【14题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：但近年来，全球范围内从事志愿服务的青年人数显著增加。根据时间状语“in recent years”可知，句子使用现在完成时，“a significant increase”作主语，为单数意义，故填has been。
【15题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：在中国，从教育科普到动物救助、环境保护等领域，年轻人在做志愿者。该处为固定短语range from… to…，意为“在从……到……的范围内变化；从……到……（不等）”，故填from。
【16题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：你想成为服务他人并做好事的人之一吗？分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，先行词those指人并在从句中作主语，因此使用关系代词who或者that引导定语从句。故填who/that。

【17题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：今天我被一位女士拦住，她问我能不能帮她找回她丢失的手机。stop停止，动词作谓语；由从句谓语动词asked可知，空处谓语动词需用一般过去时；结合空后“by a lady”可知，空前主语是动作的承受者，所以空处谓语动词需用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是第一人称单数，所以空处be动词需用was。故填was stopped。
【18题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我尽了最大的努力，在她的车里和周围以及她的包里搜寻。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词did，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词；动词search与主句主语I之间是逻辑主谓关系，所以空处需用现在分词，作状语。故填searching。
【19题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：我一直陪着她，直到她冷静下来，让她用我的手机给朋友打电话。calm冷静，动词作谓语；由主句谓语动词kept可知，空处谓语动词需用一般过去时。故填calmed。

During my early childhood years, I would spend time with my dad in Alabama, fishing and hiking through the woods.
This is where I found my first box turtle crossing a busy road. I rescued the animal out of harm’s way. Without money for after-school programs and sports, I would spend my spare time catching crawfish, frogs, and making home-made fishing poles.
I would catch small fish, put them in barrels, and use them to catch larger fish, primarily sunfish, crappie, and catfish. I moved back to Chicago in the 3rd grade and became saddened that I was unable to swim at local beaches and eat fish that were caught from Lake Michigan.
When I started having behavioral issues in elementary school, my teachers would send me to my guidance teacher Dr. Deborah Hawes to do math and science projects.
I would intentionally disrupt (扰乱) the class, knowing that I would get sent down to her office for guidance. Dr. Hawes was passionate about science and math. Her goal was to help every student realize the importance of these subjects, and how they relate to everyday living. As a result, she was able to convince me to participate in science fair project competitions.
Surprisingly, I did incredibly well at those competitions and received numerous awards throughout the city at larger competitions. It was after 8th grade that Dr. Hawes convinced me to transfer to another high school which is famous for its agricultural sciences. This by far, was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.
It was while attending this high school that I became interested in the study of environmental and animal sciences. My time here was what stimulated my interest in animal science and conservation and motivated me to continue my education in a local top university, where I was awarded a partial scholarship.
I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science in 2004. In 2008, I earned a Master of Science degree while conducting research on turtle nests. As a graduate student from 2006 to 2008, I guided high school and college students by helping them design research projects focusing on reptiles (爬行动物).
In 2009, I became the Savanna Districts first-ever Wildlife Biologist. I am stationed at one of the most visited refuges (保护区) in the nation, which attracts millions of hunters, fishermen, and other outdoor enthusiasts from across the nation.
24. What do we know about the writer?
A. He got his first box turtle on the way home.
B. He felt troubled by his behavioral problems.
C. He enjoyed the outdoor time in early childhood.
D. He refused to join after-school activities in Alabama.
25. Why did the writer like Dr. Hawes?
A. She fueled his passion for science. B. She made him realize the importance of education.
C. She helped him win a full scholarship. D. She improved his relationship with other teachers.
26. Which is the right order of the events?
a. I transferred from my former school.
b. I helped students design research projects.
c. I got the Bachelor's Degree in a famous university.
d. I performed well in science fair project competitions.
e. I became the Savanna Districts first Wildlife Biologist.
A. adbce B. dabce C. adcbe D. dacbe
27. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Interest is the best teacher. B. One is never too old to learn.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Chance favors the prepared mind.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“我”的求学和科研经历，霍斯博士点燃了“我”对科学的热情，在她的帮助下“我”逐步走向成功。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“I moved back to Chicago in the 3rd grade and became saddened that I was unable to swim at local beaches and eat fish that were caught from Lake Michigan.(我在三年级时搬回了芝加哥，并为我无法在当地的海滩游泳和吃从密歇根湖捕获的鱼而感到难过)”可知，他回忆起小时候在户外玩耍的时光时流露出了依依不舍，这说明他很享受童年时期的户外时光。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“I would intentionally disrupt the class, knowing that I would get sent down to her office for guidance. Dr. Hawes was passionate about science and math. Her goal was to help every student realize the importance of these subjects, and how they relate to everyday living. As a result, she was able to convince me to participate in science fair project competitions.(我会故意扰乱课堂，知道我会被派到她的办公室寻求指导。霍斯博士对科学和数学充满热情。她的目标是帮助每个学生意识到这些科目的重要性，以及它们与日常生活的关系。结果，她能够说服我参加科学博览会的项目竞赛)”和第五段的“Surprisingly, I did incredibly well at those competitions and received numerous awards throughout the city at larger competitions.(令人惊讶的是，我在这些比赛中表现得非常好，在全市范围内的大型比赛中获得了无数奖项)”以及下文作者喜欢环境和动物学推知，作者喜欢霍斯博士的原因是她激发了他对科学的热情。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段的“ It was after 8th grade that Dr. Hawes convinced me to transfer to another high school which is famous for its agricultural sciences.(八年级之后，霍斯博士说服我转学到另一所以农业科学而闻名的高中)”可知，a中事情发生在作者离开霍斯博士所在学校之后；根据倒数第二段的“ As a graduate student from 2006 to 2008, I guided high school and college students by helping them design research projects focusing on reptiles.(2006 年至 2008 年我研究生在读，指导高中生和大学生，帮助他们设计以爬行动物为重点的研究项目)”可知，b中事情发生的时间为2006年至2008年；根据倒数第二段的“ I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science in 2004. (我于2004 年获得了动物科学的理学学士学位)”可知，c中事情发生的时间为2004年；根据第六段的“Surprisingly, I did incredibly well at those competitions and received numerous awards throughout the city at larger competitions. (令人惊讶的是，我在这些比赛中表现出色，并在整个城市的大型比赛中获得了无数的奖项)”可知，d中事情发生之时作者尚在霍斯博士所在学校就读；根据最后一段的“In 2009, I became the Savanna Districts first-ever Wildlife Biologist. (2009 年，我成为稀树草原区首位野生动物生物学家)”可知，e中事情发生的时间为2009年。由以上可以判断出d的事情最先发生，然后是a的事情发生。剩下的三个可以通过时间来明确地做出判断，c为2004，b为2006-2008，e为2009，因此整体排序为：dacbe。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“It was while attending this high school that I became interested in the study of environmental and animal sciences. My time here was what stimulated my interest in animal science and conservation and motivated me to continue my education in a local top university, where I was awarded a partial scholarship.(正是在上这所高中时，我对环境和动物科学的研究产生了兴趣。在这里的时光激发了我对环境科学和动物科学研究的兴趣，并促使我继续在当地一所顶尖大学接受教育，在那里我获得了部分奖学金)”和第3题的分析可知，作者对环境科学和动物科学的研究产生了兴趣，后来获得了动物科学的理学学士学位并在2009年成为了稀树草原区首位野生动物生物学家。由此可以判断出兴趣是最好的老师。故选A项。
C
I bet your grandparents never imagined they would see the day when they could plug in a car like a lamp. No more smelly gasoline (汽油)! No more waste gases polluting the atmosphere! One way to address the climate crisis, we are told, is to electrify transport. This will remove our dependence on fossil fuels like gasoline that pollute the atmosphere and trap greenhouse gases that make our planet warmer. Currently, electric vehicles make up 2 percent of the global car market. The U.S. plans to have at least half of all vehicles sold in the U.S. run completely on electricity by 2035 and stop making gas-powered cars within the next 20 years.
However, electric cars use 1-2 kg of magnets (磁体) to power them and each of these magnets uses special materials. It turns out that getting the required supplies is harder than you think. Let’s find out why.
Rare earth metals (also called Rare Earth Elements or REEs) have strong magnetic properties that make them ideal for powering many of the devices we use today, such as smartphones, computers and electric car batteries. REEs aren’t really rare, at least not in the way you might think. Even the rarest REE is 125 times more common than gold! REEs are “rare” because they are mostly found only in small quantities. Generally, they are found in a rare igneous rock (火成岩) called carbonate (碳酸盐), which contains 17 minerals — which must all be separated. The process is hard, dirty and can be very expensive. Keep in mind, however, that producing and processing are different steps. Producing is the act of mining metals; processing is the act of separating the minerals. Many countries mine carbonate including the United States, Australia, Brazil and Canada. China alone produces 63 percent of REEs today, which is down from a high of 90 percent! China now controls 85 percent of REEs processing. That is because the producing countries send their REEs to China for processing.
Electric cars are increasing in popularity with many traditional car companies introducing all-electric models. This switch will increase the demand for REEs which is prompting car companies to work directly with the mines to save costs. Many people still have concerns about the environmental effects of increased mining. Though several companies are working to go green, mining is known to have a history with known dangers such as pollution and the risk of deadly accidents. The mining of these metals is even known to produce radioactive (放射性的) wastewater!
A new chapter in climate history is possible if mining can be done safely. In fewer than a hundred years, most cars on the road will use electricity or two different types of power. The traditional cars, harmful to the environment, will be a thing of the past.
28. Why is it hard to get required supplies for electric cars?
A. Because they are not as common as gold.
B. Because the step of producing is very difficult.
C. Because they are also used in many other fields.
D. Because they are hard to separate from carbonate.
29. What can we learn from the passage?
A. There are more countries processing REEs than mining them.
B. Electric cars may get more widely used if mining can be safer.
C. Car companies prefer to seek professional teams to mine REEs.
D. Electric cars account for almost half of the global car market now.
30. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Challenges of Electric Cars B. The Future of Rare Earth Metals
C. The History of Rare Earth Metals D. The Development of Electric Cars
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要描写电动汽车面临的挑战——供电所需的磁铁很难获得。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段，尤其是“Generally, they are found in a rare igneous rock (火成岩) called carbonate (碳酸盐), which contains 17 minerals—which must all be separated. The process is hard, dirty and can be very expensive. ”（一般来说，它们是在一种罕见的火成岩碳酸盐中发现的，碳酸盐中含有17种必须全部分离的矿物。这个过程很难、很脏，而且可能非常昂贵）可知，很难获得电动车所需的供应是因为合成供电磁铁的成分很难从碳酸盐中分解出来。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A new chapter in climate history is possible if mining can be done safely. In fewer than a hundred years, most cars on the road will use electricity or two different types of power. The traditional cars, harmful to the environment, will be a thing of the past.”（如果能够安全地进行采矿，气候历史就有可能翻开新的一页。在不到一百年的时间里，道路上的大多数汽车将使用电力或两种不同类型的电力。对环境有害的传统汽车将成为过去）可知，如果采矿更安全，电动汽车可能会得到更广泛的应用。故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“It turns out that getting the required supplies is harder than you think. ”（事实证明，获得所需物资比你想象的要难）以及倒数第二段“Though several companies are working to go green, mining is known to have a history with known dangers such as pollution and the risk of deadly accidents. The mining of these metals is even known to produce radioactive (放射性的) wastewater!”（虽然有几家公司正在努力实现绿色，但众所周知，采矿业有着污染和致命事故风险等已知危险的历史。开采这些金属甚至会产生放射性废水！）以及第一题解析可知，这篇文章主要描写电动汽车面临的挑战。A项“电动车面临的挑战”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选A。
D
The term “metaverse (元宇宙)” is the latest popular word to catch the tech industry’s imagination. Neal Stephenson coined this term in his novel Snow Crash:“In the lingo, this imaginary place is known as the metaverse. Hiro spends a lot of time in the metaverse.” In its current meaning, it generally refers to the concept of a world of endless, interconnected virtual communities where people gather to socialize, play and work, using VR headsets, AR glasses, smartphone apps or other devices. It is a “virtual environment” you can go inside of — instead of just looking at on a screen. It also could be a game-changer for the work-from-home shift during the COVID-19 epidemic. Instead of seeing co-workers on a video call, employees could join them in a virtual office.
A big reason why metaverse is popular with young people is the more real gaming experience.Gamers will feel that they themselves are playing in an alternate world rather than controlling a game character.This creates a real-time experience for all the players.
In addition, it has more far-reaching significance. Some advocates believe that blockchain (区域链) technology and decentralized (分散式的) apps will be the keys to unlocking the next big step forward for the Web: the metaverse, a place where AR, VR, next-generation data networks and decentralized financing and payment systems contribute to a more realistic digital world where people can socialize, work and trade digital goods. It is known that many products need to be tested and it costs a lot. With metaverse, the variables and environment can be changed within the digital world to obtain more comprehensive results and the new product will be tested with minimum cost. In the medical field, using metaverse patients just do not have any need to visit doctors physically. They can just interact with them face to face in real-time in the digital world. Additionally, the newcomer to medicine can learn and practice inside the alternate world by gaining experience before they can take on real-world tasks.
Metaverse brings many new and advanced technologies such as VR headsets, blockchain and other requirements. However, every individual on this planet does not have access to advanced technologies. For example, fast Internet connectivity is one of the mandatory (强制性的) requirements for participating in the metaverse. Majority of people worldwide cannot access fast Internet and cannot capitalize on the full potential of the metaverse.

【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Neal Stephenson coined this term in his novel Snow Crash:'In the lingo, this imaginary place is known as the metaverse. Hiro spends a lot of time in the metaverse.' (尼尔·斯蒂芬森在他的小说《雪花坠落》中创造了这个词：“在行话中，这个虚构的地方被称为元宇宙。Hiro花了很多时间在元宇宙中。”)”可知作者提到尼尔·斯蒂芬森的小说来展示metaverse的起源。故选B。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“However, every individual on this planet does not have access to advanced technologies. For example, fast Internet connectivity is one of the mandatory (强制性) requirements for participating in the metaverse. Majority of people worldwide cannot access fast Internet and cannot capitalize on the full potential of the metaverse. Furthermore, with the objective of introducing immersive experiences to users, the metaverse makes the gap between real and virtual worlds less clear. It also brings the possibilities of influencing the ways in which people perceive real relationships and interactions. (然而，并不是这个星球上的每个人都有机会获得先进技术。例如，快速互联网连接是参与metaverse的强制性要求之一。全世界大多数人无法快手访问互联网，也无法充分利用metaverse的潜力。此外，为了向用户介绍身临其境的体验，metaverse使真实世界和虚拟世界之间的差距变得不那么明显。它还带来了影响人们感知真实关系和互动方式的可能性。)”可知第4段的目的是说明metaverse使用的局限性。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In the medical field, using metaverse patients just do not have any need to visit doctors physically. They can just interact with them face to face in real-time in the digital world. Additionally, the newcomer to medicine can learn and practice inside the alternate world by gaining experience before they can take on real-world tasks. (在医学领域，使用metaverse的患者根本不需要去看医生。他们可以在数字世界中与他们面对面地进行实时交互。此外，医学新手可以通过在另一个世界中学习和实践获得经验，然后承担实际任务。)”可知，由于元宇宙对医生和患者的帮助，它可以被医学界所接受。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the arguing, metaverse is a new windfall for the future development of the Internet. The companies can seize the opportunity that the metaverse presents to connect with audiences in ways that were never possible before and provide exciting and memorable brand experiences. (尽管存在争议，metaverse是互联网未来发展的一笔新横财。这些公司可以抓住metaverse提供的机会，以前所未有的方式与观众沟通，并提供令人激动和难忘的品牌体验。)”可知作者对metaverse的态度是“赞成的”，即Approved。故选B。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。
The television this morning was displaying some new adventure movie about the hunt for a treasure ship full of gold. ___35___ Most of main characters have the dream of becoming an overnight millionaire. Later in the day I was at the gas station in line to pay for a filling up my car when the guy in front of me traded a handful of cash for a handful of hope in the form of Lotto tickets.
Where did this desire for treasure come from? I know I myself am guilty of it. As a boy I would walk in the woods and daydream of finding buried treasure there. Then as an adult I would fantasize about some unknown relative leaving me a fortune or of my two self-published books becoming best sellers. ___36___ However, when I see all the rich and famous people on television I can see that they aren’t that happy and that they have their own unique set of problems.
___37___ There really is a true treasure out there that will make our lives so much better and the most amazing thing of all is this treasure is absolutely free. This treasure is love. There is so much love around us and when we invite the love into our hearts and lives we become rich, our days are filled with smiles, and our lives are full of joy. When we have love inside us, the problems of this life lose their power over us. ___38___
Then how shall we look for treasure? The true treasure of life is already inside of you. ___39___ And the funny thing is that the more you share it with others, the more of it you have within yourself. Embrace love for you then. Share it with the world. It is a treasure that does not decay or disappear. It is a treasure that lasts forever.
A. While our lives may not be perfect, we are happy.
B. You just need to open the chest and spend it like crazy.
C. It doesn’t necessarily mean we need to dig holes to find treasure.
D. Maybe the real problem is that we are all looking for the wrong treasure.
E. It reminded me of all the other movies just like it I had seen over the years.
F. Treasure is usually defined as gathered wealth in the form of money or jewels.
G. Perhaps we all just think that having a lot of money will solve all of our problems.
【答案】35. E 36. G 37. D 38. A 39. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了人们都认为有很多钱就能解决我们所有的问题，所以将金钱作为追寻的宝藏。但作者认为真正的宝藏是内心的爱。
【35题详解】
根据上文“The television this morning was displaying some new adventure movie about the hunt for a treasure ship full of gold.(今天早上电视播放了一些新的冒险电影，是关于寻找装满金子的宝船的)”以及下文“Most of main characters have the dream of becoming an overnight millionaire. (大多数主角都梦想一夜成为百万富翁)”可知，本句应承上启下，说明这部电影带给作者的感受：让我想起了这么多年来我看过的所有其他电影。故E选项“它让我想起了这么多年来我看过的所有其他电影”符合语境，故选E。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Where did this desire for treasure come from? I know I myself am guilty of it. As a boy I would walk in the woods and daydream of finding buried treasure there. Then as an adult I would fantasize about some unknown relative leaving me a fortune or of my two self-published books becoming best sellers.(这种寻宝的欲望从何而来？我知道我自己也有罪。小时候，我常在树林里散步，幻想着在那里找到埋藏的宝藏。成年后，我会幻想某个不知名的亲戚给我留下一笔财富，或者我自己出版的两本书成为畅销书)”以及后文“However, when I see all the rich and famous people on television I can see that they aren’t that happy and that they have their own unique set of problems.(然而，当我在电视上看到所有的富人和名人时，我可以看到他们并不那么快乐，他们有自己独特的问题)”可知，后文提到富人和名人也有自己的问题，说明钱并不能解决所有问题，本句与后文构成转折，故G选项“也许我们都认为有很多钱就能解决我们所有的问题”符合语境，故选G。
【37题详解】
根据后文“There really is a true treasure out there that will make our lives so much better and the most amazing thing of all is this treasure is absolutely free. This treasure is love.(真的有一个真正的宝藏在那里，它会让我们的生活变得更好，最令人惊讶的是，这个宝藏是绝对免费的。这个宝藏就是爱)”可知，后文提到了真正的宝藏是爱，说明上文提到的将金钱作为宝藏是错误的，故D选项“也许真正的问题是我们都在寻找错误的宝藏”符合语境，故选D。
【38题详解】
根据上文“There is so much love around us and when we invite the love into our hearts and lives we become rich, our days are filled with smiles, and our lives are full of joy. When we have love inside us, the problems of this life lose their power over us.(我们周围有太多的爱，当我们邀请爱进入我们的心和生活，我们变得丰富，我们的日子充满了微笑，我们的生活充满了欢乐。当我们心中有爱时，生活中的问题就会失去对我们的影响)”可知，上文提到生活中存在问题，即并不完美，但爱可以让人很幸福。故A选项“虽然我们的生活可能不完美，但我们很幸福”符合语境，故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Then how shall we look for treasure? The true treasure of life is already inside of you.(那我们怎么找宝藏呢？真正的生命宝藏已经在你体内)”以及后文“And the funny thing is that the more you share it with others, the more of it you have within yourself.(有趣的是，你和别人分享的越多，你自己也会拥有越多)”可知，上文提到生命宝藏已经存在体内，后文提到和别人分享，即要打开心扉和他人共享宝藏。故B选项“你只需要打开心扉，疯狂地分享它”符合语境，故选B。
第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分）
第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
A Reflection about Change
Change can be exciting and hard. It is also a fact of life in the world of education. I am a librarian at a high school. I have worked as a librarian for the past eleven years. This year my school is going through a tremendous transition. There is a new school building being constructed with a mid-year move planned. Additionally, due to some restructuring, I am working with a new teaching partner and two new grade levels. This is all incredibly exciting but also brings a level of uncertainty too. I could look at this in a negative way, but instead, I am going to focus on the upside to this transition. So here I share some ways I am embracing this change.
Working with teachers, that I have not had an opportunity to work with before, will allow me to gain new perspectives about the needs of the students in my school. The library program has been something I have worked hard to build over the past nine years. I am very close to it. It will be helpful for someone who has an outside perspective to ask questions about our practices. It will allow me to reflect on why we do certain things and will make the program better moving forward.
As I gain new perspectives from my colleagues, I also have an opportunity to share the mission of the library. It has given me a chance to highlight some of the great lessons and projects I have had the opportunity to be a part of in the past.
Is this a hill I want to die on? This is about recognizing the things that I can change and making those work rather than worrying about things that I have no control over. It is about not sweating the small stuff. If I ask myself this question and the answer is no, then I have to let it go and move on!
One of my wonderful colleagues, Cheri Dobbs, told me to give myself permission for things not to be perfect. Next year will be a year of growth. The library program will not be exactly like what we want it to be. That is OK! As long as we stay true to our goals and support students the best we can, then the rest will come together eventually.
40. What changes are happening to the author this year?
41 What will the author get from someone who has an outside perspective?
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
To deal with change, we should work on the things that we can change and try our best to make the things we have no control over under control.
43. Besides the opinions mentioned in the passage, what are your thoughts on change? (In about 40 words)
【答案】40. The author is working with a new teaching partner and two new grade levels.
41. The author will reflect on why he/she does certain things and will make the program better moving forward.
42. To deal with changes, we should work on the things that we can change and try our best to make the things we have no control over under control. Because there is no need to try our best to make the things that we have no control over and we’d better to do something within our control.
43. One possible version: Change is unavoidable. Accepting change is necessary and vital because only in this way can we make full use of change. Having a reasoning attitude towards change is also helpful. In that case, you can analyze it objectively and cope with it wisely.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要描写作者关于变化的反思。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“Additionally, due to some restructuring, I am working with a new teaching partner and two new grade levels.”(此外，由于一些重组，我正在与一个新的教学伙伴一起工作，并且教两个新的年级。)可知，作者今年面临着新的工作调整，即正在与一个新的教学伙伴一起工作，教两个新的年级。故答案为The author is working with a new teaching partner and two new grade levels.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“It will allow me to reflect on why we do certain things and will make the program better moving forward.”(这将使我能够思考我们为什么要做某些事情，并将使该计划更好地向前推进。)可知，作者从这些人身上学到思考一些事情，更好地推进计划。故答案为The author will reflect on why he/she does certain things and will make the program better moving forward.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“This is about recognizing the things that I can change and making those work rather than worrying about things that I have no control over.”(这是关于认识到我可以改变的事情并使其发挥作用，而不是担心我无法控制的事情。)可知，我们不应该去担心我们无法掌控的的事，故“try our best to make the things we have no control over under control”(尽最大努力使我们无法控制的事情得到控制。)部分有误。故答案为To deal with changes, we should work on the things that we can change and try our best to make the things we have no control over under control. Because there is no need to try our best to make the things that we have no control over and we’d better to do something within our control.
【43题详解】
开放题，答案不唯一。题干问的是除了文章中提到的观点，你对改变有什么看法？答案言之有理即可，参考答案：改变是不可避免的，接受变化是必要和重要的，因为只有这样我们才能充分利用变化。对变化持理性态度也很有帮助。在这种情况下，你可以客观地分析并明智地应对。One possible version：Change is unavoidable. Accepting change is necessary and vital because only in this way can we make full use of change. Having a reasoning attitude towards change is also helpful. In that case, you can analyze it objectively and cope with it wisely.

【答案】Dear Jim,
I’d like to express my gratitude for caring about me. Sports play an important part in our daily life. As for me, I’ve had different sports experiences, which contribute to what I am today.
My passion for basketball was from James Harden. It was his graceful moves and jumps that motivated me into basketball. I miss the days when I played basketball with my teammates. Trainings and matches shape me to be more persistent and wiser. Another sport is swimming, which helps me stay healthy and in shape. I’ve been swimming for years.

A lot of my time is spent doing wildlife surveys, which means trying to figure out how many animals or fish are in a certain area.

【答案】11. harder
12. frequently
13. to help
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。在现代化技术的帮助下，人们追踪野生动物变得更简单了。
【11题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：这比简单地计算它们要困难得多，因为动物都藏得很好，经常出入我们的研究区域。由空后than可知，空处需用形容词hard的比较级harder。故填harder。
【12题详解】
考查副词。句意：同上。修饰空后动词move需用副词frequently“经常地”。故填frequently。
【13题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：我们使用所有这些信息来帮助管理这些种群。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词use，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词；结合句意和句子结构可知，空处需用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to help。
B
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

15. from 16. who##that
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了虽然人们的生活很忙碌而且从事志愿服务很不容易，但近年来，全球范围内从事志愿服务的人越来越多，在中国很多年轻人在做志愿者。
【14题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：但近年来，全球范围内从事志愿服务的青年人数显著增加。根据时间状语“in recent years”可知，句子使用现在完成时，“a significant increase”作主语，为单数意义，故填has been。
【15题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：在中国，从教育科普到动物救助、环境保护等领域，年轻人在做志愿者。该处为固定短语range from… to…，意为“在从……到……的范围内变化；从……到……（不等）”，故填from。
【16题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：你想成为服务他人并做好事的人之一吗？分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，先行词those指人并在从句中作主语，因此使用关系代词who或者that引导定语从句。故填who/that。

19. calmed 20. but

【17题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：今天我被一位女士拦住，她问我能不能帮她找回她丢失的手机。stop停止，动词作谓语；由从句谓语动词asked可知，空处谓语动词需用一般过去时；结合空后“by a lady”可知，空前主语是动作的承受者，所以空处谓语动词需用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是第一人称单数，所以空处be动词需用was。故填was stopped。
【18题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我尽了最大的努力，在她的车里和周围以及她的包里搜寻。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词did，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词；动词search与主句主语I之间是逻辑主谓关系，所以空处需用现在分词，作状语。故填searching。
【19题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：我一直陪着她，直到她冷静下来，让她用我的手机给朋友打电话。calm冷静，动词作谓语；由主句谓语动词kept可知，空处谓语动词需用一般过去时。故填calmed。
【20题详解】
考查连词。句意：我觉得我有点让她失望了，但我希望我能在她紧张的时候提供一点安慰和陪伴。结合空前后句意可知，此处表示转折关系，需用转折连词but。故填but。

B
During my early childhood years, I would spend time with my dad in Alabama, fishing and hiking through the woods.
This is where I found my first box turtle crossing a busy road. I rescued the animal out of harm’s way. Without money for after-school programs and sports, I would spend my spare time catching crawfish, frogs, and making home-made fishing poles.
I would catch small fish, put them in barrels, and use them to catch larger fish, primarily sunfish, crappie, and catfish. I moved back to Chicago in the 3rd grade and became saddened that I was unable to swim at local beaches and eat fish that were caught from Lake Michigan.
When I started having behavioral issues in elementary school, my teachers would send me to my guidance teacher Dr. Deborah Hawes to do math and science projects.
I would intentionally disrupt (扰乱) the class, knowing that I would get sent down to her office for guidance. Dr. Hawes was passionate about science and math. Her goal was to help every student realize the importance of these subjects, and how they relate to everyday living. As a result, she was able to convince me to participate in science fair project competitions.
Surprisingly, I did incredibly well at those competitions and received numerous awards throughout the city at larger competitions. It was after 8th grade that Dr. Hawes convinced me to transfer to another high school which is famous for its agricultural sciences. This by far, was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.
It was while attending this high school that I became interested in the study of environmental and animal sciences. My time here was what stimulated my interest in animal science and conservation and motivated me to continue my education in a local top university, where I was awarded a partial scholarship.
I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science in 2004. In 2008, I earned a Master of Science degree while conducting research on turtle nests. As a graduate student from 2006 to 2008, I guided high school and college students by helping them design research projects focusing on reptiles (爬行动物).
In 2009, I became the Savanna Districts first-ever Wildlife Biologist. I am stationed at one of the most visited refuges (保护区) in the nation, which attracts millions of hunters, fishermen, and other outdoor enthusiasts from across the nation.
24. What do we know about the writer?
A. He got his first box turtle on the way home.
B. He felt troubled by his behavioral problems.
C. He enjoyed the outdoor time in early childhood.
D. He refused to join after-school activities in Alabama.
25. Why did the writer like Dr. Hawes?
A. She fueled his passion for science. B. She made him realize the importance of education.
C. She helped him win a full scholarship. D. She improved his relationship with other teachers.
26. Which is the right order of the events?
a. I transferred from my former school.
b. I helped students design research projects.
c. I got the Bachelor's Degree in a famous university.
d. I performed well in science fair project competitions.
e. I became the Savanna Districts first Wildlife Biologist.
A. adbce B. dabce C. adcbe D. dacbe

I bet your grandparents never imagined they would see the day when they could plug in a car like a lamp. No more smelly gasoline (汽油)! No more waste gases polluting the atmosphere! One way to address the climate crisis, we are told, is to electrify transport. This will remove our dependence on fossil fuels like gasoline that pollute the atmosphere and trap greenhouse gases that make our planet warmer. Currently, electric vehicles make up 2 percent of the global car market. The U.S. plans to have at least half of all vehicles sold in the U.S. run completely on electricity by 2035 and stop making gas-powered cars within the next 20 years.
However, electric cars use 1-2 kg of magnets (磁体) to power them and each of these magnets uses special materials. It turns out that getting the required supplies is harder than you think. Let’s find out why.
Rare earth metals (also called Rare Earth Elements or REEs) have strong magnetic properties that make them ideal for powering many of the devices we use today, such as smartphones, computers and electric car batteries. REEs aren’t really rare, at least not in the way you might think. Even the rarest REE is 125 times more common than gold! REEs are “rare” because they are mostly found only in small quantities. Generally, they are found in a rare igneous rock (火成岩) called carbonate (碳酸盐), which contains 17 minerals — which must all be separated. The process is hard, dirty and can be very expensive. Keep in mind, however, that producing and processing are different steps. Producing is the act of mining metals; processing is the act of separating the minerals. Many countries mine carbonate including the United States, Australia, Brazil and Canada. China alone produces 63 percent of REEs today, which is down from a high of 90 percent! China now controls 85 percent of REEs processing. That is because the producing countries send their REEs to China for processing.
Electric cars are increasing in popularity with many traditional car companies introducing all-electric models. This switch will increase the demand for REEs which is prompting car companies to work directly with the mines to save costs. Many people still have concerns about the environmental effects of increased mining. Though several companies are working to go green, mining is known to have a history with known dangers such as pollution and the risk of deadly accidents. The mining of these metals is even known to produce radioactive (放射性的) wastewater!
A new chapter in climate history is possible if mining can be done safely. In fewer than a hundred years, most cars on the road will use electricity or two different types of power. The traditional cars, harmful to the environment, will be a thing of the past.
28. Why is it hard to get required supplies for electric cars?
A. Because they are not as common as gold.
B. Because the step of producing is very difficult.
C. Because they are also used in many other fields.
D. Because they are hard to separate from carbonate.
29. What can we learn from the passage?
A. There are more countries processing REEs than mining them.
B. Electric cars may get more widely used if mining can be safer.
C. Car companies prefer to seek professional teams to mine REEs.
D. Electric cars account for almost half of the global car market now.
30. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Challenges of Electric Cars B. The Future of Rare Earth Metals
C. The History of Rare Earth Metals D. The Development of Electric Cars
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要描写电动汽车面临的挑战——供电所需的磁铁很难获得。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段，尤其是“Generally, they are found in a rare igneous rock (火成岩) called carbonate (碳酸盐), which contains 17 minerals—which must all be separated. The process is hard, dirty and can be very expensive. ”（一般来说，它们是在一种罕见的火成岩碳酸盐中发现的，碳酸盐中含有17种必须全部分离的矿物。这个过程很难、很脏，而且可能非常昂贵）可知，很难获得电动车所需的供应是因为合成供电磁铁的成分很难从碳酸盐中分解出来。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A new chapter in climate history is possible if mining can be done safely. In fewer than a hundred years, most cars on the road will use electricity or two different types of power. The traditional cars, harmful to the environment, will be a thing of the past.”（如果能够安全地进行采矿，气候历史就有可能翻开新的一页。在不到一百年的时间里，道路上的大多数汽车将使用电力或两种不同类型的电力。对环境有害的传统汽车将成为过去）可知，如果采矿更安全，电动汽车可能会得到更广泛的应用。故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“It turns out that getting the required supplies is harder than you think. ”（事实证明，获得所需物资比你想象的要难）以及倒数第二段“Though several companies are working to go green, mining is known to have a history with known dangers such as pollution and the risk of deadly accidents. The mining of these metals is even known to produce radioactive (放射性的) wastewater!”（虽然有几家公司正在努力实现绿色，但众所周知，采矿业有着污染和致命事故风险等已知危险的历史。开采这些金属甚至会产生放射性废水！）以及第一题解析可知，这篇文章主要描写电动汽车面临的挑战。A项“电动车面临的挑战”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选A。
D
The term “metaverse (元宇宙)” is the latest popular word to catch the tech industry’s imagination. Neal Stephenson coined this term in his novel Snow Crash:“In the lingo, this imaginary place is known as the metaverse. Hiro spends a lot of time in the metaverse.” In its current meaning, it generally refers to the concept of a world of endless, interconnected virtual communities where people gather to socialize, play and work, using VR headsets, AR glasses, smartphone apps or other devices. It is a “virtual environment” you can go inside of — instead of just looking at on a screen. It also could be a game-changer for the work-from-home shift during the COVID-19 epidemic. Instead of seeing co-workers on a video call, employees could join them in a virtual office.
A big reason why metaverse is popular with young people is the more real gaming experience.Gamers will feel that they themselves are playing in an alternate world rather than controlling a game character.This creates a real-time experience for all the players.
In addition, it has more far-reaching significance. Some advocates believe that blockchain (区域链) technology and decentralized (分散式的) apps will be the keys to unlocking the next big step forward for the Web: the metaverse, a place where AR, VR, next-generation data networks and decentralized financing and payment systems contribute to a more realistic digital world where people can socialize, work and trade digital goods. It is known that many products need to be tested and it costs a lot. With metaverse, the variables and environment can be changed within the digital world to obtain more comprehensive results and the new product will be tested with minimum cost. In the medical field, using metaverse patients just do not have any need to visit doctors physically. They can just interact with them face to face in real-time in the digital world. Additionally, the newcomer to medicine can learn and practice inside the alternate world by gaining experience before they can take on real-world tasks.
Metaverse brings many new and advanced technologies such as VR headsets, blockchain and other requirements. However, every individual on this planet does not have access to advanced technologies. For example, fast Internet connectivity is one of the mandatory (强制性的) requirements for participating in the metaverse. Majority of people worldwide cannot access fast Internet and cannot capitalize on the full potential of the metaverse. Furthermore, with the objective of introducing immersive experiences to users, the metaverse makes the gap between real and virtual worlds less clear. It also brings the possibilities of influencing the ways in which people perceive real relationships and interactions.
Despite the arguing, metaverse is a new windfall for the future development of the Internet. The companies can seize the opportunity that the metaverse presents to connect with audiences in ways that were never possible before and provide exciting and memorable brand experiences.
31. The author mentions Neal Stephenson’s novel to show ________.
A the effect of metaverse B. the origin of metaverse
C. the definition of metaverse D. the popularity of metaverse
32. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A. To show the potential of the metaverse.
B. To state the limitations of the use of metaverse.
C. To introduce new and advanced technologies.
D. To teach how to have access to advanced technologies.
33. What can we infer about metaverse?
A. It helps people develop real relationships and interactions.
B. It provides cheaper labor cost to make product testing easier.
C. It can be accepted in medical field for its help to doctors and patients.
D. It is welcomed because people prefer to control a character in a game.
34. What is author’s attitude towards metaverse?
A. Neutral. B. Approved. C. Opposed. D. Doubtful.
【答案】31. B 32. B 33. C 34. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了什么是元宇宙以及元宇宙存带来的好处和隐患。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Neal Stephenson coined this term in his novel Snow Crash:'In the lingo, this imaginary place is known as the metaverse. Hiro spends a lot of time in the metaverse.' (尼尔·斯蒂芬森在他的小说《雪花坠落》中创造了这个词：“在行话中，这个虚构的地方被称为元宇宙。Hiro花了很多时间在元宇宙中。”)”可知作者提到尼尔·斯蒂芬森的小说来展示metaverse的起源。故选B。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“However, every individual on this planet does not have access to advanced technologies. For example, fast Internet connectivity is one of the mandatory (强制性) requirements for participating in the metaverse. Majority of people worldwide cannot access fast Internet and cannot capitalize on the full potential of the metaverse. Furthermore, with the objective of introducing immersive experiences to users, the metaverse makes the gap between real and virtual worlds less clear. It also brings the possibilities of influencing the ways in which people perceive real relationships and interactions. (然而，并不是这个星球上的每个人都有机会获得先进技术。例如，快速互联网连接是参与metaverse的强制性要求之一。全世界大多数人无法快手访问互联网，也无法充分利用metaverse的潜力。此外，为了向用户介绍身临其境的体验，metaverse使真实世界和虚拟世界之间的差距变得不那么明显。它还带来了影响人们感知真实关系和互动方式的可能性。)”可知第4段的目的是说明metaverse使用的局限性。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In the medical field, using metaverse patients just do not have any need to visit doctors physically. They can just interact with them face to face in real-time in the digital world. Additionally, the newcomer to medicine can learn and practice inside the alternate world by gaining experience before they can take on real-world tasks. (在医学领域，使用metaverse的患者根本不需要去看医生。他们可以在数字世界中与他们面对面地进行实时交互。此外，医学新手可以通过在另一个世界中学习和实践获得经验，然后承担实际任务。)”可知，由于元宇宙对医生和患者的帮助，它可以被医学界所接受。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the arguing, metaverse is a new windfall for the future development of the Internet. The companies can seize the opportunity that the metaverse presents to connect with audiences in ways that were never possible before and provide exciting and memorable brand experiences. (尽管存在争议，metaverse是互联网未来发展的一笔新横财。这些公司可以抓住metaverse提供的机会，以前所未有的方式与观众沟通，并提供令人激动和难忘的品牌体验。)”可知作者对metaverse的态度是“赞成的”，即Approved。故选B。

The television this morning was displaying some new adventure movie about the hunt for a treasure ship full of gold. ___35___ Most of main characters have the dream of becoming an overnight millionaire. Later in the day I was at the gas station in line to pay for a filling up my car when the guy in front of me traded a handful of cash for a handful of hope in the form of Lotto tickets.
Where did this desire for treasure come from? I know I myself am guilty of it. As a boy I would walk in the woods and daydream of finding buried treasure there. Then as an adult I would fantasize about some unknown relative leaving me a fortune or of my two self-published books becoming best sellers. ___36___ However, when I see all the rich and famous people on television I can see that they aren’t that happy and that they have their own unique set of problems.
___37___ There really is a true treasure out there that will make our lives so much better and the most amazing thing of all is this treasure is absolutely free. This treasure is love. There is so much love around us and when we invite the love into our hearts and lives we become rich, our days are filled with smiles, and our lives are full of joy. When we have love inside us, the problems of this life lose their power over us. ___38___
Then how shall we look for treasure? The true treasure of life is already inside of you. ___39___ And the funny thing is that the more you share it with others, the more of it you have within yourself. Embrace love for you then. Share it with the world. It is a treasure that does not decay or disappear. It is a treasure that lasts forever.
A. While our lives may not be perfect, we are happy.
B. You just need to open the chest and spend it like crazy.
C. It doesn’t necessarily mean we need to dig holes to find treasure.
D. Maybe the real problem is that we are all looking for the wrong treasure.
E. It reminded me of all the other movies just like it I had seen over the years.
F. Treasure is usually defined as gathered wealth in the form of money or jewels.
G. Perhaps we all just think that having a lot of money will solve all of our problems.
【答案】35. E 36. G 37. D 38. A 39. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了人们都认为有很多钱就能解决我们所有的问题，所以将金钱作为追寻的宝藏。但作者认为真正的宝藏是内心的爱。
【35题详解】
根据上文“The television this morning was displaying some new adventure movie about the hunt for a treasure ship full of gold.(今天早上电视播放了一些新的冒险电影，是关于寻找装满金子的宝船的)”以及下文“Most of main characters have the dream of becoming an overnight millionaire. (大多数主角都梦想一夜成为百万富翁)”可知，本句应承上启下，说明这部电影带给作者的感受：让我想起了这么多年来我看过的所有其他电影。故E选项“它让我想起了这么多年来我看过的所有其他电影”符合语境，故选E。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Where did this desire for treasure come from? I know I myself am guilty of it. As a boy I would walk in the woods and daydream of finding buried treasure there. Then as an adult I would fantasize about some unknown relative leaving me a fortune or of my two self-published books becoming best sellers.(这种寻宝的欲望从何而来？我知道我自己也有罪。小时候，我常在树林里散步，幻想着在那里找到埋藏的宝藏。成年后，我会幻想某个不知名的亲戚给我留下一笔财富，或者我自己出版的两本书成为畅销书)”以及后文“However, when I see all the rich and famous people on television I can see that they aren’t that happy and that they have their own unique set of problems.(然而，当我在电视上看到所有的富人和名人时，我可以看到他们并不那么快乐，他们有自己独特的问题)”可知，后文提到富人和名人也有自己的问题，说明钱并不能解决所有问题，本句与后文构成转折，故G选项“也许我们都认为有很多钱就能解决我们所有的问题”符合语境，故选G。
【37题详解】
根据后文“There really is a true treasure out there that will make our lives so much better and the most amazing thing of all is this treasure is absolutely free. This treasure is love.(真的有一个真正的宝藏在那里，它会让我们的生活变得更好，最令人惊讶的是，这个宝藏是绝对免费的。这个宝藏就是爱)”可知，后文提到了真正的宝藏是爱，说明上文提到的将金钱作为宝藏是错误的，故D选项“也许真正的问题是我们都在寻找错误的宝藏”符合语境，故选D。
【38题详解】
根据上文“There is so much love around us and when we invite the love into our hearts and lives we become rich, our days are filled with smiles, and our lives are full of joy. When we have love inside us, the problems of this life lose their power over us.(我们周围有太多的爱，当我们邀请爱进入我们的心和生活，我们变得丰富，我们的日子充满了微笑，我们的生活充满了欢乐。当我们心中有爱时，生活中的问题就会失去对我们的影响)”可知，上文提到生活中存在问题，即并不完美，但爱可以让人很幸福。故A选项“虽然我们的生活可能不完美，但我们很幸福”符合语境，故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Then how shall we look for treasure? The true treasure of life is already inside of you.(那我们怎么找宝藏呢？真正的生命宝藏已经在你体内)”以及后文“And the funny thing is that the more you share it with others, the more of it you have within yourself.(有趣的是，你和别人分享的越多，你自己也会拥有越多)”可知，上文提到生命宝藏已经存在体内，后文提到和别人分享，即要打开心扉和他人共享宝藏。故B选项“你只需要打开心扉，疯狂地分享它”符合语境，故选B。

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
A Reflection about Change
Change can be exciting and hard. It is also a fact of life in the world of education. I am a librarian at a high school. I have worked as a librarian for the past eleven years. This year my school is going through a tremendous transition. There is a new school building being constructed with a mid-year move planned. Additionally, due to some restructuring, I am working with a new teaching partner and two new grade levels. This is all incredibly exciting but also brings a level of uncertainty too. I could look at this in a negative way, but instead, I am going to focus on the upside to this transition. So here I share some ways I am embracing this change.
Working with teachers, that I have not had an opportunity to work with before, will allow me to gain new perspectives about the needs of the students in my school. The library program has been something I have worked hard to build over the past nine years. I am very close to it. It will be helpful for someone who has an outside perspective to ask questions about our practices. It will allow me to reflect on why we do certain things and will make the program better moving forward.
As I gain new perspectives from my colleagues, I also have an opportunity to share the mission of the library. It has given me a chance to highlight some of the great lessons and projects I have had the opportunity to be a part of in the past.
Is this a hill I want to die on? This is about recognizing the things that I can change and making those work rather than worrying about things that I have no control over. It is about not sweating the small stuff. If I ask myself this question and the answer is no, then I have to let it go and move on!
One of my wonderful colleagues, Cheri Dobbs, told me to give myself permission for things not to be perfect. Next year will be a year of growth. The library program will not be exactly like what we want it to be. That is OK! As long as we stay true to our goals and support students the best we can, then the rest will come together eventually.
40. What changes are happening to the author this year?
41 What will the author get from someone who has an outside perspective?
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
To deal with change, we should work on the things that we can change and try our best to make the things we have no control over under control.
43. Besides the opinions mentioned in the passage, what are your thoughts on change? (In about 40 words)
【答案】40. The author is working with a new teaching partner and two new grade levels.
41. The author will reflect on why he/she does certain things and will make the program better moving forward.
42. To deal with changes, we should work on the things that we can change and try our best to make the things we have no control over under control. Because there is no need to try our best to make the things that we have no control over and we’d better to do something within our control.
43. One possible version: Change is unavoidable. Accepting change is necessary and vital because only in this way can we make full use of change. Having a reasoning attitude towards change is also helpful. In that case, you can analyze it objectively and cope with it wisely.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要描写作者关于变化的反思。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“Additionally, due to some restructuring, I am working with a new teaching partner and two new grade levels.”(此外，由于一些重组，我正在与一个新的教学伙伴一起工作，并且教两个新的年级。)可知，作者今年面临着新的工作调整，即正在与一个新的教学伙伴一起工作，教两个新的年级。故答案为The author is working with a new teaching partner and two new grade levels.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“It will allow me to reflect on why we do certain things and will make the program better moving forward.”(这将使我能够思考我们为什么要做某些事情，并将使该计划更好地向前推进。)可知，作者从这些人身上学到思考一些事情，更好地推进计划。故答案为The author will reflect on why he/she does certain things and will make the program better moving forward.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“This is about recognizing the things that I can change and making those work rather than worrying about things that I have no control over.”(这是关于认识到我可以改变的事情并使其发挥作用，而不是担心我无法控制的事情。)可知，我们不应该去担心我们无法掌控的的事，故“try our best to make the things we have no control over under control”(尽最大努力使我们无法控制的事情得到控制。)部分有误。故答案为To deal with changes, we should work on the things that we can change and try our best to make the things we have no control over under control.

开放题，答案不唯一。题干问的是除了文章中提到的观点，你对改变有什么看法？答案言之有理即可，参考答案：改变是不可避免的，接受变化是必要和重要的，因为只有这样我们才能充分利用变化。对变化持理性态度也很有帮助。在这种情况下，你可以客观地分析并明智地应对。One possible version：Change is unavoidable. Accepting change is necessary and vital because only in this way can we make full use of change. Having a reasoning attitude towards change is also helpful. In that case, you can analyze it objectively and cope with it wisely.

【答案】Dear Jim,
I’d like to express my gratitude for caring about me. Sports play an important part in our daily life. As for me, I’ve had different sports experiences, which contribute to what I am today.
My passion for basketball was from James Harden. It was his graceful moves and jumps that motivated me into basketball. I miss the days when I played basketball with my teammates. Trainings and matches shape me to be more persistent and wiser. Another sport is swimming, which helps me stay healthy and in shape. I’ve been swimming for years. Every time I finish swimming, I feel refreshed and energetic.
All in all, my experiences with sports have aroused my potential and greatly impacted my life in many ways. I hope you can also keep fit and energetic.
Yours,
Li Hua
