26、Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else-there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased (停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.

What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”

To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

【1】Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?

A. Wealth results from honest effort.

B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.

C. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.

D. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.

【2】The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means ________.

A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face

B. No pains, no gains

C. Failure is the mother of success

D. Bread comes from the sweat on your face

【3】We learn from the passage that the author ________.

A. was a wealthy person in the community

B. held a positive attitude towards an active life

C. was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)

D. kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed

【4】What is implied in the passage by the writer?

A. To use wealth properly, cat, drink and be merry.

B. Where there is a will, there is a way.

C. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.

D. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.

27、A new concept vehicle, Pod was introduced by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo motor show. The car is intended as a four-wheeled friend. It aims to provide affection, sympathy and encouragement. Like a dog welcoming its master, the car sits up, wags its tail and acknowledges its owner’s presence using hydraulics(液压装置) and a multi-colored LED display panel(引擎) across the front.

While on the road, the car constantly monitors the driver’s mood with pulse and sweat sensors on the joystick(操纵杆). Cameras focused on the eyes keep watch for any sigh of drowsiness. If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.

To improve driving skills, pod compares acceleration, braking and steering with the best performance recorded by professionals. It uses this comparison to score drivers, offer advice and rank all Pod owners. Toyota claims that the car will eventually be able to learn its owner’s likes and dislikes by monitoring passenger conversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download the track from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also recommend restaurants that might suit the driver’s taste and take photographs of passengers when they sound particularly happy.

In keep with the moodiness that is the car’s main selling point, Pod expresses a form of road anger. If a driver brakes or swerves(转向) suddenly, the LED panel shows an angry red and the tail rises at the back.

Anger is one of the car’s ten “emotional states”. Another is sadness --- a blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlights --- which appears after a flat tire or when gas is low.

“We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Yasunori Sakamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.

【1】The underlined word “drowsiness” in Paragraph 2 means _________.

A. fear   B. boredom

C. excitement   D. sleepiness

【2】According to the text, Pod can ___________.

A. rank the restaurant nearby   B. test the driver’s driving skills

C. have a conversation with drivers   D. recommend a song to passenger

【3】If the new concept vehicle is running out of gas, __________.

A. the Led panel turns red

B. the tail rises at the back of the car

C. the front light turn blue and look like tears

D. the car stops and shake with loud music

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Pod?

A. Supportive.   B. Doubtful.

C. Pessimistic.   D. Tolerant.

28、Skyscrapers (摩天大楼) are the symbol of urban life. City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the Increasing food needs.

By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.

Vertical (垂直的) farms, where urban farmers could grow crops io environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.

Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.

Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources, such as artificial light.

Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative (革新的) farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.

【1】What primary problem could vertical farming settle?

A．Poor state of rural life.

B．Shortage of food supply.

C．High cost for transporting crops.

D．Environmental pollution by transitional farmings.

【2】What is the advantage of vertical farming?

A．It can produce organic food.

B．It requires little care.

C．It can benefit transport industry

D．It needs very low cost.

【3】What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?

A．High costs.

B．Crop diseases.

C．Light sources.

D．Climate conditions.

【4】What can be the best title of the test?

A．Future Food Needs.

B．Symbol of Urban Life.

C．Farming on Rooftops.

D．Farms of the Future.

29、It is reported that two thirds of our earth’s oceans and three quarters of its land have been damaged by mankind. One million types of plants and animals could disappear by 2050, with a speed hundreds of times faster than over the last 10 million years. One fifth of all nations could see the environment on which we ourselves depend is being destroyed.

Our earth can only continue to support us if we protect its biodiversity (生物多样性). It is the biological chain of plants and animals that hold our world together. Every life form, however tiny, is of great importance to the whole. Every breath of air we breathe and every mouthful of food that we take comes from the natural world. And if we damage the natural world, we damage ourselves. Indeed, the environment we live in is not only vital to our survival, but also powering the world economy. The costs produced by our broken relationship with nature are rising every day.

The continuing destruction of the environment also quickens climate change and makes us feel weaker and even more vulnerable. The environment supports us, but climate change in turn harms the environment at the same time, making these two challenges two sides of the same coin. To make matters worse, damage to our ecosystems (生态系统) also has a bad effect on human health, by ruining our sources of food, medicine, water and oxygen. We even risk new diseases jumping from animals to humans.

From October 11-15, 2021, world leaders gathered online for part one of COP-15 (第十五届缔约方会议), with the second part in face-to-face meetings in Kunming, from April 25 to May 8, 2022. This is an extremely important moment to raise the level of ambition and commitments for nature.

Saving biodiversity is to save ourselves. What is needed most is a global plan to protect biodiversity, with new goals for the next decade that all countries support and provide money for the project.

【1】What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

A．Our planet we all live on is in great is danger.

B．The damage to the environment is reducing.

C．Animals. and plants have been existing peacefully.

D．Four-fifths of the countries create good environment.

【2】What does the underlined word vulnerable in the third paragraph mean?

A．optimistic

B．easily-hurt

C．extraordinary

D．realistic

【3】What is the worst effect caused by the environmental destruction?

A．Air and water pollution.

B．Abnormal usage of oxygen.

C．Lack of food and medicine.

D．Diseases from animals to humans.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．New ways to develop new energy.

B．Methods to prevent and cure COVID-19.

C．Measures to raise money to control water pollution.

D．International cooperation to protect biodiversity Worldwide.

I 【1】 a string around the diaper box and mailed it without a 【2】 stamped envelope and without making a copy of the 【3】. A month later I received a contract, an advance on royalties, and a 【4】 to start working on another book.

32、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。

I was in my room, unwilling to head to the community theatre with “my brother” Henry. He was just adopted by my parents recently. I was not in the mood for being onstage with him.

“Kristie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there?” She glared at me—something she never did before Henry came to our home. I didn’t wet his book on purpose. Tears of hurt clouded my eyes. Worse still, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining my life.

Meanwhile, Henry was just nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结) as usual. Why did a boy like him do the girly work? Far from manly!

Soon, it was time to have to set off for the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It’s the first time for Henry to be onstage. Be kind to him, Honey.” I nodded but sighed. Being kind didn’t use to be hard. But after Henry moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more.

Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring (束带) on my skirt. Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. Laughter from the audience could be heard, and even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt, I could feel my face burst into flames. However, my hands were full. If only someone could help me out!

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。

Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment.
