While Romano’s classmates were beginning their college life, the 19-year-old Croatian young man had different dreams. In Croatia, taking a gap year is not as common as in other countries, but Romano decided to take a break for a year or two after high school and try volunteering in Africa.
Upon arrival in Arusha, Tanzania, Romano found a volunteering project through an organization. Now he helps poor children and teaches them English and math. These children are not abandoned. They come from low-income families and any help is welcome. There is no soap or running water in the school, and to learn English, the children depend on volunteers because there are not enough qualified teachers.
“They don’t have much, they are poor, but honest and happy, because they are not aware that there may be something better out there for them. As I was lecturing, I saw the materials they used for learning: worn-out pencils, one eraser for 20 children, torn and printed notebooks, and not to mention clothes and shoes. I will only tell you that uniforms are worn to conceal their clothing and thus to hide material inequality,” says Romano, who was therefore encouraged to launch a charity action to collect donations for children’s necessities.
Romano believes that every child has the right to the basics, including education. It is for this reason that he wants to help these little ones. “Even though I was aware of it before, I realized how privileged I am in life just because I was born on another continent. I learned to appreciate more what I have and manage without the basics. As a result, I met a different culture, tested my limits and looked at things from a different perspective—a gratitude perspective,” concludes Romano, hoping that little by little, both he and other volunteers will contribute to positive change through their work.
24. What did Romano do as soon as he reached Arusha?
A. Volunteer to teach the local children.
B. Make Preparations for his college life.
C. Improve the local educational program.
D. Help to train the less-qualified teachers.
25. What can be inferred about the children that Romano teaches?
A. They are too poor to be happy.
B. They all have an incomplete family.
C. They have no local English teachers.
D. They know little about the outside world.
26. Which word can replace the underlined word “conceal” in Para. 3?
A. Show. B. Rid. C. Mask. D. Advertise.
27. What did Romano learn from his experience?
A. All children should have access to everything.
B. He should treasure more his life and feel grateful.
C. Adults should try our best to make the world better.
D. He should work hard in college to be more powerful.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了19岁的克罗地亚年轻人Romano在高中毕业后，选择休息一两年，尝试在非洲做志愿者。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Upon arrival in Arusha, Tanzania, Romano found a volunteering project through an organization. Now he helps poor children and teaches them English and math.(一到坦桑尼亚的Arusha，Romano就通过一个组织找到了一个志愿服务项目。现在他帮助贫穷的孩子，教他们英语和数学。)”可知，Romano一到Arusha就自愿教当地的孩子。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“They don’t have much, they are poor, but honest and happy, because they are not aware that there may be something better out there for them.(他们没有很多东西，他们很穷，但是诚实和快乐，因为他们不知道也许有更好的东西等着他们。)”可知，这里的孩子对外面世界的了解非常少。故选D。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“thus to hide material inequality(从而掩盖物质上的不平等)”可知，划线单词的意思和“掩盖”相关。选项A“Show (展示)”；选项B“Rid (摆脱)”；选项C“Mask (掩饰、遮盖)”；选项D“Advertise (做广告)”。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Even though I was aware of it before, I realized how privileged I am in life just because I was born on another continent. I learned to appreciate more what I have and manage without the basics. As a result, I met a different culture, tested my limits and looked at things from a different perspective—a gratitude perspective,” concludes Romano, hoping that little by little, both he and other volunteers will contribute to positive change through their work.(“尽管我之前就意识到了这一点，但我意识到，仅仅因为我出生在另一个大陆，我在生活中是多么的幸运。我学会了更加珍惜我所拥有的，没有基础设施凑合着活下去。结果，我接触了一种不同的文化，测试了我的极限，从不同的角度看待事物——一种感恩的角度，”Romano总结道，希望他和其他志愿者能一点点地通过他们的工作为积极的改变做出贡献。)”可知，Romano从自己的经历中学会了珍惜自己所拥有的，懂得感恩。故选B。
C
Opera and cinema have much in common: as a matter of fact, they use music, theater, dance and other art forms at once. Cross-referencing and inspiration for each other have led to several interesting experiments.
Cinema, connected with opera, is very attractive for a long time. Opera has been used both as a setting and as a subject for cinema. From comic films to action films, opera scenes appear in a variety of genres(体裁). Whatever the film, scenes set in or around the opera tend to represent the most exciting moment in the plot.
Cinema is also capable of mixing the visual elements of the opera: cameras can catch facial expressions from close or far, special visual effects can be added digitally, and montage (蒙太奇) can change the meaning of a scene. Far from replacing the operatic experience, opera-based films provide a different, complementary take on operas: they become a genre of its own, which has been called the “opera-film”.
Adaptation of films into operas is quite a new development of the operatic world. It is, however, a quickly growing genre: more and more film-based operas are being produced. In the same way popular novels were chosen in the 19th century as plots for operas, nowadays composers turn to popular or relevant screenplays to attract the audience.
In the future, cinema and opera are highly likely to become more and more closely connected. While opera is fighting for relevance in the 21st century with new music produced, and cinema is slowly losing its leading role to high-quality on-demand TV, the two media can work together to give rise to new forms of art, combining their advantages to create something that can become larger than the sum of their parts.
28 What can be learned about opera-based films?
A. It represents a new genre of films. B. It focuses on visual experiences.
C. It has unique settings and subjects. D. It appears in a variety of genres.
29. What makes it likely for a film to be adapted into an opera?
A. Its characters. B. Its setting. C. Its subject. D. Its popularity.
30. What can be inferred about cinema and opera from the last paragraph?
A. The two should develop their own advantages in their ways.
B. The two should cooperate to make something new and bigger.
C. Cinema should take the lead in producing high-quality products.
D. Opera should work harder to become a new way of art in the 21st century.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The replacement of opera by cinema.
B. The advantages of cinema over opera.
C. The interaction between cinema and opera.
D. The similarities between cinema and opera.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了歌剧和电影之间的联系和相互影响。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Far from replacing the operatic experience, opera-based films provide a different, complementary take on operas: they become a genre of its own, which has been called the “opera-film”.(基于歌剧的电影远没有取代歌剧的体验，而是为歌剧提供了一种不同的、互补的视角：它们成为了自己的一种类型，被称为“歌剧电影”。)”可知，歌剧电影代表了一种新的电影类型。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Adaptation of films into operas is quite a new development of the operatic world. It is, however, a quickly growing genre: more and more film-based operas are being produced. In the same way popular novels were chosen in the 19th century as plots for operas, nowadays composers turn to popular or relevant screenplays to attract the audience.(将电影改编成歌剧是戏剧界的一项新发展。然而，这是一个快速发展的类型：越来越多的电影歌剧被制作出来。就像19世纪的流行小说被选为歌剧的情节一样，如今的作曲家们也转向流行或相关的剧本来吸引观众。)可知，为了吸引观众才有了更多的改变，因此推断电影被改编成歌剧取决于它的受欢迎程度。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While opera is fighting for relevance in the 21st century with new music produced, and cinema is slowly losing its leading role to high-quality on-demand TV, the two media can work together to give rise to new forms of art, combining their advantages to create something that can become larger than the sum of their parts.(随着新音乐的产生，歌剧正在为21世纪的相关性而斗争，而电影正在慢慢失去其对高质量点播电视的主导作用，这两种媒体可以合作产生新的艺术形式，结合它们的优势创造出比它们的部分之和更大的东西。)可推断，歌剧和电影这两者应该合作，做出新的更大的东西。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“In the future, cinema and opera are highly likely to become more and more closely connected. (在未来，电影和歌剧极有可能变得越来越紧密。)以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了歌剧和电影之间联系和相互影响。故选C。
D
In May 2021, a hole was found in a robotic arm aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The main cause was believed to be a piece of space junk. While thankfully no astronauts were injured, it has refocused attention on the growing problem of orbital debris (残骸).
It’s easy to forget that just seventy years ago the Moon was the only thing orbiting the Earth. On January 1st, 2021, there were 6,542 satellites in orbit. Actually, only over half of them were active. That’s a lot of useless metal rushing around the planet at 28,000 kilometers per hour.
Jan Wörner, the former European Space Agency Director General, put it this way, “Imagine how dangerous sailing the high seas would be if all the ships ever lost in history were still moving around on top of the water.” In fact, even the smallest pieces can cause huge amounts of damage.
The problem is very bad and getting worse. There are now about half a million pieces of debris about one centimeter wide or larger and 100 million pieces of debris above one millimeter across. Yet only 27,000 pieces are actively tracked.
Space is only going to get more crowded, with the number of satellite launches set to increase by five times in the next ten years. In January 2021, 143 satellites were launched into space on a single SpaceX Falcon rocket alone. And 12,000 more are to be put in orbit by Starlink over the next five years. All this greatly raises the chances of crashes.
Better control of new launches would help as right now it’s a bit of a free-for-all. Increased tracking of existing space junk could also help because active satellites can be moved off a crash course—yet dead satellites are sitting ducks and there’s nothing we can do to prevent a crash. That’s why many are calling for a clean-up job. A space debris removal task called ClearSpace-1 will be launched in 2025 and attempt to deorbit (使...脱离轨道) the upper stage of a rocket left in space back in 2013.
32. What can we learn about space junk?
A. It can be recycled for other uses. B. It has injured astronauts in space.
C. It first appeared over seventy years ago. D. It threatens the safety of space activities.
33. What mainly makes the space junk problem worse?
A. The high speed of orbital debris. B. The complex procedures of debris clean-up.
C. The large amount of untracked space debris. D. The ineffective functions of clean-up facilities.
34. How did the writer present the serious situation of space junk?
A. By listing numbers. B. By offering solutions.
C. By explaining the causes. D. By stressing the efforts.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Orbital Debris: What Results in It? B. Satellite Launches: The More the Merrier?
C. Space Junk: Is It a Disaster Waiting to Happen? D. Satellite crashes: Who Should Be Responsible?
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
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。
Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them._____36_____. There’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity.
Listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. After my sharing, a boy raised his hand and asked me some questions, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”_____37_____
Give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer. _______38_______When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.
____39____ Once you have a child in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior.

【答案】36. D 37. E 38. C 39. B 40. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些帮助孩子享受科学的建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. (孩子们一开始是自然科学家，渴望观察周围的世界)”以及后文“There’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity. (不需要很多科学术语或昂贵的实验室设备。你只需要分享你孩子的好奇心)”可知，后文提到了不需要很多科学术语或昂贵的实验室设备，说明让孩子享受科学很容易，故D选项“帮助他们享受科学很容易”符合语境，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. After my sharing, a boy raised his hand and asked me some questions, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” (倾听他们的问题。我曾经访问过一个七岁孩子的教室，把科学作为一项工作来谈论。在我的分享之后，一个男孩举手问了我几个问题：“你见过蚱蜢吃东西吗？当我试着吃那样的叶子时，我胃痛。为什么？”)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明男孩的问题引发的结果：由此开始了一系列持续了近两个小时的问题。故E选项“由此开始了一系列持续了近两个小时的问题”符合语境，故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer. (给他们思考的时间。过去30年的研究表明，在一个问题之后，成年人通常只等一秒钟或更短的时间就会得到答案)”以及后文“When adults increase their “wait time “to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers. (当大人将“等待时间”增加到三秒或更长时间时，孩子们会给出更有逻辑、完整和创造性的答案)”可知，上文提到了大人回答问题的时间，推测本句是在说明孩子思考和问题所需要的条件，与后文延长时间孩子给出更有逻辑、完整和创造性的答案相对应，故C选项“孩子没有时间思考”符合语境，故选C。
【39题详解】
根据后文“Once you have a child in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before,” or coming up with more questions or ideas. (一旦你让孩子参与到科学讨论中，不要直接说“那是对的”或“非常好”。当涉及到鼓励良好行为时，这些话很有效。但在谈论科学时，快速的赞美可能意味着讨论结束。相反，你应该继续说，“这很有趣”或“我以前从来没有这样想过”，或者提出更多的问题或想法)”可知，本段的主旨在于用什么样的语言进行鼓励，故B选项“注意你的语言”符合语境，故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Show rather than tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜). (展示而不是讲述。现实生活中对自然的印象比孩子们从书本或电视节目中学到的任何课程都要深刻得多。让孩子们用放大镜观察自己的指尖)”可知，上文提到了“让孩子们用放大镜观察自己的指尖”，说明让孩子用观察的方式来理解做一些事情的原因，G选项中they对应上文children。故G选项“他们也会明白你为什么要他们在晚饭前洗漱”符合语境，故选G。

【导语】本文是新闻报道。报道了第一位获得自然科学奖项的中国科学家——屠呦呦。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：她就是屠呦呦，因获得诺贝尔生理学或医学奖而一夜成名。分析句子结构可知，此处特指诺贝尔生理学或医学奖，应用定冠词the。故填the。
【57题详解】

【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：屠呦呦1930年12月30日出生于浙江宁波，1951年至1955年就读于北京医学院(现北京大学医学部)。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词studied，所以bear用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是Tu Youyou，两者是被动关系，所以用过去分词表被动，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Born。
【59题详解】

考查形容词。句意：到1972年，她成功地从一种对疟疾非常有效的中草药中提取出了青蒿素。分析句子结构可知，空前是系动词，所以空处应填形容词作表语，effect的形容词形式是effective。故填effective。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在中草药的帮助下，屠女士和她的团队战胜了疟疾，这种疾病在过去夺去了数千人的生命。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是malaria，在从句中作主语，应该用which引导。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意：2019年，由于她的巨大贡献，她被提名为“20世纪最伟大的人”，此后，她因其对医学研究的巨大贡献和卓越的科学成就而受到高度尊重。分析句子结构可知，空前是形容词，所以空处应填名词作of的宾语，contribute的名词形式是contribution意为“贡献”为可数名词，此处即可用单数也可用复数。故填contribution或者contributions。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：2019年，由于她的巨大贡献，她被提名为“20世纪最伟大的人”，此后，她因其对医学研究的巨大贡献和卓越的科学成就而受到高度尊重。分析句子结构可知，respect作谓语，和主语she之间是被动关系，根据时间状语since then，用现在完成时。故填has been respected。

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Justin and his younger sister, Lily, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they has only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Justin took Lily’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It was not until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Lily agreed and the two decided to share Justin’s running shoes. Lily’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Justin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Justin often arrived late and was warned by the school.
A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Justin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Justin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Lily and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two faster runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Justin from behind and Justin crashed to the ground.
Paragraph 1: Justin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Filled with pleasure, Justin walked home in no time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Justin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this crucial point, Justin clenched his teeth, jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. Finally, he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line. Justin couldn’t help sobbing at the thought of letting his sister down. But much to his surprise, the runner who collided with him was disqualified for breaking the rule and Justin won the third prize. Justin was on the top of the world and relieved during the award ceremony, holding the shoes close to his chest.
Filled with pleasure, Justin walked home in no time. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Justin found Lily was walking about outside nervously and anxiously. “Lily, see what I have got for you.” Justin said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Lily saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Justin. “Thank you! Justin.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.

While Romano’s classmates were beginning their college life, the 19-year-old Croatian young man had different dreams. In Croatia, taking a gap year is not as common as in other countries, but Romano decided to take a break for a year or two after high school and try volunteering in Africa.
Upon arrival in Arusha, Tanzania, Romano found a volunteering project through an organization. Now he helps poor children and teaches them English and math. These children are not abandoned. They come from low-income families and any help is welcome. There is no soap or running water in the school, and to learn English, the children depend on volunteers because there are not enough qualified teachers.
“They don’t have much, they are poor, but honest and happy, because they are not aware that there may be something better out there for them. As I was lecturing, I saw the materials they used for learning: worn-out pencils, one eraser for 20 children, torn and printed notebooks, and not to mention clothes and shoes. I will only tell you that uniforms are worn to conceal their clothing and thus to hide material inequality,” says Romano, who was therefore encouraged to launch a charity action to collect donations for children’s necessities.
Romano believes that every child has the right to the basics, including education. It is for this reason that he wants to help these little ones. “Even though I was aware of it before, I realized how privileged I am in life just because I was born on another continent. I learned to appreciate more what I have and manage without the basics. As a result, I met a different culture, tested my limits and looked at things from a different perspective—a gratitude perspective,” concludes Romano, hoping that little by little, both he and other volunteers will contribute to positive change through their work.
24. What did Romano do as soon as he reached Arusha?
A. Volunteer to teach the local children.
B. Make Preparations for his college life.
C. Improve the local educational program.
D. Help to train the less-qualified teachers.
25. What can be inferred about the children that Romano teaches?
A. They are too poor to be happy.
B. They all have an incomplete family.
C. They have no local English teachers.
D. They know little about the outside world.
26. Which word can replace the underlined word “conceal” in Para. 3?
A. Show. B. Rid. C. Mask. D. Advertise.
27. What did Romano learn from his experience?
A. All children should have access to everything.
B. He should treasure more his life and feel grateful.
C. Adults should try our best to make the world better.
D. He should work hard in college to be more powerful.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了19岁的克罗地亚年轻人Romano在高中毕业后，选择休息一两年，尝试在非洲做志愿者。

【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Even though I was aware of it before, I realized how privileged I am in life just because I was born on another continent. I learned to appreciate more what I have and manage without the basics. As a result, I met a different culture, tested my limits and looked at things from a different perspective—a gratitude perspective,” concludes Romano, hoping that little by little, both he and other volunteers will contribute to positive change through their work.(“尽管我之前就意识到了这一点，但我意识到，仅仅因为我出生在另一个大陆，我在生活中是多么的幸运。我学会了更加珍惜我所拥有的，没有基础设施凑合着活下去。结果，我接触了一种不同的文化，测试了我的极限，从不同的角度看待事物——一种感恩的角度，”Romano总结道，希望他和其他志愿者能一点点地通过他们的工作为积极的改变做出贡献。)”可知，Romano从自己的经历中学会了珍惜自己所拥有的，懂得感恩。故选B。
C
Opera and cinema have much in common: as a matter of fact, they use music, theater, dance and other art forms at once. Cross-referencing and inspiration for each other have led to several interesting experiments.
Cinema, connected with opera, is very attractive for a long time. Opera has been used both as a setting and as a subject for cinema. From comic films to action films, opera scenes appear in a variety of genres(体裁). Whatever the film, scenes set in or around the opera tend to represent the most exciting moment in the plot.
Cinema is also capable of mixing the visual elements of the opera: cameras can catch facial expressions from close or far, special visual effects can be added digitally, and montage (蒙太奇) can change the meaning of a scene. Far from replacing the operatic experience, opera-based films provide a different, complementary take on operas: they become a genre of its own, which has been called the “opera-film”.
Adaptation of films into operas is quite a new development of the operatic world. It is, however, a quickly growing genre: more and more film-based operas are being produced. In the same way popular novels were chosen in the 19th century as plots for operas, nowadays composers turn to popular or relevant screenplays to attract the audience.
In the future, cinema and opera are highly likely to become more and more closely connected. While opera is fighting for relevance in the 21st century with new music produced, and cinema is slowly losing its leading role to high-quality on-demand TV, the two media can work together to give rise to new forms of art, combining their advantages to create something that can become larger than the sum of their parts.
28 What can be learned about opera-based films?
A. It represents a new genre of films. B. It focuses on visual experiences.
C. It has unique settings and subjects. D. It appears in a variety of genres.
29. What makes it likely for a film to be adapted into an opera?
A. Its characters. B. Its setting. C. Its subject. D. Its popularity.
30. What can be inferred about cinema and opera from the last paragraph?
A. The two should develop their own advantages in their ways.
B. The two should cooperate to make something new and bigger.
C. Cinema should take the lead in producing high-quality products.
D. Opera should work harder to become a new way of art in the 21st century.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The replacement of opera by cinema.
B. The advantages of cinema over opera.
C. The interaction between cinema and opera.
D. The similarities between cinema and opera.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了歌剧和电影之间的联系和相互影响。

推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Far from replacing the operatic experience, opera-based films provide a different, complementary take on operas: they become a genre of its own, which has been called the “opera-film”.(基于歌剧的电影远没有取代歌剧的体验，而是为歌剧提供了一种不同的、互补的视角：它们成为了自己的一种类型，被称为“歌剧电影”。)”可知，歌剧电影代表了一种新的电影类型。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Adaptation of films into operas is quite a new development of the operatic world. It is, however, a quickly growing genre: more and more film-based operas are being produced. In the same way popular novels were chosen in the 19th century as plots for operas, nowadays composers turn to popular or relevant screenplays to attract the audience.(将电影改编成歌剧是戏剧界的一项新发展。然而，这是一个快速发展的类型：越来越多的电影歌剧被制作出来。就像19世纪的流行小说被选为歌剧的情节一样，如今的作曲家们也转向流行或相关的剧本来吸引观众。)可知，为了吸引观众才有了更多的改变，因此推断电影被改编成歌剧取决于它的受欢迎程度。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While opera is fighting for relevance in the 21st century with new music produced, and cinema is slowly losing its leading role to high-quality on-demand TV, the two media can work together to give rise to new forms of art, combining their advantages to create something that can become larger than the sum of their parts.(随着新音乐的产生，歌剧正在为21世纪的相关性而斗争，而电影正在慢慢失去其对高质量点播电视的主导作用，这两种媒体可以合作产生新的艺术形式，结合它们的优势创造出比它们的部分之和更大的东西。)可推断，歌剧和电影这两者应该合作，做出新的更大的东西。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“In the future, cinema and opera are highly likely to become more and more closely connected. (在未来，电影和歌剧极有可能变得越来越紧密。)以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了歌剧和电影之间联系和相互影响。故选C。
D
In May 2021, a hole was found in a robotic arm aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The main cause was believed to be a piece of space junk. While thankfully no astronauts were injured, it has refocused attention on the growing problem of orbital debris (残骸).
It’s easy to forget that just seventy years ago the Moon was the only thing orbiting the Earth. On January 1st, 2021, there were 6,542 satellites in orbit. Actually, only over half of them were active. That’s a lot of useless metal rushing around the planet at 28,000 kilometers per hour.
Jan Wörner, the former European Space Agency Director General, put it this way, “Imagine how dangerous sailing the high seas would be if all the ships ever lost in history were still moving around on top of the water.” In fact, even the smallest pieces can cause huge amounts of damage.
The problem is very bad and getting worse. There are now about half a million pieces of debris about one centimeter wide or larger and 100 million pieces of debris above one millimeter across. Yet only 27,000 pieces are actively tracked.
Space is only going to get more crowded, with the number of satellite launches set to increase by five times in the next ten years. In January 2021, 143 satellites were launched into space on a single SpaceX Falcon rocket alone. And 12,000 more are to be put in orbit by Starlink over the next five years. All this greatly raises the chances of crashes.
Better control of new launches would help as right now it’s a bit of a free-for-all. Increased tracking of existing space junk could also help because active satellites can be moved off a crash course—yet dead satellites are sitting ducks and there’s nothing we can do to prevent a crash. That’s why many are calling for a clean-up job. A space debris removal task called ClearSpace-1 will be launched in 2025 and attempt to deorbit (使...脱离轨道) the upper stage of a rocket left in space back in 2013.
32. What can we learn about space junk?
A. It can be recycled for other uses. B. It has injured astronauts in space.
C. It first appeared over seventy years ago. D. It threatens the safety of space activities.
33. What mainly makes the space junk problem worse?
A. The high speed of orbital debris. B. The complex procedures of debris clean-up.
C. The large amount of untracked space debris. D. The ineffective functions of clean-up facilities.
34. How did the writer present the serious situation of space junk?
A. By listing numbers. B. By offering solutions.
C. By explaining the causes. D. By stressing the efforts.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Orbital Debris: What Results in It? B. Satellite Launches: The More the Merrier?
C. Space Junk: Is It a Disaster Waiting to Happen? D. Satellite crashes: Who Should Be Responsible?
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. C

Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them._____36_____. There’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity.
Listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. After my sharing, a boy raised his hand and asked me some questions, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”_____37_____
Give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer. _______38_______When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.
____39____ Once you have a child in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting”or “I’d never thought of it that way before,” or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Show rather than tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜). _____40_____
A. Do not interrupt.
B. Watch your language.
C. There is no time for a child to think.
D. Helping them enjoy science can be easy.

You only have to share your children’s curiosity. (不需要很多科学术语或昂贵的实验室设备。你只需要分享你孩子的好奇心)”可知，后文提到了不需要很多科学术语或昂贵的实验室设备，说明让孩子享受科学很容易，故D选项“帮助他们享受科学很容易”符合语境，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. After my sharing, a boy raised his hand and asked me some questions, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” (倾听他们的问题。我曾经访问过一个七岁孩子的教室，把科学作为一项工作来谈论。在我的分享之后，一个男孩举手问了我几个问题：“你见过蚱蜢吃东西吗？当我试着吃那样的叶子时，我胃痛。为什么？”)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明男孩的问题引发的结果：由此开始了一系列持续了近两个小时的问题。故E选项“由此开始了一系列持续了近两个小时的问题”符合语境，故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer.

(当大人将“等待时间”增加到三秒或更长时间时，孩子们会给出更有逻辑、完整和创造性的答案)”可知，上文提到了大人回答问题的时间，推测本句是在说明孩子思考和问题所需要的条件，与后文延长时间孩子给出更有逻辑、完整和创造性的答案相对应，故C选项“孩子没有时间思考”符合语境，故选C。
【39题详解】
根据后文“Once you have a child in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before,” or coming up with more questions or ideas. (一旦你让孩子参与到科学讨论中，不要直接说“那是对的”或“非常好”。当涉及到鼓励良好行为时，这些话很有效。但在谈论科学时，快速的赞美可能意味着讨论结束。相反，你应该继续说，“这很有趣”或“我以前从来没有这样想过”，或者提出更多的问题或想法)”可知，本段的主旨在于用什么样的语言进行鼓励，故B选项“注意你的语言”符合语境，故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Show rather than tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜). (展示而不是讲述。现实生活中对自然的印象比孩子们从书本或电视节目中学到的任何课程都要深刻得多。让孩子们用放大镜观察自己的指尖)”可知，上文提到了“让孩子们用放大镜观察自己的指尖”，说明让孩子用观察的方式来理解做一些事情的原因，G选项中they对应上文children。故G选项“他们也会明白你为什么要他们在晚饭前洗漱”符合语境，故选G。

【59题详解】

考查定语从句。句意：在中草药的帮助下，屠女士和她的团队战胜了疟疾，这种疾病在过去夺去了数千人的生命。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是malaria，在从句中作主语，应该用which引导。故填which。

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Justin and his younger sister, Lily, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they has only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Justin took Lily’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It was not until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Lily agreed and the two decided to share Justin’s running shoes. Lily’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Justin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Justin often arrived late and was warned by the school.
A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Justin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Justin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Lily and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two faster runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Justin from behind and Justin crashed to the ground.
Paragraph 1: Justin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Filled with pleasure, Justin walked home in no time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Justin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this crucial point, Justin clenched his teeth, jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. Finally, he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line. Justin couldn’t help sobbing at the thought of letting his sister down. But much to his surprise, the runner who collided with him was disqualified for breaking the rule and Justin won the third prize. Justin was on the top of the world and relieved during the award ceremony, holding the shoes close to his chest.
Filled with pleasure, Justin walked home in no time. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Justin found Lily was walking about outside nervously and anxiously. “Lily, see what I have got for you.” Justin said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Lily saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Justin. “Thank you! Justin.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
