1．Margie wrote about it that night in her diary，"Today Tommy found a real book!"
It was a very old book.Margie's grandfather once said that when he was a little boy his grandfather told him that there was a time when all stories were printed on paper.They turned the pages，which were yellow and crinkly（皺巴巴的），and it was awfully funny to read words that stood still instead of moving the way they were supposed to-on a screen.
"What's it about？"
"School."
Margie was scornful."School？What's there to write about school？"Margie was always fed up with school.The mechanical teacher had been giving her test after test in geography.So she said to Tommy，"Why would anyone write about school？"Tommy looked at her with very superior eyes，"Because it's not our kind of school，stupid.This is the old kind of school that they had centuries ago."
She read the book over his shoulder for a while，and then said，"Anyway，they had a teacher."
"Sure they had a teacher，but it wasn't a regular teacher.It was a man."
"A man isn't smart enough."She added，"I wouldn't want a strange man in my house to teach me."
Tommy screamed with laughter."You don't know much，Margie.They had a special building and all the kids of the same age went there，learning the same thing from 8 a.m.jye.ai 5 p.m.On Weekdays."'
They weren't even half-finished when Margie's mother called，"Margie!School!"Margie looked up."Not yet，Mamma.""Now!"said Mrs.Jones.
Actually the mechanical teacher was on and waiting for her.It was always on at the same time every day except Saturday and Sunday，because her mother said little girls learned better if they learned at regular time.
The large screen was lit up."Today's math lesson is on the addition of proper fractions（分數(shù)）.Please insert yesterday's homework in the proper slot（插槽）."Margie did so with a sigh.She was thinking about how the kids must have loved it in the old days.All the kids from the whole neighborhood came，sitting together in the schoolroom，going home together at the end of the day.And the teachers were people.She was thinking about the fun they had.
（1）Where is Margie's schoolroom？
A．Inside her house.
B．In a special building.
C．On a large screen.
D．Around her neighborhood.
（2）What is the similarity between the school in the book and the one Margie attended？

D．Advanced learning equipment.
（3）Which of the following may Margie agree with？
A．Doing math homework is more than funny.
B．The school life in the old days is much more appealing.
C．Mechanical teachers are more suitable in teaching for her.

2．On January 22，2022，the British-Belgian 19-year-old，Zara Rutherford，successfully landed her two-seat microlight aircraft back at the Kortrijk-Wevelgem Airport，from where she had departed 155 days ago，fulfilling her dream to be the youngest woman to fly around the world solo.
"I feel excited not only to break the Guinness World Record，but also to diminish the gender gap by 11 years between the current youngest male record holder Travis Ludlow 18 at the time of his record，and the previous female record holder Shaesta Waez，who was 30 when she completed her 'Dreams Soar' around-the-world flight." Rutherford wrote on her blog.
Rutherford's journey crossing five continents and 52 countries began on August 18，2021.She encountered numerous unexpected delays along the way.They included an unscheduled stop in Redding，California，due to wildfires and a month-long stop in Nome，Alaska，to renew her Russian visa.She also faced several challenges in the air.When flying from Iceland to Greenland，Rutherford lost radio contact with her ground team for much of the 3-hour flight.The incidents also resulted in her having to cross over Russia in sub-zero temperatures.The hardest part was flying over Siberia—it was extremely cold and if the engine broke down，she'd be hours away from rescue.Despite the severe difficulties，the determined young pilot never gave up on her dream.
Rutherford grew up around airplanes.Her British father flies commercially，while her Belgian mother is a recreational pilot.The young girl began learning how to fly at age 14 and obtained her aviators（飛行員）license in 2020.With her goal of flying around the world accomplished，Rutherford now has her sights set even higher.She wants to become an astronaut and explore space.
She hopes that her journey will encourage more young women to pursue careers in aviation.Currently the number of female pilots is just 5 percent.Rutherford says， "It's an easy thing to say，but just go for it.If you don't try and see how high you can fly，then you'll never know."
（1）What does the underlined word "diminish" in paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．Narrow
B．Divide.
C．Fill.
D．Cause.
（2）Why did Rutherford have to stop in Nome？
A．The wildfires were too fierce.
B．Her Russian visa was due.
C．The weather was too severe.
D．Her engine broke down.
（3）What's the purpose of paragraph 4？
A．To switch to a new topic.
B．To summarize her achievements.
C．To illustrate her admirable talents.
D．To add some background information.
（4）What does the passage try to convey？
A．Life is not all roses.
B．Dream big，aim high.
C．Not to advance is to go back.
D．The greatest talkers，the least doers.組卷：13引用：5難度：0.5 -
3．In order to help discover spoilage （變質(zhì)） and reduce food waste for supermarkets and consumers，researchers have developed new low-cost，smart phone-linked，eco-friendly spoilage sensors for meat and fish packaging.
One in three UK consumers throw away food just because it reaches the use-by date （保存期），but 60% of the ￡12.5 billion-worth of food we throw away each year is safe to eat.
The researchers，whose findings were published in ACS Sensors，say the sensors could also eventually replace the use-by date - a widely used indicator of being fresh and eatable.
The sensors cost two US cents each to make.Known as "paper-based electrical gas sensors （PEGS）"，they detect spoilage gases like ammonia （a poisonous gas with a strong unpleasant smell） in meat and fish products.The information provided by the electronic nose is received by a smart phone，and then you can know whether the food is fresh and safe to eat.
The Imperial College London researchers who developed PEGS made the sensors by printing carbon electrodes （電極） onto a special type of paper.The materials are eco-friendly and harmless，so they don't damage the environment and are safe to use in food packaging.The sensors，combined with a tiny electronic system，then inform nearby mobile devices，which identify and understand the data about spoilage gases.
Lead author Dr Firat Guder of Imperial's Department of Bioengineering，said， "Although they're designed to keep us safe，use-by dates can lead to eatable food being thrown away.They don't always reflect its actual freshness.In fact，people often get sick from food-borne diseases due to poor storage，even when an item is within its use-by date."
"These sensors are cheap enough so we hope to see supermarkets using them within three years.Our goal is to use PEGS in food packaging to reduce unnecessary food waste."
The authors hope that PEGS could have applications beyond food processing，like sensing chemicals in agriculture，air quality，and detecting disease markers in breath like those involved in kidney disease.
（1）What is the function of PEGS according to the text？
A．To improve the taste of foods.
B．To improve the service of stores.
C．To help supermarkets store foods.
D．To help people test food freshness.
（2）What role does the smartphone play while PEGS are functioning？
A．It acts as an electronic nose.
B．It reads the data collected by PEGS.
C．It helps print the gas sensors onto paper.
D．It discovers the spoilage gases from foods.
（3）What does Dr Firat Guder say about use-by dates？
A．They are not completely reliable.
B．They can help reduce food waste.
C．They are based on scientific research.
D．They are not accepted by the consumers.
（4）What does the author mainly talk about in the text？
A．The process of researching spoilage sensors.
B．A new technology in packaging to reduce food waste.
C．The application of spoilage sensors beyond food processing.
D．The influence of use-by dates on supermarkets and consumers.組卷：3引用：6難度：0.5

4．When you've got too much to do，the natural response is to try to fit in more tasks，in order to free up hours to do the things you love.There are countless books promising to help you，but these attempts don't always work.（1）
The core problem is that the potential supply of new tasks is endless.Get faster at completing work projects and you'll simply be given more work，thanks to your reputation as an efficient employee.It's the personal equivalent of what happens when a new lane is added to a motorway to ease traffic jams.（2）So congestion remains as bad as it ever was.
（3）Social expectations do，too.Research by historian Ruth Cowan.highlights that when washing machines and vacuum cleaners were introduced，housework got more burdensome because standards of cleanliness also rose.Deep down，we believe the false promise of ever more efficiency.Yes，modest improvements in productivity can help you get through more work，but the truth is that there will always be more things worth doing than time in which to do them. （4）
The option you take is up to you：perhaps you'll decide to tolerate a messy house in order to spend more time reading to your children.Or perhaps you're willing to sacrifice a reputation as the best worker in your office because your side business as a jewelry designer is worth it.（5）Otherwise，it'll get made for you—and you may find yourself replying to emails at 11：30 p.m.jye.ai a Friday night.
A.If you want to spend more time with your children，you have to do everything else more efficiently.
B.Instead，the more you struggle to get on top of things，the busier，you find yourself.
C.Get quicker at answering emails，and you'll get more of them.
D.It's not just work that mounts up as efficiency rises.
E.What matters is making the choice consciously.
F.The extra capacity just attracts more（cars）.
G.So we always have to make hard choices.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

48．I was a proud mother of three children，my last little one being delivered in the middle of this pandemic.She was born in August and her name is Aida.
Shortly after having Aida，my mother-in-law showed me something she learned from her friend's mother in an art class she attended weekly.She had showed me how to knit a scarf （織圍巾）.She showed me stitches and gave me her half done project.
I spent a lot of time breastfeeding my sweet little girl，so I had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day.I enjoyed making the scarf so I purchased tons of yarn （紗線） since it was winter.I wanted to make scarves for my three children as Christmas gifts.
There was a new family that moved in down the street.The only daughter of the family was Jane，a shy girl，aged 14，the same age of my oldest son David.It seemed that she came from a poor family，for she always wore old clothes.Worse still，in such cold days，she had no more clothes to wear and trembled with cold.
Due to the pandemic，society was thrown into crisis mode （危機模式）.Schools were closed，food supplies and deliveries were stopped and children were stuck at home，In such discouraging times，however，they became good companions，talking and playing at home or around the houses.
It was very cold this winter.Every time David came back from outside，with a red face，he always cried， "Mum，it's freezing outside!" Then he came over to see whether I finished the scarf.I could tell how impatient he was to wear my scarf sooner!I had to speed the project to satisfy his expectation.But David comforted me saying he could wait a few days.What a kind and considerate boy he was!Then my great project finally was accomplished on the morning ahead of Christmas.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右；
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
I wrapped the scarf around David's neck._______
Later that day David came back saying Jane also deserved a scarf.___________組卷：8引用：2難度：0.5
