Gardening changed how I see myself as a disabled woman. When I started gardening in 2018, I didn’t know anything about plants, let alone how to grow things we can eat.

But just like how I gradually learnt everything else as a disabled person, I had to 4 how to garden my way.That first season, I visited my garden as much as I could. Noticing my interest in gardening, my neighbors in the community 5 offered me advice and support. Under their careful 6 , I managed to pull up the weeds and watered my plants on my own. Finally, I was so proud to eat the tomatoes I grew and even shared some with neighbors. They tasted like summertime.Gardening has 7 how I see other parts of my life. As a disabled woman, I fear being seen as a 8 and struggle to ask for the things I need. Gardening helped me normalize the fact that I have needs. I don’t think my plant is a heavy load because it needs more nutrition. I don’t 9 it for getting insects and not being able to fight against them. Gardening also helped me expand my social circle and grow close to people in our community.Over the years, gardening has made me feel more confident in every aspect of my life. I’m planting what I want to grow, and I have gained a lot of 10 from that.1. A. simple B. physical C. pleasant D. urgent2. A. change B. rest C. break D. move3.

第一节阅读表达40. Being alone, socially isolated and feeling a lack of purpose.41.Early memory loss and depression contribute to each other. Early memory loss can cause depression, and depression can in turn worsen memory loss.42. People diagnosed with depression can reduce their treatment once they start to feel better.According to the passage, depression is not easily treated medically, and it's important to encourage patients to stick with treatment—even if they have started to feel better.43. I will tell him that I'm worried about his health due to his physical symptoms and suggest that he go for a medical check-up, rather than telling him flatly that he might be suffering from depression, as older adults tend to see depression as a sign of weakness.第二节（20分）One possible version:One possible version:Dear Chris,Sorry to hear that you want to take a part-time job during the winter vacation but your parents disagree. As a friend, I understand your situation and here are some suggestions.First, have a talk with your parents and explain to them why you want to work. Maybe you want to earn some money, or gain some work experience, or develop new skills. Whatever your reason, make sure you express it clearly to your parents.If your parents still disagree, offer to compromise. You could suggest working for a limited time, so that you can still spend some time with your family and do your homework.Besides, listen to your parents' concerns and try to address them. They might be worried about your safety, your studies, or your health. You can promise to take care of yourself, keep up with your studies, and follow their rules.I hope these suggestions are helpful. Good luck!Yours,Li Hua【注释】1.分数计算：本题总分20分，采用分项评分方式，其中内容8分，语言8分，结构4分。

He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U. S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his.,choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”4. Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2?A. Fall asleep.B. Lose heart.C. Turn a blind eye.D. Lend a hand.5. What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids?A. To recycle waste plastics.B. To make instructive videos.C. To spread marine knowledge.D. To appeal for ocean protection.6. Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels?A. Sympathetic and devoted.B. Initiative and talented.C. Ambitious and humorous.D. Determined and modest.7. What does Cash Daniels story imply?A. Passion fuels dreams.B. Great minds think alike.C. Helping others is of great fun.D. Actions speak louder than words.CTo reduce the carbon emissions from passenger jets and long-haul trucks, a vast volume of soy-based renewable fuel will be needed. To produce it, American farmers could ruin existing cornfields to clear space, plant millions of additional acres of soybeans and shut down all soybean exports. Researchers at startups and biotech giants alike have found ways to create a new kind of soybeans through genetic recombination that generates more oil.One of the startups, ZeaKal Inc., funded in part by seed giant Corteva Inc., plans to introduce its first batch of high-oil seeds for commercial planting in 2024. Scientists have tricked the plant into sustaining photosynthesis for longer with genetic recombination, ultimately producing more oil as well as more protein.Companies are racing to build more capacity to process soy, a critical component for expanding green fuelsupplies. Tax credits make companies in the transportation industry switch to fuel with lower carbon emission.S&P Global sees domestic demand for renewable biofuel reaching 4 billion gallons in 2030, up from around 2.7 billion this year. It projects that the use of sustainable aviation fuel will total 1.7 billion gallons annually by the end of the decade, compared with just 182 million gallons a year now.Despite the bullish predictions, the soy-based transportation fuel market is still a drop in the bucket for the fuel industry. And even if the new breed of high-oil seeds takes off, widespread adoption will take time. Farmers may be reluctant to become early adopters of a technology that hasn’t yet proven its benefits, especially if the oil content comes at the expense of existing genetic recombinations that improve disease or pest resistance.Chicken producer Perdue Farms Inc. has signed a deal with Zeakal, agreeing to pay farmers a higher price for harvested supplies of the new variety, which is good for chicken feed because of its higher protein levels. If large oil companies follow suit, the soybean market might never look the same. “We could have an opportunity for the oil component of soybeans to actually become more important in some markets than the protein aspect,” says Mike Dillon, vice president of ZeaKal, “That’s a very dramatic shift.”8. How did researchers plan to produce more oil?A. By planting more soybeans.B. By banning soybean exports.C. By fertilizing soybean fields.D. By engineering soybean genes.9. What does the author want to show by mentioning the figure in paragraph 3?A. The continuous use of the fuel.B. The growing demand for biofuel.C. The serious lack of green fuel supplies.D. The fierce competition between companies.10. Who can change the current biofuel market according to the last paragraph?A. Companies.B. Farmers.C. Scientists.D. Governments11. Which can be the best title of the text?A. Biofuel: A New Way to Cut Down Carbon EmissionsB. Oilier Soybeans: Possible Reliance of the Future FuelC. A Big Shift: From Conventional Soybeans to Altered OnesD. Genetic Modification: A Technology to Breed New SoybeansDWhenever I order food for delivery, I play a little game to guess how many sets of tableware(餐具)the restaurant will provide with my meal. Sometimes restaurants will throw in two, three or four sets for just one order. But I rarely need any tableware at all, and the waste goes into the trash or collects dust in a kitchen drawer.Researchers working with Chinese technology group Alibaba tried a simple approach to this problem. Instead of just wastefully doling out tableware, the company required food-delivery customers in some cities in China to pick how many sets of tableware they wanted to receive.The default (默认设置)was set at zero. The result, published today in the journal Science, was a 638% increase in the share of no-tableware orders. If applied across China, researchers found, the approach would save nearly 22 billion sets of plastic tableware. The study doesn’t cover carbon emissions, but it’s safe to say that the impact would be significant. It struck me as a useful reminder of the many low-hanging fruits across the economy that can cut waste, and emissions.Nudging its customers cost Alibaba nothing more than a few hours of software engineering time and the impact it brought was immense. The concept of nudging comes from the field of behavioral economics known as nudge theory. It suggests that a slight action can encourage good human behavior without the need for policies that limit choice or economic punishment that raises the cost of bad behavior. To nudge customers to eat better, for example, a restaurant might organize its menu by listing healthy options first and bury unhealthy ones at the bottom. More recently, some big companies like Google have also begun to use nudges to advance climate objectives.Behavioral economics broadly, and nudges more specifically, aren’t without controversy. Some might think it assigns consumers responsibility for addressing environmental challenges. But there is another way to look at it. In the absence of necessary policy—and policy is needed一companies can help encourage a widespread shift of consumer behavior.And all of that behavioral change can add up. The International Energy Agency found in 2021 that small behavioral changes in energy consumption such as walking instead of driving and adjusting the thermostat could in total shave off 4% of global emissions. The more that companies can do to facilitate such changes, the better.12. What did Alibaba do with tableware waste?A. It stopped restaurants from handing out tableware.B. It withdrew unused tableware from customers.C It updated the food -delivery device regularly..D. It allowed picking tableware at customers’ demand.13. What do the underlined words “low-hanging fruits” mean in paragraph 2?A. Easily accessible things.B. Fast increasing orders.C. Exceptionally tough choices.D. Widely accepted strategies.14. What can we learn about nudge theory from paragraph 3?A. It brings about economic loss.B. It results from consumption policies.C. It indicates small action changes behaviour.D. It implies bad behaviour impacts economy.15What is the main idea of the text?.A. Nudge theory affects behaviors.B. Good behaviors boost economy.C. Nudging helps build a greener world.D. Behavioral economics benefits customers.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。

William Gadoury has been crazy about the Mayans for most of his childhood, ever since his grandparents boughthim books about the civilization. What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond to stars in Mayan constellations(星座).Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto Google Earth images of the Yucatan Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best-preserved architecture from Mayan culture. He would track the constellations from Google Earth using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map. The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities.But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict: three stars, but only two ancient cities on Google Earth. The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico-Belize border. However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck.Luckily, he asked NASA for images from their RADARSAT-2 satellite. Indeed, there was a square, man-made-looking structure in the heavy forest. Gadoury then learned a fire had swept across the region, thinning out the grass cover. He found images from the agency, and eventually concluded that there was indeed a city there.Gadoury's findings eventually took him into the jungle in 2022 to search on foot, along with scientist Francisco Bell. The team discovered a farming village deep in the Mexican jungle, w hich showed the “backbone” of the Maya's long-term success, which was down to their ability to work the land and support large cities.4. What is Gadoury's finding mainly about?A. The villages in the Mexican jungle.B. The images from NASA satellites.C. The origins of Mayan culture.D. The locations of Mayan cities.5. How did Gadoury carry out his research according to Paragraph 2?A. By tracking the best-preserved building on maps.B. By analyzing 117 Mayan cities in ancient books.C. By checking star maps against satellite images.D. By updating the Google Earth on the Internet.6. What made it difficult for Gadoury to find the third city of the 23rd Mayan stars?A. A thick forest.B. A forest fire.C. Fund shortage.D. Bad weather.7. Which of the following best describes Gadoury?A. Cheerful.B. Intelligent.C. Ambitious.D. Sympathetic.CImagine a new smartphone product. It works the same as any other smartphone, but when dropped, those cracks that appear after an annoying fall slowly begin to fade away, and the phone magically repairs itself、A team of researchers led by chemistry professor Takuzo Aida have found a way to create self-repairing plastics that can be used in smartphones, cars and other products. But their new plastics won't only be used to create unbreakable products, but also help the fight against growing wastes harming the planet.91% of plastic is non-recyclable and filling Earth with waste. The increasing plastic in landfills is a growing concern due to its negative environmental impact. In 2019 about only9% of plastics were recycled globally, leading Japanese scientists to seek to find plastic that can start its own formation or self-repair.The self-repairing plastics are made by adding a tiny amount of a specialized substance into ordinary plastic to hold the monomers(单体) together by hydrogen bonds(氢键). When the new plastic is broken down by heat, instead ofburning to waste, the hydrogen bonds mix and allow for the formation of special shaped monomers to create a foundation for more monomers to layer on and rebuild itself. The team found that their self-healing plastic was able to automatically repair at room temperature over an hour to regain its durability. The team's work suggests great prospects for the future of plastic. “The technique could lead to the development of a made-to-last plastic that does not need to be recycled,” lead professor Aida said at the conference, “and can one day be in products from smartphones to cars and even buildings.”8. What is the special feature of the new plastics?A. Hard to break.B. Cheap to produce.C. Good to health.D. Easy to recycle.9. What drove scientists to search for the new plastics?A. Global warming.B. Industrial needs.C. Economic crisis.D. Green awareness.10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the new plastic?A. Its social effect.B. Its main function.C. Its working principle.D. Its economic value.11. What is Aida's attitude towards the new plastic?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Disapproving.D. Unconcerned.DRadiocarbon dating has revealed two fake(伪造的) paintings in France—probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from around the early twentieth century. But a team led by scientist Lucile Beck at the University of Paris-Saclay dated them to sometime within the past 70 years.The use of radiocarbon dating is gaining popularity, thanks to advances that require smaller samples than ever before. Removing tinier samples from artwork is becoming more palatable to museums and owners of paintings. Ifthere is a chance that a painting is genuine—and therefore valuable—they don't want the collection of larger samples to damage it.All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what's left to estimate the time that's passed, says Mariaelena Fedi, a physicist at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Florence, Italy. Atomic-bomb(原子弹) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere.Carbon-l4 peaked around 1964and went down after a partial ban on nuclear tests. Researchers can easily identify materials containing modern bomb-produced radiocarbon because their carbon-14 concentrations are higher than pre-1950s levels. Beck's team tested its samples to see whether they bore the feature of that bomb-produced radioactive carbon-14.The canvas fiber from the paintings clearly contained carbon from either the mid-1950sor after the year 2000, the researchers reported. Beck acknowledged that, ideally, the team would do further chemical analysis to support its findings, but the researchers were limited by the tight time.12. What does the underlined word “palatable” in P aragraph 2 probably mean?A. Impressive.B. Acceptable.C. Expensive.D. Difficult.13. How does radiocarbon dating work?A. By analyzing samples from artwork.B. By removing the smaller samples.C. By measuring the carbon-14 left.D. By testing the carbon in the sample.14. What can we learn about atomic-bomb testing in Paragraph 4?A. It produces more carbon-14.B. It helps identify fake paintings.C. it reduces carbon concentration.D. It has been stopped completely.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Paintings waiting to be identifiedB. Two fake paintings found in FranceC. New technology in painting becomes a hitD. Radiocarbon dating proves an anti-fake helper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。

AThere are four youngest athletes who won the gold medal in the Olympics. Their achievements are recorded in the history of professional sports.Marjorie GestringMarjorie Gestring was only 13 years and 268 days old when she won a gold medal for her county. After 1936, the Olympies were sopped for the Second World War. Following the conclusion of the war, she could not qualify for the 1948 London Olympics. Marjorie Gestring would have won more gold medals considering her talent if not for the World War II.Klaus ZertaKlaus Zerta was only 13 years and 283 days old when he won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy. He cooperated with his teammates Bernhard Knubel and Heinz Renneberg to win the gold medal. Klaus was from West Germany but represented the unified team of Germany at the Olympics. Moreover, he is the youngest confirmed male athlete to win the gold medal in the history of the Summer Olympics,Fu MingxiaChinese female diver Fu Mingxia is popular for being one of the youngest Olympic diving champions. She won a gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona when she was just 13 years and 345 days old. Her last Olympic gold medal came during the 2000 Sydney Olympics, which emphasized the environmental protection and the reduction in waste. With the fourth gold medal, she joined Americans Pat McCormick and Greg Louganis as the world's only quadruple (四次的) Olympic diving champions.Nadia ComaneciNadia Comaneci is a five time Olympic gold medalist. She is a retired gymnast and one of the youngest athletes to win the gold medal. In 1976, she became the first gymnast to receive a perfect score of 10. She was merely 14 years old when she secured the gold medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Interestingly, back then, a gymnast had to be 14 to participate but later the age limit went up to16.1.

Marjorie Gestring didn’t participate in the Olympics because of the war in 1948.D. It is impossible to break Nadia Comaneci's record as the youngest gymnast gold medalist.BLately, I’ve been traveling around the world. No longer am I waking up far away from my home, tired from a late night of writing down the stories I collected the day before. Things are different now, and each day my travels begin like this: 1 sit down at my dining table, usually early in the morning or late at night when nobody else is awake, and I listen to the radio.The radio station is always from somewhere that isn't here in New York, and most often it comes from a free-to-use website called Radio Garden. Move your mouse and maybe you will land in Bujumbura, Burundi; in Dibrugarh, India; or on the edge of the South Pacific. Seemingly no matter how large or small the broadcaster is, if it sends out a signal online, it can appear on the site and you can listen to it.During the pandemic, Radio Garden, which is now available as an app, at times attracted as many as 15 million monthly listeners. “We received many heartwarming emails from people stuck at home expressing their gratitude for the service,” said Jonathan Puckey, the site’s founder.Radio Garden began as a project of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, where designers and computer programmers overlaid (覆盖) station streams with their geographical locations on a 3-D map of the world. As a result, there is more than one way to transmit. Visiting a country like Colombia brought back memories of past trips - - romantic accordion music reminding me of bus rides on the rural roads.Where will you visit first on the Radio Garden globe? For me, thrilling as it is to drop in on Ouagadougou or Ulaanbaatar or the Azores, it’s all about personal history: I was born and raised in New York, but my family is from everywhere—Latin America, the Middle East, and places in between. My ancestors were merchants who traded in goods and cultures. Now, because of their wanderings, pieces of six languages still fly across our dinner tables. Thanks to Radio Garden, my family can cross planes of space and time without worry!4. What does the first paragraph focus on?A. The joys of radio travel.B. A scene of traveling by radio.C. A popular way of traveling.D. The difference in this travel.5. What do we know about Radio Garden?A. It is affordable.B. It is widely accepted.C. It is easy to maintain.D. It is based in New York.6. What does the author think is the greatest advantage of Radio Garden?A. Simplifying travel schedules.B. Making tourism popular again.C. Improving the traveling experience.D. Promoting the virtual reality travel.7. What does the last paragraph imply?A. Radio Garden is expanding quickly.B. Radio Garden increases global connections.C. Radio Garden benefits from global awareness.D. Radio Garden facilitates the development of tourism.CPeople do physical exercise as part of their healthy lifestyle to get stronger and healthier.There are three basic modes of physical exercise: flexibility exercise helps the human body in general or its part in particular to be able to reach farther and bend better; aerobic exercise helps the body work hard for a long time; anaerobic exercise makes the arms and legs stronger.It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body, but also for your mind. According to researchers, gymnasts are more likely to be emotionally stable, football players the most outgoing and swimmers the happiest.The psychological study, which was carried out by experts, also revealed that sports can also offer clues to a person’s attitude to charity, reading habits and even their voting intentions. Boxers, for example, are most likely to focus on material possessions in life. Meanwhile, runners tend to be outgoing people who love being the centre of attention. Walkers, a group that includes those who enjoy wandering and cross-country races, are least concerned about other people and like doing things by themselves without interruption from others. Those who play chess are confident when they face challenges and trouble. Those who swim tend to be tidy and charitable. However, according to Mind Lab, 61 percent of adults are fond of helping others regardless of their choice of sports.The results. from this study also show that no matter what kind of person you are, there is the right kind of exercise for you,8. Which of the following sports belongs to flexibility exercise?A. Running.B. Swimming.C. Football.D. Gymnastics.9. What can we learn from the text?A. Walkers enjoy loneliness in their lives.B. Boxers tend to ignore wealth in life.C. Runners have great power of concentration.D. Chess players like challenging other people.10. Why does the author mention Mind Lab in Paragraph 4?A. To make a contrast.B. To draw a comparison.C. To place an emphasis.D. To give an example.11. What is the best title for the text?A. How can you choose suitable sports?B. What kind of sports can benefit you most?C. How can sports keep you mentally healthy?D. What does your choice of sports tell about you?DConsumers in the U.S. spend billions of dollars a year on gifts wrapping. Two colleagues and I wondered whether all that time and effort is actually worth it. So we conducted three experiments to explore the impact of gift wrapping.In the first experiment, we involved 180 students, who were given a gift—a coffee cup with the logo of one of two NBA basketball teams, the local Miami Heat or rival (竞争对手) Orlando Magic. Every participant was a fan of the Heat and they obviously didn't support the Magic. We gave half of the students a desirable gift, while the others received something they disliked. Finally, half of the gifts were wrapped neatly, while the rest looked sloppy (凌乱的).We found that those who received a sloppily wrapped gift liked their present significantly more than those who received a neatly wrapped gift—regardless of which cup they got.To understand why, we asked another set of students to report their expectations about either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. Results showed that expectations were significantly higher for the neatly wrapped gifts. However, receivers of the neatly wrapped gift reported that it failed to live up to their expectations, while those who got the sloppily wrapped gift said it surpassed (超过) their expectations.In our final experiment, we surveyed 261 adults and asked them to imagine receiving either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. This time we instructed half of them to imagine the gift was from a close friend, while the other half believed it came from an acquaintance (熟人). Then we revealed the gift and asked them to rate it.When it came from a close friend, receivers ended up liking the sloppily wrapped gift more. However, for the gift from an acquaintance, receivers preferred it when it was neatly wrapped. This occurs because these participants used the wrapping as a cue for how much the gift-giver values their relationship.So if you’re stressed over gift wrapping this holiday season, consider saving yourself effort and money by wrapping your friends’ gifts haphazardly (随意地). But for someone you don’t know quite as well, it’s probably worth it to show that you put in some effort to make it look good with all of the beautiful bows.12. What did the researchers find in the first experiment?A. A desirable gift is expected to be wrapped sloppily.B. Participants were more interested in neatly wrapped gifts.C. A soppily wrapped gift can make the receiver much happier.D. Participants responded the same to gifts with different wrappings.13. Why did the researchers carry out the second experiment?A. To further explain the result of the first experiment.B. To compare receivers’ expectations for the same gifs.C. To know why receivers have different expectations for gifs.D. To find out the impact of wrapping on receives’ expectations.14. What do neatly wrapped gifts show according to the third experiment?A. The gift giver is very skilled at wrapping gifts,B. The gift giver has a close relationship with the receiver.C. The gift giver attaches great importance to the relationship.D. The gift giver wants to become a close friend of the receiver.15. What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?A. To give examples.B. To make suggestions.C. To make comparisons.D. To present an argument.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。
