（2022春·江苏徐州·高二统考期末）Yvonne and I had a consulting business. Yvonne used to be CEO of a London insurance company and I was on the board of a branding agency, so we had decided to join forces and build something together. The company, Dutch Engels, did very well quickly and we were running around like headless chickens. There was lots of travel — Singapore, the EU, and we’d won a project where the client wanted us to spend six months in the US. We’d be standing on the platform getting a tube at seven in the morning, thinking, “Why are we juggling all this? There must be a better way to live.”
In April 2018, we were in Edinburgh for work, rushing off our feet, when someone at the meeting said that we looked like we needed a break. She suggested we go to one of the islands for a couple of days. It wasn’t a bad idea. Yvonne looked on Google Earth and spotted this tiny island, less than eight miles long and two miles wide. It looked like it was in the tropics — turquoise blue water and golden sand beaches. We headed there.
The ferry journey from Oban was splendid — you’ve got the mountains, the ocean, the yachts. It was a world we didn’t even know existed. Everything conspired (共同促成) to make us fall in love with the place. Both of us were feeling this gut instinct (直觉) which said, “This feels like home. Make this our home.” The great thing about having your own business is that you can make those decisions. That same day, instead of looking for a place to spend a holiday, we started looking for a place to live. The back windows looked on to the sea and the hills with nothing blocking the view. We went back to London and sold our apartment. By October, we’d moved here permanently.
We ended up raising sheep there and they’re not cheap. We went ahead and launched a woolly hat business — WELAN. We sell online and in the shop on Tiree harbour. Yvonne does the spinning and the knitting. I wash the wool, separate the fibres — all the dirty jobs. We still run the consultancy.
1．What do Yvonne and I mean by “Why are we juggling all this”?
A．They made a mess in the business. B．They experienced a sense of failure.
C．They were tired of the present life. D．They had to travel here and there.
2．Why did Yvonne and I go to an island?
A．To go on business. B．To have a break.
C．To attend a meeting. D．To inspect the beaches.
3．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．Their love for the island. B．Their exploration around the island.
C．Their decision on the move. D．Their feelings during the journey.
4．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Splendid Journey, Peaceful Mood
B．Beautiful Harbors, Dream Home
C．Joint Forces, Hard Work
D．Tiny island, Better Life
（2022春·江苏宿迁·高二统考期末）Sharon Estill Taylor has no firsthand memories of her father. The World War II fighter pilot was shot down over Germany in April 1945, when Taylor was just three weeks old. When Taylor was young, her grandmother often shared stories about their fallen hero. “Nana, it’s OK,” Taylor assured her, “I’m going to find him and bring him home.”
Grandmother gave Taylor a silver box containing some 450 handwritten letters between her parents, spanning from their high school to the year 1945. Also included were six months’ worth of unopened letters. Taylor learned that on April 13, 1945, Estill had taken off to attack a railway station and destroy Nazi supply lines. She found a reference to a possible crash site near the town of Elsnig in eastern Germany.
With the collapse of the Berlin Wall, it became possible for Taylor to visit the potential crash site. She connected with German military historian Hans-Guenther Ploes, who agreed to help her try to find and identify any aircraft and human remains. In 2005, a team, accompanied by Ploes and Taylor, led a three-week unearthing. From the moment she set foot on the site, Taylor could feel that her dad was there. DNA analysis confirmed that the remains were his. On a sunny day, Taylor and her family buried her father’s remains at Arlington National Cemetery. Beyond fulfilling her promise to her grandmother, Taylor says her mission has been to get closer to her father and his legacy.
She has also come to realize that there’s an entire population of Americans who’ve lost parents and loved ones in military conflicts overseas and wish they knew more. Taylor shares her story widely, raising awareness of soldiers who never return from war and the significance of recovery efforts. An estimated 81,000 American service members’ bodies remain unaccounted for from past conflicts, but fortunately there are constant efforts to locate the fallen and bring relief to their families.
Taylor will never know exactly what her father’s final moments were like but she feels, in a way, that father has finally come home.
5．What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
A．Taylor’s father delivered supplies in the war.
B．Taylor got along well with her father as a kid.
C．The battle Taylor’s father attended was documented.
D．Taylor’s grandmother got to know all about the letters.
6．What probably discouraged Taylor from seeking her father at first?
A．No one was willing to assist her. B．Germany wasn’t reunited at that time.
C．There weren’t any clues about the battle. D．Science and technology were not advanced
7．Why does Taylor want others to know her story?
A．To help make her grandmother’s wish come true.
B．To let the readers know more about World War II.
C．To pay her respect to fallen heroes like her father.
D．To show the possibility of regaining heroes’ remains.
8．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Cherish Parents’ Love B．Let Heroes Return Home
C．Never Forget the History D．Meet Grandmother’s Wish
（2022春·江苏南通·高二统考期末）As a geothermal(地热) scientist, I know that boiling rivers exist-but they are always near volcanoes. You need a lot of heat to make that much water boil. We were working in the volcanic gap, a 950-mile-long area that covers most of Peru, where there haven’t been volcanic eruptions for the past two million years.
Yet, we’d found the Shanaya, a name originated from “heating thing”. My measurements averaged 190°F-195°F. The locals think it’s so hot because of the Yacumama, or “water mother”—a spirit who gives birth to waters—represented by a snake-head-shaped rock at the origin of the heated water.
I had to cut my way through the bush at the side of the river to take temperature readings. All the while, right next to me was this very hot, fast-flowing body of water. A friend at the nearest village had told me, “Use your feet like eyes.” You can’t see heat, but you can feel it when you step near it. I wore sandals(凉鞋).
I was at a part of the river measuring 210F, standing on a rock the size of a sheet or paper, when the rain fell. It was like a curtain rising. The temperature difference between the rain and the river caused a whiteout(临时性失明). I couldn’t see, but I whistled to let my partner know I was OK.
At 130°F, flesh cooks, and the water around me was nearing twice that. My eyes would have cooked in less than a minute, and I couldn’t have seen how to get out. I saw rats fall in, their eyes turning milky white. I kept whistling.
After 15 minutes the rain stopped and the steam cleared. A heavy rain in most situations would have been nothing important. Here, for a matter of minutes, it thinned the line between researching and being boiled alive.
9．What do the locals think causes the water so hot?
A．The high temperature. B．An imaginary creature.
C．The volcanic eruptions. D．The geological conditions.
10．Why did the author cut his way through the bush beside the river?
A．To get some related data.
B．To look into wildlife around the river.
C．To know about the quality of the water.
D．To appreciate the beautiful scenery there.
11．For what reason did the author whistle when it rained?
A．He was in trouble. B．He could stand on a rock.
C．Nothing was wrong with him. D．He liked the natural phenomenon.
12．What is the best title for the article?
A．A Hard Rain B．Milky White Eyes
C．Boiling River D．Water near Volcanoes
（2022春·江苏苏州·高二常熟中学校考期末）Leaving our hostel in the centre of Phnom Penh, we climb inside our small Tuk Tuk cabin attached to the back of Kiwi’s motorbike; a bottle of water in one hand and a surgeon-style mask in the other we set off on our 45-minute commute. It is a familiar start to the day for me and two other volunteers. We are setting out to work in an orphanage just outside Cambodia’s capital city.
The morning rush hour in Phnom Penh is crowded and chaotic. Kiwi directs our path between the trucks, 4×4 Lexus’ and countless motorbikes, which often carry entire families. We reach the dusty highway, masks and sunshades firmly in place to protect our eyes and lungs. A mixture of concrete buildings and huts exist along the side of the road among a sea of rubbish. The residents often smile and wave as we pass by.
We turn onto a farm track. The last part of our journey is a roller coaster, jumping out of potholes (路面坑洼) and turning to avoid falling off the sinking road. We pass huts on stilts (木桩), skinny cows and farm yards where children jump and scream upon seeing us. The stream along the side of the road is almost bone dry and vegetation is rare across the fields.
Finally we arrive at our destination: the oasis (令人快慰的地方) is Samrong Farm. By the gates, a group of 10-year-old children compete in the area of marbles. We’re greeted by the shouts of “Cha, cha(short for ‘teacher’)!” from several other kids gathering round. As we climb out of our vehicle, the sun is already hot and the oasis is as dry as the fields surrounding it. In such conditions you would imagine life to be hard, but you wouldn’t know it to see the warm smiles and hear the laughter of the residents at Samrong Orphanage.
Compared to children in the Western World they have little and yet they give so much in generosity of spirit and enthusiasm for every day. Despite the journey, it is so good to arrive at work in the morning.
13．Where was the author going?
A．To Samrong Orphanage. B．To the oasis of Samrong.
C．To the capital of Cambodia. D．To the centre of Phnom Penh.
14．What word can be used to describe Kiwi?
A．Disciplined. B．Confident. C．Devoted. D．Ambitious.
15．What did they see along the farm track?
A．Dry bones. B．Shy children.
C．Almost bare fields. D．A roller coaster beside it.
16．What can we learn from the story?
A．Enthusiasm of the children. B．Comfort of riding a motorbike.
C．Beauty of working in the morning. D．Pleasure of being in a different culture.
（2022春·江苏南京·高二南京市中华中学校考期末）When I win at my favourite games, my opponents tend to say: ‘OH, you’re so competitive!’ But when I lose, they smile good-naturedly and say: ‘Bad luck! Good game!’
This suggests that accurate sporting expressions should go something like this:
I am sporty.
You are competitive.
They can’t bear to lose.
Or:
I gave it a go.
You did your best.
He tried desperately hard.
I’m not saying I don’t have a competitive personality. We all do. On walks, I like to be out in front. In traffic jams, I find myself focusing on cars in other lanes, and fret if they edge ahead of me. I tense up while waiting for trains, determined to be first aboard. The other day, I was one of the first to board a train, grabbing a perfect spot in first class. Yes, I had won! Just halfway, I went to get a free drink for a first-class seat from the buffet. But I had left my ticket on my table. I worked out that, if I moved very swiftly, I could nip (快走) through two carriages, and nip back without anyone taking my place at the front of the queue.
So I rushed back, picking up my ticket, and turned back. I was at the beginning of the second carriage, when, to my horror, I noticed, another figure, roughly my size, shooting towards the buffet from the other direction.
Desperate to arrive before he did, I started walking faster. But at exactly the same moment, he started walking faster, too. Trying to retain my dignity, I broke into a running. Whatever happened, I was determined to win! But, annoyingly, at the same time as I sped up, so did he. The race was on.
Finally, in my rush, I knocked into a suitcase and stumbled slightly. Still with my eyes on my challenger, I noticed that-strange but true-exactly the same thing had happened to him.
It was only as we both lifted ourselves up in exactly the same way that I realised that, throughout the race, I had been looking at a reflection of myself in the sliding door!
My competitor for first place in the buffet queue was...me.
17．Which sporting expression can replace “Bad luck! Good game!” in paragraph 1?
A．I gave it a go. B．You did your best.
C．You are competitive. D．He tried desperately hard.
18．What does the underlined word “fret” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Get anxious. B．Become relaxed. C．Feel disappointed. D．Remain excited.
19．What can we learn about the author?
A．He never fails to beat anyone in his life.
B．He has a gift for games and competitions.
C．He is sporty but often aggressive to others.
D．He is highly competitive and desperate to win.
20．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Sad competitor? I can surely beat myself
B．Bad loser? No, but I can be a first-class fool
C．Competitiveness works? Not in my case
D．More haste? It will only result in less speed
（2022春·江苏苏州·高二苏州中学校考期末）Whether it be a person, an animal, or even an insect, a mother’s instincts (本能) are never wrong. This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cat’s quick thinking may have just saved her babies.
In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital bolding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens.
The mother cat was concerned for her young because they weren’t able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets (兽医) and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited.” Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.
When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. Without the mother cat’s help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood.
As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mother’s love and protection knows no bounds. Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.
21．Why did the mother cat show up in the hospital?
A．To beg for food. B．To get her babies treated.
C．To express thanks. D．To give birth to her babies.
22．How did the doctors help the baby cat?
A．They built them a home. B．They adopted all of them.
C．They operated on them immediately. D．They gave them right medicine.
23．What makes newly-born cats dependent on their mothers?
A．Their physical state. B．Their eating habit.
C．Their appearance. D．Their behavior.
24．What can we learn from the story?
A．cat has nine lives. B．One good turn deserves another.
C．Love makes a difference. D．God helps those who help themselves.
（2022春·江苏镇江·高二江苏省镇江第一中学校联考期末）Growing up in Venezuela, there was never really much cause to learn English.
For five years, I spent two hours a week completely involved in understanding “to be”, numbers, colors, and the differences between saying “good evening” and “good night”.
I thought two hours a week was enough time to invest in learning a foreign language. I would always get top marks and teachers would regularly praise me.
Even as an adult, I still thought I spoke the language, just by understanding English menus or translating some common phrases.
Yep, that used to be me, walking like a queen among everyday, Spanish speakers.
“Bring it on, life.” I said.
“I can deal with whatever you’ve got, I’m a rock star.” But when I moved to Canada, life hit me so hard that it knocked me down. Years later, I am still recovering.
Living in a new land, with different people, new rules, new weather, a new culture and language, I was no longer a queen.
Did I speak English? No, not at all. So, I went back to school, thinking that it was a challenge I would conquer in record time. But English was more like a wall in my path.
Even after getting a job, it took all my courage to stop myself from hiding in the washroom during my lunch break, crying, completely overwhelmed (不知所措的) and scared.
Learning English, speaking, listening—it hurt me. Not the language. Not the unkind people. It hurt because I wasn’t good, despite my efforts.
Now, after almost seven years in Canada, I’ve decided not to say sorry for my accent, grammar mistakes, or pronunciation. I’m going to run after my dreams and enjoy a beautiful, rich and fascinating language.
Don’t get me wrong. My brain still screams “Give me a break!” from time to time, but that’s completely natural.
I know it’s going to take a while, but at least now I accept the person I am—not the perfect person I thought I was.
25．What do we learn about leaning English in Venezuela ?
A．Everyone put much time in it. B．It didn’t need much effort.
C．Its standard was very high in high school. D．It brought advantages to students.
26．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 show about the author?
A．She was proud of her level of foreign languages.
B．She felt confident enough to face any challenge.
C．She was brave in competitions.
D．She looked down on others.
27．What happened right after the author moved to Canada?
A．She adjusted to the new environment quickly.
B．She regretted not working hard in English.
C．She quickly put her language talent to use.
D．She expected to improve her English easily.
28．What can we inferred from the last three paragraphs?
A．The author has a realistic understanding of herself.
B．The author has conquered English eventually.
C．The author now can pass as a native speaker.
D．The author is frustrated with her English.
（2022春·江苏宿迁·高二统考期末）As the fifth of seven children, I went to the same public school as my three elder sisters and brother. Every year, my mother went to the same ceremony and had parent-child interviews with teachers. And every child participated in an old school tradition — the annual plant sale held in early May, just timely for Mother’s Day. What was different was the child.
Third grade was the first time I was allowed to join in the plant sale. Originally, I wanted to surprise my mother. For lack of enough money, I went to my eldest sister and shared my thought, after which she supported me financially. When arriving at the plant sale, I carefully made my selection, inspecting each plant for the best geranium (天竺葵) and taking it home in secret. When Mother’s Day arrived, I remember how proud and delighted my mother was to receive the special gift.
The year I was fifteen, my younger sister reached third grade. In early May, she came to me full of wonder and secrecy and told me that a plant sale was to be held at school. As my elder sister did for me, I gave her some money and off she went. She arrived home full of nervous excitement, the geranium hidden in a paper bag under her sweater. “I looked at every plant,” she explained, “and I know I got the best one!”
When she gave my mother the geranium, they were both bursting with pride and delight. My mother also noticed me and gave me a soft, secret smile. With a tug at my heart, I smiled back. I had been wondering how my mother could pretend to be surprised at this gift from her sixth child, but as I watched her eyes light up with delight as she was presented with that most precious gift, I knew she was not pretending.
29．What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．Our siblings were from different schools.
B．Mother repeatedly went for similar interviews.
C．The annual plant sale was intended for recreation.
D．The old school tradition was held every other year.
30．Why did my mother give me a soft, secret smile?
A．Because she didn’t like the gift at all.
B．Because she was pretending to be happy.
C．Because she knew I gave money to my sister.
D．Because she didn’t want me to let out the secret.
31．Which of the following best describes the author?
A．Reliable. B．Considerate.
C．Honest D．Frank.
32．What’s the suitable title for this passage?
A．Secret smile B．Mother’s Day
C．Geranium of love D．Annual plant sale
（2022春·江苏·高二江苏省天一中学校联考期末）Tired of underpaid jobs and inconvenient hours, three entrepreneurial (富于企业家精神的) McLean teens decided to start their own company.
Their new company, TeenServ, aims to solve teenage unemployment with a platform that matches students and community members who need short-term assistance with various tasks. Through TeenServ, residents sign up to post jobs they need done. Teens signed up to work can choose to accept a job depending on their schedules and work preferences. Website users can pick up shifts wherever and whenever they want, making it convenient for hectic schedules.
A year ago, Jack Lannin, Quin Frew and Ben Jeannot worked as lifeguards at a local pool. Lannin told Tysons Reporter that they were upset when a pay change “almost cut their salary in half,” and they wanted to find another job but there were few options. Then they came up with the idea for TeenServ. “Aside from getting a real job, refereeing (担任裁判) sports or yard work, there isn’t really a good way to make money,” Lannin said, adding that even becoming a referee requires a significant start-up cost for teens — around $70 — to pay for training and a uniform.
They started out by going door to door and asking community members if they would pay teens fair wages for short-term yard work. Soon enough, they began gathering opportunities. With help from an entrepreneurship class at McLean High School and feedback from teens, the students were able to turn their idea into a reality. So far, the website has employed more than 200 teens, according to Lannin. TeenServ pays students up to $18 per hour-well above Virginia’s minimum wage of $7.25.
The business is focused on mostly McLean for now, but TeenServ’s owners hope to expand around Fairfax County. That involves building up a base of teen workers before allowing residents to post jobs elsewhere in the county. After all, if residents need time-specific jobs done, they can’t be the ones waiting.
33．What is TeenServ’s goal?
A．To increase the number of teen workers.
B．To help teens decide on their future career.
C．To encourage teens to start their own business.
D．To connect community employers to local teens.
34．What does the underlined word “hectic” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Regular. B．Flexible. C．Traditional. D．Busy.
35．What problem did the three founders come across last year?
A．They failed to find a part-time job.
B．They received a significant pay cut.
C．They obtained little funding for their start-up.
D．They lost a game due to a referee’s unfair decision.
36．What do the three owners plan to do?
A．Create more time-specific jobs. B．Raise Virginia’s minimum wage.
C．Grow their business outside of McLean. D．Allow McLean residents to post jobs elsewhere.
（2022春·江苏连云港·高二统考期末）One of the basic expectations the public have of doctors is honesty. But what would you think if I told you that research has shown that 70 percent of the doctors admitted to lying to their patients? It is unforgivable, surely?
Mrs. Walton was in her eighties and desperate to see her husband. She’d been in hospital after a fall and was in pain. She called out for him frequently and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t there to comfort her. She was becoming more and more distressed and would try to get up to find him, despite being at risk of falling again.
“He’s on his way. Don’t worry,” the nurses would say and this would calm her down. I confess I said the same thing to her. She’d smile and roll her eyes and say how he was always late for tings and tell the same story about him being late for their wedding nearly 600 years ago. But in reality, he’d died two years ago.
What Mrs. Walton had is Alzheimer’s disease. Sufferers lose their short term memory, but recall memories from the distant past. They are trapped forever in a confusing past that has little connection to the present, but are at a loss to explain. They feel upset, scared and confused that they are in a strange place, even when they in their homes surrounded by their family, because they have regressed (退化) back to decades ago.
The lies that doctors, nurses, carers and families tell these patients are not big, complicated lies — they are intended to change the subject swiftly. When done in the right way, it is kind and sympathetic.
37．What does the author think of doctors lying?
A．Unforgivable. B．Unbearable.
C．Understandable. D．Unbelievable.
38．What happened to Mrs. Walton?
A．She had another fall. B．She suffered memory loss.
C．She was trapped in her ward. D．She was treated badly in hospital.
39．What does the underlined word “confess” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Regret. B．Boast. C．Guess. D．Admit.
40．What we learn from the text?
A．White lies don’t hurt. B．The first wealth is health.
C．Honesty is the best policy. D．A good medicine tastes bitter.

（2022春·江苏徐州·高二统考期末）Yvonne and I had a consulting business. Yvonne used to be CEO of a London insurance company and I was on the board of a branding agency, so we had decided to join forces and build something together. The company, Dutch Engels, did very well quickly and we were running around like headless chickens. There was lots of travel — Singapore, the EU, and we’d won a project where the client wanted us to spend six months in the US. We’d be standing on the platform getting a tube at seven in the morning, thinking, “Why are we juggling all this? There must be a better way to live.”
In April 2018, we were in Edinburgh for work, rushing off our feet, when someone at the meeting said that we looked like we needed a break. She suggested we go to one of the islands for a couple of days. It wasn’t a bad idea. Yvonne looked on Google Earth and spotted this tiny island, less than eight miles long and two miles wide. It looked like it was in the tropics — turquoise blue water and golden sand beaches. We headed there.
The ferry journey from Oban was splendid — you’ve got the mountains, the ocean, the yachts. It was a world we didn’t even know existed. Everything conspired (共同促成) to make us fall in love with the place. Both of us were feeling this gut instinct (直觉) which said, “This feels like home. Make this our home.” The great thing about having your own business is that you can make those decisions. That same day, instead of looking for a place to spend a holiday, we started looking for a place to live. The back windows looked on to the sea and the hills with nothing blocking the view. We went back to London and sold our apartment. By October, we’d moved here permanently.
We ended up raising sheep there and they’re not cheap. We went ahead and launched a woolly hat business — WELAN. We sell online and in the shop on Tiree harbour. Yvonne does the spinning and the knitting. I wash the wool, separate the fibres — all the dirty jobs. We still run the consultancy.

A．They made a mess in the business. B．They experienced a sense of failure.

（2022春·江苏宿迁·高二统考期末）Sharon Estill Taylor has no firsthand memories of her father. The World War II fighter pilot was shot down over Germany in April 1945, when Taylor was just three weeks old. When Taylor was young, her grandmother often shared stories about their fallen hero. “Nana, it’s OK,” Taylor assured her, “I’m going to find him and bring him home.”
Grandmother gave Taylor a silver box containing some 450 handwritten letters between her parents, spanning from their high school to the year 1945. Also included were six months’ worth of unopened letters. Taylor learned that on April 13, 1945, Estill had taken off to attack a railway station and destroy Nazi supply lines. She found a reference to a possible crash site near the town of Elsnig in eastern Germany.
With the collapse of the Berlin Wall, it became possible for Taylor to visit the potential crash site. She connected with German military historian Hans-Guenther Ploes, who agreed to help her try to find and identify any aircraft and human remains. In 2005, a team, accompanied by Ploes and Taylor, led a three-week unearthing. From the moment she set foot on the site, Taylor could feel that her dad was there. DNA analysis confirmed that the remains were his. On a sunny day, Taylor and her family buried her father’s remains at Arlington National Cemetery. Beyond fulfilling her promise to her grandmother, Taylor says her mission has been to get closer to her father and his legacy.
She has also come to realize that there’s an entire population of Americans who’ve lost parents and loved ones in military conflicts overseas and wish they knew more. Taylor shares her story widely, raising awareness of soldiers who never return from war and the significance of recovery efforts. An estimated 81,000 American service members’ bodies remain unaccounted for from past conflicts, but fortunately there are constant efforts to locate the fallen and bring relief to their families.
Taylor will never know exactly what her father’s final moments were like but she feels, in a way, that father has finally come home.
5．What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
A．Taylor’s father delivered supplies in the war.
B．Taylor got along well with her father as a kid.
C．The battle Taylor’s father attended was documented.
D．Taylor’s grandmother got to know all about the letters.
6．What probably discouraged Taylor from seeking her father at first?
A．No one was willing to assist her. B．Germany wasn’t reunited at that time.
C．There weren’t any clues about the battle. D．Science and technology were not advanced
7．Why does Taylor want others to know her story?
A．To help make her grandmother’s wish come true.
B．To let the readers know more about World War II.
C．To pay her respect to fallen heroes like her father.
D．To show the possibility of regaining heroes’ remains.
8．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Cherish Parents’ Love B．Let Heroes Return Home
C．Never Forget the History D．Meet Grandmother’s Wish
（2022春·江苏南通·高二统考期末）As a geothermal(地热) scientist, I know that boiling rivers exist-but they are always near volcanoes. You need a lot of heat to make that much water boil. We were working in the volcanic gap, a 950-mile-long area that covers most of Peru, where there haven’t been volcanic eruptions for the past two million years.
Yet, we’d found the Shanaya, a name originated from “heating thing”. My measurements averaged 190°F-195°F. The locals think it’s so hot because of the Yacumama, or “water mother”—a spirit who gives birth to waters—represented by a snake-head-shaped rock at the origin of the heated water.
I had to cut my way through the bush at the side of the river to take temperature readings. All the while, right next to me was this very hot, fast-flowing body of water. A friend at the nearest village had told me, “Use your feet like eyes.” You can’t see heat, but you can feel it when you step near it. I wore sandals(凉鞋).
I was at a part of the river measuring 210F, standing on a rock the size of a sheet or paper, when the rain fell. It was like a curtain rising. The temperature difference between the rain and the river caused a whiteout(临时性失明). I couldn’t see, but I whistled to let my partner know I was OK.
At 130°F, flesh cooks, and the water around me was nearing twice that. My eyes would have cooked in less than a minute, and I couldn’t have seen how to get out. I saw rats fall in, their eyes turning milky white. I kept whistling.
After 15 minutes the rain stopped and the steam cleared. A heavy rain in most situations would have been nothing important. Here, for a matter of minutes, it thinned the line between researching and being boiled alive.
9．What do the locals think causes the water so hot?
A．The high temperature. B．An imaginary creature.
C．The volcanic eruptions. D．The geological conditions.
10．Why did the author cut his way through the bush beside the river?
A．To get some related data.
B．To look into wildlife around the river.
C．To know about the quality of the water.
D．To appreciate the beautiful scenery there.
11．For what reason did the author whistle when it rained?
A．He was in trouble. B．He could stand on a rock.
C．Nothing was wrong with him. D．He liked the natural phenomenon.
12．What is the best title for the article?
A．A Hard Rain B．Milky White Eyes
C．Boiling River D．Water near Volcanoes
（2022春·江苏苏州·高二常熟中学校考期末）Leaving our hostel in the centre of Phnom Penh, we climb inside our small Tuk Tuk cabin attached to the back of Kiwi’s motorbike; a bottle of water in one hand and a surgeon-style mask in the other we set off on our 45-minute commute. It is a familiar start to the day for me and two other volunteers. We are setting out to work in an orphanage just outside Cambodia’s capital city.
The morning rush hour in Phnom Penh is crowded and chaotic. Kiwi directs our path between the trucks, 4×4 Lexus’ and countless motorbikes, which often carry entire families. We reach the dusty highway, masks and sunshades firmly in place to protect our eyes and lungs. A mixture of concrete buildings and huts exist along the side of the road among a sea of rubbish. The residents often smile and wave as we pass by.
We turn onto a farm track. The last part of our journey is a roller coaster, jumping out of potholes (路面坑洼) and turning to avoid falling off the sinking road. We pass huts on stilts (木桩), skinny cows and farm yards where children jump and scream upon seeing us. The stream along the side of the road is almost bone dry and vegetation is rare across the fields.
Finally we arrive at our destination: the oasis (令人快慰的地方) is Samrong Farm. By the gates, a group of 10-year-old children compete in the area of marbles. We’re greeted by the shouts of “Cha, cha(short for ‘teacher’)!” from several other kids gathering round. As we climb out of our vehicle, the sun is already hot and the oasis is as dry as the fields surrounding it. In such conditions you would imagine life to be hard, but you wouldn’t know it to see the warm smiles and hear the laughter of the residents at Samrong Orphanage.
Compared to children in the Western World they have little and yet they give so much in generosity of spirit and enthusiasm for every day. Despite the journey, it is so good to arrive at work in the morning.
13．Where was the author going?
A．To Samrong Orphanage. B．To the oasis of Samrong.
C．To the capital of Cambodia. D．To the centre of Phnom Penh.
14．What word can be used to describe Kiwi?
A．Disciplined. B．Confident. C．Devoted. D．Ambitious.
15．What did they see along the farm track?
A．Dry bones. B．Shy children.
C．Almost bare fields. D．A roller coaster beside it.
16．What can we learn from the story?
A．Enthusiasm of the children. B．Comfort of riding a motorbike.
C．Beauty of working in the morning. D．Pleasure of being in a different culture.
（2022春·江苏南京·高二南京市中华中学校考期末）When I win at my favourite games, my opponents tend to say: ‘OH, you’re so competitive!’ But when I lose, they smile good-naturedly and say: ‘Bad luck! Good game!’
This suggests that accurate sporting expressions should go something like this:

Or:

I’m not saying I don’t have a competitive personality. We all do. On walks, I like to be out in front. In traffic jams, I find myself focusing on cars in other lanes, and fret if they edge ahead of me. I tense up while waiting for trains, determined to be first aboard. The other day, I was one of the first to board a train, grabbing a perfect spot in first class. Yes, I had won! Just halfway, I went to get a free drink for a first-class seat from the buffet. But I had left my ticket on my table. I worked out that, if I moved very swiftly, I could nip (快走) through two carriages, and nip back without anyone taking my place at the front of the queue.
So I rushed back, picking up my ticket, and turned back. I was at the beginning of the second carriage, when, to my horror, I noticed, another figure, roughly my size, shooting towards the buffet from the other direction.
Desperate to arrive before he did, I started walking faster. But at exactly the same moment, he started walking faster, too. Trying to retain my dignity, I broke into a running. Whatever happened, I was determined to win! But, annoyingly, at the same time as I sped up, so did he. The race was on.
Finally, in my rush, I knocked into a suitcase and stumbled slightly. Still with my eyes on my challenger, I noticed that-strange but true-exactly the same thing had happened to him.
It was only as we both lifted ourselves up in exactly the same way that I realised that, throughout the race, I had been looking at a reflection of myself in the sliding door!
My competitor for first place in the buffet queue was...me.

（2022春·江苏苏州·高二苏州中学校考期末）Whether it be a person, an animal, or even an insect, a mother’s instincts (本能) are never wrong. This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cat’s quick thinking may have just saved her babies.
In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital bolding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens.
The mother cat was concerned for her young because they weren’t able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets (兽医) and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited.” Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.
When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. Without the mother cat’s help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood.
As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mother’s love and protection knows no bounds. Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.
21．Why did the mother cat show up in the hospital?
A．To beg for food. B．To get her babies treated.
C．To express thanks. D．To give birth to her babies.
22．How did the doctors help the baby cat?
A．They built them a home. B．They adopted all of them.
C．They operated on them immediately. D．They gave them right medicine.
23．What makes newly-born cats dependent on their mothers?
A．Their physical state. B．Their eating habit.
C．Their appearance. D．Their behavior.
24．What can we learn from the story?
A．cat has nine lives. B．One good turn deserves another.
C．Love makes a difference. D．God helps those who help themselves.
（2022春·江苏镇江·高二江苏省镇江第一中学校联考期末）Growing up in Venezuela, there was never really much cause to learn English.
For five years, I spent two hours a week completely involved in understanding “to be”, numbers, colors, and the differences between saying “good evening” and “good night”.
I thought two hours a week was enough time to invest in learning a foreign language. I would always get top marks and teachers would regularly praise me.
Even as an adult, I still thought I spoke the language, just by understanding English menus or translating some common phrases.
Yep, that used to be me, walking like a queen among everyday, Spanish speakers.
“Bring it on, life.” I said.
“I can deal with whatever you’ve got, I’m a rock star.” But when I moved to Canada, life hit me so hard that it knocked me down. Years later, I am still recovering.
Living in a new land, with different people, new rules, new weather, a new culture and language, I was no longer a queen.
Did I speak English? No, not at all. So, I went back to school, thinking that it was a challenge I would conquer in record time. But English was more like a wall in my path.
Even after getting a job, it took all my courage to stop myself from hiding in the washroom during my lunch break, crying, completely overwhelmed (不知所措的) and scared.
Learning English, speaking, listening—it hurt me. Not the language. Not the unkind people. It hurt because I wasn’t good, despite my efforts.
Now, after almost seven years in Canada, I’ve decided not to say sorry for my accent, grammar mistakes, or pronunciation. I’m going to run after my dreams and enjoy a beautiful, rich and fascinating language.
Don’t get me wrong. My brain still screams “Give me a break!” from time to time, but that’s completely natural.
I know it’s going to take a while, but at least now I accept the person I am—not the perfect person I thought I was.

（2022春·江苏宿迁·高二统考期末）As the fifth of seven children, I went to the same public school as my three elder sisters and brother. Every year, my mother went to the same ceremony and had parent-child interviews with teachers. And every child participated in an old school tradition — the annual plant sale held in early May, just timely for Mother’s Day. What was different was the child.
Third grade was the first time I was allowed to join in the plant sale. Originally, I wanted to surprise my mother. For lack of enough money, I went to my eldest sister and shared my thought, after which she supported me financially. When arriving at the plant sale, I carefully made my selection, inspecting each plant for the best geranium (天竺葵) and taking it home in secret. When Mother’s Day arrived, I remember how proud and delighted my mother was to receive the special gift.
The year I was fifteen, my younger sister reached third grade. In early May, she came to me full of wonder and secrecy and told me that a plant sale was to be held at school. As my elder sister did for me, I gave her some money and off she went. She arrived home full of nervous excitement, the geranium hidden in a paper bag under her sweater. “I looked at every plant,” she explained, “and I know I got the best one!”
When she gave my mother the geranium, they were both bursting with pride and delight. My mother also noticed me and gave me a soft, secret smile. With a tug at my heart, I smiled back. I had been wondering how my mother could pretend to be surprised at this gift from her sixth child, but as I watched her eyes light up with delight as she was presented with that most precious gift, I knew she was not pretending.

（2022春·江苏·高二江苏省天一中学校联考期末）Tired of underpaid jobs and inconvenient hours, three entrepreneurial (富于企业家精神的) McLean teens decided to start their own company.
Their new company, TeenServ, aims to solve teenage unemployment with a platform that matches students and community members who need short-term assistance with various tasks. Through TeenServ, residents sign up to post jobs they need done. Teens signed up to work can choose to accept a job depending on their schedules and work preferences. Website users can pick up shifts wherever and whenever they want, making it convenient for hectic schedules.
A year ago, Jack Lannin, Quin Frew and Ben Jeannot worked as lifeguards at a local pool. Lannin told Tysons Reporter that they were upset when a pay change “almost cut their salary in half,” and they wanted to find another job but there were few options. Then they came up with the idea for TeenServ. “Aside from getting a real job, refereeing (担任裁判) sports or yard work, there isn’t really a good way to make money,” Lannin said, adding that even becoming a referee requires a significant start-up cost for teens — around $70 — to pay for training and a uniform.
They started out by going door to door and asking community members if they would pay teens fair wages for short-term yard work. Soon enough, they began gathering opportunities. With help from an entrepreneurship class at McLean High School and feedback from teens, the students were able to turn their idea into a reality. So far, the website has employed more than 200 teens, according to Lannin. TeenServ pays students up to $18 per hour-well above Virginia’s minimum wage of $7.25.
The business is focused on mostly McLean for now, but TeenServ’s owners hope to expand around Fairfax County. That involves building up a base of teen workers before allowing residents to post jobs elsewhere in the county. After all, if residents need time-specific jobs done, they can’t be the ones waiting.
33．What is TeenServ’s goal?
A．To increase the number of teen workers.
B．To help teens decide on their future career.
C．To encourage teens to start their own business.
D．To connect community employers to local teens.
34．What does the underlined word “hectic” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Regular. B．Flexible. C．Traditional. D．Busy.
35．What problem did the three founders come across last year?
A．They failed to find a part-time job.
B．They received a significant pay cut.
C．They obtained little funding for their start-up.
D．They lost a game due to a referee’s unfair decision.
36．What do the three owners plan to do?
A．Create more time-specific jobs. B．Raise Virginia’s minimum wage.
C．Grow their business outside of McLean. D．Allow McLean residents to post jobs elsewhere.
（2022春·江苏连云港·高二统考期末）One of the basic expectations the public have of doctors is honesty. But what would you think if I told you that research has shown that 70 percent of the doctors admitted to lying to their patients? It is unforgivable, surely?
Mrs. Walton was in her eighties and desperate to see her husband. She’d been in hospital after a fall and was in pain. She called out for him frequently and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t there to comfort her. She was becoming more and more distressed and would try to get up to find him, despite being at risk of falling again.
“He’s on his way. Don’t worry,” the nurses would say and this would calm her down. I confess I said the same thing to her. She’d smile and roll her eyes and say how he was always late for tings and tell the same story about him being late for their wedding nearly 600 years ago. But in reality, he’d died two years ago.
What Mrs. Walton had is Alzheimer’s disease. Sufferers lose their short term memory, but recall memories from the distant past. They are trapped forever in a confusing past that has little connection to the present, but are at a loss to explain. They feel upset, scared and confused that they are in a strange place, even when they in their homes surrounded by their family, because they have regressed (退化) back to decades ago.
The lies that doctors, nurses, carers and families tell these patients are not big, complicated lies — they are intended to change the subject swiftly. When done in the right way, it is kind and sympathetic.
37．What does the author think of doctors lying?
A．Unforgivable. B．Unbearable.
C．Understandable. D．Unbelievable.
38．What happened to Mrs. Walton?
A．She had another fall. B．She suffered memory loss.
C．She was trapped in her ward. D．She was treated badly in hospital.
39．What does the underlined word “confess” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Regret. B．Boast. C．Guess. D．Admit.
40．What we learn from the text?
A．White lies don’t hurt. B．The first wealth is health.
C．Honesty is the best policy. D．A good medicine tastes bitter.
