D.Actionsspeaklouderthanwords.【答案】4.D5.A6.D7.A【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是CashDaniels热爱大自然，他从7岁开始就对保护地球充满了热情，他先从清理河流沿岸开始，并将此发展成一项人们可以广泛参与的活动。他被评选为2021年美国十大青年志愿者之一。【4题详析】词句猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词之前“HegrewupfishingalongtheChattanoogaRiver,afterall!Butoncehelearnedthat80percentofalltrashfromlandandriversendsupintheocean,hecouldn’t...(毕竟，他是在Chattanooga河边钓鱼长大的！但当他了解到80%来自陆地和河流的垃圾最终都进入了海洋后，他就不能……)”以及第三段开头“Hestartedwithcleanupsalongtheriver,somethingthatquicklywentfromafamilyaffairtoacommunityeffortwithvolunteersandneighbors.(他从清理河流开始，这件事很快就从家庭事务变成了志愿者和邻居的社区努力。)”可知，当CashDaniels看到了解到80%来自陆地和河流的垃圾最终都进入了海洋以后，他开始对河流岸边的垃圾进行了清理，最终这件事成为了人们可以广泛参与的活动，由此可以推测CashDaniels对于最终都进入了海洋的垃圾没有置之不理，而是采取了积极的行动，所以划线词的意思与D项putitononeside(视而不见)意思相近，故选D项。【5题详析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“‘Wewanttoinformkidsandadultsinthelandlockedstatesonhowtheiractionsareconnectedtothewaterandtheocean,’Cashsaid.(卡什说：‘我们想让内陆各州的孩子和成年人了解他们的行为与水和海洋的关系。’)”可知，theCleanupKids的目的是让内陆各州的孩子和成年人了解他们的行为与水和海洋的关系，即呼吁人们保护海洋。故选A项。【6题详析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Cash,whoisnowknownasthe‘conservationkid’,hasalwayslovednature.HegrewupfishingalongtheChattanoogaRiver,afterall!Butoncehelearnedthat80percentofalltrashfromlandandriversendsupintheocean,hecouldn’tsitback.(Cash现在被称为‘环保孩子’，他一直热爱大自然。毕竟，他是在Chattanooga河边钓鱼长大的！但当他了解到80%来自陆地和河流的垃圾最终进入海洋时，他不能坐视不管。)”可知，Cash热爱大自然，关心环境，所以他是富有同情心的，根据文章最后一段“‘Iwanttotraveltheworld,teachothers,andhelpthemfeelconnectedtotheocean.Becauseifyouareconnectedtotheocean—ifyouloveitandwhatlivesinit—you’llwanttoprotectit,’hesaid.‘Thisismyfun,anditbecomesmorefunwitheverynewdiscovery.’(‘我想环游世界，教别人，帮助他们感受到与海洋的联系。因为如果你和海洋有联系——如果你爱它和它的生物——你就会想要保护它，’他说。‘这是我的乐趣，随着每一个新发现，它变得更加有趣。’)”可知，Cash想要环游世界，教育别人，帮助他们感受到与海洋的联系，所以他是有奉献精神的。故选D项。【7题详析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Whenmostkidsgotothebeach,they’retoofocusedonmakingsandcastlesandsplashingaroundtonoticelitter,butseveralyearsago,for7-year-oldCashDaniels,noticingaplasticstrawsparkedalifelongpassionforsavingtheplanet.(当大多数孩子去海滩时，他们太专注于堆沙堡和溅水，而没有注意到垃圾，但几年前，对7岁的Cash来说，注意到一根塑料吸管激发了他毕生拯救地球的热情。)”以及文章最后一段“‘Iwanttotraveltheworld,teachothers,andhelpthemfeelconnectedtotheocean.Becauseifyouareconnectedtotheocean—ifyouloveitandwhatlivesinit—you’llwanttoprotectit,’hesaid.‘Thisismyfun,anditbecomesmorefunwitheverynewdiscovery.’(‘我想环游世界，教别人，帮助他们感受到与海洋的联系。因为如果你和海洋有联系——如果你爱它和它的生物——你就会想要保护它，’他说。‘这是我的乐趣，随着每一个新发现，它变得更加有趣。’)”以及其他段落的内容可知，一根塑料吸管激发了Cash拯救地球的热情而这种热情进而转化成了他的梦想，所以Cash的故事暗示了激情可以点燃梦想。故选A项。CAnewstudyinvolvingnearly50.000peoplefromfourcontinentsoffersnewinsightsintoidentifyingthequantityofdailywalkingstepsthatwillbestimproveadults’healthandlongevity（长寿）,andwhethertheidealnumberofstepsdiffersacrosspeopleofdifferentages.Thestudyrepresentsanefforttodevelopanevidence-basedpublichealthmessageaboutthebenefitsofphysicalactivity.Theoften-repeated10.000-step-a-daysayinggrewoutofadecades—oldmarketingactivityforaJapanesepedometer（计步器）,withnosciencetobackitup.LedbyphysicalactivityprofessorAmandaPaluch,aninternationalgroupofscientistsconductedanexperimentamongadultsaged18andolder.Theygroupedthenearly50,000participantsintofourcomparativegroupsaccordingtoaveragestepsperday.Theloweststepgroupaveraged3,500steps;thesecond.5,800;thethird.7,800;andthefourth,10,900stepsperday.Amongthethreehigheractivegroups,therewasa40-53%lowerriskofdeath,comparedtotheloweststepgroup.Morespecifically.foradults60andolder,theriskofearlydeathevenedoutatabout6,000-8,000stepsperday.meaningthatmorestepsthanthatprovidednoadditionalbenefitforlongevity,whileforadultsyoungerthan60,about8,000-10,000stepsperday.“So,whatwesawwasthiscontinuingreductioninriskasthenumberofstepsincreases,untilitlevelsof.Interestingly,thestudyfoundnodefinitiveassociationwithwalkingspeed.”Paluchsays.ThenewstudysupportsandexpandsfindingsfromanotherstudyledbyPaluchbefore,whichfoundthatwalkingatleast7,000stepsadayreducedmiddle-agedpeople’sriskofearlydeath.“There’salotofevidencesuggestingthatmovingevenalittlemoreisbeneficial,particularlyforthosewhoaredoingverylittleactivity.Paluchsays.”Morestepsperdayarebetterforyourhealth.”8.Whydidthescientistscarryoutthenewstudy?A.Toknowaboutpeople’shealthcondition.B.Toexplainthepedometer’sworkingprinciples.C.Todeterminethebestphysicalactivityforpeople.D.Toprovideascientificguidelineondailywalking.9.Whatdoestheunderlinedwords“evenedout”inparagraph3mean?A.turnedhigher.

方。)”是并列关系。故选B项。【18题详析】由上文“Scheduledaccommodationscanmakeyoulessnervous.(安排好的住宿可以让你不那么紧张)”可知，这里指出要安排好住宿，再结合上文“Inaddition,whenyoubookyourhotel(另外，当你预订酒店时)”和下文“Bydoingit,youwon’tbelost(这样你就不会迷路了)”可知，空处指出在订酒店时如何做能使自己不迷路，所以C项“askiftheywillsendadrivertopickyouup(询问他们是否会派司机来接你)”符合语境。故选C项。【19题详析】此处是本段小标题，根据下文“Ifyou’regoingtoatouristyplacelikeThailand,therearelotsofotherpeoplewhoaretravelingalone.Mostlikely,they’llbeeasytotalktoandthey’llwanttocommunicate.Theymightalsoaskyoutojointhemfordinnerorabeer.Thathappensalot.(如果你要去一个像泰国这样的旅游胜地，那里有很多独自旅行的人。最有可能的是，他们很容易沟通，他们想要交流。他们也可能邀请你和他们一起吃晚饭或喝啤酒。这种事经常发生)”可知，这里主要讲要主动与他人交流，所以A项“Tobeatalkativeperson(做一个健谈的人)”符合语境，能概括本段内容。故选A项。【20题详析】由上文“Yourfamilyandfriendsloveyouandprobablyworryaboutyoueveryday.Whatifyouaretravellingaloneforalongtimewithoutkeepingintouchwiththem?(你的家人和朋友爱你，可能每天都在担心你。如果你独自旅行很长一段时间而没有和他们保持联系怎么办？)”可知，这里提出问题：如果你独自旅行很长一段时间而没有和家人朋友保持联系怎么办，空处应该对此进行回答，所以D项“Sotextthemandletthemknowwhatyou’reuptothroughoutyourtrip.(所以，给他们发短信，让他们知道你在整个旅行中都在做什么)”符合语境，和上文构成一问一答。故选D项。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Duringmychildhood,therewasanunforgettablemomentthatchangedmylife.Myfamilylivedwithmygrandmainthecharmingoldhouse.Thepropertywas____21____byavegetablegardenandanabundanceoffruittreesandflowersdecoratingthearea.Itwasaplaceofremarkable____22____particularlyinspringandsummer.Grandmabaddozensof____23____plants.Shewouldputthemoutdoors,waterthemandtalkwiththem.Inwinter,shewouldcarrytheplantsinthepots____24____toavoidcold.Theplantswerealiveandevengrewwithwarmth.Inspring,they____25____becametaller,buttheydidn’tflower.Soontheyweresodensethattheyformedanaturalbarrier.Iwas____26____bytheeffortthatmygrandmahad____27____inthoseplants.Plantingthefruittreesandflowersaroundthehousewas____28____—theywereusefulandsmeltgood.ButIdidn’tknowwhyshegrewsomanynon-floweringplants.Tomyyoungmind,itremaineda____29____.Oneday,Iaskedmygrandma,“Whyareyou____30____theseplantssopatiently?Theydon’tgiveusfoodorflowers.”Shesmiledandsaid,“Theyremindmethateveninthedarkestmonths,there’salwayssomethingto____31____.Theybringmejoyasyoudo.SoIlookafterthemandtreatthemliketheappleofmyeye.”Thatmade____32____.ThenIunderstood.Today,Ihaveadifferent____33____ofGrandma’spottedplants.Herdevotiontotheplantsisa(n)____34____ofherloveforherfamily.Sheshowsmethatbeautyandstrengthcanbefoundinthe____35____time.Herlovecontinuestoencouragemeallthetimeespeciallyinadversity.21.A.surrounded
