文章主要介绍了四种饮料的情况。

13. Every drink has a destination that defines it. In turn, these drinks become the local pride and develop their own distinctive personality. As you
travel around, you’ll discover how every place has its own style.
M int T ea — M orocco
Most Moroccan families have an additional fine tea service only for special occasions and visiting guests. Mint tea is simply hot water with dried peppermint, and much sugar. Be warned: sometimes the tea may make your cheeks hurt.
Gahwa — United Arab E mirates
Centuries ago, Arabians noticed their goats became very active after chewing coffee berries, and so made their own energy drink out of it, and thus gahwa — Arabic coffee — and the world’s first coffee culture was born. When you’re in the UAE, you’ll notice how important gahwa is for socialising, as it’s usually served at family gatherings and business meetings.
T equila — M exico
Mexico’s hero drink tequila has its roots in adventure, made from the hardy blue agave plant that grows in the red volcanic soils, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) site. If you find a worm in your bottle, be sure to send it back, as it’s likely not tequila but its low-quality cousin, mezcal.
Rakija — Croatia
In the Balkans, the locals begin their meals with a glass of rakija, which is confidence if ever we’ve seen it. Produced using primarily herbs, rakija is both the national drink and usually homemade. Rakija is traditionally used as a medicinal drink.
1. Which drink is sweet?
A．Gahwa.B．Tequila.C．Rakija.D．Mint Tea.
2. What do we know about Gahwa?
A．It led to the birth of coffee culture.B．It had its roots in adventure.
C．It hurt the drinker’s cheeks.D．It originated from Croatia.
3. What makes Rakija different from the other three drinks?
A．Its raw material.B．Its long history.
C．Its medical function.D．Its productive process.
14. Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy and quick to learn English. There is even a
reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. But many people must believe these ridiculous claims,or else the advertisements would not appear.
Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but too many cannot afford to do so.
Some go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good pronunciation and intonation.
Most teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making sentences. If we were
parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren’t, because it would make it easier to use their methods.
In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real.
There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people to talk to and listen to when we communicate. They can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life language.
1. Many people believe advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses probably because .
A．they are encouraged by William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens
B．they are eager to learn and then believe them
C．the ways advertised can help them to save time and efforts
D．the ways advertised prove effective and helpful
2. What may behaviorists argue towards English learning?
A．Human beings make more interesting noises than parrots and chimpanzees.
B．Human beings should relate their speech to their own lives.
C．Language is a formula with lots of repetitions and practices.
D．Language is a means of communication.
3. What opinion does the author hold?
A．A quick method that suits all the students does exist.
B．English can be mastered within a very short period of time.
C．Each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language.
D．No one can learn English well without being interested in it.
4. What ways of learning is suggested by the author?
A．Study abroad.
B．Learn communicatively and situationally.
C．Follow the behaviorists’ approach.
D．Teach oneself at home with dictionaries.

文章主要说明了如今电影时间越来越长的现象，介绍了电影时间增加的起源以及背后的原因。

15. On October 20th comes “Killers of the Flower Moon” from the director Martin Scorsese. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long. During the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, some viewers dozed off. Afterwards there was a mad dash (and long queue) for the toilets. When did watching a film become such a labor?
Film-makers started producing long-lasting movies at a rapid pace in the early 1960s. Cinema was booming and filmmakers wanted to distinguish their art from television. Epics surpassing the three-and-a-half hour mark graced the silver screen. Back then, audiences enjoyed an interval while the projectionist prepared the reels for the next act. Runtimes of popular films experienced ups and downs over subsequent decades. But they have ballooned since 2018.
Movie series is one driver of this trend. Studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property, but they are competing with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out blockbuster (大片) will tempt audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: “A vengers: Endgame” (2019), which showcased Marvel superheroes remarkably with a runtime of three hours, achieved the highest box office revenue among all films in that year.
Anything that attracts people away from their sofas to see a film in theatres is good news for cinemas. But lengthy runtimes also pose a “fundamental problem”, complains Clare Binns of Picturehouse, a British cinema group and film distributor. Long movies can mean abandoning two showings per night, which hurts ticket sales and profits.
Another explanation for longer films has to do with directors’ growing influence. Who would dare tell the likes of Mr Nolan to shorten his masterpieces? Streamers, which do not have to worry as much about concision because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names with deep pockets and promises of creative freedom. “Killers of the Flower Moon” will debut on AppleTV+ after its theatrical release.
1. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A．Movie fans tend to have a dislike for long movies.
B．Movie theaters should provide adequate restrooms.
C．The average movie fan cannot focus for over three hours.
D．Long movies affect audience engagement and physical comfort.
2. What does the underlined word “ballooned” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Expanded with air.B．Made great profits.
C．Enjoyed great popularity D．Increased rapidly in length.
3. Why does the author mention the movie “Avengers: Endgame”?
A．To demonstrate the trend of longer movies.
B．To highlight the success of Marvel series.
C．To illustrate the strong appeal of movie series.
D．To emphasize the studio-streaming platform contest.
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Movie Marathons: Past and Present B．Long Movies: Impacts and Reasons
C．Filmmaking: Challenges and Rewards D．Streaming Platforms: Promising and Profitable
16. People worry that developments in Artificial Intelligence, or A.I., will bring about a point in history when A. I. overtakes human intelligence, leading to an unimaginable revolution in human affairs. Or they wonder whether instead of our controlling artificial intelligence, it will control us.
The situation may not arise for hundreds of years to come, but this doesn’t mean we have nothing to worry about. On the contrary, The A. I. products that now exist are improving faster than most people realize and promise to fundamentally transform our world, not always for the better. They are only tools, not a competing form of intelligence. But they will reshape what work means and how wealth is created.
Unlike the Industrial Revolution and the Computer Revolution, the A. I. revolution is not taking certain jobs and replacing them with other jobs. Instead, it is believed to cause a wide - scale elimination of jobs -- mostly lower - paying jobs, but some higher - paying ones, too.
This transformation will result in enormous profits for the companies that develop A.I., as well as for the companies that adopt it. We are thus facing two developments that do not sit easily together; enormous wealth concentrated in relatively few hands and enormous numbers of people out of work. What is to be done?
Part of the answer will involve educating or retraining people in tasks A.I. tools aren’t good at. Artificial intelligence is poorly suited for jobs involving creativity, planning and “cross - field” thinking. But these skills are typically required by high - paying jobs that may be hard to retrain displaced workers to do. More promising are lower - paying jobs involving the “people skills” that A.I. lacks: social workers, barmen, doormen --professions requiring human interaction. But how many barmen does a society really need?
The solution to the problem of mass unemployment will involve “service jobs of love.” These are jobs that A. I. cannot do, that society needs and that give people a sense of purpose. Examples include accompanying an older person to visit a doctor, helping at an orphanage and serving as a sponsor at charity organization. The volunteer service jobs of today, in other words, may turn into the real jobs of the future.
Other volunteer jobs may be higher - paying and professional, such as compassionate medial service providers. In all cases, people will be able to choose to work fewer hours than they do now.
1. In what aspect is the
A．I. revolution different from the Industrial or the Computer revolution?
A. The A.I. revolution will finally become one beyond human’s control.
B．A. I. is believed to lead to a point in history when it takes over human intelligence.
C．Higher - paying jobs will take the place of lower-paying ones in the A.I. revolution.
D．It may bring about mass unemployment to matter how much employees are paid.
2. The underlined word “promising” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.
A．promotional B．demanding
C．guaranteed D．potential
3. What does the author suggest in the face of the A.I. revolution?
A．It is sensible to encourage people to take volunteer jobs.
B．People should be instructed to do less demanding jobs.
C．The problem of job loss can be solved by creating lower-paying jobs.
D．Jobs requiring knowledge in different fields are suitable for displaced workers.
4. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?
A．The A.I. Revolution Creates New Job Opportunities.
B．Challenges the A. I. Revolution Brings to Job Market.
C．A Double - edged Sword: the A.I. Revolution.
D．Interrelationship between A.I. and Unemployment.

文章主要介绍Starlink是SpaceX公司的一种新型卫星互联网系统，其在迅速改变世界。

同时介绍了它的优缺点。

18. 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Starlink, a new satellite Internet system from the company SpaceX, 1 (change) the world more quickly nowadays than many people expected. Not only can the system be very useful in remote areas and emergency situations, 2 it also presents several important problems.
Before Starlink, most satellite Internet service was based on satellites that 3 (constant) remained above one point on Earth. This means that signals from farther away need to travel a long distance, causing delays.
Starlink has a web of satellites moving in a low orbit around the Earth. Because the satellites are closer, the speeds are 4 (fast). This makes the service better for things that need to happen 5 delays, like holding meetings over the Internet.
SpaceX isn’t the only company 6 works to provide this kind of satellite Internet service. For example, OneWeb is a British company 7 (develop) a similar satellite Internet service. But Starlink is farther along than most others. Starlink currently works in 31 8 (country), but SpaceX plans to expand the service 9 (cover) the whole world.
Astronomers have complained that Starlink satellites are causing light 10 (pollute). This makes it harder to study things in space without satellites getting in the way. SpaceX has worked to reduce the light from Starlink satellites.。
