Emmoni Lopez used to take dance lessons while her older brothers wrestled – but it turned out that she liked wrestling better.
Her mom wasn’t surprised when Lopez told her she liked wrestling more than dance, and three years after Lopez took up the sport, she enjoys watching her daughter wrestle. Still, when a coach first asked Lopez to join his program, her mom hesitated– she never thought her daughter would want to be a wrestler.
Lopez is among a growing number of girls who are taking up wrestling. Officials with youth organizations in Chicago and the Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation （IKWF） said they’ve seen the number of girls participating in the sport take off in recent years.
In Lopez’s program, about half of the students participating in the organization’s free
youth wrestling camp this summer are girls, coach Frankie Zepeda said.
Many of the girls Zepeda sees become interested in wrestling through their brothers, he said.
“They probably just learn to … fight back,” he said.
One of those was Yamilet Aguirre. She took up wrestling because she was bored just watching her brother wrestle, she said.
“I can have fun doing it,” she said. “And I can prove girls are just as strong as boys are.”
Though girls have competed on high school wrestling teams in Illinois for years, coaches and female wrestlers said there weren’t many participating a decade ago.
“It’s really picked up over the last few years,” said Jim Considine, president of the IKWF.
Between the 202020┄2021 and 202020┄2021 seasons, the number of girls registered with IKWF grew from 363 to 503, and more of the organization’s events are featurin g a girls-only division. Girls and boys wrestle together during the season through IKWF, but there’s a girls-only championship at the end of the year.
And by adding female wrestling programs, colleges are giving girls and young women another option.
“Female wrestling isn’t something unacceptable anymore,” Considine said. “Things have happened so quickly. T en years ago, you’d never have dreamed of doing this.”
4. What has helped her take up wrestling, in Yamilet Aguirre’s case？
A. Her wish to be stronger than boys.
B. Her awareness to protect girls.
C. Her parents’ expectations.
D. The experience of watching wrestling competitions.
5. The underlined word “option” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. challenge
B. chance
C. choice
D. change
6. What can we learn about female wrestling in the US from the article？
A. Its popularity in college is declining.
B. It’s still unacceptable in many people’s eyes.
C. It has been accepted by colleges.
D. College girls like it less than dancing.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the text ？
A. A Female Sport Event
B. Not Just for Boys
C. The Great Sports Personality
D. Make Way for Male Wrestlers
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. B
【解析】

本文是一篇议论文。摔跤以前是男子项目，通过增加女子摔跤项目，大学为女孩和年轻女性提供了另一种选择。女性摔跤不再是不可接受的事情了。所以“不仅仅是男孩”。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第八段中And I can prove girls are just as strong as boys are.可知，在Yamilet Aguirre的案例中，是“她希望比男孩子强壮”帮助她学会了摔跤。故答案为A。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段And by adding female wrestling programs, colleges are giving girls and young women another option.“通过增加女子摔跤项目，大学为女孩和年轻女性提供了另一种选择。”和最后一段中“Female wrestling isn’t something unacceptable anymore,” Considine said.“康思丁说:“女性摔跤不再是不可接受的事情了。”由此推知，划线词的意思是“选择”。故答案为C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段And by adding female wrestling programs, colleges are giving girls and young wom en another option.“通过增加女子摔跤项目，大学为女孩和年轻女性提供了另一种选择。”和最后一段中“Female wrestling isn’t something unacceptable anymore,” Considine said.“康思丁说:“女性摔跤不再是不可接受的事情了。”可知，从这篇文章中我们可以了解到美国女性摔跤已经被大学接受了。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后两段And by adding female wrestling programs, colleges are giving girls and young women another option.““通过增加女子摔跤项目，大学为女孩和年轻女性提供了另一种选择。””和“Female wrestling isn’t something unacceptable anymore,” Considine said. “Things have happened so quickly. Ten years ago, you’d never have dreamed of doing this.”“康思丁说:“女性摔跤不再是不可接受的事情了。事情发生得太快了。十年前，你做梦也想不到会这样做。””由此推知，文章最佳主题是“不仅仅是男孩”。故选B。
【点睛】做词义猜测题时，切不可脱离语境想当然。在句子或段落中，我们可以利用熟悉的词语，根据语言环境所表示的关系推断生词词义。尤其要关注划线词前后的内容。本题第2小题，根据倒数第二段And by adding female wrestling programs, colleges are giving girls and young women another
option.“通过增加女子摔跤项目，大学为女孩和年轻女性提供了另一种选择。”和最后一段中“Female wrestling isn’t something unacceptable anymore,” Considine said.“康思丁说:“女性摔跤不再是不可接受的事情了。”由此推知，划线词的意思是“选择”。故答案为C。

When we talk about famous UK writer Agatha Christie, it seems that her famous detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple are must-reads. So, of course, are her best-selling novels Murder on the Orient Express （1934） and Death on the Nile （1937）.
But when the readers around the world were asked to name their favorite Christie novel to mark her 125th birthday on Sept 15, And Then There Were None （1939） topped the list, reported The Guardian.
It may surprise you to learn that it is a crime novel without a detective. What it does have is suspense （n.悬念） and a very sinister （adj.邪恶的）atmosphere. It is “on a knife edge”, as Mathew Prichard, Christie’s grandson, told the newspaper.
Ten people get an invitation to come to a house on a small island near Devon in South West England. Nobody refuses these invitations since each one promises something the person wants：a job, a holiday, a chance to meet up again with an old friend .
These people are all responsible for deaths. Some are directly responsible, others are responsible because of what they did not do. Anthony James Marston, for instance, killed two children while driving dangerously. He did not feel guilty and actually complained when he was banned from driving. Another, Emily Caroline Brent, is a harsh person who threw out a young servant for becoming pregnant while unmarried. The servant later killed herself.
When they arrive at the house they are played a recording. The voice gives details of the
wrongdoing of each of the guests. Starting with Marston, each is killed in a way that fits their crime. The series of deaths is completed with a hanging, “and then there were none”, as the title suggests.
Christie can be quite a predictable writer. Some of her stories are a little unoriginal. But this book is full of clever writing. Look it up to find out what this hugely successful mystery writer, the “Queen of Crime” as she was called, could do at her best.
8. All of the following are Agatha Christie’s works EXCEPT ______.
A. Queen of Crime
B. Death on the Nile
C. And Then There Were None
D. Murder on the Orient Express
9. What makes Then There Were None more astonishing ？
A. The unique theme offered by Agatha Christie.
B. The criminal plot without a detective.
C. The attractive place shown in the novel.
D. The varied characters created by Agatha Christie.
10. According to the author, the title of the novel suggests that ______.
A. no guests survive in the end
B. no detectives appear in the novel
C. there are no mysteries in the novel
D. nobody is to blame for the deaths of the guests
11. Which of following is TRUE about the novel And Then There Were None？
A. All the people in the novel have killed someone before.
B. Ten innocent people are killed on a small island.
C. The people in the novel accept the invitations because of something they are offered.
D. A detective finds out who is responsible for the people’s death s in the end.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇人物传记。文章讲述的是英国著名作家阿加莎·克里斯蒂和她笔下的著名侦探赫尔克里·波洛和马普尔小姐。当然，她的畅销小说《东方快车谋杀案》（1934）和《尼罗河之死》（1937）也是如此。【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的Murder on the Orient Express （1934）and Death on the Nile （1937）.和第二段中的And Then There Were None （1939）以及最后一段最后一句Look it up to find out what this hugely successful mystery writer, the “Queen of Crime” as she was called, could do at her best.可知，除了《犯罪女王》其他都是阿加莎·克里斯蒂的作品。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句It may surprise you to learn that it is a crime novel without a detective.可知，是“没有侦探的犯罪阴谋”让Then There Were None变得更加惊人。可知答案为B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Starting with Marston, each is killed in a way that fits their crime. The series of deaths is completed with a hanging, “and then there were none”, as t he title suggests.可知，根据作者的说法，小说的标题暗示了没有客人能活下来。由此可知答案为A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Nobody refuses these invitations since each one promises something the person wants：a job, a holiday, a chance to meet up again with an old friend .可知，小说中的人接受邀请是因为他们得到了某种东西。可知答案为C。
【点睛】做推理判断题时，对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机、事件的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析，进一步增强理解能力，抓住材料实质性的东西。本题第3小题，根据倒数第二段中Starting with Marston, each is killed in a way that fits their crime. The series of deaths is completed with a hanging, “and then there were none”, as the title suggests.可知，根据作者的说法，小说的标题暗示了没有客人能活下来。由此可知答案为A。
D
Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or eDNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.
Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.
Caren Goldberg is one of the first biologists to take the technology from the testing stage to actually using it. She sees eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on snorkeling （潜水）, netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.
This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the
world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the eDNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden treefrogs. In Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian（两栖动物）diseases.
Ms Goldberg has used eDNA testing to confirm the local extinction （灭绝） of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mudsnail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.
Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.
12. Compared to traditional survey techniques, eDNA is more______.
A. complex
B. eco-friendly
C. dangerous
D. convincing
13. By using eDNA, Caren Goldberg has______.
A. succeeded in catching many fishes
B. found the existence of golden treefrogs
C. documented the spread of softshell turtles
D. confirmed the disappearance of the leopard frog in Idaho
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph ？
A. Robots will replace scientists soon.
B. Some scientists are against using eDNA.
C. The old-fashioned field work may disappear.
D. Many biologists are unwilling to do the field work.
15. What is the best title for the text？
A. Science Fiction Becomes Reality for Species Surveys
B. Biologists Explore Space with the Help of eDNA
C. Scientists Found Methods to Test for Signs of Life
D. New Technologies Are Presented in Science Fictions
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
这是一篇科普文章阅读，主要向读者介绍了科学界一项新的采样技术——环境DNA，利用一点空气或水识别罕见的外来入侵物种或研究生物的多样性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中She sees eDNA as a way to get answers more efficiently and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques.可知，与传统的调查技术相比，eDNA更加环保。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Ms Goldberg has used eDNA testing to confirm the local extinction （灭绝）of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho.可知，通过使用eDNA，卡伦·戈德堡证实了爱达荷州豹蛙的消失。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.可知，从最后一段我们可以推断出“老式的田间作业可能会消失。”由此可知答案为C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or eDNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.“但在地球上，通过一种名为环境DNA （eDNA）的新采样技术，科幻小说正在变成现实。科学家可以用它来鉴定稀有物种，或者用少量的空气或水来估计鱼类的数量。”由此可知，本文最佳主题是“Science Fiction Becomes Reality for Species Surveys”。故选A。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Not all English is the same
To many learners of English, it’s easy to think that all native speakers have no trouble communicating with one another.
___16___
Well, it turns out that being a native English speaker from one country doesn’t mean that you’re able to perfectly understand a native English speaker from another country, and vice versa （反之亦然）
Take the UK and the US for example.
As a Briton, I grew up hearing American accents alongside British ones – on TV shows, movies and in songs.____17____ and how they would eat “cookies” instead of “biscuits”. And it took me a while to figure out that the “trunk” （n. 后备箱） of a car is what us Britons call its “boot”.
The confusion didn’t stop at just vocabulary –____18____ For example, when talking about
shopping malls, Americans pronounce it “mawl” instead of “mal”. And for some reason that’s hard for Britons to understand, Americans remove the “H” sound from “herb”, pronouncing it “erb”.
These small differences may not change much in a day-to-day conversation between a Briton and an American.____19____ Recently, for example, an American friend told me that she liked my pants. “You can see them？” I asked, shocked. Pants means “underpants” to most British people, which explains my horror.
___20___ In the US, for example, a “bum” is a homeless person, while the same word in the UK is used to describe one’s backside（n.臀部）.
And, more amusingly, “trump” was only ever really used as a verb in the UK – meaning “to pass gas” – unt il the US’ current president came into the spotlight.
But as long as you can speak one version of English, it’s easy enough to understand any other – and any confusion just makes your day more interesting.
A. English is changing as it spreads around the world.
B. After all, English is English, isn’t it？
C. I soon noticed how Americans would put “gas” in their cars instead of “petrol” .
D. However, confusion can still happen every now and then.
E. There are different words that mean the difficult thing.
F. Some words can even be offensive （adj.无礼的） without you realizing it.
G. I discovered that many words are even pronounced differently.
【答案】16. B 17. C
18. G 19. D
20. F
【解析】
本文是你hi一篇说明文。文章讲述的是“不是所有的英语都一样。”
【16题详解】
上文提示：“对许多英语学习者来说，很容易认为所有以英语为母语的人交流都没有困难。”下文提示“事实证明，作为一个以英语为母语的人，并不意味着你能够完全理解一个以英语为母语的人，反之亦然”。承接下文，B项After all, English is English, isn’t it？（毕竟，英语就是英语，不是吗？）切题。故选B。
【17题详解】
分析句子结构____2____ and how they would eat “cookies” instead of “biscuits”. “他们怎么会吃“cookies”而不是“biscuits”” 可知，C项 I soo n noticed how Americans would put “gas” in their cars instead of “petrol” .（我很快就注意到美国人是如何把“gas”换成“petrol”的。）切题。故选C。
【18题详解】
上文提示“这种困惑不仅限于词汇”。再根据下文提示“例如，当谈论购物中心时，美国人发音是“mawl”而不是“mal”。”承接上下文，G项I discovered that many words are even pronounced differently.（我发现很多单词甚至发音都不一样。）切题。故选G。
【19题详解】
上文提示“在英国人和美国人的日常交谈中，这些细微的差别可能不会有太大的改变。”再根据下文提示“例如，最近一位美国朋友告诉我，她喜欢我的pants。“你能看见他们吗？”我震惊地问。Pants在大多数英国人的意思是“内裤”，这解释了我的恐惧。”承接上下文，D项However, confusion can still happen every now and then.（然而，困惑仍然不时发生。）切题。该项中的However与上文构
成转折，且该项与下文内容吻合。故选D。
【20题详解】
下文提示“例如，在美国，“bum”指无家可归的人，而在英国，“bum”指的是臀部。”承接下文，F项Some words can even be offensive （adj.无礼的） without you realizing it.（有些词甚至在你没有意识到的情况下会冒犯你。）切题。故选F。
