第二部分 閱讀(共兩節(jié),滿分 50 分)
第一節(jié)(共 15 小題;每小題 2.5 分,滿分 37.5 分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的 A、B、C、D 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
Just like people, dogs tend to have distinct and unique personalities. Some of a dog’s personality traits (特點(diǎn)) are completely individual, but many traits are predictable based on the breed (品種). Knowing the common traits of certain dog breeds enables you to choose a dog whose personality matches well with your lifestyle.
Siberian Husky
You may already know that Siberian Huskies have a
historical role as sled dogs. This breeding makes them get
along well with other animals and are great for families.
Their breeding also gives them incredible tolerance, so you
will have to ensure that they have enough space to run safely.
Unlike some of the other working dogs, Siberian Huskies
tend to be too friendly to be very good guard dogs.
Bulldog
The distinctive Bulldog is friendly and loyal. Bulldogs
tend to be calm by nature, but they still enjoy getting out for
walks. Moderate exercise is important for
weight-management given their small but solid stature and
the fact that their calm nature can make them come off as
lazy. Bulldogs are great companions and are courageous and
steady.
Cocker Spaniel
The Cocker Spaniel’s distinctive long ears and curly
hair are a major outward sign of their sweet, friendly
personalities. As sporting dogs, they were bred to help
hunters find game and are, therefore, highly trainable.
Cocker Spaniels love to exercise and play and are great with
kids. If they don’t get enough energy out, though, they can
become frustrated and destructive.
Dachshund
The Dachshund’s small physical size is no match for
their big personality. Their short legs do not make
Dachshunds great running or hiking buddies, but that does
not mean they are low-energy. They are a unique mix of a
great guard dog—brave, loyal, and a bit stubborn—while
being friendly enough to win over just about anyone.
21. Which of the following might be fit for an unenergetic person who lives in a studio flat?
A. A Siberian Husky. B. A Bulldog.
C. A Cocker Spaniel. D. A Dachshund.
22. What message does the text convey?
A. Every dog has its day.
B. Teach an old dog new tricks.
C. If you want a friend, get a dog.
D. A good dog deserves a good bone.
23. Where is the text most probably found?
A. A pet clinic brochure. B. A personality test book.
C. A biological research. D. A dog breeding website.
B
In 1990, during a performance of my stage play, I became preoccupied with one particular member of the audience. While everybody else laughed, there she sat, staring at the floor, with her fingers in her ears. I’ll never forget her look of complete discomfort.
That woman was my mother. Despite the fact I’d established myself as a humorist, my mother never found me or my work particularly funny. She was my hardest critic. “Is Drew really that funny?” she’d ask family members.
To make matters worse, the feeling was mutual (相互的): though our social circle swore that she was humorous, I never saw it. My mother was supposedly very funny in her first language, Anishinaabemowin—an Indigenous (原住民的) language, but alas, I didn’t speak it. At family gatherings, when somebody would say something “funny” in Anishinaabemowin, she’d explain it to me. Sometimes the humour translated. Sometimes it didn’t.
For a while I was convinced I would never make her laugh. Then, in 2005, I succeeded. I had published a book called Me Funny. In it were dozens of essays deconstructing Indigenous humour, along with 50 so-called “Indian jokes” to break up the various chapters. (For instance, “Why do Native people hate snow? Because it’s white and all over our land.”) She laughed hard and declared, “Wow, that was funny!”
In 2009, my mother passed away at the age of 77. During the funeral, in the tears, family member after family member got up and recounted things she had done and said over the years. To my surprise, I found myself laughing. Suddenly I remembered a moment from the early ’90s, when my mother asked me, completely serious, what “owie” meant in French. I struggled to come up with an answer until I spelled it out in my mind: oui (“yes” in English).
More and more stories about her surfaced. We laughed as we remembered her. I couldn’t see my mother’s forest for my own trees. I wish I could have shared those laughs with her while she was alive, but I’m glad I finally made the connection.
24. What prevented the author and his mother from understanding each other’s humour?
A. Language barriers.
B. The author’s unique job.
C. Mom’s critical personality.
D. Views of Indigenous people.
25. Why did the author laugh at mother’s funeral?
A. He tried to fit in his Indigenous family.
B. He recalled amusing moments about mom.
C. He wanted to hide his sadness over mother’s death.
D. He intended his laugh to make mother rest in peace.
26. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. The author learned from mother a very important life lesson.
B. The author failed to relate to his mother from her perspective.
C. The author finally understood mother’s sense of humour better.
D. The author didn’t write enough humorous books to make mother laugh.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Am I funny? B. Why isn’t Mom laughing?
C. What’s so funny? D. Does laughter have an accent?
C
Famous Israeli gastronome (美食家) Michal Ansky is a professional taster and a Master Chef judge. So when she was invited to the world’s first public blind taste test setting lab-grown chicken into competition against a conventionally raised product, she was confident that she would be able to tell the difference.
Surrounded by cameras at a restaurant bar, she tasted from two dishes, labeled A and B. A team of lawyers looked on, tasked with making sure that the tasting truly was blind. Even the chef who sautéed ( 嫩 煎 ) the meat in sunflower oil—no salt, no seasonings—didn’t know which was which. Both were flavorless, Ansky noted, but she would bet her reputation that sample A was the real thing. It had a richer, more “chickeny” taste.
The tasting was hosted by a meat-tech startup SuperMeat at its in-house restaurant, The Chicken. Ever since 2013, when the first lab-grown hamburger was presented to the public with a $330,000 price tag, alternative-meat companies have been inching closer to a product that is just as tasty and nearly as affordable as the real thing, but without the climate impacts. One new study found high-income countries could cut agricultural emissions (排放物) by almost two-thirds by moving away from animal-based foods.
But one question remains: Would consumers be able to tell the difference? SuperMeat decided to put its product to the test without the deep frying and sauces that are usually used to mask a lack of flavor. Sample B had less flavor, so Ansky reasoned that it had to be the one grown in a lab. She was so convinced of her decision that when SuperMeat founder Ido Savir announced that it was in fact A that was lab-grown, she corrected him. “No,” she said. “A is the real chicken.”
A day later, I spoke to Ansky about the tasting. “It’s one of the only times in my life that I’m really happy that I was wrong,” she admitted.
28. What do we know about the taste test?
A. It was hosted by a chicken-themed restaurant.
B. Food samples were made with different flavors.
C. Michal Ansky was invited to the test for her reputation.
D. Lawyers were involved to ensure the authority of the activity.
29. The purpose of hosting the taste test is to prove that ________.
A. lab-grown chicken tastes as good as raised chicken
B. meat eaters turn a blind eye to the taste of chicken
C. even a world-famous gastronome can make mistakes
D. chicken should be cooked well to appeal to customers
30. What is the biggest advantage of lab-grown chicken?
A. More chickeny taste.
B. More affordable price.
C. Less artificial flavor.
D. Less carbon footprint.
31. Why did Ansky say that she was happy that she was wrong?
A. She wanted to ease her embarrassment.
B. She saw a milestone in the food industry.
C. She changed people’s opinion of her job.
D. She believed in the power of making mistakes.
D
All routes to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) degrees run through calculus (微積分) classes. Each year, thousands of college students take introductory calculus. But only a small number ultimately complete a STEM degree, and research about why students abandon such degrees suggests that traditional calculus courses are one of the reasons. With scientific understanding and innovation increasingly central to solving 21st-century problems, this loss of talent is something society can ill afford.
Math departments alone are unlikely to solve this dilemma. Several of the promising calculus reforms were spearheaded by professors outside of math departments. STEM faculty are prioritizing cooperation across disciplines to transform math classes to cultivate a diverse generation of STEM researchers and professionals.
This is not uncharted territory. In 2013, life sciences faculty at the University of California, Los Angeles, developed a two-course sequence that covers classic calculus topics, but also emphasizes their application in a biological context. Creating this course, Mathematics for Life Scientists, wasn’t easy. The life sciences faculty involved, none of whom had a joint appointment with the math department, said they turned to designing the course themselves after math faculty rejected their request for cooperation.
In Ohio, Wright State University’s Engineering departments also revised math offerings. Rather than changing the content of the calculus course, they focused on preparing students for calculus by emphasizing “engineering motivation for math.” The approach enhanced opportunities for students with weaker math backgrounds to succeed in engineering and doubled the average graduation rate of engineering students without reducing the average grade of graduates. Math learning is fundamental to all STEM fields, but the opposite also appears to be true.
32. What problem is mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. Increasing STEM dropout rate.
B. The reform of calculus courses.
C. Shrinking admission to STEM majors.
D. The shaken belief in the role of calculus.
33. What does “spearheaded” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. challenged B. evaluated C. cancelled D. initiated
34. What do we know about the calculus course reform according to the text?
A. STEM departments made calculus content easier to improve students’ grades.
B. Math departments sought cooperation with STEM counterparts to urge reforms.
C. Placing calculus learning in specific STEM contexts is a workable approach.
D. Removing calculus is the key to increasing graduation rate of STEM students.
35. What does “the opposite” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The STEM fields may be the foundation of other science subjects.
B. The STEM fields may be central to making math learning effective.
C. Math learning may set barrier for science study in the STEM fields.
D. Math learning may make way for science study in the STEM fields.

Workers are quitting their jobs. 36 So many, in fact. We’re still exactly in the middle of the so-called Great Resignation globally. In the US, the Labor Department revealed that 4.3 million Americans left their jobs in August 2021—the highest number on record. 37 In fact, there are several reasons why workers are walking away. Some quit their jobs owing to poor working conditions or fears of contracting COVID-19; others maybe resign from their offices on account of existential anxieties among them.
Have you heard the story like that? In the golden age of American labor, 20th-century workers stayed in one job for 40 years and retired with a gold watch. But that’s a fairy tale. 38 Actually, the economy was better off for it. Since the 1980s Americans have quit less, and many have stayed in their jobs for fear that the safety net wouldn’t support them while they look for a new one. 39 And they’re being rewarded for their lack of patience: Wages for low-income workers are rising at their fastest rate since the Great Depression. So to some extent, the Great Resignation is, literally, great.
40 That means 1 in 14 hotel clerks, restaurant servers, and bar tenders said goodbye in a single month. Thanks to several COVID-19 relief checks, a delayed rent payment and student-loan forgiveness, almost everybody has more freedom to quit jobs they hate and switch to something else. Particularly those who are young and have a low income benefit a lot from it.
A. A lot of them are doing that.
B. It seems like a tendency to resign.
C. Almost every industry faces the resignation crisis.
D. But Americans seem to be done with sticking it out.
E. In the UK, the number of open jobs was over 1 million.
F. Nearly 7% of employees in the service industry left their jobs.
G. The truth is people in the 1960s and ’70s quit their jobs more often.

On April 6, 1909, six men claimed their place as the first explorers to reach the North Pole.
Many had tried to reach the pole, but Peary’s team 41 them through clever planning.

After four journeys to the Arctic, Peary learned how to 48 better for the trip. This time, he had other teams go ahead and leave 49 along the way to provide for their final dash. They drove long hours every day. “Forced 50 all the time,” Peary explained.

They couldn’t stay longer as spring was coming and the ice was about to melt.

Hugging’s Evolutionary Origins
Many of us are eager for the warmth of a hug nowadays. Humans biologically need touch, and a good long hug is one of the best ways 56 (get) it. Our need for a hug goes all the way back to the 57 (survive) of our species. When we’re born, we can’t care for ourselves and we need to be comfortable with being held in order to survive. We 58 (reward) when we have a comfortable hug. It is 59 rush of feel-good hormones(荷爾蒙)called oxytocin. When we can’t hug, we don’t get those good hormones.
We may not know 60 we’re getting from greeting our friends and family with a hug; we just enjoy it. It is not until those experiences are taken away that we feel pain and sadness. Some people grow up in more formal families 61 hugging isn’t common. Others may experience abuse that makes hugging 62 (please). 63 both cases, when children don’t experience healthy touch, their development will be affected. Kids who didn’t grow up 64 (hold) miss out on that sense of safety and protection. They may act out or separate from 65 around them. Sometimes, the opposite may also be true. Some children may hope for any form of positive attention that they didn’t get at home.

In late December, the cow path near our house in Tennessee was still covered with leaves, but I knew snow would be falling soon enough. My younger brother, Buddy Earl, and I were on an important mission: Go to Uncle Tommie’s place and get a goose(鵝). The hiking over Little Mountain and getting there would be worth it. Uncle Tommie raised the best geese around, and he’d offered to give us one for Christmas dinner.
Uncle Tommie met us at the door. “I’m not rushing you boys,” he said, “but as light snow started, you’d better get the goose and head home.” It didn’t take me long to pick up a goose from his yard. Buddy and I said a quick thank you and goodbye. The snow came down harder, wind blowing every way.
“I’m as cold as ice. How about you?” asked Buddy.
I tapped the goose’s head. “I wish we had feathers to keep us warm like you,” I said. “Or heavier coats.”
“Doug, I’m freezing,” Buddy said. I could hardly hear him over the wind and my own chattering teeth. “I think we should go back.” The idea was attractive, but we were closer to home than to Uncle Tommie’s house. We had to push on.
I held the goose closer to my chest. The bird was the only warm thing about me. I stepped in front of my brother. “Buddy, open your coat!” “Are you crazy?” He asked. “I’ll lose the little warmth I have.” When he saw I was serious, he slowly unzipped (拉開……的拉鏈) his coat and opened it. I placed the warm goose inside his coat and zipped it back up. “Make sure you keep the goose’s head out so it can breathe.” Buddy sighed happily. My plan was working.
注意:
1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右;
2. 請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
“Doug, it is time for you to open your coat. ”

第一節(jié)
Last Tuesday witnessed the successful landing of Shenzhou-13 Manned Spaceship. While watching the thrilling moments with all my classmates, I felt so excited that I couldn’t hold back my tears.
At the sight of the astronauts being lifted out of the return capsule, I was overwhelmed with pride. Their safe return has not only fully demonstrated the great power of our motherland but also awakened in us a burning ambition to help our country make continual progress in all its undertakings.
Inspired by the successful landing, we teenagers should take on the responsibility to make our country stronger!
第二節(jié)
“Doug, it is time for you to open your coat. ” Buddy handed the goose to me. Its feathered body was as warm as angel feathers inside my coat. Putting my freezing hands on its body, I felt a rush of warmth sweeping over me. We passed the goose back and forth between us all the way home, battling biting cold. After what seemed like ages, we got home. Upon arrival, we couldn’t wait to explain to our parents how the goose had kept us from freezing. (76 words)
Hearing our surviving experience, my parents hesitated about what to do with the goose. “What should we have for Christmas dinner?” They looked at us with a concerned look. “Anything but the goose. He has saved our lives.” Buddy and I exclaimed. Shifting gazes between us and the goose which was honking as if he were pleading too. “Fine. Then we’ll do without it,” my parents announced. “Hooray!” we sprang to our feet. That Christmas, we didn’t have a grand feast, but came upon a hero in our life. (75 words)

M: It was during the night of the basketball championship. And the worst thing is that we lost the game and all hopes of winning our title back.
W: What a pity! Sit down here for a minute and tell me all about it.
M: Well, it all happened last Thursday...

M: What time is it, Sylvia?
W: It’s seven fifty.
M: Huh, my watch loses ten minutes. Maybe it’s the battery.
W: Oh, that reminds me. I should let you know how absent-minded I was.
M: What was that?
W: Well, a few mornings ago, when I woke up, it was already seven thirty. I thought I had slept through the alarm.
M: Seven thirty! That didn’t give you much time, did it?
W: No, it didn’t. I took a quick shower, put on my clothes, and ran all the way here.
M: Did you make it in time?
W: Yeah, I think I got here right at eight. But there was one problem.
M: What was that?
W: There were no students; I was the only one here!
M: Oh, no! Let me guess. It was Saturday!
W: That’s right. I need a clock that tells me what day it is.

M: How are you going in the Big Apple?
W: Not good. I’ve been depressed lately.
M: I’m sorry to hear that. Are things getting you down?
W: I don’t know what it is. I feel like I am out of my element. Sometimes I get dizzy and feel like the room is spinning.
M: You’re probably experiencing culture shock. Don’t worry. Things will get better in time.
W: I do miss my family, home-cooked meals, the farm animals, and the peaceful starry nights.
M: Want to rent a Mexican movie in Spanish? That might cheer you up.
W: That’s a good idea. My heart is thirsty for home, so that just might work.
M: How about going to Taco Bell for some authentic Mexican food? Ha! Ha! Just joking.
W: Funny, funny. You’re a good guy. Thanks for being my friend.
M: No problem. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m always available.

M: Japan is one of the world’s best travel destinations. Unfortunately, most budget travelers don’t visit Japan because they figure it’s too expensive. What they, and perhaps you, don’t know is that a vacation in Japan can be quite affordable. Here are some tips to help you save money. First, you should avoid peak travel time. There are three major holiday periods in Japan: the New Year holidays, the Golden Week holiday season—April 29 to May 5 and the Obon Festival season—three days centered on August 15. Second, consider buying a bus pass if you plan on doing a lot of sightseeing. This will save your money since bus passes typically offer deals when you purchase them. Third, while Japan has plenty of enjoyable sightseeing attractions that are free, most museums and temples charge for admission at least a few hundred yen. Many attractions offer children and seniors discounts. Child rates typically apply to those under 12 and senior discounts apply to those of 65 and over. The most important thing to remember is that you are wise with your choices and you avoid unnecessary things that you do not need. Then you will be able to enjoy Japan without spending all of your savings.
