BAbout 36.CAbout 2. DAbout 12.解析数字计算题。依据其次段中的“.Zhang，36，who has learned piano，violin and viola since childhood.”以及倒数第三段中的“Zhang and his parents moved to Toronto，Canada in 1990.”可知现在(2022年)张克敏36岁，那么1990年他大约是12岁。答案D5Whats the main idea of Paragraph 7?AWhat kind of person was Zhang Kemins grandfather.BWhat kind of project was Zhang Kemin doing now.CZhang Kemins grandfather lived in Toronto.DZhang Kemins grandfather liked to give lectures about the project.解析段落大意题。文章第七段中提到张克敏现在做的工作与他祖父以前做的一样，并且具体介绍了他祖父所从事的工作状况。因此该段的大意应当是：张克敏现在是在做什么样的工作。答案B 体裁：说明文话题：社会生活时间：6分钟If you have ever wondered what Noahs Ark，the huge boat that saved Noah，his family and two specimens of every animal genus that inhabited the earth，may have looked like，you are in luck.Thats because a Dutchman has created a lifesize replica，with a slight modernday twist!Johan Huibers says he was inspired to build the boat after he dreamt that his native country of Netherlands was completely flooded! The carpenter began by creating a smaller version of what he likes to call Johans Ark in 2004.Not surprisingly，it was an instant hit with tourists，both local and foreign.Encouraged by the success，he used the funds generated from ticket sales of the smaller version，and in 2009 recruited(聘请) his two children and some friends，to build a version the same size as the one specified in the Bible.Johan and his team ended up with an Ark that measures an impressive 427 feet(130 meters) long，95 feet(29 meters) across and 75 feet (23 meters) high.As for the animals? While the area inside is big enough to allow two real elephants，Johan has restrained that impulse! Instead，he has populated it with plastic substitutes of the mammal and also giraffes，zebras and even buffalosAll lifesize of course! But smaller species like chickens，sheep and rabbits got luckierThey are all alive and seem to be enjoying their life inside the Arks “petting zoo”Johans Ark is also home to an array of exotic birdsAll alive and chirping(鸣叫声)!The only issue with this amazing replica that docks in a small river in Dordrecht，Netherlands is the ability to actually sail off! Thats because unlike the biblical version，this one is made from steel and weighs 3，000 tons.Still，it is pretty cool and the best news is that Johan is hoping to take it to other parts of the world too，if he can find a bigger boat to transport it on.【语篇导读】本文为说明文，主要叙述了荷兰人Johan Huibers 两次建筑现代版的诺亚方舟，并吸引了众多海内外的参观者的事情。此外，还说明白现代版的诺亚方舟的内部构造和功用。6Why did Johan Huibers create Johans Ark?ABecause he wanted to make a lot of money.BBecause he meant to raise animals in the Ark.CBecause he dreamed his motherland was flooded.DBecause he intended to travel around the world.解析考查细节理解。由其次段第一句“Johan Huibers says he was inspired to build the boat after he dreamt that his native country of Netherlands was completely flooded！”可知，Johan Huibers想建筑诺亚方舟是由于他梦到自己的家乡被洪水沉没了。答案C7The first sentence of Paragraph 3 means _AJohans Ark was attacked by some touristsBbuilding Johans Ark proved a failureCthe visitors were surprised by his crazy ideaDJohans Ark was very popular with tourists解析考查细节理解。由第三段其次句中的“Encouraged by the success，he used the funds generated from ticket sales of the smaller version”可知，第一次建筑诺亚方舟受到海内外游客的欢迎，取得了成功。答案D8Which of the following can replace the underlined word“restrained” in Paragraph 4?Aimproved BstoppedCdeveloped Dindicated解析考查词义猜想。由第四段中的“Instead，he has populated it with plastic substitutes of the mammal and also giraffes，zebras and even buffalos”可知，他使用了这些动物的塑料替代品，而没有用真的大动物，故推知他“抑制”了冲动。答案B9What can you infer from the last paragraph?AThe boat was created just for entertainment.BThis Ark was designed for sailing in the river.CThis amazing replica cant sail in the sea.DJohan was going to sell the replica overseas.解析考查推理推断。由最终一段最终一句中的“if he can find a bigger boat to transport it on”以及前文可知，现代版的诺亚方舟无法在海洋中正常航行。答案C10Which of the following is the best title of the passage?AThe Tale of Noahs ArkBHow to Avoid DisastersCThe Functions of Noahs ArkDModernday Version of Noahs Ark解析考查主旨大意。由全文可知，本文叙述了荷兰人Johan Huibers两次建筑现代版的诺亚方舟，吸引了海内外的参观者，取得了成功，故选项D正确。答案D 体裁：谈论文话题：关爱父母时间：7分钟(2022淄博市模拟)Are you unsure of the future？Do you feel as if you have put in a lot of effort，yet you still havent got anywhere？Are your

potential(潜力)Your fears and selfdoubt are in fact the main villains that stop you from achieving success and keep you from living the life that you truly want.Understand this：the barrier(障碍)to your

other people for help.CLooking for good opportunities.DTaking a lot of challenges.解析推理推断题。依据“The most important thing that you need to realize is that you have the power to change your life.”可知，最重要的是你要意识到你有转变自己的生活的力量，即要对自己有信念，故选A。答案A15The author wrote this article mainly to _Alet us know more about the worldBdescribe what a successful person is likeCprove it is not easy to have a bright futureDtell us how to get rid of our selfbondage解析意图推断题。文章第一段提出话题，其次段叙述自我束缚的不利之处，第三段告知人们如何摆脱自我束缚，最终一段总结全文。其实重点在于第三段，第三段体现了作者的意图，故选D。答案D
