No matter what you’re looking for, Orlando has a perfect place for every type of traveler. Here’s my list of the best places to stay in town.
The Alfond Inn
The Alfond Inn is a modern, 112-room hotel in the super-walkable heart of Winter Park. It’s a quiet, art-filled space that I think couldn’t be more suitable for honeymooners.
The hotel also has a heated outdoor pool and a great restaurant, Hamilton’s Kitchen, with a focus on local food.
The Ritz-Carlton
For luxury (奢华) and an escape from the noisy city, treat yourself to a stay at The Ritz-Carlton. Located on a peaceful 500-acre land with three indoor pools, a championship-level golf course, a 40,000-square-foot spa, a tennis club, and award-winning dining choices, I think this hotel has a true getaway experience.
The Park Plaza Hotel
Built in 1922, this 28-room hotel is on the walkable shop-and-restaurant-lined Park Avenue in Winter Park, just north of Orlando. Having an elegant lobby with European-inspired decorations and nice rooms with balconies (阳台), the Park Plaza Hotel is a popular honeymoon spot and a favorite for writers and other creative professionals like myself seeking peaceful working vacations.
The Wellborn
Near the Thornton Park neighborhood, The Wellborn, a 20-room hotel, is in Orlando’s oldest house which was built in 1883. Just a short walk from downtown’s Lake Eola, The Wellborn is near many local bars and restaurants, and it has a romantic environment with gardens and tree-lined brick streets.
1. Where is Hamilton’s Kitchen
A. At The Wellborn.
B. At The Ritz-Carlton.
C. At the Alfond Inn.
D. At the Park Plaza Hotel.
2. What can people do at The Ritz-Carlton
A. Swim outdoors.
B. Play ball games.
C. Enjoy bar drinks.
D. Do some shopping.
3. What do the Park Plaza Hotel and The Wellborn have in common
A. Restaurants are within reach.
B. They were built in 19th century.
C. Romantic gardens can be visited.
D. They have a peaceful environment.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是奥兰多几个旅游的好住处。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Alfond Inn部分中的“The hotel also has a heated outdoor pool and a great restaurant, Hamilton’s Kitchen, with a focus on local food.(酒店还设有室外温水游泳池和一流的餐厅Hamilton’s Kitchen，供应当地美食。)”可知，Hamilton’s Kitchen在The Alfond Inn中。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Ritz-Carlton部分中的“Located on a peaceful 500-acre land with three indoor pools, a championship-level golf course, a 40,000-square-foot spa, a tennis club, and award-winning dining choices, I think this hotel has a true getaway experience.(酒店坐落在占地 500 英亩的宁静土地上，拥有三个室内游泳池、一个锦标赛级高尔夫球场、一个 40，000 平方英尺的水疗中心、一个网球俱乐部和屡获殊荣的餐饮选择，我认为这家酒店拥有真正的度假体验。)”可知，该地有高尔夫球场，网球俱乐部，所以可以在这里打球。故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据the Park Plaza Hotel中的“Built in 1922, this 28-room hotel is on the walkable shop-and-restaurant-lined Park Avenue in Winter Park, just north of Orlando.(这家酒店建于 1922 年，拥有 28 间客房，位于奥兰多北部温特帕克的步行商店和餐厅林立的公园大道上。)”以及The Wellborn部分中的“Just a short walk from downtown’s Lake Eola, The Wellborn is near many local bars and restaurants, and it has a romantic environment with gardens and tree-lined brick streets.(The Wellborn酒店距离市中心的Lake Eola仅几步之遥，靠近许多当地的酒吧和餐馆，拥有浪漫的环境，设有花园和绿树成荫的砖砌街道。)”可知，这两个住处距离餐厅都很近。故选A项。
B
Few people have achieved fame for coming in last place. That is why Michael Edwards, or “Eddie the Eagle”, became a rather unexpected hero. Unlike most athletes, Eddie did not come to the 1988 Calgary Olympic Winter Games for a medal. He came simply to compete. In doing so, he realized his dream.
At first, Eddie tried to make the British national ski team but failed. Then he chose the riskiest event, ski jumping. No British skier had ever competed in that sport, but having no competitors meant that Eddie had a better chance of qualifying (取得资格) for the 1988 Olympic. Games. It also meant there was no support for him. Eddie had no coach, equipment, or financial support, but what he had was determination. Not afraid of what he lacked, Eddie set out to learn his chosen sport, training himself for nearly 2 years. And he managed to meet the qualification for Olympic ski jumping, and landed himself in the 1988 Olympic Games. Eddie was determined to compete, and while he came in last, he did manage to land his jumps, and he still holds the British record in that ing in last place actually made him the star of the Olympics and the true embodiment (化身) of the Olympic spirit.
Many of us may have experienced similar limitations during our own youth that prevented us from following our dreams. Eddie’s rejection (拒绝) from the British national ski team is a story that many of us can relate to. Rejection can be devastating, but we can struggle to find the courage to put ourselves back out there, or the creativity to find another way.
4. What was Eddie’s dream
A. To become a hero.
B. To join the national ski team.
C. To take part in the Olympics.
D. To develop his ski jumping skills.
5. Why did Eddie choose ski jumping as his event
A. It was popular among British skiers.
B. It meant a better chance to win a medal.
C. He would get the support he needed in this event.
D. He would be more likely to be included in the Olympics.
6. What made Eddie the star of the Olympics
A. His caring little for fame.
B. His professional performance.
C. His breaking the British record.
D. His determination to follow his dream.
7. What does the underlined word “devastating” mean in the last paragraph
A. Unforgettable. B. Disastrous. C. Sudden. D. Confusing.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Michael Edwards虽然在奥运会上的跳台滑雪项目中只获得了最后一名，但是他所代表的奥运精神却激励了更多人去追逐梦想。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Unlike most athletes, Eddie did not come to the 1988 Calgary Olympic Winter Games for a medal. He came simply to compete. In doing so, he realized his dream.(与大多数运动员不同的是，Eddie并没有为了奖牌而参加1988年卡尔加里冬季奥运会。他来只是为了比赛。这样，他实现了自己的梦想。)”可知，他的梦想就是参加奥运会。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“At first, Eddie tried to make the British national ski team but failed. Then he chose the riskiest event, ski jumping. No British skier had ever competed in that sport, but having no competitors meant that Eddie had a better chance of qualifying (取得资格) for the 1988 Olympic Games.(起初，Eddie试图加入英国国家滑雪队，但失败了。然后他选择了风险最大的项目——跳台滑雪。没有英国滑雪运动员参加过这项运动，但是没有竞争对手意味着Eddie有更好的机会获得1988年奥运会的资格。)”可推断，Eddie选择这个项目是因为英国没有滑雪运动员参加这项运动，所以Eddie没有竞争对手，那么就更有机会获得参加奥运会的资格。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Eddie had no coach, equipment, or financial support, but what he had was determination. Not afraid of what he lacked, Eddie set out to learn his chosen sport, training himself for nearly 2 years. And he managed to meet the qualification for Olympic ski jumping, and landed himself in the 1988 Olympic Games. Eddie was determined to compete, and while he came in last, he did manage to land his jumps, and he still holds the British record in that ing in last place actually made him the star of the Olympics and the true embodiment (化身) of the Olympic spirit.( Eddie没有教练，没有设备，也没有资金支持，但他有决心。Eddie并不害怕他所缺少的东西，他开始学习他所选择的运动，自己训练了近两年。他成功地获得了奥运会跳台滑雪的资格，并参加了1988年奥运会。Eddie决心参加比赛，虽然他是最后一名，但他成功地完成了跳跃，他仍然保持着这项运动的英国纪录。最后一名让他成为了奥运明星，成为了奥运精神的真正化身。)”可推断，Eddie成为奥运明星是因为尽管得了最后一名，但是他勇于追求梦想的决心体现了奥运精神，使得他成为了奥运之星。故选D。
【7题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“but we can struggle to find the courage to put ourselves back out there, or the creativity to find another way.(但我们可以努力找到勇气让自己回到那里，或者找到另一种方式的创造力。)”可知，but表示前后文是转折关系，因此推断被拒绝可能是毁灭性的，但是我们可以努力找到勇气让自己重新回到那里。所以devastating为“毁灭性的”之意。选项A“Unforgettable (令人难忘的)”；选项B“Disastrous (灾难性的)”；选项C“Sudden (突然的)”；选项D“Confusing (令人困惑的)”。故选B。
C
CAMBODIA—The “world’s loneliest elephant” has been resettled at a nature reserve (保护区) in the Oddar Meanchey Province after receiving some help from singer Cher recently.
Kaavan, a 36-year-old, 9,000-pound elephant, was given the nickname after he suffered from emotional and physical problems while living in a zoo in Pakistan for 35 years. During that time, Kaavan was mostly tied in his enclosure (圈用地), and when his partner died in 2012, her body lay next to him for several days before it was removed. Doctors said Kaavan was overweight, malnourished (营养不良的) and suffering from behavioral problems due to loneliness.
Cher, who has been advocating Kaavan’s resettlement, met with Pakistani Prime Minister on Friday and later visited Kaavan in the zoo. Kaavan was tested for COVID-19 before his seven-hour journey, during which 440 pounds of food were prepared. A doctor took care of him on the flight and worked with Four Paws, the animal rescue group that organized the move. He said Kaavan did not seem stressed and even slept during the flight. Very few elephants have been relocated by plane, according to Four Paws.
On Monday Kaavan arrived in Cambodia and made his way north by truck to his new home. Once he feels settled, he will be set free from his enclosure and allowed to wander around the reserve, which houses about 600 Asian elephants. Experts say Kaavan will get a long term of psychological and physical treatment. Years of living in an enclosure with poor flooring has caused his nail to crack and overgrow and he has developed a habit of shaking his head back and forth for hours, which is believed to be out of boredom.
The elephant has lost half a ton since his diet was changed to fruit and vegetables. The zoo where he spent much of his life has been ordered to shut down.
8. What do we know about the elephant
A. It had a weight problem.
B. It was kept free in the zoo.
C. It was all alone in his enclosure.
D. It lived in a reserve for 35 years.
9. According to the text, which of the following can best describe the move
A. Dangerous. B. Uncomfortable. C. Well-organized. D. Wide-spread.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The introduction to his new home.
B. The further arrangements for Kaavan.
C. The cause of Kaavan’s health problems.
D. The medical treatment Kaavan will receive.
11. What is the text
A. A news report.
B. A short story of an elephant.
C. A research article.
D. An advertisement to a nature reserve.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道的是36岁的大象Kaavan被安置在一处新的自然保护区的相关情况及其现状。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Doctors said Kaavan was overweight, malnourished (营养不良的) and suffering from behavioral problems due to loneliness.(医生说，Kaavan超重，营养不良，并且由于孤独而患有行为问题。)”可知，医生说，该大象超重，且营养不良。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Cher, who has been advocating Kaavan’s resettlement, met with Pakistani Prime Minister on Friday and later visited Kaavan in the zoo. Kaavan was tested for COVID-19 before his seven-hour journey, during which 440 pounds of food were prepared. A doctor took care of him on the flight and worked with Four Paws, the animal rescue group that organized the move.(一直主张重新安置卡万的雪儿周五会见了巴基斯坦总理，后来在动物园参观了卡万。卡万在 7 小时的旅程之前接受了 COVID-19 检测，在此期间准备了 440 磅的食物。一名医生在飞行中照顾他，并与组织这次行动的动物救援组织Four Paws合作。)”可知，对于对大象Kaavan的重新安置，从时间上，人员配备上以及其旅途中的照顾方面都有了充分的安排，由此判断，这次迁移大象是组织有序的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Once he feels settled, he will be set free from his enclosure and allowed to wander around the reserve, which houses about 600 Asian elephants. Experts say Kaavan will get a long term of psychological and physical treatment.(一旦他感到安定下来，他将被从他的围栏中解放出来，并被允许在拥有约600头亚洲象的保护区周围徘徊。专家表示，Kaavan将得到长期的心理和身体治疗。)”可知，Kaavan到达新家后，会将其从封闭的环境中释放出来，并将对其进行心理和景深方面的治疗，由此可知，该段的主题是Kaavan到达新居住地后的安排。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段“CAMBODIA—The “world’s loneliest elephant” has been resettled at a nature reserve (保护区) in the Oddar Meanchey Province after receiving some help from singer Cher recently.(柬埔寨——“世界上最孤独的大象”在最近得到歌手Cher的一些帮助后，被重新安置在Oddar Meanchey省的一个自然保护区。)”可知，该段介绍了本文的主题为世界上最孤独的大象已经被重新安置到一个自然保护区，下文开始讲述安置这头大象的具体工作，符合新闻报导类的文章的文体特征。且新闻报道类的文章，开篇通常会有新闻发生地或者新闻媒体的名称，本文开篇的CAMBODIA(柬埔寨)为故事发生地。故选A项。
D
Dumbphones have very limited functions compared to an iPhone. You can only make and receive calls and messages. And, if you are lucky-listen to radio and take very basic photos, but absolutely not connect to the internet or apps.
Dumbphones are enjoying a comeback. Google searches for them increased by 89% between 2018 and 2021. Meanwhile, a study said that one in 10 mobile phone users in the UK had a dumbphone. Kaiwei Tang, CEO of Light Phone, a maker of dumbphones said that, surprisingly, the company’s main customers are aged between 25 and 35. He says he expected buyers to be much older.
Sandra Wachter, a researcher at Oxford University, says that it’s easy to see why some of us are looking for simpler mobile phones. One can reasonably say that nowadays a smart phone’s ability to connect calls and send messages is almost a side function. Your smart phone is your entertainment centre, your newspaper, your map, your diary, and your wallet. They always want to catch your attention with notices and latest news.
“If aliens came to earth they’d think that mobile phones are the creatures controlling human beings,” Mr. Tang says. “It’s not going to stop. Instead, it’s getting worse. Consumers are realizing that something is wrong, and we want to offer a choice.”
Last year Przemek Olejniczak, changed his smartphone for a dumphone at first for its longer-lasting battery. However, he soon realized there were other benefits. “Before I would always be checking, going through the news, or other facts I didn’t need to know,“ he says. ”Now I have more time for my family and myself. And I’m not addicted to liking, sharing, or describing my life to other people. I have more privacy.“
Yet back in London, Robin West says that many people are confused by her choice of mobile. “Everyone thinks it’s just a short-term thing. They’re always asking me: ‘So when are you getting a smartphone Are you getting one this week ’ ”
12. What surprises Kaiwei Tang about dumbphones
A. Few people show interest in them.
B. They are coming into fashion again.
C. Their buyers are mainly young people.
D. Dumbphones are in a wider use than smartphones.
13. What does Sandra Wachter think of people’s turning to dumbphones
A. Understandable. B. Unusual. C. Thoughtless. D. Meaningful.
14. What does the author mention Robin West in the last paragraph
A. To give suggestions on mobile choice.
B. To show public support for dumbphones.
C. To make a prediction about the future of dumbphones.
D. To introduce a different opinion on using dumbphones.
15. Which of the following might be a suitable title for the text
A. Dumbphones are Here to Stay
B. A Generation Controlled by Smartphones
C. Smartphones: Where are they leading us
D. Another Choice The Return of Dumbphones
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种现象，越来越多的人开始舍弃智能手机，而选择只拥有基本功能的旧式手机。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Kaiwei Tang, CEO of Light Phone, a maker of dumbphones said that, surprisingly, the company’s main customers are aged between 25 and 35. He says he expected buyers to be much older.(旧式手机制造商Light Phone的首席执行官唐凯伟表示，令人惊讶的是，该公司的主要客户年龄在25岁至35岁之间。他说，他预计买家的年龄会大得多。)”可知，他对于旧式手机使用者如此年轻感到惊讶。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Sandra Wachter, a researcher at Oxford University, says that it’s easy to see why some of us are looking for simpler mobile phones. One can reasonably say that nowadays a smart phone’s ability to connect calls and send messages is almost a side function.(牛津大学的研究人员Sandra Wachter说，很容易理解为什么我们中的一些人在寻找更简单的手机。人们可以合理地说，如今智能手机的接电话和发送信息的能力几乎是一个附带功能。)”可推断，他对于人们重新选择旧式手机感到可以理解。选项A“Understandable. (可理解的)”；选项B“Unusual. (不同往常的)”；选项C“Thoughtless. (轻率的)”；选项D“Meaningful. (有意义的)”。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet back in London, Robin West says that many people are confused by her choice of mobile. “Everyone thinks it’s just a short-term thing. They’re always asking me: ‘So when are you getting a smartphone Are you getting one this week ’ ”(但在伦敦， Robin West表示，许多人对她选择手机感到困惑：“每个人都认为这只是短期的事情。他们总是问我：‘你什么时候买智能手机？你这周会收到吗 ’”)”可知，还是有很多人对于重新使用旧式手机感到困惑。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Dumbphones are enjoying a comeback. Google searches for them increased by 89% between 2018 and 2021. Meanwhile, a study said that one in 10 mobile phone users in the UK had a dumbphone.(旧式手机正在卷土重来。从2018年到2021年，谷歌上对它们的搜索量增加了89%。与此同时，一项研究表明，英国十分之一的手机用户使用的是旧式手机。)”及全文可知，文章主要讲述的是人们开始重新选择使用旧式手机。所以“Another Choice The Return of Dumbphones(另一个选择吗 旧式手机的回归)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Last year, I started to learn improv (即兴表演), the art of performing comedy without a script (剧本),which helped fight my anxiety both onstage and in daily life. ____16____ For example, it can increase creativity and acceptance of uncertainty. Here are three rules that can not only be used in improv but also in daily life.
Rule 1: Yes, and
When you’re on stage and your partner says, “Congratulations on opening this book shop,” don’t say, “We’re not in a book shop, we’re at my pet shop.”____17____ Instead, you should say “Yes, and do you want to have a look ”
In life, we often say no to new ideas because of uncertainty. But the idea of “Yes, and,” gives us a moment to listen and create something new from what is offered.
Rule 2: Accept mistakes
If you do something you didn’t mean to do — for example, you mispronounced a word - you can’t stop to do a retake. You have to find some humor and continue on. To me, I would make the mispronunciation part of my role’s quirks (怪癖).
Mistakes can bring us shame and embarrassment. But if we accept them, we’re less likely to keep thinking about them. Ask yourself, was that mistake really the end of the world ____18____
Rule 3: ____19____
Your identity, experiences and view on life can be integrated (融入) in your performance. For example, Sajid, a South Asian, has to play an elder person. She will never act weak or forgettable as most actors do to make audience laugh, she says. In her culture, elders are respectable - so she will show what they are truly like in her community. ____20____
Being yourself can add value to your performance and your life. Allow yourself to be yourself and remind yourself that your voice matters.
A. Stay true to yourself.
B. Show your creativity.
C. Just like in improv and in everyday life, it’s usually not.
D. In this way you can-avoid mistakes in the future performance.
E. This way of acting are usually understood and liked by the audience.
F. That would make it hard for your partner to continue the performance.
G. Actually there are many other mental health benefits of performing this art.
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. C 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用于即兴演讲和日常生活的三个规则。
【16题详解】
根据空前的“Last year, I started to learn improv (即兴表演)，the art of performing comedy without a script (剧本)，which helped fight my anxiety both onstage and in daily life. (去年，我开始学习即兴表演，一种没有剧本的喜剧艺术，这有助于对抗我在舞台上和日常生活中的焦虑。)”可知，此处讲述的是即兴演讲给作者带来的好处，空后“For example, it can increase creativity and acceptance of uncertainty. (例如，它可以增加创造力和对不确定性的接受度。)”讲述的也是即兴演讲带来的好处，由此可知，此空内容与即兴演讲的好处有关，G选项“Actually there are many other mental health benefits of performing this art. ( 实际上，表演这种艺术还有许多其他心理健康益处。)”讲述的内容涉及到了即兴演讲的益处，起到承上启下的作用。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据空前的“don’t say, “We’re not in a book shop, we’re at my pet shop.” (不要说：“我们不是在书店里，而是在我的宠物店里。”)”以及空后“Instead, you should say “Yes, and do you want to have a look ” (相反，你应该说 “是的，你想看看吗？”)”中的instead可知，该空内容与此处相反，表达的内容应该是说了空前内容后产生的结果不佳，所以才有空后该如何表达更合适，F选项“That would make it hard for your partner to continue the performance. (这将使您的伴侣难以继续表现。)”中的that指代内容与空前内容吻合，且符合上下文语境。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据空前“Ask yourself, was that mistake really the end of the world (问问自己，这个错误真的是世界末日吗？)”为提出问题，此空应对此问题作出回答，C选项“Just like in improv and in everyday life, it’s usually not.(就像在即兴表演和日常生活中一样，通常不是。)”中的内容回答了空前的问题，且语意吻合。故选C项。
【19题详解】
分析语篇以及空格位置可知，此处为本段的小标题，且与上两段的小标题一样，应为祈使句，故选项A和B符合条件，根据空后的“Your identity, experiences and view on life can be integrated (融入) in your performance.(你的身份、经历和对生活的看法可以融入你的表演中。)”可知，该段讲述的是个人情况可以融入即兴演讲之中，由此可知，即兴演讲要保持真我，A选项“Stay true to yourself. (忠于自己。)”内容符合题意。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据空格所处的位置可知，此空内容是对空前的“In her culture, elders are respectable - so she will show what they are truly like in her community. (在她的文化中，长者是受人尊敬的——所以她将展示他们在她的社区中的真实情况。)”进行总结，该空应为空前的做法会产生什么样的效果，E选项“This way of acting are usually understood and liked by the audience. (这种演技方式通常被观众理解和喜欢。)”中的this way of acting与空前内容吻合且符合题意。故选E项。
第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。
There is no way they just drove into that water, thought Evans. The 16-year-old was hanging out when a car with three teenage girls inside fell into the river. It came to rest some 20 feet from land, then sank. The ____21____, Evans would learn, had blindly followed ____22____ directions from her GPS.

42. where 43. going
44. buses 45. easier
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了大埃及博物馆(GEM)，展示埃及丰富的历史和文明。
【36题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：很少有国家拥有像埃及这样丰富的历史和文明，因此预计将于今年晚些时候开放的大埃及博物馆(GEM)将成为世界上最大的考古博物馆也就不足为奇了。根据句意和时间状语this year可知，此处应用一般现在时，谓语动词expect和从句主语which之间是被动关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态。which替代的先行词the Grand Egyptian Museum(GEM)为单数，主谓一致，故填is expected。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它的建造成本超过10亿美元。it costs sth to do sth是固定句型，不定式作形式主语。故填to build。
【38题详解】
考查冠词、固定短语。句意：完工后，它将容纳大量埃及古代物品，包括国王坟墓的珍宝。a number of是固定短语，所连接的单词large发音以辅音开头，故填a。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：GEM(大埃及博物馆)也被称为Giza博物馆，距离Giza金字塔约2公里。非谓语动词know和前文The GEM之间是被动关系，故用其过去分词作后置定语，逗号隔开，相当于非限制性定语从句。故填known。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：这并不是埃及吸引游客的唯一景点。此处应用介词to“到”后接地点，draw sb to a place意为“吸引某人到某地”。故填to。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：其他新景点包括开罗埃及文明国家博物馆(NMEC)的木乃伊馆和附近萨卡拉的两座古墓。前后文之间是并列关系，应用连词and连接。故填and。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：其中之一是Djoser之墓，那里的路径是如此令人困惑，一旦你进入，就很难找到你的路。此处引导非限制性定语从句，从句中不缺少主语或宾语，先行词为Tomb of Djoser，应用关系副词where引导，作地点状语。故填where。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：甚至去金字塔也更方便，有了电动巴士，你可以去那里，有了更多的用餐场所和更好的服务。此处应用动名词作主语。故填going。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：甚至去金字塔也更方便，有了电动巴士，你可以去那里，有了更多的用餐场所和更好的服务。此处可数名词短语electric bus为复数概念，零冠词可数名词复数表泛指。故填buses。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：尽管埃及在新冠肺炎大流行期间受到了影响，但它拥有强大的旅游基础设施，比你想象的要容易得多。根据比较连词than可知，形容词应用比较级。故填easier。
第四部分写作
第一节单句翻译(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分)
阅读下面各小题，根据汉语提示和句末括号内的英语单词及要求完成句子，并将答案写在横线上。
46. 如果你没睡好，第二天你可能会发现很难集中注意力学习。(it作形式宾语) （汉译英）
【答案】If you don’t sleep well/If you fail to sleep well, you may find it hard/difficult to concentrate/focus (your attention) on the class/study the next/following day.
Without good sleep, you may find it hard/difficult to concentrate/focus (your attention) on the class/study the next/following day.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态、非谓语动词、条件状语从句和it作形式宾语。“如果你没睡好”可以用if引导的条件状语从句If you don’t sleep well/If you fail to sleep well或用介词Without good sleep；“你可能会发现”翻译为you may find；动词find后用it作形式宾语；“很难”用形容词hard/difficult，后接不定式作真正的宾语。“集中注意力”翻译为concentrate/focus (your attention) on；“第二天”翻译为the next/following day，在句中作时间状语。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。根据句意，故翻译为If you don’t sleep well/If you fail to sleep well, you may find it hard/difficult to concentrate/focus (your attention) on the class/study the next/following day./Without good sleep, you may find it hard/difficult to concentrate/focus (your attention) on the class/study the next/following day.
47. 成立一个组织来保护文物是值得。(worthwhile) （汉译英）
【答案】It is worthwhile to establish/set up a committee/an organization to protect cultural relics/heritage.
It is worthwhile establishing/setting up a committee/an organization to protect cultural relics/heritage.
Establishing/Setting up a committee/an organization to protect cultural relics/heritage is worthwhile.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、非谓语动词和时态。“……是值得的”翻译为It is worthwhile to do sth.或It is worthwhile doing sth.或直接用形容词worthwhile作表语；“成立一个组织”翻译为 establish/set up a committee/an organization；“保护文物”翻译为 protect cultural relics/heritage。句中用不定式作目的状语。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。根据句意，故翻译为It is worthwhile to establish/set up a committee/an organization to protect cultural relics/heritage./It is worthwhile establishing/setting up a committee/an organization to protect cultural relics/heritage./Establishing/Setting up a committee/an organization to protect cultural relics/heritage is worthwhile.
48. 尽管多次失败，他没有失去信心，并且为国家带来了荣誉。(despite) （汉译英）
【答案】Despite many failures, he didn’t lose heart/confidence and brought honour/honor/glory to his country.
Despite failing many times, he didn’t lose heart/confidence and brought honour/honor /glory to his country.
【解析】
【详解】考查介词和动词短语。分析句子可知，表示“尽管多次失败”在句中作状语，应译为despite many failures，表示“失去信心”应为lose heart/confidence；“给国家带来荣誉”应为bring honour/honor /glory to his country；结合句意可知，此处叙述的是过去的事情，所以应使用一般过去时态，“并且”为and是并列连词，连接两个谓语动词lose和bring且都用于一般过去时态，所以“没有失去信心”应为he didn’t lose heart/confidence。故翻译为Despite many failures, he didn’t lose heart/confidence and brought honour/honor/glory to his country.
49. 被困在废墟中的人们被救了出来。(定语从句；trap) （汉译英）
【答案】People/Those who were trapped in/under the ruins were rescued/saved.
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构和时态。根据句意可知，本句描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时。表示主语“人们”可用名词people或代词those；表示“被困在废墟中的”为who引导的定语从句who were trapped in the ruins，动词trap和主语之间是被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，介词under可替换in；表示句子谓语“被救了出来”，动词可用rescue或save，和主语之间是被动关系，用一般过去时的被动语态。注意主谓一致，句首字母大写，故可翻译为People/Those who were trapped in/under the ruins were rescued/saved.
50. 我想推荐一门中国书法课程，在那里你可以欣赏中国文化。(定语从句；calligraphy) （汉译英）
【答案】I’d like to recommend a Chinese calligraphy course where you can appreciate Chinese culture.
I’d like to recommend a Chinese calligraphy course through/in which you can appreciate Chinese culture.
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构和从句。表示“我想推荐一门中国书法课程”可译为I’d like to recommend a Chinese calligraphy course，would like to do sth意为“想要干某事”；表示“在那里你可以欣赏中国文化”可用where引导的定语从句where you can appreciate Chinese culture，修饰先行词course，where在从句中作地点状语，意为“在那里”；where可用in which或through which替换，关系代词which指代先行词course。故可翻译为I’d like to recommend a Chinese calligraphy course where you can appreciate Chinese culture.或I’d like to recommend a Chinese calligraphy course through/in which you can appreciate Chinese culture.

No matter what you’re looking for, Orlando has a perfect place for every type of traveler. Here’s my list of the best places to stay in town.
The Alfond Inn
The Alfond Inn is a modern 112-room hotel in the super-walkable heart of Winter Park. It’s a quiet, art-filled space that I think couldn’t be more suitable for honeymooners.
The hotel also has a heated outdoor pool and a great restaurant Hamilton’s Kitchen, with a focus on local food.
The Ritz-Carlton
For luxury (奢华) and an escape from the noisy city, treat yourself to a stay at The Ritz-Carlton. Located on a peaceful 500-acre land with three indoor pools, a championship-level golf course, a 40,000-square-foot spa, a tennis club, and award-winning dining choices, I think this hotel has a true getaway experience.
The Park Plaza Hotel
Built in 1922, this 28-room hotel is on the walkable shop-and-restaurant-lined Park Avenue in Winter Park, just north of Orlando. Having an elegant lobby with European-inspired decorations and nice rooms with balconies (阳台), the Park Plaza Hotel is a popular honeymoon spot and a favorite for writers and other creative professionals like myself seeking peaceful working vacations.
The Wellborn
Near the Thornton Park neighborhood, The Wellborn, a 20-room hotel, is in Orlando’s oldest house which was built in 1883. Just a short walk from downtown’s Lake Eola, The Wellborn is near many local bars and restaurants, and it has a romantic environment with gardens and tree-lined brick streets.
1. Where is Hamilton’s Kitchen
A. At The Wellborn.
B. At The Ritz-Carlton.
C. At the Alfond Inn.
D. At the Park Plaza Hotel.
2. What can people do at The Ritz-Carlton
A. Swim outdoors.
B. Play ball games.
C Enjoy bar drinks.
D. Do some shopping.
3. What do the Park Plaza Hotel and The Wellborn have in common
A. Restaurants are within reach.
B. They were built in 19th century.
C. Romantic gardens can be visited.
D. They have a peaceful environment.
B
Few people have achieved fame for coming in last place. That is why Michael Edwards, or “Eddie the Eagle”, became a rather unexpected hero. Unlike most athletes, Eddie did not come to the 1988 Calgary Olympic Winter Games for a medal. He came simply to compete. In doing so, he realized his dream.
At first, Eddie tried to make the British national ski team but failed. Then he chose the riskiest event, ski jumping. No British skier had ever competed in that sport, but having no competitors meant that Eddie had a better chance of qualifying (取得资格) for the 1988 Olympic. Games. It also meant there was no support for him. Eddie had no coach, equipment, or financial support, but what he had was determination. Not afraid of what he lacked, Eddie set out to learn his chosen sport, training himself for nearly 2 years. And he managed to meet the qualification for Olympic ski jumping, and landed himself in the 1988 Olympic Games. Eddie was determined to compete, and while he came in last, he did manage to land his jumps, and he still holds the British record in that ing in last place actually made him the star of the Olympics and the true embodiment (化身) of the Olympic spirit.
Many of us may have experienced similar limitations during our own youth that prevented us from following our dreams. Eddie’s rejection (拒绝) from the British national ski team is a story that many of us can relate to. Rejection can be devastating, but we can struggle to find the courage to put ourselves back out there, or the creativity to find another way.
4. What was Eddie’s dream
A. To become a hero.
B. To join the national ski team.
C. To take part in the Olympics.
D. To develop his ski jumping skills.
5. Why did Eddie choose ski jumping as his event
A. It was popular among British skiers.
B. It meant a better chance to win a medal.
C. He would get the support he needed in this event.
D. He would be more likely to be included in the Olympics.
6. What made Eddie the star of the Olympics
A. His caring little for fame.
B. His professional performance.
C. His breaking the British record.
D. His determination to follow his dream.
7. What does the underlined word “devastating” mean in the last paragraph
A. Unforgettable. B. Disastrous. C. Sudden. D. Confusing.
C
CAMBODIA—The “world’s loneliest elephant” has been resettled at a nature reserve (保护区) in the Oddar Meanchey Province after receiving some help from singer Cher recently.
Kaavan, a 36-year-old, 9,000-pound elephant, was given the nickname after he suffered from emotional and physical problems while living in a zoo in Pakistan for 35 years. During that time, Kaavan was mostly tied in his enclosure (圈用地), and when his partner died in 2012, her body lay next to him for several days before it was removed. Doctors said Kaavan was overweight, malnourished (营养不良的) and suffering from behavioral problems due to loneliness.
Cher, who has been advocating Kaavan’s resettlement, met with Pakistani Prime Minister on Friday and later visited Kaavan in the zoo. Kaavan was tested for COVID-19 before his seven-hour journey, during which 440 pounds of food were prepared. A doctor took care of him on the flight and worked with Four Paws, the animal rescue group that organized the move. He said Kaavan did not seem stressed and even slept during the flight. Very few elephants have been relocated by plane, according to Four Paws.
On Monday, Kaavan arrived in Cambodia and made his way north by truck to his new home. Once he feels settled, he will be set free from his enclosure and allowed to wander around the reserve, which houses about 600 Asian elephants. Experts say Kaavan will get a long term of psychological and physical treatment. Years of living in an enclosure with poor flooring has caused his nail to crack and overgrow and he has developed a habit of shaking his head back and forth for hours, which is believed to be out of boredom.
The elephant has lost half a ton since his diet was changed to fruit and vegetables. The zoo where he spent much of his life has been ordered to shut down.
8. What do we know about the elephant
A. It had a weight problem.
B. It was kept free in the zoo.
C. It was all alone in his enclosure.
D. It lived in a reserve for 35 years.
9. According to the text, which of the following can best describe the move
A. Dangerous. B. Uncomfortable. C. Well-organized. D. Wide-spread.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The introduction to his new home.
B. The further arrangements for Kaavan.
C. The cause of Kaavan’s health problems.
D. The medical treatment Kaavan will receive.
11. What is the text
A. A news report.
B. A short story of an elephant.
C. A research article.

Dumbphones have very limited functions compared to an iPhone. You can only make and receive calls and messages. And, if you are lucky-listen to radio and take very basic photos, but absolutely not connect to the internet or apps.
Dumbphones are enjoying a comeback. Google searches for them increased by 89% between 2018 and 2021. Meanwhile, a study said that one in 10 mobile phone users in the UK had a dumbphone. Kaiwei Tang, CEO of Light Phone, a maker of dumbphones said that, surprisingly, the company’s main customers are aged between 25 and 35. He says he expected buyers to be much older.
Sandra Wachter, a researcher at Oxford University, says that it’s easy to see why some of us are looking for simpler mobile phones. One can reasonably say that nowadays a smart phone’s ability to connect calls and send messages is almost a side function. Your smart phone is your entertainment centre, your newspaper, your map, your diary, and your wallet. They always want to catch your attention with notices and latest news.
“If aliens came to earth they’d think that mobile phones are the creatures controlling human beings,” Mr. Tang says. “It’s not going to stop. Instead, it’s getting worse. Consumers are realizing that something is wrong, and we want to offer a choice.”
Last year, Przemek Olejniczak, changed his smartphone for a dumphone at first for its longer-lasting battery. However, he soon realized there were other benefits. “Before I would always be checking, going through the news, or other facts I didn’t need to know,“ he says. ”Now I have more time for my family and myself. And I’m not addicted to liking, sharing, or describing my life to other people. I have more privacy.“
Yet back in London, Robin West says that many people are confused by her choice of mobile. “Everyone thinks it’s just a short-term thing. They’re always asking me: ‘So when are you getting a smartphone Are you getting one this week ’ ”
12. What surprises Kaiwei Tang about dumbphones
A. Few people show interest in them.
B. They are coming into fashion again.
C. Their buyers are mainly young people.
D. Dumbphones are in a wider use than smartphones.
13. What does Sandra Wachter think of people’s turning to dumbphones
A. Understandable. B. Unusual. C. Thoughtless. D. Meaningful.
14 What does the author mention Robin West in the last paragraph
A. To give suggestions on mobile choice.
B. To show public support for dumbphones.
C. To make a prediction about the future of dumbphones.
D. To introduce a different opinion on using dumbphones.
15. Which of the following might be a suitable title for the text
A. Dumbphones are Here to Stay
B. A Generation Controlled by Smartphones
C. Smartphones: Where are they leading us
D. Another Choice The Return of Dumbphones

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Last year, I started to learn improv (即兴表演), the art of performing comedy without a script (剧本),which helped fight my anxiety both onstage and in daily life. ____16____ For example, it can increase creativity and acceptance of uncertainty. Here are three rules that can not only be used in improv but also in daily life.
Rule 1: Yes, and
When you’re on stage and your partner says, “Congratulations on opening this book shop,” don’t say, “We’re not in a book shop, we’re at my pet shop.”____17____ Instead, you should say “Yes, and do you want to have a look ”
In life, we often say no to new ideas because of uncertainty. But the idea of “Yes, and,” gives us a moment to listen and create something new from what is offered.
Rule 2: Accept mistakes
If you do something you didn’t mean to do — for example, you mispronounced a word - you can’t stop to do a retake. You have to find some humor and continue on. To me, I would make the mispronunciation part of my role’s quirks (怪癖).
Mistakes can bring us shame and embarrassment. But if we accept them, we’re less likely to keep thinking about them. Ask yourself, was that mistake really the end of the world ____18____
Rule 3: ____19____
Your identity, experiences and view on life can be integrated (融入) in your performance. For example, Sajid, a South Asian, has to play an elder person. She will never act weak or forgettable as most actors do to make audience laugh, she says. In her culture, elders are respectable - so she will show what they are truly like in her community. ____20____
Being yourself can add value to your performance and your life. Allow yourself to be yourself and remind yourself that your voice matters.
A. Stay true to yourself.
B. Show your creativity.
C. Just like in improv and in everyday life, it’s usually not.
D. In this way you can-avoid mistakes in the future performance.
E. This way of acting are usually understood and liked by the audience.
F. That would make it hard for your partner to continue the performance.
G. Actually there are many other mental health benefits of performing this art.
