is
fluent
in
more
than
four
languages
and
has
one
main
message
for
everyone
out
there,‘I
believe
through
learning
and
the
application
of
what
you
have
learned,you
can
solve
any
problem,overcome
any
barrier
and
achieve
any
goal
that
you
set
for
yourself.’”可知,在Tracy看来,通过学习和应用所学知识,可以解决任何问题,克服任何障碍并实现为自己设定的任何目标。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ3.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“siblings”meaninparagraph3?A.Classmatesorfriends.B.Brothersorsisters.C.Unclesoraunts.D.Neighborsorrelatives.√词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句前半部分“Tracy’s
parents’
marriage
ended
when
he
was
seven
years
old”及“had
to
live
with
the
two
different
households”
“With
his
father
mostly
absent,Tracy
and
his
siblings
were
largely
raised
by
his
mother.”可知,因为Tracy的父母离异,父亲大部分时间不在家,致使Tracy多数时间是由妈妈抚养,因而他和他的兄弟姐妹就住在母亲的家庭中。所以画线词此处指“兄弟或姐妹”。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ4.WhatisthemostbeneficialtoTracy’sdevelopment?A.Thegoodeducation.B.Thewidereading.C.Themother’ssupport.D.Thetoughchildhood.√细节理解题。根据最后一段的“His
early
childhood
experiences
helped
shape
his
beliefs
and
values,and
he
applied
them
to
his
later
life
and
career.”可知,对Tracy的成长而言,他的早期童年经历帮助塑造了他的信仰和价值观,并将它们应用到他后来的生活和职业生涯中。ⅠⅡⅢⅣBKenyahasbeenattheforefront(前沿)oftheglobalwaronplasticsincethegovernmentbannedsingle-useplasticsinprotectedareasinJune2020.Unfortunately,thepreventivemeasureshavebarelyreceivedattention.Hundredsoftonsofindustrialandconsumerpolymerwastecontinuetogetdumpedintolandfillsdaily.However,if29-year-oldNzambiMateehasherway,theunsightlyplasticheapswillsoonbetransformedintocolorfulbricks.

Matee通过自己的努力,创造性地解决塑料垃圾污染的问题。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ5.Whatdoestheunderlinedsentenceinparagraph1imply?A.Matee’smethodcanbeeffectiveifadopted.B.Matee’sideahasbeenwidelyaccepted.C.Colorfulbricksareinhugedemand.D.Plasticwastehasn’tattractedenoughattention.√ⅠⅡⅢⅣ词义猜测题。根据画线句子前的However可知,该句话的意思与画线句子前的内容为转折关系,根据画线句子前的“Unfortunately,the
preventive
measures
have
barely
received
attention.Hundreds
of
tons
of
industrial
and
consumer
polymer
waste
continue
to
get
dumped
into
landfills
daily.”可知,政府的一些治理塑料污染的预防措施几乎没有取得实质的效果,大量的垃圾仍然被倒进垃圾填埋场,由此可知,画线句子的意思与此相反,应为“如果Matee的方法被采用可能会有效”。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ6.WhichofthefollowingcanbestdescribeNzambiMatee?A.Generousandambitious.B.Confidentandgrateful.C.Creativeandresolved.D.Optimisticandmodest.√ⅠⅡⅢⅣ推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But
the
determined
eco-entrepreneur
was
confident
in
her
idea
and
did
not
give
up.”可知Matee对自己的想法绝不会放弃,说明她很有决心;根据第三段中的“The
best
way
to
do
this
was
by
channeling
the
waste
into
the
construction
space
and
finding
the
most
efficient
and
affordable
material
to
build
homes.”可知,她认为最好的方法是将废物引入建筑空间,这种想法很有创造性。由以上内容可知,Matee是一个有创造性且有决心的人。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ7.WhatisNzambiMatee’sultimatepurposeinusingamixofplasticproducts?A.Tobuildcheaperhouses.B.Tosupportthegovernment.C.Tocreatejobopportunities.D.Totackleplasticpollution.√细节理解题。根据第三段“She
says,‘I
wanted
to

to
handle
plastic
waste
pollution...The
pavers
are
made
using
a
mix
of
plastic
products
that
cannot
be
reprocessed
or
recycled.”可知,将塑料产品的混合物做成铺路砖最终目的是解决塑料污染问题。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ8.Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleforthetext?A.Kenya:PioneerinBanningPlasticSingle-usePlasticsB.NzambiMatee:InnovatorinSolvingPlasticWasteC.MixofPlasticProducts:ANewConstructionMaterialD.PlasticRecycling:ACreativeSolutiontoPollution√ⅠⅡⅢⅣ主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The
materials
engineer’s
seeking
to
find
a
practical
solution
to
control
plastic
pollution
began
in
2017.”可知,材料工程师Nzambi
Matee寻求实用的方法来解决塑料垃圾污染问题,以及第三段中的“She
says,‘I
wanted
to
use...affordable
material
to
build
homes.’”可知,她认为解决问题的方法必须是实用、持续以及可负担的,她提出了将塑料垃圾转换到建筑空间之中的想法,并结合全文可知,标题“Nzambi
Matee:解决塑料垃圾污染问题的创新者”符合文章主题。ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅡ.七选五It’salwaysexcitingtobeginanewjob.Butamongthefrenzy(激动)ofmeetingnewcolleagues,startingnewprojects,andbuildingnewskills,therecanbeastressfulpressuretosucceed.Abigpartofyoursuccessisdeterminedbyhowquicklyyouareabletodigestlotsofinformation,whichcanbeveryhard.

设空处上文介绍了新工作所带来的压力和挑战——消化过多的信息;下文作者就如何处理大量信息提出四点建议;D项“Here
are
some
methods
to
deal
with
the
information
overload.”承上启下,符合语境,选项中的“the
information
overload”指代上文的“lots
of
information”,“some
methods”指下文所给出的具体的解决方法。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ2.G
由小标题“Manage
yourself”可知本段的建议是管理好自己;上文“When
you
notice
information
overload...It’s
okay
to
feel
this
way.”介绍了面对大量信息时,如何调整自己的心态和情绪;G项“This
self-talk
helps
normalize
the
situation
and
makes
the
emotions
easier
to
handle.”承接上文,说明自我对话所起到的作用。选项中的“This
self-talk”指代上文“Say
to
yourself,‘I’m
in
a
new
job
and
there
is
plenty
to
learn
here.It’s
okay
to
feel
this
way.’”;下文“Remember
that
emotions
can
help
you
better
understand
yourself
and
your
values.”阐述了管理好情绪的重要性;由此可知,G项符合本段主旨和语境。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ3.F
由下文“It
keeps
what
it
needs
more
immediately...store
in
our
long-term
memory.”可知句中“It”指代设空处所提到的某种存储信息的东西;结合本段最后一句“For
the
information
that’s
not
needed,our
brain
acts
like
a
garbage
management,recycling,and
deleting
it.”可知设空处提到是大脑。F项“Our
brain
is
like
a
clever
piece
of
equipment
that‘takes
in
information’.”符合语境,选项中的“takes
in”与下文中的“keeps”和“store”表达的意义一致。4.B
分析文章结构可知,设空处为此段的小标题;由下文内容可知作者在本段建议运用Word文档来帮大脑减负;B项“Use
technology
to
help”能够概括本段主旨,适合作为小标题。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ5.E
上文“Multitasking
isn’t
good
for
you
physically
or
mentally
and
is
worse
for
your
productivity
and
cognition.”阐述了同时处理多项任务的弊端;E项“For
greater
results,focus
on
one
task
for
around
25
minutes.”针对上文所阐述的同时处理多任务的弊端提出了解决方法:专注于一项任务;下文承接E项,就专注于一项活动的时间进一步阐述,指出专注于一项工作时,时间不能太长,要注意休息。故选E项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅢ.语法填空Toexhibitone’sworkattheSmithsonianInstitutioninWashingtonD.C.wouldbeahighpointinanyartist’scareer;toreceivesuchanhonorattheageoffourteenis1.

考查词性转换。句意:在华盛顿特区的史密森学会展出自己的作品将是任何艺术家职业生涯的高点;十四岁就获得这样的荣誉,真是了不起。修饰形容词用副词形式。故填truly。2.were
given
考查动词的时态和语态。这里为从句的谓语动词,根据主句时态可知,从句为一般过去时;主语her
paintings为复数,和动词give之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填were
given。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ3.to
receive
考查非谓语动词。句意:如果14岁就受到如此多的关注让人感觉是个很小的年龄,想想这个:亚妮在她的祖国中国的第一次展览是在她四岁的时候举行的!
