2024届八省八校（T8）第二次联考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Books That Celebrate Diverse Holidays and Traditions It’s important to remember there are a diverse set of holidays available to explore. Below are a few books that help introduce children to different holiday cultures and traditions.Too Many Tamales by Gary Soto, illustrated by Ed MartinezWhile helping her mother with Christmas celebration, Maria is tempted to try on her mother’s diamond ring. After getting caught up in the joy of the holiday and playing with her cousins, Maria realizes the ring is missing! That’s when she and her cousins come up with a plan to eat all of the tamales, in hopes of finding the ring.Together for Kwanzaa by Juwanda G. Ford, illustrated by Shelly HehenbergerThis is a story about a little girl named Kayla who wants to see her older brother Khari come home so they can celebrate Kwanzaa together as a family. Khari is stuck at college when a snowstorm hits and his car breaks down. Will he make it home in time for Kwanzaa?A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas, illustrated by Trina Schart HymanThis book is a funny, nostalgic tale of Christmas Eve afternoon through Christmas night in Wales, and is full of unique imagery and poetic prose. It will arouse a sense of familiarity for some young readers while introducing them to different aspects of Christmas traditions.We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga by Traci Sorell, illustrated by Frane LessacThe word otsaliheliga is used by members of the Cherokee Nation to express gratitude. This is an amazing story that describes a journey through the seasons with a modern-day Cherokee family. Cherokee history and traditions are also woven into the story in a very kid-friendly way.1．What makes it difficult for Khari to return home in time for Kwanzaa?A.A car crash.B.Delayed flights.C.Extreme weather.D.Academic pressure.2．Who provides pictures for A Child’s Christmas in Wales?A.Traci Sorell.B.Ed Martinez.C.Dylan Thomas.D.Trina Schart Hyman. 3．The four books all inform readers of ______.A.how to find hidden treasures at homeB.how to strengthen bonds with friendsC.the lifestyles of different ethnic groupsD.different holiday celebrations and customsKristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.”Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism ca n cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses—and the pressure.She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says.A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says.4．Why did Kristin Schell start the movement?A.To host more parties in her front yard.B.To entertain her friends and neighbors.C.To engage with people in the neighbourhood.D.To create harmonious communities worldwide.5．Which of the following words best describe Kristin Schell according to the text?A.Creative and sociable.B.Friendly and humorous.C.Generous and ambitious.D.Cautious and responsible.6．What can be inferred from the text?A.People don’t like others to step into their houses.B.The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad.C.Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party.D.People feel unwilling to join in the front ya rd chat at first.7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Love Your NeighborsB.An Amazing WomanC.Happy Front Yard TimeD.Tables Where All Are WelcomeIf you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work? And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface? The second question is easier to answer: a lot.Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice? That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze.Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water.Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition—a Herculean task when winter brings its worst.8．What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2?A.To introduce the topic.B.To give some evidence.C.To define the phenomenon.D.To reveal the misconception.9．How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing?A.By lowering the temperature.B.By melting and splitting itself.C.By lining up to form a solid structure.D.By stopping the formation of the structure. 10．What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Concentrations.B.Weights.C.Qualities.D.Salts.11．What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about?A.Other salts won’t disturb local ecology.B.Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels.C.Many alternatives are available to solve the problem.D.Bitter winter make it impossible to secure road safety.About ten years ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present a mix of content, tailored by algorithms (算法) to match users’ interests, whether it’s plants, sports, cats, or politics.Kyle Chayka, a writer for The New Yorker, discusses this topic in his book, Filterworld. He explains that algorithms analyze user data to predict and influence what they will likely engage with. This means that instead of a simple, chronological feed, users encounter a dynamic stream, constantly adapting to their preferences. Chayka examines how these algorithmic recommendations control what we consume, from music and movies to food and travel destinations. He argues that this machine-driven selection process has turned us into passive consumers, making our preferences and tastes more similar.Chayka points out that algorithms make us passive by always showing us content that we’re unlikely to click away from but won’t find too unexpected or challenging. This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors.Moreover, Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like musicians and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms. For instance, musicians on Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their so ngs to grab the listener’s attention.Despite the strong presence of these algorithms, Chayka believes that regulation couldreduce their influence. He suggests that if Meta, the parent company of Facebook, were required to separate its various services, like Instagram or WhatsApp, and make them compete with each other, it could give users more control and choice over their digital consumption.In summary, the change from simple, time-ordered social, media posts to algorithm-driven content has a big impact on both the viewers and the creators, influencing what we see, hear, and even think. Chayka’s insights highlight the need for greater awareness and potentially more regulation in our increasingly digital world.12．According to the text, how have social media platforms changed in the past ten years?A.They show posts in a time-based order.B.They prioritize posts from friends and family.C.They make adjustments to satisfy users’ needs.D.They provide more content to meet different needs.13．What does Kyle Chayka think of algorithmic recommendations?A.They make users more active consumers.B.They shape users’ preferences and behaviors.C.They reduce the influence of content creators.D.They expose users to diverse and challenging content.14．How do algorith ms influence musicians’ work on digital platforms?A.By encouraging musicians to create longer songs.B.By discouraging musicians from using catchy hooks.C.By giving musicians more control and choice over their music.D.By requiring musicians to create their work to fit the platforms.15．What can be concluded from the text?A.Tech companies should have more departments.B.Social media algorithms give content creators less opportunities.C.Social media algorithms flatten our culture by making decision s for us.work platforms have increased the common recommendations for 10 years.二、七选五16．How to Protect Against Undue Influence Online The potential for undue influence has become increasingly significant in this era of digital interconnectivity. Undue influence can affect our perceptions and influence our decisions. It may even end anger our autonomy (自主) and mental health.①______Understand what undue influence isThe first step to protecting yourself is understanding what undue influence is. Undue influence refers to a situation in which an individual or group employs unreasonable control over another person’s behavior information, thoughts, and emotions. ②______Disinformation campaigns, persuasive advertising, and even content designed to cause fear, uncertainty, or dependency may often appear online.Develop media literacy skillsIn an age of fake news, it is crucial to develop media literacy skills. ③______Become a consumer who can tell the quality of information, identify the source, check for credibility, and look for your unconscious assumptions and preferences.④______Delete as much data as you can about yourself. Be mindful of what information you share online, and always ensure that your online activities are secured through reliable sources. R eview all policies on platforms, especially “free” ones. If you aren’t paying, then you are the product, as in many cases, they are selling your data.By including these steps into your digital life, you can protect yourself from undue influence in the online world, ensuring that you can think and act independently, free from ill control.⑤______It is your mind. Only you should control it!A.Prioritize privacyB.Be mindful of free onesC.It’s vital to have a health y Internet and real-life balance.D.In the digital world, undue influence can take many forms.E.Everyone deserves the right to live free from undue influence.F.They involve analyzing, evaluating, and creating media in various forms.G.Here are some essential strategies for you to protect yourself online from undue influence.三、完形填空（15空）Smith brought his three-month-old son out for breakfast one day.

He came to London intending(打算)to study law, but went to art school instead. There he found the traditional drawing classes diffcult, but still kept on painting.In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art and liked early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work. He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings.This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's never sure what the results will be. He says, "It's a secret-because I don't know myself. I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top." Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy. "Anyone can do the colours-you can buy them. I simply notice what you put the colours next to."Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did, he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards. Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished. This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting them. "If I feel they're worried and want tolook at the painting, I can't do it."Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish(苏格兰的)painting scene. He says he doesn't want to follow any tradition, but just paints the way he can. However, his work still influences young British painters.1．In the passage, the writer is trying to .A．describe particular works by Craigie AitchisonB．teach readers how to paint like Craigie AitchisonC．introduce the artist Craigie Aitchison to the readersD．explain how Craigie Aitchison has made money from painting2．What can the reader learn about Aitchison from the passage?A．He works in a different way from other artists.B．He often gets bored easily with his paintings.C．He found the drawing classes easy at art school.D．He was sure what his painting was like before drawing.3．Aitchison prefers models who don't .A．keep moving around while he's workingB．ask him about his strange method of workingC．worry about how long the work will takeD．feel worried to see the work as it's developing4．What might a visitor at an exhibition say about Aitchison's work?A．I love his recent painting of Scotland, which are very similar to a number of other Scottish painters.B．You can still see the influence of his trip to Italy in some of these pictures.C．You can tell he spent a lot of time drawing the picture before he started painting.D．I wonder if his law training helps him at all, especially in selling his work.B14、As the host city of the next Winter Games, Beijing held a wonderful eight-minute show at the closing ceremony of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics on Sunday, sending a warm invitation to the whole world.The show was directed by Zhang Yimou, a famous Chinese director who was also responsible for the eight-minute summer handover in Athens in 2004 as well as the opening and closing ceremonies in Beijing in 2008 that had a big success in the world.Unlike Athens which focused on showing Chinese history with traditional culture like red lantern and jasmine,“Beijing 8 Minutes” gave special importance to the Chinese people’s sincere welcome to the world by using modern technology.Leading the team were two dancers in costumes of panda puppets（布偶）that are the world’s largest but the lightest at the same time.To reduce the pressure on the two dancers, researchers had tried hundreds of different materials until ending up with high-technology ones.During the whole performance, the dancers and robots both wore LED lights on them that could be fit for the cold weather at PyeongChang Olympic Stadium without the risks of breaking.The costumes were also made with a kind of special material to keep the dancers warm. Performers danced with 24 intelligent robots – standing for Beijing hosting the 24th Winter Olympics. They showed scenes of sports such as skating and skiing. Pictures were projected to the icy floor while dancers skated across it, making a sense of augmented reality( 增强现实). A number of moving screens in the middle of the field were also controlled by artificial intelligence(人工智能).1．Which city will host the 24th Winter Olympics?A．Pyeong Chang B．Athens C．Tokyo D．Beijing2．According to the passage, how many Olympic projects has Zhang Yimou directed？A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.3．Which things did Athens use to show Chinese traditional culture?A．B．C．D．4．What do the dancers and robots both wear on them in the show. ?A．Red lanterns and jasmines. B．Sport suits.C．LED lights. D．Moving screens.5．What does the text mainly talk about?A．Athens 8 Minutes. B．Beijing 8 Minutes.C．The 2018 PyeongChang Olympics. D．The 2018 Beijing Olympics.C15、Dolores Huerta has worked hard most of her life to help other people. She has helped change things so that farm workers can have a better life.Dolores grew up in California. She was a good student and liked school.

Some of them wore very old clothes. Dolores wondered how she could help them.Dolores decided to stop teaching so that she could spend more time helping the farm workers and their families. One thing shewanted to do was to get more pay for farm workers so they could buy their children the things they needed.Dolores knew that many farm workers moved often from one place to another to help pick different kinds of fruits and vegetables. She began talking and writing about these workers. Even people who lived far from California read what Dolores wrote.Getting higher pay for the farm workers was not easy. Dolores worked hard to make sure that farm workers got good pay for their work. She knew that nothing would change unless people made new laws to help the workers.

The navy now has its first aircraft carrier(航空母舰), Liaoning. It’s a unique experience to get to know the life in the carrier. The carrier is just like a small city on the sea. It has all the functions for daily life. There are 4 words to sum up its characters: big, small, much and high. The carrier Liaoning is such a huge one that the total length of the whole corridor（过道）could reach over 20 kilometers. But the living space for the sailors（水手）is quite small. That’s because the carrier is designed for researching purposes, rather than comfortable living. Over 1,000 sailors, both men and women, are living onboard. They are arranged among over 3,000 tiny rooms below the deck.. For visitors, it’s so easy to get lost. So the first thing the new sailors have to learn is their way around. The number of female sailors is much less than that of the males, taking about 5 percent of the total. But they play a key role in carrying out some special missions.Also, you will be surprised b y the high level of education of today’s sailors. The captain said that over 90 percent of the sailorsare college graduates. Six hold Doctor’s Degrees and 45 have a Master’s. The whole team is young but vigorous. The complex work on the carrier requires high management abilities for the commanders onboard(在船上).1．Why do we visitors get lost easily inside the carrier?A．Because they don’t have a map.B．Because the living space is quite small.C．Because there are too many corridors for rooms.D．Because the corridor inside the carrier is too long.2．Why is the living space for the sailors（水手）quite small?A．Because the carrier is designed for researching purposes, rather than comfortable living.B．Because the carrier is small.C．Because It has all the functions for daily life.D．Because the whole corridor（过道）could reach over 20 kilometers.3．What does the word “high” in Line 4 refer to（指代）？A．The aircraft carrier is high since it is just like a small city.B．Most of the soldiers received good education.C．The expense（花费）to run a carrier is high.D．The high-level of their training.4．The number of female sailors is about ____________A．50 B．150 C．200 D．6005．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A．Liaoning is our country’s first air craft carrier.B．Most of the sailors on the carrier are college graduates.C．There are far fewer women sailors than men sailors on the carrier.D．It is comfortable for the sailors to live in the carrier.E17、There are a lot of interesting things living in the sea. There are many types of fish and many other animals. There are also many types of plants. There are even some animals which have a lot in common with you. They are mammals living in the sea.How much do you know about creatures that live in the sea? Do you want to know more about the food chain（链）in the sea?In the sea, all sea creatures get food from other sea creatures. At the first link of the food chain are the sea plants and plankton (浮游生物). Plants are found only in the sunlight zone where there is enough light for them, however, animals are found at all depths of the oceans though their numbers are greater near the surface where food is enough. Many kinds of fish and animals, such as the snail, shrimp, jellyfish, and sea star eat the plankton. The small animals and fish that eat plankton then become food for larger fish, such as the tuna and mackerel. These fish are then eaten by larger fish and animals, such as the shark and dolphin. The shark and dolphin are at the top of the food chain in the sea. Sharks are very dangerous so many people are eaten by them in the sea. But why the number of the shark is becoming smaller and smaller? And who eats the shark? Check out the menu at a seafood restaurant next time you are eating there. Don't be surprised if you find shark on the menu.1．The underlined word “creatures” means ______.A．维持B．生物C．奇特D．藻类2．Which is NOT true?A．Animals are found at all depths of the oceansB．Plants are found only in the sunlight zoneC．The large animals become food for small ones.D．The shark and dolphin are at the top of the food chain in the sea3．Plankton is food for ______.A．the snail B．shrimp C．sea star and jellyfish D．All the above4．______ are at the top of the food.A．The sea plants B．The small fish C．People D．The shark and dolphin5．What’s the passage mainly talk about?A．The sea plants B．Food Chain in the SeaC．Dangerous sharks D．Colorful Sea AnimalsF18、A recent report from Dazhou Daily says about 18% of Dazhou teenagers can have problems with their minds(内心，精神)．Some students become worried because they have to study very hard.Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates.Zhang Qiang，a Junior 2 student from Dazhou，could not understand his teachers in class and was doing badly in his lessons.He was afraid of exams.When he looked at the exam paper，he couldn’t think of anything to write.Another student，a 15yearold girl called Wu Yan from Guang’an often argued with her classmates even her parents because of some different ideas.She became so annoyed about them that she started to cut her finger with a knife.However，many students who have problems won’t go for advice or help.Some think they will look stupid(愚蠢的) if they go to see a doctor.Others don’t want to talk about their secrets.In order to solve the teenagers’ problems，here is some advice：●Talk to your parents or teachers often.●Take part in group activities and play sports.●Go to see a doctor if you feel unhappy or unwell.1．It is reported that________students in Dazhou can have problems with their minds.A．most B．many C．some2．From the passage we know teenagers have problems with their minds because of________.A．their studyB．getting on with other peopleC．A and B3．Wu Yan started to cut her finger with a knife because________.A．she couldn’t get on well with her classmates and even her parentsB．she could not understand her teachers in classC．she was afraid of exams4．Why don’t the students who have problems want to go for help?A．Because they think no one will help them.B．Because they don’t want to talk about their secrets and they think it’s stupid to see a doctor.C．Because they think the doctors could do nothing with their problems.5．How many pieces of advice are given to the teenagers who have problems in this passage?A．Two.

AWeekend trips in Europe can be a truly magical experience, from the sunny beaches of Greece to the rolling hills of Italy. The following destinations are places that are easily accessible and offer incredible experiences that you’ll always remember.Hallstatt, AustriaHallstatt, famous for its alpine houses, crystal clear lake, and snow-capped mountains, is among Earth’s most picturesque destinations. Activities include exploring salt mines and ancient churches, and taking a boat trip on Lake Hallstatt or visiting the nearby Dachstein Ice Cave, promising unforgettable experiences.Paris, FranceParis, with its iconic Eiffel Tower, winding streets, and charming cafes, is a top destination for couples seeking an unforgettable weekend. Whether exploring the City of Light or snuggling up in its gardens, Paris promises endless romance and cherished memories. For a weekend of European romance and adventure, look no further than Paris!Zakynthos, GreeceZakynthos, also called Zante, is famous as one of Europe’s most breathtaking islands, boasting white beaches, unspoiled nature, and crystal clear blue waters. It’s a top choice for a relaxing weekend break, offering activities like boat trips to the Blue Caves and exploring local pubs.Florence, ItalyFlorence’s breathtaking architecture, rich history, and Mediterranean climate make it ideal for a weekend getaway in Europe. Its small size allows you to explore extensively in just two days. Don’t miss the chance to learn to make gelato, pasta and pizza in a Florence cooking class, especially if you’re a food enthusiast.21．Where can you enjoy the boat trip?A．In Hallstatt and Paris.B．In Zakynthos and Florence.C．In Hallstatt and Zakynthos.D．In Paris and Florence.22．Why is Florence considered an ideal city for a weekend trip?A．For its salt mines and ancient churches.B．For its architecture, history, and climate.C．For its famous Blue Caves and relaxing atmosphere.D．For its large size and vast exploration opportunities.23．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A travel guide.B．An educational novel.C．A science fiction.D．A research paper.BWhen the pool near Paris where he worked as a lifeguard was closed due to poor economic conditions, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were almost empty. At one pool there was a small waterslide(水滑道), which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”.Shooting down a slide in hard hat and hi-viz vest(防护衣) or smiling broadly in cool shapes to the music, Pop soon became a social media hit. He was hired to “test” slides and other facilities at water parks, swimming pools and campsites all over France. Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business. No longer working as a lifeguard, he travels the country checking the condition of waterslides, trying them out to determine how fun they are and creating amusing videos to attract customers.“First of all, I check it without water, to make sure it’s in an acceptable state,” explains Pop, who must keep up-to-date on water park regulations. If he finds a waterslide needs work—for example, if there are bumpy joints, which can hurt sliders—management will bring in a specialist repairer. “After that, I test it with water,” Pop says.Then he moves on to the fun, promotional aspect. Sometimes he takes over a leisure park and invites social media influencers to enjoy it too. In 2022, he took 25 influencers to O’Gliss Park, an enormous water park on the Atlantic coast.Pop estimates he’s tested around 700 French waterslides and is now eyeing water parks abroad, such as Switzerland, Portugal and Spain, where he has been testing slides during the winter. “It’s the best job in the world,”declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. “I’m not behind a desk. I’m active and outside in the sun. And I build a positive relationship with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!”24．What motivated Guillaume Pop to make TikTok videos about waterslides?A．His interest in lifeguarding techniques.B．His passion for competitive swimming.C．A suggestion from his friends to become a social media hit.D．The loss of his lifeguard job due to poor economic conditions.25．How did Guillaume Pop’s career change after gaining popularity on TikTok?A．He began working as a manager at a water park.B．He started a real-life waterslide-testing business.C．He joined a professional swimming team in Paris.D．He became a lifeguard at multiple pools in France.26．Why does Guillaume Pop describe his job as“the best job in the world”?A．He gains a high salary and job security.B．He tests over 700 waterslides in France.C．He gets to travel extensively to different countries.D．He enjoys working outdoors and interacting with customers.27．Which is a suitable title for the text?A．Guillaume Pop: The TikTok Star of Water ParksB．Guillaume Pop: From Lifeguard to a Traveler in ParisC．Guillaume Pop’s Journey: From Pool Closures to Waterslide AdventuresD．Guillaume Pop’s Journey: Creating Waves in Swimming PoolsCA recent survey in the US found that Gen Z-ers and Millennials(千禧一代) visit libraries more often than their parents or grandparents. The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and—as my11-year-old would say—“aesthetic”. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video. Libraries are also a great place to meet people. If you’re both young and in a library, chances are that you have similar interests.And then, too, there are the books. Gen Z-ers are turning out to be big readers, especially of paper books. Even though they have smartphones, the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, in their pockets, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th-century technology instead. They like the fact that books areself-contained and require concentration.There is, sometimes, a sense of nostalgic(怀旧的) cosplay in the way young people read. In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fuelled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books.The very thought of it makes me suffer, but that’s because I’m a child of the 1970s and 1980s. To me, reading is a private pleasure, while screens—TV or cinema—are social. I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a“family reading hour”, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines(旧时的裙衬).But still, I applaud these young readers—for knowing what is good for them, for seeking out human connection, for finding the beauty and pleasure in old institutions, and for bringing new life to the library.28．What does the underlined word “aesthetic” in paragraph l mean?A．Visually appealing.B．Similarly private.C．Spiritually relaxing.D．Economically practical.29．Why do many young people choose to read paper books despite having smartphones?A．Paper books are cheaper than smartphones.B．Paper books are easier to carry around.C．Paper books are a form of nostalgic entertainment.D．Paper books offer a distraction-free reading experience.30．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The popularity of TikTok in New York.B．A gathering attended by strangers free of charge.C．A new reading trend integrating the old and new.D．Historical costumes and their appeal to young readers.31．Why does the author mention a “family reading hour” in paragraph 4?A．To highlight her success in parenting the children.B．To illustrate her attempt to combine personal and joint reading habits.C．To criticize the lack of interest in performance among family members.D．To emphasize the importance of dressing formally during family activities.DToday, poetry and science are often considered to be completely separate career paths. However, that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. Similarly, the poet John Keats was also a licensed surgeon. The combination of these disciplines fell out of favor in the 1800s. Recently, however, there has been a reappearance of interest among scientists in expressing their research through poetry, such as lyrics and haiku, as alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.“Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki, participated in one of Illingworth’s workshops where she and fellow scientists were tasked with writing haikus that highlighted water, a common theme in their research. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do harm ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says.That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees, noting that poetry simplifies complex scientific concepts into language that everyone can understand.Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share.32．What trend has been observed recently among scientists?A．A decline in interest in poetry and science.B．A preference for traditional research methods. C．An increase in combining science and poetry.D．A focus on historical figures like Ada Lovelace. 33．How does Sam Illingworth bridge the gap between science and the public?A．By translating classic poetry into different languages.B．By teaching at the University of Western Australia.C．By advocating for more funding in geoscience research.D．By organizing workshops and publishing a science-poetry journal.34．How did Stephany Mazon feel about the experience of writing a haiku in the workshop?A．It was challenging and difficult.B．It was enjoyable and straightforward.C．It was a waste of time.D．It was too artistic for her taste.35．What is one advantage of using poetry for science communication?A．It simplifies complex scientific ideas for a general audience.B．It promotes academic research in universities.C．It replaces traditional boring science textbooks.D．It emphasizes the significance of public lectures.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

第二节（满分20分）
Nowadays, many people cross streets without looking at the traffic lights. Why? I think there are two main reasons. Some people lack awareness of traffic safety. Besides, some people are so busy that they don’t want to wait for the green light.
However, it has brought danger to themselves as well as to others. So I hope something must be done to avoid traffic accidents. First of all,
whoever breaks the traffic rules should be punished. Secondly, I hope government should make the crossroads more convenient and available for people to cross the street.
As a student, I must observe the right light to cross the road, and never follow those who lead themselves to danger. What’s more, I will try my best to advise people to obey the rules. Only in this way can we cross streets safely.。
