W: Hi, everyone. (18)This is the monthly meeting of our club. We’ve been fortunate to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body. Today, we’ll hear something different. We’re honored to have Emma Wilson here. Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the University of British Columbia. Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, (19)then for a very successful rugby team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver. (20)Emma says it’s challenging to be a health expert, because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support. Also, people aren’t willing to change their views about food and nutrition as there is so much confusing information online. It’s really important to hear what experts say and that’s why we’ve invited Emma here. She isn’t going to tell us about everything we should eat, but she will teach us to make better choices. Let’s welcome Emma Wilson.

(2022·新高考Ⅱ卷)
We journalists live in a new age of storytelling,with many new multimedia tools.Many young people don’t even realize it’s new.For them,it’s just normal.
This hit__home__for__me as I was sitting with my 2yearold grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.I had brought a children’s book to read.It had simple words and colorful pictures—a perfect match for his age.
Picture this:my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures.As I read,he reaches out and pokes(戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that?He just likes the pictures,I thought.Then I turned the page and continued.He poked the page even harder.I nearly dropped the book.I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening.He was actually a stranger to books.His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them.He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry,kid.This book is not part of your hightech world.It’s an outdated,lifeless thing.An antique,like your grandfather.Well,I may be old,but I’m not hopelessly challenged,digitally speaking.I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment.I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my newmedia experience,however:I’ve spent little time in front of a camera,since I have a face made for radio.But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing,Tianjin and Hebei Province.
Anyway,grandpa is now an Internet star—two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head.But I will make sure my 2yearold grandson sees it on his tablet.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。作者曾经是一名记者,在春节期间,作者给孙子拿了一本儿童读物,孙子却以为是平板电脑,不停地戳书。由此说明,新媒体对家庭教育和生活的影响。
24.What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Provided shelter for me.
B.Became very clear to me.
C.Took the pressure off me.
D.Worked quite well on me.
答案 B [词义猜测题。根据第一段内容以及画线词后文“as I was sitting with my 2yearold grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday”可知,作者是记者,生活在一个讲故事的新时代,有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到它是新的。对他们来说,这很正常。而在春节假期,作者和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上看书时,尤其清楚地认识到了这一点。故画线词意思是“我很清楚”。]
25.Why did the kid poke the storybook?
A.He took it for a tablet computer.
B.He disliked the colorful pictures.
C.He was angry with his grandpa.
D.He wanted to read it by himself.
答案 A [细节理解题。根据第五段中“His father frequently amused...was like that.”可知,孩子戳故事书是因为他把它当成了平板电脑。]
26.What does the author think of himself?

(2022·新高考Ⅱ卷)
Over the last seven years,most states have banned texting by drivers,and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the problem,by just about any measure,appears to be getting worse.Americans are still texting while driving,as well as using social networks and taking photos.Road accidents,which had fallen for years,are now rising sharply.
That is partly because people are driving more,but Mark Rosekind,the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,said distracted(分心)driving was “only increasing,unfortunately”.
“Big change requires big ideas,”he said in a speech last month,referring broadly to the need to improve road safety.So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior,lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer.It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity.The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted,emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York’s handsfree driving laws.
“We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior,” said Félix W.Ortiz,who pushed for the state’s 2001 ban on handheld devices by drivers.“If the Textalyzer bill becomes law,”he said,“people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.”
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。为解决司机在开车时使用手机“分神”,从而引发交通事故的问题,纽约的一名立法者提出使用Textalyzer(短信监控器)来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。
28.Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers’ texting in the US?
A.Ineffective. B.Unnecessary.
C.Inconsistent. D.Unfair.
答案 A [推理判断题。根据第一段内容以及第二段中“Yet the problem,by just about any measure,appears to be getting worse.”可推知,美国对司机发短信的禁令是无效的。ineffective无效的。]
29.What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out?
A.Where a driver came from.
B.Whether a driver used their phone.
C.How fast a driver was going.
D.When a driver arrived at the scene.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The technology could determine...handsfree driving laws.”可知,Textalyzer能够帮助警察查明司机是否使用了手机。]
30.What does the underlined word “something” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Advice. B.Data.
C.Tests. D.Laws.
答案 D [代词指代题。根据画线词所在句“We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior.”可知,something是能够改变人们的行为的事情。根据下文的“If the Textalyzer bill becomes...hands on the cell phone.’”可知,人们的行为会改变的条件是当Textalyzer法案成为法律。受到法律的约束,司机们才不会在开车的时候使用手机。故something指代的是“法律”。]
31.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.To Drive or Not to Drive? Think Before You Start
B.Texting and Driving? Watch Out for the Textalyzer
C.New York Banning HandHeld Devices by Drivers.
D.The Next Generation Cell Phone:The Textalyzer
答案 B [标题归纳题。纵观全文可知,虽然大多数州已经尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机,可是问题却越来越严重。为了解决该问题,纽约立法者提出了利用Textalyzer来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。相关人士呼吁该项技术能够成为真正的法案,由此才能真正的改变人们的行为。故B选项最适合作文章的标题。]
D
(2022·新高考Ⅱ卷)
As we age,even if we’re healthy,the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be.In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s.And among people who don’t exercise,the changes can start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band.In the beginning,it is flexible,but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr.Ben Levine,a heart specialist at the University of Texas.That’s what happens to the heart.Fortunately for those in midlife,Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser,getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy.Participants were randomly divided into two groups.The first group participated in a program of nonaerobic(无氧) exercise—balance training and weight training—three times a week.The second group did highintensity aerobic exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week.After two years,the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50yearold hearts and turned the clock back to 30 or 35yearold hearts,” says Levine.“And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump(泵送) a lot more blood during exercise. But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change,” he says.
“The sweet spot in life to start exercising,if you haven’t already,is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says.“We put healthy 70yearolds through a yearlong exercise training program,and nothing happened to them at all.”
Dr.Nieca Goldberg,a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association,says Levine’s findings are a great start.But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。一项新的研究发现,通过有氧运动,中年人的心脏会变得更年轻。
32.What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band?
A.The right way of exercising.
B.The causes of a heart attack.
C.The difficulty of keeping fit.
D.The aging process of the heart.
答案 D [推理判断题。根据第二段的“‘Think of a rubber...That’s what happens to the heart.”可知,莱文想通过橡皮筋来解释心脏的老化过程。]
33.In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design?
A.Diet plan.
B.Professional background.
C.Exercise type.
D.Previous physical condition.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据第三段的“The first group participated...or more days a week.”可知,两组在研究设计上的不同在于运动类型的不同。]
34.What does Levine’s research find?
A.Middleaged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.
B.Highintensity exercise is more suitable for the young.
C.It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.
D.The more exercise we do,the stronger our hearts get.
答案 A [细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句和第四段的首句可知,莱文的研究发现通过有氧运动,中年人的心脏会变得更年轻。]
35.What does Dr.Nieca Goldberg suggest?
A.Making use of the findings.
B.Interviewing the study participants.
C.Conducting further research.
D.Clarifying the purpose of the study.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But the study...make the biggest difference.”可知,妮卡·戈德堡博士建议进行进一步的研究。]

(2022·新高考Ⅱ卷)
Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people.However,the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
__36__ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay,put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper.Stay loose and free.__37__ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling.Even though this technique won’t work for everyone,it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect.__38__ Yet,by learning to live with imperfection,you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled(弄皱) paper.Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration,not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triplespaced(三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision.__39__ As a result,these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks(大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space.After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore,you can enter your changes into your word processor.__40__ The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A.Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B.Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C.The second draft of the essay should be better.
D.First of all,learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E.Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F.Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G.Then you can print out a fresh draft,again setting your text on triplespace.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了写文章的三个技巧。
36.D [分析文章结构和后两段首句可知,空格处是本段的主题句。由空后的“When you are first...leave the paper.”可知,本段主要讲的是要学会不间断地写,D选项概括了本段的主要内容,可作为主题句。]
37.B [空前说“Stay loose and free.”,空后说“Don’t worry about grammar or spelling.”,因此空格处应说按心里想的写,自由发挥,B选项说明了按自己的思路和想法来写,承上启下,符合语境。]
38.E [E选项中的“get their drafts”和上文的“write your draft”相呼应,说明了有很多人想第一次就写好,这是不合理的,要学会允许不完美的存在,因此E选项承上启下,符合语境。]
39.F [F选项中的“revise”和前面的“revision”一致,指出了新手作者的常见做法,且其中的“Many beginning writers”和后文的“these writers”相呼应,因此F选项承上启下,符合语境。]
40.G [根据空前和空后内容可知,空格处应说输入到文字处理器后应该做什么,G选项说的是输入到你的文字处理器后的做法,其中的“triplespace”和后文的“The resulting blank space”相呼应,因此G选项承上启下,符合语境。]

【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了正在修车的亨利救了从六楼掉下来的男孩埃里克的故事。
56.falling [考查非谓语动词。fall为动词,意为“掉落”,child和fall之间是主动关系,同时表示正在进行。故应该使用现在分词作定语。故填falling。]
57.The [考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,设空处要填冠词与Brown family 构成名词短语作主语。the+姓氏,意为“某某一家人”。同时该单词置于句首,首字母应该大写。故填The。]
58.asleep [考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,设空处应该填形容词作表语。sleep为动词,意为“睡觉”,其形容词为asleep。fall asleep为固定搭配,意为“(无意中)入睡”。故填asleep。]
59.to see [考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,句中的climbed up为谓语动词,设空处应该使用非谓语动词。根据句意,他要向上爬以看到他们(外面玩闹的孩子们),故应该使用不定式作目的状语。故填to see。]
60.accidentally [考查词性转换。设空处应该填accidental的副词accidentally修饰动词slipped。故填accidentally。]
61.and [考查并列连词。分析句子结构可知,设空处应该填连词,连接hung和screamed两个动作。根据句意,此处表示并列关系。故填and。]
62.was fixing [考查时态和主谓一致。此处考查固定句式be doing...when...“正在做……这时……”。根据空后的“when he heard the screams”可知,设空处用过去进行时。主语为Henry,第三人称单数。故填was fixing。]
63.threw [考查时态。分析句子结构可知,设空处与空后的and started构成并列谓语。故应该使用一般过去时。故填threw。]
64.son’s [考查名词的格。life与提示词son之间是所属关系,故应使用名词所有格。故填son’s。]
65.how [考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,此处考查“特殊疑问词+不定式”结构作宾语。根据句意,应用how “如何”。故填how。]

第二节 (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。
It was the day of the big cross-country run.Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线) through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David,who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence.He was small for ten years old.His usual big toothy smile was absent today.I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children.He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened.“I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably.“I gave him the choice to run or not,and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼).I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing.After making sure that David could run if he wanted,I turned to find him coming towards me,his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children,but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid.He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing.That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team.It just took him longer—that’s all.David had not missed a single practice,and although he always finished his run long after the other children,he did always finish.As a special education teacher at the school,I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
We sat down next to each other,but David wouldn’t look at me.
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.
参考范文
We sat down next to each other,but David wouldn’t look at me.Sitting on the roadside with his head down,David kept silent.“I know you have made full preparations for the run,” I put my palm on his back and persuaded him to take part in the run.“Ignore what the players from other teams would say and I believe you could make it!” Hearing my words,David beamed a big smile,stood up and moved towards the starting line.
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.I followed him to the starting line.Looking at his determined face,I was touched by his courage.When the run began,every runner rushed forward like a flash after hearing the starting pistol.Though trying hard,David was left far behind.However,he went all out to keep up with the others,his small body rocking from side to side,showing no sign of giving up.Worn out,David reached the finishing line and all the students cheered up for him.“Congratulations!”The coach came closer and proudly claimed.David showed his usual big toothy smile.
