Tom was pleased to get a role in the school play. It wasn’t a major role and he had only four or five lines. However, he worked hard at perfecting the lines, repeating them in front of a mirror over and over again, as his drama teacher had suggested. He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally the big night came.
Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of audience. He looked around at those experienced actors and saw the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared. Everyone was on edge. When Tom got on stage, he couldn’t help hurrying into the words he had repeated so many times before. He tried to slow down but, thinking about doing that, he suddenly realized he had missed a sentence. With no time to think it over, he carried on. When he stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the mistake that he had made.
The audience, of course, didn’t know he had missed a sentence. In fact, no one noticed it except his drama teacher. “Well done, ” she said. “Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great. ”
The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease. He caught the look of his face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指)up.
4. What do we know about Tom before the big night
A. He was sad about his limited lines. B. He expected a major role in the play.
C. He worked hard to prepare for the play. D. He was confident of the play’s success.
5. How did Tom feel when he finished the performance
A. Regretful. B. Relieved. C. Hopeful. D. Confused.
6. Why did Tom raise his hands with thumbs up in the end
A. He got his teacher’s forgiveness. B. He made peace with his imperfection.
C. He decided to correct his mistakes. D. He admired his own face in the mirror.
7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. Well begun, half done. B. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Let your fault make you better, not bitter.

Back in January, my partner and I resolved to take exercise seriously. This would mean spending hours every week working out, stretching and sweating our way to better health, which is something that is particularly difficult when you glance at the weather outside and see dark clouds on the horizon. “Looks like it is about to rain, I guess I’ll go for a run tomorrow instead.” But then just as we were on the edge of giving up again, we discovered a brilliant new way to make exercise better: by turning it into a video game.
SWIFT is a cycling game that you control by pedaling your real bike, which is fixed onto a device called a turbo-trainer. As you pedal, the trainer sends signals back to your computer to control the character on screen. And smartly, the game sends back instructions to the trainer to apply different levels of resistance, so that as you’re cycling up a hill in the game, you can actually feel it on the bike.
So, after restoring our small garage and signing up for a $12 per month subscription, we had our TV, bike and all-important cooling fan ready to go.
Once you’re set up, you can participate in virtual cycle rides in 3D-recreations of real places, like London and New York, or fictional locations. And importantly, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing your journey.
The genius of the design is that it has used lots of the tricks of traditional video games to keep pushing you a little bit further and harder: go a little faster, and you’ll be rewarded with a little achievement marker, and if you pedal harder, you might win a race against another real player. It’s essentially generating for some sort of dopamine(多巴胺) hits that riding along on a traditional exercise bike simply can’t match.
I’m not the only person who has noticed this. Today many other companies in the tech industry are chasing the same users, and they all offer their own unique versions.
8. Why does the author mention the weather in Paragraph 1
A. To give a warning of the coming storm.
B. To complain about the changeable weather.
C. To reveal the limitation of traditional exercise.
D. To persuade readers to mind the weather while exercising.
9. Which is NOT a must for SWIFT users
A. A real bike. B. Monthly payment.
C. A turbo-trainer. D. 3D glasses.
10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. How SWIFT motivates its users.
B. Who are the target users of SWIFT.
C What physical benefits SWIFT users get.
D. Why traditional bikes are replaced by SWIFT.
11. What is the attitude of the tech industry towards the idea of SWIFT
A. Unclear. B. Critical.
C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
D
With the F1FA 2022 World Cup kicking off in Qatar next month, manufacturers of the tournament’s official product in Yiwu, Zhejiang province, say business has been prosperous despite the challenging global business environment.
“We are near the end of the sales related to the World Cup. We will probably deliver all goods out by the end of the month,” said Wu Xiaoming, a sporting equipment seller at Yiwu International Trade Market. Wu’s company has official authorization to produce goods for the 2022 World Cup. “The third quarter is often the slack season for small goods exports, but due to World Cup-related products, it has turned into boom season instead,” said Wu. “As a result, our orders increased by 70 percent compared to the same period last year.”
In the past two years, because of COVID-19, there have been fewer overseas traders who are able to come to Yiwu for business, yet overseas demand has remained strong. The epidemic in Yiwu in early August led to a slowdown in exports, prompting businesses to increase the share of their online sales. “Most customers chose to communicate with us online. We can display the materials and styles of the products to customers through live streaming,” explained Wu. “Although our workload increased, our customer experience has improved. All the World Cup orders have been sent out.”
According to Yiwu Customs, in the first eight months of this year, Yiwu exported 3.82 billion yuan ($536.8 million) of sporting goods and 9.66 billion yuan of toys. By region, exports to Brazil were 7.58 billion yuan, up 56.7 percent compared to the same period last year, while exports to Argentina and Spain reached 1.39 billion yuan (up 67.2 percent) and 4.29 billion yuan (up 95.8 percent) respectively.
Although the number of orders increased, profits were not as high as expected due to the high cost of raw materials and other factors. Wu said the price of raw materials rose by 15 percent, and fixed costs such as labor also rose this year. In addition, they had to pay a large amount for shipment.
“Our current priority is not profit but to attract customers and enable the business to operate normally,” said Wu. “The external influence is temporary, and we are full of confidence for the future.”
12. What does the underlined word “prosperous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Thriving. B. Depressing. C. Unstable. D. Average.
13. What can we learn from Wu’s words in Paragraph 2
A. Wu is very confident about the future of the industry.
B. Shipment of World Cup-related product is undergoing.
C. Sales related to the World Cup will begin soon this month.
D. This third quarter remains a slack season like previous years.
14. Which is NOT a reason for the decrease of profit mentioned in the text
A. Rise of labor cost. B. Increased shipping fee.
C. High cost of raw materials. D. Increased workload of live streaming.
15. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Yiwu traders worrying about the World Cup B. Exciting report on export from Yiwu Customs
C. “Made in Yiwu” keeping popular at Qatar 2022 D. Small commodity firms facing challenges in pandemic

Back in January, my partner and I resolved to take exercise seriously. This would mean spending hours every week working out, stretching and sweating our way to better health, which is something that is particularly difficult when you glance at the weather outside and see dark clouds on the horizon. “Looks like it is about to rain, I guess I’ll go for a run tomorrow instead.” But then just as we were on the edge of giving up again, we discovered a brilliant new way to make exercise better: by turning it into a video game.
SWIFT is a cycling game that you control by pedaling your real bike, which is fixed onto a device called a turbo-trainer. As you pedal, the trainer sends signals back to your computer to control the character on screen. And smartly, the game sends back instructions to the trainer to apply different levels of resistance, so that as you’re cycling up a hill in the game, you can actually feel it on the bike.
So, after restoring our small garage and signing up for a $12 per month subscription, we had our TV, bike and all-important cooling fan ready to go.
Once you’re set up, you can participate in virtual cycle rides in 3D-recreations of real places, like London and New York, or fictional locations. And importantly, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing your journey.
The genius of the design is that it has used lots of the tricks of traditional video games to keep pushing you a little bit further and harder: go a little faster, and you’ll be rewarded with a little achievement marker, and if you pedal harder, you might win a race against another real player. It’s essentially generating for some sort of dopamine(多巴胺) hits that riding along on a traditional exercise bike simply can’t match.
I’m not the only person who has noticed this. Today many other companies in the tech industry are chasing the same users, and they all offer their own unique versions.
8. Why does the author mention the weather in Paragraph 1
A. To give a warning of the coming storm.
B. To complain about the changeable weather.
C. To reveal the limitation of traditional exercise.
D. To persuade readers to mind the weather while exercising.
9. Which is NOT a must for SWIFT users
A. A real bike. B. Monthly payment.
C. A turbo-trainer. D. 3D glasses.
10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. How SWIFT motivates its users.
B. Who are the target users of SWIFT.
C. What physical benefits SWIFT users get.
D. Why traditional bikes are replaced by SWIFT.
11. What is the attitude of the tech industry towards the idea of SWIFT
A. Unclear. B. Critical.
C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，作者结合自己下雨天差点放弃锻炼的经历介绍了一款可以让人随时随地在家坚持锻炼的电子游戏——SWIFT。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“This would mean spending hours every week working out, stretching and sweating our way to better health, which is something that is particularly difficult when you glance at the weather outside and see dark clouds on the horizon.(这将意味着每周花几个小时锻炼、伸展身体、流汗来达到更好的健康状态，而当你瞥一眼外面的天气，看到地平线上乌云密布时，这是一件特别困难的事情。)”可知，天气状况可能会限制一些运动项目，再结合本段中的“But then just as we were on the edge of giving up again, we discovered a brilliant new way to make exercise better: by turning it into a video game.(但就在我们再次濒临放弃时，我们发现了一种让锻炼变得更好的绝妙新方法：把它变成电子游戏。)”可知，作者他们后来发现了一种把运动变成电子游戏的新方法，这种运动方法让他们不会轻易放弃锻炼，由此可推测出，作者在第一段提到天气是为了揭示传统锻炼的限制性。故选C项。

【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“The genius of the design is that it has used lots of the tricks of traditional video games to keep pushing you a little bit further and harder(这种设计的天才之处在于，它使用了许多传统电子游戏的技巧，不断推动你走得更远、更努力)”并结合下文内容可知，本段介绍了这款电子游戏如何能够激励用户更加努力骑车锻炼。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Today many other companies in the tech industry are chasing the same users, and they all offer their own unique versions.(如今，科技行业的许多其他公司都在追逐同样的受众，他们都提供自己独特的版本。)”可知，科技行业的许多公司都在效仿SWIFT的模式，由此可推测出，他们对SWIFT持支持态度。故选D项。

With the F1FA 2022 World Cup kicking off in Qatar next month, manufacturers of the tournament’s official product in Yiwu, Zhejiang province, say business has been prosperous despite the challenging global business environment.
“We are near the end of the sales related to the World Cup. We will probably deliver all goods out by the end of the month,” said Wu Xiaoming, a sporting equipment seller at Yiwu International Trade Market. Wu’s company has official authorization to produce goods for the 2022 World Cup. “The third quarter is often the slack season for small goods exports, but due to World Cup-related products, it has turned into boom season instead,” said Wu. “As a result, our orders increased by 70 percent compared to the same period last year.”
In the past two years, because of COVID-19, there have been fewer overseas traders who are able to come to Yiwu for business, yet overseas demand has remained strong. The epidemic in Yiwu in early August led to a slowdown in exports, prompting businesses to increase the share of their online sales. “Most customers chose to communicate with us online. We can display the materials and styles of the products to customers through live streaming,” explained Wu. “Although our workload increased, our customer experience has improved. All the World Cup orders have been sent out.”
According to Yiwu Customs, in the first eight months of this year, Yiwu exported 3.82 billion yuan ($536.8 million) of sporting goods and 9.66 billion yuan of toys. By region, exports to Brazil were 7.58 billion yuan, up 56.7 percent compared to the same period last year, while exports to Argentina and Spain reached 1.39 billion yuan (up 67.2 percent) and 4.29 billion yuan (up 95.8 percent) respectively.
Although the number of orders increased, profits were not as high as expected due to the high cost of raw materials and other factors. Wu said the price of raw materials rose by 15 percent, and fixed costs such as labor also rose this year. In addition, they had to pay a large amount for shipment.
“Our current priority is not profit but to attract customers and enable the business to operate normally,” said Wu. “The external influence is temporary, and we are full of confidence for the future.”
12. What does the underlined word “prosperous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Thriving. B. Depressing. C. Unstable. D. Average.
13. What can we learn from Wu’s words in Paragraph 2
A. Wu is very confident about the future of the industry.
B. Shipment of World Cup-related product is undergoing.
C. Sales related to the World Cup will begin soon this month.
D. This third quarter remains a slack season like previous years.
14. Which is NOT a reason for the decrease of profit mentioned in the text
A. Rise of labor cost. B. Increased shipping fee.
C. High cost of raw materials. D. Increased workload of live streaming.
15. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Yiwu traders worrying about the World Cup B. Exciting report on export from Yiwu Customs
C. “Made in Yiwu” keeping popular at Qatar 2022 D. Small commodity firms facing challenges in pandemic
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了2022年世界杯足球锦标赛下个月在卡塔尔拉开帷幕，尽管全球商业环境充满挑战，但是义乌商品在卡塔尔世界杯的业务仍然和活跃。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“despite the challenging global business environment(尽管全球商业环境充满挑战)”可知，划线词汇“prosperous”和“challenging(挑战)”之间存在转折关系，从而推知“With the F1FA 2022 World Cup kicking off in Qatar next month, manufacturers of the tournament’s official product in Yiwu, Zhejiang province, say business has been prosperous despite the challenging global business environment. (随着2022年F1FA世界杯下个月在卡塔尔拉开帷幕，浙江省义乌市的官方产品制造商表示，尽管全球商业环境充满挑战，但业务一直很prosperous)”其中划线词汇意为“成功，活跃，兴旺”。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“We are near the end of the sales related to the World Cup. We will probably deliver all goods out by the end of the month. (我们已经接近世界杯相关销售的尾声。我们可能会在月底前把所有货物都送出去)”可推知，世界杯相关产品的出货正在进行中。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Although the number of orders increased, profits were not as high as expected due to the high cost of raw materials and other factors. Wu said the price of raw materials rose by 15 percent, and fixed costs such as labor also rose this year. In addition, they had to pay a large amount for shipment.(虽然订单数量有所增加，但由于原材料成本高等因素，利润并没有预期的那么高。吴说，今年原材料价格上涨了15%，劳动力等固定成本也上涨了。此外，他们还得付一大笔运费)”并结合选项可知，直播工作量增加不是文中提到的利润减少的原因。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“With the F1FA 2022 World Cup kicking off in Qatar next month, manufacturers of the tournament’s official product in Yiwu, Zhejiang province, say business has been prosperous despite the challenging global business environment.(随着2022年F1FA世界杯下个月在卡塔尔拉开帷幕，浙江省义乌市的官方产品制造商表示，尽管全球商业环境充满挑战，但业务一直很繁荣)”可知，本文讲述了尽管全球商业环境充满挑战，但是义乌商品在卡塔尔世界杯的业务仍然和活跃。由此可知，“Made in Yiwu” keeping popular at Qatar 2022(2022年“义乌制造”在卡塔尔继续流行)适合作本文最佳标题。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国传统插花艺术以及艺术家张燕对于这门艺术的推广。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：插花是一些元素的组合，以产生视觉上令人愉悦的新鲜花朵、丝花或干花展示。根据空前的the以及后面的of可知，这里填一个名词combination，作表语，the combination of表示“……的结合”，故填combination。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：一般的设计原则包括不平衡和和谐，这会经常涉及到光线、空间和点缀的使用。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词General design principles，指物，从句中缺少主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国传统插花艺术，最初是作为寺庙的供品和宫殿的装饰，已经流传了几个世纪。根据句子结构可知，句子的主语是The art of Chinese traditional flower arrangement，谓语动词是has survived，所以这里应用非谓语动词。动词serve与其逻辑主语The art of Chinese traditional flower arrangement之间是主动关系，故用现在分词形式，作后置定语。故填serving。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在3000多年的历史中，插花的形象有时仍然是花店里有限的几束花。根据句意，发音以辅音音素的可数名词history表示“历史”，泛指，用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：因此，近年来，张一直致力于推广传统插花，希望人们将会熟悉这门艺术，为其悠久的历史感到自豪，并拥有一种欣赏生活美的能力。结合前后文语境可知为因果关系，且有逗号应用therefore。首字母大写。故填Therefore。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：因此，近年来，张一直致力于推广传统插花，希望人们将会熟悉这门艺术，为其悠久的历史感到自豪，并拥有一种欣赏生活美的能力。be familiar with是固定短语，意为“对……熟悉”。故填with。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，近年来，张一直致力于推广传统插花，希望人们将会熟悉这门艺术，为其悠久的历史感到自豪，并拥有一种欣赏生活美的能力。此处的ability后跟不定式作后置定语，the ability to do...意为“……的能力”。故填to appreciate。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：在张看来，中国传统插花不仅仅是一种装饰，还是一种对现代忙碌工作者的一种真正有效的心理治疗方式。这里应用副词truly(真正)修饰形容词effective。故填truly。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：这一艺术强调简单，插花者必须决定什么是他或她的工作和生活中真正必要的。根据句子成分分析，介词on后面是一个宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，应用连接代词what引导该宾语从句，表示“（真正必要的）事情”。故填what。
【46题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：当插花者完全理解了他们真正想要的东西，艺术的治愈效果就会实现。分析句子可知，realize是主句的谓语动词，与主语The healing effect之间是被动关系，且时间状语从句中使用一般现在时，根据“主将从现”原则，主句用一般将来时，所以这里应用一般将来时的被动语态。故填will be realized。
