flexible working hours, affordable childcare and holiday leave”可知,此处是指带薪育儿假,所以应用形容词
paid表示“有报酬的,领取薪金的”。故选E。
38.考查动词。句意:分析表明,这些差异几乎完全可以用带薪育儿假、灵活的工作时间、负担得起的儿童
保育和假期等方面的差异来解释,这些因素共同减少了工作与家庭冲突的可能性。根据“paid parental
leave, flexible working hours, affordable childcare and holiday leave”可知,此处是指这些因素共同减少了工
作与家庭冲突的可能性,所以应用动词reduce表示“减少”。故选I。
39.考查名词。句意:除了遗传基因外,父母自身的情感健康也会影响家庭活力,而家庭活力反过来又会塑
造孩子的个性。根据“parents’ own emotional well-being will influence the family vigour, which will, in turn,
shape”可知,此处是指家庭活力反过来又会塑造孩子的个性,所以应用名词personality表示“个性”。故
选G。
40.考查动词。句意:虽然其中许多事情可能是你无法控制的,但现在有充分的证据表明,某些心理策略可
以帮助你以尽可能快乐的方式应对你的环境。根据“to your circumstances in the happiest way possible”可知,
此处是指以尽可能快乐的方式应对你的环境,所以应用动词respond表示“应对”。故选F。
III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分;56-70每题2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
Mathematics has an image problem: far too many people are put off by it and conclude that the subject just
isn’t for them. But one of the biggest problems is how maths is ____41____, as cold and dry.
I have a different approach which is to relate abstract maths to questions of politics and social justice. I have
taught fairly maths-phobic (恐惧) art students in this way and have seen their attitudes ____42____. They now
believe maths is ____43____ them and can genuinely help them.
At a basic level, maths is founded on logic, so when I am teaching logic, I use examples from ____44____
events rather than the old-fashioned type of problem. Instead of studying the logic of a statement like “all dogs
have four legs”, I might discuss the statement “all immigrants are illegal”.
,
But I do this with specific mathematical structures too. ____45____, I teach a type of structure called an
ordered set, which is subject to an order relation such as “is less than”. We then study and ask which functions are
“order-preserving”. A typical example might be the function that takes a(n) ____46____ number and maps it to the
number obtained from multiplying by 2. We would then say that if x < y then also 2x < 2y, so the function is order-
preserving.
____47____, rather than sticking to this type of dry mathematical example, I introduce issues like privilege
and wealth. If we think of one ordered set with people ordered by status, we can make a function to another set
where the people are now ordered by ____48____ instead. If someone has a higher status, are they automatically
wealthier? We can also ask about working hours and ____49____: if someone works more hours, do they
____50____ earn more? The answer there is clearly not.
My approach is controversial because, traditionally, maths is supposed to be ____51____ and apolitical (与
政治无关的). I have been ____52____ by people who think my approach will be off-putting (令人烦恼的) to
those who don’t care about social justice. However, the dry approach is off-putting to those who do care. In fact, I
believe that all academic disciplines should address our most important issues. Abstract maths is about making
thorough logical arguments, which is linked to everything. I don’t ____53____ that students agree with me about
politics, but I do ask that they construct thorough arguments to back up their thoughts and develop the crucial
ability to analyze the logic of people they ____54____.
Maths isn’t just about numbers and equations (方程式); it is about studying different ____55____ systems.
We can apply it to balls rolling down different hills, but we can also apply it to pressing social issues. I think we
should do both, for the sake of society and to be more inclusive towards different types of students in maths

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者对于数学以及数学教学的一些心得体会、方法和感悟。
41.考查动词词义辨析。句意:但是最大的问题之一是数学是如何被冷冰冰地呈现出来的。A. dismissed解
散;B. presented代表,呈现;C. doubted怀疑;D. neglected忽视。根据上文“Mathematics has an image
problem: far too many people are put off by it and conclude that the subject just isn’t for them.(数学有一个形象问
题:有太多的人对它望而却步,认为这门学科不适合他们)”可知,此处指数学被呈现的方式有问题,被冷
冰冰地呈现出来。故选B。
42.考查动词词义辨析。句意:我用这种方法教过一些对数学相当恐惧的艺术类学生,我看到他们的态度发
生了转变。A. transformed转换;B. defined定义;C. illustrated说明;D. examined检查。根据后文“can

Section B
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 write this on a spring morning, in the van I have called home for two years now.
From one small window, I have a view of joggers pounding the sunny path by the Oxford Canal, and the other
looks onto the busy railway line along which trains travel from Southampton Docks to Birmingham.
The woods where I’ve parked my van have grown up between them. This ancient van, a vehicle designed for
freedom and the open road, has proved a stable solution for surviving the current housing crisis.
I became a travel writer after my studies ended, committing to brief “residencies” with museums and art
centres—where temporary accommodation is often provided in exchange for producing new work about a
community. Over the years that followed, living and working on location in the polar regions or Scandinavia or the
Alps, not settling down for very long, meant wherever I landed was always “home”.
During the pandemic it was necessary to adopt a more permanent engagement with locality. Oxford had often
drawn me back. It’s a crossroads of reality and the imagination, the perfect city for a writer.
It takes a surprising amount of work to keep a tiny home in order: buying a used van online; ensuring thesmooth running of a gas cooker and car batteries; fetching water and emptying the mobile toilet. I began to enjoy
taking care of my immediate surroundings. Over the summer, I worked to turn waste-ground into a wild garden,
replacing weeds with wild plants.
I made friends with the self-sufficient boaters living nearby, always ready to share knowledge on the low-
carbon simplicity of life without electricity. I’ve learnt that comfort can be found away from the bright
infrastructure of urban life: in watching the birds that nest in the tree and the foxes playing in the woods at dawn, in
making a cup of coffee on a spring morning.
My step away from conventional housing has been a necessary act of personal economy, but the benefits
include taking nothing for granted, and unexpected delight.
56. Why did the writer make the van his home?
A. Because the feature of the van and that of his occupation are matching.
B. Because the van is equivalent to a crossroads of reality and the imagination.
C. Because the views of joggers and trains outside the van can relieve his pressure.
D. Because living and working on location in the polar regions are appealing to him.
57. What does “immediate surroundings” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. a used van B. a gas cooker C. a wild garden D. a mobile toilet
58. Which of the following is the benefit of unconventional housing?
A. Joining joggers to do exercise. B. Keeping a tiny home in order easily.
C. Improving the economy of Oxford. D. Embracing delightful surprises.
59. What’s the writer’s attitude towards living in the van?
A. Cautious. B. Ironical. C. Favorable. D. Neutral.

(C)
The United Nations Food Systems Summit(峰会)held last September was overshadowed by a powerful
counter-moblilization effort led by farmers and scientists and small-scale food producers across the world.
Opposition to the summit had been mounting since July, when hundreds of grassroots organizations
challenged the organizers for framing the problem of food systems in narrow, technocratic ways and offering “false
solutions” such as biotechnological interventions(干预)instead of promoting more sustainable, just and people-first
ways of farming. Also in July the Philippines approved commercial cultivation of Bt eggplant, a genetically
modified (GM) food that produces a protein that kills eggplant fruit and “Golden Rice” changed to produce beta-
carotene, the forerunner of vitamin A. The Philippines thus became the first country in South and Southeast Asia of
approve GM rice.
Advocates of GM crops praised the Philippines’ move as a victory of science. Since the U. N.’s food summit
was announced two years ago, different groups have steadily reduced applications of science to global problems to
a limited set of investor-oriented innovations. Within this orbit, agricultural biotechnology and digitalization are
boasted as vital to achieving the U. N.’s sustainable development goals. As governments now debate the way
forward from the summit, it is critical to recognize that a narrow focus on technology to address the complex
structural problems of farming and food has an astonishingly poor track record.
At its base, GM crops are rooted in a colonial-capitalist model of agriculture based on theft of local land and
on exploiting farmers’ and food workers’ labor, native knowledge and the web of lift itself. Today this agricultural
model is responsible not only for increasing farm debt, depleted soils, and threats to native seeds and biodiversity
but also the destruction of farmers’ knowledge and skills. For the world to achieve sustainability, this colonial
model of agriculture must be dismissed, and promising agroecological approaches based on working with
biodiversity and farmers’ knowledge and skills should be brought to center stage.
Most GM crops are engineered with resistance to herbicides(除草剂)and insects, which has not only
contributed to the emergence of “super-weeds” and increasing pesticide use but has driven the global growth of
seed and chemical industries. These kinds of crops have principally benefited large-scale farmers, grain traders andmultinational corporations involved in selling seeds and pesticides.
Multinational agribusinesses have understood Golden Rice and Bt eggplant as pro-poor technologies to win
over smallholder farmers and consumers in the Global South. The International Rice Research Institute has led
Golden Rice’s development with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and in partnership with
Syngenta (which owns rights to the rice) to address vitamin A deficiency (VAD) among the poor, especially
children and pregnant women.
63. The recent Food Systems Summit was greeted with distrust because the organizers ________.
A. didn’t take the interests of people concerned into account
B. didn’t attach importance to the blossoming of agriculture
C. failed to come up with the effective initiatives with joint efforts
D. employed the inappropriate approaches to farming
64. What is the purpose of mentioning the Philippines’ case?
A. To prove the victory for the supporters of GM food.
B. To illustrate the Philippines’ opposition to the summit.
C. To argue it is a waste of money in the GM food.
D. To introduce how many nutrients GM food may contain.
65. ________ is advocated for the development of agriculture in the long run.
A. Exploiting farmers’ and food workers’ labor
B. Developing crops resistant to insects
C. Removing the colonial-capitalist model
D. Establishing partnership to address VAD
66. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The Philippines is a country with cutting-edge technologies.
B. The application of GM food will solve the problem of environment.
C. Governments have initiated into the complex structural farming problems.
D. The booming pesticide industry is credited to the cultivation of GM food.
【答案】63. D 64. A 65. C 66. D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是去年9月举行的联合国粮食系统首脑会议遭到了世界各地越来越多
农民与草根组织的的反对,人们都希望将促进更可持续、公正、以人为本的农业模式,而不是继续殖民资
本主义的农业模式。
63.细节理解题。根据第二段的首句“Opposition to the summit had been mounting since July, when hundreds ofgrassroots organizations challenged the organizers for framing the problem of food systems in narrow, technocratic
ways and offering “false solutions” such as biotechnological interventions(干预)instead of promoting more
sustainable, just and people-first ways of farming.(自7月以来,对此次峰会的反对越来越多,当时数百个草根

的支持者的胜利。故选A项。
65.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“For the world to achieve sustainability, this colonial model of agriculture
must be dismissed, and promising agroecological approaches based on working with biodiversity and farmers’
knowledge and skills should be brought to center stage.(为了使世界实现可持续性,必须摒弃这种殖民时期的
农业模式,并将基于生物多样性和农民知识和技能的有希望的农业生态方法带到中心舞台)”可知,要从长
远角度发展农业就要摒弃这种殖民时期的农业模式。故选C项。
66.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Most GM crops are engineered with resistance to herbicides(除草剂)and
insects, which has not only contributed to the emergence of “super-weeds” and increasing pesticide use but has
driven the global growth of seed and chemical industries.(大多数转基因作物都具有对除草剂和昆虫的抗性,这
不仅导致了“超级杂草”的出现和杀虫剂的使用,而且推动了全球种子和化学工业的增长)”可推断,杀虫
剂等化学工业的全球发展是得益于大多数转基因食品的种植。故选D项。

How to Travel in Time
The term “NOSTALGIA”(怀旧)used to describe a mental disease. The “algia” bit means “pain”, and the wordwas coined by a 17th-century doctor treating homesick soldiers, whose symptoms included hallucinations(幻
觉)and depression. ____ 6 7____ And it’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory — choosing to
recapture moments from the past to enjoy them all over again.
As evidence, a recent report highlighted the increase in old songs being streamed on Spotify during lockdown.
It seems that we found strength in musical memories of happier times. ____ 6 8____ Because memory skills can take
you into the future, too — bringing a whole new set of rewards.
In another pandemic experiment, people wrote letters to their future selves, and found that they improved their
mood by imagining themselves safely on the other side of COVID-19. Here are my tips for becoming a confident
time traveller yourself:
*To reawaken happy feelings, use all your senses—not just sight. Smell, taste, touch and sound will also help
you to recreate the past in rich clarity. If you find a memory that’s particularly helpful — for reassurance, say —
keep using it! ____ 6 9____
* When you’re procrastinating(拖延), visualise an end result. Flash forward to see the floor swept or the
essay finished, and use that positive image to spur you into action.
* Ahead of major challenges, imagine the full impact of success. Don’t just picture yourself getting that great
job: fill your mind with the really big ways it’s going to change your life.
____ 7 0____ But the more you learn to control your memory, the better you’ll be at mining your past, and
shaping your future, to be your best self now.

IV.Summary Writing (共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.
Benefits of Green Spaces
We all know the value of taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allows your mind to relax and forget
about the problems in everyday life. Studies have commonly shown the benefits of being around green spaces,
including gardens, urban parks and forests.
But did you know that being in contact with these natural surroundings during childhood could positively
impact your mental health as an adult? A study by the Institute for Global Health surveyed 3,600 people from allover Europe.
The all-adult study gave participants a questionnaire (问卷) on how frequently they used natural spaces
during childhood — for example, playing in a garden or riding a bike at the park. They were also asked about the
importance they put on using such places. Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety
of questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a
four-week period. The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had
higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure — as did those who attached higher
importance to using green spaces. The study’s assistant, Wilma Smith, wrote that the results “show the importance
of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy
psychological state in adulthood”. She also stressed the importance of “recognizing the implications of growing up
in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”.
According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited access to natural spaces. So we call
on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children.
While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So remember to
make time to expose yourself to nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.

【答案】One possible version:
Researches show exposure to nature during childhood has a positive impact on mental health in adulthood.
Those using natural spaces more frequently and attaching greater importance to using them score higher in
psychological tests including problem-solving abilities and negative feelings’ analysis. Therefore, availability of
natural spaces should be improved by governments and being exposed to nature should be highlighted.
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说,研究表明,童年时期接触大自然对成年后的心理健康有积极影
响。那些更频繁地使用自然空间并更重视使用自然空间的人在心理测试中得分更高,包括解决问题的能力
和消极情绪的分析。因此,政府应该改善自然空间的可用性,并强调与自然接触。

72.坦白说,你昨天在会上表达的观点还是有争议的。(controversial)(汉译英)
【答案】Frankly speaking, what you said at the meeting yesterday is still controversial.
【解析】考查主语从句、固定短语和时态。“坦白说”作状语,用固定短语frankly speaking,位于句首,
首字母大写。主语“你昨天在会上表达的观点”用主语从句,根据“昨天”可知从句用一般过去时,故用
what you said at the meeting yesterday,其中what引导主语从句,且在从句中作said的宾语。“还是有争议
的”理解为“目前还是有争议的”故主句用一般现在时,故用is still controversial表示。故翻译为:Frankly
speaking, what you said at the meeting yesterday is still controversial.
73.这个案例太复杂,一时半会解释不清楚。(too…to…) (汉译英)【答案】This case is too complex/complicated to interpret/explain in (such) a short time/in a couple of minutes.
【解析】考查固定句型和形容词。根据句意,该句应使用“too…to…”结构,意为“太……而不能……”,
表示“这个案例”应为the case作主语,位于句首,首字母需大写,表示“太复杂”应为too complex或者
too complicated作表语,谓语动词应为be,结合句意可知,此处表示客观事实,所以使用一般现在时,be
动词为is,表示“一时半会解释不清楚”可转述为“在短时间内不能解释清楚”,表示“解释”应为
interpret或者explain,在该句中应使用不定式形式作结果状语,表示“在短时间内”应为 in (such) a short
time或者是in a couple of minutes。故翻译为This case is too complex/complicated to interpret/explain in (such)
a short time/in a couple of minutes。
74.只要这项研究的结果能够应用于新技术的开发,我们的努力就会得到回报。(so long as) (汉译英)
【答案】So long as the results of this research can be applied to the development of new technologies, our efforts
will be rewarded.
【解析】考查状语从句和动词。表示“只要”用so long as,其引导条件状语从句,时态符合“主将从现”
表示“研究的结果”用the results of this research;表示“能够应用于新技术的开发”用can be applied to the
development of new technologies,此处构成情态动词的被动语态;表示“我们的努力就会得到回报”用our
efforts will be rewarded,此处表示将来发生的动作,故使用一般将来时,同时our efforts与reward之间是被
动关系,故使用一般将来时的被动语态。故翻译为So long as the results of this research can be applied to the
development of new technologies, our efforts will be rewarded.
75. 她梦想记录祖国的壮丽风景, 这激励她去探索自然中尚未被发现的角落,并通过摄影来保留那份美丽。
(which) (汉译英)
【答案】She dreams of capturing the magnificent landscapes of her homeland, which motivates her to explore the
untouched corners of nature and preserve its beauty through (with) her photography.
【解析】考查动词短语、形容词、名词以及定语从句。表示“梦想做某事”应用动词短语 dream of doing
sth;表示“记录”应用动词 capture;表示“壮丽”应用形容词 magnificent;表示“激励”应用动词
motivate;表示“探索”应用动词 explore;表示“摄影”应用名词 photography。分析句子可知,表示
“这……”应用 which 引导非限定性定语从句。故翻译为:She dreams of capturing the magnificent
landscapes of her homeland, which motivates her to explore the untouched corners of nature and preserve its beauty
through (with) her photography.

【参考范文】
Dear Jim,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to introduce a unique and fragrant activity happening at my
school, the “Flowers and Fragrance into School” activity.
As part of this activity, our school has opened up a gardening optional course that teaches us about the habits
and characteristics of different flowers. The course aims to enhance our understanding and appreciation of flowers.
Additionally, we are encouraged to participate in hands-on activities by using our creativity to decorate our school
campus with flowers, creating a beautiful and fragrant environment for our learning and living.
Personally, this activity has had a profound impact on me. Not only have I learned a lot about flowers and
gardening, but also, the activity has taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and the appreciation
of nature’s beauty.
I hope this activity can also be implemented in your school to enhance the learning and living environment.
Best regards,
Li Hua
