A short cooking video posted by a netizen on Tiktok has recently become a popular hit on the site. Bearing the
tag “Chinese food”, the video not only showed off the chief’s superb skills in making Chinese dishes, but it also got
netizens abroad wanting to get a taste of China’s unique food culture.
Although the video was nothing master-level, just a rather standard homemade fried potato dish, it received
more than 200,000 likes after only three days of posting. In addition to praising the chef, commenters wondered
why such a simple Chinese dish could look like a fancy cuisine that had been made through tons of effort. “Even
the most basic Chinese dish needs to have three elements: color, smell and taste. For example, color not only
requires a chef to have sharp eyes, but also valuable experience,” said Wang, an experienced Chinese chef in
Guangzhou.
Chinese cooking is not the only type of content covered by the tag. Other popular videos under the tag include
“odd food” challenges, traditional Chinese dishes and Chinese snack tasting, the latter of which has become
particularly popular among young omnivore vloggers (video bloggers) living in a world of continually expanding
cultural globalization.
“I have been a fan of Chinese food ever since my Chinese friend cooked me di san xian at university. I was
surprised by the dish’s taste and its look, which was very different from my home food, but felt it was very familiar
to me because I noticed we share similar cooking skills,” said Bianca, an Italian Asian food fan.
“I started my channel by recording my roommate tasting my cooking. These videos got likes and comments
gradually. Seeing some people commenting in German or English and saying ‘I want to try it’, I felt these videos
can narrow the gap between the two cultures,” said Mr. Bear, a vlogger on Bilibili who promotes Chinese cooking.
24. What does the underlined word “omnivore” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. People eating meat.
B. People eating vegetables.
C. People eating diverse food.
D. People eating Chinese food.
25. What does Bianca think of Chinese food?
A. Common and dear.
B. Special and familiar.
C. Weird and delicious.
D. Similar and disconnected.
26. What does Mr. Bear mean in the last paragraph?
A. The majority of his fans tasted the food he cooked.
B. His roommate encouraged him to cook Chinese food.
C. He is an expert determined to become a Chinese chef.
D. His videos make a difference to cultural communication.
27. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Chinese culture has aroused people’s interest overseas.
B. The video is more master-level than a standard homemade.
C. Basic Chinese dish has three elements: color, smell and taste.
D. Chinese cooking has become popular among young vloggers.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了中国烹饪在年轻的博主中很受欢迎，中国饮食文化成为了全球
化的一个组成部分。
【24 题详解】
词义猜测题。分析划线词所在句子“Other popular videos under the tag include “odd food” challenges, traditional
Chinese dishes and Chinese snack tasting, the latter of which has become particularly popular among
young omnivore vloggers (video bloggers) living in a world of continually expanding cultural globalization.”可
知，该句子中包含一个定语从句，the latter of which 指代的是“Chinese snack tasting”，但中国小吃不只包
含蔬菜和肉类，因此 A 项（吃肉的人）和 B 项（吃蔬菜的人）都不能解释划线词，而“ vloggers”的后置
定语是“living in a world of continually expanding cultural globalization（生活在一个不断扩展的文化全球化世
界中）”，因此博主也不能仅限于吃中国食物的人们，因此 C 项（吃各种各样食物的人们）可以解释划线
词。故选 C。
【25 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“ “I have been a fan of Chinese food ever since my Chinese friend cooked me di san
xian at university. I was surprised by the dish’s taste and its look, which was very different from my home food, but
felt it was very familiar to me because I noticed we share similar cooking skills,” said Bianca, an Italian Asian food
fan.”可知，意大利亚洲美食迷 Bianca 说“从我的中国朋友在大学里给我做地三鲜以来，我一直是中国菜的
爱好者。这道菜的味道和外观与我的家常食物有很大不同，这令我感到惊讶，但我又觉得我对它非常熟悉，
因为我注意到我们使用类似的烹饪技能”。由此可知，Bianca 认为中餐很特别并且又对它有熟悉的感觉。
故选 B。
【26 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的““I started my channel by recording my roommate tasting my cooking. These
videos got likes and comments gradually. Seeing some people commenting in German or English and saying ‘I
want to try it’, I felt these videos can narrow the gap between the two cultures,” said Mr. Bear”可知，Mr. Bear 说
“我通过录制室友品尝我的烹饪作品来开办我的频道。这些视频逐渐受到人们的喜欢和评论。看到有人用
德语或英语发表评论并说‘我想尝试’时，我觉得这些视频可以缩小两种文化之间的差距。由此可知，Mr.
Bear 的视频对文化传播产生了影响。故选 D。
【27 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“A short cooking video posted by a netizen on Tiktok has recently become a popular
hit on the site. Bearing the tag “Chinese food”, the video not only showed off the chief’s superb skills in making
Chinese dishes, but it also got netizens abroad wanting to get a taste of China’s unique food culture.”可知，网友在
Tiktok 上发布的简短烹饪视频最近在该网站上很受欢迎。带有“中国菜”标签的视频不仅展示了厨师烹饪中
国菜的精湛技巧，而且还吸引了国外的网民，他们想感受一下中国独特的饮食文化。根据第三段的“Chinese
cooking is not the only type of content covered by the tag. Other popular videos under the tag include “odd food”
challenges, traditional Chinese dishes and Chinese snack tasting, the latter of which has become particularly
popular among young omnivore vloggers (video bloggers) living in a world of continually expanding cultural
globalization.”可知，中国烹饪不是该标签涵盖的唯一内容类型。标签下其他受欢迎的视频包括“奇特的食
物”挑战，传统的中式菜肴和中式小吃品尝，在一个不断扩展的文化全球化世界中，后者在年轻杂食视频
博主中尤为流行。由此可知，中国烹饪在年轻的博主中很受欢迎。故选 D。
C
Since 1998, when NASA kicked off the biggest search for near-Earth asteroids (小行星), scientists have
detected more than 25,000 of them. 2020 turned out to be a record year for discoveries. Despite the COVID-19
pandemic interrupting many of the surveys, astronomers recorded 2,958 previously unknown near-Earth asteroids
over the year.
A large number came from the Catalina Sky Survey, which uses three telescopes in Arizona to hunt for
threatening space rocks. Operations closed briefly last spring because of the pandemic. A wildfire in June caused a
longer closure, yet the Catalina survey still discovered 1,548 near-Earth objects.
These included a rare ‘mini-moon’ named 2020 CD3, a tiny asteroid less than 3 metres in diameter (直径) that
had been temporarily captured by Earth’s gravity. The mini-moon broke away from Earth’s pull last April.
Other discoveries last year, 1,152 came from the Pan-STARRS survey telescopes in Hawaii. The finds
included an object named 2020 SO, which turned out to be not an asteroid, but a leftover rocket booster that had
been circling around in space since it helped to launch a NASA mission to the Moon in 1966.
Some of the asteroids discovered last year came close to Earth. At least 107 of them passed the planet at a
distance less than that of the Moon. Last year’s narrow escapes included the tiny asteroid 2020 QG, which
skimmed just 2,950 kilometres above the Indian Ocean in August. That made it the closest known approach, a
record broken just three months later by another small object, 2020 VT4. That one passed less than 400 kilometres
from the planet, and wasn’t spotted until 15 hours after it had zipped by. Had it hit, it would probably have broken
apart in Earth’s atmosphere.
All of these discoveries are making astronomers more conscious of the ball objects of the Solar System, where
plenty of asteroids spin around in the space near Earth.
28. How many near-Earth asteroids might have flown past Earth in 2020?
A. More than 2,958.
B. 1,152.
C. More than 25,000.
D. 1,548.
29. What is 2020 SO in the fourth paragraph?
A. It’s an asteroid.
B. It’s space junk.
C. It’s a mini-moon.
D. It’s a NASA mission.
30. What may the discoveries of asteroids bring about?
A. Launching a new rocket.
B. Setting up a new space station.
C. Destroying the near-Earth asteroids.
D. Raising concern about the space.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The discovery was suspended due to the wildfire in June.
B. The scientists of NASA began the biggest search for asteroids.
C. The discoveries of the near-Earth asteroids hit a record high.
D. The astronomers renamed 2,958 newly-found near-Earth asteroids.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了近地小行星的发现情况。尽管受到新冠肺炎疫情的影响，天文学
家还是发现了超过 2958 个小行星。大部分小行星是通过卡特林那巡天系统和泛星系统发现的。同时，天文
学家也发现了部分小行星距离地球很近。所有这些发现都让天文学家对太阳系的球状物体有了更多的认识。
【28 题详解】
细 节 理 解 题 。 根 据 第 一 段 最 后 一 句 “Despite the COVID-19 pandemic interrupting many of the surveys,
astronomers recorded 2,958 previously unknown near-Earth asteroids over the year.”（尽管 COVID-19 大流行中
断了许多调查，但是天文学家在这一年中记录了 2958 颗以前未知的近地小行星。）可知，2020 年被发现的
近地小行星个数超过 2958，因此 2020 年飞过地球的近地小行星数量也是超过 2958 个的。故选 A 项。
【29 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“The finds included an object named 2020 SO, which turned out to be not an
asteroid, but a leftover rocket booster that had been circling around in space since it helped to launch a NASA
mission to the Moon in 1966.”（这些发现中包括一个被命名为 2020 SO 的物体，它后来被证明不是一颗小行
星，而是一枚残存的火箭助推器，自从它在 1966 年帮助美国宇航局完成登月任务以后就一直在太空中盘旋。）
可知，2020 SO 是太空垃圾。故选 B 项。
【30 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“All of these discoveries are making astronomers more conscious of the ball objects
of the Solar System, where plenty of asteroids spin around in the space near Earth. ”（所有这些发现都让天文学
家对太阳系的球状物体有了更多的认识，那里有大量的小行星在地球附近的太空中旋转。）可知，地球附近
的太空中很多小行星。根据倒数第二段可知一些小行星距离地球很近，如果小行星被击中，它可能会在地
球大气层中解体。由此推知，小行星的发现会引起人们对太空的关注。故选 D 项。
【31 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段最后两句“2020 turned out to be a record year for discoveries.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic interrupting many of the surveys, astronomers recorded 2,958 previously
unknown near-Earth asteroids over the year.”（2020 年是新发现最多的一年。尽管 COVID-19 大流行中断了许
多调查，但是天文学家在一年中记录了 2958 颗以前未知的近地小行星。）可知，本文主要介绍了近地小行
星的发现创历史新高，2958 颗近地小行星是被发现了。故选 C 项。
D
When I was younger, I thought science would make good things for everybody. It was obviously useful; it was
good. But then during the war I worked on the atomic bomb. This result of science was obviously very serious — it
represented the destruction of people and put our future at risk. I had to ask myself, “Is some evil involved in
science?” I thought long and hard about this question, and I will try to answer it in this talk.
The first way in which science is of value is familiar to everyone: scientific knowledge is an enabling power to
do either good or bad — but it does not carry instructions on how to apply it. Such power has obvious value —
even though the power may be denied by what one does with it.
Another value of science is the intellectual enjoyment it can provide us with. When we look at any question
deeply enough, we feel the excitement mystery coming into us again and again. With more knowledge comes a
deeper, more wonderful mystery, inspiring one to look deeper still. Never concerned that the answer may let us
down, with pleasure and confidence we turn over each new stone to find unimagined strangeness, just like opening
a box of chocolate.
I would now like to turn to a third value that science has. The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance
and doubt and uncertainty, and this experience is of great importance. When a scientist doesn’t know the answer to
a problem, he is ignorant. When he has an idea as to what the result is, he is uncertain. And when he is pretty sure
of what the result is going to be, he is still in some doubt.
Our freedom to doubt was born out of deep and strong struggle against authority in the early days of science.
In order to progress, we must not forget the importance of this struggle; we must recognize our ignorance and leave
room for doubt. Permit us to question — to doubt — to not be sure.
32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To blame science.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To doubt the value of science.
D. To emphasize the serious situation.
33. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author made an atomic bomb accidentally.
B. Scientists are short of knowledge and certainty.
C. Science is valueless if falling into the wrong hands.
D. Science generates wonderful questions and mysteries.
34. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Scientists are scared to question the authority.
B. Struggle is not necessary in the science research.
C. Challenging the authority always exists in science.
D. Sureness is an important factor to scientists’ success.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Value of Science.
B. The Uncertainty of Science.
C. The Power of Science.
D. The Destruction of Science.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了科学的价值以及科学中一直存在的怀疑精神。
【32 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““Is some evil involved in science?” I thought long and hard about this question, and I
will try to answer it in this talk.（我不得不问自己：“科学中有邪恶吗？”这个问题我想了很长时间，我会试
着在这次演讲中回答它。）”可知，作者以提问的方式引出科学中是否有邪恶这一话题，并且最后一句话引
出下文中可能讲到的内容，所以第一段的目的是引出主题。故选 B 项。
【33 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Another value of science is the intellectual enjoyment it can provide us with. When we
look at any question deeply enough, we feel the excitement mystery coming into us again and again.（科学的另一
个价值是它能给我们带来智力上的享受。当我们足够深入地看任何问题时，我们会感到兴奋的神秘一次又
一次地进入我们体内。）”可知，科学可以让我们深入的看待问题，进而让我们感受到神秘，这都是科学带
给我们的美好的感觉，因此 D 项“Science generates wonderful questions and mysteries.（科学产生了奇妙的问
题和谜团。）”符合题意。故选 D 项。
【34 题详解】
主旨大意题。最后一段“Our freedom to doubt was born out of deep and strong struggle against authority in the
early days of science…（我们怀疑的自由源于科学早期与权威的深刻而有力的斗争。……）”主要讲述挑战
权威在科学的早期就存在，而现在怀疑的自由也是源于早期对权威的挑战。C 项“Challenging the authority
always exists in science.（挑战权威在科学中总是存在的。）”是对最后一段的总结。故选 C 项。
【35 题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段引出主题，第二、三、四段“The first way in which science is of value is familiar to
everyone:…Another value of science is the intellectual enjoyment it can provide us with…I would now like to turn
to a third value that science has…”主要讲述了科学带来的价值，最后一段主要讲述科学中挑战权威一直存
在，所以可以看出，文章主要讲述了科学的价值。A 项“The Value of Science.（科学的价值）”总结了文章
的主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选 A 项。

It is commonly known that when people have disease or feel ill, they will have pills or go to see a doctor in the
hospital. They are accustomed to seeing a human doctor. However, have you tried seeing a doctor that is not a
human being?

horse who used to compete professionally with his trainer Hassen Bouchakour. Now, he’s comforting patients and
family members alike.
___37___ The staff in the French hospital always call him “Doctor”. His trainer Hassen Bouchakour says that

After a few years of research, vets believe Peyo’s brain functions in a unique sympathy-rich way.
In the hospital, Peyo goes from door to door in the care center. He has been highly effective for reducing
patients’ stress and relieving anxiety for their family members as well. According to doctors, they knew how
beneficial Peyo’s presence was by observation. ___38___
Peyo has stayed with many patients right until the end of their lives. One patient, Daniel, was a former athlete.
_____39_____ When he passed away this year, his family requested that the horse accompany his coffin to the
funeral.

【答案】36. F 37. E 38. G 39. D 40. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文，讲述了一匹马在医院当“医生”，陪伴病人的故事。
【36 题详解】
根据上文“Many hospitals employ therapy dogs to comfort and inspire patients. (许多医院使用治疗犬来安慰和
鼓舞病人)”和下文“Peyo is a 15-year-old horse who used to compete professionally with his trainer Hassen
Bouchakour. Now, he’s comforting patients and family members alike. (Peyo 是一匹 15 岁的马，曾经和他的教练
Hassen Bouchakour 一起进行职业比赛。现在，他正在安慰病人和家属)”可知，设空前说医院常用狗狗来安
慰病人，而空格后却说到一匹马被用来安慰病人，前后语义有转折关系。F 项“However, in a French hospital,
a different animal wanders in the halls. (然而，在一家法国医院里，另一种动物在大厅里闲逛)”表达了转折，
承上启下，引出另一种动物——马。故选 F 项。
【37 题详解】
根据下文“The staff in the French hospital always call him ‘Doctor ’. (法国医院的工作人员总是叫他‘医
生’)”和“Peyo seemed to seek out contact specifically with those struggling physically or mentally. (Peyo 似乎
有意寻求与那些身体或精神上挣扎的人的接触)”可知，Peyo 像一名医生一样，主动去发现病人。E 项“Peyo
seems specially gifted for detecting the sick or injured. (贝约似乎在发现病人和伤者方面很有天赋)”表达了相
似意义，且句中 detecting the sick or injured 与下文 seek out contact specifically with those struggling physically
or mentally 相照应。故选 E 项。
【38 题详解】
根据上文“According to doctors, they knew how beneficial Peyo’s presence was by observation. (据医生说，他们
通过观察知道 Peyo 的存在有多大的好处)”可知，Peyo 在医院的存在会给病人带来好处。G 项“They noticed
patients interacting with him more required fewer strong drugs. (他们注意到，与它互动的病人需要的强效药物
更少)”对上文提到的 beneficial 进行了更具体的阐述——需要的强效药物更少，是对上文的进一步说明。故
选 G 项。
【39 题详解】
根据下文“When he passed away this year, his family requested that the horse accompany his coffin to the funeral.
(今年他去世时，他的家人要求这匹马陪着他的完成葬礼)”可知，Peyo 与 Daniel 的关系非同一般以致于
Daniel 的家人要求葬礼上 Peyo 要全程陪伴。D 项“He gradually developed a very close connection with Peyo.
(他逐渐与 Peyo 建立了非常密切的关系)”为 Daniel 的家人的做法提供了解释，构成因果关系。故选 D 项。
【40 题详解】
上文“Animals are born with power to comfort us. (动物生来就有安慰我们的能力)”讲动物具有安慰人类的
能力，A 项“Even during the most difficult times, they may help. (即使在最困难的时候，他们也会为你提供帮
助)”对这种能力进行了进一步说明，两句之间有递进关系。故选 A 项。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My parents and I had just driven down the narrow mountain road from Marrakesh with all its sharp bends, and
had finally arrived at Merzouga. Before us stretched the unending sand dunes (沙丘) that marked the beginning of
the Sahara.
Our vehicle set off, quietly running over the sand and small stones. It wasn’t long before we were surrounded
by enormous sand dunes, towering above us on all sides. The wind was blowing grains of sand from the tops of the
dunes, the sun was beating down hard and bright, and the sky was a deep shade of blue that I had never seen before.
The wild beauty of the desert was about to reveal itself. There was not a plant to be seen. The desert appeared
completely empty, which was calming and threatening at the same time.
Eventually, as the last rays of sunlight were falling on the sand, we arrived at our desert camp. Stars were
already shining brightly in the darkening sky and it was getting cold with the approach of the night. I grabbed my
bag and headed towards the warm campfire. I was starving and rushed to put a steak on the barbecue. We enjoyed
two days in the camp with camel riding and campfire parties before we set off for Kenya.
A few days after our departure from the camp, we were very near to our rest camp in the Amboseli National
Park. Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, rose up over the plains before us. Tall grasses and trees
dotted the plains, which were alive with the African wildlife. Giraffes, with their long necks, were pulling leaves
from the highest branches. In the distance, elephants were eating grass, ears flapping lazily as they moved slowly
over the plains.
The rest camp was in sight. Several huts made from brick settle across a large pool of water. The walls
reflected the afternoon sun. My father, against my mother’s advice, decided to drive through the pool of water that
stretched across the dirt road.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then, our car was truly stuck in the mud.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
We got out of the car.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
【答案】Then, our car was truly stuck in the mud. We tried hard to push the car out of the mud, but in vain. We
needed two boards long enough to help the wheels move. Luckily, we were not far away from the camp. We called
the manager of the camp for help. After a few moments, two local men drove over with necessary equipment and
pushed us free. Thankfully, with the local men guiding, we drove on to the parking lot next to our hut.
We got out of the car. We were amazed to find many monkeys jumping up and down in the trees. After
carrying our suitcases and boxes of food into the hut, I returned to the car and fetched more possessions. It was then
that I noticed a small grey monkey sitting on a tree a few metres away and eating a banana. “So cute,” I thought to
myself, until I realized it was my banana that he was eating! What an experience！
