一、2022年高考真题
1. （2022年全国甲卷）
As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
28. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree.
C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise.
29. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?
A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery.
C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation.
30. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?
A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible.
C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience.
C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.

2. (2022年全国高考新高考I卷)
The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. ”
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”
“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
28. What is the purpose of the project?
A. To ensure harmony in care homes. B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
C. To raise money for medical research. D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.
29. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?
A. She has learned new life skills. B. She has gained a sense of achievement.
C. She has recovered her memory. D. She has developed a strong personality.
30. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?
A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Begin. D. Evaluate.
31. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?
A. It is well received. B. It needs to be more creative.
C. It is highly profitable. D. It takes ages to see the results.
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了旨在减少孤独，改善老年人的健康状况的项目。
21. 【答案】D
【解析】题干中的the project指第一段中提及的“伦敦养老院让老人们养母鸡来减轻孤独感”这一项目。文章第二段“The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing (该项目由当地一家慈善机构构想，旨在减少孤独，改善老年人的健康状况)”可知，这个由当地慈善组织发起的项目旨在帮助老人们减少孤独感并改善他们的健康状况，提高老人们的福祉。故选D。
22. 【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。RuthXavicr是一位参加了该项目的老人，本题考查该项目对这位老人的影响。第三段中Ruth Xavier说她以前养过母鸡并回忆了她如何养鸡，因此A、C项表述错误。根据第四段中的I like the project a lot和第五段中的I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful可知，Ruth Xavier喜欢这个项目，也享受这些富有创意的活动，因为做有用的事情她感觉很好，很有成就感。因此B项正确。D项“她养成了坚强的个性”在文中没有提及。
23. 【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here. (居民们非常欢迎该项目的想法和创意会议。我们期待这个项目能给这里的人们带来好处和乐趣)”以及划线处前的“one of the first (第一批人之一)”可知Wendy Wilson是着手这项工程的人之一，划线处的含义与C项：“Begin (开始)”含义相近。故选C。
24.【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here. (居民们非常欢迎该项目的想法和创意会议。我们期待这个项目能给这里的人们带来好处和乐趣)”以及最后一段“Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.” (“诺丁山路径”的负责人林恩·刘易斯说:我们很高兴能参与这个项目。它将通过共同的兴趣和创造性活动真正帮助我们与我们的居民建立良好关系)”可知，该项目的反响很好。故选A。
3. (2022年全国高考新高考I卷)
Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula (芝麻菜)was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story. It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away — from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.
Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”
If that’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time — but for him, it's more like 12 bones of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.
Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don’t think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.
24. What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?
A. We pay little attention to food waste. B. We waste food unintentionally at times.
C We waste more vegetables than meat. D. We have good reasons for wasting food.
25. What is a consequence of food waste according to the test?
A. Moral decline. B. Environmental harm.
C. Energy shortage. D. Worldwide starvation.
26. What does Curtin’s company do?
A. It produces kitchen equipment. B. It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.
C. It helps local farmers grow fruits. D. It makes meals out of unwanted food.
27. What does Curtin suggest people do?
A. Buy only what is needed. B. Reduce food consumption.
C. Go shopping once a week. D. Eat in restaurants less often.
【语篇导读】作者通过自己无意间浪费芝麻菜的经历就“食物浪费”展开的议论。
24.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste.(像我们大多数人一样，我努力关注那些被浪费的食物)”及“But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; could have made six salads with what I threw out.(但随着时间的推移，芝麻菜变坏了。更糟糕的是，我不假思索地买了太多东西；我扔掉的东西可以做六份沙拉)”可推知，作者想通过讲述芝麻菜的故事来表明我们有时会无意间浪费食物。故选B。
25.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other, resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”(生产没人吃的食物会浪费用于种植食物的水、燃料和其他资源。这使得食物浪费成为一个环境问题。事实上，罗伊特写道，“如果食物浪费是一个国家，它将是世界上第三大温室气体排放国。”)”可知，根据文中的说法，浪费食物的一个后果是对环境的危害。故选B。
26.【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington. D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce, that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.(科廷是华盛顿DC中央厨房的首席执行官，该公司把食物复原，变成健康的食物。去年，该组织通过接受捐赠和收集有瑕疵的农产品，收回了超过807500磅的食物，否则这些农产品就会在地里腐烂。草莓呢？志愿者们将清洗、切割、冷冻或干燥它们，以便在路上的餐食中使用)”可知，科廷的公司用人们不想要的食物重新制作食物。故选D。
27.【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.(“每个人都可以在减少浪费方面发挥作用，无论是在每周的购物中不购买不必要的食物，还是要求餐馆不包括你不吃的配菜，”科廷说)”可知，科廷建议人们只买需要的东西来避免浪费食物。故选A。
二、2022届模拟题
Passage 1（2022·湖南·周南中学模拟预测）
It was the festive season. Mom had baked some delicious cookies. Jam tarts were always my favorite and I had enjoyed myself to excess. Moreover, the refrigerator was well-stocked with chocolates and ice-cream so I helped myself to all the goodies. That night I woke up with an unbearable toothache. No amount of aspirin could stop the pain.
When morning arrived, I had to do the unavoidable - make an appointment with the dentist. My dental appointment was at 2 pm that afternoon, which was just another four hours away. The thought was enough to kill my interest in everything else. I had butterflies in my stomach. I arrived at the dental clinic an hour before the appointment.
After registering, I walked unenthusiastically towards a chair. I did not even bother to look at the other patients. Picking up a few magazines, I tried to read to get rid of my fear and pain, but I could not concentrate. All I was aware of was a terrible pain. The sight of patients coming out from the treatment room, with large pieces of gauze sticking out from their mouths, only seemed to worsen my pain.
One of my New Year resolutions was made while I was shifting restlessly in my seat. I vowed never to taste another jam tart or take a chunky bite of chocolate in the future.
When my name was finally called, I staggered into the treatment room. I heard the dentist greeting me, but I could not bring myself to respond to his greeting. The sight of the drilling equipment and the hypodermic syringes (皮下注射器) only increased my feelings of sickness. When the dentist asked me to take my seat and then open my mouth, I felt my heart pounding very fast. I was sure that I was going to get a heart attack.
The dentist informed me that it was best to extract the tooth. I nodded and opened my mouth and tried to think of other things. The next minute or so was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I grabbed the dentist’s hands more than once. At first, he was quite taken aback and eyed me suspiciously. Then he warned me that he would have my hands tied if I were to repeat my antics. I did not think that he was joking!
Soon the pain gave way to a soothing sensation. When the dentist told me that the pain was all over, I could hardly believe my ears. After paying for the extraction, I walked out of the clinic confidently and headed for the nearest bus stop. I swore that this would be the first and the last time I stepped into a dental clinic.
1．What might be the reason for my not feeling well that night?
A．Too much fun during the day. B．An upset stomach.
C．Unrestrained eating of goodies. D．Overuse of aspirin.
2．What did I do to distract me from the toothache before I met the dentist?
A．Making an appointment with the dentist. B．Trying to read some magazines.
C．Observing other patients. D．Making my New Year wishes.
3．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underline word in the sixth paragraph?
A．rude behavior B．natural behavior
C．dangerous behavior D．interesting behavior
4．What lesson might the author have learned from this experience?
A．After a storm comes a calm. B．Diet cures more than doctors.
C．Fear is often greater than the danger. D．A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因为一次放纵自己吃甜食，导致牙疼得去牙科诊所拔牙的故事。作者决心吸取教训，吃一堑，长一智。
1． 【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Jam tarts were always my favorite and I had enjoyed myself to excess. Moreover, the refrigerator was well-stocked with chocolates and ice-cream so I helped myself to all the goodies. That night I woke up with an unbearable toothache. (果酱馅饼一直是我的最爱，我吃得太过瘾了。而且，冰箱里摆满了巧克力和冰淇淋，所以我随便吃了些好东西。那天晚上，我醒来时牙疼得难以忍受。)”可知，那天晚上作者感觉不舒服的原因是毫无节制地吃美食。故选C项。
2． 【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Picking up a few magazines, I tried to read to get rid of my fear and pain, but I could not concentrate. (我拿起几本杂志，试图通过阅读来摆脱恐惧和痛苦，但我无法集中精神。)”可知，在见牙医之前，作者试着看一些杂志来转移对牙痛的注意力。故选B项。
3． 【答案】C
【解析】词句猜测题。划线词句前文“I grabbed the dentist’s hands more than once. At first, he was quite taken aback and eyed me suspiciously. (我不止一次抓住牙医的手。起初，他很吃惊，怀疑地看着我。)”说明在牙医要给作者拔牙时，作者抓住医生的手，这个动作影响作者手术，是危险的，结合划线词句“Then he warned me that he would have my hands tied if I were to repeat my antics. (然后他警告我说，如果我再重复我的antics，他会把我的手绑起来。)”可以推知，划线词汇antics应为“危险举止”的意思。故选C项。
4． 【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。通读全文，根据前文内容及最后一段中“I swore that this would be the first and the last time I stepped into a dental clinic. (我发誓这将是我第一次也是最后一次走进牙科诊所。)”可知，作者因为一次放纵自己吃甜食，导致牙疼并得去牙科诊所拔牙，作者决心吸取教训，不再犯同类错误。从而推知，作者得到的教训是“吃一堑，长一智”。故选D项。
Passage 2（2022·天津·二模）
My husband is more a kid at heart than I am, so he says we need to find souvenirs for the grandkids while on a trip to Savannah.
I can be a kid at heart, too, but I also can be a mathematician — and even cheap, ugly souvenirs add up quickly when you have 11 grandkids.
Children are of one mind on the subject — they like souvenirs and they want them. So we are digging through piles of (成堆的) cheap key fobs (钥匙链), plastic sun hats, chocolate treats that will melt in the heat, and ridiculous T-shirts, finding nothing.
We go with two hats for the boys but are still empty-handed for the nine girls. Then I spot small bracelets (手链) in a rainbow of colors.
“What about these? ” I ask the husband.
He turns one over a couple of times and says, “Nice.”
The bracelets are made of small beads (珠子) shaped like starfish and turtles. They all look like rock candy, which can be eaten and was a popular souvenir when we were kids. We buy nine and make a mental note: tell the girls not to eat them.
As the clerk rings up the bracelets, I remember a souvenir I had as a girl. We had gone to the east coast and could choose one thing in a shop to remember our trip by. My sister and I chose what we liked. Mine was a blue plastic soapbox with the lid (盖子) covered in silver glitter (小闪光物) and topped with a pink flamingo (火烈鸟). It was cheap and tacky (俗气的) and I believed it was the loveliest thing a girl could own. It was too beautiful to put soap inside, so it sat in a dresser drawer year after year, slowly aging, yellowing, the glitter fling off. But it is still a reminder of a family trip long ago.
The girls are married and have families of their own, and those souvenirs are still in the dresser drawers in their old bedrooms.
I have been won over to the idea that even cheap and tacky souvenirs may have worth and value. Tiny trinkets (小饰品) say I was thinking of you even though we were apart. That’s always a good investment (投资).
5．What did the author think about his husband, when he wanted to buy souvenirs?
A．He wanted to remember the trip. B．He missed their grandkids.
C．He wanted to share the joy. D．He was a little childish.
6．Why did the author say she was a mathematician?
A．Because she found it expensive to buy 11 souvenirs.
B．Because she was good at choosing souvenirs for kids.
C．Because she ever studied mathematics in university.
D．Because their family was not rich enough to buy souvenirs.
7．What souvenirs did they buy for the grandkids?
A．Some cheap and ordinary souvenirs. B．Some small bracelets made of beads.
C．Some rock candy which can be eate D．A blue plastic soapbox with a beautiful lid.
8．What did the souvenirs for the girls remind the author of?
A．A trip she ever had with her family.
B．A blue plastic soapbox bought by her mother.
C．A cheap but the loveliest souvenir she ever had.
D．A trip when she met her husband and fell in love.
9．What did the author think of the souvenir?
A．Even cheap and small souvenirs can be reminders of our family trip.
B．Children are all crazy about buying and collecting souvenirs.
C．Collecting souvenirs may bring in a big sum of money.
D．Buying souvenirs can help you be a kid forever.
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和丈夫给孙子孙女挑选纪念品时的感悟——廉价和俗气的纪念品也有价值。
5．细节理解题。根据第一段“My husband is more a kid at heart than I am, so he says we need to find souvenirs for the grandkids while on a trip to Savannah. (我丈夫的内心比我更像个孩子，所以他说我们需要在去萨凡纳旅行的时候给孙子孙女们买纪念品)”可知，当丈夫说要给孙子孙女们纪念品时，作者觉得他有点孩子气。故选D。
6．【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的“but I also can be a mathematician — and even cheap, ugly souvenirs add up quickly when you have 11 grandkids. (当你有11个孙子时，即使是廉价的、丑陋的纪念品（钱）也会积少成多)”推知，作者认为自己更像一个数学家是因为即使买11个廉价的纪念品加起来也很贵了。故选A。
7．【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段的“We go with two hats for the boys (我们给男孩买了两顶帽子)”和第七段“The bracelets are made of small beads (珠子) shaped like starfish and turtles.

8．【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“As the clerk rings up the bracelets, I remember a souvenir I had as a girl. We had gone to the east coast and could choose one thing in a shop to remember our trip by.

(我已经被说服了，即使是廉价和俗气的纪念品也可能有价值。一些小饰品表明，虽然我们分开了，我仍在想你。这总是一项不错的投资)”推知，作者认为即使便宜、小的纪念品也会让人想起和家人的旅行。故选A。
Passage 3（2022·上海·复旦附中模拟预测）
In 2004, Pen Hadow became the first person to trek (跋涉) to the North Pole alone, without being resupplied on the way. That meant swimming through unimaginably cold waters, and risking encounters with polar bears. Just eight months later, he made a similar trip to the South Pole. Now he is back in the Arctic again, preparing for an expedition (远征) he says is even more ambitious. Explorers are confident, driven individuals. They have to be. This time, however, more significance is attached. Pen and two colleagues will set out on a three-month, 1000-kilometre trek to the North Pole, taking detailed measurements of the thickness and density of the ice. Nobody has ever done this before, and he knows the results will be of vital significance to the scientific community. This will be the truest picture yet of what global warming is doing to the ice that covers the polar region.
Pen and his wife, Mary, live in the country with their two children. “It’s much harder to be away from them this time,” he admits. They were one and five when I last went, and I made a mistake in the way I said goodbye. I thought it would be a good idea to say to my son, “You’re the man of the house now, look after your mum and your sister.” He absolutely took it to heart, asking his mum how she was all the time, but the stress eventually became too much. While it was well intentioned, it was an unfair thing to do.
He is spending these last days before departure preparing his things. “Out on the ice, one is virtually unable to mend things or do anything that isn’t absolutely straightforward,” he says. With him will be Ann Daniels, one of the world’s leading polar explorers, and the photographer, Martin Hartley. They will be supported by a crew of six, flying in supplies. Being part of a team is actually more stressful to someone with his mentality, says Pen, and something else is on his mind too. “I’m going to be 47 on Thursday. I’ve done far less training than I’m comfortable with.” Why? “Organisational things always seem more urgent. So I’m almost fearful of what I’m going to ask of myself.”
Pen believes his mission reconnects exploration with the search for knowledge that drove previous generations into the unknown. “Making it to the North Pole was a personal ambition,’”he admits, “and of limited value to anyone beyond the polar adventuring community. This time, scientists will profit from the data, and we’re creating a platform in which to engage as many people as possible in what’s happening in the Arctic Ocean. This is important work, and nobody can do it but us,” he says. “Our skills, which are otherwise not that necessary, have become really relevant. Suddenly, we’re socially useful again.”
10．In the first paragraph, what do we learn about Pen Hadow’s opinion of the new expedition?
A．He feels certain that it will be stressful.
B．He is aware of the huge importance of its aims.
C．He thinks it may be harder than his previous journeys.
D．He is less than confident of the scientific work it involves.
11．What does “took it to heart” (in paragraph 2) mean?
A．He started to feel unwell. B．He memorised his father’s words.
C．He was afraid of the responsibility. D．He carried out his father’s words carefully.
12．What is worrying Pen about the new expedition?
A．Whether he will be mentally prepared
B．Whether he will still be fit enough to take part.
C．Whether the arrangements he has made will turn out well.
D．Whether the equipment will work properly in icy conditions.
13．When he compares the new expedition to his previous ones, Pen feels ________.
A．uncertain if it will collect information.
B．doubtful about its long-term usefulness
C．pleased that more people will benefit from it
D．relieved that the general public will be more supportive
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Pen Hadow即将进行的北极探险，这次探险极具意义，因为他将把探险与探索知识联系起来。
10．【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“This time, however, more significance is attached. Pen and two colleagues will set out on a three-month, 1000-kilometre trek to the North Pole, taking detailed measurements of the thickness and density of the ice. Nobody has ever done this before, and he knows the results will be of vital significance to the scientific community. (然而，这一次的意义更为重大。Pen Hadow和两名同事将开始为期三个月、1000公里的北极跋涉，对冰层的厚度和密度进行详细的测量。以前从来没有人这样做过，他知道这些结果将对科学界具有至关重要的意义。)”可推断，他深知这次探险意义更为重大。故选B。
11．【答案】D
【解析】词句猜测题。根据上文“I thought it would be a good idea to say to my son, “You’re the man of the house now, look after your mum and your sister.”(我认为对我儿子说:“你现在是家里的男人了，照顾你的妈妈和妹妹。”是个好主意)”可知，Pen Hadow让儿子照顾自己的妈妈和妹妹。再根据下文“asking his mum how she was all the time(一直问他妈妈感觉怎样)”可知，他的儿子认真地执行父亲的话。所以took it to heart为“他认真地执行他父亲的话。”之意。故选D。
12．【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段第五句开始“Being part of a team is actually more stressful to someone with his mentality, says Pen, and something else is on his mind too. ‘I’m going to be 47 on Thursday. I’ve done far less training than I’m comfortable with.’ Why? ‘Organisational things always seem more urgent. So I’m almost fearful of what I’m going to ask of myself.’(Pen说，作为团队的一员，对于那些心理状态良好的人来说，压力其实更大，而且他还在考虑其他事情。“到周四我就47岁了。我所做的训练远远少于我所能接受的。“为什么?“有组织的事情似乎总是更紧急。所以我几乎害怕我要问自己的问题。”)”可推断，他担心自己不能胜任此次探险。故选B。
13．【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“‘Making it to the North Pole was a personal ambition,’ he admits, ‘and of limited value to anyone beyond the polar adventuring community. This time, scientists will profit from the data, and we’re creating a platform in which to engage as many people as possible in what’s happening in the Arctic Ocean. This is important work, and nobody can do it but us,’ he says.(他承认：“成功到达北极是个人的雄心壮志，对极地探险团体以外的任何人来说都没有多大价值。”这一次，科学家们将从数据中获益，我们正在创建一个平台，让尽可能多的人参与到北冰洋发生的事情中来。这是一项重要的工作，除了我们没人能做。)”可知，他觉得这次探险将会使得更多的人从他们的工作中获益。故选C。
Passage 4（2022·北京通州·模拟预测）
My home is in Demonton near a river valley. It is a beautiful area that has been made into a park with meters of hiking trails (小路) along the river.
One day I discovered a trail I had never seen before. It was extremely steep and very slippery as it was covered with ice. I was alone at the time and even though I was terrified, I still wanted to go for a walk. Just this thought made my heart beat faster. I shook, not from the cold, although it was probably around -15℃, but from the fear. I knew I had to do it.
I moved forward slowly and put one foot on the trail, then the other. Thus I continued, one foot in front of the other I went very slowly down the trail, shaking with every step. I was sweating despite my cold. I had no idea how long it would take me to travel along the trail, but I didn’t care. I just wanted to conquer my fear.
At last, I succeeded! At least that’s how I felt. I nearly ran down the trail. Well, not exactly ran, but it felt like that compare with my extremely slow speed in the beginning.
Maybe you don’t think this is much of a story, but I just want to tell you that we never know what’s around the corner. If you compare this story to life, you’ll see that we have no idea where life is going to take us, or how many easy or difficult trails there are to choose from until we make a choice! The point is: we have the freedom to choose!

15．What do we know about the author?
A．He liked taking adventures. B．He covered the trail with fear.
C．He ran quickly along the trail. D．He went down the trail with his friend.
16．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．it was very warm that day
B．the trail was not far from the river
C．the trail was far from the author’s home
D．the author had walked along the trail before
17．By talking about his experience, the author mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A．Rome was not built in a day
B．things may not seem so dangerous in the end
C．it’s worth challenging our fears and pushing on
D．we don’t have the freedom to do anything we like

【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的倒数第二句“I shook, not from the cold, although it was probably around -15°C, but from the fear.”（我颤抖着，是因为害怕，而不是因为冷，尽管当时可能零下15度左右。）可知，当作者产生要走这条小路的想法时就已经害怕得发抖了。第三段的前三句“I moved forward slowly and put one foot on the trail, then the other. Thus I continued, one foot in front of the other I went very slowly down the trail, shaking with every step. I was sweating despite my cold.”（我慢慢地往前挪，先一只脚踩在小路上，然后另一只脚再踩在上面。于是我继续往前走，双脚前后交替着慢慢地沿着小路走下去，每走一步都会发抖。尽管我觉得冷，但我还是出汗了。）描述的是作者走这条小路的动作，从慢慢地往前挪，每走一步都会发抖等细节可以看出作者是带着恐惧走这条小路的。故选B项。

Passage 5（2022·山东·德州市教育科学研究院三模）
One year before, at age 18, Leszyeski had aged out of foster care(寄养中心), having been in the system since she was four when her single mother was no longer able to care for her. Leszyeski was now enrolled in college hoping to become a doctor. And the only furniture she had in her apartment was an air mattress with a hole in it.
Then she learned about an organization Chairity. The organization provides furniture and household goods for young adults who have left foster care. Leszyeski reached out to Charity, a nonprofit formed by 23-year-old Maria Paparella.
Paparella first became aware of foster care in elementary school when her parents were considering adopting a child. The plan didn't work out, but Paparella often found herself thinking about that child. “I'm really close with my family, and I just couldn't imagine being completely on my own at 18,” she says.
At 16, Paparella visited Summit County Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to understand what aging out looked like. One of her questions was “What's not being met for these young people?” Near the top of the list was furniture. “That struck home,” says Paparella. The idea of “moving into an apartment without a bed to sleep on or a sofa to sit on” pulled at her heartstrings.
Paparella contacted her parents' friends, asking if they had spare furniture to donate. A local furniture store offered free ware-house space and its delivery truck. Watching the recipients' faces when they received a bed, a couch—whatever—was amazing. Paparella remembers delivering a gold lamp to a woman and watching her polish it lovingly, getting rid of dirt and fingerprints.
Today, Chairity has given furniture to nearly 200 young adults in homes across six Ohio counties. Paparella is convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and confidence. Leszyeski agrees.“It makes me feel like I'm not different from other people. My whole life, I've felt abnormal,”she says,“Now, I feel normal.”
18．Which can best describe Leszyeski's life after leaving foster care?
A．Tough but hopeful. B．Poor and aimless.
C．Wealthy but boring. D．Independent and carefree.
19．Why did Paparella found Chairity?
A．To get some financial benefits from it. B．To help those aging out of foster care.
C．To aid the needy couple adopt a child. D．To ask people to donate some couches.
20．When was Paparella most touched at the age of 16?
A．Living without parents. B．Moving into a new house.
C．Getting free truck delivery. D．Visiting a foster care center.
21．What does Leszyeski think of Chairity?
A．It changes young adults' whole life. B．It brings confidence to the recipients.
C．It has helped lots of homeless people. D．It makes people different from others.
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述的是女孩 Leszyeski收到来自由一名23岁女孩Maria Paparella创建的慈善组织Chairity帮助的故事。通过该非营利性机构通过帮助一些生活在寄养中心的孩子们，让他们找到了人生的希望和自信。
18．【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“And the only furniture she had in her apartment was an air mattress with a hole in it.”(她公寓里唯一的家具就是一个有洞的充气床垫。)可知，家里唯一的家具也是破损的，可知生活过的尤其艰难。同时根据后文的“Then she learned about an organization Charity. The organization provides furniture and household goods for young adults who have left foster care. ”(然后她了解到一个组织Charity。该组织为离开寄养家庭的年轻人提供家具和家庭用品。)可知，尽管她生活困苦，但是得知有一个慈善组织能为他们这样的年轻人提供家具和家庭用品，所以是充满希望的。故选A。
19．【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“The organization provides furniture and household goods for young adults who have left foster care. ”(该组织为离开寄养家庭的年轻人提供家具和家庭用品。)可知，该组织是是帮助那些离开寄养家庭的成年人。故选B。
20．【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中“At 16, Paparella visited Summit County Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to understand what aging out looked like”(16岁时，帕帕雷拉带着一系列问题来到顶峰县儿童服务中心，试图了解衰老是什么样子的)，以及“pulled at her heartstrings.”(牵动着她的心弦)可知，16岁时最让她感动的是：参观寄养中心。故选D。
21．【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Paparella is convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and confidence. Leszyeski agrees.”(帕帕雷拉相信，这些捐赠给了接受者希望和信心。Leszyeski表示同意。)以及“It makes me feel like I'm not different from other people. My whole life, I've felt abnormal, Now, I feel normal.”(这让我觉得我和其他人没有什么不同。我之前觉得不正常的生活，现在已经感觉正常了。)可知， Leszyeski 认为这个组织给她带来了信心和希望。故选B。
Passage 6（2022·江苏省泰州市教育局模拟预测）
Mitchel Wu creates interesting stories using toy photography, a relatively new art form. He’s taken photos for an impressive list of clients, including Disney, Marvel, Hot Wheels, and Hasbro. There’s no limit to creativity, and Mitchel proves it through his unique work, providing a one-of-a-kind experience for clients worldwide.
While toy photography dates back to the 1800s, it didn’t gain popularity until the 1970s. Around this time, a man by the name of David Levinthal became the father of miniature（微型画）photography.
Over time, it evolved into a global phenomenon mostly involving action figures and pop culture imagery. It’s a diverse art form containing many themes and story ideas. Many artists draw inspiration from popular sources such as Disney movies, Star Wars, and Pokemon characters. With toy photography, the viewers, completely immersed in the story, feel like they’re actually there, in a different land.
“For me, toy photography is really all about storytelling,” Mitchel says. “Storytelling is what makes an image impactful, so my goal is to have my image just stop you in your tracks and make you think ‘Wow, what’s going on here?’”
Mitchel was a wedding photographer in the beginning. In 2015, he realized that he needed to find something else. Right around the same time, his nephew who photographed toys as a hobby said, “Uncle Mitch, why don’t you bring your camera and shoot some toys?”
Once he tried it out, he got hooked immediately. His nephew lent him a couple of Stormtrooper action figures, and from the very first click of the shutter（快门）, he found it was something incredible.
What began as a hobby quickly became a new-found career for Mitchel. It’s yet another story that motivates us to pursue our dreams because you never know where they’ll take you.
It seems the only limits are the ones you create for yourself. Mitchel tries to keep breaking those limits and learn new techniques in his exciting career path. His story shows that you can create your path in life by following your heart and using your imagination.
22．Which of the following is true according to the first three paragraphs?
A．David Levinthal founded toy photography.
B．Toy photography is by all means a new art form.
C．Mitchel helps promote toy photography around the world.
D．Toy photography was widely recognized more than 200 years ago.
23．What does the underlined word “immersed” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Involved. B．Applied. C．Located. D．Stuck.
24．What does toy photography mean to Mitchel?
A．It brings him a great fortune.
B．It only serves to limit his creativity.
C．It is a way of telling his own stories.
D．It enables him to follow his new passion.
25．What message does Mitchel’s story convey?
A．Great hopes make great men.
B．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C．The longest journey begins with the first step.
D．Behind one minute on stage is ten years of practice.

23．【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。根据文章第三段最后一句话“feel like they’re actually there, in a different land.（感觉他们真的在那里，在另一个地方。）”可知，通过玩具摄影使得观众参与到摄影中，以达到身临其境的感受。可推知此处指这个玩具展，可以使观众们完全有身临其境的感觉，因而画线词“immersed”意为“沉浸、使陷入”。A. Involved参与，关系密切；B. Applied应用的；C. Located位于；D. Stuck困住。be involved in为固定短语，意为“参与，牵涉进”，与画线词同义，表示参与到摄影的体验中。故选A项。
24．【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段第一句话“What began as a hobby quickly became a new-found career for Mitchel.（最初作为一种爱好的东西很快成为Mitchel新发现的职业。）”可知，Mitchel把自己的爱好变成职业，能够继续追随。D项“它使他能够追随他的新激情。”故选D项。
25．【答案】B

Passage 7 （2022·福建省福州第一中学三模）
It was a cold Saturday night in February. Some 200 New Yorkers carefully made their way to the reservoir (水库) in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the magical snowy owl, who had touched down in the park the week before in what was reported as the first visit there by the species in more than 130 years.
Except for a few excited screams from children, people were quiet—patiently awaiting the owl’s arrival at the reservoir’s north gatehouse. The snowy owl did not disappoint. She flew down from the darkness and surveyed the water and the people holding phones and cameras before taking off into the night to the applause of her many fans. They simply wanted to see this lovely creature whose improbable appearance seemed to signify hope after the lockdown
New Yorkers who had long taken Central Park for granted felt a renewed love for this rectangle of green in the heart of the big city and, of course, its amazing wildlife. That the park is a beautiful and essential refuge is something that humans have only come to fully appreciate during these recent times of uncertainty.
Central Park was originally planned and constructed during another difficult time in the nation’s history—in the years before and during the American Civil War. Unlike many European parks that had originally been built for the aristocracy (贵族), Central Park was designed as a public space. In its chief architect Frederick Law Olmsted’s words, the poor and rich alike could “easily go there after their day’s work is done” and “stroll for an hour, seeing, hearing, and feeling nothing of the noise of the streets.”
As spring turns into summer, we see people sitting on the grass or benches—catching some sun, having family picnics, or tapping away on their laptops and iPads. Just being in proximity to other people in Central Park gave us a sense of community—the sense that we would somehow persevere.
26．What did people do in Central Park on that Saturday night?
A．They cheered for each other B．They paid their first visit
C．They came for a rare sight D．They appreciated a water event
27．What does the author mainly intend to do in Paragraph 4?
A．Give some examples. B．Make a comparison
C．Introduce a new opinion. D．Add background information
28．What do the underlined words “in proximity to” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．close to B．free from
C．at a distance from               D in comparison with
29．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Find Refuge in Central Park
B．Take Your Breath by Snow Owl
C．Trace Central Park to difficult times
D．Meet an improbable “visitor” in person
【导语】文章是记叙文。开篇以200名纽约人在水库观赏神奇雪鸮为开头，引出文章的主题中央公园。揭示了长期以来，纽约人一直把中央公园视为城市的中心，更是神奇野生动物的家园。同时交代了中央公园建设的历史背景，不论是战争年代，还是和平年代，中央公园已然成为了纽约人的归属感的代表和象征。
26．【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Some 200 New Yorkers carefully made their way to the reservoir (水库) in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the magical snowy owl.”(200名纽约人小心翼翼地来到水库，希望能一睹这只神奇的雪鸮的模样。)以及“as the first visit there by the species in more than 130 years.”(该物种130多年来首次来到这里。)可知，人们在周六的晚上来到中心公园主要了是观看一只130多年来首次来到这里雪鸮。故选C。
27．【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Central Park was originally planned and constructed during another difficult time in the nation’s history—in the years before and during the American Civil War.”(中央公园最初是在美国历史上的另一个艰难时期——美国内战前和内战期间——规划和建造的。)可知，第四段交代了中央公园建设的特殊历史时期，为文章讲述中央公园交代了历史背景。故选D。
28．【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。根据第五段中“gave us a sense of community—the sense that we would somehow persevere.”(给了我们一种归属的感觉——一种我们会以某种方式坚持下去的感觉。)可知，句中的community意为“归属感”，只有人们之间近距离接触的时候才会有归属感，A选项意为“接近”，符合题意。故选A。
29．【答案】A
【解析】主旨大意题。根据全文可知，揭示了长期以来，纽约人一直把中央公园视为城市的中心，更是神奇野生动物的家园。同时交代了中央公园建设的历史背景，不论是战争年代，还是和平年代，中央公园已然成为了纽约人的归属感的代表和象征。以及根据最后一段中“Just being in proximity to other people in Central Park gave us a sense of community—the sense that we would somehow persevere.”(在中央公园和其他人近距离接触给了我们一种归属的感觉——一种我们会以某种方式坚持下去的感觉。)可知，人们在中央公园中能够找到人们坚持下去的归属感。表明中央公园为纽约人提供了精神慰藉。与A选项“在中央公园找寻慰藉”符合题意。故选A。
Passage 8（2022·河北唐山·三模）
From the age of 6, Samirah Horton was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates for the things that made her different — her size and her sharp voice. Rather than giving up, Horton decided to pick up a microphone and make sure other children knew they weren’t alone. “I didn’t want other kids to go through that experience,” says Horton, “especially at a very young age.” Now, alongside attending eighth grade classes, she’s also building an anti-bullying platform to reach students across the country.
For as long as Horton remembers, she's felt a special connection to music. She remembers her mother always having the radio on, and her father teaching her how to deejay (主持) . Music gives her unlimited power to do the duty. “It’s music that fuels my mission, allowing me to spread this important message,”she says. Now as the Kid DJ for her hometown team, you can hear anything from the hip-hop classics to songs of her own, including the anti-bullying song “No You Won’t Bully Me”.
Her message has reached beyond the DJ set. At 8. Horton turned one of her songs into a 26-page picture book, which has reached thousands of people across America. In the book, she references the over 160,000 students who miss school daily for fear of being bullied.
Horton isn’t sure exactly what the future holds, but for now, she’s positive about leading her school’s student government. “I don’t know exactly what I’ll be doing, but I know I’ll be making a positive influence on the world,” she says. She’s already on her way, but her biggest achievement in her own eyes is persuading others not to doubt themselves along the way. “Don’t care what anybody tells you,” she says. “You are never too young to make a change.”
30．Why was Horton bullied?
A．Because of her age. B．Because of her weight.
C．Because of her grades. D．Because of her hobby.
31．What does the underlined word “mission” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Task. B．Anger. C．Skill. D．Curiosity.
32．What can we learn from Horton’s story?
A．Fear invites danger. B．No voice is too small.
C．Success is peace of mind. D．Imperfections are beauty.
33．What might be the best title for the passage?
A．A Picture-Book Writer
B．A Hip-Hop Music Lover
C．An Environmental Activist
D．An Anti-Bullying Advocate

31．【答案】A
【解析】词句猜测题。根据第二段“Music gives her unlimited power to do the duty. (音乐给了她无限的力量去履行职责。)”可知是音乐给了她力量去履行职责，完成任务，所以她所说的话表述的是“音乐推动了她的使命，她的责任”，即反对欺凌，结合选项可知mission意识是“任务，职责”，故选A。
32．【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。通读全文可知，Horton是一个在校被欺凌的女同学，她没有因为被欺凌而让生活暗淡，反而她还建立了一个反欺凌平台，覆盖全国各地的学生，帮助和她一样被欺凌的同学，结合最后一段“She’s already on her way, but her biggest achievement in her own eyes is persuading others not to doubt themselves along the way. “Don’t care what anybody tells you,”she says. “You are never too young to make a change.” (她已经在路上了，但在她自己看来，她最大的成就是说服别人在路上不要怀疑自己。她说:“不要在意别人对你说什么。“你永远不会因为太年轻而不能做出改变。”)”可知，Horton认为在做出改变的过程中不需要在意别人的想法，也不要因为自己的力量微小而觉得无法做出改变，所以从Horton的故事我们可以知道：没有声音是微不足道的，要勇敢发声。故选B。
33．【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。读全文可知，文章讲述的是一个在校被欺凌的女同学Horton，她没有因为被欺凌而让生活暗淡，结合第二段“Now, alongside attending eighth grade classes, she's also building an anti-bullying platform to reach students across the country.(现在，除了参加八年级的课程，她还建立了一个反欺凌平台，覆盖全国各地的学生。)”可知她还建立了一个反欺凌平台，帮助和她一样被欺凌的同学，结合选项可知，D项“一个反欺凌倡导者”符合本文中心主旨，适合作为本文的标题。故选D。
Passage 9（2022·福建厦门·模拟预测）
“You need a guide,” says Mike May, 68, who was blinded at the age of 3. May started skiing at 27, on a beginner track, holding onto a guide’s poles — in what he calls “horse and buggy style.” Within days, he was unattached and following his guide’s voice down the hill. “It was extremely liberating.” says May, who went on to win multiple medals in the world competitions now known as the Paralympics, and hit 65 miles per hour to set the world record for speed skiing by a completely blind skier.
May suggests using only guides who lead rather than follow you. You want a skilled skier with a loud voice. Once on the track, keep 4 to 15 feet between you and your guide. A good guide will use rhythm to indicate spatial directions; a long turn might sound like “Tuuuuurn left. Gooo, gooo.” Listen for other noises too: A blip (哔哔声) in you guide’s voice might mean a bump ahead; if their skis start scraping (刮擦), prepare for ice; sudden quiet indicates powder.
Always wear a brightly colored vest that identifies you as a blind skier clearly. Still, don’t assume others will take in its meaning; May thinks that fewer than 50 percent do. The biggest barrier for blind skiers is often transportation to the mountain. In college, May sometimes hitchhiked (搭便车) to the Sierra Nevads, hours away. He doesn’t recommend it. “Hitch-hiking with a seeing-eye dog and your ski equipment is not a simple task,” he says.
Ski lifts can be tricky, but you can always ask the operator to slow the lift down if you feel nervous. At the top of the run, ask your guide to give you a play-by-play so you know what’s coming. “I always like to take the same run over and over again,” May says. “That way I get a mental picture and can start to relax and really open up to the experience.”
34．What do we know about Mike May from paragraph 1?
A．He trained alone. B．He was born blind.
C．He fell in love with horse riding. D．He broke world record.
35．What kind of sound might indicate an icy track?
A．The sound of sudden silence. B．The sound of scraping.
C．A blip in the guide’s voice. D．A dragging sound like “gooo”.
36．What troubles blind skiers most according to May?
A．The colorful dressing.
B．The ignorance of others.
C．The identification of blind skiers.
D．The transportation to the skiing spot.
37．What can we learn from May’s story?
A．Out of sight, out of mind.
B．Storms make trees take deeper roots.
C．An honest man’s word is as good as his bond.
D．From the father comes honour, from the mother, comfort.

37．【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中的““You need a guide,” says   Mike May, 68, who was blinded at the age of 3.(“你需要一个向导，”68岁的Mike May说，他在3岁时就失明了)”及“‘It was extremely liberating.’ says May, who went on to win multiple medals in the world competitions now known as the Paralympics, and hit 65 miles per hour to set the world record for speed skiing by a completely blind skier.(“这是一种极大的解放。”May说，他后来在现在被称为残奥会的世界比赛中赢得了多枚奖牌，并以每小时65英里的速度创造了一个完全失明的滑雪者的速度滑雪世界纪录)”可知，Mike May的故事告诉人们，即使生活的苦难让人饱受折磨，但也能磨练人的意志，反而使之更加勇敢坚韧。由此可知，B“Storms make trees take deeper roots.(风暴使树木深深扎根)”贴合主旨，正是Mike May的故事想要告诉读者的。故选B项。
