B.Appreciation C.Praise D.Support B Getting drunk on ice cream used to be the stuff of dreams,but thanks to Will Rogers,inventor and owner of WDS Dessert Stations in Hinkley,Illinois,it has become a delicious reality.The Below Zero icecream machine uses a unique technique to freeze alcohol,which allows you to turn beers,cocktails and even spirits(烈酒)into delicious soft serve ice cream.Rogers was trying to create a highly caffeinated espresso ice cream flavor when he realized hecould use the same technique with alcoholic beverages.He started experimenting with various gums and stabilizers commonly used in the ice cream industry and eventually patented something called the NEA gel.Its this magical concoction(调制品)that allows the alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the Below Zero ice cream machine.Even though Below Zero changes the texture(质地)of beer,cocktails and even spirits,essentially turning them into soft serve ice cream,it does not affect the alcohol contentat all.The ABV(酒精度)remains exactly the same,which means you can get drunk on ice cream just as you would on the same concoctions in liquid form.Will Rogers claims that it takes around 30 minutes for beer to go from liquid to ice cream form,but higher alcohol content drinks take longer.Essentially,the higher the alcohol level,the longer the wait.The American inventor plans to sell Below Zero ice cream machines to bars and breweries wanting to surprise their patrons.Metro reports that machines will sell for about 6,000.4.Whats the name of the machine which can change beer and spirits into ice cream?A.Will Rogers B.WDS Dessert Stations C.Hinkley D.Below Zero 5.What makes alcohol to freeze to a near solid inside the machine?A.gums.B.stabilizers.C.NEA gel.D.ABV.6.What can we know from the passage?A.The machine can change all liquids into ice cream.B.It takes 20 minutes for beer to change into ice cream.C.The higher the alcohol level,the shorter the wait will be.D.The machine changes the texture of beer,cocktails and even spirits.7.What can we infer from the passage?A.The machine affects the alcohol content.B.You can get drunk if you have icecreams made from spirits.C.The American inventor doesnt want to sell themagical machine.D.Bars and breweries will not become potential buyers of the machine.C When I was a child,I attained high grades in my academic study.However,I was physically uncoordinated because I was running too slowly.But for future college application,sport was a must.So I took up fencing(击剑)because I thought it required more strategy than athletic ability.Then I joined the schools fencing team.My movements were clumsy compared to the seniors.One afternoon after a whole lessons failure,tears of frustration welled up in my eyes.One of my teammates approached me,“Could you tell me where your blade(剑)hit me?”She asked.I pointed to her right shoulder.She nodded and patted my stomach,“Thats where I hit you.”She had begun to walk away when I blurted out,“Want to practice together?Again?”We practiced until we both felt more confident.But it wasnt just the two of us.All these girls were entirely willing to share their knowledge with everyone,helping each other to grow.That afternoon,I watched a senior fencer execute a flawless attack admiringly.Something inside me suddenly bloomed.I realized later that it was love for both fencing and the fencing team.During the city championship,I was selected to fence.My opponent was the best fencer on her schools team.“Ready,fence.”The match began.Suddenly,my opponents blade hit me.The score was 1-0.At the moment I could hear my teammates shouting,“Keep distance!”And the team captains voice was clear and commanding,“Parry,then disengage!”Fencing,unlike academics,wasnt something I could succeed in by myselfeven during an individual match,my teammates were still giving me advice.Unathletic as I was,I was proud to be an athlete and a teammate.I saw my blade tip bury itself into my opponents shoulder and the judge signaling that it was my point.I could taste the sweat on my lips,which were breaking out into a smile.8.Why did the author start to learn fencing?A.Because she needed to train her coordination.B.Because she thought it would be easier for her.C.Because she could not succeed in any other sport.D.Because she wanted to enter the school fencing team.9.How did the girls improve their fencing skills?A.By observing flawless attacks.B.By practicing on their own.C.By offering guidance to each other.D.By competing with other teams.10.What distinguishes fencing from academics according to the author?A.Strong determination.B.Hard work.C.Athletic strategy.D.Team support.11.How did the author feel when she got her point?A.Unbeatable and respectful.B.Sweaty and ashamed.C.Energetic and secure.D.Proud and thankful.D Ive never been the kind of person to say,“its the thought that counts”when it comes to gifts.That was until a couple of weeks ago,when my kids gave me a present thatblew me away.For years now,Ive been wanting to sell our home,the place where my husband and I raised our kids.But to me,this house is much more than just a building.In the front room,theres a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines,marking the progress of my childrens growth.Every growth stage is marked in grey,with each childs name and the date they were measured.Of all the objects and all the memories,its this one thing in a home thats the hardest to leave behind.Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over.A new paint job wouldnt normally be greeted by tears,but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should.Our kids grow in so many ways,but the wall is physical evidence of their progress,right there for everyone to see.Over the years,Ive talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved,even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.So one day,while I was at work,my childrendecided to do something about it.They hired Jacquie Manning,a professional photographer whose work is about capturing(捕捉)the beautiful things in life,from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns(舞会礼服).She came to our house while I was at work,and over several hours,took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines,little grey fingerprints(手印),and old marks.Somehow,she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly.Afterwards,she put all the photos together into one image,transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.Three weeks later,my childrens wonderful gift made its way to mea life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.12.The underlined phrase in Para.I“blew me away”probably means“_”.A.attracted me B.surprised me C.accepted me D.refused me 13.What does the house really mean to the author?A.A house.B.Buildings.C.An object.D.Memories.14.What surprised the friends I know after work?A.Finding the wall repainted.B.Erasing the fingerprints.C.Greeting them by tears.D.Leaving the wall unfinished.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Gift Made with Love B.Buildings Made by Children C.A Very Wonderful Painting D.A Family History 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Is Managing Kids Screen Time a Good Idea?Screen time is a big topic of conversation in todays households,particularly during the pandemic when online education hours have multiplied for many students._16_They hope to spare their kids from the countless challenges that technology can bring.Yet the challenges of screen time overuse seldom come from kids devices themselves,but rather from the tense relationships that technology can bring to families._17_But technology has positive benefits too.Since every child and family is different,managing screen time calls for joint family decision-making.If parents believe they can manage a childs screen time through adolescence,they are not only fooling themselves but also inviting relationship trouble with their teens.It is a myth to think that parents can or should manage their kids screen time through authoritarian restrictions,even during elementary school._18_When children are left out of those decisions,they often become less communicative with parents and siblings.This is the opposite of what parents want to achieve._19_From early ages,children are quite capable of understanding that a good life involves awareness and balance.Just as they learn right from wrong,and good from bad,they can also learn to use technology in healthy ways.Learning how to regulate oneself and develop healthy behaviors is one of the primary tasks of childhood and adolescence.What happens when an adult tries to regulate a child is that the child misses out on the opportunity to learn for themselves.Enforced restrictions can also make children feel helpless and less confident.To be clear,this article is not suggesting that families never use apps or trackers,or that there should be no restrictions on screen time._20_Parents should give voice to children and involve them in the planning and decision-making process.A.Of course,there are websites that are unhealthy for kids to access.B.The alternative is to involve children in decisions that govern screen time.C.However,every family needs a family media plan between family members.D.The goal is to see,hear,feel,and understand how children view screen time.E.To manage childrens screen time,parents have invested in apps and trackers.F.To get children involved,parents should trust and develop kids self-awareness.G.What it is suggesting is that parents look at managing screen time in a different way.第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项
