11、些合法使用之前签证的人，在本国经济状况良好，并打算在申根签证之前离开该地区的人现在将有机会多次入境，获得长达五年的签证。可以看出，这些新规对于频繁去申根地区的人更加支持了，故选C项。【点睛】细节理解题主要考查考生对某句话或某几句话的理解，同学们若能根据题干内容从原文中找到相关的句子，然后进行比较和分析，便可确定最佳答案。多数情况下，作者不会明确的呈现一个事实，读者需要根据已有的信息进行处理，读出言外之意。还要特别注意文章的时间顺序、故事发生的地点、情节的发展和人物之间的关系。例如，第2题，细节理解题。根据“The application process has been greatly sim

In case you havent noticed, all living thing
13、s follow very definite, individual rhythms, all as regular as a clock, but what makes them regular?Though many scientists maintain that these rhythms are the result of some outside force like gravity or radiation or both, the results of most scientific researches agree with other scientists who beli
14、eve that each living thing has its own built-in biological “time clock.”Take the mystery of migration for example. Scientists cant really explain why many species of birds migrate in the autumn even though the temperature is still summery. The birds just seem to snub the comfortable weather that the
15、y are having. When a certain time comes, they travel south by the thousand. In spring time, they migrate northwards when though there probably is snow still covering the ground when they finally arrive. Something said “go”, and they did.Animals that hibernate are obeying individual time clock, too.
16、When their clock indicates the time to take a winters nap, they do, and nothing can stop them. At a certain time in the spring, they wake up and come out regardless of the weather outside.Plants appear to have yearly rhythms, such as the sprouting(发芽)of seeds, and they also have daily rhythms. Notic
17、e sometimes that plants raise their leaves in daylight and lower them at night.If you live along the California coast, you can easily observe a demonstration of this mysterious clock functioning regularly. There, from February to September, the highest tides occur exactly every fourteen and four-fif
18、ths days, and during these high tides, but at no other time, small silvery fish called grunions surf-ride a wave to the beach. There the female deposits her eggs in the sand and the male, fertilize them; then both hitch a wave-ride back to the sea. Exactly fourteen and four-fifths days later, never
19、before or after, the tiny eggs hatch, and the high tide carries the new habits out to sea.4. According to the passage the mysterious rhythms result from _.A. the influence of gravity on living speciesB. the effect of radiation on living speciesC. the influence of a mysterious outer force on living s
20、peciesD. the internal mechanism inside the living species5. The underlined word “snub” in the third paragraph probably means _.A. fightB. ignoreC. symbolizeD. criticize6. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Hibernating animals are obeying an internal time clock.B. The positioning of the
21、 leaves of some plants is due to the daily rhythms.C. The internal clock functioning is demonstrated in the reproducing habits of grunions.D. The yearly hibernation is more because of the weather influence than the biological functioning.7. The passage is mainly about _.A. the rhythms of lifeB. the
22、reasons of mysterious hibermationC. strange behaviors of speciesD. the timing for different events in the world of species【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。主要讨论的是地球上生命的节奏，不同的物种有不同的生长规律，有不同的生活节奏，其实是由于其体内的内在机制所决定的。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据Though many scientists maintain that these rhythms are the result of s
23、ome outside force like gravity or radiation or both，the results of most scientific researches agree with other scientists who believe that each living thing has its own built-in biological “time clock.(虽然许多科学家认为这些节奏是重力或辐射等外力的结果，或者两者兼而有之，但大多数科学研究的结果与其他科学家一致，他们认为每个生物都有自己内置的生物“时间钟。”)可知，生物身上的节奏是由于其体内的生物
24、机制所决定的，故答案为D。【5题详解】词句猜测题。根据上文Scientists cant really explain why many species of birds migrate in the autumn even though the temperature is still summery.(科学家无法真正解释为什么许多鸟类在秋天迁徙，即使温度仍然是夏季。)可推断划线句The birds just seem to snub the comfortable weather that they are having句意：鸟儿似乎在忽视它们所拥有的舒适的天气。结合下文When a ce
25、rtain time comes, they travel south by the thousand. ( 当某一时刻到来时，它们大批大批地向南旅行。)可知，候鸟不管天气如何，只要到了某个时间就会迁徙，因此推断划线词词义为“忽视”，与ignore意思相近。故答案为B。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段Animals that hibernate(冬眠)are obeying individual time clocks，tooWhen their clock indicates the time to take a winters nap，they do，and nothing can st
26、op themAt a certain time in the spring，they wake up and come out regardless of the weather outside(冬眠的动物也遵守各自的时钟。当它们的时钟指示了一个冬天小睡的时间时，它们就会睡觉，没有什么能阻止它们。在春天的某个时候，它们醒来了，不管外面的天气如何，站起来出来。)可知，动物冬眠主要不是根据天气，而是根据内在的生物钟，故D项“每年的冬眠更多是因为天气的影响，而不是生物的功能。”错误。故答案为D。【7题详解】主旨大意题。纵观全文特别是第二段的the results of most scientifi
27、c researches agree with other scientists who believe that each living thing has its own built-in biological “time clock.”(大多数科学研究结果与其他科学家一致，它们认为每个生物都有自己内置的生物“时间钟。”)，可知，本文主要讨论的是地球上生命的节奏，不同的物种有不同的生长规律，有不同的生活节奏，其实是由于其体内的内在机制所决定的，故答案为A。CIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competiti

Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their selfworth rel
29、ied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often lifeanddeath affairs. In their singleminded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, other

Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often
31、 observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried
32、and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both ar
33、e afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.8. What does this passage mainly talk about?A.

34、s harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.9. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who r
35、ely on others most for success10. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”？A. Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others.B.

Winning should be a lifeanddeath matter.D. Competition should be encouraged.【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。短文主要论述
37、了对于竞争人们的不同观点。有些人支持竞争，他们觉得这样可以使社会进步；有些人反对竞争，他们觉得竞争给人与人之间带来不友好。作者建议我们正确理解竞争的意义。【8题详解】主旨大意题。由第一段“Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationsh
38、ip between people”可知，一些支持竞争的人认为，竞争对社会进步是有帮助的，推进社会的向前发展和繁荣。反对竞争的人认为，竞争会挑起人们之间的斗争，给人们之间带来不友好。所以这篇文章主要讲了人们对竞争的看法各不相同。故选B项。【9题详解】词句猜测题。由第三段“However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to t
39、he ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society”可知，然而，当一些人似乎迷失在成功的欲望中，另一些人持相反的态度。在一个只重视赢家而不关注普通参与者的文化中，他们强烈谴责竞争。其中最强烈反对竞争的人是那些承受着来自父母或社会竞争压力的年轻人。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，第3段中带下划线的短语the most v
40、ocal是指最强烈反对竞争的人。故选C项。【10题详解】细节理解题。由最后段“Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others”可知，两者都是基于错误的信念，即一个人的自尊取决于一个人与他人相比的表现。所以真正的竞争者和那些“渴望失败”的人有相似的信念既一个人的价值在于与别人相比的表现。故选A项。【11题详解】推理判断题。由最后段“Only as this basic and often troublesome
41、 fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.”可知，只有当这种基本的、令人烦恼的恐惧消失时，我们才能在竞争中发现新的意义。所以通过关键词“ fear begins to dissolve，discover a new meaning”可以判断出，作者在对比了两种对于竞争的不同态度之后，作者认为在竞争中应该消除对失败的恐惧。故选B项。【点睛】抓住特定信息进行逆向或者正向推理。做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息，即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断，利用逆向思维或正面推理，从而推断出这句话所隐含的
42、深层含义。由最后段“Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.”可知，只有当这种基本的、令人烦恼的恐惧消失时，我们才能在竞争中发现新的意义。所以通过关键词“ fear begins to dissolve，discover a new meaning”可以判断出，作者在对比了两种对于竞争的不同态度之后，作者认为在竞争中应该消除对失败的恐惧。故小题4选B项。DHartley got to Gentral Slalion
43、nearly an hour before his train was due to leave. A lifetime in the theatre had given him a healthy indeed excessive (过分的) sense of punctuality; a lifetime of unwanted cups of coffee, constant checking of the time, yet another turn around the block before that all too often pointless, tiresome audit
44、ion (试镜).Hartley was 75 pretty fit for his age, legs holding lip, memory still ticking over nicely though the occasions for punctuality were now rather fewer. But he was a creature of habit and couldnt change now.He repaired to the restaurant purchased a coffee and a blueberry muffin, tired and fail
45、ed to find a litter-free table. The coffee was awful, the muffin was stale but the coffee was always awful, the muffin always stale. Hartley refused to let himself be annoyed.

Having satisfactorily disposed of the sad state of the railways, country versus city living, his neighbour asked Hartley what he didor had donefor a living.H
49、artley hated telling people he was an actor. He was not ashamed of his job. Not in the least but he had long tired of reactions ranging from “what have I seen you in” to “how do you learn all those lines”.So in situations like this he simply selected an occupation from a former role.

56、了一个电影导演，互相演戏，隐藏了自己的真实职业，最终错失了一个机会。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第十一段“So in situations like this he simply selected an occupation from a former role. Bit risky, of course. You say youre a doctor and find yourself meeting the quizzical (疑问的) gaze of a heart surgeon.”以及“It amused him, and hed given some damn good per
57、formances too.”可知，每当遇到这样的情况，他会选择之前的一个角色作为回答。这么做是有风险的，比如你说你是一个医生，但是会遇到一个心脏外科医生怀疑的目光。但是，这也让他觉得很有趣，他也呈现了很好的表演，故选B。【13题详解】词句猜测题。根据上文“Im a lawyer”, he replied. “Retired several years ago. Property law. Bit of criminal stuff.”以及下文“Yes, Id have said you were an actor. The voice especially. Still, lawyers a
58、re actors in a way, dont you think? Plenty of drama in a courtroom”.”可知，哈特利告诉他是一个律师，但是他认为他是一个演员，尤其是声音。由此推知，划线部分的意思是他认为哈特利从事不同的职业，故选C。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Im a film director. Casting a feature at the moment. You study faces. On the train. Everywhere. Always on the lookout. Anyway, enjoyed our chat. By
59、e.” 可知，我是一名电影导演。此刻投出一个特写。你在研究面孔。在火车上。到处都是。一直在寻找。无论如何，享受我们的聊天，再见。由此推知，在故事结尾处使用“再见”这个词证实了哈特利尽管他有表演技巧仍然缺乏运气。故选C。【15题详解】主旨大意题。阅读全文，根据文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了哈特利在火车上碰到了一个电影导演，互相演戏，隐藏了自己的真实职业，最终错失了一个机会。由此可知，Acting up(运作不正常；出毛病)适合做本文最佳标题。故选A。二、七选五Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame

66、leep can help.（一个更好的睡眠计划会有所帮助）”中“A better plan for sleep”正是调整生物钟的关键，另外下一句“Heres how to make one.”中代词“one”也指代了“A better plan for sleep”。故选F项。【17题详解】设空处为段首中心句。根据下文“In order to make a change, you need to decide why its important. (为了做出改变，你需要想清楚它为什么重要)”和“Once you are clear about your reason, tell your f
67、amily or roommates about the change you want to make. (一旦你清楚了原因，告诉你的家人或室友你想要做出的改变)”可知，本段讲在做出改变与调整前，要先弄清楚原因，也就是动机。E项“Find the right motivation. (找到正确的动机)”中motivation与下文中“why its important”和reason相照应。故选E项。【18题详解】根据段首中心句“Rethink mornings. (重新思考早晨)”可知本段主要讲重新思考早晨和重新规划早晨活动。A项“Reconsidering the 15 minutes
68、you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee. (重新考虑一下你在咖啡馆等咖啡15分钟)”与其下文“Thats a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer. (如果你买了一个带定时器的咖啡机，你可以多睡一刻钟)”提出了一种通过利用定时咖啡机来增加早晨睡眠时间的方法，是对中心句的呼应，且A项中Reconsidering与中心句Rethink相照应，15 minutes与下文a quarter-hour相应照应。故选A项。【19题详解
69、】设空处为段首中心句。根据下文“But compensation on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.（但最近的一项研究发现，周末的睡眠补偿实际上会让你在接下来的一周嗜睡。无论哪一天，都要坚持固定的睡觉时间和起床时间）”可知，本段在强调不论什么时候都要坚持固定的睡眠习惯，周末也不例外。故选C项。【20题详解】根据下文“If
70、 not, take another look at other methods you could try.(如果没有，再看看你可以尝试的其他方法)”中省略的条件状语从句If not可知，上文空格处需要明确省略的具体条件。B选项“If the steps you take are working, keep it up.(如果你所采取的措施是有效的，那就坚持下去)”明确了条件是“措施是否有效”，并与下文形成一正一反的对比关系。故选B项。三、完形填空Its about 250 miles from the hills of west-central Iowa to Ehlers home in

97、目惊心的食物浪费现状，联合国环境规划署的2021年食物浪费指数报告分析了食物浪费带来的危害和原因，并希望通这一报告引起国家与个人对这一现象的重视，【36题详解】考查介词和固定短语。句意：那相当于有9.31亿公吨的食品被从家庭、商店和食品公司扔掉。动词短语amount to(总计，相当于)为固定短语，在句中作谓语。故填to。【37题详解】考查定语从句。句意：这种情况也发生在贫穷国家，那里的食物供应如果没有冷藏可能会变坏。分析句子结构可知，空格处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词poor countries，再分析定语从句结构可知，关系词将先行词poor countries代入定语从句中作地点状语，表
98、示“在这些贫穷国家”，所以应使用在定语从句中作状语的关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。【38题详解】考查代词。句意：它希望这份报告能向各国展示一些问题，以便其政府能够设法解决这些问题。根据句意可知，政府需要设法解决的是前文提到的“some of the problems(一些问题)”，复数概念,且空格处是动词fix后的宾语，所以应使用第三人称复数代词的宾格形式。故填them。【39题详解】考查名词。句意：她说：“减少食物浪费将减少温室气体排放，减缓土地转换和污染对自然的破坏。”。根据空格前冠词the和空格后作定语的介词短语of nature可知，空格处应填入名词，作动词slow的宾
99、语。故填destruction。【40题详解】考查副词。句意：此外，减少浪费将减少在冠状病毒大流行期间预计会增加的饥饿人群。根据空格前上文“Reducing food waste would cut greenhouse gas emissions, slow the _4_(destroy) of nature through land conversion and pollution.( 减少食物浪费将减少温室气体排放，减缓土地转换和污染对自然的破坏)”和下文“cutting waste will reduce hunger that is expected to rise during
100、the corona-virus pandemic.(减少浪费将减少在冠状病毒大流行期间预计会增加的饥饿人群)”句意可知，前后句是并列关系，且空格处用逗号与主句隔开，所以应填入表示并列关系的连接副词。故填Additionally。【41题详解】考查形容词。句意：研究人员说，由于生产食物、饲养动物和种植作物需要大量土地和能源，食物浪费问题越来越令人担忧。设空处在冠词与名词之间，应填入形容词作定语修饰名词concern，形容词growing表示“不断增加的，不断增强的”，符合句意。故填growing。【42题详解】考查谓语动词形式。句意：如果减少食物浪费，就有可能减少其生产对世界的影响。分析句子结
101、构可知，空格处是条件状语从句中谓语动词，动词reduce（减少）与主语food waste之间有被动关系，再根据上下文可知应使用一般现在时态，所以应填入一般现在时的被动语态，又因主语food waste是一种行为，应视为第三人称单数。故填is reduced。【43题详解】考查连词。句意：当人们买了太多的食物，他们并不总是在变质之前使用它。分析句子结构可知，空格处应填入连词连接前后分句，结合句意可知“they do not always use it”发生在“it goes bad”之前，所以用并列连词before。故填before。【44题详解】考查非谓语动词和固定句型。句意：此外，食物容器
102、上的文字可能很难理解。“主语+ be + adj. + to do”为固定句型,该句型中形容词表明主语的特征或性质，句中动词不定式与主语之间存在动宾关系。本句中hard表明主语the writing on food containers的特征，understand与主语the writing on food containers有动宾关系，适用该固定句型。故填to understand。【45题详解】考查副词。句意：现在人们有了更多的钱，他们就不那么关心了。本句是省略句，完整句子是：they are not as concerned as before。句中第一个as是副词，用于比较，表示“像
103、一样，如同”，修饰其后形容词concerned。故填as。五、写作第一节46. 假定你是李华，你的美国朋友Tom对中国文化有浓厚的兴趣。恰好你校今年暑假将为外国学生举办一场汉语夏令营活动（Chinese Summer Camp)，请你给她发一份邮件，邀请他参加活动。内容包括：1. 时间和地点；2. 活动内容：学习日常汉语、了解中国历史和传统文化、参观博物馆等；3. 报名方式和截止日期。注意：1. 词数100左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear Tom,_Yours,Li Hua【答案】Dear Tom，Here comes a piece of good news.
