That seemed comfortably far away to prevent me panicking too much, but also definitive enough to fool myself into thinking I’d give up before it killed me. But then my thirties came and went and nothing happened.Then, my aunt died from lung cancer. I had a moment of fear: unless I decide to stop smoking, there will be a high probability that at some point in my life I’ll have a cough or some other symptom (症状) and it will be cancer or a similar awful disease. Still, I didn’t act.But I couldn’t help beginning a good, hard think about my smoking and what I was going to do about it. The more I thought about it, the more I questioned what I really loved about it. Then came the sudden realization: I was an addict-I was making all the kind of excuses that the alcohol and drug addicts made.I decided to quit. But after a few days when out for drinks with friends, I yielded to temptation (诱惑) and had one. The next day I bought a pack of cigarettes and my very first quit attempt was well and truly a failure. But I learned from this and decided the next attempt would be better planned. I investigated different options online, and met with a smoking cessation (戒烟) nurse at my local surgery who used some techniques to change my thinking about smoking.With all the support around me, I felt so confident about my ability to quit. I actually looked forward to the date I’d set to stop. That was nearly 10 years ago and I haven’t looked back. Of course, in the early days it wasn’t always plain sailing. There were times when I was weak and times when I nearly slipped up. But I was prepared for this and didn’t let it throw me off. Stopping smoking was one of the best things I’ve ever done.4.What can we know about the author from the first two paragraphs?A.He was ignorant of cigarettes.B.He cared little about his health.D.He didn’t make up his mind to quit smoking.5.What inspired the author to make the first quit attempt?A.His self-analysis.B.Worsening health.C.Symptoms of lung cancer.D.Loss of a family member.6.What does the underlined phrase “yielded to” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Came up with.B.Gave in to.C.Stepped out of.D.Broke away from.7.Which can best describe the second attempt?A.It was fruitless.B.It lasted for 10 years.C.It was a determined attempt.D.It was abandoned halfway.It’s a familiar plot in movies and books: A bright-eyed man moves to the big city in search of fame and fortune. In the noises and lights, all hopes and dreams come true. But why do we stick to this old story? In Four Lost Cities, author Annalee Newitz explores ancient settlements to find out why people flood into big cities — and why they leave.The book is divided into four enjoyable, snack-sized sections, one for each city. Each section is accompanied by a handy map, drawn by artist Jason Thompson in an engaging cartoon style.Rather than dry history, Newitz makes a special effort to highlight the oddities and innovations that made these cities unique. Take Catalhöyük, the oldest city they feature, which boomed between 7500 and 5700 BC in what is now Turkey. This ancient city existed for nearly 2, 000 years despite lacking things that we might consider necessary for a city, such as roads, special public spaces or shopping areas.The section on Cahokia (AD 1050 to 1350) —located in what is now Illinois — offers an unexpected reason for a city’s emergence. Many people link cities with capitalism and trade. Cahokia’s 30-meter-tall pyramids, 20-hectare (公顷) squares and a population (at the time) bigger than Paris suggest that spiritual revival (复苏) can also build a large city. Cahokia and Angkor, which reached its peak from AD 800 to 1431 in what is now Cambodia, also show how cities can form when power gets concentrated in a few influential people.Each city, of course, eventually fell. But Newitz also reveals something else: Collapsing infrastructure (基础设施) provided the final push that kept people away. Here we spot ourBut Newitz’s vivid imaginings, bright language and boundless enthusiasm manage to keep the tone optimistic. These cities did end, yes. Yet the people lived on.8.Why is a bright-eyed man mentioned in paragraph 1?A.To introduce the topic.B.To raise some doubts.C.To make a comparison.D.To present a phenomenon.9.How is paragraph 3 developed?A.By citing data.B.By defining a term.C.By giving an example.D.By telling a story.10.What was the reason for the rise of Cahokia and Angkor?A.Trade.B.Capitalism.C.A large population.D.Concentration of power.11.What does the author think of Four Lost Cities?A.It features a cartoon style.B.It offers insight into our future.C.It consists of no original ideas.D.It promotes the ancient cultures.In the 20th century, conservationists set out to restore the Galapagos giant tortoise (巨型陆龟) on Española — and the island ecosystem. From 1963 to 2020, conservationists reintroduced nearly 2,000 Galapagos giant tortoises to Española. Since then, the tortoises have continued to multiply in the wild, causing the population to blossom to an estimated 3,000. They’ve also seen the ecological transformation of Española.The tortoises’ return has also helped the critically endangered waved albatross (信天翁) — a species that multiplies only on Española. During the island’s woody times, Maud Quinzin, a conservation geneticist who has previously worked with Galapagos tortoises, says that people had to repeatedly clear the areas the seabirds use as runways to take off and land. Now, if the landing places are getting overgrown, they’ll move tortoises into the area to take care of it for them. The secret to this success is that — much like brown bears and elephants — giant tortoises are ecological architects. As they wander around, they change the landscape. They step on young trees and bushes before they can grow big enough to block the albatrosses’ way.The giant tortoises likewise have a big impact on the giant species of prickly pear cactuses (仙人掌梨) that call Española home — one of the tortoises’ favorite foods and anleaves, they prevent them from taking root and competing with their parents. And, after they eat the cactus’s fruit, they drop the seeds across the island, offering a protective shell of fertilizer.The extent of these and other ecological effects of the tortoise are documented in a new study by James Gibbs, a conservation scientist of the giant tortoise restoration program. The results, he says, are a good sign for other rewilding projects that include giant tortoise restoration as a keystone of their efforts, such as those underway on other islands of the Galapagos and the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean.12.What is a result of reintroducing the Galapagos giant tortoise to Española?A.Endangerment of other species.B.Restoration of the local ecosystem.C.Decrease in giant tortoises’ population.D.Transformation of rewilding projects.13.How did the giant tortoise influence the waved albatross?A.By reducing the extent of woody plants.B.By spreading the seeds of a key species.C.By creating more living habitats for them.D.By limiting the number of their competitors.14.What is James Gibbs’s attitude towards the giant tortoise project?A.Unclear.B.Reserved.C.Positive.D.Dismissive. 15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Endangered Species Is Hard to Be RestoredB.Once-endangered Species Blossom in Galapagos IslandsC.Española Became a Wonderland for Galapagos Giant TortoisesD.Galapagos Giant Tortoises Prove Their Worth as Ecosystem Engineers二、七选五High-hope people are optimistic about their future and they believe in possibilities. They see challenges as opportunities to grow and learn, rather than as obstacles (障碍). Here’s a tip sheet to get you into the habit of hope.They know that without a clear goal, it’s easy to get distracted and lose focus. Meanwhile, they don’t let life happen to them. Instead, they actively make decisions and take action to move forward in their lives. They usually visualize their goals and create conditions that set them up for success.Being around positive people is one way to keep an optimistic mind. Hopeful people tend to spend more time associating with those who share a bright attitude. 17 People high in hope don’t block themselves from folks who have a more pessimistic viewpoint. They know that seeing different perspectives allows them to be realistic.Hopeful people are always grateful for what they have. 18 They recognize that even though they may not have everything they want, they’re still lucky to have so much good in life, thus making them focus more on what’s in front of them.19 When it comes to high-hope people, no matter what life throws at them, they try to see the silver lining. They don’t let the circumstance define their emotional response. In addition to having a positive outlook, high-hope people are also creative problem-solvers. When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily. 20A.People high in hope do both.B.Keeping a positive outlook is also important.C.Another trick is sticking with positive people.D.This allows them to stay positive and take urgent action.E.That keeps them appreciative and grounded in the moment.F.Instead, they find solutions that help them overcome the obstacles in their way.G.However, this doesn’t mean they are intolerant of another person’s negativity or struggles.三、完形填空Denisar.practiced and could read a book 27 , I recorded it and e-mailed it to Captain Denisar.

Every morning, even before her mother awakens, she finishes cooking and cleaning before cycling 5 km to run her shop alone. Over the past year, she has sold about 200 0f her paintings, 50 of which were bought since she opened her shop in April this year.However, back in 2019. Rachna had almost given up on life after having to leave school due to family's financial problems. She became depressed, thinking she would have to spend the rest of her days doing household chores.Around this time, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) came into the picture with Project Lehar. Started to provide vocational training, entrepreneurship (创业) , and life skills courses to young women, Project Lehar, run by AKF in partnership with The King's Trust International, enables girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to rediscover and realize their potential. This was a good opportunity for Rachna to not just continue her studies but also to convince her parents to drop her marriage plans.After she was admitted into college through Project Lehar, she was also given some suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects.

As the name suggests, this type of memory stores the scenes of our life.Another type of memory that can also be suddenly remembered is semantic memory. Our semantic memory is the storehouse of our knowledge, containing all the facts we know.Usually, the recall of episodic and semantic memories has easily identifiable triggers(诱因) in our context. Context includes our physical surroundings as well as the aspects of our mental state, such as thoughts and feelings. For example, you're eating a dish at a restaurant, and its smell reminds you of a similar dish your mom used to make. This is episodic memory. When someone says the word "Oscar", the name of the movie that won the Oscar recently flashes in your mind. That belongs to semantic memory.These memories had obvious triggers in our context, but sometimes, the memories that flash in our minds have no identifiable triggers. They seem to flash across our minds out of nowhere; therefore, they've been called mind-pops(闪念) .Mind-pops shouldn't be confused with insight, which is the sudden popping up of a potential solution to a complex problem in the mind. Thus, mind-pops are semantic or autobiographical memories that suddenly flash in our minds without an easily identifiable trigger.Mind-pops may comprise any piece of information, be it an image, a sound, or a word. They're often experienced by people when they're engaged in mundane tasks like mopping the floor or brushing teeth. Such ordinary and unexciting routines tend to inspire something in our mind. For example, you're reading a book, and suddenly, the image of your school corridor pops into your mind for no reason. What you were reading or thinking at the time had no connection to your school.I do experience mind-pops from time to time. But when I tried to look for cues in my context that may have triggered my mind-pops, I would fail. Maybe such mind-pops are completely random.8.Which of the following might be episodic memory?A.You predict a heavy rain is on the way.B.A good idea flashes into your mind suddenly.C.A song reminds you of your middle school graduation.D.You think of a round shape when hearing the word "circle".9.What is a feature of mind-pops?A.They have obvious triggers. B.They come out without warning.C.They appear in the form of images. D.They often bring long-lasting memories.10.What does the underlined word " mundane" in paragraph 6 probably mean?A.Careful. B.Dull. C.Necessary. D.Challenging.11.What is the aim of this passage?A.To explore human inner thoughts.B.To point out the memory formation.C.To distinguish different memory scenes.D.To explain some similar memory phenomena.DA new study published in the journal Science Advances finds that AI enhances creativity by boosting the novelty of story ideas as well as the "usefulness" of stories—their ability to engage the target audience and potential for publication. It finds that AI "professionalizes" stories, making them more enjoyable, more likely to have plot twists, better written and less boring.In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a short, eight-sentence "micro story" for a target audience of young adults. They were divided into three groups: one group was allowed no AI help, a second group could use ChatGPT to provide a single three-sentence starting idea, and writers in the third group could choose from up to five AI-generated ideas for their inspiration.They then asked 600 people to judge how good the stories were, assessing them for novelty and "usefulness". They found that writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for novelty compared with stories written without AI. Writers who used up to five AI-generated ideas also scored higher for emotional characteristics, producing stories that were better written, more enjoyable, less boring and funnier.The researchers evaluated the writers' creativity using a Divergent Association Task( DA T) and found that more creative writers—those with the highest DAT score s—benefitted least from generative AI ideas.Less creative writers conversely saw a greater increase in creativity: access to five AI ideas improved novelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% compared with those who used no AI ideas. Their stories were judged to be up to 26.6% better written, up to 22.6% more enjoyable and up to 15.2% less boring.Anil Doshi, Assistant Professor at the UCL School of Management, said, “While these results point to an increase individual creativity, there is risk of losing collective novelty. If the publishing industry were to use more generative AI-inspired stories, our findings suggest that the stories would become less unique and more similar to each other. That is not encouraged in writing. ”12.What were some participants assigned to do in the study?A.Help targeted young writers.B.Improve some less creative works.C.Create a mini story for young men.D.Use AI to judge the quality of stories.13.Who benefitted most from the AI-assisted writing in the study?A.Those using AI most. B.Those of most creativity.C.Those with the help of ChatGPT. D.Those writing the most.14.What might be Anil Doshi's attitude toward the AI-assisted writing?A.Objective. B.Optimistic. C.Indifferent. D.Dismissive.15.What can be the best title for the passage?A.AI Is Being Used to Create Novel Stories Nowadays.B.AI Is Catching on But Threatening the Future of Writers.C.AI Can Boost Creativity in Writing But Has Its Disadvantages.D.AI Helps Improve Writing Skills But Is Limited to Young Writers.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ABeyond Facebook: The best travel social networks you need to knowWhen it comes to picking a destination for your next big vacation or even your next meal, nothing beats a personal recommendation from someone who has already made the trip. While you don’t always hear a ton about social networks for travelers, there are a number of great ones out there that can help you make those difficult decisions, and perhaps a few new friends in the process.1.WaynSometimes we can all benefit from a little inspiration. With Wayn, you search for new travel destinations based on the type of activities you’d like to do. For instance, you might type in skiing or diving and get suggestions on where the best places are to visit. Already know where you want to go? You can also search by destination and get tips from locals on what to do while you’re there.2.HellotelBusiness travel often means lonely travel. Hellotel creates a localized social network around the hotel you’re staying in, allowing y ou to connect with other nearby travelers(or locals) to grab a drink or do a little networking. Have a specific need? You can also ask the group questions about everything from restaurants to transportation options and get answers in real time.3.TroverA pi cture is worth a thousand words. Explore some of the world’s most exciting travel destinations through the photos of other travelers. Trover creates Instagram-like galleries you can explore with user-submitted photos from around the world. You can use the images to plan your next big getaway, or to just to take a virtual vacation from your office chair during your lunch break.21.What can be learned about from Wayn according to the passage?A. Specific food.B. Tips from the travelers.C. Types of activitiesD. Suggestions for drinks.22. Where can you enjoy other travelers’ photos of travel destinations?A. FacebookB. Wayn.C. Hellotel.D.

The tips about networks.BResearchers out of Melbourne have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid, making it much easier to store.Carbon capture isn’t new, but previous methods call for the gas to get into a liquid and then the mixed gas is forced into underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been blocked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their lasting and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst(催化剂) that is useful in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is then mixed in a container with some liquid and the liquid metal. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previousexperiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperatures, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further options when it comes to carbon storage.In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode(电极),which opens up a world of possibilities. “A si de benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles,” explains Dr. Dorna Esrafilzadeh, a Vice-Chancellor’s Research Fellow in RMIT’s School of Engin eering. “The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications.”24.What can we know about the previous methods?A.The previous methods are not very popular.B.The previous methods can be done easily.C.People have to inject a liquid to the gas.D.People made mistakes by previous methods.25.What is the special part of the new method?A.It can produce much solid carbon.B.It can be done in any kind of container.C.It doesn’t need extreme temperature.D.It needs electricity to make the progress.26.We can predict from the last paragraph that the new method_________.A.will be influenced by natureB.will influence the future industryC.will be used to make new vehiclesD.will make all the countries powerful27.What is the best title for the passage?A.A new method to increase CO2B.A new carbon capture technologyC.A new technology to get useful carbonD.An Australian advanced carbon batteryCThose of you who are bad at math may some day be able to improve your skills through a painless method of electrical brain stimulation(刺激).In a study, neuroscientists at Oxford University reported that adults with normal math abilities were able to improve their performance on a series of numerical tests with the help of a technique known as transcranial direct-current stimulation (TDCS).TDCS involves stimulating specific regions of the brain with low-level electrical currents to improve or reduce the activity of neurons (神经细胞). Over the last decade, the procedure has shown promise in improving brain functions in stroke (中风) victims, as well as in people with Parkinson’s disease. But this is the first study to show that TDCS can help healthy individuals do better on math tests.For the study, Cohen Dosh and his colleagues studied 15 student volunteers. The students were asked to learn a series of artificial numbers. “As our aim is eventually to help children when they are experiencing learning difficulties with numbers, we wanted the adult subjects to learn new materials rather than testing them with materials that they already knew,” Cohen Dosh explained.His team tested the participants’ ability to judge the relationships of the artificial numbers to one another and to map them correctly in space using standard testing methods for numerical ability.The results of the tests showed that the brain stimulation improved the participants’ ability to learn the new numbers and that those improvements lasted for six months. Control tests showed that the effect was specific to the learned symbols and did not affect other cognitive(认知的) functions.“Like many good studies, it opens a window for lots of questions, including ‘Will this work on children?’ and ‘Is it safe to use in children?” said Dr. Edwin M. Robertson.“Our aim is to find a way to improve cognitive treatment by coupling it with harmless and painless brain stimulation,” said Cohen Dosh. “The experiments that we are doing have been designed to improve leaning disabilities, but of course they can be used by others to improve average math performance, and we don’t have any control over that.”28.According to the text, TDCS has been applied in the field of _______.A.physicsB. psychologyC. educationD. medicine29.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to _______A.the artificial numbersB. the adult subjectsC. the new materialsD. the learning difficulties30.The attitude of Dr. Robertson toward Dosh’s technique is _______.A.neutralB. excitedC. indifferentD. disapproving31.What is the main idea of the text?A.A way has been found to improve the math skills of adults.B.Teacher can stimulate the math skills of students with electricity.C.Electric shocks may reduce one’s ability to calculate.D.Math skills improve with electrical brain stimulationDI grew up in a family that loved Halloween and eagerly accepted seasonal opportunities to create numbers of scary situations. There was something in the tacit(默认的) agreement about being scared on Halloween that made it okay to take things to another level. Whether for front yard decorations or the theatrical, haunted(闹鬼的) house we ran, the people stepping up knew what they were in for.Our haunted house had an age restriction against children 12 and under. The restriction was not only meant to protect kids with big imaginations, but it could also let the adults in the group enjoy the experience without having to watch out for younger ones with them. Even so, we had adults get scared. One woman crawled out in a mid-show. But everyone knew that, if at any point they got too scared, they just ha d to say, “I want out.” A penlight would turn on, one of us would grab onto their arm, and we would lead them off into the dark---ten seconds and done. Then the person stepped into the light of the basement stairwell, having an early teenage version of someone like me pull off a black mask and ask if they were okay.The goal was never to make them feel bad; it was to make them feel comfortable. If they seemed calm enough, sometimes we asked if they wanted to join back up in the last room. We would give a ve ry basic description of what would happen. Some of them didn’t, but some of them did. There was no point in trying to convince someone who no longer wanted to be scared. Everyone deserves to get a chance to enjoy the day in their own way and on their own terms.32.Why did the writer’s family place an age restriction?A.To help the adults have a great time.B.To prevent kids from imagining fiercely.C.To protect people from the haunted house.D.To help the adults watch out for younger kids.33.If a man was too afraid, what could he do?A.Turn on a penlight.B.Run out of the house.C.Lead others into the dark.D.Say that he wants to go out.34.Which word can best describe the purpose of the activity?A.BadB. Just so-soC. Human-basedD. Childish35.Which of the following would be the best title for this text?A.An Exciting HalloweenB.Scary Situations That I RememberC.Be Afraid, but Only If You Want to BeD.Is It Important to Convince Someone?第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Grandma moved it there from the farm. 33 I’ve always regarded it as an overgrown weed.We kept the largest garden in the neighborhood.

First, you can take rhubard out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the rhubard. And second, rhubard’s taste may be lost on children, but adults can 50 it.
