What do a student in China, an office worker in the UK and an astronaut in space all have in common? They all
eat instant noodles. And they’re not alone — over 100 billion servings of instant noodles _____13_____ (consume)
globally each year, making them one of the world’s most successful industrial foods. But how did this happen?
_____14_____ (put)simply, they’re cheap to produce and cheap to buy, which was exactly what their creator
intended. Momofuku Ando, a Japanese entrepreneur, spent roughly a year _____15_____ (perfect) the recipe just
after the Second World War. He wanted to make something similar to traditional Japanese ramen noodles, while
using the wheat flour given to Japan as food aid by the US government. His creation was instantly popular,
_____16_____ (play) a part in Japan’s post-war economic rise. Even in the year 2000-according to a poll by the Fuji

Research Institute-instant noodles were voted Japan’s most successful invention, ahead of high-speed trains, laptops
and karaoke.

Instant Noodles Association, China, Indonesia, Vietnam and India-in that order-all consumed more instant noodles
than Japan in 2021. Instant noodles’ popularity abroad is in part due to how easy they are _____18_____ (adapt) to
local tastes. In Thailand, for example, you can get green curry flavor, while in Mexico the noodles are garnished with
lime and salsa. And _____19_____ seems that consumers have grown to expect innovation. Nissin, the food company
founded by Ando, launches over 300 products yearly, just in Japan.
Instant noodles have their critics, too. Their rise in popularity has come at an environmental cost—they’re made
with palm oil, contributing to deforestation, and their packaging is plastic. And _____20_____ they are a hot, tasty
and filling meal, instant noodles don’t have much nutritional value, and include high levels of salt and fat.
Nevertheless, instant noodles are undoubtedly lifesavers in emergency or extreme situations.

BeiDou
China decided to develop BeiDou after the 1995 — 1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis when an unexpected disruption

in GPS caused the People’s Liberation Army to lose track of its ballistic missiles (弹道导弹) fired over the Taiwan
Strait. China decided it could not afford to repeat such an incident. Even though China had a ____27____ agreement
with Russia to use GLONASS for basic navigation, China persisted with its plan to develop BeiDou.

Section B
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by 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
Every April I am troubled by the same concern -- that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks
dull with hills, sky and forest appearing gray. My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snowfall when I first
,
came to Maine 15 years ago. "Just wait," a neighbor advised. "You’ll wake up one morning and spring will just be
here."
And look, on May 3 that year I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply
a matter of flipping a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green. Leaves had unfolded
and daffodils were fighting their way heavenward.
Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and
therefore to everyone. The tree’s dark twisted branches stretch out in unpruned（未经修剪的） abandon. Each
spring it blossoms so freely that the air becomes filled with the scent of apple.
Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness,
I set out with pruner to remove a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors
opened their windows and stepped onto their porches(门廊). These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke
to, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens.
My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. "You’re not cutting it down, are you?" she asked
anxiously. Another neighbor frowned as I cut off a branch. "Don’t kill it, now," he warned. Soon half the
neighborhood had joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now
was learning these people’s names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old
apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder. I
couldn’t help recalling Robert Frost’s words:
The trees that have it in their pent-up buds To darken nature and be summer woods One thaw led to another.
Just the other day I saw one of my neighbors at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been
第 8 页 共 14 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选（在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ，+V:
jiajiao6767 )
especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then,
he looked at me and said, "We need to prune that apple tree again."
46. By saying that “my spirits ebb” (Para. 1), the author means that _____.
A. he feels relieved B. he feels blue
C. he is surprised D. he is tired
47. The apple tree mentioned in the passage is most likely to _____.
A. be regarded as a delight in the neighborhood
B. have been abandoned by its original owner
C. have been neglected by everyone in the community
D. be appealing only to the author
48. According to Para. 4, why did the neighbors open their windows and step onto their porches?
A. They were surprised that someone unknown was pruning the tree.
B. They wanted to prevent the author from pruning the tree
C. They were concerned about the safety of the tree
D. They wanted to get to know the author
49. It can be inferred that the author’s neighbor mentioned in the last paragraph most cared about _____.
A. when spring would arrive B. how to pass the long winter
C. the neighborhood gathering D. the pruning of the apple tree
B
As we traveled around the U.S. reporting on the development of towns and cities, we always made the local
library an early stop. The traditional impression of libraries as places for quiet reading, research, and borrowing books
is outdated. There are three areas where libraries work as energetic centers of America’s towns: technology, education,
and community.
Technology
Many people rely on libraries for their computer and Internet use. According to a 2015 Pew Research Center
report, more than a quarter of Americans who had visited a public library in the past year had used a computer, the
Internet, or a WiFi connection there.
More ambitiously, libraries have also begun offering “makerspaces” shared workspaces that provide
technological tools and are designed to facilitate teamwork. I recently toured the makerspace at Washington, D.C.’s
flagship Martin Luther King Jr. Library. A group of hobbyists, businesspeople, and a mom with her homeschooled
preteens were learning about tools like 3-D printers, laser cutters, and wire benders. Miguel Figueroa, who directs
第 9 页 共 14 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选（在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ，+V:
jiajiao6767 )
the Center for the Future of Libraries at the American Library Association, says makerspaces are part of libraries’
expanded mission to be places where people can not only consume knowledge, but create new knowledge.
Education
In my conversations with librarians around the country, the most urgent topic was the education of America’s
youngest children. Patrick Losinski, the CEO of the Columbus, Ohio, metropolitan library system, told me that when
a 5-year-old walks into kindergarten, takes a book, and holds it upside down, “you know there is no reading readiness
there.” I heard of many projects like Books for Babies, which is run by Friends of the Library in tiny Winters,
California: Volunteers offer new babies a box with a T-shirt, a cap, two books, and an application to join the library.
In Charleston, West Virginia, despite recent funding losses that severely cut library staff, librarians still provide
materials to teachers all across the 900-square-mile county. In Columbus, Mississippi, the library gives high-school
students access to Civic War-era documents slave sale records, court cases, and secrets of the community making
real the history of their state.
Community
The library in West Hartford, Connecticut, offers conversational-English classes for immigrants. The library in
Seattle provides citizenship classes. The library in Duluth, Minnesota, has a seed-lending program for local gardeners.
In libraries, I have practiced yoga, drunk in coffee shops, and watched youngsters with laptops arrangetheir virtual
start-up offices at long reading-room tables.
50. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How libraries are designed. B. How libraries have developed.
C. How libraries function in new ways. D. How libraries become a popular spot.
51. According to the passage, what can people do in libraries now?
A. Make T-shirts. B. Work together.
C. Visit exhibitions. D. Publish books.
52. What can be learned about libraries in Columbus?
A. They run short of funds. B. They help children learn history.
C. They provide children with 3-D printers. D. They offer readers sports facilities.
C
A modern masterpiece from one of Italy’s most acclaimed authors, My Brilliant Friend is a rich, intense, and
generous-hearted story about two friends, Elena and Lila. Elena Ferrante’s unique style lends itself perfectly to a
detailed portrait of these two women that is also the story of a nation and a touching thinking on the nature of
friendship. The story begins in the 1950s, in a poor but exciting neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples. Growing
第 10 页 共 14 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选（在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ，+V:
jiajiao6767 )
up on these tough streets the two girls learn to rely on each other ahead of anyone or anything else. As they grow, as
their paths repeatedly split apart and meet again, Elena and Lila remain best friends whose respective destinies are
reflected in the other. They are likewise the mirror of a nation undergoing momentous change.
Ferrante is the author of three previous works of critically acclaimed fiction: The Days of Abandonment,
Troubling Love, and The Lost Daughter. With this novel, the first in a quartet, she proves herself to be one of Italy’s
great storytellers. She has given her readers a masterfully plotted page-turner, abundant and generous in its narrative
details and characterizations, that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight her many fans and win
new readers to her fiction.
As “Ferrante Fever” swept the English-speaking literary world, you might have mistaken it for a phenomenon
exclusive to women readers. Elena Ferrante’s four Neapolitan Novels, translated from the Italian, arrived on our
shores in covers of light pinks and blues, with introduction that promised a fascinating narration of female friendship,
ideally marketed for moms and their daughters alike. So well-received was this focus on the sisterhood of the books-
perhaps because we often limit women to writing about “women’s issues” — that the series’ historical sweep, its
intense criticism of capitalism and its cruel violence, did not always get their due.
This is likely to change as the Ferrante craze reaches its natural peak: an acclaimed HBO series that doesn’t
steer away from her socialist themes. No doubt quite a few men are on the bandwagon already. While they are indeed
thrilled by the societal scope of Ferrante’s narrative, they are also learning something about the vitality of feminine
closeness and identity.
53. In My Brilliant Friend, Elena and Lila ________.
A. represent the country’s spirit B. are interdependent on each other
C. stay together throughout their life D. are coming from different background
54. The writing focus on girls’ relationship may overshadow the description of ________.
A. motherhood B. capitalistic cruelty
C. male friendship D. domestic violence
55. What is likely to change as the Ferrante craze intensifies?
A. That the book switches to socialist theme.
B. That the readership is mainly limited to women.
C. People’s view towards girls’ closeness and identity.
D. That the bandwagons are increasingly popular among boys.
56. What can be inferred from this article?
A. The book comes with a book turning device to help reading easily.

B. HBO changed the book’s theme in the adaptation of the screenplay.
C. Elena Ferrante’s quartet gain wide appeal both in women and in men.
D. The character Elena in the book is a self-portrait of the author Elena Ferrante.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the
box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
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 calculating your
household bills. _____57_____ 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. _____58_____
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 more 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 they worried 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 critical,
especially at a young age”. _____59_____
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear why 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 (吓唬) — might make
you more worried about underperforming. _____60_____ Psychologists have been trying 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 their hold 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.
A. The problem really starts in childhood, at school.
B. She thinks the key is to get people, especially women, who love teaching maths to children.
C. Since math is a subject of fixed answers, children are often scared of giving the wrong answer.
D. And once we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
E. More often than not, children aren’t aware of how they can practice basic math outside of school and homework.
F. But many dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and feel a sense of worry and confusion.
