B
Since the day the car and the airplane coexisted people have dreamed of combining them into one all purpose,
go—anywhere, do—anything vehicle. However, there are a lot of reasons why cars and airplanes have yet to join
forces.
They have very different needs, like the number of wheels. The four wheels on a car distribute its weight and
provide traction and stability. A 3-wheeled car is much more likely to roll when taking a turn at high speed. But
airplanes have 3 wheels because when they’re on the ground they don’t need to take turns at speed, so a 4th wheel
would just be unnecessary weight. Tricycle wheel arrangements are also better suited to landing in crosswinds.
Aircraft also have other needs like wings. Whether they’re fixed wings like an airliner or rotary wings like a
helicopter, to generate enough lift they have to be much larger than the restricted freeway lanes and parking spaces
would allow. So most designs for flying cars have wings that are either detachable (可拆卸的)or foldable.
That hasn’t stopped some people from trying, and now one Dutch company, PAL-V, thinks their Liberty design
has made flying cars a practical reality.
In 2005, the company discovered the work of another Dutch company, Carver, which made 3-wheeled cars
that leaned like motorcycles. As for generating lift, PAL-V chose a rotary design called autogyro. Unlike a
helicopter, the rotor (旋转翼)of an autogyro is unpowered in flight. Instead, the air flowing over it causes it to spin
and generate lift. Autogyros also have short takeoff and landing requirements, so setting one down in an emergency
is less dangerous than in a fixed-wing aircraft.
The Liberty received road certification in Europe in October of 2020, hoping to deliver to their first customers
starting in 2022.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了导致汽车和飞机还没有联合起来的原因并介绍了一款飞行
汽车。
4.What can be learned from Paragraph 1?
A. Flying cars have long been dreamed of by humans.
B. The coexistence of cars and airplanes satisfies people.
C. The car and the airplane are less popular nowadays.
D. Cars and airplanes were invented at the same time.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Since the day the car and the airplane coexisted people have dreamed of
combining them into one all purpose, go — anywhere, do — anything vehicle.”(自从汽车和飞机同时
存在的那一天起,人们就梦想着把它们组合成一个具有所有目的,可以去任何地方,做任何事的
交通工具。)可推知,飞行汽车一直是人类的梦想。故选 A。
5.Why are the needs like wings and the number of wheels mentioned?
A. To compare vehicles like cars and airplanes. B. To explain the functions of wings and wheels.
C. To present two major problems to be solved. D. To show the basic rules of vehicle designs.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“However, there are a lot of reasons why cars and airplanes have yet to
join forces.”(然而,有很多原因导致汽车和飞机还没有联合起来)和文章第二段“They have very
different needs, like the number of wheels.”(它们有非常不同的需求,比如车轮的数量)以及文章第三
段“Aircraft also have other needs like wings.”(飞机还有其他需要,比如机翼)可推知,提出了机翼和
车轮数量等需要是为了呈现需要被解决的两个主要问题。故选 C。
6.What is the advantage of Liberty over a traditional airliner?
A. It can be controlled more easily. B. Its take-off needs less space and time.
C. It consumes less power when flying. D. Its landing is less dangerous in emergency.

【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Autogyros also have short takeoff and landing requirements, so setting
one down in an emergency is less dangerous than in a fixed-wing aircraft.”(旋翼机也有短时间起飞和
降落的要求,所以在紧急情况下放下旋翼机比固定翼飞机危险小)可知,它的优势是在紧急情况下
着陆的危险性较小。故选 D。
7.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A. Europe gives Liberty a warm welcome. B. Flying cars will replace the other vehicles.
C. Liberty can be seen globally once marketed. D. PAL-V succeeds in making flying cars a reality.

company, PAL-V, thinks their Liberty design has made flying cars a practical reality.”(这并没有阻止一
些人尝试,现在一家荷兰公司 PAL-V 认为他们的 Livberty 的设计已经使飞行汽车成为现实)和文
章最后一段“The Liberty received road certification in Europe in October of 2020, hoping to deliver to
their first customers starting in 2022.”(Liberty 汽车于 2020 年 10 月在欧洲获得道路认证,希望从 2022
年开始交付给第一批客户)可知,PAL-V 成功地使飞行汽车成为现实。故选 D。
C
The technology of autonomous(自动驾驶的)vehicles (AVs)is advancing rapidly, but have we really thought
how they’ll work? In this report on AVs in Australia, Austroads paints both positive and negative scenarios(场
景)for the future.
The positive scenario suggests that AVs could reduce car ownership and use thanks to a large number of
shared and connected AVs. But for this scenario to work, AVs must be shared and not privately owned and there
must be a good enough public transport(运输)system, which is not the present situation in most Australian cities,
suggesting it’s unlikely that the arrival of AVs will reduce our dependence on private cars.
I once spoke to a group of car owners working outside the centre of Sydney, who used their cars to do all kinds
of things. They saw their cars as spaces of climate-controlled comfort, where they could have time alone, away
from busy lives. They also expressed a strong belief that Australians have a basic right to be comfortable, protected
and autonomously mobile.
Is public transport good enough? If AVs are to reduce car ownership and use, we will need to drive less than
we currently do. This requires other useful and reliable transport choices. Yet for many of us, taking public
transport remains difficult: we are car dependent because we have little choice.
However, AVs really have many advantages over private cars. AVs don’t need to be parked nearby to their
rider, and they can go off and park themselves wherever there’s a free space. Imagine the scenario of someone
currently driving 10km to work each day and paying $10 to park.
In the world of fully autonomous vehicles, they would certainly choose to save that $10 per day and have their
car drive them to work, drop them off, take itself home, only to return when the driver orders it to come at the end
of the day. That makes a 20 km a day or a 40 km a day. And imagine that for millions of households across the city.
In addition, AVs will ensure that time in the car is more pleasurable and useful. Being stuck in a traffic jam
might not be such a pain if you could be working, reading, watching a movie, having a coffee with friends, playing
with the dog, or starting Friday night drinks early.
So, when considering the influence of AVs, we need to be careful. The automotive(机动车辆的)industry is
powerful. We need to be prepared for AVs to strengthen, rather than replace, the present situation of car ownership
and use.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了有关澳大利亚自动驾驶汽车的优缺点和前景,并和现有交通方
式进行比较。
8.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Australians depend heavily on their cars. B. Australians consider their cars as a burden.
C. Australians live a very busy and stressful life. D. Australians can not afford to own private cars.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“who used their cars to do all kinds of things.(用他们的车做各种各样
的事情。)”和后文的“They also expressed a strong belief that Australians have a basic right to be
comfortable, protected and autonomously mobile.(他们还表达了一种强烈的信念,即澳大利亚人拥有
舒适、受保护和自主移动的基本权利。)”可推知,澳大利亚人对汽车依赖度很高。故选 A。
9.What do we know about Australia’s public transport?
A. Many Australians still can’t benefit from it.
B. It is a reliable choice for the majority of people.
C. Much progress has been made in public transport.
D. Its convenience makes it favored by many Australians.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Yet for many of us, taking public transport remains difficult: we are car
dependent because we have little choice.(然而,对我们中的许多人来说,乘坐公共交通仍然很困难:
我们依赖汽车,因为我们别无选择。)可知,许多澳大利亚人仍然不能从公共交通中受益。故选 A。
10.According to the passage, compared with private cars, AVs ________.
A. will help their users make more friends.
B. can keep their users away from busy life.
C. will save their users’ trouble of parking cars.

park themselves wherever there’s a free space.(自动驾驶汽车不需要停在乘客身边,它们可以在任何
有空位的地方自行停车。)”可知,AVs 的优势在于停车方便,将为用户省去停车的麻烦。故选 C。
11.Which of the following does the author most probably agree with?
A. AVs will effectively solve all serious problems in cities.
B. AVs will completely replace the present situation of car use.
C. AVs will lead to a significant reduction in private car ownership.
D. AVs will probably increase the amount of driving instead of reducing it.
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We need to be prepared for AVs to strengthen, rather than replace, the
present situation of car ownership and use.(我们需要做好准备,让 AVs 加强而不是取代汽车拥有和
使用的现状。)”可知,自动驾驶汽车可能会增加而不是减少驾驶的数量。故选 D。

Copenhagen, voted as the "Best City for Cyclists" and "World’s Most Livable City", has a profound bicycle
culture, one that is rooted in almost every Copenhagener’s daily life.
For Copenhageners, bicycles are one of the best means of transportation. They are convenient, fast and
environmentally friendly. Every morning, when I head to school, I can see a great many cyclists from all age groups
riding their well-equipped and beautifully designed bicycles to school or work. What is most unbelievable for me is
that even those aged 70 or 80 still prefer biking as their main mode of transportation.
The Danes’ passion for bicycles is similar to the Chinese craze for ping-pong or Brazilians’ love of football;
many great cyclists arise in Denmark who have already achieved great success in the international sporting arena.
One example is Larsen Norman Hansen, a Danish professional road and track racing cyclist, who won one gold
medal and two silver medals in big events. In addition, bikes are also huge part of the recreational life of many
young Danes. One of my Danish friends, Laurits Genz, a 21-year-old Chinese studies student from Copenhagen
University, has a hobby of rebuilding old bicycles. He has collected many old bikes from a recycling station near
his home and completely restored them, giving them new parts and a fresh coat of paint. He believes that eventually,
all of these bikes with that "classic" look are going to be very sought after and valuable.
Some people might wonder why bike-related culture is so universal and popular in Copenhagen, but not as
much so in other parts of the world. I would name a couple of reasons: First of all, the infrastructure constructed in
Copenhagen is very cyclist friendly. On many roads in Copenhagen, if cyclists can ride their bikes at the speed of
20 kph and remain stable, they can surf through on a wave of green traffic lights through the city without putting a
foot down. It’s absolutely a great environment. Another factor is the government’s friendliness to cyclists. Because
of this government policy, bikers enjoy a sort of encouraged state of privilege(特权), meaning they will stick to this
means of transportation even during the coldest winter season. Danes’ tendency toward a healthy and
environmentally friendly lifestyle also lends itself to choosing cycling.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了哥本哈根,被评为“最适合骑自行车的城市”和“世界上最宜居的
城市”,有着深厚的自行车文化,这种文化几乎植根于哥本哈根人的日常生活中。
12.What makes the author feel most surprised according to Paragraph 2?
A. People aged 70 or 80 preferring biking. B. The advantages represented by bicycles.
C. The passion for bicycles shown by Danes D. Bike-related culture rooted in Danes’ daily life.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“What is most unbelievable for me is that even those aged 70 or 80 still
prefer biking as their main mode of transportation.(最让我难以置信的是,即使是那些 70 岁或 80 岁
的人仍然喜欢骑自行车作为他们的主要交通方式。)可知,70 岁或 80 岁的人更喜欢骑自行车让作
者感到非常惊讶。故选 A。
13.How many factors contribute to the popularity of riding bikes in Copenhagen?
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“First of all, the infrastructure constructed in Copenhagen is very cyclist
friendly.(首先,哥本哈根的基础设施非常适合骑自行车的人。)”、“Another factor is the government’s
friendliness to cyclists.(另一个因素是政府对骑自行车的人很友好。)”和“Danes’ tendency toward a
healthy and environmentally friendly lifestyle also lends itself to choosing cycling.(丹麦人倾向于健康
和环保的生活方式,这也使他们选择了骑自行车。)”可知,3 个因素促成了在哥本哈根骑自行车
的流行。故选 C。
14.What can we learn from the text?
A. Larsen Norman Hansen won three gold medals in big events.
B. Bicycles are the best means of transportation in Copenhagen.
C. Everyone in Denmark can rebuild old bicycles by themselves.
D. The government policy is in favor of this kind of transportation.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Another factor is the government’s friendliness to cyclists. Because of
this government policy, bikers enjoy a sort of encouraged state of privilege(特权), meaning they will
stick to this means of transportation even during the coldest winter season.(另一个因素是政府支持骑
骑自行车。由于政府的这项政策,骑自行车的人享有某种特权,这意味着即使在最冷的冬天,他
们也会坚持使用这种交通工具。)可知,政策支持这种运输方式。故选 D。
15.What does the underlined phrase “sought after” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Fashionable. B. Newly-designed. C. Popular. D. Well-equipped.
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。根据上文“He has collected many old bikes from a recycling station near his home and
completely restored them, giving them new parts and a fresh coat of paint.(他从他家附近的一个回收
站收集了很多旧自行车,并对它们进行了彻底修复,给它们更换了零部件,刷了一层新的油漆。)”
可推知,划线词所在句子意为“他相信,最终,所有这些具有“经典”外观的自行车都将非常受
欢迎和有价值。”sought after 意为“流行的”。故选 C。

【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。赵宗是一个来自河南省的 26 岁的小伙子。他推着轮椅带他的 97 岁的奶
奶在西安旅行。这成了社交媒体平台的一个焦点,得到了人们的点赞。
1.【答案】a
【解析】考查冠词。hit 为可数名词,表示“很受欢迎的人或事物”,become a hit“成了一个热门人物”,
故填 a。句意:赵宗,一位来自中国中部河南省的 26 岁男子,最近因为在山西省西安旅游时推
着他 97 岁的奶奶在轮椅上四处游玩而成为网络上的热门人物。
2.【答案】received
【解析】考查词性转换(动词)。根据上文 The behavior was pretty 可知应填形容词 received 作谓语,故填
received。句意:他的行为非常令人钦佩,在中国社交媒体平台微博上受到了无数人的点赞。
3.【答案】Departing
【解析】考查词性转换(动词)和非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知此处应该用非谓语动词形式作状语,且与
逻辑主语 Zhao 构成主动关系,故用现在分词。句首单词首字母要大写,故填 Departing。句意:
9 月 1 日出发前往目的地,赵花了将近一个星期的时间带着他的奶奶去了一些热门景点,比如兵
马俑。
4.【答案】with
【解析】考查介词。句意:他不想要他的祖母因为旅行感到劳累。结合句意表示“因……而劳累”短语为
be tired with,故填 with。
5.【答案】was raised
【解析】考查动词的时态和语态。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且此处陈述过去事实应用一般过
去时,主语为 Zhao,谓语动词用单数,故填 was raised。句意:赵是在爷爷奶奶家长大的。
6.【答案】variety
【解析】考查词性转换(名词)。句意:当他 3 岁的时候,他的父母由于各种原因不能照顾他,从那时起,
他和他的祖母住在一起。结合句意表示“各种各样的”短语为 a variety of,故填 variety。
7.【答案】why
【解析】考查名词从句。句意:那就是我对她有深厚感情的原因。结合句意表示“那就是为什么……;那
就是……的原因”句型为 that is why(引导表语从句)…,故填 why。
8.【答案】has been
【解析】考查动词的时态。根据时间状语 since I was in college 可知本句为现在完成时态,it 为单数主语,
所以助动词为 has,故填 has been。句意:自从我上大学以来,带祖母去旅行一直是我的梦想。
9.【答案】eventually
【解析】考查词性转换(副词)。修饰动词短语 come true 应用副词 eventually 作状语,表示“最后”,故填
eventually。句意:现在我很兴奋,我的梦想终于实现了。
10.【答案】to tour
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意:只要条件允许,赵接下来安排和奶奶一起去青岛看海,并希望能去中国
更多的地方。结合句意表示“安排做某事”短语为 arrange to do sth.,故填 to tour。

【答案】
Dear Zoey,
I am writing to tell you something about the present transportation in China.
First of all, the major transportation used in China are divided into two categories, including private ones,
which usually are referred to private cars and public ones, which commonly includes trains and airplanes. Secondly,
it is convenient for people to choose proper ways in their daily life. In most cases, they prefer to use private cars
when it is not too far or when they want to enjoy a short trip. However, taking time and distance into consideration,
they will travel by train or even by plane when efficiency is needed. Anyhow, nowadays, travelling by train or plane
is not as expensive as before and train in China develops so rapidly, widely known as Chinese Speed.
Hope to know some detail information about transportation in your country. Looking forward to your early
reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
写作(二)
Walter John was a 20-year-old college student from Homewood, Alabama. As a young man in college far
away from home, he didn’t have much money. He had to work part-time to cover his living costs.
Recently he gave up his part-time job in the fast-food business and found a new one at a home-moving
company called Bellhops. The pay for his new job was higher, and John gained more flexibility with his hours,
which allowed him to focus on his studies a bit more. He wanted to do everything he could to secure this new
employment opportunity, so he thought he had to try his best to make sure that everything would go well on his
first day!
But sometimes, life hits you unexpectedly. A day before John began his new job, his car broke down! With
little money to his name, he couldn’t have his car repaired at the garage. None of his friends were able to take him
to work. What was worse, the public transportation was not running at his working time. If he took a taxi, it
would cost him half his salary.
Therefore, he decided to walk to the company.
In order to get there by six in the morning, he thought that the safest way would be to leave at midnight.
John even challenged himself to arrive there one hour earlier. Even though it seemed like such a far walk, John
knew he was fit enough to do it. This was challenging, but John knew it was possible.
He grabbed his wallet and his phone and left his apartment. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he
realized that walking alone in the dark at midnight can be dangerous. Moreover, he had to walk through a large
wood as well as many blocks of the city. Therefore, he went back to take a bat (球棒)and a kitchen knife for
safety purposes. In case a wild animal or some bad person attacked him, at least he would have something for
protection.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右:

【答案】1
Paragraph 1:
Finally John started his long walk. A few hours into the trek, he saw eyes in the distance, so he grabbed his
bat before realizing it was just a stray dog. He walked across the street, hoping the dog wouldn’t bother him, and
he also picked up a ball and threw it in the opposite direction. It worked. John walked for three hours straight and
felt great about it. His legs burned a bit, but another three hours would hurt him. He thought a quick rest could
give him more energy, so it was a calculated decision to take a break.
Paragraph 2:
At that time, a car was drawing closer. When the driver, Mark, pulled up to John, he rolled down the window
and asked why he was all alone in the morning on the road. John told the Mark what he was doing. Impressed by
his story, Mark offered to give him a lift. Thanks to Mark’s help, John managed to make it to the destination at
5:30. With the sun peeking over the horizon, John’s face glowed with gratitude. Feeling energetic, he couldn’t
wait to get started.
【答案】2
Paragraph 1:
Finally John started his long walk. He walked nonstop and soon he was deep in the forest. Apart from the
creepy cry from owls and the rustling of trees, the wood was in a deathly silence. Unconsciously, he quickened up
and held onto the bat tightly. Abruptly, a terrible howl, from what sounded like a wolf, broke the silence and
startled him. He jumped up and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. He didn’t stop running until he saw a flash
of light at a distance, moving quickly towards him.
Paragraph 2:
At that time, a car was drawing closer. At the sight of John, the driver slowed down and stopped. He asked
cautiously, “What are you doing here at this time?” Hearing that there were probably wolves in the forest ahead,
the man immediately urged John to get in and turned around the car. After John told the man why he was in the
wood, the man burst into laughter, “I know your company, young man. I’m the boss. You see, I was just off work
when you went to work. Now, would you like to have breakfast together?”
