(A)
Is it a celebrity’s （名人）job to be a good role model? Please read the following students’ debate.
Pros（正方）Cons（反方）
It’s a celebrity’s job to be a good role model because people usually look up to stars. If a celebrity drinks and smokes, his fans will follow him because they look up to the celebrity so much. If a celebrity’s lifestyle is improper for kids, then their parents should be more careful about what they let their kids see.
A celebrity doesn’t have to try to be a good role model. They are famous because they worked hard at what they love for a living. They should try to make good choices for themselves, not their fans. Lots of stars have to post apology（道歉）letters after being caught doing bad things. It’s good, but if the only reason is to win back their fans, it’s not good.
I think everyone should try to be a good role model, even if you are not a celebrity! You can still be a role model to your sisters and brothers, a younger neighbor, or anyone. But I think celebrities should be very good, because they are role models for so many people!
Although it is a wonderful thing to be a good role model, that’s not what the celebrities must do. They are famous because they love what they do and are good at it. Being a role model is never in the job. If the celebrity knows they are affecting the young people, they should try hard to set a good example.
46. Which of the following reasons is NOT from the pros?
A. People look up to the celebrities.
B. Everyone should try to be a good role model.
C. Celebrities get much love and support from fans.
D. Celebrities are models for many people.
47. According to the cons, how do some people become famous?
A. By working hard at what they love.
B. By setting a good example to others.
C. By affecting the young people.
D. By making good choices for themselves.
48. What can we learn from their words?
A. It is easy for stars to win back fans.
B. Stars may sometimes do something wrong.
C. Family members should encourage kids to be stars.
D. Even though a celebrity makes mistakes, young people should follow him.
【答案】46. C 47. A 48. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。

文章针对是否成为好的榜样是名人的责任这一议题，给出了正反两方面的观点。

【46题详解】
细节理解题。

根据“his fans will follow him because they look up to the celebrity so much.”可知，人们仰慕名人，排除A；根据“I think everyone should try to be a good role model,”可知，每个人都应尽力成为一个好的榜样，排除B；根据“But I think celebrities should be very good, because they are role models for so many people!”可知，名人是很多人的榜样，排除D。

故选C。

【47题详解】
细节理解题。

根据“They are famous because they worked hard at what they love for a living.”可知，名人之所以著名，是因为他们努力做他们喜欢的事情来谋生。

故选A。

【48题详解】
细节理解题。

根据“Lots of stars have to post apology（道歉）letters after being caught doing bad things.”可
知，很多明星在被抓到做坏事后不得不发布道歉信，由此可知，有时明星可能会做一些错误的事情。

故选B。

(B)
Jiangsu province is a land of abundance. As the traditional tea processing techniques in China were added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表名录) on November 29, 2022, tea culture in Jiangsu province attracts attention again.
Fuchun pastry
Fuchun teahouse lies in an alley in Yangzhou. Although it is not located in the very heart of the city, it attracts a large army of customers to come every year.
Built in 1885, Fuchun teahouse was a flower shop and became a place for people to drink tea then. It started to offer different kinds of pastries until the owner introduced them, which not only perfectly matched the traditional Chinesetea, but also represented a kind of artistry from the kitchen. Fuchun pastry craft was listed in the national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
green tea
Biluochun green tea is a time-honored tea produced from Suzhou. ____①____ With companion planting, local people let the tea grow with other fruit trees, such as loquat trees and waxberry trees, leaving the tea a special fruit aroma. ____②____ These kind of curly tea leaves were included as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2011.
____③____. Every spring, farmers pick up the tender shots, and after a series of processing steps, yuhua tea comes into the market. This pine needle-like tea leaves has a special aroma and flavor. ____④____ The yuhua tea making craft was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2021.

【答案】49. A 50. B 51. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

本文主要介绍了江苏省各个城市的茶文化。

【49题详解】
细节理解题。

根据“Built in 1885, Fuchun teahouse was a flower shop ”可知，富春茶馆在1885年初建时是一个花店。

故选A。

【50题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据上文“local people let the tea grow with other fruit trees, such as loquat trees and waxberry trees”可知，茶树和别的水果树种在一起，故可推测茶叶会有一种水果的香味，划线单词表示“芳香，香味”。

故选B。

【51题详解】
推理判断题。

根据”Every spring, farmers pick up the tender shots, and after a series of processing steps, yuhua tea comes into the market”可知，这里是在描述玉华茶叶上市的过程，所以此句“nother kind of green tea is yuhua
tea from Nanjing另一种绿茶是来自南京的玉华茶叶”来引领下文，符合语境。

故选C。

(C)
Have you ever paid for educational podcasts (播客)or live videos? Ask some people and most of them will say yes. "Pay-for-knowledge" has been more and more fashionable these years. The contents of these "pay-for-knowledge" products are from language learning to gardening or baby-caring. Everything you think of can be
found online at this moment. "Pay-for-knowledge" is on the rise(兴起).
Why is "pay-for-knowledge" industry developing so rapidly? First, its development is based on the Internet.
With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity(身份) check can be an online teacher,
and anyone with an online account can buy "pay-for-knowledge" products that he or she wants at an affordable price. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. On one hand, people hope for more useful information.
On the other hand, such information is usually at the hands of experts (专家) who serve well-known companies and universities. Moreover, the need to learn new skills in today's job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts.
The industry of "pay-for-knowledge" has proved to be lucrative. It promises possibilities of turning information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. What's more, this is a reflection(反映)of respect for knowledge and talents.
However, the rapid development of "pay-for-knowledge" has a few problems. For one thing, the market is full
of eye-catching words such as "How to be an Industry's Expert in 5 Hours" and "15 Classes to Be a Master of Appreciating (欣赏) Classical Music", which sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a
large number of customers buy them just for showing off. In fact, those who have really had self-growth after
buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least. In other words, with or without these courses, they can make it anyway, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves.
In general, the best is the one that suits you most. "Pay-for-knowledge" may be used as a good start for self-growth. Be careful! Otherwise, your dream of success may not come true.
52. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

阅读下面短文，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。

Did you know that almost 8 million tons of plastic enter our oceans every year? There are many factors that contribute to this pollution, including microfibers. ____56____ In addition, microfibers can also be found in human waste. Studies show that we are constantly exposed to microplastic through our food, our water, and even the air we breathe.
Microfibers are tiny synthetic fibers that are created from small bits of plastic. They make up materials such as polyester, rayon, nylon, and acrylic and are the most common type of microplastic found in the environment.
____57____ Swedish manufacturers produced a variety of these materials, making it one of the most popular in Europe. By the early 2000s, items made of microfiber became popular worldwide. The material was — and still is — cheap, highly durable (耐用的), and water-resistant. Because of these features, it is used for a variety of reasons, such as cleaning, homeware, clothes, and accessories.
Unluckily, when these synthetic items are washed, they release microfibers. Washing one load of synthetic clothes can release millions of fibers. Although wastewater treatment factories catch most of these fibers, some pass through because of their small size, entering our waterways and polluting the environment. They are also difficult to collect and clean, ____58____
How Can We Help?
Fortunately, prevention starts right at home! Research has concluded that there are many ways to reduce the spread of microfibers. Some include the following:
●____59____
● Air-drying clothes also saves energy and reduces water consumption
● Avoiding half-loads of laundry
● Using a front-loading washing machine
It’s a common misunderstanding that wearing cotton instead of synthetic material is environmentally friendly. Researchers claim that cotton clothes often release (释放) chemicals, which is another cause of harm to the environment. Ultimately, scientists theorize that developing better materials is the best solution.
____60____ they do not completely get rid of (清除) the ones already in the environment. Luckily, companies in the apparel industry as well as NGOs and researchers are actively trying to develop technology to clean our oceans and the environment. For now, we all can take small steps to do our part in restoring our beautiful planet.
A. But no one knows how to protect the environment.
B so it is important to prevent them from entering the environment in the first place.
.
C. The growing popularity of this material dates back (追溯) to the early 1990s.
D. What matters most is to prevent the spread of microfibers.
E. Although these solutions prevent the spread of microfibers,
F. They have been found in shorelines, seafloors, and even snow.
G. Reducing the washing of synthetic material
