North Americans value independence, and Europeans value togetherness. I never fully understood that stereotype until two months ago, when I left Canada for a 4-month period in a lab in France. On my first day, Pierre, a Ph. D. student, tapped me on my shoulder and asked: “Coffee?” I nodded and followed him to the common room, where other grad students were filling in. I sat there, cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air.
Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But mostly, the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down, to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who understand what you’re going through.
The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada, where I spent most of my workdays in isolation. I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch, I’d keep my eyes glued to my computer while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth, trying to power through my to-do list. For 9 months, I struggled to figure out why I couldn’t exactly copy the results of another study. I didn’t want to trouble my advisor too much. I was also hesitant to ask my labmates for help.
How much we were missing! Researchers need community because good ideas don’t just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts. It’s helpful to bounce ideas off others, and, to have a venue to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life.
Would coffee breaks have solved all my problems? Probably not. But I think sharing ideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dilemma. My time in France has taught me that it’s important to create space for organic conversations about lab life. A scientist’s life can feel isolating, but it’s not necessarily so when you’re connected to a supportive community.
4. How did the author feel when he drank coffee for the first time in France?
A. A little nervous. B. Very happy.
C. Somewhat excited. D. Quite curious.
5. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Cultural ceremonies in France. B. Various topics of the chatter.
C. Coffee breaks in French lab culture. D. Lab culture in French style.
6 What was the author’s life like back in Canada?
A. Comfortable and fulfilled. B. Busy and lonely.
C. Tense but satisfactory. D. Boring but healthy.
7. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To introduce the coffee break in Europe.
B. To explain the difference between cultures.
C. To recall his personal experience in France.
D. To convey the importance of a supportive circle.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者在加拿大和法国不同的工作生活，强调有一个支持性团体的重要性。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“I sat there, cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air.(我坐在那里，小心翼翼地啜饮着这种苦涩的液体，努力不让自己流露出没教养的品味，而实验室里的闲聊却满天飞)”可知，当作者第一次在法国喝咖啡时他有点紧张。故选A。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But mostly, the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down, to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who understand what you’re going through.(咖啡休息时间是这里实验室文化的礼仪部分。闲聊有时会转向严肃的科学话题。但最重要的是，这些会面提供了一个放松的机会，可以分享实验室内外的生活故事，并与理解你经历的人产生共鸣)”可知，第二段主要是讲法国实验室文化中的咖啡休息时间的好处。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada, where I spent most of my workdays in isolation.(轻松的氛围和社区感与我在加拿大的生活形成了鲜明的对比，在那里我大部分的工作日都是独自一人度过的)”可知，“我”在加拿大的生活很孤独，根据第三段第三句“At lunch, I’d keep my eyes glued to my computer while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth, trying to power through my to-do list.(午餐时，我的眼睛盯着电脑，一边大口大口地吃着沙拉，一边努力完成我的待办事项清单)”可知，“我”在加拿大的生活很忙碌。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“A scientist’s life can feel isolating, but it’s not necessarily so when you’re connected to a supportive
community.(科学家的生活可能会让人感到孤立，但当你与一个支持你的团体联系时，情况就不一定如此了)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了传达支持性社交圈的重要性。故选D。
C
A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. A BioBlitz is also known as a biological inventory (清单) or biological census (统计). The primary goal of a BioBlitz is to get an overall count of the plants, animals, and other organisms that live in a place.
A BioBlitz differs from a scientific inventory in a number of ways. Scientific inventories are usually limited to biologists, geographers, and other scientists. A BioBlitz brings together volunteer scientists, as well as families, students, teachers, and other members of the community. While a scientific survey often focuses on unique or isolated areas, BioBlitzes focus on areas that are connected to residential, urban, and industrial areas. Finally, scientific surveys may take a long period of time to conduct. A BioBlitz lasts a short period of time, traditionally 24 hours.
These differences make a BioBlitz a unique biological survey that encourages a relationship between the natural and human communities of a given area. Citizens work alongside scientists to learn about the biological diversity of local natural spaces. In the process, they gain skills and knowledge and develop a stronger connection to their home environment. A BioBlitz promotes and improves local natural spaces by empowering citizens to better understand and protect biodiversity.
Hundreds of BioBlitzes have been conducted all over the world, primarily in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. The first BioBlitz was sponsored by the National Park Service and the National Biological Service in Washington D.C.’s Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens in 1996. Surrounded by heavy residential and industrial development, Kenilworth Park was thought to have very little biological diversity. Scientists, however, tallied more than 900 species that first year and added even more species to their list at continuous Kenilworth BioBlitzes.
8. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 2?
A. A BioBlitz either needs much time or short time.
B. A BioBlitz centers on unique or isolated areas.
C. A BioBlitz needs much fewer people involved.
D. A BioBlitz is different from scientific inventories.
9. What is the significance of a BioBlitz?
A. To get a better understanding of wildlife around the world.
B. To give some assistance to the endangered animals and plants.
C. To increase citizens’ awareness of protecting the local biodiversity.
D. To raise money for the living conditions of the wild animals around.
10. What does the underlined word “tallied” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Expected. B. Missed. C. Helped. D. Listed.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Challenges BioBlitzes Will Face
B. BioBlitz, a Unique Biological Survey
C. BioBlitzes and Scientific Inventories
D. The Way a BioBlitz Protects the Environment
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是生物限时寻的特点和意义。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段内容，结合第一句段落主题句“A BioBlitz differs from a scientific inventory in a number of ways.(生物限时寻与科学清单在很多方面都有所不同。)”可知，本段主要讲述了生物限时寻和科学清单的三个不同之处，故作者在第二段想告诉我们生物限时寻不同于科学清单。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“These differences make a BioBlitz a unique biological survey that encourages a relationship between the natural and human communities of a given area. Citizens work alongside scientists to learn about the biological diversity of local natural spaces. In the process, they gain skills and knowledge and develop a stronger connection to their home environment. A BioBlitz promotes and improves local natural spaces by empowering citizens to better understand and protect biodiversity.(这些差异使“生物限时寻”成为一项独特的生物调查，鼓励在特定地区建立自然和人类社区之间的关系。市民与科学家一起工作，了解当地自然空间的生物多样性。在这个过程中，他们获得了技能和知识，并与家庭环境建立了更强的联系。生物限时寻通过赋予公民更好地理解和保护生物多样性的能力，促进和改善当地的自然空间。)”可知，生物限时寻的意义是提高市民保护本地生物多样性的意识。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“more than 900 species that first year and added even more species to their list at continuous Kenilworth BioBlitzes(第一年900多个物种，并在连续的Kenilworth生物限时寻中增加了更多的物种)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“科学家在第一年统计了900多个物种，并在连续的Kenilworth生物限时寻中增加了更多的物种”可知，也就是列出了900多个物种，划线词tallied意为“列出”，和listed意思相近，故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. A BioBlitz is also known as a biological inventory (清单) or biological census (统计). The primary goal of a BioBlitz is to get an overall count of the plants, animals, and other organisms that live in a place.(“生物限时寻”指的是在短时间内，在一个特定地区发现并识别尽可能多的物种。生物限时寻也被称为生物清单或生物普查。生物限时寻的主要目标是获得生活在一个地方的植物、动物和其他生物的总体数量。)”和倒数第二段的“These differences make a BioBlitz a unique biological survey that encourages a relationship between the natural and human communities of a given area.(这些差异使“生物限时寻”成为一项独特的生物调查，鼓励在特定地区建立自然和人类社区之间的关系。)”可知，本文主要讲的是生物限时寻的特别之处和重大意义，因此本文最好的题目是B选项“BioBlitz, a Unique Biological Survey(生物限时寻，一项独特的生物调查)”，故选B。
D
As we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, shown by recent well-known layoffs and a culture of “quiet quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a scary prospect.
Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally skilled workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth.
Likewise, at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. There’s good reason for this focus: if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats, they risk going backwards. And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently.
Well, we should change in order to help attract and keep a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to enhance their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers.
To make this all happen, leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can
be an impressive motivator in the workplace.
Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are paramount, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to ignore the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To exploit the technology to its full potential, such qualities are equally important.
Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be vital if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those experts in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities.
12. What is the writer’s main concern in the digital transformation process?
A. The threats from technology. B. The challenge of upskilling workforces.
C. The culture of “quiet quitting”. D. The shortage of experienced workers.
13. What can be learned from Paragraph 4 and 5?
A. Replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key.
B. High requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce.
C. Employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces.
D. Business leaders should focus on the training of the existing talent pool.
14. What does the underlined word “paramount” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Important. B. Beneficial.
C. Challenging. D. Inspiring.
15. What might be the purpose of the passage?
A. To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills.
B. To warn humans of the potential problems with technology.
C. To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills.
D. To draw people’s attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述企业在数字化转型过程中要关注劳动力技能的提高，也不能忽视数字化转型所需的其他能力，强调硬技能和软技能结合的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about
whether we have a digitally skilled workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth.(例如，随着每一项令人兴奋的新技术的出现，人们越来越担心我们是否有一支拥有数字技能的劳动力队伍准备好利用它。毕竟，让员工跟上最新进展是数字化转型过程的关键要素，如果我们希望在实现持续增长的同时提高业务生产力和效率，这将证明至关重要。)”可知，在数字化转型过程中，作者最关心的是提高劳动力技能的挑战。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to enhance their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers.(此外，当涉及到参与和授权当前劳动力时，学习和发展机会将是关键，帮助员工提高他们的技能，从而使他们自己和雇主都受益。)”和第五段的“Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace.(创造一种学习的文化，强调个人成长，可以成为一个令人印象深刻的工作场所的动力。)”可知，雇主应该在员工内部培养一种学习文化。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be vital if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those experts in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities.(从根本上说，如果企业要取得成功，正确处理人与技术之间的互动将至关重要。因此，人类的技能绝不能被低估。每个企业都需要一系列具备各种技能的人才——不仅是那些数学、工程和科学方面的专家，还需要那些具有创造性思维和领导才能的人。)”可知，划线词所在的句子表示“当然，数字技能是最重要的”，划线词paramount意思是“重要的”，和important意思相近。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其倒数第二段“Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are paramount, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to ignore the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership.(当然，数字技能是最重要的，这是很好的说法，但仅仅拥有硬技能的员工并不能保证企业的未来发展。我们需要软技能来支持更广泛的目标，这样就不会忽视数字化转型所需的其他能力：沟通、批判性思维、创造性设计技能和领导能力。)”可推知，
文章的目的是讲述企业在数字化转型过程中要关注劳动力技能的提高，也不能忽视数字化转型所需的其他能力，强调硬技能和软技能结合的重要性。故选C。

A Wonder Plant
Every rainy season, the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Central Africa migrate to the foothills and lower parts of the Virunga Mountains to feed on bamboo. For the 650 or so that remain in the wild, it’s a vital food source. ___16___ Gorillas aren’t the only locals keen on bamboo. For the people near the mountains, it’s a valuable raw material used for building houses and making household items. But in the past 100 years, resources have come under increasing pressure as populations have exploded and large areas of bamboo forest have been cleared to make way for farms.
___17___ All over the world, the ranges of many bamboo species appear to be reducing, endangering the people and animals that depend upon them. A report published by the UN Environment Programme has revealed just how profound our ignorance of global bamboo resources is.
Bamboo is a wonder plant. Its ecological role extends beyond providing food and habitat for animals. Bamboo tends to grow in stands made up of groups of individual plants that grow from root systems. Its extensive root systems are crucial in preventing water loss and soil erosion.___18___ In India 25% of paper produced is made from bamboo fiber, and in Brazil, 100,000 hectares of bamboo are grown for its production. Because of its flexibility and strength, it has traditionally been used in construction. Bamboo is often the only readily available raw material for people in many developing countries.
___19___ Ray Townsend, vice president of the British Bamboo Society, says, “Some plants are threatened because they can’t survive in the habitat—they aren’t strong enough or there aren’t enough of them, perhaps. But bamboo can take care of itself-it is strong enough to survive if left alone.___20___” When forest goes, it is transformed into something else: there isn’t anywhere for forest plants such as bamboo to grow if you create a cattle grass land.
A. Sadly, this isn’t a single story.
B. It is the physical disturbance that is the threat to bamboo.
C. Until now, bamboo has been viewed as a second-class plant.
D. Without it, their chances of survival would be reduced significantly.
E. Besides, bamboo’s most immediate significance lies in its economic value.
F. More than a billion people rely on bamboo for either their shelter or income.
G. Despite bamboo’s value in economy and ecology, its situation is all the more worrying.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. E 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章叙述的是关于竹子的用途以及这种植物现在面临的严峻形势。
【16题详解】
根据上句提示For the 650 or so that remain in the wild, it’s a vital food source.（对于在野外生存的650个左右的大猩猩来说，它是一个重要的食物来源。）承接上文，D项Without it, their chances of survival would be reduced significantly.（没有它，他们的生存机会就会大大减少。）切题。该项中的Without it,---would be reduced与上文的a vital food source对应，故D项正确。
【17题详解】
此空是段落首句，根据下文All over the world, the ranges of many bamboo species appear to be reducing, endangering the people and animals that depend upon them.（在世界各地，许多竹子的种类似乎正在减少，危及到依赖它们的人和动物。），再根据上文large areas of bamboo forest have been cleared可知，A项Sadly, this isn’t a single story.（可悲的是，这并不是一个单一的故事。）承上启下，故A项正确。
【18题详解】
根据上文提示Its extensive root systems are crucial in preventing water loss and soil erosion.（其广泛的根系对于防止水土流失至关重要。）再根据下文提示In India 25% of paper produced is made from bamboo fiber, and in Brazil, 100,000 hectares of bamboo are grown for its production.（在印度，25%的纸是用竹纤维制成的，而在巴西，10万公顷的竹子是用来生产纸的。）承接上下文，E项Besides, bamboo’s most immediate significance lies in its economic value.（此外，竹子最直接的意义在于它的经济价值。）该项和上下文都是在讲竹子的用途，故E项正确。
【19题详解】
根据下文Ray Townsend, vice president of the British Bamboo Society, says, “Some plants are threatened because they can’t survive in the habitat—they aren’t strong enough or there aren’t enough of them, perhaps.（英国竹子协会的副主席Ray Townsend说：“一些植物受到了威胁，因为它们无法在栖息地生存——它们不够强壮，或者它们的数量不够。）可知，本空讲述竹子现在状况不好， G项Despite bamboo’s value in economy and ecology, its situation is all the more worrying.（尽管竹子在经济和生态方面有价值，但它的情况更令人担忧。）切题。
【20题详解】
根据上句提示But bamboo can take care of itself-it is strong enough to survive if left alone.（
但是竹子可以自己照顾它自己——如果它能独立生存，它就足够强壮了。）再根据下文提示When forest goes, it is transformed into something else: there isn’t anywhere for forest plants such as bamboo to grow if you create a cattle grass land.（当森林消失时，它就变成了另一种东西：如果你创造了一个牛草地，就没有任何地方可以种植像竹子这样的森林植物。）承接上下文，B项It is the physical disturbance that is the threat to bamboo.（对竹子的威胁是破坏竹子躯干。）切题，也就是让竹子独自生存就是保护它，对竹子的威胁是砍掉它。

One summer afternoon, when I was about eight years of age, I was looking at a beautiful rainbow. Somebody said, “If you should go to the ___21___ of the rainbow, you would find there great pots of gold and silver.” Without ___22___, I rushed from the house, and set off toward the woods.
I was so sure that I knew just ___23___ that rainbow ended. I remembered how glad and proud I was in my thoughts, and what fine presents I promised to all my friends out of my ___24___. So thinking and laying delightful plans, almost before I knew it I had ___25___ the thick forest, and the end of the rainbow was not there! ___26___ I saw it shining down among the trees a little farther off; so on and on I ___27___, through the thick bushes and ___28___ rapid streams. The woods grew thicker and darker, and the ground wetter. Suddenly I met in my way a ___29___ porcupine (豪猪), who made himself still larger when he saw me. Fearing that he would attack me, I ran from him as fast as my ___30___ feet would carry me. In my ___31___ and hurry I forgot to keep my eye on the rainbow, and when, at last, I ___32___ and looked for it, it was nowhere in sight! It had quite ___33___ away. I burst into tears, for I had lost all my ___34___ and had nothing to show for my pilgrimage (朝圣之旅) but muddy feet and a wet and torn body.
But I soon found that my ___35___ had only begun: I was lost! I could not tell which was east or west, but ___36___ about here and there, crying and calling, though I knew that no one could ___37___ me. All at once I heard my nickname called, so I jumped up. It was my eldest brother. He hugged and kissed away all my tears, and then he told me what the rainbow___38___ is: “It is only painted air, and does not ___39___ on the earth. But it tells us something more. When you set off on a pilgrimage, you will be ___40___ by the rainbow through all the dark places of this world to treasures in your heart, better, far better, than silver or gold.”

Apply for a foreign university is a huge project. Here is my experience. I did voluntary work in Grade One. I listed all of my achievement and the voluntary work I have done. After completing the online admission process, I took a deep breath and dreamed about our dream college. However, except offer from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), I total got eight rejections. One day, I locked myself in my room but thought about what I had done. Finally I understood that I could learn nothing from the experience even though those rejections were made me sad. I accepted the UCSD’s offer and adjusted myself quickly. For this attitude, everything I saw of UCSD thrilled me.
【答案】1.Apply→Applying
2.achievement→achievements
3.have→had
4.our→my
5.在offer前加an/the
6.total→totally
7.but→and
8.nothing→something
9.去掉made前的were
10.For→With
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了作者申请一所外国大学的经历。
【详解】1.考查动名词。句意：申请国外大学是一项浩大的工程。句中要用动名词Applying作主语，动名词表示抽象的、一般性行为，故将Apply改为Applying。
2.考查名词的复数。句意：我列出了我所有的成就和我所做的志愿工作。由all可知，可数名词achievement要用复数，故将achievement改为achievements。
3.考查时态。句意：我列出了我所有的成就和我所做的志愿工作。“我”做志愿工作发生在listed之前，因此“做志愿工作”用过去完成时，即had done，故将have改为had。
4.考查物主代词。句意：完成网上录取流程后，我深吸了一口气，开始憧憬我的梦想大学。根据语境可知，句子表示“完成网上录取流程后，我深吸了一口气，开始憧憬我的梦想大学”，“我的”用形容词性物主代词my，修饰dream college，故将our改为my。
5.考查冠词。句意：但是，除了加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）的主动提议的机会，我一共被拒绝了8次。offer是可数名词的单数形式，此处可理解为表泛指，前面加不定冠词，offer是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an；也可理解为特指加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）的offer，offer前加定冠词the表特指，故在offer前加an/the。
6.考查副词。句意：但是，除了加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）的主动提议的机会，我一共被拒绝了8次。修饰动词got要用副词totally作状语，故将total改为totally。
7.考查连词。句意：有一天，我把自己锁在房间里，想着我做了什么。“I locked myself in my room”和“thought about what I had done”之间是并列关系，应该用并列连词and连接两句话，故将but改为and。
8.考查复合不定代词。句意：最后我明白了，我可以从这些经历中学到一些东西，尽管那些拒绝让我很难过。根据语境可知，句子表示“最后我明白了，我可以从这些经历中学到一些东西，尽管那些拒绝让我很难过”，“一些东西”是something，故将nothing改为something。
9.考查语态。句意：最后我明白了，我可以从这些经历中学到一些东西，尽管那些拒绝让我很难过。根据语境可知，句子表示“那些拒绝让我很难过”，是主动的动作，句子用主动语态，made前的were是多余的，故去掉made前的were。
10.考查介词。句意：抱着这样的态度，我在加州大学圣地亚哥分校看到的一切都让我激动不已。根据语境可知，句子表示“有这样的态度”，用介词with表示“有着”，故将For改为With。

Li Hua
【答案】Dear Peter,
Knowing that you are conducting a survey of the housework that high school students do at home, I’m writing to inform you about what I do.
Although my school schedule is rather tight, I still manage to help with the housework from time to time. Not only do I wash dishes after dinner, but I also deal with other things like sweeping the floor and taking out the trash.
I hold the opinion that high school students should do some housework. For one thing, it is by doing housework that we learn to shoulder responsibility. For another, I find the time spent doing housework with my parents really fun and rewarding.
I hope that what I mentioned above will be of great use to your survey.
Yours,
Li Hua
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求考生给英国朋友Peter回一封邮件，介绍自己做家务的情况和对高中生做家务的看法。
【详解】1.词汇积累
实施：conduct→carry out
调查：survey→research
有时：from time to time=at intervals
有益的：rewarding→beneficial
2.句式拓展
简单句变复合句
原句：For another, I find the time spent doing housework with my parents really fun and rewarding.
拓展句：For another, I find the time which is spent doing housework with my parents really fun and rewarding.
【点睛】[高分句型1] Knowing that you are conducting a survey of the housework that high school students do at home, I’m writing to inform you about what I do. (运用了现在分词作状语和that引导的定语从句)
[高分句型2] Not only do I wash dishes after dinner, but I also deal with other things like sweeping the floor and taking out the trash. (运用了部分倒装)
[高分句型3] For one thing, it is by doing housework that we learn to shoulder responsibility. (运用了it强调句句式)

North Americans value independence, and Europeans value togetherness. I never fully understood that stereotype until two months ago, when I left Canada for a 4-month period in a lab in France. On my first day, Pierre, a Ph. D. student, tapped me on my shoulder and asked: “Coffee?” I nodded and followed him to the common room, where other grad students were filling in. I sat there, cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air.
Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But mostly, the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down, to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who understand what you’re going through.
The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada, where I spent most of my workdays in isolation. I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch, I’d keep my eyes glued to my computer while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth, trying to power through my to-do list. For 9 months, I struggled to figure out why I couldn’t exactly copy the results of another study. I didn’t want to trouble my advisor too much. I was also hesitant to ask my labmates for help.
How much we were missing! Researchers need community because good ideas don’t just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts. It’s helpful to bounce ideas off others, and, to have a venue to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life.
Would coffee breaks have solved all my problems? Probably not. But I think sharing ideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dilemma. My time in France has taught me that it’s important to create space for organic conversations about lab life. A scientist’s life can feel isolating, but it’s not necessarily so when you’re connected to a supportive community.
4. How did the author feel when he drank coffee for the first time in France?
A. A little nervous. B. Very happy.
C. Somewhat excited. D. Quite curious.
5. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Cultural ceremonies in France. B. Various topics of the chatter.
C. Coffee breaks in French lab culture. D. Lab culture in French style.
6 What was the author’s life like back in Canada?
A. Comfortable and fulfilled. B. Busy and lonely.
C. Tense but satisfactory. D. Boring but healthy.
7. Why does the author write this passage?
A. To introduce the coffee break in Europe.

A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. A BioBlitz is also known as a biological inventory (清单) or biological census (统计). The primary goal of a BioBlitz is to get an overall count of the plants, animals, and other organisms that live in a place.
A BioBlitz differs from a scientific inventory in a number of ways. Scientific inventories are usually limited to biologists, geographers, and other scientists. A BioBlitz brings together volunteer scientists, as well as families, students, teachers, and other members of the community. While a scientific survey often focuses on unique or isolated areas, BioBlitzes focus on areas that are connected to residential, urban, and industrial areas. Finally, scientific surveys may take a long period of time to conduct. A BioBlitz lasts a short period of time, traditionally 24 hours.
These differences make a BioBlitz a unique biological survey that encourages a relationship between the natural and human communities of a given area. Citizens work alongside scientists to learn about the biological diversity of local natural spaces. In the process, they gain skills and knowledge and develop a stronger connection to their home environment. A BioBlitz promotes and improves local natural spaces by empowering citizens to better understand and protect biodiversity.
Hundreds of BioBlitzes have been conducted all over the world, primarily in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. The first BioBlitz was sponsored by the National Park Service and the National Biological Service in Washington D.C.’s Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens in 1996. Surrounded by heavy residential and industrial development, Kenilworth Park was thought to have very little biological diversity. Scientists, however, tallied more than 900 species that first year and added even more species to their list at continuous Kenilworth BioBlitzes.
8. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 2?
A. A BioBlitz either needs much time or short time.
B. A BioBlitz centers on unique or isolated areas.
C. A BioBlitz needs much fewer people involved.
D. A BioBlitz is different from scientific inventories.
9. What is the significance of a BioBlitz?
A. To get a better understanding of wildlife around the world.
B. To give some assistance to the endangered animals and plants.
C. To increase citizens’ awareness of protecting the local biodiversity.
D. To raise money for the living conditions of the wild animals around.
10. What does the underlined word “tallied” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Expected. B. Missed. C. Helped. D. Listed.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Challenges BioBlitzes Will Face
B. BioBlitz, a Unique Biological Survey
C. BioBlitzes and Scientific Inventories
D. The Way a BioBlitz Protects the Environment
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是生物限时寻的特点和意义。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段内容，结合第一句段落主题句“A BioBlitz differs from a scientific inventory in a number of ways.(生物限时寻与科学清单在很多方面都有所不同。)”可知，本段主要讲述了生物限时寻和科学清单的三个不同之处，故作者在第二段想告诉我们生物限时寻不同于科学清单。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“These differences make a BioBlitz a unique biological survey that encourages a relationship between the natural and human communities of a given area. Citizens work alongside scientists to learn about the biological diversity of local natural spaces. In the process, they gain skills and knowledge and develop a stronger connection to their home environment. A BioBlitz promotes and improves local natural spaces by empowering citizens to better understand and protect biodiversity.(这些差异使“生物限时寻”成为一项独特的生物调查，鼓励在特定地区建立自然和人类社区之间的关系。市民与科学家一起工作，了解当地自然空间的生物多样性。在这个过程中，他们获得了技能和知识，并与家庭环境建立了更强的联系。生物限时寻通过赋予公民更好地理解和保护生物多样性的能力，促进和改善当地的自然空间。)”可知，生物限时寻的意义是提高市民保护本地生物多样性的意识。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“more than 900 species that first year and added even more species to their list at continuous Kenilworth BioBlitzes(第一年900多个物种，并在连续的Kenilworth生物限时寻中增加了更多的物种)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“科学家在第一年统计了900多个物种，并在连续的Kenilworth生物限时寻中增加了更多的物种”可知，也就是列出了900多个物种，划线词tallied意为“列出”，和listed意思相近，故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period of time. A BioBlitz is also known as a biological inventory (清单) or biological census (统计). The primary goal of a BioBlitz is to get an overall count of the plants, animals, and other organisms that live in a place.(“生物限时寻”指的是在短时间内，在一个特定地区发现并识别尽可能多的物种。生物限时寻也被称为生物清单或生物普查。生物限时寻的主要目标是获得生活在一个地方的植物、动物和其他生物的总体数量。)”和倒数第二段的“These differences make a BioBlitz a unique biological survey that encourages a relationship between the natural and human communities of a given area.(这些差异使“生物限时寻”成为一项独特的生物调查，鼓励在特定地区建立自然和人类社区之间的关系。)”可知，本文主要讲的是生物限时寻的特别之处和重大意义，因此本文最好的题目是B选项“BioBlitz, a Unique Biological Survey(生物限时寻，一项独特的生物调查)”，故选B。
D
As we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, shown by recent well-known layoffs and a culture of “quiet quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a scary prospect.
Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally skilled workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth.
Likewise, at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. There’s good reason for this focus: if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats, they risk going backwards. And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently.
Well, we should change in order to help attract and keep a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to enhance their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers.
To make this all happen, leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can
be an impressive motivator in the workplace.
Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are paramount, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to ignore the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To exploit the technology to its full potential, such qualities are equally important.
Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be vital if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those experts in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities.
12. What is the writer’s main concern in the digital transformation process?
A. The threats from technology. B. The challenge of upskilling workforces.
C. The culture of “quiet quitting”. D. The shortage of experienced workers.
13. What can be learned from Paragraph 4 and 5?
A. Replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key.
B. High requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce.
C. Employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces.
D. Business leaders should focus on the training of the existing talent pool.
14. What does the underlined word “paramount” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Important. B. Beneficial.
C. Challenging. D. Inspiring.
15. What might be the purpose of the passage?
A. To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills.
B. To warn humans of the potential problems with technology.
C. To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills.
D. To draw people’s attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述企业在数字化转型过程中要关注劳动力技能的提高，也不能忽视数字化转型所需的其他能力，强调硬技能和软技能结合的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about
whether we have a digitally skilled workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth.(例如，随着每一项令人兴奋的新技术的出现，人们越来越担心我们是否有一支拥有数字技能的劳动力队伍准备好利用它。毕竟，让员工跟上最新进展是数字化转型过程的关键要素，如果我们希望在实现持续增长的同时提高业务生产力和效率，这将证明至关重要。)”可知，在数字化转型过程中，作者最关心的是提高劳动力技能的挑战。故选B。
【13题详解】

【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其倒数第二段“Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are paramount, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to ignore the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership.(当然，数字技能是最重要的，这是很好的说法，但仅仅拥有硬技能的员工并不能保证企业的未来发展。我们需要软技能来支持更广泛的目标，这样就不会忽视数字化转型所需的其他能力：沟通、批判性思维、创造性设计技能和领导能力。)”可推知，
文章的目的是讲述企业在数字化转型过程中要关注劳动力技能的提高，也不能忽视数字化转型所需的其他能力，强调硬技能和软技能结合的重要性。故选C。

A Wonder Plant
Every rainy season, the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Central Africa migrate to the foothills and lower parts of the Virunga Mountains to feed on bamboo. For the 650 or so that remain in the wild, it’s a vital food source. ___16___ Gorillas aren’t the only locals keen on bamboo. For the people near the mountains, it’s a valuable raw material used for building houses and making household items. But in the past 100 years, resources have come under increasing pressure as populations have exploded and large areas of bamboo forest have been cleared to make way for farms.
___17___ All over the world, the ranges of many bamboo species appear to be reducing, endangering the people and animals that depend upon them. A report published by the UN Environment Programme has revealed just how profound our ignorance of global bamboo resources is.
Bamboo is a wonder plant. Its ecological role extends beyond providing food and habitat for animals. Bamboo tends to grow in stands made up of groups of individual plants that grow from root systems. Its extensive root systems are crucial in preventing water loss and soil erosion.___18___ In India 25% of paper produced is made from bamboo fiber, and in Brazil, 100,000 hectares of bamboo are grown for its production. Because of its flexibility and strength, it has traditionally been used in construction. Bamboo is often the only readily available raw material for people in many developing countries.
___19___ Ray Townsend, vice president of the British Bamboo Society, says, “Some plants are threatened because they can’t survive in the habitat—they aren’t strong enough or there aren’t enough of them, perhaps. But bamboo can take care of itself-it is strong enough to survive if left alone.___20___” When forest goes, it is transformed into something else: there isn’t anywhere for forest plants such as bamboo to grow if you create a cattle grass land.
A. Sadly, this isn’t a single story.
B. It is the physical disturbance that is the threat to bamboo.
C. Until now, bamboo has been viewed as a second-class plant.
D. Without it, their chances of survival would be reduced significantly.
E. Besides, bamboo’s most immediate significance lies in its economic value.
F. More than a billion people rely on bamboo for either their shelter or income.
G. Despite bamboo’s value in economy and ecology, its situation is all the more worrying.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. E 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章叙述的是关于竹子的用途以及这种植物现在面临的严峻形势。
【16题详解】
根据上句提示For the 650 or so that remain in the wild, it’s a vital food source.（对于在野外生存的650个左右的大猩猩来说，它是一个重要的食物来源。）承接上文，D项Without it, their chances of survival would be reduced significantly.（没有它，他们的生存机会就会大大减少。）切题。该项中的Without it,---would be reduced与上文的a vital food source对应，故D项正确。
【17题详解】
此空是段落首句，根据下文All over the world, the ranges of many bamboo species appear to be reducing, endangering the people and animals that depend upon them.（在世界各地，许多竹子的种类似乎正在减少，危及到依赖它们的人和动物。），再根据上文large areas of bamboo forest have been cleared可知，A项Sadly, this isn’t a single story.（可悲的是，这并不是一个单一的故事。）承上启下，故A项正确。
【18题详解】
根据上文提示Its extensive root systems are crucial in preventing water loss and soil erosion.（其广泛的根系对于防止水土流失至关重要。）再根据下文提示In India 25% of paper produced is made from bamboo fiber, and in Brazil, 100,000 hectares of bamboo are grown for its production.（在印度，25%的纸是用竹纤维制成的，而在巴西，10万公顷的竹子是用来生产纸的。）承接上下文，E项Besides, bamboo’s most immediate significance lies in its economic value.（此外，竹子最直接的意义在于它的经济价值。）该项和上下文都是在讲竹子的用途，故E项正确。
【19题详解】
根据下文Ray Townsend, vice president of the British Bamboo Society, says, “Some plants are threatened because they can’t survive in the habitat—they aren’t strong enough or there aren’t enough of them, perhaps.（英国竹子协会的副主席Ray Townsend说：“一些植物受到了威胁，因为它们无法在栖息地生存——它们不够强壮，或者它们的数量不够。）可知，本空讲述竹子现在状况不好， G项Despite bamboo’s value in economy and ecology, its situation is all the more worrying.（尽管竹子在经济和生态方面有价值，但它的情况更令人担忧。）切题。
【20题详解】
根据上句提示But bamboo can take care of itself-it is strong enough to survive if left alone.（
但是竹子可以自己照顾它自己——如果它能独立生存，它就足够强壮了。）再根据下文提示When forest goes, it is transformed into something else: there isn’t anywhere for forest plants such as bamboo to grow if you create a cattle grass land.（当森林消失时，它就变成了另一种东西：如果你创造了一个牛草地，就没有任何地方可以种植像竹子这样的森林植物。）承接上下文，B项It is the physical disturbance that is the threat to bamboo.（对竹子的威胁是破坏竹子躯干。）切题，也就是让竹子独自生存就是保护它，对竹子的威胁是砍掉它。

Apply for a foreign university is a huge project. Here is my experience. I did voluntary work in Grade One. I listed all of my achievement and the voluntary work I have done. After completing the online admission process, I took a deep breath and dreamed about our dream college. However, except offer from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), I total got eight rejections. One day, I locked myself in my room but thought about what I had done. Finally I understood that I could learn nothing from the experience even though those rejections were made me sad. I accepted the UCSD’s offer and adjusted myself quickly. For this attitude, everything I saw of UCSD thrilled me.
【答案】1.Apply→Applying
2.achievement→achievements
3.have→had
4.our→my
5.在offer前加an/the
6.total→totally
7.but→and
8.nothing→something
9.去掉made前的were
10.For→With
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了作者申请一所外国大学的经历。
【详解】1.考查动名词。句意：申请国外大学是一项浩大的工程。句中要用动名词Applying作主语，动名词表示抽象的、一般性行为，故将Apply改为Applying。
2.考查名词的复数。句意：我列出了我所有的成就和我所做的志愿工作。由all可知，可数名词achievement要用复数，故将achievement改为achievements。
3.考查时态。句意：我列出了我所有的成就和我所做的志愿工作。“我”做志愿工作发生在listed之前，因此“做志愿工作”用过去完成时，即had done，故将have改为had。
4.考查物主代词。句意：完成网上录取流程后，我深吸了一口气，开始憧憬我的梦想大学。根据语境可知，句子表示“完成网上录取流程后，我深吸了一口气，开始憧憬我的梦想大学”，“我的”用形容词性物主代词my，修饰dream college，故将our改为my。
5.考查冠词。句意：但是，除了加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）的主动提议的机会，我一共被拒绝了8次。offer是可数名词的单数形式，此处可理解为表泛指，前面加不定冠词，offer是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an；也可理解为特指加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）的offer，offer前加定冠词the表特指，故在offer前加an/the。
6.考查副词。句意：但是，除了加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）的主动提议的机会，我一共被拒绝了8次。修饰动词got要用副词totally作状语，故将total改为totally。
7.考查连词。句意：有一天，我把自己锁在房间里，想着我做了什么。“I locked myself in my room”和“thought about what I had done”之间是并列关系，应该用并列连词and连接两句话，故将but改为and。
8.考查复合不定代词。句意：最后我明白了，我可以从这些经历中学到一些东西，尽管那些拒绝让我很难过。根据语境可知，句子表示“最后我明白了，我可以从这些经历中学到一些东西，尽管那些拒绝让我很难过”，“一些东西”是something，故将nothing改为something。
9.考查语态。句意：最后我明白了，我可以从这些经历中学到一些东西，尽管那些拒绝让我很难过。根据语境可知，句子表示“那些拒绝让我很难过”，是主动的动作，句子用主动语态，made前的were是多余的，故去掉made前的were。
10.考查介词。句意：抱着这样的态度，我在加州大学圣地亚哥分校看到的一切都让我激动不已。根据语境可知，句子表示“有这样的态度”，用介词with表示“有着”，故将For改为With。

Yours
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Peter,
Knowing that you are conducting a survey of the housework that high school students do at home, I’m writing to inform you about what I do.
Although my school schedule is rather tight, I still manage to help with the housework from time to time. Not only do I wash dishes after dinner, but I also deal with other things like sweeping the floor and taking out the trash.
I hold the opinion that high school students should do some housework. For one thing, it is by doing housework that we learn to shoulder responsibility. For another, I find the time spent doing housework with my parents really fun and rewarding.
I hope that what I mentioned above will be of great use to your survey.
Yours,
Li Hua
