Early one morning the sub inspector at a station at the other end of the town rang me. An elephant was damaging the town. Would I please come and do something about it
I did not know what I could do, but I got onto a horse and started out. I took my gun, maybe too small to kill an elephant, but I thought the noise might scare him. Various local people stopped me on the way and told me about the elephant's doings.
It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one. It had been chained up but last night it had broken its chain and escaped. Its owner, had set out to run after it, but had taken the wrong direction. He was now twelve hours' journey away, and in the morning the elephant had suddenly appeared in the town. It had already destroyed somebody's bamboo hut (棚屋), killed a cow and turned over fruit stalls.
I came round the hut and saw a man's dead body sprawling in the mud. He was an Indian, and he could not have been dead many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him with its trunk, put its foot on his back and grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season and he was lying on his stomach in the soft mud, the_______ standing beside, looking innocent.
As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few seconds. Then I fired. That was a shot that did for him.
You could see the pain of it knock the last strength from his legs. But in falling he seemed for a moment to rise, his trunk reaching skyward like a tree. He trumpeted, for the first and only time. And then down he came, with a crash that shook the ground.
24.Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE
A.He was an Indian.
B.He knew elephants well.
C.He was not a local villager.
D.He was the owner of the elephant.

A.excited B.sad
C.frightened D.happy
C
Lac Rose in Senegal about 30 kilometers northeast of Dakar, is the highest salinity(盐度) lake in the world. Much higher salinity is what gives the lake its famous pink color that changes from a slightly rose pink in the rainy season into a super bright pink during the dry season when salinity at its highest.
The high salt content draws the salt harvesters(收获者)to its banks . First, to protect their skin from the salt, they put a kind of natural vegetable fat on their bodies before entering the water. Using a wooden tool, they drag the salt into the basket made from reeds(a kind of plant). There are three different kinds of salt. There's a type of very powdery salt that is only gathered during the Harmattan when the western winds blow from the Sahara over West Africa every year. As the finest or highest grade of salt, the powdery salt is used mainly for cooking. The second type of salt is rougher and always present at the bottom of the lake. This type of salt is generally used for general cooking. Sometimes it is even used for building roads. The third type of salt is the roughest kind that people prefer for their beauty treatments. To harvest this type of salt, salt harvesters put some wood to the bottom of the lake and over time, big salt crystals(晶体)begin to form on them.
Lac Rose is considered as a world heritage site and the local people are willing to share their beauty. The healthy, natural regulation(制度)of the use of the natural resources of this lake is one of the most impressive aspects of the community surrounding this lake. There are no laws needed to protect it. Everyone takes a little bit of what they need and nothing more. There is enough for everyone in the local community. It is a good example of the power of respect and trust in local community.
28.What causes the change of the lake’s pink color
A.The temperature of the water. B.The salinity of the lake.
C.The height above sea level. D.The height of the sun.
29.What can we learn from paragraph 2
A.Powdery salt can be get at any time.
B.Rougher salt contributes to making women beautiful.
C.Harvesters suffer a skin problem because of their work.
D.Harvesters try to do no harm to the lake while working.
30.Which word can best describe the local people
A.Poor. B.Brave. C.Responsible. D.Humorous.
31.In which section of a newspaper can we find the text
A.Health B.Technology C.Nature D.Business
D
Nearly two years after the COVID-19 outbreak, China has granted approval to its first antibody combination therapy (治疗) for COVID-19 treatment, adding a tool to the world’s fight against the disease.
A team from Tsinghua University, along with the Shenzhen People’s Hospital, has accomplished the task in 20 months. It would usually take 10 years. “It can reduce the rate of hospitalization (住院治疗) and death by 80 percent,” said Zhang Linqi, leader of the research team.
The new antibody drug is immediately effective after being used. Moreover, the therapy can protect people, especially those whose physical condition doesn’t allow vaccination (接种疫苗), from becoming infected by COVID-19 for around 9 to 12 months, said Zhang.
How does it work When a virus infects a cell, it relies on an important type of protein: the spike proteins (棘突蛋白) on its surface. The spike proteins serve as a key to unlocking a cell. If a virus cannot enter a cell, it will disappear immediately. The job of our antibodies is to block the virus from entering cells. So its target is very precise. In addition, thanks to the coordination between the two antibodies, it is highly efficient in preventing the virus, according to Zhang. The qualities of the new drug make it especially useful for high-risk groups, such as frontline medical workers and people not suitable for vaccination due to various underlying health problems.
The new drug is expected to come to the market soon, but it’s not cheap. That’s because of limited production. Noting that China has used science and technology to fight COVID-19 since the beginning of the outbreak, Zhang said, “Science is the key to solving the issue. Science has shown its power in all sectors, from medical treatment, medicine and vaccine development to prevention and control measures.”
32.What can we know about the new drug according to paragraph 1 and paragraph 2
A.It’s the only way to treat COVID-19.
B.It dramatically improves the survival rate of patients.
C.It takes researchers 10 years to develop the new drug.
D.It was developed by the team from one of China’s top universities.
33.Which statement does the author probably agree with
A.Only medical workers can take this drug.
B.Antibodies stop spike proteins entering a cell.
C.The new medicine takes effect after a period of use.
D.The new drug can protect people from infection for life.
34.Who are best suited for the drug according to the passage
A.Doctors and nurses. B.The elderly and children.
C.People without vaccination. D.Patients and their family members.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.The drug will be readily available.
B.The new drug has been put into use.
C.Zhang had a high regard for the power of science.
D.China is the first country to use technology to fight disease.

How to stop procrastinating (拖延)
You know the people who walk confidently into an algebra test without trying to burn last-minute formulas (公式) into their brains ___36___ And it’s easier than you think. Find your procrastination style, and then fix it—right now!
The busy bee
___37___Right after you walk the dog, call your grandma, go for a run, eat an apple, brush your teeth...
The fix: ___38___You’re simply postponing that one big, terrifying task! To deal with it, break your studying into smaller pieces and put each piece on your to-do list. You’ll get to cross more items off. Plus you’ll start thinking of the test material as many small manageable pieces—rather than one huge piece.
The multitasker
You’re great at getting started—if by that you mean opening a textbook and highlighting while also watching cat videos and eating fruit.
The fix: It’s normal to be bored or hungry, but these things needn’t mean losing sight of your goal. ___39___For example, do work for 20 minutes, then watch a video of a cute cat. Dying to hit replay Get another 20 minutes of research done. Once the tough part (getting focused) is over, you’ll be looking through that textbook before you can say “meow”.
The avoider
You open your backpack when suddenly you’re hit by an anxiety blackout (暂时的意识丧失). ___40___
The fix: The anxious part of your mind is working. To put your sensible brain back in the driver’s seat, try meditating (冥想), which sounds a lot harder than it is. Simply sit with your eyes closed and slowly breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth. Repeat 10 times, and then start your work. You’ll feel more motivated!
A.Sure, you’ll study for tomorrow’s Spanish test!
B.Understand that procrastination isn’t caused by laziness!
C.To stay on track, turn your entertaining activities into your rewards.
D.You can’t ever imagine finishing your work, so you don’t even start.
E.You can become one of them once you learn to keep procrastination under control.
F.You’ll save yourself tons of stress if you outsmart those feelings that get in your way.
G.You may have tricked yourself into thinking you’re being productive, but you can’t fool us.

67.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Carter enjoyed riding the school bus home. The ride home gave him some time to relax after a busy day of fifth grade. He usually sat alone and enjoyed that too. With four siblings(兄妹 )he didn’t get much time alone. Sometimes he sat with his younger brother, Jackson, but Jackson was sick at home today.
The bus stopped and the tallest boy in his class, Dexter, stepped off followed by his younger brother, Billy. As the bus pulled away, Carter looked back over his shoulder to watch the boys. Dexter was yelling and waving his hands at his little brother. Billy said something Carter could not hear. Dexter yelled, gave his younger brother a hard shove and knocked him to the ground. Billy was on the ground wiping at his eyes, but Dexter walked away.
Carter turned in his seat, feeling disgusted. He hated seeing little kids get picked on (欺负). The sight of Billy on the ground crying was burned into his memory. He tried to think of something else.
He thought of the model car he was working on at home, a 1967 Corvette. He started building it over a week ago and just finished putting it together last night. Tonight, as soon as he finished his homework, he could start painting the car. That was his favorite part. He already had the perfect color of blue picked out.
He hurried off the bus, ran through his yard, and breezed through the kitchen with a quick hello to his mom. She was making spaghetti, which smelled delicious. He ran up the stairs two at a time and rushed into his room.
“Surprise!” his brother Jackson said, throwing his arms into the air. “What are you doing in my room I thought you were sick!”
“I feel better!”
“What’s on your face Are you bleeding ”
“No! I’m not bleeding.” Jackson wiped at his face. “It’s probably just paint. Look! Look what I did!” He pointed at the desk in the corner of Carter’ s room.
注意:

【原文】W: Hey, James! What’s up You look upset.
M: I don’t want to see Tom anymore.
W: Why You are close friends.
M: Well, we were, but this time he really hurt my feelings.
W: Calm down, dear. Tell me what happened.
M: I lost the book he lent me. Even though I said sorry to him and promised to buy another one for him, he was still very angry with me and even shouted at me. In my opinion, our friendship is far more important than a book. I just don’t understand why he got so angry.
W: That’s the problem. You don’t know the real reason. Maybe he is feeling sad today, or maybe the book means a lot to him. Maybe the book was given to him by someone really special.
M: Well, I didn’t take that into consideration. I should forgive him. I want to make up with him.
W: Good idea. Why don’t you buy him another book that he might be interested in
M: That sounds like a good idea. Thank you, Mom.

【原文】M: Hi, Jane. Welcome back. How was the West Coast W: Therrific. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from the city for a while. M: What did you think of Los Angeles W: It was all right. I liked it better than I thought I would. It’s very clean and spacious, and it’s got a lot of trees. The problem is transportation. The bus service is terrible, and of course, they don’t have any subway, so it’s a little difficult to get around. We had to rent a car. M: And was the weather good W: Oh, yes. It was nice and warm is Los Angeles and cool but comfortable in San Francisco. M: Cool in San Francisco That’s surprising. W: Yeah, it surprised me a bit, too. We didn’t take any sweaters or anything and they say its always like that in August. Anyway, I loved it. It’s probably the most beautiful city in the US—all those hills, the bay, and those charming old Victorian house. M: So, you like it better than Los Angeles W: Oh, yes. There’s much more to see and do. And because it’s smaller than Los Angeles, it’s a bit easier to get around. There are lots of buses and streetcars, and of course, the cable cars, too.
15.A 16.B 17.A
【原文】W: OK, put the bags in the kitchen. I want to add up what we spent.
M: I think we spent too much.
W: Well, it’s better to have good food than to buy cheap things. And the supermarket is cheaper than the local store.
M: But we have to travel farther that way.
W: I still think it makes sense.
M: Well, let’s see what we’ve got here. Do you have the receipts
W: Yes, here they are. Remember, we went to the post office as well. I bought a book of 12 stamps, and that was three dollars and fifty cents.
M: And we sent Ingrid’s letter by airmail.
W: Yes, that was quite expensive—two dollars and forty cents.
M: So, we need to add on five dollars and ninety cents to our supermarket bill.
W: We bought a lot of nice things, though. Look at these lovely strawberries.
M: How much were they
W: One dollar and ninety-nine cents.
M: We bought cream to go with them. That was a bit much.
W: Only eighty cents for a big box…We deserve it. We work hard!
18.A 19.B 20.A
【原文】Hi, everybody! I want to begin my course introduction with a very short story.It is said that when God found that human beings were becoming stronger and stronger, he himself made them speak different languages so that they could not work together against him, because they did not understand each other. So if people cannot communicate with each other, they cannot work together and help each other. That’s why we need to learn foreign languages. Of course, we don’t want to work together against God. But when we have the tool of foreign languages, we can learn about different cultures, get more information and trade internationally. I know many people get good grades in written tests. But still many of them complain of the difficulty in learning a foreign language. That’s because they learn the language just as knowledge, not as a tool. That is to say, they try to remember rules, but fail to improve their ability to use the language. In my course, you have to use your English in conversations. You will be given chances to use it properly in all kinds of real life situations. In this way, you’ll gradually improve your ability to use English. In short, you can communicate most effectively in the end. Thank you!

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界上盐度最高的湖——玫瑰湖,以及当地人怎样收获玫瑰湖里的盐和对它的保护。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段“Lac Rose in Senegal about 30 kilometers northeast of Dakar, is the highest salinity(盐度) lake in the world. Much higher salinity is what gives the lake its famous pink color that changes from a slightly rose pink in the rainy season into a super bright pink during the dry season when salinity at its highest.(位于塞内加尔达喀尔东北约30公里处的玫瑰湖是世界上盐度最高的湖。较高的盐度使湖面呈现出著名的粉色,从雨季的微玫瑰红变成旱季盐度最高时的超亮粉色)”可知湖的盐度导致湖面呈现粉色,故选B。
29.推理判断题。根据第二段的“To harvest this type of salt, salt harvesters put some wood to the bottom of the lake and over time, big salt crystals(晶体)begin to form on them.(为了收获这种类型的盐,采盐者把一些木头放在湖底,随着时间的推移,大的盐晶体开始在上面形成)”可知,收获者用传统的方法收集湖里的盐。由此推知,他们这样做是为了尽量不对湖造成危害。故选D。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The healthy, natural regulation(制度)of the use of the natural resources of this lake is one of the most impressive aspects of the community surrounding this lake. There are no laws needed to protect it. Everyone takes a little bit of what they need and nothing more. There is enough for everyone in the local community. It is a good example of the power of mutual respect and trust in local community.(对湖泊自然资源使用的健康、自然的管理是这个湖周围社区最令人印象深刻的方面之一。不需要法律来保护它。每个人都只拿一点他们需要的东西,仅此而已。当地社区的每个人都有足够的食物。这是当地社区相互尊重和信任的力量的一个很好的例子)”可知,即使没有法律保护,当地人对湖泊也能健康的使用,由此可推断当地人是负责任的,故选C。
31.推理判断题。根据整篇文章,尤其最后一段“Lac Rose is considered as a world heritage site and the local people are willing to share their beauty. The healthy, natural regulation(制度)of the use of the natural resources of this lake is one of the most impressive aspects of the community surrounding this lake. There are no laws needed to protect it. Everyone takes a little bit of what they need and nothing more. There is enough for everyone in the local community. It is a good example of the power of respect and trust in local community.(玫瑰湖被认为是世界遗产,当地人愿意分享这一美好的事物。对湖泊自然资源使用的健康、自然的管理是这个湖周围社区最令人印象深刻的方面之一。不需要法律来保护它。每个人都只拿一点他们需要的东西,仅此而已。当地社区的每个人都有足够的食物。这是当地社区相互尊重和信任的力量的一个很好的例子)”可知文章主要介绍世界上盐度最高的湖——玫瑰湖,怎样收获玫瑰湖里的盐和当地人对玫瑰湖的保护。是与自然相关的话题,由此推知本文很有可能出自报纸的“自然”版块。故选C。
32.B 33.B 34.A 35.C
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文报道了清华大学和深圳人民医院的一个团队在20个月内研制了新的抗体药物,可以将住院率和死亡率降低80%。
32.细节理解题。通读第一和第二段,尤其是根据第二段中的“It can reduce the rate of hospitalization (住院治疗) and death by 80 percent (它可以将住院率和死亡率降低80%,研究小组组长张林奇说)”可知,该药物可以极大降低病人的死亡率。因此,根据第一段和第二段,我们对新药了解到的是B项“It dramatically improves the survival rate of patients.(它极大地提高了患者的存活率)”符合题意,故选B项。
33.细节理解题。根据第四段“When a virus infects a cell, it relies on an important type of protein: the spike proteins (刺突蛋白) on its surface.The spike proteins serve as a key to unlocking a cell. If a virus cannot enter a cell, it will disappear immediately. The job of our antibodies is to block the virus from entering cells. (当病毒感染细胞时,它依赖于一种重要的蛋白质:其表面的刺突蛋白。刺突蛋白是解锁细胞的钥匙。如果病毒不能进入细胞,它会立即消失。我们的抗体的作用是阻止病毒进入细胞)”可知,我们的抗体的作用是阻止病毒进入细胞,而病毒进入细胞主要依靠其表面的刺突蛋白。因此,作者可能同意的说法是B项“Antibodies stop spike proteins entering a cell.(抗体阻止刺突蛋白进入细胞)”符合题意,故选B项。
34.细节理解题。根据第四段“The qualities of the new drug make it especially useful for high-risk groups, such as frontline medical workers and people not suitable for vaccination due to various underlying health problems. (这种新药的质量使其特别适用于高危人群,如前线医务人员和由于各种潜在健康问题而不适合接种疫苗的人)”可知,这种新药适用于高危人群,如前线医务人员等。因此,根据文章,最适合服用这种药物的是A项“Doctors and nurses.(医生和护士)”符合题意,故选A项。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Science is the key to solving the issue. Science has shown its power in all sectors (科学是解决这个问题的关键。科学在各个领域都显示了它的力量)”可知,张认为,科学是解决疫情的关键,高度重视科学的力量。因此,从最后一段可以推断出的是C项“Zhang had a high regard for the power of science.(张高度重视科学的力量)”符合题意,故选C项。

67.One possible version:
Carter looked down at his desk in horror. His Corvette! Jackson had painted it red. An awful dull shade of red! "Why would you do that " Carter shouted. "I wanted to surprise you!" Jackson grinned, with his eyes gleaming. Carter could feel the anger growing, bubbling up inside him, his hands curling into fists. Jackson kept saying something, but so angry was Carter that he couldn't even hear a word. "Do you like it I tried so hard. Look!" asked Jackson. Red paint was smeared across his face, forehead, even hair. Looking at Jackson, Carter couldn't help imagining his little brother spending the whole day carefully painting the car.
Carter took a deep breath and then unfolded his fist. Picturing the scene that Billy sit on the ground wiping at his eyes as his big brother Dexter walked away, Carter stepped toward the table where the car was still drying. Carter wasn't sure what to say. He didn't want to lie, but he didn't want to hurt his brother's feelings either. Jackson was only trying to surprise him. He could see that now. “Do you Do you like it " Jackson insisted. "Every time I look at this car, I'm going to think of you," Carter responded, a smile stretching across his face. And that was the truth. "Now, we'd better get that paint off your face before dinner."
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Carter坐校车回家,在路上看到同学Dexter把弟弟Billy推倒在地,扔下弟弟独自离开的场面,感到很厌恶。为了分散注意力,Carter想到回家后把自己制作的汽车模型漆成喜欢的蓝色,结果回家后发现弟弟在自己房间里,满脸红色油漆。原来弟弟把汽车模型漆成了红色,这让Carter非常生气,但想到弟弟花了一天时间为了给自己惊喜,想到Dexter对待弟弟的情景,Carter原谅了弟弟,并告诉弟弟每次看到汽车就会想到他。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Carter惊恐地低头看着自己的桌子。”可知,第一段可描写弟弟把汽车模型漆成了红色,Carter生气的言语和动作。
②由第二段首句内容“Carter深吸了一口气,然后摊开拳头。”可知,第二段可描写Carter由生气转为不生气的过程和想法。
2.续写线索:质问——生气——握拳——松拳——回想——原谅
3.词汇激活
行为类
①喊叫:shout /yell /cry out/ at the top of one's voice
②想象:picture /imagine/suppose
情绪类
①生气:anger/get angry/ take offence
②吃惊的:surprised /amazed/shocked
【点睛】[高分句型1] Jackson grinned, with his eyes gleaming. (运用了with的复合结构)
[高分句型2] Picturing the scene that Billy sit on the ground wiping at his eyes as his big brother Dexter walked away, Carter stepped toward the table where the car was still drying.(运用了that引导的定语从句和where引导的定语从句)
