　　It was Christmas Eve when my elder sister and I decided to open our presents before our mom got home from work.She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school， which we thought was plenty of time to sneak a peek at the gifts under the tree.
My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big window in our front room.Finally， when my sister’s curiosity was satisfied， we traded places.
After unwrapping a few presents， I found it faster to open one end of a present and peek inside.“Cool！ Mom and Dad got me headphones for my stereo！” I pulled the headphones out of the box and was about to put them on when my sister shouted， “Quick！ Wrap it back up！ Mom’s coming！”
I shoved the headphones back in the box but my hands were shaking.My heart pounded harder as I tried to get the tape to stick.I had just finished burying the package with my headphones in it when my mother came into the front room.I jumped up and said，“Hi， Mom！” She smiled at me and said “Hi，” back， but didn’t appear to suspect a thing.My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath.
On Christmas morning， my sister and I smiled gave award-winning performances when we opened our presents — again.“Headphones！” I exclaimed.“Thanks， it’s just what I wanted.” After everything had been opened， my sister and I looked at each other， and our eyes met.Our secret was safe， but somehow Christmas morning didn’t feel the same.
My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again.I don’t know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn’t as much fun as the first time， or if we came too close to getting caught and didn’t want to think about what our mother would have done to us.
24.What did the author and his sister do before their mother came back？
A.They bought some Christmas presents.
B.They hid Christmas presents under the tree.
C.They opened Christmas presents in advance.
D.They wrapped the headphones for their mother.
25.How was the author feeling when his mother was coming？
A.Grateful and moved. B.Cheerful and excited.
C.Curious and surprised. D.Nervous and frightened.
26.Why did Christmas morning give the author a different feeling？
A.His secret was found out. B.His curiosity wasn’t satisfied.
C.A pleasant surprise was lost. D.A festival atmosphere was lost.
27.What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph？
A.He didn’t like the headphones. B.He regretted what he had done.
C.He wasn’t satisfied with his mother. D.He couldn’t find his Christmas present.

　　Lions， gray wolves and great white sharks have one thing in common： They’re top predators.Their diets consist almost entirely of meat， and except in rare instances， these animals have no natural predators — except humans.So， if we are predators of top predators， does that mean humans are at the top of the food chain？
The answer depends on how you define “predator”， that is， whether you’re killing to eat or just killing other animals.
“In biology， humans’ place in the food chain isn’t based on what does or doesn’t eat us， or on what we kill，” said Sylvain Bonhommeau， a scientist at IFREMER.“Rather， it’s completely based on what you eat，” Bonhommeau told Live Science.Based on that definition， the answer is no — humans aren’t top-predators.For the most part， we’re not killing wildlife to eat them.
Bonhommeau and colleagues at IFREMER set out to determine humans’ position on the food chain， also known as their trophic level （營養級）.Scientists typically score trophic levels on a scale of 1 to 5.Plants and other primary producers， which obtain energy using sunlight， occupy level one， and herbivores （食草動物） are in level two.Meanwhile， species at the third level eat only herbivores， and species at the fourth level eat only level-three carnivores （食肉動物） — and so on.Species that get their food from multiple trophic levels， like omnivores （雜食動物）， are scored by the average trophic level of what they eat， plus one.
The IFREMER scientists found that， on average， humans get 80％ of their daily calories from plants and 20％ from meat and fish.That puts us at an average trophic level of 2.21 — somewhere between anchovies and pigs.But humans’ trophic levels vary worldwide.In Burundi， for instance， plants made up 96.7％ of the local diet in 2009， giving those in that country a trophic level of 2.04.Meanwhile， those in Iceland had a trophic level of 2.57.
Of course， humans present a much larger threat to other animals than anchovies and pigs do.Some scientists argue that humans’ pressure on other species makes us super predators.
28.Why are humans not regarded as top-predators？
A.We have predators as well. B.We don’t eat everything we kill.
C.We seldom kill other animals now. D.We face threats from other animals.
29.What’s the trophic level of an animal that eats 50％ plants and 50％ herbivores？
A.1.5. B.2.
C.2.5. D.3.
30.What can we infer about people in Iceland？
A.They eat more meat than people in Burundi. B.They eat more plants than people in Burundi.
C.They kill more animals than people in Burundi. D.They kill fewer animals than people in Burundi.
31.What conclusion can we draw about humans？
A.We get most calories from meat. B.We have a medium trophic level.
C.We will reach the top of the food chain. D.We have a small threat to other animals.
D
　　Two environmental groups want a major soft drink giant pushed out of the world’s largest climate conference over plastics concerns， arguing the material has become “the new coal” and warrants a major response.
Just Zero and Beyond Plastics， two US based-groups， called on the United Nations Climate Change Conference to cancel Coca-Cola’s status as a sponsor of this year’s COP27 on Wednesday.They believed that the soft drink manufacturer’s role in the event is undermining the global fight against climate change and is at odds with efforts to bring down emissions.
“COP27 is supposed to focus on solutions for fighting the serious climate crisis，” said Judith Enck， who heads Beyond Plastics and previously served as an Obama-era EPA regional administrator.“Instead， we’re allowing it to be a stage for corporate greenwashing.”
She was joined in her remarks by Just Zero State Policy Director Peter Blair， who said the company’s sponsorship of COP27 makes it hard to see this meeting as anything more than a performative act.
Coca-Cola has repeatedly emphasized its recycling commitments and investments， which include plans to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century.But an annual audit of corporate brands by Break Free From Plastic， an international coalition， has notably named Coca-Cola “the world’s top plastic polluter” for four years running.
Critics charge that its pollution footprint speaks for itself.Coca-Cola has said that it is responsible for around 3 million metric tons of plastic packaging， an inevitable waste product.Such numbers， advocates argue， should disqualify the company from COP27 sponsorship.
“By pouring millions of dollars into sponsoring COP27， Coca-Cola is making a shameful play to give the appearance of environmental responsibility，” said Blair.“But behind the scenes， Coca-Cola launched campaigns to block improvements in real recycling and resist calls to transition away from single-use plastic bottles to reusable and refillable glass containers.”
32.What does the underlined word “undermining” in Paragraph 2 mean？
A.Making something less popular. B.Making something less powerful.
C.Making something more difficult. D.Making something more interesting.
33.What did Judith Enck and Peter Blair try to convey？
A.Their doubt and surprise. B.Their confusion and concern.
C.Their support and expectation. D.Their anger and disappointment.
34.Which proverb can best describe Coca-Cola according to Peter Blair？
A.Do as you would be done by. B.What’s done cannot be undone.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.He who plays with fire gets burned.
35.What would be the most suitable title for the text？
A.Coca-Cola — The World’s Top Plastic Polluter
B.Coca-Cola — One of the Sponsors of COP27
C.Green Groups Try to Kick Coca-Cola out of COP27
D.Green Groups Demand That Coca-Cola Stop Pollution

Taking exercise can be boring.The good news is that we can take some techniques and apply them to our everyday fitness routines.
·Have an objective.
When you’re playing a game， there’s always an objective.It helps us focus on the task at hand and motivates us to keep playing until we win the game.Exercise should be no different.Create a clear fitness goal.　36　.
But in order to see your progress and whether you’ve achieved your objective， it helps to track your physical activity.That includes steps， heart rate and distance traveled， among other data.　37　： wearable tech like the Fitbit or the Apple Watch， or smartphone apps that may come free with your device.
·　38　.
Research suggests that adding an element of competition to your exercise routine can actually help you work out harder.In a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine in 2019， a team of researchers challenged 602 overweight employees from a single company to participate in a step-tracking challenge.The group asked to compete against other employees ended up walking more steps than any other group in the study.
　39　， look into fitness programs that encourage friendly competition.The app Zwift， for example， allows you race against others around a virtual world.
·Team up with them.
In that same 2019 JAMA study， another group of participants was asked to divide into teams of three.Each day， one member of the group was selected to represent the entire team with their individual step count of the day.This approach encouraged each member of the group to try to meet the day’s step goal.　40　.You can try to recreate this dynamic by working toward an exercise goal with other people.
A.Compete against others
B.Just try to be your personal best
C.If you’re seeking a similar motivation
D.When you have a clear direction in mind
E.Aim to walk 10，000 steps a day， for example
F.No one wanted to let their team members down
G.And there are plenty of digital tools that can help with this

Habitat loss， pesticides and climate change 　56　 （threaten） insect populations worldwide now.In 2019， Biological Conservation reported that 40％ of all insects species are declining 　57　 （global） and that a third of them are endangered.
And 　58　 it may sound nice to live in a world with fewer roaches， environmental writer Oliver Milman says that human beings would be in big trouble without insects.That’s because insects play critical 　59　 （role） in pollinating plants we eat， breaking down waste in forest soil and forming the base of a food chain that other larger animals — including humans — rely upon.
“It would be 　60　 extremely terrible place to live in — and certainly not something we should ever aim for，” Milman says of an insect-free existence.“You would certainly have mass starvation and societal unrest ...It’d be a place 　61　 there would be rotting feces everywhere because insects that break down those materials would be gone.”
Milman charts the troubling decline of insects in 　62　 （he） new book， The Insect Crisis： The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the World.He says that while it is impossible 　63　 （know） exactly what’s happening with every insect species in the world， the overall trends are not good： a UN assessment 　64　 （carry） out in 2019 found that half a million insect species are under threat of extinction， some in the coming decades.“The world， our surroundings， would be far quieter and much 　65　 （boring） without insects，” he says.

　　In her small town， Emma was known for her love and respect for all living creatures， and she believed that humans and animals should coexist peacefully and harmoniously.One day， while hiking in the nearby woods， Emma spotted a wounded （受傷的） deer caught in a hunter’s trap.Without hesitation， she carefully freed the deer and nursed it back to health.
　　Over the next few weeks， Emma devoted her time and energy to caring for the deer.She visited it every day after school， bringing fresh fruits and vegetables.She carefully examined its wounds， applying some medicine to help it get better and prevent infection.As the days went by， the deer began to regain its strength， and Emma was overjoyed to see it stand on its legs once again.
　　Emma also took the time to learn about deer behaviour and their natural habitat.She researched the best foods to feed the deer and created a comfortable place for it to rest in during the day.She even made a small water fountain to ensure that the deer had access to clean drinking water.
　　As the weeks turned into months.Emma watched as the deer grew stronger and more confident.It would often follow her around the backyard， nudging （輕推） her playfully with its nose.Emma felt a deep sense of satisfaction knowing that she had played a part in saving this beautiful creature’s life.
　　One sunny afternoon， as Emma sat in her backyard reading a book， she heard a familiar sound.She looked up and saw the deer standing near her， looking at her with gentle eyes.It was clear that the deer had fully recovered and was ready to return to the wild.
　　Emma felt a sense of sadness but also knew that it was time for the deer to go back to its natural habitat.She opened the gate and watched as the deer bounded away， disappearing into the forest.From that day on， Emma continued to care for animals in need， knowing that she had made a difference in the life of at least one creature.

M：I’d like to mail this package to California.
W：Fill out this form with the required information. You can do this at the side counter. Pens are available there.
（Text 2）
M：Would you like to join us for dinner tonight， Betty？
W：I’d love to. Where are we going？
M：Oh， Jake made a reservation at a restaurant near my home.
（Text 3）
W：Do you think the weather will be good this weekend？
M：I heard it might rain.
W：That’s a pity. I’d thought about going hiking in the hills.
M：Well， we can go to that new art gallery instead.
（Text 4）
M：This book is really interesting. I’ve enjoyed it very much.
W：What is it？ Is it a novel？
M：No， it’s a medical book. It’s been very popular recently， even though there’s obviously boring subject matter.
W：Really？ I don’t think I’d enjoy anything on such a boring topic， even if it is useful. I much prefer science fiction， especially about what life might be like in the future.
（Text 5）
M：Hey， you look great！ How did you get in such good shape？
W：I’ve been going to the club regularly， and the training has really paid off. I’m in better shape than I have been for years and I know much more about how to keep fit.
M：I haven’t gone to the club for weeks. I am too busy with work.
W：I know. It’s so easy to be too busy for exercise， but I’ve realised that exercise is extremely important to every other aspect of life.
（Text 6）
M：Do you often shop online？
W：Oh， yes， quite often. It is very convenient， and it saves me a lot of time.
M：You know， I’ve never tried online shopping before. I’d like to try， but I’m a bit nervous I’ll make a mistake.
W：Ah， you are talking to the right person. If you keep two very important tips in mind， you’ll be fine. First， visit more than one site to find the best products and prices. I can tell you some of the best online shops. Second， when you finally place your order， be sure to write your mailing address and phone number correctly， or you might not receive your delivery on time.
M：So what do I do if I want to buy something？
W：You just need to provide your name， mailing address， e-mail address， phone number and bank card information. I can help you with that.
M：Oh， thank you！ That is so nice of you.
（Text 7）
W：Why weren’t you at the Spanish class last night， Jack？ Have you decided to give up？
M：No. I came back late yesterday and found John asleep in his chair. He’d been writing a report all day long and he was too tired to go out again. So we gave the lesson a miss.
W：You’ve missed quite a lot of lessons recently， haven’t you？ Are you losing interest？
M：Yes， I’m afraid so. Neither I nor John has a gift for language. People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak Spanish. How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily？ You’ve been in Spain for hardly a month.
W：It wasn’t all that quick. We’d both studied the language before we came， and we needed a lot of review before we came back.
M：Anyway， all our friends here speak English very well， so we don’t really need to learn Spanish.
（Text 8）
M：I am having trouble with my job. Five of my colleagues and I have been working on a project since last Wednesday.
W：Is the project too hard？
M：No， it’s not all that hard but no one is working together on it.
W：So your group is having a problem with teamwork.
M：Yes. We have to finish it before next Friday， only ten days from now.
W：Is there anyone in charge of the team？
M：No. Everyone is just doing their own separate work.
W：If your group doesn’t come together， then no one will know what has been done and what still needs to be done.
M：But how do I get them to work together？
W：If your group does not have a leader， then you should step up and be one.
M：How do I do that？
W：You should call everyone together for a meeting.
M：And then what should I do when I have them all together？
W：Let them know that this project is important， and so is working as a team to get it done.
M：Thank you for the advice. I will call everybody now and tell them we are going to have a meeting in the morning.
（Text 9）
W：Hi there！ What have you been up to lately？
M：I have been looking for a university to apply to.
W：Really？ So have I！
M：Cool！ What term will you apply for？
W：For the fall semester. How about you？
M：I’ll apply for the spring semester. I need to work and earn some money in the next six months.
W：Yeah， college can be very expensive.
M：How are you paying for college？
W：I am getting help from a bank.
M：That’s cool. So have you started filling out any university applications？
W：Yes， I have. The applications take a while！
M：They do， especially all those essays.
W：Yes， those are hard. I’m not really sure what to write about.
M：I’m glad I’m not applying until the spring， so I have more time to prepare.
W：Yeah， you’re lucky you have more time. So do you plan to rent a room near the university you go to？
M：Yes， I plan to rent a room near the university and find a roommate to share the cost， so I can save some money.
W：Oh， really？ My friend Jack wants to do that too. If you’re in the same area， perhaps you could rent a place with him.
M：Oh， that’s wonderful！ Could I get his contact information from you？
W：Sure. I’ll give you his phone number right now.
M：Thanks！

Future homes will have some really smart cooking tools. Microwave ovens and refrigerators will probably be combined， so that meals can be ready upon one’s arrival home.
Future homes may also have refrigerators that can suggest menus based upon the food you have at home. In the home of the future， the refrigerator will probably also be able to take note of all food supplies in the home and inform you when you’re running out， or even be programmed to contact the local supermarket to drop off the needed food supplies.
Future homes will also be very energy-saving. Microsoft， Google and others are now working on applications to help you see and track which tools use the most electricity， helping you save electricity and thus your daily expenses.
There will most likely also be systems in place for saving and reusing wash water and bath water， which will probably have to be the main origin of future water， so that both plants and people can still have clean water in the future， when water supplies are low.

22.A　細節理解題。根據Charlotte’s Web by E.B.White中的Who doesn’t love a novel about talking animals？ It opens the door to imagination， asking us to imagine what a world where animals could talk would be like.可知，小說《夏洛的網》用想象力描繪了一個動物會說話的世界。由此可知，這是一本童話故事書。
23.D　細節理解題。根據To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee中的It is both a young girl’s coming-of-age story and a darker drama about the roots and consequences of racism and prejudice in society.可知，《殺死一只知更鳥》揭示了社會中種族主義和偏見的根源和后果。由此可知，它探究的主題是社會問題。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。出于好奇心，作者和姐姐在圣誕節前夕趁母親不在時偷偷提前打開了圣誕禮物。可是，當圣誕節清晨真正打開禮物的那一刻來臨時，作者卻體會到一種失落感。
24.C　細節理解題。根據第一至第三段可知，出于好奇心，作者和姐姐在圣誕節前夕趁母親不在時偷偷提前打開了圣誕禮物。
25.D　推理判斷題。根據第四段可知，聽到母親馬上要回來，作者雙手發抖、心跳加快。
26.C　推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段可知，圣誕節清晨作者打開禮物后假裝激動和興奮，其實那份驚喜是不存在的。
27.B　推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知，作者和姐姐從此以后再也沒有提前打開過圣誕禮物，作者分析可能的原因是第二次打開禮物不再有真正的驚喜和興奮感。由此判斷，作者對自己之前提前打開禮物的做法是后悔的。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。我們通常認為人類居于食物鏈的頂端，事實真地如此嗎？
28.B　細節理解題。根據第二、三段可知，人類在食物鏈的位置取決于我們吃什么，而非我們殺死了什么。由此得出結論，我們人類并非食物鏈頂端的食肉者。這就說明人類并非總是吃掉殺死的動物。
29.C　推理判斷題。根據第四段可知，雜食動物獲取多個營養級的食物，其在食物鏈中的營養級數值計算方式為：各營養級的平均值加起來，再加上1。植物位于層級1，食草動物位于層級2，0.5＋1＋1＝2.5。
30.A　推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段可知，愛爾蘭人的營養層級數值比布隆迪人更高，這說明前者吃肉更多。
31.B　推理判斷題。綜合全文可知，食物鏈層級由1到5排列，人類的層級數值為2.21；我們獲取的卡路里主要來自植物；我們對動物造成的威脅依然很大。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。世界飲料巨頭可口可樂成為2022年聯合國氣候變化大會第27次締約方會議（COP27）的贊助商，這引起很多環保人士的不滿和抗議。
32.B　詞義猜測題。根據上下文可知，可口可樂公司是全球塑料污染的頭號制造者，由于它的這一特殊身份，它贊助聯合國氣候變化大會是很諷刺的，也會削弱全球范圍與氣候變化進行的斗爭。
33.D　細節理解題。根據第三、四段可知，Judith Enck和Peter Blair兩人對可口可樂贊助聯合國氣候變化大會一事都表示了不滿、失望和批判，后者明確指出：此事使得這次會議更像是表演和作秀。
34.C　推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知，Peter Blair指出，可口可樂公司表面包裝出對環境負責任的形象，而背后的所作所為卻恰恰相反——堅持使用一次性塑料瓶、反對可回收瓶子的使用。也就是說它說一套做一套。
35.C　標題歸納題。綜合全文可知，本文主要圍繞環保人士對可口可樂公司成為聯合國氣候變化大會贊助商一事的抵制展開。這些綠色環保組織堅持要求會議主辦方取消可口可樂公司贊助商的身份。因此C項最適合作文章標題。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。鍛煉身體是一件很枯燥的事，我們應該怎樣讓它變得有趣呢？
36.E　上句建議我們設立一個明確的健身目標，E項正好是作者列舉的一個例子，符合語境。
37.G　下文列舉的都是一些可穿戴式設備及軟件，如Fitbit、蘋果手表以及智能手機應用程序等，故G項符合語境。
38.A　本段主要建議我們在鍛煉過程中增加一些競爭的成分，故A項適合作為本段的小標題。
39.C　上文指出鍛煉過程中增加競爭成分有利于獲得更好的表現，下文作者給我們推薦了一些能激勵競爭的應用程序，C項承上啟下，符合語境。
40.F　上句指出每個小組的每名隊員都努力完成走路步數的目標，F項正好是對此意的補充說明：沒有人想讓隊員們感到失望。
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。Walter Orthmann來自巴西，他創造了在同一家公司工作時間最長（84年零9天）的吉尼斯世界紀錄。
41.C　根據下文中的hold jobs for decades可知，這里強調的是員工對公司的忠誠。
42.D　根據下文working at the same company可知，Walter Orthmann創造了在同一家公司工作時間最長的世界紀錄。
43.A　參見上題解析。set a record是固定搭配，意為“創造一項紀錄”。
44.B　根據上文可知，本文主要談論Walter Orthmann的工作經歷，也就是職業生涯。
45.C　根據下文Orthmann continued to love learning可知，Walter Orthmann對學習一直很有熱情。
46.B　由于熱愛學習，Walter Orthmann得到提升，獲得一個銷售的職位。
47.A　Walter Orthmann的工作時長得到了吉尼斯世界紀錄組委會的證實。
48.D　在Walter Orthmann看來，創造這項吉尼斯世界紀錄是一項榮譽。
49.B　4月19日是Walter Orthmann的一百歲生日，他與同事、朋友及家人共同慶祝。
50.C　由于Walter Orthmann堅持鍛煉，他的身體和精神都很健康。
51.B　根據下文可知，這里Walter Orthmann強調我們要活在當下。
52.D　Walter Orthmann說他既不計劃明天，也不關注昨天。pay attention to是固定短語。
53.A　Walter Orthmann所關心的是：我們應該感恩自己現在所擁有的一切。
54.C　參見上題解析。
55.B　綜合上文可知，Walter Orthmann認為活在當下、此地此刻才是最重要的。here and now意為“此地此刻”，這里的count等于matter，意為“重要”。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。由于棲息地減少、農藥使用以及氣候變化等原因，昆蟲在全球范圍內大幅度減少。
56.are threatening　考查動詞的時態和主謂一致。本句時間狀語為now，因此這里用現在進行時。
57.globally　考查副詞。這里應用副詞修飾謂語動詞作狀語。
58.while/although/though　考查連詞。前后兩個分句之間存在轉折關系，因此這里填入while/although/though引導讓步狀語從句。
59.roles　考查名詞的單復數。這里role是可數名詞，表達復數概念。
60.an　考查冠詞。這里表示泛指，且extremely的發音以元音音素開頭，因此應用不定冠詞an。
61.where　考查定語從句。設空處前面的place為先行詞，因此應用關系副詞where引導定語從句。
62.his　考查代詞。設空處后面是名詞詞組new book，因此應用形容詞性物主代詞his。
63.to know　考查非謂語動詞。本從句中前面的it為形式主語，這里應用動詞不定式形式作真正的主語。
64.carried　考查非謂語動詞。這里應用過去分詞作后置定語，修飾前面的名詞assessment。
65.more boring　考查形容詞的比較級。設空處前面的far quieter暗示這里應用形容詞的比較級形式，故填more boring。

第二節

聽力材料：
（Text 1）
M：I’d like to mail this package to California.
W：Fill out this form with the required information. You can do this at the
side counter. Pens are available there.
（Text 2）
M：Would you like to join us for dinner tonight， Betty？
W：I’d love to. Where are we going？
M：Oh， Jake made a reservation at a restaurant near my home.
W：Do you think the weather will be good this weekend？
M：I heard it might rain.
W：That’s a pity. I’d thought about going hiking in the hills.
M：Well， we can go to that new art gallery instead.
（Text 4）
M：This book is really interesting. I’ve enjoyed it very much.
W：What is it？ Is it a novel？
M：No， it’s a medical book. It’s been very popular recently， even
though there’s obviously boring subject matter.
（Text 3）
W：Really？ I don’t think I’d enjoy anything on such a boring topic，
even if it is useful. I much prefer science fiction， especially about what
life might be like in the future.
（Text 5）
M：Hey， you look great！ How did you get in such good shape？
W：I’ve been going to the club regularly， and the training has really paid
off. I’m in better shape than I have been for years and I know much more
about how to keep fit.
M：I haven’t gone to the club for weeks. I am too busy with work.
W：I know. It’s so easy to be too busy for exercise， but I’ve realised that
exercise is extremely important to every other aspect of life.
（Text 6）
M：Do you often shop online？
W：Oh， yes， quite often. It is very convenient， and it saves me a lot
of time.
M：You know， I’ve never tried online shopping before. I’d like to try，
but I’m a bit nervous I’ll make a mistake.
W：Ah， you are talking to the right person. If you keep two very
important tips in mind， you’ll be fine. First， visit more than one site to
find the best products and prices. I can tell you some of the best online
shops. Second， when you finally place your order， be sure to write your
mailing address and phone number correctly， or you might not receive
your delivery on time.
M：So what do I do if I want to buy something？
W：You just need to provide your name， mailing address， e-mail
address， phone number and bank card information. I can help you with
that.
M：Oh， thank you！ That is so nice of you.
（Text 7）
W：Why weren’t you at the Spanish class last night， Jack？ Have you
decided to give up？
M：No. I came back late yesterday and found John asleep in his chair.
He’d been writing a report all day long and he was too tired to go out
again. So we gave the lesson a miss.
W：You’ve missed quite a lot of lessons recently， haven’t you？ Are you
losing interest？
M：Yes， I’m afraid so. Neither I nor John has a gift for language. People
just laugh at us when we attempt to speak Spanish. How did you and Jane
pick it up so quickly and easily？ You’ve been in Spain for hardly a month.
W：It wasn’t all that quick. We’d both studied the language before we
came， and we needed a lot of review before we came back.
M：Anyway， all our friends here speak English very well， so we don’t
really need to learn Spanish.
（Text 8）
M：I am having trouble with my job. Five of my colleagues and I have
been working on a project since last Wednesday.
W：Is the project too hard？
M：No， it’s not all that hard but no one is working together on it.
W：So your group is having a problem with teamwork.
M：Yes. We have to finish it before next Friday， only ten days from now.
W：Is there anyone in charge of the team？
M：No. Everyone is just doing their own separate work.
W：If your group doesn’t come together， then no one will know what
has been done and what still needs to be done.
M：But how do I get them to work together？
W：If your group does not have a leader， then you should step up and be
one.
M：How do I do that？
W：You should call everyone together for a meeting.
M：And then what should I do when I have them all together？
W：Let them know that this project is important， and so is working as a
team to get it done.
M：Thank you for the advice. I will call everybody now and tell them we
are going to have a meeting in the morning.
（Text 9）
W：Hi there！ What have you been up to lately？
M：I have been looking for a university to apply to.
W：Really？ So have I！
M：Cool！ What term will you apply for？
W：For the fall semester. How about you？
M：I’ll apply for the spring semester. I need to work and earn some money
in the next six months.
W：Yeah， college can be very expensive.
M：How are you paying for college？
W：I am getting help from a bank.
M：That’s cool. So have you started filling out any university
applications？
W：Yes， I have. The applications take a while！
M：They do， especially all those essays.
W：Yes， those are hard. I’m not really sure what to write about.
M：I’m glad I’m not applying until the spring， so I have more time to
prepare.
W：Yeah， you’re lucky you have more time. So do you plan to rent a
room near the university you go to？
M：Yes， I plan to rent a room near the university and find a roommate to
share the cost， so I can save some money.
W：Oh， really？ My friend Jack wants to do that too. If you’re in the
same area， perhaps you could rent a place with him.
M：Oh， that’s wonderful！ Could I get his contact information from
you？
W：Sure. I’ll give you his phone number right now.
M：Thanks！
（Text 10）
Future homes will have some really smart cooking tools. Microwave
ovens and refrigerators will probably be combined， so that meals can be
ready upon one’s arrival home.
Future homes may also have refrigerators that can suggest menus
based upon the food you have at home. In the home of the future， the
refrigerator will probably also be able to take note of all food supplies in
the home and inform you when you’re running out， or even be
programmed to contact the local supermarket to drop off the needed food
supplies.
Future homes will also be very energy-saving. Microsoft， Google
and others are now working on applications to help you see and track
which tools use the most electricity， helping you save electricity and thus
your daily expenses.
There will most likely also be systems in place for saving and reusing
wash water and bath water， which will probably have to be the main
origin of future water， so that both plants and people can still have clean
water in the future， when water supplies are low.
第二部分　閱讀（共兩節，滿分50分）
第一節（共15小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳
選項。
A
　　Here are 4 books you should read at least once in your life.
Number the Stars by Lois
It tells the story of a Danish girl growing up in World War
Ⅱ with her best friend， Ellen， who happens to be Jewish.
When she learns about the horrors that the Nazis are imposing
on the Jewish people， she and her family stop at nothing to
protect Ellen and countless other Jews.Lois’ novel is a powerful
reminder that cultural and religious differences are no divide
between true friends.
The Little Prince by Antoine
It is the story of a little boy who falls to Earth from an asteroid （小行星） after visiting several other asteroids to try to understand mankind.In his travels he meets a series of strange and delightful characters and an
untamed fox.The Little Prince is a heartwarming tale of the power of friendship and trust.
Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White
Who doesn’t love a novel about talking animals？ It opens the door to imagination， asking us to imagine what a world where animals could talk would be like.On a more serious note， it challenges us to ask ourselves how we’d treat animals if they could talk.If they could tell us their joys and
their fears， would mankind treat them more humanely？
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The story centers on Jean Louise Finch， an unusually intelligent girl who ages from six to nine years old during the novel.Her father， Atticus Finch， a well-known and respected lawyer， defends Tom Robinson， an African American who is falsely accused of killing a young white
woman.It is both a young girl’s coming-of-age story and a darker drama about the roots and consequences of racism and prejudice in society.

　　It was Christmas Eve when my elder sister and I decided to open our
presents before our mom got home from work.She usually came home
about an hour after we got home from school， which we thought was
plenty of time to sneak a peek at the gifts under the tree.
My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to
stand guard at the big window in our front room.Finally， when my
sister’s curiosity was satisfied， we traded places.
After unwrapping a few presents， I found it faster to open one end of
a present and peek inside.“Cool！ Mom and Dad got me headphones for
my stereo！” I pulled the headphones out of the box and was about to put
them on when my sister shouted， “Quick！ Wrap it back up！ Mom’s
coming！”
I shoved the headphones back in the box but my hands were
shaking.My heart pounded harder as I tried to get the tape to stick.I had
just finished burying the package with my headphones in it when my
mother came into the front room.I jumped up and said，“Hi， Mom！”
She smiled at me and said “Hi，” back， but didn’t appear to suspect a
thing.My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath.
On Christmas morning， my sister and I smiled gave award-winning
performances when we opened our presents — again.“Headphones！” I
exclaimed.“Thanks， it’s just what I wanted.” After everything had
been opened， my sister and I looked at each other， and our eyes
met.Our secret was safe， but somehow Christmas morning didn’t feel the
same.
My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again.I
don’t know if it was that opening our gifts for the second time just wasn’t
as much fun as the first time， or if we came too close to getting caught
and didn’t want to think about what our mother would have done to us.

　　Lions， gray wolves and great white sharks have one thing in
common： They’re top predators.Their diets consist almost entirely of
meat， and except in rare instances， these animals have no natural
predators — except humans.So， if we are predators of top predators，
does that mean humans are at the top of the food chain？
The answer depends on how you define “predator”， that is，
whether you’re killing to eat or just killing other animals.
“In biology， humans’ place in the food chain isn’t based on what
does or doesn’t eat us， or on what we kill，” said Sylvain
Bonhommeau， a scientist at IFREMER. “Rather， it’s completely based
on what you eat，” Bonhommeau told Live Science.Based on that
definition， the answer is no — humans aren’t top-predators.For the most
part， we’re not killing wildlife to eat them.
Bonhommeau and colleagues at IFREMER set out to determine
humans’ position on the food chain， also known as their trophic level
（營養級）.Scientists typically score trophic levels on a scale of 1 to
5.Plants and other primary producers， which obtain energy using
sunlight， occupy level one， and herbivores （食草動物） are in level
two.Meanwhile， species at the third level eat only herbivores， and
species at the fourth level eat only level-three carnivores （食肉動物） —
and so on.Species that get their food from multiple trophic levels， like
omnivores （雜食動物）， are scored by the average trophic level of
what they eat， plus one.
The IFREMER scientists found that， on average， humans get 80％
of their daily calories from plants and 20％ from meat and fish.That puts
us at an average trophic level of 2.21 — somewhere between anchovies
and pigs.But humans’ trophic levels vary worldwide.In Burundi， for
instance， plants made up 96.7％ of the local diet in 2009， giving those
in that country a trophic level of 2.04.Meanwhile， those in Iceland had a
trophic level of 2.57.
Of course， humans present a much larger threat to other animals
than anchovies and pigs do.Some scientists argue that humans’ pressure on
other species makes us super predators.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。我們通常認為人類居于食物鏈的頂
端，事實真地如此嗎？
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。我們通常認為人類居于食物鏈的頂
端，事實真地如此嗎？
28. Why are humans not regarded as top-predators？
A. We have predators as well.
B. We don’t eat everything we kill.
C. We seldom kill other animals now.
D. We face threats from other animals.
解析： 　細節理解題。根據第二、三段可知，人類在食物鏈的位
置取決于我們吃什么，而非我們殺死了什么。由此得出結論，我
們人類并非食物鏈頂端的食肉者。這就說明人類并非總是吃掉殺
死的動物。
29. What’s the trophic level of an animal that eats 50％ plants and 50％
herbivores？
A. 1.5. B. 2.
C. 2.5. D. 3.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據第四段可知，雜食動物獲取多個營養
級的食物，其在食物鏈中的營養級數值計算方式為：各營養級的
平均值加起來，再加上1。植物位于層級1，食草動物位于層級2，
0.5＋1＋1＝2.5。
30. What can we infer about people in Iceland？
A. They eat more meat than people in Burundi.
B. They eat more plants than people in Burundi.
C. They kill more animals than people in Burundi.
D. They kill fewer animals than people in Burundi.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段可知，愛爾蘭人的營養層
級數值比布隆迪人更高，這說明前者吃肉更多。
31. What conclusion can we draw about humans？
A. We get most calories from meat.
B. We have a medium trophic level.
C. We will reach the top of the food chain.
D. We have a small threat to other animals.
解析： 　推理判斷題。綜合全文可知，食物鏈層級由1到5排列，
人類的層級數值為2.21；我們獲取的卡路里主要來自植物；我們對
動物造成的威脅依然很大。
D
　　Two environmental groups want a major soft drink giant pushed out
of the world’s largest climate conference over plastics concerns， arguing
the material has become “the new coal” and warrants a major response.
Just Zero and Beyond Plastics， two US based-groups， called on the
United Nations Climate Change Conference to cancel Coca-Cola’s status
as a sponsor of this year’s COP27 on Wednesday.They believed that the
soft drink manufacturer’s role in the event is the global
fight against climate change and is at odds with efforts to bring down
emissions.
undermining　
“COP27 is supposed to focus on solutions for fighting the serious
climate crisis，” said Judith Enck， who heads Beyond Plastics and
previously served as an Obama-era EPA regional administrator.“Instead，
we’re allowing it to be a stage for corporate greenwashing.”
She was joined in her remarks by Just Zero State Policy Director Peter
Blair， who said the company’s sponsorship of COP27 makes it hard to
see this meeting as anything more than a performative act.
Coca-Cola has repeatedly emphasized its recycling commitments and
investments， which include plans to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-
century.But an annual audit of corporate brands by Break Free From
Plastic， an international coalition， has notably named Coca-Cola “the
world’s top plastic polluter” for four years running.
Critics charge that its pollution footprint speaks for itself.Coca-Cola
has said that it is responsible for around 3 million metric tons of plastic
packaging， an inevitable waste product.Such numbers， advocates
argue， should disqualify the company from COP27 sponsorship.
“By pouring millions of dollars into sponsoring COP27， Coca-Cola
is making a shameful play to give the appearance of environmental
responsibility，” said Blair.“But behind the scenes， Coca-Cola
launched campaigns to block improvements in real recycling and resist
calls to transition away from single-use plastic bottles to reusable and
refillable glass containers.”

聯合國氣候變化大會第27次締約方會議（COP27）的贊助商，這引
起很多環保人士的不滿和抗議。
32. What does the underlined word “undermining” in Paragraph 2
mean？
A. Making something less popular.
B. Making something less powerful.
C. Making something more difficult.
D. Making something more interesting.
解析： 　詞義猜測題。根據上下文可知，可口可樂公司是全
球塑料污染的頭號制造者，由于它的這一特殊身份，它贊助聯
合國氣候變化大會是很諷刺的，也會削弱全球范圍與氣候變化
進行的斗爭。
33. What did Judith Enck and Peter Blair try to convey？
A. Their doubt and surprise.
B. Their confusion and concern.
C. Their support and expectation.
D. Their anger and disappointment.
解析： 　細節理解題。根據第三、四段可知，Judith Enck和Peter
Blair兩人對可口可樂贊助聯合國氣候變化大會一事都表示了不
滿、失望和批判，后者明確指出：此事使得這次會議更像是表演
和作秀。
34. Which proverb can best describe Coca-Cola according to Peter Blair？
A. Do as you would be done by.
B. What’s done cannot be undone.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. He who plays with fire gets burned.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知，Peter Blair指出，可
口可樂公司表面包裝出對環境負責任的形象，而背后的所作所為
卻恰恰相反——堅持使用一次性塑料瓶、反對可回收瓶子的使
用。也就是說它說一套做一套。
35. What would be the most suitable title for the text？
A. Coca-Cola — The World’s Top Plastic Polluter
B. Coca-Cola — One of the Sponsors of COP27
C. Green Groups Try to Kick Coca-Cola out of COP27
D. Green Groups Demand That Coca-Cola Stop Pollution
解析： 　標題歸納題。綜合全文可知，本文主要圍繞環保人士對
可口可樂公司成為聯合國氣候變化大會贊助商一事的抵制展開。
這些綠色環保組織堅持要求會議主辦方取消可口可樂公司贊助商
的身份。因此C項最適合作文章標題。

項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Taking exercise can be boring.The good news is that we can take
some techniques and apply them to our everyday fitness routines.
·Have an objective.
When you’re playing a game， there’s always an objective.It helps us
focus on the task at hand and motivates us to keep playing until we win the
game.Exercise should be no different.Create a clear fitness goal. 　36　.
But in order to see your progress and whether you’ve achieved your
objective， it helps to track your physical activity.That includes steps，
heart rate and distance traveled， among other data. 　37　： wearable
tech like the Fitbit or the Apple Watch， or smartphone apps that may
come free with your device.
· 　38　.
Research suggests that adding an element of competition to your
exercise routine can actually help you work out harder.In a study published
in JAMA Internal Medicine in 2019， a team of researchers challenged
602 overweight employees from a single company to participate in a step-
tracking challenge.The group asked to compete against other employees
ended up walking more steps than any other group in the study.
　39　， look into fitness programs that encourage friendly
competition.The app Zwift， for example， allows you race against others
around a virtual world.
·Team up with them.
In that same 2019 JAMA study， another group of participants was
asked to divide into teams of three.Each day， one member of the group
was selected to represent the entire team with their individual step count of
the day.This approach encouraged each member of the group to try to meet
the day’s step goal. 　40　.You can try to recreate this dynamic by working
toward an exercise goal with other people.
A. Compete against others
B. Just try to be your personal best
C. If you’re seeking a similar motivation
D. When you have a clear direction in mind
E. Aim to walk 10，000 steps a day， for example
F. No one wanted to let their team members down
G. And there are plenty of digital tools that can help with this
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。鍛煉身體是一件很枯燥的事，我們
應該怎樣讓它變得有趣呢？
36. E　上句建議我們設立一個明確的健身目標，E項正好是作者列舉
的一個例子，符合語境。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。鍛煉身體是一件很枯燥的事，我們
應該怎樣讓它變得有趣呢？
37. G　下文列舉的都是一些可穿戴式設備及軟件，如Fitbit、蘋果手
表以及智能手機應用程序等，故G項符合語境。
38. A　本段主要建議我們在鍛煉過程中增加一些競爭的成分，故A項
適合作為本段的小標題。
39. C　上文指出鍛煉過程中增加競爭成分有利于獲得更好的表現，下
文作者給我們推薦了一些能激勵競爭的應用程序，C項承上啟下，符
合語境。
40. F　上句指出每個小組的每名隊員都努力完成走路步數的目標，F
項正好是對此意的補充說明：沒有人想讓隊員們感到失望。

Habitat loss， pesticides and climate change 　56　 （threaten）
insect populations worldwide now.In 2019， Biological Conservation
reported that 40％ of all insects species are declining 　57　 （global）
and that a third of them are endangered.
And 　58　 it may sound nice to live in a world with fewer roaches，
environmental writer Oliver Milman says that human beings would be in
big trouble without insects.That’s because insects play critical 　59　
（role） in pollinating plants we eat， breaking down waste in forest soil
and forming the base of a food chain that other larger animals — including
humans — rely upon.
“It would be 　60　 extremely terrible place to live in — and
certainly not something we should ever aim for，” Milman says of an
insect-free existence.“You would certainly have mass starvation and
societal unrest ...It’d be a place 　61　 there would be rotting feces
everywhere because insects that break down those materials would be
gone.”
Milman charts the troubling decline of insects in 　62　 （he） new
book， The Insect Crisis： The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the
World.He says that while it is impossible 　63　 （know） exactly what’s
happening with every insect species in the world， the overall trends are
not good： a UN assessment 　64　 （carry） out in 2019 found that half
a million insect species are under threat of extinction， some in the
coming decades.“The world， our surroundings， would be far quieter
and much 　65　 （boring） without insects，” he says.

　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構
成一篇完整的短文。
　　In her small town， Emma was known for her love and respect for all
living creatures， and she believed that humans and animals should
coexist peacefully and harmoniously.One day， while hiking in the nearby
woods， Emma spotted a wounded （受傷的） deer caught in a hunter’s
trap.Without hesitation， she carefully freed the deer and nursed it back to
health.
　　Over the next few weeks， Emma devoted her time and energy to
caring for the deer.She visited it every day after school， bringing fresh
fruits and vegetables.She carefully examined its wounds， applying some
medicine to help it get better and prevent infection.As the days went by，
the deer began to regain its strength， and Emma was overjoyed to see it
stand on its legs once again.
　　Emma also took the time to learn about deer behaviour and their
natural habitat.She researched the best foods to feed the deer and created a
comfortable place for it to rest in during the day.She even made a small
water fountain to ensure that the deer had access to clean drinking water.
　　As the weeks turned into months.Emma watched as the deer grew
stronger and more confident.It would often follow her around the
backyard， nudging （輕推） her playfully with its nose.Emma felt a
deep sense of satisfaction knowing that she had played a part in saving this
beautiful creature’s life.
　　One sunny afternoon， as Emma sat in her backyard reading a
book， she heard a familiar sound.She looked up and saw the deer
standing near her， looking at her with gentle eyes.It was clear that the
deer had fully recovered and was ready to return to the wild.
　　Emma felt a sense of sadness but also knew that it was time for the
deer to go back to its natural habitat.She opened the gate and watched as
the deer bounded away， disappearing into the forest.From that day on，
Emma continued to care for animals in need， knowing that she had made
a difference in the life of at least one creature.

regained her senses.She quickly came back to bring fresh fruits and
vegetables to the deer and led it to the small fountain to drink clean
drinking water.After spending a pleasant afternoon here， the dear
returned to the forest.
