What Can One City Do?
People around the world are concerned about global warming and are talking about ways to stop it. The city of
Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the United States, is doing more than just talking. Cambridge wants to become a
world leader in energy-efficient buildings.
Today, Naema Omar is improving her 80-year-old house in Cambridge. To keep the heat inside in the winter,
she is filling the space inside the walls with insulation(绝缘). Insulation is usually made from chemicals, but in her
house, she is using 21 new - insulation made from recycled blue jeans and other clothes. She has also put
in a new type of light called an LED lamp 22 uses only a tiny amount of electricity. The light-bulbs in it
last for 20 to 30 years before needing 23 (change).But eco-friendly insulation and lighting are much more expensive than the usual kind 24
________many people in Cambridge can’t afford them. A group called Cambridge Energy Alliance (CEA) 25
(work) to solve this problem. They want to help every resident and business in the city conserve energy. People can
ask the group to come and look at 26 they can make their house or office building eco-friendly. The CEA
then makes them a plan to save 15 to 30 percent on heating, gas, water, and electricity. Then the group help people
borrow money to pay for the improvements. The money that people save by being 27 (efficient) should
be enough to pay back the loan.
It was ten years ago that the city of Cambridge decided to try to reduce its carbon emissions. More than 80
percent of the carbon dioxide 28 (produce) in Cambridge comes from buildings - not from cars 29
successful, the program will not only save a lot of energy but also make new jobs for local people. Workers 30
(need) to put in insulation, install better doors and windows, and make other energy improvements on buildings.
The CEA hopes that their program will be an example for other cities.

“It was a wave of water,” says Oulimata Sambe. She points out the still-sodden(湿透的) armchairs, muddy
wardrobe and the water stain a metre and a half up the wall in her small house in Ngor, a fishing village within
Dakar, the capital of Senegal. “I had two grandkids on my bed, I had to 31 them out of the window,” she
adds. Not faraway, underpasses on Dakar’s scenic corniche(滨海路) became car- 32 lakes. Just weeks earlier
another downpour had turned quiet streets in Dakar into raging rivers and collapsed a section of motorway.
33 events regularly occur across the region. Recent flooding and landslides also killed eight people in
Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone. In June flooding killed 12 people in Abidjan, the commercial capital of Ivory
Coast. Floods in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, 34 another seven lives. Even when they are not
deadly, city floods ruin lives and livelihoods. Storm water recently flooded the biggest textile market in Kano, a
city in northern Nigeria, destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of 35 .
Unusually heavy rains have become 36 more common over the past 30 years, leaving huge numbers ofpeople at risk. In places this is partly because of deforestation. A recent study by Christopher Taylor of the UK
Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, a research institute, and his coauthors found that afternoon 37 in
deforested parts of coastal west Africa happen twice as often compared with 30 years ago. Their frequency went up
by only about a third in places that kept their forests.
Yet 38 flooding of cities in west Africa is not only caused by heavier rain. Unplanned urbanization is
also to blame. As cities have grown, builders have thrown up concrete walls with little 39 about providing
drainage, making it harder for water to find a clear path to the sea. As ever larger areas have been paved over, there
has been less exposed soil into which water can gently 40 away. And as cites get more packed with new
arrivals, their few functioning drains get overwhelmed or clogged.

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
An idea whose time has come: the four-day workweek
The four-day workweek’s moment has arrived. With California Congressman Mark Takano’s introduction of
legislation to reduce the standard workweek from 40 to 32 hours, awareness of a shorter workweek－and 41
for it－is gaining. And so is the skepticism around it.
Initial skepticism is a(n) 42 response to a great change in how we think about work. American work
culture has been defined by ideals of career as identity, workaholism and ambitions for continuous growth. It is not
43 to free ourselves from the only reality we know.
And yet, if there were ever a right time, this is it. For so many, the muscles of adaptation have 44
over the past two years with every challenge brought on by the pandemic and other global crises. The rapid,
significant transition across industries to working from home provided evidence that we can 45 quickly
in response to changing conditions. Now, we have an opportunity to exercise these muscles to 46 evolve
from outdated conceptions of what work must look like.
Four-day workweek pilots are emerging across the globe, with some companies now shifting from the 47stage to implementing the policy permanently. Microsoft Japan, Unilever New Zealand and Kick-starter represent
just a few of a growing number of organizations exploring the four-day workweek. 48 political leaders
are voicing support for the concept. Last year, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardem approved employers
implementing a four-day workweek to help stimulate domestic tourism in response to industry downturn brought
on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Advocates mention many 49 , including reduced burnout, improved physical and mental health,
increased gender equity, and positive environment impacts. It is easy to imagine what we might do with an
additional day-spend time with family and friends, pursue a hobby, enroll in classes, sleep. Many in favor of the
four-day workweek envision a more 50 and rested community. Pilot findings show increased
productivity as well. Among companies that have adopted a four-day week, nearly two-thirds report increased
productivity.
Some leaders will see the research and be 51 that a pilot in their organization is worthwhile.
Other will resist the idea. What theories or beliefs are at the the root of their concerns? Many leaders were taught
that face-time with employees is the only way to ensure accountability, productivity and teamwork. Less face-time,
which follows the four-day workweek model and work-from-home arrangements, can feel to some like 52
control.
For leaders of organizations and teams, the shift to a four-day workweek requires re-imagining standard
operating procedures, increasing innovation and, perhaps most importantly, trusting in 53 . Let
employees work out the details rather than trying to “solve” the four-day workweek challenge 54 .
Awin, a Berlin-based teach firm, saw 80 employees volunteer for task forces to ensure that their switch to a four-
day workweek went smoothly. Those who are closest to the work and potential challenges are often closest to the
55 . The website www.4dayweek.com also offers many resources to help companies design a four-day
workweek pilot.

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)
Green fingers
It never occurred to me when I was little that gardens were anything less than glamorous places. Granddad’s
garden was on the bank of a river and sloped gently down towards the water. You couldn’t reach the river but you
could hear the sound of the water and the birds that sang in the trees above. I imagined that all gardens were like
this - a place of escape, peace and solitude. Granddad’s small plot of land was nothing out of the ordinary when it
came to features. He had nothing as grand as a greenhouse, unlike some of his neighbors. However, this little piece
of land bore a great part of my carefree and joyful childhood.
At home, his son, my father, could be quiet and withdrawn. I wouldn’t want to make him sound humorless. He
wasn’t. Silly things would amuse him. I came to realize that, deep down, he was probably disappointed that he
hadn’t made more of his life. He left school without qualifications and became a plumber apprentice. Plumbing was
not something he was passionate about. It was just what he did. He was never particularly ambitious, though there
was a moment when he and Mum thought of moving to Canada, but it came to nothing. Where he came into his
own was around the house. He had an “eye for the job”. Be it bookshelves or a cupboard - what he could achieve
was astonishing. My parents moved house only once in their entire married life. But my father made up for this
lack of daring when it came to furniture. You would have just got used to the shape of one chair when another
appeared.
As for me, school didn’t appeal to me much. I wanted to leave school as soon as possible but that seemed an
unlikely prospect until one day my father announced, “They’ve got a vacancy for an apprentice gardener in the
Parks Department. I thought you might be interested.” In one brief moment Dad had gone against his better
judgment. He might still have preferred it if I became a carpenter. But I like to feel that somewhere inside him was
a feeling that things might just turn out for the best. Maybe I’m deceiving myself, but I prefer to believe that in his
heart, although he hated gardening himself, he’d watched me doing it for long enough and noticed my unfailing
passion for all things that grew and flowered and fruited.56．When the writer describes his granddad’s garden, he is ________.
A．proud that his granddad was such a good gardener
B．embarrassed that the garden was not as good as others nearby
C．annoyed that items in the garden were often damaged
D．positive about the time he spent in the garden
57．What is the writer’s attitude to his father in the second paragraph?
A．He was regretful that his father had not achieved more.
B．He was annoyed that his father used words he didn’t understand.
C．He was sympathetic to the reasons why his father behaved as he did.
D．He was grateful that his father had not taken the family to Canada.
58．What does the writer mean by the underlined phrase “came into his own”?
A．was able to do something by himself
B．was able to show how talented he was
C．was able to continue his day job
D．was able to forget his failure
59．What does the writer think is the reason behind his father’s decision in the last paragraph?
A．His father did not manage to make a better judgment.
B．His father was tired of disagreeing with his son.
C．His father had been impressed by his son’s love of gardening.
D．His father came to realize the charm of gardening.
【答案】56．D 57．C 58．B 59．C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者小时候受到了爷爷做园艺的熏陶，之后父亲决定让作者从事园
艺的故事。
56．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Granddad’s small plot of land was nothing out of the ordinary when it came to
features. He had nothing as grand as a greenhouse, unlike some of his neighbors. However, this little piece of land
bore a great part of my carefree and joyful childhood.”（爷爷的那一小块土地在特征方面没有什么特别之处。
他没有像温室一样宏伟的东西，不像他的一些邻居。然而，这片小小的土地承载了我无忧无虑、快乐的童
年的很大一部分。）可知，作者认为爷爷的花园承载了自己无忧无虑、快乐的童年的很大的一部分。可推
知，作者对在爷爷的花园里度过的快乐时光是肯定的。故选D。
57．推理判断题。根据第二段中“At home, his son, my father, could be quiet and withdrawn. I wouldn’t want to
make him sound humorless. He wasn’t. Silly things would amuse him. I came to realize that, deep down, he wasprobably disappointed that he hadn’t made more of his life. ”（在家里，他的儿子，我的父亲，安静又孤僻。我
不想让他听起来毫无幽默感。他没有（幽默感）。像孩子一般的可笑的事情也会逗他开心。我开始意识到，
在内心深处，他可能因为他没有为他的生活做出更多的贡献而感到失望。）可知，作者意识到父亲如同孩
子一样的行为源自父亲的内心深处对他没有为生活做出更多的贡献而感到失望。故选C。
58．推理判断题。根据划线句之后“He had an “eye for the job”. Be it bookshelves or a cupboard - what he
could achieve was astonishing. My parents moved house only once in their entire married life. But my father made
up for this lack of daring when it came to furniture. You would have just got used to the shape of one chair when
another appeared.”（他对这份工作很有眼光，无论是书架还是橱柜，他的成就都令人惊叹。我父母婚后只
搬过一次家。但我父亲弥补了他在家具方面的胆怯。你刚刚习惯了一把椅子的形状，另一把椅子就出现
了。）可知，父亲对于做家具很擅长，在这个领域可以充分展示他的天赋。所以可推知，划线短语此处的
含义为“父亲能展示他自己的天赋”，故选B。
59．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But I like to feel that somewhere inside him was a feeling that things might
just turn out for the best. Maybe I’m deceiving myself, but I prefer to believe that in his heart, although he hated
gardening himself, he’d watched me doing it for long enough and noticed my unfailing passion for all things that
grew and flowered and fruited.”（但我喜欢他内心深处的那种感觉，觉得事情可能会变得更好。也许我在欺
骗自己，但我更愿意相信在他的心里，尽管他自己讨厌园艺，但他已经看着我做了足够长的时间，并注意
到我对所有生长、开花和结果的事物的不懈热情。）可知，对于父亲决定让作者去做园丁学徒，作者认为
是因为父亲看自己做了足够长的时间，并注意到自己对所有生长、开花和结果的事物的不懈热情。故选
C。

(C)
That everyone’s too busy these days is a cliche. But one specific complaint is made frequently: There’s never
any time to read. A professional reader, the novelist and critic Tim Parks, wrote in a New York Review of Books
essay: “Every moment of serious reading has to be fought for, planned for.” Parks wrote that in June; last month, I
finally found time to read it.
What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient. The
web’s full of articles offering tips on making time to read: “Give up TV” or “Carry a book with you at all times”.
But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn’t work. Sit down to read and the
flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning — or else you’re so exhausted that a challenging book’s the last
thing you need. “The modern mind,” Parks writes, “is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication ... It is not
simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption.” Deep reading requires not just time,
but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.
In fact, “becoming more efficient” is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximized
means you approach it instrumentally, judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances
progress toward some goal. Immersive reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency,
goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you’ll manage only goal-focused reading —
useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. “The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable
and nearly infinite convey or belt,” writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure to fill these
different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes) as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have
wasted them”. No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.
So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You’d think this might fuel the
efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us “step outside time’s flow” into
“soul time”. You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. “Carry a
book with you at all times” can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the
default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really
good day, it no longer feels as if you’re “making time to read,” but just reading, and making time for everything
else.63．The usual time-management techniques don’t work because _________.
A．what they can offer does not ease the modern mind
B．what challenging books demand it repetitive reading
C．what people often forget is carrying a book with them
D．what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed
64．The “empty bottles” metaphor illustrates that people feel a pressure to _________.
A．update their to-do lists B．make passing time fulfilling
C．carry their plans through D．pursue carefree reading
65．Eberle would agree that scheduling regular times for reading helps __________.
A．encourage the efficiency mind-set B．develop online reading habits
C．promote ritualistic reading D．achieve immersive reading
66．“Carry a book with you at all times” can work if _________.
A．reading becomes your primary business of the day
B．all the daily business has been promptly dealt with
C．you are able to drop back to business after reading
D．time can be evenly split for reading and business
【答案】63．D 64．B 65．D 66．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们经常抱怨没有时间阅读，而让这个问题更加棘手的是，通
常的时间管理技巧似乎并不足够。因为深度阅读不仅需要时间，而且需要一种特殊的时间，而这种时间不
能仅仅通过提高效率来获得。文章还介绍了如何实现沉浸式阅读的方法。
63．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can’t be
obtained merely by becoming more efficient.(深度阅读不仅需要时间，而且需要一种特殊的时间，而这种时间
不能仅仅通过提高效率来获得)”可知，通常的时间管理技巧并不奏效，因为深度阅读所需要的内容无法得
到保证。故选D。
64．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and
nearly infinite convey or belt,” writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure to fill these
different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes) as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have
wasted them”. No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book. (Gary Eberle 在他的《神圣的时间》一
书中写道：“未来就像空瓶子沿着一条不可阻挡的、几乎无限的输送带向我们走来。当这些不同大小的瓶
子（天、小时、分钟）经过时，我们感到一种把它们装满的压力，因为如果它们没有被装满就过去了，我
们就浪费了它们。”)”可知，“空瓶子”的比喻说明，人们感到有一种压力，要让打发时间变得有意义。故选B。
65．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for
reading.(那么什么是有效的呢？也许令人惊讶的是，安排规律的阅读时间)”可推知，Eberle认同安排规律的
阅读时间有助于实现沉浸式阅读。故选D。
66．细节理解题。根据最后一段中““Carry a book with you at all times” can actually work, too-providing you
dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of
business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you’re “making time to read,”

常阅读，那么阅读就会成为你的默认状态，你会暂时浮出水面处理事务，然后再回到原位。在一个非常好

读成为你每天的首要任务，“随身携带一本书”是可行的。故选A。

How to Thrive in a video age
The pandemic embedded video into the workplace. Workers who had never previously been on camera
suddenly spent every hour of the day getting used to the sight of themselves and their colleagues on screen. 67
There is no going back. Blogs have become vlogs. Meetings are now recorded as a matter so that people can
fail to watch them back later. Some firms routinely ask applicants to record answers to certain questions on video,
so that people can’t see how well prospective recruits communicate.
Since video has become more central to work, it pays to be good at it. 68 . Workers can
improve under their own steam, but companies can help, too.
To see what the right set-up looks like, just observe the range of images on your next, video-conferencing call.
It will probably be a complete mishmash (大杂烩). Some people will be bathed in the warm glow of a ring light;
others will be emerging from the shadows like the Emperor Palpatine. Obviously, there is a limit to how level the
playing-field-between home offices can be, when living environments between employees differ so greatly. 69
: people who regularly make presentations or see clients have greater claim on fancier equipment.
Advice on how to present well on video is not that different to advice on presenting in general. But there are
some specific pitfalls with video. One is where to look. Staring into the camera is unnatural. Some advice pinning aphoto of someone you respect right by the lens. But looking at the camera is harder if you are referring to notes no
the screen at the same time. Teleprompter (提词器) software maybe the right answer.
Perhaps the least recognised skill in the video age is listening well. 70 — being able to turn
your camera off when your time is being royally wasted may be the pandemic’s greatest gift to productivity. Yet
one of the downsides is how distracting it can be: as well as checking yourself out and following the online chat,
you can comment on someone’s new wallpaper while watching their neighbour shovel noodles into their mouth. It
takes real effort to stay focused in such circumstances.
A．Being a star in the video age means having the right set-up, speaking well and listening well
B．Whether providing decent home-working equipment or giving feedback on how people appear on
screen, employers can help everyone improve their video game
C．Whether you are on camera or in the room, it is always easier to listen when there is something
worth hearing
D．Executives realized that they could send video messages to their workforces rather than having to
assemble in town halls
E．However, not everyone needs to look like an A-lister
F．After all, one great benefit of the virtual meeting is that you can get actual work done in it
【答案】67．D 68．A 69．E 70．F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何在视频时代蓬勃发展。
67．根据上文“The pandemic embedded video into the workplace. Workers who had never previously been on
camera suddenly spent every hour of the day getting used to the sight of themselves and their colleagues on screen.
(疫情将视频嵌入工作场所。以前从未上过镜头的员工突然把一天中的每一个小时都花在了习惯自己和同事
在屏幕上的样子上)”可知，上文提到了疫情期间人们开始利用视频来工作，故本句承接上文说明雇主通过
视频对员工进行管理。故D选项“高管们意识到，他们可以向员工发送视频信息，而不必在市政厅集会”
符合语境，故选D。
68．根据上文“Since video has become more central to work, it pays to be good at it.(由于视频在工作中越来越
重要，擅长视频是值得的)”以及后文“Workers can improve under their own steam, but companies can help,
too.(员工可以靠自己的力量进步，但公司也可以提供帮助)”可知，上文提到了擅长视频值得，后文提到了
个人和公司的努力，故本句说明值得的原因。故A选项“在视频时代成为明星意味着要有合适的环境，说
得好，听得好”符合语境，故选A。
69．根据上文“Obviously, there is a limit to how level the playing-field-between home offices can be, when
living environments between employees differ so greatly.(显然，当员工之间的生活环境差异如此之大时，家庭
办公室之间的公平竞争环境是有限的)”以及后文“people who regularly make presentations or see clients have
greater claim on fancier equipment.(经常做报告或会见客户的人更有资格购买更高档的设备)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出普通人是否需要像明星那样购买高档设备，故 E选项“然而，并不是每个人都需要看起
来像一线明星”符合语境，故选E。
70．根据上文“Perhaps the least recognised skill in the video age is listening well.(也许在视频时代，最不被认
可的技能是善于倾听)”以及后文“being able to turn your camera off when your time is being royally wasted
may be the pandemic’s greatest gift to productivity(当你的时间被严重浪费时，能够关掉相机可能是疫情给生
产力带来的最大礼物)”可知，上文提到了不被认可的技能是善于倾听，后文提到了关掉相机可以提高生产
力，可推测本句是在说明完成工作的要求。故F选项“毕竟，虚拟会议的一大好处就是你可以在其中完成
实际工作”符合语境，故选F。

than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
What do We Know About “Mathephobia”
Mathematician Mary de Lellis Gough, who often observed her struggling students fail to work out
mathematical problems, coined the term ‘mathephobia’ in 1953. She described it as “a disease that proves fatal
before its presence is detected”. Other experts have defined it as “the panic, helplessness and mental
disorganization that arises among some people when they are required to solve a mathematical problem” and “a
general fear of contact with mathematics”.
Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist and her colleagues of Barnard College in New York have shown that math
anxiety can start as soon as we enter formal schooling. “Math is one of the first places in school in western cultures
where we really learn about whether we got something right or wrong, and are exposed to being evaluated in timed
tests.”
Girls may be more prone to it than boys. Primary school teachers often have high levels of math anxiety, says
Beilock, and in the US and elsewhere, they are mostly female. Since young children tend to identify with adults of
the same gender, this means girls are more likely to pick up math anxiety from their female teachers. Having a
female teacher with math anxiety makes girls more likely to believe gendered stereotypes about math, leading to
poorer achievement.
“Once you have it, it can be self-lasting. Worrying about it can make it worse.” says Beilock, whose study of
children between the ages of five and eight suggests math anxiety might weaken performance by burdening
working memory. “As our ability to focus limited, our attention gets divided when we do more than one task at atime.” she says. “If you’re worried about having to do math, you may have an internal monologue saying you can’t
do this and at the same time you’re trying to calculate numbers.”
When people have math anxiety, they tend to avoid the subject, as researchers from 2019 show. But since math
builds on itself, avoiding it makes it harder to catch up. “Math is foundational. If you miss a certain idea, it’s harder
to learn the next one.” says Darcy Hallett. “And then you can fall behind, which might make math more of a
targeted anxiety compared to other topics.”

【答案】Mathephobia is defined as a general fear of solving maths problems, which usually starts at school and is
revealed through tests. Girls develop mathephobia more easily under the influence of math- anxious female
teachers. Children suffer poor performance in math when burdened with worry over it. Furthermore, attempt to
evade the problem may worsen the situation.

72．书展的门票只能提前一天在网上购买。(available)
【答案】Tickets for the book exhibition are available online only one day in advance.
【详解】考查动词、名词和短语。根据句意可知本句为一般现在时态，“书展的门票”译为 tickets for the
book exhibition，tickets为主语，且为复数，系动词应使用are，“在网上购买”译为available online，“提
前”为in advance，为固定短语，“只能”译为only，故翻译为Tickets for the book exhibition are available
online only one day in advance。
73．一个连头盔都不肯戴的骑车人怎么可能会有安全意识？(How)
【答案】How can a cyclist who is reluctant to wear a helmet have an awareness of safety?
【详解】考查定语从句。首先一个“骑车的人”可以用短语a cyclist；表示“不肯带头盔”可以用固定搭
配be reluctant to“不愿意”，戴头盔通常用动词短语wear a helmet；“一个不肯带头盔的人”可以写成定语
从句的形式，用连词who引导，即a cyclist who is reluctant to wear a helmet；“有---的意识”可以表示为
have an awareness of。故翻译为How can a cyclist who is reluctant to wear a helmet have an awareness of safety?
74．尽管有网红受邀为这款产品站台，消费者仍需考虑价格、质量等诸多因素。（account）【答案】Though some Internet / web / online celebrities are / have been invited to back up this product, consumers
need to take into account quite a few factors such as its price and quality.
【详解】考查让步状语从句、时态、动词短语和介词短语。前半句“尽管有网红受邀为这款产品站台”，
根据句意，谓语可用一般现在时态或现在完成时态；“尽管”表达为连接词though，引导让步状语从句；
“网红”表达为名词短语Internet / web / online celebrities，作状语从句的主语；“被邀请……做……”表达
为invite sb to do sth，此处invite与“网红”之间为动宾关系，应用被动语态，即are invited或have been
invited；“为……站台”即“支持……”，表达为动词短语back up，宾语是“这款产品”this product，可
用动词不定式作状语表示目的；前半句翻译为：Though some Internet / web/online celebrities are / have been
invited to back up this product。后半句“消费者仍需考虑价格、质量等诸多因素”为主句，主语“消费者”
用consumers；“需做……”表达为动词短语need to do sth，为谓语动词，陈述事实用一般现在时；根据要
求，“考虑”表达为动词take... into account；宾语“诸多因素”表达为名词短语quite a few factors；“价格、
质量等”可表达为短语such as its price and quality，整理语序，故翻译为：Though some Internet / web/online
celebrities are / have been invited to back up this product, consumers need to take into account quite a few factors
such as its price and quality.
75．新落成的学校拔地而起，已不是5年前的学校了，它配以现代化设施，为学生营造出良好的学习环境。
(equip)
【答案】The newly-completed/built school rises from the ground, which is no longer what it was/used to be five
years ago.
It is equipped with modern facilities to provide/ providing a good learning environment for students.
【详解】考查动词短语，定语从句以及表语从句。新落成的学校可以翻译为“the newly-completed/built
school”，在句中作主语。句子描述现在的一般事实，所以用一般现在时态。拔地而起可以翻译为“rise
from the ground”，rise为句子的谓语动词，主语是单数，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式rises；后面接非
限定性定语从句修饰先行词school。先行词指物，在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导。
“不再”可用短语 on longer，从句为主系表结构，用 what 引导表语从句，表语从句翻译为“what it
was/used to be five years ago”，整个定语从句指该学校已经不是五年前的样子了；第二句话it指代前面的
school作主语，“配备……”be equipped with；“现代化设施”可以翻译为modern facilities；为学生营造
出良好的学习环境可以翻译为“provide a good learning environment for students”，需要动词不定式作目的状
语；或者provide与逻辑主语facilities之间是主动关系，可以用现在分词形式作后置定语。故翻译为 The

Dear Student Representatives,
As you know, we are approaching our graduation, and it's time to decide on a meaningful gift for our school.
After giving it some thought, I would like to express my preference for option one, donating a tree on behalf of our
grade.
There are several reasons why I believe this is the best choice. Firstly, a tree represents growth, strength, and
longevity, which are all qualities that our school has instilled in us over the years. By planting a tree, we symbolize
the lasting impact our education has had on us and the future generations of students who will benefit from it.
Secondly, a tree can serve as a physical reminder of our time in school. Whenever we visit our alma mater in
the future, we can see how the tree has grown and flourished, just like we have. It will create a connection between
the past and the present, reminding us of the memories and friendships we formed during our time here.
Lastly, planting a tree aligns with our commitment to environmental sustainability. It will contribute to
improving the air quality on campus, provide shade, and support local biodiversity. It's a small gesture, but it carries
a powerful message about our responsibility to protect and preserve the environment.I understand that creating a promotional video for our school may also be appealing, but I believe that a tree
will leave a lasting legacy and have a more profound impact. I hope you will consider my perspective when making
the final decision.
Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to hearing the outcome of our discussions.
Best regards,
Li Hua
【参考答案】Dear Student Delegation,
Generally speaking, both plans are good. But personally, I am in favor of the first plan.
Planting a tree on campus in the name of senior three is much more meaningful. In order to make it thrive,
everyone will take good care of it, which helps stimulate the spirit of solidarity and cooperation. Besides, many
years later, when seeing it we will be reminded of the days when we worked hard here.
On the contrary, shooting short videos of enrollment requires high technical skills, especially filming and
editing. Moreover, we are not familiar with the process and details of enrollment, if there are some errors in the
video, chances are that it will not only fail to achieve the purpose of publicity, but also cause trouble for our school.
Yours,
Li Hua

Tape Script
I. Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each
conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken
only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper,
and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1. W: Excuse me, I’m looking for Option B.
M: Oh, it’s right there, on the bestseller shelf facing the main entrance.
Q: Where does this conversation take place?
2. M: Do we have enough eggs for breakfast tomorrow?
W: I picked up a dozen the other day. Last time I checked, the box was half full.
Q: How many eggs do they have?
3. W: Mrs. Clark just called. She suggested we talk with Sam about this fight he’d gotten into at school.
M: OK. I’ll come home early tonight.
Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?
4. M: Great news! The deadline has been postponed for a week.
W: Well, I’d still like to lift this burden from my shoulders sooner rather than later.
Q: How does the woman feel about the news?
5. W: How do you feel now that you’re back from your trip?
M: My legs are the sorest they’ve ever been, but it feels like I have renewed perspective.
Q: What does the man mean?
6. M: Oh no, I forgot to press the button. I should’ve gotten off at the 7th floor.
W: Don’t worry. One more floor and you will be going down.
Q: What is the man probably going to do next?
7. W: Why does everyone seem to be joining the electric vehicle race?
M: Honestly, I’m not surprised. It’s just too big a cake to pass up.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?
8. M: Good morning, I’m with Road Buddy Garage. Were you satisfied with our service yesterday, Ma’am?
W: I’m afraid there’s much room for improvement. Five hours for some regular maintenance was not reasonable.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
9. W: It’s not a very good feeling when your tolerance has been taken for granted again and again.
M: I’m sorry that I’ve made you feel that way. The last thing I want to do is to upset you.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
10. M: I’m so tired of always feeling so rushed.
W: Maybe the problem is that you’ve mistaken what’s urgent for what’s important.
Q: What does the woman imply?
Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked
several questions on each of the conversation and the passages. The conversation and the passages will be read
twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on
your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Many schools across the U.S. hold graduation ceremonies this time of year. In some schools, even five- and
six-year-olds observe their graduation from kindergarten. Meanwhile, some much older people are graduating too.
Meet 70-year-old Jerry Reid, who just graduated from the University of Virginia. He earned a bachelor’s degree.
Mr. Reid might not look like the average college student; his hair is definitely grayer. But still, his age is easy
to forget. Other college peers know him as one of their own. He joined a men’s group on campus. He sang songs
along with many other students. Mr. Reid’s school friends say they can talk to him just about anything.
About a half century ago, in his twenties, Mr. Reid was not in school. Instead, he was racing cars and chasing
girls. But he says his friend Bill invited him to parties held in universities. “Bill told me what a terrible life I had
unless I came up here and went to school with him,” said Reid. That was in 1963. Mr. Reid says it took him 48
years to take that advice. In 2011, he entered college. His professor, Luke Wright, says Mr. Reid influences
students. He opened the minds of the young adults and showed them that life does not end at 40. Instead, the 70-
year-old college graduate believes that getting older can be the beginning of a dream.
“Remember that the path you left waits for you. It’s there. It’s yours. All you must do is to get out of your own
way and get back to it. And that’s exactly what I did,” said Mr. Reid. He says that he and his wife Susan would take
some time off now to enjoy his college degree. Then, he’ll continue his studies for his graduate degree.
(Now listen again.)
Questions:
11. Which of the following is true of Mr. Reid?
12. Which of the following words best describes Mr. Reid?
13. What lesson can we learn from the story of Jerry Reid?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Every day, the alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. We jump out of bed,rush into the shower, into our clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think.
The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open-minded
thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused. The stress slows down the speed
with which signals travel between neurons, making inspiration less likely to occur. And while we all should read a
lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not make us feel good for sure, so put that news website or
newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done.
So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to fully prepare ourselves for creative problem-solving?
We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead. We’d stand a
little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of
relaxation. We’d take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once
in the office — after we get a cup of coffee—we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest
videos the internet has to offer.
(Now listen again.)
Questions:
14. When are we most creative according to the passage?
15. Which of the following is true about newspapers?
16. What does the speaker suggest we should do before working in the morning?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following longer conversation.
M: We’ll talk about something that foreigners always say when they visit Britain. It’s “Why are the British so
cold?” And they’re talking about the British personality—the famous British “reserve.” It means that we aren’t
very friendly, we aren’t very open.
W: So do you think it’s true?
M: It’s a difficult one. So many people who visit Britain say it’s difficult to make friends with British people. They
say we’re cold, reserved, unfriendly ...
W: I think it’s true. Look at Americans or Australians. They speak the same language, but they’re much more open.
And you see it when you travel. People—I mean strangers—speak to you on the street or on the train. British
people seldom speak on the train. Or the bus. Not in London, anyway.
M: “Not in London.” That’s it. Capital cities are full of tourists and are never very friendly. People are different in
other parts of the country.
W: Not completely. I met a woman once, an Italian. She’s been working in Manchester for two years, and no one—
not one of her colleagues—had ever invited her to their home. They were friendly to her at work, but nothing
else. She couldn’t believe it. She said that would never happen in Italy.
M: You know what they say—“an Englishman’s home is his castle.” It’s really difficult to get inside.
W: Yeah. It’s about being private. You go home to your house and your garden and you close the door. It’s your
place.
M: That’s why the British don’t like flats. They prefer to live in houses.
W: That’s true.
(Now listen again.)
Questions:
17. What do foreigners generally think of British people according to the man?
18. What may British people typically do on the train, according to the woman?
19. What does the woman say about the Italian woman working in Manchester?
20. Why do British people prefer houses to flats?
