(2022·云南省第一次统一检测)Choosing the most beautiful ski resort in the Alps is like picking the prettiest
diamond.
1．Saas-Fee, Switzerland
Unique selling points：the high-mountain setting, in-your-face glaciers.
Saas-Fee hit the right note as the setting for Wham！'s music video in 1984. It's a pleasing Swiss village
among glaciers and mountains. Fabled peaks of more than 4，000 meters dot the skyline.
Worth the trip：For you to rub shoulders with real mountaineers, the Britannia Hutte is a climbers' refuge,
just 15 minutes' walk from the nearest lift. A simple lunch on its sunny balcony offers grand views.
Britannia Hutte, 3906 Saas Fee, Switzerland
2．Alpbach, Austria
Unique selling points：Cute houses, the bygone feel.
Alpbach has long known what its best features are. The medieval (中世纪的) village's traditional wooden
farmhouses proved to be head-turners for early tourists and planners.
Farming is still very much alive here. It has landed the prize as “Austria's most beautiful village”. And the
competition for that one is tough.
Worth the trip：Böglalm is an Alpbach favourite, offering authentic local food such as beef soup and grilled
sausage.
Böglalm, 6236 Alpbach, Austria; ＋ 43 5336 5177
3．Megeve, France
Unique selling points：Mont Blanc views, the stylish center, scent of pine.
Megeve muscles its way into the list by virtue of its location, with close-up views of Mont Blanc, Western
Europe's highest peak. The town was one of the first purpose-built resorts in the Alps.
Worth the trip：Foodies are spoiled for choice in Megeve, especially in three-Michelin-starred Flocons de
Sel.
Flocons de Sel, 1775 Route du Leutaz, 74120 Megeve, France
4．Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy
Unique selling points：a magnet for the beautiful set, an Olympic site.
Just two hours north of Venice, Cortina d'Ampezzo is in a UNESCO World Heritage region. Cortina hosted the
Winter Olympics in 1956 and was the setting for a certain James Bond film.
Worth the trip：If it's good enough for Mr Bond, Miramonti Majestic Grand Hotel might do the job for you.
Miramonti Majestic Grand Hotel, Via Pezie 103, 32043 Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy; ＋ 39 0436 4201
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了阿尔卑斯山的四个滑雪胜地。

(2022·潍坊市模拟)Thirty-five years ago, with just one acre of land, a couple of seeds and a bucket of hope,
one Nigerian-born scientist began his mission to defeat famine (饥荒) on his continent.
News of the drought across Africa in the early 1980s troubled Nzamujo. Equipped with a PhD in microbiology
and his faith, he travelled back to Africa. There, he found a continent ecologically rich, diverse and capable of
producing food. He believed drought wasn't the only reason for widespread hunger, and that sustainability had been
left out.
Nzamujo began designing a “zero waste” agriculture system that would not only increase food security, but
also help the environment and create jobs. In 1985, he started his sustainable farm “Songhai” in Benin, a country in
western Africa.
Nzamujo lives on the farm and constantly updates his techniques. He owes Songhai's success to his degrees in
science and engineering. But he also thanks his spiritual and cultural roots, and his father — a driving force in his
life — who encouraged him to pursue his studies to the highest degree and to use Songhai to share his knowledge.
Songhai has several “eco-literacy” development programs. They range from 18-month training courses for
farmer enterprisers, to shorter stays to learn techniques like weeding. People come from all over the world to study
Nzamujo's methods.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司After seeing success on his first zero waste farm, he expanded it throughout western Africa. Today, the
Songhai model is applied across the continent. Nzamujo says they've trained more than 7，000 farmer enterprisers
and more than 30，000 people in total since it began.
Nzamujo believes zero waste agriculture is now steadily tackling the issues he set out to defeat: hunger,
unemployment and environmental declines. And he wants to see it go further.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。学识渊博且有责任心的Nzamujo博士回到非洲，设计“零浪费”农业

认为干旱并不是大范围饥荒的唯一原因，可持续性被人们忽略了。据此可知，在 Nzamujo看来，可持续性
是被人们忽略了的造成饥荒的一个原因，即人们没有注意到农业的不可持续性问题。
5．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A．Introduce a solution.
B．Give examples to the readers.
C．Add some background information.

C
(2022·甘肃省第一次诊断)It's no secret that walking is good for you. Many of us are trying to get in those
recommended 10，000 steps a day that our wearable fitness technology urges us to achieve. But how many calories
are we actually burning, and how can we get the most out of those steps? Find answers in these ways.
Do you know the truth about calorie-burning? Walking is a moderate intensity form of exercise. To get the
most calorie-burning benefits, then, it would seem that walking at a consistently light pace would make the most
sense. Pay attention to your heart rate and how you feel. Wearable technology can certainly provide an idea of
progress towards your calorie-burning goals. Using fitness tracker equipment to help you recognise when you
reach your target heart rate zones can help you maximize the calorie-burning.
Walking is often considered as a great fat-burning exercise, and with good reason. You can't really walk at
higher intensities because of the nature of the exercise; therefore, you end up in low-intensity zones, where you
tend to burn more fat. When you're walking at a lighter intensity with your heart rate in the 57% to 63% range, you
are more likely to be using fat for fuel. No matter what your speed is, the form matters. When done with a good
form, walking is an incredibly beneficial form of exercise for total health and wellness beyond mere calorie burn.
Moreover, walking is the most accessible form of exercise because it doesn't require any special clothes, equipment
or membership.
Whether your goal is fat loss, increased fitness or simply enhancing your overall health and wellness, walking
offers all these benefits and more.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何在走路的时候以最恰当的方式最大程度地燃烧卡
路里。
8．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A．To introduce the topic.
B．To compare walking with other exercise.
C．To explain the wearable fitness technology.
D．To show the importance of 10，000 steps a day.
解析：A 写作目的题。转折后面一般是叙述的重点，本段转折词But后的问句设置悬念，又根据第
一段最后一句可知，下文应该会回答这些问题，因此，本段旨在引出下文，即本文的主题。
9．What does the underlined word “intensity” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Depth. B．Strength.
C．Height. D．Distance.
解析：B 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的When you're walking ...57% to 63% range可知，当你以轻轻的
intensity走路，心率在57%到63%之间时。由此可以推测，intensity的意思与B项较为接近。
10．What can be inferred from the text?
A．Walking at high intensities is recommended.
B．Your walking speed is the most important to calorie-burning.
C．Walking can burn calories better if you walk in a proper form.

(2022·昆明市“三诊一模”)There is a time when many Americans question whether a college degree is
worth its cost. However, a recent study found Americans who completed college or university are more likely to
have friends and are less lonely than those who only finished high school.
Daniel Cox, director of the Survey Center on American Life, said that in general Americans are experiencing
a “friend recession”， meaning a decline in their number of friends. Cox noted “Americans have fewer close
friends today than we did in the early 1990s. But men and those without a college degree are particularly affected
because they seem to have experienced a much more dramatic decline over that period”．
The Center questioned 5，054 people this past summer. It found Americans with a college degree feel more
socially connected and are more active in their communities than people who didn't go to college. As a result, those
who completed college report feeling less lonely.
Previous research showed that Americans who didn't go to college are less likely to marry. A 2012 study found
that college-educated women are much more likely to get married than women who dropped out of high school. A
2013 study of people born between 1957 and 1964 found that both men and women who didn't finish high school
are less likely to marry than those with more education.
Today, 65 percent of college-educated Americans over age 25 are married. About 50 percent of people with a
high school diploma, or who dropped out of high school, are married. Those numbers were different in 1990, when
marriage rates among the college graduates were at 69 percent, compared with 63 percent for those who did not go
to college, says a Pew research report.
The American Community Life Survey found around 1 in 10 college graduates say they have no close social
connections. That number rises among Americans without a degree, where almost 1 in 4 say they have no close
friends.

PhD in Psychology.
They devote some of their time to giving.
Even though there are only 24 hours in a day, positive people fill some of that time doing good for others,
which in return does some good for the do-gooders themselves. A long-term research project called Americans'
Changing Lires found a series of benefits associated with altruism (利他主义). __19__ People of all ages who
volunteered were happier and experienced better physical health and less depression.
__20__
“When you listen, you open up your ability to take in more knowledge，” writes David Mezzapelle, author
