This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cats quick thinking may have just saved her
17、babies. In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital holding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was fami
18、liar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens. The mother cat was concerned for her young because they werent able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were sufferi
19、ng from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, We consulted with vets（兽医）and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited. Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find
20、 loving forever homes. When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. Without the mother cat
21、s help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood. As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mothers love and protection knows no bounds. Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy. 24. Why did the mother cat show up in the

24、ugh the weather is very hot now, the carnival（狂欢节）of ice and snow is getting closer. The preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which are expected to begin on Feb 4, 2022, has entered its final stage. In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the Ice Ribbon, a landmark place for the Beiji
25、ng Winter Olympics, was completed. In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small-time gap, tiny fault in the ice can make a big difference. Its not just a hunk of ice like youd normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer, told Kenneth Golden, a US mathematician who
26、studies the structures of ice. Its a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally thinkThe first step for building any ice rink is to purify（进化） the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don it in the regular hexagonal（六边形的）structure of i
27、ce that forms as water freezes. The purer the water is, the more consistent（一致的）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 carbor dioxide (CO2)cool
28、ing 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（制冷剂） like Freon. With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into u
29、se again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesnt damage the ozone layer. Although CO, is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other man-made refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carb
30、on dioxide emissions greatly. We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to audience all over the world in a more impressive way, told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. 28. What is the result of impuri
31、ties in water for ice-making?A. The quality of the ice will be affected. B. The ice surface will be more consistent. C. The water isnt able to freeze completely. D. Its likely for athletes to fall on the ice. 29. Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games?A. Its the mos
32、t advanced technologies 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. 30. What is Gao Bos attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making?A. Unclear. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Favourab
33、le. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games. B. The Structure of Ice. C. Beneath Olympic Ice. D. The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming. DThe latest sports craze is not even a sport. According to a recent article, e-sportsare attrac
34、ting a large number of audience. In e-sports, players and teams compete in popular video computer games such as Dota 2 and Ovenvatch. Fans fill arenas to watch the action live on huge television screens. The games have gone way past kids playing against each other while sitting on a sofa at home. Th
35、e International, a major competition for players of Dota 2, awarded $24 million in prizes, with the winner taking home almost $11 million. A recent e-sports competition attracted more than 80, 000 fans to the Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China. I have to admit that I am not a big fan of computer game
36、s. I know that some games can be educational, but I think too many kids spend too much time sitting in front of a screen shooting space aliens. I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer. And please dont tell me that comp
37、etitive gaming is real sport because it requires hand-eye coordination. According to my American Heritage Dictionary, a sport is an activity involving physical effort and skill I dont think anyone works up much of a sweat playing video games. Too often, regular sports send kids a kind of message. Co
38、mpetition starts early, when lots of kids are not ready for the ups and downs of games. Tryouts and travel teams come next, giving too many kids the message they are not good at sports. So lots of kids quit sports and start playing more video games. Maybe everyone in youth sports, including coaches,
39、 parents and kids, should think more about the advantages of real sports. 32. What are e-sports according to the text?A. Sports events on television screens. B. Easy sports games for kids. C. Video computer game competitions. D. The latest sports in the Olympics. 33. What might the author think of e
40、-sports?A. They are not instructive. B. They should be banned in school. C. They need too much time and money. D. They have some negative influence on children. 34. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce a competition held in Beijing. B. To call on people to pay more attenti
41、on to traditional sports. C. To introduce a new kind of sport. D. To explain the importance of playing sports. 35. Where is this text most likely from?A. A magazine. B. A brochure. C. A novel. D. A guidebook.第二节 七选五（共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）根据短文内容, 从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Study session（一段时间）
42、with friends can be an excellent way to learn. If you make it a regular event (e. g, weekly), a study session can help you to fully understand difficult material, prepare for exams, and finally earn strong grades. By making careful choices when you are forming the group, you can be sure your study s
43、ession with friends will be successful. Teach one another. One of the most effective ways to learn is actually to teach other people. 36_ This greatly benefits both the teacher as well as the whole group. Take quizzes. Another great aspect of working with a group is the ability to quiz one another.
44、37_ This means quizzing one another orally. Or, different members can create quizzes for different parts and give them to the other members to take. Share notes. 38_ Try exchanging the notes that you each took in class. When you put all of that together, youll walk away with a much stronger understa
45、nding of the material. 39_Knowing what you dont understand and putting that into a question for your group is an excellent exercise. The attempt（尝试）to answer each others questions as a group is great for every member as well as the group. Create a routine. If you can make some kind of routine within
46、 your study session, you are likely to be more productive. 40 _ You may have to try out different methods with your group to see what works for you. A. It may take a little time. B. Answer each others questions. C. Three or four heads are better than one!D. Receive the challenge and give the answer.
47、 E. You can simply ask each other questions out loud. F. Time will tell that the first routine works well with your group. G. Try giving each member a different task and take turns teaching each other. 第三部分 语言运用（共五节, 满分 45分）第一节 完形填空（共15 小题;每小题1分, 满分 15 分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳
