Children’s books for those under age five often embrace science.Well before they enter their first classroom,children eagerly explore their environment in search of answers to an endless stream of why and how questions.
Roughly1,100books begin with“How do...”.Of those,approximately one tenth are about engineering and science(e.g.How Do Airplanes Fly?and How Do Animals Move?).In that tenth, the vast majority(well over90%)are children’s books.
Children seem to be more interested in the hows and whys of the world than adults.A burst of research in the last decade confirms the apparent pattern in book titles.From three to six years of age,children ask many how and why questions,but then those questions decrease quickly during the elementary school years and beyond.
Most children’s spontaneous(自发的)love of science fades by adulthood.Is it a problem with science itself?Despite some claims to that,the real cause is a decline in wonder.Wonder is the engine that drives exploration and discovery,and when it disappears,a strong feeling of love for the workings of the world melts away.
Every child wants to know how the world works.We are all born with wonder—with curious minds,fascinated by the world around us.Young children and even infants are naturally engaging in intuitive science every day,often with complex methods.
This loss of wonder is not because we suddenly understand everything—we don’t—but because distrust,disengagement,and denial can become embedded into many aspects of our lives. Besides,the consequences(影响)of this loss of wonder are profound.Because loss of wonder can lead to especially poor understandings of underlying mechanisms,we become vulnerable to misinformation and manipulation(操纵)by others.Even worse,abandonment of wonder will take away the rewarding joy of discovery from us.
This loss of wonder,however,is not inevitable.We can all take simple action to reawaken that initial spark and live lives lit by wonder.
24.When are how and why questions asked less frequently?
A.When they attend secondary schools.
B.When they are more than three years old.
C.When they are three to six years of age.
D.During the elementary school years and beyond.
25.Why does most children's love of science fade by adulthood?
A.Because science becomes too complicated for them.
B.Because their childhood wonder declines over time.
C.Because they gradually lose their interest in science.
D.Because adults are too busy to spend time on science.
26.What genre does this passage belong to?
A.A narrative writing(记叙文).
B.A practical writing.
C.An expository writing(说明文).
D.An argumentative essay.
27.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The loss of wonder results in poor understanding.
B.The consequences of the loss of wonder are profound.
C.We can hardly explore the world without wonder.
D.We can still regain the lost wonder.
C
The garment(服装)industry is one of the largest carbon polluters on planet Earth,and one of the greatest producers of waste.Three out of five of the100billion garments made in2018ended up in landfill within a year.Toxic chemicals land in the environment and worker communities,and the production of cotton uses up vast amounts of water.
The business model of fast fashion has led to an enormous increase in the amounts of clothes that are produced,sold,and thrown.According to McKinsey,clothing production doubled from 2000to2014,and the average consumer buys60%more garments each year.At the same time, these clothes are kept only half as long as they were a mere fifteen years ago.
About100billion items of clothing are produced each year;that's nearly14items for every human being on the planet.Some of those never even reach the consumers;it caused a minor anger when in2018a luxury brand admitted to burning clothes just to protect the brand.
Yet,with clothes being so cheap,people do not wear at least50percent of their wardrobes, according to this study.The clothing and footwear industries together account for more than8 percent of global climate influence,greater than all international airline flights and oceanic shipping trips combined.Water usage for growing cotton has led to huge lack of water,and coloring and treatment of garments make up17%—20%of all industrial water pollution.
An industry that makes billions on the use of the planet does not suddenly become more sustainable(可持续的)when they start using organic cotton,or start burning their unsold goods (remember—people worked really hard for very little money on those clothes!)as a green fuel…
28.What does the underlined word“Toxic”mean in paragraph1?
A.Colorful.
B.Enormous.
C.Beneficial.
D.Poisonous.
29.Why do people throw so many clothes away?
A.The new model clothing change too slowly.
B.Some luxury clothes are cheap.
C.There are more new clothes every year.
D.They want to make full use of green fuel.
30.What may garment waste influence least?
A.Fishing.
B.Climate.
C.Transport.
D.Agriculture.
31.What is the text mainly about?
A.Clothing waste.
B.Sources of pollution.
C.The garment industry.
D.Effects of environmental pollution.

Despite the life-saving COVID-19vaccines(疫苗),so many people died in the second year of the pandemic in the US that the nation’s life expectancy dropped for a second year in a row last year,according to a new analysis.
The analysis of government statistics found US life expectancy fell by just under half a year in 2021,adding to a dramatic drop in life expectancy that occurred in2020.Dr.Steven Woolf,a professor of population health and health expert at Virginia Commonwealth University,who helped conduct the analysis,said many of the deaths occurred in people in the prime of their lives. And Woolf added that it drove the overall US life expectancy to fall to76.6years—the lowest in at least25years.
“Shame on the US,”said Noreen Goldman,a professor at Princeton University.The2021 drop came after US life expectancy fell in2020,dropping by almost two years.It’s unclear why this happened,but Woolf and others thought it may be due in part to some Americans more likely to live in states with fewer restrictions,so they let down their guard more,while often refusing to get vaccinated.
“The deaths that occurred in2021were a product not only of a lack of COVID-19vaccines, which was a factor,but also being in places that didn’t observe policies like masking and social distancing that prevented spread of the virus,which was the main reason,”Woolf said.
The2021drop also widened the gap in life expectancy between the US and other countries, the analysis found.That was due primarily to lower vaccination rates in the US,researchers said. The researchers also said a big part of that was fewer restrictions and more vaccine hesitation in the US,which resulted in lower vaccination rates and a much higher death number.The other health problems like heart attack and overweight also played a role,they said.
“We spent a fortune on medical care and we’re a high-income country.Our government should be able to do far better,”Goldman said.
32.What was America’s life expectancy before COVID-19?
A.About79.1years.
B.About78.6years.
C.About77.1years.
D.About76.6years.
33.What played an important role in leading the high death rate in the US?
ck of medicine.
B.Powerful virus.
C.Violation of anti-epidemic policies.
D.The government's negative act.
34.Which column of a magazine can this text come from?
A.Politics.
B.Science.
cation.
D.Health.
35.What is Goldman’s attitude toward the government?
A.Unsatisfied.
B.Objective.
C.Supportive.
D.Unconcerned.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10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。

New Year’s resolutions are usually like some of those promises that are meant to be broken. The word“New”in the new year,puts a lot of pressure on starting over and turning a new leaf.But you must remember you cannot just become a different person overnight when the clock strikes twelve.36.Instead of making resolutions that cause you stress,anxiety or more pain,set out this year by making resolutions that will encourage self-care.
To start fresh this New Year’s Day,here are a few tips setting realistic new year's resolutions in order to avoid the burden of disappointment next year.
Choose a very specific goal
Vague plans like“lose weight”,“exercise more”or“write more”are goals with no teeth.They are vague plans and desires,and are very easy to explain away due to how vague they are.37. Such goals with a certain task weight-age,are much more doable than vague goals.
38.
Once you have chosen your goals,make a very detailed plan of how you will reach that goal. Having a plan and a pathway can help you visualize your progress and won’t make you impatient for immediate results.That way you will have already visualized what progress would look like for you in say,3months,5months,7months or every day depending on your goals.
Get yourself a social tribe
In today’s social media world,it is easy to find a group of like-minded individuals interested in sharing your goal.Get yourself a social group like this.However,just as there is a bright side to having a social tribe,the pitfall(隐患)is the pressure.Don’t get consumed by social media and what others are doing.39.
Accept failure and forgive yourself
40.Accept this failure;own it and forgive yourself.Being harsh on yourself will only do you more harm so instead learn from what went wrong and instead of quitting the resolution at the end of next year,see it through until you reach your goal.
A.Make a pathway to reach that goal
B.Be patient with your progress
C.Instead,set goals like“exercise20minutes every day”or“lose15pounds”
D.Despite all your efforts,it is possible that you might fail or slip up
E.Therefore,new year’s resolutions usually end up in failure
F.Change is a difficult process—the key words being“difficult”and“process”
G.Remember you have this group only for support,not for comparison

“Are you sure?”my husband asked tentatively.“43,”I replied.I was beaming(笑容满面) with44.“I’ve never painted before,and I think it’s time I improved myself.”

参考范文：
I can see two boys:one is focused on the loss while the other is centred on what is left.Attitudes vary from person to person towards things.
The boy on the left is feeling terrible when seeing the bottle has fallen to the ground and there's hardly any water left.On the contrary,the boy on the right is obviously happy to see there's still some left,for his face lights up.Apparently, one boy is negative and pessimistic,but the other is positive and optimistic.
The overall message we can take from the picture is that we should view
things in a positive way as every cloud has a silver lining.

thoughtfully考虑周到地; pointedly明确地，直言不讳地;hesitantly迟疑地，犹豫地;loudly大声地。

43.D由作者的丈夫提出的问题“Are you sure?”可知，作者的丈夫应该是迟疑地问作者是否确定。

casually不在意地，随便地；impatiently不耐烦地；nervously紧张地；tentatively踌躇地，不确定地。

44.A作者非常确定自己想要的礼物，甚至笑容满面，故可推知，作者非常期待份礼物。

expectation预期，期待；astonishment惊讶；desperation绝望；satisfaction满足。

45.B“if truth be told”为固定句式，意为“说实话”。

46.B由后文可知，作者曾经喜欢读书、远足，作者非常想念那些活动，故推知，作者现在没有时间进行那些活动了,也就是作者没有时间“追求”自己的爱好了。

accumulate积累；pursue追求；restart重新开始；express表达。

47.B本题可以利用语境及常识解题。

由前文可知，作者没有时间追求自己的爱好，故作者的书积了灰，作者用来远足的靴子放在壁橱里被忽视。

collect聚积，积聚，积累；cover
覆盖，包括；blow吹。

48.A参看上题解析。

ignore忽视；damage损坏；restore修复；display展览，陈列。

49.D作者想要学画画，喜欢色彩，故选D。

50.C作者得到了礼品卡,故作者在店里“挑选”了自己认为最有趣的必需品。

comment评价;assign分配；select挑选；occupy占据。

51.A根据上下文可知，作者的丈夫对她非常了解，认为她做事容易半途而废。

52.A本题可以利用语境及原词复现解题。

由前文中的“now my boots sat(ignored)in my cupboard”以及空前的the same可知，作者的丈夫指的是作者会将自己的绘画用具放在同一个壁橱中。

53.C作者听了丈夫的回答，有那么一瞬间怀疑自己是否能投入进去。

a split second意为“刹那，瞬间”。

painful痛苦的puzzling令人迷惑不解的；proper适当的，恰当的。

54.C本题可以利用语境及常识解题。

由前文可知，作者挑选好了用具，故推知，作者走到了付款台。

adapt使适应；employ雇用；march迫使（某人）快步走；devote献身。

55.B由前文“For the first month,he was right”可知，作者的丈夫说中了，作者的确没有开始画画，仅仅是每天“欣赏”着这些用具。

observe观察，遵守,庆祝；admire欣赏；purchase购买；notice注意到。

56.C根据下文作者的儿子问她“when are you getting to paint?”可知，该空需填时间。

57.D由前文作者不画画，仅仅是欣赏那些用具及后文中的“far longer than I realized”可知，作者一直在盯着绘画用具。

look for寻找；take over接管；track down追踪到；stare at盯着看。

58.D作者在这一契机下“宣布”画画从今天开始。

escape逃脱；gesture打手势；explain解释；announce宣布。

59.A本题可以利用语境及逻辑关系解题。

作者在儿子问完问题之后开始画画，再由前文中的“Within a year，I sold my first four works”可知，作者一年内就卖四幅作品，由此推知，此处是说作者画得很好，有勇气将自己的画交给画廊。

submit提交，呈递；donate捐赠；apply申请，应用；transport运输。

60.C根据全文可知，主人公找到了人生目标，因此选purpose。

语法填空：
61.known考查非谓语动词，过去分词作后置定语
62.a考查冠词
63.with考查短语be blessed with及介词加关系代词
64.has encountered考查动词的时态，这里强调已经经历过生活中的各种挑战，因此用现在完成时或者encountered一般过去时
65.that考查同位语从句
66.his考查人称代词，这里需要作定语，因此用his
67.positivity考查词性转换，介词后要用名词
68.motivational考查词性转换，这里需要作定语，意思是“励志的”
69.shows考查动词的时态及主谓一致，该动词的主语为he
70.to amaze考查非谓语动词的用法，serve to do意思是“产生某种结果”
短文改错：
71.去to，visit为及物动词，后面直接跟宾语;visit如果是名词，后面要加to
72.many改为much，information为不可数名词.
73.Feel改为Feeling，这里需要非谓语，而且是主语发出的动作
74.the改为a，这里是首次出现guide
75.designing改为designed,paper cuts是接受动作，所以用过分
76.that改为which，that不可引导非限制性定语从句
77.cut为cuts，前面有some修饰，且paper cut为可数名词。

78.go改为went，全文时态要保持一致
79.添加and/so，最后两个句子之间属于并列关系。

80.certain改为certainly，修饰谓语动词要用副词
