She passed away five years ago at the age of 65, but the impact she has left on the world of architecture is profound.Hadid was born into an upper-class Iraqi family in 1950. At the very beginning, she wanted to become a mathematician and studied science at the American University of Beirut, But at some point she realized that she preferred shapes to numbers. And she turned her concentration to architecture and went to London where she met the famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas.“There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?” Hadid once said. Despite her abundance of amazing ideas, before the beginning of the 90s, not a single building based on her blueprints had been built. Her highly expressive style, while initially criticized and believed to be crazy, is now regarded as pioneering work. Her striking contemporary architecture, inspired by natural landforms, has graced the skylines of major metropolitan cities.“Women are always being told, ‘you’re not going to make it; It’s too difficult. You can’t do that Don’t enter this competition; You’ll never win it’,” Hadid said. “They need confidence in themselves and people around them for support.”Never one to be boxed in by conventions, Hadid proved society wrong. She received her first prize, the “Gold Medal Architectural Design” for her British Architecture in 1982. From then on, the awards kept rolling in. But the true triumph for Hadid came in 2004. Her project for the London Olympics Aquatic Center won her the Pritzker Architecture Prize. She became the first woman and first Muslim to earn the award, making a name for herself and paving the way for female architects. Hadid’s genius lives on in the array of many other spectacular build ings she has left behind in the world. Among them are the Guangzhou Opera House, the Beijing Daxing International Airport, as well as the Al Wakrah Stadium in Qatar where the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held.Hadid may be gone, but her global influence on a new generation of female architects is here to stay.4.

China’s traditional tea-making was added on Tuesday to the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.The traditional tea processing techniques and associated social practices in China consist of knowledge, skills and practices concerning the management of tea plantations, picking of tea leaves, manual(手工的)processing, drinking and sharing of tea. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. Tea producers have developed six categories of tea: green, yellow, dark, white, oolong and black teas. Together with reprocessed teas, such as flower-scented teas, there are over 2, 000 tea products in China.Tea-related customs are not only found across the country, but also influence the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road and trade routes. Tea is ubiquitous in Chinese people’s daily life, as steeped(浸泡)or boiled tea is served in families, workplaces, tea houses, restaurants and temples, etc. It is also an important part of socialization and ceremonies such as weddings and sacrifices. The practice of greeting guests and building relationships within families and among neighbors through tea- related activities is common to multiple ethnic groups, providing a sense of shared identity and continuity for the communities.In China, 44 registered national-level intangible cultural heritage entries are related to tea. There are over 40 vocational colleges and 80 universities that have set up majors in tea science or tea culture, resulting in over 3,000 graduates specializing in tea production and art every year, according to the ministry.China now has 43 items on the intangible cultural heritage list, continuing to be the most enlisted country in the world.8.

Huang switched her major from physics to international communications studies at university.While she found great enjoyment in these courses, she still didn’t know what she could do in the future.“One day, I grab bed a sheet of paper and began drawing some shoe designs I saw online.It was at that moment that the light suddenly dawned.” recalled Huang.To her astonishment, Huang discovered while international luxury shoe brands like Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin are household names, Chinese brands are rarely seen.This finding fueled Huang’s determination to pursue her career as a shoe designer, hoping to fill the blank in the international market.After returning to China from the UK, Huang established her own s hoe brand.“I think Chinese students studying abroad today all share a strong sense of mission—to showcase what China truly has to offer to the world,” Huang said.Looking back, Huang said that she took a long time to finally find her lifelong passion.“Ther e is a saying that one must achieve fame at a young age, but I believe it is never too late to unlock one’s potential, since everyone operates on their unique ‘time zone’,” she said.Before her current career path, Huang never stopped trying new things, including garden design and dance.These diverse experiences have all become precious treasures in her life, nurturing her self-directed learning abilities, which have turned out to be essential skills for her startup business today.12.

What might Huang agree with?A．Well begun is half done.B．Think twice before you leap.C．Every step counts in your life.D．It matters much when you succeed.You know the feeling — your ears start to warm up, your tongue goes numb (麻木的), and you start sweating and taking deep brea ths. You’ve just eaten something spicy, knowing it would be painful, but you chose to do it anyway. Are humans just masochistic (自讨苦吃的), or is there something else going on? 16Spicy isn’t actually a taste like salty, sweet, sour and bitten —it’s a sens ation. 17 . When we eat foods containing capsaicin (辣椒素), our bodies are tricked into thinking the temperature is actually rising. In trying to relieve the burning sensation, our bodies release endorphins (内啡肽) which control pain and, at the same time, give a feeling of pleasure — like painkillers.This is what is happening chemically, but there is also a conscious side to choosing spicy food. Dr Tamara Rosenbaum, a Cognitive Neuroscientist, explains in an interview with the BBC that this is 18 . Furthermore, we obtain pleasure from the other ingredients chilli is generally cooked and eaten with—including fat, sugar and salt. So — like skydiving — eating chilli is a form of thrill-seeking, 19Humans, one of the few mammals on Earth that developed a taste for capsaicin, started cultivating chilli peppers about six thousand years ago. Human intervention changed the chilli pepper to suit human tastes and needs —including the pepper’s colour, size and capsaicin content-helping toexplain the many different types of chilli peppers now available. 20 . We eat around 57.3 million tons of peppers globally each year, and chilli is a key ingredient in traditional dishes from Mexico to Korea.When the bell rang on the last day of school, Susanna cheered along with her classmates.

Along with price, accessibility and preference, we’ll often use a food’s healthfulness to help us make a decision. 151It’s widely accepted by researchers that we need a varied diet. 152 The proof may be in the Mediterranean diet, which contains a lot of fruit, vegetables and healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil, and is frequently rated the healthiest diet by scientists.Eating lots of colours may lower your risk of missing out on all vital nutrients. “If we’re missing a colour of the rainbow, we may be missing a function of that food, “ says Minich. This is because plant foods contain thousands of natural compounds, which have anti-infiammatory(抗炎的)benefits.153Blue and purple foods, including blueberries, have a high content of the plant anthocyanin(花青素), which has been linked to lowering the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.A research fellow at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health says eating a colourful diet can also help people avoid possible side effects of eating too much of one food. “ 154 For example, research has found that orange juice is associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline, but too much intake is associated with type 2 diabetes, ” she says.Eating a rainbow diet may also be complex. 155 We could tie ourselves in knots. We also need to eat from other food groups to get all the nutrients we need, such as protein.A．Food is very complex.B．A varied diet is packed with different vegetables.C．It could be really tricky to get every colour every day.D．But how do we know we’re getting enough nutrients?E．Different coloured foods come with different benefits.F．However, is colour the best guide to getting all the nutrients?G．And one way to do this is by eating all the colours of the rainbow.（广东省华附、省实、广雅、深中四校2022-2023学年高三上学期期末联考英语试题）People refer to never forgetting how to ride a bike or throw a baseball as examples of “muscle memory”, the result of a motor learning. 156 It is a phenomenon that previously trained muscles acquire strength after a period of disuse.Previous research has shown that the changes actually persist in the muscles themselves. In one study of mice, the results suggest that after nuclei in muscle cells multiply in response to an overload of training, those extra nuclei aren’t lost during subsequent periods of inactivity. Once you have got additional nuclei, you are banking the capacity. 157In fact, a recent study revealed that less than eight weeks of retraining were needed to reach the post-training level. But how quickly you regain your former fitness depends on how fit you were initially, how long the layoff was, how old you are and how long you’d been exercising.158 It means you still have a distinct advantage when it comes to regaining your former level of fitness. And the principle applies to both resistance training and endurance training. The best way to regain your muscle memory is to start at a level below what you were accustomed to doing, and then gradually increase in terms of duration, frequency, then intensity. 159Ultimately, muscle memory is a payoff for all the past work you put into learning a sport. 160 Youwill never know how much muscle memory you may have until you start training again.A．The best way to tap into it is to “get back on the horse”.B．Physiologists, on the other hand, define it in a different way.C．This convinces the researchers that muscle memory may not be long lasting.D．That is to say, we can do the sports automatically without conscious thought.E．It is generally safe to increase these elements by 5 percent every week or two.F．It is evident that the more you exercise, the more muscle memory savings you will have.G．All this news about muscle memory is encouraging for those who fell off the fitness scheme.（广东省博罗县2022年高考模拟命题大赛英语试题）Self-forgiveness has been defined as the process by which you become aware of any damage you’ve caused, seek to repair it, and eliminate or reduce your feelings of self-condemnation and guilt.Forgiving yourself entails experiencing feelings of self-condemnation. 161 However, you must be careful not to confuse self-forgiveness with self-indulgence, self-deception, and narcissism. Forgiving yourself, on the other hand, means reestablishing your self-concept, rejoining your recognized path, and amending your mistakes.Self-forgiveness involves changing the way you think about your past mistakes. It’s of vital importance to stop interpreting them as sources of shame and regret. 162 In reality, relating in a healthier way with your past is essential to recognize and value your changes and to help your personal growth.163 In order to forgive yourself, you must, first of all, recognize your mistakes in the situation that’s causing you to feel guilty. From there, you can clearly express your will to repair the damage and to empathize with those who’ve been affected by your actions.The ability to forgive yourself also implies your firm belief that change is possible. 164 As a matter of fact, it simply means you’re aware of it. In addition, you’re aware of the importance of identifying what you can change in yourself to avoid repeating the same mistake in the future.Finally, the last dimension of self-forgiveness is the awareness that you’re only human, hence, not perfect. Consequently, you’re capable of failing at any point in your life. Recognizing yourself as part of humanity can also help you to be more compassionate towards others. 165A．Self-forgiveness goes beyond feelings of self-pity.B．This doesn’t refer to ignoring the fault you committed.C．Self-forgiveness promotes your justice and reparation to others.D．These are later replaced by the feeling of need to repair your mistakes.E．You need to regard them as part of the process of becoming who you are.F．Realizing this may be the first step you need to better face your future mistakes.G．This means you’ll be more understanding and flexible in the face of others’ mistakes.（2023届广东省茂名高州市高三第一次模拟考试英语试题）Wherever you live you all want a home where you can just get in and forget the outside world. People don’t often turn it into what they want because they worry about the cost. 166 －you don’t need to spend a lot of money in order to make your home cozy (温暖舒适的). Here are some inexpensive ways to get you started.ClearThe first thing you need to do before buying or rearranging anything is clear. 167 . There is no way to turn a cluttered (杂乱的) space into an inviting one without organizing it. So, the first thing you do is clear. You don’t have to throw out everything—clearing can be an ongoing process that takes time, and that’s okay.Add Greenery168 . Aside from the eye-pleasing effect plants and flowers have, they also remove toxins (毒素) from the air, making your environment healthier. If that isn’t enough for you, they tend to help calm people down.Try Darker ColorsAnother thing you can do to make a room look warmer is to use some darker shades in the decoration. Lighter colors are great for making a room feel bigger, but darker colors create more of a cozy and inviting feeling. 169 .Adjust the LightingLast, but certainly not least, is lighting. The lighting in a room can make or break it, depending on how you go about it. 170 . Think of using the fireplace if you have one, lighting some candles and hanging up some string lights.

There are ways to help you make new friends, as well as to take better care of the friendships you already have.Accept the awkwardness (尴尬) and assume that other people need new friends, too. 171 When you reach out to somebody you don’t know well — whether that’s sending the first text message or making small talk in the elevator — you often feel uncertain. You have to accept that awkward silence and the uneasiness it may bring, because you can’t have friends without getting awkward.Remember that people will like you more than you thinkWhen you are moving through the world, don’t forget that human connection is yours for the taking. 172 Take up activities that you loveAsk anyone about how to make friends and they will most likely tell you to try a new hobby. 173 Do the things you’re interested in and you will naturally draw people to you, and you’ll naturally connect with other people because you’ll be in the right place.It’s OK to treat friendships seriouslyHaving friends is one of the most nourishing (滋养的) parts of being alive, so it’s not strange or bad or wrong to prioritize (优先考虑) it. Get comfortable putting yourself out there a little bit. 174 It’s what all the cool kids are doing.175But if you want to prioritize and nourish your friendships, you have to show up for them. Listen and notice things about your friends. Take notes! It will help you remember your conversations and allow you to mention them later. Remember the names of people in your friends’ lives.

If you’re considering joining the online fitness community, consider these benefits and drawbacks.One of the most popular reasons for working out following an online video is that it offers ultimate convenience. No need to roll out of bed at 5 a. m. to attend that 6 a. m. boot camp class, which may end up being full when you arrive. 176 And what if you’re on the road? No problem. You can access your workout video through your phone.177 Most online fitness programs are much less expensive than similar offline programs—most range in cost from $ 10 to $ 20 per month. Some are even free. For example, the online Les Mills+program offers a free 30-day trial of its 1,500-plus workouts.Online training also has broad offerings. When you head online, you have instructors from around the globe, all ready and willing to help you master your favorite moves. 178 Just because there isn’t a Krav Maga class in your area doesn’t mean you can’t go online to find one led by qualified instructors.All these are undoubtedly positive-online training provides fitness resources to general consumers wherever they are, without requiring access to a gym or fitness studio. 179Very few online fitness programs enable the instructor to see you, check your form, and offer corrections based on your performance. 180 This is particularly concerning for beginners, as they’re more likely to do incorrectly. Besides, if you struggle with self-motivation and prefer a social workout environment, online fitness may not be for you.A．Another is the price.B．But it’s not without problems.C．The same goes for different types of exercise.D．However, online personal training isn’t for everyone.E．Instead, you can turn it on at home at your convenience.F．That being said, online workouts aren’t perfect when it comes to safety.G．This means you could perform exercises wrongly, or even unsafely, without knowing it.（北京市首都师范大学附属中学2022-2023学年高三12月初阶段性质量检测英语试卷）Public Speaking and Critical ThinkingWhat is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it’s a matter of logic – of being able to spot weaknesses in other people’s arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking — the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. 181 The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thinking.182 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is notjust a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 183What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 184 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 185 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances. This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.A．Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.B．This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.C．It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.D．It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.E．If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.F．The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.G．As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.（山东省日照市2022-2023学年高二上学期期中校际联考英语试题）You might see loneliness as someone old sits alone, staring into the distance or out of a window. However, such images are misleading. 186 They are typically surrounded by other people, at school or at work.Loneliness is a negative feeling about a difference among the friends. 187 Although loneliness is often a difficult experience, it can help us to reconnect and to rethink our relationships so that we can seek out the ones that mean the most to us.188 In youth, our friendships are increasingly important in providing us with emotional support. Research indicates that young people have higher demands of their friendships than adults do; they show a preference for larger friend groups, more companionship and higher frequency of contact with friends.189 That often means changes to values or beliefs. It can be challenging when your friends are going through the same process, but might not follow the same path as you. Young people often report feeling lonely at school, while home is a comfortable space. But there are difficulties sometimes at home such as arguments or tension with family members and the departure of supportive family members. 190Even if you find yourself feeling lonely and it seems like nothing is helping, do not give up hope. Start with what you can do on your own and move on to ways to connect with others.A．These can make the feeling of loneliness worse.B．There are certain features of youth that tend to cause loneliness.C．Loneliness serves the function of keeping us safe in our social world.D．Another reason is our developing sense of self-discovering who we are.E．This means we might feel lonely in the company of others if we don’t fit in.F．It is most likely that you have not actually found the strategy that works for you.G．Researchers have found those experiencing loneliness are mostly young people.（山西省吕梁市孝义市2022-2023学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题）How do you feel about bees? Do you get annoyed when they fly around you and do you fear their mission is just to sting (叮) you? 191 Without them, we might starve (饿死).Bees deserve some respect. They give us honey, and they play their part either pollinating (授粉) the many vegetables and fruits we eat directly or pollinating the food for the animals that we then consume. 192 That’s not all — a study in the UK, found bees and other pollinating insects have a global economic value of around £120bn ($150bn) and contribute around £690m ($850m) to the UK economy every year. So, bees are worth protecting.193 But experts say we should be taking care of all our bees. Researchers say conservation efforts should be aimed at a wide number of species — even those that currently contribute little to crop pollination — in order to maintain biodiversity and ensure future food security. 194 It’s something we should be worried about because, as Gill Perkins, chief executive of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, said, “They provide a whole ecosystem service.” The recent lockdowns caused by the coronavirus pandemic (流行病) seem to have given bee populations a little boost because they faced less human disturbance, traffic and polluting fumes.Conservationists hope, going forward, people will appreciate bees more and encourage them to do well as they reconnect with nature. Gill Perkins says, “They are beginning to realise how their mental health and wellbeing is supported by nature — particularly by bumblebees (大黄蜂), which are so beautiful and buzzy.” 195 A．A small number of bee species are essential for crops such as apples and strawberries.B．The bees busied themselves at making honey.C．So, it really seems time to give bees a second chance.D．In fact, they are the world’s most important pollinators.E．The words remind people of this saying “honey is sweet but the bee stings”.F．Love them or dislike them, these little insects are extremely important creatures.G．Unfortunately, in recent times, bee populations have been declining due to pesticides, disease and habitat loss.（山东师范大学附属中学2022-2023学年高三10月学情诊断考试英语试题（含听力））Supporting Others We’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others. Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so. 196When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. 197 In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if l were you, I would ...” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel burdensome.198 When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing you’ ve been thought of can be supportive in itself.Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was for him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity. 199Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen without judgement. 200 This reassures them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes.Support often works best when it’s a two-way process.

E．But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer. F．Because being judgmental can only make someone annoyed.

Chinese female translator Zhang Jing became an online hit in China for remaining unflustered(从容不迫的), graceful, and accurate.One video of the first session of the diplomatic talks shows how Yang Jiechi starts his response to the American side at 8.30 minutes, going on until the 24.36-minute mark. Next to him, interpreter Zhang Jing is fiercely taking notes. When Yang finishes speaking, he glances to foreign minister Wang Yi on his right to let him speak, after which Zhang says, “Shall I first translate?” While the U.S. side was awaiting the translation, Yang then says: “Ok, you translate,” adding in English: “It’s a test for the interpreter,” after which the American side says “We’re gonna give the translator a raise!” Zhang then goes ahead and calmly translates Yang’s entire 15-minute speech.To give a speedy translation of such a lengthy off-the-record speech is seen as a sign of Zhang’s utmost professionalism as an interpreter, which many on Weibo praise. “She’s my idol,” multiple people write.On Sunday, the hashtag “China-U.S. Talks Female Interpreter Zhang Jing” had reached 200 million views, but it is not the first time for Zhang, who was previously called “the most beautiful interpreter” of the National Congress in 2013.Being an interpreter is generally regarded an exciting and attractive job by many netizens, as the career involves much traveling and international contacts. But the ability to master another language than Chinese is also often admired.“Translators are usually the ‘heroes behind the scenes’, “one commenter writes, pointing out how rare it is for an interpreter to hit the limelight (聚光灯) like this.“There are still people saying it’s not important to learn English,” another Weibo user writes: “But if that were true, how could we educate brilliant interpreters like her? How else could we quarrel with Americans at the conference table?!”Many who write about Zhang on Weibo say that she is an example or a role model to them: “I hope that my spoken English one day would be as excellent as hers. This motivates me to try even harder.”41．We can infer that during the first session of the talk, ________.A．Zhang Jing seemed fierce because of Yang Jiechi’s long talkB．Zhang Jing wrote down fierce words in response to the US sideC．it was beyond Zhang Jing’s ability to follow Yang JiechiD．Zhang Jing concentrated on translating in an intense atmosphere.42．What does the underlined “it” in the fourth paragraph refer to?A．Zhang Jing was called “the most beautiful interpreter”.B．Zhang Jing became an online hit several years ago.C．Zhang Jing interpreted for the China-U.S. diplomatic talk.D．Zhang Jing gave a speedy translation of a long speech.43．Why did the American side say “We’re gonna give the translator a raise!“A．Because the American side wanted to employ Zhang Jing due to her talent.B．Because the American side thought Zhang Jing got a low salary.C．Because the American side considered Zhang Jing’s job quite tough.D．Because it was impossible for Zhang Jing to assume the task except by a pay rise. 44．Zhang Jing is taken as a good example of________.A．quarrelling with the American sidesB．enjoying an exciting and attractive jobC．showing the significance of learning English wellD．stressing the importance of educating brilliant interpreters45．Where does the passage least possibly taken from?A．Science report.B．The Internet.C．Wechat official account.D．Newspaper.As people are becoming more socially conscious about where their food comes from and how it impacts the planet, they are choosing animal-free plant-based options. Cow-free meat has been around for quite some time and the popularity of brands like Beyond Meat and cultivated meat from Aleph Farms and others are soaring. While there are a large number of plant-based milk substitutes, none of them have the same taste of cow’s milk. Now, an Israeli food-tech startup Remilk created real dairy products without harming a single cow or the planet.The company stresses that their product Remilk is not a milk substitute but rather is the realdeal. Made from a special process called microbial fermentation (微生物发酵), milk is manufactured in a lab instead of in a cow. And the end product is very healthy. “In a very simple way, we take the gene that encodes for the milk protein,” said Aviv Wolff, CEO of Remilk.”The gene functions as an instruction book for the production of the protein it encodes. And so, we insert the gene into a microbe that we’ve developed and it instructs our microbe to produce the specific protein in a very efficient way.”The company says that the lab-produced milk tastes identical to the real thing and they hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold. They expect to roll out plant-based cheese and yogurt in addition to milk. “Remilk was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce our food because, as dairy lovers, we realize that giving up on milk is not an option,” Wolff said. “But today’s milk comes with an unreasonable price tag. The dairy industry is destructive to our planet, our health, and our animals, and is simply not sustainable anymore.”The environmental price tag of dairy farming is way too high. According to the World Wildlife Fund, dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change as well as foul the air around them. Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure (粪肥) and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways. The production of Remilk uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only 1 percent of the waste of producing cow’s milk according to the company. And they accomplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms. 46．What distinguishes Remilk from other milk substitutes?A．It enjoys broad popularity.B．It has the highest output.C．It comes in various flavours.D．It tastes the same as cow’s milk.47．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The production of Remilk.B．The nutritional value of Remilk.C．The role of gene in making protein.D．The process of microbial fermentation.48．What can we know from Wolff’s words in paragraph 3?A．Remilk was set up for animal protection.B．Dairy industries should be shut down.C．Remilk aims to produce animal-free food.D．Prices of cow’s milk are soaring these days.49．What does the underlined word “foul” probably mean in the last paragraph?A．Clean.B．Heat.C．Pollute.D．Consume.50．What can we infer from the passage?A．Drawing on gene technology, Remilk has developed a variety of dairy products.B．Conventional dairy industry is anything but eco-friendly.C．The new technology adopted by Remilk transforms the gene of cows.D．It’ll be some time before the public get accustomed to the milk substitutes.“Girls are weak, and boys are strong. This is what is being subconsciously communicated to hundreds of millions of young boys and girls all over the world, just like it was with me,” said American actor Justin Baldoni. As a boy, all he wanted was to be accepted by other people. That acceptance meant he had to pretend to be strong when he was weak, confident when he felt insecure, and tough when he was actually hurting.Is that a healthy lifestyle? A member of the CPPCC Standing Committee might say “yes”. In his proposal, he spoke of a need to “prevent the feminization of male youths”. In response to his call, China’s Ministry of Education has recently demanded that schools should hire more physical education teachers and improve teaching methods to cultivate masculinity in students.The response has been widely debated online, with many people saying that it reinforces gender stereotypes. The state broadcaster CCTV wrote on its Weibo account, “Education is not simply about cultivating men and women. It’s more important to develop a willingness to take responsibility.” You might be wondering now: What is masculinity, and why is this so controversial?Well, by itself, “masculinity” refers to the qualities traditionally considered to be typical of men. While there is not really a single “correct” set of qualities, the term is often associated withstrength, courage, assertiveness, and emotional control. Sometimes, however, these seemingly admirable qualities can be extended in unrealistic ways. But boys are also human. Blindly asking them to control their feelings “like a man” can only increase their stress when they grow up.As an educator who has spent years teaching in China, I agree that attaching more importance to physical education would definitely benefit students. Sports provide opportunities for physical fitness. More importantly, they can help develop lifelong skills, such as leadership and communication skills. However, putting the emphasis on masculinity is far from a sound reason for which to do so.It is unnecessary for all boys to build up their muscles, but it is essential that they all learn how to be strong inside. It is also fine for boys to cry and to show their weakness. Schools should work on equipping students with the skills and values they will need to be successful in life, not reinforcing stereotypes of masculinity borrowed from a bygone age.51．Why did young Justin Baldoni think it necessary to pretend to be what he was actually not?A．He was trying to be strong and confident.B．He wanted to be accepted as a real man.C．It was necessary for an actor to be strong and tough.D．He felt it secure and safe to do so.52．The underlined expression “masculinity” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “__________”A．manly qualities B．potential abilitiesC．self-centredness D．steady strength53．What is the argument against the demand of China’s Ministry of Education?A．It is necessary to prevent the feminization of male youths.B．Physical education should be paid more attention to.C．We should teach students according to their individual qualities.D．Importance should be attached to developing students’ sense of responsibility. 54．What can we learn from the passage?A．Masculinity is out of date.B．Masculinity is overstated.C．Masculinity shows physical strength.D．Masculinity only focuses on physical fitness.55．What does the author want to say in the article?A．We should do everything we can to guarantee students’ health.B．Schools should differentiate between boys and girls while educating them.C．It is important to prepare students with necessary skills and right values.D．It is time to weaken stereotypes of masculinity.阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。

The organization’s efforts help farmers, the environment, and people struggling to feed their families all at once.“In the United States, 40 million Americans don’t have enough food to eat. They don’t know where their next meal is going to come from,” said Aidan Reilly, who co-founded Farmlink. “Meanwhile, in the United States, we’re throwing out over 100 billion pounds of food every year.”Back in 2020, Reilly and his childhood friend James Kanoff were reading and watching news about food shortages, and they learned that area farms were forced to destroy excess produce that they couldn’t sell, especially with restaurants, schools and hotels closed. Reilly, Kanoff and a core group of friends worked together over Zoom, texted and e-mailed to contact farms coast to coast. “We didn’t really set out to start a nonprofit,” Reilly said. “We just thought, ‘There’re so many people suffering, if we can figure out one way to help, then that’ll be great.”In California, they found a farmer who had 13, 000 eggs that could be donated, and Reilly offered to do the pickup and delivery himself. That was the first of many moredeliveries. With “we’ll come to you” as their catchphrase (标语), the group rented U-Haul trucks and attempted to do all the food pickup and deliveries themselves.“We had a lot of small problems in the beginning,” Reilly said. “We broke axles (车轴), loaded in 40, 000 pounds of potatoes in a wrong way and had to try to drag them out by using another truck and a rope. But we made it work.”“Farmlink has worked with more than 100 farms and 300 communities in the US, rescuing and moving enough food to distribute more than 64 million meals,” Reilly said. 4．What can we learn about Farmlink Project from the text?A．It was launched by some college students.B．It helps relieve American poverty.C．It cooperated with the farms worldwide.D．It is supported by the government. 5．Why did some farms waste the produce left?A．The produce was of poor quality.B．Nobody came to purchase the produce.C．The farmers refused to sell it at a low price.D．Food shortages were no longer a problem globally.6．What difficulty did the students encounter in the start-up phase?A．They were lacking in experience.B．They overloaded the supply.C．Their navigation aids didn’t work.D．The vehicles were inadequate. 7．What is the text mainly about?A．Americans faced a food shortage crisis.B．Farmers in poor areas worried about food waste.C．Volunteers delivered farm produce to those in need.D．Students took action to tackle hunger and food waste.Tariq Qaiser, an architect, is trying to protect mangroves (红树林). The trees could save Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, sitting on the Arabian Sea, from natural disaster. He comes to Bundal Island several times a week to document the illegal cutting of mangrove trees. Very often, “You can’t hear a single bird because the chain saws are so loud. The trees are cut down illegally for firewood,” he says, shaking his head. Besides, developers clear the mangroves to make room for construction.Karachi has a hot climate, and its concrete buildings and paved roads make it even hotter. Offshore, there are islands where mangroves grow. They could be the key to slowing climatechange. Mangrove forests pull carbon dioxide out of the air, holding four times as much of the planet-warming gas as other forests can. They support diverse ecosystems. As sea levels rise with global warming, the trees could play a big role in protecting coastal cities like Karachi from flooding. Karachi’s mangroves are disappearing. But its numbers are rising in other parts of Pakistan. With replanting efforts, the country has tripled (三倍于) its mangrove coverage over the past 30 years．Qaiser’s work may have worked. Recently, a court in Karachi declared Bundal Island’s mangroves to be protected forests. But unforested parts of the island remain unprotected, and developers want to build there. City officials say this could provide much-needed housing and bring in billions of dollars. They claim that some of that money could be used to plant mangroves in other parts of Pakistan.Ecologist Rafiul Haq appreciates Qaiser’s “extraordinary work” educating the public about mangroves. But he wishes Qaiser would look at the bigger picture. “Only 7% of Pakistan’s mangroves are in Karachi,” Haq says. He thinks it’s wrong to focus on the losses in 7% of the country while ignoring the success in 93% of it. But Qaiser believes it’s important to protect every bit.8．What do we know about Karachi’s mangroves?A．They occupy the building land.B．They’re home to various birds.C．They’re primarily being used as firewood.D．They protect the city from climate catastrophe.9．Why are efforts made to conserve the mangrove trees?A．Their birthplaces meet crisis.B．They boast huge diversity.C．Their bonds with nature are close.D．They grow at a rapid speed. 10．What does the Karachi government plan to do?A．Grow mangroves in other areas.B．Destroy buildings to grow mangroves.C．Build more mangrove reserves.D．Use mangroves to make profit. 11．What does Haq think of Qaiser’s work on Karachi’s mangroves?A．Challenging.B．Effective.C．Insignificant.D．Partial.It’s well-known that humor can benefit us both physically and mentally. The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been around since ancient times. In his 1905 book, Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, Sigmund Freud argued that humor is the highest of thepsyche’s defense mechanism (机制), capable of turning anxiety into pleasure.There are four humor styles. Affiliative humor refers to jokes about things that might be commonly considered funny, which is usually employed to improve relationships or make others laugh. If you’ve ever shared a funny picture with a coworker, you’ve used affiliative humor. Self-enhancing humor involves being able to laugh at yourself, often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result. Aggressive humor is laughing at the expense of others, which often involves sarcasm (讽刺), teasing, and criticism. Self-defeating humor is the art of putting yourself down to gain favor from your peers, which is possibly used by someone who’s targeted by bullies.Each style of humor actually carries a different influence, when it comes to mental health. Julie Aitken Schermer, a psychological researcher at The University of Western Ontario, says people using self-enhancing humor are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others. By contrast, both aggressive and self-defeating humor styles can hint at trouble. “We find that self-defeating humor is the most concerning style as it is also linked with loneliness and feelings of not mattering. Those with an aggressive humor style may not experience loneliness as much, however, since they rely on group dynamics (群体动力) in order to make fun of their peers,” says Schermer.Even if you tend to favor more negative humor styles, there’s no reason to lose heart. Schermer says people can develop a positive, self-enhancing humor style by concentrating on the lighter and more humorous aspects of life. As author Kurt V onnegut once wrote, “Laughter and tears are both responses to worries and anxieties. I prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.”12．Why is Sigmund Freud’s book mentioned in Paragraph 1?A．To show the importance of mental health.B．To stress the role of humor.C．To persuade people to stay positive.D．To introduce ancient jokes to us. 13．According to the text, which kind of humor may you use to relieve pressure?A．Affiliative humor.B．Self-enhancing humor.C．Aggressive humor.D．Self-defeating humor.14．What does the underlined phrase “hint at” probably mean in the third paragraph?A．Signal.B．Explain.C．Prevent.D．Solve. 15．Which of the following will Kurt V onnegut probably agree with?A．Humor is difficult to control.B．Crying is a good way of relief.C．Humor is a double-edged sword.D．Laughter is the best cure for stress.二、七选五Humanities departments(人文院系)in America are once again being cut down. Earlier this month, the State University of New York(SUNY)StonyBrook announced a plan to abandon several of the college’s well-known departments for lack of fund. The University ofdecided to gradually get rid of philosophy department. In June 2015, the Japanese minister of education sent a letter to the presidents of the national universities of Japan, suggesting they close their graduate and undergraduate departments in the humanities and social sciences and focus on something more practical.These are hard times. Instead of Shakespeare or French, there will be(perhaps there already are)college classes in how to cut corporate spending. 17 But the only opportunity has been lost if they are denied the opportunity to study foreign languages, the classics, literature, philosophy, music, theater and art in the university. When else in their busy lives will they get that chance?18 . Essays explain why we need these subjects, and what their loss will mean. These areas of learning provide us with the ability to think critically and independently; to see both sides of an issue;to look beneath the surface of what we are being told; to appreciate the ways in which language can help us understand one another more clearly.I don’t believe that the humanities can make you a decent person. 19 . Studying philosophy teaches us about those who have gone before us. A foreign language brings us closer to those with whom we share the planet. The humanities touch those aspects of awareness that we call intellect and heart. 20A．These subjects are under attackB．Students need practical skills to find jobsC．Defenses of the humanities have appearedD．This problem has also arisen internationallyE．Therefore, courses in the humanities are beneficialF．It helps us learn how to think and live in a harmonious societyG．But they can expand our sense of what humans can accomplish and create三、完形填空At the school Art Festival, I was asked to design the costumes for three school plays.designers studied at fashion design institutes in London, Paris or Milan.

In his mind he was being dragged towards somewhere unknown.His eyes grew wild with the terror of it. He began to wiggle his head wildly and to brace his legs.The child redoubled his efforts.They had a battle on the stairs.The child was victorious because he was completely absorbed in his purpose,and because the dog was very small.He dragged his acquirement to the door of his home, and finally with victory across the doorway.No family member was in.

The research found methane emissions from gas stoves across the United States are roughly equal to the carbon dioxide released by half a million gas-powered cars in a year.To estimate the impact of these emissions,researchers measured three key gases from stoves in 53 homes across seven California counties. The team chose two gases--methane and carbon dioxide--because of their contribution to climate change,and selected nitrogen oxides because of their known risk to human health.The scientists set up plastic dividing walls between the kitchens and other rooms and used instruments that measure wavelengths of light to determine the concentration of certain gases.The team estimated that stoves release between 0.8 and 1.3 percent of the natural gas they consume as unburned methane.To their surprise,they found that more than three-quarters of the methane emissions happened when both old and new gas stoves were turned off.“Over a 20-year time scale, the global warming potential of methane leaks is 86 times greater than carbon dioxide”Stanford reports.The most significant health risks happen when the stove is lit,the authors note,because the process creates nitrogen dioxide as a byproduct.Increasing airflow by using a range hood can help reduce the personal health risk of natural gas-burning appliances,but most individuals report rarely using their ventilation system.In a small kitchen,it only took a few minutes of unventilated stove use to generate emissionslevels above national health standards.According to a meta-analysis from 2013,children living in homes with gas stoves were 42percent more likely to experience symptoms associated with asthma, and 24 percent more likely to be diagnosed with lifetime asthma.In addition to health risks,natural gas burning stoves also endanger the planet by releasing methane. The results of the study have fueled efforts by scientists and activists to encourage Americans to switch to all-electric stoves and appliances.32.Which gas leaking from stoves warms the earth most?A.Methane.B. Carbon dioxide.C. Nitrogen oxide.D. Nitrogen dioxide.33.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to?A.The measuring instruments.B.The American families.C.The team members.D.The gas stoves.34.When does a gas stove present the greatest heath risks?A.When it is old.B.When it is new.C.When it is turned on.D.When it is turned off.35. What would the researchers urge people to do?A.Equip kitchens.B.Switch to clean fuels.e sustainable energy.D.Purchase electric stoves.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，满分10 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
