听力原文Text 1
W: Pass me the orange juice, please?
M: Sorry, I didn’t hear that. The kids are making such a noise.
W: I like peace and quiet while dining. They should play their pop songs elsewhere.
Text 2
M: Who was that knocking at the window? Did we lock Allie out again?
W: No, our kid has slept soundly. It was one of those wild turkeys in the neighborhood. They like to hit our door
and windows with their heads. They’re worse than the cat!
Text 3
W: It’s so cold here. Let’s go to the beach for the holiday. I found cheap tickets to the south of France in December.
M: I was thinking about a ski trip, but we can save that for February.
Text 4
M: Can you believe it? Just a few weeks ago we were wearing shorts and now we are wrapped up against winter
winds?
W: The weather changes so fast in this city. In summer it’s hot, and now we have this freezing weather. But spring
will soon come around.
Text 5
M: I’d like one pound of beef, two pounds of ham, and two more pounds of chicken. How much will that cost?
W: That will be $25, sir. I’ll have to cut the beef up. It should only take about five minutes.
Text 6
W: I got my driver’s license the day I turned 18, but my parents didn’t let me drive till three years later.
M: My parents bought me a second-hand car when I got my driver’s license.
W: You are lucky. I had to have all of my friends drive me around for years! They were all older than me by a few
months and still had their licenses before I did. What month were you born in? I was born in September. My
birthday is exactly two months after my sister’s!
M: I was born on Christmas actually. It gets a little annoying because we have to celebrate both and I don’t get my
own day!
Text 7
W: How was your camping trip last weekend, John?
M: Not great. The first night we stayed at one of those camping areas where you need to pay to get in. There were
too many people there, though.
W: So, what happened next?M: The next day we decided to hike about four hours to a spot where there wasn’t anybody around. That was a big
mistake.
W: Why?
M: None of us brought anything to make a fire with. Then it started raining, and we realized even with our warm
clothes it was too cold to stay overnight.
W: So what did you do?
M: We hiked back to the original camping area in complete darkness. We left the next morning because everyone
was too tired from the night before. What did you do?
W: I watched a movie at home by a nice wood fire.
Text 8
M: Roger is so intelligent. He thinks for himself. He’s a hard worker. He has good ideas and he doesn’t follow the
crowd.
W: So why does he do so badly in his exams?
M: Because he suffers from anxiety. He lacks confidence. His brain is so active and he thinks too much. When it
comes to exams, his intelligence actually works against him.
W: I wish we could help him. It seems so unfair that a person’s future can be determined by how well they perform
on one particular day.
M: It is unfair — but life is unfair. We must try to help him by showing him how to keep calm in stressful
situations.
W: How do we do that? I can’t say that I’m exactly an expert at dealing with stress, although I am better at it than I
used to be.
M: I can help him. I always think that exercise is a great way for dealing with stress and anxiety. When you have
exhausted yourself while doing exercise, you don’t have the energy to be nervous.
W: That is so right! I always feel calm after working out in the gym.
Text 9
M: How is the job hunt going?
W: I’ve applied to more than 20 jobs and had three interviews. I got two job offers but I do not really like either of
them.
M: Why not?
W: Neither of them gave me a good salary offer. I think I deserve more than that.
M: Have you researched what kind of salary your position should earn?W: Yes, and I should be getting much more than what they are offering me.
M: Well, do you like the companies and the benefits they are offering you?
W: I do, especially one of them called The Creator. They got a lot of great reviews from their employees, and they
are offering a great benefits package which includes medical and dental insurance and more holiday time than
any other company.
M: That’s great. Don’t just decline the job offer. You know what, you can negotiate the salary offer they give you.
(16)
W: I’d been at the company we were at for so long. I forgot about the job process. I am a little worried about asking
for more.
M: Listen! If they offered you a job, that means they want you! Especially in your field, data analytics, you are
needed in today’s job market. Everyone needs people to figure out what to do with all the data being collected.
W: You have a point. I will give them a call right now.
Text 10
Hello everyone, and thank you for inviting me to speak at your school. Now here is a big word for you—
volcanologist. That is my job. Volcanology is the study of volcanoes and I spend much of my time traveling to
volcanoes around the world. China can count itself lucky. It doesn’t have many active volcanoes. The last one
to erupt was in 1951. My job has taken me to many countries, from Italy to the U.S. I have just come back
from Indonesia, one of the most active volcanic areas. So why is my job important? Because when we
understand volcanoes, we can predict how they will behave and help protect the people who live near them
from possible harm. When we think of volcanoes erupting, we think of rocks but perhaps the biggest danger is
from ash. There have been some very famous volcano eruptions. Krakatoa, in Indonesia, erupted in 1883,
killing over 36,000 people. Santorini, in Greece, was ruined by an explosion about 3600 years ago. But the
most famous eruption was Vesuvius in Italy in 79 AD. Ash from the explosion buried the Roman towns of
Pompeii and Herculaneum, preserving them so well that we can now visit them today. They are a treasure for
historians, so you could say every volcanic cloud has a silver lining.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
(2021·福建厦门市高三模拟)Even for a civilization as advanced as the Harappan, a second drought was
perhaps one too many. The climate disaster may be what drove the ancient society to disappear step by.The Harappan started in the Indus valley around 5200 years ago, strongest around 2600 BC. Much about
them is unknown. Yet archaeological remains tell the story of the people, skilled in trade and city planning, and
particularly good at controlling water. Their huge cities, complete with excellent systems for underground water
and public baths, existed long before the Roman Empire.
But by 1900 BC, their society seemed to be on the fall, and by 1300 BC, the Harappan civilizations had
broken down. Several ideas have been put forward to explain the downfall, including invasion and climate change.
One recent study refers to a major drought in the northern half around 4200 years ago. This event was recently
considered as the start of the Meghalayan period. It is thought to have broken up climate systems around the world,
including the summer monsoon rainfall the Harappan depended on.
Nick Scroxton at University College Dublin, Ireland, and his team are now challenging this idea after
studying 10 ancient records. They found some facts of a sudden drought starting around 4260 years ago. The study
suggests the Harappan faced a sharp decrease in winter rain. “The civilization suffered, that's for sure,” says
Scroxton. But that wasn't the end of the Harappan. “Their politics might change, the crops might change, the
location of their cities changes, but they adapt,” says Scroxton.
Some 300 years later, however, just as the winter rains were starting to recover, a hottest drought kicked off.
This was a slowing reduction in the sum monsoon rains over several centuries. Scroxton and his team say this
second drought changed the Harappan into a poor society that disappeared at last.

(2021·江西高三模拟)Growing up in Taiwan as the daughter of a calligrapher(书法家),one of my most
treasured memories was my mother showing me the beauty, the shape and the form of Chinese characters. Ever
since then, I was attracted by this amazing language.
But to an outsider, it seems to be as impenetrable as the Great Wall of China. Over the past few years, I’ve
been wondering whether I can break down this wall, so that anyone who wants to understand and appreciate the
beauty of this complex language could do so. I started thinking about how a new, fast method of learning Chinese
might be useful.
At the age of five, 1 started to learn how to draw every single stroke(笔划)for each character in the correct
order. I learned new characters every day during the next fifteen years. You only need 1 ,000 to understand the basic
communication. The top 200 will allow you to read 40 percent of basic literature-enough to read road signs,restaurant menus, to understand the basic idea of the web pages or the newspapers. Today I’m going to start with 8
characters to show you how the method works.
Open your mouth as wide as possible until it’s square. You get a mouth—口. This is a person going for a walk
with two legs. Person—人.The shape of the fire is a person with two arms on both sides, as if she was yelling
crazily, “Help! I’m on fire!” —火. This is a tree—木.This is a mountain—山.The sun—日. The moon—月.The
symbol of the door looks like a pair of car doors---门.These eight characters are the building blocks for you to
create lots more characters.

【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词前半句“But to an outsider,(但对于门外汉来说,)”和后半
句“as the Great Wall of China.(像中国的长城)”可知,对于门外汉来说,汉字就跟中国的长城一
样高不可攀。所以impenetrable为“不能穿过的”之意。故选C。
25.Why did the author try to think of fast ways to learn Chinese?
A. To prove her ability to learn. B. To help her mother with her career.
C. To get better grades in exams. D. To enable more people to enjoy Chinese.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Over the past few years, I’ve been wondering whether I can break
down this wall, so that anyone who wants to understand and appreciate the beauty of this complex
language could do so. (过去几年,我一直思考如何能够攻克这堵墙,让那些要理解和欣赏这复杂
语言优雅地方的人可以这样做。)”可知,作者试图想出快速学习中文的方法是为了让更多的人
喜欢汉语。故选D。
26.With the most frequently used 200 characters people can .
A. read restaurant menus B. understand newspapers well
C. communicate with natives D. enjoy basic literature
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The top 200 will allow you to read 40 percent of basic literature-
enough to read road signs, restaurant menus, to understand the basic idea of the web pages or the
newspapers. (认识顶部二百个汉字,让你看明白百分之四十的基本文献——足以读懂路标、餐厅菜单,以了解中文网页的基本想法或报纸内容。)”可知,人们可以用最常用的200个汉字阅读
餐厅菜单。故选A。

A. How the eight characters build other characters.
B. What other meanings the eight characters have.
C. Where the eight characters can be used in daily life.
D. Why the eight Chinese characters are formed in this way.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“These eight characters are the building blocks for you to create
lots more characters. (这八个汉字是你创造更多汉字的基础。)”可推断,作者在文章下一段会介
绍这八个汉字是如何塑造其他汉字的。故选A。
C
(2021·四川高三)If you stop a random person on the street in China, there’s a pretty good chance that their
surname would be either Wang, Li, Zhang, Liu or Chen.That’s because those are the five most common surnamesin
China — shared by 30% of the population. And the vast majority of the population share just 100 of those
surnames. In comparison, the United States reported 6.3 million surnames in its 2010 census.
There are a few reasons for this: China is less racially diverse than countries such as the US, where a wealth of
minority groups increase surname diversity(多样性). It also has to do with language; you can’t just add a random
stroke(音节)to a Chinese character and create a new surname.
But there’s also another factor at play: technology. With China roaring into the digital age, nearly everything
has moved online—from making appointments to buying train tickets.
The main problem is that not all Chinese characters have been coded into computer systems. That meant a
world of trouble if you happened to have a rare character in your name. As of 2017, up to 60 million Chinese
citizens faced this problem, according to Xinhua.
People with rare characters in their names, which aren’t compatible(兼容的) with existing computer systems,
can get left behind— pushing many to change their names for the sake of convenience, even if it means abandoning
centuries of heritage and languages.
To try to address this, experts have increased the database from 32,000 characters to 70,000 characters,
according to the government. They’re still working to expand it to include more than 90,000 characters, said Chen
Jiawei, an associate professor at Beijing Normal University.
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国汉语言文化中的姓氏文化。28.What can be learned from the comparison according to Paragraph 1?
A. There are fewer common surnames in China.
B. Chinese people like sharing the same surname.
C. The United States owns the most surnames in the world.
D. 6.3 million surnames in China have been shared until now.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段第二三句话“That’s because those are the five most common surnames in
China — shared by 30% of the population. And the vast majority of the population share just 100 of
those surnames. ”(这是因为这是中国最常见的五个姓氏,占总人口的30%。而绝大多数人的姓氏
只有100个。)可推知,在中国普通姓氏较少。故选A。
29.Which one describes surname diversity properly?
A. New Chinese surnames are easy to create.
B. Surname diversity totally depends on technology.
C. Minority groups can increase surname diversity.
D. Surnames in computer systems are regularly changed.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话“China is less racially diverse than countries such as the US,
wherea wealth of minority groups increase surname diversity”(与美国等国家相比,中国的种族多样
性较低,在美国,丰富的少数族裔群体增加了姓氏的多样性。) 可知,少数民族可以增加姓氏
的多样性。故选C。
30.What may happen to people with rare characters in their names?
A. They will lose their heritage. B. They have to change their names.
C. They should expand the database. D. They may upgrade computer systems.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第五段“People with rare characters in their names, which aren’t
compatible(兼容的) with existing computer systems, can get left behind— pushing many to change
their names for the sake of convenience, even if it means abandoning centuries of heritage and
languages.”(名字中有罕见字符的人,与现有的计算机系统不兼容,可能会被抛在后面——迫使
许多人为了方便而改名,即使这意味着放弃几个世纪以来的传统和语言。)可知,名字里有罕见
字符的人可能不得不改名字。故选B。
31.Why have experts increased the character database?A. To save heritage and languages. B. To keep Chinese traditional culture.
C. To give people more choices when naming. D. To let us know more Chinese characters.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“To try to address this, experts have increased the database
from 32,000 characters to 70,000characters, according to the government. ”(为了解决这个问题,专
家们已经将数据库从32000字增加到了70000字,根据政府的说法。)可知,此处this“这个问
题”,应是倒数第二段中提到的“名字里有罕见字符”。由此推知,专家增加了字符数据库是
为了人们在取名的时候有更多的选择,而不至于被迫改名。故选C。
D
(2021·全国高三模拟)The ruins of a Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote
sensing technique LiDAR. This lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna, but shows that these famous
areas are a small part of this lost urban network.
Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve site, more than 60,000 human-made features —
homes, canals, highways, and more — have been identified in aerial(从飞机上的)images collected by some
international researchers headed by the PAGUNAM Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization.
Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya Empire.
These ancient peoples obviously created these imaginative cultures based on their known relics (遗迹), but the
new research has suggested that the size of this lost society is far beyond what experts imagined. The findings will
be explored in a one-hour documentary called “Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings”, to be broadcast on the
National Geographic Channel.
This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey lands in 3D by bouncing pulses
off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting
archeological(考古的)sites, as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The
technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years. For instance, major finds at Angkor,
Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can explain what it did. The final goal is to survey Guatemala’s lowlands with it.
“There are entire cities we didn’t know about now showing up in the survey data,” Francisco Estrada-Belli,
one of the lead archeologists on the project, said in Nat Geo’s coming documentary. “There are 20,000 square
kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities about the mysterious people who built
this urban network there that we don’t know about, and we will push back the frontiers with the technology,” he
added.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在遥感技术激光雷达的帮助下,在危地马拉发现了一座玛雅城
市的废墟,新的研究表明这个失落的社会的规模远远超出了专家的想象,还有 2万平方公里
的土地有待探索。
32.What does the underlined word “Those”in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Jungles. B. Human-made features.
C. Researchers. D. Aerial images.
【答案】B

( 从 飞 机 上 的 )images collected by some international researchers headed by the PAGUNAM
Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. 隐藏在玛雅生物圈保护区的丛林之下,
由帕格纳姆基金会(一个玛雅文化和自然遗产组织)领导的一些国际研究人员收集的航拍图像中
发现了6万多处人类活动场所——房屋、运河、公路等。可知,代词 those指的是人造景观,包
括房屋、运河、公路等,故Those指Human-made features。故选B项。
33.What does the author want to convey in paragraph 4?
A. The working principle of LiDAR sensors. B. The process of researching Maya civilization.
C. Great importance of Guatemalans lowlands. D. LiDAR’s contribution to discovering the relics.
【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第四段中 This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can
survey lands in 3D by bouncing pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. …The
technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years. 这一突破之所以成为可能,是
因为激光雷达传感器,它可以通过无人机和其他设备发射的脉冲从地面反弹,以3D方式测量
地面……近年来,这项技术的许多发现已成为现实。可知,本段主要介绍了 LiDAR技术在发现
遗址方面起到的重大作用,旨在突出这一技术的贡献和重要性。故选D项。
34.Which words can best describe the lost Maya city?
A. Small and hidden. B. Famous and high-tech.
C. Vast and complex. D. Fully-explored and imaginative.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中This lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna, but shows
that these famous areas are a small part of this lost urban network. 这个失落的城市包围着像蒂卡尔、
霍尔木尔和威茨纳这样的地方,但也表明这些著名的地区只是这个失落的城市网格的一小部分;第三段中 but the new research has suggested that the size of this lost society is far beyond what
experts imagined. 但新的研究表明,这个失落的社会的规模远远超出了专家的想象;以及最后一
段中 There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of
cities about the mysterious people who built this urban network there that we don’t know about 还有2
万平方公里的土地有待探索,将会有数百个城市的神秘人在那里建立了我们不知道的城市网络。
可判断,玛雅城是广袤的;根据第二段中 Those have experts rethinking the outlines and
complexity of the Maya Empire.这些让专家们重新思考玛雅帝国的轮廓和复杂性。可判断出,玛

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
(2021·浙江高一月考)Chinese is one of the two world languages with over a billion speakers. While the
Internet has referred to English as the most used language, Chinese still holds the top position as the most used
mother tongue. 36 Just think of how many more people you'd be able to talk to after learning some Chinese!
There are five traditional forms of Chinese calligraphy. These are considered classical arts and representatives
of Chinese art styles. 3 7 It first appeared during the Zhou Dynasty and is still popular among calligraphy
artists today, 3 8 This makes it quite difficult for non — native speakers to tell words from sound
combinations(组合).When you add in the tones, it adds up to make Chinese one of the most difficult languages to
listen to and understand.
Various factors contributed to making Chinese one of the hardest languages to learn for foreigners. 3 9
Usually, you must learn 3,000 characters in order to be considered fluent enough to read the morning newspaper.
However, the language consists of tens of thousands of characters that make fluency a difficult task.When you're walking around China, you might be surprised at the amount of words you're able to pick up
quickly. Thanks to an increase in exposure to Western culture, Chinese has many loanwords, or words borrowed
from English, in use today.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了汉字的历史以及与中国文化之间的关系。
56.【答案】as
【解析】考查介词。句意:人们一致认为,汉字最初是作为简单的图画,是古代中国人民绘制、绘画和
雕刻来描述自然和他们的生活的图像。根据句意可知,此处表达“汉字一开始作为一些简单的
图画”。固定短语begin as译为“起初作为、开始时作为”。故填as。
57.【答案】to describe
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句子谓语动词为began,所以动词describe要以非谓语的形式出现。根据句意
可知,此处表达“用来描述自然和他们的生活的图像”,所以用不定式表目的。故填 todescribe。
58.【答案】recognizable
【解析】考查词性转换(形容词)。作后置定语,用形容词recognizable。句意:最古老的可识别的汉字符
号是在古代动物的骨头上发现的。
59.【答案】were carved
【解析】考查动词的时态和语态。根据句意以及上文的“These 3000-year-old symbols”可知,这些文字是
在3000年前雕刻,属于过去发生的事实要用一般过去时。主语 These 3000-year-old symbols是
复数,且与动词carve是被动关系。故填were carved。句意:这些有三千年历史的符号,甲骨
文,刻在甲壳或动物的骨头上,可以让我们了解古人如何看待周围的世界,以及他们伟大的创
造力。
60.【答案】how
【解析】考查名词从句。根据空格前的介词into可知,此处为宾语从句。在宾语从句中,句子不缺成分,
表“如何”含义,所以用连接副词how引导宾语从句。故填how。
61.【答案】likely
【解析】考查词性转换(副词)。修饰动词feel,应用副词,故填likely。句意:当你第一次看到汉字时,
你很可能会觉得它们非常复杂。
62.【答案】composed
【解析】考查动词短语。be composed of由……组成,故填composed句意:大约80%的汉字是由较小
的部分组成的,这些小部分以许多不同的方式组合起来,形成成千上万个汉字。
63.【答案】Fortunately
【解析】考查词性转换(副词)。修饰整个句子用副词,故填Fortunately。句意:幸运的是,你只需要知
道两三千字就可以在日常生活中使用。
64.【答案】a
【解析】考查冠词。名词bridge为可数名词,所以要用冠词修饰。根据句意可知,此处表示“一座坚固
的桥梁”是泛指,所以用不定冠词,且strong是辅音音素开头。故填a。句意:中国的文字系
统构成了一座坚固的桥梁,把现在的中国人和过去的文化联系在一起。
65.【答案】those
【解析】考查词形转换(代词的复数)。此处特指上文所提及的过去的中国人和中国文化,表复数含义,
应用those进行指代。故填those。

(2021·山东日照市高三二模)Joan excitedly packed her bags for her upcoming trip with her family. They
were driving from New York to Virginia to go on a brief visit to their distant relatives. She was bursting with
impatience to play with her cousins and chat away with her aunt and uncle.
After all of the suitcases had been loaded into the car, Tonny, Joan’s father, looked to Joan and her mother,
Flora. “Is everyone ready for our road trip?” They both smiled and nodded.
It was going to be quite a long journey, and within a couple of hours Joan had already begun to feel tired.
She began to nod off when she noticed the car veering off the road, sharply to the left.
Tonny managed an emergency stop, got out and walked around the car. He scratched his head, looking
confused. Then, he gave a great sigh. “We have a flat tire(轮胎), ”he said to Flora.
“Use the spare tire in the trunk. Then we can replace it when we reach Virginia, ”she suggested. Tonnylooked down at his feet sheepishly. “I…haven’t had the spare tire replaced since the last time we had a flat.”Flora
seemed upset, but tried to remain positive. “Maybe we can call a service,” she suggested. But a quick glance at
their cellphones told them that there was no signal in the area. Joan looked at her mother in the front seat, and her
father still staring blankly at the flat tire outside. Both of them looked concerned.
Joan began to get worried. No other cars had passed by in a while and it seemed like they were far away
from a town center. She looked out the window, wondering if they would have to sleep in the car or if there was any
way they could possibly find someone to help them. Would they ever make their way to Virginia?Her relatives
