Thanks to the cave system’s atmosphere and natural protection from any kind of human disturbance,the archaeological sites have been left in great shape.Several sets of Native American remains have been recovered,(26)_______(provide)fascinating evidence of pre-Columbian funerary practices.Mammoth Cave was established as a national park thanks to strong local support.Back in the 1920s,Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work created the Southern Appalachian National Park Commission in1925to survey(27)_______(propose)park sites,including the caves.After years of work acquiring the land for the park,as well as building roads,trails,and public facilities,Mammoth Cave National Park was established on July1,1941.Pioneering African Americans were some of the first cave guides,and are responsible for some of the more recently discovered passageways.Stephen Bishop,who was a slave,worked in the cave from 1838to1856and ventured beyond the tour routes that(28)______(establish).He crossed a terrifying drop called the“bottomless pit”to discover unmapped areas of the cave system.Although they were unrecognized at the time,pioneers like Bishop helped spark the golden age of cave exploration.The park now receives around2million visitors a year,with roughly a quarter taking a tour of the caves–everything from a cultural tour to the more adventurous scrambling tours on offer.The cave supports more than130wildlife species,such as the eyeless cavefish,(29)_______has adapted to the lightless environment by no longer growing eyes,and the cave crayfish.Mammoth Cave National Park is also much more than just a cave;its surrounding forest contains one of(30)_______(diverse)habitats in the country.There are miles of trails open for horseback riding, with kayak and canoe trails and great fishing spots.There are also more than1,300flowering species in the forest,and animals like wood warblers,thrushes,and bald eagles can regularly be spotted. Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.attractionB.waitingC.mysteryD.uniqueE.simplyF.originallyG.stable H.popularity I.donating J.searching K.interfereThere’s a rarely-visited,dusty corner of the world where something magical happens.The place, which looks like Mars with its red rock landscape,is the Tatacoa Desert,in Colombia.Tatacoa is located in the region of Huila,south of the country’s capital Bogotá.Although Tatacoa, with its protruding cacti and red rippled rocks,is called a desert,it is in fact a dry tropical forest.But the exciting,and very(31)_______,feature of this desert,is what happens above it,at night.Thanks to its remote location–it’s almost30miles and an hour’s drive over bumpy winding roads to the nearest town–Tatacoa has no light pollution to(32)_______with the night sky.Up to88constellations(星座)are visible on a clear night,as well as both hemispheres–somethingthat happens nowhere else in the world.The warm and dry climate helps with stargazing;a(33)_______atmosphere,which happens in dry spots or places of high elevation,decreases something called scintillation,which is when a star’s light rises and falls rapidly.It’s why stars twinkle,which looks beautiful but isn’t so great for astronomers.Not only is Tatacoa a natural wonder,but the DIY observatory that’s run by a Colombian man named Javier Fernanda Rua Restrepo has become a star(34)_______too.In fact,this humble building attracts stargazers from all over the world,from China to Iceland to Australia.And Restrepo has also become well-known in astronomer circles,with a few scientists(35)_______their own telescopes to support the grassroots observatory.The Colombian,who is(36)_______from Cali,fell in love with the stars thanks to his father’s interest in astronomy and science,and first visited Tatacoa in1997,to try to see the Comet Hale-Bopp. He stayed for a couple of days before heading back to his hometown.But within a month,he returned to Tatacoa–and never left,camping out for weeks on end(37)_______for the night to come so that he could watch the stars.At first Restrepo had worked at the Colombian government’s observatory,which he helped staff for 15years.But after budget cuts meant he lost his job,he figured he would(38)_______build his own.In2015,Restrepo opened the doors to his observatory–Tatacoa Astronomia–with just one telescope. Now,as Colombia has grown in(39)_______as a tourist destination,hundreds flock to Restrepo’s star party,which he holds once a year in July.Tatacoa Astronomia is only open on starry nights,and Restrepo remains the sole employee.But that doesn’t distract from the intimacy and the specialness of the place.The structure sits on a small patch of land that Restrepo bought himself,and is cordoned（隔离）off by tarpaulin（油布）to add an extra sense of(40)_______and intrigue（阴谋）for visitors.“The stars…they put my life into its tiny perspective,”he says,“and they constantly remind me there are greater things out there.”III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Acupuncture（针灸）,an ancient Chinese medical practice,has been the remedy for countless patients for thousands of years.Before modern medicine came to life,ancient Chinese used stone tools to(41)_______pain.Over time,this primitive practice(42)_______evolved into a comprehensive andprofound medical system and(43)_______the root of acupuncture.Acupuncture is a treatment that aims to(44)_______the body’s self-regulating functions.Its therapeutic principles are in line with the(45)_______concepts of traditional Chinese medicine,which emphasizes all-inclusive treatment,meridian（经络）adjustment,balance of bodily functions and overall physiological well-being.Practices can(46)_______in forms,including needle insertion,cupping and scraping.Needle insertion,the most common method,is(47)_______by inserting hair-thin needles into meridians,(48) _______specific points on the body that(49)_______vital energy(the qi).Practitioners lift,twirl and rotate needles to unblock the flow of energy;(50)_______yin and yang balance;and stimulate the body’s innate(51)_______to heal itself.Looking beyond China,acupuncture has become a global(52)_______.Over the years, acupuncture has seen many advancements in scientific research and modern medicine.It is now a mainstream(53)_______and complementary treatment for a variety of weaknesses.According to a 2019WHO report,acupuncture is used in113of its120member countries,(54)_______its widespread recognition and application.As an ancient Chinese medical(55)_______with a rich history and deep cultural significance, acupuncture is an embodiment of profound cultural heritage and a holistic path to healing.41.

For thousands of years,the people living along its banks have nurtured rich and vibrant cultures that have endured to this day.To give people the opportunity to familiarize themselves with its rich culture and plentiful products, Shandong province has organized fairs named after the river throughout the year,with some events held in communities to involve more people.At the fairs,intangible cultural heritage items,handicrafts,local delicacies,performances,and agricultural products are available.At one fair in a community in Jinan,the capital city of Shandong,in late October,more than10types of handicrafts were on show,including gourd-carving,paper-cutting,textiles and hemp rope weaving."The fair builds a bridge between intangible cultural heritage producers and ing items that are embodied with traditional culture is a good way to pass on culture,"says Sun Xicai, deputy director of Jinan Folk Literature and Art Association.At the fair,60-something Yu Shaoqing,who was selling animal-shaped textile products,attracted a lot of buyers."Many young people show an interest in my products.They buy them to decorate their rooms and cars,"says Yu.Yu,who worked in embroidery design before retiring,designs her products,which take the shape of animals like tigers,rabbits and ducks.Currently,she is working on a dragon design for next year to welcome the Year of the Dragon.56.What do the grains undergo before being used in the artwork?A.Grains are carefully selected,painted in various colors and air-dried.B.Grains and seeds are bonded following certain preservative treatment.C.Grains and seeds are well preserved so that they will spout.D.Grains are carved and then assembled into a picture.57.People make grain pictures_______.A.due to advancements in technologyB.because of nurtured rich and vibrant cultures along the Yellow RiverC.in situations where there is a sufficient and excessive supply of grainsD.as a result of government’s financial supports for local artists58.What types of products and cultural elements were available at the fairs organized by Shandongprovince throughout the year?A.Electronics and fashion items;performances showcasing modern technologyB.Handicrafts,local delicacies,performances,and items embodied with traditional cultureC.Industrial machinery and tools;demonstrations of manufacturing processesD.Luxury goods and designer fashion;fashion shows featuring international designersBPersistently engaging in negative thinking patterns may raise the risk of Alzheimer’s disease,finds a new UCL-led study.In the study of people aged over55,published in Alzheimer’s&Dementia,researchers found ‘repetitive negative thinking’(RNT)is linked to subsequent cognitive decline as well as the deposition(沉积)of harmful brain proteins linked to Alzheimer’s.Lead author Dr Natalie Marchant(UCL Psychiatry)said:“Depression and anxiety in mid-life and old age are already known to be risk factors for dementia（痴呆）.Here,we found that certain thinking patterns implicated in depression and anxiety could be an underlying reason why people with those disorders are more likely to develop dementia.“We hope that our findings could be used to develop strategies to lower people’s risk of dementia by helping them to reduce their negative thinking patterns.”For the Alzheimer’s Society-supported study,the research team from UCL,INSERM and McGill University studied292people over the age of55who were part of the PREVENT-AD cohort study,and a further68people from the IMAP+cohort.Over a period of two years,the study participants responded to questions about how they typically think about negative experiences,focusing on RNT patterns like rumination(沉思)about the past and worry about the future.The participants also completed measures of depression and anxiety symptoms.Their cognitive function was assessed,measuring memory,attention,spatial cognition,and language.Some(113)of the participants also underwent PET brain scans,measuring deposits of tau and amyloid,two proteins which cause the most common type of dementia,Alzheimer’s disease,when they build up in the brain.The researchers found that people who exhibited higher RNT patterns experienced more cognitive decline over a four-year period,and declines in memory(which is among the earlier signs of Alzheimer’s disease),and they were more likely to have amyloid and tau deposits in their brain.“We propose that repetitive negative thinking may be a new risk factor for dementia as it could contribute to dementia in a unique way,”said Dr Marchant.The researchers suggest that RNT may contribute to Alzheimer’s risk via its impact on indicators of stress such as high blood pressure,as other studies have found that physiological stress can contribute to amyloid and tau deposition.Co-author Dr Gael Chételat commented:“Our thoughts can have a biological impact on our physical health,which might be positive or negative.Mental training practices such as meditation might help promoting positive-while down-regulating negative-associated mental schemes.“Looking after your mental health is important,and it should be a major public health priority,as it’s not only important for people’s health and well-being in the short term,but it could also impact your eventual risk of dementia.”59.Repetitive negative thinking(RNT)is linked to______.A.thinking approach improvement in later yearster cognitive decline and the deposit of harmful brain proteins.C.anxiety disorders which occurs in females solelyD.individuals of younger age,which is turning into a trend60.According to Dr.Natalie Marchant,certain thinking patterns_______.A.have no substantial impact on dementiaB.are primary contributors to depression and anxiety disordersC.could be a reason why some people are more likely to get dementia.D.Relevant primarily in mid-life,not in old age61.In the study over a period of two years,the participants were asked about their_______.A.favorite personal experiencesB.daily routines and habitsC.typical thinking about negative experiencesD.perspectives on various mental health practices62.What do the researchers propose as a potential new risk factor for dementia?A.Depression and anxiety disordersB.Accumulation of amyloid and tau deposits in the brainC.Repetitive positive thinking patternsD.Repetitive negative thinking patternsCZion National Park in Utah has plenty of trails,butAngels Landing may be the most breathtaking.Picture this.You begin the hike on the wide and well-maintained WestRim Trail.It follows the river and then crosses the bottom ofthe canyon,surrounded by270-million-year-old layers ofrock.Relaxing,right?Just wait for it.The trail then starts toclimb via a series of switchbacks(急转弯)leading up theside of the mountain.Then more switchbacks:21tighter turns,called“Walter’s Wiggles,”where elevation levels rapidly increase.Your heartbeat is probably rapidly increasing at this point,too.On top of Walter’s Wiggles,you can stop for a stunning view(perhaps with a marriage proposal) and a restroom stop while you contemplate(仔细考虑)the final stretch of the hike.If you’re afraid of heights,it’s best to turn back now.The last stretch is the real test of bravery.The last half mile of the hike is what really ranks it as one of the nation’s most dangerous.Angels Landing itself is a fin-like formation jutting（突出）1,500feet out of the canyon,and this is where you make the final500-foot climb.Guardrails and chains bolted（拴住）into the cliff help you keep from tumbling over the extremely steep ledge.You’re literally living on the edge,and you don’t want to trustthe“angels”down there to catch you.Once you reach the top,however,it’ll all be worth it:360-degree views of the canyon make a great backdrop for kicking back and having a meal before you come back down the way you came.Angels Landing might be dangerous,but thankfully,not too many people have had fatal falls. According to the park website,seven people have died in the100years the park has existed.Still,this is a very vigorous hike.If you’re out of shape,bringing young children along,feel ill or prone to fainting,or are just plain afraid of heights,opt for an easier trail.Angel’s Landing is a great hike for most of the year,besides the cold winter months when the trails could become dangerously slippery.Summer is the most popular time of year—and therefore the most crowded—but it can also get extremely hot,so opt for an early morning hike while the temperatures are still mild.Sure,it’s dangerous,but there’s a reason this is one of Zion‘s most popular hikes.If you’re up for the challenge,Angels Landing will definitely deliver rewards.This article first appeared on .63.What geological feature surrounds the hiker during the initial part of the hike?A.Plenty of trails in the park.B.Mountain Peaks.C.270-million-year-old layers of rock.D.Grass Meadows.64.What is the main attraction and appeal of Angels Landing?A.The challenging hike with switchbacksB.The360-degree views of the canyonC.The well-maintained West Rim TrailD.The river crossing and rock formations65.Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?A.If a tourist is afraid of heights,it’s best to turn back onto Angels Landing.B.Seven people have died so far due to slippery trails in winter.C.Bringing young kids along to climb onto Angels Landing will be appreciated.D.Taking a break with the views of the canyon as background is absolutely worth the trip.66.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A.Unveiling the Hidden Beauty:Exploring Zion National Park's TrailsB.Zion's Ultimate Thrill:The Adrenaline-Pumping Angels Landing ExpeditionC.Chasing Heights:Angels Landing Adventure in Utah's Zion National ParkD.Angels Landing:Conquering Utah's Breathtaking and Daring Hike in Zion National Park Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Moving more may not prevent a child from becoming overweight,but studies show clearly that it helps both physical and mental health.B.And although rural areas have more undeveloped outdoor space,they often lack playgrounds,tracks and exercise facilitiesC.A lack of safe places for them to play outside the home also contributes to kids obesity.D.It also suggested prescribing weight-loss drugs to children12and older and surgery to teens13and older.E.Increased screen time and changing norms around letting kids play outdoors are unsupervised.F.They have significant side effects for both kids and adults.The rate of childhood obesity in the U.S.has tripled over the past50years.But what this trend means for children’s long-term health,and what to do about it(if anything),is not so clear.The American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP)made waves this year by recommending that doctors put obese kids as young as two years old on intensive,family-oriented lifestyle and behavior plans.(67) ________________________________This advice marks a shift from the organization’s previous stance of“watch and wait,”and it reflects the AAP’s belief that obesity is a disease and the group’s adoption of a more proactive position on childhood obesity.Yet the lifestyle programs the AAP recommends are expensive,inaccessible to most children and hard to maintain—and the guidelines acknowledge these barriers.Few weight-loss drugs have been approved for older children,although many are used off-label.(68) ________________________________And surgery,while becoming more common,has inherent risks and few long-term safety data—it could,for instance,cause nutritional deficits in growing children. Furthermore,it’s not clear whether interventions in youngsters help to improve health or merely add to the stigma overweight kids face from a fat-phobic society.This stigma can lead to mental health problems and eating disorders.Rather than fixating on numbers on a scale,the U.S.and countries with similar trends should focus on an underlying truth:we need to invest in more and safer places for children to play where they can move and run around,climb and jump,ride and skate.(69)________________________________In2020the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found,unsurprisingly,that kids’sports participation increases with their parents’incomes: about70percent of kids whose families earn more than$105,000a year participate in sports,but only 51percent of middle-class kids and31percent of children at or below the poverty line do.This disparity hurts people of color the most.More than60percent of white children,for instance,participate in。

With so many young"buy now,pay later"shoppers already in debt from this short-tern financing tool not requiring interest,questions emerge:Why do these shoppers use such a tool?And what risks does it pose to their budgets in the months(21)______(come)?The many Generation Zand millennials(typically around40years and younger)tend to use this short-term financing,(22)_______allows them to buy items and pay for them over time.Offered mostly by financial technologies,BNPL allows these customers to pay back their purchases (23)______interest and with the first payment usually made at checkout.The most common"buy now,pay later"plan is(24)______customers make four equal payments and pay off the debt in six weeks.It's been a lifeline for some people,such as a university student(25)______weekly income is not big enough.“BNPL provides consumers with flexible payment options so they(26) ______manage spending,"said Vivek Pandya,lead analyst at Adobe Digial Insights.That is of great importance for many consumers,especially(27)______with a tendency to purchase higher-cost items.However,since BNPL(28)______(appear),warnings from experts have come into our view. They have been indicating that it's financially unhealthy to form such a spending habit.According to New York Federal Reserve economists,BNPL may encourage debt to increase over time,(29)_____(influence)a consumer's ability to meet non-BNPL commitments,or users tooverextend ers should also note that(30)_______interest is not charged on the loan,they'll be hit with late fees for missed payments,which can add up quickly,says the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.Section BDirections:After reading the passage below,fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.attractiveB.botheredC.buildingD.contrastsE.crossedF.demonstratesG.dramaticallyH.greyedI.instrumental J.sustaining K.vividlyA Review on OppenheimerOppenheimer is Christopher Nolan's film about J.Robert Oppenheimer,the man known as "the father of the atomic(原子的)bomb".As a drama about genius,pride and error,it ___31___the life of the American theoretical physicist who helped research and develop the two atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,two cities in Japan,during World War II.Oppenheimer is a great achievement,partly because it___32___relates that period of history thanks to Nolan's lifelike filmmaking.Nolan goes deep and long on the___33____of the bomb, but he doesn't restage the attacks and there are no documentary images of the dead or cities in ashes.The story tracks Oppenheimer across decades,starting in the1920s with him as a young adult and continuing until his hair___34___.The film touches on his personal and professional milestones,the controversies that___35___him,and the attacks that nearly ruined him.Besides, the friendships and romances___36___him,yet also troubling,are also described.The path of Oppenheimer's life___37___shifted at Berkeley.He was once only an academic there,but his identity changed after Germany entered Poland by force.By that time,Oppenheimer had become friends with Emest Lawrence,a physicist who invented the historic particle accelerator(粒子加速器)and played a(n)___38___role in the Manhattan Project.And Oppenheimer also met the project's military head and was then made director of Los Alamos, where much of his later research on nuclear weapons took place.Francois Truffaut once wrote that"war films,even those who support peace,even the best, willingly or not,present wars in a certain___39___way.”That is why Nolan refuses to show the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,killing millions of souls.In the film,you hear that Oppenheimer's famous words___40___his own mind as the mushroom cloud rose:“Now I am become Death,the destroyer of worlds."Nolan is actually reminding audience to reconsider the roles they can play in the world.II.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Paris has long been at the heart of the history of flight.It is where the Montgolfier brothers went up in the first hot-air balloon in1783,and where Charles Lindbergh completed the first one-person transatlantic aeroplane journey in1927.Next year,if all goes to plan,Paris will witness the birth of another industry___41___,when Volocopter,a German maker of electric aircraft,launches a flying-taxi service during the Olympic Games.At the Paris Airshow in June, Volocopter and some of its competitors displayed a new generation of___42____flying machines designed for urban transport.The electrification of aviation(航空)has often been dismissed as a pipe dream,with batteries assumed too heavy a___43___for traditional fuel in an airborne vehicle.For longer journeys,that may well be true.Yet upstarts like Volocopter are betting that electrification can___44___a boom in demand for clean and quick air journeys over shorter distances.The main form of a flying taxi under___45___,called an electric vertical(垂直的)take-off and landing(eVTOL)aircraft,is expected to carry up to four passengers plus a pilot.Powered by batteries,it is predicted to be both quiet enough to reduce complaints in crowded cities,and fast:capable of up to300kph,enough to comfortably___46___a car,especially the one stuck in traffic.And optimists believe the absence of traffic in the sky will also make eVTOLs well-suited to___47___operation.They could prove handy for transporting goods,too.That vision has inspired___48___predictions.For example,Morgan Stanley,an investment bank,estimates global spending on eVTOLs could hit S1,000billion by2040!Regardless of the above___49___expectations,challenges remain.One problem is technical certification,which is turning out to be a(n)___50___process as aviation regulators work on an entirely new form of te last year,due to regulatory delays and some other factors,Joby, a Silicon Valley startup,was forced to___51___its launch by one more year until2025.Many have even longer to go.The bigger question is—is the business of flying taxis ___52___practicable?EVTOLs currently range in price from S1million to$4million.Some believe that their cost may come down as the industry develops.Brian Yutko of Wisk,a maker backed by Boeing,says that flying-taxi rides will be accessible to___53___in the near future. And Joby promises that its fares will be comparable to catching a common taxi___54___there is an opposite belief that eVTOLs are likely to remain expensive.Some studies suggest the cost could end up as high as$7per kilometer,many times a regular taxi fare.That means,even without a pilot,flying taxis may remain a convenience___55___only to a lucky few.Let's expect plenty more experiments with electric aircraft in the years ahead.41.A.cooperator petitor C.observer D.pioneer42.A.wind-driven B.battery-driven C.gas-driven D.solar-driven43.A.substitute B.shelter C.treatment D.desire44.A.regulate B.maintain C.unlock D.reverse45.A.pressure B.attack C.development D.repair46.A.underestimate B.update C.outpace D.overdo47.A.rigid B.autonomous C.attentive D.illegal48.A.daring B.discouraging C.unclear D.ordinary49.A.technological B.unrealistic C.rewarding D.enthusiastic50.A.efficient B.simple C.lengthy D.intelligent51.A.put off B.speed up C.object to D.approve of52.A.historically B.technically C.theoretically D.economically53.A.the learned B.the disabled C.the seniors D.the masses54.A.Furthermore B.However C.Fortunately D.Consequently55.A.affordable B.valuable C.unbelievable D.unsuitableSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Every summer,as a child,I spent with my parents the annual family holiday,flying away from our home in the West Midlands to their birthplace in Ireland.I enjoyed it,but once,I behaved differently and left home.Package tours and long-distance flights became my idea of a holiday.I then went and ran into an Englishman who also came of Irish stock,and we both felt the urge to renew our knowledge of Ireland.It was important for us to discover something different from our childhood visits.So that's how we came to drive along the winding St John's Point Peninsula(半岛)in Donegal,part of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way,to visit a unique part of the20th-century history—the Donegal Corridor. When anyone drives to the point where the land runs out,he sees giant white stones fixed firmly in green grass spelling out"EIRE"and“70”,while the Atlantic wind fiercely blows across the headland and the ice-white waves smash into the rocks below.The meaning behind the stones? They date back to the Second World War when St John's Point was number70in a total of83 Look Out Points(LOPs),observation stations set up and maintained by lreland all around its coast.There lies a bit of curious UK-lreland history.Although Ireland was officially neutral during the war,the Battle of the Atlantic was being fought close to Irish shores,and these LOPs,staffed by local volunteers known as Coastwatchers,pased on information on activities connected with the sea and weather fronts to London.At St John's Point,we were standing right under the Donegal Corridor,a long narrow area ofairspace in which lreland ensured safe passage during World War II to planes in the RAF(Royal Air Force)from bases in the UK-governed North of lreland.The stone markings acted as reference points to aircrews.Standing on this rough area of land surrounded by the wild and windy ocean brought home to us the conditions in which the Coastwatchers and aircrews in the RAF cooperated in a shared history.I revolted against my family tradition that summer,and I fulfilled my aim of discovering something new and absorbed all Donegal has to offer:empty golden beaches,mysterious ancient stone circles,folk music and crafts,and tasty food.I had fallen in love with Ireland all over again.56.What can we learn about the author from paragraphs1to3?A.She met a childhood friend from Ireland that year.B.She and that Englishman both had Irish ancestors.C.She took package tours and long-distance flights every year.D.She explored the Wild Atlantic Way with her family members.57.The giant white stones were important during WWII becauseA.the Battle of the Atlantic took place right close to themB.weather information from the UK was sent through themC.they functioned as reference points to aircrews in the RAFD.they ranked at the top in the83LOPs around the lrish coast58.The expression"revolted against"in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to_____.A.worried aboutB.passed onC.celebratedD.disobeyed59.Which might be the best title of the passage?A.A Global JourneyB.Discovering Undiscovered DonegalC.Happy HolidaysD.Escaping from the West Midlands(B)Ads,news,movies,TV shows,and many other types of media all want you to accept their messages at face value.However,you should look beneath the surface and ask questions to decode what the media message is really saying.You need to ask yourself two basic questions:Who is the source of the message?How is it trying to get your attention?Question1:Who is the source of the message?(Picture A)Knowing who is responsible for a message can reveal its true intention,as well as any possible prejudice.Just take the picture above as an example.Why are we asked to ban the impacts?Don't forget that the source at the bottom plays a part.If,sometimes,the source isn't clear,we can look for it by checking legal documents.Question2:How is it trying to get your attention?(Picture B)The obvious part of a message is called the text which includes any language imagery,music,or anything else you can see or hear.The implied part of a message is called the subtext,and it's suggested by the content rather than directly seen or heard. We as individuals then decide how to interpret this subtext based on our personal ideas, world views and expectations. People with different perspectives might interpret the same piece of message differently.Mind that some media may just take advantage of the prejudice.(Picture C)Photo control is nearly as oldas photography itself,butmodern technology has madeit common and easy to do.Using photo editing software,almost anyone can make bigchanges to an image,fromadjusting colors and lighting toadding and removing content.That's why you should alwayskeep a critical eye on imagesin the media.Some media mayhold back or overstateinformation like anadvertisement that makes theproducts appear more effectivethan they really are.(Picture D)Social media users can alsogive themselves a digitaltransformation with a littleeffort.They can makethemselves look however theylike in just a few moments.But since these edited imagesare presented as reality,theycan affect our mentalwell-being.By constantlyseeing pictures of artificiallysuperb people some of us maystart to believe that thesepictures are genuine,and thatwe can never live up to theseunrealistic ideals.This type ofharmful thinking can lead toall sorts of mental andemotional health concerns.60.We can learn from the passage that_______.A.the media hope that you can make sense of their true meaningsB.finding the sources of media helps to form a sensible judgmentC.text is more important than subtext when we analyze the messagesD.photography and photo editing software date back to the same time61.Your aunt finds her newly-bought belt doesn't make her so stylish as advertised.Which picture can illustrate the case?A.Picture AB.Picture BC.Picture CD.Picture D62.This passage can be found under the section ofA.Mass Media ReadingB.Content-Targeted AdvertisingC.Deconstructing Web-pagesD.Persuasive Language Recognition(C)Antibiotics,which can destroy or prevent the growth of bacteria and cure infections,are vial to modem medicine.Their ability to kill bacteria without harming the patient has saved billions of lives and made surgical procedures much safer.But after decades of overuse,their powers are fading.Some bacteria have evolved resistance,creating a growing army of superbugs,against which there is little effective treatment.Antimicrobial(抗菌的)resistance,expected to kill10 million people a year by2050up from around I million in2019,has been seen as a crisis by many. It would be unwise to rely on new antibiotics to solve the problem.The rate at which resistance emerges is increasing.Some new drugs last only two years before bacteria develop resistance. When new antibiotics do arrive,doctors often store them,using them only reluctantly and for short periods when faced with the most persistent infections.That limits sales,making new antibiotics an unappealing idea for most drug firms.Governments have been trying to fix the problem by channeling cash into research in drug firms.That has produced only limited improvements.But there is a phenomenon worth a look. Microbiologists have known for decades that disease-causing bacteria can suffer from illnesses of their own.They are supersensitive to attacks by phages,specialised viruses that infect bacteria and often kill them.Phages are considered a promising alternative to antibiotics.Using one disease-causing virus to fight bacteria has several advantages.Like antibiotics, phages only tend to choose particular targets,leaving human cells alone as they infect and destroy bacterial ones.Unlike antibiotics,phages can evolve just as readily as bacteria can,meaning that even if bacteria do develop resistance,phages may be able to evolve around them in tum.That,at least,is the theory.The trouble with phages is that comparatively little is known about them.After the discovery of penicilin,the first antibiotic,in1928,they were largely ignored in theWest.Given the severity of the antibiotic-resistance problem,it would be a good idea to find out more about themThe first step is to run more clinical trials.Interest from Western firms is growing.But it is being held back by the fact that phages are an even less appealing investment than antibiotics. Since they are natural living things,there may be trouble patenting them,making it hard to recover any investment.Governments can help fund basic research into phage treatment and clarify the law around exactly what is and is not patentable.In time they can set up phage banks so as to make production cheaper.And they can spread awareness of the risks of overusing antibiotics,and the potential benefits of phages.63.We can learn from paragraphs1and2that_______.A.doctors tend to use new antibiotics when the patients ask for themB.antimicrobial resistance is developing more rapidly than predictedC.new antibiotics fail to attract drug firms due to limited use of themD.previous antibiotics are effective in solving modem health problems64.What is phages'advantage over antibiotics?A.They can increase human cells when fighting bacteria.B.They are not particular about which cells to infect and kill.C.They can evolve accordingly when bacteria develop resistance.D.They are too sensitive to be infected by disease-causing bacteria.65.According to the passage,the obstacle to phage treatment is thatA.there is little chance of patenting phages in the futureernments provide financial support for other researchC.the emergence of superbugs holds back drug firms'interestD.over-dependence on antibiotics distracts attention from phages66.What is the main idea of the passage?ernments fail to stop the use of antibiotics.B.Phages could help prevent an antibiotics crisis.C.Development of antibiotics is limited by phages.D.Antimicrobial resistance calls for new antibiotics.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can only be used once.Note that there are two sentences more than you need.A.Social maskers do not try hard to match other people in pace and tone.B.Social masking is something we all engage in to some extent.C.Social maskers are not trying to fox anyone.D.When we are in natural identification with someone,it happens naturally,and there is very little effort involved.E.If's adopted by people unable to naturally act in a way considered socially acceptable.E.That is,it's an ancient part of our evolution to socialize,rather than be anti social or a misfit.Social MaskingAmanda is always an expert at working the room.She would adopt the manner of the people around her to fit in while hiding her true personality.This is social masking,the process of hiding your natural way of interacting with others so you can feel accepted.(67)______Instead,they are hoping to fit in with everybody else.Social masking is a set of learned pattern-matching behaviors,movements and actions where you try to be normal to fit in rather than stand out.(68)_____People all wear certain social masks in order to get through some tricky life situations with confidence,according to Dr.Tarn Quinn-Cirillo.And some experts even think social masking is built in all human beings at a physical level,adding that something in our brain gives indications of how to essentially stay safe and not stick out.In a world that often tells us to just be ourselves,you might wonder why we are still dependent on these social masking behaviors."Social masking happens because we as a species want to be included,"says Tarn.“It has been a tribal thing of being together rather than being on our own, from a historical perspective.(69)_______________There is a huge difference between naturally identifying with someone and consciously social masking.(70)__________Social masking,on the other hand,involves a conscious effort to change your personality to suit your surroundings.It typically involves depressing your natural urges and changing your personal interests to fit the crowd.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.Why Should We Read Literary Classics?Many have grown up on a healthy diet of literary classics.Some literary classics have been inspiring readers in many ways.In this age of fast-turners,how does investing our time in a timeless literary classic change us for the better?Many literary classics from yesteryear,which got little or no success when published,are considered invaluable.These books offer a window through which we can experience histories rooted in different cultures.One can always ask,“But we can do so by reading our history books too.Why do we need to read classics?"The simple answer is that these literary classics are not just a retelling of history.They allow us to have a more individualized experience,where they show us other ways to look at history.It is common knowledge that reading as a habit helps us improve our command of the language.But literary classics have an edge:the enriching writing style is something that sets them apart.Fascinated with the amazing wording and phrasing,we'll surely pause and wonder about what we read.For instance,when we read Shakespeare,we naturally begin to consider how to better express our ideas just like his far-reaching"Have more than you show；speak less than you know."One more benefit is that after reading classics,we won't see non-classics as just other stories: we'll become interested in them.Maybe we'll realize that some details we ignored last time are actually worth appreciating,or we'll discover literary devices that bring a whole new meaning to the story.Literary classics offer us more perspectives to dig deep and enhance our ability to think and reason,which will inevitably spill over into our reading of other works.We finally fall in love with non-classics as well.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.室友们商定好每两天打扫一次宿含。

Carmakers Push Plans to Offer Hydrogen-powered Vehicles Several big automakers recently announced plans to keep investing in hydrogen vehicle technology.The plans come even as many industry experts believe the technology faces a major uphill 31to compete against battery-powered electric cars.Hydrogen-powered cars are also known as fuel cell electric vehicles,or FCEVs.With these vehicles,fuel cells convert(转化)hydrogen gas into electricity.This differs from electric vehicles,or EVs,which get their power from a32battery.Last month,the chief of Japan’s Toyota Motors,Akio Toyoda,attended a race that33an experimental hydrogen vehicle.The vehicle34a traditional gasoline-powered engine that had been converted to run on hydrogen.Toyoda told reporters at the event such conversions could keep traditional internal combustion engines(内燃机)running in a35world.This,he said,could avoid the need to completely leave behind internal combustion and save millions of auto industry jobs.In Germany,BMW and Volkswagen Group are both developing hydrogen-powered passenger高三英语共15页第3页vehicles along with a series of new EVs.BMW said last month it has developed a hydrogen prototype (原型)based on its X5model in a project partly36by the German government.Officials at South Korean automaker Hyundai have also spoken about the importance of continuing to explore hydrogen-based vehicles along with developing EVs.The company currently sells a passenger fuel cell vehicle called the NEXO.And Hyundai announced it plans to offer hydrogen fuel cell versions for all its37vehicles by2028.In fuel cell technology,hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce electrical power.It is considered clean energy because the process only releases water and steam into the atmosphere.This makes the technology a good38for helping the world reduce its carbon emissions.Currently,however,most of the hydrogen produced worldwide is made using natural gas or coal —both of which cause pollution.Supporters of the technology expect that to change over time.They say the39use of electricity from wind and solar energy will be able to separate hydrogen and oxygen in water.Those production methods,however,are more40.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When looking at ways to expand your business,does it make sense to go global?The answer is yes—expanding to international markets helps companies grow,increases buying power and diversifies market opportunities.It better prepares the company for changes in the41economy.It can result in increased profits,a diverse customer base and improved stability.Before the

and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Francis Kéréappears on the screen in a loose white Oxford shirt and an enormous,slightly amazed smile.“Can you imagine?”the newest Pritzker Architecture Prize winner says.“I was born in a little高三英语共15页第5页village in Burkina Faso where there was no school then.And my father wanted me to learn how to read and write very simply because then I could then translate or read him his letters.”The first African winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize had already received numerous awards in his field,but Kéréwas as surprised as anyone else to be selected for the field’s most famous prize.“Francis Kéréis pioneering architecture—sustainable to the earth and its inhabitants—in lands of extreme scarcity,”said committee chair,Tom Pritzker,in a statement.“He is equally architect and servant,improving upon the lives and experiences of countless citizens in a region of the world that is at times forgotten.Through buildings that demonstrate beauty,modesty,boldness and invention,Kérégracefully deserves this Prize.”Kérésays his architectural practice was inspired by his own experience attending school with around100other children in a region where temperatures are regularly higher than100degrees Fahrenheit.“You will sit and it’s very hot inside,”he said.“And there was no light,while outside,the sunlight was strong and in my head the idea one day grew that as an adult,I should make it better.I was thinking about space,about room,about how I can feel better.”In his designs for Gando Primary School and Naaba Belem Goumma Secondary School in Burkina Faso,Kérédrew on traditional building materials and emphasized shade and shadows with well-ventilated(通风良好的)spaces that reduce the need for air conditioning.When he was twenty,in1985,Kéréearned a vocational scholarship to study carpentry in Berlin. But while absorbed in the practicality of roofing and furniture making,he also attended night school and was admitted to Technische Universität Berlin,from which he graduated in2004with an advanced degree in architecture.He was still a student when he designed and built Gando Primary School.It turned out to be a springboard for his career and still guides his ethos(理念)today.56.Which of the following is a reason for Kéré’s winning the Pritzker Architecture Prize?A.His designs are innovative and eco-friendly.B.He’s received plenty of awards in architecture.C.His designs mainly consist of school buildings.D.He’s good at using new materials in his architecture.57._____acts as a stimulus to Kéré’s becoming an architect.A.His study of carpentry in BerlinB.His hometown’s extremely hot whetherC.His parents’expectations of himD.His uncomfortable experience at school58._____helps Kéréestablish his status in architecture.A.His design of Gando Primary SchoolB.His research in Technische Universität BerlinC.His love for nature and his hometownD.His commitment to the development of Africa59.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Francis Kéré:a True Pioneer in African ArchitectureB.Francis Kéré:a Great African Contributor to ArchitectureC.Francis Kéré:the First African to Win Architecture’s Top Award高三英语共15页第6页高三英语共15页第7页D.Francis Kéré:the First African Winner of Awards in Architecture(B)Communicate Fluently &Effectively in English"The Cities are My Classrooms!"Why spend your time in a classroom when you can invest your time studying during breakfast ordinner?And why stay inside in the afternoon when you can study by the beach or in a bar?That's right.That's the way we teach.'Active Learning'is the best way to learn,practice,and perfect your English."Walk and Talk English &Eat and Drink English!"Are you considering new challenges?Would you like to take your English to the next level with our in-house methods that are highly effective,yet relaxing and fun?How about spending your hard-earned vacation time studying English during a delicious breakfast,or during lunch in a historical pub,or at night from a sky room as you enjoy views of London or Dublin?You could be sitting comfortably inside or in front of a palace or castle,drinking coffee or tea while you study.Why not?What is your greatest challenge with the Englishlanguage?Get in touch with us and help us to understandyour difficulty as well as your goals in life.It is essential that the solution we offer also fitsin well with your personality,mindset,objectives with English,your available time totravel,and your family commitments.Lastly,your holiday in Europe,as well as yourexperiences with the English language and yourtravels to different cities,should have that'Wow!'factor that helps you to remember yourholiday forever.✓A language immersion(沉浸)programme is theexperience of diving into a different culture.✓It is not the'false-reality'of the internet or technology.✓To experience historical cities,villages,castles,pubs,businesses etc.,is to understand a country's culture andits DNA.60.The above advertisement is aimed at_____.A.foreign students in Ireland and EnglandB.students in the world’s top-ranked universitiesC.people who’d like to learn English while travellingD.people who’s fluent in English and good at communication61.What is special about English4Professionals?A.It cooperates with the world’s top-ranked universities.B.It exposes learners to the culture in the course of learning.C.It motivates learners by providing bonuses like a trip to Dublin.D.It boasts active learning methods with the help of virtual tourism.62.According to the advertisement,your learning experience with E4P can be_____.A.funny but thrillingB.objective and relaxingC.experiential but exhaustingD.personalized and unforgettable(C)The water off the coast of northwest Greenland is a glass-like calm,but the puddles(水坑)on the region’s icebergs are a sign that a transformation is underway higher on the ice sheet.Several days of unusually warm weather in northern Greenland have caused rapid melting,made visible by the rivers of meltwater rushing into the ocean.Temperatures have been running around60 degrees Fahrenheit—10degrees warmer than normal for this time of year,scientists said.The amount of ice that melted in Greenland between July15and17this year alone—6billion tons of water per day—would be enough to fill7.2million Olympic-sized swimming pools,according to data from the US National Snow and Ice Data Center.Each summer,scientists worry that they will see a repeat of the record melting that occurred in 2019,when532billion tons of ice flowed out into the sea.An unexpectedly hot spring and a July heat wave that year caused almost the entire ice sheet’s surface to melt.Global sea level rose permanently by1.5millimeters as a result.Greenland holds enough ice—if it all melted—to lift sea level by7.5meters around the world. The latest research points to a more and more threatening situation on the Northern Hemisphere’s iciest高三英语共15页第8页island.“Unprecedented(史无前例的)”rates of melting have been observed at the bottom of the Greenland ice sheet,a study published in February found,caused by huge quantities of meltwater flowing down from the surface.This water is particularly concerning because it can destabilize the sheet above it and could lead to a massive,rapid loss of ice.And in2020,scientists found that Greenland’s ice sheet had melted beyond the point of no return. The rate of melting in recent years exceeds anything Greenland has experienced in the last12,000years, another study found—and enough to cause measurable change in the gravitational field over Greenland.At the East Greenland Ice-core Project—or EastGRIP—research camp in northwest Greenland, the work of scientists to understand the impact of climate change is being affected by climate change itself.Aslak Grinsted,a climate scientist at the University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute,said that they have been trying to get flights into the camp but the warmth is destabilizing the landing site.Before human-caused climate change kicked in,temperatures near32degrees Fahrenheit there were unheard of.But since the1980s,this region has warmed by around1.5degrees Fahrenheit per decade—four times faster than the global pace—making it all the more likely that temperatures will cross the melting point.63.The passage is mainly written to_____.A.alert people to the rapid melting of Greenland’s ice sheetB.arouse people’s awareness of protecting the environmentrm people of the large amount of ice Greenland holdsD.reveal to people the cause and effect of the rise in sea level64.What does“a transformation”in the first paragraph refer to?A.Climate change.B.A rise in sea level.C.Global warming.D.The melting of ice.65.What can be learned about the ice that melted in2019?A.It repeated a record melting of the ice sheet several years ago.B.Its amount was the largest ever and lifted sea level permanently.C.It was enough to fill7.2million Olympic-sized swimming pools.D.Its melting rate was so rapid as to result in an unexpectedly hot spring.66.It is implied in the passage that_____.A.climate change is a result of human activitiesB.the study of climate change is being made easierC.the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet is reversible高三英语共15页第9页D.temperatures increase1.5°F or so each decade globallySection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.The company has already achieved several milestones since it was founded.B.Its goal is to create sustainable meat products to replace meats such as beef,chicken and even fish.C.The layers of meat and fat can be regrouped in different proportions to create different flavorexperiences.D.Additionally,producing meat without having to raise and kill cattle may work out better forensuring animal welfare and overall health.E.The meat product is the first of its kind and was created using a specific3D-bioprintingtechnology that was recently patented by the company.F.In the final steps,the muscle cells and fat cells are turned into meat,ready to be processed into thefinal product,whether it’s a burger,steak,or even a meatloaf.Israeli Company Develops3D Printed BeefIf there were an award for the funniest company name of2022,then the3D printed meat company “Steakholder”would win that award.Israeli company Steakholder Foods Ltd.has introduced its new product,Omakase Beef Morsels, which are bioprinted with cultured meat.The bites are inspired by the world-famous Wagyu beef, famous for its fat marbling patterns(大理石花纹)in the meat,which is also very expensive.The company was formed in2019and has an office in Israel and Belgium,and is now expanding its operations to the US.67Stakeholder uses stem cells from cattle for the production of its printed beef,and the muscle tissue and fat are printed from two separate bio-inks.68A bite can be made juicier,chewier,and the taste can also be altered.The process works by first selecting the animals to extract(提取)the stem cells from.The cells are selected from animals that will provide the best meat and yield.The next step is proliferation,in which the cells are placed into a nutrient rich reactor to multiply.When the cells reach appropriate numbers,the stem cells change into muscle cells and fat cells.69“This product marks a major step forward for us and for the cultured meat industry in general,”said Arik Kaufman,CEO of Steakholder Foods.“It is the result of a lot of hard work and our desire to achieve the highest level of meat possible through bioprinting and cell culture processes.”高三英语共15页第10页70Its patent for3D-bioprinting technology is the result of intensive cooperation between its3D printing engineers and cell biologists.“We see Omakase Beef Morsels as the combination of food,technology and fine art,”Kaufman said.“We want to inspire chefs around the world to create delicious masterpieces and unforgettable dining experiences.”So there you have it,guilt-free meat eating may be just around the corner.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.ChatbotsWhat if instead of clicking on link after link on a company’s website,you could type a question and get an immediate,customized answer?Some companies are working to make this a reality using chatbots.Chatbots are computer programs that can communicate with human beings by phone,on messaging apps or on websites.There are two types of chatbots:open and closed.A closed chatbot follows a script,which may or may not involve using AI(artificial intelligence)to understand users’messages.An open chatbot uses AI both to figure out what users want and to generate responses.Open chatbots are able to learn from their conversations and thus improve their ability to communicate over time.This means that open chatbots can respond to a wider range of inquiries,compared with closed municating with them feels more natural,but if they have not been correctly trained,users may have a bad experience with them.One significant advantage of chatbots is that they are available all the time,even in the middle of the night.Plus,a single chatbot can cater to multiple users at once.This means that users can get immediate answers to their questions rather than waiting for a human representative.Chatbots have the potential to overcome several technological problems people face.These include difficulty in searching websites and trouble finding basic information and answers to simple questions.However,in order for chatbots to work,humans are still indispensable(不可或缺的).Someone has to program the chatbots initially,train them,and maintain and improve the chatbot system.Further, even open chatbots may not have the answers to detailed questions,and many people simply prefer speaking to a human rather than a chatbot.Thus,chatbots are unlikely to completely replace human agents.Rather,they will help users resolve simple problems so that customer service representatives can focus on more difficult issues.高三英语共15页第11页V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.帮我去楼下杂货店买点面粉，行吗？(help)73.据报道，目前最重要的是要恢复被飓风摧毁的电力系统。

Role in Restoring the Notre Dame Cathedral(巴黎圣母院) It’s been more than four years since a fire damaged Notre Dame,the Catholic cathedral in Paris that’s historically drawn millions of visitors every year.Since then,people from around the world have united to support an effort,31by French President,that’s intended to have the building back open to the public by the end of next year.Teams working to restore the Gothic cathedral have32to rebuild much of the damaged sections using materials like oak wood(橡木)and stone that have stood the test of centuries.But the builders,architects and engineers do have the33of some21st century technologies,including modern b u i l d i n g i n f o r m a t i o n m o d e l i n g(B I M)s o f t w a r e t h a t e n a b l e s t h e m t o w o r k w i t h a(n)

constructed,”says Andrew Anagnost,CEO of design software35Autodesk.It has contributed technical consulting,software and financial assistance to the project since shortly after the fire.A digital model,which took more than a year to create,includes more than12,000objects.It was a complex process.Onsite workers captured the point-by-point3D36of the cathedral with laser(激光) and photo equipment.Then,others turned the data points from that process into detailed shapes and objects,down to individual building stones.That let experts see how the building shifted in the fire—important for37any stability issues—and plan out the process of reconstruction.“It’s like Mission:Impossible when they plan,”says Nicolas Mangon,VP of architecture,engineering and construction industry strategy at Autodesk.“Every little piece is done38,and with the3D model you can simulate (模拟)everything.”Even when the cathedral is39,the model may still serve important roles.Mangon says the company is c u r

levels along coastlines in the United States will rise about one foot by2050,with larger increases on the East and Gulf coasts,according to a comprehensive new report by climate scientists.Oceans have already risen about one foot in the last century,as climate change melts glaciers(冰川)and ice caps around the world.But the pace is41,scientists warn,and the next30years will see the same amount of sea level rise as the previous100.The report gives the most concrete and certain sea level42ever published for the U.S.And advances in computer models and real-world information about rising seas make it possible to see the future more43than ever.Sea level rise44dramatically for different parts of the U.S.coast.The ocean is not like a bucket of water that rises at the same time as more liquid is45.Ocean46push more water into some areas than others.Ice in different regions melts at different rates.In many parts of the world,sea level rise is47because coastal land is sinking.The new report adds up all those factors to give48estimates for different parts of the U.S.The authors predict about a foot and a half of sea level rise for the Gulf Coast by2050,with particular hot spots from Texas to Mississippi,where exploitation of underground oil,gas and drinking water is causing the land to rapidly49into the rising ocean water.There are50hot spots in the Mid-Atlantic region,including Annapolis,Md.and Norfolk, Va.Overall,the East Coast is51to experience a little more than a foot of sea level rise in the next30years.Sea level rise is happening more52on the West Coast,including much of southern and western Alaska,the report finds.The authors predict about six inches of sea level rise by2050.William Sweet,a sea level rise expert with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA)and one of the authors of the new report,says cities that are not yet flooded should53now.Quickening sea level rise may require that humans54where and how we build

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Most teachers assign novels for students to read not write.But many teachers nationwide are not only asking students to read novels but also giving them a month to write them.Yes,you read that right:one month.However,students participating in November’s National Novel Writing Month(NaNoWriMo)do not complain about being overworked.Instead,they have been known to ask,“Can we work on our novels today?”That’s because, above all,NaNoWriMo is meant to be fun.An exercise in“seat-of-your-pants”novel writing,it has almost no rules.The Office of Letters and Light is the nonprofit behind the event.It believes this carefree approach encourages writers to take imaginative risks and truly enjoy their work.Founded in1999,the adult version of the event requires only that you commit yourself to making an attempt at novel writing and submitting a novel of50,000words,no matter how good or bad they are,by the end of November.Since2005,NaNoWriMo has entered many classrooms,including those of National Writing Project teachers, through its Young Writers Program.In addition,teachers receive a classroom kit featuring a progress chart,stickers to mark word counts,and buttons for writers who cross the finish line.About1,800classrooms and45,000kids and teens participated last year.The rules for under-18writers are the same as those for adults.But there is one important exception:young writers can pick their own“reasonable yet challenging”word length.If a student elects to write,say,18,000words and achieves this goal in a month,he or she is a winner. Awards include a“handsome winner’s certificate”and a promotional code to receive a free bound proof copy of the finished novel.The Young Writers Program also facilitates Script Frenzy,a similar scriptwriting(剧本写作)event that happens each April and challenges participants to write a100-page script in30days.While young writers work primarily as individuals,teachers are also encouraged to write along with them.56.It can be inferred that students usually_____after participating in NaNoWriMo.A.enjoy themselvesB.overload themselvesC.look courageousD.become distracted57.By“seat-of-your-pants”in paragraph2,the author means_____.A.the novel writing activity gives its participants pants as awardsB.the participants have to stick on their seats for long writing novelsC.the participants are free to write whatever novels they can imagineD.the novel writing activity needs new rules for participants to follow58.What can be learned about the rules for adolescent writers?A.They should cross the finish line before participating.B.They can lengthen the duration of their writing process.C.They can decide on their novels’word counts themselves.D.They should submit novels on their teachers’recommendation.59.The passage is mainly aimed at_____.A.explaining the objectives of an eventB.giving a general introduction to an eventC.illustrating the benefits of novel writingD.attracting teachers to join a writing program(B)YOUR IMPACT BEGINS TODAYHelp us solve our world's mostpressing challengesWithyoursupport,we’re driving newknowledge,working to reduce ourhuman footprint on the planet,andinspiring a new generation ofchangemakers to value the naturalworld and help create a brighterfuture.100%of all donations go directly to our Explorers and programs.We’ve built a sustainable,innovative business model that allows us to invest every dollar you donate directly to our Explorers and programs.When you support the National Geographic Society,not only are you supporting your passion for the planet,but you also help protect its wonder.You ensure our mission lives on so we can continue exploring the planet,savingwildlife,protectingour ocean,empowering the world’s most innovative scientists to help solve the planet’s mysteries and challenges,and preserving our ancient heritage (遗产)for future generations.Your generous contribution will immediately go to work supporting the things you care passionately about —not operating costs.SUPPORT OUR WORKTax-free gifts National Geographic Society is a tax-free organization,and we rely on the generosity of donors like you to support our Explorers’work in science,exploration,education,and storytelling.Single and monthly donationsMake a gift today to help explore andprotect our planet.By givingmonthly,your reliable support allowsus to respond to the most pressingprogrammatic needs.Employer Matching Gifts Many companies have a matching gift program for employees.You give an amount and your company donates the same.Double your impact by exploring your employer’smatching gift programs.Honor/Memorial Giving Honor a friend or loved one’s passion for science,exploration,education,and storytelling by making an unusual gift in their name.60.The above webpage is aimed at _____.A.appealing to people to preserve ancient heritageB.guiding people to invest in a sustainable businessC.attracting donations to National Geographic SocietyD.publicizing the mission of National Geographic Society61.To make your contribution twice as much,you can _____.A.support the most pressing employerB.reduce the tax attached to the donationC.make it a gift in the name of your friendD.try your company’s matching gift programs 62.What can be learned about National Geographic Society?A.It needs no operating costs.B.It is dedicated to protecting nature.C.Its mission hasn’t been recognized.D.Its employees needn’t pay income tax.More than three billion people rely on the ocean to make a living,most of whom are in developing countries.As the global population increases,the demand for seafood is expected to rise,too.Although ocean ecosystems are stretched to the limit by climate change,overfishing and more,studies nevertheless suggest that seafood can be expanded sustainably to meet future food demands.Success will depend on small-scale fisheries.These fisheries can be remarkably efficient.Almost everything that hand-to-mouth fisheries catch is consumed. By contrast,around20%of the fish caught by industrial ships is estimated to be wasted,mainly because of unwanted by-catch.Small fishers rarely have the right resources to expand their operations,or even to survive.If they do scale up,they might lose some of their current advantages or engage in the same harmful practices as do large commercial fisheries. Managed with care,however,small fisheries could provide win-wins for livelihoods and the environment.Most nations already have management policies for marine ecosystems that provide for small-scale fisheries.But small-scale fishers’rights to access are often poorly defined,ineffectively enforced or unfairly distributed(分配). Government subsidies(补贴)also require reform.One estimate found that large-scale fishers receive about3.5times more subsidies than small-scale fishers do.Instead,subsidies and other funds should be directed towards small-scale fishers to let them expand their access to markets,while keeping them from adopting the negative practices of large-scale operations.The total global loss and waste from fisheries is estimated at between30%and35%annually primarily due to a lack of technology,good manufacturing practices,and infrastructure such as decent roads and cold storage.Public and private investment in cold-storage facilities and processing equipment could help.One promising strategy is to pair international or national funding with direct contracts for feeding programmes linked to schools,hospitals and similar facilities.Such arrangements would provide small fisheries with large,consistent markets and storage infrastructure that boosts local consumption and does not incentivize(刺激)overfishing.Moreover,simple incentive programmes could be conducted by funders,managers and local governments trying to promote sustainable fisheries.For example,local markets could display a rating system for individual fishers or small fisheries.This could include various elements of sustainability other than environmental ones—such as providing information on the type of fishing equipment,location of the catch and freshness.Promoting the rating as a social responsibility concept would inform consumers of the need to support sustainable fisheries.Anyway,only joint problem-solving efforts can deliver seafood protein,sustainably,to a world that increasingly needs it.63.The passage mainly tells us that_____.A.small fisheries can help the world if managed with careB.the global demand for seafood is increasing dramaticallyC.small-scale fisheries need to be commercialised urgentlyD.people in developing countries are more reliable on fishing64.Small-scale fisheries are more efficient because_____.A.what they catch is hardly wastedB.their by-catch accounts for a larger shareC.they catch fish by industrial meansD.their operation is limited within a small area65.What can be inferred about small fisheries’current situation?A.They gain no support from governments.B.They are expanding to meet local demands.C.They have little access to good resources.D.They impact marine ecosystems negatively.66.To promote sustainable fisheries,which of the following is one of the author’s suggestions?A.To initiate a rating system for small fishers to evaluate the local markets.B.To provide technology for small fisheries to boost their fishing efficiency.C.To inspire a sense of social responsibility in large-scale fishers and consumers.D.To facilitate direct cooperation between small fisheries and feeding programmes.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Here we show how this work translates to humans.B.Many college students experience irregular and insufficient sleep.C.The study evaluated more than600first-year students across five studies at three universities.D.Most surprising to me was that no matter what we did to make the effect go away,it persisted.E.The results are available in the Feb.13issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.F.Total nightly sleep is a potentially important and underappreciated behavior supporting academic achievement.Nightly Sleep Is Key to Student SuccessFor young adults,college is a time of transition.It may be the first time students have the freedom to determine how to spend their time,but this freedom comes with competing interests from academics,social events and even sleep.A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted the first study to evaluate how the duration of nightly sleep early in the semester affects first year college students’end-of-semester grade point average(GPA).Using sleep trackers, they found that students on average sleep6.5hours a night,but negative outcomes built up when students received less than six hours of sleep a night.67David Creswell,the William S.Dietrich II Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences,led a team of researchers to evaluate the relationship between sleep and GPA.“Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory,”said Creswell.“68The less nightly sleep a first-year college student gets at the beginning of the school term predicts lower GPA at the end of the ck of sleep may be hurting students’ability to learn in their college classrooms.”69The researchers found that students who receive less than six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance.In addition,each hour of sleep lost corresponded to(相对应)a0.07decrease in end-of-term GPA.“Once you start dropping below six hours,you are starting to add massive sleep debt that can harm a student’s health and study habits,damaging the whole system,”said Creswell.“70”“A popular belief among college students is valuing studying more or partying more over nightly sleep,”said Creswell.“Our work here suggests that there are potentially real costs to reducing your nightly sleep on your ability to learn and achieve in college.There’s real value in budgeting for the importance of nightly sleep.”IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main

for the pain pills?No!Call a physical therapist instead!More and more,physical therapy,or PT,is a common go-to for treating aches and pains.A physical therapist can treat almost any injury to give a patient a better quality of life.When it comes to treatment,one size does not fit all.A physical therapist personalizes a treatment plan based on their observations and the patient’s concerns.The goal is to help injured or ill people improve movement and manage pain,so they can live life to the fullest.These therapists work with patients who suffer from back or neck injuries.They help people recover from broken bones and surgeries as well as work-or sports-related injuries.Physical therapists also teach people how to stay in shape and prevent further injuries. Their hands-on(动手的)therapy includes strengthening or stretching exercises,ice or heat and more.No one can become a physical therapist without getting a doctor of physical therapy degree.After completing it,a person must pass a professional license exam before beginning to practice.Further,being a physical therapist can be mentally and physically draining because of the hands-on,personalized patient care required.A successful physical therapist needs to have great communication skills and an eye for detail.They should also be creative problem solvers as well as resourceful.For those looking for a satisfying career,PT is one to consider.The demand for the profession is growing faster than that of many other careers.Private clinics and hospitals hire physical therapists.Sports facilities and professional sports teams also employ them.Therapists may work in skilled nursing facilities or visit patients in their own homes.If someone wants to see the world,they may want to become a travel physical therapist.Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.这个保安负责又睿智，让公司避免了损失。

"We found that hearing their owners using a high-pitched voice,cats reacted more than when hearing their owner speaking normally to another human adult,"said Charlotte de Mouzon,an author of the study."But it actually didn't work when it came from a stranger's voice." (25)_____studies involving dogs,analyzing cat behavior is difficult,which is part of why humans understand them less.Cats are stressed by being in a lab(26)__________meaningful behavioral observations become impossible.And forget about trying to get a cat(27)_____(sit)still for an M. R.I.scan(核磁共振扫描)to study its brain function.So the researchers for the latest study went to the cats'homes and played recordings of different types of speech and different speakers.At first,there was concern from Dr.de Mouzon and her team for lack of reaction from the cats,but upon analysis of the film recordings,delicate reactions(28)_____(notice)."It could be just moving an ear or turning the head to the speaker or even freezing what(29)_____were doing,”Dr.de Mouzon said.In the study,there were a few cases(30)_____cats would approach the speaker playing a voice and meow."In the end,we had really clear gains in the cat's attention when the owner was using cat-directed speech,”Dr.de Mouzon said.Section BDirections:Fill in eat blank wit a proper word chosen form the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A arrives B.observable.C.boundless. D.contained.E.distancing.F.expansionG.lies H.parallel I.perceiving J.threads K volumeWhat Comes After Space?Looking at a clear night sky you witness the vastness of space,which holds everything humans know to exist.To find out what__31___beyond a good place to start is to determine where the universe ends However,the problem is that scientist are uncertain about where space ends or whether it ends at all.The___32__universeThe furthest humans can see out into space,using all the technology currently available to us,is 46billion light years(alight year is the distance that light can travel in one year,and is equivalent to about9.5million million kilometres).The___33__of space that humans can see is called the visible universe.Beyond this,it remains a mystery whether it's an expanse of more galaxies and stars or possibly the edge of the universe.Some think that the universe is__34___,meaning space goes on forever in every direction.In this case,there is nothing after space,because space is everything.Moving further awayExperts have captured images of the entire Earth from space,and some astronauts have personally witnessed its beauty from orbit.Perhaps__35___the limits of the universe would also be possible too,if only humans knew where to go to look for it.Another challenge is the universe's rapid___36__.As galaxies move further away their light takes longer to reach us.Eventually,some galaxies may be so distant that their light never __37___.This might imply that any edge—and whatever is on the other side—is increasingly ___38__itself from us.Regardless of these uncertainties,scientists still spend a lot of time thinking about what comes after space.Many universes?It's possible that there isn’t just one universe,and that our universe is just one small part of a "multiverse".Perhaps our universe is___39__within its own distinct region of space,separated from others by vast expanses of nothingness.Or maybe__40___universes exist,pressed tightly against each other.Getting an idea of the universe's true shape may help astronomers find out whether it has an edge.What comes after that could be an even great mystery.II.Reading ComprehensionDirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,Cand D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the contextBack in1930,the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that with technological change and improvements in-productivity,we'd only be working15hours a week by now.But while working hours have___41__by26%.most of us still average42.5hours a week One of the things Keynes underestimated is the human desire to__42___with our peers—a drive that makes most of us work more than we need to."We don't measure productivity by how much we’ve harvested anymore,”says Alex Soojung-Kim Pang,visiting scholar at Stanford University."Overworking has been part of Western society since the Industrial Revoltion.When some predicted that automation would create an extra amount of__43___time,needless to say,that didn’t happen.Thanks to computerization and globalization in the1980s,managers could demand more of employees under the___44___that jobs could be given to someone else.So the___45___piled on.And we took it exhausted,but asking up the burden all the same.The psychologist Barbara Killnger writes in Workaholics:Te Respectable Addicts about how we___46___sacrifice our own well-being through overwork for“success”But far from delivering productivity,value,or personal fulfillment,overwork has been proven to lead to burnout,stress,greater risk of heart disease and even shorter lifespans.___47___we carried on—until COVID-19came along.Besides making us work longer hours from home,COVID-19has also___48___the move towards the adoption of automated machine,especially tor jobs requiring much interpersonal contact-from Amazon developing delivery drones(无人机)to self-driving cars.By2050,Michael Osborne,a professor of machine learning at the University of Oxford,predicts that at least40%of current jobs will be lost to___49___There are___50___.Jobs that involve complex social interactions are beyond current robot skills:so teaching,social care,nursing and counselling are all likely to___51___the AI revolution. As are jobs that rely on creativity.The same also goes for___52___jobs,according to Osborne,due to the large number of different objects cleaners encounter and the variety of ways those objects need to be dealt with.Interestingly,areas of the workplace traditionally dominated by women won't be so easily adopted by AI.Robots are unlikely to___53___in the“work”of taking care of children,preparing lunchboxes and doing the laundry.Those whose work falls outside the caring,cleaning or creative field will still work in future,just___54___.In about60%of occupations,it is estimated that a third of the tasks can be automated,meaning changes to tho way we work.A large-scale study has predicted that over the next20years,although7million jobs will be taken over by AI.7.2million new ones will be___ 55___as a result.So we will work in future:we just don't know what we'll be doing yet.41.A.declined B.increased C.continued D.kept42.A.disagree pete C.cooperate D.identify43.A.working B.tough

BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)¹I was always a reader²As a kid,I walked to the library several times a week and checked out so many books and returned them so quickly that the librarian once snapped,"Don't take home so many books if you're not going to read them all!”³“But I did read them all,”I said.⁴'But I had stopped reading gradually.I joined book clubs that I never attended.I requested a library bookeveryone was reading,only to return it a week late,unread,with fines.⁵Then I met David.When I asked him about his last book,his face lit up and his fingers danced.⁶David read much more than I did,about a book or two a week.He preferred history and nonfiction,while I loved fiction writers.⁷On our seventh date,David and I visited the library.⁸"I have a game,"he said,pulling two pens and Post-its out of his bag."Let's find books we've read and leave reviews in them for the next person."⁹"We wandered in the library for an hour.In the end,we sat on the floor among the poetry,and I read him some.He listened,then asked,“What is it you like about that one?”¹ºThat summer,as we picnicked outside,I said,"If I tell you something,will you not judge me?"David paused and raised his eyebrows.¹¹"I've only read one book this year,”I said.¹²“But it's June,”he said.¹³“I know."¹⁴“Well,read a book!”¹⁵The next time I visited a bookstore,his charge to"read a book”echoed in my head.I picked up a booksolely for its poetic title.¹⁶Thad a hard time getting into it.The narrator was an old man.Whenever I was tempted to give up on it,I thought of David.I pushed through the first two chapters and discovered a new narrator in the third.I loved the alternating points of view.I carried the book to work.I read at lunch and on my walk home¹⁷“How's your day?”David texted.¹⁸Good.A little tired,”I replied."I stayed up late and finished my book."¹⁹I tried to make it sound casual,but I was proud of myself.It was not a competition,but I felt him pushing me to be more of the person I used to be and more of who I wanted to be.²ºI asked David once what he liked about me²¹He paused,then said."I see the world as a more wonder-filled place with you."²²By the end of that year,David suggested we visit the library again.He asked if I remembered the game we played on our first visit.²³"I remember,”I said.²⁴He pulled a book from the shelf,dropped to one knee,and opened it.Inside,his Post-it read:“Karla,it has always been you.Will you marry me?"²⁵His proposal had rested between the pages of The Rebel Princess for over a year.²⁶"Yes,”I said.56.The word“snapped”(paragraph2)most probably means"______.A.talked to someone voluntarilyB.spoke to someone impatientlyC.gave someone a suggestionughed at someone heartlessly57.Which of the following may best illustrate the author's reading habit when she first met David?A.Carrying books around without opening them.B.Only reading the books everyone recommended.C.Avoiding sharing books when going to book clubs.D.Often forgetting to return the books already read58.According to paragraph19,why was the author proud of herself?A.She finished reading a book she didn’t like.B.She had read more books than David did.C.She did what she thought to be difficult.D.She had kept to her taste in poetic titles.59.What was the main change that David brought into the author's life?A.He introduced a new library and a fun game to the author.B.He encouraged the author to read more fiction and poetry.C.He helped the author finish reading an entire book in a day.D.He motivated the author to rediscover her love for reading.(B)Can you stand on one leg for10seconds?Balance could be a matter of life and death.The World Health Organization estimates that684,000fatal falls occur each year,making falling the second leading cause of unintentional injury death.Some of these falls are caused by more serious conditions -but many aren't.According to George Locker,a long-term practitioner of tai chi,a loss of balance is a medical problem that can't be treated with drugs or surgery,despite its effectsIncreasingly,efforts are being made to remedy(补救)the balance problem among the groups already most affected by it.Tai chi,practiced by an estimated50million people in China,is an option.Studies have shown that as little as eight weeks of practice can improve older adults'scores on the Tinetti test—a commonly used measure of competence in basic tasks such as rising from a chair and walking—as well as reducing fear of falling.Longer periods of study show further benefits.Whatever activity you choose,the lesson is to work on your balance before you need to,not after it becomes an issue.As Locker puts it:everyone's told to save money for their retirement,and nobody's taught to save their balance.But both are difficult to get back once they're gone.Just15minutes a day of practice can be beneficial,but do more if you have time Starting earlier helps:try the exercises below on a hard,level surface.Easy Level:Standing on one leg—with your hands resting on a work surface if you're feeling unsteady—see how long you can maintain your balance.Do this one while you' re brushing your teeth.Medium Level:For this movement,start from standing and take a big step forwards, bending your front leg until your trailing knee just brushes the floor.Then push off your front leg and return to a standing position. Hard Level:Try step-ups on to a step or box:put one foot on to a box and push through that heel to step up so both feet end up together.To ensure you aren't using your trailing leg to help,keep your toes off the ground on that foot.60.What does George Locker think of a lack of balance?A.It is costly to get treated with drugs and surgery.B.It is a minor issue that doesn’t affect one's overall health.C.It is a problem without any medical solution.D.It is a problem that can be easily fixed by exercising.61.Which of the following best illustrates the Medium Level practice?62.What is the lesson conveyed in the passage regarding balance and health?A.Balance is the top leading cause of sudden death from injuries.B.It is essential for those affected by balance issues to seek help.C.Taichi is the most effective way to improve one's balance.D.It is wiser to work on balance as early as possible.(C)The concept of dynamic pricing is simple—and easy for businesses to implement.Whether it' s a Friday-evening fight,a hotel during the holidays,or a taxi ride in a downpour,we have all been burned by higher-than-normal prices due to excess demand.Raising costs when businesses are busiest is the norm across the travel industry Perhaps the most well-known example of this is within ride-share companies,which have used surge pricing for years to charge riders when demand for cars rockets relative to the number of drivers available.Outside travel,online stores are increasingly using this dynamic pricing,too,says Vomberg."On alone,millions of price changes occur within a day,corresponding to a price change of about every ten minutes for each product."While consumers might not always pick up on these variations in price,Vomberg says time-based dynamic pricing will likely become a competitive standard at least in online markets."AI-enabled tools can suggest the best prices via machine learning algorithms(算法).They can also track and learn competitor and customer responses to price changes,"he says.Now,surge pricing is happening in stores including bars and supermarkets as well."Physical businesses are adopting electronic shelf labels that enable real time price adjustment depending on the time of day.stock levels and whether items are approaching their sell-by date,"saysSarwar Khawaja,chairman of the Oxford Education Group.He says this technology is likely to cause prices in bars that use these signs to increase during the rushes of dinner,weekends or holidays,or for supermarkets to adjust prices throughout the day or week,depending on volume of shoppers.The current economic climate is also driving the need for these pricing technologies.While creating competitive prices is always key to healthy profit margins.Khawaia says dynamic pricing enables businesses to optimise their pricing depending on the financial situations of their customer base."Businesses can offer discounts during downturns.while increasing prices in better off areas,"he says.The changes,however,may not sit well with consumers."Dynamic and surge pricing will likely expand to more industries and more companies in the long term,but just because a product may be popular does not mean that customers are willing to turn a blind eye to being charged more,"says Khawaja.He adds surge pricing can cause customers to lose faith in a company if they believe they are being overcharged."Perhaps dynamic pricing of a drink in your favourite pub might be a step too far for loyal customers."63.Which of the following best explains"dynamic pricing"in paragraph1?A.A system of deciding what the prices should be.B.A means for companies to find target customers.C.A method that helps promote sharing economyD.A strategy of offering discounts to attract clients.64.It can be inferred from Arnd Vomberg's comments that online stores______.A.offer the most competitive pricesB.make profits by changing prices in real timeC.confuse customers by changing pricesD.rely too much on machine learning algorithms65.According to the passage,why do physical businesses adopt dynamic pricing?A.To match supply and demand during peak hours.B.To lift customer experience and encourage loyalty.C.To maintain consistent pricing across all products.D.To compete with online stores and businesses.66.Which of the following best predicts how customers may react to the expansion of dynamic pricing?A.Turn to whatever offers the lowest prices.B.Protest against it for being too annoying.C.Refuse to give in and are likely to resist.D.Take it for granted and accept it altogether.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Focus on the one thing you are doing.B.Habits like these which encourage you to multitask make you mentally exhausted and unproductive.C Make sure that you also take breaks in your monotasking,because that's what helps your brain to stay focused.D.So it's a win-win for everyone!E The little information we do take in when we're multitasking is more difficult to remember at a later stage.F.You feel so good that you believe you're being effective and further encourages your multitasking habit.Why Do You Find It So Hard to Not Multitask?Most of us do multitasking almost daily.But it's time to change that.Your attention is already being pulled in millions of directions daily,so you really don't need to add multitasking to the list. Let's take the smartphone for example.On average you check your phone110times a day—that means you're spending23days every year glued to your smartphone!How productive do you think that makes you?_______67_____But it's hard to let go of these habits because you've conditioned your brain to send misleading signals to your body.Research has shown that when you multitask“successfully”,you activate the reward mechanism in your brain that releases dopamine,the happy hormone. _______68_______.This rush can also make you overly optimistic,which means you are less careful about the work you do and more likely to make mistakes.Multitaskers basically get addicted to this rush which leads them to believe they are being effectivewhen in fact they're not.You can find healthier,more balanced dopamine releases through ticking things on your to-do list through mono-,or single-tasking too.Since our brains can only effectively focus on one thing at a time,this is the way for you to accomplish more in less time.Research has suggested you're 50%quicker on average to accomplish a task if you monotask,and you're also50%less like to make errors._______69_______.You'll also be able to appreciate things on a deeper level and get more enjoyment from them when you're focused.If you're chatting to a friend over coffee while checking your phone,you're not making the most out of your time with your friend!Now you're probably desperate to find out how to get rid of this multiasking habit so youcan find real productivity.There is no easy answer.You simply have to commit to it and have the self-discipline to stick to one task at a time.Just say to yourself:When I walk,I walk.When I talk to someone,I talk to someone.When I read,I read.It's as simple as that._______70_______.And like that,you've mastered monotasking.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.Will Plant-based Protein Continue to be an Appetizer in Food World?A good vegan milk needs to look like milk and taste like milk,whether it's a fatty version,preferred by bakers,or a skimmed one,favored by the health-conscious.For years,manufacturers of plant-based protein have had trouble hacking this delicate imitation game and it seems that they are winning back a bit.The global revenues(收益)from alternative proteins could reach$290billion by2035and that is a cautious estimate.However,can it last?Unlike those early products,which were neither terribly tasty nor particularly nutritious,cleaver(剁肉刀)processing improves textures,additives boost taste and a pinch of specially engineered peas and beans adds nutrient in the latest products.Still,ultra-processed substitutes seldom match animal proteins in nutritional value.Animal products,including milk,are better for children's bone development,though lab-grown versions of meat or dairy are becoming more nutritious.Meanwhile,green-minded consumers are realizing that plant-based does not necessarily mean sustainable in that it still takes a lot to obtain raw materials.Farming almonds(杏仁)to make a milk-like drink,for example,uses huge quantities of water.Plant-based proteins are also a tough sell in giant markets like India,where diets are already rich in plants and vegetables,or Nigera,where meat-eating is a sign of wealth.That limits their global appeal.All these suggests that alternative proteins have far to go to replace the animal kind.The limitations may be weighing on the firms involved.Oatly's market value has fallen by about 80%since its listing,partly because of production difficulties.That of Beyond Meat,whose burgers feature in McDonald's latest menu,is down by90%from its peak.Plant-based foods may no longer be only an appetizer in diets,but their makerremain one in food business.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.我听说你的表弟是个不折不扣的“社牛”,是吗?(hear)。

Carmakers Push Plans to Offer Hydrogen-powered Vehicles Several big automakers recently announced plans to keep investing in hydrogen vehicle technology.The plans come even as many industry experts believe the technology faces a major uphill 31to compete against battery-powered electric cars.Hydrogen-powered cars are also known as fuel cell electric vehicles,or FCEVs.With these vehicles,fuel cells convert(转化)hydrogen gas into electricity.This differs from electric vehicles,or EVs,which get their power from a32battery.Last month,the chief of Japan’s Toyota Motors,Akio Toyoda,attended a race that33an experimental hydrogen vehicle.The vehicle34a traditional gasoline-powered engine that had been converted to run on hydrogen.Toyoda told reporters at the event such conversions could keep traditional internal combustion engines(内燃机)running in a35world.This,he said,could avoid the need to completely leave behind internal combustion and save millions of auto industry jobs.In Germany,BMW and Volkswagen Group are both developing hydrogen-powered passenger vehicles along with a series of new EVs.BMW said last month it has developed a hydrogen prototype (原型)based on its X5model in a project partly36by the German government.Officials at South Korean automaker Hyundai have also spoken about the importance of continuing to explore hydrogen-based vehicles along with developing EVs.The company currently sells a passenger fuel cell vehicle called the NEXO.And Hyundai announced it plans to offer hydrogen fuel cell versions for all its37vehicles by2028.In fuel cell technology,hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce electrical power.It is considered clean energy because the process only releases water and steam into the atmosphere.This makes the technology a good38for helping the world reduce its carbon emissions.Currently,however,most of the hydrogen produced worldwide is made using natural gas or coal —both of which cause pollution.Supporters of the technology expect that to change over time.They say the39use of electricity from wind and solar energy will be able to separate hydrogen and oxygen in water.Those production methods,however,are more40.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits

and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Francis Kéréappears on the screen in a loose white Oxford shirt and an enormous,slightly amazed smile.“Can you imagine?”the newest Pritzker Architecture Prize winner says.“I was born in a little village in Burkina Faso where there was no school then.And my father wanted me to learn how to read and write very simply because then I could then translate or read him his letters.”The first African winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize had already received numerous awards in his field,but Kéréwas as surprised as anyone else to be selected for the field’s most famous prize.“Francis Kéréis pioneering architecture—sustainable to the earth and its inhabitants—in lands of extreme scarcity,”said committee chair,Tom Pritzker,in a statement.“He is equally architect and servant,improving upon the lives and experiences of countless citizens in a region of the world that is at times forgotten.Through buildings that demonstrate beauty,modesty,boldness and invention,Kérégracefully deserves this Prize.”Kérésays his architectural practice was inspired by his own experience attending school with around100other children in a region where temperatures are regularly higher than100degrees Fahrenheit.“You will sit and it’s very hot inside,”he said.“And there was no light,while outside,the sunlight was strong and in my head the idea one day grew that as an adult,I should make it better.I was thinking about space,about room,about how I can feel better.”In his designs for Gando Primary School and Naaba Belem Goumma Secondary School in Burkina Faso,Kérédrew on traditional building materials and emphasized shade and shadows with well-ventilated(通风良好的)spaces that reduce the need for air conditioning.When he was twenty,in1985,Kéréearned a vocational scholarship to study carpentry in Berlin. But while absorbed in the practicality of roofing and furniture making,he also attended night school and was admitted to Technische Universität Berlin,from which he graduated in2004with an advanced degree in architecture.He was still a student when he designed and built Gando Primary School.It turned out to be a springboard for his career and still guides his ethos(理念)today.56.Which of the following is a reason for Kéré’s winning the Pritzker Architecture Prize?A.His designs are innovative and eco-friendly.B.He’s received plenty of awards in architecture.C.His designs mainly consist of school buildings.D.He’s good at using new materials in his architecture.57._____acts as a stimulus to Kéré’s becoming an architect.A.His study of carpentry in BerlinB.His hometown’s extremely hot whetherC.His parents’expectations of himD.His uncomfortable experience at school58._____helps Kéréestablish his status in architecture.A.His design of Gando Primary SchoolB.His research in Technische Universität BerlinC.His love for nature and his hometownD.His commitment to the development of Africa59.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Francis Kéré:a True Pioneer in African ArchitectureB.Francis Kéré:a Great African Contributor to ArchitectureC.Francis Kéré:the First African to Win Architecture’s Top AwardD.Francis Kéré:the First African Winner of Awards in Architecture(B)Communicate Fluently&Effectively in English"The Cities are My Classrooms!"Why spend your time in a classroom when you can invest your time studying during breakfast ordinner?And why stay inside in the afternoon when you can study by the beach or in a bar?That's right.That's the way we teach.'Active Learning'is the best way to learn,practice,and perfect your English."Walk and Talk English&Eat and Drink English!"Are you considering new challenges?Would you like to take your English to the next level with our in-house methods that are highly effective,yet relaxing and fun?How about spending your hard-earned vacation time studying English during a delicious breakfast,or during lunch in a historical pub,or at night from a sky room as you enjoy views of London or Dublin?

The latest research points to a more and more threatening situation on the Northern Hemisphere’s iciest island.“Unprecedented(史无前例的)”rates of melting have been observed at the bottom of the Greenland ice sheet,a study published in February found,caused by huge quantities of meltwater flowing down from the surface.This water is particularly concerning because it can destabilize the sheet above it and could lead to a massive,rapid loss of ice.And in2020,scientists found that Greenland’s ice sheet had melted beyond the point of no return.The rate of melting in recent years exceeds anything Greenland has experienced in the last12,000years, another study found—and enough to cause measurable change in the gravitational field over Greenland.At the East Greenland Ice-core Project—or EastGRIP—research camp in northwest Greenland, the work of scientists to understand the impact of climate change is being affected by climate change itself.Aslak Grinsted,a climate scientist at the University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute,said that they have been trying to get flights into the camp but the warmth is destabilizing the landing site.Before human-caused climate change kicked in,temperatures near32degrees Fahrenheit there were unheard of.But since the1980s,this region has warmed by around1.5degrees Fahrenheit per decade—four times faster than the global pace—making it all the more likely that temperatures will cross the melting point.63.The passage is mainly written to_____.A.alert people to the rapid melting of Greenland’s ice sheetB.arouse people’s awareness of protecting the environmentrm people of the large amount of ice Greenland holdsD.reveal to people the cause and effect of the rise in sea level64.What does“a transformation”in the first paragraph refer to?A.Climate change.B.A rise in sea level.C.Global warming.D.The melting of ice.65.What can be learned about the ice that melted in2019?A.It repeated a record melting of the ice sheet several years ago.B.Its amount was the largest ever and lifted sea level permanently.C.It was enough to fill7.2million Olympic-sized swimming pools.D.Its melting rate was so rapid as to result in an unexpectedly hot spring.66.It is implied in the passage that_____.A.climate change is a result of human activitiesB.the study of climate change is being made easierC.the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet is reversibleD.temperatures increase1.5°F or so each decade globallySection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.The company has already achieved several milestones since it was founded.B.Its goal is to create sustainable meat products to replace meats such as beef,chicken and even fish.C.The layers of meat and fat can be regrouped in different proportions to create different flavorexperiences.D.Additionally,producing meat without having to raise and kill cattle may work out better forensuring animal welfare and overall health.E.The meat product is the first of its kind and was created using a specific3D-bioprintingtechnology that was recently patented by the company.F.In the final steps,the muscle cells and fat cells are turned into meat,ready to be processed into thefinal product,whether it’s a burger,steak,or even a meatloaf.Israeli Company Develops3D Printed BeefIf there were an award for the funniest company name of2022,then the3D printed meat company “Steakholder”would win that award.Israeli company Steakholder Foods Ltd.has introduced its new product,Omakase Beef Morsels, which are bioprinted with cultured meat.The bites are inspired by the world-famous Wagyu beef, famous for its fat marbling patterns(大理石花纹)in the meat,which is also very expensive.The company was formed in2019and has an office in Israel and Belgium,and is now expanding its operations to the US.67Stakeholder uses stem cells from cattle for the production of its printed beef,and the muscle tissue and fat are printed from two separate bio-inks.68A bite can be made juicier,chewier,and the taste can also be altered.The process works by first selecting the animals to extract(提取)the stem cells from.The cells are selected from animals that will provide the best meat and yield.The next step is proliferation,in which the cells are placed into a nutrient rich reactor to multiply.When the cells reach appropriate numbers,the stem cells change into muscle cells and fat cells.69“This product marks a major step forward for us and for the cultured meat industry in general,”said Arik Kaufman,CEO of Steakholder Foods.“It is the result of a lot of hard work and our desire to achieve the highest level of meat possible through bioprinting and cell culture processes.”70Its patent for3D-bioprinting technology is the result of intensive cooperation between its3D printing engineers and cell biologists.“We see Omakase Beef Morsels as the combination of food,technology and fine art,”Kaufman said.“We want to inspire chefs around the world to create delicious masterpieces and unforgettable dining experiences.”So there you have it,guilt-free meat eating may be just around the corner.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.ChatbotsWhat if instead of clicking on link after link on a company’s website,you could type a question and get an immediate,customized answer?Some companies are working to make this a reality using chatbots.Chatbots are computer programs that can communicate with human beings by phone,on messaging apps or on websites.There are two types of chatbots:open and closed.A closed chatbot follows a script,which may or may not involve using AI(artificial intelligence)to understand users’messages.An open chatbot uses AI both to figure out what users want and to generate responses.Open chatbots are able to learn from their conversations and thus improve their ability to communicate over time.This means that open chatbots can respond to a wider range of inquiries,compared with closed municating with them feels more natural,but if they have not been correctly trained,users may have a bad experience with them.One significant advantage of chatbots is that they are available all the time,even in the middle of the night.Plus,a single chatbot can cater to multiple users at once.This means that users can get immediate answers to their questions rather than waiting for a human representative.Chatbots have the potential to overcome several technological problems people face.These include difficulty in searching websites and trouble finding basic information and answers to simple questions.However,in order for chatbots to work,humans are still indispensable(不可或缺的).Someone has to program the chatbots initially,train them,and maintain and improve the chatbot system.Further, even open chatbots may not have the answers to detailed questions,and many people simply prefer speaking to a human rather than a chatbot.Thus,chatbots are unlikely to completely replace human agents.Rather,they will help users resolve simple problems so that customer service representatives can focus on more difficult issues.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.帮我去楼下杂货店买点面粉，行吗？(help)73.据报道，目前最重要的是要恢复被飓风摧毁的电力系统。
