AFrom December 1st, 2023 to November 30th, 2024, visitors can stay in China for up to 15 days without a visa. Below are several easy steps for planning a first China tour.Decide How Many Days to StayWe suggest you take at least a week for your first trip to see the highlights in the top three cities: Beijing (3–4 days), Xi’an (2 days), and Shanghai (1–2 days).To discover more of China, like charming Guilin and lovely Chengdu pandas, you would need a few more days.Consider When to Travel to ChinaThings to do in Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai are seldom affected by the seasons.Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are generally the most comfortable and recommended times for a China tour. They are neither too hot nor too cold, but fall is generally drier and warmer than spring.A more ideal travel time for you could be March and early April or September when there are smaller crowds, favorable prices, and still good weather.China is a good summer holiday destination too.Consider Your BudgetThe biggest cost could be international airfares. The cost of airfares from the US or Europe to China varies a lot depending on when you fly and which airline you use, from around US$1,200 to US$3,000 for an economy round trip.The biggest price difference between the off and peak seasons is in the price of hotels and airfares. Prices in peak seasons can go up by 50 to 100%.For a private tour, the average cost per day is about US$220–350 per person, including flights/trains within China, 4- or 5-star hotels, lunches, attractions, guides, and private transport.We Believe Private and Tailor-Made Tours Are BestWith our private tours, you would have much more personal choice in how your tour goes. You could have more hand-picked and interactive experiences, like visiting a local family with your own local guide.With private guiding and transport, we would make full use of your time. You could focus on the sightseeing you want to do, skipping what’s not of interest and the long queues in the most crowded attractions.21. If you have a tour in China in winter, which places are suitable for you?A. Beijing and Guilin.B. Xi’an and Chengdu.C. Shanghai and Chengdu.D. Beijing and Xi’an.22. What can we know from the text?A. A visa is needed for a 12-day tour.B. The highest expense is the accommodation fee.C. Travelling in March can save tourists money.D. Prices in peak seasons usually go up by 150%.23. Which of the following is NOT the reason why a tailor-made tour is recommended?A. You have more choices about your route.B. Your time will be maximized.C. You are likely to interact with locals in person.D. You will spend less on the tour.BThree years into my postdoc(博士后), I started to wonder whether I needed a new career plan. After applying for more than two dozen teaching jobs, I hadn’t landed a single interview.I had once considered going to art school but had put that idea to the side when I decided to pursue chemistry as an undergraduate. In the years that followed, I kept up my interest in art by taking painting classes at night. My family was bursting with mathematicians, computer programmers, and engineers, so it felt natural to have my daily life center around science.But in the spring after my failed job search, that started to change after a friend excitedly showed me proofs of a review article. She was astonished by what the journal’s scientific illustrator had done with her fundamental sketches(速写). “That would be such a fun job.” I thought.I decided to test out a new career direction by volunteering to create similar illustrations for my institute’s newsletters. I spent my nights and weekends reading scientific papers and thinking about how to illustrate the results. It was a fun task. I felt I was perhaps on the right path. But could I make a full-time career?Searching online, I tracked down people who had that kind of job. I found many had training through scientific illustration master’s degree programs. After living on graduate student and postdoctoral salaries for years, I didn’t have enough money saved up for the programs, so I decided to get a certificate in digital design.I now work as a visual designer at a biomedical research institute where I spend my days working with research to communicate their work visually. I love the fact that I get to combine my scientific and artistic sides.24. Why did the author attend classes at night?A. To please her family.B. To pass her undergraduate tests.C. To pursue her hobby.D. To complete optional courses in art.25. What effect did the proofs have on the author?A. They shook her belief in science.B. They tested out what she learned in class.C. They gave her inspiration for her scientific paper.D. They motivated her to find a new career direction.26. What prevented the author seeking a scientific illustration master’s degree?A. Her busy schedule.B. Her financial difficulties.C. Her new interest in digital design.D. Her lack of confidence.27. How does the author feel about her current job?A. Pressured.B. Desperate.C. Curious.D. Satisfied.CAdministrators of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu province, are striving to harmonize tourists’ exploration of the site with the need to safeguard murals and artifacts, through innovative measures such as digital presentations.Sandstorms, rainfall and tourist visits constitute the most severe threats to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, said Wang Xiaowei, director of the Dunhuang Grottoes Monitoring Center at the Dunhuang Academy.Since the Mogao Caves opened to the public in 1979, the number of visitors has been growing at an average annual rate of around 20 percent, reaching 2.15 million in 2019 before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thisyear, the site is expected to receive a record 3 million visitors.“If you enter the caves during the peak tourism months of July, August and September, you’ll find it hard to breathe,” Wang said. The carbon dioxide and moisture exhaled by visitors accumulate inside the caves and cause damage to the murals, Wang said.To preserve the caves, the duration of visits is limited and sometimes stopped during rain or dust storms. To try and ensure visitors aren’t disappointed when restrictions are in place, the center provides a digital exhibition, he said.Currently, the center is being expanded to cater for an additional 3,000 visitors on top of the existing capacity of 6,000.The Dunhuang Academy began digitally recording and storing images of murals and painted sculptures over 30 years ago. The digitization project has successfully covered over 200 caves, with a dedicated team of 110 experts currently undertaking the work.The Mogao Caves are immovable, and transporting them is impossible, according to Su Bomin, head of the Dunhuang Academy. And he added, “However, with digitization, we can perfectly replicate Dunhuang art and showcase it worldwide, introducing Eastern culture to the world.”In 2016, the Digital Dunhuang repository went live, sharing high-definition images and panoramic tours of the most exquisite 30 caves globally. Currently, visitors from 78 countries have accessed the repository, totaling over 16.8 million visits.Su said Dunhuang can provide diverse cultural exchanges through its cultural relics. “By digitizing these relics, we enable people worldwide to understand Dunhuang’s culture, thereby gaining a deeper appreciation for China’s historical commitment to diverse cultural exchanges — that is, an ethos of inclusivity, mutual learning and a shared future,” he said.28. Which of the following is NOT the reason for providing a digital exhibition?A. The factors related to COVID-19 put the caves in grave danger.B. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves.C. The authority is aimed to balance tourism and relics conservation.D. The duration of visits is limited and sometimes stopped during rain or dust storms.29. What does the underlined word “replicate” probably mean?A. Copy.B. Safeguard.C. Access.D. Transport.30. What does Su Bomin think of digitization?A. It records and stores images of murals and painted sculptures.B. It shares high definition and panoramic tours of the most exquisite caves.C. It allows for an international exchange of cultures through the relics.D. It enables people to appreciate the lasting beauty of the murals.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. The Significance of the Mural PaintingsB. The Restoration in Mogao CavesC. The Innovation on Mogao Caves’ PreservationD. The Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese CultureDThe road to Mars is long and fraught with peril. One challenge is getting humans to the red planet; another is ensuring that once they’ve arrived, they’ll be able to manage life there.To prepare astronauts for an extended stay on Mars, NASA’s latest simulated mission, CHAPEA — Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog — will isolate four people inside a mock-Mars base in Texas for 378 days — roughly the time a manned mission to Mars would spend on the surface.Once inside they will adopt a pre-planned schedule taking part in simulated activities and science work, eating like astronauts, and dealing with maintenance and equipment failures, while undergoing strenuous psychological and physiological testing.The first simulation will begin in June, and will be followed by two more, each with a different crew in identical conditions, with the last simulation starting in 2026.“We’ve built a high-accuracy Mars surface mission scenario,” says Scott M. Smith, co-investigator for CHAPEA. The participants will experience a 22-minute delay in external communications, as astronauts would on Mars. Ambient noise will be played through speakers around the base, ensuring no outside sounds can be heard by participants.Aiming for accuracy has resulted in a habitat that could be feasibly built on Mars, Smith adds. The base, called “Mars Dune Alpha”, is a custom design by Bjarke Ingels Group and 3D-printing company ICON, and resides inside a hangar at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Printed in a month from ICON’s concrete formula dubbed “Lavacrete”, on Mars, the idea is to build using Martian soil.“NASA has evaluated a tremendous number of options for off-world habitat construction — repurposed rockets and landers, inflatables, assembled buildings, etc.,” explains ICON CEO Jason Ballard. “They’ve come to believe what we believe: that when you evaluate it from a financial, safety and flexibility standpoint, robotic construction using local materials is far and away the best option.”32. What’s the purpose of NASA’s latest simulated mission?A. To get astronauts to Mars.B. To isolate four people inside a base in Mars.C. To help astronauts to do experiments in Mars.D. To prepare astronauts for managing life in Mars.33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The last simulation will end in 2026.B. Each stimulation has a different crew in the same conditions.C. The participants can hear outside sounds.D. The participants will do things different from those that astronauts do.34. What’s Smith’s attitude to the simulated mission?A. Indifferent.B. Pessimistic.C. Optimistic.D. Skeptical.35. What is the most commonly used technique in the text?A. Making comparison.B. Giving examples.C. Analyzing causes and effects.D. Listing figures.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。

（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读理解Books to Read in Your 20sThe Kite Runner By Khaled HosseiniAs a Middle Eastern and North African Studies student, I have a great interest in books about what takes place in this area. I first read this book in high school and really enjoyed it because of its accurate language. If any of you is interested in reading this book and hasn't yet, I highly recommend it.Fire fly Lane By Kristin HannahThis is my favorite book. It is a story about friendship, love and life lessons. The story covers the lives of two best friends, Tully and Kate, from childhood to adulthood. I learned so much about friendship and life. So, read Firefly Lane! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and then you'll share this book to your best friend.Half the Sky By Nicholas KristofFor any person of any age, Half the Sky is a must-read. It describes the struggle of women and the most pressing human rights problems of our time: the common oppression of women and girls.The Little Prince By Antoine de SaintThis children's book is simple. It might seem like a wrong book to recommend to someone in their twenties, but perhaps that's what makes it a good choice. It sings praises to exploration and shows the importance of making friends. 1．Who is the writer of the book The Kite Runner?A．Khaled Hosseini.B．Kristin Hannah.C．Nicholas Kristof.D．Antoine de Saint.2．What can we learn about the book Firefly Lane?A．It's written by Tully and Kate.B．It talks about friendship and life.C．It's a simple book for children.D．It's a comic book with humorous writing.3．Which book will you read if you want to know about human rights problems?A．The Kite Runner.B．Firefly Lane.C．Half the Sky.D．The Little Prince.阅读理解There is an English saying that "Laughter(笑) is the best medicine." Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people's health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. 4．According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?A．Laughter is good for healthB．Laughter can make you become old quicklyC．Laughter helps to reduce pain.D．Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.5．The underlined word "diminishes" in the third paragraph means "____".A．delays B．prevents C．increases D．reduces6．Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics?A．Because they want to earn more money.B．Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.C．Because they want to improve their patients' condition.D．Because they want their patients to practice how to laugh7．What would be the best title for this passage?A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for healthB．Laughter clinics help patients improve their conditionC．Laughter can reduce the effects of painD．Laughter is the best medicine.阅读理解Popcorn Park Zoo is not like most zoos. It is a very special place.This unusual place was not originally a zoo. At first it was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there looked after lost or unwanted cats and dogs. Today the center is part of the zoo, but now many other kinds of animals are helped there, too.The changes to the center began in 1977 when a raccoon(浣熊) needed help. One of its front paws(爪子) had been badly hurt. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. The raccoon was allowed to live there. Then a hurt deer was brought there for help. It, too, stayed there after it got well.Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center, they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. Soon it was no longer just a home for cats and dogs. So many animals were living there that it became more like a zoo.Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn made without oil or salt. The popcorn is sold there to help make money to care for the animals. People buy the popcorn to feed the animals as a treat.Popcorn Park Zoo now looks after more than 200 kinds of animals. Many of them live freely there. Some of the gentler ones, such as goats, sheep, geese, and deer, walk among the visitors who come to see them. Others are kept in large closed areas almost like their natural homes. All the animals there get care and love.8．Before 1977, the center was a home for ____.A．lost or unwanted cats and dogsB．hurt or homeless raccoons and goatsC．lost or unwanted deer and sheepD．hurt or homeless raccoons and geese9．How did the workers in the center help the raccoon?A．They changed its front paws.B．They cured it and let it live there.C．They sent it back to its home.D．They built another home just for it.10．The popcorn is sold in Popcorn Park Zoo to ____.A．treat the visitors B．reward the workersC．trick the animals D．raise money11．What can we learn about animals in the zoo from the last paragraph?A．They all live in closed areas.B．Some of them can walk out of the zoo freely.C．All of them are taken good care of.D．Some of them have already returned to nature.阅读理解Fu Yuanhui is China's newest sweetheart. The 20-year-old swimmer from Hangzhou won a bronze medal at the recent Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But it wasn't the medal that charmed people's hearts, it was Fu's honest remarks and bubbly personality.Climbing out of the pool after a semi-final heat, Fu looked tired and out of breath, and not very happy. She thought her time may not have been good enough to make the final. But the reporter told her otherwise. Fu had just swum a personal best! And it was Fu's reaction (反应) to this news that made everyone fall in love with her.Her eyes got big and smiled. "Wow, I'm so fast!" she said. And she joked with the girl reporter that she must have been helped by her "mystical powers." Later, after the final race, it was the same reporter who again surprised Fu by telling her she'd won a bronze medal. "What? Really?" she said, "That's not so bad, then."Fu worked hard to get to the Olympics and her training, she said, "Even though I did not win a gold medal, I surpassed (超过) myself and I am happy with that."12．What kind of medal did Fu Yuanhui win in the Olympic Games in Brazil?A．The gold medal.B．The silver medal.C．The bronze medal.D．None.13．Why didn't Fu Yuanhui feel happy after the semi-final heat at first?A．Because she didn't feel well.B．Because she thought she didn't do well.C．Because she wasn't satisfied with her reaction.D．Because the reporter asked her an unhappy question.14．The third paragraph tells us Fu Yuanhui ____.A．had an expressive faceB．was satisfied with herselfC．thought the game is unfair for herD．was sorry to get the bronze medal15．We can learn from the underlined words that Fu Y uanhui ____.A．thought she had tried her bestB．thought she was lucky enoughC．wanted to thank the reporterD．planned to win the gold medal二、第二部分，阅读理解，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。

In 2023, “Britain’s Got Talent” (BGT) uncovered a musical genius named Malaka i Bayoh who impressed the audience with perfect high-note singing.The London-based 13-year-old boy appeared for the show’s audition ( 海选) in April, 2023 and was accompanied by his mom and sister. “My big dream is to be an opera singer. I started singing at 7,” said Malakai to the BGT team. He then added jokingly, “My mom made me join the choir because she’s very bossy.” The teenager mentioned she was his biggest fan.Malakai’s mom was worried as he was about to perform and said, “It scares me because, on his first show, somebody heckled (对……起哄) him. It was sad to see someone boo a child on stage because it might destroy his confidence completely.” Contrary to his mom’s fear, Malakai set the stage on fire singing a beautiful song and the entire crowd was impressed by his amazing voice. As he ended hissong, the audience and the judges gave him a big round of applause. The performance won him Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer, sending him straight to the semi-finals of the show.The other judges called Malakai’s performance “perfect” and “heavenly” . His angelic voice blew the audience away and the judges thanked the teen for coming to the show. Malakai went on to become one of the finalists of the show and signed a record deal with Universal Music.Malakai’s audition at the BGT went viral on social media, “I’m a trained singer, and a music teacher by profession, and sang this song as a young performer myself. I can say with absolute certainty this is the best I’ve ever heard this song sung, with proper technique a nd proper breathing. This boy is a gifted singer,”@mayacorinne878 posted.24. What made Malakai’s mom feel worriedA. The judge’s expression.B. Her son’s performance on stage.C. A bad experience.D. Her son’s difficulty in singing in public. 25. What do es the phrase “set the stage on fire” in paragraph 3 imply about Malakai’s performance A. He accidentally caused a literal fire during his performance.B. His performance was extremely passionate and energetic.C. His performance received the lowest rating possible.D. He refused to perform unless certain conditions were met.26. What can be inferred about Malakai’s talentA. He has average talent but is well-received due to his age.B. He has exceptional talent that is recognized by both professionals and the public.C. He has talent, but his performance was not enough to send him to the semi-finals.D. He lacks talent, but his story touched the hearts of the audience.27. What is the text mainly aboutA. The rise of a young opera singer.B. The impact of social media on music talent.C. The history of “Got Talent” shows.D. The challenges faced by young performers.CFor adults who have struggled with understanding new math homework or surprised at how quickly kids can learn a second language, there is new evidence that shows kids can really learn things much faster than adults.A study published in Current Biology finds that children and adults have different concentrations of a key brain messenger called gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA. This messenger slows down the brain by blocking specific signals in the body’s central nervous system. It also produces a calming effect and is thought to play amajor role in controlling the overactivity of nerve cells associated with anxiety, stress and fear. All these contribute to the learning of new things.In the study, the researchers from Brown University usedneuro-imaging techniques to examine visual perceptive ( 视觉感知的) learning in elementary school-aged children and adults. Participants were shown a number of different images and were later asked questions about them following the test.Visual learning caused an increase of GABA in children’s visual cortex( 皮层), the area of the brain that processes visual information. However, GABA levels didn’t change in th e adults who took the same visual tests. In addition, children participants kept that GABA increase for hours after training ended, while the concentrations of GABA remained the same in the adults studied. “In subsequent behavioral experiments, we found th at children indeed learn more items within a given period of time than adults.” said Sebastian M. Frank, the co-author of the study. “Our results therefore point to GABA as a key player in making learning more efficient in children.”These results, the authors argue, should encourage teachers and parents to keep giving children opportunities to learn anything from riding a bike to playing an instrument throughout theirchildhood.The findings may also change neuro-scientists ’ conception of brain maturity i n children. “Although children’s brains are not yet fully mature and many of their behavioral and cognitive functions are not as efficient as in adults, children are not, in general, surpassed in their learning abilities by adults,” said study co-author Takeo Watanabe.28. What’s the function of GABAA. Send specific messages to the brain.B. Deal with complex math problems.C. Make the nervous system more active.D. Increase efficiency in learning new things.29. What do we know about the children taking the visual test A. Their GABA concentrations kept increasing after training. B. Their learning abilities still needed to be improved.C. They could remember more images than adults.D. They were surpassed by adults in learning abilities.30. How did the researchers do the researchA. By comparing participants ’ reaction.B. By analyzing statistics.C. By collecting relative evidence.D. By conducting online survey.31. What does Takeo Watanabe want to say in the last paragraphA. Neuro-scientists don’t fully understand brain maturity in children.B. Children are not mature in their behavior and cognition.C. It takes a long time for children’s brains to be fully mature.D. Children’s brain maturity does not affect their learning abilities. DArtificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, Open AI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions.Sora is said to be superior to many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios ( 屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is astonishing. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by. Sora’s amazing performance wouldn’t be possibl e without itshelpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions, improving the accuracy of output. However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently.Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals.32. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3A. Sora’s development.B. Sora’s diversity.C. Sora’s capabilities.D. Sora’s popularity.33. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 5A. To highlight Sora’s potential safety risks.B. To illustrate Sora’s existing limitations.C. To showcase Sora’s perfect performance.D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch.34. What can we know about Sora up to nowA. It has been made available to various industries.B. Its commercial release has been called off.C. It has exposed alarming security issues.D. It is undergoing testing and improvement.35. What’s the best title for the textA. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos.B. Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT.C. Sora:Generate a rich variety of videos.D. Sora:A perfecttext-to-video AI model.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
