In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the ”Ice Ribbon“, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.
In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small time gap, tiny imperfections in the ice can make all the differences. ”It’s not just a hunk of ice like you’d normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,“ told Kenneth Golden, a U. S. mathematician who studies the structures of ice. ”It’s a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think.“
The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal(六边形)structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water, the more consistent the ice surface.
In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very important, As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 , is not new when it comes to ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant, like Freon.
With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2, doesn’t damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other synthetic refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.
”We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way.“ told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
24. What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making
A. The water isn’t able to freeze completely.
B. The quality of the ice will be affected.
C. The ice surface will be more consistent.
D. It’s likely for athletes to fall on the ice.
25. Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games
A. It’s the most advanced technology for ice-making.
B. CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.
C. CO2 is more environmentally friendly than Freon.
D. CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.
26. What is Gao Bo’s attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making
A. Unclear. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Are Coming
B. Beneath Olympic Ice
C. The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games
D. The Structure of Ice
C
Are you good at interpreting other people’s emotions Then there’s a good chance that you’re also good at understanding what animals try to say.
A new Danish-Swiss study published in the open journal Royal Society Open Science indicates that empathetic (能共情的) people are also good at decoding (解读) animal sounds. Other factors also improve your chance of communicating with animals — you are more likely to be animal-empathetic if you also work with animals, and the ability seems to peak in those aged 20-29 years old, according to the scientists.
“Our results show that, based on animal sounds, people are able to tell whether an animal is agitated (焦虑不安的) or not and whether the animal expresses positive or negative emotions,” says behavioural biologist Elodie Briefer from the University of Copenhagen’s Faculty of Science. “This is true in connection with a number of different mammals. We can also see that our ability to interpret the sounds depends on factors such as age, first-hand knowledge of animals, and not least how empathetic we are towards other people.”
The study was based on answers from 1024 people across 48 countries. They were introduced to sounds from six mammals: goats, cattle, domesticated horses, Asian wild horses, pigs, and wild boars. The sounds from the six animals were played to the study’s respondents together with sounds of human nonsense (胡言乱语) produced by actors. Afterwards, the participants had to guess whether the sounds expressed a high or low level of agitation, and if the emotions were positive or negative. Following the test, the participants were asked to take an empathy test that measured their empathy towards human beings. “It is a convincing test which measures empathy towards other people,” Elodie Briefer explains. “And we saw a clear connection with the ability to interpret animal sounds.”
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A. By stating opinions. B. By quoting a saying.
C. By giving an example. D. By asking a question.
29. Who might be best at understanding animal emotions based on the study
A. A 15-year-old hard-working student. B. A 25-year-old caring animal raiser.
C. A29-year-old experienced hunter. D. A 30-year-old friendly teacher.
30. What does Elodie Briefer think of the test involved
A. Doubtful. B. Reliable. C. Ineffective. D. Disappointing.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Human empathy extends to animals B. Emotion interpretation helps animals
C. Sound interpretation depends on ages D. Emotion expression protects animals
D
Soaring to 29, 035 feet, the famous Mount Everest had long been considered unclimbable due to the freezing weather, the obvious potential fall from cliffs and the effects of the extreme high altitude, often called “mountain sickness.” But that was to be changed by Edmund Hillary.
When he was invited to join the British Everest expedition in 1953, Edmund Hillary was a highly capable climber. The glacier-covered peaks in his hometown in New Zealand proved a perfect training ground for the Himalaya. It was his fourth Himalayan expedition in just over two years and he was at the peak of fitness.
On May 28, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, an experienced Sherpa (夏尔巴人) set out and reached the South Summit by 9 a. m. next day. But after that, the ridge (山脊) slightly fell before rising suddenly in a rocky spur (尖坡) about 17 meters high just before the true summit. The formation is difficult to climb due to its extreme pitch because a mistake would be deadly. Scratching at the snow with his ax, Hillary managed to overcome this enormous obstacle, later to be known as the Hillary Step.
At 11:30 a. m, the two men found themselves standing at the top of the world. “Not until we were about 50 feet of the top was I ever completely convinced that we were actually going to reach the summit.” Hillary later recounted, “Of course I was very, very pleased to be on the summit, but my first thought was a little bit of surprise. After all, this is the ambition of all mountaineers.”
Emerging as the first to summit Mount Everest, Hillary Hillary continued by helping explore Antarctica, and establishing the Himalayan Trust (信托基金), through which he provided a number of beneficial services to the Himalayan peoples. He also a sizeable legacy that mountain climbers have chased ever since. As a young climber said, “It was not just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit of Mount Everest. It was all of humanity. Suddenly, all of us could go.”
32. What made Edmund Hillary a capable climber on the 1953 expedition
A. His undisputed reputation. B. His remarkable physical condition.
C. His previous training on Mount Everest. D. His exceptional ability to adapt to the cold.
33. What does the Hillary Step refer to
A. A mistake Hillary avoided making. B. A steep spur of rock Hillary conquered.
C. An ax Hillary used to scratch snow. D. A sudden fall of a ridge Hillary skipped.
34. What was Hillary’s initial feeling upon reaching the summit of Mount Everest
A. Overwhelming joy. B. Enormous pride.
C. Complete disbelief. D. A touch of astonishment.
35. What was the impact of Hillary’s achievement on mountaineering
A. It opens up possibilities for other climbers.
B It enabled him to give back to his hometown.
C It left financial benefits for climbers to pursue.
D. It led to friendly regulations for mountaineering.

In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the ”Ice Ribbon“, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.
In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small time gap, tiny imperfections in the ice can make all the differences. ”It’s not just a hunk of ice like you’d normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,“ told Kenneth Golden, a U. S. mathematician who studies the structures of ice. ”It’s a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think.“
The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal(六边形的)structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water, the more consistent the ice surface.
In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very important, As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 , is not new when it comes to ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant, like Freon.
With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2, doesn’t damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other synthetic refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.
”We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way.“ told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
24. What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making
A. The water isn’t able to freeze completely.
B. The quality of the ice will be affected.
C. The ice surface will be more consistent.
D. It’s likely for athletes to fall on the ice.
25. Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games
A. It’s the most advanced technology for ice-making.
B. CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.
C. CO2 is more environmentally friendly than Freon.
D. CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.
26. What is Gao Bo’s attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making
A. Unclear. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Are Coming
B. Beneath Olympic Ice
C. The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games
D. The Structure of Ice
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了北京冬奥会在制冰的原料和技术上的精益求精，既要保证冰的纯净又要保证其环保。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water, the more consistent the ice surface.(这种杂质不适合于水结冰时形成的常规六边形结构。水越纯净，冰面越稳定。)”可知，这些杂质不适合水结冰时形成的规则的六边形结构。水越纯净，冰面就越坚固，即水中的杂质会使冰的质量受到影响。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesn’t damage the ozone layer. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly(作为大气中的一种元素，二氧化碳不会破坏臭氧层。尽管二氧化碳是一种温室气体，但其温室效应远低于其他合成制冷剂，冬奥会场馆在制冰过程中采用二氧化碳代替氟利昂作为制冷剂，将大大减少二氧化碳的排放。)”可知，二氧化碳冷却技术被应用于冬奥会是因为二氧化碳比氟利昂更环保。故选C。
3. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way(我们认为这些技术创新将以一种更令人印象深刻的方式将北京2022年冬奥会带给全世界的观众。)” 可知，高博认为这些技术创新将以一种更令人印象深刻的方式将北京2022年冬奥会带给全世界的观众。由此可推断，高博对二氧化碳用于制冰持支持态度。故选D。
4. 主旨大意题。通读全文并结合文章第一段“In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the ”Ice Ribbon”，a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.(2021年1月，北京冬奥会标志性场馆“冰丝带”的制冰工程竣工。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是北京冬奥会的冰及在制冰的原料和技术上的高标准，故Beneath Olympic Ice(奥运会冰的秘密)适合作本文的标题。故选B。
C
Are you good at interpreting other people’s emotions Then there’s a good chance that you’re also good at understanding what animals try to say.
A new Danish-Swiss study published in the open journal Royal Society Open Science indicates that empathetic (能共情的) people are also good at decoding (解读) animal sounds. Other factors also improve your chance of communicating with animals — you are more likely to be animal-empathetic if you also work with animals, and the ability seems to peak in those aged 20-29 years old, according to the scientists.
“Our results show that, based on animal sounds, people are able to tell whether an animal is agitated (焦虑不安的) or not and whether the animal expresses positive or negative emotions,” says behavioural biologist Elodie Briefer from the University of Copenhagen’s Faculty of Science. “This is true in connection with a number of different mammals. We can also see that our ability to interpret the sounds depends on factors such as age, first-hand knowledge of animals, and not least how empathetic we are towards other people.”
The study was based on answers from 1024 people across 48 countries. They were introduced to sounds from six mammals: goats, cattle, domesticated horses, Asian wild horses, pigs, and wild boars. The sounds from the six animals were played to the study’s respondents together with sounds of human nonsense (胡言乱语) produced by actors. Afterwards, the participants had to guess whether the sounds expressed a high or low level of agitation, and if the emotions were positive or negative. Following the test, the participants were asked to take an empathy test that measured their empathy towards human beings. “It is a convincing test which measures empathy towards other people,” Elodie Briefer explains. “And we saw a clear connection with the ability to interpret animal sounds.”
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A. By stating opinions. B. By quoting a saying.
C. By giving an example. D. By asking a question.
29. Who might be best at understanding animal emotions based on the study
A. A 15-year-old hard-working student. B. A 25-year-old caring animal raiser.
C. A29-year-old experienced hunter. D. A 30-year-old friendly teacher.
30. What does Elodie Briefer think of the test involved
A. Doubtful. B. Reliable. C. Ineffective. D. Disappointing.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Human empathy extends to animals B. Emotion interpretation helps animals
C. Sound interpretation depends on ages D. Emotion expression protects animals
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明有同理心的人也擅长解码动物的声音。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Are you good at interpreting other people’s emotions Then there’s a good chance that you’re also good at understanding what animals try to say.(你善于解读别人的情绪吗 那么很有可能你也很擅长理解动物想说什么。)”接下来第二段讲述文章的主题“A new Danish-Swiss study published in the open journal Royal Society Open Science indicates that empathetic (能共情的) people are also good at decoding (解读) animal sounds.(发表在开放期刊《皇家学会开放科学》上的一项丹麦——瑞士联合研究表明，有同理心的人也擅长解码动物的声音。)”可知，作者通过提问来引出文章的主题。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Other factors also improve your chance of communicating with animals — you are more likely to be animal-empathetic if you also work with animals, and the ability seems to peak in those aged 20-29 years old, according to the scientists.(其他因素也会增加你与动物交流的机会——如果你也和动物一起工作，你更有可能具有动物同理心，而且这种能力似乎在20-29岁的人身上达到顶峰。)”可知，一个25岁的有爱心的动物饲养员可能最能理解动物的情绪。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It is a convincing test which measures empathy towards other people,” Elodie Briefer explains. “And we saw a clear connection with the ability to interpret animal sounds.”(Elodie Briefer解释说：“这是一个令人信服的测试，可以衡量对他人的同理心。”“我们发现这与解释动物声音的能力有明显的联系。”)”可知，Elodie Briefer认为测试是可靠的。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章主题段第二段“A new Danish-Swiss study published in the open journal Royal Society Open Science indicates that empathetic (能共情的) people are also good at decoding (解读) animal sounds. (发表在开放期刊《皇家学会开放科学》上的一项丹麦-瑞士联合研究表明，有同理心的人也擅长解码动物的声音)”可知，文章主要讲述的是有同理心的人也擅长解码动物的声音，A项：Human empathy extends to animals(人类的同理心也延伸到了动物身上)合乎题意。故选A。

Soaring to 29, 035 feet, the famous Mount Everest had long been considered unclimbable due to the freezing weather, the obvious potential fall from cliffs and the effects of the extreme high altitude, often called “mountain sickness.” But that was to be changed by Edmund Hillary.
When he was invited to join the British Everest expedition in 1953, Edmund Hillary was a highly capable climber. The glacier-covered peaks in his hometown in New Zealand proved a perfect training ground for the Himalaya. It was his fourth Himalayan expedition in just over two years and he was at the peak of fitness.
On May 28, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, an experienced Sherpa (夏尔巴人) set out and reached the South Summit by 9 a. m. next day. But after that, the ridge (山脊) slightly fell before rising suddenly in a rocky spur (尖坡) about 17 meters high just before the true summit. The formation is difficult to climb due to its extreme pitch because a mistake would be deadly. Scratching at the snow with his ax, Hillary managed to overcome this enormous obstacle, later to be known as the Hillary Step.
At 11:30 a. m, the two men found themselves standing at the top of the world. “Not until we were about 50 feet of the top was I ever completely convinced that we were actually going to reach the summit.” Hillary later recounted, “Of course I was very, very pleased to be on the summit, but my first thought was a little bit of surprise. After all, this is the ambition of all mountaineers.”
Emerging as the first to summit Mount Everest, Hillary Hillary continued by helping explore Antarctica, and establishing the Himalayan Trust (信托基金), through which he provided a number of beneficial services to the Himalayan peoples. He also a sizeable legacy that mountain climbers have chased ever since. As a young climber said, “It was not just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit of Mount Everest. It was all of humanity. Suddenly, all of us could go.”
32. What made Edmund Hillary a capable climber on the 1953 expedition
A. His undisputed reputation. B. His remarkable physical condition.
C. His previous training on Mount Everest. D. His exceptional ability to adapt to the cold.
33. What does the Hillary Step refer to
A. A mistake Hillary avoided making. B. A steep spur of rock Hillary conquered.
C. An ax Hillary used to scratch snow. D. A sudden fall of a ridge Hillary skipped.
34. What was Hillary’s initial feeling upon reaching the summit of Mount Everest
A. Overwhelming joy. B. Enormous pride.
C. Complete disbelief. D. A touch of astonishment.
35. What was the impact of Hillary’s achievement on mountaineering
A. It opens up possibilities for other climbers.
B. It enabled him to give back to his hometown.
C. It left financial benefits for climbers to pursue.
D. It led to friendly regulations for mountaineering.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了登山者Edmund Hillary攀登珠峰的尝试以及他对后人的影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It was his fourth Himalayan expedition in just over two years and he was at the peak of fitness.(这是他在两年多的时间里第四次去喜马拉雅探险，他正处于健康的巅峰)”可知，是卓越的身体状况让埃德蒙·希拉里在1953年的探险中成为一名有能力的登山者。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But after that, the ridge slightly fell before rising suddenly in a rocky spur about 17 meters high just before the true summit. The formation is difficult to climb due to its extreme pitch because a mistake would be deadly. Scratching at the snow with his ax, Hillary managed to overcome this enormous obstacle, later to be known as the Hillary Step.(但在那之后，山脊略有下降，然后在真正的顶峰前突然上升，形成一个约17米高的岩石尖坡。由于坡度太大，这个阵型很难攀爬，因为一个错误将是致命的。希拉里用斧头刨雪，克服了这个巨大的障碍，后来被称为“希拉里台阶”)”可知，“希拉里台阶”指的是希拉里征服了一处陡峭的岩尖。故选B。
【34题详解】

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了重庆的单轨地铁。
【61题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：大型重型车辆不能爬上陡峭的山坡，在两条钢轨上运行——无论是被称作 railway 还是 railroad，都是我们熟悉的概念。根据句意“无论是被称作railway还是railroad，都是我们熟悉的概念”可知，本句使用固定搭配whether…or…。故填whether。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：然而，这里有一条最不寻常铁路，为了到达其他火车不能行驶的地方而打破规则：中国重庆单轨铁路。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词the most unusual railways，先行词被最高级修饰，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词that。故填that。
【63题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：单轨列车已经存在了一个多世纪，但它们从未完全实现那些早期提倡者的未来主义承诺。结合句意可知，前后两句为转折关系，用连词but连接。故填but。
【64题详解】
考查名词复数。句意同上。promoter是可数名词，结合句意，单轨早期的提倡者应为复数概念。故填promoters。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意：也就是说，重庆单轨铁路是一个特殊的例子，单轨铁路提供的独特品质非常适合他们的环境。修饰名词example需使用形容词作定语。故填exceptional。
【66题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国重庆拥有世界上最长的单轨铁路系统，两条总长61英里的高容量铁路线每年运送数百万乘客。分析句子结构可知，设空处开始的短语作定语，修饰名词，total“总计”与lines之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词形式。故填 total(l)ing。
【67题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意：3号线全长34英里多一点，也是世界上最长的单轨铁路，年客流量约为2.5亿人次。结合上下文语境可知，此处指“世界上最长的单轨线”，需使用名词所有格修饰monorail line。故填world’s。
【68题详解】
考查名词。句意：这两条线路于2005年至2016年投入运营，共有70个车站，包括地下和高架部分。介词into后需使用名词作宾语，operation是不可数名词。故填operation。
【69题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：由于海拔高度差异极大，重庆当局在需要改造公共交通系统时，被迫寻求替代传统火车的交通工具，单轨铁路在陡坡和急转弯方面的能力使其成为理想的解决方案。分析句子结构可知，设空处为本句谓语动词。时间状语从句中谓语动词使用了一般过去时，主语authorities与动词force之间构成被动关系，且为复数形式，可知应使用一般过去时态的被动语态，be动词用were。故填 were forced。
【70题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。ability后常常使用动词不定式作定语。故填to negotiate。

Snow is beautiful and makes everything looks new and bright. But snow isn’t always fun. In snowy countries, people usually wake up early to remove snow, what can be very heavy when the snow is wet. Traveling in the snow can also be difficult. Snow and ice make roads dangerously. Workers have to put salts on roads. The salt melts the snow, so the roads are safe. Snowstorms can cause problems, either. Storms bring strong winds and cold weather. They can bring lots of snow, too-sometimes more than a foot on snow! At the times, houses don’t have water and electricity. During storms it is unsafe go to work or school. Roads, businesses and schools are closing. Then students can enjoy a snow day.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了雪使一切看起来崭新而明亮，但下雪并不总是有趣。
【详解】1.考查不定式。句意：雪是美丽的，使一切看起来崭新而明亮。make+sb/sth+省略to的动词不定式表示“使某人/某物做某事”，不定式后的动词应为动词原形，并省略to，故将looks改为look。
2.考查定语从句。句意：在多雪的国家，人们通常会早起除雪，当雪湿时，积雪可能非常大。分析句子结构可知，此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词为people usually wake up early to remove snow，故将what改为which。
3.考查形容词。句意：冰雪使道路变得危险。分析句子可知此处应为形容词修饰roads，故将dangerously改为dangerous。
4.考查名词。句意：工人不得不在道路上撒盐。salt为不可数名词，故将salts改为salt。
5.考查副词。句意：暴风雪也会引起问题。either用于否定句中，表示“两者之一”，too场用于句末，之前用逗号，表示“也”，故将either改为too。
6.考查介词。句意：它们会带来很多雪，有时甚至超过一英尺的雪！a foot of表示“一英尺”，故将on改为of。
7.考查冠词。句意：有时，房屋没有水或电。at times表示“有时”，at the times表示“当时”，结合句意可知此处表示“有时”，故删除the。
8.考查连词。句意：有时，房屋没有水或电。在否定句中并列连词用or，故将and改为or。
9.考查不定式。句意：在暴风雨期间，上班或上学是不安全。it’s+adj+to do sth表示“做某事是……的”，故在go前加to。
10.考查被动语态。句意：道路、企业和学校被关闭。Roads, businesses and schools与close之间为被动关系，故将closing改为closed。
