Repair or Replace
A much-used home appliance （家用电器）suddenly stops working. You look at it helplessly. Should I repair it or replace it
It’s a hard question that almost every family has faced. There are so many things to consider, from the cost to the effects on the environment. But you may not have much time to make a decision just imagine living without a fridge in the summer.
In a recent survey, more than 95 percent of the 11350 participants（参与者）chose to repair a broken appliance. Only three percent chose to replace the appliance. Did each of them make a smart decision
In my opinion, one great way of looking at the problem is to work out the current （当前的） value of your appliance. When you buy a new home appliance, write down its cost and the number of years you expect it to last. Divide the cost by the number of years. This will tell you how much value the appliance loses each year. When the appliance breaks down, you can quickly work out its current value. If a repair costs more than the appliance’s current value, you should replace the appliance. Otherwise （否则）, you may consider having it repaired.
( )34．When a home appliance doesn’t work suddenly, most of us may ________.
A．buy a new product B．make a decision slowly
C．choose to repair it D．go on living without it
( )35．Who would most probably like to read this text

【解析】本文讲述了一个经常使用的家用电器突然停止工作，你应该修理它还是更换它呢？作者也阐述了自己的观点。
34．细节理解题。根据“In a recent survey, more than 95 percent of the 11350 participants（参与者）chose to repair a broken appliance.”可知大部分人都选择修理破损的电器。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据“A much-used home appliance （家用电器）suddenly stops working. You look at it helplessly. Should I repair it or replace it ”可知这是关于家用电器修理和替换的话题。可推测出设备的所有者肯定爱看这类文章。故选B。
36．推理判断题。根据“A much-used home appliance （家用电器）suddenly stops working. You look at it helplessly. Should I repair it or replace it ”可知该文章提到了家用电器，与生活有关。可推测出该文本来自杂志中生活的部分。故选B。

It’s a popular belief that fish can’t remember anything for longer than seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t know you or any of their friends—every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A recent study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think. In fact, certain kinds of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago, BBC reported.
In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids（丽鱼科鱼）to go to a certain area of their tank（鱼缸）to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.
This suggested that they could remember their past experiences. Researchers used computer software to watch the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved offendedly in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past fights. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence（证据）.
“If fish are able to remember that a certain area has safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
( )37．From the first three paragraph, the writer develops the article by________.
A．giving different opinions B．making a survey
C．showing the same feeling D．sharing some stories
( )38．The underlined word “offendedly” has the closest meaning to ________.
A．sadly B．madly C．silently D．properly
( )39．What Trevor Hamilton said in the last paragraph tells us ________.
A．it’s easy for fish to find a place with safe food
B．it’s dangerous for fish to fight for their friends
C．it’s necessary for fish to remember their home
D．it’s important for fish to have a good memory
【答案】37．A 38．B 39．D
【解析】本文通过实验证明鱼的记忆比人们想象的要更久。
37．推理判断题。根据“they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t know you or any of their friends”可知，第一段通过陈述不同的观点来引出本文主题，故选A。
38．词义猜测题。根据“An earlier study showed that they behaved offendedly in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past fights”可知，它们在某些鱼类面前表现得很无礼，可能是因为它们记得过去的争斗，所以划线词语与madly同义，故选B。
39．推理判断题。根据“If fish are able to remember that a certain area has safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger”可知，如果鱼能够记住某个区域有安全的食物，它们就能回到那个区域，而不会有生命危险，由此可推知鱼的记忆力好是很重要的，故选D。
D
Have you ever imagined going inside a video game That dream may soon become real. It’s called the “metaverse”.
The word is a combination of “meta”, which means beyond, and “verse”, which refers to “universe”. Metaverse is a shared virtual 3D world, or worlds. The word first appeared in a 1992 science fiction book called Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. In this story, people wear virtual reality (VR) headsets to see and join the metaverse.
Now, what happens in the book is becoming a reality. When you are wearing a VR headset, the meteaverse will feel real because the technology can simulate our senses：vision, hearing, touch, and even smell. “We’re talking about creating another reality, another world, which is as rich as the real world,” said Rev Lebaredian, vice president of simulation technology at NVIDIA, a US tech company.
So, what can you do inside the metaverse “Your location will no longer matter,” says VOA News. In the metaverse, “people would be connected at all times.” You can meet friends from other countries and go on a virtual beach vacation together. But forget Thailand—you can go to the beach on the moon, or anywhere else you can imagine. Can’t find a friend to play basketball Jump into the metaverse and find some friends to play with or go to a concert!
A true metaverse will not just be a separate world, but a complementary world closely interconnected with the real world. It will allow people from one side of the planet to meet in a virtual environment with people on the other side, carrying out normal conversations as if they were both in the same room.
The key to realizing a metaverse will be more advanced input and display technologies. Perhaps haptic gloves, which will allow hand gestures as input, and retinal displays, which will project images of virtual worlds directly onto our retinas, would be enough to attract millions to take part in a new and intimate virtual reality.
( )40．The underlined “simulate our senses” in Paragraph Three probably mean ________.
A．create similar senses B．take senses away
C．change senses greatly D．make senses better
( )41．According to the passage, in the metaverse, you ________.
A．can create a real 3D world B．can go wherever you want
C．can be anyone you want to be D．can design your own video games
( )42．The future research of metaverse will probably focus on ________.
A．how to improve the design of the headset
B．how to separate the real world from the virtual world
C．how to put as much information as possible into human brain
D．how to present pictures of virtual worlds directly on human eyes
( )43．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．What Direction Will the Metaverse Take B．It’s Time to Think About the Metaverse.
C．Why Does Human Need the Metaverse D．There Is No Future Without the Metaverse.
【答案】40．A 41．B 42．D 43．B
【解析】本文主要介绍了“元宇宙”，即进入虚拟世界由以前的想象也许即将要变成现实。并介绍了进入元宇宙中人们可以做什么和实现这项技术的关键。
40．词句猜测题。根据“When you are wearing a VR headset, the meteaverse will feel real because the technology can simulate our senses：vision, hearing. touch, and even smell.”以及“We’re talking about creating another reality, another world, which is as rich as the real world”可推测“simulate our senses”意为“创造相似的感觉”。故选A。
41．推理判断题。根据“In the metaverse, “people would be connected at all times. ”…or anywhere else you can imagine.”可知在元宇宙中，你可以去任何你想去的地方。故选B。
42．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The key to realizing a metaverse will be more advanced input and display technologies…would be enough to attract millions to take part in a new and intimate virtual reality.”可知未来对于虚拟世界研究的关键是如何把虚拟世界的图片直接呈现在人类眼睛上。故选D。
43．最佳标题题。阅读文章可知本文主要讲了元宇宙即将从想象变为现实了，因此是时候认真考虑一下了，因此“It’s Time to Think About the Metaverse”符合文章内容。故选B。

【答案】
58．safely 59．facts 60．a 61．down 62．It
63．have done 64．To achieve 65．Although##Though 66．weaker 67．be trained
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍神舟十三号安全地从天宫空间站回到地球。关于着陆，有很多有趣的事实。
58．句意：4月16日，神舟十三号航天员翟之功、王亚平、叶光复从天宫空间站安全地回到地球。根据“come back”是动词短语，可知用副词来修饰动词。故填safely。
59．句意：关于他们的着陆，有很多有趣的事实。根据“interesting”是形容词及“are”，可知后面加名词复数形式。故填facts。
60．句意：这项任务创造了一个新的速度记录。根据句意“一个新的记录”及“new”是以辅音音素开头。故填a。
61．句意：这一次，神舟十三号减少了环绕地球圈数，从11减到5。根据“from eleven to five”及“cut”可知环绕地球圈数减少了。故填down。
62．句意：回来只花了9个小时。根据“took just 9 hours to return.”可知它符合结构“It took +时间+to do sth.”，故填It。
63．句意：只有神舟六号和神舟十三号到目前为止成功地做到了。根据“so far”及主语“Only Shenzhou VI and Shenzhou XIII”是复数可知，此句是现在完成时。故填have done。
64．句意：为了实现这一点，宇航员必须以精确的时间放开降落伞。根据句意“为了实现这一点，宇航员必须以精确的时间放开降落伞。”可知此处不定式表目的，故填To achieve。
65．句意：虽然宇航员着陆后感觉良好，但是他们仍然需要坐在椅子上。根据“The long space journey changed their bodies. Their muscles and bones became much …”可知，漫长的太空之旅改变了他们的身体。他们的肌肉和骨骼变得弱了很多。所以虽然宇航员着陆后感觉不错，但是他们仍然需要坐在椅子上，although/though引导让步状语从句。故填Although/Though。
66．句意：他们的肌肉和骨骼变得弱了很多。根据“became much”和句意，可知要用形容词比较级。故填weaker。
67．句意：在接下来的几个月里，为了习惯地球的重力，他们将接受训练。根据“they will…(train) to get used to Earth’s gravity （重力）.”可知主语和谓语动词之间是被动关系，又因为“will”后加动词原形，故填be trained。

【答案】
Don’t put off today until tomorrow
This well-known saying from American famous scientist Benjamin Franklin tells us how to use and manage time well. Some students can’t make good use of their time and this has a bad influence on their study.
One weekend, I forgot to finish my homework because I only thought of relaxing myself. On Saturday I played computer games and on Sunday I played football with my friends. But soon I found I had no time at all to do my homework. The next Monday, the teacher asked me to do more homework to punish me.
To manage our time well, we should make a good plan and follow it strictly.

Repair or Replace
A much-used home appliance （家用电器）suddenly stops working. You look at it helplessly. Should I repair it or replace it
It’s a hard question that almost every family has faced. There are so many things to consider, from the cost to the effects on the environment. But you may not have much time to make a decision just imagine living without a fridge in the summer.
In a recent survey, more than 95 percent of the 11350 participants（参与者）chose to repair a broken appliance. Only three percent chose to replace the appliance. Did each of them make a smart decision
In my opinion, one great way of looking at the problem is to work out the current （当前的） value of your appliance. When you buy a new home appliance, write down its cost and the number of years you expect it to last. Divide the cost by the number of years. This will tell you how much value the appliance loses each year. When the appliance breaks down, you can quickly work out its current value. If a repair costs more than the appliance’s current value, you should replace the appliance. Otherwise （否则）, you may consider having it repaired.
( )34．When a home appliance doesn’t work suddenly, most of us may ________.
A．buy a new product B．make a decision slowly
C．choose to repair it D．go on living without it
( )35．Who would most probably like to read this text
A．The boss of the company. B．Tho owner of the appliance.
C．The clerk of the company. D．The engineer of the appliance.
( )36．The text is probably from the part of ___________ in the magazine.
A．Travel B．Life C．Science D．Sports
C
It’s a popular belief that fish can’t remember anything for longer than seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t know you or any of their friends—every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A recent study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think. In fact, certain kinds of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago, BBC reported.
In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids（丽鱼科鱼）to go to a certain area of their tank（鱼缸）to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.
This suggested that they could remember their past experiences. Researchers used computer software to watch the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved offendedly in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past fights. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence（证据）.
“If fish are able to remember that a certain area has safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
( )37．From the first three paragraph, the writer develops the article by________.
A．giving different opinions B．making a survey
C．showing the same feeling D．sharing some stories
( )38．The underlined word “offendedly” has the closest meaning to ________.
A．sadly B．madly C．silently D．properly
( )39．What Trevor Hamilton said in the last paragraph tells us ________.
A．it’s easy for fish to find a place with safe food
B．it’s dangerous for fish to fight for their friends
C．it’s necessary for fish to remember their home
D．it’s important for fish to have a good memory
D
Have you ever imagined going inside a video game That dream may soon become real. It’s called the “metaverse”.
The word is a combination of “meta”, which means beyond, and “verse”, which refers to “universe”. Metaverse is a shared virtual 3D world, or worlds. The word first appeared in a 1992 science fiction book called Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. In this story, people wear virtual reality (VR) headsets to see and join the metaverse.
Now, what happens in the book is becoming a reality. When you are wearing a VR headset, the meteaverse will feel real because the technology can simulate our senses：vision, hearing, touch, and even smell. “We’re talking about creating another reality, another world, which is as rich as the real world,” said Rev Lebaredian, vice president of simulation technology at NVIDIA, a US tech company.
So, what can you do inside the metaverse “Your location will no longer matter,” says VOA News. In the metaverse, “people would be connected at all times.” You can meet friends from other countries and go on a virtual beach vacation together. But forget Thailand—you can go to the beach on the moon, or anywhere else you can imagine. Can’t find a friend to play basketball Jump into the metaverse and find some friends to play with or go to a concert!
A true metaverse will not just be a separate world, but a complementary world closely interconnected with the real world. It will allow people from one side of the planet to meet in a virtual environment with people on the other side, carrying out normal conversations as if they were both in the same room.
The key to realizing a metaverse will be more advanced input and display technologies. Perhaps haptic gloves, which will allow hand gestures as input, and retinal displays, which will project images of virtual worlds directly onto our retinas, would be enough to attract millions to take part in a new and intimate virtual reality.
( )40．The underlined “simulate our senses” in Paragraph Three probably mean ________.
A．create similar senses B．take senses away
C．change senses greatly D．make senses better
( )41．According to the passage, in the metaverse, you ________.
A．can create a real 3D world B．can go wherever you want
C．can be anyone you want to be D．can design your own video games
( )42．The future research of metaverse will probably focus on ________.
A．how to improve the design of the headset
B．how to separate the real world from the virtual world
C．how to put as much information as possible into human brain
D．how to present pictures of virtual worlds directly on human eyes
( )43．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．What Direction Will the Metaverse Take B．It’s Time to Think About the Metaverse.
C．Why Does Human Need the Metaverse D．There Is No Future Without the Metaverse.
