Zibo city in Shandong has unexpectedly become famous on Chinese social media since late February for its local barbecue specialty, and this trend continues as the local government takes the opportunity to promote tourism and spending.
The latest promotion gives visitors free admission to 10 scenic spots in the city with their train tickets as long as their final destination is Zibo. This move followed another on March 31 under which the Jinan bureau of China Railway added a weekend special round-trip “barbecue tour” train between Jinan.
Passengers who get on the train are greeted by a banner reading “Welcome to the Special BBQ Train”at the entrance of the train. Many also took videos and posted them on social media, drawing more visitors.
Barbecue is popular in China, and Zibo’s barbecue has its own local features: it’s made on a stove, and is served with flatbread and dressings. The food is 70-80 percent cooked before it is brought to the table, where diners can finish cooking it on their own stoves. Diners are served with flatbreads, scallions and other dressings at the table so they are able to assemble their own barbecue parcels, in much the same way Peking Duck is eaten.
The barbecue suddenly became famous after a group of college students shot videos of themselves enjoying a meal in Zibo and posted them on social media in late February. Since then, many people, mostly young, have come to the city from all over the country to try the dish.
On several streets, lines can be seen outside barbecue restaurants, which stretch for more than 100 meters on the weekend.
“Zibo barbecue is bringing more and more people to the city, and the local government needs to think about how to promote the city as a whole, its culture and tourism, as well as its living and business environment,” said Sun Xiaorong, an expert of tourism marketing and promotion. The trend will eventually end if the local government doesn’t take proper follow-up measures, he added.
4. What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about
A. Zibo city’s snacks.
B. Zibo city’s places of interest.
C. The reasons why Zibo is famous recently.
D. The challenges Zibo meets with at present.
5. What can we know about Zibo’s barbecue from paragraph 4
A. It is usually paired with flatbread and dressings.
B. It is as delicious as Peking Duck.
C. It is totally toasted by the cook on the stove.
D. It is very cheap and various.
6. What made Zibo’s barbecue suddenly well-known

Diners are served with flatbreads, scallions and other dressings at the table so they are able to assemble their own barbecue parcels, in much the same way Peking Duck is eaten.”（烧烤在中国很受欢迎，淄博的烧烤有自己的地方特色：在炉子上烤，配上面饼和调料。在上桌之前，食物已经煮了70- 80%，食客可以在自己的炉子上完成烹饪。食客们可以在餐桌上享用大饼、葱花和其他调味料，这样他们就可以自己组装烧烤包，这与吃北京烤鸭的方式大致相同）可知，从第4段我们可以知道淄博烧烤通常与面饼和调味品搭配。故选A项。

Scientists are excited by the rediscovery of the giant lacewing. It is an insect which looks like a cross between a fly and a moth. It has spotted wings with a span of roughly 50 millimeters, holding the wings over its body like a tent.
Giant lacewings have been around since the Jurassic era, a period of time about 150 to 200 million years ago. In the 1950s, scientists thought giant lacewings had disappeared from eastern North America. However, scientists recently confirmed that one had been spotted.
Michael Skvarla works for Penn State University, who is the director of its insect identification lab. Skvarla found the giant lacewing in 2012. He remembers it clearly, “I was walking into Walmart to get milk and I saw this huge insect on the side of the building,” Skvarla said. “I thought it looked interesting, so I put it in my hand and did the rest of my shopping with it between my fingers. I got home, mounted it and promptly forgot about it for almost a decade.”
Then, in late 2020, Skvarla was teaching biodiversity in a Zoom class during the pandemic lockdown. During the class, Skvarla showed his students microscopic images of the insect he had seen at Walmart. Together, they stared at the images. They studied the insect closely. Then, they realized that the insect had been wrongly labeled. Many scientists are stirred by this discovery. Now they have started wondering if there may be entire populations hiding out, which requires for further investigation.
And the causes of the supposed disappearance of the insect have long been a mystery. With a deeper research, there are some possible explanations. One is light pollution, which is the brightening of the night sky from man-made light sources such as street lights. Light pollution can disrupt the natural cycles of living things. Another cause could be the introduction of non-native insects such as ground beetles. They can cause harm to the environment. Ground beetles prey on giant lacewings. People’s stopping forest fires may also play a part in the disappearance of the lacewing. This is because giant lacewings need ecosystems that rely on natural fires.
8. What can we know about the appearance of the giant lacewing
A. It looks like a mix of a fly and a moth.
B. Its body length is about 50 millimeters.
C. Its wings are tiny and rough.
D. Its body shape is like a tent.
9. Which of the following correctly describes the process of the rediscovery
A. The researcher accurately recognized it at first sight.
B. It was spotted at Walmart during the pandemic.
C It had been incorrectly labeled initially.
D. Researchers closely studied the insect for nearly a decade.
10. Why did the giant lacewing disappear according to Paragraph 5
A. The lengthening of natural sunlight time.
B. The increase in the number of native attackers.
C. The frequent occurrence of forest fires.
D. The biological rhythms were messed up by man-made light.
11. Where is the passage most probably taken from
A. A biology magazine. B. A science fiction.
C. A research plan. D. A medical report.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】

D
The fact that touch can be highly influential in successful sales has led researchers to call the phenomenon the Midas Touch, named after King Midas in Greek mythology (神话) who was said to turn everything he touched into gold.
While touching a product is clearly not going to make it golden, it can make the person connect so strongly with the item that they take psychological ownership of it. This means that the consumer is much more likely to purchase it as they feel as if it already belongs to them. Partially, this will be caused by the emotions that they experience when they engage in interaction, as there is a close relationship in our brains between touch and emotions.
In a world where online shopping is almost unavoidable, and people can’t touch what they buy, it begs the question of how touch can work in consuming.
The reality is that many consumers have a high need for touch, and when they can’t touch, they become upset and often feel dissatisfied. This will, at least partially, contribute to the high online return rates, as people don’t feel satisfied with the products when they arrive.
Presenting shoppers (直播带货者) with visually-based concrete signs can help overcome the lack of touch. For example, if the goods are clearly described, it helps the purchaser know the product more accurately. However, such descriptions only work if they are specific.
Furthermore, using moving imagery, such as a brief film of a model moving around in a clothing item, also helps with touch-related visualization (形象化) as it becomes a mental understanding of touch. Actual textures (质地) of products can also help provide signs for what the products are like.
In fact, it appears that concrete input is primarily processed subconsciously, meaning that it is not something you can necessarily ask consumers about, as they simply don’t know that it affects them. Thus, the examples mentioned here are the kind of research findings that online sellers should take note of. With some creative input, they can be used to create more satisfied customers when touch is absent.
12. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To inform people of a story. B. To introduce the subject.
C. To provide the background. D. To give a definition.
13. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Touching and consuming. B. The process of touching.
C. Brains and emotion. D. The problem of selling.
14. What causes the high online return rates
A. Products’ arriving late. B. Customers’ thinking little of products.
C. Products’ not meeting the requirements. D. Customers’ no describing products.
15. How can online buyers overcome the lack of touch
A. By knowing specific descriptions visually. B. By making brief films of moving models.
C. By making notes of the research findings. D. By asking consumers something necessary.
【答案】12 B 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章强调了触摸对成功的销售有很大的影响，这一事实使研究人员将这种现象称为“迈达斯之触”，触摸一件产品可以让人与这件产品产生强烈的联系，从而在心理上拥有它。这意味着消费者更有可能购买它。向购物者展示基于视觉的具体标志可以帮助顾客克服缺乏触觉的问题，从而提高网上购物的成功率。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The fact that touch can be highly influential in successful sales has led researchers to call the phenomenon the Midas Touch, named after King Midas in Greek mythology (神话) who was said to turn everything he touched into gold. (触摸对成功的销售有很大的影响，这一事实使研究人员将这种现象称为“迈达斯之触”，以希腊神话中的迈达斯国王命名，据说他能把他触摸到的一切都变成金子。)”可知，第一段的写作目的是介绍主题触摸影响销售的成功，故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“While touching a product is clearly not going to make it golden, it can make the person connect so strongly with the item that they take psychological ownership of it. This means that the consumer is much more likely to purchase it as they feel as if it already belongs to them Partially, this will be caused by the emotions that they experience when they engage in interaction, as there is a close relationship in our brains between touch and emotions. (虽然触摸一件产品显然不会让它变成黄金，但它可以让人与这件产品产生强烈的联系，从而在心理上拥有它。这意味着消费者更有可能购买它，因为他们觉得它已经属于他们了，这部分是由他们在互动时体验到的情感引起的，因为在我们的大脑中，触摸和情感之间存在着密切的关系。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了触摸和消费。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“This will, at least partially, contribute to the high online return rates, as people don’t feel satisfied with the products when they arrive. (这至少在一定程度上导致了高在线退货率，因为当人们到达时，他们对产品并不满意。)”可知，产品不符合要求导致在线退货率高，故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Furthermore, using moving imagery, such as a brief film of a model moving around in a clothing item, also helps with touch-related visualization (形象化) as it becomes a mental understanding of touch. Actual textures (质地) of products can also help provide signs for what the products are like. (此外，使用动态图像，比如一个模特穿着衣服四处走动的短片，也有助于与触摸相关的视觉化，因为它变成了一种对触摸的心理理解。产品的实际纹理也可以帮助提供产品外观的标志。)”可知，通过直观地了解具体的描述，网上买家克服缺乏接触，故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今的社会更加多样化，我们应该重视差异，尊重差异，对差异持开放态度，努力创造一个和平的世界。
【41题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意：如今，我们的教室、邻里和社区比以往任何时候都更加多样化。根据下文中的than可知，此处应该用much的比较级形式。故填more。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：来自不同国家和不同文化的人继续分布在世界各地。根据上文中的different可知，此处应该用country的复数形式。故填countries。
【43题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：不同的肤色、语言、身体能力和服装是我们每天经历的多样性的一些类型。分析句式结构可知，该句主语是多个名词构成的，故此处谓语动词应该用复数形式。故填are。
【44题详解】
考查词性转换。句意：正如玛雅·安杰洛所说：“在多样性中存在着美和力量。”分析句式结构可知，and在此处连接两个名词，故应该用strong的名词形式。故填strength。
45题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：这意味着尊重他人，向他人学习，重视我们的差异，发现我们的共同点。mean在此处意为“意味着”，故用动词-ing形式作宾语，构成固定搭配mean doing sth。故填valuing。
【46题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。此处用固定短语have......in common意为“在……有共同之处”符合语境。故填in。
【47题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：宽容的反义词是封闭思想。争论、打架和战争都是由于不时的封闭思想造成的。根据下文中的from time to time和主语和谓语之间的被动关系可知，此处应该用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are caused。
【48题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：相比之下，对差异持开放态度的人将创造一个更和平的世界，并在教育、工作或友谊方面拥有更好的生活机会。分析句式结构可知，此处是先行词为humans的定语从句，先行词指人且从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词who/that来引导定语从句。故填who/that。
【49题详解】
考查冠词。句意：所以拥有宽容会让我们的生活变得更好，让世界变得更美好。根据句意可知，此处应该用不定冠词a修饰名词place，表泛指。故填a。
【50题详解】

Jim is one of my close friend. Two months ago, his mother buy a computer for him as a birthday present. She hoped Jim will study hard under the help of the computer. To his surprise, Jim just wasted plenty of time play computer games every day. Now she regrets buying the computer. As matter of fact, a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs for us. It is wide used in factories, hospitals, banks and so on. Many computer scientists are now trying to make the computer to “think” like a man. In my opinion, the key is what we should use it wisely.
【答案】1. friend→friends
2. buy→bought
3. will→would
4. under→with
5. his→her
6. paly→playing
7.在As后加a
8. wide→widely
9.删除to
10. what→that
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了吉姆的妈妈给他买了一台电脑作为生日礼物，希望吉姆在电脑的帮助下努力学习，但是，令吉姆母亲吃惊的是，吉姆每天浪费大量的时间玩电脑游戏。文章最后指出我们要明智地使用电脑。
【详解】1.考查名词复数形式。句意：吉姆是我的好朋友之一。由“one of+复数名词”可知，此处friend应为名词复数形式。故将friend改为friends。
2.考查动词时态。句意：两个月前，他妈妈给他买了一台电脑作为生日礼物。由该句Two months ago可知，该句应为陈述过去发生的事情，此处动词buy应为一般过去式。故将buy改为bought。
3.考查动词时态。句意：她希望吉姆在电脑帮助下努力学习。由主句动词hoped可知，此处从句中的动词应为相应的过去时态，结合句意可知，应为过去将来时。故将will改为would。
4.考查介词。句意：她希望吉姆在电脑的帮助下努力学习。分析句子可知，此处应为固定短语with the help of“在……的帮助下”。故将under改为with。
5.考查代词。句意：令她吃惊的是，吉姆每天浪费大量的时间玩电脑游戏。根据上下句句意可知，此处应表示“令吉姆母亲吃惊的是”，所以此处为代词的偷换人称，his应为her。故将his改为her。
6.考查动名词。句意：令她吃惊的是，吉姆每天浪费大量的时间玩电脑游戏。分析句子可知，此处为动词短语waste time doing“浪费时间做某事”，所以此处为动名词形式。故将paly改为playing。
7.考查固定短语。句意：事实上，电脑可以为我们做很多日常工作。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语As a matter of fact“事实上”，所以此处As后接a。故在As后加a。
8.考查副词。句意：广泛应用于工厂、医院、银行等。由副词修饰动词可知，此处为副词widely作状语修饰动词is used。故将wide改为widely。
9.考查动词短语。句意：许多计算机科学家正试图使计算机像人一样“思考”。分析句子可知，此处为动词短语make sth do sth“使某物做某事”，所以此处为省略to的不定式结构。故将to删除。
10.考查表语从句。句意：在我看来，关键是我们应该明智地使用它。表语从句的基本成份和句意都完整，应用连接词that引导。故将what改为that。

Zibo city in Shandong has unexpectedly become famous on Chinese social media since late February for its local barbecue specialty, and this trend continues as the local government takes the opportunity to promote tourism and spending.
The latest promotion gives visitors free admission to 10 scenic spots in the city with their train tickets as long as their final destination is Zibo. This move followed another on March 31 under which the Jinan bureau of China Railway added a weekend special round-trip “barbecue tour” train between Jinan.
Passengers who get on the train are greeted by a banner reading “Welcome to the Special BBQ Train”at the entrance of the train. Many also took videos and posted them on social media, drawing more visitors.
Barbecue is popular in China, and Zibo’s barbecue has its own local features: it’s made on a stove, and is served with flatbread and dressings. The food is 70-80 percent cooked before it is brought to the table, where diners can finish cooking it on their own stoves. Diners are served with flatbreads, scallions and other dressings at the table so they are able to assemble their own barbecue parcels, in much the same way Peking Duck is eaten.
The barbecue suddenly became famous after a group of college students shot videos of themselves enjoying a meal in Zibo and posted them on social media in late February. Since then, many people, mostly young, have come to the city from all over the country to try the dish.
On several streets, lines can be seen outside barbecue restaurants, which stretch for more than 100 meters on the weekend.
“Zibo barbecue is bringing more and more people to the city, and the local government needs to think about how to promote the city as a whole, its culture and tourism, as well as its living and business environment,” said Sun Xiaorong, an expert of tourism marketing and promotion. The trend will eventually end if the local government doesn’t take proper follow-up measures, he added.
4. What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about

D. It is very cheap and various.
6. What made Zibo’s barbecue suddenly well-known

Scientists are excited by the rediscovery of the giant lacewing. It is an insect which looks like a cross between a fly and a moth. It has spotted wings with a span of roughly 50 millimeters, holding the wings over its body like a tent.
Giant lacewings have been around since the Jurassic era, a period of time about 150 to 200 million years ago. In the 1950s, scientists thought giant lacewings had disappeared from eastern North America. However, scientists recently confirmed that one had been spotted.
Michael Skvarla works for Penn State University, who is the director of its insect identification lab. Skvarla found the giant lacewing in 2012. He remembers it clearly, “I was walking into Walmart to get milk and I saw this huge insect on the side of the building,” Skvarla said. “I thought it looked interesting, so I put it in my hand and did the rest of my shopping with it between my fingers. I got home, mounted it and promptly forgot about it for almost a decade.”
Then, in late 2020, Skvarla was teaching biodiversity in a Zoom class during the pandemic lockdown. During the class, Skvarla showed his students microscopic images of the insect he had seen at Walmart. Together, they stared at the images. They studied the insect closely. Then, they realized that the insect had been wrongly labeled. Many scientists are stirred by this discovery. Now they have started wondering if there may be entire populations hiding out, which requires for further investigation.
And the causes of the supposed disappearance of the insect have long been a mystery. With a deeper research, there are some possible explanations. One is light pollution, which is the brightening of the night sky from man-made light sources such as street lights. Light pollution can disrupt the natural cycles of living things. Another cause could be the introduction of non-native insects such as ground beetles. They can cause harm to the environment. Ground beetles prey on giant lacewings. People’s stopping forest fires may also play a part in the disappearance of the lacewing. This is because giant lacewings need ecosystems that rely on natural fires.
8. What can we know about the appearance of the giant lacewing
A. It looks like a mix of a fly and a moth.
B. Its body length is about 50 millimeters.
C. Its wings are tiny and rough.
D. Its body shape is like a tent.
9. Which of the following correctly describes the process of the rediscovery
A. The researcher accurately recognized it at first sight.
B. It was spotted at Walmart during the pandemic.
C. It had been incorrectly labeled initially.
D. Researchers closely studied the insect for nearly a decade.
10. Why did the giant lacewing disappear according to Paragraph 5
A. The lengthening of natural sunlight time.
B. The increase in the number of native attackers.
C. The frequent occurrence of forest fires.
D. The biological rhythms were messed up by man-made light.
11. Where is the passage most probably taken from
A. A biology magazine. B. A science fiction.
C. A research plan. D. A medical report.
D
The fact that touch can be highly influential in successful sales has led researchers to call the phenomenon the Midas Touch, named after King Midas in Greek mythology (神话) who was said to turn everything he touched into gold.
While touching a product is clearly not going to make it golden it can make the person connect so strongly with the item that they take psychological ownership of it. This means that the consumer is much more likely to purchase it as they feel as if it already belongs to them. Partially, this will be caused by the emotions that they experience when they engage in interaction, as there is a close relationship in our brains between touch and emotions.
In a world where online shopping is almost unavoidable, and people can’t touch what they buy, it begs the question of how touch can work in consuming.
The reality is that many consumers have a high need for touch, and when they can’t touch, they become upset and often feel dissatisfied. This will, at least partially, contribute to the high online return rates, as people don’t feel satisfied with the products when they arrive.
Presenting shoppers (直播带货者) with visually-based concrete signs can help overcome the lack of touch. For example, if the goods are clearly described, it helps the purchaser know the product more accurately. However, such descriptions only work if they are specific.
Furthermore, using moving imagery, such as a brief film of a model moving around in a clothing item, also helps with touch-related visualization (形象化) as it becomes a mental understanding of touch. Actual textures (质地) of products can also help provide signs for what the products are like.
In fact it appears that concrete input is primarily processed subconsciously, meaning that it is not something you can necessarily ask consumers about, as they simply don’t know that it affects them. Thus, the examples mentioned here are the kind of research findings that online sellers should take note of. With some creative input, they can be used to create more satisfied customers when touch is absent.
12. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To inform people of a story. B. To introduce the subject.
C. To provide the background. D. To give a definition.
13. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Touching and consuming. B. The process of touching.
C. Brains and emotion. D. The problem of selling.
14. What causes the high online return rates
A. Products’ arriving late. B. Customers’ thinking little of products.
C. Products’ not meeting the requirements. D. Customers’ no describing products.
15. How can online buyers overcome the lack of touch
A. By knowing specific descriptions visually. B. By making brief films of moving models.
C. By making notes of the research findings. D. By asking consumers something necessary.
