（2022春·山东临沂·高二统考期末）Gutiérrez’s life changed after finding a copy of Anna Karenina in the trash (垃圾) 20 years ago. It happened one night when he saw discarded books while driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods. It ignited his desire to start rescuing books from the trash. He took home about 50 books every morning after his night shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families.

Bogota, Colombia’s capital, has 19 public libraries. However, they are far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is out of reach for families struggling to make ends meet. Gutiérrez’s community library is a true representation of how one man’s trash can be another’s treasure. “I don’t think I’m doing something so great. The library is simply a bridge between people who throw books and those who have no access to books,” he said about his remarkable efforts.

Today, his library, called “the Strength of Words”, contains over 20,000 books and occupies most of his home. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection. The library is open every weekend, when neighborhood children pour in. “The whole value of the library lies in helping kids start reading. This is important for kids in Bogota where many young people kill time in the streets and fall victim to vices such as taking drugs,” said Gutiérrez.

Gutiérrez grew up poor, and his family couldn’t afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, he never lets a lack of formal education stop him from reading. “Books are the greatest invention of human beings. There’s nothing more beautiful than having a book handy,” Guiérrez said. His journey to giving back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us by identifying needs, investing time and finding a simple solution.

24．What does the underlined word “ignited” mean in the first paragraph?

A．Indicated. B．Satisfied. C．Limited. D．Stimulated.

25．Which of the following can best describe Gutérrez?

A．Caring and humble. B．Smart and independent.

C．Traditional and self-disciplined. D．Ambitious and easy-going.

26．What do paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly tell us?

A．Bogota’s main social problems.            B．The library’s rich variety of books.

C．The bad habits of Bogota’s young people.    D．The library’s significance for the neighborhood.

27．What message does Gutiérrez’s story deliver?

A．Education is the key to success.                B．All things are difficult before they are easy.

C．Small acts of kindness make a big difference.     D．Books are the food for the hungry of great mind.

（2022春·广东中山·高二统考期末）Livestreaming is a kind of e-commerce and marketing and sales method. It combines live product demonstrations, time-limited pricing promotions, live negotiations, and instant ordering through online streaming services hosted either by an influencer studio, or online store.

Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing. There are certain factors that will increase the chance of success.

Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers. Specifically, brands could better demonstrate their products in this way, tell fuller brand stories, introduce emotional and cultural elements to their products, obtain instant feedback, conduct product trials, improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing, use different livestream hosts to build a bridge for the consumers and cultivate brand loyalty.

Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks, however. For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands parading the before-and-after effects of health products. The restrictions are not clear yet for internet-based livestreaming, and health products are frequently promoted by livestreamers. We need to continue to monitor regulatory updates carefully.

As promoting products through live-streaming has been compared to “tuning clicks into cash,” some people have made illegal profits by creating false prosperity. Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can falsify their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money. Meanwhile, live-streams have also faced issues like the return, refund and exchange of products.

28．What does the author advise the brands to do with Livestreaming?

A．To achieve as much sales as possible.

B．To focus more on brand marketing.

C．To remove barriers between brands and consumers.

D．To build a bridge between consumers and government.

29．What does the underlined word “parading” probably mean?

A．Overstating B．Comparing C．Displaying D．Describing

30．How do live streamers create false prosperity?

A．By promoting the products as hard as possible. B．By creating fake comments and shares.

C．By speaking highly of the brands and firms. D．By refusing the exchange and the refund of products.

31．What’s the author’s attitude towards Livestreaming?

A．Supportive B．Neutral C．Critical D．Doubtful

NASA will crash a spacecraft into an asteroid (小行星) to try to change its orbit, attempting to prevent humans going the same way as the dinosaurs.

Earth is constantly being disturbed by small pieces of debris (碎片), but they usually burn up or break up long before they hit the ground. Once in a while, however, something large enough to do significant damage makes impact. About 66 million years ago, one such crash is thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs. Someday, something similar could end human beings-unless we can find a way to tackle it.

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (Dart) mission is the first attempt to test if such asteroid redirection is a realistic strategy: investigating whether a spacecraft can autonomously reach a target asteroid and intentionally crash into it, as well as measuring the amount of redirection. “If it works, it would be a big deal, because it would prove that we have the technical capability of protecting ourselves,” said Jay Tate, the director of the National Near Earth Object Information Center.

The 610kg Dart spacecraft is scheduled to be launched at the target—the Didymos system-a harmless pair of asteroids consisting of a 163-metre “moonlet” asteroid called Dimorphos that orbits a larger 780-metre asteroid called Didymos (Greek for “twin”). The plan is to crash the spacecraft into Dimorphos when the asteroid system is at its closest to Earth-about 6.8 million miles away.

About 10 days before the impact, a miniaturized satellite called LiciaCube will separate from the main spacecraft, enabling images of the impact to be relayed back to Earth. Combined with observations from ground-based telescopes, and an onboard camera that will record the final moments before the crash, these recordings will enable scientists to calculate the degree to which the impact has changed Dimorphos’s orbit. The expectation is that it will change the speed of the smaller asteroid by approximately 1% and reduce its orbit around the larger asteroid.

Then, in November 2024, the European Space Agency’s Hera spacecraft will visit the Didymos system and conduct a further close-up analysis of the consequences of this snooker (斯诺克) game, recording details such as the precise makeup and internal structure of Dimorphos, and the size and shape of the hole left by Dart. Such details are vital for transforming asteroid redirection into a repeatable technique.

Even then, it is impossible that any single redirection strategy would be enough. “The problem is that no two asteroids or comets are alike, and how you redirect one depends on a huge number of variables. There is no silver bullet in this game. What you need is a whole folder of different redirection methods for different types of targets,” said Tate.

So, while this may be one small step towards planetary protection, many more are likely to be necessary to avoid destruction.

32．What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?

A．To examine the impact of dinosaurs’ extinction.

B．To explain the necessity of NASA’s Dart mission.

C．To show the damage caused by small pieces of debris.

D．To highlight the crisis threatening human beings at present.

33．Which of the following pictures illustrates the mission?

A． B．

C． D．

34．What is the function of LiciaCube?

A．Sending impact data back to Earth.

B．Calculating the length of Dimorphos’s orbit.

C．Helping the satellite separate from the spacecraft.

D．Recording the scientists’ ground-based observations.

35．What does the underlined sentence “There is no silver bullet in this game” mean?

A．There is no challenge too big to overcome.

B．There is no possibility to satisfy NASA’s needs.

C．There is no single solution to the complex problem.

D．There is no strategy to help make an obvious decision.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

（2022春·湖北·高二期末联考）It was a Friday afternoon. In Brooklyn Junior Middle School, the bell indicating the end of the last class threw the whole classroom into chaos. All the boys and girls started packing their school bags, chattering with each other about their exciting plans for the long-anticipated weekend at the same time.

Miss Helen, the headteacher, stepped into the noisy classroom. She quieted the kids, assigned the homework and added: “The first teacher-parent meeting of this term will take place tomorrow morning. Please...”

Bill’s heart sank.

Bill was a 12-year-old boy in Grade 7. His father was a sailor. He had to work at sea most of the year and did not get home often. However, this didn’t make Bill an eccentric (性格古怪的) and withdrawn boy.

As a matter of fact, at school, Bill was a typical student favored by all the teachers in his class. He was never late for school, always active in class, always polite to the teachers and always friendly and helpful towards his classmates, not to mention his outstanding academic performance.

It was all because of his kind, considerate and devoted mum, a perfect mum in Bill’s eyes, except for one thing: She walked with a pronounced limp (跛行). Bill remembered when young, maybe about 3 or 4 years old, he once asked her mum about it, but his mum just smiled and told him she was born like this. Bill loved his mum very much but he seldom went out with his mum. He just hated it when others eyed, whispered or inquired about that, curiously, kindly or sympathetically.

And now, this would be the first time for his new classmates and teachers to meet his mother and he would be embarrassed by her appearance.

That evening, Bill called his father and complained about his absence and the upcoming meeting.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

On the line came his father’s deep voice: “Bill, you are a BIG boy now and I think it’s time to tell you the truth.”______________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The next morning, when the first ray of sunshine slipped into his room, Bill woke up.___________________
