By the age of eight I was an ordinary child,but through chess I knew the excitement of playing in the same primary school team as my older brother three years ahead,and soon afterwards I experienced the pride of representing my city.My love for chess offered periodic escape from my ordinary life.By the time I was 10 my family had fallen apart.And I came to live with my grandfather. The family’s chess set was laid in the bay window.That space was soon surrounded by games collections,endgame strategy books and books on opening theory.I played out book contents on the board,typically with the left hand holding the book open,the right hand moving the pieces, and the eyes moving between book and board, as if watching a very slow tennis match of myown staging. That square metre of space changed my life.That was the place where I“got good”.Chess achievement gave me intellectual confidence that I might otherwise not have had Many teachers had long told me,“If you are good at chess you should be able to do this.” rejected this idea for years, mostly because it meant I had to tryharder yet at 15 I decided they might be right after all. I began to love reading and learning and thinking and writing and speaking. I’d go on to Oxford,Harvard and a PhD, but there was nothing unavoidable about this development.I was not a particularly promising pupil and could have been at a loss,doing badlyat school or even worse.Aldous Huxley famously wrote that “experience is not what happens to you, it is what youdo with what happens to you”.Our life experience is not one event after another but a series ofopportunities for us to grow. With chess and then exam success,I decided to be less defined by my circumstances(境遇)and more capable of shaping them.24. What was the author proud of A.Learning chess at an early age.B.

Which rhetorical device is used in the last paragraph A. Metaphor.B. Quote.C. Repetition.D.PersonificationCMost parents can relate to how difficult it is to send a child to school for the first time. But for Deb on Parental Guidance,sending her daughter off to class when she was just four felt way too soon.“I looked at her and thought, 'Do I really have to send you to school ”Deb,46, tells TV WEEK.“I started to do some research and found out about home schooling.Before then, I had no idea it existed or that it was even legal.”And 12 years later,Deb has home-schooled all six of her kids and become a huge advocate(提倡者)forat-home learning. “Home-school parenting allows me to have that strong connection with my children,”she says. “I really believe it prepares them for life in the real world, because we live in the real world every day. They’re not stuck in a classroom with only kids their own age.”While many parents have had recent experience of trying to bring the classroom into th home during COVID lockdowns, Deb says her approach is very different.“For me, home schooling is a way of life,”she says.“I’ve worked my whole life around my children’s schooling, rather than making it fit in with my life.”Despite being confident in her style of parenting,Deb has some unpleasant moments on Parental Guidance this week.The screen-time challenge-where the kids aren’t allowed to use their phones or computers for 24 hoursinjures her relationship with her eldest daughter Jess.“Doing the challenge and dealing with those emotions with Jess I felt like a complet failure," she says,admitting that she struggled to understand Jess’point of view.But once the teenager explained her experience, Deb understood the effect that having naccess to technology had on her“This is how teenagers connect now,”Deb says.“And with Jess being home-schooled, technology is so important. The screen-time challenge was singly the most challenging, yet most rewarding, moment.”28. How did Deb find home schooling when she first leaned about it A.Illegal.B.Disappointing.C. SurprisingD. Popular.29. What is an advantage of home schooling for kids according to Deb A. Fitting in better with reality.B.Cutting down tuition fees.C.Staying away from the wrong crowd.D. Getting along well with teenagers30.What harmed the relationship between Deb and Jess A.Deb's choice of schoolingB. The screen-time challenge.C. Lack of modern technology.D. The kids points of view.31. What is the purpose of the text A. To advocate a lifestyle.B.To educate the public.C. To share a way of schoolingD.To entertain readers.DWhen the UK hosted the G7 Summit to discuss climate changeorganisers ofZero Carbon Tour” hired an electric bus to travel from London to the summit in Cornwall.It seemed likegreat PR.Sadly,the bus got stuck before it could return home.It tried five different charging stations but none of them worked.The incident illustrates the huge importance of charging facility to the future of sustainable(可持续性的)electric driving.According to Fitch Solutions electric car sales in Europe jumped by 72 percent in 2021.The market is clearly growing fast.Howeverthis growth will slow ifev(electric vehicle) drivers can’t easily find a spot to power up.At present,many EV owners charge their vehicles at home using regular domestic(家庭的) plug points.Domestic charging is slow,but it is convenient.Drivers usually do it overnight.However, there is also the option ofpublic charging on streetsworkplaces car parks, petrol stations and motorway service stations.Public chargers are usually quicker,and obviously,they serve people who are travelling as well as those who cannot charge their EVs from home. According to the European Alternative Fuels Observatory,there are well over 200,000 of these points across the EU.Public charge points are run by competing operators that typically charge a monthly fee for access or offer pay-as-you-go(though credit card payments are often not accepted).Many EV now have associated apps that direct motorists to the nearest point.Typically, drivers need asmart card or phone app to unlock access.Although the charging network is growing,it is still very fragmented(分散).There are multiple competing suppliers, and the stations are not equally supplied. Some areas are over-supplied while others have hardly anyNeedless to say, as the EV market expands,drivers will need plentiful and convenient access to public charging points. Ideally,the market needs also global standards and improved management of electricity delivery. Just as importantcharging stations must offer simple andsecure access along with easy payments.32.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1 A.Bring out a problem.B.Provide some advice.C. Offer background information.D. Make a prediction.33.What difference is mentioned between domestic and public charging A.The cost.B. The speed.C. The approach.D. The safety.34.What can we learn about public charging stations A.They are over-supplied.B. They have easy payments.C. They are under test.D. They remain to be improved35.What can be the best title for the text A.Charging EVs for FreeB.Developing EV MarketsC. Making EV Charging Freely AvailableD.Driving EVs for the Global Climate第二节(共5小题:每小题25分，满分12.5分)根据下面短文，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。We know sleep is more important than aimlessly scrolling(浏览)on social media.
