M: I do. But we're still paying off those crazy medical bills from that accident in the forest last year. It might be more responsible to wait until next year.

W: I understand that it's important for us to save money. What about a short trip instead? Just to get away for a couple of days…

M: Hmm, that sounds good. Why don't we go camping in the mountains or near the ocean? It would not be expensive, but most importantly, we'd be close by, so it would only be a two-day trip.

W: Come on, you know how much I hate sand! Let's stick to the mountains. Some fresh air will do us a world of good. What do you say?

M: Sounds awesome! Let's go next weekend.

W: Great!

Many factories and businesses around the globe have been struggling to deal with the severe economic realities of the recession（衰退）, so they are having their employees take compulsory unpaid leave to save money. For some workers, their salaries have been cut by 20 percent, forced to stay home one out of every five working days. For some businesses, though, the economic downturn is actually a goldmine.

Instead of going out to fancy restaurants to dine with the whole family, many choose to stay at home. "People are eating out less and staying home more, which is driving our sales," reports Domino's Pizza chief manager Chris Moore. Pizza is very popular, and it is also very affordable for a family that has little extra money to spare. Domino's business in England rose 15 percent in the first six weeks this year compared with the previous year. Moore believes that the customers now will remain loyal when the financial situation rights itself. "By exceeding（超越） their expectations in terms of product quality and speed of delivery... these customers will stay with Domino's when the economy becomes better." said Moore.

Delivered pizza is not the only winner in the stay-at-home economy. Almost all online games have been reporting record-high income since the middle of 2008. Online games are designed to enable players to let off steamby interacting with each other socially in the comfort of their own homes. A Shanghai-based online game producer recently joked: "The game businesses are worried about economic recovery."

Another business that has boomed during the recession is camping equipment. Luxury vacations for families are down, but people still want to get away from their dull lives. This means that sales of tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor equipment have gone up as families are trying to still have fun even though their bank accounts aren't as good as they once were. There have been reports that sales of fishing equipment are on the rise because many people believe this can help lower their grocery bills.

24. What is true about Domino's in economic hard times?

A. It is giving its employees a 20 percent cut.

B. It has added four or five new cheaper pizzas.

C. It has to close 15 percent of its stores.

D. Its business is increasing quite rapidly.

25. What does the phrase "let off steam" mean in the third paragraph?

A. Save money.

B. Free one's feelings.

C. Kill another player online.

D. Make money from an online game.

26. How does the author present his point?

A. By giving examples.

B. By showing a sequence.

C. By explaining causes and effects.

D. By making comparisons and contrasts.

27. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Domino's Pizza B. In-house Economy

C. Booming Businesses D. Economic Recession

【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. B

【解析】

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。全球许多工厂和企业一直在努力应对经济衰退的严峻现实，因此，为了省钱，他们让员工强制休无薪假期，因此，对一些企业（外卖、游戏）来说，经济低迷实际上是一座金矿，他们利用人们休闲在家而产生的生意。

【24题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段的“Domino's business in England rose 15 percent in the first six weeks this year compared with the previous year.”（今年前六周，达美乐在英国的业务比去年增长了15%。）可知，在困难时期，达美乐的业务增长相当快。故选D。

【25题详解】

词义猜测题。根据划线词后的“by interacting with each other socially in the comfort of their own homes.”（通过在自己舒适的家中与他人进行社交互动）可知，在线游戏是为了让玩家能够在家舒适的玩游戏，结合下文的“A Shanghai-based online game producer recently joked: "The game businesses are worried about economic recovery.”（上海的一家网络游戏生产商最近开玩笑说:“游戏企业担心经济复苏）可知，let off Steam是指释放他们的情感。故选B。

【26题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Instead of going out to fancy restaurants to dine with the whole family, many choose to stay at home.”第三段第一、二句“Delivered pizza is not the only winner in the stay-at-home economy. Almost all online games have been reporting record-high income since the middle of 2008.”和最后一段第一句“Another business that has boomed during the recession is camping equipment.”可知，作者通过举例子来表达他的观点。故选A。

【27题详解】

主旨大意题。全球许多工厂和企业一直在努力应对经济衰退的严峻现实，因此，为了省钱，他们让员工强制休无薪假期，因此，对一些企业（外卖、游戏）来说，经济低迷实际上是一座金矿，他们利用人们休闲在家而产生的生意。因此，本文讲述的是关于家庭经济。选项B“家庭经济”为最佳答案。故选B。

We have heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future.

5G, short for the 5th generation mobile communication technology, promises Internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than current 4G systems. While 5G is set to be used in some limited areas of America this year, much of the world is not expected to receive widely available service until 2023.

One project in Britain, however, is already testing this superfast technology on an unlikely group of Internet users-cows. The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems.Italso receives money from the British government. Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural areas around the world.

Testing areas were set up at farms in three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices （装置） that link up to a robotic milking system, which uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each individual cow. Itthen positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward.

Other 5G technology tools include automated brushes that turn on when the cow rubs up against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows' living areas depending on the weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat.

Duncan Forbes, head of the project, told Reuters that the project shows the farm's cow operations can be greatly improved with 5G technology and that the experiment provides strong evidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future, not just on farms in Britain, but in rural communities across the world.

28. What is the purpose of Cisco Systems' program?

A. To win financial support from British government.

B. To test the effects of 5G technology on animals

C. To promote its technological development in Britain

D. To expand the future use of 5G in rural communities.

29. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. The project. B. The company.

C. The technology. D. The group.

30. What can we learn about 5G according to the text?

A. It is no worse than 4G in terms of speed.

B. It is already widely available in the world.

C. It enables cows to control their own milking.

D. It is based on sensors and machine learning.

31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A. Entertainment. B. Lifestyle.

C. Education. D. Technology.

【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. D

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。美国思科公司在一个项目中将5G技术应用于奶牛身上来实现挤奶的自动化。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中的Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural areas around the world.可知思科表示，该项目旨在探索全球农村社区5G连接的未来。也就是该项目是为了扩大未来在农村社区5G的使用。故选D项。

【29题详解】

词义猜测题。根据第三段中的The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems.Italso receives money from the British government.可知该项目由美国科技公司思科系统网络公司开发。它还得到了英国政府的资金支持。这里的it指的就是上文中的the project,故选A项。

【30题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段中的The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices （装置） that link up to a robotic milking system …the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward.可知奶牛身上配备的5G连接设备与一个机器人控制的挤奶系统相连。该系统利用传感器和机器学习实现整个挤奶过程的自动化。系统设计人员称，当奶牛感觉准备好挤奶并走向一个自动门时，接下来的流程将由技术完成。该设备可以识别出每一头奶牛。然后，它将（挤奶）设备准确地锁定到挤奶的位置。在这个过程中，机器会给奶牛投放食物作为奖励。由此判断5G可以用来让奶牛自己控制挤奶。故选C项。

【31题详解】

推理判断题。本文主要是讲的将5G技术应用于奶牛身上，实现挤奶的自动化，由此推断这篇文章属于科学技术板块。故选D项。

Named after the “quest （探索） for heavenly truth”, Tianwen 1, China's first Mars probe （探测器）, has given us breathtaking images of the red planet.

These are the first close-up images of Mars' surface taken by China, which were made public by the China National Space Administration （CNSA） on March 4, this year. The probe shot high-definition pictures while traveling in Mars' orbit. Craters （撞击坑）, mountain ridges （山脊） and sand dunes （沙丘） can clearly be seen. CNSA estimated that the largest crater in the image could be about 620 meters in diameter （直径）.

The pictures were taken at different distances from Mars. The two black-and-white images were taken by the high-resolution （高分辨率的） camera on Tianwen 1 when the probe was about 330-350 kilometers above the Martian surface. As for the color image, it was taken by Tianwen 1's medium-resolution camera.

It is the shooting modes that determine if the images are black-and-white or colored. The high-resolution camera can take both color and panchromatic （全色的） images. Panchromatic images, which are black and white, are the clearest, containing the largest amount of data for scientific study. The medium-resolution camera, although featuring automatic exposure and remote control, can only produce lesser clear images. Scientists combined the panchromatic and color images, obtaining a clear and beautiful color image.

Tianwen 1 was launched on July 23rd2020 and landed on Mars on May 15th, 2021. The success of Tianwen 1 mission makes China another nation after the U.S. and the Soviet Union to land on Mars. Now China is among the leading countries in planetary exploration by virtue of advanced technology and Chinese spaceflight spirit.

32. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Panchromatic images are colored. B. The images were issued on March 4.

C. Tianwen 1 landed on Mars in May this year. D. China is the third nation to land on Mars.

33. What do we know about the pictures of Mars taken by Tianwen 1?

A. CNSA released five high-resolution images of Mars recently.

B. Mountain ridges are not clear enough in the pictures.

C. The panchromatic images include more data.

D. They are the first close-up images taken of Mars.

34. How were these images taken?

A. They were all taken by a high-resolution camera.

B. They were taken in different shooting models.

C. The colors of the images were adjusted by a remote control.

D. They were taken when the probe passed Utopia Planitia.

35. What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?

A. To describe the techniques Tianwen 1 used to take these pictures of Mars.

B. To tell us the difficulties in taking pictures of Mars.

C. To introduce pictures of Mars released by CNSA.

D. To inform readers of the importance of these images of Mars.

【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. A

【解析】

【34题详解】

细节理解题。由第三段“The pictures were taken at different distances from Mars. The two black-and-white images were taken by the high-resolution （高分辨率的） camera on Tianwen 1 when the probe was about 330-350 kilometers above the Martian surface. As for the color image, it was taken by Tianwen 1's medium-resolution camera. （这些照片是在离火星不同的地方拍摄的。这两张黑白照片是由天问一号上的高分辨率相机拍摄的，当时探测器位于火星表面330-350公里的高空。至于彩色图像，它是由天问一号的中分辨率相机拍摄的）”和第四段中的“It is the shooting modes that determine if the images are black-and-white or colored. The high-resolution camera can take both color and panchromatic （全色的） images. Panchromatic images, which are black and white, are the clearest, containing the largest amount of data for scientific study. The medium-resolution camera, although featuring automatic exposure and remote control, can only produce lesser clear images. （拍摄模式决定图像是黑白还是彩色。高分辨率相机可以拍摄彩色和全色图像。黑白全色图像是最清晰的，包含了最多的科学研究数据。中分辨率相机虽然具有自动曝光和遥控功能，但只能产生较不清晰的图像）”可知，拍摄模式决定图像是黑白的还是彩色的，这些照片有黑白照片也有彩色照片，是在高分辨率相机和中分辨率相机条件下分别拍摄，说明这些照片是在不同的拍摄模式下拍摄的。故选B项。

【35题详解】

推理判断题。第一二段讲“中国第一颗火星探测器“天问一号”拍摄的火星照片”，第三四段讲“这些拍摄的火星照片运用的拍照技术：高分辨率拍摄和中分辨率拍摄”，最后一段讲“天问一号任务成功的意义”，可知作者主要是向读者描述天问一号拍摄火星照片的技术。故选A项。
 

第二节：七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you are thinking about asking for a raise in salary, there are several things to keep in mind. First, consider whether you deserve a higher salary. ___36___Sit down and make a list of your job accomplishments. Be as specific as possible. For example, think about important projects you have worked on, things you have done to improve the organization of work in your department, or how your efforts have brought more money to the company. Also include any professional development opportunities you have taken advantage of recently and be ready to explain how they have improved your performance on the job. ___37___Bear in mind that salary levels are based not only on performance but also on the market for your particular skills. Before you ask for a raise, you need to do some research. You should investigate the industry standards for salaries for people in similar positions with similar levels of experience. ___38___Your initial request should actually be slightly higher than the amount you want in order to leave some room for negotiation. Then, if you have to go lower than this amount, you still end up with something close to what you want.

___39___If you have recently been given new responsibilities, it makes sense to ask for a higher level of compensation. On the other hand, if the company is going through financial difficulties, a request for more money will probably not be met with a favorable response. It would be better to wait until the company is in a better financial position. Finally, never give personal reasons for wanting a higher salary. Your need to pay your child's college tuition or buy a bigger house is of no concern to your boss. ___40___That is where you need to keep the conversation.

A. This will help you determine what would be a reasonable amount of money to ask for.

B. Skills play a key role in your salary level.

C. A crucial point is the timing of your request.

D. Everyone is eager for a raise in salary.

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者用了有说服力的语言，介绍了员工向雇主提出增加薪金前应考虑的事情。

【36题详解】

根据前文“First, consider whether you deserve a higher salary.”首先，你要考虑你是否值得更高的薪水，E项说你可能值得，但是你要向你的老板解释为什么。本句起承上启下的作用，You probably do中的do，指前句deserve a higher salary，用do避免重复。本句explain...why和后面部分的内容紧密相连。故选E项，

【37题详解】

前文说“Also include any professional development opportunities you have taken advantage of recently and be ready to explain how they have improved your performance on the job”还要包括你最近利用的职业发展机会，并准备好解释它们是如何提高你在工作中的表现的。G项说当你见老板的时候，你就会准备地更好了。本句是段落的结尾句，说明了做到前述几项，就会有本句所说情况的出现。故选G项。

【38题详解】

上文说“You should investigate the industry standards for salaries for people in similar positions with similar levels of experience.”你应该调查一下行业对相似职位、相似经验水平的人的工资标准。上文提到了工资标准。A项说这将帮助你确定多少钱是合理的要求。本句承上，前后意思关联紧密。选项的amount of money照应上文的salaries，故选A项。

【39题详解】

根据后文的“if the company is going through financial difficulties, a request for more money will probably not be met with a favorable response.”如果公司正经历财政困难，要求更多的钱可能不会得到一个有利的回应。本段后面内容从正反两方面，说明提出要求增加薪金时，要选择恰当的时机。C项说关键的一点是你请求的时间，提到了时间，照应下文。故选C项。

【40题详解】

上文说“never give personal reasons for wanting a higher salary.”不要给出要求加薪的个人原因。F项说我们的工资水平应该仅仅基于职业方面的考虑。本句从正面用来支持本段的主题句，它也同后面一句有承接关系。故选F项。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍一档综艺节目《上新了，故宫》。该节目以一种全新的角度带领观众了解故宫，将故宫几百年留存至今的文物进行展现，旨在探索故宫博物馆不为人知的区域和秘事。

【56题详解】

考查固定搭配。句意：故宫，也被称为紫禁城，是一个很多人参观拍照的旅游景点。固定搭配be known as“被称为”。故填as。

【57题详解】

考查名词。句意：故宫，也被称为紫禁城，是一个很多人参观拍照的旅游景点。分析句子可知，a much-visited and much-photographed tourist____是“冠词+形容词+名词”构成的名词短语结构，因为冠词是a，所以此空用attract的单数名词形式，故填attraction。

【58题详解】

考查时态。句意：这座中国宫殿有着大约600年的历史，每年接待数以百万计的游客，近年来有很多电视节目播放了这个地方。根据句中的in recent years可以判断本句时态为现在完成时，主语为programs，根据主谓一致原则，故填have shown。

【59题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，它仍然有秘密，一个新的节目将以全新的视角探索故宫的那些未知区域和其背后的故事。分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词作为名词program的后置定语，逻辑主语program和design之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，故填designed。

【60题详解】

考查代词。句意：综艺节目《上新了，故宫》于11月9日在北京电视台和在线媒体网站爱奇艺上播出了第一集。根据句意及提示词it可知，此处应填入形容词性物主代词，表示“这个节目的”第一集，故填its。

【61题详解】

考查副词。句意：“它将许多元素结合在一起，节目中的每一个元素都是完美匹配的，结果令人惊叹”，一个网络用户说。此处matched是动词过去分词形式，应由副词修饰。故填perfectly。

【62题详解】

考查冠词。句意同上。分析句意可知，此处泛指一位网络用户，表泛指用不定冠词a或an，online元音音素开头，故填an。

【63题详解】

考查名词的数。句意：在长达一小时的剧情中，演员们在解说与扮演历史人物之间转换，如清朝的皇帝和皇室成员。分析句子可知，此处应用名词作为动词play的宾语，与guides 并列，figure作为“人物”时是可数名词，故填figures。

【64题详解】

考查定语从句关系代词。句意：他们关注的正是公众仍然无法进入的区域和周围的故事。分析句子结构可知，areas后面是定语从句，areas是先行词，指物，在从句中做主语，且有very修饰，所以只能用关系代词that。故填that。

【65题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：他们关注的正是公众仍然无法进入的区域和周围的故事。分析句子结构可知，此处应用非谓语动词作为名词stories的后置定语，逻辑主语stories和surround之间是主动关系，应用现在分词，故填surrounding。

67. 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。

“Why she let out my secret? why she did that to me?” I vividly remembered that day when I was confused at the knowing looks which everyone gave me. That terrible experience was imprinted （铭刻） on my mind. I couldn't forgive the person with whom I had shared my secret. She lost all my trust and friendship.

Five years back, Sally was a new addition in our class. I don't know what but there was something sticky about her that attracted me towards her. She was the most friendly person I knew. We started as classmates but after a few months we were like best friends. We did homework together and dreamed of going to the same university one day. We hung out and went to the movies on weekends. That was a sweet time.

Nevertheless, I couldn't expect such an enormous betrayal from her. I didn't know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. I felt much regret to myself. She exaggerated （夸大） the matter, added her own spices to it and made it the hottest topic in school. It was like someone had stabbed a knife in my back. After she revealed my secret, everyone at school started laughing at me and gazing at me wherever I passed. I was like a pond in which someone had thrown a stone and it had been spilled up. It was the most embarrassing time I had gone through. Soon afterwards, I left school and shifted to another one, because I thought no one had the right to laugh at me. Sally called me many times but I didn't answer. My heart was broken because the person whom I trusted most cheated me.

I made efforts to remove the scar from my heart. I started a new life, leaving all the bad memories behind, because they made me a person who often thought about the past experiences. Five years later, with the life going on, I made new friends and seldom thought about the past.

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。

But one day I met Anna in the market, my former classmate, who told me shocking news.

                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                        

I immediately called Sally in order to explain the misunderstanding.

                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                        

【答案】One possible version:

But one day I met Anna in the market, my former classmate, who told me shocking news.Anna said that after I left school the gossip soon disappeared. Everyone in our class missed me. Because I left without saying goodbye, Sally was sad for a long time. And to my amazement, she told me that Sally was not the one who brought my secret to light. It was Mary who had a big mouth and always wanted to put her nose in other people's matters. She happened to overhear my conversation with Sally. I was all at sea, feeling that the floor had slipped away beneath my feet. Anxious and regretful, I asked Anna for any contact with Sally.

I immediately called Sally in order to explain the misunderstanding.After getting through, I sincerely apologized to her. She said softly: “Never mind. We are good friends.” I was in tears, guilt and joy. At that moment, I wished it had not happened. I wished time could go back and I could overcome my mistake. From that I got a lesson in life that we should learn to trust our loved ones, because a little mistake can lead us to ruin what we should value. Trust is the foundational principle that holds friendship. Trust is also the easiest thing in the world to lose. We need to be open and trust our friends.
