I don’t remember when my love of the protected Great Bear Rainforest began — it’s

something that’s always been there, even though: I haven’t spent longer than a month there in one

go. I grew up in a small village by the sea and planned to study marine biology and live out on the

water. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, my lack of scientific talent quickly put paid to that

idea, but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor(锚) in my life and in my writing.

The Great Bear Rainforest is vast, splendid and wild but also friendly, fun and diverse. I

travelled there by myself at the age of 20, planning to spend my 21st birthday camping, and hiking

in the forests.

I woke up on my birthday in a tent on the edge of the water. Behind me, the trees of this

largely untouched wilderness emerged. Endless carpets of pointed trees reached right down to a

thin rocky shore. It seemed there was no way in. This wilderness held its secrets close. Stepping

from the beach into the forest, I immediately sensed the history of the area—it felt ancient, and it

was impossible not to be humbled.

With a guide for safety, I hiked a few miles through the wilderness. The sounds of the forest

were everywhere. Birds sang. Insects buzzed. Something bigger moved through the undergrowth

and my guide stopped dead. Listened. My heart was in my mouth. Then, after some invisible

signal, my guide relaxed, and we went on.

We continued the hike and emerged onto a cliff with the most breath-taking view I’ve ever

seen. From terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps. It was that sense of unsettled ground—of

shifting emotion, secrets and awe, beauty and fear—that’s fed my writing across four books, none

more so than Children of the Sun, and implanted in me a lifelong love of the wild.

24. What does the underlined phrase “put paid to” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. Stimulated. B. Ended. C. Supported. D. Proved.

25. What does “it was impossible not to be humbled” convey in paragraph 3?

A. I was awed by the powerful nature. B. I became modest after my 21st birthday.

C. I was attracted by the history of the area. D. I got curious about the secrets of the forest.

26. Which word can best describe the guide?

A. Conservative. B. Considerate. C. Practiced. D. Indecisive.

27. What is the text mainly about?

A. The passion for nature. B. The feature of 4 books.

C. An unforgettable travel experience. D. A vivid description of mixed emotions.

C

If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do—at least in theory.

According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond

everyday experiences.” However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23

percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.

The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day

responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music

while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a

live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play.

Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The

arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we

ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing

art—the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments—I assure you

that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of

music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness as you emerged from a narrow side street in an

unfamiliar city and found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably

stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing

in smoggy air.

If you are among the people who feel that art is pure pleasure to experience and participate in,

you might see it as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat art less like a distracting

pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art

exposure journey, and gradually weave art into your everyday life.

28. What prevents people from enjoying the arts?

A. Shortage of time. B. Avoidance of duty.

C. Lack of interest. D. Art space inaccessibility.

29. What can we learn about the role of art according to the passage?

A. It explores mysteries of life. B. It sparks emotional responses.

C. It enhances physical well-being. D. It offers a getaway from daily life.

30. What will be talked about next in the passage?

A. Ways to integrate art into routine. B. Barriers to combine art and life.

C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Benefits of engaging with art.

31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A. Art Journey: Refreshing Soul

B. Art Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full

C. Embracing Art: From Luxury to Necessity

D. Connecting with Art: From Reality to Fantasys

D

Biodegradable(可降解的) food packaging is designed to detect to what degree the food has

gone bad by changing its color. Best-before labels are often poor predictors of when food becomes

dangerous to eat, which can lead to waste and food poisoning, says Benedetto Marelli at the

Massachusetts Institute of Technology. So he and his colleagues tried to create the package that

can react to changes in food.

They made four films(膜) similar to plastic package, each consisting of two layers. One layer

was made from a protein extracted from silkworm silk, while the other was made of one of four

so-called covalent organic frameworks (COFs). These materials contain carbon and hydrogen, as

well as atoms like oxygen or nitrogen, all arranged in a network that allows air and water to go

through easily.

After checking the films were non-toxic and strong, the researchers tried to compost(堆肥处

理) them. For the best performing film, 50 percent of it degraded after being placed in soil for 30

days, which is comparable to existing biodegradable plastics.

The material also changed colour when immersed in water with different pH values, due to

the COF layer’s interaction with the liquid. Because the pH of food increases as it spoils, the

researchers tried to use a piece of the film as a colour-changing label attached to a packet of raw

chicken. The label started off orange but turned yellow and got 17 percent lighter after 20 hours at

30, indicating that the meat had begun to spoil. The researchers also loaded the COF layer with

a chemical. After 15 days, soybeans packaged in the film and left in high heat and humidity went

bad, but only a third as much as beans wrapped in traditional plastic.

“For a successful market entry, the material will need to be affordable and easy to produce.

The standard for competing with plastic production is very high.” says Marelli.

32. Why did Marelli decide to create the package?

A. To improve the biodegradability of food.

B. To compete with plastic for market share.

C. To make a breakthrough in biotechnology.

D. To tackle food waste and enhance food safety.

33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A. The functions of films. B. The categories of films.

C. The application of films. D. The composition of films.

34. What is the feature of the film?

A. It prevents food from spoiling. B. It shows sensitivity to chemicals.

C. It has incomparable biodegradability. D. It is unaffected by unfavorable conditions.

35. What is Marelli’s attitude towards the prospect of the film?

A. Realistic. B. Hopeless. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.

The Science of Risk-Seeking

Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the

risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 36 Some of us enjoy activities that would

surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.

The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.

Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of risk-taking was

passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a

tolerance for risk.

So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much

risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave

types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe

you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 38

No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to

take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your brain increases

your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain

raises your tolerance for risk as well.

40 For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for

the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.

As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains,

the waves or the shallow end of the pool.

A. It all depends on your character.

B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.

C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.

D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.

E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.

F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.

G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

The first time I entered the busy Chinese hotpot restaurant, I was immediately impressed by

the delicious smells and lively chatter. The waiter handed me a menu, but it was mostly written in

Chinese, 56 characters were completely beyond my comprehension. With some hesitation, I

decided to take 57 leap of faith and pointed at a few items on the menu that looked 58

(invite).

As the bubbling pot was set 59 (boil), I watched with fascination as the waiter poured a

fragrant broth(肉汤 ) into it. 60 (mix) with chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and other

mysterious spices, the pot released a mouthwatering aroma into the air.

The moment of truth came 61 I tried to dip my chopsticks into the broth and added a

slice of thinly sliced beef and a handful of vegetables. The first bite was an 62 (explode) of

flavors. The numbing sensation from the Sichuan peppercorns danced on my tongue, and I

understood the reason for the restaurant’s name, “Spicy Heaven.”

I continued to experiment, trying various ingredients and 63 (surprise) at not only the

food, but also the adventure, the 64 (delight) feeling of a world of flavors in a single

bubbling pot. 65 my limited knowledge of the Chinese language, I laughed with my

newfound friends and shared stories.

An unforgettable Tech Exploration Tour

第二节 写作(满分 25 分)

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。

What my father wore embarrassed me! I wanted him to dress like a doctor or lawyer, but he

always dressed like my father, getting up before dawn every day to make breakfast for my mother

and me.

We lived in South Texas, where my father worked as a repairman. He often wore a pair of

jeans and a shirt, keeping his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket. His boots

were those with steel toes that made them difficult to pull off his feet, which I sometimes helped

him with when he returned from repairing cars — his job that also shamed me.

I blamed the way he dressed. I felt that my classmates laughed at me because they’d seen him

mowing lawns (修剪草坪) in cut-off jeans and black boots. My classmates’ families paid men to

beautify their lawns, while their fathers travelled in the bay wearing lemon-yellow sweaters and

expensive shoes.

He preferred clothes that allowed him the freedom to move under cars. So even when taking

part in a school trip with me, he was dressed in his repairman’s suit. On the school bus to the

campsite, all students on the bus happily chatted with their parents except me, who lowered the

head, avoiding spotting my classmates’ mocking glance ( 讥 笑 的 眼 光 ) or hearing their jokes,

which I thought was about nothing else but what my father wore.

I regretted telling my parents the school trip, and I was very angry why my mother had no

spare time while my father happened to have a vacation. But my father failed to read my mind. He

was very happy, whistling a tune along the way.

Though my father didn’t sense my bad mood, the school bus seemed as sad as I was. It drove

more and more slowly and finally it stopped on the roadside. The driver got out to check the bus

but found nothing wrong. Students and parents on the bus began to whisper about what was

happening, worried that the delay might spoil the journey.

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。

When others were complaining, my father stood up.

The school bus restarted and everyone cheered.
