【解答】答案：We cooked a big dinner at home instead of eating out last weekend.
结合提示词和标点可知这是个肯定句；根据所给词语，主语是we，根据时间状语可知，谓语动词是cooked；instead of为介词短语，后面跟动名词形式，意为"而不是"，前后之间形成对比，由此可知eating out放在instead of后面；时间状语last weekend放于句末。由此连成句子：We cooked a big dinner at home instead of eating out last weekend. 句意：上周末，我们在家做了一顿丰盛的晚餐，而不是在外面吃。故答案是：We cooked a big dinner at home instead of eating out last weekend.
【点评】做连词成句这种类型的题，首先确定句子类型，然后根据所给单词，明确主语、谓语等句子成分，在确定句意的前提下结合语法知识组合句子。

Mapping out the future
Last summer, my parents and I took a drive to another state. Before we started on our road trip, we packed up the car with snacks, water, and music. Thankfully, we also packed our GPS. A few hours into the trip, we took a wrong turn. But our trusty GPS pulled up a map of the area and got us back on track in no time. It made me wonder: Who creates maps in the first place? After some searching online, I learned that the people responsible for mapping out roads, mountains, oceans, and other places around the world are called cartographers. I did some reading about the career. Here’s what I found:
What does a cartographer do?
Cartographers, also called mapmakers, study and interpret (诠释) geographic information. They use this information to make detailed maps of places around the globe. Some of these maps are digital. They are often used in GPS systems. Other maps are printed in books. To do their work, cartographers put together information from many different places. They also use ground surveys. Some do ground surveys themselves. Most cartographers, however, rely on surveyors for this important information. Surveyors collect information for mapmaking. They measure land, air space, and water areas.
What does it take to be a cartographer?
Most cartographers have a bachelor’s (学士) degree. The degree might be in cartography, geography, or something similar. Students who are interested in becoming cartographers should learn as much as they can about geography. It also helps to take courses in maths and computer science.
With the rise of computer-based tools such as GPS systems, cartographers need stronger computer skills than they did in the past.
How much do cartographers make?
The average yearly salary for cartographers is $54,000. The lowest 10 percent earns less than $32,000. The top 10 percent earns more than $92,000.
63
In the U.S., job opportunities for cartographers are expected to grow. This is due to the increasing use of maps in the armed forces. Also, digital maps have increasingly become a main part of many GPS systems and Web sites.
Based on what I’ve read about cartographers, I’d say that their work is very important to a lot of people. Next time a map keeps me from getting lost, I’ll be sure to thank a cartographer!
59. In Para 1, the author included his experience in order to _______________.
A. prove that a GPS is only needed when driving to another place
B. show that it is important to pack snacks for a trip
C. provide a reason why a mapmaker’s work is important
D. show that the GPS is not always reliable
60. The author talked about cartographers from ____________ aspects.
A. three B. four C. five D. six
61. Surveyors can do all these following things except ______________.
A. do ground surveys B. collect information
C. do some mapping D. do some measuring
62. Elizabeth begins working as a cartographer with a starting salary of $34,000. Every year, her salary increases by $1,500. If she continues in this position, her salary will be ______________ for her 12th year of work.
A. of the lowest 10 percent B. of the top 10 percent
C. of average D. below average
63. What best fits the blank?
A. Will more cartographers be needed? B. Will the cartographers be replaced by robots?
C. Why is it hard for cartographers to find jobs? D. Why do cartographers make different maps?
64. The article would be most useful as a source for a student research project on _______________.
A. influential jobs for computermen B. career possibilities for people who dislike maths
C. famous explorers and mapmakers D. career choosing for people interested in geography

59. C. 考查细节理解题。根据第一段But our trusty GPS pulled up a map of the area and got us back on track in no time. 可靠的全球定位系统调出了该地区的地图，让我们很快回到轨道。以及后面 After some searching online. I learned that the people responsible for mapping out roads, mountains, oceans, and other places around the world are called cartographers. 我了解到负责绘制道路、山脉、海洋和世界其他地方地图的人被称为制图员。由此可知，作者将自己的经验包括在内，以便说明为什么地图绘制者的工作很重要。故选C。
60. B. 细节理解题。根据四个问题What does a cartographer do? What does it take to be a cartographer? How much do cartographers make? 以及第四个空缺部分，可知，作者从四方面谈论了制图员的工作。故选B。
61. C. 细节理解题。根据第二段They also use ground surveys. Some do ground surveys themselves. Most cartographers, however, rely on surveyors for this important information. Surveyors collect information for mapmaking. They measure land, air space, and water areas. 制图员还使用地面测量。有些人自己做地面勘测。然而，大多数制图员依靠测量员来获取这些重要信息。测量员为制图收集信息。他们测量陆地、空中和水域。由此可知，测量员做地面勘测、收集信息、测量三项工作，故选C.
62. D. 计算分析题。根据题目，"伊丽莎白开始从事制图工作，起薪34000美元。她的薪水每年增加1500美元。如果她继续担任这个职位，12年后她的薪水会怎么样？1500*12＝18,000美元，这是12年增加的部分，34,000+18,000＝52,000美元，这是她12年后的年薪，根据第四段The average yearly salary for cartographers is $54,000. 制图员的平均年薪是54000美元。由此可知，伊丽莎白的年薪在平均数以下，故选D。
63. A. 细节推理题。根据下文 In the U.S., job opportunities for cartographers are expected to grow. 在美国，制图员的工作机会有望增加。This is due to the increasing use of maps in the armed forces. Also, digital maps have increasingly become a main part of many GPS systems and Web sites. 这是由于武装部队越来越多地使用地图。此外，数字地图已日益成为许多GPS系统和网站的主要组成部分。由此可知这里介绍制图员的工作前景，未来将需要更我的制图员吗？故选A。
64. D. 主旨题。根据全篇文章，这篇文章将是最有用的资料来源，为哪方面的学生研究项目？全篇都在讲关于cartographers的内容，包括制图者的工作内容、怎么成为制图者、制图者的薪资及工作机会。所以对于地理感兴趣的人的职业选择是最用帮助的。故答案是D。
【点评】阅读理解题要求理解文章大意，浏览题干后带着问题到文中寻找相关内容从而得出答案。本题多为细节理解题，在文中很容易找到答案；而推理判断题则需要根据题干找出相关语境，在理解语境的基础上经过推理得出答案，相对之下难度会大些。

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
Eat Your Schoolwork!
At a farmers’ market in Las Vegas, the tables have been turned. Here, the students do the teaching.
“This is a summer squash,” one student explained to a shopper. “This is an Armenian cucumber.”
“It’s technically a melon,” his classmate said.
All the students were working at the outdoor market in 2019. They were selling food they grew themselves. The pride they felt was clear.
All these young gardeners are part of their school district’s Outdoor Garden Classroom Program. Students from more than 100 schools around Las Vegas have their own gardens. There they get their hands dirty while they learn. Twice a year, they also harvest and sell their “schoolwork” at the Giant Student Farmers’ Market. It is known to be the largest student-run farmers’ market in the country.
The program has grown since it began in 2013. Students work in teams with the support of their teachers. They take responsibility for all the different steps. Team members research what can grow in their climate. Then they discuss and plan their garden beds. They plant seeds, pluck weeds (除草), and water their crops. Some schools also have small orchards of fruit trees.
When the time is ripe, students harvest the fruits (and vegetables) of their labors. The produce is then prepared for eating or selling. Students manage the business end, too. They handle the money at the farmers’ market. They also plan how to spend the money they make. All earnings are plowed back (再投资) into the gardening program. Sometimes students carry some of the harvest home to share with their families.
School gardens also provide food for thought in classrooms. Science lessons may cover the biology of plants. Students study the nutrition of the foods they grow. Maths and measurements become tools for planning garden fields. In fact, studies have shown that garden programs help improve student achievement.
The Outdoor Garden Classroom Program has also built relationships with the surrounding community. Local volunteers visit schools to share their expert knowledge. Business leaders teach students about managing a business. Schools even invite area chefs (厨师) to show simple recipes made with school-grown ingredients.
From planning and planting to harvest and market, school gardens offer valuable learning experiences as well as fun. Young gardeners get a chance to practice skills that will serve them all their lives.

Akane is writing an email from Paris to her best friend Mari back in Japan. She’s in love and enjoys what she’s doing, but doesn’t know what to do about her future! Listen to her email.
Dear Mari,
I feel so much pressure. My course at the Arts College here is almost over. My life has changed so much. Now I’m sure I want to be an artist. But where? Lukas wants me to move to Finland. He’s amazing! It feels so natural to be with him. I’m so glad he’s in my life! But live in Finland?
I would be so alone in Finland, and I don’t have connections in the art world like I do back home.
My conversation with Mom was so hard. She and Dad are totally against the idea of me living in Europe. Dad seems to think that since they paid for my studies they can tell me how to live my life. And they are definitely against me marrying a foreigner. That’s not fair!
We talked about trying to live in Paris. I’d love that, but how could we make a living? There are thousands of starving artists here. And I can’t even get a working visa…unless we got married! But I’m not sure I’m ready for that. I’m so confused.
What should I do? I feel that all of my dreams may be about to come true. Or maybe none of them!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Akane

D. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences (听短文，用听到的单词完成下列句子。每空格限填一词)(10分)
Amanda Gorman, America’s first National Youth Poet winner, has made quite an impression it would seem.
Since Gorman delivered her poem ‘The Hill We Climb’ at a president’s inauguration (就职典礼), the sky appears to be the limit for the 22-year-old!
And now, it has been revealed that Gorman will be performing once again. This time, at the Super Bowl. This is a special event for the National Football League (NFL) in America and takes place each year.
It’s unusual for a poet to perform at this sort of event. After organizers heard her poem at the inauguration, they invited her to perform!
She will be writing and performing a poem that will show respect to teachers, nurses and retired soldiers. The poem will celebrate three individuals chosen by the NFL for their efforts during the pandemic.
It appears that people are keen to hear more from Amanda Gorman. Her books, which are set to be released in September this year, are already topping the lists.
Taking to her social media, Gorman said, “I AM ON THE FLOOR” and “Thank you so much everyone for supporting me and my words.”
