15forscientificresearch.”可知，在湿地公园里，有广泛的高山草甸、湿地蕨类植物和一些动物，这些对科学研究很有价值，并没有提及这些动植物罕见。故D项并不准确。23.C。文章出处题。根据第一段中的“WehaveselectedthreegorgeousfilmlocationsinChina.Ifyou＇reafilmfanoranoutdoorenthusiast，checkthemout！”可知，影迷和户外爱好者会对本文介绍的三个电影拍摄地感兴趣，文章应该出自一本旅游杂志。B【语篇导读】本文介绍了福州茉莉花茶香化技术的实践者陈承忠以及茉莉花茶的制作过程。24.C。写作意图题。本文第一段段首用著名的中国民歌《茉莉花》来引出同样闻名的传统制作的茉莉花茶，进而进入文章正题：福州茉莉花茶香化技术的实践者陈承忠以及茉莉花茶的制作过程。25.D。细节理解题。从第四段第一句“ThehotandhumidclimateandtheredsoilinEastChina＇sFujianprovinceprovidefavorableconditionsforjasmineandteaplantstothrive，becomingthehigh-qualityingredientsthatareneededforJasminetea.”可以看出，是中国东部福建省的湿热气候和红色的土壤为茉莉花和茶树的茁壮成长提供了有利条件，使之成为制作茉莉花茶所需的优质原料。26.C。细节理解题。从第三段最后一句“Andthegreentealeavesfromthespringharvestarestoreduntilthemostfragrantjasmineblossomsinlatesummer.”可看出A项错误。从第六段中的“ittakesatleastninescentingprocessestoproduceJasmineteaofasuperbgrade”可看出B项错误。从第三段中的“Thenaturalscentingprocessconsumesfreshjasmineblossoms，pickedduringthedaytimewhenthebudsareclosed，Chensaid.”可看出D项错误。从文中第五段可以得出C项为正确选项。27.B。细节理解题。从文章最后一段最后一句“＂Likemyfather，Ialsohopetopracticethistraditionalskillthathasprofoundculturaldeposits，andpassiton，＇ChenZhengsaid.”可以看出，陈正希望像他的父亲一样践行这项有着深厚文化底蕴的传统技艺，并传承下去。C

16【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了中国北京师范大学杨赛霓教授及其同事进行的一项研究，该研究通过对1979年到2019年间的全球气象数据进行分析，目的在于确认亚马孙雨林地区和其他地区是否在气温和降雨方面存在相互影响的关系，并提出了一个新的发现-亚马孙雨林的快速焚毁或滥伐可能影响远在15,000千米以外的青藏高原地区的气温和降雨（量）。此外，文中也引用了其他国家科研人员对于此研究及其发现的不同观点。28．A。细节理解题。根据第二段第三句中的“TheyfocusedontheAmazonrainforestinparticularbecauseofitssignificanceasamajorcarbonsink”可知，正确答案为A。29．B。段落大意题。根据第三段第一句的主干“Theresearchersfoundthat．．．”可知，正确答案为B。30．C。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“moreprecipitationintheAmazonrainforestwasassociatedwithlessprecipitationinthoseregions”可知，正确答案为C。31．C。推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“IftheAmazonrainforestdoeshaveaninfluenceontheseregions,however,itcouldmeanthereisahigherriskthattheAmazonrainforesttippingpointmightsetothersoff”可知，亚马孙雨林发生质的颠覆性变化有一个前提条件，那就是它确实对这些地区有影响，而对于这一点，科学家仍然有争议；根据倒数第二段VictorBrovkin的观点可知，正确答案为C。D【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。本文选自TheEconomist（13Nov．2022），文章介绍了英国研究者开始了世界首个实验室培养“人工血液”的临床试验。32．A。词义猜测题。根据第二段可知，stemcells（干细胞）被放在nutrientsolutions（营养液）中进行培育，被培养成reticulocytes（网织红细胞），被输注后快速转化成redbloodcells（血红细胞），故选A。therealMcCoy在字典中释义如下：（informal）somethingthatisgenuineandthathasvalue，notacopy真货；真品。IfyoudescribesomeoneorsomethingastherealMcCoy，youmeanthattheyreallyarewhattheyclaimtobeandarenotaimitation（仿制品，赝品）．该词来源有三种说法：（1）来源于美国一位名McCoy的拳击冠军，他通过拳击向质疑者证明了自己的身份，他们终于承认他是真正的McCoy；（2）该词与美国禁酒令时期的一个叫McCoy的私酒贩子有关；（3）该词来自从格拉斯哥出口到美国的上好威士忌（whisky）。33．B。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句和第三段第一句可知A还有待测试，正是研究者们所期待的；根据第三段倒数第二、三句可知有blooddisorder的人可能会需要经常输血，作为后果，其中一部分人铁过剩，从而产生严重的并发症或形成抗体，并非大多数，因此排除C；根据第一段第一句可知D时态错误；根据最后一段中的“thosepossessingrare

17bloodtypesbeingattheheadofthequeue”可知有罕见血型的受血者排在等候人工血液输注的前列，所以相比于其他人，被优先选中的可能性更大。故选B。34．D。推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，如果一切顺利，这项试验将扩大志愿者人数，但在这种方法被实际应用之前，还需要开展更大规模的试验，包括在真正的患者身上试验。即使到那时，这项技术也只会让少数人受益-排在队伍最前面的那些血型罕见的人。除非出现一些未预见的技术突破，否则大批量生产这种细胞颇具挑战性。故选D。35．B。主旨大意题。通读全文可知，英国研究者开始了世界首个实验室培养“人工血液”的临床试验。研究者从捐献者血液中分离出干细胞，在体外人工培养分化，然后用收获的红细胞制成了这种人工血液。目前，已经有两位健康受试者接受了人工血液的输注。故选B。第二节【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主题语境为人与自我。文章介绍了一些缓解社交焦虑的方法。第一段提出话题，后面四段介绍了具体的方法。36．F。本空为承上启下句。前面讲社交焦虑的症状，下文介绍缓解社交焦虑的方法，所以选择F。“无论你有哪些症状，总有些你可以做的事情来缓解你的社交焦虑。”37．D。本空为过渡句。本段介绍缓解焦虑方法之“深层肌肉放松”，根据前一句“学会进行身体放松是对抗焦虑的最佳方法之一”，以及后一句对“深层肌肉放松法”的陈述可知D最合适，“人不可能同时感受到放松和焦虑”意为，一旦你的肌肉得到放松，焦虑就得以缓慢。38．G。本空为该段主题句。根据小标题“放慢呼吸”以及第一个小标题的主题句“······是最佳方法之一”可知G最合适。“当你感到焦虑时，控制自己的呼吸是舒缓情绪的另一个好方法。”39．C。本空为段尾句。上文主要介绍了“视觉化”的关键和具体方法，本句进一步补充“这一方法需要足够的训练和耐心”。40．A。本空考查小标题。根据下文关键词“byfacingyouranxiety”可知。第三部分语言运用第一节

18【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Noreis75岁高龄开始从事滑雪运动的事迹。讲述了Noreis从一名初学者到技术娴熟的滑雪者的经历，以及她身上体现出的与年轻人一样的勇敢和热情。41．C。原词复现，考查熟词生义，run此处意为“赛道，滑道”。42．D。根据上下文，此处join意为“加入到······之中”。43．A。考查词组的意思。takeup开始从事，bringin引进；赚钱，giveaway捐赠；泄露，fallon（责任或工作）落在（某人身上）。44．B。考查熟词生义。work此处意为“耕种”。45．A。根据上下文逻辑关系，此处encouragedby意为“受到鼓励”。46．D。根据上下文逻辑关系，此处指第一天并不容易。47．B。根据上下文语境，后文有intermediateruns和advancedruns，此处应该为初学者滑道。48．C。根据上下文语境，后文有difficulties，此处意为所遇到的困难，障碍。故选barriers。49.A。根据语句逻辑，此处意为技能源于练习。50.B。考查熟词生义。tell此处意为“分辨”，A选项意为“承认”。51.D。根据上下文语境，此处指滑得与年轻人一样熟练，expertly意为“熟练地，专业地”。52.C。根据上下文语境，此处意为尽可能久地滑雪。53.A。考查词组的意思。inarow连续地，asawhole作为一个整体，byaccident偶然，byallmeans务必，一定。54.C。根据上下文语境，此处指健康和快乐。55.D。根据前文高龄开始滑雪，此处指Noreis勇敢和积极乐观。第二节【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了杭州准备搭建一条沟通它与安徽黄山市的生态文化长廊，以及打造它的历史和现实意义。56.areincluded。考查谓语动词。根据句意可知用被动语态，且主语为复数。57.linking。考查非谓语动词。主语是trail“小路”，所以是“路连接了两个地区”。因此要用现在分词表主动。

1958.between。考查介词。因为要表达“两地之间交换商品”，所以用between。59.havepreserved/havebeenpreserving。考查谓语动词。根据Overtheyears可知用现在完成时。又由于上下文没有限制是否一直持续进行，因此也可以用现在完成进行时。60.that/which。考查定语从句。此处需要用定语从句来限定修饰先行词thewindsofchange。61.beingtreated。考查非谓语动词。根据and的并列关系以及上下文可知此处要用beingtreated。62.an。考查冠词。由于这里的engine是首次提到，因此用不定冠词泛指“一个”。63.as/because/since/for。考查引导词。根据句意，这里需要引导一个原因状语从句。64.addition。考查词性转换。inaddition意为“另外”。65.harmonious。考查词性转换。此处修饰名词relationship，故要用harmony的形容词形式。第四部分写作第一节【参考范文】NoticeToraisetheawarenessofcaringforthedisadvantagedgroups，ourschoolistoorganizeacharitydonationat5:30p.m.nextThursdayinthegymandappealstousstudentstoparticipate.Allclassesaresupposedtoarrangeforthreevolunteerstoacceptthedonateditemsandregistertherelevantdetailedinformationofthedonors.Inaddition，therewillbenolimitstothedonation，thatis，neworsecond-handoneswillbeequallywelcomed.Giveawayrosesandfragranceremains.Lookingforwardtoyourearnestparticipation.TheStudents＇Union一、评分原则1.本题总分为15分，按5个档次给分。2.评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量、确定或调整档次，最后给分。3.词数少于60或多于100的，从总分中减去2分。
