应用文参考答案
Dear Chief Editor,
I’m Li Hua, a senior student in our school. Learning/Hearing that some editors are needed for the student
English newspaper---Youth, I'm writing to apply for the post sincerely.
From my perspective, Growing Up Together is aimed at popularizing knowledge of mental health and
helping students tackle adolescent problems. The column can create a safe and warm place where students
pour out their growing pains and confusion without being judged and we, as their peers, can offer our
understanding and comfort.
Fluent in English writing and always keen on exploring psychology science, I am definitely qualified for
the post. Besides, I once worked as a chief editor of the English newspaper of our class, which I believe will be
helpful for the job.
I would appreciate it if my application could be taken into account. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

All of a sudden, it occurred to me that having a cat in our house might help“. You want to get a kitten ” I
asked Mary“. Oh, Yes!”she relied eagerly“. I want an orange tabby. A male!”The next morning, I called shelters,
but no one had any kittens, let alone a male orange tabby. I was about to give up when one shelter responded
telling me that an 8-week kitten who lost his mom was seeking help and they also sent a photo. Showing the
photo to Mary, I was pleased to see her eyes round, sparkling with excitement. This is exactly my dream kitten.
Do get it for me, please, mom.” Mary begged in a thrilled tone, holding my arm with wild joy. It was so long
since we got that close to interact that I was almost moved to tears.
We immediately decided to take the cat from the shelter home. Having made preparations together, we
waited eagerly for the new member to arrive. Then came Ron, named by my daughter, a really active fellow
who often brought laughter to us everywhere he popped up. Mary worked with me to look after him, train him
and enjoy her time with Ron. To my great joy, I could hear more laughter from Mary, who shared loads of
warm scenes of the whole family having fun together in her Instagram posts instead of locking herself in the
study all day long. In a sense, the invisible wall between us seemed to have been broken down. Sometimes,
there is no need to seek magic for a change, and a bond that clicks alive can work miracles .

阅读答案与详解
21-23 B C B
21.选 B。见第三段中“... a woman dressed up as Emily Dickinson ”
22.选 C。见第四段第一句“here’s simply no film character who represents the concept of autumn quite like
Margot Tenenbaum”没有哪部电影中能像Margot Tenenbaum 这样体现秋意了。
23.选 B。见第一段“...which are not necessarily movies set in the fall, but which represent fall in some way”
24-27 ADA C
24.选 A。见第一段中 “My husband was the first to shift his consciousness. He dressed accordingly and
announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.”
25.选 D。 见二段中“Maintaining less than desirable attitudes, we unwillingly put on our snow equipment and
headed outside. ”
26.选 A。见第三段中 “He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many
household items supplied by various families. There he stood, our glorious, enormous snowman.”
27.选 C。见最后一段。 “Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them. The possibilities are
endless and the choice is ours.” 作者通过本文故事，告诉我们：外出堆雪人，让原本糟糕压抑的大雪天
变成了充满欢乐的一天。是我们的选择让我们的生活由 “really bad stressful”变成了“filled with vigor and
joyous energy”。
28-31.B A D C
28. 细节理解题。根据第三段 The university mentioned that this course will give students a chance to dig
into the history and effects of witchcraft and magic worldwide 可知，“魔法与神秘学”硕士学位将让学生有
机会深入研究世界范围内巫术和魔法的历史和影响，所以 B 项正确。故选 B。
29. 词句猜测题。根据第四段画线词前后句语境“课程负责人表示，‘创新’ 的魔法与神秘学硕士课程是
在‘最近人们对魔法的兴趣 ________’ 之后开设的。在学术界内外，研究魔法的兴趣都在上升。” 可推
出，画线单词表示“增长，增加”。故选 A。
30. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 The MA in Magic and Occult Science would challenge the belief that the
Western world is only characterized by rationalism and science while the rest of the world is associated with
magic and superstition 可知， Selove 教授认为，魔法与神秘学硕士学位将挑战这样一种信念，即西方
世界的特征只有理性主义和科学，而世界其他地方则与魔法和迷信有关。也就是说，魔法与神秘科学硕
士学位的挑战是：西方世界被广泛认为是一个理性和科学的世界。故选 D。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，魔法与神秘学硕士学位的毕业生可以选择各种职业道路，包括教
学、咨询、旅游和辅导，以及在遗产机构、博物馆、图书馆、艺术组织和出版业等领域的工作。由此可
知，这个学位的工作前景是大有希望的。故选 C。
32-35.A D A D
32.根据第一段 In a response to the threat posed by rising sea levels, South Korea showed the world’s first
prototype sustainable floating city in Busan. 可知，韩国建造这座浮动城市的目的是应对海平面上涨带来
的威胁，故选 A 项。
33. 根据第三段最后一句 The city will serve as the “world’s first prototype sustainable floating city” aiming
to be “a structure that rises with the sea” supplying its own food, energy, and water. 可知，它将是一座可持续
发展城市，几乎可以自给自足，故选 D 项。
34. 通读全段可知，本段详细介绍这座浮动之城整体是怎样运行的，故选 A 项。
35. 根据全文所知，本篇文章讲的是韩国即将出现一个漂浮的城市来应对不断增加的海水水位增长，故
选 D 项。
七选五答案与详解：36-40 D F GA E
宜荆荆随恩重点高中教科研协作体英语答案(共 5 页)第 2 页
{#{QQABSYKQggggQgBAABgCQQX6CgIQkAGACKoGhAAIMAAAAQNABAA=}#}
解析：本文讲述了我们人类大脑对身体的感知和了解基于我们触觉，但可能不像自己想象的那么了解。
36.选D。本选项承接上文，回答了“how well do we actually know our hands ”；通过第2段中“How did they
do Not that well.”及后文的实验得知，我们人类对我们的手并非了如指掌。
37.选 F。本题所在的第 2段主要介绍 Longo 的实验发现：人们对自己手（包括手指）的不甚了解。该
空后句 “（实验中）当找大拇指时人们最准确，然而找其它手指时不是很准确” 正好对选项 A“他们认
为手指比实际长度要短” 及该空前句“自己的手比实际的要宽” 做了解释。
38.选 G。第 3段进一步解释我们对身体感知与触觉有关。本题与下文形成因果关系。“我们的大脑通过
其形成的地图可以知道我们身体的大小和形状，因此实验的目的就是要找到这些地图。” 且下文中的
“those maps”与 G项中的 maps是同词复现。
39.选 A。最后一段解释大脑地图的构建基于触觉，且与身体部位的神经多少有关。本题位于段首，是
本段中心句。“身体部位的神经越多，该部位在大脑地图中就显得越大。”
40.选 E。本题承上启下，通过举例说明身体部位神经越多，大脑地图构建的图像越大。

{#{QQABSYKQggggQgBAABgCQQX6CgIQkAGACKoGhAAIMAAAAQNABAA=}#}
解析：
56.考察非谓语动词做补语， force sb to do。
57.考察名词变形 absent- absence。
58.考察非谓语动词做后置定语， 与 study 之间产生动宾关系， 因此使用过去分词做定语。
59.考察动词搭配，apply ... to...。
60.考察形容词变副词， 修饰动词 threaten。
61.考察非谓语动词做后置定语， 与被修饰词 bears之间是主动关系， 因此使用现在分词 living。
62.考察名词性从句的用法， 动词 use后面的宾语从句缺少主语， 用连接代词 what 引导。
63.考察谓语动词的时态， 后面的时间状语是 over the past years, 所以应该使用现在完成时。
64.考察冠词的用法， 此处的 a scientist in...作为 Steve Armstrup的同位语， 没有特指， 所以要使用不
定冠词。
65.考察状语从句的连词，和前文的逻辑关系相反，所以需要使用 unless 表“除非，如果不”的意思。

of money just going out to places and having a good time.
W:Do you have a favorite shop
M:I’m not interested in shopping, actually. But there is a shop I really enjoy going to. It’s a sports shop and
what I really like about it is just to wander round and see all the clothes and equipment they sell. I can’t
afford them. They are expensive.
W:What’s shopping like in the area where you live
M: I guess the shopping must be pretty good, because my mum and dad do all the shopping nearby. They
always say it has fresh vegetables and good food.

M: In July 2012, an American man named Erden Eruc completed a 5-year journey, becoming the first person
ever to travel all the way around the world with no help of cars or trains. All he used was his own arms and
legs, to cycle, row and walk around the world. His plan before beginning the trip was to climb the six
highest mountains on earth. The weather on the mountains was terrible but it didn’t stop him. However, he
was only able to climb three of them, not because of his health condition, but for money problems. Erden
spent most of his time on the trip in his boat. Being alone on the sea for that much time was not at all easy,
but he kept busy by listening to music and studying Spanish. He took dried food with him and had a water
machine to make fresh water out of seawater. However, it only worked on sunny days. Erden is sure he
will take more trips one day. But at the moment all he wants to do is rest and spend time with his wife
Nancy.

A
Below, find four of the very best fall movies -- which are not necessarily movies set in the fall, but which represent fall in some way -- to get you through to December.
When Harry Met Sally...(1989)
When I think of fall, I automatically picture Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal walking through a leaf-strewn Central Park and talk about Sally's ultimate sexual fantasy. The film cycles through various seasons, but it feels brightest and most alive in fall, making it the perfect thing to get you through a frustrating November afternoon.
Autumn in New York (2000)
I mean... how could I not include this one Title aside, this Winona Ryder features many of the things I most as sociate with fall, including Central Park, small museums, and a woman dressed up as Emily Dickinson. We love to see it and cry at it.
The Royal Tenenhaums (2001)
There's simply no film character who represents the concept of autumn quite like Margot Tenenbaum. Her seasonally appropriate clipped hair, charming eyes, and wardrobe of primarily browns all but scream out the reason for the season; and while signature fur coat might seem more winter near, her fondness for pairing it with Lacoste polo dresses is fall all the way. In what other season can you wear a coat with a dress, logically speaking
Mona Lisa Smile(2003)
I'm actually an enthusiastic advocate of watching this Julia Roberts/Julia Stiles/Kirsten Dunst trifecta(三强联袂) in any season, but watching it in fall will make you desire a well-knitted sweater and a thermos of tea to take along with you while you cheer for the boys at the Harvard-Yale game.
21. In what film does a lady dress herself as Emily Dickinson
A. When Harry Met Sally B. Autumn in New York
C. The Royal Tenenhaums D. Mona Lisa Smile
22. What is demonstrated through Margot Tenenbaum's appearance and dresses
A. Her way of love. B. Her taste in makeup.
C. Something relevant to fall. D. Something concerning clothes.
23. What do the four movies have in common
A. All are set in December. B. All reflect fall to some extent.
C. All of them were shot before 2000. D. All display the beauty of different seasons.
B
It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us. My husband was the first to shift his consciousness. He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman.
At first he stood alone, piling massive amounts of snow. Soon after a neighbor joined in my husband's pursuit to embrace the opportunity the winter presented. Maintaining less than desirable attitude, we unwillingly put on our snow equipment and headed outside. It wasn't long before we were smiling and enjoying the snow that Mother Nature had provided. Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman.
In the end we all stood back, amazed at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families. There he stood, our glorious, enormous snowman.
People drove by and smiled. Some even stopped to enjoy his existence. The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures permitted.
With the passing of time, the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably. In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer, somebody stopped by and changed the snowman's remains to look like a rabbit.
As I prepared for the start of another week, I decided to check my email before going to bed. I found a curious message that contained the subject line: enjoy the snowman. I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it. The words it contained melted my heart.
The email said: …your neighbor look son in disbelief! I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells, along with sights of spring. The energy displayed in Mr. Snowman or Ms, is filled with joyous energy. You and your family keep it up, as this is what the world needs now. Love sweet love. More power to you and your loved ones, keep sharing with the world around.
Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day. I'd like to agree that it was. The message seems clear. Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them. The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours.
24. Why did her husband want to make a snowman
A. He desired to lift his spirits. B. He was better at it than others.
C. He meant to please his neighbors. D. He must get the last chance before spring.
25. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Not all the neighbors would like to help them.
B. All the neighbors enjoyed building the snowman.
C. The writer didn't approve of her husband's going out.
D. The writer wouldn't love to join her husband initially.
26. What can we know about the snowman
A. It was surprisingly big in size. B. It made people more forgiving.
C. It was built by the author's family. D. It made building snowman popular.
27. What can we infer from the passage
A. There are many opportunities in our life .
B. Choices are more practical than possibilities.
C. We can decide our way of life through our choice.
D. We must have our own opinions about our decision.
C
The University of Exeter is launching a new program in September 2024 called the Master of Arts(MA) in Magic and Occult Science. This program is all about exploring ideas in a different way, according to its leader, Professor Emily Selove.
Selove explained on BBC Radio 4’s Today program that this degree in magic takes a fresh approach to studying history, science, philosophy, religion, and literature. It looks at these subjects from a unique viewpoint that hasn't received much attention from scholars before.
The university mentioned that this course will give students a chance to dig into the history and effects of witchcraft (巫术) and magic worldwide, including their influence on society and science. Expert s in various fields will teach the course and help students understand how magic has played a role in both Western and Eastern cultures.
The University of Exeter already received more than a hundred inquiries for MA degree. The “innovative” MA has been created following a “recent surge in interest in magic”, the course leader said. The interest in studying magic is on the rise, both within and outside of academic circles. This is because people are searching for fresh viewpoints on how we connect with other human cultures and the natural world, Selove explained.
Selove said that our ancestors had some interesting ideas that we may have ignored. These ideas have the potential to be valuable philosophical thoughts and could provide us with a new way of understanding society. “The MA in Magic and Occult Science would challenge the belief that the Western world is only characterized by rationalism(理性主义) and science while the rest of the world is associated with magic and superstition(迷信),”she added.
Furthermore, the university mentioned that this course can prepare students for various career paths, including teaching, consulting and tourism as well as work in heritage settings and museums, art organizations, and the publishing industry among other options.
28. What do we know about the MA in Magic and Occult Science
A. It provides a new way to study science and physics.
B. It gives students the opportunity to be exposed to witchcraft.
C. Its course focuses on the magic al world of Eastern culture.
D. Its course allows students to do some magic experiments.
29. What does the underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Increase. B. Drop. C. Success. D. Balance.
30. What dose the MA in Magic and Occult Science challenge according to Selove
A. Not many students are interested in the degree.
B. Some ideas about philosophy from our ancestors are ignored.

In a response to the threat posed by rising sea levels, South Korea showed the world's first model of sustainable floating city in Busan.
“Sea level rise poses a threat for some small islands and some low-lying coasts,” says a recent report. The global sea level has risen by eight to nine inches since 1880. What's more frightening is that one-third of the rise in sea level happened in the last 25 years.
The floating city aims to provide technology for coastal cities facing severe land shortages that are combined by climatic threats. The city will serve as the “world’s first model sustainable floating city” aiming to be “a structure that rises with the sea” supplying its own food, energy and water.
The floating city has six combined systems: zero waste and circular systems, closed-loop water systems, food, net-zero energy, innovative movement, and coastal habitat regeneration. These interconnected systems will generate 100 percent of the required energy through floating and rooftop photovoltaic panels(光伏板).
Each neighborhood will treat and refill its own water, process and recycle resources, and provide innovative urban agriculture. The floating city is the world's first model of a sustainable floating community. The interconnected neighborhoods spread across 6.3 hectares that can hold a community of12,000 people. Starting from a community of 3 platforms with 12,000 residents and visitors, it has the potential to expand to more than 20 platforms. The floating platforms have dozens of productive stations with photovoltaic panels and greenhouses that can expand and contract(收缩) over time based on the city's needs.
“I take seriously our commitment ‘ The First to the Future’. Our common future is at risk in the face of sea level rise and its impact on coastal cities,” said Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon, who has set a schedule, including turning Busan into a green smart city and compete for World Expo 2030.
This is as frightening as it is exciting to reach such an achievement, but living in a city that is like the communities where people try to survive in the movie Water World is kind of unhappy.
32. Why does South Korea build the floating city
A. To deal with the sea level rise. B. To develop the sustainable energy.
C. To increase the land to grow plants. D. To help reduce the global temperature.
33. What can we know about the floating city
A. It doesn't need agriculture. B. It has six separate systems.
C. It produces energy by rooftop. D. It can provide almost everything by itself.
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. How the floating city will operate in its way.
B. How many people the floating city will hold.
C. How the floating city will produce its energy.
D. How the floating city will recycle its resources.
35. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Busan witnesses sea level rise. B. Rising sea level threatens Busan.
C. Living in a floating city is exciting. D. The first floating city is on the way.

In English it's common to say, “I know this town like the back of my hand!” While we may know our towns really well, how well do we actually know our hands 36
Matthew Longo and his team from University College London studied the left hands of 100 people. With their hands placed palms down under a board, Longo’s team gave the instruction to point to their knuckles(指关节) and fingertips with a marker pen. How did they do Not that well.
In the experiment, according to Longo, “people think their hands are wider than they actually are.” 37 They were most accurate when finding their thumbs, but became less accurate with each finger, up to their pinkies(小指).
“It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. Humans know where different parts of our bodies are, even if we can't see them. It tells us whether a joint (关节) is straight or not. 38So the experiment the team conducted was to find those maps.
39 On the basis of the study, in our brain's map, brains “see” areas based on our sense of touch. The stronger the sense of touch in a specific body part is, the bigger that body part seems. An example is our lips. As they have more nerves than our noses, our brain's map shows our lips are bigger. 40 If you've ever had something stuck in your teeth, it probably feels huge! That's because our tongues also have lots of nerves.
A. More nerves, larger a body part seems.
B. Let's see how our humans know our body parts.
C. It's essential to the sizes and shapes of our body.
D. Maybe not quite as well as we think, said a scientific study.
E. The same can happen with body parts having a lot of nerves.
F. They also thought their fingers were shorter than their true lengths.
G. Our brains know the body sizes and shapes from the maps they make for themselves.

Polar bears in the Arctic Circle rely on sea ice to help them hunt for seals. But due to warming temperature, that sea ice is melting sooner in the spring and freezing later in the fall, forcing the bears 56 (go) hungry for longer .
Nowadays, researchers have discovered a unique group of polar bears who've found a new way to survive in the 57 (absent) of sea ice: By hunting from the ice that falls off glaciers. The findings 58 (publish) in Science offer hope for a species that may be trending towards extinction by the end of the decade. The researchers urged caution against applying their findings 59 other populations of polar bears, who are still 60 (unavoidable) threatened by the planet's warming.
The bears 61 (live) in southeast Greenland go through a long period without sea ice around250 days. But they've been able to continue hunting during that period by using 62 falls off from glaciers into the water.
Although the southeast Greenland bears 63 (adapt) to their surroundings over the past decades, rising temperatures may eventually cause their glacial ice to get smaller or even disappear. As Steve Armstrup, 64 scientist with Polar Bears International , says, “While the southeast Greenland bears are able to hunt with glacial ice today, that will be almost impossible in the future 65 we control the rise of global greenhouse gases.”

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
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。
Eight o’clock on a May morning, and Mary, my 17-year-old daughter, was in our study upstairs. It had served as her classroom ever since schools moved to remote learning due to the COVID-19.
From the kitchen, I listened to the sound of her tapping on the laptop or her communicating in their Google Meet session s with her friends and teachers. I resisted the desire to check on her. Way too often, I would find Mary texting friends and commenting on their Snapchat and Instagram posts about the fun they were having together. I felt it safer not to care. After all, we'd barely left the house for 10 weeks straight.
“Mom, everyone is hanging out today!” Mary's voice came from upstairs. “Why can't I ”I went up the stairs. Mary was lying on the floor, her laptop, school iPad and cell phone in front of her. “It's unfair,” she said. “I have no one I can be with. I can't wait until I'm 18. and can do what I want.”
We'd had this conversation before. Still, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. I was sick of isolating(隔离) too. Even though Mary and I were at home together more than we had been in years, we might as well have been living in separate worlds.
“Wanna watch Netflix later ” I asked. “Bake some cookies ” “No, thanks.” Mary shook her head, as if the idea of doing something together was quite beyond her. I was used to Mary's rejection, but it still hurt. Teenage independence is healthy, but I worried that if I didn't find a way to bond with my girl soon, I might never be close with her again. She'd be 18 in the fall and had already convinced herself she didn't need me anymore. Maybe she was right. No matter what I did, I couldn't seem to reach her. That evening, I logged onto Facebook and saw a friend's family playing with their new kitten together. My mind went back to the difficult period when I was in high school and our family moved to the new city. It was a gray tabby(虎斑猫) with which Mom surprised me that brightened my days and got me through that difficult, lonely time.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
It suddenly occurred to me that having a cat in our house might help.
We immediately decided to take the cat from the shelter home.
